[00:56] keith: use synaptic and search for 'kernel image' then uninstall the older ones.. be sure not to uninstall the current version [00:56] ok so just remove it from there [00:56] got ya thank you [00:57] What is the command to update grub's menu [00:58] Dr_Willis, nope, not there [00:58] by panel, do you mean top or bottom? [00:58] I don't even see the option in "add to panel" [00:58] so... anyone else getting this? http://blogs.gnome.org/hughsie/2009/08/17/gnome-power-manager-and-blanking-removal-of-bodges/ [00:59] bobbytek: given that i can move my panels around... it may not be where yours is.. its handled by the nm-applet program and its pretty much a default icon in the panels system tray right next to my little off button, and volume controll [00:59] Awesome3000: grub 1 or 2 ? [00:59] bobbytek: You are using GNOME? or KDE? or what exactly? [00:59] gnome [01:00] should be in the top right little group of icons then. [01:00] anyone home? [01:00] or try running the 'nm-applet' program if it crashed [01:00] !hi | two4two_ [01:00] two4two_: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines . Enjoy your stay! [01:00] can someone please goto http://plainwalker.com and http://plainwalker.com/webmail and see if it works please [01:00] bobbytek: note taht many of those icons have very different menus on the right and left click buttons. [01:00] ah [01:01] that worked [01:01] oh i know. ill remove my KDE with kubuntu :) [01:01] OK, anyone know anything about partitions, file allocation tables and file systems? [01:01] plainz-notfound: http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ [01:01] however, there aren't many options [01:01] wait! [01:01] found it! [01:01] two4two_: you may want to ask a more specific question.. instead of playing 20 questions to get down to the actual problem [01:01] DasEi: and that means what to me? [01:02] two4two_ Ya What you wqant to know [01:02] plainz-notfound: you can put an address there to see if it's up === aarcane_ is now known as aarcane [01:02] DasEi: ahh..thats cool thank you [01:03] OK, here's a question. Gparted shows a partition sda1 it says filesystem FAT16, but fdisk -l shows type c = fat32, lba. [01:03] is there any tool to help me analyze and repair this situation? [01:03] plainz-notfound: your link gives me an unconfigured spaceholder, but ubu-support here, least it's up and loads [01:04] Nicotine dies and exits... What does this mean? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m7b009bfb (it happens a few seconds after I enter anything into the search box in Nicotine+ 1.2.12) [01:04] DasEiL im more worried about webmail, the other one is just the default since im still working on getting the server up and running [01:05] plainz-notfound: 404, y [01:05] DasEi, on the webmail address? [01:05] plainz-notfound: y [01:05] two4two_: if you have recently changed the partiions - the changes might not show the change till a reboot. (seen that in some cases) [01:06] man that dcc spam is still going on? [01:06] Dr_Willis: yep [01:06] I still havent figured out how to make weechat ignore the 'unkknown ctcp' message it keeps spitting at me [01:07] DasEi: http://www.plainwalker.com/webmail is that working instead? [01:07] Dr Willis, since the partition, file system is corrupted I can't boot there (ntldr not found). I want to reformat it as FAT32 and re-install Windoze in that partition. [01:07] without losing the extended partition. [01:07] plainz-notfound: yes, working, take further try-outs to #ubuntu-offtopic [01:07] DasEi: thank you [01:07] two4two_: if its badly currupted it could be giving confusing info. may be easier to delete/repartiton/reformat it then [01:07] np [01:08] whats the command i would need to get the file libopenal.so? [01:09] nickserv identify iacker7t [01:09] two4two_: also hda1 means primary partition. Which is the extended partition in your layout? [01:09] Dr Willis: I don't want to lose the extended partition, so I want to be able to format sda1 while not disturbing sda2. [01:09] keith: Unistall the older kernels or comment the code in grub [01:09] I have VMware workstation 6.02 running on windows xp host, ubuntu 9.1 as guest. I cannot get bridged networking to work, nor can I get VMware tools to install quite properly. Anyone here experience something similar? [01:09] two4two_: the ntldr missing error can be fixed by using the windows cd in recovery mode [01:10] two4two_: you may have to reinstall grub afterwards [01:10] hello i need to expand my / [01:10] Dr Willis: the Windows recovery console is what changed it to FAT16 from FAT32. [01:10] two4two_: you should be able to format sda1 without hurting sda2 [01:10] my / gat 600mb atm [01:11] AkhlD: how big is it? >: [01:11] HighOctane: We would prabably use ubuntu as host... ;) The network provided by VMware should be visible in the networkmanager-applet in your panel. [01:11] it was 12GB [01:11] doh [01:11] 12 is fine [01:11] where does one store vpn files [01:11] but its only 500MB atm [01:11] just checked my updates today and saw a New Install called watershed in the list .... just wondering about that as I don't recall having things freshly install themselves from the update manager before ... [01:11] where are those dcc "censord.net" things coming from? someone in here? *can't tell what channel it's being sent to* [01:11] AkhlD: remove apt-get cache [01:11] two4two_: sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sda2 [01:11] where ? [01:11] DaZ, where do i find it ? [01:11] two4two_: will format sda2 alone [01:12] it's actually kind of clever - make sure to disable js first [01:12] DaZ, okie in the terminal ? [01:12] HighOctane: If it is not, that would mean that probably VMware is not conigured correclty. Maybe there is a VMware irc #channel on freenode. [01:12] that is, where should one store .pem files? [01:12] NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. [01:12] meganerd, I don't want to format sda2, I only want to format sda1 and not disturb sda2. [01:12] minimec: In my Host, I can choose Bridged networking or NAT or one of two other options. Using NAT, my network works, but doesn't have its own IP. I want to use bridged, but it's not working because vmware tools wont install properly. I don't know what to do. [01:12] AkhlD: apt-get clean [01:13] i think. [01:13] DaZ, now wht ? [01:13] two4two_: then substitude sda1 for sda2 [01:13] does anyone have any experience with network scanning? [01:13] AkhlD: df -h and see if it's better [; [01:13] DaZ, now its 675MB [01:13] eh [01:13] meganerd, and will that create a FAT32 file system? [01:13] dabukalam, what do you want to do? [01:13] AkhlD: du -sh /var/cache [01:13] NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. [01:14] two4two_: yes [01:14] meganerd, BTW, I'm on the ubuntu 8.10 live CD right now. [01:14] two4two_: I personally use ntfs with windows [01:14] HighOctane: I cannot help you further, as I am not really used to VMware. I did a bridged network with Virualbox once and it was a headeache too ;) [01:14] DaZ, 34M /var/cache [01:14] eh [; [01:15] NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. [01:15] minimec: Thanks anyway. [01:15] two4two_: when you reinstall windows, you will have to boot with a live Linux cd again to reinstall GRUB into the MBR [01:15] HighOctane: no problem [01:15] meganerd, I keep FAT32 because this is a triple-boot config: Win98SE, WinXP and Ubuntu 8.10. Somhow I clobbered my sda1. and don't want to lose the rest of my stuff [01:15] DaZ, is there anyway to expand the partition ? [01:15] hattoricaca1, I want to share my scanner over the network. I have an Ubuntu Server running 9.04, and two scanners are connected. I just want one of the to work [01:16] two4two_: sure, whatever works for you [01:16] AkhlD: gparted can do it [01:16] hattoricaca1, before, scanimage used to work for root [01:16] but I want to be able to have win98 access winxp stuff. [01:16] i have 1 gparted [01:16] two4two_: I use vmware and virtualbox for my Windows needs now [01:16] DaZ, tell mw how to [01:16] great thing about ubuntu: it can access everything. [01:16] two4two_: but that may not work for you [01:16] hattoricaca1, but now nothing works after i've been tinkering for the last 4 hours [01:16] AkhlD: i don't know as i've never needed to [; [01:16] Imeganerd: I am researching vmware. Is it a linux ap? [01:17] aww [01:17] hattoricaca1, I don't mind how it's done, whether web interface or through a client, but I need it to work on Linux, Mac, and Windows [01:17] hattoricaca1, can you help me out? [01:17] dabukalam: sorry i thought you were talking bout another kind of network scanning, i havent tried to use image scanners over network, i recall there's the SANE framework, but dunno if it serves to share scanners over network [01:17] two4two_: access everything? >: [01:18] dabukalam: what have you tried so far? [01:18] Daz: yes, it can read and write all my file systems, where Windoze can't access anything linux. [01:18] hattoricaca1: sanewi, phpSANE, SaneTwain, console commands, playing with ownership of the scanner, playing with groups and memberships [01:19] two4two_: vmware runs on either windows or linux [01:19] thanks meganerd === jofo_ is now known as jofo [01:19] two4two_: it doesn't read exfat <: === nosrepa is now known as APERSON [01:19] OK, thanks guys. Supper time! [01:19] two4two_: it can be a pain, I am paid customer of vmware, and I would like to drop them [01:19] dabukalam: i'll try to help, but remind you: i have zero experience on that [01:20] hattoricaca1, all help is welcome! [01:20] how would I go about creating a symlink to launch /opt/my_program/somefile by simply typing my_program at the command line? [01:21] duckx0r: ln -s /opt/program /usr/bin/program [01:21] Is there any way to remotely control a Windows machine from linux [01:21] dabukalam: ok, lemme see what are the tools used in ubuntu [01:21] blakkheim, thanks [01:21] Tiders: exploit it [01:21] vnc [01:21] angels23usa, VNC would work cross platform/ [01:21] yes [01:22] angels23usa, What is the WIndows VNC server called [01:22] im using the shiki colors theme, and when i open up certain things like nautilus it is in the default blocky gnome theme [01:22] not the shiki color theme [01:22] Tiders: i use 'ultravnc' on windows normally [01:22] you can use a lot of different ones, but tightvnc works pretty good [01:22] Dr_Willis, And the Ubuntu remote desktop viewer can connect with that? [01:22] Tiders: any vnc client should be able to connect to any vnc server. === rapha_bei_freund is now known as rapha [01:23] Dr_Willis, Oh alright thanks I just wasnt sure [01:23] dabukalam: what about this? http://scannerserver.online02.com/node/12 [01:23] can anyone help me with xwinwrap [01:23] !info xwinwrap [01:23] Package xwinwrap does not exist in karmic [01:24] Excuse me. I am following the instructions in https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/mailman.html to set up mailman with my server. [01:24] I am using xwinwrap in conjunction with gifsicle to project animated gifs on my desktop [01:24] dabukalam: also http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=679028 and http://ubuntu.online02.com/linux_scan_server (same guy) [01:24] I'm following the instructions for postfix, but when I get to the command sudo postmap -v /etc/postfix/transport I receive the error message in http://pastebay.com/82810. [01:24] If someone could help me I would appreciate it. [01:24] * Dr_Willis cringes at the mention of animated wallpaper [01:25] Dr_Willis: the problem I am having is that the gifs, when projected, cover up all of my other programs [01:25] hattoricaca1, sweet, looks like he's automated the process, let me check this out and get back to you [01:25] angels23usa: gnome's file manager likes to hand the wallpaper. sounds like that app is not staying 'below' the other windows [01:25] angels23usa: or it could be compiz causing issues [01:26] what does "is group or others accessible" mean? [01:26] Dr_Willis: yes, but no it is not compiz if you mean compiz-fusion [01:26] good luck :-) [01:26] Oh wait. [01:26] It says master.cf, not main.cf. [01:26] Hello world! [01:26] :/ [01:26] Dr_Willis: it works without any effects on [01:27] I'm likin Xubuntu... [01:27] Had Ubuntu [01:27] Dr_Willis, thanks for your help, I'm getting further now [01:27] When I try to connect, I'm getting a timeout [01:27] evoone: then you're liking XFCE more than GNOME [01:27] bobbytek: ok. have fun [01:27] What's the best way to diagnose? [01:27] I cannot find a good search tool ala Google Desktop, So far I tried catfish and tracker ... any suggestion ? [01:27] Dr_willis: I got it from HOWTO: Animated .gif as a background on the forums [01:28] bobbytek: no idea - i never use vpn's other then in one i found that was free for 'annomity' [01:28] Updates almost done! [01:28] Dr_Willis, I mean, is there a logfile or something? I found some info in the syslog... [01:28] angels23usa: it could be the howto is out of date and missiong some things. [01:29] Dr_Willis: well the howto is about 6 months old but i can't find any other instances of the same thing === iflema_ is now known as tremmons === prefrontal_ is now known as prefrontal [01:32] hi [01:33] does anyone here play ut2004? [01:34] hmm [01:34] anyone else get the spam messages [01:34] !anyone [01:34] A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [01:34] WebDawg: yes. dcc spam is annoying. I changed to a different irc client so i dont see them [01:35] Hey guys, I have Win XP and Win 7 on my 1st HD, and i have Karmic on my 2nd HD. Win 7 is supposed to chain boot into XP - GRUB comes up, you choose Windows, then choose 7 or XP - but XP doesnt work, it restarts my computer - no error message or anything. Win 7 however, works. Help? [01:35] because i need to find someone that plays ut2004 :p [01:35] schui_: Maybe ask in #ubuntu-offtopic , this is the support channel [01:36] sorry i just need a file [01:36] schui_, #ubuntu-offtopic [01:37] y0 [01:37] names [01:39] hiyas, does karmic have a text mode install? it's X doesn't like our monitor [01:39] Hey guys im having problems charging my LI-ION battery, it stays at 0% and when i unplug it from my outlet it immediatley dies but ubuntu recognizes i have a battery in it, it just wont charge any ideas? [01:39] hmm, i just formatted my passport as EXT4 but its not automounting when i plug it in [01:39] some-random: alternate cd [01:39] How can I get the mysql-server package to NOT prompt for a password on install? [01:39] Hey I set my resolution pretty high the other day for an external monitor, and it worked... I had to reboot, and now GDM can't load because of the resolution I think... are there any workarounds to reset this? [01:40] bastid_raZor, ah rats, we don't have that - any alternatives? (other than that cd) [01:40] some-random: not that i know of. [01:40] alternative cd on a usb? >: [01:40] bastid_raZor, thanks :-) [01:41] lamer213; plug the external monitor back in and fix it? [01:41] Radar: That is a rather good question. The password section is part of the installing routine of the deb package. Did you try to leave it blank? [01:41] yeah, we removed the old hdd before install (i'm talking through a n00b) to prevent mistakes, thanks anyway, i'll get him to dl the alt cd - cheers! [01:41] Anyone?! [01:41] Random832, it says it's out of my monitors range... isn't there some way to prevent grub from autobooting and go boot into a console? [01:42] some-random, isn't the server image still a text install [01:42] lamer213; you should be able to still go into a console with ctrl-alt-f1 [01:42] hello === m4v_ is now known as m4v [01:42] minimec: yes, then it prompts me another two times. I would rather no prompt at all. [01:42] mhm [01:42] hello good people [01:42] Random832, I think it set the framebuffer out of range too, I can see the screen, but I can't type on it [01:42] ctrl - alt -f1 shuld work [01:42] hattoricaca1, yeah, it's a great app, but it's got the same problem as the others, which is derived from the fact that the scanimage command doesn't work [01:42] Hey guys im having problems charging my LI-ION battery, it stays at 0% and when i unplug it from my outlet it immediatley dies but ubuntu recognizes i have a battery in it, it just wont charge any ideas? [01:42] freeagent504, hello :-) [01:42] wait - you can see it but you can't type on it? [01:42] Random832, like when I type nothing shows up. [01:43] what happens if you hit enter a lot? does it start scrolling? [01:43] log in blind on console and do ls -l / [01:43] hey any one have mouse issues with UNR???? [01:43] Is there a way i can check if my li-ion battery has gone dead and how to know if it has? [01:43] Radar: As I mentioned... It is programmed like that in the deb package. You would have to modify the deb package to change the install routine. This is how I understand the deb package system, but don't hang me on that... ;) [01:43] like would a multimeter work? [01:43] I find that my mouse is really finicky [01:44] minimec: beautiful, thanks :) [01:44] Radar: np [01:44] dabukalam: but then your problem reduces to make that command work? why it fails? [01:44] Random832, I tried doing that trick, but I mean, isn't there a way to prevent grub from autobooting, it used to give a few seconds to make a choice in previoius versions [01:44] Purpley: you should use the built in circuitry [01:44] hattoricaca1, i'm looking it up now. Not sure to be totally honest [01:44] ChogyDan, meaning how do i check? [01:45] i tried doing ctrl-alt-backspace too [01:45] freeagent504: i dont have any issues [01:45] Purpley: is it a computer battery? [01:45] hmm... === metj83 is now known as tj83 [01:45] Yes my computer recognizes it and gives me the info about it [01:45] is vlock a good program for locking down ubuntu srv? [01:45] ChogyDan, Yes my computer recognizes it and gives me the info about it [01:45] dabukalam: " grep --color scanimage /var/log/* " might help [01:46] Purpley: I mean, you should just plug it in and see if it takes a charge. If it doesn't, it is dead. Usually those batteries have internal circuitry that monitor and interpret the voltage [01:46] hey is it easy to edit the gnu grub menu???? [01:46] yes freeagent504 [01:46] freeagent504: rather easy. see the grub2 docs [01:46] ChogyDan, If its dead why would my computer see it? [01:46] freeagent504: in grub-legacy, relatively, in grub2, not. [01:46] !grub2 [01:46] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [01:47] i have grub ver 1.97 [01:47] does anyone know if there is a safe mood to boot into or get more options from grub? I need to boot install a console cause gdm is retarded [01:47] !vlock [01:47] Purpley: I guess the internal circuitry is still active? [01:47] freeagent504: that is known as grub2 [01:47] oh ok [01:47] what should my JAVA_HOME var be if I am using the openjdk-6 packages? i have it set to this but I think it is wrong: export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk [01:47] lamer213: the rescue/recoverymode does that I thought [01:48] thanks [01:48] lamer213: or append 'single' ion the end of the grub options [01:48] Dr_Willis, how do i get to that at boot, what key combination or something [01:48] I need help: In pokerstars the button of casher doesnt shows, so I cant buy chips [01:48] freeagent504: follow links and edit /etc/default/grub. [01:48] How can I max out all the CPUs in linux to see the load average/system monitor peak easily? [01:48] so why do i have so many options in the grub2?? [01:48] lamer213: i see the menui items by default. I dont need to hit any keys. try escape i guess [01:48] cat /dev/urandom > /dev/null ?

Anyone able to assist or point me to where I can get help? [01:55] arand_: yo [01:56] luis_: See that now. Forget what I said ... ;) [01:56] neldridge: have u searched on cisco sites? [01:56] NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. [01:56] minimec: ok haha [01:56] hey im trying to install winxp on virtualbox and when it comes to the gui installation windows doesnt recognise my mouse and keyboard??? [01:57] EmLeX: the remote office and the cisco work fine-- it's my local network w/ my ubuntu server that i'm not sure how to route [01:57] NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. [01:57] Is there any potential issue with doing the following?: "chmod 700 /home/user1" [01:57] EmLeX: I'll see if there's general routing information there though, ty. [01:57] is there a section on the site where you download drivers? [01:58] ja660k: odd - never seen that issue. the thing dosent 'grab' your mouse/keyboard? or does it grab and jsut dosent work? [01:58] for some reason the touchpad on my acer netbook is a little crazy [01:58] m1ke, not if you are the only user accessing those files... but you should have a -R if you want it to be recursive [01:58] or -r... i always forget === jon is now known as Guest20486 [01:59] Dr_Willis: no it doesnt grab at all.. i have other distros installed and they work fine. is it problem that its win xp home sp1? (its the last windows i ever used) [01:59] freeagent504: here's how you can remove old kernels: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/356831/ [01:59] arand_: thanks [02:00] ja660k: virtualbox should be grabbing the keyboard/mouse reguardless of teh OS. [02:00] neldridge: do that :) [02:00] Dr_willis: i guess ill try again? [02:00] yep check the vbox settings also [02:01] EmLeX: do you have a keyword I can at least search by? [02:02] Out_Cold, well what I am trying to do is eliminate access to my home directory by other human users. I know however, that the OS automatically creates a number of users and groups and I'm not sure if they need access to my home directory for proper functionality. [02:02] neldridge: nothing coming to my mind atm sorry i did search there last time i needed help whit somting [02:03] Fuck you all. [02:03] Im tired of asking for help and getting no response [02:03] thank you imran, i love you too [02:04] is it possible to give a user access with a limited shell? i need to create a backup user but i want it to only do some things [02:04] !language | imran [02:04] imran: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [02:05] m1ke, if you want make the access 740 or something along those lines.. then only people in your group can read/write [02:05] imran: what's your problem? [02:05] ** sorry you can read/write, others in your group can read and everyone else gets squat [02:06] Intel Wifi Link 5300...Anyone get it working? [02:06] m1ke: That is rather easy. Open nautilus as sudoer F2 gksudo nautilus an change the access rights of your home folder (limit access of the m1ke folder only to the user, and no 'group' and 'others'). Like that no one can access your folder. You don't have to change the rigths of the files in the folder. [02:06] Hilikus, if you intend to you something like rsync to backup [02:06] you can use a ssh key and set it to only allow certain command to be run [02:06] Out_Cold, thanks but that doesn't completely answer my question. I know that the OS automatically creates a number of users and groups. Do they need access to my home directory for proper functionality? [02:06] morphix: i am going to do that already, was just wondering if i can have one more level of security [02:06] so you make it that the user can only rsync a directory or without giving any real access to that user [02:06] Hilikus: sure, restrict the groups the user is in or specify a group backup) [02:07] m1ke, i don't believe so but i'd get a second opinion [02:07] When SSHing into my Karmic server, I don't have tab complete. I've uncommented bash_completion in bash.bash.rc. [02:07] Guiri, i have that issue because of lag [02:08] Hmm. Out_Cold I have a pretty solid connection. [02:08] Hilikus: if you want more security using ssh command restrictions, you can restrict to run a script, which according to some param does the real operations [02:09] Intel Wifi Link 5300...Anyone get it working? [02:09] !gentoo [02:09] Other !Linux distributions besides !Ubuntu include: Debian, Mepis (using !APT); RedHat, Fedora, SUSE, Mandriva (using !RPM); Gentoo, Slackware (using other packaging systems) [02:09] !hi [02:09] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines . Enjoy your stay! [02:09] Hilikus, you could use rssh [02:09] http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-unix-restrict-shell-access-with-rssh.html [02:10] morphix: cool, thanks [02:10] Doing "chmod 700 /home/user1" seems to do what I want. It doesn't look as though I need to do it recursively to restrict access to my home directory. I'm just not sure if restricting access to the non-human users and groups that ubuntu automatically creates can cause any potential issues. [02:10] for backing up you shouldnt need too much more than scp/sftp/rsync access [02:11] you can even use rssh to restrict the user to only do rsync and then chroot them into a directory [02:12] arand_: thanks man [02:15] m1ke, if you run into problems give the directory 760 [02:15] oor 740 [02:16] does any one know of a plugin for adaptive multi rate decoder (AMR) [02:17] Hello, can anyone suggest me a cross-platform (mac/linux) notebook application, which can help me to take notes and snippets and then synchronize them...and also has offline support.

[02:25] freeagent504, but i mean you can, in eeebuntu, scale your cpu down to 10% of max speed, tune your LCD blindingly low (i hope you have a ton of rods in your retinas) and squeeze 20+ hours out of it. [02:25] freeagent504, the point is i don't think you can do that with windows, supposing you were masochistic enough to try it.

[02:35] baltadt - I've done that and it says it's not - when I've done the terminal route [02:36] Out_Cold, yes, I guess I will just have to write a script to do it on the fly, then I could post it maybe, so that anwser could be different :) [02:36] new2Ubuntu: try the deb install from the site if you are running 32bit [02:36] !seen michael knight [02:36] I have no seen command [02:36] alteregoa, michael quit with the message "Remote closed the connection", 3wks 4days 15hrs 46mins 56secs ago.

[02:54] hi people, somebody help about my network connection? [02:54] dabukalam: check the apt-get docs/manual perhaps. I rarely worry about keys much [02:54] dabukalam: sudo apt-key add [02:54] from what I've read the other partition is turned off - something with ubuntu not playing nice with it cause windows had it turned off..

It at least can do a 'terminal/ssh' session in OS-X to my filessrvers decently. [02:56] blendmaster1024: Ubuntu on it - is so slow its almost unuseable [02:56] oops that was for bleepbloop :) [02:56] new2Ubuntu: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [02:56] bleepbloop: if you got more ram . it might work better. [02:57] blendmaster1024, partition the drive into say.. 10 gb partitions and use the distros usb install method? [02:57] Paddy_NI, probably not. [02:57] oh [02:57] blendmaster1024, ah you mean in a magazine kinda way [02:57] I get you [02:57] Paddy_NI: many new disrtos can boot with grub2 - boot the ISO file of the disrto. I set up about 4 live cd's iso files that way on a external usb flash drive. [02:58] i just tried to install ubuntu on my server box (i'm install desktop and intend to convert it, since server is only for 64bit), and it failed when it tried to install grub. any idea where i would start troubleshooting that? [02:58] NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. [02:58] upgrade did nothing - says there's nothing to upgrade [02:58] thanks u dum bot [02:58] Paddy_NI: i got all 4+ iso's on a single partition. Siome times the live cds may need a little setup to properly save changesd and stuff.. but it works decently well [02:58] blendmaster1024, where are you installing grub [02:58] Dr_Willis, I mean so that I can land at my customers house and decide then and there what distro I think would be appropriate [02:59] GentooJay, the default. i think (hd0,1) but i'm not sure, maybe (hd0). [02:59] Paddy_NI: thats possible. I made a 4 iso flash drive that could install ubuntu, kubuntu, xubuntu, or a few other disrtos. [02:59] Dr_Willis, using my external HDD ofcourse [02:59] blendmaster1024: little confusing, : both, desktop and server are there in 32 and 64 bit. what's the hardware of that box ? 32? 64 ? ram ? [02:59] Paddy_NI: i even set up my Installed bx's to boot the iso files as a 'rescue' feature [02:59] NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. [02:59] Dr_Willis, Music to my ears [02:59] i think dial-up connections are not user centric. if you are using a different connection you need to re configure it. either you create two set of config files and create a script. you use the appropriate script for the connection that you might be using [02:59] blendmaster1024, try installing it on sda or hd0 [02:59] DasEi, oh, really? i only have ever seen a 64, time to try again. [02:59] Paddy_NI: not ALL disrtos support grub2 booting their ISO files.. *yet* [03:00] Paddy_NI: also have a look at virtualbox [03:00] Dr_Willis, P.S I have always loved you :P [03:00] Paddy_NI: dont tell my wife. [03:00] NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. [03:00] Paddy_NI: i saw a 'portable virtualbox' setup the other day also. :) for testing [03:00] Dr_Willis, ah What I meant was just booting via any computer that supported booting from usb [03:00] :/ [03:00] so does anyone have a clue as to what the "Err http://security.ubuntu.com hardy-security Release.gpg Could not resolve ':@'" message means? [03:01] * Paddy_NI watches his dreams fall flat [03:01] :( [03:01] i am trying to set vesa driver on my 8.10 intrepid i want to get a full 1280x768 resolution can any one suggest the best way to configure the same [03:01] new2Ubuntu: you get an error from sudo apt-get update ? [03:01] Paddy_NI: Hmm? i can boot muy flash drive and isntall any of the disrtos i got on it to any pc. that does support usb booting of course. [03:01] Dr_Willis, perhaps that comp seeing the ext usb hdd as * many different ISO's [03:01] yes I do - DasEi - how frustrating is THAT.. [03:02] I am going to do a wipe and reinstall. I have backed up /home and /etc. [03:02] !paste [03:02] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://ubuntu.pastebin.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic [03:02] Are there any other well known configuration locations that I should backup? [03:02] I will not be restoring /etc directly. I know to hand pick the files that get restored. [03:02] Paddy_NI: thats not how it works. Ive seen the U3 flash drives somehow show uo as cd's but still if the PC cant boot from USB.. its not going to work [03:02] yeah [03:02] anyone familiar with ubuntu tweak??? [03:02] backup /etc [03:02] The reason for the reinstall is a drive space issue. Using about 97% of / as an ext3 partition. I don't see a safe method of resize under those conditions. [03:02] Dr_Willis, but using a 500gb external usb hdd to boot multiple distros [03:02] new2Ubuntu: saw the paste above ? (trml:) gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [03:02] freeagent504, yup [03:02] Paddy_NI: if you boot them via grub2/iso files - thats trivial. [03:02] hmm [03:02] I get you [03:02] Dr_Willis: sorry about that, something weird happened with my IRC client [03:02] and then backup the hidden folders in your home dir [03:02] Paddy_NI: or use syslinux. [03:03] the ones that start with a period [03:03] new2Ubuntu: paste your sources.list, give url here [03:03] hey i just cleaned the kernels [03:03] paste above? - am I looking In-Chat or In-Terminal [03:03] generally they have application specific configs in them [03:03] Dr_Willis: but yeah, my imac has 512 mb of ram [03:03] first prog i dl on fresh install [03:03] and i restarted [03:03] Dr_Willis, I need to read some better docs to be honest [03:03] !paste | new2Ubuntu [03:03] new2Ubuntu: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://ubuntu.pastebin.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic [03:03] and the grub has not changed [03:03] the menu entries [03:03] Hi , IS There a Good Voice Karaoke for ubuntu ? [03:03] Dr_Willis: and I thought Canonical stopped supporting PPC with 8.04 or something? [03:03] bleepbloop_: it may be a faster then.. but still i find ubinti on it sluggish. the things are just to old. :) [03:03] I'm trying to a get an fully portable version of ubuntu running off my flash drive, but apparently the live usb drive only works once - anyone know how to do this that doesn't involve dependencies on the computer? [03:03] bleepbloop_: its not supported by them - its community supported. [03:04] Hi, I've got an issue regarding a external monitor connected via vga from a laptop, is there a way to make xubuntu 8.10 use the native resolution of this monitor [03:04] applesnacks good luck with that [03:04] bleepbloop_: so dont expect a lot of support. [03:04] Dr_Willis: but I wouldn't be installing ubuntu, I would be installing Debian [03:04] !paste [03:04] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://ubuntu.pastebin.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic [03:04] bleepbloop_: its all about the same. [03:04] thats the same exact experience I have had with bootable USB [03:04] hi people, somebody help me? [03:04] bleepbloop_: unless you are going console only.. [03:04] and I have yet to find out a way to make it work [03:04] Dr_Willis: console only? [03:04] o.k. so - I have no clue how to use commands in an IRC chat - I'm a video and soudn editor/engineer.. [03:04] How would I store a glob in variable for later use when scripting bash? So far, I've only been able to use it as a literal in the REPL.. [03:04] what is the best app to rdp into a windows environment? [03:04] Noturno99, maybe, whats up? [03:05] Which means I can be taught - just have no clue [03:05] bleepbloop_: annoying thing with macs. to adjust the MONITOR you have to use the OS9 or OS-x config tools.. i never did find a way to properly adjust the size/position of my Linux installs. [03:05] remickjb: I prefer rdesktop [03:05] vinagre? maybe for RDP idk [03:05] terminal server client [03:05] bleepbloop_: a GUI is a gui. and will need more power.. so it all deopends on what you are running. [03:05] are you asking to show you what a screenshot? [03:05] i am trying to set vesa driver on my 8.10 intrepid i want to get a full 1280x768 resolution can any one suggest the best way to configure the same [03:05] why u cant install 2 packages at the same time?? [03:05] freeagent504: but the packages are gone or still there? [03:05] Hi , IS There a Good Voice Karaoke for ubuntu ? [03:05] luis__: how about Unintall one while you are installing it at teh same time.. see the potential problems? [03:05] rdesktop crypto is weak, you could probably revserse engineering the protocol and write one on your own.. [03:06] luis__: to keep the system from getting confused. Is the big reaason [03:06] hattoricaca: yeah [03:06] gone [03:06] !who | new2Ubuntu [03:06] new2Ubuntu: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [03:06] Dr_Willis: hmm, this isn't an important computer, and I never use it, so I might just try it out and if stuff gets screwed up too much, I can reinstall mac os x, right? [03:06] Dr_Willis: Sorry go disconnected [03:06] personally, I would setup vnc, and keep the port closed off, and use ssh to tunnel [03:06] but xubuntu 8.10 has no good x integration with my monitor, and configuregtk no longer exist in 8.10, could debian have a better hardware detection? [03:06] ty ubott [03:06] bleepbloop_: if you got the disks yes. :) but i found the reinstall of ox-x took forever.. actually it took LONGER for me to install Uubntu 9.10 on it then os-x. [03:06] freeagent504: try sudo update-grub [03:07] !dasei yes? [03:07] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:07] did I do that correctly? [03:07] bleepbloop_: i just use mine as a terminal mainly. Good Luck. gota run [03:07] * Dr_Willis is gone to work. bye [03:07] i need help uninstalling ubuntu 9.04 and recovering windows 7 froma restore disk please help [03:07] bots are more intelligent than some US presidents - coughbushcough [03:08] Dr_Willis: aight, thanks for the help! :) [03:08] just boot to your windows 7 disk and reformat/reinstall [03:08] !ot | new2Ubuntu [03:08] new2Ubuntu: there is a file, /etc/apt/sources.list , responsible for your software, please open it, copy it to http://ubuntu.pastebin.com, press post on that side , and give resulting url from your browser heree ;; nick without !

