[00:00] hey guys, anyone know if there is a difference between debian minimal netinstall vs ubuntu minimal netinstall (only xorg, wm, ect)?.. since both are debian based (other than the sources) [00:01] How do the command prompt to print something to a file (after the results are already on the screen)? [00:02] StevenX: rerun the command redirecting output to a file ? [00:03] erUSUL: It's a very CPU intensive process, so is there a way not to have to re-run the command? [00:04] StevenX: use a mouse to copy and paste ? GNU screen has a copy mode but plain terminal emulators do not have it afaik [00:04] nellmathew: There's quite a bit of difference [00:04] Is there a way to make the virtual consoles have a nice background, etc. as seen in SUSE or mandriva?

Big mistake. gdm froze, now everytime I try to login it freezes at the login screen. I'm using 9.10 [00:05] can someone help me with this?

[00:09] hi guys i am trying to change the read write permission of a folder recursivly by chmod -R +rw ~/folder ?? is this write [00:09] when is the gnome-screensaver normally started? with regular application startup or is it during boot? [00:09] jmcantrell: Don't you think thats a little out of the scope of this channel and yes, erUSUL is correct [00:09] kslen: it's started as part of the list of processes to be started with X [00:09] noren: yes; but what folder are we talking about ? [00:09] !permission [00:09] erUSUL: yes. it appears that i can ping other machines on my network by hostname, but one is a fresh install ubuntu server that i'm unable to do this with. [00:09] An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [00:10] syn-ack, /etc/init.d script? [00:10] No, the init scripts within x [00:10] .xinitrc or "Start-up applications" type of thing?

I just did this: scp -r /home/username1/cat/ username2@ip:/home/username2/cat/ where "username2" "ip" is the client user and client ip. The doesn't work but it does from client to server. [00:12] syn-ack, ok, the part which launches gnome-screensaver then. [00:12] erUSUL: i want all the files and folder in that folder to have read write permission, how can i do that?? what permission my .lyric folder sud have so that all the folders and files within them have the same kind of permission [00:12] erUSUL: That doesn't work. But from client to server it doesn. Why? [00:12] Hello, for some reason in the login menu, I decided to try the magnifier. Big mistake. gdm froze, now everytime I try to login it freezes at the login screen. I'm using 9.10 [00:12] Real_Ubot: becouse the client does not have a server running [00:12] syn-ack, pardon. ment ?, not . :D [00:13] erUSUL: It worked before? Before I started to use keys? [00:13] noren: chmod -R 755 ~/lyrics [00:13] thnks erUSUL [00:14] oh, the entry was still intact in the startup applications list, just disabled.. -.- [00:14] Real_Ubot: then maybe you have to copy the keys around ? the server key to the client? ask in #openssh [00:14] aparently karmic ignores .xinitrc [00:15] kslen: it uses .xsession i recall. 'startx' uses .xinitrc if it exists [00:15] kslen: xinitrc is only used when you do startx.

I removed wubi from windows as the instructions described and now i am not left with any ability to but to ubuntu. I feel that i copied everything cor [00:30] datz: you could try ctrl-alt-backspace (this will kill X11 and it should restart) [00:30] datz: alt-f1, login, sudo service gdm restart [00:32] how would i edit grub to add a partition to boot from [00:33] I get the following when trying to play a DVD using VLC: Playback failure: [00:33] DVDRead could not open the disc "/dev/sr0".

[00:33] Bookman: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:34] Any ideas on how to solve this? [00:34] fission6: try booting from a live cd and verify what you actually have on your partitions, if everything seems correct try reinstalling grub [00:36] how can i add multiple m2ts files to an AVCHD folder? [00:36] can i just throw new ones in there? [00:36] well this is my issue, i dont have a live cd (no burner). i installed wubi got it working, then used gparted and created a new partition and swap space. then ran lvpm to move wubi to its own parition. i then rebooted went to windows and uninstalled wubi. then i rebooted and now i can no longer get into ubuntu. i feel grub is not picking up on the new partition i moved wubi/ubuntu to? [00:38] Is there a way to get the Ubuntu installer to see my Areca 1230 raid controller? I found this page saying the card is supported, but it describes configuring it after the system is running http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/karmic/en/man4/arcmsr.4freebsd.html [00:38] !grub | fission6 [00:38] fission6: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [00:39] fission6: yes, it seems like that, you can, iirc, boot into grub and manually start your ubuntu from the new partition though [00:39] jeiworth: would you mind walking me through how id do that breifly [00:39] Maybe ubuntu cannot play back modern DVD releases anymore? [00:40] sure it can [00:40] fission6: urm, yes and no, have to prepare dinner first then i can help you (wife's getting hungry) ;) [00:40] Bookman: why not rip them? [00:40] blakkheim, how? [00:40] bbl [00:40] Bookman: Did you install libdvdcss2? [00:40] Bookman: handbrake is a good program for that [00:40] how do i get a linuix command prompt or enter the partition i transfered everything to using lvpm === Bwaah is now known as Bwaah|Eat [00:41] <{chmod}755> fission6, You get a shell prompt when you enter a linux environment. Unless you're looking for a GRUB shell prompt. [00:41] syn-ack, how to check? I see I have Ubuntu extras installed [00:42] how can I set my laptop to type in another language? The google search resulted in instructions for 8.x and it didn't help [00:42] fission6: meanwhile, you can give this a read: http://www.linuxselfhelp.com/gnu/grub/html_chapter/grub_4.html#SEC17 [00:42] again my issue is that i can not boot the partition after moving my wubi install over to its own partition using lvpm. [00:42] Bookman: That's not gonna do it. Go to www.mediubuntu.org and read there. [00:43] how do i get the grub command?

[00:43] help me [00:43] please [00:43] :( [00:43] atealtha, normally you should be able to change your keyboard language in System > Preferences > Keyboard? [00:43] Bookman: I'm sorry medibuntu.org [00:43] hi all, I have a problem and I can't find any solution in the forums: Everytime I try to transfert files from one computer to another on my network, Nautilus crash after 4gb. doesn't matter if I transfer from NTFS to ext or even from ext to ext partition, it always crash at 4gb. [00:43] syn-ack, yeah, tried that. Could not figure out what I needed. [00:44] brb [00:44] nefast: I added what I wanted there, but SCIM doesn't seem to change to the different layouts, it just shows USA [00:44] nefast: I meant the keyboard layout panel applet, not SCIM [00:45] meganerd: alt F1 doesn't do anythin either [00:45] Ah, that changes some things. [00:45] Namely, I don't know anything about that. [00:46] hi all, if i would like to just rsync files whose suffix is .foo from remote host to local machine, what must i do ? [00:46] nefast: I just added the applet for convenience. I'd like to get this to work however [00:46] atealtha: is this on 9.10? [00:46] meganerd: also "sudo service gdm restart" restart: Unknown instance: [00:46] trism: yes [00:47] <{chmod}755> fission6, Did you get your issue straightened out? [00:47] I'm trying to install an FTP on my Hardy server with permissions to access the root directory of one of my websites, so that the CMS (Joomla) can automatically install extensions for the site [00:47] How can I set up an FTP for this? [00:48] atealtha: in 9.10 they are switching from SCIM to ibus, I couldn't actually get scim working correctly, but you can configure ibus by installing the input methods for your language in System/Administration/Language Support; selecting ibus as the input method and configuring ibus in System/Preferences/Ibus Preferences; then rebooting; you can start ibus with ctrl+space [00:49] {chmod}755: }: no, i am going to try this approach and ill be back to report my results [00:49] http://www.saltycrane.com/blog/2008/08/notes-moving-ubuntu-wubi-standard-ext3-partition-using-lvpm/ [00:49] syn-ack, I installed libdvdcss2 and still no playback. [00:49] what doyou think [00:49] fission6: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:49] trism: thanks I'll take a look [00:49] <{chmod}755> fission6, One moment and let me look [00:49] meganerd: I was able to log in via ssh, but service gdm restart didn't work [00:49] <{chmod}755> fission6, that looks good.

[00:57] how can i get add-apt-repository functionality in ubuntu server? [00:57] {chmod}755: I guess what I'd need to do is kill gdm and restor xorg.conf [00:58] petsounds, nope, still not go.

(do you know where it is) After you find it rename it to something like gdm_old [01:28] moore, what's your question? [01:28] rename gdm gdm_old --- Then restart [01:28] i'm just trying to figure-out where gnome-do hides its cache... [01:29] ultraparadigm: I see [01:29] i changed a bunch of icons, but gnome-do doesn't recognize it. [01:29] or rather "sudo gdm gdm_old" Provided that gdm is the name of the executable. I don't know where it is though, you will have to find it [01:29] can someone give me a 30 second crashcourse on ubuntu/debian? [01:29] what's the command to install stuff [01:29] apt_get? [01:29] I keep doing pkg_add, I'm too used to freebsd lolz. [01:29] ultraparadigm: ok [01:29] yes thats it [01:30] sudo apt-cache search x; sudo apt-get install x; [01:30] thanks :D [01:30] ultraparadigm: it will be in /usr/bin? [01:30] hello guys [01:30] !aapt [01:30] I've had to boot to a livecd to rescue this brand new ubuntu install... [01:30] !apt [01:30] APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) [01:30] After updating the system it won't reboot [01:30] grub is messed up [01:30] epic lame. [01:30] :( [01:30] <3 chroot [01:30] Gonna blow grub away and install lilo :) [01:31] !netsplit [01:31] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [01:32] lawl. [01:32] hi all [01:32] Freenode splits so much [01:32] and gets attacked so much [01:32] can anyone help about preseeding? [01:32] #ubuntu should b e on efnet ;D [01:32] I'm getting an error related to PPPoE and I haven't preseeded anything about that, any idea? [01:34] doe's anyone know the way to make ubutun ask you about each service as it starts up? [01:34] used to be a shortcut [01:35] Hmm, i dont recall ever seeing that feature sabgenton You mean like 'Do you want to start ssh? (y/n)' [01:35] yeah! [01:36] nerer seen that [01:36] you don't rember seeing it in ubuuntu? [01:36] wondering if http://pastebin.com/m3e73cdbc would be typical results for a udma5 hard-drive ? [01:36] I know I seen it in other distros [01:36] ssh server is not included as part of the default ubuntu install [01:37] which is why you don't see that question like you do in other distros. [01:37] Dr_Willis: ok well failling that what do I add at the end of a boot line to enter single user mode [01:37] sing [01:37] single [01:37] chears [01:37] hello guys. i've had an ubuntu installation on a pentium 4 server and now i want to move the disk (and the very same installation) to a pentium 3 server. so i'm changing all the hardware minus the disk itself. is this possible? what do i need to do in order to accomplish this? (i'm a pretty advanced user) [01:37] that would be 'single' :) [01:37] thanks in advance :) === Bwaah|Shower is now known as Bwaah [01:37] syn-ack: yeah but it wasn't just for ssh [01:38] it was for all services starting up [01:38] tpinto: it should work. [01:38] tpinto, just swap the drive, it will keep working [01:38] ask for each step by step [01:38] wondering if http://pastebin.com/m3e73cdbc would be typical results for a udma5 hard-drive ? [01:38] sabgenton: not a feature of ubuntu that ive ever seen [01:38] I think it was i [01:38] ok, many thanks :) [01:38] for interactive [01:38] maybe that was gentoo [01:38] I thougtht redhat had something too [01:38] so it seems the problem i'm getting is nothing related to the change [01:39] syn-ack: I'lll try single anyhoo [01:39] i'm getting a "init: upstart-udev-bridge main process killed by SEGV signal" on boot [01:39] any thoughts? [01:39] :) [01:40] wtf, ubuntu is weird. Why are the UUID's in my fstab [01:40] and not typical device entries [01:40] paulmer: you answered your own question [01:40] paulmer, change them for /dev/device ...... [01:41] blakkheim, device entries as in /dev/sdx [01:41] or hdx [01:41] paulmer: i know what you meant [01:41] I'ven ever seen UUID before [01:41] in an fstab [01:41] uuid causes problems for me [01:41] I'm running 9.10 and am trying to recover my grub setup using this howto (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows), but I'm running into issues. [01:41] using UUID's is not weird. many disrtos are using them in fstab now [01:41] paulmer: what i was saying is that the reason was in your question, "ubuntu is weird" [01:41] paulmer: it's a fixed way to refer to a particular filesystem no matter what device node it gets mapped to [01:41] oh [01:41] :D [01:41] What do I need to do from a 9.10 CD to load grub2 back to the MBR? [01:42] alankila, yeah. But device nodes rarely get swapped around [01:42] why cant the partitioner in the ubuntu installer find the ex4 partition i created on my HD? [01:42] deltaray_: you could chroot into the installed system. and use update-grub or use update-grub with the proper options to tell it where to install to. [01:43] Dr_Willis: Thanks. I tried running update-grub from a chroot and that didn't reinstall grub on the MBR. It did seem to complete without error though [01:43] The reason for using a UUID is so that it doesnt matter where the disk is placed on the device tree, the system still knows where to boot and mount from [01:43] paulmer: I bet it's fallout from the hda/sda switch which happened couple of versions ago, actually. [01:43] Dr_Willis: or if it did install grub, I can't see it on boot. [01:43] grub2 is new to me. [01:43] that was to you, paulmer [01:43] http://gadgetmix.com/index/how-to-restrore-grub-bootloader-in-ubuntu-9-10-standard-and-netbook-remix/ [01:43] seems rather clear on the command. :) [01:44] cd mrxvt [01:44] syn-ack, a smart solution indeed.. [01:44] !f [01:44] especially for those of us who have finicky machines [01:44] that like to swap them around [01:44] wondering if http://pastebin.com/m3e73cdbc would be typical results for a udma5 hard-drive ? [01:44] Where do you lookup the UUID for a partition? [01:44] paulmer: is it's not that weird afterall. [01:45] http://serverfault.com/questions/3132/how-do-i-find-the-uuid-of-a-partition [01:45] Dr_Willis: yeah, I tried using that sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/root /dev/sda and that's what I'm saying completed without error, but that didn't work. [01:45] !uuid [01:45] To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [01:45] I also tried grub-update [01:45] NotTooSmart: the data transfer rates are lowish. I have UDMA 6 and measure 77 MB/s... I don't know what the UDMA5 rate was, don't remember it any more [01:45] deltaray_: cry chrooting into the installed system and using the update-grub command perhaps [01:45] the cached reads test is irrelevant, it's a memory-to-memory kind of test. That also indicates that you have a low-end system, though [01:46] alankila, udma5 is supposed to be 100mb/sec and im getting like 46, I know it wont be 100, but less than half? [01:46] Dr_Willis: When I try that, it says [01:46] deltaray_: You only have the 1 hard drive? [01:46] "Cannot find list of partitions!" [01:46] ok I knowtcie recovery mode option is just puting single at the end [01:46] deltaray_: thers some extra commands you have to do befor you chroot [01:46] so fat lot of difference me entering it myself [01:46] http://delicious.com/dr_willis/grub2 [01:46] Dr_Willis: I have 2 hard drives, /dev/sda1 has Linux on it, there is also a swap part ont hat drive, then /dev/sdb1 has Windows XP [01:47] deltaray_: be sure the bios isent accidently booting the other hd. [01:47] Anyway to clear the last command in history without clearing the whole history? Going to rar a directory with pass via CLI [01:47] alankila, disregard [01:47] NotTooSmart: yes... overheads, perhaps a low speed of CPU harming it ... Not sure [01:47] Dr_Willis: Ok, I didn't do the bind /sys partition, forgot about that one. [01:47] http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide has some commands i always do befor i chroot.. see commands 1-6 [01:47] alankila, my other drive is getting 66 or so, so atleast I know its working [01:48] where does ubuntu saves the packages installed with aptitude ? [01:48] NotTooSmart: you can use -i flag to check which UDMA mode is actually being used [01:48] NotTooSmart: the active mode is marked by * [01:48] alankila, well, I think I have a kernel bug, so I had to force 80 wire detection, now udma5 is selected, before it was udma2 [01:49] Dr_Willis: Thanks, that worked, but does that install grub to the MBR? It doesn't really say. [01:49] deltaray_: you did tell it to install to sda and not sda1 ? [01:49] alankila, now dmesg | grep ata says they are both configured for udma/100 [01:49] sda = the mbr of the drive.. sda1 = the boot record of the partition [01:49] Ok, looks like it did after checking with dd if=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1 | strings [01:49] NotTooSmart: ah. Okay. Or maybe you have cd-rom on the same ide channel, that commonly forces to udma2 [01:49] Grub shows up in that output. [01:50] alankila, no sir, I have no cd-rom drives on this machine [01:50] Dr_Willis: Yes, I did say sda [01:50] I'm actually not new to Linux at all, just new to grub2. [01:51] Ok, well I'll try rebooting now and see what happens. [01:51] alankila, im guessing since im getting over 33mb/sec that the force 80 wire detection did work. [01:52] NotTooSmart: yes, I guess. === EvilPenguin| is now known as EvilPenguin|iMac [01:54] * Daugha|n chuckles. [01:54] jesus do you know how annoying that registering system is?! [01:55] * Dr_Willis hasent noticed.. [01:55] dumb thing never sent a confirmation email so i had to change my name and use a spare email. [01:55] anyways. [01:56] why ubuntu dosent work!? [01:56] anyone here use Wubi? I powered down my windows badly and now my wubi install wont boot, is there a way i can access the home/user pull crap before I reinstall? [01:56] Mine does? [01:56] ballsac: given the details youve supplied.. it must be due to gremlins.. [01:56] After some updates, the desktop won't show up and window decorator isn't there after a restart/log-out-log-in. Any ideas what could be causing this? [01:56] I have an issue whenever i move my mouse, i get a chirping, like a cricket chirp, from my speakers. any idea how to fix this? [01:57] where does ubuntu saves the packages installed with aptitude ? [01:57] sutabi: i think the wubi stuff is all stored in a single filesystem in a file. that you could mount from a live cd to copy things from. but ive no idea what the file name is or where its at [01:57] how do i grow my wubi install? can i? [01:57] >:| [01:58] OldParr: you mean the actual deb packages? /var/cache/apt I think [01:58] Hey, Dr_Willis [01:58] Dr_Willis, I figured ~_~ thanks [01:59] does anyone here know anything about joomla with ubuntu? [01:59] Dr_Willis: does aptitude saves packages to disk by default or do you have to configure it to do it? [01:59] OldParr: it works the same as apt-get does. saves them to the cache [01:59] wouldent make much sence for it to not work that way [01:59] Dr_Willis: by default, it does it? [02:00] OldParr: you mean the actual deb packages? /var/cache/apt I think [02:00] yes it should as far as i know. [02:00] its just another front end to the package manager system [02:00] oh dam i tryed to get in from another disto dual boot [02:00] why does ubuntu still show up under my windows parition boot after i uninstalle dit [02:00] but it's old and doesn't have ext4 [02:00] lol [02:00] -_- [02:00] curse ext4! [02:01] whats it good for anyway [02:01] Dr_Willis: yes there are the packages, thanks [02:01] sabgenton: moar speed [02:01] oh ok well thats allways nice === Ferris- is now known as Ferris`away [02:01] execpt older os's cant read it :( [02:02] sabgenton gos to make boot usb [02:02] :( [02:02] After some updates, the desktop won't show up and window decorator isn't there after a restart/log-out-log-in.

[02:03] to recap I stuffed up /etc/network/interfaces and now ubutntu won't boot [02:03] keepsake: do you get X at all, or nothing graphical? only TTYs? [02:03] how do I stop it loading the network and haulting the boot up [02:03] sabgenton: can you pastebin your current 'interfaces' ? [02:04] no because I can't boot! [02:04] mount from livecd?

Ive never seen a system not boot because of the network [02:05] daftykins: I get panels and background image [02:05] daftykins: still I can't remmber stuffing networking on other distros and having then not even boot [02:05] daftykins: In fact I can run a terminal using a panel and do compiz --replace and get my things back. Desktop stays invisible though. [02:05] keepsake: have you tried creating a new user and logging in as that to test, to see if it's something in your home folder? [02:05] daftykins: Will do. [02:06] Dr_Willis: It will if the bios is set for lanboot. [02:06] oh yay I have netbook karmic on usb [02:06] saved === Stanto is now known as s74n70 === s74n70 is now known as Stanto [02:07] Why doens [02:07] lanboot exclusively, I shoujd say. Ran across that the other week. [02:07] 't the ubuntu livecd come with sshd [02:07] blarg [02:08] paulmer: the live cd dosent come with a lot of things.. due to space limitions [02:09] Dr_Willis: I foresee them switching ti livedvd in the not so distant future [02:09] anyone? [02:09] ardchoille: i will be suprised when they do that. [02:10] I think kubuntu is already doing that in the next release or so [02:10] ho [02:10] hi [02:10] I think they need to get rid of wubi also. :) [02:10] So anyone look at apt-fast????? [02:10] :) [02:10] sup guys; im curious - how do i determine which log to find when the system goes unresponsive other than ability to switch workspaces? everything else locked up.

[02:14] Daugha|n, any specific log file i should look into? [02:14] "apt-get build-dep ruby" [missing sources .list] [02:15] morphias: Can try syslog, but, I didnt have one in mind, just pointing you in a directio to start looking. [02:15] Nevermind, I am daft - I didn't bind /dev to /mnt/ubuntu/dev [02:15] hajmola, are you using a router or direct to the broadband modem? [02:15] okay thanks Daugha|n .. [02:15] np [02:15] daftykins: I tried, and it is something in my home folder (a test user account worked fine). [02:16] jeffreyf, direct to the modem... i just moved and i don't have a router yet [02:16] Daughln could u help [02:16] is normal that firestarter crashes in ubuntu 9.04 ? [02:17] is normal that pidgin crashes when conecting to msn protocol in ubuntu 9.04 ? [02:17] hi [02:17] hajmola...You may need to reset the router between connections (power it down and switch computers on the wire). As the DHCP server has already registered the computer you HAD connected...OR if you wait a few minutes between disconnect and connecting the other system, that may work also.... [02:18] jeffreyf, that makes sense, thanks. It's a battery powered modem so should I pull the battery out too or press the reset button on back? [02:19] How do I find out what group is running apache? [02:19] hajmola...a reset should do... [02:20] jeffreyf, thanks a lot, I'll give that a try [02:20] Axle: it should be running in "apache" though man group [02:20] syn-ack, so if I wanted to add a user to the same group that's running apache, what command would I use?

[02:38] Jeffreyf, Yes, we have wifi, cell phones and cordless phones. [02:38] ultraparadigm, how close? [02:38] nintendude794, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-netbook-remix and then reboot. [02:39] have you checked gconf-editor > apps> nautilus >preferences> "show desktop" ?? [02:39] that was for keepsake [02:39] My router is about 4 feet away, celll phone about 4 ft, my wife cell is about 10 feet away [02:39] I know this isn't stricly an ubuntu issue, but does anyone know how to speed up smb share traversal? I've got two linux systems here, one Arch linux, one Ubuntu 9.10. ln -R of the same file shre takes 1/4 second on the Arch system, and 6 seconds on Ubuntu. [02:40] Viper1432: That's checked. [02:40] * matelot for Screenlet, what does it mean "traet as widget" ? [02:40] Hi all. I just installed the ttf-incosolata package, then when I do "xterm -fn '-*-inconsolata-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*'" I get told "term: cannot load font -*-inconsolata-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*". Why? How can I have my xterm use the Inconsolata font? [02:40] daftykins: Here's the command (I ls'd instead of la): http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d70f0c880 [02:40] Tanthrix: the ubuntu smb.conf file has some examples/notes in the comments as to some options to sue to speed it up [02:40] ultraparadigm Do the bluetooth devices behave out of the room? [02:40] Tanthrix: for a linux to linux - nfs may be MUCH faster then samba [02:41] Dr_Willis: I'll have a look, thanks. This is windows to linux though, so I'm stuck with smb [02:41] Viper1432, daftykins: If it helps, here's some context: I updated to karmic a couple of days ago, and until yesterday, everything worked perfectly. After an update (it seems) things started to go broken. [02:41] Dr_Willis: And when I set it up, I actually copied the smb.conf over from my old system, so maybe there are some new things I ought to enable since this is a newer version of smb. [02:41] My headphones usually work upto about 10 feet, if I go to the bathroom I can still hear music until I get behind the wall, I can't really tell if the mouse works outside the room though :-/ [02:41] keepsake, I had major issues with a karmic "upgrade" as well. My solution? do a clean install but keep the /home directory. [02:41] all my "issues" went away. [02:42] Viper1432: Was it a distro update for you or just regular software updates? [02:42] ultraparadigm, please prefix my handle on your reply so I can pick it out of the rest of the "noise" [02:42] jeffreyf, sure [02:42] Where do I get more informaion on a package that fails install in synaptic Package manager because of dependcys? I'm trying to install Openbve [02:42] jeffreyf, My headphones usually work upto about 10 feet, if I go to the bathroom I can still hear music until I get behind the wall, I can't really tell if the mouse works outside the room though :-/ [02:42] keepsake, I started having problems after a distro update, and it got worse with updates. The clean install (keeping /home) resolved everything. [02:43] ultraparadigm, if you take the laptop, mouse and headphones out of the room, do they behave [02:43] bigdavjoker: try installing it with apt-get [02:43] Viper1432: I'm guessing that involves downloading the disc now >> [02:43] bigdavjoker: open a terminal, sudo apt-get install [02:43] jeffreyf, oh I see lol, let me try down the hall [02:43] keepsake: you got many packages in /var/cache/apt/archives to indicate those most recent updates? [02:44] daftykins: Tons [02:44] jonaskoelker, I get the same meesage unresovlable dependicies but when I look up the package it says it is in universe [02:44] keepsake, do you remember what update apparently started to cause the issues? points to daftykins comment. [02:44] jonaskoelker, libtaoframework is one of them [02:44] Viper1432, daftykins: I have at least a ton of files in here, I'll pastebin what I have. [02:44] bigdavjoker: might it be only of the "wrong" versions? [02:45] keepsake: ah tbh i think i'm too newb to deduce any further! distro updates scare me so i may be tempted to give in to reinstalling like Viper1432 says :S [02:45] where can i get some expert advice on a BootChart :>? [02:45] keepsake: i might tar everything in ~/ myself and add back only the configs for apps you need if you test it as working [02:45] jeffreyf, I'm out in the hall way, and they don't seem to improve any. I can still hear the headphones fine untill I move the mouse [02:45] daftykins: Haha, thanks anyway, I'll see if I can figure something out. It's weird that a secondary account works though. [02:45] Dr_Willis: I should clarify that when I said smb share, I meant a windows share I had cifs mounted. Would doing anything to my smb.conf actually affect this? [02:46] daftykins: Would ubuntu boot with everything in ~ tar'd? [02:46] keepsake: yeah makes it sound like it must be configs :S good luck :) [02:46] jonaskoelker, I see what you mean now one is looking for an earlier version the other just says can not be installed === maXTC is now known as shueddue [02:46] keepsake: two ways to find out :) pretty sure booting'd be fine, maybe not logging in with X [02:47] ultraparadigm I was attempting to see if you had interference from other electronics.... [02:47] jeffreyf, do you think it's that they are forced to use the same channel? [02:47] ultraparadigm...give me a moment [02:47] daftykins: Hmm, is there a way to check what files are read/loaded on log-in? [02:47] ok [02:47] keepsake: not sure i'm afraid [02:47] bigdavjoker: it seems like a bug to me---I'd want packages to have their dependencies met by only other packages from the same release [02:47] morning [02:47] bigdavjoker: ... and I think it's in the ubuntu policy manual (if it has one)---if not, then the debian policy manual [02:47] Tanthrix: the smb.conf is for smb/cifs shares that it is controlling, it has no effect on cifs shares that you are a client for [02:48] jeffreyf, I'm going to disconnect the mouse now that i'm outside and reconnect it [02:48] http://www.dpaste.com/146720 <---- what about this xorg.conf file could be stopping my keyboard and mouse from working when I start gnome? [02:48] if you have a macbook, please contact me [02:48] Tanthrix: i dont think anything in smb.conf would affect teh speeds of a windows -> linux samba transfer [02:48] hello [02:48] ultraparadigm. what model headphones? [02:48] meganerd: That's what I figured. So that means, speeding up cifs mounts will need to be done elsewhere. [02:48] i miss my input devices [02:49] It's just so strange - I've got the same share mounted on both this old arch system, and my new ubuntu system. Side by side, it takes a half second to list all the files on the old arch system, and 6 seconds for Ubuntu. [02:49] jonaskoelker, Yeah I was a bit confused I thought if it was in the list that was the point that it should be able to get whatever it depened on I found one other forum a couple people were having the same problem but not responses thanks for the help [02:49] installed ubuntu 9.10 on an old setup with a Netgear 802.11g card. LSPCI lists the card as gammagraphx or missing ID or some junk, best way to install the driver and make it work?

