[00:00] Shirack have you try to install compiz-fusion [00:00] ? [00:00] Shirack: do this [00:00] mariachi: sorry will do [00:00] hint to UNR users: the normal gnome "show desktop" icon switches to the launcher MUCH MUCH faster then the UNR "go home applet" [00:00] Shirack: sudo apt-get update [00:00] (so does the old version of the go home applet, no idea why the new one takes so long) [00:00] mariachi: did earlier [00:00] Shirack: then this sudo apt-get upgrade [00:00] mariaci: didnt do second one [00:01] also, deleting and recreating the panel from scratch seems to be the only way to get rid of that white dot. could not find out what it was [00:01] Shirack: hehe, then what you have done is just list the updates, not actualy download and install them :D [00:01] Shirack: sudo apt-get update just lists === matu is now known as Guest43255 [00:02] Shirack: whilst sudo apt-get upgrade, downloads and installs [00:02] does gnome-terminal start the standard shell? f.e. if changed my default shell to fish, would gnome-terminal use fish too? [00:02] mariachi: sorry got wrong way round had done upgrade. Trying it gives me "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded." [00:03] ring0: unless otherwise configured, it should. [00:03] did you update, then upgrade? [00:03] stupid question, but how can i sudo start a gui app from the terminal without locking the terminal? "sudo appname&" doesnt show the gui [00:03] does crontab without the --report option prevent sending of emails from the jobs to the root ? [00:03] how can I share a folder across a vpn? [00:03] Shirack: did you update, then upgrade? [00:03] mariachi:yes [00:03] Ubuntu won't remember my network's password [00:04] my question is " is xsplash a required application for ubuntu gnome" i get a INIT usplash stop displayed in a terminal screen on shut down [00:04] nick125, do i need to reboot, in order to make it work? i used 'chsh -s /usr/bin/fish' to change it, which works fine with tty1-6. [00:04] i am trying to auto delete (not all but first N) email to root sent by processes, any suggestions [00:04] Shirack: try opening update manager, refreshing and seeing if there's any update? [00:04] Topy44: gksu & [00:04] <^kub^> Topy44 does putting a space before the & work? [00:04] mariachi: do you think i am missing software sources under "other software"? [00:04] *caugh* yes... *caugh* [00:04] silly me :) [00:04] ring0: I would try logging out and then logging back in. If that doesn't work, then you could try a reboot. [00:05] Protip guyrp use arch [00:05] Shirack: dont think so [00:05] mariachi: system is up to date [00:05] Shirack: what OS you on? [00:05] everything is ticked in software sources as well [00:05] nick125, thanks, totally forgot about trying to log out :) [00:05] 9.10 [00:05] mAriachi, any suggestion on my lines above ? [00:05] mariachi: thought they had sorted intel issues [00:05] Shirack: what OS are you using? [00:06] mariachi: ubutu 9.10 [00:06] Shirack: are you on a notebook or pc? === root is now known as Guest1527 [00:07] mariachi: aha just checked hardware drivers and seems to be some drivers. Also should sort my wireless problem, which I havnt mentioned yet [00:07] how do i get my webcam to work on ubuntu? [00:07] Shirack: haha, dont know what to say, do I or you rock? === nick is now known as Guest43495 [00:07] !webcam [00:07] Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [00:07] nick: instal cheese [00:07] nick: sudo apt-get install cheese [00:07] mariachi: is it safe to remove drivers? [00:07] i installed cheese [00:08] Shirack: what drivers you want to remove? [00:08] internal speakers wont stop, when i plug in headphones, help? [00:08] i want it to work for this website called stickam.com [00:08] but when i go on it doesnt let me use my webcam [00:08] mariachi: "ati/amd proprietry graphics fglrx" If i remember correctly it will give me the option to re-install the right one? [00:08] Hello. I'm trying to kill pulseaudio. It will not die - when i kill it (using kill, kill -9, or pulseaudio --kill), it just gets started again immediately. I even tried running a killall -9 in an infinite while loop. Any ideas how I can put this thing out of its misery? [00:09] how to remove email reporting for some lines of crontab only ? [00:09] necroforest: purge it, reboot [00:09] mariachi: or do it automatically... [00:09] what about sudo apt-get install python-libmimic? [00:09] mariachi: i might be remembering wrong [00:09] Shirack: dont actually know, you said your graphics card was intel? [00:09] ksnp: Do you know if it's going to stdout or stderr? [00:09] doesnt that help it because i installed it and it didnt do anything [00:10] there is a ubuntu french canal plz? [00:10] mariachi: thought it was. I had problems with 9.04 on the same machine and I seem to remember it being intel [00:10] can anyone help me [00:10] !webcam | Guest43495 [00:10] Guest43495: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [00:10] !ask | oistopthat [00:10] oistopthat: 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. :-) [00:10] Shirack: why would it suggest ati proprietary? hmm, this is something to ponder on, no matter that i have 2 exams in like 7 hours [00:11] !fr | Im666 [00:11] Im666: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [00:11] there is a ubuntu french canal plz? [00:11] nick125, its going to stdout [00:11] ksnp: If it's going to stdout, adding >/dev/null to the end of the command should do it. If it's going to stderr, I believe 2>/dev/null will do it. [00:11] mariachi: thanks for help all the same. I'm sure I will figure it out eventually. It is only missing compiz effects thats annoying. My machine is functional nonetheless [00:11] tks [00:11] its a script file that is in cron.hourly [00:11] Shirack: do you have installed any drivers under Hardware Drivers? if so, they should have like a green bulb left to them [00:11] I accidently pressed some hotkeys, and now I'm having american keyboard setup. In windows it's alt+shift, what's up with ubuntu? [00:11] m0ar: go to preferences>keyboard>layout [00:12] m0ar: you can set everything from there [00:12] ksnp, if you run a script from cron and it writes an error to STDOUT, you get an email with its contents [00:12] nick125, and the crontab includes cron.hourly, i can't redirect 1 and 2 to /dev/null i think since this can't be done in crontab [00:12] is there a way to have compiz remember what i have open and all the windows locations, so it all there automatically when i log back in? [00:12] mAriachi: Well, any idea of what hotkey I was hitting? [00:12] mariachi: yes i just uninstalled "broadcom b43 wireless driver" and am now re-activating to re-install and see if i can get my wireless working. [00:12] ksnp, sure you can redirect within your crontab === wolter is now known as wolter-afk [00:12] nick125, unop, how do i prevent it from sending email ? there should be an option in crontab to stop it ? [00:13] ksnp: not selectively. [00:13] unop, but the crontab only references cron.hourly, not individual scripts within the cron.hourly [00:13] m0ar: nope :( you can set everything, even the shortcut (key-combination) there [00:13] nick125, unop, yes that's what i thought [00:13] ksnp, your_command >/dev/null 2>&1 [00:13] mAriachi: Ah, saw that now. Thank you! [00:13] ksnp, so change the individual files? [00:13] unop, how do i change the individual script files to do that ? [00:13] to prevent them from giving any output ? [00:13] ksnp: You can also do MAILTO="" in each file, I believe. That might work. [00:14] ksnp, wait first, can you show us this line that references cron.hourly [00:14] mariachi: thanks for help. tring a re-boot [00:14] nick125, ok, i'll try that i thought MAILTO was only for crontab, not individual files [00:14] m0ar: anytime dude! glad i could help!, to be of further help, add the Keyboard layout applet on your panel, it's like the windows language bar [00:14] mAriachi: I'd rather die :) [00:14] Shirack: crossed fingers :D [00:14] mAriachi: :D [00:14] ksnp: I'm not sure if the environment from the script is "imported" into crontab. [00:14] m0ar: haha, i meant if you got to change layouts like me [00:15] mAriachi: more like, purge the hotkeys for changing layout to infinity [00:15] m0ar: i'm from macedonia and sometimes i need the macedonian keyboard [00:15] mAriachi: You are so unlucky :c [00:15] m0ar: and it's good to know in which layout im typing [00:15] nick125, it's the otherway around - the environment of cron is inherited by the script [00:15] unop, getting it [00:15] mAriachi: Or well, it's problable my used to the windoose "OHMYGAWD RANDOM MESSAGE"-popups [00:16] m0ar: cause it can happen sometimes like these иф ај тајп енд сетера [00:16] nick125, unop, alternatively is it possible to auto delete first N emails from the root, so I don't have to do it manually all the time ? [00:16] does vmplayer run well in ubuntu? [00:16] mAriachi: ;) [00:16] Wind0pain: try vlc, its good [00:16] ksnp, it might be better to nip the bud with the cron issue, don't you think? [00:17] Wind0pain: sudo apt-get install vlc [00:17] is there a way to have compiz remember what i have open and all the windows locations, so they're all there automatically when i log back in? [00:17] m0ar: dont worry those things dont happen in ubuntu [00:18] mAriachi: i want to convert my physical win 7 machine for use with it though.. will vlc read vmware player machines? [00:18] my question is " is xsplash a required application for ubuntu gnome" i get a INIT usplash stop displayed in a terminal screen on shut down [00:19] Wind0pain: it should, never tried it before though === Wicked- is now known as Wicked [00:19] Wind0pain: i meant, i use vlc all the time, but not with vmware, it should work though [00:19] Any way to get Windows Media Audio 9 to play? [00:19] Some_Person: did you install ubuntu-restricted-extras? === paissad_ is now known as paissad [00:20] mAriachi: Yup [00:20] Some_Person: and it doesn;t work? [00:20] mAriachi: ok thx, i might try that out [00:20] Wind0pain: np dude, anytime [00:21] mAriachi: Nope. Totem still complains that it can't find a decoder for Windows Media Audio 9 [00:21] DRM'd windows media tracks won't play [00:21] has anyone successfully installed the virtual box guest extensions in a Lucid guest on a Karmic host? I'm trying to do some work on Lucid and I'm getting compile errors on the guest extensions [00:21] Some_person: it should work if you installed it [00:21] i thought vlc was just for multimedia [00:21] <^kub^> Wind0pain is referring to the vmware player i believe he wants to play a win7 vm on his linux box [00:21] LogicFan: It's not DRMed as far as I know [00:21] what's the fasted vnc client for ubuntu? [00:21] vlc can play many formats [00:21] ^kub^: that's right [00:22] mAriachi: Well, I'm telling you, it isn't [00:22] unop, ksnp, it might be better to nip the bud with the cron issue, don't you think? [00:22] Wind0pain: ooooh, that is a horse of a different color, but still try it [00:22] unop, can you expand on that ? [00:22] On ubuntu 9.10 I am trying to add an additional kernel parameter (reboot=bios) which file do I need to edit to add this? [00:22] Some_Person, did you try VLC? [00:22] hello all [00:22] Some_Person: yep, try a different player [00:22] LogicFan: VLC does work, but I would prefer to get Totem working [00:22] anyone know where to get the ATI Catalyst 10.1 Beta download?? [00:22] where do i find the kind of wifi device i have in my laptop?? [00:23] mAriachi: ^ [00:23] rohananil: just state your issue [00:23] Some_Person, is it audio or video? [00:23] Some_Person: welp, dont know if totem can handle WMA codecs [00:23] LogicFan: its a WMA forma, cant be anything else than audio :D [00:23] LogicFan: It's a video, but the video already plays. Totem claims that it can't find a Windows Media Audio 9 decoder though, so the audio won't play [00:24] eeeekyellowsnow: lshw -C network might tell [00:24] mAriachi: no issue , thanks :) [00:24] nick125, unop, sorry for delay, i am multiprocessing, but am i am looking for all your suggestions and tyring out too [00:24] !wma [00:24] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [00:24] rohananil: oh, hello then :D [00:24] Can anyone tell me why a file I can physically see and move around under GUI will not show up at all in terminal say if I want to move it to one place or another it just says its non existent [00:24] hello everyone === nick is now known as Guest96505 [00:25] thanks iowan :) [00:25] how do i i get my webcam to work for online web stickam [00:25] cdi: how do you access the file via a terminal?

