zoidfarbacicula, I PM'd you some text from a readme file because I didn't want to spam the chat, I hope that's ok. (I could use pastebin if you prefer)00:00
nightsjammiesWhat about aspect ratio? 4:3?00:00

chobbsbrianherman, That's what I was after - thanks!00:01
aciculazoidfarb: pastebin is probably better00:01
aciculazoidfarb: maybe someone else knows the answer, i saw it, but dont know really00:01
* chobbs loves 'sudo !!'00:02
zoidfarbacicula, thanks, I appreciate it.00:02
Italian_Plumber1doesn't look like rtorrent was incluced in the updates: http://pastebin.com/m7dc1327d00:02
funkyHatLjL: I know it's possible to do it, I remember setting the volume step, I just can't find the option00:02
my_hazhow do i map the page-forward and page-back buttons on my keyboard? How do i find out what those keys actually are?00:02
funkyHatI've searched gconf a couple of times00:02
LjLfunkyHat, the first bug report *mentions* the relevant gconf option00:03
nightsjammiesDo I want it to Create an ISO or BIN/CUE image, create disc structure, or Only convert film files to compliant MPE files?'00:03
funkyHatLjL: oh!00:03
mercutio42I need to talk to someone that understands grub2. I suspect there's something wrong with my grunb.cfg file00:03
LjLfunkyHat: it also says it doesn't work anymore, though.00:03
chuckmurphy1acicula: would I be better off in the forum?00:03
zoidfarbItalian_Plumber1, you could see if some other repositories might have a newer version. Perhaps Mediubuntu? You can also compile a newer version from source, but that's less convenient.00:04
funkyHatLjL: great, that worked ⡈)00:04
funkyHatI am just rubbish at searching, apparently00:04
aciculachuckmurphy1: probably, or try google, afaik its a bogstandard chip with the same issue of installing it00:04
LjLfunkyHat: really ;(00:04
mercutio42more specifically where should the "set root = (hd0,x) point to??00:05
zoidfarbItalian_Plumber1, the thing is that 8.04 is pretty old at this point, and they're mostly going to do security and bug-fix updates, not feature-add updates.00:05
chuckmurphy1ok. thanks anyway00:05

acicula!lts | Italian_Plumber100:05
ubottuItalian_Plumber1: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04).  The next LTS release is scheduled to be !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04)00:05
aciculaso 8.04 is not "old00:05
Italian_Plumber1zoidfarb: can you point me to information on how to use other repositories?  I'm not sure what I'm looking for.  ... and your'e saying that they're likely only doing security updates on hardy even though it's LTS?00:06
aciculabut it will not receive major package updates beyong security fixes, its ment to be stable, not up to date00:06
mercutio42my hard drice has two partitions only: sda1 and sda2=swap. Do that reads (hd0,0) and (hd0,1) or instead (hd0,1) and (hd0,2)??00:06
zoidfarbItalian_Plumber1, that's exactly what they mean by LTS. It will have long-term support to be stable and secure, but not have the newest, fanciest features.00:07
Italian_Plumber1oic00:07
zoidfarbItalian_Plumber1, let me see if I can find you some other repos to check.00:07
=== cpg|brb is now known as cpg
Italian_Plumber1and to use those I just put them in my /etc/apt/sources.list file and update?00:07
mercutio42any guesses? please00:07

CountDownmaco: Did you look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbiquityEncryptedFilesystems ?  Seems like LUKS + LVM is possible from the standard installation CD with a little massaging.00:08
CountDownOr am I misinterpreting something?00:08
h00kwhy might my window decorations break upon login? I'm on Karmic, 64bit, latest kernel, nvidia drivers on a nvidia 8600mgt card.  This just started happening, I haven't changed anything.  I have to go to System -> Appearance -> and re-check the second box to get window decorations back, I'd rather not use fusion-icon as a bandaid to this problem00:08
zoidfarbItalian_Plumber1, yeah. Although maybe check on their website first to see if they have what you need, because there's no point in adding tons of extra repos if it's not going to have what you want. What version of rTorrent did you want?00:08
zoidfarbhttp://linuxappfinder.com/package/rtorrent00:09
macoCountDown: you're right. criminey thats complicated. i said the desktop cd didnt support it since it didnt have that stuff installed00:09
Valinux.00:09
Italian_Plumber1I've already talked to the folks in the rtorrent channel and they say that this feature is available in verion 08600:09
CountDownmaco: Cool, because I'm having trouble understanding how to do it from the alternate without horking my /home dir.  :)00:09
LinuX2halfhow do I resize my partition by half?00:10
Valinuxlol00:10
macoCountDown: alternate should have an option to keep /home instead of formatting it...00:10
LinuX2halfI'm using the Live CD and I don't know how to read the space00:10
Valinuxyou guys should be worried about kernel updates.. really..00:10
CountDownmaco: Hm, I didn't see that, but I may not have looked everywhere.00:10
LinuX2halfI'm trying to use half the partition for NTFS and the other for ext300:11
SlixHmm.. I need to split a file into parts. Any good program to do that?00:11
CountDownmaco: I couldn't really figure out how to get the alternate installer to recognize the root, home, and swap on the encrypted disk.00:11
sync3timesSlix, spit00:11

zoidfarbItalian_Plumber1, I'm not having much luck on a repo, but I found this, which should work for you: http://www.howtoforge.com/compile-rtorrent-from-svn-ubuntu-8.04-hardy-heron00:12
sync3timessrry00:12
macosync3times: nevermind00:12
macoSlix: sorry00:12
SlixWhat?00:12
SlixA bot came into #ubuntu to ask a question?00:12
macoSlix: you responded so quick to sync3times i thought you were a bot :P00:12
CountDownSomeone just failed the Turing test.00:13
SlixI didn't respond to him. xD00:13
sync3timesSlix, why do you need to split it up, to span media boundries?00:13
SlixYep. My flash drive is only 2.1gb00:13
SlixThe file is 8gb00:13
sync3timesSlix, the split command will break up a file into smaller chunks that can be glued back together with the cat command00:14
SlixThis file is going onto windows.00:14
Italian_Plumber1thanks, zoid... I'll try that.00:14
zoidfarbItalian_Plumber1, you don't have to get the source from SVN, though. You can download a .tar.gz of the 0.8.6 release00:14
Geoffryarand i read through that but i'm not very sure how to do it. i tried it but i didn't understand the instructions00:14
Italian_Plumber1oh I can use SVN.  I love SVN.00:14
zoidfarbItalian_Plumber1, I can't tell if that's sarcasm or not, but good luck, in any case00:15
SlixGah00:15
Slix7zip isn't appearing.00:15
sync3timesSlix, same machine, or different machine.   You can mount your windows onto your linux00:15
SlixDiff machine00:15
Italian_Plumber1no certainly not sarcasm.  I use svn to manage my music collection.  Use it extensively at work.00:15
sync3timesslix,  networked?00:15
aciculaItalian_Plumber1: rsync not practical?00:16
LinuX2halfhow do I resize my partition00:16
LinuX2halfI want to have two partition00:16
ValinuxLinuX2half, for what?00:16
h00kLinuX2half: you can use gparted00:16
Italian_Plumber1svn is one of those extermely well thought out software projects that seems to be managed perfectly.00:16
LinuX2halfI am using gparted00:16
solifugus_Where is ExampleApplication.h ??00:16
luks_Valinux: for partitioning your harddisk00:16
solifugus_On linux.00:16
Thijs`question, do you need to make a backup of the mbr record when you're dd-ing a drive ?00:16
SlixGah00:16
LinuX2halfBut whenever I create another partition it gave me an error00:16
Thijs`*and which you want to restore later00:17
Italian_Plumber1I like being able to track past changes and delete music from the HEAD revision without actually using it.00:17
SlixWhere does 7zip show up after installation?00:17
CountDownItalian_Plumber1: I agree, though I'm thinking of switching over to git, or at least trying it out.  Have you tried it?00:17
luks_LinuX2half: did you run gparted as root?00:17
Italian_Plumber1using it  = losing it00:17
h00kLinuX2half: if you're currently running from that partition, you will need to use a liveCD00:17
ValinuxSlix, your joking right?00:17
aciculasolifugus_: locate can help you find files, but im guessing it doesnt exist as its not provided by ubuntu, read the tutorial/book you are reading on where to find it?00:17
h00kLinuX2half: and partition from there.00:17
LinuX2halfI'm am using the Live CD right now00:17
luks_try gksu gparted00:17
SlixI'm rushing and panicking. :P00:17
solifugus_acicula, locate cannot help because I just installed ogre00:17
Italian_Plumber1git ..... is that version control?00:17
aciculasolifugus_: updatedb00:17
Thijs`Italian_Plumber1 yes00:18
obiwan_hi i'm back00:18
LinuX2halfluks_: then?00:18
CountDownItalian_Plumber1: Yes.  It's distributed version control.00:18
aciculaor dpkg-query -L <package> i think will show you what files were installed where00:18
Thijs`Italian_Plumber1 see: http://git-scm.com/00:18
h00kSlix: the binary is in /usr/bin, you can use it from the command line, or use file-roller00:18