[02:50] Tanthrix: correct. chances the problem is your network or disk IO [02:50] ultraparadigm ht series? [02:50] can someone have a look at this bootchart and let me know what i can do to speed up boot time? http://imagebin.org/80430 [02:50] ultraparadigm with hands free mic? [02:51] should my hostapd config be in /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf [02:51] melwtech35: what are you trying to do other than make booting faster? I have never understood this desire. I wouold wait 5 minutes for boot if it meant a more stable system [02:51] it doesn't seem to take there [02:52] anyone here have netgear w311? [02:52] <{chmod}755> meganerd, I completely, whole-heartedly concur. [02:52] with /etc/init.d/hostapd start [02:52] 5 min boot time for a 5 week+ uptime.. :) [02:52] meganerd: I don't know if that's the case, since I can copy to both of these systems at the exact same rate. [02:52] meganerd, not to make it unstable but perhaps trim some of the unnecessary stuff ubuntu has? its a laptop so fast shutdown and start up is necessary [02:52] Tanthrix: so what is slow? I just got back so I missed most of the background [02:53] where does google chromium (browser) store its prefs? [02:53] jeffreyf, it's a Motorokr S9 Bluetooth Stereo Headset [02:53] meganerd: No problem. What is slow is the file traversal. It takes a half second to ls -R 3000 files on this samba share on my old system, and 6-7 seconds on my new system. [02:53] melwtech35: my primary system is a laptop, 9.10 is faster than 9.04, I am not sure how fast I could get it to go [02:53] On Ubuntu using Dust theme, it seems like there is only 1px to grab onto at the window edge. Anyone else notice this? Any remidies out there? [02:53] jefferyf, yes it has a mic in it too [02:54] meganerd, current boot time says 1 minute, thats a lot, i guess i shoulda gone with gentoo [02:54] Tanthrix: check /var/log/samba on the server, it keeps per host data there [02:54] jefferyf, but I can use the mic with a stereo profile [02:54] melwtech35: the best thing you could do is install an Intel SSD [02:54] how do i use ATI drivers? [02:54] jeffreyf, but I can use the mic with a stereo profile [02:55] jeffreyf, opps, I mean I can't* use the mic with a stereo profile [02:55] meganerd, theres no "remove all junk" option for ubuntu desktop im guessing :( [02:55] lspci | grep VGA [02:55] 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS482 [Radeon Xpress 200M] [02:55] ATI driver for that [02:55] meganerd: Nothing in there looks different or out of place. Would a cifs mounted share log to there anyway? [02:55] meganerd: My issues are purely with traversing a windows share across the network, not traversing a samba share from my windows machine. [02:56] hello all [02:56] meganerd, can i uninstall this pulseaudio ? [02:56] //u [02:56] daftykins, Viper1432: Thanks for your help, I've managed to stumble upon the solution: rename as many hidden folder as I can =D I've lost all of my settings but at least it works now. [02:56] melwtech35: yes, but I doubt it has any effect on boot time [02:57] keepsake: cool :) [02:57] meganerd, so ubuntu installs Alsa and PulseAudio ? is there a need for both? or is it safe to remove [02:57] daftykins: Although, I have to say, this will be a bit tedious, restoring this many settings =P [02:57] keepsake, sorry was afk there for r/l, but glad you figured it out! :) [02:58] Viper1432: Thanks =D [02:58] melwtech35: pulse runs on top of alsa, it makes it easier to connect various audio apps [02:58] what's the best wifi app to use with a netbook and linux? I use wpa2? thanks [02:58] melwtech35, pulse DEPENDS upon alsa. If it works...don't futz with it. lol [02:58] <{chmod}755> Coffee anyone? [02:58] this isn't a media PC though i dont use sound and that really [02:58] melwtech35: this is actually a complex question, I would leave it alone unless you really know what you are doing [02:59] gotta run again, beback later. [02:59] no one is active in #xubuntu. if i can't edit menu.lst, how can i fix the xubuntu shutdown problem in 9.10?

[03:00] binMonkey: I'm confused as to what you are trying to do [03:00] jeffreyf, did you get my last reply? [03:00] yxz97: The repo is 3.5, I'm pretty sure [03:00] I want the 3.5 how can I get it with apt-get ? [03:00] yxz97: which version of ubuntu? [03:01] yxz97: sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade firefox [03:01] <{chmod}755> yxz97, When each release of Ubuntu is developed it has feature and package freezes. If a package is old in the repo it's because of the freeze. It'll be corrected in the update(s).

The 9.04 repos are older than the 9.10 repos. [03:01] i hate to keep on repeat typing identfy myself [03:02] binMonkey: read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [03:02] <{chmod}755> phong_, Yes in Network manager.

[03:03] ziroday: i've read that. it doesn't tell me what file to edit. [03:03] ultra, i think you can turn that off [03:03] I mean its just from 9.04 to 9.10 is change isn't abismal.. [03:03] yxz97: Yes, but you'll have to download and install the .deb yourself. [03:03] binMonkey: sorry, you want to add apm=force as a boot option correct? [03:03] ok what about auto join channel [03:03] ultraparadigm: I think you have xchat filter out lines like that. [03:03] yxz97: Is there a specific reason you don't want to upgrade to karmic? [03:04] yxz97, you can download firefox 3.5 from mozilla website and then extract it and add firefox shell script with alacarte. [03:04] <{chmod}755> phong_, in the same screen you were just in just type in channels you want to autojoin. Like this -> #Ubuntu,#Linux, etc. [03:04] <{chmod}755> No spaces between commas and the next channel.

[03:23] Flannel, keepsake its an ATI radeon 5650 [03:23] mobility HD (laptop) [03:24] ae86-drifter: You might need to manually install drivers from ATI [03:24] ae86-drifter: Are you running karmic? [03:25] keepsake, they do not seem to have it there, ATI's site says to refer to vendor's site which is Acer, yes im running karmic.

[03:26] please help. [03:26] you guys are a lil more active than #samba right now think one of you might can help please? [03:26] ae86-drifter: Also, 32bit or 64bit? [03:26] yxz97, it's called shiretoko not firefox. [03:27] what ? how, they change firefox name to shiretoko ? [03:27] really? [03:27] ae86-drifter: Nevermind, I see what you mean. You'll probably need to wait until they release a version for Linux then =\ [03:28] yxz97, shiretoko is codename for ff 3.5 [03:28] where do you have it ? [03:28] no after updatedb && locate shiretoko, get nothing.. [03:28] hell [03:28] yxz97, can you see it on internet menu?

Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [03:50] * Dr_Willis dosent work if he can help it. [03:51] I tell it to update every 5 mins, but when the ip updates to a new one, and I don't know it, I check to find that noip2 hasn't updated yet [03:52] Hello all, I could use some advice, I have purchased a external usb harddrive, right now it is formatted with fat32 one big partition, everything was working fine until I wanted to make a file larger than 2GB :( I want to format it so that I can use it to store large files but I also want (no need) to make it plug and play with windows [03:52] I type slow btw, so I was typing the why I think it dosen't work when the warning message about "dosen't work" [03:53] cane up [03:53] *came [03:53] ShapeShifter499: try inadyn I guess [03:53] seeking some help with getting a droboshare to mount under ubuntu 9.10. i can map to it via Places/Connect to Server but figuring out the actual mounting process is giving me some trouble [03:53] pfifo, i would put a ntfs partition on it if i needed to use it with windows, or and ext3 if i didn't [03:53] jrib: ok [03:54] blendmaster1024, but is NTFS going to pose a problem with linux? and can i move from computer to computer in windows with NTFS without permission problems? [03:54] jrib: I googled it, it looks promising [03:54] ShapeShifter499: it's in the repositories [03:55] it should work just fine with windows. as for linux, ubuntu will work fine, but most other linuxes won't [03:55] jrib: not on my ubuntu comp atm so I had to google it [03:56] so how can i create a bootable iso copy of my ubuntu installation? All packages drivers etc etc... [03:56] jrib: thanks for the help btw [03:57] hmm, thanks for the help, its worth a shot failing this im going to repartition with a small fat32 file system at the beginning that contains ext2 drivers for windows, which is kinda ugly but next best thing. [03:57] i do want to exclude a few folders [03:58] I [03:58] I'm going to go [03:58] bye [03:59] Also btw, I remember linux had a great virus scanner that could be used to scan a windows partition from linux, what was that package again? [03:59] pfifo: clamav? [03:59] ty, thats it [04:00] Blender wont run, if i run from the terminal it says Segmentation Fault. Who can help me? [04:00] guys, is there a command way to add a repository? [04:02] isolat3dsh33p: yes there is.. but i forget teh command. [04:02] isolat3dsh33p: what type of repo? [04:02] ppa? [04:02] hello i need help in that i get error while i install svn http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m1869df54 [04:02] I see it on the various ppa repo instructions all the time [04:02] isolat3dsh33p, if you're adding a PPA to Karmic check out the "add-apt-repository" command - very handy [04:03] happy, not sure really. [04:03] isolat3dsh33p: I would just make a file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d and add it there [04:03] any idea? [04:03] Blender wont run, if i run from the terminal it says Segmentation Fault. Who can help me? [04:04] happy, done that. But using single line command is more awesome. :) ZykoticK9 not sure if it's a PPA. :/ [04:04] hello i need help in that i get error while i install svn http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m1869df54 any idea ? [04:04] isolat3dsh33p: what is the repo you want to add? [04:04] Can you plug a DVI-I cable into a DVI-D socket? (from my DVI-I graphics card to my DVI-D monitor) [04:04] happy, Ethereal's a debian repository :/ [04:05] its wireshark now [04:05] isolat3dsh33p: I think you need to add it by hand :-\ [04:05] ? [04:05] I'm having major trouble with Ubuntu. My network is being hogged by some hidden program [04:05] Kentrel: top [04:06] I booted into Ubuntu just now, and there was something uploading at 180kb/s. All of my processes except Xorg and System monitor were sleeping [04:06] Both cores of my AMD were running at about 50%! [04:06] ubuntu Hardy > i need help in that i get error while i install svn http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m1869df54 any idea ? [04:06] happy, sighs. Thanks anyway. :) [04:06] But I couldn't see what was doing it in the process viewer! [04:06] This may not be the right place, but can someone direct me to where I could know whether to SSL the connection to an IRC server or SSL to a proxy and then connect through them. Someone was telling me the other day that IRC has security holes (why I cant use it on campus machines) [04:07] fuck amd sucks why dont they release drivers for my graphics card [04:07] is there a decent alternative for the proprietory ones [04:07] sgtmattbaker: just ssh into a remote host then use a consonle client from said host [04:07] !language | ae86-drifter [04:07] ae86-drifter: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [04:08] Blender wont run, if i run from the terminal it says Segmentation Fault. Who can help me? [04:08] CAPcap_ try #blender [04:08] zenlunatic: I dont have any secure hosts set up and I dont have any proxy services I pay for [04:08] sgtmattbaker: you can also use screen but that might be complicated [04:08] Sounds like an issue with the open gl libraries [04:09] sgtmattbaker: oh well thats my suggestion good luck [04:09] sgtmattbaker: you can get a shell at ispeeds,net for $4/month [04:09] sgtmattbaker: whoever is telling you about irc sounds dumb no offense [04:10] sgtmattbaker: ie has far more holes they should ban it too [04:10] zenlunatic: Well, it is banned on the student computers in the computer science lab at least, and the guy who works in the tech center says that the MUDs and IRC aren't allowed because of it [04:10] sgtmattbaker: at least unpatched win boxes to be fair [04:10] sgtmattbaker: I agree with zenlunatic [04:11] Can anyone help me? Something is taking over my system and uploading at 200kb/s! i can't find what process it could be [04:11] Yeah, IE probably has more security holes. What about firefox? [04:11] I ran Wireshark and I got a whole bunch of packets signed as 16 unsigned audio data [04:11] sgtmattbaker: kinda off topic at this point [04:11] Kentrel: maybe netstat can give you that info. How do you know something is uploading? [04:11] sgtmattbaker: the statement 'irc has security holes' is about as valid as saying 'web browsers and servers have security holes' [04:12] Because I right click on the system monitor and it says Uploading at 200 kb/s [04:12] 'computers and operating systems have security holes' [04:12] And I can barely connect to any sites [04:12] I tried netstat, but netstat ran really slow, pausing for up to a minute between showing the next item [04:12] sgtmattbaker: maybe talk to his supervisor *shrug* [04:13] sgtmattbaker: what everyone is saying is right. But as a high school kid. My suggestion is to not listen to them and pipe your data through a shell at ispeeds.net. It costs less than$4/month [04:13] Yeah, I really want to set up a secure connection to a secure proxy and secure anything I do network wise [04:13] I just want to at least encrypt my connection for the web surfing and other network stuff I do at work [04:13] there are some free shell accounts on there but next to all of them disallow irc [04:13] i just installed ubunu 9.10 using the minimal iso which i set to have the ubuntu desktop profile, i am getting a command line when i boot but i am curious how i get it to automatically boot into a window system (like it does when you do a typical install form live cd) do i need to configure/install something [04:13] ive noticed many 'free' internet places at hospitals and so forth blocking more and more every month. [04:14] sgtmattbaker:you can get a vpn, shell, ect [04:14] fission6: gdm [04:14] Dr_Willis: this is why you tunnel everything through ssh [04:14] sgtmattbaker: setting up a home server is a great fun project to pursue [04:14] arghh2d2: fission6: gdm -> sudo apt-get gnome-desktop-manager? [04:15] fission6: affirmitave [04:15] I hate to keep this in #ubuntu, but I have a couple more questions if you are willin g [04:16] will that make it load automatically on reboot or do i need to add that to something so i go straight to GUI and not ocmmand line? [04:16] okay, so next time I have this strange problem, what can I do to block the IP address? [04:16] sgtmattbaker: is that nick an homage to primus? [04:17] fission6: gdm is your keyword, plug that into google [04:17] arghh2d2: No, but I udnerstand what you are talking about. It is actually the name of the main character in the Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30 and Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway video game [04:17] fission6: i dont use gdm or even ubuntu [04:18] i am, and i am comfortable installing it i just dont want to have to type startx i want it to boot straight to the gui [04:18] oh ok [04:18] sgtmattbaker: right on, maybe the video game was inspired by the song [04:19] arghh2d2: The name may have been but the game is supposed to be one of the more realistic series, so the characters are based on actual people that served in WW2 [04:20] !ot | sgtmattbaker arghh2d2 [04:20] sgtmattbaker arghh2d2: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[04:28] having trouble getting a droboshare to mount under ubuntu 9.10. i can map to it via Places/Connect to Server but the actual mounting process is giving me some trouble. [04:28] i've tried sudo mount -t drobo/drobo /mnt/drobo but it keeps returning "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on drobo/drobo, missing codepage or helper program, or other error" [04:29] Anyone knows how to play with Wireshark? In the capture options, there's IP address is unknown, and I'm not sure what to put in the interface area. :( === Nightw0lf is now known as Nightwolf [04:31] bovine: You mean to say you can manually mount it via the gui. but you want to do so via the command line? [04:31] is there a way to generate random passwords in ubuntu? [04:33] do I need to be root to run Wireshark? :/ [04:33] isolat3dsh33p: if you have to ask that maybe you shouldn't be using something like wireshark [04:34] isolat3dsh33p: very likely [04:35] blakkheim, it's an assignment =_= | Dr_Willis, like « gksudo wireshark » ? [04:37] I got this warning-> "Running as root could be dangerous", but I continued. I'm not sure which interface should be used. I'm using wireless. My lab manual is for Windows =_= [04:38] isolat3dsh33p: man wireshark [04:38] blakkheim, ok, thanks ;) [04:39] what packages are required to mount NFS exports from a NFS server? [04:39] isolat3dsh33p, as root you will be able to capture on the psuedo interface all traffic as reg user you wont [04:39] suprsonic: nfs-common [04:40] blakkheim: anything else I need to do after that? [04:40] suprsonic: all you asked was the package name [04:41] http://pastebin.com/d3d5b261d === Damn3d is now known as damn3d [04:41] that's what Im getting when trying to mount a FreeBSD export [04:41] which package installs 'system->preferences->power management'? i tried devicekit-power, but thats not it [04:42] DILS-VBOX, I've run it as root, and I think I catch some packets. And i feel l337 LOL. I'm not sure why I got the warning it could be dangerous to run as root though. :( [04:42] isolat3dsh33p: vulnerabilities in wireshark [04:42] isolat3dsh33p: because its dangerous to run anything as root to some degree [04:43] can someone at least check what that menu item calls? i can search for that [04:44] blakkheim, Dr_Willis, ouch. But I need to finish this assignment. :( Thanks. ^.~ [04:44] ymanton: gnome-power-preferences [04:45] thanks blakkheim [04:45] IdleOne: thanks [04:46] ymanton: that's not it sorry [04:47] ymanton: gnome-power-manager should be right [04:48] I am not able to delete directories on my samba share unless I chmod them to 777 which requires opening an ssh connection, the drive is encrypted but unlocked and I can read/write to it just not delete some dirs..... [04:48] yeah, google found it, thanks [04:48] NotTooSmart: even with rm -rf [04:48] NotTooSmart: or the same with sudo in front? [04:48] scunizi, with right click on windows... [04:49] scunizi, the ubuntu machine is my server [04:49] NotTooSmart: ah.. windows client and linux host.. most likely it's something in the samba config.. unfortunately I don't know samba that well [04:50] #samba is quiet right now can someone help me? [04:50] scunizi, heh, I'm pretty sure the samba config is correct since it worked before [04:50] razertek, whats your issue? [04:51] k [04:51] i cannot see my self in nautilus the network part [04:51] but i can my dads machine and borthers [04:51] NotTooSmart: works with the exception of deleting directories.. so if that worked before but doesn't now then something changed.. you might look for an autobackup of the samba.conf or smb.conf file, check the date and compare it to what is currently being used. maybe an update changed something. [04:52] scunizi, my smb.conf is only like 10 lines [04:52] http://pastebin.com/m5da0851b [04:52] set up some shares and check yoru workgroup razertek ? [04:53] yea its all there...look at my pastebin [04:54] testparm reports back fine [04:54] razertek, try editing mine... backup yours first though [04:54] http://pastebin.com/m633ee322 [04:54] k [04:54] i was wanting my security set to user [04:54] is this ok? [04:54] razertek, if it works for you yea [04:55] whats the file stanza for exactly [04:55] NotTooSmart: * [04:55] thats the name [04:56] NotTooSmart: was wondering how it could help making my pc appearant on the network [04:57] razertek, because that config works to my knowledge, so if you edited it to your needs it might work for you... [04:57] k [04:57] i'll try adding it [04:58] can someone help me figure out how to implement the fix mentioned towards the bottom of this page? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/istanbul/+bug/63996?comments=all [04:58] now i will have to reboot to see if it works becuae it might just by resetting the server but that is totaly different from having it work everytime the pc boots [04:59] zetheroo: What post#? [04:59] razertek, sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart [04:59] um [04:59] when i install subversion: Depends: libsvn1 error any idea ? [04:59] razertek, no need to restart [05:00] itz best to use 'sudo service whatever restart' also [05:00] keepsake: #54 I think ...? [05:00] yea that generally makes things work...but not on reboot [05:00] razertek, um, yea its going to work on reboot too.. [05:00] I am not able to delete directories on my samba share unless I chmod them to 777 which requires opening an ssh connection, the drive is encrypted but unlocked and I can read/write to it just not delete some dirs..... [05:01] zetheroo: You'll have to download the source and the diff file, and patch the original file with the diff; then compile. [05:01] thers some options in the smb.conf file for default directory/files permiossions [05:01] N1XF0RC3: Have you tried updating the libsvn1? [05:01] Dr_Willis, i have them all set to 0777 [05:02] NotTooSmart: k i was just wondering how sometimes when i edit the smb.conf and do a samba restart it gets thhings working but when i reboot the next time they are not [05:02] N1XF0RC3: If you go into synaptic and type in "libsvn1", do you see a newer version you can update to? [05:02] NotTooSmart: the samba permiisons are applied when someone puts/makes a file/dir in the share. the current permissiins of the directory do not apply [05:02] razertek, weird, its the same config file, so as long as samba loads on boot it should be consistent [05:02] yea thats what i thought [05:02] i am still learning =) [05:03] Dr_Willis, well, the dirs are being made by a program run in 'sudo' on the ubuntu machine, is that the problem, and if so how do I fix? [05:03] keepsake: ok ... so should I remove the version i have currently installed? [05:03] Dr_Willis, not running in sudo is not an option either. [05:03] zetheroo: Yes; you'll have to recompile a new version from source. [05:03] NotTooSmart: what does /crypt represent as a whole [05:03] keepsake: oh I see ... [05:04] razertek, on my system or to you? its the shared directory [05:04] NotTooSmart: the samba service has options as to what permissions are set - on files/dirs on creation. from the smb.conf file --> [05:04] # File creation mask is set to 0700 for security reasons. If you want to [05:04] # create files with group=rw permissions, set next parameter to 0775. [05:05] NotTooSmart: yes...but is it like a config folder for having things work in the smb.conf as a whole or just some share you have and i dont? [05:05] thats setable on a per share basis i do belive. [05:05] Dr_Willis, the problem is, im not creating the dir's on windows, and I have directory mask = 0777 already [05:05] keepsake: I found the website for Istanbul ... there is a tar.bz2 download and the Ubuntu .deb downloads [05:06] Ubuntu refuses to let me log in.

Be back in a while [05:09] im trying to package my own shared library, and the packages i install from launchpad dont actually install the library (or its header files). does anybody know whats going on? [05:09] zetheroo: Actually, I'm sorry, download the deb instead. [05:09] TY [05:09] keepsake: oh really? [05:09] Then patch the deb with the debdiff [05:10] here's a tough one, say you had a folder with lots of subfolders, some are filled with rars some are not. How would u go about extracting all the files from each of the folders with rar files [05:10] I don't want to do this one by 1 [05:10] zetheroo: Follow these instructions: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuPackagingGuide/BuildFromDebdiff?highlight=%28debdiff%29 [05:10] rahduke: with some fancy scripting. [05:10] NotTooSmart: i can see myself now but i cannot mount myself [05:10] keepsake: ok [05:10] Dr_Willis: care to point me in the right direction? [05:10] razertek, mount your self?

