[00:00] Dextronaught: try hitting tools add-ons and then go to the plug-in tab... from there see if there are multiple versions of either flash or java enabled... try disabling everything except for the two that you want to use and see if the problem persists [00:00] vlt yes you can export objets in files but i don't remeber exactly how [00:01] yeah I got shockwave, disable them all except for flash and Java? ok [00:02] cwheeler: I could simply edit the svg/xml file to refactor the objects. But how to "embbed" the file then? [00:02] I've only exported objects which I used in Gimp but I'm sure there's a way to import them [00:03] semitones oooh. it was a slackware app... sorry its name sbootmgr theres an iso it seems also check out super gub disc [00:03] I used options on the inkscape menu [00:03] Dextronaught: see if the problem still exists when everything is disabled except the two you want to use [00:07] Thunder_Drop, no fix [00:07] still, whichever one opens first works [00:09] hi there [00:09] Hey, I'm going to need a little help here. I'm a complete Linux novice, however I have been running Linux Ubuntu on a spare partition for a couple of years. Today I booted into Linux, and found that the kernel started in low graphics mode. This hasn't happened before. Can anybody help? [00:09] Dextronaught: well the only suggestion that I can give you is that I currently have java and shockwave flash running at the same time. I do not think that your problem is from within linux but within firefox itself. To eliminate the possiblity of it being a linux issue you could use a different browser and see if the problem still exists [00:10] that's a good idea, thanks [00:10] but my mic also performs strangely lol === Bwaah is now known as SlowpokeBwaah [00:10] Dextronaught: from without a browser? [00:10] @SealedWithAKiss You are using Ubuntu for a couple of years and haven't convinced yourself of deinstalling Windows yet? [00:10] I think it's a thing between using pulseaudio, alsa-base, jack, esound, and w/e [00:11] no no no, I'm talking about, my mic acts strange on Skype and TeamSpeak [00:11] it'll sound fine for about... 1 or 2 minutes, then it goes all static and jumpy when I talk [00:11] @SealedWithAKiss - Did you have the monitor on and connected when you booted up? Have you tried a quick reboot (or just restarted X/GDM) to see if it didn't see your monitor on boot? [00:11] Just remove pulseaudio [00:11] ok I installed the ati flgrx drivers but now I try to run catalyst and it doesnt want to run AND I try to run aticonfig and get 'No Supported Adapters Detected" [00:11] remove pulseaudio? [00:11] and use what [00:11] Andy14, Windows supports many more applications than Linux. [00:12] And? [00:12] Wine? [00:12] sdwrage: sounds like the fglrx driver isn't actually in use. pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log plz [00:12] Andy14, when Linux can meet all of my needs, I wont need Windows any longer. [00:12] ok hold on [00:12] daftykins, ^ [00:12] I'm using Ubuntu for 3 months and then I realized that I don't need Windows anymore [00:12] Dextronaught: pulseaudio is not used by default if I'm correct so uninstalling it will just force every application to use the default [00:13] Andy14, remove pulseaudio and use what? [00:13] alsa [00:13] ok [00:13] I'll try that [00:13] Just sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio [00:13] I had the same [00:13] Then it should work [00:13] furicle, the monitor was on and connected. I have tried rebooting a number of times. The kernel isn't recognising my ATI graphics card. The drivers aren't loading. [00:13] Just fine [00:13] Andy14: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:13] :3 [00:13] Andy14: owned :) [00:13] yo yo yo [00:14] Andy14: and how are you going to solve this issue in the future? [00:14] SealedWithAKiss: check ati's site for the drivers.. you might find that ATI has not included your card in any compatible drivers for xorg 7.3 [00:14] who is the soundcard expert now? [00:14] daftykins, www.pastebin.org/77450 [00:14] i want to solve my card sometimes not recognized error [00:15] SealedWithAKiss how long since youve boot into linux..... can you remember what happened last time you where in there.... did you update.... install anything..? [00:15] flow2fly: run: sudo lshw -C sound; lspci | grep -i audio you can use the output to find guides [00:15] have this problem since 9.04 [00:15] sdwrage: yeah you see all the (II) lines still say VESA? we need to force it to use fglrx now via the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file - are you using Karmic? (9.10) this file won't exist if so [00:15] flow2fly: do yuo have an audigy soundcard by any chance? [00:15] daftykins, I am not sure [00:16] how would I know? [00:16] hda soundcards do not support microphones in linux at all, right? ^^ [00:16] sdwrage: open a terminal and do "cd /etc/X11/" then "ls" and look for xorg.conf [00:16] actionParsnip__: no i have soundblaster usb [00:16] Andy14: mine does, i just dont use it [00:16] daftykins, yeah its there [00:16] Creative Technology, Ltd SoundBlaster MP3+ [00:16] Izinucs, I have the driver installation file on my desktop. It's a .run file - I can't re-install using the GUI because I can't complete the installation in low graphics mode. I can only see 50% of the installation wizard. [00:16] flow2fly: then: lsusb will help [00:16] flow2fly: webseach the ID [00:17] sdwrage: ok hit alt+f2 then type "gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" [00:17] iflema, I cannot remember it's been so long. It's been perhaps 6 months since I have booted into Linux. [00:17] sdwrage: then pastebin that plz [00:17] lsusb thats what i did to tell you the name... [00:17] actionParsnip__: you now i did lots of websearches before i asked in here [00:17] SealedWithAKiss: you have to do it from cli.. however you should look at ATI's site and see if your card is depreciated to an older driver.. if it is then it will not work on any linux right now.. not until ati fixes their drivers. [00:17] flow2fly: then you will have seen the 8 character hex ID, websearch that [00:18] you mean this 041e:3010 ? [00:18] flow2fly: thats all i know, i only buy off the HCLand 100% of my hardware works out of the box [00:18] flow2fly: yes, find that [00:18] SealedWithAKiss are you on this computer now? [00:18] thing is it does work [00:18] but sometimes not [00:19] Izinucs, I have attempted a CLI installation. I double-click the .run file but the installation wont run unless I'm running it as a SU. I don't know how to execute a .run file from the command line. [00:19] sometimes i can see it on lsusb but not for example with cat /proc/asound/cards [00:19] iflema, I'm in Linux now in low graphics mode. [00:19] @SealedWithAKiss - you may want to review https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting - Also note you can move a window past the edge of your desktop by holding down alt then clicking and dragging the window, so you can get down to the 'ok' buttons etc [00:19] SealedWithAKiss: "sudo chmod +x blah.run" then "./blah.run" [00:19] what's the easiest way to monitor the network traffic for a particular process? [00:19] can I do that with wireshark? [00:19] daftykins, www.pastebin.com/77459 [00:20] !info ntop [00:20] ntop (source: ntop): display network usage in web browser. In component universe, is optional. Version 3:3.3-11ubuntu1 (karmic), package size 2599 kB, installed size 10812 kB [00:20] ntop does so much stuff.. i cant understand it all. :P [00:20] is there a command to reset all the update information to defaults or original [00:20] sdwrage: it says it's expired [00:20] I dont even understand what that means [00:20] jgcampbell300: define"update information" [00:20] sdwrage: nah the pastebin.com site says your paste expired, please try again [00:20] SealedWithAKiss: you also have to stop the gui.. so CTRL+ALT+F2 and log in.. then sudo service gdm stop ... then cd ~/Desktop .. if that is where your file is.. then.. sudo ./ [00:20] oh I see [00:20] hold on === ammonkey is now known as ammonkey_ [00:21] daftykins, www.pastebin.org/77459 [00:21] SealedWithAKiss: but you should first look in System>Administration>Hardware Drivers and see if there is a driver there waiting to activate. [00:21] does anyone know of an app that will download album cover art for music and put the files in the directories? (Already using rhythmbox as player but it doesn't find them all and has no way to manually set covers inside player) [00:21] sdwrage: your paste # isn't changing, is copy+paste into IRC working? [00:22] daftykins, I accidently did .com on first one [00:22] actionParsnip__: I really want to know where exactly I can post the bug to someone who really nows this kind of stuff [00:22] this is .org [00:22] when i hit update manager it tells me some of the items can not be reached as if my network is down or it has the wrong info [00:22] my network is not down [00:22] sdwrage: ah yeah sorry :) wasn't paying attention [00:22] daftykins, np [00:22] !bug | flow2fly [00:22] flow2fly: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs - Bugs in/wishes for the IRC bots (not Ubuntu) can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [00:22] edomeda: i think you can drag and drop album covers if you have them [00:22] so i would think it has the wrong information, if i were to reset it to defaults maybe it would have the right info [00:23] sdwrage: yeah you see where it says vesa in speech marks? that's what we want to change. so first, open a terminal and type "sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.old" to make a backup. [00:23] ok [00:23] jgcampbell300 try an other source server [00:23] Izinucs, daftykins, furicle, I have completed the installation. Thank for pointing out that I could use Alt to move the application into view, and also for letting me know how to run the installation file. I'm going to reboot now to see whether the problem is corrected. [00:23] ok [00:23] daftykins, done [00:24] sdwrage: so if the GUI (X) doesn't work once we try what i'm gonna suggest, write down to login at the command line (ctrl+alt+f1 through f6 give you 6 login screens etc) [00:24] sdwrage: and type "sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.old /etc/X11/xorg.conf" to restore the config, then "sudo shutdown -r 0" to reboot [00:24] but that's only if things go bad :D [00:24] Failed to fetch cdrom://Ubuntu 9.10 _Karmic Koala_ - Release i386 (20091028.5)/dists/karmic/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz Please use apt-cdrom to make this CD-ROM recognized by APT. apt-get update cannot be used to add new CD-ROMs [00:24] bastid_raZor, yeah, but looking for something where I can do more then one at a time. What I miss is amarok's album cover manager. :-/ [00:24] daftykins, yeah im on my windows box right now running vmware ubuntu [00:24] sdwrage: so with the above written down, use the gedit window to delete 'vesa' within the "" and type it so it reads fglrx instead [00:25] ok [00:25] jgcampbell300: Turn off the CD option in Software Sources. [00:25] sdwrage: ooooh i see, you can't use your real graphics card from a VM then i'm afraid! [00:25] bastid_raZor, really looking for some app/script to run though and grab them all at once [00:25] daftykins, oh really? that sucks [00:25] so how can I increase screen resolution? [00:25] sdwrage: you can install te guest additions to get more than 800x600 res [00:25] thanks [00:25] Greetings Earthlings. Anyone have a recommendation please for an mp3 tagging app? And, please, not audacity. Thanks. [00:26] hrm [00:26] edomeda: none that i know of.. one of the reasons i stopped using rhythmbox :\ [00:26] sdwrage: which version of ubuntu have you got in the VM? try "sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-vmware" and let me know what the output is [00:26] gmachine_24, easytag [00:26] sdwrage: you can add a little more to get some basic 3d accelleration but basically you wont get 3d acceleration [00:26] daftykins, couldnt find xorg-driver-vmware [00:26] edomeda, I was looking at that. [00:27] gmachine_24, does good job, just hard to figure out at first [00:27] * WhiteCrow1 hi guys [00:27] What is the black/grey theme bundled with ubuntu 9.1 called? Will it work on ubuntu studio? [00:27] actionParsnip__, I only use it for web developement but want it full screen really [00:27] 1680 x 1050 [00:27] edomeda, it seemed there was some prob d/l it from sourceforge [00:27] I think thats the res I need [00:27] ah try again with xserver-xorg-video-vmware [00:27] gmachine_24, it's in repos [00:27] sdwrage: ^ [00:27] gmachine_24, just apt-get install easytag [00:27] so I guess they should have called it hard tag [00:27] ok [00:28] sdwrage: thats fine, mount the guest additions cd and run the script relevant to your ubuntu's arcitecture [00:28] Rubberducky dust... dust should be default. [00:28] gmachine_24: I like picard for auto tagging and kid3 for manual edits [00:28] actionParsnip__, guest additions cd? [00:28] Thanks to those who helped - everything is functioning correctly now! [00:29] i want to know how can i connect nokia 5800 wit usb cable on ubuntu 9.10 ? any one can help me [00:29] daftykins, says its newest version [00:29] sdwrage: run the virtual system, then click the options at the top and you'll see the option [00:29] trism, thanks. [00:29] sdwrage: ok in the same gedit window change 'vesa' for 'vmware' and save and reboot [00:29] sdwrage: so which ubuntu version and vmware version are you running then? [00:30] sdwrage: then shutdown the box when its downloaded, mount the cd then boot it up andinstall. it will give the modules for the virtual graphics card [00:30] does anyone know how to observe a particular process with ntop? [00:30] I have another ? I am at Starbux, connected to their wifi but I always have trouble staying connected .... anyone else have the same prob? Every other wireless connection is fine and I can connect using windows @ starbucks so....... [00:30] daftykins, vmware player 3.0 and Ubuntu 9.10 [00:30] sdwrage: http://www.dedoimedo.com/images/computers/2008/virtualbox-install-guest-additions.jpg [00:31] iflema, Not the default, the darker one that comes with it... Its a darker grey I think. I really like it. [00:31] actionParsnip__, isnt thatfor virtualbox though? [00:31] sdwrage: ah right. player is quite limited, consider the free ubuntu server for better support etc. though it's a little manky since they moved it to a web based interface [00:31] sdwrage: sure [00:31] i want to know how can i connect nokia 5800 wit usb cable on ubuntu 9.10 ? any one can help me [00:31] sdwrage: you will need to use an xorg.conf file to get a higer res: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=777759 [00:31] Rubberducky yeah dust... dust should be default. System / Preferences / Apperance [00:31] actionParsnip__, ill take a look... thx [00:32] Andy14, I did as you told me, and after restarting my computer, I can no longer access my sound preferences [00:32] there's no speaker at the top-right [00:32] I can talk on mic, but I'm not sure if I can hear back, and I can't listen to music that I've downloaded [00:33] and I did sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio and then sudo apt-get install alsa [00:33] I don't have any sound at all on firefox [00:34] I have two HD's in one computer a 20g and an 80G ... the 20g is going bad and that is where ubuntu is at ... is there a way to tell linux to move its self to the 80G with out much involvement [00:35] Andy14? === Aquaraptor_ is now known as Aquaraptor [00:36] Dextronaught: what type soundcard do you have [00:36] realtek [00:36] onboard? [00:36] yes [00:36] laptop [00:36] jgcampbell300, technically it is possible, you should set your 80 GB as master and do a cloning of the 20 gb, IDK how that is done (dd maybe? ) but I know it's possible [00:37] jgcampbell300: may be easier to just do a new instgall to the 80gb then recover/copy files from the 20 - if the 20 has some bad system files. it may be hard to track them down [00:37] what was the problem again? [00:37] I uhh [00:37] card does not work [00:37] ? [00:37] my mic on Skype and TeamSpeak [00:37] jgcampbell300: movimng the system over will also mean you need to tweak the uuiids and other stuff in some configs [00:37] when I'd talk, it'd work for a minute or two [00:37] oh just your mic [00:37] and then go static and choppy [00:37] so... Andy14 told me he had the same problem before [00:37] and removed pulseaudio [00:37] and used just alsa [00:38] understand [00:38] and it fixed it for him, and it kinda did for me [00:38] I think the mic works, but I don't got sound, I can't even access my sound preferences now [00:38] do you have more than 1 soundcard? [00:38] I doubt it. [00:38] hmm .. ok sounds like i should just do a fresh install of ubuntu ... but it would be handy to know how to in the future in case a fresh build is not acceptable [00:38] pulse has its uses, but it can get in the way [00:39] !backup | jgcampbell300 [00:39] jgcampbell300: There are many ways to back your system up.

[00:43] ok [00:43] Dextronaught, do you have a voice modem?

I believe if you go to Appearance and look at the themes its on the bottom right... [00:44] Hey [00:44] hi [00:44] you mean dust? [00:44] Rubbberducky: newwave ? [00:44] new Wave* [00:44] I think one of those is it... [00:44] http://yfrog.com/2m01162010003p [00:44] lol [00:44] Let me search them! [00:44] Thanks! [00:44] flow2fly, http://yfrog.com/2m01162010003p [00:45] it just struck me; its never really possible to do a true install of a distro to SD card or USB memory right? [00:45] Rubberducky New Wave is bottom right for me [00:45] !usb | sybariten [00:45] sybariten: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [00:45] sybariten: I think this is what you want https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [00:46] Dextronaught, so what was your problem.. cant hear audio? [00:46] well [00:46] before I had sound, but it acted strangely, but I did have it [00:47] IdleOne: "persistent" method is a middle way, i think [00:47] main problem was that my mic would work on Skype or TeamSpeak for a good mintue or two [00:47] and then go static and choppy [00:47] hmm.. bizare [00:47] and somebody told me to remove pulseaudio [00:47] sybariten, persistent is the only way, and has the same functions [00:47] and install alsa [00:47] so I did, and restarted my pc [00:47] Dextronaught, ok yea that was silly advice [00:47] and now I don't got the speaker at the top-right like I did before [00:48] well dotblank, that guy had had the same problem as I did [00:48] and he said it fixed his problem [00:48] Dextronaught: are you sure you completely removed pulse? [00:48] he also had the static mic, etc [00:48] Dextronaught, he is right but I believe it causes alot more then it solves [00:48] uhh, sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio [00:48] ? [00:48] Supersaiyan_IV: i dont think its like a real install [00:48] i just installed ubuntu on an older computer of mine; now that in install is finished the computer will turn on and post, but as soon as it begins booting from the disk the system powers down; so basically i get, turn on, post, turn off; any ideas on what i can do to resolve this issue? [00:49] Were you using skype with pulse? [00:49] when i did it before i went to the synaptic and removed everything with *pulse* [00:49] the newer version [00:49] sybariten, usb drives use fat32, you cant format it to ext3/4, so there is no other way [00:49] TeamSpeak 2 and TeamSpeak 3 [00:49] i am not sure if this is the correct way but i worked [00:49] Supersaiyan_IV: oh, so the filesystem is the catch? [00:49] sybariten, yes [00:49] ah crap [00:50] Dextronaught, the problem is that teamspeak is oss I believe === pauljw_vm is now known as pauljw [00:50] dotblank: but a least he should be able to get some music [00:50] Dextronaught, have you tried starting teamspeak with padsp? [00:50] no [00:51] can I get that off synaptic? [00:51] the reason he cant get music is because gstreamer is trying to use pulse most likely [00:51] Dextronaught, its part of pulse [00:51] How can I set up xchat to start up when the computer starts up but have in min in the sys tray [00:52] so remove gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio [00:52] Dextronaught, if you type gstreamer-properties [00:52] It was new wave. Thanks guys [00:52] you can set it to alsa or oss [00:52] Crewsr3, xchat --minimize=2 [00:52] or pulse [00:53] Crewsr3, it's all documented in the manpage [00:53] ok [00:53] unop, ok, I will look in the manpage [00:53] dotblank, you're a miracle worker :D [00:53] dotblank: do you also have some tip for me? i have the issue that my usb sound card sometimes is not recognized [00:54] setting it to alsa or oss should get your totem and other gstreamer apps working ewithout pulse [00:54] Hmm. anyone noticed - if you let the pc sit for a while.. (like long enough for the screen saver to kick in, but it not kickingin) i move the mouse.. it dims then comes back. as if the screen/poqwer saver is kicking in once you move the mouse. [00:54] still can't hear music though [00:54] it's a real pleasure to install and os using floppies, when the only floppy drive you have is in a computer with no os :) [00:54] I'ma try alsa [00:54] flow2fly, is this with pulse or without [00:54] with pulse, fresh 9.10 installation [00:54] i'm trying to manually install a firefox addon. i've located the extension folder ~/.mozilla/firefox/... but after that, how would i go about it? i had thought that this was like installing a plugin .so, just drag and drop. [00:55] Dextronaught, because alsa locks down the sound card multiple playback streams are not support without the use of dmix. So you may have to close teamspeak in order to fix this [00:55] i had this problem also with 9.04 [00:55] any idea of why an ASUS Eee 1201n keyboard doesn't respond on 9.10 booted from a pendrive? [00:55] Ok. [00:55] flow2fly, when you plugged it in have you seen if it tries to load the modules.. from the terminal type pacmd then list-modules [00:56] Dr_Willis not that but ive noticed ive selected no screensaver, no screen blanking and yet every 15min i get screen blanking.... [00:56] dotblank: what to look for? [00:57] another way is to killall pulseaudio and then run pulseaudio so you can get the stderr output in the terminal and then you can see any errors easily in realtime [00:57] hi folks [00:57] could the raid configuration in my computer be causing problems with my ubuntu install (as i mentioned above, i installed successfully, but upon first HDD boot, the system just shuts down)? [00:57] flow2fly, something about the name of the device [00:57] Would Ubuntu 9.10 run suitably with an onboard GFX? [00:57] are RAID arrays a common source of trouble? [00:57] flow2fly, modules are loaded and sorted by date. so if you just added the usb device it should be one of the last devices [00:58] How can i convert .flv to .mpeg with VLC? [00:58] alsa_card.usb-041e_USB_Audio-00 [00:58] maybe this [00:58] yes ok so pulse has loaded the module [00:58] hy, do you know any free software for hosting, like cpanel? [00:58] yes at the moment it works [00:58] flow2fly, can you then run list-sinks [00:58] last start it did not work for example [00:58] ok [00:58] it is completely random [00:59] flow2fly, do you know of any associated eents when it does not? [00:59] eents? [00:59] events? [00:59] flow2fly, it may be that the module did not properly unload when the device is removed [00:59] events* [01:00] you mean i shut down my machine, then it does not unload? [01:00] hmm [01:00] So this usually happens at startup then [01:00] yeah [01:00] i can see it with lsusb though [01:01] hmm... ok do you have a modified default.pa in ~/.pulse? [01:01] well no [01:01] what is this? [01:01] it is a file pulse ues to load when it starts [01:01] ah [01:01] maybe my problem lies even deeper [01:02] the system wide file is stored in /etc/pulse/default.pa [01:02] it could be a problem when it starts.. but what you could do is write a script that unloads the module then reloads it [01:02] make it a shortcut and call it "click here when it doesnt work" [01:03] but i cant even see the card in /proc/asound/cards [01:03] Hello, My bass seems a bit to flat compared to Windows. Any ideas? [01:03] ok then that problem has to deal with alsa and not pulse [01:03] so are you sure it is a pulseaudio problem [01:03] flow2fly, if alsa cant see it then pulse cant see it [01:03] is pulse build on top of alsa? [01:04] flow2fly, yes but it doesnt HAVE to use it. only if you want to use a local sound card.. (you could run sound over the network for instance or run jack) [01:04] sounds nice [01:05] but i have to look into alsa for my problem right? [01:05] you may have to compile newer alsa-drivers or find a ppa for them [01:05] ppa? [01:05] flow2fly, yes. I find the experts in #alsa to be extremely helpfull [01:05] !ppa [01:05] With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. [01:05] I installed ubuntu and my internet is extremely slow. If I reboot to Fedora, it is normal / fast. What gives? [01:05] any idea of why an ASUS Eee 1201n keyboard doesn't respond on 9.10 booted from an USB source? [01:06] but this might be an ubuntu problem? [01:06] teadict, can you rephrase the question it was a bit confusing? [01:06] Hello all :) [01:06] or you think it is better to ask the alsa guys [01:06] hi [01:06] flow2fly, yes but it is most likely an alsa bug and if it has been fixed then ubuntu may not have it inside of its repos [01:07] flow2fly, what I would is try compiling the alsa drivers from source and installing them. if you have issues #alsa should be able to help [01:07] Also, I disabled ipv6 and the internet is extremely slow. 100ms to google or more [01:07] I recently installed a version of the unspeakable operating system and it happily provided me with an mbr rootkit is there any way i can erase an mbr ? [01:08] this sounds complicated [01:08] flow2fly, it is [01:08] :P [01:08] dotblank: I booted Ubuntu 9.10 on my new ASUS Eee 1201n using a pendrive (which holds the OS image) and the keyboard doesn't work [01:09] dotblank: haven't done much testing yet but I'm pretty desoriented anyway [01:09] teadict, hmm... it may have to do with the usb controller.. [01:09] Pokoloko: grub or the windows commands write a new mbr to the mbr. overwriting whatever ones are there. [01:09] dotblank: I've doubted about the live cd being booted from USB too [01:09] teadict, have to tried to enable ps/2 emulation in the bios? [01:09] dotblank: how would that help? [01:10] dotblank: oh [01:10] teadict, it would make your mouse and keyboard act like they are not usb devices [01:10] dotblank: wait, no.. [01:10] Dr_Willis: thank you i will look into it further, if i encounter any difficulties i will return [01:10] dotblank: the USB device is the pendrive, from which I'm booting karmic [01:10] teadict, does it actually boot karmic [01:10] dotblank: the keyboard not working is the one of my netbook asus 1201n [01:10] dotblank: yes it does [01:11] dotblank: the only thing not working is the netbook's keyboard [01:11] teadict, does it let you use the keyboard during the boot loader? [01:11] Supersaiyan_IV: according to this guide http://www.unnionline.com/blog/?p=93 it works allright to format a USB memory so the problem has to lie elsewhere.... either that or i'm misunderstanding. [01:11] how do i mount my windows partition so i can browse My Documents? [01:11] dotblank: didn't try that.. but wait.. right now stupid W7 is applying some updates, I'll ping you when I'm rebooting [01:11] Why is my internet slow in ubuntu but not fedora? [01:12] how can i check the integrety of a usb install disk? [01:12] dotblank: I'll see if keyboard respond before launching X when I'm there [01:12] if i want to share internet between two ubuntu comps what should i do [01:12] Sonja: go to "places" [01:12] Tuxguy, can you give me info on your network and your configuration of your network devices.. IE output from ifconfig and netstat -rn [01:12] there you should find it [01:12] Sonja Places desktop menu, then click Home Folder... in the left pane the dive should be listed ready for i click mount [01:13] Sonja if it does not let you it may be the windows partition was not cleanly unmounted [01:13] thanks [01:13] dotblank, that machine is toooo slow to get on irc with [01:13] I geht this error when I try to start a certain python script: UnsupportedLibcVersionError: Libc 2.10.1 is unsupported, requires at least Libc 2.4 Is there no libc 2.4 available in ubuntu? [01:14] Tuxguy, sounds really bad [01:14] dotblank, > 200ms to google [01:14] hello, I see in top that, for example, gnome-do application is in S mode. But the key combination to invoke gnome-do does not seem to work, what does that mean? Normally, in that case, I just kill the process and restart a new instance but wondering if something else can be done? What is really happening there? [01:14] Tuxguy, can you ping your gateway [01:14] dotblank, but, i can reboot to fedora, and its normal speeds. I tried disabling ipv6, but it didnt make a difference [01:14] dotblank, trying [01:14] MrKeuner: S mode? [01:14] dotblank, 0.6ms average [01:14] Sleep mode [01:15] dotblank: how can i see the version number of alsa in my ubuntu? [01:15] Tuxguy, so thats fast... when you ping google is it always 200ms or does it startout at 200ms then slowly go down [01:15] MrKeuner permissions maybe prefix with sudo [01:15] dotblank, well, for the first 5 seconds or so it just hangs... then it starts pinning at 200ms and goes up [01:16] dotblank, then it goes down to about 30-40 ms for a while... 'hangs' and then starts back [01:16] Tuxguy, ok thats a bit wierd very wierd indeed.. [01:16] Tuxguy: what does "sudo lsof -i" return? [01:16] flow2fly, um h/o I have to look at that [01:16] iflema, could not get what you mean [01:16] MrKeuner sudo top [01:17] iflema, ah that would show more information? [01:17] MrKeuner dont think so.... not sure... but full access [01:17] flow2fly, cat /proc/asound/versio [01:17] MrKeuner: top just shows what is running on your system [01:17] flow2fly, cat /proc/asound/version [01:17] meganerd, i dont have a way to paste it... [01:18] Tuxguy, can you try pinging something other than google [01:18] Tuxguy: doesn't matter, how many things are returned? [01:18] is there an alternate battery bar option that shows the number of minutes left instead of just a battery icon? [01:18] 1.0.20. [01:18] do any of them have the word torrent in them? [01:18] meganerd, thought so, then how does an application become unresponsive and show as Sleep in top [01:18] speach/a.i. engines ... does ubuntu have anything like this ? [01:19] flow2fly, seems alsa is at 1.0.22 [01:19] MrKeuner: I usually use ps to find sleeping or zombies [01:19] flow2fly, cat /proc/asound/version [01:19] flow2fly, whoops wrong paste [01:19] I use htop for easier readability, and atop to get more details (like disk IO) [01:19] flow2fly, http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Download [01:20] meganerd, but a sleeping app does not necessarily mean an app that should be killed [01:20] MrKeuner: correct [01:20] I'm trying to get my wireless working. I had to install ndiswrapper and use an old Windows driver. I've got that driver installed now. ndiswrapper -l returns driver installed, device present message. But the internet still does not work. [01:20] hi all, i am looking for 64bit libpcre.so.3 if someone would mind to share that file with me, much appreciated [01:20] jgcampbell300, well none that really any good IMO [01:20] dotblank: i am looking at the changelogs [01:20] !battery [01:20] !battery-meter [01:20] anyone here test windows xp ISO on qemu-kvm on Ubuntu 9.10?

(where viruses hang out) and the definition of the drive layout. theres no 'mbr partition' [01:26] flow2fly, sometimes it isnt in the changelogs.. but you did look so I don't blame you if you do not want to upgrade if you wont get any thing out of it.. you may have to submit a bug report... [01:26] flow2fly, yea its a hit or miss.. but they are smart [01:26] dotblank: yes but this should go to ubuntu or to alsa? [01:26] Dr_Willis: just found an 8m partition and deleted it then for safety [01:26] Can anyone help me get my wireless working? I had to install ndiswrapper and use an old Windows driver.

[01:27] dotblank: but thanks for your support so far [01:27] flow2fly, thats a good idea.. gets some rest and try again with alsa peoples later [01:27] maybe i will compile it then [01:27] thanks iflema [01:29] Pokoloko: windows for some odd reason makes a little partition like that at times. [01:31] Dr_Willis: Last question and i wont bother you any more, after i sudo grub , it tells me to >root (hd0,0) how do i convert (hd0,0) to sda2 [01:31] Pokoloko, try out grub's tab completion - its quite handy :) [01:32] hey guys, I recently cleaned house and removed a lot of seemingly "useless" packages lately, but now I can't play encrypted dvds at all :\ [01:32] flea, grub has tab completion? HOLY **** i am amazed!!!!!

[02:17] is the straight ubuntu 9.10 have a better chance of support my netbooks drivers than this netbook remix? [02:18] LordDragon: as i understand it, they have exact same drivers [02:18] LordDragon: there's just a different UI [02:18] LordDragon System / Administration / Hardware Drivers.... look in there..... [02:18] LordDragon: 9.10 has a newer kernel, the netbook release is a version or two old IIRC. I am running 9.10 vanilla on my netbook [02:18] oh i thought the remix had atom optomized kernel and other netbook drivers [02:19] hello [02:19] iflema, i went there and it says "no proprietary drivers are in use on this system" [02:19] meganerd: dmesg returns some errors saying it could not load.. oh my god "kernel is 32-bit but windows driver is not 32-bit..."

[02:21] Jasonrj: I have a Dell Latitude e6400 that I am simply in love with [02:21] Hi, when I try to install 9.10 I get a white screen and then coloured bars down my screen, after some searching, I'm told this is due to "KMS being turned off for Radeon cards" in the latest kernel. Apparently installing it fixes it, how do I get the install working with KMS? [02:21] does anyone know why i cant install updates in Karmic [02:21] deuterium: no idea about debian, probably need to ask in #debian [02:21] Jasonrj: the only downside is that it does not ship with a high performance video card, Intel or slow ass Quatro [02:22] relik1: no idea, you may wish to tell us the error first :) [02:22] LordDragon https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported === Damn3d is now known as damn3d [02:22] Jasonrj: there is a Dell studio with a radeon supported by the open source driver with a core i7 proc that is pretty sweet [02:22] bastid_raZor: err.. sorry, i meant if i use it on ubuntu karmic, not debian lenny. do need to set "karmic main" instead of "hardy main"? [02:22] Jasonrj: a friend of mine has it, though he mostly wastes time with Windows 7 and WoW [02:23] iflema, gonna delete UNR and try the straight version [02:23] i go to install update and it doesnt do anything, so i did it thru terminal and get "E: Couldn't find package update" [02:23] meganerd: Sounds interesting, thanks for the info [02:23] LordDragon youve got it allready.... have a look at ubuntu9.10/moblin remix [02:23] Jasonrj: np, I have learned a lot over the years about hardware to avoid... of course I always learn the lesson too late :) [02:24] deuterium: if the ppa offers a karmic version, then yes but it should be telling you that it is offering karmic and/or hardy on the page [02:24] LordDragon http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-moblin-remix/releases/9.10/release/ [02:24] Jasonrj: I am also a fan of Lenovos, I have an old x41 tablet running 9.10 that I also quite like [02:24] bastid_raZor: looks like it offers a hardy version only. risky to try on a karmic? [02:24] deuterium: yes. [02:25] meganerd: I've heard a lot of good about Lenovo, I might have to look into that too [02:25] bastid_raZor: what can happen, worst case? can't i just uninstall installed packages again, if something goes wrong? [02:25] Jasonrj: I am a fan [02:26] deuterium: worst could happen is you get your packages in an unrepairable state.. mixing repo's is the fastest way to break your system.

[02:33] edson: Yes. IF some program has the cd in use/locked it wont work. try the eject command. [02:33] Dr_Willis, command eject from shell, working.

[02:34] edson: eject is always funny to do to a remote box while someone is using it also. :) [02:34] Jasonrj: does the network manager applet see you wifi device? [02:34] maco, Dr_Willis, bastid_raZor: is there some lock file I should delete or something to get metacity behaving?

I *am* logging out and back in to GNOME. [02:38] kwtm: it sounds like some of the gnome services are not starting up then. or somthing else goofy. how did you get in such a mess?

[02:48] i'll get on that and see how it goes from there :) [02:48] kwtm: no, there's not a problem [02:48] I can't install ubuntu 9.04 or 9.10.

