[00:00] I have a debian file server (samba and nfs) I created a folder for each server (/server and /nfs) What should the permissions be on these folders? Who should own them? [00:02] I installed vlc couple of days ago on my ubuntu 9.10 but it doesn't work. I cannot read mp3. If I had the files in the library it shows lenght = 0 and nothing happen if I press play. I also tried to launch it from the terminal in debug mode and it says playlist empty .. even if I have added music ... Anyone already had this kind of issues with VLC ? [00:03] mkanycy i don't know if u want I can post lspci output [00:04] thesabry: aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras [00:04] edbian, if this is a share for a specific person, have their account/group own it [00:04] Can anyone help me? [00:04] I've been having a problem with Ubuntu. [00:04] edbian, you have to specify in the configuration for samba what access users will have [00:04] nashirak, if you can get to 8.04, you'll be able to upgrade directly to 10.04 in april, the next LTS. otherwise you have to go through each distro. maybe best to backup or copy your files and clean install .. === mac9416 is now known as macEats [00:05] Anyone know how to fix this?? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m39cb9b5b [00:05] highclasshole, Thank you [00:05] whats your problem [00:05] Hello! Anyone knows why gparted might report smaller size for a hdd? (a 500gb hdd is reported as a 465gb hdd) thanks [00:05] There's this constant drumming noise. [00:05] It won't stop. [00:05] alexxxxxx: filesystems.. [00:05] I don't know what to do. [00:06] LA1, I suggest inviting people over and gathering in a circle. [00:06] blakkheim: what about them? [00:06] greenlynx: The only thing I can think of is create a 7.10 disk from a repositiory... Upgrade to that then imediatly upgrade to 8.04 with another distro disk. Would that work? My only concern are the repository servers for 7.10 are probably not there [00:06] alexxxxxx: that's (part of) the answer to your question [00:06] LOl. [00:06] But seriously. XD [00:06] LA1, you try restarting x? [00:07] highclasshole thank you..and what about the wifi card? no way to let it go? [00:07] Well, I can't right now. [00:07] I'm downloading the 9.10 update. [00:07] I'm hoping that'll make it stop. [00:07] hello! during boot process I get the error "couldn't acces pid file for nmbd-........-........" (The dots represent some numbers but I'm not sure which. I think it isn't that important.) Boot progress hangs up there, no matter whether you're waiting 5 minutes or 5 hours... any ideas what is wrong there? [00:07] alexxxxxx: the other part is gigabytes vs gibibytes [00:07] edoardo, is that article not both? what kind of a wireless card did you say [00:07] How can i modify kernel arguments on karmic? /boot/grub/menu.1st seens to have vanished..? [00:08] blakkheim: so ure saying gparted is reporting the s of the disk's partitions instead of the device's actual size? [00:08] I have Realtek 8192 as wifi card [00:08] the Atheros one is the Ethernet one [00:08] alexxxxxx: no. [00:08] I'm trying to compile the kernel from source and get this failure http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m39cb9b5b , any ideas? [00:08] *the sum* [00:09] D [00:09] edoardo, you said you did use ndiswrapper? [00:10] yes I did [00:10] !pm | thesabry [00:10] thesabry: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [00:10] but it did not work [00:10] Is it possible and if so, how, to access the HD on which wubi was installed? [00:10] blakkheim: fdisk -l reports correct size (500gb) so it isn't a gigabytes vs gibibytes issue right? [00:11] alexxxxxx: Harddrive sizes are listed in metrics by the manufacturer, but gparted and most programs list sizes with binary prefix. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_prefix [00:11] hey I need to do "sudo iwconfig wlan0 txpower auto" sometime at bootup, and I'm not really sure how to get it to run as root and do it at the right point... You see my wlan card won't set txpower right in 9.10... [00:11] does gnome-network-manager generally restrict wireless adapters? [00:12] edoardo, http://rapidshare.com/files/300697346/rtl8192efirmware.zip.html [00:13] edoardo, what;s your lspci -v | grep Network? [00:13] edoardo, that should be the firmware you need [00:13] alexxxxxx: 465 GiB = 465*1024*1024*1024 = 499289948160 bytes ~= 500GB [00:13] actually my bad, you need the 2.6.32.2 kernel with the 8192 staging drivers [00:14] geirha: so fdisk -l does not report size with binary prefix? [00:14] Anyone know hwo to fix this?? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m39cb9b5b [00:15] greenlynx http://paste.ubuntu.com/354183/ [00:15] alexxxxxx: Indeed, it uses the units correctly. GB meaning 10^9 bytes. [00:16] highclasshole I think so too, but how can I do if I need the 2.6.28 because of the LAN and 2.6.32 because of the wireless? [00:16] youngbull, add "wireless-txpower auto" under the wlan0 interface on the /etc/network/interfaces. reading through "man interfaces" and "man iwconfig" might help [00:16] hello [00:17] anyone using lokalize?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [00:17] sorry [00:17] I just added a couple of proyectos to lokalize and now It seems impossible to remove them [00:18] I even reinstalled and deleted the directory where the proyect was located [00:18] still appears in the proyect list [00:18] I have a problem compiling a git kernel.. I'm running 2.6.31-14-server and get this at the end of the compile: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m39cb9b5b Any ideas? [00:19] edoardo, karmic? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Realtek%208172 [00:19] alexxxxxx: Unfortunately, gtk applications which list sizes, usually use MB and GB while the numbers are actually listed in MiB and GiB etc. The gtk developers will not see reason on this, refusing to follow the joint iso/iec-80000 standard. [00:19] greenlynx, nice find [00:19] hi is there a coutdown app for dates? [00:20] geirha: same goes with acronis disk director [00:21] Grub2 question: What setting do i change to show the kernel list at boot? currently it loads the first without any prompt [00:21] hello all. anyone can help with alsa/pulseaudio issues ? not sure whats happening but my sound gets stuck/chopppy irregularly...but I think its mainly when browsing intensive besides having spottify run under wine. is anyone able to help me on this ?

[00:26] dart: For 32bit Flash Support -- See !flash ; For 64bit Flash Support See !flash64 [00:26] LetsGo67: you need a capture card [00:26] could someone give me a hint on debugging choppy sound ? just happens when using other system resources besides my music player running. How do I find out if its pulseaudio or alsa ? I cannot see anything in syslog or dmesg [00:26] * danopia_ wonders if !flash64 takes the interaction bug into play [00:26] ilumi: got it, but how do I use it? [00:26] i get flash off of adobe's site for 64-bit linux [00:27] Looking for a popular online open source, I think it's like the Sims [00:27] LetsGo67: u're into osx86 huh? :D [00:27] danopia_: ubuntu-restricted-extras === stroyan_ is now known as stroyan [00:27] alexxxxxx nope [00:27] TDJACR, does that have the versoin that works?

[00:27] LetsGo67: well, you need a capture card that has drivers for linux, and then you need some kind of software that plays tv, and suppots your capture card [00:27] the one apt gave me had a huge issue where you can't click or type into flash movies [00:28] LetsGo67: Sorry wrong nick [00:28] ilumi: how do I do all of that? [00:28] ubuntu forums had a small two-liner script to grab a fresh copy off adobe's site and install it [00:28] it worked better [00:28] Possibly [00:28] Can Debian repositories be added to Ubuntu?

I saw your last one now.. [00:30] kinja-sheep, and the straight-64-bit version from adobe worked for me [00:30] youngbull, you need the first two lines that tells which interface (iface) you are setting such a setting to, for example, how is your system supposed to know that line alone should be applied to wlan0?

[00:32] io [00:33] sono [00:33] italiano [00:33] jroc_: I used vlc but it says that's not able to play AVC1 [00:33] alexxxxxx: I have a dual boot .. I am using ubuntu and my girlfirend prefere mac os x .. everybody's happy [00:34] I believe with AVC1 you need the divix codecs to get them to work correctly [00:34] mithridates, try a different file to make sure the file isn't bad [00:34] thesabry: are u using hfs+ as readonly ? [00:36] alexxxxxx: no rwx access .. totem and other players have no problem accessing this partition .. it is only an issue with vlc .. they are aware of it but they do not want to fix it .. they are blaming hfs+ driver instead [00:36] jroc_: FrozenNorth : I'm trying to figure it out and it's about two weeks , there is no common issue .

[00:37] mithridates, sudo apt-get install w32codecs mplayer ffmpeg vlc [00:38] mkanyicy: I've installed these things previously , should I use sudo apt-get install --reinstall w32codecs mplayer ffmpeg vlc ? [00:38] mithridates, no [00:39] mithridates, including the good, bad and ugly plugins of gstreamer ? [00:39] mkanyicy: I installed lots of things and I removed lots of things also , let me to check it [00:39] I know this maybe the wrong area to ask, but let me try anyways. I am going to run multiple things on my rack server running Ubuntu Server 64 bit. Has anyone had the experience of setting up a CS 1.6 dedicated server before on Ubuntu? [00:39] where the heck is ~/.xinitrc ? [00:39] mkanyicy: yes they are installed [00:40] I set a lot of stuff in add/remove, and it downloaded, I got called away, and when I came back the power was out, I saw it finish downloading, so I know I have everything I wanted, It just wasn't installed, It looks like it only installed like 3 programs before the power went out, anyone know an easy way to install all these without going to each individual package file? [00:40] hiatus_: that's like asking "where is my car in the garage?" ~/.xinitrc is a path. [00:40] why does Places -> Home say there is no application registered as handling this file? [00:40] hiatus_, ~/.xinitrc = /home/youruser/.xinitrc [00:40] mkanyicy: how can I remove every thing about media then I use default of ubuntu? because it's going to have dirty packages [00:41] I've just been attacked by a worm [00:41] hiatus_: why are you looking for it? [00:41] hiatus_, if you do cd ~ in the terminal and type ls -alh you will see it [00:41] Aled: why do you believe that? [00:41] I've backed up all my important files I'm installing Ubuntu 9..20 [00:41] *9.10 [00:41] hello 2 things. I have gotten rid of empathy and installed pidgin (on 9.10). When I alter my "status" via the button/dropdown from the upper-right corner, it signs off my MSN accounts on pidgin with the reason being my accounts signed in elsewhere. Any idea how to fix this? [00:41] task manager and regedit access blocked [00:41] thats what I thought, but I dont see it there. Yes, I am showing my hidden folders [00:41] Aled: oh /on windows/ [00:42] FYI: maybe someone is using your account somewhere else. have them log off. [00:42] lots more crazy stuff happening [00:42] hiatus_: it doesn't exist by default. Why are you looking for it? [00:42] Aled: this is normal for windows [00:42] I'm trying to add my wallpaper with feh to my ubuntu minimal install [00:42] hiatus_: what window manager are you using? [00:42] so0ky, I don't believe so. It only happens when I change my status via button on the top right [00:42] mithridates, follow this http://www.sachystechnoworld.co.cc/2009/11/gstreamer-version-mismatch-after.html [00:42] mkanyicy: I'm not able to play anything [00:42] Alright I'm installing Ubuntu now [00:42] mkanyicy: I've tried doing "auto wlan0 \n iface wlan0 inet dhcp" \n wireless-txpower auto" but it doesn't set txpower right anways... [00:42] I see, I'm sorry [00:42] hiatus_: what window manager are you using? [00:42] !who | hiatus_ [00:42] hiatus_: 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 :) [00:42] mkanyicy: tnx , I'll come back for sharing the result [00:42] highclasshole: openbox [00:43] hiatus_: and desktop environment [00:43] highclasshole: no desktop enviornment [00:43] mkanyicy: oh no man , I was there before coming to this channel :((( [00:43] why does Places -> Home say there is no application registered as handling this file? [00:43] youngbull, the tx power should be automatic by default [00:43] I must say....GNOME is pretty damn nice actually =) [00:43] Aled: welcome in our world ;) [00:43] I'm very happy with it [00:43] hiatus_: read Q2 [00:43] hiatus_: I'm not familiar with ubuntu minimal, does it use xdm or what? [00:43] hiatus_: read Q2 in http://icculus.org/openbox/2/faq.php [00:44] mithridates, you you tried removing gstreamer apps and reinstalling them? [00:44] also, my 2nd issue is: any notification I receive looks like it is stacked under an invisible notification (like a vertical offset of 1 notification) [00:44] mkanyicy: how can I remove everythings about media in ubuntu? and how can I install them fressh [00:44] highclasshole: command line, you add everything yourself via apt-get or aptitude [00:44] hiatus_: I'm pretty sure in OpenBox if you go to ~/.config/openbox you can create a startup.sh [00:44] mkanyicy: yes I did [00:44] any idea what may be causing this? perhaps linked to my uninstallation of empathy? [00:44] hiatus_: that being case, how you start x? [00:45] mithridates, use synpatic [00:45] Has anyone had the experience of installing a cs 1.6 dedicated server on Ubuntu Server 64 bit before? [00:45] mkanyicy: The thing is that it doesn't happen but when I do "iwconfig wlan0 txpower auto" then it works perfectly [00:45] highclasshole: you can start x by typing startx at login. I added gdm though so it boots up automatically [00:45] hiatus_: yeah make a startup script in ~/.config/openbox named autostart.sh that will launch applications when openbox [00:45] mkanyicy: I think I shouldn't installed gstreamer* again yes? [00:45] hiatus_: http://icculus.org/openbox/index.php/Help:FAQ#How_do_I_set_my_desktop_background.3F has different directions, both probably work [00:46] haitus_: lol I know how it works bud [00:46] jrib: thanks [00:46] <[BT]Brendan_> "uninstallation of empathy" lol [00:46] i would use hsetroot in the startup === JigABootDisk is now known as BootDisk [00:47] haitus_: hsetroot ~/wallpaper.png & [00:47] haitus_: and then you can start conky, whatever your panel is, etc. [00:47] is there any official source for installing media players in Karmic? I need to play AVI and MP4 [00:48] how do you install a service on a server running Ubuntu Server? [00:48] mithridates, maybe completely remove everything, do sudo apt-get clean and then try playing your files with totem and let totem download codecs by itself [00:48] nevermind on mine [00:48] does anyone know what the best games for xubuntu is [00:48] so0ky, what service? [00:48] mkanyicy: tnx man [00:48] cs 1.6 dedicated server [00:48] it's a game if you don't know [00:48] I'm familiar lol [00:48] mithridates: I maybe didn't uderstand your question, but have your tried VLC? [00:49] x_link: yes , I've tried [00:49] so0ky, you need to compile hlds i think [00:50] mkanyicy: there are two totem . 1-totem-gstream* 2-totem-xine which one?

[02:08] compared to tk - gtk - qt. tk is easy but ugly, gtk is cute but long, qt is tk with gtk cutness [02:08] mithridates, I don't know, the only thing I could try is to convert file to another format and see if vlc/mplayer can play it === Kujablak is now known as BlackSuga [02:09] mkanyicy: ok , anyway , thank you for your patient and your favor . [02:09] mithridates, sometimes I forget to say I am a newbie [02:09] mkanyicy: netbeans does not support perl [02:09] mithridates, no problem [02:09] <_6i> anyone? any ideas? [02:09] tasdawg, I dont even know what netbeans is, i guess it's java stuff [02:09] I cant find autostart in ~/.config/openbox/ [02:09] tasdawg: no, I think it does . have you looked for perl plugins for netbeans? [02:10] hi guys [02:10] netbeans is an IDE [02:10] tasdawg, I think gtk use C and qt use C++ [02:11] netbeans does not support perl - python PHP java rudy grovvy no perl sigh [02:11] what no C? [02:11] yeah - i know all about the functions with c - but i am a perl programer, what u can do in c i can do in perl, but i need some graphics, looking for a GUI IDE [02:11] joshua__, what? [02:11] for qt - gtk [02:12] neatbeans [02:12] 'm tryin to change grub2 image, already edited the 05_debian_theme with the name of my pic, set it in /boot/grub and set (just in case) my user:group owner (it got root when i put them there), finally i do update-grub. But it won't work. What's goin on? [02:12] I have kernel module ssb losding at boot, and I want wl how do I blacklist a bodule in u buntu [02:12] you see if you had C it is suitable as a universal bridging languages [02:12] <_6i> does anyone know how can i get the "dpkg --get-selections" list if i can't boot into 'that' ubuntu, but can mount the filesystem? [02:12] !blacklist | smc [02:12] smc: To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » [02:13] smc do sudo echo ssb >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [02:13] ubottu, thank you. [02:13] _6i: if it's intact enouch mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev followed by chroot /mnt dpkg --get-selections (have to be root of course but from rescue cd you probably already are) [02:13] ubottu is a bot, thank to kinja hehe [02:13] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:13] forums post on neats means: There is no active project to add perl support to NetBeans [02:13] tasdawg, sorry I don't know perl but little python, there is module called PyQt for making qt apps [02:14] obiwan_: Your command wouldn't work either. :) [02:14] please what can i do to solve my grub2 image issue? [02:14] yeah, he should login as root first ehehe [02:14] smc: echo ssb | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [02:14] mkanyicy - i know all this, i have perlqt-4 installed, and i can use it, but i have to type the code to eg display a button, this takes time, a GUI IDE will save me time, there is a desinger called qt4 designer but that prints it output code into c++ - something i dont want [02:16] obiwan_: My thoughts. It is silly to spend hours editing GRUB2 (to include photos or cute colors) that you would only get to see it for few seconds. And another times, you'd just turn on the machine and walk away (to come back in few minutes). [02:16] NOTE: Gtk2 has glade2 which can write out an XML file usable by Gtk2::GladeXML. Here is an example of how to bundle the XML with the app in the same file. [02:17] Thanks you all for your help (thumbs up) [02:17] I downloaded an app called SongBird (http://www.getsongbird.com/), but I don't know how to install it, can anyone help me? [02:18] I suppose apt-get install songbird didn't [02:18] shawn_: read the instructions on the page. it tells how to use songbird in Ubuntu [02:18] shawn_: https://launchpad.net/songbird [02:18] <_6i> joshua__: thx, i don't understand everything from your suggestion yet, but i'll look into the man pages for those parameters (i hope it will be enough) [02:19] kinja-sheep: yeah, actually i preffer the old-looking menu grub, it's just i said my friend it was so easy, then i tried and i had to swallow my own words :S now i want to do it by all means [02:19] obiwan_: You can get better support in #grub [02:19] yeah, i've already gone there hehe [02:19] maybe sbd helps me there [02:21] thanks [02:21] hello, if i do a dist-upgrade are the packets of the upgraded dist up-to-date? [02:21] or have i to update [02:21] it's just that it's really rare, cause there's a pletora of guides to change the image for ubuntu, and many people says: yeah it worked wonders for me, perfect it's really easy, and i'm getting really annoyed cause i did try a lot of things, changing dir, file owner, etc and won't work [02:21] they should be up to date [02:21] thanks [02:22] I have to leave now, good people [02:22] bye [02:22] how do I use the abiword presentation plugin? === forgotten_ is now known as forgottenlol [02:23] What do I click on to utilize it? [02:23] Abministrator: you will need to do update again after the dist-upgrade finishes just to be sure. [02:24] ok, i will do it... but first i pray that everything works... my system is full-encrypted :/ [02:24] Abministrator: best of luck.. maybe yo ushould do some research on how others have faired with encryption and 9.10 [02:24] err in that case I recommend solid backup first [02:25] How di I set ubuntu to boot into console at next start and not into X - for some reason switching tty only gives me black screen [02:27] ewwww [02:27] has anyone successful gotten a rogers inet stick working in 9.10 it was working in easy peasy and 9.04 but thats it === forgotten is now known as forgottenlol [02:28] <_6i> joshua__: thx, it worked like a charm [02:30] <_6i> and how could i reuse the downloaded packages from the previous install, (i can mount the drive), if have already the new ubuntu installed? [02:30] /var/cache/apt? [02:30] <_6i> yess [02:31] Not the full /var/cache/apt directory, but there's something under there where they're stored. [02:31] ctrlx11: read this for how to disable then reenable. http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/prevent-xorg-from-starting-in-linux/ === cpg is now known as cpg|brb [02:31] Anyone know if the USB startup disk allows you to subsequently add a FAT32 partition to the drive, to create a space for moving files between Windows computers? [02:32] <_6i> so, when i use the "dpkg --set-selections" it would use the packages downloaded before - would it be enough just to copy the packages from the previous install? [02:34] how to check irq of usb mouse? [02:34] hi folks [02:34] If I recall, from the new system, doing a cd /mnt/var/cache/apt/something followed by dpkg --install *.deb would do it [02:34] Could someone give me some advice on Ubuntu as a potential graphic design/web design OS? [02:34] of course that goes horribly wrong if you have anything in the cache that shouldn't be installed [02:34] can anyone tell me why my shift keys are working intermittently? [02:35] bastid_raZor - thanks [02:35] They work some times, but not others. [02:35] Other times I can't use them with some keys. [02:35] joshua__: Also, wouldn't that mess things up in that it wouldn't update dependencies properly? === DaZ_ is now known as DaZ [02:35] spasticteapot: what kind of keyboard? [02:35] If a new version drops a dependency, it wouldn't remove the old package, etc.? [02:35] <_6i> joshua__: yeah, there are such things there.. [02:35] Ruge> Use Gimp or Photoshop and your other web design programs ;-) [02:35] trimeta: no, any unmet dependencies will block akcages [02:35] can anyone tell me how to check irq of usb mouse? [02:35] saitek gamer keyboard. [02:35] joshua__: I meant the other way around. [02:35] zerwas: I have copies of Flash, Dreamweaver and Photoshop. Could they be run suitably under WINE? [02:35] Any unneeded dependencies would be kept. [02:36] spasticteapot: what kind of connection? USB, bluetooth, etc... [02:36] zerwas: I only have 2GB ram and an on-board GFX [02:36] Ruge: Check the WineDB. [02:36] ectospasm UB [02:36] ok file that one under bad ideas [02:36] s key works intermittently [02:36] Ruge> depends on the versions of your programs. as trimeta suggested, check the appdb of Wine: http://appdb.winehq.org/ [02:36] why does my hdmi cable not give me a display on my tv? [02:36] spast, I'd assume hardware until proven otherwise [02:36] zerwas: Yea, I got the wrong name. :-( [02:37] now shift + some keys works, but not others - if I hold shift, a,s,d,f,g, and a few others won't work. [02:37] <_6i> joshua__: that's why i wanted to use "dpkg --get-selections" list.. [02:37] joshua__ I added a Usb hub yesterday. [02:37] stupid freaking keyboard! [02:37] Hi! I installed the nvidia driver from their site, and when I typed 'startx' it worked fine. Upon rebooting, however, I get a black screen... Does anyone know what might cause this? [02:37] spasticteapot: could be the hub, most hubs are cheap IMO [02:37] I've got an ATI x1300 mobile GPU under Karmic, there is not fglrx for Karmic and default opensource ati driver, while provides the glx acceleration, is weak, and in extremetuxracer I hardly get 7 fps, and before under 9.04 with fglrx I was getting close to a 100. Is there a remedy? [02:38] looking at the datastruceure in /var/cache/apt, I'd presume you could copy the cache over, overwriting older files with newer ones [02:38] of course better do apt-get update again after that [02:39] agroker: You can try the packages fro the xorg-edgers repo to get the latest 3D components in mesa [02:39] <_6i> adamonline45: i had similar issues with the proprietary ati driver - the problem was, that the /etc/X11/xorg.conf wasn't correct [02:39] _6i: With the open driver, you don't need an xorg.conf [02:39] soreau, but does mesa mean indirect rendering? [02:40] <_6i> soreau: yeah, that was the problem [02:40] hey guys [02:40] agroker: No, quite the opposite. mesa is where all the opengl 3D code is stored for all graphics chipsets [02:40] <_6i> but the proprietary needed it [02:40] soreau, ok, thank you [02:40] _6i: Yea, X wont know to select a proprietary driver [02:40] Which uses less resource, empathy or pidgin ??? [02:40] I just read a thread about compiling your own kernel. Is there any guides that might explain the kernel? Is it just a program written in C?? I'm a bit confused on the whole kernel things. === blackbart is now known as Guest19617 === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:41] Hey, all. I looked a while for an office suite for Linux... I don't like OO.org or GNOME Office, but I've heard of KOffice, IBM Lotus Symphony, and the like... Which do you guys prefer? [02:41] eltume: run them both and check top to find out. [02:41] silare, OOo [02:41] <_6i> i set up the xorg.conf by hand accordint to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver and it worked after that [02:41] kernel is a program written in C that depend on nothing and provides what libc depends on but that's not the answer you want [02:42] jashua: what is libc? [02:42] shared function library: what every other program on the system depends on [02:42] neezer> the kernel is the operating system itself. i think wikipedia explains it well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_kernel [02:42] hi, how do I perform a RAM scan for errors? thansk [02:42] _6i: I've checked over my xorg.conf, and it seems to be in order... do you happen to know what was incorrect? [02:42] how many lines is it?? [02:43] http://lenswipe.pastebin.com/m3d6211be [02:43] assuming you've unpacked it [02:43] can someone help me with that [02:43] i having issues with some kind of XML package or something [02:43] <_6i> adamonline45: i stepped through this part to the end, set everything according to my specs and it worked https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver#Configuring%20X.org [02:43] neezer> 12,6 million lines of codes === Guest19617 is now known as blackbart [02:44] and I was about to paste the find | cat | wc -l command to find out [02:44] awesome!! [02:44] What is an MDF file [02:44] neezer> yeah, it's quite big [02:44] what is that command joshua_? [02:45] tidres: probably sql 2000 database [02:45] <_6i> adamonline45: i couldn't work with my box, because nothing would show, not even tty-s, but i could connect through ssh.. [02:45] so what would be the benefit of compiling your own kernel? [02:45] _6i: Ahh, that's a clever solution... I'm reading through the link, and I'll try that... Thanks a lot :) [02:45] IpSe_DiXiT: at boot time, when you see the selection of what to boot in (ubuntu with various kernel versions), there's usually memtest86 at the bottom of the list. boot to that to scan your memory for defects [02:46] How would you make sense of anything to even change it and have it still work with that many lines? [02:46] including only the drivers you need, I don't do that anymore after excluding hotplug and breaking udev (thank goodness my system backed udev with a real /dev rather than that ramdrive -- really good failsafe) [02:47] My wireless connection quit working, but I've verified that the router is sending out a signal.

[03:16] mithridates: guake works, but it's not as good as yakuake [03:16] nick_h: exactly , I don't like that, what else? [03:18] how can i change the resolution on karmic server? [03:19] why isnt apf-firewall in the jaunty packages? [03:20] <_6i> joshua__: would it be possible to make a repo using aptoncd with chroot from the old sys's partition and add that as a source in the new system? i think, it would solve the problems with the dependancies and shouldn't cause inconsistencies.. [03:21] mithridates: tilda is another one, but it's even worse than Gake [03:21] s/Gake/Guake/ [03:22] nick_h: looool , definitely you had a situation like me and you tried all of them :))) [03:23] why isnt apf-firewall in the jaunty packages? [03:23] mithridates: yep. after using KDE for ~6 years, i decided to try Gnome. 2-3 months later, i switched back to KDE. i really dislike most of Gnome's apps [03:25] nick_h: I hate too but I don't like kde environment [03:25] nick_h: you can use kde apps in gnome. [03:25] mithridates: KDE 3.5 is fantastic. 4 isn't great, but it's slowly improving [03:25] mithridates: just install yakuake in Gnome [03:25] mithridates: it'll work [03:26] but it wants to install about 128 mg KDE stuffs [03:27] mithridates: meh. i assume your HD is fairly large. what's 128MB going to do? [03:27] I am trying to figure out how to play a dvd on my computer when I cannot seem to do it through any Ubuntu dvd players. [03:28] mithridates: besides, if you install all of those KDE libraries, you'll be able to run other useful KDE apps =P [03:28] nick_h: :D ok man I'm gonna install it, I guess you are a yakuake developer =)) :P [03:28] how do I resize my partition? [03:28] I've installed the Gparted program but I still can't resize the partition.

[03:33] apf has been around for a long while. Why did it take so long to be added? [03:33] best irc client? [03:33] If I have a DVD that requires plugins because of the Format, how can I get the plugins? [03:33] bastid_razor: also is it a safe idea that I need to backup my GRUB bootloader before installing windows? [03:33] I am trying to install Ubuntu for the first time and I am having trouble [03:33] webdawg: have you watched david after dentist video in youtube? =))) please watch it [03:34] i got a problem [03:34] !fixgrub | LinuX2half ..you need this. [03:34] LinuX2half ..you need this.: 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. [03:34] can I back port it and add it to jaunty?

[03:34] bastid_razor: alright thanks I'll go now to test it out. [03:35] geitenneuker: this is ubuntu support, do you have a question relating to ubuntu we can help you with? [03:35] if i type ddate it looks like that [03:35] Ok, anyhow.. can someone give me some advice about wubi.exe? [03:35] I run it and it does nothing! [03:35] It is supposed to be an installer [03:35] sometimes in update manager or synaptic it shows 'linux-image-x.x.xx-xx-generic' updates etc, can anybody tell me is that important? [03:35] geitenneuker: the description states that "ddate - converts Gregorian dates to Discordian dates" [03:36] whats discordian dates? [03:36] Again, if I have a DVD that will not run because it is not supported by open formats, how can I get the plugins to play the dvd on an open format? [03:36] geitenneuker: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discordian_calendar [03:36] and how can i display the jewish calendar? [03:37] geitenneuker: there is an apple for that hdate-applet [03:37] err s/apple/applet [03:37] im a dutch jew [03:38] ok i hope it is the apple of sin [03:39] is it worth it to install the nvidia propriatery drivers on an ubuntu-server install with no gui, will it gain any performance boost? [03:39] i have seen the fnord! [03:39] if I move a bunch of files across to a Windows partition from Linux, will that info still be on the Linux partition? [03:39] I'm having trouble booting the Live CD [03:39] I don't know what button to press to boot from the Disc [03:39] linux2half? why i dont have problems with my boots [03:39] what are the options? [03:40] Mine isn't automatic [03:40] i bought my boots on a local shoe dealer [03:40] LinuX2half: you need to get your BIOS to boot from CD. This is usually a setting [03:40] Okay, then is there a button to press after setting the order? [03:40] LinuX2half: possibly hit F12 [03:40] LinuX2half: on bootup it should say something like "Press F12 to access setup" or something similar [03:40] LinuX2half, you might need to install a driver [03:40] pete__: nope, the drivers are for X, which you don't have [03:40] jtaji, ok, thanks [03:40] Alright I'm be back.... [03:41] sje46: if you mount the partition, you will see the files on yoru windows partiton [03:41] sje46: often you have to mount the NTFS partiton,, look into NTFS-3g [03:41] I know Quan-Time. But I want to move the files to the Windows partition so I have more room on Linux [03:42] sje46: yes, you can do that and run prorams from it if you choose.. BUT be careful of permissions and what not [03:42] why is the NTFS stuff not in the kernel? [03:42] put it into the kernel asap [03:42] geitenneuker: 3rd party driver. [03:42] does anyone happen to know why the ##php channel is sending me to ##overflow? [03:42] it only became stable recently. [03:42] its open source and stable [03:42] Quan-Time, my question is if the info on the harddrive will still be recoverable on the windows partition [03:42] lemiffe: ask in #freenode [03:42] thanks [03:42] s/linux/windows [03:42] NTFS was for a long time "read only".. writing to it would often corrupt the entire disk.. thus, its still being developed [03:42] Hi to all I want to apologize for last night, I'm new to this IRC thing and didn't have a clue on how X-Chat worked or what I was supposed to respond to thanks for your understanding [03:42] maybe with kernel 2.6.36 or something [03:43] sje46: yer of course, windows will see it without issue.. [03:43] sje46: i run steam that way.. so linux or windows can use it.. saves on install space :) [03:43] is there a way to run a mirc client in the kernel? [03:43] geitenneuker: mirc client ? [03:43] mirc = multitasking irc [03:44] umm.. mirc IS a client.. you mean IRC client ? [03:44] in a interactive shell [03:44] Quan-Time, I'm confused. My linux can see windows files fine. I'm asking ...like, you know how when you delete something, it doesn't delete the data, just the pointer? [03:44] No it doesn't boot from the disc [03:44] LinuX2half, what OS are you on now? [03:44] Karmic [03:44] my mouse is messed up for some reason [03:44] sje46: if you delete something from your windows partition, while in linux.. it will be deleted. when you boot to windows, it will be gone [03:45] I'm using the Intrepid Live CD [03:45] i am looking for a 5ganjahz mouse [03:45] Quan-Time, pretend I have one OS. Just Windows. Or Linux. Doesn't matter. If you have a file, and delete it, that information is stil on the disk until something writes it over. [03:45] geitenneuker: i THINK you can run irssi like that, but i dont know why you would want to. its terminal based incase you TOTALLY screw up your GUI / gfx,, if you X session is stuffed, you can still load up irssi and get help in here about fixing.. is that what you mean ? [03:46] sje46: correct. [03:46] hey guys,anyone knows a good how-to for installing custom kernel on ubuntu? === capibolso is now known as marcuy [03:46] !kernel | e40ti4st [03:46] e40ti4st: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [03:46] sje46: BUT the pointer file (FAT info) ISNT moved to the recycle bin for easy access.. you manually have to run some sort of undelete / unerase program to rebuild it [03:46] How do I boot from the CD? Karmic seemed to have changed [03:47] LinuX2half, okay, my friend couldnt boot from a disk, he had to install something. Have you tried just putting in the disk while on your current OS? [03:47] LinuX2half: umm.. boot from cd ? put in drive, reboot computer.. ? === jon is now known as Guest34949 [03:47] Yes, but it seemed that it doesn't react to the disc [03:48] LinuX2half, even when you put it in right now? [03:48] <_6i> how do i edit/remove enties from the grub menu in karmic? (all the tutorials i've found use "grub", but i have grub-* apps) [03:48] when I try to mount a .bin I made using DD to clone a HD it says wrong standard identifier in volume descriptor, exiting [03:48] sje46: yes [03:48] Quan-Time, okay, so when I move a file from a linux partition to a windows partition, I'd have to wipe it from the linux partition if I don't want it to be there anymore [03:49] LinuX2half, do other CDs work? [03:49] LinuX2half: ok.. in your bios.. when you first turn on your computer, you can hit like F1, or ESC, or DEL or somethin.. you get your BIOS boot options.. you probably have "boot from CDROM" set to "DISABLE" or something similar.. OR your boot option "priority" list is harddisk 1, cdrom 2, etc..change that.. IF it cant find a cdrom, it goes to boot device 2. the hdd... understand ? [03:49] Quan-Time, I don't think it's bios if he can't use the CD at all [03:50] sje46: umm. if you MOVE it, it tells the FAT (file allocation table) taht the space can now be overwritten.. you dont have to actively "scrub" it. if you move it, your all set [03:50] when I try to mount a .bin I made using DD to clone a HD it says wrong standard identifier in volume descriptor, exiting [03:50] Quan-time: my BIO setting only has the boot order and thats it. There's no option boot options [03:50] sje46: OH... is the CD burnt in a bootable way ? i had to deal with someone about this issue previously [03:50] excuse me, I have a question about Linux x64...i'll wait until someone is available though [03:50] greyfoxsylux: please just ask :) [03:50] Quan-Time, I don't have to scrub it, but I want to. [03:51] So I guess I have to, as was my suspicion [03:51] Now, I want to run Linux Ubuntu 9.10 x64, but I am not sure if x86 applications would work under it? [03:51] Because since the x64 flash plugin is still an alpha... [03:51] LinuX2half: is CD listed as the first boot option? [03:51] For Mozilla Firefox [03:51] ziroday: yes as optical drive [03:51] greyfoxsylux: what applications are you worried about in particular? flash only? [03:52] not just that === fwaokda__ is now known as fwaokda_ [03:52] sje46: ok.. there is a "secure erase" option.. so it writes all blank space (FFFFFFxFF) over it... a move is "copy, delete".. a secure move / secure delete is "delete, write over it with blank space".. [03:52] ziroday: I had dealt with this issue previously but somehow this situation seemed different [03:52] Want to be able to also run VMs for local technical support and some drivers that might not be developed for 64-bit Linux [03:52] I know Quan-Time . I think I get it. Thanks [03:53] sje46: if you do it via nautilus, if you "empty" your recycle bin, sorta does the same thing [03:53] greyfoxsylux: the 64-bit flash plugin is considered beta now.... works great too [03:53] ziroday: Back when before Karmic release, my Jaunty can boot from the CD just by pressing the keys [03:53] you CAN technically get that data back, but its a serious pain in the ass [03:53] that's why I use WIPE [03:53] okay that sounds neat...i should give it a shot. But, can I upgrade my Linux Ubuntu OS from x86 to x64 via Upgrade method? [03:53] sje46: yup, wipe is good [03:53] I WIPE everything I delete [03:53] ziroday: but somehow when I upgrade it to Karmic, it wouldn't boot from the disc. [03:53] LinuX2half: I'm not sure sorry === aishumoorthy_ is now known as aishumoorthy [03:54] if I can't not a big deal as I move my stuff to my NTFS partition, but I don't want to move it all if I can avoid it [03:54] ziroday: oh okay alright its fine. [03:54] Cut the conversation, just open your mouth [03:54] LinuX2half: ok.. is the CD burnt as a bootable one ? someone was in here the other day, and it didnt burn properly.. he had a iso, and windows inbuilt burner thing screwed it up. he had to download a iso burning program (img burn / infra recorder, etc.. all freware) to burn the iso correctly [03:55] Quan-Time, so I think I should just copy all the files to the Windows partition, and then wipe all them from the Ubuntu partition [03:55] Quan-time: yes the Cd can be booted back when I'm using Jaunty [03:55] thanks for letting me lurk will be back tomorrow night [03:55] if you want it to be totally "secure" you can do that sje46,, [03:56] LinuX2half: oh.. ok. so the CD works as a bootable in some situations, but not others ? [03:56] Can I upgrade straight from x86 to x64 Ubuntu OS? [03:56] Quan-time: Well, I have only this Cd to test with. [03:56] greyfoxsylux: no [03:56] greyfoxsylux: nope [03:56] aah okay [03:57] guess I will need to move around files then [03:57] Quan-Time: I do have a window installation disc and that won't boot either [03:57] greyfoxsylux: you CAN do it, but its not ... just reinstall over the top.. prolly easiest [03:57] Can you mount an MDF file? [03:57] LinuX2half: oh. ok. [03:57] ah okay [03:57] I'll just probably format it [03:57] Tiders: not directly, but you can mount .iso files.. you can convert the MDF first to .iso, then mount it. [03:57] I thought you could mount MDF files? [03:57] Quan-Time, How do you convert them? [03:58] I would do it via Windows Virtual DVDs [03:58] Tiders: you want a GUI or a command line way ? [03:58] Linux should be able to do the same thing [03:58] Quan-Time, Doesnt matter [03:58] greyfoxsylux: not natively.. its a program to do it.. much like windows.. damon tools.. etc.. everything is addon [03:58] Tiders: 2 secs. [03:58] true [03:58] can't something like gmountiso or something work? [03:59] !iso [03:59] To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [03:59] Quan-time: Like when I turned on the laptop with the CD inserted, then after the boot menu; GRUB loading stage 1.5. After that I try to press the keys but that won't work because the number appeared whenever I press the F keys [03:59] LinuX2half: press the keys before the grub loading comes up [03:59] okay final question before I upgrade to x64...what can't I do if I choose Linux Ubuntu x64? [04:00] greyfoxsylux: what do you mean? [04:00] well [04:00] they fixed most of the x64 issues [04:00] Tiders: http://www.poweriso.com/download.htm - poweriso has a linux version.. it will convert isos easy for you.. hope this helps,, theres also another one which runs in WINE if thats your thing. forgotten its name [04:00] okay [04:00] bastid_raZor: Well the computer would process slower when the disc is inserted. [04:00] because I dont' want to be restricted in my average use for Linux x64 [04:01] I am planning to upgrade my RAM to 4GB soon and I want Linux to utilize it all [04:01] bastid_raZor: But I do not remember the keys though [04:01] Quan-Time, I need one that can use YASU to cloack the virtual drive [04:01] greyfoxsylux: I have been using 64 bit since 8.10 - it's much better now [04:01] Tiders: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=169469 read that.. might help ?! [04:01] alright thanks! [04:01] also [04:01] greyfoxsylux: at the moment, I am booted up my ubuntu flash drive [04:02] up upon. [04:02] i noticed this issue...wireless in Linux is more unstable than Windows. [04:02] what is the best what is the best program for burning dvd's? [04:02] hmm [04:02] ooops [04:02] karma: I use Brasero, should work fine [04:02] greyfoxsylux: I had that problem but I backported and it worked fine [04:02] Quan-Time, Would Daemon tools work with Yasu through Wine to mount CDs / DVDs? === hackoo1 is now known as hackoo [04:03] i am having problems with brasero.. it won't blank dvd-rw's [04:03] Tiders: umm.. dont think daemon tools would work with wine.. never tried it.. [04:03] greyfoxsylux: http://pkill-9.com/wordpress/?p=152 [04:03] Quan-Time, Well I need some way to get past the protection [04:03] what email would a real geek use? (avoid gmail) [04:03] i dl k3b and i cannot get it to work at all [04:03] umm.. have a look around for mount options.. never know, might get lucky [04:03] whats wrong with gmail?

