[00:00] anyone tried gnome-shell ? [00:00] aliciapg: not sure on the revision of mpeg 4 part 10 codec???? [00:00] lillis: nforce chipset has another that I forget the module name offhand [00:00] oneunder: you can place metacity themes into ~/.themes for your user or in /usr/share/themes for system-wide use [00:00] Dr_willis Pelo I just want to add one submenu to the Applications list and also change some of the existing names === john is now known as Guest85098 [00:00] JULinuxUser, realy not something i'M famliar with sorry I can'T help further [00:00] triple_x: what do you mean? [00:01] I've added winbind and wins to my nsswitch.conf file and when I try to ping netbios computer it resolves it to dns and not wins. Here is what I get when i ping: http://pastebin.com/m2433380 [00:01] Dr_willis Pelo I did that successfully. What I found is that after opening my Gnome-Menu with the "Ubuntu" menu editor it screwed up all my settings. [00:01] If my data got corrupted, would that be picked up by fsck in the checks it performs at boot? === cpg is now known as cpg|brb [00:02] Dr_willis So perhaps Ubuntu's scripts kill the config files when it creates a user even though it copies them from /etc/skel [00:02] JULinuxUser: no idea. i never bother with remastering [00:02] thomc, I think fsck mostly check for inconsistencies in the filesystem [00:02] where does the recorded file get saved in vlc? [00:02] Dr_Willis I do it so that Windows users aren't terrified by Ubuntu's Default Gnome style. [00:03] Dr_Willis users seem to like it. [00:03] JULinuxUser: i dont bend over backwards for windows users any more. [00:03] JULinuxUser, when you remaster the cd , you do this within a floder that constains the cd data right ? that's where you should be copying your conf files , not to the filetree of the system you are running [00:03] aliciapg: Mpeg4 part 10 codecs are said to produce the same level of quality as rmvb files just not sure if you can convert rmvb files straight to a MPEG 4 format or will avi lose quality and converting to a MPEG4 leave you with poor video quality [00:03] Dr_Willis I have a computer business that is built around bending over backwards for Windows users lol. [00:03] Sucks to be you then. :) [00:04] * Dr_Willis goes the 'educate them route' [00:04] Dr_Willis, play nice ,we were all window users once [00:04] anyone used gnome-shell on KK ? how do you run it, make it run each time you boot, replacing metacity with it [00:04] Pelo NO! lol When you use a remastering tool it uses the existing file system to make an image. [00:04] Pelo: actualy i sort of went from AMIGA to linux. :) [00:04] JULinuxUser, ic [00:04] Dr_Willis, yeah, right , window virgin like I'm gona beleive hat one [00:04] Pelo Ubiquity installs everything from the disk [00:05] hey is their an ical for upcoming developer week? [00:05] triple_x: oh cool thanks i'll look at that [00:05] Pelo so wherever Ubiquity decides things go is where they go and where they come from. [00:05] JULinuxUser, maybe you should look around for a ubiquity channel ? or forum [00:05] Pelo So the secret is not to mess with Ubiquity but to find the source files and change them. [00:05] Pelo I don't think they would know where the Gnome Panel settings are. [00:06] Pelo Because it just copies a list of files. [00:06] JULinuxUser, you'd be surprise , but you can also try the gnome chanel, on gimpnet [00:06] good idea [00:06] What is the Gnome Channel? [00:06] #Gnome [00:07] JULinuxUser, different server [00:07] actualy different network [00:07] Different parallel universe. [00:07] :) [00:07] I've added winbind and wins to my nsswitch.conf file and when I try to ping netbios computer it resolves it to dns and not wins. Here is what I get when i ping: http://pastebin.com/m2433380 [00:08] JULinuxUser, irc.gimp.org that's the network, and in there just #gnome [00:11] hmm [00:11] anyone used Gnome-Shell ? I need to know how to run safely and how to replace metacity [00:11] genii: tried loading both the via and the marvell modules [00:11] didnt help [00:12] Armageddon, read up for the instrucitons I gve JULinuxUser on how to get to the gnome channel on gimpnet, they probably know better there [00:12] Armageddon: given how gnome-shell is a work in progreess. it may be best to make a custome.desktop session for it and test it out on a new user. [00:13] I can just image a newbie reading that and assuming that some unsuspecting computer user is going to be a guineapic [00:13] guineapig [00:13] gnome-shell thread -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1150357 [00:13] http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell [00:14] Where can I manually control the brightness of my laptop screen?

But my disk drive won't eject the disk. I can use: eject -T /dev/cdrom to get the disk out, but I can't eject it via the button or the player menu... I think the player still thinks it's using the disk when it isn't? [00:16] lillis: Do you have an external USB CD drive? I usually would try from that [00:16] luke_, try rightclicking it and ask for an unmount :) [00:16] luke_: sudo eject [00:16] I am trying to start a bazaar server on localhost for revision control.

That did not work so someone told me to install postfix which I did but that didn't get me far, probably because I don't know how to set it up. But I have read the docs and asked in #postfix and have no idea what to do. So I was going to remove it and try something else [00:29] Pelo : no luck, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m15d5f567 [00:29] Pelo: ok, so do i've to uninstall the existing menu and install slab or what? sorry i am new to linux [00:29] maestrojed: can I make a suggestion use exim rather than postfix its a lot easier [00:30] !pt | wander_ [00:30] wander_: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português.

[00:31] Bsims: absolutely: I would love the easiest path. This is just a local test server and its taken me all day and I still can't test my scripts that send mail. :) I am frustrated. [00:31] Bsims: I [00:31] try exim its teh debian default, so there is lots of documentation [00:31] How do I manually install Grub 2? [00:31] Bsims: ok should I proceed in removing postfix? [00:32] bsims: Do I leave the path for sendmail in my php.ini? [00:32] strywgr, open up synaptic, look for libgss1 and reinstall , also check on the left at the options, somwehre in therer there is a listing to display broken packaages, see if there are any and reinstal [00:32] Pelo: thanku actualy right now i am on kubuntu, but kde crashes alot on my pc :( it's heavy too, so i am thinking to isntall ubuntu (gnome version) but the existing menu looks ugly to me :( [00:32] ok [00:33] How do I clean up the "open with other application" menu, there are a lot of orphaned wine items in the list [00:33] Nafri, the point is you won'T need to uninstall it, you can just "not have it running" that way if you need/want to go back it will still be avilable to you [00:33] maestrojed: no apt-get install exim then uninstall postfix [00:33] I've installed Ubuntu 9.10 yesterday, and I'm having problems, from time to time the system crash or freezes I have all hardwares properly installed I really don't know what's the problem.

[00:34] maestrojed: sensible-mda depends on sendmail-bin | mail-transport-agent exim provides mail-transport-agent [00:34] Dark_Helmut, no on a per filetype basis [00:34] Where/How do I install Grub2 manually?

[00:35] Pelo : ain't there any architecture difference between kubuntu and ubuntu? the only difference is gnome and kde? [00:35] Nafri, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop will install all the gnome-ubuntu content you need, you can select which desktop to se when you log in [00:36] thomc: do you have a seperate usb drive, or what? [00:36] Pelo, kk that only shows me a much smaller list of known application. Form the right click menu, choose another application I have a long list of orphaned items [00:36] Nafri, no architecture differentce, just desktop environement and applications [00:36] Pelo : that's great, i thought kubuntu and ubuntu has some architecture difference :) [00:36] Bsims: yeh, with enough space for a single copy of my data.

[00:36] Bsims: http://pastebin.com/d656af49f It couldn't find exim, Do I want exim4-base ?