LinuX2halfSo if I want to create an NTFS partition what should I do first?00:18
Ratizar!multisupport00:19
LinuX2halfI need to resized  my partition to half00:19
sync3timesSlix,    python -c "import SimpleHTTPServer;SimpleHTTPServer.test()"    will create a simple webserver on your linux machine,   you could browse and grab the file onto windows00:19
Italian_Plumber1what makes git better than svn?00:19
LinuX2halfFormat the allocate space to NTFS correct?00:19
Ratizar!mintsupport00:19
ubottuLinux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org00:19
aciculaItalian_Plumber1: different approach, speed, best read a comparison00:19
SlixThat sounds like a pretty odd solution.00:19
h00kLinuX2half: resize your current partition, and then create an NTFS partition on the blank space.00:19
Geoffryi just want to know how to edit my usplash theme, can someone please help me?00:19
CountDownItalian_Plumber1: I'm not sure if it is better.  I have a lot of svn experience, only a little git experience.  However, git is distributed, svn is not.00:19

ubottuTo select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork00:20
SlixGah. I thought 7zip would have a gui.00:20
=== NuclearFish-1 is now known as NuclearFish0
LinuX2halfh00k: okay so I drag the blue box to half and then the gray area will be the NTFS partition right?00:20
vltLinuX2half: Resize whatever is on that partition now.00:20
blakkheimSlix: why would you need one00:20
h00kSlix: sure, try file-roller!00:20
vltLinuX2half: Then resize the partition itself00:20
h00kLinuX2half: the gray box will probably be unused space, create a new partition and make it NTFS00:21
Geoffryi tried that dr_willis00:21
SlixI tried that, but it isn't letting me split it up.00:21
Geoffrydidn't work for me00:21
obiwan_hey guys, grub2 splash image won't work. I've followed the steps up to the letter, and won't work. Changed the line at /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme with the image name, added the path to the img, (it's an grub2 adapted image from grub2-splashimages package, so img ain't the problem), did update-grub and it finds the image, but in the boot time nothing happens00:21
SlixAha00:21
SlixYes!00:21
vltItalian_Plumber1: According to git's creator it is "svn done right"00:21
LinuX2halfh00k: okay I have created an ntfs partition with 36.12GB and ext3 with 37 GB00:22
Italian_Plumber1well maybe I'll give it a try sometime.00:22
LinuX2halfdoes that sound right?00:22
Italian_Plumber1right now I just wanna get this rtorrent thing working.00:22
luks_LinuX2half: it does ;)00:22
h00khy might my window decorations break upon login? I'm on Karmic, 64bit, latest kernel, nvidia drivers on a nvidia 8600mgt card.  This just started happening, I haven't changed anything, fairly recent 64bit install.  I have to go to System -> Appearance -> and re-check the second box to get window decorations back.00:22
h00kLinuX2half: sure!00:22
luks_LinuX2half: but i think you have to accept changes or something in gparted00:22
LinuX2halfluks_: okay then all i had to do now is to apply the changes, running sudo power00:22
aciculah00k: if you disable alle effects does it still happen?00:23
h00kacicula: well, that's what it is at when I login.00:23
luks_LinuX2half: hopefully, yes :)00:23
eylis there anyway i can figure out the weird *-*-*-* format of a selected font from a gui window that shows all my fonts (not xfontsel)?00:23
aciculah00k: did you activate the nvidia hardware driver?00:23
h00kacicula: I disabled effects, I do still have decorations, yes00:23
h00kacicula: yes00:23
h00kacicula: yes, i've restarted00:23
LinuX2halfAlright now's its checking the filesystem for any errors00:24
aciculah00k: disable it and see if the problem still occurs or enable it and see if the problem still occurs?00:24
h00kacicula: acicula yes, I'm using the 185 drivers00:24
h00kacicula: if I disable effects, I still have decorations. This is fine.  The problem is that when I login, they're disabled and window decorations are broken.00:25
aciculah00k: as in the window borders and such dissappear?00:25
coolcathow can I know witch architecture I have on my machine?00:25
h00kacicula: when I log in, yes.00:25
aciculah00k: seems like metacity or compiz crashes on login then?00:26
sync3timescoolcat, arch?00:26
h00kacicula: yes, this is the problem.00:26
soreauh00k: Do you have anything starting compiz related in your session? (sys>prefs>startup programs) like fusion-icon or compiz?00:27
h00ksoreau: negative.00:27
coolcatsync3times, thank you00:27
h00kacicula, soreau: I didn't need anything previously, all-of-a-sudden it started dying on login.00:27
arandmercutio42: in grub2 it would be hd0,1 and hd0,200:28
LinuX2halfso after I shrink the partition and add the ntfs partition, I can still able to access my Ubuntu OS correct?00:28
h00kI don't have ccsm-settings-manager for any other special plugins installed, I don't want/need this, I don't want to have to use fusion-icon.00:28
aciculah00k: other then switching the graphic driver i have no solution, if it persists with both the open source and binary nvidia driver best to post it on the forum or report it in launchpad00:28
mercutio42arand: thanks. I just found out as well =]00:28
arthurmacielhi00:28
soreauh00k: If you set None in sys>prefs>appearance>visual effects then re-login, does the problem persist?00:28
luks_LinuX2half: yes00:29
arthurmacielis there any project management opensource program for ubuntu/linux?00:29
vltLinuX2half: If the file system was resized too, yes.00:29
LinuX2halfokay its shrinking the filesystem00:29
LinuX2halfafter scanning for errors in the /dev/sda1 file system00:30

luks_LinuX2half: do you want to install windows on your ntfs partition?00:30
LinuX2halfluks_: Yes planning to00:30
luks_LinuX2half: ok, remember to reinstall grub because windows overwrites the master boot record00:31
soreauh00k: Well that's strange.. can you open gconf-editor and see if there's anything set for desktop/gnome/session/required components/window manager?00:31
luks_LinuX2half: otherwise you are only able to boot into windows00:31
h00ksoreau: coincidentally, Gnome also forgot to open folders with Nautilus, I had to re-set that manually00:31
arandLinuX2half: is the ntfs going to be the first partiton after?00:31
h00ksoreau: windowmanger's value is 'compiz'00:32
LinuX2halfarrand: the ntfs is New Partition #100:32
srvHow do I get my ext4 hard disk passphrase?00:32
luks_LinuX2half: is the ntfs partition created before are after your linux partition? in the hard disk layout (sorry for my english)00:32
LinuX2halfluks_: I think its after the linux partition00:33
h00ksoreau: I also did blast my gnome-settings (rm -rf .gnome2, .gconf, .gconfd) to see if it was anything in there and start with a default gnome session, this didn't fix it.00:33
arandLinuX2half: ok, just because windows (at least XP afaik) can get grumphy if it isn't installed to the layout-wise first partition.00:34
h00karand: I've had XP on a not-first partition and had it fine00:34
ojacobsonIs there a PPA or some other repo that has PHP 5.3?00:34
luks_arand: i think it works flawlessly if you create a ntfs with linux and install windows on it00:34
ojacobsonIt's mentioned in the Karmic pre-release chats but there aren't any links :(00:34
h00karand: the only problem I've had is software backup stuffs overwriting the mbr, especially with grub200:35