[00:26] and paste it on pastebing [00:26] I'm not running it I guess I should say in any way* [00:26] yes [00:26] Guest96505: dude repeating the question doesnt help :S [00:27] no like the cam is built into my laptop [00:27] +i [00:27] cdi: you are not typing the filename correctly then [00:27] <^kub^> Wind0pain tbh i run vbox and like it more but thats with a windows host i cant speak for the linux one [00:27] hi [00:27] hello everybody [00:27] its only three letters long. literally. [00:27] im trying to get my cam to work right now and its not [00:27] RiCON:hi, just state your issue [00:27] its built into my laptop [00:28] i am trying to get postfix + dovecot running on ubuntu 9.10 [00:28] Some_Person, do you have the w32codecs pkg installed? [00:28] how do i tell ubuntu that i already have package x installed, even if i compiled it and installed it myself? [00:28] I agree kub === wolter-afk is now known as wolter [00:28] LogicFan: I have w64codecs installed, and it didn't help [00:28] is there any tutorial or something? [00:28] Then your not without anything while you get it configured [00:28] Guest96505: it could be the driver or the buggy software [00:29] buggy software? [00:29] if you can provide the dmesg data [00:29] for example, how do i tell ubuntu that i already have libavcodec-dev installed if i just installed ffmpeg? [00:29] open terminal [00:29] RiCON: try configuring the Synaptic [00:29] ok [00:29] connect the cam and run dmesg > filename [00:29] why can't i see the video driver on my laptop in Hardware Drivers? the window is empty [00:29] the camera is built into my camera [00:29] and paste the file into pastebin [00:29] or into my laptop sorry [00:30] yea thats ok [00:30] ^kub^: i was thinking about using 7 as my host too since i use windows more often. [00:30] are you in a vbox? [00:30] dmesg provides the vendor id and product id [00:30] alright so what do i type into term? [00:30] is there a 64-bit version of 9.10? [00:30] yup [00:30] dmesg [00:30] eeeekyellowsnow: well, you dont need a video drivers if it;s not there [00:30] nm i found it [00:30] alright i typed it lots of stuff came up [00:30] I just restarted my computer, Now I don't get any bottom or top panel, I've tried lots of things, like rm -rf ~/.gconf/apps/panel and i've also tried reinstalling gnome-panel, ALT+F2 doesn't work, I had to get a tty and export DISPLAY to get irssi open, Any ideas? [00:30] <^kub^> Wind0pain thats what i do and vbox is nice coz you can do 3d acceleration [00:30] I think it would be pointless to run it in a box tho . . [00:31] dmesg > new [00:31] DarkEdge: type this in a terminal [00:31] i need help people [00:31] thanks mariachi, but then how do i update a driver if one isn't working properly? [00:31] RiCON: from my understanding using 'check install' instead of 'make install' would do this. [00:31] DarkEdge: gnome-panel [00:31] open new and paste content into dmesg [00:31] you type new after dmesg or do you type dmesg > new? [00:31] darn it, i have to goto sleep now . [00:31] eeeekyellowsnow: what is your issue with the video? [00:31] sorry paste the content into pastebin [00:31] ^kub^: i'll give that a try. [00:31] bastid_raZor: checkinstalled ffmpeg [00:32] mAriachi: WOW! That works, How do I get it to auto-open? [00:32] bastid_raZor: and it included everything already [00:32] i didn't use ubuntu's source, though [00:32] used straight svn [00:32] mAriachi: the file also for some reason shows up as just text I'm not sure why as it's a video file [00:32] DarkEdge: basically, you just make a launcher (shortcut) on the desktop [00:32] nubuntu: With...? [00:32] Wondering, anyone got an idea why karmic in qemu does busy waiting (basically it takes 100% cpu on host, despite no user space programs running inside the VM) [00:33] mAriachi: So I should just be able to restart and it'll all work? [00:33] mAriachi: it isn't the video, it's the wireless, my wifi isn't as fast on ubuntu like it is on windows, only when im at home. [00:33] RiCON: add the executable to /usr/bin to be able to run it .. it that what you're trying to accomplish? [00:33] mAriachi: I mean this in terminal usually it will show up as a file of different color I recently permanently added subtitles to said video I don't know if this is relevant as to why ubuntu seems to see it differently [00:33] somebody speak español? [00:33] How do you write scripts for linux? what are the extensions? [00:33] alright after dmesg > filename what do i type?! [00:33] !es | nubuntu [00:33] nubuntu: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [00:33] DarkEdge: and anytime your panels start to mess with you, you just open a terminal and time killall gnome-panel [00:34] and then double click on the shortcut [00:34] DarkEdge: did you make the shortcut? [00:34] bastid_raZor: no, i'm trying to avoid ubuntu from installing old libs because i already have svn compiled ones [00:34] mAriachi: No... [00:34] mAriachi: I want gnome-panel to open when I login. [00:34] its in a conf file somewhere [00:34] rohan? [00:35] DarkEdge: it will, this is a work-around if it starts to mes with you [00:35] <^kub^> cached its my understanding that you just have to make the file executable with chmod 666, someone here may know better than me :) [00:35] Guest96505: going to sleep , send me on my mail , talk to you later [00:35] eeeekyellowsnow: you are just imagining things, it is the same, it makes no sense to do it like that [00:35] whats your mail? [00:35] alright never mind ii got it [00:35] laterrr brooo [00:35] thaqnks [00:36] thanks* [00:36] mAriachi: well it does, there is a certain delay when i open a webpage, reminds me of a 56k modem speed. [00:36] what's the best way to do remote desktop between 2 ubuntu machines? [00:36] ok thanks [00:36] DarkEdge: does it work? [00:36] bobbytek: nomachine [00:36] ^kub^ which virtual machine do you use? [00:36] eeeekyellowsnow: does your wireless work? [00:36] Edgan: what's that? [00:36] mAriachi: THe gnome-panel has come up, but I haven't tried restarting yet. [00:36] BRB [00:36] it does, but not at home. [00:37] Darkedge: dont worry, it will [00:37] <^kub^> cached i use virtualbox on a win7 host with ubuntu and bt4 guests [00:37] bastid_raZor: for example, when installing mplayer deps, libavcodec et al show up as "to be installed", which is not needed, as I already have much newer versions [00:37] Same here [00:37] eeeekyellowsnow: then it is not a driver issue if its slow [00:37] anybody else know who to tell me how to get my webcam to work for an online web called stickam.com? [00:37] mAriachi: on my ubuntu DNS, should i have the ip of router in the list? [00:37] bobbytek: It is a remote desktop technology. It is more efficient than vnc, and uses ssh to make authentication and your data secure. [00:37] I'm thinking of switching to Kubuntu. Can anybody offer any insight on that? [00:37] eeeekyellowsnow: DNS doesnt have anything to do with IPs [00:38] 64bit win7 hosting 32 bit OS also use xp [00:38] anybody else know who to tell me how to get my webcam to work for an online web called stickam.com [00:38] RiCON: that i do not know. [00:38] ? [00:38] eeeekyellowsnow: just leave it automatically [00:38] Edgan: would that be bad in a vpn situation? [00:38] oki doo [00:38] eeeekyellowsnow: see if somebody is leeching your wireless, do you have it password protected? [00:38] all the free PRO's from the Academic Alliance ^^ [00:38] Edgan, wouldn't that be overkill in terms of the ssh? [00:38] bobbytek: It will still be better than vnc with a vnc [00:38] yes i do have it protected [00:38] bastid_raZor: oh, thanks anyway [00:38] bobbytek: I mean with a vpn [00:39] anybody else know who to tell me how to get my webcam to work for an online web called stickam.com?? [00:39] cool, I'll check it out. [00:39] eeeekyellowsnow: no sense to be slower then: and please type the nickname of who you are reffering to first [00:39] Edgan, is it freely available? [00:39] eeeekyellowsnow: cheers :) [00:39] However I cant figure out how to grant access to my videocard to run Highest graphics quality [00:39] bobbytek: There is freenx, which in my experience works a little less than ok. Then there is nx from nomachine.com which is free as in beer, at least on the low end.

[00:55] hanasaki, flawless for me, usser sshfs IS also user mountable, very easy to run the command in CLI, you can create a launcher for it if you prefer not to use CLI and it will just prompt for password and thats it, i use SSHFS over LAN with no lag at all and over WAN with minimal lag [00:55] did anyone else in here receive any "spammy" PM from Helllifter ?

[01:08] Hey guys I need some help with a bug that has already been filed but the solutions have not worked for me. Basically when I start azureus up I get a notification stating that it is impossible to bind the local socket. because of this anytime I add a torrent to azureus it opens another instance of azureus so I literally have x amount of instances of azureus running. Has anybody found a viable solution for this other than switching to another [01:08] client. I hate java but love azureus so I'm not looking for an alternative [01:09] quietone, thank you [01:12] deluxe_247: bug url? [01:12] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=560056 [01:13] I restarted my computer and for some reason gnome-panel isn't starting automaticly, If I do "gnome-panel" in the terminal it works, What should I do? [01:13] what window manager or desktop environment are you running? [01:14] deluxe_247: you sure it is the same bug? [01:14] okay, i just got a boot up screen...should i boot in the (recovery mode) ?? [01:14] only thing I've been able to find and its the exact message azureus spits out upon startup [01:14] deluxe_247: which is? [01:15] Darkedge, could it be because you've been playing about with the /usr/share/applications/gnome-panel.desktop file? [01:15] darkedge, i think u could put gnome-panel into your .bashrc file [01:15] its not supposed to be an azureus issue from what I understand it has to do with the jdk [01:15] deluxe_247: You might want to try #azureus -- I think Miro is similar to Vuze. Also, if this is irking you, you could use different clients. :\ [01:15] it happened to me once, and i ended up up reinstalling gnome-panel, but it's a common issue from my memory [01:15] apt is keeping back bind and all things having to do with it. anybody know why? [01:15] Hi, I have a very irritating dilemma [01:15] "Warning: Impossible to bind to a local socket. Loading of torrents via command line parameter will fail until is fixed [01:16] Athenon, aptitude why-not bind [01:16] There's a USB flash drive. that is now read-only. I need to make it NOT read only. any idea how I can fix this? [01:16] I'm in linux hoping it'll fix the scenario [01:16] unop: Unable to find a reason to remove bind9. [01:16] kri1987: .bashrc is not the right place to place "startup" -- Every time you spawn a terminal, it'll "open" gnome-panel for no reasons. [01:17] which one would it be kinja-sheep? [01:17] kinja-sheep I didnt want to actually replace the client but if it comes down to it I just installed deluge to get an idea. I have miro installed but its too much for what I need. I want a bit torrent client that handles torrents not everything else as well. thats the whole point of me using azureus with its classic interface I've been using it for years [01:17] kri1987, the gnome autostart thing [01:17] hey all :) please look, i'd like that upon booting and getting the select user screen, my user got selected by default as happens at jaunty, so i simply type my pass, without having to select me in the list. any clue? [01:17] unop, which file does that refer to? [01:18] Athenon, try this then, it should give you a reason. sudo aptitude install bind [01:18] anyone know rhythembox pretty good? [01:18] unop: Yeah, I added "showingnomeonly" if that changes anything. [01:18] Darkedge, probably your problem then [01:18] $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/autostart [01:18] !startup [01:18] To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [01:18] unop: Yep, that works...thanks [01:18] deluxe_247: I use transmission because it is minimal on resources and it get the job done. No need for uTorrent's alike design. :) [01:19] Hey guys, anyone mind helping me get Netbook Remix to boot? [01:19] i just found from the internet that $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/autostart is where you should place gnome-desktop [01:19] i also have transmission and actually used it for a while I may return now that you mention it. and Azureus is a resource hog [01:19] anyone know how to auto delete first N mails from the root ? [01:20] deluxe_247: http://tinyurl.com/yauun2z [01:20] I have a ton of duplicate songs in Rhythembox and I don't know how to view them all, I know in iTunes they had a section for duplicates but I don't know how to do something similar in Rhythembox.