My question is, can i do a full install from the usb drive? [00:46] Pelo, for future reference http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=362368#8 broke it all out nicely [00:46] Pelo, they do [00:46] Dark_Helmut, thanks [00:46] Oh maestrojed you want screen if you use the CL alot [00:46] its a terminal multiplexer for any shell [00:46] ty [00:46] mattgyver, try booting the live cd and mounting it, see if that helps , at the very least it might allow you to recover the data [00:46] aka tabs with any console [00:47] Pelo, i was thinking about that. Ill give that a go in a little bit [00:47] CAPcap, yes you can [00:47] mattgyver, but I recommend you prepare yourself for hte possibliltty that it's effed up [00:47] Pelo, whats the easiest way to just to a fs check on the disk? [00:47] CAPcap, does your PC recognize USB boot? [00:47] Pelo, if it is ill try not to cry too much, i have some backups, there dated but i think i can manage [00:47] mattgyver, sudo fsck /dev/sd... [00:47] anyone know how to solve the login problem where you keep get shown the login screen with gnome session but not failsafe gnom? [00:48] How do I use the Grub Rescue to fix my computer??? [00:48] Pelo, thanks. Ill check out a live cd in a few and see if i can get the data back, if not ill wipe it [00:48] k4kqj, never tried it with my laptop i was always too afraid to screw it up =P but now its totally messed up so im gonna try linux. im so sick of windows [00:48] matthewford: boot to a console and install something else? [00:48] CAPcap, I did the same thing. My just hums along with Ubuntu 9.10 [00:48] Bsims: well gnome was working before, i;d like to stick with it, the login manager just keeps looping though [00:49] Hi I am having some ubuntu Network issues. I am running wireless on my laptop. When I wanted to switch to wireless I clicked the icon in the upper panel of GNOME and it says Wired Network "Device Not managed" Now I know on the last install I did on here wired had no issues. Why all of the sudden or rather anyone know just how to get wired to work? [00:49] k4kqj, if i go usb, and set my computer up to accept usb boot, will it run it live or try to install it? [00:49] how do you execute custom commands in lynx? I get these lines at the top on which I am intended to enter my commands (I am guessing), but what do I press to actually execute them? [00:49] matthewford: worst case boot to a terminal with ctrl-alt-f1 and type rm -r .gnome2 [00:50] Yoman, enter ? [00:50] matthewford: it will recreate your gnome files from scratch [00:50] CAPcap, should run with live install then you can just click on "install" from the live desktop and it'll take it from there. [00:50] Pelo, enter will just put me on the next line [00:50] someone has problem with your microphones? [00:50] Bsims: thanks i;ll give it a shot [00:50] Yoman, there is a #lynx channel [00:50] I know I need to intall the nvidia restricted drivers for my nvidia 6150se nforce 430 card, but if I can't even get the installer disk to display video, what can I do? [00:51] k4kqj, if it runs fine live and i decide to install, do i need to reformat my drive or wipe it or repartion it or anything first? [00:51] Pelo, ok will try there,thanks =) [00:51] mati_croce, earlier someone came in with mic problems, he just needed to fix the permission, menu > system > admin > user group [00:51] hi [00:52] CAPcap, the installer will do that for you [00:52] CAPcap, install will take care of the formatting, you'll have to make some decisions, but it'll walk you through it. Check the Ubuntu documentation for more directions. [00:52] Pelo in wich group should i be?? [00:52] k4kqj, so it will boot live first, from there i will have the option to install if i so choose? [00:52] mati_croce, I have no idea the group name, he just used the gui and fixed it like that, from his nick in the gui he selected properties, then the second tab I think and enable the sound / recording related stuff [00:53] CAPcap, yessir [00:53] Hey guys. I have 9.10 and Im trying to use Compiz Desktop Cube. Have it enabled in Compiz Manager and when I enabled I cant switch my desktops at all anymore. Driver/other effects working fine. How do I configure this? [00:53] Bsims: that fixed it, cheers [00:53] k4kqj, and it will take care of any formatting and partitioning that needs to be done? [00:53] pelo thank i'll see that [00:53] Hi, I am having trouble adding a GPG key. I am using a command to download the key from the website, and it seems to be successful (prompt says "saving to STDOUT") ... but I don't know how to find it after that [00:54] matthewford: no problem, now pass that learning on to others with the same problem [00:54] imran, might be that when you enable the cube it starts out with only one desktop check the settings in there for more then one desktop [00:54] anyone else have an eeepc? mines brand new and has netbook remix installed but the wifi is incredibly weak on it. it's usually at about 64%! How do i increase the signal? [00:54] CAPcap, yes. It'll make suggestions and you can choose or change as you see fit. [00:54] my laptop is right next to it and usually has 92% [00:54] in the evolution tasks in the clock applet, how can i make it show only incomplete tasks? right now, it shows everything. [00:54] k4kqj, such as? [00:54] CAPcap, the whole install will probably take less than 30 minutes [00:54] imran: So you figured out how to get your drivers working? [00:55] CAPcap, it'll ask you about the partioning of the HD. I just used the default partition and let it go. It's pretty obvious when you start the process. [00:56] soreau, yes, I just updated from update manager and its working fine now [00:56] imran: To know how to use the cube, type this here or come to #compiz: /msg FusioBot cube [00:56] Hello people! [00:56] Hello yourself [00:56] well I never [00:56] k4kqj, thanks for all of your help, got everytihng i needed :) [00:57] CAPcap, good luck, man. I think it'll be painless. Just pay attention along the way. Cu [00:57] soreau, thanks that did it! Now, do you know how I can get a more GUI theme for GRUB2? [00:57] I'm trying to install onto an old xp box but I only have an old (and damaged but gets into live session (in it now)) Jaunty CD, how do I select a network location as the source for the install files rather than the damaged CD? [00:58] imran: Nope, I just know a little about graphics drivers and a lot about compiz ;) [00:58] my computer resolution and color setting are all messed and I have no OS installed [00:58] and it wont let me load anything with graphics [00:58] and its causing me not to be able to install ubuntu [00:58] kanazky, you can install from the alt-install cd , it's a text based installer [00:59] bottom half of screen cut off [00:59] cant see anything after about 3/4 down [00:59] so a text installer would be impossible to read [00:59] When I create an account in magento, by default it is first name, last name, email address, sign up for newsletter, and password. If I want more information there like middle initial, an address, employer name etc is there something that let's me do tha tin the administrator or am I talking about a bunch of custom programming? [00:59] kanazky, could your video card be dying ? [00:59] do you have a widescreen monitor? [00:59] skip that. wrong channel [00:59] no way [00:59] kanazky, or your monitor ? [00:59] laptops rather new [00:59] its a laptop [00:59] kanazky: do you have another computer? [00:59] yes [00:59] this one [00:59] kanazky: how new? [00:59] kanazky: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:59] kanazky: actually a text vbased installer may be viewable - since its not using the gfx modes. [00:59] kanazky, still possible, that's what warranties are for [00:59] try VNC'ing the setup over the network kanazky [01:00] my laptop worked fine until i upgraded to 185 nvidia on ubuntu [01:00] now nothing worked [01:00] soreau, kk ill just ask the whole channel [01:00] Guys, how do I get a more GUI theme on GRUB2 on Karmic? [01:00] kanazky, the problem would be the driver then, can you boot hte recovery mode and reset x ? [01:00] hte? [01:00] Anyone know how to do a network install from the live CD if the data is corrupted? [01:00] Ok kanazky cd /etc/cache/apt/packages, and sudo dpkg -i the older version [01:00] imran: you can change the background wallpaper for the grub menu . and thats about it at this time [01:00] imran: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#GRUB%202%20Splash%20Images [01:00] imran, grub2 is farily new, try asking in #grub [01:00] i cant load ubuntu [01:01] kanazky, not even the recovery mode ? [01:01] i see grub> grub_rescue> [01:01] and its on a black background with greeen rectangles all over it [01:01] Dr_Willis, iflema, Pelo, thanks :D [01:01] kanazky, have youtried booting the live cd , does the computer work with that ? [01:02] yes [01:02] but it wont load the try [01:02] im trying to install now [01:02] but just hitting enter [01:02] by* [01:02] kanazky, so the live desktop session doesn't work for you ? [01:02] no [01:02] does anyone have decent experience with Samba? [01:02] i get white stripes and fuzzyness [01:02] and it just does nothing [01:02] kanazky, i,m thinking hardware problem here, I don'T think a reinstall will do anything [01:03] RandomUsr: its very well documented and theres 10000's+ of people that use it [01:03] what could of caused it [01:03] cause it was working 100% normal [01:03] kanazky: if a live cd that used to work - no longer does.. well.. that souinds like a hardware issue [01:03] kanazky, maybe the driver caused a problem and damaged your video chip no idea , [01:03] kanazky: try some other live cd's [01:03] i've tried windows as well [01:04] my laptops just rejecting everything [01:04] but shouldnt these live cds work with no graphics card anyway? [01:04] Dr_Willis, I'm not able to connect using smbclient from Linux to a window's share [01:04] kanazky: and windows has the same issue? You are not really telling us much actual information [01:04] Last question; isn't there a plugin to make your Desktop Cube like a fishtank, if so where? [01:04] Dr_Willis, could you provide some guidance? [01:04] kanazky, can you get in the bios ? is that display the way it should be ? [01:04] yes [01:04] but colors are messed [01:04] RandomUsr: try connecting via ip not the machine name. [01:04] but i can read it [01:05] and it stretches down past moniters length [01:05] kanazky: if windows has the same issue - sounds like bad hardware to me. Try plugging in a external monitor [01:05] Dr_Willis, do you think that dns issues are common? [01:05] kanazky, the bois had bad colours ? you have hardware problems , nothing to do with the os or the drivers [01:05] ok [01:05] imran: yes i think so, i dont know where it is, i dont think it was stable [01:05] how would i go about fixing it [01:05] ? [01:05] enhickman, thanks D: [01:05] RandomUsr: samba takes tgweaking to use DNS proplery. it has its own alternative. I just cheat and edit the /etc/hosts with the right ip/names most of the time [01:06] kanazky, hardware problems you go to the store and ask for a replacement or sent it to the manufacturer for repair [01:06] what part of my hardware do you think i need to replace? [01:06] How do I setup samba/nsswitch to use wins. I've added wins to nsswitch and ping appends to a dns server I don't have specified. How do I fix? [01:06] Dr_Willis, would you look at that? it works [01:06] kanazky, assuming it 's still on warranty [01:06] no [01:06] Dr_Willis: to take your cheat a step farther, set up dyndns for each host and use that [01:06] and im a university student [01:06] Bsims: for samba - No... [01:06] no money [01:06] kanazky, no way to tell [01:07] Dr_Willis: true... just a thought [01:07] im in university, cant really afford a new laptop, and its not covered by warrunty, my 1 year just ended [01:07] is there a chat room for general development questions? php, c++, projects, big projects.... ? [01:07] imran: i quick google search should find it for you though if you want to try it [01:07] RandomUsr: Ive had issues with windiows/linux box's and samba lately. seesm to work better now that i enabled the wins server featuire in teh samba configs. [01:07] kanazky, there is only so much we can do for you online, you need someone knowlegable to look at your computer and see if they can'T find anything to be done with it [01:07] RandomUsr: i was able to access via ip. but not hostname - now that i got wins enabled. its working via hostname [01:07] * Bsims fixed my current problems with wine by reinstalling the config files [01:08] alright [01:08] kanazky: what state you in? [01:08] Canada [01:08] lol [01:08] British Columbia [01:08] i have a futureshop near me [01:08] only real computer store [01:08] kanazky: damn, if you were local I'd pop over and take a look [01:08] I am using a Linksys Wireless-G USB Network adapter in Ubuntu 9.10. I can connect with my wireless network when I am connected to the wired network. When I disconnect the ethernet cable I lose the wireless connection. Where is the best place to read about this problem? Thanks. [01:08] I've installed winbind and added wins to nsswitch.conf and have all samba services started. When I attempt to ping using netbios I cannot ping any computer. How can I troubleshoot this problem? [01:08] kanazky: google for LUG near your area [01:08] DR_Willis, I'm on my Ubuntu VM now, but it's not working on my Physical OpenSuse box. I believe it's the same issue. Thanks Alot for your help [01:09] Trizicus, try asking in #networking [01:09] enhickman, found a site but doesnt seem to have em for download [01:09] Lug-a-rug?