[04:04] aah perfect [04:04] Tiders: kk.. umm.. linux tends to "ignore" most protections, as they are not really coded for linux.. more windows stuff.. [04:04] hello [04:04] yeah i use an Atheros WLAN card [04:04] Quan-Time, So might work? [04:04] like sonys "rootkit".. its pointless on linux. [04:04] rww, is that ubuntu guys don't use email? ;) [04:04] Tiders: yes it might.. safedisk is random.. sometimes it 100% doesnt care, other times, its a pig... [04:05] greyfoxsylux: that solution worked for me - I had to schlep for over 2 weeks to find it -- which is why I posted it there [04:05] Quan-Time, This uses secuROM [04:05] marcuy, please chat in #ubuntu-offtopic NOT here [04:05] bookmarked thanks ~_^ [04:05] my wlan card sends with 5w [04:05] im afraid, my fingers get hot [04:05] greyfoxsylux: you might find other things that help - if not let me know and I can research it [04:05] Any ideas that might help? [04:05] alright [04:05] ok bazhang [04:06] Tiders: found this http://www.ubuntugeek.com/mount-and-unmount-isomdfnrg-images-using-acetoneiso-gui-tool.html - might be an option ?? [04:06] the info on how to get the apc ups was off and on research for over 6 months [04:06] good to see there are lots of seeders for the Ubuntu 9.10 AMD64 torrent :) [04:06] what is better, to mount a dir with CIFS or SMBFS? [04:06] Tiders: dedicated iso mounting prog.. never know. might "emulate" what you need ? securROM is a retarded idea personally.. (my opinion) [04:06] Quan-Time, Too bad the .DEB is no longer available [04:07] Tiders: boo... umm.. best i can offer sorry :( [04:07] can I go into synaptic and remove the outdated kernels on my machine? [04:07] neezer: yes, that is the proper way of doing it. [04:08] Tiders: MDF2ISO is in synaptic.. maybe try that ? [04:08] awesome...I was about to do it, but decided to hit cancel and check first. [04:08] yeah mdf2iso works [04:08] i used it before [04:08] how do you remove the old kernels with synaptic, I'd like to do that... [04:08] thanks bastid_raZor, if it didn't work, I would have been here asking how to recover after uninstalling old kernels and I bet that could have been a disaster. [04:08] is the x64 Adobe Flash Plugin precompiled into a .DEB package? [04:09] blue1: search linux-image [04:09] or does it need to be built manually? [04:09] neezer thanks [04:09] blue1: then look for any of the old ones...the one installed with say current version or something like that. [04:09] neezer Okay I'll try that when this update finishes thanks [04:09] grey: i got my adobe stuff direct from the adobe website, as a a apt source [04:10] anyone know how to see the current xconfig in karmic? I know there is no xorg.conf but there must be a way to make settings persist. [04:10] Is it ok if I remove 2.6.28-22 if I have a higher number? [04:10] heh these flash drives aren't speedy - but it does work [04:10] Can I just keep the highest one? [04:10] Tiders: http://www.acetoneteam.org/ try that.. might get lucky [04:11] neezer: correct, the latest kernel is all that is required [04:11] neezer: If it's the one you're currently using (check with uname -r) and it works fine, yes [04:11] neezer: I'd keep the 2 highest cause sometimes you need the old image [04:11] Quan-Time, They only have a .DEB for 9.10 [04:11] great! thanks [04:11] sounds like solid advice. thanks [04:12] v0lksman, i'm having a similar issue xorg stuff [04:12] odd...when I run uname -r I get 2.6.28-16, but I know there are higher versions on my list in synaptic.

I need to be able to connect to a cisco vpn server. Does there exist a cisco vpn client for ubuntu which may be installed and used? [04:18] any idea how to force the hardware to turn off during shutdown? [04:18] ^paradox^: run it from terminal and look for errors [04:19] pratik_narain: what you mean by vanilla? [04:19] <^paradox^> whats the command? im not great with the command line [04:20] pratik_narain: You can leave kubuntu-default-settings out, rest should be pretty vanilla [04:20] sudo rm says cannot remove it's a directory rmdir says It's not empty there are a couple sub dirs any easy command or must do each subdir separately? [04:20] Tm_T: plain kde as offered by the kde.org team [04:20] chris59: rm -r [04:20] Hello. I need to be able to connect to a cisco vpn server. Does there exist a cisco vpn client for ubuntu which may be installed and used? [04:20] !repeat | Diverdude [04:20] Diverdude: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [04:20] <^paradox^> blakkheim: i got a terminal up. how do i run it? [04:21] ^paradox^: i don't use totem so i don't know [04:21] ANYONE? [04:21] Tm_T: actually kubuntu kde differs very much from kde in plain distros like arch and gentoo. they provide nearly 100% original kde. [04:22] <^paradox^> i just typed totem and it did the same thing [04:22] <^paradox^> terminal said Segmentation fault [04:22] pratik_narain: please be more specific [04:22] ^paradox^: i would recommend something else for music anyway (and for video, not a big fan of totem tbh) [04:23] <^paradox^> ok suggestions? [04:23] second what blakkheim says [04:23] Tiders: try "gmount-iso" its in synaptic.. have a looky :) [04:23] ^paradox^: these are just my preferred apps; mplayer for video and mpd+ncmpcpp for music :) [04:23] mplayer for video [04:23] blakkheim, but maybe somebody knows and just didnt see what i wrote [04:23] Quan-Time, Thanks what does it do [04:24] Thank You again [04:24] Tm_T: installing kubuntu-desktop includes all the software and configuration from kubuntu which is unstable on my system. So I want the software selection and default config of ubuntu with kde desktop environment. [04:24] Quan-Time, Not in my repos [04:24] <^paradox^> what could have happened to totem? is this gonna be a common thing? [04:24] Tm_T: I did install kdebase package from synaptic but still I don't have kde option in gdm login screen. [04:25] Quan-Time, Will that mount MDFs? [04:25] pratik_narain: you have kde-core installed? [04:25] ^paradox^, totem is flaky [04:25] my experience [04:25] ^paradox^: just a segfault isn't much to go by, but like i said i would avoid totem anyway [04:25] i'm trying to set up ssh on two machines, i successfull ssh-copy-id 'ed one machine, but the other one is giving me a Permission denied (publickey). error... anyone know? [04:26] Tm_T: no, what package should I install apart from kdebase [04:26] pratik_narain: cannot remember offhand, sorry [04:26] Tm_T: can you point me to some link please. [04:27] <^paradox^> well i have vlc and mplayer [04:28] greenlynx, ^paradox^ i seconnd that [04:28] hey, I have a movie for RealD/Shutterglasses - there are 2 files: left.avi and right.avi - anyway to play it on ubuntu? [04:28] ^paradox^, strongly recommend mplayer, never really liked VLC but many others do [04:28] hackeron, !medibuntu [04:28] taofd: agreed [04:28] hackeron, err... hold on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu [04:29] ^paradox^: use vlc friend, its simply the best [04:29] !best | pratik_narain [04:29] pratik_narain: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [04:29] taofd: erm, doesn't have anything to do with 3d movies there? [04:29] ^paradox^, the main reason why i like mplayer is I find it more efficient than vlc, i'm used to it, and it displays ass subtitles better === Nightw0lf is now known as Nightwolf [04:30] <^paradox^> uh theres another problem [04:30] its only an opinion [04:30] hackeron, oh sorry, i just saw it ended in avi and assumed you needed a video player... lol -__-; [04:30] taofd: no, I have left.avi and right.avi - I need to play both with different polarization to use with 3d glasses [04:30] <_ganymede> anyone do any game programming? if so, what is the best open source game engine...in your opinion? [04:31] <^paradox^> when i right click on any video and select properties so i can change it to open with another player the folder flashes, disappears, and it opens my home folder [04:31] <^paradox^> help? [04:31] _ganymede: please, this is not channel for polls [04:31] ^paradox^: run mplayer filename from the terminal and see if it plays [04:31] <_ganymede> ^paradox^: this is not a poll... [04:31] bash question: is there any command for numbering system conversion in bash? For example decimal to hexadecimal. [04:32] <_ganymede> what is the best open source game engine! [04:32] <^paradox^> i never said it was a poll [04:32] hackeron, ah yeah... maybe there's an encoder somewhere that will allow you to merge to video files for stereoscopic 3d playback? [04:32] _ganymede: depends on the type of game. [04:32] _ganymede: and other limitations/features [04:32] <_ganymede> ^paradox^: sorry wrong direction... [04:33] taofd: the question is there would I find such encoder? ;) [04:33] <^paradox^> whats the command to run mplayer? just mplayer? [04:33] dr_willis are you megaman? [04:33] ^paradox^: or gnome-mplayer or smplayer [04:33] hackeron, i'm looking around on mencoder... but i don't see anything... :( [04:33] ubuntu rocks [04:33] geitenneuker: not that ive noticed... [04:33] ^paradox^: mplayer /path/to/video [04:33] main-e-ac, no, GNU/Linux rocks ;) [04:33] i need to smoke a mole [04:34] u don't like ubuntu? [04:34] <_ganymede> Dr_Willis: right...2d and 3d...any good open source game engines? I did a internet search...found a few...but I am unsure of the amount of documentation and such... [04:34] anyone know why i would be getting a Permission denied (publickey) error when trying to use ssh-copy-id? [04:34] <^paradox^> huh [04:34] _ganymede: 2d and 3d.. well that baically means you are doing 3d with a fixed view? [04:35] _ganymede: the quake3 engine has been used for a great many things [04:35] what is a good place to untar a program folder? I mean, what is the generally the correct installation path? [04:35] Dr_Willis, a litle bit outdated though :( [04:35] main-e-ac, Ubuntu is a Linux distro. :/ [04:35] <^paradox^> ill brb [04:35] hi is there any hardware monitor APPLET with numeric counters ? [04:35] <_ganymede> Dr_Willis, taofd: i have read the same [04:35] Diverdude: normally you use some nice 'safe' place. like 'myworkarea' then see what it untars to. [04:36] i'm learning...new to this OS stuff [04:36] taofd: unless of course you want somthing that can run decently on older box's [04:36] anyone know why i would be getting a Permission denied (publickey) error when trying to use ssh-copy-id? [04:36] Is there anyone in here familiar enough with Wine to help me configure mine? [04:36] main-e-ac, that's fine. Everyone's a learner ;) [04:36] Dr_Willis, ok, and when i have verified that it makes a nice folder a structure, then what it a good place to move it to? [04:36] Dr_Willis, whats the point in playing games on older boxes? :( [04:36] <_ganymede> Dr_Willis: who runs ubuntu on older boxz? [04:36] <_6i> hi everyone, how can i set a dvd image (made with aptoncd) as a software source? [04:36] bash question: is there any command for numbering system conversion in bash? For example decimal to hexadecimal. Or I should write my own? [04:37] <_ganymede> Dr_Willis: lol [04:37] hi is there any hardware monitor APPLET with numeric counters ? [04:37] hi everyone [04:37] hi stan [04:38] coldfire, what do mean by hardware? The CPU? [04:38] hi main-e-ac [04:38] Dr_Willis, ? [04:38] processor, memory ,network [04:38] _ganymede, lol i do :d [04:38] how to use s-video out on ubuntu? [04:38] will I have to download a bunch of stuff if I do a version update from 9.04 to 9.10? I have a slow internet connection right now, and I don't want to spend a day downloading the .iso [04:38] Diverdude: Huh? [04:38] Jp82191: depends on the video card to some degree [04:38] neezer: yes [04:38] Dr Willis, are you familiar with Wine? [04:38] <_ganymede> taofd: Aoe2 ftw [04:38] thanks. then I'll wait. [04:38] nightsjammies: >hic< a little... [04:38] Dr_Willis, ok, and when i have verified that it makes a nice folder a structure, then what it a good place to move it to? [04:39] Dr_willis, what would i have to do because that option worked under XP [04:39] going to be home in two days with a great connection. [04:39] Diverdude: depends on what it is.. [04:39] isolat3dsh33p> processor, memory ,network [04:39] hey everyone i have a question. I have a /home directory formatted as ext4, will i be able to use this in ubuntu 8.04.3 [04:39] Hic? [04:39] Dr_Willis, its a vpn-client [04:39] Jp82191: what video card/chipset? that fact it worked under xp.. shows that at least your cables are connected properly.. and thats about it [04:39] when I upgrade, I get error messages about installing some packages...It tells me that they weren't ablt to install them. [04:39] Diverdude: if its source you compile it.. if its binary.. you can proberly run it from the extracted dir. [04:40] I think it is cause I have some karmic sources because i was trying to get rhythmbox to talk with my ipod touc.\ [04:40] Dr_Willis, its an integrated laptop card [04:40] *touch. [04:40] intel thats all i know [04:40] Jp82191: No idea on intel. for nvidia. i enable twinview with the nvidia-settings tool [04:40] !tvout [04:40] For help with enabling the TV-Out, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaTVOutNewbieEdition (Nvidia cards) or http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Tvout (ATI cards, *untested*) [04:41] neezer: mixing repo's like that is the perfect way to break your system. [04:41] coldfire, if your talking about panel applet, I don't think so. (I might be wrong) But, there's screenlets that can monitor your hardwares. :) [04:41] haha thanks [04:41] I was told here two days ago that it probably wouldn't be a problem. [04:41] Dr_Willis, yeah....but not i just untared it in /home/myusername/vpnclient I am sure there is a better place to put a program folder than that [04:41] Jp812191: Do a lspic [04:41] Jp812191: Do a lspci - previous was a typo [04:41] isolat3dsh33p> ok thx i guess there is'nt any ty 4 the help [04:41] Diverdude: its all relative.. toss it in /opt/ if you really want to. [04:42] but i'm not too worried about it. I am going to do a fresh install when I get home on monday. with 9.10. [04:42] neezer: then you were given bad advice. [04:42] <^paradox^> ok im ack [04:42] Dr_Willis, ok...what is /opt/ normally used for? [04:42] dreamdemon, how do i do that? [04:42] Jp82191: Have you tried System > Preferences > Display? [04:42] Jp812191: from a terminal window [04:42] Diverdude: junk you dident install via package manager :) [04:42] coldfire, np. :) [04:42] Diverdude: exactly what you are asking for/doing basically [04:42] Dr_Willis, ahh perfect hehe [04:43] im on xubuntu [04:43] <^paradox^> i really need hand with this. every time i right click on either a video or audio file the folder and my desktop flash, icons disappear for a second, and it brings up my home folder [04:43] <^paradox^> why is this happening [04:43] Jp82191: Yes and there is a thing is accessories called terminal. It's like a dos prompt [04:44] ok i got terminal now what? [04:44] Jp82191: type in lspci and hit enter [04:44] ok i got a bunch of text what am i looking for [04:44] ^paradox^, you must be running compiz :/ [04:45] Jp82191: That will tell you all the pci hardware on your machine [04:45] Jp82191: I think Xubuntu comes with a similar app ( and if not you can install the one that comes with Ubuntu ). Have you checked in the preferences menu? [04:45] <^paradox^> it started a few minutes when totem media player would flash and disappear when i tried to open a song or video [04:45] jordan_u, there is no preferences menu [04:45] <^paradox^> whats going on. i am running compiz [04:46] Jp82191: preferences are in System>Preferences [04:46] ^paradox^: codec issue ? i use VLC.. solves all codec problems.. [04:46] in the system tab there is not preferences there [04:46] Quan-Time: yep. :) thats the fave at this house also. [04:46] anyone know the name of the laptop battery monitor in 9.10 [04:47] Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller [04:47] <^paradox^> well whats with the disappearing when i right click to try and change to another player to open with every time? [04:47] thats what i get for display [04:47] Jp82191: And nothing in Applications > Settings ? [04:47] JD1: gnome-power-management 2.28.1 ? [04:47] ^paradox^: sounds like the file manager may be crashing/restarting or somthing [04:47] In my ubuntu 9.04 system I set the resolution to 1024x768 in Preference > Display. But the login screen resolution is still 800x600 [04:47] Jp82191: Now, what are you trying to do with your video? [04:47] trying to use the S-video output [04:48] Quan-Time: i think thats it. thanks, I'm running xubuntu and don't have ot [04:48] <^paradox^> is there a way to find out and fix it? i look at properties alot and play media [04:48] JD1: thats the one on my panel.. in gnome. [04:48] Jp82191: Have you alreadytried plugging it in and seeing if it outputs vid? [04:49] yes and its not working [04:49] ^paradox^: try installing VLC via synaptic or apt-get. open that, and browse to your file, and play.. if that works, its 100% a codec issue :) [04:49] Quan-Time: thanks. the xfce one doesn't chart charge and discharge stats [04:49] <^paradox^> i already vlc [04:49] JD1: OH... xfce.. gotcha. (i like openbox personally :) [04:49] ^paradox^: try playing your media in that.. same problem ? [04:49] <^paradox^> music and video play fine in it [04:50] codec issue [04:50] bingo :) [04:50] Jp82191: Might be a bug, not sure. You can try hooking it up and then detecting displays but I think it's going to be more complex then that. [04:50] <^paradox^> no but i still cant click properties without the folder disappearing [04:50] ^paradox^: so what are you exactly trying to achieve ? [04:50] Jp82191: I dont have an option for my svid either [04:50] Quan-Time: is that still being worked on? [04:50] yeah ill just use my vista laptop :( [04:50] w00t [04:50] JD1: MANY ppl with archlinux use it. [04:51] Quan-Time: thanks, ill look into it. I'm looking around for the best disto for my asus eee [04:51] <^paradox^> since i cant single left click and open with totem anymore i figured i try right clicking, going to properties, and ticking another to open them with upon a single left click [04:52] JD1: i run arch on my eeepc :) [04:52] <^paradox^> but upon selecting properties the folder disappears, icons on my desktop disappear, and the home folder pops up [04:53] would someone be able to help me with a boot error on ubuntu [04:53] JD1: oh.. ok. umm.. ubuntu support a EEEpc,, touch pad, battery, etc.. arch is.. "its got the basics to be called "linux".. then you need to constantly add things to make it usable." [04:53] In my ubuntu 9.04 system I set the resolution to 1024x768 in Preference > Display. But the login screen resolution is still 800x600, any idea guys? [04:53] JD1: you dont even get a gui. you get network, and thats honestly about it. BUT you only install waht you "need" its uber light, etc.. but its a bit more "pro" to use [04:54] <_ganymede> apiggy: what is your problem? [04:54] ^paradox^, have you « sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras » ? [04:54] Quan-Time: hmmm. I used to run slackware so thats not an issue [04:54] Quan-Time: i would disagree about it being light and "pro" but that's just my opinion [04:54] !opera | blue1 [04:54] Blue1, please see my private message [04:54] Quan-Time: but I'm looking for ease of use really. this is my daily driver so to speak [04:54] <^paradox^> isolat3dsh33p: u mean have i entered that command to terminal? [04:55] ios it possible to have access to the lucid repos in karmic? [04:55] LlamaZorz: That would be a bad idea, it's not good to mix release packages like that [04:55] can you do it [04:55] JD1: for a EEEpc, id suspect ubuntu.. as a daily machine. mainly cos its got everything you "need", and E's are really well supported [04:55] LlamaZorz: No idea, but you'd constantly be fixing problems [04:56] LlamaZorz: You can but it's asking for problems in a big way [04:56] id like to know how [04:56] llamaZorz: You'll start running into dependancy errors, etc [04:56] what is the repo for opera? [04:56] ^paradox^, I mean have you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras? It install mp3, mp4, avi codecs, MS fonts etc. [04:56] LlamaZorz: /etc/apt/sources.list (but yeah it will cause problems) [04:56] LlamaZorz: giving advice that causes problems isn't really supported here [04:56] <^paradox^> i dont really know. i can play em [04:57] Quan-Time: yep. everything works, just had to add one repo and some one package. I was impressed to see al my fn+ keys working [04:57] <^paradox^> use em [04:57] Blue1, it's in the opera download page if I'm not mistaken. [04:57] LlamaZorz: I'm not gonna tell someone how to screw themselves over with that option, sorry [04:57] isolat3dsh33p: ah okay it telling me I can't download it - it's not in any repo [04:57] ok, we have different politics then. its ok [04:58] LlamaZorz: It's not about politics, it's about you can do 1 thing wrong with it and corrupt your whole install [04:58] ok then I reinstall [04:58] anyone know why i might be getting a Permission denied (publickey) error message when trying to ssh-copy-id? [04:58] not a big deal [04:58] Blue1: you can download opera from their site and it will add thier repo [04:58] ardchoille: ok [04:58] Blue1: http://www.opera.com/browser/download/ [04:59] Blue1, this « http://deb.opera.com/opera/ » and this « http://deb.opera.com/opera-beta/ » [04:59] LlamaZorz: Then your best option is to get the source package and compile it for that given distro [04:59] its not availible thats the problem, somebody uploaded a botched patch file [04:59] on launchpad [04:59] Quan-Time: thanks, that was the package. now I just have to wait for it to learn my battery :) takes a awhile with a 10 hour battery life [05:00] <^paradox^> im not good with the more technical stuff. if you want me to check or something you're gonna have to instruct me [05:00] hello all [05:00] LlamaZorz: Then you need to compile. But we're not going to sit here and tell you how to destroy your system [05:01] id need to run debian if I wanted the patch to work properly [05:01] destroying your system is easy. [05:01] ^paradox^, check whether ubuntu-restricted-extras have been installed or not with this « apt-cache policy ubuntu-restricted-extras » [05:01] JD1: my battery lasts ~1.5hrs, but it says 10hrs, and still hasnt learnt.. weird.. such is life [05:02] <^paradox^> isolat3dsh33p: ok hang on [05:02] ^paradox^ : If they arent installed do: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [05:02] Hey there!

I'm using Grub2 from the debian sid repo, which gives me a new dpkg option if I shutdown without halting to attempt to fix any broken packages. If I choose this option, it wants to install my held back packages. Is this something I do,or do not want to do? I would just go for it but there's a kernel image in there and that makes me hesitate. [05:09] ANYONE CAN HELP ME???????????? [05:09] hacker, What's your questions [05:09] hacker, I will help if you don't yell again.

I am only able to use it on Low graphics mode, and I cannot seem to get it to boot into the graphical enviroment, even using the install hardware drivers feature, any help would be appreciated, I will give any info required on my machine as well [05:11] ESphynx: oh. install imagemagick and run convert file.png file.svg [05:12] blakkheim, well, lemme rephrase it then. Is there a reason apt-get and synaptic hold back packages? Is that proper? Or will installing held back packages break my ubuntu? That's why I chose this chan. Also asking on #linux/ [05:12] ashepherdson: let me guess, you have an ati card? [05:12] hmm ok, thanks. but I was hoping to know why that is? if something changed or what? [05:12] thanks [05:12] anyone can help me??? [05:12] etzerd: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. :-) [05:12] blakkheim: Yes, ATI HD 4550 [05:12] I find it somewhat funny that .svg is the new standard for icons? What's the scoop? [05:12] ESphynx: i don't know why they changed it [05:12] my pidgim cannot tranfer data.......... [05:12] <^paradox^> when i right click and select to play with mplayer or vlc they play [05:12] how can i do?? [05:12] <^paradox^> nature calling brb [05:12] ashepherdson: ati is the enemy of your freedom - expect driver issues in linux with them :( [05:12] It worked perfectly on 9.04, is the best idea just to downgrade? [05:13] hacker: drag the file into the window? If this doesn't work then the sendee is not capable of receiving [05:13] my pidgim cannot tranfer data.......... [05:13] how can i do?? [05:13] jukebox-zero: it WONT "break".. its a copyright issue. by adding extra repositories, you do so at your own risk. its fine to do, BUT its like a disclaimer / EULA [05:13] hacker: please quit repeating [05:13] I followed many online guides and cant seem to get it, 9.04 had similar issues, but I eventually figured it out. [05:13] hacker, what do you mean by transfer data... Send files? [05:13] jukebox-zero: What packages are being held? [05:13] sorry.. [05:13] :( [05:13] hacker: ok.. who are you trying to transfer to.. another pidgin user [05:13] ?? or a MSN user ? [05:13] ym [05:13] yahoo messenger? [05:13] yahoo masanger [05:13] hacker: you could try asking in #pidgin [05:13] yahoo ? [05:13] yup [05:13] hacker: is it on the yahoo protocol ? [05:14] ie: its a yahoo account ? [05:14] hacker: You'll need to ask in #pidgin since that wouldnt be supported here [05:14] do you know yahoo rotocol?? [05:14] <^paradox^> i can audio and video mp3s and mpegs as long as i right click and use something other than totem [05:14] yes yahoo acc [05:14] hacker: use pidgin [05:14] hacker: pidgin never has had good support for file transfer [05:14] !ubottu pidgin [05:14] hacker: They told you to try #pidgin. try it [05:14] brianherman_home: he is..

See also !Kopete [05:14] !pidgin [05:15] hacker: umm.. thats your problem.. yahoo (and sometimes MSN) are inherently retarded about WHO can send and recieeve.. you can recieve fine, but sending, they often break it, to try and force you to use the "yahoo" client. [05:15] hacker, try a real Pidgeon... print out the file and roll it up nicely and attach it under it [05:15] blakkheim: So there is nothing I can do? Should I just downgrade to 9.04 as it worked perfectly there after some tweaking. [05:15] kinja-sheep, one moment, let me go check that box. [05:15] ESphynx:lol [05:15] <^paradox^> i need to know why totems doing this and why right clicking and selecting properties makes folders and desktop flash disappear and bring up home folder [05:15] they're more reliable than internet protocols [05:15] ashepherdson: i've never had an ati card myself so i can't help with your specific issue, sorry. downgrading is one option you have. [05:15] <`mOOse`> anybody recommend a temp file cleaner? [05:15] ESphynx: and inherently faster sometimes too :) [05:15] `mOOse`: rm /tmp/* ? :/ [05:16] <`mOOse`> heh - okee [05:16] Has anyone here used an ATI card with 9.10 and got it to work ??? [05:16] ok tq for ur help [05:16] <`mOOse`> no, I was thinking more um...invasive ;-) [05:16] `mOOse`: yer, what he (she) said [05:16] `m00se`: rm -f /tmp/* [05:16] ah guys... while I'm here, any clue why my sound is not working right now? I have 2 devices, built in and Audigy2... both showing up in Sound Pref/Hardware... [05:16] <`mOOse`> but that's not the only place temps are kept [05:16] and apps will play , aumix too [05:16] hacker: np.. it IS possible,but requires lots of messing around.. i still have MSN issues. i can recieve fine, but never send (unless its another pidgin user).. MSN refuses to recieve files from me [05:16] but no sound [05:16] <^paradox^> i cant have my pc acting like that. i go to properties a lot and it doesnt it with text file or pictures [05:17] <^paradox^> so whats going on? [05:17] Hey all, my name is Michael. I'm new to Ubuntu. Actually, Linux too. I need help getting my wireless card to work. I am totally new and don't all the commands and such. My wireless card is old, as is my laptop. My card is a wpc54g v4. My lspci info is here: http://pastebin.com/m56df2982 - I'm currently connected to the Internet via ethernet. [05:17] Would a sudden failure to authenticate anything with the root password indicate a GConf error? [05:17] MJ94: Ethernet controller: Linksys, A Division of Cisco Systems [AirConn] INPROCOMM IPN 2220 Wireless LAN Adapter (rev 01) is actually your wifi card [05:18] russianzilla: i wouldent think so. [05:18] `m00se`: the canonical answer is usually find /tmp -atime +4 -xdev | xargs rm -f [05:18] from cron that is [05:18] `mOOse`: bleachbit [05:18] <`mOOse`> k [05:18] DreamDemon: I have the card in, and ethernet. [05:18] Does this means all actions are allowed on a file: -rwxr-xr-x ? [05:18] <`mOOse`> yea I was thinking bleachbit too - just wanted to get the opinion of you guys too [05:18] never do such a thing without the -xdev -- you will lose data === Maelstrom is now known as vin [05:19] brb [05:19] MJ94: Your connected to the LAN port right? Thats should be the Realtek [05:19] MJ94_: the bot posted a page for you to read, did you read it? ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs ) [05:19] although personally I use tmpfs for my /tmp cleaner [05:19] ardchoille: thanks. [05:19] DreamDemon: so my wireless card works? [05:19] <`mOOse`> there's all the crap that flash and cookeis and history and assorted junk I want to nuke - I think bleachbit might do the trick [05:20] <`mOOse`> tmfs? [05:20] * `mOOse` goes googling [05:20] Dr_Willis: It's just that I'm having a sudden simultaneous error-fest across multiple apps, and they all seem to have some problem with GConf. [05:20] MJ94: Most wifi cards are supported these days. Check the link you were sent and see if it's working. From terminal, you can do a ifconfig and see if there is a wlan0 in there [05:20] Hello, anybody at all, ATI driver install on 9.10, I need serious help with this! and yes I realize getting a new graphics card is the best idea, however that is simply not in the cards at the moment. [05:21] DreamDemon: I will disconnect ethernet and see if I'm connected. Hold up. [05:21] I'm getting an error on opening an app about either not configuring ORBit right or having a stale NFS lock. [05:21] <`mOOse`> aha - tmpfs - temporary file system - yea that'd do it but I only got 1 gig rammage [05:21] russianzilla: please be more specific [05:21] kinja-sheep, libdns53 linux-headers-2.6.31-17 linux-headers-2.6.31-17-generic linux-image-2.6.31-17-generic and ureadahead would all be installed, several would be upgraded, mostly linux-headers, linux-image, and samba packages. [05:22] MJ94: ifconfig wlan0 will tell you if it's connected. It may not be getting an address however [05:22] brianherman_home: Upon opening Prism, I get the following error: http://pastebin.com/m61004fa9 [05:22] MJ94: lemme rephrase that, it should show if the card is live or not [05:22] jukebox-zero: You can roll them over if you want to. Use "sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude full-upgrade" [05:23] <^paradox^> ive done what you said and i basically achieved installing ubuntu-restricted-extras and thats it. other than that nothing changed. whats the issue? [05:23] michael@ubuntu:~$ ifconfig wlan0 wlan0: error fetching interface information: Device not found michael@ubuntu:~$ [05:23] Now it's my turn to ask a question. How can I get rid of the version info when compiling a new kernel? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m39cb9b5b [05:23] brianherman_home: I get the same error when trying to edit menu items in Alacarte, so I'm fairly certain it's neither of those apps. On top of that, Banshee crashes on startup. [05:23] ^paradox^: May I pm you? [05:23] MJ94_: you entered wlan0 twice [05:23] <^paradox^> yes ok [05:24] blakkheim: no [05:24] <^paradox^> archoille: u may [05:24] MJ94_: oh i misread, my bad [05:24] DreamDemon: it's somewhere in .config [05:24] Hello guys, I been really considering finally taking the linux plung, I've worked with PCs for 15ish years but mostly in the windows sector with a few dabbles in linux as a server. What I would like to do is have a linux version that is geared more towards the beginning programmer in things like java(I know things like PERL and php already) Is Ubuntu such a distro? [05:24] russianzilla: clear your tmp directory [05:24] kinja-sheep, so in short, I don't really get anything out of it, positive or negative? Aside from whatever minor changes are from package to package? [05:24] oh [05:24] DreamDemon: michael@ubuntu:~$ ifconfig wlan0 wlan0: error fetching interface information: Device not found michael@ubuntu:~$ [05:24] how do I mount a Windows share in Ubuntu? I see the way to do Connect To Server, but that only makes it accessible through smb:// does it ? === robert__ is now known as Warp4 [05:24] Serraphyn: the distro really isn't going to matter for something like that, anything will be fine [05:25] Serraphyn: while ubuntu is geared more towards just working out of the box, it has all the right tools for it [05:25] ESphynx: type "mount" in terminal to see where it's actually mounted [05:25] blakkheim, ah right, tahnks [05:25] Serraphyn, Ubuntu is beginner oriented but not really developer oriented. Although installing the software for different languages is easy. [05:25] DreamDemon: any ideas? [05:25] Serraphyn: that's where you're not gonna find much of a difference between various distros.. just get a major one that suits your personal style and it'll have all of the tools :) [05:25] jukebox-zero: Nothing major except the kernel. You'll be using a new kernel and if anything break, go back to the older kernel at BOOTUP. [05:25] !linux | jukebox-zero [05:25] jukebox-zero: Linux is the kernel (core) of the Ubuntu operating system. Many operating systems use Linux as a kernel. For more information on Linux in general, visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux [05:26] MJ94: Sounds like your in either restricted driver mode or it isnt loaded at all. Check the wifi how-to page [05:26] brianherman_home: That didn't fix it. [05:26] blakkheim, it's not listed in there [05:26] FiReSTaRT: thank you for the answers, I was actually looking at a sub-version of Ubuntu called mint. [05:26] Serraphyn, Mint is great! (but off-topic for this channel) [05:27] !minr Serraphyn [05:27] !mint Serraphyn [05:27] jukebox-zero: http://tinyurl.com/bfz24 (I use aptitude instead of apt-get all times). [05:27] !mint > Serraphyn [05:27] Serraphyn, please see my private message [05:27] kinja-sheep: good choice :) [05:27] There. [05:27] kinja-sheep, Ha, no that I get, I just wasn't sure how apt decides to hold back packages. I assumed there was a *very* good reason these weren't installed when I last ran apt-get upgrade. [05:28] MJ94_: Thanks for that, I'll look those up, you guys are so swell I feel like installing just ubuntu so I can ask ya questions [05:28] Serraphyn: :) [05:28] I loike Ubuntu already! [05:28] like* [05:28] jukebox-zero: From what I read, it holds back because of new kernel and new dependencies packages. That is why it is occuring. [05:28] Oh 2 minor questions, does ubuntu support Synergy? and Can I burn a CD ISO to a dvd? [05:28] !info synergy | Serraphyn [05:28] Serraphyn: don't know / yes [05:28] Serraphyn: yes on the second question [05:29] Serraphyn: synergy (source: synergy): Share mouse, keyboard and clipboard over the network. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.3.1-6ubuntu1 (karmic), package size 611 kB, installed size 1476 kB [05:29] ah so it does work. nice [05:29] Serraphyn: I use it all times. :-) [05:29] anybody with cisco VPN experience in linux in here? [05:29] Hi, Does anyone here know how I can edit my DNS setting on ubuntu? [05:30] Flootenkerp: sudo vi /etc/resolv.conf might be a good place to start [05:30] Flootenkerp, I do! what do you want to change? [05:30] The ip [05:30] How do I reassemble a raid 5? [05:31] kinja-sheep, well, good to know. I just got this system installed so I figured I'd be a little extra careful now that I got the bugs worked out of it. I seem to only have to get too indepth with it for the first few days after a fresh install. After three versions and 4 years of ubuntu, I really should know more about what I'm doing. :/ I do appreciate the knowlege. ;) [05:31] Does anyone here know if I can open a live shell from the Server Disc? (obv. not a graphical environment) [05:31] Is there a way to only allow users to ssh via keys instead of password? [05:32] Flootenkerp, Be more specific... [05:32] how do I disable my HDA device? [05:32] sontek: http://www.techrecipes.net/linux/disable-login-using-password-in-ssh.html [05:32] wweasel: thanks [05:33] Flootenkerp, If you edit /etc/resolv.conf add "nameserver " to the end. You should see a couple other's there. You can also configure your router to use a certain DNS. And you can tell the system to use a different DNS server than what DHCP gives it. [05:33] Flootenkerp, Does that help? [05:33] Can anyone else help me out here? It seems like something's wrong with GConf and it's affecting a bunch of apps. [05:33] A little, thanks. [05:34] can anyone help me with ssh...? [05:34] taofd: perhaps if you had a specific question [05:35] anyone know why i might be getting a Permission denied (publickey) error message when trying to ssh-copy-id? [05:35] Flootenkerp, Your router has an IP for it's domain name servers (probably got it from your ISP). It gives that DNS server to the DHCP clients on its network. [05:35] I just need to change this setting under the dns to 4.2.2.1 [05:36] Flootenkerp, Do you want your computer to always use 4.2.2.1? Cause if you just edit /etc/resolv.conf it will get over-written on reboot. [05:36] nickserv identify 6992 [05:36] I also can't seem to open gnome-terminal. [05:36] sean: nice [05:36] Yeah, edbian === sean is now known as Guest10163 [05:36] Flootenkerp, you need to edit /etc/dhclient.conf [05:37] Does anyone here know if I can open a live shell from the Server Disc? (obv. not a graphical environment) [05:37] Flootenkerp: If you're irked that your /etc/resolv.conf get changed occasionally, you could chattr +i the file for immutable. [05:37] Flootenkerp, Open that with some text editor as root. [05:37] so can someone please explain to me how to install flock web browser? [05:37] taofd, I can't help you, but the error means that you do not have the public key authentication properly configured [05:37] So type in that command in terminal, and then what would I do to add the dns [05:38] nickserv [05:38] Flootenkerp, Do you have that file open? Do you see the line "prepend domain-name-servers ..." [05:38] Hey all, my name is Michael. I'm new to Ubuntu. Actually, Linux too. I need help getting my wireless card to work. I am totally new and don't all the commands and such. My wireless card is old, as is my laptop. My card is a wpc54g v4. My lspci info is here: http://pastebin.com/m56df2982 - I'm currently connected to the Internet via ethernet. [05:38] Flootenkerp, It is commend out sorta near the top [05:38] edbian: Correction: /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf [05:38] wweasel, what i don't understand is what part have i not configured correctly... i configured two systems together and tried to pair them up, one system worked, while the other didn't [05:39] Flootenkerp, Do you see what kinja-sheep said? [05:39] edbian, I'm on vista now [05:39] kinja-sheep, Thanks [05:39] edbian: Np. [05:39] I can't connect to the internet on ubuntu without the dns setting [05:39] Guest10163, go to the download page. :) [05:39] how do i import RSA keys from one computer to another manually? [05:39] did that and downloaded it, but can't find directions on how to build it I guess... [05:40] Hey all, my name is Michael. I'm new to Ubuntu. Actually, Linux too. I need help getting my wireless card to work. I am totally new and don't all the commands and such. My wireless card is old, as is my laptop. My card is a wpc54g v4. My lspci info is here: http://pastebin.com/m56df2982 - I'm currently connected to the Internet via ethernet. [05:40] Flootenkerp, You need to find the line "#prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1" uncomment it by removing the # and change 127.0.0.1 to the ip you want to use. Then if you reboot or restart networking you will get your dns server from that line, then whatever is added by the dhcp server (router) do you understand? [05:40] running ubuntu 9,10 and installed updates today and lost desktop icons and wallpaper [05:41] Flootenkerp, You can tell what dns server you're using by looking at /etc/resolv.conf === rainofkayos is now known as SolarisBoy [05:41] MJ94, what version of ubuntu are you using? [05:41] Thanks edbian, you've been a great help.

[05:48] ㅁㄴㅇㄹ [05:48] sorry [05:49] There should just be a file called flock in the folder [05:49] no there are a bunch of .so, a couple .sh and no file just named flock [05:49] MJ94 sudo apt-get install nidiswrapper? or search ndiswrapper in synaptic if you don't wann use the command line [05:50] Guest10163: You may want to try #flock [05:50] hey guys... any idea why I won't have any sound with my Audigy 2? [05:50] i stand corrected there is one that is so named flock-bin but how do I run it? [05:50] hm [05:50] ok...so basically i have now managed to create a vpn connection. I know the ip adress of a remote server, and i would like to browse the filesystem of the server. Which command do i use for that? [05:50] doesn't exist [05:51] Guest10163: is there one w/o the -bin part? [05:51] jukebox-zero: E: Couldn't find package ndiswrapper [05:51] MJ94_: Meh. [05:51] no there is only one other that is flock-browser [05:51] Guest10163: Ina terminal you need to do two things. << sudo chmod +x flock-bin >> and then ./flock-bin [05:51] MJ94_: "sudo aptitude install ndiswrapper-common ndiswrapper-utils-1.9" [05:51] MJ94_: Copy and paste that in the terminal. [05:52] thank you dream [05:52] kinja-sheep: done, next? [05:52] MJ94_: Press Y to install, whatnot, downloading packages. Configuring. All of that is done, right? [05:53] ok...so basically i have now managed to create a vpn connection. I know the ip adress of a remote server, and i would like to browse the filesystem of the server. Which command do i use for that? [05:53] umm [05:53] MJ94_: "sudo aptitude install build-essential" too? [05:53] didnt get essential [05:54] You... [05:54] MJ94_: Do the command above. [05:54] here is what it says when i do ./flock-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libjemalloc.so: cannot open shared object file [05:55] What is the last edition of Ubuntu?

Check the view menu, zoom option [05:57] Snausages: good catch [05:57] MJ94_: Oh I don't know I told you to get build-essential. You probably don't need it (but we'll take care of that later). Grab the Windows installation drivers for your Wifi networking card from 's company. [05:57] i am finding ways around glitchs and stuff already though [05:57] not me [05:57] snausages....that did the trick...must have accidentally hit the shortcut.

Kind of wish they'd lock that feature out with a few more modifier keys [05:58] may i pm you neezer [05:58] . [05:58] kinja-sheep: iirc they're hard to find [05:58] sure... [05:58] ok...so basically i have now managed to create a vpn connection. I know the ip adress of a remote server, and i would like to browse the filesystem of the server.

Now the problem comes in that Ubuntu Karmic does not have an xorg.conf, and so i found out i have to kill X and run Xorg -configure. This i did, and now I have a xorg.conf I can use. However, when I add the required lines as listed in http://acecad.sourceforge.net/instal [06:12] l.html , X crashes on restart, so I have to delete that file. To make matters worse, grub no longer gives a failsafe boot option, so I have to boot from a livecd (which takes forever) and then sudo rm /media/my_hdd/etc/X11/xorg.conf. Any help would be greatly appreciated [06:12] ouyes, it is being purchased by my employer on a 1200 loan. I pay back every paycheck for 28 months for 1 year.