Used the usb creator on a W7 box. [01:22] is there a way to prevent cron job from sending emails / [01:22] Each time it stops midway and says it can't mount /dev/loop1 on /cow [01:22] i tried a fix but it was for ipv6 not 4 [01:22] hello - Is there a flavor of Ubuntu that's modified to be great for audio-editing, deejaying, etc? [01:23] I remember there being one but I can't seem to find it [01:23] i want to do this selectively for only some jobs [01:23] deluxe_247: yeah, but what exactly did you do? [01:23] semitones: Ubuntu Studio. [01:23] thanks, looking it up [01:23] that may be the issue but at this point after seeing the amount of resources azureus uses, thanks kinja-sheep, I'm just going to use transmission. Its lightweight and to the point which is how I like it [01:23] * Topy44 "fixes" UNR with a sledgehammer a bi [01:23] t [01:23] sed -i 's/net.ipv6.bindv6only\ =\ 1/net.ipv6.bindv6only\ =\ 0/' \ [01:23] The selfcheck says that everything is fine [01:24] /etc/sysctl.d/bindv6only.conf && sudo invoke-rc.d procps restart [01:24] *bang* [01:24] deluxe_247: yeah, that will do nothing [01:24] deluxe_247: rtorrent is even more lightweight [01:24] i'm trying to install guest additions for vbox in an ubuntu guest... i see VBoxLinuxAdditionsamd64.run... when i "run in terminal" a black screen flashes and that's it... any ideas how i can install it? [01:24] Unfortunately, I've downloaded the iso image 3 times and gotten the same result. [01:24] I can't boot up the live usb or install. [01:24] deluxe_247: deluge is the closest I have seen to a azureus replacement [01:24] Would I be able to get support for Ubuntu Studio in this channel?

[01:25] tried adding that line myself still a no go [01:25] 1005HA, as I mentioned. [01:25] deluxe_247: Which says prefer ipv4 over ipv6 [01:25] unless there was some java service that I forgot to restart === Guest4575 is now known as bonfire8 [01:26] deluxe_247: in this case java doesn't run as a service === bonfire8 is now known as bonfire89 [01:26] deluxe_247: It is just a runtime, somewhat like python [01:26] When I try to boot anything off the USB drive, it ends with that error message about not being able to mount, and the correct usage and flags you can use with the mount command.

Ignore error" what should I do? [01:26] deluxe_247: You would probably want to add that to /usr/bin/azureus at the end to get it to be used by azureus. [01:27] good evening all [01:27] cool i figured as much. thanks guys but bleach 254 is done downloading. will give that a shot though Edgan [01:27] bonfire89: Sounds like e2fsck is in order. Doesn't sound like a big deal. [01:27] later guys and thanks for the help [01:27] bonfire89: of course, backups are always good [01:27] There's a USB flash drive. that is now read-only. I need to make it NOT read only. any idea how I can fix this? trying to do this in linux [01:28] mkanyicy, sorry, yes my problem was solved... and yes, i had to give the home/ folder x permission as you suggested. Thanks for that [01:28] can I sync a pocket pc with ubuntu?

[01:28] edgan: happens no matter what I do [01:28] Any idea what might cause this? [01:28] It says that netbook remix has been tested on the 1005HA. [01:28] brandon_: What is the filesystem on the flash drive? [01:28] fat16 [01:29] I assume this means that it should be installing correctly, or at least booting off the USB. [01:29] Hey everyone, sounds busy in here, so if anyone could help me out with a question regarding partitions then I would appreciate it [01:29] brandon_: dmesg | tail -10 have anything to say about why it is read-only? [01:29] inmanix: just ask [01:29] hello guys. where i can get driver for printer canon pixma ip 1880? [01:29] Well I openned up a 10gb partition and installed a 9.10 dual boot [01:29] manufacturers site [01:29] my other partition is 240gb or windows xp [01:30] Edgan: So I just hit "y" yeeeahh.. that is what I am working towards right now (backups) (don't use irc much, not sure how to respond back, tried a colon. heh) [01:30] edgan: what exactly is that? [01:30] inmanixwhat do you need to know about partions [01:30] now im wondering how to best manage my partitions for using both ubuntu and xp [01:30] what command allows the difference in two files be compared? [01:30] Can OOo read .dbf files? [01:30] because im guessing ubuntu dont like to run much from the xp harddrive [01:30] brandon_: dmesg prints out kernel messages. Mostly hardware related stuff. | tail -10 says give me the last 10 lines [01:30] you mean you have a dual boot set up ? [01:30] bonfire89: ok, hope it works out [01:30] yes [01:31] Edgan: kk, thanks! [01:31] inmanix: linux and windows can co-exist on the same hard drive just fine [01:31] i read that people partition their system, 20 gb for xp, 10 gb for ubuntu, and the rest shared [01:31] you should have a boot grub with both systems on boot up [01:31] Anyone? [01:31] Can you use a fat32 extension to share files between the OS's? [01:31] yes i do, ubuntu is running fine [01:31] inmanix: Generally you want to have Windows as the first partition [01:31] ok how do I paste this in without flooding? [01:32] and xp ? [01:32] inmanix: and you want to install Windows first, then Linux [01:32] yes i have [01:32] In smplayer, my mouse seems to appear randomly even if i let it disappear into the corner while watching a movie. here's an image of it, it's on the right: http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/7130/screenshotxe.png I like smplayer but this is the only problem and it's such an annoyance it distracts me from watching a movie [01:32] inmanix: you also want to do all partitioning with Linux beforehand.

[03:00] I'm wondering because I want to be able to access my Linux partition from Windows, which isn't possible yet in ext4. [03:00] I guess I'll just format it in ext3, then. [03:00] How do I turn off pulseaudio? [03:00] ThatGuyOverThere: filesystems are pretty complex. you'd probably have to do a fair amount of reading to answer that question. i'm sure it's got a number of improvements. for one thing, i know that eventually there is going to be a defragger for ext4 [03:00] thanks perscitus for reminding me of the COC that i have read several times [03:01] Anyone care to help me set up network sharing between two computers? (not WAN related) [03:01] ThatGuyOverThere: why dont u access them over samba ? [03:01] killall pulseaudio maybe [03:01] how do i get a console viewable ? [03:01] That's a pain in the butt. [03:01] Riddell: You just marked bug #336210 as fix released -- but the package emacs-extra still appears to be in lucid -- is it just launchpad taking it's time updating, or? [03:01] perscitus: with static or dhcp ? [03:02] ThatGuyOverThere: it takes 30 sec to set it up and you can map it to a drive letter in windows [03:02] What device is responsible for the mouse? [03:02] How to " chmod a+w" for any ".py" files in all sub-dir ? [03:02] kmin: Can I make it mount the partition when I start Windows? [03:02] ThatGuyOverThere: yes [03:03] Hmm...

[03:06] yup [03:06] Okay. Thanks. [03:06] By the way... [03:06] guest what is this bit "'{}'' for ? [03:06] Anyone care to help me set up network sharing between two computers? (not WAN related) [03:06] ...I'm wondering if I can transfer apps from my old Ubuntu partition to the new one? [03:06] See, I've got Ubuntu and Windows installed already. [03:06] i just installed 9.10 and all the consoles are hosed. the vidio is borked. any thoughts on how to fix my consoles ? [03:07] But I decided I wanted my Ubuntu partition in ext3 so I could access those files from Windows. [03:07] ok ubuntu geniuses, I've got a challenge for you. "/dev/sdc is apparently in use by the system; will not make a filesystem here!" but it's not mounted or in use [03:07] matelot: the found files will be substituted there and quoted [03:07] So I shrunk the Ubuntu partition and was planning on doing a clean install. [03:07] perscitus, no one here is going to hold your hand and walk you through one step at a time.. go read a short how-to and try for yourself [03:07] Then I could just transfer files from one partition to the other. [03:07] usrv: if that is the cdrom maybe it is empty :) [03:08] Can I do the same with my applications somehow? [03:08] kmin: I have 4 sata drives i'm trying to format, a, b, c, d [03:08] usrv: cat /proc/mounts or even df [03:08] did you check what it is running on ? [03:08] ThatGuyOverThere: u might but i don't recommend it you are better of by installing them fresh [03:08] usrv, using raid or lvms? [03:08] Okay. [03:08] Out_Cold.-> dont be disrespectful and rude to asking for help [03:09] is there a way to have compiz remember what i have open and all the windows locations, so they're all there automatically when i log back in? [03:09] !troll > perscitus [03:09] perscitus, please see my private message [03:09] usrv: if they r new hard (no file system) you can't mount them you should use fdisk first [03:09] Anyone care to help me set up network sharing between two computers? (not WAN related) [03:09] out_cold: not using raid. I don't know what lvm is. [03:10] kmin: I thought you could format w/o partitioning? [03:10] usrv: no you sould atleast create 1 partition [03:10] usrv, lvm is a fancy way to resize and add disks to existing partitions... really neat idea [03:10] should* [03:11] can anyone help me with ident2? [03:11] perscitus: what is the problem [03:11] kmin and usrv it is possable to write filesystems to hard disk drives, but the most common way is to create a partition and write the fs there. [03:11] usrv: lvm is the same thing as dynamic disk in windows [03:11] I have wxpython 2.6 and 2.8 installed. It appears that command line python and eclipse use 2.6. How can I get them to use 2.8? I'm happy to remove 2.i6 -- want to know how to fix paths. === FunicularGoat-Mo is now known as FunicularGoat-iP [03:11] kmin: One more question. [03:12] usrv> kmin: I thought you could format w/o partitioning? <<< you can [03:12] thanks guest [03:12] quit [03:12] output of cat /proc/mounts -> http://pastebin.com/m11376b53 [03:12] guest: isn't that the same as having one partition? [03:12] zacktu: they probably 'depend' on 2.6 and cannot use 2.8. you can see their dependencies with a command... [03:13] I only want one partition [03:13] if the network manager config files are in gconf-editor, what "directory" are they under? I cannot find anything! [03:13] kmin: Will it make any difference whether I set up the ext3 partition as logical or primary? I mean with regards to accessing the partition in Windows. [03:13] is there a program to make a md5 checksum of a file? [03:13] zacktu: for instance.. apt-cache show eclpise [03:13] kmin no. [03:13] ThatGuyOverThere: no but you can't boot from a logical partition [03:13] !md5 [03:13] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [03:14] Damn. [03:14] kmin a partition table is not a requirement on an hdd it is however reccomended by most people. [03:14] I think I already have three primary partitions. [03:14] anyone good with virtualbox? [03:14] sdwrage, what's the issues? [03:14] I absolutely know the network manager is scanning for wireless networks every two minutes and this is causing unwanted lag. how can I change the interval? [03:14] kmin: you can boot from a logical partition or even an unpartitioned disk. [03:14] guest, kmin: I can't even mkfs.ext4 -F [03:14] kmin: i do it all the time. [03:15] guest: i know but that would require lots of time with grub :) [03:15] it is just easier to boot from a primary one [03:15] kmin: with early grub yes. with grub2 no. [03:16] and ThatGuyOverThere you can have 4 primary or 3 primary and one extended so... [03:16] Out_Cold, cant get my resolution any higher than 800x600 even after I installed the additions [03:16] why not? [03:16] Well, whenever I try to set up my root Ubuntu folder as primary, it won't let me create any more. [03:16] sdwrage: !help [03:16] Which means no swap and no separate partition for my home folder [03:17] ThatGuyOverThere: then i guess u have to take you chances with grub :D [03:17] usrv: blkid | grep 555a147b-f0f0-4623-9390-db7abc1b60d3 [03:17] i am still unable to select any partitions in the ubuntu installer [03:17] This sucks. [03:17] is there a way to have compiz/gnome remember what i have open and all the windows locations, so they're all there automatically when i log back in? [03:18] does anyone know if it's possible to pipe the sound from my laptop to my desktop when I'm at home? My desktop is hooked up to the stereo. [03:18] guest: sde1. that's the drive my system is installed on [03:18] desero, ? [03:18] guest: do u know why i am getting packages corupt message when i try to isntall ubuntu ? the image is correct [03:18] onetinsoldier, yes. I think it's a compiz plugin, but I'm not sure. [03:18] sdwrage: sorry, meant to write to ubottu [03:18] ThatGuyOverThere: you probably have three othere primary partitions already [03:19] Yes, I'm sure I do. [03:19] usrv: then i don't see why an sudo eject /dev/sd? wont work. [03:19] ubottu: help <- swrage [03:19] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:19] Seven_Six_Two: ok [03:19] One of them is probably the recovery Windows partition, and the other two are the main Windows partition and my Ubuntu partition. [03:19] !help [03:19] 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. :-) [03:19] ahh, yes :) [03:19] desero, im confused what you want me to ask.... [03:19] 0_o [03:19] oh hah [03:20] yeah I know [03:20] sdwrage: what is it about virtualbox you need help with? [03:20] Hi, would anyone here be willing to mirror a myspace page for me [03:20] guest: *******@*******:~$ sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdc1 [03:20] mke2fs 1.41.9 (22-Aug-2009) [03:20] /dev/sdc1 is apparently in use by the system; will not make a filesystem here! [03:20] ThatGuyOverThere: cant have more than 4 primary partitions or something [03:20] Yeah, I know. [03:20] ThatGuyOverThere: so you'll need to make the fourth primary partition the holder for the extended/logical partitions, seeing that the partitioner can only handle four primaries. but booting from an extened shouldn't be a problem. [03:21] i also ejected sdc1, sdc [03:21] guest: Explain how I do that... make the fourth primary partition the blah blah blah. [03:21] Would anyone be willing to mirror a myspace page for me? [03:21] guaest: I can delete/create partitions with fdisk. I just can't format [03:21] usrv: hmmmm sudo fdisk -l and see if the system even recgnizes an sdc [03:22] hi-is it safe to ctrl-c out of a fsck.ext3? [03:22] guest: it does [03:22] desero, I mentioned it above but ill mention it again. I am having a problem with my ubuntu VM in virtualbox having a max resolution of 800x600 [03:22] it knows sdc1 is a lunx partition [03:22] desero, even installed the additions [03:22] linux* [03:22] Would anyone be willing to mirror a myspace page for me? I'd be willing to pay up to $25 [03:22] ThatGuyOverThere: the options is marked as "extended" what it really is, is a primary that contains other partitions. but that's confusing. [03:23] guest: So what you're saying is I'm going to have to delete my existing partition before I re-install Ubuntu if I want to make the new Ubuntu partition primary, right? [03:24] usrv: and scd1 is where the system lives ? [03:24] guest: this problem started yesterday. I took the drive out and did a full format overnight in windows and it worked fine [03:24] ThatGuyOverThere: sorry buddy setting up dual boot systems always need planing before hand [03:24] guest: no, sde1 [03:24] kmin: :/ [03:24] install host [03:24] Whenever I try to load an .exe file, It comes up as a white screen.

