[00:00] mmvx: umm, grub-probe failed? unknown hardware? [00:00] wookienz: 1- yes, 2- i don't know [00:00] open it and search for linux-image [00:00] Yoman, by not being to connect to a server? no that's not the only reason, contact the chess server guy [00:00] Steve132 there is a command on the wiki: /sbin/grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg [00:00] I have a copy of Server Ubuntu 9.10 [00:00] Does it have a UI? [00:00] Yoman, or tunnel ssh through telnet [00:00] Okay, I went to kernel and modules and there's one package that says drbd8-source [00:00] Aled: not by default [00:01] Steve132, might it be possible to run this from the live cd but specify the /boot/grub/grub.cfg in the mounted partition === mnepton is now known as mneptok [00:01] Yoman, but you need to be a clever girl [00:01] brb [00:01] Would it be accessed like windows 3.11, as in "win" or would I have to install it? [00:01] Ok. Where did the resolution gui vanish to? [00:02] hello [00:02] Aled: do u want a GUI? [00:02] hi karmst [00:02] I do [00:02] mkanyicy, tunnel? so you mean there is a way around it? even if the server isn't running ssh, is it still possible to encrypt my information? [00:02] faileas: thanks. thought that was the case. [00:02] hi mkany [00:02] Has anyone had any problems with their browser not timing out on a secure site while tethered via cell phone? [00:03] Is there any application for linux or ubuntu that acts like MMC for microsoft? [00:03] mmvx: so I did it from the chroot [00:03] and it finishe [00:03] Yoman, ssh encrypts the info using RSA algorithm, if you *MANAGE TO* tunnel that to the unsafe telnet, then you are still safe [00:03] but it said "error, no mapping exists for nvidia_eg* [00:04] mmc ? [00:04] and then "cannot found list of partitions" [00:04] MMC = microsoft management console [00:04] is there a ares copy native tu ubuntu? [00:04] an* [00:04] Aled: what are u using this server for? [00:04] Hey guys, How do I uninstall an unwanted ubuntu kernel? [00:04] mkanyicy, sounds nice.. any hints on how to achieve such a thing? =) [00:04] Yoman, not that I know a success story about it, it's worth trying [00:04] Web hosting, dim3000 [00:04] like you can add active directory management and monitoring etc... or multiple RDP sessions [00:05] It needs Apache, PHP and MySQL [00:05] Ilmatic: from your package manager. [00:05] Ilmatic: via the package manager.. i for get how they are named however.. [00:05] Ilmatic: take care to not remove them all. :) [00:05] hej. where can I get driver for my printer? canon l120 [00:05] Aled: not sure why u want a GUI then but you can try installing a lightweight desktop environment like xfce [00:05] is there an ares native tu ubuntu? [00:05] afroman: check cups.org to see how supported it is. [00:05] However, wouldn't a GUI allow me to manage the server easier? [00:05] how can I check if there are extents enabled on a ext4 partition? [00:05] Aled: ubuntu-desktop is the package you need for a GUI. [00:05] er [00:06] if its a server, ubuntu desktop is WAAAY too heavy [00:06] I'm looking at all the kernel and modules tab and I have none installed. [00:06] hej Dr_Willis [00:06] Aled: try openbox or icewm if you want a lightweight gui [00:06] a server doesn't need a GUI [00:06] Yet, on reboot, there's this other kernel that always pops up. [00:06] Aled: depends, but it also poses security risks and perofrmance issues [00:06] or you could use a control panel rather than a GUI [00:06] bak again [00:06] Alright [00:06] like C-panel or ISPConfig [00:06] Yoman, first you must be a guru when it comes to port forwarding, ssh works on port 22 (by default) and telnet to another port i don;t know, [00:06] blakkheim: well, i feel so too. then again a server dosen't need anything but a power source and a connection to the network, as far as i am concerned ;p [00:07] if u really want to [00:07] faileas: some services would be nice [00:08] blakkheim: well, that's based off my needs. monitor, and keyboard are optional, post install though [00:08] mmvx, what I ment is since it seems I can connect to pretty much anything with telnet, doesn't telnet require any particular service to run on the server in order to connect? [00:08] Aled: u can use xfce for example [00:08] Also, is it possible to run Server Ubuntu in a simulated enviroment, such as Microsoft Virtual PC? [00:08] Steve132: I wonder what your sudo fdisk -l looks like [00:08] Aled: certainly [00:08] telnet requires telnet server [00:08] Alright [00:08] Aled: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [00:08] Yoman telnet is just a way of sending the commands to services running on a server [00:08] Aled: you'd probably want a bridged connection. there's also a ubuntu build that's optimised for virtualisation [00:09] Yoman for instance you can telnet to a mail server on port 25 and send an email [00:09] I run Server Ubuntu 8.04 off VMware ESX [00:09] so it's possible [00:09] Yoman but you only have access to the commands the service will allow you [00:09] syockit: inside the chroot? [00:09] Yoman so for http it's GET and POST etc etc [00:09] Dr_Willis: can't find my printer canon l120 on cups.org [00:09] Ok. Where did the resolution gui vanish to? [00:09] Aled: my test server runs on vmware. i'm tempted to set up a buildbox on one too [00:09] Ok. Where did the resolution gui vanish to? [00:09] Ok. Where did the resolution gui vanish to? [00:09] dirkson: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:10] Ok [00:10] Yoman but ssh actually loads you up a shell on the server, allowing you much more control. This can be restricted depending on the configuration but it's much more powerful [00:10] I'm just planning to run it virtually to learn how to use it [00:10] Steve132: umm, it doesn't have to be... just to check whether you have proper partitioning. I just do not understand what it means by no mapping [00:10] that's a good idea, Aled [00:10] I'm a Linux noob, I've used Microsoft Windows for years [00:10] me too Aled [00:11] mmvx, ok that helped alot =) thanks [00:11] But I'm planning on hosting my website on a dedicated server at home when I change ISPs [00:11] #raciborz [00:11] I'm a MCSE , MCP, and CCIE [00:11] I won't ever go back...unless I need to use wireshark. ; ) [00:11] and I'm still just now learning linux [00:11] mkanyicy, ok.. sounds like it will take some time [00:11] Aled: ubunutu server is great for that, it makes it easy in my opion (i host my own) [00:11] Aled I use CentOS for my webserver [00:12] yo [00:12] Ah [00:12] Aled: web hosting on ubuntu is kinda simple - there's a pre-configured LAMP option. i added phpmyadmin, since i can't be bothered to work with raw sql, and its perfectly usable [00:12] Steve132: btw can you repeat the grub-install thing outside chroot, this time with the flag: --modules=raid [00:12] Sounds good [00:12] anyone there? [00:12] I was looking at this page: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=596002 and I can not seem to find what it is talking about. The sound applet I have seems to suck. [00:13] i got an problem with video formats [00:13] Aled have you ever used Apache before? [00:13] The problem I have is that I want to add my mono speaker output but cannot seem to find it in sound preferences. Is their some alternative sound controler software? [00:13] Yoman no probs. Is your chess server a linux machine? [00:14] Hey how can I set up snort on ubuntu? [00:14] karmst, I've used xampp for 2 years [00:14] hi, how do i recompile a package from source? I need ruby to be recompiled, steps seem more convoluted then just compiling the source [00:14] Which includes Apache === d3c3p710n_ is now known as d3c3p710n [00:14] Hello. I am looking for traffic compression software (high-cost GPRS here). Advise me please. [00:14] syockit: http://www.pastebin.org/71909 [00:14] mmvx, I'm guessing so, but wouldn't know... It's fics, the free internet chess server [00:15] although, I think that seems to not include nvidia_mapper [00:15] ok then you should have no problems. It's a lot easier to write the config file then mess around with all the MS windows IIS stuff trying to make everything work [00:15] Like, not directly [00:15] mmvx, so what I'm doing is "telnet fics.freechess.org 5000" followed by logging in [00:15] Steve132 that looks like 2 mirrored drives [00:15] You may also want to check out Joomla [00:15] Are Server Ubuntu services such as LAMP included in the CD/Image [00:15] Or would I have to download them? [00:16] anybody know where I can get driver for my printer canon l120? [00:16] mmvx: Yeah, thats exactly what I see too.... I just expected that I would see 1 'cause its not in hardware [00:16] the ubuntu server has the ability to install LAMP during the OS install [00:16] Steve132: umm, you have so many partitions.... I can only imagine that one of them is the boot partition (/dev/sda2 ?), which means you need to mount it as well... [00:16] brilliant [00:16] any way to make secondary monitor the main one on a laptop? [00:16] syockit it looks like the hardware raid is still presenting both drives [00:16] hola [00:17] Steve132: arrgh not much time before I go to the lab. what can I do. [00:17] cuerda de jodedores [00:17] syockit to linux [00:17] syockit rather than one [00:17] locate httpd.conf [00:17] opps. [00:17] wrong window [00:17] mmvx: I'm not experienced in hardware/software raid setup. how should a hardware raid look like? only /dev/sda? [00:17] anybody got an idea how i can fix this problem: i just installed a new video card a Geforce 8400GS from Nvidia and i cant play any video format the screen is black i only hear sound tried many formats and every format is same result anyone got an idea? [00:17] mmvx, can't really find anything about it on their website either [00:17] Steve132 I have a feeling your best bet would be to configure software raid [00:18] A hardware raid will just look like an LVM [00:18] mmvx: Well, when I look at it in gparted, it only shows 1 drive [00:18] Aled: there's a seperate server config. else you can use the tasksel command [00:18] Aerora: you need the drivers? [00:18] karmst: which I also have no idea how it looks like [00:18] and actually, writing anything to /dev/sda3 pulls an error message that pulls up the nvidia_mapping anyway [00:18] Aerora: i have the same card [00:18] thiebaude: i installed al Nvidia drivers i got version 185 [00:19] syockit it should only show up as a single drive [00:19] so I think sda and sdb are somehow linked to the hardware raid setup correctly [00:19] Aerora: sudo nvidia-settings? [00:19] well if it's a hardware raid you shouldn't be able to see the members of the raid [00:19] Aerora: to set the resolution [00:19] you should only be able to see the raid [00:19] otherwise it's a software raid [00:19] Steve132: well it does have identical partitioning. did you mount /dev/sda2 to the boot folder in the root directory? [00:19] Steve132 yes but you should only really see one drive in true hardware raid [00:20] does ubuntu/gnome have a clipboard with a history? [00:20] My home directory is encrypted and I do not know the passphrase - I only know my login password. However, when I attempt to recover the passphrase by decrypting my passphrase-wrapper file with login password, it is not working. I am so close to getting this to work just need some final help. Is anyone up to this? [00:20] thiebaude: i got my resolution on 1360 x 768 [00:20] Aerora: is that the resolution you want? [00:20] syockit: yes [00:21] thiebaude: yes thats the resolution i want;) [00:21] I have my Dell PERC 6/i card using raid10 and I only see one LVM on Ubuntu [00:21] anybody? [00:21] Aerora: cool [00:21] /dev/sda2 is mounted on /mnt/root [00:21] Steve grep sda2 [00:21] what is the device desc [00:21] karmst: grep what? [00:22] Steve132: hmmm either /dev/sda1 or /dev/sda2 is the root, and the other one is boot [00:22] thiebaude: but do you know how to fix my problem? [00:22] Steve132 the installer has installed on the raid, but you have the two drives clearly visible in /dev [00:22] dmesg | grep -l [00:22] Aerora: i had to edit my xorg.conf [00:22] and add Device "Default Device" and save [00:22] has anyone ever recovered a passphrase from passphrase-wrapper file? [00:22] leaving seeya [00:23] thiebaude: if you got the same as i do can you send me a copy of yours or tell me how to adjust it? [00:23] syockit: the other one is boot? [00:23] you should be able to pull up a device description [00:23] you have to partition /boot seperately? [00:23] Steve132: umm can't stay long here. anyways if you mounted it in the correct order (mount root first, then mount boot to the boot folder), then try grub-install again, this time with the --modules=raid option [00:23] Aerora: yes, please do send me it [00:23] karmst: dmesg | grep -l sda2 returns an empty line [00:23] syockit, Steve123, what you are asking is that grub fires up a kernel inside a raid partition having booted off the MBR of a single drive..? [00:24] what raid controller do you have Steve? [00:24] I ran the command: /usr/sbin/minidlna -f /etc/minidlna.conf as root but I can't locate the processes in the activity monitor. Can you see root processes there as well? [00:24] karmst my thoughts too.. [00:24] is it somehow possible to boot into a console (=do not start a XServer) using a desktop cd? [00:24] is there a specific room for Wine discussion / help? [00:24] mmvx: yeah, I thought grub didn't allow that. older grub though. dunno about grub2 [00:24] thiebaude: a sec how do i send files with Xchat? [00:25] !pastebin [00:25] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://ubuntu.pastebin.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic [00:25] anyone here that experiences iwlagn kernel panics? related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/276990 wondering if somebody has a workaround not mentioned there. [00:25] pasetbin, aerora [00:25] Sabre-night: I'm 99% certain that Wine has there own irc-channel. My suggestion, google it [00:26] Sabre-night: wiki.winehq.org/IRC [00:26] syockit grub2 is great with multiple drives in software raid, it installs to them all if they are mirrored, grub 1 never used to! [00:26] andyland, it's #winehq, i just remembered [00:26] There are 2 folders named "My movies" and "movies" in /home/user_name directory in 9.10. Why? [00:27] looks like grub legacy and grub2 packages are included .. how to tell the default boot mgr in 5.x? new to debian, couln't find documantation on site [00:27] mmvx: if hardware wouldn't it also be automatic? (albeit transparent) [00:27] syockit yes, exactly [00:27] karmst: This isn't terribly helpful, but its inside this mobo: http://www.zotac.com/httpdocs/brochures/mb/motherboard_brochure_geforce_9300_v3.pdf [00:28] ok [00:28] thiebaude:damn now my mouse is trippy [00:28] syockit, but grub now needs to go on the raid partition, not on /dev/sda or /dev/sdb [00:28] mmvx: ah now i get it [00:29] its an nvidia raid [00:29] syockit grub probably needs a module that lets it see that nvidia raid partition [00:29] Hi Hal [00:29] my flash audio doesnt work in karmic. Help [00:29] mmvx with nvidia onboard raids shouldn't you just create an LVM in Grub and then the OS will just see the virtual single drive? [00:29] i i cant get my laptop to make the secondary monitor become the main monitor [00:30] karmst it looks like the installer and os can see the single raid partition [00:30] thiebaude: im going to restart something snapped in my pc:( [00:30] thiebaude: brb [00:30] Aerora: ok [00:30] k [00:30] karmst but when it comes to grub install it fails [00:30] hi all does anyone now how to fix medusa [00:31] karmst possible missing module? grub2 is quite new.. [00:31] My home directory is encrypted and I do not know the passphrase - I only know my login password. However, when I attempt to recover the passphrase by decrypting my passphrase-wrapper file with login password, it is not working. I am so close to getting this to work just need some final help. Is anyone up to this? [00:31] man...hold on a minute... I've actually ran into this exact same problem before with nvidia raids. I have notes on this on my Heat helpdesk ticket [00:31] mmvx: hmmm what do you suppose the /dev/sda in the command 'grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/yadayada /dev/sda' be replaced with? [00:31] give me a few... [00:31] hi all does anyone now how to fix medusa [00:32] All my files are gone - I have the passphrase-wrapper file, I have my login password. I have everything I need except the knowledge of how to get it to work [00:32] syockit: That should be replaced with the name of the mapped drive, I assume, which on my machine is /dev/mapper/nvidia_egicfjeg [00:32] syockit Steve132 yes [00:32] if I want to add a user so that he can log in to my openssh server, do I need to create a user in the server, and where would I put the user's key? I'm using password less key login [00:32] Yeah, i did that [00:32] why can't i right click on any menus? (say on accessories) [00:33] syockit Steve132 but I think you may need to specify modules [00:33] im trying to mount an iso with the loop device [00:33] but im getting read only errors [00:33] mmvx Steve132 so --modules=raid is not enough? hmm... might have to check the modules list then [00:34] Sabre-night, why would you want to right click on the menu? This is ubuntu, what is the real question, what are you trying to do/accomplish? [00:34] thiebaude: http://pastebin.com/m53e397f1 [00:34] mmcx: yeha, thats what happened, it says two errors: Grub-probe, no mapping exists for nvidia_egicfjeg2 [00:34] ok [00:34] syockit might there be one for that particular type of hardware raid? [00:34] and the other is "auto-detection of a filesystme module failed, specify module with option modules [00:35] should I use "--modules=raid,ext3" [00:35] Steve132 it's looking like you need one that lets grub put the raid together at boot [00:35] ok [00:35] Here it is [00:35] mMezquitale, i have some options from Wine i uninstalled, yet the folder options remain. [00:35] :) [00:35] Steve132 that's a rubbish way of explaining it I know! [00:35] mMezquitale, i was kinda hoping to delete them :| [00:35] no, that makes sense, actually [00:36] Whats wrong with this command iptables --table nat --append POSTROUTING \ --out-interface eth0 --jump MASQUERADE [00:36] so what do I need? [00:36] ok... So how it says to get around this in our ticket system is you have to build the nforce driver from source, as it is not native for raid to the linux kernel [00:36] <-- ubuntu tard... does anybody know where to find a working howto on getting a 5 button mouse configured to work in firefox under Xubuntu? [00:36] Steve132: remove the \ [00:36] Steve132 I think syockit is checking the modules list [00:36] Steve132: oops, wrong person [00:36] shawn_: try removing the \ [00:36] okay [00:36] lstarnes, Ok [00:36] aerora: under section Screen and right under deafultdepth 24, put Device "Default Device" [00:37] aerora: and save it [00:37] shawn_: also, make sure that you are running that with sudo or as root [00:37] Sabre-night, so what you are attempting to do is delete some options in the wine menu, keep asking that question again, if someone knows the answer they will reply, you can also try the forums [00:37] aerora: and sudo nvidia-settings set resolution and then save to X configuration [00:37] I can view all my inputs and outputs in 'alsamixer' command line but I cannot add them to the default sound applet in ubuntu. What is the deal? [00:37] Steve132: among modules that depend on raid module (from /boot/grub/moddep.lst) : dm_nv, mdraid, raid5rec, raid6rec [00:37] dm_nv [00:38] syockit that dm_nv looks promising [00:38] thiebaude: how do i save it? i cant adjust it becouse i dont have root acces [00:38] aerora: what that does everytime you log into x you dont have to set the resoltion [00:38] yes you get that from the source build of the nforce driver [00:38] mmvx: http://www.opensubscriber.com/message/grub-devel@gnu.org/9870513.html seems to suggest so [00:38] ok, so, mmvx: any luck with finding the modules I need....dm_nv [00:38] aerora: im on a ubuntu desktopn, but it should say save [00:39] yeah [00:39] so [00:39] try [00:39] ????????? [00:39] thiebaude: it doesnt [00:39] Ok, so [00:39] Steve132 syockit karmst looks like dm_nv then? As well as raid? [00:39] using --modules=raid [00:39] gives a new name [00:39] syockit: that's the module he needs. It's because the nforce raid isn't a true hardware raid. [00:39] How can I make a /etc/init.d/ startup script from my two files /usr/sbin/minidlna & /etc/minidlna.conf to be ran at boot with apache2 regardless of gnome and/or users? [00:39] Steve132 put quotes around the list [00:40] *err, sorry....gives a new error: "You attempted a cross-disk install, but the filesystem containing /mnt/root/boot/grub does not support UUIDs" [00:40] Steve132 like --modules="raid dm_nv" [00:40] --modules=dm_nv should automatically pull raid in, as it depends on it... but yeah, maybe both [00:40] DubAndy: you could put the commands in /etc/rc.local or check the upstart docs and make a upstart script for them. init.d/stuff is slowly getting phased out. [00:40] !boot | DubAndy [00:40] DubAndy: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [00:41] DubAndy: many of the guides/docs still refer to the old sysv way. but as i said. thats slowly getting removed. [00:41] what does this ubuntu Eucalyptus cluster stuff do? [00:41] syockit Steve132 looks good, now we have a decent error to work with :) [00:41] haha [00:42] If I have my home directory on a separate partition (sdb6)... Can I copy files from main filesystem (sdb2) over to it and then mount sdb6 from Ubuntu Live CD and give myself CHROOT access? I need to decrypt my passphrase-wrapper file after mountain sdb6 from live CD but cannot give myself CHROOT after mountaing sdb6 because there is no /bin/bash [00:42] Dr_Willis: Oh I'm a former debian user... Is /etc/rc.local a faster implementation? [00:42] DubAndy: rc.local is just a simple script that get ran at boot. for down and dirty tasks [00:43] !upstart [00:43] Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [00:43] Yo wats poppin? [00:43] aerora: im not sure where the save is on that because im not on ubuntu, but thats what i had to do, was edit xorg.conf and then save and exit [00:43] I think this error is because it's still a software raid and he will need to have an LVM? [00:44] thiebaude: i dont have the rights and i cant adjust the rights becouse im not the owner [00:44] hey anyone familiar with whipping a iPod nano fresh and still have ti working with iTunes [00:44] ? [00:44] Shwack: you can mount your main system (sdb2), then mount sdb6 to its home folder, then chroot the main system [00:44] aerora: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf is the command [00:44] syockit can you please /msg me with more detailed instructions? You would be saving my life if I can get my encrypted home directory recovered [00:45] it will ask you for your root password [00:45] karmst maybe another module? [00:45] Shwack: umm the problem is I do not know about encrypted directory/partition [00:45] no. I' [00:46] karmst Steve132 this bug report shows several modules being tried: v [00:46] http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?25008 [00:46] thiebaude: done thnx:D but my no video problem is still not fixed:( [00:46] I'm reading the mkfs manual and it says that in order to create a ext3 file system on an nvidia raid it must be an LVM [00:47] aerora: go back ans do sudo nvidia-settings and set your resoltution and then save to X configuration [00:47] and [00:47] karmst I think Steve132 already has most of his install in place [00:47] syockit: if you can explain to me how to mount both /dev/sdb2 and /dev/sdb6 You will be placing me one step closer - I create /mnt and /mnt2 I can succesfully mount one partition, then trying to mount the 2nd says "you must specify filesystem type" I can get either one to mount by itself, mounting teh 2nd is where I run into the problem [00:47] since you already saved your xorg.conf [00:47] mmvx I'm lost then?!? [00:48] thiebaude: i can play any format only problem is i have no video only the sound is playing and i done the nvidia settings thing;) [00:48] Shwack: actually much safer if you specify filesystem type for both [00:48] aerora: i'am not sure what to do [00:48] syockit how do I specify the filesystem type? They should both be ext4 [00:48] aerora: audio and no video = check what video codec the video is using.. or is it all videos? [00:49] Shwack: example, if you mounted /dev/sdb2 on /mnt, then you need to mount /dev/sdb6 on /mnt/home [00:49] So, the final word is "no" ? [00:49] on this? [00:49] Shwack: hmm i need to recall... [00:49] thiebaude: all videos mp4 mpeg avi etc and before i switched video cards i didnt had this problem [00:49] syockit - gotcha on the /mnt/home - makes perfect sense - [00:49] aerora: i dont know, and we do have the same card [00:50] thiebaude: i also tried totem and vlc [00:50] aerora: can you do compiz? [00:50] <_cb> Have dual boot. XP & Ubuntu 9.10 . Want to re-install Ubuntu keep dual boot and keep home folder. How do I do it? [00:50] Steve123: I would recommend changing it to an LVM. That way if you ever wanted to expand the hardware raid you would be able to without having to rebuild the entire array or backup and restore your data. [00:50] thiebaude: yes compiz works perfect [00:50] ok, drivers are installed [00:50] Steve132: what about the one on Comment#3 on that bug report? [00:51] _cb: back up and restore the home folder manually? [00:51] but after that i dont know what to try [00:51] thiebaude: yes i installed al nvidia drivers trough synaptic [00:51] aerora: maybe someone else had more expertise than i do [00:51] Dr_Willis: #!/bin/bash /urs/sbin/minidlna -f /etc/minidlna.conf This will do for a .sh script right? it's till going to be run with root privledges and keep on being an active process? [00:51] <_cb> faileas Any way to tell the new install to use the existing home folder? [00:51] aerora: i let ubuntu find the recomeded driver for me [00:52] _cb: do you have a seperate home partition? [00:52] syockit Steve132 karmst there's a launchpad bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-meta/+bug/436340 [00:52] <_cb> yes. [00:52] else, home folders are by username- just have the same username and it should work, in theory [00:52] aerora: which driver 185? [00:52] thiebaude: yep i got 185 [00:52] ok [00:52] Shwack: an ext4 would have -t ext4 as option. e.g. mount -t ext4 /dev/sdb2 /mnt [00:52] syockit ok [00:52] syockit- unless you know how to unmount - I need to reboot from live CD and remount properly [00:53] ok [00:53] _cb: then just reinstall, don't reformat the home partition, and have the same username [00:53] and backup anyway, in case [00:53] <_cb> On the re-install I saw 3 options. Keep current OS (Which kept current Ubuntu) Manual (Don't know how I keep my XP dual boot) and use all disk which obviously I don't want [00:53] syockit: That workaround basically involves buying and permenantly connecting a USB stick to jumpstart the system... I honestly don't care enough to do that [00:53] aerora: wish i knew [00:53] Shwack: sudo umount [00:54] ah [00:54] Steve132 it looks like 10.04 will have a fix for grub2, and 9.04 works with grub1 [00:54] mmvx: That launchpad bug says "Fix Released" [00:54] thiebaude: hmm thnx anyway ill try the forums;) [00:54] aerora: ok good luck with it [00:54] Yeah, you answered my question...so the answer is "it will be released in 10.04 [00:54] ok [00:54] thiebaude: ty;) [00:54] syockit - wonderful! i dont understand why they didnt make both umount and unmount do the same thing - i was sitting here trying unmount !!! [00:54] how to reactivate ctrl-alt-backspace key-combination?! [00:54] how can i compile the content of a source package without creating a binary package? i'm trying to patch something but i need to try the program before i package it [00:55] thanks a lot guys :) [00:55] I appreciate it [00:55] Steve132 yes, I guess you could install 9.04 and update to 9.10 which would leave grub1 in place.. [00:55] yeah [00:55] Shwack: the reason is kinda historical... and they don't want two commands meaning the same thing [00:55] I figured that [00:55] aerora: np [00:55] !zap | NFischer [00:55] Steve132: or install grub1!! [00:55] my GF who is sitting next to me suggested that about 40 seconds before mmvx did :) [00:56] !dontzap [00:56] To re-enable the Ctrl-Alt-Backspace combination that restarts your X server see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/DontZap [00:56] Steve132: oh wait maybe not on the cd [00:56] hello, which file do I have to modify to login a specific user to gdm automatically upon reboot? [00:56] Steve132: nope [00:56] !dontzap | NFischer [00:56] syockit - i type sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sdb2 /mnt and it doesn't work [00:56] NFischer: please see above [00:56] ok, thanks a ton guys [00:56] I appreciate it [00:56] and all the hard work [00:56] night [00:56] Steve132 good luck [00:56] Steve132: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:56] Shwack: any error messages? [00:57] syockit - I will paste bin entire output, one second [00:57] ubottu : or activate it in keyboard preferences, layours "keys to kill X" or something similar [00:57] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:57] mMezquitale, ?! [00:57] MrKeuner: under the System menu / Administration / Login Screen is a gui for seeting up auto login. [00:57] iflema, I only have ssh access [00:57] syockit http://paste.ubuntu.com/352613/ [00:58] I dual booted my macboook pro and the linux partition shows as "windows"... is there a way to get it to at least display "linux" ? [00:58] (while holding option) [00:58] syockit for some reason it's not showing the /mnt point after /dev/sdb2 [00:58] i swear i typed it though... let me try one more time [00:59] same thing - it dissapears from the input [00:59] i type it [00:59] iflema, thanks though [00:59] <_cb> faileas On the re-install I saw 3 partition options. Keep current OS (kept current Ubuntu) Manual (I know I can keep my NTFS partition but will I still have a dual boot?) and use all disk which obviously I don't want [00:59] ah....ok...It's official... Don't pay attention to anything I say because I've had too many beers tonight =) [01:00] cheers karmst [01:00] cheers [01:00] Shwack what is it? [01:00] Schwack the mount point? [01:00] mmvx yes [01:00] that's really messed up you have to go to grub legacy with intel and nvidia raids [01:00] im trying to input sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sdb2 /mnt [01:01] problems opening packages I have installed. i put google earth on my machine via package manager but can't find or open? [01:01] MrKeuner: check the /etc/gdm/gdm.conf file under the [daemon] section, you can add some line to enable automatic login and set the login [01:01] karmst yeah I think I'd go software raid and be done with it :) [01:01] usrlocalbin, OK thanks [01:01] Have jaunty jackalope installed I think! [01:01] Shwack where is the other drive mounted? [01:01] has anyone actually ever seen a jackalope? [01:02] karmst: In the Sunday funnies, I have [01:02] <_cb> If I uninstall UBUNTU will the partitions still be on disk? (I want to re-install and keep my dual boot) [01:02] Shwack: yup strange indeed. shell received it as if you didn't type the /mnt in the end [01:03] hi all... anyone know of a program to manage multiple pdfs? i have to read a bunch of scientific journals and hate having dozens of windows open [01:03] You're not Jane Seymour from the original battlestar glactica are you? [01:03] Shwack what is the output of df ? [01:03] MrKeuner: check out http://pastebin.org/71920 for some direction... as always also good to google it as well [01:03] chai: linux version of adobe reader supports tabs [01:03] karmst: Nope. That's not her real name, btw. She's actually Polish or something. [01:03] mmvx I am on an Ubuntu live cd trying to mount /dev/sdb2 and /dev/sdb6. sdb2 is my ubuntu filesystem and sdb6 is my /home partition. my /home directory is encrypted and after typing sudo passwd to chnage my password, Ubuntu accepts my login password but no longer decrypts my home folder. changing my password back to the old password via same sudo passwd command hasn't worked. I am trying to decrypt my passphrase-wrapper file [01:04] by mounting sdb2 and sdb6 from ubuntu live CD then decrypting passphrase-wrapper file with ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase /mnt/shwack/.ecryptfs/wrapped-passphrase using my login password. [01:04] ah.... I learn something new everyday [01:04] syockit, perfect, thanks. i've been using Okular [01:04] I am uber confused. Is Ubuntu Studio a whole separate install from ubuntu? [01:04] How do i go about adding a login prompt for my main account when booting up ?(i picked to have no login, and wish to have now ) [01:04] karmst it's cause you forget it before you go to bed :) [01:04] karmst: I had been kinda hopin' we were kissin' cousins, ya know? :) [01:05] haha [01:05] * JSeymour notes it takes a long, long, looooong time to download new kernel releases over a 144kb/s IDSL ckt :/ [01:05] <_cb> How do I un-install ubuntu but keep XP and my home partition? (Ultimate goal is to re-install ubuntu and keep my home partition) [01:05] Does anyone else have problems with their flash player in Firefox not giving the same results as it should be? [01:06] like missing buttons in movies and elements and so forth? [01:06] karmst, YES. you on amd64? [01:06] RubbberDucky: from what i recall its ubuntu + a lot of default media apps. Check the ubuntu-studio homepage - I may be oversimplifying [01:06] yes I am chai [01:06] hi all, just installed 9.10 on an inspiron 1720 and i'm getting the bootsplash but then a blinking brown and black screen. vid card is nvidia geforce 8600m [01:06] _cb: Just re-install and tell the installer to wipe/re-format the Ubuntu partition [01:06] Shwack I see. And you can't mount sdb2? [01:06] Shwack: you're not in a chroot now, right? have you succeeded mounting sdb2 yet? [01:06] How can i a LOGIN to startx / gdm ? when i installed Ubuntu i picked that AUTO LOGIN my account into gdm/x i wish to have a login prompt [01:06] mmvx: http://paste.ubuntu.com/352615/ -- but note that I am on ubuntu live cd trying to mount /dev/sdb2 and /dev/sdb6 [01:06] karmst: actually I'm looking to solve that too [01:07] i tried a live cd of 8.10 and had the same error. [01:07] karmst, i've had quite a bit of the same issues, chrome is a bit more seamless, but not perfect with flash. [01:07] Help!

[01:07] Shwack: without -t you mean? [01:07] RubbberDucky: yes [01:07] syockit - yes without -t [01:07] Dr_Willis, i wish to have it come up and ask me the password for the main account rather than auto logging in .. [01:07] Shwack you've already mounted /dev/sdb6 in /mnt [01:07] <_cb> JSeymour when I do the re-install I have the install side by side option which keeps current Ubuntu Install and the manual install option (I know I could keep my XP partition but would i have the dual boot?)

[01:14] quick question from newbie.....what sofware is something similar with winamp in ubuntu.... and what kind of ftp software do you recommend?

[01:24] hyperstream: shows how much you know ;) [01:24] JSeymour: you can also add a menu item and just use gksudo as the command, nothing more, and you'll get a nice gui asking which app to run with privs [01:24] mmvx thank you so much for showing me that [01:24] Shwack are you sure you don't mean /dev/sdb1? [01:24] mmvx I'm sure i do [01:24] gives me the output: -rwxr-xr-x 1 andy andy 2442292 2009-11-24 19:31 /usr/sbin/minidlna [01:24] Seamus, without the bribe you would have gotten it :) [01:24] ardchoille: Tnx again! :) [01:24] iKernel: you're not going to hold me to that deal right? [01:24] Seamus, paypal account nickmarko2@gmail.com kthx [01:25] Seamus: lol [01:25] Seamus, you bet i am :P [01:25] ... or else what? ;) [01:25] mmvx - I will try mounting sdb1 to /mnt and sdb6 to /mnt/home and hopefully I can decrypt my passphrase-wrapper file. crossing my fingers drinking a beer [01:25] usser, (unmet dependency) libgegl-0.0-dev: Depends: libbabl-0.0-0-dev but it is not going to be installed [01:25] (and when i tried to get the build-dep for libgegl)libbabl-0.0-0-dev: Depends: libbabl-0.0-0 (= 0.0.22-1) but 0.1.0-2009112901~kk is to be installed [01:25] Seamus, gogo pay up :) [01:25] andyland: can you pastebin the actual script for me? [01:25] Shwack I'm not sure that will work... [01:25] i vote scam ban! :P [01:25] ardchoille: Now I'm all set for when I get ready to try this new card with dual heads :) [01:25] Shwack but give it a try by all means! [01:25] hello every one [01:25] JSeymour: Nice! [01:25] bean: Yeah, defenetly [01:25] ardchoille: It'll be nice if it actually works :) [01:25] lol [01:26] syockit, ok it was definitely x86, and they also have a .deb. gonna try to install that. should I use something like 'sudo linux32 dpkg -i adobexxx.deb'? i'm wary of the linux32 command... [01:26] it's not a scam! I just don't know if I should pay someone for an offer made in jest. [01:26] mmvx I'm 48 hours deep into trying to recover my encrypted home directory - at this point I would try wearing a tinfoil hat [01:26] how come # lspci -v has no output? what other related command can I use? [01:26] if being in jest negates the offer or whatever [01:26] angelus, something wrong with your repositories, disable all unofficial repos run sudo apt-get update and try again [01:26] I have installed ubuntu 9.10 64 bit and grub is giving me issues so I cant boot into the install [01:26] I'm using XChat, how can i have the list of channels ? [01:26] ardchoille: I'll run this card (just installed last night) a few days with a single head just to make sure everything's really okay as is. [01:26] I have pasted my boot info script here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1373886 [01:26] Speaking of which: Stress test time! [01:26] mmvx, in fact - I am going to make myself an aluminum foil hat right now and wear it while attempting ot mount both [01:26] could any one please help me get this issue resolved? [01:26] something is wrong here [01:26] hey...I didn't know that.... GKSUDO [01:26] es anyone know a good accounting program for ubuntu? [01:26] it's faster to type it in though [01:27] chai: eh, do you have to do linux32 when installing 32-bit debs? 32-bit flash didn't have it that way [01:27] goto server , list of channels [01:27] Shipmaster, gnucash [01:27] Shipmaster, would be your best bet [01:27] Shwack I wish you the very best of luck, tinfoil hat included! [01:27] adobe must seriously be running off a 2400 baud modem right now [01:27] syockit, no. i'll try without linux32 first and let you know [01:27] usser--it doesn't track inventory though [01:28] mmvx thank you ;) [01:28] thanks though usser [01:28] it's mister stabby [01:28] iKernel: I can't find golubulus anywhere. I think you scammed me! [01:28] karmst adobe is frequently slower than molasses in January [01:28] Seamus, I didn't spell it right [01:28] syockit It's going to be over an hour to download this 3.6mb flashplayer alpha [01:28] Seamus, let me check the correct spelling [01:28] bean: I fixed the script, it was of course a typo :) thanks for helping an idiot. But I can't see the processes running in the System Monitor in gnome? [01:28] Figured this might be the quickest way to get the answer to this. I just tried to install ubuntu 9.10, let the installer reformat my entire drive from ext3 to ext4, completed fine. Went to reboot and now I get a "error: no such device: *insert long hex-looking string here*" message when the grub tries to load. Should I just retry? [01:29] karmst is that a 64 bit player? [01:29] andyland: ttry this on the cli. ps aux | grep minidlna [01:29] karmst: oh dear. what side of the planet are you on? [01:29] everybody say hello [01:29] hello [01:29] yes mmvx....And I'm in the US syockit [01:29] hello [01:29] Seamus, sorry, I meant Globulation 2 [01:30] yellow [01:30] has any one else had trouble with grub throwing an error after installing 9.10? [01:30] are there any alternatives to serpentine? [01:30] 2/1364 not that bad :p [01:30] palomer: What is serpentine? [01:30] a cd burner [01:30] hcker2000, 9.10 updates to grub2. i didn't have errors, but i wouldn't be surprised if there were many [01:31] bean: http://paste.ubuntu.com/352626/ seems like their running don't it [01:31] palomer: I haven't had any problems with brasero, then there's k3b (kde app) [01:31] andyland: yep, running as root [01:31] jukebox-zero so did you install it? [01:31] hcker2000: This is the first time I've ever seen an error this early. Usually it at least gets *somewhere* and I have no idea if that hex string means just my drive got formatted shoddy-like or what... [01:31] i hate my room mate.... every day i come home to find my server unplugged because he thinks it degrades his stupid wifi signal for his ps3.... what a flippin tool.. [01:32] jukebox-zero did you run all the way to the end of the install ok? [01:32] chai, mine starts and then says some thing about not being able to load and then a long serial number [01:32] a headless machine with no lan is a useless machine [01:32] karmst: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/326555 has link to debian's repo [01:32] karmst: which has native 64-bit plugin [01:32] iKernel: ah, that looks nothing like globulation [01:32] syockit, still downloading... but do you know any way to remove the previous reader installation? it installed in /opt, should i just delete its directory? [01:32] bean: nice!, it's suppose to be running on the port 8200 says the .conf file. Is it? [01:32] I think you're mistaken. [01:32] tried to run a windows program in wine and keep getting this error The allocation of the environment handle failed. any ideas? [01:32] chai: check the directory for uninstall script [01:32] przemo_one: did the full live-cd install, even checked md5sums and sha256sums. The error: no such device message is literally the first thing the grub prints on reboot though. [01:33] andyland: you can check that with netstat [01:33] Seamus, oh, give me a look at the game then [01:33] maybe i should install lilo [01:33] it's not me [01:33] I have fiber at 30x30 [01:33] http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10_64bit.html [01:33] andyland: run netstat -lan | grep 8200 [01:33] ditto to mmvx [01:33] iKernel: what???? http://www.ubuntu.com/files/masthead/910/tour/ubuntu-910-games.jpg [01:33] Out_Cold, i hate people like that :P, at work they all run windows for web developement and this adobe software. i plug in and they believe that Ubuntu is better than windows there for get all the bandwidth(which i have nothing using it. perhaps Email check every 10 mins.) when infact they have slow net lol. [01:33] Forgot the & at the end. ;p [01:33] the one with the really tiny screenshot [01:33] Woops wrong channel. [01:33] jukebox-zero no idea. it should install everything and there should be no error [01:34] Seamus, that is either alien arena or nexuiz [01:34] right now i am stuck using this live cd:( [01:34] Bean: port is listening. you are my g*d*amn hero. Now I shall try to hook up the TV. ^^ so long for now [01:34] jukebox-zero is it a single drive? [01:34] hello [01:34] andyland: your're welcome. I'm around quite often if you need help [01:34] iKernel: no no no. The one at the very front of the other windows [01:34] przemo_one: Okay, if no-one's ran into it before I can probably assume gpart just formatted the drive shoddy like. That or I have bigger issues. [01:34] can i play youtube on live cd? [01:35] songer: not without flash [01:35] It looks like a FF7 screenshot [01:35] songer: if you can download gnash or some sort of lash like player [01:35] *flash [01:35] Seamus, oooooh. aw jeez man, you're gonna have to get me a bigger screenshot than that [01:35] iKernel, definatly [01:35] hyperstream, similar issues.... except this moron doesn't get that there are 2 seperate devices running in the router... one for wires and one without... i mean really.. how does a lan connection degrade signal strength???? i could understand if it was torrenting or something... but it just sits there... the only activity is when i back up files from work... [01:35] mmvx I have succesfully mounted boht, gained chroot access, and am now attempting to decrypt my wrapper-passphrase file [01:35] iKernel: yeah I know, that's what pisses me off about this. They dont' tell you what game it is, they just show you a really small screenshot [01:36] syockit, no luck... searched for .sh and .bin files, or anything with un in the name (like uninstall). [01:36] ok [01:36] mmvx - sadly, it is not working. I am trying all possible login passwords that i ever used, and nothing is working. [01:36] I think the only way to know is to install every game in the repo. [01:36] mmvx the good news is, i have more beer? [01:36] i wish ubuntu cds had a blunt edge to which i could beat people with.. [01:36] mmvx: Yes, I disabled my secondary drive via bios because I've accidently delete a partition i didn't mean to while installing before. [01:36] Out_Cold, yeah, get him some stuff to read up on and slap him in the face and tell him to read... [01:36] jukebox-zero running installer from a console should give more output. my only idea is to install it again. i'm using ubuntu 9.10 64bit. ext3 everything is fine. is ext4 now the default fs? [01:36] out-cold, superglue + sledge hammer would work [01:37] hahaha [01:37] Shwack as homer said, beer is the solution to, and cause of, most of life's problems :0 [01:37] hyperstream, i don't think he knows how to read... and if i did... i doubt he'd care... [01:37] przemo_one: Nah, just saw it was an option so I figured I'd give it a whirl, leaving my secondary data drive as ext3 [01:37] * karmst beats Out_Cold with a Juanty Jackalope [01:37] ** s/i/he/ [01:37] Out_Cold, disable the wireless. [01:37] mmvx - i usually don't drink. however, losing my home directory for trying to change my login password = fml [01:37] Out_Cold, change the encryption method [01:37] what is a good tool to admin user accounts in ldap? [01:37] hyperstream, then he'd reset the router and all would be a waste... [01:37] Out_Cold, its only a ps3 lol [01:38] Shwack I think beer is looking like a good option right now! [01:38] chai: gotta love adobe for not giving instruction for uninstallation [01:38] he sits at home all day collecting unemployment and playing vids.. [01:38] jukebox-zero what you can do is google for this error. maybe someone have a solution. [01:38] i hear ... the secrets that you keep... when yo talking in yah sleep :P [01:38] then he complains when his signal cuts out.... i mean the damn wifi is running nearly 18 hours a day..... [01:38] mmvx - yeah... i'm really depressed. i had just spend 2 days tweaking css themes for my i2p router page and had tons of personal pictures I would love to get back [01:39] syockit, lol, yea theres even files for windows and os x in there... [01:39] need to take a core dump brb [01:39] !video [01:39] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [01:39] Shwack you'd think there would be a way. somehow. I mean, changing your password is quite normal and expected behaviour [01:39] Out_Cold, interferance is generally caused by things like Fridge's and stuff, cordless phones [01:39] !videoedit [01:39] !videoediting [01:39] przemo_one: Yeah, like I said, if no-one here has come across it, and given all these users I'm guessing pretty much all archtectures are represented, then it was probably just a shoddy format/install. [01:39] mmvx - that is the thing - I'm on Ubuntu live Cd, I have my filesystems and /home folder mounted [01:39] I have chroot access [01:39] syockit, just tried to install the package and got "package architecture (i386) does not match system (amd64)"... looks like i'll need linux32 after all.. [01:39] hyperstream, of which there is 2 walls, a fridge and a cordless phone between him and his COD4 [01:39] gtg, Ubuntu Lucid wants to reboot for updates. lets hope nothing breaks :P [01:40] mmvx - i have my wrapper-passphrase file, and I have my old login passowrd that should decrypt it and show me my passphrase [01:40] chai: removing acrobat from opt will delete. the only other taint would be the link in /usr/bin [01:40] jukebox-zero I'm with prezmo_one, as you have nothing to lose really. Ext4 is faster than ext3 [01:40] Out_Cold, EWW, cod4 on ps3, now thats mental. Mouse + Keyboard combo = win. [01:40] Out_Cold that sounds like my fiancee.... [01:40] haha [01:40] Out_Cold, back in 2 mins, reboot [01:40] jukebox-zero might be installer error. might be a problem with your configuration [01:40] mmvx - i have everything I need - and for some reason it's not working. I am so frustrated... 48 hours later i'm still not able to get it working [01:40] karmst is a lady?? [01:40] mmvx: was wondering if there would be any difference. Good to know. [01:41] jukebox-zero give a try with old ext3. must work. maybe grub does not support ext4 yet? [01:41] what do I need to do so that the services on my machine are available to the home network when the machine is booted and I am not logged in? [01:41] karmst: yay clicky works on new plugin! [01:41] przemo_one yes it does, ext4 is default in karmic [01:41] quietone, what services? [01:41] przemo_one: If all else fails I'll just reburn the whole cd from iso and try try again. Formatting the whole sda drive anyway so I can't really ruin anything. [01:42] I have the family calendar on my machine (.ics files) [01:42] Shwack I don't know much about encrypted directories sadly [01:42] mmvx - I know nothing - I'm new to Ubuntu. I didn't even know my home directory was encrypted. [01:42] actually... I'm wondering if my swap ended up at the beginning at the drive and if that would make a difference at all... [01:42] syockit, weird... still same error with linux32 [01:42] jukebox-zero check md5 of iso or use build in cd autocheck. there is no need to burn another disc. [01:43] mmvx - I love Ubuntu but this is going to scare me into making a new DVD backup of my home folder every other day [01:43] mmvx i run upgrade from 9.04. next time use ext4 [01:43] mmvx any way to convert from 3 to 4? [01:44] Out_Cold: everything works fine if I am logged in. I think I just need to have the wireless start on boot. But I don't know how to do that. [01:44] How to uninstall a tarball program? #sudo make uninstall ????? [01:44] could any one please help me with grub2. its throwing an error when trying to start my new ubuntu install [01:44] sinsun: if you are lucky that may work. [01:44] says cant load and a long serial number [01:45] sinsun yes [01:45] quietone, you would want to edit your IP table to allow connections from your local network ie: 192.168.x.x and also have the apps loaded into the /etc/init.d or the umm... startup file which i forgot the name of [01:45] przemo_one I was to lazy to figure converting out so I'm just dumping all files on one drive, formatting, moving again, formatting. done. [01:45] Shwack there is a bit about changing your password on the wiki https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EncryptedHomeFolder [01:45] Dr_Willis: thx, really works [01:45] I started a forum thread but am trying to get it fixed tonight [01:45] przemo_one I think there is but it's a PITA [01:45] ubuntu_: Does it say "error: no such device: *long old number*? [01:46] yea [01:46] jukebox-zero ext3 is my / [01:46] Anyone uses Bespin in KDE? [01:46] mmvx what's PITA? [01:46] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1373886 thats the thread i started with some info in it [01:46] ubuntu_ *high five* I got the same problem. Let you know if I find the answer :) [01:46] what is out there in Karmic that looks like GOS ? [01:46] przemo_one Pain In The A*** [01:46] jukebox-zero, did you have ubuntu installed previously on the hard drive? [01:46] Is there a name given to a piece of audio before processing? Like when you record a podcast, before adding intro, outro, and commercials, is there a name or adjective for that? [01:46] quietone, the script is /etc/rc.local [01:46] i found that it would of been too involved, so i backed up all my data, and did a clean install of 9.10 with ext4 :) [01:47] Out_Cold: thats sounds right. So, I'll read up on init.d, that a start. [01:47] przemo_one Yeah, it's a pain. I just dpgk -l and gonna paste the output into apt-get when I get up and running to clone how it used to be. [01:47] quietone, that loads apps before you log in.. so it can run your wifi and your calender prog [01:47] mmvx i could backup all files, then restore and reinstall grub [01:47] <__freak__> Приветствую всех, есть рускоговорящие? [01:47] !rs [01:47] Molimo udjite u #ubuntu-rs za pomoc u vezi sa Ubuntuom na srpskom jeziku. [01:47] Out_Cold: Ah, that sounds right. (I am returning to *nix after hmm 16 years ) [01:47] ubuntu_ Went from 7.10 to 9.10. Reformatted like it was a whole new install though. [01:48] kinda funny how the basics never change [01:48] syockit, well reader works "well enough" from the .bin, and no way to install from .deb on amd64. workin with it [01:48] Out_Cold: Thanks. I'm off to read! [01:48] jukebox-zero, holly crap me too [01:48] chai: no hangs? [01:48] Shwack but I think maybe you could boot into your install as root, then su to yourself, then try the password commands. I'm off , its very late here in the UK! przemo_one it's easier to back up the files and just reinstall ubuntu! Shwack good luck [01:49] Stress-test passed! Yay! \o/ [01:49] ubuntu_ good to know. Means there might be something to this thing. [01:49] jukebox-zero, this is day 3 of trying to fix the stupid thing. thinking of switching distros for this computer as i need to get it up and working [01:49] my stress test was getting me all wound up... i left [01:49] jukebox-zero, right now i am looking into loading lilo and giving the finger to grub [01:49] syockit, upon restart, so far no. maybe it was initial configuration that hanged everything. had to wait a solid 5 minutes where my comp wouldn't do anything when reader first started [01:49] ubuntu_ how many attempts have you made at installing 9.10? [01:50] jukebox-zero, counting the bad cds i burned off i think i am at 8 [01:50] ubuntu_, what types of drives are you trying to format to?? [01:50] syockit, well thanks. i'm off to actually read those journals now :D [01:50] ubuntu_, lvms?? [01:50] jukebox-zero, segate 80 gig ext4 [01:50] ubuntu_ I do know there is a known bug with the 7.10 kernel that ends in 15 and were supposed to boot into the previous version to upgrade dist, but I thought formatting would bypass that... [01:50] Out_Cold, sorry that was for you [01:50] * JSeymour looks at ubuntu_'s thread... [01:50] ubuntu_ berify image or use build in media verification. it might not be a corrupted cd. [01:51] ubuntu_, are you trying to install with the lvms? [01:51] ubuntu_ grate thing is to get cd by torrent [01:51] przemo_one, i checked the cd cd is good [01:51] md5 hash on it [01:51] chai: debian-multimedia repo has deb for amd64. meh, basically the same thing. since you're using it as standalone viewer, and not plugin, probably you don't have to bother about the debs [01:51] Out_Cold, have not checking into lvms [01:52] i had many issues when installing my server 9.10 only because of the lvms.. have you tried a different install disk?/ [01:52] ubuntu_ please again paste that forum topic you started [01:52] ubuntu_, like server or alt disk?