[02:53] what is that [02:54] yeah [02:54] yes [02:54] cyber duck is a os x ssh program [02:54] is there someway i can unselect all entries in the update manager windows? [instead of having to click a 100 times] {slow net connection, prefer doing a few updates at a time!} [02:54] does anyone wanna give me the general format for the scp command, otherwise I will google it [02:54] osx has scp [02:54] i'm pretty sure [02:54] it does, i've done it before [02:54] one moment [02:54] scp files username@host:~/location (-r) [02:54] does anyone know how to change how sensitive the scrollwheel is in gnome apps/xorg [02:55] man scp [02:55] duckwars: general format is same as 'cp' thats how its designed [02:55] flags might need to go first [02:55] duckwars: see 'scp --help' [02:55] If I format my C drive, will I have to reinstall Ubuntu? [02:55] RaZor: it shows several partitions. I do the use all harddrive format, but when I continue the install it locks up [02:55] (It is on a partition of my C drive) [02:55] right, i just had to double click on the title! [02:55] Gnusboy in live environment (live cd) on the unmounted drive do in a terminal this.. fsck -f /dev/[sdWhatEver], force it, try to recover [02:55] Darkebrz: You mean you have ubuntu installed via WUBI on a windows partition? [02:56] Dr_Willis, nope off of a disk. [02:56] Good Evening, I need some help getting my VLC and gnome working together to play video with out the video stopping. [02:56] Darkebrz: if you delete a windows aprtition it shouldent affect a normally installed ubuntu system. [02:56] Gnusboy: follow iflema's advice. [02:56] Okay then. Just making sure. [02:56] Darkebrz: if you resize the partitions it MIGHT goof up the UUID's of the other filesystems [02:57] im trying to install ubuntu 9.04 - when i put in the cd - i get an x error when clicking Install Ubuntu - it drops me at a command line - is there a way to start an ncurses based installer? [02:57] and someone can suggest a good pdf reader? [what are my alternatives?] [02:57] done365: did you start vlc in a terminal [02:57] bastib_raZor he may have screwed it... [02:57] Darkebrz: if you reinstall windows. Windows will overwrite the MBR [02:57] how can i turn the sound ON in Ubuntu 9.04? [02:57] jami: No, I started in gnome [02:57] Dr_Willis, wha? [02:57] jeeez: i just use the default in Ubuntu for PDF> i forget what its even called. I rarely install the adobe one,. [02:57] RaZor: The error msg I get is "error removing ubiquity-frontend-gtk subprocess pre-removal script returned erro exit status 139 [02:58] como posso aumentar o volume no Ubuntu 9.04? Ta muito baixo [02:58] Darkebrz: Reinstalling windows or not? If yes.. then Windows install process will take over the MBR and erase GRUB. [02:58] Dr_Willis: evince i guess? [02:58] jeeez: proberly that one. :) i recall kde has one also ive used. [02:58] Does anyone need a blippy invite ? [02:58] I tried Fsck - it will not run [02:58] I have googled this and it seems to be a common problem with no clear solution [02:58] Dr_Willis, would Ubuntu still show up on the Windows MBR? [02:58] done365: start it in a terminal and you will see the error [02:58] I wonder if foxit reader ever started on their linux version anuy more. [02:58] How many users are in here ? [02:58] Does anyone need a blippy invite ? [02:58] I'm looking for a ppa with virt-manager 8.2... anyone know, or use virtualization with the latest virt-manager versions? [02:58] cripts [02:59] XDS, wrong channel [02:59] XDS: not on topic [02:59] Jami: will this error show in the terminal or in a log? [02:59] eat me [02:59] Gnusboy boot the live cd... try gparted... try fsck-f first unless youve messing around with different methods.... [02:59] Darkebrz: hard drives have a boot loader in the MBR windows will write its own loader there. or ubuntu puts grub there. [02:59] but you dont look very tasty... [02:59] I'm really hoping to figure out how to get virt-manager 8.2 installed... anyone have any tips, the forums and google are offering limited help [02:59] iflema: "error removing ubiquity-frontend-gtk subprocess pre-removal script returned erro exit status 139 [02:59] I tried building the package myself but when I installed it, a python dependency failed [02:59] done365: my vlc did it [03:00] gbear14275: check for PPA repos of it? [03:00] Gnusboy from live cd with gparted? [03:00] Dr_Willis, so if I format then install Windows I will not be able to boot into Ubuntu? [03:00] k sry ill stay on topic [03:00] okay, using scp i get about 182 k/s [03:00] done365: or look for an verbosity flag [03:00] Cabrobra, did you check the volume settings in the system tray (by the clock) [03:00] Dr_Willis: I've tried looking in a few... and was hoping maybe someone had a suggested one. Never worked with untrusted PPA's before [03:00] has anyone tried to install ubuntu from the cds command line installer? [03:00] it's weird too, because if I am scp'ing by itself i get about 180kb/s but if I have multiple going they will each go that fast [03:00] Gnusboy not the installl... one can load the entire desktop off the cd... [03:01] Darkebrz: formating has nothing to do with it.. WINDOWS installer will overwrite the MBR. If you have 2 hard drives.. You could put the ubuntu grub on the ubuntu hard drive.. and let windows keep on its own hd. Unplug the ubuntu HD when you install windiows. [03:01] Has anyone seen or heard from s9 , he/she was working on a HVR driver for Ubuntu :-/ [03:01] i cant seem to get it to start installing - startx fails [03:01] Darkebrz: then use the bios menus to pick what HD to boot. [03:01] iflema: Seems like everything on 9.04 freezes. and 9.10 will not instal from scratch either [03:01] Jami: thanks will look to see if it outputs an error code during the event. [03:02] anyone have any ideas how I can speed up my ssh over my LAN? [03:02] Gnusboy it is wise to try in a live environment first... have you done this with success with 9.10? [03:02] Ok, I will try that and see. I'm sure I tried it before with no luck [03:02] if I try to install ubuntulooks, it tells me that it will uninstall gnome-desktop. can I do without gnome-desktop, or will that bork my system? [03:02] icedtea': yes! itś in maximum [03:02] abumaia, ubuntu-desktop? [03:03] Gnusboy while ya there and theres no probs.... gparted the corrupted drive [03:03] if I wanted to have rsync recursively delete files/directories, would I do rsync -avh --delete-recursive /path/to/source /path/to/destination? [03:03] iflema: it will boot with CD but not without [03:03] Dr_Willis: this link https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virt-manager has a couple updated versions at the bottom of the page... is there a way to search the rest of the ppa's for a specific version of virt-manager? I tried clicking the link but it did not show which versions were in the ppa's [03:03] any advice on getting a windows ce device to appear as drive and sycn with evolotion? [03:03] how do I get ubuntu to run an xinitrc or xsession file in my home directory [03:03] my bad, ubuntu-desktop, yes [03:03] Cabrobra: I have to ask this, did you make sure your headphones/speakers are plugged in? [03:03] Again. Did somebody knows about weird 9.10 migration behaviour. All windows open in fullscreen mode and that sucks, I tried to remove .gnome* from my home but the settings are still there [03:04] iflema: Live environment = [03:04] abumaia: ubuntu-desktop is not needed, it's just the meta-package that depends on the default ubuntu packages, removing it is safe, so long as it doesn't try to remove other things at the same time [03:04] abumaia, sure it s just a metapackage, safe to remove [03:04] Gnusboy so the error message you gave before was from live cd with gparted? [03:04] paddymullen: make sure it's executable, and then when you login, choose "Run Xclient script" instead of "GNOME" or what-have-you [03:04] Dr_Willis: nvm... there are only 18... I can go through them by hand [03:04] I don't know for sure. I've been at it for a week [03:04] it lists ubuntu-desktop, ubuntu-artwork and human-theme [03:04] icedtea': yes! itś in maximum [03:04] Gnusboy https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD [03:05] iflema, ok i did that command. the result for network controller is "Broadcom Corp BCM4312 802.11B/G [03:05] iflema: I will try it all again and see what happens. At this point I'm ready to clean HD and go from there [03:05] icedtea': sorry... yes! In youtube i can listen good.. but seeing movies with totem, the sound is not great [03:05] kernel driver in use: b43-pci-bridge [03:05] Gnusboy: either your memory or your disk is corrupt. [03:06] what kind of speeds should I be recieving over my wireless local area network when I scp things? [03:06] jami: hardware seems fine - [03:06] Cabrobra: sorry, don't know then. :( [03:06] LordDragon tooo easy in synaptic package manager search for and install bcmwl-kernel-source then go to System / Administration / Hardware Drivers and activate [03:06] duckwars: if you have a cheap wlan router than thats the max [03:07] jami: I have a snazzy airport [03:07] where does the option for run xclient script comeup? [03:07] LordDragon you may need to open the restricted repo [03:07] boss_mc: it lists ubuntu-desktop, ubuntu-artwork and human-theme to uninstall when installing gnomelooks [03:07] jami: also, if the router were the chokepoint, why can I get files from the internet so much faster? [03:07] is there any particular reason not to wildly increase max-specpdl-size in emacs? [03:07] iflema, ok let me try that now [03:07] gah..ubuntulooks [03:07] duckwars: cause they are not encrypted [03:07] jami: Ok. I will try again with another new Live Cd [03:08] Back later. Tahnks [03:08] duckwars: your typical speeds for that network, maybe 90% of that at worst? [03:08] Gnusboy: check the memory first [03:08] although for small files you might lose some to setting up of connections etc [03:08] 90% of what? [03:08] whatever you normally get [03:08] somebody give another video player to Ubuntu 9.04, without be Totem [03:08] jami: I did mem check its ok. I will run it again [03:08] iflema, the only thing comes up inthe search is "bcmwl-modaliases". do i need internet access to get these proper drivers? [03:09] abumaia: you'll not be able to use the human theme (but I doubt you want to as your installing a new theme), other than that there should be no problem [03:09] I scp stuff across the network all the time and get pretty much whatever the network is capable of consistently, i barely notice the overhead, ymmv [03:09] thanks boss [03:09] well... I'm not sure what my maximum is from router to computer though, I donwload up to 1mb/s from the internet [03:09] Calrobra VLC [03:09] if "from the internet" includes "from router to computer" you should be getting that much [03:10] abumaia: np [03:10] but upload speed might be different, etc etc [03:10] LordDragon System / Administration / Software Sources enable the restricted repo.. [03:10] precisely, so why can i only get 180kb/s from my server on my own LAN? [03:10] LordDragon https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu [03:10] Cabrobra: mplayer, vlc [03:11] also keep in mind your router might be measuring 1mbps in megabits and scp probably measures things in MegaBytes (MiB) / KiloBytes /Kibobytes or whatever [03:11] hey guys i was wonder what the other options were with ext4, largefile, largefile4, newsfile?.. i'm trying to make a separate partition for /boot, wanted it to be for small files [03:11] so it's not 180kb/s but 180*8 or about 1Mbit [03:11] How can I add more then one local path on rsync on command line? [03:11] any idea what's the best way of installing a python library from source? i'm thinking of sth like "stow python setup.py install", but i'm not sure whether that is advisable? [03:11] jami: I did get a message after the error. "QOObject: :startTimer: QTimer cannot have a negative interval" if you know what that means [03:11] iflema, "proprietary drivers for devices (restricted)" is already checked in "software sources" [03:12] (180KiB/s on scp means 1.440 Mbit/sec) [03:12] hrm... but..... still I should be able to exchange more than 1mb/s just around my local area network shouldn't I? I can't even stream a movie without hiccups over sshfs [03:12] Installed some scanner drivers, and now gtk-window-decorator doesn't autostart (and metacity isn't starting either). Everything worked fine before. Any ideas? [03:12] you can probably give scp a flag to change what kind of kilobytes it uses [03:12] LordDragon oh what version are you 9.10 [03:12] yes 9.10 [03:12] LordDragon bcmwl-kernel-source [03:12] 9.10 desktop [03:13] whats the gui package for samba? [03:13] so i should be able to type sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source ? [03:13] LordDragon yes [03:13] If I am looking at a folder with symbolic links in it, what is the command to find the path that those links are to...? I'm not explaining this very well - it's something like >read libjavaplugin_oji.so [03:14] iflema, says it cant find that package [03:14] duckwars, only 1mb on lan? [03:14] yea [03:14] done365: and nothing else? did you run vlc -v 2 /path/foo.avi [03:14] NotTooSmart 1.4mbit on wireless [03:14] LordDragon and restricted repo is activated... and you typed bcmwl-kernel-source [03:14] I get about 2.8mb/s on wireless G [03:14] gmachine_24: ls -l [03:15] duckwars: for transfer speeds.. sshfs may be sluggish since its encrypted data. Ive not noticved any problems wih it on my local lan.. of course on a local lan NFS/samba would proberly be faster. === tmg1 is now known as tmg1|lorax [03:15] duckwars, yea like dr.willis says, that 2.8mb is on samba [03:15] jami, as in > ls -l libjavaplugin_oji.so ............? [03:15] Dr_Willis: what about AFP? [03:15] duckwars: nfs should be faster then samba, No idea what you mean by AFP [03:15] j #deluge [03:16] iflema, i went to software sources, and inthe list of downloadable from the internet it says "proprietary drivers for devices (restricted)' [03:16] i found with a pentium 2 i was limited to about 1 MB/s copying as sshd was pinned to 100% CPU for the encryption [03:16] do i need internet access to download the right drivers? [03:16] duckwars, if you use all linux/unix machines you can use NFS [03:16] LordDragon: normally yes. [03:16] Dr_Willis: Apple File Protocol, but I kidn of what encryption right, what if I am contacting the computer through the internet [03:16] jami, OK. You're right. Thanks. [03:16] duckwars: through the internet - You proberly better stick to sshfs then. and just deal with the speeds [03:17] duckwars: you could use straight ftp i guess.. but thats not as secure. [03:17] LordDragon yes ristricted component if your on 9.10 sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source [03:17] in scp it is saying 180 KB/s. IS that kilobytes, or kilabites, or which one? [03:17] this confuses me [03:17] duckwars: Isn't KB with capital B "bytes" and lower case "b" would be bits? [03:18] I have no idea [03:18] kwtm: the other way around actually [03:18] kwtm, i think so [03:18] which is the standard one a web browser would use? [03:18] kwtm: Yes [03:18] iflema, ok done. its installing now [03:18] woooo [03:18] iflema, after it installs, how do i activate it ? [03:18] Jeruvy: lol no it's not, KB= kilobyte Kb = Kilobit === SlowpokeBwaah is now known as Bwaah [03:19] LordDragon System / Administration / Hardware Drivers..... or scroll up and see what i posted earlier ;) [03:19] kibibyte [03:19] so I'm really going at 180KB/s [03:19] this is super slow [03:19] jami for 1024 bytes ja ;) [03:19] :-P [03:19] i need ubuntu teme [03:19] i have to go [03:19] thanks [03:20] i need ubuntu theme [03:20] ok... if I still have a .deb file... is there a way to reverse the commands it ran? I would like to "uninstall" a .deb [03:20] duckwars hey ive only 165 max [03:20] nafi: so? [03:20] nafi, go to gnome-look.org for themes [03:20] !themes > nafi [03:20] nafi, please see my private message [03:20] gbear14275, i believe you can still sudo apt-get remove programname [03:20] Hi. I'm using Ubuntu and I have a microphone [03:20] gbear14275: use the pacakge manager tools to uninstall the pacakge. [03:20] Anyone use the cheese webcam tool? It takes pictures and videos, but the display panel doesnt show me live [03:20] Jeruvy: Hmm, looks like dwoodard and SlowpokeBash agree with me. I always thought it was "big B" means bigger (a byte is bigger than a bit) [03:20] iflema, ok i found 2 drivers. broadcom b43 and broadcom sta [03:20] which do i choose? [03:20] How would I make a video showing my Ubuntu desktop and be talking about it at the same thing [03:20] I want to make a tutorial of Ubuntu. [03:21] daftykins: ah I read that wrong, your correct [03:21] Ronald_Regan: the 'record my desktop' app can do that. [03:21] !screencast | Ronald_Regan [03:21] Ronald_Regan: Some programs to capture your screen are recordmydesktop, Istanbul, Wink, Xvidcap, pyvnc2swf. Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts. [03:21] Dr_Willis: NotTooSmart: This .deb installed an untrusted PPA... but I'm getting some errors afterwards... not sure if it installed any packages [03:21] Tuxguy: did you set the video device correct [03:21] Dr_Willis: It will let me INput sound and show the desktop at the same time right? [03:21] Can someone tell me if compiz depends on python before 2.6? If I have python 2.6 installed, do I have to remove it before running the compiz settings manager? (It says Undefined Symbol in some library.) [03:21] Dr_Willis: NotTooSmart: ref...https://launchpad.net/~dnjl/+archive/virtualization [03:21] I have a magicjack and want to use on ubuntu. will it run with playonlinux or wine? [03:21] kwtm: ya I read that wrong my bad. [03:21] gbear14275: check yoru soruces.list file and /etc/apt/sources.d then to see what it added [03:21] gbear14275, NotTooSmart: Use "sudo dpkg -r -P " [03:21] LordDragon for me sta worked better.... but even better at the time was mobli/ubuntu remix.... things may have changed and ive the 4322 [03:21] kwtm: which one exactly [03:22] woodyjlw: from what i gather.. magicjack wont work in wine. [03:22] keepsake, thanks gbear14275 follow his advice. [03:22] woodyjlw: and playonlinux is just a front end to wine [03:22] thanks keepsake... will try it now [03:22] bazhang: I am impressed by your ability to remember ubotu keywords! [03:22] please, how can i check pendent updates? [03:22] LordDragon try sta... try em both [03:22] with apt i mean [03:22] jami: Umm... I'm running Jaunty, had Compiz working, then installed KDE 3 and now no longer. However, I did upgrade Python to 2.6; wonder if that's related. [03:23] or dpkg whatever [03:23] Dr_Willis, any other way to make it work without installing windows on vbox [03:23] obiwan_: Why not "update-manager"? [03:23] obiwan_: dependencies? [03:23] obiwan_: If you mean dependencies that's something else =P [03:23] i preffer terminal keepsake [03:23] woodyjlw: im not even sure it will work in vbox. [03:23] kwtm: (It says Undefined Symbol in some library.) what was the exact message [03:23] keepsake: dpkg: conflicting actions -P (--purge) and -r (--remove) [03:23] woodyjlw: check the forums perhaps. and the wine app database. there may be some work arounds [03:23] iflema, it says for the sta one "this driver is activated but not currently in use>" what does that mean [03:23] Whoa. THought I'd remove python and then reinstall, but that removes the whole system! [03:24] nope, i don't mean deps jami , i mean what update-manager outputs, but shown with apt or dpkg [03:24] keepsake: should i first run -r then -P [03:24] kwtm: removeing/reinstalling rarely fix's anything in Linuix. [03:24] kwtm: apt-get install --reinstall [03:24] gbear14275: Oh, my bad, use only -P [03:24] jami: ImportError /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/compizconfig.so: undefined symbol: ccsGetPluginStrExtensions [03:24] nope none of that works, i ran chmod +x, added a shebang #!/bin/bash, and even tried to make a .xsessionrc [03:24] gbear14275: If that doesn't work then -r [03:24] gbear14275, sudo apt-get --purge remove packagename [03:24] LordDragon there is another module currently try to run the card... as you posted earlier.... modprobe -r it or reboot [03:25] My copy of MonoDevelop has lost its menu bar, even with a re-install the menu bar hasn't come back :( [03:25] Dr_Willis: Even if I installed an unofficial python 2.6, which I *think* (not sure) was not done through apt-get? [03:25] obiwan_: sudo apt-get upgrade does the trick [03:25] bastid_raZor: Will try. Thx. [03:25] hey, I'm building a custom kernel for my box (so I can flashrom the bios), how do I make a new kernel flavor? [03:25] keepsake: might have done it wrong but I got this... dpkg: you must specify packages by their own names, not by quoting the names of the files they come in [03:25] are there any known workarounds for the cursed broadcom wifi chipsets? [03:25] keepsake: should i just use the package name? I used the path to the file [03:25] blendmaster1024: which broadcom do you have? [03:25] using "checkinstall setup python.py install"? (any idea what's the best way of installing a python library from source?) [03:25] gbear14275: Try that. [03:25] Oh, wait, Python *is* 2.6 in Jaunty, right? How can I tell? Aahhhh I am so mixed up... [03:26] not sure, last digit is 6, i know that, and i think the last digit is the key digit [03:26] anyone able to help with setup windows ce 6 device with Ubuntu? [03:26] kwtm: "python --version" [03:26] hello, is relatime still the default for ext4 in fstab on karmic? [03:26] hi [03:26] keepsake: same error :-/ [03:26] kwtm: python --version :) [03:26] MrKeuner, I dont know if its the default, but it's not needed. [03:26] I was curious: what is ubuntu? [03:26] keepsake: python --version is indeed 2.6.2. However, I'm trying to determine if that's the version that came with Jaunty already, or whether I put in a new version myself. [03:27] blendmaster1024: do a 'lspci -nn | grep 14e4' and paste me the line you get back [03:27] Andrew33, an operating system [03:27] Andrew33, wow, you managed to get here without already knowing? you should get a medal, no kidding [03:27] iflema, trying a reboot [03:27] kwtm: try to reinstall python-compizconfig compizconfig-settings-manager [03:27] LordDragon ok [03:27] NotTooSmart, you nick causing some trust issues but what about noatime? [03:27] HTT-Bird: I remember that I had upgraded to 2.6 because I needed some python command not present in 2.5 [03:27] kwtm: The version used is 2.6.4 at the moment. [03:27] haha thanks [03:27] kwtm: ah. :) [03:27] jami: will try Thanks. [03:27] HTT-Bird, i don't have the system up right now. just generally, are any of the ones that the foss driver doesn't work with workaroundable? [03:27] MrKeuner, mine looks like this... /dev/sda1 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1 [03:27] gbear14275: Try just using synaptic then >__< [03:28] blendmaster1024: you can use the Broadcom provided STA driver (wl.o). YMMSV [03:28] Oh, I *love* this apt-get install --reinstall option! It would have saved me so much time before! [03:28] NotTooSmart, I'll also go with that thanks [03:28] HTT-Bird, seriously? [03:28] (your milelage may seriously vary) [03:28] LOL [03:28] blendmaster1024: it is a binary blob driver, and may or may not work with your card [03:28] MrKeuner, simpler better [03:28] thanks and i know this is a lolfreezone [03:28] keepsake: I must have been thinking of my laptop, which is running Hardy (because SOMEONE decided that KDE 3 users were to be dragged screaming and kicking into KDE 4!!!!) [03:28] yesssssss [03:29] however, if 4306 rings a bell, you should use b43legacy [03:29] keepsake: different q... are the actions a .deb file takes all documented in the terminal you can view as it installs? I can just reverse those commands couldn't I? Would that reverse the package install? [03:29] you rule iflema ! [03:29] thanks man === Bwaah is now known as FatAlbert [03:29] HTT-Bird, that would be it. [03:29] "legacy"... === FatAlbert is now known as Bwaah [03:29] Anyone know if an ATI RX1950Pro is supported by ATI in ubuntu 9.10? I just installed it and so far like the previous ATI I had, an X300, it is complete rubbish (very fancy and large rubbish). [03:29] LordDragon lastime i fell and broke my crown [03:29] blendmaster1024: yeah, use b43legacy [03:29] gbear14275: Not all the actions are documented, but either way, you shouldn't try to uninstall a package that way. [03:29] anyone able to help with setup windows ce 6 device with Ubuntu? [03:29] hmm, is it entirely in the repo? [03:30] NotTooSmart, what about non root partition's entry in fstab? [03:30] blendmaster1024: yes, it's in the kernel [03:30] jami: Did not work, same message. How can I find by cmd-line: which DEB package contains the file /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/compizconfig.so ? [03:30] Spirits-Sight, i'm sure someone is. but nobody so far has been able to help. [03:30] smegzor: you can either use the latest fglrx that supports your card, or use radeon [03:30] HTT-Bird, does b43legacy come preinstalled? [03:30] blendmaster1024: no clue [03:30] MrKeuner, that line can be modified for those too just change the mount point [03:30] paw through /lib/modules [03:30] gbear14275: What's the package you're trying to remove? [03:30] any opebox users? I'm running ubuntu karmic with openbox - i'd like to run cairodock and xcompmgr automatically, but when i add it to my openbox autorun file, it seems they start before openbox does [03:30] thanks. i'll try that. [03:30] MrKeuner, and the device obviously [03:30] !find [03:30] Search for a package or a file: !find [03:30] errors=remount-ro should not be there no/ [03:31] that factiod is incorrect [03:31] NotTooSmart, errors=remount-ro should not be there no? [03:31] ok so this is the command, apt-get -u upgrade, that shows upgradeable files hehe :) thanks jami and keepsake for your help [03:31] MrKeuner, well, I like it since it remounts your date read only if your system goes hay-wire [03:31] faileas: make them launch from a script that has a delay of about 20 sec at the start. [03:31] MrKeuner, it helps prevent data loss [03:31] smegzor: fglrx = ATI proprietary, faster but especially older versions are fragile [03:31] MrKeuner, you can remove it if you like [03:31] Dr_Willis: how? [03:31] obiwan_: You don't need the -u there if you have upgrade, but yes =P [03:31] you need "find -name " [03:31] keepsake: https://launchpad.net/~dnjl/+archive/virtualization installation instructions include a .deb file... I think all it did was install the gpg keys though but I'm not sure [03:31] HTT-Bird: I tried the usual tricks, enabling visual effects (couldn't), and running system/admin/hardware drivers but none were found there either. [03:31] i mean, is there a wait command? [03:31] smegzor: o.O [03:31] I completely screwed up my computer by choosing the separate x display option in the nvidia settings program, it made me restart my computer and now both monitors are not showing my desktop. One has a blinking underscore at the top left and thats it. How can I revert whatever that tool did? [03:32] kwtm: ldd [03:32] NotTooSmart, don't I need defaults? [03:32] smegzor: 'glxinfo | grep direct' [03:32] faileas: make a script.. sleep 20 , command &, command2 & [03:32] do you see "Direct rendering: yes"? [03:32] gbear14275: Yeah, that doesn't install a package unless you manually install one later. [03:32] faileas, sleep = wait [03:32] if you see "Direct rendering: no", you have a broken Mesa/DRI setup [03:32] MrKeuner, no many different things will work, its linux not windows, you need what you need. [03:32] horizxon: you could move the /etc/X11/xorg.conf somewhere and restart X - with no xorg.conf it shoudl go back to defaults [03:32] HTT-Bird: it says GLX missing on display.. [03:33] horizxon: i never want t use the seperate X display feature. [03:33] smegzor: ok, you are missing Mesa/... [03:33] wow. ati on linux. don't think anything is worse than that. intel maybe, actually, but it's a close one. [03:33] zsnes crashes with a double free or corruption error when i try to use a joystick device [03:33] blendmaster1024: intel i find works much better then ati.. :) [03:33] thansk ill try it [03:33] jami: explain. Do you want me to run the "ldd" command? [03:33] blendmaster1024: ati on linux isn't that bad with very recent (post AMD) fglrx, or with recent radeon [03:33] from what I hear at least [03:33] HTT-Bird: I have a recent driver installer from ATI. I'll see if there is a newer one first before trying that. [03:33] Dr_Willis, really? you've got lucky [03:33] kwtm: yes [03:33] smegzor: no, don't use fglrx yet [03:33] Dr_Willis, nvidia i find works best on ubuntu :-D [03:33] NotTooSmart, ok thank you [03:33] blendmaster1024: i see MUCH more problems in here with ATi then i do intel [03:33] smegzor: your card is supported by the FOSS r300 driver [03:34] jami: oh, that's the answer to my question! I see. Sorry. === sixtila is now known as Guest88420 [03:34] Dr_Willis: fglrx issues I take it? :d [03:34] HTT-Bird, oh i see i have to deal with 100% pre-amd [03:34] blendmaster1024: most of those pre-amd cards should be supported by r300 [03:34] MrKeuner, no problem [03:34] kwtm: ldd will list the dependency of the library [03:34] which is the Mesa/DRI driver for radeons :D [03:34] Had the open sourcing of ATI's specs helped the driver along very much? [03:34] Has* [03:34] HTT-Bird, yes but it's very very bad support. none of my pixel shaders cards work - the system freezes when i try [03:34] Dr_Willis: i'll give that a shot. I'm learning a lot from non standard configs ;p [03:35] is it going to be possible for me to install grub to my raid, i have a real ide raid controller? [03:35] tjagoda: empty promises for teh most part from what ive seen/heard/ [03:35] HTT-Bird, that is unless i'm using nvidia, which i do anytime i possibly can [03:35] blendmaster1024: heh, *is an nvidia guy* [03:35] Anyone know how to change the scanner source in xsane? [03:35] The intel graphics that came with this system76 work great [03:35] even with full desktop effects [03:35] intel for me is buggy as heck unless I run a really recent mesa [03:35] HTT-Bird, of course, much better than intel and ati doesn't seem to work [03:35] tjagoda: there's a particular bunch of common cards which have an issue [03:35] Intel on my netbook works devcently well. :) [03:36] iirc the gma 500s [03:36] tjagoda, so does my intel dual core laptop [03:36] jami: Sorry, ldd seems to point to what files I need. WHat I'm looking for is: /usr/lib/...blabla.../compizconfigsettings.so is contained in the deb package "compiz-settings-kde3" or something. [03:36] tjagoda did they open source... when? [03:36] blendmaster1024: Dr_Willis: I am just testing a radeon 9600 mobility with a 2.6.33-rc4 with the ati driver ppa. Oh lord... it's a miracle...!!! Never have I seen such a progress with my GPU. It's just amazing... [03:36] Dr_Willis, then your card must be brand-new [03:36] My hd2400 pro works pretty well with the fglrx drivers from AMD D= [03:36] iflema: a long time ago [03:36] minimec: are you using fglrx or r200/r300? [03:36] jami: Then I would ask: "which packages depend on compiz-settings-kde3 (or whatever package)"? and try to find why the library isn't there. [03:36] Anyone know how to get the iPod Shuffle 'Model A1271' to work on Ubuntu? GTKpod doesn't seem to recognize it. [03:36] iflema: you can probably find it with an "open source ati" search on slashdot [03:36] * blendmaster1024 goes to bed: nobody say my nick anymore [03:37] I'm surprised more people don't think of running the r300 stuff, it seems ati = fglrx for most people, which is not true :p [03:37] How can I copy an entire usb (including partitions) to another usb? [03:37] neil1: dd [03:37] dd works for any and all devices ;) [03:37] HTT-Bird: ati opensource driver with kms enabled, the mentioned kernel with ati driver ppa... [03:37] Hi - I'm trying to boot Ubuntu into text mode, I'm told that's done by choosing 'recovery' at GRUB, but GRUB only shows 'loading grub' and goes straight onto ubuntu. what should i do? [03:37] you can even dd from/to character specials, not just block devs ;) [03:38] neil1, sudo dd if=/dev/device1 of=/dev/device2 [03:38] HTT-Bird: how would I stucture this command? [03:38] ahh [03:38] minimec: ah :DDDDD [03:38] neil1, man dd [03:38] neil dd if="" of="" [03:38] -.- [03:38] blendmaster1024: actually its over a year old. [03:38] My computer won't react to disc being inserted [03:38] HTT-Bird: I'm not sure which of the xserver-xorg drivers I need in synaptic for my RX1950. I'm tossing between the xserver-xorg-video-radeon or the xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd [03:38] Dr_Willis: " * blendmaster1024 goes to bed: nobody say my nick anymore " [03:38] jami: Oh, for crying out loud, I didn't install compizconfig-settings-manager-kde3, just the ordinary compizconfig-settings-manager (not KDE3). Maybe that's it. :P [03:38] tjagoda now its half a dud [03:39] minimec: speaking of kernels, I have a 2.6.28 source sitting in front of me, how do I make a new target/flavor of kernel? [03:39] iflema: only half? [03:39] smegzor: use radeon, radeonhd isn't what you want [03:39] Hmm.. Flash is not working now on facebook on Firefox.. but it is on Google Chrome.. how.. odd... [03:39] neil1: the easiest way is to use usb-imagewriter [03:39] tjagoda mmm [03:39] faileas: dd's still good to know [03:39] ok... last question... is there anything I can do about these errors? Its with that website I think so the answer should be no... just want to check... http://paste.ubuntu.com/357859/ [03:39] tjagoda open good..... ati... well... [03:39] hmm.. actually I already have that one installed and I don't get accelerated graphics or wobbly windows :( [03:39] I miss being able to set questions as solved in answers [03:39] HTT-Bird: if someone knows how to use DD, they won't need to ask ;p [03:39] gbear14275: You probably need a login to download those files. [03:39] smegzor: http://www.x.org/wiki/RadeonFeature http://www.x.org/wiki/radeonhd%3Afeature [03:40] faileas: true, but it's still good to learn [03:40] Does anyone know how come the my computer won't react to disc such as that. [03:40] LinuX2half: is HAL running and polling your removable media drives? (cd/dvd/...) [03:40] Dead CD-drive? [03:40] if HAL's b0rked, cds won't automount [03:40] LinuX2half: can you mount /dev/cdrom manually? [03:41] Should I try installing the official binary driver from ATI or will that hose my display like it does for the X300? [03:41] smegzor: don't install the binary driver yet [03:41] HTT-Bird: I do nor understand your question... [03:41] smegzor: good luck [03:41] smegzor: make sure that all your mesa packages are installed and there are no stray bits of fglrx still floating around [03:42] HTT-Bird: hmm.. well so far I already have the driver you directed me to and the ATI card only gives me a high res display, nothing more. [03:42] minimec: you know how kernels are '-generic' '-server' ...? [03:42] smegzor: let me think here...do you have a libGL.so in /usr/lib? [03:42] I can't complain too hard. the card was given to me for free. the last one caught on fire. [03:42] smegzor, wow, what were you doing lol [03:42] jami: Darn, still didn't do it even with the -kde3 version installed. [03:42] It's never a good day when you have to put out your computer, smegzor. =P [03:43] nothing. it was a factory defect on the card. [03:43] i stopped the comp FAST I can tell you :) [03:43] HTT-bird: here's what I get; http://www.ubuntu.pastebin.com/m5cfbed12 [03:43] smegzor: suckish. anyway, lspci -vv and see if the r300 DRM module loads [03:43] LinuX2half: check your syslog [03:44] HTT-Bird: So you wnt to compile a new kernel and give it a special name '-mykernel'? [03:44] minimec: those are kernel flavors/targets (I'm looking at Kernel/Compile on the wiki) [03:44] minimec: exactly! :) [03:44] I get a bit worried about my fellow community members when I see things like "Ubuntu Satanic Edition" in launchpad. =P [03:45] tjagoda: its just a bunch of themes (really great for halloween, i might add) [03:45] hah [03:45] HTT-Bird: http://pastebin.org/77509 I'm not sure if it loaded or not.. [03:45] HTT-Bird: I can't seem to access the file [03:46] HTT-bird: I've tried using gedit /var/log/syslog [03:46] LinuX2half: you need to be root (aka use sudo) to read logs [03:46] LinuX2half: less /var/log/syslog ..works great [03:46] smegzor: do you have a CrossFire setup? [03:46] HTT-Bird: smegzor: let me think here...do you have a libGL.so in /usr/lib YES I do. [03:46] HTT-Bird, LinuX2half: cat /var/log/syslog works [03:46] keepsake: yes, I use less myself [03:47] HTT-Bird: hmm... Rather good question. Last time I compiled a kernel, they got something like a '-custom' label, if I remember well. Man that is long time ago... So I have no answer to your question. [03:47] HTT-Bird: What is crossfire? [03:47] smegzor: where you have two gfx cards in the same system, working together to render things [03:47] if you mean video card fire, I had it but uninstalled it recently. [03:47] I saw you had a secondary gfx adapter in that system for some odd reason... [03:47] I only have 1 pci-e slot [03:47] btw "checkinstall python setup.py install" is the best way to install python-twisted from svn source/trunk [03:47] smegzor: wha? [03:48] how the heck do you have a secondary graphics adapter then? [03:48] anyone has a remote control to recommend thats compatible with linux and not too expensive? [03:48] I don't [03:48] bastid_raZor, keepsake: thanks [03:48] smegzor: either that or you have 1 card with 2 GPUs on it [03:48] hi there, does anyone know what component is this, http://www.imatica.org/fotos/ubuntu910boot1.jpg ?, I wanna change it, but I don't know what file modify, it appears after I select ubuntu in the grub [03:48] possibly. I know nothing about this card except that it is a hated ATI. [03:48] smegzor: because you definitely have 2 GPUs floating around your system, either that or something else bizarre [03:48] hydrozen: you may want to ask in #mythbuntu - ivwe been looking for one myself. but none seem totally idiot proof.. [03:49] I preferred my NVidia, but that card is the card that burned. [03:49] HTT-Bird: what should I be looking for? [03:49] LinuX2half: look for anything with sr0 in it :) [03:49] or sg0 [03:49] chilicuil: thats the usplash screen. its really not worth messing with. and its a pain to change. [03:49] !usplash [03:49] To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork [03:49] chilicuil: i think the epidermis tool can help change it [03:49] smegzor: pastebin the output from lspci -vvnn relating to your second gfx card k? [03:50] usplash?, I thought Ubuntu was using XSplash, now Dr_Willis [03:50] chilicuil: it is using xsplash [03:50] Ok, I'm gonna check it out, thx Dr_Willis [03:50] chilicuil: usplash is part of the kernel.. xsplash is right after uisplash [03:50] xplash is silly also.. [03:50] hello [03:50] all this work just to keep people from seeing 'text' messages..... [03:51] HTT-Bird: http://pastebin.org/77513 I'm pretty sure this is just the same output as last time, but here you go.

The error --> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/f76e82679 [04:03] HTT-Bird: so then the OS must be causing the problem then... [04:03] HTT-Bird: Maybe when upgrading to Karmic messed things up [04:03] LinuX2half: perhaps, it could be an intermittent hw problem, those do exist :) [04:03] jami: The second one? I tried to do it in the same manner as I did with eth1, so I put wlan0 as 192.168.0.2 and followed some guide on how to make it connectable. I found the wireless network card on my laptop and managed to connect, but I could not ping anything. Not even the wlan card. [04:03] minimec: Okay, I'll try. [04:03] ryanCH, what ver of ubuntu are you on? [04:04] HTT-Bird: hw intermittent problem? What issues are those?

The error --> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/f76e82679 [04:04] HTT-Bird: Is that some kind of hardware? [04:04] LinuX2half: loose connection, bad solder joint, marginal transistor on some chip somewhere, resistor or capacitor on the very edge of its tolerance range, ... [04:04] yeah, hw is short for hardware :) [04:04] minimec: I got this: http://pastebin.com/mfdabed0 [04:05] !ops PapiChi [04:05] I'm having trouble connecting to the net using the onboard wireless adapter on my laptop using ndiswrapper tells me its unable to see if hardware is present could someone help plz [04:05] !ops [04:05] Help! Channel emergency! (ONLY use this trigger in emergencies) - elky, Madpilot, tritium, Nalioth, tonyyarusso, PriceChild, Amaranth, jrib, Myrtti, mneptok, Pici, Jack_Sparrow, jpds, bazhang, jussi01, Flannel or ikonia! [04:05] HTT-Bird you rude little man [04:05] HTT-Bird: oh, but is there a solution to this..? [04:05] zagabar: paste ifconfig -a [04:05] LinuX2half: replace the drive probably [04:06] HTT-Bird you pass off your incompetence with saying "intermittent hardware problem" [04:06] HTT-Bird I find that reprehensible [04:06] HTT-Bird: replace it? Why? I thought its fine...? [04:06] PapiChi: I/O errors are usually hardware-related. [04:06] LinuX2half he has no idea what he is talking about. In fact, I think he's a troll [04:06] jami: http://pastebin.com/m561ec601 [04:06] PapiChi: I Just noticed flash not working in firefox on facebook.. but GoogleChrome flash is working on facebook.. go figure.. [04:06] LOLOLOLOLOL. [04:06] Dr_Willis thank you [04:07] [ 1.344958] ata1.01: limited to UDMA/33 due to 40-wire cable [04:07] what does this message mean???? [04:07] NotTooSmart: grab an 80wire cable if you want UDMA/133 speeds [04:07] NotTooSmart: you need a 80 pin ide cable perhaps.. [04:07] NotTooSmart it means you have the wrong cable, you need an 80 wire [04:07] NotTooSmart: you need a different cable to use the faster mode [04:07] 4 answers! [04:07] lol [04:07] all the same thing. :) get a new cable [04:07] how can I tell the dif im sure I got one? [04:07] zagabar: can you set 'sudo iwconfig eth1 mode ad-hoc'? [04:08] and they say exactly what the error messge is basically saying.. :) [04:08] count the wires? :) [04:08] lol [04:08] NotTooSmart: the 40-wire is a flat ribbon, the 80-wire looks like it's been braided. It'll be labeled as 80-wire, and it will cost more :) [04:08] Dr_Willis: you know, that error message papi posted looks...not like an error message at all. :o (I have my suspicions about what he could be) [04:08] my 80 pins also have a different colour stripe on the ends [04:08] I don't think replacing the drive should be a solution at all. [04:08] I got all facny 'round' ide cables now. [04:08] how can i change the notification tray settings in xfce? [04:09] HTT-Bird hey now, let's not get nasty [04:09] PapiChi: forgive me for asking, but where the heck did you get that error message from? console? syslog? [04:09] I simply don't recognize it >.> [04:09] HTT-Bird when I asked in #debian [04:09] So the problem is how come the computer won't react to the inserted disc. [04:09] Dr_Willis, on an old machine, is it worth the new cable? [04:10] zagabar: and now you want to communicate between eth1 and wlan0. both gatewac eth0? [04:10] NotTooSmart probably yes, it'll make a noticable difference in I/O [04:10] Dr_Willis: have you built a kernel recently btw? [04:10] minimec: Same error about operation not supported. Isn't it the wlan0 that's supposed to have adhoc? Connecting other computers via cable to eth1 works. [04:10] When I'm still using jaunty, they always pop up a blank CD or DVD [04:10] NotTooSmart: it's probably the cheapest speed boost you could ever do on an old machine. [04:10] NotTooSmart plus, it's cheap [04:10] Snausages, alright thanks. [04:10] Now its totally gone like the option for that is disabled. [04:10] as Snausages said [04:10] NotTooSmart: do you have a UDMA133 controller? [04:10] HTT-Bird: not in 4+ years [04:10] Is there something I should be aware about here? [04:10] if you do, then grab the 80wire cable and rock on [04:10] HTT-Bird, im not sure, its a machine I just for listening to music, its a dell dimension 2400 [04:11] HTT-Bird I recently had to recompile a kernel. Why? [04:11] jami: Yeah. I want to be able to connect computers wirelessly to wlan0 and wiredly to eth1 and then they should get internet connections. [04:11] Dr_Willis: because I am building a custom kernel for my box with CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM=n [04:11] zagabar: if you have no access point you have to switch on adhoc mode [04:11] im going to add a bluetooth card to my gatway ms2252 notebook and was wondeing if anyone could suggest a good preforming card that ubuntu is cool with ? [04:12] and I want to know if I need to take any precautions to prevent that kernel from clobbering my existing one [04:12] I think it has a dma/100 controller [04:12] HTT-Bird nope [04:12] NotTooSmart: dma/100 should work over 40wire [04:12] jami: on wlan0? [04:12] how do I enable auto mount? [04:12] HTT-Bird they will co-exist happily, with NO suspect error messages [04:12] HTT-Bird, dunno its saying its configured for 33 [04:12] !mount [04:12] mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [04:12] zagabar: That was for testing purposes. In ad-hoc mode, two computers can be connected together (That would be like a twisted pair wired connection). What kind of wifi device is that, as I know that not all devices are supporting all modes. Depends on the driver I think. [04:12] zagabar: yes [04:12] HTT-Bird as long as your boot loader sees them both it's all good [04:12] jg: the important bit is the chipset- the cambridge silicon chipset works perfectly with ubuntu. [04:13] PapiChi: my concern is that when I install the new kernel, it will overwrite the old one :P lol [04:13] will ubuntu even use bluetooth ? [04:13] how do enable auto mount? [04:13] and I won't have the old kernel available to me any longer [04:13] jgcampbell300: yes, works fine for certain things, see my comment above [04:13] minimec: I see. The device is a 01:0b.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88w8335 [Libertas] 802.11b/g Wireless (rev 03) [04:13] HTT-Bird no, the old one is always there [04:13] HTT-Bird it's been that way since ... forever [04:13] minimec: and I am using an XP driver. [04:13] Snausages oh sorry missed it ... thanks much [04:13] jgcampbell300: I've used it for keyboards & mice without issue. Looks like everything is in place for audio support, like a headset. Other uses? hmm, dunno [04:14] jami: How can I turn on adhoc for wlan0 then? [04:14] well, PapiChi forgive me for my ignorance with respect to your issue...I thought you were asking about a bogus package or something [04:14] ya was gona try to use it with my mouse and iphone [04:14] jgcampbell300: I've not personally attempted bluetooth audio in ubuntu. I did research bluetooth tethering from my mobile phone, looked like a major pain. [04:14] and got really confused when I saw the error message :( [04:14] HTT-Bird I still have the utmost respect for you [04:15] kk thanks man [04:15] zagabar: Hmmm... You use ndiswrapper? I have no idea, if you can switch modes, using the WinXP driver. [04:15] PapiChi: now to your issue :) what spat out that error message you pastebinned us? it looks quite bizarre [04:16] now im off to buy a hd and bluetooth card ... just cleaned my notebook for the first time and found extra hard drive bay and extra slot for BT card .. figgured i would fill it up while i can lol [04:16] minimec: thats right [04:16] HTT-Bird could you remind us what the error message is? [04:16] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/f76e82679 [04:16] what is the xfce equivalent of the gconf-editor [04:16] jgcampbell300: though it seems odd, you may do better with USB bluetooth... there are tiny ones which only protrude from the usb ports by a couple mm [04:16] HTT-Bird oh, I'm afraid that is the wrong pastebin address [04:17] minimec, jami : btw, I noticed something weird. When I restart the network it says "Failed to bring up wlan0." even though I can see it in ifconfig. [04:17] kk [04:17] PapiChi, HTT-Bird the red stripe indicates 80wire? [04:17] HTT-Bird it was http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m7dae00e4 ... but dont' worry [04:18] HTT-Bird I have installed the old plugin [04:18] NotTooSmart: nearly all cables have a red stripe, it's just to indicate pin #1 so you don't hook it up backwards [04:18] NotTooSmart sorry, without taking the cover off my box I can't remember :-) Google is your friend [04:18] ya this notebook only holds 3 usb ports and most of the time there filled .. accualy i would be saveing one port from the mouse [04:18] PapiChi: ok. :) there we go, that looks more like a sane error message ;) [04:18] hey guys how do i load or reload ethernet modules from cli? [04:18] HTT-Bird actually, I must say I find that pastebin you posted quite rude [04:19] nellmathew: insmod/rmmod [04:19] thanks HTT-Bird [04:19] PapiChi: which is exactly why I was wondering where the heck it came from in the first place. :) [04:19] nellmathew: modprobe and lsmod are helpful in your quest as wel [04:19] *well [04:19] NotTooSmart: if the ribbon has all the wires perfectly parallel, it's 40wire. If you see pairs of wires crossing each other in a repeating braid pattern, that's an 80-wire [04:19] well im off [04:19] Anyway, sometimes I wish the flash plugin was not a plugin but some kind of native code! Too bad HTML5 never addressed this [04:20] lol [04:20] PapiChi: HTML5 does replace some uses of flash with something native [04:20] how do I mount an iso? I want to install a few iso's in wine [04:20] Can anyone help me figure out why I'm having trouble launching my network manager? Errors: http://paste.ubuntu.com/357870/ [04:20] faileas yeah, but people still use the horror that is flash [04:20] minimec: I tried "sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc" and that seemed to work. It didn't complain at least. It was eth1 who didn't want to change mode. [04:20] zagabar: wait... So you have three devices... wired eth0+1 and a wireless wlan0. I was wrong... ;) 'sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode master' [04:20] PapiChi: you mean abuse ;p [04:20] hey, i'm having an issue reinstalling ubuntu 9.10 - the installer will just randomly reboot during the install, but at different times... [04:20] PapiChi: no kidding, flash is both horror and abuse [04:20] faileas exactly. Probably mostly for the LSO cookies [04:21] it comes after GRUB killed itself and wouldn't load the operating system as well [04:21] PapiChi: have you seen click2flash on mac os? I want something like that for ubuntu, with regards to youtube [04:21] flexible: that sounds like hardware perhaps? [04:21] HTT-Bird agreed [04:21] Snausages hmm I haven't but I'll check it out === freevryheid is now known as fvs [04:21] I could rant about flash for hours. I'd better stop ;) [04:21] HTT-Bird - possibly, but what would hardware and how do i test [04:22] PapiChi: when you go to youtube with the c2f plugin installed, it extracts the root URL of the h.264 video and pipelines that into quicktime, bypassing flash altogether. [04:22] any undelete for ext4? [04:22] zagabar: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/ndiswrapper/index.php?title=FAQ#Is_master_mode_or_promiscuous_mode_supported.3F [04:22] minimec: Ah, okay. Yeah, I have three. Hmm that command failed. It says invalid argument. [04:22] Snausages ah, interesting. A bit hacky, but a solution [04:22] PapiChi: it works so well you start thinking that flash is the "hacky" way :) === alex_280 is now known as alexsuraci [04:23] zagabar: master mode is not supported in ndiswrapper... So you can connect one more computer via wireless in ad-hoc mode. [04:23] PapiChi: anyway, I want something like it for ubuntu, no dice yet [04:23] lost my angband savefile :( [04:23] Snausages: learn npapi and write it ;) [04:24] fvs photorec or testdisk maybe [04:24] Snausages: on the other hand, when HTML5 is wider spread... you wouldn't have to do that [04:24] minimec: Aww, too bad. :/ Hm, what do you mean? Don't you mean "can't" and not "can"? [04:24] faileas I'm sure MS will break standards on the client side [04:25] PapiChi: MS is realising that they need to keep up ;p [04:25] faileas: so what's holding it back? [04:25] besides, there's always flash as a fallback [04:25] RobotCow - disk is fine, computer overheated and cut out, but savefiile broke [04:25] Computer isn't reacting to disc inserted. [04:25] I have no idea where to even start to get my ssh speeds over my LAN faster. Right now I only get 300KB/s over my LAN, when I can easily download 1MB/s over the internet... any thoughts? [04:25] Snausages: for one thing, there's a bit of arguement between ogg and h.264 iirc [04:26] duckwars: hmmm, does SSH rely on Nagling the way telnet does? [04:26] faileas: weird... why wouldn't it support * for video and plan for the browser to pipe it to whatever media system it already has? [04:26] Snausages: standards need to be... well standards. we wouldn't be in the mess with IE otherwise [04:27] I'm not sure what Nagling is... [04:27] i updated my pidgin, and now the an icon doesn't show in the gnome-panel, nor does it show under the envelope icon [04:27] the idea is to have it done BY the browser [04:27] faileas exactly [04:27] faileas: that's a lame idea. I guess I'm done hoping for html 5 now [04:27] though the browser might have its own codec support [04:27] DuCkNeT: putc() a bunch of things into a socket ;) then you'll find out about nagling [04:27] We need enforceable standards with the death penalty as a penalty [04:28] Snausages: not really - how its implemented depends on the browser, but you WILL know any html5 browser WILL work with them [04:28] PapiChi: eh, first, you need to agree on a standard [04:28] zagabar: Check the mode of your wlan0 now. It should be in ad-hoc mode. IN that mode you can directly connect another wireless computer that is in ad-hoc mode too. If you want to connect to a router, you have to set the card in 'managed' mode. So you should be able to connect one wireless computer with your wlan0 in ad-hoc mode. That computer should be able to use the internet via eth0, if you set the routing right. wlan0 should have 19 [04:28] faileas: fair enough. I want browsers that just passthru to my native media infrastructure. [04:29] faileas that's what the W3C is meant to be for [04:29] how do I mount an iso? I want to install a few iso's in wine [04:29] !loop [04:29] mount on loopback [04:29] !loopback [04:29] To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [04:29] Well I reckon the computing world is 10+ years away from standardizing video codecs... would hate to see html 5 get held up waiting. === Nightw0lf is now known as Nightwolf [04:30] faileas and bodies like ISO and IETF are there. It is about different corporations/bodies adhereing to their standards [04:30] Snausages: I'd like a standard container at least :) (that way the codec march of technology can continue going, without file format differences throwing another spanner into the works) [04:30] !ot | PapiChi [04:30] PapiChi, please see my private message [04:31] minimec: Oh, I see. Yes it is in ad-hoc mode right now. However when I connect to it from my laptop I still cannot ping anyhing. Then something else is wrong. wlan0 should have 19 what? 192.168.0.19 ? [04:31] Guys, is there anyway I can change my user name? [04:31] zagabar: let it find an IP itself === sshc_ is now known as sshc [04:32] zagabar: or use the 192.168.0.19 on your wlan0 and use like 192.168.0.20 on the other box, assuming /24 netmask [04:32] isolat3dsh33p: Ubuntu username? [04:32] HTT-Bird: still sounds like a tall order... it would have to be ridiculously open (therefore open to abuse) and would likely have to avoid carrying any kind of license at all, just to be compatible with enough other licenses to make it practical & popular [04:33] PapiChi: more or less. i'd point out someone managed to make MS OpenXML a standard ;p [04:33] HTT-Bird, yes I guess. The UserID 1000 [04:33] Can anyone help me figure out why I'm having trouble launching my network manager? Errors: http://paste.ubuntu.com/357870/ [04:33] faileas oh no. You hit upon the other thing I like to rant about ;) [04:33] Snausages: why would a container's license have anything to do with the licenses of the codecs used by the streams within that container? [04:33] there is no more alsaconf in ubuntu ? ..... i 'm on karmic, what does replace it ? [04:34] how do I mount an iso? I want to install a few iso's in wine [04:34] HTT-Bird: guess I was thinking more about the browsers that open the containers, rather than the content inside them. [04:34] what is the 'windows network' in Network folder? (or how it works?) [04:34] zagabar: The card of the computer that wants to connect to wlan has to be in ad-hoc mode too.. Your eth0 has 192.168.0.1 or something... right? So wlan0 must have something like 192.168.1.1 or something. You also need to enable masquerading... http://news.softpedia.com/news/Share-Internet-Connection-and-Set-up-Port-Forward-with-Guidedog-50091.shtml [04:34] !loopback | clayg [04:34] clayg: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [04:34] clayg you were told [04:35] i have an ide raid card (must be fakeRaid, because i can see the individual drives in some circumstances); will it be possible to create a /boot outside of the regular raid? [04:35] isolat3dsh33p: man usermod [04:35] I appreciate it HTT-Bird [04:35] and PapiChi sorry, I didn't see the screen lit up [04:35] p [04:35] HTT-Bird, ok, thanks :) [04:35] clayg ok, sorry. It just hit 40C (104F) here. I'm a little grumpy ;) [04:36] there is no more alsaconf in ubuntu ? ..... i 'm on karmic, what does replace it ? [04:36] HTT-Bird: that said, the container would have to be open to all sorts of stuff inside it- multiple av streams, packaged proprietary drm schemes, all sorts of metadata and "infinite" forward extensibility [04:36] :) [04:37] need help with new installation and adding a home partition on second hdd [04:37] minimec: Oh, so the two cards cannot be on the same subnet? I will try. I think masquerading is enabled... at least I can connect with computers to eth1. === yy is now known as Guest15321 [04:37] does anyone know where should i go for any questions on ubuntu training [04:37] wolfgangcs, are you using a standard install cd? [04:38] maliks right here === Guest15321 is now known as Tinman_usa [04:38] maliks just start using it, then asking [04:38] great. i am looking for a book to study ucp. any recommendations? [04:38] i have no more sound mates, i don't know why ... i think it's like that since i upgrade to 2.6.31-17 ubuntu kernel [04:38] i have no more sound mates, i don't know why ... i think it's like that since i upgrade to 2.6.31-17 ubuntu kernel [04:38] I'm outta here. :) gotta get some sleep [04:38] uttons840: ordered a desktop from ubuntu [04:38] there is no more alsaconf in ubuntu ? ..... i 'm on karmic, what does replace it ? [04:39] maliks heh, the last linux book I bought was regarding redhat 3.x ... a general book on linux should do the job though [04:39] hi [04:39] wolfgangcs, i know how to set it up at install time, but not otherwise [04:39] ok. thanks PapiChi. 2nd question. I am already LPIC-1 certified. any point doing UCP now? [04:40] just installed a PCI SATA card and ubuntu did not install the drivers for it. How can I do this manualy? [04:40] zagabar: Yes... They have to be in a different subnet. [04:40] maliks I dunno. My only certs are my university degrees :) [04:40] buttons840: what if I did not use a partiton but just directed it to a folder on the 2nd hdd [04:40] i am happy :) [04:41] AlsaMixer seems to have my headphone jack muted and wont let my change the volume, does anyone know how to fix this? [04:41] minimec: Yay, it works! I have cinnected wirelessly now. =) Thanks. Are you sure btw that it won't work if I connect more computers wirelessly? [04:41] i am a certification freak :) thanks for your answer anyways [04:42] wolfgangcs, i know you can set specific partitions to be mounted at boot, so you could set the 2nd drive to be mounted as /home and then the other (original?) drive to be root / [04:42] Tek-5-8-6, every PCI SATA card I've seen is supported out of the box. What kind of card is it? [04:42] i don't know how to do this after the install, although i'm sure it's possible [04:42] Let me check mate [04:42] zagabar: Nice ;) You need a linux compatible device that can be switched in to master mode, as we stated above ... [04:42] maliks well, in that case, go for it! [04:42] It has a green box with 2 zeros but no volume bar [04:42] wolfgangcs, is there any reason not to do a fresh install? === goose is now known as CodeGoose [04:43] minimec: Alrgiht. But hey, I only have one computer capable of connecting wirelessly anyway! Thanks a lot for the help. =) [04:43] :) i sure will.. i guess my lpic-1 knowledge and a thorough review of UCP exam objectives would suffice. i gave the assessment exam online and got all correct. [04:43] buttons840:I don't see why not...let me switch machines on IRC so I can get this started...sound good? and thanks!