It is also viewable via web at http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ [05:11] NotTooSmart: when i double click on my name in network [05:11] rahduke: and creative use of the find command. [05:11] through nautilus [05:11] rahduke, not sure if this would work, but an ls /dir/* | grep .rar > unrar or something?? [05:11] Dr_Willis: prolly faster to do it 1 by one then learn how to write bash scripts [05:11] rahduke: yep. depends on your needs.. you go 10 to do.. or 10,0000 [05:11] razertek, why do you need to view your own files over the network on your local machine? [05:11] bout 120 or so [05:11] rahduke, bash scripting is as easy as typing in the bash [05:12] I tend to avoide silly rar archives [05:12] !info unp | rahduke [05:12] Out_Cold: I really don't know the 1st thing about bash [05:12] rahduke: unp (source: unp): unpack (almost) everything with one command. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.15 (karmic), package size 10 kB, installed size 76 kB [05:12] well it makes for good propagation of a network setup to be able to do so ande also tells me if others will be able to access my machine by testing it on mine [05:12] rahduke, then maybe 1x1. i can script but for the things i know how to do.. i've never tried to script for un-raring before [05:13] since win users like to double click =) [05:13] razertek, i am not sure, my ubuntu server does not use a GUI, so I usually just test from windows [05:13] Out_Cold: can you tell me how to sort my folders by how many files are contained within? [05:13] anyone have any ideas on http://pastebin.com/m189fa215 i can't mount my nfs [05:14] if i used the split command on a file, how do i unsplit it? [05:14] NotTooSmart: thankyou for helping me though [05:14] rahduke, that would be an ls option if there is one [05:14] uplinx, cat file1 file2 file3 [05:14] ah thanks Out_Cold [05:14] ** cat f1 f2 f3 > newfile [05:14] Out_Cold: Ill check it out [05:16] Out_Cold: did you mount from /dev? [05:17] razertek, it's not a /dev [05:17] i can try though i guess.. [05:18] no that won't work because the exportfs is what i should mount [05:18] anyone know what the command is to apply a patch to source code? [05:18] zetheroo: man patch [05:19] zetheroo: Follow the instructions, it says to "cd PACKAGE-* && patch -pl < ../DEBDIFF" [05:19] what are the recommended folders to backup in a desktop appart from /home and /etc? [05:19] /usr? [05:19] Out_Cold: so you are using udp? [05:20] zetheroo: You need to change the PACKAGE with the name of the package and DEBDIFF with the .debdiff file [05:20] Out_Cold: how about you remove your INPUT iptables rules altogether? [05:20] morphix, i will try that [05:20] out_cold [05:20] keepsake: what is the debdiff? It says to download the debdiff ... [05:20] they seem pointless as you have allowed all and then.. allowed a few port indiviaul aswell [05:21] razertek, tcp i'm pretty sure [05:21] Out_Cold: change: 2049/tcp open   nfs to 2049/udp open   nfs [05:21] zetheroo: This file: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/36229421/istanbul_0.2.2-5ubuntu1.debdiff [05:21] nfs is atop udp not tcp [05:21] learning as i read from my book [05:21] keepsake: ok thanks [05:22] yea it must be that rule.. perhaps it is udp then [05:22] it mounts now without the rules so i guess i should figure out the rules a bit more [05:23] keepsake: so I paste that text into gedit and save it as .debdiff [05:23] zetheroo: Yup [05:23] Out_Cold: maybe you dont have to erase the rules just try changing it to udp [05:24] it's a pain trying to figure out which apps access which files like /etc/hosts.allow and firestarter and iptables [05:24] NotttooSmart: I was ablt to log in but there is no graphics. [05:24] razertek, i already erased them... best i do again and get the experience [05:25] The graphical log in doesn't work. [05:26] Out_Cold: true...but use whereis to find apps and their related files [05:26] Dishtroyer: I don't know what the context is, but have you tried startx? [05:27] how do i use redirect to iptables-restore? like iptables-restore < /iptables.bk [05:27] keepsake: what is startx? [05:27] > [05:27] to restore though? won't that overwrite it? [05:28] well there is more use a redirect with append options and not overwrite [05:28] Dishtroyer: It starts X, the graphic thing. [05:28] like >> [05:29] Dishtroyer: I don't really know what your problem is though, sorry >__< [05:29] Here is the context. Ubuntu will not allow me to log in using the graphical interface. Nottoosmart told me to try a cntrl+alt+F2 [05:29] Dishtroyer: Are you in TTY? [05:30] keepsake it will allow me to log in in tty mode [05:30] razertek, i wanted to pipe the contents of /iptable.bk to iptables-restore. I tried your way and overwrote it.. had to use the < [05:30] Dishtroyer: In TTY type startx [05:30] I am currently using windows at the moment [05:31] keepsake: OK.. I have to reboot. Thank you. [05:31] example: ls >> test.txt [05:31] should work [05:32] Out_Cold: or did you try << [05:33] razertek, single < did the trick [05:33] why isn't root internal mails forwarded to the main admin user by default?? [05:33] I restarted my Ubuntu server, which completely messed up MySQL. I've tried to completely uninstall it, and install a new copy. It always fails on the sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start. How can I completely remove the package? [05:33] I must be doing something wrong. [05:33] Hilikus: i ran into those once.. but I've forgotten were to look for them.. where did you find them? [05:34] blah569: start in safe mode and remove it [05:34] scunizi: /etc/aliases [05:34] Out_Cold: but gets overwritten? [05:34] Hilikus: How can I remove it though? What packages do I need to remove? [05:34] blah569: why do you want to remove it? [05:34] no.. the > overwrote not < [05:35] why not try to fix the problems [05:35] please, could anybody talk to me about gpg validation? i read that if some trusted friend validates a key, and you add that key, then that key is automatically validated because your trusted friend has it already validated it. But what's up with validation? what's the diff between a validated key and a not valid one? [05:35] Hilikus: It's broken. I restarted my server, and then whenever I try to use: sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start [FAIL] is returned. I didn't change anything. It doesn't work anymore. [05:35] o [05:35] It's very annoying that it just completely stopped working without changing anything. [05:35] so the < appends as well? [05:35] obiwan_: #gnupg can probably answer that a lot better than we can [05:35] blah569: thats no reason to remove mysql, just fix it. what errors do you get? [05:35] blah569: try sudo service mysql start .. might also be mysql5 [05:36] Out_Cold: so the < will append aswell? [05:37] razertek, the < pipes backwards... no appending [05:37] thanks Flannel it's funny, two days asking for that channel, and i found it a couple hours before (nobody has yet answered my question there btw ) and now not only i find the channel, but you know it too :P . thanks anyway Flannel i'm about to be officially ubunter and just wanted to know thaat before signing with my key :) [05:37] scunizi: * Starting MySQL database server mysqld [fail] - is what I get when using sudo service mysql start [05:37] razertek, instead of > to file it's < from file [05:37] blah569: when you installed did it ask for a password? [05:38] blah569: check the logs [05:38] scunizi: it asked for a password [05:38] blah569: not for the install itself but for the database access [05:38] syslog or whatever is in /var/log/mysql [05:38] blah569: why do you have mysql to begin with? [05:38] to append use double arrows instead [05:38] thats what i thought at first now i am back to knowing that =) [05:39] Hilikus: It's the database engine that I use for my sever [05:39] sry actuall just right arrows append, left ones mean heredoc [05:39] obiwan_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto When you sign someone's key (different than signing a file), you're saying that they are who they claim to be, and their key is their own. And then separately, you can set how 'paranoid' you are with your trust (if you trust someone your friend trusts, etc). #gnupg can give you all sorts of nice details that I can't [05:40] there's a good guide about forwarding , they told me the link in #bash channel, maybe you can ask there for it [05:41] blah569: check the logs and take it from there [05:41] the log is empty [05:41] which one? [05:41] okay, somehow using the kill select did not completely kill firefox [05:41] nvm [05:41] the /var/log/mysql is empty Hilikus [05:42] check /var/log/mysql (dir) and /var/log/mysql.log and /var/log/mysql.err [05:43] ok Flannel i get it :) [05:43] my printer is setup.. and its working, but if i go to print a particular pdf file using "document viewer" .. i can see the job go into the queue, the activity light on the printer starts flashing.. then it just disappears from the queue and nothing is printed out :( [05:43] Flannel: and thanks again :) [05:44] can't seem to get it right with the udp rules [05:44] what alternatives apart from document viewer.. can i use to print pdf files reliably? [05:44] sudo nano /var/log/mysql.log returns empty [05:44] or should i just do it from windows in a virtual machine [05:44] snadge: did you check it's paper right? [05:44] snadge: how many printers does your system have listed as installed? [05:44] yes.. paper is loaded.. i can print.. my guess is document viewer.. or the rendering process is crashing [05:44] just the one.. a hp laserjet 5M connected via lpt1 [05:44] mysql.log exists too === ruffus910 is now known as narcorn [05:45] thats almost as old as my laserjet 6L :) [05:45] blah569: what abour .err [05:45] snadge: sometimes it works better if you print the pdf to another pdf then print that one to the printer. === narcorn is now known as ruffus910 [05:45] snadge: some pdf's are quirky [05:45] interesting idea.. so how do i print to pdf? [05:46] my new iptables: http://pastebin.com/m43759551 still can't nfs mount [05:46] ahh, mysql.err is empty too Hilikus [05:46] i wonder if i can install adobe's acroreader on linux [05:46] snadge: Sure. Check out Medibuntu. [05:46] snadge: you have to add/install another printer.. the easy way might be sudo apt-get install cupspdf .. perhaps cups-pdf [05:46] !medibuntu > snadge [05:46] snadge, please see my private message [05:47] snadge, do a search in synaptic.. there are tons of pdf readers.. one should do what you want it to [05:47] snadge: adobe is slow and a resource hog [05:47] Applications > Sound and Video > Pulse Audio Volume Control > (Volume Control [window]) shows the »Internal Audio Analog Stereo« loudspeaker symbol as muted. How can I unmute it? [05:47] blah569: ok so you need to turn on debugging and see what it says [05:47] ok lots of ideas to try now :) [05:47] snadge: Also, for Windows program compatibility check appdb. [05:47] bullgard, run alsamixer from the terminal and use the M key to mute/unmute [05:47] snadge: a new viewer might not fix your printing problem though [05:47] !appdb > snadge [05:47] snadge, please see my private message [05:47] blah569: are you sure you are opening existing files and not just creating empty files that don't exist? [05:48] snadge, linux is the foundation of new and exciting ideas ;) [05:48] 1 problem 236729 solutions :p [05:51] does ubuntu come with a frontend for crontab or i still need to use the text editor? [05:51] Out_Cold: alsamixer shows only the controls »Master M«, »Mic Boos« and »External« as muted. Which control do you mean specifically? [05:51] Hilikus: text editor [05:51] scunizi: thanks [05:52] bullgard, which one were you having troubles with?? in my experience with linux... play with it till you either break it or fix it ;) [05:53] Out_Cold: While that's a good idea, am I the only one that ends up breaking it 90% of the time =P [05:53] keepsake, mine's always broken.. [05:53] Out_Cold: I think today was the first time I did something that didn't break it. [05:53] hence why i spend so much time in here. i just end up helping noobs while i wait for the real gurus [05:53] Out_Cold: Haha, that's true. I do that too =P [05:54] keepsake: I got in.. but I had to use recovery mode [05:54] Dishtroyer: Interesting. You're in X now? [05:55] Out_Cold: I told you what is bothering me: a muted loudspeker symbol. This inhibits GNOME event sounds. "Play with it" without saying what is 'it' is no precise recipe. [05:55] keepsake: I assume so. I have all my programs back [05:56] bullgard, if there was a precise recipe for everything.... it's the master MM highlight that and then check again [05:56] **use M to unmute [05:56] leepsake: but I have to figure out how to get the graphical login to work. I'd hate to have to go through this every time [05:56] Out_Cold: Thank you for commenting. [05:56] keepsake: hey thanks ... I completed that and now the application is working 100% [05:57] zetheroo: That's great =). Patching is a pretty useful skill, I'm glad you managed to learn it yourself =D [05:57] ok it appears acrobat reader can print out this pdf.. but not document viewer.. oh well :) [05:58] Anyone know anyting about speeding up CIFS mounted windows shares? [05:58] I've got a weird situation going on with two different systems, one taking 1/4 second to traverse a mount, and the other 6-7 seconds. [05:58] bullgard, most of us helping are not too much better than you at the moment... but playing around with anything is a decent idea.. just know or ask in regards to what you are doing... usually someone in here just went through what you did [05:58] (The latter being a Ubuntu 9.10 system) [05:58] is it just me or does Ubuntu One work kinda slowly ... especially though a browser ... !? [05:59] i haven't actually used it.. i normally use my nfs server which is ummm broken :p [05:59] keepsake: Oh crud. Now ubuntu won't let me mount drives. It says I'm not authorized [06:00] speaking of which... can anyone tell me what's wrong with my iptables for nfs?? http://pastebin.com/m43759551 [06:00] Dishtroyer, use sudo mount [06:00] Dishtroyer: Have you tried reconfiguring xserver-xorg? [06:01] How do I completely disable the touchpad, and then re-enable it when needed? [06:01] Out_Cold: Better wait a bit longer for those gurus you were talking about =P [06:01] keepsake: I'm as noobie as they come when it comes to linux.. [06:01] bullgard, did the master fix your problem? [06:01] Dishtroyer: I am too, don't worry. Try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" [06:02] keepsake, or an angel sent from above ;) [06:02] No, it did not. Same situation (no sound output) remains. [06:02] Out_Cold: Damn, how could I have forgotten. [06:02] !wireless [06:02] Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [06:02] can i use Ubuntu One to share files with others? [06:02] keepsake: OK I did that. [06:02] Dishtroyer: Did the reconfigure work? [06:03] I don't know. [06:03] zetheroo, I thinks that's the objective of it [06:03] Dishtroyer: Only one way to find out. [06:03] Oh crud.... [06:03] Dishtroyer: Get used to it =P It's part of using Linux [06:03] Out_Cold: yeah I thought so too ... just am trying to figure out how to do so .. [06:04] zetheroo, are you at the website? [06:04] Out_Cold: yes [06:04] OK BBIAW [06:04] Out_Cold: and I have uploaded the file I want to share [06:04] give me a minute to get settled with dinner and i'll look into it with you [06:05] Out_Cold: no worries ... cheers [06:05] !one [06:05] Ubuntu One is a service where you can back up, store, sync and share your data with other Ubuntu One users - For more see https://one.ubuntu.com/ [06:05] !one | zetheroo [06:05] zetheroo: please see above [06:06] Miracle: cheers [06:06] np [06:06] Miracle: do you use Ubuntu One? [06:07] doeI have my iphone 3g mounted but cannot get the iphone to play new songs, does anyone know how to get it to work? [06:07] zetheroo - no not yet [06:09] zetheroo, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOne/Tutorials/FileSharing#Share%20folders [06:10] i'm trying to play a certain type of mp3 file and having no luck. please help someone! where can i get the latest libraries? [06:10] solution!! [06:10] Out_Cold: hehe ... reading that :) [06:10] tried amarok, mplayer and audacious [06:10] nothing will play it [06:10] Out_Cold: seems like you can only share with one person at a time ... [06:10] poyntz, try vlc or install ubuntu-restricted-extras [06:10] keepsake: this is freaky. It wouldn't let me in on the first try but it did on the second.. [06:10] i'll try the latter, thanks Out_Cold [06:11] Out_Cold: I was hoping I could share it and get a link to give to others ... [06:12] Well at least now I can mount my drives.. [06:12] zetheroo, maybe the syncing is an issues? i'd root around some more to be sure [06:12] Out_Cold: well apparently ubuntu-restricted-extras is already at the latest version :/ [06:12] poyntz, try vlc? [06:12] vlc plays almost anything [06:12] My IBM Thinkpad T43 sound chip is AD1981B. What is the volume control 'Master M(ono)' for in contrast to 'Master'? [06:13] no luck Out_Cold === r4ban is now known as giskard [06:13] Anyone recently seen a netboot install fail because of a conflict between rarian-compat and scrollkeeper? [06:13] (Not sure if this is a local issue, but I'm pretty sure it isn't) [06:14] poyntz, look to see that you have gstreamer good/bad/ugly plugins installed [06:14] bullgard, just try unmuting all channels that are MM and see if that fixes it [06:15] poyntz: I missed the beginning of your question, what are you trying to play? [06:15] andrew_46: trying to play some mp3 files [06:15] andrew_46: i'm guessing it's some kind of weird format or something [06:15] andrew_46: because most mp3 files play [06:16] zetheroo, it looks like you can do multi users but you have to add one by one [06:16] poyntz: Are these files available nline somewhere? [06:16] poyntz, could be viral? [06:16] Out_Cold: correct ... oh well ... :) [06:16] Out_Cold: I have done so. It does not fix it. [06:17] bullgard, what about the sys tray icon?? looks like a speaker? [06:17] andrew_46: downloaded a torrent [06:18] Out_Cold: would they be the gstream0.10-plugins-ugly that i need? [06:18] poyntz, yes and bad/good [06:18] so the multiverse stuff [06:18] yup.. it's restricted format [06:18] k ty trying it now [06:19] wait [06:19] if its *-dbg [06:19] it means it's debug symbols tho ya? [06:19] you don't want the dbg [06:19] just regular [06:20] ya, i think i've got all the good bad and ugly then [06:20] only the dbg and the docs aren't installed [06:20] then maybe the file is corrupted [06:20] A big thank you to keepsake! [06:20] test another file or the same file on another machine [06:20] Dishtroyer: No problem =) I'm not even really sure what I did =P [06:21] Out_Cold: i'll give it a crack [06:21] keepsake, we rock like that lol [06:21] how we roll [06:21] Out_Cold: It's how Linux rolls, in general, haha [06:21] yea... uphill in big turds === r4ban is now known as giskard [06:22] Out_Cold: I have checked the systray icon looking as a speaker. Its setting is normal: It indicates: "Output 53%" which is normal. [06:25] bullgard, not too sure man... and you said what was muted? [06:26] i thought you said the tray icon was muted.. but what exactly is? [06:28] Out_Cold: nah no luck [06:28] Out_Cold: with any of them [06:29] im looking to get a new video card. ATI has the best cards, but hows the driver support now? I know it used to suck.. [06:30] Out_Cold: tried on a mac [06:30] GSF1200S: Nvidia rules all in linux. Much better driver, and incredible video acceleration. [06:31] well that just tells me that my usefulness has expired for the day :( [06:32] Tanthrix: Yeah, thats why I have a 9800GTX right now :) On the windows side, ATI seems to be the best. Oh well, **** them [06:32] Tanthrix: sorry, nVidia is now the worst under Linux [06:32] actually, I have 2 9800's, but I use seperate x screens, so I dont get sli benefit.. [06:32] don't buy from ati - enemy of your freedom [06:33] at least the ati driver is open [06:33] that is more than nVidia can say [06:33] meganard: how is nvidia the worst? [06:33] I dont think I agree, at least from the droves of opposing advice [06:34] I can't play DVDs. I got ubuntu-restricted-extras, I also have libdvdcss2...... i also did: sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh [06:34] Still cant play DVDs [06:34] I have been suffering under all of them for 10 years, the new ATI devices are covered by the radeonhd driver [06:34] nvidia has better options for linux where as ati doesn't... you can work on nvidia if you know how... can't say that for ati [06:34] new ati has worked well for me [06:35] personally I hate them both, but at least with their recent chips, they hired someone to write properly open drivers [06:35] Can somebody dcc a small text file so I can test my irssi setup? [06:36] andrew_46, alright [06:36] RocketLauncher: Thanks... whenever you are ready [06:36] andrew_46, i guess it's not working because i dont see anything on my side [06:36] DVD's playing, goodbye [06:36] any1 familar with packing for ppa's? im having a rejecting problem caused by the section im using in the control file. Ive tried using network and networking but both sections cause a rejection [06:37] i think that nvidia has better GPU processing for things like CUDa [06:37] *A [06:37] how can i share a directory using samba through ssh?? [06:37] Hmmm..... I was not clear as usual, can somebody send me a file by dcc? [06:37] why bother with samba if you are using ssh? [06:38] meganerd: how else can i see files as a windows drive?? [06:38] Anyone know where I can add module names that I want to load at boot? I have to modprobe coretemp after every boot [06:38] winscp [06:38] andrew_46, i sent one [06:38] on arch, id just add it it to rc.conf [06:38] meganerd: isn't that for copy on;y? [06:38] you could also use webdav + netdrive [06:38] i need something that will look like a network drive in windows [06:39] Out_Cold: oic [06:39] well, windows only supports smb or cifs for that out of the box [06:39] ok, thats why i bother with smb+ssh [06:39] you can use netdrive to add webdav and ftp support, but really, assigning a drive letter is asking for trouble [06:40] meganerd: why? [06:40] andrew_46, can you accept it? [06:40] windows does not support ssh out of the box, so you are going to have to add someting either way [06:40] why bother with ssh? [06:40] I am guessing that there is some sort of remote access? [06:40] yes [06:40] just use putty on win [06:40] Out_Cold: No, looks like my setup is still borken [06:41] andrew_46, i've never sent a dcc on xchat so not sure if it's my end maybe [06:41] Miracle: how can i map a drive to a folder through putty and have the traffic be encrypted? [06:41] for me personally I just ssh (sshfs under linux, winscp under that other OS) [06:41] for my clients a VPN is usally how I solve that issue [06:41] Hilikus, sounds like you want vpn but don't ask for my help [06:42] Out_Cold: No I have had trouble with irssi and dcc, but success with x-chat, so the problem is at my end [06:42] OpenVPN has a GUI for windows that mere mortals can use [06:42] this is for backup restore, they need to be able to see whats in the backup and just drag-drop from it [06:42] so it needs to be integrated to windows [06:42] meganerd, having a good vpn is a bit difficult imo [06:42] no shells or anything [06:42] anyone done a netboot install recently? [06:42] what version of windows? [06:42] xp [06:43] cygwin will get you the tools to do backup, but you may wish to rethink the drag and drop part [06:43] i already have all the backup set up [06:43] its the restore i am designing now [06:43] and the backup is offsite? [06:44] hilikus - i don't know but on linux you can tunnel with vlc and putty for remote access I'm not sure if you can mount a dir over a connection like that [06:44] yes, its all over the internet, thats why i need ssh [06:44] your easiest solution would be share the backups woth apache (you would ssl and webdav modules), and then install netdrive on the windows computer [06:45] meganerd: isnt webdav for writing? the backups are read-only [06:45] i'm gonna look into netdrive. never heard of it [06:45] hi, i have a problem that my keyboard randomly switches to qwerty, how can i troubleshoot this ? [06:46] actually yes, webdav s writing, so you would not need that part [06:46] speaking of which... can anyone tell me what's wrong with my iptables for nfs?? http://pastebin.com/m43759551 [06:46] oh.. minus the "speaking of which" [06:47] line history is a blessing [06:47] ugh [06:47] I can't find a good setup for this box. [06:48] I need a good desktop/theme/icon set/conky to function on a computer. [06:48] And this is my girlfriend's computer. [06:48] go pink [06:48] And i haet it [06:48] Does the theme really matter much.... [06:49] pick a differnt one and get on with it [06:49] :| [06:50] Dr_Willis, i find that eye candy is about 50% of the users and 50% simple [06:50] *for simplicity [06:50] ShazbotMcNasty: can't you just show her how she can do it yourself? [06:50] ^^ agreed make her learn linux lmao [06:50] ohir, I don't like the wallpapers she picks. [06:50] that is funny [06:50] it's her computer [06:50] She know how to do all of the desktop crud [06:50] I know [06:51] ShazbotMcNasty: girls are not less equipped than we, just a little bit linux-shy [06:51] but she also wanted a new wallpaper and theme [06:51] but she doesn't want to do it. [06:51] there is a link to get new themes from the appearence control [06:51] ShazbotMcNasty: so show her how she can search for herself [06:51] i've met a few good linux chicks [06:51] o/ [06:51] someone asked for a linuxchick? [06:51] I'm just going to go to gnome-look and search through themes and hopefully it'll come with a good wall that I can use. [06:52] ShazbotMcNasty: and this is her box, not yours. So you need to live vith that ponies on :> [06:52] hi all, looking for some kind of web-thingy that would show me which packages can be upgraded. needs to be run locally (as opposed to landscape) and supporting multiple systems would be a bonus. any ideas? [06:52] Hello Kity Themes Rule! [06:52] :p [06:52] hannah montanna themes? [06:52] yes, the web thingy could have hello kitty theme too, I could live with that. any idea? [06:52] ShazbotMcNasty: why dont you let her use the wallpaper she wants to use and well...if its her box, youve no say anyway? maybe you can ask the admin to allow you to have your own account on her system? [06:52] ohir, "she wanted a new background and theme, but she doesn't want to look" [06:53] ShazbotMcNasty: if it just pains you *so much* to have to see wallpapers that arent to your taste? [06:53] read what i write damnit >_< [06:53] ShazbotMcNasty: ah, ok. [06:53] ShazbotMcNasty: dont swear [06:53] * ohir *chuckles* [06:53] what is the command used to chage permissions so everyone can read the file? [06:54] and write [06:54] plain test 'do you know me enough' :) [06:54] MHz128: chmod 777 filename [06:54] great! thanks maco [06:55] asd.flknav vgkijjh [06:55] poop [06:56] MHz128: 777 is read write and execute [06:56] ShazbotMcNasty, just pick a random one.... or google some small fuzzy animal that she likes. then grab a matching icon/panel theme [06:57] Out_Cold, I'm okay. [06:57] meganerd: is there an opensource replacement for netdrive? [06:58] andrew_46, cool, its octal right? thats why its so confusing hehe [06:58] any iphone users here? [06:59] Hilikus: not that I am aware of... [07:00] Hilikus: another option might be to set up backuppc. There is a web front end for the regular users that will on the fly create zip files for them to download [07:01] MHz128: actually chmod 666 is all that you need, 777 makes it executable as well [07:01] MHz128: you could also do chmod a+rw filename [07:01] MHz128: A nice explanation is here: http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/filepermissions.html Have a looks at the section marked 'How to set file permissions - numeric mode' [07:01] hi :) is there any stable gui for aptitude in a "synaptic-like" manner ? [07:02] fabulous! [07:03] Applications > Sound and Video > Pulse Audio Volume Control > (Volume Control [window]) shows the »Internal Audio Analog Stereo« loudspeaker symbol as muted. How can I unmute it? [07:07] my backup HDD has a few bad sectors whats the fastest and easiest way to fix them? [07:07] Alphos, isn't that what synaptic is?? except for apt [07:07] Out_Cold: yea i was about tio say that also.. but dident want to bother. :) [07:08] Out_Cold : it's the "except for apt" i'm touchy about ^^' [07:08] Alphos, i use aptitude and apt interchangeably [07:08] same same.. [07:08] so yea bad sectors [07:08] how's that ? synaptic uses aptitude ? [07:08] hello [07:08] i thought it used apt-get [07:08] pain in the ass drive is reading crappily [07:09] Alphos, they both read the same files and .debs [07:09] Alphos: apt-get gets far more attention from Ubuntu core devs than does aptitude. [07:10] yes, but i've heard aptitude does keep track of installs (especially dependencies), which apt-get doesn't [07:10] aptitude install vlc and apt-get install vlc achieve the same result and both use dpkg afaik [07:10] I freshly installed a karmic koala system, which is working fine. Now I want to install skype, so I added medibuntu to my sources list and updated. However, apt-cache search skype doesn't find it. Is it not supposed to be there? [07:10] Alphos: that's patently false. [07:10] Out_Cold: I have made some changes, could you dcc that file again? [07:11] * Offering examples.desktop to andrew_46 [07:11] so if i decide to remove a package, synaptic will get me rid of its dependencies too ? [07:11] py_, yes. but you can always download from skype website. [07:11] (without me having to remember what dependencies i installed, i mean) [07:11] DCC GET Out_Cold examples.desktop [07:11] oops [07:11] Alphos, it tells you that you can uninstall them if they are useless [07:12] andrew_46, failed (err=No route to host). [07:12] hm [07:12] Alphos: once you remove the package apt-get will tell you "the following packages were installed but are no longer needed" [07:12] Out_Cold: Thanks anyway, I obviously have a little work to do yet [07:12] Alphos, ^^ fixed with apt-get autoremove [07:13] does synaptic take care of autoremove, then ? [07:13] How can I completely remove a mysql installation so I can reinstall it? (sorry if anyone is still here from earlier, I went afk) === aperson is now known as APERSON [07:13] Alphos, i don't think so [07:13] Or maybe troubleshooting for a solution. sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start returns [FAIL] [07:14] blah569: going to try the MariaDB RC? :) [07:14] petsounds, thx for the hint, but my question was more like "has something changed in medibuntu that it doesn't offer skype anymore?" [07:14] mneptok: haha, I might be interested in trying something new, however the current client is interested in using MySQL [07:15] blah569: PM? [07:15] hi, what are "pre-release updates"? [07:15] mneptok: sure, that would be cool [07:15] Can someone tell me a fancy login manager that ISN'T kdm or gdm, thanks. [07:15] how do i disable password access to a particular account in ssh so that only a key can be used? [07:15] not sure how to pm from the freenode webchat haha [07:16] stupid question: is there a way to enable drag and drop from a network share to winamp when its running under wine? [07:16] Darkedge, flux or xdm [07:17] Hilikus, it's in the sshd_config i think [07:17] I have both wired and wireless enabled on my laptop - both set to the same IP. I want ethernet to take over when i plug it in keeping hte same static IP my wireless was using. When i plug in ethernet everything just sits on 'looking up' for about 2 mins before it finally loads the page. ideas? [07:18] It loads perfectly fine when either wifi or ethernet are enabled on their own [07:18] Out_Cold: i can only find how to disable it for the while daemon though. not for a user [07:18] thanks for your help, Out_Cold :) [07:18] Out_Cold: well, based on what I see, xdm is quite lame http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/ec/Xdm_Screenshot.png and flux is a DE not a login manager [07:19] Darkedge, lame and linux aren't too far apart from each other :p [07:19] Can someone tell me where I can find the lattest gdm packaged for Ubuntu? [07:20] Hilikus, yea i guess i never tried for an individual user [07:20] Out_Cold: uhm no, look at the lattest kde :) [07:21] http://projects.gnome.org/gdm/ [07:21] might have to build from source [07:23] Anyone got networking working with ethernet and wifi having the same IP without needing to disable the other when plugging one in? [07:24] Flynsarmy, i think that you need to have 2 seperate IP addys. when i try that out in my head, i don't think 2 different devices can have the same IP on the same network [07:25] Out_Cold: i used to do it with earlier ubuntus...the wifi would just take over when it was plugged in [07:25] Out_Cold: errr...i meant ethernet would take over... [07:26] but before i think that you could only use one interface at a time [07:26] Out_Cold: yea that's pretty much what i want to do. i don't want to need to manually disable wifi every time i plug in my ethernet for the internet to work...i didn't hae to in earlier ubuntus [07:29] Flynsarmy, what IP does it assign when you plug in the lan? [07:29] Applications > Sound and Video > Pulse Audio Volume Control > (Volume Control [window]) shows the »Internal Audio Analog Stereo« loudspeaker symbol as muted. How can I unmute it? [07:30] !pulse [07:30] PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [07:30] Out_Cold: they both say 10.0.0.21 however the broadcast address on one is 10.0.0.255 with subnet 255.255.255.0 and on the other its broadcast 10.255.255.255 with subnet 255.0.0.0 [07:31] Flynsarmy, perhaps it's something in /etc/network/interfaces [07:32] maybe they need the same subnet? [07:32] Out_Cold: all it has in there is iface lo inet loopback. Yea i'll see if i can make them teh same [07:33] Out_Cold: that was my problem - wrong netmask. Thanks for the help :) [07:34] knew i was good for something [07:34] it helps to talk out your problems [07:34] i usually find my solutions while i am trying to pastebin all my info [07:35] except for today's nfs iptable rules [07:35] I don't use nfs anymore, so I could not help out there [07:36] i couldn't get smb to work... so went to nfs.... and now that i'm trying to clean up my iptables from a huge mess, i can't get them to work [07:37] my cronjobs don't run well unless i provide full path to every executable ... is it possible to inherit PATH variables in my cronjobs environment? [07:38] hello I'm getting the following error in log.nmbd [07:38] Unable to sync browse lists in this workgroup. [07:39] Unable to find the Domain Master Browser name [07:39] any ideas on what how to fix this? [07:40] Out_Cold: what was the problem with samba? [07:40] meganerd - this error in log.nmbd: Unable to find the Domain Master Browser name [07:40] can't remember... something to do with the connection i think.. [07:40] someone suggested nfs as an idea and i went with that.. [07:41] does anyone have a clue why my laptop screen turns off after 30 minutes, even though I have the screensaver turned off, and power management set to leave the screen on no matter what? [07:41] the nfs works.. i know that because i can remove all my iptable rules and it does work... but when i add the rules i lose connection [07:42] Out_Cold: nfs was always flakey for me. Samba has been a solid solution for me years (well 10+ now), even when doing nix to nix [07:43] hi, please i'm revoking a key, and the reason is that i don't use it anymore. That reason will be shown forever in the ubuntu keyserver, so please, could any native english speaker a formal short phrase? is "Not used anymore" ok? or maybe "Disabled" ? thanks :) [07:43] meganerd, what do you use to set your firewall?? [07:44] all I allow is TCP 455 [07:44] obiwan: unused? [07:44] erm 445 [07:44] Ok abumaia thanks :) [07:44] meganerd, how do you set that? [07:45] meganerd, what app you call to do so.. or you use hosts.allow/deny? [07:46] iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 445 -i eth0 -j ACCEPT [07:46] I don't bother with hosts allow or deny, too easy to spoof IPs, especially on someone else's LAN [07:47] or wifi [07:47] abumaia: Key Revoked (Reason: Discontinued) [07:47] Err, obiwan_ ^^ :) [07:47] kinja-sheep: thanks, but that's not for me ^_^ [07:48] yea.. i was trying to steer away from those.. which is why i am struggling with these stupid rules.. [07:48] is there anything other than the screensaver and power management that controls whether the screen is on or off due to idle time? [07:49] sometimes the BIOS does [07:49] Out_Cold: if you want to avoid some of the pain of building rules by hand, check out the fwbuilder app [07:49] meganerd: hmm, I hadn't thought of that, I'll have to check next time I reboot. thanks ^_^ [07:49] abumaia: np [07:50] might do it. ty [07:51] Out_Cold: if you are interested in this sort of thing, the book "Linux Firewalls" by Michael Rash (nostarch press) is really quite good [07:52] meganerd, i find that i don't have interests in these things till they kick me in the butt... [07:52] but i'll go take a look. ty [07:52] Out_Cold: well, we all have our neurosis, mine are audio and networking [07:54] anybody? [07:54] how can I check HDD for hardware errors? [07:55] reactor, fsck [07:55] reactor: SMART? [07:55] hmm [07:55] smartmon [07:55] I seem to have bad surface I mean [07:55] reactor: badblocks [07:55] roger [07:56] hi, how do you make services (ie ssh) start on bootup in ubuntu? like chkconfig in redhat... [07:56] reactor: boot from a rescue disk, then scan the drive with fsck -c [07:56] ok [07:56] brb [07:56] reactor: sudo badblocks -nvs /dev/sda (but replace 'sda' with the drive you want to check) [07:57] qweqweqwe: ubuntu uses 'upstart' for most services and sysv for a few others. So i depends on the exact service. see /etc/init to tell what ones are handled by upstart [07:57] thanks [07:58] Here's a question for anyone with virtualbox experience. I'm having trouble incorporating the kernel module I think. Take a look at this for all of the errors I'm seeing: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m2ebf69bc [07:59] Trying to install ubuntu on a laptop with 64mb of memory and i'm getting: kernel panic not syncing out of memory and no killable process [08:00] hi my panel will no longer show apps in use [08:01] sontek: using the alterntive installer cd I hope? I doubt if it will be very useable on 64mb of ram. [08:01] !lowram [08:01] Thers some low memory factoid/guide i recall [08:01] !lowmemory [08:01] For installing on low memory systems, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements. [08:01] sontek: use the alternate installer, and consider a lightwer weight UI like xfce [08:01] sontek, you need a minimum of 512 mb or ram to run ubuntu. (best is 1gig or more) [08:01] I got ubuntu going on 128mb of ram on my imac PPC - but its so sluggish its barely useable [08:02] meowbuntu: not true, I have one system with 128 MiB [08:02] 'to run well' :) 512mb+ [08:02] My Xubuntu runs nicely on 256MB [08:02] meganerd, before 6.1? [08:02] hi my panel will no longer show apps in use what can i do [08:02] misterB: what CPU do you have? [08:03] Out_Cold: ??? [08:04] meganerd, was the 128mb with a release before or after 6.10? i tried something similar and had to revert to 6.10 for it to work with 128 [08:04] guys, i got a question about the ubuntu code of coundct, if i sign it, and a month later change my mind, can i revoke it? or is whole life long? [08:04] meganerd: amd turionX2 64bit [08:04] any ideas for me please [08:04] please, answer, i'm about to become an official ubunter and that's my last question [08:04] obiwan_, you can always change it. [08:04] obiwan_, plan on defying us? [08:04] how petsounds ? [08:04] Out_Cold: 8.04 IIRC [08:04] meowbuntu: are you refering to the bottom panel to which you can minimize apps? [08:05] !ask | obiwan_ [08:05] obiwan_: 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. :-) [08:05] obiwan_, there's an instruction when you sign it [08:05] Out_Cold: defy? what do you mean Out_Cold ? please explain [08:05] Out_Cold: I *always* use the alternate installer, even on my laptop with 4GiB of ram [08:05] nevermind.. [08:05] obiwan_, is ubuntu your first linux os [08:06] Hi, can somebody tell me how to get rid of this? http://imagebin.ca/img/E5Ni8s.png [08:06] petsounds: i don't understand, i didn't get any instruction when downloaded the code, and in the launchad/codeofconduct doesn't say anything either [08:06] Applications > Sound and Video > Pulse Audio Volume Control > (Volume Control [window]) shows the »Internal Audio Analog Stereo« loudspeaker symbol as muted. How can I unmute it? [08:06] its some weird osd [08:06] yeah meowbuntu [08:06] ok obiwan_ can i pm you for a sec [08:06] sure ! [08:07] wolter, is that gnome-do? [08:07] misterB: do you have the kernel headers installed? also which virtualbox packages do you have installed? [08:07] petsounds, yes, but I mean what is in front of it [08:07] the ugly text [08:07] the irc one [08:08] wolter, what irc client? [08:08] meganerd: I forgot to install kernel headers when I reinstalled the system. Duh. I'm using the packages from virtualbox.org because I need USB support. [08:08] wolter, not sure about that but double check at gnome-do plugins and untick it. [08:09] hm.. its not a gnome-do plugin [08:09] its a system-wide osd [08:09] but I don't think it is notify-osd [08:09] could be an irc osd [08:09] misterB: I am using the 9.10 packages, I did not realize that USB did not work [08:09] meganerd: kernel headers were already installed [08:10] I am migrating from vmware workstation, and so far I like virtualbox the best [08:10] meganerd: the OSE version does not incorporate USB support [08:10] misterB: anyway, do you have the virtualbox modules loaded? [08:11] can somebody ping me please? [08:11] meganerd: How do I check [08:11] misterB: lsmod |grep vbox [08:11] wolter: Pong. [08:11] thanks kinja-sheep [08:12] CTCP PING reply from wolter: 1.012 seconds [08:12] wolter: you don't reply to ICMP PING though [08:12] hi my panel will no longer show apps in use what can i do [08:12] hist router is dropping ICMP [08:12] thanks both [08:13] meganerd: nothing came up, and I did notice an error somewhere that said file was missing from ... Let me find it. [08:13] kind of useless [08:13] meowbuntu: right click on panel -> add to panel -> window list? [08:13] SwedeMike, I just wanted someone to mention my name so xchat would notify me, so I could test the notifications [08:13] gnight all [08:13] SwedeMike: Can you CTCP ping metoo? [08:13] Weegee, but thanks anyway [08:14] meganerd: error was 'Module vboxdrv does not exist in /proc/modules' [08:15] maco, thanks that did it [08:15] meganerd: did you see my post in pastebin? [08:15] misterB: m2ebf69bc ? [08:15] yeah [08:16] hm.. one more ping for me please? [08:16] wolter: Oorah! [08:16] and again [08:16] misterB: try modprobing these three modules manually: vboxdrv vboxnetadp vboxnetflt [08:16] wolter: Booyah! [08:16] ah thanks [08:16] yeah, for those who saw my screenshot, it was gnome-osd [08:16] had uninstalled it but it kept running.. forgot to kill it [08:19] please, petsounds could you tell me where is the instruction so i can read it? i really want to make sure i can change my mind about the contract i sign, it isn't anything written about it on the contract itself [08:19] meganerd: I got the following errors: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m52bbf2c [08:19] misterB: you need root privs, try using sudo in front [08:20] meganerd: did that. see the error messages below the first [08:21] misterB: I see that you are missing the net modules, this means that you will be unable to bridge interfaces, but you should still be able to boot your VMs in NAT mode [08:21] what does dmesg say? [08:24] meganerd: see post below errors on http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m7bfc8e81 [08:25] misterB: how did you build these modules? [08:26] please guys, could anybody tell me if i can change my mind after signing the ubuntu code of conduct ? the code itself doesn't tell a word about it, so i'm unsure, and i don't want to sign a contract for whole life long, not even an friendly ubuntu one [08:26] meganerd: I installed http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian in my repositories and did an apt-get [08:26] obiwan_: Best to ask that in #ubuntu-offtopic [08:26] obiwan_: simply revoke your key, or submit a bug/feature request [08:27] meganerd: I'm going to try downloading the deb from their site and see if that works better. [08:27] misterB: in the /usr/src directory, do you have a virtualbox directory [08:27] thanks kinja-sheep [08:28] meganerd: but that ain't revoke my signature, just the key i signed it with [08:28] ok i'll ask at offtopic [08:28] meganerd: yes called 'vboxdrv-2.0.12' [08:29] misterB: do you have a package called virtualbox-dkms? [08:30] meganerd: not that I can tell [08:30] meganerd: searched in synaptic and found nothing. [08:30] network file shares (from folder properties) - i shared a folder on one computer on my network, what can i do to make it appear in other computers on the network inside of the "Network" browser aka network:/// ? [08:31] misterB: on my system the ose one is called: virtualbox-ose-dkms [08:31] Hi all [08:31] osirisx11: add an entry in /etc/samba/smb.conf [08:31] osirisx11: of course you need to install samba first [08:31] can ubuntu 9.10 run on a dell mini 9 [08:32] i cant extract .rar under linux [08:32] why [08:32] meowbuntu: is that an Atom based device? [08:32] I'm using Ubuntu9.10 as guest on VMware, I'm trying to bridge into it my edimax 802.11g wireless pci card, but Ubuntu recognize it as Ethernet, while I can successfully bridge my Edimax Wireless N USB card, do you might have any ideas for me? [08:32] !hcl | meowbuntu [08:32] meowbuntu: 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 [08:32] meganerd: don't see anything like that. [08:32] misterB: try searching from the command line "aptitude search virtualbox" [08:33] realLife: because rar is a patent encumbered format [08:33] meowbuntu: is there no GUI way to do this? why would ubuntu have a way to share files but no obvious way to access them on other computers? [08:33] i need to extract this file quickly :O how do I do it? [08:33] is there a netbook remix channel? [08:33] realLife: sudo aptitude install unrar [08:33] that makes 2% sence [08:34] realLife: I use 7zip for everything, I usually install: p7zip-full p7zip-rar [08:34] meganerd: there is nothing listed with dkms [08:34] is there a program that lets you create a program's flowchart? [08:34] !rar [08:34] rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [08:34] meganerd, kinja-sheep its actually for obiwan_ i was asking [08:35] ^ i'm in pm with him [08:35] thats enough ubunto for today bye :< [08:35] id like some more in-depth information as to how ubuntu netbook remix has been 'optimized' for the atom processor. anyone got anything? [08:36] meowbuntu, obiwan_ : I know Dell Mini 10 (terrible) and 10v (great) both works. However, 10v resembles similar hardware as 9 so I would think it is. [08:36] meganerd: is it possible that the virtualbox-dkms pakage doesn't exist for 64bit? [08:36] misterB: I am using 64bit [08:36] misterB: I just figured it out, I have the PPA for Virtualbox OSE [08:37] meganerd: keep in mind ose does not have usb support [08:37] osirisx11: we've discussed that. That's why I'm having trouble. I'm not using the OSE [08:38] meganerd: I'm going to try uninstalling, and reinstalling the package from virtualbox website to see if that fixes the problem first [08:38] misterB: user aptitude purge [08:38] misterB: use aptitude purge [08:39] misterB: ok cool [08:40] meganerd: just realized I was using an old version (2.0). That might be the problem. [08:41] misterB: ahh, I am downloading the latest as we speak... gotta love 15mbit connections [08:41] I am doing a presentation at our LUG in march on virtualization [08:41] I should probably test both versions, since it is a shootout :) [08:43] meganerd: here's the reason I'm not going OSE. My wife has an iPod Touch, and so far, the only thing that I can get it to work flawlessly with is iTunes, and you can't WINE iTunes. [08:43] what can i do to make ubuntu shared folders visible in other computers on the network inside of the "Network" browser aka network:/// ? [08:44] meganerd: hence I need usb support on the virtual machine for iPod management. [08:44] osirisx11: smb? [08:45] osirisx11: if you don't like smb, you can use ssh [08:46] either would be fine, but to an end user who is sharing files, editing an smb conf is not a good answer [08:46] if i have a share, it should be visible already on the other computers [08:46] osirisx11: the user 'shares' tghey can create use samba/smb or you could set up where the users homes get shared by samba by default. or you could set up NFS shares. [08:46] osirisx11: ubuntu does smb the friendly way with context menus and graphical interfaces. [08:47] osirisx11: douible check your workgroup. and try typing in the url manually in the file manager address bar. [08:47] my workgroup? [08:47] i have all ubuntu 9.10 on my network [08:47] Yes. You want to have all pcs in the same workgroup normally [08:48] where is my workgroup setting? [08:48] in teh samba configs [08:48] i haven't changed the smb config files [08:48] /etc/samba/smb.conf [08:48] you DID install samba on all the machines? [08:48] apt-fast over apt-get give it a try it rock the house... ;) [08:48] osirisx11: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba [08:48] thanks guys [08:48] you did give the users samba passwords with 'sudo smbpasswd -a USERNAME' on the machines... [08:49] why do i have to DO that though? [08:49] of course for linux to linux - NFS will be faster [08:49] i checked the checkbox under folder properties and hit create share [08:49] osirisx11: don't use smb for linux to linux :) [08:49] osirisx11: because thats how samba works. In theory it SHOULD of installed the samba service once you enabled those. [08:49] Theres MUCH MUCH MICH more to samba then 'just a way for users to share a specific folder' [08:49] i know you guys think i am being stubborn but i want you to think of it from an end user's perspective [08:49] Hello everyone [08:50] meganerd: updated version works like a charm [08:50] if i check "share this folder" and "create share" then in a user's mind it should show up in the other computer [08:50] The idea of the users even being able to make their own personal shares - is a relatively 'new' feature [08:50] !hello | Bakefy [08:50] Bakefy: 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! [08:50] lol [08:50] Ubuntu 9 onwards do not work on my P4-P4i45GV-1GB RAM pc [08:50] my users shares work fine here.. but i also have installed and configured the samba server how i wanted it. [08:51] Dr_Willis: how do you figure? had file shares since win95 or win nt right? [08:51] osirisx11: did you take a look at the help page I referred to? [08:51] osirisx11: i have every users home directory set up as a share. [08:51] Thanks for the welcome. I was wondering if anyone here has installed ubuntu on their ps3. (im not getting any responces on ubuntu-ps3 channel. [08:51] osirisx11: you are thinking of windows.. we are discussing linux . [08:51] lol bots nuts :) [08:51] !hi | all [08:51] all: 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! [08:51] i appreciate your guys' advice! i don't know anything about NFS. [08:51] osirisx11: if you were not using gnome - you woudlent even have the 'share this folder' feature not sure that KDE has it at all. [08:51] Bakefy: You should probably try to be more precise :) [08:52] !nfs | osirisx11 [08:52] osirisx11: nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [08:52] thanks [08:52] hi guys! i have a problem with multiple desktops running under ubuntu 9.10. i usually have my laptop at home with a monitor hooked up to its HDMI port, but today i took it with me to the university. now the problem is that when i boot up ubuntu, the laptop screen stays black, as if the second monitor (which isnt here) was the only one active. is there any combination of keys that i can git, so it switches back to normal? [08:52] would NFS it show up in the network browser? [08:52] osirisx11: with NFS you could set up where each machines /home gets shared to each other machine some hiow. and transfer files . no real need for a dozen individual shares. [08:52] *hit, sorry [08:52] MorphyNOR: I am not able to install ubuntu on my PS3. I go through all the steps and then it fails to boot into ubuntu [08:52] MorphyNOR: For 5 seconds i was mistaking that for NEED FOR SPEED :P [08:52] osirisx11: the network 'browser' is for samba shares. [08:53] You dont normally browse for nfs shares. [08:53] ben_germany: does your laptop have function keys? maybe those work? [08:53] c_nick: but it is, just that :P [08:53] no, tried that :( [08:53] ah [08:53] Dr_Willis: then why do i have to click Windows Network after i go to the network browser? [08:53] doesnt do it [08:53] osirisx11: network:/// here shows all my machines on my lan. [08:53] Bakefy: well, what exactly do you mean by fails to boot? [08:53] osirisx11: you may have had file shares since windows 3.x, but they did not automatically appear on every other computer, you had to add the shares manually from every client [08:53] ben_germany: it works fine at home? [08:54] but it could be because ive allready connected to the other machines befor. so it knows they are there [08:54] ben_germany: try fn+f4 [08:54] when the monitor is hooked up to it, yes. i watched a movie on it yesterday night, so i suppose it should still work :) [08:54] thanks guys! [08:54] the 'windows network' icon shows all the different workgroups here forme [08:54] MorphyNOR: it acts like I never installed it. I installed 9.10 (for ps3) and used petitboot. I should see a hard drive after installing... I dont get that. [08:54] off topic: anyone know how i can do batch autocrop and autoresize on a set of images? #gimp were not helpful [08:55] all the machines in the default workgroup show up in network:/// here [08:55] Dr_Willis: thanks! === i3d_ is now known as i3d [08:55] osirisx11: imagmagick tools can do that [08:55] !find image [08:55] Found: genisoimage, imagemagick, imagemagick-dbg, imagemagick-doc, kimagemapeditor (and 112 others) [08:55] if i can spell it right :) [08:55] !info imagemagick [08:55] imagemagick (source: imagemagick): image manipulation programs.