[06:14] unr3a1: no, they do not. go look at the supported hardware on the nVidia driver page i just gave you. [06:14] I need help [06:14] unr3a1: the GT220 is not listed [06:14] How do i find out what is holding a device? [06:14] what chip is GT220 used [06:14] doc-saintly, mount [06:14] I have tried unmounting it but it says it's not mounted [06:14] mneptok, http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_190.53.html [06:14] lspci -vv [06:15] zenlunatic: i'm getting device is in use or busy. and then when i do umount it says it's not mounted [06:15] neezer When I did that and tried to go to my ringtones thing again it said redirect to this page and sent me here http://www.iol.ie/~locka/mozilla/plugin.htm#download [06:15] How do I resize my partition without a live CD? [06:16] perhaps you cannot find GT220 in the driver supported list but you can use the same chip driver [06:16] kinja-sheep: ? [06:16] ! boot keys [06:16] what are you talking about? [06:16] for eg gf8600gs you can use G86 driver [06:16] MJ94_: Check the PM. [06:16] its in the supported lists for that link I sent you [06:16] MJ94_: Let me know when you obtained it. [06:17] MJ94_: Got the file? [06:17] unr3a1: ah, they finally took .53 out of beta [06:17] yes kinja-sheep [06:18] next? [06:18] anyone also know the drivers for the intel integrated 856 gx270 graphics driver? [06:18] unr3a1, "for 28 months for 1 year" i am confused [06:18] unr3a1: so install that. but be aware it will break and need to be reinstalled every time you update your kernel. [06:18] kinja-sheep: extract? [06:18] MJ94_: Unzip it. You're looking for neti2220.inf [06:19] MJ94_: And do not lost the zipped file (for future references on setting it up again; for both linuxes and windows) [06:19] Has anyone gotten google-sitemap-generator to work properly? [06:19] hi, all [06:19] what happens if I create a new partition table? [06:19] kinja-sheep: extracted, next [06:19] ho [06:19] yo [06:19] I figured it out [06:19] LinuX2half: all data goes *poof* [06:19] I think [06:19] LinuX2half: it replaces the other onw [06:19] unr3a1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:19] I just did an update and now the chosen theme isn't applied until I open Appearance, and the icon theme is not applied at all.. does anyone see this happening?? [06:19] *one [06:20] MJ94_: Where is the file at? [06:20] sorr [06:20] which? [06:20] ... [06:20] MJ94_: You should do something like "sudo ndiswrapper -i neti2220.inf" (or path to the file). [06:20] unr3a1, "for 28 months for 1 year" i am confused [06:20] if it erases all data will I able to add new partition in the table? [06:20] neezer?? [06:20] hmm [06:20] ouyes, It's $1200 [06:20] 1 minute [06:20] Hey there to all: I have an original problem. When I type ifconfig -a, there is no eth* listed ! Is that to say that the driver to eth0 was not found when I installed Jaunty on this Lenovo Y550P?? [06:20] LinuX2half: yes [06:21] my apologies [06:21] Im about to lose my internet connection. I'm on an oil rig and they are rigging down my apologies [06:21] kinja-sheep: extracted, next? [06:21] ouyes, I get paid twice a month, so I only get 28 paychecks in a year [06:21] MJ94_: Did the command ran fine? [06:21] oh [06:21] anyone here uses tomato? I want to know how to configure tomato so that all logging is done on my ubuntu machine [06:21] which? [06:21] Guest10163, good luck. I don't know what to tell you. the website looks like it is for older versions of firefox... [06:21] good luck. [06:21] ouyes, they divide 1200 by 28 and you get roughly 46. So every paycheck, $46 gets deducted by my employer before taxes. [06:21] sorry I couldn't help. [06:21] Okay, let say that I erase my hard drive and I want to add NTFS partition to the table, how would I be able to do that..? [06:22] kinja-sheep: which [06:22] MJ94_: "sudo ndiswrapper -i neti2220.inf" [06:22] !gparted | LinuX2half [06:22] LinuX2half: gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [06:22] Bilaw: it sounds like it. have a look in lspci -vv. it will say what driver is controlling the ethernet adapter [06:22] ouyes, hope that helps [06:23] kinja-sheep: couldn't open neti2220.inf: No such file or directory at /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper-1.9 line 219. [06:23] hi [06:24] MJ94_: "sudo updatedb && locate neti2220.inf" -- It say what? [06:24] okay, Gparted sound like a good idea but how do I manage to resize the partition when the hard drive is still mounted? [06:24] unr3a1, yep it is a little intricate to me [06:25] kinja-sheep: i type it, it says nothing [06:25] MJ94_: Where did you extract the files to? [06:25] ouyes, what do you mean? [06:25] LinuX2half, only "/" cannot be unmounted, anything else you should be able to unmount or use a live cd with gparted [06:26] kinja-sheep: michael@ubuntu:~$ sudo updatedb && locate neti2220.inf /home/michael/Desktop/neti2220.inf [06:26] Live CD, you mean I just pop the CD in and the computer will automatically boot the CD? [06:26] i have really sometimes been wondering why people want to make free software (opensource) when nobody wants to make for example free craftmanwork or free economic counseling or whatever. Why is it actually fair that the products softwaredevelopers produce should be free, when the product other jobtypes produce should not? [06:26] MJ94_: "sudo ndiswrapper -i /home/michael/Desktop/neti2220.inf" [06:26] LinuX2half: LinuX2half indeed [06:27] hm..? Well that process doesn't work with my "laptop" though. [06:27] kinja-sheep: michael@ubuntu:~$ sudo ndiswrapper -i /home/michael/Desktop/neti2220.inf installing neti2220 ... michael@ubuntu:~$ [06:27] unr3a1, i mean the pay back course is a little complex [06:27] MJ94_: Done. Try and reboot. [06:27] MJ94_: Come back here. [06:27] LinuX2half: yeah pretty much. You may need to encourage your machine to do that with a key on startup or a bios setting change (or virtual machine setup change) [06:27] It doesn't boot from the CD when I "pop" it in and it never held an indication of what to press. [06:27] Diverdude: probably because things like carpentry cost money to duplicate. [06:28] unr3a1, but the machine worth that much [06:28] LinuX2half: try the common ones- esc, F2, F10... [06:28] LinuX2half, yes, the ubuntu cd should have gparted [06:28] kinja-sheep: reboot? [06:28] MJ94_: Yes [06:28] Diverdude: i wouldn't say that s/w developers products 'should' be free, that's the choice of the developer. [06:28] then, ill connect and remove the ethernet [06:28] okay? [06:29] any idea why I won't have any sound with my Audigy 2? [06:29] Diverdude: There are a lot of volunteers in other feilds, it's just hard to mass produce physical products at no cost ( also many Free software developers are paid ). Please move this to #ubuntu-offtopic though [06:29] MJ94_: Don't remove the ethernet. Just take a look at top-right and see if your Wifi SSID come up. [06:29] there is another school of thought, though, that says that software is knowledge, and should be free. [06:29] LinuX2half: in many of them, f10 allows interactive choice of boot device. f2 lets you change bios settings to check or change default boot device order of attempt [06:29] Oh okay, the common keys. Yes, does it matter with I'm using a 8.10 Live CD and I'm running Karmic? [06:29] bizarrefish, well it only costs money to duplicate because work is needed and materials takes work to produce....But software also takes work to produce [06:29] ouyes, oh alright [06:29] hi anyone know how to get usb mobile modems working on 9.04 or 9.10 ? I had to reload windohs to use the internet and I dont like xp much Ive googled the issues but mostly Idont understand the forums, I need to save some .deb file somewhere with root privilages, its a bit confusing to me [06:29] ouyes, it doesn't bother me. [06:29] kinja-sheep: shutdown in one min [06:29] i tried to install netbeans 6.7.sh with sh command. but it cant open the file. help me [06:29] LinuX2half: not terribly, this is mostly about the BIOS maker/revision in your pc [06:29] I have a lot of old softweare for old pc's and other comptuiers - since the code was not open sourced.. the stuff is basically useless now. all that 'work' gond. [06:30] Great, now I know what keys is which. [06:30] LinuX2half: if there is any BIOS splashscreen, you can look it up by name and get a better educated guess of boot select hotkeys [06:30] unr3a1, i7 have a great performance among all CPUS [06:30] Diverdude: yes, but once it's produced, it doesn't cost money to replicate. whilst any other product needs the same cost for every item sold. Software has O(1) cost while normal stuff has O(n) cost [06:30] bizarrefish: cheers! RE this absence of eth0, I found this. Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation Device 1692 (rev 01). Errr. Is there a specific site where I should locate the driver, or… ? [06:30] :P [06:30] LinuX2half: then you can get started from the livecd which could allow you to run gparted and modify / on your HDD [06:31] Synaptic: "Totem is a simple yet featureful media player for GNOME." How can this program be "simple" and at the same time featureful? What Ubuntu competes with Totem and is not "simple"? [06:31] BIOS splash screen you say? Yeah, the VAIO logo appears when I turned the "laptop" on. [06:31] Hot keys? Should I just google; hotkeys for VAIO BIOS? [06:31] LinuX2half: maybe google around, sony probably publishes this info [06:32] MJ94_: Meh? [06:32] ouyes, yea they do. its only a 920, but it works for me [06:32] Does vlc require additional software to be able to play commercial dvds??? [06:32] !dvd | eltume [06:32] eltume: 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 [06:33] eltume: im not sure it does. vlc tends to have all teh codecs and things built in. [06:33] bizarrefish, well i do not agree...software needs to be maintained [06:33] bizarrefish: ouch, was that smiley addressed to me (suggesting : “good luck, mate, youre in for a tough one“)?? [06:34] Yes, the company did post the information online. It stated that F2 - enter BIOS setup, F10 -saves/exits BIOS setup [06:34] F9 - load default config. [06:34] Hey [06:34] kinja-sheep: poke [06:34] I'm trying to configure grub (device.map) to be able to boot without hardcoding BIOS device paths.. i.e using UUID's - is this possible ? [06:35] * kinja-sheep evade a poke [06:35] * Dr_Willis wishes these bios makers could come up with some standard on what keys should do what. [06:35] MJ94_: How goes the card? [06:35] Dr_Willis: I think they almost have to differentiate just to avoid patent claims [06:35] how can I find out? [06:35] Dr_Willis: tis what OFW is for :P [06:36] a common way to do everything [06:36] Okay, the menu is more sophisticated than my BIOS setup [06:36] bizarrefish, so no answer for that i guess? [06:36] Ben^: im pretty sure the device.map cant use uuids like that. [06:36] MJ94_: Look at Network Icon. Click on it. Select your Wifi. [06:36] Diverdude: oh, sorry, i didnt notice your reply [06:36] It didn't tell me a breath of what keys to press to "boot from the CD" [06:36] Software doesnt NEED to be maintained. it depends on the software. [06:37] Dr_Willis - hmm.. I have a problem that if I leave my eSata drive plugged in on boot, all my drives shuffle up by one. I.e sda becomes sdb, sbc -> sdc, etc. Causes me problems booting [06:37] Some people get the message "Press any key to boot from disc" [06:37] Dr_Willis, obviously grub looks in the wrong place and cant find by root partition [06:37] And this occurrence affects a wide variety of "laptops" [06:38] Diverdude: also, you are pushing against an open door here, i don't think software 'should' be free. some people do, i'm not one of them [06:38] Ben^: grub uses UUIDs by default [06:38] Jordan_U, not in Karmic? [06:38] Ben^: Yes, in karmic [06:38] Jordan_U, if that were the case I wouldn't be havin this problem [06:38] Ben^: with my system - whatever drive i tell teh bios to boot. becomes sda. but i have no esata drives. [06:38] Vanity and corruption rising in the world. :'( [06:38] Ben^: What problem? [06:38] I just know any software i develop will be free. [06:38] Ben^: can you change where the headers plug into your motherboard? [06:38] bizarrefish, ohh okay hehe :) I mean...i would like to pay for linux....i just use it because its a hell of a lot better than windows.... [06:38] kinja-sheep: http://tinypic.com/r/b7zaxc/6 [06:39] my angle is that Open source development works a hell of a lot better at ironing out bugs(if done properly) than the alternative [06:39] Jordan_U, if I leave my eSata plugged in, it slots in before my other disks in the bios boot order, causing all my device mappings to become invalid [06:39] Diverdude: and how long do you use it? <: [06:40] Jordan_U, i.e my eSata becomes sda, and the old sda is now sdb. etc. [06:40] MJ94_: I dislike the TinyPic's Images You'll Also Enjoy. I'm talking about the icon left of "Email" Icon on top-right. [06:40] DaZ, well not that long...a few months only [06:40] I mean Sony VGN series does boot from disc but I'm not too certain if Karmic comes along and ruins the whole pat [06:40] Ben^: the esata interface- is that a pass-through cable to the motherboard, or is it on a host bus adapter? [06:40] Ben^: so setup uuids in grub. [06:40] DaZ, why is that an issue? [06:40] Ben^: So what happens when you try to boot with grub? [06:40] Ben^: That shouldn't be a problem [06:40] kinja-sheep: all i see is wired [06:40] it fails dumps me into busybox [06:41] Ben^: Can you pastebin your /boot/grub/grub.cfg? [06:41] DaZ I've been trying, as far as I can see, only grub2 supports UUID's in device.map [06:41] Synaptic: "Totem is a simple yet featureful media player for GNOME." How can this program be "simple" and at the same time featureful? What Ubuntu competes with Totem and is not "simple"? [06:41] Wait, I want to install windows but the setup procedure said that it can't find a valid partition. What does that mean? [06:41] Diverdude: after a few years you will not love it so much :3 [06:41] MJ94_: What does "ndiswrapper -l" list? [06:41] I forget how to add a server [06:41] or at least connect to one [06:42] Does it mean that it can't cope with ext3..? [06:42] Ben^: You don't want to edit device.map [06:42] kinja-sheep: neti2220 : driver installed device (17FE:2220) present [06:42] Ben^: It won't help you in any way [06:42] Sure, NTFS is the original partition for windows but whats the difference between ext3 and NTFS? [06:43] Ubuntu 9.10 just wont run on my pc.. if i say in safe graphics mode to try without installing it just hangs [06:43] Jordan_U, pastebin as requested: http://pastebin.com/d4228f4ea [06:43] I mean they both are file system, organizing data but if that all they all are? [06:43] I got a P4 1 gb ram [06:43] I downloaded a program called vtigercrm for Linux and its ended up being a .bin file ... what do I do with it to make it run in Ubuntu? When I double click it I get this error: Could not display "/home/zeth/Downloads/vtigercrm-5.1.0.bin". The file is of an unknown type. [06:43] kinja-sheep: neti2220 : driver installed device (17FE:2220) present [06:43] Jordan_U, device.map is what translates bios devices to kernel devices. Its been the fix so far, albeit manual [06:43] I just installed a wireless driver and the interface shows up on ifconfig but I can't do ifup or iwlist scan [06:43] what might possibly be the problem? [06:43] if i check the cd it says kernal problem.. something restarting the system [06:43] it used to be working before I updated from 9.04 to 9.10 [06:43] Ben^: so you're having problem with the grub (hdx,y) thingie? [06:44] unr3a1, i plan to buy a laptop as intel launched the 32nm cpu ,but when i see your situation, i hizatate [06:44] DaZ Yep, as my bios devices tend to be rather fluid [06:44] Ben^: Never seen /etc/grub.d/10_lupin before, can you pastebin it? ( I assume you installed via wubi? ) [06:44] root=/dev/sdb2 [06:44] lolwut [; [06:44] unr3a1, sorry my poor english [06:44] Jordan_U, I did yeah, [06:44] MJ94_: Meh. Does "sudo lshw -c network" say the same thing? [06:45] i am still trying hard to learn EN' [06:45] Jordan_U, I've been lookin at that lupin thing too. Everything I find seems to point that it should be using UUID's (excluding device.map), but as you can see in the grub.cfg, hard device paths are references [06:45] ouyes, what do you mean "your situation"? You think the i7 is worse than 32nm cpu? [06:45] Jordan_U, *referenced. [06:45] Ben^: You should file a bug against lupin/wubis that they don't use UUIDs [06:45] I forget how to add a server [06:45] kinja-sheep: http://pastebin.com/m3b645b45 [06:45] Jordan_U, lupin: http://pastebin.com/d165b00e5 [06:46] unr3a1, of course not, i mean it is not easy to earn a material based living [06:47] Jordan_U, I'm not sure it's a bug, more a symptom of the setup. grub has to be able to ref. the host ntfs filesystem before it can even get to any of the other config. Hence the need for the lower level mapping to be right [06:47] kinja-sheep: http://pastebin.com/m3b645b45 [06:47] Hmm actually thats a point. There must be some grub config on the ntfs fs [06:47] hi would someone please help me with ubuntu 9.10 that wont boot [06:47] MJ94_: I get it first time. :) [06:48] kinja-sheep: now what [06:48] unr3a1, nowdays money is hard to make but easy to spend [06:48] I'm running this from a live disc [06:48] !sound [06:48] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [06:48] Ben^: Are you confortable editing a shell script? [06:48] any reason why firefox preferences are not displaying? [06:48] ouyes, OH I see what you mean. I could afford to drop the $1200 in one shot if I saved for.. 4 months. I just chose to do it this way. [06:48] Jordan_U, fo' sho. vi me up [06:49] unr3a1, what system did you install to your PC [06:49] kinja-sheep: so did it work? [06:49] vi me up, scotty [06:49] Ubuntu 9.04 and Windows 7 64-bit dual-boot [06:49] ouyes, but I much prefer linux [06:49] Ben^: You can work around this problem by adding a new line after line 62 with "LINUX_HOST_DEVICE=UUID=aef8aa18-ae9f-4860-98f9-7fe239959d4c" ( with your actual UUID of course ) [06:50] MJ94_: I'm reading. See, that should work now (unless you have to configure something else), but I'm reading things. [06:50] Jordan_U, lookin... [06:50] eh [06:50] grub2 is too complex >: [06:50] kinja-sheep: should i pull my ethernet and check? [06:50] hi everyone, i've got a logitech g15 keyboard, and it seems to be working great, except I can't use the g keys (g1-g6) I turn on g15macro, and go to keyboard shortcuts in gnome and it recognizes it when I try to bind it, but it doesn't work when trying to use it after binding it [06:50] MJ94_: You say you only see Wired, but no Wifi? [06:50] right [06:50] hey guys can you tell me why U9.10 wont work on a P4 [06:51] DaZ: Actually in this case grub legacy would do the same thing, you just would have to edit C code to fix it :) [06:51] Jordan_U, override the conditional block & hardcode the UUID. hrmm yuk.. spose its a solution :) Not very pythonic tho :P [06:51] josephnexus: i was thinking theres some special tools/pacakges to install to make full use of that keyboard. I got one. but its not hooked up right now. [06:51] unr3a1, linux will cost you a lot of time to learn how to use but it does worth the time, use linux, get away from virus and free software [06:51] Ben^: Yea, I'm still looking at a real fix. [06:51] Dr_willis: there are some packages [06:51] hey guys what's the easiest way to subscribe to something to find out when a new ubuntu kernel is released? [06:51] ouyes, I am scared of 9.10... lol. I just haven't read up on it. [06:51] c_nick: no but I can tell you that I use 9.04 in this P$ [06:51] they are all installed and it is working great [06:51] Jordan_U: which makes legacy kind of simpler. [06:51] except for these buttons [06:52] adante: linux.org [06:52] MJ94_: "lsmod | grep ndis" list anything? [06:52] ouyes, Oh I definitely know that. All I run is Ubuntu. I need windows for just a couple work things. [06:52] DaZ: editing C and recompiling is simpler than editing a shell script? [06:52] Jordan_U, wonder why the block failts to pick up a UUID. Might have a play with grub-probe [06:52] I just found out that ubuntu has this awesome synaptic application manager [06:52] Can I use that to install anything I want? [06:52] hm [06:52] And not build stuff? [06:52] KayAteChef_: but that 9.04 NRE or normal one [06:52] Ben^: Could you file a bug report on launchpad and subscribe me ( jordanu )? [06:52] ouyes, it has a 640GB HDD, and only 100 of it makes up the Win7 partition. [06:52] DaZ: whereabouts is the ubuntu specific stuff? [06:52] eh, i'm lost [06:53] unr3a1, i use ubuntu for my personal time, use window for work things [06:53] normal one c_nick [06:53] Ben^: Tomorrow I might attatch a patch with a proper fix to it [06:53] hold on... one sec [06:53] brb [06:53] kinja-sheep: no [06:53] KayAteChef_: how much ram [06:53] 256MB [06:53] unr3a1, 640 gb it quite a mount [06:53] KayAteChef_: and Mobo [06:53] !apt | philyaw [06:53] philyaw: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) [06:53] anyone know what to do with a .bin file for Linux? [06:53] test [06:53] MJ94_: Okay. Do this --> "sudo depmod -a && sleep 2 && sudo modprobe ndiswrapper" [06:53] !sudo | MJ94_ [06:53] MJ94_, please see my private message [06:54] Acer 3600 c_nick [06:54] Hi, I have a pretty advanced question, but hopefully someone can help. In the terminal, I want to copy an entire directory and all subdirectories and files recursively, but without the folder structure to another folder. How can I do this? [06:54] zetheroo: depends on what it is... normally you 'run' it if its a executable/installer [06:54] Jordan_U, Hmm.. Spose I could... I have a patch to properly show debtorrent apt sources in software sources (software-properties-gtk) too, might submit at same time [06:54] How do I view .vsd files on ubuntu [06:54] aliendude5300: some creative use of the 'find' command would be my guess. [06:54] Dr_Willis: I downloaded a program called vtigercrm for Linux and its ended up being a .bin file ... what do I do with it to make it run in Ubuntu? When I double click it I get this error: Could not display "/home/zeth/Downloads/vtigercrm-5.1.0.bin". The file is of an unknown type. [06:54] user101, isn't that visio format? [06:54] MJ94_: Done? Check "Wired" [06:54] rewt: yes [06:54] zetheroo chmod +x filename [06:55] zetheroo, then ./filename [06:55] zetheroo: dont double click. use the terminal.. like aliendude5300 sayd [06:55] brb [06:55] kinja-sheep: still only wired [06:55] Dr_Willis, sigh... that's going to be a pain to do that way... I was hoping for some miracle command :/ [06:55] Dr_Willis aliendude5300 : so every time I want to open the app I will have to do it form the terminal? [06:55] so ubuntu cannot open .vsd files at all!!!!! [06:56] zetheroo, no. [06:56] yo [06:56] MJ94_: Meh. Try "killall nm-applet && sleep 2 && nm-applet" [06:56] Ben^: Could you add set -x at the top of that script and pastebin the output from update-grub? [06:56] ouyes, sorry. had to fix something [06:56] zetheroo, once the executable byte is set you can just double click [06:56] Jordan_U, think I sussed it, posting update grub.cfg [06:56] aliendude5300: ah ok .. thanks [06:56] can i make my windows button pull up the ubuntu menu [06:56] unr3a1, it doesn't matter [06:56] zetheroo, technically you don't need the terminal AT ALL, not even to set it as executable, but it's _faster_ that way. [06:56] or is there another shortcut [06:56] Jordan_U, http://pastebin.com/d2064a337 [06:56] MJ94_: If that does not work, then I'm [explicitiy] outta of ideas. [06:57] Jordan_U, that looks bit better [06:57] aliendude5300: right ... well I set it to be an executable in Properties through the gui ... but that did not change anything ... [06:57] kinja-sheep: michael@ubuntu:~$ killall nm-applet && sleep 2 && nm-applet ^C** Message: Caught signal 2, shutting down... michael@ubuntu:~$ killall nm-applet && sleep 2 && nm-applet nm-applet: no process found michael@ubuntu:~$ killall nm-applet && sleep 2 && nm-applet nm-applet: no process found [06:57] 55522 [06:57] GAH :( [06:57] zetheroo, it may be a terminal only app. What is it called? [06:57] MJ94_: You're using Gnome? [06:57] Jordan_U: i'll argue with that when i'll get some more sleep, but i don't recall editing sourcecode to set anything :3 [06:57] Ben^: That's still using /dev/sdb2 [06:57] MJ94_: Yeah you are, I saw the SS. [06:57] yes [06:58] aliendude5300: vtiger [06:58] DaZ: Did you install Ubuntu via wubi? [06:58] MJ94_: Pastebin "ifconfig" [06:58] aliendude5300: its a CMS app [06:58] kinja-sheep: I have to sleep. [06:58] i don't use ubuntu. [06:58] so ubuntu cannot open .vsd files at all!!!!! I need to switch to windows even for viewing it??????? [06:58] this is shame [06:58] Jordan_U, Least it's got the UUID's in there now tho.. [06:58] DaZ: This is a bug specific to the windows based Ubuntu installer. [06:58] last month the main board of my laptop was damaged under unbuntu 9.10, then i turn to 8.04LST [06:59] Jordan_U, know what that search clause does? The root is set the line above so it seems kindof redundant [06:59] zetheroo, yeah... my guess is it's a terminal app to install vtiger so it can be run from within a web browser. CMS apps are typically for webservers. [06:59] kinja-sheep: http://pastebin.com/m9eab252 [06:59] i see. [06:59] You probably need a LAMP server pre-installed to use that. [07:00] be careful the firefox is a dangerous application under ubuntu in some types of laptop [07:00] if you don't have a lamp server installed, I'd try running sudo tasksel and checking LAMP Server. [07:00] kinja-sheep: http://pastebin.com/m9eab252 [07:00] That might be needed for the backend of the server application. [07:00] :/ [07:00] idk what to do now [07:00] kinja-sheep: [07:00] :( [07:00] Too funny video --> http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/llama [07:00] Ben^: Actually, it didn't need them since the initial value of $root is set with the drive grub loaded from, so it shouldn't be affected by drive order changing [07:01] DaZ, you dont use it why you here? [07:01] Ben^: linux does still need UUIDs though [07:01] DaZ, to learn to use it as planed ? [07:01] ouyes: to spread windows propaganda. [07:01] MJ94_: Oh, run "nm-applet &" -- You CTRL+C to kill it off. [07:01] Jordan_U, yeah. those set root lines should be able to be modded to be set root=UUID=2837423482 though I believe [07:01] MJ94_: Still no wireless? :< [07:02] ni [07:02] !Ping [07:02] Here I am, brain the size of a planet and you expect me to respond to a ping? How depressing. [07:02] no [07:02] !ping [07:02] DaZ, YOU KIDDING ME? [07:02] kinja-sheep: I have to go -we hafta hurry [07:02] Ben^: The first set root=(hdX,X) is for backword compatability with previous versions of grub that didn't support search by UUID [07:02] ouyes: never. [07:02] MJ94_: I tried what I can. You want to try terminal? [07:02] in trying to install vtiger (CRM software) I am being asked this: Specify the location of /bin/httpd in your system (For example /etc/httpd/bin) : [07:02] DaZ, a virus based windows [07:02] rewt: is it not a shame [07:03] !answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything [07:03] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [07:03] meh. [07:03] Jordan_U, ahhh, right. [07:03] If anyone didn't get what I was trying to do, I want to copy an entire folder, all the subfolders, and any files within those recursively to another folder without keeping the folder structure -- basically, no subfolders within that new folder, but all the files from all the subfolders of the original folder. Is there a way to do that? [07:03] kinja-sheep: what else [07:03] MJ94_: "lsmod | grep ndis" -- You got something? [07:03] ? [07:03] How do i know if i have gnome or what [07:03] kinja-sheep: lsmod | grep ndi [07:03] oops [07:04] ouyes, well, thanks for the convo [07:04] aliendude5300: in trying to install vtiger (CRM software) I am being asked this: Specify the location of /bin/httpd in your system (For example /etc/httpd/bin) : [07:04] michael@ubuntu:~$ lsmod | grep ndis ndiswrapper 185404 0 [07:04] aliendude5300: any ideas? [07:04] philyaw: If there is a system menu at the top of the screen, and the drop down includes "About Gnome", you are using Gnome [07:04] philyaw: echo $DESKTOP_SESSION? <: [07:04] MJ94_: Try "sudo ifdown wlan0 && sudo ifup wlan0" (if it exists) [07:04] zetheroo, yeah, that application is intended for web servers, to be used through a browser. You need apache installed. [07:04] unr3a1, convo? [07:04] Well Xchat didn't install and i picked the one for gnome [07:04] How do i know which to select [07:04] zetheroo, did you set up the LAMP server? [07:04] philyaw: just type gnome on terminal and press tab. if ya see a lot of gnome commands then its gnome else not [07:05] kinja-sheep: i g2g [07:05] MJ94_: Okay. :\ [07:05] philyaw: Gnome apps run fine in XFCE/KDE/anything else and vice versa [07:05] user101: i have a lot of gnome commands and i'm using kde [07:05] how come? >: [07:05] aliendude5300: right ... well it asks if I want to install apache that is in the vtiger package and I say yes and then it asks me this [07:05] bye kinja-sheep [07:05] thanks [07:05] MJ94_: Come back later or something. [07:05] aliendude5300: LAMP? ... I guess not ... [07:05] DaZ: you are hybrid [07:05] kinja-sheep: ok [07:05] zetheroo, don't install it from the vtiger package. It's a MUCH better idea to do it through the Ubuntu repositories. [07:06] zetheroo, I can help you set up a LAMP server for vtiger -- it's really easy. [07:06] zetheroo: save yourself misery and install nginx + rails or nginx + pylons. [07:06] aliendude5300: so I should quit this installer then? [07:06] Yeah -- quit it with Ctrl-C [07:06] Jordan_U, Actually, that 10_lupid script I pastebin'd doesn't really correspond to the bash.cfg that I generated. strange. [07:06] jtoft: english please ... :) [07:07] aliendude5300: done [07:07] zetheroo: don't install LAMP, unless you want a miserable life. [07:07] zetheroo, you should be at a terminal prompt now. Type sudo tasksel. [07:07] zetheroo: apache and php = misery [07:07] ok now I am confused [07:07] BlueMoooon // hello [07:07] Ben^: Could you add set -x at the top of that script and pastebin the output from update-grub? [07:07] hello [07:07] jtoft: and python can't be part of lamp? <: [07:07] DaZ: why bother when you can use nginx [07:07] Jordan_U, which script ? [07:07] DaZ Jordan_U : any visio file viewer on karmic? [07:07] aliendude5300: what is jtoft talking about? [07:08] BlueMoooon // I can speak 한글 [07:08] you've got a point. [07:08] aliendude5300: I don't want to be miserable ... :P [07:08] ? [07:08] devunt: you can speak squares? [07:08] devunt // I can't see [07:08] zetheroo, type your password when asked (if you didn't recently become root) then when a menu appears -- scroll down to LAMP server and check that. Do not uncheck anything else that is already checked. [07:08] I only see ??? [07:08] jtoft, he [07:08] Ben^: /etc/grub.d/10_lupin [07:08] zetheroo: look at nginx for a reverse proxy to either rails (mongrel_cluster) or pylons (paster cluster) [07:08] DaZ // yes. I can speak 하하하하하 [07:08] zetheroo: use a decent language, php is terrible. [07:08] jtoft, he is trying to install a web application that needs a server backend with MySQL, Apache and PHP. [07:09] aliendude5300: oh, was thinking he was programming. [07:09] f [07:09] ¤© [07:09] aliendude5300: nevermind then, have fun with whatever you're doing. [07:09] jtoft, no, that would be much more work. [07:09] Jordan_U, whats the -x ? [07:09] aliendude5300: ok I am going ahead with your input then ... hang on [07:09] Ben^: Sends every command the script runs to stderr [07:09] Jordan_U, lol nm, worked that one out [07:10] unr3a1, see my thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1376583 [07:10] zetheroo, anyways, only check LAMP server -- with the space bar -- don't uncheck anything else, or you might accidentally remove your desktop environment or something like the ability to print. That would be bad. [07:10] Once done selecting LAMP server, hit tab, and hit enter on OK. [07:10] Jordan_U, http://pastebin.com/d331e0b6c [07:10] hey, devunt [07:10] I was under the impression he was about to dive into the darkside and make himself miserable for the next couple years of his life, plus PHP promotes and rewards terrible coding paradigms [07:11] aliendude5300: hehe ... ok ... its retrieving files ... [07:11] Why? [07:11] aside from being miserable to program in and read. [07:11] zetheroo, all the needed components to run most web applications will then be installed. (Apache, MySQL, and PHP) [07:11] oh, I mean olleh. [07:11] zetheroo, making the root password the same as your user password is a bad idea by the way... [07:11] jtoft: so for what I am doing it should not matter right? ... running a CRM app that is ... [07:11] BlueMoooon // Sn [07:12] What? [07:12] What Irc client do you all use?

[07:12] hi im using tiger to scan my system as root but when the scan finishes it tells me permission denied when i want to look at the log files [07:12] aliendude5300: um .. user password? you mean for Ubuntu or the application? [07:12] I liked Quassel on Kubuntu but seems like it wont run on Ubuntu [07:12] xhcat for me [07:12] x chat [07:12] zetheroo: I was under the impression you were writing this yourself. [07:13] what about you ? [07:13] zetheroo, it's a bad idea to make your MySQL root (or Linux root) password the same as your user password for Ubuntu. [07:13] jtoft: hehe ... no programming going on here .. :) just trying to switch my business tools to open source ... [07:13] can someone help pls [07:13] Whats the easy way to upgrade to ubuntu 9 from 8? [07:13] zetheroo: what applications are you trying to use? I might have better, non-php suggestions. [07:13] there are two ways [07:13] ouyes, ah... ok [07:13] jtoft, vtiger. [07:13] ½ß¶‰ÂèÆ丮 [07:14] aliendude5300: oh ok ... so i will be prompted to create a MySQL password then ... [07:14] ?

[07:14] jtoft: and GnuCash for Accounting [07:14] BlueMoooon // Thanks. [07:14] zetheroo, did you get a prompt for a MySQL root password? You should've unless you already had MySQL installed for some reason. [07:15] jtoft: GnuCash seems to work fine ... [07:15] SCIM is stupid. [07:15] Quasar Linux is a good accounting program [07:15] Synaptic: "Totem is a simple yet featureful media player for GNOME." How can this program be "simple" and at the same time featureful? What Ubuntu competes with Totem and is not "simple"? [07:15] aliendude5300: still retrieving files ... ;-) [07:15] can anyone help pls? [07:16] !ask [07:16] 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. :-) [07:16] one is you must have a good network, one is you have the installation cd or dvd of 9 [07:16] bullgard: the settings and stuff in vlc can be rather complex. same for mplayer.

[07:17] sorry [07:17] zetheroo, are they quite new dvd's? [07:17] bullgard: its all buzzwords and meaningless terms these days... [07:17] zetheroo: I'd be looking at http://www.fatfreecrm.com/, personally for your crm... but that's me. I really like clean interfaces. [07:18] as far as I know, there's 2 types of protection that Linux can't read yet [07:18] Dr_Willis: Right. -- Thank you for commenting.

[07:32] FiReSTaRT, 5 megabit or 5 megabyte? [07:32] aliendude5300: megabit [07:32] FiReSTaRT: so with a normal ADSL connection if I change my hardware and firmware on that hardware I am on my way? [07:32] aliendude5300: but they're the only ones that allow mlppp in ontario [07:33] zetheroo: no.. most isp's don't allow mlppp connections [07:33] FiReSTaRT, oh... I thought you meant 5 megabytes... 0.o Mine is 3.2 Megabytes, or 25 Mbit/s downstream [07:33] aliendude5300: in that case you can dl a cd in under 10min lol [07:33] Jordan_U, it's case sensitivity. it's testing lowercase, but the devfs has all the UUID's in uppercase [07:33] anyone know anything about tiger ? [07:34] Is anyone here using usb modems? [07:34] FiReSTaRT, I can download a 600MB CD in a minute and a half. :P [07:34] Ben^: Ahh [07:34] wtf dongle?

[07:35] Mb* [07:35] devunt [07:35] hey [07:35] jtoft, no, 25Mbit. [07:35] i doubt tht very much [07:36] why [07:36] Jordan_U, ref: the set -x output of update-grub, see line 36 (http://pastebin.com/d331e0b6c), and the ls of /dev/disk/by-uuid (http://pastebin.com/d4af880b) [07:36] jtoft MB is not the same as Mb. [07:36] 바보? [07:36] ah, 2MB has a problem [07:36] aliendude5300: I did correct myself, in fact before you typed. [07:36] anyone from india? [07:36] devunt , 2MB have problem? [07:36] jtoft, missed that. :/ [07:36] balkierode whats up [07:36] yes [07:36] do you know 2MB?

[07:37] Dude, we're shafted using 2 lines, a T1 and a 6Mb disl line because that's all they offer here [07:37] zetheroo: you need to install php to use it [07:37] zetheroo: say yes. [07:38] phant0m: need help in configuring my airtel usb modem in linux.. [07:38] zetheroo, you should already have PHP. Yeah, say no. [07:38] ok whats wrong with it [07:38] jtoft: I thought PHP came through LAMP === Bwahah is now known as DrManhattan [07:38] I already said no to installing Apache .. [07:38] zetheroo: I figured apt would've set it up properly for you. didn't know vtiger had a seperate fakeroot install [07:39] what should i do after the modprobe usbserial product= vendor= cmd? [07:39] Ben^: BTW, the uppercase UUID must be specific to ntfs, all the entries in /dev/disk/by-uuid/ for me are lower case [07:39] Jordan_U, seems to be grub-probe that's in the wrong. [07:40] Jordan_U, all other tools including the kernel dev fs lists uppercase [07:40] Jordan_U, casing should be allowed though, as is seen in the devfs [07:40] [Karmic] Synaptic: "The DEB program package »xine« is a transitional package." What is a "transitional" package? [07:41] aliendude5300: ok this is wierd ... it asks if I want to install Apache and I say no ... then it asks "Do you have Apache in your system and do you want vtigerCRM to use the same?" and I say yes .... then is asks "vtiger CRM will install PHP 5.1.2 and associate with the Apache which is already installed in the machine. If php is already installed in your machine and is associated with apache then it is advisable to select the "Install Apache" option as con [07:41] [Karmic] Synaptic: "The DEB program package »totem-xine« is a transitional package." What is a "transitional" package? [07:42] Ben^: Just make sure that grub accepts the uppercase UUID. If it does, then file a bug report against grub [07:42] Ben^: If not, you might still want to file a bug report against grub, but there may be a good reason [07:42] Does anyone know which ports are the ones used by kget? wget? [07:42] aliendude5300: by the way its Apache 2.0.52 that is buundled with vtiger ... [07:43] jtoft: I like the look of that CRM software you linked to ... very slick [07:43] Alan502: i woudl think it would use the normal http and ftp ports since it transfers files over http or ftp. [07:43] devunt , bye [07:43] hi can anyone here assist with ubuntu 9.10 boot error [07:43] Dr_Willis, which are those? [07:44] Alan502: http is like 80 and i forget qwhat ftp is.. why does it matter? [07:44] Dr_Willis, by the way, i know this is off topic but do you know which ports are used by windows file sharing? [07:44] ftp=File transfer protocol [07:44] Alan502: those are 'samba/netbios ports' [07:44] zetheroo, hmm... :/ Let it install PHP I guess. [07:45] zetheroo, don't know what to tell you other than you already have both Apache and PHP installed. [07:45] Alan502: look in /etc/services [07:45] Dr_Willis, hmmm i think i'll keep googling thanks :D [07:45] # Updated from http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers and other [07:45] # sources like http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/etc/services .

[07:46] aliendude5300: ok well then it asks : Specify the location of /bin/httpd in your system (For example /etc/httpd/bin) : [07:47] Ok, is there an online install variant anywhere? I have a system with no removable media option and no 'boot on usb' option. [07:47] Wow, anyone using the beta (unstable) version of AWN? [07:47] zetheroo, hold on while I check that out...

[07:56] How exactly do I get flash to play through headphones? [07:56] zetheroo: Eh. if you're using other things that are php based just stick with vtiger. fatfreecrm is a rails app, so... personally I'd use mongrel_cluster and nginx and upstream 3-4 nodes through it. [07:57] Hey guys, every time I try to install a package I get this error: http://pastie.org/772267 [07:57] Can anyone tell me how to fix that?

[08:01] I might have at some point [08:01] that's a strong possibility [08:01] what should I do in that case? [08:02] check the permissions/ownership of the various firefox dirx.. and set them tobe owned by the user. [08:02] Thanks again jtoft, that fixed it [08:02] buzzomatic: that's what I sit here all day for. Just to help people like you. [08:02] look can someone pls help me to resolve this permissions issue [08:02] buzzomatic: Well, not really. You're welcome :) glad I could help [08:03] aliendude5300: ok it seems I should be installing from source instead of from this .bin package ... so downloading the source package now [08:03] jtoft can you help me resolve this issue pls? [08:04] I do have another question, JFS, is it bad and likely to have caused that file to become corrupt and ubuntu to hang during boot 50% of the time?

[08:08] dammit those auto-capitalizers. [08:08] sudo -i, I mean. [08:08] phant0m: You shouldn't have a root password [08:08] phant0m: excatly WHAT are you tuping into the terminal?

[08:10] phant0m: yep.. bash basics.. you are trying to improperly run a log file [08:10] right [08:10] Dr_Willis: Good call [08:10] phant0m: Uh... You're trying to run that, as a program. [08:10] Now is a good time to spend an hr reading some bash tutiorial/shell sites.guides === puchat3k_ is now known as puchat3k [08:11] ok [08:11] I'm having some trouble updating my initrd image for an edited .dsdt file. [08:11] phant0m: yes, Dr_Willis is right, it's always good to learn how to manipulate files via command line [08:12] Anyone know why my iasl command would give a .hex file and not a .aml file, too? [08:12] thats about the 4th time this weekk ive seen peole seem to think that running a file some how execute4s it even if its just data. :) [08:12] Dr_Willis: Old Windows habits [08:12] shows how imporntant itis to ask a 'proper' question [08:12] ardchoille: im not sure that works under windwos either. :) [08:13] actually isent there some 'start' command? i forget.. that launches somthing based on teh mimetype [08:13] Dr_Willis: bah, forgot the "?", that was supposed to be a question [08:13] No idea, haven't touched Windows in 8 years [08:13] i mean in kde/gnome... [08:14] I seem to recall some cli app for kde or gnome that did that... [08:14] Dr_Willis: in gnome you can do "gedita file" or "gnome-open file" or even "xdg-open file" [08:14] Oh, no idea [08:14] hi. whenever i connect my sony ericson k800i phone via usb to my linux system, it is mounted as usb mass storage device, but also my static network configuration (NOT using networkmanager) is changed, i.e. /etc/resolv.conf is overwritten. any idea what to do to prevent this from happening, or..why this is happening? [08:14] Dr_Willis: AFAIR most distros have xdg-open somefile, which will use default app for opening files in X. [08:15] ardchoille: Sorry but I'm relatively new to Ubuntu. Are you familiar with editing .dsdt files? [08:15] theadmin: yeah [08:15] thetymeis: Nope, not even sure what that is [08:15] ardchoille: okay thanks anyway. [08:16] hi all [08:16] does anyone know how to play .VOB files on Ubuntu? [08:16] DavidJHeinrich: I seem to recall just dragging a .vob file into the mplayer window and it played [08:17] or was it Xine [08:17] so if I d/l a series of .VOB's from a torrent, should work? [08:17] It should [08:17] I use Totem [08:17] should work w/ that too? [08:17] Oh, no idea, I don't use that .. "thing" [08:17] ardchoille: Huh?