[03:08] packages can only be installed one at a time (and their dependencies) because the local apt repository has a lock file placed on it when something is accessing it [03:08] !brain [03:08] Hi!

[03:09] apt database that is [03:09] o.k. DasEi - doing that now... [03:09] diego25635, no just one [03:09] in any case it ensures that the system stays in one piece [03:09] i am trying to set vesa driver on my 8.10 intrepid i want to get a full 1280x768 resolution can any one suggest the best way to configure the same [03:09] techno [03:10] oops, then I supposed you erased ntfs partition and used ext3 instead to install ubuntu [03:10] it is a gateway nv52 laptop and i made recovery disk when i first got it [03:10] edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [03:10] for the driver put in vesa [03:11] then it shouldn't any trouble, your recovery disk will do everything [03:11] and then you can manually set the resolution in there as well [03:11] o.k. [03:11] yes but I'm kinda newb regarding xorg and I may screw things [03:11] once you are done restart the X server [03:12] Hey guys, Ubuntu noob here <3 xD [03:12] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m3b2f7cf0 [03:12] no such thing as an Ubuntu noob, just an Ubuntu user [03:12] DasEi - that's what you need? [03:12] we all just have different experiences with it [03:12] ok new Q how do i open tcp/udp port 3728 in ubuntu 9.04 x86 ? [03:12] ;) [03:13] Darkseid - it's kinda like Reformed MS/Mac users right [03:13] !firewall|Elite_ [03:13] Elite_: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist [03:13] sudo [03:13] Elite_: what do you mean by "open" it? it's a firewall on your pc or a port redir on you router? [03:13] just use iptables [03:13] I need DRI support, and I learning sdl development so I can use vesa [03:13] Baddog144 you here? [03:13] new2Ubuntu: yes, and there are lots of "suprises" in : [03:14] is can't not can [03:14] lol surprises.... that sounds like FUN [03:14] i have no firewall . i installed gigatribe under wine and it needs that port to connect [03:14] hattoricaca: where can i find sudo-grub [03:14] new2Ubuntu: first, you're running hardy heron, 8.04, not ibex (8.10), and then there are incompatible sources in, like feisty and some other irregulars [03:14] Gentoo: Linux for Human Beings [03:15] freeagent504: the command is "sudo update-grub" [03:15] Who have WAYYYY too much time on their hands [03:15] not sudo-grub [03:15] and i have no router i have a direct connection [03:15] hahaha [03:15] Anyone want to look at my Ubuntu 8.04.01 Hardy Heron "Surprises" ??? click ---> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m3b2f7cf0 [03:15] Elite_: if you have no firewall, then there is nothing closing any port [03:15] yes - I know I'm running Hardy - i knew that.. [03:15] new2Ubuntu: "Surprises"? [03:16] yeah flannel.. [03:16] by default all ubuntu ports are closed [03:16] ok it says fail to get disk 0 partition 1 drive letter === enrico_ is now known as don-i [03:16] o.k. so DasEi - how screwed am i and is this as simple as uninstalling something [03:16] new2Ubuntu: I'm not sure what your issue is, but you shouldn't have hardy-proposed enabled. [03:16] Elite_: then you are using a raw iptables fwll [03:17] hello [03:17] Flannel - if I knew what that meant - then i probably wouldn't have it enabled... [03:17] and since i am using a program under wine ubuntu will not open the port cause it does it see it [03:17] :-p [03:17] how do i setup up specific users to have access to create their own website in their account? [03:17] you should be able to open the port with iptables [03:18] anyone? [03:18] new2Ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories [03:18] im trying to make a web server [03:18] new2Ubuntu: idk what you use that machine for , it's no problem to revert it to its original state, but on the other hand the distros really have improved, so if you got no certain reason , a fresh install also considering ongoing support) wouldn't hurt, too [03:18] but will iptables see the program running under wine ? [03:18] Elite_: i'm not sure i understood you, can you pastebin the output of "sudo iptables-save"? [03:18] using one host, with 20 users on it [03:18] well they can write whatever they want to in their home dirs [03:18] ok 1 sec [03:18] i want each users to create their site [03:18] groundup: Install apache, enable userdir, have them create folders called ~/public_html that are world readable (and put stuff in them) [03:18] any idea? [03:19] doubt it, but you can make sure all traffic is allowed on the port [03:19] o.k. well this machine is our only machine - i live in the middle of nowhere - so downloads must be done after 2am til 6am - so I could download but then not sure how to then install.. [03:19] ok where did it save to ? [03:19] Hi all. If I double click title bar it is too slow to fold/unfold. How do I set the speed pls? [03:19] Flannel, installed lamp already [03:20] hi Darkseid can you please explain in a bit more details [03:20] rollup speed? [03:20] groundup: sudo a2enmod userdir && sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart, then they're ready to go. They just have to make sure ~/public_html (and the stuff in it) is world readable [03:20] hattoricaca: thanks [03:20] And the reason why I went with this version is because of my work - and I was told that Ubuntu Studio was best for video and audio engineering [03:20] it updated [03:21] i will restart [03:21] and see === rich97 is now known as rich97|aaawwaaaa === rich97|aaawwaaaa is now known as rich97|away [03:21] freeagent504: thank you! i hadn't checked the cleaner, one more for this amazing app [03:22] pls? [03:22] hattoricaca where did it save too i can not find the output ? [03:22] Flannel, how do you make them world readable? [03:22] it outputs to a terminal [03:22] nothing happened [03:22] elite@Total-Wipeout:~$ sudo iptables-save [03:22] [sudo] password for elite: [03:22] elite@Total-Wipeout:~$ [03:23] new2Ubuntu: ubuntu studio again is another distro than hardy, though based on the same core, from what you say I sugggest to first get a clean hardy back, and then do upgrades like ubuntu-studio or release-upgrades in your as said night times [03:23] i just tried a "grub-install /dev/sda --recheck --root-directory=/target" to fix my grub problem, but it had an error of "grub-probe: error: cannot open `/boot/grub/device.map`" [03:23] anyone know what caused this? [03:23] new2Ubuntu: do you have to pay your bandwith or is it flat at this time s? [03:24] groundup: You can do it through the GUI (properties, etc) or chmod a+r foo [03:24] NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. [03:24] hi Elite_ I am using a program using wine which is working perfectly but I get some problems when I am printing. I am not sure if it is a problem given by Ubntu, wine or my vesa driver. I am using Vesa Driver because with my intel driver the speed of program i am running is very slow. to this I found that xorg is eating most of the processor and after googling I found we can resolve it by using vesa driver. I definitely got it right and now the speed [03:24] issue is resolved. but the thing is that I am not able to increase the screen resolution and the printing problem as I said earlier [03:24] or w/sudo [03:25] sorry my bad [03:25] blendmaster1024: what does a : grub --version return ? [03:25] ahem... grub... [03:25] like I'm allowed a certain amount of bandwidth per month and per day - but am exempt between 2 am and 6 am for uloading updates etc === jumbers_ is now known as jumbers [03:25] DasEi, ... 0.97 [03:25] time to manage the ESX boxes [03:25] yay me [03:25] does anyone know where xsplash gets called during startup? [03:26] DasEi: Ubuntu Studio isn't another distro [03:26] NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. [03:26] i think its usplash, and grub loads it i'm pretty sure its in the grub.conf [03:26] blendmaster1024: that's grub 1 then, not the current grub2 (as in karmic default) away from prefix with sudo, approaches are different [03:26] PLEASE tell me there's a terminal command to get rid of crap and go clean [03:26] NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. [03:26] :-) [03:26] :-) [03:26] i am trying to get gigatribe to work but it needs tcp/udp port 3728 [03:27] Flannel: well, got an own installer, thaough can be past-installed [03:27] DasEi, of course, i hate grub2, it gives me all kinds of problems that are a million times worse [03:27] mhall19: you can start by checking " sudo grep -Rl xsplash /etc/* " [03:27] hi Elite_ I am using a program using wine which is working perfectly but I get some problems when I am printing.

[03:28] i have no firewall installed [03:28] hattoricaca, thanks, looks like it's part of GDM [03:29] I COULD just try and Install Pardus, Kubuntu 9.1 Desktop i386, or PCBSD 7.1.1 but I was Really digging ubuntu until I found out i had "surprises" [03:29] Flannel, how do you make them world readable? [03:29] mhall119: cool [03:29] groundup: You can do it through the GUI (properties, etc) or chmod a+r foo [03:29] how do you make a folder world readable [03:29] i ask in debian [03:29] i dont use gui [03:29] chmod et etc [03:30] i see [03:30] groundup: for folders, you'll want to chmod it x as well as r, so chmod a+rX [03:30] alright [03:30] then their created website will be at www.foofoo.org/~users? [03:31] flannel [03:31] hi alteregoa you can restart your network by issuing this command /etc/init.d/networking restart this will make your new configuration setting take effect [03:32] Flannel: am I going to have to do a reinstall or can I "revert" to or uninstall things to go back to a "Clean Install" === Goury is now known as C0REY [03:32] DasEi: am I going to have to do a reinstall or can I "revert" to or uninstall things to go back to a "Clean Install" === hollman__ is now known as hollman [03:32] i read public ubuntu has no open ports by default and that it will open ports as needed but since gigatribe is running from wine i guess ubuntu does not see the program so no ports get opened [03:32] Elite_; pm'd you [03:32] ok [03:32] new2Ubuntu,why would you have to reinstall? [03:33] how do i use ngnix instead of apache? [03:33] trevor_: because I have "surprises" [03:33] is ngnix better than apache? [03:33] groundup, for a lot of things. [03:33] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m3b2f7cf0 [03:33] what are these surprises, i didnt catch the original issue [03:33] ok [03:33] yes, I missed the surprises whats that [03:34] click the afformentioned link GentooJay [03:34] GentooJay, any suggestions for my grub problem? [03:34] blendmaster1024: you mean its better right? [03:34] hi [03:34] sorry what was it again? [03:34] ???? [03:34] groundup, for most things. [03:34] hi OM - are you you .25, .5, 1, 2, 4, or 8? [03:34] 26 [03:35] and I KNOW that's oHm but lol [03:35] GentooJay, grub-probe can't open /boot/grub/device.map [03:35] blendmaster1024: any idea how to replace apache with ngnix? [03:35] boa noite [03:35] groundup, nope. [03:35] nice [03:35] :) [03:35] it can't find it or cant open it [03:35] <-- video/audio engineer [03:36] = messed up sense of humour [03:36] video open files [03:36] what is the ubuntu server like this right irc.ubuntu.com/1866 [03:36] GentooJay, yes, i figured. it's a chroot i'm trying to grub-isntall for, so that i can fix this partially installed ubuntu system [03:36] its esey [03:36] by [03:36] why screen is terminating ,when i use 'screen rtorrent' [03:36] so did you guys see my "surprises" [03:37] no security updates? [03:38] hmm, have you tried manually using grub instead of grub-install [03:38] where are the default games on Windows located? What's the path? [03:38] it won't work!! it's broken! why??? lol... no, i didn't know there was any more manually to go than grub-installo [03:38] Eltume: It all depends on how you "install" it. [03:38] new2Ubuntu: no security updates anymore for hardy? was that the surprise? [03:38] ive got the permissions(drwxr-xr-x 1 root, root) on a remote folder, root cannot change them, is there a work around? [03:38] new2Ubuntu: yeah, for one you have feisty and hardy repo's .. that is a great way to break things. [03:39] kinja-sheep the games were installed on windows by default [03:39] Eltume: Default Windows Games (ie Solitare?) Ask in ##windows [03:39] kinja-sheep exactly [03:39] in your chrooted environment, try just going: "grub" to pull up the grub prompt [03:39] exit [03:39] ok... [03:39] ....next? [03:39] then root (hd0,0) or whatever it is for you [03:40] whatever /boot is [03:40] I have no Idea onetin - I am basically a newb trying to figure out why java for firefox won't install, why I can't turn on an NTFS partition and how to fix the problem.. I don't even understand what the sources.list is for - but I'm guessing it's telling my comp where to update from [03:40] ok [03:40] kinja-sheep, the channel seems deserted [03:40] then do "setup (hd0) " or whatever hard drive [03:41] tell me what it does... [03:41] GentooJay, finished without error [03:41] lol can I CLEAR the sources.list and save it and then repair stuff? [03:41] nice.. [03:41] Is there a tutorial or howto that discusses setting up bridging between physical ethernet ports and wireless on current versions of ubuntu? [03:41] new2Ubuntu, uhhhhh, let's see, put nice and clearly, *N*O*!!! [03:41] i guess the question would be, does it work [03:41] lol [03:41] Blendmaster1024: I figured as much lol [03:42] new2Ubuntu: Sources.list contains a list of repositories (or servers) which contain sets of *clean* packages. [03:42] o.k for starters I should delete the feisty line? [03:42] how do I add another channel to my favorite channel list on the same server? [03:42] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m3b2f7cf0 [03:42] you know what would probably be easiest for you mate, backup your /home and reinstall [03:43] Eltume: What IRC client are you using?

[04:06] RGangsta can you update via the internet? [04:06] the new kernel pukes and the original runs fine [04:07] login screen, before select a user [04:07] RGangsta: how did you try it ? added per synaptic, pulled network, did a release upgrade ?

[04:09] new2Ubuntu: call it in browser, press d/l as text, d/l to desktop [04:09] new2Ubuntu, i like chrome [04:09] Suahil: or if there's not more than about 500 files fgrep -ir 'ab_pattern `find . -name '*.py'` [04:09] well I'm not sure what xubuntu comes with as the display manager, probably xdm [04:09] java doesnt work in firefox either [04:09] I believe it is XDM [04:09] new2Ubuntu: should be a file there then, saying f..blah.txt [04:09] it only makes sense [04:09] hattoricaca, do you know if its possible to install it offline? [04:09] well, it could be gdm [04:09] DasEi - I clicked Download - it's now a txt file on the desktop [04:10] anyway, config file should be in.. /etc/X11/xdm [04:10] ::: lights a cigarette :: [04:10] I take a look [04:10] new2Ubuntu: (trml) sudo mv ~/Desktop/f490* /etc/apt/sources.list [04:10] user123: well, you will have to dl it from internet, but if you can't i'll tell you how to do it by editing grub's menu.lst [04:10] gentoo [04:10] wo ist der auslanders? [04:11] Suhail: the best thing for commands like the first version I gave you is to put it in a script [04:11] Xubuntu uses GDM as the default display manager [04:11] ahhhhhh ok [04:11] hattoricaca, please tell me how to do it by editing the menu.lst [04:11] what permission should i give to my folders? [04:11] yes, there aren't xdm [04:11] in that case its in /etc/X11/gdm [04:11] DasEi - o.k. that command renames it correct [04:12] new2Ubuntu: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [04:12] o.k.

It just seemed like something that didn't need to be so complicated i guess [04:13] o.k. the update - gave a list of couldn't fetch [04:13] and the upgrade gave me all zeros - non upgraded none to upgrade [04:13] new2Ubuntu: ok, but it updates and finishes ? [04:13] I think its xsession.. I use slim so I'm not sure what file to edit [04:13] user123: press alt+f2 and enter this "gksu gedit /etc/default/grub" [04:13] Suhail: you see, on ancient unix systems you didn't frequently distinguish file types by extension [04:13] what do you mean by Updates? [04:14] cause it didn't load anything [04:14] joshua__: so change it! [04:14] joshua__: jk--i understand [04:14] new2Ubuntu: is it running or stopping with an error ? [04:14] How do I edit the commands in runlevel S? [04:14] no didn't give an error [04:14] Suhail: hense my recommendation about script.

[04:17] Is there any command to delete or remove a keyboard layout in Ubuntu? [04:17] correct, which one did you use that worked [04:17] sargento [04:17] new2Ubuntu: fetch from the states near you [04:17] DasEi - Settings-> Preferences, Repositories, Filters as options [04:18] edit the line that reads "GRUB_TIMEOUT" and change the number of seconds you want it to wait [04:18] because you can remove one of those desktop entries and it will be gone from the menu [04:18] system --> preferences --> keyboard [04:18] new2Ubuntu: repos [04:18] hello [04:18] new2Ubuntu: download from > other [04:18] new2Ubuntu: fetch from the states near you [04:18] I would suggest mv whatever.desktop ~/ to back it up [04:18] So just change something like S25brltty to K25brltty and no more Braille driver? [04:18] DasEi: - opened a software Packages Window [04:18] Suhail: you know I sometmes used to do it like so: fgrep -i 'ab_pattern' *.py */*.py */*.py */*/*.py [04:18] Suhail: but that depends on knowning how deep your tree is [04:18] GentooJay. by logic: 1st did not works, 2nd and 3rd works. I will try move 1st so [04:19] gross [04:19] joshua__: gross* [04:19] new2Ubuntu: then you're in the wrong tab, look around a little, there is a setting for the download loacation [04:19] what are the odds i could actually get help with an ubuntu problem here? wow.. so many people... im guessing the odds are like 50:1 [04:19] my logic is correct? lol [04:19] or you could cp xfce.desktop default.desktop [04:19] hsafir: My question was answered in less than a minute [04:19] wow [04:19] thats awesome [04:19] funny how the more edge cases you see, the more you tend to type in the hypercorrect command than worry about whether the shortcut will work [04:19] sure, I will try it now [04:19] that will replace the default with the settings from the xfce configuration that worked.. [04:20] what is the etiquette for asking questions to this channel [04:20] !ask | hsafir [04:20] hsafir: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [04:20] Darkseid, I did it a lot of times, but everytime I started up my Ubuntu, has English layout and I need to use Spanish layout, so I have to remove it to be able to use my Spanish layout. I need a command to execute it every time I start up my PC.

[04:20] hm, i cant get java to work. not with firefox and not with chrome .. can anyone help me? i did update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun ... but i get a lot of errors like: update-java-alternatives: jdk alternative does not exist: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/bin/xjc [04:20] sargento, you is brazilian? [04:20] mustelo I'd assume so except for the fact that your internet seems to be working [04:20] new2Ubuntu: press reload in synaptic [04:20] joshua__, wireless. [04:20] portari.

[04:22] !away | GentooJay [04:22] GentooJay: You should avoid noisy away messages in a busy channel like #ubuntu, or other Ubuntu channels; it causes excessive scrolling which is unfair to new users.

[04:27] hattoricaca, thank you [04:27] remix, I use to use Fedora but have to say Ubuntu has an edge over user friendliness [04:27] remix honestly the fact that you are using linux is good enough [04:27] DasEi - that's a good question - but my girlfriend maxed us out last month playing facebook zynga games on her XP laptop [04:27] haha... i was just kidding :P sorry... I'm not the best at all. at anything [04:27] I suggest using them both and making your decision [04:27] do I need a swap partition to use hibernate? [04:28] new2Ubuntu: oo, quite smalll then [04:28] user123: dont forget to run in a terminal "sudo update-grub" or the changes won't take effect [04:28] either/or really [04:28] remix, if you find that fedora is easy to use then use it. if you you want to try something easier maybe try ubuntu and then see which one you like better [04:28] remix: You can try Ubuntu from a LiveCD if you'd like to try it out [04:28] yes [04:28] omg it works :DD [04:28] they rape those who live in the mountains with our satellite internet [04:28] new2Ubuntu, would a swap file work? [04:28] hattoricaca, thank you [04:28] iflema, hopefully then you may know how to fix problems related with the card without inducing tears and/or suicide [04:28] new2Ubuntu: least you can boot ubu-studio live and get it's working sources.list [04:28] np [04:28] new2Ubuntu, that's really not appropriate [04:28] hsafir tears... lol [04:29] MHz128 - I don't know what swaping does or is [04:29] elky - what's not appropriate? [04:29] is there a way to upgrade ubuntu from jaunty to the latest version without update-manager? it's broken [04:29] is there anyway to make a gnome menu that just shows the Places submenu, theres an applet for it in XFCE but there doesnt seem to be one for gnome, any ideas anyone? [04:29] hsafir i got (vev 01) you (rev 02) [04:29] yes [04:29] punto [04:29] new2Ubuntu, using the word "rape" in that manner [04:29] new2Ubuntu: The word R4P3 [04:29] MHz128 I'm not sure if you need a swap partition for hibernation, but I know if you've got enough RAM you don't need that partition at all [04:29] how do I connect to empathy jabber service from windows? [04:30] brandon-: submenu ? like drives listed there ? [04:30] Darkseid: how? [04:30] phirestalker, ask in the windows channel? [04:30] dasei i mean the menu that says Places [04:30] talented: You need swap for suspend/hibernation but you don't need swap partition if you don't actively use them. [04:30] from the gnome menu [04:30] phirestalker: ##windows [04:30] but just that single menu [04:30] I think theres a program called spark [04:30] hsafir sorry but... speakers test, try headphones... mute? [04:30] talented, but they wouldn't know about empathy [04:31] maybe... does anyone know how to setup lighttpd with sqlite and php? [04:31] unfortunately i dont have headphones around... its not on mute [04:31] they should know jabber though, you don't need to tell them the client :P [04:31] brandon-: I still don't understamd; you haven't got it in gnome ? [04:31] DasEi: brandon- wanted to know if it is possible to add solely "Places" only applet on the panel. [04:31] ive done all of the tests in system preferences sound [04:31] no its there, i just wanna make a seperate menu button that only shows the places menu [04:31] theres an applet for it for XFCE [04:31] kinja-sheep, well that should answer the question, guess there's no suspend to ram yet [04:31] hsafir boot a live cd... does sound work there. [04:31] and gnome applets work in XFCE - is it safe to assume that XFCE applets work in gnome? [04:31] dont have a cd drive [04:31] punto sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [04:31] just a netbook [04:31] hsafir usb live image [04:32] Elky: - Transative Verb usage for rape - :pillage or plunder - ie the internet provider plunders my bank account - usage is correct sorry if you're offended by your ignorance of the english language - even sorrier if it's your native toungue [04:32] System /Administration / USB startup disk creator [04:32] i dont think i even have one of those [04:32] and i certainly dont have that in my menu [04:32] i am apartment sitting [04:32] i will try to find some headphones [04:32] DasEi: so is it a relatively simple procedure to throw the Ubu-studio disk in the drive and restart and get the sources.list file I need [04:32] brandon-: they use different libs and you get a overhead there, but you can try if space is not an issue, as you can remove it again, if things mess up [04:32] somewhere [04:32] pdg1: why not apache? [04:33] hsafir yeah good 8.04 [04:33] and maybe a flash drive [04:33] new2Ubuntu, i'll explain in PM to you as talking about assault here is upsetting to some people [04:33] Darkseid: but that just gets me the newest version of everything in my repository, doesn't it? [04:33] Darkseid: I want it to switch to the newer one [04:33] kameleon something [04:33] was just hoping for an easy way to do it DasEi [04:33] i love xfce and i love gnome [04:33] i just love gnome more [04:33] new2Ubuntu: as it's liveable, yes, mount the hd and 'sudo cp' it over [04:33] its only missing this one feature [04:34] !enter | brandon- [04:34] brandon-: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