I've got a classroom proxy server that blocks websites, but I'd like to have it display a custom page when it hits a site that is in the bad-sites file. Right now, it generates a generic page. [03:25] kmin: Would I need to set up my home partition as primary, or just the root partition? [03:25] ThatGuyOverThere: actually only the /boot one needs to be primary [03:25] Where can I download a deb of the latest Cheese for jaunty? [03:25] ThatGuyOverThere: what i am saying is. you are only allowed 4 primary partitions, and if you want more than 4 total partitions, one of the primaries has to be and extended partition. [03:25] Whenever I try to load an .exe file, It comes up as a white screen. Please help me [03:25] kmin: /boot? [03:25] how do I make my Ubuntu install things to my external hard drive by default [03:25] What is /boot? [03:26] That's part of the root partition I'm going to make, right? Primary partition, ext3, mount point /? [03:26] :D [03:26] guest: here's a question. this motherboard is new. would ubuntu have issues with me setting my sata controller to AHCI? [03:26] ThatGuyOverThere: and as i said before, i have no issues with booting logical volumes. [03:26] Where is a good place to get web mirroring help? [03:26] I have the ability to do all of this, I don't have a hard drive. [03:26] usrv: very possable. [03:26] guest: i don't get it tho because it sees the drives and lets me partition them [03:27] ThatGuyOverThere: / can be a logical partition /boot is the one that holds your kernel and needs to be a primary if you don't want to use extended grub configuration [03:27] Anyone know where the install logs are kept in ubuntu? [03:27] usrv: i'm running x86_64. i set mine to ahci.. works a treat === lipsin__ is now known as lipsin [03:27] kmin: What the deuce.

[03:28] if you don't want to remove your already in place windows partitions it will pay off to looking into grub and use the logical partitions as guest mentioned [03:28] usrv: let me hand you off to someone that has had some experance with this sort of issue. all my hardware is older stuff. and i really don't know what else to do there. [03:28] usrv: yeah [03:28] kmin: And I was planning on making a swap partition as well. === biker_ is now known as biker [03:29] kmin: I see nothing in there about creating a partition /boot.

[03:29] ThatGuyOverThere: that is true if you can afford to have those partition but that is not the only way [03:29] anybody reading realy [03:29] anyone know if it is safe to abort a fsck on an ext3 currently in pass 1? [03:29] kmin: Okay. Bottom line, if I want my new Ubuntu partition to be primary, I'm going to have to delete the existing Ubuntu partition first, yes? [03:29] guest: ok. thanks for the assist. [03:29] How can i return a user's id? I want to be able to (as root) type in "getid bob" and have it return me the UID [03:30] anyone have any ideas? [03:30] marks256: id [03:30] ThatGuyOverThere: yes if you want it to be primary it seems that u are running our of partitions [03:30] Dang. [03:30] out* [03:30] Alright. [03:30] guest, that seems to give me my id... [03:31] kmin: So when I set up the new partitions, what I'm asking is, only / needs to be primary, right? [03:31] anyone know where to ask good questions about HTML jobs [03:31] Or does /home need to be primary also? [03:31] And if it doesn't need to be, is there any advantage to doing so? [03:31] marks256: if it's in a script you might just test the UID [ ! 0 == $UID ] && echo not root [03:31] guest, read the man page. thanks :) it's working now [03:31] i currently have a Radeon HD 4850 .. and i'm going to replace it with a Radeon HD 5870 .. think linux will notice? without installing/changing any new drivers [03:31] ThatGuyOverThere: it does not need to be but it is a good practice [03:32] yo yo yo [03:32] Alright. [03:32] But I'm still going to need a swap partition. [03:32] guest, nah i need the actual number for display purposes [03:32] marks256: welcome. [03:32] yes u do [03:32] Will I be able to set that up if both my / and /home partitions are primary? [03:32] IS there a way to find people who are willing to do computer jobs for money? [03:32] this is how i usually do it [03:32] Sooooooooo [03:32] I had to ask here because no one is answering my question in any other channel [03:32] Ubuntu NBR still isn't booting [03:32] marks256: heh. that is the actual number... echo $UID [03:32] They're all like "Or does /home need to primary also?" [03:33] Good day everyone [03:33] squelch: You are really annoying. [03:33] one primary for windows c: one primary for linux '/boot' and one extended that holds everything else swap '/home /opt' etc. [03:33] So are you, you piece of poo [03:33] Loading /ubnkern....... Loading /ubninit........ready. [03:33] And now nothing. [03:33] Sigh. [03:33] Hay chubby pucker, how are you. How many times do you have to poo? [03:33] Any one? [03:34] how install webmin [03:34] squelch: Here's a good practice. Does the name of the channel say anything about mirroring your MySpace page in it? [03:34] looks like i have to go via proxy users first [03:34] squelch: Then probably nobody wants to talk about that. [03:34] !webmin [03:34] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [03:34] What program should i use to download Torrents? [03:34] !ebox [03:34] ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox [03:34] no, you bucker, but diect me to a channel that does then [03:34] ryanCH: yes. well, it could depend. what driver are you using? do you have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file? if so, it might have your video cards chipset as an entry in that file and X reads that when it starts up. [03:35] deamonfish: i use deluge [03:35] where's das boot when you need it [03:35] ryanCH: if you don't have that file, then X just runs at some defaults using a generic driver i think [03:35] Does it work good? [03:35] Does anyone know why when I try to install that Ubuntu wont see my partions? I have created a linux partion both using partion magic and using liveCD (sorry this is first time I am using linux of any kind) [03:35] squelch: This channel is for discussion about Ubuntu. If you want to talk about something that has nothing to do with that, go somewhere else. [03:35] deamonfish: i like it it works good [03:35] onetinsoldier, well ubuntu configured it all automatically .. so what do i need to do to install the new video card [03:35] so no one knows why i might be getting corrupt packages message while installing ubuntu? [03:35] deamonfish: deluge is on ublender.com as the best torrent client [03:36] Ok, thanks for your help guys :) [03:37] I got segfault from blender in karmic. [03:37] ryanCH: i'm not sure. it used to be a command like 'dpkg-reconfigure -plow xserver-xorg' - but i'm not sure if that command is it anymore [03:37] deamonfish: yep no problem [03:37] http://paste.ubuntu.com/359342 [03:37] Alright guys [03:37] i just installed 9.10 and all the consoles are hosed. the vidio is borked. any thoughts on how to fix my consoles? can i disable something in /etc/rc$runlevel.d/ to keep my consoles from going bonkers? [03:37] If this still doesn't work, I'm gonna give up on Ubuntu. [03:37] Here's the history so far. [03:38] how do I fix it? [03:38] hi all.. anyone knows iptables?? i got a vpn server on linux... when I client is connected it create a new pppN interface (n >= 0) how can I forward dynamic interfaces= [03:38] ? [03:38] I tried every combination of settings with the provided usb-creator.exe utility to make my USB drive bootable. [03:38] Hello, How can i temp disable my touchpad when i am typing on my netbook. I hate it when i am typing code and my hand slightly touches the pad and makes me delete a shit ton of stuff. [03:38] I got a mounting error. [03:38] cannot mount /dev/loop1 on /cow [03:38] So, I tried reinstalling it to the usb stick. [03:38] [ 3.208287] [] kernel_thread_helpter+0x7/x10, etc. etc. etc. [03:39] exit [03:39] Well damn. So I used a different way to make it bootable.