But she also tends to just use vlc [01:59] I don't even know where to start, should I first go to system -> admin -> language support and install my languages? [01:59] if vlc was a woman... i'd be putty in her hands :p [01:59] monroecr: I get those, too. The pulseaudio log entries, that is. I have had my system flat seize-up on me twice, but I dont' think they're related. The pulseaudio events I believe are just a busy system buss. [02:00] !info moovida [02:00] moovida (source: moovida): The Moovida media center application. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.7-1ubuntu1 (karmic), package size 25 kB, installed size 176 kB [02:00] moovida is a similer to xbmc app also. :) not quite as fancy [02:00] jmadero: export XMODIFIERS="@im=ibus" [02:00] export GTK_IM_MODULE="ibus" [02:00] export QT_IM_MODULE="xim" [02:00] ibus-daemon -d -x [02:00] sinsun: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:00] Dr_WIllis: VLC blows for media in 1080p DTS :) Need MPlayer for multi cores and VDPAU [02:01] Maletor: i watch 90% of my videos on my netbook. so it not an issue. [02:01] hey guys, does anyone know of a good online password manager? [02:01] jmadero: put anywhere when you start the X. [02:01] lastpass is supposedly good, alex87 [02:01] JSeymour: thank you very much for your answer, I will ignore that for now, then I need to find out why sometimes my computer freeze maybe VBox last update [02:01] Dr_Willis: I watch 90% of my movies in 1080p 42" or IMAX [02:01] just run those exports and start ibus that way? [02:01] works with chrome & ff [02:01] Aquaraptor, thanks, i'll look into it [02:01] still one wonders why there are so few netbooks with a DVI-output [02:02] monroecr: I just stress-tested my system after installing a new Radeon graphics card and a kernel update. Played music off the DVD/CD drive, ran glxgears, banged the heck out of the disks, did constant read/writes to a thumb drive, and flood-pinged one of my routers. It held up :) [02:02] but I still install languages through system -> admin -> language support right? [02:02] DubAndy: answer = $$$ [02:02] i make a mistake how can i undo a command ln -s? [02:02] DubAndy, because hdmi out is easier and cheaper [02:02] rjb: delete the link thats wrong and redo the command [02:02] I just updated to 9.1 , seem to have gone well, but video playback colour is messed up, anyone had this problem? [02:02] Still most is standard VGA though [02:02] monroecr: I would have expected some dropped audio bits during that, quite honestly ;) [02:03] DubAndy: id like to have one with just svideo out.. but im old skoool withj old tvs [02:03] DubAndy, the last 3 laptops i've had ( in 2 years) have all had vga and hdmi [02:03] Dr_Willis i made a link to /usr/bin/ge /usr/bin/gem1.8 do i need to do something else? [02:03] Alright, with ubuntu nbr, how can I install it? I have a dell mini... and it's too messed up... the hd is full... I did the dd id=whatever.iso of=/dev/sdc bs=1M [02:03] talking bout netbooks dude [02:03] then I tried to boot from usb [02:03] and nothing happened [02:03] Dr_Willis, mine has s-vid too [02:03] oh... yea. ok fair enough [02:04] Dr_Willis: so would I. Something I could hook up to an old beater analog tv from a laptop would be perfect for me. Hard to find nowadays... [02:04] JSeymour: going to strees test now, thank you again for help and suggestions [02:04] JSeymour: Will try to top memory usage to see what happens [02:04] monroecr: Good luck! [02:05] never mind, found the answer [02:05] monroecr: heh. I have 4GB. [02:05] ubuntu_ few things. after booting run gparted, and check does it can read partition table [02:05] I don't have ubuntu, so I can't get the usb-creator thing [02:05] belak: what do you use? [02:05] belak -- unetbootin [02:05] przemo_one, it does [02:05] ubuntu_ did you upgrade from 32 to 32 bit os? [02:05] faileas: gentoo [02:05] JSeymour: quad amd + same memory here, cpu and psyu runs very hot too [02:05] ibuclaw: how? [02:05] oops [02:06] JSeymour: psyu = psu [02:06] jmadero: how? [02:06] belak: iirc you should use an img with the dd, or usb creator method, not the iso [02:06] ubuntu_ can you mount that ext4 partition? [02:06] monroecr: I'm running a server. Has lots of fans :) [02:06] go to their website, really straight forward [02:06] on win7 , in my pavilion notebook if i plug an headphone plug, i don't use the main speakers, how can i have that in ubuntu? [02:06] Dr_Willis my command was sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gem1.8 /usr/bin/ge [02:06] greetings all [02:06] hello i have a problem i have setup my system with an encrypted tmp volume. I am getting a message that some of the mounts listed /tmp can not yet be mounted. Had this problem before and it required a reinstall. This occured after enabling desktop effects with dynamic desktop ( I am using the real time kernel due to a issue with sound) ...anyone able to help? [02:06] Where are the .img's? [02:06] darkham, what is your system? [02:06] monroecr: Tho, some day, I'm going to have to put a temp gauge by the exhaust to see what the exhaust temps are like. [02:06] my guess its a timing issue [02:07] jmadero, karmic koala [02:07] darkham -- I mean brand [02:07] przemo_one, yes and i can see the files and such on it [02:07] jmadero, hp pavilion dv6-1350sl [02:07] Why is it that SD card seem to only mount in read-only mode starting in 9.10? [02:07] ubuntu_ can you paste dmesg somehow? [02:07] cards* [02:07] looking for a program that is opensource/free and uses ambient sounds (with a windows verstion needed....yeah...I know...) [02:08] przemo_one, sure let me run it and pastebin it === ari_stress is now known as satpam_kandang [02:08] argh why are linux icons complicated... [02:08] dragondon, cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp :) [02:08] :P [02:08] przemo_one, are you sure you want dmesg? [02:08] dragondon, but seriously elaborate [02:08] that looks like network stuff [02:09] belak: bleh, it seems they don't support it any more. [02:09] ubuntu_ few last lines :) please use some website to paste [02:09] wtf? [02:09] Sorry [02:09] belak: in which cause unetbootin is what you have to use, i suppose [02:09] ubuntu_ and my previous question. was it upgrade from 32 to 32 distro? [02:09] belak: i'm suprised too. the old method worked really well [02:10] przemo_one, this is a fresh install not an upgrade [02:10] ubuntu_ or from 32 to 64. yes i know, but before was it the same architecture? [02:10] usser need to find a program that uses abmient sounds (either user added or included) and my wacky idea of creating it through Ubuntu and porting it to windows to show off :) Although I don't know squat about programming... [02:11] przemo_one, http://pastebin.org/71932 and it used to be 7.10 32bit [02:11] In KDE for ubuntu, does anyone know of an application that will allow me to see or test my sound levels for input easily? [02:11] ubuntu_ / et al I found a note in the release notes that says switching from ext2/3 to ext 4 will cause the grub to fail to load the kernel... Though they refer to 9.04. Says we need to use the grub-install command. Though it doesn't specify how. [02:11] ubuntu_ and is it now 64 bit? [02:11] dragondon, thats it? [02:12] hi everyone i was wondering if i could find someone to help with with a screen problem on a ps3 install of ubuntu as im losing my mind trying to figure it out [02:12] przemo_one, yea 64 bit now [02:13] dragondon, hang on a sec [02:13] usser yeah, visuals are not critical. Think nice meditating or falling asleep sound-type program. [02:13] jukebox-zero, man this just keeps getting worse it seems [02:13] jukebox-zero, in that they knew about it and didnt fix it. you would think people would like to start there new os after they install it [02:14] ubuntu_ ok few things i have on my mind now. one is to boot into your installed os somehow. i know how, but it might be not the simplast way. run grub-install. second is to remove all partitions form your drive. make it totally clean. then reboot and do install. [02:14] ubuntu_ that sounds like the solution... Now I'm just trying to figure out how to run grub-install with nothing resembling a command line, or any access to the kernel. I'd kill for a MSDOS style boot disk. [02:14] i made a wrong command sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gem1.8 /usr/bin/ge how can i undo? [02:14] What do I type to find all the IPs on my network? [02:15] Anyone else here at all dealt with SD cards being read-only (and not permitting it to be mounted with write permitted)? [02:15] jukebox-zero, why not live cd? [02:15] wtf? this should say that this has more that 3.2 gb on the hard drive... even for a mini, right? [02:15] jukebox-zero do you have system rescue cd? [02:15] przemo_one: Not a working one apparently. You got some linkage to an iso? [02:16] jukebox-zero, i am also trying it from my live cd [02:16] jukebox-zero google. its a distribution for system things. do you have 64 bit ubuntu installed? [02:16] Maletor: If you're talking about IPs of systems on a LAN, use the network analysis tool called "Zenmap" (which is a GUI for nmap); if you're talking about the WAN IP, you can just check your IP address on a typical "What's my IP address?" website [02:16] ubuntu_ nod nod, I'm too lazy to walk to my other box. [02:17] <_diablo> lucid is still alpha-1 right? [02:17] how do I start openbox or any other de from terminal? [02:17] przemo_one. I'm chasing down 10 different google searches regarding this bug at the moment. And no, I'm using the 32bit i386 [02:18] anyone have any experience with live usb's? how would i be able to make it request my login ID and password, instead of automatically boot into root [02:18] lol if your all too busy to help me mind giving me a link that isnt so confusing to fix this screen resolution problem/ [02:18] hi... i am installing 9.10 desktop, wonder if there any way to LVM all my drives into one? [02:18] Takyoji: then what's the command in nmap? [02:19] pavelz: certainly, you need to use the alternate install cd [02:19] prezemo_one regarding your question of converting to ext4: http://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Ext4_Howto#Converting_an_ext3_filesystem_to_ext4 [02:19] i haven't found any people intitalizing their setup with LVM... [02:19] oh deal [02:19] dear [02:19] jtaji: which is? [02:19] !alternate | pavelz [02:19] pavelz: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal [02:19] przemo_one fair warning though, apparently ext4 has known bugs with manipulating large files. [02:20] jtaji: thanks! damn my drives are wiped :) [02:21] ubuntu_ "Right now there's not a stable version of grub that supports booting a kernel from a ext4 partition. It's recommended that you keep /boot in a ext3 partition." [02:21] jukebox-zero get system rescue cd, burn. boot. at lilo type rescuecd root=/dev/sda1 [02:21] ubuntu_ would have been nice to know before hand right? [02:21] if i want to revert to pre-karmic network initialization, should removing network-manager and modifying /etc/network/interfaces do the trick or is there something else i should do as well? [02:21] Hello! How to I jail users in /home/userdir? [02:21] So the answer is ext4 is *useless* :) [02:22] jukebox-zero, thats about the stupidest thing I have heard in so fing long [02:22] ubuntu_ get system rescue cd, burn. boot. at lilo type rescue64 root=/dev/sda1 [02:22] Maletor: I believe it should be as simple as "sudo nmap -sP 192.168.0.0-255" which would scan all IP addresses from 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.0.255 [02:22] i know theres a rootkit on my system, wireshark isnt picking it up...how can i make sure the rootkit isn't hiding itself from the packet sniffer? [02:22] przemo_one thanks, but it seems like it'll just be easier to reformat to ext3. [02:23] jukebox-zero ubuntu_ you'll be able to login to your ubuntu. from there type sudo grub-install /dev/sda [02:23] jukebox-zero, damn i hate to even waste more time trying to install using ext3 but i guess i will. oh hang on a friend installed 9.10 let me ask if he is ext3 or 4 [02:23] jukebox-zero ubuntu_ ok [02:24] how do I find out if my PCI is supported / detected? what command can I use [02:24] Hello! How to I jail users in /home/userdir? [02:24] jukebox-zero, all i get when i try and do the grub-install is Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device.; [02:24] ubuntu_: I'm on 9.10 with /boot on ext4 on lvm, works fine [02:24] przemo_one It sounds worthwhile to try, but I'm a little hungup on the release docs saying there is *no* stable grub that supports booting from an ext4 partition. Makes me think it might still epic fail on me [02:24] cyberjorge: lspci is the command to "LiSt PCI interfaces" [02:24] jukebox-zero, yea my friend is ext4 and its working [02:25] Takyoji: I've tried that but no result [02:26] cyberjorge, sudo lspci [02:26] actually shouldn't matter [02:26] Shouldnt need to sudo lspci [02:26] yeah, just realized that [02:26] cyberjorge, what's the error? [02:26] ubuntu_ well, I'm gonna reinstall in ext3, as I've been researching this, I've come across numerous issues that scare me about ext4. Especially the may not handle manipulation of large files warning. I'm gonna wait till 10.4 to even mess with it. [02:26] if you cant run it via a direct command, try /sbin/lspci [02:26] jmadero: same [02:26] jukebox, I use ext4 and have for a long time [02:26] works great [02:27] I notice a great increase in performance [02:27] I have a question about Broadcom adapters [02:27] jmadero: no error just goes back to prompt [02:27] is Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 02) supported in 9.10? [02:27] jukebox-zero, yea the performance is good i have ext4 on my work computer and its good [02:27] just 9.10 blows [02:27] Yes, BCM4311 is supported if I remember correctly [02:27] yeah but for a lot of cards you'll need the STA driver [02:27] I did all of the sudden, no clue why [02:27] Good, now I can get rid of Sabayon [02:28] rmozden: most broadcom wireless seems to work nowadays [02:28] Just stupidly have to do a couple of tweaks though I believe [02:28] jmadero Good to hear a vote of confidence. :) Still... nothing GNU/Linux ever works for me how it's supposed to right off. Not saying it's bad, obviously I like it. My machines just have bad juju. [02:28] (from what I've experienced) [02:28] anyone know why my wireless card worked in live versions of Ubuntu up to 9.10 and now it doesn't work until I install drivers? === mattgyver[L] is now known as mattgyver [02:29] hi hi? [02:29] jmadero: thought I might need a driver? here's the result of /"etc/modprobe.conf..... http://pastebin.com/d5c957e32 [02:30] Now I have question #2 for all of you server geeks. I have a HP DL385 that I upgraded to twin dual-core opteron he's, 8gig ecc ddr400 and u320 10k rpm scsi drives in either raid 0 or raid 5 ( two sets of drives). Will it work out of the box and how difficult is it to make a custom kernel? [02:30] jmadero *shrug* the 9.10 live cd can't even connect to my LAN. [02:30] Hi, I am trying to use VLC to convert .xm / .it audio modules (mods) to .mp3 format. VLC plays the mods just fine, but when its 'convert/save' option VLC outputs this to me: "Streaming / Transcoding failed: [02:30] It seems your FFMPEG (libavcodec) installation lacks the following encoder: [02:30] MPEG AAC Audio. If you don't know how to fix this, ask for support from your distribution." [02:30] yeah, that's annoying :( I've liked having wireless working from live [02:30] anom01y be careful with flooding, you'll be booted ;) use pastebin [02:31] jmadero, I didnt know there where return characters in that paste [02:31] you should use another program to convert, vlc isn't designed for it [02:31] ok [02:31] trying to remember what I've used [02:31] mencoder ? [02:31] hm..does anyone know what the "--" at the end of the boot parameter list of the desktop cd means? [02:31] yeah no gui though [02:32] thats ok I can ask in #mplayer [02:32] the an pages should help with mencoder [02:32] man* [02:32] jukebox-zero, trying this now http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1337254 [02:32] anom01y you should be able to use audacious [02:32] harvey: I'm assuming it is just cutting off at "--". If you held down the left arrow key, it should reveal the rest of it (just an assumption) [02:33] or xmms even [02:33] ubuntu_ gonna try install without loading into the live CD. Let you know how it works out. [02:33] dragondon, meh started writing a script for it but realized you can just use mplayer on command line with a playlist and shuffle [02:33] jukebox-zero, dont bother it didnt make any difference for me [02:33] I have a question regarding Ubuntu + Drupal. According to this guy, it seems that a mail server is not necessary (http://groups.drupal.org/node/22401#comment-77421). Is this true? [02:33] dragondon, anyhow, if its any use, heres a little script that will keep picking a song from a directory at random and play it until you kill it [02:33] dragondon, http://pastebin.com/f67e8c278 [02:34] jmadero, yeah I would but I can't configure it to detect anything being inputted [02:34] jmadero, hmm one sec I will try again. [02:34] anom01y: mp3 is missing from the general distro for legal reasons. Check out medibuntu.... [02:34] When I set up a new Drupal installation, Drupal alerts me that there is no mail server, therefore it couldn't send a e-mail to the admin user. [02:34] !medibuntu [02:34] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [02:34] anom01y, I sent you a link [02:35] aiwata55: try installing "sendmail", I think that should resolve your issue [02:35] sendmail - eww [02:35] does anyone have any experiece with scrotwm? [02:35] usser thanks, although only been using Ubuntu for about 4 months (somewhat new to me but not new to tech, cut my teeth on a Vic20 :) so we'll see if I can get it working :) [02:35] omg - another dinasaur like me! [02:36] dragondon, just install mplayer-nogui with sudo apt-get install mplayer-nogui [02:36] aiwata55: not necessary for local usage. error will still come out as the password reset mechanism needs a mailing daemon [02:36] dragondon, save the script somewhere ie in a file shuffle.sh [02:36] I can't stand mplayer...:( I wish VLC would be adopted as default player [02:36] Takyoji: hm, no - "--" really seem to be the last two characters of that line - I'm just wondering if I have to put my parameters after, or before that "--" [02:36] yeah, been around, got suckered in the windows-blackhole.....finally got tired of being 'dummed down' to spyware and virus issues. [02:36] dragondon, make it executable chmod +x /path/to/shuffle.sh [02:36] Takyoji, thank you for your advice. I know i can solve my issue once I install a mail server. Actually once I tried Postfix. But my concern is the more services I open, the more vulnerability I put into my server. [02:36] Hello! I'm installing 9.10 server, and the install is stopping at a screen titled "[!] Ubuntu installer main menu" and the option "Install GRUB boot loader on a hard disk" is highlighted... When I select it, it just goes back to the same thing. Last attempt I tried to Continue without boot loader, but then it wouldn't boot. Any ideas? [02:37] ahh [02:37] dragondon, and run it with /path/to/shuffle.sh /directory/with/ambient/sounds [02:37] dragondon: you get a ^5 [02:37] jmadero, i dont like vlc [02:37] adamonline -- use alternative install [02:37] ubuntu_ Lemme know how that link works for you. I'm trying to wrap my head around it. I'm a little dyslexic and having to re-read it over and over to spot what they changed. [02:37] usser -- why not? everyone likes vlc ;) [02:37] mplayer never searches right for me [02:37] ok - time to go burn a lable, back up this laptop and then install on the laptop first [02:38] the fast forward/rewind is weird, and the skin is horrible [02:38] jmadero, mplayer runs on a framebuffer. mplayer runs without a gui. mplayer is not written in QT :) [02:38] jmadero: As in, the different ISO? I can do that. Do you know why I need to do this? [02:38] Thanks for the Broadcom answer folks [02:38] adamonline -- different issues come up with the GUI install....can't say exactly what would cause yours or if this would even fix it but it's the first advice for most people seeing a ahng [02:38] jmadero, yea default skin sucks [02:38] jukebox-zero, restarting now [02:39] ubuntu_ got my fingers crossed for you. ;) [02:39] jmadero: Great, thank you :) [02:39] sure, good luck, the alternative install almost always works [02:39] you can also install via thumb drive [02:39] save some cd's and what not [02:39] syockit: so, on the contrary to the guy's comment I referenced, I need to install a mail server on my Ubuntu LAMP server, no matter what mail server it is. Right? [02:39] and it's a much faster install [02:40] usser "The program 'shuffle' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: [02:40] sudo apt-get install biosquid shuffle: command not found" [02:40] dragondon, cd /directory/where/you/saved/it [02:40] hey im using ubuntu on my macbook pro as primary os, everything is working great although the computer seems to be getting to hot if im doing anything that invovles 3d acceleration [02:40] rmozden A what? [02:40] dragondon, bash ./shuffle.sh /directory/with/music === deadly is now known as Guest55634 [02:40] aiwata55: as I said, it is not needed. Does the error/warning prevent you from continuing? If you don't want to have the drupal mail anything, you don't need a mail server [02:41] how can again make the pageup and pagedown browse previous command in console.. example I type "ls" then press pageup or pagedown will prompt to previously invoke command similar to that ??? === Guest55634 is now known as cako [02:41] how do you developers out there manage shared passwords? [02:41] use keys from the ppa [02:41] syockit: sorry, I didn't understand your advice. Alright, so you mean, it depends on whether I need Drupal to handle e-mails. [02:41] and sign stuff using our keys and shared keys are trusted [02:41] aiwata55: I used to install drupal manually (not by repository). the same email warning comes out but I managed to finish installation anyways [02:41] aiwata55: yes. sorry for not being clear [02:42] video card is nvdia: and the nvdia server settings app is telling me that my core is peeking at 83% for most of the time when tryign tot play a game, although once it hits 90+ my computer fan speed seems to increase dramitically and cool my computer, wondering if theres any fix to this, im assuming ubuntu is trying to save power my keeping my fan speed minial untill needed [02:42] does someone know of an alternative to this software: Automotive Expert® - Auto Repair Estimating Software - Electronic ...

[02:43] ok stupid question time [02:43] no such thing ;) [02:43] how do I install a .so file? [02:43] until you say "stupid questiont ime" [02:44] syockit: thank you for your advice!! [02:44] you do'nt install it, you put it in the directory where it needs to be used, what's the so for [02:44] flashplayer [02:44] yeah put it in your home folder .mozilla/firefox/plugins I believe [02:44] aiwata55: can't help out about mailservers here though, because the installation procedure is lengthy. look up for documentations in help.ubuntu.com, or the wiki, or the forums [02:45] karmst- a .so file is the Linux-equivalent of a Windows DLL file. a library that supports an app. where does the documentation tell you to put it? [02:45] dragondon, heh welcome to the club [02:45] oh you have to put it in your default profiles plugin directory [02:45] .mozilla is hidden --> use cntrl+h to show it in nautilus [02:46] :-D hell [02:46] anybody can tell me if /usr/bin/ge is a valid ubuntu file? [02:46] usser thanks again.....learning is soooo much fun.... [02:46] ah I suppose you're installing that 64-bit plugin manually? いわんこっちゃ [02:46] rjb user binge....hehe..... [02:46] Does anyone have any experience configuring the Logitech G series keyboards' macro keys under Ubuntu? [02:46] syockit, do what I said and it'll work, I have the 64 installed [02:46] did anybody have problem with quanta+ before? while typing it loses focus and the focus goes to the application menu!!!!!!!!!!!!1 [02:47] that's why i gave you the launchpad link that had the debian link to the native 64-bit deb [02:47] rjb - it doesn't appear on my system, but I don't know what you've got installed... [02:47] rjb: run dpkg -S /usr/bin/ge and it will say which package it belongs to.... [02:47] /usr/lib/firefox/plugins? [02:47] Losha thank you genius [02:47] syockit: no worry, i guess. I once installed Postfix via apt-get, and it worked out of the box [02:47] karmst - looks like that might work [02:48] hmmm [02:48] are there any (mechanical, electrical) engineers in here who can answer some non-ubuntu questions? [02:48] permission denied? [02:48] and how can I downgrade my GDM so I can use themes again [02:49] richthegeek: get an /etc/sources.list for an older version, remove and reinstall gdm [02:49] works like a charm [02:49] ah cp command worked with sudo [02:49] joshua__: care to expand on the first section of your solution? [02:49] Does anyone know of a business software that allows you to create organized profiles of customers with information such as name, phone, number, email, money owed, etc? [02:49] Eltume: search for "CRM" in Google? [02:49] dont all commands work with sudo? [02:49] well if you want an older version of something, you need an older source [02:50] you see, the package lookup is controlled by /etc/apt/sources.list [02:50] joshua__: sure, the only available version is 2.2.8 [02:50] hello [02:50] I find a bookkeeping program that tracks inventory?????? [02:50] richthegeek: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-downgrade-gnome-display-manager-2-28-to-2-20-in-ubuntu-9-10-karmic.html Disclaimer: I have not tried this! [02:50] Korean are really bought by M$. They have no Linux users. [02:50] joshua__: would the one from debian work or similar? [02:51] Losha: thanks [02:51] do any of you know of a way to share passwords between a group of developers? [02:51] sinsun -- I have two Korean friends who use Linux ;) [02:51] alex87: email [02:51] anyone have the insydeh20 bios? is there a way to disable drives? i'm not seeing anything [02:51] probably [02:51] any bookkeeping apps for ubuntu???? [02:51] ok [02:51] but unless you want to risk weird trouble you want one for an older ubuntu [02:52] I installed the .so in the firefox plugins directory [02:52] I just installed 9.10 but there is no sound working, it worked flawlessly in 9.04. I removed 9.04 and did a 9.10 clean install. I'd guess it's a pulseaudio problem again [02:52] but it says there is no flashplayer installed in the browser [02:52] alex87: interesting problem. We used to whisper them to each other.... [02:52] karmst, did you restart firefox? [02:52] and you're sure that it's in the default profiles profile? [02:52] sinsun: thanks to majority of them being gamers, and majority of games being windows only. but OFFTOPIC [02:52] JoaoJoao: what kind of computer? [02:52] Losha, haha, just looking for an online password manager that isn't clipperz [02:53] Quick question: just made a USB-Ubunutu9.10 installer, but I'm wondering if it's actually FOR installing, or is it meant to BOOT from the usb every time? [02:53] syockit: truly, [02:53] yes I closed all firefox windows and reopened it [02:53] chanfle - for installing [02:53] wankdanker, This is a notebook with a SiS audio controller [02:53] 02:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01) [02:53] jmad - good, that's what i wanted. [02:53] karmst -- it's in the wrong folder then....what folder did you put it in exactly? [02:53] thats my network adapter thing [02:53] wireless [02:53] i cant find drivers for it [02:53] Cause all of the guides say "now you can boot ubuntu from your usb whenever" etc.. [02:53] /usr/lib/firefox/plugins [02:53] Any CRM software alternatives? [02:53] for use with ndiswrapper [02:54] ls [02:54] chanfle it's a live usb. you can install from it or you can use it as a portable computer [02:54] chanfle: how did you make it? if from live cd image, then yes, you can install from it [02:54] I'm guessing removing pulseaudio and installing oss4 would do the trick [02:54] chanfle -- it's called a live distro, you can run it off of the drive [02:54] i have a computer with 2 80gb hard drives, partitioned hda/b 1 - raid1, 2-boot, 3-swap. i want to upgrade this with two new 1tb drives. what is the best way to go about this? [02:54] JoaoJoao: 9.10 is notorious for this. I had good luck with this: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/fix-for-all-pulseaudio-related-issues.html. Just skip the section that doesn't apply with the alsa gui [02:54] http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/ndiswrapper/index.php?title=Atheros_AR5001X <-- only atheros driver i found [02:54] and its not for me [02:54] karmst -- I'd install it actually in my home folder [02:54] =[ [02:54] Great, thx for the help everybody. [02:54] not in the /usr folder [02:54] it works [02:54] chanfle: i.e. if you made it using unetbootin [02:54] everyone. after installing program (no matter game or application...) after 2-3 boots it's some features getting inaccessible, (when I am trying to use the features...it's aborting... [02:54] Losha, thanks. I hate Pulseaudio :) [02:54] i have an usb stick, dial up connection, and i`d like to share it through wifi, how can i do it ??? [02:54] i can boot in now [02:55] JoaoJoao: you, me, and everyone else. I'm betting by now the author does too... [02:55] JoaoJoao: i had this issue on my hp laptop, intel audio, i got working via https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting [02:55] Losha, Is installing OSS4 a good idea? [02:55] ok well in /home/user/.mozilla/firefox I have only a off2mdwe.default folder [02:55] yeah go in there [02:55] any crm software for ubuntu? [02:55] it's your default profile if theres only the one [02:55] Eltume: better off looking for online ones [02:55] i am trying to istall g15tools so i can use macro keys, but i get a lot of errors... can someone help? The only error I can get right now is this one when i try to install g15daemon: [02:56] what put it in extensions? [02:56] what's a popular online one? [02:56] Crap.. didnt copy. :( [02:56] Quasar1048: I use Compiz keycodes for my macro keys [02:56] JoaoJoao: had to add a options snd-hda-intel model=5stack line to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf [02:56] I should use [02:56] JoaoJoao: if you haven't tried something of this nature, it might be worth a shot. === zz_b0w is now known as b0w [02:56] Ah now I remember having to do that in this same notebook [02:56] Eltume: I don't know, I don't use CRM - just I know its a pretty well covered app online... google it [02:56] This is the error: E: g15daemon: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 [02:56] Dammit me and my faulty mind [02:57] JoaoJoao: sorry, dunno. Sound is really hardware dependent so it's hard to advise. And there are a million web sites on different things to try to get sound working..... [02:57] I've had so many similar ones. :( [02:57] richthegeek: Oh? I never thought of that... [02:57] hmm [02:57] * Quasar1048 goes to look in compiz [02:57] karmst [02:57] karmst: i think you're better off putting it in ~/.mozilla/plugins . create the directory if it doesn't exist [02:57] ah ok [02:57] give me just aminute, I'll see where mine is [02:58] Losha, Now that wankdanker mentions the alsa-base.conf thing I remember I've seen this before. Thanks anyway [02:58] JoaoJoao: free advice. It's worth every penny.... [02:58] ;) [02:58] hey [02:59] thanks jmadero that worked [02:59] =) [02:59] good stuff [02:59] you should have your home on a separate partition [02:59] that way whenever you reinstall or upgrade you'll have flash out of box working [02:59] richthegeek: naw, that doesnt do what i want [02:59] plus you'll have all your configurations up [02:59] (firefox bookmarks, etc....) [03:00] firefox bookmarks can also be easily saved with xmarks addon [03:00] it's still kind of messed up flash movies though [03:00] that's how i go from linux to windows to linux and have same bookmarks in firefox [03:00] not all elements in the movies are showing [03:01] syockit: that 64bit alpha flash plugin didn't fix the missing elements issue [03:02] karmst: missing elements? what page is this? === john is now known as Guest99367 [03:02] http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/haloreach/video/6242903/halo-reach-premiere-trailer [03:03] it doesn't show the birthday options to enter into the movie site [03:03] karmst: ah I cannot enter my birthdate! [03:03] yep [03:03] me neither [03:03] and on other flash movies there is things missing I've noticed [03:03] How mature is lucid? [03:03] or buttons that don't work [03:04] Or perhaps should I ask, how stable is it [03:04] hi! i need help about energy saving functions! (turn off lcd ...) anybody? [03:04] ubuntu_ oh man, that's frustrating.... I was doing the command line from the grub menu, and the line linux /linuz root=/dev/sda1 ro didn't work so shutdown to reboot into the live cd... and suddenly it works. ARG. That's more infuriating than it not working. Now I don't know what fixed it. [03:04] BitBucket, is good for me .. #ubuntu+1 [03:05] burzki: so it will work reasonable for my machine then ok [03:05] Just wanted to know if it installs etc... [03:05] having unexpected stability problem in hardy, details here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/352662/ PLZ help :-$:-( [03:06] BitBucket: proberly depends on the phase of the moon. [03:06] works good if you dont rely on it for your primary machine .. [03:06] BitBucket, ^^ [03:07] BitBucket, Dr_Willis and its mercury retrograde now, i'd wait a couple weeks ;-) [03:07] Should be ok :D [03:07] Xfact: how did you install VLC? [03:07] BitBucket, "should" be .. [03:08] bitbucket: simply via synaptic... [03:08] sudo apt-get install vlc [03:09] Xfact you didnt mess with any of the dependancies did you? [03:09] people actually use synaptic? [03:09] did VLC get upgraded? [03:09] this is news to me [03:09] Did you try removing the .vlc folder or such [03:09] BitBucket: lets just say that after betatesting the last release early on.. there fcan be some Amazing problems that pop up [03:09] Dr_Willis: well sounds like its good enough to give a shot. [03:09] This is what it says when I try to install g15daemon: http://pastie.org/769782 [03:10] bitbucket: no I just added apt line from the VLC ppa from launchpad, but I installed the latest hardy supported version of VLC..... [03:10] ppa [03:10] so its development [03:10] is it wrong> [03:10] ok be back in a few [03:10] Xfact: did you try the stable release of VLC [03:11] Xfact: no but if you install the development version you should expect some issues [03:11] BitBucket, it is, go for it. i've been running the alpha for a month - only one crash, which resolved itself. dont use update mngr to update, use aptitude [03:11] I didn't see a major change in 10.04 alpha [03:12] bitbucket: no I installed the stable version (.9.9) from launch pad, (because my hardy distro's vlc version is to old .8.6.....) [03:12] burzki: I dont know how to use that gui thing... I can use apt [03:13] Xfact: it maybe that the distro is too old for the launchpad install [03:13] bitbucket: vlc was just an example, it's also happening with some games and apps in my hardy.... :( is that VIRUS? [03:13] consider upgrading ubuntu if you want to stay that bleeding edge... [03:13] hardy is older is it not? [03:13] My keypad won't work. I have Num Lock on but it does weird stuff when i use the keypad, like moving the mouse etc [03:13] Xfact: I really doubt its a virus [03:13] Xfact: sure, it's a virus. [03:13] DaZ_: its a valid question [03:14] drink much of hot tea with lemon and it'll pass. [03:14] BitBucket: launch pad still distributing software's for hardy... [03:14] Xfact, wait for lucid in april to upgrade, you should be able to do dirict as both are LTS [03:15] DaZ_: but many people told me (e,g Dr_Willies) that virus in Ubuntu???!!! ...unacceptable...! [03:15] Xfact: dont mind DaZ_ he's just being un-helpfull, he doesnt understand what its like to be a user [03:15] Hello, can anyone tell me if there is a simple solution to the logon loop issue? [03:15] Xfact: they are filling you with FUD [03:15] Xfact: any console output? [; [03:15] bitucket: thank god, ok thanks...I'll wait for lucid [03:15] BitBucket, maybe you know, but just to be safe .. sudo apt-get update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade -- will leave back package conflicts [03:15] the last virtualbox update seems to have broken my config. It keeps telling me to run /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup however that file is not found, any ideas? [03:16] No console output, it's blank! :-( [03:16] Xfact: we don't have viruses destroying system yet. [03:16] DaZ_: sometimes, when my computer restarts abruptly! [03:16] Xfact: the biggest danger to your system will be the admin doing somtning stupid - most likely :) [03:16] ok ok thanks for help guys :0 [03:16] Xfact: you might have hardware issues [03:16] Xfact: 8.04 is well used and maintained by now, so I think it's unlikely to be a software issue. Run a memtest overnight on your ram.... [03:17] listing all the causes for problems in Ubuntu from the top 10.. 'virus' wouldent even be in the top 50.... [03:17] Xfact: if your machine is just 'rebooting' your probably have bad ram or a bad video card or a bad power supply [03:17] losha: here I have a question... how to run 'memtest' nobody told me... :( [03:17] * BitBucket loves his Lenovo T500 [03:18] Xfact: its got a menu entry in the grub menu when you boot.. i recall telling you that the other day. :) [03:18] Xfact: what Dr_Willis said.... [03:18] at leat normally theres a entry in the grub menu... [03:18] viruses removed it. [03:19] BitBucket: well my PC's hardware is not too old and it's happening recently...even when my pc is idle for hours! [03:19] DaZ_: please do not tease the newbies [03:19] DaZ_: your such a linux guru I so want to be like you! [03:19] Losha: what else can i do, all he said was more or less "it doesn't work" [03:19] Xfact: typically software or OS problems are reproducable [03:19] but the main problem is I have an assembled desktop computer so I really can't believe on it :( [03:20] memtest is there in 8.04 [03:20] DaZ_ look if you don't shut up I'll give you a virus [03:20] * Dr_Willis sneezes [03:20] Xfact: well work with what you have, run memtest [03:20] joshua___: i love you anyway. [03:20] next things to check are power supply and then video card [03:20] DaZ_: you don't know the half of it. I was once berated on this channel for giving (correct) advice and told I wasn't fit to help people.... [03:21] im using the diff command to compare two TB storage areas, its been running about 9 hours, is there any way to check the progress? [03:21] lol@ joshua [03:21] bitbucket, Losha, Dr_Willis.: All thanks :D [03:21] xim why would you do that? [03:21] np [03:21] I like winMerge for windows [03:22] I dont know if there is something like that for Ubuntu, diff is ok but.. can be annoying [03:22] winMerge is more visual [03:22] BitBucket, to be sure all the files copied properly from my external before i format it [03:22] its not annoying, except that i have no gauge of progress === ubuntu_ is now known as technokrat3 [03:22] <_cb> Have dual boot XP & Ubuntu 9.10. Want to do a fresh install of Ubuntu but keep my dual boot. Confused by installation options. Install side by side which keeps XP & current Ubuntu or Manual (How do I keep my XP dual boot if I go manual?) [03:23] xim_: not really. You can run top and make sure it's still running but that's about it.... [03:23] _cb: take care to not delete/format the windows partition. :) thats how basically [03:23] Can anyone tell me if there has been a simple resolution to the logon loop issue? I have tried etc/X11/conf but my xorg is blank. I am running mini itx thru KVM switch and I'm pretty sure that is creating some issue. [03:23] _cb: provided you dont delete your windows parittion completly the grub installer should pick it up and give you the menu option [03:23] _cb: give the linux partitions mountpoints for / and /home and so on. the installer will ask to reformat them ifyou want. [03:24] Losha, ok, i can see the file IOs still going like crazy and hear the drive, i just want to know if its gonna be 20 minutes or 3 hours more [03:24] Is there any easy way to reset a user's password on an ubuntu box? [03:24] nunyab_: sorry never seen it [03:24] I have a very quick question for anyone who knows anything about bash scripting, how does one define a varible during the time of exicution. For example: sh ./myscript.sh VARIBLE! VARIBLE2 [03:24] but ok [03:24] without booting to removable media and editing shadow? [03:24] MrPockets: passwd? [03:24] Thank you Bitbucket [03:24] DaZ_, I forgot the password for this frigg'en VM by the time the thing was done installing :-\ [03:24] xim_: sorry, dunno of any way to tell that. I agree it's a design flaw.... [03:24] Hi ..how to add user with other dir than home ? [03:24] <_cb> Thanks Dr_Willis and BitBucket. Did not know installer was smart enough to create the XP menu option if I left the ntfs partition untouched. [03:24] and because it's in a VM, i'm having issues getting it into single user mode (not sure if that'll even help) [03:25] adduser -c 'FTP USER test' -m test -d /var/www/html/user/test ? [03:25] Cool_Cat: check the advanced bash scripting guide - it has chapters on 'arguments' [03:25] d35iboy: man adduser [03:25] MrPockets: check this http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword [03:25] will man give maual ? [03:25] Thanks Dr_Willis [03:25] Cool_Cat: i cant rember the exact syntax but its somthing like $1 $2 and $3 become the valiues [03:25] _cb, in manual, you should be able to install right over your old ubuntu and leave the ms as is [03:25] d35iboy: yes [03:25] ok [03:26] BitBucket: thanks [03:26] Cool_Cat: watch out for spacwes in arguments [03:26] I remeber doing some bat files in MS using that [03:26] I have seen the logon on loop issue listed in forums but none of those solutions work at all for me. [03:26] how to qit from manual ? [03:26] lol [03:26] i actually JUST figured that out [03:27] although the HDD is in read-only, so i can't passwd or edit shadow [03:27] How to quit from manual ? [03:27] d35iboy: just type q [03:27] Losha: thanks [03:27] to change hdd rw, mount / -o remount,rw [03:27] MrPockets: mount -o remount,rw / ? [03:27] goddit [03:27] thanks [03:27] just rebooted === ez is now known as Guest50906 [03:28] Which versions're you all using? [03:28] Can someone help me figure out why this happens?: http://pastie.org/769782 [03:29] quick question is there some notification thing in gnome that causes every IM client i use to put an annoying popup in my top right on every msg?? it's bugging me to death [03:29] militant: libnotify [03:29] militant: yes there is.. :) [03:30] how can i get rid of this before i punch my screen? it's constantly in the way when i'm reading pages and things [03:30] I think it can be turned off per client [03:30] militant: umm there is a way I just cant rmeember [03:30] militant: you can configure/disable them if you're using pidgin in Tools/Plugins/libnotify [03:30] I am glad I am not the only one getting frustrated, misery loves company [03:30] militant: not sure how with other clients, although I'm sure it is similiar [03:31] militant: what if your computer got mad at you, and punched your screen [03:31] wow ok that's fixed then. i don't mind it from xchat kuz it's so infrequent but the rest is CRAP. thanks :) [03:31] I use chatzilla [03:31] I like it :D [03:32] i don't use firefox [03:32] or i might check it out [03:32] is this latest ubuntu? http://releases.ubuntu.com/karmic/ubuntu-9.10-alternate-i386.iso [03:32] militant: you can get the standalone version [03:32] Jonhnnyboy: yes [03:32] Jonhnnyboy: thats the 32bit alternatibve installer cd. yes [03:32] Jonhnnyboy: latest stable [03:32] ok ty [03:33] i want encrypt file system [03:33] have karmic koala using rhythmbox getting error trying to play mp3 missing plugins [03:33] 32bit alternatibve installer? [03:33] ugh. [03:33] is there any way to look up the current running window manager for your user? it seems like that would be possible since the window manager deals with input redirection (and only one x client can "hook" that) [03:33] xchat's what i've used since slack 7.1 so i'm good. [03:33] Jonhnnyboy low ram installer method, not a live cd [03:34] tawd: i want encrypt file system... 32bit alternate installer?? [03:34] yes? [03:35] How can I remove grub and install lilo ?

