[00:00] look this http://neztoc.com/promobite/?a=4cdcffcbaa342547544aa9294cab18a1 [00:00] lizardking: You're welcome :) [00:00] ardchoille: what repository is that in? can I add it to the repos? [00:00] can aonyone help me with kubuntu, no one in #kubuntu is there [00:01] lizardking: you can get it from medibuntu if you want but you don't have to worry because you have it now [00:01] !medibuntu | lizardking [00:01] lizardking: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [00:01] how can I change the resolution of the console? [00:01] anyone? [00:02] i cant watch the DVD that i bought on kubuntu 9.10 any ideas? [00:02] emes: Do you want a higher resolution? [00:02] hello I am on the latest ubuntu , I just installed it yesterday, and apparently everytime I open Downloads folder (inside /home) It always makes the mouse cursor busy until I close it [00:02] Jordan_U: yes [00:02] thanks for help all. Merry new year! [00:02] My ubuntu machine freezes completely and the only solution is to reboot. Does this happen to others and is there anything that I can do? [00:02] emes: DO you have an ati or nvidea card? [00:03] coreyB: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs#Installing%20libdvdcss [00:03] thank you rww, happy new year [00:03] Jordan_U: ati [00:03] \aacovers [00:03] nightfrog: not recommended? See this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs#Installing%20libdvdcss [00:04] /aacovers [00:04] emes: You can try enabling kernel mode setting [00:04] I left my machine on all day and when I came back I could move my mouse but could not do anything in firefox that had been left open. [00:04] mediaprodigy, possibly a bad install or bad hardware? [00:05] run memtest86+ for a few hours [00:05] hello does any one know how to disable slash on karmic [00:05] Aquaraptor: it is a clean install and i updated everything... the machine has no extra hardware aside from a wireless usb adapter for accessing teh interwebs [00:06] it still could have bad ram/bridge/proc.. [00:06] mediaprodigy: this usb adapater using ndiswrapper by any chance? [00:06] where are KDE 4.4 RC1? [00:06] funghoul: slash? [00:07] newbie123abc: ppa somewhere? [00:07] acicula: 4.3.85, yet [00:07] acicula: http://news.softpedia.com/news/Available-Now-KDE-Software-Compilation-4-4-RC1-131604.shtml [00:07] acicula: says that that packages out [00:07] the boot splash screen, I like the texted better, I can see if any deamons don't start [00:08] emes: Add "radeon.modeset=1" to the kernel parameters in /etc/default/grub then run "sudo update-grub" and reboot [00:08] newbie123abc: that doesnt mean its available directly in the current stable ubuntu repositories [00:08] acicula: ok, but i'm using a ppa [00:08] Jordan_U: and then what? [00:08] acicula: ppa mentioned [00:09] newbie123abc: then #ubuntu is probably not the best place to ask ;), try kubuntu, or kubuntu-dev? [00:09] is it just me, or does ntfs fragment a lot more under linux than fat32? [00:09] if i have installed something with "sudo make install" how do i uninstall it? [00:09] X-Sleepy-X: sudo apt-get remove [00:10] i want to have a windows compatible partition on my hard drive, would it be preferable to format it to ntfs or fat32? [00:10] funghoul: press escape or tab during boot, one of these should show you the text console, i think adding something along the line of nosplash or commenting it out in grub may also work?(check with google) [00:10] that's not right.. probably sudo make uninstall from the directory the files are in [00:10] meanburrito920_: That simple, thought that only worked with .deb packages... [00:10] funghoul: edit appropriately /etc/default/grub the run update-grub2 [00:10] X-Sleepy-X: apt-get uses .deb packages. it is a package manager. if you just install directly from the .deb, you cant use apt-get to uninstall [00:10] meanburrito920_: what size of the partition are you going to use? [00:10] mediaprodigy: use ntfs, but best to let windows create and format the partitin [00:11] emes: And then you should have full resolution ttys [00:11] acicula that is how i did it in 8.10 and 9.04 but the /boot/grub/menu.list file isn't even there [00:11] acicula: actually it just worked plug and play [00:11] X-Sleepy-X: well, its a 500 GB hdd, and i want to make 20 gigs of it a windows compatible partition [00:11] Jordan_U, what would you set for integrated intel cards? I'd love that on my latitude [00:11] meanburrito920_: but i'm going to install form source... [00:11] funghoul: its been renamed, grub2 probably uses a different naming convention [00:11] Jordan_U: how does it decide the resolution? [00:11] meanburrito920_: I'd go for FAT32 since it's faster on smaller partitions... [00:11] X-Sleepy-X: what/how are you trying to install [00:11] ls [00:12] hi [00:12] make and then sudo make install [00:12] meanburrito920_: despotify [00:12] oooh i answered the wrong question [00:12] hi jasonmchristos [00:12] acicula: actually i installed windows first and ubuntu on the second partitiion [00:12] is it possible to rout the mic input and a playing rhythmbox song through jackd? [00:13] meanburrito920_: http://despotify.se/source-code/ [00:13] hi mka2 [00:13] X-Sleepy-X: oops, i told you wrong. you have two options- 1. do it by hand, 2. the Makefile may have a uninstall option. [00:13] meanburrito920_: Oh, I will look at it now [00:13] X-Sleepy-X: but if you did sudo make install, it generally installs to /usr/local/bin [00:13] meanburrito920_: before i install that is [00:14] meanburrito920_: Ok [00:14] meanburrito920_: it says INSTALL_PREFIX = /usr [00:15] i installed tor and it starts automatically how do i remove the entry to start it when the system starts, where would this command be located? [00:15] X-Sleepy-X: give it the install prefix ~/bin, and add ~/bin to your $PATH [00:15] it will make it just a local install, but it will be tons more convienient to remove down the line [00:16] meanburrito920_: Thanks! [00:16] meanburrito920_: Nice trick :) [00:16] would it be in the init.d file? [00:17] acicula: actually i installed windows first and ubuntu on the second partitiion [00:17] so uh I installed ubuntu desktop 64 and it didnt ask for root [00:17] what then is root password??? [00:17] mediaprodigy: that shouldnt affect the crashing [00:17] !sudo | gws there isn't a root password [00:17] gws there isn't a root password: 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) [00:17] ok [00:17] gws the root account is locked [00:17] I changed my ip to static with one of the network gui tools and hit apply [00:18] gws keep it that way so u dont get rooted [00:18] i cant ping google, how do I get it to restart the network? [00:18] Aquaraptor: For intel machines ( other than poulsbo chipsets ) it should be the default [00:18] "sudo passwd" works to set a root password though? [00:18] oh - well I wouldn't know cause i have a graphical splash [00:18] ola??? [00:18] ne_tim: that is neither recommended nor supported, please do not recommended that,it's insecure [00:18] gws, make sure you put the dns servers in [00:19] . [00:19] emes: It auto detect just like X [00:19] where is the init.d file located? [00:19] i want to remove a service from starting auto (tor) [00:19] jasonmchristos: /etc/init.d [00:19] thanks [00:19] emes: I'm sure there is a way to manually set a resolution but I don't know how off hand [00:19] Anyone have recommendations for a noob like myself that wants to boot ubuntu in some form off of a flash drive? Like what flash drives are good, which release to use, etc. Also is it only possible for it to be read only? Or can I create and save files as well? [00:20] RubbberDucky: unetbootin [00:20] RubbberDucky: you can create and save [00:20] !persistent | RubbberDucky [00:20] ok im in init.d how do i tell it not to start tor [00:20] hi all! i have trouble making virtualbox recognise my usb device (a blackberry 8100). it works ok under linux but in the virtualbox menu tab "devices" no one appears in usb [00:20] !usb | RubbberDucky [00:20] RubbberDucky: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [00:20] What is the minimum size flash drive you can use for that? [00:20] acicula: can it be the fact that i have a wireless usb adapter WG111 [00:21] Probably 1gb [00:21] mediaprodigy: dunno tbh [00:21] can someone tell me where the samba log is to be found? [00:21] !logs [00:21] Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ - For LoCo channels, http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ [00:21] Alright thanks guys [00:21] !system logs [00:21] Hi all [00:21] mediaprodigy, what is the FCC ID on that dongle? [00:21] !systemlogs [00:21] powertool08: If you're doing the copy-ISO-contents-to-USB route, a little over 700MB for a regular Ubuntu Live CD, and 1GB for Netbook Remix, I think. [00:21] powertool08, probably a 2gb would be least if you want to install many apps and write docs and what not to [00:21] In 9.10 is editing xorg.conf obsolete or something. I'm trying to save my resolution so I can reboot in 1280x1048 instead of 800x600 each session and my xorg.conf is nearly blank. Is there a line I can insert to specify resolution? Nvidia xserver settings can't parse xorg.conf [00:21] powertool08: more if you want a persistant live environment [00:21] how do i stop certain procs from starting with the system? [00:22] jasonmchristos: there should be a file in init.d that mentions tor. grep it [00:22] hi all! i have trouble making virtualbox recognise my usb device (a blackberry 8100). it works ok under linux but in the virtualbox menu tab "devices" no one appears in usb [00:22] rww, powertool08, pendrivelinux is super simple!! check it out. it can even create a 4gb casper-rw image. [00:22] rww: I've got a 4 gb drive, haven't decided if I want it persistent or not. [00:22] jasonmchristos: if not, check to see if tor gets started with login, not system boot [00:22] its here [00:23] grep tor does nothing [00:23] jukebox-zero, to fix nvidia-settings see http://paste.ubuntu.com/353705/ [00:23] meanburrito920_: If i use sudo checkinstall instead of sudo make install will i only create a deb package then or what? [00:23] ardchoille, sorry! fair enough, surely the only advantage with sudo is logs of who calls it (even if its just sudo su -), assuming default openssh server is no root login anyway. Curious as maybe I should stop being lazy and setting a root password/enabling said ssh login.. === baz is now known as baz_ [00:23] !checkinstall | X-Sleepy-X [00:23] X-Sleepy-X: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! [00:24] on the command line: how can I turn this off: "You have new mail in /var/mail/david" I really don't need to be notified. [00:24] I'm trying to watch MLG Orlando, but I can't get the stream to work since I need octoshare, but I can't seem to get octoshare to install. Can anybody help? [00:24] ne_tim: using sudo and keeping the root account locked is much more secure than setting a root password... you can't brute force a locked root account ;) [00:24] Thanks! [00:24] hi guys, i have some quick questions. I've played around with kubuntu on live drive and ready to use it on my main machine, i will however like to keep xp for excel and some dj software. When i got install kubuntu i get 2 options [00:24] so to restart the NIC? [00:24] jasonmchristos: then tor is probably not started with system boot. check to see if it is started with login [00:24] 1 is to overwrite the whole drive (no way!_ [00:24] no its started with system boot [00:24] and the other is manually do the partitions [00:24] acicula: i do not know.. i will have to look at the documentation that came in the box. [00:24] so is privoxy [00:25] can someone walk me through that so i dont destroy something but get two working oses on my machine!! [00:25] i want them both off [00:25] Also, do you guys recommend an 8gb flash drive? Or are there downfalls of a larger drive? I haven't bought one yet. [00:25] i need to install winxp but that will wipeout grub from the mbr. [00:25] acicula: I am new to using ubuntu as a permanent os.. [00:25] RubbberDucky, That will work fine :) [00:25] jasonmchristos: there is also files that deal with starting services at different runlevels. i cant recall where it is though [00:25] Sweet thanks. [00:25] grep tor starts but nothing shows then i ctrl+c to close it [00:26] can anybody help me install Octoshare as a plugin. It is required for me to watch a live stream [00:26] isilion you can reinstall grub google it [00:26] hello [00:26] Ls2: you mean octoshape? [00:26] oh [00:26] yeah [00:26] myb [00:26] can someone tell me where the samba log is to be found? [00:26] isnt there just a config file with everything that starts at boot i can remove it from? [00:27] funghoul, no without the proper lan driver for xp [00:27] *ethernet driver [00:27] Ls2: I wrote https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Octoshape maybe a year ago. I have no idea what has changed since then. It's based on the faq on the octoshape page though (linked at the bottom) [00:27] I have 8.04 LTS here, and two audio devices, For one of the users pulseaudio has the wriong default sink device. I change it with pacmd all right - but after a new logon of that user the sound still goes to the wrong device until I start pacmd again! what should I do? [00:27] #ubuntu.it [00:27] okay..i'll take a look at that [00:27] jasonmchristos: ubuntu has been messing around with how system services start recently, so its not like most distros. they are trying to get rid of init entirely, if i'm not mistaken. im not sure where they moved most of the stuff to atm [00:28] I've been wokring on the install for the past 45 min or so...just can't seem to get it to work properly [00:28] lenswipe, /var/log/samba [00:28] meanburrito920_: maybe upstart? [00:28] isilion you want grub witch just allows you to select what partion to boot from right? [00:28] Ls2: poke me if you get stuck on a specific point [00:28] ZykoticK9: Thank you, my xorg.conf looks much more like it'll do what I want now [00:28] well i see the names listed in this directory [00:28] Kieran0413, ty [00:28] oaky [00:28] hello? [00:28] what was grep supposed to do? [00:28] could anyone help me iwth pulseaudio? :( [00:29] hello I am on the latest ubuntu , I just installed it yesterday, and apparently everytime I open Downloads folder (inside /home) It always makes the mouse cursor busy until I close it [00:29] grep is a search tool for text files === baz_ is now known as bazbaz [00:29] notk0: how much data do you have in that folder? [00:29] yes funghoul [00:30] ardchoille 255.9 mb [00:30] I installed only yesterday [00:30] but the only way i know to doing that is install xp before ubuntu [00:30] ardchoille: right, but where does upstart store scripts for starting utilities? outside of /etc/init.d [00:30] notk0: That's why, takes a while to process all of that. you may want to clean some of it out [00:30] isilion then it doesn't mater just install xp and then boot from the live cd and it can reinstall just grub [00:30] well its right here is it safe to delete? [00:30] funghoul, but the only way i know to doing that is install xp before ubuntu [00:30] or can i rename it to something that will be ignored? [00:30] ardchoille that only happens in the download folder? [00:30] hmmm funghoul [00:30] meanburrito920_: I haven't begun learnng about upstart yet, it's on my todo list === jukebox-zero is now known as handbanana [00:31] notk0: it will happen on ant folder that has that much data [00:31] s/ant/any/ [00:31] funghoul, are you sure that will work? [00:31] 255 mb is not much data [00:31] mediaprodigy, no its printed on the dongle, like a label, btw I think you meant me :p [00:31] isilion try http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 [00:31] notk0: it is for nautilus apparently [00:31] O,o [00:31] question: is there a way to autostart some app in Ubuntu? Like if I want my media player to start once I log on [00:31] jasonmchristos: ah, found it. /etc/rc0.d - /etc/rc6.d [00:31] has anyone here done much bash scripting? [00:32] notk0: do you have thumbnails on? [00:32] !startup | Ramendik [00:32] Ramendik: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [00:32] Ramendik, yea sure. System-Preferences-startup applications [00:32] meanburrito920_, but its listed right here [00:32] ardchoille if they are by default yes, but I don't have any image file [00:32] r0k3tm3n, i know some [00:32] in there only archives [00:32] some big long config file [00:32] right where? [00:32] notk0: doesn't matter, nautilus still needs to check a lot of things and 255mb is a lot for nautilus to process [00:32] should i delete it or rename it to something that is ignored? [00:32] usser: using Russian UI and can not find it :( perhaps one needs to add a package to see it? [00:32] is there some GUI tool in ubuntu for QoS???? [00:32] /etc/init.d/tor [00:33] there is truly endless comedy when I cant restart my NIC [00:33] Ramendik, no its there by default. [00:33] ardchoille I have about 160 mb in home splitted in 2 tars and it seems ok [00:33] notk0: you might consider burning some of that to a cd or moving it to another folder [00:33] I am going to copy them out of curiosity [00:33] usser: thanks -found [00:33] Ramendik, cool [00:33] jasonmchristos: just change it to non-executable. then you can always change it back if need be [00:33] notk0: This happens on all 11 of my computers too as well as my friend's boxes [00:34] ardchoille I just copied all thoose files to another folder in /home and all is ok [00:34] Hi, I tried to boot into my server, and now when I try to boot it, I get "Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task!" I haven't found any help on google... any ideas? [00:34] gws right click on the gui and click enable networking [00:34] thx - bye! [00:34] usser: i am looking to at a script to mail me when a user logs in, i realize that i have to but it in the .bashrc file, but i cant get the mail idea to work. i have tried 'sendmail' and 'mutt' but neither provide total automation, the former requires the user to be a sudo'er to run, any ideas? [00:34] ardchoille I assume it has something to do with Downloads is it "special" in any way? [00:35] notk0: could be because Downloads is listed in ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs [00:35] r0k3tm3n, install mailutils, ubuntu's default mail daemon is postfix [00:35] ardchoille and what does that do? [00:35] chmod ... what? [00:35] notk0: Read the comment at the top of that file [00:35] jrib: THANK YOU. I got it [00:35] r0k3tm3n, you can configure it to act as a forwarder for one your real mail accounts say gmail [00:36] notk0: I don't quite understand it either [00:36] -x to turn on but how do i turn exe off with chmod [00:36] ardchoille were actually is this file? no /config ? [00:36] jasonchristos chmod 644 [00:36] jasman: +x to turn on, -x to turnoff [00:37] nvm [00:37] notk0: it's a dot file ~/.config [00:37] ohh ok [00:37] hello everyone! imhaving some trouble with dual monitors [00:37] xdg-user-dirs-update [00:37] I assume it updates too much thoose folders [00:37] usser could u rephrase that, i dont quite understand (your first reply) [00:37] r0k3tm3n, then you can just use mail command to send out emails [00:37] it identifyes the monitor on the left, the one on the right is blank [00:38] achieved to clone them, but to set a big screen its a no go [00:38] r0k3tm3n, to be able to mail stuff at all your mail daemon must be configured, you have two options either setup a mail server on your machine which is complicated or use someone else's mail server like goog [00:38] le [00:39] thanks [00:40] Do y'al know if you can install Ubuntu Software center on Kubuntu? === handbanana is now known as jukebox-zero [00:41] Zhenya: You can [00:41] psycho_oreos: FCC ID: PY306300056 [00:41] Jordan_U: do you know if installing kubuntu is better for a n00b like me than regular ubuntu? [00:41] guys how do i get captions working for DVDs? [00:42] Zhenya: I would say that plain Ubuntu is probably better for a new user but it's subjective [00:42] hi everyone [00:42] is there a ftp program that I can just drop files onto? like an icon I can put on my desktop [00:43] The kde flavor looks and feels far better but this is better supported. [00:43] is there anyone here that perhaps would like to help me with a little problem? [00:43] bahamat use the connect to server in the places menu [00:43] Zhenya: I will however say that I think that the claims that KDE is easier because it's "closer to how windows works" are kind of absurd. [00:43] or give me some directions [00:43] So... I'd like to not edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg directly... but on boot I keep getting an error: no such device: [UUID of my HD] I have UUID disable via etc/default/grub so there's a line in my grub.cfg causing the error. Namely 'search blah blah -floppy if 1 *** UUID" Is there a way to remove this line without editing grub.cfg directly? [00:43] Hello there, a question regarding Ubuntu Software Center. After latest update, software center goes to load, then closes when icons start to populate the window. Any ideas? [00:44] jukebox-zero: That bug has been fixed in upstream grub [00:44] funghoul: can I make a link on my desktop to that? [00:44] !qos [00:45] jukebox-zero: If you install grub-pc and grub-common from debian unstable ( and probably from the lucid repos as well ) it has the fix [00:45] Jordan_U: HAHa i just want the prettiest slickest looking thing for a n00b, [00:45] bahamat: "Connect To Server" --> Fill out settings and make a bookmark. It'll be under "Places" [00:45] bahamat i think you can make a bookmark out of it and then drag it to the desktop [00:45] jukebox-zero: no use editing grub.cfg because it will be rewritten by the /etc/default/grub settings [00:45] hi everyone, my computer is **extremely slow** and i think it is something to do with my hard drive as my HD light is on steady... any ideas how i can trouble shoot this? [00:45] funghoul: thanks [00:46] Jordan_u cool cool. I hope that works, I just updated grub from the karmic repo and it's got the same error. Hope lucid's is better. Can i get that repo from the sources dialog or will I have to add it manually? [00:46] Zhenya: Well KUbuntu is much "slicker" than GNOME Ubuntu, at least by default. [00:46] Trying to install W7 over its Beta install on this dual boot ubuntyu/win box - how can I tell which partition W7 is on so I don't overwrite? [00:47] hi Akusuru1 [00:47] bahamat, tried nautilus? [00:47] Jordan_U: sounds like i'm on the right path then :D [00:47] !ask | Akusuru1 [00:47] Akusuru1: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [00:47] jukebox-zero: You shouldn't add the repo or other packages will aslso be automatically upgraded [00:47] mxktmdude, "top" [00:47] !ask | Akusuru1 [00:47] !ask [00:47] what happened to !ask ? [00:47] mkanyician: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:47] imc_ :it'd to be NTFS. in either case windows *will* overwrite your grub, so you'd need to reinstall that bit anyway [00:47] jukebox-zero: Just grab grub-common and grub-pc from packages.ubuntu.com [00:47] mkanyician: I haven't been able to try it yet, but I need to set up something for someone who's incredibly dense [00:48] jordan_u good point, didn't think about that. [00:48] ask [00:48] whaa [00:49] i have facebook currently continuously spiking to 100% cpu and all I am doing is going through my friends list and chatting on facebook, I just can't understand why it would consume so much, anyone care to help? [00:49] is there anything i should know about this chat channel before i start spamming questions ? [00:49] jukebox-zero: I don't think that lucid has the fix, at least it doesn't seem to be the case from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/403408 [00:49] half my kingdome for soemonw to say howtoget my bloody nic going i enter the manual crap and it says connection espatbllished but no ping google [00:49] grrarr [00:50] Pirate_Hunter did you try looking at top while this goes down? [00:50] I just bought a new laptop hdd. I can use dd to copy my current drive (which has windows and another distro on it) to a file on an external right? [00:50] thanks guys it worked [00:50] jukebox-zero: Grub from debian unstable will work find in Ubuntu though [00:50] fumbles, sure [00:50] gws, it sounds like you haven't set your dns settings [00:50] i told gws to do that 10 minutes ago [00:50] When executing "ssh ip sudo commands", I get this error: sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified. on one of the servers here.. How can I disable this error? I know its some config somewhere but which one? [00:50] jukebox-zero: So in that case, packages.debian.org [00:50] usser: I've heard from some friends that it doesn't work as well copying the whole drive to a file [00:51] gws, can you ping 209.85.229.147 ? [00:51] phoenixz: You can't send a password to sudo or su via anything but a real keyboard [00:51] phoenixz: For security reasons [00:51] jordan_u Cool beans, is there a lot of difference in how the two are set up, because I've got some other customization done on my grub. If they're similar should be fine. [00:51] fumbles, hm, dont know why they would say that, i've done a million times. make sure to boot from livecd, you cant dd a running OS [00:51] i cant ping crap [00:51] Jordan_U: well, but in this case, no password is required (the command can be executed without sudo password.) [00:52] gws: Ive never pinged my crap before [00:52] Which is the easiest way to dualboot windows 7 and ubuntu? [00:52] cant ping www.google.com [00:52] is there any flawless guide out there? [00:52] gws, did you try that? [00:52] gws, "ping 209.85.229.147" [00:52] hmm === satpam_zz is now known as satpam_brenang [00:52] mkanyician, results of "top" http://pastebin.ca/1743499 [00:52] funghoul, I have well htop and the problem lies with FF except what exactly is wrong with it is what I dont know it seem it spikes the most when moving from chat box to the actual facebook page [00:52] phoenixz: You set it up in /etc/sudoers? [00:53] Does anyone know how to properly divide up the harddrive using the installer to have a dualboot machine with only 1 harddrive? [00:53] Jordan_U: yes, that pas has (correctly) been setup in sudoers [00:53] Akusuru1: install windows, then linux ;) [00:53] Pirate_Hunter FF is the name of the process? [00:53] Kieran0413: yep no go [00:53] 40 minutes since i booted up and hard drive light is still going like crazy :/ [00:53] :( [00:53] usser: gotcha awesome. I assume I can just use an ubuntu live usb to fix any possible grub issues on the new drive [00:53] grarr!! [00:54] !tc [00:54] gws, it's not dns then, I assume everything works when you get the ip via dhcp/automatically? [00:54] hey [00:54] fumbles, I dont know if you've been helped with your question but I wouldn't advise you to do that, especially if the hardware of your new lappy differs from your old there are safer ways to do it [00:54] phoenixz: If you login as that user and try to run sudo command does it run without asking for a password? [00:54] !nat [00:54] I wanted to verify if there are any issues with the kernel 2.6.31-17? [00:54] !omg [00:54] Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. [00:54] fumbles, yea sure liveusb will work for that [00:54] Pirate_Hunter: oh now it's a hdd upgrade [00:54] Jordan_U: yeap.. anyway, google finally gave me a result, I gottit now. thanks anyway! [00:54] same laptop [00:54] Jordan_U ehat type of command? [00:54] I dont think there is DHCP on this network [00:54] leme try [00:54] could it be that gnome terminal never passes ^S or ^Q, even when flow control is switched off? [00:54] anyway, Akusuru1 , what was the question you wanted to ask? [00:54] Pirate_Hunter, firefox or facebook? [00:55] damn low level details I am a philosopher not a miner [00:55] Hello there, a question regarding Ubuntu Software Center. After latest update, software center goes to load, then closes when icons start to populate the window. Any ideas? [00:55] funghoul: I was helping phoenixz ( so it's not my setup and I don't know the command ) but it seems he has figured it out [00:55] teachprint: run it from terminal and see if it complains about something easily fixable [00:56] Jordan_U: thanks anyway so far, it was a Defaults option [00:56] Akusuru1, ask your question straightforward in english and strong language is NOT allowed, be respectful and considerate and patient etc etc etc [00:57] mxktmdude, Im having a horrible network right now, so I can view your pastebin [00:57] Would my wireless adapter WG111 : FCC ID: PY306300056 or the fact that i installed sshserver be the reason for my setup to crash every now and then.. I realize that the second does not seem likely but this is a new install on a dell optiplex mobile machine [00:58] fumbles, Firefox and the hdd upgrade was based on your question with dd and mkanyician firefox spikes when moving from the chat box on facebook to actually surfing the page(s), see I could blame facebook, it could either be firefox which is what I suspect or poor coding of facebook === mediaprodigy is now known as Shadowfury2 [00:58] Akusuru1, please do not PM me without asking first, if you ask questions HERE in public you might get better help since many people can see your question === Shadowfury2 is now known as mediaprodigy [00:58] I'm new at this, to load program, I should just type it's name?, cause I get command not found. [00:59] mkanyician: also in addition to Pirate_Hunter's comment your cpu could be the problem too [00:59] i simply just want to dualboot windows 7 and ubuntu [00:59] teachprint, the program name is 'software-center' [00:59] Akusuru1: dude it's easy [00:59] teachprint: enter "software-center", use 'tab' to autocomplete [00:59] install windows 7, load a live cd/liveusb of ubuntu and run grub-install [00:59] or whatever the wiki says for grub2 [00:59] Pirate_Hunter, but this channel does not offer facebook support [01:00] i might just look up the wiki for grub [01:00] thanks [01:00] fumbles, in what way would the cpu be a problem I doubt it is overheating I aint doing any heavy tasks on the pc and if I was I wouldn't do it on this pc [01:00] does any one know why empathy doesn't accept irc commands, I use to use pidgeon in 9.04 but the new default is now empathy and I can't seem to register my nick [01:01] Probably because empathy is terrible. [01:01] funghoul, because empathy is not an irc client :) [01:01] fumbles, MY cpu? it's not me who has a firefox/facebook prob [01:01] meh sorry [01:01] funghoul: what commands? [01:01] * isolat3dsh33p agrees with Kieran0413 [01:01] it seems to be doing irc right now? [01:01] any commands [01:01] mkanyician, i aint asking for fb orientated help what I need is to identify the spikes which are happening on ff and why is that as this isn't the first time as it happens on other pages as well [01:01] empathy IS an irc client, but implements its semantics badly [01:01] funghoul: /msg NickServ register blah blah blah [01:01] Pirate_Hunter: if your cpu is sucky then you will have issues, as well as you should try using another browser === como is now known as Guest64073 [01:02] (if it wasn't, why it would accept to connect to an irc server, thus becoming a "client"?) [01:02] yes I found the facts page join doesn't even work [01:02] Hello everyone [01:02] It gives me a "GStreamer-WARNING" ** : adding type .......could not load classifier cascade [01:02] Pirate_Hunter: try google chrome maybe-if that works better than the issue could be firefox [01:03] fumbles, yeah will try experimenting with chrome and see if that might help [01:04] Pirate_Hunter: it could be flash/shockwave related.... [01:04] Pirate_Hunter have you restarted fire fox in a while? [01:04] ho guys, i am having issues playing DVDs, can you help [01:05] how can i get the "md5" program? [01:05] it doesn't exist when i type it in the console... [01:05] ryanCH, you already have it, it's called "md5sum" [01:05] fumbles, still I shouldnt have to, j4ke I aint running any flash/shockwave just editing friends list and chatting and funghoul no I havent and I can't in the middle of something right now still I shouldnt have to do all this things just to keep the browser bellow 100% cpu [01:05] Kieran0413, how do i get captions working on DVDs [01:06] Kieran0413, but i want to generate hashes based upon a string entered at the console [01:06] Pirate_Hunter have you ran the update manager lately like since you opened fire fox? [01:06] do you think the easiest way to dualboot windows 7 and ubuntu ist to first install windows 7 on a fresh drive and then install ubuntu? [01:07] Akusuru1: yes [01:07] Akusuru ussually [01:07] ryanakca, "echo "text string" | md5sum" should do it [01:07] teachprint: I'm googling it; seems a bug; do you have frei0-plugins? removing it was a solution for some guy at ubuntu-forums (test with "apt-get policy frei0-plugins" [01:08] xover, I'm sorry I'm not too sure [01:08] funghoul, yes I have but not today [01:08] Kieran0413, cool, how does that work? [01:08] Pirate_Hunter i had a problem like yours that was fixed by restarting firefox [01:09] Pirate_Hunter, ok, i now i understand [01:09] hi Guest64073 [01:09] hello world [01:09] xover, what issues [01:09] ryanCH, md5sum [01:09] mkanyician: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:09] xover, what are captions? [01:09] Akusuru1, yep [01:09] mkanyician, basically captions are not working, only full subtitles in this DVD [01:10] ryanCH, just pipes the string to md5sum since md5sum doesn't have a switch (afaik) to read from stdin [01:10] Terminal gives me "Invalid operation policy" [01:10] funghoul, the problem is not restarting firefox it is the random spikes that happen on certain sites or when using ff for long periods I would like to identify why it happens than maybe I can do something about it [01:10] teachprint: sorry, apt-cache policy [01:10] mkanyician, any ideas how I can go about identifying the problem? [01:11] I'm stuck with an ATI X300 which does not work properly in Ubuntu. Is it possible to blacklist ATI (or nuke?) to stop Ubuntu giving me endless crap about my rubbish graphics card? [01:11] xover, nope [01:11] does ubuntu have a simple program like windows task manager to see what is running, memory usage etc? [01:12] kippers, yes it has one [01:12] kippers, system, administration, system monitor (assuming Ubuntu 9.10 with gnome) [01:12] Hi all, I'm trying to get a fresh 9.10 install working on a desktop. The system hangs immediately after I enter my user/pass; unresponsive mouse, kbd, no ctrl-alt-bksp, etc. Hard reset is only option. Rebooted and at text console did apt-get upgrade, but no change. I installed sshd and sshed in from another machine to watch the logs, but once I entered user/pass on problem machine, ssh session became unresponsive too. MB: Abit [01:12] Only hint so far, from syslog: Jan 8 19:47:42 oobi kernel: [ 6056.621179] [drm:radeon_cp_idle] *ERROR* radeon_cp_idle called without lock held, held -2147483648 owner d81926c0 d8192a20 [01:12] Any ideas? [01:12] kippers: gnome-system-monitor or in terminal top or htop [01:12] kippers, yes it has top or htop as well as system monitor [01:12] Returned a slew of entries then at the end it says "pinned packages" [01:12] ryanCH: Be carefull though, echo adds a newline after whatever you have it print, so "echo foo | md5sum" will not be the same as "printf foo | md5sum" [01:13] aeny, there is no ctrl+alt+backspace for logout, there is another combination if frequently forget [01:13] so printf is safer? [01:13] aeny, I not if [01:14] I can not for the life of me find any way to get my sound card working. I tried Alsa. I have an ASUS G51VX-RX05 gaming series laptop, P7350 C2C processor, and a realtek sound chip set. I've set all the volumes to 100% in alsamixer (I don't know how to access the pcm mixer) and alsamixer says my processor is my sound card. If anybody would like to help me debug this I would be more than grateful. === latkah is now known as gravis [01:14] is there a command in terminal i can use to put the system in standby mode? [01:14] Jordan_U, thanks for pointing that out, I completely forgot about that. [01:14] mkanyician: still, kbd is totally unresponsive, e.g. caps lock doesn't respond, etc. [01:14] ryanCH, Sorry for the misinformation [01:14] ryanCH: It's not that one is safer, just be sure that you use one or the other consistantly ( and add / remove a newline before using another program to check the md5 ) [01:15] aeny, was just responding on the basic stuff i know, im a n00b [01:15] thanks [01:15] :) [01:15] mkanyician: gotcha, :) [01:15] I got error messages when I try to enable wired connection. Something like Hidden Passwords active... [01:16] mkanyician, captions are the foreign subtitles in a movie [01:16] Kieran0413: np, and you didn't give any misinfomation, I just pointed out a problem that might arise. [01:16] anyone have a working wireless connection using a compaq presario v2000? [01:16] Is it possible? and is there any known issues with installing whole hard drive encryption with truecrypt on ubuntu 9.10 64 bit LVM2 ext4 partition? [01:16] sasi: are you enabling it through ifconfig eth<#> up? [01:17] neconide, No idea :( [01:17] Jordan_U: ryanCH: Kieran0413: ...or use echo -n to remove the newline... [01:17] sasi: how are you enabling your wired connection [01:17] neconide, Click on auto eth0 [01:17] teachprint: I'm not going to mess around with a hit and miss policy; it seems some gstreamer app disagrees with software center; try removing those plugins or gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg (solution found here: http://newyork.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8452865) [01:18] Code_Bleu: better asked in truecrypt support channels? [01:18] sasi: open console and type ifconfig eth0 up, tell me what happens [01:18] teachprint: but those on your own risk; but if other apps get removed with those you'll be asked first [01:19] neconide, The system with error was karmic. Now I'm running Jaunty :( [01:19] holla if you're in ottawa CA [01:20] sasi, well if you're not running the operating system that was giving you issues, 1) why are you asking about it here, and not on the forums & 2) what kind of help are you expecting> [01:20] kippers: You might find #ubuntu-ca interesting :) [01:20] thanks [01:21] neconide, Can you point to me a suitable trouble shooting Website? [01:21] Jordan_U, ryanCH "echo -n" can be used to suppress "\n" making it roughly the same as printf [01:21] aeny, hehehe [01:21] Vcoolio: Thanks for the help, I'll do what you suggest.... [01:21] sasi, faq.ubuntu.com/troubleshooting [01:21] My machine is a server for the family calendar on home network. It works only when I am logged in. I want it to work when on and booted. But I can't find out how to make the wireless connection at boot. [01:21] !troubleshooting > sasi [01:21] i want to start Firefox on to a seperate X screen, with no desktop environment and no window manager [01:21] how do I do this? [01:22] iKernel: start a separate Xinstance with firefox [01:22] acicula, yes i know, how? [01:22] neconide, I mean a n/w trouble shooting site ? [01:22] iKernel: dunno, should be easy to find via google [01:22] iKernel: Do you know how to use xinit or Xepher? [01:22] xinit! that's the one [01:23] thanks [01:23] to ubuntu [01:23] i'm new to ubunut [01:23] i just install xubuntu and [01:23] oops sorry for asking twice so soon [01:23] how can i find out the speed of a wireless connection on the livecd? [01:23] so I guess my 1st step is to figure out if this is a kernel issue or a x issue -- any ideas where would be a good place to look? [01:23] shamoun, iwconfig should tell you [01:23] Kieran0413, thanks [01:24] i have problem with playing mp3 file??? [01:24] jji, look at the restricted formats page on the wiki [01:24] help me plss.. [01:24] jji: install ubuntu-restriced-extra [01:24] !restricted | jji [01:24] jji: 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 [01:24] ZykoticK9, still around? [01:25] aeny: You can try the latest upstream kernel from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ [01:25] xover, what about using mplayer (or smplayer) ? [01:25] Kieran0413, what am i looking for in iwconfig. maybe i passed the wrong optioon on. but im looking for what windows would display as 54 mpbs or 130 mbps or something like that [01:26] shamoun, open terminal and run "iwconfig" under "Bit Rate" it'll show the wireless speed [01:26] have anyone tested the newest netbook remix edition of ubuntu? [01:27] Hi. I'm trying to set my gnome-panel to be transparent, but whenever I do, Parts of it still stay opaque rather than transparent... Do I need to reload gnome-panel or something? [01:27] shamoun, iwconfig? [01:27] Kieran0413, well my bitrate shows 0, i need to know what the possible limit is [01:27] for instance im connecting to a wireless n network [01:28] i wanna know whether its actually a 300 mbps connection [01:28] cos all my windows pcs are getting only 130 mbps [01:28] shamoun, are you actually connected via wireless? [01:28] Kieran0413, yep [01:28] it shoes the essid and everything [01:28] just says bitrate=0 [01:28] but i can surf the web and everything [01:29] Jordan U: I'll try it, thanks [01:29] shamoun, I'm not too sure then, try "iwlist bitrate" [01:29] you won't get 300Mbps: 1) its the theoretical maximum 2) there are far too many variables that you need to consider 3) 300Mbps also may require MIMO and at least 2 radio [01:29] * aiwata55 I would like to do the following: [01:29] shamoun, Substitute "" with your interface, ie wlan0, obviously [01:29] I get 135 Mbps with my N. [01:29] i'm also interested in hearing any netbook remix reviews [01:30] shamoun: iwconfig should display the connection speed? [01:30] Kieran0413, it says uknown bit-rate information, current bitrate = 0 [01:30] fwiw, the instructions on creating a bootable USB device on Mac are pretty good [01:30] thanks to whomever wrote them [01:30] shamoun, odd. [01:30] compare the copy source and the copy destination, if there are files/directories in the destination which are not included in the source, keep the files/directiories, and overwrite the rest. is there such command? === Royall_ is now known as Royall [01:30] Kieran0413, indeed [01:30] well thanks for the help anyway === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [01:32] Only blank parts of my gnome-panel are staying transparent when I use that option. Same with the background--- The background only occupies parts of the panel that aren't being used. === r40 is now known as twinsen [01:34] Akusuru1: i use the NBR [01:35] * Pelo reports for duty [01:35] For example.... The weather thing in the panel doesn't turn transparent.... ideas? [01:36] Joeseph, not all the pannel applets can handle their own transparant background, you just have to live iwth it [01:36] My ubuntu setup keeps crashing is this normal? it is a clean install with a wireless usb adapter and sshserver installed. [01:36] Joeseph, sometimes it fixes itself when you restart x [01:36] Joeseph: mtry the Dust theme under the system menu / preferences / appearance [01:36] Hello everyone. My wifi0 interface (using madwifi-hal) has disapeared. lspci no longer shows my wireless card. Any ideas? [01:36] mediaprodigy, does it crash during hte install ? [01:36] Jordan_U: installed 2.6.32.3, no dice... [01:36] mediaprodigy: No, that is not normal [01:37] Pelo: I'll give restarting x a shot. [01:37] what is it that determines if a 64bit computer will pull i386 or amd64 packages from a PPA? I've heard that 64bit computers can run in 32bit mode as well. [01:38] i'm so sleepy [01:38] Laibsch, it depends on which os you install, ie if you install ubuntu 64 bit it wil grab 64 bit packages, what can be done isthat you can run a 32 bit os on a 64 bit machine, not quite the same as what you hinted at [01:38] Hello everyone. My wifi0 interface (using madwifi-hal) has disapeared. lspci no longer shows my wireless card. Any ideas? [01:38] It seems to happen when i leave the machine running for a bit. i just come back to the machine and it has frozen.. [01:38] aeny: You could try fglrx if it supports your card, but please also file a bug report against the radeon driver so this bug can hopefull be fixed. [01:39] penos, sleep 28800 [01:39] :) [01:39] Pelo: thank you for the information. How can I check a running system in what mode it's running? [01:39] zer0ne, onboard card or addon ? [01:39] Kieran0413: hehe [01:39] Laibsch, 'uname -a' in the terminal, if it says i386 it's 32bit, if it says x86_64 it's 64bit. [01:39] Laibsch, it'S NOT A MODE , it an os version, check in menu > system> admin > system monitor, first tab [01:39] Laibsch: the packagemanager is looking up with architecture you have then its lookinf if the deb is designed for 32bit or 64bit. this is controlles in debian/control of a specific package [01:39] zer0ne, I don'T allow /msg , talk to me in the channel === pea[craptop] is now known as pea[craptop][sle [01:40] pelo >> onboard === pea[craptop][sle is now known as pea[sleeptop] [01:40] hi [01:40] realityiswhere: thanks [01:40] Pelo: sorry, headless installation ;-) [01:40] zer0ne, might want to check in your bios to make sure it is enabled then [01:40] Laibsch: also 64bit cpu can run 32bit code but if you have a amd64deb the package itself is alays createt on amd64 === DrunkenIrony is now known as Drunken_Irony [01:40] Laibsch, what realityiswhere said then [01:40] my card is AR242. It just disapeared. I acicula [01:41] r u still there [01:41] Laibsch: there is no amd64 package which is created with 32bit but there are amd64 packages which are using pre-compiled 32bit code [01:41] i just install the program [01:41] but still don't work [01:41] it say i need decoder [01:41] Is there a global command to stop join messages in xchat? [01:41] !enter | jji [01:41] jji: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [01:42] Bookman, right click on the channel tab, there is an option in ther soemwhere [01:42] Bookman: /ignore * JOINS or JOIN one of them was it also see the help of /ignore [01:42] /ignore #channel QUITS, JOINS [01:42] sorry i'll do that [01:42] jji, what prog did you install ? [01:42] Will the type of box i have make a difference it is a Dell Optiplex SX260.. it's one of those really small boxes that use laptop parts [01:42] jji, acicula might have gone or be in another screen, restate your ? please [01:42] xubuntu-restricted-extras [01:43] Can a wifi card just die? Is it possible to reset the firmware? [01:43] ice not sure I understand how to do that [01:43] Hi, how can I get all (hidden) (sub)directory names in full lengh saved as a file? [01:43] jji, and what prog is asking you for a decoder ? [01:43] zer0ne: of course hardware can die but normally its a driver or user problem [01:43] pingu, ls -a > filename [01:43] Jordan_U: As far as I've read, this is now in "legacy" status, so the fglrx drv doesn't support it... but I will submit a bug report. [01:43] pingu, mind you that will also list all the files [01:44] pingu, you mean all files/directories starting with a full-stop ? [01:44] iceroot, I get unknow arguments [01:44] it say "you ndo not have a decoder installed to handle this file. you might need to install tje neccessary plug-in " [01:44] pingu: find /path/to/directory/ -name '.*' [01:45] jji, what file are yuou trhing to play ? [01:45] Pelo airtonix Yes, and the normal folders, in full lengh (l) [01:45] mp3 [01:45] Bookman: then have a look at the help of ignore [01:45] iceroot, yeah, tried that, could not figure it out. [01:45] Bookman: i am not using xchat and i think my command is running with my client [01:45] pingu, what do you mean by "full length" do you mean the full absolute path from the root directory ? [01:45] pingu: Or rather: find /path/to/directory/ -name '.*' > /path/to/file.txt [01:45] pingu, man ls to know which option you need to list just the folders but the a will get you the hidden ones [01:46] airtonix I mean the whole name up to 64 characters [01:46] pingu, ok is there any reason why you think that it would give anything else ? [01:46] Hi ekiga crashes on hangup [01:46] pingu ls -da > filename [01:46] mp3 file [01:47] Because the Wiki tells to use the letter l for it airtonix [01:47] pingu, because file and directory names are not truncated in linux like they might be in windows [01:47] would you recommend a diferent SIP phone and where can I get a sip account? [01:47] jji, the restricted extras should have takedn care of that , but ust in case, insatll lame [01:48] lame?? I don't know wha that is .. dotday is my first day using ubutu [01:48] w [01:48] pingu, unfortunatly i'm not in linux right now so i can't test out commands for you, but i would try out those suggestions by pelo and Jordan_U [01:48] jji, ok open a terminal, not sure where in xubuntu, check in the menus, then type sudo apt-get install lame [01:48] pingu, i think the find command also deals with looking for folders only. [01:48] anyone here play wow? not private server [01:49] jschall, i used to [01:49] Jordan_U: find /path/to/directory/ -name '.*' > /path/to/file.txt brings "." in the file [01:49] hey guys [01:49] pingu ls -da > filename [01:49] airtonix: have an active account? [01:49] I have a really crazy problem with ssh [01:49] iceroot: How can i reset firmware on a device, any idea? [01:49] mithridates, can to share with the group ? [01:49] jschall, not at the moment, last time i logged in was about 3 weeks ago when they gave me a free week. [01:49] typing is very slowly and it's not because of the server configuration [01:49] Is there a default sound equalizer? [01:49] airtonix: also that's the answer i'm getting everywhere. everyone seems to have quit [01:49] pelo I just did what u told me to do [01:50] jschall, but whats the issue ? [01:50] jji, no try playing that mp3 again [01:50] I just get dots [01:50] airtonix: i want a scroll of resurrection [01:50] jschall, haha ask in ubuntu-offtopic [01:50] zer0ne: depending on the device [01:50] nope it's not working still same [01:50] airtonix: because they'll give me 10 days [01:51] hey pingu , I like your name :D do you watch pingu's series? [01:51] jji, ok old on I'll try to get you other codecs [01:51] Hi [01:51] No, I want the command and go to bed [01:51] zer0ne: have a look at the manual of the device or try google. there is not a solution which is working for all devices [01:51] iceroot: Wifi device :atheros AR@$@ [01:51] i realized too late that the ubuntu install i did was i386 on an athlon64 ... how much diff does it make? [01:51] Or is there any application that allows the manipulation of sound played back through applications? [01:51] thank u [01:51] I just installed Ubuntu [01:51] militant: you can install i386 and amd64 on a an atlhlon64 [01:51] thank u [01:51] ls -la works but -da brings "." [01:51] militant: in principle either is fine [01:51] militant, not much unless you're trying to access >=4gb ram [01:51] Where can I set some keyboard shortcuts for some programs? [01:52] Bookman: Pulseaudio allows you to do that [01:52] For like Firefox, terminal etc [01:52] And I need it all [01:52] Other than just loud/soft [01:52] militant: you only need amd64 if you are using 4gb ram and more [01:52] Jordan_U, pulseaudio? [01:52] ok. just curious. [01:52] militant: no, its logical ;) [01:52] jji, sudo apt-get install mpg123 mpg321 gstreamer0.10* [01:53] militant: 32bit register can just adress 4gb (ram + bus) [01:53] do i have to type * as well [01:53] jji, yes [01:53] hey guys [01:53] hey mithridates [01:53] jji: see if you have "ffmpeg" installed [01:54] jji, just copy paste but yes you need the * [01:54] just wasn't sure if there were cpu instructions or anything that would make a diff. little oddities like adobe's flash plugin working on my laptop but not my desktop (stutter and stuff). [01:54] nejode, to play mp3s ? [01:54] what do you recommend me for the speed of typing in ssh? [01:54] x_link: does system->pref->keyboard shortcuts have what you want? [01:54] I can't find online a way to display my kernel's timer resolution. Does anyone know how to do this? [01:54] militant: flashplugin is 32bit, doesnt matter if you install it on amd64 or i386 [01:54] it just finish install [01:54] it types my words really slowly in the ssh [01:54] ffmpeg is a decoder and lame an encoder [01:54] ubuntu installation stopping at 64% with a in/out error... so far, tried different CD Drive, Different HDD, Different Disc and Disc type (CD/DVD) and still the installation stops... is this a common problem? [01:54] iceroot, that's sorta what i thought. saw some grousing on a board about adobe not doing 64bit releases [01:55] workity work :D [01:55] flash runs much better in firefox without a damn DE/window manager getting in the way [01:55] i have question is this something do with diffrent language [01:55] militant: they have 64bit releases but not in the ubuntu-repos [01:55] iceroot, militant http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/64bit.html native 64bit flash.. [01:55] quietone: Nope [01:55] i don't use ff, chrome here [01:55] militant: there are 64bit releases, but its a bit dodgy still atm [01:55] realityiswhere: thx, i know [01:55] ahh [01:55] Hey [01:55] jji, no it's nothing to do with language, but if you like we have channels in other languages, what is your native language ?