[09:56] what does this command do "sudo chown -R www-data: directory-name" [09:58] zetheroo: that command does what you need it to. it makes the dir and all subdirs owned by www-data user [09:58] ardchoille: and I suppose I am www-data user ?

[10:03] jtaji: sudo find vtigercrm/ -type d -exec chmod 750 {} \; <-- is not good, it will remove the execute bit on all folders for all others [10:03] ardchoille: uh huh [10:03] petsounds, sorry i have had a quick meal ,howsthings going [10:03] ardchoille: that's not fundamentally good or bad, it's a security decision [10:03] zetheroo: all of them === Terminator_ is now known as Terminator [10:05] zetheroo: if you chmod -R 750 any folders in your server, people won't be able to access the data therein [10:05] ardchoille: ok well i am trying with the single command first ...

[10:59] ...conclusion that you got the wrong password (WEP anyway); if i use full manual IP/DNS configuration, it believe that its connected but it cannot connect anywhere; i got same problem on Ubuntu 9.10, 10.04, and debian! [11:00] taofd: Are you trying to limit the bandwidth usage? i.e., limit XYZ to 500Kbit/s [11:01] test [11:01] taofd: If so, look into trickle or wondershaper.

[11:04] taofd: It depends on what you're trying to do. trickle requires a wrapper script be ran around the programs while wondershaper (and the underlying tools it uses) works at a system-level. [11:05] nick125, sounds like wondershaper is what i need then :) thanks [11:05] taofd: If wondershaper doesn't work, look into the underlying program that it uses, tc.

My sound is bugged in 910 and I can't get it to work at all... [11:09] taofd: What kind of limit is it? Is it a cap on usage (i.e., 5GB in XYZ period) or on utilization (i.e., you're allowed 500Kbit 95% avg'ed)? [11:10] nick125, the limits are a bit nebulous... but I do know they will block users if traffic gets too high [11:10] taofd: Ah, so it's an undefined limit? That sucks.

[11:25] Hellow [11:27] best irc client? [11:28] marcelo: In my opinion, XChat or irssi, depending on your tastes. [11:28] gonna try irssi nick125 [11:28] irssi+screen is quite awesome. [11:30] Hi all. I'm experiencing blocking problems after upgrading an ubuntu box from 8.10 to 9.10. The system has 2 disks with raid via Intel Matrix Storage. Here's one of my problems: trying to boot using either root=/dev/sda1 or root=UUID=xxxxxx fails. [11:30] I get: [11:30] irssi + screen command? [11:30] JBD: no valid journal superblock found === solsTiCe is now known as Guest97608 [11:30] EXT3-fs: error loading journal [11:30] mount: mounting /dev/disk/by-uuid/xxxxx on /root failed: Invalid argument [11:30] and then i'm brought to the initramfs menu [11:30] I'm going to install Server Ubuntu! [11:31] marcelo: Run screen, then run irssi in screen. The major benefit is that if you run it on a server, you can SSH in and "reconnect" to your screen session [11:31] That is, before I install Ubuntu Desktop, on my other computer [11:31] There, trying /mount /dev/sda1 /root fails with ~ the same messages: [11:31] especially: EXT3-fs: error loading journal [11:31] Now, using an old boot entry from the grub menu (an and old kernel dating from ubuntu 8.10), mountall fails and i'm brought to an emergency shell. From there, I can mount /dev/sda1: [11:31] mount -o remount /dev/disk/by-uuid/xxxxx / [11:31] ngirard_: Anything odd in dmesg? [11:32] This works....... and yet mounting it fails with the recent kernel ! [11:32] anyone can point me to an article on how to create limited user accounts for servers, and details on why this is best practice? [11:32] i get it nick125, love command line stuff ;) [11:32] the latter more out of curiosity [11:32] Hi nick125. No, nothing weird in dmesg (no evidence of hardware problem) [11:33] I'm thinking of installing Xubuntu on my desktop [11:33] I have an AMD X2 5000+ processor on there, which claims to be 64x [11:33] is it? Because I would like to try my hand at 64 bit Xubuntu [11:33] how do I prevent network-manager from starting during boot? [11:34] Aled: yeah, all but few new CPUs support 64-bit mode. [11:34] Hello. I'm using Ubuntu Hardy, but when I apt-get install ruby I get Ruby 1.8.6 instead of 1.8.7. I tried doing apt-get update, but with no luck. What can I do? [11:34] Alright, thanks [11:34] Compile from source. :? [11:35] I'm on a "production" server hosting a lot of websites and I can't disrupt those services. [11:35] I upgraded to the lattest ALSA from source /most/ things seem to work that didn't but theres no sound from Flash in Firefox, Any ideas? [11:35] How can I list config files for a package? [11:35] naoshige: Maybe find a PPA/repo that has a newer version of Ruby for Hardy? [11:36] How do I install a video driver? (nvidia) [11:36] neil_d: hey fellow aussie [11:36] !nvidia [11:36] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [11:36] Darkedge: do u have sound from videos/mp3? [11:36] Olof_: yup [11:37] Olof_: I think it might firefox might have found my speaker, and stored it in a config file [11:37] firefox? [11:37] nick125: what exactly are these new _non_ 64-bit cpus? [11:38] no usually firefox would call upon the sound daemon.. and for most latest ubuntu installs, it calls upon pulseaudio [11:38] TTilus: Atom, mainly.

[11:45] It dosent provide with an option to continue. [11:45] hi, are there any desktop apps for facebook/twitter on ubuntu? [11:45] fahadmoideen: Try installing the package in synaptic, then. Or at the command-line [11:47] Hi! I would like to temporarily install apache, but then "roll back" apache and its associated dependencies. Is there a way to do this? [11:49] underdev: "sudo aptitude install apache2" and later "sudo aptitude purge apache2" should (de-)install all depends [11:49] underdev: Depending on what you're doing, it might be better to setup a VM in VBox or something.

[11:50] really appreciate it [11:50] nick125: this is a little vps im working with, so that's not really an option. [11:51] underdev: Ah. Then yeah, what llutz suggested would work. [11:52] Whats a wrapper? [11:52] 'ning all, In Ubuntu 9.04 I don't get any splash screen, I DO however get it in 9.10, I downgraded back to 9.04 due to driver errors, Any ideas? [11:53] nick125, Flash is working perfectly now, thanks a lot :) [11:53] Aled: Awesome. [11:54] Is there any software you guys recommend me to burn ISO files to CD, or is there any bundled with Ubuntu? [11:55] Aled: wodim [11:55] Aled: You can do that with Nautilus [11:55] Aled, rightclick on the iso, click on burn to cd :) [11:55] Aled: Brasero is installed by default, if I rememeber correctly [11:55] And what they all said :) [11:55] Alright [11:55] Aled: Just use Ubuntu's built in file browser, right click on the ISO, and click "Write to Disc" [11:55] And Brasero allows the image to be bootable and everything? [11:55] hello is anyone else experiencing the problem with mozilla address bar? it does not work immediately if you walk away and come back [11:55] Aled: yep [11:55] Alright [11:56] Hi there === Roel_ is now known as R0elr [11:56] got a question [11:56] I'm going to backup important stuff on my other computer [11:56] brb [11:56] hi, are there any desktop apps for facebook/twitter on ubuntu? [11:57] anyone know of an iso image file creator for ubuntu? [11:57] Hey ! Please, I currently have a very strange behaviour of fluxbox on karmic : it takes ages to launch (at least as much as gnome)... anyone has an idea plz ? [11:57] I've got a dualboot at the moment. Windows 7 and Vista. Am I able to install Ubuntu as triple boot? [11:57] BigMike`: mkisofs [11:57] ty [11:59] BigMike`: Brasero will also spit out an ISO. [11:59] R0elr: I don't see why not. [12:00] nick125, Dykam told me it was tricky if I did that [12:00] R0elr, seems possible [12:00] R0elr, actually you should have no problem === leon is now known as Guest58495 [12:01] Anyone who can tell me how to install xmonad [12:02] !xmonad [12:02] yes [12:02] anyone know why the boot time is extremely long on Asus EEE Box in Karmic? we're talking 2-3 minutes [12:02] Ti is so less people using it [12:02] snow__: http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2009/03/17/introduction-to-the-xmonad-tiling-window-manager/ [12:02] snow__: sudo aptitude install [12:03] snow__: you pretty much just need to install the xmonad package. [12:03] uh [12:03] How do ya make a wrapper? [12:03] But i still cann't enter after that [12:03] Daughain: What kind of wrapper? [12:03] why? [12:04] nick125: so all in all [12:04] nick125: One to start and stop an application, I think. [12:04] snow__: aptitude search xmonad [12:04] uh, [12:04] nick125: I need to add deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-ruby/ppa/ubuntu HARDY main and deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-ruby/ppa/ubuntu HARDY main to /etc/.. something? [12:04] thanks [12:04] nick125: and then do an apt-get update? [12:04] nick125: I did something similar for multiverse or whatever it's called yesterday [12:05] naoshige: yeah [12:05] Daughain: look at /etc/init.d/skeleton [12:05] naoshige: /etc/apt/sources.list [12:06] llutz: What is that? [12:06] nick125: wonderful.. and then i just reinstall ruby? [12:06] naoshige: yeah. It should install it from the PPA then. [12:06] Daughain: an example start-stop-wrapper [12:06] nick125 will brasero create an iso file? [12:07] BigMike`: You can tell it to, yes === fahadsadah is now known as test [12:07] ok maybe thats how i did it before i made my first iso file last year and now forgot how i did it lol === test is now known as Guest87259 [12:08] nick125: thanks a LOT man [12:08] lutz; Lets try it this way, do I write it in a text editor and save it?

I haven't used K3b in a while, but I think it does have an option to make an ISO. [12:09] llutz; I havbe the actual code I need, I just need toknow what to do with it to mae it useable. [12:09] Daughain: just write a shell-script ,needs no extension, place it at ~/bin or /usr/local/bin [12:09] Brasero is actually easy to use xD [12:09] yes i have used it also [12:09] apt-get reinstall ruby doesn't work? [12:09] Daughain: just make sure it is executable (chmod +x script) [12:09] hi [12:10] there both good [12:10] naoshige: Just aptitude install ruby should work === njpatel1 is now known as njp___ [12:10] llutz; I do appreciate the help, but I have been using linux for a month....Serious newb here. [12:11] thanks nick125 [12:11] oh one more thing [12:11] dont see where i can make an iso file image tho nick123 [12:11] I just did a ctrl-z to like temporarily detach things [12:11] Daughain, I've been using it for 3 hours :P [12:11] In BSD i had to type "fg" to retach it (or whatever it's called) [12:11] im trying to make a file not burn to cd [12:12] doesn't work here tho - any idea? [12:12] naoshige: so in linux [12:12] llutz; I find myself in a situation that requires a localnet install, and I am trying to figure out how to do that. [12:12] hi all, i created a webradio with mpd+icecast2, and it's available at http://ip_adresss:port and i would like to know if it's possible to make the website available like this http://paissad-radio.com for example without entering the port number [12:12] but i'm getting fg: no current job [12:12] Aled; Sweet, you tell me how to do this then.:P [12:12] damn [12:12] paissad: Tell it to run on port 80 [12:12] heh [12:12] BigMike`: Let me double check [12:12] naoshige: what does "jobs" say [12:12] Aled; BTW, I a mechanic for a living. [12:12] No seriously in comparison to me your not a noob [12:12] nothing :( [12:13] Daughain: what is a "localnet install"? [12:13] please, no one has encountered the same problem with lightweight window managers in karmic ? [12:13] ok [12:13] Aled; If I have to ask help to do something, I'm a newb. =) Not that I have an issue admitting that. =) [12:13] nevermind i just killed it [12:13] BigMike`: I created a data disc project, and at the bottom drop-down, it has the option to write to an image file [12:13] Same [12:13] nick125, without choosing port 80 if possible [12:13] ok thanks :) [12:13] llutz; https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LocalNet [12:13] BigMike`: Then you tell it burn and it should ask where to drop the image file [12:13] anyone know why the boot time is extremely long on Asus EEE Box in Karmic? [12:14] ok thanks [12:14] paissad: Are you already running an httpd? [12:14] paissad: Is the server currently running on paissad-radio.com's IP address? [12:14] nick125, yes [12:14] monokrome, nick125 the server is running on http:paissad.homelinux:18000 [12:14] paissad: Apache? You might want to see if icecast can be ran behind mod_proxy [12:14] http://paissad.homelinux:18000 [12:15] http://blogs.linux.ie/fuzzbucket/2008/04/12/proxying-icecast-through-apache2-another-mini-howto/ << [12:15] nick125, i use apache yes [12:15] Daughain: you mean the wrapper in step 3? it has to be placed into /etc/init.d/ [12:15] paissad: Doesn't work here. === przemek_ is now known as UBUNT0N4UT4 [12:16] WHat do I name it, or does that matter? [12:16] monokrome, http://paissad.homelinux.com:1800/mpd.ogg [12:16] monokrome, sorry, port 18000 instead [12:16] paissad: Ah! I thought that 18000 sounded a bit high :) [12:16] Daughain: won't matter, best something like /etc/init.d/bootpd [12:16] Still doesn't work, though. [12:16] monokrome, you think that the port number is high ? [12:16] why [12:16] Daughain: so the name makes clear what is is for [12:16] paissad: Only when you accidetally said 18000 :) [12:17] lol [12:17] llutz; Cool.....So, I can create it in gedit and save to init.d/? [12:17] Daughain: yes, but you need root-rights (gksudo gedit) to save it there [12:18] paissad: You have at least 3 options. 1) You can create a site that links to or plays http://paissad.homelinux.com:1800/mpd.ogg 2) You can use Apache + mod_proxy to forward requests to localhost:1800 3) You can change the IceCast server to run on port 80, if you aren't wanting to use Apache for anything else. [12:18] paissad: But yeah, check into mod_proxy. Icecast appears that it can be proxied, so try that. That way, it'll go through Apache. [12:18] gksudo? Usualy sudo gedit works for me....Is there a reason for the gksudo? [12:18] nick125: Can't all HTTP servers be proxied?... === biggimat is now known as Matic`Makovec [12:18] monokrome, nick125 i just don't know anything about proxy :s ... [12:19] Daughain: don't use sudo with gui-apps, it may cause problems [12:19] paissad: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_proxy.html [12:19] monokrome, nick125 i heard about squid, tor, but that 's all :D [12:19] monokrome: Some servers might break behind a proxy [12:19] !gksu | Daughain [12:19] llutz; gksudo denotes that I am calling a gui app? [12:19] Daughain: 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) [12:19] Daughain: it sets correct environment, thats the difference [12:20] * Daughain nods.. [12:20] llutz; Thanks, and lemme try this. =) [12:20] paissad: In this case, proxying means that Icecast requests will be "proxied" or ran through Apache [12:20] sup ? [12:21] llutz; I may be back with more questions shortly. =) [12:21] nick125, i definitely don't want to use port 80 or 443, i already use them for other stuffs :) [12:21] Hello. [12:21] paissad: With mod_proxy, you can tell apache to send specific URLs to another port and then display the results - so all of your other stuff wont be hurt when you use port 80. === dogmeat_ is now known as Dogmeat00 === wowoto is now known as tyro [12:22] monokrome, nick125 ok mod_proxy seems good, i take a look on it :) ... thanks, i go STFW & RTFM [12:25] paissad: http://pastebin.ca/1745388 [12:25] I think that something like that does what you want... Make sure that your server is secure prior to enabling ProxyRequests. [12:26] monokrome, ok thanks [12:26] That might not work, but might help you get started :) [12:26] How do I change my computers name in Ubuntu? [12:26] llutz; This tut is great, just a bit over my head right now. [12:26] Aled: sudo hostname [12:26] nick125: i'm still at ruby 1.8.6 man [12:26] thanks [12:26] np [12:26] Daughain: good start :) [12:26] naoshige: What version did aptitude install... install? [12:27] nick125: http://pastebin.com/mf6955fd [12:27] hi) i've installed ubuntu not so long ago, and i've got a little question with php. i installed 5.2.10 but now i want update it. i downloaded sources of new version from php.net, then i made "./configure" "make" "make install"... and i dont know what to do next :) [12:27] naoshige: Okay. try sudo aptitude install ruby1.8 [12:28] llutz; Well, I need to be able to script for xchat, and, amusingly, this is actualy teaching me some of the things I need to learn to do that. =) Now to figure out the rest.... =) [12:28] nick125: yeah that seems about right [12:28] nick125: did you like the samiyam beats btw? [12:29] naoshige: Haven't downloaded them [12:29] Is anyone else getting trouble with hulu this morning in the US? [12:29] llutz; Do I need to install anything on the client system before I begin the ubuntu install attempt? [12:29] you could just stream them live in your favorite mp3 player tho [12:29] i guess [12:29] Daughain: i haven' read that tut, sry. but i don't think so [12:30] Was working fine for MONTHS and I use it regularly and all of a sudden I get a message instead of a video: Sorry, we are unable to stream this video, please check your internet connection and try again. [12:30] net connection is just fine [12:30] llutz; Np, I know ya looked at it, so figgered I would ask. =) It doesnt look like it, so, I hope. =) [12:31] just looking to see if others are in the same boat or if I need to chase some sort of problem [12:31] can somebody tell me why in Evolution tell me : enter password for default keyring to unlock . I type the administrator's password but it cannot work why? [12:31] waiting for your answer [12:31] hulu seems to be working just fine [12:32] tiger_: Your keyring password is different than the administrator/user password. === root_ is now known as Guest69555 [12:33] imagine a naked fat guy running thru the savanah of new york city, screaming "UBUNTU, UBUNTU, UUUBUUNNTUU" !

[13:08] Aled : Use Jerky Firefox Scrolling [13:08] Aled-Xubuntu, you don't have to middle click to scroll in Firefox, just scroll the middle button. Unless you want to strict it to scroll only after middle click, I'm not sure then. :) [13:09] Xjiujiu: Universally Unique Identifier [13:09] llutz: yet another error, is 2 lines too much to paste? :D [13:09] why is dillo browser not in karmic repos ? how should i install it [13:09] Aled : about:config in FF [13:09] have a look at enable scrolling [13:09] !find dillo [13:09] Found: libarmadillo-dev, libarmadillo-doc, libarmadillo0 [13:09] and middlemouse content loading ...

[14:33] hi [14:33] mkanyicy you still there? [14:33] from terminal, how can i see what processes are taking up what amounts of my bandwith? [14:33] maco: for a server, yes [14:33] yes I went out a little bit, lord_hypnos [14:33] ok [14:33] hello all [14:33] lord_hypnos, it's strange, very strange [14:33] igge: i just see two packages available for DLNA - libdlna-dev - development files for libdlna [14:33] libdlna0 - DLNA codec library [14:33] llutz: yes but the minimal install for server edition come with to many deamons activated like ubuntu desktop? [14:33] llutz: for more experienced users who know what they want/need I would agree, for the user who is just starting out I would say go with the default install and take it from there [14:34] I am trying to get the avrdude to work! If I run it as root all is OK but when I run it as a user it doesn't :-( I think its because udev isn't creating the /dev/ thing with the correct permissions... I have tied to create a udev rule but it isn't doing anything :-( see http://paste.ubuntu.com/354513/ [14:34] I have a question: I'm running Xfce desktop environment now and when I'm at the logon screen it says I'm using Xubuntu [14:34] Am I still using Ubuntu though? [14:34] because ubuntu desktop I think is pretty heavy, I am afraid to get a heavy server [14:34] lord_hypnos, it says sdb1 it's already mounted and in use [14:34] IdleOne: who runs server, has to know what he needs point [14:34] Darkfault: did you write down the exact error message?

[14:35] Hello, in karmic, can you show a list of all available wlan-networks? You can add one if you know the details, but I mean a list where all available wlans in range are shown. [14:35] hello [14:35] I'm starting to like Ubuntu now xD [14:36] well this si splendid [14:36] good news Aled [14:36] christoph3141, There should be one in the NetworkManager system tray applet when you click it. It should say "Wired Networks" and "Wireless Networks" [14:36] askreet: think ola is maybe spanish keyboard talk [14:36] trying to create a symlink for my second cd drive but there are 2 different dev block devices for it so I don't know which one to use. i have sg1 and sr1. here's a pastebin of it http://pastebin.com/f7c0093b8 [14:36] . in a previous install of ubuntu, i had a symlink that said cdrom refers to cdrom0 but now in my new install, i don't have a /dev/cdrom device. so any help would be appreciated [14:36] how can I access a windows share? [14:36] komputes, :) maybe. [14:36] komputes, askreet: it's portuguese [14:36] drizzt__, Places > Connect To Server [14:37] What video grabber works best with Ubuntu?, I've searched hard on Google, only to find that most do not work on distros other then 8.04 [14:37] komputes: No I started crying that I will have to reinstall both ubuntu distros, and went to bed, and today I woke up and it works [14:37] askreet, and what URI should I use? [14:37] rdeshpande For some basic info, you can use "System > Administration > System Monitor" and click on the "Resources" tab. It shows speed, bandwidth usage and a total of sent / received bytes. [14:37] X-Seti, grabbing from what? [14:37] drizzt__, 1) turn on simple file sharing on your windows box 2) obatin ip address of the windows machine 3) on your ubuntu machine, open nautilus 4) press ctrl L 5) type : smb:// (replacing windows-ip-address with the actual ip address) [14:38] drizzt__, do you see a dropdown at the top of the Connect to Server dialog? It has an option called 'Windows share'. You can then enter things such as 'Server', 'Share', 'Username', etc. [14:38] askreet: Thanks! [14:38] It was something like "Can't run xxxxx file, please load kernel first" [14:38] Video grabber, those devices for inputting video VCRs into your Computer [14:38] askreet, yes, but there's only 'other address' item there [14:38] drizzt__, What version of Ubuntu do you have installed? [14:38] Expect I want to input my PS3 video onto the desktop [14:38] Darkfault: ok, next time when you see a grub error message, write it down and report it later. When you boot you may have a choice of many kernels to start from. more info here: [14:39] askreet, 9.10 [14:39] !grub | Darkfault [14:39] Darkfault: 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. [14:39] X-Seti, i would just use tvtime, and/or ffmpeg to record it [14:39] airtonix, it says 'nautilus cannot process 'smb:' addresses' or smth like this [14:39] if you use ubuntu 9.10 then: [14:39] !grub2 | Darkfault [14:39] Darkfault: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [14:39] drizzt__, you won't get far without enabling "simple file sharing" on your windows machine [14:39] please is there any C IDe for linux? [14:40] thats the software ok, I need to know what hardware devices work well with 9.10 [14:40] respecting, take your pick, hah. try anjuta. [14:40] X-Seti, more than with 8.04 :) [14:40] drizzt__, http://k.askreet.com/connect.png -- are we looking at the same thing? [14:40] How do I create document templates? [14:40] airtonix, 'simple file sharing' is only a display option, it doesn't change anything in sharing [14:41] My DVDEpress DX2 card does not longer work, you cant compile the karnel anymore with the drives [14:41] drizzt__, this means you dont have samba installed on your ubuntu machine yet. 1) right the desktop 2) create new folder 3) right click that new folder 4) select properties 5) sharing tab 6) ubuntu should start the process to install samba for you [14:41] please is there any C IDe for linux? [14:41] drizzt__, its not just a display option. [14:41] nevermind, got it. sudo ln -sf /dev/scd1 /dev/cdrom. did the trick after reading a post from google search. i just wasn't sure which dev to create the symlink to. either scd1 or sg1, or sr1. looking at all the permissions and what not, the scd1 had the most open permissions which just ends up pointing to sr1 anyway so I am guessing thats what I needed. we'll see right now though, about to try to write to dvd now [14:41] please is there any C IDe for linux? [14:41] askreet, mostly yes, but there's no 'Windows share' option in list [14:41] respecting: i think most people just use a normal text editor and gcc. if you want something fancier, eclipse has plugins for C [14:41] respecting: not a programmer but try looking into eclipse, anjuta, codeblocks, codelite [14:41] X-Seti, that doesn't really make sense, not that i don't believe you :p [14:42] airtonix, drizzt__, I have a fairly new installation of 9.10 and I did not have to install Samba to get Connect to Server to display this option: http://k.askreet.com/connect.png ... [14:42] drizzt__, not really no. [14:42] x-seti: have you updated to the most recent kernel in the repo? [14:42] askreet, you need samba for nautilus to understand smb:// [14:42] I installed bleach bit, but the program stops [14:42] airtonix, why would I install samba if I want only to connect, not share anything in Ubuntu? [14:42] drizzt__, samba, not smbd [14:42] DVDexpress worked on 8.04, but given the kernal updates, the drives for this card will not work anymore. [14:42] nope, brasero isn't seeing my drive? i have created the symlink to the dvd writer added an entry in fstab but still doesn't pop up. where is the config file for brasero? [14:42] drizzt__, Samba is client and server. smbd is the server Samba. [14:42] drizzt__, because samba includes the client and server.... all windows machines are servers too [14:43] drizzt__: smbclient and smbfs should be sufficient [14:43] drizzt__, airtonix, Stange that I don't recall having to install smbclient, but it's there. Maybe ubuntu netbook remix includes this by default? [14:43] askreet, samba package says that it contains server [14:43] I have smbclient and smbfs installed [14:44] askreet, don't assume everyone else is using netbook remix [14:44] airtonix, I don't assume that. [14:44] ver, im using 9.10, I can not get the linux drivers to work, and I am not alone with this, reading other support boards, they suggest getting a video grabber that is supported by the distro [14:44] askreet, ... [14:44] airtonix, My assumption was that netbook remix included only the additional gnome components for the UI. [14:44] from samba package-description: "This package is not required for connecting to existing SMB/CIFS servers (see smbclient) or for mounting remote filesystems (see smbfs)" [14:44] airtonix, And thus, that I would not have samba installed if someone else did not as well. [14:44] X-Seti, that's pretty lame :/ [14:44] yep it is [14:45] askreet: llutz: without having a clean install or liveCD how can I check that smbclient is on ubuntu by default? [14:45] llutz, The package is 'smbclient'. [14:45] leaves me with a device I cant use anymore [14:45] askreet, and yet you give out information based on the assumption that they have netbook remix ? [14:45] askreet: _I_ know [14:45] X-Seti, well its rubbish that you can't use your current device... [14:45] screw it, I have smbclient installed but gnome doesnt give 2c for it [14:45] askreet: but all those "you have to isntall samba" don't [14:45] How do I create document templates for when I create a new file in Ubuntu? [14:45] X-Seti, the v4l-dvb project doesn't support it? [14:45] komputes: apt-cache policy smbclient [14:45] Such as .php and etc [14:45] drizzt__, pretty sure if you follow the steps i outlined initially you would be hacing gnome follow smb:// protcol [14:46] X-Seti, because the v4l-dvb drivers can be installed 'afterwards' [14:46] airtonix, There's a disconnect here, I am not giving out information based on the assumption that he has or does not have netbook remix. My assumption that my installation of netbook remix would not differ from your installation of ubuntu desktop beyond that of the UI packages and configuration. [14:46] device can be seen on the lusb list, and they do not sadly [14:46] askreet, i dont have smb* (anything) installed by default [14:46] X-Seti, but no device in /dev/video*? [14:46] llutz: that tells me its in main, but not that it's a default package in the distro :( [14:46] you can still download the drives for the devices, but they will not compile with the latest kernals [14:46] no [14:47] airtonix, I don't need samba server [14:47] ne1 tell me how to configure brasero to see my devices? [14:47] Is there any way I can get past SecuROM DVD protection using Linux? Like how Windows can use YASU with Daemon tools [14:47] erm [14:47] drizzt__, So smbclient didn't make a difference? [14:47] komputes: ah misread you, sorry i don't know if it is installed by default or not [14:47] X-Seti, well, i suppose you could a) wait for them to update it, b) update it yourself, or c) get a new grabber card :) [14:47] askreet, smbclient is installed [14:48] is there an emulator I can run Windows in, on Linux? [14:48] WINE dosen't count, I need something which will properly emulate everything [14:48] Aled, various, qemu, virtualbox, vmware, etc. [14:48] Aled: virtualbox [14:48] Aled, not emulator. virtualisation. [14:48] Aled, virtualbox [14:48] Aled, Many. I recommend Virtualbox [14:48] Aled: virtualization, virtualbox, vmware [14:48] ver, http://www.adstech.com/products/USBAV-709-EF/intro/USBAV-709_intro.asp?pid=USBAV-709-EF [14:48] Wow. [14:48] Aled, also wine is not an emulator [14:48] I know [14:48] I thought it might've came up though [14:48] I don't like it, tbh [14:48] hey guys from live cd i cant do sudo mkdir gives me cannot create directory or no such file or dir [14:48] It emulates a windows API by converting system calls :-) [14:48] So virtualbox, I suppose [14:48] But whatever, semantics. [14:49] Virtualbox is awesome. [14:49] llutz: got it - it is a default package on desktop [14:49] askreet, no it does not emulate.... [14:49] llutz: apt-cache show ubuntu-desktop | grep smb [14:49] You can install the open source edition from Synaptic (virtualbox-ose) [14:49] komputes: well.. maybe i shouldn't ask about DLNA... i should aske about mediaservers [14:49] askreet, translation != emulation [14:49] ver, ive waited for long for an update, there may not be any drive updated by who make it, so i'll have to buy something new, but what? [14:49] Or get the binary distribution from virtualbox's website for USB support and other nifty features. [14:49] does it have a Wizard for allocating RAM, setting Hard Disk space etc? [14:49] Is there an easy way to convert an existing Ubuntu 9.10 Server installation from LVM => MD+LVM? [14:49] igge: mediaservers with which protocol(s)? [14:49] Aled: yes. [14:49] can anyone reproduce that latest flash and firefox on 64bit doesn't work in US on hulu? [14:50] That is, is there an easy way to convert a single-disk installation to a RAID1 installation [14:50] With relative ease [14:50] komputes: with the DLNA protocol.. :) [14:50] my 32 bit system works, my 64 bit doesn't (flash is correctly installed) stopped working at last update [14:50] even works under wine on my 64 bit box [14:50] ericrost: Mine worked out of the box. [14:50] hi [14:50] igge: DAAP is a music sharing protocol, never heard of DLNA till you brought it up, let me look a little further [14:50] zig_: update happened yesterday on my box [14:50] komputes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Living_Network_Alliance [14:50] ericrost: Can you provide more details regarding the issue? [14:50] igge: is it very new? [14:50] komputes, DNLA is used commonly by PS3. [14:50] zig_: it has worked for ages [14:50] ericrost: Ah [14:50] ericrost: I'll hafta check, let me boot into it brb [14:51] zig_: I get the message as though I'm using a proxy [14:51] a dictionary for ubuntu? [14:51] zig_: "Unable to stream video..." [14:51] igge: take a look at mediatomb [14:51] i'm new to mediaserving... i just thought that DLNA was _the_ standard, maybe it isn't [14:51] igge: if what you are trying to do is serve files to your ps3 [14:51] IdleOne: alright.. will do that [14:51] igge, It's _a_ standard. =) [14:51] Does anyone here know about virtualization? [14:52] peabody, Probably, just ask your question. [14:52] what is a good multi lang dictionary for ubuntu? [14:52] IdleOne: no i'm tring to stream them to my tv, which is a philips 37PFL8404H [14:52] igge: it's a standard, not a protocol I think [14:52] igge, Your TV has a streaming client? [14:53] Can I run linux and windows at the same time? [14:53] igge: ohh, well then I am not sure what you need/want :/ [14:53] Could Virtualbox be used to emulate Server Ubuntu? [14:53] igge: which means a group of people certify machines that work on a series of protocols...looking further into it [14:53] Aled, Yes [14:53] that's what virtualization is for, right? [14:53] lovely [14:53] peabody, yes, you can run many operating systems inside a virtualization application at once. [14:53] askreet: my tv has an ethernet port, and menu that says "browse pc".. pretty much all i know [14:53] Because it didn't work in Windows XP on VirtualPC, said it does not support i636 [14:53] Hello [14:53] igge: gmediaserver [14:53] I want to make friends [14:54] igge: http://www.gnu.org/software/gmediaserver/ [14:54] Aled, So use the 32-bit version. I don't think VBox has 64-bit support, period. [14:54] komputes: gmediaserver doesn't do transcoding [14:54] but one has to be the "host" os right? [14:54] Darkfault: you'll never be alone again, come on. [14:54] peabody, Right, you need a running/working OS to run VirtualBox or VMWare inside of. [14:54] yeah for desktop virtualization one must have a "host" [14:54] peabody, Windows Linux and Mac are all fine choices for that. [14:54] Ubuntu irc in italian?please [14:54] #ubuntu-it [14:54] mamooli, there's no good free dictionaries [14:55] so if the linux drivers for some of my hardware doesn't work, it won't work in the virtualized instance either, right? [14:55] Thank u [14:55] prego [14:55] peabody, The virtualization software makes up virtual hardware, it doesn't use your actual hardware. [14:55] komputes, I don't want to be alone. :* [14:55] igge: http://fuppes.ulrich-voelkel.de/ === ccglen is now known as chad_g [14:55] peabody, The virutal platform usually includes a 'tools' package you install in the 'guest' that will allow it to work with all the virtual hardware. [14:55] yeah, so if my hdmi audio doesn't work in linux, it won't work in virtualized windows either [14:56] if you virtualize windows on linux, no. [14:56] The host has to be able to talk to the device. [14:56] ericrost: Okay, I just booted into my Ubuntu 9.10 Desktop installation, and there was no update for flash. [14:56] komputes: yep.. i've found fuppes and mediatomb so far.. haven't tried them though [14:56] I updated the system 2 days ago, and again just now. No update. [14:56] not flash [14:56] And my hulu still works. [14:56] Darkfault: if you want local friends who use ubuntu type in "/join #ubuntu-pl" [14:56] All current updates installed =) [14:56] firefox was updated [14:56] hrm... [14:56] olol I have the x64 version of Server Ubuntu :S [14:56] Ah. Mine wasn't [14:56] hrm indeed [14:56] Aled: I do also. [14:56] I was a bit behind on updates on this box [14:56] I am a past Debian user. [14:57] IdleOne: is mediatomb specific for ps3? what do you think about fuppes vs mediatomb? [14:57] I say past because, I have recently tried out Ubuntu 9.10 Desktop and Server. I am enormously impressed with the polish and ease-of-use [14:57] I'm on the prerelease 64 bit flash, are you using the repo version (that nsplugnwrapper?) [14:57] So much so that I am seriously considering converting all my installations @ work to Ubuntu from Debian. [14:57] how come when I do a crontab -e I get to Nano instead of vim which I have set (EDITOR=vim) [14:57] hi [14:57] How does one unshare a shared folder... I forgot where the folder is located! [14:57] igge: I haven't tried fuppes but no mediatomb is not specific to ps3 [14:58] hi [14:58] thanks [14:58] "/join #ubuntu-pl [14:58] "/join #ubuntu-pl" [14:58] zig_: what version of flash are you using? [14:58] Darkfault: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:58] no quotes. [14:58] ericrost: Let me check my synaptic [14:58] Thank You friends! [14:59] zig_: if its repos its the 32 bit plugin and nspluginwrapper [14:59] I will try installing that [14:59] How does one unshare a shared folder... I forgot where the folder is located === micha526 is now known as xzenome [14:59] Darkfault: have fun! [14:59] ericrost: Likely. That's what I used to have to do with Debian, except that this was all done automatically so I have to inspect to see what exactly was installed. I see by synaptic flashplugin-installer is installed... but that's not particularly revealing [14:59] nastas: im back [15:00] Actually I won't bother [15:00] zig_: I'll try installing from synaptic, worried about performance, but I'd rather have functionality [15:01] ericrost: About 90% of any performance boost I've ever achieved via customizing my system has been via a handrolled kernel. [15:01] Not that it particularly matters, just throwing it in there. [15:01] What is the command to list shared folders? [15:01] hey does anyone know why i cant do a sudo mkdir with live cd [15:01] IdleOne: smb, nfs or other? [15:02] eddym: pastebin [15:02] zig_: a beginner will spend weeks to get a personal-kernel which maybe save him microseconds :) [15:02] eddym, You're on a read-only filesystem? Just a guess. [15:02] komputes: ummm samba I guess. it is a folder on my ubuntu machine [15:02] jrib, cant pastebin now cuz im in normal mode [15:02] eddym: you are root there, but you need to mount the drive you want to alter so you can cd into it [15:02] eddym: "normal mode"?

Not sure I'd want to do that. Might make me nervous =) [15:09] zig_: he's very nice and friendly [15:09] I think I'll just do what I can without bothering him. See, we do installations of POS systems. [15:09] I see in smb://localhost entries I dont want anymore, but I dont know where the folders are... how do I remove the share??? [15:09] brig, can you copy stuff into the share over the network? if you can, copy something uniquely named, then at the machine the share is on, do a sudo find / | grep .... It's not pretty, but it should tell you where it is. [15:10] Historically we've used various server software as well as desktop environments (for the POS clients of the network, of course) [15:10] But I think I may have to start doing installs using Ubuntu. Perhaps I'll relate to my clients the various contracts they can setup with Ubuntu. [15:10] zig_, this is a user support channel, your really preaching to the wrong audience... [15:10] huh, getting Error trying to open /dev/scd0 exclusively (Device or resource busy)... retrying in 1 second. any help please [15:10] This way I could save myself time on support by handing it off to you guys =) [15:10] zig_: let's talk privately [15:10] Polydwarf: Ick... so you are saying it cant be done, as it may be in a folder I dont have read in... right? [15:10] Hi guyz, I use Ubuntu 9.10 64bit, and I'm not able to load any DVD movie [15:11] polydwarf: thanks though I will do that [15:11] marcol29: what media player do you use? [15:11] vlc [15:11] potentially, sure... also doing the sudo avoids a bunch of read errors in /proc that are distracting :) [15:11] i change to xfce successfully [15:11] marco123, You will need: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Karmic#DVD_Playback_Capability [15:11] it is beautiful [15:12] tks [15:12] I gonna read tha [15:12] a [15:12] that [15:12] cpu load reduced by 30% compare to gnome [15:12] OK I found the offending folders that are shared, how do I unshare them... right click does not show them as shared [15:12] ouyes, 30% load with gnome? Wow. [15:12] brig, that, I can't help you with... I do my samba maintenance through webmin. :) [15:12] ouyes, My load avg is 0.01 with GNOME and pekWM [15:13] Polydwarf: webmin??? [15:13] brig, you could go edit the samba.conf directly I guess. [15:13] Polydwarf, I do my samba maintenance through vi, and I have no idea how Ubuntu's works. [15:13] Polydwarf: its not in there either... that was the first place I lookes [15:13] brig, web based admin tool; it's not in apt, last I looked. I think the ubuntu maintainers frown on it or something. [15:14] nastas: im here.. :) [15:14] for anyone who is interested.. mediatomb worked, at least i managed to play a movie on the tv served from the computer, haven't explored other features yet.. [15:14] !webmin | Polydwarf [15:14] Polydwarf: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [15:14] i belong to the cdrom group but I can't get access to it for some reason. i get this meesage when running cdrdao: Error trying to open /dev/scd0 exclusively (Device or resource busy)... retrying in 1 second. [15:14] igge What kind of TV do you have again? I want one. [15:14] !ebox [15:14] ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox [15:15] ubottu, I've never had a problem with the stuff I use it for (cron jobs, mysql, samba, firewall); that being said, I don't get too crazy with anything. [15:15] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [15:15] askreet: hang on need to check again.. :) [15:15] 'k, I'll look at it [15:15] so there is a shred folder... its not in the right click its not in /etc/samba/smb.conf where should I look next? [15:15] if one looks for a samba-admin web-tool, theres "swat" [15:16] askreet: philips 37PFL8404H [15:16] igge, Thanks. [15:17] ok I installed swat... whats the url? [15:17] askreet: so now i can play movies on my tv from my computer.. is that enough to get a date with a nice lady? [15:17] igge, I would think so. [15:17] igge, Women have different priorities though :( [15:18] so there is a shred folder... its not in the right click its not in /etc/samba/smb.conf where should I look next?

