[00:00] dr4g: super button == windows button on most keyboards [00:00] so i am running eeebuntu. The bar at the top right that holds Icon's for the network connection and what not sometimes are not there on boot. Any suggestion on what to look at? [00:00] pwnedulongtime, thanks for the advice, but I dont run on ancient hardware. I can handle the fury that is Gnome. [00:00] erUSUL, thankyou. === cpg|brb is now known as cpg [00:00] Hydrosis: this may be useful, http://wiki.compiz.org/WindowMatching (under the window rules it lists a below setting) [00:00] unr3a1: well, not sure. i mean, im running xen, but non-hvm, so i was wondering if there's another way of installing the contents of the iso to the virtual HD? [00:00] thanks trism [00:01] none to answer my question?? [00:01] guhhhh [00:01] How can I open a text file from the command line with writer? [00:01] Ziber, so you are trying to setup a virtual machine on your computer? [00:01] NotTooSmart: Come to think of it, I think the alternate install CD allows drive encryption. [00:01] ganeshiva, I dont see a question. === Out_Cold is now known as Guest23566 [00:02] undecim, my main drive has an encrypted folder already... [00:02] RandomUsr: if yiu mean openoffice writer the command is like oowriter i think [00:02] ganeshiva: er, i said a few things to you before... [00:02] why is my maximize spanning two screen instead of one. [00:02] unr3a1: specifically trying to install from an iso on non-hvm. debootstrap works, but there's no ubuntu 9.10 debootstrap template [00:02] Hydrosis, i always prefer optimized/lightweight solutions over bloat any day no matter what hardware [00:02] NotTooSmart: Just your home directory right now then? [00:02] tanx [00:02] Dr_Willis, now to pump up my terminal, any recommendations ? :) [00:03] dr4g: be more clear in what you mean for starters [00:03] pwnedulongtime, this machine is my play box. For work and other shit I usually use ChrunchBang #! linux, so I know what you mean. === Guest23566 is now known as Out_Cold [00:03] ganeshiva: windows assumes the hardware clock is giving localtime. ubuntu asks during install, and you probably told it it was set to utc, not localtime. the file /etc/adjtime and the command "hwclock" are related to telling ubuntu that "oops, nevermind, my hardware clock is localtime, not utc" but im not quite sure how to do it. suggested "sudo hwclock --localtime" [00:03] When I use Ubuntu linux, i cannot adjust the gamma [00:03] Dr_Willis, no specifics.. make it semi-transparent - ajust the colors..etc [00:03] dr4g: thats trival stuff in the menus... [00:03] Ziber, oh, alright. I do not have any experience with hvm. sorry. [00:03] time set is different in ubuntu when i boot [00:03] it changes [00:03] ........... [00:03] Hydrosis, gotcha [00:03] unr3a1: im not using hvm. im using pv. [00:04] !iso [00:04] To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [00:04] i cannot adjust the gamma [00:04] Ziber, sorry, should have been more specific. I do not have any experience with virtualization in linux. [00:04] Hydrosis, is ChrunchBang themable? [00:05] hi, which IM client has the get info thing pinging the user who i'm chatting so i can grab his ip? I think it came on instalation in the past on one of these 3 distros: debian, slackware or fedora. please help [00:05] pwnedulongtime, http://crunchbanglinux.org/wiki/theming [00:05] Its OpenBox. [00:05] So, yes., [00:05] oh right [00:05] yeah I used to run this [00:05] Ziber, I would just assume to mount the ISO to a folder and then rip the contents of the folder to your virtual HDD, but I dont know if that would work for what you are trying to do. [00:05] unr3a1: "rip"? how? [00:05] is there a video editor that supports rmvb files? [00:05] ganeshiva: are you reading what i'm saying or not? [00:05] pwnedulongtime: just install openbox in an ubuntu minimal iso [00:06] Ziber, copy and paste [00:06] worth a try. [00:06] Dr_Willis, looks like theres a terminal themes section on Ubuntu-art.org [00:06] blakkheim, wish I knew about this distro before [00:06] not sure if my hetbook hardware would be supported though [00:07] wie kann ich in der systray ein panel zu den festen hinzufügen , mir ist nach einem neustart mein auschaltpanel verschwunden und ich musste es neu hinzufügen nu ist es aber verschiebbar , aber ich möchte es gerne wieder an seinem richtigen platz ganz rechts aussen haben [00:07] !de | yogi_ [00:07] !de | yogi_ [00:07] yogi_: In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen.

[00:07] Ziber, why are you running a virtual hdd? are you trying to run a virtual machine while booted into linux? [00:07] i broke aptitude =( [00:07] unr3a1: have a box running ubuntu. decided to learn xen. made a VM. :P [00:07] Hey guys anywhere to get cool Termainl themes? :) [00:07] - [00:07] ok [00:07] dr4g: theres dozens of terminal program you can try. [00:08] dont have hvm support, so im trying hackery ways of installing from an iso, rather than debootstrap [00:08] dr4g: most poeple that use the terminal dont want fancy eye straining stuff in them [00:08] gr4g: I just started using TILDA terminal. Nice stuff. [00:08] Dr_Willis, in my experience people do care [00:08] Hydrosis, i'll research it thankyou [00:08] is there a video editor that supports rmvb files? [00:08] Ziber, ah. ok. makes sense now :) [00:09] dr4g: no they dont.. peole that actually WORK in the terminal for hours on end. dont care about themes.. they want nice fonts and stuff that dosent cause eyestrain [00:09] * Dr_Willis goes bnack to wondering why it takes 10+ min to move a 3mb file to the trashcan on his flash drive. [00:09] noobs are an eyestrain :p [00:09] unr3a1: there has to be something more than simply copying... [00:09] Dr_Willis, dont be boring! i use linux for work too! :) [00:10] I like this theme this guy has: http://tmsnc.sourceforge.net/images/screenshot8.jpg [00:10] * maco really likes inconsolata for a terminal font [00:10] Out_Cold: :) and its often the uneducated masses that dictate what people 'want' [00:10] unr3a1: and brb. [00:10] * erUSUL prefers terminus [00:10] dr4g: Dr_Willis is right. Most of us prefer minimal amounts of distractions. [00:10] Ziber, what is it that you are trying to install to this virtual hdd? an OS, just a program for a OS that is already installed onto it? you need to be a little more specific as to what you are exactly doing. === guerrilha_crls is now known as datacrusher [00:10] * Dr_Willis is using a text based IRC client even [00:11] * erUSUL raises hand [00:11] * Hydrosis uses Xchat in Gnome. [00:11] Dr_Willis, technically all irc clients are "text based" === moreno is now known as SoniC [00:11] where can i learn basic shell commands [00:11] Out_Cold, not at all. Text based mean no GUI [00:11] !cli > ganeshiva [00:12] ganeshiva, please see my private message [00:12] * Dr_Willis has console/text based GUI apps. :) [00:12] gotta love ascii line drawing [00:12] i know was just razzing him [00:12] does anyone know if there is a video editor that supports rmvb files? [00:12] ganeshiva, go find an ebook on linux or ubuntu administration [00:12] * Dr_Willis rembers when font-antialiasing was a 'cutting edge' feature in Linux [00:13] unr3a1: i want to install an iso of ubuntu 9.10 that i have onto this virtual HDD [00:13] could anyone suggest any basic shell tutorials [00:13] !shell [00:13] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [00:15] *sigh* does anyone know anything about mencoder? [00:15] Dr_Willis, do you use the gnome terminal or something else? [00:15] ok, you gotta give your virtual machine a cd-rom to potentially boot from [00:15] aliciapg: i know it has some very well done docs and faq's at the homepage. [00:15] Hydrosis: i tend to use 'terminator' these days [00:15] !info terminator [00:15] terminator (source: terminator): multiple GNOME terminals in one window. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.13+ds1-2 (karmic), package size 138 kB, installed size 1188 kB [00:15] Dr_Willis, I have my ubuntu flash drive booting now, will let you kno whow my boot up goes once I get that file name changed back [00:16] unr3a1: can you do that without hvm? [00:16] unr3a1: you dident try the nofb/nosplash options at teh grub command line? [00:16] * Dr_Willis wonders if anyone else has noticed VERY VERY slow usb flash drives when using ext2/3 on them? [00:16] Dr_Willis: what homepage? [00:16] aliciapg: id have to google for it.. [00:17] Dr_Willis: as am i but i can't find [00:17] Dr_Willis, i had a live flash that was ext3 was pretty slow.. [00:17] Out_Cold: so it dosent seem to be just my problem then. :) [00:17] Question: my gnome-display-properties is only giving me the option of 1024x768, but it's capable of higher, how can i fix it? [00:17] how do I find out what kind of audio card or driver I have? [00:17] i use fat32 for data transfers [00:17] Out_Cold: like taking 12hrs to copy over 1 gb.. :) [00:17] wow.. not that long.. i think i did 8 gig in 1 hour [00:18] http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/mencoder.html [00:18] anyone got experience with huawei e620 modem? [00:18] Out_Cold: yea. this is a 8gb flash 3gb Max was on it.. its been taking 10+ min to just empty the trash [00:18] Out_Cold: repartionint it to vfat now [00:19] what was wrong with vfat and flash?? [00:19] oh... permissions on mounting [00:19] Ziber, I don;t really know. I have some experience with virtualization, but only virtualization in windows. But I am sure it follows along the same rules. if you are trying to get a virtual machine to boot from a "cd-rom" it has to have one available to boot from. [00:19] Out_Cold: i dont have any issues with that [00:20] How do I find out what kind of display driver I have? [00:20] unr3a1: for some reason, pv's cant use cdrom's, or something. idk. and brb dinner [00:20] Out_Cold: ive just noticed the flash and ext2/3 beung nastyly slow compared to what it should be doing [00:20] i think that if you are not the owner you have to state your permissions on mount.. can't chown or something [00:20] Ziber, then I would try a different form of virtualization if it does not allow you to set optical media to boot from [00:21] Out_Cold: thats how vfat/ntfs normally work. [00:21] Question: my gnome-display-properties is giving me the best option of 1024x768, but it's capable of higher, how can i fix it? [00:21] I'm using ubuntu-server as a router / gateway. When I add hosts to /etc/hosts, it takes the rest of the network almost a day to respond to them. How can I speed this up? What mechanism is creating the delay? [00:21] How do I figure out what display driver I have? [00:21] i remember being stumped helping someone on an ext hdd before... [00:21] untermensch: You have installed the proper video card drivers for your chipset? [00:22] jMyles: what order do you have DNS configured in in the /etc/nsswitch.conf file? is "files" first ja? [00:22] Out_Cold: for ext2/3 you set the permissions/oqnership same as if it was an internal drive [00:22] Dr_Willis, oh, I thought they were options I could set in the grub config file. what do I have to type in to boot the hard disk from the grub command line with those options? [00:22] hey there, I have a 1TB hdd on my server computer, I right click properties, it shows "used 105gb, free 765gb, there should be more free space than that surely, is there a limit to how much the file manager can "see" ? [00:22] Dr_Willis: yes. they used to work, then after dual-screening with another monitor it went to this weird set up [00:22] unr3a1: use nosplash and nofb and delete the 'quiet' option at the end of the grub kernel options line [00:23] daftykins: Very interesting - I've never seen this file. The "hosts" line reads in this order: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4 [00:23] daftykins: Mind you, I can ping with the hostname immediately from the server [00:24] Dr_Willis, ok, doing that now [00:24] homebrewcider, you are seeing it right... it is not limitation of the file manager [00:24] Dr_Willis, so should i rename my gdm.conf file again? [00:24] jMyles: ah well that's fine... it's got files prioritised... that's about all i know really! what OS are your clients? [00:24] daftykins: all ubuntu [00:24] but tanjir, shouldn't it add up to about 931gb? [00:24] Dr_Willis: any other ideas? [00:24] unr3a1: if you want - using nosplash/nofb has nothing to do with that config file. the options will allow you to see all tjhe text boot messages [00:25] kk [00:25] jMyles: so all their primary DNS is the IP of the router/gateway e.g. 192.168.0.1 ? [00:25] daftykins: yep [00:25] instead of about 880 [00:25] homebrewcider, in your console, type "df" it will give you the right information (you are missing swap partition i blv) [00:25] jMyles: ah ok, i would personally try a DNS cache clear, though i'd imagine it shouldn't be too relevant since it would be a new hostname it hasn't tried yet! anyway that's the extent of my knowledge i'm afraid [00:27] Hello people, I need some help. It's about a good software to manage my photos on my ipod, but another than GPixPod, because my iPod is 7th gen and it won't recognize it [00:28] ah, makes sense, thank you [00:28] homebrewcider, no prob... :) [00:29] heyho [00:30] bonsoir a tous [00:30] !fr [00:30] Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [00:31] Hey guys what's the best media player on ubuntu, is it mplayer ? [00:32] dr4g: like so many things in linux 'it depends' [00:32] What's the command "ext3.mkfs" in ubuntu? [00:32] I use mplayer/vlc for my videos [00:32] ok peeps have an issue my dns keeps going away... === Damn3d is now known as damn3d [00:32] Joker_-_: mkfs.ext3 [00:32] VLC is nice, but i want something that i can get good themes for. what do you suggest ? [00:32] Dr_Willis: :) thx [00:32] my network setting in the administration/network tool are not being used when I reboot or restart X [00:33] dr4g: should i suggest getting over your theme fetish.. and vlc has themes I belive... [00:33] This looks niec: http://gnome-look.org/CONTENT/content-pre3/55440-3.jpg [00:33] * Dr_Willis wonders what themes have to do with being able to play back videos well... [00:33] I don't know what's going on bt each time I have to open it up and set my saved preferences.. what is going on [00:33] nice * [00:33] do I need to shut down X and make it save it as default [00:33] smplayer and mplayer also have themable features [00:33] !xbmc [00:33] Dr_Willis, you know what player this is? http://gnome-look.org/CONTENT/content-pre3/55440-3.jpg [00:33] theres also xbmc, moovida, and eddna [00:34] ah i seen the text at the bottom, might be winamp 5 then :P [00:34] hey I'm running 9.10 and it appears that tor came installed by default. Where is it? I want to set vidalia up to run it. [00:34] i have a problem, tomcat does not resolv localhost, please see this pastebin for more details -> http://pastebin.ca/1750421 [00:34] dr4g: looks like the windows based winamp [00:34] dr4g: from the text at the bottom.. it looks lik its wuinamp :) [00:34] Hey all. [00:34] hehe just spotted it guys :D [00:34] any ideas [00:34] dr4g: theres music plauyers that can use winamp themes [00:35] coolness [00:35] Does anyone know of a way to get the new indicator applet to show new emails, without having to keep evolution open all the time? [00:35] Rhytmbox is good for me, nice GUI and fast [00:35] ludivague, screenshot? :) [00:36] good music players are often not good video players... [00:36] and visa versa [00:36] I've preferred Banshee as of late. [00:36] I ave also got my dns setup to use resolvconf in my /etc/network/interfaces. [00:36] Case in point, using VLC as a music player.... [00:36] Dr_Willis, last time i used linux was slackware, and the GUI wasn't too good then :P 6 years later i've went to debian, ubuntu and wanna make my OS look really good [00:36] AshtonK: I know there is an interface for working with it, but I'd be damned if I remember how. There is a shell command you can type to make it pop a notification, but I don't know how to change the icon status [00:36] it will tempt me to stay on linux instead of booting to windows :d [00:36] dr4g: i woudl suggest learning linux basics first and reading/exploring. [00:36] Hopefully they'll change that in 10.4 then. I know there was some sort of grand plan for that applet. [00:36] mpd for music, mplayer (compiled with multithreading and no gui) for video [00:36] Dr_Willis, i'm a software engineer, i'm familiar with linux [00:37] dr4g: you have 6 years of new things to learn about it seems [00:37] but looking for advice on cool new styles [00:37] Never trust a software engineer to make an interface. [00:37] :P [00:37] AshtonK: :OP [00:37] :) [00:37] Dr_Willis, i use it daily, at work but my home computer has been windows. [00:37] AshtonK, exactly, i need help! :D [00:37] With what? [00:38] spend the next 3 days exploreing compiz and ccsm. [00:38] ccsm? [00:38] !ccsm [00:38] To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz [00:38] AshtonK, making my ubuntu theme looking really good. i see loads of great example on google images. [00:38] Ohhh, that's what ccsm. [00:38] Yeah, compizconfig-settings-manager [00:38] then go play with kde4 if you want fancy weirdness in your interface. :) [00:38] Will do the fancy effects. [00:38] Dr_Willis, yea i've got ccsm up and running, playing with all the window effects [00:38] i like the spinner on SUPER+TAB [00:39] Most other static stuff is on gnome-look IIRC. [00:39] teally nice :) [00:39] really * [00:39] Different engines, themes, etc. [00:39] The default has always done it for me. [00:39] CCSm has some feature to put ROOT: in the title of any window/file manager thats being ran as root. :) thats a handy feature. :P [00:39] hi all, how to add freedns to webserver on ubuntu ?

[00:44] Aruna: YES [00:44] you can do it witn about any linux. [00:44] Dr_Willis, what I am doing now, is rebooting my computer to see if the nvidia installer worked [00:44] max1234, sorry, we won't answer your question here.

My monitor's contrast, gamma etc is all adjustable from the monitor's hardware/. [00:55] Dr_Willis: i intend on doing that too :| [00:55] do you knowno... [00:55] hi people [00:55] Now I see the disadvantages to being on (one of) the largest channels on the network... :( [00:55] freenode is striken [00:55] MikeJB, too fast for ya? lol [00:55] Wrong button!

[00:57] lol [00:57] MikeJB: /ignore *!*@* DCC Is what I am trying. [00:58] Wish empathy could ignore joins/leaves. [00:58] AshtonK: you'll probably want a real irc client for that purpose. [00:59] AshtonK: I use that in X-Chat. But it is a double edged sword. If someone in a big channel leaves while you are talking to them, you don't know. [00:59] i'm using firefox 3.5 on windows... [00:59] AshtonK, try xchat for irc [00:59] I'm rather light when it comes to IRC usage, I prefer having 1 program to do it all. [00:59] what is all the dcc stuff for [00:59] i have Wubi... [00:59] AshtonK, if you use a solid wallpaper and set your window to transparent, then set the text to match the wallpaper colour, they are ignored. [00:59] Now that's a real work around. [00:59] the Linux alongside Windows thing... [01:00] Ok so where is the GUI for Ubunutu server? [01:00] + [01:00] bbelt16ag: stupid spam. Ignore it [01:00] ubuntu__: uh, its a server. why would it have a gui? guis are for desktops [01:00] I need a few pointers tehn [01:00] ubuntu__, I don't know, but it is easy to add one if you need to. After install, you'd just have to sudo aptitude install x-window-system-core gnome-core (or gnome if you want all the bells and whistles of a full desktop environment). If you also want a gui login, then also install gdm. [01:00] Edgan: Only problem is that I might forget to turn back on DCC months from now if I need it. Besides, it's more the joins followed by quits/k-lines that's annoying. [01:00] I wanted to use it for file serving in the house [01:01] DCC SPAM ATTAKKKK [01:01] *sigh* [01:01] So how do i find out how to make folders and set acccess to them form my laptops? [01:02] <_schism_> anyone here know anything about the intel hda sound thingie? I have a laptop that I am running ubuntu on and cant get my internal mic to work and cant seem to find out anything on google and what I have found I dont understand anyway [01:02] ubuntu__: to make a directory, type "mkdir directoryname" [01:02] I'm new at this but have a clue as a DOS user from way back [01:02] LOL [01:02] ubuntu__: to check its permissions "ls -l" [01:02] Right, time to do some testing for Audacity, since I'm one of the few testers that actually have Windows 7. [01:02] _schism_: you need to use a loopback module iirc [01:02] ubuntu__, use makedir [01:02] Later all. [01:03] Ok [01:03] Audacity is junk for recording music, be warned. [01:03] hi room i need help with a Java issue [01:03] Lemme go play for a few.... BRB [01:03] ubuntu__: you'll see something like rwxr-xr-x or such. r = read, w = write, x = execute. first set is for owner, second for group, third for everyone else. owner and group are those two columns with names that come after the permissions bit [01:03] <_schism_> cg: whats a loopback module? a package or something else? [01:03] So rwxr sets permissions and stuff for access then. [01:03] anyone [01:04] I have no slue about Driver stuff [01:04] LOL [01:04] !ask oscar__ [01:04] ubuntu__: to change them, "chmod" is the command you want. i usually use numbers. r=4, w=2, x=1, so rwxr-xr-x = 755. i find the letter-based method of chmod'ing harder to remember [01:04] oscar__, what is the issue? [01:05] well it wont close java windows somereason [01:05] oscar__, are you triggering the event properly (i guess that is how close button works)? [01:05] hi all, i'm new to the channel. but i'm having some mayjor problems on my 9.04 server if ANYONE could possibly help. the problem has to do with php5 [01:06] Does anybody have any advice on how to share a server amongst a couple people so as to work on a group project making a website? I'd like to do it without giving them TOO much access to the config files, but I can't think of how to do it without giving them root. [01:06] im new with this linux [01:06] mlissner: sudo can give specic users specific access to specific commands.. depending on your needs [01:06] MLISSNER Im in the same oat [01:06] *boat [01:06] oscar__: you trying to hit the 'ok' button in the java eula screen? [01:07] Cued4, what is the problem? [01:07] in a chat room on a site [01:07] how do i logout just to the console and kill X [01:07] oscar__: Hmm. no idea on that then. [01:07] Dr_Willis: is there a good way to do this by adding them a certain group or something? [01:07] shadow98: stop the gdm service. [01:07] oscar__, did it work properly in other system where you are more familiar? [01:07] mlissner: no idea. ive rarely had to do that wort of work [01:07] cause I don't think it is related to Ubuntu... [01:08] Dr_Willis: is there anyway to do this via command...i thought there used to be a logout option to just console [01:08] windows xp but this laptop chraches on xp [01:08] crashes [01:08] tanjir, i'm having a problem with my php scripting... i reinstalled from 8.04 to 9.10. and now i keep getting an 'undefined' error on pages with upload button [01:08] shadow98: sudo service gdm stop -> kills X and goes to the console [01:09] ok [01:09] can i upgrade to another linux OS from this one [01:09] tanjir, http://75.136.124.202/undefined.jpg < if you look at that.. right besie where is says 'cancel' there should be a button that says 'browse' [01:09] test [01:09] test [01:09] perfect [01:09] oscar__: i wouldent recommend it. [01:09] why [01:09] oscar__: You want a system that works dont you? [01:09] * eremite is Hydrosis. Thanks for the heads up on IRC in terminal. Much better Dr_Willis [01:10] yes [01:10] oscar__: then i dont recommend you try that.. You could give us some more details. [01:10] Cued4, isn't it PHP related problem? [01:10] hello how do I change ulimit settings for a non-root user? [01:10] on what [01:10] I can do sudo bash -c "ulimit -n 1234" but it doesn't let me change it for a non-root user [01:11] oscar__: what are you trying to upgrade/change TO exactly and what do you have now? [01:11] tanjir, i've no clue ... see that's what i'm thinking. i was talking to someone and they said that i need to go back to 8.04 becasue the newer version of php5 is probably causing it... ... .. but. i ran php5 on 8.04? [01:11] --help [01:11] <_numbers> my screens are reversed. the right is primary but the left should be primary. (e.g. bios appears on left screen). how do i fix this?

I do not want to change the settings everytime I need to add special characters from other languages. Is there any shortcut keys that allow me to do this? [01:17] oscar__, then you don't have to uninstall anything [01:17] alt+f2 and type update-manager -d [01:17] tanjir, yeahhh i dont think thay're going to help haha [01:17] oscar__, sudo apt-get install update and then type sudo apt-get install upgrade [01:17] <_numbers> Dr_Willis: ah figured it out using nvidia-settings. thnx [01:17] tanjir, did you mean #php? [01:17] Hi, I'm trying to run World of warcraft using a script I found a french website of ubuntu http://pastebin.com/d7db6ed7d this should normally open a second x server and run WoW in it but when I try to run that script I only get a black screen than I get back to the first x.... I also get that in the terminal: http://pastebin.com/d48b61b7a Anyone got an idea? (by the way, sorry for the french comment in the script and everything...) [01:17] Cued4, yah... #php and ##php are same... you can at least ask if the newer version of PHP is the problem [01:18] can someone take a look at some strace output and help me figure out why some file open modes are failing - http://codepad.org/0NKWBlJH [01:18] Cued4, or is it based on javascript? [01:18] if I go to system > application > login window, prompt a small window with a couple of gdm settings, but nothing more! [01:18] tanjir, http://75.136.124.202/Cued4Audio < this is site [01:18] it's joomla. and jomsocial. so php [01:19] I have a bunch of h.264 files in m4v container... Is there any way to tag them? [01:19] gnome-art too cannot install gdm themes, the button is disabled... I wonder why?? [01:19] have a look at the source of that thing like it says, btw (in a browser that does NOT support javascript, like wget/curl), it's rather neat [01:19] Is anyone else unable to play ~40% of the flash videos you come across because the site claims you need to upgrade flash to version 10? Any way around this error? [01:20] Cued4, ohh... the button where it shows you the error, does it get generated from PHP or JScript? [01:20] cause it seems like JScript to me [01:20] user123, System -> Preferences -> Keyboard -> Layouts (tab, next to General tab) [01:20] powertool08, I have that problem sometimes. I have no idea what it is. That's what you get for free, I guess :D [01:21] izietto: the gdm in karmic was rewritten from scratch, and it doesn't really support themes yet (you can change some settings such as the wallpaper, but it is kind of pointless right now because any gdm updates will reset it to defaults) [01:21] Hydrosis: It really bugs me because its such a retarded error. I bet the video is encoded the same way, they are just trying to force an update. [01:21] NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. [01:21] ozzloy, thanks. Do you know if there is any shortcut keys to switch the layouts?

[01:44] anyone gotten the wireless in a Panasonic Toughbook CF-Y7 to work? I am having trouble. system claims to have connected to a wireless network, but there is no connection [01:44] * Dr_Willis hates wubi [01:44] .... [01:45] bbelt16ag: hmm? [01:45] bbelt16ag, try CC=gcc-4.3 ./configure ... [01:45] ChogyDan: i'm using the "livedisc" from my USB stick to post this: can i reinstall grub from there? [01:46] Will123456: somthing seems confuseing. You did a 'wubi' install? or a normal dual boot install? [01:46] Dr_Willis: no dual boot or wubi. just your standard install of a netbook ubuntu 9.10 [01:46] ok [01:46] how do I enable a vpn once it is setup? [01:46] Will123456: so this is a linux only machine then? [01:46] never had to do that before.. [01:46] Dr_Willis: yep [01:46] ok so after reading about upstart I can not figure out what files I need to edit to get stuff to start on boot [01:47] wow [01:47] it worked thanks Tr [01:47] bbelt16ag, yw ;) [01:47] bobbytek: are you setting up a server or client? [01:47] client [01:47] trying to use vnc [01:48] hcker2000: most are defined by /etc/init/*.conf files [01:48] I have a server, I created teh directory/folder now i wan to tuse my client to access it [01:48] bobbytek: vpn or vnc...? you've mentioned two different protocols, what exactly are you trying to do? === kn100 is now known as x-x [01:48] hcker2000: theres one service in /etc/init/ that activates the variouys sysv scriiots in /etc/rc2.d I think [01:48] how do i find out where it is [01:48] ??? [01:48] Will123456: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20from%20LiveCD [01:48] ubuntu__, what kind of server we are talking about here? === x-x is now known as kn100 [01:48] Ubuntu 9.10 [01:48] vnc into my work machine via a vpn connection [01:49] Dr_Willis, let me take a look in there [01:49] ubuntu__, that is the name of the operating system... are you talking about web server? [01:49] I wanted to use it for file stroage [01:49] bobbytek: ok, thought so, let's start with the vpn. Do you have it working? [01:49] Ubuntu server edition [01:49] i setup all the keys an everything [01:49] but how to I test? [01:49] I just installed it. [01:49] ubuntu__, i understand it is server edition... u r talking abt file server then? [01:49] are you using openvpn? [01:49] correct [01:49] thanks iflema :) and thanks to the other guys to helped too. i'll follow those instructions [01:50] ubuntu__, you can install 100s of different server in ubuntu 9.10 server edition :P [01:50] Will123456: that will reinstall grub from where you are... many not solve your problem [01:50] LOL... i want to find it from my laptop now. I dont know how... H he he he [01:50] ubuntu__: may be time to learn some linux basics. [01:51] ubuntu__: how did you access the server? [01:51] iflema: yeah, i'm hoping it'll work. if it doesn't then i'll come back and pester you guys ;) [01:51] I have the command book and was familiar with DOS [01:51] form the TEXT menu [01:51] yeason: yest [01:51] *from [01:51] * Dr_Willis has no idea what one means by 'text menu' [01:51] details on file server: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/samba-fileserver.html [01:51] bobbytek: ok, do you have a configuration file? [01:51] ubuntu__, details on file server: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/samba-fileserver.html [01:51] bobbytek: it should end in .ovpn [01:51] yeason: yes [01:51] Dr_Willis: My best guess is text menu = terminal [01:52] SAMBA IS INSTALLED [01:52] LOL [01:52] !info samba-doc | ubuntu__ [01:52] ubuntu__: samba-doc (source: samba): Samba documentation.