[01:58] acicula, flashplugin 64bit is very good, using it daily. Much faster than 32bit [01:58] jji: sudo "apt-get -f install" [01:58] jji, try that sudo apt-get install command but with each package in turn, sudo apt-get install mpeg123 , then with mpeg321 then with the gstreamer one [01:59] So, I'm trying to compile PHP 5.3.1 on karmic, only I keep getting this error: http://pastebin.ca/1743558 [01:59] Supersaiyan_IV: oh it works great for me too, still takes some effort to get working and is not enabled by default [01:59] Supersaiyan_IV: its still beta afaik though [01:59] after commend i enter " sudo apt-get install mpg123 mpg321 gstreamer0.10*" [01:59] I'm pretty sure curl is installed, and that it's version is 7.19.5 [01:59] acicula, still alpha last time I checked [01:59] jji, try that sudo apt-get install command but with each package in turn, sudo apt-get install mpeg123 , then with mpeg321 then with the gstreamer one [01:59] Supersaiyan_IV: hence, dodgy :) [01:59] buzzomatic, you're missing libcurl [01:59] and after finished install [01:59] jji, if the install did finish, try to play the mp3 file again [01:59] buzzomatic, well, not missing, but not the correct version [02:00] How do I install the correct version? [02:00] acicula, it's because it would be a pain for them if people started asking for official 64bit support [02:00] hence alpha is convenient [02:00] how do you customize the applications menu in xubuntu? [02:00] Supersaiyan_IV: supporting your own product is such a drag amirite [02:00] What if people asked for 128bit support [02:00] hehe === fongoul is now known as megolomaniac [02:01] brianherman_home: 128bit just applies to data the instruction operates on [02:01] brianherman_home, we tell them to come back in 10 years [02:01] acicula, it is, and linux is not a big enough market to devote $$ [02:01] Dose this MB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130228 work with Ubuntu 9.10?

And running curl-config --version tells me that the version is 7.19.5 [02:03] yes [02:04] jji, hmm, ok, I'M having some difficulties here, you say you are running xubuntu ? and I don'T know where stuff is in xubuntu that well [02:04] jji, try this one sudo apt-get install twolame [02:04] I am currently stuck in an older version of Ubuntu (7.10 Gutsy) Is there a way I can upgrade to 9.10 other than going burning an ISO and installing it? In other words can apt-get simply upgrade me? [02:04] jji, right now what I'M doing is trying to get you to install all the packages I can think of that could help play mp3s [02:05] i just installed [02:05] let me try [02:05] nashirak, not from 7.10 it's too old I think , dist-upgrade from that far back won'T work I think [02:05] buzzomatic, I'm not too sure what to tell you then, I'd suggest asking in a php channel. Is there any reason you're installing from source instead of from the repos? [02:05] Does the Ubuntu server edition run with Intel processors? I download the ISO file, and it says amd64. [02:05] pelo [02:05] still not playing [02:05] jji, yes ? [02:06] jji, what is the player you are using ? [02:06] so0ky: there's also a x86 build. its not default tho [02:06] inst dist upgrading incremental? ie you go from 7.04.->7.10->...->9.10?

[02:06] exaile [02:06] confused [02:06] x86 is 32 bit [02:06] i would like 64 [02:06] nashirak: You *can*, but it's probably not worth it ( it will take about 3 times as much bandwidth and 10 times as long at least ) [02:06] jji: hey man why don't you just install packages with synaptic? [02:06] jji use mplayer [02:06] jji, is the file loading in exaile ?

Install Windows first if you haven't already, then the Ubuntu installer will detect it and set up the dual boot. [02:13] nashirak: that is offtopic. However, I suggest the dell refurb site [02:13] buzzomatic, did you try apt-get install libcurl3-openssl-dev ?

[02:19] Pelo: first prompt i selected install on Harddisk [02:19] now waiting for the next part to load [02:19] LordFDisk: well check the hardware compatability list, cant fanthom why that board wouldnt work though [02:19] nasrullah1: in that case, most likely its best that you see if google has a tarball or deb based installer [02:19] faileas: what is weird?

[02:28] Pelo: :D the partitioning is sitting @ 0% hope it speeds uio [02:29] acicula: never OC'd, i ran prime & memtest to test stability at stock before blaming ubuntu or a driver [02:29] Hi there. I am getting the infamous broadcom wireless driver dropping intermittantly thing with my laptop and karmic. I attempted to follow a couple of the ubuntu forum suggestions to fix it and that really messed things up. Does anyone have a sound solution they can guide me to? When I activated via the menu option System/Administration/Hardware Drivers in gnome, there were two drivers listed, a Broadcom STA and a Broadcom 43x. [02:29] I selected the STA one. Thanks for any help :) [02:29] Zhenya, partitioning can take quite a bit of time, be very very patient, it's moviing hyour files aeround to make room [02:29] thasp: well the usual suspect would be the flgrx driver disable that and see if the problem occurs still? [02:29] syslog is a jungle [02:29] \ === Dominoman is now known as Dominian [02:30] i will google how to disable the flgr driver and report back [02:30] thank you sir [02:30] knipknup, yep, both of them are messed up, i just gave up.

I had a solid connection with 8.10, but getting the thing to work was a pain and I was hoping karmic would have a better solution. [02:32] i will try activating them, couldn';t hurt [02:32] there's a 1 second delay between hitting a key in irc and it showing up, maybe this will fix that too [02:32] thasp: means its using the open source driver [02:33] thasp: yeah thats not good [02:36] Pelo: stopped the install before it did anything and realized i want to defrag before i start doing all this! [02:37] Zhenya, oh you hadn'T done htat already, sorry forgot to mention it, been awhile for me, you might also want to backp your most imporant stuff [02:37] just in case [02:37] Pelo: did that :D [02:37] Pelo: most everyhthing is on gmail and my pics are on my external with my mnusic etc [02:37] Zhenya, good man, or women, or other [02:38] Pelo: man :D\ [02:38] Pelo, Women on IRC, wishful thinking?

I can't seem to find a guide to installing a realtime kernel for 9.10 (64 bit). Does anyone know where I can find such a thing? [02:51] jji, audio cd or data cd ? [02:51] both [02:51] has anyone done full disk encryption on ubuntu with lvm and ext4? and can this be done on an existing lvm partition without having to start over? [02:51] Serpher: from what i've read you have to purge bcmwl-kernel-source and reinstall it. [02:51] i don't c icon [02:51] adamonline45_: I believe Ubuntu Studio has a realtime kernel [02:52] DaZ: I'll give this a try [02:52] jji, the data cd should appear on the desktop when you put them in , audio cd should normaly start the audio applicateion automaticaly [02:52] Code_Bleu, that will make it slower , I believe [02:52] adamonline45_: and linux-image-2.6.31-9-rt package might be what you want, no comments on how stable it is however [02:52] i on'y see"home, file system, trash, and floppy disk" [02:53] Serpher: if it doesn't help do dmesg|grep bcm43 and pastebin here [02:53] jji, hmm, look in the menu , launch tunar , check i the menues in that [02:53] I have two .deb packages to install. Each satisfies the dependancies of the other. However, I can do this via Gdebi because it only reads one pakage at a time. How can I do this from the cmd line? [02:53] ziroday: running alpha1? [02:53] er *can't [02:53] jji, you should ask about this in #xubuntu, they are more familiar with that graphical environement then we are here [02:54] thank u [02:54] adamonline45: apt-cache search real time kernel or search in synaptic? [02:54] DaZ: I first need to reinstall 9.10. Will 10.04 have the same problems would you think? [02:54] jukebox-zero: dpkg -i 1.deb 2.deb [02:54] jji, you know how to get there ? /join #xubuntu [02:54] ziroday, Cool, thank you :) [02:55] When I increased my screen resolution, my other monitor went black.

Now let's see if this breaks anything else :) [02:55] anyone of the top of their head knows how to autologin from console on debian i did su -u username -c startx [02:55] or something similar [02:55] jukebox-zero: sudo dpkg -i 1.deb 2.deb should do it. It is considered a bug if two packages depend on each other :-\ [02:55] I tried the xbuntu room and no one is talking [02:55] usser, debian?

[02:56] usser, #debian [02:56] what the command again? [02:56] Serpher: 10.4 will have brand new, totally unexpected problems. [02:56] bazhang, no i need an equivalent for ubuntu, since it doesnt use su [02:56] happy, well it's a grub and then the grub-common so I think in this case it's okay. Gdebi's just trying to look out for me and all... [02:56] usser, there is something vice su for Ubuntu that you can use [02:56] jroc: do you know of a site or something that has more info about doing that? [02:56] hi [02:57] Code_Bleu, about doing what [02:57] jukebox-zero: I believe it is considered a bug for grub-common to depend on grub. Where did you get the packages from? [02:57] just been forever since I've had to install a package I didn't get though apt-get via the command line. [02:57] regularly, but not always, after going into power saving mode, when i try resume my work, the processor goes mad and the screen never returns... [02:58] jukebox-zero, i'm dealing with the same thing here...how do you install a packaged pulled from firefox? (long time fedora user, here) [02:58] I cannot play avi or mp4 files , I have installed ubuntu-restriced package [02:58] jroc: you said that it would make it slower: my question about encrypting an existing lvm2 partion with ext4 lvms [02:58] jroc: try sysv-rc-conf, has to be run with sudo on my machine. [02:58] i try pressing ctrl+alt+F? and i cant even go to a shell [02:58] powertool08, okay I'll try that [02:58] mithridates: use vlc [02:59] happy, well actually, it may not depend... Just that gdbi informs me installing th grub will break my current grub-common, and installing grub-common will break my current grub. got em from packages.debian. trying to circumvent issues I'm having with the 9.10 grub. [02:59] happy: I used vlc,smplayer,totem gstream,totem xine ,... but they didn't work [02:59] robbins61, happy says dpgk -i whatever.deb [02:59] is there a way to make flash player better? [03:00] Code_Bleu, opensuse does that from the install DVD, but I'll see -right now you just need to encrypt the HDD you have [03:00] jukebox-zero: that makes sense :-). [03:00] what is the -i? [03:00] mithridates: what happens when you try to play a video in vlc [03:00] install? [03:00] robbings61 -i means install [03:00] robbins61: yep [03:00] k [03:00] so is -r remove? [03:00] or is it -u? [03:01] robbins61: prob -r, use the man page [03:01] stands to reason... man dpgk to be sure [03:01] k [03:01] happy: " p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; } VLC does not support the audio or video format "XVID". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this" [03:01] you can type man dpgk to see what the flags mean [03:01] iflema, are you using the 'stock' karmic drivers? and if so, STA or 43x? [03:01] happy: it plays the sound and no video [03:01] mithridates: It should play :-\ [03:02] I have no idea [03:02] who knows why ubuntu can't play any video formats? [03:03] mithridates: what format are you trying to play? [03:03] mithridates: you could try installing medibuntu [03:03] im having some issues getting softraid booting to work right, can anyone help? [03:03] jroc: yes im trying to encrypt it without having to wipe everything and start over. [03:03] happy: I have installed mediaubuntu too [03:03] !medibuntu | mithridates [03:03] mithridates: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [03:03] ok [03:03] happy, i downloaded boxee in .deb from boxee's official site.. it's got a number of unmet dependencies...is there a way to make it install and grab the needed dependencies? [03:03] ziroday: mp4 , avi [03:03] mithridates: have you install the codecs for that? [03:03] is there a way to make adobe flash player work better? [03:03] Ratizar: no. [03:03] knipknup: on netbook remix both i think had same result.. dropping out.. not returning.. without major action... however the 4322 is flawless on moblin remix and yeah crap ont NBR [03:04] Ratizar: out of luck. Flash does not like linux [03:04] ziroday: which codecs? I have installed ubuntu restricted , media ubuntu codecs, and what available is in google [03:04] hi there... any one can help me, whit a installation blank of server mail?? [03:04] mithridates: does the video file play on other computers? [03:04] happy, Flash loves linux [03:04] ziroday: yes of course [03:04] im trying to get ubuntu softraid (1) to boot up when degraded, but its dropping me to grub rescue.... anyone have any advice? [03:04] mithridates: w32codecs comes to mind [03:04] happy, yes i know but what is the problem with it anybody knows? [03:04] faileas: I have installed that [03:04] !xen [03:04] XEN is a virtual machine monitor for x86 that supports execution of multiple guest operating systems with unprecedented levels of performance and resource isolation. Information on installing it for Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen [03:05] ive searched everywhere and nowhere even seems to mention what grub rescue is [03:05] happy, sudo apt-get install -f? [03:05] mithridates: and what format is this again? [03:05] Ratizar: I find it has memory leaks [03:05] ziroday: avi and mp4 [03:05] Rabbitbunny: -f for what? [03:05] mithridates: those aren't formats, those are containers. [03:05] ziroday: I know the avi is xvid [03:06] ziroday: yes xvid and .. I donno what in mp4 is [03:06] <_KAMI_> hi [03:06] ziroday: format is a bit generic. [03:06] hi _KAMI_ [03:06] happy: no, xVid is video codec library, the codec then would be MPEG-4 [03:06] robbins61: what do you want the -f for? [03:06] ziroday: how can I find that? [03:07] mithridates: because xvid encodes mpeg-4 videos. [03:07] ziroday: XviD is the codec, mp4 is the containter. I know that. But "format" could mean either [03:07] happy, dependencies that are missing [03:07] happy: see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xvid xvid is the video codec library. [03:07] # [03:07] robbins61: Install teh dependencies first. -f is very good at breaking systems [03:08] ziroday: xvid, mp4 I said that I cannot play any video [03:08] mithridates: right, well I'm honestly not sure what type of video you have got there, as MPEG-4 should run just fine, and you've tried playing this through VLC as well? [03:08] ziroday: I know the difference. I encode video all the time. It is just that "format" is too generic [03:08] anyone know if its possible to boot properly in a degraded softraid1? it keeps going to grub rescue [03:09] how do you fix wlan0, using ndiswrapper xp driver, atheros pci device keeps stopping. only fix i have found so far is modprobe -r | modprobe, very annoying [03:09] ziroday: XviD should run fine. [03:09] ziroday: yes I tried to play by vlc also [03:10] mithridates: right, and you are *certain* this plays on other computers? It sounds like a corrupt video file [03:10] ziroday: no no, I have downloaded different video files [03:10] mithridates: can you upload a small portion of one of those files for us to see [03:10] ziroday: I have checked in an other computer also [03:10] yes sure [03:11] w8 [03:11] limecat: are one of the drives broken? [03:11] how do I whipe all partitions on a disk, and format the entire thing in ext4 with fdisk? [03:11] ziroday: I will come back and say the video link [03:11] mithridates: sure [03:11] Sweet. So if anyone cares, if anyone else comes up asking about a new 9.10 install that fails to boot and prints the output "error: no such device: [UUID of boot drive]" Using the Grub two from the debian unstable repo is the best and easiest fix. [03:13] NotTooSmart: if you are looking for a command line partitioner I would recommend cfdisk === binitamshah is now known as binitamshah|away [03:13] ziroday, i just need to do this one operation ;-D trying to avoid a live-cd boot [03:14] hello, anybody use cccam there? [03:14] NotTooSmart: are you trying to partition the drive you are currently mounted on? [03:14] ziroday, no sir [03:14] NotTooSmart: well if you are in your system why not just use gparted? [03:14] ziroday, its a server install [03:15] NotTooSmart: right, in that case I would use cfdisk [03:15] i dont see it in the repos [03:15] what command can I use to change runlevels of a program [03:15] How do I find out what /dev/ my dvd is on?