[15:20] aren't ebuilds for gentoo based distros? [15:20] finita, ebuild files are Gentoo package building files, not for Ubuntu. You probably want to install libdrm from Synaptic [15:21] thx [15:21] what can i do if i dont want to write my password all the time .. when i run the update manger [15:21] Thks it works [15:22] some help would be appreciated with post #10 here please: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=767247&highlight=%28Device+resource+Error+open+%2Fdev%2Fscd0+exclusively+busy%29... [15:22] so there is a shred folder... its not in the right click its not in /etc/samba/smb.conf where should I look next? [15:22] mrF, you can not run the update manager if you dont want to... [15:23] protojay : i want to run it .. but i dont want to write the password everytime [15:23] mrF, thats impossible [15:23] protojay, No it's not, it's just a bad idea. [15:24] protojay: i know its a bad idea but i still want to change it [15:24] its just for a virtual machine [15:24] hi! [15:25] hmm# [15:25] got some trouble with apt-get and the virtualbox repository for karmic, tells me the Packages.bz2 hash wouldn't match. then i downloaded the file manually and checked the md5sum. did match the md5sum given in the Release file [15:26] mrF, You need to edit /etc/sudoers to look like this: http://paste2.org/p/603013 [15:26] askreet: oh ok thx ! [15:26] askreet, that will cause sudo to never ask for a password [15:26] hmm.. interetsing... apt is saying I don't have apache installed, when I have fully working mythfrontend/torrentflux sites. how odd. [15:27] protojay, Yep. [15:27] so there is a shred folder... its not in the right click its not in /etc/samba/smb.conf where should I look next? I see a bunch of stuff on the web about one or the other, but noting on a 3rd option!!! HELP! [15:27] That UI popup that asks for a password before launching Synaptic is gksudo. [15:28] why does ebox require postgres? does it use it for backend storage of something? [15:29] ne1 know about PolicyKit.conf? i am installing k3b and it wants to know if to use mainters version or keep one on system. [15:29] ne1 help please [15:30] is there a way to change the terminal so only a custom characters appear instead of user@computer:dir$ ? [15:31] How would I go about tracking down a program's PID in ubuntu? [15:31] OK... out of desperation I reshared the folder with the right click, and unshared, and it worked!!! [15:31] t0rc: change PS1 [15:31] t0rc, Yes, you want to set your PS1 variable. [15:31] t0rc, Try playing with PS1="Stuff" in a terminal. When you get it the way you like, you'll want to add it to the end of ~/.bashrc [15:31] t0rc: it is set in either .bashrc or .bash_profile. There is a loyt of info through Google on this [15:32] thanks llutz askreet jcc1 [15:32] hello, I'm trying to get my tablet to run under ubuntu 9.10 [15:32] t0rc, Also check 'man bash' to see what special characters you can use. For example \w is your currect directory, etc. [15:33] it reports under windows as aiptek [15:33] yorick, What isn't working? The touchscreen? [15:33] but there are 20.000 guides for these things and I don't know which to follow [15:33] askreet: it gets input, but it freezes when I click, and the input is only relative [15:34] so I think this is one of those aiptek tablets with wacom chipset [15:34] hw to download only unread mail on evolution? (i have 4000 messages in my email and it will take years..) [15:34] it reports as WALTOP International Corp. Slim Tablet [15:34] excellent, thanks askreet [15:35] How would I run a program in ubuntu allowing it maximum system usage? [15:35] lingam1, "maximum"? [15:36] it appears like the wacom driver is not recognizing it [15:36] lingam : probably check out running it wiht the nice command and boost its priority that way [15:36] Polydwarf, I wasn't sure if that's what he meant or not. :P [15:36] Thanks for the hint Poly! [15:36] hey, I had to feel like I know *something* :) [15:36] Polydwarf, That's not the first answer I've seen you give ;) [15:37] Hello [15:37] t0rc: Here is a sample file and also an entire document on Bash, http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/sample-bashrc.html [15:37] medelin7, Hello. [15:37] lol, I know; I used to be a gentoo nerd and that does give you a certain basic education :) [15:37] Is it Blu-Ray ROM`s supposed to be detected by Ubuntu (linux)? I know there are software restrictions for Blu-Ray on Linux. Those restrictions are for the ``hardware`` too? [15:37] Polydwarf, Yeah I started on Gentoo -- good way to learn the system internals and such. [15:37] this is pretty OT, but does anyone know where i can find a free uk proxy server? i am trying to use bbc iplayer out of the country.... [15:37] how does ubuntu know what drivers to use for display, soundcard, etc.? [15:37] What are you talking about [15:37] http://tldp.org/LDP has a lot of good docs in general === ahmed is now known as Guest92760 [15:38] bobbytek, X loads drivers based on vendor hardware ID #s, AFAIK. [15:38] askreet: where does it get them from? [15:38] askreet : ayup.. as long as you can follow instructions to the letter, it's good for learning. [15:38] prepackaged? [15:38] so how do I get my tablet to work as a proper tablet [15:39] bobbytek, It gets the hardware IDs from your hardware, and the drivers from the prepackages drivers included with Ubuntu. [15:39] yorick: doesn't google + linux give you any good install sites? [15:39] addajones, http://www.xroxy.com/proxy-country-GB.htm [15:39] Polydwarf, If you start on Ubuntu, you'll never know how to build a kernel (or rebuild a kernel... or build a kernel a 3rd time... lol) [15:39] so do manufacturers supply linux drivers? [15:40] could somebody help me with video on skype? I have ubuntu 9.10 and webcam on skype is goin green. I tryed to google it but with no help at all. [15:40] protojay: thanks, i'll give it a gao [15:40] bobbytek, All the drivers included with Ubuntu are 'free' and open source. Manufacturers sometimes provide better drivers, but they don't come with Ubuntu. [15:40] jcc1: yes, but they all say something else [15:40] bobbytek, some do some don'T some drivers were retro engineered [15:40] i see [15:40] http://pastebin.com/d6b80610 [15:40] askreet, or build the kernel for the 57th time while you're trying to find out just which driver you need for ... not that I did that or anything.. ;) [15:40] so if I have an nvidia board, chances are these are open source? [15:40] bobbytek, A good example is nVidia, you can download linux drivers from them, but they won't come with Ubuntu. [15:41] ah [15:41] where could I do that? [15:41] hey... I have installed a software (rubymine) on ubuntu . how can I run it ? anybody can help? [15:41] Polydwarf, I hear ya, I rebuilt Gentoo a few dozen times. Learned a lot but I prefer the simplicity of Ubuntu. It's good to "get" how it works though. [15:41] jcc1, thanks [15:41] bobytek: System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers [15:41] bobbytek, For nVidia? Ubuntu has a "Hardware Drivers tool that's really nice. Norse_Nemo just beat me to it. [15:41] nice, thanks! [15:41] bobbytek, chances are your mobo will work with the ubuntu drivers, the nvidia driver thing is mostly for video cards, and you can get them fro the restricted driver manager in the system > admin menu [15:42] What are you tallking about? [15:42] medelin7: this is ubuntu technical support channel, not chat [15:42] medelin7, who are you taling to ? [15:42] Hi [15:42] dev305, Hi. [15:42] Hey it's a Linux Admin. :) [15:42] can u help me [15:42] * askreet is also a linux admin. [15:43] askreet, yup... I decided I didn't like waiting 12 hours to install a new box while everything built and was brought up to snuff. Plus, there were more than a few times I got into unrecoverable situations with doing upgrades (packages failng to build, ebuild dependencies out of whack, etc). My main use for ubuntu now is mythtv, and ubuntu has that nailed down cold. I don't want to spend a lot of time fiddling, tbh. [15:43] dev305: mabey [15:43] I have a matrox pararelia video card.. wondering if it supports it [15:43] Polydwarf, fiddling was fun when I was 16 and had the hours to burn, I guess... haha. [15:43] yorick: Have you seen bmcage's post here? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=477287 [15:43] dev305, just state your problem in one line, and if someone can help they will try [15:43] it has dual dvi. does ubuntu support multiple monitors? [15:43] i installed ubuntu 9.10 in ubuntu 9.04 [15:43] bobbytek, Oh yeah it does.. :D [15:43] how can remove ubuntu 9.10 [15:43] bobbytek: yes linux supports multiple monitors [15:44] nice :) [15:44] bobbytek, The nvidia drivers are *great*, it comes with a nvidia-settings app that lets you do all that stuff easily. [15:44] Could someone tell me if there is skype for mac? [15:44] dev305, you mean you upgraded the distribution ? you can'T downgrade you need to make a clean install [15:44] Hello. Do I need to install something if I want to use Internet via my mobile cell phone using bluetooth dialup networking? [15:44] jcc1: ah thank you :) [15:44] medelin7, Yes there is. But this is for Ubuntu support. [15:44] dev305: you need to be more specific, are you trying to roll back or just get rid of it [15:44] yorick: I used this as a search term in Google, tons of hits "WALTOP International Corp. Slim Tablet + linux + install problems" [15:44] dev305, why do you want to go back to 9.04 ? maybe we can help you fix that problem [15:45] actually its not support form my monitor [15:45] no problem, google is good if you put together a good search term [15:45] 9.10 graphic mode is not supported [15:45] dev305, could it just be that you need the correct driver for your video card ? [15:45] dev305, It's probably just not configured correctly. 9.10 has only added more support. [15:45] dev305: what monitor are you using? [15:46] hello [15:46] Erm. Which package do I want to pull down if I want to waste a bit of time with all the odd compiz effects? [15:46] gocsp, Hi.

I just realised that I need only the first eight characters to login to a vnc4server session? Bug or feature? [16:10] how might I get to the gnome GUI for muting/unmuting audio [16:10] Galban, sorry I can'T find it , I don'T get it , it was on digg last week and now nothing , I suggest you google there seem to be a lot of links on the subject [16:10] alsamixer is all tuned but I got nothing [16:10] anyone here uses tomato? I'm wondering how to direct a port to an IP [16:10] zebrafusion: gnome-volume-control maybe? [16:11] blakkheim: dude I totally tried to autocomplete that o.o [16:11] Armok: Why do you want to install both windows and ubuntu? Why not just copying the old install over? [16:11] zebrafusion, install gnome-alsamixer or use "alsamixer" in a terminal [16:11] mezquitale: what do I press to unmute [16:11] sudo apt-get install gnome-media [16:11] gnome-volume-control: command not found [16:11] sagredo@ashtop:~$ sudo apt-get install gnome- [16:11] [sudo] password for sagredo: [16:11] Reading package lists...

[16:11] Building dependency tree [16:12] thx [16:12] I want to install wondows and ubuntu because I'm geting a new harddrive, i need to run windows aplications, and having a computer withoute a linux on it is heresy [16:12] I dunno [16:12] *windows [16:12] but my sound is not playing [16:12] so something is muted [16:12] and I bet it's that pesky GUI box [16:12] zebrafusion: my bad then, i don't use gnome so i wasn't sure [16:13] blakkheim: no worries [16:13] blakkheim: that's what I recollect it being... [16:13] How can I get past SecuROM protection in Ubuntu [16:13] Hi what should I do in fstab to get NTFS partitions automounted [16:13] Armok, give me a minute, i can find a site that has open source alternatives to windows programs [16:13] thrillERboy: use an existing entry as an example, change the disk device to the right device and change the file system option to ntfs-3g [16:14] zebrafusion: it comes with the gnome-media package on arch, but i guess ubuntu took it out or something maybe [16:14] got it, Armok: http://www.osalt.com/ [16:14] How can I get the UUID? [16:14] thrillERboy: blkid [16:14] anyways, second question: shuld I have Kubuntu, edibuntu, or xubuntu? does it even matter all that much? I'll be using it for surfing the net, multimedia stuff, and pherhaps some sciency or programing stuff [16:15] Armok: try them - see what you like [16:15] Armok, try GNOME and KDE first [16:15] Armok: i would personally go with the ubuntu minimal iso and only install what i need [16:15] GNOME is Ubuntu, KDE is Kubuntu armok [16:15] hi, how can i downgrade to a stable release of kde? i wanted to try a beta so i've added the kubuntu ppa in my sources.list, but now that i've removed it, i still have kde 4.4 beta [16:16] subito: you need to remove kde, remove the ppa from your sources.list and then install kde [16:16] ikonia: so i reinstall kubuntu-desktop? [16:16] subito: that would work [16:16] install kde/karmic ? [16:16] and some programs dont have open source alternatives, like games and propetary multimedia stuff [16:16] ikonia: would i lose my preferences? === ubuntu is now known as MariosFFX [16:16] subito: not the ones saved in your home directory [16:16] Armok: then don't use those :P [16:17] hello [16:17] I'd like some help since i'm new to ubuntu [16:17] alas, I have to. Spesificaly: you need wondows to make assembly programs for windows machines, and for runing Autodesk Maya [16:17] ikonia: how can i know where are my preferences saved? [16:18] *windows [16:18] subito: if it's a personal preference setting it will be in your home directory [16:18] What package do I lack, so every time I return Ubuntu from humbernation the system asks me to unlock the default keyring for nm-applet (network manager) - WHY does it not remember the permission? What package do I need so I can check "Remember authorization" in the popup that comes up?? [16:18] once again, how can I mount a Windows share in Gnome? [16:18] ikonia: ok thanks [16:18] drizzt__, get the ntfs drivers [16:18] can someone help me or give me some links which explain more stuff about the partitions? I'm curious to know what /, /home and the other mount options actually do before fully instaling me [16:19] fully installing ubuntu * [16:19] ManDay, share, you idiot, not a partition [16:19] drizzt__: do not call people names [16:19] !coc > drizzt__ [16:19] drizzt__, please see my private message [16:19] drizzt__, thats samba [16:19] lol [16:19] or what? [16:19] MariosFFX, if youre new just create a swap partition and install everything in "/" unless youre using a laptop [16:19] thanks for calling me an idiot btw [16:19] how does one install ruby source ? is that like a .deb file or does it require one to compile stuff? [16:20] I've been using Ubuntu since April 2005 and Linux since the days when Mandrake and Red Hat reigned in this world. I'm just tired. Blu-Ray looks very bad in the near future of Linux and I do not spend $ 200 for having to uninstall it because Linux is not able to digest it. Registered Linux user # 358,506 --- Registered Ubuntu user # 6814 IS OUT! At least for a while. [16:20] ManDay: please drop it, he's been told not to do it again [16:20] anyways: what are the diference betwen Kubuntu, edibuntu, or xubuntu exactly anywyas? I couldnt find the link due to blind idiocy [16:20] si puo istallare windows xp? lassciare pure linux [16:20] Galban: cool story bro [16:20] bye [16:20] samba is for sharing folders yourself, I need to connect existing one [16:20] Galban: this is a support channel only [16:20] Armok, The default user experience. KDE, Education Software, XFCE, respectively. [16:20] vlt: it appears that many VNC implementations have an 8 character limit on passwords, which is why you only need the first 8 to log in (tested it with gnome remote desktop and it is the same) [16:20] !it [16:20] 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) [16:20] Galban: please don't paste that sort of thing [16:20] i have 3 drivers, the private is a A-Data 80GB Intel SSD, the other is 1TB and the third one is a 250GB drive [16:21] I want to have all my music, videos etc by default stored to the 1TB [16:21] drizzt__, You're using 9.10 right? Still not getting this to work?? :( [16:21] yeap :( [16:21] MariosFFX: you can store data where ever you like [16:21] drizzt__, Did you re-log after installing smbclient? [16:21] MariosFFX, / is called the root directory, everything in ubuntu stays under it, /home is where the users that can log in to the computer are placed. /home can be part of same filesystem as / or it can be a separate partition that is mounted accordingly. [16:21] can I change the default location for the folders? [16:22] MariosFFX, the question is, which drive will have ubuntu? You can configure ubuntu to use all drives === mike is now known as Guest4447 [16:22] MariosFFX: some can be changed others can't, google "FHS" and that will explain the file system standards to you [16:22] the intel one of course since will be fast [16:22] ikonia hello [16:22] holy: hello [16:22] MariosFFX: i've got an ssd and it's great with linux [16:22] drizzt__, Places > Network -- or in Nautilus, File > Connect to Server [16:23] ciao [16:23] also about /home will this contain every file that every user has? [16:23] unop, We've gone there already -- and he just tried relogging. He doesn't see 'Windows Share' in that list. [16:23] blakkheim, how fast is the SSD compared to the HDD on average ? [16:23] MariosFFX: the 1TB is a seperate drive? not what your system is installed on? that shouldn't be an issue.. whatever you use to play music can be told to look on that drive for the music [16:23] yes it's a separate drive [16:23] Is there something funny going on with the oss ati drivers in 9.10? I think they performed a bit better on some older releases [16:23] Why 'sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart/ doesn't create the 'dev/rfcomm0' device after I have edited '/etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf' ?? [16:23] MariosFFX, basically you wont listen to advice and ask random questions, just go here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=282018 [16:23] holy: udev should create that for you, [16:24] mkanyicy: way faster. i use full disk encryption so there is a bit of an overhead, but the speed is still the biggest improvement in any single component upgrade i've ever seen [16:24] someone can help-me i can have sound on my pc http://pastebin.ca/1745630 [16:24] ikonia thanks [16:24] ikonia have to reboot from Windows into Linux ... [16:24] They don't like me on ubuntu-pl [16:24] :/ [16:24] duartman, Everything looks good. What's the problem? [16:25] drizzt__, Any luck? [16:25] Darkfault: we don't need to discuss that here [16:25] in Windows 7 I could configure every user folder to have a different location, for example you can change C:\Users\Marios\Pictures to D:\Marios\Pictures can the same be done here? [16:25] askreet_away, no, it's still no gnome integration [16:25] duartman, do you have another sound card in your machine? [16:25] MariosFFX: you can store data where ever you want [16:25] some basic opengl operations take 5-10 times longer than with the Vista ATI drivers, I don't think it was that bad with 7.04 [16:26] MariosFFX, It sounds like you're trying to have the same data in two locations. You should try a symbolic link. [16:26] !symlink [16:26] yes you can store it but the question is can I change every shortcuts location? [16:26] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).

[16:26] blakkheim, wow, [16:27] blakkheim, I know. I just don't think it was that bad before. Any idea where I should try to tweak things? [16:27] mezquitale, Oh. [16:27] How did I miss that? === n is now known as Guest75495 [16:27] tomppa: if you're using the proprietary driver there's not much you can "tweak" :/ [16:27] ikonia, he means 'standard' folder with pictures in $HOME [16:27] when you browse through the files the left side of the window has folders or shortcuts for quick acess [16:27] ikonia, he's going to go on randomly, MariosFFX is just trolling, he needs to realize that you need to learn step by step before you can run, he doesnt even have ubuntu installed on his machine [16:27] drizzt__, I wish I hadn't installed netbook edition so I could be comparing 1:1 with you. You started from i386 desktop edition media? [16:27] i'm a troll already,,? [16:27] What package do I lack, so every time I return Ubuntu from humbernation the system asks me to unlock the default keyring for nm-applet (network manager) - WHY does it not remember the permission? What package do I need so I can check "Remember authorization" in the popup that comes up?? [16:28] MariosFFX: you can customise almost anything, some things are more complex than others [16:28] Hi, I have tried installing adobe flash player in debian from the adobe site and on installing it "dpkg -i install_flash_player_10.deb" [16:28] MariosFFX: you're still suffering from a windows view.. lets say you have a "music" folder/directory on your 1TB drive.. you can make a "soft link" to that in you /home folder and delete the folder/directory that has the same name in /home.. done.. looks transparent [16:28] My dpkg got screwed and no other package is getting installed [16:28] blakkheim, I'm using the oss driver, it was ~on par with XP drivers with ati x550/Ubuntu 7.04. At least for simpler things [16:28] aha [16:28] sravan: this is an ubuntu channel, try #debian for debian support [16:28] askreet_away, yes [16:28] sravan: this is ubuntu support - not debian [16:28] sravan: try #debian [16:28] Hi, I have tried installing adobe flash player in ubuntu from the adobe site and on installing it "dpkg -i install_flash_player_10.deb",.... [16:28] drizzt__, One sec. [16:28] MariosFFX, those folders are hardcoded [16:28] sry in ubuntu 9.10 not debian [16:28] mezquitale i have a on board but its desctiveted on bios [16:28] of course I suffer from Windows... first time on ubuntu... lots of new things to learn [16:28] sravan: no - you said debian [16:29] sravan: lol not sure if i believe that === PhilJFry is now known as askreet [16:29] duartman, askreet_away, Loaded ALSA modules " " [16:29] At first , i contacted debian and they frwarded me to this channel [16:29] I think my laptop with ati x1200/9.10 is ~5x slower than my desktop x550/7.04, but I'll have to verify that [16:29] ok, after mendering around wikipedia a bit, I draw the conclusion Kubuntu is flashier grapicaly, Xubuntu is faster and more lightweight, and Edubuntu come with some more softwere preinstaled. is this corect, or is there more to it? [16:29] MariosFFX: the learning curve is steep but worth it.. [16:29] hey guys, does anyone have an example of how to use unzip with -d parameter from terminal? [16:29] sravan: show me the output of uname -a please [16:29] duartman, you have no alsa modules installed on your machine, for some reason, you need to install them [16:29] drizzt__, removed smbclient and still have Windows Share option.

[16:29] mezquitale, i will try to intall this [16:29] Armok: that's pretty much true, but xubuntu isn't really that lightweight (although moreso than the other buntus) [16:30] sravan: ok - so what's the problem [16:30] ecoms.bg [16:30] I want a small/easy program for my pictures, not GIMP or like that [16:30] x_link, gthumb or eog?

[16:38] duartman, here's a crazy suggestion though, try getting rid of your NVIDIA drivers and see if you get sound [16:38] sravan: possibly that external repo is down at the moment [16:39] ManDay: I believe that may be a bug === askreet is now known as askreet_away [16:39] hello :) [16:39] hello [16:39] ikonia, might be but as it doesnt even offer a checkbox for remembering the auth i think it might also be a missing package [16:39] ikonia, : even When I am trying to remove that package, y is it trying to connect to that ??? === warddie is now known as fredward [16:40] sravan: for the last time - because it's not been installed correctly, so it's trying to fix it [16:40] Can I also emulate MAC on Linux? [16:40] ikonia How can 'udevd' create '/dev/rfcomm0' for me? [16:40] sravan: it's a like a pending task, everytime you are trying to do something with apt it's trying to finish the task [16:40] MariosFFX: as in PPC ? [16:40] mezquitale, ok [16:40] MariosFFX: yes, there's a project but I don't recall the name [16:40] Nevermind [16:40] duartman, maybe this **might** help but I'm seeing your sound card is not configured, maybe this will help you enable it: http://www.shareconnector.com/no-sound-issue-sb-audigy-in-ubuntu-904 [16:40] well i dont even know what's ppc [16:40] i need help figuring out how to get my video card to use hardware drivers [16:40] 'scusate si puo istallare windows xp oltre a questo? [16:40] jrib, PearPC, though it SUCKS [16:41] holy: you need to look at the udev rules, it will only do it if the device is recognised and known [16:41] you can easily emulate old macs but new macs are very very hard to emulate [16:41] Options say I should have been educated as a programmer to be capable to do it... [16:41] Aquaraptor: different one I think [16:41] !it | MORPHEUS [16:41] MORPHEUS: 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) [16:41] darn, didn't seem to detect the driver [16:41] ikonia, : Sorry if I have troubled you , but now that I dont want that package , How can I remove it ? with even purge not wrking ???? [16:41] jrib, well there's also sheepshaver and basiliskII, but those are for old (Pre-OSX) macs [16:41] is i636 64 bit? [16:41] sravan: well, as you installed it using dpkg, try removing it using dpkg [16:41] Aled: no [16:41] also I can emulate windows xp easily eh? [16:41] my video card is an ATI Radeon 9600 pro Sapphire 256mb [16:41] ikonia the device is recognised by 'hcitool scan' and known as 'Motorola C390' [16:42] MariosFFX: you can't "emmualte it" you can run it in a virtual machine [16:42] y [16:42] MariosFFX, yeah x86 systems are easy to virtualize provided you have a new enough system & enough RAM [16:42] that's what I actually mena [16:42] holy: that doesn't mean it's supported by linux as a device [16:42] mean * [16:42] well I have 6gigs [16:42] HI, i just try to hold grub to ver 1 with aptitude hold grub, but then i didn't read carefully and i removed libpolkit is that a problem? [16:42] se da laltro ieri era in italiano [16:42] how do I know if a display driver has been properly installed? === Visual`_ is now known as Visual` [16:42] what's the name of the default network manager in 9.04? [16:42] how do I check if my Processor is 64 bit or not? [16:42] then you probably have a processor with VT - in which case you can easily use virtualbox [16:42] gartral|p: network-manager [16:42] thanks for everything byes [16:42] MariosFFX: Virtualbox.org is your answer.. It will allow you to install whatever you want in a vm [16:42] Aled: boot a 64bit live cd is a quick test [16:43] Aled, it'll show up in your bios [16:43] anyone with rapidshare account can help me dl a 30kb file?

(usability/etc, not opensoure vs nonopensource) [16:43] btiernay: that question you asked is the same as the question i asked. [16:44] I see tons of them, but nothing "definitive" [16:44] fokuslee: cant.. mine is static [16:44] Polydwarf: I'm sure there will be on the web [16:44] Polydwarf: it's not definitive because it's individual taste [16:44] iceroot, somehow it got deleted.. ok, can you help me find a guide for setting up a droid as a 3g modem? aorn it's my ONLY internet, and i know it has modem capabilities [16:44] yeah, there are, but most seem to devolve into opensource vs nonopensource, without addressing performance, memory footprint, etc. [16:44] is there a everything to mpeg converter for linux? [16:44] ikonia The problem is, I used it as modem in 8.04 with "wvdial" and I can not create '/dev/rfcomm0' for 'pppconfig' ... [16:44] Polydwarf: having used both.. I've found Vbox much easier for the desktop.. vmware is heavier ..a little more complicated etc. [16:44] Polydwarf: because it varies a lot on hardware and other things [16:44] heh [16:45] holy: that suggests it should be supported as a linux device then, [16:45] Hello all [16:45] holy: look at your udev rules to see if you have anything that references that device in there [16:45] when will transmission 1.8 be in the repos ? [16:45] does anyone know where i can get drivers for my video card? [16:45] Polydwarf: the version fo vbox from their site is non-free because of the usb support.. [16:46] Ben_90: depends on the card.. [16:46] Ben_90: what video card is it [16:46] Polydwarf: this channel is for ubuntu support - please take discussion requests elsewhere ( #ubuntu-offtopic ) [16:46] lol.. usb support is what I'm primarily interested in (looking at running a magicjack off my mythtv box in the living room) [16:46] !pm Darkfault [16:46] hi guys - i have a small problem. i have an laptop with 2 graphic cards - HD 3200 internal and HD 3870 external. and the ATI-proprietary legacy driver. now the point: how can i change the graphic card in the xorg.conf? only changing the BusID of the graphic card does not help -.- [16:46] !pm > Darkfault [16:46] Darkfault, please see my private message [16:46] scunizi , ikonia : it is an ati radeon sapphire 9600 pro 256mb [16:46] Polydwarf: magicjack is sip.. if you know the login credentials you can use ekiga, twinkle and several others to do the same [16:47] ok, now my server rejects my password, what's wrong [16:47] MORPHEUS hello, how's tau?

[16:51] i686 server-and driver....64bit laptop :x [16:51] Caldeum: you don't change the bus id or anything like that - you change the line that says "driver $something" [16:51] fumbles, have you tried to install printer driver manuaaly?

[18:12] ok, I used shift + numberkeys to 'censor' myself. sorry if that was wrong for me to do. [18:12] has the module toshiba_acpi been deprecated or something? [18:13] CyberViruz: if you can't say a word without staring it out - don't say it [18:13] domjohnson, if « aplay -l » give you something. Check if anything in « alasamixer » is muted or not. Especially the PCM and Master should not be muted. [18:13] nazdar [18:13] ikonia, i asked you how that could happen to my /etc/fstab becuase i have not touched it in some time, sorry for the confusion :-D [18:13] je tu nějaký čech [18:13] benedikt: no afaics /lib/modules/2.6.31-17-generic/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/toshiba_acpi.ko [18:13] !cz | messenjah [18:13] messenjah: České uživatele žádáme, aby mluvili v kanále #ubuntu anglicky.

[18:14] NotTooSmart: you may have made a typo and not noticed [18:14] CyberViruz: your ubuntu box will handle that fine [18:14] empathy is not showing gtalk contacts. please help [18:14] ikonia, yea, i may have not had swap for quite some time, since its a machine I use over ssh so I dont normally see it boot. [18:14] I'm finding myself questioning why have I installed ubuntu in vmware environment without trouble and did the same with ubuntu server, but this time the graphcal system did not work at the first time [18:14] erUSUL: i find no evidence of it being deprecated either. My problem is better described as bug #505328 [18:14] Information: Ubuntu 9.10 installed you can remove the program and install firefox icecat lighter and faster? [18:14] CyberViruz: then use something like the mentioned router oriented distros. will be easier to setup and have nice web guis to set up and monitor [18:14] (network loads would ofcourse pass through the dsl router at the end, but its processor and ram wont be bothered to much with the DHT and so forth. [18:14] fir: stop that please [18:14] LinuxAdmin: ubuntu server comes without a gui [18:15] ok ikonia [18:15] the ubuntu system I installed at work upgraded recently and now the keyboard has reverted AGAIN to american. WTF? What is the correct and proper way to configure the german keyboard so it stays German? [18:15] alright, my high definition videos are being a bit jerky. I am using 9.04, any way to fix this? [18:15] ikonia: about the censoring, sure, I will kep that in mind. [18:15] rgr_: please control your language, we know what wtf means and don't need to see it [18:16] I have installed doc-linux-html. how do I vew the html? [18:16] What would be a good case when to use the at and batch commands instead of cron/anacron? [18:16] rolo: open it in a browser ? [18:16] Bcool, install the right driver? [18:16] rgr: you're lucky, I can't get my keyboard to switch in the first place [18:16] diddy: one of job [18:16] erUSUL, could you send me a pm with a list of router orientated distro it might be what ive been looking for [18:16] the items in the desktop has a Stress, how to abolish it ? [18:16] I really like the command line, but there are some circunstances where a graphical interface is welcome, even in a server environment [18:16] Hi all. Question on mp3 players. When I plug it into USB slot, Nautilus shows it as a place and I can see the files. But in terminal or Gnome Commander I can't find the mp3 device. What is the file path? Do I have to manually mount? [18:16] ikonia: where is it located? [18:16] diddy: one off job, not a regular task [18:16] rolo: normally /usr/share/docs I think [18:16] LinuxAdmin, i beg to differ ;-D [18:16] diddy: i only use at commands for one time occurances only [18:16] LinuxAdmin: such as? [18:17] ikonia, yes I understand that but I was hoping to get an example. [18:17] Pirate_Hunter: i just mentioned the two ones i know from the tip of my head. distrowatch and google should have a lot of more info [18:17] diddy: any one off job, use your imagination [18:17] erUSUL: me too? :P [18:17] hey guys...i am trying to install photoshop cs3 and dreamweaver using wine..will it work..any tutorials out there on karmic kola? [18:17] 9.10 [18:17] isolat3dsh33p - nothing is muted in alsamixer. What should i look out for in aplay -l? [18:17] isolat3dsh33p, what do you mean install the right driver? [18:17] how do i convert aac to mp3? [18:17] baldaris: #wine-hq has some good people and docs [18:17] erUSUL, ok, google it is :)= [18:17] for example a server that hosts virtual machines [18:17] LinuxAdmin: no. there isnt. [18:17] grkblood13: ffmpeg [18:17] someone should really fix the ubuntu.com webpage, the "top" written on the left is definetely misplaced :P [18:18] blakkheim, i tried that [18:18] can i pm you> [18:18] LinuxAdmin: is disagree, most server's are set up and forgotten about, you shouldn't have to access it too much. So a GUI is a waste of resources [18:18] ?* [18:18] grkblood13: sure [18:18] empathy is not showing gtalk contacts. please help [18:18] ikonia, the only thing I can think of is shutdown, but shutdown has its own scheduler built in [18:18] Tried that..just 2 people in channel.. [18:18] diddy: removing a torrent file after a download - does it matter ? [18:18] erUSUL, ok [18:19] I know I can use graphical tools from another machines but it could be inside local network where are not to much risk [18:19] baldaris: #winehq - sorry [18:19] LinuxAdmin: if it's not a technical issue/question you have, could you continue discussion in #ubuntu-offtopic? [18:19] domjohnson, « aplay -l » checks detected sound cards. It should list something [18:19] ikonia, torrent clients can do that. [18:19] diddy: I was giving you an example [18:19] ikonia, I just can not think of something that would require at [18:19] ikonia, k.. [18:19] diddy: does it matter ? [18:19] ok [18:19] ikonia, yes. I am curious. :) [18:20] diddy: wait until a situation comes up and use it [18:20] diddy: cron is for things that repeat, at is for things that you want to happen once [18:20] Bcool, I'm sorry, I interpreted your question wrong. :/ [18:20] Yes, it does. Thanks isolat3dsh33p [18:21] domjohnson, huwm, your welcome I guess. :) [18:21] I need to rescue a Ubuntu install. Does anyone know off the tops of their heads of a small live distro (<200MB) which has LVM and ext4 support? [18:21] empathy is not showing gtalk contacts. please help [18:21] it's an HDA Intel [18:21] It's okay. [18:21] wweasel: just use the ubuntu livecd [18:21] ikonia, thanks. That's >200MB. [18:21] wweasel: I know - but it's a solid platform [18:21] Hi folks. My old fileserver is running Hardy, now I'd like to move over to Karmic. What happens if I do a fresh install from the CD, without formatting my old drives and partitions? I presume old settings and installations will be lost? Should I go a step at a time, Karmic-Intrepid-Jaunty? [18:22] pratik_narain, it's not supported by empathy, if i'm not mistaken. :) [18:22] Misha: it will be a problem, it will either try to upgrade or just dump things over the top, bad idea [18:22] my xorg is using 60% CPU. not using any plasma. what is the problem? [18:22] ikonia: OK, so what would the proper procedure be? [18:22] isolat3dsh33p: but it used to show them earlier [18:23] Misha: an upgrade or a clean install [18:23] Misha: you might want to wait for lucid [18:23] pratik_narain: are you sure you logged in correctly? === root is now known as Guest79617 [18:23] Hi - I have USB Audio, Terratec Aureon 5.1, but no sound is coming out of it [18:23] Has anybody got Terratec Aureon and actually has it working? [18:23] ikonia, I know that too. If you want the full explanation: it's a laptop with a dying CD drive which refuses to boot the Linux CD, or USB disks/external CD drives. My boot partition has 200MB free, and I using grub2 I can mount an ISO there. I can't enlarge it because that would require live shrinking my root partition. [18:23] Misha, I agree with blakkheim advice [18:23] blakheim: Better upgradin possibilities, or just better system? [18:24] oCean_: yup, pidgin works good, and i've imported the same account [18:24] wweasel: check out distro watch [18:24] kl;jkhoihoutgouhkjp [18:24] pratik_narain: don't know about importing. Maybe you could try "add" an account, being your google talk account? [18:24] Nautilus shows my mp3 player as a Place and I can see the files. But in terminal or Gnome Commander I can't find the mp3 device (USB). How do I manually navigate to the USB device? [18:24] pratik_narain, I guess, I'm wrong. That's probably pidgin :( [18:25] Misha: you can upgrade directory from hardy to lucid without going through all the versions [18:25] wweasel, slitaz cooking version might have what you need [18:25] Misha: directly* [18:25] I administrate an older server running ubuntu 7.10 and I needed to add a new large disk (1500GB), the kernel complained that it was a very large disk and wrote a size estimate of something like 937.000.000.000.000.000 MB which of cause didn't work. Was there some problem in older kernels with that large disks? Both the BIOS and the SATA controller reported the disk correctly. (Upgrading is not an option at the moment) [18:25] JamesE: probably is in /media/ [18:25] blakkheim: OK, is that a new feature in lucid? [18:25] Misha: no, it's because hardy and lucid are both LTS releases [18:26] wweasel, slitaz cooking version might have what you need [18:26] !7.10 | m_abs [18:26] m_abs: Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) was the seventh release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 18th, 2009. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. [18:26] blakkheim: Ah, OK! Guess I might hang around then. [18:26] oCean_: I've tried adding fresh account also. It showed all the contacts earlier but now nothing. [18:27] pratik_narain: ah, ok. Don't know then, sorry [18:27] erUSUL: /media has cdrom and cdrom0 directories, both empty. No USB device in /media. The USB device is plugged in now. [18:28] JamesE: what mp3 player is this ? [18:28] m_abs: 7.10 is no longer supported, is there a reason you haven't upgraded? [18:28] grkblood13, soundconverter [18:29] erUSUL: It's a Sansa e260 in USB mode. Nautilus sees it, i can drag files to it. Want to do that in terminal, but I cant find the path... [18:29] JamesE: paste the file /proc/mounts [18:29] Hello everyone, I have been trying to alter my GDM login screen.

[18:33] Wallace: maybe only localhost access is enabled in the cups configuration ? [18:33] jrib, I know. The reason we havn't upgraded yet is that it's a server I've taken over responsibility for and I'm affraid I might break some of the services if I upgrade. So it needs to be when I have the time to handle any such problems. [18:33] any else sugestions? [18:34] sk-for-sex: apparently amarok and rythmbox can [18:34] jrib, I've had a few failed upgrades and our fileserver cannot be offline for a long periode of time.

[18:36] erUSUL: I changed the listen (see my earlier) - It is now responding with a 403 error, rather than simply ignoring it [18:36] Wallace: ok, so that's correct. No conflicting rules in hosts.allow/deny (default empty i think) [18:37] Hello [18:37] Wallace: what about Allow all directive ? for a quick reading of the cupsd.conf manpage ?

I don't have a nice large spare USB stick though, but if this fails I'll shuffle stuff around and give it a shot. [18:45] I'm using a logitech notebook mouse, which could explain it [18:46] Royall: Have you tried with a different mouse? [18:46] Royall: tried a different mouse? I've had two mice fail like that [18:46] Jordan_U, right now I'm rolling my own Ubuntu Live CD to get it down to <200MB. [18:46] I'll try, one sec [18:47] <^paradox^> ok i was in here last nite with a problem. every time i tried to open a an audio or video file by single left clicking it to open it with totem totem would flash and disappear. then when i right clicked on it and selected properties to change it to open with something else the folder would flash, my desktop would flash and disappear, and my home folder was brought up [18:47] jari__: not sure, wait til its convenient then reboot (after adding the ppa and updating / upgrading) [18:47] okay === nix is now known as Guest22753 [18:48] ActionParsnip: can you resend me the link when i'm rebooted then? [18:48] ach, it seems to be the mouse [18:48] anyone know anything about the grub rescue command prompt? [18:48] Is there any way to fix it? Or should I just toss the mouse [18:48] i got a problem with my wlan card;i have Realtek RTL8187SE;can see networks, but i cannot connect to any of em, on an unencrypted network: DHCP (witch on the same computer, same hardware, works perfectly in Win7) goes in an unlimited loop trying to obtain a IP, and with a manually set up IP/Gateway/DNS, it goes as far as beleiving its connected, but i cant connect anywhere; with an encrypted... [18:48] ...network, it spins for a while, then says its wrong password (witch is it not), i got the same problem on Ubuntu 9.10, 10.04, and debian;ideas? [18:48] !anyone | Guest22753 [18:48] Guest22753: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [18:49] <^paradox^> i talked with ardchoille and he asked what was in /etc/apt/sources.list and i told him about six files two of which were to do with gutsy, but i have hardy 8.04. he said i may need to reinstall my os [18:49] <^paradox^> i dont doubt his skills at all, but is there any way to avoid this [18:49] ^paradox^: Did you upgrade from gutsy? [18:50] all was fine and then I upgraded some stuff (already karmic just taking in some aptitude upgrades) and now grub looks for sdc1 instead of sda1 ... if I hit 'e' and specify sda1 it boots okay, if I just try to boot what grub presents as options I get the intrfms (sp?) shell [18:50] jrib: it is mounting with root root permissions, how do I have it mount with tfl tfl (user group) perms? [18:50] <^paradox^> yes i upgraded when it showed up in the updates manager [18:50] ^paradox^: Then it's normal that there should be gutsy entries in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ ( though they should all be disabled ) [18:50] any ideas what I can configure/edit to set grub straight? [18:50] <^paradox^> thats how im used to getting updates [18:50] !grub2 [18:50] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [18:50] tflgen2: it has nothing to do with how you mount it. ext3 stores permissions. Simply change them as the link ubottu gave you explains (chown, and chmod) [18:51] I'm trying to install grub2 to it's own partition, which i thought i did with Ubuntu 9.10 live cd by assigning /boot to that partition, while installing ubuntu to it's own /root partition. When I rebooted and took the live cd out, I ended up at the grub rescue prompt, where the only command I've been able to execute was ls, but I can't execute ls -lh on any of the listed partitions to show their contents [18:51] <^paradox^> but this is causing me a real problem. i right click and look at properties a lot [18:51] <^paradox^> it only does it with audio and video, not text or pictures [18:51] Ok I have never been so confused in my life. I just bought an mp3 player for christmas and everytime I copied an album across to it I would get on my mp3 player and see the tracks were out of order (tags are correct) so for example a 12 track album would have track 4. 8. 6. 3. not 1. 2. 3. 4. etc . . anyway after reading more online I started to notice a patern . . . the people who mentioned they were using linux seemed to have this problem. I ran down [18:52] bantu aku ke orang indonesia [18:52] LewisDre4m: you got cut down at "I ran down" [18:52] !id | najmi [18:52] najmi: join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia [18:52] ran down stairs and copied the SAME folder from windows to my mp3 player and BANG they are in order. WHAT THE HELL is that all about? [18:52] jrib: k thx [18:52] Guest22753: Can you try something like "ls (hd0,1)/" ( note the '/' at the end ) ? [18:52] ActionParsnip, what was the link again? [18:53] hey, I'm having a problem with my wireless adapter.

[18:57] rolo: ftp server needs no gui [18:57] Hello All. I changed my videocard to an ATI Radeon 9200 SE. I did install the package xorg-driver-fglrx and upon reboot the login screen fails some 3-4 times and then says it's going to run in low settings mode. Is this fixable ? [18:57] ah crap, i guess I will just edit with 'e' every time I boot which is rarely, so fine [18:57] ATI-Frustration: your nick pretty much explains it [18:57] LewisDre4m: does your player but them in the order copied or something? [18:57] blacksands: I'm hating it .... === ironmagma_ is now known as ironmagma [18:58] I'm still at the grub rescue command prompt, and I'm trying to boot into ubuntu using the linux, initrd, and boot commands, but grub-rescue can't recognize any of them [18:58] llutz: Why three v's?