[03:36] I like lilo than grub :D [03:36] d35iboy: why? [03:36] grub messed up my windows boot.ini [03:37] When I start Rosegarden, (A KDE app) I get the same error as this guy on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rosegarden/+bug/379249 . I can run as gksu, but I don't really want to do that. Any ideas? [03:37] d35iboy: no, boot.ini is a peice of junk and hardcodes the parittion location, grub doesnt have access to mess up your boot.ini [03:37] hello, i seem to be having a problem accessing my NAS. I can ssh into it, but I'd like to be able to have a mounted network share on my desktop, can anyone help with this [03:37] but windows doent even show up in boot screen ? [03:38] what did you do? [03:38] Normally I'd just write lilo on top of grub but apt-get upgrade doesn't like that [03:38] Joeseph: sudo chown `whoami` -R ~/.kde [03:38] d35iboy: use an win install cd in recovery mode and run fixboot X: [X=drivename] [03:39] ok I have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed and medibuntu repository checked [03:39] ah I'll just go watch Macgyver [03:39] balazs08: I will try it [03:39] DaZ_: So for some reason I don't own my .kde folder... alright. is the -R just recursive? [03:39] how can i know if my cpu fan supports different speeds? [03:39] where can i getr an older release of ubuntu? [03:39] d35iboy: will works :) did it some hours before. [03:40] Joeseph: if you run something using sudo it may change ownerships [03:40] and R means recursive [; [03:40] also guys I have messed up with encryption keys :( in ubuntu..I had encrypted a folder in ubuntu 8.10..for some reason I installed 9.10 ( instead of upgrading) and those files wont open here [03:40] FlightB, http://releases.ubuntu.com/ [03:41] Hey... With the new updates for the kernel the Nvidia 190 driver works perfectly [03:41] nick penguins [03:41] ;) [03:41] DaZ_: Thanks. Seemed to work. [03:41] i'm looking at a laptop with SiS graphics. whats a good test to see if ubuntu runs well on it? [03:41] NICK penguin [03:41] great job Karmic team [03:41] ;) [03:41] anybody about power-saving?!?! how should i set turn off lcd when i close the lid? [03:41] karmst: 195 works perfectly too. [03:42] is 195 beta? === d35iboy is now known as penguin [03:42] it is === penguin is now known as lin00b [03:42] ah I'll wait for it to go gold [03:43] m3ga: boot the live cd on it. Or much easier, google the model and see if people say it runs ubuntu well.... [03:43] how can I open a folder which was encrypted on an other ubuntu system ? [03:43] Hi, whenever I start gnome, my sound volume gets reset to zero - but not only that, also are the volume settings I did for the single channels in alsamixer discardet - what can I do abou that? === max is now known as Guest64362 [03:44] which one is the right place to install programs manually? [03:44] yo [03:44] well I have this Sams ubuntu 2010 unleashed book so I'm going to go to bed and read a little night everyone [03:45] rjb: /opt/program_name [03:45] wats up everyone [03:45] ~/program files if you don't want do be root for that ;-P [03:46] harvey why do i need privileges to copy to /opt? [03:46] So i'm running Ubuntu, with Ubuntu in a VM, [03:46] using virtualbox, right [03:47] Losha: thanks, but anything I should try from the live cd to test 3D performance? [03:47] and? [03:47] trying to get the virtual machine, to use an IP on the "real" production network [03:47] currently, it's set up as "nat" which is working, but I can't get to the VM at all [03:48] Losha: thanks, but anything I should try from the live cd to test 3D performance? [03:48] rjb: because it is not your home directory? ;) if you want to install some 3rd party software system wide /opt/ is the right place. Otherwise ~/ as banished suggested [03:48] Your GStreamer installation is missing a plug-in. [03:48] thank you for answer i'll follow your advice [03:49] MrPockets what VM software ur using and wat VM OS u installed [03:49] ? [03:49] m3ga: sorry, I'm not the right person to advise you. I dunno anything about 3d except the movie avatar.... [03:50] m3ga: glxgears or glxinfo? [03:50] j-3-r-g_, Virtualbox [03:50] ubuntu in ubuntu 9.10 both [03:50] MrPockets: usually I used bridged mode and give it a unique address on the same network as the host.... [03:50] MrPockets, you need to have bridged network [03:50] i know about glcinfo, but don't know what to look fo in its output. i'll try glvgears [03:50] glxinfo |grep -i direct [03:50] ah. Because it's bridging the virtual adapter to my "real" nic? [03:51] yup [03:51] m3ga: 'direct rendering' is 3d support [03:51] MrPockets, yep [03:51] yeah, that totally makes sense [03:51] and also u shud check which card u will use [03:51] Hammerjak: thanks [03:51] np [03:51] I think Virtual Box defaults it to your LAN [03:51] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1374520 [03:52] if you want it to go to your wireless then you'll have to adjust that in the preferences [03:53] Syndri: no commercials please... [03:53] hey anyone by chance has a capture file form a wifi handshake [03:53] with the correct password ....I want to test a rainbow table that I have [03:54] preferable form a linksys router [03:54] Does anyone here have a lamp server running on their personal network? Other than blogging, what do you use it for? I want to try it out but can't think of what to put in the database. [03:55] question. has anyone gotten ubuntu installed on an abit ip-35e motherboard? [03:55] where to get resources to be certificated in linux (lspi) [03:57] rexhba: If i'm not correct you can check out red hats home page i think they offer test you can take to be certified in RHLE [03:57] i agree with j-3-r-g_, you can get certified for specific linux distros, but not linux in general [03:57] I stumble upon it one day however ...that was by chance [03:57] rexha: Could have something useful: http://www.lpi.org/eng/training__1/study_materials [03:58] unless someone proves me wrong of course :) [03:58] Hammerjak: Check out the link for your proof :) [03:58] proven wrong so quickly! [03:58] powertool08 thank you [03:58] lol [03:59] damn [03:59] me too [03:59] I was thinking it was distro specific [03:59] hi, how can i run programs from within a restricted bash shell? [04:00] what do you mean snap? [04:00] ./xxxxx to execute [04:00] powertool08: i have a personal wiki. I also used to use it as a media server with a web front end at one point [04:01] when in the -rbash shell, you can't specify '/' in command names [04:01] snap why your not on your own box [04:01] faileas: Media server? So you could sort/categorize/search your media through a webpage? [04:01] snap-: even when you put the '.' before the '/' ? [04:01] yeah [04:02] anyone know of a good ip subnet calculator (pref gui) for linux? [04:02] faileas: What kind of info do you put on your wiki? [04:03] there are tricks for using vi or sendmail to break out of restricted shells [04:03] but i don't know how to even run them [04:03] without being able to use the / [04:04] greezmunkey - 192.168.1.0, 10.0.0.0 and there is another thats less known that default on XP [04:04] if im not mistaken [04:04] like what Ricky Bobby said: "Learn to work the google machine" [04:05] lol [04:05] oh yea and those are for ipv4 [04:05] j-3-r-g_: I sasid subnet Calculator, I can do it on paper but it is tedious... [04:06] what linux kernel is used in 8.04.3, please? [04:06] oh my bad [04:06] j-3-r-g_np :) [04:06] how can i start a shell, other than running /bin/sh? [04:06] anyone has a linux wifi capture file from a 4 way handshake [04:07] iflema: get your wireless working? [04:07] not linux i meant linksys [04:07] snap-: why? [04:07] trying to start an unrestricted shell from rbash [04:08] Lady_Enigma: google "default kernel header for Ubuntu 8.04" [04:08] its not wireless [04:08] hello room [04:08] hope that helps [04:09] thank you! [04:09] np [04:09] snap-: why do you want to do this? [04:10] would there be anyone here that has experience setting up sogo open source groupware? [04:10] ms308680: it's best to just ask your question [04:10] jrib: who likes being restricted? [04:10] =p [04:11] Is there any detailed documentation that anyone knows of for setting up sogo? [04:11] snap-: I just don't see a use-case, if you don't want to be in rbash, don't run rbash [04:11] snap - do you have physical access to the box? [04:11] no physical access [04:11] ssh [04:11] being in rbash wasn't my decision [04:11] snap-: then speak to the person whose decision it was [04:11] not possible [04:12] rbash isn't all that restricting anyway last time I checked [04:12] Hello! I'm installing 9.10 server, and the install is stopping at a screen titled "[!] Ubuntu installer main menu" and the option "Install GRUB boot loader on a hard disk" is highlighted... When I select it, it just goes back to the same thing. Last attempt I tried to Continue without boot loader, but then it wouldn't boot. I've tried both amd64 AND the alternate 64 bit... Any ideas? [04:13] okay [04:13] wtf [04:13] man [04:13] MAN! [04:13] MrPockets: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:13] MrPockets: stop please [04:13] /etc/motd keeps revertin [04:13] if i run live cd on my laptop will that let me know if all the drivers are avalible ? [04:13] edited /etc/default/rcS and added EDITMOTD=no [04:14] at least im not braodcasting status messages [04:14] nonexks: what do you mean? [04:15] so, back to my question. does anyone know of ways to spawn a new shell other than running /bin/sh [04:15] snap: /bin/bash? :P [04:15] hi! i need help about energy saving! (turn off lcd, when i close the lid) [ubuntu 9.10] [04:15] Hammerjak: well i have a ton of drivers needed to run all the hardware on this laptop and i dont know if linux will work on it [04:15] brummbaer: well it would have to be "bash" [04:16] man this is so annoying! I have tried more than 10 of my DVD movies even after installing ubuntu restricted extras and ogle player and I always get an error about libdvdcss and the ogle player is suppose to have that. none of my dvd players can play a dvd. what is the point of creating dvd player software that cant play a dvd? [04:16] nonexks: ah, yeah, if the live cd works fine, the install will use the same drivers [04:16] snap-: If you aren't locked out, maybe you could set a cronjob? [04:16] !dvd | lakota [04:16] lakota: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [04:16] lakota: dvdcss is not the same as ogle [04:16] Hammerjak: so how would i make a list of everthing i will need ? [04:17] nonexks: whatever drivers the live cd decides to use should be the same that the installed version will use [04:17] balazs00: check power management section, option to set what happens when closing screen [04:17] you won't have to choose anything [04:17] but why cant a DVD player software play a dvd? [04:17] balazs00: for in depth power saving config, check the cpu-freq gnome-applet, and the app called powertop [04:18] hi [04:18] lakota: it can. However, your dvd's are encumbered with drm. To view them you have to install dvdcss. Just follow ubottu's link [04:18] lakota: "Legal Warning: Check with your local laws to make sure usage of libdvdcss2 would be legal in your area. " [04:18] snap-: Symlink/alias bash to rbash and start rbash? [04:18] so a nother question ... i have used ubuntu but its not quite as graphicly pleasing ... what could i use to change this [04:19] k [04:19] nonexks: you can use a less graphically-intensive window manager like xfce === b0w is now known as zz_b0w [04:19] nonexks: that is, instal Xubuntu rather than plain Ubuntu [04:19] or did i misinterpret that... do you want *more* pleasing graphics? [04:19] nonexks: more eyecandy > compiz, less eyecandy > XFCE / Openbox, etc. [04:20] compiz [04:20] nice [04:20] i want more [04:20] ah, yeah, compiz [04:20] very powerfull pc's ... one media box and one is media/ work [04:20] do you have ubuntu already installed? [04:20] !who | Hammerjak [04:20] Hammerjak: 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 :) [04:21] is it possible to configure amarok to intercept key presses before X? i want to have a single key that opens amarok if amarok is closed but plays/pauses if it is open. i configured ubuntu to open amarok with that key and configured amarok to use that key for play/pause but amarok doesn't take it [04:21] i have ubuntu on a few systems but the os of the two im going to change are vista and xp 64bit [04:21] so i guess its because gdm or X or whoever is intercepting it befire it gets to amarok [04:21] Hilikus: That's because amarok is for KDE/Kubuntu [04:21] I have a question kind of off topic but I think it's relatively simple. I have a Vizio. What's the best way to manage the audio? I want to have my HTPC plug in via HDMI then have the TV output optical to my receiver? Can TVs do that? [04:21] Flare-Laptop: so? [04:21] nonexks: once ubuntu is installed, go to System -> Preferences -> Appearance, then 'Visual Effects' tab and choose "extra" [04:21] nonexks: that will enable compiz [04:22] Maletor: most do [04:22] oh nice ... will that work on live cd [04:22] Flare-Laptop: It does not matter if it's for KDE. An application is an application. [04:22] no sound on new laptop, plz help plz. audio hardware is recognized [04:22] hikenboot: so it won't work. Its using a different interface with X [04:22] IBM T60 [04:22] quintin_: I've got the same laptop, and audio works fine with it. [04:22] Flare-Laptop: it does work if i dont use it as a shortcut in the system [04:23] kinja-sheep: if amarok has a cli client comparable to rhythmbox-client, you should be able to pair keys to commands with xbindkeys [04:23] nonexks: that depends on what video driver the live cd chooses, typically you have to install Ubuntu and on the first boot it will ask if you want to use a "restricted" driver [04:23] is there an application similar to Quickbooks on linux? [04:23] nonexks: the restricted driver will support 3d rendering [04:23] brummbaer: me? [04:23] hi all, i've got an external drive connected and mounted, but i don't have the rights to write, or execute, only read, how do i change this? the format is NTFS [04:23] Hilikus: bwuh? [04:23] so when asked i DO want restricted driver for good graphics [04:23] nonexks: yep :) [04:24] Flare-Laptop: what version are you running? I am using whatever latest is. no audio output [04:24] JunTao1: Yup, its called gnucash [04:24] Anyone here knows how to bring up a netrek server? [04:24] quintin_: I'm using Karmic [04:24] JunTao1: google linux accounting software? there are many double entry bookkeeping systems for linux. I tried one for about 1 month and got bored [04:25] Hammerjak: so i tryed to install ubuntu on this notebook a while back and it never worked ... do you know of any bios issues that would cause this [04:25] but then again I play poker for a living and am not good at money handling sutffs heh :P [04:25] I think quicken runs quite well under wine [04:25] quintin_, you must be pretty good then [04:25] quicken isn't really DEBK though. well it is, but it hides it from you like [04:25] iKernel: yes. but you don't have to be that good to beat $1/$2 and $2/$5 [04:25] nonexks: sorry, no, there are lots of things that can go wrong with laptop drivers, can't help you there [04:25] JunTao1: a great place to check for these types of 'equivalency' questions is http://linuxalt.com , there's generally many applications for a purpose. [04:25] help [04:25] What do I need to run the live cd? I have the alt and the amd64 versions burned, but no option for it... [04:25] Hammerjak: ok thank you very much [04:26] Why don't we require the manufacturers Linux drivers? We should make a list of demands. [04:26] yea, there are several cool sites I've found that showcase alternative softwares. Pretty cool sites [04:26] quintin_: trying doing this in the terminal: sudo modproble snd_hda_intel [04:26] !ask | felipe_ [04:26] felipe_: 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).

[04:26] * Flare-Laptop knows this [04:26] Flare-Laptop: ok.. though I'd think driver is already loaded since alsamixer shows hw [04:26] unfortunately, there are so few manufacturers worried with linux drivers. [04:26] well i guess its time to try the live cd again [04:27] quintin_: I'm not sure. But there's not hurt in trying [04:27] Hey, grep auto hilites how huh? neat [04:27] oh one more question ... ubuntu or Xubuntu [04:27] adamonline45: you have to tell your computer to boot from cd === cail is now known as Guest7331 [04:27] nonexks: ubuntu, Xubuntu is if you have a really old system [04:27] hi! [04:27] I have been using windoze for like almost 8 months cause it was on the pc I pulled out of storage D: [04:27] Hammerjak: Thanks, I got that far :) I just don't see the option for it in the CD's menu... [04:27] !hi | fishneck [04:27] fishneck: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines . Enjoy your stay! [04:27] novato_br, what, all three of us .. ? [04:27] quintin_ yep :) gotta love bash [04:28] adamonline45: what options do you see? [04:28] so ubuntu 9.10 is the best version ? [04:28] aww okay kewl [04:28] Can anyone direct me to a good tutorial on how to set up a wireless router on ubuntu? [04:28] hey it seems there is now some good auto coloring stuff with ls. yay === Guest7331 is now known as Liang99 [04:29] nonexks: ubuntu 9.10 is the current version, it's up to you if that's the 'best' :) [04:29] How come "examples" in my home folder isn't a pretty looking link? It's just a generic white page icon [04:29] Hammerjak: I see Install, Check Disc, Test memory, boot from first hard disk, and rescue a broken system === Nightw0lf is now known as Nightwolf [04:29] henryhammond: do you mean connect to a wireless network? or configure a wireless router. cuz second option is same as anything else: connect to the router through your browser. [04:29] ok well im off ..thanks [04:30] brummbaer configure the network adapter, i downloaded drivers for windows and for linux, and i just cant get it to work [04:30] allright, so i set up ubuntu server. Today, i did a sudo apt-get install links, so that i could try and figure out what to do with it. Upon opening links, however, something crashed, and it started a maintenance shell. Upon rebooting, i can no longer access the internet at all, and i don't know what i should do... [04:30] adamonline45: if you choose 'install' it should boot the live cd, you don't have to run the installer [04:30] henryhammond, do you know what type of wireless adapter it is? [04:31] Hi, i have ubuntu server running on a dell with integrated graphics and no monitor. ive been using it through ssh for over a year, and id like to add graphical option. what can i do? [04:31] brummbaer wusb54gc ver3 [04:31] Hammerjak: Nope, I've installed numerous times today and never gotten into any like cd anything... it just goes to the gui (ascii) installer... [04:31] by linksys [04:31] Package libdvdcss2 is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source [04:32] none of the sites are helping [04:32] Flare-Laptop: Do you have fingerprint scanner working? [04:32] adamonline45: it probably has a problem detecting your video card or something then.... i don't know [04:32] Hammerjak: hmm, k, thanks anyway... [04:32] FarmCretin... you could install gdm and VNC in [04:32] quintin_: Mine didn't come with it. [04:32] henryhammond: if you run ifconfig do you see the device? [04:32] quintin_ mine doesn't either, but it still contains all the correct contents anyways [04:33] lakota: try this link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu#Adding%20the%20Repositories [04:33] eg. sudo apt-get install gdm [04:33] Flare-Laptop: What is in yours? I'm very sad about my screen.. only XGA. [04:33] FarmCretin: you can ssh with X forwarding... ssh -X [04:33] how many tests 'memtest' runs??/ It's very long and (boring) process! [04:33] tawd: wat was last message re:? [04:33] what's a good ubuntu app for issuing at commands to a modem? minicom is crashing for me [04:33] quintin_: Mines awesome. Its VGA too [04:33] quintin_ about the examples folder not looking like a folder [04:33] quintin_: I can use compiz on it too :D [04:33] Flare-Laptop: mine is 2.0ghz c2d, 4m cache 1g ram 100g hdd 128m discrete gfx. not sure if it has the evdo card in it or not. paid $130 for it with no battery yesterday [04:34] brummbaer: Im not sure how i would know that (noob to linux world), but there is nothing that seems to look like it [04:34] quintin_: My got tea spilt on it and it still works :P [04:34] Flare-Laptop: xga you mean? 1024x768? I am going to look around for a 1400x1050 monitor for mine, if I decide to keep it instead of reselling. man it's pretty cool to have a linux laptop that suspend works on though. I accidentally closed lid and was a bit tickled when I opened it and everything came back [04:34] No sound and it overheats tho :( [04:34] quintin_: haha Yup [04:35] Flare-Laptop: there is supposed to be a membrane under keyboard tha troutes liquid out of device. I've thought about spilling water on mine.. [04:35] henryhammond: if you type ifconfig in terminal (applications > accessories > terminal), you should see either a eth1 or wlan0, something like that... [04:35] tawd: oh yea :) [04:35] :O really? [04:35] I didn't know that [04:35] ejwaxx, hey that may have worked! soon as it was done my updates poped up and is updating mplayer and lib files. lets hope this fixed it [04:35] quintin_: Even if it gets on the heatsink? [04:35] yea. read it when I was googling for info and came across reviews. also option for 2nd minipci slot is an over the air broadband card. haven't looked to see if mine has one in it [04:36] brummbaer i see Link encap:Ethernet and before that i see eth0 [04:36] Flare-Laptop: well the membrane is under the keyboard, so it shouldn't get that far in theory I guess. I haven't taken it apart to see how it all looks [04:36] Hammerjak: the vnc client would be windows [04:36] What does this mean, anyone?: [04:36] The file /blah/blah/ has been modified since reading it. [04:36] If you save it, all the external changes could be lost. Save it anyway? [04:36] quintin_: Well I've got the hardware parts list pdf if you wnat it [04:36] want* [04:37] FarmCretin: that's all well and good if you're ssh'ing from a windows box, I didn't know :) [04:37] y6i: Means that the file has been changed while you were reading it [04:37] y6i: another program or person modified that file while it was in your editor's buffer [04:37] i know, i appreciated the help all the same [04:37] Whats the difference from Ubuntu One and DropBox?, besides Ubuntu One shipping by default [04:37] henryhammond: what if you try 'lspci | grep -e Linksys' ? [04:38] FFForever: I've got both, and the only difference is the bandwidth usage [04:38] I want to build a new machine, but all the new motherboard, chipset, and cpu options are bewildering. Anybody got a link to a good website? [04:38] ok, I turned on "beep" in alsamixer, and now I have sound!! [04:38] henryhammond: online forums are saying that version three requires custom compilation and module loading, but i'm still looking for details, k? [04:38] quintin_: :O WOOT [04:38] how can I do (open new tab in firefox and open "url") via ssh? [04:38] Flare-Laptop: So do your volume buttons work? mine do.. but it seems... the volume buttons affect IBM hardware, and when you push them it's not a signal to OS? [04:38] Flannel, like wise, but db has multi os so its better imo, whats your opinion on them? [04:39] I love me some thinklights [04:39] quintin_: Yup, but like my sound is separate from the OS :( [04:39] Is there selective file sync in one? [04:39] brummbaer okay, i tried looking, and i found some that said use ndsiwrapper, some that said to download something from ralink and change it, but i could never find the data to change, ive been trying to two days [04:39] Flare-Laptop: I'm so glad I found this deal... cause I was about to drop $400 on a 17" dell [04:39] dsnyders: tomshardware.com, newegg.com ? [04:39] now totem movie player is frozen and still no movie :( [04:39] quintin_: haha Ubuntu ftw! [04:40] FFForever: I like Ubuntu one better because I love Ubuntu :P [04:40] acovrig: just use the "lynx" terminal browser [04:40] Flare-Laptop: ah yea ok you get what I'm saying then. other laptops the volume buttons have been linked to OS sound. Wonder if there is anything to make that happen [04:40] I'm so happy to be back in linux instead of windoze :P [04:40] how do people chat in the terminal? [04:40] irssi [04:40] quintin_: Well it used to do that in 9.04 but not in Karmic [04:40] tawd: a terminal irc client ... I am using irssi. [04:40] henryhammond: i totally sympathize, i spent several days working on cobbling together a decent conexant driver for karmic w/o having to pay linuxant for the unlocked driver. :) [04:40] switch10, the user is running firefox on display=:0.0, can I use ssh to open a new tab & open a url? [04:40] quintin_ thanks :) [04:41] onto display 0.0 [04:41] i have a RS232 -> USB converter, how can i check its installed properly ? i THINK its FTDI chipset.. can it be listed in my usb devices ? ideas ? [04:41] acovrig: i dont know how to do it [04:41] Flare-Laptop: did you upgrade, or clean install? back in the dark ages, like version 6 and such, I always had to do clean intall... upgrades left too much cruft [04:41] acovrig: you could just vnc to the machine [04:41] quintin_: Upgrade [04:41] like "firefox --display=:0.0 --url="http://www.google.com"" [04:41] I'm sad this laptop doesn't feel much "faster" than other machines. meh. [04:42] Flare-Laptop, how do I setup vnc to not give a notifycation? [04:42] brummbaer: I entered that command, and nothing showed up, but i got no erroor [04:42] acovrig: install x11vnc :p [04:42] apt-get x11vnc? [04:42] hi all, what is the syntax for mount a ntfs partition with permissions read-write-execute to put in the fstab? [04:42] is there ANY way at all, in the world, possibly, to get your root password from a box you cant log into? [04:42] acovrig: yup [04:43] y6i: no [04:43] Flare-Laptop: woot! installed fprint_demo and I can scan fingerprints. doesn't show images though =( [04:43] kain_: you can install ntfs-config and you'll have a nice simple gui that does it for you :) [04:43] quintin_: Nice [04:43] well, we've decided to buy a dell alienware Arena 51 ALX gaming PC which have 12 GB ram, 3.86 GHz intel i7 processor, 2 GB ATi GPU and all others..Which ubuntu version is capable and will run stable in this hardware...? Suggest please...... [04:43] It's should also run games nicely.... [04:43] Hammerjak, : will this erase the lines i manually put in the fstab? [04:43] from someone who's not Flare-Laptop [04:43] quintin_: My sound died when the tea got in it. But the headphone jack still works :) [04:43] Xfact: umm. 9.10 karmic x64 ? [04:43] no, but if you want to hand-edit fstab i'll paste my ntfs line for you [04:43] Xfact: avoid ati if you want to use linux [04:44] then de-check the vnc option in the Remote Control (something like that) in the GUI? [04:44] >.> [04:44] so, an x86-64 would use the amd64 install, no? [04:44] yer. ati will work, but cause issues. [04:44] blakkheim: but it only serving ATI graphic cards...:( [04:44] kain_: /dev/ /media/Windows ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0 [04:44] adamonline45: it covers x86 archatecture, 64bit [04:44] Xfact: you have a gaming PC running Linux? [04:44] henryhammond: that could mean that it's not seeing it at all or not seeing it as Linksys; if you search through the output from 'lspci', is there anything that looks like it? you may also try unplugging it then plugging it back in, then checking dmesg [04:44] Flare-Laptop: I noticed during install this version asks out of box if you would lik eyour homedir encrypted. pretty cool. esp. since when I got this laptop it had a file on it called "Passwords.docx". guess what contents were :P [04:45] Quan-Time: 64 bit doesn't support many apps and some games :( [04:45] is there ANY way at all, in the world, possibly, to get your root password from a box you cant log into? [04:45] Quan-Time: That's what I thought... just trying to eliminate potential issues here... thanks :) [04:45] switch10: no, never before....

[04:45] hey everyone [04:45] kain_: yes. [04:45] Hey who is good with the open office spreadsheet program? [04:45] y6i: If you have physical access to it, then yes, tons of ways. [04:45] or is there a forum for that? [04:45] y6i: i think you can reset it with a liveCD.. but honestly not sure. would have to investigate that [04:45] Hammerjak : ok i'll try thanks [04:45] room, I mean [04:46] I disabled the notification application... how can i get my pidgin menu bar icon back?? [04:46] kain_: add that line rather than installing ntfs-config... i wasn't sure how confident you were to hand-edit fstab :) [04:46] powertool08: how? [04:46] y6i: are you sure you unlocked the root account on that machine, or are you referring to your user account? [04:46] Xfact: hate to say it but if its a gaming machine with those specs you would be better off running windows to play your games.

[04:46] henryhammond: dammit i'm an idiot, i'm sorry; i'm used to doing this for internal ports, can you try lsusb instead of lspci? [04:46] So guys, should I use Ubuntu in that Alienware or I have to use that preloaded windows 7 (which taking lots money) in it...:( (I hate windows) [04:47] y6i: that machine is running Ubuntu? Which account are you trying to login with? A user account? [04:47] Xfact: build your own system and use nvidia, much better for linux [04:47] Xfact: taking "lots of money" ? err.. its not THAT expensive compared to the system.. OEM is fairly cheap. [04:47] y6i: as Quan-Time suggested, livecd is probably easiest, boot it up, mount the root partition and delete the hash in /etc/passwd and the shadow file. [04:47] how to create desktop shortcut from application menu [04:47] tritium: yes ubuntu and yes a user account [04:47] Quan-Time: what is steam anyway? I keep hearing about that.

[04:48] tritium: how do you do that? [04:48] lol [04:48] anyone to anwer me [04:48] Xfact, Install Linux, and use Windows in a virtual machine. After all, you've paid for it. No sense it going completely to waste. [04:48] switch10: umm.. steam is... ok.. know how the ubuntu repository works ? its like that for games.. Steam is the valve "program" which auto updates games for you.. Its fairly slick if your into that sorta thing.. Half life2 stuff.. and heaps of others. [04:48] how to create desktop shortcut from application menu xubuntu [04:48] rudra: System -> Preferences -> Main Menu ? sorry i don't have xubuntu [04:49] y6i: hit Esc when you first boot, and select the recovery mode (single-user mode) from the grub menu [04:49] Hammerjak : i get "mount: unknown filesystem type 'ntfs-3g' " [04:49] !dontfeedthetroll [04:49] well, thanks for suggestion...I will try to add nvidia card instade of ATI... [04:49] tritium: then what? [04:49] !troll [04:49] trolling / trollish behaviour is behaviour that is considered annoying by other channel users, this includes going offtopic, asking the same question time and again getting answered and not acknowledging the answer, and these are not the only ways behaviour can be considered trolling, please see /msg ubottu guidelines - if this applies to you, you may find yourself outside the channel [04:49] Xfact: look up "cedega" by transgaming.. it COSTS MONEY.. to play games on linux (well). so your crap outta luck in that respect... wine is a good alternative.. WINE = Windows application layer (NOT an emulator) [04:49] kain_: sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g [04:50] Hammerjak : what does ntfs-3g do exactly? [04:50] kain_: it enables NTFS partition writing [04:50] kain_: it is the drivers that allow linux to 'talk' ntfs [04:50] i use it.. works well [04:50] Hi :) i'm trying to mount an *.iso but the following error message displays instead: "mount: you must specify the filesystem type" Would someone help me?

TRUST me [04:52] Xfact: I build my own systems, and never spend more than $1k, often much less. [04:52] Quan-Time, ejwaxx i've mounted this exact iso earlier, from the command line. I don't know what is happening right now tho [04:52] henryhammond: odd... sadly i've reached the end of the road for my evening. as a last piece of advice, since this seems to be a common problem, all the super-techs jump on this type of thing on launchpad. your specific problem is here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/446889 [04:52] can someone tell me how to access irc.freenode.net? [04:52] admiralspark: you're on it.. [04:52] Alan502: is something else still mounted ? maybe its conflicting [04:52] henryhammond: good luck to you! [04:52] admiralspark: Your already on it [04:53] Hammerjak, i read the manpages and tried that, but another error message is displayed.. let me paste it for you [04:53] Hammerjak : does ntfs-3g change my grub file?

(I really don't know why! :-X) [04:53] kain_: no [04:53] *smacks forehead* thanks [04:53] brummbaer thanks alot for the help, ill keep working on it [04:53] Quan-Time, there's nothing mounted [04:53] ok tritium, press esc at the menu where it asks you what kernel you want to run? it wont let me. [04:53] admiralspark: Np [04:53] :P [04:53] Alan502: oh.. weird [04:54] y6i: what do you mean it won't let you? [04:54] Hammerjak : THANKS, it worked :D [04:54] tritium: nothing happens [04:54] kain_: great !:D [04:54] Hammerjak, http://paste.ubuntu.com/352701/ === kevdog_ is now known as kevdog [04:54] Hammerjak : i just hoped it didn't do anything to my grub file cause i had to modify a line to be able to boot Ubuntu on my sata drive [04:54] Hammerjak, that is what i get when i try to specify the type [04:54] y6i: are you using the arrow keys to move down the list? Hit enter to select the one you want. [04:55] Alan502: try "man mount" and see if theres a option for filesystem or somethin.. maybe thats causing it ? its a non standard iso ? [04:55] tritium: select recovery mode? [04:55] y6i: yes [04:55] kain_: no, ntfs-3g doesn't have anything to do with grub, you're fine [04:56] i am having a problem with new ubuntu kernel update, every time it swaps hard enough my mouse freezes up and if i am talking on skype or sip it locks up the sound, and ideas or if i want something done right i have to make menuconfig myself? [04:56] do I need x11 forwarding on the remote machine for x11vnc? [04:56] Quan-Time, i created it with k3b.. .so i think it is a standard iso [04:56] Anyone here really good with OpenOffice? [04:57] how do i get encrypted DVD playback support? [04:57] josh99: just ask your question :) [04:57] tritium: select grub right? then what? [04:57] kain_: ntfs-3g is like a "driver" for hardware.. Because the hdd partition is NTFS, its treated as a seperate piece of "hardware". the 3g driver helps you install (mount) the part so you can interact with it properly (this isnt exactly true, but it helps explain it) [04:57] Despite my craftiest attempts to remove the cursor from a table cell without activating autocorrect, it consistently replaces my simple 4-digit time with a 15 digit version. [04:57] Thus ruining my table. [04:57] y6i: you select recovery mode (single-user mode) [04:57] I just want to turn the god blessed thing off. [04:58] tritium: im in the recovery menu [04:58] but my current 'heap' still doing problem with hardy...some program closing unexpectedly :(....is that a problem of having old OS? [04:58] Hammerjak : i got another problem now [04:58] hardy... [04:58] y6i: you mean the grub menu? [04:59] no [04:59] yea\ [04:59] i think they are the same thing [04:59] Hammerjak : now when i turn my external hard drive on, i get error : "only root can mount ...." [05:00] y6i: move the arrow key down to the recovery mode of the most recent kernel version, and hit the Enter key, and it will boot into single-user mode. [05:00] kain_: putting it in your fstab will auto-mount without needing to be root.... if you turn the hdd on after ubuntu boots... i don't know how to get around that :) [05:00] im in single user mode [05:00] Saving the document replaces it. Any key removing the cursor from the cell enables it. [05:00] anyone familiar with FreeNX for ubuntu? [05:00] how to do voice chat through pidgin with gtalk id [05:00] im in the recovery menu, its in a white box with a blue background [05:01] is there anyway i can find out how many traffic is on a net interface without ip traf just run a command and the command outputs the traffic at the second i run it? [05:01] Hammerjak : hmmm, i'll try and find how [05:01] The only thing I haven't tried is killing the process and hoping it recovers it with a reset cursor position. It shouldn't come to that. I just want to turn autocorrect off for tables. [05:01] how do I use x11vnc? [05:01] how to do voice chat through pidgin with gtalk id [05:01] rudra: ok.. got your mic working normally ?

[05:02] Hammerjak, i need that for a script not a grafical tool [05:03] y6i: the shell prompt [05:03] some command line solution [05:03] n16h7f0x: like tcpdump? [05:03] after I start up machine, my fstab auto mounts no longer mount? any suggestions? i can issue sudo mount -a and everything is fine but what reason would make them not automount anymore?

I hope that's the same as my login password. if it is, just out of curiosity, whats the command for ubuntu? [05:20] kain_: Are you using gnome? you should be able to find your device in nautilus and just click it to mount. [05:20] Yeah sure, write a bash script, give it admin privs (mmm, may have to hardcode sudo password? or execute the script as sudo), and add it to start-up application [05:21] nick125, well the thing is, the model of my hard disk is known for making I/O noise, even when it's new; so I'm not sure when to get worried... [05:21] Ademos: Has it always made this grinding noise? [05:21] powertool08 : its NTFS, i've installed ntfs-3g and added lines in fstab to be able to mount with write, read, execute permissions [05:21] nick125, hard to say...I mean it always has when I'm transfering files [05:21] !botsnack [05:21] Yum! Err, I mean, APT! [05:21] y6i: the command for what? [05:21] kain_ : Or, add them to your fstab, they appear to be separate partitions, ala mount points. Should be fine. Check out docs on fstab. [05:21] tritium: for starting ubuntu [05:21] nick125, but sometimes it's been happening when I'm doing nothing, I just found this though: http://lifehacker.com/5291974/iotop-tells-you-what-process-is-grinding-your-hard-drive [05:21] powertool08 : but its an external drive, so when i turn it on, i get error, only root can mount [05:22] tritium: the gui [05:22] y6i: from single-user mode, telinit 2 [05:22] Ademos: Kind of ironic post name, heh.

[05:23] nick125, haha well it may answer my question [05:23] powertool08 : i g2g, thanks anyways, i'll be back later to see if i can find a solution to my problem [05:23] I think Ubuntu a made a graphical man page viewer if that's what you mean? I don't know what it's called, but I may (or may not) remember reading about it. [05:23] s/Ubuntu/Canonical [05:23] I tried man in terminal [05:24] can I export that manual to text file ? [05:24] You could probably do something like "man > man_app.txt" [05:24] lin00b if you want? like man rar > file [05:24] graphical man page viewer? o_O who needs a gui to view text? [05:24] I need help getting a dlink wda 2320 pci wireless card working with 9.10 2.6.31-16 [05:24] Anyone know anything about killing ivp6 in 9.10? In fiesty you could go to /etc/modprobe.d/aliases and edit that file. In 9.10 that file no longer exists... [05:25] nick125, I guess I'll try this software and see if I notice anything; thanks for the response though [05:25] later all [05:25] No..I need to read the manual in gedit [05:25] not in terminal [05:25] Sure [05:25] lin00b: Why? it says the same thing... [05:25] I tried building the madwifi driver from source and when I try to apt-get the linux-restricted-modules for my kernel apt cant find them? [05:25] hello, I've just installed WindowsXP on my secondary hard drive (not by choice, but by necessity of my university) when my linux drive was not installed in the computer (thinkpad T60 w/ultrabay secondary drive). What I'm trying to do, is update grub (grub2, I think) so that it will ask me which OS I want to startup at boot time. [05:25] to keep some notes [05:25] Pen and Paper [05:25] tritium: was telinit 2 really the right command or was that malicious code because that logged into a screen with my mouse cursor and a totally blank screen [05:26] chu : lol :D [05:26] lin00b I know in the KDE terminal you can save the history (the output man gives you) and view it in gedit. At least I think. [05:26] lin00b why read it in gedit? try man whatyouwanhere > /path/to/where/you/want/it/saved [05:26] Hey do I have to install my printer software in order for ubuntu to recognize it? [05:26] y6i: it's correct. It tells the system to switch from runlevel 1 (single-user) to runlevel 2 (multi-user, X, networking, etc.) [05:26] @tawd..thanks ..I need to add some notes to that file for future reference [05:26] If you pass the man to a piped file, you should bhe able to open the file with gedit. But seems pointless [05:27] Ilmatic: no, ubuntu pre-packages cups printer drivers [05:27] Also I can see all my neighbors wireless networks, but not my own. I've fiddled with all my router settings short of shutting off all security. Any ideas? [05:27] lin00b: "sudo updatedb && locate rsync | grep man" (Find where the file resides, uncompress and view it with Gedit. You're better off using Ubuntu Help Center (or 'yelp' in terminal). [05:27] mhm..I found all docs in /usr/share/doc :D === wowoto is now known as tyro [05:28] Seems reasonable :p [05:28] y6i: an alternative, but unnecessary approach, is to reboot the machine. [05:28] How so I set up my printer with ubuntu? [05:28] Ilmatic: system > admin > printers ??? go figure eh [05:28] lin00b ;p copy and edit the ones you want then lol [05:28] it's really very easy [05:29] Hi all, I'm having problems with alsa and my built in mic, the levels are either completely silent or I get huge amounts of static when I increase them, here's my alsa info http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=6ab8487ae7c8032da48f4a474632ae568ba1b05d [05:29] what's the easiest way to mount an iso so i can run it in wine and install and play the game? [05:29] tritium: i tried that [05:30] y6i: well, you should be all set [05:30] psvasti: you can get the package gmountiso from synaptic -- it works a lot like poweriso in windows [05:30] psvasti: Mount an ISO? Right-click the file and Mount. [05:30] ok thanks guys [05:30] tritium: this time i ran my hand accross the computer and it brought up a verbose dialogue of what the computer was doing [05:31] tritium: i mean i ran my hand accross the keyboard [05:31] Hey Frank. [05:31] y6i: That's normal, you just exited the fancy splash screen. [05:31] Anyone have any ideas? [05:32] tritium: it froze at "setting Advanced Power Management level to 0xfe (254) [ OK ] [05:32] and it WONT MOVE :( [05:32] what should I do [05:33] Anyone know if I can edit a dependencies required version number for a deb package? [05:33] actually before that it said "Checking battery state..." but its a desktop and doesnt even have a battery. [05:34] hi all. im still unable to play 3gp with sound. i installed almost all players (including kaffeine) and no sound yet. im on gnome 9.10 [05:34] ANYONE??!?! === jukebox-zero_ is now known as jukebox-zero [05:34] can mono actually port .net 3.5 ? [05:34] for ubuntu ? [05:34] Sure, why not? [05:35] hello, I've just installed WindowsXP on my secondary hard drive (not by choice, but by necessity of my university) when my linux drive was not installed in the computer (thinkpad T60 w/ultrabay secondary drive). What I'm trying to do, is update grub (grub2, I think) so that it will ask me which OS I want to startup at boot time. [05:36] y6i: try ctrl+alt+sys req + r + e + i + s + u + b The letters can be pressed one after another not all at once. It should reboot. [05:36] shadowimmage: run "sudo update grub" in terminal [05:36] shadowimmage: It should find all installed OSes on drives attached to the system and add them to the grub menu. [05:36] powertool08: i've already rebooted though. same deal. [05:37] shadowimmage: Also, tell your uni they are a bunch of pricks for requiring windows [05:37] y6i: Raising Elephants Is So Utterly Boring helps to remember this. [05:37] y6i: rebooted after it crashed and it crashed in the same place? [05:37] lol [05:37] now its moving again! [05:38] :) [05:38] Moving is good. [05:38] Jef91, is it "update grub" or "update-grub" (also, neither work "sudo: command not found") [05:38] shaodwimmage try grub update [05:39] shadowimmage the command is: sudo update-grub [05:39] shadowimmage - note this only works if you have grub2, so 9.10 or 10.04 [05:40] Jef91: actually, update-grub also works with grub1 in 8.04 [05:40] Losha: Good to know, I never dual booted before 9.10 [05:41] how ho decrypt a folder which was encrypted in other ubntu system ? [05:41] actually, none of the commands with the "-" in them work... what I found is that sudo grub update, just puts me in a grub terminal or something? [05:41] it wont printttttt [05:41] I know the email and password of the key file [05:42] anyone know where I can get help with video codecs/ [05:42] ? [05:42] K3rmit, what's the problem, just ask, someone might be able to help [05:43] !codecs | K3rmit [05:43] K3rmit: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [05:44] I want to build a new machine, but all the new motherboard, chipset, and cpu options are bewildering. Anybody got a link to a good website that explains them? [05:44] I have an avi video file which is compressed with a DVCodec but I can't get it to show any video [05:45] I've downloaded the VFW codec but didn't work [05:45] Eg, ATI or NVidia, Intel vs AMD, etc. [05:45] Motion is set to use the pid file /var/run/motion/motion.pid, but every time i make the /var/run/motion directory and chown it to the motion user, it gets deleted on reboot, so motion can't be started. How can I make /var/run/motion and make it stick? [05:46] how to enable root login ? please [05:46] hey can someone help me out with something [05:47] lin00b: you shouldn't need to. === jay is now known as Guest30261 [05:47] Jay, just ask your question [05:47] !sudo > lin00b [05:47] lin00b, please see my private message [05:47] K3rmit. Do a google search for svn ffmpeg. Follow their instructions to install and anything you can't play you can convert to something you can. Saves me loads of bother. [05:47] ok, so I got grub to do it's update thing... but it didn't find windows [05:47] I need it for saving fine in /var/www [05:47] from file manager [05:47] im using ubuntu karmic and am running vista in virtualbox, how do i get the ports to work for the virtual vista [05:47] sudo works in terminal .. [05:47] lin00b: why don't you use sudo [05:47] jukebox-zero hmmm ok thanks [05:48] but for filemanager sudo wont work in filemanager [05:48] i need to do some work on an iphone using windows software so i really need the ports [05:48] I need to edit file in gedit instead of nano in terminal [05:48] lin00b: what is it exactly you're trying to do? [05:48] lin00b: try gksudo gedit [05:49] lin00b: Run 'sudo gedit ' in terminal, or just 'sudo gedit' [05:49] lin00b, gksudo gedit or just launch nautilus via gksudo [05:49] ok..but I cannot alter files in /var/www/ from filemanager [05:49] lin00b: right [05:50] lin00b: cd into that folder, and type gksudo gedit file/youwanttoedit [05:50] Kieran0413: lin00b: launching nautilus (file manager) with gksudo can be done, but is dicouraged due to the risk of messing things up big [05:50] lin00b: /var/www belongs to www-data - you either need to add yourself to its group, or use sudo mv to move it, then chown it back to www-data [05:50] @td123.. I can edit it that way..but using a gui will make things easier for me === Guest30261 is now known as jay [05:50] hey everybody [05:51] lin00b: gedit is a gui === jay is now known as lhommedangereux [05:51] @faileas...thanks...can I chown a folder for two users ? [05:51] arand, fair enough, I'll avoid mentioning it again then. thinking about it, it was probably a bad idea :) [05:51] i need to enable ports with vista on virtual box can some please help [05:51] lin00b: you can type gksu nautilus, gksu gedit in a terminal, run dialog (alt+f2), or make a link to them on your desktop, panel or main menu. Remember that the root user can SERIOUSLY cause damage if you mess with the wrong files, though. [05:51] Guest30261, i assume you mean USB ports? for USB you can't use VBox OSE version (the one in Ubuntu repo) you need to either download the DEB or add Sun's repo for the PEUL version see http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads [05:51] lin00b: ? you chown a folder for a user/group so no [05:51] lin00b: no. i think you can use chmod (something) alternately. i can't remember the 'right' way to tho [05:51] faileas: What kind of info do you put on your wiki? [05:51] Does anyone know what the equivalent of /etc/modprobe.d/aliases is in 9.10? The official ubuntu docs still direct me there, and in 9.10 it doesn't exist. I need to disable IPv6, it always screws up my internet. [05:51] lin00b: not chowning to two users... you can add the users to the concerned group] [05:51] lhommedangereux: try asling the virtualbox channel [05:52] powertool08: oh, just what apps i use for various things, some command line stuff that i need once a century or so... [05:52] on my box /var/www belongs to root:root [05:52] I have a spare computer and I want to try out another linux distro on it (it's a PowerPC imac), and so far I've been thinking of trying openSUSE or Debian 5.0, are those both good or are there any others that I should try first? [05:52] for some reason [05:52] ok.. can I change it to apache:apache also ? [05:53] I should also mention I'm a huge noob when it comes to linux and stuff [05:53] faileas: Ah, thanks for the ideas :) [05:53] bleepbloop: well.. debian is similar to ubuntu ;p [05:53] similar but not the same thing [05:53] ubuntu is similar to debian :D [05:53] :: You should be able to change to apache:apache if the user and group is existing. [05:53] bleepbloop, there is/was an unofficial build of Ubuntu for PPC? Been a while since I've bothered with PPC stuff though [05:54] and I've heard its learning curve is higher than ubuntu's so what better way to learn more than diving right in? [05:54] powertool08: its especially good with the windows boxen i support. i install a crapload of additional software and i can never remember all of it. least with ubuntu i got the package manager to jog my memory ;) [05:54] lol [05:54] @rameez..thanks mate..I will get some knowledge of groups [05:54] bleepbloop: ubuntu is a debian derivative [05:54] bleepbloop: in short, most basics are the same, and most apps work in both [05:54] Kieran0413: I already have ubuntu on a computer, I just wanted to try out a different one [05:54] different linux distro that is [05:54] bleepbloop, ahh ok :) [05:55] bleepbloop: I like Arch linux myself, if you're comfy with the command line its a breeze, if you're terrified of it then don't [05:55] !backup [05:55] There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [05:55] bleepbloop: well, the difference between debian and ubuntu is partially ideological, and ubuntu being more usercentric. you won't learn anything new [05:55] ! [05:55] hi [05:56] http://pastebin.ca/1741111 <<<---- Can someone please look at this output from when I boot off my usb, I need to figure out what is wrong so I can get this amchine booting again [05:56] It's imperative [05:56] bleepbloop: CentOs is good if you want to learn about redhat style distros [05:57] faileas: Hmm thanks for the input, maybe I'll try openSUSE and go from there [05:57] im having trouble getting my D-Link wireless card to work, I have been trying to get this thing to work for a few days now [05:57] lin00b: i think you'd want to run: sudo chown www-data:www-data /var/www then sudo chmod 775 /var/www then sudo usermod -a -G www-data [05:57] bleepbloop: When I was first distro hopping I just burned about 10 live cd's and used each one until it pissed me off or bored me. [05:57] powertool08: I just want to learn more about linux in general [05:57] Michelle_: it looks like the partition is not where its expected to be [05:57] Hey can someone tell me chinese file names are all messed up on my computer? How do I go about changing that encoding without changing all my menus to like chinese [05:57] and become a more proficient user, etc. etc. [05:57] bleepbloop: LFS! ;p [05:57] lsmod shows wlan with ath_pci [05:58] @jschall :thanks.. I think thats what I need..thanks [05:58] Faileas: I set it up the way it's supposed to be :S Even if that didn't work I'd just let it do the partitioning automatically in the install, still no luck. [05:58] Faileas: Same output [05:58] lin00b: then you need to log out and log back in for the group join to take effect [05:58] more seriously though, i'd suggest picking a distro, and building up a box with just what you need from ground up. i learnt a load from that [05:58] bleepbloop: Slackware is good for that. Not very noob friendly but if you can successfully run slackware, you can handle any distro. [05:58] Is there a way to change the computer name after installation? I just sped through it at install thinking I could change it later. I swear I've seen a dialog at some point to edit that. Not finding it for the life of me. [05:58] Michelle_: hmm, some more info would help. is this a unetbootin, ubuntu usb installer, or a full install? [05:58] anyone got any ideas on how to get this pci wireless card working [05:58] what about Minix? [05:59] faileas: A full install from a live cd [05:59] bleepbloop: in that case, go for a distro which is flaky and try to figure out all the problems, then when everything works as it should, move on ;) [05:59] Faileas: I need a persistent install [05:59] bleepbloop: Never used it, sorry. [05:59] I've heard thats geared towards helping people learn how to use the system [05:59] Michelle_: well, it looks like a normal install where something is off [05:59] ack [05:59] gotta go [05:59] bleepbloop: u mean Mint or Minix [05:59] jukebox-zero, /etc/hostname [05:59] Funny thing is that it doesn't tell me what, where or how it is going wrong, maybe if I were a computer or had a degree in computer science or something would I know what's wrong [05:59] dekenx: Minix [06:00] bleepbloop: oh ok that's a diffent story [06:00] kieran0413: Thanks. [06:00] bleepbloop, Ubuntu is a great linux all around. If you want to learn linux jump into it. start playing around with ubuntu in the command line. the ubuntu wiki has loads of information. [06:00] jukebox-zero: be extremely careful when changing hostnames [06:00] jukebox-zero: add the new entry in /etc/hosts first [06:01] jukebox-zero: gksudo gedit /etc/hosts /etc/hostname change both [06:01] hehe, check out my webserver at http://jon.pmtech.com [06:01] bleepbloop: There's always gentoo ;) Great documentation, but chances are you won't understand half of what you're running in the terminal until much later. [06:01] jukebox-zero: but do not remove the old entry until after you update /etc/hostname [06:01] I have backups of my / and /home partitions, but my homedir was ecrypted as part of the installation. I need to mount in manually, but where would I find the keyring/passphrase file? [06:01] lstarnes / jellow: Noted, thank you. [06:01] valindil89: I know, but canonical stopped supporting PowerPC machines, so for mucking around in the command line I'm looking for something with better support for PPC machines right now :-P [06:01] Hey can someone tell me chinese file names are all messed up on my computer? How do I go about changing that encoding without changing all my menus to like chinese [06:01] My windows machine can't ping my linux box by hostname, only ip. Does anyone know if this is a windows problem or a linux problem? [06:01] powertool08: It's a DNS problem, [06:01] ;: [06:02] KB1JWQ: Obviously, but which box is at fault? === majidnur is now known as huu [06:02] bleepbloop, ahh ok [06:02] powertool08: Not enough information given. [06:02] oh yeah, that reminds me why I mention debian too [06:02] KB1JWQ: What information is needed? [06:02] because Debian's developers still support PPC machines [06:02] There is an additional problem... the / backup has ALL the files under lost+found :-( So I'm trying to find the ecryptfs passphrase in that mess. [06:02] how can I make a sudoers entry with nopasswd that works even if you do sudo -i ? [06:03] is wget faster than normal downloading from firefox ? [06:03] : turtle cam is cool.. one :) [06:03] lin00b: no but useing less ressources [06:04] lin00b: so maybe its faster on very old hardware [06:04] also can wget commands be resumed ? [06:04] lin00b: sure [06:04] So does anybody have any idea why I either get insanely quiet levels or huge amounts of static if I increase them on the build in mic? I've tried installing the latest alsa drivers which changed nothing, here's the alsa info http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=6ab8487ae7c8032da48f4a474632ae568ba1b05d [06:04] Iceroot : pls tell the command to resume wget downloads [06:04] lin00b, wget -c [06:04] lin00b: If you start them with the right switch, I think its -c? [06:05] lin00b: its -c also see man wget [06:05] ya..lol man is very helpful :D [06:05] Googling has been fruitless. And using find hasn't really help because I don't /really/ know what I'm looking for. [06:05] KB1JWQ: What information is needed? [06:05] lin00b: of course it is [06:06] Nobody has any idea? Huge amounts of static gets really annoying :D [06:07] How do I change my desktop encoding [06:08] So, I've isolated my install problems to having RAID enabled (NForce 6 series)... Disabling RAID allows for a successful install... Any ideas on how to have success with RAID? [06:08] how does one determine if one has 802.11a/b/g/n on a laptop using Ubuntu? [06:08] git__, iwconfig should tell you by the Bit Rate [06:09] git__, any problem with looking up the laptop specs on the net? === kevdog_____ is now known as kevdog [06:09] in /etc/exports what does mean "sync" option [06:09] <||arifaX> git__: if it is a module you can sometimes open a small plate on the bottom of the notebook and take a look on the label and google for it [06:10] kde is damn good :D === crunchbang is now known as Guest46625 [06:10] How do I reset /boot/grub/grub.cfg to default??? [06:10] sri: so write directly to the drive without caching [06:10] iwconfig works great [06:10] lin00b: :) just starting to get to know it again..