[03:53] I get the following error when I try to start a VM: http://zpaste.org/6293 [03:53] Xfact: yep all good bar one thing.... if i plug in headphones to my front panel the line out continues... but maybe im being picky [03:53] Anybody know how I could fix this? [03:53] Brenden: Probably because you are missing the files adduser copies to new home directories [03:53] hellokittens45: did it list a whole bunch of packages? [03:53] ChogyDan: ive even reset gnome and everything [03:54] It becomes really annoying when trying to pipe commands in bash or create boolean expressions [03:54] Brenden: Have you logged in graphically with it yet? [03:54] geirha, how could i make a folder so i can have like /home/brenden/Desktop instead of /home/brenden taking me right to my desktop [03:54] iflema: complicated, that trick you said I didn't understand....('alsamixer press tab twice to select all sliders then move to the right with ya arrow keys and look at em all.... just confirm headphone status') [03:54] There was a terminal command to see the levels a deamon is in.

[03:56] hellokittens45: Hah! well that would explain it, you have broken packages! [03:56] johntramp swap shouldn't be on /dev/sda1 [03:56] Brenden: nautilus has an option to use your homedir as desktop, maybe that is turned on. Alt+F2 -> run 'gconf-editor' -> /apps/nautilus/preferences/desktop_is_homedir [03:56] Xfact: when alsamixer has started.. the first thing you press is the Tab key twice.... this will sow all sliders (input and output) have a look at em all and see if ya can see anything obvious. [03:56] ChogyDan: how do i unbreak them lol? [03:57] johntramp your /etc/fstab might be wrong [03:57] hellokittens45: what about the command I gave you, can you give me the output there? [03:57] ChogyDan: is it via dpkg? [03:57] ChogyDan: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done ubuntu-desktop is already the newest version. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [03:57] geirha, its not checked [03:58] Awesome3000: no, that is right. my swap is sda1 [03:58] hellokittens45: also, the first pastebin, are you sure that is all of it? [03:58] Brenden: Hm. Does you homedir have a Desktop directory? [03:58] johntramp maybe the swap needs to be reset [03:58] hellokittens45: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop^ [03:58] i am running it now fine in kernel 2.6.31-16 [03:59] geirha, no my homedir takes me straight to my desktop [03:59] Xfact: sometimes theres a third category thats not output of capture [03:59] i dont have a /home/brenden/Desktop [03:59] of [03:59] its just /home/brenden [03:59] and then it takes me to my desktop [03:59] Awesome3000: but booting 2.6.31-17 doesnt work [03:59] can someone help me with my vnc connection? [03:59] Xfact: output OR capture [03:59] Xpistos: SURE [04:00] Xpistos: What is the nature of your Ubuntu Emergency? [04:00] ChogyDan: let me get you my last pastebin [04:00] I get the following error when I try to start a VM: http://zpaste.org/6293 [04:00] brianherman_home: I can see my wife's newly install ubuntu, but I can manipulate anything [04:00] I'm running Ubuntu server 9.04 [04:00] johntramp maybe just boot into the old kernal till a new kernal comes out [04:00] yeah, might be easiest [04:00] Brenden: It's probably using your homedir as desktop because it can't find the Desktop dir [04:00] brianherman_home: Unless I make one move disconnect and then reconnect and then I see something [04:00] Xpistos: Are you logged in as root? [04:00] brianherman_home: no [04:01] ChogyDan: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d4bc242af [04:01] brianherman_home: i don't have the root enabled [04:01] is the easiest way to get netflix to work on ubuntu to put windows in a virtual machine? or is there an easier way? [04:01] geirha, should i just make a whole new different account? [04:01] Brenden: Running xdg-user-dirs-update might fix it [04:01] ok [04:01] Xpistos: hmmm try enabling root with this sudo passwd [04:01] iflema: remeber, these are to mute or un mute or rising volume, but as I described my hardware is not detecting 2nd output line....I think the first step to detection and after then this alsmixer has priority on the jacks, my proper question was how to 'activate' the 2nd one.... [04:01] brianherman_home: lets try it [04:01] Xpistos: then relogin to vnc as root [04:01] geirha, it doesnt work [04:02] hey guys, i'm having a bit of trouble here, i'm booted up in a live cd of ubuntu 9.10, checked synaptic, it's got ntfs-3g and ntfsprogs installed but for some reason, it's not seeing my usual XP partition, any ideas? [04:02] Xfact: alsamixer [04:02] should i just make a new account? [04:02] hellokittens45: do the command I gave you before, but make sure to include the ^. It isn't a typo [04:02] Brenden: Do you get an error message? [04:02] no [04:02] i get nothing [04:02] brenden@Neon:~$ xdg-user-dirs-update [04:02] brenden@Neon:~$ xdg-user-dirs-update [04:02] brenden@Neon:~$ [04:02] Brenden: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:02] brianherman_home: Do i need to sudo su first? [04:02] :x [04:02] Brenden: Is there a Desktop dir there now? [04:02] ChogyDan: ok [04:03] geirha, no [04:03] now i have no desktop [04:03] well [04:03] iflema: I've just checked that, but first it showing that i have '6ch'...which is too extra (cause I have 2.1 ch) but still not working... there no option for 2.1 [04:03] no desktop icons but i see icons when i click 'home folder' [04:03] in /home/brenden theres icons that were on my desktop and now theres no icons my desktop [04:03] i make an application using java and i want to make .deb from it , i need help? [04:04] Xpistos: Uh no [04:04] johntramp try sudo mkswap /dev/sda1 then sudo swapon -a [04:04] Xpistos: if you can sudo su then you can just run commands as root [04:04] ChogyDan: I need to reboot brb [04:04] ChogyDan: tyvm for your help [04:04] np [04:05] Brenden: If you have a different language than engligh, it may have created it with a different name. I.e. Desktop in your language. [04:05] geirha, I dont think i have any diff language [04:06] Awesome3000: ok [04:06] is there a terminal command to view your cpu usage?

This is a first for me, I have a couple of boxes in the wild, but they were clean installs, how should I prep./clean my test box before letting it loose? [04:06] mahngiel: top / htop [04:07] johntramp, thanks [04:07] brianherman_home: unfortunately that didn't work eaither [04:07] Brenden: Hm. Not sure what's going on then. Maybe try creating a file on the desktop. Just call it abcd or something, then in a terminal: find -name abcd and see what path it shows [04:07] geirha, once i ran that command since then i cant right click on my desktop or nothing [04:07] its just black [04:07] so should i just make a new useraccount? [04:07] n2diy: Don't prep it. just format/reinstall. [04:08] Brenden: Oh, nautilus must've crashed. killall nautilus should restart it [04:08] n2diy: It's less work than 'cleaning up'. [04:08] geirha, i did that [04:08] and [04:09] nothing happened [04:09] canthus13: Ok, I was hoping there was an easier way, like deleting my user, and adding an new one? And I'd hate to reformat the entire drive, can I just reformat /home? [04:09] n2diy: Why? It really is MUCH easier to pop in a liveCD and tell it to use the entire drive. [04:10] Brenden: Hm. I guess you'll have to try logging out and back in again. [04:10] how to install clamav on ubuntu linux? [04:10] set up grub2 so it can boot the live cd iso file. as a rescue option. :) thats fun also [04:10] adi_: just install teh clamav package.. but you may want tog et teh latestzt from the homepage of clamav [04:10] adi_: Did you check the repositories?

[04:11] Brenden: If you try to recreate the user account, try doing it with the System -> Administration -> Users and Groups [04:11] n2diy: Because you answer a few simple questions when you pop in that CD, and half an hour later you have a new system. [04:11] No work. [04:11] geirha, ok [04:11] ok i will try it, thx for all..

[04:13] jumper, why do you like xbuntu (I'm using it now) [04:14] jroc: runlevels? for the sysv runlevels? 9.10 is moveing to upstart system. the runlevels dont matter much [04:14] n2diy: The only reason to hang onto a system instead of wiping it out is if you had to go through extraordinary trouble to get some critical device (like video) working. [04:14] ChogyDan Interesting site [04:14] geirha, i think im going to try a different distro as it seems ubuntu gives me lots of issues [04:14] it gives you the pwoer to change everything [04:14] Dr_Willis, [04:14] jumper Xubuntu is awesome [04:14] and i love the learning [04:15] okay how do I use "upstart" I'm coming from mostly Fedora [04:15] canthus13: It is also my backup box, so I'm not worried about quirks. And I went to the trouble of creating a /home partition, with the idea tha upgrades would be painless. [04:15] jumper, been using Linux for about three years and I love it === mcasadevall is now known as NCommander [04:16] 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? [04:16] !upstart | jroc [04:16] jroc: 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/ [04:16] ChogyDan: the command installed ubuntu desktop. the problem is that i can only log into gnome in failsafe [04:16] jroc thats cool like i siad im hooked now [04:16] ChogyDan: when i log into gnome it takes my password but goes right back to the login screen [04:17] jumper, Welcome [04:17] ty [04:17] Hm... I have a network cable plugged into my router, and a mythbuntu box that doesn't seem to get a response from dhclient. I plugged the network cable into a different box, works fine. I've tried "sudo ifup" and "sudo ifconfig up", no luck. What else hsould I check? [04:17] hellokittens45: I probably won't be much help, but one thing to try is to create a new user, and try to login with that. That will tell you if it is your configuration or something [04:17] Oh, oddly enough, ths box reports both an eth0 and a pan0, but I only see one network jack. [04:17] Hi all [04:17] hello decomp [04:17] is anyone else having problems connecting to the repo's? [04:17] Xfact: under Sound Preferences on the output tab does selecting headphones not work? [04:18] n2diy: *shrug* Up to you, but if you're selling it to someone, it might be nicer to just give them a clean system, maybe using an OEM install. [04:18] puff: ifup eth0 [04:18] ChogyDan: tried that already, wont let my new user login either unless its failsafe gnome [04:18] Xfact: you will not get both... [04:19] n2diy: I tried ifup. "sudo ifup eth0 => "Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0" [04:19] canthus13: roger that, but I just showed off all the neat stuff the box can do, so I don't want him to start over from scratch. He Is a total linux newb. [04:19] iflema: sorry for late, but nothing spacial there [04:19] i just did a server install. I'm connected via a wired network so i type sudo dhclient eth0, and then try to run sudo apt-get update and cannot connect. I have tryied multiple mirrors. I am able to ping www.google.com succesfully. anyone else having issues? [04:19] puff: what does ifconfig show as your interface? [04:19] or am i missing something? [04:20] iflema: in the 'output tab' connector: analog output is selected...If I ma changing it to 'analog headphones' then sound flow stoping.... [04:20] hellokittens45: well, it might be quickest to just reinstall. Other than that, I don't know how to help, sorry! [04:21] ChogyDan: you did plenty! is the ^ a force command? [04:21] Xfact: now try the other jack [04:21] n2diy: It reports an eth0, lo, and pan0. Then it has a block I've never seen before, [pan0:avahi [04:21] decomp try this it helped me fix network problems https://store.opendns.com/setup/device/ubuntu/ [04:21] hellokittens45: I'm pretty sure it changes apt-get into a tasksel type command [04:21] hellokittens45: Try removing compiz === satpam_brenang is now known as satpam_brb [04:21] pan0 = bluetooth [04:22] avahi = zerocong [04:22] zeroconf - i mean [04:22] why do you stupid gay fux use ubunt? [04:22] puff: hmm, what does ifdown eth0 report? [04:22] ubottu, thanks- I'm coming over from using Fedora, started with Ubuntu 7.04 now I'm back [04:22] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:22] why do you stupid gay fux use ubuntu? [04:22] :p [04:23] Melvinov: stop repeating yourself. while some of us may be gay, i assure you not all are. learn to spell, and we use it because we like it and it works for us. will there be anything else? [04:23] Melvinov: why do you care what we do with our computers? [04:23] ChogyDan: tried to reload as well, twice, wish i were kidding, xfce, lxde, and kde work fine just gnome and KK combination seems to be the problem [04:23] maco: *shrug* just ignore him, its more fun like that ;) [04:23] n2diy: sudo ifdown eth0 => ifdown: interface eth0 not configured. [04:23] n2diy, Great point! [04:23] how do I make my self a member of all the pulse audio groups from the command line?? [04:23] n2diy: Doh, y'know, come ot think of it, I haven't tried rebooting. [04:24] iflema: sorry there only one output 'internal audio Analog Stereo Stereo', as i described with picture in the 'hardware' tab it's only showing 'one output' with all profiles...(http://avinandan.hd1.in/soundprob.html) [04:24] ChogyDan: could be GDM that has the problem not sure, ive researched it but no luck [04:24] puff: no, don't do that! [04:24] puff: that is a win solution, you can restart network services, but I forget the command. [04:24] hellokittens45: did removing compiz help? [04:24] how do I make my self a member of all the pulse audio groups from the command line?? [04:24] ChogyDan: havent tried that [04:25] n2diy: Prolly /etc/init.d/networking restart? [04:25] Xfact: not the hardware tab.. the output tab... [04:25] puff: that looks right. [04:25] puff: or network restart? [04:25] ChogyDan: purging compiz now [04:26] iflema: I know in output tab only one output device is showing and it already selected,.... === sloopy is now known as Guest40990 [04:26] Hi again.

I seem to have lost the ability to right click on the desktop which is weird. I can right click and see popup menus on application windows, but nothing for the desktop. Any ideas? [04:27] I use Linux and Windows 7, but by Apple locking their OS to there HW makes me laugh [04:27] I'm running Gnome on ubuntu 9.10 64bit [04:27] iflema: and the reason of showing only one output device in 'output' tab, because in 'hardware' tab it's only detecting one output device...so first I've to recognise another output jack to the hardware anyway, then the second output device will be seen in 'output' tab :) [04:27] brianherman_home, no such device, only sda sda1 sda2 sda5 sda6 sdb sdb1 sdc [04:27] smegzor: its a config that allows that.. what you wanna do.. change settings ? [04:27] Openfiler is good too [04:28] (which are all drives that are other things) [04:28] BARIBAL: sda5 sorry [04:28] Quan-Time: find settings would be a good start. [04:28] Not sure where to look first [04:28] brianherman_home, that's my first HD, swap space. [04:29] * Xfact don't worrie iflema, he's making another graphical html for showing the 'solution' he found, he just need to review it by peoples :) [04:29] smegzor: system - administration - Nvidia settings. *OR* alt + f2 and enter "nvidia-settings" and you should get the nvidia control centre thing === Nightw0lf is now known as Nightwolf [04:29] n2diy: Hm, nothing. Reboot also nothing. I'm beginning to wonder if this network card is broken. [04:29] Baribal: type mount what do you see [04:30] Quan-Time: that is installed, but doesn't come up when I try to launch it. [04:30] Baribal: Have you tryed running gParted? [04:30] Where is a pastebin service for a picture (a screenshot) having a guaranteed erase time? [04:30] smegzor: umm.. not sure.. is the driver enabled ? or using generic one ? [04:30] is there a package I need to install for media, I just installed xbuntu today after running Fedora for about two years [04:31] puff: yes, this is weird, can you ping the card? [04:31] brianherman_home, there's a partition on the cell phone already. [04:31] I enabled the latest driver.. version 185 [04:31] Baribal: You can use gparted to mount devices [04:31] lol [04:31] smegzor: system - administration - hardware drivers. === ari_stress is now known as ari_jalan2 [04:31] oh.. so its enabled smegzor ? umm.. not sure honestly [04:31] omfg [04:31] ChogyDan: no luck, i really appreciate you help though [04:31] jroc: I do not know what xbuntu is. [04:31] I'll try the other driver listed there. [04:31] I still kept my eye on Ubuntu the whole time, go a 1.4Ghz with 2GB MB [04:31] I don't want to overwtire the phones partition, I'm pretty sure that'd cause major problems! [04:32] smegzor: you need to select it and "enable it.. it may require reboot" [04:32] bullgard, Xubuntu [04:32] Baribal: It wont trust me it will just mount it [04:32] Baribal: You can just right click and mount the partition [04:32] n2diy: What, ping 127.0.0.1? [04:32] jroc: And what "media" are you speaking about? [04:32] I can not, there's no icon for that devoce, and as the pase showed, direct mount doesn't work either. [04:33] hellokittens45: yeah, its too bad. good luck [04:33] Baribal: it must be in some format that linux cannot recognize then [04:33] Baribal: sorry [04:33] puff: no, that is your LO, ping the ip address for eth0 that ifconfig reports. [04:33] Baribal: wait gparted can do things that normal users cannot [04:34] Baribal: It wont format it [04:34] n2diy: From the same box or from elsewhere in the network? [04:34] ChogyDan: Gnome3 comes out in April, hope theres a fix then [04:34] puff: from the same box. [04:34] installing gparted...

[04:40] robbins61, after you type in your password, type boxee in the search [04:41] Izinucs: when i do run command and type in firefox it simply just shows the installer package [04:41] Zhenya: Try to open firefox from a command line and read the error message ensuing. [04:41] robbins61, this will allow you to completely remove the deb and associated files [04:41] Is there a method of binding a static DNS address to my ethernet & wifi cards so I don't get them assigned auto-magically? I would like to use Google's DNS so I don't get mal-formed URL redirection. [04:41] puff: ok, for some reason the card isn't getting an IP address. Can you now ping outside of the box? [04:41] addendium: I change wifi & ethernet networks 2-5 times a day [04:42] Zhenya: isn't there a FF icon on the upper deskbar/taskbar thingy [04:42] bullgard: how do i do that?

[04:44] help? [04:44] robbins61, there should be an "i" in the left of the screen [04:44] Hammerjak, Ah okay, i do have that... Good to know :) I'll try and find a tut on showing the menu with that version, then, thanks! [04:44] puff: ok, so you can ping eth0 after assigning it an IP address, but you can't ping anything else on your network? Could be a firewall issue? [04:44] robbins61, with the name of the package [04:45] n2diy: Hm, I can't ping the gateway either, so... [04:45] robbins61, correct? [04:45] robbins61, sudo aptitude remove --purge boxee [04:46] n2diy: I manually set it to 192.168.1.100, because that's the subnet my router/firewall/wap/etc is set to. [04:46] robbins61, this will remove the package and config files that were installed [04:47] puff, yes, so something is blocking your pings, and eth0 is responding, so something is blocking the pings. 192.168.1.100 should work, unless something else is using that IP? [04:47] n2diy: I don't see its MAC showing up in the router's web interface. [04:47] Nope, nothing else using that IP. [04:47] Or if it is, the router doesn'tknow about it. [04:47] robbins61, you can also do the same for any installed dependencies (to see the package contents: aptitude show boxee) [04:47] whats the default sound device for alsa? [04:48] Zhenya: Type now in a terminal: "sudo apt-get install firefox-3.50x10n". What message do you obtain now?

But you know eth0 is working. [04:48] morrigan_: changing it? or just displaying a hash instead of the key when you try to look at it? [04:48] oh x10n [04:48] letme try that [04:49] Reading package lists... DonenBuilding dependency treenReading state information... DonenE: Couldn't find package firefox-3.5x10n [04:49] same thing for 3.0 [04:49] and 3.5 [04:49] morrigan_: if its showing gibberish, thats a hash of the key. it should still be sending the right data [04:49] and 3.5x10n [04:49] maco I try to connect to my wireless network it fails adn when I display the key is shows random, loking, numbers/letters [04:49] bullgard: did you get that ? [04:50] Zhenya: I did not write 'firefox' but I wrote 'firefox-3.50x10n'. Is there no difference? [04:50] maco ok I get that [04:50] morrigan_: yeah its not changing the key. it just shows you can encrypted copy of it. i dont know why it does that, but it does [04:50] n2diy: Yeah. Much thanks for your help, though. [04:50] puff: GL [04:50] maco is it common for ubuntu 8.10 to drop wifi connections? [04:50] hello... [04:50] morrigan_: i skipped 8.10 actually [04:51] morrigan_: may try installing linux-backports-modules-generic [04:51] no difference at all [04:51] maco, depends on chipset [04:51] bullgard: see above [04:51] morrigan_: thatll get you a newer wireless stack. may help. [04:51] hatake_kakashi: yeah, as usual [04:52] maco which version works best with wireless? [04:52] morrigan_: that will always depend on the wireless hardware [04:52] morrigan_, depends on which chipset you have [04:52] Zhenya: I do not know what's wrong with your configuration. May be another run of Kubuntu's Update Manager is indicated for you. [04:52] morrigan_: its also possible you could try not using network manager [04:52] how do i do that?

What application would you guys recommend? I'm looking for something that can preferably play music and video, with an amarok style playlist, though if it can't play video then I just want something like amarok, but maybe with a faster database. Anyone suggest something better than amarok? [04:56] morrigan_, there should only be one line in lspci output that you will need to type it in.. look for something like network controller [04:57] morrigan_, better yet, don't you have a spare network cable to plug the laptop in? [04:57] morrigan_: ok try doing "sudo stop NetworkManager" then "gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces" and put something like http://paste.ubuntu.com/353791/ and then "sudo ifup wlan0" (um assuming your wireless is wlan0. if its eth1, then use that. iwconfig will tell you which it is) [04:57] hatake_kakashi: morrigan_ already said they didnt [04:57] maco, ahh ok I've missed that [04:57] maco hatake_kakashe my server takes up a few ports....

[05:03] Does it have anything to with fcsk? [05:03] maco stopping networkmanager isnt working it calls "unknown job [05:03] one more thing though...what's the proper install proceedure for jungle disk...obviously can't use synaptic [05:04] Pickley: fsck is the filesystem checker. if it runs its either because it does that every so often (every 30 boots or so) or because you shut down wrong [05:04] Pickley: is that a typo, try fsck? [05:04] morrigan_: networkmanager or NetworkManager? [05:04] maco is there a better network manaer for use with gnome [05:04] everyone, I am having sound problem http://avinandan.hd1.in/soundprob.html and I've got this solution http://avinandan.hd1.in/temp_soliution.html... anyone can help? [05:04] maco I tried it with capitals shoud I try fully lower cased [05:04] :9 [05:05] :( [05:05] maco: it runs on boot all the time anyway, says everything is clean then it just stalls the system [05:05] what up [05:05] any nexus one user here? [05:05] morrigan_: i believe its all caps, but hey since 8.10 was a while ago lets try "sudo /etc/init.d/NetworkManager stop" [05:05] morrigan_: er, not all caps. camelcase. [05:05] I can't get to a console because it stalls [05:05] top and... what else calls upon your cpu usage? [05:06] fuck [05:06] i wanna hae sex [05:06] lol [05:06] morrigan_: maybe wicd?

[05:07] morrigan_: try wicd [05:07] lol [05:07] I've added another partition to fstab and mounted it.. I want to make sure that when it auto mounts it's "read/write" capable.. fstab line looks like "UUID="7d4a2d7f-aee9-4dfa-bb47-76314a1acf79" /media/Data ext4 defaults 0 2 [05:07] .. do I need to add anything else to the line? [05:07] morrigan_: if it works with wicd but not network manager, then the problem is likely in nm [05:07] summerboy: well he used the wrong you're [05:07] johntramp: you said 'top' and what other command? [05:07] hi ubuntu! what user/group does php run under? I know it's not www-data but I can't figure it out. [05:07] so he got kicked for grammar mistakes?

[05:08] maco do I apt wicd or should I look for it in synaptics gui [05:08] by request. :) [05:08] morrigan_: either one [05:08] mmm, guess I'll use a live disc and try running fsck [05:08] a swift kick in his 'request' [05:08] Aggrav8d: depends on how you run it.. if you run it as your user it's your.. if you run php an apache module it's as www-data user ;) [05:08] Izinucs: that looks good to me [05:08] maco will it have a version number I need to add? [05:08] Izinucs it will be mounted wheater or nor you can read write depends on permisions [05:09] morrigan_: sudo apt-get install wicd should do it [05:09] maco I only ask becouse of problems I had a while back adding php to me server... [05:09] squidly - how can i check? php is running as an apache module but doesn't seem to have the same permissions. [05:09] Hammerjak: Awesome3000 however I can't copy anything to it.. How do I check the owner and permissions? [05:09] maco ok brb ty [05:09] squidly - i can't chmod() from php on a dir that is www-data:www-data [05:09] Aggrav8d: i'm not 100% sure to be totally honist.. I have not setup php in a while [05:10] veryone, I am having sound problem http://avinandan.hd1.in/soundprob.html and I've got this solution http://avinandan.hd1.in/temp_soliution.html... anyone can help? [05:11] There's no ffmpeg-devel for Ubuntu? :S [05:11] hi [05:11] Hammerjak, was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a media suite better than amarok. Preferably one with similar playlisting [though with a faster database preferably] and if such a thing exists, one that can handle many different formats. Like if there were an alternate GUI to mplayer that put the player and playlist in one window even, that'd be awesome. [05:11] after installing xp drivers with windows wireless drivers, I run sudo modprobe ndiswrapper and get the following message: WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper, it will be ignored in a future release. How might this be fixed? [05:11] what was that all about with summerboy, I hate trolls! [05:12] Maybe it's a bad sector on my drive... [05:12] really need some help with audio in ubuntu 9.10 [05:12] jukebox-zero: did you also say you wanted video playback? [05:12] inoh: sudo mv /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper.conf [05:12] maco no go with apt trying synaptic now [05:13] sudo apt-get install ffmpeg-devel >> Couldn't find package ffmpeg-devel [05:13] Hammerjak, preferably... I've got a lot of music vids too. But I can live with using two different great programs rather than one shoddy program if that's the way to go. [05:13] How I can install ffmpeg-devel in Ubuntu? [05:13] Izinucs gksu nautilus will open a root nautilus so you should be able to change the permissions on the partition [05:13] can anyone point me to a good tutorial on customizing grub2 entries, being used to the simple menu.lst in grub 1.x I can't seem to figure out how to customize grub2? [05:13] jukebox-zero: for audio i use songbird (a mozilla app), but if you want a media center have you tried xbmc? [05:14] !grub2 | neodragon [05:14] neodragon: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [05:14] I loved using yum and rpm, now I'll have to get used to "apt-get" [05:14] Hammerjak, I was hoping you'd mention songbird, I haven't tried it since i was in alpha. How's that working out now? [05:14] hi guys.. see my friend mernil is banned from his channel, and that makes so mad [05:14] Xfact: should be ok... as long as you subwoofer is amplified/hot.... lol. need one ill FedEx ya one ive got millions [05:14] jukebox-zero: i really like it because it imports itunes library xml files and supports the embedded artwork itunes stores in the files [05:15] jukebox-zero: if you install the add-on "now playing list" it will be an amarok-like playlist [05:15] darth_mohl: tell your friend to ask in #ubuntu-ops about resolving the issue [05:15] Hammerjak, andno I've never tried xbmc. From the hip rating, would you call it +/- awesomeness vs amarok? [05:15] and i dont want him to get any angrier IdleOne okay, thsnk [05:15] How can i remove the delay when dropping things on app in the taskbar [05:15] how do I verify I am a member of the pulse-audio groups from the command line, no sound in ubuntu-server ....... [05:15] Google Groups (http://imagebin.org/79000) does not find my article which I wrote in news.software.readers on Tuesday at 22:10. What did I fill in this form wrongly? [05:15] jukebox-zero: since i'm on gnome i refuse to use amarok (i used it when i was kde), songbird is the closest thing i've found [05:16] iflema: well, my subwoofer lives always hot, because of some hot songs...lol, but I never heard subwoofer or sound system get warm for extended usage! [05:16] jukebox-zero: i had to install addons like 'song notifier' and 'firetray' to get some of the features i liked in amarok [05:16] Awesome3000: any idea what the kde version of gksu is? kdsu, kdesu, kdesudo [05:16] Hammerjak, and regarding formats, is songbird using the gstreamer libs? meaning they can now play .wma if I have the proper gstreamer plug-ins? [05:16] anyone have any suggestions on why I can't get fusion-icon working on intrepid (.kde3) [05:16] iflema: thanks for your all help...(i hope you liked my this way to ask for help :) ) [05:16] ubuntu sucks [05:16] jukebox-zero: i believe so but I haven't tried, i know they work on the itunes plus (drm-free) files bought through itunes [05:16] thanks [05:17] Melvinov, wrong channel then [05:17] I had it working on my other attempts, but I can't remember which combination of packages I used, compiz, comiz (kde), or all compiz kde kde3 [05:17] Izinucs kdesu [05:17] i want my friedn mernil to get unbanned damnit! Who the hell is in charge here? [05:17] hammerjak, what's the extension on those drm-free files? [05:17] Melvinov: Please be more specific and do not troll. [05:17] jukebox-zero: .aac [05:17] darth_mohl: #ubuntu-ops [05:17] sounds like a lot of work [05:17] it was a walid quetion! [05:17] neodragon http://grub.enbug.org/ this is the grub wiki [05:18] darth_mohl: it is a valid question for #ubuntu-ops not #ubuntu [05:18] maco wicd is no go [05:18] Awesome3000: not available.. [05:18] morrigan_: bleh. well try the /etc/network/interfaces thing i said before maybe? [05:18] morrigan_: and if not, try a newer version of ubuntu. 8.10's being axed in 3 months anyway [05:19] i let my cats out recently but ou stilll mocking me.. thanks so *censorship* much ;-) [05:19] Awesome3000: thanks for the help [05:19] maco which version are you using? [05:19] morrigan_: 9.10 [05:19] !ot | darth_mohl [05:19] mint pwns [05:19] darth_mohl: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [05:19] Izinucs nautilus is Gnomes File manager try a KDE one [05:19] maco 9.10 was realy glitchy for me... [05:19] !mintsupport | Melvinov [05:19] Melvinov: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [05:19] morrigan_: yeah 9.10 we put a bunch of experimental stuff in to prepare for 10.04 (which i should be testing...er...). try 9.04. [05:19] maco are you using 32 or 64 bit version? [05:20] hammerjak, if it plays aac then I can probably assume it'll play wma since I always see the two bundled together in the same plugins. :) What's the interface like on xbmc? Did you like or dislike it? [05:20] Awesome3000: already figured that one out.. just looking for the command to start it via cli in root mode.. [05:20] morrigan_: 64 [05:20] neodragon: First place to look is /etc/default/grub [05:20] jukebox-zero: i've only tinkered with xbmc, haven't used it extensively [05:20] morrigan_: but i'm used to glitches as i'm someone who usually runs alpha versions to test them, so 9.10 doesnt bother me [05:20] Whoa...there is alot of people in here... [05:20] morrigan_: 9.04 is more stable [05:20] could someone point me in the direction of net5217.inf, google was no help [05:20] bleh [05:20] maco I will run up to 9.04 for now becouse 9.10 is unstabe for me [05:21] Can someone tell me how to network my Ubuntu box, and my other Ubuntu box? [05:21] inoh, wireless? [05:21] jukebox-zero: it originated on modded xboxes so most of the interface is built with a console controller in mind (lots of arrowing up/down rather than mouse movement) [05:21] yes [05:21] Izinucs kdesu should do it [05:21] Darkedge: Please be more specific and report the error messages which you obtain. [05:21] its a xp driver [05:21] g'night & thx [05:21] I really need to add a user to the pulse audio groups, I must do this from command line, and I have no idea how to do this [05:22] inoh: who the hell are oou? [05:22] johntramp or you online [05:22] inoh, how is the wireless connected? [05:22] darth_mohl, please stop that [05:22] maco thank you for your help [05:22] bullgard: I don't know where to start.

[05:23] Hammerjak. Ah, that gives me a good idea of it's orientation and what the designers had in mind. I was skeptical of going back into songbird without checking to see whatelse is out there. It's been long enough I'm sure they've come a long way. EWven back in alpha the GUI was *impressive* though playable formats left something to be desired, only reason I switched to amarok. Which was a pain... [05:23] ...because I'm on gnome too. [05:23] 07:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) [05:23] Awesome3000, he's gone [05:24] inoh, that chipset should be supported in linux natively, why are you using ndiswrapper?