[04:38] i hit enter a few times instead of using a comma, my bad no need to mute me [04:38] o.k. so I should just wait to get that in the mail and then install all the video and audio aps that came w ubuntu studio? [04:38] couldve just asked me to stop [04:38] punto: hello. you need to edit your /etc/apt/sources.list file first. i recommend making a backup of your current one [04:38] sorry flannel [04:38] I did, you chose to swear [04:38] i will try to do so in the future [04:38] and not follow the rules [04:38] hattoricaca, ir didn't work, it only shows a conuntdown [04:38] see how flannel did it, asked me politely and didnt sick a bot on me [04:38] i will honor his wishes [04:38] brandon-: thank you [04:38] and i apoligize [04:38] try this. sudo apt-get remove update-manager && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install update-manager [04:39] brandon-: Regardless of how you feel treated, there's no reason to attack anyone. === dabossbv1 is now known as dabossbv [04:39] punto: you're running Jaunty right now? [04:39] he attacked me with a bot, that was my defense mechanism [04:39] i will try not to do it again [04:39] Is there any command to delete or remove a keyboard layout in Ubuntu? [04:39] onetinsoldier: yeah [04:39] ok doesnt work anymore [04:39] out of respect for you flannel, since you helped me fix my pc a few weeks ago when nobody else tried to help me [04:39] onetinsoldier: 9.04 [04:39] sargento I am outta ideas on that one, sorry [04:39] hsafir latop? [04:39] yeah [04:39] hsafir laptop? [04:40] sargento: sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup [04:40] it worked without anything happening [04:40] punto: roger. run a sed command to make your new sources.list file... hang on a sec [04:40] and stopped working without anything happening [04:40] Thanks a lot anyway, thanks for trying. [04:40] I just did that [04:40] hsafir ok [04:40] user123: i'm sorry, didn't you wanted a delay? maybe i didn't understood correctly [04:40] hattoricaca, would you say apache has more resources / is easier to setup ? I'm not making a monster webserver... it's just for internal user [04:40] is there a log i could look at [04:40] sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and do a find and replace on jaunty to karmic [04:40] hsafir so it worked agin... you touched nothing.... then it stop... all by itself??? [04:40] yes [04:41] update-manager-code [04:41] then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [04:41] hsafir ok [04:41] sorry, wrong terminal [04:41] hattoricaca, well, yes, thats what I thought the problem was, but now I see it isnt [04:41] brandon-: back on the sunny beach, alacarte lets you set lot's of menu options in gnome [04:41] Is there a list of ALL sudo commands somewhere on the net - I'm sure there is... [04:41] ok dasei ill try that out [04:41] new2ubuntu [04:41] DasEi, My mother uses my PC, so I need to do it without configuring. I was planning to add an initial script to remove it. Also that's why GUI solution is not for me. [04:41] punto: on the command line cd to your "/etc/apt" directory [04:41] !sudo | new2Ubuntu [04:41] new2Ubuntu: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [04:42] hi, i cannot seem to be able to access computers on my network that use windows, i have samba set up and i checked to make sure that the workgroup is the same ... [04:42] sargento: that was a bash command [04:42] new2Ubuntu: If some commands didn't work for you, add "sudo" before it to invoke authority privilege. [04:42] pdg1: i use apache semi regularly, and to me it's easy to setup, maybe in some configs it can eat some resources, i couldn't say it's a whale either. you can disable all the extensions you don't use [04:42] err alacarte is what i use when i click Edit Menus when right clicking on the degfault gnome menu, it does what i need it to do but it applies it to all menus instead of just one instance of it Dasei [04:42] onetinsoldier: are you saying I should switch to the karmic repositories and do dist-upgrade? [04:42] I wouldn't want to let google be a nazi and rape all my valuable and delegated searching minutes by giving me niggardly responses [04:42] or apt-get upgrade [04:42] yes [04:42] Is there a way to set up Karmic so it doesn't require a password to unlock after a suspend? [04:42] user123: then what is it? [04:43] and yes that was for elky [04:43] brandon-: You could try and use xfce4-panel? [04:43] new2ubuntu: of course not new ones are invented every day [04:43] brandon-: whats the name of the xfce applet ? [04:43] i just switched back from xfce kinja [04:43] i think that setting is in the screensaver settings of gnome [04:43] punto: yes. you can do it quickly with a sed command [04:43] hsafir in terminal type uname -r [04:43] or do you mean using the xfce panel while in gnome? [04:43] sed... old schooler [04:43] GentooJay, yeah, it isn't set there. There has to b something else. [04:43] gedit find and replace [04:43] ;) [04:43] brandon-: I understand that but the great thing about it is that you could run just about anything. (Yes, that is what I mean by that). [04:43] hattoricaca, well, I am not familiar with grub2. I cannot see the screen with the options where I can select the OS and boot it [04:43] iflema, 2.6.24-24-lpia [04:44] ill give that a shot kinja, thanks for the suggestion [04:44] punto: you'll want to use dist-upgrade [04:44] hsafir so have you updated online lately? [04:44] no [04:44] hsafir is there a reason for that? [04:44] brandon-: "aptitude install -yRs xfce4-places-plugin" (-R for eliminating recommends). [04:44] i already got all that installed, i just gotta run it [04:44] is there anything to improve the performance on my notebook with intel gma 965 (x3100)? [04:45] and ubuntu 9.10 [04:45] because i have not seen any updates very recently [04:45] i still have xfce installed, i just need to run xfce4-panel im guessing [04:45] what kind of performance? [04:45] brandon-: Won't hurt to try. :) [04:45] overall, 3D, disk, etc? [04:45] hsafir thats a good thing [04:45] Is there a way to ensure that a wireless connection is automatically activated, even before a user logs in? [04:45] Darkseid, linux is running slower than windows [04:45] DasEi, yeap, sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup is a bash command but need configuration and my mom is not good enough doing that yet, so I need the solution to be "transparent" to her. [04:45] the graphic card [04:45] iflema, as far as running 8.04, that is because dell manages my updates, and i didnt want to cause trouble by moving to nonlts [04:46] well thats not good [04:46] hattoricaca, well I think I've already got lighttpd and php5 so instead of using wtorrent which supposedly needs sqlite aswell I'm going to use rutorrent which only uses php. but not before I make a grilled cheese sandwhich! :D [04:46] kinja seems to be working pretty good [04:46] so are you talkinh about overall performance or graphics performance? [04:46] brandon-: Great. You could use Gnome panel on top and XFCE panel on bottom then. I don't know why I didn't thought of that yesterday. :o [04:46] user123: i'm not very familiar with grub2 either, i'm used to grub1. run the gsku gedit /etc/default/grub again to check if all is in order [04:47] give me some examples of slow [04:47] !ide [04:47] Programming editors/suites: Terminal-based: vi/vim, emacs - KDE: Kate, KDevelop, Quanta+, Umbrello - GNOME: gvim, gedit, anjuta, pida, monodevelop, geany - Others: eclipse, netbeans, QtCreator [04:47] it would be helpful [04:47] pdg1: too bad i can't dl some of those from your website :( i'm starving here [04:47] Hey, having some issues with Display Preferences [04:47] iflema, any idea? [04:48] Is anyone else having trouble with OpenOffice.org *not* using the system menu font (in GNOME) when it is set to? [04:48] sargento: then edit /etc/default/console-setup (for karmic) [04:48] hi, i cannot seem to be able to access computers on my network that use windows, i have samba set up and i checked to make sure that the workgroup is the same ... [04:49] hattoricaca, Yeah, I already did this but everything seems to be fine [04:49] sargento: why don't you just ssh in ond do the maintenance then ? [04:49] Yesterday before going to bed, I shut my second display off in Display Preferences with the radio button, and then clicked apply.. screen shut off. Now, When I try to click the on radio button, and click apply, it says the settings couldnt be applied [04:49] If I try it again, my main screen will go black and i'll have to reboot [04:49] hackel: Don't worry about the fonts. Just do your homework. :P [04:49] DasEi, I don't know what is ond [04:49] RxDx can you give me some examples of slowness? [04:50] kinja-sheep: Hard to do when you can barely read the menus. [04:50] sargento: so another good reason for ssh, I assume she's wiredd [04:50] user123: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 says the menu won't show unless GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT is commented with a # character at the beginning of the line [04:50] wired* [04:50] user123:press shift once grubs loads [04:51] hackel: canthus13: I was just thinking that. :> [04:51] hackel: Err. I mean this. http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Openoffice#Font_substitution [04:51] kinja-sheep: Eh? [04:51] ok so much for the slowness thing [04:52] audio randomly started and started again.... [04:52] canthus13: XChat copies random mouse highlights [04:52] how long does mkfs.ext3 usually take on a 1 TB partition? [04:52] kinja-sheep: Heh. [04:52] he either fell asleep or his PC is so slow he out typed the buffer [04:52] canthus13: And yes, I was just thinking that. :3 [04:53] hackel: Let me know how it goes for you. [04:53] hsafir no idea... did you say you have tried @ the ubuntu forums/wiki.. keep asking here [04:53] tonsofpcs not too long usually lomg enough to finish [04:53] doh! [04:53] yeah [04:53] i think maybe its a hardware problem [04:53] hola [04:53] DasEi, I'm using Karmic, but every time I started up my PC I have to remove English layout to use Spanish. I do this everytime I start up and become frustrating. I need to find a command line to remove English layout when I start up my PC. in console-setup I couldn't find any clue on it. [04:54] tends to happen more when the computer is moved [04:54] hsafir u may be onto something..... external amp.. or built in speakers [04:54] hi. How would I determine if my swap space is encrypted ?? (Hibernation won't resume and I'm wondering if that's why ) [04:55] try reading it? [04:55] yeah... when i close the lid three quarters there are no problems [04:55] lol [04:55] sargento: thats a differnt story; system > settings > console [04:55] !lol | iflema [04:55] iflema: 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. [04:55] kinja-sheep: I don't need to substitute any fonts. I just need it to use the right DPI value for my display. [04:57] zomg !lol urself :-p [ok, I'm back now] [04:57] i tought that "lol" was an IRC expression [04:57] how do you install sync for windows ce devices? [04:57] hsafir gently shake... does it drop in and out with physical stymuli? [04:57] thats when IRC was cool and not a geek thing [04:58] now it is reserved to those who dont use AIM or Facebook [04:58] lol [04:58] (sorry) [04:58] sargento: ah, you share the same pc with your mother and want an easy to use switching ? I got you so she's remote, needs that change [04:58] iflema, only when i open the lid all the way, then the subtle movements make the lid close just enough to turn it on and open just enough to mute [04:59] a;ldkfjd;kl;j;sdlkf [04:59] your keyboard works [04:59] yea [05:00] lol, the problem, is basically solved. cant open the screen all the way... if it gets worse i'll have to get the wiring repaired [05:00] see that [05:00] hattoricaca: nah, aol chat [05:00] around '94ish [05:00] DasEi, Nop, we use the same computer, I can easily switch my keyboard layout but she's not good enough to do that. I need a single command line to add or remove English layout, one command to look for will be excellent. [05:00] this whole time you thought it was Ubuntu and it turned out to be the hardware [05:00] i was so upset this was my first "ubuntu" issue in a year of having an ubuntu netbook from dell [05:00] remember the only time you blame the OS is when it is Windows [05:00] and it is hardware :( [05:00] i feel like rebelling now.... [05:01] Does anybody know the name of "Sans" fonts and the font path? I can't find anything in /usr/share/fonts [05:01] tonsofpcs: (and i know i'll get the OT stuff) i can recall reading it on bbs chats (what an old man i am) [05:01] #list [05:01] sargento: well, the gui is really easy.. you could have two files in /etc/default, then use a mv command to set the actual desired one; seems more complicated to me [05:01] i made some links to folders in my Home directory onto my desktop...is there a way to get the red arrow off the icon? [05:01] i can still recommend ubuntu as a system i dont have problems with... [05:01] hattoricaca: as can I, after it appeared in aol chats [05:01] two things in ubuntu, how do you change the pc name graphically (besides editting /etc/hostname) and how do you change the accerlation of the mouse wheel [05:02] i'm not saying it wasn't pervasive, just saying that's wehre i saw it start [05:02] !hostname | icedtea [05:02] icedtea: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. [05:02] i'd bet it actually was a compuserv move-over too [05:02] *tips hat* [05:02] icedtea: This is one way but it sure is not graphical. [05:02] or maybe... prodigy.... [05:02] idk, only had prodigy for a month or so, compuserv for a week, before those it was spry net, after those it was aol... [05:03] mind you, i'm a kid ;) [05:03] I seem to be missing the "networking" admin tool where you can change the pc name [05:03] DasEi, maybe I cannot make myself clear, sorry about that. Do you know any command I could use to manipulate keyboard layouts only with parameters and not with the need to configure it graphically? [05:03] /etc/hostname i think for unbuntu icedtea [05:03] or /etc/conf.d/hostname [05:03] My brother is trying to get Freedoom to work, It seems to randomly exit, I got some Terminal output: "Exiting on signal 8" Can someone tell me what "Signal 8" IS? [05:03] ok, nevermind, I patched the broken update script [05:03] icedtea: Graphical? "gksudo gedit /etc/hostname /etc/hosts" :( [05:04] icedtea: "sudo vi /etc/hostname" [05:05] does anyone knwo what the backtrack channel is called [05:05] hrm... just added a new internal hdd, how can i add it to fstab based on fs id like the existing mounts? [05:05] cobra679: #remote-exploits [05:05] bt3, i think [05:05] elky: Hey this guy called new [05:05] sargento: keyboard is controlled by conf-files. of course you can either use different ones from trml - or even worse, alter them with commands [05:05] cobra679: No s at end. [05:05] can i disable password access to a specific account in ssh so that it only take key authentications but without disabling passwords completely? i want to still use passwords for other accounts [05:05] elky: 2Ubuntu says u banned him [05:05] Hi. I'm having trouble with my touchpad and the touchpad preferences app doing not much to help. I would appreciate your feedback. [05:05] known bug when using prboom [05:06] blueberryoam_, that would be because he was breaking the channel rules. the ones linked in the /topic. [05:06] thanks kinja-sheep [05:06] daqkho [05:06] gentoo vi? [05:06] Hilikus: yes [05:06] omg you like punishing people dont ya? [05:06] hm? [05:07] My IBM Thinkpad T42 does not wake up (thaw) from hibernation. It reports: "Waking up. Please wait...". The Caps lock indicator keeps blinking. This is so only since I installed Ubuntu 9.10 from the Ubuntu 9.10 Desktop Editon CD keeping my old ~/home. Against what DEB program package do I have to report this bug in Launchpad? [05:07] pico is your friend [05:07] oh.. its like second nature to me [05:07] is Xfce part of ubuntu ? [05:07] Darkseid: it's nano, actually. But yes [05:07] elky: Enlish isn't his first language [05:07] Thanks DasEi, I suppose there is not safe way to do what I planned. [05:07] Hilikus: /etc/ssh/sshd_config [05:07] cobra679: XFCE is a Desktop Environment, like Gnome or KDE. [05:07] When I started working at the place I work now, I was using nano, and got made fun of so bad, switched to vi immediately [05:08] cool thanks DasEi [05:08] vi is evil [05:08] see [05:08] I just downloaded it kinja-sheep its looking pretty nice [05:08] I like vi [05:08] I don't really know how to use it [05:08] I know how to quit [05:08] and how to do basic editing [05:08] but it works [05:08] vi is E"vi"l [05:08] anyone know how ot remove the red arrows from the links of folders you create on a desktop? [05:08] vi is AWESOME once you can use it without thinking [05:08] blueberryoam_, get him to read the rules linked in the /topic here. he'll learn what to do then. [05:08] Darkseid: vi is useful for programmings. You want nano, I think. [05:08] and it is everywhere [05:09] give it a shot for a while, its very useful [05:09] sargento: easiest appraoch would be two files in ../default, like span and en , then can do : sudo mv span console-setup ( in that dir or with path) [05:10] I have used vi for too long [05:10] Darkseid, just do sudo apt-get install joe joe is an editor that will display all the control keys with CTRL+k h (help) [05:10] and just found that nano/pico to be way easier [05:11] DasEi, Thanks, I sleep on it. [05:11] DasEi, Good Night. [05:11] anyone know if pspad works with wine? === inaequitas is now known as alexandru [05:11] np, too late here (6 am) [05:12] johnd: what is pspad ? [05:12] johnd, look on #winehq or winehq.com [05:12] while booting My /home partition is not mounted it gives some errors.... why? [05:12] DasEi, sorry, LOL, I'm in Mexico. Bye. [05:12] np [05:12] just a windows editor [05:12] bullguard confirm swap is larger that physical ram [05:12] gui [05:12] hello everyone [05:12] vasan first thing I would check is the fstab to make sure it is correct [05:13] well [05:13] time for bed.. wife inbound [05:13] johnd : check wine-db for it , see : [05:13] !wine [05:13] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [05:13] good night folks [05:13] is there a way to make it so you dont have to enter your sudo password and is it safe as long as you only do that while on a LAN? [05:13] !AppDB > johnd [05:13] johnd, please see my private message [05:13] infid: try --> sudo -i [05:13] hey [05:13] it says run fsck... if i run it gives some errors.... can i paste the log messages [05:13] onetinsoldier: that's not what i want though [05:13] if i rename /etc to some other name where else i need to edit so that system boots properly? [05:14] is there a way to set a usb device to only work under one ttyacm ? [05:14] infid: oh, sorry m8 [05:14] onetinsoldier: i want to type 'sudo foo' without entering a password, ever [05:14] I probably wouldnt do that [05:14] infid: i see [05:14] chipgeri: bad idea [05:14] hey [05:14] <_ged> hi, i have a problem regarding my flash drive, when I'm using my flash on my pc, the flash drive has been detected and when it automatically opens, it says that I do not have the permission to open that, I've checked the previleges of my account but I still got the same error, I have tried to use this on other computer and I dont get that kind of error. [05:14] !paste | vasan [05:14] vasan: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://ubuntu.pastebin.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic [05:14] infid: few questions in one .. 1) sudo itself lasts for 15 min per deault .. [05:14] amazing how quiet the ubuntu server room is [05:15] anyone in here running an ubuntu web server by chance? [05:15] <_ged> what is the format of the flash drive.. [05:15] infid: on a halfaway secured machine, you can be root, other LAN users will have no access [05:15] kinda sorta, whats up? [05:15] Pls check this link http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m4cb578c1 [05:15] i had a device communicate with ttyacm0, but after i reconnected it, it no longer connects to that acm0 (i dont even kno what acm is :| ) [05:15] Anyone know how to get wince device to show up in ubuntu in a easy and fast method? [05:15] i know its a bad idea..i wanted to know which file ll have hese booting sequence entries.. [05:16] well this is my first web server at home for a site im gonna try to run...just lookin for a little advice/help maybe [05:16] chipgeri: um, that's /etc's job [05:16] infid: you can also work as root, but only if you know what you are doing [05:16] bullguard https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-bugsquad/2009-November/001641.html [05:16] chipgeri: and "look in /etc for your files" is something that's generally compiled into the programs [05:16] sure thing, ask away :) [05:16] chipgeri: so i guess if you were to recompile everything, editing all the compile-time paths.... [05:17] chipgeri: basically, if you have to ask...you shouldn't do it [05:17] so currently running Interpid Ibex... can I distup straight to Karmic or should i stairstep? [05:17] Seaphor: Did u check ?? [05:17] ok sofar i have gotten this far...i have installed server/ ran update and upgrade and installed dnsutils [05:17] tonsofpcs: stairstep [05:17] tonsofpcs: stair or fresh [05:17] k [05:17] fresh is best [05:17] im not sure if i should host my own dns or depend on a service like DynDNS.org to do it for me [05:17] ok, so you have apache installed then? [05:17] yea, can't fresh this box [05:17] roger [05:17] tonsofpcs: fresh will befaster, though selections /data might get lost [05:17] i'm taking it down for a day, that's more than i should be [05:18] yes during install i installed apache2/openSSh/DNS/LAMP [05:18] fresh is only faster if i want to lose everything [05:18] oh and samba as well [05:18] tonsofpcs: you could backup /home [05:18] I would have dyndns do it personally thats what I do, less traffic.. [05:18] vasan, what cmd did you use to get that? [05:18] DasEi: /home isn't everything. [05:18] i renamed etc to etc1 and rebooted...now how to rename it back to etc? any option in grub to edit? [05:19] What is the name of the package that installs Ubuntu 9.10 from the Desktop Edition? [05:19] <_ged> GentooJay: the filesystem type is msdos [05:19] tonsofpcs: selections, yes, but can get a paket list [05:19] chipgeri: grub isnt an OS, so grub cant do that. you're going to need to boot off of a live cd to recover [05:19] yeah i was thinking dyndns being my first server [05:19] I'm having trouble getting a wacom tablet to work with ubuntu would this be the right place to ask for help or am I going to get told I'm off topic? [05:19] SeaPhor: when i run fsck command ... i got this error [05:19] <_ged> ok? fat32? ntfs? [05:19] fsckyou [05:19] SeaPhor: fsck /dev/sda6 [05:19] so essentially what would be my next step GentooJay? [05:20] cant it be done without live cd? i dont have live cd [05:20] princezuda, what connection interface is your wacom tablet? [05:20] then do fsck --help and look for fix,,,, prolly -f [05:20] chipgeri: do you have an alternate cd you can boot from, then? [05:20] bullgard: ubuntu-desktop ? [05:20] I would just setup a dns server if you were going to have like a bunch of vhosts or something [05:20] chipgeri: you're going to need to boot from something capable of mounting linux filesystems [05:20] chipgeri: because no way that system is booting til you fix it [05:20] talented: my connection interface is USB. [05:20] im only planning on running 1 site from this box...maybe 2 eventually but until i get use to maintaining my own server just the 1 [05:21] I know there is a DynDNS client for Debian, i'm sure there is one for ubuntu [05:21] also vasan do this for ease... sudo apt-get install pastebinit [05:21] i just installed ubuntu 9.10 on my notebook, but the graphic performance is worst than windows.... i have an intel gma 965 (x3100) [05:21] princezuda, when you plug it in what does "dmesg | tail" output? [05:21] samba seems to be working..i can see my server on my win7 laptop [05:21] sign up for an account, and then if you buy a .com you can just forward your domain to the dyndns account [05:21] kinja-sheep: I don't think so. [05:21] yeah i already have the domain [05:21] RxDx, turn off the effects... [05:21] seaphor: Did u check my Log messages??? [05:22] talented: I don't know that command I ran more on it but it is as if it doesn't even exist to ubuntu. [05:22] bullgard: What is it that you are looking for? ubuntu-desktop is the metapackage that will install all packages to make up a complete Ubuntu 9.10 desktop. [05:22] NDNWebmaster: ianadyn did fine for me [05:22] vasan, then do fsck --help and look for fix,,,, prolly -f [05:22] thanks Das [05:22] just do dmesg then? [05:22] ABoba, i did it.. performance is slower than on windows... [05:22] file operation to usb is very slow [05:22] "you can try to add "root=foobar" to grub options line at boottime. it should throw you into a initranfs-shell" this was suggested by somebody... [05:22] NDNWebmaster: inadyn it is [05:23] RxDx if it's slower than windows, you're doing something wrong [05:23] ola [05:23] Ubuntu is wayyy faster than windows!! [05:23] Seaphor: I have installed pastebinit package [05:23] Well, samba usually has netbios functionality build into it [05:23] tengo una duda [05:23] ABoba, is there anyone to open the graphic card configuration screen? [05:23] NDNWebmaster: if you want alternatives : apt-cache search dyndns [05:23] elguien en español [05:23] !es [05:23] En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [05:23] RxDx not like windows no [05:24] did you do fsck -f /dev/sdax ? [05:24] princezuda, ubuntu is faster.. but the graphic elements is slower [05:24] gerax: uno momento [05:24] RxDx: there is if you have an Nvidia card, but not for integrated intel [05:24] did you do fsck -f /dev/sdax ? vasan [05:24] ABoba, u mean.. the only way is editing xorg.conf? [05:24] RxDx: Are you sure you have compiz effects turned off? [05:24] SeaPhor: ok now i run [05:24] RxDx: there is a way to change resolution through a gui [05:24] ABoba, some of them is on... [05:24] ok so I have my DynDNS account setup [05:24] RxDx: Do you have xserver-xorg-video-intel installed? [05:24] RxDx: that's your problem, Compiz is like Vista, you need good hardware [05:25] kinja-sheep, let me check [05:25] aqui es donde se va a dar seguimiento al dia del usuario de ubuntu?? [05:25] there is a DynDNS client, I used one for debian, theres gotta be one for ubuntu [05:25] RxDx: and by good hardware I mean a non-generic intel graphics chipset [05:25] princezuda, have you installed wacom-tools & xserver-xorg-input-wacom? [05:25] so where should i search for that? on the dyndns site? [05:25] its super easy you just load your account/password and updates the IP for you [05:26] apt should have it [05:26] !es | gerax [05:26] gerax: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [05:26] ABoba: Wrong, compiz run on far less [05:26] so apt search dyndns? [05:26] yeah [05:26] gerax: Sé un poco español [05:26] NDNWebmaster: apt-cache search [05:26] soreau: Far less than an intel card? or far less than vista (which is correct) [05:27] NDNWebmaster: apt-cache show for more details [05:27] soreau: I was just making it simple for him [05:27] NDNWebmaster: apt-cache show inadyn [05:27] talented: No I haven't installed anything yet since the guide says you should make the changes to your kernel first. [05:27] ABoba: Doesn't matter. The fact remains true [05:27] yeah there is one for dyndns called ipcheck [05:27] what version of ubuntu you using? [05:27] ABoba: You're misleading him [05:27] NDNWebmaster hmm I just searched on ubuntu's website and I dont see it [05:28] I have a problem, My sound keeps reseting to zero [05:28] the latest version. [05:28] soreau: I've got an integrated Nvidia chipset and I still run with compiz off... just to make things easier [05:28] .17.0 I believe. [05:28] Awesome3000, r u on a notebook? [05:28] I forget the first number. [05:28] ABoba: That's because nvidia sucks [05:28] NDNWebmaster http://packages.debian.org/lenny/ddclient this is what I used for a while [05:28] soreau: I'm helping him solve his problem, not teaching him how linux functions with regards to graphics [05:28] RxDx No a desktop [05:28] my notebook sound light is bugged [05:28] sometimes it turns down [05:29] soreau: So ati is the only way to go then? [05:29] talented: I think the newest version is 10.3.17.0 isn't it? [05:29] c [05:29] them it lights up again [05:29] bahaha i typed in ipcheck just to see what would happen and it gave me a huge listing of stuff [05:29] I have a question about the preferred applications...is there a way to make the thunderbird I compiled the mail reader in gnome without using the Custom Settings? It seems if I install thunderbird, I get thunderbird as an option. Can I make a ln somewhere so that Preferred Applications will see it and add Thunderbird as a straightup option? [05:29] ABoba: ATI is a great investment for linux graphics, yes [05:29] is it totally taboo to run a gui? [05:29] why does my whole computer run slow when a process is accessing my usb hd in the background? [05:29] I'm only using Karmic 9.10 at the moment [05:29] anyone know if its possible to fix a usb device to a specific ttyacm ? [05:29] kinja-sheep: I have now found out the proper answer: It is "linux". -- Thank you. [05:29] but no kernel changes are required, just install those packages, then in certain programs you'll need to configure extended input devices [05:29] I don't want to come off at elitest, but yes kind of [05:30] i have something on ttyacm0 that i want it to always be on ttyacm0 [05:30] soreau: I've got no problems running games on my Nvidia graphics card in Linux [05:30] you want to be able to manage like 100% of it via ssh [05:30] bullgard: o.O (What was the question?) [05:30] SeaPhor: I got the same error msg [05:30] and i am guessing with a gui it throws ssh out of the mix? [05:31] ssh will give you remote access to the terminal [05:31] talented: honest to goodness I'm a newbie with ubuntu. I only use it for dev. reasons but I really need my wacom pad. DO you reccomend I download those files you mentioned first? [05:31] princezuda, yes [05:31] then restart, and then plug it in [05:31] so if you plan on doing remote administration, gui is out of the question, unless you setup something like vnc wich can be very unsecure [05:31] iflema: Indeed: swap is much larger than physical RAM. I did partition this computer so. === ripps is now known as ripps|sleep [05:31] then open up something like gimp and configure the extended input devices [05:32] princezuda: In Windows, you download programs. In linux, we download packages. [05:32] use this: http://packages.debian.org/lenny/ddclient [05:32] !away > ripps|sleep [05:32] ripps|sleep, please see my private message [05:32] I think it uses ncurses which is almost a gui [05:32] iflema: Thank you for pointing me to the proper bug report which already exists. [05:33] kinja-sheep: Okay sorry for the wrong terminology. [05:33] princezuda, just a simple sudo aptitude install ... and those package names should do [05:33] talented: Okay will do. [05:33] if you don't know them, just sudo aptitude search wacom and it should show only 2 packages [05:33] ok reading through that now [05:33] GentooJay: ssh way to go, though can fw X (gui) [05:33] princezuda: Oh it is fine. I only wanted to point it out that it is the way to install *anything* we need. Be it a firefox or DVD-ripping or wacom tools. :) [05:34] for the most part i will be managing everything at home so im not sure if i will need SSH [05:34] SSH is the best, any sort of remote desktop is going to slow you down like crazy and put uneeded strain on the server [05:35] aw, but you then can't remote into it from wherever you are and screw around with it [05:35] GentooJay: right, and webmin isn't supported no more [05:35] Secure connections put a bit of strain on you too [05:35] I spend a lot of time screwing with my home server at work ;) [05:35] hehe [05:35] yeah i may do that as well [05:36] so since i installed SSH it should just work? or is there more config to it than that? [05:36] Personally, I wouldn't run X on it if you don't have to [05:36] hi guys I was hoping I could get some help regarding file permissions, I appoligise for the inconviniance as it should be an easy one, but Im still a novice user and am learning my way around linux day by day. I have done exctensive reaserch before comming here and I seem to be missing somthing, because I just cant get it to work. I installed a ubuntu 8.04 Hardy LAMP via proxmox with the hope of running joomla but installing via proxmox it only gave me roo [05:37] dunno the config file is pretty straight forward, /etc/ssh/ssh_config [05:37] When i ran fsck i got the following errors... pls check in http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m4cb578c1 [05:37] and of course you need to start it sudo /etc/init.d/sshd start [05:37] NDNWebmaster: if you go ahead with a project like that, got to read some more and ask if got stuck, no one will be willing to take you all the way;; have a look in the given topic, read harden linux, ssh is /etc/ssh/sshd_config [05:38] anyone knows how can I format a usb external memory in NTFS format? [05:38] I applaud you though, setting up a server is by far the best way to really learn linux IMO [05:38] Could someone tell me where I would start in writting a script to force quit the currently selected Window upon a certain key press? (ALT+F4) [05:39] user123 what do you mean by 'usb external memory' ? [05:39] just kill -9 the pid [05:39] Awesome3000, usb flashdrive [05:39] Anyone familiar with difference between SOAP + WSDL ?? [05:39] thanks Gentoo [05:39] user123 So starage not memory [05:39] Darkedge: xkill (is easy and is great. no script). [05:39] kinja-sheep: xkill? [05:40] Darkedge: Open a terminal. "xkill" -- Select the window you want to kill. [05:40] im a web developer by trade and normally we have everything remote hosted...but im doing this on my own to learn more [05:40] Awesome3000, ok, how can I format it to NTFS? [05:40] kinja-sheep: oh, No I want it for a keypress [05:40] GentooJay: yeah, but I want it on a keypress, not a Terminal. [05:40] :P [05:41] user123 Why do you want it formated as NTFS [05:41] I setup a Debian Web Server a long time ago, and there was no turning back from there, loved it eversince, now I'm an admin a webhosting company [05:41] Darkedge: Install compizconfig-settings-manager -- It have the option to remap the keyboard actions to the scripts. [05:41] Awesome3000, I need this format to store files greater than 4gbs [05:41] Darkedge: Of course, make the script first. [05:42] hi!! [05:42] kinja-sheep: haha my computers horrible with Compiz [05:43] vasan, 1 sec... [05:43] Anyone knows how can I format an external usb flashdrive to NTFS format? [05:43] talented: GAH I did the tail command and I get back a lot of foriegn info to me. I don't see the words wacom anywhere. [05:43] user123: use gparte [05:43] d* [05:44] SeaPhor: ok [05:44] princezuda: add |grep wacom to that tail cmd [05:44] vasan, can you do sudo pastebinit /etc/fstab ? [05:44] honestly, use windows [05:44] user123 Ubuntu can format it as ext3 [05:45] kinja-sheep: =/ I can't think of where I would START with a script, any ideas? [05:45] princezuda: like tail blah | grep wacom [05:45] sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/your pen drive [05:45] SeaPhor: i did [05:45] Darkedge: Meh? Start it in gedit. :o [05:45] user123: have you tried 'gnome-format'¿¿ i think you can also do it eith gparted [05:45] SeaPhor: http://pastebin.com/f4563c2bc [05:45] Awesome3000, that is not what I asked [05:45] Dasei: Okay I'm trying that. [05:46] parted,gparted, mkfs, gnome.format.. [05:46] SeaPhor: i am using VirtualBox also [05:46] user123 install ntfs progs and use mkfs.ntfs if you must format it ntfs... recommend yaformat vfat to do this use mkdosfs [05:46] Hes trying to format his drive to NTFS.. [05:46] honestly man, if you can use winodws just do that [05:46] to format a drive to ntfs.. really not the most open file system in the world [05:46] GentooJay: ;-)heh, get a copy ow win7 for that, hehe === jon is now known as Guest7357 [05:47] Darkedge: http://www.linuxcommand.org/writing_shell_scripts.php [05:47] Psh, I'm currrently on my Windows ME box, its super awesome best OS ever [05:48] vasan, is any part of this partition on the VirtualBox ? [05:48] ok where do i go to ask about a problem i am having [05:48] user123 You can use Gparted http://gparted.sourceforge.net/ [05:48] GentooJay: we become ot; best os for hosting, nor ??

Does anyone know how to fix this? [05:49] vasan, i have had bad luck with VirtualBox,,, i use VMware... [05:49] !ot > GentooJay , nvm :) [05:49] GentooJay, please see my private message [05:49] kinja-sheep: haha sorry im just really confused, I know how to do it XD [05:49] SeaPhor: Whats the reason for these msgs?? [05:50] hi [05:50] My bad, heh [05:50] !hi | Hi Marshall [05:50] Hi Marshall: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines . Enjoy your stay! [05:50] GentooJay: just join there, so we can chit chat [05:50] hi - how do I burn a (linux-) iso with nero essentials 9 - can't find the menu for burning iso's - was no problem with nero7 but cant find now? [05:51] where to? [05:51] GentooJay: /j #ubuntu-offtopic [05:51] frybye: Look for an option mentioning a cd "image" [05:51] I'm there in 2 shakes [05:51] frybye: That is why we use linux because we're sick of the people's tendency to swap everything around to throw people off. :\ [05:51] frybye: it certainly does; use free gnomebaker [05:51] i've created a folder at /var/svn, and a group called 'devs' and added myself to it. I've changed the group for /var/svn to 'devs' and added write privileges to group on /var/svn. for some reason it says that i dont have permission to create folders in there. any idea why? [05:52] Is it possible to configure xorg video drivers through hal? [05:52] cew sayang [05:52] when i shutdown my computer freezes then [ 666.696302] ipw2200: Failed to send CARD_DISABLE: command timed out.

I have the deb file... just want to uninstall what I just installed [05:52] apt-get remove (packagename) [05:52] frybye: Look up "imgburn" -- It is simple and great! === ceW_cr is now known as ceW [05:52] vasan, if it was on all partitions, and VirtualBox wasn't involved, i'd say there is either a hardware failure or compatibility,, but thats not the case here, its not able to read your filesystem on /home (sda6) properly, and the only thing i can foint at is the VirtualBox stuff.. [05:52] abadabad00: sudo apt-get remove [05:52] undecim: shure - that is what I have spent 20 mins looking for - re: use this or that - I dont have a linux system installed just now... [05:53] talented: I did the aptitude install and have tried several different tail attempts but all fail except for tail /usr/etc/log/messages [05:53] okay, I just installed Debian Lenny on this other computer, and when it booted up, it said the graphical interface wasn't set up right, so it just took me to the command line based main part (i dont remember the technical name) [05:53] *point [05:53] frybye: Can you right-click on the image to open it with nero? [05:53] how should I shut it down and/or setup the graphic interface right [05:53] bleepbloop: try #debian [05:53] undecim: oh - that is an idea - i will check...