I recently got a new HP laptop, and everything is working fine except that when I plug in my headphones the sound comes out on both the headphones and the speakers.

[01:54] ? [01:55] hydester: it works fine on my windoze se7en [01:55] flexible INSTALL_DEVICE can be a GRUB device name or a system device filename.

[02:00] boodroscotch, that's for the hardware capabilities as far as I know , see if htere is anyth8ing in there that menitons headsets maybe, [02:00] pibarnas: I think I've done it before, what part doesn't work?

[02:01] has anyone noticed "ATTENTION ALL USERS: Malicious Commands" post by jdon in http://ubuntuforums.org/announcement.php?f=341 ? [02:02] hellyeah: That doesn't install it, just downloads the source for it into the current directory you issued the command. [02:02] it contains blatantly false advice [02:02] but it's posted prominently [02:02] Awesome300: /dev/sdb2 is my actual linux partition.... sdb3 is my /home dir... should i run "grub-install /dev/sdb2"? [02:02] neezer: from GRUB menu, you get option to run older kernel [02:02] neezer: run older kernel and tel me if it works [02:02] hdon, it's been around for a while we police the channel, if anyone tries they'll get banned [02:02] TheMozart: will I still be running 9.10 if I run the old kernel? or will I go back to 9.04 if i run the older kernel. [02:02] komputes: it doesnt create a bootable sd. it simply doent write on it. it fails. [02:02] komputes: in that case, I mind as well install a second os (windows) [02:02] neezer: 9.10 [02:02] ok. I'll BRB. Thanks TheMozart. [02:03] i just installed avg-free for linux, but i'm not able to use it's commands, what should i do? [02:03] hi room, I've had something interesting happen. When I log in to Ubuntu 9.10 it looks like it is about to log in, then it goes back to the login screen. The password is correct (if i put the wrong password it tells me right away), but this is different, it just looks like it logs in, then brings me right back to the login screen. Does anyone have any suggestions? [02:03] afroman: you can do that too, I don't think that printer is supported by linux/CUPS, looking into it now [02:03] TNA5000, caplocks ? [02:03] komputes: thx [02:03] no [02:03] flexible you need to mount /dev/sdb2 and install grub where you mounted === max is now known as Guest14 [02:04] TNA5000, did you make any changes recently [02:04] ?

[02:05] Awesome300: GParted only gives me the option to unmount [02:05] komputes: isnt unr iso better for the netbook? [02:05] user123, i doubt there would be a linux version of multisim :p [02:06] flexible, that«,s because gparted won'T let you do anyting to a mounted partition, you need to unmount it first [02:06] flexible Do you know where it is mounted [02:06] pibarnas: if you like big icons it is [02:06] and i also doubt it'd work, although i never tested it... [02:06] pibarnas: hehe, unr is not for me [02:06] what the hell Gibbon? [02:06] komputes: so buttom line, until now, the only way to use my printer is virtualbox or windows? [02:07] TNA5000, still around ? [02:07] Pelo, I don't see an option to change the login type. I also uninstalled some Evolution stuff, wine, dictionary [02:07] Pelo, If i had to guess it was maybe the dictionary === Awesome300 is now known as Awesome3000 === Amaranth_ is now known as Amaranth [02:07] afroman, can you run it off a windows computer and share?

[02:14] functionofxy: not off hand but it can be at times. [02:14] it's hard for me to test speed with my bandwidth use [02:14] komputes: they would probably say that it's an old printer and can't give any support [02:14] TheMozart: when i try the 2.6.28-16 kernel, my mouse pad doesnt work. so I am back in 2.6.31-17 kernel now.

[02:16] TheMozart: I am working on it....do I need to uninstall the version I have now first? [02:17] How would I go about doing that?

I got to the menu, chose to run it from the cd without installing, and then it seemed to be starting up, it went thru the diffrent unit and random info about ports and inputs was printed on the screen.after a while it seemed to be finhsied and stopped. but No desktop was loaded up though. it just stopped. it's been sitting there for 10 minutes now. what [02:19] TheMozart: is it ok if it is the i386 deb even though I have 64 bit processor? [02:19] *edit: it went thru the diffrent units, usb ports and stuff, printing out random info... [02:19] neezer: not sure. sorry. [02:19] fatcat, you might have better luck with the alternate install cd , it has a text based installer, less demanding on the hardware then running a desktop while installing [02:19] spoke too soon, I still have the issue where after I login I get kicked back to the login screen, any ideas of how to fix it? [02:19] neezer: ask someone else about that pls [02:19] fatcat, have you tried it more than once? or test your ram? [02:20] no prob...it won't let me install, so I'll look for the 64 bit deb. [02:20] neezer: this seems to work: Solved. Installed skype version 2.0 and selected "HD Intel (hw:0)" option. [02:20] Whats the easiest way to parition a disk to have /home seperate? [02:20] neezer, the deb needs to match the os you installed , not the processor, if you installed the 64bit version of ubuntu you need the 64 bit deb, i fyou installed the i386 verison you can use that package [02:21] neezer: find the 64 skype 2.0 [02:21] Ziber, do you need to keep data on that hdd or can you whipe and start from scratch ?

[02:33] Well when I am using my graphics card for say video, and moving windows around the screen [02:34] TheMozart: I don't know what link you are talking about.

Version 185 [02:36] conner_, do you have compiz enabled ? [02:36] Yes [02:37] conner_, try turning it off, see if it gets better, the point is not to have it off all the time but to narrow down the problem [02:37] Ok I will disable compiz [02:38] Ok, I turned desktop effects off and nothing [02:39] what command I can use to find a specific word in a file? === Surion_ is now known as Surion [02:39] RandomUsr, i think grep searches inside files... use man grep [02:39] conner_, what do you mean nothing ? and can yo use my nick when talking to me please it helps keep track [02:40] So this is a retarded question, but when I'm in bash without X running.

I followed a link on the forums that seemed promissing saying to remove pulse audio and I did that then restarted and still no joy. [02:43] _Tristan: I'd probably use ext4 [02:44] Alright. Got it now. That was driving me nuts. Thanks guys.