Chard1Wow, there's a lot of people here00:36
codyduncanHello again, friends.  Two problems today, but I'll take it one at a time, firstly: Anyone feel like helping me to enable WPA encryption on my wireless connection?  Wireless networks are detected and listed, so the wireless card is functional in the most basic sense, however, when going to connect to any particular network, I am not given the option of entering a WPA passphrase, only WEP,...00:36
codyduncan...and as my router is set to use WPA, this is a problem.  I am trying to get this going on a fresh Karmic install on a Toshiba A15-S157 notebook.00:36
acicula!wifi | codyduncan00:37
ubottucodyduncan: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs00:37
luks_codyduncan: did you try wpa_supplicant?00:37
ChogyDanojacobson: while it would be unwise, it is in debian experimental00:37
codyduncan@luks_ yes, I did, to no avail00:37
ojacobsonChogyDan: hmm, I wonder how badly adding that to an ubuntu machine would break things00:37
LinuX2halfthe ntfs is created as the primary partition00:37
ojacobsonWell, it's a VM! Let's find out00:37
geniicodyduncan: Is wpasupplicant package installed?00:37

usb_problemHow can I get around that?00:38
h00kusb_problem: perhaps get more space00:38
luks_LinuX2half: thats ok, but primary is a type of partition, it doesnt mean its the first partition on your hard disk00:38
usb_problemI don't have more space.00:38
jMylesI just can't seem to get my ubuntu-server going as a gateway with two NICs.  I can ping the internet and locally, but packets are not passed on.00:38
Chard1I too am running into an issue... I have an HP Mini 1000 and when I try to install the broadcom driver fix for the wireless it keeps asking me to insert /cdrom/  --- problem is, I don't have a cdrom (only able to use the USB way of installing)... is there a way to do apt-usb or apt-get w/out being online and point it to what I'm trying to install from the usb live (cd)00:39
usb_problemSo?00:39
ChogyDanChard1: is the usb plugged in?00:40
Chard1yes, i have the usb thumbdrive plugged in...00:40
aciculajMyles: you need to explicitly setup the routing00:40
Jordan_UChard1: Which driver does System > Administration > Hardware Drivers want to install?00:40
Chard1and then i go to synaptics and try to install the broadcom.. and it eventually tells me to insert /cdrom/00:40
ChogyDanChard1: hmmm, and it keeps asking for the cdrom?   check your sources, maybe delete the cdrom, and add the usb00:40
jMylesacicula: Hi again!  I don't really understand the routing.  How do I set it up?  I have webmin installed.00:41
Chard1:Jordan_U .. No propriety drivers are in use on this system.. is what it says00:42
djugglerU8.04Desktop. I've installed Postfix. changed main.cf to relay mail.comcast.net 587 added a file in sasl directory to include comcast username and password. Still getting relay problem. What have I missed?00:42
aciculajMyles: normally its not really needed, your normal broadband router will take care of it all?00:42
ojacobsonChogyDan: you don't know where the debian repo GPG key is hiding by any chance, do you?00:42
usb_problemI want to either install the minimal cd to usb or remaster the live cd. The first doesn't work, I need help.00:42
aciculaso no need to explicitly route through a system with two nics00:42
ChogyDanojacobson: no idea00:42
Jordan_UChard1: What is the exact chipset of your wireless card? ( "lshw -C network", look for BCM43XX, and tell me what the "XX" is )00:43
codyduncanOkay, since the typically-suggested wpasupplicant method seems to be of no use, is wicd a viable option?  How would I go about using that instead (typical apt-get install wicd?)00:44
arandChard1: Do you have the CD selected if you check software sources (gksudo software-properties-gtk)?00:44
amadSo, i'm a little confused... Is dynamic tick supported on 64 bit, and is the tick still ultimately limited by the kernel option CONFIG_HZ?00:44
Chard1well, now i can't find broadcom source to install... i just installed the netbook remix version... (i've tried std i386 9.10 ubuntu... and it works when i use the live cd - but quits after the install)... tried the MEI version of ubuntu from HP, but it doesn't support the verizon wireless.... and now the netbook remix... doesn't show any wireless activity whatsoever00:45
Chard1i'm in synaptics now... looking around00:45
aciculacodyduncan: wicd is just a different approach of controlling the wireless, the underlying issue is the driver, if it doesnt work in nm it wont work in wicd either(most of the time anyway)00:45
Geoffrydoes anyone know how i can change my splash screen?00:46
Geoffryplease help me00:46
LinuX2halfits taking a long time to shrink the file system..00:46
techwizrdChard1: What card do you have? My broadcom firmware was in the b43-fwcutter package00:46
Jordan_UChard1: What is the exact chipset of your wireless card? ( run "lshw -C network" in a terminal , look for BCM43XX, and tell me what the "XX" is )00:46
Chard1if i go to add cdrom it just says please insert a disc in the drive00:46
luks_LinuX2half: thats nothing to worry about00:46
jMylesacicula: not sure what to do next.00:46

ojacobsonChogyDan: No good. Thanks for the suggestion, though.00:48
codyduncanacicula: thanks.  I am now looking to see if wpasupplicant even supports my wireless card.  Where can I find a profile of my hardware to compare it to the supported list?00:48
Chard1the netbook is not able to be brought online yet00:48
Chard1no physical ethernet and the wireless is not working yet00:49
h00kacicula: the driver in jocket-gtk, you're meaning? Yeah.00:49
aciculacodyduncan: ( run "lshw -C network" in a terminal ,00:49
techwizrdChard1: Use the b43-fwcutter package00:49
ChogyDanChard1: do you know what packages you need?  you can just install the debs straight from the usb00:49
aciculah00k: system-administration->hardware drivers00:49

h00kacicula: yep :)00:50
Chard1i'm pretty sure i know or knew which ones... but they're no longer listed like they were on the std 9.10 as they are now under the netbook remix00:50
techwizrdChard1: Try this DEB: http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/b/b43-fwcutter/b43-fwcutter_012-1_i386.deb00:50
devincan an amd duron processor 700 mhz, 640 mb ram 2 partitions of 20 gb each support ubuntu 9.1?00:50

gh0s7devin: it should run00:50
devini tried to install a wubi00:51
devinbut i get an error00:51

aciculacodyduncan: run "lshw -C network" in a terminal to find out what specifically is your wireless device00:51
Chard1after i download that... how do i actually install it from the usb00:51
Geoffryplease somebody help me00:51
songerhello00:51
songeri want to make my usb bootable00:51
acicula!ask | Geoffry q00:51
ubottuGeoffry q: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-)00:51
Jordan_UChard1: Ok, first download this file and put it on your USB drive: http://jordanu.dyndns.org/b43karmic.tar00:52
Geoffrydoes anyone know how i can change my splash screen?00:52
ChogyDanChard1: /pool/main/b/b43-fwcutter/b43-fwcutter_012-1_i386.deb00:52
acicula!usplash > Geoffry00:52
ubottuGeoffry, please see my private message00:52
gh0s7anyone know why i keep getting a video mode not supported error?00:52
Jordan_UChogyDan: That won't install without a network connection00:52
ChogyDanChard1: just go there on the livecd, and double click00:52
Chard1ok i've downloaded both files and put them on usb00:53
Jordan_UChogyDan: For legal reasons that package just contains a script that will download the real firmware from the internet00:53
ChogyDanJordan_U: oh, I see!00:53
Chard1ok00:53
snap--for legal reasons00:53
aciculaits legal to download, not legal to repackage and distribte00:53
SlixHow can I specify in terminal that I want to go back a level, then another to another folder?00:54
aciculahence not in a package, but pointed to by an installation package, read the license for more info00:54
Geoffrysudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u just gives me http://pastebin.com/m22502a4a00:54
Dr_WillisSlix:  cd ../foo00:54
aciculaSlix: cd .. ?00:54
macoSlix: cd ../otherfolder00:54
Slixtwo dots! Thanks00:54
Chard1ok, remember the netbook is not online yet00:54
aciculaSlix: . = current directory ..= previous directory00:54
aciculain the tree anyway00:55
tritiumacicula: no, - is the previous directory.  .. is the parent directory.00:55
Chard1:ChogyDan that failed to work00:55
aciculatritium: yeah - is the previously visited directory00:55
Chard1and now that package installer seems to be stuck... can't close it.. one sec00:56
techwizrdChard1: Have you have tried the link to the b43-fwcutter package I sent you.00:57
Geoffry!usplash00:57
ubottuTo select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork00:57
Jordan_UChard1: Ok, now put b43karmic.tar on your desktop ( on the netboot )00:57
Geoffrysudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u just gives me http://pastebin.com/m22502a4a00:57
Chard1i am about to... i put it on usb00:57
codyduncanacicula: I am looking at this list of information, and while I can see the section for the wireless card, there is no product name listed.00:57
Geoffrycan anybody tell me  what to do?00:57
toothconfiguration question: where is the file kept that configures "prefered applications" ? I freshly installed ubuntu, copied over my ~ directory, and it clobbered some setting, and I am not sure WHERE that is kept00:58
Dr_WillisGeoffry: you actually did install/add some custome artwork?00:58
Chard1ok done00:58
techwizrdcodyduncan: You can't find the card name on 'lshw -C network' ?00:58
Chard1i put it on the desktop00:58
Chard1b43karmic.tar00:58
GeoffryDr_Willis: I downloaded a splash screen from gnome-look, I don't know what to do with it00:59
Jordan_UChard1: Once it's on your desktop run "sudo tar -xvf Desktop/b43karmic.tar -C /lib/firmware/" ( make sure to type that exactly, capitalization counts )00:59
Geoffryit's a .so file00:59
codyduncantechwizrd: No.  There is other information, but nothing of a product name.00:59
Chard1ok, it did a bunch of stuff00:59
Dr_WillisGeoffry:  theres some guidea i recall at the gnome look page. is somthing you see for like 3 sec on boot up worth all this hassle? usplash is getting phased out in thenext release i belive also.00:59
Dr_WillisGeoffry:  you basically copy it to the right location01:00
Geoffryhow?01:00
Chard1i guess it unpacked it to that dir01:00
techwizrdcodyduncan: Can you paste the output somwhere? Like pastie.org or dpaste.com?01:00
Dr_WillisGeoffry:  sudo cp whatever whever  and i dont know where it goes.01:00
Geoffryoh01:00
Jordan_UChard1: Good, now try rebooting and wireless will hopefully be working01:01
jMylesI am at a dead end with internet connection sharing.  My gateway can ping both sides but the packets, they do not flow.01:01
Chard1ok, will give it a go01:01
GeoffryAlright, well I googled all over the place, idk a guide01:01
codyduncantechwizrd: http://pastie.org/77304901:01
meatbunis there a command from an internal app to print this table http://izecksohn.com/pedro/pub/index.html01:01
Dr_WillisGeoffry:  any guide maybe out of date for 9.10 also. Its not really worth  fighting with.01:02
GeoffryI'm using 9.0401:02
Chard1negative01:02
Chard1if i click the network up top... nothings listed01:02
codyduncantechwizrd: if the iwconfig would be of any use: http://pastie.org/77305301:03
Chard1it says wired network.. but there's not actually an ethernet port on this thing01:03
techwizrdcodyduncan: That's weird. It doesn't list your product or vendor. It does say your firmware is Lucent/Agere 8.10 or something01:03
zaviMy klamav keeps on telling me that encrypt.zip files are a virus but I suspect that they are not; any ideas? thanx01:04
cvd_can i put a  pci express 2.1x16 on a pci express 2.0x16 mobo, will work corectly?01:04
Dr_Williszavi:  try some of the online virus scanner sites, when in doubt get a second oponion01:04
Chard1i will try it again with the install of 9.10 ubuntu full01:04
Chard1instead of the netbook remix release01:04
cvd_ati video card01:04
zavihave you any examples of alternatives?01:04
Jordan_UChard1: Is there any error message if you run "sudo modprobe b43" ?01:04
Chard1and do what you told me to do01:05
codyduncantechwizrd: any guesses?01:05
aciculacvd_: bit offtopic, 2.1 doesnt exist, 1.1 does and is backwards compatible with 2.0, so should be fine01:05
Planetaryalsa is giving me problems01:05
techwizrdcodyduncan: Nope. I'm googling Lucent/Agere though.01:05
Chard1no error.. just gives me the command line again01:05
tonsofpcsok, so I know of X2VNC and Synergy and Win2VNC and all that... is there something similar that takes over all input and sends it directly until it gets an escape code (needs to run on linux and connect to windows, vnc is fine, other things may work too) (I don't need to switch between machines like synergy2, I don't need video return like vnc)01:05