Firsttime i had received this msg... i change the hard disk... again same eror msg [05:54] atom_fox, DID YOU INSTALL THE VIDEO DRIVERS? [05:54] abadabad00: ok, if its a deb file, you should be able to use synaptic to remove it [05:54] cew sayang [05:54] atom_fox have you tested your physical ram? [05:54] atom_fox: Are you using ubuntu 9.10 wubi or the real stuff? I used wubi 9.10 and it crashed and burned you need the real stuff. [05:54] marshall - like i said... I don't know the package name. I also can't find it in synaptec package manager [05:54] IT'S REALLY ANNOYING, THAT FOR 3 DAYS MY SYSTEM CAN ONLY RUN FOR 10 MINUTES AND THEN EVENTUALLY FREEZES, IV'E TRIED ALL THE SOLUTIONS FROM GOOGLE BUT NOTHING SEEMS TO SOLVE IT [05:54] bleepbloop try startx to shutdown do shutdown -h now [05:55] hi abadabad00 just issue command dpkg -r do not include brackets [05:55] vasan, EXACT same error? [05:55] s [05:55] atom_fox run a live cd for 3 days..... [05:55] atom_fox is your CPU overheating [05:55] atom_fox, I THINK YOU'VE EITHER GOT A BAD FAN, OR YOU'VE GOT BAD RAM [05:55] I ACTIVATED THE VIDEO DRIVER FROM HARDWARE DRIVERS, ALREADY INSTALLED IT [05:55] Hi, I'm looking for a good guide or a person to help setup an L2TP IPSec VPN server on ubuntu 9.10. [05:55] Awesome3000: just type in 'startx' in the command line? [05:55] MY RAM IS 4GB [05:55] technocp - again, I don't know the 'name of the package'. Its probably not the same as the name of the deb file I installed. [05:55] atom_fox: please turn off your capslock [05:56] atom_fox: WHAT IS YOUR SYSTEM MAKE AND MODEL? I WILL LOOK UP YOUR HARDWARES. [05:56] medan [05:56] atom_fox, stop capsraging or you'll be kicked [05:56] I'm using F80s laptop [05:56] haha [05:56] SeaPhor: I got the same error [05:56] atom_fox test that ram, run a live cd for 3 days..... say puppy linux [05:56] bleepbloop To attempt to start X [05:56] Asus F80s [05:56] what exactly are you trying to remove [05:57] is it ok if I use a live usb? [05:57] atom_fox, have you taken apart your computer lately? Or added anything to your computer? ALSO - are all of the fans running correctly [05:57] when i shutdown my computer freezes then [ 666.696302] ipw2200: Failed to send CARD_DISABLE: command timed out. [666.697002] System halted... any ideas anyone? [05:57] yes atom_fox you really should use a live cd. [05:57] also - if it still freezes on live CD, it's either you CPU or your RAM [05:57] Live USB should work also. [05:57] atom_fox yeah point being try another rig [05:57] cow biasa [05:57] i have created a dns server on ubuntu machine it resolves perfectly from internal network even the nslookup for ms record works perfectly but i am not having the static wan ip so i use dydns can anyone explain portforwarding in my broadband router [05:58] ShazbotMcNasty, yup it's running ok, when I run other OS everything works, when it comes to 9.10 it always freeze [05:58] atom_fox move ya ram sticks... pull afew.... systimatic tests [05:58] so.... I don't know the name of the package this stupid deb file put on my system. Therefore I can't uninstall it? [05:58] vasan, there is some other factor missing here,,,, [05:58] sthames you know what ipw2200 [05:59] is firefox the fastest browser in linux? [05:59] max1234: It is not. [05:59] technocp see http://portforward.com/ [05:59] what is? [05:59] i think it has something to do with my wifi i have googled it repeatedly [05:59] chrome is out for linux [05:59] but you might be knowing what you want to uninstall [05:59] Flannel, if you get a sec, could you look at this and let vasan know whats wrong? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m4cb578c1 [05:59] max1234: Chromium. Opera. Maybe? w3m (terminal). [05:59] iflema, you mean I run a system test for my ram? Should install other video driver besides what ubuntu detected from hardware updates? [05:59] can anyone discuss the dns here [06:00] unreal [06:00] another idiocy of ubuntu and linux [06:00] so unreal is the software that you want to uninstall [06:00] atom_fox: http://leonid.shevtsov.me/installing-ubuntu-9-04-on-asus-f80s/ [06:00] abadabad00: It's easy to figure out. What's the file you want to remove? [06:00] unreal like the game [06:00] or the ircd === fafa is now known as fafa_test [06:01] kinja-sheep, thanks for the help [06:01] you better go to synaptic to try and find unreal [06:01] i mean seriously... I downloaded (supposedly) a gui addon for a turbographx 16 emulator. the filename was kdeaddons-emulation_3.5.3-2_all.deb ... so I assumed it is called kdeaddons or something..... no. of course not. that would be to easy [06:01] or just go to add remove programs and find all the categories for unreal [06:01] the install discs have a ram tester in the boot menu.. in terminal type lspci -v | grep VGA to get ya video card info [06:02] not unreal [06:02] abadabad00: Assuming it follows proper naming, it's kdeaddons-emulation. [06:02] I was saying this situation is unreal [06:02] Flannel - it doesn't... or I wouldn't be spending my time in here [06:02] what is w3m? I typed that in the terminal and got abunch of commands? [06:03] I feel like bashing my head out of frustration.. metaphorically of course. I just can't get anything to work with my wacom tablet... does it matter that it is pen and touch? [06:03] can any one help me i hav installed ubuntu thro wubi and file transfer to usb drive is slow in karmic [06:03] why isn't there a simple 'uninstall' button when you click on a deb package. There is a 'Reinstall' button. [06:03] SeaPhor: Its running these error msg only [06:03] abadabad00: You'll get further by losing the attitude. What does /var/log/dpkg.log say? [06:03] kinja-sheep, is the catalyst/fglrx that ubuntu automatically installed is not the proper driver? [06:03] should I get the official from the ATI [06:03] for the faster browser person, go to google.com/chrome select your right distro and install google chrome [06:04] Harish: Wubi is bad news that was my first experience with ubuntu and it went real bad. Install the real version of Ubuntu. [06:04] atom_fox: It is always possible. It is not uncommon that Ubuntu get things backward. [06:04] ok so I am trying to set my server to a static IP [06:04] i just want my laptop to shutdown [06:04] abadabad00: Or you can use dpkg: dpkg --info whatever-deb-file.ded [06:04] i used sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces [06:04] abadabad00: That'll give you the package name [06:04] Flannel - i'll check that log. But, isn't that a valid point that there should be an 'uninstall' button when you double click on a deb package that has already been installed? They took the time to add a 'reinstall' button.... [06:05] so do I need to remove the preinstalled drivers? I'm sorry but this is my first linux distro.. so I hope you don't get annoyed if I ask simple questions thanks [06:05] Flannel - that should do it [06:05] mone second [06:05] i added in all my network info...and i edited resolv.conf to add my dns entries [06:05] one [06:05] when i restart networking i get an error message saying misplaced option? [06:07] strange [06:07] I want to rename /etc file to /etc1 and reboot the system? [06:07] says it cant read from my network interfaces file [06:07] its was called kdeaddons-emulation but it wasn't in the synaptec. I did a dpkg -r kdeaddons-emulation and it was removed successfully. [06:07] I love linux [06:07] how come which time doesnt return the path to the time program? [06:08] osmosis: er, it does for me [06:08] maco, hmm. my hardy server doesn't [06:09] osmosis: is 'time' a valid command for you? [06:09] Flannel, yes [06:10] Flannel, but i dont see it in /usr/bin [06:10] osmosis: which time works here for me on hardy, do you have /usr/bin/time? hmm [06:11] type time [06:11] time is a shell keyword [06:11] osmosis: what shell are you using? [06:11] osmosis: Right, I was just about to mention that [06:11] whats a lookup path for an executable on shell? e.g. when i type ls, what directories are looked up for existence of ls? [06:11] no path would make sense if its a shell builtin... [06:12] anybody know what this means [ 666.696302] ipw2200: Failed to send CARD_DISABLE: command timed out. [666.697002] System halted [06:12] osmosis: do you have 'time' installed?

Whats the time package called? [06:13] osmosis: time [06:13] yoyo wazzup [06:14] i want to rename /etc file to /etc1 , is it possible? [06:14] woot fixed it [06:14] this shiz rocks!

[06:20] deepa_: Failure to boot [06:20] ShazbotMcNasty: ok... but is there a reason why resize2fs is reporting that online shrinking is not supported? [06:20] ShazbotMcNasty, I think i would like it, but I have only been using linux for a few months and I was wondering if it would be difficult for a newbie to do [06:20] failure to launch any service [06:20] fulat2k, I don't know, I son't use resize2fs [06:21] max1234: discussion about chrome os needs to go to another channel [06:21] anybody here ever go through a course at gurulabs.com?

[06:23] Hi. I want to resize my current linux partition with gparted. Will anything bad happen if I unmount it, while running off of it? Or will I need to grab the gparted livecd?

[06:25] bishop, do you have a ubuntu CD? [06:25] Or have you made one? [06:25] you try reformating the drive with live cd? [06:25] yes [06:25] it is an assignment to rename /etc to /etc1 and to reboot the system. [06:26] bishop, put it in, run it in 'live' to see if you like it - then click the 'install' icon on the desktop [06:26] deepa_: er, what? thatll just break the system [06:26] deepa_: someone was in here earlier that'd done the same silly thing [06:26] deepa_: Then the assignment goal is for you to end up with a corrupted system. IF it is an assignment, go ahead and do it, but your system will not work after that [06:26] deepa_, it will fail [06:26] deepa_, do not do that, that person is trying to get you to break your system [06:26] max1234, did you see my private message? [06:26] folks, deepa_ may be taking a course [06:27] deepa_: burn a live cd you can use to recover from before you do it [06:27] deepa_: last person asking hadnt done that [06:27] oh...

[06:28] irc* and okay :) [06:29] deepa_: you can boot from a livecd and change /etc1 back to /etc [06:31] deepa_, for a windows comparison, it'd be like renaming the "C:\Windows\system32\ directory... [06:31] i tried renaming /etc to /etc1 and reboot but the system didn't reboot at all... [06:32] deepa_, or the "C:\Windows\ directory... for that matter [06:32] deepa_: that was expected [06:32] i have tried to install ubuntu but format does not finish. it jumps ahead to copying files. might have hard drive problem. [06:33] moin [06:33] bishop: First make sure that you do not have hardware problems before you try to install Ubuntu. [06:33] ok [06:34] thankx [06:34] can u just tell me any other alternatives that i can use? [06:34] Hello, i was wondering if someone could guide me thru the sh:grub part when i try to load up ubuntu. this error is caused by not being able to find the start up to load up ubuntu or something like that, i got a page showing me instructions how to do it but im having hard time with set prefix=(hdX,Y)/boot/grub not sure what to put in the x,y [06:35] to manual start i think [06:36] can u just tell me any other alternatives that i can use? [06:37] deepa_: alternatives to what? [06:37] <-- will give money in their paypal if someone can resolve my problem [06:38] alternative to rename /etc to /etc1? [06:38] we came home from shopping, and my husband's computer wouldn't let him click on anything in the top bar, he couldn't pull up a console or anything, not even shut off with the switch. itis typing 3 letters when he presses the u key.. we traded from the usb keyboarad to a ps2 keyboard and it's still happening.. any ideas? [06:38] kubuntu 9.10 [06:39] deepa_: there aren't any, /etc/ is a vital system folder, if you rename it the system will not work.. plain and simple [06:39] thankx bullgard and all. i really like ubuntu. i am just tired of windows. thankx again. seeya [06:39] chalcedny, what happens when you press one of those lock keys? i.e num lock.. does the LED light up? [06:40] Can someone help me to figure my problem out, i installed ubuntu rebooted then it brings me right to the GNU GRUB version 1.97`beta4 looks like dos, but i want to boot up in ubuntu [06:40] k. [06:41] psycho_oreos, yes it does [06:42] Patkc, 9.10? [06:42] yup [06:42] chalcedny, sounds like a software lockup, and so rebooting won't actually resolve the issue? [06:43] Patkc, sounds like it wasn't installed properly [06:43] he rebooted, now it's working .. after 3 keyboards he's back to number1 .. i'm happy if he's happy. [06:43] Patkc, what with the cursor flashing right? [06:43] no im on horrible vista, and at the end, it said something could enter something couldnt write in boot [06:43] psycho_oreos, thank you :) [06:43] chalcedny, I'd say, check the old kernel logs, may contain useful info there [06:44] psycho_oreos, ty .. good idea! [06:44] Patkc, you set it to instal into mbr right? [06:44] chalcedny, it'll be in /var/log and possibly one of those dmesg or messages [06:44] Patkc is there no option in the menu to boot ubuntu? [06:45] can someone help me figure out why my udev rules are not working ? :'( [06:45] yes, i jsut got a virus few days ago and its not letting me work with bootloader, so that part keeps messing up if i could show u link what i got to do in PM would be cool, i just keep getting set prefix=(hdX,Y)/boot/grub If incorrect, "no such disk" <---- that error [06:46] i have a device that is currently on ttyacm3 but i want it on ttyacm0 [06:46] any thoughts ? [06:46] iflema yes there sthe option to boot in ubuntu i chose it then brings me to sh:grub> then i can just type commands [06:47] and from what i read i need to find the boot sequence to get in ubuntu then update the grub === ghost is now known as Guest4535 [06:47] Patkc, good idea to remove the virus first because it would compound the issues [06:47] but im having hard time with that part cause i dont know what to put in prefix=(hdX,Y) for the x,y [06:48] X is disk number, and Y is the partition number.. remember its unix like counting, meaning the first disk and/or first partition starts at number 0 [06:48] Guys i installed cpuburn but i dont know how to run it :O [06:48] what should i do [06:48] oh i tried, i used every virus scanners online, all adware ect tools, and it wont find it cause i think person crypted the virus so its giving me hard time, and i cant format cause im broke and cant buy a cdr til next week lol [06:49] Patkc, and you have nowhere else to backup your data in? [06:49] Patkc you could have go at reinstalling grub... windows will be safe... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [06:50] well when i type ls it gives me (hd0) (hd0,2) (hd0,1) [06:50] ok i check link out [06:50] psycho_oreos, i pulled up a terminal and started to type /var/log .. it makes an ~l when i type l. [06:50] psycho_oreos, if it was windows i'd look for a virus. === Bwaah is now known as Bwafaph [06:51] hello [06:51] Patkc, it means you have 1 hard disk and on it has 3 partitions (1 of them is most likely extended which brings the last one up as a possible logical drive) [06:52] ok so what would i put as x,y any idea? sorry im really noob at this, i just want out of windows im fed up of problems with it [06:52] hi, anybody know the shell command to start mplayer? [06:52] chalcedny, well lol, in linux you can still get infected if you're not careful, generally ubuntu has a good theory behind locking root accounts but even wrong moves could still compromise a linux box just like windows box [06:52] Patkc, read what iflema said [06:52] what, did someone catch a virus??? :O [06:52] chalcedny, I think you're meant to do ls -l /var/log [06:52] how do i extract a cpio archive? [06:53] i was there lol, just keep getting no such disk cause of this command set prefix=(hdX,Y)/boot/grub [06:53] psycho_oreos, i find that hard to believe.. i'll trry that [06:53] cpio -id < archname [06:53] if i do that..it says 1 block.. but i dont see any dirs created.. [06:53] thats what im reading been pass 3 hours, trust me my last solution was to come here and bug. i got laptop right now infront of me trying while using gf comp talking here [06:53] anyone? shell command to start mplayer? [06:53] duffman, 1 sec [06:53] chalcedny, linux terminal is much like DOS prompt.. the first argument is always a command and the subsequent sets of arguments are arguments to be passed onto the command [06:54] k thanks brando753 [06:54] hey there, when I log in as a regular user I get a very low res desktop, but when I log in as root, i get a res of 1680 x 1050. What could cause this? [06:54] duffman take a guess. command line or with gui? [06:54] command line [06:54] psycho_oreos, if i press the L key.. it's typing ~l [06:54] its not mplayer, and theres no entry for man mplayer [06:54] duffman type man mplayer [06:54] chalcedny, on usb keyboard? [06:55] psycho_oreos, if i hit backspace it types other things [06:55] and theres no entry for man mplayer [06:55] !mplayer [06:55] mplayer is a media player. It resides in the mutiverse repository and can easily be installed via applications -> add/remove. For codecs try !codecs [06:55] psycho_oreos, it was doing odd things for letters in the usb keyboard, too [06:55] chalcedny, I'd say it could be a key binding issue [06:55] er the ps2 kbod.. this is the usb one [06:56] Patkc, honestly, my best suggestion is to backup necessary data from vista, do a clean install of vista and then ubuntu [06:56] Patkc, would save you a hell lot of work trying to figure out the grub issue [06:56] psycho_oreos, hmmmmm how do we fix that when we can't type reliably? [06:56] duffman: so you no the location of the video to open and wish to do so through the terminal? [06:57] chalcedny, not sure exactly under ubuntu but look under settings and keyboard [06:57] yes [06:57] yeah, i know just problem is i dont have a vista cd, and i cant buy a cdr cd til i get money, but i will try and figure this out, thanks tho [06:57] duffman: sudo apt-get install mplayer [06:57] then type man mplayer [06:57] its all their [06:57] there [06:57] :D [06:57] psycho_oreos, kubuntu .. ill take a look [06:58] chalcedny, I have xubuntu here, umm kubuntu would almost be the same except maybe integrated into control centre or something [06:59] is it possible to create an image of the root partition while ubuntu is running? [06:59] stelio, yes: look at dd [07:00] just not save to the same partition [07:00] anyone know how to insert a transition between 2 files in kino? [07:01] any help? its urgent [07:01] hello, how might I record sound from my computer and not my mic? [07:01] never tried kino === essy is now known as laggychick [07:01] gui7: ok, but what of files which are still open while running the dd command? === laggychick is now known as lagchick === Bwafaph is now known as Bwaah [07:02] stelio, i believe it'll still work as long as you save to a different partition === SportChick is now known as essy [07:02] Guys i installed cpuburn but i dont know how to run it :O === lagchick is now known as SportChick [07:02] anyone know the command [07:02] :D [07:02] hey guys [07:03] brando753, http://pages.sbcglobal.net/redelm/readme.txt === SportChick is now known as lagchick === essy is now known as SportChick [07:03] i'm installing ubuntu, and i'm wondering if a resize operation of a NTFS visa partition would corrupt the data on it? [07:03] vista* === lagchick is now known as essy [07:04] racks0r: avoid it if you can (maybe shrink that partition from within vista). you might neet to put in the vista install disc so windows can right itself if you do it the other way... or it could ruin it too [07:04] problem is its a laptop and vista came with it, no CD, only restore thing at bios === dad22 is now known as boy22 [07:05] psycho_oreos: thanks [07:05] racks0r, first [07:05] i'm thinking would gparted live cd be better than the ubuntu partitioner? [07:05] racks0r, Defragment VIsta [07:05] already did that brando753 [07:05] racks0r: then [07:05] racks0r: use ubuntu partitioner [07:05] racks0r: the ubuntu livecd will have gparted too [07:05] racks0r: its fine [07:05] but defrag took 2 seconds, not like minutes like it takes on windows :S so i'm not sure if it did it right [07:06] windows xp* [07:06] racks0r: Wait [07:06] ok [07:06] racks0r: u did defrag on windows right [07:06] racks0r: not with some weird linux app right [07:06] how can I record sound from my computer and not my mic? [07:06] yea i meant like it takes time on xp, but vista did it in seconds , its a 350 gig partition [07:06] thats really odd [07:07] i would do once more to be safe [07:07] either way [07:07] it certainly is, that's why i was wonderin [07:07] racks0r: i will give you a link 1 sec [07:07] ok thanks [07:07] enduser000, what do u mean? [07:07] there is a recovery disc if something goes wrong [07:07] there's a slight difference in ntfs versions used in both xp and vista [07:07] ya but my vista brand new takes hours [07:08] racks0r: like record what's playing and not from the microphone [07:09] how do you extract out tar from gunzip compressed files [07:09] Maleko: tar xzf filename [07:09] sometimes there's a capture link, which is the audio that's coming out just puts through a loop, or u can stream it to localhost to the recording app [07:09] how do i add an mozilla prim app to my main menu? i made one for wordpress but when i put it in the menu it just opens gedit [07:09] Maleko: right click, "Extract Here" [07:10] o.O [07:10] sumoduno: you can use the info in the dekstop launcher prism made to make a new menu item [07:10] can u explain? [07:10] you actually misunderstood me. [07:10] psycho_oreos, segfault 11:59 [07:11] sumoduno: did prism make a new desktop launcher for you? [07:11] Maleko: oh, what did you mean? [07:11] hello [07:11] mhm [07:11] I have a problem [07:11] oh u wanna keep tar? Maleko [07:11] chalcedny, doesnt' really help, segfault could be coming from any program [07:11] use gzip [07:11] psycho_oreos, it's messy, i saved it to a word doc.. shall i pastebin the log and maybe we can figure out what broke? [07:11] sumoduno: good, open that desktop launcher in gedit and use that information to make a new menu item [07:11] chalcedny, ok [07:11] k [07:11] sumoduno: I can walk you through it if needed [07:12] oh wow im so dumb i didnt even think about that. haha thnaks! [07:12] sumoduno: No problem, it took me a few minutes to figure it out too :) [07:13] sumoduno: or just use System > Prefs > Main Menu [07:13] sumoduno: once you have the menu item completed and saved, you can delete the desktop launcher if you want to [07:14] im way ahead of you! :) thanks again! [07:14] hehe, ok [07:14] Every time I play a video file my PC freezes and the audio repeats like a machine gun sound, I tried mplayer, and VLC player. the file types I tried where .mkv and then I converted an .mkv to .avi thinking it might have just been .mkv files but every time I play them it gets like 2mins in then freezes up. [07:14] brandon: what distro are you runing? [07:14] lol.... i tried every y,x combination and they all keep telling me no such disk.... [07:15] racks0r: you still here [07:15] 9.04 [07:15] hello, i ddrescue my disk and it says "splitting failed blocks" in the last line and constantly changes the input position and output position which are always equal. it says error size = entire disk size meanwhile. does this make sense? [07:15] racks0r: if so [07:15] should i keep it running [07:15] Whats up fellow insomniac Ubuntu users!? [07:15] o yea i'm here [07:15] or is this this some fucked up dumb shit [07:15] ardchoille, 9.04 [07:15] brando753: hmm, interesting.. do you have all the required codecs installed? [07:15] racks0r: here is the recovery disks for vista to burn if it has a problem [07:15] http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ [07:15] brokendisk, what other file types have u tried? [07:15] Patkc, there's actually two parts to that command [07:15] racks0r: what do u mean? [07:15] oh great! [07:16] ipos and opos are seemingly randomly changed [07:16] oh i meant brandon [07:16] fuck [07:16] ok [07:16] !language [07:16] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [07:16] !language | brokendisk [07:16] brokendisk: please see above [07:17] oh [07:17] ok [07:17] thanks alot brando753 [07:17] racks0r, I belive so, it wouldn't play otherwise would it? [07:17] lol [07:17] may i say effing effsh1t? [07:17] racks0r: np [07:17] brandon: hmm, interesting.. do you have all the required codecs installed? [07:17] set prefix=(hdX,Y)/boot/grub then set root=(loop0) , set , ls /boot when i do that command keeps saying no such disk.. [07:17] i hate that ddrescue doesnt rescue anything [07:17] racks0r: just remember to defrag again that first one sounds to suspicious [07:17] the x,y i tried em all from what i seen in the ls [07:18] ardchoille, what codecs would I need so .mkv plays fine? [07:18] i guess not brandon, what's exactly freezing, can u switch to virtual terminals with Alt+Ctrl+F1 or F2 or others? [07:18] racks0r, I havn't tried. [07:18] psycho_oreos, http://paste.ubuntu.com/356931/ [07:18] brando753, thing is i tried like couple of times, i even did check disk for errors, it said scheduled after reboot, i did reboot it didn't do it [07:18] How do I show what a package provides without installing the package? [07:19] vista man, silly stuff [07:19] ardchoille, dpkg [07:19] does it make any sense to let it keep running? [07:20] another question is there a program that can clean out my ram when it starts to get full? [07:21] racks0r: which option to dpkg? [07:21] chalcedny, weird, the stuff on top shows lots of segfaults mainly to do with screensaver stuff [07:22] lemme check ardchoille [07:22] psycho_oreos, i don't know enough to know.. does this look maybe like why it's doing this: vir kernel: Cannot find map file. [07:22] ardchoille, u wanna see what it contains yea? [07:22] racks0r: I thought it was -I but that fails [07:22] racks0r: I want to see what a package provides [07:23] anyone know the terminal code for getting the GUI GPU details? [07:23] this is what man dpkg on my debian says , -c, --contents archive [07:23] List contents of a deb package. [07:23] chalcedny, I kinda doubt that, a map file is for kernel booting up purposes === nightfrog_ is now known as nightfrog [07:24] anyone know the defference of total time tested by "time" and "gprof" [07:24] hi all [07:24] good morning from Cameroon [07:24] psycho_oreos, ok.. he still can't type. (my husband had a stroke and can't speak.. this is how he communicates.. it's important. [07:24] the time tested by "time" is far beyond the time tested by "gprof" [07:25] racks0r: hmm that sounds fishy, hmm... [07:25] new to the channel [07:25] racks0r: dpkg -c wmaker returns " dpkg-deb: `wmaker' is not a debian format archive" but I installed it from the repos [07:25] ardchoille: dpkg -L wmaker [07:25] I might as well try here. Anyone know how to make a unix domain socket file? Is it different from a regular file? [07:25] my computer can't connet to a device, but it does show in the /dev dir, what could be wrong? [07:25] chalcedny, so its not the keyboard bindings? like the keyboard layout is not different from the usual one? [07:25] krelboyne: Yes! that was it, thanks :) [07:25] what chmod settings should you imply? [07:26] ardchoille: np [07:26] sorry does it make any sense to let it keep running? [07:26] or should i smash it [07:26] it was 660, I tried 777 but that's a bit drastic, isn't it? [07:26] with a rusty pipe [07:26] no [07:26] I am new to linux all together. Does anyone know if there us a usenet grabber similar to grabit? [07:26] psycho_oreos, i couldn't find anything that looked weird there .. maybe i was in the wrong place? [07:26] your disk is already broken, don't smash anything else [07:27] i mean [07:27] fuck [07:27] | ? [07:27] ardchoille: apt-cache depends [07:27] i ddrescue my disk and it says "splitting failed blocks" in the last line and constantly changes the input position and output position which are always equal. it says error size = entire disk size meanwhile. does this make sense? [07:27] * elky stares at brokendisk's vocabulary. [07:27] chalcedny, no sometimes keyboard bindings may actually cause a different letter to be shown on screen, for example a standard US-101 keyboard with say a Euro keyboard would show weird characters on the screen [07:27] the access light of the disk doesnt even blink [07:27] Euro keyboard layout that is* [07:28] DasEi: That's a good one too thanks [07:28] psycho_oreos, it's typing odd and more than one american character, tab does it, backspace does it.. control backspace lets it backspace, but in the goole window it just erases the whole thing. control plus a keky is a command. [07:28] ? [07:29] surviver time or smashing time? [07:30] chalcedny, well I dunno its usually keyboard layouts is the main thing [07:31] otherwise its probably to do with bad connectors [07:31] psycho_oreos, on BOTH usb and ps2 plugs? === devnu11` is now known as devnu11 [07:32] chalcedny, its possible over time ps2 connector can get damaged, had it happen before wih asus motherboard.. but for now what I would try is a livecd distro on that computer that is having the issues [07:32] chalcedny, and see if its actually a hardware issue or software issue [07:34] psycho_oreos, you are filled with good ideas.. i think we even have live cds.. hang on :) [07:35] how do I view my desktop in 3D? [07:35] chalcedny, heh thanks [07:36] brandon, you probably need something like compiz/beryl but much before that a decent video adapter [07:36] Hi, I broke my sound [07:36] In Sound Prefrences > Hardware, there is nothing listed, I don't know if it was always like that, but I'm 99% sure I had sound before [07:36] I have a ATI Radeon 9550 256MB GPU [07:36] if i can run the compiz eye candy does that require some kind of 3d rendering like openGL or directx etc? [07:36] brandon, that should be reasonable enough but probably better if you ran fglrx driver [07:37] minus the directx part :P [07:37] psycho_oreos, whats fglrx? [07:37] I have a question here [07:37] don't know, not a fan of these extreme eye candy stuff [07:37] I'm running Compiz eye candy on a 1.3ghz Celeron with a GeForce440-SE 64mb PCI card, it doesn't take much [07:37] brandon, proprietary driver for ati video cards, works better in almost all cases compared to the free open sourced driver === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz [07:38] trying to get that Regnum linux client game running [07:38] no I mean like running compiz on say intel chipsets [07:38] reports of the laptop graphics card running it, i have direct rendering, still no luck [07:38] psycho_oreos, really? so you think maybe my video's that keep freezing might be caused by this driver as well? [07:39] Is there a way to reset the sound to default, drivers and all? [07:39] brandon, well I don't know for sure, it could be numerous things apart from just the driver, maybe overheating maybe a hardware fault somewhere, etc [07:39] I have no sound. Nothing is muted and and everything is turned up. preferences show no devices. any ideas [07:39] monkey___: Same problem bud! [07:39] psycho_oreos, where can I find this fglrx driver? [07:39] monkey___, laptop ? [07:39] I think I had sound before though [07:39] !fglrx [07:39] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [07:39] psycho_oreos, the ati site? [07:39] !intel [07:39] nope, desktop [07:39] Ubuntu 9.04 has a known regression for some Intel graphics support. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 for more information. [07:39] !fglrx | brandon [07:39] brandon: please see above [07:40] monkey___, well i had a similar issue and had to install Lucid (next ubuntu in developement #ubuntu+1) solved my issues, and hasnt had any issues as of yet [07:42] I'm suspecting the issue that both monkey___ and T0mRiddle are having is related to pulseaudio issue, I do not have 9.10 but 9.04 and I used a dirty hack to make it work by forcing to use alsa instead of pulseaudio (and then I removed pulseaudio) [07:42] should i kill it? [07:42] psycho_oreos, he can type his login with the cd in. it works. [07:42] with a fire hydrant [07:42] Hmm [07:42] hello [07:43] i can't conver avi to other format [07:43] T0mRiddle, same guy from over there? [07:43] chalcedny, so its a software issue, that I'd say is definitely keyboard mapping or some other software causing the issue, for now maybe its a good idea to leave the disc in there and to also try and see what is the difference in setup of keyboard related stuff from cd to the installed version [07:43] i got this: Unknown encoder 'libfaac' [07:43] lol, hey Chalce [07:43] Yup, same me [07:43] songer, you probably don't have that codec [07:44] i have it [07:44] Is there a way to access the pulse config? [07:44] i'. looking on google [07:44] hehe T0mRiddle good to see you, my husband's computer is typing odd things on some keys. no way to type coherently [07:44] anyone know how to setup udev rules ? [07:45] hey have any of you any tips on how to make a .mkv video run better on a slow machine? at the moment it skips a bit using banshee or vlc [07:45] what's the command to type if I want to upgrade to lynx? [07:45] !pulseaudio [07:45] PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [07:45] hey ok i ddrescue my disk and it says "splitting failed blocks" in the last line and constantly changes the input position and output position which are always equal. it says error size = entire disk size meanwhile. does this make sense? [07:45] does this make any sense? [07:45] hyperstream_,where did you get it since its not out yet? [07:45] the access light of the disk does not even blink [07:45] it totally does nothing [07:45] monkey___, its in the topic [07:45] monkey___, of the channel [07:45] but changes the ipos and opos seemingly randomly [07:45] psycho_oreos, T0mRiddle it's still doing it on the letter S ... sigh [07:45] this dumb f [07:45] what dshould i do? [07:46] all hardware you buy in the store doesn't come with linux drivers yet [07:46] monkey___, your not even in the channel: #ubuntu+1 [07:46] right? [07:46] should i take out an old truck wheel rim and hit it? [07:46] chalcedny, and another keyboard? hitting s again? [07:46] psycho_oreos, hmm ok trying another [07:47] I have a quick, easy question, then I'll be out of your hair. What is the default/preferred sound system for Karmic? alsa? pulseaudio? oss? [07:47] pulseaudio [07:47] hey what does this dumb fuk do please? [07:47] language brokendisk .... [07:48] most would recommend pulseaudio, but only if it suits your setup [07:48] but please [07:48] well darn...now that I've asked it...I should have asked for 2. Should i disable/uninstall oss and alsa? [07:48] this thing is insulting me by doing nothing [07:48] Does anyone know a program or a Keyword i can research to allow me to open up a bios image (that you have for flashing updated bios) to either read information about the MB Hardware or change settings? [07:48] causticsand, probably not a good idea [07:48] ok thank you [07:48] Im on this really terrible acer laptop and im trying to unlock it to use a better processor, and im trying to learn how. [07:49] *bows out with a wave [07:49] brokendisk, no one here HAS to help you. You are not paying for this serivce.... go google. or wait paitenly [07:50] hyperstream: how is this relevant [07:50] anybody know what this is? [07:50] you posted your question twice and you were cursing, which may indicate your desperation [07:50] yes [07:51] hate it [07:51] whats the state of the radeon drivers for the ati xpress 200 chipset? [07:51] please help [07:51] you didnt even ask a question [07:51] brokendisk, cursing/begging will only make people not want to help you ... [07:51] my question is does this make any sense? [07:51] i ddrescue my disk and it says "splitting failed blocks" in the last line and constantly changes the input position and output position which are always equal. it says error size = entire disk size meanwhile. does this make sense? [07:51] whats this [07:51] it totally does nothing [07:52] hi, should i use a vga or dvi cable for my monitor? [07:52] just changes the ipos and opos seemingly randomly [07:52] brokendisk, its a hardware issue [07:52] shoult i break it violently? [07:52] brokendisk melt it with thermite [07:52] if you break it, it won't work, which would render what you were doing before useless [07:52] Patbam DVI if it supports it. [07:52] intok: thtas cool [07:53] psycho_oreos: yes yes ok lets be real does this ddrescue make any sense or not? [07:53] Seterwind: the dvi cable for the montior works for a mac, and there's a dvi jack on the computer, so i guess i should use dvi? [07:53] psycho_oreos: it basically does nothing, says errorsize = disk size and updates ipos randomly [07:53] If nothing else will work, yes broken break it in the most voilent manner possible, then you will at least be marginally satisfied with the result. [07:53] brokendisk try google, finding alot of information :) [07:53] does anybody know? [07:53] Patbam then yes, nicer rez =DVI. [07:53] brokendisk, somewhat, but not that I can help you much with, its a hardware issue, which could be anything up to hard disk controllers, etc [07:53] does anyone know a channel where i may find some people who are into hacking a bios? or may know how? [07:53] anybody familiar with ddrescue? [07:54] Seterwind: thanks [07:54] brokendisk, you may want to try ##hardware [07:54] psycho_oreos: of course it is a hardware issue ,thats what ddrescue is meant for [07:54] ok [07:54] Patbam, no problem. [07:54] Seterwind: now i just hav eto figure out why ubuntu won't see it === testi_ is now known as thechef [07:56] wen free can someone give me the command to give a user rwx permissions to //var/www/ please. ive tried chmod rwx //var/www/ also tried chmod 775 //var/www/ with no success :( === r2d2 is now known as Guest60193 [07:56] brokendisk, looks like thats part of gnu which mean it should be well documented. [07:56] Patbam: It's a common driver issue simply put in the horizontal and vertical refresh specs it worked perfectly. I also found that it doesnt like having any other connector plugged in when the dvi connector is in use (ie no svideo or vga). [07:56] Husskii, its one forward slash in front not two [07:57] zenlunatic: documentation doesnt cover behavior [07:57] Husskii, test chmod 777 /var/www [07:57] Husskii, see if that works if it does try 775 again [07:57] Seterwind: it's weird because it was working before i moved [07:57] thanks ill try :) [07:58] how can I check my CPU speed like if I overclocked it? [07:58] chmod: missing operand after `777/var/www' [07:58] Try `chmod --help' for more information. [07:58] brandon: cat /proc/cpuinfo [07:58] Husskii: dont use chmod on /var/www === dani is now known as Guest73747 [07:58] hi Umm Im looking everywhere for someone who knows a thing or two about hacking a MB Bios... I realize im likely not in the right room or area and i do apologize... but i do not know where to go ^_^ [07:59] iceroot, thank you [07:59] iamelite: correct, this is not the right place [07:59] so nobody here is using the radeon drivers?