[02:54] hello, can someone help me figure out some bash scripting. How can i make echo "/etc/..boot/grub/" look like echo "/boot/grub/ " === Bwaah is now known as Bwaah|FAP [02:54] Bain: what do you mean? what are you trying to make it do? [02:55] Is there any way I can defragment an ext4 filesystem? I have a 688 gig hard drive and i've used 263 gigs (41%) and fsck says that 68% is fragmented [02:55] <_Tristan> how do I format /dev/sda5 and have one ext4 partition taking up all of the space? [02:55] Also it used to be an ext3 filesystem and I converted it to ext4 a few months ago [02:55] _Tristan: install gparted [02:55] Right around the release of karmic [02:56] komputes: hej. I should have mentioned that I have x86_64 ubuntu installed [02:56] Hammerjak: is there a way to translate it from /etc/.../boot/grub/ to just /boot/grub [02:56] Anyone have an issue playing 'Up' in 9.04? [02:56] Bain: why would it say /etc/.../boot/grub in the first place? what is it doing? [02:57] afroman: ok [02:57] centinul, an actual dvd? do you have the restricted extras? [02:58] Out_Cold: Yes, every other DVD works fine. This one crashes both XBMC, VLC and Movie Player [02:58] _Tristan, is that the hdd with your os installed on it ? [02:58] centinul, might be a copy protect? [02:59] Hammerjak its a script i am making that goes through an array of files and copies them to a folder the majority of the file sare in /etc/ so except one of the when is in the grub folder [02:59] Is it normal for there to be about 30 or so processes running with Karmic? [02:59] <_Tristan> Pelo: nope. [02:59] Out_Cold: I suppose. I'm surprised it is only for certain movies [02:59] carry on then === Guest2070 is now known as Argus [02:59] i have an usb printer plugged on my computer on karmic, it works fine, but it's not listed in lsusb, why? [02:59] komputes: so far none of the leads is working [02:59] Hammerjak would it help if i posted the script ? [03:00] Bain: no that's ok, i just didn't understand what you were trying to do [03:00] centinul, i've had issues watching on older releases.. haven't tried a dvd on 9.10 though [03:01] Out_Cold: Ya, I had to play it in Windows :( [03:01] Hello. To who do I go to with something I think should be incorporated in the next version of Ubuntu, such as mass rename of files? :-) [03:01] maxagaz, is it powered on ? [03:01] centinul, just use torrents :p [03:01] Hammerjak: http://pastebin.ca/1749158 [03:02] Out_Cold: Nah, I try and be as legit as Ican === root_ is now known as Guest70499 [03:02] Question: is it possible to use ssh to open a window on the *host* computer - i.e. not X forwarding.

[03:04] If I want to replace xubuntu with lubuntu, how do I do it? [03:05] Does anyone know how to defragment an ext4 filesystem? [03:05] Guest73438: Purge all XFCE-related packages then install lubuntu-desktop [03:05] wweasel, export DISPLAY=:1 && command , I think [03:05] Spectral_ ifconfig [03:05] wweasel, play with numbers from 0 to 4 [03:05] kinja-sheep: i meant something more simple and understandable... you know... like the mass rename you do with a single click of the mouse in windows.... [03:05] what does purge mean? delete? [03:05] thanks :) [03:05] Guest73438: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome [03:05] Guest73438: Yes. [03:06] okay thanks [03:07] Rodensky: I'm sure there are handful of GUI Mass Renamer apps in the repo. It is just a matter of finding them and testing them to find one you like. [03:08] hi, i was trying to set up an ad-hoc wireless connection following the tips on this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Adhoc but when i try to get my device back with 'sudo ifconfig wlan0 up' it can't, saying "SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not supported". Anyone can help me? [03:08] Rodensky, there is a tool associated with the thunar file manager for block renaming , chdck in add remove inder system tools [03:08] Pelo, yes, this printer is powered on, and it works fine, it's just not listed in lsusb, that's weird [03:08] Parabola...? :p [03:08] Pelo: I believe it's still trying to open the window on the ssh client computer, on display :0 or :1, etc. [03:08] Guest73438: Don't copy and paste the command blindly. At the end of the command, there are "&& sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" -- Replace that with lubuntu-desktop. [03:08] linkz0r, pastebin your iwconfig [03:08] Out_Cold: how? what file? [03:08] wweasel, what was my best guess [03:09] Pelo: a good one too. thanks. [03:09] okay I was just wondering about that, thanks [03:09] linkz0r, run the command "iwconfig" [03:09] how long will it take? [03:10] kinja-sheep: i think that's something basic that should be incorporated in the system like it is in windows, it sounds stupid that you need a man or software downloaded for that.... [03:10] I have firefox and firefox3.5, can I remove firefox/ [03:10] why will there be both [03:11] disappearedng: firefox is a meta package that will point to the latest firefox package. [03:11] disappearedng, leave them one is just a dummy package to install the other [03:11] !lnw | Rodensky [03:11] Rodensky: Want to know the differences between Windows and Linux?

[03:12] Rodensky: You can install it -- Not everybody have the needs for mass file renamers. My grandpa does not. [03:12] once i have changed the IP address with ifconfig do i need to restart the network? [03:12] kinja-sheep how long does it usually take? [03:12] kinja-sheep: it has nothing to do with what i'm saying... you should be anti-any-idea-just-because-it-exist-in-windows [03:12] afroman: depends on your vido card/driver [03:12] komputes: ati radeon mobility hd 3470 [03:12] Out_Cold: http://pastebin.com/m3698c13a (sorry my locale is pt_BR :p ) [03:12] Guest73438: It all depends on your machine and the server. It is usually not long. 15 Min, I guess. [03:13] okay thanks [03:13] and i keep seeing a line on /var/log/syslog after i try iwconfig up [03:13] Jan 13 01:12:08 amy avahi-autoipd(wlan0)[5598]: SIOCSIFFLAGS failed: Operation not supported [03:13] Jan 13 01:12:55 amy wpa_supplicant[2203]: Failed to initiate AP scan.