dkulchenkoHi all! I'm trying to get the Blue Snowball mic working with Jaunty. It works fine through ALSA, and when I look at the microphone through the PulseAudio Volume Control, I can see the volume bar moving and it selected as default. But when I change Sound Capture in System->Preferences->Sound to PulseAudio Sound Server, it doesn't work (playback through PulseAudio works fine). Any ideas?01:13
codyduncantechwizrd: would it be better if I tried installing ndiswrapper since it seems like this wireless card, though supported generally, is giving me crap?01:13
Jp82191if it works with ALSA stick with ALSA01:14
Jp82191don't go to PulseAudio01:14
dkulchenkothe thing is, i need pulseaudio because i'm mixing a ton of sound sources01:14

Jp82191i selected the default action to be do nothing is that ok?01:17
arandZeeO: yea, but if you run it from the usb it will inevitably be slower than from a disk, you can do things like putting tmp in ram but it won't be full speed by far01:17
karmadoes anyone else encounter this problem?01:17

codyduncan...a problem.  I am trying to get this going on a fresh Karmic install on a Toshiba A15-S157 notebook.  Thus far, I have found this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/315489 which would seem to relate to my problem.  I looked in my logs and saw this entry: Jan 10 16:06:35 cody-laptop firmware.sh[863]: Cannot find  firmware file 'agere_sta_fw.bin', and have since found that...01:31
codyduncan...file, and have downloaded it to my desktop.  It seems like this may be the solution, but how to exact it, therein lies my (momentary) problem.01:31

chobbsHarrison_Bergero, what command are you typing?01:32
plustax_hey guys whats the magic ctrl alt del type combination for ubuntu01:32
Harrison_Bergerochobbs...nm.  Typo on my part01:32

plustax_like what do I do when my game freezes im not trying to hit the power button every time its caused problems before01:32

arandplustax_: try alt+f2 (alt+f7 to get back) and you have a terminal from where you might be able to kill the application...01:33

albertoPlease, somebody help me configure sound system in Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope...01:34
Code_Bleucan someone help me figure out why im getting "permission denied" as root on /home/user/.gvfs?01:34

albertoJp82191 Yes, I am.01:35
arandplustax_: this was fromerly available through ctrl+alt+backspace01:35
plustax_arand so that wont restart the computer just the graphics? Is this what you recommend when the game freezes?01:35
ChazStavros: edit /etc/fstab and change the runlevel to 3, then reboot which will bring you into console mode then remove all the packages relating to xorg and gnome ect...01:35

Code_Bleuchobbs: yes01:36
Stavroschaz: i'm in console already, but which package can i remove to have everything removed?01:36
kb0oduStavros: Install "dselect" as an alternative.  It will provide a list of programs from the command line.  It uses ncurses to display "windows" from the command line.01:36
Stavroskb0odu: thanks for the hint, but i don't really need that, i don't use the gui at all now anyway01:37
Stavrosi just want to remove all the useless packages01:37
arandplustax_: sorry that should have been ctrl+alt+F2 (and F7)01:37
kb0oduStavros: It runs from the command line.01:37
kb0oduIt's command line only.01:37

chobbsfiber, If it's just for web browsing, then ssh will work as a socks5 proxy and it is a lot less work than the page I sent you to. I assumed when you said all traffic, you meant all traffic, but if it's just proxying web pages look into ssh01:51
coolkehonjtaji: is there another way01:51
jonathan__arand: grrr it seems that all packages that I install end up with this problem. when I click on the icon, nothing happens01:51
jonathan__arand: except for W:ET, which just messes up my screen resalution01:51
arandjonathan__: not really, would guess it'd down to video issues...01:51
webfoxWell, I can connect and run commands on my server just fine. The problem is that once I terminate the connection, it kills the terminal too. Is there any way for it to continue the task? Thanks for the help!01:51

jonathan__edbian, thanks, trying now02:20
chobbsHarrison_Bergero, are there spaces in the filename?02:20
Dr_WillisHarrison_Bergero:  quote or escape names with spaces in them02:20
Harrison_Bergerochobbs, yes02:20
sync3timesjonatha__ do mine, it will tell you if the drivers are loaded02:20
edbianHarrison_Bergero, Well, a "\" comes before a space.  So "folder name" would become folder\ name02:20
chobbsEscape the spaces with a backslash like this: My\ File\ Name02:20
jonathan__sync3times: alright02:21
edbianHarrison_Bergero, You can also use tab completion.  Type cd /path/to/a/fold[tab][tab]   pressing the tab key where stated and the terminal tries to autocomplete what you're typing.  Do you understand?02:21

Harrison_Bergerorohit, did you attend NCSU?02:23

edbianHarrison_Bergero, Is giulia your username?02:25
Harrison_Bergeroy02:25
jonathan__sync3times: tried that, and I do have that02:25
sync3timesrohit, so you want ownership and permissions and such not necessarily preserved?02:25
rohitsync3times: What I get is output/bar/ instead I just want the files in bar to in output/02:25
edbianHarrison_Bergero, According to those permissions giulia is allowed to read write and execute the file.  Nobody else is allowed to do anything02:25
edbianHarrison_Bergero, Which means that sudo chmod 755 was not applied to this file for whatever reason02:26
Harrison_Bergeroedbian, so why does transmission stop every single torrent with "permission denied" error?02:26
edbianHarrison_Bergero, I'm not 100% sure02:26
chobbsrohit, have you tried: cp -fR /home/rohit/foo/bar/* /home/rohit/foo/output/02:26
* meowbuntu is tempted to call !ops for help. someone should know 02:26