[01:52] ubuntu__, read the whole document... [01:52] OOOh fancy..... [01:52] THANK U [01:52] bobbytek: good, then to start the vpn connection you'll want to type sudo openvpn --config [01:52] ubuntu__: if you accessed your users home directories then the files are in /home/username/whatever or whever eles eyou defined the shares to be [01:52] !ot | esde [01:52] esde: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[01:53] okay, let me try [01:53] idc tbh [01:53] ubuntu__, sure [01:53] Ubuntu is for poor people. :P jk [01:54] these poor people have a rich and full user experience... =P [01:54] yeason, esde ran away :-/ [01:54] tanjir: oh well... was worth a try [01:55] ... /blind [01:55] what does it mean if vlc tells me my ffmpeg(libavcodec) installation lacks MPEG AAC Audio? [01:55] yeason, some people just likes upsetting others for no reason :P [01:55] aliciapg: means your ffmpeg binary was not compiled with aac support. [01:55] Dr_Willis: so how would i go about fixing this? [01:56] aliciapg: how did you install ffmpeg? [01:56] aliciapg: You could try the ffmpeg from medibuntu, or various ppa repos..or recompile from source to add all the 'what might not be legal' featurtes [01:57] Dr_Willis: i already have ffmpeg though [01:57] aliciapg: and as we said.. it may NOT have all the features compiled in.. [01:57] yeason, that seemed to work [01:57] thanks :) [01:57] bobbytek: np [01:57] so I have to leave the terminal open? [01:57] bobbytek: yea [01:58] Dr_Willis: but i don't understand how to get the other parts of it... [01:58] bobbytek: when you're done you can close the connection with +c [01:58] aliciapg: install ffmpeg from a different location that has the features.. or recompile it from source. [01:59] Dr_Willis: so i have to look up a location and hope it has the features i want? [01:59] aliciapg: or do some research... https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ffmpeg [02:00] _tanjir_ ok Im to teh workgroup part and it wont let me configure the workgroup.... do I typ something before "workgroup? [02:00] aliciapg: and the ffmpeg from medibutu proberly has all the features [02:01] HOWTO: Easily enable MP3, MPEG4, AAC, and other restricted encoding in FFmpeg [02:01] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1117283 [02:01] Dr_Willis: do you happen to have a link handy on how to get multi-threaded support for ffmpeg? I'd like to actually use my quad core [02:02] B. Installing the unstripped or extra libraries [02:02] yeason: not really. im just looking at teh ffmpeg wiki pages. [02:02] What is better to learn python or perl? [02:02] yeason: i recall enableing it when i compiled from source [02:02] gilgamesh_: i would say learn python first. [02:02] gilgamesh_: then learn perl [02:02] perl gets you laid [02:03] Dr_Willis: ok thx [02:03] Comal is for real men. [02:03] Dr_Willis: I might have to give up and give that a shot [02:03] Anyone set up Samba for file server ? [02:03] ubuntu__: theres 100000's of people useing samba. [02:03] if not 10x that... [02:03] I need to figure out how to change teh workgroup settings in the config [02:04] ubuntu__: wiorkgroup is like the first actual setting in the /etc/samba/smb.conf file... [02:04] edit file, change it.. restart the service.. done [02:04] I have https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/samba-fileserver.html pulled up, im just stuck.... [02:04] no reboot needed like in windows [02:04] edit the following key/value pairs in the [global] section of /etc/samba/smb.conf [02:04] change workgroup=whatever to whatever you want.... [02:05] What part of that is confuseing? [02:05] Its saying the file dir isnt there and i think i missed typing something [02:06] ubuntu__: then type stuff correctly... and use the tab key to complete file.path names [02:06] sudo vi /etc/samba/smb.conf [02:06] THANK U WILLIS [02:07] can anyone tell me what to do cause my username is hidden from Users and Groups menu === Sk8rbluscat is now known as SharkRules [02:07] although i can login normally [02:07] O k PERFECT.... its asking me for a new DIR [02:07] Question: Why does kubuntu have to handle networking in such a shitty way, why can't I ifconfig add eth# ????? [02:07] Hello [02:08] how can I find out the mac address of a bluetooth device that is paired with my laptop? [02:08] how can i unhide my username from "Users and Groups" menu? === SharkRules is now known as retard [02:09] Ok well I typed in workgroup and now it say insert at teh bottom of teh screen and wont react to input? === retard is now known as ErrorConsoleTwin [02:09] SAM_ are you using Windows? [02:09] you have to press ESC first... === ErrorConsoleTwin is now known as ErrorConsole-II [02:10] no [02:10] ubuntu__: you really SHOULD spend an hr or 2 learning some linux basics... [02:10] use networktools [02:10] ubuntu__: and learning the vi editor is also a good idea. or use nano. [02:10] ubuntu obviously [02:10] I would like to close my laptops lid, and let my computer remain running, or maybe just sleep the monitor [02:10] How do I do that? [02:10] well i guess thats one way to put a damper on there cookies make em register [02:10] ubuntu__: sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf instead of vi - if you cant handle vi [02:11] ubuntu__: learn vi [02:11] <_schism_> nano ftw! [02:11] !info vimtutor [02:11] Package vimtutor does not exist in karmic [02:11] I have a few books and I'm a ex DOS user so I'm just not used to the file structure of these things and the abreviations [02:11] !info vitutor [02:11] Package vitutor does not exist in karmic [02:11] I'm w/ _schism_ [02:11] <_schism_> nano reminds me of the old editors on the commodore 64. love it [02:12] Im used to GUI's and havent got my machines up to a stable performance level to begin C# and fiddlin around so I can contribute [02:12] ... [02:12] OK SO WHERE DO I GET THE PACKAGE? [02:12] okay, screen lets me connect and disconnect from a console.. how do I do the same thing in X ? [02:12] ubuntu__, nothing obvious in network tools... could you be more explicit? [02:12] In manager? [02:13] what's the equiv of shellutils on ububntu I can't find it in repo [02:13] aarcane: you don't [02:13] Umm... geez..... Your MAC adress is permanent to the BT device === ErrorConsole-II is now known as Sk8rbluscat [02:13] blakkheim, well, I have occasion to need to start an X application and then disconnect and leave it running. [02:14] SAM_In the book or under the battery it should say what i may be. [02:14] aarcane: unless you're running a full-on vnc connection (or something like that) that's not going to work [02:14] aarcane: are you sure there's no commandline alternative? [02:14] ubuntu__, nope [02:14] ubuntu__: thers no reason you couldent of installed the desktop version and used it as a fileserver [02:14] sam_: I don't know bluetooth tools, but here's a link to a forum post on using them in gnome [02:14] OK Thanks Willis [02:14] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=94713 [02:15] blakkheim, not yet. there's somewhat of a CLI, but it's lacking some of the GUI features. [02:15] hey [02:15] ubuntu__: i use my desktop m,achineas as local samba fileservers all the time [02:15] i need some help [02:15] aarcane: care to tell me what it is? [02:15] Ok when you pair it it should come up with the preferances and it may be in there.... [02:15] is there a password manager available for ubuntu [02:15] waqar: for your browser or whate exactly? [02:15] like to manage all the passwords that i have [02:15] thers all sorts of password kepper tools and stuff. but i dont use many of them [02:16] Dr_Willis, you may want to google ebox for a gui server solution for ubuntu [02:16] GRR why won't it install it [02:16] waqar: use a text file? [02:16] sounds like he went in nano and changed the rfcomm0 file [02:16] * Dr_Willis uses a little notebookl [02:16] how does that work [02:16] running x etc can be a security risk [02:16] Willis_ this learning curve has been huge. . . [02:16] blakkheim, I want to configure transcoding jobs in handbrake, and then let them run in the queue, but the queue won't run unless the GUI is running, and the CLI doesn't feature previews or queuing [02:16] it keeps saying No current or candidate version found for cfg2html-linux [02:16] <_schism_> what do you guys think about wicd, is it better than the one built into ubuntu? [02:16] sam_: i dont need to use the server editions. the desktop ed works fine for me [02:16] E_box? [02:16] waqar: I'd recommend keepassx [02:16] blakkheim-----PM me [02:16] _schism_: wicd works decently well for me last i tried it. [02:16] aarcane: handbrake [options] && handbrake [otheroptions] ? [02:16] !ebox > ubuntu__ [02:16] ubuntu__, please see my private message [02:16] waqar: no [02:17] ok [02:17] jd4200, is it good [02:17] aarcane: i use handbrake for multiple rips in screen all the time [02:17] Dr_Willis, fine, it is not considered good practice. If you are happy to take risks that is up to you [02:17] ubuntu__: you are the one that decided to use the 'server' editiion intead of the desktop ed.. Go install the Desktop ed and have a nice gui if tyou want [02:17] <_schism_> dr_willis I have problems with my connection dropping when I am moving files around my network and have read that it helps with that. have you noticed it helping with that? [02:17] Oh yeah, of course! the fucking /etc/network/interfaces example is wrong [02:17] I should have known [02:17] sam_: yea My home lan of 3 pc's is in danger of my dog haxxoring it. :) === ben is now known as Guest61059 [02:18] waqar: One of the best I've used (and it has many great reviews): cross platform, and very strong encryption http://www.keepassx.org/ [02:18] DR. WIllis _ http://www.ubuntugeek.com/install-gui-in-ubuntu-server.html [02:18] blakkheim, except that I like to actually preview my transcodes, and also I can't be half way through one transcode and add another one. [02:18] ubuntu__: install a gui then if you want. [02:18] ubuntu__: sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop [02:18] OK! [02:18] if I remember correctly [02:18] aarcane: i'm not familiar with what you mean by preview, but you can write a script to do more than one and add it to a queue [02:19] ubuntu__: but you may be beter off just installing a desktop edition then. [02:19] ubuntu__: less room for propblems that way [02:19] blakkheim, I like to look at the preview and make sure the crop detect is accurate, and the proper deinterlacing options are checked. [02:19] ubuntu__: actually it should be sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop-environment, and Dr_Willis is right [02:19] Whats beter to start GNOME or KDE when i do jump into this? [02:19] ubuntu__: you can instgall both.. so it dosent matter. [02:20] aarcane: can't you configure all that on the commandline? i've seen it in the options [02:20] hi if i want to compile and install a kernel other than the one ubuntu uses ( for a school class ) will i need different kernel headers? im thinknig this is my problem [02:20] Ok I will try both and see where this takes me. I really appreciate your advice and insight [02:21] 0exit [02:22] I have a few books LUNIX FOR DUMMIES (old redhat) LINUX COMMAND (instant Referance, Sybex 2005) and C# an introduction I picked up for about 7 a piece. [02:22] What does it mean when apt-get upgrade says packages have been held back, and what should I do to upgrade them? [02:22] Does anyone happen to know of a generic gui for joysticks? [02:22] nunix? [02:22] Mike_lifeguard: aptitude full-upgrade [02:22] what is a lunix? === other_ is now known as heaviside [02:22] How I would set up samba http://trac.ebox-platform.com/screenshots/30 [02:23] blakkheim: thanks - but why would they be 'held back'? [02:23] hed to install the latest version.. [02:23] wow [02:23] hey wassup ppl [02:23] Mike_lifeguard: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [02:23] Mike_lifeguard: i'm not an ubuntu dev, don't ask me. they have "their own" way of doing things that no other distro does [02:24] [02:24] Ok I went and ran apt-get install GNOME and it says that teh variable lib package is locked and is asking me if I'm ROOT? What do i type? [02:24] ubuntu__: prefix it with sudo [02:24] OK [02:24] Mike_lifeguard: because the dependencies have changed, and you need to install new packages [02:24] Gees [02:24] ubuntu__: also gnome is lowercase [02:24] ... or remove [02:24] ubuntu__: you can re-run the previous command with: sudo !! [02:25] ardchoille: then it will error about GNOME being in caps, so.. [02:25] blakkheim: Ah, good point [02:25] OK NO CAPs [02:25] ^ [02:25] ubuntu__: whats he exact package name/command you are trying to install? [02:25] ubuntu__: and linux IS case senesetive [02:25] blakkheim, it's confusing and inconvenient. [02:25] hello can some one help me [02:25] with some problems that i have installing backtrack 4 final [02:25] Caps are bad..... lol [02:26] Do you have a Windows XP pro cd key? [02:26] NO KEY [02:26] aarcane: it works, you might want to take the time to learn a bit more about the application. that's up to you. [02:26] ubuntu__: improper spelling is bad.

I just wnat to use Samba [02:28] i remember seeing an app somewhere that would allow you to prevent sleep for a specific amount of time, for example if you want to watch a video, anyone know what I'm talking about? [02:28] Im a fresh learner [02:29] ubuntu__: and to do that you need to learn linux basics.. so.. dive in :) [02:29] I'm capturing home movies from my digital camcorder under Ubuntu, using kino. It works! But it's making .dv files, which nothing seems to be able to play. Is there a way to convert .dv to .avi? [02:29] I got some basic books and hav been reading and toying all week. [02:29] ubuntu__: of course the question is 'what is this server serveing up' - Your home videos? or somtjing more critical. [02:29] ubuntu__: that's a good start for sure, but you may want to try configuring things through the cli rather than *relying* on a gui for everything [02:30] ubuntu__: it's good to have options :) [02:30] Yeah music and videos so we can free up space on HDD to use 3D Parametric solid modeling and CNC programing programs [02:30] ubuntu__: so its going to be a small home lan fileserver. [02:30] Yeah about 500GB [02:31] * Dr_Willis has more then 500gb in wallpaper..

[02:57] lamahr, sorry I can'T help, searching for hardware model in the forum is often a good way to go for this stuff which is why I offred [02:57] don't know what to do more [02:57] lamahr, di dyou try the maker's website ? [02:58] @lamahr Sometimes you can compile a driver just using the .dll included in the driver. I'm not sure how to do it, but that would be a good thing to google.

[03:01] Well, it is Gaim Internet Messengere [03:01] Messenger* [03:01] fire_princes: gaim is now pidgin [03:01] ok [03:01] but do I have to register somewhere [03:02] Because it doesnt wanna work. [03:02] called pidgin now I beleive , not sure you need to register anywwhee, yo probably need an email account and to log on to some network for it to work [03:02] email account? [03:02] fire_princes, there is a pretty big #pidgin channel, you might want to ask there [03:03] lamahr see http://linuxtv.org/ [03:03] ok [03:03] fire_princes, sorry I have no idea how pidgin work click on this > #pidgin [03:03] ok thanks [03:03] ive recently exerienced ubuntu is getting slower. Karmic was fine until two upgrades ago. Trying xubuntu now. But it feels slow too. Thinking of switching to debian because of this. Anyone noticed something similar? [03:03] i use pidgin [03:03] tnks guys [03:03] how does one disable password on logout prompt? [03:03] abojuser: xubuntu is just as bloated. switching to a debian minimal install is a good idea if you need more speed. [03:04] tuv0k, look in menu > system> admin > login window [03:04] mm [03:04] thx [03:04] Pelo, that aint even close [03:04] abojuser: anything specific you can point to? Im just curious [03:04] hi all i am wanting to know it i can use ubuntu tweek on kubuntu [03:05] nobody is chating there [03:05] meowkbuntu, of course [03:05] meowkbuntu: the gnome-relateed parts won't work but the rest should [03:05] tuv0k, you want to boot straight into ubuntu withough doing a passrword login ? that is exactly where [03:05] Pelo, not even what I asked [03:05] !ubuntu tweek [03:05] how does one disable password on logout prompt? [03:05] !ubuntu tweek [03:05] meowkbuntu, you have your answer yes [03:06] the word is tweak [03:06] tuvOk: do you mean disable password on login prompt? because you don't need to enter the password to logout (unless other users are also logged in) [03:06] NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. [03:07] where do I register for hot mail? [03:07] hotmail.com [03:07] fire_princes: hotmail.com [03:07] thanks [03:07] fire_princes, can we recommend gmail.com instead ? [03:07] fire_princes: but that question doesn't really apply much on this irc channel [03:07] hmm.. in karmic is there a way to have the cpu frequency scaler gnome panel applet not require root pass all the time? [03:07] lol, asking how to register to a Microsoft service in Linux IRC channel [03:07] the instructs in wiki appear to be for previous versions [03:08] hmm [03:08] Is g-mail beather? [03:08] i liked the gui in ubuntu and the atmosphere around it, ie forums. But now my 512 M ram seem to be insufficiant [03:08] well i will try it [03:08] fire_princes, in many ways [03:08] ok thanks [03:09] Callum_, let's face it , hotmail is synonymous with free online email , it's just a fact of life [03:09] abojuser: try debian instead. it takes a little longer to figure out, but since you have used ubuntu you should be able to easily use it. I myself have 512mb ram and ubuntu ran quickly for about a month, but then seemed to get gradually slower. switching to debian a few months ago really helped [03:09] abojuser: yeah, i'd do a minimal install or a debian netinstall [03:09] abojuser: you should also look into using a window manager with no desktop environment [03:09] fire_princes, microsoft has done it's best to encourage hotmail users ot use window products , gmail doesn't play silly games like that [03:09] abojuser: and if you use debian with gnome the gui will be about the same, with the only difference being the default system background and colors (which you can easily change) [03:10] thiemster: actually ubuntu adds some bloat to a vanilla gnome install [03:10] abojuser: alternatively, you could use the xfce or lxde desktops, both are much quicker on slower hardware [03:11] NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. [03:11] sigh ... [03:11] so anyone know if there is an application similar to ubuntu tweak for kubuntu [03:12] meowkbuntu, ubuntu tweak doesn'T do much [03:12] meowkbuntu: You should ask in #kubuntu [03:12] i hate it how this channel always stops ppl talking for no reason [03:12] does anyone have a copy of the manual for pc-lint or flexelint? [03:12] ardchoille: they dont know anything in there atm [03:12] meowkbuntu, there is an idiot spamming the whole network, [03:12] meowkbuntu: Well, this cjannel isn't the place to ask for kubuntu support [03:13] how does one disable password on logout prompt? [03:13] arisi: http://www.gimpel.com/html/manual.pdf [03:14] ardchoille, we'll provide help if we can ther are several ppl here right not that use kubuntu and xubuntu , this is just hte main channel for *buntu [03:14] ardchoille: i'm not really just wanting to know if there is a similar application for kubuntu [03:14] arisi: this came from a quick google search that said it was only exerpts, but i opened it and it seemed to be fairly complete [03:14] *ubuntu = Kubuntu [03:14] tuv0k, how did you get a logout prompt in the first place ? [03:14] ok I regestered [03:14] tuv0k: fwiw, Ive never had to enter a pass to logout, login yes [03:14] fire_princes, congradulations [03:15] ChogyDan: maybe tuvOk means that they have to enter a password to logout if there are other users logged in at the same time [03:15] ChogyDan: as I know, at least for me, this is so [03:15] now what? [03:15] fire_princes: now email some people [03:16] Can I have some help with something? [03:16] NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now.

I think Kino is savaging the data as it brings it down. I just want to get the raw video file. [03:30] wad,are you running gnome ? [03:30] Pelo, yep, normal Ubunt. [03:30] Ubuntu, even. [03:31] wad, try this, open a nautilus windows, goto edit > preferences , last tab support, inthe first section, the fourth one listed photos, tell it to open a folder , instead of launching kino or whatever [03:31] I know this will sound trollish, but *is* there a working text editor on Linux that doesn't take a week to learn? [03:31] Pelo, alrightey. [03:31] excuse me, Ubuntu [03:31] fluggo gedit or nano [03:31] gedit == broken, will frequently paste into a random area of the document [03:32] nano == decent, was hoping for something GUI-ish [03:32] wad if you plug this camera in with usb , you should be able to access it as a mounted drive somewhere, just not sure where if nautius doesn,t do it [03:32] but if I have to take to the command line to get an editor that works, so be it [03:32] It's firewire (IEEE 1394) [03:33] Is there a way to restart X server without logging out?

[03:36] Pelo Sorry it opens a PM window so when i respond it is a pm [03:37] kn1fe, try asking in #hardware maybe [03:37] kn1fe: If you're in the US, the Dell Mini 10v is nice (linked from dell.com/ubuntu ). System76 and Zareason have nice ones too. [03:37] Awesome3000, it was /notice , suppose to send message to the dest.

I've heard that the z series of atom processors uses less power though? [03:41] Hey, I wonder if there is a way to use dd to grab the raw video data off the tape? I can go through the /dev/dv1394 device, maybe. [03:41] kn1fe: I don't have my notes handy, but the various Dell Mini 10 models use different Intel chipsets, with wildly differening support for Linux in their graphics. [03:41] wad this is a tape camera ? I thought it was flash [03:41] kn1fe: hence me pointing you at dell.com/ubuntu , which I believe links to one of the better ones [03:41] Pelo: tape. [03:41] wad, might want to ask in ##linux also [03:42] Good idea. :) [03:42] kn1fe: asus eeepc 1201n [03:42] wad -- what are you trying to pull off tape? [03:42] fluggo, raw video data [03:42] wad, or maybe in #ffmpeg the ppl there might know how to record off the camera [03:42] wad: dvgrab will do it [03:42] fluggo, I tried using Kino to get the videos, but it's horrible. [03:43] you have to sudo chmod a+r /dev/raw1394, but it will do it [03:43] I did that already. :) [03:43] ah; bad results? [03:44] Ah, dvgrab look like exactly the tool I want! [03:44] thanks, fluggo! [03:44] np, don't forget the chmod thing [03:45] crap, java just went 100% cpu on me ... [03:46] I'm trying to swap out /etc/X11/xorg.conf, [do something like reload or restart X server?], then have my other xorg.conf be the active one, but I don't want to be logged out. What should I be doing? [03:47] blakkheim: That does look pretty sweet, but I already have a Macbook (C2D). Was more looking or a toy I could take on trips and play with when I'm home. [03:48] kn1fe: eeepc 1005ha then? [03:48] blakkheim: I've been looking at that as a possibility. [03:48] blakkheim: The battery life looks incredible, which would be nice. [04:01] Will ubuntu on a Asus Eee pc 100he support SSD hd? [04:01] 1000he [04:02] microhaxo: yes. The Eee was designed to run Linux. === NxTitle is now known as NxTitle890123456 [04:02] I know on windows it works fine, but i wasn't sure if ubuntu 9.10 supported the drivers perfectly === NxTitle890123456 is now known as NxTitle [04:02] Just dont want to pay 130.00 for a SSD to have it run sub par because of drivers. [04:02] microhaxo: The interface is identical to that of a traditional hard drive. [04:02] Nice [04:03] Think its worth it getting a 40gb SSD for my netbook? [04:03] And since the EeePC was designed to be compatible with Linux, everything --even wireless-- works out of the box. [04:03] yea i have 9.10 running right now. Very happy with it. [04:03] even bluetooth worked out of the box. [04:04] microhaxo: unless you are using it as your main computer, 40GB is pretty big for a netbook. [04:04] well, i dont want to run out :| [04:04] microhaxo: When I had my AA1, I would use sshfs to store all my files on my desktop, but still access them on my desktop. [04:04] ubuntu already takes up ~4gb or so [04:05] microhaxo: I would spend the money on a portable hard drive, if I were you. [04:05] why? [04:05] i dont want more storage, i want faster performance. [04:05] I have a 160gb in it right now that came with it. [04:05] SSDs don't necessarily perform any faster than hard drives. [04:06] They tend to boot faster, because they have faster read times, but they also have slower write times. [04:06] Not according to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FloAm4fFC8&feature=player_embedded === Bwaah is now known as Bwaah|Butthurt [04:06] microhaxo: Oh, so you have a hard drive in there right now? [04:06] yes [04:07] microhaxo: that YT video does not address all use cases. [04:08] True, i wont be moving or writing large file [04:08] s [04:08] microhaxo: +1 to mneptok's comment. You won't be able to notice a difference in performance with an SSD vs a HDD [04:08] :| [04:08] oh [04:08] I just wanted a faster boot and faster load times [04:08] it takes ~4 seconds to load up swiftfox. [04:10] microhaxo: Also, I'm not sure about EeePCs, but with my AA1 that I had, there wasn't a standard drive slot in it. it was something like a PCI card that the SSD used. Idk about EeePCs, but you may want to check before investing any money in it. [04:11] I checked the back panel comes off and i see a 2.5" hd in place. [04:11] Reminder: Do not visit the URL in the MSG/DCC spam. It will cause your browser to send more of it. [04:12] microhaxo: Ultimately, it is your decision. If you think a couple seconds is worth the money to get the new drive, then by all means go ahead. [04:12] I wish i could use one with a ssd so i could see the difference [04:12] microhaxo: i use an ssd, it's insanely fast [04:12] oh what type of computer? [04:12] microhaxo: netbook [04:13] what brand of ssd? [04:13] microhaxo: kingston [04:13] blakkheim: size? [04:13] microhaxo: 64gb [04:13] So in your opinion well worth the upgrade? [04:14] hey, what do i need to do after editing grub.cfg? [04:14] microhaxo: definitely, it's the biggest improvement in a single hardware component i've ever seen [04:14] blakkheim: Does it help battery life any or is it about the same? [04:14] microhaxo: it adds about 30 mins to battery but my battery is old so it'd probably be better on a new system [04:14] ae86-drifter1: You're not supposed to edit grub.cfg directly... it won't hurt anything as long as you don't have any errors, but when you update, your changes will be overwritten. [04:14] One visit to the URL in the spam causes spam in #freenode, #gentoo, #wrongplanet, and here, so it's important nobody click on it. [04:15] blakkheim: Thanks for the info. I'll buy a 32gb version. [04:15] undecim, so i have edited grub.cfg just to change around some names of menu items, what should i do now? [04:15] ae86-drifter1: Though if you are just trying to test a change before editing the files in /etc/grub.d/, all you have to do is reboot [04:16] undecim, i edited /boot/grub/grub.cfg [04:16] ae86-drifter1: yeah. As soon as you upgrade, grub.cfg will be overwritten based on whats in /etc/default/grub amd /etc/grub.d/* [04:17] ae86-drifter1: Right now, you don't need to do anything -- grub will read the new config and use it. If you want to make the changes permanent, you will need to edit some of those files in /etc/ [04:17] undecim, well can u please tell me the correct file to edit? [04:18] ae86-drifter1: 1 sec... [04:18] ae86-drifter1: what were the entries you were changing (Ubuntu or windows or something else?) [04:19] undecim, it actually will not let me save it with sudo gedit, it says its a rad only disk.. [04:19] ae86-drifter1: grub.cfg? [04:19] undecim, i was editing the entry for windows vista as there were two, but one changing to "acer recovery partition" [04:20] undecim, yes [04:20] ae86-drifter1: Let me take a loot at the grub config files, and I'll tell you how to change it like you want so that it will be a permanent change. [04:22] undecim, im using grub 1.97 [04:23] ae86-drifter1: Yeah. that's the grub version that uses grub.cfg [04:23] undecim, yeah i thought it was > v2 but i was wrong [04:24] ae86-drifter1: 1.97 is called "Grub2" [04:24] ae86-drifter1: the old version was 0.97 or so [04:25] undecim, no its not, its called grub 1.97, its a beta version for v2.0 [04:25] ae86-drifter1: Are the two windows entries exactly the same? [04:25] undecim, mate forget it [04:26] youre more of a noob then me [04:26] ive done it already [04:26] ae86-drifter1: well, if you're interested, the file you need to edit to make the change permanent is /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober [04:27] undecim, or you could do it the proper way and use grub-mkconfig [04:27] undecim, thanks anyway === Bwaah|Butthurt is now known as FatAlbert [04:30] ae86-drifter1: grub-mkconfig won't make any changes. In fact, it will overwrite grub.cfg. === Nightw0lf is now known as Nightwolf [04:31] undecim, i understand, it will build a new grub.cfg based on the config files i have already edited, my problem was that it wouldnt let me save it, i was just after a quick answer, but the problem is solved already [04:31] ae86-drifter1: okay. [04:31] i forgot the command to save grub.conf thats all [04:31] ae86-drifter1, you needed to open said file with sudo [04:32] ae86-drifter1: so you edited /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober? [04:32] Pele, like i said previousl sudo doesnt even let you save it, you need to use the grub-mkconfig, thats the only way to build the grub.cfg.. [04:32] undecim, yes, i did already, it tells you that file u need to edit in the grub.cfg.. [04:33] its fixed hey , never mind its perfect now [04:33] ae86-drifter1, in grub two the file you edit with sudo is /etc/default/grub , then you run update-grub also with sudo , it makes theproper edits to grub.conf which you are not suppose to edit manualy [04:35] is there a way to allow certain users to SSH in to my machine from the local network in my house and allow other users to SSH in to my machine from the internet? [04:37] can UI buttons (lke OK, etc) be resized? [04:37] LtHummus, using keys it's most likely possible.. are you behind a router? [04:37] LtHummus: I'm pretty sure it's possible to set options in sshd on a per-user basis. [04:37] should all new nvidia geforce cards work fine in debian, including dual monitors? [04:38] infid: this is not a debian channel [04:38] sorry i meant ubuntu [04:38] LtHummus: yes I am behind a router and I'm going to open it to the world, but I'd only like certain users to log in from the outside [04:38] Barridus: you can change the font size, which will do that [04:38] did I just reply to myself? hahah Out_Cold, undecim: yes I am behind a router member:and I'm going to open it to the world, but I'd only like certain users to log in from the outside [04:39] * undecim consults the sshd_config manpage [04:39] haha do you want the other users to have their own username on your box? [04:39] Barridus: under System->Preferences->Appearance, Fonts tab, "Application font" [04:39] I am using my machine for a media center so I have a main user that is logged in by default (with a relatively insecure password) and I have my personal account that I use for admin and want that to be the only account to log in from outside my LAN [04:40] I know I can allow/deny groups, but it'd be nice if I can allow/deny groups based on IP [04:40] What is importance certificate in synaptic [04:40] ? [04:40] hi all [04:40] i am setting up ubuntu for my mom, a long time windows user, and i want to make it real easy for her.. is there a way i can add the common icons to the desktop? Computer, Home, Trash? [04:41] !newuser | osirisx11_ [04:41] !newusers | osirisx11_ [04:41] osirisx11_: documentation is to be found at http://help.ubuntu.com and http://wiki.ubuntu.com - General linux documentation: http://www.tldp.org - http://rute.2038bug.com [04:41] LtHummus, i suggest using a key pair if you open it up to the outside.. then disable ssh password for your sshd_config [04:42] Hi to all posted a msg last night about 9.10 / 64 bit are all the installed aps 64 bit [04:42] Out_Cold: yeah I know I really should set that up.....i guess i have nothing else to do tonight :) [04:42] !ssh [04:42] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage.

[04:43] thanks for your help Out_Cold [04:43] Dimoutlook: I think the answer is "most" [04:43] brijith: thanks! [04:43] osirisx11_:I mean help you [04:43] osirisx11_:oky [04:43] What's the kde equivilent of 'gksudo gedit'? [04:43] osirisx11_:are from that that system ? [04:44] ? [04:44] canthus13, kdesudo kate [04:44] LtHummus, if you are using putty to log in there is some putty key gen steps to do [04:44] thanks.

[04:44] Flare-Laptop: i am not a new user, i am a user for a few years, and i can't think of where this setting would be, and i don't see it in the documentation.

[04:45] Out_Cold: that's what I plan on doing ;) [04:45] thanks again for your help [04:45] Dimoutlook: fantastic to hear [04:45] osirisx11_:take gconf-editor [04:46] Flare-Laptop: i am on it right now, i need to make it as friendly as possible to smooth the transition [04:46] fluggo bye bye windoze 9.10 is the only OS for me now, have to run take care [04:47] brijith: thanks, you think there is some settings in there to show common icons on the desktop? [04:47] osirisx11_: Ahh ok [04:47] fluggo, looks like gnome-color-chooser is what i need, it allows you to shrink the buttons further beyond just the font. thanks for the advice though. [04:47] osirisx11_:yes , in Gconf-editor go to apps>nautilus>desktop [04:48] brijith: works perfect!! thanks! [04:49] osirisx11_:pleasure to help you . :) [04:50] how can i install a login theme? documentation references an install button in the System->Login Screen program, i am on karmic 9.10 and i do not see that functionality. i have downloaded a tar.gz i want to use for the login theme. [04:51] Is there any way I can have my wallpaper centered but on both monitors, if i'm running a spanned dual monitor setup? [04:52] osirisx11_, what version of ubuntu? [04:53] petsounds: 9.10 [04:54] i have an integraded nvidia geforce card that i set up when i installed ubuntu but i just bought a pci-e nvidia geforce. Do i have to install new drivers? lshw seems to detect it fine [04:54] osirisx11_, ok. you don't change GDM. you can find some hacks with how to do this but it's not recommended. [04:55] petsounds: so i MUST have that brown login screen? I see lots of themes on art.gnome [04:56] infid, i don't think you need to install a new nvidia driver. the driver gets all the nvidia boards [04:56] sweet [04:56] osirisx11_: If you want, there is a way to log in as the GDM user and change the background. [04:56] hey [04:57] whoever decided to remove the theme ability in the new gdm for ubuntu is stupid [04:57] osirisx11_: basically, you log out, go to a terminal, sudo su to the gdm user, set the DISPLAY variable, and then launch gnome-control-center [04:57] undecim, petsounds: http://art.gnome.org/themes/gdm_greeter why are all of these here if i can't use them? [04:57] and i would love to see the valid reason why this was done? [04:57] if i plug a second monitor in to my video card, do i have to reboot ubuntu for it to detect it? [04:57] all other distros dont seem to be affects by this, its just ubuntu devs appeared to have removed it. [04:57] osirisx11_: The Ubuntu devs decided to break that functionality in 9.10 [04:58] undecim: thank you [04:58] osirisx11_: exactly why is beyond my comprehension... [04:58] undecim: well i haven't told my mom this is even possible yet so it is okay :) [04:58] osirisx11_: lol. Well, like I said, you can change your background, theme, etc. [04:58] undecim, osirisx11_: GDM2 is a rewrite, it's a GNOME thing, not an Ubuntu thing. It just doesn't have thatfunctionality yet, they didn't 'break' it [04:59] osirisx11_, because that's for previous version of ubuntu which is using usplash and karmic now is using xsplash [04:59] Flannel: oh, so it was the gnome devs... I should have guessed it. [04:59] undecim: yes, how do i do that? i logout.. and how do i get to a terminal from the login screen? set the display variable to what? [04:59] petsounds: thank you [05:00] osirisx11_: after you "sudo su -u gdm" you need to run "export DISPLAY=:0" [05:00] osirisx11_: then you can run apps in that terminal, and they should show up on the GDM screen. [05:00] how do i get to a shell from login screen? [05:00] osirisx11_: ctrl+alt+f1 [05:00] oh, ctrl-alt-f1? [05:00] cool [05:01] With a little more work, you can also get conky or other apps running on your gdm screen. [05:01] wow... i didnt know that about gdm :o that's pretty cool! [05:02] With a little more work, you can also get conky or other apps running on your gdm screen. << hmm i never knew that. [05:03] conky would be cool :) [05:03] thanks [05:03] i'll give it a shot [05:03] morphix: I forget where exactly, but somewhere in /usr/ is a folder for .desktop files that gdm autostarts. [05:03] /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow/ [05:04] so you create a .desktop file for conky and put it there [05:05] Only caveat is that if you want conky to have the same settings for both your desktop and gdm, you need to configure it in /etc/conky/conky.conf instead of .conkyrc [05:10] is there anyway to override passwd complaining that 'my password is too short' [05:10] LtHummus: Set the password while root [05:10] LtHummus: for example "sudo passwd lthummus" [05:10] LtHummus, change it from the shell ' sudo passwd username' [05:10] thanks undecim sloopy [05:10] np [05:10] it's been awhile since I've used linux :) [05:13] bacon [05:14] AllHailTheGeek: Must you do that? [05:14] AllHailTheGeek: Thanks for breaking the silence (?) [05:14] heh [05:14] AllHailTheGeek: Why'd you trigger my highlights? [05:16] canthus13, lol [05:16] I have it on hiloght too [05:16] er [05:16] highlight [05:17] Hmm... there is only one package in the repos that mentions bacon... [05:17] Heh. [05:17] mixal [05:17] lol [05:17] bacon++ [05:17] And it's used as a name. [05:17] " This package contains a modified version of Darius Bacon's Mixal implementation." [05:17] undecim: Jono? [05:17] Should this be filed as a bug? [05:17] undecim, you only need one, along with a tomato package and mayo++ [05:17] * AllHailTheGeek runs around freenode, screaming bacon. [05:18] lol [05:18] * canthus13 pokes at AllHailTheGeek.