[06:12] Jonhnnyboy: for ubuntu its no problem but maybe if you want to save movies and so on [06:12] Jonhnnyboy, It depends on what you're going to do with it. For me, I need lots of space for videos. [06:13] dsnyders: how big is your partition? [06:13] dekenx, Searching for GRUB installation directory ... [06:13] No GRUB directory found. To create a template run 'mkdir /boot/grub' first.

[06:15] do u know how to fix 8 gig memory [06:15] jojuji: type list I think [06:16] list === ripps|sleep is now known as ripps [06:16] its seems to work for anything higher than 200 gig [06:16] brous-kee: did you run MEM TEST? [06:16] brous-kee: what to you want to fix? [06:16] hey guys, is there a way to see my fan speed and cpu temp in ubuntu 9.10 running on a macbook pro? thanks [06:16] mount the Linux partition, login to it, reinstall and update grub [06:17] jojuji: try xsensors? [06:17] dekenx, does that come with an applet for the panel? [06:17] Guest46625: try SuperGrub boot CD to fix it [06:17] : i just tried sysinfo.. but couldn't find fan speed there.. [06:17] I think there's a version or that, but it's also an app [06:17] other details of cpu is there [06:18] rameez, is it an applet for the panel? [06:18] you can run it from the command line.. [06:18] it will open the gui [06:18] jojuji: what DE are u using? [06:18] DE? [06:19] jojuji: like gnome, kde, xfce? [06:19] also you can find it under :Applications:System Tols [06:19] dekenx, gnome [06:19] jojuji: I recall there being one, for the panel [06:20] dekenx, by default, included? i cant find it [06:20] jojuji: do u want it to click on the panel and open an app with info or show it right there? [06:20] dekenx, show it right there [06:21] Any recommended closs platform VNC? I'm connecting from this linux machine to a windows one in the same LAN [06:22] jojuji: install gnome-sensors-applet [06:22] Hi.. all ...I have a problem with sound card.. My hardware is Compaq Presario CQ40.. OS is Ubuntu 9.10 [06:22] medan [06:23] how to configure the kickstart on ubuntu??? [06:23] dekenx, thanks [06:23] jojuji: np [06:23] sri: what kickstart? [06:23] rameez: Did you read the release notes? I know there are several bugs/workarounds in there for graphics cards, there may be some for sound cards also [06:23] did it work? [06:23] sri: you mean kicker? that is kde #kubuntu [06:23] i tried some pages in the ubuntu support pages.. but din't work [06:23] no... it is an automatic installation [06:24] rameez: aplay -l should display ur sound card :) [06:24] what's tehbest desktop manager? [06:24] Any recommended closs platform VNC? I'm connecting from this linux machine to a windows one in the same LAN [06:24] iAmerikan: the one you like [06:24] [11:54:18][0][~]$sudo aplay -l [06:24] aplay: device_list:223: no soundcards found... [06:24] [11:54:25][0][~]$ [06:24] I've only used gnome [06:24] rameez: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:24] Alan502: [06:24] Alan502: Any of them [06:24] iAmerikan: gnome and kde - stable most popular [06:25] is there some way to get compositing working on ubuntu inside a virtual guest? [06:25] rameez: You need to find ur driver then, check it using « lspci | grep Audio » [06:25] iAmerikan: xfce: fast, less stable [06:25] Alan502, There's an rdp client for linux which should save you installing anything on the windows box, alternatively tightVNC works well, or FreeNX [06:25] * powertool08 seconds xfce [06:25] iAmerikan: In that case, it is probably gnome, because you are used to it [06:26] iAmerikan: lxde even faster [06:26] !vnc [06:26] VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [06:26] less stable though [06:26] isolat3dsh33p>: it is 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) [06:26] iAmerikan: or there is fluxbox or Openbox though it take a lot of time to configure [06:26] iAmerikan: seriously, they are all just fine, use whatever you find fits your workflow [06:26] isolat3dsh33p, kickstart is an automated install program. It is useful for deploying multiple machines. [06:26] Well tbh I have windows 7 installed, but I've had ubuntu partitioned for a long time, now windows is getting on my nervs, so I'm thinking about going fulltime nix [06:26] Kieran0413, i'm only worried of response time and easy of use. As well as automatic startup when booted. [06:27] thanks dsnyders :) [06:27] nerves** [06:27] what do i have to edit in /boot/grub/grub.cfg so that grub will boot the first option ??? [06:27] Alan502, RDP is what I'd use, if you really don't wanna use RDP, any of the other will work fine. [06:27] sri, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KickstartCompatibility [06:27] anyone help get a USBhard drive enclosure recognized? [06:28] Kieran0413, thanks :) [06:28] what do i have to edit in grub.cfg so that grub will boot the first option ??? [06:28] eltume: look for the 'set default=0' line [06:28] move that section to the front of the grub.cfg [06:28] Kieran0413, Is there an RDP server for ubuntu? [06:28] rameez: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1220797 [06:29] rameez: Use than info to find the driver :) [06:29] iAmerikan: KDE looks cool, GNOME is commercial-grade solid, XFCE is light but full-featured, ****box is really light, there are a bunch of tiling managers for keyboard freaks, etc... just install a few side by side and try them [06:29] dsnyders: thanks... [06:29] dsnyders, He wanted to connect to the windows box from the linux one, which is why I suggested it. [06:29] sri, hope it helps [06:29] powertool thank you, i love you lol [06:29] yah [06:29] Kieran0413, Ah, missed that part. [06:29] when you install multiple, how do do you switch? [06:29] : thanks for the help dudes.. [06:29] Kieran0413, I want to do it the other way around: windows client, linux server. [06:29] through the login window iAmerikan [06:30] thanks [06:30] rameez: No problem :D [06:30] you can chose the type of session there [06:30] Ubuntu 9.10 netbook remix issue: the sound works fine, the only problem is when i play audio, it starts the output but I do not hear anything for like 5-10 seconds. acer aspire one. anyone else having this issue? anyone have a clue as to how to fix this? [06:31] I have a more serious issue, if anyone could possibly provide input? [06:31] dsnyders, Not a clue then but a quick google turned up xrdp [06:31] iAmerikan: please explain :) [06:32] roracle: You can hear sound after 5-10 seconds? [06:32] Well, I was on vista when I had ubuntu partitioned, but when I upgraded to 7 it switched from grub to the win boot manager, so now I can't access my partition [06:32] iAmerican: friendly warning, KDE and Gnome tend to be hard to uninstall, and litter each other's menus with random apps that duplicate functionality... you might have to go online to figure out how to remove one or the other [06:32] isolat3dsh33p: yes i can [06:32] looking for help getting a USB hard drive enclosure recognized... any help? [06:32] Kieran0413, Yeah, I saw that, but I haven't had an opportunity to test it. When I saw you mention RDP, I thought you might have some experience with it. [06:33] iAmerikan: yes ms will do that [06:33] iAmerikan, boot from the live cd and do a grub-install [06:33] I'm on the live cd now :D [06:33] <[psyk]> iAmerikan: Use a live disk (I use tinylinux on my usb) and use gparted to access the partition and move the space. That's just a quick fix. [06:33] iAmerikan: they don't like to share a PC with other OSes [06:33] iAmerikan: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [06:34] Hey I just installed the latest version of ubuntu and was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction on installing an configuring Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g wireless card [06:34] Are the broadcom cards still a pig then? :( === root_ is now known as Guest8892 [06:35] roracle: I'm not sure what's the problem. Sorry ;) [06:35] x1r3: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/internet/C/index.html [06:35] iAmerikan, It's probably too late, but perhaps you could run Windows in a virtual machine on top of Ubuntu, rather than dual booting. [06:35] ty [06:35] <[psyk]> x1r3: Excellent question. Let me find something for you... [06:36] iAmerikan: dual is fine as long as Grub handle it [06:36] Well dsnyders the only reason I wasn't using virtualbox to do so was because I have 1 computer game that i've been playing for years, and it's windows only [06:36] it's very strange that most of the problems i have no one has a clue about, lol [06:36] <[psyk]> x1r3: well it seems that juke beat me to it, if you still have issues drop me a PM [06:36] I want to test new versions of AWN in a virtual machine, but it requires compositing (like compiz)... any ideas on how to get this working? [06:36] iAmerikan, What is it, just out of pure curiosity? [06:36] IJJI's Gunz:The duel [06:36] psyk: One of the perks of having a jillion webpages open trying to solve my IPv6 problem ;) [06:36] x1r3: is your driver showing up under System/Administration/Hardware Drivers? if not install bcmwl-kernel-source from synaptic. [06:37] Not a well known game, started out in korea. :P [06:37] kazagistar, VirtualBox can to compiz (not "well" but it can do it) [06:37] iAmerikan: Have u possibly researched Wine functionality [06:37] II have [06:37] hi [06:37] i put on my robe and wizard hat! [06:37] <[psyk]> jukebox-zero: hahahah. yeah. [06:37] It's not compatible currently [06:37] iAmerikan: too bad, I remeber that game [06:37] ha ha ha harrrrrrr [06:37] <[psyk]> jukebox-zero, x1r3: I'll be right back, I have to reboot and move around some partition space :] [06:37] but if worse comes to worse I'll keep a 40 gb xp partition or something. [06:38] Is there a way to check my live cd version, and my partitions version - from the cd? [06:38] Good afternoon.. in xubuntu karmic volume always muted after reboot, and i need to scroll up the volume everytime i login. how can i fix this? thanks [06:38] iAmerikan: i have 7 installed for school work, XP installed for games, and Ubuntu installed for everything else [06:38] iAmerikan, cat /etc/lsb-release from terminal [06:38] it's a very good setup [06:39] yeah they show [06:39] iAmerikan, to check the livecd version, you'd have to mount your partition to check the installed version the same way [06:39] ZykoticK9: ok, cool... I don't need well, I just need enough to test code that requires compiz working, and KVM didn't cut it, it seems [06:39] roracle: you problem is... unique ;) [06:39] Pirating your neighbors wireless = Less glamourous than advertised. Taking over 20 min just to apt-get update. Why wired doesn't work... ??? [06:39] whenever i try to save my display configuration to the xorg.conf file from the nvidia x display manager, it says "failed to parse existing xorg.conf file." [06:40] hi all [06:40] Thanks Kieran0413 I'll just do a new installation of 9.10 because both are out of date and I believe are different versions [06:40] guys i am installed ubuntu 9.10 on my machine i have debain etch based apt-proxy when i add my aot proxy on my debain9.10 machine it hangs on apt-get update [06:40] isolat3dsh33p: what about sound not working at all? it's on a Dell Optiplex 330. I looked everywhere and tried everything i could get my hands on, and nothing works at all [06:41] isolat3dsh33p: i even took the advice to try installing 32 bit and it still doesn't work [06:41] how easy would it be to update from 8.10 to 9.10 on ubuntu? [06:41] well that was easy [06:42] iAmerikan: Pretty easy. But you'll need to upgrade 8.10 -> 9.04 and then 9.04 -> 9.10 [06:42] jukebox-zero: you can't just pirate the wireless, you have to make sure you hack the device to give you proper QoS(disclaimer: do not actually do this) [06:42] roracle: It depends on how many person use the hardware. More people use it, so more people experienced certain bug and eventually someone clever will fix it :) [06:43] iAmerikan: it might be faster and easier to just re-install, if you have a CD to spare [06:43] how do you start ubuntu from the command prompt? [06:43] does anyone know how to change the volume change interval when you use the keyboard? [06:43] hi all jemand im Zug unterwegs? [06:43] from bash [06:43] isolat3dsh33p: typical Intel audio...granted, we don't have speakers, but in Windows it uses the system speaker to output sound [06:44] kazagistar: Yeah, but I finally got the ndisgtk package pulled through. Just like another 18 hours to download the driver I need and I can hopefully use my own wireless. [06:44] kazagistar [06:44] alvorportugal: this channel is english only. If you want support in german, #ubuntu-de [06:44] y6i: explain... do you want to start the graphics, and only have a terminal? [06:44] kazagistar: er... Thinking since I can get their internet but not my own, I may have bigger issues. [06:45] kazagistar: no im at the prompt outside of ubuntu right now and i want to start ubuntu [06:45] how can you change the amount that the keyboard volume controls change? [06:45] like if i press up my volume goes up 5% [06:45] y6i: Do you mean the grub prompt? [06:46] how can i make it only go up 1% [06:46] Jordan_U: yes [06:46] y6i... what's your screen look like? like user@computer$ or do you see something else? [06:46] jukebox-zero: possibly, though you may just be missing wpa packages or something depending on the encryption you use [06:46] jukebox-zero: exactly [06:46] y6i: Is this a new install? === EastDallas is now known as mattwolfgang [06:46] Jordan_U: no im just having technical difficulties [06:47] y6i: try "startx" and tell us what happens? [06:47] no there is a command like teliterm 2 or something [06:47] i forgot what exactly it is [06:48] hello [06:48] Hi, Cubey [06:48] :) [06:48] y6i: try 'init 3' [06:48] y6i: telinit? [06:48] kazagistar: I'm just about ready to shut off all encryption and security, but I got N+mimo so I'm afraid to drape my entire neighborhood in wifi. All that's enabled is then WPA passkey. That's pretty lax security really. Can't imagine why 9.10 doesn't even *see* my SSID. [06:48] my computer has MMC/SD/MS PRO/etc slots and i accidentally unmounted the drives and they wont show up anymore. how do i make them show up without restarting the computer? [06:48] I'm having a bizare problem with the pesky nvidia driver (or perhaps a permissions/config file problem) [06:48] could not find kernel image: ks [06:49] i unmounted thru the GUI [06:49] when i am trying for kickstart installation [06:49] mind you, I've had flawless installs with other nvidia cards in other machines from the same CD :S [06:49] Jordan_U: yes that's what I meant but it's not working for some reason [06:49] Jordan_U: Background, y6i reset their root password earlier by booting into single user mode, another user told them to run telinit 2 to get back to the gui. [06:49] My computer will NOT wake up from hibernation, and I've even turned off hibernation and it still hibernates, forcing em to reset. Anyone know why this would happen and how to fix it? [06:50] hey guys, is it possible to boot from an sd card on a mbp? [06:50] kazagistar: and WPA + WPA2 is an option in my config settings for signing on the network. Can't imagine why it would know, but not know. Than again I did find out earlier Grub2 doesn't natively support booting from a ext4 partition earlier so hell, nothing has to make sense I guess. === mattwolfgang is now known as EastDallas [06:50] this time/this card, it refuses to stick to the resolution settings, even if I edit the dang xorg.conf myself and put in the modes I want, it still goes to 640x480 and wont let me select any higher. but if i screw around and reboot, sometimes it'll work, until I reboot again even if I change nothing.. [06:50] jukebox-zero: can you see the SSID from other computers? [06:50] how do i remount my MMC/SD/etc drive? [06:50] the conf files seem to remain unchanged then it decides to work, or stop working.. [06:50] please any body tell me where i can find backtrack room ?? [06:51] kazagistar, using it on this one, and was using it on the other box until I went from 7.* to 9.10 [06:51] jukebox-zero: GRUB2 does support ext4, who said it doesn't? [06:51] BT: #remote-exploit [06:51] Jordan_U the official ubuntu docs. [06:51] is this room or web [06:51] jordan_u could have been outdated though. sure didn't work on my box until I played with it. [06:51] I find it quite amusing that you're looking for backtrack details here :) [06:51] I first tried the newer driver. which gave this symptom so i changed to the older one... which "fixed" it until I rebooted... so i switched back to the newer and it fixed it, until i rebooted again :/ [06:51] jukebox-zero: Can you give a link so I can fix it if it's a wiki or file a bug report if not? [06:52] BT, you're in the ubuntu channel, join the backtrack channel with '/join #remote-exploit' [06:52] power thnx alot [06:52] Jordan_u ah... sure... lemme try. I know a google search for converting ext3 to ext4 pops it up. [06:52] y6i: If you run "reboot" your computer should reboot into the normal graphical system [06:53] Cubey: you get sorted? gksu nvidia-settings = change ya settings and save... merge or not? [06:53] hm, lemmie try that... [06:54] well, i have been doing that but with sudo [06:54] but the highest res it offers is 640x480 [06:54] !gksu [06:54] yet other times it has booted up to 1280 [06:54] Is there anyway to get the old sound applet back prior to karmic? Currently using karmic, and my PA is MESSED up. I had to kill pulseaudio to make my sound work proper, it hasn't glitched so far. Though, the volumes are still a little messed up [06:55] Maybe I'll just try OpenSuse [06:55] and see how that applet is [06:55] I have tried to then do the 'show preview' and change the 640x480 to 1024x768 and save it and reboot but it doesn't do a dang thing, it still loads in 640 [06:56] It's a shame though. This release is a pisser. :( [06:56] NoCode: Have you tried installing Pulse Alsa Mixer? Gives more volume controls [06:56] Cubey: whats ya card model/manuf [06:56] pulse alsa mixer? What? [06:56] nvidia [06:56] I don't remember who told me to look under system/admin/hardware drivers to look for my wireless card driver but thank you it works now lol didnt think it would be that easy. [06:56] hm, ok, now it's in 1024... i just did a restart of gdm. now lets try a real reboot.. [06:57] no worrys [06:57] NoCode: sorry Gnome Alsa Mixer [06:57] why people gives 'LTS' much priority.... now I am feeling like LTS is nothing but a simple old version of ubuntu!!!! [06:57] yep ok, now it shows me all the higher res's too [06:57] I am talking about hardy [06:57] Xfact: the LTS versions are designed to be more stable and last longer [06:57] Xfact: the current LTS *is* an old version of Ubuntu [06:57] Xfact: not to have the newest of everything [06:57] installing it now [06:58] Xfact: 10.10 will be the next LTS release [06:58] ardchoille: wasn't it 10.04? [06:58] lstarnes: Ah, you're right, the next lts will be 10.04 [06:58] good morning [06:58] Xfact, ardchoille: 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) is the next LTS, actually [06:59] NoCode: Home that helps...It def. helped me. Also, installing the Ubuntu Studio Audio package installs a bunch of great tools. [06:59] can anyone point me in the direction to get a tablet working under linux [06:59] 10.04 LTS [06:59] any idea why brasero doesn't burn ISO, but when I reboot it does? [06:59] it's a rebranded version of something else available only in india [06:59] istarnes: yes I know but lets talk about 8.04, it's 'stable' and 'last longer'!??! It's doing many problem in my PC that karmic overcoming..... [06:59] NoCode: but also a bunch of stuff you may not need. [06:59] EastDallas, What command do I get the gnome alsamixer working? [06:59] and aren't karmic stable and last longer....? confusing! [06:59] EastDallas, Yeah, I'm not going to install ubuntu studio packages [07:00] I just want to get my stuff working half decent [07:00] I installed an icon theme, Magog White v.10, and it works, but I cannot find where the .png files are to edit them. They are not in /usr/share/icons/ like the rest of the themes. Can anybody help me? [07:00] Xfact: they are only supported officially for 18 months [07:00] NoCode: it's under Applications>Sound and Video [07:00] Xfact: the LTS releases are supported for 3 years (5 years for servers) [07:00] Shwack: ~/.themes [07:00] Shwack: ~/.icons [07:00] ardchoille, thank you! [07:00] I switched to hardy (LTS) is something spacial...but it's noting :( [07:00] EastDallas, Thanks, also gnome-alsamixer works. :) [07:00] NoCode: from CLI gnome-alsamixer [07:00] Xfact, Of course newer packages will provide more features and get rid of some bugs but they can also introduce others, hence things like LTS [07:00] Xfact: and the regular releases are more likely to get mahjor changes that break things === | is now known as Guest51431 [07:00] *major [07:00] NoCode: excellent! [07:01] ok, i wrote another new xorg.conf ... now lets see how it reboots... [07:01] Xfact: LTS simply means security updates for a longer time, so you don't have to update as often (important for businesses)... normal releases get updated more, so more patches (other then security) make it in [07:01] Shwack: ~/.themes and ~/.icons are for the user who installed them. /usr/share/themes and /usr/share/icons are for system-wide use [07:02] hmm... seems to maybe be sticking now... [07:02] uh -herh [07:02] istarnes: 18 months enough..in that 18 months the next new version will release to provide you another 18 months support! [07:02] ardchoille, awesome - i found it and everything is perfect. thank you very much [07:02] Normal releases are based on debian unstable, LTS releases are based on debian testintg [07:03] Xfact, That's ok for desktop users, migration happens much slower in business land. [07:03] I should have switched to 9.10 as I m totally HOME user! [07:03] Xfact: I would recommend 9.04 over 9.10 [07:03] why 9.04... when .10 released! [07:04] !test [07:04] Xfact: it is more stable [07:04] 9.10 seems good. but i'm no expert ;) [07:04] bean: The bot isn't here [07:04] oh no! Ubottu is rly down! [07:04] Starting VirtualBox kernel module ...failed! [07:04] Xfact: and I have heard of many issues in 9.10 [07:04] ardchoille: i noticed [07:04] (modprobe vboxdrv failed. Please use 'dmesg' to find out why) [07:04] Xfact: alternatively, if you want something that is always up to date without needing to upgrade every 6 months, consider a "rolling relase" distribution such as arch, gentoo, or debian unstable [07:05] yay, i think finally the settings are sticking... [07:05] EastDallas, Oh man, I think this helped a lot. Was that PCM wasn't getting adjusted when using the other applets I wonder? [07:05] jordan_u: "Right now there's not a stable version of grub that supports booting a kernel from a ext4 partition. It's recommended that you keep /boot in a ext3 partition." [07:05] Which is great, until portage decides it doesn't like you and you spend half a day fixing it :D [07:05] jordan_u: http://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Ext4_Howto#Converting_an_ext3_filesystem_to_ext4 [07:05] any idea why brasero doesn't burn ISO, but when I reboot it does? [07:05] Istarnes: which version of ubuntu you use? [07:05] was it that* [07:05] Xfact: I was using 8.03 [07:05] I've rebooted it twice and it's still in 1024 and gives options for the higher res's [07:05] *8.04 [07:05] pidgin was swapped out for empathy in 9.10, which is worse in a LOT of ways (but at least it has video, yay!) [07:06] NoCode: NP. Glad I could help! [07:06] couldn't you just install pidgin instead? ;o [07:06] lstarnes: you were...or you still use 8.04? [07:06] Cubey: you can [07:06] Xfact: I was using it [07:06] Sure can, first thing I did was remove empathy. [07:06] Xfact: but I switched to arch a couple weeks ago [07:06] cause I am totally not happy with 8.04 :( [07:07] NoCode: I installed an old audigy card I had laying around a few weeks ago, and had to install Gnome Alsamixer to get it to work properly. [07:07] ooh [07:07] Xfact: why not? [07:07] Xfact: I'm using 9.04 and I love it [07:07] lstarnes: it's doesn't support many progs and it's like 'unstable' to me :( [07:07] EastDallas, hmm, this is on a laptop. I've always had problems with 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) [07:07] Xfact: how is it being unstable? [07:07] in karmic anyway [07:07] ardchoille: I know, i was being sarcastic ;) [07:08] kazagistar: pidgin can be reinstalled and has mic and cam now.... but stay with empathy... or not [07:08] others not so much. It's why I ran Debian for a while [07:08] NoCode: I can't get the mic to work on my laptop at all since upgrading to Karmic. [07:08] lstarnes: like, after installation...some program is no working or closing unexpectedly in middle of usage... etc... [07:08] EastDallas, Join the club, I've even resorted to installing the latest alsa drivers from source, no dice [07:09] EastDallas, =\ [07:09] EastDallas: did you check if the mic is muted? [07:10] Kieran0413: I never use the mic on my laptop, so no big deal, just means I have to use my desktop when recording music. It sounds better with the better soundcard anyway. :p [07:10] nastas: def. not muted [07:10] my laptop isn't able to detect the battery i don't think, but it was able to before i put the computer to sleep. [07:10] I wonder if there's a way to use my volume keys on my laptop with the PCM slider [07:10] NoCode: they work on mine right out of the box [07:11] hmm, mine usually do too. Actually, i should re-enable them to see if that's what they adjust in karmic. I had to disable them because it was too loud when they adjusted. [07:11] EastDallas: you checked in sound preferences or in alsamixer? [07:11] nastas: I' [07:12] hmm, k. When adjusting the volume it uses the master slider. [07:12] EastDallas: ? 1 min or the first a told you? [07:12] nvm, no it doesn't [07:12] nastas: I've done everything you could possibly think of...I've just resolved that this is just one of the problems that goes with Karmic sound. [07:12] how do i mount my SD/MMC drive? [07:12] i have ubuntu 9.10, sorry i didn't mention that before. [07:13] i dont know how to find out where it is, how does it get automatically mounted on bootup? [07:13] maybe I'll ask you guys to help me out with more stuff after the version update :D [07:13] nastas: I was just relating my frustration to other people with sound problems....I've done hours of troubleshooting on it. [07:13] it uses both. :| [07:13] hi, svn keeps asking for my GNOME keyring [07:14] I didn't even know I had one [07:14] EastDallas: in my case the mic wasn't showed muted in sound preferences but it was muted in alsa mixer [07:14] nastas: the first thing I did was install gnome-alsamixer. Didn't help [07:14] I'll go right out and say it... sound is the weakest part of the linux stack [07:14] EastDallas: did you check in a terminal alsamixer? (i guess you allready have) [07:15] kazagistar, Indeed, the only thing I ever really have issue with, hardware wise. [07:15] I have a stupid easy one. [07:15] nastas: Like I said, not really interested in resolving...just telling others that I also had issues with sound in Karmic. [07:15] Kieran0413: how about graphics? [07:15] How do I exit a man page? [07:15] Crash2108: q [07:15] Crash2108: q [07:15] EastDallas: ok [07:15] Crash2108: LOL [07:15] isolat3dsh33p, not really, the nv and ati drivers are much better than they used to be. [07:16] Crash2108: q [07:16] Kieran0413: it is really nasty on the developer side too :/ [07:16] I've had issues with sound on my Nokia Booklet 3G with Karmic. Sometimes when I boot it just doesn't work. Rebooting makes it work., Pretty random. [07:16] anyone able to help with svn? >.< [07:16] Kieran0413: True actually. So sound it is [07:17] domino14: is it onboard card reader? [07:17] nastas: yes it is, it's built into the computer, i accidentally unmounted it thru the GUI [07:17] kazagistar, I can imagine. [07:18] what gui? [07:18] after a recent upgrade I find ktorrent unable to connect to any trackers [07:18] nastas: graphical user interface [07:18] sparr: i would completely remove it, and reinstall it [07:18] Is anyone running beryl that can help me get it installed and running. [07:18] sparr, have you checked the ports are unchanged and if they are, make sure you've forwarded it? [07:18] Didn't beryl go away years ago, x1r3? [07:19] x1r3: I think it's deprecated [07:19] beryl legacy believe [07:19] i think it did too but i just found it lol [07:19] x1r3: It's compiz-fusion now [07:19] i have it [07:19] themes ae hard to come by [07:19] x1r3, just enable visual effects and install compizsettings-manager, you get all the flashiness :) [07:19] x1r3: you just found an artifact! [07:19] ty [07:20] isolat3dsh33p: thank you but i know what gui is :) i ment which gui application he was using. (like disk utility) [07:20] i just want to be able to switch windows and cools stuff like i saw its stupid of me to want that but i think it looks cool [07:20] nastas: lol [07:20] isolat3dsh33p: :) [07:20] x1r3, Yeah, you get the same thing from Visual effects, they're pretty conservative by default but you can enable plugins via compiz settings manager [07:21] domino14: tell me what application you used to unmound the card [07:21] m [07:21] nastas: the default GUI that comes with ubuntu, i believe it is gnome? [07:21] x1r3, (which is in System -> preferences -> Appearance -> Visual Effects, in case you haven't found it) [07:21] i just right clicked [07:21] domino14: oh ok [07:21] nastas: maybe nautilus is it? [07:21] sudo apt-get update && apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [07:21] in this room anybody else using 8.04 LTS except me? [07:22] Xfact: Many people are [07:22] x1r3: it looks cool, and the only way to convince someone how useless most of it is is to use it for a while... only thing I use it for is the "Show all windows" shortcut and because AWN requires it [07:22] domino14: so so far the sd card was able to mount-unmount? [07:22] Xfact: I have a server that is [07:22] The only thing I find really useful in compiz is altering window transparency with the scroll wheel [07:22] ooh correction = sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [07:22] kazagistar: but I like the wobble [07:22] Saves switching windows to useless conversations and makes reading while doing other things easier :) [07:23] flannel: I have doubt, there are 1298 people in this room currently, only 2 people respond! [07:23] nastas: the drive itself seemed to mount when i booted up, then i put in a card, and the light lit up, so i tried to double click on the SD/MMC/etc icon and nothing happens when i double click [07:23] so i clicked unmount and it went away and now wont come back, the light on the drive wont light up anymore [07:23] Xfact: that's normal :) [07:24] isolat3dsh33p: all the distortions are done with raster graphics and look terrible, imho [07:24] domino14: please paste in pastebin the output of the command lspci -vv [07:24] isolat3dsh33p: yes...because only very few people using 8.04 LTS with me.... [07:24] Xfact: Not, really. If you stay longer, you'll find more friends. :) [07:24] Horrible! I have to change...my version and I have lots data in 8.04, what shpuld I do? :( [07:25] any one works on ubuntu 9.10 [07:25] is there any way to paste output in pastebin directly thru terminal [07:25] i installed now i want to update it through my debain etch apt-proxy [07:25] Xfact: in my desctop i made a step by step upgrade to 9.04 [07:25] Ok anybody using Ubuntu 9.04 or 9.10 in this room? [07:25] it hangs [07:25] Xfact: most of the people in this room are not paying any attention to what is going on [07:25] kazagistar: looks fine with me. :) [07:25] kazagistar: true. [07:25] Xfact, this is why it's a good idea to have your /home on a separate partition, for future reference [07:26] Xfact: you can preserve your home when installing [07:26] Should I remove pulseaudio in karmic? [07:26] Kieran0413: I don't knew the idea when I installed so now having problem :( [07:26] NoCode: No, unless you want to [07:26] can i install ubuntu 9.10 and 8.04 in a same partition? [07:26] NoCode: for what? [07:26] Xfact: in my case i didn't lost any data but it still little bit risky. that's why Kieran0413 is right. seperate /home partition is the best [07:26] I think that will totally mess up! [07:27] nastas: http://pastebin.com/m4983f54f [07:27] Well, I'm not using pulseaudio now anyway. I've killed it, and just using alsa at the moment [07:27] NoCode: You mean « killall pulseaudio » ? [07:27] Xfact: my usual strategy is to save the entire filesystem to my external hard drive (having a backup is always good) and then grab back whatever folders I need from there after installing [07:27] Xfact: the install cd allows ya to resize partitions... [07:28] what's going on, I wasn't paying any attention... [07:28] can i install ubuntu 9.10 and 8.04 in a same partition? (I think it's very bad idea, cause for having common folders it'll mess everything up!) [07:28] Xfact: if ya wanna resize try gparted live [07:28] isolat3dsh33p, yes [07:28] Xfact: back up [07:28] ok only HOMe needed to be backed up? [07:28] I run Jaunty, since Karmic doesn't play well with my computer, and i need a VPN-client that supports one time passwords (OTP). I came across this http://blog.cyphermox.net/2008/10/call-for-testing-network-manager-vpnc.html and tried to install via his PPA, but it requires gtk 2.17+ which i don't have installed. Are there any other way in which i can get this installed, like from backports? Is there OTP-support in the net [07:28] work-manager in karmic? [07:29] Xfact you may be able to resize and squeeze in another..... but put it after the other ubuntu [07:29] Xfact: indeed, it is a bad idea... you could update, though [07:29] cryingfreeman, it's for network-manager, so I doubt it'll be much help without gtk [07:30] NoCode: it should be restarted. « pidof -x pulseaudio » should give you some numbers ;) [07:30] kazagistar: you can understand reaching 9.10 from 8.04 is a long way! [07:30] isolat3dsh33p: can you do me a favor? check domino14's link in pastebin. i don't see the mass storage nowhere. it should be there right? [07:30] kazagistar: 8.10>9.04 then 9.10! (looong update)! [07:31] Xfact: true... you could wait until 10.4 in 4 months... then there will be a direct update path [07:31] Anyone here ever use GPSd? [07:31] keiran0413: that much i understand, ;) I just wonder if there is any way of getting OTP in network-manager without upgrading to karmic? [07:31] test [07:32] cryingfreeman, Apologies, I misunderstood you. [07:32] keiran0413: or if it even has OTP-support in the karmic version of network manager.. [07:32] im trying to get my wireless card working with the atheros chipset following the instructions on madwifi wiki, Im trying to apt-get the linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r) but apt cant find the package. Is this package not available anymore for karmic? [07:32] kazagistar: but I also think, when 10.04 will out in directly updating then is also a bad idea, cause for having very first release ​it may have lots of bug! [07:32] kieran0413: no worries. i was a bit vague.. :) [07:33] nastas: thanks for looking into it. maybe since i unmounted it it went away? [07:34] Xfact: 9.10 has only been out for 2 months... Ubuntu tends to be decently stable straight after beta [07:34] nastas: i think it should be « fdisk -l » [07:35] techgeek: in your software sources you might not have checked the restricted and multiverse [07:35] kazagistar: 9.10 is just a beta for 10.04 ;) [07:35] Xfact: Please take non-support related chatter to #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks. [07:35] isolat3dsh33p, haha it did. :D [07:36] Anyway, I need to go sleep. [07:36] isolat3dsh33p: i mean the device. not the card. the card is not mounted. but i can't see the mass storage section [07:36] kazagistar: I can't say 9.10 is totally stable yet, because many people having some problem with it heard, I am also having some! [07:36] !test === tyro is now known as iGnome [07:36] nastas: I'm not sure then ;) [07:36] Flannel is the new ubottu! [07:36] isolat3dsh33p: ok [07:37] Flannel: I apologise, but I think you should look at my conversation carefully...I am talking about 'support' [07:37] techgeek: still out there? : [07:37] the main and restricted sources are checked [07:37] anyone know of a gui app that throttles the badwidth of virtual hosts, users, leechers, etc? like a linux version of zonealarm [07:38] Xfact: You can wait for a few months (or a year even) after 10.04 is released to upgrade, you don't have to do it right away. === lookmee_ is now known as lookmee [07:39] Ferrenrock, You'd probably be best googling for an iptables gui [07:39] Kieran0413: I've been looking for one [07:39] Ferrenrock check out FIREHOL ! [07:39] star3am: what's that? [07:40] Herro [07:40] firewall, using iptables, but simplified, it's really awesome ! [07:40] firehol.sourceforge.net [07:40] star3am: does it show like all existing connections at once? [07:40] Hi accedently removed my top pannel and I cant get all the stuff back , How can I get sound and the network connections back ? [07:40] I enabled the 3d bow in compiz but it doesnt work how do i enable 3d graphics [07:40] How do I expose the HDD's accelerometer? [07:41] or at least tell me which one takes up the most? [07:41] for that you'd have to use netstat -l or something like ntop :) [07:41] star3am: ntop? [07:42] network top, with rrd graphs and charts about connections and ports on your machine [07:43] star3am: that's what I'm thinking of. Is there an app that has that integrated with other firewall apps? [07:43] Ferrenrock, You'd probably just have to create your firewall rules based on that. [07:44] uhm, trying to think of the name of this one live CD [07:44] Why does my ubuntu sometimes freeze? [07:44] star3am: something like backtrack? [07:44] Crash2108, That's a little ambiguous [07:45] I know. Is there a way to know? Troubleshooting? It's pretty random. [07:45] Ferrenrock, back track is a pentesting distro, you'd probably be looking at something like smoothwall or pfsense === iGnome is now known as tyro [07:45] But it might have something to do with my Globetrotter GSM HSo drivers. [07:45] I saw this live CD once, I think it was a google project, that is firewall and gateway in one [07:46] Kieran0413: ah ok [07:46] got like red and gray rrd graphs, but i cannot remember the name, it was awesome though [07:46] star3am: can you remember anything like it? [07:47] hold on, let me phone a friend [07:47] I attempted to make a personal repository on my computer using the tut located here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Personal. However, the command "update-mydebs" does not work. Could someone take a quick look, and maybe figure out why? === tyro is now known as iGnome [07:49] pfsense ! [07:49] Ferrenrock: I use DDWRT on my router for QoS... probably not an option for you, though [07:49] http://www.pfsense.org/ check that out dude, it's really, REALLY awesome [07:49] Lostinspace_46: what exaclty you mean it doesn't work? is there any error? === iGnome is now known as wowoto [07:50] Ferrenrock, just to clarify, you'd have to run it as your gateway/router on a spare machine, probably isn't what you're looking for. [07:50] nastas> Oops, sorry, yes it says command not found [07:50] Anyone experienced with Openoffice Math? My formulas aren't display the results. For example, =(19+17)% will display as is and not the result, however if I copy and paste that cell in to another application, the result comes out. === wowoto is now known as tyro [07:50] star3am: wow [07:50] damn [07:50] this is good [07:51] fivetwentysix: OpenOffice Math doesn't calculate [07:51] err the spreadsheet [07:51] What is 'Universe'? is that any supporting file for ubuntu? === JCLord is now known as Johnnyboy1 [07:51] :) nice one ! dude, ya it's simple and very effective, just run that on your gateway box, and marvel at the open source genious [07:51] Xfact, it's a repository for installing software [07:51] How do I add somebody else's public signature so I can send them encrypted PGP mail? I just created my key. [07:51] Lostinspace_46: did you do exactly what the how to say? [07:51] hey guys need some help. i'm dual booting xp and ubuntu. when it comes to the startup screen which asks to pick OS, it doesnt recognize my wireless keyboard [07:51] kieran: thanks .... [07:52] so it always boots into ubuntu by default [07:52] nastas> Twice, actually [07:52] Hi I downloaded a theme for emerald theme manager and imported it. I double click it and the theme doesnt change. Anyone help me out? [07:52] star3am: alright I'll check this out [07:52] thanks [07:52] is there any way i can restart into windows once im at the ubuntu desktop? [07:52] np [07:52] Jkessler: I meant Calc [07:52] Lostinspace_46: while doing this (twice) did you get any error? [07:52] CorpX, that's likely just a product of using the wireless keyboard, some are a bit funky and don't act as a simple HID device so you need to boot for them to be recognised [07:52] check out Sun Virtualbox (Y) [07:52] How do I add somebody else's public signature so I can send them encrypted PGP mail? I just created my key. [07:53] nastas> only when I run "update-mydebs [07:53] CorpX, ie, not much you can do about it. [07:53] Ferrenrock: yeah, BSD tends to have slick networking, including networking security and features that are missing in the linux kernel [07:53] can anyone help me out? [07:53] so once in ubuntu, is there any way to make the next reboot go into windows? [07:53] fivetwentysix: are your cells formatted correctly? [07:54] star3am, its an old pc so i dont think it could handle virtualization [07:54] Hi I downloaded a theme for emerald theme manager and imported it. I double click it and the theme doesnt change. Anyone help me out? [07:54] kazagistar, ie a firewall that isn't a giant pain in the rear end :D going from pf to iptables is....disturbing :D [07:54] Jkessler: What do you mean? Doing default formatting doesn't change anything. [07:54] I am trying to enable "extra" in Appearance Preferences but it wont enable can anyone help me out or point me in the right direction? [07:54] Jkessler: Except the appearance. [07:54] fivetwentysix> Did you make sure to get ALL the files for Office? I believe the repos doesn't have them all [07:55] Hi I downloaded a theme for emerald theme manager and imported it. I double click it and the theme doesnt change. Anyone help me out? [07:55] fivetwentysix> Like calc-base [07:55] x1r3, check your graphic driver. [07:55] Lostinspace_46: Yes, it calculated before but then I changed some background colors and formatting stuff and it won't calculate my forumulas now [07:55] fivetwentysix: no, i mean you can format the cells to show dates, currency, text, number [07:55] fivetwentysix: it could be formatted to text when you want number possibly? i don't know what else it would be [07:56] fivetwentysix> Ahh, then listen to jkessler :) [07:56] Does anyone know how to copy non-printable characters to the clipboard? [07:56] Does anyone know how to copy non-printable characters to the clipboard using gtk c/c++?

[08:03] KCachegrind complains about kghostview not being installed when I try to export a graph as EPS. There seems to be no package for kghostview. I am on Ubuntu 9.10. [08:03] plustax2: You aren't guarenteed help, if people know the answer to your question they will give it. Repeating it more often than one every 5 minutes or so will just annoy people [08:04] I asked a new question just now. [08:04] plustax2: Sure, just drag the theme into System > Preferences > Appearance [08:04] hi all. I just installed 9.04 minimal and it did not properly create a grub entry. Anyone know what steps I'd need to take in order to fix this? [08:04] Jordan_U, whats the theme file? Usually I just DL a tar ball. Just drag and drop it in there? [08:05] Gumby: Try "sudo update-grub" [08:05] plustax2: Yes [08:05] Jordan_U, thank you si [08:05] r [08:05] plustax2: np [08:06] plustax2: that's not a Metacity theme [08:07] is there a difference between "Try Ubuntu without installing" and "Install Ubuntu" when starting from the disc? They both seem to load the GUI. [08:07] mneptok, I know that was an emerald theme but I cant get it working [08:07] Meshezabeel: the one starts the installer, the other the desktop [08:07] :/ [08:07] plustax2: have you installed Emerald and told GNOME to use it instead of Metacity? [08:07] Jordan_U, I tried dropping this metacity theme into the appearance and it gave me the following http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2066611/Screenshot.png [08:07] Menshezabeel: ofcourse.. :D [08:07] plustax2: that's not a Metacity theme [08:07] mneptok, hmm I have installed emerald but where do I go to tell gnome to use it instead? [08:07] (x2) === iGhost is now known as iKernel [08:08] plustax2: a terminal [08:08] fivetwentysix: i found openoffice's config files in ~/.openoffice.org try 'mv ~./openoffice.org ./~openoffice.bak' [08:08] Think you can rustle up a command for me? I'm really new to linux :/ [08:08] MASARUwota: okay, I thought the Install option also started the desktop [08:08] then try opening a spreadsheet and see if it works [08:08] Under the desktop option, there also is the Installer icon on the desktop [08:09] Jkessler: oh sorry, i solved it by restarting the application [08:09] oh, ok. [08:09] plustax2: [08:09] Re: Compiz with Emerald / Metacity in Gutsy [08:09] Gerontius [08:09] The command field on the picture you just posted is where you choose your window manager.. [08:09] mneptok: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:09] To use emerald simply add: [08:09] gah [08:09] Meshezabeel: yeah, but with INSTALL you dont get GNOME loading, which improves performance [08:09] afaik [08:09] mneptok, I pmed you [08:10] plustax2: emerald --replace [08:10] lol mneptok XD [08:10] thats it? then what to do to go back to metacity? same thing? === doneill_ is now known as doneill [08:10] is it a good idea to install emerald btw?