CaBlGuYanyone??02:36
sync3timesjonatha__, thats fine.   how many nvidia cards to you have in the computer counting mobo02:37
edbianHarrison_Bergero, look at the files inside that folder.  777 should make them all read write and executable by everybody02:37

edbianCarlis3, How far does it go?03:39

Jordan_UKiDD420: Can you pastebin your grub.cfg? And by "freaks out" I assume you mean gives an error and drops to a busybox shell?03:39

david__does anyone know if i have to download specific drivers to get the svideo to work on xubuntu04:25
edbiandavid__, What happens if you boot the computer up while the TV and only the TV is connected via S-video.04:25
suliodafud___ I dont think so... I used an s video link with xubuntu earlier on my TV04:26
david__the tv screen stays black an says no signal04:26
edbiandavid__, During the whole boot process?04:26
suliodavid__ the only thing that I needed to get it to work was to plug in the cable before I booted up the computer04:26
mom_trism, well i downloaded this font before and windows and mac didnt work and someone made a linux version http://www.gringod.com/2006/11/01/new-version-of-monaco-font/04:26
david__yeah i had it connected when i booted04:26
david__do you think that rebooting will help04:26
mezquitaleAhmuck, netbook is meant for netbooks that dont have the hardware of a desktop---like for video cards for example, you will have issues with compiz, it's easy to configure your machine to work like ubuntu remix flavor, youll have problems doing the opposite: http://helpforlinux.blogspot.com/2009/04/try-ubuntu-netbook-remix-on-desktop.html04:27
suliodavid__ Well, have you set the 'Source' of your TV to PC04:27
david__i have set it to svideo it worked when i was running windows04:27
edbiandavid__, All I know is that the system probes the hardware during the boot process.  If the TV isn't plugged in it won't be seen and thus, not used.04:27
suliodavid__ On our TV, for example, we have different Sources : AV2 (for DVD/VCR player) and Cable (for Cable obviously) and PC (for s video hook ups)04:27
suliodavid__ I see04:27
edbiandavid__, I've done it with my TV and computer before.  I know it works ;)  It's just getting it to work that's the tough part.  Of course, I did it with VGA04:28
ohhhhhhhello i have a question04:28
edbianohhhhhh, Hi :)  what is it?04:28
suliodavid__ I can tell you that I didn't have to install drivers... which version of Xubuntu are you running?04:28
ohhhhhhIm recently using ubuntu 9.1004:29
david__vga is not svideo though is it04:29
mezquitale!ask| ohhhhhh04:29
ubottuohhhhhh: 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. :-)04:29
edbianohhhhhh, good choice04:29
ohhhhhhand the "ubuntu software center" is default04:29
ohhhhhhand has no star ratings?04:29
ohhhhhhwhat happened?04:29
ohhhhhhthe old add/remove had star ratings and I could sort by ratings/reviews04:29
edbiandavid__, can't argue that04:29
suliodavid__ did you try checking forums?04:29
david__i dont have the vga cables so that makes it a little hard04:29
david__lol04:30
=== Nightw0lf is now known as Nightwolf
edbiandavid__, It should work with s-video.  the cable connection really is trivial in the matter.04:30
gnuvinceDuring the installation, when you pick a locale (C, en_US.UTF-8, etc.), where is that written?  Somewhere in /etc?04:30
ohhhhhhany way to revert?04:30
bleepbloopif I wanted to install pidgin, would just typing 'sudo apt-get install pidgin' in the terminal work?04:30
david__that i understand i had the cable hooked up upon booting so there for i dont know what to do know lol04:30
david__i will try rebooting an see if that will help04:31
ohhhhhhI would really like the add/remove with star ratings back04:31
edbiandavid__, Try googling "ubuntu and s-video"04:31
edbiandavid_, And the like04:31
mezquitale!troll04:32
ubottutrolling / trollish behaviour is behaviour that is considered annoying by other channel users, this includes going offtopic, asking the same question time and again getting answered and not acknowledging the answer, and these are not the only ways behaviour can be considered trolling, please see /msg ubottu guidelines - if this applies to you, you may find yourself outside the channel04:32
ohhhhhh?04:32
ohhhhhhare you saying im trolling? im not, its a legit question that I am sure someone has the answer to04:32
edbianbleepbloop, it should.  I'm not sure if that's the package name04:33
Ahmuckmezquitale: so netbook remix, as it appears and looks is what i'd get.  simple menus, simple interface, simple desktop?04:33
jamiejacksonhi folks, i can't get ubuntu booted. it can't seem to find my root device, which is actually a lvm volume inside of mdadm raid. i am at a loss as to how to troubleshoot. could someone help me?04:33
suliodavid__ here is a forum for you, dunno if it will help http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/s-video-on-my-xubuntu-box-511654/04:33
Ahmuckmezquitale - this - http://zeirus.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/ubuntunetbookremix_3.jpg - correct ?04:33
mezquitaleAhmuck, if that is what you want on your desktop, yes, it is possible to configure your desktop like netbook remix, just follow the guide04:33
ohhhhhhNevermind I found the answer04:34
Ahmuckmezquitale: my goal is to have a nice turn key solutions for older desktops that don't overlaod them, and are easy for seniors to use04:34
ohhhhhhgnome-app-install04:34
Ahmuckmezquitale: this appears it would do the trick04:34
w00t3ris there a way to install a virtual machine in linux to run windows?  i know there is in windows to run linux04:34
microlithw00t3r: VirtualBox04:34
jamiejacksonw00t3r: i use sun's virtualbox04:34
edbianAhmuck, No computers are considered easy to use by seniors04:34
w00t3rthx04:35
mezquitaleAhmuck, go ahead and have fun, just dont hurt yourself04:35
edbianw00t3r, Sure is!  Check out virtualbox04:35
Ahmuckedbian: depends, my mother is 70 and uses a full ubuntu desktop04:35
ohhhhhhthanks everyone for your non helpfulness04:35
edbianAhmuck, I stand corrected04:35
Ahmuckwell, ok, not quite that old04:35
mezquitaleAhmuck, if you have an older machine I highly suggest you use xubuntu04:35
Ahmuckxubuntu is to heavy04:35
blakkheimAhmuck: if you have an older machine, i highly suggest not using xubuntu as it is still bloated04:36
Ahmuckif netbook remix is heavier than xubuntu i need to keep looking04:36
Ahmuckyes, xubuntu is very bloated04:36
Ahmuckmoonos ldxe worked nicely.  i understand that ldxe is working towards a lubuntu version04:36
mezquitaleblakkheim, ok if you dont recommend xubuntu then what do you recommend? dsl?04:36
edbianAhmuck, I think it's lxde  not ldxe04:37
blakkheimmezquitale: if he prefers a *buntu, then an ubuntu minimal iso will be good.04:37
=== chobbs is now known as chobbs_
Ahmucki was looking at ubuntu remix, because of easy peasy (having all the codecs, etc.)04:37
=== chobbs_ is now known as chobbs
Ahmuckblakkheim: would ubuntu minimal have abiword, gnumeric, firefox, etc.?04:37
blakkheimAhmuck: you can install all of them04:38
edbianblakkheim, mezquitale: xfce is considered to be less bloated than gnome which is in turn less bloated than KDE04:38
MenZaAhmuck: ubuntu minimal has next to nothing, but they're all available in the repositories.04:38
blakkheim!mini | Ahmuck04:38
ubottuAhmuck: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD04:38
Ahmucki've got 30 pcs about 1ghz and 512mb ram i don't want to take to the dump04:38
urthmoverin KDE, what keyboard shortcut brings up the "Start" menu?04:38
edbianAhmuck, Make a cluster!  I'll take some ;)04:38
MenZaAhmuck: Install Ubuntu, ship 'em off to a local school :)04:38
Ahmuckneither do i want to spend time with them.04:38
blakkheimAhmuck: setup some servers or a compiling "cluster"04:38
Code_Bleuis there a channel for LUKS or cryptsetup?04:38
Ahmuckschools get free microsoft computers04:39
=== Ricky_ is now known as Guest47541
edbianAhmuck, I don't know what schools you go to...04:39
Ahmuckhaving a small mem and proc footprint to put on them and a remix interface, i could give them away04:39
emesa recent quad-core processor would probably be faster than a cluster of 30 1ghz PCs04:39
Ahmuckemes: correct04:39
Ahmuckand less power04:39
sulioMac Question for anyone  :: I installed Linux on my Mac, but now I want to reinstall Mac OS X, or possibly dual boot.. Unfortunately, my computer cannot read the CDs now!! What can I do?04:39
blakkheimsulio: this is not a mac channel, sorry04:40
MenZasulio: Try ##apple04:40
edbiansulio, Can't read what CD's ?  You could also use unetbootin04:40
urthmoversulio: you should be able to boot from a vendor apple disc04:40
hostilebreadTry using an external CD drive04:40
hostilebreadOr something04:40
Ahmuckedbian: seriously, our schools got free software for the pc's.  microsoft and a local computer company joined togather and donated the software04:40
sulioCannot boot from the Mac OS X cds04:40
sulioI thnk this deserves Linux channel because my computer is formatted in everyway for Linux04:41
Ahmuckgrants paid for the hardware04:41
mezquitaleAhmuck, the processors are running @ 1gig?  so they should be PIII or better, with 512 megs of ram?  xubuntu will do wonders on it04:41
edbianAhmuck, I see04:41
urthmoversulio: Do you have applecare?04:41