I'm going off of the live cd. how do i fix it [09:03] kinja-sheep: this has only been out about a month started on 12-15-2009 There is not going to be an update for apt-fast yet [09:03] meowbuntu: ive had no problems with the google chrome from the google repos. [09:03] meowbuntu: i just follow the 'google chrome linux' links i get in google. [09:04] EastDallas, Dr_Willis here is the ubuntu native installer for google chrome http://www.google.com/chrome [09:04] manual install is needed for apt-fast uses axel to speed up downloads on apt-get [09:04] meowbuntu: I had issues printing with Chrome, but not with Chromium [09:04] meowbuntu: one thing to watch out for is i recall there being 2 versions of google chrome - one dosent (or dident) have the extensions feature [09:05] Myrtti: what you mean this bot surfs more then one irc channel???? [09:05] meowbuntu: the link I gave you is for the daily builds of the unbranded FOSS version of chrome: chromium [09:05] EastDallas: i think ive also had printing issues.. but i never did look into it much [09:05] triple_xxx: it is present on many channels. [09:05] Dr_Willis: there [09:05] triple_xxx: ubottu is in multiple #ubuntu channels [09:06] EastDallas, in linux you have to use chromium not chrome itself for licence reasons [09:06] meowbuntu: *have* to? eh [09:06] Dr_Willis: There's a known issue...I'll find the bug number.... [09:06] meowbuntu: not true...google just released Chrome for linux a few weeks ago [09:06] meowbuntu: I use Chrome just fine, because I do not have license issues [09:06] http://www.google.com/chrome [09:06] meowbuntu: i just get the google-chrome.deb and inxtall it... [09:07] i think the .deb also adds a new repo to let it get updated [09:07] hm weird [09:07] Myrtti, its something to do with google licensing [09:07] I used to be able to remove the username and leave the just power button on the top right, howto on karmic? [09:07] dpkg-reconfigure xserver-org did not work [09:07] http://www.google.com/chrome/eula.html [09:07] Myrtti: I thought chrome was free????? [09:07] meowbuntu: why would they have a Linux version of Chrome if they had licence issues prohibiting it? [09:08] triple_xxx: as in price, yes it is [09:08] Myrtti, even if i install chromimuc it still calles it chrome ok [09:08] Dr_Willis: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=30471 [09:08] triple_xxx: chromium is free [09:08] how can i find out which vendor y ram has? [09:08] whats the best ubuntu help chan? [09:08] rethus: install hardinfo [09:09] rethus: you're not making sense, could you reword your question? [09:09] Myrtti, you can run chrome nowadays. they distribute 32 and 64-bit debs and rpms [09:09] geirha: I know that ,but the browser costs money????? [09:09] Myrtti, chrom is not opensorce chromium is opensorce thats all [09:09] triple_xxx: Free as in "free beer" but not free as in "free to do whatever you want" [09:09] meowbuntu: I have both Chrome and Chromium installed. They are separate apps. [09:09] hey.. I was installing some updates but the power went out. How can i check if there are any errors and redo them? right now update manager is showing me a list of apps that was not in the previous list. nothing from previous list is on this new one even though it did not finish the update. Also this new list will not install, corrupted package or something... [09:09] czr_: yes, surprisingly I do know that, since I've got them both installed. meowbuntu has more problems with this [09:09] ver 4.0.249.43 says it was made possible by the chromium project. so it is chrome [09:09] triple_xxx: No money, just got an extra licence that limits what you are allowed to do with it. [09:09] ah yes, my bad myrtti :-) [09:09] EastDallas, ok thats great i learnt something. what the differance [09:10] EastDallas, pm me so we dont clog the channel [09:10] meowbuntu: chrome is based on Chromium. [09:10] rethus: pull your computer apart and look at the brand name... is that what you want to know????? [09:10] when I log in grub menu indicates there are other versions installed, e.g. 8.04, etc. how can I delete those so just 8.10 remains? [09:10] Myrtti: i have two slots free (of my ram bank) and now have ddr 400 dualchannel-ram (2x512) and i want to upgrade it to dualchannel [09:10] east i know about that [09:11] i think to have dual channel ram, its needed to have the same vendors?! so i need to now exactly what vendor and type my ram now is [09:11] Okay. I'm trying to accomplish something but I can't get it to work with fstab. When you mount partitions, you get /media/$RANDOM. How can I specify to use $NAME? [09:11] rethus: you can try "sudo lshw" [09:11] meowbuntu: that's the difference [09:11] meowbuntu: http://arstechnica.com/open-source/news/2008/09/google-unveils-chrome-source-code-and-linux-port.ars has some info in the diffs [09:12] anyone know anything about raid5 and growing? [09:12] rethus: "sudo lshw -c memory" [09:12] EastDallas, i pm you [09:13] kinja-sheep: mhh, wokrks., but vendor and product is "none" [09:13] :( [09:13] rethus: Cheap generic brand, maybe? :\ [09:13] Hi all, i do not have gnome desktop when i login, how can i get it bak? [09:14] i am using xfce now, and need to get gnome back.. [09:14] rethus: i thinks there are programs on the bootable ubcd that give good details on sys components [09:14] gdm start [09:14] Hunt2: Log out. Change it in sessions. [09:14] Hunt2: at the bottom of the screen it should allow you to change session [09:15] everyone always overlooks the session menus in the GDM login screen [09:15] what is ops?? [09:15] Does anyone know how to grow a raid 5? [09:15] but did i need exactly the same ram x4 or can i use my 2x512 and buy 2x 1GB - with not to loose the dualchannel? [09:15] anyone having problems wit ubuntu and hulu this week....worked last week just fine but now it wont......tried firefox and chrome no luck [09:15] Dr_Willis: That's probably because it doesn't appear in Karmic until you select your name. [09:16] how can i connect to awindwos share that need atuturization from a windows server? [09:16] rethus: you need to do as Dr_Willis says learn some google fu... [09:16] ugliefrog: i normally just use the HULU player for linux.. but i find hulus videos/site always sluggish [09:17] rd1381 - use Samba [09:17] Dr_Willis, hulu player for linux?...its a program? [09:17] rd1381: curious what you mean by authorization from server, like another computer that does authorizations? [09:17] ugliefrog: Yes, it is a deb -- a Hulu program. [09:17] Dr_Willis: I will look for it [09:17] hi ninja [09:18] web1109: its a university network that has a com lab [09:18] ugliefrog: yes. it works ok.. but could work better [09:18] ouyes: what do you mean? [09:18] web1109: and if u log in there u get a z drive in windows that is urs( with ur account number) [09:18] How can I remove other versions of ubuntu from my hard drive and just keep the one I use, e.g. 8.10 [09:18] !u | rd1381 [09:18] rd1381: U is the 21st letter of the modern latin alphabet.

But i am proud, i am ubunter!!! [09:20] Miracle, watch it or ops will kick you [09:20] !lol | Miracle [09:20] Miracle: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. [09:20] web1109:what u mean by that [09:20] ouyes: You will not become one. Don't ask. :) [09:21] lmfao [09:21] see yaaaaa and May the Force be with you all !

[10:28] what's more fascinating than the spambot is the floodbot >:D [10:28] it always wins [10:28] * Tanthrix wishes that just once automated FloodBot1 would talk back to him [10:28] hi is there a separate channel for ubuntu-netbook-remix? [10:28] NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. [10:28] There are.. how many floodbots? [10:28] There...are...four..floodbots! [10:29] Saturn2888: u can set the uuid [10:29] Anyway, I'm getting an obscure failure on netinstalling ubuntu-netbook-remix + ubuntu-desktop [10:29] Saturn2888: I think it only changes if the partition changes size or some other detail, if it stays the same, as far as I'm aware, the uuid will stay the same [10:29] DJones: good good. [10:29] which soundcard have u got? jujixz [10:29] seeing as there are 3 8 shifts in a day.. there would be main bots, and a fourth incase one calls in sick.. :-) [10:29] Hey guys [10:30] Anyone know a good C++ compiler/IDE? [10:30] NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. [10:30] Other than codelite or codeblocks [10:30] Riverthief, codeblocks imho [10:30] g++ [10:30] Riverthief, as for compiler, gcc [10:30] Ok I'll give that a go [10:30] tyvm :) [10:30] Riverthief: for an IDE kdevelop, eclipse, vim, there are more so try them [10:32] Jordan_U: Dude, mdadm. I needed to install it. With your most-amazing chroot guide, I am saved! [10:35] Jordan_U: you are a life-saver! [10:37] Saturn2888: np [10:38] could you help me with the repo- problem ? [10:38] just ask [10:38] can someone tell me how to mount my .iso since I dont have a cdrom? I tried:sudo mount -o loop /tzarcasm/desktop/ubuntu_netbook.iso /media/cdrom0 [10:38] Jordan_U: if you can, please tell the other dude i got it fixed too [10:38] I'm headin' out Jordan_U. See ya [10:39] jami: i have 6 ubuntu 9.04 repo DVDs, would like to install software from it [10:39] Saturn2888: You can tell him yourself, ( his nick is fezie ) [10:39] Salmon: Hunt3 is now registered to email@email.com, with the password password. [10:39] .... [10:40] jami: could you help ? [10:40] your sort of not meant to tell people that [10:40] ershad: and ... the apt list contains the cd or dvd as repository afaik [10:40] jami: yes [10:41] ershad: so u can install stuff from it [10:41] jami: on updating, apt-get tries to go online [10:41] how would i add an application not installed via apt into the netbook-launcher in ubuntu-netbook-remix? [10:41] jami: and updates from net [10:41] ershad: you don't want that? [10:42] I have tried installing an HP Color LaserJet 3600 printer, but when I try to print, nothing happens. [10:42] johntramp: Create a launcher, I would guess. [10:42] ershad: then update the apt list and deactivate all remote repos [10:42] Salmon: i still get the error [10:42] jami: i would like to install s/w from DVD using 'apt-get install' [10:42] #freenode Please register with services and use the IDENTIFY command (/msg nickserv help) to speak in this channel [10:42] kinja-sheep: how would i do that? [10:42] Hunt3, are you identified? [10:42] jam:yes, i have unticked all http-repos [10:42] no..how do i use IDENTIFY? [10:43] Hunt3: see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup [10:43] /msg NickServ identify yourpassword [10:43] still it goes online and fetch files for each installation [10:43] johntramp: I don't use UNR so it may be different than regular Gnome desktop. Look for Menu Editor in Preferences/System (if it is there). [10:43] ershad: and aptitude update [10:43] ok, thanks kinja-sheep [10:43] if i'll download the ubuntu livecd which one can i get from the package? kde or gnome? [10:43] /msg NickServ identify Salmon lolnub67 [10:43] jami: yep, it too goes online while updating [10:43] xD [10:43] lol [10:44] Glined from Malvager lol [10:44] kinja-sheep: ah, got it. im too used to doing everything from commandline... i should have been able to find that. thanks [10:44] I bet you he use lolnub67 for every websites he use. [10:44] hi ev'ryone i'd like to get my middle click to work. how do i do that? [10:44] ershad: maybe a apt-get clean before [10:44] whyyyy do I ever try joining this channel. [10:44] jami: ok, i will try that [10:44] how come when i type 'ln -s foo.pl dir/foo.pl' and ls -l dir/foo.pl it shows a loop link like: foo.pl->foo.pl [10:44] bsulzer: it should be assignable to an event as button 3 [10:45] if i'll download the ubuntu livecd which one can i get from the package? kde or gnome? [10:45] because ln -s takes the exact text of the first argument as the link, it doesn't do clever things with relative positioning [10:45] you probably want to say ln -s ../foo.pl dir/foo.pl [10:45] pat|nG: ubuntu is gnome, kubuntu is kde [10:45] the path is relative from the position you're creating the link, not the current directory of the ln command [10:45] creamycentre, sry i don't get you. where do i catch this event? [10:45] Salmon: niko: Please check your email for instructions to complete your registration. which email do i need to check? [10:45] geofft: ah that makes sense. thanks [10:45] infid: but can i change it to kde? is it possible? [10:46] jami: http://pastebin.com/d71130636 [10:46] pat|nG: yeah [10:46] pat|nG: just install kde and you can switch to using it [10:46] infid: basically a symlink is just stored on disk as a normal file with the link contents as the file [10:46] infid: thanx [10:46] infid: it just happens to have the 'link' bit set [10:46] i see [10:47] jami: any idea ? [10:47] hey how do i install a package from unstable ... im searching with apt .. and after i have added the unstable repository ... i see this ... apt-cache madison netatalk [10:47] netatalk | 2.0.5-2 | ftp://ftp.us.debian.org unstable/main Packages [10:47] netatalk | 2.0.3-11+lenny1 | http://ftp.us.debian.org lenny/main Packages [10:48] how do i refer to the 2.0.5 version when doing apt-get install [10:48] gibblet: #debian [10:48] dude they are invite only ! [10:48] Hunt3, you were supposed to replace email@email.com with your email [10:48] gibblet: google for apt pinning [10:48] and kinja dont be a tool your whole life [10:48] well yeah i added some shizz about pinning [10:48] ershad: but where did the program get the remote infos. Do you really edit the complete /etc/apt/sources.list [10:49] ershad: but where did the program get the remote infos. Do you really edit the complete /etc/apt/sources.list [10:49] but i think you might be onto something [10:49] how can one change the network-manager configuration from the shell? [10:49] how was the command to look if my system use swap? [10:50] jami: I think that explains it :) Lemme remove *all* http links [10:50] rethus: free -m [10:50] wich distro is the best for newbees.. now running koala? [10:51] wild_oscar: so i have this: Swap: 2541 15 2526 [10:51] this means, if my system use sap i have to few ram? [10:51] hubbix: this is #ubuntu and you'll be most likely recommended Ubuntu. [10:51] * DaZ recommends windows [10:51] rethus: "total, used, free" [10:51] Hubbix: Karmic(Ubuntu 9.10), or Mint 8 [10:51] hubbix: There's no real answer to that, it depends what you find the most convinient and intuitive for yourself [10:51] it means it will use up to 2541 of swap, yes [10:51] are the most user firendly imho [10:52] rethus: 2,5 gigabyte of swap is a bit of overkill [10:52] wild_oscar: is it better if a system have so much ram that he never swap? [10:52] hubbix: honestly my answer to that is the distro the most people you know use. [10:52] rethus: check the info on swappiness [10:52] do mint come with preintalled pluggins [10:52] DaZ. someone told me nearly 1% of diskspace [10:52] hubbix: yes, but it also may have a bit less support than ubuntu [10:52] rethus: no. on a desktop linux swap usage will affect performance [10:53] hubbix: Mint will be fine for out-of-the-box use. Their IRC is very helpful aswell [10:53] as is the forums [10:53] rethus: if you have lots of ram (4GB), 2GB of swap is too much [10:53] wild_oscar: i hav 1GB [10:53] I heard there's motherboard-level ECC-type functionality in modern hardware [10:53] all i coult say about ubuntu is it looks the best but i getting some problems with sound when i play dvd [10:54] Can anyone verify this? [10:54] rethus, I have 3gb RAM, and only 800something mb of swap, and I never reach the limit. [10:54] rethus: when the system will use swap is also controlled by swappiness, check that [10:54] hubbix, try vlc [10:54] rethus, I recommend around 1.5gb of swap [10:54] 1gb...seems "not a lot", but it all boils down to how you use the system [10:54] its your best bet for playing dvd's [10:54] why so muchof swap when you have got RAM! [10:55] hmm, playing the DVD thing sounds good. [10:55] but still, [10:55] chinmoy: hibernation... [10:55] chinmoy, because the swap will at least take some of the pressure off the small amount of ram, and performance won't decrease that much imho [10:55] elsewhere, do you really need so much of swap? [10:55] jami: please see this : http://pastebin.com/m7e33223f [10:56] wild_oscar: what is swapiness? I don't have such a command on shell [10:56] yea i shall do linux is great btw.. i installed xbmc on top of ubuntu no soundproblems whatsoever [10:56] chinmoy, yes, if you wanna use hibernation [10:56] hmm, but dont gigs come loaded with good amounts of ram nowadays? [10:56] rethus: google [10:56] chinmoy, WOW...JUST WOW... [10:56] oops caps [10:56] jami: Thanks a lot, its working :) [10:56] ya, hibernation is another. [10:56] rethus: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq [10:57] great for streeming from my machintosh/readynas perfect [10:57] !!!:) [10:57] ershad: otherwise use apt-cdrom [10:57] jami: yeah :) [10:57] apt [10:57] hmm, @Riverthief, I do not use hibernation. [10:57] :) [10:57] It spoils the hdd. [10:58] continuous slow write cycles.. [10:58] i wonder if i should trow out windows drive and install ubu on harddisk is it better than usb stick [10:59] sure! [10:59] why not use it full time? I do.. [10:59] anyway, chinmoy, right now I am watching a movie, have firefox open with 13 tabs, and have a VM going(with 256mb dedi ram). I am using 600mb of my RAM and nothing of swap. It's still good to have some swap, especially with only 1gb of RAM. [10:59] hubbix: do it [10:59] hi [10:59] how do i add non free to my sources? [11:00] hmm, definitely, agreed on that, Riverthief. [11:00] you mean the restricted packages? [11:00] neurre: add them to the source.list [11:00] yeah [11:00] sec [11:00] jami: i got one realy old 13gb an 1 no so old 80gb what to do [11:00] well i have deb http://fi.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic main restricted [11:00] hubbix, it will most likely increase your performance however you might want to consider dualbooting if there are any must have applications that do not run under ubuntu [11:00] neurre: Take a look in Software Sources (under System --> Admin). [11:00] neurre: ubuntu doesn't have "non-free" in the same sense as debian does. Some of that stuff may be on medibuntu [11:00] neurre: what are you actually trying to achieve? [11:00] this is interesting. wait lemme register. [11:01] Myrtti, http://source.android.com/download [11:01] neurre, sudo aptitude -y install ubuntu-restricted-extras [11:01] should do [11:01] hubbix: put ubuntu on the 13gb and your home to the 80gb [11:01] E: Couldn't find package sun-java5-jdk [11:01] :) [11:01] that fails [11:01] ok [11:01] sudo aptitude update [11:01] first [11:01] jami: neurre: add them to the source.list [11:01] jami: tnx il do it [11:02] jami, add what to source.list?