[05:25] the xp drivers are going half speed === _zen__ is now known as _zen_ [05:25] et [05:25] which is 3 times faster than the native drivers where going [05:25] Jordan_U, it says group pulse-rt does not exist, why is that if i installed pulse audio server? [05:27] Hammerjak, I've been hoping for 2+ years now that someone would just build an alternate frontend to either mplayer or ffmpeg, either of which would make a totally awesome media suite with a database [media library] extension and some rearranging/merging of GUI's [05:27] NotTooSmart: I don't know, you may need to create the group yourself. Try asking in #pulseaudio ( also in karmic I think real time priority for pulseaudio is disabled ) [05:27] bullgard: Well I want to be able to A. Share Files B. Printer share | https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/internet/C/networking.html <--- For me? [05:27] Jordan_U: yes it is [05:28] Jordan_U: unless you have the -rt kernel, maybe? [05:28] jukebox-zero: yeah, that'd be nice but i can't find anything that even comes close, rhythmbox, banshee, and gnome listen just don't do it for me, songbird is the best i've found [05:29] please, help... I'm installing ffmpeg-php and it needs ffmpeg-devel... there's no ffmpeg-devel in any repository :S [05:29] maco: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/406702 [05:29] can I reinstall the native driver from the live cd? If so, where might I find help with that? [05:29] Hello, today when i turned on my computer i couldnt boot because it said BOOTMGR Missing, what should I do? [05:29] Jordan_U: ooooh that.... [05:29] PauloRicardo ffmpeg-devel sounds like a developers build [05:30] pauloricardo, you could always install the ffmpeg available from source though svn. Google svn ffmpeg and follow their directions [05:30] Awesome3000: nice [05:31] brianherman_home what do mean [05:31] Hammerjak, Sounds like a plan man. Any complaints with songbird at all? Any trouble you ran into other than plugins, which being mozilla based, is super easy to fix, I assume. [05:31] jukebox-zero: actually, yeah, that's the biggest complaint... they recently released version 1.4.2 and it broke a few of my plugins [05:32] well, I installed these packages and the ./configure worked: libavformat-dev libavcodec-dev libgd2-xpm-dev :) [05:32] jukebox-zero: also, importing an itunes library imports my video files even though songbird doesn't know how to play them [05:32] thanks any way :D [05:33] hey guys. i'm a little stumped here. i'm trying to download a video from a link in firefox, but when i click it it starts playing the video in the firefox page instead of asking me to download it. it's not a link that i can just right click+download. [05:33] how do I change ownership for all the files and subdirectories of a folder by using chown? [05:33] Hammerjak, heh, just like firefox. Oh well, that's not so much a problem I guess. Better than a lot of alternatives. And since I migrated from windows long ago, I've been keeping my music and video playlist segregated for a while. [05:33] eNonsense once it is open can you drag it to the download icon [05:34] crimsun, thanks for your help, it said configuring for per user session, but still no output from vl [05:34] jukebox-zero: then yeah you should be fine [05:34] NotTooSmart: err, that should only be the case if you didn't edit /etc/default/pulseaudio [05:34] NotTooSmart: did you change "PULSEAUDIO_SYSTEM_START=0" to "PULSEAUDIO_SYSTEM_START=1"? [05:34] Darkedge: For file sharing, read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba [05:34] crimsun, no [05:35] Awesome3000, it doesn't seem like i can drag the playing video. [05:35] Google Groups (http://imagebin.org/79000) does not find my article which I wrote in news.software.readers on Tuesday at 22:10. What did I fill in this form wrongly? [05:35] eNonsense try the address bar or tab [05:36] eNonsense: open a terminal and type 'wget ' [05:36] crimsun, ok, changed it to 1 and restarted pulse still no luck [05:36] Hammerjak, I may just have to look into some scripting to streamline video playback using mplayer... I think I can grep to clean up duplicates from my video playlist ... If i remember right random has some issues on mplayer, actuallythat's probably amarok I'm thinking of. [05:36] Hello, what should i do so i can boot my windows xp partitio? Thank You [05:36] jukebox-zero: well, you can always give xbmc a shot [05:37] ivan_ add it to grub [05:37] Thanks guys, but I can't even try this now. Vimeo has a new rule that you can only download like 3 videos a day and i guess it's cutting me off and i can't even try your suggestions. even though i actually didn't download anything, it thinks that i did. [05:37] Awesome3000. how do i do that? [05:37] Hammerjak, so xbmc does support video playback? Cool. Do you know if it uses gstreamer or something else? [05:38] jukebox-zero: not sure what it does, but it's a whole media center manager. video, music, images, etc. [05:38] How do I administer "upstart" [05:38] any idea how i can copy stuff in the command line with a progress meter? [05:38] NotTooSmart: did you logout and login after adding your user to pulse-access? [05:38] crimsun, no one sec [05:39] Try an entry like http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d6bd71b6a [05:39] ivan_ [05:39] crimsun, im gonna reboot the machine real quick, do I need to do anything when it starts or just try the sound? [05:40] Hammerjak, that could be cool. Worth trying anyway. [05:40] Awesome3000, thanks ill try it [05:40] BTW, Hammerjak & Awesome3000, I just went into firefox add-ons and disabled the quicktime, vlc and windows media plugins and i think it's gonna do what i want.

Can someone help me get java running in firefox? [06:12] scotlfs, have you added the medibuntu repo? [06:13] 100 ppl 1 op? [06:13] JECHO I don't know what that is [06:13] did you go this website... [06:13] All I know is I already have sun-java-bin and sun-java-jre install, and the FAQ says that should be it [06:13] http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp?detect=jre&try=1 [06:14] that should autodetect java if it exists in your firefox browser [06:14] niekie: itll autoconfigure whatever you dont define [06:14] bleepbloop, you can run it with usb-creator-gtk on terminal [06:14] I have 3 250 gig drives one is for OS and other 2 are for storage. I want to switch that pc from win 7 to ubuntu so can some one explain what format my two 250 gig storage drives should be in, they currently are ntfs [06:14] crimsun, where does this information go, just curious :-) [06:14] i got a question, kinda a dumb question just out of curiosity [06:15] is there such thing as a distro with no command line interface? [06:15] syllogismrxs: thanks, I seem to be installing some stuff from there... [06:15] scotlfs: run this command just to ensure sun java is set: sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun [06:15] oorah, I could be dumb for saying this, but i'd say no.. since linux kind of needs one? even every ver of windows had a cmd line [06:16] scotlfs: also (after that) run java -version to make sure java is the right version [06:16] petsounds: I don't understand [06:16] oorah: you could have one it's only goal is to run one program. My guess is embedded computers have no command line. but I have never heard of a distro [06:16] I appreciate the help, I am not a linux moron, the opposite in fact, all this management stuff that ubuntu has actually makes my life harder sometimes....I can't do it manually without breaking something :( [06:17] scotlfs, i just installed the java firefox plugin using that address i sent you and it worked [06:17] oorah: any linux i've seen has SOME way to access the console... many of them via ctrl+alt+F1 (press ctrl+alt+F7 to get back to X) [06:17] i am just getting my ubuntu installation up again after reformatting this computer [06:17] I just typed in 'dpkg -l 'usb-creator'' and I'm still unsure as to if its there or not :( [06:18] scotlfs: well next time you might try the Ubuntu Software Center (in Applications menu); it's a user-friendly synaptic, basically, but sometimes might do things that make your life a little easier... [06:18] bleepbloop, you can search the synaptics gui [06:18] Ricket: or not as in my case [06:18] or I wouldn't be here [06:18] burzki: how would I go about that? [06:18] oh :) [06:18] cause I don't want to break stuff by manually screwing with the software on the filesystem [06:18] why windows follows links and linux not? [06:19] on cifs shares? [06:19] I can follow links on CIFS shares [06:19] ivan_ you still ther [06:19] how? [06:19] bleepbloop, System/admin/synaptic .. search bar whatever. green box is yes [06:20] saladcatsad, you talking about Window 7 [06:20] no [06:20] anyoone can help me?

[06:21] windows machines see the linked files [06:21] but linux machines do not see [06:21] but no software is open [06:21] what to do? [06:21] i cant install any software [06:22] woru update manager is probable running in the background [06:22] oh [06:22] how to quit it? [06:22] burzki, thanks. ext4 is linux = to ms ntfs? [06:22] greetings [06:22] saladcatsad, Win7 got the linking from Linux, what are you talking about here [06:22] and thanks for not being banned! :-) [06:23] awesome? [06:23] plz tell me [06:23] lakota, journaling filesystem. ext3 good also, 4 is the new version generally for karmic forward [06:23] not awesome, but unusual [06:23] what the hell windows 7 [06:23] i talk about xp windows [06:24] awesome3000 [06:24] plz tell [06:24] other than 'top', is there any way to view your cpu usage? [06:24] woru sudo dpkg --configure -a try that command [06:24] those samba stuff is buggy at all [06:24] ok [06:24] saladcatsad, xp is just too old man, come on it 2010 [06:24] i see it on windows machines, but not on linux machines [06:24] i prefer ext3 . i used to like reiser.. but after that murder trial.. i'll stick wich ext3 i think! [06:24] mahngiel: htop is much better IMHO [06:24] done [06:24] lets try [06:24] darth_mohl: less than the murder trial... more that there's no one who seems to be maintaining it [06:25] on the other hand ext's team is closely linked to the kernel team, so there'll always be maintainace [06:25] ardchoille: thanks. i appreciate it [06:25] yw [06:25] ardchoille: hopefully it'll print out with grep commands in a script [06:26] and i see the links with gnome commander [06:26] mahngiel: you can also try ps for that, man ps [06:26] it says:the installtion or removal of the software failed [06:26] i've installed ubuntu numerous times over the years, but with the new 'simplified' partition editor, I'm not sure where i can select where to put the bootloader. [06:26] is it going to default to sda? I want it on sdb [06:26] ardchoille: thx, again. i'll see what's grep'able. [06:27] i miss gparted. I guess there isn't a way to bring that up during install [06:27] some arch is missing [06:27] on my PC [06:27] but which [06:27] saladcatsad, what are you trying to do with XP? [06:27] nothing [06:27] i do not use XP [06:27] i said u use LINUX [06:27] burzki, ext4 will allow me to be able to open drive on desktop and create files and folders to copy my stuff into and organize? I would like to find way to make picture, music, and documents all link to home folder from other drives is that easy for a newbie like me to do? if I kill ubuntu I want my other drives to have all the files on them so it is easy to reinstall without loosing anything [06:27] but on xp i can see the links, on linux i can't [06:28] only gnome-commander displays it correctly [06:28] where can find a good php chat room [06:28] awesome [06:28] should i login as root? [06:28] i merged many directories into one [06:28] to use ubuntu software centre [06:28] using symlinks [06:29] saladcatsad, you can see the links within gnome-commander via your Linux box? [06:29] yes [06:30] but not on a cifs mount [06:30] lakota, yes. ext4 as /home or /home2, etc .. whatever [06:30] can i choose which drive will get grub during intrepid install? [06:30] burzki, thanks for your help :) [06:30] lakota, but with all that disc space you could make appropriate sized partitions [06:31] each /music /files /pictures .. however [06:31] ok [06:31] that sounds good [06:31] saladcatsad, and you need to see the link on XP...why-LOL [06:32] everyone [06:32] jroc: i see the files on xp it works on a xp machine [06:32] but i need to see the files on the linux machine [06:32] i need a bit help [06:32] anyone ?

[06:34] i need to see the files on the linux box because i see the files on the xp box [06:34] I need to read up on linux partitions and formats since I am sure it is much more efficient than the way windows dose theirs. know any good sites or such that I can read up on?

[07:01] ivan_: That's worrying. [07:01] Ziber, what about Ubuntu Server? Then you can install gnome if you need to [07:01] bigfootbuilt, i think you won't need ubuntuzilla for karmic since it ships with ff 3.5 so it will update automatically. i'm now running ff 3.5.7 [07:02] petsounds: When you click "about firefox" in the browser what version does it show? [07:02] Jordan_U, dont worry me :$ i could mount it this morning until i enabled the bootable option in disk utilities and i think it didnt formatted because it tooke a few minutes only [07:02] jroc: im using ubuntu server.

[08:31] i move the .mozilla/firefox/ directory to .mozilla/ffx- and it will reset settings, but when i move it back, i can no longer click menus. there's some glitchy config file that is causing this.

[08:34] hi im using tiger to scan my system and when i try to access the log in root it says permission denied [08:34] Is it a problem if I install the 386 version on my laptop that has a 64 bit chip? [08:34] neezer: nope [08:34] ziroday: ya opened [08:34] AgentHeX, check this list? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions [08:34] Hunt5: awesome, do you see stuff inside that file? [08:34] ziroday: any disadvantages? [08:34] ziroday: yes stuff is fine [08:34] can u tell me how to uninstall it via terminal [08:34] neezer, how much ram [08:35] 4GB [08:35] neezer: err some argue that 64bit is faster, and you can't use more then ~3.5GB of ram [08:35] (unless you install PAE) [08:35] install linux-generic-pae if you choose the 32bit neezer [08:35] AgentHeX, also check out this site: http://www.techgravy.net/2009/06/how-to-enable-right-click-function-in.html [08:35] what is PAE? [08:35] !pae [08:35] Hunt5: okay, at the bottom of the file add the line "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/gstreamer-developers/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main" [08:35] neezer, allows all 4gb to be utilized [08:36] taofd: no dice. can't get into tools menu. [08:36] taofd: click doesn't work, alt+F combo doesn't work either. [08:36] AgentHeX, mm... back up your .mozilla config folder, and wipe it? [08:36] !mov [08:36] oh...I think I'll wait until I get home...I'm at an oil rig right now and want to upgrade. I have a slow internet connection and the only ISO that I have handy is the 386 one. [08:36] AgentHeX, then try installing one addon at a time, and using it for a while until you run into the problematic addon [08:36] taofd: did that. problem temporarily fixed. [08:36] Hunt5: when done close and save [08:36] im using tiger to scan my system and when i try to access the log in root it says permission denied [08:37] AgentHeX, i'm suspicious that it is one of the addons... i don't think it's noscript [08:37] Can somebody help me figure out why i cant play quicktime anymore [08:37] ziroday: ya saved and closed [08:37] deadant2, what player are you using? [08:37] Hunt5: okay, now type in "sudo apt-get update" and then "sudo apt-get upgrade" [08:37] taofd, Vlc and totem [08:37] taofd: i'm on Facebook a lot, and i know it's very javascript intensive. i'm wondering if maybe it doesn't play well with NoScript. [08:38] deadant2, and even VLC doesn't work? o_O; [08:38] are update and upgrade not same? [08:38] taofd, Yeah, used to but now both instantly crash. [08:38] AgentHeX, well... i use noscript... and use facebook though maybe not that much... it seems to work well for me? I've never had right click issues [08:38] deadant2, did this start recently? does it do it for all quicktime files or just some? [08:39] Hunt5: no they are not. Update updates the files on your system...security patches and that sort of thing. and upgrade is going from one distro to the next...like going from 9.04 to 9.10 [08:39] Hunt5: no they are very different, any errors? [08:39] neezer: not quite :) [08:39] taofd, All quicktime ive tried, just recently too [08:39] Hunt5: update checks to see if there is new software to download, whilst upgrade actually downloads and installs the new software [08:40] deadant2, have you tried completely uninstalling the players that have issues, and removing their config folders and reinstalling them? [08:40] ziroday: thanks! sorry about the misinformation hunt5. [08:40] taofd, I just recently installed ubuntu [08:40] Hunt5: update updates the list of packages. Upgrade upgrades to new versions of packages. [08:40] taofd, err vlc [08:40] neezer: no worries :) [08:40] ziroday: does that mean i can run sudo apt-get upgrade and still be running 9.04? [08:41] any errors when it crashes? [08:41] neezer: yep! [08:41] deadant2, *any errors when it crashes? [08:41] how to use reliance data card in ubuntu [08:41] neezer: doing sudo apt-get upgrade won't upgrade you to 9.10 (that would be do-release-upgrade ;) ) [08:41] taofd, Not when i click on a file, tonst of stuff when i do it in terminal [08:41] neezer, that's dist upgrade [08:42] isolat3dsh33p: no dist-upgrade is something different again. [08:42] thanks ziroday and isolat3dsh33p. [08:42] how to use reliance data card in ubuntu?? [08:42] hmmm [08:42] ziroday: in update, few W at the end, but no errors [08:42] i am upgrading [08:42] Hunt5: awesome! [08:42] deadant2, to be honest i'm not sure, i'd recommend you try reinstalling first? o_O; [08:42] ziroday, he said about ubgrading the distro right? [08:42] ziroday: upgrade seems to be taking some time.. [08:42] *upgrading [08:43] Hunt5: well its downloading the new software :) [08:43] isolat3dsh33p: hmm? [08:43] how to use reliance data card in ubuntu?? [08:43] ziroday: actually, gstreamer developers gavwe me tat link to add ppas, is that's what we did now?? [08:43] isolat3dsh33p, dist-upgrade is not the same as upgrade [08:43] Hunt5: yep! [08:43] isolat3dsh33p: and its different again to do-release-upgrade [08:43] but i dont understand, can u explain me if that's possible [08:43] bazhang, ziroday: ok, i'm wrong. :) [08:43] what is the significance of the line we added?? [08:43] deadant2, i also assume your using karmic? [08:43] what does that do? [08:44] taofd, Yeah [08:44] Hunt5: okay, can I give you some links to read? [08:44] is there a GNU app that can play flash? or would you have to install the non-free flash in order to utilize flash websites? [08:44] deadant2, i don't use VLC very often, and almost never use totem... have you tried mplayer and the codecs in medi-buntu? [08:44] neezer: gnash and swfdec can, but they can't play all flash content [08:44] exit [08:44] Hunt5: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu [08:44] neezer, you referring to youtube flv files? [08:45] deadant2, here's the link, hopefully if all else fails, at least mplayer will play your content (as a temporary fix) 6__6; https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu [08:45] taofd, thanks installing mplayer now [08:45] I'm just referring to any kind of flash on websites....I don't think I want to load flash on my next install....trying to go all free software. [08:45] deadant2, hope it works :) [08:45] ziroday: ya thank you [08:45] Hunt5: have fun! [08:46] AgentHeX, but yeah, hopefully if you install an addon one at a time after a few days testing inbetween you can figure out which one it is... [08:46] AgentHeX, good luck :D [08:46] neezer, not really; the flashplugin-nonfree is the only viable alternative for watching online flashplugin-installer in karmic iirc [08:46] Any reason mysql-server5.1 continuously fails when it installs? getting this message: invoke-rc.d: initscript mysql, action "start" failed. [08:46] dpkg: error processing mysql-server-5.1 (--configure): [08:46] oh well....I guess we can't win them all...thanks bazhang [08:46] neezer, if you dl youtube mplayer and vlc can play them fine though (flv) [08:46] bazhang, I thought you need to remove flashplugin-nonfree for flash to be working :/ [08:47] taofd: thanks. i reinstalled 9.10 on a new hard disk. i'd never experienced on previous install of 9.10 and it hadn't happened until the new install. i'll see if i can hunt down the reason. thanks. [08:47] neezer, for example youtube-dl URL [08:47] *working properly with compiz actually. :) [08:48] the biggest reason that I want to upgrade to 9.10 is that I think I can get my ipod touch to sync with rhythmbox if I'm using 9.10....is there anyone here that knows how to set up an ipod touch or iphone? [08:48] * isolat3dsh33p don't have and iPhone [08:48] *an [08:49] neezer, which version of ipod [08:49] 2.2.1 is my firmware...it is an older one...not sure if it is 1g or 2g though. [08:49] i have it jailbroken though. [08:49] neezer, as far as I know iPhone only works via vm with windows xp [08:50] neezer, nano? mini? what gen [08:50] ipod touch. [08:50] bazhang, is there a way I can check what gen it is? [08:50] neezer, what about trying with livecd of karmic first [08:51] that is a good idea. [08:51] neezer, not sure, if it is a couple of years old should do though [08:51] i think you need to install a few things though....like gtkpod in order for it to work. can you install things like that with a live cd? [08:51] rhythmbox is hugely improved in Karmic [08:52] for some strange reason my ipod will not load in gtkpod [08:52] awesome....I like rhythmbox as it is, but if it is even better, I'll have to check it out. [08:52] neezer: AFAIK ipod touches should "just work" in karmic [08:52] it mounts the file structure just fine. [08:52] ziroday: awesome!!! [08:52] but both ipod management tools i've used so far do not detect it, anyone got an idea? [08:52] I love it when things 'just work'! [08:52] neezer, never needed it with fresh install of karmic here; rhythmbox handled older mini and classic perfectly well [08:52] neezer: don't hold me to that however :) [08:53] * Karmic is away: Pe taramul viselor!! [08:53] Drunken_Irony: i've had that too....my ipod touch won't show up in gtkpod in jaunty. [08:53] Drunken_Irony, which ipod and which version of ubuntu? tried with rhythmbox if in karmic? [08:53] !away > Karmic [08:53] Karmic, please see my private message [08:53] its a 4th gen I think? the first of the 30gb videos that came out, and i'm sporting 9.10 for ubuntu [08:54] never tried gtkpod [08:54] has anybody got dvd playback of encrypted dvds to work in karmic [08:54] i haven't tried rythmbox, basically trying to get music on the damn thing. :P [08:54] hey guys, rather silly question... just looking at gnome-look.org, and it lists themes for gtk, metacity and compiz. I'm just wondering what's the difference between a gtk theme and a metacity theme? and again, between a gtk theme and a compiz theme, I guess visually...? [08:54] i had another called hipo ipod management, it didn't see it either [08:54] gtkpod would not see my nieces shuffle [08:54] macbook, go to medibuntu.org get libdvdcss2 [08:55] yeah baz i have that installed [08:55] still no dvd playback [08:55] will rythmbox allow me to put music on it? [08:55] Drunken_Irony, if it can recongnize it sure [08:55] ok [08:55] chu_: gtk theme is for style of the widgets, metacity is for the window borders, and compiz is for the animations [08:55] err recognize [08:55] macbook: not sure if it's needed but I always install libdvdread4 [08:55] macbook, use vls. :/ [08:55] Drunken_Irony: i've heard that it will...you can just sync it up...but getting it to recognize is the tricky part. [08:56] *vlc [08:56] um WHOA. i just installed ubuntu 9.10 on a 650gb hdd, 6gb of ram, in literally like 10 minutes, INCLUDING formatting the entire harddrive and full install?! is that possible? [08:56] lol fail <--- [08:56] infid: yes? [08:56] it says it's done and it looks done. it's loaded without the cd, but i just cant believe it. ive never seen anythin install that fast [08:56] infid, sure; install ubuntu-restricted-extras next [08:56] ardchoille i have that installed as well, still i get error occured when i try to play [08:56] infid: if you did it from usb drive or alike, absolutely [08:56] not only did i not know how to spell rhythm, i failed to realize it was already installed [08:56] SwedeMike: no i did it from a cd [08:57] macbook: Is that on every dvd or just a certain few? [08:57] infid: then that's very fast, your CD reader must be fast. [08:57] 40x [08:57] vista didnt install that fast tho [08:57] infid, it's not totally finish, you need to install more things afterwards. :) [08:57] yeah updates [08:57] or they did something with 9.10 which actually reads the whole cd into memory and then doesn't thrash it, because that's what slowing it down [08:57] but still man :) [08:58] ok one question is anybody using koala karmic and has fully use of dvd playback with menus [08:59] how can I check the ram in my laptop?? I have 4GB, but I want to know if it is 2x2GB or 1x4GB [08:59] macbook, all dvds? some of the newer ones may have some worse drm [08:59] macbook: afaik, mplayer doesn't support menus, but xine does [08:59] neezer, sudo lshw may do [09:00] bazhang: i can confirm it does that ;) [09:00] faileas, thanks :) [09:00] i can only read dvds that i make myself using windows vso [09:00] bazhang: i was gonna suggest it, but i wanted to check ;p [09:01] macbook: what do you use to play it? [09:01] thanks bazhang It is two different sticks. [09:01] should i run xine [09:01] macbook: you might need libdvdcss [09:01] macbook, you may consider handbrake or the like then [09:01] funny i have that installed too, i have everything installed [09:01] i just got the apple trailers working [09:01] neezer: I personally usually do sudo dmidecode, if you're not sure how to read its output feel free to pastebin it [09:01] macbook, there is a ppa for it [09:01] macbook: I use vlc for playing dbd's [09:02] macbook: vlc uses libdvdcss, which lets you play dvds ;) [09:02] i use vlc on everything else still no luck [09:02] could it be the hardware [09:02] ie rip to iso or container [09:03] totem movie player === EcKstasy is now known as JNSamuel [09:03] just one thing i would like to fix, if it works for everyone else then, maybe its somthing with my system [09:03] i have macbook 4.1 intel core 2 duo [09:04] doubtful its hardware [09:04] cool then it could be my setup, everything is working fine just no dvd plyabck grr [09:05] thanks ziroday: I have never seen that before, but I was able to figure it out. lots of stuff that I don't know, but it is definitely two separate sticks. [09:05] one question i like to use xdccing for xdcc and irc, i use to use mirc, what irc are you using [09:05] is anyone having some strange permission issues with the new kernel update? [09:05] for some reason root has globbed onto my mp3 dir [09:06] yeah i'm also trying to get hfs+ support to write to my osx partition i have 3boot system [09:06] rooooooooooooooot!!!