[08:00] intok, I'm downloading them right now for my 9550 but I have no idea yet what to do once I get the driver. [08:00] iceroot not useful FGLRX 9.3 doesn't play well with 9.10 [08:00] Huskii: try something like chmod g+rwx [08:00] intok: ah ok, good to know [08:00] yes thank you for clarifying what i already knew. Perhaps one of you would like to show your skills and give me a helping pointer? [08:00] i need to because I created the ubuntu server thru proxmox and instead of giving me a superuser it just gave me root, i need it to setup joomla then I can set it back... i forgot to put a space between 777 and var so i retried and didnt get an error, ill now try edit configuration.php and see if it worked [08:01] brandon iceroot looking more for info on how painful it might or might not be to install some of the recent open source drivers for this xpress 200 chipset [08:04] how do I start a physical or memory test in ubuntu 9.10?

[08:11] Try vim /var/log/messages [08:11] jmcs, beaglefs queries...this sounds interesting, mind pointing me to the information you're using to do this (and a better description of what it is) ? [08:12] Welcome back === Argus is now known as Guest88761 [08:12] jadakren, I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 and had been freezing/hangs every 10mins-20 minutes, it's been 3 days and I can't still solve it, mine is Asus F80s laptop... when I use other OS there's no freezing... [08:12] !netsplit === arand_ is now known as arand [08:12] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [08:12] !radeon [08:12] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [08:13] sounds like overheating [08:13] ubottu, I hope this will do... already tried many fixes but still the freezing occurs [08:13] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [08:13] jadakren: I'm using the beaglefs package in the repositories. http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/beaglefs [08:14] rakista: You really want to dump people in vim? [08:14] http://www.lostworlds.lv/go.php?1139723800 New website browser. [08:14] Anyone here know an inverted index implementation I can use ? I got an open book exam tomorrow [08:14] I have a boot problem can anyone help me? [08:14] Vim is a lot easier to use than emacs [08:14] Hi, I can't get my full 1680x1050 on my external monitor with my radeon 3310 [08:14] Hi, I can't get my full 1680x1050 on my external monitor with my radeon 3410 (RV620) [08:14] atom_fox, 1) check the temp in your bios feedback screen (if it has one) 2) check that you're not running compiz (if so disable it and try standard metacity) 3) use the system log viewer to review the contents of the various log files found in : /var/log/* ( dmesg and messages in particular ) [08:15] UbuntuN00B, what's the problem? Someone may be able to help [08:15] rakista: and a lot hared than nano and a nightmare compared to gedit.. [08:15] meh, vim will put some hair on their chests, emacs will make them grow beards [08:15] jmcs, ok does it allow you to for example create a saved search folder that looks for all mp3/ogg/flac files whose artist meta data tag is "So and So" [08:16] jadakren: yes, it accepts any query beagle-query accepts [08:16] jmcs, by default i think ubuntu uses tracker (however i do believe the nautilus saved search folder feature can use beagle too) [08:16] jadakren, which of files in the /var/log should I read? [08:17] /var/log/messages [08:17] swiftarrow I hit ctl+alt+F2 to get out of Ubuntu and then used Sudo Reboot and it rebooted and now it loads Ubunto and then the screen flashes a few times all scrammbled up then stops flashing and all I see now is several Ubuntu logos across the top of the screen and then random scrambled colors at the bottom of the screen. [08:17] Ubuntu you need to rebuild your x.config [08:17] jmcs, reason i ask is that my previous research on the topic didn't reveal any method to retrieve metadata of a file. [08:18] from yiour command line for nvidia is nvidia-xconfig I think [08:18] UbuntuN00B, see what rakista wrote above [08:18] http://www.lostworlds.lv/go.php?1139723800 Please click on this site ! [08:18] how do I do that? [08:18] Just boot to a command line or switch to another terminal [08:18] I have ATI [08:19] rakista: atom_fox in fact, for reading log messages, there is a "Log file Viewer" in the System>Administartion menu [08:20] rakista how do I boot to command? [08:20] just boot normally and hit alt-f2 to switch to a new terminal [08:20] Than type locate x.conf [08:20] See if you have a backup somewhere [08:21] kk let me try [08:21] Get in the habit of backing up x.conf before you make changes [08:22] clear [08:23] so messages has no errors immediately before it crashes ? [08:23] does the owner of a mount point directory matter, if you want to give a different user rw access to that device? [08:24] nixjr: chown [08:24] nix no [08:24] atom_fox listen to your laptop and see if the fan is spinning on your vid card, or do a vivesection on it and watch the fan to see if it turns on [08:24] rakista I can't even boot up to even get into a new termial every time after I start it up it goes to the splash screen for ubuntu loading and then after that I get the flashing screen and then the screen with ubuntu logos and alt-F2 wont do anything [08:25] atom_fox so tonight youll test da RAM? [08:25] try alt-f3 and alt-f7 [08:26] Alt function keys open up new terminals, for ubuntu x runs on alt-f4 or 5 [08:26] It does not sound like ram for atom_fox it sounds like the fan for the cpu or gpu is not spinning up [08:26] nixjr: http://pastebin.com/d9ac7d5a [08:26] iflema, how do I do that? From the grub loader there a memtest option is that it? [08:26] nope all of them don't work its just a frozen screen with Ubuntu Logos 6 wide and white bars at the bottom like a big barcode [08:27] atom_fox think so.. anyway install cds have the option [08:27] rakista, I'm not sure... because my Ram is 4GB.. how do I know if my fan is working? [08:27] iflema, ?? [08:27] nixjr: I don't it the ownership of a directory matters [08:27] Ubuntu you have two options, you can try to use a rescue disk to mount the hard disk and edit the files or you can just reinstall [08:27] would someone mind taking a look at this line from my fstab and telling me what ive done wrong? its reporting an error http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d67a46a9 [08:27] atom_fox do it while you sleep [08:28] iflema, after I do the ram test what do I look for? [08:28] atom_fox listen for it, if you have dual boot check to see if it spins up in windows and not in linux [08:28] rakista rescue disk? where do I get that? [08:28] atom_fox ittl report errors if any..... 4gb takes a while [08:28] atom_fox do it while you sleep [08:28] nixjr: ok can you issue mount -a command in you terminal and pastbin it [08:28] Google linux rescue disk or find a liveboot cd [08:29] nixjr: "mount -a" [08:29] hi there, just put a USB flash drive into my pc running ubuntu, its showning it, but unable to mount it. Is there anything I can do? [08:29] brijith, it just says "[mntent]: line 13 in /etc/fstab is bad" line 13 is what i put in pastebin [08:29] atom_fox atleast then you can rule out the ram [08:30] ok... === r2d2 is now known as Guest69694 [08:30] UbuntuN00B: try booting the recovery option in the grub menu [08:30] AdvoWork: mount it manually [08:30] DasEi, how? [08:30] AdvoWork: open trml .. [08:31] AdvoWork: sudo fdisk -l to find it's device name [08:31] AdvoWork: sudo mkdir /media/usbstick [08:31] I'm not sure about the fan, I really am not aware, that it could be the cause... I already tried to install the official driver from ATI, but still it freeze. Do you think, that compiz could cause the crash... I can read the messages in the log files but I'm not sure what to look for. [08:31] i think its: /dev/sdb1 [08:31] arand how do I go about that? [08:31] nixjr: maybe because the mount directory name having space is the issue "/media/movies & games" [08:31] iflema, rakista , I'm not sure about the fan, I really am not aware, that it could be the cause... I already tried to install the official driver from ATI, but still it freeze. Do you think, that compiz could cause the crash... I can read the messages in the log files but I'm not sure what to look for. [08:31] AdvoWork: sudo mount /dev/sdWhatever [08:31] AdvoWork: sudo mount /dev/sdWhatever /media/usbstick * [08:32] AdvoWork: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/usbstick [08:32] atom_fox heat you say? [08:32] DasEi, ahh, says I must specify the file system type. if its /dev/sdb1 3 2729 4156720 b W95 FAT32 so thats fat32 [08:33] iflema, huh? [08:33] atom_fox disable compiz... run 4 1 week without... see. [08:33] AdvoWork: sudo mount -t fat32 /dev/sdb1 /media/usbstick [08:33] nixjr: try it after changing the folder name .... Or put quotes over the mount directory like "/media/movies & games" [08:33] brijith, when ubuntu mounts it automatically, it uses spaces [08:33] brijith, ah will do [08:33] okie... how do I disable it? I can only find remove from the download software options... do I need to remove compiz? [08:34] You are looking for whatever is occuring the moment before it crashes [08:34] AdvoWork: sudo chown -R /media/usbstick AdvoWork (or whatever regular username) [08:34] UbuntuN00B: when you start the computer you get a boot menu, right? [08:34] So scroll up from boot and look what happens [08:34] arand ok Im in the Recovery Menu [08:34] atom_fox System / Preferences / Apperance [08:34] ara its a blue and grey screen with options [08:34] AdvoWork: cd /media/usbstick && ls [08:35] UbuntuN00B: first try the recover graphics thing, and see if it has any luck [08:35] Hi, I can't get my full 1680x1050 on my external monitor with my radeon 3410 (RV620), any ideas? [08:35] kk let me look [08:35] iflema, and choose non for visual effects? [08:35] DasEi, mount: unknown filesystem type 'fat32' :s [08:36] arand ok it did something then put me back into the menu [08:36] atom_fox yes [08:36] brijith, quoting it had no effect, chnaging the mount point to something without a space worked, however when ubuntu automatically mounts it itself, it uses a mount point with a space, how? [08:36] UbuntuN00B: then try starting it [08:36] atom_fox rule out compiz [08:36] AdvoWork: sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /media/usbstick [08:36] kk [08:36] nixjr: it uses quotation [08:36] nixjr: or some other method [08:37] Im trying to attach a Olympus digital voice recorder vn-3100pc to Ubunut, but it's not displayed, lsusb however does reveal "Bus 003 Device 004: ID 07b4:020d Olympus Optical Co., Ltd Digital Voice Recorder VN", trying to attach it to Windows(Virtual box) results in " Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)", um running Ubuntu 8.10. === Ovidiu is now known as _Ovidiu [08:38] Tm_T, ive tried quotating it, whats another method? [08:38] * _Ovidiu is away: Gone away for now [08:39] nixjr: replace spaces with "\ " without quotes [08:39] atom_fox fan? heat is a big proble... fereeze for sure... no pun intended [08:39] arand nope same problem, try something else? [08:39] nixjr: and the & too with \ perhaps [08:39] ziroday: got the exact model or least the max frequs of that monitor ? [08:39] DasEi, wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.Logs show: kernel: [163037.580880] FAT: bogus number of reserved sectors AND [163037.580886] VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev sdb1. [08:39] iflema, is it necessary to use metacity --replace? [08:39] iflema, or just disable compiz? [08:39] !away > _Ovidiu [08:39] _Ovidiu, please see my private message [08:39] AdvoWork: so maybe it's fat16, like usb's often have, try : [08:39] DasEi: no, but I know the monitor can output to 1680x1050 @ 60Hz [08:39] Dreamglider: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-207104.html [08:39] arand what if I try repair broken packages? [08:40] iflema, still there? [08:41] AdvoWork: sudo mount -t fat /dev/sdb1 /media/usbstick (or fat 16, not in the manpage no more) [08:41] fat16* [08:41] Tm_T, to try and simplify things i got rid of the "&" however using /media/movies\ games didnt work either [08:41] atom_fox just disable see if it freezes.. you mentioed a worry about a fan...... big problem on laptops [08:41] ziroday: second, generating a xorg-section [08:42] nixjr: interesting, I'm out of ideas [08:42] DasEi: vfat [08:42] UbuntuN00B: could do [08:43] arand: Thanks, ill have a look at that. [08:43] UbuntuN00B: if not then use the root terminal and reinstall the graphics drivers, and maybe filesystem-check while you're at it [08:43] AdvoWork: do you know the fs for sure ? [08:43] atom_fox over-heat will cause freeze [08:43] DasEi, tried all them, says it doesnt know what fat is, fat16 is, or vfat16 (thought id try just incase) [08:43] Tm_T, thank you for trying, you too brijith [08:45] AdvoWork: automount using pcmanfm or thunar, works for me whenever "mount" lets me down [08:45] AdvoWork: sudo mount -t auto /dev/sdb1 /media/usbstick , else run gparted to see the actual fs [08:45] I did everything on the menu still nothing, how do I get to the terminal before Ubuntu tries to boot up? do I get to it from the recovery menu some how? [08:45] UbuntuN00B: add a '3' to the second row in GRUB (press 'e' when choosing your system) [08:46] it appears that all my sound works, I just can't hear it, any help? [08:46] Steveturner: is it muted? [08:46] http://pastebin.com/f1fb8184f, ziroday, just use the monitor section [08:47] no [08:47] I think I'd know that [08:47] recovery menu is for boot problems, I would try a rescue disk [08:47] I'm using Karmic on a laptop [08:47] Steveturner: what were you trying to play? [08:48] ziroday: I assume it's an lcd [08:48] MASARUwota whoa I think this is over my head lol, I pressed E when I was hovering over recovery mode now I have 3 options [08:48] uuid, kernal, intrd [08:48] music, TeamSpeak, youtube [08:48] nothing [08:49] UbuntuN00B: edit the kernel one, add a 3 to the end of the row [08:49] but my mic works, I just can't hear that either [08:49] AdvoWork: sudo apt-get install gparted && gparted , theen pick the usb to determine filesystem on it [08:49] ziroday: you know how to handle this ? [08:49] Steveturner: k. try using alsamixer or alsamixergui to make sure its not muted. or try restarting the daemon [08:49] UbuntuN00B: from the recovery menu there should be an option root terminal [08:50] how do I restart the daemon? [08:50] MASARUwota I put 3 after the "single" or at the end of the string of numbers and letters? [08:50] DasEi: yep, done that already. X refused to start. Trying to get it to work with xrandr now [08:50] nothing's muted in alsamixer, I'm sure [08:50] gparted shows it as unknown filesystem, i only really want to format it, its for someone else, for windows 7,, so format to fat32? [08:50] UbuntuN00B: space and a 3, yes [08:51] AdvoWork: if it lets you, or to ntfs [08:51] AdvoWork: No, doze 7 does not use FAT. You need NTFS [08:51] so space 3 after the string or after single? [08:51] MASARUwota: that shouldn't be necessary. [08:51] ty very very much btw, MASARUwota. :-) [08:51] FeasibilityStudy: win 7 doesn't read/write fat32 ??? [08:51] AdvoWork: ntfs [08:51] Steveturner:k... hm.. [08:52] DasEi: It probably does, but I dont think it installs on FAT [08:52] UbuntuN00B: if you start the recovery in the menu there should be a drop to root shell prompt option [08:52] FAT = major suckage [08:52] FAT doesn't even allow for file permissions [08:52] Steveturner: are you a member of the "audio" group? [08:52] MASARUwota I put space 3 after the string and hit enter now I'm back to the 3 options uuid, kernal, and intrd [08:52] DasEi, FeasibilityStudy theres no NTFS option, only ext2,ext3, fat16,fat32,xfs [08:53] yup, did that a few days ago when I also had sound problems lol [08:53] but what's the command? [08:53] UbuntuN00B: it should say "press something to boot" [08:53] FeasibilityStudy: the other way round, some usb's protest to ntfs or even fat32, and tools like unetbootin require fat [08:53] DasEi: FAT is very outdated -- it doesnt even allow for file permissions. [08:53] ara keep that info handy I'm still in another fase might need it if this doesnt work. [08:54] iflema, can I show my log file? then can you check what's the problem? It freeze again and I need to force reboot, that's why I'm gone a while ago [08:54] DasEi: In other words, you can run different users on a FAT filesystem [08:54] FeasibilityStudy: can't, right [08:54] hello hume [08:54] er.. you CANT run different users [08:54] `windows 7 can read fat32 [08:54] MASARUwota k I pressed "b" to boot it did its stuff now it put me back into the recovery menu [08:55] UbuntuN00B: from the recovery menu there should be an option root terminal [08:55] AdvoWork: sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs , restart gparted ( I assume intrepid or newer) [08:55] atom_fox pastebin it give me link.... what log ya rekon [08:55] hello [08:55] UbuntuN00B: or "drop to root shell prompt option" [08:55] arand yes [08:55] arandenter it? === root is now known as Guest19554 [08:56] UbuntuN00B: yes [08:56] FeasibilityStudy: exept from hidden or system, ntfs also has no user-privilegs [08:56] iflema, pastebin? [08:56] arand kk I'm in a command line thing [08:56] DasEi: NTFS allows for file permissions and ACL's, etc. On FAT, there is no ownership of files or permissions -- it is just a free for all. [08:56] anybody can solve audio playback problem?? [08:56] iflema, ok i know it already wait i'll post it : [08:57] atom_fox http://pastebin.com/ im feed'n the boy and gettn him ready for bed but ill be bcak and forward [08:58] UbuntuN00B: Try "fsck -fy /dev/sda#" (where # is number of the partition ubuntu is installed to) [08:58] AdvoWork: what will that stick be used for ? installr medium ? storage ?

For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [09:06] zend_fan: unmount and remount it [09:07] oki doo [09:07] tried unmounting [09:07] Steveturner: try googling a little, its a generic problem.. [09:07] Myrtti no didn't use -fy and aborted the process now back to command line [09:07] zend_fan: first unmount, then remount with -o rw [09:07] Hi all. I'm suffering trying to get vnc to work along with NX between two ubuntu 9.10 boxes. Let's call C the client box and S the server box. I succeeded in starting a regular unix session from C to S, but failed with vnc [09:07] zend_fan: sudo chown -R zend_fan (or your regular username) /media/2CC7-92B5 [09:07] UbuntuN00B: good [09:07] On S, I wish I could use vino as the vnc server, as it is ubuntu's default. It's up and running, already listening on 5900 port. [09:07] Still on S, I could get vnc to work locally by starting several vnc clients and connecting to 127.0.0.1:5900. It works [09:07] So why the hell can't I make it work distantly if it works locally ? [09:07] tried chmod 777 [09:07] DasEi, urgh, didnt work with fat32 either: Input/output error during write on /dev/sdb [09:08] UbuntuN00B: ok, let's instead schedule the fsck for next boot. [09:08] AdvoWork: try gparted > new parti-table > type msdos [09:08] Myrtti I have no idea what I'm doing I'm just letting you guys guid me aimlessly lolz XD [09:08] UbuntuN00B: use "touch /forcefsck" [09:08] arand how do I do this? [09:08] zend_fan: 777 could be, less secure, though, but have to -R it (subfolders) [09:08] man chmod [09:08] and then reboot [09:09] UbuntuN00B: never hurts to check with google if the commands are safe [09:09] zend_fan: better own it to regular user [09:09] yeah used 777 -R just my usb want to transfer all my files off by as its read only wont let me [09:09] arand that command line didn't work [09:10] sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/ppa [09:11] Myrtti: do you know if there is any way to get to the maintenance mode where the root fs isn't mounted? [09:11] UbuntuN00B: any errors? [09:11] zend_fan: sudo chmod -R 777 /media/2.. didn't the trick ? forgot sudo ? [09:11] MASARUwota^ [09:11] woops [09:11] arand no such file or directory [09:11] The user `steve' is already a member of `audio'. [09:11] that [09:11] AdvoWork: found gparted's option ? [09:11] DasEi, doh, i dont see a type msdos. sorry for all this [09:12] np [09:12] it runs thru but nah dont do it :( [09:12] arand oops didn't use a space fter touch now I did it again and it didn't say anything [09:12] just a new command line [09:13] arand: livecd [09:13] arand do i need to restart somehow to see if it worked? [09:13] UbuntuN00B: ls /forcefsck [09:13] AdvoWork: fourth columm from the right, make new partition table [09:14] UbuntuN00B: if it doesnt say anything, then it worked =) [09:14] AdvoWork: CAREFULL! select the usb ! [09:15] Myrtti I used your command and it put a line "/forcefsck" then a new command line [09:15] UbuntuN00B: then it was sucessful, now reboot [09:15] And let it boot normally [09:17] do I coldboot it or use a command to reboot? [09:17] guys anyone using the new kubuntu-netbook thing? [09:17] power button? or command reboot? [09:17] UbuntuN00B: sudo reboot [09:19] Myrtti: true, for fsck it would be one way, but if this one doesn't give any errors the fs should be ok, and we'll have to go into rreinstalling the video drivers, which is simpler from recovery mode [09:19] I guess I should mention that every time I shut the computer off I have to turn it on then off then on again just for it to start up I dont know why this is. [09:20] like I'll turn it on then it will do nothing then I turn it off then on and I get the beep and everything loads [09:20] arand its doing a routine check at the Ubuntu splash screen I guess this is a good thing? [09:21] arand the check finished and I still have the same problem with my screen :( [09:22] could someone help me with configuring 2 screens? [09:22] i have a nvidia proprietary driver [09:22] UbuntuN00B: ok let's go into recovery again and try reinstalling the video driver. [09:23] UbuntuN00B: what is your video card? [09:23] I don't know if this all happend when I tried to overclock with Eee aplet and nothing happen so I uninstalled the Eee applet and then rebooted [09:23] hey guys thanks heaps, all is sorted now :) I passed the permissions bit then hit another brick wall but since I had the permissions to edit the needed file, I was able to complete the install, now I have joomla installed :D [09:23] UbuntuN00B: and are you using proprietary or defautl drivers? [09:23] arand ATI Radeon 9550 and drivers that Ubuntu gave me. [09:24] AdvoWork: found it ? [09:25] arand I'm in recovery menu [09:25] UbuntuN00B: so you installed extra drivers, using the hardware drivers app? [09:27] UbuntuN00B: go to root shell again [09:27] arand no I didn't install any drivers whatever Ubuntu used by default I guess [09:27] arand in root hell [09:27] shell* [09:28] well to me its hell lolz [09:29] so pretty much the weirdest issue I have ever seen, I just installed a virt-manager and created a virtual machine and installed XP on it, I used the XP install & my xp disc in conjunction with N-Lite to create an AHCI compatible XP install disc for use on a PC build for a friend, and when I went to burn it, I am now unable to burn cd images; prior to installing the virtualization software, I had just burned an Ubuntu disc since my frien [09:29] !doesntwork|Xaero252 [09:29] Xaero252: 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. [09:29] Masaru, read what I typed [09:29] nice try [09:29] Xaero252: :/ what did it say [09:30] I pastebin'd what it reported, it just simply said it was "Unable to burn the CD/DVD image" [09:30] There was more meat than me just saying "Ubuntu doesn't work when I try to burn a cd" [09:31] arand what do I do when I'm in the root shell? [09:31] UbuntuN00B: hang on.. [09:31] Xaero252: wheres the [09:31] arand kk [09:31] the pastebin [09:32] Xaero252: so pretty much the weirdest issue I have ever seen, I just installed a virt-manager and created a virtual machine and installed XP on it, I used the XP install & my xp disc in conjunction with N-Lite to create an AHCI compatible XP install disc for use on a PC build for a friend, and when I went to burn it, I am now unable to burn cd images; prior to installing the virtualization software, I had just burned an Ubuntu disc sinc [09:32] right at the end [09:32] UbuntuN00B: first, just to make sure [09:33] UbuntuN00B: "dpkg -l | grep fglrx" gives just the modaliases package right?

[10:24] MASARUwota, I'm thinking of remote administrating a Ubuntu Desktop using my laptop as thin client. What do think, is this a good idea? [10:24] anyone know why my account is opening a location launcher in GEDIT instead of firefox? [10:24] arand thats fine I just need to know where to find the file/programs to back up before doing so [10:24] nixjr: it depends... 9.10 is newer.. 9.04 had some issues with intel graphics cards amongst other things.. 9.10 has issues with some things as well... [10:24] any other account opens it in firefox [10:24] iflema, I hope this could be fix... because it's really annoying especially when I'm in the middle of something important [10:25] hi, what is the best way to assign eth0 name to any adapter i choose on 9.10 [10:25] znh: sure. im not a fan of thin clients. (i would do a minimal install of a distro on that laptop instead). but go ahead =) [10:25] nixjr: but both are less than a year old.. so it's not really a problem [10:25] UbuntuN00B: if you look in the file manager you should be able to see the ubuntu drive and browse it [10:26] MASARUwota, I'm in doubt because of the network delay and not knowing native clients for the desktop [10:26] garymc: edit the launcher [10:26] MASARUwota the launcher works fine on all other accounts just not mine [10:26] znh: the lag can be pretty horrible sometimes. My dad has a thinclient with XP. when someone is downloading stuff its so sloc.. [10:26] UbuntuN00B: the home/username folder might be of interest to copy [10:27] garymc: press ALT-F2 and type firefox. does that work? [10:27] Slart, i only picked 0.04 because i had it on cd and it saved me having to download anything, your saying even with 9.10 it dosnt mean i wont have issues? [10:27] MASARUwota, I think you can help me. I'm trying to reinstall my sound drivers, and in the readme, it says to edit my modules.conf in /etc/ or modprobe.conf depending on my distribution [10:27] but I don't see either [10:27] MASARUwota, the network would be a dedicated gigabit line [10:27] I just see a modules [10:27] but it's not .conf [10:27] Steveturner: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:28] Steveturner: hmm ubuntu doesnt use that afaik [10:28] MASARUwota that just launches firefox. firefox works fine just this launcher is loading gedit [10:28] nixjr: 9.10 is far from perfect.. but the next version 10.04 will be a LTS version.. that means it will have longer support and is supposed to be more stable [10:28] Idk what afaik is, what should I do right now? [10:28] garymc: then change the command that the launcher uses [10:28] nixjr: you can just wait until april and upgrade then [10:28] UbuntuN00B: http://kevin.vanzonneveld.net/techblog/article/restore_packages_using_dselectupgrade/ has a nice guide on how to backup a list of all installed applications to reinstall again [10:28] Steveturner: as far as i know. does sound work with other distributions of linux? [10:28] I see other files that are .conf though [10:29] Slart, can i do that without reformatting my system? [10:29] uhh, I haven't tried to use any other distributions of Linux [10:29] Steveturner: why not?? :S [10:29] nixjr: you can usually just upgrade "in place".. without loosing any files [10:29] MASARUwota yeah i do but it keeps showing on my account as application not location. I load up other account and it shows location. (This is an LTSP server with various accounts) [10:29] are you talking about like... switching from Ubuntu to something else? [10:29] iflema, it happend agagin [10:29] garymc: that doesnt make any sense [10:29] just mine doesnt work [10:29] iflema, i just came from another freeze, i had to reboot again [10:30] Steveturner: trying out another distro, yes [10:30] Quan-Time install dvb-apps and use scan.. initial tuning data for your location is located @ /usr/share/dvb/ [10:30] Steveturner: linux mint is ubuntu based [10:30] iflema, I try to run Ktorrent... after a minute the system goes freeze again [10:30] MASARUwota I know. But i had this problem a while back and since then ive done a fresh install and my account is doing the same thing. But last time someone here solved it for me [10:30] iflema, what do you think? [10:30] atom_fox yeah man tonight for sure test that ram.. [10:30] atom_fox: qt takes up too much memory or processing power [10:30] so you think I should switch to Linux mint? how about redhat? what are the differences? Kubuntu? [10:30] Quan-Time scan with a program called scan [10:31] Steveturner, ill private message you [10:31] ok [10:31] MASARUwota, so it means it is the cause of the freeze? [10:31] MASARUwota, what do you suggest? use other torrent apps? [10:32] MASARUwota : Just to let you know these launchers I created and put in a share folder so they appear on all users desktops. Its just my desktop (where I created them in my account) that they dont work on [10:32] !mintsupport | Steveturner FYI [10:32] Steveturner FYI: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [10:32] MASARUwota, ?? [10:32] Quan-Time_ install dvb-apps and use scan.. initial tuning data for your location is located @ /usr/share/dvb/ [10:33] in terms of keyboard shortcuts, what is ? [10:33] nixjr: windows key [10:33] atom_fox: yeah, deluge or transmission if you need n interface [10:34] dw [10:34] MASARUwota, ah thanks [10:34] Quan-Time or cheat and install kaffeine [10:34] MASARUwota, now I get it... I did not notice and think that it could be the cause... is that really possible? [10:35] atom_fox: QT is pretty heavy [10:35] hi guys [10:35] !hi|papul [10:35] papul: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines . Enjoy your stay! [10:35] iflema: cheers.. ill try it [10:36] Quan-Time_ or cheat and install kaffeine [10:36] MASARUwota : I also noticed it is when i make the location http://localhost/admin it doesnt work on my account but if i make the location eg http://www.google.com it works fine???????/ [10:36] garymc: use "firefox " instead [10:36] what would it be? [10:37] iflema: lots of errors.. time to hit google up [10:38] MASARUwota: instead of telling the bot u could say hi directly. i am not new here [10:38] MASARUwota : How would i put the firefox url in for localhost? [10:38] arand I found the list of programs and saved them to a .txt file Im not sure how I will use that to reinstall when the time comes [10:38] iflema, MASARUwota suggested that it's the Ktorrent causing the freeze.. he said it took a lot of memory [10:39] atom_fox QT can take a lot of memory [10:39] maybe I'll try to use other apps, but still observe what happens to the system :) [10:39] MASARUwota, thank you so much.. [10:39] papul :| [10:39] qt??? quick time?? [10:40] hi @all, i wanted to make a php update from version 5.1.2 to v5.3.1 on my vserver; therefore i downloaded the source files and compiled i on my own then "make install" and all seems fine // i´ve done this cause when i use "apt-get" it seems that the latest version i get is 5.1.2 [10:40] papul: having said that DOES make you seem new. QT as in Q toolkit, the toolkit that KDE uses, for example. [10:40] yeah i know [10:40] was just testing ;) [10:40] u [10:40] garymc "firefox http://localhost/" [10:40] papul :| [10:41] iflema, still there? [10:41] when i ask phpinfo, it tells me that my actuall running version is still 5.1.2, cause i didn´t tell hi what version he should use for php5 [10:41] ^_^ [10:41] php -v --> V5.3.1 [10:41] php5 -v --> 5.1.2 [10:41] UbuntuN00B: instructions are in the blog [10:41] std: php [10:42] can anybody tell me how i cann use my new version for php5 [10:42] pgp5 is one of the isntalled versions [10:42] mib apt-get upgrade? lol [10:42] *php5 [10:42] done this, but then he installt the older version 5.1.2 [10:43] is there any channel here for tor? [10:43] thats why i´ve tried it "manually" [10:43] MASARUwota : that didnt seem to work. I will take out the bit and see if that works [10:43] papul: what do you need tor for? CP? [10:43] 7906 [10:43] sorry, wring window [10:43] garymc: i mean that you should replace with whatever you want to put there [10:44] like admin? [10:44] garymc: i guess [10:44] MASARUwota: i am actively using tor. i just want to know if any channel is available [10:44] garymc: what exactly do u want to do? [10:44] papul: #tor is alive, let me check its official channel [10:45] papul: try #tor on irc.oftc.net [10:45] MASARUwota thats seems to do the trick thanks alot [10:45] MASARUwota: yes got it [10:45] garymc np =) [10:45] i just need to check other accounts now [10:45] thanks [10:47] papul, tor is banned on quite some irc networks, i see [10:48] !botsnack [10:48] Yum!