[11:17] meganerd: but i need hardware accelleratio [11:17] yes, it is supported by fglrx but the radeonhd driver is better and supports all of the new "HD" chips [11:18] zetheroo: which context [11:18] it *is* a 3d driver [11:18] jami: what do you mean? ... [11:18] dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg keeps crashing , no output whatsoever [11:19] sefram: I don't think it's suppose to show output? [11:19] jami: I cannot get it to record sound [11:19] zetheroo, i use gtk-recordmydesktop , but is there any problem? [11:19] Dear #Ubuntu: What, in your opinion, is the absolute BEST guide to learn about Linux? I already know most of the basic commands, but I want to learn more about how Linux works and how to manipulate it. [11:19] Oh, and preferrably online...and free. [11:19] zetheroo, does your mic seem to work in the sound preferences? [11:20] Should I install the 32bit or 64bit version of Ubuntu on my 54bit desktop? [11:20] i installed an ethernet driver after that my network icon is missing from the panel............how to bring it back? i'm not able to connect to the wireless network [11:20] RobLikesBrunch, learn bash to start with [11:20] Salmon: oh my Mic works perfectly [11:20] jpds: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/474455 [11:20] zetheroo: sry i mixed up the program name 8) I use istanbul for that task [11:20] Salmon: I have been trying to get a screencast application to work in Ubuntu for the last 3 days [11:20] Riverthief: Can you recommend a guide :D? [11:20] zetheroo: tried gtk-recordmydesktop? [11:20] how can i reset hardware driver detection? [11:20] zetheroo, does it work in in other applications? [11:20] RobLikesBrunch, http://ss64.com/bash/ [11:20] zetheroo: thats what I use for screencasts.ubuntu.com [11:21] sefram: Yeah, try without the -phigh for configuration screens. [11:21] zetheroo: i used to use xvidcap but it's a bit broken [11:21] Riverthief: Great, thanks! [11:21] popey: yeah ... video and audio are out of sync [11:21] jpds: its all the same [11:21] RobLikesBrunch, No problem :P [11:21] zetheroo: i use recordmydesktop from the command line and it's not out of sync [11:21] Salmon: mic work with everything else [11:21] RobLikesBrunch: discover your system. Read man pages. Start scripting bash/perl [11:21] popey: say on ... [11:22] zetheroo: http://popey.com/blog/2009/08/25/getting-back-into-screencasting/ :) [11:22] RobLikesBrunch, also, get to know the linux file structure [11:22] do I really need to reinstall because my Hardware Driver utility is unable to detect my board? [11:22] jami: Is Perl the dominant language in Linux? What about Python & Ruby? [11:23] zetheroo, you might want to try gtk-recordmydesktop like others have suggested [11:23] popey: was the audio and video out of sync when you were recording through the GUI? [11:23] Salmon; as I said I already have been trying it [11:23] RobLikesBrunch, Perl would be the way to go imho. To know regular expressions is a powerful thing [11:23] zetheroo: yes [11:23] Salmon: video and audio are out of sync ... so useless ... unless popey has the key ... [11:23] Plus, Pychon is quite easy, you can learn it in a few weeks [11:23] *Python [11:24] popey: ok I'll give it a shot ... [11:24] Riverthief: Wait...Perl or Python? [11:24] RobLikesBrunch, Perl imho [11:24] popey: but you are also not using an internal mic [11:24] Riverthief: But "python is quite easy"? I'm confused :P [11:24] zetheroo: doesnt matter [11:25] I installed fglrx with the hardware dirver tool but ended up with no login srceen and currupted cursor, then i compiled the most recent version, installed it but that didnt change anything. After disabling Desktop Effects it wont even give me any X screen so i purged all fglrx and now they cant be reinstalled throught the hardware driver tool... I really LOVE AMD !! [11:25] zetheroo, as a work around you could manually sinc the audio in whatever video editor you use [11:25] RobLikesBrunch, yes, Python can be learned in a few weeks, but the earlier nyou start with Perl the better. Plus Perl has so many more uses [11:25] Salmon: its not as easy as that [11:25] *you [11:25] ya. === hans is now known as Guest73073 [11:25] Salmon: the audio drifts [11:25] Salmon: yeah ... not happy to go down that route [11:25] Riverthief: Ah, okay.

[11:33] erSUL: Will that work for 3G connection sharing over WLAN too? [11:33] Lungan_: That's probably energy saving options [11:33] sefram: fglrx can be installed from a recovery terminal, without having any X or graphical environment started. [11:34] Jonathan_L, Yeah but I don't know how to turn that off [11:34] kaolbrec: thaks [11:34] Lungan_: Change the setting in Power Option.

But to enable them i need it working without desktop effects and that seems to simply is impossible since i only get a blank frozen X srceen... [11:36] Any difference between grub and grub2??? [11:36] Yes [11:36] Grub2 < Grub [11:36] perlmonkey in a terminal type gksu nvidia-settings [11:37] those guides for ICS are extremely unhelpful for this situation.

[11:37] perlmonkey reset ya settings...now they stick [11:37] Grub2 has, imho, worse boot times, no grub.cfg, less support for other"windows" OS's, and you should just install EFI :P [11:37] ok [11:38] Riverthief|afk: Grub2 < grub means???

But i cant get there without the hardware drivers tool because it enables the ?requires? desktop effects together with installing fglrx... [11:43] Jonathan_L: I'm remembering this off my head but I was able to get my 360 working through laptop wireless. [11:43] Jonathan_L: all you have to know is the IP-range of your local network and the interface name of your external interface (connected to WAN) [11:43] krishn1: then the nfs startup fails [11:43] perlmonkey youve done it before.... just do that after starting in terminal with gksu [11:43] hi [11:43] iflema: twinview is working, but it's acting differently to when I set it up manually... its treating both monitors as separate screens instead of one long screen [11:43] If I want to sell a product with Ubuntu installed, is that legal? [11:44] krishn1: get in as root and try to mount the nfs [11:44] basically the monitors are not joined/sync'd [11:44] perlmonkey cloned of seperate [11:44] :-/ [11:44] Hi [11:44] perlmonkey cloned or seperate [11:44] znh: if you provide the right info; yes why not. also consult the trademark and artwork policy of ubuntu logos names etc [11:44] znh: hmm this is not the best channel to ask that... although i'm never sure where to direct for legal questions. you could try asking #ubuntu-offtopic (but take answers with a grain of salt), and also ask #ubuntu-irc if they know of the most appropriate channel [11:45] separate, I have entirely different desktop background images on each, and when I drag an app from one screen to the next, it's not perfectly in sync, theres a resolution difference [11:45] popey: audio and video are still way out of sync for me [11:45] when I set up nividia settings manually the two screens are perfectly in sync, one desktop background, one resolution [11:45] Salmon: what is supposed to happen when i run /msg NICKSERV REGISTER password email@email.com ? i mean with correct password and email addresses? [11:45] perlmonkey not seperate then if ya draging windows from one to other... [11:45] iflema ya, as i said its working in twinview but not the same as when I do it manually [11:46] Hunt3, it will register your nick [11:46] Hunt3: Don't make a big deal out of it. Register. Check your email. Confirm the link. You're done. [11:46] perhaps im not making it very clear [11:46] to identify you can then type /msg nickserv identify password [11:46] Hunt3: Then you will want to set up identify in your IRC client. [11:47] perlmonkey sounds to me like a twinview type of rig.... not seperate [11:47] manual configuration = twinview mode with 1 resolution and both screens treated as one desktop space [11:47] kinja-sheep: i gave my email address, dint receive any link? [11:47] jami: I have logged in as root and tried /etc/init.d/autofs restart [11:47] saved configuration / auto = twinview mode with 2 resolutions, and both screens treated as separate desktop spaces [11:47] ce_moetz [11:48] jami: is there any thing else I have to do [11:48] Hunt3, well u did it wrong maybe [11:48] iflema: so why isn't my desktop background image appearing on both screens? and why aren't apps perfectly in sync for the resolution [11:48] !irc | Hunt3 [11:48] Hunt3: A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [11:48] krishn1: why autofs [11:49] Hunt3: did you check junk mail box?

[11:49] perlmonkey im thinking A. you are unable to configure the software or B. youve been messing with other methods of twinview/mods or C. typo [11:49] Thankyou kinja-sheep [11:50] sefram: hmm, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=439895 describes how to switch them off from starting in recovery mode, maybe that'll give hints on how to switch it on.

[11:51] it's weird [11:51] im gonna try something...brb [11:52] perlmonkey its pretty solid i thought.... up in twinview now. just the one issue.... no seperate desktop background images :( [11:53] web1109: ya i checked it's not here in spam mails too [11:53] perlmonkey apart from pasting two images together.... pez [11:54] Hunt3: Official Freenode Support @ #freenode [11:55] iflema: i've just compared my desktop settings to when I use twinview in auto-started config and manual config... and there's a clear difference: on auto-started it has two monitor settings tabs (monitor 1 and monitor 2) allowing independent desktop background images, however on manual config if I click on desktop there's only 1 monitor settings area, i.e. its treating both screens as one desktop [11:55] kinja-sheep: #freenode-fr, is it the same? [11:55] perlmonkey, your nvidia settings arent restored on login by default [11:56] Hunt3: I would think it is... In french languages. [11:56] I'm unable to get X to auto-start with the manual approach (treating both screens as one screen) tried everything.. so I'm assuming there is not a feature but rather a quirk of using nvidia manually [11:56] you ether have to add nvidia-setting -l to your startup applications or run it yourself [11:57] Salmon: I've saved the settings, actually copied and pasted them into xorg.conf [11:57] anyone here have any luck with screencasting in Ubuntu ? [11:57] your using twin view right? [11:57] yes [11:57] that isnt stored in the xorg settings [11:57] perlmonkey manually??? xorg.conf editing is manually. i just wanna know.... what happens when you in a terminal type gksu nviddia-settings.. ok do you see two little screens? [11:57] ah [11:57] you have to load your nvidia settings with nvidia-settings -l [11:58] when I say "manually" i mean starting X in non-twinview mode, starting nvidia-settings utility and configuring to twinview WITHOUT saving config/restarting X [11:58] anyone know how to see whats on your virtual c: drive without going through wine? [11:58] that works perfectly [11:59] GG19: look in the config winecfg [11:59] if I save the config, Twinview works when I restart X, but both screens are treated as SEPARATE screens [11:59] GG19: it's all in ~/.wine/drive_c/ [11:59] GG19: ~/.wine/drive_c is standard mount for wine's c: [12:00] Salmon thanks I will try that [12:00] web1109: when i run /msg NICKSERV REGISTER password email@email.com , it says my Hunt3 is already registered [12:00] yeah but I cant right click and delete or move to trash anything. [12:00] Salmon where should that command go? [12:00] perlmonkey, just try running it from the terminal after you have logged in [12:00] like wine, programs, dvdfab, "file i want to delete" [12:01] ok good idea [12:01] Im trying to share my internet connection to my wi-fi card. I have tried to klick on the network icon in panel and then 'create new wireless connection" but my other devices can't find this connection. Is there some mimitation on a laptop wireless card/settings? [12:01] if it works then add it to your startup applications under system -> preferences -> autostart [12:01] GG19: ls -l and get sure that you are the owner of this dir [12:01] * perlmonkey tries [12:02] so if C: is simulated the real files must be on my main drive? but where?

This has gotten pretty long and complicated: After installing Ubuntu 9.10 fine, it didn't boot the next day. Nothing I've done has made it work. I even reformatted the HDD and it still doesn't work. I tried the alternative liveCD, and that doesn't work. I checked the RAM - it's fine. I reinstalled windows, and that works fine. Does anyone have any idea of what I could do to at least find out what the problem is? [12:12] adversarian: does the bootloader show up [12:13] adversarian: Care to explain what happen when you said you tried alternative liveCD? I would guess it can't see the monitor for some reason. [12:13] wait so I deleted the file from my virtual C: drive yet it still remains in my wine , programs, and in the folder [12:13] jami: Well, Ubuntu is no longer installed, but when it was it got to GRUB fine. It would freeze if I picked recovery mode or normal ubuntu, after making minor progress. Recovery mode stopped once it hit "stop skipping firewall: ufw (not enabled)". The LIveCD loads fine, but it freezes if I choose to try ubuntu or install it. [12:13] jussi01, you missunderstood. The problem isn't to share Internet. The problem is to make my devices see my laptops wireless connection... they don't [12:13] can i ask for help about curl? [12:14] jami: Recovery mode from the CD stops after some crypto check, I can't remember the exact text [12:14] adversarian: What hardware? [12:14] kinja-sheep: Well, it starts off fine (when I hit install). I get to the menu and everything works, and then once it hits the second pc hardware check it stops working - it just freezes on a blue screen with a black bar at the bottom [12:15] kinja-sheep: Sorry I don't know what you're referring to [12:15] adversarian: What make/model?

[14:13] ah, if I understand correctly - sound card is Creative Labs SB Audigy, using OSS for sound output [14:14] rayve: so you decided against pulseaudio? [14:14] I didn't have any luck with pulseaudio either, so I decided to try OSS, though not finding much luck there either [14:15] rayve ubuntu 32 or 64 bit ? [14:15] OerHeks: running 9.04 AMD 32 bit (but I recently looked again and think I might actually have an AMD64, so that would mean I would be 64 bit, yes?) [14:16] rayve: have you tried 9.10? That would be were fixes for sound would go... [14:16] How can i turn my laptop into a access point so other comp. can use my 3G Internet connection? [14:17] ChogyDan: haven't yet, it's on my to-do list this weekend. I've only over updated the kernel version slightly, i.e. 2.15 to 2.17 and such - is it any different doing a full upgrade to 9.10? [14:17] rayve no, you run 32 bit OS @ amd 64, that's oke . did you install adobe flash plugin or do you use the standard plugin ? [14:18] OerHeks: I have the flashplugin-installer [14:18] rayve: here is a command I use as a sanity check: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras sun-java6-plugin && sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun && sudo apt-get remove mozilla-plugin-gnash swfdec-mozilla [14:19] good check ChogyDan [14:19] I just faced a problem, while browsing [14:19] the firefox window just faded to black [14:20] ChogyDan: those look familiar :) running that now, installing 6 packages it says [14:20] and I was not able to select anything [14:20] hello [14:20] happy martin luther king day [14:20] remember, [14:20] I'm having some issues with blender and some other graphic programs. they all appear to be using OpenGL but when i did a check on it a and gave it to someone who asked for it he said it all checked out. all the programs just shut right after launching. if run from the terminal i get a Sementation fault. help? [14:20] without MLK's sacrifices, african americans like me would have today been barred from the internet [14:21] ok what i did [14:21] navin: did it fade all the way to black, or just grey? I think windows fade to grey when the system thinks they aren't responding (that's my guess at any rate) [14:21] i cannot compile the graphics driver [14:21] CAPcap maye turn-off visual effects solves your problem [14:22] alteregoa: i can help you, but i am black just so you know [14:22] alteregoa: to comoile the driver you need « sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential » [14:22] How can i turn my laptop into a access point so other comp. can use my 3G Internet connection? [14:22] i downloaded the x86_64 files of http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.33-rc4/, and tried to compile it with the NVIDIA-190.xxxy.run driver, but i got a error about the kernel sources [14:22] erUSUL: WRONG. [14:22] alteregoa, why don't use apt or aptitude , add/ remove ? [14:22] rayve: it faded to grey, but I was able to toggle to other windows [14:22] it was off oerheks so i thought that might be the problem. i turned them on, hasnt made a bit of difference [14:22] m3onhox84* because this stuff is no in the repository [14:23] how do you set the initial path for gnome-terminal?

If you're using your Desktop, you could "cd ; sudo ln -s /var/www/ Public" and just drag the files that you want to serve in ~/Public. [14:27] rayve: o well. I think trying the later release is your best bet [14:27] ChogyDan: no worries, I'll give that a shot this week. thanks for the help everyone [14:27] kinja-sheep, i dragged a file already into /var/www but it doesnt appear on the webserver , only the "It works!" site appears [14:28] hl_99: What file? [14:28] CAPcap, you might want to re-install opengl? Segfault seems like you've got some corrupted libraries, in my uneducated guess... [14:28] kinja-sheep, bla.php [14:28] hl_99, try 192.168.1.1/filename ? [14:28] hl_99: Then you want to try "http://localhost/bla.php" [14:29] hl_99, sorry 127.0.0.1/filename [14:29] hei i need a script or somethg to get the audio from you tube [14:29] what was the package [14:29] s/need/want [14:29] rek mp3ify.com [14:30] can i have a deb ? [14:30] I installed GNOME on my Ubuntu machine instead of installing Ubuntu Desktop. I did this because I didn't want all of the extra stuff that Ubuntu Desktop ships with. However I don't know what I'll need to get the startup sound on my system. Currently I have no sound relate things on my system. And I'm hoping to stay completely free using no propriotory things. Could someone help me out here? [14:30] !info youtube-dl | rek, this gets the video and audio [14:30] rek,: youtube-dl (source: youtube-dl): download videos from youtube.com.

[14:30] kinja-sheep, that is working thank you [14:30] previous installs of ubuntu i had mirrored screens at 1200x800 [14:30] ChogyDan: what is that? [14:30] swiftarrow, Thanks for the tip... I will look into that.. :-) [14:31] kinja-sheep, but i wolud like a directory of all the files in /var/www on my webserver, any idea? [14:31] LjL audio? [14:31] NightEyes: it is Ubuntu without anything proprietary, no matter what the consequences [14:31] CAPcap, I dont either :( But the terminal command will look something like $apt-get install opengl... [14:31] rek: it just downloads the flv file. then i suppose you can use ffmpeg or vlc or something to extract only the audio from it and discard the video, if you need that. [14:31] hl_99: I would imagine you need to configure your webserver. [14:32] Hi, I'm using 8.04LTS and my GVFS mounts from nautlius are not showing up in ~/.gvgfs any ideas what's up? [14:32] what the package of ffmpg? [14:32] OK I need someone to tell me how to re-install OpenGl from the terminal. [14:32] ChogyDan: Okay what about the Ubuntu extra features that ship with Ubuntu? will it strip those out to [14:33] so is there a way to install the gfx driver? [14:33] NightEyes: It won't. It'd just install dependencies for the said package. [14:33] NightEyes: no, but maybe debian is your thing if you dont want the Ubuntu extras. [14:33] kinja-sheep, isnt there any standard thing to get a directory on a webserver? [14:34] CAPcap, somewhere here: www.lmgtfy.com/?q=install+opengl+from+terminal [14:34] hl_99: What do you use for server?

LjL [14:35] hl_99, if you need the server for local use only, then try xampp [14:35] Are there any command line tools to convert a bootable CD/DVD into a bootable USB?

[14:37] hello guys i have a ibm laptop with a radeon 3450 when i installed ubuntu it asks for installing the new driver but when i install it my system wont boot up anymore. how is this possible? [14:37] llutz, the problem with the native lampp packages is that they turn your computer into a server, whereas many web devels only want a contained server that doesnt invade their entire system. [14:37] its not taking time. [14:37] it just happens in between [14:38] swiftarrow: easy to configure apache to listen to localhost only [14:39] I'm trying to scp from one live-cd ubuntu to another, but I don't know the password.

[15:14] hmm i thought dist-upgrade was just to upgrade entire distro coz_ [15:14] mikeyfbi2: it's not [15:14] mikeyfbi2: it should be apt-get upgrade [15:14] mikeyfbi2, no it is to update to current stuff for the version you have [15:14] gbear14275, sorry I haven't actually using KVM in a LONG time -- does /dev/kvm even exist on your machine, what are it's permissions? [15:14] coz_, you mentioned nvideo-something ... is there a similar command for intel? [15:14] vargadanis: perhaps qtstalker [15:14] mikeyfbi2: for upgrading the whole distro ubuntu has a totally different command [15:15] Myrtti, cool, thx jiohdi [15:15] mikeyfbi2, no not that I am aware of [15:15] ok i'll check it, Pici === kruzenbek is now known as Guest88577 [15:15] mikeyfbi2: you can do them both on one line, I believe as apt-get update && apt-get upgrade [15:16] ZykoticK9: 660 (rw-rw----) Sorry... I'm not trusting my math right now... :-/ [15:16] whats command to restart x? [15:17] mikeyfbi2, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [15:17] gbear14275, who owns / what group -- what i'm getting too, are you a member of the group that owns /dev/kvm?