The menubar and nav bar are missing (it's not in full screen) [03:39] So. [03:39] How do I get NBR to work on my 1005HA? [03:40] Is there any way I can get the Ubuntu LiveCD to boot off of an external Firewire CD drive? Currently, it just gives me a "No bootable device". [03:40] If I can't even boot it up, I don't see how it could possibly be compatible with my 1005HA. [03:40] kfizz: somewhere in ~/.mozilla [03:40] Kotan: did you MD5 test the img file you downloaded? [03:41] how do I fix a segfault? [03:41] No, but I've been using 3 different images (IE: Downloaded 3 different times) from 2 different locations on 2 different computers [03:41] I'll check the MD5sum as soon as I find it for NBR, give me a sec [03:41] hi all, i just registered some dns domains & subdomains from freedns.afraid.org & i exported this file, what i want to know is where to pu this file please http://pastebin.com/f5c9fe2df [03:41] Kotan: doesnt matter, you could download it an infinite number of times and never get a good image [03:41] I got it in about:config, thanks ActionParsnip__ [03:41] thanks in advance for helping [03:41] I suppose. [03:42] Where's the MD5sum for the image? [03:42] !md5 | Kotan [03:42] Kotan: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows === gabriel__ is now known as El_perro_violet [03:42] which file on the desktop cd ISO has the filesystem and how can it be mounted by a regular ubuntu system with the cd in the disk drive? [03:42] I really need help I have been working on the problem for 4 hours. To recap, When I go to install, ubuntu wont see my partions, and I have created partion (in many different ways)...........Please Help. [03:42] i've seen a file that looks like it -> /etc/bind/db.local [03:42] is that file where i must put the contents === tk_mr is now known as tkmr [03:43] testtt: you can mount the CD using the mount command, it will automount wen inserted, ISOs need a tiny bt more effort [03:43] hiiiiiiiii :) where is my vote ? [03:43] hiiiiiiiii :) where is my vote ? [03:43] hiiiiiiiii :) where is my vote ? [03:43] secret: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:43] testtt: the CD has the filesystem [03:44] About to check hash [03:44] MD5 matches. [03:44] ActionParsnip__, looking to pull the /etc directory off the bootable CD... where / how to do it? [03:44] It's a valid image. [03:44] http://paste.ubuntu.com/359342 [03:45] Now that I know I have a valid image [03:45] Kotan: then run the disk verifier on the install medium once initially booted, as well as the ram tester [03:45] I did that already. [03:45] No errors [03:45] Any thoughts anyone? [03:45] testtt: i'd boot to the live cd, mount the internal partition with the current /etc and copy the folder from the live system to the internal drive [03:46] !bootoptions | Kotan [03:46] Kotan: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [03:46] kmin: Okay, here's what I'm trying to do. [03:46] Kotan: all i can suggest then [03:46] hmmm [03:46] ...is this a quantum distribution? [03:46] Now that I've checked the MD5sum, it's booted up. [03:47] kmin: I created a new empty logical partition in the unused space I created. Then I want to copy all of my Ubuntu folders to it, delete the existing Ubuntu partition, and do a clean install of Ubuntu. Then I can get my old Ubuntu files off of the logical partition. [03:47] And don't look at me like that, I've been trying this since noon, and it's 9:47 PM here. [03:47] kmin: How can I do that? [03:47] Alright, let's see how it goes. [03:47] i just installed 9.10 and all the consoles are hosed. the vidio is borked. any thoughts on how to fix my consoles ? === El_perro_violet is now known as El_perro_violeta [03:48] guest: what is the output of: lsb_release -c ? [03:48] kmin: Every time I try to copy all of my Ubuntu files from / it says it can't do it. [03:48] kmin: I'm using Nautilus with root permissions. [03:48] Will some one help. [03:48] guest, do you happen to have a Hauppauge TV Tuner and Nvidia graphics card? [03:49] Damn, he's gone. [03:49] Can anyone else help? [03:49] ActionParsnip__: 9.10 karmic [03:49] ZykoticK9: no [03:50] guest, k just asking (different issue then), good luck man [03:50] Any thoughts on why the install can't see my partions? [03:50] ZykoticK9: k [03:51] Hi, I connected my laptp to my TV and that works fine. Except that the TV only shows the highlighted part of this screenshot http://sites.google.com/site/delficktest/screenProblem.png. Does anyone know how to fix this ? [03:51] guest: then simply run: mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_old; dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg; shutdown -r now from root recovery console [03:51] is anyone here running ubuntu through VMPlayer? I'm wondering if the 3D desktop effects are working for you? [03:51] How do I find and install drivers for ATI card [Radeon X1550 Series RV505]? [03:51] If I have "set nowrap" in ~/.nanorc, how can I do the opposite of "nano -w" -- ie open nano *with* linewrapping? [03:52] i have a question, for a USB printer, shared via CUPS using IPP or similar is a remote print job able to turn the printer on? [03:52] hi friends [03:52] ActionParsnip__: X works ok. the consoles are hosed [03:52] this might be off-topic to this list, but i thought may be someone must have tried it earlier [03:53] i have downloaded a file using torrent, but it seems that it is playable only in moviexplayer [03:53] Wind0pain, i have no idea about VMPlayer, but 3d effect to work with VirtualBox - just something to keep in mind [03:53] delfic1: its you resolution you just have to play with it [03:53] i just installed 9.10 and all the consoles are hosed. any thoughts on how to fix my consoles ? <<< can i turn something off in runlevel # that might help ? [03:53] ActionParsnip__: ^ [03:53] shadow_120: I tried, but none of them seem to fix it :( [03:53] is it possible for me to somehow for me to break it and make it play in vlc or movie player [03:53] ? [03:53] I would really like to install ubuntu, but I am having troubles with the installer not seeing my partions, any thoughts..... [03:53] Anyon [03:54] Anyone? [03:54] Hi there, I got a real quick question about using the Terminal: If I open a piece of software with a terminal but how do I close the terminal itself while keeping avant window mandager up? [03:54] shadow_120: from using nvidia-settings dialog [03:54] Hi, how do I use a ppa: link in jaunty? [03:54] #ubuntu-beginners [03:54] ZykoticK9: i just tried vBox with no luck. after installing guest additions i shut down the machine, made sure 3D support was enabled... after trying to enable the enhanced desktop features i saw this error: "desktop effects could not be enabled" [03:54] quietone: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-ati-video-card-in-you-linux-system.html === earl_ is now known as Guest41678 [03:54] guest: not sure then dude, sorry [03:54] Mars_: have you ever used 'cfdisk'? [03:54] http://paste.ubuntu.com/359342/ [03:55] dekfick1: if your the guy from the forums ask there someone will know [03:55] Wind0pain, dunno man - it certainly works for me with Ubuntu host & guest with Nvidia gfx card [03:55] I have not [03:55] Problem: I changed my Display resolution from (I think) 1400x733 to 1280x720, and now I cannot login - GDM seems to crash and restart. How can I determine the correct resolution, and implement it, from the recovery console? [03:55] ZykoticK9: hmm, i'm using an nVidia 7950gt, 7 host and 9.10 guest [03:55] twomashi: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa for example, change the ppa bit for the ppa you want to add [03:55] ji, how do I install SpoonWEP and SpoonWPA? it's not currently in the repo. [03:55] shadow_120: "the guy from the forums" ?? (well, I do have a forum account of name "delfick") however probably a good idea... thnx anyways :p [03:55] ActionParsnip__: that's only in karmic :/ [03:55] Wind0pain: what does: sudo lshw -C display say the display is? [03:56] But I used the software that came with ubuntu [03:56] Wind0pain, 7 is in Windows 7? lol, that's probably the issue (sorry man i don't to MS at all anymore, good luck) [03:56] maybe if ubuntu is both the host and the guest things work out better... i'm installing on vmwareplayer at the moment [03:56] Mars_: roger. in the installer did you pick to make your partitions manually? how did you make these partitions that the installer is not seing? [03:56] seeing* [03:56] twomashi1: then you'll have to do it the old way by adding it in /etc/apt/sources.list then inporting the key on the ppa page [03:56] ActionParsnip__: but im not sure how to convert the ppa: link to a deb link [03:57] Wind0pain, just as an FYI, 3d effects aren't really that great in VMs (they work, but not what i'd call "well") [03:57] i odnt think jaunty understands ppa: links [03:57] twomashi1: not to my knowledge [03:57] ActionParsnip__: i deleted the VM just a few minutes ago, can't check now [03:57] twomashi1: takes seconds to add the ppa to the text file, the link to the key will also be on the ppa page so can easily be iported [03:58] imported* [03:58] ZykoticK9: ahh, i was just interested in the desktop effects; it's the main reason i wanted to have an ubuntu guest [03:58] Wind0pain: really!? they get old real quick [03:58] First I resized with Pation Magic out of windows, cleared out 20 gigs for partion. then used the LiveCD and went though the install and it doesn't see the empty space, I then created the partion using the Gpart (or whatever it is called) the live CD still sees the partions after reboots, but the installer wont. [03:58] ActionParsnip__: I just have a ppa: link: ppa:kevin-mehall/libwnck [03:58] nothing else [03:58] How cpu intensive is gnome-do ? I was thinking of installing on my netbook but if it will drain cpu/battery there is no point.. [03:58] twomashi1: gimme a sec [03:58] ActionParsnip__: it's something different. [03:59] microhaxo, GNOME is pretty low resource-intensive. [03:59] microhaxo: no much [03:59] say i remove my gnome panels and strickly use gnome-do with docky [03:59] would that use about the same power? [03:59] strictly* [04:00] twomashi1: https://launchpad.net/~kevin-mehall/+archive/libwnck [04:00] microhaxo, The difference would be neglibable. [04:00] ActionParsnip__: thanks I missed that doc in my searches [04:00] Battery life is very important, so if its even like 10% more i dont want to do it. [04:00] ActionParsnip__: thanks! [04:00] twomashi1: the page has a link to the key which you can paste to a text file then import [04:01] microhaxo, We're talking like a few minutes here and there. Why don't you use XFCE if you're looking for a low-power desktop environment? [04:01] nobody knows about segfaults? [04:01] Mars_: you sure the installer can't see it? try the option to set up your partitions manually. then on 'gparted', look over on the far upper right. you should see a button that will let you select the device for partitioning. try it and see if you can't find it there [04:01] I cant stand xfce for some reason :| [04:01] microhaxo, Enlightenment? [04:01] my cups service does not start whenever my computer boots up. I have to run "/etc/init.d/cups restart" before I want to print something. [04:01] microhaxo: try lxde or fluxbox for an alternative light DE [04:01] I really like gnome :| [04:01] on gnome i get about 7 hours 50 min of battery life [04:01] microhaxo, gnome-do requires compiz running! thus battery usage will not be low. [04:01] Mars_: but really, i'm not 100% sure what's wrong [04:01] Ahh [04:02] forget that crap then [04:02] microhaxo, Standard GNOME with no compiz is the best you can shoot for then. [04:02] Yep, thats what i have now. [04:02] i have been trying to install ubuntu 9.10 on my 30 gig maxtor hd for about 4 hours now, i am running off of the live cd, and i am trying to create partions so that the installer will recognize them, but i am being told that i don't have the permissions to do anything. can any one help me? [04:02] stevenheidel: add it to /etc/rc.local and it will be ran at the last step before the login screen shows [04:02] ZykoticK9: microhaxo not true.. there is a version that doesn't.. it's only the "on screen docky thing" that requires compiz [04:02] microhaxo, then there you go. =) [04:02] lol :) [04:03] :Fair its hard to explain because I am new to Linux. In Gparted there is my NTSF partion (70gig) and Linux partion (20gig). But when I do the install I get to step 4 of 7 and there are no partions in the list. [04:03] I was going to try and use gnomedo + docky as a full replacement of the applications menu etc. [04:03] scunizi, ok you're right about that - as i only use gnome-do for the dock I kinda forget it does do other things as well - my bad [04:03] ZykoticK9: :) .. [04:03] kevin1093: run: gksudo gparted and create the partitions there, the installer should run as root so access isn't an issue, you can sidestep the partitioning step by manually doing it before kicking off the installer if its being a PITA [04:04] i am using gparted [04:04] kevin1093: you could even run: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade to upgrade the files in the liveCD environment whic may help (these will not transfer to the installed system) [04:04] Then I click forward, and I get an error saying I haven't selected a partion (which I would if there was anything in my list) [04:04] Mars_: you just have one hard drive? [04:04] kevin1093: gparted will need running with gksudo or it will only be running as a