[05:25] Flare-Laptop: are you sure that it's a valid cursor theme? [05:26] i have dual monitors but nvidia-settings seems to put my the gnome panel stuff on my right monitor, even though i can drag to the left. is that the best i can do ? [05:26] undecim: I'm pretty sure I am, I got it off gnome-look.org [05:26] Flare-Laptop: Which theme (post a link to it) [05:26] undecim: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Ecliz+(port)?content=76605&PHPSESSID=c9bf700c13006149bd93cfd4c92d104e [05:26] undecim: That one [05:27] Flare-Laptop: half or full size? [05:27] Full [05:27] i positioned my right monitor to be 'right of' and my left monitor to be 'absolute' yet my right monitor keeps getting the gnome panel. what gives? [05:28] nvidia-settings seems to put them both as 'absolute' after i restart gdm [05:29] How can I open hwp file in ubuntu [05:29] devunt, do you know what the original program for that file is ? [05:30] Pelo // Hangul word processer === KamusHadenes is now known as Kamus_Away [05:30] devunt, have you tried opening it with open office ? [05:31] Flare-Laptop: I'm getting the same problem...

[05:31] undecim: Bug? [05:32] devunt, try with evince maybe [05:32] yes. [05:32] If so, it's most likely with the cursor file.. [05:32] thank you. [05:32] undecim: Alright [05:32] Flare-Laptop: Each of the creators package their files individually on gnome-look, so it can get annoying sometimes. [05:33] devunt, evince worked ? [05:33] ah ok [05:33] hmm. [05:33] wait.. [05:34] openoffice would have worked on a hwp made before 1997 , they made changes to the format afterwards [05:35] evince say, that file is "application/x-ole-storage" [05:35] devunt, it won't open it ? [05:35] yes. I won't open it. [05:35] devunt, you speak korean ? [05:36] yes. I'm Korean.

[05:54] EastDallas: yea, i'm gonna boot a live usb flash drive, since its on a netbook, like i said, i was more just wondering if the installer was available in some way after *ubuntu is already installed [05:55] devunt, I think you downloaded the full version of hangul office, I'm not gooing to help you install that [05:55] Compiz is that the cube desktop thingy? [05:55] @JamezQ try rhythmbox [05:55] JamezQ: I believe you just need to install the package GDM or do you want the KDE login screen? (for kubuntu) [05:55] JamezQ, i've heard you CAN get iTunes running, but i always just used Jamendo and Magnatune [05:55] @Akkernight Yes, Compiz is the cube desktop thingy! [05:56] JamezQ: Kubuntu uses KDE, not Gnome [05:56] Pelo: only full package in Hangul site [05:56] @EastDallas where do you get the idea i use Kubuntu? [05:56] I use Ubuntu and installed the KDE-desktop [05:56] JamezQ: @east, no I installed both XFCE and KDE but now I get the XFCE and not the cooler looking GNOME bootscreen [05:56] and XFCE-Desktop [05:56] devunt, do you still have that ubuntu forum post I gave you earlier ? , with the link you could not download ? [05:56] exactly [05:57] i installed them [05:57] JamezQ: if you use KDE, you use kubuntu [05:57] yes. [05:57] I stated with Gnome. [05:57] when i set up dual-monitors in the nvidia-settings, my gnome-panel appears on my 'right' monitor. is this supposed to happen because i can't get it to appear on my left monitor at all [05:57] O.o [05:57] JamezQ: you just need to make sure the package gdm is installed [05:57] does anyone know what the "Account Information Resolver (winbind)" service is, and can i safely disable it?? [05:57] EastDallas: I'm just the kind of person that tries to find different ways of doing things just for the heck of it [05:57] Hey Everyone [05:57] always tinkering [05:57] can anyone point me to a good tutorial for installing lighttpd? I'm trying to setup a webui for rtorrent [05:58] crawler, do not disable windbind it allows you to login to your computer if I recall correctly [05:58] devunt, ? [05:58] I have a nasy virus on my windows boot. Can I copy infected files into my Ubuntu partition and then replace them on a new install of Windows safely? [05:58] http://paste.ubuntu.com/356400/ [05:58] Lancer_: if they aren't infected [05:58] rpm packages [05:58] Pelo: thanks, is there any site where i can find more information on the ubuntu services? [05:59] @Lancer_ I have heard you can clean windows viruses from linux [05:59] I have used the Virus Scanner utility from ubuntu, i deleted all the files, but my windows still acts infected [05:59] devunt, that first link I gave you ? step two tells you how to convert an rpm package into a deb packag you can install in ubuntu , you can try converthing the rpm with that [05:59] crawler, google [05:59] I cannot open any .exe's there and it automatically shuts my firewalls off on windows [05:59] ok. I'll trying that [05:59] Lancer_: what do you mean by 'acts infected'? [05:59] thanks. [06:00] Lancer_: ok [06:00] devunt, do you know how to use wine ? [06:00] Pelo: i used google, couldn't find anything about the winbind service...that's why i'm in here asking :-) [06:00] devunt, because I also found a link for the hangul viewer 2002 but its for windows, you might beable torun it with wine and view your file with that [06:00] ive installed audacious, imported winamp eq settings, but it sounds bad/different compared to winamp on my windows (first day using ubuntu), why does it not sound the same? [06:01] can someone help me to get my ubuntu to boot? grub cannot find my root partition === fafa is now known as fafa_test [06:01] yes. but hangul installer and program ins't execute in wine [06:01] @nixjr would installing PulseAudio help? that's what I use [06:01] crawler, google for winbind ubuntu [06:01] devunt, oh, ok , I'll let you get on with it then [06:02] Lancer_, im open to any suggestions, i have no idea what pulseaudio is but ill find out, thanks [06:02] Lancer_: there's a registry key that will run a file everytime you try to execute an exe file, it probably needs to be removed. I believe it's Hkey\Local Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Run [06:03] nixjr, pulseaudio kind of reroutes a bunch of differnet ways apps try to use audio into one way so everything works together nicely with alsa and the rest [06:03] is there a way to ignore specific packages on ubuntu (8.10) id like to manage firefox updates through ubuntuzilla [06:03] @EastDallas Okay, so you're saying go to regedit, delete that key, restart and check if it works? [06:04] Lancer_: do you know which virus you have? [06:04] Lancer_, EastDallas, that key is to run startup apps [06:04] Pelo: if you don't know - don't answer [06:04] only when windows starts [06:04] Pelo, upon checking my audacious settings, i see its using pulseaudio output plugin currently, but there are other options there like that alsa you mentioned, is there a "best" or not? [06:04] no matter what i do my gnome panel ends up on the right monitor, instead of the left monitor in my dual monitor set up! it's insane, i can tell it that my monitors are backwards, normal, whatever settings i put, even backwards settings it still ALWAYS puts my gnome panel on my right monitor! arg what is this?? [06:04] @EastDallas I don't remember exactly it had pudo in the name i believe [06:04] l [06:04] nkx [06:04] k [06:05] can someone help me to get my ubuntu to boot? grub cannot find my root partition [06:05] nixjr, I'M not that knowlegable , just giving the basics to help out new ppl [06:05] Lancer_: don't do anything until you know EXACTLY which virus yo uare infected with, and then follow the instructions from symantec [06:05] RyanD // What is a Error msg? [06:05] Pelo, i appreciate it thanks === ceW_cr is now known as spoiled === spoiled is now known as spoiled_girlzz [06:06] Hi [06:06] RyanD // ? [06:06] lol teching for windows in a linux channel [06:07] no such device i believe [06:07] @EastDallas okay thank you. I have multiple viruses on my windows partition. Do i follow steps for each one individually, or is there a "mother-virus?" [06:07] EastDallas: just tried that ubiquity package and its gtk frontend, had some issues with it though, so i guess i'll do it the normal way now... heh [06:07] hmm. [06:07] if you give me a minute i can get the exact error [06:07] grub isn't load? [06:07] grub loads [06:07] i select my kernel [06:07] Lancer_: how do you know you have multiple viruses? No, there is no mother virus. Did you have antivirus installed in windows? http://free.grisoft.com [06:08] but then it times out when trying to find the root partition [06:08] DaveWM: good luck [06:08] is there any suggestions for a good irc client here in ubuntu? [06:08] xchat [06:08] Upgrade to v9.10 removed madwifi driver needed for D-Link WDA2320. Windows driver wrap doesn't work. Trying to figure out which currrent version of madwifi I need to install as driver to restore WLAN. [06:08] Lancer_, irssi [06:08] Lancer_: xchat, although I use pidgin and love it. [06:08] Lancer_, i just installed chat-gnome a few mins ago, seems fine so far [06:08] Lancer_: I use xchat [06:08] Lancer_: irssi [06:09] xchat-gnome i mena sorry [06:09] @EastDallas I used the virus scanner from ubuntu and found like 3, booted into windows with symptoms, then scanned again and got eleven [06:09] i'm using irssi, how do i read history? [06:09] Lancer_: did your antivirus software remove them? [06:09] RyanD // use LiveCD and find a partition. === tato is now known as tato42 [06:10] the part is there and i am in the live cd [06:10] and mount root partition and edit menu.lst [06:10] hmm. [06:10] i suppose it depends on what you mean by mother virus... i guess alot of malware leads to other malware [06:10] What is your version? [06:10] 9.10? [06:10] i edited menu.lst but cannot get it to work [06:10] i am using nvidia raid5 if that matters [06:10] @EastDallas yes, i have removed the viruses with ubuntu virus scanner. Deleted not quarantined [06:11] in menu.lst, what is your configure, uuid? [06:11] d__girlzz [06:11] or like /dev/sda1 [06:11] ? [06:11] Lancer_, from personal experience, i often find 1 virus has embedded itself in multiple places, and unless all of them are hit at once, it just respawns upon reboot [06:11] devunt , either will work [06:11] When I login by ssh, after I input user name, it tooks serveral seconds before it asks for password. What might cause the problem? [06:11] ! pm | abu [06:11] whats the image size for the background in the terminal....it tiles the images [06:11] abu: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. === ceW_cr is now known as spoiled_girlzzz [06:11] yes. I know, [06:12] the second but it is /dev/mapper/xxxxxxxxxx [06:12] hmm. [06:12] e [06:12] hmm. I don't know, [06:13] Lancer_: You should probably go with what you were going to do and reinstall windows. You should be able to back up your files to you linux partition, but installing windows after ubuntu might screw up grub and make it difficult to boot into ubuntu. [06:13] ask to Pelo [06:13] Pelo [06:13] devunt ? [06:13] RyanD, yes what is the issue ? [06:14] Lancer_: are you getting an error when you try to run exe's in windows, or they just don't launch? [06:14] i am dual booting win7 and ubuntu [06:14] i installed ubuntu [06:14] but grub times out when trying to find my root partition [06:14] @EastDallas It's error, then antivirus that I didn't install pops up, looks like it could be from Windows, but I don't trust them so i don't even know what it should look or act like [06:14] RyanD, do it in one line please , easer to read [06:14] sry [06:14] yea, you'll have to redo grub after you reintall 7 [06:15] RyanD, for which , for windows or for ubuntu ? [06:15] ubuntu [06:15] can i just redo grub with a livecd? [06:15] RyanD, are you using the live cd now to access the ubuntu partitons ? [06:15] yes [06:16] RyanD, you found the menu.lst file ? [06:16] yes [06:16] does linux consider a monitor a dominate monitor if it's plugged into a certain port on a graphic card? [06:16] if i want to allow users to mount remote samba shares, how would i do that? only root can use mount, and when i try to do it from most user accounts i get "this user is not in the sudoers file" error [06:16] Lancer_: that's probably some bogus AV software. What you're describing sounds more like malware than a virus. [06:17] @infid I believe you should check your xserver settings [06:17] RyanD, ok it's better to use the uuid, to get the uuid , open a terminal and type sudo blkid , from there you need to figure outwhich is hte partition you have ubuntu installed on, copy that exactly to the correct line in the menu.lst file , save and reboot you shoudl be fine [06:17] Lancer_: take a look at this. You might try making one of these CDs and see if it helps: http://www.techmixer.com/free-bootable-antivirus-rescue-cds-download-list/ [06:17] hi everyone [06:18] i tried that "root=UUID=xxxxxxx" but it did not help [06:18] g/m from Greece [06:18] ryanakca, the uuid needs to match exactly [06:18] RyanD, , linux is case sensitive, [06:18] @EastDallas awesome, thank you :) could you clarify which grub problems i could have after a reinstall of windows? [06:18] Hi, could anybody help me out with a stupid-simple BASH question? [06:18] I need to know how to notate a directory name with whitespace while using a shell? e.g. if I wanted to "cp /this and that /blah/that" [06:19] hmmmm....let me try again, brb. do i have to change any other file, like fstab [06:19] Lancer_: for instance windows reinstall will overwrite mbr and you won't get a boot menu at all, it will just go straight to windows [06:19] MrProkhorov: replace the " " with "\ ". e.g. "this\ and\ that" [06:19] MrProkhorov, would cp "/this and that/blah" work? [06:19] MrProkhorov: tab-completion can often help with that [06:20] !tab | MrProkhorov [06:20] MrProkhorov: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [06:20] @EastDallas OKay, so I'd just have to boot a livecd and reconfigure grub how i had before? [06:20] Aha, thank you very much gentlemen! I figured it was something easy like that! [06:20] Lancer_: in theory, but you prob. want to ask someone else how to reconfigure it, I'm no grub2 guru. [06:21] MrProkhorov: cp /path/foo\ bar /baz [06:21] devunt, you were right, I manage to install he hangul viewer using wine but i can'T make it work after that [06:21] NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. [06:22] hmm. I think use virtual box is better [06:22] MrProkhorov: or, just use quotes like cp "/path/foo bar" /baz [06:22] devunt, do you have vbox install with a windows running in it ? [06:22] @EastDallas okay, well thank you for your help I may just forget windows for good actually, it's too much hassle [06:22] yes.

I cant get my desktop to see my router [06:22] I'm install xp now [06:22] Lancer_: good luck [06:22] but its working now direct via dsl [06:22] in vbox [06:22] hy [06:22] Ah, fantastic, thank you soreau!

[06:59] !info docker [06:59] hi there. what is the best way to change the umask for all users without editing /etc/profile (since it might be updated later) [06:59] hello [06:59] docker (source: docker): System tray for KDE3/GNOME2 docklet applications. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.4-5 (karmic), package size 12 kB, installed size 88 kB [06:59] !info tint2 [06:59] tint2 (source: tint2): lightweight taskbar. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.6.0-1 (karmic), package size 222 kB, installed size 344 kB [06:59] I guess? I am just trying to find a lightweight panel for obenbox tr [06:59] I have booted from a livecd and started a safe terminal. when can I fsck my hard drive when it is not being used by the livecd? [07:00] can i install Serato on Linux?????? [07:00] is it possible to back up all of ubuntu into a tar file from an ext3 partition and then extract it to an ext4 partition and reinstall grub? will I have to change settings to work with ext4? [07:00] recovery mode is failing at this point, so the livecd was my next option [07:00] proq, make sure none of your filesystems from the harddrive are mounted (use df -command to list all mounts) [07:00] proq, if they're not mounted, then it's safe(ish) to run fsck. [07:00] how do i find out what is using my cpu? [07:01] ! serato [07:01] max1234: sorry, I probably won't be much help, I know nothing about openbox [07:01] ok thanks anyways [07:01] I have a 'compaq' laptop that refuses to suspend or hibernate, from what I read I find lots of complaints but no answers for a fix, any ideas?? swap is not an issue, it has 1gig swap [07:01] what would the default hard device be on an old i386 ibm thinkpad? [07:02] nixjr: I system monitoring program like top [07:02] proq, probably /dev/sda, but if unsure you can ask what the device is by using hdparm: hdparm -iI /dev/sda [07:02] If I back up ubuntu to a tar file from an ext3 partition and extract it to an ext4 partition and reinstalled grub onto the hard disk, what else would I have to do to make it work? [07:03] almoxarife: do you have ubuntu installed in it's own partition or a virtual partition? [07:03] EastDallas: it was installed via wubi [07:03] ! ping [07:03] Here I am, brain the size of a planet and you expect me to respond to a ping? How depressing. [07:03] wubi considered virtual? [07:04] almoxarife: so, it's a virtual partition, give me a second....I was having the same problem and found a bug fix.... [07:04] EastDallas: cool [07:04] almoxarife: need to find the link...are you also having problem shutting down? [07:04] EastDallas: no problem with shut downs or starts [07:05] anyone able to help with samba? finally got one machine on network to show up, but not both [07:05] devunt know something about serato? === rich97|away is now known as rich97 [07:05] ok, the drive is /dev/sda and is not listed by df but when I do sudo fsck /dev/sda it says it is in use [07:06] no, I don't know [07:06] EastDallas: the machine will go thru the motions of a suspend. it will not waken from suspend. I get a black screen, but it may be doing something in the background [07:06] oh, sda1 [07:06] almoxarife: mine would act like it was going in to suspend, and then wake right back up [07:06] Is there a particular reason that Ubuntu's swap is in an extended partition [07:06] can anyone help me get pypanel or docker running? I have them installed but now am lost? [07:07] EastDallas: although no key combination will restore the screen [07:07] EastDallas: the 'not suspending' when put into motion may be caused by lack of swap, it was an issue initially [07:08] almoxarife: you have no swap partition? [07:08] EastDallas: I do have a swap with a gig of space [07:10] EastDallas: the other os on the machine is xp, it does suspend and restore from suspend [07:10] EastDallas: what I have is a swap.file not a partition [07:12] ... so frustrating ... [07:12] ok, machine back to normal. thanks czr_ :D [07:12] proq, np :-). backups next time, right? [07:13] hehe. it's my mother-in-law's machine [07:13] almoxarife: can you suspend from command line? command is pm-suspend [07:13] almoxarife: still looking for that link [07:14] ? [07:14] Running Ubuntu Server 9.10 x64 with all updates applied (Kernel 2.6.31-17-server): Upon system startup, `runlevel` is 'unknown', and daemons like ssh, samba do not start. Any thoughts on why the runlevel isn't updating properly or running my /etc/rc#.d/ scripts? I didn't see anything strange in the dmesg [07:14] who is a xgxwhqzw [07:14] devunt: just ignore it [07:14] EastDallas: yes, returning from suspend is the issue, on return there is a black screen, and no way to escape it [07:14] NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now.

[07:19] win7 sees all, winvista sees all, but this only see's the vista [07:20] even winxp sees everything except this one 'cause this was the winxp [07:20] im trying to change file permissions in the gui, every time i uncheck a box, it automatically re-checks itself straight away, why? [07:20] Sorhan: both win machines are on the same workgroup? [07:20] yup [07:20] uhmmmmmmmmmm [07:20] have watched movies saved to win7 on the vista machine and another winy7 [07:20] Awesome3000, how do you do that? i have a win7 that can't be seen by xp, but direct connect to \\win7pc\blah still works [07:21] Sorhan are the subnet-masks the same [07:21] almoxarife: I'm not able to find the link, but it also sounds like a different problem. I couldn't shutdown or suspend, and if I remember correctly, I think this fix has already been released via updates. You may want to search bugs or file a new one at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager. Sorry I wasn't of more help. :( [07:21] rewt, change your workgroup on the xp machine [07:21] same workgroup [07:21] i can ping the win7 machine from terminal, so I'm going to say yes [07:21] must i run any commands after updating grubs menu.lst file>? i update it but they dont seem to take effect (ex- i put the timeout to 20 line and the hiden menu one, menu doesn't show up at all still even after hitting esc) [07:21] EastDallas: thanks for the help [07:22] rewt, triple check, Win7 defaults to "homegroup" [07:22] ralsheb Those lines arn't commented [07:22] Sorhan: the win7 machine sees the ubuntu machine? [07:22] 99% sure, let me triple check [07:22] ok how come I had to register my nick to join? [07:23] cjae hackers [07:23] cant even remember my questions now [07:23] ahh i see [07:23] anti ubuntu? [07:23] cjae: Someone has been attacking freenode [07:23] frack ... i see the problem now .... win7 doesn't seem to wanna belong to the workgroup ... it isn't seeing anything [07:24] Sorhan: ahhhhhhhhhh [07:24] ... someone set a password on the "homegroup" ... so i can see the "workgroup" on the WinVista ... [07:25] Sorhan: the win7 defaults to public I think, needs to run private [07:25] almoxarife, that should all be setup correctly, I **HAD** it working ... [07:25] im trying to change file permissions in the gui, every time i uncheck a box, it automatically re-checks itself straight away, why? [07:25] I just installed ubuntu, and my sound doesn't work. everything works, Wifi, video, etc.. just not sound. not sure why. I have the volume up all the way. [07:26] trying to figure out how to tell it to browse a password protected workgroup now .... lol [07:26] what do I type to go to my souce list [07:26] or to remove pass on workgroup === Ovidiu is now known as _Ovidiu [07:26] What do I do to test it? [07:26] Sorhan: the workgroup password for the win7 should be your login password [07:26] awesome3000: right, they aren't commented , so c hanging them should affect things..? [07:26] * _Ovidiu is away: Gone away for now [07:26] on the win7 [07:27] ralsheb Yeah [07:27] Hi, just installed kubuntu and I need to know what the default kernel line is in grub, kernel /boot line, it was i386 Alternative, thanks [07:27] almoxarife, there's two pwds ... one to join group, one to access shares ... no username on group [07:27] ralsheb I never even run the command [07:27] why M$ has to make it so blasted hard to share stuff, i have no flaming idea [07:27] Sorhan: we are talking win now? [07:27] ralsheb Have you maybe updated grub and are editing the wrong number [07:28] ralsheb not number file :D [07:28] not yet ... still can't browse the Vista machine ... [07:28] i think i should just teach wifey how to use *nix ... [07:29] !grub2 | ralsheb [07:29] ralsheb: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [07:29] kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-23-386 root=/dev/sda1 ro quiet splash vga=791, does this look right? [07:29] T0mRiddle: vga= has been depricated [07:29] Sorhan: from the ubuntu machine standpoint, it sees one of the win machines? [07:29] yup [07:29] i posted a ss of my desktop and it seemed darker than it actually is [07:29] how do i adjust brightness? [07:30] brandon- desktop or image [07:30] hi. I am using the free ati drivers but in my xorg.conf i am seeing lines in Section Monitor Identifier as aticonfig-Monitor[0]-0. is it right? [07:30] desktop [07:30] win7 sees ubuntu machine on network, just not in homegroup [07:30] T0mRiddle: In grub2 you should just add a line with "gfxpayload=1600x1200" ( or whatever resolution you want ) [07:30] #ubuntu-ru. [07:31] Sorhan I don't think Samba does Homegroup hence the old sharing [07:31] Sorhan: does it matter what group? you can change the workgroup in samba,conf to anything you would like [07:31] *mumble* gotta be easier way to do this ... [07:31] Dude, I need the kernel line that kubuntu i386 alternative puts in there, I have grub installed on another partition for another distro and I can load it, but I can't access the Kubuntu ext4 partition with it [07:31] Unless the alternative i386 has a live console mode, or a way to just reinstall grub [07:31] honestly, I don't want diddly shared through a "workgroup" or "homegroup" xbox can't browse that way [07:32] honestly i want my simple file sharing back! lol [07:32] Sorhan: Just set a group where all machines will have same group name. I use LAN myself to make things simple. [07:32] Sorhan: have you set up file sharing in ubuntu? [07:32] T0mRiddle: Just remove the vga=791, it's not there by default and if you don't know what it is you don't need it [07:32] I need to enable support for the swedish language in OpenOffice documents, but I still want the UI in English. What package should I install? I found the following, is that the one? "language-support-sv" [07:32] almo, I have zero idea, i just started using this like a week ago [07:33] Sorhan: I don't think Xbox can use Samba to read files. It uses UPnP. [07:33] Xbox can browse network for simple file shares [07:33] Jordan, that was an example from the internet of the line I need [07:34] Sorhan: file sharing or folder sharing, same thing, do you have a folder in ubuntu that is shared by the network? [07:34] almo, only if one is shared by default [07:34] T0mRiddle: The rest looks right ( though Ubuntu uses root=UUID=7850595e-e0f7-422f-b723-faf2fd6cd8e0 for temporary purposes root=/dev/sda1 should work fine as long as it's the right device ) [07:35] Sorhan: no, I don't think you are sharing anything on the ubuntu [07:35] almo, probably not ... even if there's a folder shared, there's nothing in it [07:35] can anyone tell me how to make a menu in gnome that just shows places [07:35] i did it relatively easily in XFCE [07:35] Sorhan: what is the end game here? having the xbox see all the machines? [07:35] Sorhan: what is the goal? to get media from the PC to an XBox? [07:35] but i just switched back to gnome and would like to do it [07:35] kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-23-386 root=/dev/sda1 ro quiet splash <=- That looks like the correct kernel for the newest Kubunutu as well? [07:35] mneptok: :) [07:36] almo, end game is to be able to watch movies from both ubuntu and xbox [07:36] ubuntu on laptop, not much hdd space for movies ;) [07:36] use XBMC [07:36] its best app for xbox [07:36] Sorhan: look at XBMC, MediaTomb, or some other media server software [07:36] you dont need a server with XBMC [07:36] just samba sharing [07:36] don't care if xbox sees ubuntu, just want ubuntu to see win7 [07:36] T0mRiddle: No [07:36] anyone know how to make a places menu [07:36] with gnome [07:36] win7 is the server, everything else just a client [07:37] If I could access the partition I could find out, these ext4's aren't very backwards compatible [07:37] ubuntu 9.10 no sound HP Pavilion DV6-2144NR [07:37] brandon-: What do you mean by places menu? You want to add folders? [07:37] How can I fix my sound? [07:37] just did a fresh install [07:37] Sorhan: ok, create a folder on the desktop of ubuntu, then right click and set it to share === john is now known as Guest20887 [07:37] kinja-sheep, i mean like by default it has Main Places and System or whatever [07:37] i want it to be just Places [07:37] as a seperate menu [07:38] Jordan, do you know what it is suppose to be? [07:38] xfce has a plugin for it to dl via synaptic [07:38] but i dont see one for gnome [07:38] brandon-: I don't believe that is possible because nobody make an applet for that one. [07:38] :( [07:38] How do I debug - or just see the whole of - kernel panic trace if i don't have a serial port? [07:38] i guess ill switch back to xfce then [07:38] it seems to have gnome beat [07:38] in alot of way [07:38] almo, done [07:38] Sorhan: sharing is on? [07:39] should be [07:39] T0mRiddle: You can use tab completion in grub to be sure you have the right file, I think it should be /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31.17.30 [07:39] brandon-: You use it for netbook? [07:39] nou, desktop === _Ovidiu is now known as Ovidiu [07:39] T0mRiddle: Sorry, /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-17-generic [07:39] Sorhan: from a win machine look to see if that share folder is visible [07:39] ok... [07:40] not accepting usr/pwd for ubuntu machine [07:40] Sorhan: use the win password/user account [07:41] got it [07:41] win7 seeing ubuntu share [07:41] Sorhan: do you see the share? [07:41] ok [07:41] Sorhan: does the win7 have public shares? [07:42] initrd /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-17-generic <=- Need this line too Jordan? [07:42] everything should be public share [07:42] Sorhan: ok [07:42] T0mRiddle: That line should be initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-17-generic [07:42] hello every body how to restart a service when using ubuntu? plz [07:43] good call mamy [07:43] Sorhan: at this point the rest of the work is related to win or xbox, good luck [07:43] was about to say the same thing mamy [07:43] mamy, sudo invoke-rc.d restart [07:43] ubuntu doesn't see the win7 machine period still [07:43] cobra,thanks [07:43] Sorhan: I think the win7 is not setup to be seen [07:43] koterpillar thanks [07:44] could be ... will try win support, thanks for the help [07:45] shd u compile a kernel only to include some module [07:45] How do I debug - or just see the whole of - kernel panic trace if i don't have a serial port?