I drag the folder across and it ends up in some crazy order not alphabetical. Weirdly when I created the folder manually then copied the tracks across by copy and paste they shoed in order but then went out of order shortly after playing . . . but this did NOT happen from windows.

[18:59] rolo: no it's a client [18:59] najmi: gabung ke #ubuntu-id [18:59] rolo: no, gftp is a client [18:59] lysek: I think that bsd slices should show up just like a normal msdos style partition ( /dev/sdXX ) [18:59] Hello All.

[19:06] <^paradox^> ok so its pretty much a safe move [19:06] There is something called netselect-apt that finds a fast mirror. It was originally developed for debian, and used to be in Ubuntu. It was buggy and was removed. What is the recommended non-obsolete alternative? [19:06] Jordan_U: it says: grub is only i386; after i type make [19:06] lysek: weird [19:06] <^paradox^> i have vlc and mplayer. i dont think i need totem [19:06] lysek: have you ran configure first? [19:07] lysek: grub for BIOS based pcs is always going to be x86, BIOS can't handle anything else [19:07] ^paradox^: i'd agree [19:07] Jordan_U: it should be on (hd0,6) [19:07] ^paradox^: mplayer is awesome [19:07] I recently installed ubuntu and it works fine but freezes randomly. my computer is a hp visualize dual 1ghz P3, 2gigs ram, ati all-in-wonder 9700. its a rare computer. should i install an alternate kernel? alternate install?

[19:08] <^paradox^> well let me try and see what happens. i really dont wanna reinstall if i dont have to reinstall my OS if i dont have to [19:08] 2nd attempt. I've searched all irc logs in Jan10. Anyone can confirm while hibernating no update-manager pops up? [19:08] I have replaced ip and some other info by xxx to avid publishing infp that would compromize the security. :) [19:08] <^paradox^> ive gotten so many things setup and working right [19:08] Guest22753: Ok, try running "set prefix=(hd0,6)/grub" [19:08] jrib, does kill stop a program gracefully? I thought it would shoot it down. [19:08] diddy: it sends SIGTERM, which the program can respond to however it wants [19:09] lysek: is there a bug report for it? [19:09] How do I find a fast mirror?

[19:10] jrib: what do you mean search apt? you mean read the apt manual? [19:10] I tried, but was unsuccessful, do you see anything?

I did install the package xorg-driver-fglrx and upon reboot the login screen fails some 3-4 times and then says it's going to run in low settings mode. Is this fixable ? [19:12] rangor: totem is probably only using one of your cores to play it and that's why it is lagging [19:13] blakkheim: hmm, going to try vlc then [19:13] Is there anywhere I can buy a 6.06 CD? I don't want to have to download it. [19:13] rangor: that won't fix it [19:13] hi [19:13] rangor: this happens anytime you play stuff with totem ? [19:13] !hi | kevin__ [19:13] kevin__: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines . Enjoy your stay!

[19:14] jrib: no, netselect is not in ubuntu anymore. [19:14] blakkheim: does it have a gui? [19:14] bdesk: I see. I assumed that was the one result without checking [19:14] rangor: not by default, no [19:14] Jordan_U: the grub is saying it not linux, and he dont give a f, wont install on it [19:14] blakkheim: k, thanks:) will check it out now:) [19:15] Jordan_U: i will try other boot managers [19:15] lysek: Can you please give the exact command you ran ant the exact error message? [19:15] how do I check if I use alsa or pulse audio? [19:15] <^paradox^> ActionParsnip: ok done [19:15] Jordan_U: grubconfig or grubinstall, i rebooted now to freebsd i am not on livecd anymore [19:16] bdesk: kind of dumb that netselect got removed [19:16] soft [19:16] <^paradox^> but wait it still tries to open them with totem [19:16] bdesk: as pointed out in https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/netselect/+bug/337377 :) [19:17] rangor: https://launchpad.net/~rvm/+archive/mplayer could try the mplayer ppa [19:17] while trying to ssh locally i get this errorhttp://pastie.org/772731 [19:17] <^paradox^> and totem still shows up in apps menu [19:17] so far i was just completely deletetig the known_hosts file [19:18] but is there a way to actually change that file to suite the change [19:18] ^paradox^: use alacarte to remove it then [19:18] I am considering reposting my problem. Noting that I hate ATI now [19:18] wrapster: You can edit/delete specific keys in that file i belive [19:18] <^paradox^> alacarte? i dont know what it is [19:18] Folks, after upgrading my system I'm getting the following unpleasant message when booting Hardy: "Kernel Panic: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0). " And then the system freezes. What should I do about this...? [19:19] ^paradox^: the Gnome menu editor of a sort [19:19] What is the command to find out a package's version? (a package this is not yet installed on your system)? 'aptitude search packagename' doesn't give me the version, is there an option I can add to do this to give me this info? [19:19] Dr_Willis: so how do i find out which is the specific key [19:19] astrojp: apt-cache policy [19:19] astrojp: apt-cache policy packagename [19:19] coz that file just contains chars after chars.. difficult to make out anything [19:19] wrapster: i think the file states the ip/host or somthing in the file at teh start of each key [19:19] astrojp: apitude info package [19:19] <^paradox^> where do u find it? [19:19] Misha: What disk and what partition is your linux installed at ? [19:19] ok [19:20] hello [19:20] <^paradox^> ive never seen it anywhere. it just never came up [19:20] wrapster: if you are certain that the changed key is ok - refer to "offending key: 4" and delete only that one line [19:20] ^paradox^: press alt+f2 type alacarte press enter [19:20] astrojp: my bad, ignore that [19:20] wrapster: line 4 :) [19:20] ATI-frustration: It's been a while since the installation, but I don't think there was anything fancy about it. A normal hard-disk, no dual boots, probably first partition [19:20] Misha: Did you install via wubi? [19:21] Misha: did you do any updates ? [19:21] guntbert: oh.. so that :4 means like 4 is it? [19:21] :) [19:21] ATI-frustration: Yes, I downloaded and installed all the updates the system suggested. [19:21] guntbert: yeah.. thanks [19:21] Jordan_U: As far as I remember the original installation was from a cd [19:21] wrapster: you're welcome :-) [19:21] <^paradox^> ok im in there now what? theres not many options [19:21] ActionParsnip: Thank you! :) [19:22] Misha: aha. It seems your grub is confused about the numbering. [19:22] Misha: Can you try holding the shift key at boot and trying an older kernel version? [19:22] Misha: now you're on linux or windoze ? [19:22] ATI-frustration: Yes, the more detailed error messages suggest that. [19:22] ^paradox^: look at the structre, you will see it matches the apps menu [19:22] hiii jordan :) ubunter too? ^_^ [19:22] blakkheim: I use keys and the key has got a password too. [19:22] ATI-Frustration: Grub uses UUIDs, not partition numbers [19:22] Now on windoze on another computer. I can reach previous kernels through grup, but the problem remains [19:22] obiwan__: Yes :) [19:22] <^paradox^> yes it does? [19:23] :) [19:23] jordan_u: Yes, it refers to a "nonexisting" uuid [19:23] blakkheim: I have disabled the original password prompt and replaced it with key authorization. [19:23] <^paradox^> ok im not following. ur point? [19:24] Misha: Can you pastebin your /boot/grub/grub.cfg? [19:24] ^paradox^: so you can then open the mutimedia section on the left and untick the entry for totem or whatever you want hiding [19:24] Naw, probably not, but I can pick out the relevant goodies! Just a sec [19:25] <^paradox^> yes i could and i can also pretend in my mind that totem doesnt still come up when i left click audio and video files === r_ is now known as Guest39289 [19:26] I'm using Unetbootin to create a bootable USB drive. Are md5sums, sha1sums, and sha512sums available for the resulting flash drive? [19:26] Jordan_U: Misha: true that. I had this message once. I fixed it by trying combinations in /boot/grub/menu.lst at the part: " root (hd0,0)" those 0,0 numbers. I made them be (hd0,1) or (hd1,0) but I can't rememner now. [19:26] ^paradox^: your call [19:26] hi i'm trying to get my webcam to work on ubuntu server... I did dmsg and check witch driver is i use and then i did modprobe [driver_name] and nothing... is there any other way to get my camera to work ? [19:26] Hey #ubuntu. Is there an easy command or interface to check my CPU temp.? [19:26] <^paradox^> not to be a smartass, but seriously thats just ignoring the problem [19:26] jacob3: i wouldent think so - since you could put the system on different sized flash drives - i imagine it would be different sums [19:27] Hello All. I changed my videocard to an ATI Radeon 9200 SE. I did install the package xorg-driver-fglrx and upon reboot the login screen fails some 3-4 times and then says it's going to run in low settings mode. Is this fixable ? [19:27] ATI-Frustration: Removeing fglrx should get you back to where you were before [19:27] now, let's see...i'm in the grub-prompt, how should i cat/edit the grub.cfg? [19:28] Misha: First "ls -l" to see information about your partitions [19:28] Jordan_U: in /etc/X11/xorg.conf there's no seting to load fglrx though. [19:28] <^paradox^> why is totem still there and how do i remove it? [19:28] Text hier eingeben...'ubuntu-de [19:28] ^paradox^: alacarte helps you remove the item, click multimedia on the left panel, then untick the box nxt to totem [19:28] kikou* [19:28] hmm..ls does not work...should i start up a shell first? [19:29] Dr_Willis: If two flash drives differ by 1 byte in size, the md5sums will be different? [19:29] jacob3: i whould think so. wht if you had 2 empty files.. all null's one thats bigger then the other... id think they would differr.. [19:29] ATI-Frustration: Not sure if it's still true, but it used to be that nvidia and fglrx would break loading of the Free drivers as well [19:29] <^paradox^> but is that an uninstall? i need to see once its physically gone if this still happens [19:29] ATI-Frustration: Have you tried actually loading fglrx though? [19:29] Jordan_U: or better formulated, how to instruct the kernel NOT to load fglrx ? [19:30] anondraws: Yes. it is something like lmsensors [19:30] ^paradox^: rmoving it from the menus does not uninstall it. Use the package manager to remove it if you want to === Quartz is now known as Guest84564 [19:30] Jordan_U: at the xorg.log file I can see it loads fglrx [19:30] ^paradox^: if you ran the uninstall commands earlier it will have uninstalled the app [19:30] i try to use 'cat' and followup with a TAB but get the message "Error 1: Filename must be either an absolute pathname or blocklist" [19:30] ^paradox^: seems weird its not removed from the menu too [19:30] Ty, jacob3 [19:30] <^paradox^> it doesnt act like its removed [19:30] anondraws: lm-sensors [19:30] had to switch to gdm and gnome to save my data , altho it's backed up I din't feel like doing a reinstall just to get kde working again [19:31] ^paradox^: the menu cache may need to be refreshed if its still in the menus. a log out/back in should clear it up [19:31] ATI-Frustration: Then add a device section with: Driver "ati" [19:31] <^paradox^> it still tries to open video and audio with totem [19:31] Do I have to add that package? [19:31] anondraws: Open a terminal and type sudo apt-get install lm-sensors [19:31] ^paradox^: if you run: dpkg -l | grep tote does it show up? [19:31] ATI-Frustration: Or, again, just remove the xorg-driver-fglrx package [19:31] K thx. [19:31] ^paradox^: never noticed. I tend to set all my videos to open with vlc by default. [19:32] Misha: type the first character of your target, then [19:32] Jordan_U: correction. The messages indicate that "dri" is loaded and also "glx" is loaded, but there's nothing about fglrx [19:32] hi! my sound on unbuntu souds like high speed disk?? how can i make sounds normaly [19:32] ^paradox^, even if you uninstall Totem it won't update your file associations -- in Nautilus right click a file and change the "Open with" [19:32] <^paradox^> Dr_Willis: ok ill do that and come back. im not trying to be uppety, just i really see this happening [19:33] ATI-Frustration: Either try adding 'Driver "fglrx"' or try removing xorg-driver-fglrx [19:33] <^paradox^> ok i right clicked selected vlc [19:33] Jordan_U: I will see to add the driver line and then I'll be back. Thanks for the hint [19:33] <^paradox^> it opened with that [19:33] I'm going to have another go of this. I have desktop 8.04. I've installed apache, mysql and php for some local testing of websites.

Do I need sendmail, qmail, or postfix? or a different solution? [19:34] Haha, okay I was about to ask. [19:34] lm-sensors was doing nothing...

I don't remember going through all those config steps. Just try sensors after installing. The config maybe necessary for accurate readings though.

[19:38] thx [19:38] ^paradox^: the dpkg will sow the totem packages installed, you need to make sure they are uninstalled if they relate to totem or are totem [19:39] askreet: Maybe the file permissions are wrong at the ssh server.

[19:40] askreet: why group-readable? [19:40] Real_Ubot, You may find something in /var/log/auth.log [19:40] Misha: Does "ls -l" in the grub shell list the UUID that linux can't find? [19:40] llutz, I said I use 600. :P [19:40] thanks Zykotick9 [19:40] llutz, I just think that ssh checks for 640 or better.

[19:43] sdubois, Nautilus - Edit menu / Preferences - Media tab [19:43] Jordan_U: ATI-frustration: OK, I stand corrected :) [19:43] 600 on a directory is quite pointless. 300 or 700 would make more sense [19:44] Jordan_U: ATI-frustration: Then, how should I proceed?

Still hate ATI. It seems a mainstream recomendation. [19:58] obiwan_: i was rather trivial last i did it.

[20:01] i did it well, i'm sure [20:01] Dr_Willis, ahhh thanks :) [20:01] obiwan_: you did enable the gfx mode in /etc/default/grub [20:01] when i do update-grub2 it finds my image [20:01] Jordan_U: ATI-frustration: As I see it, I'd like to check my UUID:s from the grub-menu, but I can't figure out which command to use. Any suggestions, or is there another place I could go for some hints? [20:01] so i know it's working, but then i reboot and no image at all [20:01] hi all [20:01] Dr_Willis, i can access shared files manually, and i can live with that. it's the printers i can't get to work [20:01] nope Dr_Willis ,what should i enable? [20:01] obiwan_: if you dnt enable the gfx mode.. then it wont show it... [20:01] i mean, what should i do? [20:02] obiwan_: look at the config file.. /etc/default/grub [20:02] ok 'ma tryit [20:02] i have got problem in ubuntu software centre [20:02] Hey, I'm a bit confused with the user crontabs, system crontab, at, and anacron. All I'd like to do is have a command run as a certain non-privledged user on a daily basis (the system may not be online 24/7, so I think anacron would be better?) [20:02] Jordan_U: well I don't know how to use much the grub-menu. :( [20:02] Can somene point me in the right direction? [20:02] misha: well I don't know how to use much the grub-menu. :( [20:02] wie zou me even kunnen helpen met eid cardreader ??? [20:03] Misha: I don't think there is a way to check UUIDs from grub in grub legacy, but if the uuid= line matches the root=UUID= kernel parameter then it is probably correct [20:03] Jordan_U: by the way, removing that package did solve my problem. Now is all good and the eye candy works too ^^ [20:03] Dr_Willis: do you mean the GRUB_GFXMODE=640X480? [20:03] when i am installing any software the package is broken and getting error [20:03] Schiz0: use cron as your account, anacron if you want to have it run when you turn the machine back on [20:03] it's supposed to be the default, so you don't need to uncomment that line if ur image is 640x480 [20:03] Schiz0, Basically anacron will run if the system is down, at the next available moment. Cron will only run if it's online at that point. [20:03] Misha: but you can do it using the ubuntu install cd as a liveCD I'd presume [20:04] it's supposed to be the default, so you don't need to uncomment that line if ur image is 640x480 Dr_Willis sry i didn't type ur name [20:04] GRUB_GFXMODE=1280x1024 [20:04] Schiz0, It does sound like anacron would work for you. === strixbg is now known as strix [20:04] Jordan_U: ATI-frustration: Ah, yes, that would work! [20:04] obiwan_: actually - yes you do.. otherwise its NOT using a gfx mode.. its using text mode. [20:04] ok....thanks. Is there a user anacron tab? like there is crontab (insted of /etc/crontab) ? [20:04] like, where wuoold I put the script? [20:04] yeah Dr_Willis but my image is 640x480 the grub default, so it should already work if my image is the default res for grub2 [20:04] I'm off. It's late here. Thanks again and be well all. [20:04] Dr_Willis (or anyone) this is as far as i an get to my printer. WORKGROUP is the workgroup name and JD is the machine name of the pc that has the printer shared. so samba is at least working on some level? http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i44/solidus0079/Screenshot.png [20:04] obiwan_: or else you ve done some othet little typo wrong [20:05] obiwan_: uncomment it and see. try the vbeinfo command like it suggests also. [20:05] Schiz0, Not sure but I don't think Anacron has user tabs. Check 'man anacron' to be sure. [20:05] Jordan_U: ATI-frustration: Thx for your help and interest! [20:05] Misha: np [20:05] i didn't Dr_Willis , i took care and backup 05_debian_theme (the only file in the whole grub thing i edited) [20:05] Schiz0, Could always use su as your job, like "su -c "dothis" user" [20:06] Dr_Willis: No, gfxterm is the default [20:06] Dr_Willis: and i didn't change anything else like text and stuf [20:06] Anyone have a minute to answer a Nautilus saved search question?

[20:07] wat is de nederlandstalige chatt ??? [20:07] one friend told me that you absolutely need the grub2-splashimages package to make grub2 background images work [20:07] I have installed a windows application through Wine, and now I want to add it's icon, how? [20:08] dammit >_< [20:08] i read the apt-ache showpkg grub2-splashimages and it says it's just a bunch of default background for your grub2, it doesn't talk about any system mod, did you need to install that to make your image work? [20:08] Can nautilus do recursive searching on saved searches? I've checked in the saved search setup, google, etc., but it only returns matches in the primary folder selected for searching.

I just use png's [20:11] ^paradox^, Gone? Why do you want it gone? [20:11] askreet: no, but I've seen that issue before. Usually means your home directory isn't associated with your username [20:11] <^paradox^> so next i ran dpkg -l | grep tote [20:11] laebshade, Yeah, it's in passwd, the $HOME variable is set correctly and typing 'cd' puts me in ~. [20:11] hi guys [20:11] But the prompt starts at / in new terminals. [20:11] <^paradox^> thats a long story [20:11] Very strange. [20:12] ^paradox^, Well you still have totem installed. [20:12] ok but you installed it, maybe you need it i diunno, i'll let you know when i do Dr_Willis thankx [20:12] askreet: go to system -> Administration -> Users and Groups, make sure your home directory is listed next to your login name [20:12] I just installed Karmic on my Toshiba Satellite A105-S2031 laptop. When I try to play video the sound is perfect but the video is very choppy. It almost looks like I'm flipping through pictures. Anyone know how to fix this? [20:12] i want to run a rsyncd in a chroot but to create the chroot the daemon needs root. is there a way to get around this? [20:12] laebshade, Yeah it's all based on /etc/passwd -- which is correct. [20:12] i dont want to have an open daemon running as root, even if it internally creates a chroot jail [20:12] i need some help.can anyone help me please? [20:12] debra: medibuntu [20:12] debra: do you know what graphics your laptop has and what driver it's using? [20:13] Hilikus: What are you trying to accomplish? [20:13] ^paradox^, You would have to run sudo apt-get remove totem-xine totem-common [20:13] monokrome: explain ur problem [20:13] Jordan_U: chroot started by non-root to run rsyncd [20:13] to backup [20:13] BoriTori, Can we see a df -h? [20:13] daftykins, 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RC410 [Radeon Xpress 200M] [20:13] askreet: open a new terminal, then type export | grep -i "yourhomedir" [20:13] Hilikus: Yes but why? What is your end goal? [20:14] Jordan_U: backup [20:14] laebshade, $HOME is set. [20:14] Hilikus: why not running a deamon as root? security? [20:14] problem with live streming videos.i can not see live streming videos [20:14] askreet: that command returns your properly set one? [20:14] Hilikus: You don't need to run rsync in a chroot for normal backups [20:14] Jordan_U: its a server thats going to receive backups from clients over the wire [20:14] askreet: what am i looking for ? [20:14] Azeotrope: yes, security [20:14] BoriTori: what does "ls -ld /var/spool/cron/crontabs/" say? [20:14] mano1979: did u load flash driver??? [20:14] BoriTori, Just wanted to see if /tmp was special in any way. [20:15] hello, i am running ubuntu 9.10 64bit and have Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02) and am getting poor sound quality. in headphones it very low volume evenw when everything is set to 100%. any ideas? [20:15] Hilikus: then don't use ubuntu [20:15] Hilikus: Why do you think that needs a chroot? [20:15] debra: you can find the current driver from the content of /var/log/Xorg.0.log if you could pastebin that please [20:15] how cn i load this driver? [20:15] daftykins, I copied that from terminal using lspci. I don't see any proprietary drivers [20:15] Azeotrope: what should i use then? [20:15] <^paradox^> trying that now and ill explain askree [20:15] <^paradox^> askreet [20:15] Jordan_U: it doesnt NEED it, i want to have to for security [20:15] Hilikus: slackware [20:15] Hilikus: A chroot alone does not provide security [20:15] Hilikus, What are you trying to do that you're being told to not use Ubuntu? That's peaking my interest. :) [20:16] mano1979: go to youtube try to load a video and it will ask u to go to website and load flash player [20:16] Azeotrope: do you recommend debra change codecs to medibuntu provided ones over changing gfx driver? [20:16] askreet: check your .bashrc, /etc/bash.rc, /etc/profile or /etc/profile.d/ for cd commands or scripts that cd to root, [20:16] laebshade, Good point. Checking. [20:16] <^paradox^> ok now totems gone [20:16] Hilikus: I recommend a user locked down via apparmor, like is setup with the guest account feature [20:16] daftykins: i did so and worked better for me [20:16] Azeotrope: similar hardware? === BlouBlou is now known as BlouBlou_ === BlouBlou_ is now known as BlouBlou [20:17] triplex i load this driver and videos are playing but in very slow motion. [20:17] lol, I come to ask a question, I don't get it answered, but end up staying to answer questions. I bet that happens a lot. [20:17] daftykins: no, nvidia gforce.. desktop [20:17] mano1979: or try flashplugin-installer or flashplugin-onfree.......... do a apt-get install... [20:17] laebshade: yep that's how i got stuck here ;) [20:17] Azeotrope: why are you recommending not to use ubuntu for a file server to receive backups? [20:18] <^paradox^> askreet: id give u a slobbering wet kiss if u were here. u solved all my problems [20:18] daftykins, http://paste.ubuntu.com/354662/ [20:18] I only get system sounds, and only from 1 channel. I am sad. [20:19] ^paradox^, I'm back, but I will pass. Thanks. [20:19] :) [20:19] guntbert: i think ubuntu is more suited for desktop users. [20:19] Azeotrope, ubuntu server is *fantastic*. [20:19] <^paradox^> they all seemed to originate from totem [20:19] Jordan_U: i know it it alone doesnt provide security, thats exactly why i want to run it as non-root [20:19] As a sysadmin for 150 RHEL boxes, I wish we used it. [20:19] askreet: Server side, you said. Meybe you are right, but where shall I look to find the answer? [20:19] mano1979: apt-get install flashplugin-installer ....on terminal line.... [20:20] debra: ok, "RADEON" driver is being used. if you point to system -> administration -> hardware drivers do you get any suggestions for alternative ones to install? [20:20] ubuntu server is more like a barebones debian, isn't it? [20:20] laebshade, In many ways, yes. [20:20] Jordan_U: ok, i dont know if apparmor is in ubuntu server but i guess i could install it if its not [20:20] But the stable cycle is more up-to-date. [20:20] sounds like a good choice, then [20:20] mano1979: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer ....on terminal line.... [20:20] Hilikus: It is [20:20] but I'm a gentoo guy when it comes to servers [20:20] Jordan_U: oh ok [20:20] daftykins, http://paste.ubuntu.com/354662/ [20:20] Oh man, Gentoo, I started there. [20:20] How can I create a partition in Xubuntu? [20:20] Azeotrope: sorry - but "I think..." should not be the base for such recommendations in a *support* channel (in a discussion channel of course...) [20:20] but for desktop, Ubuntu is king [20:20] daftykins, sorry about that... none at all [20:20] <^paradox^> askreet: may i pm u and explain everything that was going just to be safe not post it all in here for the fifth time today? [20:21] Jordan_U: ive just read over it quickly, the idea is i would limit a certain user to certain commands or what? [20:21] askreet: find anything in those locations? [20:21] Hilikus: Allowing non-root to use chroot will likely decrease securtiy much more than it increases it [20:21] I'm on Karmic and having troubles with Firefox following links containing anchor references. It does not jump to the anchor on page open. However if I go to the page again (click in addy bar and hit enter) it DOES go to the anchor. Just not on page open. [20:21] Jordan_U: really?? why?? [20:21] Any ideas? [20:21] laebshade, No 'cd' in either system-wide file :( [20:21] laebshade, And I moved my user files out of the way. [20:21] laebshade, I give up for now. Going to go play video games. Nothing like not solving a problem. [20:21] azeotrope, how do I use medibuntu? [20:22] Clicking refresh also does not go to anchor. [20:22] hello: can anyone please help me with a dvd-rom problem using ubuntu 9.10? [20:22] !apparmor [20:22] For information about the AppArmor security framework employed in Ubuntu (since Gutsy Gibbon), see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppArmor [20:22] Hilikus: If an attacker is able to get access to use chroot they can setup a fake root with their own /etc/password and gain root priveleges [20:22] askreet: heh. Create a new user, log in with it, and see what happens [20:22] debra: ok there's a guide here for the closed source 'fglrx' driver, and the ATI direct one, but you may be tempted to start with the suggestion of trying codecs from medibuntu [20:22] http://www.medibuntu.org/ [20:22] debra: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu [20:22] Hilikus: There is a reason you can't run chroot without being root [20:22] laebshade, I will some other time. baddies need squishing. [20:22] kaell: go to #firefox channel [20:22] this is unblieveable how many llamas are using linux these day, this is so sad === askreet is now known as askreet_away [20:22] Jordan_U: oh ok, im glad you told me that [20:22] azeotrope, daftykins, thank you [20:23] Anyone here play springrts? [20:23] cd/dvd writing problems. tried dvd+r discs, wasted a ton, and then all of a sudden 1 worked (using cdrecord), but it never before/after even with same discs, same command and same iso. Ive used k3b/brasero/cdrecord/imgburn in wine/gnomebaker all same. Using dvd-r verbatim discs now, no joy. http://pastebin.com/d34d20c57 outputs from brasero/nero [20:23] How do I create a partition from inside Xubuntu? [20:23] my pleasure [20:23] <^paradox^> ill explain here actually. maybe some will benefit [20:23] Aled: run 'gparted' ? [20:23] Aled: sudo cfdisk [20:23] Hey guys, Question. I've got a volume shared out using CIFS. I want to also share it out using NFS. If I have concurrent access from both (read/write), do I risk filesystem corruption? [20:23] The problem: sometimes the dvd-rom will almost get stuck inside and the eject button will not work. I looked it up and understand that ubuntu will "lock" the cd-rom drive while it's being used but sometimes it wont even mount and then I cannot eject the drive until i reboot... really annoying! Anyone can help? [20:23] triple_x, I'm there, figured I'd try here since it's likely Karmic specific. This does not happen in any other Firefox installs. [20:23] Aled: gparted is the best partitioning tool [20:23] <^paradox^> yesterday i was playing songs and videos by left clicking and totem acted fine === arcturus2 is now known as arkturus [20:24] Hilikus: Maybe you should ask in #ubuntu-server or ##security [20:24] Aled: what partition? do you have empty space? [20:24] kaell: i will do research give me a second [20:24] redfuxe01: I believe both file systems "lock" files when they're in use [20:24] cheers :) [20:24] Hilikus: Or, better, find a pre-made ( security audited ) solution [20:24] <^paradox^> then when i clicked on the next song totem flashed, disappeared, and it did this with audio and video [20:24] kaell: what version of firefox??? [20:24] 3.5.7 [20:24] anyone? [20:25] laebshade: so if someone locks in CIFS, the people connecting via NFS will see that same lock? === linxeh_ is now known as linxeh [20:25] Jordan_U: its all gonna be through ssh also, and the ssh key will limit what commands can be executed [20:25] triplex i did that.last message on terminal is ''file var/log/apt is missing [20:25] mleger: happens to me too. unmount first, eject second [20:25] redfuxe01: I believe so [20:25] and videos doesn't play good [20:26] <^paradox^> i tried right clicking and selecting properties on both file types and then the folder and my desktop would flash, disappear, and my home folder came up [20:26] Azeotrope, I want to create unpartitioned space [20:26] but plugin installed [20:26] <^paradox^> completely removing totem solved the problem [20:26] I don't currently have any [20:26] I have trouble getting X working on a new 9.10 install. After GRUB I see a black/white logo for a short time, and then my monitor throws up an error about being unable to display the display mode. When cycling resolutions with ctrl-alt-+ I do get an image, but it's all garbled up. Vidcard is an Nvidia 7600GS on PCI Express, with a Dell 24" monitor capable of 1600x1200 on the VGA port. Debian is running fine on the same computer, both usi [20:26] Azeotrope: I cannot unmount sometimes because the dvd wont even get mounted. Is there any other solution? [20:27] triple_x, let me disable extensions, make sure that isnt it... shoulda done that first, eh? [20:27] ShereKhan: which driver are you using, nv or nvidia? [20:27] kaell: try this link http://www.webmasterworld.com/firefox_browser/3943600.htm [20:27] ShereKhan: is it using the default... what laebshade said ^_^ [20:27] Aled: sudo cfdisk. make sure you have partitions to delete and not ending deleting your /. [20:27] ShereKhan: boot to root recovery mode and uninstall xserver-xorg-video-nv then reboot [20:27] hey guys, how would i change the default file manager from nautilus to dolphin in ubuntu karmic? [20:28] ShereKhan: on rare occassions I have had to install video drivers (proprietary) from CL before anything works. What card do you have? [20:28] ShereKhan: you will then use the vesa driver and can then install the proprietary driver once booted [20:28] adelie42: s/he said its a 7600GS [20:28] <^paradox^> now i want to use vlc or mplayer to open audio and video from now on. if i right click on properties and change it over for one mp3 would it do it for all? [20:28] triple_x, my problem is on all pages, not pages I've written, I don't think there is an error in their HTML [20:29] I have tried installing nvidia-glx-173 and nvidia-glx-185, but it does not seem to use either. The X log indicates that it is trying NV, VESA and FBDEV, but then fails [20:29] ricerocket: a quick google looks like your question has been answered: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=665156&page=1 [20:29] kaell: after reading around seems to me that you need to reload firefox [20:29] triple_x, I can also tell the anchors work since if you click in addy bar and hit enter, it DOES in fact take you to the anchor [20:29] reload as in reinstall? [20:29] ShereKhan: once installed, run "sudo nvidia-xconfig" to make it use teh driver [20:29] ShereKhan: what daftykins [20:29] <^paradox^> or if not what would i need to do? [20:29] said [20:29] laebshade: I tried googling it and nothing worked, but thanks [20:29] * daftykins high-fives laebshade [20:29] ShereKhan: Enable the driver in System > Administration > Hardware Drivers [20:30] ActionParsnip: you know the package name off hand? nvidia-glx-185, right? [20:30] w00 yeah ^_^ [20:30] ricerocket: I haven't used that link I sent you, but the person on there said it worked [20:30] triple_x, by "reload" do you mean reinstall? if not, i dont know what that means [20:30] cd/dvd writing problems. tried dvd+r discs, wasted a ton, and then all of a sudden 1 worked (using cdrecord), but it never before/after even with same discs, same command and same iso. Ive used k3b/brasero/cdrecord/imgburn in wine/gnomebaker all same. Using dvd-r verbatim discs now, no joy. http://pastebin.com/d34d20c57 outputs from brasero/nero [20:30] please could somebaody tell me how to download youtube video when you r working on ubuntu OS? [20:30] adelie42: Do you install proprietary drivers for NVidia? From the repos, or binary file from NVidia? [20:30] laebshade: ok, thanks, ill try it [20:30] Jordan_U: How do I do that with no working X? :p [20:30] ShereKhan: repo [20:30] himanshu_: apt-cache search youtube [20:30] triplex videos are still playing like i have a really bad connection [20:31] azeotrope, daftykins, I followed the directions on that page and still having choppy video [20:31] ShereKhan: sudo jockey-text [20:31] Hey, sudo nvidia-xconfig did the trick! [20:31] himanshu_, buffer the entire clip and copy the file named Flash(something) and rename to flv or mp4 [20:31] ShereKhan: Or manually edit the xorg.confg [20:31] ShereKhan: cool :) [20:31] thanks for the help triple_x, i'll try that later tonight [20:31] ShereKhan: awesome [20:31] Jordan_U: 'cept there isn't one, so nvidia-xconfig is easiest [20:31] ShereKhan: ctrl-alt-f1 for comand line, then sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180 [20:31] Jordan_U: what if i create the chroot myself instead of letting rsync create it, then i start rsyncd manually insdie the chroot jail like a non-root user? [20:32] himanshu_, meant to say from /tmp [20:32] debra: just to add the medibuntu repo and install its' codecs, or? what did you do exactly? [20:32] daftykins: What do you mean there isn't one? [20:32] ShereKhan: I double checked the name. [20:32] ShereKhan: I had a similar issue once. I tried switching to a different nvidia driver (noveau), then when I switched back, the nvidia-specific xorg.conf was never generated, had to run that command myself [20:32] triple_x: What? [20:32] Jordan_U: well there no longer is a /etc/X11/xorg.conf at all in Karmic is there. [20:32] debra: maybe not enough resources? [20:32] What's that app that lets you set preffered applications called in synaptic? [20:32] Jordan_U: so for a new user specifying the driver statically is a bit more effort [20:32] monokrome: what is the what for [20:32] daftykins: But you can create one [20:32] himanshu_: just drag the flash on your desktop [20:32] daftykins, I added to medibuntu and installed codecs [20:32] <^paradox^> i tested it and figured it out. it does do it for all if u change it in properties [20:32] daftykins: there isn't? I'm staring right at mine. [20:33] daftykins: And I suggested jockey-text first ;) [20:33] <^paradox^> thanks for your help everyone [20:33] laebshade: did you upgrade? [20:33] ShereKhan: after install, restart, go to recovery mode in grub and tell it to fix X [20:33] yea [20:33] himanshu_: it's in the /tmp [20:33] draging after the clip is fully buffered? [20:33] laebshade: yeah you'll have a legacy one from a previous ubuntu ver then [20:33] daftykins: so where is xorg.conf stored then? [20:33] daftykins: in new 9.10 installs [20:33] laebshade: it's auto generated on boot lately, doesn't have one [20:33] ShereKhan: it way just work after a restart, but if not, that is the next step the easy way [20:33] himanshu_: yes. or copy/past or whatever [20:33] daftykins, do you think I needed to restart the laptop? [20:33] <^paradox^> oh one other thing [20:33] eltume: gnome-default-applications-properties [20:34] daftykins: that's interesting, [20:34] triple_x: You asked me what my question was, but I don't remember ever asking one :) [20:34] debra: try a software update from system -> administration first, and install things, then reboot and try once more [20:34] ok [20:34] daftykins, ok [20:34] guntbert, thank you [20:34] anbody know how to get xbmc working with the xbox wireless controller? [20:34] monokrome: Got the wrong user name sorry ;) [20:34] the controller shows up [20:34] what about apt-cache search youtube . [20:34] as input device [20:35] corecode: have you searched the wiki and the forum for XBMC? [20:35] <^paradox^> if i have hardy, but upgraded from gutsy via updates manager and gutsy stuff shows up in my /etc/apt/sources.list im fine? [20:35] eltume: if you right click on applications - edit menus you can see for yourself :-) [20:35] daftykins: yea, many posts, but i'm not sure where the problem is [20:35] daftykins, no updates available [20:35] <^paradox^> my systems not corrupt or needs a reinstall or anything? [20:35] daftykins: the kernel driver works [20:35] thanks laebshade: that did it for me [20:35] daftykins: i just don't know how to get xbmc to use it [20:35] what does apt-cache means , [20:35] debra: ah ok, try a reboot, see if playback is still bad, then consider trying the ATI graphics driver :) [20:36] daftykins, ok [20:36] debra: actually what are you playing and what player? [20:36] adelie42: the package I named will need removing, you can install the 185 driver once in the desktop. Installing the 185 driver under root recovery mode may help (assuming you have network access there) [20:36] ricerocket: cool [20:36] himanshu_: I guess he menat that there is an application called youtube-dl - apt-cache is a program you can start from Command line [20:36] daftykins, the default player [20:36] <^paradox^> please someone tell me its all good, that i need reinstall ubuntu [20:36] triplex i have an asus eee pc 4g if this will help u more [20:36] adelie42: if not you will have to remove xserver-xorg-video-nv so you use the vesa driver [20:36] ActionParsnip: I meant 180 [20:36] Jordan_U: What is jockey-text? I see nothing happening when I run it, and there is no man-page [20:37] hi [20:37] <^paradox^> need not [20:37] what is wrong here: http://i47.tinypic.com/2r23j9h.png [20:37] oh .. [20:37] guntbert, IT says "E: Couldn't find package gnome-default-applications-properties [20:37] " [20:37] daftykins, Movie Player [20:37] debra what kind of video files? [20:37] i mean the warning: does not end at cylinder boundary, and how to fix it [20:37] daftykins, Mp4 [20:37] adelie42: the 180 is fine too [20:37] Hello everybody! I've strange issue with vncviewer...I've setted up a server in a remote location, forwarded port 5900 to the local ip of this server, but when I try to connect vncviewer shows a loop on my local desktop..any idea on how to solve? [20:37] Anyone here use Back in Time? I was just looking at it, thinking the icon should be a picture of a Delorean instead of a hard drive... [20:37] adelie42: you can even add the nvidia ppa and try the 195 [20:37] Hai. I have used httrack to mirror a site, and I'd love to compile these HTML files into PDF or CHM, leaving the content the same (ie CSS etc gets processed in). any tips? [20:37] laebshade: change it then [20:38] ShereKhan: It's the text equivelent of jockey-gtk ( Hardware Drivers ). If you get no output then you have no hardware that needs proprietary drivers ( at least that's what jockey thinks ) [20:38] debra: so when you first played the file and it opened, did it play automatically or did it ask to install codecs first? (the sort of auto wizard that helps you install them) [20:38] ActionParsnip: oooh, havn't ever tried that :) [20:38] ActionParsnip: your sense of humor is lacking [20:38] eltume: no, just type that in a terminal [20:38] laebshade: a little [20:38] daftykins, played automatically [20:38] adelie42: runs on my 6150 just fine [20:38] anybody? joystick with xorg/xbmc? [20:38] hmm, ok. try the reboot and then we'll try graphics driver [20:39] mano1979: is this a ASUS EEE PC / ASUS EEE NETBOOK OR ASUS EEE LAPTOP????? anyways this is not going to make a big difference when it comes to anchors in firefox.... [20:39] daftykins, ok [20:39] eltume: I guess I missread your question - sorry [20:39] lol it's ok [20:39] btw I'm on a custom minimal ubuntu install [20:40] triplex its asus eee pc 4g and itss a small netbook [20:40] cd/dvd writing problems. tried dvd+r discs, wasted a ton, and then all of a sudden 1 worked (using cdrecord), but it never before/after even with same discs, same command and same iso.