Why do they left it btw? [08:12] mneptok, terminal has to be running in order to use emerald? [08:12] plustax2: no [08:12] I did emerald replace and it switched my theme to what I wanted. I xed out of terminal and it made my window borders disappear altogether. [08:13] hw shld i mount Windows Folders?? [08:13] so I changed back to metacity, and now I try to do it again and terminal just sits there and doesnt replace anymore. [08:13] isolat3dsh33p: No idea, probably the main developer just moved on to something else, it happens a lot unfortunately [08:13] plustax2: log out and back in [08:13] ok [08:13] nostrovia [08:14] how does one pronounce metacity? is it: met-ass-ity or meta-city ? [08:14] Jordan_U, it'll be cool if the continue with the thing though. :/ [08:14] me-TASS-ity [08:14] thanks mneptok [08:14] Пожалуйста [08:14] O_O [08:14] hello [08:14] mneptok, I did and it changed itself back to metacity [08:14] I need help [08:15] I have screen tearing, anybody knows how to fix it? [08:15] isolat3dsh33p: I think there will be a new decorator with compiz 0.9 ( which is a complete rewrite in C++ ) [08:15] I tried to install different drivers (ati, fglrx) [08:15] afroman: What graphics card? [08:16] I tried to enable v-sync [08:16] still nothing [08:16] ati mobility hd 3470 === militant is now known as militant[game] [08:16] So GRUB didn't install correctly, can I still somehow boot into my system? I'm on RAID and upon choosing to not install a bootloader, it gave me a command line option (path=...) to boot with... Where do I put this? [08:16] afroman: Unfortunatly most drivers don't currently support sync to vblank [08:17] Jordan_U: I noticed [08:17] mneptok, any ideas man? [08:17] It just sent me back into metacity [08:18] mneptok, if you think you can help me man Ill give you VNC information [08:18] Jordan_U: but in the meantime, how can I fix it? [08:18] Jordan_U, I'm more exited for gnome 3. But gnome-shell doesn't really impress me. :( [08:18] afroman: Have you tried disabling compiz? [08:18] hey [08:19] adamonline45: What error do you get when you try to install grub? [08:19] !hi|charles__ [08:19] if U mean the apperances, yes I put them to normal [08:19] hi [08:19] splustax2_: try "gtk-window-decorator --replace" [08:19] no fancy moves [08:19] whats with ubottu today D: [08:19] !test [08:19] its dead, isnt (s)he [08:19] MASARUwota: it's a she [08:19] it is [08:20] mneptok, that made everything move for a sec and now its stuck at the next line [08:20] Jordan_U: unless there is another way to disable compiz? [08:20] didnt give me confirmation of the action [08:20] MASARUwota, it is... :( [08:20] D: [08:20] he [08:20] i loved her D: === kb is now known as Guest7132 [08:20] afroman: No, that's it [08:20] anyone help me. [08:20] splustax2_: log out and back in [08:20] VivekRp: please state your question. [08:20] afroman: Would you say it's abnormally bad tearing? [08:20] afroman, 'metacity --replace' does the job. [08:21] ok [08:21] guys i can access the bios using my wireless keyboard, but i cant navigate the ubuntu OS prompt with it [08:21] hw should i mount win drives on Ubuntu 8.10 ?? [08:21] Anyone her ever use GpS? [08:21] jors [08:21] Are you THE afroman? [08:21] VivekRp, sure if you want to [08:22] Jordan_U: not terrible but still annoying [08:22] CorpX: well, i guess thats possible, it hasnt done a proper modprobe yet at that moment. please use a normal keyboard aswell, and use the "try ubuntu" method, see if it works in a fully started environment [08:22] afroman, just install the right driver from ati website :) [08:22] VivekRp, just click it in nautilus for automounting [08:23] and remove fglrx? [08:23] my X screen is blank [08:23] im not getting any sound [08:23] Jordan_U: Oh my, I'm not sure anymore... But I know it said failed to install to hda0 or something similar, and I'm using raid so I feel like it should've been /dev/mapper/.../ [08:23] sry im a noob [08:23] I can't connect with wifi [08:23] CorpX: Does your wireless keyboard use bluetooth or a USB adaptor ( BTW, it's a bug in your BIOS most likely since it should provide access to the keyboard to grub, but if it's a usb keyboard you can also tell grub to try to acess it directly ) [08:23] whats the try ubuntu method? [08:23] never mind, I fixed my X screen [08:23] isolat3dsh33p: shall I remove fglrx? [08:23] never mind, I fixed my sound [08:23] afroman, the one from ati website is fglrx aswell, but the one in the Hardware Drivers is outdated [08:23] never mind, I fixed my wifi [08:23] mneptok [08:23] okay I logged out and back in and did emerald --replace [08:23] It changed it. But it didnt confirm yet again. Would you like a screenshot to show you what I mean? I fear if I exit terminal that its going to disappear again [08:24] plustax: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:24] CorpX: choose the first option when starting from the CD [08:24] Jordan_U: since it's like my eighth install of the night, and have yet to have it succeed, I just clicked through it to skip the installation of a bootloader... [08:24] isolat3dsh33p: oooo... [08:24] oh [08:24] its already installed [08:25] isolat3dsh33p: so remove fglrx from hardware drivers, then install the ati driver from the ati website? [08:25] adamonline45: Try following this guide and pastebin any error you get if it doesn't work http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide [08:25] You're not the real afroman, are you? [08:25] afroman, yes :) [08:25] Crash2108: no but I got high [08:25] CorpX, it doesnt work in ubuntu, AT ALL? [08:26] good morning [08:26] CorpX: is it a microsoft keyboard by any chance???

[08:26] Is anyone here good with themes? === joseph is now known as Guest20858 [08:26] plustax: I have written a number of themes for gtk/metacity and am writingone now [08:26] isolat3dsh33p: that's the thing, as I have mobility it's kind of hard to get the right driver from ati website [08:27] ardchoille could I pm you please? [08:27] http://tinysong.com/6Wrw [08:27] afroman, what's you card? [08:27] plustax: Sure [08:27] CorpX: is it a microsoft keyboard by any chance??? [08:27] Jordan_U: Alright, I'll do that. However, i have a 9.10 server and a 9.10 alternate install, neither with a live CD option when I boot from them... Do I need the desktop iso? [08:27] isolat3dsh33p: ati mobility hd 3470 [08:27] medan [08:28] isolat3dsh33p: radeon [08:28] how can i change the GDM background image at login time? [08:28] afroman, 32 or 64 bit? [08:28] i googled like several days and can't figure... [08:28] adamonline45: You just need to be able to connect to the internet, mount, and chroot ( all of which you can do through the alternate and server install CD's it's just a little less straight foreward ) [08:28] isolat3dsh33p: I have ubuntu x86_64 [08:30] afroman: Try enabling ati kernel mode setting [08:30] Jordan_U: how do I do that? [08:30] afroman, go to http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx ->Linux x86_64 -> Mobility Radeon -> Mobility Radeon HD 3000 Series. Read the release notes to see whether your card is listed. And if yes, install and have fun ;) [08:30] CorpX [08:30] is it a microsoft keyboard CorpX? [08:31] isolat3dsh33p: what about xorg.conf, do I change anything? [08:32] afroman: Add "radeon.modeset=1" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub then run "sudo update-grub" and reboot ( you need to be using the "ati" driver for this to work and X may fail to start so be sure you know how to undo it from the terminal ) [08:32] how can I get ubuntu to login without asking for a password? [08:33] Jonhnnyboy: System > Administration > Login Screen [08:33] afroman, you don't have to afaik. Just run « sh ati-driver-installer-x-x-x86.64.run » There will be a gui dialog :) [08:33] isolat3dsh33p: do I remove first the old fglrx? [08:34] Jordan_U: cheers big ears [08:34] Jordan_U: I think I can change a line or 2 in terminal [08:34] Jordan_U: but what is that line for? [08:35] afroman, if i remember correctly, the ati installer will automatically remove the previous fglrx. But you can remove it, but don't remove the package. You could use it in the future. [08:35] *completely remove [08:35] ok [08:36] thx [08:36] afroman: It changes what kernel parameters are passed at boot. radeon.modeset=1 enables kernel mode setting, which will give you full resolution tty, ability to use 3D apps with compiz without flickering and other problems and may help the tearing ( but I'm not sure how likely that is ) [08:37] Jordan_U: that line, why put it in grub? [08:37] afroman, np. :) [08:39] afroman: Grub is the bootloader, it's what loads and passes parameters to the kernel. So if you want to add a kernel parameter ( like radeon.modeset=1 ) you do that in grub [08:40] ok [08:40] afroman: You can also get to the grub menu by holding shift at boot and add readeon.modeset=1 for just one boot by pressing "e" to edit the menu entry [08:40] i have a small problem... i just installed ubuntu and for some reason my wireless will connect and work fine for a few sec then it drops to almost no speed ... 4500 bps ... very slow and i have chedcked the network its fine all other computers are fine just the new laptop ubuntu is droping off to no speed [08:40] afroman: That way if it fails you can just reboot and nothing will have been permanently changed [08:41] Jordan_U: I'm going to try ur idea 1st [08:41] thx [08:41] Hello guys. [08:41] hi iAmerikan [08:42] I messed something up :\ [08:42] how can I fix the Fn Key for Brightness in Lenovo G410 laptop?? [08:42] what did you messup iAmerikan [08:43] anyone have problems with transmission causing ubuntu to freeze? [08:43] skydrome: freeze? as in, nothing works except your mouse? [08:43] correct [08:44] skydrome: that doesnt have to do with transmission :X [08:44] bad hardware or bad drivers create those problems [08:44] hi there everybody [08:44] happy new year :p happy new bug -.- [08:44] im getting a freeze every 2 days, because i have an old HD :X === militant[game] is now known as militant[ff8] [08:44] well, i uninstalled transmission and its completely fine now [08:44] skydrom: O.o [08:44] c0l2e: what needs to be fixed? did the key come off? [08:45] lol [08:45] jordan_U: I doubt it's going to work as the driver installed is fglrx [08:45] I'm not sure what I did, but when I restarted, I got a message saying "mountall: symbol lookup error: mountall: undefined symbol: udev_monitor_filter_add_match_subsystem_devtype init:mountall main process (424) terminated with status 127 [08:45] skydrome: Was it using a lot of RAM? [08:45] not that i noticed [08:45] just randomly, everything would stop responding [08:45] iAmerikan: do you have weird entries in your fstab? D: [08:46] skydrome: well, consider transmission is hammering your net interface; if there was a rare bug in the net driver, then running transmission would make it show up more often. [08:46] fstab can't be found on live cd [08:46] my problem: juat updated to new kernel -17 i think and i installed virtualbox 3.1 before.... after reboot nvidia didnt work.. reinstalled... then now my graphics work again but ... wlan no more -.- any suggestions? restarted networking + network-manager .... dunno whats going on now! [08:46] afroman: Correct, if you want to try kernel mode setting you have to remove fglrx ( and any reference to it in /etc/X11/xorg.conf ) [08:46] is fstab my brain for mounting during boot? [08:47] Jkessler: on 9.04 it works Fn + Up Arrow key for inc brightness and Fn + Down arrow for decrease [08:47] or the brain [08:47] rfm, that could be. I switched to using rtorrent and have the net at full throttle up/down and no problems [08:47] Jkessler: now in 9.10 it doesn't work anymore [08:47] PyjamaSpank sort of [08:47] c0l2e: Do you see the brigtness bar / icon on the screen when you hit those keys? [08:47] Jordan_U: and if I remove it what driver should I install? [08:47] is that the only place that is looked at during boot? [08:47] Jordan_U: not anymore [08:48] yay works [08:48] it was capturing \r :( [08:48] thanks naktibalda [08:48] c0l2e: did you do an upgrade to 9.10 from 9.04? [08:48] (^http://.*)(?:\r\n|\n|\r)?$ [08:48] afroman: "ati", but it's already installed. You can just run without an xorg.conf and it will use ati ( it's the default ) [08:48] i'm having trouble with "./" in terminal. i'm trying to use it to install nightly builds of thunderbird and instantbird. It keeps telling me "exec: 394: ./thunderbird-bin: not found" [08:48] Jkessler: fresh install [08:48] i probably don't need \r\n|\n :S [08:49] i have no idea.. it works fine on my inspiron 1525. [08:49] fn+up/down [08:49] Prescience5001: Are you using 64 bit Ubuntu? [08:49] current kernel is 2.6.31-17-generic [08:49] yeah [08:49] if I'm moving a drive from NTFS to EXT, is fstab the only place i need to look to mess about with the settings? [08:49] and it is a 32 bit binary [08:49] is that the problem? [08:49] Prescience5001: Then you need to install 32 bit libraries [08:50] Prescience5001: Yes [08:50] Jkessler: in most lenovo not working now, g400, g410 [08:50] c0l2e: looks like it's a known bug [08:50] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/484047 [08:50] and similar lenovo laptop with fn+Up/Down [08:50] Prescience5001: At least if there is in fact a ./thunderbird-bin [08:50] Jkessler: not fix yet? [08:50] there is [08:51] c0l2e: doesn't look like it [08:51] Jkessler: oh ok [08:51] Jordan_U: so if I remove the fglrx in hardware drivers, the ati driver will kick in then I can try that line? [08:51] anyway minor only.. but functional for me [08:51] my problem: just updated to new kernel -17 i think and i installed virtualbox 3.1 before.... after reboot nvidia didnt work.. reinstalled... then now my graphics work again but ... wlan no more -.- any suggestions? restarted networking + network-manager .... dunno whats going on now! [08:51] afroman: Yes [08:51] what do u mean by installing 32 bit libraries? [08:52] Prescience5001: what does "ldd ./thunderbird-bin" say? [08:52] Jordan_U: I can try that [08:53] "not a dynamic executable" [08:53] hello gy [08:53] n*guys [08:53] c0l2e: i found this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting [08:53] need some help how to set up brother mcf 490 cw in my unbentu please guide [08:53] afroman: The more I think about it, the more I think you should edit it temporarily in the grub menu to be safe [08:53] Jkessler: i'll check that .. thanks [08:54] Hi haresh!

Anyone around I can ask about a problem I'm having with "Compiled LPGM Scripts"?

[09:22] from the recovery mode [09:22] <|_ocke> that's a lot of people competing for responses [09:22] ? [09:22] jgcampbell300: giving a bit more info about your problem is highly helpful in getting help [09:22] |_ocke: ...or doing the responding as opposed to looking for help [09:22] but youre right, its probably 1300 ignoring it [09:22] DarkSmoke: If you can get to the recovery mode without getting the same error, yes [09:23] yes i can get into the recovery mode [09:23] even after that error it goes directly to the recovery mode [09:23] does grub2 have a manager or gui?

[09:27] <|_ocke> mneptok, who cares? i've gotten more support there than in here, i think that's what matters.

[09:27] <|_ocke> maco, no they don't [09:28] <|_ocke> if they did, they wouldn't help with things that nobody in here cared to [09:28] |_ocke: "end of discussion" means just that. [09:28] <|_ocke> seems to me they just want a reason to chat with someone [09:28] heyo, anyone have experience with awesome WM on dual monitors? [09:29] <|_ocke> chuuk, i think most can handle it, but try enlightenment [09:29] <|_ocke> you gotta customize it though [09:30] |_ocke: awesome WM, is a WM.

[09:30] <|_ocke> hmm [09:30] * |_ocke googles [09:30] maco: true on many levels [09:30] |_ocke: awesome is a tiling wm. enlightenment is a stacking wm [09:30] ??? [09:30] |_ocke, yeah i'm pretty confused because right now it's mirroring my monitors [09:31] owh, AWM... [09:31] and the documentation is almost non existent [09:31] isolat3dsh33p: careful youre not thinking of AWN ;) [09:31] chuuk: that sounds more like a X issue... === militant is now known as militant[ff8] [09:31] chuuk: that may be more a function of X than the WM [09:31] maco, LOL, what's WM anyway? D: [09:31] * om26er thinks he is in the wrong channel [09:31] chuuk: try "xrandr --output FOO --right-of BAR" (based on outputs listed in "xrandr" output) [09:31] isolat3dsh33p: window manager [09:31] mneptok, hmm...so how do i get around that? [09:32] isolat3dsh33p: AWN = Avant Window Navigator [09:32] isolat3dsh33p: AWN is a dock [09:32] To install to a RAID 0 array whose controller is merely 'hardware assisted', should I instead opt to skip the RAID setup via BIOS and just use the install RAID setup? Or do I need the 'hardware' RAID array set up to do that? [09:32] <|_ocke> windowmaker perchaps? [09:32] |_ocke: thats yet another window manager [09:33] maco, any window manager? [09:33] isolat3dsh33p: yes, WM is jsut short for "window manager" [09:33] Hello :) [09:33] isolat3dsh33p: so you can say "my wm is fluxbox" or "i use xmonad for my wm" [09:33] i should make Yet Another Window Navigator. everyone would be bored by it, and fall asleep. [09:34] isolat3dsh33p: note also that a desktop environment and a window manager are different. GNOME, Xfce, and KDE are all DE's. their respective default WMs are metacity, xfwm4, and kwin [09:34] mneptok, YAWN? :) [09:34] To clarify, I'm following this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID , but I'm not sure if I should have my RAID array enabled in the BIOS options or if this is purely done in software... [09:34] om26er: see? it's working already. [09:34] om26er, well done mate! [09:34] I am facing trouble with the wubi installer, I tried it once and it keeps downloading the i386 even though I am running a 64bit processor and OS [09:34] maco, that's clear stuffs! thanks :) [09:35] !torrents [09:35] Karmic can be torrented from http://hr.releases.ubuntu.com/9.10/ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso.torrent or http://se.releases.ubuntu.com/9.10/ubuntu-9.10-server-amd64.iso.torrent depending on your architecture. Torrents for other Ubuntu flavours can be found at: http://it.releases.ubuntu.com/ (CD) or http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases (DVD). [09:36] I press esc when my machine is booting yet it does not bring up a menu it simply continues to boot. I must boot into safe mode to fix my resolution as I can not raise it above 800x600 currently. After reading when I bring up this menu I should be able to select an option to repair the resolution. [09:36] Also, I tried installing the KDE version first and now even after deleting the wubi and all other files I cant get the option to install any other flavor. [09:36] titan_ark, downlaod 64-bit image [09:36] om26er, I tried that [09:36] But it doesn't seem to help [09:36] titan_ark, mount it and with daemon tools and then run wubi [09:36] is there any other way to get into safe mode and repair my resolution? [09:37] how do i find out what is using sdb [09:37] titan_ark, did you extract the image? [09:37] Hmmm tried that and Daemon tools doesnt seem to working on Win7 [09:37] petko: df -h [09:37] petko: fdisk -l [09:37] er oh nevermind [09:37] moe26er, nope I didn't [09:37] oops sorry for misspelling your name om26er [09:38] titan_ark, mount the iso file and then run wubi it will work [09:38] no, it is not mounted, an it's showing as busy if i try to add it to the array [09:38] Okay I shall try it that way. [09:38] Daemon tools also doesn't seem to work :P I guess its a bad day. Shall try again. [09:39] sudo mdadm /dev/md0 -a /dev/sdb [09:39] mdadm: Cannot open /dev/sdb: Device or resource busy [09:39] Anyone? [09:39] O_o [09:40] petko: is the device mounted? [09:41] no it's not mounted [09:41] i checked with df -k, it's not listed anywhere [09:41] did you create /dev/sdb1 ? [09:41] also did a ps | grep sdb not listed anwhere [09:42] no, there is no /dev/sdb1 just /dev/sdb === sandeep is now known as Guest69029 [09:42] petko: fuser/lsof [09:44] llutz, what does that do [09:45] petko: sudo fuser -mv /dev/sdb (see man-pages for more info) [09:45] no output [09:46] i must have screwed up bigtime on this one [09:46] there is probably no easy way to install this karmic package http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=ocropus in hardy, right? [09:47] how to disabled recursion in bind 9 [09:48] apanda: It's not good to mix release packages like that [09:48] apanda: You might be able to find the sources and compile it though [09:49] yes there are sources, but it will be a lot of trouble for just "playing around" with it, thanks ;) [09:50] apanda: but it's fine to build a backport. Add the sources line for karmic to your sources.list[.d], and google for tutorials involving "apt-get source" and "backport" :) [09:50] apanda: sudo apt-get build-dep ocropus && apt-get source ocropus && apt-get install -b ocropus [09:51] Should I not use ext4 for my /boot (using grub)? What would be better? [09:51] hi what the command to copy entire directory from windows to ubuntu using pscp? [09:52] cyberjorge: pscp -r dir/ /destination [09:52] cyberjorge: does it accept "-r"? Try that. [09:53] cyberjorge: pscp -r dir/ user@host:/destination [09:53] I got my ipod touch jailbroken, but I'm not really sure where to go from here. [09:53] anyone here worked with an ipod touch jailbroken? I did get logged in via ssh. [09:53] cyberjorge: pscp uses nearly same options as scp [09:53] and I want to try to transfer some music to it.... [09:56] llutz: thanks man! that worked! :) [09:57] crud... can I install without a /swap and add one later? I messed up on my partitioning on a complex raid setup and don't want to start over :) [09:57] i am unable to send a file from my laptop to mobile through bluetooth.... [09:57] adamonline45: you can [09:58] llutz: Thank you :) [09:58] it gives some errors [09:59] quick question: how much luck have you had running the update from in 9.4 to 9.10? I think there were a few issues at first, right? [09:59] Is it possible to mount an FTP on the file system using nautilus? [09:59] or scp [10:00] mbn_18: sftp/fish should work sftp://user@site [10:00] mbn_18: yes that native on nautilus [10:00] once you have logged in, you can copy it as a link anywhere [10:01] can i paste my error msg??? [10:01] Is see it in nautilus tree but cant find it through the shell [10:01] srini: use pastebin.com [10:01] mbn_18: go open a terminal in the nautilus [10:01] then type PWD [10:01] that should reveal where its mounted [10:01] Has flash 10.1 made a difference in full screen youtube/hulu videos?

[10:03] i stopped [10:03] hmm [10:03] Aciid: How do I open a terminal in the nautilus? [10:04] mbn18: install nautilus-open-terminal pkg [10:04] yeah thats what you need first [10:04] mbn_18: ~/.gvfs should be the mountpoint iirc [10:05] aciid : error was "The name org.openobex.client was not found" [10:06] srini: as llutz said, browse to .gvfs in your homefolder, look if you find your mountpoint folder there [10:06] test [10:06] .gvfs work greats. I wonder, why cant I see the partion when running df ? [10:06] mbn_18: its virtual-fs [10:06] ok [10:07] llutz: user land? [10:07] mbn_18: yes [10:07] llutz: cool [10:07] Thanks all [10:08] mbn_18: you wouldn't like to see your sshfs-mount systemwide done in kernel-space ;) [10:09] llutz: yea :) Security 123 [10:09] hello === sacho_ is now known as Sacho [10:10] !hi|yata [10:10] yata: Hi!

[10:32] Weird, I see GRUB Loading, then the ubuntu logo, then after a moment the monitor gets an 'out of range' signal... Any thoughts? [10:32] Or the versioning (revision) control system that the Linux kernel uses? [10:32] I think he means does Ubuntu use CVS as in development === sandeep is now known as Guest68617 [10:32] yeah [10:32] adamonline45: change frequency rate in xorg.conf [10:32] somethink like that, let the man answer [10:32] Aciid, no it uses svn [10:32] I mean [10:33] airtonix: I was not asking , i was just throwing [10:33] Can someone help me get GPS working? [10:33] adamonline45, ubuntu version please [10:33] could someone pls help me, my screen wont let me choose the correct resolution, and it is saying i have a 40" screen [10:33] A stable release would have the version 1.0.0 [10:33] adamonline45: start in runlevel 3 [10:33] Why don't we wait until _he_ asks rather than assume? :) [10:33] 1 is the major version [10:33] .0 is submajor [10:33] Aled: Sort of, yes. [10:33] airtonix: and why CVS, why not SVN btw =D [10:33] .0 after that is a minor release [10:33] MASARUwota: Hey I have a friend named Masaru! Anyway, how would I do that? I can't see anything... live cd? [10:33] Aled: There is a wiki page on release numbering and naming [10:33] 1.1.0 is unstable [10:33] isolat3dsh33p: 9.10 alt64 [10:33] Aled, that is standard versioning not "linux versioning" [10:33] Aciid: what about GIT?! :-) [10:33] Oh [10:33] I was not told that [10:33] Aled: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DevelopmentCodeNames [10:33] happy: yeah that would be even better [10:34] ISTR her asked earlier about filesystems. But memory may be faulty. [10:34] Aled, thats because software development in other areas is a clusterjob [10:34] happy: but ubuntu has big files, git is superfast for smaller files [10:34] adamonline45, are you trying to install it or you have installed it for a while? [10:34] Aled, that is to say there is no order, no one cares about consitancy or standards... [10:34] adamonline45, nvm, I don't think I can help you :( [10:34] Alright [10:34] isolat3dsh33p, yes, I am running compiz and it does work, thanks! do I need to keep it running all the time? when I tried to close the terminal window everything froze [10:34] adamonline45: well, either livecd and then edit that, or boot in runlevel 3 (press edit when grub shows up, and put a "3" on the every end at the kernel row [10:35] When I was a regular at phpBB's forums I was told it was called the Linux Version System [10:35] but clearly I've been proven wrong [10:35] isolat3dsh33p: no, this is a fresh install... but I had it working one one drive, now I'm trying to get it working on a RAID array using software... Oh, oh well, thanks anyways :) [10:35] ubuntu wont let me choose 1280x1024, i only get the option 1024x768, but my screen supports it.. [10:35] Aled, information given through lack of wider experience [10:35] Well you learn something new everyday xD [10:35] execute, you should use the run command « alt+F2 » and then type in metacity --replace [10:35] MASARUwota: Hmm, I don't see the options for grub, it flashes by so fast... Do you know the key offhand? [10:36] isolat3dsh33p, and do I have to do that again every time I restart ?

You don't have to. It basically turn off your compiz. You can re-enable compiz by « compiz --replace ». [10:38] Jordan_U: hello [10:38] isolat3dsh33p, but than my issue will be back [10:38] ae86-drifter: k, try editting the xorg.conf file then. (also, is your name from InitialD? :p) [10:38] ?

[10:39] MASARUwota, there is no such file === florin is now known as Guest36214 === laurence_ is now known as Laurenceb_ [10:39] execute, could be.

[10:40] ae86-drifter: youre running without a xorg.conf? only with autodetect? you should generate one then :/ [10:40] but I also restarted the router [10:40] that may have been the issue [10:40] isolat3dsh33p, I have it installed already. what should I look for? airtonix, it moves the window around, not resizing it [10:40] afroman, what's your problem again?

[10:42] Aled, enter key is not punctuation [10:42] MASARUwota, yah thats why i have 1 :) [10:42] ae86-drifter: try following this http://www.osguides.net/operation-systems/217-how-to-create-xorgconf-in-ubuntu-910.html [10:43] ae86-drifter: to FTP with filezilla, HTTP in firefox or any other browser and p2p with vuze/transmission/deluge [10:43] execute, its also used to do some other tricks [10:43] airstrike, I really like my compiz, I don't want to turn it off whenever I need to resize a window :O [10:43] !anjal [10:43] !test [10:43] yes, I'm alive. [10:43] good [10:43] can ubuntu work when I move hard drive to another pc? [10:43] execute, currently my assumption is that the window-renderer compiz is set to needs to be reasserted.

[10:44] execute, because you can have compiz running and it will still be providing compositing to the desktop yet the backend that controls the window frames (rendering and interaction) has crashed or gone zombie [10:45] how can i download this source code? git clone git://git.gnome.org/anjal [10:45] dura: as long as it would work if you did a fresh install, it'll work if you just move the hard drive [10:45] om26er: just run that command in a terminal [10:45] airtonix, looking at compizconfig settings manager... it seems like "resize windows" is off. shouldn't that be on by default? oO [10:45] om26er: you have to install git-core [10:45] !info git-core [10:45] git-core (source: git-core): fast, scalable, distributed revision control system.

[10:45] hi guys, is it possible to reconnect to pts/0 like in http://codepad.org/IOHdsI1O? I ran do-release-upgrade on my server last night and my connection died [10:45] adsflhsf, using devilspie [10:45] it looks like the upgrade process is waiting on some validation from me [10:45] installing [10:45] isolat3dsh33p: I guess not. it is recommended to contact sony to ask for driver. U know when I go linux----radeon--- mobility--- others [10:46] could you share me with example of its use ?? [10:46] adsflhsf, or if you are using compiz, you'll put them in the standard startup place and then tell compiz to move them to a certain desktop when they run [10:46] i never use compiz. [10:46] ok, thanks [10:47] mimir|on, is it your connection that lags or the PC [10:47] adsflhsf, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Devilspie | http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,2845,2139733,00.asp | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=75749 [10:47] airtonix, well, turning that on makes everything work, but... I would've expected that having it off just makes resizing less pretty, not completely disabling it :\ [10:47] thanks! [10:47] can i install ubuntu on btrfs? [10:47] execute, fundamental module. [10:47] ae86-drifter: my laptop lags.. the connection is fine. whenever i start any upload process, everything starts to work slow. it comes back to normal when the upload is done [10:48] eforic is the name of the game. New girlfriend [10:48] problems anyone? [10:48] execute, also the fusion-icon applet : right click and look in the menu you should see two entries that have to do with window frames : one that selects between metacity and compiz and the other should switch between what ever window renderers you ahve (default is gnome-window-something-something-something) [10:49] Is there a way to switch from ethernet to wifi without dropping my connection briefly? [10:49] APERSON, no [10:49] APERSON, no [10:49] mimir|on, i have no idea, sorry, seems very strange... [10:49] where would i put pgp keys? [10:50] airtonix, Younder: thanks [10:50] superboki, use synaptic to add them [10:50] Younder: can you check my issue? [10:50] ae86-drifter: thanks, i'll keep looking [10:50] airtonix, I have "select window manager" (compiz or metacity) and "select window decorator" (just one option - "GTK Window Decorator"). nothing about frames or gnome-window-something-something-something [10:50] execute, btw if you want that alt-right-click drag to move and resize windows on other OS's let me know [10:51] ae86-drifter: how, what do i clicky? [10:51] hi guys, is it possible to reconnect to pts/0 like in http://codepad.org/IOHdsI1O? I ran do-release-upgrade on my server last night and my connection died [10:51] execute, yeah window decorator will get populated with other options if you install for example : emerald [10:51] mimir|on, I cant do much yet. State your problem. [10:52] Younder: so, whenever i start an upload process, my desktop starts to lag. when the upload is done, the normal speed of the desktop is back. upload with filezilla, any browser, any BT client [10:52] airtonix, should GTK Window Decorator be checked? its the only option, but its radio box is unchecked [10:53] Younder: i'm on 64bit karmic, on a notebook [10:53] mimir|on, wierd [10:53] where would i put pgp keys? (i'am on jaunty) [10:53] isolat3dsh33p: can U help me with another problem? my printer canon l120 can't work. where can I get a driver for it? [10:53] execute, yep its good (using this instead of other options means it will use metacity themes (window themes you see in the appearance applet)) [10:53] mimir|on, its not a remote VNC is it ? lol [10:53] ae86-drifter: nope :P [10:54] mimir|on, what kinda network connection do you have [10:54] ? [10:54] Younder: wifi [10:54] execute, of course you can try out emerald [10:54] How can I make mailto links in chrome open in gmail?

[10:54] *difference [10:54] does anyone else's mouse go mental when you first boot up? [10:55] mimir|on, try limit the upload rate, does it make a differnce?>? [10:55] execute, imo it uses a bit more resources and it then requires you to manage the window themes via a different config interface than the standard appearance manager you use for every thing elese [10:55] mimir|on, well that's kninda new. Don't have any expeience with that [10:55] \leave #ubuntu [10:55] mimir|on, sorry [10:55] mimir|on, to say 1KB/s [10:55] ae86-drifter: it doesn't ... i tried with vuze... [10:55] im trying to copy a folder over to my screensaver folder [10:55] but it says I dont have permissions. [10:56] How do I get permissions to copy a file to there? [10:56] plustax, hi, try sudo [10:56] mimir|on, you mean it lags just as much as full up speed? [10:56] execute, personally i haven't found a theme i like that would cause me to install emerald (they are all vista/mac clones), default 9.10 metacity theme is what i've been using since intrepid [10:56] plustax, chmod [10:56] How can I set my default email client to gmail in chrome so when I click a mailto link it opens a compose window in gmail in a tab in chrome?

[11:22] LXDE more hungry than XFCE? [11:22] edeca: which is the "Kernel" line? [11:23] Nicekiwi9: Scroll to the one you want to boot (i.e. linux 1.2.3) then hit "e" and it should become clear [11:23] edeca: yup done that but there no line with the word kernel in it... [11:24] Nicekiwi9: What do you have? I'm doing this from memory [11:25] What's the recommended virtualization technology in Ubuntu these days?

[11:28] papul: aptitude is a tool for .deb packages, last time i checked [11:28] abdelrahman: is it a laptop? [11:28] clear your CPU fan [11:28] happy: yes [11:29] nano-, sounds like eclipse material [11:29] i want to download souce files for a package thru apt-get [11:29] *source [11:29] edeca: added single to the end and booted, no visable effet :( [11:29] abdelrahman: is it on a flat surface? [11:29] papul: apt-get source packagename [11:29] Younder: Are you drunk? [11:29] ae86-drifter: it works fine, I can hear it.. the computer shuts down whenever I start doing real work [11:29] Nicekiwi9: Hrm, try the same but add this to the end: init=/bin/bash [11:29] happy: yes! it occurred more than once actually! [11:30] Nicekiwi9: If you are lucky, that will drop you into bash [11:30] papul: i would suggest to get the latest source from the projects website :/ but do whatever you like [11:30] MASARUwota: where does it download to? [11:30] edeca: with or without the "single" ? [11:30] papul: dunno [11:30] abdelrahman: that was not my question... [11:30] nano-, seriosly you don't make any sence [11:30] abdelrahman: is it on a flat surface? [11:30] Nicekiwi9: Without [11:30] happy: yes .. I'm sitting on my desk! [11:30] papul: current dir, me thinks [11:30] Is there a pdf reader that is close to evince but supports bookmarks? [11:31] happy: nothing in the way of the fans! [11:31] APERSON: okular has more functions then evince, i think. [11:31] abdelrahman: is cpu scaling enabled? [11:31] Hi : just installed (ed)ubuntu for the first time : need to lock user : trying gconf-editor, gnme/lockdown, wanted to set restrict_application_launching and allowed_applications (as seen here : http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-5310/6mkpbn3up?a=view), but these keys don't exist : what can I do ? [11:31] Bom Dia!!! [11:31] happy: how do i check that? [11:31] MASARUwota, does it depend on a ton of kde libs? [11:31] does anyone have any solution for my problem? [11:32] APERSON: sumatra?? [11:32] MASARUwota, I'm on a netbook and I'd like to keep things to a minimal [11:32] APERSON: ubuntu isnt minimal ;) [11:32] papul, mine is. [11:32] papul, also, that is windows only [11:32] it is my first time here. Really nice. [11:33] APERSON: how did ya make it minimal? [11:33] !hi | j10297116 [11:33] j10297116: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines . Enjoy your stay! [11:33] papul, lots and lots of stripping [11:33] Why is it impossible to get help here? [11:33] edeca: again, no visable effect. also before this update there was an option on the login screen to slect your "Session" that option is no longer there :S [11:33] abdelrahman: over heating is a hardware problem. You should get you cpu fan checked out. ect ect. There is a way you should be able to do a temperary fix. I am not sure how to do it. But somewhere under powersave options their should be something about cpu scaling. [11:33] papul, how much space does your install take? [11:33] happy: I'm looking at the cpu scaling monitor, and I'm running on-deman [11:33] Crash2108, ubuntuforums.org [11:33] happy: I'm looking at the cpu scaling monitor, and I'm running on-demand* [11:33] thks. [11:33] abdelrahman: I am a kde person, so I do not know the ubuntu method [11:34] APERSON: starting from minimal is better choice than stripping [11:34] too many CAPS for my liking [11:34] APERSON: havent checked [11:34] abdelrahman: in that case. cpu fans :-P [11:34] happy, that would be 'gnome method' [11:34] someone please help me with my speaker, its mono, but there is never any sound, only when i plug a speakers in the jack then i get [11:34] ... [11:34] APERSON: but its bloated now [11:34] you can still use KDE with ubuntu happy ... [11:34] its not one or the other [11:34] hi all, is it possible to run slapd in tls only mode? i tried removing ldap:// from SLAPD_SERVICES in /etc/default/slapd, but this seems to break the whole thing [11:34] abdelrahman: did ur cpu heated up in win? [11:35] papul: no at all! [11:35] abdelrahman: whats ur current cpu temp? [11:35] ae86-drifter: ubuntu has kde. They just call it kubuntu. You can only run one at a time, but they can both be on the same install [11:36] ae86-drifter: you can set it up so one person can log in and get to kde and one can get to gnome. Or decide at login. [11:36] papul: well I tried to install lm-sensors [11:36] happy: how can i install kubuntu on ubuntu?? [11:36] happy, nah kde is a desktop environment which maybe used on ubuntu, "kubuntu" is a package. [11:36] evolution takes alot of screen space and anjal is not yet complete so is there any email client that take less screen space [11:36] papul: but it didn't work, it can't detect my sensors for some reason [11:37] abdelrahman: then how did ya know ur cpu is heating up? [11:37] papul:sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [11:37] all linux can have KDE [11:37] papul, well, my bloated desktop is running in at about 5GB, my stripped version is running at 2.3GB [11:37] abdelrahman, it also depends on the chipset and the support for it [11:37] abdelrahman, your sensors may be reporting incorrectly, check the bios to see if it reads the same temp as gnome [11:37] edeca: any other ideas? [11:37] DEViUS: still here? [11:38] zvacet: will i get kdm instead of gdm?? [11:38] papul, fully updated, some frivolous programs and a hell of a lot of chat logs [11:38] Watching your talking is enjoyable. [11:38] as soon as it shuts down [11:38] APERSON, my version takes lesser [11:38] papul: it will ask you which one you want to use [11:38] papul: because it gets very hot, and when I press the power button after it shutdowns, it runs for a couple of secs then shutsdown again, I have to wait a while before I can start it again [11:38] nastas, yes am here =D [11:38] papul: you will get kde [11:38] om26er-, mine would if aptitude would let me remove that darn CUPS [11:38] APERSON, actually 1700mb [11:38] nastas, my speaker, its mono, but there is never any sound, only when i plug a speakers in the jack then i get [11:38] hi [11:38] ae86-drifter: how can I check temp in gnome? [11:38] is there a way to apply margins like xfce does on gnome? [11:38] APERSON, sudo apt-get purge cups-common [11:38] ae86-drifter: I can't do that actually [11:38] abdelrahman: it may be due to other reasons [11:39] papul: the package manager asks you which desktop manager you want. I suggest you stick to gdm because it is the one you know [11:39] is there a way i can monitor or sent http requests ? [11:39] om26er-, om26er- does apt-get support wildcards? I usually would do something like sudo aptitude purge cups? [11:39] happy: i have use kde with archlinux [11:39] is there a way i can monitor sent http requests ? [11:40] psycho_oreos: when I run sensors-detect it says no sensors where detected [11:40] APERSON, yes [11:40] zollendar: I am not sure if it is what you want, but firefox has a great extention [11:40] papul: like? [11:40] no on terminal [11:40] OWW!! i cant install bitchx :( [11:40] abdelrahman: i dunno but it might not be due to over heating === binitamshah is now known as binitamshah|away [11:40] APERSON, but for after removing cups-common open synaptics search cups and remove things excluding lib* [11:41] how do i install bitchx???? [11:41] om26er-, well, I reclaimed 50MB [11:41] zollendar: so you want to send an http request? what do you want to accomplish (end result)? [11:41] not present on repos [11:41] APERSON, do you use samba? [11:41] happy, i have a script that sends http requests, but i want to monitor it and see what it's requesting exactly [11:41] abdelrahman, theres a temp monitor applet you can install for gnome, serch in synaptic [11:42] om26er-, I don't have synaptic :) [11:42] APERSON, probably not sudo apt-get purge samba* [11:42] zollendar: can you tell it where to send the requests? [11:42] There is some downloading going on from past 15 minutes at 10-15kbps. How can I find which application is doing this? Is there a command which displays all the apps accessing over TCP/IP? [11:42] isnt bitchx present on the repos?? can someone please check? [11:42] om26er-, yes, though I've been moving some of my shares to autofs+sshfs [11:42] happy, all i want is to see what it's sending exactly, it's huge script and i have no time to read it all [11:45] zollendar: I do not think there is a way to do that. You can monitor connections (tracked by kernel) but I do not know how to monitor the data [11:47] happy say someone used wget to get something, is there a log that logs this sent http request ? [11:48] zollendar: you could probably set up a script that logged that a request was sent on port 80 to [ip], but that is about it [11:48] hi.. where I can find update manager in ubuntu Remix? [11:49] #drupal-infrastructure [11:49] happy is there a guide to do so? [11:49] zollendar: I could google it for you [11:50] no thanks :P [11:50] * RuSD yawns. [11:50] If a terminals taken over 10 hours to do something is it a good chance its just not gonna do it? ^^ [11:50] Hello does anyone know a good 32-bit assembler level analysing debugger for ubuntu ? [11:50] i am having trouble compiling bitchx [11:50] papul: it's a dead product, [11:51] ikonia: ??? [11:51] if I am usually connected to a network of neighbours, and then create my own network with a router, will I still be able to access the neighbours shares? [11:51] zollendar, install xymon that will do what u need [11:51] papul: BitchX is dead [11:51] ehm, if something complains that it wants libgtk-1.2.so.0 ... but i have 2.0 installed... ? [11:51] ikonia: still i can use it no? [11:51] ;) [11:51] well this was fun... is the Ubuntu paid support any better than this? [11:51] hi I was wondering if anyone could tell me how I can sync my new ipod shuffle in rhythm box [11:51] papul: not if it's code is outdated for current distros and you can't build it [11:52] zollendar: You could set an alias to the wget command and have the alias run wget with the log option. [11:52] happy it seems ngrep would do it also [11:52] zollendar: ok, I know nothing about it [11:53] zollendar, there are many apps available to monitor network activity [11:53] I am looking up a packet sniffer :-\ [11:53] I would be setting it up with fluxbox that is installed on xubuntu, I uninstalled xface [11:53] hey guys, i'm back. my 9.10 istall started doing this thing where it defaults back to "None" on desktop effects [11:53] guys any recommendations for screen capture package ? [11:53] so every time i log in, the effects are gone [11:53] zollendar: What exactly are you trying to do? [11:54] rob_p: he has answered that. He wants to know what requests a script makes [11:54] LincKraker, gtk-recordmydesktop? [11:54] i have a script that's sending http request, all i want is to know what it's sending [11:54] rob_p [11:54] happy: Can't he just read the script to find out? [11:55] zollendar: Then just read the script and find out! [11:55] zollendar, use xymon [11:55] rob_p: he said it was "too big" lol [11:55] rob_p it's to big and written in perl [11:55] anyone help me? kernel updates have killed my system [11:55] zollendar: Does it use wget for retrieval? [11:56] Nicekiwi9, choose a deifferent kernel to boot [11:56] no mechanize lib in perl [11:56] hi.. where I can find update manager in ubuntu Remix? [11:56] ae86-drifter: ive tried the old one i had befoer the update and it jsut does the same thing as with the new kernel [11:56] Ubuntu doesn't work as well as windows. [11:57] my sound in xubuntu is awful all my songs are cracky [11:57] Hajex: which "remix" [11:57] zollendar: Short of going through the script, you'll probably be stuck with a packet sniffer as suggested. I use tcpdump. [11:57] Crash2108: cos its not windows ;) [11:57] Crash2108, just because you cant get something to work you say that... [11:57] Crash2108, that's like trying to compare an apple and an orange [11:57] My apple doesn't taste like an orange! [11:57] zollendar: tcpdump | ngrep? [11:57] happy : Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.10 [11:57] xymon is an excellent net mon tool [11:58] I'm trying to play music on rythmbox and the sound is all cracky and awful like, is there anyway I can correct this? [11:58] StupidandUgly, I suspect its an issue with pulseaudio [11:58] it will show usage for that specific script automatically [11:58] DEViUS, if you help me get something to work, I'd be glad to retract my statement. [11:58] Hajex: isn't it in the same place on ubuntu? [11:59] I guess I can download the manager [11:59] Crash2108, maybe if you would have asked your question directly someone would help.... [11:59] happy : no [11:59] whats up with pulse audio anyway will they ever get flash working seamlessly with ubuntu [11:59] Crash2108, if you prefer windows, then use it, nobody cares [11:59] DEViUS, maybe I've tried that for 3 days after trying everything. [12:00] Hajex: in that case I can only tell you the commandline way. Assuming you can get to the command line. [12:00] StupidandUgly, 1) pulseaudio is a sound system 2) flash is proprietary and must be installed separately because of its licensing issues [12:00] I didn't say I preferred Windows, I said it works better. [12:00] Crash2108, whats your problem? [12:00] Crash2108, you mean you dont know how to make it work better?? [12:00] Hajex: nm, it is under System->Administration->Update Manager [12:00] no nothing in system at all [12:01] ? [12:01] Crash2108, thats racist [12:01] please take your racism elsewhere [12:01] dur, what? [12:01] Hajex: but you see where it says system? [12:02] ugh [12:02] DEViUS, I'm using HBo drivers for my 3G card which supports GPS. I think these drivers were integrated into the latest generic kernal. 3G Internet works, and I can enable GPS and view the raw NMEA data with Putty, but for whatever reason GPSd doesn't work with it. [12:02] How can i install qt ? === DaZ_ is now known as DaZ [12:02] how can I get my ipod shuffle to work with rhythmbox? [12:02] The difference is instead of being on /dev/ttyS1, it's on /dev/ttyHS1 [12:02] chilli0, via synaptic [12:02] happy : system doesn't have tab (adminitrator ) I try to find under it but nothing there [12:02] psycho_oreos, What is it called ? [12:02] ae86-drifter, that's right. [12:03] does anyone know, because itunes is awful and I would rather use linux [12:03] StupidandUgly, I think you need to install ipod libraries, never tried [12:03] !search qt [12:03] Found: code, qt, maps, gui, disks, mount-#kubuntu, players, browsers, envyng, directconnect [12:03] I did [12:03] !info qt [12:03] Package qt does not exist in karmic [12:03] but its not appearing in rhythmbox [12:03] Hajex: I am trying to find the answer [12:03] !racism | Crash2108 [12:03] when i use the Evolution Mail ...the system tell me that "Enter password for default keyring to unlock" then I input the password of Administrator ...but It still can not work ..why [12:04] can anyone tell why [12:04] !info qt4 [12:04] Package qt4 does not exist in karmic [12:04] tiger__: enter your user password [12:04] !find qt4 [12:04] Found: ibus-qt4, libqt4-assistant, libqt4-dbg, libqt4-dbus, libqt4-designer (and 82 others) [12:04] chilli0, aptitude search qt [12:04] !info lubuntu [12:04] Package lubuntu does not exist in karmic [12:04] anyone help me? kernel updates have killed my system [12:04] psycho_oreos, There comes up with like 100 [12:04] 1000* results [12:05] whats wrong with apple, they say that there system is great with music, but itunes is like the worst music library I ever used and the lack of functional alternatives is null. [12:05] I select the option "remember the password" I think that the system can not store the password [12:05] StupidandUgly: we do not care about apple or itunes here ;) #ubuntu-offtopic if you must [12:05] Nicekiwi9, you need to explain more, how is anyone meant to know how your system got killed [12:05] erUSUL: I input , but still can not work [12:06] well i tried that but the guys helping me kinda died off.... [12:06] Hajex: I do not know where it is. It should be somewhere under system :-\ [12:06] Im aware erUSUL but I'm just frustrated trying to get rythembox working with my shuffle [12:06] chilli0, and so I don't understand, which qt do you need specifically? obviously qt seems to be available for ubuntu [12:06] tiger__: evolution only ask me for passphrase when sending signed mail [12:06] Nicekiwi9, what error do you get? [12:06] ae86-drifter: i installed the recommended security updates in Ubuntu 9.10, reset and all the cvomes up after i login in the boot background image and a white terminal [12:06] tiger__: the gpg passphrase [12:06] happy : thanks I can do it by terminal but computer for small boy [12:06] !ipod | StupidandUgly [12:06] StupidandUgly: 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 [12:07] thanks alot :D [12:07] ae86-drifter: no errors, just the white terminal, no window manager or anything, and on the login window the "Session" selection is missing [12:07] Nicekiwi9, what does it say in the white terminal [12:07] psycho_oreos, Qt >= 4.2 [12:07] getlibs-all.deb ... wtf is this [12:07] Hajex: ok, sorry I could not be of much help. is there a ubuntu-remix channel? [12:07] Nicekiwi9, type startx and what does it say [12:07] "ezra@susan:~$ [12:07] ae86-drifter: x is already started [12:08] ive tried that [12:08] happy : I dont know .. thanks again [12:08] Nicekiwi9, ctrl+alt +f7 what is there [12:08] ae86-drifter: was that key combination supposed to do somehting?