GNOME restarts now and then, and I can't figure what is the cause. even if I repeat all the same things, it all usually goes fine. It doesn't happen often, but is quite annoying. [11:07] So... what can be the cause? === greyz is now known as greyz|skool [11:07] hello, [11:08] how can i make zoomon moovida? [11:08] theadmin: It could be any number of things, hardware and software [11:08] DasEi, I cant, it wont let me make a new partition table on the usb, its greyed out [11:09] luke: Well, it kinda brings me back to GDM. I'm not sure it's called "restarting" [11:09] theadmin: You should try putting it on the forum, including everything you know... I can't really help you, but one of the guys on there should be able too [11:10] can I install Ubuntu 9.10 on latest XenServer? [11:10] Sounds like software to me, if you can't find a solution, reinstalling the OS should work [11:10] luke: Okay, will do someday, right now I'm kinda too busy to. [11:10] can some1 help me with a bit of a problem? [11:10] My firestarter keeps detecting something on port 80 and i keep getting thrown offline.. :S have no idea what to do..

[11:23] Aiya, I noticed the name given to the secondary pacakge in the PDF file is not the same as the one you actually have so [11:24] so how? [11:24] I confuse~ [11:24] AdvoWork: strange thing you got there, if you rightclick the partiton ('unallocated') in gparted, get any choices ? [11:24] Aiya, the part that asks you to tar xvzg hsdpa after you have type that much hit the tab key on the keyboard to complete the correct name === All is now known as Guest59543 [11:26] Aiya, out of curiosity this appears to be a modem driver....are you having issues? [11:27] yes [11:27] :( [11:27] ok [11:27] Aiya, how far did you get with the installation and are you sure this is the correct driver?

[11:29] did they upgraded compiz? My firefox has transparent background. :/ [11:29] meaning that you can't use the internet data package that comes with the blackberry [11:29] Myrtti yes , Kubuntu Karmic [11:30] is anybody here who could help me my webcam on skype workin. Video on it is goin green and i am going crazy. I have Ubuntu 9.10. I was googling around but most of the stuff what i read don't understand becouse of my begginer skills. On other application the webcam is workin, so i know there has to be the way to make skype workin with webcam too. Soo please is there somebody? [11:31] Hey is there a method that will try remove non-alphanumeric characters from a word like "ha.haha" -> "hahaha" [11:33] every time I try to use my webcam it says that I don't have libmimic installed, but synaptic package manager says otherwise, what should I do? I'm currently using the latest version of Ubuntu, Karmic on a laptop (not with a webcam attached though, I want to see other people's webcam) [11:33] Guest59543, which version of Skype are you using? [11:33] disappearedng, regular expression. [11:33] disappearedng: learn VI(m) or emacs [11:33] Is there a way to remove ubuntu-desktop? I've apt-get removed it but I can't autoremove the dependancies any ideas? [11:33] (got a very low spec machine that is basically now just a server and it's getting clogged up with gnome) [11:33] JediMaster, you want purekde or something else [11:33] bazhang, just command line [11:34] JediMaster > apt-get autoremove ? [11:34] besides tons of free applications and near virus proof whats the major benifit for haveing Ubuntu OS over any other and besides it being free as well. [11:34] oh sorry wrong channel [11:34] JediMaster: i suggest reinstalling a minimal system [11:34] UbuntuN00B: possibility to adjust it to your needs ad nauseatum [11:34] SteveTurner, which webcam do you have? [11:34] MASARUwota, already tried that, it seems to have selected them [11:34] I don't have a webcam [11:35] I want to see other ppl's webcam [11:35] JediMaster: sudo apt-get remove --purge ubuntu-desktop, then sudo init 1, from there : sudo apt-get auoremove , sudo apt-get clean [11:35] but it says I need libmimic, and I got that [11:35] MASARUwota, not really an option as it's in a remote office [11:35] auto*.. [11:35] Myrtti yeah [11:35] JediMaster, all the gnome packages are here --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE [11:35] bazhang, ta [11:35] Steveturner ...got it....which program are you using to view other's webcams? [11:35] emeseme [11:36] emesene [11:36] my bad [11:36] AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH! [11:36] ? [11:36] that's why? [11:36] hi [11:36] anyone knows how to make HP remote control work with linux? [11:36] question I'm reinstalling all my packages right now would that make my pc brick again if i had a problem with it being bricked in the firstplace? [11:36] JediMaster: and also remove gdm ( and others, if existing) [11:36] Steveturn>>Dude...I've had so much trouble with that....have you tried Skype? [11:36] mmm, I guess I could try [11:37] so... I'm not the only one, ok [11:37] ekiga > skype [11:37] It works,,,,,,out the box! [11:37] DasEi, I've already apt-get removed ubuntu-desktop and autoremove doesn't get rid of gnome [11:37] scratch that I need to ask that better lol [11:37] UbuntuN00B: hard to say , as reinstalling won't touch your older config [11:37] bill_, don't you agree that emesene is the best windows msn look-alike? I don't really like aMSN or Pidgin and all that other stuff much [11:37] JediMaster: same with gdm [11:37] DasEi, the unallocated bit only shows as 4mb, underneath that shows sdb1 with 3.96gb [11:38] SteveturnerI recommend using Skype 2.0...the new Skype has a few issues [11:38] DasEi, will try that, ta [11:38] ok. [11:38] AdvoWork: sudo apt-get install pastebinit [11:38] DasEi I guess once its finishes with its batch install thing from the terminal then I will know lol just hope its not the hard way. [11:38] Steveturner....yeh it's ok.,...but I have never been able to get the webcam working on it though [11:38] starykomputer is it a media centre remote? [11:39] AdvoWork: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit ,give url here [11:39] Does anyone here use both Winblows & Ubuntu on same HDD? [11:39] Steveturner.....if you can't find the package for Skype2.0 email me @BillSclater@hotmail.com, and I can mail you the package [11:40] UbuntuN00B: prbly it won't hang, but you mussn't forget many apps want to be configured, which can be a bad choice in autoinstallation [11:40] Umeaboy: I did [11:40] Steveturner....also if you install PlayOnLinux (the wine GUI) there is an option to install the windows version of messenger.....you could also try that. [11:41] !details | Umeaboy [11:41] Umeaboy: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [11:41] DasEi so what your saying is after installing they might all spam me at once asking me to configure them ll? [11:41] Umeaboy are you talking about having a dual boot situation? [11:42] DasEi & bill_: It's correct. I have huge problem getting grub to know the right boot-settings. [11:42] UbuntuN00B: spam you ? you're dreaming xd;; now, depending on your software you will have to mention what was there to be done before, if you just had apps like mm-player and office stuff, less a problem [11:43] Umeaboy....so you've already installed both windows and ubuntu? [11:43] Umeaboy: best way is first install win, then ubuntu [11:44] Umeaboy: present situation ? [11:45] bill_: I've got Winblows 7, Mandriva 2010.0 & Ubuntu 9.10 installed. [11:45] Umeaboy..DasEi is right...if you install ubuntu first some windows versions may just overwrite the linux partition on your HDD, or it will screw up Grub. [11:45] DasEi: I did that. [11:45] What happens when you boot up? [11:45] First Winblows 7, then Mandriva 2010.0 & then Ubuntu 9.10. [11:46] bill_: I come to GRUB2 bootlist & when I choose to boot Mandriva & see a message saying "error no partition found". [11:47] hello! [11:47] Umeaboy: win and ubuntu boot ? [11:47] Win-boot loads, but then the computer restarts to GRUB again. [11:48] Ubuntu loads fine. [11:48] Umeaboy: ic.. well [11:48] do you guys think ubuntu would make a good media center OS ? [11:48] Umeaboy: for a triple boot the mbr is too small, dualboot win/buntu would fit, way to go is little more complicated [11:49] Umeaboy: run update-grub [11:49] nonexks: XBMC [11:49] MASARUwota: Already done so. [11:49] nonexks: It should be a good enough one, unless "media" by your definition includes games. [11:49] Umeaboy...Really? It sounds like a microsoft issue then. I heard that Microsoft have altered W7 to make dualbooting woith other Os's very difficult. [11:49] Umeaboy: if you used karmic, you now got a mix there, win, grub1, grub2 [11:49] MASARUwota: This is the result: http://paste.ubuntu.com/357015/ [11:50] how do I create a user account??? [11:50] Dravekx: adduser [11:50] Dravekx: Go to System - Admininstration - Users And Groups [11:50] go-go-gadget --add-user "newuser" [11:50] ubuntu server [11:50] Umeaboy I'm not sure about what Dasei said, I've had triple and quadruple boots before with no problem. [11:50] Good day! [11:50] mobi-sheep: Lol. [11:50] It is an army swiss knife for everything. Every OS have one. [11:51] This is the GRUB's conf-file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/357016/ [11:51] would love to play games on ubuntu but it is sutch a pain in the balls ... was thinking movies tv etc .. [11:51] bill: I had 6 oses on a hd once, but then installed the grubs to /boot and chainloaded them to keep mbr uncomplicated [11:51] Umeaboy...does windows get to the desktop or login screen? [11:52] It should'nt say hd0,4 on the Mandriva-alternatives right? [11:52] bill_: Nope. [11:52] Dasei...I see [11:52] iflema: jest it's media center [11:52] nonexks: What's wrong? [11:52] nonexks: I have a machine dedicated for HTPC (Home Theater PC) running XBMC. 1080p works beautiful. I'm playing Pingus -- It's a good linux game. [11:52] Umeaboy...my MS systems engineer friend told me it could be a buffer overflow virus that windows has. [11:52] There are many games in Linux. [11:53] oh i usualy play games like eve online and wow [11:53] starykomputer you need to install lirc if have'nt already [11:53] Umeaboy: Well, let's be honest, compared to how many does that M$ crap have... [11:53] bill_ Okey. Can I undo this installation of Ubuntu somehow without having to format the entire drive? [11:53] nonexks: windows games [11:53] but i have a computer for games i just dule boot ubuntu and windows depending on what i plan on doing [11:53] ya wish they would release linux versions [11:53] nonexks: thats what i do aswell [11:53] theadmin: Many many mnay more games in Linux. === mariusz_ is now known as manio [11:54] ok, I created a new user..how do I setup permissions so he can see a certain directory? [11:54] nonexks: commercial games arent open-source, so they should just stay with windows, imo [11:54] think XBMC would do it for my computer i use for movies and tv stuff [11:54] If you're not happy with the game-situation, then fiel a report or make a game that fits your needs & stop whining! [11:54] Dravekx: Assign this directory to his group and set it to something like rwxrw---- [11:54] nonexks: I think VLC is more than enough for computers. [11:55] theadmin, can I PM? I need some help [11:55] dont know about VLC ... brb while i go look it up [11:55] Umeaboy: no ones whining [11:55] Dravekx: Okay [11:55] oh ya VLC i use that [11:55] nonexks: (s)mplayer is the best linux mediaplayer [11:55] Umeaboy: Who needs games anyway, lolz... not me. [11:55] Umeaboy: first, easier try, next to MASARUwota's tip , sudo update-grub from ubuntu, is 1) backup current mbr 2)re-install win-loader 3) get a supergrubdisk (google) 4) write down the /boot partis of the two remaining /boot 5) re-install grub with that cd [11:55] i like it ... very good program [11:55] nonexks: An alternative is mplayer-nogui and smplayer === jon is now known as Guest48638 [11:55] http://en.opensuse.org/SuSE_FTP_Net_Install_with_screenshots [11:55] andrew_46: Well, with VLC you don't worry about codecs ;) [11:56] DasEi: Woooooah!!!! One thing at a time, please. [11:56] theadmin: vlc will use the external codecs if it is compiled with --enable-loader [11:57] XBMC looks really cool ... i wonder if it has touch screen capabilitys [11:57] Umeaboy: if that won't work, got to install mandrivas grub to it's boot, chainload it from grub 2 [11:58] Umeaboy..The only way I know how to do that is a bit of a bodged way! Fiirst copy /boot/grub/grub.cfg from ubuntu. Then reinstalll Mandriva again, got to the expert options when it asks you about partitioning.From the Mandriva installer partitioner delete the ubuntu partitions and make sure the root/home directories are not selected to be formatted, go from there. [11:58] DasEi: How do I chainload it from GRUB2? [11:58] Edit the boot.cfg? [11:58] DasEi, http://pastebin.com/d6fbb8c55 [11:58] nonexks: If you are able to use mouse with touch screen, then yeah, you could use XBMC for touch-screen to some point. I use Xbox DVD IR remote control. [11:58] Umeaboy: by telling grub2 to call another bootloader, chainloader+1 [11:59] Oooooooooh. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more difficult. [11:59] I have a brain of an amoeba. [12:00] i have always wanted to set up a cool media box ... i am thinking my computer , 72" tv , 15" lcd touch screen (as the remote) , yahama 7.1 reciver for sound [12:00] Umeaboy or just do what I said ....reinstall mandriva....from the partioner delete the ubuntu partitions, then make sure the mandriva / and home directories are not selected to be formatted, click go. [12:00] AdvoWork: so it's actually 4 gb, gparted won't let you set an empty party table on it ? is there a write-protection switch ?? [12:01] i was thinking if i run the 15" as same screen as the 72" but have touch controls on the 15" i could do just about anything ... but i may need some kind of package that allows it to access controles like a i phone does or something like that [12:01] AdvoWork: try sth else : sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb [12:02] hi [12:02] can I do iphone development on ubuntu ? [12:02] Umeaboy that way won't delete Mandriva or windows, and the installer will do all that grub confifuration stuff for you. [12:02] silv3r_m00n: if apple released a linux SDK, which is probably didnt [12:02] morning all [12:02] *they [12:02] hi kieran [12:02] Umeaboy: open a trml.. [12:03] any1 here using talktalk (isp)?

[12:06] DasEi: none of them talk about iphone development [12:08] hello. Does anybody where Ubuntu stores keymaps for TTYs?

[12:11] DasEi: Yep. The problem is that all keys are mixed up (totally wrong settings) whenever I switch to a TTY, so I can't use them. [12:12] Mrokii: /etc/default/console-setup, to order : sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup [12:14] Mrokii: some settings are also made in the profiles of things like bash [12:15] DasEi: Bash (opened within Ubuntu) works fine. It's just the TTYs that have problems with the keymap. Thanks, btw, will try that. [12:16] Mrokii: might have to update initramfs [12:16] DasEi: What's that? [12:16] Mrokii: config file loaded at bootup time [12:17] located in /boot, just cd there , call by sudo with no args, it's self explaining [12:17] sudo update-initramfs [12:17] DasEi: Okay, will check that, too. Had a lok at the console-setup-file, and the keyboard-settings seem to be right (the same as in the graphical preference-setter from Ubuntu). === malnilion_ is now known as malnilion [12:19] Mrokii: another slim chance, you are missing some translation packages, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get install -f [12:19] how do I find which package provides a given virtual package? in this ccase I need to find out which real package provides the virtual package opencv [12:20] kandinski: sudo apt-get depends [12:20] Bom dia! [12:20] DasEi: Nothing new to install, after updating. [12:20] Good morning [12:20] hm, is there any way of preventing the "General error mounting filesystems" if any drive in fstab is unavalibale? [12:20] it seems Karmic stops boot in that case and it's annoying [12:20] Mrokii: is there sth in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? [12:21] DasEi: ta [12:21] Ubuntu's Remote Access.. what protocol is used? VNC [12:21] Anybody knows how change the number of entries in "Locals->Recent documents"? [12:22] kandinski: typo; apt-cache depends [12:22] DasEi: I do not find that string in xorg.conf [12:22] Mrokii: sth = something [12:22] Is it possible to create a Live CD installer through a Ubuntu (as Guest) in Virtualbox? [12:22] DasEi: "ta" means thanks, so ta again! [12:22] hehe, nice [12:23] ca, kandinski [12:23] DasEi: Ah, okay, heh. Yep, there is a keyboard-entry, if you mean that: InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" [12:23] Anybody knows how change the number of entries in "Locals->Recent documents"? [12:24] DasEi: And then there is a section "Input Device" with these two entries: [12:24] Identifier "Keyboard0" [12:24] Driver "keyboard" [12:24] Mavrik: that seem to warrant a bug report [12:24] Mrokii: could be also tricking then, back it up in case things mess up, from tty issue a : sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg , lets you also set kb-layout, but back that file up, case x starves [12:24] #ubuntu-ru [12:25] Ubuntu kernel dont support reiser4 fs? === racks0r is now known as bbb8 [12:25] leleobhz: it does, but isn't recommended, [12:25] !riser [12:26] !reiser [12:26] reiserfs is a journalling file system, which outperforms many others on I/O operations, but has drawbacks (such as increasing likelihood of data loss, and introducing latency unsuitable for gaming or real-time audio). Using !ext3, the default on Ubuntu, is *highly* recommended. A read-only Windows driver is available at http://p-nand-q.com/download/rfstool.html [12:26] Anybody knows how change the number of entries in "Locals->Recent documents"? [12:26] isnt my point if its recommended or not because rfs4 is the only fs that have what i need [12:26] ubuntu-ru\ [12:26] ????\ [12:27] arand, oh I see. I'll post a bug then. [12:27] DasEi: i need to mount a reiser4 volume, but i see kernel dont have support for it [12:27] DasEi: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" didn't do anything. [12:27] cebep: /join #ubuntu-ru [12:27] anyway, i know why im using reiser4 :] [12:27] hello [12:27] leleobhz > :O why? [12:27] hi Zaddy [12:27] Mrokii: have to do it from outside X [12:27] MASARUwota: online fs compress [12:27] somebody knows how can I back up a mysql database when it's installed in a non-working linux ? [12:27] *gzip compress [12:28] Zaddy: live cd [12:28] I somehow managed to break my boot... so I'm in a live ubuntu 9.10 [12:28] leleobhz thats pretty nice i guess [12:28] just copying the mysql data files will do it ? [12:28] MASARUwota: i need more or less +200mb on my volume to fit a portable linux and ill use reiser in detriment of ext3 [12:28] (ive thinked in squash, but it dont mount in r/w mode, i guess) === SempreFi is now known as VietWarr [12:29] Hello everyone. I want to use Ubuntu Netbook Remix desktop envoirement but I have a question. If I install Netbook Remix desktop envoirement can I select standard desktop from Netbook Remix desktop selection menu? Thank you. [12:30] Turbolinux: You will be able to install it. [12:30] Turbolinux: waht do you mean by "standard desktop"? [12:30] if someone know a way to mount in r/w mode a another compressed fs with ubuntu support... :] [12:30] Turbolinux: You can install the ubuntu-desktop pacakge if you want. [12:30] Turbolinux: but its a bit of an annoyance changeing from one to the other.. its doable however. Just not as easy as it should be [12:30] today i had a huge headache switching from kubuntu-netbook to kubuntu-desktop [12:31] DasEi: uhm, wouldn't I need a working TTY for that? [12:31] bbb8: yea. they really need to work on the select netbook or desktkop interfaces.. [12:31] had to delete the .kde stuff [12:31] they do [12:31] Mrokii: y, is it so borked you can't find anything ? [12:31] and then i had to add a symbolic link in autostart of .kde [12:32] DasEi: totally [12:32] to plasma-desktop [12:32] Zaddy: chroot in / , do : http://php.about.com/od/learnmysql/ss/mysql_backup.htm [12:32] i installed ubuntu and edubuntu as extra. can i make the distro edubuntu or at least how can ichange the splash screen to edubuntu [12:32] The normal Ubuntu desktop MASARUwota. So selecting can be a bit difficult, is it right? [12:33] Mrokii: is this any special console you are using ? [12:33] i dont know what ubuntu netbook remix uses as a login manager so idk [12:33] where is the port scanner app in ubuntu? [12:33] Anybody knows how change the number of entries in "Locals->Recent documents"? [12:33] Help me please [12:34] DasEi, oh, I see [12:34] that makes sense [12:34] let me try that [12:34] meatbun: "the port scanner app"? afaik there is more than one [12:34] DasEi: Special in which way? I am still kind of a newbie on Linux/Ubuntu and am using a standard Ubuntu-system. [12:34] bbb8, you want to use default kubuntu desktop? [12:34] Slart: arg... [12:35] hi guys! i'm having a problem with gnome-do. Sometimes, when i start it, i get a crash, other times, it doesn't happen :s when i try to start gnome-do in a terminal i get these errors: http://pastebin.com/m43f414d1 [12:35] yea i did, petsounds but i already fixed it, .... what's your solution petsounds ? [12:35] ma3x sudo apt-get install edubuntu-desktop [12:35] can you explain me what is wrong and how can i fix it? Because i even can't change gnome-do settings, because i can't start it [12:36] iflema: i installed it but the ubuntu xsplash is still there. i want edubuntu splash [12:36] bbb8, just remove plasma-netbook, kubuntu-netbook, kubuntu-netbook-default-settings and reboot ;) [12:36] how can i do that [12:36] ma3x: theres a tool called 'epidermis' (not in the repos) that can install/set other themes fro that stuff.. [12:36] meatbun: nmap , knocker,pnscan.. and more [12:36] yea petsounds just figured a bit late about the plasma-netbook thing.... i removed kubuntu-netbook, it didn't go with it obviously [12:36] ma3x: there may be some other ways as well to change it.. but i dont worry too muich about the silly splash stuff [12:36] DasEi: thx i will try one of them [12:37] chroot'ing didn't seem to help, it says "Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)" [12:37] Mrokii: for just a regular kb, try to comment out the section in xorg.conf (assuming you use karmic) [12:37] and mysqld throws several errors [12:37] bill_: I think it is debian, i hope you are still here.... [12:37] Dr_Wills you said it can be a bit difficult. So selecting can make problem, am I right? [12:38] anyone owns a fujitsu L1010Q notebook? [12:38] Mrokii: karmic ? [12:38] DasEi: yep [12:38] Mrokii: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [12:38] ma3x try maybe install edubuntu-artwork [12:38] Turbolinux: theres just some annoyanced you have to watch out for. settings in teh UNR vs the normal desktop can cause things to not work as well as they should [12:39] bill_: are you here, i didn't noticed your message... [12:39] Mrokii: put a '#' (wo quotes) in front of kb-lines, save xorg, restart gdm [12:39] w/o [12:40] hi all [12:40] I understand. Thank you for your Dr_Wills. [12:41] Mrokii: when done (!!will log you off desktop!!) sudo gdm restart [12:41] hi guys! i'm having a problem with gnome-do. Sometimes, when i start it, i get a crash, other times, it doesn't happen :s when i try to start gnome-do in a terminal i get these errors: http://pastebin.com/m43f414d1 [12:41] DasEi: You mean in front of ' InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" ' and ' Identifier "Keyboard0" ' and ' Driver "keyboard" ' ? [12:41] Mrokii: if stuck, either rpeat cmd or reboot, yes, comment out this lines by # [12:42] is there a way to get announced in gnome every time a user connects via ssh [12:42] DasEi: Okay, will try. Brb. [12:42] cu [12:42] stigchristian: you could proberluy write a script or watch the output of the 'who' command. [12:43] do you have a little more details?

[12:48] didnt work out to well [12:48] xbuntu is fine :) [12:48] im just looking for lightweight apps [12:49] Abueleitor: no idea. my imac has no wireless [12:49] Abueleitor: check teh ppc ubuntu wiki pages [12:49] Hello @all. I'm looking for the possibility to turn of the feature that highlighting automatically copy text to clipboard. Searched by google but nothing found. Thank you [12:49] Guest48638: well, it's enabled by default, only it's a different clipboard from the "paste" one. try using the middle mouse button to paste from it. [12:50] faheem_: see above lik, you get it superfast if you just do a minimal-install with no soft and then put icewm on it, plus needed software packages, but really on 128 one more ram rocks the world more than a lighter desk [12:50] Guest48638: theres the 'clipboard' then theres the old 'x selection' buffer. gnome and kde often have tool/settings to make the 2 tghe same - or keep the seperate. Lookin to the clipboard manager tools in the repso [12:50] hello [12:50] cant put one more ram... only 1 slot on the laptop [12:50] like i said DasEi this thing is ancient :) [12:51] Anybody knows how change the number of entries in "Locals->Recent documents"? [12:51] hummm, ok i will see, but in general do you think its faster than with mac os or slower because i did not have time to make benchmarks [12:51] ma3x usplash themes configurable via an app called startupmanager [12:51] LjL, Guest48638, Dr_Willis: Parcellite comes default these days tho, and it has the option to grab highlight as well as ctrl+c [12:51] faheem_: well, if it runs abov e a gig, sure can do 256 or more [12:51] Abueleitor: my PPC imac is so old and slow.. I find OSx faster on it [12:51] DasEi: ok.. im using xubuntu, cant i just configure it to stop using xfce and start using icewm [12:51] DasEi: Okay, that broke something, as it seems. I am running in low graphics-mode at the moment. [12:52] faheem_: yes [12:52] faheem_: if you install icewm - the liogin manager should allow you to select a icewm session [12:52] a software similar to dance e jay for linux? [12:52] Guest48638: that would be the little clipboard in your tray... rightclick and go into the settings [12:52] DasEi: I got a grey requester, saying "Problem parsing the config file" and "error parsing the configfile" [12:52] humm, ok thx. i will post my own tests so everyone can compare. [12:52] Dr_Willis: im still a total noob to thisand have no idea what yo just said lol [12:52] faheem_: install icewm package.. look at the login screen menus [12:53] Dr_Willis: thanks... much better ;) [12:53] faheem_: uninstallaing xubuntu-desktop will lower backgraund taskas, though [12:53] faheem_: yiou proberly wont like icewm [12:53] why is that Dr_Willis [12:53] My question is for beginners [12:53] faheem_: because its not a 'desktop' its a 'window manager' [12:53] But I cant find [12:53] gleizer: http://tips4linux.com/turn-off-or-limit-the-recent-documents-feature-in-ubuntu/ [12:54] Dr_Willis: i have no idea between the difference of a desktop and window manger [12:54] Mrokii: that's strange on karmic ; can you read enough to edit again ? [12:54] faheem_: and i imagine you wont like icewm.. since its just a window manager. [12:54] faheem_: install it and see.. [12:54] DasEi: yep. Should I put the backup of xorg.conf in the x11-folder? [12:54] Dr_Willis: once installed i can log out of the session and go into xfce if i dont like it correct? [12:55] faheem_: anyway, a 1,2 ghz / 256 can run a simple ubuntu, too, though not 20 tasks and 4 vm's plus flash at at once [12:55] i've just installed ubuntu 9.10 but there are no wireless or any other connection visible under network manager [12:55] how can i change my ssh password ? [12:56] ruk: Read the ssh-manual perhaps? [12:56] man ssh [12:56] Mrokii: aaah, nice , you got a backup, no, complete delete the altered xorg conf, try to start without it again [12:56] DasEi: seriously speaking your missing the point, laptop is too slow to run even the install process, left it overnight it was still on 22% [12:56] ruk: the ssh password? Meaning the password for the machine you're ssh-ing into? [12:57] faheem_: that's another issue then, the specs are alright, if the bios/compatabiltiy or the cd drive/cd is, is sth else [12:57] DasEi: That will probably still put me into low graphics-mode as I have an altered xorg.conf already (nvidia-driver installed). [12:57] faheem_: the login manager secren has a sessions menu that should show all window managers and desktops isntalled.. [12:57] i've just installed ubuntu 9.10 but there are no wireless or any other connection visible under network manager [12:57] oCean_: yup [12:57] ruk: once logged in, just type "passwd" [12:57] how can i connect to my wireless [12:57] DasEi: nevertheless xubuntu is working fine and i'd rather not mess around ubuntu [12:57] Mrokii: yep, that'll hang then, so sudo cp it back [12:58] atif: start here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [12:58] faheem_: with older hardware the alternate installer fixes many problems [12:58] hi guys! i'm having a problem with gnome-do. Sometimes, when i start it, i get a crash, other times, it doesn't happen :s when i try to start gnome-do in a terminal i get these errors: http://pastebin.com/m43f414d1 [12:58] oCean_: done, thanks [12:59] faheem_: if its that old and slow. You may want to use just a window manager then - like icewm or flwm [12:59] hello, i want to type a character which is the alt+32 in windows. is there any way i can find the same in ubuntu? [12:59] DasEi: never looked at the alternte downlload will look into it [12:59] faheem_: and learn to use the shell for the more complex tasks [12:59] Thanks [12:59] I will teste [12:59] DasEi: Okay, I copied the correct xorg.conf back into place. [13:00] Dr_Willis: well my main issue comes with leaving the pc on idle and when i want to use it i have to reboot therwise it moves way to slow [13:00] hi [13:00] Mrokii: is it an usb keyboard ß [13:00] ? [13:00] faheem_: that made no sence to me at all.... [13:01] DasEi: Nope, it's an Apple Extended Keyboard II (adb-port, therefore connected via an adb-adaptor). [13:02] Mrokii: ahaar, that's why x has to be loaded , that's a kb-issue then [13:02] Dr_Willis: sorry still a noob ;)... just moved over from windows 2 months back, the shell being the terminal ? [13:02] DasEi: okay. [13:03] Mrokii: I think I got five 'broken board here, all just missing few functions.. if you type regulary, you go up the wall, just for tty.. look around [13:04] DasEi: shell is the same as terminal correct? [13:04] yes, see [13:04] !terminal [13:04] 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 [13:04] DasEi: I am not sure I understand what you wanted to say with that last sentences, heh [13:05] Mrokii: keyboards are cheap or even less, you need a standard one to use tty [13:05] DasEi: I want no cheap one. I want one with mechanical switches, that's the whole purpose I use this old keyboard :) [13:06] Mrokii: daily use / tty, just a thought, speaking from my budget :-D [13:06] parasurama [13:07] DasEi: I have already looked into modern keyboards and there are two that would satisfy my demands :) both around 100 Euros, probably [13:07] holaas [13:07] un favor como puedo ver archivos compartidos desde la consola con samba [13:07] Mrokii: that I'd buy a new board for, nvm [13:07] !es | julios [13:07] julios: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [13:08] which channel should i goto for ssh discussions? [13:08] DasEi: Yes, but I absolutely hate most of the new keyboards with a truely bad feeling when typing. [13:08] ruk: what kind of question do you have about ssh? [13:08] ruk: you could ask here? [13:08] Any forumadmin or mod here from ubuntu forums? My account has gone missin for some strange reason. [13:09] Lathund: #ubuntuforums would be the place to go, but be patient. [13:09] Pici: Ah, thanks. [13:10] Mrokii: your choice, we are becoming offtopic, I got one with backlight, cheap platics, good writing (and still all keys working, let's see) [13:11] I am getting an error message on my the laptop that my friend gave me as a present. After turning on the power it says: Bad RTC battery, bad check sum (CMOS), check system. Then press [F1] key. Any ideas? Ubuntu 9.10 is installed. [13:11] Myrtti: i have got an ssh account. now i need to host my app on the site.i was trying to get the bzr branch of launchpad but i am getting this error: http://pastebin.com/d7b367b6c [13:11] how do i enable mms streaming on firefox? [13:12] ruk: oh, launchpad? [13:12] Myrtti: yup [13:12] I have a very annoying problem, was wondering if anyone's got any ideas. Every time I start a session to irc.freenode.net (regardless of client) I get two pages printed on the network printer. CUPS in debug mode shows nothing so it must be something being sent directly. [13:12] lol [13:13] CliffS, thats the best bug ever [13:13] i have the 3.0 version of VirtualBox and i want to upgrade it by a deb package i have of 3-1 version. how can i do that? do i remove 3.0 version and install 3.1 after that? [13:13] DasEi: Anyway, thanks for taking your time to help me. Will restart xorg now. Bye. [13:13] Paulo39, just update it, no need to remove [13:13] good luck [13:13] Parabola: I know it will be something obvious, I've just run out of ideas of where to look. [13:13] ruk: you could try #bzr, since your problem isn't really ssh but bzr [13:14] Parabola: but it isn't the repositories version, when i open the debian package with GDeb, it tells me that there is a conflict with vb 3.0 [13:15] a software similar to dance e jay? [13:15] CliffS: what sort of stuff prints out? [13:16] Bonjour, un serveur me semble étrange, je me demande si ce ne serait pas du phishing, puis-je parler à un admin? [13:16] Paulo39, ooo, then yeah, an uninstall should be fine [13:16] Paulo39, it wont remove your VMs [13:16] ok [13:16] diddy: couldn't be clearer, replace battery [13:16] sorry, i guess there is a phishing against ubuntu, is there an admin? [13:16] i was gonna translate lol [13:17] Korigan: see in #ubuntu-ops perhaps [13:17] thanks Dr_Willis [13:17] Dr_Willis: Same every time: A club symbol, a smiley, a club, two smileys, a corner and a backslash on one sheet. [13:17] i've installed ubuntu 9.10 on my dell mini 9 with a usb stick (since it doesn't have a cdrom) and i am trying to install bcmwl-kernel-source from pool > restricted > b but the packet maneger gives me the error (Error: Dependency is not suitable: dkms) .. what seems to be the problem here? [13:17] CliffS: so just a few characters.. thats very odd./ [13:17] I plugged my ethernet cable into the wrong port of the two on my computer. I have manually set my configuration for the normal port. When I used the other port the network-manger seems to have edited these settings and now always attempts to use that port. I have managed to fix the settings but I now must ifup eth0 before getting any ip. Also after leaving the computer for a while it loses the ip. [13:18] Korigan: phishing ? makes me curious [13:18] CliffS: id be curious if it does it with different irc clients. [13:18] Dr_Willis: The other sheet is diamond, smiley, upsilon, sygma, corner piece and backslash [13:18] yup, it's packages.ubunut.com [13:18]
hello [13:18] they speak about ubuntu, appear like ubuntu, but just change the url :S [13:18] CliffS: also be interesting test to see if it does it IF you stop the cups service. [13:19] Dr_Willis, dont think it would be able to print [13:19] Dr_Willis: Tried it with scrollz ... it does it when switching to irc.freenode.net. And yes, it does it with the printer disabled. Hang on I'll try killing curl completely [13:19] lol wow [13:19] Parabola: if data is getting sent straight to the priner port it could.. but that may only work for parrel port printers === david is now known as Guest22950 [13:19] true [13:20] CliffS: it ONLY does it when you connect to the freenode irc network? [13:20] DasEin, how much is such a battery? [13:20] DasEi, how much is such a battery? [13:20] Dr_Willis: Yup. It's a network printer. [13:20] i've installed ubuntu 9.10 on my dell mini 9 with a usb stick (since it doesn't have a cdrom) and i am trying to install bcmwl-kernel-source from pool > restricted > b but the packet maneger gives me the error (Error: Dependency is not suitable: dkms) .. what seems to be the problem here? [13:20] diddy: not more then 5 Euro, prbly less [13:21] How do you stop curl on Ubuntu? [13:21] DasEi, I have never replaced on. Is it difficult to do with a laptop? [13:21] well night all. [13:21] diddy: depends on type, there are real chargeable battery, but mostly just a cell similar to clocks, just bigger [13:22] nas [13:22] como me conecto a ubuntu-es [13:22] luxos: /join #ubuntu-es [13:22] diddy: depends on model, go to a comp store and ask for help, if less a crafts-oid [13:22] mount: only root can mount /dev/sdb1 on /media/usbdrive.