I know its nothing to do with bad discs/writer as it works flawless in windows [20:43] mano1979: your using ubuntu on a netbook??? look into ubuntu remix, moblin, easy peasy and jolicloud for netbooks.... [20:43] duffydack: got the latest firmware in? [20:43] ActionParsnip, yup [20:43] Jordan_U: Is it a big thing to update from grub 0.97 to grub2? And would grub2 be a better system to resolve my boot problem? [20:43] duffydack: and mobo bios? [20:43] triplex i use eay peasy [20:43] 9.04 [20:43] ActionParsnip, I was lookin into permissions for the /dev/sr0 and the cdrecord/growisofs programs earlier.. not sure but I think they are ok [20:43] any recommendation for a computer with 32MB RAM? besides taking it to the dump? [20:43] Is there anyway I can set preffered applications through the terminal [20:43] Hey Everyone [20:43] will anything decent run on it? [20:43] ActionParsnip, its a dell studio 1747, i7 , and yes latest bios. [20:44] kaell: freedos :) [20:44] duffydack: try running the burning app using gksudo [20:44] ActionParsnip, windows has no issues.. [20:44] ActionParsnip, I have done... [20:44] Misha: It's not hard to update from 0.97 to grub2 but I don't think that alone will fix your boot problems [20:44] mano1979: easy peasy has problems there working on they are going to come out with easy peasy 2.0 in the next couple weeks... [20:44] debra: ok i'm just deciding which driver'd be best, bear with me [20:44] duffydack: dunno what to suggest them except different media [20:44] ActionParsnip, Im in the cdrom group and tried everything.. its a pain in the butt bootin to windows to burn [20:44] daftykins, ok [20:44] or is that bare... *shrug* [20:45] ./server irc.oltreirc.net [20:45] linux-image-2.6.31-16-generic: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2: What to do? [20:45] triple_x: Oh! No worries. I was just confused! lol :) [20:45] When i installed fluxbox, no device automatically mounts in fluxbox, how do I solve that [20:45] daftykins, those two always confuse me too.. LOL [20:45] help my [20:45] :) [20:46] debra is it a toshiba L30-134? [20:46] ware command? [20:46] Got a few quick questions. if I have an infected NTFS or FAT32 file system and I remove the files off of the drive onto my ubuntu OS can I infect other partitions of the drive [20:46] daftykins, a105-s2031 [20:46] io_: Do you have an ubuntu support question? [20:46] so triplex i have to wait.do you suggest any better OS for me or u suggest me to wait? [20:46] Cuddles: only if the files execute [20:46] sure Cuddles, depends on the nature of the virus [20:46] Cuddles: if you are booted into ubuntu then the windows virus will never run [20:46] Jordan_U: There's probably more to the situation than the grub-version, yeah. But I booted from a live-cd, my hard disks are working fine, the UUID was correct, so the problem is elsewhere. A new version of the installation procedure might do the trick...or am I just wishing for horses? [20:46] Cuddles: Only if you access those files again from windows [20:46] that are with the ubuntu os [20:47] Cuddles: its just a data file like the rest [20:47] my ave send command for server [20:47] Cuddles: are they dll or exe files? [20:47] ??? [20:47] Not sure [20:47] Cuddles: if you simply delete it then it won't run so will be simply killed [20:47] ware join command? server it? [20:47] if you want ot play with them Cuddles - put them in a zip or tar file for later? [20:47] i think i've heard of people making files that could be run on linux and windows... if it is one of these, and a virus that attacks both, and you run it, then yes it could potentially cause harm [20:48] or if it is like a javascript file that takes advantage of browser vuln, and your linux browser is vuln too, and you click it to open with browser, then yes you could have problems [20:48] How can i get info on which video driver is currently in use by xorg [20:48] Cuddles: i'd boot to a livecd and mount the other partitions read only ;) [20:48] my laptop started developing symptoms so I wanna dump all the files off of it on to a backup drive and virus scan it [20:48] _generally_ though, no, it should be fine [20:48] hak5fan: sudo lshw -C display [20:48] Cuddles - play with it in a virtual box [20:48] but my ubuntu OS runs on a partition with WinXP and Win7 [20:49] setup an Virtual Box Machine [20:49] mano1979: jolicloud is very similar to easy peasy and is probably the best idea or ubuntu remix.... I would say go to youtube and watch videos on Moblin, Jolicloud, Ubuntu Remix this should give you an idea of which one you would like to try... [20:49] hak5fan: /var/log/Xorg.0.log [20:49] then play with it there cuddles [20:49] ok [20:49] Tanks [20:49] Cuddles: yes but if you mount them read only they will be marked as busy and mounted read only so they cannot have their data modified [20:49] So if its on the back up drive it cant infect my partitions === chaky_ is now known as chaky [20:49] any suggestions for a good ubuntu based distro for netbooks? [20:49] triplex ty very much [20:49] !unr | k4rt33k [20:49] k4rt33k: Ubuntu Netbook Remix is a slightly altered version of Ubuntu, optimised for small screens. For more information, please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UNR - support in #ubuntu [20:50] io_: this is the ubuntu support channel on freenode [20:50] k4rt33k: theres so many of them out. and so many little changes, variations, or big changes/variations - depends on you rneeds. [20:50] Isent there a Kubuntu based UNR out also? [20:51] i need to get my acer's wireless button to work in ubuntu [20:51] Dr_Willis_: yes easypeasy [20:51] any ideas? [20:51] So... this morning it took 4 attempts to book Ubuntu. [20:51] Dr_Willis_: with installed kubuntu-desktop [20:51] So I shouldnt worry about infecting my Ubuntu OS or other partitions as long as I dont access the files? What virus scanner should I use [20:51] When i installed fluxbox, no device automatically mounts in fluxbox, how do I solve that? [20:51] First three it just seemed to hang at random times during boot, no errors either [20:52] ubottu: Thanks... But I heard of some distro based on Prism of mozilla...can't remember the name [20:52] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:52] Cuddles: just delete that infected stuff, done [20:52] k4rt33k: theres the google os. [20:52] Dr_Willis_: Thanks... But I heard of some distro based on Prism of mozilla...can't remember the name [20:52] what if i dont know what files are infected? [20:52] k4rt33k: tne theres other browser-only os;s also [20:52] * Dr_Willis_ has no idea what prism is [20:53] k4rt33k: the issue with those can be what hardware is supported [20:53] debra: ok are you running 32 or 64-bit karmic? [20:53] Cuddles: delete all, restore clean backup then [20:53] daftykins, 32 bit [20:53] hi [20:53] Ok, what virus scanner would you advise for me to run on Ubuntu [20:53] debra ok if you click http://www.amd.com/us/Pages/AMDHomePage.aspx and in the top right 'download drivers' bit, choose motherboard/chipset then Linux x86 of course, then miss the next, and finally Radeon Xpress 200 [20:54] then scroll to the bottom and click download [20:54] when i plug an earphone and boot ubuntu, sound only comes out thru airphone - if i unplug the earphone then there is no sound [20:54] !virus | Cuddles [20:54] Cuddles: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [20:54] can i get back sound without restarting [20:54] I wanna use the scanner to scan my back up drives [20:54] sixtila: I'm not frankly sure how. [20:54] Cuddles: clamav is pretty much the default i think [20:55] sweet! [20:55] Cuddles: clamav works decently well. I think theres one or 2 other av programs out for linux as well [20:55] Dr_Willis_ Prism is an application that lets users split web applications [20:55] out of their browser and run them directly on their desktop [20:55] what would you advise Dr_Willis === kb is now known as Guest74474 [20:56] uh, that link hasn't been updated since 2005 [20:56] How do I say I do not something like Dr.Willis did? (newbie on irc) [20:56] and was originally written in 2000 [20:56] Hello everybody! I've strange issue with vncviewer...I've setted up a server in a remote location, forwarded port 5900 to the local ip of this server, but when I try to connect vncviewer shows a loop on my local desktop..any idea on how to solve? [20:56] daftykins, ok, downloading now.. I'll let you know what happens === ^paradox^ is now known as Guest15212 [20:57] sixtila: debra are you ok with running the download? i'm downloading it myself to check out what it's like... apparently it can generate .deb packages for ubuntu [20:57] er sorry sixtila typo above [20:57] I installed the latest kernel and that has destabilzied my system. how do I yank it out? [20:57] i'm downloading it too, got a 6 minute ETA [20:57] or at the very least stop using it [20:58] I really need someone's help with this [20:58] White_Pelican: boot the older one? [20:58] daftykins, I'm downloading to the desktop.. I'm not sure how to install yet [20:58] ok no problem let me know once you've got it [20:58] how can change grub to move the new one down in the list or like I said, remove the offending kernel? [20:59] White_Pelican: in a terminal if you ran "uname -r" you'll get the version number that corresponds to the running kernel [20:59] you can also check with what it's called in /boot [20:59] Cuddles: Are you running a server? [20:59] White_Pelican: dpkg -l | grep linux-image [20:59] White_Pelican: what i do is run "sudo apt-get remove linux-image-`uname -r`" [20:59] ActionParsnip: I'm still not entierly sure about which *driver* is beeing used by X. I have to gfx chips you see. one intel and one ati and i don't know which is currently being used. I Think it's the intel one though. the output of lshwd -C display is here: http://pastebin.com/f6a79b4a3 [20:59] White_Pelican: you can then remove the unwanted kernel [20:59] * k4rt33k figured out the answer to the question /me asked [20:59] hello, can someone tell me what is the latest kernel version in use in karmic? [20:59] No, I have one running Ubuntu 8.10 LTS [21:00] hak5fan: read line 23 [21:00] hak5fan: /var/log/Xorg.0.log [21:00] Cuddles: You mean 8.04? [21:00] 2.6.31-17 i think mercutio32 [21:00] Cuddles: Or 6.10? [21:00] Jordan_U: lshw tells you drivers too, easier than reading the log ;) [21:00] derp it was 8.04 [21:00] daftykins: thanks [21:01] ActionParsnip, how exactly do i remove it? I just listed them [21:01] * brianherman thinks cuddles is not running a server and has nothing to worry about [21:01] does ubuntu use ext2 or ext3? [21:01] ejsejs: ext3 or ext4 [21:01] ext4 in 9.10 karmic as default [21:01] I have a file server [21:01] but its pretty limited [21:02] Cuddles: Do you have anything worth stealing? [21:02] ActionParsnip: That's what i thought too... hmm it seems that my lappy switched gfx chip when i rebooted... now i need a way to control the switching........ [21:02] So I shouldnt have to worry about infecting my other partitions [21:02] no [21:02] acicula, if I want to see my ubuntu partition from vista [21:02] hak5fan: nice nick [21:02] How can I get my microphone to work with flash? [21:02] where i can chage da default audio drivers os sistem [21:02] of sistem [21:02] as long as I dont try to run an infected file [21:02] ejsejs: there are drivers for ext2/3 not for 4 that work under windows [21:02] do I use this? http://www.fs-driver.org/ acicula [21:03] blakkheim: Thanks [21:03] hak5fan: you can create an xorg.conf file and you can set the driver so HAL doesnt do stupid things [21:03] Can some Operating Systems have more than one kernal avaliable to operate under? [21:04] probably, but it's not normal. [21:04] hey everyone, I don't have time to put together a BrainStorm idea, but we should really make a "pastebin" command-line utility. Would be insanely useful :) [21:04] daftykins, how do i make sure that the system won't try to reinstall the kernel I want to delete? [21:04] Aled: i.e. Linux, you can have multiple kernels installed, but only one ever runs at a time (unless you take Xen into account) [21:04] Migi32: wgetpaste [21:04] Aled: yes but not at the same time [21:04] For BSD, the same thing applies. [21:04] Migi32: install pastebinit [21:04] anyone here using solid state hd on their laptop? [21:05] git__: i do [21:05] oh, ok :) [21:05] sorry [21:05] So If I dump the files off the backup drive into a folder I made in Ubuntu I shouldnt have to worry about anything unless I try to run the files? [21:05] White_Pelican: no idea on that part i'm afraid, i'd consider identifying what breaks with the new one - but i'd start just getting the old one to work :) [21:05] I mean for instance there is a closed source Operating System called SkyOS which has a propriety kernel [21:05] blakkheim, how u like it? [21:05] Aled: ... and? [21:05] !ot | Aled [21:05] the owner changed the kernel to Linux as an experiment [21:05] Aled: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [21:05] Hi can you help me ? i have a problem i can't record games with recordmydesktop ? [21:05] git__: love it, biggest improvement i've seen in a long time [21:05] blakkheim, does ubuntu support it? [21:05] vasco [21:05] Is there a channel for Linux altogether? [21:06] git__: yes but i don't run ubuntu on it [21:06] thanks for you help, anyway [21:06] Aled: yes - ##linux [21:06] Aled: #linux [21:06] blakkheim, what ssd did u get? [21:06] Hey all, could anyone possibly help me out with a bluetooth problem? [21:06] is it possible to change the symbols used in password fields? [21:06] git__: kingston ssdnow [21:06] I have a problem i can't record games with recordmydesktop ? [21:06] Jordan_U: Jeepers, now I found a kernel that boots my system fine. Why one kernel works and another does not still eludes me, though! [21:06] blakkheim, does ur laptop have a fan? [21:06] daftykins, still downloading.. 64% done. I never seen a .run extension before [21:06] git__: yes of course [21:06] blakkheim, sux [21:07] Hey all, could anyone possibly help me out with a bluetooth problem? [21:07] debra yeah ATI and nvidia use them, they're just binaries i think [21:07] blakkheim, laptop with fan really sux, makes noise [21:07] debra: is your graphics card not identified by the Hardware Drivers applet? [21:07] git__: it's almost too quiet to hear, plus i usually have headphones on [21:07] debra: heh. Get used to it. If it's not a .deb or a .rpm, or a .tgz/tar.gz/tar.bz2, and it needs to run, often it'll be a .run. [21:07] mneptok: her laptop ATI 200M is giving choppy video performance, i was thinking installing ATI's own gfx drivers would help === mike is now known as Guest12710 [21:08] mneptok, what is the hardware drivers applet? [21:08] daftykins: and that should be done from the Hardware Drivers applet if at all possible. [21:08] debra: often, there's a bit of shell-script jammed onto the front end of a tarball which extracts the tarball and runs the right program. [21:08] blakkheim, i'm looking to get SSD for my laptop [21:08] mneptok: nothing appears there, already tried [21:08] debra: System > Administration > Hardware Drivers [21:08] Viking667, ok [21:08] when SSH'ed into a server (with terminal), is there a way I can use gedit to open a remote file on the server? [21:08] git__: i definitely would, but this is an ubuntu channel so if you have more ssd questions just pm me [21:09] goose: use vi [21:09] goose: ssh -X username@host [21:09] debra don't worry i'm familiar with it and already have instructions to double check :) [21:09] anyone use gentoo? [21:09] scorch__: i do [21:09] mneptok, no drivers coming up for it [21:09] ubuntu 9.10 I have installation problem with festival http://pastebin.ca/raw/1746012 [21:09] daftykins, ok : ) [21:09] blakkheim: I don't want to use vi, I want to use gedit :p [21:09] bkajjheim: do i need the iso file and the stage3 file to instal? [21:09] debra: be aware that if you install these drivers, you will have to re-install them manually every time there is a kernel update [21:10] how do you file bug reports from ubuntu irc? [21:10] !bug [21:10] 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 [21:10] scorch__: join #gentoo for gentoo support [21:10] Are there any browsers that can handle obex locations? I can't browse my phone's files via bluetooth [21:10] mneptok, how recent are kernel updates? [21:10] debra: usually bi-weekly [21:10] do i need the iso file and the stage3 file to install? [21:11] <^paradox^> someone tell me whether this sounds right or not. i have hardy heron 8.04 lts, i upgraded from gutsy, and i have gutsy files in my /etc/apt/sources.list . i was told because of that i may have to reinstall ubuntu. but then you guys said thats normal. am i ok? my systems not corrupt is it? [21:11] do i need the iso file and the stage3 file to install? [21:11] mneptok, UGH [21:11] sad [21:11] scorch__: this is not a channel for gentoo support, /join #gentoo (and stop repeating yourself) [21:11] hello? [21:11] mneptok, so what should I do? [21:11] debra: agreed. this is why manually installing video drivers is a last resort. [21:11] I have a problem i can't record games with recordmydesktop ? [21:11] debra: what is the issue you are trying to fix? [21:11] * triple_x Ravins win over Pats just want to kick myself.... [21:12] debra: i know "choppiness," but using what apps or codecs? [21:12] blakkheim: sorru dude, wrong text box [21:12] ^paradox^: it's ok; just change where it says gutsy to hardy; if there are third party repos check first if there _are_ hardy repos for it, probably are [21:12] it was wierd [21:12] mneptok, when trying to play video files.. mp4, I get choppy video [21:12] anyone know how to manually start/overide an acer wireless button. Its designed to look for something from windows 7 [21:12] xchat [21:12] debra: in Totem, VLC, and all video players? [21:13] mneptok, the default Movie Player and I installed medibuntu codecs [21:13] <^paradox^> VCoolio: now where do i do that? in /etct/apt/sources.list folder? [21:13] debra: sudo apt-get install vlc [21:13] I have an ubntu-server with two NICs. One is connected to a LAN, the other to the internet. It can see both, and both can see it. I have enabled forwarding, but other computers on the LAN can't seem to access the internet through it. [21:13] mneptok, ok [21:13] debra: see if VLC has better performance. [21:13] altNull: acer laptops are _HELL_ i fixed up one that would not turn on bluetooth unless the windows app was run. you can try taking the battery out and the mains, to make it forget it's been turned off, set the button to the 'on' state then boot ubuntu again, but it might be harder than that [21:13] hwo can i see the extender attributes in a file? [21:13] ^paradox^: it's a file; use "gksudo gedit" or in a terminal sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list [21:13] extended* [21:13] !ics | jMyles [21:13] jMyles: If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [21:14] !it [21:14] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese.

[21:14] just ask mate [21:14] Hilikus: you can use the shell to see all the atributes/permissions- and i recall some gnome/ubuntu tweak to enable more detailed permission/mode/settings dialog in gnome [21:15] Dr_Willis: whats the shell command? [21:15] altNull: :( yeah that'd probably do it - nothing on google for your model? i've no other ideas i'm afraid [21:15] !hardy [21:15] Ubuntu 8.04-LTS (Hardy Heron) was the eighth release of Ubuntu.

[21:16] mneptok, daftykins, downloading and installing now [21:17] cool [21:17] Hilikus: ls -la [21:17] debra: then right-click one of the video files and choose "Open with VLC" [21:17] guntbert: that only shows standard attributes === JimmyJ|zz is now known as JimmyJ [21:17] I had Ubuntu 7.10 for a long time [21:17] Just in case any of my computers broke [21:18] I could run it from Live CD to access the internet and fix them [21:18] Hi everyone! I'm thinking of trying to setup a SFTP server but how is it exactly done ? [21:18] mneptok, still choppy [21:18] Hilikus: yes - what else did you expect?

[21:18] mneptok, Nothing else but Xchat [21:18] salam to all [21:19] debra: and have you tried multiple .mp4 movies to ensure it's not bad encoding on one particular file? [21:19] Hilikus: what extended attributes? I may be thick at the moment :) [21:19] Umair: wa-salaam [21:19] mneptok, yes, they are on my "flipVideo" [21:19] mneptok: the 200M is only supported in the ATI 9.3 catalyst and i can only get that driver to generate for jaunty. not sure if those packages would cause issue [21:19] <^paradox^> i see the file in the folder sources.list [21:19] debra: ru top terminal [21:20] m here for the very first time === sean is now known as Guest67016 [21:20] debra: "flipVideo?"

[21:21] Hello, I'm trying to get ident setup. I'm not exactly sure what all I need to do though. I've tried various packages but none work. [21:21] debra: copy the file(s) to the local gard drive. [21:21] triple x, what is top terminal? [21:21] *hard [21:21] Hilikus: never heard of that - sorry [21:21] ^paradox^: use my name or I'll miss your messages; you need root permissions, so do gksudo gedit [21:21] debra: if you're trying to play high definition video over a USB 1.1 connection, it *will* be choppy as the device simply can;t transfer the data fast enough. [21:21] Arenlor: you mean an 'identd' server ? [21:22] Dr_Willis_: Yes, sorry, dropped a d.

[21:22] Arenlor: used to be some in the repos. Those things are rather obsolete these days [21:23] Arenlor: ive even seen them written in 10 lines of perl code [21:23] debra: and what MPEG-4 encoding does the camera use? h264? x264? and what audio? AAC? mp3? [21:23] can't capture from both BT headset and internal sound card. help? [21:23] Dr_Willis_: I just want to get a simple one up so that IRC servers quit complaining about it. [21:23] ^paradox^: you said it says gutsy, right? And you need hardy; I can imagine what it looks like; just leave the repo links but change gutsy to hardy [21:24] mneptok, I'm not sure.. let me try to look it up [21:24] io e marley [21:24] Anyone know the driver download and repository for an integrated graphics card chipset 865 on a dell GX270?

[21:25] Dr_Willis_: Wasn't sure if they cared. [21:25] ^paradox^: ah, right, ok, there can be repos too, in separate files; looks the same as sources.list, do the same to them [21:25] it is not a wrong password issue and i am very sure of that [21:25] <^paradox^> VCooliio: but at the top of sources.list file it says > # deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 7.10 _Gutsy Gibbon_ - Release i386 (20071016)]/ gutsy main restricted [21:25] Arenlor, Cared about what [21:25] daftykins, thank you..

[21:27] tps_: it might be your X server crashing.. that restarts it and you end up back at the login screen [21:27] I need help with xrandr.. [21:27] Tiders: yeah...

[21:28] hello all ! [21:28] infid: if you can live with that I think it works just as well for terminal apps [21:28] Tiders: I am logged into console [21:29] tps_ Could you post your Xorg.0.log? [21:29] Hi, I just installed Ubuntu 9.10 (first time ubuntu). I'm not getting any sound from speakers. I get sound when using earphones.

[21:30] <^paradox^> VCoolio: ok heres the contents http://pastebin.com/m5e7916e7 [21:30] infid: nevermind that.. it does weird things when I try it with terminal apps.. input doesn't seem to end up in the right place, for one thing [21:30] !pastebinit | tps_ [21:30] tps_: pastebinit is the command-line equivelent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit [21:30] tps_ Use nano /path/to/file unless its the path your asking about [21:30] slart ok [21:30] why would Places -> Home say "No application is registered as handling this file," and how would I rectify this? [21:31] hello, can anyone help me with my cd-rom issue? sometimes the cd-rom will not mount the cd/dvd in it and in that case I cannot EJECT the cd rom without restarting my computer (the eject button will not work until a restart). I understand ubuntu "locks" the cd-rom when something is using it but it's really annoying to have to reboot just to eject cd. Any way to go around this? Any way to make the eject button overrride the lock and just unm [21:31] ount/eject cd-rom? Thanks! [21:31] h00k sounds like directories need to be associated with nautilus [21:31] or is it just home? [21:31] mleger: what happens if you run "eject" from a terminal? [21:31] infid: that much I got, 1) why did this change 2) how to rectify it. heh. [21:31] Slart: nothing, it will still not eject [21:32] less so much on 1) and more on 2) [21:33] mleger: have you tried using the eject -i option? [21:33] tps_ did you pastebin it yet [21:33] h00k can you right click on home from nautlius and click properties 'open with' [21:33] i cannot connect to some wireless networks after resuming from hibernate - anyone know how to fix? [21:33] tps_ apt-get install pastebinit and then run /var/log/Xorg.0.log | pastebinit [21:34] Tiders: can yo please hold on a min... i dont know why, but it seems the internet connection is lost from the computer as well [21:34] <^paradox^> VCoolio: u can tell ill never be a command line expert? i use linux simply because its never slow and just works [21:34] ^paradox^: it has already hardy almost everywhere, just not in lines 40/41 and 47/48, but those also have a # so not used at the moment. Not to worry then. [21:34] h00k: you need to h00k if what infid just said doesn't work, open nautilus and highlight your home folder, either /home itself or your username inside /home and then click file -> open with other application, then type in 'nautilus' for the 'use a custom command' bit at the bottom [21:35] infid: oddly, that did work. I can open nautilus from gnome-do and then right-clicked, -> open with nautilus [21:35] daftykins: yeah, that worked. [21:35] =] [21:35] cool [21:35] I wonder why it broke in the first place. [21:35] <^paradox^> VCoolio: i dont need to do anything? [21:35] ^paradox^: it's your call, if you're just a content end user let others who like it mess with the terminal (like me) [21:35] h00k: i used to see that a lot on people doing upgrades, or randomly sometimes it'd just happen of a new startup [21:35] mleger: this might come in handy as well http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-109480.html [21:35] used to get tonnes come in here with the exact same problem [21:35] Slart: looking at the man I see I need to use it with the 0 to disable to lock. I get the following error: ioctl on CDROM_LOCKDOOR: Device or resource busy [21:35] when I type lspci one of my network cards shows up as this "00:07.0 Bridge: nVidia Corporation MCP61 Ethernet (rev a2) [21:35] " Does anyone know what it means by Bridge? [21:35] <^paradox^> VCoolio: im the only one who uses this computer [21:36] ^paradox^: just check the files in the .d folder you mentioned; they should also mention hardy in the repo lines, like the last one in sources.list [21:36] daftykins: yeah, I haven't upgraded this, it was a clean install of 64bit [21:36] mleger: yes, 0 or "off" should unlock it.. have you tried running a lsof to see what process is keeping files open on the cd? [21:36] ah right, ah well, gotta have some mystery in our lives :) [21:36] <^paradox^> VCoolio: they all do except for the files that are named gutsy [21:36] myster computer science 3000 [21:37] Slart: How can I run lsof to see just what is pertnent to the cd? [21:37] ^paradox^: ubuntu tries to be user-friendly and make terminal not necessary, but for problem solvers like here in irc it's easier to give commands then describe where to click [21:37] mleger: check the link.. it's explained there [21:37] ^paradox^: example? [21:37] hello all [21:37] jerico_: its part of the pci so my guess is its a bridge device to the bus (my guess( [21:37] <_Mike_T> mleger: near the bottom [21:38] Slart: fuser -m might be useful too for mleger [21:39] Does anyone have any idea how I can get my graphics card to work properly. That is find the proper drivers for ubuntu? [21:39] ActionParsnip: I have two NIC's in this server but after I installed Ubuntu Server it only has eth0 in my interface file. Does that mean eth1 isn't working? [21:39] jerico_: check to see if it's turned on in BIOS [21:39] jerico_: i'd say so yes [21:39] <^paradox^> VCoolio: yes i can understand that. the files with gutsy in the title are gutsy-partner.list.distUpgrade , gutsy-partner.list.save , gutsy-partner.list [21:39] It's enabled in BIOS [21:39] jerico_: make sure it is enable and if it is then you may need some driver or config [21:40] guntbert: oh.. never seen that before? let me have a look [21:40] How would I see if it is enabled? [21:40] usplash corrupts my text console video mode after resuming from hibernate - is there a way to disable usplash without getting rid of the ubuntu-desktop metapackage [21:40] jerico_: "lspci -v" "ifconfig -a" [21:40] guntbert: nice.. I'll have to remember that one.

[21:41] Slart: Sorry I'm still confused, can you help? How do I know what is the name of my cd-rom device? [21:41] does anybody want to help me. i have just installed ubuntu. im trying to get my cpu fan slower, but i dont get it [21:42] fatih: is it a desktop or laptop?

Still no luck using eject or eject -i0. Any other ideas? sorry for the trouble!

[21:46] slart nah i'm just writing an example on how 'sudo !!' works [21:46] <^paradox^> VCoolio: did u happen to see any of the problem i was having with totem? if so do you think i can expect any problems from other media players? === brianherman_ is now known as brianherman [21:46] hm. Where's the normal font in console mode set? I've checked /etc/default/console-setup, and it appears to be correct, but it's not. [21:46] infid: ah.. ok [21:46] Slart: I did. But maybe I'm confused. I did kill xxxx (job id) and then running fuser -m /dev/cdrom returns the same job id [21:46] slart that's good to know anyway though i didnt know that :) [21:46] ActionParsnip, i dont know. how can i look which version it is? [21:47] Okay, so once you put it in the pastebin website how do I get it here? [21:47] mleger, did you do kill -9? if so, then the job may be unkillable (hung up in driver land) [21:47] ^paradox^: missed that; try vlc [21:47] mleger: did you kill -9 it? [21:47] mleger: kill by default only uses a mildly pleasant "would you please shut down, if it's not too much trouble.. if you've got the time"-signal.. ie signal 15 iirc... try a kill -9 instead.. that's the "shut up and die!" signal =) [21:47] sync3times: gah. You beat me... waahhh. [21:47] jerico_: you paste the pastebin link [21:47] :) [21:47] Slart: no, actually - -9 is You're GONEburger! [21:47] does sendmail need to be installed along with postfix? [21:48] i.e. not even a "shut up and ..." [21:48] djuggler: huh? No? [21:48] Viking667: hehe.. [21:48] Viking667 really? sudo kill -9 1 doesn't kill init [21:48] askreet_away: I did find the problem. I hade to login to the computer having ssh server as the user locally and then I could connect to that user account using ssh from my laptop. Why did I have to login locally as user to be able to connect via ssh remote to that user account? I thought that I didnät have to do that? [21:48] fatih: sudo lshw | head -n 25 should give line showing the firmware version in the board (aka bios) [21:48] joshua__: that's because init is specially protected. [21:48] joshua__, really? [21:48] daftykins: gotcha. thanks [21:48] Who can help me with an old PC ? [21:48] I'm not trying THAT on a live system however. [21:48] I installed ubuntu from the mini cd but at the gdm login screen, there is no option to login to another pc using XDMCP. What should I install? [21:49] yurka: firebomb, concrete, or the Hudson? [21:49] Xeslana: ubuntu 9.04 instead [21:49] Xeslana: or kdm instead of gdm [21:49] fatih: you can also try fancontrol to see if it works [21:49] sync3times: why do you think I dared to post it here w/o a danger warning [21:49] Slart: sorry I did kill -9 and the job it killed was actually eject. Then I ran eject -i0 and got a message CD-Drive may be ejected with device button. Then I hit the eject button on device and still no luck! Could the cd-rom be corrupted? [21:49] xdmcp, wow, there is a blast from the past [21:49] Viking667: hmm.. time for the vm perhaps.. tempting to try that one =) [21:49] <^paradox^> VCoolio: i have it. it was simply i left clicked to open a song or video totem disappears and when i tried to change by right clicking selecting properties folder disappears and desktop flashes and home folder came up. removing totem stopped all that [21:49] joshua__: lol! Yeah [21:49] maco: It's no longer available for gnome on 9.10? [21:49] Xeslana: the xdmcp part of gdm was not rewritten yet in gnome's gdm rewrite [21:49] Slart: heh. [21:49] oh [21:49] Slart: here's a challenge for you. (inside a VM, of course) [21:50] Viking667: I didn't think so. I'm troubleshooting the relay issue at this point. Server behind comcast model blah blah [21:50] p5q turbo. bios is 0303 (03/11/2009) [21:50] Slart: mv /lib /lob; exit [21:50] <^paradox^> VCoolio: i just hope it doesnt eventually happen with mplayer and vlc [21:50] now, log in again. [21:50] maco: okay I'll go back to 9.04. Thanks for the info. :) [21:50] Is there a GUI tool for configuring a DHCP server? I tried using the command line but it just says FAIL when I try to start the DHCP server [21:50] Viking667: why that? [21:50] mleger: ahh.. try doing "fuser -m /dev/dvd" as well.. it usually points to the same device as /dev/cdrom .. but it might be worth it to have a look [21:50] jerico_: then you should try to figure out why it's failing [21:50] joshua__: sorry, lost track. Why ..what? [21:50] the mv /lib/lob [21:50] Well. It tells me to look at syslog but there isn't anything about it failing [21:51] ActionParsnip, p5q turbo. bios is 0303 (03/11/2009) [21:51] I would like a Master Volume slider next to the time on Xubuntu [21:51] fatih: looks like it also benefits from the boot option: irqpoll all_generic_ide [21:51] ah. You'll see. [21:51] brb [21:51] How would I get hold of one? [21:51] I need help with installing ubuntu minimal cd to usb. [21:51] Slart: Yea it points to the same device. No jobs are holding it up [21:51] fatih: ok then check thats the newest [21:51] Viking667: just to see how long it lives? I think I'll look into setting a disk to read only before I try any of that.. but lets not throw around any more system killing commands in the channel.. someone might just type them in [21:51] I tried using the minimal cd and I get boot loader errors. [21:51] joshua__: don't try that on your machine [21:51] ActionParsnip, irc poll all_ge..?? [21:51] ^paradox^: it's the fun with linux: you always have alternatives; if you run into serious issues try a fresh install; if you have a separate /home partition that is, or you'll have to backup [21:51] I've never had one before, but I'm curious: Is it possible to log into Ubuntu using a Yubikey? [21:52] I have installed ubuntu 9.10 on a flash drive and it boots fine on my computer but when I boot it on my Dell laptop I see the initial logo and then hear a boot up sound but the screen remains black. Any ideas of what I might do? [21:52] Slart: actually, your challenge is to recover from that command, without logging into a rescue disk to do so. [21:52] err, recover from the effects of that command. [21:52] RubbberDucky: try runnin in 1 [21:52] fatih: http://linuxrevolution.blogspot.com/2008/09/ubuntu-and-asus-p5q-e-motherboard.html [21:52] I know how to recover [21:52] fatih: make sure the bios is the newest too [21:53] joshua__: you SURE? [21:53] yes [21:53] Viking667: Easy [21:53] joshua__: I did say _without_ using a rescue disc. [21:53] I know [21:53] I'm actually on Xubuntu [21:53] woops [21:53] i.e. you have to use the system as it stands. [21:53] Viking667: please stop baiting people [21:53] I would like a Master Volume slider next to the time on Xubuntu [21:53] I have to warm boot [21:53] What is the application called that if u hit a certain hotkey u get a search window centered, where you can enter an appname or website etc? [21:54] In 1? What's that mean! [21:54] fatih: add: irqpoll all_generic_ide as a boot option and it may help stuff [21:54] I'm not actually baiting. This is fairly valid system recovery. I've had it done to me. [21:54] Viking667: Reboot replacing "root=UUID=..." with "root=bogus" will drop you to an initramfs shell, and you can fix things from there [21:54] mleger: hmm.. then I don't really know what to try... I'm not sure if lsof can find stuff that fuser -m doesn't.. I'm not entirely sure about the syntax for lsof either... you could try "lsof | grep -i cdrom" and see what you find.. it might take a while though (still less then a minute) [21:54] Jordan_U: ah, but that classifies as a rescue disc. [21:54] It's a nice touch though. [21:54] I don't need the rescue disk not even that one [21:54] I'll have to remember that one [21:54] <^paradox^> VCoolio: would you say at this point thingsll probably go smoothly. i dont wanna reinstall unless i absolutely have to. ive been in here a few times to fix problems over two years. i dont wanna do all that again [21:54] Viking667: hmm.. I think I'll give that a try tomorrow.. I've got some time (and a vm) to kill =) [21:54] joshua__: anyhow, I think we'd better take this somewhere else === pauljw_vm is now known as pauljw [21:55] hello [21:55] It seems like most ubuntu forum threads end without a solution. [21:56] Anybody know how to get rid of the last gnome-panel without it comming back? Found an answer for Intrepid, but Karmic no longer has the "sessions" menu... [21:56] ActionParsnip, sry, but i have installed ubuntu 2 hours ago and i dont know how to add boot options [21:56] ^paradox^: if it ain't broke don't fix it [21:56] by the way, I meant "logout" as in "log the user out", not reboot. [21:56] in the grub menu show to kernels .17 and .14 how can i show only the new one, the startup manager program dont have the 'Show only one kernel' [21:57] Joeseph: Isn't the gnome panel somehow required? I might be wrong though... I guess it restarts if you just do a "pkill gnome-panel" [21:57] cvd: its wise to have two kernels to choose from [21:57] joshua__: System > Preferences > Startup Applications is the session menu renamed [21:57] ok, guntbert [21:57] Slart: Yeah, it restarts. [21:58] <^paradox^> first i had to setup java in firefox, then down the road had to add sources for pidgin to actually update, then later had to do the same for transmission, then i had to add a backend for totem so it could months later go haywire [21:58] cvd: because it is always possible that a new kernel will not boot ... [21:58] Jordan_U: Okay, but it doesn't have the options that I need to tell it to not come back [21:58] Slart: Hey still nothing. Maybe my cdrom is bad or it could be a bug. I'll try it again in 6 months or so :) Thanks for the help anyway... [21:59] I need help with installing ubuntu minimal cd to usb.

Okay... I know a command that'll get the panel back to defaults, so I'm not too worried about that... I'll do some more searching [22:02] Any flash stuff in Firefox is just giving me a white screen [22:02] to append to a file, it's "blah >> file", right?

[22:04] Oh... can't use Alt-F2 if I delete the gnome panel.... I guess I'll just keep it autohide for now.... [22:04] <^paradox^> ardchoille: and finally i dont doubt your skills at all. its not that. i simply dont wanna do a reinstall unless i must. this computer helps me with very important things to do with my disablity case and getting information on other sources. i just need it to work [22:04] no [22:04] How can i make a working backup of my fresh install so i can later use it as a restore point? is there any kind of program for this, or is it done manually, like with the windows restore points or something [22:04] I'll try a reinstall [22:04] how do I uninstall them?

I've google my ass off and can't find any suggestions [22:12] i have ubuntu 9.10 and lm_sensors 3.1 installed. when i do the command pwmconfig [22:12] ok which one is that? [22:12] there is the error "There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed" [22:12] hi all! hey 1 question, is there any way to load a manpage in other lang without changing environment vars? Something like man --lang=french ls [22:13] hi. i have a samsung cell phone. how can i use it via usb on ubuntu? [22:13] Slart: After reading that comment, I guess I'll just do 'autohide' and then use the buttons to hide it... That way, it takes up the least space. [22:13] when i do lsusb i get: Bus 004 Device 003: ID 04e8:6601 Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd Z100 Mobile Phone [22:13] Izinucs, it's the udev.d directory [22:13] my print jobs sent from ubuntu via the network to a USB windows-shared printer stop at 256K out of whatever the job size is (when examined in the print queue on the windows box). can anyone assist?