Maybe ad-hoc mode will be lost after next boot. Yoe may have to configure the ad-hoc mode with the network-manager GUI. [04:44] wolfgangcs, that thread shows someone sucessfully adding a second partition as /home after install [04:44] Papichi thanks for entertaining my questions. later [04:45] In AlsaMixer there is no volume bar for my headphone jack? [04:45] maliks ciao [04:45] minimec: I see. I cannot. I have command line only. [04:45] I have 3 drives connected ot it and these do not show up at all [04:46] Tek-5-8-6, odd... nothing about them in dmesg? [04:46] how can I install the LaTeX fullpage package on ubuntu? [04:46] Can anyone help me get network manager working? I removed the top panel that had the icon, and I cannot add the icon to any other panel because it does not show up in the list. Additionally I cannot launch it using the command nm-applet because I get these errors: http://paste.ubuntu.com/357870/ [04:47] Im a bit new mate, this is a terminal command yes? [04:47] I will check [04:47] buttons840:what would you recommendation for a install and home partitioning off a 40gb hdd? [04:47] zagabar: How did you configure the different cards? With iwconfig and ifconfig? If you did it like that, then the old debian way (configure /etc/network/interfaces) could be a solution for you, to make changes permanent. [04:47] i just noticed something very strange... [04:48] wolfgangcs, i dunno, 20/20? [04:48] wolfgangcs, you asking about sizes? [04:48] Matir: What should I be looking for ? [04:48] Tek-5-8-6, run the following commands and drop their output in http://pastebin.com/ if you don't mind: 'dmesg' 'sudo fdisk -l' [04:48] minimec: Yeah, with those. Are all those commands reverted after a reboot? [04:48] i got onto my computer and i noticed my cpu usage is 40%... and i noticed tcpdump is running the cpu at that percentage, but it's being run as root.. i never even started tcpdump .. what is going on? [04:49] ok [04:49] buttons840:yeah I may just slap a bigger one in...but i don't want to lose what is on the second hdd yet [04:49] there is lots of stuff. Quite long. Will pate it to you [04:49] ryanCH, install any new software? [04:49] zagabar: Yes they are, but if you configure /etc/network/interfaces, the changes would be permanent. [04:49] Matir, no not recently.. [04:50] buttons840:trying to decide to do a 20/20....but what I have in my dropbox is bigger than 20GB [04:50] wolfgangcs, what happend to having 2 drives? [04:50] minimec: Okay, I'll try to do that then, thanks.^^ [04:50] zagabar: again... no problem ;) [04:50] what does it mean if ubuntu won't install. just stays at the kernel compiler awaiting input? [04:50] buttons840:I have drivers and media on the second hdd and not ready to format yet [04:51] buttons840:and the linux transfer rates are so much slower than windoze...at least from what I can tell [04:51] ryanCH, I'd be curious to see the output of ps -ef, to see what may have started tcpdump [04:51] wolfgangcs, must be a config problem, there is no reason linux should be slower [04:52] Matir, i just terminated it a few seconds ago (tcpdump) [04:52] ryanCH, ah [04:53] Matir, what do you think it could be? [04:53] Hello everyone! [04:54] ryanCH, hard to say. Are there any programs you ever use that might have started it? Any network/packet analyzers, etc? [04:54] I have a question reguarding putting ubuntu on my ps3, but no one seems to be on the #ubuntu-ps3 channel [04:55] Anyone here tried putting ubuntu on their ps3 before? [04:55] Matir, i do use tcpdump every now and then.. but i never leave it running nor do i run it as root ;p [04:55] how can i share my Music folder in ubuntu 9.10? [04:56] hey... my main goal is to get paid. i am plannign on getting certified in redhat, but my heart says mcse. does it make sense to assume that most companies using linux is because they can't afford microsoft, and since they cant afford microsoft, its also safe to assume that they wont pay as much as companies who use microsoft? so by this logic, from a money perspective, i should go for msce instead of redhat [04:56] Matir, could this be some sort of automated task? can i find out if it is? [04:56] ComputerNoobie: the logic is flawed [04:56] people use MS cause they are used to it [04:56] lots of big companies use linux, cause its what they want to use [04:56] People are used by MS [04:56] ComputerNoobie: nah, many companies use linux because of the stability and are willing to pay a premium for sysadmins who know it [04:56] hell MS claims linux ois more expensive :) [04:56] ComputerNoobie: Google uses Linux [04:57] ryanCH, tcpdump is most often used as root... you could look and see if there's anything in /etc/cron.* for cronjobs [04:57] ComputerNoobie: mcse's are a dime a dozen. people who know linux well enough that in a pinch they can be useful on aix or solaris, though? *useful*! [04:57] ryanCH, what is the parent process of your tcpdump. [04:57] maco: that too. linux skills are suprisingly portable after a point ;) [04:58] (*cough* not that i've been told to do development work on aix on the basis of my linux skills or anything... *cough*) [04:58] Also allot of companies that are using Linux is because they used Unix and if you need database service MS SQL is not an answer. [04:58] If you are developing the platform should be irrelevant. You either have the skills or you don't. Sys adminning is a whole different proposition [04:59] My headphone jack doesnt work and I dont have a clue why, can anyone help? [04:59] Bubblehead: Of course it isn't. MS Access is the answer. Duh. [04:59] Bubblehead: (True story where I worked last summer) [04:59] I installed ubuntu 9.10 on my PS3 using petitboot. I am not seeing a hard drive after installing... anyone know what I am talking about? [04:59] uman -- LOL and ouch [05:01] howdy - i dont have a dvd reader and i want to install ubuntu - i have the .iso and a 5GB partition - im currently running ubuntu 8.04 - is there a way to tell grub to treat a partition like a boot cd? [05:01] Okay so my headphone jack doesnt work, neither my headphones nor speakers are reciveing a signal form it under ubuntu, under windows they work fine [05:01] hmm [05:01] How can I restart the gui without restarting the whole computer? I seem to remember from a linux class I took a long time ago that there was a way to do that. Like by hitting Ctrl + Alt + F1 and then typing a command there? [05:01] The freenode admins didn't like my platform neutral comments ;) [05:01] Jasonrj: ctrl+alt+f1 sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [05:02] or of it's karmic, sudo service gdm restart [05:02] is it safe to share ~/Music or will it potentially make it so other users can access any file in your home dir? [05:02] Jasonrj: It's changed a bit in 9.10: $sudo restart gdm [05:02] I'm trying to install server ubuntu 9.10. But it always either fail while partitioning or when installing base system (a perl deb corrupted). I burned the CD twice, second time at 1X. both verifies OK. Any idea? === sean is now known as Guest40693 [05:02] jasonrj: Otherwise use $sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [05:02] Thanks [05:02] there's that echo problem in here back again ^_^ [05:02] e_losier, is this the first linux install for this machine? [05:02] np [05:03] Yes, it's brand new. [05:03] e_losier, what processor? [05:03] ctrl+alt+backspace doesn't restart x anymore [05:03] hello. how do i find out which packages apt-get upgrade installed and when? my load average has been at least 4.00 since friday, and i don't know why. ubuntu 9.04 [05:03] ?? [05:03] pauljw, they turn that off in ubuntu [05:04] also, i suspect an update as the cause, but i don't know which one(s) [05:04] You can instlal something called dontzap to use that hotkey to restart your gdm using hotkeys [05:04] pauljw, you can ctrl-alt-f1 and login in and restart gdm [05:04] Google it, I think it won't work untill you restart your ocmputer though [05:05] sync3time : AMD PHENOM X4 9650 [05:05] e_losier, hmm, is there an AMD server version? are you installing that one? [05:08] to share my ~/Music folder should i right-click on it and choose 'share' using windows networks sharing service, or should i use smbfs? [05:09] hmm the Chinese gov't hacked my pr0n directory [05:09] lol [05:09] Added block blur all over? [05:09] horny little dudes [05:09] !ot ChappiPi [05:09] !language | ChappiPi :-P [05:09] ChappiPi :-P: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [05:10] which version of Skype should I get? [05:10] since most ppl complain about problems [05:10] Jasonrj: hahahahaha === Deathvalley122 is now known as Guest28500 [05:10] happy good point [05:10] sync3time : the iso is called "ubuntu-9.10-server-amd64.iso" ... [05:10] besides, it wasn't the Chinese. It was me. [05:11] which version of Skype should I get? [05:11] Dextronaught I may be going out on a limb here, but how about the one in the repos? [05:11] what do you mean repos? [05:12] Dextronaught I think I'll bow out of this one. Ask again [05:12] !repos [05:12] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [05:12] Dextronaught: ^^ [05:12] Oo :o [05:13] how can i get to the notification settings as shown in this screenshot?? http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/applications/notification-daemon-xfce [05:13] Dextronaught: that is why I haven't had to compile anything in the 5 years that I've used Ubuntu :) [05:14] maverick: That looks like it's specific to the xfce desktop [05:14] Dextronaught in console (terminal, whatever you want to call it) "sudo apt-get install skype" [05:15] ardchoille: well, it is [05:15] maverick: are you running xfce? [05:15] ardchoille: yes [05:15] although I'm sure the hardcore GUIers will lead you to synaptic :) [05:15] maverick: Then you need to ask in #xubuntu [05:15] ardchoille: thanks [05:15] yw [05:16] Dextronaught feel free to thank me at your leisure [05:18] Can anyone help me get my network manager working? I removed the panel that had the icon, and for some reason it does not show up as something I can add to any of the other panels. When trying the nm-applet command I get these errors: http://paste.ubuntu.com/357870/ [05:18] test [05:18] how am i in here!? god my modem is so retarded [05:18] can I burn an iso image to a DVD? === ckhikuzad_ is now known as CkhiKuzad [05:19] The notifications bubbles that popup in the upper right corner in KArmix. How can I theme those? [05:19] jasonb it's running. Kill it. "sudo killall nm-applet" [05:19] LinuX2half: yes [05:19] * jasonb blinks [05:19] Anyone know how to get the iPod Shuffle 'Model A1271' to work on Ubuntu? GTKpod doesn't seem to recognize it. [05:19] jasonb sorry pappy [05:19] Jasonrj it's running. Kill it. "sudo killall nm-applet" [05:20] this is the first time i join to this room [05:20] !hcl | astrojp check the HCL for possible tricks on that [05:20] astrojp check the HCL for possible tricks on that: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [05:20] how do I run md5sum [05:21] LinuX2half: md5sum filename [05:21] LinuX2half well, you are pretty close already ... [05:21] thanks ubottu :) [05:21] !Thanks [05:21] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [05:22] so if the image is ubuntu_karmic_1386.iso, then I'll type the name of the file along with md5sum? [05:22] doesw anyone know what changing GSSAPIKeyExchange no to GSSAPIKeyExchange yes will do. It is in ssh_config [05:22] LinuX2half: md5sum/path/ubuntu_karmic_1386.iso [05:22] dmesg | egrep -i “sound|audio|snd” <=- What does this message do, and what does it mean if the results are nothing? [05:23] LinuX2half: sorry, forgot the space: md5sum /path/ubuntu_karmic_1386.iso [05:23] ardchoille lucky. He was about to ask again ;) [05:23] I figured that :) [05:23] Then what do I type if the image is located in my download folder? [05:24] It's this silly keyboard, it prints what I type instead of what I meant [05:24] LinuX2half: That's the "/path" bit [05:24] ChappiPi: I killed it, then tried running it, I still cannot run it. Instead of getting an error it just does nothing when I type the command [05:24] i installed ubuntu in a computer with a pentium 4 (single core of course), and it shows cpu1 and cpu2 in the system monitor? [05:24] LinuX2half: md5sum ~/Downloads/ubuntu_karmic_1386.iso ? [05:24] @buttons could be a HT Pentium 4? [05:25] Jasonrj uh ok. Try "killall nm-applet; nm-applet &" [05:25] Myke1, maybe, but it's 2.6 ghz and i thought only 3ghz plus were ht? [05:25] Jasonrj then "ps aux | grep nm-applet" for giggles [05:25] @ buttons: Hyperthreaded cores show up as 2 cores, even though HT is one real core and one virtual [05:25] hmmm [05:26] can anyone help me do better than 300KB/s transfer between me and my home server? I am on the same network as the other computer but I only get 300KB/s. This is lame [05:26] jasonrj try this... might work nm-applet --sm-disable [05:26] buttons840: I had that surprice a few weeks ago. You have one of these hyperthreading versions of the pentium 4. It simulates a dualcore. I installed ubuntu for a friend a few weeks ago... ;) [05:26] dmesg | grep ata [05:26] says im using a 40-wire cable but im sure im not, how do I fix this? [05:26] NotTooSmart like before; use an 80 pin cable [05:27] Yeah Buttons, I see a 2.6Ghz HT core on the list of CPUs [05:27] ChappiPi, i switched it to an 80 wire.... [05:27] NotTooSmart ah ok. You are *sure* you are using an 80 pin ... [05:27] Myke1, heh, good to know i guess thanks for the pleasent news [05:27] ChappiPi, it looks just like the 80pin shown here... http://www.pcguide.com/ref/hdd/if/ide/confCable80-c.html [05:27] NotTooSmart are you also sure your hd is capable of whatever UDMA you are going for? [05:28] No problem, Enjoy :) [05:28] NotTooSmart checked with hdparm? [05:28] Ok, I can now kill nm-applet. But I still cannot run it. I typed everything you guys suggested but all gives the same result: nothing. Typing nm-applet into the terminal or after hitting Alt+F2 simply does nothing. In the terminal it goes down to the next line, but does not bring back the prompt, so I cannot do anything else. [05:28] NotTooSmart and finally, your controller might not be capable of handling the 80 pin and reverts to 40 [05:29] Then is it possible to burn an iso9660 image? [05:29] Jasonrj what do you get when you type "ps aux |grep nm-applet" ? [05:29] jasonb: I was under the impression that an applet was something you needed to add to the panel in order to use [05:29] Jasonrj: its a applet that goes on the gnome-panel [05:29] I thought so [05:29] Thank you Flare-Laptop [05:29] er yeah, that too :) [05:30] :) [05:30] I know, my original problem was that I deleted the panel that contained it. I then could not add it to any other panel because it did not show up in the list. Someone advised I type the command nm-applet and I was getting errors [05:30] ChappiPi, well, its a dimension 2400 the web says it can do udma 100 [05:30] hello world [05:31] ChappiPi, I get "jason 2238 0.0 0.3 3036 792 pts/0 R+ 13:30 ):00 grep - -color=au to nm-applet" [05:31] nottoosmart, basically you have an ide hard drive. [05:31] NotTooSmart hmm, ok. Have you looked at the hd itself and seen if you have to move the jumpers on it? [05:32] Voss and that's the next area of inquiry :) [05:32] ata is ide [05:32] its an SATAII hd through an adapter.. im sure it can do faster than 33mb/sec [05:32] [ 1.337154] ata1.01: ATA-8: WDC WD3200AAKS-00L9A0, 01.03E01, max UDMA/133 [05:32] NotTooSmart I'm thinking the adapter could be the problem maybe then [05:32] "silicon has just about reached it's limits as far as heat and electricity are concerned." <- from a 2005 hardware forum discussing the amazing new duel-core processors, and speculating on whether something crazy like a "quad-core" might be possible :) [05:33] 33mbs is the limit through a pci card I believe, [05:33] its not a pci card though. [05:33] it just hooks on to ide cable [05:33] NotTooSmart got any info on the adapter? [05:33] ChappiPi, hrm. one minute [05:34] ChappiPi, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812119257&nm_mc=OTC-Froogle&cm_mmc=OTC-Froogle-_-Adapters+and+gender+changers-_-Rosewill-_-12119257 [05:35] I'm having problem with k3b [05:35] Jasonrj you could always admit defeat and reinstall networkmanager ... [05:35] Can't burn the image because of an error code 254 [05:35] ChappiPi, I really did switch the cable... im not sure why its not working right.. [05:35] Can someone tell me lightweight alternitives to the following, Firefox, Evolution, Irssi, and basicly everything that should be changed in Ubuntu 9.04 [05:36] Darkedge: uhh what's not lightweight about irssi? [05:36] Is anyone familiar with this? [05:36] Darkedge: Xubuntu? Lubuntu? Don't use any metapackages. [05:36] please 1 question, is there any kind of privilege to access other users files based on the id number? for example, having a higher id than one user, or lower? thanks [05:36] LinuX2half: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2877869 [05:36] light web browser = dillo [05:36] ChappiPi: I guess... I just think it's weird that it was there and working fine, I removed the panel that contained it, and now it is forever broken? [05:37] Darkedge, just use telnet for irc if you want something ligther than irssi :) [05:37] blakkheim: uhm someone told me yesturday irssi was a big resource hog, and was firefox [05:37] lol [05:37] NotTooSmart hmm, well it should do the right speeds. I really don't know. Maybe someone else can figure it out [05:37] Darkedge: compared to other apps.. i doubt if irssi is using much resources [05:37] Darkedge: try weechat I guess. [05:37] Darkedge: irssi is a commandline irc client, it is FAR from a resource hog. your "friend" has no idea what he's talking about [05:37] Darkedge: Firefox. Sure. irssi? I'd be surprised if it is. [05:37] ChappiPi, idk, maybe it is the wire... [05:37] Darkedge: thers opera and google-chrome browser as alterantives [05:37] Darkedge: although i concede to the fact that firefox is bloated. it is. [05:37] LinuX2half: here's another one: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/i-cant-burn-data-cds-or-isos-with-k3b-error-code-254-wtf-193324/ [05:38] OK Then can someone tell me some good alternitives > Firefox then cause that does seem to hog. [05:38] Darkedge: i use a system with swiftfox (its a lighter firefox build) though there's a load of good light web browsers like arora. If you need a good light graphical irc client, go for lostirc [05:38] Darkedge: thers opera and google-chrome browser as alterantives [05:38] Darkedge: and disable flash [05:38] Jasonrj ok, well I'm flying blind here because I use wicd over networkmanager [05:39] Darkedge: epiphany-browser, opera, chrome, midori, [05:39] Darkedge: as Dr_Willis stated, opera and chrome are both quite fast here [05:39] Dr_Willis: eh, if you don't need flash, pretty much any semi modern browser would be great [05:39] For Wubi Do I Select My C: Drive? [05:39] I lost my desktop taskbars in a crash. How do I get them back? [05:39] I might try chrome, Is it in the repos? [05:39] ChappiPi, is this the right one? http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00004Z5PZ/ref=ord_cart_shr?_encoding=UTF8&m=A3TWH6Q6VO6EQF&v=glance [05:39] fwiw, opera no longer needs tons of kde libs [05:39] supposedly firefox 3.6 is much less of a memory hog [05:39] Darkedge: google has its own repos for the latest versions [05:40] Darkedge: chrome.google.com [05:41] Im kinda new to ubuntu im using a live cd and attempting to view some files fro [05:41] Theres just a few things about chrome that cause me issues.. and keep me using firefox at times [05:41] Dr_Willis: until recently lack of adblock was one for me ;p [05:41] m my dead mac [05:41] NotTooSmart that's a 40 pin isn't it? [05:41] faileas noscript is one for me [05:41] ChappiPi, can you show me the one I need? [05:42] NotTooSmart in a word? no [05:42] faileas: even with adblock - i still have a few sites that have Popups on Chrome - that DONT happen on firefox.. those pesky tiorrent sites. :) [05:42] ardchoille: Right when I delete Firefox -_- Can someone tell me how to install google chrome... [05:42] Is there anything special i need to do in order to view them in the gui? [05:42] Dr_Willis well Chrome "adblock" doesn't block - it hides [05:42] Darkedge: download the chrome package and : sudo dpkg -i filename [05:42] Dr-Digi__, I believe you can't get files from a LiveCD from your mac [05:43] jasonrj the erros indicate its still running? [05:43] Been mixxing in privoxy with chrome and gettting some better results.. but pately ive seen wjhere Privoxy is crashing on me in 9.10 [05:43] :( I need to get the link to the package, I gotta use wget now. [05:43] Until there is addons for noscript/flashblock (or I write them) Chrome is a no go [05:43] Darkedge: chrome adds a file to your sources that keeps the browser updated [05:43] Dr_Willis yeah, I was doing the privoxy way for a while [05:44] Any chance i could install on a 4 gb cf? [05:44] ardchoille: I need the link to the dpkg file, I deleted firefox. [05:44] Darkedge: I don't think you can do that, you have to agree to a license page before downloading it [05:44] Or somehow use it with the live cd for the updatez and save settinfs ect? [05:44] Dr-Digi__, 4GB Is Required For An Install Of Ubuntu 9.10 [05:44] Darkedge: https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/ppa i use this repo [05:44] -_- I can't use Firefox lol [05:45] *reinstalls firefox* [05:45] I seriously don't understand how people can browse without NoScript. Scary :) [05:45] Darkedge: was just going to advise that :) [05:45] iwolf 4gb of disk space not 4gb of memory :) [05:45] Oops [05:45] Darkedge: Also, chrome can import firefox bookmarks and settings [05:45] Thought he said disk space [05:45] Darkedge: eh, if you want to stick to firefox http://getswiftfox.com/ is a LOT faster than the ubuntu default builds [05:45] NotTooSmart if you look yourself and really can't find the right one I'll help [05:45] BRB [05:46] ChappiPi: I can since my firewall/Gateway takes care of all that BS [05:46] I have a 4 gb cf empty and i got 8 gigs of ram [05:46] :P [05:46] ChappiPi, the problem is man, im pretty sure judging by the picture I showed you earlier, that I do have the right cable connected already..... [05:46] I have installed 9.10 on netbooks with 512mb of memory and a 4gb flash drive [05:46] syn-ack your firewall/gateway isn't going to take care of javascript [05:46] The only thing I don't like about chrome is that google's theme department must be color blind [05:46] OK I'll do that, can you guys umm tell me how to get the most cutting-edge intel driver? [05:46] I saw the files on the mac hd for a split second and it all disapperwd [05:46] NotTooSmart but that one even said "40 pin" [05:47] Anyone know how to get the status of a RAID 5 array? [05:47] ChappiPi: Sure it does. it blocks javaScript quite well [05:47] ChappiPi, if you can just show me a picture of the right one ill be set ;-d [05:47] Has anyone here installed ubuntu on a ps3? [05:47] it didn't mount when the machine came back up... [05:47] and it says the resource is busy [05:47] This is a quad core gateway i got for free [05:47] ideally you would prefer at least 8gb of ssd or hard drive space [05:47] Dr-Digi__, Wow [05:47] iflema: I guess it was already running, it killed it with the killall command. I don't know how to add it to the panel though because it was not in the list of items I could add anymore. Someone suggested reinstalling, so I'm trying to figure out how to do that now. This is where I usually give up and forget Linux for a year or two :\ [05:47] Dr-Digi__, I'm using a Gateway [05:47] Is it worth it for me to try to up my ext3 fs to ext4? [05:48] Dr-Digi__, Anyways, you have more than enough RAM/disk space to install Ubuntu [05:48] jasonrj hit this a few times in a row quick using ya bash history ' nm-applet --sm-disable ' itll knock it out and restart,,,,, slapit around. without sudo [05:48] syn-ack no, I mean the point is not a blanket ban of javascript, it is to selectively run it on certain sites (whitelist) and only the scripts you choose [05:48] does anyone have any experience with LIRC? i want to try and identify the hex code to accompany an unsupported button on my fully working remote control [05:48] For Wubi Do I Select My C: Drive? [05:48] Iwolf then why doesnt it ever seem to finish? [05:48] ChappiPi, http://www.xpcgear.com/idecable18.html [05:48] syn-ack if you are going to block it all you might as well disable it in your browser [05:49] iflema: I tried that and it kept doing nothing. I have already uninstalled it.. Now I'm trying to figure out how to install this thing again. [05:49] ChappiPi: well, Then the lil checkbox in my firewall must be a lie [05:49] I bought a refurb EEEpc 901 for $129 and put 9.04 ubuntu on it but ill probably wind up putting chrome on it this year [05:49] syn-ack: what firewall? [05:50] I lost my desktop taskbars in a crash. How do I get them back? [05:50] ardchoille: DD-WRT... more or less iptables when it comes down to it [05:50] okay now I receive the message that it can't open a new session [05:50] How can I resolve that kind of problem? [05:50] Any chance i could get someone to remote desktop in? [05:50] lxaaaa: By taskbar do you mean panel? [05:50] syn-ack I'm not arguing the point that you can stop all javascript. I'm saying you don't want to do that. You want to be able to whitelist certain scripts [05:50] I like pfsense myself [05:50] Anyone here is familiar with k3b? [05:50] keepsake: yes [05:50] syn-ack: I don't even bother with a firewall, not needed for my system [05:50] I like ipf ... any other takers? [05:50] what is iee3 1394 in kino , how to capture in ubuntu? [05:50] I've just stumbling on the errors now [05:51] anyone here install on ps3? [05:51] lxaaaa: http://www.watchingthenet.com/restore-panels-in-ubuntu-back-to-their-default-settings.html [05:51] first of all, I gave the program sudo power to operate at the interior level [05:51] keepsake: thanks [05:51] But it said that the mftios crashed [05:51] lxaaaa: That'll reset your panels, you'll have to re-customize them. [05:51] Unbelievable [05:51] ChappiPi: You're gonna have to forgive me. I took my meds so I'm REALLY fscking loopy right now. wasnt trying to argue just now "clicked" [05:51] ard, most of us just use hardware firewalls anyway [05:52] syn-ack it's all good. :) [05:52] what is iee3 1394 in kino , how to capture in ubuntu? [05:52] I'm trying to burn a disc image and the program is producing these errors that suppose to tell me whats going on but actually only bewilders me more [05:52] can i record vid in ubuntu ? [05:52] Voss: All firewalls are software. :P regardless if they are an appliance or not. :P [05:52] Voss: and THAT one was to bust the boys if you know what I mean. :D [05:52] can anyone tell me what appears to be happening in this error message? I'm stumped http://paste.ubuntu.com/357892/ [05:52] Is anyone familiar with k3b program? [05:52] namzezam: Via Cheese I Think [05:52] syn-ack: Unless you have a real flaming wall =O [05:53] keepsake: HOW DID YOU KNOW?!?! :P [05:53] I'm suppose I don't have to go to the kde channel to resolve such issue now would I? [05:53] LinuX2half: what about it? [05:53] syn-ack, lets put it this way, a firewall not in the computer [05:53] well, I suppose I could... [05:53] Voss: I was kidding. :P [05:53] playstation 3... anyone install ubuntu on it? [05:53] LinuX2half: #kubuntu might know of an answer [05:53] does my 1000H EEPC running openbox with ipf, and acting as a gateway count as a "hardware firewall"? :) [05:53] What was the amaroK question [05:53] !ps3 [05:53] Aside from i386 and amd64 platforms, Ubuntu is also available for alternate platforms. Playstation 3 ( support in #ubuntu-ps3 ) Apple PowerPC ( support in #ubuntu-ppc ) [05:54] NotTooSmart sorry, I'll look now [05:54] okay see ya [05:54] Getting hit with bots... great [05:54] Ugh holy hell, I was trying to hell him! [05:54] chappi, no it counts as a popcorn popper [05:54] crickets in the other channels [05:54] Voss bzzt [05:55] Hey, after formatting my drives, i reinstalled Ubuntu 9.10 and it will not boot, i get "GRUB loading.|error: no such disk|grub rescue> _".... i reformatted because grub was failing to boot (seemingly randomly) to my 9.10 partition... help? [05:55] i ave accer aspire one, i did cheese but i did not get the audio but noise and also gut it with strange colors, please let me know what should i install , i do have vlc and have problem with the audio to , only on pulse it works but then with noise again, and that kino thing, well this never let me actully rerding [05:55] I'll let you in on a secret about hardware firewalls. They run software. [05:55] Voss your first name doesnt happen to be Rich, does it? [05:55] shocking, but true [05:55] hi [05:55] no syn [05:55] or ever firmware [05:56] it must be simple, where in one functuning manual for ubuntu 9.10 for recording vid on acer aspire one? [05:56] Voss: bah. :p [05:56] namzezam: ive noticed on my AAO webcam odd colors if im under some specific kinds of lights. at work under mercery lights its got a greenish tint. but in the office under floresant - it looks normal.. [05:56] why does it say that i havent registrered my nickname when i have? [05:56] namzezam: other then that - iove no issues ion my AAO with the UNR edition,. [05:56] monchevique: did you identify when you connected? [05:57] Dr_Willis: which is normal when you think about it [05:57] yes [05:57] NotTooSmart yeah, that one looks right [05:57] ChappiPi, alright thanks tty. [05:57] Hey, after formatting my drives, i reinstalled Ubuntu 9.10 and it will not boot, i get "GRUB loading.|error: no such disk|grub rescue> _".... i reformatted because grub was failing to boot (seemingly randomly) to my 9.10 partition... help? [05:58] syn-ack: Yep. Just made me think my AAO was broken once when i tried it at work. :) its got a REAL weird color differance in the differance lights.. but they are Industural High power Merc. lamps. (or argon, or whatever they are) [05:58] Dr_Willis: heheh [05:58] syn-ack: gotta love lamps with a 2 ft long light bulb. :) [05:58] hah [05:59] Dr_Willis hmm, I think they have you working under hydroponic grow lamps [05:59] i have prob with the audion, pulse and vlc do not like each other i try hw:0,0 and then have no sound, i think i should kill something and un instll it or so, where cn i find nice tutirial for it? [05:59] flexible: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1359802 === jontn is now known as JonTn [06:00] I use crunchbang (ubuntu derived) on my netbook, for what it's worth [06:00] it's both crunchy, yet bangy === ChappiPi is now known as PappiChi [06:01] chappi, I use mint 8 on my notebook its also ubuntu derived [06:01] Voss working nicely on it? [06:02] * Dr_Willis uses Ubuntu.. its ubuntu derived.... [06:02] Yep [06:02] and Full of Vitiman U [06:02] Mint 8 is based on ubuntu 9.10 [06:02] Voss: is Mint good? [06:02] * Dr_Willis thinks Mint is behind in its version #'s [06:02] Voss yeah. I might give it whirl actually [06:03] flexible: Better try it for yourself [06:03] flexible, yes it is. A bit more stable than ubuntu main. I also like the fact they put the task bar on the bottom not the top [06:04] and its green [06:04] keepsake: i'm burning it as we speak... i downloaded it the other day, was just wanting an opinion [06:04] Dr_Willis well, Ubuntu is debian derived ... but don't get angry [06:04] simply I prefer openbox and debian-like architecture. After that , it's all good [06:05] PappiChi: and i seem to recall Mandrake being redhat derrived - like 7+ yrs ago...... [06:05] Dr_Willis stop! I feel faint [06:05] * Dr_Willis goes back to Minix :P [06:05] mandrake thats a blast from the past [06:05] Dr_Willis wow, you might be as old as me ;) [06:05] My laptop is overheating. I have tried reapplying thermal paste. All fans are working, the room temp is cool, etc. What should I do? [06:06] Dont make me get out my CP/M disks! [06:06] * PappiChi resists the urge to make wise guy answer to Wzrd [06:06] wzrd, a laptop cooler to stick underneath it [06:06] Hi, nix noob here, where do I set options like noapic? [06:06] Could slowness over my LAN be due to the type of wireless security I use? Is WEP somehow faster than WPA/WPA2? [06:06] PappiChi: Honestly, with the way Ubuntu is going I feel that very soon, it's going to be diverged for Debian more than other distros [06:06] Thanks Voss, that's a good idea. [06:06] I know how to set boot options on the installer CD, but how do I set them for the actual installation? [06:07] wzrd, you can get one thats powered by usb [06:07] duckwars: it doesn't really matter in matters of speed but WEP is insecure unlike WPA2 [06:07] syn-ack I'm not a good person for OS advocacy. I use, and have developed, for all the main ones. Each has its good and bad points [06:07] Great, I'll check on newegg [06:08] I default to debian-based linux distros though [06:08] syn-ack: Thank you. Also, would you have any idea as to why I get such slow transfers using SSH over my wireless netowork? [06:09] PappiChi: As have I and do and I just keeping up on Ubuntu's plans and such it highly doubt it's going to be as close to debian as Red Hat is other than the fact that it uses .deb [06:09] duckwars: because of overhead [06:09] I even worked for 18 months doing ASP.NET / C# developing! Let the flaming begin! ;) [06:09] syn-ack yeah, I hear what you are saying [06:09] Theres nothing wrong with .NET, imo [06:10] syn-ack: What overhead are you refering to? [06:10] syn-ack same, but don't let the fanbois hear that [06:10] pappi, I once used redhat, then SUSE for a while then ubuntu, now I used mint on my laptop and ubuntu on my desktop [06:10] duckwars: encryption overhead [06:11] duckwars: Think about it, SSH is encrypted as is your connection, it's gonna slow down some [06:11] syn-ack: You mean the encryption from ssh? But it barely does 300KB/s. I don't think anyone else using SSH on LAN would get such slow connection speeds [06:11] * imam slaps kancerman around a bit with a large trout [06:11] Voss right. I went straight from redhat 3.x to debian to ubuntu. A little VMS/VAX in the ancient days. Never tried SUSE or Mandrake et al. [06:12] haha I had a job while at university doing AIX adminning though. Man ... [06:12] duckwars: The odds of me nailing down exactly what's going on right now is slim unless I had physical access to the machine [06:12] AIX is the Greatness [06:12] I loved using it. :D [06:12] pappi, suse was the first linux distro I was able to get to "work" [06:13] syn-ack: Any ideas where to start? I have an apple airport extreme. I've been googling and searching ubuntu forums all day === imam is now known as si_PeMbAnGkAnG [06:13] in the day the RS6000s were the poopenheimer [06:13] heh [06:13] Hmm. how can you tell how fast a transfer is with scp anyway? [06:13] I went to linux on my laptop before I switched to linux on my desktop [06:13] when I use scp it gives me the rate [06:13] Dr_Willis: by using the -v flag, IIRC [06:13] i don't use any flag at all and it tells me [06:13] Voss heh, yeah. You were brave [06:13] lets see..... [06:14] duckwars: There are too many vars for me to say. [06:14] copying a 800mb file via scp to the server. [06:14] dident give me no rate. [06:14] ack... I'm gonna make an official post I guess. This has been a nuisance for far too long. [06:14] pappi, actually it was easier on my laptop less stuff to screw up. Getting wireless to work was a pain! [06:14] thaanks for the help [06:14] scp is notoriously slow [06:14] Dr_Willis: I'm using the standard ssh program that came with ubuntu 9.04 [06:15] oh wait [06:15] i'm using the ssh on my mac [06:15] doh.. i copied it to a file named 'willis@server' locally... :) [06:15] Voss yeah, I'm an old man in my 30's, so I'll spare you the pains I had over the years. Suffice it to say, it's a lot easier now ! :) [06:15] But yeah, scp is slooooow, check out rsync or something over ssh instead [06:15] duckwars: who makes your wireless chipset? what driver is it using (if it's using ndiswrapper, expect suckage). is your wireless b, g or ... ? [06:15] there we go.. 12.1 MB/s [06:15] pappi, im no spring chicken myself [06:16] mneptok: wireless chipset? The client is a macbook pro 2.0ghz the server is a fitpc2 with ubuntu 9.04 [06:16] * mneptok laughs. "old man in my 30s" [06:16] Voss rock on, old man [06:16] mneptok ;) [06:16] Hmm.. seemes to have averaged out at about 10.8 MB/s for this scp test. [06:16] mneptok I'm working off the assumption many people here are in their late teens / early 20s [06:16] Dr_Willis: I envy you greatly [06:16] 1:05 to copy 701mb [06:17] PappiChi: i'm not, whippersnapper. :P [06:17] duckwars: I may be on a GB network connection. im not sure what i have btween these 2 box's. [06:17] Dr_Willis: is that wired or wireless? [06:17] wired [06:17] Hi, noob question here, how do I change the disk I'm working with in terminal? For example, I want to access /dev/sda1/, how do I move to that dir? [06:17] mneptok yeah, but I *knew* you were old ;) [06:17] *that drive [06:17] o i c [06:17] duckwars: is the Ubuntu machine using wireless? [06:17] mneptok: yes it is [06:17] chrisd2: you cd to the MOUNTPOINT for the mounted filesystem [06:17] !shell | chrisd2 [06:17] chrisd2: 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 [06:18] duckwars: and who makes the wireless chipset in the Ubuntu machine? [06:18] duckwars: lspci -vvv [06:18] chrisd2: if sda1 is mounted at /media/videos the you 'cd /media/videos' [06:18] Dr_Willis, how do I know the mountpoint? [06:18] chrisd2: try the mount command.. time to learn some shell basics I think, [06:18] So I'm setting it, not finding it? [06:18] Seems like I am going to have to create screencasts from Windows while running Ubuntu in Virtual Box as creating screencasts in Ubuntu is such a waste of time ... the output format of Gtk-RMD is .ogv which when finally finding a way to convert it to AVI or MPEG4 turns into horrible quality and is out of sync with the Audio track ... sucks! Ironic that Windows has to be used to make a decent screencast of Ubuntu ... :( [06:18] it's a pity there are no statistics kept on the oldest person to ever join #ubuntu [06:19] !ot | PappiChi [06:19] PappiChi, please see my private message [06:19] chrisd2: what? [06:19] chrisd2: if its not mounted.. then you have to mount it. [06:19] Dr_Willis, wait, is it the one that is X on /media/xxxx [06:19] Is there a simple way to generate a list of the programs installed in the terminal? Could one use this to easily install a large list of appilications from the terminal? [06:19] zetheroo1: see what guy that does the 'meet the gimp' webcasts uses.. [06:19] Is there a macro program for linux? [06:20] chrisd2: they could be mounted to any named directory /media/whatever [06:20] Dr_Willis: is that a site? [06:20] hi people. im an ubuntu novice...is there a way i can use ubuntu to put music on my LG Env phone? in theory i think it should work but i plug it in and im finding it impossible to mount..i can sync my ipod fine..but not my phone [06:20] zetheroo1: yes. he does gimp video toto0rials.. [06:20] Dr_Willis, okay, i will see how that works. thanks :) [06:20] kevinp: research the "get selections" and "set selections" options of dpkg [06:20] question about cairo-dock, how can I edit the reserved space for the dock? [06:20] mneptok: It looks like RaLink Device 3000 [06:20] zetheroo1: hes got over 100+ video casts/lessions hes done. :) [06:21] mneptok: that is if Network Controller is the wireless chip [06:21] I have a macro program that allows me to execute keystrokes, mouseclicks,etc. Is there such a way under Linux? [06:21] duckwars: Ralink drivers are known to have issues. IIRC, proximity to the access point is one of the primary problems. [06:21] Dr_Willis: looks like he has them up for download and not streaming ... [06:22] I usually use my mac to make my tutorials with my snow mic [06:22] duckwars: lspci -vvv | grep ireless [06:22] zetheroo1: of course the audio sync is not quite as critical when You justg see him movind the mouse around in gimp. No idea on streaming vs downloading. I dont see how that would matter much [06:22] mneptok: just gave me another command prompt [06:22] Dr_Willis: the other part of my issues is that once I upload anything made by Avidemux to YouTube it just looks horrible ... fuzzy and useless [06:22] duckwars: lspci -vvv | grep etwork [06:22] Let's say i wanted to reinstall my whole system, is there a way to generate a list of the programs I have installed, so that I run the list in the terminal? [06:22] kevinp: research the "get selections" and "set selections" options of dpkg [06:23] zetheroo1: theres winff and handbrake also.. but they are all front ends to ffmpeg and mencoder i imagine. [06:23] mneptok: 03:00.0 Network controller: RaLink Device 3090 [06:23] duckwars: does the machine have a wired network connector? [06:23] mneptok: it does [06:23] kevinp: In terminal, you can type "sudo apt-get install progname1 progname2 progname3" [06:24] I want handbrake to use a cluster system [06:24] duckwars: then that wired connector may well be the Ralink [06:24] Dr_Willis: yeah I have been using winff and tried handbrake as well ... winff seems to love and hate the encoders at random ... and handbrake only outputs into two formats ... neither of which are good quality ... [06:24] mneptok: Oh, I see. [06:24] To rip videos fastsr [06:24] hey guys, anyone have sucess with installing madwifi in 8.04 TLS hardy ? [06:24] yes [06:24] duckwars: the Ralink is the *only* thing in the output of "lspci -vvv" that looks like networking? [06:25] Dr_Willis: I have been trying to get some decent outcome for 2 days now .. that is why I said maybe just using a Windows app which outputs directly to AVI and does not suffer from audio sync issues is going to be easiest .. [06:25] i get an error... [06:25] cd: 1: can't cd to /lib/modules/2.6.24-26-server/build [06:25] Makefile.inc:66: *** /lib/modules/2.6.24-26-server/build is missing, please set KERNELPATH [06:25] is there any repositories for madwifi for ubuntu? [06:25] mneptok: well there are 2 things, Ethernet controller, which I assumed was the wired connection, and Network Controller, which I assumed was wireless [06:25] duckwars: that sounds like a sage assumption [06:26] duckwars: *safe [06:26] sage works [06:26] mneptok: hahahah, I thought you wre totally mocking me [06:26] I need help making a desktop shortcut to a terminal command... can someone help? [06:26] duckwars: try moving the access point closer. if it makes a noticable difference, not only do you have a stop-gap solution, but you can reasonably blame the Ralink driver. [06:27] mneptok: I'll give it a try [06:27] duckwars: and you'll know when i'm mocking you. i'm as subtle as a flying hammer. [06:27] mneptok: =) [06:27] I need help making a desktop launcher to a terminal command... can someone help? [06:28] hi guys. I am having some issues with guessing mime-types [06:28] why don't i have an aclocal.m4? i swear i used to have one somewhere in /usr/{share,lib}/automake*/ [06:28] I am trying file -b --mime 2D.flv and instead of returning video/x-flv it returns me application/octet-stream [06:29] hi [06:29] I need help making a desktop launcher to a terminal command... can someone help? [06:29] Knowguy: what's the problem? [06:30] Dr_Willis: btw, this is what he uses ... and its not free http://demorecorder.com/ .... I guess you really do have to pay for most things in order for them to be any good ... [06:31] I am running a game server and the only way to start the service is to type command line and I just want to make a shortcut on the desktop... [06:31] weird also is if I don't specify any parameters "file 2D.flv" it would return me "Macromedia Flash Video" [06:32] i've to set my screen resolution to 1024*768...but i've got only 800*600 and 640*480 resolutions...i'm using ubuntu 9.10...i didn had prob in the earlier versions of ubuntu....pls help me... [06:32] and the weirdest of all is if I try to guess the mime type from any of the PHP functions it would give me text/plain [06:32] can anyone help? [06:33] ubuntu has been out this long and it still can't handle atheros wifi [06:33] mneptok: I moved it right next to the router, still the same speed [06:34] mneptok: MAYBE slightly faster [06:34] OK, just set up samba, and am getting "Nautilus could not handle Network locations" Do I just need a reboot? [06:34] I need help making a desktop launcher to a terminal command... can someone help? [06:35] duckwars: FWIW, i get 2.1Mb/s over 802.11g and an Intel wireless card. so it's not Ubuntu in general. [06:35] Knowguy: You mean you need to learn what command the launcher is lauinching? [06:35] Knowguy: what desktop are you using... gnome, kde, etc? [06:35] duckwars: this being over ssh, as well. [06:35] mneptok: For you are both client and server wireless? [06:36] gnome [06:36] duckwars: server is wired. [06:36] duckwars: (as servers should be) ;) [06:36] Knowguy: have a look here: http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ [06:37] mneptok: I'm thinking of just wiring the server, but as I have it right now my server is headless, and I made it so that it logs into an account and gets on the wireless network. If I wire it now, I'm wondering if it will use the wireless or the wired connection. [06:37] to share my ~/Music folder should i right-click on it and choose 'share' using windows networks sharing service, or should i use smbfs? [06:37] mneptok: or if you happen to know a way to make it not autoboot into an account through the command line [06:37] I have to go to open with in order to view any pictures or play music, what should I do? [06:37] I have read through similar material... still can't get it to work... [06:38] infid set it up in your samba conf as a share [06:38] you can share home folders somehow [06:38] duckwars: Ubuntu should always prefer a wired connection. and you can turn off autologin via System > Admin > Login screen [06:38] All the files show up as unknown files and I have to go to open with and choose an application in order to view them [06:39] mneptok: I have no way of accessing the gui [06:39] duckwars: sure you do. you have ssh. :) [06:39] max1234: Choose the properties for a filetype and set a default application [06:39] mneptok: I was never able to figure out how to use X or whatever it is to connect, never even got that to work [06:39] duckwars: ssh -X user@server [06:39] no way.. is it that easy? [06:40] How much RAM should I have to run GNOME? [06:40] lol [06:40] duckwars: and once logged in, type "gdmsetup" [06:40] Jkessler: yeah [06:40] duckwars: (no quotes) [06:40] is it -x or -X i forget which one does X forwazrding and whioch one disables it... [06:40] at least you can the ubuntu as well [06:40] ssh -X [06:40] Dr_Willis: -X for X-forwarding [06:40] Dr_Willis: capital X for X11 forwarding [06:40] Stupendoussteve, I don't have that option when I go to properties, I have a general tab and permissions tab [06:40] Darkedge: what's your specs? [06:41] mneptok: What is that communication called that gives you a gui through SSH? because in my OS X terminal when I type ssh -X user@server it opens a program called X11 which brings up no gui [06:41] and that spawns what..? [06:41] faileas: 1GB RAM with an Intel 82845G Video card [06:41] i still get a bash prompt [06:41] Darkedge: you shouldn't have a problem [06:41] Darkedge: that's enough [06:41] Jkessler: start a programme with it [06:41] phew :) [06:41] as long as it isn't firefox [06:41] faileas: haha it is [06:41] duckwars: If you were to run xgalaga on a box with xgalaga installed, it would open in X11 [06:41] duckwars: it should still log you in in Terminal.app [06:41] im installing chrome right now [06:41] crap [06:42] i just started firefox [06:42] Darkedge: anything with more than 256 mb is enough ;p [06:42] before i saw you say that [06:42] i was gonna check whatismyip.com [06:42] Jkessler: firefox opens a local session ;p [06:42] oh [06:42] mneptok: in the terminal app it just gives me a comand line again, and X11 just does nothing but open up [06:42] duckwars: a command prompt locally, or on the Ubuntu machine? [06:43] mneptok: on the machine [06:43] i'm gonna try xchat [06:43] Jkessler: if you want to use firefox you'd want -no-remote [06:43] but i've gotta install it [06:43] even using the command prompt in X11 does nothing but log me in through a command prompt [06:43] duckwars: uhhh ... *what* machine? [06:43] duckwars: You have to run a program [06:44] mneptok: I run ssh -X user@server and I get a command prompt for the machine that is the server [06:44] stupendoussteve: do you happen to know what program in OS X? [06:44] duckwars: type "gdmsetup" (no quotes) [06:44] damn! that's pretty cool. i've just been doing everything by command line [06:44] because i didn't want to set up vnc [06:44] duckwars: You have to run a program on the remote box, it will open in X11 on the local machine [06:44] ohhhhh [06:44] If you don't run a program there's nothing to display graphically. [06:44] I typed gdmsetup and it said I have to be root, but some gui stuff did pop up [06:45] is there no way to just get the desktop enviroment? [06:45] and when i try to open PCmanFM it says GTK+ theme is not properly set and says it usually means you don't have an Xsettings manager running, what should I install to fix this? [06:45] duckwars: install vnc [06:45] This is gonna be a long night..... [06:45] llutz: I have vnc installed and running, but when it runs on the server without a screen it has awful resolution [06:46] Daughain: and i think we're gonna need a bigger boat ... [06:46] duckwars: the 'best' way is to use a protocol called nx IMO [06:46] I usualy need a bigger boat, mneptok. The hipwaders just dont cut it anymore. =) [06:46] faileas: what is this protocol? [06:46] and we gonna need more wax [06:47] duckwars: its an accelerated x forwarding thing, its faster than the normal x11 forwarding [06:47] WHat causes the error "Nautilus cannot handle 'network' locations"? [06:47] mneptok: WHat ya need help with? [06:47] faileas: have they cleaned the code and fixed some security issues with nx now? iirc they had some problems in the past, which made nx ... not recommended [06:48] I figured out X now at least, thanks for that mneptok, and I'm gonna try wiring the server, see if I get anywhere doing that [06:49] Daughain: You are using the full gnome desktop? or somt other window manager? [06:49] STraight gnome. [06:49] Dr_Willis: I removed kde already. [06:49] llutz: i last used it a few years ago, it rocked tho ;p [06:49] Daughain: try making a new user - see if they have the same issue. Its possible removeing kde goofed up something. [06:50] Daughain: ive seen where having kde and gnome both can confuse some 'special' locations/assoications [06:50] Dr_Willis: I removed kde when I removed samba for a reinstall. =) [06:50] Dr_Willis: It was all kinda a package deal for some reason. [06:51] Dr_Willis: This is a fresh install of samba, just reset locations, and cannot load netowkr in nautilus at all. [06:52] Also, I dontknow how to make a new user... =) [06:52] Daughain: havintg samba installed or not - i think has very little to do with gnome/nautilus [06:52] is there a way to change the color of the text in a panel? [06:52] faileas: this is cool, i ran nautilus from the remote machine. too bad you can't use it to copy to your local machine using scp in the background [06:52] Daughain: perhaps try 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop' and try a new user. [06:52] Ok, so, do a check for anything else kde left, and remove it? [06:52] I need some assistance with madwifi & ubuntu hardy i got it all in this nifty pastebin [06:52] http://pastebin.ca/1754408 [06:52] Daughain, system>admin>users and groups [06:52] any suggestions would be appreciated [06:53] whats a good program I can install to backup my packages if I happen to mess something up? [06:53] CHeck for kde stuff.....Ok. [06:53] !clone | max1234 [06:53] max1234: 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 [06:53] Daughain: no.. not for kde stuff.. :) if you had kde installed and removed it.. IF kde took over some assoication.. its possible removing kde did NOT restore the gnome assoication [06:54] Dr_Willis: Would it be better to reinstall kde, then? [06:55] Daughain: perhaps try 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop' and try a new user. [06:55] why is it that whenever I convert an AVI to FLV that the quality of the video goes horrible? [06:55] Daughain: are you having trouble seting a default app for a file type? [06:55] hi there any help (flashplugin-nonfree: Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting a removal.) please [06:56] ardchoille: Im getting the error "Nautilus cannot handle 'network' locations." [06:56] http://pastebin.ca/1754408 [06:56] Daughain: Ah, ok [06:56] this is the command being used: -vcodec flv -f flv -r 29.97 -s 320x240 -aspect 4:3 -b 300kb -g 160 -cmp dct -subcmp dct -mbd 2 -flags +aic+cbp+mv0+mv4 -trellis 1 -ac 1 -ar 22050 -ab 56kb [06:56] i need help getting madwifi working wth ubuntu [06:56] http://pastebin.ca/1754408 === zyn0x is now known as zynox === navid is now known as nahy [06:57] zetheroo1: using mencoder of ffmpeg? check their homepage/faq/forums for convertion tips perhaps? [06:58] Dr_Willis: Winff ... so ffmpeg [06:58] i have pidgin and need to know how to configure it's OTR feature [06:58] Daughain: did you try reinstalling ubuntu-desktop yet? then make and try a new user. see if they have the same issue [06:59] Dr_Willis: No....Why am I reinstalling ubuntu desktop to create a new user? [06:59] what is the command to see all the computers on my network? [07:01] Daughain: because when you removed KDE it also removed some setting that gnome was using.. and its possible its just a user setting (thus the new user test) [07:01] hi there any help (flashplugin-nonfree: Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting a removal.) please [07:01] Daughain: so reinstalling Ubuntu-desktpp SHOULD get the desktpp back to a normal state. and the new user should have new proper default settings [07:02] Added a new user.....Lemme log over. [07:02] Daughain: you could try just a new user first [07:04] i need some help with madwifi.... [07:04] anyone out there? [07:04] AR5416 chipset [07:04] http://pastebin.ca/1754408 [07:04] what package allows a system to be a ssl server? i thought it was openssl-server, but can't find that package in the repos?