edbiansulio, The ubuntu OS has nothing to do with what device boots04:41

suliowell04:41
edbiansulio, You have to edit the bios to make things boot differently04:41
sulioRight04:41
mezquitaleAhmuck, your next bet would be damn small linux but I haven't tried it though04:41
sulioits the Mac bios04:41
blakkheimmacs don't have a BIOS04:41
suliowhich doesnt have a bios04:41
edbiansulio, ok.... I have no idea then04:42
urthmoversulio: there is a key you press during boot to boot from the CD....I think its the letter C or something04:42
Ahmuckheh, dsl is not senior friendly imho04:42
edbiansulio, That letter C things sounds familiar04:42
Ahmuckok, well thanks for the info.  i'll tuck it away04:42
sulioRIght urthmover, I do that, but the CD simply ejects04:42
mezquitaleAhmuck, you want to the mini distribution, like people have told you about04:42
sulioany idea why04:42
sulioIts not mac04:43
sulioI mean04:43

paragonchowdy - I'm having some weird audio issues. My system audio seems to be delayed. Even Turning down the volume has a 3 second lag from when the slider moves, and when the volume actually changes. Watching videos, the audio slowly falls behind the video, and after a few minutes its unwatchable. It does it in VLC, it does it in Boxee, it does it in Firefox through veetle, flash, etc.05:03
mezquitaleMachinTruc, disconnect the device and then remount your filesystems: "sudo mount -a", then do lsusb, then connect the device, then do lsbusb again and see if there's any difference from the first time you tried lsusb05:03

Windymeowbuntu: sounds like RubyRipper might be your best bet05:07
MachinTrucskrite: i'd use avidemux to remove the unwanted frames, leaving an avi with just your desired video, then use mplayer to convert it to gif.05:07
mezquitaleMachinTruc, machines get confused every now and then with devices like that, winblows blue screens, or simply fails and you have to reboot, what you basically did is unmounted your file systems, then remounted the file systems in your fstab config file, you had a clean system again without rebooting, then you put in your thumb drive again--this time you didnt confuse linux05:07
MachinTrucwell thanks a lot mezquitale05:08
mezquitaleno problem05:08

veckenanyone here?05:43
resumebgvecken: go ahead and ask your question05:44
veckenok, i have a little bit of experience with linux, i went to resize some partitions with g-parted and messed up the boot sector05:44

veckeni looked online and did not find my specific problem05:45

veckenrebuild*05:45
resumebgvecken: are you using grub2 or grub?05:45
veckeni am unsure, whichever came with ubuntu 9.1005:45
resumebgvecken: for future reference, don't resize windows operating system ntfs partitions, it can damage the windows bootloader05:45
resumebgvecken: lucky for you its grub2, and theres an easy way to reconfigure05:46
veckeni did not resize the windows one, only the EXT4 partition to make room for windows 7 and slax05:46
veckenwhat are the steps/link to re-install grub2?05:47
nomnexanyone with default permissions on /media/usb HD, if they have change to the logged user account vs (root), there is no need to format external device as fat32, but I can't be positive about the change, I am still on 9.0405:47
resumebgvecken: im searching for the command, forgot it currently, but there is a rescan command for grub2 to detect the OS'es05:47
veckenok, this is on a netbook so i have the ubuntu ISO on a flash drive, i also have a 9.04 live CD, which should i use?05:47

gerzelI have a question about using SSH to log into my home computer from the internet.  I can do it when I'm behind my own router but don't know how to adress it so I can logon from outside.  I was wondering if you knew how or could point me in the right direction.05:57
Delayi need help to restore grub2, i'm now booting from live cd and i follow the instruction from http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/how-to-recover-grub2-linux.html but i get lost here. please help. thanks05:57
jerico_geirha: eth0 is being used for my DSL so I wanted to use eth1 for DHCP05:57
KithKannanedbian if you can help me fix my problem, you're smarter than me AND the guru who convinced me to switch to ubuntu05:57

SlixThis is it!05:57
macoer, or that05:58
edbiangerzel, I can help alot.  First go to "myipaddress.com" or google "my ip address"05:58
DBCOOPANeed sound help for 9.10 if anyone can.05:58
HaldI have a problem with Stellarium. I installed the latest version and get this "stellarium: error while loading shared libraries: libQtOpenGL.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" when trying to run the program. I have tryed to find a deb package for qqtopengl but with no luck installing it from the repos. what should I do?05:58
ZykoticK9gerzel, you'll need to open the SSH port on your firewall/router to forward to your internal IP address05:58
SlixFor the last 30 minutes, I forgot I was using Ubuntu and wasn't using Windows.05:58
Slix:D05:58
edbiangerzel, That IP address is your public IP.  It probably is dynamic if you are doing this from home.05:58
resumebggerzel: you have to login to the router and open port 22 (or the port SSH is listening on) on the router, or put the computer (its local 192.168.x.x IP) into DMZ mode if your router supports that05:58
edbiangerzel, That IP address will get you to the router from anywhere in the world over the internet05:58
veckenwindows 7 is not half bad, its the first version of windows that has no major issues05:58
edbiangerzel, Understand?05:58
edbianvecken, so far...05:58
gerzelYes I do thanks05:58
edbiangerzel, Now you need to port forward on the router.  Do you know how to do that?05:59
jerico_geirha: ifconfig lists both05:59
gerzelopen port 22, and get my public ip adress05:59
KithKannanNeed help with sound/video glitching on ubuntu 9.0405:59
edbiangerzel, you need to forward port 22 to the IP address on the LAN of your ssh server.  yes05:59
veckenok, i think i found the specific problem im having on the wiki, thanks guys05:59
=== cp is now known as Guest40350
jerico_maco: both NICs are in that file as well05:59
geirhajerico_: eth0 and eth1? Is eth1 wired or wireless?05:59
macojerico_: then both are being detected06:00
edbiangerzel, Be aware though that once you have port 22 forwarded random hackers will start attempting to to log into your ssh server with random usernames and passwords06:00
edbiangerzel, It's a good idea to deny root login and other such security upgrades06:00
resumebgedbian: but openssh-server is quite secure, especially since its bsd-approved06:00
geirhajerico_: You just need to add a static entry for it in interfaces. https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/network-configuration.html06:01
jerico_geirha: yes eth0 and eth1 both are ethernet06:01
edbiangerzel, what resumebg said is true.  It is still a little safer to only allow 1 user name (your user name) to log in.  Reduces the probably of those hackers guessing correctly06:01
jerico_Okay, I already added the static but I wasn't sure if that would do it. Thanks for the help.06:01
mindfastso it still wont connect to internet...06:01
edbiangerzel, Any questions?06:02
resumebgmindfast: over ethernet you say?06:02
mindfastyes06:02
DBCOOPAAnyone know why no sound in 9.10. Alsamixer is installed up to date. nothing stupid like a mute button enabled.06:03
resumebgtry going to Applications --> Internet --> Wicd Manager --> Preferences --> check both "Always..." and OK06:03
RocketLauncherhow do i get my drivers back after sudo apt-get upgrade removed them?06:03
IdleOneDBCOOPA: possibly a mute button. check alsamixer06:03
KithKannanok, I'll just throw this out there. I installed Ubuntu 9.04 and updated my nvidia graphics drivers.  My sound works fine when I'm not doing anything interesting (i.e. playing a straight audio file or using Mangler) but if I start playing my game or play an audio file with a visualizer running, the sound gets all glitchy06:04
DBCOOPAIts not a mute button.06:04
DBCOOPAI checked all the usual stuff.06:04
mindfastnothing06:05
resumebgDBCOOPA: I know a workaround (compile alsa from source)06:05
mindfastgets stuck on obtaining ip address...06:05
IdleOneDBCOOPA: ahh sorry, I misread you06:05
jerico_If I set a static IP address for eth1 should the line "auto eth1" be in my interfaces file?06:05
resumebgmindfast: try disconnect and try to reconnect at least five times06:05
edbianjerico_, yes06:05
DBCOOPAok.06:05
DBCOOPAi'll try to compile.06:05
resumebgmindfast: I get this error sometimes06:05
KithKannananyone have an idea?06:05
lwizardlhi06:05
resumebglwizardl: welcome, feel free to ask your question06:06
RocketLauncherI did sudo apt-get upgrade and my wireless drivers was removed. it's not in restricted devices either. what should I do?06:06
lwizardlhow do i create removal guides as a layer in gimp? i am trying to create a new layer and add guides so then when I uncheck the layer the guides will disappear, but they are still there when i uncheck the layer06:07
jerico_So if in my interfaces I set a static IP then shouldn't ifconfig reflect that?  It isn't listing any IPV4 addresses in my ifconfig output06:07
resumebgRocketLauncher: maybe the manufact. has it on their website (i believe broadcom)06:07
jerico_Do I need to restart my network for it to take effect?06:07
RocketLauncherresumebg, i'll check06:07
geirhajerico_: Yes, or just take up/down the specific device with ''sudo ifup eth1''/''sudo ifdown eth1''06:08
ZykoticK9jerico_, do you have your DNS server addresses recorded somewhere?  you'll need them if you've switched to static IP06:08
strongsouli go mad when my ubuntu 9 wont connect to any wireless network all of sudden, inspite of specfying the network key06:09
geirhaZykoticK9: No, his eth0 is dynamic, it should provide dns. He wants to run a dhcp server on eth106:09
jerico_ZykoticK9: eth0 gets DNS server addresses from my ISP.  Somehow I need to tell it to give it to eth1 or something.06:10
strongsoulany help would be very timely06:10