[13:25] Hello. I'm running mytop and it keeps ending prematurely, so it runs about 1 or 2 cycles, then just quits, checked out bug.launchpad.net but couldn't find anything, no errors or anything are being outputted, everything installed is from packages only. It's Jaunty, anyone any clue to what would cause it? [13:25] atif, how many interface you get?

[13:39] atif, no need to reboot [13:39] atif, no need [13:39] alright [13:39] k i thought if i am running it on ubuntu there would be something specific but if it has its own support i can try that [13:39] atif, ok give it try, maybe you have a luck [13:40] Akkernight open nautilus in the properties on the media tab [13:40] atif, [13:40] what about person's ability?

[13:41] psycho_oreos sure, i'll read [13:41] Akkernight click on the places menu and click on home folder, then in the menu bar of nautilus select edit then preferences.. then select the media tab [13:42] ouyes rebooted! same problem [13:42] DasEi, It will startup with no problem? [13:42] steveccc: I'm not too much into hardware issues, so you need to do your own research [13:42] i believe i would need to install drivers [13:42] steveccc: To simplify it, yes, but I think the celeron dual-core is better than the sempron. Not an ubuntu-related question though [13:42] AceKing, depends how similar the systems are [13:42] AceKing: **prbly** , if the hardware isn't absolut exotic [13:42] iflema, I'm guessing I need to download nautalus?

I'm in /home, and here are no files, only folders [13:46] AceKing: so either use a server kernel or less then 4gig ram, including graphics [13:46] atif, 14e4:4315 is the pid wait a moment, il find the driver for you [13:46] ouyes thanks [13:46] atif, are you reading the link I posted? from second page onwards?

[13:47] DasEi, I'm glad you told me that [13:47] iflema, what is file edit view tools then? Nothing is called that on my screen o.O [13:47] atif, should post info on how to get wl working [13:47] Hello, in my compiz manager, under animations under the "random pool" list of animations I see there are many missing. This happened after reinstalling compiz to solve an issue. I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 karmic koala [13:47] AceKing: you can't change 32 into 64, if you buy new, modern hw, 64 bit will be standard, yes all together 4gb max on 32 generic [13:48] !PAe [13:48] hello guys, how can I recover grub2???? [13:48] DasEi: if you think of installing karmic then you can install 32 version with linux-generic-pae kernel [13:48] !pae | AceKing, the server kernel has it per default [13:48] atif, http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php please read the readme.txt file first [13:48] Can anyone pls help me to sort this thing out? [13:48] DasEi, I appreciate your help! === ubuntu_ is now known as blackxored [13:49] hello guys how can i recover grub2 [13:49] ??? [13:49] Akkernight open the home folder... up the top of the window youll see the words in a line file edit view go bookmarks tabs help = select edit then preferences... then the media tab... unless u in kde4 or xubuntu or something. [13:49] i'm booting from the live cd [13:49] ouyes oh thanks, let me try [13:49] !grub2 | blackxored [13:49] blackxored: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [13:49] atif, just follow the readme.txt instructions, good luck, tell me the result ok? [13:50] DasEi, Just out of curiosity, all the software that runs on 32 bit wont run on 64 bit right? [13:50] ouyes sure, i will, thanks [13:50] AceKing: for that, I'd take the 32 generic over to new machine, then install server (pae) kernel there, so once get a suitable initramfs [13:50] ouyes, I doubt he's going to get far unless he knows how to compile drivers [13:50] zvacet, I think is a bit trickier than that, I have lvm setup and encrypted home [13:50] iflema, ok done [13:50] DasEi, Ok, I will do that [13:50] psycho_oreos, i told him to read the readme file [13:50] jve: why do you want to remove it? [13:50] AceKing: most packets provide same functions, and you can trick the 32 libs in 64 [13:51] psycho_oreos, he will do well [13:51] blackxored: sorry you should say that [13:51] zvacet, yes [13:51] AceKing: but no 64 in 32, o' course [13:51] Myrti: Does it matter? [13:51] ouyes, and the other thing is that there is wl driver available either in the repository or the cd, so there wasn't any need to compile a driver :) [13:51] blackxored: I don't know that one but I'm sure someone does [13:51] zvacet, I was installing to a slave this, and probably misplace the grub installation step, now neither would boot [13:52] jve: atleast in grub (haven't checked grub2) it's possible to make the recoverymode require a password. I'd not remove it, just make it a bit more difficult to access [13:52] iflema, what am I supposed to do in here? [13:52] DasEi, When I installed the 32 bit version it was because I thought I couldn't get as many things to run in 64 [13:52] Hi guys! I have installed daviCAL. When I have logged in and make a new user with the admin account. It go back to the log in screen. [13:52] psycho_oreos, but this is precisely right driver for his lap, [13:52] Someone who know what the problem is? [13:53] ouyes, so was the link that I posted, oh well *shrugs* [13:53] Myrtti: I want to boot into single mode without the recovery menu. [13:53] Akkernight lol... oh i dont know... argh... auto-run a dvd maybe [13:53] AceKing: also could de-install your current graphics driver for less hassle on new machine, so it'll start up with vesa then;; less apps in 64 is a more recent probs, I don't know more than a handfull and you can drag 32 libs in 64 if really have to [13:54] psycho_oreos, this is the official driver( i do not know if it is open , but it must work well) [13:54] iflema, there's nothing that is install a game or anything [13:54] ouyes, its not open driver, and it comes with source plus a few binary blobs.. [13:55] DasEi, Thank you for all the info. If I have any problems I'll try to find you in the channel [13:55] AceKing: nice is to have 9.o4, move over, get right kernel, do a dist upgrade, have it tight on again [13:55] AceKing: I'm the only one, yoyo , np [13:55] psycho_oreos, sometimes we do not have another choice but to solve the problem now [13:56] DasEi, LOL [13:56] hehe, good luck [13:56] DasEi, Thanks! [13:57] hey guys. i was setting up my kyocera printer, but i got some issues with it. the printer is ignoring all settings. it is printing in duplex always for example ...is there anyone who can help? [13:57] ouyes, what I'm trying to say was that there was a driver pre-built for that in ubuntu's repository or cd, its the exact same driver from the site except that its all made and ready to go.. the one on the site is the source of the driver and it won't compile well out of the box without the necessary tools when the one pre-made doesn't need anything of the sort [13:57] psycho_oreos, i am worrid about he cannot compile the driver without errors, there needs some packages [13:57] Akkernight http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1300658 [13:58] ouyes, which is why the link that I posted tells one how to grab the pre-made one, so there's no need to go compiling, etc [13:59] When I install and configure the vlan package on Karmic - when I reboot my eth0 doesn't come up until I comment my vlan stuff out in my interfaces file. Ideas? It worked in Jaunty.

[14:00] Hey guys, how can I get the normal GNOME desktop after installing netbook remix? === BlouBlou is now known as xD [14:00] faemir: check the preferences for "desktop switcher" [14:00] you can select classic there [14:00] ouyes, not for this case, that I am fairly certain. 1) because the pre-made driver I'm sure will work, he's not the only user facing this issue 2) he doesn't sound knowledgeable, so this would mean a steep learning curve for him [14:01] tyoc: correct fstab === rootEth is now known as r00tEth [14:01] psycho_oreos, 2) SO DO ME [14:01] forceflow, it says it cannot install it in the current data?

[15:03] Brixius, i have no idea, but i'd gues its /etc/passwd === m0ar is now known as Guest28612 [15:04] nibbler if I take a HDD I had for a windows XP system that was nothing but a rag and drop HDD and put it as a slave drive on my Ubuntu PC would it delete anyhting off the HDD or can I see the files and possibly burn them to a CD so I can use them on my other windows PC? === jofo_ is now known as jofo [15:05] nibbler: which would make sense if it displayed everyone in /etc/passwd but it doesn't show users like root, daemon, sys. mail, etc... === Guest28612 is now known as m0ar [15:06] anyone have a problem with frostwire, it doenst want to play mp3s. ubuntu plays em, but frostwire doesnt. and it toggles through my sonds uncontrollably [15:06] hi can someone provide me with some help... ive recently installed some package updates via the update manager, but after rebooting my screen res dropped to 640x480, my monitor was recognized as a crt but it's an LCD also all my "windows" have no window border [15:07] Brixius, i'd guess it loks for IDs>1000 [15:07] I hate this new login screen, in karmic that display's usernames it goes against everything from a security standpoint. Let's just give away the user names, that way you only have to guess the password.... [15:07] Brixius: uid >= 1000 [15:07] UbuntuN00B, should work, no OS will overwrite any partition or data while booting but its own (like /tmp or stuff) [15:07] magicvibe: how did you installed the graphic drivers you where using [15:07] ? [15:07] Brixius, i totally agree. if you find out how to disable it, tell me please [15:08] ne === tmk is now known as alokito [15:08] hi, i downloaded ubuntu-9.10-alternate-i386.iso.torrent from http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#alternate in order to make a command-line system installation, but when i installed i get graphical user interface anyway... just the installation was in text-mode. In the first menu, after choose the language, i press F4 but there was only the optiion "Normal" [15:08] Is there a way to measure CPU temperature in Ubuntu? [15:09] jenda, yep, its all about "sensors" [15:09] nibbler so even if the file types are not Ubuntu file types it will still show and I can use a burning program to back them up to sent to a PC? sounds great :) [15:09] !minimal | Paulo39 if you don't want any X, use this [15:09] Paulo39 if you don't want any X, use this: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [15:09] erUSUL; i have an nvidia gf fx 5200 128mb and when i installed ubuntu it recognized it very well... but when it came to using advanced GUI from the "change desktop background" options it had said that i would need to install so n so, click yes or no to continue [15:09] UbuntuN00B, yep. you'll get a new entry in "places" for every partition which you can access then [15:09] Paulo39, the alternate CD is just a different installer, unless you explicitly tell it to install command line, it won't. anyway, at this point, i guess you could just remove X and xlibs...?

[15:11] for gnu octave for example [15:12] magicvibe: it would be usefull to see the output of « grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log » and ~/.xsession-errors [15:12] xsssx: probably not, but you should ask in the Knoppix channel anyway === damn3d is now known as Damn3d [15:12] drizzt_, they do, what's the bug [15:12] nice, this is what it say's on the ubuntu wiki page about vulnerabilities: There are many different types of vulnerabilities, some of which are denial of service, gaining user or root privileges, data loss, and information disclosure. Seems like the login screen falls under "Information Disclosure" [15:12] I have a problem installling amsn 0.98.1-1. when I launch it after install it appears: Theres a problem loading a module of aMSN, Tkcixmage couldn't load the file tkcximage.so, wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32 [15:13] hwilde: what's the relevance of server version in my situation? [15:14] erUSUL; well that would be nice, i agree lol but when i open a terminal it shhows nothing but a blank white box [15:14] Paulo39, server version is command line only (no gui) so you have to download the server version cd to install that version [15:15] magicvibe: try « alt + f2 » run « metacity --replace » [15:15] does server 9.10 use grub2? [15:15] hwilde: ok, i see. but is a bit strange there is no way to have command-line system without choose the server version [15:15] blendmaster1024: Yes [15:15] boring. [15:15] Paulo39, there is, just install the desktop verison, then remove the desktop. [15:16] Paulo39: it's possible with the minimal CD. i thought it was with the alternate CD too, but that might have changed. [15:16] why dosent thunar show a progress bar when im moving/copying stuff to removable drives??? [15:16] erUSUL; wow that was ...simple lmao, it seems to have restored everything immediately, minus the advanced gui [15:16] maverick__, progress bar costs extra.

[15:20] Paulo39, it's a different kernel, but they share a lot of packages [15:20] Paulo39: i think the main difference is that it has a different kernel, but i don't know the details [15:20] magicvibe: yes; you can use pastebinit [15:20] okay, once install then, > grep EE ... | pastebinit ? [15:20] nibbler, it's annoying because it happens sporadically, one minute switching between tty's will be fine, the next the numlock key won't even work [15:21] does anyone know why my frostwire doesnt play mp3s?

[15:22] genii: kk..let me try [15:22] nibbler. it isnt playing mps when i double click, just no sound is coming out. and it will go through my playlist doing nothing [15:23] mp3s [15:23] areay: probably it is coused by the graphic driver. what is the graphic chipset on those machines ? [15:23] hwilde; what does this -i do? [15:23] erUSUL; http://pastebin.com/f395ec60b [15:23] magicvibe, man pastebinit -i is for a file [15:23] jriehle87, maybe its outputting to the wrong device, check some properties, settings or so?

[16:20] JuJuBee: yes [16:20] Theuntje, so, you cannot *read* the files? why do you want to move them? [16:21] obiwan_: two keys? you mean why there is one public key and one private key?

[16:24] perlsyntax: well, it will either be in /lib/$kernel-version/modules or you'll need to get it from a third party [16:24] ikonia, there was all this debian and ubuntu dev processes, but I still remember you :P [16:25] how do i do that [16:25] blakkheim: I would prefer separate files, but either way...

[16:26] JuJuBee: it will probably work just fine, or you could compile from the sources [16:27] I know that's not the place, but where do you folks download movies sound tracks? [16:27] lol [16:27] yeah erUSUL , but at least in terminal you can change that behaviour. seahorse won't let you do a elgamal 4096 single key. but anyway, it's already done so i can't change it. Question is, should i revoke the 1024 key and keep using the 4096 for everything, or should i do what it says about signing docs with the 1024 one?

[17:27] goose: you need to create a partition for ubuntu and do what i just said. grub has to be on the ubuntu partition rather than the MBR [17:28] CAiRO: if you want to know something about lucid ask in #ubuntu+1 [17:28] ubottu, thanks. but I have to telinit 2 to get ssh, etc. started [17:28] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [17:28] erUSUL: ah, ok, i thought those 3 drivers were availble in other verions too and that you could just not install them in parallel [17:28] the release notes sound like that [17:29] CAiRO: nouveau is not aviable in karmic afaik ... [17:29] erUSUL, yes? [17:29] aaaaaaah, I understand. I need to create the partition *before* install Ubuntu. Correct, blakkheim? [17:29] ppm: yes to what? [17:29] you said something about runlevel [17:29] Hi, I want to wipe my external drive beofre passing it on to someone else. Is "sudo wipe /dev/sd(foo)" enough? [17:30] goose: the installer has a partition editor or you can do it beforehand, it's up to you [17:30] aar: no [17:30] anyone know terminal command to remove frostwire [17:30] sudo apt-get remove? [17:30] blakkheim: ok. then when I aptitude install grub, GRUB will automagically detect the two OS's, and do the rest? === Mud is now known as Mud|lunch [17:30] jriehle87: sudo aptituge purge frostwire [17:30] ppm: that in ubuntu there is no difference between a runlevel 2 3 or 4 and that telinit and the like may not work as spected becouse we now use upstart [17:30] blakkheim, any viable alternatives? [17:30] Question~ If I have a 8Gb USB stick that has files on it or if anyone knows what Mojopac is I have it installed on a USb stick can I still us the USB Startup Disc Creator and not loose my files on the USB like partition a spot on the USB but still be able to use it as a normal USB storage. [17:30] goose: grub is on the default install, that's not what i meant [17:30] aar: DBAN [17:31] aar: unless you have reason to believe they'll attempt advanced data recovery processes on it, it should be enough. [17:31] blakkheim, thanks, i'll check it out [17:31] sudo: aptituge: command not found [17:31] LjL, ok thanks [17:31] yeah i can't figure it out. dpkg is just chilling out while init sits at 100% CPU usage when trying to configure dbus. [17:31] goose: grub is only going to be used to boot ubuntu, it will not work with mac os [17:31] jriehle87: aptitude not aptittuge [17:32] sry [17:32] blakkheim: my main concern then is choosing what OS to boot from; like GRUB does with windows/ubuntu [17:32] blakkheim: what does DBAN do that wipe doesn't? [17:32] goose: that's what rEFIt is for, install it in os x before installing ubuntu [17:32] GG19, welcome :) [17:32] goose: it will create a graphical startup option to choose what OS you want [17:32] nibbler, hey welcome to you as well [17:32] is there a good website for terminal commands? [17:32] !cli > jriehle87 (jriehle87, see the private message from ubottu) [17:33] nibbler, do you know the answer to my previous question? [17:33] blakkheim: ooooh, okay. so: install rEFIt, make a partition for Ubuntu, install Ubuntu to said partition, epic win! [17:34] GG19, the creator formats the stick [17:34] goose: pretty much, but when you're at the final stage of the installer you need to click the "advanced" button and make sure grub is installed to the ubuntu partition rather than just /dev/sda [17:34] nibbler, thank you thats all I needed to know, I'd of hated to try and loose everything on it. [17:34] ok. thank you blakkheim! [17:35] hi [17:35] nibbler, is it possible to use the USB Startuo disc creator to put it on a flash card or is that not practical since you cant boot from a falsh drive unlike a USB stick? [17:36] how do I make a module load at boot time? [17:37] nibbler, I suppose its only USB storage devices so maybe even a USB HDD would be more possible. [17:37] DexterF, put the module name in /etc/modules [17:37] IM LOVING LINUX [17:37] DexterF: put its name at the end of /etc/modules [17:37] im so happy i made the change [17:37] thanks [17:38] DexterF: echo modulename | sudo tee -a /etc/modules === jon is now known as Guest19587 [17:39] jriehle87, this is a great reference for cli programs http://oreilly.com/linux/command-directory/ [17:39] jriehle87: obviously never owned an ATi card, huh? [17:40] DexterF: yea i have [17:40] ati radeon x1550 [17:40] now i have a nvid 9800gt [17:40] do i have to have windows installed before installing Linpus? thats what it seems on their website. before ya get crazy and say OFFTOPIC! there doesn't seem to be any good channel for this question [17:41] i have a question, in GNOME i can access my networked (M$) computer just fine ...how can i do that from CLI [17:41] 大家好 [17:41] jriehle87: ever tried to install a newer nv driver than shipped with the distro? [17:41] McL0VIN: you'll need to make a CIFS mount [17:41] !smb | McL0VIN [17:41] McL0VIN: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[17:41] McL0VIN, smbclient or smbmount [17:41] question: can i do a SUDO APT-GET gtkgnutella === root_ is now known as Guest30954 [17:42] jriehle87: Case is important, as is spelling: sudo apt-get install gtk-gnutella [17:42] oorah: Having windows installed already is not a prerequisite to installing linux. But if you intend to have both, putting Windows first means the bootloader installed from Linux sees both [17:42] GG19, sure [17:42] Pici: thanks [17:43] jriehle87: yes, but won't do a thing. the packagename is gtk-gnutella. (aptitude search gnutella would have told ya) [17:43] genii, go to www.linpus.com, click the download link, then you will see what i mean. there is no iso, just a .exe installer for dual boot [17:43] oorah: why linpus...? [17:43] seen some debate on the usage of term folder vs. directory in Ubuntu. what's the consensus on which is the correct term? [17:43] what does sudo stand for? [17:44] /msg NickServ identify volkmannstephan@googlemail.com [17:44] jriehle87: Superuser do. [17:44] oorah: This is the Ubuntu support :) But if it's .exe then that means Windows, yes [17:44] jriehle87: "do as superuser" [17:44] jriehle87, substitute user do [17:44] DexterF, i wanna try it out [17:44] ok thanks [17:44] jriehle87: SuperUserDO [17:44] appreciate this channels help alot [17:44] sudo does more than just elevate one to the superuser [17:45] genii, on the website there is no iso like i said, only a .exe installer. this is the first time i've ever seen a distro that has to have windows installed first to be installed [17:45] vhenry93, directory would be a more appropriate unix term - but either goes [17:45] vhenry93, directory is a FS thing, and a folder is your DE thing, they're not equivalent [17:45] ok, thanks. writing an article and didn't want to get blasted:) [17:45] oorah: Probably some equivelent of our "Wubi" install of Ubuntu === Mud|lunch is now known as Mud [17:46] genii, so if i wanna try it out, would you recommend goin that tunnel route? seems invasive lol [17:46] oorah: But since this is not Linpus support, maybe find someone at their site or a channel on IRC where they are more familiar with that distribution to ask [17:46] is this the proper command to remove xine, sudo aptitude purge xine? [17:47] genii, they don't seem to have anyone on their irc lol i was the only person there [17:47] oorah, this is #ubuntu support [17:47] jriehle87: "sudo apt-get remove --purge xine" may also work / be more appropriate - not sure if i just made that up though ^_^ [17:47] jriehle87: depends: purge removes the config files, too. aptitude remove only removes the package but keeps the config in case you might need it later [17:47] mezquitale, i know [17:47] oorah: Maybe ask in the main ##linux channel here [17:48] DexterF: i see [17:48] genii, thats impossble, that channel is always full [17:48] DexterF, jriehle87 -- no "purge" removes the config files too [17:48] so recently i ran in an issue with my bluetooth device after an update, according to hci the usb device i have is down, and im getting the dbus error 132 when i try to run blueman-manager via term and hciconfig hci0 up, any ideas? [17:49] I am not able to play avi files in any media players in ubuntu [17:49] can anybody help me [17:49] jriehle87: good to see someone tries to grab the bull by the command line :) [17:49] I just formatted a new laptop with Ubuntu 9.10, everything worked except sound ( SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) ). I installed linux-backports-modules-alsa-karmic-generic and this fixed sound so my speakers work. When I plugin headphones... the sound still plays through the speakers and not the headphones. I am plugging the jack into the right port, although I tried them all for kicks. No matter what it only plays through the speakers. How can I fix this? [17:49] sujith_s80: no - you need to tell us what you want to do :) [17:49] sujith_s80: What does the output of "file file.avi" give you?

[17:54] sujith_s80: w32codecs [17:54] sujith_s80: yeah you'll need to tell us what type the video is.

[18:29] Krabmeat: You're getting an error message because you created a keyboard shortcut, setting ctrl-c as the key and it doesn't point to a valid application. If you press the remove button when your custom command is hilighted then you will not have an error anymore. Then we can discuss why you thought you needed to do this in the first place. [18:29] person, ubuntu users even. :) -- i doubt #debian is *that* lethal though [18:30] topyli: In Banshee (all distros), I get a massive list of albums - one item for each artist, it seems. [18:30] pici: one problem now, i cant find it to remove and i still get the message [18:30] Krabmeat: It should be at the bottom of the keyboard shortcuts list [18:31] Pici: it is not, as soon as i tried to make one without a command it got erased or something. [18:31] evenin' all [18:31] person, if you want to discuss media players with ubuntu folks, please join #ubuntu-offtopic instead of this channel [18:32] Krabmeat: Odd.

[18:36] after install menu, i get black screen, cd continue to install but i see nothing in screen, i know there is a kernel option to solve this problem but i dont remember, anyone knows this kind of problem ? [18:36] benklein: libxml2-dev is probably what you want in this case [18:37] i tried option from install menu (F4) but nothing work [18:37] Krabmeat: Do you still have the keyboard shortcuts window open? [18:38] Pici: no should i reopen it [18:38] Krabmeat: Can you? And then see if it gives an error when you use ctrl-c ? [18:39] pici: yep still does [18:40] no idea ??

[18:52] toman, cheers, good luck :) [18:52] Hey, I know this is a simple problem because I've had it before but I can't remember how to fix it. VLC is player a video in a seperate window, not in the player itself. [18:52] Krabmeat: It should have told you the file that contained that shortcut. Are you sure that Copy was capitalized in the error message you were getting? [18:52] How do I make the video and the player controls in one window? === malnilion__ is now known as malnilion [18:52] nintnint: what player?

[18:53] Krabmeat: Okay, there is one other thing we can try. Can you press alt-f2 and then type gconf-editor and press enter [18:54] nvm what i said [18:54] Thanks for the thought though :) [18:54] doesn't one need a non-ubuntu version to get that though? [18:54] in ubuntu jaunty, with Catalyst 9.3 (fglrx 8.593) and all the necessary packages downgraded to use it, video playback tends to suddenly go crazy. It plays fine sometimes... other times the a/v gets way out of sync. once it breaks down it doesn't go back. this affects all video playing software. [18:54] nintnint, the video outputs don't all work with it, dunno why [18:54] pici: ok did that [18:54] aperson: ? [18:54] Which one do I want?

[18:55] blankheim: a lesson i have learned all too well. unfortunately i'm stuck with the card until i make enough money to buy and nvidia. [18:55] pici: yes [18:56] nintnint, grrr, mine is at 'default' so i can't tell [18:56] Krabmeat: Is there any sub key in there that is called Custom0 or similar? (on the left side, not the right where it says allowed_keys[]) [18:56] * saica is currently watching a video with no problems, after a reboot.. feels like the windows way of doing things.. [18:57] saica, likely all you needed to do was restart x, not restart :) [18:57] pici: It has a column that says Name and a column that says Value. Are you asking me what is in the volume column? [18:57] pici: Value* [18:57] hi, so i just installed ubuntu and then the proprietary driver for nvidia, but as soon as i restart X the resolution gets set too high and i cant access the nvidia tool to fix it === StariMoiPriatelu is now known as TiMePovika [18:57] Krabmeat: No, rather in the 'subfolders' of the keybindings folder [18:57] saica: linux is getting there.. slowly.. just wait a little longer and we'll have love-worms too ;) [18:58] aperson: restarted x many times. doing so causes the problem to go away for a few minutes... [18:58] love-worms? [18:58] pici: ok the subfolders are magnifier, onscreenkeyboard and screenreader [18:58] hi, how do i know what is the name of my local mysql database name? is there any way to know?