Konquere [08:41] drellok: thanks. it says 'NVIDIA GPU GeForce 9500 GT (G96)', which is my video gard, but when i go to 'hardware drivers' it shows 2 drivers, the one currently in use is version 173 and the one not in use is 185 (recommended). should i switch to 185? [08:41] and i can make it wired. and it runs just fine wired. but where i intend on putting this PC it has to be wireless.. [08:41] what happens if you type the ip address in the browser like this http://216.239.51.99 [08:41] brandon-: if you have any problems with my icon tutorial, please let me know so I can update it. [08:41] kk will do [08:41] im gonna use it tomororw [08:41] too tired atm [08:41] ok [08:41] connection to the server refused [08:42] 185 has a lot more acceleration [08:42] if my 9.10 keeps freezing would it be a good idea to try and install 9.04 and then upgrade to 9.10 if say 9.04 actually will install. [08:42] How can i connect to a remote desktop [08:43] infid, I think 185 would be better [08:43] dandaman: did you try reinstalling the driver from the ati website? [08:43] sorry wrong ip try this one http://69.147.76.15 [08:43] EastDallas: thats the one i've been using [08:43] http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/9.4 [08:43] ok [08:43] that scares me though [08:43] because my card is 4850 [08:43] evaro: ssh username @ip [08:43] same thing, connection refused [08:43] hey hey i have an issue... i can't access localhost:8080/sabnzbd on chromium but i can in firefox... any idea why? [08:43] and it says that x850 has been moved to the legacy software support structure [08:44] 9.04 is a lot more stable, is there some feature of 9.10 you need right now ? [08:44] 9.10 is nicer [08:44] significantly [08:44] dandaman: I came back to tell you your card was still supported. That x is not like x86 [08:44] rakista. i cant even connect to my routers config page. 192.168.1.1 [08:44] no I just want to install ubuntu in general but 9.10 keeps freezing at 98% every time [08:44] cvbrg: thanks [08:45] dandaman: the 4850 is still supported [08:45] EastDallas: ok im installing with --buildpkg Ubuntu/karmic this time [08:45] we'll see it it works [08:45] dandaman: although my experience with ati is that graphics performance gets worse with every upgrade of ubuntu. [08:46] Tre you may have a driver issue with WPA 2 working, try to change your router to WPA 1, but first try your router with no security and see if that works [08:46] haha [08:46] forgot to say thanks to whoever told me how to do that? [08:46] bye [08:46] bye [08:46] hi at all can i have help about my ubuntu 8.04 ? [08:46] dandaman: I switched to nvidia card after upgrding to karmic...I had one of the cards in that list you posted [08:46] If it works without security that means your auth portion of your drivers are pasing malformed packets [08:46] ....its on WEP. [08:46] and i know, WEP is horrible. [08:46] http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Jaunty_Installation_Guide#Installing_the_drivers_manually [08:46] Try no security at all [08:46] sure [08:46] should i be following these instructions?

[08:48] i dont remember which one im on [08:48] Im downloading 9.04 desktop 32bit iso will this after getting updates be able to be upgraded to 9.10? [08:49] dandaman: you might want to try opening a terminal and type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [08:49] dandaman: then reboot [08:49] k ill try that [08:49] drellok: ok i activated 185 but i still can't get any compiz effects to happen. i have a brand new nvidia 9500GT 1GB video card and i set affects like Wobbly Windows and stuff and they arent working [08:49] dandaman: if it's the same driver version you've already got [08:49] is there any way to control power going to USB ports [08:49] rebooting [08:50] hey guys what is the command to check port on ubuntu? [08:51] every time i insert my usb pens, it says me it's impossible to mount devices, so i have to do in the konsole two commands: dmesg | grep tail and after mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt ; next i have to take off the pen and reinsert it and then pc reads it. there is a way to bypass these commands ?? [08:51] i need to control some USB lights based on some parameters [08:51] infid: check if composite is enabled: cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep Composite [08:52] anyone [08:52] ??

[08:55] you have two options, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-troubleshoot-wireless-network-connection-in-ubuntu.html or buy a new wireless usb stick [08:55] nothing! dmesg | grep tail is the command [08:56] i bought this one... because the old one wasnt working [08:56] -_- [08:56] the strange part is i can ping [08:56] EastDallas: isnt there any settings that can help me [08:56] DiaNouS: give me the output of 'dmesg | tail' [08:56] Where on the WWW is a list of Ubuntu IRC Channels?

I've mounted the destination as /home/duncan/destination. Does this command look right? '$ rsync -rp / destination' [09:05] neither is firefox reall,y just takes a sec to load [09:05] and when i just wanna see an image [09:05] id rathernot have to load a browser at all [09:05] brandon-: I love firefox, but you're right, it's slow as hell...chromium isn't [09:05] amd 2400+ cpu, I think 256gpu nvidia not sure, 3 sticks of 256mb ram. [09:05] when i open a text file on a windows share (mounted under /media) then try to save I get a big red bar at the top of gedit telling me it couldn't find the file! If I cancel out and then re-open the file i find that it has saved the changes anyway. Can anyone suggest what's wrong please? [09:06] firefox + extensions rocks! [09:06] duncan-nz: use -x because yuo don't want /dev /proc /sys been copied [09:06] linleycaetan1: you know chromium has extensions now? [09:06] llutz, i'll just look that up. [09:06] duncan-nz: rsync -ax / /dest [09:06] No, but will my ff extensions be ported? [09:07] hello [09:07] hi I'm trying to write this quick/dirty script to add up numbers (one per line) out of a list -- http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/356456/ -- however, I get the command seen on that paste, any idea what's wrong with how I'm passing sed in via bash? [09:07] linleycaetan1: there are some same/equivalent extensions, but not nearly the number there are for FF....and they aren't interchangeable [09:07] llutz, don't I need the -p to preserve permissions? [09:08] ps -- it had worked up until I wrote: $line=$line + $hour [09:09] now I tried to install Ubuntu 9.10 again and I get text dwon my screen and every line starts with [ [09:09] llutz, ah, so -x also preserves the permission. Correct? [09:09] * EastDallas gets worried when he gives somebody advice and tells them to reboot and they are gone for half an hour... [09:10] UbuntuN00B: am I stepping into the middle of a conversation? or is this the first line you've written here? [09:10] duncan-nz: pls read man rsync for explanation, -a archive = rptgo... [09:10] llutz, I'm trying, but it's an unusually long manual! [09:10] drellok: ok http://pastebin.com/d59c59ee0 [09:10] er wait [09:11] drellok: ok http://pastebin.com/d50c59ee0 [09:11] !channels [09:11] A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [09:16] llutz, so it looks like just -a will do the trick. I guess I'll give it a try and see if I can boot into it. [09:16] infid: try to run ccsm from the console, it should ouput the error message when enabling effects [09:18] anyone help with my question up there re gedit please? I just edited it using nano from a terminal and all was fine but users don't want to do that ;) === kmdm_ is now known as kmdm [09:20] drellok: sudo ccsm said 'Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0". Loading icons... [09:21] that's it [09:21] dsl_, your smb connection probably got dropped AFTER you save the file [09:22] dsl_: try launching gedit from a terminal and see if you get a more detailed error message in the terminal. [09:22] dsl_, there's an autosave feature in gedit [09:22] which attempts to save every 10 minutes, thus, when it tries to save, it couldn't find the file [09:22] gedit creates a backup file with prefix ~[filename] [09:23] infid: does it happen when you enabled enabled effects or just launch ccsm? [09:23] drellok just on launch [09:23] so since 9.10 didn't work I made a 9.04 CD and now I try and install it and I get "crc error --System halted" [09:23] i wish i had not upgraded to 9.10 [09:24] why can't any version install? wtf grrr [09:25] drellok but now when i click 'Extra' from the Apperances preference it still says 'the composite extension is not available' [09:25] turned autosave and backups off. it's not samba, the connection is fine - it happens every time i try to save. trying from command line [09:25] UbuntuN00B: crc error seems to be an burning problem with your cd [09:25] infid, ok so please paste your xorg.conf [09:26] UbuntuN00B: why didnt 9.10 work [09:26] drellok i did [09:26] drellok: http://pastebin.com/d50c59ee0 [09:26] doh [09:26] sorry you meant xorg.conf, one sec [09:26] no idea [09:26] CRC error usually means a bad burn ] [09:27] it just frezzes at 98% [09:27] Try burning at a lower speed like 4x [09:27] k i'll retry burning the iso image [09:27] do a crc check on the iso before u burn [09:28] Do you have a USB sticvk, they are more reliable [09:28] running gedit from command line is no different and still does the same thing i.e. tells me it can't find the file (that it has open) to save but when I quit if find the file has been saved. If i edit with nano from a terminal all is fine [09:28] drellok: http://pastebin.com/d1abfa156 [09:28] dsl_: do you get a more descriptive error in the terminal?

Do I need to preserve hard links? [09:36] <^paradox^> llutz: everythings back to normal with that though so it seems [09:36] infid: I guess yes [09:36] rakista: using alpine it says no mails at all [09:37] drellok ok i added that stuff and restarted gdm but it still says 'the composite extension is not available' [09:37] duncan-nz: do you have some?

This works fine except for one minor detail - the mouse cursor goes off my laptop screen about an inch on the right hand side. can anyone explain? [09:37] Hey, I have a mono application that needs to be launched while in the applications directory is there any way I can do this with the app launcher === Guest43294 is now known as kermiac [09:37] <^paradox^> but i dont understand. i never paid a cent for icq original client on windows [09:38] ^paradox^: without cost doesn't mean free [09:38] drellok and running ccsm from a terminal and Xorg.0.log don't say anything new [09:38] there is nothing more in that folder: only files 'ivanatora' and 'root' [09:38] oooh root may have new messages... [09:39] llutz, no, but I don't know if they are used somewhere in the installation. Honestly I don't know what makes a link 'hard', I'll look that up. But I'm wondering if they can be part of something in Ubuntu. [09:39] <^paradox^> llutz: i guess ive got a lot to learn about the software world [09:39] sudo alpine [09:39] yep, cron reports [09:39] but why user ivanatora gets notified for root's mail [09:39] ivanatora: setup an alias, root shouldn't read mails at all [09:39] right. the issue is definitly with gedit [09:39] sure thing, I'll do it [09:39] I think ubuntu pushes root mail notifications to admins [09:40] Xeross_: will it not launch if you just put the whole path in the laucher? i.e. /usr/bin/app/appname [09:40] <^paradox^> llutz: so is this something that can expected to tak care of itself? [09:40] EastDallas: Yes it will but all the text and stuff wont show [09:40] dsl_: I found someone with the same problem http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1356014 [09:40] EastDallas: Basically the GUI is complete except any text, and I think it's stored within a seperate file [09:41] Xeross_: maybe a bash script to change directory then launch [09:41] ^paradox^: yes, sometimes it might need some time to get errors fixed but most of those errors are serverside, you only can wait. [09:41] Hello! [09:41] <^paradox^> llutz: ok ty [09:41] ^paradox^: and if you haven't changed an application i.e. pidgin which was working before, it's most likely not your fault if things break [09:42] 9.04 is installing lets pray this one works unlike 9.10 [09:42] <^paradox^> llutz: nope. ive used pidgin from the start [09:43] UbuntuN00B: ok, you answered the question that I didn't ask yet :) [09:43] EastDallas: thanks for that...not just me then! Whats the best alternative Gnome text editor? [09:43] <^paradox^> well it was called something else when i first got ubuntu. but its the program. never installed uninstalled the thing [09:43] what question? [09:43] dsl_: don't know....I use gedit! :p [09:43] UbuntuN00B: "is 9.10 still broken?" u_u [09:43] "Can I still use Intrepid?" [09:44] 9.10 CD i made kept freezing at 98% thats all I'm sure it works for others. [09:44] EastDallas: How would I make bash launch a program without keeping the bash window open ?

If you make it executable does it still perform the functions like it was in a terminal window?

[09:47] infid: that's not so bad.. the blacklist check can be omitted.. what is the output of compiz --replace & [09:47] decolorante: I generally do backups and do clean installation rather than upgrading. The end results varies for everybody. You either could get a working system or a crippled system. [09:47] drellok actually ~/.xsession_errors isnt saying anything about blacklisted [09:47] kinja-sheep, I guess you are right. But, I think it won't hurt if for now I keep using Jaunty.. at least I hope [09:48] I have an Ubu 9.04 server and I'm trying to "apt-get upgrade" with cron. It's never worked, but I heard there's a better way to do automatic updates. Does anyone know how? [09:48] is the anyway to tell if a file I am trying to open with keepassx is actually something that can be opened with it e.g. myfile.pwm [09:48] decolorante: That is fine. And oh if you don't mind getting your hands dirty and waste couple of hours, then go for it. See what's new in Karmic. :) [09:48] <^paradox^> llutz: thanks for ur time with the pidgin issue [09:48] drellok that said a few things, namely 'Checking for Composite extension: not present. Aborting using fall back? /usr/bin/metacity and XLib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0" [09:49] kinja-sheep: Heh, that's why I'm tempted. I am missing all the new stuff. [09:49] kinja-sheep: I normally love wasting time like that, but sadly these days I need my computer ready for lessons. No experimenting. ;) [09:49] infid: oh.. do you have dual monitors? [09:50] drellok yes [09:50] DrSyk: I found something -- http://tinyurl.com/yednbf9 [09:50] hey how would i display all drives again in the console?

[09:51] hi !!! [09:51] i mean [09:51] to dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/drivename it [09:51] yes noob [09:51] thanks [09:52] kinja-sheep, quite the suspicious looking URL. [09:52] all I have now is a black screen and nothing else do I wait or restart the pc? [09:52] drellok xserver-xgl doesnt seem to be in apt-get [09:52] wait. [09:52] DrSyk: How so? [09:52] <^paradox^> so as i was saying is there anyone here knowledgeable of ffmpeg who could give me some advice on it? [09:52] hi I'm getting errors such as "read of scrambled sector without authentication" when I try and read a dvd :/ any ideas? [09:53] to be honest I dont think my pc is doing anything right now other than a black screen no thinking is going on or cd running. [09:53] drellok i guess i can turn off xinerama/separate screen and use twin view [09:53] kinja-sheep, so under the working hypothesis that you just googled some words to help me out, and came up with a great webpage to help me, I'm not sure why you'd then run it through tinyurl. [09:54] still black screen how long does it take? [09:54] DrSyk: thank god you aren't using IE :) [09:54] DrSyk: To shorten the URL. It is common. [09:54] llutz: it did not list my usb drive and it did not show the serial number or manufacturor name so i cannot determine which is which [09:54] llutz: only guess [09:54] i need more precise listings [09:54] this is serious business [09:54] UbuntuN00B: how long has it been black screen? [09:55] <^paradox^> if this isnt the place is there another ubuntu room where i could ask about it? [09:55] /dev/zero man [09:55] brokendisk: plug in again, guessing might be harmfull [09:55] almost 5mins now.

[09:56] brokendisk: sure, try "lsusb", is it listed there?

[09:58] infid: you're welcome [09:58] llutz: yeah thats what i mean, what did you mean plug in again? [09:58] i think its working now [09:59] brokendisk: take usb-cable off, wait 10 seconds, plug it in again and try fdisk again [09:59] u think that works? [09:59] <^paradox^> iflema: thats a good guide, but im not having problems with it [09:59] sounds like goblin voodo magic [09:59] H3LL yes 9.04 is up and running :) thank you guys :) [09:59] brokendisk: it does sometimes, sometimes even linux uses magic [09:59] How do I change back to the old login screen?

[10:01] octaveous: it's not in the repositories, google it [10:01] ^paradox^ check out the two links in the second paragraph [10:01] llutz: isnt this kinda sucky? it shuold have been there before already [10:01] brokendisk: it is, but...

[10:05] llutz: it doesnt even have a security confirmation question [10:05] and it shows me no progreess [10:05] so what should i do [10:05] ^paradox^ me not sure but i guess you coulkd say a hidden feature of vlc is its ability to convert formats [10:05] hey guys, anyone in here familiar with glype ? [10:06] brokendisk: why should it? unix commands never ask, they just do what you say [10:06] ok [10:06] and it shows no progress [10:06] i see nothing [10:06] ^paradox^ no guarentees but it may be an option [10:07] brokendisk: they asume you know what are you doing. send "killal -USR1 dd" on terminal, dd has no progressbar [10:07] llutz: but i dont want to kill it [10:07] brokendisk: USR1 won't kill it, it will force it to say, hi i'm xx% finished [10:07] ah great [10:07] why does it not say that by itself?

[10:10] bad naming [10:10] brokendisk: Why is firefox called firefox? :\ [10:10] brokendisk: confusing, right [10:11] it should be called sendmsg and have an option KILL instead [10:11] <^paradox^> i guess the thing thats tripping me up with ffmpeg is what settings to use. is there a default or standard that would give decent quality? [10:11] kinja-sheep: not the same thing [10:11] brokendisk: ln -s $(which killall) ~/bin/sendmsg :) [10:11] what does thta do?

[10:24] oasa:that was to complicated [10:24] ivo: I recmmend u to use grub4dos [10:24] instead of grub [10:24] !gentoo [10:24] Other !Linux distributions besides !Ubuntu include: Debian, Mepis (using !APT); RedHat, Fedora, SUSE, Mandriva (using !RPM); Gentoo, Slackware (using other packaging systems) [10:24] ivo, can i suggest you look at the gag bootloader: http://gag.sourceforge.net/ [10:24] is it a windows program ?? [10:25] ivo: I've not used win 7 so I wouldn't like to suggest anything as I don't know how the updates etc work on that [10:25] what is the shortcut key to change workspaces? [10:25] could someone tell me why gparted is picking up my HDD as fully unallocated? [10:25] why are there so many packeting systems and not just one [10:25] when u install ubuntu , do not use grub to write MBR [10:25] paprna: I answered that already, ctrl+alt+left,right arrow [10:25] it seems to be a trivial task to have a packet system [10:25] papul, ctrl+alt+(arrow key) [10:25] just a bunch of files strung together [10:25] why wouild people invent more than one packet system [10:25] ok [10:25] papul: ctrl+alt+left,right arrow [10:25] zhcfreesea, is it a windows program ? [10:25] its like inventing more than one fork [10:26] brokendisk: it's like inventing more than one Linux distribution, which seems to happen rather often [10:26] brokendisk: There are more than one fork. [10:26] google it [10:26] brokendisk: and, fyi, they're called "packaging" systems. [10:26] kinja-sheep: doubt it [10:26] duncan-nz, thank u for the url [10:26] ah [10:26] It's not hard to use [10:26] rww: and why are there so many [10:26] brokendisk: because people keep making new ones [10:27] seems dumb, everythihg has to be maintained three times [10:27] or more [10:27] brokendisk: this is correct. It's also a common thing in free software. [10:27] since thats the large part of owrk in a packet system [10:27] packeting system [10:27] zhcfreesea, ok I'll do that first [10:27] to maintain it and to keep it up to date [10:27] :) [10:27] and to offer regular updates to the users of the system [10:28] so i dont understand why people would do that [10:28] brokendisk: because different package management systems and different distributions serve different audiences, and also probably partially the "not invented here" syndrome [10:28] brokendisk: It is called "progress" [10:28] brokendisk: this is rather offtopic for an Ubuntu support channel, though; #ubuntu-offtopic might be a better place for it. [10:28] what does this mean not invented here rww [10:28] kinja-sheep: i doubt it it s [10:28] Is there anyone having trouble getting on AIM with Pidgin? [10:29] kinja-sheep: i think it is called wasting time [10:29] I can mount these partitions fine in Nautilus, and via CLI, but why wont gparted pick them up? i need some way of deleting some of these partitions so i can install linux [10:29] ok rww [10:29] ae86-drifter1: sudo cfdisk /dev/sdX [10:29] but on3 last thing rww what doest it mean not invented here [10:29] Zencyde: which version of Ubuntu? [10:29] brokendisk: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Not_Invented_Here [10:29] llutz, could you please tell me what that does? [10:29] 9.10, rww. This problem JUST started happening. [10:30] ae86-drifter1: calls cfdisk, a partitioning-tool [10:30] interesting [10:30] i see rww [10:30] Zencyde: see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pidgin/+bug/506647 ; there appears to be a workaround there [10:30] ae86-drifter1: just make sure your drive isn' t mounted [10:30] Thanks, rww. That's my exact problem. [10:31] Is this happening to a lot of people? [10:31] rww: are you a social thingker [10:31] Zencyde: specifically, turning off clientLogin (no, I don't know what that option does) in your AIM account preferences on Pidgin [10:31] Zencyde: there have been a few people in here asking the last few days [10:31] ok, i found the problem, i think i need to configure php properly on this system [10:31] llutz, none of the drives are mounted, im on the live cd, and cfdisk returns FATAL ERROR: Bad primary partition 3, but i can browse all files fine and use all 3 os installed on the disk! [10:31] Yeah, that fixed it. :) Thanks rww. Sucks to see this happening. [10:32] Hello , I want to install wine , How do I do it ? [10:32] application->software->wine -> install [10:32] ae86-drifter1: theres something wrong on the disk, therefor gparted/cfdisk refuse to work on it [10:32] or console sudo apt-get install wine [10:33] Hello... maybe you guys know how to help me, I yust installed ubuntu 9.10, have everything working except for my sound. I have my receiver connected via optical cable, always worked on windows. I cant get the digital audio output to work... any ideas? [10:33] New Question: can anyone recommend a guide to moving my installation to another hdd which will work with grub2/karmic? === hans is now known as Guest38340 [10:33] google has not yet helped me. [10:33] hey wtf [10:33] llutz: [10:33] kuchi : But wine website says I have to follow all these steps --> http://www.winehq.org/download/deb [10:34] i just tried killall -USR1 dd [10:34] !backup | duncan-nz [10:34] duncan-nz: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [10:34] llutz [10:34] and it said 4.2 MB/s wtf [10:34] duncan-nz: rsync/cp it, edit fstab, reinstall grub [10:34] why is this so slow?? [10:34] this willl take forever [10:34] a hdd is usually 50MB/s [10:34] brokendisk: dd is slow, 4m is not optimum blocksize [10:34] llutz: i use bs=1024 === hans is now known as Guest23193 [10:34] Hey guys, apparently I need a specific driver? How do you find a driver?? :\ [10:34] wtf 4MB/s is too slow [10:34] llutz, i understand that, but how would one go about fixing this? fsck returns no errors at all [10:35] brokendisk: try 4k but it still will take some time [10:35] kuchi : Or is it for installing the beta version [10:35] llutz: i want 30MB/s or so [10:35] ae86-drifter1: fsck checks filesystems, not partitions [10:35] One``: If it is for ndiswrapper, you find it from your laptop's manufacturer website. [10:35] llutz: is it slow because of usb? [10:35] Hello... maybe you guys know how to help me, I yust installed ubuntu 9.10, have everything working except for my sound. I have my receiver connected via optical cable, always worked on windows. I cant get the digital audio output to work... any ideas? [10:35] Federeor: seems to offer both. try what i've psoted [10:35] llutz, but I can't get grub to appear at all. I use GAG and send it to the right partition (which I have marked as bootable) but gag doesn't seem to find anything to boot. [10:35] and llutz how could i determine the fastest rate [10:35] brokendisk: dd = slow, usb = slow, so dd on usb = hell [10:35] also, can i interrupt dd and change the bs? [10:35] kinja-sheep, thanks i'll look at those [10:35] what exactly is ubuntu netbook remix? [10:35] i heard dd is fast [10:35] llutz, i know that my question is how would i go about fixing this please?? [10:35] brokendisk: killall dd [10:36] llutz: that will kill it? [10:36] brokendisk: it should [10:36] llutz: i dont want to kill it and start all over [10:36] hello i have problems with my keyboard logitech mx3000 , numpath and at sign for emails does not work can someone help me i had it fixes but i cannot find the right way ..................pls [10:36] kinja-sheep, hold on, many of those probably won't work to move my install, or am I wrong? [10:36] llutz: also what is a better bloc kszie [10:36] blocksize [10:36] ubuntu netbook remix (UNR) is a ubuntu version optimized for netbooks with fullscreen windows and low proccess cost window apps [10:36] bs [10:36] brokendisk: bs=4k seems to be best for me [10:36] will try that [10:37] so it will start all over?? [10:37] kuchi: thanks [10:37] ae86-drifter1: tools like testdisk, parted may help [10:37] or can i resume where i killed it [10:37] I am having a weird problem with my USB keyboard: caps & numlock are turning on by themselves, then scroll lock flashes. Every time I turn off numlock it turns back on again. Eventually scroll lock stops flashing, and I can control the caps/num lock status again. Any ideas? I'd be content to permanently disable numlock [10:37] llutz, do i have another option besides becking up 124,496 files totalling 160GB and completely starting over? [10:37] llutz, so how do I get into grub? can I run it in a terminal from another install? [10:37] okay llutz ill try [10:37] duncan-nz: If you want *everything*, perhaps you want Drive Imaging (in the earlier link). But for most cases, you should only backup your /home and /etc [10:37] d [10:37] duncan-nz: the live-cd has a repair-grub-option i think [10:38] kinja-sheep, i'm trying to move my whole installation, not do backup. [10:38] Hello is it possible to during the mount to specify a certain user who can have permission to write to the mount point ? Eg. allowing user john to write a file to the mount point ? [10:38] duncan-nz: "Drive imaging is basically the copying of every byte of data within a certain section of a hard drive; be it just a partition or an entire drives contents." [10:38] the grub thing: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [10:38] vick: for non-unix-fs you can use uid/gid option [10:38] are there any tools like startupmanager for managing grub2 graphically? [10:39] how can i get my optical spdif output working on ubuntu 9.10, i can mess around with all values in the standard mixer, set the hardware to Digital Stereo (IEC958) output + analog stereo input. Tryed every option, no one is working... any ideas? [10:39] llutz, By non-unix-fs you mean ext3, etc.. ? [10:39] vick: no, those are unix-fs [10:39] llutz, I mean you mean non ext3, etc.. ? [10:39] duncan-nz: Still, do make backup so you won't be too concerned about your data. [10:39] vick: i mean vfat/ntfs [10:39] llutz, What about for unix-fs then ? :D [10:39] vick: chown/chmod [10:40] kinja-sheep, done that, good advice. [10:41] llutz, Doesn't work... i do a chown john.john mountpoint, then ls -la gives root root again [10:41] vick: there is no such mount-option for unix-fs, you have to use chown or chmod to set apropriate rights. [10:41] vick: fs has to be mounted [10:42] llutz, it is mounted,. [10:42] vick: sudo mount /dev/foo /mnt/bar; sudo chown -R john:john /mnt/bar [10:42] cool llutz [10:42] hi [10:42] i timed it with time dd if=...... bs=4M and i got 130MB/s [10:43] llutz, Yeah that doesn't work. I am not sure if it matters, but i am trying to mount a shared folder from a guest virtual machine (of the host virtual machine) [10:43] i tried bs=1, bs=10, bs=1K, bs=4096 etc [10:43] was all slow [10:43] but bs=4M makes it faster [10:43] thanks [10:43] vick: shared folder = smfs/nfs mount? [10:43] llutz, no, it's a unix fs, it's an unbuntu host with ubuntu guest [10:44] hey, I'm copying a bunch of files in Ubu 9.04 from an ext3 to vfat filesystem. Somehow all caps files such as MSDOS.SYS get converted to lowercase, and this breaks my CRC checking scripts. WTF? [10:44] so i wouldnt say dd is slow llutz [10:44] are there any graphics tools yet, that allow grub2 to be managed graphically [10:44] brokendisk: "sometimes fast" [10:44] ok [10:45] llutz, i parted picks up the same thing that gparted does... lol that makes total sense doesnt it? what did you exactly want me to try with parted? [10:45] grub gui:http://www.ubuntugeek.com/startup-manager-change-settings-in-grub-grub2-and-usplash.html [10:45] ae86-drifter1: sorry, gpart i meant, not parted. typo [10:46] ae86-drifter1: but before messing with partitions you should make sure to have a fresh backup [10:46] llutz, if i have a total backup i may as well just start over again [10:47] wipe the whole drive [10:47] laters [10:47] my initial problem was that gparted didnt pick up my partitions... so how would it be useful? [10:47] ae86-drifter1: the partitiontable seems to be corrupted, you'll have to fix it before you can change anything [10:48] ae86: fdisk ? [10:48] kuchi, what do i do with fdisk? [10:48] fdisk -l does this print your part-tables? [10:48] "fdisk -l" [10:49] yes, it prints them all fine === om26er_ is now known as om26er [10:49] and i can use nautilus to browse and also mount through cli and open files etc fine [10:49] sure you start gparted as root? (sudo) [10:50] kuchi, yes [10:51] ae86: i did'nt noticed the start of your problem...so what do you want to do with you rpartitions? [10:51] i want to wipe opensuse and mandriva partitions (5 in total) then install ubuntu [10:52] ill pastebin my fdisk partition table if you want?

[10:57] kuchi, no im on the ubuntu live cd, my backup is about 25% now [10:58] kuchi, should i use fdisk to just delete all the linux partitions and leave windows there? thats where all my important files are, this shouldnt interfere at all with my data right? [10:58] to delete all these partitions with fdisk is riski if you didn't know what you do so i would mak emy backups and restart to windows and delete thenm form there if there if no way to do it with gparted [10:59] kuchi, one min, ill risk it [10:59] here is a good fdisk howto [10:59] with fdisk [10:59] yes using fdisk is risk. I have experience [10:59] http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Partition/fdisk_partitioning.html [10:59] what piece of software in Ubuntu would automatically change the status of caps & num lock from time-to-time? mysteriously they turn on by themselves [10:59] ae86: use gparted instead [10:59] if you fail try it with: http://wubi-installer.org/ from the windows installation [10:59] ok wish me luck [10:59] oasa gparted didn't work for him [11:00] why? [11:00] Oasa, thats my isssue, i cant [11:00] you can delete the partitions form windows ind install ubuntu with http://wubi-installer.org/ [11:00] okay ae86 : all thhe best. [11:00] good luck! [11:01] kuchi : why not parted? [11:01] ae86: try parted [11:01] Oasa, i have tried, it doesnt pick up my part table, only fdisk does, [11:01] ae86: thats strange. [11:02] when i goto delete a partition, it says select part no (1-8) how do i know which number is my linux partitions? [11:02] u can type print all [11:02] ae86: type "print" or "print all" [11:02] I want to see the start up programs while they are being run on ubuntu as opposed to that graphical screen that gives 'loading', how can i do that ? [11:02] vick : press ctrl alt f2 at teh time of loading [11:03] Oasa, is there no other way that having to do it every time ? [11:03] ok this might be a stupid question, but i want to be 100% sure, sdb1 = partition number 1? and sdb2 = no.2 etc ?? [11:04] vick : I dont know [11:05] vick: i think you can modify the boot option from grub to make it cui loading [11:05] help! my gnome-panel is not working correctly because nothing is shown on it [11:05] ok im going to write the partition table, ive only got sdb1 and sdb2 left out of 8 here we go....

I need to check if certain things ran [11:06] Oasa, Because i am adding there some custom scripts that i want to run at start up, and no i have no way of checking if they did run [11:06] Oasa : how do you do that [11:06] rob215: you have to remake it. Programs menu everything is availabe from add to panel [11:06] vick, log viewer?

[11:36] hello, where can i change the behavior of word-moving in the terminal? i don't want the cursor to stop on dots '.' when doing ctrl+right / ctrl+left [11:36] nefast: just remember that the panel will increase to accommodate the size of the icon, 30px high panel will hold any icon 30px high or smaller [11:37] That's my problem [11:37] fdsik -l [11:37] bullgard if there is bt dongle or bt build-in, i assume it will work fine [11:37] I try to get my panel as small as possible. [11:37] OERHER [11:38] nefast: you can always try and see what happens, killing the panel doesn't hurt anythiing [11:38] OerHeks: I am sorry but what do you mean by "Bluetooth dongle" and "Bluetooth build-in"? [11:38] nefast : YOu can reduce the size or use auto hide. [11:39] I created a 1*18 image, but it still uses the classic icon, ardchoille [Sorry if this appears multiple times, #ubuntu tells me I am not registered for some reason] [11:39] bullgard bt-dongle = bt-usb stick and build-in = build-in inside computer/laptop [11:39] Oasa, yes, I chose a height of 18 pixels in the preferences, but it still uses the 24 pixel high icon.