[13:20] Jonathan_L, kubuntu-desktop is for KDE, ubuntu-desktop is for GNOME [13:20] Nuker: If that's the package for your dist [13:20] ae86-drifter: uhm.. any ideas? [13:20] smellynoser: you cant do that in ubuntu, it isnt a bleeding edge distro [13:20] just want to be able to view the websites with apache. [13:20] mkanyicy: I know. Told Nuker that [13:20] SwedeMike: google is my friend - i have found a bad trick to fix it. most text are german but i hope u can fix it, too. [13:20] llutz, how do I go about that?

[13:38] Nicekiwi9: you just said you deleted keys yourself. That's not an ubuntu issue. [13:38] chilli0, i assume you've already used apt-search to look for 32bit assembler debuggers ? [13:38] so what is the ubuntu way to automatically load a kernel module on boot, I want to load "uinput" [13:38] jrib: no, but it is the cuase of the origonal issue [13:39] Nicekiwi9: caused by *you*. Anyway, if you want to resolve it, can you pastebin the command you ran that ubottu told you about before and its output? [13:39] airtonix, I have a few installed but none are like ollydbg [13:39] chilli0, have you tried looking on freshmeat or sourceforge ? [13:39] chilli0, did you check out the link i pasted?

Via bugs.ubuntu.com or with the Gnome project itself? [13:44] ok, voyantclev, i have no experience about creating RAID, anyway, you can just backup all the files in /backup before you delete them on it [13:44] and then complaining that gnome wouldnt load up [13:44] lol [13:45] Guest34034, yes but I have been using it since prior 9.10 for similar reasons... wirless would work for days then drop out sometimes, would have to re-establish things..sometimes worked on some users and not others. wicd just works for me [13:45] can anyone else provide me with some advice on creating RAID1?

I run a hardware raid that requires me to build my drivers. Can I do the update, then build the drivers against the new headers before restart? [13:46] airtonix: ok, thank you [13:47] @voyantclev: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/RAID1%2BLVM This could help you a bit [13:47] I have 2 disks; first one has Ubuntu and our local file shares (Samba); I want to create a RAID1 set-up so everything on the first disk will be replicated to the second [13:47] TopKatz, theoretically yes. [13:47] if I jsut do make install will it use the new headers [13:47] or will I have to point it to the new ones? [13:48] follow the steps and skip the lvm part ;) [13:48] TopKatz, obviouslly you'll need to the new dev package for the new headers i presume [13:48] I dont typicaly need those to build the driver [13:49] anybody uses internet connection that connected with cpu with ethernet? [13:50] Xfact, ask a question, a real one [13:50] Xfact: "cpu with ethernet"... what?! [13:51] MASARUwota, LOL! [13:51] Xfact, i dont think anyone uses that, if you do, you are doing it wrong [13:51] MASARUwota: sorry I meant that connect your modem and CPU via an ethernet cable... [13:51] Hello!

[13:53] Xfact, hahaha, ok now I remember the computer science guys used to say to us the whole desktop box was a cpu [13:54] airtonix: Modem>Ethernet cable>computer... *Successful connection* :) (I meant that) [13:54] * airtonix is not amused [13:54] mkanyicy: LOL [13:54] is there some tool in ubuntu console that I can get processor usage from?

[13:54] Xfact, your next question will involve describing the type of modem [13:54] Im having a problem. I have an open iptables but I can not ping my windows machine. and my windows machine cannot ping my ubuntu machine. I can ping the windows machine from a laptop. I can ping the router from the ubuntu machine. WHAT do I dooooo [13:55] MASARUwota: I need to redirect output to some file so I need only one result cpu_usage [13:55] MASARUwota and akanyicy, yes that computer desktop box.... [13:55] Xfact, ie: my modem is an adsl modem. (and yes i use karmic) [13:55] Xfact: you dont call it a CPU, honestly, you dont :/ [13:56] farciarz84: this is a general linux question, people here dont seem to answer, so i point you to #linux, the guys there are really knowledgable =) [13:56] Help >. airtonix: you are the right guy to ask then, I am using adsl modem thats connects internet by ISP username and password, but in ubuntu 9.10 is't not connecting... :( [13:57] how to install gnome theme ? [13:57] inferno_dualXEON: is your windows box refusing connections with its firewall? maybe? [13:57] MASARUwota: then what should I call it? [13:57] Xfact, my modem handles the authentication (it is also a router and a switch ) [13:57] Nuker, use synaptic [13:57] ok [13:57] :-* [13:58] Xfact: pc, desktop, computer, "box" just dont call it CPU, as a CPU is something INSIDE a computer :/ [13:58] MASARUwota: Nope, the windows machine is cool. I can access its files from my laptop and can access my laptops files from it. Its the ubuntu machine that is bugging out [13:58] Xfact, in my network config i just set my gateway to the ip of the modem/router/switch [13:58] inferno_dualXEON: you said you have iptables running? [13:58] airtonix: all mine too, but can you tell me how to set it in karmic to use... [13:58] problem with ubuntu after latest karmic update.. gdm won't start.. when i issue service gdm start i get the following error: "start: Unknown job: gdm" [13:58] hi does anyone use dvdautor to make menus ? if so when i try to use it i get a segfault .. any ideas why ? [13:58] Xfact, see the network applet icon in your system tray ? [13:59] inferno_dualXEON: try disabling that and retry? [13:59] Xfact, (two arrows pointing left and right ) [13:59] <`BlAdE`> salut [13:59] zamba: did you happen to try 'sudo aptitude install gdm' [13:59] airtonix: I set up pppoe (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) connection with UID and password in 'dsl' tab of network manager.... [13:59] llutz: ps -eo %C doesn't seem to work [14:00] Xfact, why? your modem should handle that for you ? [14:00] inferno_daulXEON: already installed [14:00] <`BlAdE`> j'ai supprimé, faute de frappe, network-manager-gnome de ma koala karmic. J'ai donc profiter de ce soucis pour jouer avec iwconfig et essayer de configurer ma carte wifi manuellement mais j'ai pas mal de soucis d'utilisation.

Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [14:00] MASARUwota: but which you are meaning CPU I mean it by calling 'processor' :) [14:00] <`BlAdE`> sry =) [14:01] Xfact: you may think that, but you should use words that the general public uses. im not just going to use random words because i like them :/ [14:01] MASARUwota: iptables -L shows the proper config. [14:01] Xfact, so you use the dls tab of the network config UI ? (i use the wired tab ) [14:01] inferno_daulXEON: did a reinstall, that did the trick [14:01] What is wrong in the bash function at http://pastebin.com/m4f3cbe65 ? [14:01] inferno_dualXEON checked your hosts? [14:01] farciarz84: ps -eo pcpu,xxxxx [14:01] airtonix: I am totally new in 9.10 so set up anyway...(and it's wrong so not connecting) I need guide, but no one can't do that :( can you? [14:01] zamba cool [14:02] farciarz84: read "man ps" for further info [14:02] Xfact, just remove any entries under the dsl tab and move back to the wired tab [14:02] airtonix: ok what to do in 'wired' tab....I've added a connection, but where to put user id and password? [14:03] Xfact, you dont put any authentication information there [14:03] Xfact: if you hava router as you said, you don't need user/pass [14:03] Xfact, adsl authentication is handled by your modem. [14:03] !pppoe|Xfact [14:03] Xfact: Setting up an ADSL/PPPoE connection? Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ADSLPPPoE [14:04] !botsnack [14:04] Yum! Err, I mean, APT! [14:05] ? [14:05] airtonix: then my modem will not connect, because it's only accessible by authenticating....my connection provider's rule :( (atleast win XP and Ubuntu hardy doesn't support connection without authentication) [14:05] mkanyicy: Lolz. It seems like it's working now. :) [14:05] MASARUwota: I dunno what I should be checking for [14:05] It connected automatically [14:05] Jonathan_L, ok [14:06] inferno_dualXEON: dunno either, if your iptables and hosts are good then idk [14:06] If NetworkManager works now, so should the rest [14:06] Is there a way to convince apt to reinstall all dependencies for a meta-package? (Like ubuntu-desktop after a disk crash?) [14:06] bye [14:06] 'adsl' and 'dsl' has any difference? [14:06] Floid: Reboot to recovery, dpkg repair? [14:06] because I think my modem is DSL.... [14:06] Xfact, yes but nothing concerning the reasons why you have to connect the way you do [14:06] Xfact: dsl, better xdsl covers adsl and sdsl [14:06] I just did it 'because I had some issues, it's fixed now [14:06] Hm, that's an idea. [14:07] Xfact: no difference for you [14:07] That won't purge anything, will it? [14:07] I have 127.0.0.1 localhost and 127.0.0.1 hostname and then all the other computers i have static ips for [14:07] Xfact, my recommendation is either 1) read that link above 2) get a new ISP that doesn't impose such stupid connection policy [14:07] I'm trying to build something, and it seems I got a broken lib in my libtool (I did a lot of not-standard builds tricks before today)... where does libtool know what are the .la files it should check? Is there a file with the list somewhere? [14:09] airtonix: ihey! in that link it saying we have to put our 'username and password' after runnig 'sudo pppoeconf' in the terminal! [14:09] Dunge: Google "libtool search path"? [14:10] Xfact, i use ppoe too but my modem handles it for me. far easier [14:11] airtonix: then I think my modem is dump and stupid and your modem is smart! you are lucky! :-/ [14:11] Xfact, follow that link see how far you get [14:11] If you have a "router" that usually includes a PPPoE client, is I think what you're saying the confusion is. [14:11] it is a common problem in ubuntu to have ridiculosly slow internet through woreles that hardly ever works [14:11] Xfact, but i can't see how that page is different from the dsl tab in the network config window [14:12] Floid : google it and see, no answer there :P [14:12] Is there anybody there can help me with screens? [14:12] i have the prblem of not being able to use the internet 90% of the time it will just time out [14:12] smaakage, your question is vague [14:12] smaakage, screen or monitors ? [14:14] Xfact: The concept is something like [DSL]-[DSL-to-ethernet-bridge-AKA-modem]-[PPPoE client]-[NAT]-[local subnet], if that helps. Sometimes these all live in one piece of hardware or are scattered across multiple boxes (or the PPPoE client can run on the PC itself). [14:14] If that helps any. :) [14:15] * Xfact feeling lots of pressure in just 13 yrs old mind :( [14:15] best time to start learning [14:16] smaakage tries to connect to a screen but it gives him an error, afaik === _dreamy_ is now known as dreamy_ [14:16] Floid: whatever you said, I know it's valuable information but I didn't understand, and it's ok and thanks :) [14:17] It'll start to make sense the more you poke at it. [14:17] PPP is just like on your old dialup modem. [14:17] hummm [14:18] (infact it is the same thing/method ) [14:18] hey [14:18] Anyhow, time to try that repair/reinstall. [14:18] hi who had a heroes of newerth ? [14:19] Hi all , anyone can help me to install Oracle 10g under Ubuntu [14:19] has anyone else also wondered, why there are so many linux-header updates compared to real userspace apps updates in apt-get updates? I find it rather fascinating that there is a core team of kernel developpers totally on crack/speed and litteraly no one fixing bugs in apps. [14:19] how are we all?

[14:25] Adam-85, apt-get install postgres is much easier to achieve ... and in freedom. [14:26] I used to dual-boot between 32 and 64 bit ubuntu. I wiped the 64 bit partition, but don't know whether that's where grub lived. I need to make sure it's installed on the 32 bit partition before rebooting. how do I? [14:26] hi, how can I get sudo to let me in without asking for a password. I have already added eFfeM ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL to /etc/sudoers, but that did not help. anyone an idea ? [14:26] Is it normal that Xorg takes up over 50% cpu and ~300MB of ram? My CPU is dual 2.5Ghz [14:27] eFfeM, that seems to defeat the point behind sudo doesnt it? [14:27] eFfeM: I'll find out for you - just a moment [14:28] eFfeM: what gives "sudo -l" [14:28] protojay: this is a single user system, I'd rather not always use a root, but don't want the hassle of having to type my passwd every thiem [14:28] llutz: User frans may run the following commands on this host: [14:28] (root) NOPASSWD: ALL [14:28] (ALL) ALL [14:28] i'm writing a shell scripts that needs to run a job every 15seconds, how do i do that, if i wait 15 from when the job finishes it'll run every 18 or 20 seconds or so [14:28] eFfeM: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[14:30] airtonix: cron only provides minute res [14:30] gp5st: use a fail safe though, starting a process every 15 seconds is gonna blow up real fast if it starts taking longer then 15 secs to complete [14:30] eFfeM: i put "chris ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL" as the last line [14:31] tallation [14:31] Hello folks. I need someone's help to figure out why my left click is behaving strangely (when it's behaving at all) since I updated Karmic week or so ago. When the bug appear, I can't click any button or focus windows, right click is not responding too. I tried to set the X server to defaults, turned Compiz and Gnome-Do off, but nothing works. Xev is not registering any events form the mouse. I figured the problem appear depending o [14:31] n which program I open first. Mouse works on other OS. Thanks a lot. [14:31] eFfeM, there is more to sudo than just "being something for a multi user desktop" [14:31] acicula: yeah, i just don't know how to do that [14:31] can I install software on a user that does not have sudo privileges? [14:31] ::face palm:: just cmd & and it returns immediately then i wait? [14:31] eFfeM: maybe you have other lines after yours, overruling it [14:31] gp5st: well you could mak a process starter that spawns a new process every 15 seconds? [14:31] alienkid10: from source or with apt? [14:31] rather then sleep for 15 secs after your proc finishes [14:31] apt [14:31] why oci (in php) dont work after i've done all points described here ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PHPOracle ) without any failures?

[14:34] gp5st: ? [14:34] acicula: how do i install the man pages ,xcuse me ? [14:35] airtonix: first I deleted all existing connection and after running 'sudo pppoeconf' [14:35] jmburgess, then i doubt you'll get your desire. [14:35] hi [14:35] ionut: install 'manpages-dev' [14:35] alienkid10: idk, i was reading a little http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/16475/ [14:35] !info manpages-dev [14:35] manpages-dev (source: manpages): Manual pages about using GNU/Linux for development.

[14:35] alienkid10: sorry:-\ any [14:35] airtonix: I found it is system->admin->computer janitor [14:35] dooglus_: thx [14:35] gp5st: can't? [14:35] kernel version [14:35] anyone here know if you can use apt to install a package to a user's home? @alienkid10 [14:35] jmburgess, you can create a desktop launcher that contains something like : 'gksudo xterm -e apt-get clean' [14:35] airtonix: it was asked for my user name and password just and I gave it, thats it...it shouldhave connected... but for any problem... [14:36] could someone convert a .rpm into a .deb ? [14:36] (with alien) [14:36] airtonix: well thanks for your help :) [14:36] alienkid10: i don't think so:( [14:36] anyone... current kernel version is ? [14:36] gp5st: how with source when I do make install it install normally? [14:36] gp5st: no but you can install it then you can ln -s /app/ it to your /bin folder [14:36] Jennifer_B2: Linux silence 2.6.31-16-generic #53-Ubuntu SMP [14:37] i have drivers for kerner 2.6 [14:37] acicula: will that work on the the latest ubuntu? [14:37] jellow: could I set up my own bin and etc and other folders nessacery? [14:37] Jennifer_B2: best to stick with drivers supplied with ubuntu [14:37] it's for some mobile usb device [14:37] anyone? [14:38] alienkid10, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingEasyHowTo [14:38] could someone convert a .rpm into a .deb ? [14:38] ionut: package libc6-dev has /usr/lib/libcrypt.a which has the crypt function in it [14:38] how to see the encoding of my terminal? [14:38] HtheB, why? [14:38] HtheB: that's strongly not advisable [14:38] Jennifer_B2: the 2.6 kernel has been around for a looooong time, wether or not the drivers work depends on the drivers. Best to check first if you need to use your own custom drivers [14:38] airtonix, because i cant install rpm [14:38] HtheB: what do you want to install ? [14:38] dooglus_: weeeo, thx man !!! apreciate that [14:38] also.. I currently do not have internet on my ubunty computer... is there a way to download the packages to get started ( such as to unzip rar files and such) [14:38] compile takes longer usually then I allow users on my system [14:38] per day [14:38] a game made with sdl lib [14:38] let me show u the link [14:39] alienkid10: Not sure , I suppose so. Would more elegant to make a seperate partition [14:39] HtheB, it helps when asking to initially provide as much information as possibly. also dont use enter as a form of punctuation [14:39] http://narroin.free.fr/dstroy can u take a loot at it airtonix? [14:39] jellow: apt would work if they had the folders necessary in their ~ [14:39] iceroot, i assume you are using gnome-terminal ? [14:40] hello! Since I upgraded my kernel from 2.6.31-16 to 2.6.31-17, some strange things happen. First, I can't boot the new kernel; it stops in normal boot with "Starting up..." and in recovery mode after telling me that my internal hard disk is checked and ok and will be next checked in "x" times. When trying to boot from 2.6.31-16 (the old kernel), I get the x server running, but all ttys are completly empty, except tty1. There stands " [14:40] Starting up...", I can't logg in via the tty, only on tty7 (XServer). Any Ideas what went wrong during the upgrade? [14:40] jellow: what folders would I need? [14:40] airtonix: gnome-terminal through ssh with the real shell [14:40] iceroot, "real shell" << describe this [14:40] airtonix: after upgrading to zsh, i got big problems with utf8 through ssh === gnelisse is now known as gijsnelissen [14:40] airtonix: /bin/sh [14:41] alienkid10: when you do ./configure you add --prefix=$HOME/bin or somwhere else you have access, then make, make install will put it where the prefix was [14:41] HtheB: I wouldn't try to repackage that rpm - it's got dependencies on specific c++ libraries [14:41] iceroot, commonly referred to as the "execution enviroment" [14:41] airtonix: ok [14:41] depencies? what do u mean? [14:41] airtonix: gnome-terminal is set to utf8, if i am using zsh utf8 is broken, if i am using bash its ok [14:42] gp5st: compiling generally take longer then the time I they have on my system [14:42] alienkid10: Not sure i undersand , Where apt installs its binaries? [14:42] airtonix: so i think i am missing something in ~/.zshrc but dont know what [14:42] iceroot, http://www.zsh.org/mla/users/2008/msg01158.html [14:42] jellow: yes [14:43] iceroot, also : http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2008-03/msg00042.html [14:43] ikonia: depencies? what do u mean? [14:43] alienkid10: /usr [14:43] airtonix: ah good to know, thx [14:43] HtheB: the software will depend on specific library versions, in specific locations [14:44] jellow: he wants to allow uses to install their own programs though, the issue is write access to /usr [14:44] jellow: chroot each user? [14:44] I used to dual-boot between 32 and 64 bit ubuntu. I wiped the 64 bit partition, but don't know whether that's where grub lived. I need to make sure it's installed on the 32 bit partition before rebooting. how do I? [14:44] jellow, gp5st: example one ~/bin ~/usr and other folders in the users home folder would apt-get install install packages to the users local ~/bin and ~/usr? [14:44] then they should be able to apt if i recall [14:44] updates for system wide packages would happen my me [14:46] I currently do not have internet on my ubunty computer... is there a way to download the packages to get started ( such as to unzip rar files and such ).. ? [14:46] dooglus_: what application can i use to read the libcrypt.a ? [14:46] alienkid10: i would look into chroot jail [14:46] !offline | JenniferB [14:46] JenniferB: If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. Alternatively, try http://apt.alturl.com/ - See also !APTonCD [14:46] gp5st: you can't chroot without sudo [14:46] ionut: gcc will invoke ld which will pull in that library [14:46] ionut: gcc file.c -lcrypt [14:46] I use chroot myself actually [14:47] ionut: 'man crypt' will tell you to use -lcrypt' [14:47] hey guys I am trying to get my Epson S20 to work - it's supported by the gutenprint drivers collection. ANyway in the official documentation of gutenprint i see my printer, I don't see it on my system when I choose the driver though [14:47] yes but i couldn't install the manpages [14:47] alienkid10: huh? the point of chroot is that each user get's their own little world to play in [14:47] dooglus_: i don't know how [14:47] ubottu, thanks [14:47] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [14:47] gp5st: don't they need sudo to chroot? [14:47] how are we all? Is any1 here Connecting to a pptp VPN in Karmic? Im having a bit a bother getting mine running!? I've Tried everything.. I'm at the stage now that it connects but i then my internet traffic freezes... i also notice that a little padlock appears over my wireless signal when it connects (on the NetworkManager Applet)... [14:47] yeah, but you chroot them, then they live there [14:48] ionut: perhaps you need to state what you're trying to do, bigger picture [14:48] I don't want to have to log each one each time === ari_stress is now known as satpam_skul [14:48] alienkid: once you jail them, they don't need sudo to get there [14:48] !msn | jellow [14:48] jellow, please see my private message [14:48] ionut: it sounds like you're trying to build some source code, but don't know how to run the compiler... perhaps you would be better off with a pre-built binary [14:48] TidyBhoy: post the log and route table on pastebin, the icon means that the connection was sucsesfully setup, so if it breaks your internet its probably because of routing or dns servers that are broken [14:49] my crontab is not sending email reports, not even sure the crons are running (looks like not) can anyone help please ! [14:49] dns entries [14:49] dooglus_: i just want to read what's inside that library [14:49] ionut: it's a binary. not really readable for humans [14:49] !Kopete | jellow [14:49] jellow, please see my private message [14:49] sorry acicula im new to this.. how i get the log and route table? [14:49] isn't chroot text based or is there a way to make the outside user (my user?) invisible to that station? and have the X-session replaced with the chroot? [14:49] dooglus_: i got it. so how can i find out the logarithm that linux uses to crypt the passwords ? [14:50] ionut: you could try reading the source code of the crypt function, but it's not very interesting [14:50] ionut: lots of huge tables of numbers, and swapping bits around [14:50] because in that case in a chroot like I do mostly then the user can interact visually with the outside and open a outside terminal [14:51] dooglus_: it would be interesting. how can i do that [14:51] alienkid10: i havn't used chroot like that, but i would imagine it would act exactly the same? i'm assuming their using xforwarding so there isn't a big difference betweena cmd line prob and an x prog [14:51] TidyBhoy: in a console type route -n, pptp messages go into syslog, but it also posts account info there i think so maybe pastebinning isnt the best idea., does nslookup www.google.com return anything when you have the pptp connection running? [14:51] man crypt? [14:51] :) [14:51] ionut: enable the source repositories and apt-get source libc6-dev [14:51] ah yes they are [14:52] i think it uses des or md5 depending on the format of the supplied salt [14:52] hello :) [14:52] so I could do this [14:52] TidyBhoy: also are you trying to route all your traffic through the pptp vpn or just access stuff on that vpn [14:52] they wouldn't beable to exit? [14:52] why oci (in php) dont work after i've done all points described here ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PHPOracle ) without any failures? [14:52] without logout/shutdown? [14:52] dooglus_: i've done that. now what follows ?

(mouse button 3) [14:53] I'll look it up [14:53] thanks though!

[15:12] so what i have to do? [15:12] And "why are you using XAMPP" was going to be my next question; I didn't even know there was an XAMPP for Linux, I thought that was just to help people stuck on Windows [15:12] uninstall lampp? [15:12] hello [15:12] M2R, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP [15:12] what a good/best modem for ubuntu?

I don't know I can ping router and localhost but not any machines. but can recieve pings. and IPTABLES is set to accept [15:13] is there something wrong to enable root user, disable sudo and use root as it is used in other distros? [15:13] OK, i'll unistall the lampp [15:13] Weric one that doesn't require you to use pppoe authentication from the computer (ie one that handles it self ) [15:13] inferno_daulXEON, i think your issue is a route issue [15:13] what a modem that works in ubuntu? [15:13] ivanatora, why? [15:13] ivanatora: you dont need a real root account [15:13] M2R, lamp != xamp [15:14] ivanatora: there's not much reason to and will make most of the admin gui inaccessible to you [15:14] M2R: you uninstall the xampp, please use LAMP [15:14] s/much/any [15:14] bluebaron: route or router? Im pretty sure the router is set right. It hasnt changed and it used to work. untill i reinstalled karmic [15:14] inferno_daulXEON, if you're getting 30 hops to reach a machine on your local network, it's going outside of the network, ... you might have your gateway as an external ip. should be the ip of your router. pastie.org what you get from # route [15:14] ivanatora: not exactly wrong - but this way is more secure [15:14] I'm used to have a root account to do the root stuff and also using a separate root account is more secure, IMHO [15:15] airstrike: is pppoe required by the modem? i assumed that was something the ISP used [15:15] ivanatora: do you know about "sudo -i"? [15:15] bluebaron: it didnt jump 30 hops. It didnt get a reply [15:15] !root | ivanatora [15:15] ivanatora: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [15:15] ivanatora: of course its not more secure [15:15] bluebaron: unless i fail at using traceroute [15:15] bluebaron: they are all 1 * * * 2 * * *, etc for 30 hops [15:15] !sudo | ivanatora [15:15] ivanatora: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [15:15] now I'm using sudo bash to get interactive su session [15:15] OK rephrased again... Anyone use a modem, which modem? [15:16] inferno_daulXEON, are you wireless? [15:16] ivanatora: use "sudo -i" as that's why it exists [15:16] about security what if someone knows my user account password? he will have root access, too [15:16] bluebaron: I can't say I know what that means. -- Everything is wired [15:16] ivanatora: use sudo -i instead of sudo bash [15:16] ivanatora: what if someone knows your root password? it's the same issue [15:16] sudo passwd [15:16] bb to check the man page [15:16] !noroot | Quasar1048 [15:16] Quasar1048: We do not support having a root password set. See !root and !wfm for more information. [15:16] If they think they know it, change it? [15:16] Quasar1048: we dont support that here [15:17] Oh? I am hardly paying attnention, lol... thought he meant his own shell.

I don't know whats wrong with this computer === john is now known as Guest85991 [15:19] routh: top right on pannel click on network icon , Or riht click and "Edit connection" [15:19] yes, it simulates login session - executes shell startup scripts and runs interactive session, right? [15:19] ivanatora: run it [15:19] almost like sudo bash [15:19] i am trying to change back my system language from dutch to english. I found the language menu item, and both pop ups say english. But when i restart my system keeps coming back in dutch. What am i missing.... (can't read dutch btw :) [15:20] ivanatora: yes, except it gives you a sane environment [15:20] btw what happens if I add more users to that machine? Will all of them get sudo permissions? [15:20] after restart, the first says dutch, the second says english [15:20] What cron is Ubuntu shipped with? anacron or Vixie's cron? [15:20] ivanatora: no [15:20] how to ssh to the host and change to the specific directory as ONE liner? [15:20] ivanatora: no, only users in the admin group have sudo access by default [15:21] %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL [15:21] Jellow: been diggin in there and no luck. Here's the scenario - I use wireless for internet, however I also have a local wired network with two servers in the room. The wireless MUST be the default for ubuntu, however as soon as I connect the wired network it automatically is set to the default by the network manager, and there is no way to change it in the GUI [15:21] aah, right [15:21] ivanatora: YOu have to edit /etc/group [15:21] how do i know whats my graphic card and what package has its drivers?

[15:22] zamba: that assumes you want to create one from scratch. Did you mean you want to /rebuild/ an existing package? [15:22] so you guys, don't think separate root login is usefull and recommend me not to do it? [15:22] And the pass still doesn't changem, actually... [15:22] jrib: from scratch [15:22] ivanatora: correct [15:22] airtonix' link looked right on the spot [15:22] zamba: k, ubottu's links then :) [15:22] ivanatora: do not do it [15:22] Quasar1048: definetly not if oyu intend to change YOUR password [15:22] thanks then, I will consider it [15:22] airtonix:What the luck! (well it's not luck you helped me) Thanks thanks thanks thanks, I am currently running net on my karmic, you saved my digital life! Thanks again! god bless you :) Your that help worked :) [15:22] how to find out which graphics card i have? [15:22] chipgeri: lspci [15:22] routh: You can remove it on the Wired pannel press on the delete button [15:23] ivanatora: su -i # Will give you root shell. [15:23] usr13: s/su/sudo [15:23] Is there a way to reinstall all the networking "crap" in ubuntu [15:23] jrib: ? [15:24] usr13: "sudo -i", not "su -i" [15:24] usr13: he means s/su/sudo/ - it's sed syntax for 'replace su with sudo' [15:24] jellow: Please reread the secnario - Deleting the connection will make access to that network impossible. I must have access to the network, it just cannot be the default, the wireless must be default or internet requests will fail. [15:24] usr13, yes, I'm not so concerned in having a root shell as a using it as a separate account (with its own home dir and password) [15:24] ivanatora: sudo -i # Will give you root shell. [15:24] llutz: I normally just go ahead and use sudo for commands... [15:24] ivanatora: Sorry su -i was mistake. [15:24] Quasar1048: which is a bad fault in this case since it does something you don't want [15:24] ivanatora: "sudo passwd" will set the root password [15:24] ubuntu just crashed, took me to a black screen, with some writing on, pressed enter, took me back to my login screen, logged in, white screen and nothing else, hard rebooted, ok now but can i find out what it was? [15:24] Causemosr of the time, yeah, it needs it, lol. [15:24] ivanatora: echo $HOME after you "sudo -i" [15:25] Hi! My screen doesn't stop cycling thourgh some initialization flickring. I'm trying to fix this by running gnome-panel --replace bfrom TTY6. What do I need to give to --display to do this? [15:25] Quasar1048: needless use of sudo is dangerous, avoid it [15:25] Cause most* [15:25] i have done "apt-get install apache2 mysql-server php5 phpmyadmin" what should I do then? [15:25] AH, shouldn't have corrected.. too far up... [15:25] M2R: sudo tasksel install lamp ? [15:25] jrib, omg silly me, I though root uses the user's home dir :) [15:25] llutz: I always exit out though [15:25] !lamp | M2R [15:25] M2R: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP.

[15:26] And I certainly do run irc as root. o. [15:26] do not* [15:26] ivanatora: that's why I said « sudo -i » gave you a "sane environment", you'll notice that with « sudo bash » HOME is still the user's [15:26] echo $HOME = pwd [15:26] routh: sorry was not paying attention click on edit and disable automatic connection .. hope thats what you meant =/ [15:26] jrib, so I see the difference now [15:27] erUSUL:lampp: command not found [15:27] sparkfun kicks abuntu ass :) [15:27] M2R: you typed and extra p [15:27] M2R: sudo tasksel install lamp [15:27] ruZZ: what are you talking abou t? === nero_ is now known as ubunturookie [15:27] dooglus_: That is not all that good of an idea.

[15:28] ruZZ: good, then please stop [15:28] erUSUL: I have "tasksel install lamp" done then I " !lamp" but lampp: command not found [15:28] Remind me please - how do you set charset in Ubuntu 8.04 terminal? [15:29] M2R: !lamp is for the bot here in this channel [15:29] jellow: nope.. that will disconnect the wired network, and then to restore internet access I reconnect to the wireless. But the SECOND I enable the wired network, the network manager sets it to default and packets are routed to it for internet requests. I need to have BOTH connected at all times - and I need the wireless network to remain as the default permanently [15:29] M2R: ubottu (the bot) pointed you to the docs in the wiki [15:29] llutz: and what is a sgid? something with posix-acls?

[16:47] Aled: yes you can [16:47] If you use the installer for Windows, it's in your boot menu and only one can run [16:47] *one at the same time [16:47] ah [16:47] thanks [16:47] Aled: it runs virtually (for eg with virtual box ,etc) [16:47] It's installed in a virtual file system inside a file in the Windows file system [16:48] But I can't run XP at the same time? [16:48] ionut: No, it does not. [16:48] thanks Pici [16:48] It's better to use the LiveCD to install it [16:48] But you can use the Windows method as well, even though I don't recommend it (performance, dependence on Windows, etc) [16:48] hi guys gotta a problem with the webcam image. I can see it but it's not regular. It's turned :S === synegy is now known as synegy34 [16:49] I inserted the CD to run inside Virtual PC and it gave me the option [16:49] And then there's UNetBootin that work somewhat differently and sets an ISO to boot as if it was a CD from inside the OS (Windows) [16:49] siemka [16:50] Aled: If you install it in a virtual machine, it's virtual and inside a file and is running in a process in Windows [16:50] I know [16:50] wuwuau: Mirrored? [16:50] Hi all, im building my new setup and im stuck with trying to configure 3 monitors.. when i put them as seperate x screens it works but oviously they are seperate. When I activate xinemera and I just get flashing screens on longin screen (Like if it trying to dectect something) I forced the resolution but still no luck [16:50] yeah [16:50] I use Virtual PC for a number of different Windows OS' [16:50] Aled: If you are referring to Wubi, then that creates a filesystem within a file on your Windows partition, but only one OS can run at a time. If you are referring to booting the disk from a virtual machine, then that is different. [16:50] :P [16:50] Jonathan_L, yep [16:50] what s aplitude?

[16:56] Can someone help me with Ubuntu Moblin Remix 9.10 ? [16:56] I got a problem [16:57] hello all [16:57] on production system [16:57] Update manager should offer upgrade [16:58] shadenzo: You cannot upgrade directly to karmic from hardy, you'll need to go through intrepid and jaunty first. [16:59] sushimako: sorry, that was for you ^ [16:59] !upgrade [16:59] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [16:59] Is there any service that lets you play around with a linux shell from a web browser? Not like ajaxterm or anything to a machine you own but just like a public service? [16:59] bored_, pretty much offtopic, but you want a free shell account. [16:59] Then you'll have to get server hosting with a linux machine and SSH [17:00] And there are Java SSH clients that works in browsers [17:00] Does anyone have a preference (FreeNx vs VNC)? === quok_ is now known as quok [17:00] is it a good idea to upgrade to QT 4.6 on KDE 4.3? === nero_ is now known as ubunturookie [17:00] Pici: yeah, i was afraid i have to. so instead of mangling with upgrade problems of 3 upgrades, i'd rather just reinstall, i guess? it's a live system, maybe i should use a secont machine and do it in parallel [17:01] nerdy_kid: never touch a running system [17:01] i need help with grub 1 my server doesn´t start [17:01] aaargh.... The "logging out" popup jsut frooze [17:02] iceroot in that case my pc would've been dead ages ago ;) [17:02] i cannot boot into ubuntu because im getting 1000s of Temperature above threshold, cpu clock throttled messages, my fan and heatsink are fine, infact im talking from windows using the same pc..any way i can turn this message off? [17:02] hey folks, i have a problem with an nfs share, i setup a server to mount a nfs mount point from another server ages ago, then we moved offices so everything got shutdown, now i've rebooted both systems, but the nfs share hasn't been mounted.. [17:03] hello [17:03] NET||abuse: then mount it by hand [17:03] i don't know where the problem lies at this point.. is there a series of steps i could take to trace down what part of the portmaps, nfs-common etc.. isn't starting up? [17:03] bored_, if you just want a linux shell and you're running windows, try cygwin [17:04] iceroot, you've just reminded me, the share is a mounted partition itself.. i think it's a lvm mount too.. so on the nfs serving host, how do i check what lvm mounts are not mounted? [17:04] flash videos that have a big "play" button on top of them don't work. SItes like youtube/vimeo work, but as soon as there's a big play button it won't let me play them [17:04] iceroot, i think; this is where my problem lies. I am really unfamiliar with working with lvm. [17:05] The next meeting on #ubuntu-meeting is at 10PM GMT and will commence for an hour.

[17:06] Remove the partition [17:07] When you request a cd dont you get a tracking number????? [17:07] *PartitionS [17:07] domjohnson: delete the partition and restore the MBR or else u would be stuck forever :P [17:07] Right...but that would leave GRUB behind [17:07] How would i restore the MBR? [17:07] domjohnson: Only if grub is installed on the windows partition [17:07] Grub is un-removable trust me [17:07] domjohnson: use your windows cd to go to the recovery console and type fixmbr [17:07] fix mbr wont work [17:07] Restore the MBR using the Windows install/recovery CD [17:07] I tried that' [17:07] Right...only i don't have the Windows CD [17:07] long time ago [17:07] and i was stuck [17:08] ahh,ok, so trying to mount a data directory from one machine on another, the data volume is not mounted on the nfs server, so I'm not sure how it was mounted, i think lvm, but i don't know how to find the lvm? can anyone help?

I can see it but it's not regular. It's turned :S [17:08] There are other tools to fix the MBR [17:08] domjohnson: try some third party tools that restore the windows MBR..use google [17:08] domjohnson: I would look for supergrub on google they have a boot disk that fixes 99% of all those types [17:08] wuwuau: What driver? What camera? Is it mirrored? [17:08] anyone know why video sties like youtube/vimeo work but any video with a big "play" flash button in front of a video doesn't work?

[17:10] Use 9.04 until 10.04 comes out [17:10] hajmola: sounds like you need the flash player installed. you must only see mpg or other codec vid they provide [17:10] Jonathan_L, how can I see the driver? I have the images in Cheese, Skype and Ekiga mirrored [17:10] domjohnson: good Point I think Its too buggy [17:10] 9.10 is mean sometimes [17:10] PC, downlaod it! [17:10] Fine [17:11] wuwuau: Describe it - if you turn the camera against yourself, does moving things in front of the camera appear to go to the right or to the left on the screen?

Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [17:12] hajmola: oh ok give me this site let me look [17:12] PC: Don't know then... Most people just download it. Anyway, good luck. [17:12] sacarlson, it's actually whenever there's a clickable flash running. So games will start but if I have to click on anything they dont' work. Same with videos [17:13] So....would ms-sys work to restore the MBR and therefore make GRUB either invisble or uninstall it? [17:13] i cannot boot into ubuntu because im getting 1000s of Temperature above threshold, cpu clock throttled messages, my fan and heatsink are fine, infact im talking from windows using the same pc..any way i can turn this message off? same thing in the recovery console too...desperately want to get back to ubuntu.. [17:13] sacarlson, but they're still being displayed, just wont' let me click on anything [17:13] ubottu: I didn't tell them to only google, I told them to google what I sent them. hopeing the details would come of it. [17:14] hajmola: I asked for a site: what you gave me helps me not [17:15] sacarlson, nevermind, I found a fix for the problem buried in a forum. And it wasn't just one site it was all sites with flash buttons [17:15] test [17:15] sacarlson: You should direct your comment to guntbert as he is the one who sicked the bot (ubottu) on you! :-) [17:15] Press ENTER to continue or CTRL-C to exit.

Rest same but this errror [17:33] instead of that one [17:33] Deathspike, what do you mean no 'services' was found? did the service tool tell you that? huh [17:33] mediaprodigy: cool mixing stuf that I could shift my voice or ?? [17:33] Mortal_: No, the tool doesnt even exist on my system. [17:33] i have gcc version 4.4.1-4ubuntu8 installed. I am using a program which only supports gcc v. 4.2.0. Is it possible to have both compilers installed on the system simultaneously, so that i can have the old 4.2.0 and the new 4.4.1?? [17:33] Deathspike, 'service' is the standard way of managing services (daemons) in ubuntu... try 'man service' [17:34] mediaprodigy: lad?

[17:35] why'd you remove it though? [17:35] sacarlson: can you provide some links.. msg me off the list. pls [17:35] how do i record input from a webcam and microphone using vlc? [17:35] maverick_: Looks like it may be. [17:35]  sacarlson:  tmidii [17:35] Mortal_ I dont want to uninstall it, I just want to disable it as I'm running a server and dont need GUI all the time. [17:35] ah like that [17:35] service stop gdm [17:35] anybody know how to format a second hard drive? [17:35] you'll probably need sudo [17:36] gparted? [17:36] rob_p: ok.. [17:36] Mortal_ : Hm.. apparently it doesn't know the service, even though it's listed.. twice. [17:36] Deathspike, what about sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop? [17:37] Mortal_: It closes now, but AFAIK it re-appears when I reboot. [17:37] poopoo [17:37] mediaprodigy: just try go into synaptic and search for music [17:37] ok Deathspike you'll need to disable it in the /etc/rc?.d/ directories [17:37] Mortal_, you there for me? [17:38] Mortal_: Sadly, I already did this. It still re-appears :\ [17:38] guest95456: Does it only do that once it has been written to disc or does the same from the harddrive? Have you tried putting the file through avidemux and see if the many options can't solve the problem, It should be in the ubuntu repository so softwre centre or apt-get install should do it for you. Check out: http://fixounet.free.fr/avidemux/ [17:38] RalphSpencer, sec, I'll just need to read through the script [17:38] sacarlson: thanks [17:38] mediaprodigy: rosegarden and many others like someone other than me mentioned is there [17:38] Deathspike, check out update-rc.d [17:38] Mortal_: I used sysv-rc-conf and manual deleting. No entries are around, it still starts. [17:38] Deathspike: use the update-rc.d utility to disable it. Should be, "sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove" [17:38] Mortal_ & rob_p: This command throws an error at line 57 :\ [17:38] Mortal_, ok sure [17:38] Deathspike, you shouldn't delete it, you need to rename it according to some shenanigans, but update-rc.d should do that for you [17:39] Mortal_: A reinstall should do the trick for corruption I take it then? [17:39] RalphSpencer, I don't know how much shell scripting you know, but searching the script for the string 'The DRI drivers can not be installed without the latest kernel modules' will get you to line 1350 [17:40] I have fiddling with my system for sometime now, I have scoured the forums, launchpad again and still no solution. I can't loggin, the loggin screen just keeps returning. I am running mythbuntu 9.10. [17:40] RalphSpencer, I'm not sure the checks are legitimate and whether the error message is telling the truth, that some kernel module(s) is/are missing, but that could be the problem [17:40] how do i get my comp to automatically boot ubuntu without it asking to be selected? [17:40] Deathspike, what's corrupted? === jon is now known as Guest93254 === spatula is now known as spatulacity [17:40] Mortal_ : update-rc.d gives an error at line 57 for some reason. [17:41] Mortal_, if these modules are really missing, how do I install them? [17:41] serious problem :( after updating my karmic, when I am tarting my PC it's opening as console...(not as gnome desktop).... [17:41] RalphSpencer, I don't know which modules are missing... does it say which? [17:41] Nope [17:41] RalphSpencer, then add errmsg "$DRV_MODULE" just before line 1350 [17:42] Should I comment out those lines for now? [17:42] When I am trying to start gdm, it saying 'ccannot aquire ' etc.....what should I do?? :( [17:42] ok [17:42] It feels like my backend is fine and when I reboot my system I can see it being shutdown and the mythfrontend seems willing to luanch but I don't know how to specify a display. So the problem with the loggin prompt initialising whatever is supposed to happen next so I get a working desktop. === luis__lopez is now known as luis_lopez [17:42] nah RalphSpencer we need to know which modules it claims are missing [17:42] Deathspike: Try first enabling by doing, "sudo update-rc.d gdm defaults" and then disabling by doing, "sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove" [17:42] serious problem :( after updating my karmic, when I am tarting my PC it's opening as console...(not as gnome desktop)....When I am trying to start gdm, it saying 'ccannot aquire ' etc.....what should I do?? :( [17:42] DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHY I CAN'T RECORD ANYTHING IN JAUNTY?

[17:42] Hey [17:42] alberto: YOU NEED TO STOP SHOUTING [17:43] ok I got to go to sleep, thank you all for keeping it all alive, remember only people (you) make it happen by asking and telling and making the dream come true. [17:43] ah sorry RalphSpencer, I've gotta go now [17:43] alberto_: please don't shout, everybody here is for help, wait for your turn :) [17:43] Sorry, but I'm desperate [17:43] My upstart-manager won't work [17:43] Mortal_, now it says gdg in there [17:43] hey home come you assholes keep messing with the sound server every release [17:44] :( [17:44] !ohmy | spatulacity [17:44] spatulacity: Please remember that all Ubuntu IRC channels share the same attitude of providing friendly and polite interaction with all users of all ages and cultures. Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others. [17:44] 96kci2140 [17:44] spatulacity: just use alsa [17:44] Xfact: I think you're problem is similar to mine. What happens if you /etc.init.d/gdm stop and then startx? [17:44] Mortal_: This is still a no-go :( [17:44] Deathspike: I'm guessing that since you manually removed some sym-links, the update-rc.d utility is throwing errors while attempting to operate on non-existant files. By enabling first, the symlinks get re-created in all the default runlevels. Then the disable command should work. [17:45] i have gcc version 4.4.1-4ubuntu8 installed.

I'll simply reinstall (it's a clean one anyhow) and work with that, it should work then according to the information given. Thanks again, have to run for a while! [17:45] Diverdude: yeah if they use different names for the binary [17:45] Diverdude: or you can put a custom gcc in /usr/local or your home directory etc [17:45] Deathspike: Sounds a little drastic! [17:45] acicula, i see...how do i control that? [17:45] Deathspike: ...but it's your call. Good luck. [17:45] Can anybody help me, please? [17:46] acicula, where does the standard gcc reside?

[17:46] Abongile: I think the update process doing unexpected error with 'gnome display manager' so it's doing problem to start, and it's major issue I think.... [17:46] Diverdude: the naming you dont control, if it comes in a deb, but im gusesing just installing gcc-4.2 will work [17:46] and strangely I keep killing nm-system-settings and it comes back [17:46] Diverdude: but thats a strange thing - what gets broken in your proggy if you use 4.4.1 ? [17:46] alberto_: please repeat, what your question was....? [17:46] Diverdude: gcc-4.2 is in the repo, you just have to remember to use gcc-4.2 ratrher then gcc and such [17:47] Diverdude: or port your program [17:47] isnt gcc 4.5 the latest release? [17:47] currently at 4.4 [17:47] 4.5 might be the dev release [17:47] I need to serve for nfsroot and the client reconfigure it's iface so...the jaunty-based one's iface go down too [17:48] guntbert, mexfiles in matlab [17:48] Anyone recomend a light image viewer that can open multipule .jpgs at same time?

[17:56] Xfact Now it gives me problems. [17:56] pea[PC]: What were you expecting to happen? [17:56] Hey guys. I need a little help. Im running ubuntu and im trying to create a custom live cd with remastersys that keeps my firefox settings and extensions. the problem is since my .mozilla directory is in my home folder it isnt backed up by remastersys. I would like to know if its possible to change the location of this ./mozilla directory in the about:config or somehow elese. Thanks so much. [17:56] macman_, there was no ubuntu partition [17:56] Diverdude: I see - I lost the connection - are you all set by now? [17:56] only an xp partition [17:56] 0_o [17:56] Xfact It causes me headache [17:56] very confused [17:56] i installed stuff on ubuntu, it wasn't a live cd [17:56] if i got a PC with WinXP installed, and i start it from a ubuntu-livecd, makes a compressed archive of the entire XP harddrive partition, if i wanted the entire pc back to the point i did that archive, would it just be to format the harddrive back to the original filesystem and extract the files from the archive? [17:57] pea[PC]: If you used the entire disk to install xp, simply install ubuntu and look for the option to let it automatically partition the drives [17:57] alberto_: ooh! You upgraded to karmic, Karmic still having some probs people saying so I would not say it's totally 'stable release' and second, fresh installation is much batter then upgradation, as you can see I am also having problem with upgrade.... [17:57] pea[PC]: It should shrink the xp partition and install ubuntu alongside it, then install grub and allow you to select which to load at boot time [17:58] Xfact: Are you using a straight Ubuntu or derivative (Mythbuntu, Xubuntu, Edubuntu, etc)? I'm thinking if it's not mythbuntu which I have nightmares with at the moment how about: apt-get remove gdm, apt-get remove xserver-xorg and the reinstall perhaps going for something apt-get instrall gnome-desktop (that comes with a lot of other apps which mythbuntu does not need.) I am a newbie as well but trying to learn with help of these people. [17:58] Xfact I had problems both with fresh installation and upgrading. [17:58] read what i said though, ubuntu didn't have it's own aprtition [17:58] Is there any hope for audio applications not running like crap when they're running in a virtualized environment? [17:58] pea[PC]: Read what I said. You need to install ubuntu again [17:58] Xfact Karmic sucks. [17:58] ! who | pea[PC] [17:58] pea[PC]: 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 :) [17:58] Xfact So Jaunty does. [17:58] i'm not [17:59] As it does not work properly either. [17:59] It's too difficult to make something work. [17:59] i can't help it if people jump into the conversation half way through and get upset that they didn't read my origenal question [17:59] Too many sound servers. [17:59] PulseAudio? [17:59] Abongile: yes...'apt-get remove gdm' can be a helpful way! thanks [17:59] Hey guys. I need a little help.