[07:07] Could anyone remote desktop in and take a peak? [07:07] Jkessler: of course, whatever X shows goes through ssh [07:07] brainbox: is there a reason you didn't just install from jockey? [07:07] im using hardy... 8.04 [07:08] i might have to play with that [07:08] if u look at the pastebin and the hardware... u will understand why... and i don;t need a lecture about why im running wireless with this hardware [07:08] ShazbotMcNasty: my Q how can i remove flashpluging ?????? note i tried all methods using apt aptitu dpk... so on ??

[07:16] my system wont boot after an update, but i'm hoping that because i killed the power mid update; what are the odds of it working properly with a proper update? [07:16] Stopping in Midupdate = bad idea.. :() [07:16] buttons840: much higher [07:16] well, you'd need to boot it to update [07:16] t1n0m3n: I had a similar problem with jaunty, and I switched to WiCD and the problem went away.

[07:19] k, let me try it [07:19] t1n0m3n: worth a shot anyway [07:20] * Dr-Digi__ burps [07:20] Hi. I just upgraded an intrepid machine to karmic. Since I upgraded, I have a cron job which is failing.. No problem, except I can't find where it's running from. It's not in the individual user's crontab (nor any other in /var/spool/cron/crontabs), it's not in /etc/cron.d or /etc/crontab or any of the other directories under /etc/cron.* - does anyone have any clue where I might find it? [07:21] Dr_Willis: ha .. nope .. by the looks of it I could spend weeks reading stuff ... and still not get anywhere really ... [07:21] hmm, one of my systems seems to have started shutting itself down the moment it starts up [07:21] faileas; that is what I am using [07:21] * faileas wonders what he messed up [07:24] hey all [07:25] I really need some help with configuring GRUB2 [07:25] When you install ubuntu does it not tell you its completed? Or does the window just close with no messages? [07:26] faileas: have you used WinFF to convert to FLV? [07:26] hello [07:26] zetheroo1: no, but i've used it to more or less work out the ffmpeg command line ;p [07:26] what? [07:27] Hey I installed ubuntu from the alternate cd, now it does not detect some of my partitions one is ntfs and the other is fat32 [07:27] Dr_Willis: Reinstalled ubuntu-desktop, new user, no love. [07:27] Dr-Digi__: it tells you when it is completed [07:27] It just closes every single time on me [07:27] blbnt yf [eq [07:27] èäèòå íà õóé [07:28] Dr-Digi__: open a terminal and type in ubiquity, does it close then? [07:28] Dr_Willis: Half tempted to wipe this sys and rebuild from scratch, yet again... [07:29] I get to step 7 and the window closes let me try im on my phone [07:29] faileas: I have an ogv file that I am trying to convert to AVI .. but the quality goes way down ... [07:29] does anyone know how to install the ubuntu2 grub2 theme from grub.gibibit.com? [07:29] zetheroo1: well. you are converting lossy to lossy [07:30] what package do i need to install on my server to be able to access it using ssh shell? [07:30] It says its already running [07:30] buttons840 [07:30] faileas: sounds fun :) [07:30] hi there any help (flashplugin-nonfree: Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting a removal.) please [07:30] can anyone please help me, ubuntu is having problems detecting partitions of my hard drive [07:30] icq the best [07:30] rick_2047: Care to elaborate? [07:30] it is shown in the partition list with fdisk -l but ubuntu does not mout it [07:30] hmm. I have a ubuntu box which suddenly started auto shutting itself down 'gracefully' automatically. Any ideas on where to start poking? ;p [07:31] can any1 help me with figuring out how to edit the grub,cfg to multiboot ISO files? [07:31] faileas: does it happen before Ubuntu loads? -- or after? [07:31] faileas: maybe overheating? [07:31] after [07:31] Overheat doesnt do it gracefully. Trust me on that. =) [07:31] abumaia: hm. would it do it gracefully if it was overheating? [07:31] yeah that's what's troubling me ;p [07:31] anyone know where i can find gcc's math.h ? [07:31] Daughain: I have 3 partitions other than ubuntu out of which 1 is shown other two are ntfs and vfat [07:31] faileas: I guess it depends on your definition of "gracefully" [07:32] faileas, it might be a power management problem [07:32] faileas: Overheat just shuts ndown bang, nothing. [07:32] abumaia: i mean, as if someone shut it down properly ;p [07:32] Pingu: plugged in laptop, no power management tools installed as far as i know [07:32] Daughain: when I tried the disk utility they are shown as unused space [07:32] so it might be a setting to shut down due to CPU high temp in the BIOS [07:32] rick_2047: Need to make sure that those formats are supported in the disk utility you are using. [07:32] what ufw command do i use to allow any computer on 192.168.1.* to access port 137? [07:32] i'll take a look at te bios [07:33] then [07:33] rick_2047: NTFS should be, but I've never heard of vfat [07:33] faileas: does is "shut down" or switch off cold? [07:33] * faileas notes i though i had this system running well ;p [07:33] zetheroo1: shut down [07:33] Daughain: i mean fat32 [07:33] faileas: I know the feeling.. =) [07:33] sudo ufw allow proto udp to any port 137 from 192.168.1.0/24? [07:33] thats why i said gracefully [07:33] rick_2047: Make sure MS formats are set to be recognized. [07:33] faileas: so Ubuntu actually shuts down? ... before or after you login? [07:33] Daughain: and another fat32 filesystem is detected [07:33] Daughain: gah. its a minimal box [07:33] does anyone know how to install any of the grub2 themes from grub.gibibit.com? [07:34] Daughain: how do I set that? [07:34] faileas: does it have a battery? by "plugged in" you mean it is running only on AC? [07:34] rick_2047: What are you using to access the drive? [07:34] zetheroo1: autologs in, shows me a tasty glimse of openbox (which is what i use) and immediately starts shutting down === sleeping`dragon is now known as error404notfound [07:34] Pingu: AC + nearly full battery [07:34] abumaia: the grub2 in ubuntu dosent support themes. you sould have to use a newer version of grub2 from PPA or source then try the themes.. [07:34] abumaia: proberly in the next release they will be using more of the features of grub2 for that eyecandy [07:35] Daughain: this is sata hard drive using the standard ubuntu nautilus interface to but they are not shown in the moutable partitions [07:35] faileas: wow ... interesting [07:35] faileas: turn it off, take the battery out, let it run with AC only and see if it still happens... [07:35] Dr_Willis: hm, the grub.gibibit.com site said that the graphics features were already in the ubuntu packages, they just didn't provide any installation instructions [07:35] tah't is - after checking the BIOS [07:35] rick_2047: May need to add them manually as mountable. Just dont ask me how to do that, I'm not sure, since I have bever had to. [07:36] is it possible to have one user who can log in without a password and another use who requires a password? [07:36] no thermal warning option in the bios [07:36] Sounds like an ACPI issue [07:36] hmm [07:36] its also booting off a USB drive, EXT4, proper install [07:36] Daughain: I can add them using the fstab but thats ridiculous I never had to do that [07:36] run 'acpi -V' in a console [07:36] faileas: I don't think it would be a heat issue ... [07:36] but, its worked fine for about a week [07:36] what does it say? [07:36] Pingu: now. if i could boot in, i could [07:37] rick_2047: DOnt ask me, I'm a newbie. :P I agree it is ridiculous, but....This is linux. =) [07:37] faileas: I have had heat issues and that is not how my systems acted to overheating [07:37] zetheroo1: yeah, i know. this is WIERD [07:37] can someone tell me what to put in the menu entry of grub.cfg to boot the UBCD411.iso ? [07:37] faileas: can you boot off of a Live CD and locate the system logs? [07:37] abumaia: thats not how i read the grub2 docs and forums when i was doing beta. there was quite a bit of stuff removed from grub2. such as some of the scripting language features. (lua?) [07:37] faileas: what do you mean? [07:37] how can i check what ubuntu version i have installed from console? [07:38] hm [07:38] removing the battery helped [07:38] faileas: are you sure it's not someone ssh'ing into the box and shutting it down remotely? as a prank or hack? [07:38] abumaia: I seem to recall some grub2 ubuntu wiki/docs discussing how to get the themeable grub2 stuff versions installed [07:38] My three year old exited chat for me [07:38] abumaia: no. no one here is smart enough ;p [07:38] ok, i got it working for now ;p [07:38] !grub2 [07:38] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [07:39] could always unplug the ether cable [07:39] quellhorst: lsb_release or 'cat /etc/issue [07:39] Dr-Digi__: enter irssi+screen [07:39] ' [07:39] Pingu: thanks [07:39] Pingu, i don't think booting iso is supported in grub2 yet. that's what i remember reading at the community documentation. [07:39] Im on my phone i havent customized it to much yet [07:40] Pingu: booting an iso file qwith grub2 IS SUPPORTED - i do it all the time [07:40] Dr_Willis: ANy more ideaS? [07:40] Cant get ubuntu to install to put that to real use [07:41] hmm === sebi_` is now known as sebi` [07:41] Daughain: so installung ubuntu-desktpp and a new user dident fix things? [07:41] "critical temprature reached 94 degrees, shutting down" [07:41] Dr_Willis: Nope. [07:41] and removing the battery helped? [07:41] Dr_Willis: can you help me with the configuration? [07:41] ok... the heck? [07:41] http://delicious.com/dr_willis/grub2 [07:41] well, I suppose I could make do with BURG until grub2 is ready. I do like the ubuntu2 theme better than any of the others though [07:41] Dr_Willis: Did lose my wd passport, though, which is not a happy thing. [07:41] Pingu: see the links i got [07:41] what command tells me which folders i'm sharing on my system? [07:42] it keeps telling me 'unknown command' to anything I try [07:42] any help ?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111 [07:42] Now I need to figure out how to access the thing so I can back it up... [07:42] Multiple exclamation(/question) marks are a sure sign of a diseased mind. [T.Pratchett] [07:42] bashca, relax [07:42] Pingu: you have to make a custome grub entry to boot each iso. you dotn just select a iso and boot it. its not that smart. [07:42] bashca: calm down you're not trapped in rubble in ahiti [07:42] haiti [07:42] quellhorst: you are most welcome! [07:42] Anyone at all willing to remote desktop into my system to see if they can see why ubuntu wont install? [07:42] Dr-Digi__: if it wont install .. how can they remote in? [07:42] Dr-Digi__, nope [07:43] Livecd runs [07:43] and what does the installer not do/fail to do? [07:43] Dr_Willis, that's not what the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto says. is it that they've not updated it? last time I checked it said support was not there in GRUB2 for iso. [07:43] infamy: exports - if you are using samba [07:43] dnivra: ive been booting iso files with it sincwe beta. [07:43] Step 7 it closes [07:43] No warning or messages [07:43] is the african chat? [07:43] Dr-Digi__: run installer from termianl look for messages.. or try alternative installer cd i guess. [07:44] Dr_Willis, sorry didn't see those links-pretty slow connection here with an amazing lag time. this is news. [07:44] darthanubis: infid ok [07:44] With grub2 you can directly boot an (iso9660) ISO using its loopback option. This is great because it provides another nice rescue scenario – [07:44] Pingu: assuming you meant me, and /etc/exports, i am using samba but dont have an /etc/exports [07:44] dnivra: i made a multi-ubuntu flash drive that uses grub2 and can boot ubuntu, kubuntu, xubuntu, unr, and alt iso files. :) [07:45] where the nappy headed hoes at? [07:45] Ill try freebsd all i need is 1 damn illustrator file off a max os x volume and i been at it ALL day [07:45] infid: /etc/exports is nfs [07:45] dnivra: the disrto has to support the feature also.. most are slowly converting/changeign to allow the very handy feature [07:45] llutz do you know how to list all the shared folders on a machine [07:45] Dr_Willis: look for freesbie [07:45] llutz using samba [07:46] anyone experience a slow internet connection after installing add-ons is there a rule of thumb for waiting on updating add-ons???? [07:46] Dr_Willis, that is awesome. I just cant wait to do so. wish my connection were a bit faster so that I can open the link you gave me. [07:46] infid: smbclient -L //localhost? sry, i don't use samba [07:46] Dr_Willis, Oh ok that could be a hitch eh-whether or not the distro supports it or not? [07:46] Dr-Digi__: freesbie [07:46] I can accept that Ubuntu reserves a few hundred meg of ram that I can't account for in the system monitors process list, but it really bothers me that it uses more of this "secret" memory after a few days uptime [07:46] dnivra: of course. the disrtop has to support some option to switch over to the 'loop' mounted device that grub does. if not.. then it dont do it. [07:46] anyone experience a slow internet connection after installing add-ons firefox is there a rule of thumb for waiting on updating add-ons???? [07:47] llutz thanks [07:47] dnivra: so far most all the ubuntu varisits support it. xpud. some rescue disrtos and proberly more ive not rried lately [07:47] infid: sorry, I meant you [07:47] try 'exportfs -a' [07:47] Dr_Willis, oh boy thanks for that piece of information. lot's more digging to do before I try it out. [07:48] pingu i dont have that command. and i'm using samba, as set up by nautilus when you right click a folder and choose 'share' [07:48] dnivra: on my installed systems i add a entry to grub to boot an iso file as a special 'rescue' operation. :) [07:48] Pingu: export/exportfs are nfs-related, not samba [07:48] dnivra: i need to add that to a 'feature/brain storm request' :) [07:48] Dr_Willis: Can you be more specific? I am trying to follow different guides without any success. [07:49] hello [07:49] Dr_Willis> would you paste the grub2 entry you use please ? [07:49] Dr_Willis, will try that rescue option out. [07:49] Hey everybody! I love this new aptitude feature! "sudo aptitude torrent " [07:49] :P [07:49] I have Kubuntu Hardy and I installed the 'grub-pc' package [07:49] how can I hide my hostname from other hosts in the same wireless network? my hostname is seen in router page [07:49] hackoo: reconfigure your router [07:50] pastebinit 40_custom [07:50] llutz: hostename of my client machine. [07:50] http://pastebin.com/f136292a9 [07:50] hackoo: It is normal for the router to see a list of connected IP / hostnames (unless you make the hostname invisible somehow?) [07:50] hackoo: you cannot hide it, reconfigure your router not to show it [07:50] Dr_Willis, thanks man :) [07:51] Hmm.. how do you make a hostname invisible? :) [07:51] llutz: the weird thing is i just right-clicked ~/Music in nautilus and shared it but smbclient -L //myPC doesn't list the 'Music' folder [07:51] infid, llutz: /me smacks himself on the forehead... [07:51] use a blank character? [07:51] infid: try findsmb and the smbtree commands? [07:51] kinja-sheep: that the way, but how to make hostename and mac address invisible? [07:51] An invisible space bar! Maybe. Or just don't run certain services. [07:52] kinja-sheep: years ago we would use 'shift space' on some os's :) [07:52] why don't i have an aclocal.m4? i swear i used to have one somewhere in /usr/{share,lib}/automake*/ [07:52] !find aclocal.m4 [07:52] File aclocal.m4 found in auctex, dejagnu, gauche-dev, gnus, libltdl-dev (and 9 others) [07:52] hackoo: You don't. Clients sends DHCP request via through MAC address. Once that is done, all communications then takes place through IP. [07:53] hackoo: you can't and it wouldn't make sense to try [07:53] It sayx not to edit the 'exec tail' line above and you erased it, why is that ? [07:53] llutz: ok [07:53] how do i pipe output from ls into a file? [07:53] Diverdude: ls > file [07:53] calliscope: becasue i wanted to add the echo messages to let it know it was running [07:53] calliscope: more then 1 way to 'pipe the rest of this file to the stdnard output' [07:53] llutz, and if the file does not exist? [07:53] ok [07:53] Diverdude: ls > file [07:54] Diverdude: It'll create whatever the file exists or not, it does not care. It'll overwrite the file. [07:54] Diverdude:if it exists and you want to append, ls >> file [07:54] Diverdude: If you want to add at end of the files, use "ls >> file" [07:54] calliscope: other sites have other examples of proper grub2 iso entries. [07:54] thx [07:54] i have tried a few and didn't get any luck [07:55] how do I create a mountpoint in /media ? [07:55] calliscope: http://www.panticz.de/MultiBootUSB [07:55] what if i make a unknown user account and login from that to hide the original hostname? [07:55] duckwars: sudo mkdir /media/point [07:55] hey guys, fyi, i have just read on the news they're going to make 2 Tb sd cards lawl haha [07:55] llutz: thank you very much [07:55] hackoo: hostname is user-independend [07:55] calliscope: ive not tried it lately. i did notice that my entries are not in the grub menus also since last week.. i wonder if theres been some changes to grub2 that ive overlooked. [07:55] Dr_Willis: thanks [07:55] actually, it's line 12 that i should work on. which vmlinuz t o indicate. [07:55] calliscope: i doubt if they removed the feature.. [07:56] ok [07:56] Dr_Willis, do you have os-prober installed ? [07:56] Dr_Willis: Can you post the proper syntax to boot the UltimateBoot CD ISO? [07:56] plz [07:57] Pingu: i dont have it handy. and i dont use that cd.. check their forums. its different for different disrtos. [07:57] Hi. System > Preferences > Appearance > Visual Effects has three radio buttons: None, Normal, Extra. I set this to Normal but after every reboot, it reverts to None. Does anyone know where this setting is stored and what might be keeping it from storing properly? [07:57] Pingu: perhaps some day all these live cd's will follow the same standard. [07:57] even xPUD and ubuntu and TCLinux use different options/names for the same 'job' [07:57] hackoo: what you want is called spoofing and isn't supported here. /j #howtobecome133thackz0r [07:58] Hi, [07:58] i recently purchase a Benq laptop (joybook S57B) and i experience trouble with high temperature of the cpu : the bios turn off the machine to prevent CPU overheating. I'm currently running kernel 2.6.32.10-generic which comes with lucid alpha2 (january-14). sensors-detect do not detects the cpu's fan. [07:58] The cooling cpu fan seems do not work at all when the kernel boot, and that happened with all debian-like distro i tried (karmic, lenny, debian testing, knoppix). However i'd that when i turn off the laptop the ubuntu logo remain on the screen (which is another bug i guess linked with this alpha release) and suddenly the fan is working... [07:58] I first post on some forum to ask help and search topic about my problem (i found the reporting bug/451337) in order to find a patch to solve that issue. Does you know a patch already released for lucid? I guess my problem is a little different regarding all the kernels i tried. I now consider that a best option will be to change the cpu cooling fan for another one compatible with the ubuntu hardware request. Can you please help me to solve that issue [07:58] patoncito1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:59] patoncito1: lucid support in #ubuntu+1 [07:59] patoncito1: and if its happiong with many different disrtos. it may be a kernel issue [08:00] i think so [08:00] laptop makers have their own idea of what 'standards' are. they like to make up their own [08:01] 'new' laptops and mb's are often the most problematic. :( [08:01] patoncito1: if theres a bug posted - keep testing lucid on it and report progress/if it ever gets fixed to the bug reports [08:02] I just connected my xubuntu laptop to wifi and checked my email. Only took two days too! [08:02] Thanks for your help people. === krups_v2 is now known as krups [08:02] how do i make top display memory in MB? [08:02] Two days? Last time I installed a laptop it took me about 45 minutes from inserting the disk to being online [08:03] jeeez: a -h (human readable) option is popular with most standard commands [08:03] Took me longer than 45 just to let the install run [08:03] Jasonrj: So how do you like ubuntu???? [08:03] Dr_Willis: i read some about the fan cooling issue, most of them solve by patch. I will open an new bug thanks [08:03] jeeez: -H rather... heh [08:03] My wifi hardware was not supported, had to use ndiswrapper. This is my first time using linux so I had no idea what I was doing at all. [08:03] Ademan: thanks [08:03] Jasonrj: Ok, then you're doing pretty well. Getting ndiswrapper to work can be.. challenging. [08:03] triplexxx: Nice so far, I like how much I can customize the menus and stuff, running faster than XP was as well. [08:04] jeeez: no thanks necessary, also, top doesn't appear to support that option lol [08:04] Ademan: still not in mB, shows it as % [08:04] Ademan: yeah :( [08:04] llutz: ok thanks, i dont want to spoof, anyways is it a real channel suggested ny you. [08:04] by* [08:04] hackoo: just kidding, sorry [08:05] np [08:05] Jasonrj: you can watch youtube videos to find so of the latest how to use this if visual helps a lot just search for product [08:05] i just want to profile memory usage of a program, i was doing `top | grep app` [08:05] jeeez: you do know that the VIRT and RES are virual and resident memory respectively right? [08:05] Jasonrj: have you found a list of compatible software???? [08:05] Ademan: yup [08:05] oh yeah [08:06] i'm not sure how they calculate the percentage (resident / physical ?) but you should be able to determine a useful value from virt and res [08:06] :| [08:06] triplexxx: Doing that now, my biggest problem was a major bug I ran into with my network manager, and also the driver I found on a forum was for 64bit which I am not using, but didn't realize it for a few hours :O [08:06] Ademan: sorry :D [08:06] jeeez: :-p [08:06] triplexxx: I've just started browsing software from the add/remove software menu [08:07] Jasonrj: just watch youtube videos on that software add/remove will take all night === verb_ is now known as verb3k [08:08] triplexxx: Will do :) [08:09] Jasonrj: try this link also http://www.linuxrsp.ru/win-lin-soft/table-eng.html#5 [08:10] Awesome, thanks [08:13] how i can display output of files or programms a deamon is in use [08:14] Any other ideas for the "Nautilus cannot handle 'network' locations" error? [08:14] duke_, I don't get what you're saying. [08:14] ayall guys, please could you tell me if you think using same keypair for encryption and signing would be dangerous in terms of security? [08:14] i don't like to use two keypairs, one for signing and one for encrypting, but if it's dangerous to use a single one for both, i may think about it [08:17] OK, how about where is the conf file for nautilus? [08:17] que onda [08:18] Daughain: if a new user has the same issue. then that points to it not being a user config file issue [08:18] hola joecromo23 jeje , te explico este canal es el oficial y usan ingles como idioma, para español entra en #ubuntu-es [08:19] isnt this output a bit weird never heard of avahi http://pastebin.com/m276f8949 [08:20] Dr_Willis: The full error message says;Could not display"network:///" Nautilus cannot handle "network" locations [08:21] Dr_Willis: The extra '/' in there took me a while to notice... [08:21] Dr_Willis: SO, can I remove that extra '/'??=) [08:21] network:/// is the url it uses here for the network. so 3 /// is right [08:21] hi, how do i add a kernel option with grub2 in 9.10 ? [08:22] i have pidgin and need to know how to configure it's OTR feature [08:22] Dr_Willis: Damn, every time I thni I found something that will help.. =) [08:22] Hi. System > Preferences > Appearance > Visual Effects has three radio buttons: None, Normal, Extra. I set this to Normal but after every reboot, it reverts to None. Does anyone know where this setting is stored and what might be keeping it from storing properly? [08:22] Daughain: thers some gnome service/gvfs thing that handles that stuff. some hiow you managed to remove/stop it im guessing [08:22] xiong: Are you closing out of visual effects properly? [08:23] i wonder if you could somehow force a reinstall of ubuntu-desktop, [08:23] Dr_Willis: OK, where is it? [08:23] Daughain, Do you mean, am I closing out the window by clicking the close box? [08:23] xiong: Yes. [08:23] Daughain: you could just move all the users .* setting type dirs to some other directory if you want to test the users settings [08:23] Daughain: but i dont think its a user setting issue [08:24] Dr_Willis: In other words, I may as well as reinstall ubuntu from scratch. [08:24] That would seriously suck./ [08:24] Daughain: you did check the forums and bug reports? [08:24] lucky https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Custom%20Menu%20Entries [08:24] Daughain: try smb:/// see if that work [08:25] Dr_Willis: No, because I dont expect this is a bug, and, next week is too long for me to try and mess around in forums to find my answer. [08:25] !help [08:25] 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. :-) [08:25] Daughain, I am pretty sure that's not it. I can't swear it, because I haven't tried that particular cycle of action as an experiment. But I habitually close windows of that sort; I don't leave them open through reboot. In fact, I habitually close all applications manually before reboot (although, I suppose, not before crashing). I've seen this failure to retain settings consistently through many iterations of try-and-see; it's cro [08:25] pped up since upgrade to Karmic. [08:26] iflema: i don't want to add a custom entry, i just want to add a single kernel parameter [08:26] i just wanna know the file started this service [08:26] Daughain: it appears to be related to 'gvfs' some how. from what i just googled. [08:26] xiong: Just a basic question.....Though, if you ugradedm instead of doinbg a fesh karmic install, that could be the issue right there, xiong . Upgrade has prived to be unreliable. [08:26] because somehow there are services getting started on my system dont know where belong [08:26] Daughain: its a 'bug' because removing kubuntu or kde or whatever dident properly set it back. would be my logic [08:26] lucky /etc/default/grub https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [08:27] Dr_Willis: Where is gfvs? [08:27] iflema: yes i read through the wiki and i t doesn't make a lot of sense :( [08:27] Daughain, It's not the only issue I've had. I'm seriously thinking of shoving all my files onto DVD and doing a repartition (anyway) and fresh install. You can understand if I'm not eager. [08:27] Daughain: its a special feature of gnome to allow remote filesystem/virtual filesystem features like network:/// and smb:/// and ftp:/// [08:27] Daughain: theres a .gvfs directroy in the users home. [08:28] isnt there a comment to find file which started service [08:28] xiong: DUSnno about a rrpart, but fresh install of karmic is the way to go. [08:28] Dr_Willis: ok, time to take a look at that. [08:28] lucky whats the required parameter... you could just make a custom entry with the parameter included [08:28] Daughain, I feel my partitioning scheme was suboptimal; this is not a Karmic issue, merely something to be done before a fresh install. [08:28] hello [08:28] Daughain: does 'smb:///' show the samba/wiondiows shares? [08:29] iflema: nohz=off [08:29] xiong: Ok....Then, yeah, thats prolly thge best way to go. [08:29] dr_ No such file/.directory [08:29] lucky good luck [08:29] Dr_Willis: No such file/dir [08:29] I wish I had some idea what I have to do *after* a fresh install to get my stuff back off DVD and into the box. It's one thing to restore home/; but there's all the other stuff, like all the CPAN modules I've installed and who knows what else. [08:29] iflema: i'm just going to stick it in grub.cfg [08:29] iflema: i'll re-add it when it gets wiped out [08:29] lucky negative [08:29] hello [08:30] where is my mac adress stored under karmic ? [08:30] I'm sorry to say I have not kept a paper record of everything done to the system. I have the notebook now, ready to fill in from the point of the repartition onwards. [08:30] Daughain: how about file:///home or file:////home [08:30] ssm2017 ifconfig [08:30] someone is speaking about /etc/iftab but i cant find id [08:30] does adobe air work well on ubuntu ? [08:30] plz I have a problem with my firewall and noip2 , can u tell me plz on what port noip2 is runing plz?? :) [08:31] Dr_Willis: Nope. [08:31] quit [08:31] Dhananjay2, my problem is that my network car is not working because this is a virtual machine that doesnt have the good mac adress so i need to change it because ifconfig is telling me "no such device" [08:31] Also nothing in the .gfvs folder either.... [08:32] XDS, adobe air is working fine for me [08:32] Daughain: sudo apt-get install gvfs-backends [08:32] ssm2017 how about the pandora one desktop app ? [08:32] Daughain: then log out/back in and try it [08:32] Dr_Willis: Whats a backend anyway? [08:33] XDS, i dont know this, im just using a simple air app that is not making problems [08:33] somthing that runs in the background [08:33] what is the file /etc/iftab ? [08:33] Daughain: sudo apt-get install gvfs-backends libgnomevfs2-extra perhaps... [08:33] xiong: for CPAN you can use dh-make-perl and with dpkg --get-selections and dpkg --set-selections you can export and load a package list [08:33] Wating for the first install to run. =) [08:33] Daughain: "a software program that controls operations not specified by the user" [08:34] kinja-sheep: Thanks. [08:34] Dr_Willis: gimme a min to logout. [08:34] According to many sources, it's not necessary to enable Compiz by selecting Visual Effects; one just goes straight to CompizConfig. I don't find this the case. [08:34] I'm still at a loss for this. My hardware needs a kernel parameter to run, i'm running Ubuntu 9.10. How do I add a kernel parameter for bootup? [08:34] lucky ill hint some what... if ya gut grub.cfg add that to custom menu, then knockout some of the important ones in /etc/grub.d and BAM you customisable [08:34] * Dr_Willis just googled for ---> Nautilus cannot handle "network" locations 9.10 and is repeating what he found on the link that said [SOLVED] :) [08:35] iflema: i don't understand [08:35] lucky its cryptic [08:35] hspaans, Do you mean dpkg for the aptitude package installs? [08:35] Dr_Willis: Thats what I needed. =) [08:36] xiong: If you have not installed the compiz config manager then you will have to enable the Visual Effects [08:36] xiong: aptitude is just a front-end for dpkg [08:36] hi all. i am on ubuntu karmic and it seems, tha cpu frequency scaling doesn't work reliably, often when i run application or commands, that eat 100% cpu, cpu frequency stays at 800MHz instead of switching to 2400MHz [08:36] hspaans: aptitude is a frontend to apt, not dkpg [08:36] dpkg [08:36] Now I need to fgure out the rest of the configuratio I need for what I want... [08:36] * Dr_Willis just googled for ---> Nautilus cannot handle "network" locations 9.10 and is repeating what he found on the link that said [SOLVED] :) [08:37] Daughain: :P [08:37] Daughain: now its ODD that ubuntu-desktop metapaciage dident pull that in. [08:37] what is even worse: since ubuntu karmic i cannot compile my own version of the cpufreq module, since it's a part of the kernel (no module anymore) [08:37] Got a link for apt-get , apptitude and packmanger... [08:37] Openbox won't start. [08:37] Daughain: and i cant imagine why removeing kde would remove it.. what else did you do to it? :) [08:38] Dr_Willis: Lets say I have not had good results trying google. [08:38] Dr_Willis: Lemme grab some coffee while I try to remember what I difd and in what order. [08:38] Daughain: Time to increase your google fu skills then young padawan.... [08:38] rikkudo, I have installed CompizConfig. But when I reboot, Compiz is disabled. I have to go to System > Preferences > Appearance > Visual Effects and select "Normal" to enable. I don't know why; this is only since Karmic upgrade. [08:39] xiong: http://kevin.vanzonneveld.net/techblog/article/restore_packages_using_dselectupgrade/ [08:40] hspaans, Gotcha. So I use the dh- suite to restore my CPAN modules, dpkg to restore my software installs generally -- all those I've installed through Synaptic or apt. What other things must I be careful to backup and restore? [08:40] llutz: whatever makes you happy [08:40] Dr_Willis: fu google is right. =) [08:41] xiong: dh-make-perl can be used to create packages so you always know what has been installed [08:41] Dr_Willis: OK, I uninstalled samba while in kde, then did a reinstall. That didnt do what I wanted, so I used autoremove ... --purge to remove samba.... [08:41] Daughain: whats scary is i juist googled for the exact error message with '9.10' at the end. :) [08:41] Openbox wont start... if I start it from xterm it works fine. Any idea why? [08:41] i dont know how to save a log or anything so i cant reall do much [08:41] xiong: you may want to keep a copy of /etc as well for future configuration issues === rishabh is now known as Guest22533 [08:41] hi [08:41] Daughain: i still dont see how that would of affected gvfs at all. but autoremove MIGHT of done somtjhing if you had removed ubuntu-desktop also [08:42] how can i delete a folder i created [08:42] hspaans, That's cool. I didn't think CPAN and Synaptic stuff would be the worst of it; they stick out. I worry more about little setup and config files scattered here and there. [08:42] Dr_Willis: Tried a reinstall, and that popped an error for installing samba... [08:42] dr_ listen to the whole thing. I'm going through it ste by step. [08:42] when i try to delete it it says i dont have rights [08:42] Gesi: Use sudo [08:42] hspaans, I'd like to avoid the paranoid full backup of the entire machine onto a spindle of DVDs. [08:42] i used sudo rmdir ... [08:42] Gesi: You need to have write-permission to the folder containing the folder [08:42] no effect [08:43] Dr_Willis: funny fu google and fu youtube should go in there so times videos are better even though I use videosurf.com [08:43] Gesi: Try sudo rm -r name [08:43] Dr_Willis: AT tat point I decided to switch to gnome to deal with samba, switched, and did a full package uninstall via synaptics. At that point it removed a large portion of kde apps. [08:43] xiong: then switch from cpan to dh-make-perl, pear to dh-make-pear, etc [08:43] it's the desktop [08:43] i am trying [08:43] Gesi: You can't delete the desktop I think. [08:43] no no [08:43] the folder containing it is the desktop [08:44] haha [08:44] Dr_Willis: In the middle of that uninstall, I oopsed and shtu off kdm, which kicked me to xtrerm, and I had to rbeoot to get back to gnome. Ran dpkg -a, and then ran the uninstall again... [08:44] xiong: just buy a usb-hd, do a daiy rdiff-backup and keep a ubuntu install disk around [08:44] why would i need to delete the desktop [08:44] Gesi: Well, rm -r ~/Desktop/whatever [08:44] theadmin, yes it worked [08:44] Openbox wont start... if I start it from xterm it works fine. Any idea why? i dont know how to save a log or anything so i cant reall do much [08:44] thanks [08:44] Dr_Willis: Once that was al done, I installed samba with no issues, buyt then ra across the error you helped me with. [08:45] theadmin, and one question === ammonkey_ is now known as ammonkey [08:45] xiong: and if you're wise, just config the usb-hd with LUKS and it can be encrypted as well [08:45] hspaans, Sorry, we're not on the same wavelength on the CPAN issue anymore. I may need to study up. As for the USB HD, dunno. That could run into quite a bit of cash. [08:45] Gesi: Yes? [08:45] theadmin, i donwloaded Angry ip scanner and now it doesnt work and i cant uninstall it [08:45] RocketLauncher: You could make a new desktop session to launch openbox and some other apps and hope to figure out whats going on with it. [08:46] Gesi: You installed it via package or via some binary installer? [08:46] theadmin, i installed from ubuntu soft. center [08:46] Dr_Willis, i'll try that [08:46] Gesi: Hm, I don't know what package it is, but it should let you remove it the same way [08:47] xiong: please study and don't worry. and the usb-hd, you can use them about 3 to 4 years for a daily rdiff-backup and set that price to say a weekly/daily backup to DVDs, but it is your money and your choice [08:47] Gesi, theadmin: I do not see any package for angry IP scanner. I think you obtained the DEB from jungle wilderness of Internet. [08:47] hspaans, Looks like I have about 33 Mb altogether. That's a dozen DVDs -- doable but unpleasant. I'd like to make a more intelligent selection during the backup phase. [08:48] kinja-sheep: He sedzit it's present in USC... are you running Karmic at least? [08:48] Dr_Willis, i tried launching openbox from windowmaker and it worked just fine [08:48] Does anybody know of a free vpn service that works with Ubuntu? === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz [08:48] kinja-sheep theadmin ,sorry i got it from sourceforge and installed it [08:48] theadmin: Yes I am. [08:48] !away > JimmyJ|zz [08:48] JimmyJ|zz, please see my private message [08:48] This us setriously gonna get on my nerves tonight.... [08:48] Gesi: Ah, makes sense then... Hm, was it a .deb file? [08:48] xiong: http://rdiff-backup.nongnu.org/ <-- just take your time to read up what you need [08:49] theadmin, i think it was another format [08:49] hspaans, For CPAN, why not perl -MCPAN -e autobundle [08:49] theadmin: Open a terminal --> "apt-cache search angry" Look for installed package. [08:49] theadmin, mayge sth starting with r [08:49] Gesi: RPM?! [08:49] RocketLauncher: err.. launching one window manager from a 2nd window manager? thats a little weird. :) [08:49] theadmin, yes [08:49] hello [08:49] Gesi: That is not an ubuntish format [08:50] !rpm | Gesi [08:50] Gesi: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [08:50] Gesi: In the future, use the repository or .deb packages. [08:50] theadmin, i conerted it with alien someone told me how to [08:50] Dr_Willis, well there's a menu for that [08:50] This is why I run kde over gnome..... [08:50] xiong: for CPAN, you may not want to bypass the dpkg. make-dh-perl just creates a DEB-package from CPAN and it will always show up in packagemanagers [08:50] Gesi: Well, sorry, I've no idea how to use those on Ubuntu, it's actually not recommended [08:51] Gesi: "apt-cache search ipscan" -- You see any installed packages? [08:51] hspaans, By "study up" I meant getting the list of installed Perl modules. I want to do this carefully and vet the list by hand, since there's issues with XML::SAX. [08:51] hspaans, I have always installed from CPAN using cpan. [08:51] Kinja-sheep: He did not use APT to install it, so it won't be in apt-cache at all. [08:52] xiong: so also in your dpkg --get-selections for example, but there is also a copy of that in /var/backups [08:52] RocketLauncher: thats exiting windowmanager and starting openbox. theres also a GDM session to just launch a terminal you may want to try. How else are you trying to start openbox? [08:52] theadmin: If he used alien to convert it, it could be. [08:52] Dr_Willis, gdm [08:53] xiong: you're replacing libxml-sax-perl in ubuntu? [08:53] RocketLauncher: its possible the gdm session (openbox.desktop) or whatever entry is doing somthing wrong. You couild make your own. [08:53] kinja-sheep: Oh. [08:53] hello [08:53] hspaans, Anyway, this really isn't my worry. I'm confident I can restore the list of installed Perl modules; I'm confident I can restore installled software and despite the time required, I'll probably do that all from the network and get fresh only. I'm much more worried about the little config files scattered about; and I'm very slow to spend money on hardware, sorry. [08:53] Does anyone here know what graphical library does xpaint use? Does not seem it's GTK, nor it looks Qt-ish [08:54] Dr_Willis, i dont know how [08:54] how do you create a shortcut via terminal [08:55] RocketLauncher: make a script called for example 'startopenbox.sh' use the commands 'xterm & then exec openbox' (2 lines) in it. and find/copy the openbox.desktop entry for gdm and rename.edit it to make it launch your new script. [08:55] man ln [08:55] deostroll, ^ [08:55] xiong: how much data do you have then? [08:55] deostroll: ln -s /location/of/file shortcut-filename is the quickest way [08:55] Dr_Willis, where openbox.desktop by the way [08:56] hspaans, I seem to have, at some point, installed XML::SAX from CPAN using cpan. This caused a bad conflict. I eventually removed all copies of it, which led to disaster, since apt/Synaptic depends on it to install stuff. So I had to install it from CPAN using cpan anyway, which may be the root of some of my issues. I want to be absolutely sure I don't fall into this trap again, so (not only for this reason) I plan to vet the CPAN [08:56] list by hand before restoring. [08:56] kinja-sheep, it says apt-catche is not found [08:56] RocketLauncher: use 'locate openbox.desktop' if thats its proper name.. it may be called somthing else. [08:56] Gesi: It is apt-cache, not apt-catche [08:56] hspaans, The entire filesystem is about 35 Gb. [08:56] RocketLauncher: or use 'locate gnome.desktop' and it is proberly in teh same place [08:56] theadmin thanx, no actually thank u all... [08:57] RocketLauncher /usr/share/xsessions/ [08:57] Dr_Willis, ok [08:57] theadmin, it sHOWS ONLY angry ip scanner [08:57] RocketLauncher: i have 3 different openbox related .desktop files.. i rember why i dident care for openbox now.. :) [08:57] theadmin, kinja-sheep: and a short description [08:57] Gesi: Great, so then, what is exactly what it gives? Please paste it to ubuntu.pastebin.com and give the link [08:57] xiong: ow you used cpan to replace software installed with a package manager, you on your own on that one === floops_ is now known as Floops [08:58] Anybody know how to get hotspot sheild or some other free VPN working on Ubuntu? [08:58] hspaans, I figure it's stupid to get a deliberately small piece of hardware, since a Tb can be had for about $100 [08:58] RocketLauncher: openbox.desktop is running the rather complex script openbox-session so it could be thats failing. [08:58] hspaans, Yes, it was careless. That's why I want to be double sure I don't do it again. [08:58] whew, finally got my RT2870USB wifi working [08:58] What's the command to force architecture on a package meant for i368 for a 64 system? I need to install this deb. [08:58] RocketLauncher: as a test you could go to just the failsafe terminal X session and try the command 'openbox-session' and look for error messages [08:58] xiong: then switch to dh-make-perl instead of native CPAN [08:59] Dr_Willis, i might try that [08:59] Oak: Is no x64 version available? [08:59] hi all [08:59] theadmin: I wish [08:59] RocketLauncher: its not too complex a script I guess. :) im looking at it now. [08:59] Oak: okay, let me see the mans [08:59] theadmin, i think it this http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/db423b51 [08:59] I set up a SVN directory, and I set the folder permissions recursively to owner be www-data, and the group to be subversion, they have full permissions, and i belong to the group subversion, however when I try to create some directory or something via svn i get a "cannot open file .../db/text-current-lock permission denied" [08:59] Dr_Willis, anyways you just want me to make a file with: xterm & (new line) exec openbox [08:59] hspaans, Okay, let's move on from that. It's really not the issue. The issue is the *other* 33 Gb. [08:59] and rename it openbox.desktop? [08:59] However if I set myself to the owner of the folder (rather than part of the group) its fine :/ [09:00] RocketLauncher: that would be a testing session.. no need to rename the ting, You could make your OWN 'myopenbox-session' script and try it.. or just try the stuff from that failsafe X session with just the terminal [09:00] Gesi: Okay, run "sudo apt-get remove ipscan && sudo apt-get autoremove" to remove it [09:00] Dr_Willis, i'll try the failsafe right now [09:00] plz can u tell me on which port noip2 is running?? the port 53 no? [09:01] Can samba be set to allow access without needing to login each time? [09:01] * Dr_Willis has never heard of noip2 [09:01] Daughain: yes. [09:01] theadmin, sorry but please i am trying to understand it too [09:01] !info samba-doc | Daughain [09:01] theadmin: sorry problem again!