[03:13] kinja-sheep: please... you know as well as i do that it is a basic thing... :-) [03:13] yes Pelo [03:14] Rodensky: http://www.infinicode.org/code/pyrenamer/screenshots.php [03:14] komputes: ya x86_64 [03:14] linkz0r, don't you have 2 wifi cards yu want? [03:14] kinja-sheep: that's what i use for more then a year [03:14] afroman: do you know what driver/module you are using? [03:14] Out_Cold: i have a single USB Wireless adapter that i want to use as a wi-fi spot to share an ADSL (network) connection with other devices [03:14] Sorry one more question, can I run the command from openbox? that's what im in right now [03:15] komputes: I installed the original from ati website [03:15] I think 9.12 [03:15] Rodensky: It all depends on the users. When you're working on a project, you would want to think globally, not local. In that case, it is best to keep simple and less hassles than installing stuffs "just because they ought to be there". [03:15] Out_Cold: the ADSL router does all the job of connecting to my ISP, all i want to do is to redirect my connection to the wi-fi adapter [03:15] Rodensky: Meh? Why did you ask for Mass Renamer then? :-) [03:15] afroman: that's maybe why. I don't recommend doing that. [03:15] I just installed a package which came with ~30MB of dependencies, It wasn't what I was looking for. How can I uninstall it along with everything else it came with? [03:15] komputes: what do U recommend? [03:16] afroman: if anything do it through Sys ? Admin ? Hardware Drivers [03:16] powertool08: What package? [03:16] kinja-sheep: gnome-rdp [03:16] kinja-sheep: I'm asking for it to be interated in the system simply like in windows, without the need to install a program for it, specially when every time i need to open the program in a separate process in order to do so [03:16] komputes: I did try the fglrx from the hardware driver, same result [03:17] *integrated [03:17] afroman: then I would report a bug using the command: ubuntu-bug [03:17] powertool08: Did you purge the package (but the dependencies are not purged?) [03:17] Is there support for the iPod Nano (4G)? I can't get it to work w/ any consistency. If I remove the drive and then reconnect it, it doesn't see it unless I reboot [03:17] komputes: I even installed the radeonhd driver === soreau_ is now known as soreau [03:18] linkz0r, i don't know if you can iwconfig up with ad_hoc but you could try switching back to Managed and try again or another way? [03:18] kinja-sheep: I haven't tried to remove it, but I'm assuming it will leave at least some of the libs it came with won't it? [03:18] kinja-sheep: i'm asking for something to be simplified, and i don't believe ubuntu was built and developed with every developer in canonical saying "my grandfather doesn't need that, and anyway there is a command for it" [03:18] powertool08: Not really. It'll remove the dependencies if there are no other package depending on it. [03:18] kinja-sheep: sorry, one more questions, can i run that command from openbox? [03:18] Out_Cold: i used ifconfig up, because i had to ifconfig down to configure the device [03:18] Guest73438: Yes you can run it from any console. [03:19] komputes: can I send U the xorg.conf to see if I didn [03:19] t mess it somehow [03:19] Rodensky: You could "integrate" it by using nautilus-actions and place the "mass rename" script. [03:20] My server got 2 nics. Can i use one for in and one for out Traffic? [03:20] kinja-sheep: It didn't remove them all :( [03:20] kinja-sheep: i'm a simple user - what you said right now is chinese for me [03:20] Rodensky: Okay, I'm saying that the feature you're hoping for is solely is up to nautilus -- the file manager. [03:21] kinja-sheep: i don't care how they do it... as long as they do it :) [03:21] Rodensky: http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/nautilus-mass-rename-script.html [03:21] afroman: just run "ubuntu-bug xorg" and submit a bug from the machine itself === soreau_ is now known as soreau [03:22] <_Tristan> how do I know what to mount? [03:22] powertool08: "sudo aptitude install deborphan && sudo deborphan" -- It'll list the orphaned packages. [03:22] kinja-sheep: i really don't want to mess with things i don't know... [03:23] _Tristan, sudo blkid will tell you what is avialable [03:23] kinja-sheep: kinja-sheep Thanks [03:23] Tscho: like a router? in here, out there, through this or one for uplink & one for down link? [03:23] Rodensky: thats why there are man files [03:23] hey guys, im using a laptop with amd64, if im not going 64 bit, is there any point in getting the amd64 release? [03:23] Rodensky: Use Pyrenamer. It get the job done (for most situations) and we don't spend all times renaming things. We watch/read things. :) [03:23] koshari: have you seen the whole conversation?... :) [03:23] kinja-sheep: So its safe to remove any orphaned package right? [03:23] <_Tristan> Pelo: all I'm seeing is my internal drive and my swap, not my external [03:23] ar0nic, none at all [03:23] ok [03:23] thanks [03:23] =) [03:24] powertool08: Yes. Orphans --> Un-needed Packages. :_) [03:24] _Tristan, external is usb ? try lsusb and make sure it is powered on first [03:24] Rodensky you dont want to use a cli renaming utility from what i can gather [03:24] komputes: I'm not registered thou [03:24] also, am i able to just throw the .iso onto a a thumbdrive [03:24] and mount it to use wubi? [03:24] iflema: One for uplink and one for down link [03:24] kinja-sheep: Just checking before I kill my box [03:24] afroman: you should [03:24] <_Tristan> Pelo: its powered on (glows blue) and its eSata [03:25] Tscho: one for up loads, one for downloads? [03:25] _Tristan, bit over my head then , does lspci give you anything ? [03:25] Using sudoers, If I want to allow people in the "WEBMASTERS" group to edit all files in /etc/apache, how can I do this? I tried: WEBMASTERS ALL=(ALL) /etc/apache2/ [03:25] koshari: i want something to be simplified for users like me who prefer some basic things to be integrated in the GUI and being automated [03:25] Offlein1 might be easier to symlink to a 777 folder from whe apache dir [03:26] powertool08: While you're at it, you can clean out configuration files by searching for them "sudo aptitude search ~c" [03:26] iflema: Yes. Thats what i want! [03:26] Rodensky, this isn'T the right place to ask for features, this isjust a support channel, we're just users like you , of varying skill level [03:26] Is it possible to shrink / when it's mounted? [03:26] kinja-sheep: Will do, thanks for the tip. [03:26] Zelest, not while it is mounted, boot the live cd and do it from there [03:26] how do I change firefox 's timeout for pages that hangs on loading? [03:26] koshari well I'm actually half-trying to learn sudoers [03:27] disappearedng, look in about:config === Argus is now known as chatzilla [03:27] Rodensky i can see your point , however for some functions cli of a script is easier, take windows for instance, its still easier to use command to find out your ip addy than mucking round with the gui. [03:27] Pelo, yeah I did, it's not there I think [03:27] Pelo - i know, it's just a disscution that developed :) btw - thank you again with your help today, it felt a bit like vista with the lack of permission to use the mic... :)) [03:27] disappearedng, try askiing in #firefox [03:28] Rodensky, sometimes stuff like that is hard to figure out, just a little thing [03:28] Pelo, ah, shame it's a prod-server and downtime is a no no :( [03:28] koshari: i know, but i'm talking about mass rename - i want to be able to do it with double clicking the mouse direct in the window in which the files are in, instead of writing commands in the terminal :) [03:28] Zelest, 3 am on a tuesday maybe ? [03:30] Ppppelo - it wasn't a small thing for me - i was in the chat for a whole day and all everyone had to tell me was that it can't be that everything is u and not muted.... :-) [03:30] Rodensky for a half measure a nautilus script is prolly a good compromise, look around, someone has llikely allready written one, then its just a case of right click, and select the nautilus script. [03:30] Pelo, atm it's 04:30am on a wednesday.. so it might be possible actually ;) [03:30] Rodensky, a nautilus script will let you do that, you just find one , dl it and drop it in ~/gnome/nautilus/nautilus-scirpt or something like hat, then it's availalbe from right click [03:30] Pelo, second issue: no monitor or keyboard available atm ;) [03:30] Rodensky: I'm trying nautilus-script-collection-svn -- See if it got that "mass renamer" script in. === soreau_ is now known as soreau [03:30] Tscho: its possible.... how to on ubuntu me no know. try researching nic bonding maybe [03:30] Pelo, but yeah, now I know what's possible or not at least.. thanks! === Offlein1 is now known as Offlein [03:31] koshari: i know, for now a have a solution, i started the conversation with asking to who i need to go with this idea of mine... that's all... :) [03:31] Zelest, leave this channel now and don'T come back until you have a fully equip functionnal computer to repair, and time to do it ;-) [03:31] jk [03:31] Rodensky and it was answeres in the first reply, brainstorm. [03:31] goodevening all [03:31] Pelo, Haha :D I have the stuff, just not connected yet.. and the lady is sleeping in the room next to my machines.. [03:32] Pelo: that's what i'm talking about! that something like this should be incorporated in the system in the next version/s [03:32] hiexpo, hi [03:32] Pelo, She'd kill me if I woke her up now to safe 50GB of diskspace ;) [03:32] save* [03:32] how are ya sync [03:32] Zelest, might not be worth it [03:32] hiexpo, doing ok [03:32] Is there a link to Ubuntu Software Center/Add-Remoive Programs on Netbook Remix? Synaptic doesn't seem like it's very good about setting up shortcuts and the like, and i'm trying to add games to my non-linux-savvy wife.

[03:49] it worked on win 7, it is a server and the iphone can be used like the touchpad on a laptop for my media center pc, it works over wifi [03:49] tt: That is designed for Windows + Macs.

[03:50] Anybody know anything about linux boot problems? [03:50] but isn't it worth trying?