[15:19] sipior i hadnt tried these programs before but yes everything else seemed to be working fine. i reinstalled ubuntu last night after some problems i was having because of some bad advice [15:19] saganbyte, free in a terminal === Alis_ is now known as Caillou [15:20] ZykoticK9, my machine has 4 gb ram but the free command is showing 3 gb ram total :( [15:20] i am having a problem with my system monitor not displaying correctly [15:20] Hi, my Packard Bell EasyNote TJ61 has a "lock touchpad" button, but it won't unlock after locking. It works again after a reboot... [15:20] saganbyte: 32 bits ubuntu? [15:20] !PAE [15:20] epinky, yes [15:20] has someone here got the fglrx driver working in karmic? [15:21] saganbyte: you have to use kernel PAE version [15:21] okay, so i've installed LAMP and gotten to the "It works!" page? now, what to do from there? where is said page source (html file) located? [15:21] sefram: I have it working [15:21] epinky: Yes I did this also. [15:21] epinky, i m sorry but I havent understood what u ve said.. do i have to download and install some other version of Ubuntu 9.10? [15:21] Ose: /var/www/ [15:21] seanw: you need the latest (9.12) version, the one included in karmic won't work [15:21] Ose: /var/www http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/ [15:21] sefram: you need the latest (9.12) version, the one included in karmic won't work [15:22] Threetimes: did you use any howto? [15:22] anyone know of a command-line utility that will interface with Skyhook? [15:22] saganbyte:32 bit only supports upt to 3gb of ram. [15:22] thanks [15:22] sefram: just download from ati.com [15:22] How Can I enable/disable my 2nd monitor without restarting X? [15:22] Ose: remove /var/www/index.html and put your documents in /var/www [15:22] saganbyte, PAE is a kernel version that lets 32bit systems address more memory (if you use 64bit Ubuntu this is not required) - best of luck man. [15:22] er [15:22] Ose: webpages I mean [15:22] Threetimes: i did activate the ones from karmic, compiled 9.12 from ati and installed but am sitting there with a black screen... [15:22] okay, so /var/www is the index location? [15:22] nope, you have to use that version linux-kernel-PAE-2.31.25 or something like that, check with "uname -a" wichi kernel you're using [15:22] eodchop: unless you use PAE.. [15:22] ZykoticK9, ok so i have to upgrade th kernel? [15:23] by default [15:23] yes [15:23] * Ose has only used windows for web stuff before [15:23] saganbyte: nope, you have to use that version linux-kernel-PAE-2.31.25 or something like that, check with "uname -a" wichi kernel you're using [15:23] thanks [15:23] epinky, okay [15:23] haha, yes, I know that feeling [15:23] is there anyway you can turn off a laptop monitor and just show external, so you can bump up the resolution on the external? [15:23] saganbyte, it's not actually "upgrade" it's change to a slightly different version (i've never used PAE, I use 64bit - so hopefully someone else can guide you in the right direction) [15:23] hi [15:24] I need a way to have a PC email it's skyhook location data [15:24] ZykoticK9, okay , thanks anyway :) [15:24] epinky, its showing this version: 2.6.31-17-generic [15:24] epinky, it doesnt mention PAE [15:24] epinky, is there something i can do to make this PAE? [15:25] saganbyte: that's why you only have 3Gig [15:25] sefram: what card do you have? Can you log into the recovery console? [15:25] epinky, okay... so should i specifically look for an Ubuntu download that has PAE? [15:26] saganbyte: how old is your computer? [15:26] anyone here worked with Skyhook at all? [15:26] gbear14275, its a brand new Acer laptop [15:26] saganbyte, PAE is only included with server (which you DON'T want), you have to add it to regular Ubuntu [15:26] saganbyte: install 64bit ubuntu [15:26] gbear14275, had windows 7 on it... wiped it out [15:26] Threetimes: I have "ATI 4200 HD" onboard with 128M sideport DDR2 mem. the driver seems to load correctly and leaves no errors but simply isnt working. I suspect the xserver to mess it up somehow... [15:27] saganbyte: or install linux-image-generic-pae [15:27] sefram: It should be supported... Can you log into the recovery console? [15:27] screen-x, install it over the current install? [15:27] saganbyte, see screen-x's reply above [15:27] saganbyte: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE [15:27] epinky, thanks [15:28] hey can i schedule a program to run after a another process ends [15:28] is there a way in gnome-terminal to quickly cut and paste CLI output at the next available prompt. For example I type locate something.conf then I want to type sudo vi (something.conf path) [15:28] I need a notepad++-ish program to edit html/css, any suggestions? [15:28] I have made a huge mistake that I still haven't been able to solve. [15:28] ZykoticK9: "with server (which you DON'T want)" <- what don't you want, the server-kernel or server-installation? [15:28] ZykoticK9, gbear14275, epinky, screen-x, thanks all :) [15:28] saganbyte: np [15:29] For some reason I removed libwnck22, as I thought that'd deinstall an app I recently installed. [15:29] llutz, for a desktop install - server is NOT the way to go PERIOD. I see people installing server then installing Gnome and I shake my head... [15:29] Threetimes: i only can log in when i dont use fglrx [15:29] But now the gnome panels are disabled. [15:29] And so are the network configuration and the rest of that stuff. [15:30] Hold shift (or press escape) while booting. Then select root promt with networking [15:30] ZykoticK9: let me rephrase it: you meant ubuntu-server installation on desktop, not installing linux-image-server as a package. so ACK [15:30] sefram: Hold shift (or press escape) while booting. Then select root promt with networking [15:30] How Can I enable/disable my 2nd monitor without restarting X? (I have nvidia) [15:30] yes im on the box right now [15:30] Wazzzaaa: nvidia-settings [15:30] !resetpanel | nefast [15:30] nefast: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [15:31] llutz, i was referring to "Ubuntu Server Install" not kernel - but I don't know why you'd want the kernel either (but it's not "as-bad" an idea) [15:31] ZykoticK9: linux-image-server = pae (just found out, it was rename to generic-pae in karmic) [15:31] Hey guys, is it possible to remove kernel entries from the bootloader without having to create a script to do it? (using Karmic) [15:31] Threetimes: any idea how i can troubleshoot that problem? [15:31] MasterofPuppets, mmm it is but grub2 is a bit tricky hold on [15:32] llutz: I do not get twinview on the right resolution [15:32] llutz, that does make sense :) [15:32] when I select "seperate X screen", it has to restart X [15:32] sefram: You have to log into the recovery console. you get there by holding shift or pressing escape a few times while booting. [15:32] llutz, ZykoticK9: what's the difference between the generic kernel and the generic-pae kernel, except pae? [15:32] sefram: Then you have to select root prompt with networking. [15:32] erm... it won't let me save /var/www/index.html... what's the ideal solution? I can't do everything as root user all the time... [15:32] Wazzzaaa, you probably don't want "sepearte x screen" you can't drag windows between both monitors with that setting [15:32] screen-x: idk, check config [15:33] MasterofPuppets, look here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275 [15:33] Threetimes: ok why would i do that? [15:33] ZykoticK9: I can... But I don't want to restart X (cuz I don't always use the 2nd monitor) [15:33] coz_: Thanks a lot, I'll check that out! [15:33] sefram: Because you have to (at least...) check your xorg.conf and/or (re)install your drivers... [15:34] Do I have to download something to get the 3D effect in Ubuntu 9.04? [15:34] Wazzzaaa, nvidia can turn twinview on and off on the fly - but starting a second X server on the second monitor will ALWAYS require an Xorg restart [15:34] Threetimes: I did that, removed drivers, reinstalled them and generated new xorg.conf with aticonfig [15:34] sefram: still doesn't work? [15:35] guys. [15:35] sefram: does it work from a live cd/usb/dvd? [15:35] Threetimes: that is what i did: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI [15:35] sefram: have you installed updates? (sudo apt-get dist-upgrade) [15:35] >.> Can someone please point me to a repo for freenx, where the packager wasn't suffering brain damage before making the package, causing it to have a somewhat complete *gnome* installation as a dependency? [15:36] the freenx team PPA repo is a complete joke. [15:36] sefram: that howto doesn't always work 100% [15:36] Threetimes: yes after a clean install [15:36] ZykoticK9: CAn you help me on getting the right reso on my 2nd monitor using twinview [15:36] Threetimes: what procedure did you use? [15:36] whats up guys [15:36] sefram: I have had problems after a clean install (yestrday :D) as well. I downloaded my drivers from ati.com [15:37] how do I do 3D menus in Ubuntu 9.04? [15:37] I can manually type in the reso. But it looks like the monitor can not be higher than 640x480 [15:37] GG19, 3d menus? [15:37] 3D view [15:37] I just ran ati's installer (as root)... [15:37] GG19, have you seen this somewhere? [15:37] my wireless card stopped being recognized after updating to the latest kernel (2.6.31-18). Is there any way that I can fix that besides booting to an older kernel? [15:37] guys, seriously. http://pastie.org/783223 [15:38] coz_, its like a 3D view of all the windows you have open [15:38] hulp: I need to be able to edit /var/www/index.html and siblings, without going through terminal and opening them as root all the time. how? [15:38] whats up peeps? [15:38] Threetimes: I tried this one: https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-9-12-x86.x86_64.run [15:38] GG19, ah oh! you mean with compiz [15:38] sefram: that's the one? Still doesn't work? [15:38] can you apt-get with make flags? [15:38] Shapeshifter: what's stopping you from putting together your own repository? [15:38] GG19, that is the scale plugin or the shiftswitcher plugin [15:38] Ose, chmod it to be world writeable [15:38] coz_, sure, do I need to download it. [15:38] Wazzzaaa, it should be a "no brainer" -- "sudo nvidia-settings" click on 'X Server Display Configuration' on the left side - highlight your monitor on the right, and in the 'Resolution' dropdown list - select what Resolution you want. Then click 'Save to X Configuration File' button at the bottom. [15:38] GG19, no but you may have to install compizconfi-settings-manager [15:38] sefram: are you sure you have all the updates from ubuntu itself? there were some showstopper bugs... [15:39] !cube | GG19 [15:39] GG19: Compiz-Fusion (and the older Compiz and Beryl) are window managers that employ the "composite" extension of X to draw windows using graphics cards' 3D hardware.

Audio dies on my ubuntu and I haven't reebooted because I don't want to. Is there something I can do to get audio working without booting [15:39] sefram: I didn't see any errors neither. But I installed the updates. [15:39] Wazzzaaa, s/"sudo nvidia-settings"/"gksu nvidia-settings" [15:39] Threetimes: which updates? [15:39] Shapeshifter: if you don't like what other people have put together for you (for free, no less), you can either 1. Pay someone else to do what you want. 2. Do it yourself. [15:40] sefram: try 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrate' in a root+network promt === py is now known as py_ [15:40] hey guys [15:40] sipior: true. [15:40] Threetimes: my system claims to be up to date [15:40] ZykoticK9: Yeah, I know it "should" be easy. But look [15:40] sipior: though I can still point out that the ones who did it for free are compeltely clueless. I mean, how on earth does anyone come to think of adding a whole gnome desktop as a dependency to freenx. [15:41] I went and did "gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnomepanel" [15:41] But it looks like the monitor can not be higher than 640x480 [15:41] sefram: sure? [15:41] Threetimes: yes [15:41] It didn't find any process called "gnomepanel" or "gnome panel" or "gnome-panel" [15:41] sefram: you *do* have a internet connection on the computer with the problem? [15:41] Shapeshifter: perhaps putting your own repository together will give you some insight into why those folks made that particular choice. [15:41] Wazzzaaa, is it an really old crt monitor? is it detected by the OS? [15:41] Hello everyone. Audio dies on my ubuntu and I haven't reebooted because I don't want to. Is there something I can do to get audio working without booting [15:42] Threetimes: Its that box im using here [15:42] Shapeshifter: or, you can simply ask them. [15:42] It is and Old CRT. (but it works in seperate X). How can I check if it is detected by the OS ?

Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) [15:42] sefram: and it worked before installing fglrx? With the default drivers? [15:42] hi [15:42] ZykoticK9: ^ [15:42] Threetimes: positive [15:42] what's the difference between a "devel" and a "libdevel" package in a debian/control file? [15:43] hello guys i have a ibm laptop with a radeon 3450 when i installed ubuntu it asks for installing the new driver but when i install it my system wont boot up anymore. how is this possible? [15:43] Threetimes: im in gnome right now typing [15:43] I'd be glad if only I could find the proper documentation [15:43] ramiro: #ubuntu-motu would be a more appropriate channel to ask in [15:43] how do I "chmod" /var/www/ to be world writable? [15:43] sefram: your card isn't broken, and your system is 100% up to date... strange... [15:43] Pici: thanks [15:44] sefram: you could try older versions of fglrx (9.11, 9.10, 9.9 etc) [15:44] sipior: on a similar topic: [15:44] jackadmin@jackfruit:~$ cat /etc/*version* [15:44] lenny/sid [15:44] Threetimes: i can login when i do it blind: say hit enter enter but screen is black [15:44] can anyone recommend a good python ide besides eclispe and idle? [15:44] uhm?? [15:44] Synaptic: "discover1 is a transitional package. This package is only used for transitioning away from the old discover1. It can safely be removed." What is the successor of discover1? [15:44] I thought this was ubuntu. and I thought lenny and sid were two different versions. [15:44] Wazzzaaa, it works at proper resolution in seperate X? If so, use nvidia-settings to save an xorg with that monitor working, then make a backup to you homedir - then use nvidia-settings again to get twinview setup, and save a differently named backup to your home dir --- THEN you should be able to manually steal the xorg setting from the "sepearte x" file and put them into the twinview file. [15:44] yucatan, looks like your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file is somehow incorrect [15:44] of debian. === jason_s is now known as Roasted [15:45] ZykoticK9: that is a good idea. I'll do that now [15:45] Threetimes: i did ony tried the one from the repros and the latest from my specian friends: AMD... [15:45] thnx in advance!

It works again after a reboot...

I am a newbie and cannot work out how to apply it. Do you know the correct syntax for my use case? [16:01] unRuhe: tried that in various ways, no change [16:01] Ose, or you might look what group this dir is owned by and then either add your user to that group or change it [16:01] unRuhe: its root [16:02] Threetimes, That might be a tough issue, hardware specific. I can lock touchpad on my laptop but it's Fn-F2; works fine, it's preserved through boot and I'm not sure it has anything to do with Ubuntu.

[16:45] kinja-sheep: sounds like an awesome app ;) [16:45] _nmap: yes [16:45] Bohemian: then we can start to make the partition scheme with fdisk [16:45] ActionParsnip: :D [16:46] No no no... this is a file that's just labeled as "executable" in its Properties menu. It's for Iron, a version of Google Chrome. Double-clicking it starts the browser up, but I want to know how to do so via CLI so I can create a launcher for docky. [16:46] hello i want to know how do i read this error from my comand i try to run a .sh script and want to know is it exactly that is telling me /bin/java: No such file or directoryline 61: /usr/java/jre1.6.0_17 [16:46] I input this command: [16:46] sudo mkdir /media/fat_partition [16:46] sudo mount -t vfat -o defaults,user,exec,uid=1000,gid=100,umask=000 /dev/sdb1 /media/fat_partition [16:46] is that how to properly mount? [16:46] girlny: does that folder exist? [16:47] unclejon: Seems correct to me [16:47] unclejon: looks fine to me [16:47] NotTooSmart: there we go, sandwich and juice [16:47] obiwan_: ou? ok? [16:47] the folder /usr/java/jre1.6.0_17/bin/java exists [16:47] Is there any body expert in bzr version control? [16:47] ActionParsnip: What do I do in the case of a file like that? [16:48] alamati: #bzr? [16:48] NotTooSmart: well, vill it be easy to clean up after alsa stuff I installed? [16:48] andorin: what does the command: file say it is? [16:48] luNix, such as? [16:48] ActionParsnip:the folder /usr/java/jre1.6.0_17/bin/java exists [16:48] ActionParsnip: iron-linux/./iron: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped [16:48] !pm | alamati [16:48] alamati: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [16:49] NotTooSmart: well, I guess I'll fix that [16:49] Really thanks [16:49] luNix, so your card does not work under alsa at all? [16:49] andorin: cool, just mark it as executable with chmod +x and it will be executable. if you put it in on of the folders in $PATH it will be universally accessible [16:49] I'm trying to use the wxpython demo files. They import wx.aui, which is not found. I use python 2.6.2 and have tried to be certain that I have the current wxpython. What to do now? [16:50] <_nmap> erUSUL, ok thanks, seems to be ok now. Both computers are ping each other [16:50] Bohemian: ok, please tell me are you going to use dedicated disks for pictures and vids? [16:50] NotTooSmart: nope, if you looked at my pastbin thingie [16:50] I am trying to work out what all of the options are in my Grub bootloader. There are two entries named "Ubuntu 9.10, kernel 2.6.31-15-generic" and "Ubuntu 9.10, kernel 2.6.28-11-generic", along with both their recovery modes. What is the difference between the two? Thanks. [16:50] how come I sudo apt-get install scite is saying it dowesn't exist!!! [16:50] luNix, alright, you can try using OSS which is working great for me on the same card if you want but its up to you [16:50] NotTooSmart: my soundcard kinda say "do I realy exist" hehe, "and why" [16:50] U have multiverse and universe and all that checked [16:50] _nmap: to make the change permanent you will have to use the interfaces file /etc/network/interfaces [16:51] ActionParsnip: It already /is/ executable. As I said, double-clicking it launches the program. What I want to know is what the command would be to launch it via the command line so I can create an application launcher for it, instead of it just sitting in its directory as a file. [16:51] ejcweb: one is older than the other. you can remove thee -11 kernel if you do not use it [16:51] obiwan_: the videos, yes [16:51] picture,s no [16:51] luNix, if you want to try alsa start by adding this to your /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [16:51] NotTooSmart: I'll give it a try... and it will do I hope [16:51] luNix, err if you want to try oss I mean [16:51] Using 9.10, when I go to Wywtem/preferences there are two listings for default printer. How do I get rid of one of them? [16:51] NotTooSmart: oki [16:52] luNix, http://pastebin.com/m2c2b7bfd add those lines to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [16:52] andorin: gotcha, you will need to specify the full path the the filename, it no different to launching any other binary from terminal. if you put it in /usr/bin you can just call it without the path [16:52] did someone remove scite from the freakin repo [16:53] how can i tell if a drive has been mounted?

[16:53] or whatever. [16:53] thefirstdude: SciTE is available in the software center, if it's not there, go to update manager, click check, then go back into the software center and check again. [16:53] how can i change it to use keys without insert letters in the script? [16:53] how do i tell if i've mounted it. [16:53] unclejon: you can see the mounted partitions by running: mount [16:53] i need help with making a link to a game in the bin folder so i can just run it from the command line [16:54] <_nmap> erUSUL, to share the command iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o wlan0 -j MASQUERADE is right?

[16:54] bmatt: cd /usr/bin; sudo ln -s /path/to/file ./name [16:54] NotTooSmart: I mean to the pastbin thingie [16:54] where find firefox [16:54] ActionParsnip: Wait... are you sure you read my reply correctly? I already know that I need to specify the full path. What I am asking for is the command I would use to [16:54] Whoops, stupid Enter key [16:55] NotTooSmart: nevermind, I work in it here first [16:55] 为何没有中文的 [16:55] ？ [16:55] _nmap: i think you have to specify the in interface add "-i eth1" ? [16:55] ActionParsnip: Never mind, I got it... I remembered that the command would be "iron-linux/./iron" and that's it. That's what I was asking for. [16:55] 你好 [16:55] luNix, copy the lines from the pastebin i sent you and if your on a GUI type, gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and add the lines + save file [16:55] !zh | mengyening [16:55] mengyening: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [16:55] _nmap: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing [16:55] What's the easiest way to reduce the size (quality) of a number of jpeg files (photographs of documents) in Ubuntu? Do I have to go one by one in Gimp (and what's the best way to do it there?) or is there something better? [16:56] andorin: ok lets assume the file is called test.exe on the desktop. the command to run it would be: /home/$USER/Desktop/test.exe [16:56] ActionParsnip: Yup, that's what I needed to know. [16:56] andorin: it doesnt need anything special. [16:56] jenda: kipi plugins (for kunbuntu) [16:56] i get an error when i try to run it [16:56] actionparsnip ^ [16:57] <_nmap> erUSUL, thakns for the tip man.

[17:05] CAPcap, no cause idk how sorry :-( i dont use a gui on ubuntu [17:05] so no need for opengl [17:05] At the moment Grub loads my Ubuntu installation by default; is it possible to make another operating system the default option (ie.

Any idea how to reaquire it via ssh? [17:08] luNix, alright hold one sec [17:09] On startup, evolution asks for access to my keyring. This means evolution is running (ps confirms it). However it's NOT in my System->Preferences->Startup Applications. How do I make it go away? [17:09] does anyone have any experience with tsmuxer? [17:09] luNix, sudo dpkg -i oss and hit tab it will complete the file name [17:09] how do I check my driver's firmware? [17:09] uncmar: is it a usb keyboard? [17:09] ActionParsnip: I'm putting my money on the wireless/bluetooth. :\ [17:09] linux2half: sudo lshw | less [17:09] ActionParsnip: laptop. built-in keyboard. I assume ps/2 type interface.

[17:10] NotTooSmart: " Errors were encountered while processing: oss-linux" [17:10] ActionParsnip: The keyboard appears to work but is somehow ubuntu is not responding to it. [17:10] its probably gaypr0n [17:10] actionparsnip: thanks [17:10] NotTooSmart: normal error I guess? [17:10] uncmar: then run: lsmod | grep usb remove then reload the modules listed, then run: sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart [17:11] luNix, no, hold on [17:11] Stop clicking the link people, otherwise you become one of those ^ [17:11] It uses javascript to make you spam. [17:11] and it will get you klined [17:11] NoScript ftw? [17:11] that too. [17:12] if you want to look at the page i suggest using wget and a text editor, nothing else. [17:12] luNix, are you running 2.6 kernel? [17:12] does anyone have any experience with tsmuxer? [17:12] ActionParsnip: no modules are listed with lsmod | grep usb [17:12] lol wow, dumb people are still clicking it [17:13] Hi, my Packard Bell EasyNote TJ61 has a "lock touchpad" button, but it won't unlock after locking. It works again only after a reboot... [17:13] CShadowRun: not necessarily more people clicked. its not like only 1 new user is spawned from each click [17:13] Oh, that link is making legit people's browsers do that? [17:13] The_Thing: yes [17:13] luNix, run sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-sound-base and select OSS and try to dpkg -i the oss file again [17:14] The_Thing: that's the point of the link [17:14] CShadowRun: Does the .txt file contain anything worth getting it? [17:14] ah, heh... [17:14] What do these links do? [17:14] Threetimes: turn you into a spambot [17:14] Andorin: not really, just lame stuff [17:14] How? [17:14] k [17:14] Threetimes: and then you attack the channel [17:14] Threetimes: javascript [17:14] Threetimes: er, attackt he server i mean [17:14] * Andorin types /clear [17:14] Problem solved. [17:14] :) [17:14] is it possible to update/upgrade your firmware? [17:14] How do these links look (i didn't recieve any)? [17:15] Threetimes: Essentially they cause your browser to connect to freenode via HTTP, and cause your browser to send out these CTCP version requests. [17:15] Threetimes: if you get a link in a PM, do not click it. thats basically it. [17:15] Hey, I've got a wierd problem here. I've rebooted a couple times, but I can't get the restricted driver manager to offer me the option to install the driver for my BCM4328 [17:15] Andorin, I just wget ed the text file, it's a bunch of keywords for every topic under the sun and a tiny bit of vicious jscript [17:15] rethus: I'm not sure how well it will work with vim-tiny, may want to install the full vim (sudo apt-get install vim; if you're on karmic) [17:16] interesting... so looks like chromium isn't comatible with those links [17:16] NotTooSmart: I changed to oss in linux-sound-base (did I just try tab that word... never mind), still the same with the deb package [17:16] HTTP as in? IRC != http?! [17:16] NotTooSmart: sorry! my bad! no gcc installed [17:16] sorry :) [17:16] luNix, yea that was my next step [17:16] haha [17:17] Snappo, are you in 9.10? [17:17] no, 9.04 [17:17] how do i convert mkv to m2ts? [17:17] 9.10 crashes too much [17:17] NotTooSmart: I'm blind *tap tap on the screen* [17:17] luNix, but wait before you try again look @ this [17:17] hi all ;) [17:17] swiftarrow: Any idea what the jscript is supposed to do? [17:17] is it possible to update/upgrade firmware..? [17:17] Threetimes: are you saying you're surprised to find that things-that-arent-webpages are not http? [17:17] luNix, install all these first http://pastebin.com/m665f62a [17:18] Snappo, hm. you can try to google search for the deb or the particular installation method... [17:18] I'm not able to burn some DVD due to my current firmware version. [17:18] Andorin: it spawns connections to the server that then spam others, using your browser as the base for a bunch of spambots [17:18] Oh, I see. [17:18] swiftarrow: all I can seem to find on google is instructions on how to use the hardware manager [17:18] Snappo, with bcm cards I usually have to do something like that, bypassing the restricted drivers. just my 2c [17:18] IRC doesn't use HTTP, right? Or does it? [17:18] how can I tell if I have bluetooth on my laptop (I realize I should know what hardware is installed...) [17:18] Threetimes: normally it uses the irc protocol [17:18] but when I run it it just says "searching for drives" and then nothing [17:18] lspci work? [17:18] Snappo, try to use ndiswrapper. Its dead easy, and works most of the time [17:18] Threetimes, no, but if you click the link ;-p [17:18] NotTooSmart: I'm on it, just have to type the letters, since I cant paste in gtk browser, hang on [17:19] "dead easy" huh [17:19] Threetimes: but you can make web-based irc clients (like mibbit.com) so it makes sense that this is possible [17:19] okay [17:19] Snappo, I haven't had 100% success with the restricted driver either. [17:19] luNix, alrighty [17:19] these links exploit services like mibbit? [17:19] !ot [17:19] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [17:19] Threetimes: no, they implement something similar to mibbit [17:19] * swiftarrow is tired, it's late, is going to sleep. Good luck everyone! And no, I don't know enough jscript to decifer those files! === sayanriju is now known as sayanriju2 [17:20] my laptop won't turn on. power lights are off, no power at all seems to be getting anywhere. any suggestions?

[17:21] gbear14275: What make/model? Even if you don't have BT, it is cheap to buy a BT adapter. 2-3 bucks at most. [17:21] gbear14275: depends if the bluetooth module is pci based [17:21] gbear14275: it wil list all pci devices. If your bluetooth module is an pci device, then yes. [17:21] gbear14275: if its usb, youd want lsusb [17:21] Is it possible to update/upgrade firmware [17:21] kinja-sheep: T61 [17:21] gbear14275: sudo lshw lists *all* hardware in your computer. That's the easiest way [17:21] gbear14275: "lsusb | grep blue" [17:22] gbear14275: "lsusb | grep -i blue" (just in case).

For example, I have a youtube video up, and I try to turn on rythmbox, when i press play, the seek-bar for the music wont even move. How do I go about fixing this? [17:24] gbear14275: U haz bluetooth? [17:24] Kamokow: Tried getting new drivers?

[17:25] luNix, if the .deb wont install try rebooting and trying again [17:25] NotTooSmart: it's not done yet [17:25] luNix, alright [17:25] is it possible to update or upgrade firmwaer [17:25] kinja-sheep: looking through lshw [17:25] NotTooSmart: reboot? not just restart something? [17:25] luNix, you got the .deb installing now? [17:25] Kamokow: I think it sounds like a driver problem.. Tried with another music application? Exaile? [17:26] NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. [17:26] gbear14275: Try "lsusb | grep -i blue" [17:26] knxville: sometimes multiple apps will run with sound, but not very often [17:26] NotTooSmart: " ...building modules" ...after that I go for the deb again then its done [17:26] hello? [17:27] diedius: Hi. :) [17:27] kinja-sheep: no hits... computer says no [17:27] Just an FYI to everyone, the floods are apparently going to be fixed in 12 days thanks to a new IRCd on freenode. [17:27] aah, irc is working [17:27] (You can read about that at the freenode blog) [17:27] luNix, ok [17:27] gbear14275: The chance is that you don't have BT. I ran the command in my computer + BT adapter and the laptop. Both came up. [17:27] kinja-sheep: looks like its time to shop for daughter cards [17:27] anyone know why thunderbird would be displaying the jpg attachments without decoding it? [17:27] NotTooSmart: "NOTE! You are using trial version of Open Sound System" [17:27] hmm [17:27] luNix, its not rly [17:28] heh yeah [17:28] Kamokow: I dont reckon that problem..

[17:30] luNix, so try this sudo modprobe oss_sblive and then try ossinfo [17:30] knxville: Well, I have tried other music programs, and they all seem to be affected by the same problem :-/ [17:30] NotTooSmart: yeah, ossconfig shoe me my external soundcard [17:30] show [17:30] Kamokow: I'm sorry then I'm at no help for yea.. [17:31] luNix, ok, so run this command.... sudo ln -ls /dev/dsp /dev/oss/oss_sblive0/pcm0 [17:33] luNix, and your card should work... [17:33] NotTooSmart: what is "ln" ? [17:33] <_nmap> unf [17:33] must have an - right? [17:33] luNix, it creates a symbolic link, man ln [17:34] NotTooSmart: well I got this "ln: invalid option -- 'l'" but its more like wrong with "-ls", right? [17:34] luNix, hrm actually before you do that. what does cat /dev/oss say? [17:35] luNix, err ls /dev/oss [17:35] is it possible to update or upgrade your firmware?

It's an ath5k card, which works fine on my "old" usb-key running karmic, but doesn't work on my desktop (which I upgraded yesterday iirc). Logs are not very helpful...

[17:39] NotTooSmart: thank you very mush [17:39] much [17:39] luNix, make a link between the device and /dev/dsp [17:39] so you dont have to set each program manually for the correct device [17:39] Trying to mount: /dev/sda3 to /media/storage where it will hopefully be mounted by my user and not root. I have give given it the options defaults,user in fstab but it seems to ignore the user option. Any idea's? [17:39] NotTooSmart: a symbolic link? [17:39] luNix, ossmix vol 100 and ossmix pcm 100 where 100 is anynumber will change your volume.... [17:39] luNix, yes [17:40] NotTooSmart: thats all I figured out [17:40] how can i configure auto-login for some of the accounts on this computer? [17:40] luNix, :-P [17:40] luNix, btw OSS sounds much better than alsa [17:40] NotTooSmart: goodie [17:41] luNix, alright, i gotta go clean my house any more questions :-D [17:41] NotTooSmart: no, I figure that symbolic link out I guess [17:41] NotTooSmart: thanks again [17:41] luNix, i think it is ln -s [17:42] Im probably getting a new computer soon, how would I go about making sure it will be compatable with Linux? [17:42] NotTooSmart: great [17:42] Kamokow, check the chipset / hardware against the wiki? [17:43] NotTooSmart: Theres a wiki for compatable hardware?

I have give given it the options defaults,user in fstab but it seems to ignore the user option. Any idea's? [17:47] RediXe: Automount it [17:48] RediXe: user only means that a user can mount it [17:48] RediXe: which filesystem does the partition holds ?

[18:02] CAPcap: Well, it depends on which login manager you want to use. Do you want to use gdm (Ubuntu's login manager) or kdm (Kubuntu's login manager)? [18:02] so its just asking about my log in screen? [18:02] CAPcap: yes [18:02] how do i choose?

[18:07] ive already been chastised so shut up [18:07] kinja-sheep, i am root right now, but i'm seeking a restricted, no password, account for family [18:07] nick125, thanks, that's my perception too "not so easy" , just found git-core is installed, I think I will remove it, and go with something more "traditional" like cvs.subversion [18:07] none of my usb devices are recognized. running 'tail -f /var/log/messages' shows nothing when they are plugged in/out. [18:07] kinja-sheep, i've created the account, and can log in, but cannot enable auto-login or disable password prompts [18:07] matelot: It's better than SVN, especially for a small project. Once you have git configured (name and email), you can just do 'git init' in a directory and that directory now git-enabled. Then you can do 'git add .' to add all of the files in the directory, then a 'git commit -a' to "commit" the changes to the repo. [18:07] I want aptitude only to look at the latest repo i added, how do i do that? [18:07] has anybody experienced router disconnection when using a webcam? [18:08] Buttons840: Okay. Try this.

[18:08] whenever i try to 'make' it, it says there is no 'makefile' but i can see that there is [18:08] matelot: Honestly, SVN is about the same when it comes to difficulty. Plus, it's harder to setup for a single repo.

That is all. [18:10] I attempted to upgrade from GRUB version one to GRUB2. I messed it up, and after hours of attempting to repair the problem last night with another user, we had to call it a night and give up.

[18:10] arvind_khadri: I don't see how looking at one repo would be helpful. [18:10] nick125 it went thru a ton of stuff and says done, so, if i reboot, i'll have the options? [18:10] none of my usb devices are recognized. running 'tail -f /var/log/messages' shows nothing when they are plugged in/out. tried choosing another kernel at grub. [18:11] evening all [18:11] CAPcap: You can just logout and look around for something like "Session: GNOME". Change that to KDE and you should be good to go. [18:11] arvind_khadri: "sudo aptitude update && aptitude search " [18:11] Pici, it will save the time [18:11] matelot: The GUIs for Git probably aren't what you're looking for. The GUIs are typically for viewing history. [18:12] n0ah_: Use "dmesg | tail" instead. [18:12] arvind_khadri: Packages usually have dependencies that are not satisfied within their particular repository, thus making it unfeasable to just install from within them.