So can I. =) [09:02] theadmin, why do you have to use remove && ... autoremove [09:02] ??? [09:02] xiong: with rdiff-backup you can have a timemachine like solution [09:03] theadmin, it's gone thanks [09:03] Ummm...WHats samba4???? [09:03] Gesi: Well, autoremove helps to get rid of unneeded dependencies [09:03] hspaans, Sorry, I don't think we're on the same wavelength. My issue is buying the hardware vs burning DVD (all) vs burning only some of the filesystem. Even with a complete, full backup, there's the issue of figuring out *what* to restore. Obviously, I don't want to restore anything that is now *causing* the issues I'm having. It would be foolish and pointless to do a backup, a fresh install, and a complete restore. [09:03] theadmin, aha thanks [09:04] deostroll: what are yoo trying to start? and how do you do it? [09:04] Dr_Willis, there's no failsafe x [09:04] Dr_Willis: OK, now how do I read the doc? [09:04] just a failsafe gnome [09:04] theadmin, and is there any option like for ex. when i press Shift,rightclick on a folder there is shown an option which allows me to start terminal in the current directory [09:05] theadmin, i mean vista like [09:05] Daughain: it isntalls to /usr/share/docs I recall. :) [09:05] iceroot: tweetdeck...the executable path is in /opt/TweetDeck/bin/TweetDeck [09:05] hspaans, As I said (and as I knew before), the right way to handle this is to make a paper notebook of every weird little corner case and one-char edit to obscure config files *as* you do them. I just didn't -- dunno why. [09:05] Gesi: Sorry, don't know, maybe is possible [09:05] deostroll: so you are using ./opt/TweetDeck/bin/TweetDeck ? [09:05] hspaans, Right now, I do not know exactly how my machine differs from a default install. [09:05] deostroll: after using chmod +x on it? [09:05] theadmin, ok thanks ,now i ll have morning bye [09:05] RocketLauncher: no session just to start a xterm ? Hmm.. i got one here.. wonder where it came from [09:06] Dr_Willis: As in read samba?? [09:06] iceroot: chmod which? the link or the executable? [09:06] deostroll: executable [09:06] That didnt work....... [09:06] /usr/share/doc/samba-doc/htmldocs [09:06] theadmin, :) [09:07] Thanks again. [09:07] Dr_Willis, oh i got one [09:07] Daughain: as in go to the directory and look at the files. :P [09:07] Gesi you can get a nautilus script that opens terminal here [09:07] hspaans, In fact, I'm just about certain that no amount of backing up is going to cover the whole thing. For instance, I recall that wine needs a special little script run before it's set up properly on my machine. [09:07] Daughain: its proberly overkill.. but its worth a read. [09:07] Dr_Willis, i'll try it again, i didnt look for error messages last time [09:07] deostroll: is it a shell script? then you can also use sh /path/to/the/file [09:07] * Dr_Willis thinks Rocketlauincher needs to switch to irssi in the console [09:07] iceroot: i think it has executable permission...when i double click on the exe it launches the app... [09:08] Dr_Willis: going to the dir is a great idea, if you have a clue wat you are looking for. ;P [09:08] Beware All You Sinners! It is correct practice to keep a small, paper notebook and write down it in *every* system configuration change, patch, and fix you make. It might take you a week to get your sound card working the first time but if it's right, you'll never touch it again, and you'll forget what you did to make it work. That notebook is your salvation come fresh install time. === root is now known as rocketlauncher [09:09] Dr_Willis, I get Openbox is configured for 4 desktops, but the current session has 1.

[09:16] Dr_Willis, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openbox/+bug/459005/comments/4 is a solution but I'm not sure [09:16] if i should use it [09:16] Daughain: you would rather have it in ascii text?

[09:19] :) [09:19] Dr_Willis, yeah [09:20] wish he didn't paste the entire autostart.sh as if it was necessary, it confused me there [09:20] then starts talking in the middle.. [09:20] rocketlauncher: as a dirty work around you could just have it not run the autostart. it seems thats causing the whold crash [09:20] hi all. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile says, that wanting another driver is no reason to compile a custom kernel. however, since in karmic many previous modules are now compiled into the kernel. how can use something like phc-linux _without_ compiling my own kernel? [09:20] rocketlauncher: yep. he dident use the proper codeblock/features in teh post [09:21] Dr_Willis, i don't have an autostart there [09:21] how come smbclient -L //myPC shows stuff but smbtree myPC doesn't? is there some firewall port i have to open [09:22] Dr_Willis, mines is in /etc/xdg/openbox/autostart.sh my bad [09:24] Dr_Willis: Neat doc...I coudnt find a mention of the gui I am using though.. [09:24] is there a windows printscreen equivalent for taking a screenshot in Ubuntu [09:25] xiong i prefer a wiki [09:25] mud_bat: the print screen key, or shift print screen [09:26] mud_bat yes, its even better [09:26] Dr_Willis, doesn't work [09:26] mud_bat > accesorries > print screen [09:26] mud_bat: you can also install Shutter, it's even better [09:26] hi all [09:26] it's not working for me... I'll try shutter. Thanks all [09:26] mud_bat: are you on Karmic? [09:27] mud_bat hows it not working? [09:27] it does nothing [09:27] Daughain: what gui? [09:27] mud_bat: if you're on Karmic: sudo apt-get install shutter [09:28] system-config-samba [09:28] Daughain: never heard of it, or never used it.. :) i just edit the smb.conf file [09:28] Dr_Willis: Some of us are newbies. =) [09:29] i shared a folder from Nautilus by going into the properies>share>create share but it's not showing up in /etc/samba/smb.conf. any idea why not? [09:29] Daughain: thats why you ar reading the books... [09:29] I don't know if I'm on Karmic or not... I updated within a couple months [09:29] infid: because the settings for that are not stored there. :) they are in /var/lib/samba I think [09:30] mud_bat: lsb_release -r [09:30] infid: they are in /var/lib/samba/usershares [09:30] Daughain: if you want a gui for samba use SWAT but the better way is vim + conf-file [09:30] I find using SWAT really messes me up. [09:30] ardchoille: 9.04 [09:31] !info shutter jaunty [09:31] Dr_Willis: thanks [09:31] OK, I'm a newb, and am trying to do this the way that makes the most sense for me to learn. [09:31] Package shutter does not exist in jaunty [09:31] Dr_Willis: as every gui but its a good way to start if someone doesnt like the conf-file [09:31] Dr_Willis: also, how come smbclient -L //myPC shows stuff but smbtree myPC doesn't? is there some firewall port i have to open [09:31] and reading these docs usualy confuses me. [09:31] mud_bat: you'll have to find a PPA for shutter [09:31] Daughain: the best way of learning is vim + conf-file [09:31] * Daughain is a mechanic, not progrtammer. [09:31] mud_bat: you can search for a PPA here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas [09:31] Karmic the latest release?

[09:32] Daughain: vim is a text-editor [09:32] config files dont require programming [09:32] mud_bat: That would be good, Karmic is pretty nice IMHO [09:32] they're name-value pairs, ie 'foo=bar' [09:32] Daughain: sorry, let me correct this, vim is THE editor for the cli [09:32] instead of clicking on 'foo' in a gui and selecting 'bar' [09:32] iceroot: seconded :) [09:32] is updating kernel or getting the latest version of distro the same [09:33] thanks for the help all [09:33] ardchoille: of course not :) [09:33] iceroot: meaning "Isecond that" [09:33] ardchoille: ah ok [09:33] iceroot: Let me correct myself. I have almost 1.5 months on linux, and minimal programming background. tuts and docs tend to confuse me, and I have no clue what a cli is. [09:34] bhargava: no and you may want to stick with the latest stable version of the distro you're using [09:34] emacs is a nice OS, hopefully someone will write a good text editor for it someday [09:34] howdy everyone [09:34] GUIs are really over rated. they only give the illusion of being easier because they put a buncha options in front of you to chose, vs writing something manually in a config file where you have to type the values and sometimes the names (which requires finding the list of names, just in docs rather than the current window) [09:34] oh [09:34] Daughain: cli = command line interface [09:34] Daughain: cli = command-line interface [09:34] Oops, iceroot beat me to it. [09:34] Hi guys, trying to setup ip masquerading on my unbuntu 9.10, but running into all sorts of iptables problems, probably the service isn't even running and chkconfig and service aren't even able to identify the service. [09:34] Any clue? [09:34] infid: ive noticed that also.. not sure whatsg going on. theres no default firewall ports blocked [09:34] RobLikesBrunch: :) [09:34] Dr_Willis: well if i disable ufw smbtree works again [09:34] Daughain: that is fine, but if you want to actually use your computer to its potential, the command line is your friend [09:34] * Daughain grins.. [09:34] See what I mean about being a newb? [09:35] meganerd: Best friend! <3 [09:35] infid: thats not 'bu default' :) so siounds like ya got somting blocked. [09:35] meganerd: I agree.....Gimme a few more months, and I will be doing even more thorugh it. [09:35] but what new features distro has are the ones in the kernel === wtuffaha is now known as waleed [09:35] Dr_Willis: but i'm currently opening 137, 138, 139 and 445 [09:35] is there a built in dictionary in ubuntu? [09:35] koshari, I like wikis too; I've run a few. But I don't see how to use one to track my system configuration. [09:35] Or if someone could tell me an easeir way to convert my ubuntu machine into a wifi hotspot :) [09:35] Daughain: I'm rather new to Linux myself--and at first the command-line was very confusing to me because I had been using a GUI for all my previous computing experience. [09:35] right now, I need to get my baqsic lan setup, then I can worry about the more interesting things. [09:35] can anyone reccomend to me a secure way to copy files from one ubuntu computer to another across a home network? I used to use ssh years ago (haven't used linux in a while this way) however I have heard ssh wasn't so secure? [09:35] tamran: scp [09:35] Daughain: you may wish to start with nano, I can't live without vim anymore, even on windows, but nano will behave in a fashion that you probably already expect [09:36] RobLikesBrunch: U cut my teeth on unix *many* years ago. [09:36] tamran: ssh is fine [09:36] tamran: you won't find something more secure [09:36] tamran: scp, lftp fish:// [09:36] tamran: ssh is the most secure thing you will find [09:36] rsync + ssh [09:36] Daughain: Ah :P [09:36] hey all, got a problem with /dev/null being mod600 upon reboot, so non 'root' users cant access it, how to perm change to 666 ? [09:36] thanks iceroot, rww_ and llutz [09:36] is there a built in dictionary in ubuntu? [09:36] cli doesnt bother or scare me, I just dont know enough to make it too useful as of yet. [09:36] Daughain: don't feel bad about being a noob. a noob in linux will probably advance at software faster than a windows noob, out of necessity of using the o/s. although ubuntu is getting really good at being thinkless [09:37] tamran: scp localfile user@server:/path/to/save/the/file [09:37] shuaib: there is no iptables service [09:37] Diverdude: There is. Office --> Dictionary. Or alt + f2 and type gnome-dictionary. [09:37] exit [09:37] meganerd, then how am I supposed to setup ip masquerading on ubuntu? Or do you mean I have to setup the iptables service first? [09:37] infid: I dont feel bad, I just need to keep explaining, because people keep talking above my head. =) STarted going bald about a month ago. =) [09:37] ok, one more question ... back in the good old gentoo days, I would set up ssh listening via /etc/init.d/ ... how do I go about enabling it in gentoo? ssh is not in that folder [09:38] tamran: #gentoo [09:38] i don't care how many decent guis are created for linux, i will never abandon the cli. it's just so much faster [09:38] shuaib: usually you create a script that sets up the rules [09:38] iceroot: I'm in ubuntu now [09:38] Right now, all I wanna know is what authentication mode to use to allow my lan to not require a pwd everytime it connects. [09:38] RobLikesBrunch, i see...and is it possible to put new languages into this dictionary? [09:38] why doesn't my microphone input volume persist? it keep going back to very low [09:38] meganerd, rules for what? If iptables doesn't even exist on the system? [09:38] infid: yup, there is a reason microsoft took the trouble of inventing powershell [09:38] tamran: correct but this is not gentoo support [09:38] Diverdude: Edit --> Preferences --> Source [09:38] oh ... [09:39] shuaib: it is built in to the kernel, so it is just there, waiting for you to do stuff [09:39] meganerd, any idea how to start the service? [09:39] The normal starting ain't working [09:39] shuaib: by default ubuntu has no listening services, so there are no rules defined [09:39] service iptables start not working [09:39] RobLikesBrunch, okay....And how do i find the correct dictionary then? [09:39] shuaib: it is not a service [09:39] Diverdude: And I believe that you can download sources directly from Synaptic. [09:39] iceroot: thanks again. However, I've not used gentoo for years. I'm trying to do it in ubuntu and it's all different [09:39] i just dont get how smbclient -L //hostname can work and smbtree hostname and findsmb hostname don't, even though my firewall is the same during all those commands [09:39] meganerd, aah, then...? [09:39] Diverdude: Let me check. [09:39] shuaib: there is nothing to start [09:40] meganerd, the tutorials I am reading on net describe it so [09:40] how to install printer : canon ip1980 [09:40] the commands and such I know [09:40] tamran: in ubuntu there is /etc/init.d/ssh [09:40] You mean it is different now? [09:40] oh ... [09:40] shuaib "sudo iptables -L" will tell you what rules are defined, there should not be any [09:40] I must not have installed the service [09:40] RobLikesBrunch, Forexample if i want a danish/english, English/Dansih dictionary [09:40] tamran: openssh-server [09:40] how to fix -> bash: /dev/null: Permission denied <- for non root users? [09:40] meganerd, yea, there aren't [09:40] tamran: sudo apt-get install openssh-server [09:40] llutz: ahhh, ok thanks [09:41] iceroot: installing. Thank you kindly :) [09:41] shuaib: just start defining things from the command line [09:41] Diverdude: Oh. Okay, one moment. [09:41] mRmiSta: what are you doing to get that error [09:41] I would put it all in a script [09:41] you may wish to look at the fwbuilder package to help you get started [09:41] There is no need for starting/restarting the service? How do I save those rules? [09:41] tamran: ubuntu does not come with ssh-server by default [09:41] RobLikesBrunch, Alright [09:41] some GUI front ends refer to it as a service, but this is not really accurate, it is just easier for windows people to grok [09:42] meganerd, Aha, There is no need for starting/restarting the service? How do I save those rules? [09:42] tamran yeah you gotta 'sudo apt-get install openssh-server' then 'sudo ufw allow 22/tcp' or whatever your firewall requires [09:42] meganerd, coz I did define some rules, and seems like system restart has flushed them out [09:42] gotta run, I can help you with firewall rules later if you are around, I do that for a living [09:42] /dev/null has access 600, so only root can access, i have non root accounts that need /dev/null access, eg eggdrop bot, but get permission denied. [09:42] has anyone here gotten a sec Slave drive - ATAPI incompatible error at boot and fixed it? [09:42] meganerd, aah, wish you could be here for a while [09:42] See you later mate [09:42] shuaib: yes, you need to put them in a script which is where they will be remmeberd [09:42] if i delete /dev/null and mknod etc, then it all works again. [09:43] meganerd, okie [09:43] but upon reboot, its back to 600. [09:43] mRmiSta: udev-bug? [09:43] i think so, yes. [09:43] as udev restart fails [09:43] mRmiSta: oh weird. not sure. my /dev/null is 0666, which allows non root users to use it [09:44] crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 Feb 16 2009 /dev/null [09:44] Diverdude: Sorry. You can add an English/Danish dictionary, but I'm trying to figure out how. I haven't done it before. [09:44] thats your default dev null permissions, congradulations [09:44] etc/init.d/udev restart = Kernel uevent sequence number not available, cowardly not restarting udev [09:44] i have a special keybord that is meant to let me control volume when I press the volume+ key, I see the little volume bar appear, except the volume doesn't actully change, any ideas? >.> [09:44] thats the error i get for udev === revenant_ is now known as Andria [09:45] RobLikesBrunch, i see...It seems to be quite advanced to do so [09:45] Darkedge: in the keyboard preferences in the system menu are you sure you have that set under 'volume up/down'? [09:45] god does anyone in here even BOTHER to google? [09:45] the problem is i don't even know how to trouble shoot this kind of problem [09:45] Darkedge: try google. [09:45] !google [09:45] While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [09:45] google and irc don't mix, kinda like google and china [09:45] i can't install my printer (canon ip1980) [09:45] llutz: crw------- 1 root root 1, 3 Jan 17 08:25 /dev/null, so no user accounts can access it, only root. [09:46] ardchoille: rather than showing me a crap line in some random crap bot lets do this. www.googleguide.com go read, learn and stfu [09:46] ive tried google/ubutu forums... nothing. [09:46] * tamran is copying files ... [09:46] mRmiSta: i showed u the permissions [09:46] what: people come here to get answers from others who might have lived through their problem already. they don't come here only to be sent to google [09:46] crw-rw-rw- [09:46] !stfu | what [09:46] what: Acronyms or statements like noob, jfgi, stfu, or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period. [09:46] there should be an irssi script that automatically runs google on any message containing a question mark [09:47] ardchoille: that is no excuse for not doing ANY reasearch [09:47] s/reasearch/research [09:47] Diverdude: I think I almost got it. One moment. [09:47] what: Calm down, not everyone is as research minded as you are. [09:47] RobLikesBrunch, ahh nice ok :) [09:47] ardchoille: then go install windows lol [09:47] asking on irc technically is research [09:47] what: if i delete /dev/null, and mknod it works, but upon reset/reboot, the permissions are back to 600 [09:47] if you wanna have a GOOD operating system you need GOOD habbits for it to run right [09:47] what: please be productive and respectful to others [09:47] otherwise youll end up disabling many things that would other wise protect, or not configure things that should be [09:48] kick him... i want to see blood :D [09:48] ardchoille: if your talking about yourself its not happening. [09:48] can't someone boot this guy? [09:48] pdg1: i've a half dozen clones it wont do anyhting lol [09:48] lol [09:48] mRmiSta: man pages are also good. from what i can tell in man mknod, you need to use '-m' or '--mode' to set the umask [09:48] don't ask me... i hate computers [09:49] ok gosh, let me SHOW you how to google. [09:49] s -l /dev/null [09:49] crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 2010-01-14 14:03 /dev/null [09:49] infid: what should it help if udev creates device with wrong permissions after reboot? [09:49] lmgtfy.com ? [09:49] hmm.. whats the c mean.. i forget... [09:49] Dr_Willis: character device [09:49] c denotes a character special file [09:50] oh yeah forgot about udev, there's probably somethign similar for udev [09:50] RobLikesBrunch, got it? [09:50] Diverdude: Can you check something for me? Go to Office -- Dictionary --> Preferences --> Source and see if you get an "Advanced" button. [09:51] RobLikesBrunch, no i only have Add, Remove, Help and Close there [09:52] llutz and infid, udev doesnt restart (no idea why) and /dev/null goes back to 600 upon reboot. not sure how to fix. [09:52] The notifications bubbles that popup in the upper right corner in KArmix. How can I theme those? [09:52] Diverdude: Me too, but on older versions there was an "Advanced settings" button that allowed you to select which dictionary you wanted...so I need to figure that out. [09:52] s/KArmix/Karmic/ [09:52] mRmiSta: no idea, but i guess if you fix udev, /dev/null will be ok too [09:53] RobLikesBrunch, i wonder if they moved that button to somewhere else [09:53] llutz, ive been trying. :/ no evail 'yet' [09:53] Diverdude: But if you install the dict pacakage (sudo apt-get install dict) and then type (dict -h dict.org --dbs | grep Danish) you'll see that there is an English-Danish dictionary. [09:53] Does anybody have good instructions on installing hamachi on ubuntu? [09:53] RobLikesBrunch, But isn't that what the addbutton does? [09:53] Diverdude: So I'm just trying to see how to install it :3 [09:53] Diverdude: Yes, but then it just adds a "generic" dictionary. One sec. I'll look into it. [09:54] so i googled the sec Slave drive - ATAPI incompatible error i got and all the solutions people had don't seem to be fixing the problem for me. I just installed a new SATA HDD... and have since removed it trying to fix the problem. does anyone have input? [09:54] i keep getting -> Can not write log, openpty() failed (/dev/pts not mounted?) error also upon apt-get :/ [09:55] although its mounted -> devpts 128M 4.0K 128M 1% /dev/pts [09:55] hi [09:56] testing colour [09:56] testing [09:56] Diverdude: It seems a lot of people don't have advanced settings. Let me search the forums :) [09:56] hi === mw3_ is now known as Guest18157 [09:56] RobLikesBrunch, that is really odd....why would they want to make the dictionary worse in a upgrade [09:57] so what's the problem people? [09:57] Diverdude: They may have implemented some other method for adding dictionaries...but even in the documentation they show an advanced button. [09:57] przemo_one, my CD drive just decided to stop working [09:57] RobLikesBrunch, very strange indeed [09:57] :P [09:57] that should do [09:58] pdg1 happens [09:58] but i had a spare... and that one's not even working [09:58] Diverdude: And the console commands don't work for it either anymore? [09:58] Diverdude: This is very odd. [09:58] so I'm SURE it's a setting I've got mussed up... but I can't figure out what i mussed up [09:59] RobLikesBrunch, did somebody mess it up i wonder [09:59] pdg1 what ware you doing? [10:00] after a week of not using my notebook it shows 'grub error:unknown file system' [10:00] Trying to change wlan0's mode to anything (ad-hoc, monitor) and it says device or resource busy, any idea please? [10:00] Diverdude: Perhaps post on the forums about it--maybe they know more. [10:01] przemo_one, trying to install a new sata HDD i got. all the google searches i've done on it seem to suggest that it has to do with adding new hardware and it trying to find an HDD to boot from [10:01] shuaib ifconfig wlan0 down [10:01] Diverdude: Be sure to specify it as "gnome-dictionary". There's another dictionary called "stardict" but it seems very cluttered and inferior to me. [10:01] RobLikesBrunch, but there must be a solution [10:01] Diverdude: Let me see if there's a newer version. [10:02] pdg1 but your CDROM is not working right? [10:02] przemo_one, i've removed the new hardware and there' still no HDD on there... and keeps giving me the same thing. [10:02] Hi, should I be avoiding using directories with spaces in linux? === L0ki_ is now known as L0ki [10:02] Copter: nope. They're sometimes inconvenient because you have to "quote them" or escape\ them on the command line, but other than that it's fine. [10:02] przemo_one, CDROM will open close, but comp wont boot from it and the ubuntu ive got on there don't see it either [10:02] pdg1 so can you boot to your ubuntu?? [10:02] hi i have installed kubuntu-destop on ubuntu gnome 9.10 then i removed the kubuntu desktop but all the applications and system tools still there how do remove them all ? thx [10:03] Copter: no, you can quote them or escape them if needed: "/path/file with space" or /path/file\ with\ spaces [10:03] boots to HDD no problem [10:03] !puregnome | coldfire [10:03] coldfire: If you want to remove all !KDE packages, type « sudo apt-get --purge remove kdelibs4c2a kdelibs5-data && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » into a !terminal [10:03] ardchoille: thanks [10:03] pdg1 give me a moment to think [10:03] yw [10:03] przemo_one, boots to HDD no problem [10:03] ok rww thanks [10:03] pdg1 please post /etc/fstab [10:04] i have grub loading problem 'error: unknown file system'. How to solve it? [10:04] The bios has an "optimal settings" option, I'm thinking i should try that aswell [10:04] not here :) [10:04] pdg1 do not mess with bios!

I'll try the good ol', change-it-and-change-it-back style of troubleshooting [10:42] malik__: use apt-get its faster and watch youtube videos on linux software... use ubuntu forums and do searches for software.... unless u like that packmanger [10:42] ???? [10:42] im trying to install ubuntu on a usb stick from a vmware vm image, ive tried to dd the whole disk on the stick, grub starts, it sees the partition, it seems to load the kernel but then when i ask grub to boot it hungs there... any clue?? [10:42] triplexxx: apt-get isn't significantly faster than Synaptic. [10:43] rww: of course it is, because apt dont have to load a gui at startup [10:43] yo [10:43] hey how do i register a name [10:43] It is not faster. Just easier.

[10:47] xukun: Your choices -- Obtain the package from the website. Compile/run it. or PPA. Maybe envy can do it too. [10:47] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2hmO42s-tc&feature=related [10:47] Threetimes: Are you using Unison to sync with Windows? [10:47] Nope, ubuntu desktop and ubuntu server [10:48] !ot | triplexxx [10:48] triplexxx: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [10:48] I dont want my own chatroom [10:48] hi, i just installed ubuntu 9.10 for the 3rd time now, and its not properly booting ... would somebody like to help me? [10:48] !grub2 [10:48] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [10:48] Threetimes: Use rsync or if you need GUI, use grsync or gtkrsync. I used Unison few times long time and I recall it disconnecting occasionally. [10:49] thanks! I'll look into g(tk)rsync [10:51] Hello. I've been trying to install a fake/"meta" package to make apt think it has texlive installed because I installed my own version, but it seems to think it [10:51] is still not installed. [10:52] ? [10:53] I installed TeXLive from outside sources. Therefore, I want Ubuntu to think I installed from the repository. [10:53] Why? [10:53] ohhh [10:53] wait [10:53] I dont know how to do that but I see why. [10:53] Quadrescence: Use checkinstall when you compile. [10:54] Quadrescence: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall [10:54] kinja-sheep: It's a little more complicated than that. [10:54] It doesn't use "make install". [10:54] Quadrescence: How do you install it? [10:56] Quadrescence: was this made in some programming class like c or c++ needing library dependiencies ...???? [10:56] kinja-sheep: First you download a script or whatever called TeXLive installer, and this installed a program called 'tlmgr', and in tlmgr, you install latex and all of the packages. It's sort of a repository of its own, which is why I presume Ubuntu hasn't upgraded from TeXLive 2007 to 2009 [10:56] The entire install is around 2GB of LaTeX packages + the base LaTeX install. [10:57] Quadrescence: you want a blacklisted program to run???? [10:58] triplexxx: ...blacklisted? [10:58] triplexxx: It's not blacklisted. It's just a difficult thing to "officially" integrate into the Ubuntu repos. Fedora has the same problem. [10:58] Quadrescence: I'm thinking you want to find latex channel where they have more experiences with latex-related and OS. [10:59] Quadrescence: And you're already there. Hmm,. [10:59] When in nautilus, what is the shortcut to focus on the address bar? The one that corresponds to ALT+D in windows? [10:59] Diverdude: CTRL + L [10:59] kinja-sheep: This isn't a LaTeX problem, this is a repository problem. [10:59] Diverdude: / (too) [11:00] I have a problem with network-manager, it doesn't connect to openvpn servers: Jan 17 11:53:00 stranger NetworkManager: nm_vpn_connection_connect_cb(): VPN connection 'innocence-len' failed to connect: 'No VPN secrets!'. connecting from command line ($ sudo openvpn VPN.conf) works just fine [11:00] anybody? [11:00] kinja-sheep: All I want to do is make Ubuntu think it has the LaTeX packages installed, so I can install other applications that depend on LaTeX without having to install 2007 [11:01] Quadrescence: You could use `equivs' to make a fake package, perhaps. [11:01] Quadrescence: I get it but I don't know the answer to that. [11:01] Quadrescence: I'm not sure on the details, though. [11:02] rww: Yes, that seemed like the best solution. And I was either doing it wrong (likely), or it didn't work. :< [11:02] Quadrescence: well I found your solution [11:02] be right back [11:04] TeX4ht can handle the features of TeX-based systems [11:04] in general, and of LaTeX in particular. [11:04] TeX4ht can be used both for authoring HTML using TeX/LaTeX input files, or [11:04] for converting existing TeX input files (in any format) into HTML, with [11:04] (usually) only minor modifications. Other varieties of hypertext can also be [11:04] produced, including XML, XHTML, MathML and the Openoffice.org format of XML.

It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [11:15] ajhavery: XChat, irssi, weechat, gnome-chat, chatzilla, pidgin. [11:15] which one do u prefer? === chaky_ is now known as chaky [11:15] ajhavery: If you're new to IRC, use xchat. It have GUI which makes things easy when it comes down to configuration.

[11:20] I have noticed that in default settings, for example apt and grub. The filenames start with a number, like 05debiantheme, or 01proxy. Why is this? [11:21] ksbalaji: Use mozilla-daily-ppa [11:22] ksbalaji: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ [11:22] carlos [11:22] kinja-sheep, thanks. Is it an application installer? I have ff 3.0.7 something installed now. [11:23] kinja-sheep: can rsync only sync in one direction? [11:23] ksbalaji: It works by adding ubuntu-mozilla-daily server to your array of repository servers. It'll show up in the database when you use apt-get, aptitude, or sypaetic(sp). Find firefox-3.7 and install it.

What happens if a file is changed on both locations? [11:27] anyone know how i can do that? [11:27] Threetimes: If you need to sync small things, you can use DropBox or Ubuntu-One (both ups to 2GB). I'll try and find the best way to sync both folders, but usually I know you do this by pointing to folders.

[11:54] and I think the answer to ubuntu can be applied to debian at all [11:54] justin_: Well with that card you will either need to install fglrx or upgrade your kernel to at least 2.6.32 and use the open radeon driver [11:54] soreau: What do I need for openGL, mesa or something ? [11:54] x[x]: I wanted to dual boot by placing an entry into menu.lst, found that no such file exists in grub2, its all different [11:54] Daugha|n, understand, and your option is appreciated :-) I was just hoping there may be something to reconfigure which might be less work :-) [11:54] jiohdi thats not my error though [11:54] soreau: I have already make through the driver [11:55] my error is when i did distro upgrade in terminal and rebooted ... the grubloader when missing .. it just boots straight into memtest [11:55] hipitihop: I coudnt tell you. It seems everyone who uses the upgrade option runs into a different problem. [11:55] im wondering should i just boot off the LIVE CD and see what happens from there [11:55] x[x]: from memtest, where can you go? [11:55] soreau: And I have ever set it up using official dirver give by amd [11:55] given [11:55] from memtest it does a memtest [11:55] justin_: To use the open driver you will need at least 2.6.32 kernel, and latest libdrm, mesa and xf86-video-ati [11:55] which is CURRENTLY doing [11:55] Daugha|n, is there a way to see the boot process to see perhaps at what stage it pauses and waits to maybe get a hint at the problem ? [11:56] justin_: also to use the open driver, you cannot have fglrx installed in any way (fglrx is the proprietary driver from amd) [11:56] soreau: Well, what I really wann't to know is what pakage I need to support OpenGL runtime [11:56] x[x]: when it ends it just dumps you out to a terminal? [11:56] i dont know [11:56] justin_: Pastebin your X log [11:56] it hasnt ended yet [11:56] its doing it at the moment [11:56] ah [11:56] Hello. Try #2 and still trying to get sound working. Fresh install of 9.10 x64 and Audigy 2 zs. lspci does now show anything in regards to a driver being installed. I was under the impression that it came preloaded within the kernel.

Then there was an [11:56] update that killed it. I since switched back to windows, and now I wanted to give it another try and it's still not working. Any help is appreciated.

[12:07] sdgf, ntfs can be mounted by a linux distro, though its support is not perfect as ntfs is not free [12:07] what: That did not help me unfortunately. Thanks for your help though. I had to download gnome-alsamixer, but it keeps crashing on me once i hit ->Edit->Soundcard properties [12:07] cuz [12:07] command [12:07] soreau: but I cann't find the right driver when using 1.7.4 [12:07] or package [12:08] i believe scandisk sucks [12:08] Hello there. I have a windows 2003 server, and willing to install ubuntu desktop on a second partition. since i have very little experience with it, i thought to install it though the Windows installer, and then reboot to ubuntu, and connect though remote desktop [12:08] is that possible? [12:08] justin_: For fglrx, my guess is that 1.7.4 is too new [12:08] sdgf, first its a good idea to use the nick of the person you are speaking with...type the first 3 letter of their nick and hit tab to complete..also its a good idea to post your message in a single line instead of two or three line entries [12:09] hipitihop: Wow..... [12:09] justin_: You need a happy medium like 1.6.x [12:09] soreau: u r right [12:09] Daugha|n, any idea what it is complaining about, looks usb related [12:09] soreau: but I don't know how to install a specific version [12:09] KamaL: If you're talking about Wubi, it is another way of dual-boot by placing the files on C:\ partition instead of partitioning the HDD to make a new partition. [12:09] jiohdi [12:10] KamaL: in my experience... the wubi.exe worked fine to install ubuntu but it did it in a way that made it crash when updates came later. [12:10] im gonna fix Grub via the live CD [12:10] Daugha|n, is syslog cleared each boot ? [12:10] cheers dude [12:10] x[x]: cheers [12:10] justin_: Alternatively you can scrap fglrx and run all very latest components (namely your kernel, libdrm, mesa, xf86-video-ati and X) to get 3D working [12:10] hipitihop: No, more than just usb...Its also having sensor errors...Almost looks like it hasnt completely shutdown........ [12:11] hipitihop: I dunno.....Like I said, I was using it for something entirely different. [12:11] kinja-sheep and jiohdi: well, since I don't have remote access like KVM right now, I can't do it the traditional way. So I though I'd do it through the windows installer, but the questions is: will i be able to connect through remote desktop???? [12:11] hipitihop: Gimme a bit more to look through the whole thing. [12:11] justin_: and yet another alternative is to actually use a ubuntu distro so you arent stuck in debians no mans land [12:12] Daugha|n, I have you from line one and afaict it is the same all the way through [12:12] soreau: I hope I hadn't upgrade xorg... [12:12] Daugha|n, should I delete the log and reboot and see what we get ? [12:13] justin_: According to that X log you posted, you are still using 1.4.2 [12:13] I see that 2 [12:13] KamaL: I suppose you can. You'll be running Ubuntu natively on non-linux filesystem. Remote Desktop is meh-meh. Use ssh. It makes things nice. [12:13] So is there a way to install, say , 1.7.3 [12:13] soreau: that used to work for me [12:13] i have no idea how to use ssh :/ I need an easy to use GUI [12:14] . [12:14] hi [12:14] i cant update or install anyting, getting this error http://files.uploadffs.com/c/6/3a16664a/Screenshot.png [12:14] KamaL: Props to you for using Server 2K3. It's better than Vista. I used to use Server 2K3 (Converted to Workstation). === Elvorn_ is now known as Elvorn [12:14] justin_: If you want to use fglrx I would try 1.6.x but however to install a specific version of X is beyond the scope of this channel especially because it justworks on ubuntu and you are using debian [12:14] How can i make my camera and microphone work on ubuntu 9.10 (i'm in a Compaq MINI 110, and the camera and microphone are inlayed in the screen [12:14] KamaL: And XP too (except games). If you're new, that's fine. Remote desktop it is. :) [12:14] kamal, so use menut "Places...connect to server" and then hose SSH [12:14] hipitihop: WHat is this a laptop? [12:15] DeLiK, is this laptop? [12:15] Question: Does netflix streaming work on Ubuntu? [12:15] KamaL: What is it that you're trying to accomplish? [12:15] yes [12:15] Daugha|n, Aces Aspire 5630 [12:15] Does freenode accept gmail for registration? [12:15] Daugha|n, grr ... Acer [12:15] Qompaq mini 110 [12:15] justin_: But if you have up/downgraded X and that brike it, try simply reinstalling fglrx if you havent tried that already [12:15] That a laptop? [12:15] Ray304: #freenode [12:15] DeLiK, well for the mike you might want to go to #also channel for.... for the cam well ..did you test it with an application like camorama? [12:15] I don't have physical access to the server. I wanna be able to install ubuntu desktop and connect through remote remote desktop WITHOUT the need of physicall access [12:15] hipitihop: Is that a laptop? [12:16] soreau: well, thx anyway, I'll try to upgrade all stuffs to the highest version [12:16] soreau: Hope that works [12:16] no, i'll do it. [12:16] KamaL: SSH? [12:16] KamaL: I see. I am not sure if Remote Desktop is enabled by default. [12:16] i couldn't talk in #freenode [12:16] i was asked to register but couldn't [12:16] kinja-sheep: it's not [12:16] Question Again: Does Netflix Online Movie Streaming work on Ubuntu? [12:16] Daugha|n, to be precise, Acer-Aspire 5634WLMi [12:16] justin_: Im telling if you do, you need to ditch fglrx and go for the open driver. More help for the open driver than any other and in #radeon [12:17] kinja-sheep: I see. I'll install it and ask the guys in the DC to enable remote desktop [12:17] hipitihop: OK, I dont have all computer models memorized, I just need to know if it is a laptop or not. [12:17] justin_: fglrx simply will not work with latest components X and kernel [12:17] KamaL: you could make a remix of it, maybe? [12:17] a remix of the Ubuntu CD with remote desktop enabled by default [12:17] Ubee: I don't know. All I know is that Netflix uses MS-Silverlight with silly DRM features. If you have the account, you can try. [12:17] Daugha|n, yes, a laptop, dual core T5600 and has NVidia GeForce Go 7300 [12:18] coz_: camorama says "could not connect to viedo device (/dev/video0) PLease check connection [12:18] soreau: then what kind of open driver will fit? [12:18] DeLiK, ok let me see if there is a link to supported cameras hold on [12:18] justin_: radeon. You want to use radeon [12:18] hipitihop: I'm just trying to figure out what usb devices are native hardware. =) [12:19] DeLiK, check here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [12:19] hipitihop: Do you have any external usb devices plugged in? [12:19] soreau: not familiar with that [12:19] Question: Does Blockbuster's Online Moviestream work on Ubuntu? [12:19] Ubee: netflix sight says XP and mac OSX only [12:20] site* [12:20] hey, any way to get Times New Roman installed? i don't seem to have it [12:21] Daugha|n, yes, it has 4 x usb ports, two on side two on back and yes have things plugged in but only significant one is a bluetooth dongle driving wireless keyboard & mouse [12:21] justin_: It is simple. Completely remove fglrx from the system. Upgrade to all latest components of kernel (at least 2.6.32), libdrm, mesa, xf86-video-ati and X then move or delete xorg.conf and it will automatically pick the radeon driver [12:21] Ubee: http://www.dwasifar.com/?p=531 [12:22] Daugha|n, others 2 have 1 x bluetooth headset charger cable but nothing plugged into cable and the other is powering fan on laptop pad [12:22] soreau: is my diver radeon based? ATI Technologies Inc RV730 [FirePro V5700] ATI Technologies Inc RV730 [FirePro V5700] [12:22] Ubee: Maybe. Maybe not because there are no native Silverlight, I think. There are clones (probably with missing API for DRM stuffs). [12:22] my card [12:22] justin_: Yea, it is an rv730 [12:23] justin_: The radeon driver will work with it with latest components that I mentioned [12:23] hipitihop: Ok, unplug al the external usb devices for now, then try a reboot and see what happens. =) I;m half expecting the cooler to be the issue. [12:23] justin_: Much easier to get working than fglrx and much more support for the radeon driver [12:23] Daugha|n, interestinng ok, standby [12:23] coz_: how do i find out the make of my camera lol (all i can see is the lens pointing me lol) [12:23] soreau: Ok, thx a lot, I'll try that [12:24] hello [12:24] I want to watch streamed movies online where should I go that has a large selection . [12:24] soreau: Another question, after installing 2.6.32, I found it cann't boot successfully, do u know why? [12:24] DeLiK, in all honesty I rarely deal with webcam issues be let me check [12:24] were anyone in here able to register with Gmail? [12:25] justin_: What happens when you try to boot it?

[12:35] Ubee: you can run firefox from wine and many sites think it is from XP [12:35] hipitihop: Is it running? [12:35] but better is to make drive in ext3-ext4 and specify mount point like /downloads / files /***** so i do not have to mount the drive =} [12:35] Daugha|n, and it seems the log keeps growing, already at .5mb [12:35] berserk_ren, i just check ntfs fom linux [12:35] hipitihop: OK, so, it wont finish booting?

See if the webcam and touchpad work. [12:36] Ubuntu is saying that I can only perform a partial upgrade - this is causing the 'Updates are available' icon to be on my system tray permanently.

[12:40] boss_mc, I'm a complete novice. So you're going to have to break things down a little more for me, if you could. [12:40] boss_mc, I could PM your the output of the command you told me to perform. [12:40] jiohdi [12:40] im stuck :( [12:40] hipitihop: That may be the prob right there. Firmware or driver issues.