[09:20] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword mrx19869 [09:20] how do I access the wine c: drive from dosbox [09:21] om26er, that is hardly necessary [09:21] * om26er never knew if that was an option [09:21] Anyone have ideas why I can't get mysql-server-5.1 to install? [09:21] keeps failing [09:21] bazhang: i tired that step but when i press ESC i get the option to boot a HD [09:21] bazhang, what if someone took my netbook and changed its password? [09:23] bazhang: I always remove recovery mode from the boot options, any problem with that? Does it actually make anything more secure? [09:23] ziroday: the best server concept is amazing [09:23] ardchoille, not sure, never removed it [09:23] in dos box Z:\> where exactly is that in the filesystem? [09:24] ardchoille: how do you get back into boot options if you remove it, i think that is why i cant access my boot menu [09:24] ardchoille: physical access always means game over. [09:24] Hunt5: best server concept? [09:25] mrx19869: the only reason I do it is so that no one else can use recovery mode to change passwords [09:25] mrx19869, if it's grub2, I believe it was changed to hold shift at boot [09:25] ziroday: not if you have $HOME encrypted [09:25] ardchoille, ever hear of kon-boot? [09:25] APERSON: no [09:25] ardchoille: no it still means gameover. [09:26] hello [09:26] how do I access the filesystem from dosbox [09:26] I guess it means anyone could steal the hard drive, but.. [09:26] APERSON: when i press and hold shift the computer just boots up normally [09:26] is there a way to download a collection of all XPI PO files for Karmic? [09:27] is it possible to use a live cd to give yourself admin rights on a windows computer? [09:27] neezer: it is [09:27] rolo_: can dosbox read extX? [09:27] iceroot: not directly [09:27] ver, can you share how? [09:27] so it seems the only thing i can do is to download ubuntu netbook remix and put it on a USB thumbdrive and format and reinstall? [09:27] neezer: it depends on the version of windows [09:27] xp...pro i think. [09:28] neezer: it's easier to use a windows boot floppy/disc though [09:28] iceroot: what is that [09:28] does it overcharge a laptop to leave the ac adapter plugged in, even when the battery is fully charged? [09:28] neezer: since it comes with tools specifically for that [09:28] iceroot it says I have to use mount [09:28] I see.... [09:28] infid: if it doesn't have a BMS builtin, then it may. [09:28] I have a computer with a integrated intel graphic chipset. I bought a new AGP graphic card, a Geforce 6200. I successfully installed the nvidida 180 dirvers, and compiz is working well. But whenever I try to launch a 3D game in fullscreen mode (tux racer for example), I have a black screen :( . I tried supertux kart in windowed mode, it works. Does anybody knows what is wrong please ? [09:28] rolo_:sudo mount /dev/sdXX /mnt/myfilesystem [09:28] so it isn't just a matter of adding your username to a text file that says what the users with admin privelages are/ [09:29] rolo_: if it can read extX [09:29] Hello, I was wondering if anyone has worked with tsocks before? [09:29] t3hp00ky: i have, whats the question? [09:29] !anyone | t3hp00ky [09:29] t3hp00ky: 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? [09:29] t3hp00ky, yes [09:30] ardchoille: so it seems the only thing i can do is to download ubuntu netbook remix and put it on a USB thumbdrive and format and reinstall? [09:31] ver, I was was wondering if I was doing something wrong, I'm trying to run an application through tsocks and everytime it starts it crashes out with a /opt/local/libtsocks.dlib error [09:31] wait one while i get the actually error [09:31] t3hp00ky: are you using a 64-bit or 32-bit system, does the application use the same bitcount, and.. which program is it? [09:31] !paste | t3hp00ky [09:31] t3hp00ky: 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 [09:31] mrx19869: I've never used UNR [09:32] t3hp00ky: also, why aren't you using the ubuntu released tsocks? [09:33] ardchoille: ok thanks [09:33] nobody knows how to well configure a Geforce 6200 on ubuntu karmic please ? [09:33] I didn't know ubuntu had a tsocks release [09:34] bert__: try disabling compiz and try again [09:34] t3hp00ky: sure, apt-get install tsocks, or use synaptic [09:34] bert__: I have that card and the only thing I found that works is this: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-96 && sudo nvidia-xconfig [09:34] t3hp00ky: but the error itself would be useful [09:34] I have problem connecting to my ssh server. I think the ip has changed so that the keys aren't working anymore. How do I solve this? [09:34] ok [09:35] I will try with compiz disabled [09:35] Real_Ubot: one easy way would be to rm ~/.ssh/known_hosts [09:35] bert__: are you running compiz? [09:35] ardchoille, yes [09:35] let me try without [09:35] Real_Ubot: or simply edit the file and remove the line with the IP of your server in it [09:35] bert__: the nvidia gefore 5 and 6 series have a bug and you need to add a line into xorg.conf [09:36] okay [09:36] thanks [09:36] bert__: add this into Section "screen": Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True" [09:36] ardchoille, can you give the a link or whatever to do so plz ? [09:36] bert__: Then restart xorg [09:37] ver: I did try to replace my known_hosts file and then I got a fingerprint and authorization question trying to login. I answered yes but I still get Permission denied (publickey). === guinness is now known as alex_white [09:38] Real_Ubot: sounds messy, i've had a similar problem with my ssh installation recently [09:38] hi guys, n00b here. Can't figure out how to install files. Especially adobe flash. How do i install an apt file on 9.10. When i download it is says "firefox doesnt know how to open this address, because the protocol (apt) isn;t associated witrh any program [09:39] Real_Ubot: i had to do this on the server: dpkg -x /var/cache/apt/archives/openssh-server*deb / [09:39] !packages | Zhenya [09:39] Zhenya: You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !Adept, "apt-cache search ", or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu has about 20000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways! [09:40] Real_Ubot: then dpkg-reconfigure openssh-server [09:40] ardchoille: what does that mean? [09:40] !synaptic | Zhenya [09:40] Zhenya, are you using the amd64 bit or i386? [09:40] Zhenya: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto [09:40] i386 kubuntu [09:40] Zhenya: here is a helpful link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingSoftware [09:40] Zhenya: There's a good how to for you [09:40] then its cake. :) [09:40] thanks! [09:41] does kubuntu have the ubuntu software center? [09:41] installing flash is as easy as searching for it there [09:41] I'm getting rusty on the bot triggers, had to actually think which ones he needed [09:41] ziroday: is this the same on kubuntu? [09:42] Zhenya: yes [09:42] ver: Oh, do I have to do all that. Why is this happening? [09:42] Zhenya: if you're on kbuntu, you should also join #kubuntu [09:42] ziroday: is Kpackagekit ? [09:42] hello [09:42] anyone here use gpodder? [09:42] Zhenya: I believe so, ask in #kubuntu for more details [09:42] k thanks [09:43] so there is no way to reset my password if i cant access my GRUB or get to recovery mode [09:43] Real_Ubot: i have no idea, i'm not an openssh pro... but i AM i dpkg wizard. [09:44] Real_Ubot: i solve most problems with dpkg. one time my cat was stuck in a tree, so i apt-get purge'd the tree, and bam the cat plopped right down. [09:44] https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/openvpn.html has some wrong syntax in its commands [09:44] lol [09:45] hi [09:45] are there any know issues with the latest 9.10 updates? machine does come up any more :( [09:45] ver: Yeah, but I want to know what I'm doing. [09:45] webdawg: report a problem at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-docs [09:46] hi guys,can OpenOffice convert to PDF format?? === rsomalat is now known as rameez [09:47] yeah, you use the export function [09:48] Oyoz, of course. [09:48] anyone around that can help me with a simple bash script real quick? [09:49] zoink: What's up? [09:49] how can i download stuff from rapidshare/etc. using lynx? [09:49] ardchoille: i want to find out if a certain program is running, execute one command if it is, another if it's not [09:49] I would like to try ubuntu on my eeepc. However, I do like to have root account active on the system. I do not like sudoroot type of administration. Is that possible on Ubuntu? [09:50] anybody? :( [09:50] zoink: find app && command 1 || command 2 [09:50] ziroday: in software sources, from whih server we like to get our s/ws from, also has a best server option which selects best servers over the globe right? [09:50] that one i was telling i felt too good [09:50] winmike: not that i'm aware [09:50] can anyone pls tell me what is security update? [09:50] winmike: are you booting with grub? [09:50] how do u do it?? [09:50] zoink: I'm not sure which is the best way to "find app" though [09:50] sometimes he hangs at "checkicking battery state" - sometimes at console login - xorg starts - back to console - endless loop [09:51] ardchoille: yea, i want to know if it's running or not [09:51] winmike: oh, so it BOOTS, but ... doesn't run properly. [09:51] Oyoz, file>>export to pdf [09:51] can anyone pls tell me what is security update? [09:51] ver, he boots - but xorg doesnt come up any more. i have fresh install 9.10 - started once - installed updates - rebootet. i have done the fresh install twice - some every time [09:52] zoink: command 1 && command 2 || command 3 <- command 2 will run only if command 1 returns non zero status, otherwise command 3 runs [09:52] Real_Ubot: basically, it re-installs ssh-server like an apt-get purge, but without actually killing sshd while you do it. you could just as easily purge and reinstall it. === Sebbe is now known as Guest89483 [09:52] winmike: is it a notebook pc? [09:52] zoink: or you could use a if then else statement [09:53] ver, PC - latest virtual box [09:53] ardchoille: i know how to do the if statement, sorry...i'm more looking for how to tell whether or not a particular program is running [09:53] zoink: ah, ok, misunderstood you, sorry [09:53] thanx man [09:53] it worked [09:54] Oyoz, np :) [09:54] winmike: try booting it with the kernel option "noacpi" [09:54] ardchoille: actually i figured it out heh. [09:55] zoink: What did you come up with? [09:55] ardchoille: ps -ax | grep program-name | grep -v grep [09:55] that'll work :) [09:55] ver, ok - i try. but dont think it solves my xorg problem ;) [09:55] that just returs a string thouhg [09:55] ver: Well, I want to know why this happends, because I don't want to reinstalls ssh server every time my ip changes. [09:55] ardchoille: so, could i just say if that command returns null, then I excute one command, otherwise execute the other? [09:56] zoink: sure [09:56] Real_Ubot: well, by nature of ssh, you will have to reconfigure one or the other point every time... it keys on IP addresses... [09:57] zoink: possibly: test ps ax | grep appname | grep -v grep && command 1 || command 2 [09:57] ver: well, I don't understand why I have to do that. The meaning of using keys is to have a portable key that I can use at different laptops. === yacyac_ is now known as yacyac [09:58] Real_Ubot: well then i suggest you investigate why your sshd isn't working. stating it doesn't work will produce a blanket way of getting it going again. if you don't look at the logfile, i have to assume you don't care WHY its broken. [09:59] ardchoille: thanks. [09:59] zoink: I don't think that will work for you, disregard [09:59] hah ok [09:59] Real_Ubot: what are you talking about? [10:00] so i just loaded up the live session of 9.10 and i couldn't install anything. is that normal for a live session? === sloopy is now known as Guest35206 [10:01] webdawg: I'm talking about ssh server that stopped working after my computer wash shutdown abnonmally. Then I think my computers was assigned a new ip-address. So therefore the ssh connection ins't working. [10:01] nautilus crashes in 9.10. I can't get a desktop, and if I try starting it through a terminal, it says "Segmentation Fault" ... any suggestions would be helpful [10:01] That doesnt make sense [10:02] Real_Ubot: I think it should create a new key everytime the server gets a new address... [10:02] webdawg: i think his sshd on the server has strict client key checking on [10:02] webdawg: and his client ip changed to an ip which the sshd has under a different key [10:03] Thats a possibility. [10:03] webdawg: I use keys and have password on my key. Then I have disable ordinary password login. [10:03] zoink: I'm insterested in this too, let me know if you get it working [10:04] but "sudo nautilus" works fine ... as a normal user, it says "Segmentation fault" ... [10:04] Hey how come nautilus has messed up encoding for filenames [10:04] !gksudo | hrishikesh [10:04] hrishikesh: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [10:04] webdawg: When I try to login I get Permission denied (publickey). [10:04] neezer: You probably need to update your package cache. "sudo apt-get update" in the terminal, or the relevant button in Synaptic/whatever. [10:05] ardchoille: got that ... is there any workaround for this bug? [10:05] thanks rww I'll try that next time. [10:05] Is it recomend to use aptitude instead of apt if possible? [10:05] hrishikesh: I don't know [10:05] ardchoille: only thing i need to do is determine whether or not the ps -ax | grep program-name | grep -v grep command returns something or not....would i just say if ps -ax | grep program-name | grep -v grep == null then DO THIS else DO THIS fi ? [10:05] sabgenton: you mean apt-get instead of aptitude? [10:06] aptitude instead of apt-get === HoffmannMich is now known as Mich [10:06] sabgenton: they do essentially the same thing these days, use whichever you like [10:07] rww #debian disagrees [10:07] zoink: I can't get that to work here (Jaunty/bash) [10:07] ardchoille: hrm, i don't know what to use in place of "null" [10:08] i'm not sure what exactly it would be returning [10:08] i guess i have to check the exit status or something? [10:08] How can I password protect a workspace? [10:08] sabgenton: #debian is entitled to their opinion. apt-get works fine, and a tonne of people use it. aptitude also works fine (and is what I use), and somewhat fewer people use it. [10:09] rww: what is the difference between aptitude and apt-get/ [10:09] one more ... after i update my ubuntu 9.10, grub2 becomes messy after i installed burg. Now its back to the same state as it is in debian, the blue and black configuration .. any suggestions? [10:09] rww: does aptitude have better dependency tracking [10:09] RHYTHMBOX is possible to exclude some file formats (MIDI) from the automatically search [10:09] i need glib 2.4.0 or newer as source [10:10] debian says [10:10] aptitude has more advanced conflict/dependency resolution and will often be able to come up with a solution where apt-get just gives up. It has advanced search capabilities (see ). Like apt-get, it can also remove or purge one package at the same time as installing others all from the command line or at the Y/n/q/? prompt using its interactive resolver, making it much easier... [10:10] ...to recover from broken dependencies. [10:10] sabgenton: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:10] so, is there a way to download EVERY .po file on rosetta? [10:10] like, one big ol' tarball? [10:11] ver, is rosetta an open source program like rosetta stone? [10:11] neezer: rosetta is the ubuntu translation project [10:11] !rosetta [10:11] rosetta is a Web-based system for translating open source software into any language. See https://launchpad.net/rosetta [10:11] thanks ver. [10:11] I find it strange that debian says this and ubuntu doesn't acknowledge it? [10:11] is there a program like rosetta stone that is open source? [10:12] zoink: try this in a terminal: pgrep -x appname && echo "running" || echo "not running" [10:12] hi [10:12] sabgenton: i think that would be because ubuntu focuses on synaptic and such [10:12] sabgenton: two large differences between Debian and Ubuntu: 1) Ubuntu has update-manager and do-release-upgrade for upgrades, and you shouldn't use apt-get or aptitude for them. 2) lots of Debian users use Debian Testing or Unstable, which has broken packages sometimes. Ubuntu users should not use development versions of Ubuntu, and thus wouldn't encounter this. [10:12] I'm moving to germany in 6 months and would like to have some knowledge of the language above my 6 weeks from junior high. === cory is now known as Guest38373 [10:13] rww: does what u say apply for ubuntu server aswell? [10:13] neezer: just learn esperanto, everybody in the world speaks it.. j/k. [10:13] esperanto??? what is that? [10:13] ardchoille: pgrep? [10:13] zoink: yes [10:13] zoink: man pgrep [10:13] ardchoille: command not found [10:14] zoink: spelling? [10:14] ardchoille: i'm running OS X O_o [10:14] zoink: Which distro are you running? [10:14] sabgenton: sure, assuming you're using a released/supported version of Ubuntu Server. It's just Ubuntu with different default packages installed. [10:14] I can get by with spanish...5 years worth..it takes a few days to get used to it when i go to mexico, but i go twice a year for 10 days or so. [10:14] neezer: "Cxu estas Esperanton?" <- esperanto [10:14] using 9.04 and cant change the gateway setting in manual network setup, do I need to use sudo something from terminal ? Im trying to share an internet connection on a windows box [10:14] zoink: don't aks for OSX support here [10:14] neezer: it has nothing to do with spanish... [10:14] ardchoille: i'm not, just asking for bash scripting help >.< [10:14] ver: I have no idea what you are talkign about. [10:15] neezer: me either [10:15] zoink: those are two completely different systems, as you have seen [10:16] rww: I see very intersting [10:16] hi [10:16] hey guys, my openoffice is acting up [10:16] hi! I have a problem with /usr/sbin/atd. It went into state D (uninterruptible sleep) and doesn't respond to kill -9 PID or the init-scripts. How can I kill it? [10:16] ardchoille: le sigh, bash scripting is bash scripting...i don't happen to have the command pgrep, but will still be able to accomplish what i'm trying to accomplish...i just don't know enough to do it yet [10:17] rww:should I still do apt-get update and dist-upgrade or is that what update-manager and do-release-upgrade are for? [10:17] zoink: This channel is not the place to ask for help with bash scripting on OSX [10:17] dist-upgrade anyway [10:17] there is a message poping that office is not responding.force the application to quit [10:17] so my computer just spontaneously shut down....any way I can find out why? [10:17] what can i do?? [10:18] :( [10:18] sabgenton: to install updates to the version of Ubuntu you're currently using, you'd do apt-get update then apt-get upgrade (or aptitude update, then aptitude upgrade or aptitude safe-upgrade). To upgrade from one version of Ubuntu to another (say, Jaunty 9.04 to Karmic 9.10), you'd use do-release-upgrade or update-manager. [10:18] ubottu: upgrade | sabgenton [10:18] sabgenton: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [10:19] ah see [10:19] sabgenton: The Debian way of upgrading from one version to another -- changing sources.list and doing dist-upgrade -- is not supported in Ubuntu. [10:19] version hopping [10:19] rww is dist-upgrade not right? :/ [10:20] u said "upgrade" I knoticed [10:20] sabgenton: assuming you don't touch your sources.list file, upgrade and dist-upgrade would do the same thing. [10:20] my ubuntu installation suddenly doesn't want to run anything [10:20] whenever I try and run something in my already open terminal it says "Killed" [10:21] can'topen any apps, or shutdown, or anything [10:21] Hi! [10:21] anyone know wtf Killed is [10:21] rww: sorry so if i ever add a repo I must not use dist-upgrade ? only 'upgrade' [10:21] How can I password protect a workspace? [10:22] does anyone here know how to use rename to remove all periods in a file-name except for the last one? (i.e., file.name.this.pdf => file name this.pdf) [10:22] killed is "closing" a program/process [10:23] two days of Ubuntu and not going back [10:24] good morning [10:24] sabgenton: apt-get upgrade, aptitude upgrade, and aptitude safe-upgrade will not remove installed packages unless they're no longer used. apt-get dist-upgrade, aptitude dist-upgrade, and aptitude full-upgrade will install and remove packages as necessary to upgrade all installed packages. In other words, dist-upgrade/full-upgrade does the same sort of thing as upgrade/safe-upgrade, but is less conservative and cautious. Theoretically, you wouldn't ever [10:24] shiman: no, killing in "killall process" [10:24] ops === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz [10:24] sabgenton: ... need to use it, or notice the difference.

[10:28] i am wondering whether the class wx.Menu has a SetBitmap method ?? [10:28] I am writting a shell script to upgrade ALSA on Ubuntu, I don't know much bash, so I decided to check here before posting it, http://dpaste.com/142820/ [10:28] sabgenton, rww: With apt-get: dist-upgrade will bring in new dependencies to satisfy the requirements of the new versions of your currently installed software. upgrade won't. (This generally only happens with kernels, linux-image-generic depends on linux-image-*.1-generic, and then next update it depends on linux-image-*.2-generic, which is a new package, so you need to use dist-upgrade (or you'll see your kernel held back) [10:30] sex [10:30] im trying to give permissions to my usb port in /dev/bus/usb/003/002 using chmod 666....it works fine for one session, but gets reset after reboot..tried adding to the rc.local file, but no difference..any help to make it permanent?

[10:35] hmm...I'm trying to boot from the ubuntu cd, but I'm unable to change the boot order [10:35] (or at least put my name on it) [10:36] I can get into the bios and see it, but when I press + or -, I can only shift the list instead of change its order [10:36] anyone need a google wave invite? [10:36] i have many [10:36] yorick: check your BIOS, or sometimes you can press F12 to choose what to boot from. [10:36] zamboli: This is not the place for that [10:36] Darkedge: how do you mean? [10:36] !ot | zamboli [10:36] zamboli: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [10:36] very well [10:37] yorick: enter into your BIOS, you should be able to change the boot order there. [10:37] hi how do i convect source code that has a makefile so that it can be built and debugged in code blocks? [10:37] Darkedge: yes, but I can only shift the list [10:38] yorick: you can only shift the list? hrm? [10:38] instead of change its order...when I put CD/DVD on 1st, it automatically puts network boot on the 2nd place [10:38] and the HDD boot on the 3rd [10:39] while I'd prefer to have it 1.CD/DVD 2.HDD 3.network, but that option is unavailable [10:40] yorick: im confused. [10:40] well so am I [10:40] convert *** [10:40] default is 1.HDD 2.CD/DVD 3.network [10:40] I am using mp3c to rip a CD.. but its creating .ogg files :( does anyone know how to get it to do mp3 (lame is installed) [10:40] I like to install magicq. the program requires a graphik path... error: Graphics not found. Check path [10:40] by pressing +, I get 1.network 2.HDD 3.CD/DVD [10:40] What's the command to check file hashes for an installed package to see if any of its installed files have been changed? It eludes me. [10:40] and by pressing + again, I get 1.CD/DVD 2.network 3.HDD [10:40] it's just cycling like that [10:41] any idee what this graphic path could be in a linux environment? [10:42] Answering myself: debsums. [10:42] there is an output about XDefaultVisual: [10:43] salut [10:43] how do i findout that x files is used in how many file or that has link to x file [10:44] hi..I seem to have duplicate samba share entries in nautilus, but everything was ok in Jaunty. I've checked fstab, which is fine. Could anyone perhaps explain duplicate entries? [10:44] sporedi_: could you explain that again please [10:44] oh well, I can get CD on 1 temporarily and change it later [10:44] im trying to give permissions to my usb port in /dev/bus/usb/003/002 using chmod 666....it works fine for one session, but gets reset after reboot..tried adding to the rc.local file, but no difference..any help to make it permanent? [10:44] mikebeecham: mtab is where current mounts are recorded [10:45] ok say i have 1 files that is used in many config files ,i want to see that x file is used in which all localtion or in files [10:45] who can help me with bash and arrays ? [10:45] bain: #bash maybe the beset place [10:45] ikonia: I have only one set of shares set up there? [10:45] how can I install madwifi manualy? [10:45] mikebeecham: sounds like nautilus is having a problem, does "mount" show it ? [10:46] I have atheros5007EG [10:46] sporedi_: one file that is used in many config files ??? that doesn't make sense [10:46] sporedi_: can you give me a real life example pelase [10:46] please [10:46] ok [10:46] ikonia: again, only one set [10:46] How can I password protect a workspace? [10:46] would pastebin my mtab help? [10:46] (or at least put my name on it) [10:46] mikebeecham: looks like a nautlius bug, if you reboot and remount does it still show two or just one ? [10:47] say ebtables is script where it is used ? [10:47] mikebeecham: nah, if you say there is only one in mtab I believe you [10:47] two...this has been going on for a couple of months now, I'm only just getting round to dealing with it [10:47] sporedi_: you can't search like that [10:47] ikonia: if there were real people there yes :P [10:47] ok [10:47] mikebeecham: I'd log a bug for that then if it's persistant [10:47] bain: there are, I promise, good help available in there [10:47] ok ikonia...thanks [10:48] mikebeecham: sounds like a genuine bug so worth letting someone take a look (make sure you paste your fstab, mtab in the bug report and if possible take a screen shot) [10:48] ikonia...one last thing, if I mtab holds the current shares, should I have them listed in fstab as well? [10:49] i am using 1 utm ,and i want to understand ubuntu used which port and mirror to do its software updates [10:49] mikebeecham: no, fstab tell the machine what to mount, mtab shows what is mounted [10:49] sporedi_: utm ? [10:49] pls wait [10:50] hmm next problem: wireless [10:50] it just isn't detecting it [10:50] ikonia: ahhh ok [10:50] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_threat_management [10:51] sporedi_: so what is your actual question ? [10:52] hi.. i got a problem: I just recently installed Ubuntu on my X:, but now almost everytime I try to do something in win7, it tells me my C: is damaged and I should run CHKDSK. For example, he says skype.exe - Hard drive defunct. [10:52] he just said Kvirc.exe - har drive defunct [10:52] which port and which server are used so i have to configure it for ubuntu software updates [10:53] sporedi_: the servers are listed in your sources.list file, and it's port 80 [10:53] Oh, and ubuntu itself works just fine [10:53] is there any web page where i can find all server and ports [10:53] oo its port 80 ? [10:53] ok [10:53] sporedi_: yes, and the servers you need are in your /etc/apt/sources.list file [10:53] sporedi_: If you're connecting via http, yes. [10:53] ok [10:54] thanks [10:54] ikonia: can i send u pm [10:54] sporedi_: if you must [10:55] ?? [10:56] rww: Just one more question if I did want to track dependencys (and I suppose do unsupported things) would I not be best to stick to either apt or aptitude not both as don't they store there there dependency lists separately? [10:56] sabgenton: I don't know. If they do, yes. [10:57] k :) [10:57] so hy again [10:57] hello [10:57] they do :) [10:57] sabgenton: aptitude and apt-get both use APT [10:57] i want to install madwifi and i`m new [10:58] adiT9: sometimes ath 5k is better dependiing on you card [10:58] I`v downloaded the driver but i don-t know how to install it [10:58] ardchoille: wrong [10:58] atheros 5007EG [10:58] with what command do I start the Terminal in Ubuntu? i want to make a Custom Application Launcher on the panel [10:58] terlop: gnome-terminal [10:58] thanks [10:58] server irc.ogamenet.net [10:59] adiT9: I wouldn't know about your card of hand but just try ath5k first [10:59] ok [10:59] should just work in modern ubuntu anyway === satan is now known as Guest72551 [11:00] sabgenton: apt-get and aptitude are both using dpkg and his database [11:00] sabgeton: ath5 work now on my wireless but it says i have atheros 5001 [11:01] I don`t know if if it`s installed corect [11:01] Hi, what software is mostly used for sip?

[11:09] How can I password protect a workspace? [11:10] Hunt1: aptitude remove ; aptitude install - or just dpkg-reconfigure ? [11:10] Halvor: what workspace? === satan is now known as Guest94651 [11:11] i dont know the exact package name [11:11] apt-cache search gst* [11:11] doesnt give me anything [11:11] Hmm i installed telepathy-sofiasip but sip isnt showing up in empathy [11:11] hunt1: aptitude search gstreamer |grep ^i - lists all installed packages contaging gstreamer [11:11] nibbler: Well, in Ubuntu I can have different workspaces. There's a utility called Workspace Switcher in the bottom right of my screen. [11:11] grr, utf8 input in konversation is all glitchy ;/ [11:12] Halvor: ah, you cannot protect there, login as a different user at the same time, this can be protected [11:12] i've got a new ubuntu netbook installed and running on my tv over hdmi but I can't see the edges of the screen [11:12] it must be overscan or something [11:12] been googling but not been able to fix it yet [11:12] any ideas? [11:13] what is the sip protocol in empathy called? [11:13] fluxdude: select another resolution, maybe with xradr? [11:13] nibbler: OK... could one workspace then be dedicated to one user? [11:13] craig_: no, but you can switch to other users [11:13] sorry, Halvor :) [11:14] sure [11:15] Halvor: but these workspaces are just different screens of one desktop, this would be like password-protecting the right side of your screen.... [11:15] switching resolutions doesn't seem to help at all [11:15] I watched a tutorial video for 7.04 where it showed how I could put labels on the different workspace shown in the bottom right tray. I can't find this option in 8.04. Do you know how to do that? [11:15] it even makes it worse to use lower resolutions or higher [11:15] Hello, can any one help me? I've just tried to install Ubuntu Netbook remix on a Acer Aspire one and now it's not loading grub 2 and cannot find the operating system to load (it's gone into grub safe) a black screen. [11:15] i lose even more off the screen [11:15] while dpkg-reconfigure, how can i check for the options related to that pkg?? [11:16] nibbler: ^^ [11:16] craig_: thats not good, you have dualboot, or full linux install? [11:16] Halvor: no idea [11:16] ok [11:16] I wanted dualboot [11:17] But I do not have a recovery disc or anything to restore it back to it's current state [11:17] craig_: you remember if you installed grub to the mbr (master boot record)? [11:17] Hi all. Is there a way to look for specific text in multiple pdf files in linux? [11:17] sdf23: you can always try a: grep "special text" -i *pdf [11:17] Well I installed Ubuntu Netbook Remix on a different partition to windows. [11:18] craig_: of course... ok... so you are in the grub screen right now? === bigos is now known as big-os [11:18] i am using ubuntu server and same system i was using windows 2003 server @home but due to some reson i have to reinstall windows server where i lost my ubuntu /grub now how do i reinstall it ,i tryed to reinstall with rescue mode but it fail may be i am making some mistake can some one pls tell me what to do [11:18] The data should still remain it's just that it's gone into grub2 safe. [11:18] Not yet [11:19] But I can be if you have any ideas on how I can restore it. If so it would be much appreciated since I've got no clue I have tried as much as I can to fix by myself [11:19] can anyone tell me what is this? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m68bd9a69 [11:19] http://www.lostworlds.lv/go.php?1139723800 [11:19] I'll brb nibbler [11:19] can anyone tell me what is this? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m68bd9a69 [11:20] Hunt1: "aptitude: unrecognized option '--enable-gpl'" [11:20] craig_: boot the cd into rescue modus and setup grub again [11:20] !grub [11:20] grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [11:20] how do i need to give enable-gpl in that then? [11:21] how can I try find out what sound card I have ? aplay -l says no soundcards found, lcpci doesn't list anything 'audio' [11:21] Hunt1: why do you want to? [11:21] Hunt1, why would you do that [11:21] Okay I'm back [11:21] Hunt1: you dont need to enable gpl.... [11:22] craig_: see the line of ubottu to fixing grub [11:22] gstreamer developers told me i have to dot that [11:22] as my x264 encoder is not working [11:22] It's saying this Grub Loading. No partition grub rescue [11:22] Okay [11:22] craig_: boot the install media of ubuntu for the rescue attempts! and check the grub urls ubottu pasted here [11:22] and further information: i installed ubuntu 9.10 cli on p2 400mhz 128mb ram from -98 [11:22] Hunt1: you need to run that when running configure, not in aptitude (probably) [11:22] Hunt1, did they say you must do that in Ubuntu or did they talk about manual compiling [11:22] new web broswer game - http://www.lostworlds.lv/go.php?1139723800 [11:23] heh, a quick ban [11:24] Matic`Makovec: they dint tell me partiular abt ubuntu [11:24] The problem is that I have a problem with the CD external drive and it's having to go back to repair nibbler. === JosefAssad is now known as Guest85475 [11:24] where do i see the configure? [11:24] Is there any other way of doing this without using a CD? [11:24] i wonder what trigged the bot(?) to ban [11:24] Hunt1: that's when compiling the sources [11:24] Hunt1, I'd bet they were talking about manual compiling [11:24] moin [11:25] I have installed mediawiki by hand in ~/public_html/ and I get the front page. However, clicking any other pages gives me blank pages. Nothing in the error.log [11:25] what is that manual compiling? what is the way i am doing it now?? [11:25] That is why it's a big issue because I cannot boot anything from a cd to restore grub [11:25] (it did this too when I aptitude'd mediawiki incidentally) [11:25] Hunt1: not with aptitude. download the sourcecode, but thats not *that* easy - also not *that* complicated. check the projects webpage [11:25] I've got php.ini set to show me php errors already, and also upped the memory to 32M [11:25] Hunt1: and basically you dont want to do this. [11:25] any clues? [11:26] Anyone know what else I could do? [11:26] craig_: make a boot-usb stick [11:26] nibbler: that's defenitly not easy, i messed my sys once, cant dare to mess up once again [11:26] project webpage?? [11:26] !compiling | Hunt1 see this info on compiling (probably not what you want) [11:26] Hunt1 see this info on compiling (probably not what you want): Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [11:26] I have not got a USB stick nibbler. [11:26] Any other way? [11:27] nibbler: what happens if s/w packages already present, but i install them manually again/ [11:27] this way i made my gstreamer not to work once [11:27] craig_: that makes things more complicated. you can do it all from within the grub-shell, but it wont be easy. press "e" on the first line which you want to boot, and copy all info to a nopaste service [11:27] Okay [11:27] how do i make a logitech webcam run on my linux system buntu 9.04 [11:27] Hunt1: its a bit complicated to explain that all here.... [11:28] is there any doc? [11:28] so that i can read and ask if i get any specific questions? [11:28] karen: "logitech webcam" is not a precise product description, but use "sudo lsusb" and look for the usb id of it, that would be a precise product description then :) === jajjax is now known as jajjax|frukost [11:28] Hunt1: for what? [11:28] Hunt1: hmm well, the manpage of grub most likely. did you check on ubottus links? [11:28] Hunt1: basically you're lacking a lot of information, so much it's hard to know where to start. You need to read some "unix/linux for dummies"-like books so you understand things like compiling programs, install, how to make packages, etc. [11:28] nibbler: but i must learn that, because i dint know how my s/w stopped worked..it was a terrible experience for me [11:28] Guest85475: iirc, initial install will give an "install page", where you can specify msql db, locations etc [11:28] It's coming up as unknown command [11:29] Grub Loading, Error: no such partition, grub rescue> === saxasm[CCC] is now known as saxasm [11:29] craig_: this is all the output you ever see from grub?

Installed fine, getting the Main_Page just fine. But I get blank pages for say if I click edit or discussion on Main_Page [11:30] That is corrent nibbler [11:30] correct* [11:30] craig: if you press tab-key you see a list of available commands? [11:30] Is there any other way that through this interface I can recover grub or change it to the correct partition to load? [11:31] Without using a CD [11:31] Or a USB stick [11:31] Guest85475: since that's most likely not an ubuntu issue, you could as well ask in #mediawiki [11:31] craig_: using any other mean of booting..... if you cant boot anything else, this is what you have [11:31] I pressed the tab key [11:31] And it's not doing anything [11:32] craig_: ok - its just i dont know the rescue console of grub.... [11:32] Do you know who does because it's really important I get this netbook back up and running again? [11:32] oCean_: Well. Given that it also happens with what aptitude install mediawiki creates, I'd say it was an ubuntu issue. [11:32] anyhow. === obiwan__ is now known as obiwan_ [11:33] Guest85475: I only remember a successful install on 9.04, have not tried on 9.10 yet [11:33] craig_: check http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8611597#post8611597 [11:34] Thank you Nibbler [11:34] craig_: and in general, if you have a precise error message (like your grub promt) this is a good thing to google for [11:34] Yeah, I did google the error before coming on here actually mate but none of the commands to restore worked. [11:35] Thanks for your help it's much appreciated. I'll go over to the forums and see what they suggest === grindhold_ is now known as grindhold [11:36] craig_: ok, good luck then to you... [11:36] alright, maybe I edited the wrong php.ini to boost memory limit... Is /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini the right one to change 16M to 32M? [11:36] Thanks, I'll need the luck [11:37] Guest85475: restartet apache after that? [11:37] Hi I am planning to install ubuntu on a Athlon 64 machine. I tried the live cds of i386 and x64 so far. On the x64 I couldn't use flash. Does somebody know if it is possible to use falsh on the x64 ubuntu version at all? [11:37] iceroot: yep [11:38] JottBe: flash is working fine here in amd64 [11:38] Guest85475: yes it is the right file [11:38] iceroot: great! did you have to install it manually? [11:38] I broke X with a recent update (lucid), can anyone tell me how to list recently updated packages to nail it down? (Google fails me) [11:38] iceroot: alright. Well, that didn't work either. [11:39] JottBe: no i was using the 32bit version with sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [11:39] foolip, #ubuntu+1 for lucid [11:39] Guest85475: how do you check? phpinfo()? [11:39] bazhang: thanks [11:40] iceroot: did you have to configure something for apt-get before? [11:40] JottBe: no [11:40] iceroot: Em. Actually, all I do is call up the mediawiki Main_Page (works) and then try clicking on Edit (doesn't work, blank page) [11:40] hi [11:40] JottBe: flashplugin-nonfree contains a wrapper for the 32bit flash plugin [11:40] I am serching information on howto make my MIDI device work [11:40] Guest85475: and the error is? /var/log/apache2/error.log [11:41] iceroot: would I need to install fedora also in a 32bit version in order to use it? [11:41] JottBe: fedora? [11:41] JottBe: this is ubuntu-support [11:41] iceroot: sorry i meant firefox :) [11:41] iceroot: in error.log, nothing actually. I get this for the edit call: ::1 - - [09/Jan/2010:12:37:26 +0100] "GET /~josef/mediawiki/index.php?title=Talk:Main_Page&action=edit&redlink=1 HTTP/1.1" 200 286 "http://localhost/~josef/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.1.7) Gecko/20100106 Ubuntu/9.10 (karmic) Firefox/3.5.7" [11:41] iceroot: from access.log [11:41] JottBe: just use apt-get it is fetching the correct version for you sudo apt-get install firefox [11:42] Guest85475: and why do you think you have to increase the memsize for a php-thread?

I just created that [11:43] Guest85475: hm, if there is nothing in error.log i cant help maybe use firebug to detec the error why firefox cant load the page [11:44] I honestly don't know what to look for. I just want a mediawiki for my notes [11:44] Which permissions are needed to run mkdir for an user? "could't mkdir /home/David/.kde/etc/favicon." [11:44] Guest85475: i said phpinfo because you said the 32mb change didnt take affect [11:44] iceroot: well, if error.log is empty I'm thinking it's likely to be php. But I'll plod on. Thanks for trying. [11:44] Guest85475: php is also writing to the apachelog [11:44] How can you specify execute-bit by root only for an user David? [11:45] canale per italiani?

[11:45] heoa: dont work as root [11:45] oCean_: if editing Main_Page works for you, then I guess I must have b0rked sometihng. [11:45] heoa: also by default mkdir can just create one foolder at time [11:46] Guest85475: you edited the correct php.ini? (/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini) and reloaded apache? [11:46] heoa: there was an option so that mkdir can create more then one directory at once [11:46] oCean_: yep and yep [11:47] oCean_: No big deal. It isn't worth this much time to get mediawiki working, I'll just stick to org-mode for now. Thanks! [11:48] Ok I have another question: I installed Ubuntu on a USB stick (not the live cd, but really as if the stick was a partition). The result was, that ubuntu installed a bootloader on my harddrive and overwrote the existing one. No I can't boot from my hd anymore. This would not be such a big trouble, because it contains an old feodra installation which I plan to replace by ubuntu, but now the strang thing is, that if I boot from an ubuntu install [11:48] cd, and I jump in the manual partition tool (in the install cd) it does not display my hard drive partitions anymore and I can't select them. In fact it doesnt display anything there. But if I start the live version of ubuntu on that machine I can access the hd partitions so it is not a hardwar problem. Does anybody have an Idea how I can get Ubuntu on that machine? [11:48] Guest85475: ah, well :) === jajjax|frukost is now known as jajjax [11:50] I have a printer shared and enable and set up to print from LAN but now not working i have tried restarting cups to no avail local printing working ok [11:51] oCean_: oddly, the apt-gotten mediawiki works now. :) Go figure [11:52] thanks again oCean_ and iceroot [11:52] Guest85475: hm? As where the aptitude installed mw failed? [11:53] oCean_: Early on, I had the same problem with an aptitude'd mediawiki. Then I tried with ~/public_html/ same problem. Now I tried with the stock ubuntu one, and that works now. Must have been the php memory limit [11:53] oCean_: sorry, I use apt-get and aptitude interchangeably to refer to software gotten from repos, not hand-installed [11:53] iceroot: do you have an Idea how I can get ubuntu on my system now? [11:53] Guest85475: probably. Anyway: success!