[22:13] mengu: do sudo fdisk -l [22:13] look at what type of partition you have [22:14] and then simply mount it [22:14] Slart: Yeah. I was just trying to save on system resources, but I guess Gnome-panel doesn't use that much. [22:14] izinucs: which one is the non free [22:14] the program lm_sensors 3.1 works, it finds my sensors, tells the voltages and fan speed, but the command "pwmconfig" does not work. it comes the error "There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed" [22:14] mkanyicy: i'd like to get my pictures [22:14] fatih: what model sensors do you have? (what modules do they use?) [22:14] how many phones come up as usb mass storage? I've only ever found one, every other phone requires propriatory software to do anything at all. [22:15] obiwan_: you could set the LANG var befor running the man command, LANG=en man echo [22:15] obiwan_: or somnthing like that [22:15] zcat[1]: I've got one. Alcatel One Touch 708 [22:15] is there at tool to automatically email your IP (every time you reboot or it changes) [22:15] obiwan_: "man man" suggests using the -L --locale= switch [22:15] obiwan_: this is the result: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/164144/ [22:15] CPU FAN Speed: 1917 RPM (min = 600 RPM) [22:15] CHASSIS1 FAN Speed:1231 RPM (min = 600 RPM) [22:15] CHASSIS2 FAN Speed:1054 RPM (min = 600 RPM) [22:15] POWER FAN Speed: [22:15] fatih: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[22:15] Viking667, yeah, my wife bought a rebranded vodafone touchscreen and I was surprised as hell when it came up in ubuntu as too external drives... [22:15] mengu, you rather have a memory card, i don't think you can succeed accessing the phone memory [22:15] reat thanx Dr_Willis & Slart ! [22:16] ok mengu reading brb [22:16] fatih: that's not what I asked. I asked what modules you have loaded for the sensors. (You may have to pastebin that at the pastebin) [22:16] zcat[1]: yup. That had a sd card in it, eh? [22:16] im jumping in mid convo here.. [22:16] i dont know what you mean with modules. 4pin?! in windows the fans where regulatet by the temp! [22:16] Dr_willis thanks - it is more than I want and somehow cumbersome setups - Joshua - that is [22:16] My one doesn't have a SD card, so only shows up with one drive [22:16] mengu, by the way, I am using a samsung phone as well [22:16] sensors-detect will tell you what modules to load [22:16] one drive is the phone's internal memory, the second the SD card.. you can access everything as a filesystem!!! [22:16] mkanyicy: i have gt-s5603 [22:17] yup. Except the default tinklytunes they have. [22:17] why is it called flashplugin-nonfree if it's free? [22:17] Aled: Because it's not free as in freedom [22:17] ALed : not open source? [22:17] free as in "free to download", but not opes source [22:17] oh [22:17] Aled: because it's not "Free Software" with a catpital F [22:17] So far, the lack of a system notification area is the worst... There's a decent plugin for AWN to replace it, but none for gnome-do. Slart. [22:17] my phone I can't even use wammu, have to plug it into a windows box and use some really crap software to get stuff in and out of it. [22:17] sry, but i have just installed ubuntu. i would really love it, if my cpu fan would not be so fuckin loud [22:17] ahh. I'm lucky with wammu. [22:18] mengu, I dont know what that means, maybe a phone model? but if you have a memory card (like an SD card) you rather migrate your pics to it, not the phone memory [22:18] mkanyicy: its my samsung phone model [22:18] fatih, your computer might not be good enough to run ubuntu, xubuntu is less resource intensive [22:18] Hey room, does these error messages give any clue as to why my system cannot be updated?http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [22:18] ops [22:18] fatih: try pwmconfig, google it, there's a howto on controlling fan speed. Then again, high fan speed could be due to a hardware cause, like poor cooling [22:18] fatih: What CPU? [22:18] peekaboo! [22:18] Aled, the pc is good enough! [22:19] Joeseph: mm.., I use cairo-dock but the system notification areas that are available are either behaving badly or just weird.. I just a small gnome-panel that auto hides [22:19] intel core 2 duo e7400 [22:19] fatih: maybe you have some dust in your case that's causing it to get hot [22:19] the_real_dave: uh, he was having trouble finding modules that fit his machine and that pwmconfig recognises [22:19] I mean http://paste.ubuntu.com/354716/ [22:19] no. no [22:19] fatih: Well, I'm just throwing out an idea, but you might want to look into CPU throttling. [22:19] trying to get an MFC scanner/printer to scan, have installed the packages from brother, scanner still doesn't show up in xsane (even as root) .. what next? [22:19] the temps are 34 for core0 and 32 for core1 [22:19] Viking667: ah ok thank you :) [22:20] also just tried stopping cups, replugging the printer and then running xsane, still no go [22:20] fatih: are you getting those temps using lm-sensors? :S [22:20] yes [22:20] :D [22:20] Hmm. I thought the fan was primarily controlled by the BIOS..strange. [22:20] I have been having trouble trying to get the light pen to work :( [22:20] nick125: can be, it is on my system. [22:20] Oh and hey Ubuntu room [22:21] only the command pwmconfig does not work. but i have a asus p5q turbo and pwm should work [22:21] fatih: what does it return? Sorry if I missed it earlier [22:21] nick125: which is a bit of a problem, because it uses resources (acpitz uses 0x295/296) that I would like to have released so the proper module (w83627hf) can load. [22:21] My Genius Mousepad aka WALTOP International Slim Tablet. The buttons on the pen still does not work. :( [22:21] but nobody seems to know anything about that. [22:21] There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed [22:21] hi!! [22:21] Even though I have tried the wizardpen [22:22] fatih: you might need to run sudo pwmconfig [22:22] It just changed the orientation of the pen [22:22] nick125, when i do that, he says There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed [22:22] how do I set up my media server as a static IP?> [22:22] Viking667: are you using wammu? how do i know which usb port the phone is using? [22:23] neezer: Are you using network manager? IF not, edit /etc/network/interfaces [22:23] it is running 9.10 [22:23] neezer: you need to edit /etc/network/interfaces [22:23] but my mainboard has pwm capable sensors. on windows they where automatically regulated by the cpu temp with the programm epu-6 from asus [22:23] nick125: what is network manager? [22:23] mengu: normally comes up as /dev/ttyACM0 [22:23] I installed the desktop, so it isn't server edition. [22:23] mengu: I watch dmesg to see the port appear when I plug the phone in. [22:24] what do I need to change in /etc/network/interfaces to do it? [22:24] neezer: Ah, so you're probably using NM. You should be able to configure a static IP in Network Manager. [22:24] hi all [22:24] fatih: cat /etc/modules should show the module used by lm-sensors [22:24] Think I'll have a another look at this wizardpen driver.... [22:24] anybody can help me? [22:24] neezer: I'll post an example of mine, just give me a sec [22:24] * Viking667 hates nm. [22:25] still, it's useful for something. [22:25] all I have in my interfaces file is: auto lo then on the next line iface lo inet loopback [22:25] neezer: ahh. Then you need to add your current eth0 interface [22:25] Viking667: Yeah, it's a pain. I wish wicd would support VPN connections. [22:25] After adding stuff to udev.conf how do I restart udev? sudo system udev restart? [22:25] wb, the_real_dave [22:25] sudo service udev restart? [22:26] sorry, logged off accidently [22:26] the_real_dave, he says # Generated by sensors-detect on Sun Jan 10 18:10:52 2010 [22:26] # Chip drivers [22:26] coretemp [22:26] six times [22:26] fatih: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:26] firefox and chrome seem very unstable [22:26] Here's my /etc/network/interfaces http://paste.ubuntu.com/354720/ [22:26] Viking667: that one worked. i used wammu and now connected to the phone. [22:27] fatih: try reducing that to just one time and rebooting, though I don't think that will help TBH [22:27] Viking667: everything's there except what i need, photos. :) [22:27] mengu: good. Have fun. I found more usefulness getting files off the phone by using the phone as a mass-storage device but that's my phone. [22:27] the_real_dave, how can i reduce that? [22:27] mengu: does your phone ask you what mode you want to set when you plug the cable into the phone? [22:27] *checking self for hidden [22:27] open it using gksudo gedit /etc/modules [22:27] Lo everyone. [22:28] my print jobs sent from ubuntu via the network to a USB windows-shared printer stop at 256K out of whatever the job size is (when examined in the print queue on the windows box). can anyone assist? [22:28] the_real_dave: can I copy paste that into mine file and change your address to mine? [22:28] i look for a good dictionary for ubuntu [22:28] I did a minimal install, how do i set up pulseaudio? [22:28] Viking667: let's give it a try. [22:28] So I'm usually a KDE user, but I've got a Dell Mini with Ubuntu on it and giving it a go for a while.# [22:28] emes: why would you WANT to? === usb is now known as usb_problem [22:28] Mine asks me "Mass storage, WebCam, COM port, " and something else I can't remember. [22:28] emes: use ALSA [22:28] oh. "USB Charger" [22:28] I think I'll need to look at ifconfig to get my netmask and network and gateway right?\ [22:28] Viking667: nope, it doesn't ask me anything :) [22:28] ah. Right. [22:28] But I used to use KAlarm to (surprise surprise) wake me up in the morning. Since it's pretty important that I wake up on time, is there a comparable Gnome applicatino? [22:28] neezer: yup you will [22:28] application* [22:29] blakkheim: ok, so i have alsa set up and only one program can use it at a time, what's wrong? [22:29] the_real_dave, ok, i have reduced it to one. now i reboot. [22:29] guys [22:29] the_madman: Maybe alarm-clock? :) [22:29] are there any alternative plugins for firefox which will operate like flash? [22:29] what desktop enviroment is this?? [22:29] http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs50/f/2009/290/c/6/10_17_2009_Desktop_Nytek_by_Muffsdawg.png [22:29] Aled: gnash [22:29] k [22:29] Aled: There are things like gnash, but they have issues. [22:29] Aled: there's only really gnash === TurbosoniC3 is now known as soniC [22:30] y [22:30] what is the loopback network interface? [22:30] lo [22:30] 127.0.0.1 [22:30] it's your machine,s own network interface, so it can talk to itself. [22:30] neezer: not quite sure tbh, but it was there by default so I left it alone [22:31] vfen: It could be KDE [22:31] swfdec >> gnash in my experience (that was more than a year ago tho) [22:31] Aled: What issues are you having with the flash plugin? Aren't you now running 64-bit? [22:31] i see. [22:31] I am running 64 bit xubuntu [22:31] Hi, I'm trying to edit my ubuntu splash screen to this http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Azenis+Usplash?content=111188 Can anyone tell me how? [22:31] http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3330 [22:31] I have flashplugin-nonfree installed, but it isn't working [22:32] when I run ifconfig i don't get anything for network. [22:32] Aled: Uninstall flashplugin-installer and flashplugin-nonfree and grab the 64-bit flash alpha from Adobe's site. Uncompress it and drop the libflashplayer.so into /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins [22:32] neezer: ifconfig -a [22:32] thanks for such a detailed description :) [22:32] nick125: hang on. Isn't he on a 32-bit machine? [22:33] No I changed to 64x [22:33] neezer: are you currently connected to your network? Try going into your router settings and finding it, the IP changes with model [22:33] ah. [22:33] nick125: I'm using the LTS, and Add/Remove didn't show it when I searched for Alarm - *searches Synaptic* [22:33] My apologies. [22:33] yes. I am. [22:33] why might my window decorations break upon login? [22:33] it should be 192.168.1.something... [22:33] I'll take a look. [22:33] blakkheim: any ideas? [22:33] If I set up an xorg.conf on 9.10, where one does not exist now, should I expect any sections I create that don't address items configured in GCONF to null those items? [22:33] Aled: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/64bit.html [22:33] neezer: then sudo ifconfig -a should show it [22:34] the_real_dave, it doesnt work :S [22:34] thanks [22:34] * Viking667 ducks away [22:34] It's not there... o.o' [22:34] I want an icon for a new launcher i'm making for gnome panel. Do the icon images need to be SVGs? [22:34] Aled: That works a lot better than the version in the repos. The version in the repos uses nspluginwrapper, while what I linked is a native 64-bit version. [22:35] Shazam: they can be png. [22:35] OK, got scanner working (brscan3 package, I had installed brscan2, D'Oh!) [22:35] fatih: no didn't really think it would :( Sorry mate, but you need to find the right modules, must be controlled by a different one or something. Heavy Googling I'd say [22:35] on my router I have an IP address as 192.168.1.1....is that it...that is what I use to get to the router. [22:35] Dr_Willis: thanks, doc [22:35] yes [22:35] now, how to do multipage scan in xsane using document feeder, it only scans the first page then feeds the rest through without scanning [22:36] neezer: if that's what you got to get to your router than yes, that is your gateway [22:36] nick125, I don't have permissions to transfer the file to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ [22:36] Aled: Do it in a console. sudo cp /path/to/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins [22:36] the_real_dave: that is my gateway?? then what is my network....sudo ifconfig -a didn't do anything. [22:36] k [22:36] the_real_dave, ive been googling for about 5 hours .. after 2 hours the command sensors worked. but i dont get the fucking pwmconfig command to work. fuck i dont want to use windows anymore [22:36] How do I make inactive titlebars brown as well? [22:36] As the active windows [22:37] Does anybod know that? [22:37] I cannot install the 2.6.31-17 kernel [22:37] x_link: some themes/window decorator/widgits let you chage3 the colors [22:37] how can i check if a device was mounter as read only or rw from bash? [22:37] mounted* [22:37] neezer: yup that's your gateway. Your network should be 192.168.1.0, your netmask 255.255.255.0, just like the example I sent you. [22:37] Hilikus: « mount » [22:38] Aled: Once you do that, restart firefox and open up about:plugins. You should see an entry for Shockwave Flash with a filename of "libflashplayer.so". If it's something like "npwrapped.flashplayer.so", you still need to remove the flash plugin from the repos. [22:38] great! and then my gateway is 192.168.1.1 [22:38] zcat[1]: I use scanimage for multiple pages [22:38] Hilikus: check the mount command output [22:38] faith: sorry mate, but I can't help you, I've a similar problem after an upgrade to Karmic :( Its headwreckng [22:38] what is the significance of the network?? 192.168.1.0? [22:38] *headwrecking [22:38] Hi, I'm trying to edit my ubuntu splash screen to this http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Azenis+Usplash?content=111188 Can anyone tell me how? [22:38] ok [22:38] neezer: it would appear so ya :) [22:38] Dr_Willis: Okey [22:38] thanks [22:39] the_madman: Do you have the universe repo enabled? [22:39] how do I restart my network? so that the changes get applied? [22:39] why might my window decorations break upon login? I have to go to System -> Appearance -> and re-check the second box to get window decorations back. [22:39] is there an init.d file? [22:39] neezer: sudo service network restart [22:39] neezer: yes, "networking" [22:39] neezer: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [22:39] nick125, it's libflashplayer.so [22:39] er, networking [22:39] Aled: Does Flash work now? [22:40] yes [22:40] thanks [22:40] Aled: great. [22:40] nick125, hello again ^^, i still haven't resolved my problem about reverse proxy thumbs, i have a stream that does work here aldready -> http://paissad.homelinux.com:18000/mpd.ogg <-- but i don't want to enter the port number on the clien web browsers or audio clients like vlc, .... in other word, i want to just enter paissad-radio.homelinux.com and gets the stream [22:41] why might my window decorations break upon login? I have to go to System -> Appearance -> and re-check the second box to get window decorations back. [22:41] thanks for all the help! [22:41] Dr_Willis: Can't change the color of the windowborder [22:42] looks like it took...I was away from home for 2 weeks and couldn't ssh into my machine.....turns out it was being assigned .101 instead of .105 [22:42] neezer: no prob :) can I ask though why your using a desktop version on a serveR? [22:42] *server [22:42] I'm not that good with command line yet... [22:42] in karmic, where can i change so that i see the script running during bootup - and not the graphics? [22:43] paissad: Okay. Here's what I would try...Add this to your apache config...hold on [22:43] I'm working on it, and I like doing things with it. [22:43] hello. i just installed 9.10 64 bit. i have smb mounted shares. when i shutdon, it hangs with errors like "CIFS VFS: no response for cmd ## mid ###" [22:43] neezer: its a lot easier than it appears :) If you can use nano your pretty much sorted, since with a server install, you'll mostly just be editing configs [22:43] i followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountWindowsSharesPermanently#System%20Hangs%20on%20Shutdown, but still it happens [22:43] and actually now that I think about it, I have a raid card that the server edition didn't recognize so it showed no hard drives for installation. but when I used the desktop it worked right away. [22:43] eccolo [22:43] FE [22:43] sal_: edit the kernel cmdline params in grub and remove "quiet splash" [22:43] so i guess there is a hardware reason. [22:44] How do i uninstall applications such as evolution mail client through apt-get? [22:44] neezer: which version was that? [22:44] the_real_dave: I do try to do all of my stuff via command line though. but just in case I can use the mouse. [22:44] 9.10 [22:44] vlt, ok. grub2 .. where? do you know [22:44] 32 bit version. [22:44] hello, i have just upgraded to Ubuntu 9.10, and now when i try to use my USB HDD it says "not authorized to mount drive" [22:44] daminkz: sudo apt-get remove [appnamehere], just be careful with it [22:44] whats the problem? [22:44] Dr_Willis: Hi! On december 11th we had a discussion because I had a tool in mind, whose name I didn't remember. Something like (g)parted. Remember ? [22:44] x_link: it depends on what theme parts you are using i belive. [22:44] what does mean: dmesg | grep it87 [22:45] ngirard_: i cant even rember what i had for breakfast tis morning.. :) [22:45] why might my window decorations break upon login? I have to go to System -> Appearance -> and re-check the second box to get window decorations back. [22:45] sal_: You can either edit grub.conf or (for only once) press "e" to edit the grub commands when booting [22:45] neezer: don't get me wrong, I love both CLI and GUI, I was just curious that's all. You should give 10.04 a shot when it comes out, maybe it'll be fixed :) [22:45] Hmm My irc client is cutting off text at the right side.. [22:45] Dr_Willis: I just wanted to let you know I found it again: it's Palimpsest [22:46] ngirard_: thats the smart monitoring tool that likes to nag me that my new HD is bad.. :) [22:46] paissad: http://paste.ubuntu.com/354727/ < add that to your virtual host config [22:46] I think for my server I'm going to just stay with what I have. I have my raid 1 array all set up with about 20GB of pictures and 70GB of music already. [22:46] I don't want to have to backup and reload all that stuff. [22:46] but my laptop I might go to 10.04 [22:46] I'm on 9.04 right now. [22:46] Dr_Willis: probably, yed. I've just learned it's also supposed to help configure soft raid, as an interface to mdadm I suppose. [22:47] Dr_Willis: anyway, cheers, and seeya ! [22:47] nick125, pastebinit -i sites-enabled/000-default [22:47] http://pastebin.com/f7230c5c3 [22:47] neezer: fair enough, to each his own :) === cpg is now known as cpg|brb [22:47] nick125, i may have mistaken somewhere in my conf [22:47] yep. Thanks a lot for the help. I really appreciate it. [22:48] I'm hoping that 10.04 has better support for my HP laptop audio. [22:48] How do I enable root login with ssh ? [22:48] paissad: I would change the paissad.homelinux.com:18000 part to localhost:18000 [22:48] I have had a tough time with it in 9.04, and 9.10 live CD isn't much better. [22:48] neezer: no worries, I needed help when I was setting up mine :) [22:48] nick125, ok, i do it [22:48] donner: why, that's usually a bad idea [22:48] donner: You don't. [22:48] I am restarting right now to make sure that the changes stay put.... [22:48] Hi room. Can someone point me in the right direction? I can't update the system. It seems ubuntu is trying to add the new kernel to the swap partition (/dev/sda2): http://paste.ubuntu.com/354728/ [22:49] donner: Set a passwd or (better) copy a pub ssh key to /root/.ssh/authorized_keys [22:49] may anyone help me please? [22:49] what is it87????? [22:49] why might my window decorations break upon login? I have to go to System -> Appearance -> and re-check the second box to get window decorations back. [22:49] elhoir: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) [22:49] tnx [22:49] i will try now [22:49] jrib: i did :-/ [22:50] jrib: the thing is that i have just upgraded to 9.10, and now i want to use my USB HDD ... and when i plug it, Ubuntu says "im not authorized" to mount it... [22:50] elhoir: just repeat it after waiting, saying "help me" gives us no idea what you need help with [22:50] i need help setting up vnc for use over a 3G (nonlocal) connection [22:51] donner: Can you explain why ssh root login is a bad idea? [22:51] elhoir: is it mounted? Check with « mount » [22:51] nick125, like this ? http://pastebin.com/f19f50079 [22:51] elhoir, what is the type of filesystem in your usb HDD? [22:51] Hi all. I previously installed Ubuntu 9.04 on an LVM-on-LUKS encrypted partition. I'd now like to reinstall Ubuntu 9.10 from the standard installation CD onto the same encrypted partition. I found these instructions: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbiquityEncryptedFilesystems. Has this worked for others? Any warning before I jump into the rabbit hole? [22:52] donner: there's no need to ssh as root. What are you actually trying to accomplish? [22:52] elhoir, is it fat32, ntfs, ext3 or what? [22:52] jrib: nope , it is not mounted [22:52] paissad: yeah [22:52] mkanyicy: ntfs [22:52] CountDown: the desktop cd does not support LVM at all [22:52] CountDown: you need an alternate cd [22:52] If I create an xorg.conf on 9.10 and define a Module section to address one module, does this override whats defined in Gconf as being my ONLY module settings? [22:52] It's cool. [22:52] Hi, I'm trying to edit my ubuntu splash screen to this http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Azenis+Usplash?content=111188 Can anyone tell me how? [22:52] Problem solved: use my phone :P [22:52] CountDown: you're referencing ecryptfs, which encrypts folders, not partitions [22:52] Well, never mind then. I'll figure something out later. [22:52] Bye everyone. [22:53] elhoir, insert it and then pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l" and that "df -h" in the meanwhile tell me how much is its size [22:53] vlt, found it. in grub2 there is no grub.conf .. grub.cfg is generated. i can edit /etc/default/grub, then update-grub. .. so i just delete out the "quiet splash" part? [22:53] maco: Ah, good to know. Thanks. I'll switch to the alterate CD. [22:53] apache2ctl -S 2>&1 | pastebinit - [22:53] http://pastebin.com/f3c216435 [22:53] nick125, [22:53] maco: I remember now that's what I used the first time as well. [22:54] mkanyicy: 400 GB [22:54] paissad: Those look like warnings [22:54] sal_: You don't need to run update-grub, just edit grub.cfg and remove "quiet splash" [22:55] can anyone explain why I'm only getting 14-20MB/s when transferring files to my external HDD over firewire when I could potentially be getting nearly 50? [22:55] hmm if you edit grub.cfg - next time update-grub runs you will lose the changes [22:55] mkanyicy: http://pastebin.com/m19e589d0 [22:55] vlt, ok. but this is only permanent until grub or kernel gets updated? then i would have to do it again? i would like to make this stick [22:55] sal_: the proper thing to edit is /etc/default/grub - and rerun update-grub yes. [22:55] Dr_Willis, thx [22:55] sal_: or /etc/grub.d/stuff [22:55] !grub2 [22:55] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [22:56] Spasysheep: slow disk, overhead, slow firewire? [22:56] elhoir, ok I see that, now paste the one for "df -h" please [22:56] mkanyicy: http://pastebin.com/m4c85e856 [22:56] nick125, but now paissad-radio.homelinux.com returns me IT WORKS, like if i entered http://localhost ^^ [22:56] elhoir, ok thx [22:56] i have two ubnutu boxes both connected to the net and their time is off by about a minute [22:56] sal_: Sorry, I didn't know that there's /etc/default/grub now too, Dr_Willis may be right. [22:56] where does it timesync to? [22:56] Spasysheep: something else accessing it? Try find the reading speed with sudo hdparm -Tt /dev/whatever [22:56] paissad: Try stripping the www. off of paissad-radio.homelinux.com [22:56] acicula: do you know of a way to test where the bottleneck is? I've tried googling, just got a load of people complainin about slow usb transfers [22:56] nick125, i did [22:57] vlt, ok. thanks. i'll just try it - you got me in the right direction .. [22:57] paissad: Still nothing? Hmm. [22:57] isnt there another possibility to control the fans speeds withoug lm_sensors???? [22:57] Spasysheep: why do you think it should be 50mb/s [22:57] the_real_dave: kkty shall try that when current (144gb) transfer is done [22:58] fatih_: depends on the pc/motherboard/chipset - some laptops have special tools to controll them [22:58] elhoir, run this command "mkdir ~/Desktop/ntfs && sudo mount /dev/sdb1 ~/Desktop/ntfs -o rw,umask=0000" and then pastebin "df -h" again [22:58] Spasysheep: cool, let us know [22:58] nick125, what do you get on your web browser when you enter http://paissad-radio.homelinux.com ? [22:58] paissad: same thing as you. [22:59] Dr_Willis, i have an asus p5q turbo, intel core 2 duo e7400 and nvidia gt250. is the another possbility for me? [22:59] nick125, it works sentence then ! [22:59] can i expect any trouble with hfs+ (no jurnaling, yes case sensitive) usb drives in jaunty? [22:59] paissad: You _might_ need to add a statement somewhere [22:59] acicula: well the theoretical maximum for firewire 800 is 49.(7?), and I see no reason why it shouldn't al least be approaching that, as it is I'm getting significantly less than half that (I know it's impossible for anything to ever actually reach the theoretical maximum [22:59] p.s. formated on snow leopard [23:00] mkanyicy: http://pastebin.com/m3f67d720 [23:00] Spasysheep: are you sure that's bytes not bits? [23:00] brontosaurusrex: why would you format a usb drive as that [23:00] how do I update ubuntu 8.10 to 9.04 from the command line? [23:00] mkanyicy: "recurso temporalmente no disponible" == "temporarily not available resource" [23:00] everything I can find online says the gui version... [23:00] paissad: As in, add a \nOrder deny,allow\nAllow from All\n (pressing enter where th \n is) [23:00] quentusrex: aptitude update ; aptitude dist-upgrade [23:00] Dr_Willis, i have an asus p5q turbo, intel core 2 duo e7400 and nvidia gt250. is there another possbility for me? [23:01] blakkheim: to get over 4 giga limit and not use ntfs? [23:01] my second trouble seems to be improper shutdown .. it seems maybe the monitor does not turn off ?? the screen just fades away pixelized but never turns off, machine never shuts off .. any ideas? [23:01] quentusrex, what's wrong with the GUI? [23:01] brontosaurusrex: you can do that without using HFS+ :P [23:01] blakkheim: how? [23:01] Aled, I have ssh access to a server [23:01] it isn't a desktop machine [23:01] "sudo update" not work? [23:01] i have to hard powerw off everytime i want to shutdown .. [23:01] Spasysheep: It depends on the external HD chipset, the hard drive itself, overhead, etc. It's very unlikely that you'll get 50MB/s. [23:01] brontosaurusrex: almost any linux filesystem [23:01] or is that just for desktops [23:01] elhoir, paste the output of "sudo grep -i sdb1 /etc/mtab" [23:01] Does anyone here know how I could change my splash screen? [23:01] is memory related to boot CD? [23:01] the_real_dave: "The original release of IEEE 1394-1995[18] specified what is now known as FireWire 400. It can transfer data between devices at 100, 200, or 400 Mbit/s half-duplex data rates (the actual transfer rates are 98.304, 196.608, and 393.216 Mbit/s, i.e. 12.288, 24.576 and 49.152 megabytes per second respectively)" [23:01] quentusrex: update-manager -d ? or aptitude dist-upgrade [23:01] Is it possible to change so that "print screen" will make the files .jpg instead of .png? [23:01] blakkheim: i need mac, ubuntu and wdtv support [23:02] Spasysheep: ah ok. [23:02] brontosaurusrex: can't help you then, not a mac guy, sorry [23:02] mkanyicy: no output for that command [23:02] Spasysheep: is the drive connected directly to a firewire port on your motherboard or via a USB hub or anything? [23:02] elhoir, ok [23:02] x_link: you could take the png, then run "convert foo.png foo.jpg" [23:02] how do I initiate a memory test to see if I had any memory issues that can affect me from booting removable media. === ferri is now known as fe [23:03] Anyone know how to break SecuROM protection on Ubuntu [23:03] LinuX2half: boot a ubuntu cd and select the memory test at boot [23:03] LinuX2half: try booting a live disk and using memtest [23:03] the_real_dave: and the hdd is FW800 compatible, so there's no reason it shouldn't be able to reach the FW400 max, and it's plugged straight into the mobo's onboard port [23:03] Tiders: thats sriously offtopic [23:03] Well I can't seem to boot a CD. [23:03] LinuX2half: or usb stick? [23:04] Spasysheep: ah ok, maybe the drive is the bottleneck? [23:04] I don't have the data on the usb stick [23:04] mkanyicy: maybe some corrupted config file? [23:04] So, I'm trying to set up a network printer. I got it working on windows 7 box and then a debian machine. I'm now trying to set it up in ubuntu, using cups web interface. The problem is, when I click "find new printers" nothing comes up. What's the deal? This worked fine on the debian box. [23:04] LinuX2half: well you can make it on another machine [23:04] LinuX2half: is your BIOS set up to boot from a CD drive first? [23:04] hey guys, i'm using blkid to find the UUIDs of my drives, but /dev/sdb1 just shows blank, any ideas? [23:04] well I want to boot the CD to use Gparted [23:04] elhoir, I never encountered such an error message [23:04] alex87: does it say anything in Gparted? [23:04] Yes the boot order is setup with optical drive first [23:04] the_real_dave: maybe - hrmm... what's a good write speed for a 2.5" hdd when it's connected through sata? [23:05] the_real_dave: i'm currently just on the command line, but i can reboot [23:05] alex87: What does `vol_id /dev/sdb1` say? [23:05] How can I list drives [23:05] paissad: Any luck when you added that Proxy statement? [23:05] vlt: command not found [23:05] Tiders: `fdisk -l` for example [23:06] alex87: `/lib/udev/vol_id` maybe. live cd? [23:06] Usually when I press F2, the iso image appears on the text and boot from the dis [23:06] i think, that i have "broken BIOS defaults, disabling PWM interface" can anybody help me to enable pwm interface?? [23:06] disc [23:06] I just did sudo apt-get purge mediatomb on my laptop, and it didn't get rid of /etc/mediatomb [23:06] why not? [23:06] nick125, same pb http://pastebin.com/f5d53801a [23:06] Hi, I really like the gnome-screenshot that comes with 8.10 (ability to select area to capture) - but i have 8.04 installed here. can i upgrade just the screenshot? It looks like it's part of gnome-utils and synaptic is claiming i have the latest version [23:06] But recently I can't make it able to work like it suddenly stopped working [23:06] Could it be the drives problem [23:06] vlt: ubuntu 9.10, installed, but just on the cli, no luck with /lib/udev/vol_id [23:06] Spasysheep: SATA II is a meant to be 300Mb/s right? My main rig get's around 80Mb/s, but there 3.5 7200rpm SATA drives. It wouldn't be your bottleneck anyway I'd presume. [23:07] kymara: you could use scrot -s [23:07] I presumed that its going to be related Memory problem === Jdogwillis is now known as Rune [23:07] Like the bootstrap had some entanglement [23:07] paissad: Hmm. Can you remove the documentroot statement in the radio virtualhost? [23:07] Does anyone here know how I could change my splash screen? [23:07] blakkheim: is that an alternative utility which i should install? [23:07] elhoir, can i pm you? [23:07] Maybe it depends on how many memory I have. [23:07] maco: Okey, where "foo" is the filename I guess? === Rune is now known as Jdogwillis [23:08] oh, the dude is gone [23:08] kymara: yes, it'a screenshot utility. if you run it with -s you can select the area of the screen to screenshot :) [23:08] i think, that i have "broken BIOS defaults, disabling PWM interface" can anybody help me to enable pwm interface??? [23:08] blakkheim: ok, i'll try it out! [23:08] alex87: What does "no luck" mean? What do you expect to live on sdb1? [23:08] the_real_dave: it could be: HDD Read | Mobo Transfer | Ext. HDD Transfer | Ext. Hdd Write [23:08] Maybe I should try again [23:09] Spasysheep: theoretical throughput often is far from actual throughput, usb2 ussually tops out at 20-25 with a good drive, sd fwire400 has less bandwith then usb2.0, so [23:09] Does anyone here know how I could change my splash screen? [23:09] usplash corrupts my text console video mode after resuming from hibernate - is there a way to disable usplash without getting rid of the ubuntu-desktop metapackage? [23:09] vlt: i have my home partition on /dev/sdb1, which mounts correctly as /dev/sdb1, but i cannot get the uuid for that particular partition [23:09] x_link: yes [23:09] maco: Okey, thanks alot [23:09] acicula: well it's stabilised at 20.5MB/s ATM [23:09] alex87: partitions don't have UUIDs but file systems have. [23:10] Spasysheep: yes actually, that makes sense. I presume the source drives are SATA also? hdparm should give their speed, well, read speed at least [23:10] vlt: ah ok, there is a file system on there [23:10] alex87: What does `mount | grep /home` look likeß [23:10] Spasysheep: seems fine [23:10] ? [23:10] nick125, i've remode DocumentRoot line in radio vhost [23:10] the_real_dave: yea, source drive is sata, can't test speed atm as the file transfer is still going [23:10] the_real_dave, can you help me to enable my pwm interface in the bios? [23:10] vlt: currently it's just mounted from /dev/sdb1 [23:10] i restarted apache, bu the matter remains nick125 [23:10] I may invest in a FW800 PCI-E card... [23:11] paissad: pastebin your latest vhost config [23:11] fatih_: what BIOS type have you? [23:11] lol [23:11] blakkheim: great, thanks [23:11] how do I upgrade my BIOS? [23:11] nick125, http://pastebin.com/f332faa5f [23:11] mkanyicy: so, what would you recommend me to do? (and dont say, forget using your usb hdd in ubuntu :P ) [23:11] is it even possible? [23:11] anyone recommend a decent netbook? [23:12] acicula: Although high-speed USB 2.0 normally runs at a higher signaling rate than FireWire 400, data transfers over S400 FireWire interfaces generally outperform similar transfers over USB 2.0 interfaces. Typical USB PC-hosts rarely exceed sustained transfers of 280 Mbit/s, with 240 Mbit/s being more typical. This is likely due to USB's reliance on the host-processor to manage low-level USB protocol, whereas FireWir [23:12] e delegates the same tasks to the interface hardware (requiring less or no CPU usage). For example, the FireWire host interface supports memory-mapped devices, which allows high-level protocols to run without loading the host CPU with interrupts and buffer-copy operations. [23:12] alex87: What fs type? [23:12] vlt, filesystem [23:12] Is anyone familiar with Phoenix BIOS Setup Utility? [23:12] vlt: ext4 [23:12] oh sorry [23:12] why might my window decorations break upon login? I have to go to System -> Appearance -> and re-check the second box to get window decorations back. [23:12] elhoir, can you create a folder first and then mount sdb1 to it later? [23:12] zleap1: Thank you ;-) [23:12] vlt: it's basically the same as my root partition (/dev/sdb5), but that one gives me a UUID [23:13] Is it possible to upgrade the BIOS? [23:13] paissad: Let's try this then...on the first Virtualhost declaration, change that to [23:13] Spasysheep: so [23:13] I love installing Debian "sid" .deb packages on ubuntu. :) [23:13] nick125, ok [23:13] How about the hard drive firmware version? [23:13] How do I restart udev.. or get the system to recognize changes that I've made? [23:13] Spasysheep: just as a note, this is what hdparm reports for my server's drives, 3.5 7k2 SATA through a PCI SATA RAID card http://paste.ubuntu.com/354736/ [23:13] hi again :$ please 1 more question, how can i read installed files in a package? synaptic lets you look which files a package installed [23:13] i mean, i want to do it with apt-get [23:14] the_real_dave, i have got an asus p5q turbo. the bios version is 0303 [23:14] nick125, i restart ? [23:14] paissad: restart apache, yes [23:14] obiwan_: to install with apt-get then sudo apt-get install .. to search apt-cache search [23:14] done [23:14] alex87: I only know blkid and vol_id to analyze block devices. `vol_id` comes with package "udev". Is it installed? [23:14] how do I report a hardware problem? [23:14] LinuX2half: Call your vendor [23:14] LinuX2half: what problem? [23:15] elhoir, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1330191 [23:15] the_real_dave: well this is coming from a single, non-RAID 7K2 3.5 SATA drive connected directly to the mobo [23:15] Well, my CD/DVD drive is not working [23:15] vlt: i have blkid, but not vol_id, and udev is installed [23:15] nick125, and i still get the localhost apache message "it works" [23:15] mkanyicy: thank you so much :) [23:15] LinuX2half: you mean you can't play commercial dvd's? [23:15] paissad: I noticed that on the last pastebin, the www. is still there [23:15] obiwan_: dpkg-query -L [23:15] ServerName www.paissad-radio.homelinux.com [23:16] Acicula: so if USB2 usually caps out at 20-25, and FW400 is usually faster than USB2, it shouldn't be unreasonable to expect better than 20MB/s over FW400 [23:16] nick125, deleted now ;) [23:16] alex87: Hmmm, seems not to be included anymore ... [23:16] fatih_: there seems to be a newer version of your BIOS, maybe that would do it? Though flashing your BIOS can be harmful, and that particular one can only be done through Windows [23:16] Does anyone here know how I could change my splash screen? [23:16] Spasysheep: it depends on the drive and the chipsets involved [23:16] lzinucs: not exactly. the issue with the drive was that it won't boot from a Live CD and the BIOS setting is correctly formatted for it be booted with. [23:16] !splash | foot [23:16] foot: To change the Gnome splash screen, use gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor. [23:16] alex87: Look at /dev/disk/by-uuid [23:16] paissad: Did you restart apache? [23:17] nick125, yes [23:17] ok VCoolio , and just in case, do you know any command for apt-get? if not it's np [23:17] vlt: i jsut looked there, and my /dev/sdb1 partion isn't in the list [23:17] Spasysheep: my apologies for not being clearer, the SATA RAID card is used only to connect a SATA drive to an IDE only mobo [23:17] linxeh: well, the hardware isn't top of the range, but it's not bargain-bin either [23:17] the_real_dave, i did never do a bios flash. :S [23:17] How do I test my CD/DVD drive, to see if its working or not. [23:17] LinuX2half: some machines require that you hit F12 or ESC or some other key to get to a boot menu.. [23:17] the_real_dave: ah k [23:17] alex87: `tune2fs -l /dev/sdb1`? [23:17] LinuX2half: when you first start the computer watch the screen and it may tell you what that key is [23:18] lzinucs: Yes, the machine did go to the boot menu when I press certain keys [23:18] LinuX2half: do you have more than one cd/dvd in the machine? [23:18] obiwan_: there isn t, unless you install aptsh, run that and run , but I suppose that is the same as dpkg -L [23:18] lzinucs: it doesn't inform you what to press when you're booting from a CD [23:18] the_real_dave, as i think, my mainboard is not yet compatible with lm_sensors, because it uses ICH10R. do you really think, a bios update would help? [23:18] vlt: bingo, that shows the uuid, hopefully i can mount using it [23:19] lzinucs: what do you mean? Files or drivers? [23:19] fatih_: me neither mate so I'm not much good to you, but its just a suggestion. Try poking around your BIOS, your bound to find something. Does it recongnise your fan speeds? As for how useful a BIOS upgrade might be, I really can't say mate [23:19] LinuX2half: I never mentioned files or drivers [23:19] lzinucs:Well, I don't know what you mean by cd/dvd. [23:20] LinuX2half: do you have more than one cd/dvd drive in the machine.. ?? [23:20] ok VCoolio many thanks mate ;) [23:20] paissad: Anything in the Apache log files? [23:20] lzinucs: the computer only detects one. [23:20] what would I do if a debian machine can see a network printer but this (ubuntu) machine can't? I'm using cups web interface. [23:21] lzinucs: Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-K14 [23:21] LinuX2half: Nevermind... I didn't ask what it detects.. I can't solve this for you anyway [23:21] lzinucs: thanks anyway though [23:21] alex87: Porpably not, if it doesn't appear in /dev/disk/by-uuid ... [23:21] LinuX2half: could be a bad burn on the Live CD.. could be a bad cd/dvd drive.. [23:22] vlt: yeah... i'll give it a try anyway, thanks for your help [23:22] nick125, i thing the error commes from this warnings that seem not important when i start apache [23:22] http://pastebin.com/f1f5286dd [23:22] alex87: What about LABEL? [23:22] lzinucs: the Live CD works during this one time and the next moment it stopped working [23:22] vlt: LABEL? [23:22] alex87: Is it in /dev/disk/by-label? [23:23] How do I test my hardware to see if there's any defects? [23:23] if i install python-doc, where can i access it? [23:23] vlt: i dont't have that directory just by-id, by-path and by-uuid [23:23] vlt, what are you trying to do? [23:23] vlt: but it is in by-id [23:23] mkanyicy: okay, the command mounted my hdd, and now is acesible, but... how can i make ubuntu mount and unmount it automatically again? [23:24] LinuX2half: "memtest" for testing RAM, "stress" for the whole system, "badblocks" or "smartctl" for disks. [23:24] vlt: brb [23:24] there is also system testing under administration [23:24] hello, I'm trying to compile a wireless driver module, and the makefile requires the linux header path, the GCC path, and the LD path. Can somebody tell me how to find that information? [23:24] requires booting a livecd/stick [23:24] elhoir, it was supposed to mount it automatically, just update and upgrade your system and reboot and re-insert it and see what happens [23:25] jeeeeeeeeeezus...

[23:29] nick125, maybe the matter is localhost:18000 === adamonline45_ is now known as amad [23:29] obiwan_: subversion is a revision control system. it doesn't handle dependencies at all. it doesn't install packages at all; it manages source code. it's simply something else. [23:30] you must be confused about it. [23:30] Thijs`: Because dd is used to dump the plain data. It doesn't care for what data it is. It could be a file system or an encrypted part of a raid array or a raw database storage device ...

[23:39] rycar, it should be a meta-package, so you can remove that package without it actually removing anything else. Then, if you really want to go minimal, pick for yourself what packages you need. [23:40] nightsjammies: lots of people use k3b.

[23:40] nightsjammies: i always use the ubuntu default, but k3b is pretty much a standard so [23:40] I've never burned DVD's before. Any advice? [23:40] nightsjammies: better just ask your real questions [23:40] nightsjammies: well stick in a dvd [23:40] Rodensky: perhaps somthing like 'nautilus computer:///' [23:40] zoidfarb, I'm in the installer so it's not as much a matter of removing it as it is a matter of not adding it [23:41] Right, and am I able to make any type of menu with the dvd?

That means that it's 64 bit, right? [23:46] acicula, thanks. The wireless module I'm compiling has a compile option that says to enable it if you want to control the driver with NetworkManager.

[23:48] zoidfarb: networkmanager uses wpasupplicant under the hood [23:48] And she said that as long as it worked, she didn't care. [23:48] zoidfarb: you want networkmanager support [23:48] nightsjammies, unless you have a lot of RAM or something, you wouldn't gain much by going 64bit (and potentially actually lose some compatibility with binary apps that come in 32bit form) [23:48] h00k: perhaps install/use the fusion-icon tool. it can restart compiz if it creashes.. could be a compiz plugin crashing [23:48] nightsjammies, good deal - I have some experience in that area myself. "Trust me honey, you're going to like this better..." [23:48] Ah, okay. Thanks for answering my next question, LjL. [23:48] does anyone know what is the best site to download movies from [23:48] Dr_Willis: I suppose, I had thought of that, yeah. [23:49] !warez | david_: [23:49] david_:: piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music, and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o [23:49] Eh, at least there's no viruses :) [23:49] acicula: checked the wiki and it told me to install wl. I've tried but I'm having trouble with the ssb module [23:49] h00k: or start disabling all your compiz plugins till ya find what one is crashing it.. if any [23:49] ok [23:49] Dr_Willis: I don't use any specific special plugins, this is a relatively clean default install. [23:49] chuckmurphy1: dunno what that means [23:49] lol, guess david_ wasn;t after legit sites :-) [23:50] theres legal torrent sites. :) [23:50] if you want 50 yr old movies [23:50] Legal torrent sites? [23:50] Yes.. perfectlylegal. [23:50] Netflix [23:50] could someone help me troubleshoot my wireless? [23:50] nightsjammies, packages are all compiled for either 32- or 64-bit architecture, so you'd have to reinstall to move between the two [23:51] Is What.cd a legal torrent site? [23:51] well if its not warez related then its at least offtopic, unless its about i cant play this xyz video [23:51] Ah, okay. [23:51] chuckmurphy1, I've found most clay pigeon launchers will hurl the Linksys routers pretty well... oh, you said "trouble"shoot your wireless... [23:51] hi. help pls with burning cd. after i burnt it with imgburn or gnomebaker or any other, after inserting again it is blank [23:52] lol thanks. actually it is my wireless card. linksys router works fine. [23:52] chuckmurhpy1: whats the wireless problems? [23:52] where do I go to ask that a package be updated? [23:53] Italian_Plumber1: Here [23:53] It is a bcm4328 and I'm trying to get the wl driver working. But I can't rmmod ssb because b44 ethernet driver depends on it [23:53] really? Rtorrent? to version 086 ... [23:53] Italian_Plumber1, which version of Ubuntu are you running? [23:53] 804 server [23:54] Italian_Plumber1, have you enabled the "backports" repository? [23:54] I beleive so... lemme check [23:54] Italian_Plumber1: Are you having problems? [23:54] chuckmurphy1: remove the b44 driver first then [23:54] Italian_Plumber1, there may be more recent versions of rtorrent in there, back-ported from later versions of Ubuntu [23:54] Italian_Plumber: If it aint broke then dont fix it [23:55] acicula: I've tried. then modprobe wl but no dice [23:55] abiword is live? www.abisource.com is dead [23:55] I want to know how to use internet [23:55] Somebody referenced a shell script for sending to pastebin - can someone give me a pointer? [23:56] pasteinit? not sure [23:56] I need help please [23:56] just ask steve__ [23:56] !ask | steve__ [23:56] steve__: 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. :-) [23:56] chobbs:http://pastebin.com/m38d2cfc4 [23:57] how do I disable meta city compositing when i cant see the screen due to the vidio card [23:57] hi. help pls with burning cd. i burnt it with imgburn and gnomebaker, after inserting again it is blank [23:57] brianherman: I agree -- it works fine but I want a new feature that allows torrents to be moved to a new directory when they are done seeding. [23:57] It looks llike I do not have the backports enabled: http://pastebin.com/m4cd12ac6 [23:58] brianherman, I was looking for a command-line script that I could do something like this with: cat somefile.txt | pastebin.sh [23:58] So could someone assist me with the settings for devede? [23:58] Anyone know how to change the amount that the volume changes when I use the volume buttons on my keyboard? [23:58] hi my english no very good, but i need to know how to change something called a splash screen on my ubuntu [23:58] Italian_Plumber1, that's the first thing to try, then. Add backpots and see if you can get your newer rtorrent from there. [23:58] jucam: abiword is actively developed [23:58] can i boot in failsafe wit auto login enabled? [23:59] jucam: pushed a makjor update not to long ago iirc [23:59] Do I want the video format to be Pal/Secam, or NTSC? [23:59] funkyHat: oh, good question. I had this changed on Crunchbang/Openbox but I'm not sure how in gnome. [23:59] nightsjammies: where are you located? [23:59] nightsjammies: NTSC = US, PAL = Europe [23:59] so just enable them and update?