[19:14] Roasted: hm, try checking your phonon settings [19:14] Roasted: you might want to check the program's settings as to what driver/device it's sending audio to, and try forcing it to diff options such as pulse/ALSA/etc [19:14] strywgr: kino or avidemux are 2 possible option [19:14] where are phonon settings at? [19:14] oh ha! [19:14] Leolo_3: what changed since install? [19:15] jrib: source of the packages in the unr repo [19:15] so all ido is edit it in and put in that in? [19:15] ocean : nothing that I know of [19:15] daftykins - but why would this happen? Any idea why Ubuntu would handle it better than Kubuntu? [19:15] ok, if I run users-admin as non-root, w/o sudo, I don't get the warning and I have somethings non-greyed out [19:15] but xconfg won't let me save it [19:15] It's frustrating to have a new install and you have a simple thing like audio programs interfering. It was enough for me to drop Kubuntu and come back to Ubuntu. [19:15] gp5st: worst case scenario, I'm sure you can use the deb-src line for the repo. Does unr not have some homepage? [19:16] Leolo_3: don't run gui apps using sudo, use "gksudo" [19:16] Roasted: well amarok is a more KDE app as far as i know so it might not be tweaked just right, not sure [19:16] ice_stone: star [19:16] ice_stone: no, well it'd go in the Section "Screen" as like "Option "metamodes" "CRT" or "DFP", etc. you should try finding an example xorg.conf somewhere and editing it or using a GUI tool like nvidia-settings if you have an nvidia [19:16] daftykins: well it uses qt libs [19:16] gp5st: also, why not just use unr? [19:16] i have nvidia [19:16] but it won't let me go get 120hz [19:16] all i get is limited refreshes [19:16] nvidia ftw :P === r4ban is now known as giskard2 [19:16] ice_stone: are you sure your monitor supports 120hz [19:17] i want to set each resolution with their own refresh [19:17] ice_stone: start xconfig with gksudo/sudo? [19:17] Andy14: +1 [19:17] yes I'm sure [19:17] jrib: this is on an xo and using the debxo distro seemed simpler; everything works, this is just a nicety [19:17] this is so annoying i would like to learn [19:17] ice_stone: then iw ould have nvidia create the xorg.conf file, then edit it manually. just make sure you run nvidia-settings and vim xorg.conf as sudo [19:17] what is sudo all about? [19:17] alt+f2 then type 'gksudo nvidia-settings' [19:17] ice_stone: have you ran: gksudo jockey-gtk ? [19:18] jrib: i think i found the source [19:18] sorry it's been a stupid day:( [19:18] ice_stone: running as the admin so you have write permissions [19:18] ice_stone: its a way for special users to run admin apps [19:18] Is there a way to mount a Linux partition from a Live CD, and then execute commands as though you were actually booted into and using that partition? [19:18] !sudo | ice_stone [19:18] ice_stone: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [19:18] gp5st: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UNR lists some main packages which I'm willing to bet are mostly already in debian repositorie [19:18] ok, next question :-) [19:18] ice_stone: unlike windows which stupidly sets up the default user as an admin, ubuntu sets up a true user with special accesses [19:18] I created a user with users-admin, but that user isn't showing up in system-config-samba when I want to grant access to only that user... [19:18] SealedWithAKiss: yu can chroot to that parition if that parition has minimal support to look like a real rootfs [19:19] SealedWithAKiss: you are looking for chroot [19:19] How does one *completely* remove a package and everything associated with it in order to install it again? [19:20] jMyles: purge [19:20] jMyles: hm.... apt-get remove isnt enough? [19:20] jMyles: aptitude purge package [19:20] :) [19:20] jMyles: sudo apt-get --purge remove packagename; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove [19:20] jMyles: also you may want to remove the configuration folder in your home if any [19:20] so on boot i'm getting X crashes, followed by "The display server has been shut down about 6 times in the last 90 seconds. It is likely that something bad is going on. Waiting for 2 minutes before trying again on display :0." [19:20] Sound fun? [19:20] erUSUL, sybariten: But even with purge, if there are directories and .conf files that I want to be re-written, they aren't [19:20] i have a (crappy) camara, omnivision OV519. It works with Cheese, and audacity can record about half a second of sound with it. cant use it with skype. any way to fix this? [19:21] jMyles: Oh [19:21] jMyles: as i said. conf files in your home are not touched [19:21] guntbert, so I could chroot into the partition and then execute sudo apt-get remove grub2 for instance? [19:21] tonsofpcs: what just changed? or is it a new install? [19:21] jMyles: well, there is, believe it or not, an apt channel === kelvin is now known as Guest66684 [19:21] SealedWithAKiss: yes [19:21] erUSUL: Not in home, but for example, /etc/something.conf [19:21] consolecowboy: see what module it uses then see if their is a newer version [19:21] oh feh, i have to add the user to samba... [19:21] daftykins: i forget... i haven't touched it in about 2 months because this happened... i think it may have been an X package update [19:21] how would i go about doing that? [19:21] jMyles: with purge that file should be removed with the package afaik [19:21] got a bit of a mount problem. fstab is still the same but the secondary harddrive shows as busy when doing mount [19:21] tonsofpcs: you tried fully updating the system at command line login, on a TTY? [19:22] panzer: you can see what is mounted with: mount [19:22] !chroot [19:22] chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot) [19:22] Anyone mind helping me out with something. === NotADJ is now known as TheDJACR [19:22] !ask | ChaoticXSinZ [19:22] ChaoticXSinZ: 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).

[19:23] ActionParsnip__: how would i check what module the cam uses? [19:23] panzer: then try to mount it at command line [19:23] I want to be able to hear audio from my default X session once I have started another. (e.g "X :3 -ac -terminate") [19:23] consolecowboy: lsmod | less will show you te loaded modules [19:23] erUSUL, sybariten, ActionParsnip__, dupondje: It's not actually the removal I'm concerned about, but the re-installation. I want to know how to restore a program to its default state, as if I had just installed the package. I've often wondered this. There must be an easier way than going to another ubuntu computer, installing the package in question, and copying the files. [19:23] SealedWithAKiss: you need to make aviable the dev proc and sys filesystems to the chroot prior to actually chroot [19:23] Is there some way to setup pulseaudio to do that? [19:23] ActionParsnip__: mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /media/320gig/ fails cause already mounted or busy [19:23] SealedWithAKiss: see http://www.nistor.co.uk/2009/12/chroot-into-ubuntu-from-debian/ [19:24] panzer: is your pwd /media/320gig ? [19:24] SealedWithAKiss: easy do for the three dirs this « sudo mount --bind /sys/ /munted/rootfs/ » (do the same with dev/ and /proc/ [19:24] erUSUL, so I have to do mount /dev/proc mount dev/sys? [19:24] neg [19:24] jMyles: there is some --force-conf [19:24] or so [19:24] that resets the configs also [19:24] SealedWithAKiss: after dsoing it you can do the chroot « sudo chroot /mounted/rootfs/ » [19:24] jMyles: the purge will remove all, you will then need to remove the config from $HOME [19:25] ActionParsnip__: I really don't know if this helps but rhythmbox dumped. and I have apt-get removed that [19:25] how can i check where a symbolic link links to? [19:25] daftykins: that's what i'm about to try. wasn't really looking for help, just laughing ;) [19:25] I have two questions for you all: does anyone know if someone has figured out how to put music on an ipod touch 3.0 firmware without jailbreaking. Also, does anyone happen to know if MPD can also server music via daap. [19:25] yah! that should be all. Thank you all you helpful folks [19:25] wolter: ls -l shows it [19:25] thanks erUSUL [19:26] So is it possible?

[19:27] SealedWithAKiss: is « sudo mount --bind /sys/ /munted/rootfs/sys/ » the same for /proc/ and /dev/ (doing the proper sustitution on both arguments) [19:27] Guyz am having serious problem with installation of ubuntu server.

From the hardware installation package manager it says i need to install the drivers and then it tries to download and then giver me a "Sorry, installation of this driver failed Please have a look at the log file for details: /var/log/jockey.log" Ive posted the file at http://pastebin.com/d779013cd and have been following this [19:51] guide [19:51] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI [19:52] sca: no it uses scripts and settings to make /boot/grub/grub.cfg [19:52] hey, anyone know of a command-line bandwidth monitoring tool with some ascii graphs for a big screen? [19:52] 0924 [19:52] All the letters in AbiWord appear to close to the cursor and I can only see half of the letter while writing. It works fine as another user on the same computer, both using the same settings. Anybody have any clue what this can be? [19:52] fanno, type in terminal ps aux | grep apache [19:52] i have adapted the 40_custom script, after that he made the menu.lst and changed nothing in MBR [19:52] strider24: I guess vnstat is what you need [19:53] tpls just a point in right direction? [19:53] ActionParsnip__, I have a very weird situatioin here , my belkin USB adapter connects to a belkin router (unsecured) in the area but it doesn't see my 2wire router at all [19:53] I should also note that the letters appear as they should in OpenOffice.org writer [19:53] Out_Cold: ok the server is running right now let me reboot realy quick to make sure things are "correct" [19:53] hi, why are there folders in which i can do 'cat *' and i others i get "cat: invalid option -- 'N' Try `cat --help' for more information."? How can i get something close to 'cat *' for these folders? [19:53] fanno, run now before reboot [19:53] i have 5 mins left on lunch time.. [19:53] BluesKaj: is the ESSID hidden? [19:54] Out_Cold: http://pastebin.com/m5cc7de91 [19:54] I have chrooted into my Karmic partition from a Live CD. I need to remove GRUB2, however I have a boot partition which is separate to my Karmic partition. How can I go about removing GRUB2 from my boot partition? [19:54] i dont really know what drivers i need for graphics, is there a way to automatically do it? [19:54] I use Ubuntu 9.10 and Firefox. When I try to play Texas HoldEm Poker on Facebook no tables is visible. Any suggestions? [19:54] ooh... and i'm going to see the oylimpic torch today... woohoo OT [19:54] Out_Cold: right now it is running form a manual start up [19:54] SealedWithAKiss: install whatever bootloader you want over it [19:55] saxin: is your ubuntu 64bit? [19:55] ikkerus: no ascii graph in it. [19:55] fanno, you possibly need to add it to the .rclocal but unfortunately my lunch break is over :p [19:55] ActionParsnip__: Yes. [19:56] saxin: could try the 64bit plugin, copy the .so from the tar.gz to ~/.mozilla/plugins you will nee dto remove the current flash packages to avoid conflicts [19:56] ChogyDan, okay then. So if I chroot from a LiveCD into my Karmic partition, and run sudo apt-get remove grub2, GRUB2 will automatically be removed from my separate boot partition? I have tried that, and it hasn't worked. I need to revert back to GRUB1. [19:56] ActionParsnip__, no i have the essid listed in /etc/ wpa-supplicant.conf [19:56] Im trying to get my sound to work. I have a realtek alc889a audio codec on my motherboard. What should I do? I cant find drivers anywhere. [19:56] BluesKaj: does it connect if you have it unsecured? [19:56] anyone know what he meant ? (20:54:56) Out_Cold: fanno, you possibly need to add it to the .rclocal but unfortunately my lunch break is over :p [19:57] Rubbberducky: run: lspci | grep -i audio [19:57] ActionParsnip__: You know if it will work? [19:57] Rubbberducky: then websearch the output [19:57] the config changed but i rebooted my computer and it changed resolution but won't go to 120hz! [19:57] saxin: it will help as its native rather than via nspluginwrapper [19:57] why there is NO 120hz for 800x600 or 1024x768 why why? [19:57] SealedWithAKiss: yeah, remove the package so it doesn't get installed in the future, but just install grub1 over it [19:57] isaac_: there is if you define it in xorg.conf [19:58] folks, for whatever reason i can't use the built-in wireless tool but iwconfig and dhclient work well. is there a "better" or "best" wireless GUI available besides the one that comes with standard install (9.10)? [19:58] i did put in "Option "metamodes" "1024x768_120 +0+0"" [19:58] ChogyDan, that's what I have done. However the GRUB2 bootloader is still being used. [19:58] and its still is like that in there [19:58] hey guys simple question, i just installed a fresh install of ubuntu 9.10. how do i install kde? [19:58] ActionParsnip__, i haven't tried unsecured , don't think i will try either [19:58] ActionParsnip: What do I do with that information? [19:59] I want to be able to switch 1024x768 at 120hz then switch to 1600x1200 at 85 hz whenever i want to [19:59] hello, I've got problems with my ATI 5750 running the 9.12 drivers, after 5 to 10 minutes my screen turns grey [19:59] adam_: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [19:59] has somebody seen the same problem? [19:59] guntbert, will that install all of the libs etc? [19:59] SealedWithAKiss: you probably arent installing grub correctly [20:00] good day all. Have you guys seen where if I mount a windows shared in nautilus usign smb://ip/share/ it works but if I mount in command line using mount -t cifs only root can write to files? [20:00] BluesKaj: well if it works unsecured, you know its the security at fault [20:00] meh. ubuntu doesnt see my ethernet card :[ [20:00] I think in 9.10, you can choose the enviornment before logging in. adam. [20:00] !kde | adam_ if I read correctly - yes [20:00] adam_ if I read correctly - yes: KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . See http://kubuntu.org for more information. For more information on KDE 4, see !kde4 [20:00] ChogyDan, how do I go about installing GRUB? Is apt-get install grub sufficient? [20:00] Burn: install openssh-server when it goes grey, ssh in and view the kernel logs [20:00] guntbert, thanks! [20:00] ActionParsnip__: sometimes the whole PC crashes [20:00] hallowname: run: sudo lshw -C network you will see the product name which you can then websearch for [20:00] adam_: have fun :) [20:01] ActionParsnip__, the Belkin router that the USB adapter connects to is across the street in a neighbours house :) [20:01] ActionParsnip__, did you get my last message? [20:01] isaac_: add the right data to xorg.confand it will be used [20:01] isaac_: my client is configured to block PMs [20:01] ActionParsnip__, is my data wrong? [20:02] isaac_: well if its not doing it then most likely yes [20:02] ActionParsnip__, my line is Option "metamodes" "1024x768_120 +0+0" [20:02] ActionParsnip__, then what should i do? [20:02] hey, anyone know of a commandline bandwidth tool with real time ascii graph? [20:02] sorry for the repost ... not sure if i disconnected or what. what is the "best" wireless GUI to use? Seems the built-in package with 9.10 doesn't work for me but iwconfig / iwlist / dhclient are working manually for now. [20:03] strider24: iftop? [20:03] Why does Ubuntu Karmic provide no packages for FreeNX? [20:03] isaac_: do you have refresh rates defined in the monitor section? [20:03] !info freenx [20:03] Package freenx does not exist in karmic [20:03] !freenx [20:03] FreeNX is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX [20:04] llutz: iftop is good, thanks. [20:04] ActionParsnip__, I don't think so but my monitor supports 120hz at 1024x768 for sure [20:04] bullgard: the guide shows how to add the freenx ppa [20:04] isaac_: it could do 2000Mhz if the file is not configured right it wont do it [20:05] ActionParsnip__, there is no 120hz in nvidia setting so thats why i wanted to edit it in so i have 120hz in my 1024x768 [20:05] ActionParsnip__, so what exactly should I do? [20:05] isaac_: then you will need to sidestep nvidia-settings [20:05] isaac_: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/archive/index.php/t-95357.html has a monitor section you can use [20:06] isaac_: you can websearc round for xorg.conf examples to get the settings you want. [20:06] ActionParsnip__, okay i'm doing that now [20:08] ActionParsnip__, is it like getting right driver for the monitor than using default refresh? [20:08] 79724 [20:09] isaac_: you have the right driver, you just need to give it better settings [20:09] hello everyone, I am new to linux and was wondering if anyone could help me compile some code?

[20:12] Hello. I've a real big problem. By some unknown event my system was not only blocked but could not start again. Apparently some important files were corrupted. [20:12] I'm having problems with OpenGl things not running i keep getting Sementation fault is there anyway to re-install/repair OpenGl without reinstalling ubuntu? [20:12] SealedWithAKiss: run software center and search for grub, you can then uninstall those packages [20:12] CAPcap: reinstall video drivers should help [20:13] how do i do that [20:13] system is AMD64 with ubunty HARDY (8.04). I have started with an USB-stick with HArdy. I wonder if it is possible to reinstall ubuntu and replace the corrupted files. [20:13] HAs anybody an idea?? === JimmyJ|zz is now known as JimmyJ [20:14] CAPcap: NVIDIA card? [20:14] ActionParsnip__, I can't run software center. I'm chrooted into the partition. [20:14] ATi Mobility Radeon 9000 [20:15] SealedWithAKiss: then run: dpkg -l | grep grub [20:15] upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10, cd/dvd writer worked fine in 9.04 now it does not work at all, installed from the drive, at reboot died and wont even read disc in drive now, any ideas? [20:15] hey, does anybody here know how to set the size of a maximized window? I'm trying to have a sidebar that's always on the screen and maximizing would obviously cover that up === Max is now known as Guest97011 [20:15] CAPcap: the open driver will do you fine, you can use xorg.conf to force resolution / driver / refresh rates [20:15] ActionParsnip__, PM? [20:15] SealedWithAKiss: remove the packages it finds [20:16] ActionParsnip__: Thank you very much for your help. [20:16] CAPcap: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI [20:16] hi [20:17] I want (or let's say I must) use SASL for the postfix smtpd [20:17] now the docs say I need to create /usr/local/lib/sasl2/smtpd.conf [20:17] SealedWithAKiss: those are the grub packages to remove, you could also remove it from the MBR but I amnot sure how [20:17] anyway, that folder is not there. is that folder at a different place on ubuntu? [20:18] joep, how did your files get corrupted and how do you know that they are corrupted?

[20:19] Supersonic: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:19] ActionParsnip__, it's not removing the boot loader. It's on a separate boot partition. [20:20] mkanyicy, Thanks for your reply. Well, when starting the logo comes up -or otherwise a lot of txt flies over the screen) and then comes the message:" not avialble kernel panic!! and then the cpas and scroll lights start blinking and the system is dead.sbin/init [20:20] Supersonic, did you configure authentication ? [20:20] SealedWithAKiss: not sure then duder [20:20] thanks llutz [20:20] may I also ask how it is possible to blacklist or preferrably whitelist users allowed for smtp login? [20:20] anybody here experienced with compiz? [20:21] Mr_Giraffe: i'd ask in #compiz [20:21] anybody read me? i pasted by accident, i hope i'm not banned [20:21] ActionParsnip__, a good idea, but I'm not sure if this is necessarily a compiz question [20:21] I'll try it though! [20:21] joep, what did you do then? did you upgrade or install a new package or changed something? [20:22] brb reboot [20:22] Mr_Giraffe, I have had a lot of trouble with it. It's a resource hog. My experience is to get rid of it as soon as possible. This goes for hartdy. I have KArmic and there compiz is not automatically installed. [20:22] hi all! I have dual OS with XP+Ubuntu and now my XP s messep up [20:22] joep, I'm actually not having any problems with it [20:22] idea4gud: this is normal [20:22] Mr_Giraffe, how come you ask about compiz experience when you are not sure you will ask a compiz question or not? [20:23] Yarcanox: not sure, read about "check_sender_access" [20:23] SealedWithAKiss: try and mount the boot partition within the chroot [20:23] mkanyicy, I'm fairly certain it's a compiz thing I'm trying to tweak, but not 100% [20:23] just trying to figure out how to set the maximum size of a maximized window [20:23] Mr_Giraffe, what is it? [20:23] what is it doing, idea [20:23] I dont wanna rui y ubuntu whn i run recovery disk [20:23] Ia bazaar suitable for personal use ? [20:23] mkanyicy, see above [20:23] Mr_Giraffe, first, can you do that when compiz is turned off? [20:23] mkanyicy, No! I first restarted with another kernel but that was Fedora. All other ubuntu's on that disk were either not reachable or gave t he same error. [20:24] llutz: I put that smtp.conf in place, also activated sasl auth in main.cf but still, everytime I try to login using a valid user it denies access and says it's a wrong password/login info [20:24] :< [20:24] mkanyicy, I'm not really sure...that's the main issue [20:24] i cant log n with skype .. i use ubuntu 9.10 [20:24] Hi all! i am having problems with video resolution in ubuntu 9.10 can anyone help me? [20:24] Can anyone help me with installing gtk+? [20:24] matelot, yes.. [20:24] How do I reinstall the open drivers? i think something is corrupted in them? [20:24] I use it [20:24] llutz: sorry, *smtpd.conf [20:24] mkanyicy, I'm assuming it can be done considering things like docky and AWN do just that [20:24] but I'm not sure how they do it [20:24] i have a strange problem. apache won't start when my webserver starts. there are no error in apache log or in system log .. and apache is located in the runlevel folder ... anyone have any idea what i need to look at/for ohh and if i start the server manualy it runs just fine [20:25] I get: http://dpaste.com/147094/ when trying to full-upgrade with aptitude, how can I just sort it out without 100 diffrent questions? [20:25] I restarted with an USB-stick with Hardy - that's running now on that system - and I anmonow on my karmic system. Both system are on a KVM so switching is only 2 clicks away. [20:25] fanno, is the script a link in your runlevel, or is it the actual script file? [20:25] Mr_Giraffe, yes, AWN are the ones that push windows away from them, you should as well make your sidebar push a maximized window away and not allow it to get underneath or above it [20:25] jhana: When i run Recover disk XP, it just shows C partition and Windows Recovery partition doesnt show Ubunu SO I am afraid WIl it ruin Ubuntu if run [20:25] jhana how do i check that ? [20:25] Hey. what was that ubuntu version optimized for virtual machines called? [20:25] Really slim CLI.. [20:26] fanno, ls -l in a terminal window [20:26] mkanyicy, what I'm trying to do is set this up so maximized windows don't overlap with conky. do you know of any way to do that in compiz, metacity, or really anything at all? [20:26] idea, does it show a unknown partition? [20:26] Boobek, I don't have "project" per se, what I want to use bzr for is to track changes to text files here and there,...you know, like config files etc...is bazaar good for this ? [20:26] No [20:26] joep, are you on fedora now? [20:26] C H I [20:26] joep, how many hard drives are you having? [20:26] mkanyicy: its public wifi [20:26] hi guys [20:26] is there monitor refresh setting other beside xconf? [20:27] I think I it refers unknown [20:27] jhana: http://pastebin.com/m11f35574 [20:27] How do I reinstall the open drivers? i think something is corrupted in them? [20:27] mkanyicy: no auth needed [20:27] mkanyicy, I have the hard disk now on my USB-stick ubuntu visible in Gparted. I can mount the partitions so I presume the disk is OK. [20:27] Yarcanox: you added your user to smtp_sasl_password_maps ? [20:27] this thing is godly!...it reminds me of numb3rs XD [20:27] llutz: hum no? I assumed it would use normal unix system users? [20:27] Supersonic, im not sure about the dhcp and wifi, can you make a dry run buy using a static IP? [20:27] also your link doesn't mention that or I must have missed it [20:27] how do i evoke the firefox profile manager [20:28] Is there an apt-get command to install the TIFF libraries? [20:28] mkanyicy, I have on that system 2 IDE-drives and one serial (in total 3). [20:28] mkanyicy: I don't think so, not on this network [20:28] i have a question: when i do a 'make' can i make it into a package so i can install them later on the same machine, so that i dont have to recompile everytime i do new ubuntu installation [20:29] fanno, when you start apache, do you use /etc/init.d/apache2 start or another command? [20:29] will 'make' turn into program? [20:29] for reference: found it, it's called JeOS [20:29] phong_: you can use "sudo checkinstall" instead of "sudo make install" *but* be aware it wont be a perfectly clean deb and so will have a chance of not working elsewhere [20:29] How do I reinstall the open drivers? i think something is corrupted in them? seriously need some help here [20:29] jhana: i use sudo apache2ctl graceful [20:29] joep, I am confused, i dont I don't know where does the USB stick ubuntu fits in in the whole picture, and how your 3 hard drives are being used. [20:29] !info checkinstall > phong_ [20:29] maci, i would only install on same machine [20:29] phong_: alternative is to file a bug asking that the software you want be packaged for ubuntu so you can just apt-get it later [20:30] mkanyicy, For your information: I did a cmp between the /sbin/init on my USB-stick and the init in the mounted partition. Actually linux makes a mess of naming disks. [20:30] is there a command i can use to delete all files matching "name" recursively? [20:30] joep, use UUID [20:30] try the /etc/init.d/apache2 start and see if it errors (or try /etc/init.d/apache2 restart if apache is already up) as that is the exact line that init will attempt [20:30] joep, use UUID's [20:30] phong_: but if you dont have the same stuff you built it against intalled, like if you were installing the deb later after a reinstall, it could be a problem, so just be careful [20:30] mkanyicy, I'm sorry that I'm not clear. I give my configuration [20:30] i see [20:30] is there any way I can configure the wallpaper to be cloned between the two monitors instead of stretching? [20:30] llutz: I am not even sure whether postfix is running in a chroot [20:30] does it do that per default? [20:31] ?Samba issue - i just completed applying some updates - and now I can't login in to my dns-323 fileserver - it rejects the password - it may be sending the incorrect user as I can log in to it from windows [20:31] could somebody be kind to help me how to set hz for each resolution? [20:31] or even better, is there a way I can configure each monitor to have its own background [20:31] joep, which system are you logged into now? [20:31] taofd: find /some/path -name "name" -exec rm {} \; (I suggest replacing rm with echo before you do the command to make sure you get the right files) [20:31] !clone | phong_ [20:31] phong_: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [20:31] Yarcanox: grep ^smtp /etc/postfix/master.cf [20:31] I'm trying to install gtk+ and get an error that says I need the TIFF library.