[13:10] Cool, good luck, hipitihop [13:10] gatty, "2.6.31-17-generic #54-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 10 17:01:44 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux" [13:10] CA0110-IBG [13:10] Like, i have never had an issue like you [13:10] hipitihop: seems to be from 2.6.27 onwards in mainline from what I can tell, so you should have it === Omega is now known as LeonhardEuler [13:11] justin_: Hi [13:11] hipitihop: see if 'dmesg |grep -i vc032x' shows anything enlightening [13:11] Like, first go to system>admin>hardware driver> to see if there is a proper driver for your sound card [13:11] yea h is [13:11] JakobSteinn: I dont know what is going on there.. maybe you can check your terminal profile?

[13:12] JakobSteinn: Maybe the text color is the same as the background [13:12] soreau: Hi, do I have to download xf86-video and compile it myself? [13:12] justin_: Not if you can find packages for your distro.. [13:12] hipitihop: ah... so it doesn't know what the camera chip in your webcam is, but it does know it's there. [13:13] hi... I have installed apache2 and it worked fine.. I rebooted the computer and now when i enter localhost into the browser i get and error that it could not connect to server [13:13] i can ping localhost and the interfaces should be ok, as well i have started apache and i can see the apache pid [13:13] any tips why that could be? [13:13] vargadanis: there was a fix for that,lemme find it.. [13:13] !lamp [13:13] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [13:14] jrib, there is something on the site you gave me,but it did not solve my problem, i just want to uninstall an official ati driver [13:14] hipitihop: all I can suggest is you grab the latest video4linux tree from their mercurial repo and try that - still no guarantee it'll work though. [13:14] justin_: Of course debian calls it something different than upstream like xorg-video-driver-ati or something.. but you need a very recent version and also your kernel, libdrm, mesa and X are equally as important [13:14] soreau: I'm afraid it's not in my sourcelist.. [13:14] hipitihop: if you want help with that just shout. [13:14] ouyes: you have to read the documentation provided by ati then. Usually there are some switches you can pass to the .run. Try passing --help as well to see if there is any info there [13:14] soreau: I'm wondering if there's a specification or something [13:15] soreau: 'cause I did't find anything else on the site [13:15] vargadanis: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP#Troubleshooting%20Apache [13:15] justin_: If you want to just build everything by hand it might be better.. look at the link in the topic of #radeon [13:16] ardchoille, that is not it... apache seems to be running but i can't connect to it... is there a firewall in ubunutu/kubuntu by default that is installed [13:16] ? [13:16] jrib, there is an instruction file to instruct installation but no uninstalling [13:16] soreau: no I wish so but my friend and I also ssh to this computer and we even could not write anything from there.. well yes we can write something but it has no effect.. [13:16] soreau: ok, but would you like to check the source of xf86-video for me. [13:16] vargadanis: how are you trying to connect to it? [13:16] soreau: debian is using the same thing actually [13:17] ardchoille, in FX: http://localhost :) [13:17] <[NL]Tjibba> how do i replace /var/lib/dpkg/available with /var/lib/dpkg/available.old [13:17] vargadanis: That fix worked for me in the same situation you're in. Have you tried that fix? [13:17] ardchoille, or do you know a way to confirm that apache runs? [13:17] JakobSteinn: Sounds like you broke your ubuntu ;) [13:17] [NL]Tjibba, sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/available.old /var/lib/dpkg/available [13:17] ouyes: what is the link to the instruction file you are reading? http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/linux_8.24.8.html suggests uninstallation instructions for that version at least [13:18] omg!!!! :'( [13:18] <[NL]Tjibba> ty [13:18] ardchoille, alright, i'll try that thank you [13:18] vargadanis: also try http://127.0.0.1/ in case apache hasn't bound to IPv6 version of localhost - FFX prefers IPv6 addresses by default. [13:18] gatty, okie [13:18] justin_: If you are serious about getting the open driver working, read the wiki link found in the #radeon topic and ask any questions you have about it in that channel [13:18] gatty, nope that didn't help [13:19] vargadanis: ok, go with ardchoille's suggestion :) [13:19] gatty, okie :) [13:20] gatty, sorry got called away...back now... I'm happy to wait for things to catch up, is there some way to simply disable it for now ? [13:20] soreau; i am scrued! haha. Do you have any suggestions on what i can do? [13:20] jrib, ah man thank you [13:20] hipitihop: is it causing you a problem? USB resets or something? [13:21] gatty, don't really use/depend on the webcam, but the problem is causing massive logs and very slow boot/login so if I can disable it then we can ignore it for now [13:21] JakobSteinn: Well the first thing to fixing it is identifying the problem. Unfortunately I have no idea how you broke it [13:21] gatty, e.g. syslog 95mg [13:21] my workspace applet is ignoring changes in preferences to increase the number of workspaces, ideas? [13:21] gatty, e.g. "I2c Bus Busy Wait 2c" lines and lines and lines of it === DaZ_ is now known as DaZ [13:22] hipitihop: add 'gspca_vc032x' to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-custom [13:22] assuming blacklisting modules still works that way on your ubuntu release - I still use 8.04 LTS as I mainly run servers :) [13:22] gatty, but I suspect there is no driver being loaded ... see last device http://paste.ubuntu.com/358028/ === erUSUL_ is now known as erUSUL [13:23] jrib, there is no /usr/share/fglrx directory [13:23] ouyes: well I linked you to some random release notes. You need to read the release notes for *your* version [13:23] soreau: Yea... well I installed the desktop manager 'awesome' and then afterwards my terminal went like "ka-booom" [13:23] hipitihop: it is loading - that's what the dmesg output is... but it's failing to determine what type of camera sensor is attached to the USB video bridge... the vc032x driver talks to the bridge, then tries to detect the camera sensor IC and can't, hence the I2C errors. [13:24] ardchoille, I have tried that thing and then i tried to restart apache and apache2ctl told me that there is no running pid.. tried to start it and then stop it and i got the same message [13:24] ardchoille, any tips why apache2 might fail to start? [13:24] jrib, you are right, i am in a quite hurry, [13:24] gatty, ok, blacklist-custom doe snot exist, is that what you expect ? i.e I should create new one ? [13:24] vargadanis: apache's error log should tell you. [13:24] jrib, i find it [13:24] vargadanis: Try: sudo /usr/sbin/apache2ctl restart [13:25] hipitihop: let me check on a 9.x box I have at work, give me a couple of mins. [13:25] gatty, I do have empty blacklist though [13:25] JakobSteinn: MAybe you can try creating a new users [13:25] yea maybe.. [13:25] gatty, error.log file shows no entried for the past few mins when i tried === kwtm is now known as kwtm_ [13:26] ardchoille, tried it... sais apache2 not running, trying to start... no result :S apache still won't start [13:26] gatty, do you think that syslog might tell me something? Or some other logfile? [13:26] gatty, ignore that. do have a blacklist.conf [13:26] vargadanis: How did you install apache? [13:26] JakobSteinn: If another user is ok this points to a bad setting in your home folder [13:26] hipitihop: add it to blacklist.conf [13:27] hipitihop: without the quotes, obviously :) [13:27] hi I have a problem with wi-fi disconnection. Someone told me it was an antheros driver problem so I need to add a patch or something. How can I do it? any idea? [13:27] hi [13:27] ardchoille, out of the repos [13:27] How can I hid a text to replace by a picture?

[13:27] gatty, :-) other line also say "blacklist xxx" [13:27] vargadanis: Ah, ok.. well I've never seen taht problem [13:27] soreau: how do I create another user without my term? [13:28] I have: Edit and I want to hide the "Edit" text and place my own picture with background:url...? thanks [13:28] ardchoille, it seems that it's got some problem with libphp5, right? [13:28] JakobSteinn: I think there is user handling in sys>admin [13:28] RS-232: wrong channel? [13:28] hipitihop: so add a line saying "blacklist gspca_vc032x" [13:28] vargadanis: That's what it looks like to me [13:28] oopss, I though I was in #css sorry [13:28] soreau: I am kind of handicaped you see? without my term and all.. [13:29] ardchoille, ohh shoot... ok :) well it's gonna be a long hour :) [13:29] gatty, ok done, rebooting to test [13:29] JakobSteinn: Obviously but I think the gui method is in sys>admin>users and groups [13:29] i just installed kubuntu on an hp laptop and it's mostly working, except the KDE menus and window title bars are all crunched, i'm not sure what to search for to fix. [13:30] the main desktop is fine [13:30] and once windows are open, their contents are fine [13:30] but the title bars are unreadable [13:30] vargadanis: you can try asking in #ubuntu-server [13:30] JakobSteinn: There, you would click Unlock then Add User [13:31] JakobSteinn: Then, log out and log back in as the new user [13:31] ardchoille, good tip :) [13:31] gatty, legend... many thanks. [13:31] Test [13:31] Oke [13:31] hipitihop: you're welcome, hopefully a future kernel package will contain the driver you need :) [13:32] hi I have a problem with wi-fi disconnection. Someone told me it was an antheros driver problem so I need to add a patch or something. How can I do it? any idea? [13:32] soreau: great! I will try that now (; thanks mate ! maybe I will be back! .. hopefully not. maybe with another problem sometime (: [13:32] gatty, indeed. thanks [13:32] soreau: you just mention xorg.conf can be generated automatically, then how ? [13:33] justin_: No, I said you dont need an xorg.conf. Without one, X will automatically choose the radeon driver [13:33] hello wordl!!!! [13:33] Daugha|n, gatty helped disable it for now so all sorted and reinstall not needed.... thanks for nudging me in the right direction. boot all normal now [13:34] soreau: I have compiled one and have had it installed .

Someone should diagnos the problem [14:27] with SDL libraries. let me know if anyone of u have some sort of solution or workaround. Is there any other way to get all these games working? (e.g. reinstalling game or something like that???)

[14:51] diddy: so it should be "grep -e -v '^( |pattern)' inputfile >outputfile". Yes, you are right. "egrep" is the old way of saying "grep -e".

[15:11] llutz it wont work [15:11] beaves: sorry, no idea [15:11] thanksg0d: also try apt-get clean, apt-get check [15:11] ido_: Personally, I don't have this problem but I create a NTFS partition alongside with the ext3 partition. If you can't mount your windows partition then that means probably the partition isn't mounted. [15:12] llutz thank you for trying to help === Talon is now known as Talon^ [15:12] LinuX2half, I can mount other ntfs partitions on the very same hd, I'm really clueless... === Talon^ is now known as Talon_ [15:14] is there a way to completely remove all prompts for my password for EVERYTHING? I understand the issues concerning doing this, but this is MY computer, only MY login, I fail to see why i need to retype my password to look at a different drive, or start the package manager, etc... this is very annoying.

[15:15] Talon_: because _your computer_ is connected to the internet and security breaks will harm other [15:15] Talon_: put the device mount to the fstab and use umask [15:15] ido_: it's pretty simple since it had screenshots [15:16] those were examples.. I know how to edit my fstab [15:16] LinuX2half, those steps do not work... [15:16] !ntfs | ido_ this does work [15:16] ido_ this does work: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [15:17] k [15:17] Talon_: and the issue that every program has root rights does not frighten you === root is now known as Guest32154 [15:17] can i install two programs together in ubuntu [15:18] is there a way i can use wget to output to the terminal? [15:18] ido_: so I assume that you had try them before..? [15:18] jami, no. I do frequent drive images of both my bootable partitions so if something gets screwed by my doing, or some program i chose to install, my system can be back to the way it was within 10 minutes [15:18] If I connect a USB - serial adapter. Which would be the address to get to the serial port? [15:19] ja660k: wget -O - ... [15:19] would it be /dev/ttyS0 or /dev/ttyUSB0?

On reboot, the OS produces an error saying "Fatal error: No screens detected" and doesn't load the GUI. Can anybody help? [15:21] Talon_: you can do autologin, do you have that? Also, you can have a blank keyring password [15:21] jami: look into sudoers.. in a terminal type man sudoers [15:21] aksx: i don't think you can [15:21] natrixnatrix89: if it works, i think it should be something like /dev/ttyUSB0 [15:21] Talon_: because _your computer_ is connected to the internet and security breaks will harm others. welcome to the world of botnets/spam etc [15:22] LjL: What do you mean - if it works? [15:22] CShadowRun: is there any way of doing it tried running one installation via apt-get and other via aptitude didnt work [15:22] natrixnatrix89: well, i mean the adapter might not be recognized... but hopefully it will [15:22] (15:21:07) CShadowRun: aksx: i don't think you can [15:23] I have just upgraded from Hardy to Intrepid. On reboot, the OS produces an error saying "Fatal error: No screens detected" and doesn't load the GUI. Can anybody help? [15:23] aksx: no, you can't, why do you want to anyway? Maybe there is another option [15:23] Talon_: see the /etc/sudoers file. There are options to use sudo w/out need for entering password [15:23] is it or is it not possible. [15:24] how can i reinstall a virtual package? [15:24] SealedWithAKiss: im just guessing, but upgrading to intrepid is probably not the best idea. You should either run Hardy8.04 or Karmic9.10 [15:24] Why when I was auto removing my deleted packages, there's an line that said 'import site' failed; use -v for traceback [15:24] * Xaero is away: autoaway [l(on) p(on)] [15:24] hello people [15:24] LjL: dmesg says: http://paste.ubuntu.com/358077/ [15:24] Why when I was auto removing my deleted packages, there's an line that said 'import site' failed; use -v for traceback [15:24] !away > Xaero (Xaero, see the private message from ubottu) [15:24] Talon_: in a terminal type man sudoers ..this is what you need to edit. [15:24] ChogyDan, I had to upgrade to Intrepid to get to Karmic. [15:24] Talon_: yes, see /etc/sudoers [15:24] Talon_: its possible but since you are on the internet its a stupid idea [15:24] natrixnatrix89: then it should definitely be recognized at /dev/ttyUSB0 [15:24] SealedWithAKiss: can you upgrade again? [15:25] So I can tell other software that they can find the serial device in /dev/ttyUSB0? [15:25] ChogyDan, the whole point was to go from Hardy to Intrepid to Jaunty to Karmic. [15:25] Why when I was auto removing my deleted packages, there's an line that said 'import site' failed; use -v for traceback [15:25] i have modified my sudoers already, works great for terminal use of sudo.. everything else still asks for my password [15:25] natrixnatrix89: yes. [15:26] so since its possible, how do I do it... I understand the risks, but I still want to do it. it should be my choice [15:26] Talon_: add gksudo and run graphical applications from terminal with gksudo .. no password required. [15:26] LjL: The problem Is I have connected a weather station to that port. But when I run wview and tell it to use this address, the daemons start, but it says its still starting [15:27] and I cant get it to work.. Like it would be waiting for some packets ir sth :S [15:27] SealedWithAKiss, can you boot into the terminal? === david is now known as Guest87837 [15:27] isolat3dsh33p, I have access to the terminal. [15:27] natrixnatrix89: it might be waiting for some flow control signal that never gets activated. have a look at the flow control options. you should probably also try debugging using the package "minicom" (a simple terminal emulator) [15:28] SealedWithAKiss, maybe you can upgrade using the terminal. I'm not really sure though. [15:28] SealedWithAKiss: to upgrade from the terminal: sudo apt-get install update-manager-core and then sudo do-release-upgrade [15:28] LjL: what is flow control, and what exactly do I have to try? Sorry i'm such a newbie.. I just really want to set up the weather station.. [15:29] Talon_: add your user to group "sudo", and uncomment line starting "# %sudo ALL=NOPASSWD" in /etc/sudoers [15:29] ChogyDan, why would I want to perform another upgrade when the last upgrade I performed has caused problems? [15:29] Talon_: be sure to use "visudo" command to edit /etc/sudoers file [15:29] ChogyDan, will upgrading to Jaunty solve the problems from the previous upgrade? [15:30] i've already done that [15:30] SealedWithAKiss: good point, but the video stuff has had trouble in past releases. There might be fixes later on. It's up to you [15:30] natrixnatrix89, it might end up being a bit complicated. serial ports (the RS232 interface) have a pin or two that are used to say "yes, i'm here, i'm a serial device, and i'm ready to send/receive". those are called RTS/CTS (ready to send / clear to send). alternatively, another method of flow control is called XON/XOFF, and doesn't use any additional pins [15:30] natrixnatrix89: it's possible, for example, that your program expects RTS/CTS signals, but those aren't carried by the adapter. [15:30] LjL: I just installed minicom. What can I do with it? [15:30] natrixnatrix89: how you would tell your software to ignore them... i don't know that. [15:30] ChogyDan, it can't make things any worse can it? As long as my data isn't screwed, I don't mind. Maybe my card is supported in a later distro. [15:30] natrixnatrix89: you can try to see the raw output that's coming from the serial port, if any. [15:31] any time in terminal i can now use sudo without it asking for my password, but using the places from the ubunu menu and clicking on a drive it still asks, and so does like package manager.. [15:31] SealedWithAKiss, what's you card anyway? [15:31] SealedWithAKiss: well, you may just want to backup your /home, and then just install karmic [15:31] ChogyDan, so by running those two commands from the terminal the kernel will upgrade? [15:31] Is there a way to perform an integer search on all files in a directory, at the binary level, for a given value? [15:31] isolat3dsh33p, ATI Radeon 4670 HD. [15:31] well n/m package manager doesnt ask me anymore [15:31] SealedWithAKiss: no, the whole system [15:31] I want to install jbidwatcher on my ubuntu box. I can't find anything with synaptic or apt-cache search. What is the best way to install jbidwatcher? [15:31] LjL: how do I change the port on minicom? [15:31] any drive request from the places menu still asks for a password tho === Guest87837 is now known as dlublink [15:32] ChogyDan, I don't have anything to back up to. An iPod? A DVD-R? [15:32] * Talon_ sighs [15:33] heck with it, im just going to enable root and login as root. that ought to do it I'd hope. [15:33] martianlobster: uhm, it was there in previous versions of ubuntu (like hardy). i don't know why it has been removed, but you could try installing it from http://packages.ubuntu.com and selecting the newest version that still has it. of course, though, it might not install correctly. [15:33] ChogyDan, that would also mean copying home to the removable media via the command line. Pretty tough stuff for a beginner like me. [15:33] rocklobster [15:33] LjL ok thanks === Ubuntuser is now known as Netbookremix [15:33] natrixnatrix89, i don't really remember these details [15:34] hi guys, could anyone help me how to stop oo from autocompleting my numbers to dates? [15:34] LjL: Ok. then how do I see what information is it sending? [15:34] Any KDE users in here ? [15:34] dlublink, try #kubuntu [15:34] thanks [15:35] martianlobster: on their site, they have a jar file for linux, so you could just download that and install java, then java -jar file.jar (and create a link for that) [15:35] that will work right? and achieve what I want if I login as root? [15:35] Netbookremix: http://nowacki.org/blog/2004/05/disable_autocomplete_in_openoffice.html [15:35] thanks [15:35] Any Gnome users here who have used KDE but prefer Gnome? If so, why do you prefer Gnome ? [15:35] SaintSapp: you can use grep... but what do you mean by "integer"? you can give grep a hex value, i suppose [15:35] Talon_: that option is not supported in this channel. [15:36] !ot | dlublink [15:36] dlublink: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [15:36] obviously.. but i didnt ask if you supported it, i asked if it would work [15:36] :P [15:36] SealedWithAKiss: yeah, I don't know. I run with a separate partition for /home, which works for me. You should be able to just reinstall over the install, and it won't overwrite your /home, but that is risky [15:37] what is the grammer of text in conky setup? [15:37] LjL: I just connected to /dev/ttyUSB0, but all I see is this http://paste.ubuntu.com/358082/ === dig is now known as hemanth [15:37] ChogyDan, I'm going to back the home folder up to a DVD-R and then download Karmic and burn the image to a disk. I want to upgrade to a 64-bit OS anyway so upgrading one distro at a time seems retarded. [15:37] Hello , i am using ubuntu 9 and after 1 day of idle my gnome gui hangs and i have to power off the machine and reboot it , is there a fix for it ? or i can restart it from terminal? [15:37] hellow :) i'm using audacious, and playing music from a samba mount, but it seems like it gives 'clicks' sometimes [15:38] any idea what could be the reason ? [15:38] ChogyDan, how to I know whether my PC wil support a 64-bit OS? [15:38] yeah, fwiw, if you waited till 10.04 was released, you would have been able to go straight from 8.04->10.04 [15:38] dupondje: 9.10? === mike_ is now known as Guest19768 [15:38] natrixnatrix89, well, i don't think i can help you further... all i can say is try playing with minicom settings (search for RTS/CTS, for one, and try activating or deactivating it), also find out what speed the port is running at, and see if anything ever shows up. [15:38] airstrike: yep [15:38] trism, thanks [15:38] SealedWithAKiss, did you try upgrading from a x86 version to amd64 version? [15:38] i need to add the speed of eth0 and wlan0 to show a total downspeed and upspeed of my network [15:39] LjL: really thanks for your help! [15:39] dupondje: sound problems in 9.10 are a buck a dozen, usually due to pulseaudio. i have no experience with this though, as it hasn't affected me at all (but i hear a lot of people complaining about that) [15:39] SealedWithAKiss: what processor? Allot of them now adays support it. [15:39] isolat3dsh33p, nahh I didn't I upgraded a x86 with x86. [15:39] thanks!! [15:39] dupondje: i have bad cifs experiences too [15:39] someone know a place to get supercat config lines, or care to share his/hers? Eg for bash files [15:39] seems not a sound problem [15:39] more cifs problem indeed [15:40] Hey I have a problem with my "." in my "./" it [15:40] not being recognized [15:40] SealedWithAKiss, just do the back up and perform a new install then, I guess. :( [15:40] ChogyDan, Intel Core Duo E4700 @ 2.6Ghz - will it suport a 64-bit OS? [15:40] isolat3dsh33p, I'm gonna yeah. [15:40] ya [15:40] ChogyDan, are you sure? [15:41] SealedWithAKiss: I will vouch for him. [15:41] SealedWithAKiss: I thought all the core duos were 64bit capable [15:41] ChogyDan, I haven't got a clue. I don't know much about CPUs. [15:41] SealedWithAKiss: Are you using Ubuntu right now? [15:41] dupondje: yes [15:41] kinja-sheep, thanks. [15:41] SealedWithAKiss, good luck. :) [15:42] SealedWithAKiss: Try "lscpu" in the terminal [15:42] is there a package or other way where i get bzip2 and gzip statically linked? [15:42] kinja-sheep, nahh I'm in Vista. I tried upgrading Hardy to Intrepid. I was trying to get to Karmic. The installation completed, but now the GUI wont start. [15:42] dupondje: in my case the access is blocked for a some ms [15:42] SealedWithAKiss: oh alright. :) [15:42] jami: no fixes or bugreports of it ? [15:42] How do I boot my computer into command line // not have gdm start when I boot up. I think I need to delete xorg.conf [15:42] Maletor: edit grub [15:42] kinja-sheep, so you're also saying Core Duo's support 64-bit OSs? [15:42] dupondje: nfs :) === raven is now known as Guest10933 [15:43] jami: hard with a winblows box ;) [15:43] Anyone use lmms? I dont ever hear anything out of my speaekers [15:43] ChogyDan, I always thought that you needed an AMD CPU to use 64-bit software. [15:43] question -- is there a package or other way where i get bzip2 and gzip statically linked? [15:43] Maletor: "sudo nano /etc/default/grub" then add "text" to line 9 "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"" then "sudo update-grub" [15:44] D: protocol-native.c: Underrun on '***', 0 bytes in queue. [15:44] D: protocol-native.c: Requesting rewind due to end of underrun. [15:44] its really fucked :P [15:44] dupondje: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:44] SealedWithAKiss, or a 64bit intel processor [15:44] VCoolio: When I start up my computer it loads the Ubuntu logo fine, but when it tries to go to the login screen it comes up "Not Supported" on my TV [15:44] It worked fine on my 768p TV now it's on 1080p and won't work [15:44] #ubuntu-cz [15:44] dupondje: mind your language please, in this channel [15:44] SealedWithAKiss: no no, that was awhile ago. AMD and Intel had competing 64bits, and Intel lost. Now all modern CPUs support AMDs version of 64bit [15:44] I just installed ( atleast I think I did ) ubuntu 8.04 lts using wubi now where do I run it?

[15:46] Maletor: ok, press left shift while booting, it will give you the grub menu and you can choose terminal boot [15:47] RealLife: Reboot. Select Ubuntu. [15:47] sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [15:47] Guest50137: ifup the device. man ifup/ifconfig [15:47] All I have is memory test and 2.6.31-17 recovery mode [15:47] no terminal boot... [15:48] Maletor. look at the bottom side [15:48] and there is a letter written you have to press [15:48] should I hit e and then write sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [15:48] kinja-sheep: I did reboot but the setup didn't continue [15:48] to get terminal.. [15:48] VCoolio: don't know about supercat, but highlight handles bash files and tons of other types (highlight -A file; need to include -S type if not a known extension) [15:48] c says command line do I want that? [15:48] it isnt duel boot, its ubuntu under windoze [15:48] Maletor I guess so..

This is it. Now you can select Ubuntu at the boot screen and start using it. [15:50] aww [15:50] nothing like that happened [15:50] jami: you know if there is a bugreport about this issue ? [15:50] Is there a way to get two rows of the windows list applet similar to a taller start bar in windows xp?? [15:50] there is a ubuntu folder in c: [15:50] non riesco a trovare il wifi x ubuntu ho un acer aspire one chi mi puo aiutare???

I give it that password, and it says it can't mount it. How do I mount this? [15:50] edbian: you mean in the bottom panel? [15:51] ChogyDan, I don't care what panel I do it with. But yeah sure, in the bottom panel [15:51] edbian: well, I get 2 rows at 50 pixels [15:52] ChogyDan, Indeed! Thanks! I didn't expect it to be that easy :) [15:52] hi, how can i change MBR on ultimate edition? [15:52] np [15:52] How do I delete my xorg.conf and auto generate a new one? [15:52] how do u spell querry?

[15:54] RealLife: wubi: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide [15:54] SealedWithAKiss: what is your partition makeup? You want to select manual partitioning and reuse all of them [15:54] oh [15:54] SealedWithAKiss, you might want to try wubi, it will install ubuntu as a windows app and not write anything to the boot parts of your disk [15:54] How do I auto generate a new xorg.conf is it nvidia-settings or something like that? [15:55] LizardK|ng, that's a VM right? [15:55] oh, you already have an install to overright [15:55] Maletor, nvidia-xconfig [15:55] Quick Question , my gnome gui hangs after 1 day of idle i can restart it from terminal only way is to reboot the pc any fix for this? [15:55] SealedWithAKiss, no, not a vm, just uses windows boot stuff to boot ubuntu from ntfs [15:55] ZykoticK9: and that will generate a xorg.conf file for me? [15:55] ChogyDan, I have a 250GB Vista partition and an 80GB Ubuntu partition. [15:55] oCean_: I must have forgotten to say Install Ubuntu at boot up. Can I still restart it? [15:55] !ultimate | ultimate- [15:55] ultimate-: The following are some examples of Ubuntu derived distributions that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes; please consult their websites for more information: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), Ultimate Edition [15:55] SealedWithAKiss, its a bit slower with I/O and you can't hibernate [15:55] dupondje: i decided to reformat my data stuff to ext4 and keep m$ as blob in a vm [15:55] Maletor, you but you'll have to use "sudo nvidia-xconfig" [15:56] someone who know how to install benq 5000 scanner under ubuntu 9.10 ?

I'm getting insanely large spaces between characters and I'm wondering if it's normal: http://imagebin.org/80341 (the terminal with vim, top right) [15:58] I want to install ubuntu with KDE (compiz?) for a friend of mine, we both don't know much about linux, but If I buy the books can I make the pc's run smoothly without him having to learn how to use Linux too? [15:59] RealLife: that is like saying i want to drive my car without learning how to drive. [15:59] RealLife: which books you want to buy [16:00] second [16:00] LizardK|ng, I just remembered something. When I first installed Ubuntu, I had to use a a special version of the OS that had the drivers for my motherboard. This was ages ago though when my PC was new, I wont have that problem now with Karmic will I? [16:00] Beginning Ubuntu Linux, Third Edition - Ubuntu Kung Fu [16:00] anyone know the recommened specs for youtube hd videos? i'm on a xp3200 x65 cpu w/ 2gigs ram and 6800gt and getting choppy videos in chrome and firefox [16:00] that is after I finished with Ubuntu Pocket guide [16:00] bastid_raZor: this comparison is to hard :) [16:01] tony__, haha, flash on linux [16:01] SealedWithAKiss, i have no idea, but i would say probably not; try wubi, if it doesn't boot, you can just uninstall; if it does boot, you can reinstall as a dual boot [16:01] tony__, funny one [16:01] bastid_raZor: no no ur wrong [16:01] tony__, your best bet is to pause the flash player and view the video directly (/tmp/Flash*) with mplayer [16:01] how long would it take to install ubuntu in xp with wubi? [16:01] Flash for linux sucks, sorry wait till they implement HTML5 [16:01] anyone else with a better machine or roughly same specs have that problem? i'm knew to ubuntu [16:01] bastid_raZor: people are able to use windoze without much effort I just want to give them that privelage using linux, U guys with this ignorant aproach to linux is who is giving it a bad image [16:01] RealLife: using linux is no simple and easy task. some learning is required. [16:01] thanks guys [16:02] Does linux support audio out on hdmi? [16:02] i want to set everything up for him [16:02] LizardK|ng, I'm in wubi now. [16:02] bastid_raZor: using linux is simple, but you need one to administrate it [16:02] SimSimma, well, html5 still leaves us with the problem of not having a decent browser plugin for players (last I checked - I'd be glad if you proved me wrong) [16:02] LizardK|ng, It wants to install on the C: drive. [16:02] <{chmod}755> Linux is simple enough. Ubuntu and Linux Mint have virtually no learning curve, IMHO. [16:03] LizardK|ng, is this completely reversible? [16:03] yes [16:03] anyone know a way to change the mouse scroll wheel speed? or just in chrome itself? [16:03] Tuxguy, Yes. But i get the impression it can be tricky - I've don't have anything with HDMI audio so I've never tried. Good luck. [16:03] SimSimma, I tried both mozilla-mplayer and gecko-mediaplayer, both of which worked horrendously badly [16:04] Sorry, I dont use browser plugins. [16:04] {chmod}755: that is exactly what I want to do for my "people" ^_^ I dont want to administrate their windoze pc's (antivirus etc etc) - I will rather do it the legal way using linux [16:04] minus when Totem randomly pops up [16:04] * HeaVenGh0st How long would it take to install ubuntu in xp with wubi? [16:04] SealedWithAKiss, completely, it makes a file on your windows partition to use as a root disk in ubuntu [16:04] Dose any one know if I change the max_temp in Config Editor will the fan respond accordingly [16:04] HeaVenGh0st, depends if you need the iso, but about an hour [16:04] LizardK|ng, how long does the installation take? [16:05] <{chmod}755> RealLife, do they have any knowledge of Linux? [16:05] SealedWithAKiss, if you already have the iso, about an hour [16:05] HeaVenGh0st: I was just installing ubuntu using wubi myself :) It doesnt take long at all. here is the guide(someone else just gave it to me ^_^) https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide [16:05] {chmod}755: nope! haha [16:05] Hello here. I'm having trouble while running gtkpod, it says "Assertion 'pthread_setspecific(t->key, userdata) == 0' failed at pulsecore/thread-posix.c:200, function pa_tls_set(). Aborting."... I've tried with the lastest git of this program it does the same... What should I do ? [16:05] I added a process to the "Startup Applications" program. It is starting to fast and would like to tell it to sleep for 9 seconds before start. I tried putting this in the command "sleep 9 && /usr/bin/process" but it is gone the next time I login [16:05] hello [16:06] RealLife: the kung fu guide you spoke is a great guide. that guide will greatly increase your abilities in ubuntu [16:06] hello silvershadow [16:06] Crewsr3, Make a script and tell the script to run in the start up apps. Do you know how to do that? [16:06] bastid_raZor: thanks ^_^ I heard about the book from someone here in this very chatroom (whoever u are : Thanks ^_^) [16:06] RealLife: get your free download of ubuntu pocketguide here: http://ubuntupocketguide.com/index_main.html and see how easy-to-use it really is [16:06] <{chmod}755> RealLife, I find it very, very irresponsible to install a Linux system on someone else's machine if they have no knowledge of Linux. We had a guy in #Linux the night before last who did the same thing, he was the admin, and was trying to make fun of his user because he kept getting frustrated with Linux. That's seriously uncool.

I guess I don't understand why I can just put it in like the "sleep 9 && process" [16:07] i got probs booting my ubuntu 9.10 live CD [16:07] Am I in the good channel for my question ? [16:07] <{chmod}755> Linuxnoob, do you have Linux installed on your system? [16:07] {chmod}755: Linux is simple enough? What in the driver and kernelspace exactly is simple. [16:07] Dose any one know if I change the max_temp in Config Editor will the fan respond accordingly [16:07] Hi everyone [16:07] edbian, why does startup application delete the sleep aspect of the command [16:07] slivershadow: this is ubuntu support, not chat [16:07] Crewsr3, I don't really understand that either. [16:07] don't know, i DLoaded the file from ubuntu.com and burned it to a cd [16:08] sorry [16:08] mounted cd with daemon tools and installed the including program [16:08] <{chmod}755> jami, Are we going to turn this into a philosophical debate about easy? [16:08] restarted computer [16:08] * HeaVenGh0st I am entered into the ubuntu GUI first time after insatlling some files throu wubi rebooted the system and now it says partions formatting? [16:08] and i can choose ubuntu or windows [16:08] i choose ubuntu [16:08] <{chmod}755> Linuxnoob, you do know that the file you downloaded is an ISO and it needs to be mounted on a CD [16:08] * HeaVenGh0st what does that mean? my xp would be deleted? [16:08] edbian, I guess I will set up the script, thanks I thought I would ask in case there is a way to put this the command into the Startup Applications [16:08] y i got it on a cd [16:08] I have a problem with my Logitech E2500 webcam on Ubuntu 9.10: when I use it the image is too dark, I cant even see it, can somebody help me? [16:09] man gdb: "... SEE ALSO: `gdb' entry in info. ...' What is meant here by 'info'? [16:09] <{chmod}755> Linuxnoob, In other words, you did not just burn it to the CD like a regular data disc. You DID mount the image on the disc? [16:09] Linuxnoob: could you try to keep your description in a single line please? That's a lot easier to follow [16:09] i get error while loading ubuntu on startup [16:09] Crewsr3, Yeah, I'm pretty confident that the script will work. It is odd. I wish I knew why it did that too [16:09] ok [16:09] ocean_: rofl I alreaddy downloaded that guide and made someone print it and bind it into a book :D http://www.imagehost.co.za/share-B534_4B533636.html [16:09] it sais "Can't open /dev/sr0...

[16:09] <{chmod}755> Linuxnoob, So when you boot you see a screen that asks you to choose your Windows partition or your Ubuntu partition? [16:10] RealLife: sweet :) [16:10] Linuxnoob: there might be a problem with the media itself. try burning to a different cd or possibly download it again [16:10] <{chmod}755> edbian, I can't determine if he's trying to mount off daemon tools or what. =( [16:10] ok i take it from step 1, in a single post this time :) [16:10] What does installing the system means if enter ubuntu GUI for the first time [16:10] <{chmod}755> Linuxnoob, Thank you very much. =) [16:11] Is there a way to restore the KDE bottom bar?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [16:11] I have a problem with my Logitech E2500 webcam on Ubuntu 9.10: when I use it the image is too dark, I cant even see it, can somebody help me? [16:11] can anyone tell me how do i install SDL?? [16:11] Linuxnoob: don't forget to checksum your download. - just to make sure your download is 100% See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM [16:11] <{chmod}755> adversarian, Do you have Linux on your system?

It installed fine last night, but now, it won't boot. It gets past GRUB fine, but it freezes on the logo screen. Doesn't get past it. [16:12] {chmod}755: i hate going to people's pcs and having to 'fix it' but all i ever end up doing is: installing cracked antivirus. Done :( [16:12] ok [16:13] I have NO idea what's wrong. I tried to reinstall from the CD and it froze when I chose "Install Ubuntu". [16:13] RealLife: wy not just install a free AV instead of a cracked one? [16:13] first i read on some forums what dist seemed best for me, and i found that i wanted to try ubuntu so i downloaded the .ISO file from ubuntu.com and burned it to a CD, then i reeboted and nothing happend so i tried to mount it with Daemon tools. and then a program appeared on my screen that told me to either install ubutnu or something so i installed the program, it tells me to reboot so i did... no results so i tried to reebot [16:13] cant get more, need 1 more line xD [16:13] {chmod}755: I understand what you say. I always make videos for my friends etc *(Using camtasia studio)* so that they can fix the stuff themselves in the future, or just review what I did on their computers.. [16:13] RealLife: be sure to install openssh-server so you can ssh in and do updates remotely.. the ubuntupocketguide tells a bit about ssh [16:13] <{chmod}755> RealLife, I understand and I appreciate, like the rest of the Linux community, that you're advocating Linux so much, especially to new users. But uneducated users become frustrated and do more harm than good to our community. [16:13] adversarian: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? Did you run the CD verifier? [16:13] is there any linux gurus in here [16:13] actionParsnip_ the ID is 046d:089d [16:13] pasjr: just ask your question [16:13] Linuxnoob: you should install ubuntu on disk [16:14] omar: then websearch that, you will find guides [16:14] <{chmod}755> Linuxnoob, That's the issue! You're using daemontools to mount the disc. [16:14] Hi ALL [16:14] then i got to the screen where i could choose ubuntu or windows xp professional... i choose ubuntu and see the ubuntu icon on my screen for a long while, then it turns all black and when i press error i get lots of lines saying... [16:14] {chmod}755: I agree with that statement 100% I see alot of people who hate ubuntu because someone just installed it and left xD [16:14] what shall i just uninstall the program? [16:14] I have to the first is if I change max temp in Config editor will the fan act accordingly [16:14] and reboot? [16:14] Thans a lot for the help, really appreciate it [16:14] <{chmod}755> RealLife, Good man [16:14] cus my computer doesnt find the cd [16:14] Hmm, I think I might've missed that. Would it have installed fine (it booted after the installation fine, too) if the ISO had been incorrect? Instead of shutting down the ubuntu computer I also hibernated it, so I'm wondering if that screwed something up. [16:15] the second is any one know anthing about acpitool -W [16:15] <{chmod}755> Linuxnoob, no - just burn the CD correctly. Give me a second? I'll send you a link... [16:15] my system restarts when trying to boot from ububt live CD. Can anyone help? [16:15] do u think it would work to save the file on my external hard drive? [16:15] Linuxnoob: then boot to recovery root console and edit the boot so the stupid splash screen doesnt show so you can see the bootup text [16:15] jami: trying to debug a bit with wireshark, but it seems all correct [16:15] all normal responses :s [16:15] my system restarts when trying to boot from ubuntu live CD.

[16:16] <{chmod}755> Linuxnoob, http://pcsupport.about.com/od/toolsofthetrade/ht/burnisofile.htm - follow the directions here to burn your ISO to disc. [16:16] my system restarts when trying to boot from ubuntu live CD. Can anyone help? [16:16] jami: Time from request: 0.218262000 seconds [16:16] LizardK|ng, I rebooted and selected Ubuntu. Then the screen went blank, and gave me an error message about NTFS. I think it's because I didn't shut down properly, or because NTFS needs checking. [16:16] seems only difference [16:16] can't i burn ISO with NERO 9? [16:17] <{chmod}755> Linuxnoob, I don't use Nero so I don't know. [16:17] Linuxnoob: yes, burn with the slowest possible speed .. 2x or 4x is best [16:17] Sandy___, You are too vague. Are there errors of any kind? At what point does it reboot? [16:17] SealedWithAKiss, reboot into windows and shut down properly :) [16:17] !burning | Linuxnoob [16:17] Linuxnoob: CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, brasero, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast (GNOME), wodim (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [16:17] edbian.... it reboots as soon i chose to run linux without installing [16:17] I don't know if it's complete and error free. I'm going to burn a new disc and check with that test, I just wanted to know more about possible factors [16:17] brasero only lets me burn at one speed [16:18] !ubuntu | HeaVenGh0st [16:18] HeaVenGh0st, please see my private message [16:18] <{chmod}755> adversarian, anytime you burn an ISO check it with the checksum. [16:18] Sandy___, What do the other options do? [16:18] I'll go do that. I'll be back if I still have problems. Thanks! [16:18] ffffffffffffff [16:18] <{chmod}755> adversarian, good luck! [16:18] ps, ubuntu sux [16:19] and another question while installing burner program [16:19] i have not tried as I do not have sapce to install it. But this options used to work till few days back. [16:19] <{chmod}755> Linuxnoob, shoot bud [16:19] ? [16:19] is it possible to get virus/how much protection will i need? [16:19] <{chmod}755> Linuxnoob, don't need to worry about that. [16:19] Sandy___, I bet sometimes wrong with the CD. Scratched or something [16:19] Hum... I'm having trouble while running gtkpod, it says "Assertion 'pthread_setspecific(t->key, userdata) == 0' failed at pulsecore/thread-posix.c:200, function pa_tls_set(). Aborting."... I've tried with the lastest git of this program it does the same... What should I do ? Am I in the good channel to ask this ? [16:19] !av | Linuxnoob [16:19] Linuxnoob: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [16:19] Linuxnoob, :) You have to worry far less about viruses when using linux [16:20] <{chmod}755> Linuxnoob, viruses are virtually nonexistant for Linux. Further, you don't need to concern yourself with disc defragmentation as well. [16:20] yeah i've heard that but i didnt know if it was only rumors [16:20] I'm trying to get LAN network working between my Win7 and my Ubuntu, I have got smbfs, but the computers only find each other through wireless, why? [16:20] <__raven> which tool like unison can IMMEDIATELY synchronize folders on two pcs? [16:20] Linuxnoob, Read the page ubottu gave and decide for yourself [16:20] no edbian... the same CD is working in my frends system....also there is another issue to it [16:20] dupondje: with wireshark? I guess the protocol flow on the samba share is well. But the local driver blocks for some reasons i dont know [16:20] Sandy___, What is the second issue? [16:21] Sandy___, Is windows xp installed on this system? [16:21] a [16:21] __raven: rsync [16:21] yes...XP sp2 is isntalled [16:21] jami: it lagged after the out-of-range reponse time :) [16:21] changed rsize now, lets see what that does [16:21] Akkernight have you tried a ping in both ways? [16:21] also my XP had staring behaing weird ... [16:21] Sandy___, Could you please start your posts with my name like I am doing for you? It will highlight them for me if you do [16:21] it use to resatrt while showing the splash screen [16:21] <__raven> jami can i configure that it updates in both directions? [16:22] how does it work with games? do i have to reDL my games in linux files or is it enough with wine? [16:22] Sandy___, I suspect bad hardware somewhere because both operating systems are malfunctioning in strange ways. Check your ram! Can you use the memtest option on the Ubuntu CD? It will check your ram [16:22] sure [16:22] Sandy___, It will take a long time to run [16:22] Sandy___, Especially if you have a lot of ram [16:23] Linuxnoob a lot of games can be player with wine. You can check the APP-DB on www.winehq.org. [16:23] <{chmod}755> Linuxnoob, This is a good question. Some games have linux versions on their discs, like Neverwinter Nights (big fan) and installing is easy. [16:23] anyone know if something changed in the past few days in karmic xorg? all of a sudden the resolutions for my SGI panel are off and I can only do 4:3 or 3:2, the latter of which is too wide and sends the far right of my screen into oblivion.. [16:23] hi [16:23] man gdb: "... SEE ALSO: `gdb' entry in info. ...' What is meant here by 'info'? [16:23] <{chmod}755> Linuxnoob, others will require Wine and some won't work at all. However, the Linux community has a HUGE collection of free games for you. [16:23] <{chmod}755> !hi | manuel_ [16:23] how can i do a cd in a dialog shell scripot [16:23] manuel_: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [16:24] lethliel: how do I check the ipaddress on ubuntu, like ipconfig on windows? [16:24] <{chmod}755> manuel_, burn a cd in shell? [16:24] could anyone help me with eclipse and dropins? it seems like eclipse doesn't load the dropins at all, but debug doesn't tell me anything [16:24] bullgard: info is a tool to read documentation. [16:24] i've seen downloads on games like WoW and HoN in Linux files [16:24] hi folks. I seem to be having dev permission problems. If I try to run alasmixer I get can't open deivce, but if I sudo it it works no problem, where have I gone wrong? [16:24] no the command change dir in a dialgo script [16:24] Akkernight open a terminal. Type "sudo ifconfig" [16:24] i hope it's not neccesery to download wow in linux format cus its a big game [16:24] http://pastebin.com/m52316794 [16:25] <{chmod}755> Linuxnoob, Yeah, a lot of games have linux versions. And you will need to redl WoW in Linux format. [16:25] Hi, I've been getting a note from Opera recommending a software update for the last 2 months or so. The version in the respositories is still the old one. Am I missing important security updates by sticking to the repository version? (Kubuntu 8.04, Opera 9.80)) [16:25] <{chmod}755> Linuxnoob, .exe files do not work in Linux (unless you use some... cheats) [16:25] cheats? [16:25] Linuxnoob, there is no wow in linux format you can dl the windows version and use wine to play it [16:25] __raven: for that task you must do a little bit more [16:25] puh [16:25] <__raven> jami, ? [16:25] its a big game :P [16:25] <{chmod}755> manuel_, thanks for the correct. I don't play wow [16:25] __raven: http://www.mail-archive.com/rsync@lists.samba.org/msg12370.html [16:26] linuxnoob yeah use wine. It is easy and WoW runs very good [16:26] lethliel: ok, eth0 shows some stuff, but I noticed only IPvP6 is there not IPvP4... [16:26] <__raven> jami anything simple? [16:26] <{chmod}755> Linuxnoob, Wine or shell commands to convert formats. (I've seen it done!) [16:26] Jeruvy: A "tool" is a program, right? How can I install it? And how can I call it? [16:26] Linuxnoob, wine [16:26] <{chmod}755> !wine | linuxnoob [16:26] linuxnoob: 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 [16:26] Linuxnoob, Linux and Windows are two different operating systems. the programs they run are entirely different, it's not just a question of "format". the only thing is that some Windows program can be run in a Windows emulator, WINE, but don't expect them all to work there. [16:26] what does wine do, exactly, does it just make the .exe files executable? [16:26] bullgard: it is part of your core util's. See 'man info' for details. [16:26] is ist possible to do a "cd" command inside a dialog ? [16:27] <3 this channel :D [16:27] <{chmod}755> No, it's a compatibility layer. It creates a virtual Windows environment in Linux. [16:27] Linux70, its a wrapper for the windows commands [16:27] does WoW run well on WINE? i've tried WINE its not a very satisfactory emulator lol... [16:27] __raven: it's a solution to precreate a tmp file list for the files [16:27] Akkernight there is no entry in the inet Adress Part of the ifconfig output? [16:27] <{chmod}755> faheem, I've heard it does. [16:27] you're right, i just checked wow's homesite and found that the download files is only for mac/windows :D [16:27] faheem, wine has improved a lot [16:27] <{chmod}755> faheem, it's not an emulator either. ;) [16:27] i'll try it out [16:27] * faheem shrugs [16:27] lethliel: there's inet6 [16:27] its what i read in forums :P [16:27] nautilus crashed and now my desktop is blank - no icons/shortcuts exist. How do I fix this? 9.04. [16:28] <{chmod}755> faheem, now you can set them straight. It's a compatibilty layer. Somewhere between a virtual machine and an emulator. [16:28] restart nautilus [16:28] <__raven> jami yes i thought unison would do it so but it takes an houre every scan! [16:28] * faheem nods... [16:28] Linuxnoob: wine is kind of a compability layer around applications, pretty much provides them with windows fluff to make them confortable. [16:28] i figured a virual machine and a emulator was the same to be honest lol.. [16:28] <{chmod}755> arand, that's deliciously insulting in a way. =) [16:28] and it works on most windows prog? [16:28] <{chmod}755> faheem, No, not really. =P [16:29] Akkernight then you have to set a IP Adress yourself: "ifconfig eth0 ip.ip.ip.ip mask mask.mask.mask" [16:29] Hi, I've been getting a note from Opera recommending a software update for the last 2 months or so. The version in the respositories is still the old one. Am I missing important security updates by sticking to the repository version? (Kubuntu 8.04, Opera 9.80)) [16:29] <{chmod}755> Linuxnoob, in general.