[18:59] i know i need a kernel option to solve this but i dont remember [18:59] newbie_, i think its in /var/lib/mysql [18:59] pici: still have the same error [18:59] theres a folder per database [18:59] hwildehow about using terminal? is that possible? [18:59] i hear great things about the open source drivers lately... but I have an RV516... which is too old of the new fglrx and too new for the open source... [18:59] why is brasero taking an eternity to burn a dvd iso? It has been 15min and hasn't even started burning? What is going on? [18:59] sheldon_, did you check the cd for errors? try reburning it at a lower speed [19:00] yes i try this [19:00] already same result [19:00] can anyone help me get my X up? [19:00] Krabmeat: Okay, go to Edit>Find enter Copy in the text field (with the capital C) check the two boxes and press find. [19:00] pici: can i just set the allowed_keys to default? [19:00] sheldon_, can it run the live cd ok? only the install fails ? [19:01] Krabmeat: What is it set to now? [19:01] no ths livecd runs, i heard sound from login screen but screen is already4 black [19:01] pici: the value is [] [19:01] ecs160, can you fill me on what's been happening to your X? recently i've had a lot of experience making x run when it doesn't want to. [19:01] pici: the find found no results [19:01] sheldon_, so the livecd also fails [19:01] hwilde yes [19:02] Krabmeat: You can enter something in there, then it will only use that custom keybinding (like if you have other entries in that keybinding folder that you want to use, or just something that doesnt exist so nothing would ever match) [19:02] I'm having trouble using middle click on 9.10 [19:02] but it doesnt fails, just i donc have screen [19:02] Krabmeat: er, I'm not sure if I explained that well, let me know if I need to rephrase it. [19:02] i dont see the screen, but install runs [19:02] ola [19:02] pici: so setting it to default wont do anything for me?

[19:05] shane2peru, you are probably transcoding the dvd into a compressed format and that is taking a long time. check your system resources see if your processor and memory are maxxing out [19:06] Krabmeat: Just edit the value and add something such as 'testing' in there and then see if ctrl-c errors [19:06] hwilde, it is an OpenSuse DVD downloaded, it is an iso as source, I guess I should have mentioned that, is that normal? [19:06] shane2peru, well you have two options 1) wait 2) cancel and start over. [19:07] hwilde, I usually use k3b in gnome, but seems like it is pulling in even more kde deps, so I got rid of it, [19:07] audio now poppy and ocassionally out of sync... (it's like the audio and video go for a little race... they catch up eventually, but the audio sprints off first and then the video skips around a corner to catch it...) [19:07] pici: still errors [19:07] Krabmeat: argh [19:07] Krabmeat: This is frustrating [19:07] Krabmeat: You do run gnome, right? [19:08] pici: listen, i am not entirely sure what gnome even is [19:08] hwilde, well, I guess my question is, is that normal for it to take that long? I have burnt other iso with brasero, and don't remember waiting that long, odd. [19:08] anyone know a good app to video tape ubuntu as well as gaming? [19:08] Krabmeat: Um. Do you see a menu at the top of your screen that says Applications Places System ? [19:08] shane2peru, dvds are big. [19:08] Hey Everyone, I deleted the directory /etc/postgresql thinking that on a re-install it would be created... It was created but the files were not.

Does anyone know a fix for this ? [19:12] seana: You need to purge the packages that those files are in (which may not be the main postgres one, but probably is in some -common one) [19:12] Saganbyte: look in your /etc/phpmyadmin directory for an apache.conf file [19:12] lolz [19:12] !lol|kenyo [19:12] kenyo: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis.

[19:20] seana: postgresql doesn't seem to like to properly purge the files so you can recreate the defaults, I believe I managed to get it to work by purging both postgresql-8.4 and postgresql-common, then deleting the /etc/postgresql and /etc/postgresql-common and then reinstalling successfully recreated those /etc directories [19:20] does ubuntu REMIX cause all windows to start MAXIMIZED ? === frangor is now known as pivot_ [19:21] trism: I'll give that a try again [19:21] Myrtti, :) I was working with gnome-bluetooth package... and it simply doesn't let me do the receive file from phone.. now i installed blueman, it removed the gnome-bluetooth package.. but file receive works.. === Claudiu is now known as numeledority [19:21] all my windows start MAXIMIZED !!!

What had to be done was to manually delete any files and directories that remained after the purge. During a purge there are still directories that remain.

I hate to say use google, but that's the only thing I can suggest. Simply search for "torrent sites" or something to that nature. Transmission is a good little application to have on Ubuntu. [20:08] Hydrosis, yes it is [20:08] ubuntu keeps playing sounds whenever firefox shows a popup. how can i disable that? [20:08] thanks Flannel and Pici. I'll head over to that channel [20:08] Hydrosis: i put it on microphone 1, when i cough or something the input level moves, i checked that first, but when i go into sound recorder no sound is being recorded :/ [20:08] infid: abp [20:09] ? [20:09] ad block plus [20:09] it might be because in sound recorder its recording from master ? [20:09] yo2boy: no i dont want a popup blocker, i want *ubuntu* to stop playing sound effects when windows pop up, etc [20:09] it does that little drumroll [20:09] mtaftm, doesnt surprise me. In my lone opinion, Ubuntu is garbage for sound recording. Maybe you should ask around for people involved with the Ubuntu Studio project (ubuntu for recording artists). They should be able to assist you. [20:09] po wpisaniu grub-update wywala błąd :/ grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /. === toga__ is now known as ToGa [20:10] ok thanks [20:10] hello, while copying a file from a NTFS external hdd to a usb key, ubuntu is very non-responsive [20:10] infid, I do not think that ubuntu plays sounds when windows popup in firefox. i've never heard of that before [20:10] jajec, sorry I dont speak Polish. I dont understand your error. [20:10] i never had that either but i am now hwilde [20:10] hwilde: for example when i switch to private browsing mode, it makes sounds [20:10] notk0: there is an overhead because ubuntu (ntfs3g specifically) has to do more work writing to ntfs [20:10] infid, I suspect you installed some type of plugin or addon in tifrefox that is making the noise. [20:10] infid, you can disable sounds in yoru sound preference setting [20:10] hwilde: i have not [20:11] infid, well, that is not default behavior. [20:11] Does anyone know if labtec works well with linux, i might go and get one now lol [20:11] thanks Hydrosis [20:11] How do I check if Java is installed and what version is it.. i want to check it so that i can install eclipse [20:11] hwilde: apparently it is, this is a fresh install [20:11] Installed ubuntuzilla in Ubuntu . "Check for updates" stopped working. Uninstalled ubuntuzilla. "update check" still doesn't work. How to keep firefox go with offiicial Ubuntu repo versions? [20:11] blakkheim but in the older versions I never had this problem. I could still use the system, now it literally becomes useless while copying [20:11] Sound Preferences > uncheck the "Enable window and button sounds" infid [20:11] even the clock can freeze for some time [20:11] thanks Hydrosis , it worked [20:11] No problem infid [20:11] I am thinking about reinstalling everything and going back to GRUB2 [20:12] yo [20:12] blackxored, also I am copying to a Fat partition, from a NTFS partition [20:12] Hydrosis: well disabling the sound theme worked, 'enable window and button sounds' was already unchecked [20:12] anybody for help? === Skywalker is now known as Guest43475 [20:12] can someone help walk me through using gparted to create a new 10 GiB partition? [20:12] freeagent5041, if you're planning on leaving Ubuntu for this release, I suggest Fedora. It's sexy this time 'round. [20:12] notk0, what does have to do with me, sorrY? [20:12] Does labtec webcam work in linux at all anyone ? [20:13] hydrosis: i aint leaving [20:13] goose, you need to be on a Live CD or a different partition than the one you're parting. [20:13] hehe. How do I change my wallpaper on kubuntu? I'm a gnome guy, but trying kde. [20:13] blackxored, sorry auto-completion choosed your name first [20:13] anybody for help pm please..

[20:13] !ask | Guest43475 [20:13] alright [20:13] Guest43475: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [20:13] Hydrosis: I'm on the Live CD. I'm installing to a mac, so I have to create the ubuntu partition manually. [20:13] i think it uses the qc (quick cam) driver (kernel module so you need to compile and use modprobe i think [20:13] better than opensuse imo [20:13] can i triple boot with fedora [20:13] freeagent5041: yes [20:13] this is not a fedora opensuse chat. [20:13] goose: keep asking, somone will assist you. [20:13] freeagent5041, yes you can [20:13] ok cheers ill go and get one now [20:13] suse.... yuck. partner with ms.... [20:14] win 7, NBR, Fed??? [20:14] does Mozy work in ubuntu? [20:14] Hydrosis: heh..thanks [20:14] goose: sorry, Im not a Mac guy, no idea how that works. [20:14] goose: right click the partition, choose resize/move, make 10gb free, click apply - you're done [20:14] blackkheim , I tend to think it's a 9.10 specific problem [20:14] hattoricaca, do i try to search that in synaptic [20:14] notk0: i'm not sure since i don't use ubuntu, but it is possible [20:15] is the partition setup for Fedora the same as ubuntu??? [20:15] blakkheim, what are you using? [20:15] blakkheim: so resizing /dev/sda2, I'm going to take the maximum size, subtract 10240 (10 GiB) and resize it to that? [20:15] saganbyte yes you can use synaptic [20:15] notk0: gentoo on desktop, arch on laptop, debian on server [20:15] goose: yes [20:15] freeagent5041> is the partition setup for Fedora the same as ubuntu??? [20:15] blakkheim, what are you using? [20:15] blakkheim: so resizing /dev/sda2, I'm going to take the maximum size, [20:15] subtract 10240 (10 GiB) and resize it to that? [20:15] saganbyte yes you can use synaptic [20:15] MASARUwota: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:15] blakkheim, I see [20:15] i noticed for ubuntu [20:16] the partition should be left as unallocated [20:16] notk0: none of them freeze up when writing to ntfs, but the cpu usage is fairly high [20:16] hattoricaca, can i check using the terminal, synaptic is upating [20:16] how to enable visual effects in ubuntu 9.10? [20:16] blakkheim, I never had this problem prior to 9.10 :( [20:16] how can I make sure nautilus is the default file manager? I run openbox also so I use pcman there but when in gnome I want nautilus but get pcman [20:16] blakkheim, apparently it isn't even copying directly now, but to some temp partition [20:16] ast [20:17] is Fedora worth taking a look at???? [20:17] saganbyte: terminal apps use the same db, if synaptic is using it then you have to wait [20:17] freeagent5041: i like fedora for servers [20:17] freeagent5041: Perhaps you should ask the Fedora people. This channel is for Ubuntu support [20:17] freeagent5041, depends for what you want to use it, it's not Desktop oriented kinda [20:17] Can anyone tell me why the Update Manager keeps asking me to update "devede" but will NOT allow me to check the box? I get this every update. [20:17] hattoricaca, ok [20:17] freeagent5041, there is #linux [20:17] freeagent5041: but it's a lot different than ubuntu so you'll have to learn other commands to set stuff up [20:17] hallo, wie kann ich einen menüeintrag bei wine (programm bereits deinstalliert) wieder weglöschen?

Have you used another media player like mplayer or Movie Player? [20:26] Hello. I am having some severe problems on my server. I get weird permission denied stuff. Like when logging in. Then I get permission denied on /bin/bash. I had to go in recovery mode to earch a terminal.

[20:35] blakkheim: Gotten rooted, what is that? [20:35] ok cheers [20:35] this flicker effect is not visible in vlc only also in other media player programs [20:36] Ostlian_Bryffelk: hacked, in other words. someone owned your box. [20:36] if someone doesnt know how to help with that do you know how to change the sound support to ALSA in 9.10 [20:36] blakkheim: I doubt it. It started when I got out of disk space on my root drive. [20:36] Yeah i like the know the same as EuphorianX3 [20:36] blakkheim: anyway, any suggestions on how to fix it? [20:36] Ostlian_Bryffelk: what services was the server running? [20:37] ActionParsnip28, I need some advice on wifi setup in /etc/network/interfaces with a Belkin USB wifi adapter that uses RT2780/ralink driver [20:37] Ostlian_Bryffelk: i suggest a reinstall with better security practices [20:37] Via may i ask what is your computer specs [20:37] BluesKaj dude Im lost... can I like pm u ... xD [20:37] i give up :( [20:37] !pm | Pingu [20:37] Pingu: 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. [20:37] Ohhh ok [20:37] im on 1.6ghz 512mb with compiz so it could be a performance issue [20:37] blakkheim: I had a homepage, forum, mail server, minecraft server, ftp server, mumble server, ampache server, UO server and stuff. [20:37] then most of squares are green for ati [20:37] I have a 1.8Ghz laptop MSI, with Geforce graphics, 350G HDD, why? [20:38] blakkheim: isn't it possible to fix without reinstalling? [20:38] is your rhythmbox freezing or do you want to know how to get ALSA [20:38] Ostlian_Bryffelk: you cannot trust a compromised machine [20:38] Any command in terminal that i can use to show u my drivers or stuff like that? [20:38] Ostlian_Bryffelk: backup the important data from it and reinstall is your best bet. lock down services that aren't needed and keep up to date with security patches. [20:38] it doesnt freeze, just only able to hear music or sound if i got the window from the sound on, if i switch windows, sound goes [20:38] heya guys... I don't run ubuntu myself... but a friend of mine is, and he forgot his root password.... is there a way on ubuntu to set a new one? ( it's on a dell mini ) [20:38] so i wanna get ALSO [20:38] blakkheim: But how come you think it has been hacked? It happened exactly when I ran out of disk space. [20:39] ALSA* [20:39] !root | tac [20:39] tac: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [20:39] yo yo yo again [20:39] LjL, gracias [20:39] tac: you don't need root. [20:39] Ostlian_Bryffelk: the symptoms you listed and the fact that you were running so many open services leads me to believe that. it COULD be other things, but i'm just giving you my opinion based on what you've told me. [20:39] Damn Ati xD [20:39] ViaNocturna1 ill google some more see if I can find out how to get ALSA [20:40] tac: and we don't support having one either [20:40] !noroot [20:40] We do not support having a root password set. See !root and !wfm for more information. [20:40] sure [20:40] blakkheim: I see. And _if_ I want to take my chances and still run it? xP How do I fix it? [20:40] i will too [20:40] Ostlian_Bryffelk: i can't really give you advice there, sorry [20:40] I downloaded those Ati ati-driver-installer-9-3-x86.x86_64 driver [20:40] i love ubuntu over fedora [20:40] fedora sux shlt [20:41] But not sure if they are what I need [20:41] -.- [20:41] blakkheim: Okay, thanks anyway. [20:42] pingu: make the file executable using chmod and run it in a terminal [20:42] may I post a link?

[20:43] I mean they wont screw up my graphics? [20:43] Ostlian_Bryffelk: oh k [20:43] pingu: provided the driver supports your card and your xorg version is supported, yes [20:43] Thanks mate ^^ === tato is now known as tato42 [20:43] Pingu: can only try ;) [20:43] If it fails Ill bitch up here [20:44] <3 [20:44] no language thanks [20:44] Pardon [20:44] pingu: you can always remove the driver in recovery root console [20:44] Sweet [20:44] Great support channel btw fellas [20:45] ActionParsnip,I'll ask again. I need some advice on wifi setup in /etc/network/interfaces with a Belkin USB wifi adapter that uses RT2780/ralink driver . I'm not sure what settings are needed [20:46] pici: are you still there? [20:46] blueskaj: interfaces file only sets addressing so is adapter independant [20:46] BluesKaj: any reason your not using the desktop tools like gnome-network-admin ? [20:47] <`burg> hello. how can i connect to the internet with pppoe when i`m on a wireless network? i use ubuntu 9.10 [20:47] any reason a reiserfs would take much longer to access than ext3? [drive speed differences are negligible] [20:47] ikonia, none of them work with the adapter ..even wicd doesn't do it [20:47] [specifically for write operations] [20:47] BluesKaj: so why would /etc/inetfaces work ? [20:47] BluesKaj: sounds like a problem with the support of the card [20:47] blueskaj: it does not set the driver or anything like that. its an alternative (andless system impacting) than network manager et al === NiamoKino is now known as SbogomMoiaLubov [20:48] blueskaj: you will need a deb or source or ndisgtk to get it setup then you can use the interfaces file to configure addressing / gateway et [20:49] the etc/network/interfaces works with eth0 , i just thought it might see the driver from some kind of setup [20:49] Is there a way to "clone" a ubuntu install over network? I have got a new laptop but I don't want to do all the customizations and install all packages all over again ... [20:49] BluesKaj: eth0 is nothing to do with your wirless card and the support of it [20:49] Asad-away, clonezilla === wh1901 is now known as Guest37110 [20:49] ikonia, no kidding [20:50] blueskaj: eth0 works as the kernel or whatever is in ubuntu's install is enough to get it going [20:50] !clone [20:50] 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 [20:50] !clonezilla [20:50] blueskaj: my wifi does that too with no extra config, just like your wired link [20:51] thank usser [20:51] thanks* [20:51] hi [20:52] !hi | azooz [20:52] azooz: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines . Enjoy your stay! === SbogomMoiaLubov is now known as NoMoreXP [20:52] well, ActionParsnip ..I saw a whole lot of tutorials for using wpa-supplicant in conjunction with /etc/network/interfaces , which i tried with no success . it sees my router but the router doesn't respond to the call from the wifi adapter . It's not a big deal , I'm happy with the eth0 connection [20:53] blueskaj: cool, will be more reliable as its a directed medium [20:54] usser: is there any easy alternative :S ? [20:54] blueskaj: maybe it needs a later version of the dreiver it uses [20:54] seems like clonezilla has a large learning curve for a home user :S [20:54] Myrtti: 9.10 refuses to see my hard drive, previous version looks fine [20:54] Asad-away: if your install is not too big you can grab a DVD and use remastersys [20:54] asad-away: could use partimage [20:55] ekristen: do you have encrypted stuff? [20:55] nope [20:55] when I got to install 9.10 on this system under Prepare Partitions everything is empty [20:55] ActionParsnip and hattoricaca .. thanks I will look into both of 'em :) ... though the install is pretty much like 18gb + :| [20:55] hi [20:56] ekristen: does the disk show in: sudo fdisk -l ?

I know I burned a DVD iso not too long ago, and it didn't take this long, it was a video that I had made, I think it took perhaps 10 - 15 min to burn it max.

If so how? [21:01] shane2peru, because Brasero sucks :) [21:01] rek: i dont use firefox [21:01] James_-_: sftp [21:01] mrwes, can you recommend something else? I used to use k3b, but too many kde deps [21:01] James_-_: you'd want to SCP if you have Linux SSH access. or sftp [21:01] how does that apply to that ActionParsnip? [21:01] James_-_, you can use scp to copy the files [21:01] ActionParsnip: when you get a second ... let me now [21:01] shane2peru: i used to have that so i swithed to gnomebaker [21:01] does file management of files with spaces in the name work? [21:01] shane2peru, I used k3b :) [21:02] ActionParsnip, is gnomebaker better? a few years ago it was well, lacking [21:02] rek: yes [21:02] what yes guntbert? [21:02] shane2peru, or command line: growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=dvd.iso [21:02] james_-_ ftp and ssh are completely seperate protocols. you can transfer files over ssh with scp === wh1901 is now known as Guest60824 [21:02] mrwes, k3b rocks, I just hate all the kde deps it is pulling it, like andriod server or something [21:02] sometimes my mp3 does not work [21:02] does file management of files with spaces in the name work? - the answer is yes [21:02] juda [21:02] ok sure? [21:02] Can you explain the syntax from the SSHed command line from coping a file from my home dir on my laptop to a dir on my server [21:02] shane2peru, my opinion it's worth it, or use the command line [21:02] mrwes, will that write the iso to a dvd? [21:03] guntbert: thanks. irc on g1 phone is hard [21:03] shane2peru, yah, just change the dvd.iso to your file name [21:03] rek: how about you try - remember to use completion [21:03] mrwes, yes, I was thinking of giving command line a try or going back to k3b [21:03] Is it normal when I start druver instalation that terminal goes away... [21:03] James_-_: scp foo.bar user@hostname:/path/to/put/foo.bar [21:03] rek: if you use tab to complete filenames it will manage spaces etc for you [21:03] mrwes, thanks! I will give that a try. [21:03] driver* [21:03] ActionParsnip: np :) [21:03] shane2peru, nod [21:03] daftykins THANK YOU [21:04] ActionParsnip: if i don't?

[21:04] triple_x: any of those will work [21:04] rek: then you will manually have to escape all the non alphanumeric chars which is a pain [21:04] ActionParsnip: or guntbert do you use a Desktop manager or a Vm ?

[21:07] how do you connect to a machine via SSH, if the distant machine is behind a router ? [21:07] ActionParsnip, I see you're still here doing the good work :) [21:07] Am I actually going to get a bot telling me not to take a poll when I'm asking a question?????? [21:07] cassini, you'll need to forward the port 22 [21:07] ActionParsnip: cool cool.... i use lxde too in my smartq 5 MID arm device hehehe hand held it's not so fast...but it's cool but i've not managed yet to compile lxdm... have compiled it? i need libgtk2.0-dev or something and i have unmet dependencies or something it's a pain... i don't know guake what's that? what guntbert i asked about those wm or dm used in ubuntu [21:07] mrwes, I too love cli, it is powerful, there are times though when I do prefer gui. [21:07] cassini: forward port 22 to the SSH hosting box via the router [21:07] mrwes: off and on. new job has weird hours [21:07] cassini: you have to forward the ssh port [21:08] shane2peru, I heard k9copy can do isos. [21:08] shane2peru: what wm do you use? [21:08] triple_x: it's a matter of taste, so you'll not get any good answers.

So what do I do if I have several machines behind the router ? [21:09] rek: i just apt-get lxde job done [21:09] shane2peru, yah just for the hell of it one day I decided to teach myself how to rip a DVD, shrink it to DVD5 an burn it via the command line [21:09] cassini: and you want to access all of them via SSH? i usually connect into the box the port is forwarded to, then SSH internally so it's leapfrogging [21:09] rek: lubuntu is close too ;) [21:09] no ActionParsnip lxdm it's the login manager..it's not compiled yet.... [21:09] shane2peru, I like vobcopy to rip dvd's [21:10] mrwes, I print pdf books via commandline, but I bash scripted it all out so it is easier [21:10] rek: i use console login then startx [21:10] cassini: that way you only have one point of attack, so it's good network security too. consider changing the default SSH port as an option too. you don't have to use 22 if you change it, or good routers can let you forward port "x" -> 22 internally, so you can kinda hide it [21:10] mrwes, I too learned to backup dvd's via commandline, it isn't too hard, [21:10] daftykins: Brilliant ! Leapfrogging it'll be then :) Thanks === mdeonte is now known as m|e [21:10] shane2peru, yah...bash or aliases make it much eaiser [21:10] ActionParsnip: cool you should teach me to configure my decice that way [21:10] shane2peru, a2ps is good for printing pdfs === m|e is now known as montel [21:10] cassini: my pleasure :) [21:11] Can someone suggest a good guide on Building .deb Packages?

[21:13] rek: like i said, i'm not sure [21:13] Is there a way to back up all users in ubuntu so that you don't have to readd them all when reinstalling ubuntu? [21:14] shane2peru: what do you need gnome for if you like the CLI! use a lightweight WM and a lightweight terminal instead D: [21:14] went to properties and changed that it can be executable... [21:14] But still [21:14] ActionParsnip: you don't remember? [21:14] is guntbert from police or something?

[21:23] Anyone here know where the list of startup programs are stored (i.e. where gnome-session-properties stores them)? [21:23] Hydrosis, disable acpi and it will not hibernate.

I cant hear a guitar, either. It records, but there si no sound via speakers. [21:25] Olejo: depends on your motherboard [21:25] I have a single user that logs into my computer (I am running 9.10), I need to change the UID of this user (for NFS reasons). I tried altering /etc/passwd and chmoding the home directory. But it did not work, is there anything else that I need to do? [21:25] Hydrosis, are your speakers plugged in? [21:25] hwilde, my monitor was deted in all other ubuntu versions. [21:25] Is it still grub that decidec what kind of resolution you get for the TTY's in karmic server? Or has it moved somewhere else? [21:25] every time my windows open they maximize!!!! it's the most annoying thing i've ever seen !!!

Its just that Karmic CANT do what I ask, out of the box. It will NOT play sound out of the speakers via the mic. [21:26] Olejo: when your computer starts up you have to press a key, it's usually f2 or esc or delete or f11, but it could be something else [21:26] Hydrosis, maybe you should reinstall a previous version then, unless you had some specific reason for needing 9.10 [21:26] sometimes F12 on Dells [21:26] Thank you I will try it.

For 3 days my system had been freezing when I open apps that eats a lot of memory. NOTE: the system freeze only occurs in ubuntu 9.10, other distros no problem at all [22:02] Olejo: i usually go with 100MB /boot ext4 (for karmic onwards, or ext2 for earlier) then twice the system RAM for swap, then say 10GB / ext4 or however much you fancy for how much software you install - then the rest of the drive as /home also ext4 [22:02] gdiz: you have to specify a share in samba and specify the userid and permissions to use for that particular share, i dont have a ctrl-c and ctrl-v example for you, google and man smb.conf [22:02] if I have no rules in iptables, i.e. it looks look this http://pastie.org/780217 then what does that imply? all traffic can come in and go out, right?

[22:06] And can I partition after the install? [22:06] is that from the server or the router?

I spent most of my week to move one of our projects from several servers (Apple XServe & Linux) into one VMWare Server 2.0.2 VM using Ubuntu Server 9.10 64bit. Everything is working now, but the file systems are not unmounting properly on shutdown. On every startup I get msgs from fsck. Not sure where to start. [22:09] Pingu, i spent weeks trying to get the legacy drivers to work in Karmic.... i want that time back. [22:09] my internet comes into ubuntu via wlan0 and my xbox is on eth0 [22:09] xD [22:09] Thanks I will give it a try. [22:10] Mozzytm: not able to help you - but please keep your question in one line - its very difficult to read them across many lines [22:10] TimoH: you are rebooting the VMware server or? [22:10] THe defaults tell me I have no root file system [22:10] Olejo, wait-- what do you have in mind to do? are you installing ubuntu on to a blank system? [22:11] daftykins, http://pastebin.ca/1752887 [22:11] acicula: no, that would be too easy... :) I'm rebooting the VM. [22:11] saica so you are saying Im kinda screwed? [22:11] how did u fixed it? [22:11] No it has ubuntu on it but am passing a machine on to a friend and want to put a clean OS on it. [22:11] if anyone has any ideas please pm me and i can paste conf files etc [22:12] daftykins, the other one http://pastebin.ca/1752888 [22:12] TimoH: the guests being shutdown before the machine has finished shutting down then i guess, wouldnt know why though [22:12] Mozzytm: you don't really need DHCP. just set the xbox statically. [22:12] Speaking of fglrx, i have an issue with 8.593 in Jaunty. Everything works now except anti-aliasing with opengl programs... they come out looking like this: http;//i31.tnypic.com/244z9z8.png although they are not frozen... [22:13] daftykins, have any pointers to tutorials on that? i can do the xbox side but im unusre how to share the interent, ive tried 3 tutorials and they vary in success from killing my internet on ubuntu to a half connection on the xbox [22:13] and firestarter (apparently the easiest one) keeps claiming eth0 is not ready [22:13] Pingu, if you want to get it working on Karmic you are in for some long nights and heavy headaches.... i'm not gonna say it's impossible, but it will drive you mad. the furthest I got was that fglrx actually did work, but gnome was so screwed up i could hardly use my desktop... [22:14] saica, No it has ubuntu on it but am passing a machine on to a friend and want to put a clean OS on it. [22:14] Slart, thanks [22:14] Mozzytm: if you're successfully bridging your wired to wireless interfaces, you should get a DHCP lease from the router your wireless is connected to [22:14] hey, if the harddrive's dead, can you just buy an external harddrive and install an OS on that? [22:15] Guest84851: looks like you just want to knock out what's causing it to look up this login.com jazz [22:15] saica you reminded me when I had same problem on old 8.10 but I fixed it in 3 days... horrible moments [22:15] hi [22:15] Olejo, oh that is good news. You can erase everything. When the installer asks you what to do about partitions, just take the first option it gives you (should be "use largest available space" or something of the like) [22:15] Well...

[22:17] Every last bit of documentation on that error only discusses the Mode setting for DRI in the xorg.conf, which I have checked and double-checked is in place and properly coded [22:17] is there a built-in CLI tool for playing .ogg files [22:17] Olejo, u can, just not without wiping ur existing OS [22:17] TPS: well.. I don't speak a word of german.. besides what is required to get me a beer [22:17] Colloguy: mplayer [22:17] I dont think that will be a problem for them, thank you for your help.

[22:18] !please | rahduke [22:18] rahduke: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude [22:18] I just want to play an alert sound in my script [22:18] Colloguy, aplay might work [22:18] doesn't play ogg [22:18] mmmm [22:19] Guest84851: none of your mirrors in sources.list are referring to a login.com yet it's querying them... try backing up the file then looking here for an alternative to change all the archive.ubuntu.com addresses for: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors [22:19] i am installing ubuntu on a drive which has vista, and the ubuntu installer partitioner is stuck at 0%, any clue ? === sundowner is now known as dougsko [22:20] lol i got nautilus to run, by cmnd line Sudo Nautlus... for some reason it changed my desktop wallpaper. It did however show the drives on my desktop, no folders or files tho [22:20] all of my stuff is there, it just wont show up... this is weird [22:21] rahduke: never run gui stuff with sudo.. [22:21] !gksudo | rahduke [22:21] rahduke: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [22:21] Slart: i use sudo with graphical apps and have not had any problems (i've read that link, too) [22:21] Colloguy, how about music123? [22:21] daftykins, it is not the same if I go to Software Sources and choose Download from Best Server? [22:21] Slart: i meant to write gksudo, I still have major issues tho [22:22] Colloguy, or sox [22:22] blakkheim: I've walked on the highway at several occasions.. I'm still alive.. doesn't mean it's something that it's recommended [22:22] hi, i've got an issue installing ubuntu onto my dell mini 9, i've put the iso onto the stick and tried to boot into it, however I just get this http://twitpic.com/y8h58 I tried to download the image a few times to no avail [22:22] ciao a tutti [22:22] Guest84851: probably ^_^ [22:23] all of a sudden all my Desktop icons, (drives, folders, files) have dissapeared.... Not sure what is happening... I'm using Karmic and I'm about to freak out. [22:23] skrite: nifty, but I'd rather not have to install anything [22:23] skrite: I think I'll just download a wav to play using aplay then [22:23] daftykins, probably hehe you dont know? [22:23] daftykins, ;( [22:23] , cant just copy the ISO on the USB stick. You need to use a program called UNETBootin or seomthing liekt hat to put the files on there correctly [22:23] nautilus will not launch unless i use command line [22:24] yah so, if anybody knows why fglrx corrupts the framebuffer in opengl applications whle anti-aliasing is on.... and why they sort of work when run with sudo (although it breaks AIGLX support) [22:24] you can convert ogg to way [22:24] oneunder: i followed the instructions for osx usb copy using dd is that not enough? [22:24] Guest84851: i don't have a GUI ubuntu install running right now so i can't check. just backup sources.list by running (at terminal) "sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list old" and then try [22:24] Colloguy, wave that is, you can convert if your app takes waves [22:24] what happens if i enable ip forwarding -- does that make my server hackable or exploitable? [22:25] oh....using that it should have worked then (sorry, thought youjust copied the ISO file tot he USB stick) [22:25] skrite: will try [22:25] Hi guys, I am seeing a socket problem... two NICs both with 169.254.x.x IPs (isolated networks). If I bind a couple of sockets to each local IP and send a packet to 169.254.255.255 then Ubuntu sends both packets out the same NIC, but one with the IP from the other NIC [22:25] i can get the installer to even boot, it just stops saying no os found. [22:25] yes infact ur likely to get hacked the night u do that [22:25] amirite, [22:26] protojay: hes talking about opening a port for bittorrent [22:26] hi i'm not able to use tab to complete the file names in bash [22:26] amirite: I don't think ip forwarding will affect the security on the computer in question.. I'm not so sure about other computers on the network behind that one [22:27] umm can someone explain to me why all of my desktop icons are gone, and why nautilus will not launch for me...