strongsoulresumebg, If you are using Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty), Wicd 1.5.9 is in the universe repository, so a simple sudo apt-get install wicd will do it.06:15

Tamnakzmorphynor I'm not hacking anything. . . three people have already given me permission to use their networks. . .

exploreralexZykoticK9:its already unchecked07:29
powertool08Tamnakz: IIRC, a larger # on signal to noise is better, the larger the dBm, the stronger the signal, and usually the closer the router.07:29
Tamnakzand thus high noise level = bad?07:29
ZykoticK9exploreralex, and have you run "sudo apt-get update" since unchecking it?07:29
powertool08Tamnakz: Yes, high signal is good, high noise is bad.07:30

powertool08songer: Ok, do you have openssh-server installed?07:47
songerpowertool08: i didn't know that i need to generate my private key07:48
ZykoticK9bullgard, have you tried changing your password in console and then tried with Update Manager?  Just a suggestion.07:48
powertool08songer: Yep, it makes it more unique and harder to crack. It wouldn't be very effective if everyone received the same key pair after installing.07:49
snow_ I used  ssh before ,but it didn't worek07:49
bullgardZykoticK9: No, I have not.07:49
powertool08songer: If you haven't already: 'sudo apt-get install openssh-server'07:50
songerpowertool08: how can i get my private key?07:50
songerok i already have it07:50
bullgardZykoticK9: Your advice does not work. UpdateManager needs my password.07:51
dacsbullgard: i can see all the boxes i have on my lan (windows) but not my ubuntu07:51
ZykoticK9bullgard, i'm suggesting you change your password in console - then you'll have to log out of your GUI and back in with the new password07:51
powertool08songer: Now run 'ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048' Note that the -t rsa is key type rsa, there is also a key type of dsa. Its up to you, I use rsa. Also, the -b 2048 is the number of bits in the key, I use a much higher number but I'm paranoid, again, it's up to you.07:52
bullgardZykoticK9: My password works when I log in. It does not work for UpdateManager, Synaptic and probably more GUI programs.07:53
ZykoticK9bullgard, doesn't work with the special character i take it -- why not try removing it/changing your password.07:53
bullgardZykoticK9: Because I cannot remember more than a few passwords.07:54
powertool08songer: This will generate your public/private keypair. After the command finishes, try 'ls' and you should see some files named id_rsa and id_rsa.pub.07:54
ZykoticK9bullgard, good luck man07:54

ouyespowertool08,  i changed gnome to xfce because the cpu was 38% in use while i did nothing in gonme, but after the change, i never boot into xfce successfully,so i reinstalled the os07:58
powertool08songer: I also suggest putting a passphrase, this way, if your key is compromised (lost usb drive or something) then the person has to guess the passphrase too.07:58
ouyespowertool08, why you use xfce?07:58
arghh2d2ext4 isnt as stable as i'd like it to be, and it's incompatible with with some things07:58

ouyespowertool08,  you are funny08:00
songerpowertool08: i don't know what to do.  409608:00
madisThough I'm not using Linux practically, so me using gnome doesn't mean much08:00
songerEnter file in which to save the key (/home/songer/.ssh/id_rsa):08:00
powertool08songer: That's a good number for bits.08:00
powertool08songer: Go with the default08:01
powertool08songer: Then add a nice long, complex, yet easy to remember passphrase.08:01
ouyespowertool08, il get used to it08:01
songerjust hit anter?08:01
powertool08songer: After your passphrase, yes. You should have to type it twice, then it will generate the key.08:02
ouyespowertool08,  the performance is the most important for a expert, or a hackert08:02

powertool08dacs: Ah, you need putty, and a putty key.08:14
madistr, I usually use live cd and sh into my real ubuntu and do update-grub from there08:14
trthanks iAmerikan , I'll read that.08:14
powertool08dacs: According to web standards, it is. But you can run it on any port you want. I don't run mine on 22. It helps with the automated attacks.08:15
trmadis:  will that work if I'm runung wubi in a dual boot with xp ?08:15
powertool08ouyes: Yes, I'm a native speaker of english, and I'm not fluent in anything else08:16
ouyespowertool08,  "No it is the language of the ignorant westerners!" made me think you were not a westerner and english were not you first language08:16
LordDragonhey guys, how good is ubuntu's netbook hardware support?08:16
songerpowertool08:  cd ~/.ssh' and  'ls . says: autorized keys08:16
powertool08ouyes: I figured, thats why I said I need to learn another language :)08:16
madistr, oh. Why do you even have grub then?08:17
tonyyarussoLorvija, varies by model - you'll want to find info about the specific one08:17
tonyyarussoLordDragon, rather08:17
madistr, the "inside Windows" installation doesn't overwrite windows bootloader08:17
powertool08ouyes: But hey, at least I'm aware of how the west refuses to learn when they should. We're getting left behind.08:17

trmadis: heck if I know.  Just a standard Ubuntu Netbook Remix install08:17
LordDragontonyyarusso, is there a compatibility list somewhere about each model of netbook ?08:17
powertool08songer: You don't see id_rsa?08:17

bullgardAfter installing Ubuntu 9.10 using the "Ubuntu 9.10 Desktop Edition" CD but keeping my  /home partition from 8.04.3, Ubuntu 9.10 accepts my password in virtual consoles but Update Manager does not. (It includes an AltGr keystroke.) How to fix that?08:19
powertool08dacs: Right, any port you want. I'd avoid the popular ones though, and most keep it at 22, or above 1024.08:19
dacspowertool08: so why am not able to connect08:19
powertool08ouyes: Yep, there are a few of us.08:19
powertool08dacs: From linux to linux or from windows to linux?08:20
madisDoes anyone know if it's possible to use Ctrl+Alt+2 to produce @ sign? I'm rather used to it from Windows. I´m using Estonian keyboard layout, so you might not use such shortcut.08:20
LordDragonshould ubuntu just as battery efficient on the netbook as windows xp ?08:21
songerpowertool09: i don't see it08:21
LordDragoner +be08:21
dacspowertool08: does it matter? but to answer your question, at this point of time windows to linux08:21
tonyyarussobullgard, system>prefs>keyboard>layout options, make sure it's set right in there08:21
powertool08dacs: If you changed the port, you need to specify it with ssh -p <your port #> user@host. If its windows to linux, use putty. You can use putty-gen to make another keypair if you're using key based authentication, or you can import the linux key into putty.08:21
ouyesLordDragon, nope  as far as i know08:21
LordDragonso windows xp will be alot more battery efficient ?08:22

mkanyicypowertool08, but that would create some confusion, you'd rather scp the public key and 'cat' it and append it to the authorized_keys of the remote server remotely09:19

mkanyicybuzzomatic, go to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu to enable medibuntu then install those packages i told you about09:26

buzzomaticThanks09:28
mkanyicybuzzomatic, not that for a comprehensive multimedia playback, you may need to install all gstreamer plugins (the good, the bad and the ugly)09:29
powertool08songer: Also, if you are going to use windows and want to connect back to your computer, you have to use putty (its a free download) If you get the putty key-gen program too, it can convert your linux key to a windows compatible one.09:29