[16:30] {chmod}755: is it normal.. i m installing it for the first time [16:30] <{chmod}755> HeaVenGh0st, when install is done you'll reboot and remove the LiveCD. You'll then be booted into your new Ubuntu installation. [16:30] http://pastebin.com/m52316794 [16:30] <{chmod}755> HeaVenGh0st, sounds like everything is going perfectly. =) [16:30] jami no im trying to connect to our university server [16:30] Akkernight what was the command you entered? You have to run it as root or with sudo [16:31] {chmod}755: ohh great! now it says creating user at 79% [16:31] lethliel: sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.99 255.255.255.0 [16:31] exit [16:31] \disconnect [16:31] Akkernight sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.99 mask 255.255.255.0 [16:31] <{chmod}755> HeaVenGh0st, don't worry too much about that. There's a set step-by-step you have to follow when installing Linux by hand. The LiveCD installers emulate that. [16:32] hk_99: then you using ts_client and choose the wrong protocol [16:32] lethliel: now it says "mask: Unknown host" [16:32] jami, Thanks I think that worked [16:32] i tried several protocols on the terminal server client [16:33] {chmod}755: hmmm.. actually i am installing it thru WUBI inside the xp option. [16:33] #ubuntu-boot [16:33] Akkernight sorry netmask not mask :) [16:33] jami, yes it did thanks [16:33] hk_99: what should the wind0ws user for remote [16:33] SimSimma: k [16:33] Which GDM file is used to specify which GDM theme you want to use located in /usr/share/gdm/themes?

[16:35] {chmod}755: installing like does effect the performace of ubuntu or not? [16:35] and its gone [16:35] hk_99: the item in default menus marked 'remote desktop' is not a windows rdp client, install 'rdesktop' and run that command with the hostname you want, e.g. 'rdesktop somewindows.uni.edu' [16:35] hi all [16:36] <{chmod}755> HeaVenGh0st, sorry, I grabbed another cup of coffee. [16:36] jami: did set rize to 124K, and didn't had any buffer error yet :) [16:36] <{chmod}755> HeaVenGh0st, I've never installed Ubuntu like that so I don't know . [16:36] bitmonk: hey vnc could also be a solution :-P [16:36] {chmod}755: thats alright.. thanks anyway [16:36] dupondje: ok will try that thx [16:36] jami: vnc is what i think he's using, and probably not operated by the uni.. [16:37] 'remote desktop viewer' in gnome is a vnc/ssh client.. not actually quite sure what it does over ssh, but it doesn't talk rdp.. [16:37] omg [16:37] lethliel: still only inet6 [16:37] bitmonk: i have seen a lot on uni servers :D [16:38] Akkernight can you pastebin the output of ifconfig? [16:38] sure jami, but, the most likely situation for all windows servers in the world is rdp, which shouldn't be the backseat choice esp since it's faster and lower bandwidth. [16:39] bitmonk: k [16:39] I'm trying to access windows directories from my ubuntu. Does anyone knows how to? When I try it ask for a password and username but when i set them reapears the same window again and again. [16:39] Hi [16:39] <{chmod}755> !hi | jezz [16:39] jezz: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!

[16:40] <{chmod}755> Jezz, hey! We don't hate you. We're just not good friends. When's the last time you took me out to dinner?

[16:42] hk_99: rm ~/.rdesktop/license. [16:42] lethliel: oh wait, I did :D [16:42] hk_99: and try again [16:43] jami ~ is for the path right? [16:43] jezz: just, btw, i picked up a 15" lcd recently for about $25, and some 20" for a friend and his kids for xmas for about $120/ea. but, if your monitor supports 72 you should be able to get that. [16:43] i just installed AMP on ubuntu 9.10 but i am getting the following error " Not Found The requested URL /new/index.php/install/ was not found on this server." [16:44] hk_99: ~/ is your home path [16:44] oh ok [16:44] yeah but I can't [16:44] Akkernight :) great. if you want to save the configuration permanently you have to edit /etc/network/interfaces. Here is doc: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-networking-configuration-using-command-line.html [16:44] can some1 plz give me a working link to an iso burner? [16:44] Also, CRT is superior in every way :p [16:44] hello, can I send a keyboard-combination to an application? like ctrl-w to the firefox? or something else? [16:44] hey guys ^^ [16:45] jezz: find me one that does HD color depth. ;) [16:45] anyway, what makes you think nvidia is 'overwriting' ? [16:45] !info xautomation | schasch [16:45] can some1 plz give me a working link to an iso burner? [16:45] Linuxnoob: whats wrong with the standard burner [16:45] schasch: xautomation (source: xautomation): Control X from the command line, and find things on the screen. In component universe, is extra. Version 1.03-1 (karmic), package size 40 kB, installed size 220 kB [16:45] Anyone know any decent games that ru under Ubuntu 9.04??? [16:45] i've tried 2 and none of them work :S [16:45] preferably mmorpgs [16:45] !games > Haxx (Haxx, see the private message from ubottu) [16:45] jami would be the server? [16:46] LjL ubottu :thanks,i will look [16:46] 1 doesnt start/got .exe file and the other doesn't let me pick .ISO file -.-' [16:46] i just installed AMP on ubuntu 9.10 but i am getting the following error " Not Found The requested URL /new/index.php/install/ was not found on this server." [16:46] hk_99: yep [16:46] Hello. I'm back again. I checked the hash and checked the disc integrity (burned a new one), and that went fine. But when I load the LiveCD, choosing install or try without changing doesn't go anywhere. It just freezes after the logo glows for a few minutes. [16:46] I am having an extemely weird problem, I have a wlan card using the rt61 chipset driver and I ve noticed some sort of lag with my connection to my AP, I have an official access point and one in my room that I ve been using for testing. For some odd reason, I get delays using internet or even using the web config page for either router, and I am not sure how to go about diagnosing the problem, Any ideas? [16:46] adityag: and ... [16:46] There aren't any messages. [16:47] adityag: tail /var/log/apache/error.log [16:47] adityag, AMP directory is found in /var/www as i know [16:47] ..

Do I have to boot and choose terminal? [16:48] adversarian, Open a terminal silly :) Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal [16:48] I can't get that far; it doesn't boot [16:49] berserk_ren: there is already files in that directory, but i cant access them [16:49] hk_99: you see other possible licence keys ? [16:49] adityag, chmod 777 /var/www [16:49] The computer already has ubuntu 9.10 installed, but it won't boot correctly - it always freezes on the logo. When I boot from the liveCD, it freezes on the logo, too. [16:49] or other chmod ... 777 means full access [16:50] jami no not really [16:50] i tried Free Easy CD DVD burner and didnt let me open .iso files... [16:50] hk_99: then i've no idea :) sry [16:50] Linuxnoob: k3b can do it all.. [16:50] k3b? [16:50] jami ok thanks though [16:51] kellemes: kde tss [16:51] i just don't know those chmod numbers... ofcourse you can write like xrwrxr... but i also don't know meanings :D [16:51] how to change the resolution size in ubuntu 9.04?

[16:52] ok ill googe/download it :) [16:52] Linuxnoob: no [16:52] Linuxnoob: u will aptitude install k3b [16:52] Linuxnoob: it [16:52] berserk_ren: chmod does nt work [16:52] huh? [16:53] kde-libs? cant i download? [16:53] strange... it should work [16:53] adversarian: hmm, it might be worth a try using options like "acpi=off", etc..., they are available from the liveCD, does they allow you to boot? Also, check the CD for defects, (md5sum) [16:53] sudo chmod 777 /var/www [16:53] would it be possible to start a graphical program on my server, from my desktop computer? if I start a program over ssh -Y it will run here, and without -Y it wont run at all [16:53] Linuxnoob: is this from windows you want to burn? [16:53] yeah [16:53] Yeah, I checked it for defects, before and after burning the ISO to the disc. Both tests went fine. [16:53] I want the program to keep running on the server when I shut down this pc [16:53] i wanna burn liveCD [16:53] from windows professioanl [16:53] professional [16:53] !burniso | Linuxnoob [16:53] Linuxnoob: To burn an ISO image of a CD in Linux, Mac OS or Windows, read the howto at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [16:54] c3l, but a & at the end of the command [16:54] edbian, :O ty [16:54] ubuntu is not detecting my monitor ? screen is coming very small? [16:54] hi, my webcam works, but the image is not good...using cheese [16:54] HeaVenGh0st: there is a wiki page about that, i'm also having issues in the past few days.. [16:54] c3l, No problem [16:54] you went to display preferences? [16:54] yeah i've downloaded iso recorder but i cant find exe file [16:54] adityag, sudo chmod 777 /var/www always use sudo if writtin something like - need's root =] [16:55] I'm going to try acpi=off; let's see how this goes.. [16:55] supposed to be 5 megapix, and the grain is big [16:55] bitmonk: yes [16:55] HeaVenGh0st: there are no larger resolutions available? [16:55] bitmonk: No i cant see any [16:55] Linuxnoob: u should really read the ubuntu documentation ... from the top [16:55] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/Resolution#Problem: Wrong resolutions, refresh rates, or monitor specs HeaVenGh0st [16:55] when I shutdown my laptop from ubuntu, the mouse that is attached to the USB slot remains lit. How can I fix that? [16:56] With the acpi=off option, should I then continue with "try ubuntu" or try and install? [16:56] bitmonk: i will give it a go [16:56] berserk_ren: http://183.87.46.71/ [16:56] can anyone help with getting synce to work so that when I connect my device to the computer it would show as a drive? [16:56] chadi: your laptop may provide power to usb devices when off. check the bios, maybe it is different for some usb ports, even. [16:56] WHY DONT YOU GUYS JUST USE DEBIAN [16:56] every time when i boot into ubuntu there came out a window before the login screen it showed :your graphic is in low mode...... then i try to settle it but without luck it came out again in the next start,can anyone help? [16:56] berserk_ren: try opening either the root or new directory [16:56] hum [16:57] why dont you guys just use debian [16:57] WHY? [16:57] psdgvfd34: that's disruptive and, the answer is, we don't wanna. [16:57] i dont even know that there is an documentation... tought it was just burn and go :/ [16:57] psdgvfd34: don't care to? [16:57] bitmonk: no bios settings about that, and windows doesn't have this problem [16:57] loool [16:57] odd, chadi, that is a thinker.. [16:57] works perfectly [16:57] adityag [16:57] ps, I am justing testing an irc client that I am writing for huge userlists [16:57] it works =] [16:57] jami: http://183.87.46.71/ try opening either the root or new directory [16:57] psdgvfd34: well this is a huge userlist [16:58] and figured you'd troll while at it psd? =) [16:58] does not opens [16:58] psdgvfd34: also, way more packages, many things more up to date, releases more often so we don't have to run sid on the desktop for a program that was in last spring's linux journal.. [16:58] berserk_ren: i know its working but root or new is not opening [16:58] yes Jatone1 [16:58] need to get proper highlighting [16:58] another answer is probably that many of us probably use debian, ubuntu, and even other linuxen! ;) [16:58] it should not be opened [16:58] bitmonk: I also would like to add that I head a small "detonation" like a speaker detonation when the laptop is shutdown, so I might think of an incorrect shutdown. [16:58] protected... [16:58] bitmonk, I use debian [16:58] Once again, it's just frozen. :/ No change. [16:59] lol [16:59] if you opren root - someone crush your system :D [16:59] If I boot up normally (without the liveCD), it freezes at the "skip stopping firewall: uwf (not enabled)" part. Does that narrow it down any? [16:59] adityag just for your information: it is never a good idea to change the priviliges of the www root to 777 [16:59] hi all i m not able to run my graphics programs using "graphics.h". Can anyone help me with this???? [16:59] btw chmod 4 root doesnt work if im right ;D [16:59] chadi: interesting, try setting up netconsole and capturing some pasteables from a shutdown, on another machine.. [17:00] indian_munnda, graphics.h is a C/C++ header file? You can't compile or run header files. You need a .cpp [17:00] bitmonk: I don't understand. I'm still a n00b. can you elaborate or link me? [17:00] anyone have any experience with using dm-crypt? [17:00] lethliel: i knew but berserk_ren told me to do so [17:00] Hi, I am using Ubuntu 9.10 (64bit) and wine 1.1.36 to run wow on a second x server using this script http://pastebin.com/d394b07cf and I was wondering how can I make it so I get sound on that second x server? [17:00] brb reboot [17:01] edbian, exactly but i have made a small program which uses graphics.h functions. So i want to use those function but my compiler doesn't recognize it's functions.. [17:01] adityag just telling you in the case you don't know. no offend :) [17:01] adityag: can access both [17:02] lethliel: jami: chmod should not have to be done [17:02] indian_munnda, You need to #include _graphics.h_ at the top of the .cpp [17:02] indian_munnda, Also, this is off-topic. You need to ask in a different channel [17:02] adityag, after install LAMP just make /var/www accessible 4 u and users =] 4 u = full access, for users - just read [17:02] adityag: what [17:02] i'm having some unusual problems... some files on disk are changed randomly... just had a problem logging into xsession because it seems libglib package was corrupt all by it self... probably a hdd problem? thoughts? [17:02] adityag: chmod does nothing to do with web access control [17:03] adversarian: please mention name if adressing someone particualar (tis abusy channel). How did you install ubuntu if you couldn't boot into the liveCD? [17:03] adityag: -does +has [17:03] btw this chmod is just for your system... [17:03] not for web [17:03] chadi: google netconsole [17:03] edbian, i did included it as #include, sorry to ask but i didn't found any other channel [17:03] adversarian: and yes after selecting acpi=off (or maybe try the other ones as well, just use "try without changes" [17:03] adityag: you want .htaccess? [17:03] ah... nevermind... im away... study physics :D [17:03] * berserk_ren is away: study [17:03] indian_munnda, Try this syntax: "#include _graphics_h_" I have no other suggestions [17:04] arand: I installed it last night and it went fine. I previously had Windows XP Home, and converted the entire PC to Ubuntu. After installation it booted fine, and everything worked. I hibernated the computer for the night, and when I turned it on it didn't work properly. [17:04] Hey are there destructions on how to install Ubuntu from a USB pen? [17:04] edbian, okies thanks [17:04] Hang on I know... UNetbootin [17:04] adversarian: and not even the liveCD will startup now? [17:04] Lantizia: search for UNetbootin [17:05] Lantizia, I've never heard of destructions! What are they like? Do they teach you how to not do things? [17:05] edbian, Exactly... see you have heard of them [17:05] arand: No, even though I've checked the CD for errors. It freezes whether I choose install or try, through the menu. [17:05] is notifyOSD a separate project or does it _depend_ on libnotify? [17:05] Lantizia, ha ha ha [17:06] bitmonk and what about capturing shutdown events? [17:06] chadi: you'll get the console output that flies by just before the screen powers off, into a netcat or rsyslog this way [17:06] bitmonk: thank you. I'll try that tomorrow :) [17:07] adversarian: that is very strange.. hmm, the only thing I really could guess is awry is that it's somehow failing in reading the swap.. but I don't see how the liveCD would care about that... [17:07] what does localhost mean? [17:07] edbian, I've just got so tired of burning CDs... they end up everywhere! and half the time they don't work [17:07] arand: Is there a way for me to boot in the cd without the logo screen, so I could see what's going on? [17:07] aliquerer it is your system [17:07] lethliel: i have creataed a server which is called localhost what does that mean? [17:08] aliquerer: localhost = 127.0.0.1 it's like an internal ip adress (from what I understand at least) [17:08] aliquerer that the server resides on your local system [17:08] arand: When I boot without the cd in recovery mode, it stops after checking the keyboard and whatnot. Specifically it says "skip stopping firewall: uwf (not enabled)" before stopping. [17:08] lethliel: does that mean no one except me can open the content? cuz thats what i want :P [17:09] adversarian: hm, booting the CD just to root terminal should be doable, let's see how... [17:09] aliquerer it can be accessed via a network interface like eth0 or eth1. Depending on what server it is and based on its configuration [17:09] *hehe [17:10] lethliel: i dont anyone the access it. how do i prtoect it? [17:10] arand: When I boot the computer I do get to GRUB, and from what I remember there's terminal access from there. I haven't tried to see if that option works. [17:10] htaccess [17:10] aliquerer what type of server is it? [17:10] arand: I was thinking it might've been a grub problem until the liveCD didn't work either [17:11] lethliel: what do you mean? i created it by installing LAMP and create a database with phpadmin [17:11] can anyone help with getting synce to work so that when I connect my device to the computer it would show as a drive? [17:11] adversarian: recovery mode is supposed to give root shell if it gets by... [17:11] 大家晚上好阿 [17:11] aha [17:11] its a form of PDA, it uses a custom shell over the win ce 6 but it would use normal activesync / win mobile center if on windows system [17:11] arand: No, recovery mode stops as well. :/ [17:11] aliquerer then as jami stated htaccess would be the way. And there are other servers as well. A server must not be a webserver [17:12] lethliel: ack [17:12] adversarian: you could try running the recovery mode from the liveCD. Choose F6 and then edit the boot line: Remove the "quiet splash --" and replace it with "single" [17:12] http://www.pandamailer.de/?bettel=pimbolli [17:13] arand: I'll give that a go. I'll let you know what happens. [17:13] Has anyone ever got cPanel working with ubuntu ??? [17:13] lethliel: so what do i do if I dont want anyone to read my content? [17:13] Hope somebody can guide me to the right resource - if I wanted to develop my own GUI for *nix based OS what options do I have? [17:13] i have problems reading files. The permissions are set fine. Even as root i can't access the files. http://pastebin.com/m147f1878 Can anyone help me? [17:14] Nuxcy, GTK+ and QT are the two predominate APIs for a GUI [17:14] >!ati ouyes [17:14] how to use the robot info [17:15] Anyone got cPanel working on ubuntu ? [17:15] - [17:15] i want to know info about ati [17:15] !ati | ouyes [17:15] ouyes: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [17:15] !bot > ouyes [17:15] ouyes, please see my private message [17:16] LizardK|ng, I solved the original problem. After the upgrade to Intrepid, the video card drivers needed to be re-installed. [17:16] aliquerer you can use htaccess: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/howto/htaccess.html <-- this is a howto [17:16] arand: It's stopped at "Starting early crypto disks". The computer is no longer reading the CD. [17:16] SealedWithAKiss, glad to hear! [17:16] iceroot, Jeruvy thanks [17:16] hi guys [17:17] edson: Hi [17:17] LizardK|ng, do drivers always need to be re-installed when you upgrade the OS? [17:17] edbian: thanks. I'll look these up. [17:17] somebody use ubuntu for laptop dell? [17:17] SealedWithAKiss, don't know, depends on the drivers [17:17] edson, works pretty much ootb [17:17] edson: There are probably a ton of users running Ubuntu on a Dell laptop - please ask your question [17:18] steffan, ok ok [17:18] adversarian: do you use any encryption in the install? [17:19] after install ubuntu 9.10 my laptop dell inspiron 1440. [17:19] not work button eject cd-rom. [17:19] arand: I set a userpassword, but otherwise I didn't pick any sort of encryption option. I even chose to boot without asking for my password. [17:19] somebody is problem? [17:20] arand: Would there be a way for me to reformat the entire HDD and try to reinstall ubuntu after that? I don't have any files or anything on the computer yet, so it wouldn't be a problem for me === Bwaaaway is now known as Bwaah [17:21] edson: You can try the following. Open Terminal via Application/Accessories/Terminal and run this command 'sudo gedit /etc/sysctl.conf' and add the following to the end of that file 'dev.cdrom.lock=0', then save and close [17:21] adversarian: Well I really don't know what's awry, you could try running something like SystemRescueCD and see if that boots, and then run fsck from there and see if it filesystem erros that's causing the hassle... [17:21] In my audio settings, my nvidia card shows HDMI audio out, and HDMI audio out + analog out.... when did nvidia hdmi start being supported for audioout? [17:21] steffan, gksu/gksudo gedit please :) === phil is now known as Phil_Ewert [17:22] servus === christian is now known as Guest38923 [17:22] adversarian: if you wipe the computer it should work.. but I feel there should be better ways to do this... [17:22] edbian: Hm? [17:22] arand: Possibly, but reformating might be fastest at this point. [17:22] steffan, To run a graphical app as root you should use gksu or gksudo not sudo [17:23] arand: There's nothing on the HDD but the fresh ubuntu installation, and this way we'll find out if it was just a corrupt installation or if it's the actual hardware that's at fault. I just don't know how to reformat it [17:23] edbian: what's wrong with sudo for graphical aplications? [17:23] edbian: Oh sorry, I'm actually reading from some documentation so no idea. I edit text-based anyhow [17:24] steffan, reboot system? [17:24] Hinata, I'm not sure... I heard it on here a long time ago. The explanation I got was "sudo does not set things up properly for a graphical app" [17:24] edson: No there is no need for that, is it working? [17:24] edbian: oh ok thanks [17:24] edbian: At the end of the day, "it works" [17:24] steffan, true [17:24] Why is seamless mode grey in the vbox menu? I am using Windows 7 with an Ubuntu installation on a virtual drive. [17:25] Does anyone know why if you run a second X display, you stop getting anykind of sound? [17:25] arand: I'm going to see if the terminal works with the normal boot, instead of the CD. Maybe we'll get answers then [17:25] adversarian: hmm, yea, well you'll have to boot something with partition editing, be it a windows CD, A floppy with fdisk, or SystemRescueCD... [17:26] steffan, no. [17:26] arand: Terminal loads fine. What should I try out? I'm a complete linux newb. [17:26] how can i install wine [17:26] the terminal seems to work but i cant find it [17:26] sudo aptitude install wine jordanbuchman [17:27] jordanbuchman: use ubuntu software centre [17:27] jordanbuchman: just search for "wine" [17:27] ok thanks!

Anyone know what this was called? It's not Window List. [17:28] it doesnt work [17:28] does anyone know how to do it using xfce [17:29] adversarian: hmm, so where are you? are you booted into linux and to the terminal? Or is the the grub terminal? [17:29] hi [17:29] hi bobe [17:29] alright how can you do it using xfce [17:29] arand: It's the grub commandline thing. I don't know if I can do much with it, but the fact that it works is an improvement [17:29] jordanbuchman: have you installed it? [17:30] no i used some info online to use terminal to install it [17:30] it seemed like it worked [17:30] but im not sure [17:30] * UbuN2 Scans for living Life [17:31] adversarian: yea, I'm not sure there's much to be done from grub... [17:31] jordanbuchman open a terminal and type winecfg. If a application opens it works :) [17:31] ok thanks [17:31] ill try it [17:32] nope [17:32] arand: Is the GRUB version supposed to be 1.97b4 with ubuntu 9.10? [17:32] jordanbuchman: to use wine from terminal use "wine applicationname.exe" [17:32] Anyone know what this applet is called? [17:32] hi [17:32] adversarian: yes [17:32] jordanbuchman you can also try typing which wine. It will show you the path to the wine binaries. Or not if not installed. [17:33] setuid: window selector? [17:33] okay [17:33] that litteraly [17:33] ? [17:34] ah, I wonder why that didn't show up when I searched for 'window' instead of 'selector' [17:34] Thanks [17:34] ok should i install wine or wine1.2 [17:34] I used Wubi to dual-boot with Ubuntu, but It gives me a "severe kernal error" [17:34] hmmmmm [17:35] never happened with me [17:35] what desktop are you using [17:35] '/part [17:35] jordanbuchman its your choice. wine ist linked to the current Version imho [17:35] lol [17:36] I am about to write a application that needs to use a webcam, it needs to be ported to Window$ and OSX, what should I use?

If it is not the full output can you please post the entire output of fdisk -l [18:56] 192.168.0.1, for sure [18:56] __raven: then you will need to time to see how often you can run it [18:56] ajamison5579, is it possible to install another OS on the second HDD and choose what HDD to boot from when I start up the computer? I'm sure I'd need to adjust the bios or something. [18:57] CoolCon: as I said, samba has issues with win7 as I've seen it. maybe samba4 is needed. Ive not used it but it may help. have a look into it === Gaseum is now known as Boten_Anna [18:57] LOLsaurusRex, sorry for late answere. I dont know the package maintainer when upgrade the acrobat reader. if u want to the newest download it from adobe: http://get.adobe.com/reader/ and install it from commandline [18:57] you can yes gg19 that is called dual-booting [18:57] !dualboot | GG19 [18:57] GG19: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [18:57] I'm using irssi. Are there any nice irc clients out there other than? [18:58] helo,anyone an idea to start one windows with 3 terminal inside? (for mutt,top and tail) ? [18:58] prospero977: depends on your preferences. Maybe you'd like xchat [18:58] ajamison5579, yeah thats all the info minus "---@---desktop" [18:58] xchat --will be sure to try it. [18:58] anyone use xen on ubuntu 9.04 (or ubuntu 9.10) and have it working with multiple DomU's? [18:58] now i can't even ping :S [18:59] <__raven> ActionParsnip__, is not possible to start it as background process so that it makes a protocol instead of check every file every time? [18:59] __raven: cron will run as a service and the copying with run as a service too [18:59] ajamison5579, I'm begining to think the drive just uses that 300+mb by default even if its cleaned. [18:59] gg19 if both drives are in the machine and the second is not a USB drive it should be very easy to setup a dual-boot [18:59] schasch: multiple tabs for one terminal will not do for you? (ctrl-shift-t) [19:00] the filesystem uses some space [19:00] thx for help, leaving right now... problem is still there unfortunately [19:00] oCean: if I can see them all? [19:00] Boobek: Thanks for your help mate. [19:00] <__raven> ActionParsnip__, yes but this will not change the process (checking-protocol) but only the automatism [19:00] anyone use xen on ubuntu 9.04 (or ubuntu 9.10) and have it working with multiple DomU's? or anyone able to upgrade udev to version 150? [19:00] oCean:with tabs I only see one :-( [19:01] but if you do not have one installed then it should not be allocated gg19. also often HDD sizes are rounded up so a 1tb will never be able to use more then 953 for example [19:01] or something like that [19:01] schasch: well, you would have to "tab" through the tabs. I think you're looking for a split screen? [19:01] __raven: true, if you use rsync it will only transmit the changes which will be quicker [19:01] schasch: you could just open multiple terminalwindows, you know? [19:01] would I just use the same tprogram I formatted to make a partition and then load an OS on it and then restart the pc and it give me the option what one to start from? [19:01] Ziber: don't upgrade udev outside of the repos [19:01] oCean: yes [19:01] ajamison5579, thats probably the case then [19:01] schasch: why not open multiple terminals then? I have tons of 'em open during the day.. [19:01] ikonia: how am i supposed to get xen to work with multiple domu's then? [19:02] <__raven> ActionParsnip__, right but rsync only updates into one direction - i have a special problem it seems....? [19:02] oCean: 3 time gnome-terminal is no good solution [19:02] Ziber: well, first of all, a.) how do you know udev is the problem, that response will lead how to progress [19:02] gg19 it is a little more complex then that [19:02] !info terminator | schasch, ok this might be something: [19:02] schasch,: terminator (source: terminator): multiple GNOME terminals in one window. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.13+ds1-2 (karmic), package size 138 kB, installed size 1188 kB [19:02] but it depends on what os you install on the other drive [19:03] ikonia: its a reported bug with ubuntu, according to xensource. [19:03] ajamison5579, assuming my bios is set to boot from HDD, I'm just confued if it will boot from my ubuntu hdd and not give me an option to boot from my other hdd or will it force me to pick? [19:03] oCean_ it suprises me that it do not exist (only terminator, a pythonscript) [19:03] Ziber: ok, so my suggestion would be to log a bug against the udev package on launchpad quoting the xen bug and open a dialog with the udev maintainer team [19:03] __raven: sounds like it, ive not done bi-directional [19:03] oCean;ubottu yes, terminator...but that could not be paramerter'd [19:03] my torrent box refuses to boot, when i use live cd to boot and try gparted it doesn't recognise the file system - how to i fix the boot sector? [19:03] :/ [19:04] for 3 terminal and the 3 apps [19:04] <__raven> ActionParsnip__, could you imagine any solution with this: http://fileschanged.sourceforge.net/ ? [19:04] gg19 it depends if your bios can read both drives then often you can use GRUB (the ubuntu loader) to load both it will give you a choice at boot and you pick one [19:04] gg19 but i would need more specific specs on your setup and what you want to do to say for sure [19:05] i was trying to use virtualbox but it was slowing my pc to much and never finished thats why i rather dual-boot [19:05] __raven: you'll have to experiment with some dummy data to then transfer to the prime time [19:05] oCean;ubottu: and I am not succeeding to path it(too stupid) [19:05] hey guys just wondering: is there a game like the sims for linux ?

[19:38] al_: ls -R [19:38] CaptainJones: that doesnt log out [19:38] inx-live: sudo lshw | less may say [19:38] al_: uh llutz is right about -R working, yeah [19:39] llutz: ls *.dll -R gives no such file or directory? [19:39] inx-live: i guess it is somewhere in /proc ;) [19:39] Hilikus: yeah but I'm in console and then I have to do something like sudo service *** stop! [19:39] CaptainJones sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [19:39] al_ ls -r *.dll [19:39] CaptainJones: yes, if you do sudo service gdm stop then i will kill X, but it still wont log you out [19:39] CaptainJones: sudo service gdm stop ;) [19:39] it* [19:39] JackTIM: dont work either [19:40] ActionParsnip__: plugged in windows, safe remove, plug in ubuntu, still nothing. [19:40] thnx phaer [19:40] I just need to stop X server to install drivers [19:40] llutz: number 2... Mail... is that pop.oak-leaf.co.za? [19:40] from console using iwconfig, i have trouble connecting to new essid, seems to stay stuck on my home wifi, any suggestion? [19:40] MaT-dg: if you run: sudo fdisk -l you will see the partition, you can manually mount it [19:40] CaptainJones, for the nvidia ones right? Why are you not using the .deb? [19:41] Ascavasaion yout hosters mail-server [19:41] Ascavasaion: usually mail.yourdomain.co.za [19:41] dotblank: I preffer the last from nvidia isn't it better?

[19:42] jami i just get a hassle trying to connect to diff wifi apart from home [19:42] ActionParsnip__: sudo fdisk -l doesn't show the partition of the usb device [19:42] MaT-dg: then run: dmesg | tail to see what the kernel said when you put in the device [19:42] CaptainJones, yes and no. the latest from nvidia has more bug fixes but I find to be more unstable. Also maintaining the kernel module is harder if you are not using dkms which the package in the repo sets up for you [19:42] anyone know where to change the php5 include path on ubuntu 9.10 ? [19:43] php.ini doesn't seem to do it [19:43] al_: ls -r --file-type .dll [19:43] what mount point should I choose for my EXT3 partition? I don't know which one to choose..

[19:44] jami i'll look into nm-applet, i had use wicd and wifi-radar but both are unreliable, i prefer straight from console [19:44] rather -R [19:44] Sorry. [19:44] Hilikus: right now in the partition edit windows [19:44] Ascavasaion: is "oak-leaf.co.za" your domainname? [19:44] Hilikus: right now in the partition edit window [19:44] ArmyMan007: if you are installing ubuntu it shoukd be / [19:44] al_; ls -R --file-type .dll [19:44] ArmyMan007: sure, you can mount to /usr/share/stuff/data/submarine if you want [19:44] llutz: Yes. [19:44] jami: thanks! i didn't know there were two different ones :) [19:44] -r is reverse order, -R is recursive [19:44] clocksys: iwup got a bad exit state or what do you mean [19:44] ArmyMan007: as long as the folder exists it can be used [19:44] ArmyMan007: thats the root of your whole syste, [19:44] ActionParsnip__: it would be easy, but i got normal options such as /home, /boot and other stuff... [19:45] ActionParsnip__: dmesg | tail : http://pastebin.org/77795 [19:45] apipkin: one for php CLI and one for apache mod [19:45] ArmyMan007: if its a system based partition then it will need mounting to the relevant place, if its user data it can be mounted anywahere [19:45] CaptainJones, I think it just becomes a pain when you update the kernel is all [19:45] How can i add one printer with USB to my Ubuntu 9.10 system? [19:45] windows = .exe, linux = ? [19:45] Ascavasaion: " MX mail.oak-leaf.co.za" [19:45] and when i do php -i | grep include i'm getting results from the cli/php.ini [19:46] ActionParsnip__: i mounted it as / [19:46] MaT-dg: [sdb] READ CAPACITY failed doesnt look good [19:46] Hilikus: i mounted it as / [19:46] jami when i iwconfig to a new essid, then dhclient it trys obtaining the same ip stack from my home wifi [19:46] that's why i wasn't seeing the update [19:46] maverick: depends on distro... but usually just about anything. [19:46] apipkin: yes [19:46] maverick: [19:46] dotblank: can I pm you I actualy newb in linux [19:46] ArmyMan007: thats what it has to be [19:46] jami: makes perfect sense :) [19:46] CaptainJones, sure [19:46] jami: the smb will only let me connect as guest.

[20:13] minimec: thanks [20:13] Another question: I installed Ubuntu server to a system with a AMD Geode processor. The german Ubuntu wiki says that a lot of problems occur because of a wrong kernel. It tells to install "linux-386" instead of "linux-generic". But I have no problems so far (installation complete, system running). I wonder if it is a good idea to change the kernel?

[20:25] ActionParsnip__, i can see full directory in / [20:25] thanks, ill check it out [20:25] EsatYuce: you need to use chmod +x to mark the file as executable. then run it as your user, you will be prompted for your sudo password later in the install [20:25] <__raven> ActionParsnip__, it's me again - it seems that unison does not delete deleted files on the other pc - what could be the problem/setting?

[20:29] fluxw0rm: ... [20:29] Everytime I try to boot into a text mode login, I get "ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode" :/ [20:29] fluxw0rm: we're here to try to help if you tell us what they are [20:29] fluxw0rm: ubuntu is a distro of linux so is the same thing [20:29] !ask | fluxw0rm [20:29] fluxw0rm: 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. :-) [20:29] flux, can u help me with my wireless card??? [20:30] Well I meant for example, Ubuntu way as in it uses rc-sys file instead of /etc/inittab. [20:30] fluxw0rm: many distros use that now [20:30] fluxw0rm: ubuntu uses upstart instead of sysvinit you mean [20:30] On a fresh install of ubuntu suspend and wake work great but on after a few days it will finally freeze keyboard and touchpad on a wake and I have to force restart and then every other time I try to boot I get a lid argument error and and have to reset 2 to 3 times to get back into ubuntu. is a file getting corupted ? is it something I can fix? I dont want to keep reinstalling everytime it starts doing this really bad [20:30] ActionParsnip__,: i run this command in terminal:~$ cd /hplip-3.9.12; chmod +x ./*; ./hpl [20:31] EsatYuce: i dont have that folder or file so it wont work [20:31] i do not have any cds to burng an iso on but i have a 500 mb thumb drive, is it possible to use this in some fashion to dual boot my machine and get ubuntu on it? i am also considering the wooby route but want to know if there is a way to offically dual boot my machine [20:31] fluxw0rm: The init scripts/milestones are different in most unix-like operating systems. You may read a little about it and learn the differences between Debian-style init, Red Hat-style init, and Unix milestones. There's plenty of stuff on the web. [20:31] EsatYuce: why you have downloaded to that folder is a complete mystery to me. why didnt you download to $HOME ? [20:31] !install > fission6 [20:31] fission6, please see my private message [20:31] ActionParsnip__, it said me this error: bash: cd: /hplip-3.9.12: No such file or directory [20:31] Yeah, clrg. I've been more custom to rc.d scripts. [20:31] I'll take a look at some docs. [20:31] EsatYuce, you're trying to cd to a folder in the root directory [20:32] EsatYuce: dont just run commands blindly, look at what is going on, if it isnt working then yo uwill be equipped to change it so that it DOES work [20:32] EsatYuce, What exactly was your command? [20:32] yea jrib does that cover my need of booting from a thumb drive off 500mb then dual booting and once in place upgrading to a full version of ubuntu [20:32] EsatYuce: you need to get the system to run chmod+x against it, then executed [20:32] EsatYuce: thats all it takes [20:32] !install > fission6 [20:32] fission6, please see my private message [20:32] fission6: it's full of alternatives for installing ubuntu. You may be able to use one of them [20:33] ActionParsnip__, : i understand nothing, thank for your help, [20:33] ok [20:33] What is wrong in the following VNC connection at http://dpaste.com/146576/ ? [20:33] fission6: a 500 MB flash drive won't be enough to do a normal install. If you have another computer available, you can install the system by booting via PXE and installing that way [20:33] EsatYuce: chmod +x make sthe file executable which it currently wont be [20:34] FireCrotch, fission6: you can probably do a minimal install [20:34] soopos: something at the remote end by the look of it. [20:34] i just found my old 8gig ipod, should i try to use this? [20:34] action do u know how could i compille my ralink rt2960 wireless card on ubuntu 9.10? [20:34] EsatYuce: You need to use the cd command to (C)hange (D)irectory to the place you downloaded the file to and then use the chmod file to mark it as executable [20:34] ActionParsnip__, i will try that, ok [20:35] I just installed a fresh version of 9.10 on this HTPC i built, for watever reason embedded divx video is choppy/blurry and just screwy overall. I've installed the restricted extras and its still messed up..... Has anyone had this issue, I'm sure its a simple fix but for some reason I cant figure it out. [20:35] lil help please [20:35] EsatYuce: you can use tab to autocomplete the file name, saves you typing the whole thing and possibly screwing it up [20:36] G'day guys. Can anyone help an Ubuntu noob with an audio issue please? [20:36] jrib: I've never been able to get the alternate installer to work properly from a flash drive, though the last time I tried was a couple of releases ago [20:36] Foul: whats the issue [20:36] FireCrotch: I admit I've only done it with debian [20:36] FireCrotch: do you think i can use my ipod 8gig some how? [20:37] fission6: jailbreak it [20:37] I just installed a fresh version of 9.10 on this HTPC i built, for watever reason embedded divx video is choppy/blurry and just screwy overall. I've installed the restricted extras and its still messed up..... Has anyone had this issue, I'm sure its a simple fix but for some reason I cant figure it out. Can someone point me in the right direction? [20:37] Hiya rahduke1. I'd like to get voice calls (i.e. through skype) working on my headset and other audio running through my speakers. I can't seem to get this to happen and I have a feeling it may be due to my sound card drivers? [20:37] can anybody tell me why my SMB wont accept my password / username from my osx machinea: i added a username and password (smbpasswd -a username) [20:37] jami: is that nessary [20:38] fission6: You would most likely render it unusable, since you need to format it and mark the first partition bootable. Why don't you just buy a 4GB thumb drive? They're not expensive (20 dollars at most) [20:38] cant i just format it [20:38] EvilPenguin|: are you connecting from osx using cifs:// or smb:// ? [20:38] cause i want to do this now [20:38] gatty: smb:// [20:38] cani get a minimal instlall on a 500 thumb and then upgrade to full version once i get things bottable [20:38] gatty: i can see my drives also. [20:38] can anyone tel me how to reset root settings [20:38] rahduke1: did you install / configure video drivers? [20:38] Foul: im not really that familiar with headsets/skype, have u checked the sound preferences and made sure that your volume is set correctly.... hardware input output et al? [20:38] fission6: If it's worth the risk, try formatting your iPod. [20:38] On a fresh install of ubuntu suspend and wake work great but on after a few days it will finally freeze keyboard and touchpad on a wake and I have to force restart and then every other time I try to boot I get a lid argument error and and have to reset 2 to 3 times to get back into ubuntu. is a file getting corupted ? is it something I can fix? I dont want to keep reinstalling everytime it starts doing this really bad. and wh [20:38] at would cause it to freeze after several days of working fine? [20:38] gatty: i just cant login and use them, access, read, write. [20:39] EvilPenguin|: try cifs:// - if that doesn't work, check the logs on the samba server [20:39] ActionParsnip__: yes got the latest nvidia driver, even have VDPAU running [20:39] rahduke1: from the nvidia ppa? [20:39] should I use LVM for ubuntu installations? [20:39] gatty: nothing logs in the server [20:39] rahduke1: have you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras ? [20:39] ok so there is no reasonable way to use the 500 mb to get a minimal install [20:39] rahduke1: do you use mplayer? cause this player gives you a lot of output [20:39] rahduke1: Yeah I looked through the sound device preferences for ubuntu. They all work but I can't get voice through my headset and other audio (i.e. mp3s) through my speakers. [20:39] ActionParsnip__: originally yes, but i actually needed a slightly older driver to correct for overscan, so i installed from nvidia directly and yes I\ve installed restricted extras [20:39] !minimal | fission6 [20:39] fission6: 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 [20:40] fission6: you can try using the Minimal CD image [20:40] EvilPenguin|: so turn up the logging level in smb.conf, restart samba and try again, then look to see what it says. [20:40] Foul: have u tried alsamixer from terminal? [20:40] can anyone tell me how to reset root settings? [20:40] rahduke1: then i got nothing, sounds perfect to me [20:40] k. [20:40] oh and there is no way to use a network install or is that risky [20:40] quinn: be more specific. [20:40] quinn: can you define "root settings" [20:40] rahduke1: nope. I'm a complete noob. How would I go about doing this? [20:40] ActionParsnip__: its weird man, its really pissin me off [20:40] Foul: open a terminal and type alsamixer [20:40] gatty: logging level is under what ID in smb.conf? [20:41] I [20:41] Foul: u will get lots more options for volume control, if something isnt turned on type M and it will enable it [20:41] ActionPArsnip__: As it root is the core user, i want to reset it [20:41] ok guys i have a quick ? about how to stop the DE in UNR [20:41] fission6: You can do a network install. You'll need another computer running a PXE server and tftp server [20:41] rahduke1: ooh this looks evil. I'll have a quick look. [20:41] EvilPenguin|: debug level [20:41] so can i use the minimal.iso, put that on my usb 500mb drive using the same method for a normally usb install, than come back later and upgrade to full [20:41] ActionParsnip__: do u think i need to reboot to have the restricted extras kick in? [20:41] quinn: if its the gnome settings you can boot to root recovery mode and delete (or rename) all ~/.g* folders then boot, you will get stock gnome settings [20:42] rahduke1: dont think so but costs nothing to try [20:42] I'm looking for an all in one linux DVD, one which has set of all usual apps and also includes restricted stuff so that I can directly install it on multiple machines and not worry about upgrading individually with stuff. please suggest me something [20:42] Does Anyone know why my screensaver doesnt activate? [20:42] fission6: the minimal iso will have you select what packages to install, you can just choose to install ubuntu-desktop, and it will download all the required packages [20:42] gautham, if you're comfortable in Openbox, the Crunchbang CD comes with all of the codecs and the like. [20:42] FireCrotch: kinda defeats the object of the minimal install [20:43] can i use the minimal iso image on a thumb drive though, cause again, i do not have any cds [20:43] does anyone know how to force VESA driver or get your screen to where it is 1280x1024? [20:43] ActionParsnip__, not if the object of the minimal install was to fit in less space than the full CD> [20:43] Mefached: don't care about interface. does it come with gimp, gparted, openoffice and stuff ? [20:43] ActionParsnip__: Not when the purpose of using it is that you don't have a disc/big enough flash drive [20:43] ActionParsnip__: the choppiness is actually just in xbmc on the web videos look fine, guess ill head over to that chan [20:43] fission6: if you install xfce4 you will get a minimal xfce desktop, or you can install fluxbox to get another minimal desktop [20:43] hi [20:43] i'm trying to play world of warcraft on ubuntu 9.10 and when i launch wow.exe with wine it changes my resolution, then logs me out. anyone have experience with gaming in linux? [20:43] FireCrotch: but installing ubuntu desktop will install the same amount as a desktop install from cd [20:43] i have a quick ? about how to stop the Desktop Environment in Ubuntu Netbook Remix [20:43] how do I tell the manufacturer of my wireless card? [20:43] question about my video. when i was running winxp on this computer i could full screen videos, no issue. now ive changed over to ubuntu 9.10 and i cant watch full screen videos or my vids are choppy. help? [20:44] ActionParsnip__: How do you boot into recovery mode? [20:44] skiwithpete: lspci [20:44] CAPcap: what type of video, what video player, what cpu? [20:44] tawd: /join #winehq [20:44] quinn: choose the recovery mode from grub, then select root [20:44] ActionParsnip__, yes, exactly. The full install doesn't fit on the CD. [20:44] thanks blakk [20:44] thanks blakkheim [20:44] will do [20:44] ok ai am going to try this crazy method, i just want to verify that using the minimal cd iso is something i can still put on a usb [20:44] And what other options do I have ? How about ultimate edition or mint ? [20:45] fission6: i've used the mini.iso on a usb drive [20:45] I am looking for max softies on a disc [20:45] ActionParsnip__: How do you get into grub? [20:45] gautham: create your own livecd with only what you want [20:45] doesnt seem to matter if its in the native media player or any kind of online player. DVDs or saved files.... [20:45] Mefached: true but it doesnt make a nice small install, if you install xfce4 then you wont get all the usual bloat which makes up a standard ubuntu install [20:45] GNAA GNAA GNAA GNAA GNAA GNAA GNAA GNAA GNAA [20:45] GNAA GNAA GNAA GNAA GNAA GNAA GNAA GNAA GNAA [20:45] GNAA GNAA GNAA GNAA GNAA GNAA GNAA GNAA GNAA [20:45] rBX: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[20:46] maco: sorry bro [20:46] an op should set +R in here [20:46] blakkheim: can't do that since I don't have much time. Just enough time to download ISO and then install it while I travel onto my laptop [20:46] can i use that on windows [20:46] blakkheim: and I don't have ubuntu installed right now either [20:46] does anyone know how to force VESA driver or get your display to 1280x1024?