[11:40] HI [11:40] ardchoille, yep. === otswim is now known as babalu [11:40] silv3r_m00n: I'm guessing 64bit. [11:40] hi, How can i get the system mail (mbox thing) from a mail client like thunderbird ? [11:41] silv3r_m00n: Dual core? [11:41] nefast: Are you running Ubuntu karmic? [11:41] Ah, yes. [11:41] Might that be the problem? [11:41] silv3r_m00n: depends of ram [11:41] I should have mentioned that. [11:41] kinja-sheep: intel i7 with 4gb ram [11:41] silv3r_m00n: depends, u want easy bake n' shake oven mode forever? [11:41] The tutorial is for 9.04? [11:41] nefast: not really, that tutorial works for Jaunty, hardy, karmic and a few others [11:41] silv3r_m00n, if you get the 32bit then install linux-generic-pae to get all 4 GB [11:41] cHarNe2: mostly web development and as fast as it can be [11:42] nefast: Sounds like you're missing a step or you have the wrong directory structure in ~/.icons [11:42] bazhang: means ? [11:42] i am trying to install ubuntu 9.10 from an usb stick but i cant make it === babalu is now known as otswim [11:42] Hmm, I'll check it properly [11:42] bazhang: without that how much ram will be usable [11:42] oof... [11:42] can someone help [11:42] silv3r_m00n: 3GB. [11:42] silv3r_m00n: use 32bit, its safer w/ drivers and so on [11:42] silv3r_m00n, its a package that will allow you to use all in 32bit [11:42] silver, I have 4GB and use it with 32bit on a 64bit processor [11:42] silv3r_m00n: you can install both because 32 bit version have pae kernal wutch will recognize all your ram [11:43] DOES UBUNTU [11:43] hmm, by the way what's the difference in 32 and 64bit apart from longer integers [11:43] dose ubuntu only see 3GB of ram? [11:43] silv3r_m00n 4 gb -- 128 mb -- memory videocard [11:43] Hmm, /.icons/Humanity-Dark/24x24/places , that's where I placed my icon. [11:43] whoops silv3r_m00n (sorry silver) [11:43] ive been trying to get this adapter to work for the past 6 hours -_- i seriously need to just sit down with someone and hash this out [11:43] VirusTB: If you're using 32bit and does have more than 3GB of ram. [11:43] Trebesan, paid support? [11:43] VirusTB, depends if you have linux-generic-pae installed or not [11:43] how much does that run? [11:43] kingmanor, so I am limited to 3 GB ram on my macbook even though I have 4GB installed [11:43] hello, I've got a problem with my cd/dvd not being auto mounted on the gnome desktop [11:44] will 64bit bring any additional benefits ? [11:44] silv3r_m00n: only problem w/ 32bit is that u cant allocate all 4 gb [11:44] Trebesan, dunno. Check the ubuntu website [11:44] bazhang, so how can i have it make use of AND see my system as 4GB ram? [11:44] silv3r_m00n: Faster encoding on DVD and whatnot. [11:44] kinja-sheep: means ? [11:44] VirusTB, install linux-generic-pae [11:44] DrSyk, how could i check if an adapter was mounted. [11:45] silv3r_m00n: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/32bit_and_64bit [11:45] bazhang, sudo apt-get install linux-generic-pae [11:45] hello, automounting cd/dvd's on the gnome desktop stopped working for me, how do I fix it? [11:45] VirusTB, yes [11:45] Trebesan, a network adapter? [11:45] yes [11:45] silv3r_m00n: I'd suggest amd64 (to take full advantage of your hardware) and I have all amd64 running on my laptop + 2 machines. [11:45] bazhang, ah ok... wel im playing with a LIVE cd so i'll note that down when im ready to install it on mu macbook [11:45] my* [11:46] I think you've mistaken me for a linux expert, but I'd suppose that the device should show up in /var/log/dmesg or under /dev. [11:46] amd64 ? [11:46] kinja-sheep: means the amd64 version of ubuntu ? [11:46] silv3r_m00n: Yes. [11:46] the x86_64 ? [11:46] lol, im just asking anyone who will help at this point. [11:47] silv3r_m00n: yes amd64 is name for 64 bit version [11:47] silv3r_m00n: Yes. [11:47] oh [11:47] Trebesan : What do you mean by an adapter is mounted ? [11:47] that page recommends 64 bit ubuntu [11:47] so all drivers would work fine like 32bit ? [11:47] drbobb : gedit etc/fstab [11:47] I have postgresql-8.4 installed (via apt-get) but it is not launched right after booting even though it does have all the proper /etc/rc.*/ K- and S- files. It is not mentioned in syslog, daemon.log or bootstrap.log - what am I doing wrong? Am I looking at the wrong log files? [11:48] currently all my printer scanner camera webcams are working fine [11:48] bazhang, what kind of system checks can I run from terminal on a live cd?? [11:48] bazhang, sorry for asking such noob question, but just got a macbook on ebay, and dint get the install disc's with it :( [11:49] VirusTB, what else did you wish to check? running processes or some other [11:50] 0asis speak!

[11:50] Oerkkes,thanks now i understand about repository [11:50] heh I came up with the bright idea that restarting dbus might fix my cd/dvd issue, but it just killed my session and locked up the machine [11:50] bazhang, not really, just want to lik do a system diagnostics [11:50] Rob215 yes [11:50] drbobb : obviously it does [11:51] bazhang, i did Memtest already, i know how the processor / ram installed... audio works, video works, wifi works... what else should I be checking? [11:51] VirusTB: You can do the short version "sudo lshw -short > ~/Desktop/$(hostname).txt" [11:51] Oasa: well but i still don't know why cd/dvd notification stopped working for me [11:52] VirusTB, that seems to pretty complete as far as I can tell [11:53] bazhang, ok question Im not sure if you can answe this, but my keyboard is german, i changed it to US.. but my backspace and arrow keys (up n down, left n right) dont seem to work? could that just be the keyboard layout i have? or the keys dont work @ all? [11:53] hello [11:53] It doesn't look like I did something wrong, ardchoille :C [11:53] VirusTB, you could try and set the kb layout and check [11:54] http://i45.tinypic.com/15dvrwm.png [11:54] mati [11:54] drbob : all you ahve to do is gedit /etc/fstab to automount [11:54] hi, what should I use as CATALINA_HOME for tomcat6 on karmic ?

[11:55] nefast: See my pm [11:55] VirusTB: Np. If you want the HTML version (long), just swap out -short with -html [11:56] Oasa: i don't think that is the point [11:56] I made no changes to my fstab, and what used to work suddenly stopped [11:56] kinja-sheep, i need to learn al these command n stuff :( used ubuntu for like 3 weeks and then stopped [11:56] kinja-sheep i neeed to get back on my ubuntu vibe!

It works just fine when I run /etc/init.d/nginx start and /etc/init.d/postgresql-8.4 start but they not start on their own which is rather annoying.

[12:28] that is: the Ubuntu running on an external USB HDD [12:28] ok, i see [12:28] Malkavian: But when I go to Windows 7 in Grub computer restarts [12:29] harsha : Are you sure that its only boot problem and windows 7 still exists in /dev/sda 1 - 3?

They are eerily same. If you're following !usb instructions, you can get it to run. [12:32] correct [12:32] note that your bios needs to support booting as does your bootloader [12:32] kokozedman: of course the real world is not that simple ;/ [12:32] hi, please i need to change my surname in the pgp key i did with seahorse.

[14:13] erUSUL: oh I see, then my cpu is 64, but my ubuntu is 32 then.

I can't find up to date ubuntu package but I found a debian package http://packages.debian.org/sid/ejabberd [14:22] Davedan: mixing distros is in general A Bad Idea ™ [14:22] Davedan: not a good idea; they are not compatible for the most part ... [14:22] so what can I do? [14:23] ™ hahahah [14:23] building from source is hard to maintain [14:23] ravenger, fix resolution or Hz? [14:23] I don't understand why ubuntu waits years until it update packages :) [14:23] isn't there unstable packages or something? [14:23] Davedan: is the new version really needed; i.e. has new features you actually want to use? === gilgamesh_ is now known as gilgamesh__ [14:23] trijntje: i new bie for the linux so waht is the command [14:23] Davedan: updated packages are included in the releases, and releases are released every six months === gilgamesh__ is now known as gilgamesh_ [14:24] erUSUL: yes [14:24] Davedan: ubuntu isn't a rolling release distro [14:24] trijntje: do i have to do it in the console [14:24] system->preferences -> screen ;) [14:24] Davedan: maybe someone makes packages aviable in a ppa ? [14:24] !ppa | Davedan [14:24] Myrtti: is there a place where the community update packages? === gilgamesh_ is now known as gilgamesh [14:24] trijntje: i logged in now using the live cd === gilgamesh is now known as gilgamesh__ [14:25] erUSUL: is ppa considered safe to use? [14:25] Davedan: you can always search launchpad for ppa's, but with the knowledge that you will not get any support from here to software installed from them [14:25] trijntje: i cant see any thing to change the resolution in gui [14:25] Davedan: ie. "on your own discretion and risk" [14:25] ravenger, thats not your system, just the cd [14:25] Davedan: it depends on who mantains that ppa. anyone can make a ppa you only need a launchpad account. so quality varies greatly [14:25] Anyone familiar with h264 ts streams? Can't find an app to cut and reencode mit dreambox recorded streams... tried latest avidemux (crash), mencoder with h264es demuxer (only video), ffmpeg (cant get ffmpeg to remove the subtitle stream, input stream count vs output count).

[14:26] Davedan: no problem [14:27] asds [14:27] ? [14:27] erUSUL: I think that the recent version is not too different in terms of packaging on the source is different [14:27] Davedan: dunno i do not do packaging myself ;) maybe in #ubuntu-motu you get better answers to that [14:27] erUSUL: I mean that the boot script is similar [14:27] trijntje: so i have to change the resolution using the live cd . that will solve the problem right ! [14:27] erUSUL: ok [14:27] ravenger, i dont understand, why are you on the live cd? [14:28] spam^ [14:29] trijntje: because the linux that i have installed is showing just a blur screen through which i can see nothing so to find the remedy i loged the irc using the live cd [14:29] trijntje: now what shall i do [14:30] ravenger, what is blurred screen? just hard to read or black? [14:31] trijntje: not black actually filled with all kinds of colors [14:31] ravenger, so nothing is visible in fact? [14:31] trijntje: when a tv goes bad the kind of screen you get [14:31] trijntje: yes [14:32] trijntje: is there any solution [14:32] trijntje: i am very tensed [14:32] ravenger, crt or lcd ?

[14:35] AnAnt, sure you did'T have caplocks on ? linux is case sensitive [14:35] Pelo: yes, no capslock [14:35] Pidgen [14:35] AnAnt: do you get an error or something? [14:35] er Pidgin [14:35] nastas: nope [14:36] Chard1: no wonder.. that's a good IM client but not a good IRC client.. install xchat (not xchat-gnome) or irssi for cli [14:36] ok tnx [14:36] what is say? wrong pass? just explain exactly what is happening during boot [14:36] AnAnt, at the bottom of the gdm screen there is a bar with various thingyins on it , depending on your theme, one of them is a selector for the type of session, you might want to try out a few of the shoices, maybe one of them will work , [14:36] nastas: no problem during [14:37] Pelo: ok, will try that [14:37] Anyone here has a Asus P7P55D-E ?

[14:38] ravenger1, I don'T know much about lcd problems, maybe the same type of refresh thing applies but .... did you go and try to set a higher resolution for the netbook ? [14:38] Pelo: Failsafe Gnome works. Gnome & xterm fail [14:38] Chardl - ok, not too sure then as I use irssi. You can set ignores = ( { mask= "PARTS"; level = "JOINS"; }, {level = "JOINS PARTS QUITS MODES"; channels = ( "#ubuntu" ); } in your irssi.conf file for irssi. You may be abel to do a similar thing with pidgin [14:39] thanks [14:39] so ? [14:39] AnAnt, well you are half way there then, log out properly and try to log back in to a regular gnome session again [14:39] Chard1: or follow epinky's link above :) [14:39] Pelo: no Pelo actually i just installed the graphics drivers from the unbuntu forum and the rebooted then i got the screen with all the colors and i cannot see any anything [14:39] danand: fiddling with irssi config file is not the best way of doing it, when you can do it from irssi itself, btw [14:39] scunizi: wondering if im the only one that got a board that emits high piched noises or its realy defective (Ive heard of another guy that had the same) [14:39] Pelo: I did try that, but it still fails [14:40] Pelo: only failsafe gnome works, and it looks just like the normal Gnome session [14:40] ravenger1, there you go , wrong driver , can you get a console ? [14:40] guys am using a 3g usd modem which is okay. I just need to know how to find out the signal strenght. Any ideas? [14:40] Pelo:yeah i think so [14:40] djtoast: you're sure it's the board and not a fan or HD ? [14:40] AnAnt, did you remove anyting by anychance uninstalled some application trying to clean your system up ? [14:40] Pelo: what shall i do there [14:40] !info openssl [14:41] ravenger1, hold on, I'll get you a the correct command I don't know it by heart I have to look it up [14:41] Pelo: do i have undo the installation [14:41] Pelo: yeah sure [14:41] i downloaded and installed linux-headers-2.6.32-020632_2.6.32-020632_all.deb and then i ran update-grub but it didn't show up in the list of kernels when updating grub, any ideas? [14:41] Pelo: nope, except that I booted with an old kernel 2.6.28 before that failure happened [14:41] uh, ubottu, where are you? o_O [14:41] !hello [14:41] theadmin: the server is being attacked [14:41] Pelo: but I did login using 2.6.28 kernel, and it was fine [14:41] Myrtti: What? By who? O_O [14:41] andresmh: 1) you installed headers 2) why are you even doing that? [14:41] andresmh: why should a kernel appear when installing headerfiles? [14:42] theadmin: it's being looked at [14:42] ravenger1, get to a console and type this command in sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg hopefully that will reset the driver [14:42] Pelo: thank i will try [14:42] AnAnt, that is most probably part of the problem do you know if you are booting the old driver or the new one when you are failing to log in ? [14:42] andresmh: linux-image-xxxx is what you need [14:43] scunizi: its the board. [14:43] #vasto [14:43] scunizi: comes from the powerregulators on the board. [14:43] sometimes when I boot into 9.10 after an upgrade my gnome panel freezes up. I don't have any of the short cuts up on the top bar. any way to fix that? [14:43] jrib, llutz : i want to do it because i have a lot of issues with video performance that i was told could be fixed by a new kernel. I obviously don't know what I am doing. Where would I find the image? I tried searching for a PPA with recent "kernel" but couldn't find one... [14:43] Pelo: currently I am booting using the new kernel, so it should be the new driver [14:44] Pelo: you mean that when I booted in old kernel, then back to new kernel, I'm not using KMS anymore ? [14:44] is there a PPA for the latest kernel? [14:44] Yes But It Does'nt Work [14:44] AnAnt, , I suggest you log in with that safety session and do sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade , then restart , hopefully that will fix it , if not we can look into broken packages [14:45] djtoast: I'd do a warranty exchange with them.. unless you can just return it.. Asus cust. serv. use to be pretty good [14:45] Oi, pessoal. [14:45] AnAnt, you said it worked fine before you booted into an older kernel, I was wondering which kernel you wer booting when you got the login fail [14:45] Hi... I'm having a problem with KVM on an AMD64 processor /w 32 bit userspace. This is a known bug, and I upgraded to Lucid to hopefully fix it, but unfortunately the problem is still there.

[14:46] !es | marcos_ [14:46] marcos_: #ubuntu-es :-) [14:47] ubottu off line ? [14:47] Pelo: yes. [14:47] Pelo: it worked fine when I booted with the older kernel indeed, then when I rebooted in new kernel (2.6.31) it failed === hammockhero_ is now known as hammockhero === cryptk is now known as cryptk|work [14:48] AnAnt, like I said, get back in with the gnome recovery session thing, and do the uptade upgrade, then try to login to a regular session agin, if that doesn'T work , safety session and look for broken packages [14:48] scunizi: I RMAed it to get another one however now they say the will refund me instead. Any suggestions on a p55 board? [14:48] !br | marcos_ [14:48] Pelo: I did update & upgrade, but it only updated rythmbox [14:49] AnAnt, some dud yesterday had asimilar problem because he uninstalled stuff, try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop that will reload all the packages that might be missing [14:49] does anyone know of any fixes for visualboy advance? It worked fine in Jaunty, but now that I'm on karmic, it freezes every 10-15 minutes. [14:49] djtoast: the last machine I built I did with a xfs board.. I'm happy but it sure likes to beep on boot.. one for every usb device plugged it. [14:49] *in [14:50] test [14:50] wow... this because of last night's attack? all these removals? [14:50] ah.

[14:51] last night.. this network came under attack [14:51] how do I find the info on my graphics card in Ubuntu 9.04? [14:51] iframe exploit ftw [14:51] onetinsoldier, the attack is still going on , it'as automated , when ever anyone click one fo the links it usues their isp to launch another bunch of dcc [14:51] UbuntuN00B: ls pci [14:51] ahh. [14:51] iframe dcc? [14:51] It's still going on!!?! omg... i want to find the sob [14:52] * some_guy_at_work nods [14:52] Pelo: It's still going on!!?! omg... i want to find the sob [14:52] AnAnt, , that means you weren'T missing a package , that's good at least , now we just need to figure out what's not working [14:52] lets move on from talking about it, the more attention we give to it, the more it may motivate the attacker. [14:52] back to support issues! [14:52] Pelo: I dunno what log file to look at [14:52] devunt: yep [14:52] onetinsoldier, #ubuntu just has better floodbots they are helping keeping it down [14:52] Pelo: cool :-) [14:52] I ignore that. [14:52] anajo, let me have a look , I'm not sure which one either [14:52] how do I find the info on my graphics card in Ubuntu 9.04? [14:53] lspci [14:53] UbuntuN00B: in termina type lspci [14:53] terminal* [14:53] thank you :) [14:54] How do I keep Ubuntu from dimming the screen when running on battery? [14:54] UbuntuN00B: for a nice giu check out 'lshw-gtk' [14:54] Is ubuntu one open source? Mean the server part/deamon [14:55] UbuntuN00B: oops, gui* [14:55] AnAnt, you might want to look into syslog messages auth.log [14:55] AnAnt, that's the best I can do for you , I have no idea what is going on with your comp [14:56] Sorry for the repeat. I think my first question got drowned :( Does anyone know of a fix for VisualBoy Advance? It used to work just fine in Jaunty, but when I upgraded to karmic, it started freezing every 15 minutes of use (ish). [14:57] Hoi, for some reason gimp-2.6 won't run after installing gimp 2.7 [14:57] lshw-gui? [14:57] dane, we don'T have all the answers, sorry, google and www.ubuntuforums.org are your freinds, you might also want to look for a visualboy channel [14:57] dane: hi. do you know if visualboy got upgraded during the dist-upgrade to karmic? [14:58] Thanks pelo. [14:58] enthdegree, that's probably because one replaces the other [14:58] Hello. [14:58] hi [14:58] I did a completee wipe and fresh install, so I reinstalled vba from the karmic repository. [14:58] I have a problem with Karmic: I'm mount home directory at boot over NFS in fstab and if the server isn't available, the boot simply hangs instead of timeouting. [14:59] I have run 'apt-get remove --purge gimp gimp-data libgimp-2.0' and gotten rid of the repository, but it still pops open the message: " [14:59] UbuntuN00B, lspci | grep -i vga [14:59] The GIMP binary cannot run with a libgimp version [14:59] Any ideas how to prevent the hang and make it mount local homes? [14:59] other than its own. This is GIMP 2.6.7, but the [14:59] libgimp version is 2.7.0. [14:59] dane: so, you installed karmic totally fresh and clean? hmmm [14:59] hello [14:59] i need help [14:59] im totally noob to MySql nd ubuntu [15:00] Mavrik: did you considered using NIS ? [15:00] i m tryin to install Word Press on my home box [15:00] enthdegree, the hidden folder for gimp in your /home folder maybe ? [15:00] this is the error it shows Error establishing a database connection [15:00] AkhlD, #ubuntu-server [15:00] epinky: NIS? [15:00] I have already gotten rid of ~/.gimp* [15:00] APERSON, its not server [15:00] dane: you could to check on whether or not a newer version visualboy is available from source on the internet and try to compile it to see if that fixes the issue [15:00] AkhlD, but you're running one [15:00] Linux akhldz 2.6.31-14-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 16 14:04:26 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux [15:01] enthdegree, maybe the ppl in #gimp-user have a clue [15:01] petsounds whats that for? [15:01] Ok, I'll try over there. (c: [15:02] enthdegree, you might also want to try forcing the package version in synaptic [15:02] UbuntuN00B, to get information about your video card. [15:02] Is there any way to upgrade a 32bit system to 64bit? I'm having a problem with a KVM virtualisation bug which is a problem only on a 32bit userspace running on an AMD64 processor. [15:02] hi [15:02] I type it into terminal? [15:02] pav5088: No, I think reinstall is the only option. [15:03] the problem is that i have an encrypted system that needs kernel command line args so that the kernel knows where the luks encrypted partition is. but when i do update-grub it includes the kernels by default in /boot but i need custom args. also how will grub2 work with dual boot 2 linux distros that both have grub2 installed ? [15:03] UbuntuN00B, yes. open a terminal and type lspci | grep -i vga [15:03] I'm done for now. Sorry again. [15:03] pav5088, you can'T upgrade that way , you need ot reinstall , but it you have your /home on a seperate partiton that should be easy enougth, you can probabloy also use get-selection to save a list of all your packages for a one command reinstall of your appl afterwards [15:03] Pici, good job :-) [15:03] Pici, thank you ... [15:04] hi all, i ahve some problems with my ubuntu 8.04 xen installation. i want to install a ubuntu 9.10 dumU but what i can read on the net 9.10 request kernel 2.6.31> so can i find kernel 2.6.31 for 8.04 ? need it to start my new 9.10 domus [15:04] I'm trying to uninstall old kernels. I use command: ls -l /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image-* to see what kernels I still have left. I see linux-image-2.6.20-15 and a couple others but when I try to delete them, I get error: Couldn't find package linux-image-2.6.20-15* See: http://pastebin.com/faac27c5 [15:04] Pelo and jpds : Thanks for the info... *sighs* perhaps I'll just have to bite the bullet. [15:04] the problem is that i have an encrypted system that needs kernel command line args so that the kernel knows where the luks encrypted partition is. but when i do update-grub it includes the kernels by default in /boot but i need custom args. also how will grub2 work with dual boot 2 linux distros that both have grub2 installed ? [15:04] thanks but neither your way or the other guys way told me the actual MB's only the card name. [15:04] pav5088, you have little choice [15:06] UbuntuN00B: what info do you need? [15:06] so do I need to install this "lshw-gtk" for a GUI? [15:06] UbuntuN00B: have you tried out 'lshw-gtk'? [15:06] yes.. you need to install it [15:07] Hi, I want to buy a laptop with a "Multi Gesture pad". Can I use it in Ubuntu? The laptop is a Packard Bell Easynote TR87 DT-029 [15:07] Threetimes, that's all handled by drivers [15:07] kk I have to wait cause Ubuntu is updating like 200+mb's right now lol [15:07] roger, hehe [15:08] APERSON: you're sure it will work? where will it work? [15:08] question after updating if I click the upgrade to 9.10 will that affect anything from 9.04? [15:08] Here is what I have http://pastebin.com/f8b7ae05 [15:08] Threetimes, all handled by drivers: ie, the gesture support is limited to the operating system that comes with the laptop [15:09] UbuntuN00B: you're runnning 9.04? i don't think you want to upgrade to 9.10 [15:09] hi, I having problems to connect to the internet. When I click the small network icon on upper right corner there is no eth0 connected is this normal? What is happening? [15:09] lol kk, 9.10 that bad huh? [15:09] It wil come with Vista, but I'll install ubuntu instead (duh!) [15:09] UbuntuN00B: if you want 9.10, i recommend installing it from scratch [15:09] ahh alright [15:10] UbuntuN00B: you're welcome to try an upgrade to it, but it's just that i would recommend an install from scratch [15:10] Nikki Ventura. [15:10] marcelo, clean install ? i had a similar problem at one point I needed to disable ipv6 in the network comf [15:10] funny story is I tried 9.10 from scratch but it kept freezing at 98% so I decided to try 9.04 and it worked [15:10] marcelo: "sudo ifconfig -a" ,is eth0 available? [15:10] UbuntuN00B: ahhh, roger that [15:11] so I didn't know if ince I naly got ubuntu on here if trying to go from 9.04 to 9.10 would pose a problem [15:11] sorry wireless keyboard didnt pick up some letters lol [15:12] !upgrade | UbuntuN00B [15:12] UbuntuN00B: hard to say. how well a dist-upgrades goes, can vary pretty wildy [15:12] epinky, This is the output http://codepad.org/BHrSULHu [15:12] Pelo, I do no remember of any error message during installation ... [15:13] UbuntuN00B: i will say, if you want to try a dist-upgrade, the best time to try it is right after a fresh install of the version below it [15:13] maybe I'll swap HDD's and try on a spare first [15:13] Hi, I want to buy a laptop with a "Multi Gesture pad". Can I use it in Ubuntu? What gestures will work? The laptop is a Packard Bell Easynote TR87 DT-029 [15:13] Packard Bell?! [15:13] You mean HP [15:13] wtf? [15:13] some_guy_at_work: I mean Packard Bell [15:14] !netsplit [15:14] looked like a Netpsplit [15:14] yeah [15:14] UbuntuN00B: it's a netsplit, nothing to be worried about [15:14] I have no idea how irc works lol [15:14] marcelo, it doesn'T show as a problem during install, it just enables ipv6 and that's a problem when you get to trying to connect, just go in the network manager thingy look around and if you see ipv6 enabled uncheck it or someting [15:14] I'll go to bad now [15:14] if one person is fixing my system remotely using ssh how do i find what command /what he is using [15:14] it's 12:14 am [15:14] UbuntuN00B, not a good time to learn, this network is under attach [15:14] Hi folks [15:15] marcelo: so, eth0 is there but it's not configured [15:15] bye [15:15] sporedi: been a long time.. but i think the 'who' command [15:15] I know but the lingo of netsplit had me in curiosity haha [15:15] yes i check with who it only give ip [15:16] sporedi: try to talk to him... use the 'wall' command, hehe [15:16] epinky, I do not know how to configure it manually ... could guide me on that? [15:16] sporedi: "w" [15:16] sporedi: who command will tell you who is logged into your system. You might also be able to get constant updates with the "top" command [15:16] Hi, I want to buy a laptop with a "Multi Gesture pad". Can I use it in Ubuntu? What gestures will work? The laptop is a Packard Bell Easynote TR87 DT-029 [15:16] ...packard bell [15:16] this is one irc question I think is good to know cause I have no idea but how do you reply to someone like you reply to me in another color? [15:17] marcelo: sure, you need some info like, ip address default getway and DNS if you need it [15:17] UbuntuN00B: prefix the message with their nickname [15:17] sporedi: ok, maybe it's not the who command. i'll try to keep looking for the command. ask the question again. maybe someone else knows [15:17] UbuntuN00B: it's called hilighting someone === AnAnt_ is now known as AnAnt [15:17] some_guy_at_work: I don't care what you think about any brand, so please say something more useful... [15:17] UbuntuN00B: strart by typing the first few letters of their name and hit the tab key to complete. that will highlight them [15:18] IdleOne Hi [15:18] Threetimes: it wont, as ubuntu doesnt have support for that [15:18] that work> [15:18] ? [15:18] UbuntuN00B: that worked [15:18] ok.. Packard Bell is Acer [15:18] Threetimes: also, keybindings are way more usefull then using a mouse :/ [15:18] oh i figured it would look like it on mine too haha [15:18] some_guy_at_work: be helpful please [15:18] My panels are constantly erroring and wont let me touch them.I do not know the error, but it has something todo with just setting up a dual monitor [15:18] MASARUwota: thanks. But multi-gestures are fun (i think...) [15:19] Threetimes: :/ [15:19] UbuntuN00B: colors depend on your irc-client [15:19] its a hipster "apple"-ish thing to implement. imo [15:19] Wow, the bot is fast. K-lined already [15:19] epinky, I really do not know how to gather this information ... what should I do? [15:20] ki4cgp: Why is ozixsrgc k-lined? [15:20] Threetimes: spam attack [15:20] hello how to mount my cd rom driver [15:20] ? [15:20] llutz I'm on some gogloom.com site [15:20] My panels are constantly erroring and wont let me touch them.I do not know the error, but it has something todo with just setting up a dual monitor. Restarting gdm and restarting the computer as a whole did not work. [15:20] oh... Spam sux [15:20] Threetimes: do not click the link it sent to you, or you become a spammer [15:20] navatwo: so its a GNOME problem? [15:21] marcelo: do you have any other operational computer nearby?, if yes get the info from it [15:21] I think so [15:21] Myrtti: sure? I use opera on ubuntu, not IE on windows?! [15:21] Threetimes: yes. [15:21] marcelo: are you on Ubuntu at this moment? [15:21] It doesn't matter the browser [15:21] epinky, no I do not. unfortunately. [15:21] epinky, yes [15:21] Myrtti, That is good advice pretty much anywhere [15:22] And i didn't see any link, but how should this link work? [15:22] (opera..) [15:22] if you click the link, you are at risk to getting k-lined [15:22] s/to/of [15:22] marcelo: so I suppose eth1 is the interface plugged, right? [15:22] Pelo: thanks, will look into those [15:22] epinky, yes [15:22] noob question, what is K-lined? [15:22] Norse_Nemo: banned from the whole network [15:22] a ban from the server [15:22] not good [15:23] hello how to mount my cd rom drive [15:23] My panels are constantly erroring and wont let me touch them.I do not know the error, but it has something todo with just setting up a dual monitor. Restarting gdm and restarting the computer as a whole did not work. [15:23] haresh: it should do it automaticly [15:23] haresh: what version of Ubuntu are you using? [15:23] can't you get around a ban with a proxy or ip changer?

[15:27] epinky, sorry, but I do not know how to do it . But it must be plugged , I was using the pc yesterday normally, I did not unplugged anything ...

[15:30] Pelo: the other os vista is working fine [15:30] Pelo: except the linux [15:30] ravenger, reinstall linux then , [15:31] ravenger, it's not an elegant solution but it will work [15:31] on 9.10, where would I place a script that I want to run when I suspend to RAM?

There's some tools one can install in the phone, some tools that might work in Ubuntu etc. [15:45] epinky, It wasn't able to stabilish a connection on eth0 some came back to eth1, if it is not a problem at all I will keep it this way. === pdtpatrick__ is now known as pdtpatrick [15:45] ubuntun00b: np let me know when you are ready [15:45] anyone who can sort out ma bluetooth device issue?

[15:46] papul: i think it's alt with numbers [15:46] UbuntuN00B: if you are having freeze issues when trying to install linux, especially in two different versions of Ubuntu(9.04 and 9.10), then i think you should run Memtest86+ to test your system for stability [15:46] Why do my Visual Effects in Apperance default to none? [15:46] papul: like alt+1 for workspace 1, alt+2 for workspace 2 [15:46] marcelo_: have you ever(before upgrade) configured IP's, default gateway and other stuff ? [15:46] all hi [15:47] epinky, no, never. I have no background on this stuff ... [15:47] Akkernight: weak video card? old system? perhaps you need a proprietary driver for your vid card if it's not old and weak [15:47] ubuntun00b: sry if I cant get you to a terminal, its above my level. Your best bet is to reinstall [15:47] maco, doesnt work [15:47] onetinsoldier how do I do that if I can't even log onto Ubuntu? [15:47] jac0, please dont pm, ask here, there will be someone who can help you [15:47] kk [15:47] onetinsoldier, No I can set the Visual Effects to high, but everytime I start it's back on none [15:47] papul: try ctrl or super (windows, apple, sun's diamond, whatever) then, maybe? [15:47] jac0, whats ur prob man? [15:48] UbuntuN00B: when you fire up the Installer CD, there's an option to run Memtest before installing [15:48] marcelo_: then I suppose you've got those addresses on eth1 from some DHCP? do you have a DHCP server/router? [15:48] Akkernight: oh, roger. hmmm, i don't know [15:48] papul, am havin a problem pairing up with ma phone.. [15:48] someone we can discover the password for that e-mail me??