[18:00] Hans_Henrik: in theory, yes. It depends on how you did the backup. There are backup backup packages that specialize in making 'bare metal restores' to do exactly what you describe e.g. http://www.mondorescue.org/about.shtml. Disclaimer, I have not used any of them [18:01] Xfact: Reinstalling gdm wont help anything if it's the same version.. what's the problem you're having exactly? === dani is now known as Guest68749 [18:02] hey guys!! i been having problems with my wireless connection. the connection drops every once in a while and unable to reconnect. i dont see this happening on win 7 but only on ubuntu 9.10. it never occured to me in 9.04 [18:02] why? pourquoi? [18:03] soreau: I haven't tried reinstalling it yet ,and the problem was after updating karmic softs unexpectedly it blocked my gdm... it's i think will be solved after simple remove and reinstall of gdm.... [18:03] bonbon [18:03] Xfact: What do you mean it blocks gdm? [18:03] Xfact: give it a short a let me know what happens. I guess my problem is little involved then though I should expect that the experienced users should have a solution but still waiting. My issue is I can remove and reinstall gdm and the xserver but that solve my problem as I think there are some unique linkages to the Xfce desktop mythbuntu uses and it not being initialised.

When the bug appears, I can't click any button or focus or close windows, right click is not responding too. I tried to set the X server to defaults, turned Compiz and Gnome-Do off, but nothing works. Xev is not registering any event from the mouse.

The first option is to boot normally into your installation the second is for administrative task hence recovery, you don't get a full x-session (graphical) display in the second cause a lot of apps and services are not initialised but you'll have a terminal for your admin tasks, you have netroot terminal (terminal with networking) so you can do some updates and installations as w [18:13] morphias: you can fix it temporary by unloading and reloading the modules but i didnt get it to work well without using the correct kernel [18:13] because tick marking disable/enable doesn't cut it.

[18:17] when I open it, I get a bar that goes left to right, it closes, and nothing happens [18:17] morphias, is a recuring problem or is it just this once [18:17] i kept logging these in a file, this is the forth one, been trying to find a dump file somewhere tho [18:18] HELP! When I try to play games, the audio starts to crackle and then dies. This is not always the case, sometimes it works fine. Why doesn't sound work properly for game roms anymore? [18:18] Can anyone help on Domain controller setup with Ubuntu server 9.10 here? [18:18] Abongile: yes...but bootloder is not the main issue here, the blockage in OS loading I think...and how to solve it...I've got an idea to reinstall gdm but also in doubt about it's future :( [18:18] Hydrosis, same here [18:18] xfact: when you bootup, grub does a countdown, pushing escape before zero will give you the option to boot normally i.e. first option or select recovery for your current kernel. [18:19] Hydrosis: aah..this was one of the biggest problems for me..for this you have to upgrade the alsa version [18:19] pop from the speakers? [18:19] guiscard: have you found a fix? This is retarded. [18:19] Hydrosis: to 1.0.22 :D..i got it solved just yesterday [18:19] !repeat > Hydrosis [18:19] Hydrosis, please see my private message [18:19] maverick_ how do I do that [18:20] pure: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements [18:20] morphias i used to have a lot of problems with that card but now it works very well for me. not perfect but almost [18:20] Abongile: yes...but I don't know it's normal or not but in my pc it's giving two normal and two recovery options....first pair totally blocked so using second pair....on [18:20] How do I update ALSA if Im not even sure that I have ALSA? [18:20] Were running it in VirtualPC, what settings should I use, it's got way more than 64 [18:20] I need help with sound via the HDMI interface card nvidia GT220 [18:20] In alsa-mixer when you press F6, I can select the sound card NVidia, but I get a message that no device controls [18:21] Hydrosis: go to this site http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Main_Page, download alsa-utils, alsa-driver and alsa-lib and install them using make..it is not in the repositories [18:21] Hydrosis, no, it used to work properly with games suddenly the sound started to malfunction [18:21] don't know why [18:21] jokuil, have you ever figured out where iwlagn would store its dump logs? [18:21] som1 told me i could do "dd if=/dev/hda1 of=/usr/me/backup.img then dd if=/usr/me/backup.img of=/dev/hda1" to make a backup of a partition and restore it again.. 1: true? 2: if so, would it work on NTFS/FAT32? [18:21] !anyone | manish_ [18:21] manish_: 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? [18:21] Hydrosis: Alsa 1.0.21 was not included in Karmic because it released late, and it was in the alpha stages.. [18:22] everyone: it's showing compiz installed in my pc but not listed in either preference or admin menu...how to access it? (ubuntu karmic) [18:22] thanks anyway jellow... gotta run.. ill be back tomorrow ;P [18:22] maverick_: so, how do I install this stuff? I come from a world where computers should be easy to use... [18:22] does anyone know if mediabuntu got rid of skype in their package set? [18:22] The worst that I can see heppening with reinstalling gdm is as soreous said "nothing" i.e. on reinstalling it picks up exactly where it left off errors and all nothing beaking your system to bits or anything like that. I think if I were running a standard ubuntu install that problem should solve my problems. Cause though I get gdm back it is the init scripts from loggin to launch desktop that are not talking properly at least that's wha [18:22] i don't know why but some how the audio of my system goes off . i try out play any of the song with vlc or exaile , but audio sounds remains a mute , it comes back only when i restart my system [18:22] morphias nothing more than i could se with 'dmesg', you can increase the verbosity when you load the module [18:23] I have: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.22.1.0.g2d697.0.g88788. [18:23] Hydrosis, first you extract the files with tar xvf or tar xzvf depends on the format they are compressed [18:23] guiscard: In english, please. [18:23] xfact: what does blocked mean? What happens when you select those options? The latest kernel is usually on top of the list. [18:23] Abongile: means the plan of reinstalling gdm wasn't useful :( === ericr__ is now known as ericr11 [18:23] !compile | Hydrosis have you seen [18:23] Hydrosis have you seen: Compiling software from source?

[18:24] ubottu, sorry for that, I have Win2k based Domain Controllers on LAN. Want to replace them with Ubuntu server 9.10. I want to know how to go about this [18:24] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [18:24] scott_ino2: afaik no [18:24] Xfact, what do u mean by "I can't access them"? [18:24] How come is this? [18:24] ) Abongile: yes the latest kernel option is not working for gdm startup problem (and I am calling it blocked) and the second one i ok and I am now running it [18:25] epinky, hmmm somethings going on then [18:25] ty [18:25] holy crap, are you telling me I need to read 20 manulas, learn a new language and slave in a terminal for days on end just to get sound working for a NES game? This is insane. Why bother even releasing broken software to the world? [18:25] Hans_Henrik: that should work fine. Always use "dd" with the utmost caution though...really efficient way to irrevocably muck things up if not done right [18:25] xfact: so you're in with an earlier kernel version? [18:25] Hydrosis: lol [18:25] !attitude | Hydrosis [18:25] Hydrosis: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [18:25] Hydrosis: there? [18:26] ejwaxx, just recently wrote over an entire drive with dd ;) [18:26] alokito: yes it's showing installed in synaptic but not listed to click and access, so how to access it remote Way? (I mean by running any command or something...) [18:26] Hydrosis: go to this site http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Main_Page, download alsa-utils, alsa-driver and alsa-lib and install them using make..it is not in the repositories..sorry I got timed out [18:26] Hydrosis, there's a easier way [18:26] I hate Ubuntu [18:26] IT SUCKS [18:26] alberto: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:26] read the INSTALL document [18:26] Abongile: running on old kernel version does matter? [18:26] AND NOBODY ANSWERS MY QUESTIONS [18:26] scott_ino2, as have i...of course i was aiming to zero it out :) [18:26] I HATE THIS CHANNEL [18:26] can i mount a .img file created by "dd"? [18:27] alberto: Please take your <°)))o>< and troll away. [18:27] Hey guys is there a way to open and edit files inside a .squashfs file? thanks [18:27] Xfact: In case you didn't get an answer to your question, sys>prefs>appearance>Visual Effects <-- set to anything other than None will start compiz and make it the default [18:27] Xfact, u mean "activate"? if so then you need to have graphics card driver and then you can run "compiz -replace" from alt+f2 window [18:27] Hans_Henrik, yes should mount just like any other image [18:27] Hydrosis, install gfceu === revygttam is now known as mattgyver [18:27] ima li nasih ovde? [18:27] Hans_Henrik, and give you the list of folders/data etc.. [18:27] its a NES emu [18:27] i have never mounted a .img before.. how do i do that? [18:27] MerlinW: I have it already. Thats what im trying to fix. Why would I need to reinstall it/? [18:27] Thank you for your help [18:27] sry, i just arrived :D [18:28] ima li nasih ovde? [18:28] Hydrosis, and nestra ? [18:28] Xfact, and you can control and configure plugins from compizconfig-settings-manager, it's not installed by default(afaik) so you should install that too(sudo apt-get ....)

Croatian language support in #ubuntu-hr [18:28] Xfact: No it doesn't, the experienced gusy will say something about security updates and the later kernel is supposed to be more secure but you can do pretty much everything you need to with an older kernel. And if an app requires the later kernel it will say so, or least in my short time with the OS that's what I have noticed. [18:28] dear All, how can i make GNU screen sourcing /etc/profile.d/* at every new window create? [18:28] if i have mounted a .img file as a partition, can i add/delete files from the img file and save it? [18:28] snes9x is working [18:29] Hydrosis: Did you get it sorted out? [18:29] Hydrosis, maybe from getdeb or medibuntu repos [18:29] MerlinW: We're talking about SOUND problems, not game emulators. [18:29] Abongile, I don't think compiz "directly" depends on kernel [18:29] Abongile: yes All I need the setting manager...thanks :) [18:29] ahh [18:29] Hans_Henrik: i'm experimenting with it right now, let you know in a few minutes if no one gets back to you [18:29] maverick_: hell no. I got those files and have no idea how to install them. They are saved on my desktop. This is retardedly hard. [18:30] Abongile, the graphics card driver(which compiz needs to function) requires kernel compilation [18:30] Hydrosis: no, its not as hard as you think, extract the three files first [18:30] Hydrosis, read the INSTALL document it goes straight to the point [18:30] Among those present are the owners of video cards nvidia GT2xx, using HDMI output? How did you do to work the sound through HDMI? [18:30] alokito: Abongile is not talking about compiz...we are discussing on gdm problem :( [18:30] what is the software in linux that allows me to burn an iso to USB drive and it becomes bootable? I currently forget what the SW is [18:31] guiscard: WHAT frigging install document? You need to be specific, there are 50 things you guys just told me to read. [18:31] Xfact, hmm, then whats the settings manager for? :-/ [18:31] Xfact, gnome configuration editor? [18:31] Trizicus: can try unetbootin [18:31] Hydrosis: Then go to each folder using the terminal and run ./configure, make and make install [18:31] alokito: our gdm is not loading on start up.... [18:31] trizicus: unetbootin? [18:31] Hydrosis: please stay polite - if *you* don't understand something - no need to use derogative terms [18:31] Hans_HenriK: Thanks :D [18:31] Xfact, and how's that related with compiz? [18:31] alokito: no i think gnome display manager [18:31] ejwaxx: Thanks [18:32] guntbert: what derogatory terms are you talking about? pffft. [18:32] Hello together, can anybody recommend me a screencast-recording tool, that actually works for him ? [18:32] alokito: would you have nay advise for someone who can't loggin into their system? I can't loggin, I loggin and the loggin screen just returns. I have seem something about building a new xauth file in term when I stop gdm and try to startx, can you help? === nero_ is now known as ubunturookie [18:32] Xfact, ok... [18:32] alokito: no no...that was another totally not related question to you about compiz....the gdm topic was going on with him.... [18:32] Hydrosis: read back - I'm not going to repeat your statements [18:32] Abongile, maybe your graphics driver is not functioning [18:33] guntbert: you seem to have a different understanding of what constitues derogatory. Perhaps you shoudl google the word. [18:33] Abongile, there was a handy xfix menu in ubuntu recovery mode but it's now gone in karmic :( [18:33] Hydrosis: just drop it - and please stay calm [18:34] Xfact: Glad I could help ease the pain. Synaptic will inform of you updates and untill you figure out what about your system does not like the newer kernel uncheck the kernel updates in the update manager. Cheers!! [18:34] guntbert: please do not center me out without explaining why. Poor social skills you got there, mate. [18:35] ok Hans_Henrik, i have an answer for you: yes, you can mount the image you make with dd, you just need to specify "-o loop" as a parameter [18:35] Abongile: thanks [18:35] and add/remove files from it? [18:35] and yes, any changes you make while it is mounted will be saved to the image [18:35] maverick_: big thanks for your help. I think I got it working. Need to double check. [18:36] ejwaxx: yay! thanks [18:36] dear All, how can i make GNU screen sourcing /etc/profile.d/* at every new window create? [18:36] Help, how can I disable GNOME from starting on boot? Ubuntu Server. I disabled it via any way I know, run level, update-rc.d and service stop. What did I miss? [18:36] Hydrosis: i got this heavy lag..problems with my ISP..great that you got it sorted out [18:37] alokito: Why do you suspect the graphics card? It's a loggin problem if I can see a loggin screen then the graphics card is doing it's job right? === ExtremePC is now known as i00nsu [18:37] Abongile, not always, but sometimes its graphics card "driver" problem, not the card itself :) [18:38] aloito: yeah there was and dpkg-reconfigire-xserver-xorg does seem to help at all. Nor dpkg-reconfigure-a. Any ideas? [18:38] can I copy /usr/share/fonts/truetype to another computer if I want to use them? [18:39] is there a way to compoile dvdauthor in ubunutu .. reason why im askig this is because it always segfaults on me [18:39] yup [18:39] Abongile not sure if it is related but does your .ICEauthority have the good read/write permission and the good owner?

[18:40] what is the difference between generic and generic-pae kernel?

[18:41] Abongile, from ubuntu* repo [18:42] I start from a LiveCD and when I run install, it detects just a USB-connected drive, not an internal one. But when I load Ubuntu from CD, it detects internal HD and can easily mount all partitions on it. What can be the problem? [18:43] any suggestions? :-/ === remek__ is now known as remczas [18:43] xoom: there seems to be a misunderstanding. What is the difference beween "start from a LiveCD" and "load Ubuntu from CD"? [18:43] woah 8.12 Ati CCC has adaptive AA and Catalyst AI [18:43] finally:D [18:44] how do I change the password ? pwd ? [18:44] passwd [18:44] mind you if you have an encrypted home thats not a good idea [18:44] JenniferB: system/preferences/about me === kb is now known as Guest19919 [18:44] everyone: does anyone think that reinstalling gdm can cause problem in Ubuntu? [18:45] guntbert: does that one also update the loginpassphrase for the home encryption key? [18:45] Xfact, no [18:45] Xfact, it shouldn't [18:45] acicula: are you referring to Shwack's problem? did he finally get it sorted? [18:46] guntbert: no referring to JenniferB's question and your answer [18:46] and does anyone also think reinstalling gdm can solve any problem related to gdm or it'll remain same until I ma reputing more files with it.... [18:46] the password is linked to the encryption key afaik? [18:46] ubuntu still the reigning king of desktop linux ;is there other linux you think that can beat that [18:46] xfact: I can assure you, that I can fathom anything nasty, there worst is being back where you started. stop gdm /etc/init.d/gdm stop, I just removed and not purged sudo apt-get remove gdm, if you choose to reboot you machine should complain with some loud short beeps and then long as it is shutting down, when you get back in you'll be taken to the terminal loggin prompt, loggin and apt-get install gdm, reboot, sudo apt-get update, sudo [18:46] so if you just change the passwd you cant unwrap your key and access your encrypted home [18:47] How is GNOME started? I disabled it everywhere. Any clues? [18:47] alokito: from the repo [18:47] I have a very basic que... [18:47] soon after installation if i run apt-get -f install i see a whole bunch of pkgs to be installed/removed/ upgraded or whatever.. then if i do apt-get update && apt-get -f install i see only a few pkgs that are to be newly installed. [18:47] what does this mean? [18:47] im new to this...: [18:47] wrapster: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:47] No, it's all the same - I boot from the LiveCD and run install. It doesn't detect the SATA HD - only USB one. I then continue to boot from this CD and then Ubuntu detects both USB and SATA drive. I then run install once again from loaded Ubuntu and happens the same thing - only USB HD is available to install. But SATA drive does have a Linux partitions on it, along with NTFS and I was able to install SUSE on it. [18:47] what's a basic command line stream player in ubuntu? (which handles mp3 streams) [18:47] Deathspike where did you disable gnome ? [18:48] cemc: mplayer pretty much plays anything [18:48] Abongile, hmm then it shouldn't be driver related. as repo driver is automatically compiled into new kernels [18:48] hey guys how can i stop ubuntu desktop from booting upto a desktop. just have the computer reboot only to a shell [18:48] well I am going to do something gdm...privately! Wish me luck :) bye [18:48] acicula: more basic than mplayer :) [18:48] Deathspike gnome is automatic started as part of ubuntu-desktop [18:48] guys any one pls help [18:48] OerHeks: Disabled it in run levels (sysv-rc-conf), services (service stop gdm) and via update-rc.d -f gdm remove [18:48] Hi, does anybody know how to measure usb-mouse pooling rate? [18:48] It still boots. [18:49] acicula: I only wanted to show a GUI way too [18:49] Deathspike normally, i suggest you install KDE, then remove ubuntu ( gnome ) from software [18:49] cemc, audacious2 [18:49] hi [18:49] xfact: have no fear and be prepared to break things as you learn, at least that's my attitude it only gets plainful when you stuff a crucual machine like me. My media centre is down which means no TV, Movies or Music for the entire household. It's pain but it's worth remembring that open source is learning game, expect to break things or for things not to work as "advertised" without some effort on your part. [18:50] OerHeks: I have Ubuntu Server installed since it is a server. It just persist in booting my added GNOME :\ [18:50] guntbert: what was that? [18:51] anyone here? [18:51] exit [18:51] experimenting with irssi [18:52] wrapster: I'm not sure what the problem is that you're describing, it seems normal to me. Although why are you using the -f argument? [18:52] Hi, does anybody know how to measure usb-mouse pooling rate? [18:52] alokito: so what do you think? [18:53] Pici: the issue is someting else here.. Im working on nexenta right now.. and to test the latest build to see if things are broken i ran -f install before update.. then again ... [18:53] Abongile, probably xserver misconfiguration [18:53] that gave me these results [18:53] guntbert: well i just looked it up, using about me to change the password seems to make sure that the encryption remains working, just hammering in changepwd on the console wont(and break your encryption system) [18:53] since it was related to apt i thought i'll ask here [18:54] i just want to know the differnce with what I did.. so that I can know how to fix it [18:54] Pici: pls help [18:54] Abongile: what kind of media centre do you run, out of interest? [18:54] wrapster: We cannot provide support for nexenta here, sorry. [18:54] Abongile, right now I don't know how to fix it since xfix is gone [18:54] Pici: hmm well it was an issue with apt right [18:54] nexenta or not.. [18:54] daftykins: mythbuntu since 8.04 now some serious pain with 9.10 [18:54] thats y i asked.. [18:55] anyway ...sorry for the trouble [18:55] wrapster: Lots of operating systems use apt, Ubuntu didn't invent it. [18:55] Deathspike sudo apt-get remove gnome [18:55] Abongile: ah right :) i'm awaiting delivery of an ASRock Ion so i can run XBMC on top of Ubuntu on my HDTV \o/ [18:55] OerHeks I need to start it when I need to do some administrative tasks. So I don't want it gone :P [18:55] Pici: yeah i understand .. but the logic behind it working is the same right.. so asked.. [18:55] MerlinW: I was thinking more along the lines of mpg123 which I just found :) thanks [18:55] OerHeks: Just disabled.. [18:55] Deathspike ic [18:55] acicula: so that wouldn't change the passphrase but the wrapping [18:56] abongile: Result out: nothing changed all same as before... :( [18:56] guntbert: yes [18:56] JenniferB: a GUI way to change your password [18:56] guntbert: i think so anyway [18:56] Deathspike if you need it, occasionelly, leave it as it is [18:56] About to try and play some NES roms without sound (cant fix this sound problem that arose out of thin air) and I see an option to enable OpenGL Rendering. What is this and should I enable it? [18:56] acicula: good to know [18:57] hi, anybody!!!!! [18:57] OerHeks: Do you happen to know the performance impact of having it on all the time (RAM/CPU wise)? [18:57] abongile: well the earlier kernel is just 0.0.2 old... and I will do something next day, but thanks [18:57] daftykins: well xbmc is a geat app, I used for the windows machines but used mythtv frontend on my linux fontends. I don know how to get livetv on XBMC so I stuck to the mythfrontend which has borrowed a lot from XBMC in this 9.10 distro. Any idea on my problem? [18:57] everyone: repairing ubuntu via it's setup CD is possible? [18:57] Xfact: sure [18:58] Abongile: nah sorry, got no experience with mythtv [18:58] OerHeks: GNOME seems to almost double the memory consumption :( === goose is now known as CodeGoose [18:58] For what term do I have to search in the terminal log when cfv tells me there are "chksum file errors"? [18:58] acicula: without losing any major data? [18:58] xfact really sorry:-(, will keep thinking. [18:58] About to try and play some NES roms without sound (cant fix this sound problem that arose out of thin air) and I see an option to enable OpenGL Rendering. What is this and should I enable it? [18:58] Xfact: depends on how you do it i suppose [18:58] Deathspike why do you need gnome on a server ? [18:58] xfact: at least your older kernel is standing by you. [18:59] hey - which command line file manager is the most similar to e.g. nautilus in terms of functions? [18:59] acicula: have you seen http://www.linux-mag.com/id/7568/1/ ? [18:59] guntbert: prolly not [18:59] OerHeks: Administrative purposes, I occasionally manage the processes using GUI's [19:00] abongile: no need to be sorry it's an experiment to reveal some new problem causes... thanks you helped me :) [19:00] What is OpenGL Rendering and should I enable it while playing NES roms in GFCE? [19:00] daftykins: my challenge is loggin, i can't loggin into a graphical environment. I loggin, the screen flickers and the loggin prompt is retuned. [19:00] Abongile: Ain't your second kernel working...? [19:00] Hydrosis: OpenGL rendering is the way grapics are handled. Linux is only capable of this and most 2D/3D games are build on it. You want it enabled, if at all possible, software rendering is a bit.. sad. [19:00] Abongile: or you got way? [19:00] Abongile: ah right, sounds like X.org issues - did you clean install Karmic as a base, or did you upgrade install...? [19:00] acicula: on page 2 is stated :This design allows them to change their system password, while eCryptfs simply re-wraps the mount passphrase without needing to re-encrypt all of the home directory contents. - sounds as if the whole thing *should* runn smoothly with passwd too [19:01] Deathspike: I usually play games without it on. What difference does it make to have in enabled if the games already work? [19:01] Anyone that knows how cancel a blacklisted driver? [19:01] guntbert: read what it says, it rewraps(reencrypts) whatever it uses to decrypt the system with the login pwd, so it needs to do that when you change the passwd [19:02] Xfact: No it isn't, and that's what's depressing cause I have always been doing that since 8.04 where I at least know that I can drop "back" now no such luck not matter what kernel I choose exactly the same problem. [19:02] Hydrosis:: It'll take advantage of your graphics card (ever noticed they are directx/opengl capable with some version?) and improve performance. Old games, such as NES games, don't really care about it since software rendering can handle it, but that uses the CPU rather then your graphics card. [19:03] Abongile: so now you are chatting from....? [19:03] acicula: right - I assumed (but not checked) that that was a task of ecryptfs [19:03] hi there [19:03] Hello there! [19:03] guntbert: well it is, but you still need to tell ecryptfs at some point : this was the old pwd, and this is the new one [19:04] I am not sure now, I think this was a clean install but I can't be completely sure because of the number of times I have reinstalled my system. Now my issue I have data on both my drives and can't just clean install. [19:04] may i ask a quesiton [19:04] I need help with a driver that stops working everytime i reeboot my computer. [19:04] acicula: it seems so - heads up for now :) [19:04] hekdahl: which driver? [19:04] can I get a minimal CLI install from the normal ubuntu CD or do I need the minimal CD? [19:05] Xfact: for the wireless. [19:05] hekdahl: ohh... [19:05] emes alternative disc for that is also an option i believe [19:05] daftykins: I also remove xserver-xorg today and reinstalled, I removed gdm and reinstalled and back exactly where I started. Come to think of it I think I upgraded this one cause DHCP services were running fine in 9.04 and not all with no clue where to find them in 9.10, so I think this was an upgrade [19:05] Xfact: I was struggeling to get it to work. So i tried with Ndiswrapper. [19:06] Abongile: it might be worth trying to delete/backup the gnome related configs in your home folder [19:06] Xfact: But then it turned out that i only had to upgrade the kernel. [19:06] i've gotta go cook food now, back later [19:06] hekdahl: well,...difficult [19:06] Xfact: When i tried with Ndiswrapper i had to run a command like "blacklist BCM43xx [19:06] Xfact: Ubuntu Netbook Remix, on Dell Inspiron Mini. [19:07] Xfact: Can it have something to do with that? [19:07] Abongile: ohh... [19:07] daftykins: what exactly is the alternate disc? [19:08] Xfact: Now the ubuntu driver works butt it stops working everytime i reeboot. [19:08] hekdahl: well ,I think I am not the right person to take suggestion about this problem you should ask somebody else... [19:08] Xfact: Ok then, Thanx anyway. [19:08] hekdahl: :) [19:09] Anyone hwo is good with wireless drivers? [19:09] daftykins: back and delete gnome configs? [19:09] Is there any easy way to block certain site? ex. Facebook? [19:09] Pekka: opendns [19:09] Well anyway I have to say Karmic is not a STABLE release!

[19:10] Can you tell me some simple way to turn on and off? [19:10] How should I run ubuntu in ms vm? [19:10] Hey guys i installed ubuntu 9.10 dektop edition while i was learning.

[19:11] Pure: download the ubuntu iso and configure a virtualbox instance like you would normally? [19:11] Doonz: you, hopefully [19:11] My wireless driver stops working everytime i reeboot. Anyone that can help me with that? [19:11] thats a reinstall [19:11] It wouldn't install [19:11] i just want to remove the dektop funtionality [19:11] When I selected install it just shown the bios cursour [19:11] edju: xorg.0.log has it [19:11] Doonz: you could uninstall/disable gdm [19:12] I can't record from Line Input [19:12] Does anybody know why? [19:12] anyone knows about any 'spacial feature' that is only available in karmic and so you like karmic verymuch? [19:12] Xfact: there is any? [19:13] Doonz: System > Administration > Login Screen. Think that is what you want. [19:13] DaZ: no so I am asking...I think karmic has nothing but only latest version supports... [19:13] DaZ: it's 'unstable'! [19:13] Xfact: and that's enough [; [19:14] Xfact: bs. [19:14] blakkheim: yeah the unistall did what i wanted === MaT-dg1 is now known as MaT-dg [19:15] had anybody this problem? ubuntu install doesn't see my harddisk partitions...

[19:15] there a gui to dvdauthor ? [19:15] blakkheim: no, i can mount it from console (nautilus, hm, can't do it too) [19:15] Xfact: cool story bro, what do you want us to do?

[19:16] Xfact: I feel the same [19:16] Xfact: this is a support channel people does not come here to say "everything works like a charm; thanks" [19:16] does ubuntu server have inetd install by default? [19:17] blakkheim: well, nothing just do your 'help jobs' batter to rescue people from attack of bad koala! [19:17] after i updated my kernel last night i am stuck with an icon saying that i don't have my ethernet plugged in. is there a way to get rid of this icon? [19:17] blakkheim: what fstab? [19:18] blakkheim: i'm loading from ubuntu livecd... [19:18] myanex: /etc/fstab - it's where the partitions you want automounted on startup are listed [19:18] And I wish soon karmic and after lucid will be a great release that people will love to use without any complaints! [19:18] myanex: oh nvm then [19:18] Ubuntu is the best!! out of the box install works; flawlessly. [19:18] Xfact, thats user error, Karmic way more stable as any ubuntu distro. By the way, 10.4 will LTS, wait for it [19:18] yea... [19:19] Xfact: if stability is your main concern, why don't you use something like debian or freebsd? [19:19] bastid_raZor: not all) [19:19] myanex: every install `ever` [19:20] blakkheim: or 8.04 [19:20] Xfact: most of us (if not all of us) here are volunteering to help other people here. We are not professional support engineers or full time helpdesk employees. Also there is no such thing as an OS without any problems. [19:20] hey guys... if anyone is interested, I found a site where a fellow created several simple but fairly interesting xsplash animations....you need to go to google translate espiralx.org spanish to english...then click on "share" then on "gnome" and there is a list of items the fellow has apparenlty created for gnome including xsplash [19:20] MaT-dg: i just got my check for helping last month.. you didn't get yours? [19:20] coz_: why are you advertising here? [19:21] coz_: nice [19:21] Xfact, the system is very stable. The 3rd party porgs like Gnome, mplayer, etc.. is a different story, they not the Ubuntu fault [19:21] well with stability I also need support it has same value, and Uduntu gives great support, batter then all! and I am not Ubuntu, maybe sometimes I feel unhappy with it's performance, but most of the time it gives me much batter then all! [19:21] blakkheim, if you consider giving users an opertunity to embelish their systems advertising,,,then so be it [19:21] is the ubuntu ppc port competitive with other ppcs ports in terms of features, stability, functionality? [19:21] if u using QT apps on GTK system also [19:21] coz_: he's new here.. :\ [19:21] bastid_raZor: no, where do I sign up for that? [19:21] Xfact: debian and freebsd have great support. i think you should give debian a try if you need stability over the latest versions of things [19:22] bastid_raZor, as ok then sorry blakkheim :) [19:22] bastid_raZor: i'm not new here [19:22] khaije|amalt, dont u mean ppa? [19:22] MerlinW: never mind, I know it's stable, it's just release so need more updates and all, thanks to you guys that you are helping us without any profit :) [19:22] MaT-dg: they contacted me. *shrug* [19:23] MerlinW: no ppc, the ppc arch is a community port these days apparently, just wondering about it's general quality [19:23] ahh [19:23] ok then:) [19:23] blakkheim: but my Friend suggest me to use Ubuntu and I heard currently it's the most famous linux distro of all time... [19:24] Xfact: it is the most POPULAR. it's based on debian and made more user-friendly. debian is rock solid. [19:24] i dont know ether [19:24] this is a support channel go to #ubuntu-offtopic [19:25] there is no such thing as a truly brainless "user friendly" linux distro. that is why it is not as commercial as osx and win [19:26] blakkheim:debian and freebsd is easy to handle like ubuntu, because it's website is not impressive like Ubuntu, no support no wiki no packages...nothing....

[19:36] erUSUL: Make sure they know flash is the problem because it's proprietary suckiness, not compiz ;) [19:37] grepory, you can also consider audacious (a gtk port of xmms which could possibly have a media keyboard plugin), [19:37] If it could be fixed in compiz it would have already [19:37] airtonix: i'm probably giving up after rhythmbox.

[20:43] iceroot: If I install gpodder from the software center, it give me .16, but the current version is 2.X [20:43] asuming it was installed with the installer, then aptitude remove theProgram should fly [20:43] Where do you find the black and white glowing screen files in Ubuntu 9.10 so you can customize them? [20:43] i've got a problem with my wireless network ralink usb stick [20:43] iceroot: Will it install the updated verstion if I apt-get upgrade? [20:43] Xpistos|work: repos are always older [20:44] i've updated the kernel in my karmic and it suddenly stopped working [20:44] Xpistos|work: no [20:44] the official ralink drivers don't even compile [20:44] Xpistos|work: just security updates, no function-updates [20:44] the ubuntu HardwareSupport page shows that the best is the original drivers (which don't compile) [20:44] I'm talking about the screen that comes up right after GRUB and before xsplash [20:44] is there any way to use the drivers i had before the kernel update? [20:45] #ubuntu-support [20:45] iceroot: So if I want up to date versions I need to use the ppa? [20:45] owner: i'd like to know that too.. [20:45] Xpistos|work: yes or use backports [20:45] :D [20:45] !backports | Xpistos|work [20:45] Xpistos|work: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [20:45] check [20:45] tibrox: that is simply false [20:45] trijntje I've tried looking in the grub2 for clues [20:45] ok [20:45] ghost10, what error do you geT? [20:46] erUSUL: OK I go to places Conncet to server Winshare username, pass, domain WORKGROUP and connect and nothing happens :( [20:46] I've also been searching for any files containing the text xsplash [20:46] My computer is still searching :D [20:46] Diverdude: usually the README should contain instructions for removal - often there is a make target 'uninstall' [20:46] owner: google ubuntu splash screen customization [20:46] owner, i know the image you get just before login is in /usr/share/images/xsplash [20:46] trijntje, owner, an interesing question... [20:46] trijntje: Right I figured that one out. [20:47] owner: pretty sure there are a bunch of threads about it that demo how to do it [20:47] what program can i use that will shuffle my playlist before burning? The inestimable brasero doesn't seem to do this and I don't want k3b with all the kdelibs [20:47] trijntje, owner, please let me know if you find anything :) [20:47] acicula: I've been searching for quite some time now. All I can find is info about the xsplash and other people asking the same question. [20:48] Hi. How can I see a Windows display from a remote machine on my local 9.10 through VNC? [20:48] I think the Canotical folks are really proud of their logo. === ian_mac is now known as dude5246 [20:48] kamil_sk: Places>Network>Windows network does not work either? [20:49] All righty. At wits end with a problem. I'm using 9.10 on a Dell Inspiron 1505 (ATI Mobility x1300 This will be relevant in due time.) I was trying to get compiz to work because I wanted to show the 'desktop cube' off to someone. [20:49] lgc: installing vnc server on Wins [20:49] lgc, rdp would be easiest if the windows box supports it, if not install just about any vnc server on it. [20:49] lgc: with vncviewer [20:49] owner, nu1 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplash [20:49] The xsplash is the ubuntu splash screen. However there is another splash that comes before it and it's not grub2's splash screen. [20:49] kamil_sk, has the windows box had its sharing changed to 'simple sharing' ? [20:49] does Ubuntu have a policy on responsible disclosure? [20:49] trijntje Ubuntu 9.10 no longer uses Usplash but Xsplash. [20:49] anyone of you know any different vulnerability scanner nessus [20:50] Some have referred to the screen before Xplash as X11 Boot Screen [20:50] kamil_sk, if not, then turn it on and try again. [20:50] I read in a tutorial that envyng could be used to get the latest ati drivers. Ran it, it claimed to automatically find the drivers. Great. Installed the drivers and did a reboot. Upon startup, I get a message saying "Ubuntu has entered low graphics mode because no graphics config can be found" [20:50] Hi all, ive been trying to get more than 2 monitor to work on ubuntu 9.10. I get to the point of having 2 (same videocard) in twinview and the other one as a seperate X. I tried xinerama but at login all screens flashes and doesnt give the login prompt [20:50] hey_man: how do you mean, if its ubuntu specific best to contact the maintainer directly or go upstream with a report? === chaky_ is now known as chaky [20:50] well... [20:50] airtonix: Ok [20:50] hey_man: there is also a ubuntu security team [20:50] hola alguien conose algun escaner de vulnerabilidades diferente al nessus [20:50] cro2h, have a look at sectools.org [20:50] I mean, is it Ubuntu policy to disclose before publishing? [20:50] kamil_sk, i assume you know how to turn on 'simple sharing' within the windows machine ? [20:51] I followed the directions to remove the drivers from envyng (envyng --uninstall-all) and it claimed that it uninstalled the drivers. I reboot again and now upon x starting, I get the ubuntu login screen. I log in and all I get is a grey screen. [20:51] owner, ah I see, ill google again ;) [20:51] hey_man: you mean like forward notification of planned patches? [20:52] What I hope to find is a config file containing the word xsplash or bg_2560x1600.jpg because that config file would control the boot process or at least the xsplash. If there is a file controlling Xsplash then there is probably a file controling whatever comes before it. [20:52] cro2h: there is one which is a fork from Nessus 2.2 http://www.openvas.org/ [20:52] If we can isolate that file then we can ask it for directions. [20:52] :D [20:52] well, I mean, do you guys suggest recommended security practices of contacting the vendor first and waiting for a fix before publishing a vulnerability report [20:52] owner, are you sure, when I google xsplash i only get pictures from the ubuntu logo you see just before startup [20:52] acicula, Kieran0413, giiker, thanks. I just installed VNC on the Windows side. But there's VNC Server service or user mode, and a bunch of options that puzzle me. [20:52] Right! [20:52] sorry for not b eing clear [20:52] Is there a way to restore the previous settings that were working perfectally fine before I mucked about with them? [20:52] That's exactly what the xsplash is [20:52] however there is a screen that comes before the xsplash [20:53] hey_man, isn't that the recommended course of action in any case ? [20:53] hey_man: that typically is the nice way to disclose [20:53] yeah, isnt that Xsplash owner? [20:53] okay [20:53] in 9.10 it's a white logo with a black background that glows [20:53] it comes up before the xsplash. [20:53] here I'll give you a tip. [20:53] I just noticed one of your security team members not following that, and I was confused [20:53] hey_man, it's not cricket otherwise [20:53] lgc, you'll probably want service mode if you want it to run all of the time, as I said though if you're running XP Pro/Vista Ultimate or whatever the alternative is for 7 rdp would be a far easier option. [20:53] it seems one should remove all files using rm -r to uninstall matlab. Do ubuntu have some sort of central register like windows registration database? [20:53] If you look in the xsplash directory in Ubuntu you won't find it. [20:53] So it's somewhere else [20:53] Diverdude: no [20:53] lgc, you might be best looking at the docs for whatever vnc server it is you're using otherwise [20:54] Everything for the xsplash except the config file is in the xsplash directory [20:54] hey_man: example ? [20:54] so then the question is where is the config. [20:54] I don't wish to disclose that here [20:54] And does it have some crazy file extension like .mod [20:54] is there somebody I can send a report to? [20:54] !who | owner [20:54] owner: 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 :) [20:54] Kieran0413, I just want to have my Windows display on my Ubuntu. [20:54] owner /usr/share/images/xsplash has the background and the ubuntu logo [20:54] lgc, Which version of windows are you running? [20:54] Kieran0413, Xp Pro. [20:54] trijntje you are half right [20:54] erUSUL, so doing rm-r would be an okay way of deletinga program? [20:55] acicula: nevermind, I'll find somebody [20:55] lgc, google how to set up Remote Desktop. Once that's done you can connect directly from the Remote Desktop Viewer on ubuntu with minimal set up [20:55] hey_man: you want to complain about personal disclosure practice of someone affiliated with ubuntu? [20:55] Diverdude, mind the space between the command and its option. [20:55] lgc, should be far easier [20:55] trijntje it is the background, and the ubuntu logo but only for the xsplash. Before that comes a screen that is black with the white ubuntu logo without the word Ubuntu. [20:55] acicula: yes [20:55] trijntje, xsplash is indeed to thing that controls the starup animation prior to the login screen [20:55] Diverdude: you should use packagemanagment if possible. you should look maybe matlab installer has an uninstall option [20:56] Diverdude: becouse i doubt matlab install everytihng under a single folder [20:56] trijntje, actually i was wrong its the animation after the login screen [20:56] hey_man: then id start with the person in question or his/her team, though not sure what you want to achieve? [20:56] trijntje I once thought the file was located in HumanLoginIcons because I found such a logo there. It was too small and changing it did nothing. [20:56] acicula: fair enough [20:56] owner, yes, but you said that that thing was also called xsplash now? [20:56] thx [20:56] erUSUL, well...there is unfortunately no uninstaller i think [20:56] guys i'm a bit lazy to do a whole whackload of research.. if anyone is familiar with various media platforms, could you give me a quick 411 on the advantages/disadvantages of running mythtv, boxee and xbmc on a karmic box? [20:56] trijntje it's just an icon theme for your desktop [20:57] trijntje there are two seperate splash screens you see durring boot [20:57] Kieran0413, Remote Desktop Connection is another app, AFAIK. [20:57] airtonix,erUSUL: Thanks guys it works :) [20:57] ameya, nah it does not work. How can I patch that lib? [20:57] airtonix, i believe its both before and after login.. [20:57] I Am receiving a message (capabilities mismatch) in ubuntu one icon. I am using ubuntux64. Is it supported already, or is ubuntu one having problems? [20:57] kamil_sk: no problem [20:57] FiReSTaRT, They're all completely different, myth is TV oriented, xbmc is best for local media (in my opinion), boxee is for 'social' stuff. [20:57] trijntje one is xsplash (the second one) and one is referred to as "Boot Splash" "X11" or X11 Boot Screen. === funkyHat is now known as funkyBeret [20:57] Is Ubuntu one supposed to sync my Tomboy notes? [20:57] airtonix: BTW I don't know if I used dimple sharing I just ran the wizard [20:57] trijntje no one has a name for it yet because they haven't found it. [20:57] kamil_sk, remember that bit next time you setup smb sharing between a windows machine and a linux machine...(it'll save much time) [20:58] lgc, Yeah it is, I assumed you didn't explicitly require vnc since you said all you wanna achieve is viewing of your windows display and for that rdp would be easier, if you require vnc look at the documentation for the vnc server you installed to set it up [20:58] hi [20:58] owner, yeah.. That why I cant google for how to change it, it has no name. Crazy stuf. [20:58] trijntje does that help clear things up? [20:58] Kieran0413: here's the deal.. i wanna use the computer for local media, network media and as a tv dvr.. i only gave mythtv a quick whirl but couldn't easily figure out how to open local content [20:58] kamil_sk, >> http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304040 [20:58] trijntje now we must become hackers [20:58] wausdu, what is the version of libv4l do you have? [20:58] owner, yes, I think we are on the same page again :) [20:58] Kieran0413: do xbmc and boxee have tv reception and mce remote capabilities? [20:58] owner, we cant be the only two people who want to do that .. [20:59] FiReSTaRT: boxee and xmbc has no dvr capabilities afaik [20:59] wausdu, i guess you will need this patch: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/36154071/add_USBID_064e_a136_for_Asus_UL30.diff [20:59] trijntje, wasn;t this called usplash in prior versions of ubuntu ? [20:59] trijntje Isn't it ironic that we have to hack an open source project? [20:59] FiReSTaRT, I'd just have a play about and see what fits your needs. XBMC doesn't have TV support however it can connect to a myth-backend to watch tv/your recorded shows [20:59] trijntje and that there is no documentation or boot manager to change it? === funkyBeret is now known as funkyHat [20:59] FiReSTaRT, So XBMC with a myth-backend may be what you're after, otherwise read up a bit more on configuring myth-frontend :) [20:59] airtonix: I hope it'll just work next time :) [20:59] trijntje, owner, you're not, If I had more time I would help :( === mp_lunch is now known as mediaprodigy [20:59] airtonix, I dont know, the terms are confusing me.. [20:59] Thank once again and goodbye [21:00] erUSUL, I installed it with: sudo tar -zxvf /tmp/matlabr2008b.tgz so i guess there is no uninstall program right? [21:00] trijntje, does this shed any light on the issue ? >> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Karmic/Boot [21:00] Firestart: XBMC does [21:00] Diverdude: right; just deleting the folder is enough [21:00] I use XBMC personally [21:00] karmst: so it does have pvr capabilities? what about using an mce remote? [21:00] trijntje I don't want to say anything negative to get booted or anything but I think canotical is doing some things with their influence on Ubuntu that are not completely open source or necessarily for the good of the community. [21:00] yes I use my MCE remote on it [21:00] Is ubuntuone supported for x64 architecture? [21:01] FiReSTaRT, It doesn't have its own pvr stuff but as said you can use it in conjunction with a myth-backend to do that, mce remote works fine [21:01] nu1: sure [21:01] you need the MCE remote plugin for it [21:01] nullvariable, yes [21:01] !ubuntuone [21:01] nu1: called amd64 [21:01] Ubuntu One is a service where you can back up, store, sync and share your data with other Ubuntu One users - For more see https://one.ubuntu.com/ [21:01] trijntje I'll keep hacking [21:01] Wha ha ha ha ha [21:01] owner, you think? I dont know, if we find out we have to write a howto ;) [21:01] owner, it's "CaNonical", with an "n". [21:01] Kieran0413: perfect.. and im pretty sure it can take full advantage of the ion chipset :P [21:01] where do I set path ENV variables I want recognized when I run sudo? [21:01] FiReSTaRT, Yeup, I have it running on an Ion 330, works beautifully ;) [21:01] airtonix, looks promising, thanks [21:02] trijntje lgc sorry for the spalling errur . I would definitely write a how to as long as I get credit or maybe just a script that does it for you. [21:02] trijntje, you are not talking about this screen are you ? http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=139724&d=1260735745 [21:02] Kieran0413: guess what i'm gonna run it on ;) i love my new little revo.. it was a beotch setting it up with mythbuntu so i ended up just erasing it and installing straight karmic [21:02] trijntje with Microsoft's Windows you have to hack it just to get it to work the way you want it to, now with Canotical products it's looking the same. [21:02] !acroread [21:02] iceroot, for some reason, I cannot connect to ubuntu one I do not know why. I installed ubuntu for 64 bit, so I thought it was not supported yet or something else... [21:03] do I need an antivirus for linux? [21:03] !acrobat [21:03] pdf is the Portable Document Format created by Adobe; viewable in GNU/Linux with xpdf/kpdf/okular/evince, and also adobe reader (free download, but closed source) [21:03] !virus| raul_ [21:03] raul_: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [21:03] raul_ no [21:03] raul_: only if you are sharing files with windows users and you want to protect them from viruses [21:03] trijntje the only good thing Ubuntu has going for it is that it is very stable, supports lots of apps, and has lots of drivers. [21:03] FiReSTaRT, Yeup, works beautifully though to be honest I've not tried the XBMC with Mythbackend much, only for playing about, seems to work great though, just play around a bit and see, myth can be a pain to configure though so make sure you read the docs [21:03] how do I install the adobe acrobat reader? [21:03] trijntje I'm Justin Breithaupt. www.justuselinux.com [21:03] owner: Would not Xplash not be in /init.d/ as it has to be called on boot somewhere? [21:04] Hi. [21:04] jellow good idea [21:04] i have a scenario im trying to figure out... ive got packages that users install, but i want a "migration" script to run after the install (as the current mortal user logged into gnome) [21:04] i notice for kernel updgrades and such, a "reboot is required box" pops up in the tray.. guessing dbus... can someone point me to a shell script example of how to do this? [21:04] Mmmmm Jell-o [21:04] Hi [21:04] alesan: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu this page has the info u need on installing acrobat if you dont like opening pdfs with evince (the built in viewer) [21:05] haha [21:05] just installed Ubuntu 9.04 on my laptop today [21:05] hi [21:05] samuel: Congratulations. [21:05] I just wacked my Windows 7 partition =) [21:05] me too [21:05] owner: remember, this channel is publicly logged - so you may want to reveal some info only in PM :) [21:05] Was everyone worrying about the RC license expiring then? xD [21:06] airtonix, Cant view that, i'm not a forum member [21:06] Got a netbook for Christmas and only used the Windows that came with it to download Ubuntu. :-) [21:06] its a Dell Studio 15 [21:06] Is there an easy way to restore a previous graphic card config after envyng (and the user :0)) broke the config? [21:06] Kieran0413: isnt that till march? [21:06] no I just like Ubuntu so much better than 7 after using it for 2 weeks [21:06] I'm not affraid [21:06] gunbert [21:06] acicula, Yeah it is, I was just testing though and didn't wanna be greeted with "Blah blah has expired" [21:07] but I can't upgrade to 9.10 because it won't boot when I do :( [21:07] samuel, what error do you get? [21:07] a blank screen [21:07] Why won't GRUB let me boot from Windows? [21:07] hmmm i experience extreme lag on my ubuntu-machine, but when i run top there is not really any processes taking up the processor...How can i figure out what causes the lag? [21:08] samuel, do you have any important data in ubuntu 9.04 installation? [21:08] ??? [21:08] ? [21:08] Diverdude: post the top few lines from top [21:08] lgc: buddy, trust me, you wanna take this up with people on #grub.. i've had a beotch of a time with certain dual boot configurations and they helped me sort them out after hours of headaches :) [21:09] http://doiop.com/Girl_hot19 [21:09] Diverdude, if your problem is the same as mine, Xorg hogs your CPU dearly. But then it stops. [21:09] I'm trying to instal ubuntu 9.10 x86 in a old machine (athlon with vga onboard sis) .. but at the installer I only get a blackscreen .. X is trying to use a invalid video mode or anything else, I also tried to pass the parameter nomodeset to kernel.. but not effect. Anyone? [21:09] high disk activity perhaps? [21:09] samuel, because if you don't have any important data in current ubuntu installation you can just boot from 9.10 livecd and overwrite the current installation [21:09] !op|sooze [21:09] sooze: Help!