[20:47] ranrunner: you also dont need the keyboard / mouse sections [20:48] ranrunner: take the sections out and remove the refs in the server section [20:48] ranrunner, VESA doesn't support 1280x1024 [20:48] Mefached, depends on the hardware [20:48] so ActionParsnip__, do u think u could go through it???? its http://pastebin.com/m50745698, that is the error i am getting [20:48] FireCrotch: its asking me for which distrobution, and i dont have an option to choose minimal, should i just select 9.10 and then just select the minimal.iso? [20:48] Mefached: it will if you tell it [20:48] actionparsnip: i know, i am just trying to tune my screen up [20:48] mefached: yes it does [20:48] fission6: download the mini iso and choose it [20:48] fission6: Download the minimal iso from the ubuntu website [20:48] @skinnymg1 sudo stop gdm [20:49] fission6: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [20:49] i ran 'md5 my-50gb-file' 2 minutes ago and it's still processing. is it supposed to take that long? [20:49] this is a realllly fast computer [20:49] no, i did that but unetbootin is asking for what distro and i can not selecty minimal [20:49] i have the iso [20:49] fission6: some of those iso's may not work properly with unetbootin. Ive heard the server iso also has issues.. Not sure on the minimal cd. [20:49] @skinnymg1 sudo stop gdm [20:49] infid: go for a coffee [20:49] fission6: choose the option UNDER the select distribution [20:49] llutz how long should it take? [20:50] Dr_Willis: i've used mini with it, works fine [20:50] fission6: you don't have to choose a distribution at the top [20:50] fission6: you can just point it at the iso and let it go. if you select teh disrto it tries to download that disrto.iso [20:50] infid: "long", don't know how long [20:50] blakkheim: ok. :) ive never tried it. [20:50] d4n1: Checksum mismatch for impact32.exe, aborting! is the issue, looks like its being synced or is missing [20:50] What does happen if you type your subkey's password wrong in Mutt? - It gives me no notice. [20:50] infid: yes, 50Gb will take a while [20:50] yeah === hiffy_ is now known as hiffy [20:50] but what can i do? [20:51] ok here goes nothing [20:51] d4n1: you can download it yourself and place it where it is expected i guess [20:51] k [20:51] extracting and copying giles [20:51] files* [20:51] ActionParsnip__, should i change software sources, and if i do, wouldn't that have a negative effect on my system? [20:52] ok UNetbootin is asking me to reboot now, should i got for it or do i want to do anything else first [20:52] Is there a way to remotely access a computer on the network that doesn't have a display (and hence has no user logged in). Kind of like RDP in windows? [20:52] What options do I have now ? I want a distro with GIMP, Build Essentials, Open Office and Multimedia Playback Capability out of box [20:52] Asad-away: ssh [20:53] question about my video. when i was running winxp on this computer i could full screen videos, no issue. now ive changed over to ubuntu 9.10 and i cant watch full screen videos or my vids are choppy. help? doesnt seem to matter if its in the native media player or any kind of online player. DVDs or saved files. Im running a Dell Inspiron 600m Laptop. Processor: Intel Pentium M 1.6Ghz Video Card: ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 64MB. 1GB RAM [20:53] is 6gb partition going to be a wise place to install my linux partition [20:53] blakkheim: Well, is there a way to have a GUI sharing like windows does? Each user logs into his / her own account. [20:53] x forwarding? [20:53] Asad-away: you could try vnc. i'm not sure, i don't use GUI much. ssh has an X forwarding option. [20:54] http://www.zolved.com/synapse/view_content/28158/Remote_Login_via_XDMCP_on_Ubuntu that's how I used to do it. But ubuntu changed a lot. [20:54] llutz and ActionParsnip__ you can have a progress bar if you do 'pv file | md5sum' [20:54] FireCrotch: ii am going to place the full ubuntu 9.10 on a 6gb partition is this enough [20:54] fission6: you should be all set to go, if unetbootin is done. Just make sure that if the computer is a laptop, you're plugged into the network via a cable [20:54] llutz it's eta is 35 minutes [20:54] fission6: yes [20:55] infid: i know, but i don't need it [20:55] fission6: 6GB is enough for Ubuntu, yes [20:55] nice here i GO, when i return ill be happy or sad either way, i have a boner, bbl thanks for everyones help [20:55] is there a way to check what video card i have? the one u just said doesnt look right to me [20:55] CAPcap: can you give me the output of 'lspci | grep VGA' [20:55] CAPcap: sudo lshw -C video i think [20:55] !tmi | fission6 [20:55] fission6: Um thanks... We *really* did not need to know that... [20:55] how can i figure out my video drivers? [20:55] @everybody does changing your software sources have a bad effect on your system [20:55] My wife's computer has 2gig of ram, and 1Gig of swap space, and it frequently uses all of that up. Is this typical for a desktop? [20:55] Renfield: why on EARTH did you make 16gb of swap? [20:56] d4n1: changeing from what to what? picking differnt official repos shouldent have any affect. [20:56] blakkheim: That says 1Gig. [20:56] ok [20:56] Renfield: oh haha i misread it my bad [20:56] d4n1: its different [20:56] Renfield: sorry bout that [20:56] like form us server ot official server? [20:56] i have the same setup and no, i rarely use over 25% of my ram [20:56] Hmmmm. [20:57] minimec "01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV250 [Mobility FireGL 9000] (rev 02) [20:57] : [20:57] Right now, Xorg says 1.2g resident. [20:57] Renfield, well, you should have more swap than physical RAM as a general rule. [20:57] Yea, I thought that rule was back when ram was in the hundreds of megs. [20:57] Hi, how to put a password on ad-hoc network connection (made using iwconfig) from commandline? [20:58] Mefached, Renfield: Having more swap than RAM is no longer necessary, in my opinion, with machines with 2GB or more of RAM [20:58] Renfield: If you have swap size >= ram size, you can hibernate [20:58] *unless you want to use hibernate mode === saulus is now known as SauLus [20:59] Oh, well that's not a feature that I want. [20:59] FireCrotch: Hibernate crash if your swap is smaller than the mem [20:59] d4n1: its proberlybest to use a server local to yourself. [20:59] if i make my swap = to my ram size i can hibernate? [21:00] tawd: thats the theory these days.. :) [21:00] tawd: yes [21:00] well Dr_Willis, which could i use, im far from anything really [21:00] sweet! i might get on gparted sometime and fix that [21:00] d4n1: thers tools out that can ping/show/test and show the fastest servers.. somewhere.. i forget the name [21:00] It seems crazy, the amount of memory these programs are using 751M for Pidgin, 698M for Firefox, 416M for Evolution-alarm, 381M for Evolution-data... [21:00] CAPcap: ok. Thx. You could try to activate kms features. Create a file in /etc/modprobe.d/radeon.conf with this line in it 'options radeon modeset=1' (without '') then 'sudo update-initramfs -u -k all', then reboot. [21:01] Renfield: how the hell is pidgin using that much memory? [21:01] Pidgin is just an IM client, why does it use 751M of virtual memory? [21:01] FireCrotch: That's what I'd like to know. [21:01] It could be showing the shared libs for each progam [21:01] Dr_Willis: well, i think i could google that, but what exactly am i looking for? [21:01] ummm what? [21:01] I'm looking at this information from 'top'. [21:01] CAPcap: sudo update-initramfs -u -k all in a console, not in the radeon.conf file ;) [21:01] Renfield: Mine is using 100MB [21:01] Sorted by resident memory. [21:01] d4n1: 'select fastest repo ubuntu' perhaps [21:01] FireCrotch: What are you using to view that information? Top also? [21:02] Renfield: yes [21:02] well that was anticlimactic , my bios doesnt appear to let me boot form usb, nothing happened when i restared and i co uldnt select usb in bio boot [21:02] Dr_Willis: Thanks, ill try that, but do u think it would really matter, i get like 15kbps anyways [21:02] CAPcap: Please... No private messages... [21:02] ok... [21:02] Renfield: perhaps a plugin you hae enabled is affecting it? [21:02] d4n1: proberly not then [21:03] if i make swap >= ram, would that also possibly fix suspend as well? [21:03] Dr_Willis: lol, not everybody has a good internet connection [21:03] cowbud: I'll have to take a look. [21:03] tawd: nope. suspend doesn't use swap at all [21:03] Dr_Willis: Although i usually get B/s when updating [21:03] ^_^ [21:03] FireCrotch: you're actually backwards.. suspend does use RAM and hibernate writes to disk [21:04] CAPcap: You need to create a file in the folder /etc/modprobe.d (I named mine radeon.conf). In this file there is one single line... options radeon modeset=1 [21:04] FireCrotch: "suspend2disk" uses swap [21:04] llutz: that's hibernate :) [21:04] FireCrotch: "suspend2disk", hibernate is windows :) [21:04] CAPcap: ... then save that file in /etc/modprobe.d/ and do 'sudo update-initramfs -u -k all' in a console... [21:05] llutz: funny, my option is called "hibernate" as well [21:05] tawd: No, they're not related. Suspend shuts down your computer, except keeps the RAM going. Hibernate copies RAM to Swap and turns your computer completely off. === zynox is now known as freenode [21:05] llutz: not necessarily - looking at my menu [21:05] where is /etc? [21:05] CAPcap: ... then reboot. [21:05] FireCrotch: multiple expressions for same things [21:05] llutz, I can't find suspend2disk command! its an extra package? [21:05] greetings earthlings [21:05] ty geirha === freenode is now known as Guest50983 [21:06] nvm i found it, now what is this doing exactly minimec? [21:06] test [21:06] Parabola: not here please [21:06] and if it messes something up, can i undo it? [21:06] lol [21:06] how can i chat from the terminal? [21:07] tawd: install irssi or weechat [21:07] tawd: use irssi [21:07] tawd: use irssi [21:07] sudo apt-get install irssi ? [21:07] tawd: yes [21:07] use bitchx [21:07] sudo apt-get install windows [21:07] xD [21:07] irssi, or weechat, or bitchx. I perfer 'weechat' tawd [21:07] sorry i just had to be different >< [21:07] there is a windows software repository now [21:07] getit is what it is called [21:07] lol [21:08] !ot | syrius [21:08] syrius: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [21:08] tawd: be warned that irssi can be a little... weird... if you're used to graphical clients. hard to get used to [21:08] Midnight_Owl: bitchx isn't supported anymore, please don't recommend it, thanks. [21:08] i never heard of weechat before, i'll have to check it out [21:08] CAPcap: This will activate 'kms' KernelModeSettings for the ATI driver. Tha should give you a little bit of extra speed. You can also read this, as I wrote a comment for a bug. It might interest you... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/413259/comments/30 [21:08] http://quadpoint.org/articles/irssi http://irssi.org/ tawd are some good sites to check out [21:08] its not ? [21:08] irssi is cool [21:08] o.o [21:08] Im not sure how well BitchX was ever supported... [21:09] is weechat similar to irssi? [21:09] Midnight_Owl: No, it hasn't been for a few years now. [21:09] WeeChat has some very nice features in the 0.3.x versions [21:09] asd [21:09] hi back [21:09] saptech: all text/cli based irc clients are similer. :) [21:09] I've never been to cool with chatting from terminal anyway. [21:10] I just stick with xchat or kvirc [21:10] Midnight_Owl: why's that? [21:10] ok [21:10] yes kinda weird then, compared to gui [21:10] I've just yesterday switched from kubuntu to ubuntu [21:10] uninstalled all kde packages [21:10] man i hated it [21:10] why using a gui for text-based things like irc? [21:11] minimec, if this messes something up can I undo it somehow? [21:11] llutz: agreed, but then people use a GUI text editor.. lol :/ [21:11] moment [21:11] i like nano editor [21:12] how bad would it be to take the wooby route and install to my 6gb partition? [21:12] blakkheim: guis are fine, but not for everything (imho) [21:12] for programing i use scite [21:12] CAPcap: Yes. You can reboot in recovery mode and then 'sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/radeon.conf and put a '#' in front of the line and save. Then reboot. [21:12] llutz: i pretty much live in the cli [21:12] hello === Strife1989 is now known as Strife89 [21:12] ok. how do i create this .conf file? [21:12] CAPcap: But it should work. You will see that the console font is getting much smaller, that's all. [21:13] anyhone heard of gmane ? [21:13] I can't seem to use transcode to rip audio from dvd to .ogg - It works to .mp3 though, but I was wondering if it was a bug ? [21:13] macman_: hear what? [21:13] CAPcap: gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/radeon.conf [21:13] heard [21:14] am i loosing much by just going forward and installing Wooby to a 6gb partition rathen than having a true dual boot [21:14] guys, if i want to revoke a whole keyring, should i revoke subkey and then master key? or simply master? i can do both things, and i'm not sure what to do [21:14] * Dr_Willis wonders what Woobly is. [21:15] Dr_Willis: is that a hint that ill regret it [21:15] where can i go to download an ATI video driver for 9.10 ? [21:15] tawd: Which card do you have? [21:15] fission6: I believe you can convert a wubi installation to a regular installation, if you choose to go that route [21:16] how to i tell? [21:16] i put "options radeon modeset=1" in the file (without quotes)? [21:16] tawd: lspci|grep VGA [21:16] I use this line $ transcode -i /dev/dvd -x dvd,dvd -T 3,1,1 -a 1 -y null,ogg -m track.ogg [21:16] no output [21:16] CAPcap: without '' [21:16] fission6: ive never heard of Woobly.. I have heard of Wubi. I reccomend a normal install over 'wubi' [21:16] tawd: Does lspci work by itself? [21:16] But nothing ever happens, it doesn't go through the decryption... [21:17] yes [21:17] Dr_Willis: wubi + wobbly windows maybe *brrrrr* [21:17] tawd: Can you pastebin the output of it to pastebin.com? [21:17] then put sudo update-initramfs -u -k all in the terminal then reboot my computer? [21:17] fission6: http://wubi-installer.org/faq.php#requirements [21:18] soreau http://pastebin.com/m256fbde1 [21:18] CAPcap: exactly [21:18] thanks minimec [21:18] CAPcap: Let's hope for the best ... [21:18] yeah lets === Bwaah is now known as Gaseum [21:18] tawd: Well you must have typoed the command. It's 'lspci|grep VGA' but anyway, you have a 200M [21:19] tawd: This means your drivers should already be installed and working. What does 'glxinfo|grep renderer' say? [21:19] soreau Xlib: extension "ATIFGLRXDRI" missing on display ":0.0". [21:19] FireCrotch: http://lubi.sourceforge.net/lvpm.html is that what you mean by moving to a regular install? [21:20] fission6: precisely [21:20] soreau, i can get ccsm to work perfectly, i just can't game in ubuntu yet [21:20] tawd: Why did you install fglrx? The proprietary driver no longer supports your card. Completely remove fglrx from the system and reboot === Gaseum is now known as Bwaah [21:20] cool ok i am going to try and install the normal way then use that method [21:21] soreau what is fglrx? [21:21] tawd: fglrx is the ati proprietary driver. It is only for r6-7xx cards like HD3xxx and later series [21:22] tawd: Can you pastebin the output of 'dpkg -l|grep fglrx'? [21:22] hi [21:22] soreau http://pastebin.com/m67f04c25 [21:23] is there a channel dedicated to the indicator applet? [21:23] I have a logitech 9000 quickcam pro that works with skype just by plug and play, but I can't get my built in microphone to work on my laptop. any input? [21:23] does anyone know how to use usermod to add the currently logged in user to the group video, without really knowing the name of the user? i try to write a script for this [21:23] ssn dosent the $user vaiable show the user.. or was it $USER [21:23] I've set up my new wlan (using WPA2), my wlan interface is working, since the network manager applet lists available wifi networks.. the issue is that it doesn't connect.. I've doubled checked passwords and passphrases and it all seems correct.. [21:24] echo $USER [21:24] willis [21:24] tawd: Right, so you need to completely remove all of those packages listed with the 'ii' next to them then reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx and libgl1-mesa-dri and reboot the machine [21:25] soreau, ok, how would i do that, synaptic? [21:26] How do I change the theme in Grub2? [21:26] tawd: You can use synaptic or 'sudo apt-get remove --purge xorg-driver-fglrx fglrx-modaliases fglrx-kernel-source fglrx-amdcccle && sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri' [21:27] SealedWithAKiss: you can change/make a background for grub2. but at this time grub2 in ubuntu does not support the g Theaming features. [21:27] Dr_Willis, how do I configure a background? [21:27] !grub2 | SealedWithAKiss [21:27] SealedWithAKiss: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [21:28] SealedWithAKiss: make a proper image, or install some of the premade ones. and alter the grub2 configs. rerun updategrub. [21:28] soreau ok, the command finished, i'm going to reboot === Bwaah is now known as Gaseum [21:29] Hmm.. maybe should have told him to remove fglrx from xorg.conf [21:31] The hardware drivers window states that my ATI drivers are activates, but not in use. How do I make sure that the OS uses the ATI drivers for my graphics card? At the moment I cannot use enhanced desktop effects etc.. [21:31] soreau i'm back [21:31] activated* === mac9416_ is now known as mac9416 [21:32] minimec. can i backdoor the change? Im booted from a LiveCD right now because nothing shows up on screen even in recovery mode [21:32] i need to undo it [21:32] SealedWithAKiss: you'll want them to be force-enabled in /etc/X11/xorg.conf [21:33] SealedWithAKiss: what is your exact video card? ATI has slowly been removing support for many cards from the fglrx drivers [21:33] tawd: I failed to tell you to do sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak [21:33] what's the fastest way to email? [21:33] Dr_Willis, ATI Radeon 4670 HD. [21:33] CAPcap: That is strange... Well as I said ... open the fole /etc/modprobe.d/radeon.conf and put an '#' in front of the line and save. then reboot. [21:33] tawd: After you run that, just log out to restart X === Gaseum is now known as Bwaah [21:33] SealedWithAKiss: You may want to check the !ati factoid/wiki pages to see how well that card is supported. I dont use ati any more [21:33] nothing in the terminal? [21:34] soreau ok, be right back [21:34] !ati [21:34] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [21:34] wait, how am i supposed to access that, everything refs the live CD dont they? [21:34] CAPcap: Nope That should do. Otherwise, you have to do the initramfs thing when you boot the system in recovery mode. [21:35] soreau back [21:35] CAPcap: But I think that is not necessaey. [21:35] Dr_Willis: Actually, fglrx dropped support for all r3-5xx cards at once. Its wasnt a slow process and they arent dropping any more for now [21:35] tawd: Ok now what does glxinfo|grep renderer say? [21:35] ok my issue still is i dont know how to locate the file now that im on the lve CD [21:36] soreau OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI R300 (RS400 5975) 20090101 NO-TCL [21:36] tawd: Yay, you have 3D working now [21:36] soreau ok, so now i can game in ubuntu? [21:36] tawd: Sure [21:36] soreau :) going to try wine for a sec [21:36] nvm i found it, i need to put # in front of that line you say? [21:37] Dr_Willis, that's far too complex for a novice like myself. [21:37] minimec, is there a space between the # and the line or does it touch the first word? [21:37] Dr_Willis, everything was okay before I upgraded to Karmic. [21:37] CAPcap: You can always boot in recovery mode. press 'left shift' before Grub loads, then choose recovery kernel and boot in to a root command line, then 'nano /etc/modrpobe.d/radeon.conf', then '#' ... [21:38] CAPcap: kame a space. [21:38] SealedWithAKiss: Just check sys>admin>hardware drivers to see the status of your graphics drivers [21:38] Dr_Willis, now the ATI drivers aren't loading. [21:38] soreau, activated but not in use. [21:38] kame? [21:38] SealedWithAKiss: What is the output of grep fglrx /etc/X11/xorg.conf [21:38] SealedWithAKiss: all i can say is that its possible that ATI dropped support for your card in the new drivers. Thats the extent of my ATI knowledge. Oterhs in here may know specifics [21:38] CAPcap: it doesn't matter, but you can put a space there after the #. [21:39] network manager does not manage my wired and wireless networks anymore. how can i make it manage them? [21:39] Dr_Willis: No, fglrx supports r6-7xx seres. He has an rv7xx [21:39] nvm i cant save it from here [21:39] soreau, Driver "fglrx". That driver isn't compatible with my card. [21:39] what option do i use to boot? [21:39] hey guys. i want to be able to see if i have a message waiting in my indicator message applet, but i don't see an indication OTHER than if i click on the envelope. is there a way? [21:40] soreau :( i launched wow.exe and it changed my resolution and then restarted X. no change from before [21:40] burg, did you ever manually edit or remove anything in /etc/network/interfaces? [21:40] SealedWithAKiss: What is the output of glxinfo|grep VGA [21:40] SealedWithAKiss: What is the output of lspci|grep VGA [21:40] morphix, no. that happened after a restart [21:40] getting my commands mixed up [21:41] tawd: Well that card isnt very high end so I wouldnt expect much out of it [21:41] tawd: Try something like compiz [21:41] ! pm | SealedWithAKiss [21:41] SealedWithAKiss: 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.

I didn't want to flood the channel. [21:42] SealedWithAKiss: fglrx does support your card [21:42] SealedWithAKiss: If you dont want to flood the channel use a pastein service [21:43] soreau, if my card is support why do I only have basic effects? I can't even scroll my browser down with a shuddering effect. [21:43] On startup I get a message that my /boot filesystem (ext2) contains unexpected inconsistency (http://paste.ubuntu.com/358211/). I mounted the partition with ro option (mount -o ro /dev/sda1) and tried fsck -f /dev/sda1. I get the message that 2.4% is non-contiguous (http://paste.ubuntu.com/358216/). What can I do to solve this problem? Or where can I find more information? And would ext3/ext4 be better for a server? [21:43] hi [21:43] SealedWithAKiss: fglrx is not installed properly [21:44] Powderking: ext3 is always better then ext2 if you are not using a SSD [21:44] question: i have 2 gtx 285: is there a way to make it SLI ? [21:44] SealedWithAKiss: If you tried to install the .run file from amd that probably messed it up [21:44] iceroot: I'm using a CF card. [21:44] Powderking: then ext2 is better [21:44] soreau, okay that makes sense. I haven't used fglrc before, I downloaded some drivers from ATI and installed them using a .run file. [21:44] Powderking: better for the hardware === Bwaah is now known as FatAlbert [21:45] iceroot: Ok then the problem is not because of the filesystem. How can I repair that? Or is it not possible? [21:45] soreau, what I don't understand is why the drivers I have always used would work with previous distributions and not newer ones? [21:45] SealedWithAKiss: Yea, that screwed things up. There should be an uninstall script in /usr/share/ati to undo whatever it did, then you can use the correct way to install them which is sys>admin>hardware drivers [21:46] question: i have 2 gtx 285: is there a way to make it SLI ? [21:46] soreau, okay then I'll give that a shot. [21:46] Powderking: ext3 is always better then ext2 if you are not using a SSD <<< what would be the reason for ext3 not being 'better' for a SSD? [21:46] Powderking: the problem may be the filesystem, because ext2 dont use a journal [21:46] SealedWithAKiss: the ATI drivers work by generating Ubuntu version-specific .deb packages, the .run file just shouts complaints if you try and make packages for Karmic (9.10) for unsupported hardware [21:46] morphix: journal [21:46] morphix, http://codepad.org/MCm9Vxgi - i have the same contents in that file on another machine, and that works just fine [21:47] morphix: which is writting much more often to the drive and a SSD cant handle unlimit write-processes [21:47] What is Ubuntu's default sendmail -program? [21:47] iceroot: i have no problem installing latest nvidia driver [21:47] i'm having trouble accessing https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+search?text=kdm, just me or anybody else? [21:47] iceroot: Is backing up the files, repartitioning and restoring the data a possible solution? [21:47] hi. is there a command option for 'ls' to have directories float on top of the list like many file managers do? [21:47] but i want to nkow how to make it SLi [21:47] soopos: mta? (postfix) or client? (evolution) [21:47] i have 2 cards [21:48] iceroot, is there any disadvantages for using ext2 on SSD? [21:48] soreau, there's a file named fglrx-uninstall.sh [21:48] morphix: yes, the missing journal [21:48] compared to normal HDD on ext3 [21:48] iceroot: the one which sends emails, server one likely [21:48] morphix, that happened to me before on another pc, only with wired network. i had to edit a file, but can`t remember which one [21:48] soopos: postfix [21:48] soreau, should I run that file to perform the uninstallation? [21:48] is there a command i can run from cli to display the monitor hooked up to my video card [21:48] burg, remove the "iface eth0/wlan0 inet manual" lines [21:48] Powderking: i guess there is a way with fsck but dont know how to do, sorry [21:49] iceroot: Do you need it if you just send an email from your computer? Cannot you use gmail's server for that? [21:49] When I change my kernel framebuffer in /etc/defaults/grub "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="vga=791" and update-grub, I just get a black screen. Any ideas? [21:49] iceroot: Thx anyway for your help :-) [21:49] iceroot, but doesnt the new SSD have a 3-4 year life span even when using 24/7 ? [21:49] soopos: you want a client then, like thunderbird or evolution [21:49] newer* [21:49] is this an sli command ?: sudo nvidia-xconfig --sli=on [21:49] iceroot: I use mutt. [21:49] SealedWithAKiss: The uninstall script, yes [21:49] morphix: my ssd was dying after 5 months (using it as swap-drive) [21:49] minimec, cannot edit file from live cd. opened command on boot, says error unknown command nano [21:50] i installed 9.04 on my ps3, no problems. installed all updates, no problems. Upgraded to 9.10, no problems until reboot. after reboot, my mouse doesnt work anymore. keyboard still works fine, but not mouse. any suggestions? [21:50] soopos: yes and the default in ubuntu is evolution [21:50] hello guys [21:50] I have started a support channel for people with depression, where other depressed people can talk to each other. It is #depressed on freenode. So if any of you are feeling depressed, drop in. [21:50] soopos: so you want a client, not a server [21:50] morphix, done. do i need a restart? [21:50] iceroot, well i would only be using as the main OS, the swap and /home would be mounted on a normal HDD [21:50] sorry for the ad, but this isn't related to linux so i thought it would be OK [21:50] question: if i press ctr+alt+f1. let say i do something...how do i start the gui screen again? [21:50] burg, try a logout and log back in and test, if not, then restart [21:50] morphix: my eeepc dont have a normal hdd [21:51] phong_: ctrl + alt +f7 [21:51] phong_, ususally ctrl+alt+f7 [21:51] iceroot, ah, not enough ram? [21:51] i said, if i'm in a text mode ....i want to go to windows mode [21:51] how would it be? [21:51] morphix: there is always not enough ram :) [21:51] how do i fix my mouse not working? [21:51] /usr/init.d/gdm start ?? [21:51] is that right? [21:51] i just upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 and the mouse doenst work now [21:51] iceroot: Evolution is a graphical application? [21:52] SealedWithAKiss: After that, you want to remove the driver then reinstall it using jockey-gtk (sys>admin>hardware drivers) [21:52] iceroot: client? [21:52] phong_: its called /etc/init.d/gdm start [21:52] hey guys, help me out, minimec screwed up my computer [21:52] APT question: Will I ever come across a package that exists only as a provide? Am I wrong in thinking a package must exists as a stand-alone in order to be provided by another package? [21:52] soopos: yes, its a graphical client [21:52] CAPcap: nano should be installed by default. Do you have an internet connection? [21:52] soreau, I have ran the script. It's uninstalled. Now I want to remove the driver? Which driver? [21:52] yes i do [21:52] SealedWithAKiss: After that, you want to remove the driver then reinstall it using jockey-gtk (sys>admin>hardware drivers) [21:52] ctrl+alt+f7 do nothing man [21:52] phong_: but that is starting the gui, you asked how to switch back which is ctrl + alt + f7 [21:52] soreau, sorry about my lack of understanding. [21:52] ctrl+alt+f1 only willd o that [21:52] iceroot, ah well that sucks, my laptop has 2gb of ram, no need for swap, i've never had a problems without it so far [21:52] hey, is anyone here familiar with mpgtx? [21:53] CAPcap: YOu can always edit the file with the live cd when you gksudo gedit with the live CD. [21:53] !anyone | iamringo87 [21:53] iamringo87: 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? [21:53] ok minimec [21:53] soreau, do you mean that I have to uninstall another driver on top of the one I just uninstalled? [21:53] is there a command i can run from cli to display the monitor hooked up to my video card [21:53] CAPcap: SUdo apt-get install nano [21:53] oh yeah [21:53] it bring back [21:53] I'm finding that sometimes after I split an mpeg with it, it indexes the file improperly...like it'll be 18 mion long but a player will say it's 1.5hrs, so I can't upload it to various video sites...is there a way to re-index videos? [21:53] soreau, or just run the command you gave now? [21:53] CAPcap: arew you still on the command line? [21:54] SealedWithAKiss: In other word, open jockey-gtk then remove the driver it says is not in use there. After that, reinstall it using the same thing [21:54] how to stop it [21:54] morphix, thank you [21:54] no i just restarted, im trying to boot with the live cd again [21:54] is 10.04 the first UNR release? [21:54] should i not have? [21:54] burg, fixed it i presume :) [21:54] iamringo87: try to open it with vlc which is asking to repair the file [21:54] Out_Cold: no [21:54] morphix, yes [21:54] it opens fine in vlc [21:54] !unr | Out_Cold [21:54] Out_Cold: Ubuntu Netbook Remix is a slightly altered version of Ubuntu, optimised for small screens. For more information, please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UNR - support in #ubuntu [21:54] how to stop the gdm mode [21:54] and going text mode [21:54] just has the wrong length diplayed [21:54] please help [21:54] i was reading there iceroot [21:54] burg: thats great and np, glad to help. :) [21:55] CAPcap: Both options will work.. Remember to gksudo gedit with the live CD, then open the ile to edit. [21:55] phong_: ctrl + alt + f1 and then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop if you want to shutdown the x-server [21:55] oh okay [21:55] thanks [21:55] soreau, there isn't an option to remove the driver. [21:55] i miss the sudo [21:55] haha [21:55] minimec, ok i'll try that [21:55] phong_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:55] Out_Cold: ubuntu 8.04 was the first UNR if i am correct [21:55] I can login to my computer using: ssh -p xxx username1@ip1, but I'm not able to copy using scp -P xxx -r /home/username1/ username2@ip2:/home/username2/ Why? [21:55] I use keys that also has passphrase. [21:55] SealedWithAKiss: It should give you an option to install it then.. [21:55] Real_Ubot: error? [21:56] soreau, activate? [21:56] SealedWithAKiss: Yes [21:56] soreau, Sorry, installation of this driver failed. Please have a look at the log file for details: /var/log/jockey.log [21:56] iceroot, i am running into some xorg issues on 10.04. i reported them but would like to see if this is because it's +1 or because it's hardware [21:56] iceroot: When I use scp -v then I see that scp can't connect. [21:56] SealedWithAKiss: So look at the log :) [21:57] SealedWithAKiss: Pastebin it if you want to [21:57] Out_Cold: 10.04 is an alpha [21:57] iceroot: I get the error "Error sending message, child exited 1 ()." as I have this in .muttrc: set sendmail="postfix" [21:57] iceroot: Connection to... ip-numbers, port etc. [21:57] iceroot: Then nothing happends. [21:57] Out_Cold: 10.04 is an alpha? [21:57] soopos: what are you trying to do? [21:57] i got it [21:57] thanks [21:58] soopos: you want to send an mail with your own smtp-server? [21:58] iceroot: To send a mail by Mutt [21:58] iceroot, i know, i think the link i picked said jaunty but it was 10.04 [21:58] iceroot: apparently it is a must, since I cannot find another way [21:58] soopos: and you want to send the mail to? [21:59] soopos: local or internet [21:59] soreau, http://pastebin.ca/1755207 === EvilPenguin| is now known as EvilPenguin|AWAY [21:59] question: how do i know if my nvidia is sli ? [21:59] any help [22:00] phong_: do you have 2 graphics cards? [22:00] yes [22:00] is there a big-ass wire going between them? [22:00] i just enable it with command: sudo nvidia-xconfig --sli=on [22:00] iceroot: internet [22:00] minimec, edited and saved [22:00] now what? [22:01] what's the fastest way to be notified of, and enabled to reply to, an email? [22:01] soopos: maybe its better to use a smtp from gmx, google, hotmail or something else then setting aup a local mail-server [22:02] CAPcap: try to reboot. I guess that should do. If not, boot in recovery and update-initramfs -u -k all === FatAlbert is now known as Bwaah [22:02] minimec, ok will do. i'll keep hounding u if i keep having problems ;) [22:02] question: how to do alias for cls = 'clear' [22:03] phong_: alias cls=clear [22:04] SealedWithAKiss: Which version of ubuntu is this btw? [22:04] soreau, Karmic. [22:04] i know but where to make it perminnat [22:04] something with bashrc [22:04] phong_: add it to ~/.bashrc [22:04] ok [22:05] unknown command 'update-initramfs' [22:05] ok how do i reload the bash [22:05] any help? [22:06] minimec [22:06] CAPcap: what. You did it befor, when you activated kms. Why should it be unknown now? [22:06] how to reload the ~/.bashrc [22:06] i dont know [22:06] source ~/.bashrc ? [22:06] should it be a space instead of a dash? [22:06] phong_: that should work [22:06] your on the live cd? [22:06] no [22:06] CAPcap: your on the live cd? [22:07] CAPcap, you should use the tab auto-completion to correct your spelling errors [22:07] Grub command line [22:07] CAPcap: Did you try to reboot normally? [22:07] soreau, is this useful? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1305740 - It means nothing to me. [22:07] yes and it didnt work minimec [22:07] CAPcap: You have to load a recovery kernel and then choose the root console. [22:08] i dont even know what that means minimec [22:08] SealedWithAKiss: Try installing xorg-driver-fglrx package, then edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and make sure Driver fglrx is in the Device section [22:08] in case anyone wants ot help, Linux Journal set up a chipin page to help Shawn Powers, llinux journal editor, because his house burned down today: http://helpshawnpowersfamily.chipin.com/help-shawn-powers-family [22:08] should i do that command from the live CD? [22:09] i'm trying to make linux command accordingly to windows ;) [22:09] haha [22:09] brb [22:09] CAPcap: when you boot up, press... button before grub starts to load. Choose a recovery kernel [22:09] soreau, it's already the newest version. [22:09] ok thanks [22:09] Guys, I desperately need some help in here... I accidentally deleted 4.1Gb of files and ext3grep isn't working [22:10] soreau, where about in the configuration file am I supposed to be looking? [22:10] SealedWithAKiss: Ok reinstall it then and make sure you have fglrx in xorg.conf then reboot [22:10] soreau, driver is Vesa. [22:10] SealedWithAKiss: The Device section [22:10] SealedWithAKiss: Change it to fglrx [22:10] galvao: Go undelete them. Also, don't touch the disk until you do. [22:10] SealedWithAKiss: Remove then reinstall xorg-driver-fglrx then reboot [22:10] CompuHacker: How do I do that? [22:11] ok i have box with stuff in it, it appears to be a version of ubuntu, then the same thing with recovery mode, that a diferent ver with another recovery mode the 2 mem test options [22:11] soreau, I'm on it now. [22:11] I've tried with ext3grep but I get a lot of "Note: Inode 2148434 has non-zero dtime (1263758919 Sun Jan 17 18:08:39 2010) but non-zero block list (8599552) [ext3grep does not consider this inode to be deleted]" lines and then: "ext3grep: inode.cc:99: void inode_mmap(int): Assertion `refs_to_mmap[group] == 0' failed." and "Aborted" [22:11] CAPcap: Choose the recovery kernel 2md in line. [22:11] galvao: Please wait. [22:11] I'm desperate here :( [22:11] OK [22:12] but ive been getting this and it doesnt matter what i pic, nothing boots up, i have sounds that tell me its like at the log in screen but i have no picture [22:12] CAPcap: Then the root console [22:12] whats a root console? [22:12] @CAPcap its the root user [22:14] CAPcap: MA you have a grub menu in front of you, there you can choos a recovery kernel (should be 2nd in the menu), the the text booting process should start and at the end you should have the option to go to a root command line. That's easy... really. [22:14] galvao: Sorry, I can see now that I didn't know what I was getting into. There is commercial software that might work, but barring that, the data is gone. [22:14] galvao: Read en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext3grep [22:14] omg... [22:14] i doesnt give me options it just runs through awhole bunch of text then goes to a black screen [22:14] Sorry :( [22:15] Okay I'm having a small yet slightly annoying issue. In myspace I go to login and I can't see what im typing. It just stays white when I type. When I highlight it though I see that it was actually typing. Same thing happens in facebook chat. I'm running 9.10 Any ideas? [22:15] CompuHacker: But I didn't formatted the disk [22:15] CAPcap: OK. Cab you do F1 ? [22:16] where? [22:16] CompuHacker: I "shift-deleted" the directory in Dolphin [22:16] galvao: http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html [22:16] That might help. [22:16] Yes I'm going there right now [22:16] CompuHacker: Thanks [22:16] CAPcap: Type it on your keyboard Hold , then press F1 [22:17] i get that. when am i supposed to do that? [22:17] CAPcap: It should give you a console. [22:17] What is the idea around the way files and folders are kept in ubuntu?(for example what goes where for an install) I believe the more centralised way windows does it is better. [22:17] is anyone else running the unr 10.04? [22:17] at least it seems more logical [22:17] I run 10.04 [22:18] Alpha2 [22:18] any bugs? [22:18] Two [22:18] xorg? [22:18] But they are discreet. [22:18] No [22:18] Hawkal, I believe it's possible that some programs will treat linux directories like Windows ones, to the point of using \ instead of / [22:18] Libnotify and something I think is related to compiz. [22:19] But otherwise, that's just a feature of Linux you'll need to get used to. [22:19] Craig_Dem, what's your netbook? [22:19] I run desktop. [22:19] Okay I'm having a small yet slightly annoying issue. In myspace I go to login and I can't see what im typing. It just stays white when I type. When I highlight it though I see that it was actually typing. Same thing happens in facebook chat. I'm running 9.10 Any ideas? [22:19] Agh [22:19] Is there a way to make the virtual consoles have a nice background, etc. as seen in SUSE or mandriva? [22:19] Just worked out what unr is >_> [22:19] I can scp to my computer having ssh server installed (using keys) but I'm not able to scp back top my computer having only the ssh client. Why? I have changed the port from 22 to another port in my sshh_config fil and disabled password login only letting users login using keys. [22:19] Craig_Dem, i was wondering about netbook remix [22:19] :p [22:20] Yeah, my bad. [22:20] CompuHacker , it isn't the directories, it's the whole structure that doesn't seem logical to me [22:20] How would I resize my windows partition and make room for Ubuntu? [22:20] http://pastebin.com/m6b70f526 [22:20] well i just finished downloading the 9.10 release so i'll try that [22:21] CAPcap: Still living? [22:21] @Real_Ubot - why change port number? anyway, running ssh -v -v -v will give you more info as it tries, you can spot better where it fails [22:21] iWolf, the live cd has options for that in the partition editor [22:21] Hawkal, need I remind you that Linux was devised by a team of supernerds, who probably invented logic, and beer. [22:21] no. my computer wont even gove me that thing with the recovery anymore [22:21] you can just do -vvv [22:21] Out_Cold: Is there a resize option? [22:21] Okay I'm having a small yet slightly annoying issue. In myspace I go to login and I can't see what im typing. It just stays white when I type. When I highlight it though I see that it was actually typing. Same thing happens in facebook chat. I'm running 9.10 Any ideas? [22:22] Plustax, I advise you not to repeat yourself more than once every 30 or so minutes. [22:22] iWolf, last time i installed next to a windows OS, yes there was. it should shrink your windows and allow for ubuntu to install in a logical partition [22:22] If someone can help you, they will. [22:22] Out_Cold: Automated? [22:22] @Hawal - remember that Unix systems often have/had different folders on different drive arrays etc. Because you can mount anything anywhere with different options (like read only) it maximizes flexability [22:22] plustax: do you have a certain theme installed [22:23] CompuHacker: Have you ever been far as decided even as to do look want more like? [22:23] CAPcap: That is so strange... [22:23] iWolf, yes it was the guided resize option (automated) or you can resize manually inside the live cd using gparted and the ntfs pluggin i think [22:23] cjae yes sir I do, and I go to adjust colors in the tab and everything is grayed out like I cant change it [22:23] hi [22:23] Out_Cold: What version did you install [22:23] plustax: You've got to be kidding me. I've been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can. [22:23] oknow i have my recovery screen back.... [22:23] iWolf, last one along side windows was 8.10 [22:24] Ahhh [22:24] if i have hardy can i add karmic repos to my source list and install stuff from there? [22:24] I found a page about it [22:24] Thank you [22:24] CompuHacker how are you bro. are you from e/b/aums liek meh [22:24] CAPcap: Ok. choose the recovery kernel with the arrow keys [22:24] ok [22:24] CompuHacker, okay beer makes up for it. It just makes more sense to me when related things are kept together in a central way [22:24] then [22:24] ? [22:24] I lost my volume control switch from the panel how do I add it back? [22:24] gnome [22:24] plustax: some webpages have colors embedded in them and you cant change it and some themes interfer with these colors, I have not found a solution around besides changing theme or using highlight [22:24] CAPcap: Now boot that recovery kernel [22:25] Hawkal, as a side effect of inventing beer, those same nerds probably drank it whilst devising glorious GNU. [22:25] Gotcha. Thank you cjae [22:25] yw [22:25] ok then what? [22:25] CompuHacker pm [22:25] CompuHacker: I see that the disk must be unmounted for ext3grep to work [22:26] CAPcap: What happens now? [22:26] then unmount it [22:26] jeeze. [22:26] text goes thru, goes to black screen [22:26] @hawkal - try man hier and see if that helps it make a little more sense [22:26] CAPcap: ok. wait... [22:27] ok nothing is happening [22:27] CAPcap: There we have a problem. There should be a white menu on a blue background with a menu option 'root' Dropto root shell prompt [22:28] well there isnt [22:28] what # on the list should it be? [22:28] CAPcap: that is really strange... [22:28] because maybe i just cant see it, maybe i can scroll ro ir blind [22:29] to* it* blind [22:29] CompuHacker, good point . [22:29] I lost my volume control switch from the panel how do I add it back? (gnome) [22:29] furicle, thank you [22:30] hi [22:30] CAPcap: That menu takes the whole screen. [22:30] !resetpanels | tobiasz [22:30] tobiasz: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [22:30] i dont have any important files yet, i'll just reinstall ubuntu [22:30] Is there a way to make the virtual consoles have a nice background, etc. as seen in SUSE or mandriva?