bullgardvalajbeg: Try the command 'apt-get clean'. May be it helps.09:32
powertool08songer: To recap, you probably still need to forward a port on your router before this will work outside your lan. You need to carry the id_rsa file with you, if you're going to be on a windows machine, you need to download putty & putty-gen (it will fit on your usb too) and convert your id_rsa to a putty private key (ppk). Finally, take note of your ip address.09:32

royerfaHI I am having trouble with the package openssh-server on ubuntu 9.1010:41
Myrttidgetsman: personally I wouldn't upgrade yet, but wait until april when the next lts is released. upgrading lts to lts is easier than upgrading lts to lts-1 version10:42
MASARUwota!ask|royerfa10:42
ubotturoyerfa: 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. :-)10:42
songerikonia: this is my sourceslist, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m6601923910:42
Darkedgedgetsman: Can't you open up "update manager" and click "new distro"10:42
royerfaI did a apt-get install openssh-server openss10:42
Myrttidgetsman: no. you need to upgrade to every version in between, in sequence10:42
MASARUwotaroyerfa: yes? and?10:42
dgetsmanfair enough; I guess I can put it off.  Darkedge, I didn't see that and I dug through everything10:42
OasaDarkEdge : If its the Icon you want you can add by using Add to panel ;)10:42
ikoniasonger: you need to contact the getdeb administrators http://www.getdeb.net/contact/ or in #getdeb on this network10:42
Oasadgetsman: There is no other way. Wait till 10.4. Or you will have to upgrade step by step10:43

joaopintoikonia, his error is not related to getdeb, it's related to it's repository containing a debian related source without the equivalent gpg key10:44

MASARUwotasonger: ? :/10:45
sprungbullgard: You will need programming knowledge to fix a faulty program.10:45
ikoniasonger: remove deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free from your sources.list10:45
joaopintoikonia, no, it's not, the link on getdeb is calling apturl, which does an apt-get upgrate which cause the error, the error is not related to the site10:45
MASARUwotaapturl is horrible D:10:45

OasaIf i restart will things be same ?10:52
reactorOasa, yh10:52
sortremordbjlen, why do you need to remove the older kernel versions?10:52
sortremordbjlen, I would keep them just in case a newer kernel gave me any problems, a kernel panic or something like that10:53
Darkedgebjlen: It shouldn't make any diffrence, I suggest Completly remove..10:53
MASARUwotasortremord: =)10:53
Darkedgeyeah, listen to sortremord10:53
bjleni would keep at least one, but i had 5 or 610:53
Myrttisortremord: after a new kernel has proven to work, I take all but the previous and remove them...10:53
bjlenMyrtti how do you remove them?10:54

bullgardAfter installing Ubuntu from the Ubuntu 9.10 Desktop Edition CD, Text in GNOME programs ignore the modifier key 'AltGr'. How to fix this?10:55
smellyno1erHi - This bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/446146?comments=all was supposedly fixed, but I've installed a daily kernel 2.6.33-999-generic and I'm still affected by it10:55
vvvvvsnd me a text file like for using bsd commands10:55
smellyno1erWhat do I need to do to get rid of that bug?10:55
MASARUwotavvvvv: please try googling, i cannot send you 1 thing as the interent is filled with it. also, LINUX IS NOT BSD10:56
MASARUwota*internet10:56
sortremordvvvvv, joing #bsd for that10:56
Myrttibjlen: hm, let me check10:56
slumberis it possible to install micrisoft framework on ubuntu linux?10:56
sortremordjoin*10:56
cweagansslumber: microsoft framework?10:57
sortremordslumber, you might be able to install it in Wine via Wine-Doors10:57
bjlenis it normal for ubuntu 9.10 to run at 40-80% CPU all the time (i currently have Xchat, firefox and system monitor open on a 1ghz laptop with intell 855GM and 1GB ram)?10:58
slumber sortrmod : tks10:58
Steel__MASARUwota:  Thank you very much !10:58
MASARUwotaSteel__:np10:58
slumberbjlen : it happent to me, but it seems a bug10:58
Myrttibjlen: firefox is a hog10:58
MASARUwotaslumber: .NET? you should install the "mono" package. you can run .net programmed apps in the following fashion: mono <application.exe>10:59
Myrttibjlen: complete removal in synaptic or --purge in aptitude.11:00
slumbermasaruwota: thanks11:00
bjlenmyrtti - thanks. i think i removed some old kernels with just 'remove' - does that matter? i'm wondering whether there are some config files i now need to manually delete?11:00
Slartbjlen: it might be a good thing.. ie if the cpu is downclocked so that firefox and xchat uses about 50% of the available cpu11:01
philipwnhow can i see how much HZ is my kernel set to run11:01
bjlenslart - i don't understand...11:01
Slartbjlen: it might also be that firefox is eating lots of cpu cycles while the cpu is running full speed.. that would be a bad thing11:01
Myrttibjlen: it's all up to your personal preference. I wouldn't worry about the possible config file residue left by kernels, grub is anyway cleaned after uninstalling the kernel images11:02
OasaRestarting didnt work out. I had to add everything manually :(11:02
bjlenat least, having closed firefox i can see the cpu is now running 10 -40% with ocassional spikes. so i guess that's ok11:02
OasaGuys. I actually came here to know if there is any way to make myself login to Windows lIve Messenger through pidgin11:02
OasaI configured but it says Protocol Problems11:03
Slartbjlen: say you have a cpu that is marked for 2.5 GHz.. if your laptop goes into powersaving mode it might be downclocked to 400MHz instead.. then firefox will use 20% of the lower speed which seems much but in reality it isn't that much since the cpu is going much slower than normal11:03
bjlenhow would i know if it was downclocked?11:03
Slartbjlen: there are some apps that might show you the current power saving state.. I haven't used those since I upgraded to 9.10 though so I can't help you with specifics11:04
mobius2I suspect that I am unable to see the range value of the various AP's around me  in aircrack because I have a separate wlan which is also  in use and I am assuming there is a program  which  handles this type of thing11:04

DJonesOasa: Pidgin normally doesn't have a problem connecting to windows live messenger, I'm using it at the minute so if you're getting an error, it could be a service problem at the windows end11:06
OasaDjones : Not just once. But always.11:06

DJonesOasa: Just looking at pidgin's website, they say that its a common error with older versions of pidgin, I would guess that you need to upgrade to a later version11:13

frederick85Hi i had to start my computer in vesa graphics because it wouldn't start in sis graphics, how can I figure out what is my problem?11:17
vikbeven after doing what is said in http://www.pidgin.im/download/ubuntu/11:18
Oasa!repositories | Oasa11:18
ubottuOasa, please see my private message11:18
mobius2insert windows installation disk and boot to the FIRST R repair console  rebuild the MBR and the boot loader11:18
xovermobius2, I ran grub-instal /dev/sda and it throws an error 'auto detection of filesystem failed'11:18
OasaWhat is repositories ?11:18
xovermobius2, I need grub to boot into linux dont?11:18
vikbI am not getting the pidgin package in my repos at all11:18
mobius2if you do not write ubuntu to the  sequence at all the windows should boot by default11:18
mobius2unless you insert your boot cd11:18
mobius2am i right?11:18
xovermobius2, at the moment I receive 'no operating system is found'11:19
mobius2boot to the WINDOWS install cd11:19
xovermobius2, appears the MBR is screwed, so im better off install grub to MBR again righT?11:19
xovermobius2, can you jsut explained why I am better of installed windows MBR?11:19
mobius2because windows sucks and it only like  itself11:20
xovermobius2, that rubbish i always use grub for booting windows.11:20
mobius2better to  not include  ubuntu at all in the boot loader11:20
DJonesOasa: I'm just looking to see if there's an easy fix for you, the only one I've found so far is to add pidgin's own repository which will update your version11:20
mobius2with full disk encryption?11:20
padi999hey guys11:21
JunkyardI am not getting the pidgin packages in my repository11:21
mobius2the whole point of full disk crypto  is to make the instance the least accessible as possible11:21
Junkyardafter adding them from the pidgin website11:21
padi999Can someone check if this is a firefox 3.5.7 problem? -> www.google.com/analytics -> there is no login form, it just does not display. This worked in former versions of firefox11:22
mobius2why  put an instance under full disk crypto  in the loader?11:22
mobius2make it look like a windows rig11:22
xovermobius2, it was full disk, but then i imaged it and deployed it on another disk not using he entire disk so its not FD.11:22
xoveralso FD is never FD as the boot partition is not encrypted11:22
mobius2yuk :)11:23