[03:51] xjiujiu, what are you trying to do and why ? [03:51] I'm trying to boot Ubuntu [03:51] if i just know, its like wine /desktop/home/setup.exe [03:51] I select it in Grub [03:51] or something [03:51] the logo comes up [03:51] Is there support for the iPod Nano (4G)? I can't get it to work w/ any consistency. If I remove the drive and then reconnect it, it doesn't see it unless I reboot [03:51] but then it fades and just sits there forever [03:51] then i could try it has worked before [03:51] Now ,I have used the Ucloner to clone my ubuntu system [03:51] ZooCow, ploease don't use the enter key for punctuation [03:51] I currently can hear my myself through my speakers. does anybody know how to mute my mic on my speakers? [03:52] xjiujiu, you can copy the uuid from blkid to menu.lst that will work [03:52] tt: iPhone + Linux = not so great of a combo [03:52] xjiujiu, you also need to copy it to /etc/fstab [03:52] ok! [03:52] ZooCow, try booting the recovery mode [03:53] its just a server program iphone doesnt have much to do with it just needs to hit a server on my net [03:53] Recovery mode works, but I don't know what to do after that [03:53] Has anyone heard of TestDrive? https://launchpad.net/testdrive The latest from server dev guru Dustin Kirkland? [03:53] tt: The problem is that you're trying to run "Windows" setup (which contains supports to move a mouse around on Windows desktop) on linux. [03:53] i mean i dont actually know anything about it so iphone might have to do with it [03:53] I currently can hear my myself through my speakers. does anybody know how to mute my mic on my speakers? [03:53] ZooCow, ok we know that much, did you ever manage to have ubuntu working properly before ? [03:53] how about virtualbox do i have a better shot with it [03:53] Nevermind, problem solved. [03:54] tt: "Is there a Linux version available or on the way? * Currently we do not have a version for Linux. We will be releasing one in the future but do not have an estimated time frame yet." [03:54] Dextronaught, did the permision thing work ? [03:54] Not on this machine. It's a netbook, I'm able to boot from a USB stick, and as far as i know it installed correctly; however, after the installation and selecting it in GRUB, the logo comes up for a few moments then fades and the computer just sits there. [03:54] does anyone here have any experiance with moodle? [03:54] i need to ask some questions [03:54] yes, I'm really really happy [03:54] good, I just wondered [03:55] Pelo, I've been working on this sound thing since yesterday night [03:55] over 6 hours easy been trying to fix this [03:55] I can't believe it was so simple [03:55] is there a channel for hp's tx2z on ubuntu? [03:55] Is there anything I can do to aid an ailing HDD? It has around 204 bad sectors. :( [03:55] well after that then its just nitpicking but maybe they mean its not officially supported but it can be made to happen with those two bits of software? [03:55] Dextronaught, I had similar problems getting the sound to work on my media box, I was adding myself to the wrong group I wanted to beat myself afterwards [03:55] lol [03:56] hi all, I have an annoying hi pitch noise coming from my speakers in 9.10 (wasnt there in 9.04). This is a fresh install and it happens even when everything is muted (in alsamixer) and if everything is unmuted. It goes away briefly when I set the volume in alsamixer but returns about 5 seconds afterwards. Anyone know what might cause this? [03:56] Dextronaught, in my defence the howto i was using said sound , not audio [03:56] Is there a better chanel to ask questions about testing Lucid? [03:57] Gumby,desktop ? move speaker cables away from power cables and turn down the volume on the speakers a little [03:57] tt: It is possible that you could use synergy / quicksynergy to allow MAC or XP to control Ubuntu, then use iPhone mouse to control XP / MAC... to Ubuntu. [03:57] ZooCow: try to boot it again but when logo appears hold alt and press F1 see if ya see what it hangs on... doing this will display scrolling text of the boot sequence [03:57] Altusanew, #ubuntu+1 but it's a bit early I think [03:57] !info quicksynergy | tt [03:57] tt: quicksynergy (source: quicksynergy): GUI for easy configuration of Synergy. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9-1 (karmic), package size 24 kB, installed size 176 kB [03:58] I see [03:58] ZooCow, when replying to me, pleas use my nick it makes it easier to keep track [03:58] thanks [03:58] Pelo: doesnt matter where the speakers are (tried moving them away from everything. Turning speakers down only helps to turn the squeal down but it also turns the volume down too low to hear. [03:58] ZooCow, did you get unbuntu to work on that machine ? [03:58] Pelo: If audio is playing, the squeal stops [03:58] Pelo: TY. [03:58] Pelo, yeah dude, I understand. [03:58] Pelo: thanks for all of the advice. No I couldn't get it to work. I thought I had recovery mode working, but I get a command line that says "(initramfs)" rather than root or anything like that. [03:59] Gumby, I had some similar issue , it had to do with feedback in the cables, that's themost I can offer [03:59] now to get sound on glash [03:59] flash* [03:59] :( [03:59] xjiujiu, talk to me in the cahnnel I don'T allow private msg [03:59] ok [03:59] Sorry [03:59] Pelo: thanks. I'll investigate more. Again, this didnt happen with an identical setup in 9.04 so I think its software related [03:59] :) [03:59] thank you [04:00] I can't find the fstab [04:00] ZooCow, it's not installed properly then, not sure what I can do about that, maybe try installing it again using the alt install cd [04:00] I keep trying to burn a CD for a netinstall .iso, but each time it finishes, it says "failed to verify burned data" or something to that effect, should I try burning the CD at the lowest speed possible or is there something else I can do to help the disk get burned so that the data can be verified? [04:00] Gumby, maybe check in the sound settings and change the device , maybe [04:01] Pelo: I think I might have just found something... Just rebooting to make sure ;) [04:01] bleepbloop, you shoudl always burn instal cd at the lowest speed, but failing to verify the datadoesn'T mean the cd is unusable [04:01] ;ping [04:01] ya not being able to control boot up options bites and has made it only more work now [04:01] !ping [04:01] Here I am, brain the size of a planet and you expect me to respond to a ping? How depressing. [04:01] It don't exist in my system [04:01] !ping [04:01] hmm. [04:01] Pelo, what do you mean by "alt install cd," I'm having to use a USB stick instead of a CD.Do you think I would have to reinstall GRUB? [04:01] devunt, /ping username [04:02] ok. [04:02] Pelo: comment out options snd-hda-intel power_save=10 in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf; reboot; done [04:02] Pelo:fstab don't exist in my system [04:02] I think bot isn't exist in this channel [04:03] ZooCow, you did install ubuntu right ? I'M guessing that something went wrong with the installation, I thought you had used the live cd to isntall I was suggesting you try the alternate install cd it has a text based installer [04:03] Pelo: I tried to install with the disk that wasn't verified, but in the process the installer said it couldn't read some of the data from the install disk, so I figured it would be best to try another disk [04:03] !brain | devunt [04:03] devunt: Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [04:03] I can't play h.264/x264 movies, somebody knows about video formats? I don't know much. I have an older notebook ATI 9000 card [04:03] xjiujiu, in /etc/fstab , your system must have it , otherwise it wouldn'T know where your partitions are [04:03] * Gumby wonders if this fix also fixes the hdmi audio problems as well [04:03] Anyone have advice for managing my iPod under ubuntu??? [04:04] bleepbloop, I said it might not be unsuable, but it's not always the case, maybe you can try another burning utility [04:04] Gumby: "alsamixer" -- Make sure everything is toggled on. [04:04] how do you change the unetbootin loader to the ubuntu one? [04:04] Yeah,I see it:) [04:04] Pelo: haha yeah I was just providing evidence for 'might'. I'll try another again on the lowest speed this time and see how it turns out [04:04] nomnex, try with mplayer , it supports most format out of the box, sudo apt-get install mplayer-gui [04:04] I need change it? [04:05] Pelo, I currently can't play any music that I have downloaded. Any ideas? [04:05] xjiujiu, the uuid in fstab need to match the uudi in blkid [04:05] Pelo, It's not a problem of player. I use smplayer/mplayer, the movies start and soon freeze [04:05] OK,I see. [04:05] Dextronaught, you need the codec to play mp3 , check in synaptic for restricted extras [04:06] oh, I see. [04:06] there is a bot. [04:06] hi, when i try to deactivate Alternate Atheros "mdwifi" driver, it says: cannot remover driver Your removed the configuration file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ath_pci.conf. How might I fix this? [04:06] kinja-sheep: that wasnt the problem [04:06] nomnex, some of those newer formats are realy demanding on hardware, if your computer is old and has little memory it might just not be able to cope [04:06] Pelo, do you know if this format is more ressource hungry than DivX [04:06] Pelo, cross post [04:06] !mp3 | Dextronaught [04:06] Dextronaught: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [04:07] nomnex, :-) [04:07] Pelo I have 1 GB ram, Pentium IV 2.4 GHZ, not enough? [04:07] Pelo,when I finish those work,can I reboot my system? [04:07] kinja-sheep: when using hdmi there was loud pops and really weird sound coming out of the speakers in both 9.04 and 9.10 when using hdmi out. I stopped using hdmi out in 9.04 and moved to just regular jack. Installed 9.10 and there was a horrid squeel coming out of the speakers and regardless of what was muted or on it didnt change. [04:07] nomnex, I can'T tell, I just know that have problem with some stuff and i have a 2.4 celeron [04:08] kinja-sheep: the fix was to comment out options snd-hda-intel power_save=10 in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf; reboot; done [04:08] xjiujiu, yes [04:08] how do you change unetbootin made ubuntu to use ubuntu bootloader?