[21:09] lgc, yes that might be it because Xorg is the top process in top...but it does not eat 100% [21:09] strange, my irssi doesn't scroll down automatically as i get new messages in irssi. need to page-down to see the new messages, only happens in demonoid channel. [21:09] lgc, what do you do then to remove the lag? [21:10] lgc: neither did i until i came across those issues overseas setting up my uncle's and my cousin's machines [21:10] Ameya I don't really care Im satisfied with 9.04 [21:10] how do i can install a priter that is being shred buy a windows XP [21:10] jellow trijntje Ubuntu's explanation in their readme files says that all methods that Ubuntu 9.10 uses to boot and what it executes follows Debian's method. [21:10] Diverdude, it means Xorg has some decency left. But wait for the next releases...:). [21:10] lgc, what is Xorg? [21:11] subspider, you should be able to use it via samba theoretically (i assume) [21:11] i-ve being reading tutorials [21:11] subspider, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsXPPrinter [21:11] airtonix, no, we are not looking for the screen that you sent me [21:11] Diverdude, Xorg is the X server which supports your graphical environment [21:12] trijntje, then you mean the black and white one prior to login ? [21:12] ameya, i see...well...thats probably whats causing the problems...i hope it gets better sometime soon [21:12] airtonix, yes [21:12] airtonix, so i ahve to install samba on xp right [21:12] ?? [21:12] Diverdude, it's the graphics engine. But I don't know **** of it. Right now it's taking most of my CPU. It even slows down my typing. The good news is that it'll hopefully stop hogging your CPU all of a sudden. Probably after a couple of suspends. [21:12] I have a bit of an issue with ext2/3 [21:13] calwig, what is the problem? [21:13] lgc, what comp are you running ubuntu on? [21:13] jellow trijntje | Usplash is installed in Ubuntu 9.10 or at least scripts for it. And they are used during start up. [21:14] jellow trijntje | I have no idea how or why Usplash is involved when Ubuntu clearly states that in 9.10 they don't use it any more. [21:14] New HDD 400GB/ Formatted it on ext2/3/4 and transferred nearly 72% of data to it from a live usb ubuntu. So there is one single partition formatted, has files, data is all there. (no operating system yet) [21:14] Hello [21:14] Diverdude, it's a rather old 2GHz Dell Inspiron with 2GB RAM. Not bad, but with a single processor. [21:14] I've no sound in Karmic [21:15] What I would like to do now is install Ubuntu 9.10 on it without formatting. [21:15] trijntje, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto [21:15] brb everyone [21:15] is there any sort of ubuntu-minimal, etc type of ISO install image CD available? (for a special project). I've given up on trying to use the ubuntu-cdimage tools to create my own from scratch :-( [21:15] When I try to remove packages with Synaptic I get a lot of artifacts because not all the dependencies get destroyed. What should I do about this? [21:16] calwig, ideally you should have left some free space for partition on that HDD for installing ubuntu [21:16] lgc, i have lenovo t61p with dual core...should be good....but i think ubuntu is rather laggy anyway [21:16] !minimal | tweakt [21:16] tweakt: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [21:16] So what I have done is boot a Live DVD Ubuntu 9.10 version on this computer with the new 400gb hdd. Session comes up, click on the Install to HDD and when I get to the hdd section, it seems that the partitioner does not seem to see the journaling system (I presume thats what it is) or it cannot write to the drive directly. [21:16] guntbert: THANKS! [21:16] trijntje, i haven't tried this but : http://web.telia.com/~u88005282/sum/installation.html [21:16] Diverdude, that machine is more than enough [21:16] i've broken a package in apt-get it keeps saying The following packages will be REMOVED linux-restricted-modules-2.6.28-13-generic linux-restricted-modules-2.6.28-16-generic [21:16] tweakt: you're welcome :-) [21:17] ameya, the whole partition is ext2/3 so shouldnt I be able to install an OS this way? [21:17] not just an OS but Ubuntu (not XP/VISTA) [21:17] but when I try it fails as I already deleted the old kernel by hand how do I fix it? [21:17] subspider, no samba is the linux implementation of windows networking. [21:17] My F11 key stopped working in many of my apps (firefox, gnome-terminal, etc.) How can I test that the key is actually working and what can I do to resolve it? [21:17] guntbert: do you know if that still uses debian-installer and can be modded (uck/preseed) ? [21:17] ping [21:17] I'm back [21:17] urthmover: 1) start xev [21:17] ameya, yeah...but why is ubuntu then laggy on it? [21:17] tweakt: soory - no idea [21:17] guntbert: ok starting it now [21:18] i [21:18] guntbert: well its 12MB, wont take long to find out :-) [21:18] any major difference between initial grub2 install during karmic installation and grub2 installation after a later apt-get upgrade? it b0rked my bootloader [21:19] urthmover: when that small window has the focus every keyboard/mouse event is reported [21:19] Diverdude, I also have the T60 with dual, but only Windoze there so far. But don't blame it on Ubuntu, it's the Xorg thing. It's some piece of old but continually updated piece of software with many many patches that make it a frankenstein. It's like Windows: flawed by design (I'm reflecting other's opinions here. I repeat I don't know a thing of Xorg). [21:19] When I try to remove packages with Synaptic I get a lot of artifacts because not all the dependencies get destroyed. What should I do about this? [21:19] lgc, ahhh okay i see....i wonder if there is a way to replace Xorg with something better then [21:20] airtonix, looks old :P But that program is in the repo now, ill try [21:20] guntbert: ok I have it up and strangely both F7 and F11 are not reporting anything ..... very odd (I'm going to test on my other OS to see if its the hardware [21:20] does anyone know how to fix my prob? [21:21] Diverdude, it's ingrained in Linux (and all unices). Hopefully GNOME or KDE would take over it's low-level functions and come up with a better thing. [21:21] hello can someone help me with teamspeak 3? i cant talk but hear the other users [21:21] I deleted linux-kernel-2.6.28-13 by hand and now apt-get wants to remove the module but its broken? anyone? [21:21] lgc, i see...are there any plans on that? [21:21] Diverdude, but that's years away in the best case. [21:21] lgc, hmm damn [21:21] owner: here it says why it's so hard http://blogs.ubuntu-nl.org/dennis/2006/09/13/more-fun-with-usplash/ [21:21] lgc, is it a big module? [21:22] I guess thats a no then [21:22] Diverdude, what's more, you can blame most of your system crashes on graphics-engine related issues. [21:22] lol [21:22] trijntje I'm still not convinced that it uses usplash [21:22] trijntje every website says it does not. [21:23] lgc, hmm when was xorg created? [21:23] Polta, open synaptic /edit /fix broken packages , and it will remove it [21:23] anyone using vga SiS onboard? [21:23] trijntje Find something specifically about Ubuntu 9.10 using Usplash and I'll be sold. [21:23] hello, i have problems with booting ubuntu anyone can help? [21:24] trijntje I know you can force Ubuntu to use Usplash but that would be a very bad idea. [21:24] Diverdude, it's not a module. See it like an onion: on the center is the kernel, then the shell, then the graphics engine, then the desktop systems (GNOME, KDE, XFCE, etc.) and then the applications. Sort of. [21:24] fungos, Only with a reaaaaly old thinkpad T23, not sure that helps though? [21:24] calwig, if you can resize / reduce current partition then it will be easy to install ubuntu on newly created free space [21:24] arbri, what are your problems? Just ask and if anybody knows I'm sure they'll help [21:24] ok thnx [21:24] Can anyone help me in mounting an ext3 network share? [21:24] I can ssh into it, but would like it to be locally mounted [21:25] lgc, ohhh i kinda thought that all nix system was as opposed to windows systems module based [21:25] scott_ino2, what are you running on the server, I assume you have samba or something running? [21:25] !info sshfs [21:25] sshfs (source: sshfs-fuse): filesystem client based on SSH File Transfer Protocol. In component main, is optional. Version 2.2-1 (karmic), package size 41 kB, installed size 148 kB [21:25] ameya, I have not tried that yet, but will [21:25] Kieran0413, im using drobo and droboshare [21:25] formated as ext3 [21:25] scott_ino2, Ahh, then I honestly don't have a clue, sshfs may be an option as Dr_Willis pointed out [21:26] everyone else can see it as a network share... "network" in ubuntu doesn't seem to pick it up, but like I said I can ssh into it just fine [21:26] basically i don't want my transfers going over the net, since it's local network, ssh doesn't make sense [21:26] Diverdude, Windoze is also layer-based. On the center is DOS and its components and then the graphical interface. I suppose this is a common paradigm of operating systems design. [21:26] i've installed ubuntu 9.10 inside windows 7, and untill today everything run smoothly, but today after updating my system (i think th elinux headers were updated) when i try to run linux, it doesnt boot but it gives me a GRUB (bash) shell, anyone knows what i can do? [21:27] scott_ino2: you mean its a SAMBA share? or a NFS share? [21:27] Kieran0413, the documentation say it's using SMB/CIFS so i thought ubuntu would pick it up under "network" [21:27] Dr_Willis, yes [21:27] Ok, i added myself to the group "audio" but sound still isn't working...do i need to log out and log back in? [21:27] domjohnson: yes [21:28] Dr_Willis, according to what im reading it should be viewable as a samba/nfs share, but im wondering the "How" part of that. Like I said windows/mac sees it as a SMB share [21:28] scott_ino2, you should be able to connect to it relatively easy then Places -> Connect to Server -> Service Type: "Windows Share" via gui [21:28] if I compile a theme engine (i.c. murrine) and then opening an app says 'engine not found', what do I do? [21:28] jellow trijntje | I uncovered the secrets of Xsplash (other than just it's directories) [21:28] I am receiving a "capabilities mismatch while attempting to connect to the Ubuntu One Server. You may have installed a newer version of the client..." error. Is there any way to correct this problem, or use an older client? [21:28] !samba [21:28] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. === Aquaraptor_ is now known as Aquaraptor [21:28] jellow trijntje | First I went here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/xsplash and downloaded the source code [21:29] jellow trijntje | Now I can see exactly how it works. === j is now known as Guest65164 [21:29] an onscreen keybaord help! [21:29] when o try to start ubuntu 9.10, i see only the bash shell, any one knows why? [21:30] jellow trijntje | We are looking for a file called xsplash.conf first of all. [21:30] brb [21:30] owner, do you know where is it? [21:30] i want an onscreen keyboard help! [21:30] I'm searching [21:30] owner, pff, that hard? I cant even read code.. I'm asking in #ubuntu-artwork [21:30] nu1 [21:30] arbri, grub (the bootloader) might not be able to locate the correct kernel / initrd image [21:30] Kieran0413: are you using that Thinkpad T23 with ubuntu? which version? [21:31] how do i tell him where is the correct kernel? [21:31] Hi - is it safe to use ubuntu 5.10 as my new server OS [21:31] ? [21:31] Kieran0413, ok but then am I using the IP or the share name for the "Server" field [21:31] arbri, is it bash shell / grub shell? [21:31] jellow trijntje nu1 | This may not directly lead me where I need to go but maybe indirectly. [21:31] 5.10? probably not [21:31] yes [21:31] qwertyjustin: 5.10? err no [21:31] grub shell [21:31] because of lack of security updates etc? [21:31] qwertyjustin, that and it is just ancient [21:31] is 7.10 still supported? [21:31] qwertyjustin: why bother with one that ole? [21:31] why not use 9.10 server? [21:32] my amd sempron server doesnt seem to support the biggest latest n greatest distros [21:33] I am receiving a "capabilities mismatch while attempting to connect to the Ubuntu One Server. You may have installed a newer version of the client..." error. Is there any way to correct this problem, or use an older client? [21:33] jellow trijntje nu1 | There is a whole list of potential files that I may need to search for. [21:33] mostly just freezes when u pop in the iso discs [21:33] ameya | do you at least know of a way i can get my data from my /home directory [21:33] lgc, so xorg is the weak point of linux? [21:33] arbri, i am checking about the grub command [21:33] thnx [21:33] owner: can I pm you? [21:33] Diverdude: video card makers not releaseing specs - is the big issue [21:34] owner, I can help you if you list the files [21:34] owner, nu1 /etc/dbus-1/system.d/xsplash.conf [21:34] Kieran0413, i can get it to prompt for a password then it fails, and there's only one password haha [21:35] Kieran0413, got it working, should this local now? vs when i was ssh'ing into it? [21:36] Dr_Willis, ok...so again it boils down to lack of drivers? [21:36] huhiko [21:36] jellow trijntje nu1 | /etc/dbus-1/system.d/xsplash.conf thanks nu1 I just found it myself [21:36] scott_ino2: the users samba password can be different from their login drivers, 'sudo smbpasswd -a USERNAME' to set a samba password [21:36] arbri, can you try "linux /boot/v" [21:37] Diverdude: it lack of proper support from the HW makers to allow proper drivers to be made. [21:37] Dr_Willis, i got it ;) im in [21:37] yes i get vmlinuz-2...... [21:37] a lot filet [21:37] files [21:37] arbri, or "ls /boot" at grub shell [21:37] hi yol [21:37] Dr_Willis, wondering if this will now work locally and not have to traverse the interwebs like it was doing when uploading files via ssh [21:37] scott_ino2: thers cases where you may be better off with nfs or sshfs over samba [21:37] jellow trijntje nu1 | /etc/dbus-1/system.d/ I'm pretty sure whatever we need to find it's in this directory as far as .conf files. [21:37] when i do that i get to see the vmlinuz files! [21:37] is there anyone who knows how to install cloraine [21:38] scott_ino2: ssh to the ip should be direct as samba is. [21:38] jellow trijntje nu1 | I didn't know to look here before [21:38] scott_ino2: sshfs may be slower at transfers.. nfs will poberly be faster then samba [21:38] arbri, "linux /boot/vmlinuz-" [21:38] #ubuntu-br [21:38] sshfs is easy to get going however. [21:38] Dr_Willis, is there at all any prospects of proper support from HW makers in the future? [21:38] My computer (ubuntu 9.10 64bit) has recently started crashing back to the login randomly. Is this happening to anyone else and which log might tell me what happened? [21:38] Diverdude: every so often nvidia and ati make promises... [21:38] arbri, after linux command try: "initrd /boot/initrd-" [21:38] Dr_Willis, sigh... upload was 225k... im dealing with HUGE files here. [21:39] Diverdude: Intel seems to be giveing better support more and more [21:39] scott_ino2: nfs may be worth doing then. [21:39] Dr_Willis, but they cannnot be held up to those promises? [21:39] Dr_Willis, I'm not sure that's an option with my hardware [21:39] jellow trijntje nu1 | These conf files don't contain directories. I'm trying to get one of these files to tell me where it is going but they don't. It's almost like they have a command that executes a script that launches the file. [21:39] and the speeds i talked about was before i'm testing now [21:40] ameya | ok i'll try many thanks!!! [21:40] scott_ino2: what does nfs have to do with hardware? If ya got a linux box it can do nfs. :) [21:40] !nfs [21:40] nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [21:40] jellow trijntje nu1 | I wish these files were easier to look at. The more I look at them the more they look "closed source" instead of "Open Source" [21:40] how do i repatition my camera? [21:40] When I try to remove packages with Synaptic I get a lot of artifacts because not all the dependencies get destroyed. What should I do about this? (e.g. installing Wine installs several other things (libxxx) yet uninstalling Wine only uninstalls "wine".) [21:41] Dr_Willis, this is a droboshare.. proprietary hardware [21:41] how do i repartition my camera? [21:41] sn[a]ke: gparted [21:41] arghh2d2, thanks [21:41] why do you need to partitioon a camera.. is a good question [21:41] owner, yeah, they are chinese to me [21:42] Dr_Willis: heheh, who knows. [21:42] i have a simple bash question [21:42] jellow trijntje nu1 | how long are you guys going to be on today? [21:42] how do i pipe the results of an awk'd ls to vlc? [21:43] Maletor: If you are relatively familiar with the command line, aptitude is really good at keeping track of automatically installed dependencies. [21:43] you could maybe put a live usb image on a camera, that way your school librarian thinks your doing something legit with your camera [21:43] what torrent client is accepted by most trackers that linux provides? [21:44] i want an onscreen keyboard help! [21:44] all of them? [21:44] karmst: rtorrent works for me [21:44] how can I see what ports are listening for traffic ? [21:44] transmission, here [21:44] is rtorrent like utorrent? [21:44] harpreet_, shoot [21:44] owner, I think half an hour? its already night here [21:44] deserteagle, does this help : http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/2156 [21:44] karmst: rtorrent is ncurses [21:44] karmst: meaning command line [21:44] how can I make sure that no known has entered and left a backdoor [21:45] ah [21:45] karmst: frostwire is probly what you want [21:45] deserteagle: how can i have an onscreen keyboard? i want to type a different language with mouse [21:45] ok...what is the difference between gcc-4.4 and g++ ? [21:46] JenniferB, try running : onboard [21:46] ok but does Frostwire allow encryption? [21:46] Diverdude: C vs C++ [21:46] Hello, I ve been building wordpress sites on a shared hosting with godaddy.com I've just installed XAMPP on Ununtu Server and I have a few newbie questions. 1) where is my root directory or how do I specify. 2) Any suggestions about what I could use to manage aliased domains or DNS. 3) Is XAMPP even a good choice for running my own web hosting? [21:46] arghh2d2, isn't frostwire just linux version of limewire ? [21:46] harpreet_, hmm.... no idea then. Give cellwriter a try, i know it has onscreen and handwriting recognition, but don't know about it supporting different languages [21:47] yeah I really don't want limewire [21:47] I want something like utorrent [21:47] jacob_, why are you using xamp and not the lamp provided by the repositories :https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP [21:47] acicula, ohhhh okay.... i installed gcc-4.4...but i do not have g++. Do I need to install that seperatly? [21:47] karmst, check out deluge, can probably do what you need it to do, very versatile [21:47] JenniferB, woops mistell [21:47] !xampp | jacob_ [21:47] jacob_: We do not support XAMPP installs here. Please use the LAMP stack that is in our repositories, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP for more information. [21:47] Diverdude: thank yhou [21:47] can be daemon based etc... [21:48] Diverdude: i think so [21:48] Diverdude: try starting it? [21:48] jacob_, XAMPP is a pretty poor choice if I'm honest, XAMPP is not meant for production environments, just development and testing, you'd be best installing the lamp stack as airtonix said. [21:48] Dr_Willis, upload is much better with smb :) im on wireless and getting about 350kb/s [21:48] acicula, i cannot start it [21:49] AIRTONIX, Tasksel made it realy easy to install lamp but im so dependent on a GUI [21:49] Dr_Willis, so im guessing if i plug in i'll be good [21:49] hey yeah deluge looks promising [21:49] jacob_, why? you shouldn't need a gui for lamp [21:49] I'm getting rid of my windows torrent server and switching to ubuntu =) [21:50] jacob_: if you need a GUI for something like that, you probably shouldn't be running any kind of server (no offense) [21:50] jacob_, the only thing you need to know (in 9.10) to control lamp is : start apache2 or start mysql [21:50] how do i know if a program takes in stout as parameters? [21:50] airtonix: frostwire is one of those super all in one file sharing programs...it's the most bloated of all the torrent clients that linux offers imo, just like utorrent imo [21:50] okay [21:50] arghh2d2, utorrent is hardly bloat. [21:50] airtonix: where you talking to me ? [21:50] JenniferB, no it was a mistell [21:50] does anyone know how long fedora 11 is supported for? [21:50] airtonix: last time i used it it was [21:51] hey all.. I was wondering if anyone could help with ubuntu clients logging into a windows domain and the login scripts running. [21:51] zOMG! the technoviking is here! [21:51] arghh2d2, pretty sure something that is less than 1mb in filesize doesn;t qaulify for bloat [21:51] qwertyjustin, unless they've changed their support cycles should be two-releases after [21:51] at least that's what it used to be [21:51] how can I see what ports are open ? listening on traffick ? [21:51] so... 18months give or take [21:51] Im aware i will need to create a linux specific script but just havent done this before. [21:51] If I change an Ubuntu 8.04 Server LTS from 1 CPU to 2 CPUs, is there anything I need to do at the OS level to enable multiprocessor support? [21:51] owner, not much :( [21:51] so u jackasses can't run gta ormw2? [21:51] why not? [21:52] AIRTRONIX i've been using GoDaddy.com's shared hosting for a few years and using ubuntu as well as linux mint for desktops I'm ready to take the jump into running my own server instead of 15+ shared hosting accounts i just need a starting place. [21:52] JenniferB, you can use jnettop [21:52] JenniferB, IIRC, ports aren't opened unless a program requests them [21:52] Melvinov: check your language please [21:52] jellow trijntje nu1 | well here is a new development. /usr/bin/ has the xsplash executable. Dosen't do us any good but that's where it is. [21:52] airtonix: my bad, i must have utorrent mixed up with something else. [21:52] jacob_, follow that link i pasted first [21:52] azureus maybe [21:52] arghh2d2, i can think of a few but its been too long since ive used them [21:52] Hello, what is the directory where the default wallpapers are stored in? [21:52] oh perfect [21:52] thanks [21:52] ubuntu sucks [21:52] Melvinov: you can run some windows programs through wine or the commerical cedega/crossover stuff [21:53] owner: dpkg -L usplash shows all locations used by the package [21:53] !op | Melvinov [21:53] Melvinov: Help!

This channel is for support *only* [21:53] jellow trijntje nu1 | xslash is what I'm looking at. [21:53] deserteagle: yes.. but I want to know what ports are open.. listening on incoming traffick.. what ports programs have open? [21:53] support for suckage? [21:53] a misnomer [21:54] JenniferB: netstat -tulpna | grep LISTEN [21:54] jacob_, feel free to ask in here, i run lamp for my own web development reasons [21:54] thank you :) [21:54] or any variation of netstat that you like [21:54] JenniferB, oic, then in that case, netstat -n [21:55] JenniferB, i use this command in a desktop shortcut to do this : xterm -geometry 200x124+30+400 -e watch -d "netstat -ntauple" & [21:55] Airtonix I will thank you. I'm sure you understand the need then to run my own server and not rely on godaddy. [21:55] JenniferB, the relevant part of that is : netstat -ntauple [21:55] jacob_, own servers ftw [21:55] YEEEEES IT WORKS :D [21:56] jacob_, doesn't godaddy provide virtual servers ? [21:56] airtonix, niiice thanks! :D [21:56] jacob_, i think a2hosting provide virtual server where you can have ubuntu server installed on it [21:57] anybody rec a good nzb client on ubuntu? [21:57] i might be extremely slow...but eventually i will get there hehehe [21:57] there is allot of established connection on wierd ports [21:57] am I hacked? [21:58] reboot and run the program again [21:58] JenniferB, which one are you looking at ? netstat or jnettop ? [21:58] if it still has a lot of ports open, you've got spam :P [21:58] netstat -ntauple [21:58] (assuming you've closed all programs that need a connection, except your IRC client) [21:58] JenniferB, look at the program on the far right [21:59] Airtonix yes but why pay some one else. I have the harware and Business acct with my ISP. I want to learn anyways. I think my business would be more efficient running my own host and understanding it plus i can sell the service to my customers and stop losing money referring them elsewhere. [21:59] jacob_, makes sense [21:59] airtonix.. I will post on a pastebin.. but I need to do a reboot to clean out some trials with ssh [22:00] but i will post now.. for fear that the server might not go on ( happend once before) [22:01] jacob_: until you have a security issue, you can still manage servers but outsource the actual maintenance [22:01] s/can/could [22:01] hi all [22:01] airtonix: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m6615a266 [22:01] how can i set the root device from the grub shell?

I made a LiveUSB and then updated packages. I just forwarded when asked a couple of questions - both relating to grub. The 2nd I remember: it asked me something like whether grub should edit sda or sdb. I left both blank. When I then attempted rebooting I got a repeated Fatal message: could not load /lib/modules/2.6.31-17-generic/modules.dep. Help please. [22:17] sfears: its telling me that it isnt installed? === astechgeek is now known as techgeek [22:17] ubuntu_, if you'[re using the chrome PPA it should recognize your flashplayer_plugin automatically [22:17] Should i get Ubuntu Desktop 9.10 or Netbook remix for a laptop [22:17] sorry.. try gdm [22:17] sfears: yeah, i thought it was gnome ;p [22:17] Jp82191, if it's a normal size notebook get the full desktop, if small netbook say 10" get netbookremix [22:17] Jp82191: you could use NBR . you can use regular flavours, theres also moblin/ubuntu remix [22:17] kyle6513: Try PrintScreen+ALT+B [22:17] scott_ino2, what is PPA? i think i am not using that, i got google chrome beta from google site in .deb [22:17] does anyone know of a good keystroke based application launcher? [22:17] Jp82191: use a minimal iso [22:18] Aquaraptor: gnome-do [22:18] cool thanks [22:18] kyle6513: Otherwise hard-reboot (even though thats the worst thing to do) [22:18] !info gnome-do [22:18] gnome-do (source: gnome-do): Quickly perform actions on your desktop.

Aquaraptor - krunner [22:19] Jp82191: what's the CPU, and how much RAM? [22:19] or katapult if it's still supported Aquaraptor [22:19] ubuntu_, I'm running Chromium dailly ppa, not official chrome releases, so depends on what you want. Chromium=community release of chrome [22:19] Darkedge: i can still access panel, but the thingy(for lack of a better word) has locked up, I was going to attempt to switch back to normal desktop mode but, to no avail [22:19] Jp82191: 1gb mem or more you probably want the normal ubuntu [22:19] ram is less than 512mb [22:19] Jp82191: a minimal install with a lightweight window manager [22:19] Jp82191: you want Xubuntu [22:19] kyle6513: Can you ALT+CONTROL+F2? [22:19] you could try "damn small linux".. runs in 512 memory [22:19] sfears: that restarted X, just didnt restart the app in the desktop [22:19] ubuntu_, for chromium ppa see here: https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/ppa [22:19] scott_ino2, is chromium better than chrome? supports extensions? [22:19] whats the program that elts you set W xor X flags on memory segments of an elf binary [22:19] Darkedge: sure can [22:19] *lets [22:20] i thought that's what you were trying to do kyle6513.. what were you trying to do?

[22:20] it is damn small [22:20] sfears: this is ubuntu netbook remix, theres a thing embedded into the desktop that is a substitute for a er, start menu, and it has locked up on me [22:20] what is the difference between xubuntu and ubuntu bcuz on my desktop i have ubuntu [22:20] ubuntu_, yes it supports exensions, and i don't know ive only used chromium, works for me, you'll occasionally get unstable builds (since it's a daily build) [22:20] DSL is also not a very friendly distro for those without some Linux experience. [22:20] but you can simply disable it from upgrading once you get a stable version [22:21] Jp82191: Ubuntu uses GNOME for a desktop environment. Xubuntu uses XFCE. [22:21] Jp82191: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements [22:21] ubuntu_, to use the ppa, see the part about adding this ppa to your system, and click where it says technical details about this ppa [22:21] sfears: but dsl is damn hard to use for newbies :P [22:21] i figured that would have reset it kyle [22:21] Jp82191: if you can use Ubuntu with GNOME you'll be able to use Xubuntu with XFCE. [22:22] Jp82191: there's a learning curve, but it's very, very shallow. [22:22] basically you just copy the deb, and deb-src as separate lines in System/Administration/Synaptic then.. under preferences/repositories/click add [22:22] sfears: nope, guess not, trying a hard reset then [22:22] kyle [22:22] sudo reboot from terminal window [22:22] ok [22:22] im going to go for Xubuntu [22:22] Jp82191: even xubuntu is pretty bloated [22:22] Jp82191: good one [22:22] Hi [22:23] !list [22:23] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic.

[22:23] Jp82191 [22:23] yeah [22:23] I can't increase refresh-rate higher than 50Hz in ubuntu 9.10 [22:23] Jp82191: yup, unless you want the text-mode installer. if so, get the -alternate. [22:23] scott_ino2, where to add this line? ppa:chromium-daily/ppa [22:23] how can I edit my terminal look ( the way the black part looks ) [22:23] blakkheim, nothing wrong with old fashioned WMs [22:24] ok [22:24] <[psyk]> sn[a]ke: easy. right click, properties. lol [22:24] Can someone please help me get Tor running with Firefox in Ubuntu 9.10 64bit? I have followed the instructions from the Ubuntu help site but it does not work [22:24] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Tor?action=show&redirect=TOR [22:24] have had much better luck with the alternate installer assuming ethernet connection mneptok Jp82191 [22:24] Out_Cold: i only use a lightweight wm [22:24] Jp82191: the text-mode installer uses fewer resources. [22:24] ubuntu_, go to System/Administration/Synaptic [22:24] ok [22:24] [psyk], where are you getting properties from? [22:24] Jp82191 http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/9.10/release/ [22:24] but im not using ethernet im using Wireless [22:25] ubuntu_, then Settings/Repositories [22:25] <[psyk]> sn[a]ke: i know there's something in the right click menu, it's been so long since i've used ubuntu or debian... [22:25] <[psyk]> sn[a]ke: slackware all the way. [22:25] Jp82191: you can configure that easily once the system is installed. and then get the updates. [22:25] sn[a]ke, are you talking about gnome-terminal? [22:25] I can't increase refresh-rate higher than 50Hz in ubuntu 9.10 64bit. It can not work with refresh more than 50Hz [22:25] Hey, is there anyone in here that uses the openoffice spreadsheet program? [22:25] right click on my terminal nothing named properties or even close to meaning properties [22:25] so which should i get then the alternate or the desktop one? [22:25] yes Kieran0413 [22:25] why do you ask nightsjammies [22:26] ubuntu_, then click other software tab, then click add, Keep in mind they are two separate apt lines on the website so you'll need to do this twice [22:26] sn[a]ke, profiles -> profile preferences [22:26] do you have an ehternet or wifi Jp82191 [22:26] Jp82191: up to you. what's your preference, a grpahical installer or a text-mode installer? [22:26] <[psyk]> sn[a]ke: right click in the title bar, I know there's someplace that you can edit terminal settings for a user... [22:26] or just get the deb, main if you don't care about the src [22:26] Because I can't get any help over at the openoffice channel. [22:26] Sfears: im using wifi [22:26] use desktop [22:26] ok [22:26] And I can't figure out how to do something. [22:26] downloading now [22:26] ubuntu_, then hit close and "Reload" then search for chromium in synaptic (make sure it's the browser and not something else) [22:26] jP82191: live could be good to see how/if itll go.... [22:26] ask away nightsjammies [22:27] hello, on hardy is it possible to log in to the wireless network(which requires password and which is saved by netowrk manager applet) without entering any passowrd to unlock the keyring? [22:27] i think so MrKeuner.. just cancel when it prompts for the keyring [22:27] hi all can anyone help me to reinstall Postgresql [22:28] sfears, there is already a keyring on it, can I still do that? [22:28] miihackwii: apt-get remove --purge postgresql && apt-get install postgresql [22:28] I've got a spreadsheet with about 15 columns, and in one of the fields, the text extends beyond the border. If I try and hit 'enter' it won't drop down to the next line. [22:28] sfears, at least for once, I have to reboot a laptop and expect it to reconnect [22:28] scott_ino2, i added only one line ppa:chromium-daily/ppa and it worked [22:28] Does that make sense? [22:28] MrKeuner: set the keyring password to nothing, just leave it blank [22:28] one way to find out MrKeuner [22:28] valley, ah would that work [22:28] MrKeuner: if when is starts you make sure to check avaliable to all users you shouldn't get that warning or box when you start up [22:28] So then when I Page Preview my sheet, part of the text is cut off. [22:28] thankyou i will give it a go [22:28] thats how i had my wireless set up [22:29] ubuntu_, like i said, this is a DAILY build, so be careful, you can turn off getting daily updates through where you added the lines, just turn it off if you dont' want a new version everyday [22:29] Oh, and I can't get anything on my wireless, either. [22:29] Not sure why. [22:29] nightsjammies: there is no next line in a spreadsheet.. you need to adjust the column sizes [22:29] scott_ino2, how to turn off? by removing ticks from those lines? [22:29] checkboxes yes [22:30] hmm, I'll try that then. [22:30] nightsjammies: right-click the cell, and choose format cell [22:30] or nightsjammies [22:30] OKay [22:30] you can use the data entry field above the spreadsheet itself [22:30] nightsjammies: tab "numbers" choose "text" for category [22:30] you can use the data entry field above the spreadsheet itself nightsjammies [22:30] how do I overclock a pentium 3? [22:30] nightsjammies: then to tab alignment and choose "wrap text" [22:31] Okay. [22:31] Oh, I know that. [22:31] Ah, that's what I was missing. [22:31] Hello fellow ubuntu geeks! [22:31] Shiawuon, Hi there [22:31] Sweet, thanks much oCean :) [22:32] fuzzykittens: ask in ##hardware ? [22:32] Howdy Kieran [22:32] I have a bloody 5oomhz [22:32] oh [22:32] Now, I just realized that my computer says that my wireless is Disabled. [22:32] okay === MaT-dg1 is now known as MaT-dg [22:32] nightsjammies: no problem [22:32] I'm having a problem booting UNR (or even XP) from a USB. The Live USB works fine on another computer but on this one, the screen goes to black, waiting for something to happen. Help. [22:32] fuzzykittens: i believe overclocking requires some soldering [22:33] basilisk: have you used safe graphics mode? [22:33] sfears: what is that? [22:33] Which IRC client do you use? [22:33] sfears: a small amount of software overclocking can be done [22:33] fuzzykittens, you'll probably be better served trying to optimize the software you're running, use lighter weight apps/desktop environment, etc [22:33] My window manager gets messed up sometimes, when I connect the laptop to an external monitor. The icon and color theme are affected. Is there a quick fix for this? [22:33] Does it even sound familiar? [22:33] basilisk: in the boot menu.. there should be some fkeys options.. f4 and select safe graphics mode [22:34] Kieran0413: server, no gui, that's not the problem [22:34] sfears: for ubuntu or from BIOS? [22:34] sounds like a bad cable dragon? [22:34] for ubuntu basilisk [22:34] fuzzykittens, ahh, ok. [22:34] dragon, external monitor is connected when you boot the laptop up ? [22:34] it used to be a 2ghz server and it's f...really annoying to have to go back to 500 mhz [22:34] scott_ino2, how to start chromium? i do not see any application icon [22:34] how to burn an iso on ubuntu? [22:34] when it comes up as "try ubuntu without making changes" hit f4 & choose safe graphics [22:34] sfears: nothing shows up after BIOS is done. no grub, no texts, nada [22:34] airtonix: this problem never happens in that case. [22:34] Jp82191, right click the ISO and select burn to disc [22:34] peace [22:35] ubuntu_, if you installed via synaptic it would have added an icon [22:35] I am trying to use : http://apt.alturl.com/ [22:35] what distribution do I have ? (Ubunutu 9.10 desktop) [22:35] I am trying to download kernel-devel package [22:35] how can I check if I have this package installed already btw ? [22:35] ty airtonix [22:35] scott_ino2, i installed chromium game :( [22:35] JenniferB: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:35] airtonix: It only happens when I dock this running laptop. [22:35] ubuntu_, did you make sure you installed chromium-browser and not chromium [22:35] yeahhhh [22:35] dragon, thats because xorg only sniffs nessecary info at boot time. [22:35] jpds: k3b for gui.. i suggest learning the dd command [22:35] airtonix: It usually works perfectly. [22:35] thank you people [22:35] dragon, except when you hotdock it [22:35] sfears: another weirdness factor is that an authentic XP CD will boot, an XP copy will not, and a checksum'd Ubuntu CD will not boot either. [22:36] airtonix: hotdock works well 95% of the time. [22:36] basilisk, have you tried burning it on different brand media? [22:36] my understanding is that sometimes a program crashes when I hotdock the laptop. [22:36] Okay, so how do I enable my wireless now? [22:36] basilisk: perhaps you do need to check your boot sequence in the bios or perhaps hit the c key while you boot to enable cdrom/usb boot [22:36] kieran0413: yes, on DVD and CD [22:37] I'm wondering what program is responsible for Appearance (not Window decorations itself). [22:37] <[deXter]> Hi can someone help me fix GRUB please? When I run "find /boot/grub/stage1" it cannot find it. Typing setup (hd0) also gives an error. [22:37] sfears: checked it, allowed to boot and selects correct priority [22:37] is there a way to limit my bandwidth usage [22:37] frederick85, yes [22:37] HOT NEW TORRENT SEARCH SITE http://Torrentpirates.org [22:37] I'd use my old XP SP1 CD to boot and install, but it doesn't recognize SATA HDD [22:37] JenniferB: 9.10 = Karmic Koala, (not mentioned on your url). To check for installed packages do "dpkg -l | grep kernel" [22:38] airtonix: well i'm playing games and my housemate is complaining about not being able to load internet pages how can I resolve it [22:38] ocean_ how can I download this kernel-devel from a windows machine if karmic koala is not listed there [22:38] frederick85, the best way if you have the option on your router would be QoS [22:39] frederick85, online gaming shouldn't interfer with web browsing. usually its the other way round. what online game ? === CodeGoose is now known as goose [22:39] airtonix: well it's wow, i'm connected via a ethernet cable and they were connected via wireless [22:39] JenniferB: see here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile [22:40] frederick85, imo their problem is the wifi and their computer not your game [22:40] frederick85, how much bandwidth does your internet connection have ? [22:40] airtonix: quite low at the moment because it's shaped [22:40] shaped at about 10kb [22:40] ok ill get to installing it in a bit im frickin trying to get some stuff from my other hdd [22:40] frederick85, that is the problem then [22:41] frederick85, 10 kb/sec is pretty much going to affect most things [22:41] hey, i encrypted a lvm partition on my hdd using lukFormat cipher. if i do a simple remove/delete tables (quick format) is the encryption lost? I mean if i create new partition table and partitions there wont be an encryption there.. right? [22:41] airtonix: is there a way i can set my computer to only use a lesser ammount of it [22:41] frederick85, im suprised you are not having latency issues while you are shaped. [22:42] frederick85, wow doesn't even use 4kb/s [22:42] Can anyone help me? I am having trouble changing my bios to boot from USB port [22:42] airtonix: the game doesn't seem to use much bandwidth [22:42] frederick85, i think your housemate(S) are pretty misinformed tbh [22:43] i have a question about traffic shapping from isp's i have access to my isp's router through a serial cable , If i forward all incomming local P2P traffic to a random port outside the router using iptables will my isp be able to do anything? [22:43] oCean: iam trying to install a driver for USB mobile internet device.. and the manual states that I need to have kernel-devel installed.. but can i hurt the system if I do install it + [22:43] = [22:43] ? [22:43] frederick85, they should use something to scrub adverts from webpages they view (like adblockplus and noscript) [22:43] airtonix: well i had a problem with them unplugging my part of the connection and i couldn't get their attention because they are deaf [22:44] jellow, yeah, cut off your service for breaching their terms of service?

I want to get the printer working [23:32] Eraldo: Damn got to go , Most of the proxies you get on google are dead , Try a VPN or keep looking [23:32] Chaz: "sudo apt-get source " [23:32] you can't reuse lexmark carts - that's why I asked - before you use it and can't take it back ;-) [23:32] jellow: okay... thank you! [23:32] Hello guys im running ubuntu 9.10 and when i installed it I chose to encrypt my home directory. However I now wish to disable the encryption. How can I do this? thanks [23:32] datz: remote desktop as far as i can see in ubuntu only works with computers on YOUR NETWORK [23:32] kinja-sheep: What is the point of the "Source Code" check box under Administration>Software Sources? [23:33] Does ubuntu have a standard way of installing printer drivers? [23:33] bastid_raZor: thanks. how do I get the modem to send the username/password? I've already tried both options under Wired (DSL connection 1 & Auto eth0 [23:33] chriswaterguy: do you have the username / password for the dsl connection? [23:33] Eraldo: Sorry could not help , good luck [23:33] datz: no. at a friend's house, they're at work (and I'd be surprised if they new) [23:33] Jp82191: not according to this: http://www.howtoforge.com/configure-remote-access-to-your-ubuntu-desktop [23:33] In my sugar activity journal entries are created with specific metadata. I need my activity to edit the metadata for these journal entries after the datastore object has been destroyed, like after I close my activity and open it again. Is this possible? And if it is possible how can I do it? [23:33] hi everyone [23:33] Chaz: For developers, perhaps? Most users should only need binaries. Source codes are useful if people are configuring to include / exclude certain patches. [23:34] Hello guys im running ubuntu 9.10 and when i installed it I chose to encrypt my home directory. However I now wish to disable the encryption. How can I do this? thanks [23:34] Jp82191: I've opened port 5900 [23:34] forwarded* [23:34] kinja-sheep: I have it checked, I was assuming that the source code would be downloaded to my system as well when I install packages yet I do not see it anywhere. [23:34] ok [23:34] Jp82191: but says only able to connect locally [23:34] Jp82191: let me try to connect with my IP add [23:34] hold on im looking up that webpage now [23:35] !source | Chaz [23:35] 1 Preliminary Note: I have tested this on an Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) desktop. [23:35] Chaz: You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html [23:35] Jp82191: ok, now it lists my IP address [23:35] did you see that datz? [23:35] so it should work (down at the bottom) [23:36] I do not issue any guarantee that this will work for you! [23:36] kinja-sheep: I know I can get it alternative ways, just wasn't sure what that was used for. Thanks anyway. [23:36] Chaz: I have mine toggled off since I have no need for sources. [23:36] kinja-sheep: The point is I have it checked but I don't see the sources anywhere. [23:36] Jp82191: I wouldn't expect you to. I don't know how I would hold you to that anyway. :) [23:36] ok [23:36] Chaz: Gotcha. Now you know. :) [23:36] Jp82191: now I just need to find the remote viewer.. [23:36] Can anyone please help me out? [23:36] Jp82191: do you know where that is? [23:37] go to the synaptics package manager and search for it there [23:37] Jp82191: oops, it's in Applications->Internet [23:37] ok [23:38] Jp82191: I think the setup has a poor interface... [23:38] Hello guys im running ubuntu 9.10 and when i installed it I chose to encrypt my home directory. However I now wish to disable the encryption. How can I do this? thanks [23:38] Jp82191: got it working though, thanks [23:38] bye [23:39] datz: see ya [23:39] sladermen, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory [23:39] sladermen: http://linuxpoison.blogspot.com/2010/01/recursively-encrypt-decrypt-directories.html [23:39] try that or airtonix's link [23:39] hello, anyone knows how to configure a live mail account with evolution? I already receive emails, but I cannot send any. [23:40] sladermen, (i dont have an encrypted home folder ) but i assume : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory#How to Remove an Encrypted Private Directory Setup is what you want [23:40] user123: set your outgoing mail server [23:40] user123: go here [23:40] http://a2b-net.com/software/hmlmeas [23:40] sladermen, pay extreme attention to step one. [23:41] airtonix, but i chose to encrypt my entire home directory with the karmic (9.10) installation cd.. [23:41] user123: go to this link and they have a video or pictured instructions. http://a2b-net.com/software/hmlmeas [23:41] is there a python server? [23:41] sladermen, yes ? === root is now known as Guest54830 [23:42] sladermen, you are confused because it mentions intrepid ibex at the top of the page ? [23:42] airtonix, so I dont know how Im going to unencrypt all of it while im logged in [23:42] !python [23:42] python is a popular Object Oriented scripting language included in Ubuntu. For more on Python please see http://www.python.org [23:42] !python channel [23:42] My computer reboots on Grub Loading stage1, /boot/grub/stage1 doesn't exist! What do I do? [23:42] sn[a]ke: #python [23:42] sn[a]ke: the channel is #python on freenode [23:42] \me is going offline to try something... [23:43] thanks [23:43] sladermen, currently i assume 1) you are logged in already 2) you have access to the files right now (ie you can copy and paste them to somewhere else) [23:44] oi [23:44] I just finished putting togther a new box - however, I left my keyboard, cd drive, linux boot flashdrive at home. I have my intel macbook w/ Mac OS X, a monitor, usb mouse, blank usb flash drive. What's the easiest solution to get ubuntu on my box? Also, does, Ubuntu have kickstart, or was that just a red hat thing? [23:44] Attempting to fix my Grub MBR Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... no ::::::: I checked /boot/grub and indeed stage1 doesn't exist! [23:45] is there a way i can watch .m4v movies on ubuntu [23:45] yup === chriswaterguy_ is now known as chriswaterguy [23:45] install VLC media player [23:46] and it will work [23:46] i did... it doesnt work [23:46] can anyone help me with this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1355610 [23:47] ja660k: did you download and install the video codecs? [23:47] uhhh? [23:47] i dont think so [23:47] i can play other video formats? [23:47] ja660k, check restricted formats on the wiki [23:47] okay [23:47] anyone with an ipod touch/iphone? [23:47] sladermen: i've just been googling around for you and can't come up with anything useful at all - it's a bit shocking how there's no obvious way around this. i think you'll need to backup your data, format the /home partition if it's on its' own, then recreate your home folder / reinstall the OS if it's one partition [23:48] ja660k: should just need to install ubuntu-restricted-extras for m4v [23:48] bastid_raZor & datz: I think the "DSL connection 1" was a false lead. when I click "edit connections" it said that it last connected 5 months ago, so I guess it's old and irrelevant. I deleted it. Auto eth0 still auto-connects, but I can't connect via browser or Skype. [23:48] daftykins, thanks. yeah this really sucks. you'd think there would be a simple "disable home encryption" option somewhere in the system settings if they offer the home encryption in the installation wizard sigh [23:49] how can i do that via cmd? [23:49] sladermen: absolutely [23:49] ja660k: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [23:49] ahh thanks alot [23:49] anyone?

There are native 64bit and it have been in alpha for long time. It worked great for many 64-bit users like myself. [23:59] maybe you will get a better response than what i was prepared to give you