user which has no admin access [04:05] yup [04:05] question...i just did useradd ts3 [04:05] i will also say that this is my first experience with linux [04:05] as root [04:05] Mars_: are you able to select the 'free space'? is there free space in gparted? the 20 gigs that you made? [04:05] This should have created the home directory right? [04:05] kevin1093: no problem, ubuntu is great for linux virgins [04:06] I did this by the CLI too [04:06] It was free space, but I have formated it be a linux partion. [04:06] !addser | Maz3Mike [04:06] !adduser [04:06] To add new users to your Ubuntu system, follow the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddUsersHowto - For administrative privileges, users need to be made members of the group "admin" - See !sudo [04:06] Mars_: did you use Partition Magic to make the partition a linux partition? [04:06] why do someone gets segfaults? [04:06] ls -d list directories? [04:06] Maz3Mike: it will by default, yes. You can use -d to specify a different home dir if you wish [04:07] at first, but then I used gparted to to delete it and re-partion. which I thought was the issue to start with. but it didn't work [04:07] Mars_: never mind. you'd said that you had used gparted to make it a linux partition [04:08] If I have "set nowrap" in ~/.nanorc, how can I do the opposite of "nano -w" -- ie open nano *with* linewrapping? [04:08] Interesting....I see it in the passwd and shadow file....but when I go to /home...I dont see it there [04:08] any php mssql freaks around.. [04:08] Mars_: yeah, roger. i'm not sure what's wrong. i might if i were there looking at it myself [04:08] Morell: although "man ls" says that is true. I just tried it and it doesn't show my directories [04:09] Ya...Well you up for a flight to Canada [04:09] LOL [04:09] I meant only in the passwd file [04:09] yes but not work [04:09] right [04:09] Do I need to create the home directory? [04:09] which linux partion should I be using to install ubuntu [04:09] Why doesn't ls -d show the directories in my ~ directory? [04:09] maybe I am using the wrong type [04:09] another question: what is gksudo? [04:10] Hmm..thinking I didnt use the -d option [04:10] Mars_: hehe. nope, sorry. but, you could try using 'cfdisk'. sometimes using it to write out the partition table seems to work better. but you have to know how to get to a console in the installer and you have to use the command line [04:10] Morell, the "-d" is to show the directory name, instead of the contents of the directory [04:10] So why do I have to type the WEP key everytime I restart my computer? [04:10] kevin1093: it's used to start a gui app with sudo privlidges [04:10] Maz3Mike: you may have to create the home folder manually [04:10] and how do i get it? [04:10] ZykoticK9: I just tried it and it didn't work for me despite man ls saying it should [04:10] Maz3Mike: make sure it is owned by the user to whom it belongs [04:11] kevin1093: you have gksudo [04:11] ZykoticK9: i want lis only directories [04:11] arghhhhhhh...I thought it would create the home folder automatically [04:11] kevin1093: gksudo is how to correctly run GUI apps with elevated priveledges [04:11] Maz3Mike: the gui app does (i believe) [04:11] scunizi, with the an example directory, try "ls dirname" vs "ls -l dirname" [04:11] do you think maybe I am using the wrong linux partion? [04:12] So let me get this straight...if you use the CLI it doesnt automatically create the home directory? [04:12] scunizi, s/"ls -l/"ls -d [04:12] Maz3Mike: not sure [04:12] ZykoticK9: if I'm in ~ and simply do a ls -d shouldn't it show the directories in ~? [04:12] scunizi, nope [04:12] Maz3Mike: i'd read the adduser doc to check [04:12] !adduser [04:13] ZykoticK9: I have to explicitely name the directory? [04:13] According to the useradd command...it says it will create the homedirectory [04:13] hi, i just formatted my vista ntfs partition to free up about 150gb of space "in front of" my ubuntu partition. i also have unallocated space after the ubuntu partition. now i want to move ubuntu to the beginning of the first partition and consolidate all three into a single partition without losing my data. is this possible if i use the livecd? [04:13] scunizi, for the -d to do anything yes === lance_ is now known as Guest42821 [04:13] Mars_: i really don't know. all i can think of/recommend 'trying' is... cfdisk instead of gparted [04:14] Thanks for your help onetin. have a good one. [04:14] ZykoticK9: no.. what I mean is if I'm in my home directory and want a listing of just the directories in home then I have to do "ls -d /home/ ?? as opposed to being in the home directory and simply doing ls -d ?? [04:14] When I originally setup my UBuntu, for some reason my boot information went onto drive 2, and the main & swap partitions went onto drive 1.. now I want to remove drive 2 from my system but i'm having a hard time getting it to boot without the second drive.. any suggestions? [04:14] How can I save the WEP key so I dont have to enter it each time I logon? [04:15] scunizi, i don't know a way (although i'm sure there is one) of listing just directories, but it probably doesn't have anything to do with "ls -d" [04:15] Renatus: you shouldn't use wep [04:16] ZykoticK9: take a look at "man ls" .. the -d switch is for directories like you mentioned.. it's just the syntax that's probably messing with us. [04:16] what would I use otherwise? [04:16] Renatus, WPA. WEP can be cracked in a matter of minutes. If that. [04:18] um [04:18] is it really quiet in here? maybe I'm on the dirty end of a split [04:18] with CUPS, when i use the web interface eg. (127.0.0.1:631) and i go to administrator it asks for user/pass [04:18] well i cant change the encryption, but how do i make the wireless connection automatic instead of having to enter the key each time? [04:19] in docs it says "enter root and your root password" [04:19] yet root is disable by default. [04:19] my normal user account is also added to lpadmin so this should work, correct? [04:19] Renatus: WPA2-AES with a 63 character string of random ascii for a passphrase === mint is now known as Deeeez [04:19] anyone here who might be able to help me with setting up a connection to a SMB share? [04:20] HOLY MOLY [04:20] I figured it out [04:20] uhh [04:20] well its not my network [04:20] adduser --home /home/ts3 ts3....worked [04:20] created the account and built the home directory [04:20] alo [04:21] alo [04:21] I'm from vietnam [04:22] hello ha [04:23] hii [04:23] ;] [04:23] hi [04:23] I need some help with setup of my wifi on ubuntu [04:24] litl prob with vine [04:24] wine sory [04:24] I am using 9.10 and have M1210 [04:25] demsg says .. Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG/BG Network [04:25] can an expert here give me a hand setting up this one. [04:25] hey all. I have a question that I'm not sure where to ask. It involves a project created in MonoDevelop and an issue I am having with debuild trying to turn it into a deb [04:25] I tried rutilt and it scans well but connect with profile seems to do nothing and it fails [04:26] mono.. :( [04:26] rutilt hangs === sol is now known as Guest89594 [04:26] can someone please help me with the issue I am facing with my network card [04:27] ZykoticK9: the correct syntax is "ls -d */" to get a directory listing. [04:27] your help is greatly appreciated [04:28] any ubuntu wifi experts in here?? [04:28] scunizi, ok that's kinda a "work-around" but it works :) thanks, now i know and you did use -d :) [04:28] Morell: found it.. ls -d */ .. to get a list of the directories in the directory that you're in. [04:28] ZykoticK9: had to go to #linux to get the answer :( [04:28] sumone know a bout simbian device locks? [04:29] ;] [04:29] ZykoticK9 do you know about ubuntu wifi [04:29] I need some help [04:29] adobe-flashplugin has no installation candidate, when i try to install it on firefox? [04:29] can anyone think of a reason why my system would lag over time [04:29] it runs great when i first boot up but it seems like the speed degrades over time, it doesnt get unbearable but its very noticeable, i thought only windows had this problem :/ [04:29] brandon- try using top and figure out what processes [04:30] are running [04:30] kk [04:30] Renatus1: when's the last time you updated the package list? [04:30] when you are logged into one account how to do you su to root [04:30] I need help with setting up my wifi [04:30] Is it su - [04:30] AnotherNewbie219, sorry man, wifi has always "just worked" for me on Ubuntu - haven't done much troubleshooting, i've certainly never even heard of rutilt before. good luck man. [04:30] Renatus1: install flashplugin-installer [04:30] sudo -i [04:31] any ubuntu wifi experts in here [04:31] I need help with my network card wifi [04:31] recently upgraded to 9.10 and regret that [04:31] Renatus1: or simply "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras" [04:31] network fails :( [04:31] how can i load ubuntu from a cd and load emacs and save it, keep it, so when i reboot i still have it [04:31] scunizi: Yes, that works. Thanks [04:31] ty sir [04:32] so my laptop is setup to suspend after 20 minutes of inactivity. Can I further set it to transition to hibernate after 2hrs? Will it auto transition to hibernate when battery get low? (my puter eats some whiel in suspend) [04:32] jack5463: you can't from the live cd. take a look at !usb [04:32] jack5463, usb drive instead with persistance would do what you wanted, from CD there is no method to save (except to an external USB or HD) [04:32] Renatus1: it'll give you other "restricted" formats as well. [04:33] scunizi, any idea about troubleshootin wifi issues [04:33] why are they restricted? [04:33] any experts in here on that [04:33] can i use both cd and usb drive? [04:33] is there a channel for UNR? [04:33] what is UNR? [04:33] Renatus1: they are not totally free.. and may have some copywrite restrictions in some countries.. [04:33] never mind..this account isn't in the sudoers file [04:33] !usb | jack5463 [04:33] jack5463: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [04:33] jiohdi, you're in it :) [04:34] UNR= Ubuntu netbook remix [04:34] jack5463: this is what you want https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [04:34] AnotherNewbie219: sorry.. I've always made a point of getting equipment that "just works".. even my Dell I had them upgrade the wireless and graphics cards to easily funtional mfgrs. [04:34] anyone know how to set the screen saver on UNR, there is no gui for it [04:35] ok [04:35] jiohdi, in a terminal run "gnome-screensaver-preferences" [04:35] huh [04:35] i am trying to set postfix + dovecot for a mailserver [04:36] hello [04:36] i can send mail but when i try to send mail from my other mail, it says Relay access denied [04:36] so there is no fix for a Intel card on 9.10 [04:36] why doesn't the OS check for this on install? [04:36] I mean compatibility issue [04:36] AnotherNewbie219: intel wireless? what version.. I'll google and see [04:36] AnotherNewbie219: thats kinda the point of the live cd..for you to check before installing [04:37] intel card works fine for me [04:37] intel graphics and wireless [04:37] what laptop and wireless card? [04:37] Intel (R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG/BG [04:37] AnotherNewbie219, just checking - but you have plugged a cable in and done all available updates then recheck Hardware Drivers correct? [04:37] AnotherNewbie219: and yeah, intel 3945 and 4965 both work fine for me [04:37] AnotherNewbie219: talk to crazy2be .. he's got his working [04:37] I had iwl3945 module loaded [04:37] ok [04:37] ZykoticK9: that seemed to work, however it was not set to screen saver, yet after 5-10 idle min. the screen was blanking [04:37] Anyone out there got a bar code scanner on 'em? http://www.imakmud.com/scanme.odf [04:38] The requested URL /scanme.odf was not found on this server. [04:39] 10-4 thanks [04:39] here's my question [04:39] jiohdi, also check "gnome-power-preferences" [04:39] what programs are there out there that can make me a slideshow of my pictures with decent transitions? [04:40] yesterday i got some help with dual boot, xp pro was installed first then ubuntu i was told i need to boot off my xp cd and fix the MBR, i just done so, fixmbr and it still dont boot [04:40] ZykoticK9: it was not shutting anything down... the screen just goes blank... but stays active sort of... [04:40] crazy2be: probably either kdenlive or LiVeS.. lives is available off getdeb.net [04:40] jiohdi, either the screensave is set to blank screen, or power management is set to blank screen - either would have very similar outcomes [04:41] Hello! Does clamav have a progress bar or some way to know how far along it is? [04:41] ZykoticK9: since neither of them seems set, any other way to adjust the settings? [04:41] jiohdi, not that I'm aware of... good luck man. [04:41] how do i check for all the drivers providied by a pkg? [04:42] I downloaded Realplayer, what are the steps to install it ? [04:42] ZykoticK9: thanks anyways... do you have a netbook? [04:42] anyone here used clamav to scan a windows computer? [04:43] jiohdi, ya the EEE 701, but the 8GB model (old by todays standards) [04:43] okay so even after i installed all those restricted formats, firefox always crashes when theres a flash plugin [04:43] ZykoticK9: I am using it with great success other than the screensaver... on an acer revo nettop [04:43] Bar code scanner test anyone: http://www.imakmud.com/scanme.odt [04:43] Renatus1: did you do an upgrade of your system from one release to anther? [04:44] Gonna put that outside my door at work. [04:44] no i've recently installed ubuntu 9.1 [04:44] anyone here used clamav to scan a windows computer? [04:44] !repeat | Guest24147 [04:44] Guest24147: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [04:44] Renatus1: do you also have either gnash or the flashplugin-nonfree installed? [04:45] no [04:45] so my laptop is setup to suspend after 20 minutes of inactivity. Can I further set it to transition to hibernate after 2hrs? Will it auto transition to hibernate when battery get low? (my puter eats some whiel in suspend) [04:45] ZykoticK9, happen to know the dual boot trigger so i can go read again? [04:45] renatus, go to the adobe.com and get flash from there [04:45] Guest24147, running it from terminal? [04:45] crazy2be: yes - from the systemrescue cd [04:45] web1109: few laptops have support for hybrid suspend at all (in hardware) and support for it in linux is shaky at best :-/ [04:46] !dualboot > Dr-Digi [04:46] Dr-Digi, please see my private message [04:46] yeah i cant because firefox just crashes [04:46] Renatus1: might be worth checking.. open System>Admin>Synaptic Package Manager and use the search bar by entering flash.. look at all the packages that show up and you'll be able to tell if one of them or both are installed. if so uninstall [04:46] web1109: if you know that your hardware supports it, i bet there are folks that'd be interested in your help with testing though [04:47] maco: i thought hybrid was when it always writes the hiberfil file and just timed out the suspend, no? [04:47] maco: do you mean that different hardware may or may not keep track of time while in suspend? [04:47] okay, i uninstalled it [04:48] Renatus1: which one? [04:48] web1109: hmmm? im not sure what you mean. i just know that suspend2ram followed by "oops getting low" and switching to suspend2disk is hybrid and not supported by much hardware [04:48] flashplugin-nonfree [04:48] Renatus1: good.. close FF and open again.. then test [04:48] i think i just about done every single step without ever reading any of it, and then done it following the guide and still no luck damnit [04:48] web1109: i know it *is* possible in linux to tell the computer to wake up after a certain amount of time (again, depending on how well your hardware is supported) and i suppose you could script it to then suspend to disk (hibernate) after that... [04:49] okay, there we go [04:49] maco: hmm exactly the scenario that worked million time across many xp machines since circa 2003... for me [04:49] web1109: however there is no nice graphical way to do this [04:49] Renatus1: Viola! [04:49] so should i install it from adobe.com now? [04:49] its been a long day fixing all my clients issues and i come home to my own... i just want to go to bed [04:49] web1109: on xp was it "wake up after $time and hibernate" or "wake up when you get low and hibernate"? [04:49] Renatus1: nope.. already done.. you did that with the ubuntu-restricted-extras.. the easiest way :) [04:49] Renatus1, i know this is probably bordering on blaspheme in this channel, but you might want to checkout Google Chrome (I didn't initially like it, but have come to LOVE it - much fewer problems with FF) [04:50] ah okay, i love google chrome, i have it installed, but it wont even launch [04:50] maco: it was timed [04:50] how can i completely remove gnome and all of its default programs? [04:50] maco: so suspend after 15 minutes of inactivity, then it would transition to hibernate after 2hrs [04:50] web1109: oh ok. yeah that is supported assuming your hardware doesnt hate linux, however there's not an easy way to do it [04:50] how can i completely remove gnome and all of its default programs? i want to switch to kde entirely [04:50] jschall: and keep only kde? [04:50] off topic: whats a good channel for web development? [04:50] IdleOne: yeah [04:50] Hello [04:51] !purekde | jschall [04:51] jschall: If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE » [04:51] !purekde | jschall [04:51] how long would you think it would take to run clamscan on a 350 GB harddrive (Pentium 4) [04:51] maco: so the timer way is more common? is there actually hardware that while in suspend could sense low battery and wake up to hibernate? [04:51] web1109: i only know that its possible to tell it to wake up after a certain amount of time because there wasa bunch of suspend testing a while back where the test script did that [04:51] IdleOne: beat you to it :) [04:51] scunizi: team work :) [04:51] web1109: yes, there is hardware that could sense low battery and switch to hibernate. thats what i thought you were asking about. it's not common hardware [04:51] I'm trying to install on my macbook pro... I want to install over the network. I created a small partition that I could boot from, but I don't know what files need to go on the partition to start the install process [04:51] I need help installin my soundcard in Ubuntu 9.10, anyone willing to help? [04:51] thanks [04:52] jschall: welcome [04:53] IdleOne: now that's teamwork lol .. [04:53] maco: thanks for clearing this up for me =] So should I just set sleep_type_battery to hiberate? [04:53] web1109: i dont know how to do it, but this was the test script and it does it in there somewhere: http://people.canonical.com/~apw/suspend-resume/test-suspend [04:54] so how do i find the ssid for my wireless network? [04:54] web1109: so, theoretically, you could write a script that sets an alarm an then suspends and then resumes after a while then hibernates ... and use that instead of a normal call to "pm-suspend" [04:54] web1109: this sounds like the sort of thing i should try ^_^ [04:54] maco: thanks for the link, I'm glad to know there is interest towards this functionality. On this system though I wanna keep it stock & configure via gui [04:55] Renatus1, ssid = wireless network name, you could find it on the router setup, or browse for it if it's being broadcast [04:55] maco: yeah hibernate on inactivity works great, except now I need to choose a good time compromise, so it doesn't go to hibernate too soon, yet so I don't often wait for it to unhibernate [04:56] is there something similar to system-config-display for ubuntu? [04:56] Renatus1: go to your browser and type http://192.168.1.1 [04:56] hey guys - I'm on a livecd trying to use the partitioner to extend my home directory through 80gb of unallocated data, but I can't seem to select it. Would anybody know why? [04:57] Anybody a genious with IPTABLES? [04:57] maco: I think of running a test to see how long it would keep the charge on suspend, but I don't want to risk it just shutting off without clean shutdown... so I'm gonna have to go with hibernate it seems [04:58] Roasted: is the unmounted? [04:58] Does anyone know how to install something (perhaps using ivman) so that when a cdrom is inserted a script is run? I need to do this from command line, so don't want it to be in a gnome file or something. [04:58] IdleOne, yes. [04:58] IdleOne, it started with 2 unallocated partitions. I couldnt understand why they werent grouped together. [04:58] web1109: you can extrapolate... my laptop used to reach 50% after 6 hours, so i knew it was 12hr max suspend time. (it now has a 24hr suspend time, yay) [04:59] IdleOne, I expanded through the first unallocated partition which was only 7gb. but it wont take on the 2nd one @ 80gb. [04:59] Roasted: if they are unallocated and contingent (next to each other) how about just deleting them and creating one large one.? [05:00] maco: ah nice tip to find out the limits. But then I'd have to remember to wake&hibernate or plug it in =] [05:00] scunizi: after resizing doesn't gparted auto mount the partition? [05:00] scunizi, because I have data in my home partition.... I need the home partition to take over the rest of the drive thats unallocated. [05:00] web1109 have you a setting for what to do when battery critically low in power managment... set that and the do ya test... [05:01] IdleOne: no. not unless you tell it to [05:01] Roasted: ok.. perhaps deleting the empty one then try to increase the size of the other [05:01] scunizi, the empty one is deleted. its unallocated. [05:02] hello this will only take one min of your time and will allow me to get access to the greatest electronic music library just click and close thanks! http://0day.musicore.net/?release=2567 [05:02] Roasted: unallocated doesn't mean it's gone [05:02] web1109: what i do with mine is that if i shut the lid while unplugged, it'll suspend but if it turns off due to low battery, it'll hibernate. i figure i'll only be shutting the lid if i'm shoving it in a backpack or leaving it alone for a while, so... [05:02] Roasted: delete the unallocated partition then resize your /home [05:02] Roasted: ah.. I misunderstood.. then let's do the reverse.. format it with the same filesystem as /home.. and *then* stretch /home [05:02] IdleOne, I did delete it. Theres no deleting. The only option I have is to create new. It's gone. [05:02] how do I stop pulseaudio so I can use Jack? [05:02] iflema: as I currently understand, karmic would only go to hibernate if the sytem is not suspended. And I don't want it to just power off uncleanly when battery dies on suspend [05:03] Roasted: ahh ok. try what scunizi just suggested [05:03] Fezzler, [# chmod -x /usr/bin/pulseaudio] [05:03] Fezzler, then use jack [05:03] how can i make a program that accesses the keyring have to ask for permission again after choosing "Always Allow"? [05:03] i used "ubuntu image writer" and it messed up my dads usb drive :/ [05:03] how do i turn it back to normal :( [05:03] then [# chmod +x /usr/bin/pulseaudio] to let pulseaudio run again (thats what chmod +/- x does) [05:03] maco: your last comment creeped confusion back into my head, I thought I had it... [05:03] web1109, does it die uncleanly, it was my experience that it would come back from suspend then shutdown normally [05:03] barcode: messed up? all it would've done is erase what's on it and install ubuntu on it instead... [05:04] wolter>> huge latency with pusleaudio in jack [05:04] barcode: just format it to erase ubuntu... [05:04] i burnt a image file on it [05:04] scunizi, no dice. In fact, once I created the new EXT4 partiion, its weird. its kind of lined up differently than swap/root/home. [05:04] and it make 3 different partitions [05:04] scunizi, is that a red flag its a different type? [05:04] wolter>> I have jack running [05:04] i burnt chrome os on it [05:04] web1109: er, i dont use gnome. you might not have such options... [05:04] usser: I'm afraid to test if it dies uncleanly! [05:04] Fezzler, so, whats wrong with the commands i told you to run? [05:04] web1109 go on... happens to me during storms all the time... sudden blackouts that is... [05:04] web1109: but in kde, i can have a "if i shut the lid while unplugged: suspend" and "if it is on and unplugged and the battery gets really low: hibernate" [05:05] Roasted: is /home also ext4? and by lined up differently ..how do you mean? [05:05] maco: but what about "if it's in suspend and battery gets low" [05:05] scunizi, I mean physically, on the left side where it says /dev/sda*, its lined up differently. [05:05] hello this will only take one min of your time and will allow me to get access to the greatest electronic music library just click and close thanks! http://0day.musicore.net/?release=2567 I NEED 100 HITS [05:06] web1109: no, no option for that. though now i'm thinking i'll try (ahem, keyword) to implement such a feature for 10.10 [05:06] scunizi, let me try and type up in pastebin how it looks to me, 1 second bro. [05:06] i need help :/ [05:06] i tried reformating the flash drive [05:06] but i cant erase the stuff [05:06] Roasted: you can screenshot it. and paste that. [05:06] web1109: er, i mean to implement the timer based one, not the battery level one [05:06] web1109: the battery level one requires hardware that supports that and thats not common [05:06] scunizi, Im not on that computer. Im almost done typing it, 1 sec [05:07] Roasted:k [05:07] maco: oh you are a developer. nice, very good to see you interested in this function! [05:07] maco: yeah timer based is sufficient [05:07] web1109: oh yes i was wishing i had hardware that could do the battery based one. what you're saying sounds like the perfect way to fake it! [05:07] scunizi, http://pastebin.com/m7cbb7484 [05:07] scunizi, sda3 is the problematic one. I want it to merge with sda7. [05:08] Why do I have to add accounts everytime I restart pidgin? [05:08] <-- confused again, fake what? [05:08] wolter>> didn't work [05:08] wolter>> even closed jack and ardour and restarted [05:09] web1109: since most hardware cant do battery-based, timer-based seems like a good way to get a similar effect for people with normal hardware [05:09] my flashdrive: http://pastebin.com/m6d3c45ff :( [05:09] web1109: so you just gave me a way to get what i want :) [05:09] maco: ok, i understand. [05:09] Fezzler, but is pulseaudio keep running? you have to [$ pkill pulseaudio] after you run the first command, but i thought you knew that [05:09] Fezzler, when you finish you do the chmod +x command [05:10] Roasted: I see that.. I think what the issue is, is that sda3 is a primary partition and sda7 which is /home is inside an extended partition.. the 2 are mutually exclusive.. how large is sda7? [05:10] scunizi, sda7 is 105gb [05:10] how do I install a