[05:03] jyncka, so in your example, the hostname is localhost [05:03] sreejith, ROFL [05:03] you arnt getting my question, will that virus harm my windows files and all? [05:03] dr0id: So anything that the virus tries to do to your system is entirely virtual, being relegated to a subdirectory inside your user home dir. [05:04] sreejith, maybe you should ask in #alsa [05:04] hdon: ah so would I need to create a subdirectory? [05:04] (And wine has so many issues in my experience, the virus would probably crash before it could do anything :P) [05:04] jyncka, apache is not very particular about in what file you set that up in, as long as it gets included by another configuration file that gets loaded [05:04] :) [05:04] ok will try there [05:04] hi, i have installed vista after ubuntu (it was xp first) and now want to install grub back to the mbr [05:04] dr0id, then I am not clear I was reading that if you ran something under wine that may have a virus will it effect the windows files also running under wine? [05:04] thx for ur help... [05:04] jyncka, no, vhosts have nothing to do with directories or subdirectories. you'd never put a configuration file (except .htaccess) under a directory accessible to the public anyhow [05:04] ok getting late here, g'night folks [05:04] i tried grub-install and it got ubuntu back but no vista :( [05:04] !grub | sidd [05:04] sidd: 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. [05:05] jyncka, http://eregie.premier-ministre.gouv.fr/manual/vhosts/name-based.html [05:05] coz_: exactly, my question was that [05:05] so will that affect? [05:05] hi everyone. to my surprise I just went to check my phpmyadmin: localhost/phpmyadmin and found this error: phpMyAdmin tried to connect to the MySQL server, and the server rejected the connection. You should check the host, username and password in your configuration and make sure that they correspond to the information given by the administrator of the MySQL server. [05:05] dr0id, then absolutely not they will not be effected [05:05] ok, thankis [05:05] debiant, since i have mounted the disk, what else i need to do? [05:05] l3ns: Have you configure phpmyadmin yet? [05:05] hdon: thanks, but in that example it says ServerName www.domain.tld [05:05] ouyes: did you edit the fstab [05:05] when i make changes to smb.conf how do i apply them? [05:06] i checked for my config.inc.php and it shows here: http://pastebin.com/m1226c1f7 [05:06] jyncka, yes, what are you trying to say? [05:06] Flare-Laptop, did not configure it, it has been working just until now >.< [05:06] /dev/sdb1 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 [05:06] not* [05:06] hdon: I'm just not sure what I need to set mine to, it seems like an important setting but maybe I'm confused [05:06] l3ns: Try restarting mysql [05:06] debiant, /dev/sdb1 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 [05:06] [05:06] !paste | ouyes [05:06] ouyes: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://ubuntu.pastebin.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic [05:06] jyncka, the purpose of vhosts is so that you can access the server using different host names and get different data [05:06] I posted a replacement for that above [05:07] debiant, is there something wrong [05:07] Flare-Laptop, okay, i restarted my apache2 and did not work, trying with mysql now [05:07] jyncka, why do you want vhosts? [05:07] ouyes: I posted a replacement for you [05:07] hdon: I want to set up separate development environments for a few different websites and this seemed to make sense [05:07] debes, is it ?/dev/sdb1 /media/usbdrive ntfs defaults,exec,umask=022 0 0 [05:07] ouyes: /dev/sdb1 /media/usbdrive ntfs defaults,exec,umask=022 0 0 [05:07] jyncka: via apache2 right? [05:08] Flare-Laptop: yup [05:08] jyncka, i also probably would question using ubuntu as a server system [05:08] ouyes: that should allow the drive to automount [05:08] hdon: well this is more to make sure my code is working than anything else but I see your point [05:08] jyncka: Alright, pastebin your /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default file [05:08] is /lib/firmware still the firmware directy that 9.10 uses? [05:09] Flare-Laptop, done restarting mysql, http://pastebin.com/m3495e26f [05:09] ar0nic: I'm pretty sure it is [05:09] ouyes: you'll have to restart in order for the fstab to be loaded (I believe) but everything should be right with the world after that. [05:09] debiant, i cannot use gedit and i am not good at vi , what tool can i chose to edit it?(i am just turn to xubuntu from ubuntu [05:09] Flare-Laptop, problem still exists... [05:09] l3ns: Alright, try logging into phpmyadmin [05:09] jyncka, what sort of technology are you developing atop? [05:09] aww hmmm [05:09] ouyes: sudo xedit /etc/fstab [05:10] Flare_Laptop: the file is default, there is no 000-default but here's the link http://pastebin.com/m2a6b2fa [05:10] l3ns: Try logging into mysql via the terminal [05:10] Flare-Laptop, yep I can log in via terminal [05:10] hdon: one wordpress site, one regular php-based site and playing with facebook development and python [05:10] mysql -u root -p [05:11] jyncka, ah, ok, well i recommend giving the apache manual a thorough reading. it's been a long time for me, so i'm very rusty, but i seem to recall becoming pretty proficient at it after reading a few manual sections about vhosts. [05:11] hdon: when I get my new computer up I'll probably have something besides ubuntu running that can better serve as a server [05:11] jyncka: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/vhosts/name-based.html [05:11] im trying to compile an app with a shared library i made, but i keep getting an "undefined reference to" error. i took a look at the symbols defined in the shared library and they have a "U" status, meaning undefined. how do i define them in the shared library? [05:11] l3ns: hmm that's really weird. [05:11] hdon: thanks, I do need to do that [05:11] Howdy...is there some good way to see what Ubuntu is doing during startup? It appears to be frozen at "Setting up console font and keymap" [05:11] l3ns: do you have php set to log its errors? [05:11] but to be fair, Starting AppArmor profiles, etc. also do not have an [OK] [05:11] Flare-Laptop: thanks! [05:11] jyncka: No problem [05:11] :) [05:12] Flare-Laptop, i don't know, guess not... i can't remember doing that before.... [05:12] Flare-Laptop and hdon, one thing I found when googling was people saying you weren't supposed to put NameVirtualHost in separate virtual host files in ubuntu, is that right? [05:12] jyncka: well you can but you don't have to [05:13] l3ns: Well if php logs then you could see what phpmyadmin's real error [05:13] zer: iirc, if you switch to one of the VTYs (maybe it's the one on f1, or f8) you get to see the scrolling text. [05:13] Flare-Laptop: got it, out of curiosity would you need to include it in other distros like fedora or centos? [05:13] l3ns: and you would see what the mess is it freaking out about [05:13] i keep getting this butthole not valid identifier error with this command: export FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR="/lib/firmware" [05:13] hi [05:13] jyncka: Its likely yes. [05:13] Flare-Laptop, any way I can access to that file? [05:14] would it be /lib/firmware/ [05:14] Flare-Laptop: cool, thanks for the help [05:14] jyncka: np [05:14] hdon: thanks for the help as well and your patience [05:14] l3ns: hmm loook in your /var/log/apache2 [05:14] anyone play unreal 2004? I have sound can't get sound to work even though oss modules are running [05:14] they're listed under lsmod [05:15] open /dev/[sound/]dsp: Device or resource busy [05:15] has anyone here set up a basic svn server? [05:15] Flare-Laptop, what file I should look into? [05:15] yay! got it! [05:15] jyncka: ;D [05:16] l3ns: Look in the error on [05:16] how do I stop and uninstall lamp from ubuntu server via ssh? [05:16] Flare-Laptop, the error.log file? [05:16] l3ns: Gimme a sec, I'll boot my server up and look === pbn_ is now known as pbn [05:17] anyone know why i would get this error [05:17] Hello all. I'm having some trouble getting my external harddrive on my Ubuntu machine shared out to the windows machines on my network [05:17] Flare-Laptop, okay.... thanks.... [05:18] need help in converting Audio AVI to MP3 [05:18] l3ns: Np Give me a sec It won't take long [05:18] i keep getting this butthole not valid identifier error with this command: export FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR="/lib/firmware" === sunil|away is now known as SunilThaha [05:18] would it be /lib/firmware [05:18] Flare-Laptop, okay, I'm looking into the different error files... [05:18] maybe its easier to just reinstall ubuntu server [05:19] hmmm [05:19] l3ns: Yup its the error.log file [05:19] have around 90 AVI files - need to convert to MP3. HOW -ADVICE [05:19] I share it out, but windows tells me I don't have permission to view files. When I look at the permissions on the external hd, I see rwx------ and it looks like the external is not owned by root [05:19] Dravekx: I would reinstall Ubuntu server if i were you [05:19] mkauley: chmod -R 777 the /media/ [05:19] como me cambio de servidor [05:20] Flare-Laptop, yeah, thats what I was thinkingn. [05:20] ok [05:20] :) [05:20] Dravekx: :) [05:20] Flare-Laptop, this is the most recent logs: http://pastebin.com/m13e63794 [05:20] have around 90 AVI files - need to convert to MP3. HOW -ADVICE [05:20] have around 90 AVI audio files - need to convert to MP3. HOW -ADVICE [05:20] calmsiva, use anything that supports conversion. [05:21] calmsiva: you want to convert video files into audio files? [05:21] calmsiva, there's only like 3000 apps that can do it laying around. [05:21] can you name one or two [05:21] i have downloaded audacity - can it help [05:22] calmsiva: google avi to mp3 linux that should give you a good headstart [05:22] audacity is stricty for audio. [05:22] * Gnea notes that AVI is a video format, not an audio format [05:22] not to mention, you are in the wrong channel for this. [05:22] nanotube: Huh. tty5 at least seems to work. But still, on tty1, the system hasn't yet started up... [05:22] debiant: did that - but could not get anything useful [05:22] Dravekx: not if s/he's looking for an ubuntu-based solution [05:22] Flare-Laptop, my config.inc.php file has no $cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] , is that normal? [05:23] and $cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] as well [05:23] so, I tried chmod -R 777 the /media/Iomega\ HDD and got "chmod: cannot access `the': No such file or directory" [05:23] Gnea : thanks - for the tip. [05:23] zer: hrm... [05:23] oh, true. [05:23] how many performance improvement will it get to change gnome to xfce? i am now using xfce, but i do not feel it is much faster than gnome [05:23] debaint, Gnea : can i use a ripper on the AVI [05:23] What is a small (preferably ~<50MB, but I'll take anything < 200MB) live boot cd that has a gui partitioner & partition resizer? [05:24] hello! [05:24] calmsiva: what does the description of ripper have to say about it? [05:24] !clones | anivisua1 [05:24] rejohn: http://tinyurl.com/s7o8v [05:24] noob question, in terminal, i am installing jdk6 and it prompts me with a license agreement, how do i continue [05:24] Is there a reduced size Ubuntu live boot cd? Something ~<100MB, useful for just testing? [05:24] Gnea : I really do not know what do you mean, really [05:24] !mini > rejohn [05:24] rejohn, please see my private message [05:24] calmsiva: open a terminal and type: apt-cache show ripper [05:24] alex accept it [05:24] converted to ubuntu some months back [05:25] what do i press to accept it? [05:25] forward I guess [05:25] ouyes: It is *faster* than Gnome but xubuntu-desktop is *just about same* as Gnome. [05:25] kinja-sheep: tanks :) [05:25] or yes [05:25] thank you [05:25] rejohn: Np. :) [05:25] Gnea : says Unable to locate package ripper [05:26] !etiquette | anivisua1 [05:26] anivisua1: Unsure how you should behave on this channel?