[11:54] JottBe: or use a usb stick [11:54] !usb | JottBe [11:54] JottBe: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent === d is now known as Guest3359 === Guest3359 is now known as test === test is now known as guest391847 [11:56] iceroot: now thats not the problem, the problem is, that the installer doesn't list the partitions and I want to install it from cd. I already successfully installed ubuntu on my second machine useing usb, but on my other machine I cant select any partition on my harddrive no matter if I boot the instsall image from cd or from usb stick [11:57] JottBe: using raid? or maybe newer sata controller? [11:57] Again, thanks for your help Nibbler. I have posted a message on Ubuntu's forum [11:57] 𐑣𐑱 𐑪𐑤 [11:57] Bye. :) [11:57] can someone get root access without password ? [11:57] I mean on ubuntu ? [11:57] iceroot: I guess that is because ubuntu already installed the bootloader on harddrive and it now points to the usbe stick [11:57] silv3r_m00n: i thinkt there is a way to boot in single user mode [11:57] silv3r_m00n: for what you need that? [11:57] silv3r_m00n: yes, why are you asking? [11:57] silv3r_m00n, sure, by booting from a USB linux, chrooting, and passwd'ing [11:57] how to password protect the system such that no one can break in ? [11:58] iceroot: it is a newer controller but i only have one drive in that machine [11:58] iceroot: sata for sure [11:58] is there any such way ? [11:58] silv3r_m00n, the easiest way would be to encrypt your filesystem [11:58] ver : won't that slow the system ? [11:58] I do not have Xauthority file in my home folder, although the ubuntu manpages say that I should have one. I do not have it even on a clean ubuntu install. How to create a valid and working one please? [11:58] silv3r_m00n, boy howdy will it ever. [11:58] JottBe: so the installer is not detecting a harddrive which it can be installed to? [11:58] silv3r_m00n: use the alternate install cd and setup an encrypted / (encrypted everyting else, too) [11:59] ver : since it will have to encrypt and decrypt all the time reading from the disc ? [11:59] silv3r_m00n, yep. [11:59] Hello Evryone [11:59] iceroot: yes it looks like this. [11:59] silv3r_m00n: and yes, it slows down. but security is always a tradeoff [11:59] JottBe: so the kernel doesnt have drivers for your sata maybe [11:59] ver : can I create a separate partition small in size just for this purpose? [11:59] silv3r_m00n, sure you can [11:59] I have a little problem what I need to resolve in two days otherwise is too late [11:59] iceroot: but strangly It also doesn't list the usb stick, even if I start from cd [11:59] is that a good idea /way to store important/confidential docs ? [12:00] or is there a better way [12:00] JottBe: hm [12:00] silv3r_m00n: in my experience after using encryption for two+ years, encryption doesn't slow the system down a considerable amount if you've got a modern system [12:00] silv3r_m00n, there is an easier way, sure === enzotib_ is now known as enzotib [12:00] Can somebody help me to sort it out it is related to wireless lan [12:00] silv3r_m00n: but with this small partition you wont be safe. consider swapspace, command historys, /tmp /var/* [12:00] nibbler: means ? [12:00] I shall encrypt the file system of this small partition [12:01] won't be safe ? [12:01] iceroot: but wouldn't it be possible to load the live image then? I can start it and even if I click on the install icon on the live ubuntu I cant select anything [12:01] silv3r_m00n: you have confidential data on a partition, you load it, some gets swapped out to unecrypted swap, and this is an attack vector then [12:01] oh , that much will be fine [12:01] you're hiding porn aren't you? [12:01] :p [12:01] pacsyka: just state your issue/question here in the channel. Also mention the steps you've taken so far. Try to keep the description in one single line, that'll make it easier to follow [12:01] it's okay, you can tell us.. [12:01] ver: no , its company docs [12:02] now I need to , since I shall be hiring staff [12:02] How do i grab owner rights to my usr directory and its subfolders for a moment === Guest85475 is now known as JosefAssad [12:02] iceroot: but if I start the live cd I can mount any partition on the harddrive (as /dev/sdaXY => so its not mounted as raid, right?) [12:02] so in ubunut how to go about it [12:02] which tool to use [12:02] anyone know parametres I could pass to links2 to start it in so that the bookmarks list is on screen [12:02] silv3r_m00n, well, there's a gnome tray application which uses a file and mounts the file as a disc image that all apps can use LIKE a hard disc, but the file itself stays encrypted. [12:02] <_Lau_> hallo [12:02] silv3r_m00n, check it out: cryptkeeper [12:02] !cryptkeeper [12:03] meh, i thought not. [12:04] and what if I forget the password of that encrypted drive ? [12:04] Evito: you can use "sudo" to execute commands which require root privileges [12:04] without using terminal [12:05] Hello Everyone, [12:05] silv3r_m00n, then i think you'd be boned. [12:05] not that i have problem with terminal but there is a few tasks i'd rather do by mouse than individually per file on terminal, it just isnt useful to me if i spend 4 hours on a computer hassling with a few files [12:05] ver : no probs [12:05] silv3r_m00n, but that is something of the point of robust security [12:06] You could pay a few hundred dollars for a decryption company but if your encryption is any good it'll take a year or two :) [12:06] does this show as an "o" to you: 𐑴 [12:06] ver : by the way its good idea to hide porn there [12:06] ver: no [12:06] Evito: make that 50 years or 100 [12:06] Evito, what does it display as? [12:07] nibbler: im not talking about triple encoded encryption with serpent here, use time encryption cant be that slow on most uses [12:07] iceroot: I think that when I ran the installer of ubuntu the first time (before I installed on the usb stick) the partitions were selectable in the partitioning tool [12:07] its symbol 010474 [12:07] silv3r_m00n, the only porn i have on my PC are a couple racy wallpapers.. [12:07] will it be fine to encrypt a partition of 100gb ? [12:08] i fail to see the point of hiding things on my computer, keep it secure [12:08] Evito: well, you can use "gksudo" to start graphical applications [12:08] I have a 1TB hard disk......what size of partitions/and how many shud I create ? [12:08] gksudo, thanks oCean [12:08] silv3r_m00n, however much you need [12:09] and like can I un-encrypt it later ? [12:09] encryption isn't scrambling :p if you have the password, sure [12:09] silv3r_m00n: see also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory for more info [12:10] fine [12:11] I do not have Xauthority file in my home folder, although the ubuntu manpages say that I should have one. I do not have it even on a clean ubuntu install. How to create a valid and working one please? [12:11] oCean_: data can be retrieved from that ? [12:11] without the password [12:12] theTroy, an .Xauthority is binary [12:12] is it posible to share an internet connection from a windohs machine ? [12:13] theTroy, .Xauthority files are generated with the xauth utility, read up on that. [12:13] ver how do I get one of those then? I thought every user is supposed to have one [12:13] I deleted /dev/null how can i re-create it? [12:13] ver hmm thanks! [12:13] theTroy, if you don't have one, then your X server will use default X authorization rules. [12:13] and since the defaults are the default, the file defaults to not existing𐑠) [12:13] :) [12:15] cant get my usb modem to work in 9.04 but I can share files in from a windows box , is it posible to share the internet connection from the windohs machine ? [12:16] how can I create the /dev/null special file [12:17] mkanyicy: is it gone? [12:18] Hello Everyone, I bought a new laptop and I can not enable my wireless card can somebdy help me please http://paste.ubuntu.com/353906/ [12:18] mkanyicy: create character device using "mknod" [12:18] !Bluetooth [12:18] For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [12:19] mkanyicy: see "man null" for instructions to re-create the null and/or zero device [12:20] is there a partition tool which can show all partitions on the harddisk ? [12:20] silv3r_m00n: "sudo fdisk -l" [12:20] didn't work [12:20] Hey [12:20] ok , worked [12:20] any gui ? [12:20] silv3r_m00n: :) [12:21] silv3r_m00n: gparted [12:21] Right, so, can I install Ubuntu Server 9.10 from the console? [12:21] !info gparted | silv3r_m00n [12:21] silv3r_m00n: gparted (source: gparted): GNOME partition editor. In component main, is optional. Version 0.4.5-2ubuntu1 (karmic), package size 440 kB, installed size 3704 kB [12:21] Not the text installer, the CLI console [12:21] pacsyka: try to disable and reenable it in the bios if you are sure its not the hw switch? [12:21] thanks [12:22] acicula: I have no way to manipulate in bios. [12:22] acicula: I also tried to remove and install again iwlagn but nothig happend [12:22] oCean_, I deleted it using sudo just to see if I can delete it [12:22] gksu fdisk -l doesn't work but sudo fdisk -l works .......why ? [12:23] Ubuntu 8.01 seems to see it enabled but I never managed to use it (connect to anw wlan ntwork) [12:23] mkanyicy: and you could! :) "man null" shows how to create it again using "mknod" command [12:24] How can I change $HOME to /home/user/blah? [12:24] heoa: "export HOME=/home/user/blah" [12:24] heoa: permanently in /etc/passwd, temporarely with export HOME=/home/user/blah? [12:24] acicula: I asked from the producer and they told there is not way manipulate wlan only by function buttons [12:24] gparted is show the partition size but not the used and unused values .....(ntfs partitions) [12:24] oCean_, thanks I will read the "man mknod" can you tell me what "ls -l /dev/null" is giving you? [12:24] oCean_, thanks again null, let me go to terminal right now [12:25] oCean_, it worked! thank you very much! [12:25] pacsyka: could be those only work in windows [12:25] silv3r_m00n, first, 'gksu' will not work use 'gksudo', secondly, 'gksudo' is used for 'sudo' for GUI apps, fdisk is cli [12:26] mkanyicy: you're welcome! Don't try to delete too much, or we won't be able to help :-) [12:26] oCean_: nibbler thank you. [12:26] acicula: So you say that there are some devices which are only usable in windows and there is no way to use it in linux? [12:26] USB creater doesn't work here, I get 'boot error' message on the boot from it [12:26] pacsyka: absolutely. unless you write a driver for them ;-) [12:27] nibbler: And I already wrote two such drivers... [12:27] oCean_, yeah, you are right, I was just curious if it can be deleted === begasus_ is now known as Begasus [12:27] pacsyka: thats possible, but dont think thats the case here [12:27] MaximLevitsky: nice [12:27] pacsyka: more likely it looks like the wifi is set to disable [12:28] MaximLevitsky: they are in vanilla kernel now? [12:28] nibbler: Yehh right! :) But maybe Intel Wireless 5300 AGN is not one of them since iwlagn supports it or am I wrong? [12:28] nibbler: one is lirc driver,.... long story..... === satpam_capek is now known as satpam_mamam [12:28] nibbler: the other I published just few days ago [12:29] nibbler: this is a driver for ricoh XD card reader [12:29] pacsyka: i dont know [12:30] acicula: that was my understanding here as well. I use the latest kernel Linux woodoo 2.6.32.2-custom #1 SMP Wed Jan 6 12:28:01 CET 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux and according to intel iwlagn kernel module suports this card [12:30] hi, latest update broke firefox open in new window, any solution? [12:31] pacsyka: i think so too [12:31] acicula: Do you know this enable hw flag is stored on the card self? One it is changed it will work ? [12:31] pacsyka: i've given you some suggestions already as to the cause, other then that i dont know [12:32] acicula: would it make sence to play around with another OS and enable it ? [12:33] acicula: Thank you === darko is now known as Guest23232 [12:33] nibbler: only problem I have now is that write speed is very low. I suspect that to be hardware limitation [12:34] I need to install windows temporary and see how fast the reader will work there [12:34] Anyone else any idea how to remove hw block from an PRO/Wireless 5300 AGN [Shiloh] Network Connection card (no hw switch availabe) [12:34] so I created a ubuntu live usb, to rezise partition, try to boot it and get 'boot error' [12:34] hi.. i got a problem: I just recently installed Ubuntu on my X:, but now almost everytime I try to do something in win7, it tells me my C: is damaged and I should run CHKDSK. For example, he says skype.exe - Hard drive defunct. [12:35] Oh, and ubuntu itself works just fine [12:35] he just said Kvirc.exe - har drive defunct [12:35] pacsyka: try to ask at linux-wireless maling list [12:35] MaximLevitsky: use a vm that supports usb [12:35] Danian: did you check the disk like win7 suggests? [12:35] MaximLevitsky: thanks [12:35] nibbler: I can't, reader is pci device... [12:36] ciao [12:36] ah okay [12:36] nibbler: I have to install it on bare metal [12:36] parli italiano [12:36] acicula: yes, but it hung up at 40% [12:36] benny__: #ubuntu.it [12:36] !it | benny__ [12:36] benny__: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [12:36] Danian: well it needs to complete [12:37] acicula: what should I do if it always hangs up? [12:37] I try to boot the system with untebootlin, maybe it will work. I know that this isn't a bios issue [12:37] bye for now [12:37] how to set default entry in grub of ubuntu 9.04 ? [12:38] Can someone help me, I am new to ubuntu netbook remix 9.10 Karmic, I managed to install Java based program Memoranda, now I don't know how to delete the program because I don't like it. [12:38] ok I got it myself, thanks [12:38] Pranav: see /boot/grub/menu.lst [12:38] Danian: best asked in #windows, are you sure though it hangs and not taking very long, ie does your mouse still work, can you start a calculator etc [12:38] ..not just taking.. [12:38] nibbler, thanks anyway [12:38] pacsyka: Not sure if you can get your questions answered here but maybe: http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/ [12:39] everything works just fine.. except for firefox and that i always get errors. and i cant download something there... i ask this here bc. it was probably caused by installing ubuntu, acicula [12:40] Danian: well ubuntu probably resized the windows partition, there is no reason why the disk checkker should fail because of that though, aside from it having to run once [12:40] pacsyka: Looks like support for that chipset is already merged into the kernel as of kernel 2.6.26. [12:40] acicula, i installed ubuntu on the other hard drive [12:40] Can someone help me, I am new to ubuntu netbook remix 9.10 Karmic, I managed to install Java based program Memoranda, now I don't know how to delete the program because I don't like it. [12:41] Danian: ah, guess its not related then [12:41] but the problem just started after it started win7 after having installed ubuntu [12:41] Hello! [12:41] how can i boot the ubuntu live cd into a command prompt? [12:42] Danian: well disk checkker or whatever its called in win7 is where you need to start [12:42] spiekey: just start a gnome-shell? [12:42] spiekey: yes, boot rescue mode or use init=/bin/sh or just "1" as boot parameter [12:42] acicula: okay, thanks [12:43] I am going to replace my ageing desktop pc can anyone recommend where I can buy new Ubuntu desktop from?

[14:05] ver: If You don't knew what it is then lets drop it. Thx anyway. [14:05] mkanyicy, it's nm-applet [14:05] mazda01 - cairo-dock works just fine, np with it, i just can't download updates (btw - it's a third party source, there no updates for it in ubuntu archives as far as i know) [14:05] handjob_, good luck. [14:05] ver: Tu. [14:05] bizarrefish, i know but when i try 800x600, windows open larger then screen, so they are off screen. shouldn't they open only as large as res is set to? [14:05] maverick, try http://reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html#ownership [14:06] Rodensky, what maks you think there are update for it? [14:06] maverick, something like NAME=="bus/usb/003/002", MODE="0777" [14:06] ver: hmm..let me try [14:07] mazda01: i suppose it depends on the application. some apps enforce a size. some don't. in some cases, you just cant have a window shrunk to a requested size because the buttons/boxes pad it out too much. [14:07] Rodensky, show me the source info and where it gives you the gpg key [14:08] ver: should i add it in udev.conf or any one of the other files? [14:09] bizarrefish, yeah, im finding that out. i opened appearance and then fonts settings, and te box was so big i couldn't hit appy at bottom. that's just stupid. do you knw how to zoom in with the mouse scroll wheel? i know I can hit ctrl++ in web browser to zoom, but what abou like now, in xchat? [14:09] mazda01 - update manager said there are updates but i haven't installed them... i was gone for three weeks away from this pc and know it still says there are updates but the source is not available anymore. this is where i'm trying to copy source from: https://launchpad.net/~cairo-dock-team/+archive/ppa?field.series_filter=jaunty [14:09] maverick, /etc/udev/rules.d/90-mavericksscanner [14:09] maverick, or whatever, just XX-NAME format, udev will load it. [14:09] ver: ok..thanks [14:09] ver: but can you explain why 90- is used? [14:10] i created my own deluge init script. starting it before x starts makes configuration corrupt. how can i postpone execution time? (this was very easy, just one line inside the init script) [14:10] maverick, the entries in that rules.d are loaded in order. loading it with a higher value means the link to /dev/bus/usb/x/y/z is created already [14:10] ver: ahh..ok thanks.. [14:11] unfortunately xsession would be bad, as it gets overwritten every time the system restarts (i could change the way it is being overwritten, but this calls for problems after updating several times) [14:11] maverick, that path may not work, you may need to use different keying attributes. scroll down on that page, there are instructions on how to find your device using udevinfo [14:11] ver: ok..im checking it out [14:11] Rodensky, if you did everything at the top of page including sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys E80D6BF5 then there should be no problem. what error are you getting when you do sudo apt-get update, and then sudo apt-ger upgrade [14:11] Rodensky, i meant apt-get not apt-ger [14:11] orkunzZzzz, if you're using gnome, can you set it as a "startup application"? [14:12] orkunzZzzz, System->Preferences->Startup Applications [14:12] mazda01 i didn't because i don't know what keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com means... :\ that was my original question here - how do i add a key? [14:12] no that is what i meant with xsession - i use xserver with a single standalone application [14:13] sometimes fluxbox - i hope there is now not another ubuntu-server channel - then i apologize [14:13] does it mean http://ppa.launchpad.net/cairo-dock-team/ppa/ubuntu? [14:13] anyone knows where I'm supposed to submit a kernel patch to the ubuntu devs? [14:13] !upstart | orkunzZzzz [14:13] orkunzZzzz: 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/ [14:13] Will Ubuntu work on a Inspiron 537 [14:14] orkunzZzzz, a display manager uses .Xsession to launch the desktop. i would recommend rolling your own bash script to launch a window manager and deluge, then replacing /etc/init.d/gdm with a short "xinit /usr/local/deluge.sh" script, if that's literally all you want to run on the X display. [14:14] orkunzZzzz: you can have init scripts depend on other init scripts, though I'm not sure why you are starting deluge in an init script [14:14] !bugs | genstorm [14:14] genstorm: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs - Bugs in/wishes for the IRC bots (not Ubuntu) can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [14:14] Will Ubuntu work on a Inspiron 537? [14:15] orkunzZzzz, that's what I do for my mythtv frontend, and several TV channels i serve from ubuntu. [14:15] would apt-get install upstart work as if i inserted newest karmic? right now i have a complicated bash script which - before starting x - adjusts xsession properly. the problem is i don't maintain this script and it gets updated [14:15] Rodensky: https://launchpad.net/~cairo-dock-team/+archive/ppa [14:15] Will Ubuntu work on a Inspiron 537? [14:15] Zeonisis: how much ram? [14:15] it's not so much as a bug, it is support for a linksys wlan stick that was added to linus' kernel 11 days ago [14:15] 3000 mb [14:15] orkunzZzzz, i would remove any display managers if that were my setup, so they wouldn't overwrite my Xorg startup scripts. [14:15] mazda01 - i tried: sudo apt-key adv --http://ppa.launchpad.net/cairo-dock-team/ppa/ubuntu --recv-keys E80D6BF5, and the terminal says there's a problem [14:16] Rodensky, the suspense is killing us, what's the problem? [14:16] Rodensky, i just gave you the exact command to add that key. whats the question here. the website gives you the exact commands to add the repo to your sources and exactly how to add the key and all. just enter what it tells in terminal and your golden. do what before this sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys E80D6BF5 and all is well. u must not of undetsood that that those commands are what you need to copy pas [14:16] te into a terminal === aris_ is now known as Aris [14:16] genstorm: you're unlikely to get it in, but bugs include feature requests, etc. [14:16] ver, it is the way xbmc live works. it does not start any window manager. but your suggestion will work - if i cannot do it better. [14:16] ty for the 2 ideas [14:17] that's a pity, it is only an ID/vendor string, a one-liner that can easily backported to 2.6.31 and 2.6.32 [14:17] genstorm: ask #ubuntu-bugs if you need more guidance [14:17] I'll try to get it in anyway [14:17] thx [14:17] Will Ubuntu work on a Inspiron 537 with 3000 mb of ram? [14:17] ok, worked, thank you (i thuaght i need to replace "keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com" with something...) [14:17] ver: the commands udevinfo and udevtest are not working, is there any package i have to install? [14:17] Zeonisis: ubuntu works with anything [14:17] Rodensky, ok, what does it say, paste output at pastebin and paste link here [14:18] i have a problem resolving any names, how can i test whether it is a problem of my routers nameservice or of my ubuntu? [14:18] Zeonisis: dig out a computer from 1980 and it will work [14:18] Zeonisis, yes it will work [14:18] maverick, do you have udevadm? [14:18] I know, right? :D But I just wanted to be sure. [14:18] ver: E: Couldn't find package udevadm [14:18] It even works on my Inspiron mini 10 [14:18] Zeonisis: if nothing else, you cna boot from cd [14:18] mazda01 - it worked now, thank you (at first i thaught i need to replace "keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com" with something...) [14:19] PrototypeX29A, can you ping remote machines like google.com by their IP addresses [14:19] maverick, i meant the command. it should come with udev. [14:20] Rodensky, nope, those commands were copy paste. that's all you had to do. glad i could help [14:20] maverick, i don't know which release of ubuntu you run, but the newer ones have udevadm instead of udevinfo [14:20] ver: yes..its there thanks..im using karmic [14:20] mkanyicy: hmm that works, it seems the real question is whether it is a problem of my router's DNS or of my providers' [14:20] Rodensky, i was going to say that i just copied nd pasted them imyself, and they worked just fine for me. [14:20] isn't there a way to zoom, by holding some key and using scroll wheel on mouse? [14:21] mazda01: ask #compiz, or check your ccsm configuration [14:21] maverick, then replace "udevinfo" with "udevadm info" wherever you see it [14:21] maverick, it should be compatible [14:21] howdy :) i have really great problem. I've accidentally formated my usb flash disc, and i really need those data. can you help me recovering them? [14:21] ver: yes, im currently doing that [14:21] mazda01 - i reopened update manager right now in order to install the updates and now it says that the cairo-dock updates can't be authenticated [14:21] After dist-upgrade 9.04>9.10 Nautilus shows the icons of the directories 'Pictures', 'Documentation', 'Videos' and 'Music' without emblems.

[14:23] mazda01: or my isp? [14:24] PrototypeX29A, yeap, once you create an account, you go to settings and set your content filtering preferences. awesome! your isp won't have content filtering [14:24] mazda01 - i I prefer to do thing with the GUI, i hate the terminal and i hate writing every command i need, that's why i using ubuntu 9.04 instead of other OS'... when i had no other solution - i used the terminal for the key [14:24] *things [14:24] mazda01: ISPs will have content filtering, but some filtering i don't want to have [14:24] *i'm [14:25] Hi :) I'm trying to diagnose a possibly faulty graphics card running Ubuntu 9.04 are there any decent diagnostic tools?

[14:30] ..on IRC [14:30] Rodensky, ok, to each is own. but if you do it that then you;ll need to take a screen grab of error and paste it at imageshack or similar site whereas when you use terminal, output is text and you can easily paste it at pastebin for others to help you troubleshoot. [14:31] When it says the the download rate is X kB/s - B meas bits or bytes? [14:31] PrototypeX29A, well, my isp doesn't do that so i am ok. opendns is awesome! 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220 are the best 2 free numbers i have used in a long time. :-). [14:31] I just put a sound blaster sound card into my computer. I started my computer, and ubuntu has not detected it. How do I start using it? [14:31] mazda01: kthx :) [14:31] Rodensky: capital 'B' is an abbreviation for bytes. lowercase 'b' means bits [14:32] toehio_: does lspci find it ? [14:32] ??? [14:32] ??? [14:32] ??? [14:32] mazda01: do have to change /etc/resolv.conf or is there some tool for it, to do it in a clean way?

[14:35] i wanna install openbox on ubuntu 9.10 and have a look and feel like on crunchbang, need help [14:35] Rodensky, the terminal is your friend, not something to be afraid of. the more comfortable you get working in it, the better off you'll be with your linux experience.

I like it much better then the terminal (which i'm afraid of, i just hate working with it) [14:37] *which i'm NOT [14:38] NOT afraid of!! [14:38] by the way, to start deluged after hald and x i simply had to type update-rc.d deluged defaults 50 instead of update-rc.d deluged defaults [14:38] Protector1981, oh man, look into pastebinit, it's a package that allows you to enter command in terminal and it pastes the files contents at pastebin and spits out a link to it. it's awesome. google using pastebinit. and you'll be set. otherwise pastebin is www.pastebin.com. there's also an ubuntu pastehin but i never used it, its the same thing but ubuntu hosted i am guessing [14:38] :) [14:38] Rodensky: then learn to work with it and you will love it, much faster then a gui [14:39] Rodensky, like I said, it's not a requirement to learn terminal, but at least don't be afraid of it. it's totally a life saver. so if you want my help, please show me either a picture of the error about authentification or the output from a terminal pasted at pastebin [14:39] iceroot - you ppl liek it, i hate ot, that what the gui is for, then why force me to use the terminal? [14:40] howdy [14:40] hi [14:40] toehio_: sudo apt-get install alsa alsa-firmware && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [14:40] Rodensky: e.g. you are using a server without gui, then you will like it to know how to use the shell [14:41] Rodensky: and as i said, if you know how to handle the cli, you are much faster then with a gui [14:41] Can anyone tell me where the screenlets configuration file lives? For instance if I wanted to back up my current screenlet layout, etc. [14:41] how do i enter or mount a shared folder from a windows folder that is in my network ? [14:41] Rodensky: e.g. installing a package. starting synaptic, finding and clicking the package is slow [14:41] mazda01 - i told you already that there is no problem anymore... it now download everything... iceroot - when do i use a server without a gui?

[14:43] Rodensky: no a gui is not faster, its only faster for you because you dont know the shell but if you dont like the shell, feel free to use the gui but dont tell gui is faster [14:44] Rodensky, iceroot is merely trying to help you understand that using the terminal is more efficient and is a better way to do some things and even sometimes a requirement. like if you upgrade ubuntu to a new version, sometimes your display driver will be hosed adn you'll be forced to use the terminal or a busybox window [14:45] mkanyicy, nothing. Light on HDD lights up, but on Ubuntu nothing happens.

[15:43] bullgard: the same Pictures you mentioned earlier or Videos or Documents. the folders [15:44] trijntje: Thank you for commenting. [15:46] bullgard, it's quite possible that the theme you are using doesn'T have the specific emblems you were using, you can copy them over from another theme, it can be tedious, the users icon theme are located in ~/.icons , I don'T recall where the defaults themes are located, but something similar probably in /usr/share/icons or something , therer are two files for each emblems on the icon and a text file with the names in several langua [15:46] ge, have fun copying [15:46] legend2440: They are no 'Pictures' in ordinary language but rather 'icons'. -- Nautilus provides icons together with the names of directories. [15:47] bullgard, it's also possible that befroe you were just using a theme that contained some special folder icons for those folders [15:48] Pelo: Yes, that is what I suspect too.

[16:16] -d is for development version, pkx. It would upgrade you to Ubuntu 10.04 Alpha 2. [16:16] aryr100: why not add it in by hand? [16:16] How to do that. [16:17] Hi, I'm trying to configure my monitor in Ubuntu 9.1 because the resolutions offered by the display program are too low. I've seen some information where people say editing xorg.conf is being phased out? If that's the case, how are we supposed to be setting the monitor resolution? [16:17] fahadmks666, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras and then go to the properties of file and associate it with movie player [16:17] tried not getting the code right, missing something [16:17] why is ##debian empty? [16:17] I need debian help [16:17] hi. i downloaded the eclipse tar.gz file, having trouble installing. i extracted to a folder, and when i try running ./configure it say no such file or directory [16:17] fahadmks666, restricted exrtas is something you can a codec pack and other apps too if you don't know already [16:18] it's #debian , erry [16:18] not ##debian [16:18] hello. i have a question here [16:18] !question | kaiser2011 [16:18] kaiser2011: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [16:18] waffl: first there is no ubuntu 9.1, second: what video card do you use, third: check in sis>admon>hardware support [16:18] I am installing it. [16:18] a Program for the maintenance exists and l' optimization of the system for ubuntu ??? [16:18] alright [16:18] domjohnson, ? === stephen is now known as Guest99431 [16:18] I was directing it to erry , om26er [16:19] * om26er really like #ubuntu [16:19] ?

I have windows right now. I will download a iso file and mount on a virtual drive. And then continue the windows installtion [16:19] It's ok :) [16:19] will that work ? === pauljw_vm is now known as pauljw [16:19] kaiser2011: you can do it using wubi [16:19] xangua: i need to do it this way. i downloaded the file from school and now i need to install it here [16:19] kaiser2011: wubi can work straight from an iso [16:19] kaiser2011, yes [16:20] xangua: sorry, ubuntu 9.10, using an old ATI 3D Rage II, and no hardware drivers installed [16:20] also, when i insert a movie disc the processor useage come to 100%. Why is that? [16:20] what do i do when a download something and it is missing a newline [16:20] alright [16:20] fahadmks666, after installation have you updated your system. if not update it but sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [16:21] *with [16:21] and one more thing. I just have one partition on my hard disk. it already has windows on it. Can it dual boot with ubuntu ? previously i used to install on seperate drive. I will be installing ubunutu through wubi from windows* [16:21] wubi boots from within windows kaiser2011 it dosent dualboot in the normal sence [16:21] oh i see [16:21] I dont reccomend wubi [16:22] kaiser2011, you can resize your current windows partiton and make an extra partition [16:22] resize windows partition. and do a normal install. works a lot better for most people [16:22] xangua:any ideas? [16:22] Hellie: to compile i think you need to have the biuld essentials [16:22] what do i do when i download and it si missing a newline [16:23] well right now i just want to get accustomed to using ubuntu. i didnt quite use it much before. [16:23] i wont be using it on a daily basis for now. might be a bit later [16:23] kaiser2011: ifyou want to test it out. You may want to do it in virtualbox. === arcfox is now known as Arctic [16:23] kaiser2011: it is perfect for the home user. :) [16:23] virtualbox ? [16:24] !virtualbox | kaiser2011 [16:24] kaiser2011: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [16:24] Helsinkiii: to compile i think you need to have the biuld essentials and also all those dependencies oracle ask, wich from the package manager i see they are considerable [16:24] kaiser2011: that way you can run linux in a window on windows. No fancy stuff needed. [16:24] kaiser2011: you can even test out dozens of disrtos that way. [16:25] hmm [16:25] kaiser2011, you better install it instead of using on a virtual machine as the performance might be pretty much declined [16:25] Yes, I have updated the OS [16:26] fahadmks666, restricted extras installed? [16:26] yup [16:26] can anyone remote access my computer and help?????????/ [16:27] fahadmks666, go to system>adminitration>software sources and there in third tab click all unticked and then close and come to terminal and type sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [16:27] ok i think i will use a third party software to create a partition from windows and then install ubuntu on it. how much free space woudl i need for installation. i would access my files that i need from the windows parition if i have to [16:27] kaiser2011, no boot into ubuntu live cd and use gparted to repartition its simple [16:28] kaiser2011, you can easily resize with gparted [16:28] kaiser2011, 5 to 10 gig should do , if you don'T need more, my install is about 3 gig the rest I for files [16:28] hi [16:29] i see. ok. and one more thing. i will be installing it now on a laptop. its not a netbook. its a pretty good laptop with good specs. i just intall the desktop version right [16:29] Done [16:29] Updating [16:29] what package I need to install to see gajim icon? I didn't installed any depenses of gajim. [16:30] kaiser2011, yes, but realy , the diff between the desktop cd and the alt cd is just the installer [16:30] kaiser2011: you can create a new partition with gparted, i think is incluided in the live cd [16:30] gajim tray icon* === Homer is now known as Guest35526 [16:30] Hello everybody!