[15:49] onetinsoldier kk let me look [15:49] papul, i did a lil digging and found out that it needs a passkey-agent how do i compile it..am rily stuck.. [15:49] akkernight: either use compiz to use desktop twaeking or uninstall it, I recommend using compiz [15:50] akkernight: youll want to install the settings manager for compiz though [15:50] Norse_Nemo, compiz is that desktop cube thing isn't it? [15:50] epinky, no, after installing ubuntu yesterday I just installed apache server mysql and some other packages that I suppose have nothing to do with this issue ... [15:50] akkernight: yeas it is, but it does alot more and is highly customizable [15:50] onetinsoldier its running the test right now [15:51] marcelo_: yesterday you had eth0 working? [15:51] UbuntuN00B: roger [15:51] anyone who knows how to workaround with passkey-agents.... [15:51] UbuntuN00B: let it run a while. like 20-30 minutes [15:51] no sound input, ubuntu 9.04, audio card - nVidia Corporation MCP78S [GeForce 8200] High Definition Audio [15:52] onetinsoldier yeah I noticed its taking a while [15:52] epinky, I do not remember, but when I was using 9.04 I had eth0 working ... [15:52] How can i check the expire time of a CA certificate? [15:52] akkernight: if you want to use compiz you will want to install python-compizconfig [15:53] ay guys, 1 ques: how can i remove a name off keyserver.ubuntu.com? [15:53] hello, is anybody familiar with ddrescue? [15:54] brokendisk: I am a little [15:54] i am trying to restore my disk in two runs. after i read the manpage i think i will first try: ddrescue -n /dev/old_disk /dev/new_disk /mnt/usb-stick/rescued.log -- second: ddrescue -r -1 /dev/old_disk /dev/new_disk /mnt/usb-stick/rescued.log [15:54] is this reasonable? [15:54] marcelo_: then don't worry, eth1 is fully operational, using eth0 or eth1 is indifferent [15:55] epinky, Ok, I am grateful for your help. [15:55] marcelo: you're welcome :) [15:56] and how could i create fat partition on my usb stick? fdisk doesn't seem to offer a choice and always creates "linux" partitions [15:56] brokendisk: looks about right but If i remember corectly you can just us -nr rather then -n then -r [15:56] i put an usb stick in and there were like 20 paritions on it, all broken, although it worked on a windows machine, sort of strange [15:56] is there a way of getting rid of the user selection at login in karmic? [15:56] brokendisk: use cfdisk [15:56] onetinsoldierI've been up for so long yawnnn, I'm afraid I'll crash before I finish this but worried if I'd get such good help later lol [15:57] Norse_Nemo: but i want two runs, first save the good things fast, then try the hard parts thoroughly [15:57] UbuntuN00B: lol [15:57] Norse_Nemo: ok thanks, what does the c stand for?

[15:58] hi. i have ubuntu 9.10 and i had win vista before upgrading to win 7. the boot loader is gone. how can i bring it back? [15:59] UbuntuN00B: Linux is a generic term. Ubuntu is a specific distributions. there are 'many' different distribution(distro's). [16:00] Ubuntu is a specific distribution*. [16:00] hey how can i create a fat partition on an usb stick [16:00] jeeez am rily stuck anyone who can help me out...tryna to pair up wit ma phone...how do i get passkey-agent workin...help :-( [16:00] brokendisk: cfdisk not working? [16:00] Norse_Nemo: no :( [16:00] onetinsoldier the GUI or structur the same? [16:00] brokendisk: gparted [16:00] brokendisk: sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdXY [16:01] brokendisk: are you using 9.10 or 9.4 and do you have gnome? [16:01] llutz: it will transform any partition to fat? [16:01] nope [16:01] jeeez am rily stuck anyone who can help me out...tryna pair up wit ma phone...how do i get passkey-agent workin...help :-( [16:01] Norse_Nemo: i am using scommnd line mode [16:01] brokendisk: it just will create a vfat fs [16:01] input not working on 9.04 (nVidia MCP78S, geforce 8200 High Definition Audio) [16:01] ok, I turned on the desktop cube effect, how do I try it? [16:02] llutz: is that exactlyu what i want? [16:02] Akkernight, alt+f11 [16:02] akkernight: it depends on what keys are bond to it [16:02] Akkernight: check keys in compiz settings [16:02] akkernight mine are CTRL+ALT+Drag mouse click [16:02] jeeez am rily stuck anyone who can help me out...tryna pair up wit ma phone...how do i get passkey-agent workin...help :-( [16:02] brokendisk: in dos/windows-terms spoken: format an usb-stick, yes [16:03] llutz: and why is the formerly perfect disk recoganized with countless broken partitions? [16:03] UbuntuN00B: i would say that no one runs just 'Linux'... you need to download and install a 'distro'. however, it wouldn't be true to say that, because you can install LFS, Linux From Scratch. LFS is not a distro. you don't download pre-compiled packages all packaged up in a package manager format. instead, you download the source code for everything and compile from source, for everything [16:03] the usb stick* [16:03] oops Akkernight if you use desktop effects , it's ctrl+f11 [16:03] jeeez am rily stuck anyone who can help me out...tryna pair up wit ma phone...how do i get passkey-agent workin...help :-( [16:03] brokendisk: has it been in superfloppy format (no partitions at all, fdisk shows 4 corrupted partitions)? [16:03] Hi, was wondering is NVIDIA still has the best linux support or ATI is in the game now? [16:04] BluesKaj, nothing happens. BlessJah can't find anything with keys [16:04] djtoast: Nvidia still has the edge [16:04] llutz: it was one working partition before, not sure what, fat probably [16:04] o.k then... [16:04] i think nvidia, i dont have infos that ati support linux [16:04] djtoast: I agree with Norse_Nemo on the Nvidia [16:04] onetinsoldier sounds complicated Ubuntu seems like its probably more user freindly esspecialy for a person who only knows PC's and very well might I add :) [16:04] brokendisk: and, what have you done with it? [16:04] fat32 [16:04] djtoast, I have nvidia , but there are some probs that ati isn't having [16:04] I read that they have support for linux in their drivers now.. so i was wondering.. [16:04] llutz: just put it in and fdisk -l and countless errrors and strange partition errors [16:05] djtoast: they do but Nvidia keeps theirs more feaue rich and up 2 date [16:05] just a sec, will format it with the windows machine to fat [16:05] I c.. so ATI wouldnt have more features.. [16:05] brokendisk: are you sure there was a partition before? superfloppy uses the whole device, that works too [16:06] i dont know what superfloppy is, doubt it was used [16:06] djtoast depends on a lot of things, mostly the card you are using, but If I was to buy top o the line for a linux box I would go with vidia [16:06] brokendisk: windows uses it for removable-media [16:06] UbuntuN00B: yes, LFS is somewhat complicated. to get it installed, you need a linux installation first! which really means that you have to choose a linux distro and install it to even begin to get started with LFS. [16:06] brokendisk: SuperFloppy = 120 mb floppy drive [16:07] Norse_Nemo: wrong [16:07] i think it was fat or fat32 [16:07] llutz: really? [16:07] brokendisk: Superfloppy was a disk that could take regular 1.44 but also 120Mb discs [16:07] would it display as "superfloppy" in the windows dialog? [16:07] onetinsoldier lol sounds like back peddleing [16:07] genii: i doubt it is that... [16:07] brokendisk: nope [16:07] llutz: but as? [16:08] brokendisk: you won't see any difference to partitioned media [16:08] anyway, formatted it as fat now, lets see [16:08] UbuntuN00B: not really. LFS is as bleeding edge as you can get. [16:09] UbuntuN00B: so no errors yet from memtest? [16:10] onetinsoldier I didn't mean dumbing down I just meant the meathod to install it seems like you need to install something before you install it then I take it uninstall the original to just have LFS in the end. [16:10] UbuntuN00B: roger. yeah, it is in that sense [16:10] onetinsoldier 47% and no errors so far [16:10] wow this is sick. again: "this does not look like a partition table, are you sure you selected the correct device?" and then spits like 20 partitions with unknown file systsems and errors [16:10] Norse_Nemo: genii what you mean is "superdisk", super floppy format is just another way to use media without creating partitions [16:10] UbuntuN00B: roger. sorry you are having freezing issues. how new is your system? [16:11] will try a different stick maybe [16:11] llutz: gotcha, thanks for the clear up [16:11] so i downloaded google chrome for ubuntu 9.10 64, and i went to the facebook game restaurant city, and a minute later my 2gigs of ram were full and so was my 1gig of swap. anyone else had any similar experience? [16:11] llutz: Ah, yes [16:12] UbuntuN00B: roger. sorry you are having freezing issues. how new is your system? [16:12] Hallo,ich hab da mal eine Frage! Mein Bildschirm flackert.Woran liegt das? [16:12] !de | dux [16:12] !de | dux [16:12] dux: #ubuntu-de [16:12] ok thanks [16:12] onetinsoldier not very thats why I wanted to play around with it and get rid of Windows on it not to mention I don't think the windows on it was legal to begin with so this was a good alternative. its an AMD 2400 and has 512mb Ram and an ATI 9550 GPU. [16:12] Akkernight: /2 [16:13] sry [16:13] UbuntuN00B: roger === pauljw_vm is now known as pauljw [16:13] onetinsoldier I'm pretty sure I meat the requirments. [16:13] UbuntuN00B: but do you fish the requirements? *ducks* [16:13] onetinsoldier I mean it was working at one point lol [16:14] maco lol huh? [16:14] UbuntuN00B: yeah, you should be fine. i don't know why you'd be having freezing up issues. that usually is indicative of a hardware issue though [16:14] is there a way of getting rid of the user selection at login in karmic? so you type the username i mean... [16:14] hi. I just tried to change my Ubuntu server 9.10 network settings from DHCP to static, and no the server won,t boot. It's stuck at "init: network-interface (eth0) post-stop process (662) terminated with status 1" ... same thing in recovery mode... how can I boot my server and fix this? [16:15] onetinsoldier well it might be the same reason windows was freezing as well :/ [16:15] Hey guys i need help x] my java is playing up :/ [16:15] UbuntuN00B: was a joke since you said "meat" [16:15] UbuntuN00B: yep. i'm sure it is [16:15] onetinsoldier I'm just trying to salvage the PC and not spend anything on it. === root_ is now known as Guest10804 [16:16] UbuntuN00B: i have to leave for several minutes. be back after a bit... good luck [16:16] anyone? [16:16] maco lol yeah "meat" [16:16] Can anyone help me with java :/ [16:16] Yanick_: Can you boot from a CD and edit the /etc/network/interfaces files manually? [16:16] onetinsoldier kk thanks [16:16] areay, gdmsetup [16:16] yanick: did you modify the internface script yourself? [16:17] rougedemon, I hoped you wouldn't say that :) [16:17] alright [16:17] Norse_Nemo, ya [16:18] Norse_Nemo, is there a tool to do that for me? [16:18] yanick: yeah one sec [16:18] yanick: you are running server correct? === ana_ is now known as ana_ubuntera [16:19] Yanick_: nano/vi is the tool of choice for that [16:19] Can anyone help ?!?!?!?!

[16:20] yanick: network-admin [16:20] Gnea: yeh i go on this chat room to talk to my mates and now it aint working : [16:20] ... [16:20] is there a way to get the old behaviour of update-manager back where it puts an icon in the top panel? because i'm sick and effing tired of missing updates because the window pops up below whatever i'm working with [16:20] Norse_Nemo, as soon as I can recuperate my shell, I'll do just that [16:20] mtaftm: the chat itself has been experiencing a lot of problems lately [16:21] anyone running Ubuntu on a PS3? [16:21] Yanick_,in the terminal , eth0=static , then restart with sudo dhclient eth0 [16:21] What d you need to know ubuntunoob ? [16:21] BluesKaj, yeah, except that I can't get into the shell, I can't see my fs from a boot cd, trying to find out where it is and mount it [16:21] Gnea: not this chatroom another one, im just having problems runing java :/ [16:22] mtaftm: at this point, I wouldn't recommend using java for irc, but perhaps something like irssi or xchat [16:22] Yanick_, ok sorry , didn't see that part [16:22] Yanick_: sudo su; fdisk -l from live-cd [16:22] is anyone here using a commandline email client ? [16:22] Gnea: never mind might go back to windows lol [16:22] how can I know if a process is running?

[16:24] macman_: better ask in #mutt [16:24] Purplecat: my aMSN had a problem. it is not responding. I used "top", but I didn't find the aMSN running there... it is kind of messy... [16:24] yanick: are you using ubuntu live cd? [16:24] Yanick_: what kind of live-cd are you using? [16:24] llutz, yes [16:24] llutz: there dead 0_o [16:24] defrysk, gdmsetup only gives me the option to log in as a user automatically, or select one from a list... it's been completely changed... :( [16:24] VCoolio : I want to assign it to something like $ip [16:25] actually whats the linux OS? [16:25] abe3k: ip="$( command)" [16:25] Yanick_: _what kind_ of live-cd are you using? [16:25] the best one that will work with 512mb of ram [16:25] i'm running with the bottom panel set to autohide and i basically _NEVER_ see that there are updates available to install unless i SSH into this machine... whoever decided to do away with the icon showing that updates are available is bleeping braindead [16:25] llutz, Ubuntu Server 9.10 64-bit edition [16:25] Yanick_: even on live-cd there should be fdisk and some usefull tools [16:25] mtaftm: There's no such thing as "the Linux OS"... but, take a look at Arch if you want something lightweight. [16:25] llutz, well, there's not [16:25] mtaftm: Actually, I think Xubuntu would work fine for you too. [16:25] mtaftm: you should not have a problem running most linux distros on 512 megs [16:26] blender problem: libdirectfb-1.0.so.0 not found.. though I have it according to synaptic <- do I really have to uninstall this package? (got alot of packages that will die with it) [16:26] kahen: sudo aptitude update; sudo aptitude dist-upgrade [16:26] Raul_ > aMSN relies on JAVA, it use a lot of power… You should try empathy or pidgin… ;) [16:26] Yanick_: ls -l /dev/sd?? [16:26] mtaftm: I've used Ubuntu (the one with GNOME) on 256 MB, worked. [16:26] mtaftm: I agree with grawity [16:26] Raul_: use emesene [16:26] hello [16:26] !hi|hsa2 [16:26] mtaftm: xubuntu is still very bloated [16:26] Raul_ > Yeah eMeSeNe is grat too ^^ [16:26] blakkheim: i KNOW how to update thank you very much... just update-manager that's retarded after it was changed in 9.10 [16:27] Yanick_ are you using grub ? [16:27] well im using ubuntu and its very slow :/ [16:27] mtaftm: use a light distribution. im running minimal debian with awesomewm here. on a 5year old laptop. =) [16:27] kahen: if you know how then why are you complaining? why do you need a gui for it if you know how to actually do it? [16:27] is it necessary to install from cd everytime ubuntu releases a new version? [16:27] llutz, alright, I mounted the fs [16:27] Hi. I would like to share my 3g connection with other pcs at my home. I'm using Ubuntu, any tips? [16:27] hsa2: no you can upgrade [16:28] !upgrade | hsa2 [16:28] blakkheim: because you know... actually being notified when there are updates is kinda nice [16:28] abe3k: ah, abe3k don't know, use grep and awk on ifconfig to echo network ip if there is no direcht command for it [16:28] hsa2: no you can upgrade via the internet [16:28] erUSUL: but is it the same from installing from cd? [16:28] Purplecat, MASARUwota: thanks! [16:28] instead of just a window popping up which i never see [16:28] kahen: setup a cron job [16:28] MASARUwota: whats a light distribution how do you run it on minaml mate [16:28] i mean, bootscreen, logon screen changes on version [16:28] !mini > mtaftm [16:28] hsa2: it is not the same; you keep the installed packages an all the configurations ;) [16:28] Yanick_: edit /mountpoint/etc/network/interfaces [16:28] ubuntu mini ?! never heard of it [16:28] VCoolio : so I have to make a scrip to filter the output of ifconfig then ? [16:29] Hi. I would like to share my 3g connection with other pcs at my home. I'm using Ubuntu, any tips? [16:29] erUSUL: i don't mean user configurations in /home/ directory [16:29] of course they will be saved [16:29] mtaftm: an ubuntu minimal or debian netinstall would be perfect [16:29] as i said before, i am wondering boot screen and etc [16:29] hsa2: you keep everything; you ge the new program versions [16:29] well, it's not good i think [16:30] so i can't get new eyecandy [16:30] blakkheim : sorry i am new to linux so o i just search ubuntu minimal on google then? [16:30] abe3k: ifconfig | grep "inet addr:192" | awk '{print $2}' [16:30] mtaftm: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [16:30] VCoolio : awesome, I'll give it a try thanks [16:31] !mini | mtaftm [16:31] abe3k: does that work for you? if you want the addr: part gone then pipe to sed also [16:31] Norse_Nemo: already tried that, got no response from the bot [16:31] wtf there only 10 mb ?! [16:31] mtaftm: it's basically a netinstall [16:31] blakkheim: hmm, oh well [16:31] runs of the net yh ? [16:31] mtaftm: installs a barebone that you can install whatever you want to from the net [16:31] VCoolio : it worked verry well but I don't want to include the addr: in the output [16:32] abe3k: hang on, let me try [16:32] yh but can i listen to my music via rythmbox and still use msn on it? [16:32] VCoolio : thanks buddy [16:32] abe3k: ifconfig | grep "inet addr:192" | awk '{print $2}'|sed 's/addr://g' [16:32] tsimpson : perfect :D [16:32] mtaftm: you can install rhythmbox and emesene, yes. if you want i can guide you through the process. that is, if you get another pc and log in there or give me your MSN :X [16:32] mtaftm: no, if you don't install a graphical environment and the apps you want first [16:33] mtaftm: I can almost assure you that you will be able to run Ubuntu on any machine made within the last 10 years [16:33] thanks guys :> [16:33] abe3k: ifconfig | grep "inet addr:192" | awk '{print $2}' | sed 's/addr://' [16:33] mtaftm: it is what it sounds like; a minimal install. it's just a commandline. from there, you can install whatever you want with aptitude [16:33] i have not got another computer [16:34] VCoolio : perfect thaaanks :D [16:34] abe3k: I'm sure it can be done much smarter and geekier, but this works [16:34] ifconfig | awk '/inet addr:192/ '{print $2}' | sed 's/addr://' [16:34] mtaftm: it's a barebone version, that has the minimal set of applications needed - no graphical environment by default. you can cherry pick whatever you want to put on top of that. [16:34] VCoolio : thats good enough for me xD [16:34] you want the 'g' in the end of the sed command [16:34] tsimpson: ok, why? [16:34] Myrtti: i dont think he gets it, and i dont think he understands how a minimal install works anyways [16:34] i dont know if i want to install it, and heres my msn mtaftm@hotmail.co.uk [16:34] VCoolio : you can't imagine how long the scrip I imagined to do was haha [16:34] When I install the Vlan package and configure a VLAN on my eth0 interface my eth0 interface disappears when I reboot, why is this? [16:35] which one should i go for ?! [16:35] mtaftm: are you on MSN atm? [16:35] VCoolio: well, it's not strictly necessary in this case, but it makes the regex apply for the whole input, rather than matching once only [16:35] ill go on now [16:35] tsimpson: I see, found it in my long list of sed oneliners; good to remember [16:35] hi [16:36] lamers [16:36] Hi. How do I get karmic to recognize the contents of /etc/network/interfaces on startup (again)? since I upgraded to karmic I have to manually start the interfaces in /etc/network/interfaces with "ifup " even though there is an entry "auto " in the file. Any ideas? I don't use NetworkManager btw.. [16:36] Ubuntu is looser [16:36] Psycho: looser than what? [16:36] im on msn now, but with this mini one is the desktop the same, it aint like bloody terminal is it ?! [16:36] than fedora [16:36] VCoolio : current_ip="$(ifconfig | grep "inet addr:192" | awk '{print $2}'|sed 's/addr://g')" works perfectly [16:36] Psycho: so fedora is tight?

[16:37] well i aint getting it then lol [16:37] abe3k: any time [16:37] i hate that thing [16:37] mtaftm: then i'm not sure linux is for you :/ [16:37] i like linux mint i might go back to that [16:37] You like Linux, because it's free? [16:38] mtaftm: its the same shit [16:38] no its not like i dont like linux, i do like it but i keep having problems with it [16:38] MASARUwota: mind your langugage [16:38] environment: Ubuntu 9.10/amd64 console. Problem: I am starting some virtualbox guests and backgrounding them for a test environment. The ipc mechanism for vbox management tools to communicate with the guest systems is through a socket in /tmp/.vbox-user-ipc; however, when I logout, this is removed from /tmp. I need this to not happen. Any hints where to start looking? :) [16:38] mtaftm: mint is just ubuntu with a different theme and codecs preinstalled [16:38] lol [16:38] -g [16:38] and A BLACK THEME [16:38] :/ [16:38] You like Linux, because it's free? [16:38] well if someone can sort my java out ill be very happy [16:38] mtaftm: i added you to msn :/ [16:38] ok well you aint popped up yet [16:39] Psycho: what's your point? this is Ubuntu support channel, if you have a support question, feel free to ask, but offtopic discussion is elsewhere [16:39] !java | mtaftm [16:39] mtaftm: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [16:39] dakira, try ifup and these enties auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static [16:39] psychomog: we like it because its awesome. thats why [16:39] D: [16:39] i have java!!!!!! its just being a bugger [16:39] gladiatr have you tried to change owner to root? [16:39] dakira, err auto eth0, iface eth0 inet static [16:39] mtaftm: what do you need java for? [16:40] mtaftm: aMSN? you should install emesene instead :/ [16:40] ok. I solved my issue :) I wrote "net" instead of "inet" lol [16:40] to go on a java based chat room, i always go on it i have friends on it [16:40] and i am using emense thats alot better [16:40] Enigmator, change the owner of the /tmp/.vbox-user-ipc directory to root? [16:40] what is your msn ill add you [16:40] mtaftm: eehm, java-based chatrooms are irc rooms 99% percent of the time [16:40] Yanick_, good to hear :) [16:41] whats irc? [16:41] mtaftm: ..you're on irc right now [16:41] haha oh whow [16:41] hmm.. [16:41] yes and all files in it, dont know if it would work, its mostly a guess [16:41] Internet Relay Chat [16:41] yh i am [16:41] sorry [16:42] well it might be my firefox :/ [16:42] abe3k: don't know if ip has always same amount of numbers; but here's an easier alternative, just for fun: ifconfig | grep "inet addr:192" | cut --characters 21-32 [16:42] firefox might be the problem then [16:42] mtaftm: its probably openjdk, but search for the ircroom name, you should use that instead [16:43] VCoolio what will that do for ip [16:43] i just think its firefox and MASURA are you cal? [16:43] but make sure users have read write access to it [16:43] VCoolio : yeah, I agree sometimes I'll use it with machienes that end with 3 digits === shakil-work is now known as St0n3-C0l [16:43] any galeon fan here? [16:44] I mean read execute, not write [16:44] VCoolio :I think the long one is safer [16:44] I want to know how to make Galeon make CTRL+C usable on Google Docs. [16:44] evila333: it will print character 21-32 from the line that says "inet addr:192" from ifconfig output [16:44] oh ok i thought it was something else...just woke up... [16:44] ahhh when i click connect it just stop [16:45] abe3k: LANG=C /sbin/ifconfig eth0 | awk '/inet / { print $2 } ' | sed -e s/addr:// [16:45] BluesKaj: that's what I have.. but "auto " every time I start my computer. [16:45] abe3k: works even if you change to 10. net :) [16:45] mtaftm: look up the server and room that it tries to connect to, and do it manually. java is for proprietary windows users [16:45] i use to download sypaptic manager for something i need like a clone of msn (pgidm or something like that )..when i finish download were can i find the aplication to run it?

[16:51] abe3k: needed for this -> ... ip -4 -o addr show dev eth0 ... [16:51] llutz : since it worked on this machine I guess it is installed, so you think I should go for the ifconfig then ? [16:51] that was cool Masaruwota [16:51] abe3k: It comes pre-installed with ubuntu at least. Don't know about other distros. [16:51] abe3k: ifconfig can be asumed to be installed, iproute... should be, but won't [16:51] geirha : I'll be using it with ubuntu machines yes [16:52] it is not for me, my bro and his girl are on dial up...trying to talk them into spending the extra 6 bucks fordsl atleast [16:52] Всем привет [16:52] Как оно?

[16:53] CAPcap: you can put windows into a virtualbox virtual machine so it runs on top of ubuntu [16:53] CAPcap have you tried "Wine"? [16:53] CAPcap: WINE..... or purchase VMWare [16:53] Wine perhaps? [16:53] whats virtualbox and wine? [16:53] Blast, ninja'd [16:53] CAPcap: there's basically two methods.. wine and a virtual machine [16:53] CAPcap: and then the "seamless mode" thing means that instead of windows being inside a box on your screen, you can have individual windows applications visible on your desktop [16:54] VirtualBox is like VMWare... except Vbox is freeware [16:54] to the guys who helped me sort this out, a BIG thank you [16:54] Wait, VMware isn't freeware? [16:54] bye [16:54] nope [16:54] when i check for instalation something in synaptic manager it works after reboot ?? [16:54] Weird [16:54] Hello! I made a NAT gateway out of my fileserver thats running ubuntu. It has 2 nics and so forth... it drops connection every now and then and i was wondering if anyone here knew of a easy way to make the machine ping something ever 10-60 minutes and based on that restart the network... anyone? [16:54] nefast: no, quite a bit of money [16:54] CAPcap: ever seen a Mac user using Parallels? [16:54] Last i knew... VMWare was not free [16:54] no i dont use macs often [16:54] Hmm [16:55] nefast: i think ESXi and server edition are freeware, but vmware player and vmware workstation are $$$ [16:55] I must have confused the two, probably :D [16:55] hehe [16:55] Greets, everyone... [16:55] i just switched from a life of using windows after a virus chewed thru my registry and killed windows forever [16:55] howdy... [16:55] is there any program like "windows movie maker" in ubuntu? or another program to make movies? [16:55] raul_, there is a spiffy video editor [16:55] Forgot the name, though [16:55] how can I turn my wireless off via command line? I used to use "ifconfig wlan0 down" but in 9.10 it immediately reconnects. [16:55] raul_: a simple movie maker? there is kdenlive, but it needs KDE dependencies [16:56] Failure is not an option...It comes bundled with Windows [16:56] raul_: there's that one.. something like openshot movie maker [16:56] How can I disable File Lock in SAMBA? [16:56] raul_: included by default, not yet. but i think pitivi will be in 10.04. you can get it through synaptic. there's also a fairly popular one called OpenShot but its not in the repositories [16:56] evila333: lol [16:56] Enigmator, hrm... just need to figure out what part of what subsystem is responsible for the /tmp cleaning. I completely understand why it's there... I just need to be able to deactivate it for the account that is being used to start the vms :\ [16:56] drift: should that be iwconfig? [16:56] raul_: openshot is considered the go-to option in ubuntu at the moment. google should take you straight to its homepage. :) [16:56] raul_: http://www.openshotvideo.com/ .. not sure if it's available from the repos though [16:56] drift: network manager doesnt let you use ifconfig commands. you have to "sudo stop network-manager" first [16:56] Slart: it's not [16:57] I have switched from ubuntu to the crunchbang distro I am loving this [16:57] Slart: it depends on ffmpeg head, and thats not packaged. openshot's packages install their own version of ffmpeg [16:57] so... the program more recommeded is openshot? [16:57] maco: ah.. thanks [16:57] viliny, no I have been using "ifconfig." Should I be using iwconfig? [16:57] drift: ifconfig is correct [16:57] ok i searched WINE in synaptic, i get about 25 results, which do i want? [16:57] drift: its just that network-manager won't let you manually do such things. so you need to stop network manager first [16:57] maco, okay I will try your suggestion [16:58] drift: ifconfig won't control wifi-connections, only the ip-part of it [16:58] llutz: but iwconfig won't down an interface like ifconfig will [16:58] CAPcap, just do « sudo apt-get install wine » [16:59] maco: nope [16:59] thanks andi_ [16:59] CAPcap, np ;) [16:59] how about for virtualbox or whatever its called? [16:59] CAPcap, its best to try wine first [17:00] Hm, what's a quick way to get to know which cd writer [as in hardwar]I am using? I want to rip stuff with rubyripper, but I don't know which offset to use. [17:00] gladiatr there may be a way to do this, Ill take a look [17:00] wine doesn't require its own windows installation. [17:00] Virtualdox does. [17:00] thanks protojay [17:00] maco, thanks! [17:00] box eveb. [17:01] gnu's not linux [17:01] maco iwconfig controls layer-1, ifconfig layer-3 [17:02] llutz: but iwconfig doesnt have like "mode off" or anything like that [17:03] Any overclockers around? I just did my first build last night. Raised the CPU's bus from its default of 333MHz to 366MHz, left the default multiplier alone (x8).

Guessing so far has resulted in mount error(113): No route to host [17:22] onetinsoldier: No, its standard [17:22] Pici: oh? wow [17:23] thanks :-) [17:24] blakkheim, yes, thanks! that was the one I was looking for. [17:24] Is anyone good with user permissions? I'm having an FTP issue [17:25] cybertron_: best if you just ask your question directly. [17:25] sipior: yeah I did... I'll post it again.. [17:25] c'è qualcuno ita? [17:25] Hey guys, I'm having a little problem with PureFTPd and user permissions. I've setup pureftp on ubuntu server 9.10 and I have mysql running as the userdb. I can add users fine, all works well, but all files uploaded by any user through the ftp server are access denied to my user even when I am part of the ftpgroup group. [17:25] !ita|giorgio [17:25] Sorry, I don't know anything about ita [17:26] !it|giorgio [17:26] giorgio: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [17:26] there is italian people? [17:26] cybertron_: what is handling your uid and guid ? [17:26] !it | giorgio [17:26] giorgio: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [17:26] cybertron_: what are the permissions of the uploaded files? [17:27] NSuldaz, if your file manager has a network option that may be the best way to smb into your windows7 sg=hared folders, but I never had much luck with that on W7 due to the sharing group not being compatible with smb or samba . from my experience. [17:27] ikonia: all files uploaded are using ftpuser and ftpgroup as the owner... no matter what the username is of the uploading account. [17:27] sipior: the uploaded files look like this: -rw-r--r-- 1 ftpuser ftpgroup 23602562 2010-01-14 02:28 MVI_2627.AVI [17:28] sipior & ikonia: I've added myself to the ftpgroup, but that doesnt seem to work... as you can see, the files dont have group write access [17:28] cybertron_: and the permissions of the parent directory holding the uploaded files? [17:29] cybertron_: can you show us ls -la of the directory containing the files (use a pastebin please) [17:29] anyone who knows finnish?? Google translate isnt helping me find meaning of "ARPASIVULLE" [17:29] howdy [17:30] !fi | ideamonk [17:30] ideamonk: Tämä kanava on tarkoitettu vain englanninkieliselle keskustelulle.