[20:32] If i run XP reocvery disk wil it damage my Ubuntu partition [20:32] maco, i have not a clue what u're saying , im sorry [20:33] joep, can you pastebin your /boot/grub/menu.lst as well as your /etc/fstab of the ubuntu that cannot boot up? you will need to first mount that partition before accessing those files [20:33] Yarcanox: yes [20:33] A; 2 systems: the corruptes system is an AMD 3000 (1 processor) with 3 internal diskdrives (2 IDE and one serial). Also an external USB hard disk is connected and an USb stick with Ubuntu 8.04 which is the running ubuntu system. [20:33] somebody knows how to speedtest a share? tried 'dd if=/dev/random of=/share/file sb=1M count=1000' but that doesn't seem to work :s [20:33] Yarcanox: smtp inet n - y - - smtpd <- would be chroot [20:33] whats the difference between user and users in fstab? [20:33] idea4gud: it probably won't touch the ubuntu partition but it will likely overwrite the MBR so grub won't run a boot [20:33] phong_: i'm not sure that the deb made by checkinstall will know to tell you "by the way, i depend on x, y, and z, so install those first" so i'm suggesting that you use what ubottu just told you if you do a reinstall, that way you at least know the dependencies are there === hhlp_ is now known as hhlp [20:34] Guys? -_- [20:34] phong_: besides, the cloning thing ubottu just told you about is all around *useful* when reinstalling :P [20:34] llutz: I have both in no chroot now. also, smtpd.conf is in place and contains "plain login" settings. main.cf has the sasl activation lines [20:34] and gals? [20:34] meganerd: So after this CAn i run Ubuntu live CD and get grub back [20:34] llutz: now smtp login will take ages (= many minutes of hanging) and then abort due to timeout (thunderbird 3) [20:34] idea4gud: absolutely [20:34] How do I reinstall the open drivers? i think something is corrupted in them? seriously need some help here [20:35] joep, you are not answering any of my questions, so we will never understand each other, sir [20:35] ugh flash isnt working for me [20:35] jk [20:35] all websites i go to tell me my flash is not installed, but it is :/ [20:35] akaniyci My second system is an AMD PHENOM II (4-core) which I am using right now. Both are on a KVM and switching between is very simple. [20:35] taofd, how did you install flash? [20:35] somebody ? :) [20:35] apt-get install flashplugin-installer [20:36] joep, oh you are using another machine? [20:36] thunda, its being weird :/ [20:36] I configured my server to forward from eth1 and wlan0 to eth0 so that I could use it as a router kinda. ICS in other words. That works great. However now another problem arose because of it. I cannot connect to my mailserver anymore with like mozilla firebird or squirrelmail. What can be the cause for this? [20:36] Darkedge: Are you trying to upgrade to lucid? [20:36] meganerd: One more thing , Recovery Disk(RD) : Just shows one main partition C drive (So running RD wil erase from other logical Partitions like D, E and ofr tht matter Ubuntu partitioin)) [20:36] mkanyicy, Yes. Sorry I'm typing somewhat slowly. [20:36] postfix authentication with SASL just takes ages and then times out (previously with misconfigured/not running sasl it rejected login or said it wouldn't be capable of SASL authentication) - how would I find out why it does do that? [20:36] (sasl login with normal unix user accounts over pam) [20:37] I have looked ad my grub menu.lst and the fstab (of the corrupted system) and I don't see any abnormals. [20:37] idea4gud: oh are you using the vendor recovery CD? That will blow away everything [20:37] joep, are there linux operating systems that you can boot on that other machine with dead ubuntu? [20:37] mkanyicy, You saw my answes? [20:37] meganerd: it just shows 3 paritions C H(One dell provides for SYstem) and I(prob Ubuntu) [20:37] How do I reinstall the open drivers? i think something is corrupted in them? seriously need some help here [20:37] joep, yes I saw your answers [20:38] CAPcap: what drivers, can you be more specific [20:38] meganerd: Yes actually dell gave me XP CD with my laptop [20:38] how do i manually force a purge of all flash files, and force reinstallf lash? [20:38] YEs. I've done that with an old fedora. That starts OK but is of course not really useable anymore. [20:38] joep, what do you mean that it is not really useable anymore? [20:39] CAN ANYBODY READ ME yet? [20:39] idea4gud: If it is a Microsoft CD you might be OK, if it is a Dell recovery CD it might wipe everything [20:39] !caps | isaac_ [20:39] isaac_: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [20:39] meganerd: no idea >_< im having problems with programs trying tp use opengl i get 'segmentation fault' my graphics card is and ATI mobility radeon 9000 [20:39] taofd, you could try removing it in the synaptic package manager and then reinstalling it. [20:40] thunda, yeah tried that too... :( [20:40] Yarcanox: sry think i cannot really help you. i had to setup 2 postfix last week after being 10 yrs out of mta-business. i configured sasl trhough dovecot, that was simple. [20:40] Darkedge: If you're running Lucid or trying to upgrade to it then you should be asking in #ubuntu+1. If you're not, then you're sources.list is very messed up because those are lucid versions that I see in that error log. [20:40] okay, is there good site with xconf files with 1024x768 refresh rate? [20:40] at 120hhz [20:40] llutz: everyone tells me that, but installing dovecot will most likely kill my solidpop3d off [20:40] anyone know how to list last updates applied? [20:40] taofd, apt-get remove? [20:41] isaac_: use xrandr, the xorg.conf is not really used [20:41] meganerd: Its XP reinstallation Dvd. So the main partition C wil be erased . Wil it erase other logical partitions like D and E [20:41] Yarcanox: indeed [20:41] Arghhhhh! [20:41] joep, what I am suspecting is a problem is that the order of your disks has changed and if menu.lst of grub or fstab does not use UUIDs then it would mount wrong partitions and you would get a kernel panic [20:41] whats the difference between user and users in fstab? [20:41] mkanyicy, NO I mean it is so outdated and I have made so many changes that most of the programs are not of any use to me. But it runs. I can run firefox, evolution, etc. [20:41] hello. how can i install gtkbuilder? i have ubuntu 9.10 [20:41] I have a realtek high definition audio sound card, and ubuntu only wants to play through my laptops built-in speakers. I had the same problem with slackware. [20:41] meganerd, thanks about time i find it [20:41] idea4gud: I don't know for sure. I have seen such a variety of those restore disks that I can't say for sure [20:41] joep, it's fine boot fedora, we will use terminal [20:42] meganerd: this is just XP reinstallation DVD [20:42] idea4gud: you mean CD [20:42] Does anyone know what needs to be adjusted so that vlc will prevent the screen saver from coming on? [20:42] yes [20:42] okay i gave up on flash, just manually downloaded the tar.gz and installed it myself :/ pff [20:43] joep, after booting fedora, open terminal and then type "sudo fdisk -l" and paste everything at http://paste.ubuntu.com [20:43] taofd, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [20:43] so I was installing blender and it failed... I now have two packages (blender and python2.4-minimal) in "very bad state". On purge attempt, both throw errors "subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1" and "subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1". Is there a way to clean up this dpkg issue? [20:43] idea4gud: in that case you can shoose which partition it will use, but it will overwrite the MBR, requiring you to fix grub after the install [20:43] Thunder_Drop - afaik you need to change the powermanagement preferences [20:43] mkanyicy, Tat is a very sound thought. My fstab is build with UUIDs but grub not as - as far as I know - grub has his own assignation of disks using hd0 as the first physical disk, hd1 as the second, etc. It is the order in which the BIOS sees the disks, not the boot order. [20:43] meganerd: I am afraid about my other logical drives [20:43] meganerd, where do you edit xrandr? [20:44] I have a realtek high definition audio sound card, and ubuntu only wants to play through my laptops built-in speakers. I had the same problem with slackware. lspci says: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller [20:44] I have a strange problem. apache won't start when my webserver starts. there are no error in apache log or in system log .. and apache is located in the runlevel folder ... anyone have any idea what i need to look at/for ohh and if i start the server manualy it runs just fine =( really strange to me [20:44] isaac_: xrandr is a command, there are gui front ends such as grandr [20:44] psyk, thanks i got it working though :) the install script wasn't working... it may be because i have ubuntuzilla installed though [20:44] how do i allow a normal user to mount a drive BUT ONLY that single user and not any user?? [20:44] isaac_: the wiki is here: http://www.x.org/wiki/Projects/XRandR [20:44] taofd, most likely. [20:44] mkanyicy, also it starts numbering partition with 0 so the first partition on the first physical disk is hd0,0. [20:45] There is no setting in the power management settings that allows full screen aplications to interupt the timer for screen saver and or other power management settings [20:45] meganerd: can u help me out? i told you what my problems are and what im running... ATI mobility radeon 9000. Programs that require OpenGl (i think) crash out before even really loading anything and I get 'Segmentation fault'. I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 [20:45] idea4gud: it is doable but there is potential to lose everything. This is one of the reasons I no longer dual boot [20:46] psyk, its not hard though, just gotta drop it in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins :D [20:46] mkanyicy, remember, Hardy has grub 1 Karmic (9.10) uses grub2. I also thought that grub is corrupted but I don't know - yet - how to solve it. [20:46] joep, i know, i have 2 hard drives and their order change once in a while sda becomes sdb and sdb becomes sda and grub becomes confused [20:46] taofd, true, but the problem I'm having now is a lot deeper than that D: [20:46] hello. how can i install gtkbuilder? i have ubuntu 9.10 [20:46] Thunde_Drop - You don't have a "Display" section? it applies to all power management events [20:46] taofd, the ubuntu devs never fixed the problem with intel sound chips [20:46] joep, i know, i am using grub2 on karmic right now [20:46] CAPcap: it has been since I have used old ATI gear and the 3d drivers (I have one machine that I use the 2d only drivers) [20:46] taofd, the problem has existed since 7.10... [20:47] where do I go to modify the network connections? [20:47] joep, i have little info about grub2 since it's rather new [20:47] ... /etc/network/interfaces doesn't seem to be used [20:47] CAPcap: under System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers, do you have the ati or fglrx drivers installed? [20:47] how to find out why ubuntu freezes after running rtorrent? [20:47] joep, so have fedora finished to boot? [20:47] psyk, :( [20:47] Thunder_Drop - you have to move the "put display to sleep to >> Never" [20:48] meero: strace rtorrent [20:48] mtb-cliff: yes I do have that section but it seems strange to have to adjust the timer for when you watch a movie as say I want the display to go to sleep in 1 hour, watching a movie longer than 1 hour does not prevent it from going to sleep [20:48] hi [20:48] meganerd i opened that up it says no proprietary drivers are in use on this system [20:48] meganerd: strace is some kind of tracking app? [20:49] Thunder_Drop - agreed, unfortunately that is what I have to do. I don't know if there is another solution. [20:49] CAPcap: then you will need to install the fglrx drivers to get 3d (open gl) apps to work [20:49] how come /etc/init.d/networking stop and start are not doing anything anymore? [20:49] mkanyicy, How do you change the order? There is a difference with the hardware order the BIOS sees (and grub) and the order linux sees the disks. I have never understood why they changed the ide identification (with hdzx) and made it all in sdzx. I don;t know how the kernel determines the order of the disks. That may be the problem. [20:49] meganerd: how do i do that? Ive been asking that all day and no one will answer [20:49] meero: debugging, you might get some useful information before it freezes [20:50] mkanyicy, Yes, fedora finihed booting and I could use firefox and Evolution (which I don't use anymore. I use Thunderbird). [20:50] CAPcap: sudo aptitude install xorg-driver-fglrx fglrx-amdcccle [20:50] Suggest me a basic/smaller image editor for one touch jobs like resize, crop, convert to b/w, paste from clipboard etc. [20:50] meganerd: i was thinking about to review some logs, but not sure which, maybe is problem with ext4? [20:50] joep, i am using the word 'order' informally here maybe I should rather use 'sequence' instead?? UUID has nothing to do with BIOS [20:50] fakeer: I use gimp for that [20:50] fakeer: GIMP is default installed, why not just use that? [20:51] joep, can you open terminal then? [20:51] mtb-cliff: seems there is a bug report on that very issue but no fixes have been commited yet [20:51] meero: /var/log/syslog and /var/log/messages [20:51] meganerd: yeah. but gimp is very complex and big for that.. i need sth where i don;'t have to export after every resize.... i use gimp for heavy editing [20:51] Thunder_Drop - thz [20:51] thx [20:52] gadget3000: ye right..but plz read above [20:52] fakeer: export? I open an image, edit then save [20:52] mkanyicy, No. I don't run fedora there anymore but Hardy started from my USb-stick. Of course I can open a terminal thgere (it is open). [20:53] meganerd, okay if you want to add mode 1024x768 at 120hz what would your command look like? [20:53] isaac_: I don't usually bother with the refresh values [20:53] does anyone know if a hardware raid array must have identical har disks? [20:53] hey everyone for some reason .ics files are not associated with anything in Ubuntu. Does anyone know how I would get it so that evolution automatically opens ics files and adds them to my calendar? [20:53] i mena if a disk fails aftr years and is not on the market no more what will i do? [20:54] joep, it's the same machine with 'deadbuntu' [20:54] dnajovo: no, but you will be limited by the size of the smallest disk [20:54] so, I tried installing ssh, but the computer crashes with the 9.12 fglrx driver [20:54] joep, it's the same machine with 'deadbuntu' right? [20:54] meganerd, 60hz looks like shit.. thats why, i need 120hz at 1024x768 [20:54] so I can't login remote [20:54] mkanyicy, Yes. [20:54] meganerd: basicly what it does, id doesnt freeze system as whole, im connecting with ssh.... after "something" , shell freezes, and when im trying to reconnect, it displays only autenticating (key file), and nothig else happens === Dkennedy1 is now known as Dkennedy [20:54] but i won't have problems if i can get same capacity disks and same rpm? [20:54] !language | isaac_ [20:54] isaac_: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [20:54] joep, pastebin 'sudo fdisk -l' [20:54] meganerd, i don't want 85, 75, or less hz... I wwant 120hz at 1024x768 [20:54] also do you know if i can connect a sas disk to a sata 2 controlles? [20:55] cntroller i meant! [20:55] meganerd: when i resize it. then after i try to save it, it asks me to export. but either way i want a less complex solution for small edits [20:55] *shouts* would anybody just help me to get 120hz to work at 1024x768 :( :( [20:55] I'll try that. Burt for some reason this (karmic) system refuses to accept ssh from that system. [20:55] isaac_: I think the command is --refresh after the --output part [20:55] Of course I can work from that system. One moment.. [20:56] isaac_: all of my displays are LCD here, so there is no point in me setting the refresh rate [20:56] hi everyone [20:56] isaac_: in other words, I have nothing to test with [20:56] meganerd, i am trying to get my 3d thing to run at 120hz not 60hz [20:56] meganerd, the reason why i'm still on CRT [20:57] meganerd, and my crt still support up to 170hz [20:57] meganerd still nothing runs [20:57] Until recently my boot drive and DVD drive were on the same IDE cable. I upgraded my dvd drive to SATA, making the boot drive the only IDE drive I have. But ubuntu won't boot up.. I dont get to grub [20:57] llutz: I checked the syslog and it disliked some config option [20:57] CAPcap: glxinfo [20:57] llutz: which means it works now :) without dovecot [20:57] thanks for helping! [20:58] I am still relatively new to ubuntu... do I have to repair the loader? [20:58] does anyone know how to install themes on ubuntu 9.10 [20:58] Yarcanox: it has to work without, just is easier with :) [20:58] mkanyicy, I first have toi download an IRC client as that is not available in Hardy!! [20:58] joep, ok [20:59] Adil, if the grub isn't start it means your pc is not booting from the disk. Have you tried to check your bios if the disk is selected as a boot device? [20:59] timothy, the drive is detected and is selected as the boot drive [20:59] hello all [21:00] rasmus_: you changed themes in prior versions? It's still in system > pref > appearance [21:00] hi [21:00] mkanyicy: I'm now working from the "corrupted" system. I've seldom used patebin. How does it work?? [21:00] yes, but new themes doesn't work [21:01] I configured my server to forward from eth1 and wlan0 to eth0 so that I could use it as a router kinda. ICS in other words. That works great. However now another problem arose because of it. I cannot connect to my mailserver anymore with like mozilla firebird or squirrelmail. What can be the cause for this? [21:01] meganerd: http://pastebin.com/m11b9f932 [21:01] timothy I think you're right.. it might be the boot order. I was too tired last night and might have made a mistake. Will check when I go home. Thanks [21:01] rasmus_: maybe you mean gdm theme? That's the "login" theme [21:01] mkanyicy: can you see me? [21:01] hey no prob [21:01] Hello [21:01] joep__: we can [21:01] joep__, the easy way just copy everything and paste it at http://paste.ubuntu.com [21:02] adil also check your master slave configuration on your ide disk [21:02] automatic settings do tend the frack things up [21:02] thanks timothy [21:02] o [21:02] hope it helps! [21:02] yes i do [21:02] i hope so too! [21:02] Joke. Your answers are comin on this system and not on the other!! I have to switch constantly. [21:02] CAPcap: that is way less output than I would expect. IS the module loaded? "lsmod |grep fglrx" [21:02] see you guys later [21:02] hello, in some folders, i can't do 'cat *', how can i correct that? "cat: invalid option -- 'N' Try `cat --help' for more information." [21:03] rasmus_: there's difference in gdm theme (login screen) and your gtk+ themes [21:03] ok [21:03] joep__, the fancy way is to install 'pastebinit' and then just type 'sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit' [21:03] but is it possible to change the login theme? [21:03] babalu: "cat -- *" [21:03] meganerd: I put in lsmod |grep fglrx but it doesnt have any output, should it have? [21:04] mkanyicy: That's nice !! I'll try that. [21:04] y [21:04] CAPcap: try "sudo modprobe fglrx" [21:04] llutz: oh nice, why is it working? [21:04] joep__, did you pastebin the output of that command yet? [21:04] babalu: "--" means: no more options are following [21:05] sudo modprobe fglrx [21:05] oops [21:05] FATAL: Error inserting fglrx (/lib/modules/2.6.31-17-generic/updates/dkms/fglrx.ko): Cannot allocate memory [21:05] I have a strange problem. apache won't start when my webserver starts. there are no error in apache log or in system log .. and apache is located in the runlevel folder ... anyone have any idea what i need to look at/for ohh and if i start the server manualy it runs just fine =( anyone ? apacke is located in rc0-6 so i dont understand this [21:06] llutz: ok thanks i understand better [21:06] *apache [21:06] babalu: in your example, you have a file called "-Nsomthing", cat * will be expanded to "cat -Nsomthing" and -N is no cat option [21:06] mkanyicy: OK. It is in pastebin under joep. [21:07] meganerd: http://pastebin.com/d1ce93768 [21:07] hi my mp3 does not work correctly after a period of time i need to reboot, what can i do without rebooting? what can i reload.where's the problem? hi llutz [21:07] babalu: to precent that, use -- [21:07] prevent [21:07] mkanyicy: The problematic disk is /dev/sdc [21:07] llutz: yes thanks i got it :) [21:07] hello. when i run apt-get update, i get W: Failed to fetch http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/intrepid-security/main/source/Sources.bz2 Hash Sum mismatch [21:07] CAPcap: ya I saw that, that is a new error to me. You may wish to try rebooting. [21:07] any ideas how to fix this [21:07] joep__, but where is the pastebin link? [21:08] CAPcap: I am not really confidant that it will solve anything [21:08] joep__, do you know which partition to mount ? [21:09] joep__, can you please paste the output of "sudo fdisk -l" at http://paste.ubuntu.com [21:09] Trying to install ubuntu server. Installing grub fails, what would be smart to do? [21:09] mkanyicy, What do you mean?? I pasted the text in pastebin and said send. Yes I can mount partition sdc5. [21:09] CAPcap: do you have a program called aticonfig installed? [21:09] hi my mp3 does not work correctly after a period of time i need to reboot, what can i do without rebooting? what can i reload.where's the problem? hi llutz [21:10] joep, you were supposed to paste HERE the link that shows up [21:10] hey does anybody knows how can I install OpenGL in ubuntu? [21:10] i dont know, how do i check? [21:10] mkanyicy: Yes I did. I have a page of pastebin with a header saying" Posted by joep on Mon 18 Jan 21:06 [21:10] On my 9.10 laptop with Intel 82801I (ICH9) HDA card I want to hear a 24 bit PCM audio track on a DVD using xine, what do I have to configure for the DVD drive, sound card, alsa, pulseaduio, ... xine in order to hear it? [21:10] joep__: paste the url in the addressbar [21:10] now then [21:11] Playing the track currently plays the music with a nasty loud hiss [21:11] joep, copy the link at the address bar on that window and paste it HERE [21:11] any web designers in here able to suggest best software for designing websites ie inkscape or something [21:11] Chilaquiles: check out 'Mesa' --> apt-cache search Mesa [21:11] oCean_: The URL is http://pastebin.com/m8a34707 [21:12] joep__: that's what we need :) [21:12] uh somebody would help me how to figure how to FORCE 1024x768 to 120hz on my CRT monitor? I am trying all day on it [21:12] anyone using Banshee on 9.10? [21:12] oCean_: OK. I'm curious what you can do with it as for me it looks rather normal. [21:13] I have mounted my boot partition, but don't have write access, how can I mount the partition so that I can write to it? [21:13] isaac_: You can limit the horizontal and vertical refresh rates for your monitor in xorg.conf [21:13] meganerd: i typed aticonfig into the terminal and got this: aticonfig: No supported adapters detected [21:13] joep__, without the URL i would have never saw that page [21:13] joep__: I did not catch your initial question, just saw conv with mkanyicy, just explaining the pastebin thing. [21:13] SealedWithAKiss- what are you doing with your boot partition? browsing it in a terminal? [21:14] isaac_: Does the "Display" GUI not offer you any frequency choices? [21:14] gkahla, I'm browsing using the GUI now. I was using the terminal. [21:14] AJ_Z0, thats exactly what i'm saying [21:14] joep__, are you sure it's sdc5? [21:14] SealedWithAKiss- are you wanting to edit the grub.conf file, or something more drastic? [21:15] AJC_Z0, do you have any answer? [21:15] My initial question was a problem with my hardy system that apparently due to some mysterious event suddenly will not start with the regular Ubuntu system but comes in a panic after attaining /sbin/init. [21:15] if you want to be one of the most [21:15] strongest brute with a bear or wolf [21:15] and high stats.. [21:15] already at lvl 5-10 [21:15] just go to this site and make a brute?

[21:15] http://chucknorrrris.mybrute.com [21:15] heychuck: stop that [21:15] joep__, then type this "mkdir ~/sdc5 && mount /dev/sdc5 ~/sdc5" and then paste the output of this command "df -h" and that of "ls -lh ~/sdc5" [21:16] gkahla, I'm not going to touch grub.cfg. I would explain exactly what I'm doing, however you'd need a couple of hours spare. [21:16] how can I get free -b to show % instead of just absolute values? [21:16] joep__, we are going at a rather very slow pace, can we buckle up a bit? [21:17] joep__, then type this "mkdir ~/sdc5 && mount /dev/sdc5 ~/sdc5" and then paste the output of this command "df -h" and that of "ls -lh ~/sdc5" [21:17] SealedWithAKiss- if you can get to a terminal, just 'sudo -i' and you're on with full admin privs until you type 'exit'... [21:18] gkahla, is there a way to do this via the GUI? [21:18] SealedWithAKiss- all the normal warnings apply; you can set your system on FIRE using commands as the admin user / you could potentially upset the orbit of the earth / etc, etc... [21:19] hi - i've been trying to get OpenArena working on my ubuntu 9.10 64 bit install but it is unreliable - hangs when I try and quit. what can I do to discover what the problem is? [21:19] AJ_Z0, do you have any solve to my problem? [21:19] gkahla, are you serious? You mentioned fire? [21:20] gkahla, this sytem is in a state already. [21:20] where is the thunderbird exe supposed to be? I built from source and i would like to know where to put the ln.... [21:20] is there any way to fully install ubuntu over the top of whats there (complete reinstall, format, destroy current installation) from inside ubuntu, or do i have to use my CD? [21:20] Has anyone used ubuntu on Acer Aspire 7738G (a laptop)? Good or bad idea? [21:20] isaac_: I already gave you an answer. See above [21:20] SealedWithAKiss- surely, just 'sudo nautilus' and remember to close the browser when you're done... [21:20] CAPcap: probably safest and easiest from CD [21:20] isaac_: Please don't confuse me with that jerk AJ_Z0 [21:20] joep__, ??

I open up titanium backup, go to backup/restore, and click on an app that has been uninstalled and needs restoring, click "app+data" and I get restoring app+data: "[not installed] ".

[23:30] Syed: you could install windows in a virtual box [23:30] Syed, use VirtualBox :3 [23:31] what dus that do [23:31] xnox: i think i know what happened. when dash is installed and sets itself as sh it has to replace the sh link set up by bash when doing this it does what many other packges do. append distrib to the name of the file they are replacing so no info is lost [23:31] Syed, VirtualBox emulates a x86-compatible PC, so you can install operating systems on it and run them while on Linux [23:32] or while on whatever OS is supported by it [23:32] You don't need that™ [23:32] oh,well isnt there a way i can just exacute .exe files? [23:32] you can, with Wine [23:32] hmm [23:32] alright [23:32] ill install win [23:32] but most programs won't run out-of-the-box, or some won't even work [23:32] ight i did [23:33] it depends on what you're trying to run, and how hard it is attached to windows :p [23:33] now what do i need to do [23:33] to exacute .exe files [23:33] Syed, what is it you are trying to run ? [23:33] Syed: one of the reasons people use linux is to get away from windows applications [23:33] You don't need that™ [23:33] !wine | Syed [23:33] if you find portable apps for usb drives, they work great under win [23:33] Syed: 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 [23:33] wine [23:33] Syed, open a command-line and do "sudo apt-get install wine" [23:33] i installed it [23:34] and it still doesn't open? [23:34] when you double-click? [23:34] syed, there are websites with portable apps that run great under wine [23:34] if then, right-click and select "Open As..." (or a similar option) === root is now known as Guest34164 [23:34] gwildo: i now, i wanted a something new so i just switched to ubuntu [23:34] jiohdi: rilly like what? [23:34] Syed: what application is it? [23:35] portableapps.com [23:35] syed, loads of things... file managers, web browsers like Opera and imageviewers like ifranview etc [23:35] "All" about resolution: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [23:35] umm [23:35] well like any [23:35] Syed, yes, but almost every app that runs in windows...linux has a program that will do the same thing, you shouldnt need .exe. [23:35] i wanted to install a game [23:35] like govanor of pocker [23:35] but portableapps.com is for windows apps, mostly, right [23:35] but i couldnt. [23:35] Syed: i suggest you use windows then. if you want a bunch of windows applications why are you using linux? [23:35] there are even ways of converting exe to portable apps [23:35] Syed: check winehq for game compatability [23:35] oo [23:35] linkz0r: they work great under wine [23:36] blakkhek [23:36] i mean ok. === john is now known as Guest28292 [23:36] ty for your help guys [23:36] heh but most of those software are free software [23:37] linkz0r: you can actually get a program that converts normal win apps to portable and then they will work better under wine [23:37] smh [23:37] gnite peeps :) [23:37] just because they don't use the registry anymore [23:37] jiohdi: thats pretty sweet dude [23:37] :3 [23:37] can anyone here give me a bit help to install ati drivers? [23:37] jiohdi, yea [23:37] www.portableapps.com/node/9909 [23:38] xnox usermod -s /path/to/shell username [23:38] whats a good way to check free disk space in gb from the command line? [23:38] jiohdi, i have tons of apps that i got from portableapps.com [23:38] NotTooSmart: df -h [23:38] blakkheim, thanks [23:38] linkz I find that most work very well under wine [23:39] are any of you guys in the Linux classroom [23:39] linux classroom?

[23:40] hi, anyone knows a good program to record what's playing on the computer (playback record)? [23:40] Dishcandanty: did you use wubi by chance? [23:40] nope [23:41] can anyone here give me a bit help to install ati drivers? [23:41] Dishcandanty, i get a long time to get to the GRUB boot up options [23:41] !ati | buja [23:41] but Ubuntu loads up very fast [23:41] buja: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [23:41] Dishcandanty: well ubuntu isn't exactly the slimmest, fastest distro around. you should disable some unneeded services and things at startup [23:41] i copying a drive by MBR, Partition table, and Partition better than copying the whole drive ( due to space ) [23:42] are we doing the bug project tonight or tomorrow? [23:42] what program can i use to watch a dvd movie ? [23:42] pIsIq: mplayer [23:42] or vnc [23:42] it sais i cant [23:43] ubottu: gotta check out that link, thanks [23:43] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:43] pIsIq: any provided you have install libdvdcss2 from medibuntu repo [23:43] pIsIq, did you install restricted formats [23:43] every time i do an update i noticed that it says update successful. is there any way to change it to say FUCK YEAH UPDATE SUCCESSFUL [23:43] yes [23:43] ysmn2: lol [23:43] blakkheim: Probably should be more clear, the slowness, seems to be specifically with Grub, the ubuntu portion is tolerable [23:43] ysmn2, lol [23:43] ysmn2: you can recompile the app to change the message text [23:43] seriously [23:44] ysmn2: the joy of Open Source [23:44] pIsIq: you need libdvdcss2 installed and then any app can read commercial DVDs [23:44] ysmn2: sure, just find the file with the message in, change it, then compile [23:44] so how do i install that? [23:45] the question is where to start [23:45] who can i talk to about getting admin privledges on the forum? === goose is now known as AFKgoose [23:45] is it possible to use a Radeon 4670 with full 3D support so I can play my games like Half-Life2, etc? [23:46] ysmn2: get the source code [23:46] Name141: yes. install the fglrx driver === aperson is now known as APERSON [23:46] onetinsoldier: And I assume if I make the switch over to linux, I would be able to run Steam fairly well ? [23:46] Name141: Steam? i don't know [23:46] no steam [23:46] Name141: sure, the ati proprietary driver supports your card [23:47] ActionParsnip__, some one should make a swearing ubuntu distro [23:47] ActionParsnip__: I thought it only had 2D support? [23:47] the original Half-Life sure as heck ran on linux though [23:47] i can confirm that saw it way back in 2002 at a lug meet at exeter uni [23:47] Name141: no, the full proprietary driver will give you 3D. Try running: gksudo jockey-gtk [23:47] worked great [23:47] or seemed to [23:47] ysmn2: make it if you want dude, it is that flexible [23:48] ActionParsnip__: Slow down there buddy.. I'm still in XP. Would I have support in Hardy? [23:48] i will try [23:48] Name141: if not head over to www.ati.com and download the driver there [23:48] I have just wiped my computer and installed ubuntu 9.10 on it. When it rebooted i froze somewhere in the boot sequence. Could it be because the filesystem is ext4 for which i ned grub2 but i have grub 1.97? [23:48] Name141: sure, hardy is still a supported release [23:48] Name141: theres also this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuMagazine/HowTo/InstallingSteam [23:48] if its a clean install i would have thought it would auto install the right version of grub [23:49] kasper: grub2 is 1.92~beta4 or something in Ubuntu Karmic [23:49] ActionParsnip__: I still say hardy, besides the new bells and whistles is the best install. [23:49] but.. that's just me [23:49] zleap: there is no right version, you can use grub legacy or grub2 as you wish [23:49] kasper: grub2 is 1.97~beta4 or something in Ubuntu Karmic [23:49] Name141: i don't mind any, they all work the same for me [23:49] onetinsoldier: Okay. So thats not the problem.

For some reason whenever I go to webcal:// links or try to open .ics files they are not associated with Evolution. I have tried manually pointing to Evolution and /usr/share/applications/evolution-webcal but it doesn't seem to make a difference. Does anyone know what could be causing this?

[23:55] Dishcandanty: switch to irssi [23:55] btw, i am running 'hal' and 'dbus' [23:55] Dishcandanty: or ask in #pidgin [23:55] Dishcandanty: there's a plugin that does it, but i don't know it. You'd be better off asking in #pidgin [23:56] Dishcandanty: there is one by default, Tools/Plugins/Joins Parts [23:56] can anyone tell me how to run garena in ubuntu 9.10? [23:56] thanks [23:56] onetinsoldier: the wiki for the 'fglrx' says "Wine gaming support through fglrx is possible for old games only.[8] Accelerated desktop effects are only partly supported and lack features such as alpha blur. [9]" [23:57] wikipedia that is [23:57] Name141: roger. you'd need VMware or something like that i imagine [23:58] hey, in the ubuntu installer, where it configures apt at the end, if I skip it at the installation time, how can i configure it post-installation [23:58] ingerashu wine reports no > http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=14147 [23:58] TheMozart: no idea - i use google chrome now as my main browser. been months since ive even tried opers [23:58] can a bootable USB be fat32?