[16:37] does ubuntu install/run a firewall by default? [16:37] I checked tray icon in gajim settings - it's activated but I can't see icon on notification area [16:37] i am trying to install the package www::search::google and cant find it to install [16:37] fluxdude, i'm not sure you get sound out of hdmi , I think it's just high quality and it allows feedback from th otehr device, like the tv remote , if you can handle it [16:37] robbins61: Ubuntu runs a firewall by default but configuring it is too difficult [16:38] anyone know of *good* documentation for setting up MIDI controllers in Ubuntu Studio? I'm pretty frustrated that there is no sound from any MIDI files, and I (obviously) cant setup my MIDI keyboard correctly. [16:38] what?

[17:53] chris122380: i recall yesterday saying the setting is in the pidgin libnotify settings or somthing - I dont use the app. [17:54] It's not a pidgin setting [17:54] Pidgin notifications indeed [17:54] #ubuntu-br [17:54] chris122380, http://www.killertechtips.com/2009/04/26/disable-notifications-in-ubuntu-904-jaunty-jackalope/ [17:55] meekatron yes I think so [17:55] what can I do if Ubuntu (9.10) freezes in GDM? [17:55] chris122380: it is a pidgin setting, Tools/Plugins/Libnotify, you can completely disable it or configure what you want to see [17:55] unimatrix: ctrl+alt+f1 [17:55] krang: doesn't work [17:55] meekatron you mean the gateway will connect to the VPN and web traffic from everything but your server will use the VPN? [17:56] unimatrix: ouch. Do you have SSH enabled? You can login from another machine [17:56] Myrtti: did you see it??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? [17:56] krang: i don't, it's a fresh install [17:56] chris122380: it is using a system-wide notification system though, which you could disable if you didn't want any app to send notifications (but I don't know how to do that off the top of my head) [17:56] Fitz111: yes, I did. I'm trying to think of a solution. [17:56] freddo, the device is brand new and has never worked in linux. it is stated on the packet that it only supports windows, but I suspect there is a way around it [17:56] mmvx: no i want all private lan browsing from home wifi and stuff to go through vpn.. but the server which hass my small web site just to go straight out on my origonal ip. [17:57] Hello, I need a help. I installed ubuntu 9.10 in my Acer laptop 5810t, but it can't play the cdrom [17:57] really do you think i can get mana world on my dell mini 10v [17:57] unimatrix: well, if ctrl+alt+(f-whatever) doesn't give you a shell, I'm out of ideas. Sorry dude. [17:57] Fitz111: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/debian-26/apt-get-dpkg-error-files-list-file-...-missing-final-newline-271118/ [17:57] hya guys, have a Q. Something messed up my connection and added a proxy. when i issue: echo $http_proxy i can see a proxy there [17:57] meekatron what device will be the access point for you wifi network? [17:57] how do i completly remove it? [17:58] Yoman, does it have some kind of protection, such as o3? [17:58] mmvx: i have a couple of access points all connected to a switch at the moment [17:58] Hello, I need a help. I installed ubuntu 9.10 in my Acer laptop 5810t, but it can't play the cdrom [17:58] Myrtti: what do i do on the website [17:58] Fitz111: read the page. [17:59] Yoman, you could check the kernel logs to see if they help... [17:59] fleitasj try booting with F10 select boot device, if bios boot-priority does not work [17:59] freddo, not sure what you mean. When I plug the usb in, it is detected as one usb-drive and one cd-rom. The cd-rom part of it contains an antivirus program. The very best would be if i could delete the cd-part and format the whole thing as a normal usb-pendrive, but I'm not sure that is possible [17:59] having serious sound problem plz plz checkout http://avinandan.hd1.in/soundprob.html :( [18:00] my boot is ok [18:00] meekatron so where will the VPN connection be made? [18:00] fleitasj how did you install ubuntu? Using a cd? [18:00] yes dvd and update on webside [18:01] Myrtti:ok but do you think this will work [18:01] is there a way to force kernel not to load dri in grub options? [18:01] Yoman: you should check out the website of the maker of the usb stick, I have one from sandisk that had the same thing, and they provided a windows utility to remove it [18:01] fleitasj is your dvd drive also a cd burner drive, and do you have any blank cds? [18:01] Fitz111: worth a try? [18:01] Yoman: after that it worked fine with ubuntu [18:02] hello [18:02] yes [18:02] yes [18:02] trism, a utility that removed the cd-part? [18:02] Yoman: yes [18:02] does anyone know what type of linux runs the best on old out of date pcs [18:02] fleitasj, seems to be specific to your hardware see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1235151 for solution, good luck. [18:02] Myrtti:how long do you think it will take to fix the problem [18:02] mmvx: well thats why i was thinking of the gateway.. i did have it just straight at my router.. works fine but cus the ip is then changed and dynamic i cannot access my web site or even ssh into my machines.. so was wondering if it possible to configure to a spare ubuntu server as a gateway and filter the traffic from the web server straight through it avoiding the vpn, if the vpn is made on the gateway.. does that make sense?? [18:02] trism, that sounds awesome =) do you happen to still have it? [18:02] fleitasj can you just try inserting a blank cd for me see what happens? [18:03] Does the ATI HD4850 have 3D support yet? [18:03] ok [18:03] meekatron you could put the router behind the ubuntu gateway and still make the VPN connection using the router [18:04] trism, so you mean they had that utility downloadable from their website? [18:04] mmvx, nothing will happen by the sounds of it -- if he suspends the computer, puts a cd in then wakes it up it will be recognized -- according to the post [18:04] I am sorry all my cd are wroten [18:04] Ubuntu or Xubuntu has any major differences...(mainly on any features?) [18:04] hi [18:04] david__ for 'older' pc's use XUBUNTU [18:04] ZykotickK9 ok, but ubuntu clearly saw it when it installed itself from the dvd [18:04] mmvx: ?? i dont think so , sure the router is how i connect to my broadband it has to first, correct me if im wrong [18:05] How Can I do ? [18:05] meekatron ok so you have an adsl line you need to connect first [18:05] Yoman: yes, mine was on the Sandisk site, you would need to check the site of the company that makes yours [18:05] How do I see routers on my network (without knowing there IP) like one dose using network places in Vista and windows 7? [18:05] Is there a flash drive linux channel of some sort? [18:05] mmvx, ya - it's after install the problem shows up obviously (the drive works, it's just ubuntu that's messing with it) [18:05] how are from poland?? [18:05] trism, ok thanks, will do that ^^ [18:06] i tried kubuntu but it ran so slow that i could not do anything does xubuntu run faster [18:06] Does the ATI HD4850 have 3D support yet? [18:06] mmvx: away into look after the kids.. if i get it workin ill let ya know [18:06] david__, yes - much [18:06] meekatron ok good luck but either way I'm pretty sure it's possible [18:06] good night [18:06] which i am running xubuntu on my laptop an seems to run a lot faster i will try that then [18:07] thanks [18:07] Приветы :) [18:07] :-* [18:07] :) [18:07] FANTASY_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

I installed ubuntu 9.10 in my Acer laptop 5810t, but it can't play the cdrom [18:08] How do I see routers on my network (without knowing there IP) like one dose using network places in Vista and windows 7?

[18:09] Myrtti:what do i do now [18:09] Myrtti:what do i do now [18:09] hi, please i read that /opt is meant for add-ons, but firefox plugins and rhythmbox plugins are add-ons, they're not originally with the package. Why they aren't in /opt? [18:10] chris122380 usually the gateway is the ip for managing your router [18:10] I put ubuntu on my flash drive as an iso image using a program that comes with ubuntu whose name I forget. I'm wondering how the best way to install it on my flash drive is and make it a writeable drive so I can save my prefrences and whatnot. Also what install runs fastest? [18:10] chris122380 type route into a terminal to see your default gateway? [18:10] obiwan_, /opt isn't used much anymore, but it's where things NOT from Ubuntu will be installed (some 3rd party games still go there by default) [18:10] obiwan_: /opt is for additional software - not for additions to existing packages [18:10] Only the router that goes to the net [18:10] Fitz111: I can't spoonfeed you what to do based on the information, I gave you one method of fixing your issue [18:10] not the other internal routers [18:11] xubuntu seems to be a lot better in terms of use than kubuntu the apps seems to work much easier [18:11] is it possible go to from ubuntu to xubuntu without reinstalling? [18:11] RubbberDucky: www.linuxliveusb.com [18:12] I know that Places ->> Network showes computes on the network but not the routers [18:12] apt-get install xubuntu desktop [18:12] protojay, just install xubuntu-desktop then select XFCE from the GDM login screen [18:12] i think [18:12] ok so the only solution is the website [18:12] what about kubuntu ZykoticK9 ? same thing? [18:12] protojay, yup [18:13] trism, didn't seem to be such an app =(.. maybe the one you had will work for me too? [18:13] cli program to list contents of directory in a tree-like structure with file sizes? [18:13] ok guntbert and ZykoticK9 , but then why if i install for example, amarok (it's not ubuntu default) isn't installed there? or links2, or many other programs [18:13] how do I install a downloaded plugin with vuse: SpeedScheduler_1.6.0.jar [18:13] obiwan_, as i said /opt isn't used much anymore -- and anothing packaged from Ubuntu, is Ubuntu (more or less) [18:13] I know that Places ->> Network showes computes on the network but not the routers [18:14] obiwan_: read what ZykoticK9 said [18:14] chris122380 I guess windows sees them as they are advertising upnp? [18:14] does anyone know much about windows xp [18:14] how do i get cool looking dsektops... uhhh beryl i think it called? [18:14] protojay install compizconfig-settings-manager [18:14] david__, ask in ##windows this is Ubuntu support [18:15] can you view the upnp advertising in ubuntu then?

[18:29] Dr_Willis, well, it really has nothing to do with Python because it will all be run inside an xterm. That's really the thing, I want the xterm to exit with the same status of the command it runs. So I'd run xterm -e 'a=`command`; exit %a'. Otherwise, xchat will always exit with a success coe and Python will never know if the command actually failed.

[18:43] mmvx: No, I had to fix the window-setting. [18:43] mmvx: You have to excuse my english, it sucks alot [18:43] x_link: That is because you have Extra checked in sys>prefs>appearance>Visual Effects. To set your own settings, install simple-ccsm and select Custom from that will appear in the visual effects radio button [18:44] x_link: ive seen some other people with similer issues. Not sure how they fixed it.. its possible a logout/backin may start it working [18:44] x_link if you aren't using compiz the settings in the settings manager are not effective. Your english is fine. [18:44] soreau: Ahh okey [18:44] what is the best ubuntu for somone that is computer iliterite [18:45] soreau: I recognaize your nick alot. Aren't you using KDE also? Or DEbian maybe? [18:45] david__ the normal one. === Sacho is now known as SAway [18:45] david_ ubuntu === SAway is now known as Sacho [18:45] x_link: I am compiz support member [18:45] Yes [18:45] 9.10 [18:45] Ahh right, that's where I seen your nick from =) [18:45] david_ just get the desktop one [18:45] The latest is the greatest [18:45] which one would that be [18:45] soreau x_link does not want to use compiz at all [18:45] And I mean the latest stable [18:45] 9.10 indeed [18:46] megalomaniac: Trying to load up a Netgear WG311? (Showsup as ACX 111)? [18:46] 9.10 crashes my laptop [18:46] mmvx: If that's the case, tell him to disable it by selecting None in sys>prefs>appearance>Visual Effects [18:46] are there somewhere updated ubuntu 9.10 live cd iso's (with actual kernels and security updates) available (similar to daily use lucid iso's, but for karmic)? [18:46] soreau I assumed he had! But you just told him :) [18:47] david_ what do you mean upload a net gear are you talking about firm ware [18:47] soreau: But now when I totaly disable in Visual Effects then the windows opens "Smart", not "Centered" as I want [18:47] I messed around with my sound a while a ago (I don't remember exactly what I did) and now my sound no longer works. I am on a dual-boot system and sound works within OSX. When I go to System>Settings, there isn't even a sound editor. I need some serious help. How do I reinstall ubuntu's sound settings to their default? [18:47] amatuxx, no [18:47] mmvx: No, I told him to install simple-ccsm and select Custom from that list so he could enable and disable the plugins he wants to [18:47] megalomaniac: Yes, I suppose so. [18:47] megalomaniac: just need to get the thing working... [18:47] soreau you misunderstand, I was just joking that you had told him in your message to me [18:47] kostkon: thx for the info [18:47] megalomaniac: no wireless extensions. [18:48] x_link: When you select None from the list, it will start metacity. Thus, the settings in ccsm will have no effect at all [18:48] hey, i am trying to merge the backtrack4 tools into ubuntu netbook remix. i did mv /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/old_sources.list (after fully upgrading ubuntu) then made a new /etc/apt/sources.list and put the backtrack repository in it. then i did an apt-get update, apt-get dist-upgrade, apt-get upgrade, and it ran a few things--but it didn't give me all of the bt tools and whatnot [18:48] megalomaniac: Couldn't find package ndiswrapper [18:48] david__ what do you mean no wireless extension [18:48] why is that? [18:48] hmm [18:48] ok, I just put 64-bit on my new box, but I can't seem to get any sound from it (though pretty much everything else seems to work fine). When I lspci, it says my audio device is nVidia Corporation Device , but I know thought that my sound was run through the Realtek ALC888 codec chip on my board, so I'm wondering if it's possible that the system somehow thinks my graphics card (the only nVidia thing in my box) is the audio device because of [18:48] Maybe I should choose "Medium" in Visual Effects. [18:49] Cause I really want new window to be centered [18:49] david__ just load all of the updates and try the restricted drivers [18:49] megalomaniac: Installing ndiswrapper now... [18:49] whiten0ise: moving the sources list doesn't change the package list that is selected, generally it just results in a broken system [18:50] x_link there is a patch for metacity that does what you want [18:50] trism: after i moved it when i did the next apt-get update it only updated the backtrack repos...so it seemed to work [18:50] x_link but it appears not to be configurable in a default installation [18:51] It looks like I have a USB device that's preventing my computer from sleeping. The only USB device plugged in is my mouse though. Any ideas? [18:51] Anyone care to reccomend a good rsync client for windows? [18:51] I messed around with my sound a while a ago (I don't remember exactly what I did) and now my sound no longer works. I am on a dual-boot system and sound works within OSX. When I go to System>Settings, there isn't even a sound editor. I need some serious help. How do I reinstall ubuntu's sound settings to their default? [18:51] al_ search on freshmeat.net [18:51] mmvx: Okey, but I will use Compiz then. [18:52] whiten0ise: yes it will point to a new repo, and it will likely upgrade any packages you already have selected, but it probably won't select new packages automatically (you would probably need to select them manually) [18:52] trism: how would i go about that? [18:52] x_link ok. The animations check box exhibits the same behaviour on my installation as does yours === root is now known as Guest84647 [18:52] whiten0ise: can't really help you there, and I'm not really sure you wouldn't end up with a broken system even if you did === Guest84647 is now known as hakan [18:53] trism: i know its possible, one of the other guys did it. he just broke his ubuntu a couple times trying but eventually got it to work [18:53] CaffeineAddict: try a differnt usb port.

I'm not trying to argue, just trying to understand better [18:57] shane__: it isn't [18:57] shane__ there is no need 64bit versions of those plugins are available [18:57] shane__: you can install 64 bit flash, though it's not yet "official" [18:57] shane__: you can run 64bit flash and 64bit java [18:57] !flash64 | shane__ [18:57] shane__: You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava === biggimat is now known as Matic`Makovec [18:57] trism: the synaptic package manager has all of the new backtrack packes for selection in it. i believe i can just install them all from here manually [18:57] JigabuMemi got me too [18:57] megalomaniac: He's gone. [18:58] good [18:58] shane__: tbh, those are the packages that are packaged in 64-bit wrappers so that they would work in 64-bit browser [18:58] jrib, every time I install the flash plugin that is 64bit downloaded from their web site, and install it, the plugin's never work, when I go back and install the 32bit plugin it works [18:58] shane__: what does « uname -m » return? [18:58] janisoza1r, ^^^^ [18:58] is there a better way to run GUI appz on ubuntu without actually installing GUI ?

[19:25] mmmm [19:25] got similar problem [19:26] connection refused == code 111, related to network [19:26] i have problem with sound if i do launch firefox once all sound inside games will be off why?? [19:27] ubuntu 9.10 [19:27] jrib, got it, turns out I visited the shockwave adobe site to test my flash instead of the flash test spot. lol [19:27] mneptok, it's for internet users I'm the only one going to have a user on the computer. [19:27] i can start internet only through terminal [19:27] shane__: heh [19:27] JakobSteinn: OK, then in that case an SSH server will not help. [19:27] well, removing indicator applet removed the shutdown and restart buttons, and there is nothing in its place now like before [19:27] define start advocate [19:28] i installed computertemp but don't know where to find it. anyone know how? [19:28] and I still get the damn notifications without the icon. [19:28] kinja-sheep: Yeh, and I do actually have synergy installed on it. Thanks :) [19:28] JakobSteinn: do you have a router? and if so, have your forwarded the correct ports to the machine in question? [19:28] superkiwi: NP. :0 [19:28] obaid plz elaborate [19:28] Xserver: when you configure the NX session to use kde, it starts "startkde" when logging in [19:29] yes [19:29] hockeymachine, acpi ? [19:29] acpi? [19:29] mneptok, Yes I've forwarded both port 21 and 20 TCP/UDP [19:29] petsounds, acpi? [19:29] advocate, you asked if you could start internet using terminal, start as connect ? or start as browse ?? [19:29] what is the custom parameter for fluxbox ? [19:29] no one knows about sound problem??? [19:29] JakobSteinn: and the vsftpd config files are set to use these ports? [19:30] mneptok, I surpose so one sec [19:30] Xserver: so if you exchange /usr/bin/startkde with a shell script with only one line "exec fluxbox", NX will start fluxbox even if kde is configured [19:30] hi all .. there a way i can re-mount a dvd with rw instead of rw ? do if so does it have to be done via fstab ? [19:30] alloosh: removing the indicator-applet-session applet should put the shutdown items into System where they used to be [19:30] hockeymachine, try to type acpi on terminal [19:30] aah... so i need to do it in server , not nxclient [19:30] trism: they are not [19:30] Xserver: yes [19:30] not installed [19:30] <|newbie|> Question ; Considering that I will print max 10 pages per week in black and white ... which is a better choice ... HP F2420 or Samsung ML1640 ? [19:30] hockeymachine, then install it [19:30] !flash64 [19:30] JakobSteinn: if you have not edited the vsftpd config files then connecting to the daemon will be problematic. IIRC, vsftpd's default config is *extremely* conservative. [19:30] You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava [19:30] <|newbie|> I already have a scanner [19:30] trism: and I still get the notifications up there, for example pidgin notifications [19:31] !ot | |newbie| [19:31] |newbie|: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [19:31] Xserver: that way NX will start fluxbox as a real desktop session, not as a custom command [19:31] obaid i meant i am not able to connect using network connection applet [19:31] alloosh: the notifications have nothing to do with the indicator applet, notify-osd displays them in karmic [19:31] petsounds, not that but computertemperature monitor [19:31] trism: Hmm...don't understand where I should go? [19:31] advocate, do u use wireless or cable ? [19:31] wzqu171 : /usr/bin/startkde is correct path ? [19:31] there is no such file [19:31] obaid cable [19:31] obaid dsl cable modem [19:31] obaid: excuse me... can u explainme a little more detailed? [19:31] mneptok, "connect_from_port_20=YES" is uncommented. [19:32] obaid: im a stone head [19:32] Xserver: i don't have kde installed, maybe its in another location [19:32] alloosh: did you remove it from the panel or just uninstall it? because I just removed mine and it added the shutdown button to system (although you can add a shutdown button to the panel manually, right-click add to panel [19:32] Xserver: try "which startkde" on the shell [19:32] araxhiel, i forgot, what was ur problem [19:32] JakobSteinn: try telnetting to the port and see what output you get [19:32] alloosh: also you can disable the pidgin notifications without messing with other notifications in Tools/Plugins/libnotify [19:32] no KDE [19:32] does this look right /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 rw,user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 [19:32] JakobSteinn: and ensure the vsftpd process is actually running. [19:32] there isn't KDE installed [19:32] advocate, if your router running DHCP server, just plugin the cable it should work [19:32] only fluxbox [19:32] obaid: anyone knows how to avoid, when upgrade the firefox package, the package reinstall the search plugins that has already had eliminated previously? [19:32] trism: how do I add the shut down options as it was before removing the indicator applet? I actually removed it [19:33] mneptok, Well my plan was to keep the server as open as possible just to get it running and then I'll go in depth configureing the .conf file [19:33] can u name the search plugins ? [19:33] araxhiel, [19:33] Hi, I'm going to dualboot Win7 and Ubuntu, what filesystem is recommended for my media disc? [19:33] !resetpanel [19:33] To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [19:33] mneptok, can you tell me how to telnet the port? [19:33] Olof_: FAT32 [19:33] hockeymachine, that's quite old. my suggestion is you use acpi or install screenlets [19:33] i want to re-mount and encrypted dvd [19:33] I just installed Ubuntu inside of VirtualBox, and the resolution is stuck at 800x600. Anyone know how I can fix it? [19:33] JakobSteinn: telnet ip.address.of.server 20 [19:33] JakobSteinn: do it the other way round - open ftp servers are misused within minutes [19:33] advocate, if your router doesn't run a DHCP server, you need to set your IP/Subnet/Gateway/DNS manually, and you should already know about them [19:33] wzqu171 : there is no DE installed , only i installed fluxbox to gain desktop access via NX [19:34] petsounds, i did sudo apt get install acpi , now what do i do for that one? [19:34] mneptok: i thought fat32 only supported small files? eg not files over 4gb or something? [19:34] alloosh: it does it automatically for me, I haven't found a way to do it manually (but like I said you can add a panel button if you need to, right clicking the panel, add to panel and select shut down...) [19:34] ZauberExonar: you need the vbox extras package [19:34] guntbert, what do you mean? [19:34] ZauberExonar, install the "Guest Additions" in the VM, then restart the VM [19:34] Xserver: then create a new file /usr/bin/startkde, put in "exec fluxbox" and set in executable [19:34] hockeymachine, just type acpi and acpi -t for battery life time [19:34] Olof_: correct. FAT32 has a 4GB file size limit. [19:34] kk [19:34] petsounds, what for computer temperature? [19:34] bash script ? === Mud is now known as Mud|afk [19:34] obaid: the detail is that I've downloaded several search plugins and deleted others [19:35] hockeymachine, acpi [19:35] well i have dvd-images on my media disc, so what other options are there mneptok ? [19:35] obaid i have always go to terminal to start internet with sudo pon dsl-provider [19:35] petsounds, is there a way to add it to the panel for constant monitoring? [19:35] Hmm...when I open a new window in Ubuntu/GNOME it doesn't get focused. [19:35] Having a huge problem here using ndiswrapper.... I know it is installed because i tried to download it again and it said I had the latest version.... Yet when I try to use it on my windows driver "sudo ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf" I get the message "sudo ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf" [19:35] obaid: but, whe firefox is about to be updated... it always restore the search plugins that I already delete [19:35] Olof_: NTFS. but it's driver is not as robust as FAT32. [19:35] *its [19:35] When I open the terminal I want to be able to write in right away, but Firefox gets focused instead. [19:35] hockeymachine, mot sure but screenlets might do the trick :) [19:36] JakobSteinn: don't keep it as open as possible in the beginning but start as secure as possible and then gradually open it up - when you got it finally to work of course :) [19:36] I'm having the same problem as this guy here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=608531 does anybody have a solution to it? [19:36] mneptok: robust as in crashing from time to time or what could happen? [19:36] advocate, maybe your case is different, i give up [19:36] x_link: what don't you understand? [19:36] araxhiel, i experience no such behaviour from firefox [19:36] Olof_: "robust" as in "the ability to both read and write depends on a lot of factors, and people have more issues with NTFS than with FAT32." [19:37] trism: How to fix that thing with the clock [19:37] guntbert, oh yes ofc ! But I think it's easier to get it to work when you start "open" if you know what I mean? [19:37] I messed around with my sound a while a ago (I don't remember exactly what I did) and now my sound no longer works. I am on a dual-boot system and sound works within OSX. When I go to System>Settings, there isn't even a sound editor. I need some serious help. How do I reinstall ubuntu's sound settings to their default? [19:37] obaid: I winbugs version I don't have that problem... only in the firefox ubuntu packages [19:38] JakobSteinn: yes - but as I said: open servers tend to get misused pretty fast - but I will not distract you more - Good luck :-) [19:38] mneptok, I wrote the following "telnet 192.168.1.2"(my local ip) and it gave me this output "telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused" [19:38] JakobSteinn: telnet 192.168.1.2 21 [19:38] 21 for ftp [19:38] JakobSteinn: the port is important [19:38] hola a todos y todas [19:39] do ftp host [19:39] hola femurca [19:39] x_link: in a terminal, type gconf-editor, on the left side of the app there is a tree, navigate to /apps/panel/applets/clock_screen0/prefs; you want to edit two keys there, custom_format (change it to "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M" without the quotes) and change format to custom, then the clock will be in the format you want [19:39] femurca: Ingles solamente, pf.

I think there is a gui for it too and it makes it even easier [20:10] thrillERboy: did you install a dualboot or sth like wubi ? [20:10] kraitos: I know its a different beast - but you could get a starting point on http://www.thinkwiki.org/ (for ibm/lenovo thinkpads) [20:10] philyaw, then make [20:10] dual boot [20:11] volgotron: which driver? [20:11] philyaw, then login as root and make install [20:11] thrillERboy: then you will have to install grub, better do a backup of mbr case things mess up [20:11] froglet [20:11] Wifi: Atheros AR8132 [20:11] obaid, how do i login as root?

And despite having 9.10, I'm using the GRUB2 from the deb sid repo so this system will boot properly. I'm so close to having a beautifully working system.

[20:17] jpds, yes: OOPS-1470L3116 [20:17] philyaw: I thought I saw obaid mentioning it to you - to get get root permissions you use sudo or gksudo [20:17] froglet, any help from you? [20:17] sn[a]ke:already googled === aris is now known as Aris [20:17] ubermensch: you confused me, is the problem you have with xorg or something else? [20:17] ubermensch: http://www.teleost.org/docs/gma-900-linux.html [20:17] Baobab seems to be contradicting itself :) [20:18] jukebox-zero: Linux Mint 7 for desktop effects.... [20:18] ubermensch: the the replay above from DasEi [20:18] see* [20:18] hendrik: Let me take a look. [20:18] I wonder why /mnt/sda5/home/ed is listed as having contents of 10.5GB when the size of each of the contents listed doesn't enarly add up to that [20:18] i need drivers for gma 900 on ubuntu 9.10 googled on linux google but they have for different distros not ubuntu [20:18] hendrik: You might want to inform #launchpad too. [20:18] ubermensch: see the reply above from DasEi [20:19] how do you change the settings on touchfreeze? [20:19] jpds, thanks [20:19] guntbert, this page pretty much says to use sudo to get root permissions [20:19] read that but what is xorg.conf [20:20] ubermensch: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf, there you go [20:20] guntbert, ohh, how can I login as root then if sudo is only for running some commands? [20:20] philyaw: thats ok - I probably misread something - sorry for the interruption [20:20] ubermensch you will find xorg.conf in /etc/X11/ [20:20] it is the configuration file for xorg [20:20] that opened up a blank gedit window [20:20] i just got hold of 9.10 on a thinkpad t41, is the boot up time slow took like 2 1/2 minutes ? [20:21] philyaw: you don't "login as root" - if you *absolutely* *need* a root shell use sudo -i [20:21] guntbert, what does the -i denote? [20:21] hey everybody testing one other computer installed from nothing that was dying in some places of my flat, works perfectly :) 1 more computer for people that comes and wants to use internet :) They won't have to touch my computer as i don't like it at all :) [20:21] triple_x May give it a try, haven't given up yet though. And since the problem I'm having isn't with any one player, I'm not entirely sure it's a problem with the players, so much as a problem with the hardware or configuration info that ubuntu is passing along to the video players. [20:21] well I am not religious about sudo and I sometimes use su because that is what I have done for many years [20:22] froglet, that opened up a blank gedit window [20:22] philyaw: it gives you a shell with root permissions and a same environment [20:22] *sane [20:22] ho istallato xmule, mi compare tra le voci delmenu rete ma non parte. Cosa devofare? [20:22] philyaw-> sometimes you need to use man pages.. man sudo.. anyhow -i The -i (simulate initial login) option runs the shell specified in [20:22] the passwd(5) entry of the user that the command is being run as. [20:22] ubermensch: you get by ?

[20:23] ubermensch: yes, second section (for debian systems) [20:23] when formating my hdd to dual boot, should i use |win7---40gb|ubuntu---40gb|mediafiles(ntfs)---220gb| does it matter in what order i use the volumes? [20:23] does ubuntu netbook remix strip drivers from normal ubuntu? or is it just given maximus and some extras? [20:23] ubermensch read the page and copy into it what applies in your case [20:23] I get an error using the -i: make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop. [20:23] Is there a way to uninstall Ubuntu ? [20:23] DasEil: ok [20:24] jukebox-zero: Dumb question ,but can you run flash media such as youtube in full screen mode if so ... I think it may go hardware... In that case you could be waiting a month or 2 for a driver update.... [20:24] JonathanD-> are you multi-booted? [20:24] froglet: what you and I do on our computers is one thin - what we recommend to others is another one [20:24] Yes [20:24] *thing [20:24] i am thinking that touchfreeze is not work [20:24] working [20:24] guntbert: indeed :) [20:24] DasEil: Ok copied [20:24] Johnny425: yes, can simply delete it's partitions [20:24] okay, thanks [20:24] ubermensch: save xorg.conf, close gedit [20:25] I have a question about setting up a touchscreen in ubuntu, just did the apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-elographics, but how to tell if its working? [20:25] !compile | philyaw did you see [20:25] philyaw did you see: Compiling software from source?

[20:25] ubermensch: then log off and back in [20:25] how do you figure out which touchpad driver is being used [20:26] triple_x, I'll try that in a second and let you know of the results. I'm gonna try disabling desktop effects first, then revert to the native ubuntu graphics driver, and see if either of those solve my problem. You'd think a graphics card from 2000 would run flawlessly by now. ;) [20:26] ubermensch: or run : sudo gdm restart (same effect) [20:26] kpackagekit (GUI to aptitude) tells me I have 61 blocked updates. What are blocked updates and where could they come from? [20:27] DasEil: $ sudo gdm restart [20:27] ** (gdm-binary:8148): WARNING **: Failed to acquire org.gnome.DisplayManager [20:27] ** (gdm-binary:8148): WARNING **: Could not acquire name; bailing out [20:27] unapiedra: it's often from packages currently in use, can try sudo init 1 , then netroot, then dpk.. to avoid this [20:27] Is that ok?

[20:27] ok [20:28] i have install xmule, is in the menu network but not to run [20:28] philyaw: after downloading and unpacking there are several steps. 1) read README and INSTALL, 2) do what is stated there (mostly run ./configure, then make) [20:28] I logged in from ubuntu live cd DasEi [20:28] unapiedra: not always, if you think of the desktop itself f.e.

[20:28] is it because if uuid and fstab [20:29] ??? [20:29] opened [20:29] what is the difference in K3B between normal copy and clone copy ? [20:29] thrillERboy: sudo apt-get install pastebinit === rbellamy_ is now known as rbellamy [20:30] grayhane, normal is a filesystem copy, clone is byte by byte copy [20:30] Baobab displays /mnt/sda5/home/ed as containing 10.5GB's worth of files, yet its contents including hidden files don't seem to add up to nearly that! How bizarre! [20:30] grayhane: clone is sectorwise, copy just the content [20:30] hi guys i got something wierd when i open gparted in my computer another copy will appear of my partitions. is it because if uuid and fstab how i can solve any help??? [20:30] Anyone here familiar with setting up httpd.conf? [20:30] I have a question: is there any other way to gain root access without a password? [20:30] safemode [20:31] sshfs broek [20:31] I can't unmount it, because its being used. I use lsof to find out what's using it so I can kill it, but lsof hangs.. [20:31] which is best for making a copy of a music CD ? [20:31] bU1137pr00f_m4r5: or a live cd [20:31] so about root on this 64 bit ubuntu maybe i got wrong one by getting desktop? [20:31] brasero grayhane [20:31] DasEi E: Couldn't find package pastebinit [20:31] trism: some time ago you posted something which involved gconf-editor - how do you find your way through that maze within gconf? is there some sort of "map" or guide?