(like gnome-web-photo, but I have no clue how to use that to batch-render many websites) [17:31] sipior & ikonia: http://pastebin.com/m22d6d7c1 [17:31] Blast, lshw does not list my dvd writer :| [17:31] is it just me or is the newest /etc/gdm/Xsession in ubuntu horribly broken? [17:31] having a bit of trouble connecting to an ftp server using the gui in Jaunty. i can connect fine from the command line, but when i put the same information in the 'connect to server' dialogue it mounts it, but shows that there's nothing there. [17:31] it executes the /etc/X11/Xsession.d/ scripts with missing vars/functions, causing them to misbehave [17:31] cybertron_: are you tring to put or get a file ? [17:32] ikonia: I'm trying to allow full access to josh over samba and ssh [17:32] likewise, since the /etc/X11/Xsession.d/ scripts end with an 'exec', the rest of the code in /etc/gdm/Xsession never gets run... [17:32] cybertron_: then why are you messing around with ftp ? [17:32] nefast: what kind of port is your dvd writer on? [17:32] ikonia: the files are being uploaded via ftp [17:32] cybertron_: ok - so that's not going to happen as the ftpgroup doesn't have write permissions [17:33] onetinsoldier, that's a good question. [17:33] I have not s ingle clue how to figure that out. [17:33] Standard dell laptop dvd writer. [17:33] nefast: do you know how to go into your bios? [17:33] ikonia: how can I make all future uploaded files have group write access? I'm using PureFTPd, is there an option, or do I need to change the umask(I know nothing about umask, a friend just mentioned it) [17:33] nefast: most likely /dev/sr0 [17:34] cybertron_: give the group ftpusers write access and make sure the directory has group ownership of ftpgroup [17:34] hey guys I am just wondering how to disable that annoying drum sound that plays on the login screen [17:34] fuzzybunny, system -> preferences -> sound? [17:35] And then sound theme? [17:35] fuzzybunny, system -> preferences -> startup applications [17:35] fuzzybunny: rm /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/system-ready.ogg [17:35] nefast: it is already set to no sounds [17:35] ikonia: so I do that using chmod? the group name is ftpgroup... the user is ftpuser. I need to make the ftp group the owner of that ftp folder then and all sub folder will be inhereted? [17:35] fosco__: there is nothing in there related to it [17:35] cybertron_: chdmo 775 [17:36] My laptop hard disk started to fail.. I used encrypted LVM defaults with Ubuntu 9.10. I just bought a new laptop. I have the old bad hard disk plugged into my new laptop via usb sata adapter. I made an unencrypted map to it by doing 'cryptseutp create bad /dev/sdb1', so the map exists at: /dev/mapper/bad; When I do 'e2fsck /dev/mapper/bad' it gives me the super block invalid message. What else can I try to get this mounted, or do an fsck? [17:36] cybertron_: chmod 775 [17:36] "and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock: e2fsck -b 8193 " .. I get this message at the end. I run 'sudo e2fsck -b 8193 /dev/mapper/bad', but it gives me back the same message. [17:36] fuzzybunny, i have a "gnome-login-sound" entry there [17:36] was wondering in there a quick gui for mounting nfs [17:36] fuzzybunny: I think the startup sound is separate from the user preferences.. (it still doesn't know which user is going to login)... perhaps something in the login window settings.. I'm not sure [17:37] fuzzbunny: System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications [17:37] Hi, i'm trying to connect to my LAN for internet access on latest ubuntu server. The installer never finds dhcp, even though the router serves dhcp. Won't work with a static ip. Any help please? [17:37] hmmm maybe it is the visual assistance [17:37] thing [17:37] fuzzbunny: then disable "Gnome Login Sound" [17:37] fuzzybunny: http://www.ubuntumini.com/2009/09/hack-karmics-gdm-login-screen.html [17:37] Pereirao: that doesn't exist [17:38] fuzzybunny: rm /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/system-ready.ogg [17:38] fuzzybunny: there's an old thread.. perhaps it's moved somewhere else in karmic http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=468927 [17:38] Ah, onetinsoldier, when starting up [re:bios] ? [17:39] I just want to get to know which kind of cddrive it is so I can give Rubyripper the correct offset to rip CD's. [17:39] fuzzybunny: this looks more up to date http://nuclear-imaging.info/site_content/2009/11/03/remove-karmic-ubuntu-910-login-screen-sound/ [17:40] nefast: grep -i dvd /var/log/dmesg [17:40] ikonia: so who should be the owner of /mnt/raid/_ftp? [17:41] llutz, Yes! That's it. <3 [17:41] nefast: hi. yes. when computer fist fires up is where you can press a key to enter your bios [17:41] fuzzybunny: sudo nano /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow/libcanberra-ready-sound.desktop [17:41] onetinsoldier, I think that the command that llutz gave me solved it. [17:41] fuzzybunny: change the line that executes the sound to something you like, or leave empty [17:41] I installed some updates yesterday and today (Jaunty) and now some wierd things are happening. First, my laptop brightness would start dimming by itself (never done this before); I figured out how to fix this. Next, characters in my xterm window are randomly not displaying, and when I wiggle the window the characters show up. Also, colors in vim are not working in screen anymore . . I can't work like this :/ help? [17:41] nefast: cool :-) === jon is now known as Guest23586 [17:42] Perfect! [17:42] Let the ripping commence! [17:42] hay alguien?

[17:52] Paddy_NI: synaptic has a "create download script"-feature... or apt-on-cd [17:52] !aptoncd | Paddy_NI [17:52] Paddy_NI: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline === Dc0i is now known as D-coy === biggimat is now known as Matic`Makovec [17:53] Slart, I just need two tiny packages.. aint there a simpler way without having to burn cds?

FTP users are uploading files, and I need to have access to these files over samba (read and write)... here are the folders..http://pastebin.com/m22d6d7c1 the ftp handler is ftpuser:ftpgroup, my user is josh... josh is in ftpgroup, but it's still not working. [17:54] Paddy_NI: you could just download the packages as well.. put them on a usb stick [17:54] Paddy_NI: basically that's what the download script does [17:54] hey guys I think that finally worked and that login sound is gone [17:54] Slart, ah precisely what I want.. nice one mate [17:54] I'm looking for an ettercap channel. Anyone know what it is? #ettercap doesn't seems to be it [17:55] !offline | Paddy_NI [17:55] Paddy_NI: If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. Alternatively, try http://apt.alturl.com/ - See also !APTonCD [17:55] cybertron_: can you currently read the files via samba? [17:55] Slart, the file download script is pointless [17:55] the other machine is offline [17:55] good. [17:56] where is xorg.conf located? [17:56] undecim: yes, I can read them, but cannot create files nor delete files [17:56] Diverdude: /etc/X11 [17:56] anyone here have any experience with JACK? [17:56] Paddy_NI: I don't think you've thought this through... you generate the script on the offline machine... run it on the online machine.. move the storage to the offline machine again [17:56] cybertron_: you need to set goup permissions on the files, and probably the directory as well. [17:56] Slart: the alturl.com link doesn't support karmic it seems [17:57] Slart, all that to get two files installed on an offline computer O_O [17:57] undecim: I have updated the pastebin... I set chmod 775 on the folders... [17:57] undecim: http://pastebin.com/m3a615447 [17:57] Paddy_NI: or just download the two files yourself.. put them on an usb stick.. insert usb stick in offline computer.. double click files.. (as I said a while before) [17:57] I've installed emesene, but it showed to me "You don't have libmimic, so you can't send or receive webcam".... what should I do? [17:57] Slart, Is there no simple way of downloading the debs?

[17:59] jon5000: you know how to use pastebin? [17:59] hi guys, if i wanted to try something like stumpwm (http://www.nongnu.org/stumpwm/manual/stumpwm.html#Top) or ratpoison (http://www.nongnu.org/ratpoison/), can I do that on another console while keeping gdm running? [17:59] onetinsoldier, yes [18:00] onetinsoldier: There are a ton of options, so I wasnt sure if someone would know which one did what I need, but thats my next step [18:00] Slart, ah nice one.. would be nice if synaptic allowed you to just download files too [18:00] jon5000: i recommend you upload your /etc/apt/sources.list file to pastebin and give us the url [18:00] undecim: yeah I do, samba works fine. I cant make a folder in ssh either. [18:00] what is the shortcut to reboot? [18:00] Slart, cheers got them now though :) [18:00] Diverdude: you mean REISUB? [18:00] Paddy_NI: you're welcome [18:00] Diverdude, dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/sda [18:00] :) [18:01] cybertron_: roger. the issue is probably something in that config file [18:01] Slart, well just to restart my system === Auron is now known as Guest55892 [18:01] !danger [18:01] DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here.

There used to be a restricted ati driver (about a year ago) and I looked today on a computer with a user account that doesn't have a sudo access and it's not even showing up in the list. [18:12] onetinsoldier, after the sudo apt-get update and all the errors, sudo apt-get -f install reported done and done. zero downloaded out of 1083 [18:12] jon5000: you need to remove that last line --> deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian sid main [18:12] Slart, im new at linux so how do i go by doing that [18:12] jon5000: you need to edit the file... /etc/apt/sources.list [18:12] _dreamy: pkill processname or killall processname, or use htop [18:12] jon5000: you need to remove that last line --> deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian sid main [18:12] thats it? just that one line deletion?

[18:15] onetinsoldier, seems to be working! [18:15] _dreamy: or add the force quit applet to your panel; click the icon, then the window to kill [18:15] jon5000: cool, cheers and enjoy :-) [18:15] _raven_: idk if slitaz or dsl have partimage, but If they don't, I should be able to make an iso that does.

The boot is ext3 and the extended is xfs [18:24] Thanks [18:24] I can't resize the xfs [18:25] beep beep [18:25] gizmobay: I've always had problems resizing xfs with gparted as well. [18:25] yes.me too. [18:25] gizmobay: xfs partitions cannot be shrunk [18:25] gizmobay, i'd suggest asking in #xfs, but they'd just say "SGI ROOOLZ" and kick you.. [18:25] hmm, how can I do this? [18:25] gizmobay, not sure if gparted supports xfs, make sure you have xfs-progs package installed [18:25] gizmobay: to this day, the only way I've found is to backup the files somewhere else, remove the xfs, resize the partitions, then put the files back. [18:26] gizmobay: you can't, i am trying xfs partitions cannot be shrunk [18:26] i am saying* [18:26] it's funny, because XFS partitions are easy to resize, technically [18:26] drat [18:26] gizmobay: just back sure that wherever you back them up to save permissions [18:26] gizmobay: why did you choose xfs if you don't know about it? [18:26] Slart: that tutorial is a little old and it doesn't work exactly the way he describes it there, but i got enough to get stumpwm running in another xserver so [18:26] Slart: thanks!

But switching to to virtual consoles (via alt+ctrl+Fn) doesn't work... [18:33] onetinsoldier: Ok got lots of hits. [18:33] gerzel: roger [18:34] instead, when I hit alt (actually, apple+ctrl+f1) and have a terminal opened, it prints out ";7P" [18:34] gerzel: if too many hits... try piping the output into 'less' [18:34] !ping [18:34] Here I am, brain the size of a planet and you expect me to respond to a ping?

Running re-configure it suggests [18:38] obiwan_: i don't usually read whole manpage, but use "/" to search for keywords relating to the options i need. [18:38] then some manpages are just bad. [18:38] obiwan_, have you tried wiggling the cord? [18:38] obiwan_: pro tip: skip to the examples [18:38] gerzel: hmmmm [18:38] hello [18:39] Like I said old install that probably isn't current with my system I've done a dist upgrade between now and when I last ran it [18:39] gerzel: i can't help any further. so, good luck :-) [18:39] obiwan_, otherwise, you should check your firewall, reboot your router, and close unnecessary programs to fix your . failing that, a reboot should make your .

[18:41] verry weird [18:41] Synthercat: i didn't see a question in any of that [18:42] Synthercat: heat related? although I agree that it is weird.. [18:42] onetinsoldier: What vm product should I be looking for. I want to run windows XP with Windows office 2007 on top of my current Ubuntu box any suggestions? [18:42] !vbox | gerzel [18:42] I have a question! Can someone help me with my sound problem? [18:42] gerzel: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [18:42] [ot] I'm looking for a channel to speak about "optical character recognition"? (especially ocropus if there is; alternatively any ocr / image segmentation / image processing) [18:42] prometeus: I think you need to re-phrase your question. [18:42] gerzel: virtualbox is free.. and good.. give it a try first [18:42] gerzel: vmware does well for me although many suggest virtualbox [18:42] Is there a way to stream netflix to ubuntu? [18:43] Is virtual box on the ubuntu repositories?

In component universe, is optional. Version 3.0.8-dfsg-1ubuntu1 (karmic), package size 6182 kB, installed size 24292 kB [18:43] LjL: , ver and Myrtti , but you need to read man bash to be a good bash programmer, you can't just look up the thing you need each time at man bash, and same goes for iptables, people who know it speak by memory. i could look just the options i need for rsync though [18:43] Hallo [18:43] hi... i'm looking for a couple of licensing / trademark related question w.r.t redistribution of Ubuntu 9.10 DVDs.. is this the right forum to ask? [18:43] ne1 able to help with a usb belkin wireless n on 9.10? [18:43] gerzel: if you want usb support you will need to install the version that is not in the repos [18:43] hi ubuntu === ubuntu is now known as ubuntu_liveCD_us [18:43] rjent: Heck, I haven't even figured out how to steam netflix to my TV yet! :) [18:43] 'sup [18:43] huh? === ubuntu_liveCD_us is now known as ubuntu_liveCD [18:43] obiwan_: ouch.. that sounds painful.. there has to be good books out there about bash.. it's been around for a while [18:44] just copy and redistribute them, it's open source [18:44] blakkheim : Ever heard of a memtest go wrong and then run ok once again? Why did only ubuntu caused it? [18:44] ok [18:44] yeah slart, problem is that i can't even read the man, a book would be so worse... [18:44] obiwan_: people who learned to "program bash" and use iptables in its worst nuances most probably haven't learned it from manpages, but from good. for instance, google "bash scripting howto" for a really fine manual. [18:44] ne1 able to help with a usb belkin wireless n on 9.10? [18:44] ubuntu for dummies? [18:44] thanks I'll look into things further [18:45] obiwan_: "can't even read the man".. I would say that managing to read the entire man page is a big feat indeed.. reading a book about bash sounds much more pleasant [18:45] I've installed emesene and I've tried to use my webcam, but it said "You don't have libmimic, so you can't send or receive webcam". I went to synaptic and I installed everything about "libmimic", but it still didn't work... what should I do? [18:45] look Slart i like unix, i'm really interested in bash, i'd love to be a programmer, so some days i feel like, yeah this is the day, i'mma read it. but then i start, read like 400 lines man bash, and i just can't keep, cause i see it's 28xx lines, and i think dude this ain't possible, i just can't go on [18:45] Krepta, thanks I know that... but does Ubuntu have anything like "authorized artwork" for stuff like DVD disc labels that can be re-produced and distributed in unmodified format? [18:45] Synthercat - memtest is bundled with Ubuntu but Ubuntu really has nothing to do with it. If it sometimes says something is wrong but not always, the odds are that either your memory is going bad or it is overclocked [18:46] obiwan_: man pages are available as html-files as well.. perhaps that's easier on the eyes? [18:47] indradg: not sure of anything, but I wouldn't worry about copying and giving copies of the discs, including labels. [18:47] ok LjL and Slart , i'll try about that. maybe that way i can, cause i'm really interested in making and of course, u nderstanding scripts. It fscks me when i open some /etc/init.d script and i don't u nderstand 60% of it's phrases haha [18:47] Slart: Try tty (easier on the eyes)... [18:48] obiwan_: I would go with something like this http://oreilly.com/catalog/9781565923478 (I'm not familiar with that book myself.. that's just an example) [18:48] that's true slart, html has anything... that makes things look better haha ^_^! well, it's ok thanks 4 advices to everybody [18:48] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mbox: "The Mozilla family of MUAs (Mozilla, Netscape, Thunderbird, et al.) use an mboxrd variation with more complex From line quoting rules.

[18:48] yeah, i read that o'reilly is a refference book for any computing subject, they make realy good books i heard. i'll give it a try [18:48] Slart: obiwan_ yel the help viewer can read man pages too.

I have already opened my router [18:57] znx^: check out iptables [18:57] ne1 able to help with a usb belkin wireless n on 9.10? or point me in a good direction...forums were no help...try 3 [18:57] znx^: by default ubuntu does not have a firewall running. if something is listening in the port then the port will be "open" [18:58] rhamptonii: what wifi chip does the dongle uses ? [18:58] euxneks: I am newbie and know nothing about anything [18:58] znx^: then don't try iptables :P [18:58] rhamptonii: yes [18:59] znx^: you should just be able to use whatever port is needed when an application is listening on it [18:59] znx^: also, see erUSUL's comment regarding firewalls [18:59] hi can i have a text based peer to peer? [18:59] like amule [19:00] euxneks: well you know how transmission can check if the port is open to download.. and it's not.. download is so slow.. [19:00] znx^: that would either be your router or your ISP blocking that port. I would suggest a non-standard port [19:00] is it possible to make a list of all packages installed, reinstall ubuntu and just give this list to the packet manager, and then it installs all the packages again? [19:01] znx^: and then make sure it's open on your router [19:01] Diverdude: yep [19:01] znx^: you can also encrypt it afaik [19:01] Diverdude: i can give you the commands [19:01] euxneks: I opened the port on my router.. [19:01] onetinsoldier, that would be very nice [19:01] Hello :) [19:01] i have very strange problem [19:01] Diverdude: roger... give me just a sec here [19:01] euxneks: and worked fine when using windows, but got tired of boot times there.. Just gotta resolve my download issue [19:01] my pc runs better if a game is running [19:02] can u help [19:02] onetinsoldier, ok, thx a lot m8 [19:02] euxneks: But don't know, the torrent might not be healthy or something [19:02] znx^: yeah but you said transmission said the port was closed...? [19:03] znx^: if that's the case, and you've opened the port on your router, then there must be something on the ISP's side blocking that port [19:03] euxneks: Yep, it says that it's closed.. tornado says it closed [19:03] error_name: it's not a cpu downclocking thing? ie without anything big running it underclocks the cpu which in turn makes it a bit sluggish.. but when you run something big it runs at normal speed? [19:03] znx^: did it say it was closed in windows? [19:03] znx^: and did you also use transmission in windows [19:03] euxneks: Nope.. [19:03] Diverdude: np. to make the file(save on floppy/usb stick)... dpkg --get-selections > my_package_list.txt [19:04] euxneks: No i used utorrent.. [19:04] slart how to make it run at normal speed everytime [19:04] znx^: so, one of two things could solve this: encrypt your traffic (there should be an option in transmission) or change your net port on which you're sharing [19:05] Hi, I'm interested in using LDAP (and whatever else is necessary) on an Ubuntu server to replace Active Directory functionality. Anyone have tips or links on how to begin researching this?

[19:05] znx^: how close are you to the wifi router? [19:05] Diverdude: to reinstall --> dpkg --get-selections < my_package_list.txt && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -f install [19:05] euxneks: there is only one wall between it and me. [19:06] forgot to mention that I'd have about 100 users on XP & Windows7 [19:06] euxneks: and it's gen. n i think [19:06] znx^: well I can't really help you much there .. Maybe a different driver for your wireless card is needed? [19:06] Diverdude: there is also a metod of doing this using aptitude, but i don't know what the exact commands are for it [19:06] method* [19:06] !clone [19:06] which are the basic latex packages I should install to be able to make pdf files from them? [19:06] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [19:06] euxneks: wouldn't know where to find it except for through that hardware scanner..

[19:07] Hi all, can anyone help me with the dreaded broadcom wireless/karmic update issue?

[19:08] euxneks: I've spend the last few days trying to get it worked out from there.. but no luck [19:08] znx^: there is an option to prefer encrypted peers in transmission as well as changing the port under Peers and Network, respectively [19:08] onetinsoldier, aha thats really nice....What about packages that comes from repositories i had to add to the repos config file?

[21:07] MASARUwota: no [21:07] when i run ddrescue to rescue my disk it starts working, updates some numbers like access rate but stops updating after 20 seconds and the disk makes scratchy noises again for like 30 seconds, then it is silent and nothing happens for hours [21:07] what can i do? [21:07] schui_: is this a menu entry that you created? [21:07] schui_, System -> Preferences -> Main Menu [21:07] brokendisk: sounds like a HW problem, probably fried HDD [21:07] Rob215:you should give that a try then, it might be GNOME or METACITY acting up. [21:08] MorphyNOR: yes but ddrescue shuold rescue exactly that [21:08] MASARUwota: but it's on system windows' [21:08] thank you [21:08] brokendisk: no, not really :) [21:08] MorphyNOR: it should just jump over fried sectors [21:08] does anyone know how to disable wifi card in ubuntu? It is allways in alive mode and any control keys do not disable it. [21:08] schui_: right click on the word applications and choose 'Edit Menus' [21:08] MorphyNOR: it says so in the doc [21:08] brokendisk: not if the HDD is physically damaaged [21:08] Rob215: windows are managed by the window manager. thats what i said [21:08] i am running chown -R on a full 400GB HD, with many small files. is it unusual that this could take 20-30+ minutes to complete? [21:08] damaged* [21:08] MorphyNOR: yes exactly for physically damaged disks it is meant [21:08] jmichaelx: nope [21:08] does anyone know how to disable wifi card in ubuntu? It is allways in alive mode and any control keys do not disable it. === ferric84 is now known as eric_hynds [21:09] MorphyNOR: thats the entire idea of ddrescue [21:09] EastDallas: thanks very much. i was trying to figure out whether or not something was hanging. [21:09] how do I make an ISO from USB flash drive? [21:09] brokendisk: call me a naysayer if you wish, but I think you put too much faith into that :) === seven is now known as bredoto [21:09] MorphyNOR: did you ever read the ddrescue doc? http://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/ddrescue.html [21:09] hia. does anyone know how to disable wifi card in ubuntu? It is allways in alive mode and any control keys do not disable it. [21:09] if something is physically hindering a HDD from working properly, no software in the world can fix it [21:10] MASARUwota: look at http://i46.tinypic.com/2gtqe5d.jpg [21:10] MorphyNOR: yes it can rescue parts of it, thats what ddrescue is meant for. [21:10] jmichaelx: I changed permissions on a 120GB hdd a while back and it took 15 or so minutes to hit every file. [21:10] !repeat | bredoto [21:10] bredoto: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [21:10] brokendisk: a HDD is a mechanical device, if there is something mechanically wrong with it, its dead, unless you ship it off to some fancy HDD rescue shop who will take it apart and fix it for you manually [21:10] MorphyNOR: not correct [21:11] Rob215: backup and rename your config files, or try another Window manager. DO IT [21:11] MorphyNOR: there are many different hardware errors, most partially fixable [21:11] if a HDD makes "strange noises" it is usually damaged [21:11] MorphyNOR: no, it usually means head failure and bad sectors, which ddrescue is meant for to deal with [21:11] MASARUwota: where on earth can i get a window manager other than nautitilus [21:11] sorry for repeating my question its becaus of my low connection speed and long irc client response! [21:11] brokendisk: okay, well why dont you just use it then? :) [21:12] brokendisk: using rfkill [21:12] using nmap -PE -PA21,23,80,3389 -A -v -T4 myIP i am getting port 23 is filtered ...why? [21:12] MorphyNOR: the problem is it stops working after some time [21:12] EastDallas: then i may be in for a long ride. this has been going for 20 minutes or so already.... i am wanting to rsync its contents to another drive and was going to use grsync as user... i should have just run rsync from CLI with sudo, and could have saved much time. :-( [21:12] i dont know why [21:12] Rob215, Use kubuntu? [21:12] erUSUL: to kill ddrescue or to save the data? [21:12] Rob215: you dont know what a window manager is, do you. well, just try backing up your .config directory, and relog [21:12] brokendisk: maybe because it cant read from the disk AT ALL? [21:12] brokendisk: sorry; wrong nick [21:12] digilord:no, ubuntu [21:12] Rob215: nautilus is not a window-manager its a file-browser [21:12] bredoto: use rfkill [21:12] MorphyNOR: it can read from the disk, it works for 20 seconds [21:13] You asked about another window manager... kubuntu doesn't use nautilus [21:13] MASARUwota: windows manager. do you know any. [21:13] Is lucid-alpha-2 out? [21:13] i dont suppose anyone could help me install UT2004: Editor's Choice edition? [21:13] erUSUL, how can it help? [21:13] Rob215, windowmaker is one [21:13] !lucid | dragon [21:13] dragon: Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 2010 - Lucid is NOT released and is NOT stable - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [21:14] erUSUL: yeahhhh, thanks. [21:14] I've removed a package via apt-get remove foo, but I did not use the --purge option. How can I remove all the files --purge would have removed? [21:14] wait wait!! [21:14] Rob215: install icewm or something, and retry [21:14] thanks to everyone [21:14] brokendisk: MorphyNOR: Sometimes placing a damaged HDD in an airtight container and freezing it will make it work a little longer for a temporary solution. [21:14] make sure to pick it at session [21:14] bredoto: it can disable the wifi card [21:14] YOU ROCK :D [21:14] blistov: apt-get remove --purge package [21:14] Rob215: then pick it as "session" on the login screen [21:14] blistov: you can call it even if you used remove before [21:14] blistov: you can still run purge for that package [21:14] EastDallas: yes heard about that too, it will contract the platters and remove friction between head and surface [21:14] blistov: sudo apt-get autoremove [21:14] didnt try that yet though [21:15] iceroot, I've tried doing exactly that. It does not remove the configs for sendmail. [21:15] EastDallas: pseudo science? a HDD is an airtight device already... [21:15] MASARUwota: my login screen doesn't work!! [21:15] EastDallas: any idea why ddrescue suddenly stops working? it is built do deal with bad sectors and jump over them [21:15] using nmap -PE -PA21,23,80,3389 -A -v -T4 myIP i am getting port 23 is filtered ...why? [21:15] Rob215: WHAT? [21:15] !doesntwork|Rob215 [21:15] Rob215: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [21:15] blistov: apt-get purge instead of remove --purge? [21:15] MorphyNOR: yeah, but the electronics are not protected from the moisture in the freezer [21:15] yes EastDallas is right [21:15] MASARUwota:lol [21:15] brokendisk: do that then... [21:15] !doesntwork | Rob215 [21:16] iceroot, nope, still nothing. Just reports back that sendmail is not installed. [21:16] Which I'm aware of :) [21:16] ctrl-alt-del and you get your task manager. is there any hotkey for the system monitor? or any way to establish one? [21:16] blistov: and config-file does not mean *.conf for purge conf-files are files which are in the package debian/conffiles [21:16] Ubottu: lol [21:16] Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. [21:16] MorphyNOR: no thats the last resort and only necessary if the device is not recognized by the bios due to sticking heads [21:16] brokendisk: yeah, but if your hdd is physically failing ddrescue might not be of much help. That's why I suggested the freezing option. Of course that's a las resort. [21:16] iceroot, well /etc/init.d/sendmail and /etc/mail/sendmail* is all still existing. [21:16] but my bios has the device, the wquestion is why ddrescue stops working after it successfully started [21:17] I'm sure the sendmail dpkg installed them, so logically, purge should remove them . [21:17] erUSUL, hm it does not help. wi-fi led is steel in active mode. it is very strange because iwconfig does not show any wi-fi devices. [21:17] blistov: hm maybe install again and then use purge? [21:17] brokendisk: the drive motor might be failing...Have you looked at the S.M.A.R.T. data? [21:17] EastDallas: my device is already found by the bios so dont need the freezer method [21:17] EastDallas: smart says OK motor works [21:18] MASARUwota: Slowly put: logoff... then... click on my username .. and then... doesn't work [21:18] erUSUL, it happened after my system upgrade [21:18] brokendisk: smart only shows bad sectors, no spin up fails? [21:18] how do i resync luns ? [21:18] ctrl-alt-del and you get your task manager. is there any hotkey for the system monitor? or any way to establish one? [21:18] MASARUwota: Slowly put: logoff... then... click on my username .. type... password... and then... doesn't work [21:18] EastDallas: SMART completely reports OK [21:18] oops [21:18] EastDallas: smart is showing warnings about that a disk MAY fail in the next time [21:19] im from solaris world trying my hands with ubuntu now.. could you please help [21:19] ? [21:19] iceroot: ideally [21:19] brokendisk: yes [21:19] how do I disable the drum logon sound? [21:19] iceroot: yes, but it bases that warning on past failures. [21:19] it let me down there [21:19] are there hotkeys for they system monitor ( like ctrl alt del in windows dor task manager)? [21:19] thought itd never let me down [21:19] Rob215: it gets grayed out or what? [21:19] EastDallas: no there are other methods too [21:20] Rob215: didnt i tell you to remove the config files or get another WM? :/ [21:20] EastDallas: not only bad sectors and so on [21:20] CAPcap, you can define hotkeys for anything. but i'd suggest to have just an applet running in oyur menubar or smth [21:20] MASARUwota: it displays a "can't login" error [21:20] exco : Click System, mouseover Preference, and select Sound. -> Select SOUNDS -> Go to the bottom and click the Log in dropdown. -> select NO Sound. [21:21] nibbler: how would i go about doing those things?

[22:15] it should provide you back with /dev/sd or similar [22:15] DasEi - to be honest I haven't tried to boot into win7 yet but it is listed in the win boot loader so it probably will boot but I can fix it if it doesn't [22:15] Awesome3000: you can always try using lots of memory.. I think there are some stress test tools in the repository you can use if you want [22:15] Dark_Helmut, what kind of vpn are you trying?