[05:26] calmsiva: so what's this 'ripper' that you're talking about? [05:26] who wants to help me with my graphics card problem pls :) [05:26] !someone | Jafah [05:26] Jafah: 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? [05:26] kinja-sheep, i need more details like a number or something sitatistcs [05:26] kinja, Xubuntu is similar to gnome but less pretty [05:26] Hmm actually, it appears all the ttys work. But not all services have been started properly. [05:26] Gnea : Go the Windows XP - use any ripper which comes with DVD from magazines [05:27] I wonder if there's a way to see what Upstart is doing/waiting for [05:27] calmsiva: this is #ubuntu, we support ubuntu here, not xp [05:27] Jafah: What is the problem? [05:27] hope this MAY solve the problem - the main useful tip is AVI is a Vidwo format [05:27] ouyes: It is common sense. Take a peek at "aptitude show xubuntu-desktop" -- You'll be amazed at the sheer number of packages. [05:27] !windows | calmsiva [05:27] calmsiva: For discussion on Microsoft software, or help with same, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubottu equivalents [05:27] well my problem is that i cant boot into ubunutu 9.10 from my graphics card only my internal [05:27] Gnea : No offence intended - sorry [05:28] calmsiva: basically you should try to search for programs that can help, like this: apt-cache search video audio convert [05:28] calmsiva: in the directory where the avis are: for i in * do mplayer -vo null -ao pcm:file=mywav.wav myavi.avi done === ervina is now known as tika [05:28] calmsiva: none taken [05:28] i'm on Ubuntu 9.10 which uses new grub. How do i add vga=791 option (wich used to be added to menu.lst in old grub). Thanks. [05:28] calmsiva: then convert the wavs to mp3 [05:28] ive installed diff drivers for the graphics card to no luck [05:28] kinja-sheep, i can not use shortcut ctrl+v to paste something in xedit ? [05:29] blakkheim: thanks :) [05:29] Flare-laptop: tried chmod -R 777 the /media/Iomega\ HDD and got "chmod: cannot access `the': No such file or directory" [05:29] tell me what info u need and ill get it for u :) [05:29] ouyes: CTRL + SHIFT + V [05:29] mkauley: you don't type the word 'the' [05:29] Debiant, Gnea : thanks - will try now & come back [05:29] mkauley: haha Sorry here's the exact command: chmod -R 777 /media/ [05:29] chmod -R 777 /media/Iomega\ HDD [05:29] am installing vista again because am unable to boot in it after recovering grub :( [05:29] k [05:30] Question... when Ubuntu is operational, is its runlevel 2? [05:30] sidd: no wait, that's a good thing ;) [05:30] Gnea: :) [05:30] Zer: Um I'm pretty sure it is [05:30] Zer: I believe so for Debian/Ubuntu. [05:30] kinja-sheep, it doesnt work either [05:30] No change... drwx------ [05:30] i know. it's for a friend whose brother used windows [05:30] ouyes: Type it out. [05:30] Hmm, ok [05:31] kinja-sheep, ctrl+shift+v it does not work [05:31] !grub2 | sidd [05:31] sidd: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [05:31] basically I need help getting my Nvidia GeForce 6200 OC working [05:31] but if i reinstall vista, won't i end up with the same problem? but then i can use another boot loader. [05:31] Jafah: First type !who then !u [05:31] Gnea: already done all that. [05:31] sidd: you shouldn't have to reinstall vista unless you actually overwrote the installation itself [05:31] ive tried EnvyNG but didnt work either [05:31] ahh kk [05:31] ouyes: It does *for* me. Type it in the terminal: "aptitude show xubuntu-desktop" [05:32] Jafah: and after !who and !u, see !work [05:32] kinja-sheep, i want paste something to a file opened by xedit [05:32] sidd: vista should still be technically safe if you did it right, but perhaps grub isn't finding it right [05:32] Gnea / Flare-Laptop: No change. Still is drwx------ owner is the user I log in as, not root. Tried running it as both root and as user [05:32] Gnea: could be. but what do i do? [05:32] mkauley: try removing, plugging it back in [05:33] ouyes: It might be faster without recommendation packages as to reduce the numbers of running services (and less bloated). But it wouldn't looks like Xubuntu-Desktop (Look and feels). [05:33] at present I just said "repair" from the vista CD and it booted into vista [05:33] sidd: check the grub recovery steps [05:33] !grub | sidd [05:33] sidd: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10).

Unplugged / plugged back in and nothing. [05:35] mkauley: perhaps it's FAT/FAT32/NTFS [05:35] l3ns: I PM'ed you [05:35] yeah, it is. [05:35] Gnea: done that again and again. infact, very irritatingly, if i change hd0,1 to hd0,0, it makes the first partition active and then i have to boot using live cd and fdisk to change it back to second partition. [05:35] mkauley: then that command won't work [05:35] hello all of you [05:35] can anyone recommend a good webcam with a mic that will work out of the box with 9.10 64 bit? [05:35] Supposing I had two NICs in /etc/network/interfaces, how would Ubuntu determine which to use by default for outgoing connections (as opposed to bound IPs where it would be obvious)? [05:35] Gnea: Ah, okay. Sorry, should've specified that (very much a rookie at this) [05:35] Is there a complete Ubuntu live boot cd image for system debug/testing/etc, that is only at most < 100MB or 200MB? It should be complete & self contained. It doesn't need open office, & big browsers, etc. [05:35] !hcl | neezer [05:35] neezer: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [05:35] neezer: Perhaps cheese or skype.

[05:36] kinja-sheep: I am having problems with my built in microphone on my HP laptop. I'm looking for an alternative. [05:36] sidd: as long as the change is correct, it should fix the problem [05:37] Gnea: yes, but faster is if you edit the grub menu at boot time if you want to test something else. [05:37] Gnea: So, is there anyway to share out a FAT formatted external from Ubuntu to other windows machines?

[05:39] sidd: weird [05:39] not sure then :/ [05:39] how to chmod a directory so all files in it end up 777? === NDPTAL87 is now known as NDPTAL85 [05:40] melfy: chmod -R 777 directorynamehere [05:40] melfy: chmod -R 777 dir/ [05:40] scp [-1246BCpqrv] [-c cipher] [-F ssh_config] [-i identity_file] [-l limit] [-o ssh_option] [-P port] [-S program] [[user@]host1:]file1 ...

[05:40] weird i did 666 thought would work... thanks :D [05:40] I quite dont understand [05:41] c_nick: look at the man page do this: man scp [05:41] c_nick: the brackets mean that particular section is optional [05:41] Flare-Laptop: i did [05:41] c_nick: so "-F ssh_config" isn't required, but file1 and file2 are [05:42] rww: so i can go scp /home/file1 /home/file2 .. so basically i can use scp for normal file transfer too [05:42] c_nick: yes [05:42] I'm using xvidcap and I wish to record streaming audio (i.e. music playing on vlc/mplayer), in addition to the video for a screencast. How would one do that? [05:43] What input device would I use? Currently it is Audio: /dev/dsp. [05:43] rww: will it also copy all the hiden folders files.. and symbolic links ? [05:44] c_nick: scp -r will copy recursively (i.e., a directory and all of its contents, including hidden files and folders). I don't know how it handles symlinks. [05:44] whos a Nvidia graphics card expert here for Ubuntu 9.10? :) [05:45] Jafah whats your prob? [05:45] !anybody | Jafah [05:45] Jafah: 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?