[20:32] ZykoticK9, which setting is best for making a copy of a music CD [20:33] grayhane, probably normal - clone is typically used for copying copy protected materials [20:33] I'm trying to run exploits on BT4 and I need to have HTTPD set document root as /var/www/ but it's not working anymore: It say's No IP Address Configured! Even though apache starts fine and I'm connected to the AP [20:33] It's driving me nuts [20:33] DasEil: so without password there is no way to access root privilages from say an http/https connection [20:33] DasEi http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m3a5fff5a === hugoSthlm is now known as hugo [20:34] ZykoticK9, thanks, [20:34] triple_x, disabling desktop effects solved my maximization/fullscreen issues with totem and VLC. Mplayer is still having issues. But now my problems are minimal. I'm gonna miss having transparency in quake/tilda though. ;( [20:34] You can't Bulletproof: Unless your a hacker genius === hugo is now known as hugoSthlm === hugoSthlm is now known as hugooooooo [20:34] bU1137pr00f_m4r5: no, you would need to compromise the system for that [20:34] You need to find a root shell exploit and maybe inject html with an app that reconnects back to your local host from the target machine, look on milw0rm [20:35] thunderbird 3.0 ? [20:35] You'll still probably need the client to execute your exe app as root though [20:35] one last shot .. so there is no way i can trick fstab to mount a cdrom as rw or make it look like a filesystem so i can just drag and drop the VIDEO_TS folder from it ? [20:35] Hello good night staff would like the cooperation of you on my first web site, created by me, I would like the cooperation of everyone, so you can be accessing my page and click on the banner that is on the first page, the banner and google, the value proceeds will be reversed in a new site. with thanks to all who can help me. [20:36] yes, mount your cdrom to a folder macman_ [20:36] i'm confused I cant seem to be able to search for files on my external drive right now. It's FAT32 and has a load of files on it and I need to find files over 3.9gb (I'm looking for files I batch moved this morning that didn't move fully because they were too big) what am i doing wrong? [20:36] Hey guys, is there an easy way to get a 32bit ffmpeg? [20:36] I have two HDD and I've installed XP in one disk and Ubuntu in the other disk DasEi [20:36] macman_: no, but can extract dvd-content or make a folder to an iso by dd [20:36] ESphynx apt-get install ffmpeg [20:36] ESphynx: medibuntu has ffmpeg. i belive also. [20:36] thrillERboy: aha, paste ? [20:37] '32-bit' (On a 64 bit system) [20:37] I'm trying to install VirtualBox and when it tries to build the kernel modules it gives me this error: http://magikid.pastebay.com/81641 [20:37] DasEi: i don't think you can do encrypted dvd's that way .. these are encrypted dvd's im talking about [20:37] DasEi1: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m3a5fff5a [20:37] thrillERboy: then you should change boot-sequence in bios, prbly win is alreaady in grub there [20:37] ESphynx do you have lib32 support ? [20:37] magikid: Make sure you have your kernel headers... [20:37] Wieshka, I have lib32 support [20:37] I just compiled my virtualbox two minutes ago [20:37] If I understand correctly what that means... I run 32 bit apps [20:38] So I have make it boot from the HDD with Grub? === sale_ is now known as sale [20:38] thrillERboy: Use DVD rip to get the files then either use that to build a new unencrypted dvd or transcode to your fav media type [20:38] ESphynx: why do you even want to do that? theres 64bit bersions of ffmpeg. [20:38] thrillERboy: you installed ubuntu on the 1 TB disk using ntfs ? [20:38] I just noticed karmic has python 2.6, and no 2.5. So ubuntu is fully upgraded to the latest python? There are no 2.5 dependencies?? Im surprised. I thought it would be more work to get things working on 2.6 since it doesn't maintain backwards compatibility. [20:38] Dr_Willis, I know there are 64 bit versions... But I want the 32 bit version, for my 32 bit application [20:39] No, I deleted one partition and made it for Ubuntu, It was Ext4 I guess DasEi1 [20:39] libavcodec/format, is what I want [20:39] !who | thrillERboy [20:39] thrillERboy: 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 :) [20:39] So what do you need thrillERboy? [20:39] DasEil: how would you go about doing that? The only reason why i ask is something my uncle told me who was in intelligence. I need to know if it is possible for agencies to Patriot Act a linux system. [20:39] ESphynx: thats still not very clear. [20:39] Dr_Willis, I want to build my 32 bit application that requires 32 bit ffmpeg libraries [20:40] thrillERboy: ah sure, but did no swap then [20:40] You would have to consider how smart their agencies hackers are and who they would hire to target you for instance: What types of things make you a target [20:40] thrillERboy: so make bios boot from the 1 tb, grub should already be there [20:40] There are plenty of exploits out there for linux systems [20:40] Okey DasEi1 I'll try that and report back [20:41] mcurran: thanks, that fixed it. It would've been nice if that was included in the dependencies. [20:41] Thanks a lot DasEi1 [20:41] err, that would be python3. nevermind. [20:41] m1dlg, Did you find the answer to that? If not "find /path/to/drive -size +3900M -print" should do what you're after [20:41] can somebody tell me what is this: dda4b60b159bb0b37887ac2e5db0d6cd [20:41] obaid, looks like some kind of hash [20:41] Kieran0413, i found an alternative way, thanks you [20:42] which kind of hash [20:42] bU1137pr00f_m4r5: Yes, linux can fall under the Patriot Act just as any other OS does. [20:42] bU1137pr00f_m4r5: that's behind the scope of that channel; you could hijack / hook systemcallls, grab privileges rom root actions on that machine.. wrong place here [20:42] DreamDemon, u are joking, right ?

So if your doing something for fear of the govt seing it, I would suggest an encrypted drive system [20:43] triple_x, solved my mplayer problem. It wasn't using the xv driver by default for some reason. First time I've ever seen that on 3 systems. So really it was two coincidental problems. [20:43] obaid, where did it come from? that might help determine what it is [20:44] i searched google for my login name, and found a text file with many username passwords, including mine [20:45] obaid, sounds like it's a password file, I'd guess the hash is a hash of your password. Not so good. [20:45] DreamDemon, DasEi1: Well then I guess I should put my Anarchist's Cookbook on a removable drive then... ^_^' [20:45] yep [20:45] I am having problem with internet connection , someone can help me with that ? [20:45] So my CPU Freq selector stops working after a few days. It just rests at 800mhz. This is something new over the last few weeks. (9.04 x64) What would cause this? [20:45] NoOneHere, you're right, we cant hear a thing.

Such as a subscribed website? it might be a database dump? [20:46] bU1137pr00f_m4r5, they can do anything; there is no defense. [20:46] i just installed ubuntu and have no idea how i connect internet on it , i am using this moden for connection http://broadband.motorola.com/consumers/products/sb4200/ [20:46] bu1137pr00f_m4r5: make sure it's encrypted [20:47] it is a forum i registered with once [20:47] bu1137pr00f_m4r5 Every cell phone conversation in the us has been recorded since early 2000 anyway. Not a lot of point in it... [20:47] I have no sound output on my laptop and the sound is all the way up [20:47] hmmm .... at now, i have crontab rule, whats makes to turn off my screensaver and DPMS, where can i do it by default, i mean in config file [20:47] NoOneHere: can you run a trml on it now ? [20:47] You can easily sniff usernames and passwords - That is the easiest thing to do when a client is connected - I can do it in about five minutes or less (ettercapng) [20:47] obaid, it's likely just a database dump of theirs, if you share the password you use for that forum with other things I'd suggest changing them.

[20:57] mneptok, i only get a thing called sound preferences and nothing is muted [20:58] lsisa? [20:58] Jp82191: open a terminal and type "alsamixer" (no quotes) [20:58] NoOneHere: bad idea. use the account it had you create when you installed and do sudo for everything. You should not need to log into root as it poses some security risks, esp with you being directly connected to the internet [20:58] bah [20:58] It's amazing some of the bad habits/uneducated habits people have [20:59] ok i get a bunch of bars [20:59] Jp82191: anything muted? [20:59] I have an ubuntu-server installation with two NICs. One is connected to a cable modem, the other to a LAN. If (and only if) I disable the one connected to the LAN (in /etc/networking/interfaces) I can connect to the internet. Otherwise, I can't. What gives?\ [20:59] frallzor: in general, there isn't, since almost anything could be connected to it, and unlike pci, there is no standard for probe and response for serial devices.

[21:02] DasEil: http://pastebin.com/d18705076 [21:02] jMyles: if you have two interfaces, you generally need to configure forwarding to have packets flow between them. I forget how to do that. You'll have to look it up... [21:02] grayhane: yess, read man dd [21:03] DasEi1, thank you [21:03] mneptok, i turned pcm all the way up do i need to restart it to get sound? [21:03] grayhane, ISO no but an image yes - bin/cue type thing [21:03] Jp82191, you shouldn't have to [21:03] Jp82191: nope [21:03] grayhane: what do you do want to do with it in the end? [21:03] Losha: For now, I just want to connect to the internet at all. Next I'll worry about packets flowing between the two interfaces. I believe I enabled this anyhow, though, by editing /etc/sysctl.conf [21:04] ok [21:04] still not getting sound [21:04] and pcm,master, and headphones is all the way up [21:04] Jp82191: lspci -vvv [21:04] Losha, I want to make image files to store in a hard drive to back up my CD music discs so I can replace one if needed [21:04] jMyles: next thing to check is the routing table (netstat -rn) to make sure it's not routing all packets over the new interface & ignoring the old one... [21:05] Jp82191: find out who makes the sound device, look for other people having issues with a Google, Ubuntu wiki, or forums search [21:05] Losha: Can you point me to a guide that describes the router table for a beginner. [21:05] DreamDemon: you here ? [21:05] grayhane, you'd probably be best looking at ripping using something lossless, like flac, that way you get compression as well. [21:05] jMyles: looks coorect to me, with both nics conncted, what does ifconfig show and what happens if you run : sudo dhclient ? [21:06] grayhane: I would rip the audio tracks to disk using cparanoia (or if you want a gui app, grip) as wav files (or mp3 if you don't mind some quality loss) [21:06] Kieran0413, I agree, but with Flac I cannot recreate the exact CD it came from [21:06] i am not sure that sudo pppoeconfig is what i need [21:06] anyone know if there is a way to dynamically create mountpoints with mount --bind ? [21:07] i am not using phone conection [21:07] because i have two sound icons and in the hardware tab of one there is not hardware listed there [21:07] mythral, what?? [21:08] any idea ? [21:08] DasEil: everything looks peachy when I run dhclient [21:08] hi, i just rebooted, and at the logo screen, there was a box flashed up, "warning one or more" but i never got a chance to read the rest, where can i find that message? [21:08] jMyles: I don't see anything that looks good for beginners. I do see things like: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=314457 [21:08] DasEil: ifconfig looks pretty normal too - I can't easily pastebin it because the server in question is not online [21:09] joshua__: yeh, like mkdir /mnt/bar; mount --bind /foo/bar /mnt/bar -> just mount --bind /foo/bar /mnt, and the /mnt/foo mount point is dynamically created [21:09] * Jp82191 is going nuts [21:09] mythral, sorry but I don't think that works [21:10] I know it doesn't thatw why I'm asking === crowd is now known as Tarik [21:10] you see, kernel cannot lookup the name in the directory so cannot find the dev/inode pair it used as the mountpoint [21:10] NoOneHere: http://broadband.motorola.com/consumers/products/sb4200/downloads/SB4200_Installation_and_Troubleshooting.pdf, see box in upper right corner [21:10] yetifoot, you'll probably be able to find it in /var/log/messages [21:10] How do I download the latest headers? [21:10] I'm using the version of libwebkit from the PPA. Yesterday, when I'd go to start Chromium or any other WebKit-based app, like Software Center or Liferea I get this error: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libwebkit-1.0.so.2: undefined symbol: soup_content_decoder_get_type [21:11] NoOneHere: * left corner [21:11] I think there's something wrong with libsoup but I can't tell what. [21:11] Kieran0413, thanks, but it's not there [21:11] !headers | philyaw [21:11] philyaw: To install the Linux (kernel) headers, open a terminal and: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) To install headers for libraries, you need the accompanying -dev packages [21:11] yetifoot: proberly 'one of more filesysems need fscked' i think i recall seeing those messages also. [21:11] Today Chromium updated so it works now, but anything else Webkit doesn't work. [21:11] yetifoot, try dmesg [21:12] I need a howto to make a form based on a relation between two tables (base) I am not able to make a form which shows the related field in the table with the primary key [21:12] joshua__: the kernel? mount could just use something simular to basedir, the kernel uses something simular when mounting stuff from fstab? [21:12] grayhane: with Flac you should be able to recreate the original CD. You rip the CD to wav files, then encode in flac. To recreate, you reverse the process and burn the wav files. The end result should be identical (except for unimportant details) [21:12] ubottu, how do I get those packages? [21:12] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:12] Dr_Willis, i think i know what it is, i've got a bad sector, i just searched "ubuntu one or more" and it seems it's that message [21:12] mythral_, the heck it does === hades_ is now known as dcosta [21:12] !brain | philyaw [21:12] philyaw: Hi!

Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [21:16] Alien_Freak, I don't really know of any for ubuntu specifically, but aside from installing the packages it's fairly generic, ubuntu (as far as I know) does nothing special with asterisk config === Tarik is now known as crowd [21:16] guntbert, doesnt work [21:17] doesn't open the GUI app, anyway [21:17] toehio_: whats it's sounds like ? [21:17] okay. Good to know. [21:17] robbins61, you're probably looking for "gksu nvidia-settings" not xconfig [21:17] HOla [21:17] guntbert: didn't know that command needs X to function (I'm not used to configuring X within X) [21:17] Hello! I tried to clone a hdd (80G) which has 3 OSes in it to a larger drive (500G) using dd and now gparted tells me my new hard drive is only 450G big (like I lost around 50 gigas). Any ideas guys?

[21:19] DasEi: but when I had the sound working (before all the crashes), it wasn't perfect - it was kinda high-pitched and only sounded right on 4.0 and not 5.1 [21:19] BlueG, the first step would be to trace the cause of it, then reproduce it. [21:19] r0k3tm3n: ask in ##security or ##networking [21:19] BlueG: those are very hard to diagnose, and most often are caused by hardware issues.... [21:19] I.e. How should [21:19] guntbert: thnx [21:19] guntbert: well since I don't use sudo myself anymore... [21:19] r0k3tm3n: Good luck :-) [21:19] How would you clone a smaller drive to a larger one?

See !root and !wfm for more information. [21:20] used*, toehio_ [21:20] alexxxxxx, personally, I`d use clonezilla. [21:20] ver: Reproducing it is easy. If the system runs long enough, it freezes. Tracing the cause, I could use some help with. [21:20] one year is sufficient time to learn the established method is just plain old wrong [21:20] !wfm | joshua__ [21:20] joshua__: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ [21:20] DasEi: it's weird how it suddenly stopped working! [21:21] DasEi: also, I booted a ubuntu liveCD and it just worked out of the box! [21:21] toehio_: you stopped plugnplay in bios, too ? [21:21] DasEi: yeah [21:21] joshua__: actually, I know of only one scenario where you need a root password instead of sudo, and it's rare.... [21:21] DasEi: but since I already got it working, I don't think that's the problem [21:21] Losha: It certainly is related to hardware as it occurs only on one computer I have installed Ubuntu on, the Dell Dimension 4500S. But it also occurs with Ubuntu and not with Debian. [21:21] toehio_: in live, you could have lsmod to get the correct modulenames [21:22] guntbert: you obviously did not understand me. I used sudo exclusively for 1 year and concluded it is inferior. [21:22] BlueG, so, you don't do anything, and it locks up? [21:22] DasEi: What do you mean? [21:22] duffydack: ok I'll search it. Can this be apt-get from ubuntu live cd?? [21:22] joshua__: inferior how? [21:22] DasEi: I already know the right module names; they are what this guy modprobed: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=608531 [21:22] toehio_: lsmod shows currently loaded modules, and if there is a diffrence from live to hd-ubuntu got your solution [21:22] alexxxxxx, no its either burn the (small) iso to cd or make a usbstick [21:23] joshua__: I understood pretty well - please do *not* recommend/advice setting a root password *in this channel* [21:23] alexxxxxx, clonezilla.org [21:23] toehio_: I read it, but that was gutsy.. [21:23] duffydack: ok, thanks man [21:23] DasEi: but why should I get all these errors when I try modprobe snd-emu10k1x? [21:23] DasEi: when I tried it before it worked - not anymore though [21:24] Im looking for something like openbox only I dont have to add all the things I download manually to the menu. Any suggestions? [21:24] jrib: you will not believe me anyway [21:24] BlueG: I understand. These are very hard to diagnose. You could look in the logs in /var/log and see if there's any pattern to the freezes, but these are notoriously diffiicult for non-kernel hackers to diagnose. Can you run memtest overnight? [21:24] How do I upgrade irssi's version to the lattest, its like .7 versions behind, or where can I find a more up2date repos? === Sky__ is now known as Skye === Skye is now known as Skyler [21:25] joshua__: try us: we've heard it all.... [21:25] ver: Yes, it is quite random. No particular application has been running every time it happened (except Gnome/X/etc, but nothing I had to start). It has happened when doing any number of things in different applications, when I am away and the screen has locked, and even while I am watching it but not interacting. When it happens, the system responds to nothing but the magic SysRq keys. [21:25] Darkedge, most ubuntu packages are a little bit behind, if you wanna update you'd have to install from source or look for irssi packages more up to date [21:25] Losha: please not again :) === Windows is now known as Guest81929 [21:26] BlueG: is it running a 3d screensaver? [21:26] guntbert: something I've missed? [21:26] hi [21:26] I can't come up with a good reason to use root-acc instead of sudo =) [21:26] Can I upgrate a 32bit ubuntu to a 64 without having the physical access to the server? any hint on that please? [21:26] Kieran0413: ok I'll see what I can find, eh, is it possible to just replace the source file inside the debian package? I don't know much about how .deb's work... [21:26] toehio_: what about an underscore in that name(s) ? easiest way use a live cd and save out from lsmod to a file, then load it in your hd-ubuntu [21:26] would someone explain for me? =D [21:26] Fougner: there isn't one :) [21:26] Losha: may I pm you? [21:27] guntbert: of course... [21:27] DasEi: OK, brb - liveCD time. [21:27] hehe, someone said he had one reason [21:27] ver: no, it just goes to a blank screen. [21:27] I know one btw [21:27] in your phone [21:27] Hiya ubuntu-ians. I'm having an odd problem with my samba server on 9.10. It was working, and I hadn't changed anything and it slowly stopped working. First thing that happened was no users worked except the main one, and now the main user doesn't seem to be working either, as well as the fact that I can't access the server via \\hostname like I use to. I am able to use \\ipaddress to get... [21:27] when you want to root it :D [21:27] ...the listing, but cannot login as per previous problem. Any ideas? [21:27] Guest1929: you can't , fresh install needed [21:27] BlueG: What's the problem? [21:27] Darkedge, to be honest, packaging it up seems a bit pointless hassle, you'd be best just installing from source if you want the latest. [21:28] blueG: and this identical system has no issues with debian? [21:28] sorry, what does end mean in print('something', end='') [21:28] Thanks DasEi. [21:28] Kieran0413: I've haven't done MUCH compiling from source, but isn't there someway you can remove it, I thought it was sudo make uninstall [21:28] datr: ask in the channel for the language you are programming in [21:28] Kieran0413: cause I might wanta remove it again so... [21:28] sorry i couldnt connect it :( [21:28] Darkedge, that depends entirely on whether the make file for irssi has the option, I'm not too sure to be honest.

[21:29] Darkedge: use "sudo checkinstall" instead of make install, it will create a deb and install that; removable with dpkg -r [21:29] ver: that is right, the same machine has no issues with Debian 5.0, or when using the kernel from backports on Debian. [21:30] Darkedge: you can uninstall things that have been installed with make install using make uninstall (if you're lucky). But, you can also install with checkinstall which makes a deb package you can uninstall. I suggest re-installing with checkinstall (just run sudo checkinstall instead of sudo make install). It will now know where it is installed and you can uninstall the deb. [21:30] español?? [21:30] Darkedge: random freezing of the entire system. [21:30] BlueG, in that case, if you have a second system, i'd recommend logging the kernel messages (dmesg output) via a serial port to another PC [21:30] !es | jose__ [21:30] jose__: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés.

I believe just fine about user vs. root but using sudo or any other method of logging in as user then becoming root just stopped making sense after awhile. You see, first it was sudo command, then sudo sh -c 'command' but I always got the quoting [21:35] rules wrong so it was sudo -i (and oh look the log files are now useless) then finally back to logging in as root again. Once upon a time I used to recommend this configuration where the root password was blank but logging in as root anywhere but the console wasn't going to work, but I find now I no longer believe...

[22:03] Kieran8413, what do you mean?.. I am behind a router, but I don't think that answers your question. [22:03] DasEi, well idone it from sudo mkdir /media/sda1 to sudo mkdir /media/sda8 [22:03] paste and enter [22:03] JakobSteinn, No, I just wondered because if it's on your gateway, you might have bound vsftpd to the wrong interface, just wanted to rule that out.

[22:07] FTP over WAN is a bad practice anyway. [22:08] Kieran8413, How can you be shure that it isn't my gateway? [22:08] DasEi, wanna me to share the result? or this should correct the error ? [22:08] ameer2x: scroll down that file add lines /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 user,auto,exec 0 0 [22:08] JakobSteinn, Because you mentioned the box was behind a router. [22:08] Hey people, where is the ubuntu vga list? [22:08] JakobSteinn, so it was just a guess based on that [22:08] ameer2x: just follow my instructions, be ready in less than 5 minutes [22:09] I do have FTP on both my server (vsftpd) and laptop (gshare), but they are restricted to LAN usage only.

(I don't know how to ping). [22:39] karma_police: rw are nice to re-cycle, but burn a lot slower [22:39] Why is it not working [22:40] karma_police: it's not so much quality as *compatibility*. Best compatibility with commercial players is with dvd-r, and some brands work better than others. Also, burning slower (4x) can make a difference to whether it plays or not. You [22:40] Awesome3000, it looks much bigger now. But it is still about 1" around perimeter of going full screen. Display preferences shows 1152x864.

[22:42] mom_: hence the "stable" part in the name. karmic is built upon debian unstable. [22:42] Losha, no that was pretty buggy too [22:43] DasEi: If I just do "sudo modprobe snd" I get FATAL: Error inserting snd (/lib/modules/2.6.31-16-generic/updates/alsa/acore/snd.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) [22:43] Does anyone know where I could get WebKit 1.1.17 as a binary (.deb or download from Synaptic)?

[23:18] acicula: it appears that the error returns even though I try to remove them.... [23:19] Guys this is a serious question I'm considering using it as a replacement for XP so that my Mum can use it [23:19] then dual boot XP so I can play games on the same machine [23:19] Aled: Do you want your mom to hate you? [23:19] No [23:19] acicula: But wait, after I close the error box, the broken dependencies are gone... [23:19] lol [23:19] brianherman_home, LOL!!! [23:19] brianherman_home: hehe [23:20] Aled it is considerd more secure as most virus are targeted at windoze [23:20] But she's all about "OH I HOPE THE COMPUTER IS SECURE" all the time and I thought is Ubuntu more secure [23:20] Aled: then dont install linux on her computer [23:20] it's my computer [23:20] she just leeches off it [23:20] There is a free online open source game that something like WOW but I can't remember it-help anyone. [23:20] Aled: .... [23:20] all she does is go on the internet [23:20] Aled: All she wants is something usable. [23:20] jroc_: alien arena ? also wow works in wine [23:20] Aled: Do you live in the same house? [23:20] Aled: Your mom torrent? o.O (Ya, Ubuntu is more safe and stability than XP). [23:20] Yes, brian [23:20] acicula: yesterday I had found this website and follow the guidelines, could you check to see if there's any problem that it held? http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ipod-touch-3g-sync-over-usb-without-jailbraking-in-ubuntu-karmic.html/comment-page-1#comments [23:20] Aled: I'd say it's more secure if you stick to trusted repositories, yes. If she just uses the internet, just make sure you sit down with her the first time and set-up any plug-ins she needs/uses, then it should be fine [23:21] Aled: Then its your mom's computer because she owns the house. [23:21] .... [23:21] plytheman, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI [23:21] I built the computer [23:21] DasEi, it's like Sims ..sorry [23:21] Aled: That doesnt matter, your mom wants a computer that she can use. [23:21] for my personal use specificially [23:21] jroc_, http://www.savage2.com/en/main.php maybe? [23:21] Aled: Yet she still uses it... [23:21] yeah, I allow her to use it, but she allows me to install whatever I want on it, considering it's my computer [23:21] that dosen't matter [23:22] DasEi: Thank you so much for all your time and help! I really appreciate it! [23:22] is there a "recommend" or something command for this channel that can recommend apps for ubuntu? [23:22] I asked her if I could install Ubuntu on it for her [23:22] highclasshole, thanks, I'll read through that now [23:22] toehio_: rock on [23:22] Were can I file bug reports? is there a buzilla for ubuntu like there is for fedoroa or is the website http://ubuntuforums.org/ the best place to do this?

[23:23] highclasshole, sounds good, thanks a ton! [23:23] Aled, if your mom doesn't know anything about computers, its better to just stay with Windows [23:23] Aled: Do you hate your mother? [23:23] DasEi: thank you [23:23] No [23:23] I'm using my Linux lappy vice scanning for bugs on my Win 7 lappy [23:23] Aled: Then buy another slow computer to use linux on [23:24] JottBe : you're still struggling with that harddrive not being installable ? [23:24] Aled: Linux doesn't requre much [23:24] both OS's can be vulnerable if she doesn't know what shes doing. Windows is usually better at dialogs and fool proof [23:24] Aled: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/security [23:24] Aleds, its a decision you have to make--we can't make it for you. Do what you think is right. [23:24] is there a "recommend" or something command for this channel that can recommend apps for ubuntu?

[23:25] mkanyic: i don't do tech support, so yes, Windows 7/Vista works perfect [23:25] Guest65427: clarify what you mean. [23:25] Guest65427: Once you go linux, you never go back. [23:25] ocean, go to ubuntu's website and use the package search [23:25] Hello people, I really need a new laptop, and I want it to run ubuntu well, is there a list I can get of laptops known to work well with Ubuntu? Thanks [23:26] Ok so your recommending me to just reinstall XP for her [23:26] Guest65427: Do you still have two partitions on your drive? [23:26] Leif: check the forums. and what various linux-laptop-computer web sites sell [23:26] no problem [23:26] Guest65427, you can dual boot, if thats what you are referring to, or use a windows installation cd to reinstall [23:26] what is the trick to get Facebook Chat to work in Pidgin? [23:26] Aled: do what you want. thats the bottom line. [23:26] Ubuntu doesn't have firewall disabled by default right? [23:26] I can't figure linux out well enough and neew to go back to windows. My drivers don't work right, my system won't play games, and in windows it all works. No one can seem to help me fix my graphic driver issues [23:26] Blue1: http://code.google.com/p/pidgin-facebookchat/ [23:26] hmm, where in here is the download option for this ? I only see a "download" on left menu, which points to the main menu of alsa drivers [23:26] Blue1: Idk why thats not merged into the trunk [23:26] Dr_Willis, Okay. Thanks. I was hoping for a list to make life simpler, but I guess that will work. [23:26] Honestly I was planning on installing Ubuntu for her with internet access, then dual booting XP without internet access [23:26] hmm, where in here is the download option for this ? I only see a "download" on left menu, which points to the main menu of alsa drivers http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-sbawe [23:27] acicula: did you read my post yet? [23:27] Leif: theres dell's preinstgalled laptops - thats rather simple. :) [23:27] then she would just have to press ENTER when turning the computer on to load Ubuntu [23:27] Guest65427, what kind of card [23:27] Aled sounds good possible a newer windows [23:27] Leif: other then that. find a laptop with the featuresyou want and value/price and reserach it. [23:27] Dr_Willis, He, he. Okay, thanks. :) [23:27] i don't know if i still have the windows partition or not. When i went to linux i had to cause my computer didn't come with re-install windows disk, just the product key [23:27] Aled: or not even enter [23:27] Leif: i would avoid any with ati video. [23:27] acicula: I'm still trying to reinstall the packages that was removed but it still give me the error. [23:27] gx270 integrated 865 graphics card [23:28] Dr_Willis, Okay, thanks. What about AMD processors? [23:28] DasEi, what do you mean? [23:28] Hey is it just me or did ubuntu 9.10 really jump up in the minimum install size since 9.04? [23:28] Guest65427: many pc makers are so cheap they wont include the disks any more. but include a special restore partition that you may need to 'boot' via some special key combo or the bios [23:28] Aled: you can make ubuntu just boot to desktop and a ceratin user account without any interaction [23:28] Can anyone help me get MIDI working in kubuntu? I'm trying to update some musical gear with a MIDI to USB cable, but when the program that updates it tries to connect it tells me that the "MIDI Device is Busy" [23:28] Leif: ive no issues with amd cpus. Just intel video. :) that and the wireless chipsets are teh biggest 'issues' to watch for [23:28] Guest65427: Really nice for when your hard disk crashes and you no longer have a way to install your OS :) [23:29] Aled: *certain [23:29] DasEi, how would I switch to Windows when I want to though? [23:29] well I bought mine from a mom and pops computer store so its been refurbished and most likely does not have that partition [23:29] Aled: preees esc in grub, choose other entry (win) [23:29] Guest65427: looks like you will need to track down some windows disks then to go with your 'key' [23:29] DasEi: wow thats a nice tool! (ubuntu-bug) [23:29] i don't know how to do that though [23:29] Guest65427 if you want windows you probly have to fork out for it [23:30] JottBe: what are you filing? [23:30] Guest65427: Try #windows :D [23:30] acicula: Hi, are you there.....?? [23:30] DasEi: that install does not recognize my partitions altough I can see them using fdisk [23:30] hi guys [23:30] i would keep ubuntu if only i could actually get games to work properly.

[23:33] Is there a way to do an ubuntu install off the livecd that DOESN'T take up 2 gigs of disk space? [23:33] No [23:33] yeah that could do it. [23:34] Telek: no, not from live cd [23:34] Telek, you can do the minimal install, but not from a Live CD [23:34] pavumeter show pulseaudio sending sound to out [23:34] I'm having a problem with reinstalling my dependencies and it gave me an error http://www.ubuntu.pastebin.com/d2ff941b3 [23:34] but no sound [23:34] can anyone help me with Facebook chat in Pidgin?

No sound there either. [23:35] Telek, do you have space constraints? [23:35] but not any sound [23:35] philyaw, but remember that if you were dualbooting with windows, you might not be able to boot to windows because of GRUB [23:35] talented: Yes, a 2 gig partition on a 4 gig flash drive :) [23:36] philyaw: yes.. [23:36] hello?

[23:36] I've rebooted 2 timer [23:36] times* [23:36] mkanyicy, is there a way around this? [23:37] talented: Where is the minimal install cd located?

[23:37] I guess [23:37] I just want my wireless card to work [23:37] highclasshole, no [23:37] you'd need an active internet connection though, to get packages you may want on it [23:37] and I got errors doing every set of instructions for this distro [23:38] philyaw, but you say you will install Mint which is also linux [23:38] Yeah [23:38] An Ubuntu version right?

[23:39] DasEi: no [23:39] philyaw, it's fine if you have to install mint, you don't even have to delete kubuntu partition by yourself, the installation process of Mint will make you choose a partition and format it [23:40] DasEi: I am trying to get it to work on my netbook (netbook remix) [23:40] ashka, not sure bud, hard to say, sounds like something silly though [23:40] Blue1: no idea then plugin should work (I'm no facebook user) [23:40] DasEi: it's installed, and configured, it just won't connect [23:40] philyaw, mint is fine, good distro. just install it to the kubuntu partition. during the mint install just point it to where kubuntu is now. [23:40] i'll reboot, never know.

[23:50] ocean: Okay. [23:50] philyaw, dual booting Is different. you can delete kubuntu from windows or delete wubi. when you install mint from the liveCD it will want to repartition your disc. backup your windows system before you do the install [23:50] philyaw, i think you can boot windows, then go to START -> ALL PROGRAMS then i don't know whether there'll be wubi or kubuntu there and uninstall [23:51] any window that launches does not get focus and I have to click on it even when it is in the for ground [23:51] ubuntu 9.10 [23:51] philyaw, yeah, you have to log in in windows, there is no separate partition for kubuntu [23:51] #math [23:51] gnome [23:51] is there a logfile for apt-get I can check for errors?