[22:16] morphix & Slart Thanks [22:16] GentooJay: you're a genius [22:16] Awesome3000: you're welcome [22:16] anyone know how i would copy this file: linux-installer.sh to desktop via terminal? [22:16] I found in the Grub 2 Wiki that as of version 1.96 of GRUB 2, theme support is not enabled. Has anyone seen or heard of any movement on this? [22:16] Awesome3000, np [22:16] RyanD: so you installed karmic after win 7, now have grub with a windows entry and a karmic that won't boot [22:16] from a cd [22:16] schui_: cp /where/ever/the/file/is/located/linux-installer.sh ~/Desktop/ [22:17] After installing openbox, and changing the theme with "obconf", nothing is happening! how do I apply these settings? [22:17] MHz128: they are applied [22:17] !bash | schui_ [22:17] schui_: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [22:17] blakkheim, I've changed the window theme, nothing changed... [22:17] hello everyone [22:17] RyanD: did you try to boot safemode ? [22:18] MHz128: are you using ONLY openbox or gnome with openbox? [22:18] blakkheim, gnome/openbox [22:18] MHz128: then i can't help sorry [22:18] ohh ic [22:18] DasEi - that was my problem yesterday. so i gave up and blew away the linux part and installed from within win7 (wubi??) now i have a ubuntu entry in my win bootloader but grub drops to the sh:grub> prompt [22:18] i haved 6gb of ram and yet everytime i start upfirefox it takes like 10 seconds before that spinning loading icon thing stops. What's up with that? [22:18] RyanD: i recommend you do a real install without wubi [22:18] i dont even have any plugins installed in it [22:19] and only one tab [22:19] infid: firefox isn't limited by free memory? [22:19] infid: 32bit? [22:19] in /etc/passwd there is my shell defined. i am using zsh by default but if i am using a pc without zsh installed (passwd with ldap) i get password incorrect. is there a way to use a fallback-shell in /etc/passwd? [22:19] kinja-sheep: 64bit [22:19] infid: ram has nothing to do with how fast a program starts up [22:19] i have a quick question about which version in need to install [22:19] blakkheim: well it's also a quad core cpu [22:19] infid: it might be waiting for something else.. io.. network latency.. cpu stuff [22:19] blakkheim - when I did that i would get an error that grub couldn't find my root disk [22:19] blakkheim: with an nvidia geforce 9500gt [22:19] if I install the 8.04 LTS server, will i be able to upgrade straight to the next LTS? [22:19] Slart: i have verizon fios [22:19] or will I need to go through another version? [22:19] xgpt: yep [22:19] infid: firefox is a big bloated program. your cpu has a bit to do with it, gpu has nothing to do with it. the bottleneck is your hard drive [22:20] xgpt: the next LTS isn't out yet.. but I think you'll be able to upgrade to it, yes [22:20] anyone seen http://zpaste.org/7045 before? [22:20] infid: You could install prelink if that will help. I use that. [22:20] Jeruvy: so if I download this older 8.04 LTS, i'll be able to go *straight* to the next LTS? [22:20] blakkheim: it's a fresh install of ubuntu on a 500gb sata drive [22:20] infid, try opera :P [22:20] Ziber: do you have an ubuntu support question? [22:20] firefox doesnt seem to do this on my netbook [22:20] xgpt: by default, you can reconfigure it to go through all the non-LTS [22:20] does 9.10 have a problem installing on hardware raid? [22:20] infid Or google chrome [22:20] nibbler, trying to connect to VyprVPN [22:21] Slart: 9.04. "command-not-found" not found. [22:21] xgpt: if it is out you can upgrade directly [22:21] infid: ubuntu isn't exactly the leanest, quickest distro of linux. firefox is a very large program and unless you're using an SSD (like i am) it will take a few seconds to open [22:21] infid, test with another browser see if it occurs the same [22:21] Awesome3000: how do i get google chrome for ubuntu? jump through hoops or is it in apt yet? [22:21] Ziber: do you have a question? [22:21] i had a similar problem but it was due to DNS [22:21] Slart: how to fix that? [22:21] nibbler, mpppe I think it is... [22:21] DNS was slow to resolve, so firefox took a bit to show the site upon load [22:21] but it could be 100% unrelated. [22:21] Ziber: have you looked through synaptic for "command not found" ? [22:21] Ziber: sudo apt-get install command-not-found [22:21] can it hurt my battery to have my powersupply plugged into my Eeepc 24/7. ie can it overcharge the battery? [22:22] blakkheim, ok, how do I change the openbox desktop background? is there a taskbar application? or somethhing similar? [22:22] he could change his homepage to blank and check this out [22:22] infid, http://www.google.com/chrome/eula.html?platform=linux [22:22] MHz128: you can use a program like nitrogen or feh to change the wallpaper. there is no taskbar application by default either. [22:22] infid: no not overcharged but memory-effect because its using the battery not the powersupply directly [22:22] infid: remove the batterie if you dont need it [22:22] i really love all my firefox plugins though. i could never leave the browser until chrome supported htem all [22:22] blakkheim, is there a third party taskbar app i can install? [22:23] MHz128: there are many [22:23] infid: I think modern computers are quite good with charging batteries.. ie not over charging and so on.. but the battery usually get quite warm and that isn't very good for its health.. I would remove it [22:23] iceroot: well i still unplug it and just go off the battery a few hours a day [22:23] infid: ok [22:23] blakkheim, where can I find a list of common/popular openbox apps to use? [22:23] I want to use the terminal to search for every file called desktop.ini and delete every instance of it in a given directory (and recursively) how do I do this please? [22:24] MHz128: dunno. lxpanel, gnome-panel, tint2 are some popular ones [22:24] ugh, after just starting to use the 3d desktop cube now eveyrtime i look at my screen i feel like it's moving, even when it's not. will this pass? :P [22:24] MHZ128 > you'll get that list you want [22:24] blakkheim, gnome-panel is docking my openbox windows... :P [22:24] bdelin88: "find" will do that for you.. something like find /some/folder/ -iname desktop.ini --exec rm {} \; [22:24] gabrielsimon, ?? [22:25] Slart: thank you! [22:25] bdelin88: I might be a little wrong about the syntax.. man find will tell you more [22:25] MHz128: i misread what you said, i thought you were asking for panels. there are no "openbox apps" - you can use any apps [22:25] bdelin88: dangerious no warranty: find / -type f -name "desktop.ini" | xargs rm [22:25] dont use xargs rm [22:25] !flac [22:25] 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 [22:25] infid: i prescribe two doses of alt+tab and a dark room. you'll be fine :) [22:25] heh [22:25] bdelin88: don't test it with "rm".. you'll just end up deleting files you didn't want to delete.. start with --exec echo {} \; instead [22:25] thnx [22:25] infid: because of names with spaces? [22:26] blakkheim, no worries. Gnome-panel is great. But how do I make it dock the windows? they are minimizing to 'nowhere' hehehe [22:26] MHz128: do you have the applet added for windows being docked to it? [22:26] klappi: yeah but i guess it's ok for this commandm, aside from ingraining a bad habit [22:26] Is there any benefit to be gained from having two Wi-Fi adaptors installed in my PC? === manic is now known as Guest58386 [22:27] I'm using Karmic on a laptop with a headset. my microphone sounds all staticy, and and sometimes it's fixed when I remove pulseaudio and use esound, but then when I restart I completely lose my mic, and somehow reinstalling pulseaudio and such gives my mic back, any ideas? help please. :-) [22:27] infid: sorry shame on me [22:27] noobuser, if you had 2 wireless networks you could connect to, you could route your internet for different sites amongst the 2 connections [22:27] noobuser: same model ? [22:27] blakkheim, weird. I ran it from terminal, nothing happened. ran it from gnome-do, and now its fine :p [22:27] DasEi: Different models. [22:28] hiiiii! [22:28] noobuser: so no bounding then [22:28] EastDallas [22:28] bonding wouldnt benefit speeds anyway [22:28] for wireless [22:29] DasEi: What is bounding? [22:29] hi i want a bunch of text based programs [22:29] noobuser: you put two nics together as one [22:29] morphix: What if I have two Wi-Fi networks available to me? [22:29] Two ISPs? [22:29] as ever user who connects to the access point slows the connections down eg. 3 connections you get 1/3 of the 54mbit speed on 11g [22:29] DasEi: So I'd get double the speed? [22:29] blakkheim, thanks for the advice! [22:29] noobuser, that could work [22:30] ff [22:30] noobuser, i used to share my internet with my neighbour and his shared with me [22:30] I'm using Karmic on a laptop with a headset. my microphone sounds all staticy, and and sometimes it's fixed when I remove pulseaudio and use esound, but then when I restart I completely lose my mic, and somehow reinstalling pulseaudio and such gives my mic back, any ideas? help please. :-) [22:30] need some help setting up VPN, my log says: "Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/2" then "Modem Hangup" [22:30] should it not be trying to use my wireless connection (which is what I am connected with)?

[22:30] later guys... i'm going to go get drunk [22:30] why can i not change file permissions? im using nautilus and im the owner of the file(s) [22:30] noobuser: on wired, morphix is right on most wireless routers, as they share the load with clients, depends also on accespoint and wireless dapter [22:30] rek: infocom adventures? [22:31] nixjr: are the files on an fat32 or ntfs drive? [22:31] morphix: Yeah, that's kind of what I'm able to do. [22:31] Hi, when I right-click on the desktop and keep the button pressed and move the mouse and choose a menu item, I can activate it. If I right-click without moving the mouse, it has a different behaviour, the menu remains visible. My question: How can I specify the threshold to be larger? [22:31] ok so I used ntfsundelete /dev/sdc1 -u -i 27-57890 -d ~/Recovery but it it keeps telling me couldn''t create file, file exists so must I create a new file name for each inode entry? [22:31] i will most likely be in need of support when i get back [22:31] morphix: Except that my Wi-Fi cards are different models. [22:31] klappi: what [22:31] Slart, yes its an ntfs [22:31] that doesn't matter if you are going to be using 2 different networks [22:31] you can do link-aggregation on Ubuntu?? [22:31] sucks that I can't get any help. :( [22:32] nixjr: I don't think ubuntu cares about file permissions on ntfs drives [22:32] does anyone know a fix to get borders off of undecorated urxvt windows? === pretto_ is now known as Pretto [22:32] Hi all, I have problem with setting properly display resolution on VirtualPC2007, I've installed ubuntu 9.10 and I did set modeline into /etc/X11/xorg.conf like that: Modeline "1280x960@60" 105.68 1280 1312 1712 1744 960 979 989 1009 but this setting isn't applied - I see only max 1024x768. Where is mistake? This modeline I've generated via website [22:32] so yeah im still having this problem: installing ut2004, get through the install up to where it asks for cd 2. so i insert cd 2, and choose yes to continue. except that nothing happens until i close it :S what should i do? [22:33] Slart: If there's anyway you could help me out a little bit more I would appreciate it... I looked through man page but my brain just doesn't think well to use the terminal right just yet... if you can offer any more assistance i would very much appreciate it. I tried your example and it says paths must precede expression: exec...which I thought it did [22:33] rek: i was joking (old text adventure computer games) [22:33] bdelin88: ok... what command did you try? [22:34] Slart, the reason im trying to chnage the file permissions is because there are many files (txt, jpg, cue ... etc) all marked as being executables, how might i fix that? [22:34] find media/Media/ -iname desktop.ini exec echo {}\; [22:34] Slart: sorry, forgot to highlight: find media/Media/ -iname desktop.ini exec echo {}\; [22:34] nixjr: I think you can change that in your fstab file.. although I'm not sure exactly what to do..

[22:36] kde > openbox? O_O [22:36] bdelin88: yay.. you're welcome [22:37] can i get help for ubuntu server here? [22:37] Slart: that is awesome, sorry...still learning terminal lol [22:37] I last used linux 10 years ago, and have use XP since. But vista and 7 are pieces of crap. Ubuntu linux is light years ahead of where I last saw linux. I'm blown away [22:37] miranda_: general ubuntu, #ubuntu-server is there, too [22:37] kernel_geek: nope.. 10 mb/s isn't very good.. 10 MB/s on the other hand is pretty normal [22:37] Ive been delving into wpa security and I have a question about wordlists...I know you can put a dictionary file into aircrack, but I understand that you need to specially create a rainbow table based on the BSSID...is this necessary or does aircrack automatically parse the words in the list for the specific BSSID in the .cap file??? [22:37] Slart, slightly off topic, am i right in assuming file extensions mean nothing in linux? [22:37] DasEi, Thanks you so much [22:37] Slart: lol :D [22:37] nixjr: correct.. although I think gnome might use them for some superficial stuff [22:37] need help istalling cam plz help [22:38] nixjr: try the file command its nice [22:38] I've been playing with all the gnome visual effects all day, lol [22:38] kernel_geek: to explain a little bit more.. 10 Mbit/s is pretty poor.. 10 MByte/s is pretty normal.. capital B for byte, lower case b for bit [22:38] if anyone knows about cracking WPA, please see my question above...thanks in advance!!

[22:39] need help installing cam it's downloaded to /usr/src/modules === ssma is now known as SpArTaKo [22:39] klappi, will do, if theres one thing ive learn so far its that linux=reading lol === SpArTaKo is now known as identifuty [22:40] is anyone familiar with the touch command? I know you can use it for creating random empty files, but is it possible to use it to create a few random pieces of text inside those files? [22:40] mack_million, it's not specifically an ubuntu thing is it really? better asked in #security perhaps? [22:40] i am a network administrator for an IT company and trying to learn for security purposes. plus, I like to mess around with all types of computer stuff [22:40] ok, thanks plazia [22:40] can someone explain why my internet speed is so damn slow when I use my router? I have my modem plugged into my router and my main computer connected via Ethernet to router [22:40] mack_million, no worries mate. [22:40] jsec: I think touch is really used to update the files "latest access" date.. it's more of a secondary effect that if the file doesn't exist it gets created === ssma is now known as SpArtAko [22:41] jsec: text like random data or real words? [22:41] jsec: you can use something like "echo blabla > somefile" this will create a file with the text "blabla" [22:42] Slart, yeah, but it was just nice be able to go "touch blah blah blah" and have all those files instantly created. [22:42] klappi, real words [22:42] jsec: ah.. yes.. it's very convenient.. perhaps if you explain what you are trying to do we might be able to help you better === SpArtAko is now known as SpTk [22:43] jsec: you could use /usr/share/dict/words if you have such a file [22:44] Slart: originally I was working on a program that recursively searched directories for files with certain names. Now the project has morphed into searching for certain words within files (ie. recursively searching a directory/subdirectories and then searching through each file) [22:44] jsec: duplicating grep? =) [22:44] essentially yes :) [22:45] jsec: ok.. and you need some example material? [22:45] why not use grep? [22:45] like.. grep "word" -R /path/to/start/* [22:45] Slart: I was really just seeing if there was a command similar to touch for creating files with random words and such so I don't spend as much time creating throwaway files [22:45] morphix: because then you dont get to write it yourself =) [22:46] yeh but writing something that already exists seems..pointless? [22:46] jsec: why not try using manpages? lots of text in those [22:46] morphix: such are the trials of a college student :( === KennethP_ is now known as KennethP [22:46] Slart: I'll have to take a look at it and see if I can turn something up. Thanks for the advice. [22:47] jsec: you're welcome [22:48] Is there anything known about the Intel driver in Kubuntu 9.10? The actual drivers (the default "new" one and the fall back) are both HORRIBLE.. the new one causes me having to wait 30 seconds to see the 30 characters I just typed.. The fallback is still slow as hell, though now I "only" have to wait 5 seconds.. but with this one, suspend hangs my machine and every now and then, at random, the screen blanks and never comes back forcing me to restart the [22:48] machine.. [22:48] In other words, current intel drivers suck balls, pardon my French [22:48] Is there any news on a new Intel driver that actually ... eh.. just works? [22:48] hmm.. some odd reason 1 of the buttons on my laptop (it being usually a button to change power management for windows) seems to have set itself to lock the screen when pressed. [22:49] phoenixz, get a real gfx card! [22:49] phoenixz, mine works fine. i can even play hd flash and its fine [22:49] phoenixz: from what I heard support is much better now in karmic, which chipset ? [22:49] phoenixz: hmm.. and I was just thinking of getting a laptop with an intel graphics card.. I thought they had fixed this in 9.10 [22:49] does someone have geforce 8400? [22:49] protojay: Sure, I'll either buy a new laptop or somehow rebuild the motherboard of this laptop so that it has an ATI.. ? Something realistic maybe? Anyway, if the drivers are crap, it doesnt matter what hardware you have.. [22:50] phoenixz, ati.. noooo [22:50] Im having trouble with tv out.. all I get on my tv is like no signal.. it works under windoz [22:50] geforce. [22:50] Slart: don't.. at least not for 9.10.. 9.04 and 9.10 were both crap, but if you ask me, 9.10 actualy got it worse.. [22:50] morphix: no, ANY hardwar should work! [22:50] ati has issues [22:50] phoenixz: ouch.. I'll be sure to try a live cd in the store then... make sure it works before I hand over any cash [22:51] phoenixz: you could check ppa for better intel drivers may be [22:51] nvidia cards have the best support in linux [22:51] ati is crap but better than intel [22:52] Hey everyone [22:53] hey myke [22:53] hello, I have installed ubuntu on this laptop, and when I go to the virtual terminal 1 it works ok, but when I go back to the vt 7 (x terminal) my laptop suspends [22:53] klappi: nop.. the PPA intel driver is what I have now.. its like 3x faster (but the original is like 30 times slower than normal, so the ppa is still 10x slower anyway) but it gives random screen blanks.. when that happens, I can't do anythihg but reset the computer [22:54] Slart: If I can recommaend you anything, its going for either ATI or NVIDIA [22:54] Slart: or, like morphix said, maybe just nvidia :) [22:54] phoenixz: sorry it was just an idea [22:54] phoenixz: mm.. I think I'll stick to nvidia then.. ati is scary =) [22:54] klappi: i have nvidia 9800gt [22:54] phoenixz, thats odd, this machine has a Intel Corporation 82G33/G31 Express Integrated Graphics and it works perfectly fine, heck even compiz works 100% perfect. [22:54] DasEi: Intel I945.. either the new driver, or the v2.4 fallback are both crap.. [22:55] I945 eek.. [22:55] morphix: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) [22:55] ah [22:55] yeh, its just a crap card. lol [22:56] i wish i had nvidia, but this is my work machine. [22:56] morphix: I know its a card, but I've seen it working a whole lot faster than its running now.. on 8.04 it was FAST actually... 2d and 3d... well, relatively fast that is :) [22:56] !hcl [22:56] 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 [22:57] Thing is, how come that in the year 2010, linux STILL requires very specific hardware, or you will be screwed with problems?

What can i do? === Xcell is now known as |nv|s|ble [22:57] I mean, how much longer do we have to wait before we finally have *at least* normal GFX support? [22:57] cause most drivers are made for windows [22:58] thats why i stick with nvidia cards [22:58] i have no issues. [22:58] because with all drivers that the linux kernel has, GFX support is still crap at best.. [22:58] Worse, how come that when somehting is working fine, suddenly a new version makes that its not working fine anymore?? My Intel card was working fine before.. [22:59] phoenixz: youre right i suffer having no speed step with my grep i945 motherboard [22:59] I mean, this is not something that will get linux to be universally accepted as a desktop OS.. [22:59] poor driver testing prolly [22:59] phoenixz: i have a core duo 3GHZ and run it on 667MHZ all the time, sad [23:00] well, i finally got ut2004 to install [23:00] reeeeally [23:00] schui_: gz [23:01] now im having trouble to run it, i get this error: /ut2004-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [23:01] i think im missing some file [23:01] Not flaming here, I think great work is being done, but the practical situation as is now needs to change.. I'm quite the computer guy, when having problems like this, I work to fix them as best as I can (though right now its just not possible).. but like my parents for example? My dad was lucky, his comp. works fine, he loves linux.. My mom had it replaced again with windows, just because of gfx and printer driver issues.. [23:01] schui: search on google for it [23:01] there is a .deb out there that takes care of it, for some reason 9.10 omitted the c++ standard lib [23:02] ah i see [23:02] schui_: apt-cache search -n libstdc++ === Mazeal is now known as Mazeal_afk [23:02] phoenixz, its the whole conseqeunce of having such a low market share in linux... but thats howlinux is designed... difficult to use and unintuitive [23:02] <|nv|s|ble> i take it ffmpeg is better than mencoder? [23:02] schui: http://packages.debian.org/stable/base/libstdc++5 [23:03] how can i get save changes on my ubuntu USB stick? [23:03] ffmpeg has better compatibility [23:03] <|nv|s|ble> ic..tx [23:03] phoenixz, the reason for problems is due to the support by the manufacturer of devices not having linux drivers or crap implementations, its not the fault of linux developers for lack of suport given. [23:03] <|nv|s|ble> any reason brasero crashes on burn?.. [23:03] what one should i download? [23:03] protojay: umm... disagree with the last thing you said.. Linux is intuitive, and very easy to use.. any problem in linux usually is fixed with ease, in windows usually it can not even be fixed.. And the programs are exelent too.. its just the drivers that suck.. [23:03] how can i specify a boot image i want to use if i have a new one? [23:04] schui_: please don't use packages designed for debian on your ubuntu system, that's asking for trouble mixing distros like that [23:04] windows its usually a format to fix a lot of problems :P [23:04] phoenixz, i genenrally find things easier to fix in windows [23:04] anyone got some tips for handy apps? [23:04] ardchoille: i typed the command you said in terminal [23:04] handy apps? [23:04] is that what you meant to do? [23:04] phoenixz, too much havin to read documentation and enter cli mode in linux [23:05] for anyone who was wondering 9.10 won't install on a RAID part === sale_ is now known as sale [23:05] schui_: yes, that searches for libstdc++ in the repos [23:05] morphix: :) Again, not blaming developers.. Just mentioning that a) When something works, make sure it KEEPS working and not just some day stops.. b) at least the basic drivers, like GFX and audio should just be done better.. [23:05] someone pls? [23:05] ardchoille: i understand what you're saying, but seeing as ubuntu is debian-based, would it be that big of a deal? [23:05] Handy apps, i ment like.. applications that are good to have. i just installed ubuntu [23:05] how can i specify a boot image i want to use if i have a new one? [23:05] phoenixz, drivers are hard to get working without the support of hte vendors [23:05] protojay: Not using CLI in linux, still easier to fix most things.. when including the CLI, forget windows ever existed.. [23:05] jsec: yes, it's that big a deal [23:05] ardchoille: so i entered the command, what now? [23:05] phoenixz, i agree, but blame the manufacturers instead of bashing linux. [23:05] it had a big list of things [23:05] protojay: I know.. [23:06] jsec: "based on debian" does not mean it's equally compatible with debian's packages [23:06] pixalen: check out software center [23:06] morphix: again, not bashing Linux.. Believe me, me loves Linux [23:06] phoenixz, your average user seems to think linux is much harder than windows [23:06] schui_: what did it return? you needed libstdc++ correct? [23:06] ardchoille: makes sense. i thought they were more alike than they really are [23:06] The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 [23:06] Tweaking windows is a lot more arcane than Linux, the windows registry is a mess [23:06] phoenixz, i will agree, things are improved massively... but there are alot of things in linux which arent implemented in the prettyest way [23:07] protojay: ah, but thats another story.. My dad also thought the same.. not because it is more difficult, its different.. once he tried it for a day he never looked back [23:07] schui_: which version of ubuntu are you running? [23:07] i wanted to try out karmic but when it boots I get a corrupted display when it goes to graphics mode, I have a nvidia 6200 GPU, any ideas? [23:07] back after connection drop [23:07] protojay: like what? (and don't mention drivers, I already have that, heheh) [23:07] 2.28.1 i think [23:07] rakista: windows registry is a blasphemy... [23:08] I'm using Karmic on a laptop with a headset. my microphone sounds all staticy, and and sometimes it's fixed when I remove pulseaudio and use esound, but then when I restart I completely lose my mic, and somehow reinstalling pulseaudio and such gives my mic back, any ideas? help please. :-) [23:08] q.. is there a way to enter someones name to get their attntion without typing it? [23:08] lol [23:08] schui_: no, open a terminal and run lsb_release -r [23:08] ah, 9.10 :) [23:08] rakista: The entire windows organization is a blasphemy.. in linux, from the folder you can already see what contents it will havge.. in linux, drivers and images and libraries are all mixed, its one huge pile.. [23:08] oh my god [23:08] * Claudiu is away: Away for now .. [23:09] phoenixz, like one day my entire system stopped booting up, configuring dual monitor support, configuring the desktop is sloppy [23:09] rakista: not to mention the directies called 23LK-J42-K3J4-L2KJ-34LK-J234-LKJ2-K3L4 [23:09] i do have a very high fan noise on my laptop, bios fan option is not activated, and i cannot use pwmconfig as it says i do not have any capable sensors. The cpu load is around 7 or 8 % and cpu temp is around 55C. It seems that the fan is just STUCK at that speed. Any ideas on how to track the issue down? [23:09] how do you type a space into terminal? [23:09] termina|: space bar ? [23:09] macman_: i mean when typing file names [23:09] \ [23:09] protojay: configuring dual monitor in KDE is pretty okay, be it if driver support is okay :) [23:09] It is strange though there are Windows Gurus but they don't share their knowledge for free [23:09] termina|: \ [23:10] Terminator, eg. file\ name [23:10] ardchoille: its 9.10 or the latest i just updated it [23:10] Ziber: thanks [23:10] for a "\" before the space [23:10] schui_: you're on 9.10? you should have libstdc++ installed [23:10] protojay: desktop configuration sloppy? try kde, 4.4 is be-au-ti-ful.. [23:10] put* [23:10] phoenixz, configuring the boot loading? generally the whole slew of configuration files in /etc/ [23:10] hi people! any ways to fix the problem with flash eating up so much processor while playing flash-apps on browser? [23:10] schui_: perhaps that app can't find it [23:10] phoenixz, grub2 [23:10] protojay: thats the beauty of it.. I never ever configured boot loading.. its rare having to do that.. [23:10] ardchoille: i think i'm missing an older file or something [23:10] phoenixz, users want nice easy screens to show them what to do... not reams of online documentation [23:11] sorry guys .. switch from consle to X [23:11] progre55: not really, thats just the way flash is. === tuv0k is now known as darthlaptop [23:11] schui_: ah, could be, libstdc++5 is older [23:11] protojay:true.. but what user will ever modify boot loader configuration? thats like.. never? [23:11] Jeruvy: but it's not that greedy on windows.. [23:11] progre55: sure it is :) [23:11] phoenixz, getting linux apps like apache setup is usually complex, the firewalling settings, where to stop [23:11] Jeruvy: well, I hope it is =) [23:11] protojay: i wanted a free compiler back in the old days ^^ [23:11] schui_: any chance of getting a newer version of that app? [23:11] Jeruvy: thanks anyways =) [23:11] progre55: flash is 100% cpu intensive, it doesn't use any gpu [23:12] phoenixz, lots of parts of linux were obviously not designed with a gui interface in mind and was tagged on later [23:12] apache setup is idential between windows and linux [23:12] except for external things such as firewall [23:12] protojay, many windows features are command line and hidden deep in the registry though [23:12] ardchoille: no idea, its unreal tournament 2004. i'm pretty sure it's installed correctly [23:12] Every once in a while a windows game that I'm emulating messess up X. How can I kill X so that I can restart it? [23:12] rakista, yeh, but most features you need are nicely available in the interface [23:12] schui_: Ah, ok well I know nothing about gaming [23:12] ardchoille: but its from 2004 so yeah old file? [23:12] protojay: firewall configuration has a VERY easy tool, best I've ever seen.. eeh.. fwbuilder, if I recall.. apache setup is equal on windows and linux.. [23:12] Jeruvy: oh and you might know.. another problem with flash, but that only happens on linux.. I cant type in cyrillic characters into a flash text field.. any fixes for that, please? =) [23:12] schui_: yes, quite old as far as software goes [23:13] protojay: and building a GUI to manage configuration files is trivial, but it is work.. somebody just has to do it.. [23:13] progre55: which plugin are you using, official, beta or non-official (ubuntu distro)? [23:13] ardchoille: what exactly did that command you gave me do? [23:13] paradigm_: stop and then start [23:13] Hello everybody.. I wonder if I can get some help setting up my laptop to accept wireless N from the Wireless N card.. at the moment it automatically downgrades all signals to G [23:13] schui_: apt-cache search -n blah <-- searches for blah in the package cache and filters by name [23:14] Jeruvy: do you mean distro by "plugin"? ubuntu 9.10 (2.6.31-17) [23:14] schui_: best way to find an app [23:14] phoenixz, i will admit, things have improved alot [23:14] phoenixz, but still much work to do, before linux is mainstream ready on the desktop [23:14] progre55: flash plugin actually. Which one did you install? [23:14] does anyone knows how run original films in ubuntu? [23:14] phoenixz, and you cant expect drivers vendors or software vendors to port until that happens [23:14] protojay; i dont need that to happen [23:14] Jeruvy: oh, no idea :) how can I find out? [23:14] protojay: they have yeah.. But I think its not going to happen until drivers get fixed.. somehow.. [23:15] ciao a tutti [23:15] protojay: again, you may want to give a look at KDE4.4.. I'll put that up to any windows anyday.. [23:15] ardchoille: well the error im getting is saying i dont have libstdc++.so.5 [23:15] schui_: yes, that would be the libstdc++5 package I believe [23:15] progre55: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html [23:16] phoenixz, i dont think the drivers are a main problem for 90% of people, its the software situation, we need better emulation and easier, like wine but better [23:16] schui_: and that isn't in the 9.1 repos [23:16] !it | tiberio: [23:16] tiberio:: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese.

[23:18] protojay: true, wine should become more transparent.. should be invisible at all actually.. but then again, we also don't want people to run windows programs where there are perfectly fine (and many times even better) linux apps available.. [23:18] The Ubuntu forums can be found at http://www.ubuntuforums.org. There is also a channel on IRC Freenode #ubuntuforums. [23:18] schui_: http://ubuntuforums.org/ [23:18] phoenixz, the linux apps are often not as good [23:18] phoenixz, exceptions such as firefox exist [23:18] protojay: firefox is not a linux app.. works pretty much equal on windows and linux.. and yeah, there are many apps that function better if you ask me.. [23:18] protojay , phoenixz perhaps this converstion would be better in #ubuntu-offtopic ? === joseph is now known as Guest38152 [23:18] and free :P [23:18] i have a dell 20inch monitor and ubuntu wont recognize the resolution...anyone know how i can fix this?

I do not recommend this, but it works. [23:48] Um_cara_qualquer: "sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh" [23:48] I recently installed Xmonad, and i set it as my default window manager, i am now stuck in either my mouse cursor or command line, how can i change my default window manager from the command line interface? [23:48] hmm [23:49] rww: so i only need ~2gb of hard disk space? [23:49] rww: i use a Raid5 server with 25tb if diskspace, and a corei7/ SW Raid in a VMWARE, at the same machine a Webserver, with 12GB of Mem [23:49] i just need it to run a few siple daemons [23:49] nothing complex [23:49] ckhikuzad: that "my mouse cursor" is xmonad [23:49] Hi guys anyone know if i install this card Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1600 along with v4l-dvb-725c07a70453.tar.gz after ubuntu 9.04 is installed will work ?

Could you http://pastebin.com/ that? [23:51] Hello [23:51] it's in portuguese [23:52] ckhikuzad: alt-shift-enter will give you a terminal so you can run whatever you want in xmonad [23:52] hello, i'm facing a problem with GLib-WARNING **: g_set_prgname() called multiple time after lots of googling i found that the version that i have has a bug with 9.10, so how do i downgrade to earlier version of glib2.0 ? [23:52] Um_cara_qualquer: o.O [23:52] hold on [23:52] Um_cara_qualquer: pastebin it, someone might know [23:52] test [23:53] Um_cara_qualquer: Well, could you translate that?

[23:53] ckhikuzad: well how did you change it before? I assume you would change it back the same way (probably gconf) [23:53] Falha = fail [23:53] Um_cara_qualquer: I'm using Google Translate. :) [23:53] i connected my CB Radio to yahoo talk [23:53] hehehe ok [23:53] hello, I´ve been trying to burn a video-dvd with brasero... but the video-quality is really bad, while the original .avi file is great... any ideas? [23:53] kinja-sheep: http://pastebin.com/m1d8bc590 [23:53] jrib, i changed it when i logged out, and selected it on my login screen, i accidentally clicked set as default [23:54] So far I can see the device but I get an error about assigning some type of address to the device [23:54] Hi guys anyone know if i install this card Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1600 along with v4l-dvb-725c07a70453.tar.gz after ubuntu 9.04 is installed will work ?

[23:55] How do I see what wireless drivers I am currently using for a specific device? Thanks [23:55] ctrl+alt+backspace doesnt bring me back to the login [23:56] jrib [23:56] Yoman: lsmod [23:56] ckhikuzad: alt-shift-q [23:56] Um_cara_qualquer: I don't think it was. Do "sudo aptitude install libdvdcss2" and run "sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh" again. [23:56] belacqua: how did you configure that after you upgraded pulseaudio? [23:56] kinja-sheep, it was, but i unninstalled it to reinstall it again, but i couldn't find it anymore [23:57] blakkheim, ok thanks =) does that show all the drivers I have for all my hardware? [23:57] thanks so much jrib. thats one window manager i'm aptitude removing. (its a great WM from what i hear, but i dont like it [23:57] Yoman: lsmod shows all modules currently loaded [23:57] where does apport logs the crash report ? [23:57] ckhikuzad: meh, I think it's great, but you need to be willing to feel helpless for a little bit [23:58] blakkheim, sounds like I've got some reading to do.. :) [23:58] wow this feels advanced [23:58] Um_cara_qualquer: http://packages.medibuntu.org/karmic/libdvdcss2.html [23:58] I've never liked d link [23:59] Hi guys anyone know if i install this card Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1600 along with v4l-dvb-725c07a70453.tar.gz after ubuntu 9.04 is installed will work ? [23:59] apoch2020, me either. [23:59] the only reason I wished to utilize the card in linux was to see if it could be used in airomon and such.... [23:59] probably not [23:59] I already have a decend usb cracking adapter though [23:59] jrib, i know that, but not knowing ANYTHING about the WM before logging into it is very bad. i'm giving it another chance, but im learning all the commands first [23:59] ckhikuzad: sounds good [23:59] it doesn't work :(