theme into compiz? [05:11] missing operand [05:11] scunizi, what happened was I had a 160gb hdd and my boss got me a 250gb hdd. Using a DD cloner at work, I just cloned them, which dumped 160's contents + partitions on the 250 as-is, leaving the 83-ishgb unallocated at the end. I assumed I could just use gparted to extend /home accordingly. [05:11] Using Xubuntu 9.10, I changed the resolution of one user, and now that user cannot log in - GDM keeps restarting. Other users can log in just fine. How can I change the resolution for that user back to a good setting? [05:11] Roasted: well to make it work you're going to have to delete the sda3 partition and then create it in the Extended partition.. [05:11] maco: well now I understand the current limitations and will look forward to future release. And currently I'll user the hibernate on inactivity, not big deal, compared to that before karmic it would hibernate =] [05:12] scunizi, deleting sda3 isnt a problem. What do I need to do exactly? delete sda7 + sda3 and create 1 large one? [05:12] F223, compiz doesn't really use themes. are you talking about Emerald? what theme is it? [05:13] in Karmic, how can I force to boot with a safe resolution? just plugged in a new LCD TV and by the time gnome/gdm starts it just says "Unsupported" on my blue screen. It works in CLI just fine. [05:13] ah, got it working :) [05:13] had to DL emerald [05:13] maco: err I meant before karmic I had more troubles on battery. [05:14] Roasted: no.. delete sda3. It is currently a primary partition.. with that space available you'll need to use it to create another partition in the Extended portion of the drive.. [05:14] hmmmm... I'm enabling the theme by doing "emerald --replace", do I have to keep that terminal window open all the time for the theme to stay eneabled? [05:15] enabled* [05:15] scunizi, not entirely sure I know how to do that... Im a little lost by what you mean "create it within the extended portion of the drive" [05:15] scunizi, do I just need to have sda2 highlighted when I create it , or what? [05:16] Roasted: look at your pastebin.. you'll see sda1 is the widows side.. then sda2 is labeled "Extended".. inside of that is Swap, sda6 and sda7 [05:16] How do i find the BSSID of my router === EcKstasy is now known as JNSamuel [05:17] Roasted: Extended partitions get around the 4 primary partiton limitation of harddrives [05:17] ok while working with my sansa fuze I tried to get it to work with banshee in MTP, wasnt working so I just said forget it and used MSC. I now have TWO problems. One: It shows two devices whenever I plug in my sansa, Two: I accidentally told it to automagically open banshee whenever it is plugged in. where do I change that? [05:17] I'm trying to generate a 10000 bit RSA key, but I think my /dev/random has dried up..how can I replenish it? [05:18] hi all! im trying to use rlwrap to get around the missing ctrl-R, history readline functionality missing from mysql by using rlwrap -a mysql [05:18] rj1, re banshee-auto opening -- open Nautilus (the file manager), Edit / Preferences - Media tab -- Music Player [05:18] scunizi, I dont understand entirely. If I create a new partition, I HAVE to create a primary one - extended is not an option. But youre saying I have to create it within sda2... but I dont understand how I force the partition Im maknig to be under sda2 when the only option I have is primary. [05:19] seede, how would you feel about using /dev/urandom? [05:19] but when i ctrl or type up to view history it looks like "use\040foo;" or "show\040databases" anyone know why the whitespaces are being replaced with \040? [05:19] Why doesn't ubuntu use a real time kernel by default? [05:19] Roasted: hummm.. let me look at my version of gparted [05:19] COuld someone offer up some recommendations as to the best partitioning plan if I plan to have some type of scheduled backup to a external or network drive... What I mean is what do I want on separate partitions so that reinstatement will be much easier? [05:20] semitones: It's unstable, there is a chance that two processes could try to manipulate the same data at the same time and cause instability. [05:20] James_-_: you may want to separate /home [05:20] hi everyone [05:21] i want to build a few packages from source on my rather limited netbook. i do not want to permanently install all the build requirements on it. is there a nice and simple way to sandbox all of it? [05:21] katyl: hmm, ok. Why is it used in Ubuntu Studio then? [05:21] how to restart the wireless connection afer kill some wireless processes(for some testing) [05:22] semitones: realtime kernels don't perform the way most people want a computer to perform [05:22] DVS01 yea I was thinking /home was a given... but where would other user controlled or defined setting and such be stored that I would want to have restored quickly if things went bad [05:22] katyl: Flannel: it was something about low latency that I don't understand [05:22] James_-_: /etc holds a lot of settings [05:22] ok thanks [05:22] /usr/local/ perhaps, depending on what you got installed [05:23] you have to get a bit more acquainted with what exactly you're trying to accomplish though [05:23] Roasted: ok.. not sure if this will work but you may have to actually extend/stretch the Extended partition first after deleting sda3.. if that works then extend sda7 from inside the extended partition. [05:24] scunizi, youre suggesting to extend sda2, not sda7? [05:24] DVS01 ok, my goal is to build a dream desktop... just want to get a good game plan going, I have 4 linux servers and a few other linux boxes most all Ubuntu... tonight is the start of a new desktop workstation for my home office [05:25] Roasted: yes as the first step.. because sda7 is actually inside the sda2 container.. if that makes sense. [05:25] scunizi, I hereby declare you, sir, a genius. [05:25] Roasted: process of elimination.. is it working? [05:25] scunizi, Once I expanded sda2, I was able to apply the space to sda7. [05:26] scunizi, yeah, 2/3 steps done [05:26] Roasted: YEA! [05:26] done, rebooting [05:26] scunizi, youre the man. thanks a lot. saved me a lot of headache. [05:27] Roasted: took a while but it's something I won't forget :).. glad to help [05:27] james_-_ put all 4 of ya servers on a vm and save on the power bills :) [05:27] Hi! [05:27] I got a few questions about the, ruby, python, and java packages found on cydia === tato is now known as tato42 [05:28] oops [05:28] my bad [05:28] wrong channel [05:28] Hey guys, I am trying to get into display settings and all I get is this message: http://pastium.org/view/bd774f4e0fcc6e60e568ccebbb2df646 [05:28] I am using vmware [05:28] *facepalms* [05:29] Ohi there [05:29] so no one knows why rlwrap might change whitespace into "\040" ? [05:29] vmware player rather [05:29] sdwrage: and this error is from the guest OS ?? [05:30] Okay, so I'm about to uninstall ubuntu just because it wont save my WEP key!!!!! [05:30] How um... do I join a wireless network on a freash install [05:30] sdwrage: you're probably better off asking in #vmware [05:30] I am new to ubuntu [05:30] hi, i have a problem when booting from the 9.10 64 bit installer cd. I can move the marker up and down, but nothing happens if i press enter on "Install Ubuntu" and "Try to install without any changes". Only choice that works is boot from first harddrive. Anyyone know what this can be? Tried searching but it's a bit hard to define in search. [05:30] Renatus: wep is pretty horrible anyway.. have you tried wpa? [05:30] Renatus, how , it works fine for me [05:31] scunizi, yes [05:31] Wine and playonlinux works for me, but whenever I install an app it says that it cannot be configured: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m3b89b0cf. Anyone have any ideas? [05:31] i have to manually enter the wep key every time i log on or off, it just wont save it in the network manager === Darth_Vader_ is now known as The_Thing [05:32] Renatus, after making a success connection, the system will connect to the original AP automatically next time [05:33] Renatus, make sure the wired line is cut off' [05:33] But it doesnt! I have to lookup the wireless networks, click on mine, and enter the 26 digit wep key each time, and the only wire plugged in is the power cable right now [05:33] niaka have you tried [05:33] Renatus, do not use WEP, it is so risk [05:33] Renatus: I think what he means is to disable "wired" in ubuntu's connection manager [05:34] how do i install php 5.2.10? [05:34] okay [05:34] scunizi, know what it could be? [05:34] and I have no choice but to use WEP because my dad has the network set up the way he wants it [05:34] wait this seems relevent to what I need to know! [05:34] Hello there, completely new user to ubuntu [05:35] is there a way to get the like.. wireless network thing to show up like it does on windows? [05:35] scunizi, you can change it anyway , it is not safe mate [05:35] like.. networks' names and their associated security [05:35] Renatus: suggest this to your dad.. you'd be better off turning wep off, turn off ssid broadcast and limit wireless connections to MAC addresses you manually enter in the router [05:35] sdwrage: #vmware [05:36] but then at my university they use WEP keys soooo i dont think i could convince them that [05:36] Renatus: then show him this post to convince him.. http://ubuntulinuxhelp.com/using-ubuntu-to-crack-wep/ [05:36] Renatus, scunizi ,you just need to use wpa2, never wep , it can be cracked in less than one minute [05:37] That's provided someone would be bored enough to try to hack the network =P [05:37] ouyes: I'm aware of that.. looks like Renatus 's university isn't [05:37] So, there isn't a way I take it? [05:37] Okay, well I know that wpa is better, but theres still the question of why wont it save the key? [05:38] scunizi, renatus's university?it is none of its bussiness [05:38] Renatus: have you changed your login password? in Jaunty I changed my login (sudo) password and that caused problems with keyring [05:39] Renatus: maybe this will help http://mediakey.dk/~cc/howto-use-wep-encryption-with-ubuntu-linux/ [05:39] no, its been the same, but i do have an error that comes up about ICEauthority [05:39] Renatus, frankly, i have no idea, maybe you just had bad luck [05:39] seede: is that \040 (octal?) or 0x40 (hex)? [05:39] haha okay, well thanks anyways [05:40] Renatus: does it remember you schools key? [05:40] Renatus, its probably not wep that they use, rather dynamic wep with RADIUS authentication, its much more secure than wep or wpa [05:40] well, I dont know, I installed ubuntu today but I'll be able to see tomorrow [05:41] HelloThere click once on the end to end maracas near the clock it looks like two ends plugged together [05:41] Renatus, which version of ubuntu ? [05:41] 9.1 [05:41] Why isnt Sharing Options showing up in contextual menu in nautilus. nautilus-share is installed [05:41] Renatus, is it a regular release? [05:41] I modified a panel to autohide on right side. It seems to be gone forever. Its not popping back. Is there a shortcut or way to show all panels? [05:42] I d/led it from the website and burned it onto a CD [05:42] Renatus.-> it's 9.10 [05:42] Renatus, 9.1 you sure? [05:42] 9.10 [05:42] wait what, iflema? [05:43] Renatus: when you connected to you home wifi, did it just ask you for wifi key or also for sudo password? [05:43] I'm having problems registering SHDOCVW.DLL. I get the error message err:module:find_forwarded_export function not found for forward 'shlwapi.SHOpenRegStreamA' used by L"C:\\windows\\system32\\shell32.dll".

[05:44] Rubyiris.-> First, use WINE Repository and not Ubuntu one. Then goto #winehq. [05:44] ? [05:45] hei , does anyone know how to restart the wireless connection after killing all the process related to wireless? [05:45] Rubyiris.-> WInehq website far more updated version then one in ubuntu repository. [05:45] wwhats a repository. [05:45] Rubyiris: seems like you'd be better off putting all that in the #wine channel [05:45] The #wine channel is pretty chirpy usually [05:45] onetinsoldier.-> #winehq [05:45] scunizi, the website you give about cracking the wep in ubuntu is out of date [05:46] perscitus: ahh, thanks [05:46] keepsake, thanks, unchecking autohide on panels_'s did the job. Seems there are lots of settings to modify here. [05:46] tolpico: Yup, it's best to fool around and learn about ubuntu =P [05:46] ouyes: yes.. but the concept is what I was trying to get across.. cracking web has been around for some time [05:46] ouyes: do you still have the network icon in top panel? [05:46] Hm, so this is the error im getting when i click reload on synaptic, "W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net karmic Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 5A9BF3BB4E5E17B5" [05:46] Rubyiris: try join the #winehq channel ;) [05:46] Why isnt Sharing Options showing up in contextual menu in nautilus. nautilus-share is installed [05:47] when you use an ssh tunnel does it send all your traffic through the remote server / [05:47] perscitus: if you just installed log out and back in again [05:47] Renatus: The keyring is broken [05:47] scunizi.-> Doesnt matter. [05:47] What do you suggest I do than? [05:47] web1109, yes after kill some process related to the wireless, i have the icon, but there is no ap found [05:48] try alt-f2 nm-applet [05:48] Flannel: I'm not sure whether that is octal or hex, the literal string I have looks like "show\040tables;" so I guess octal [05:48] ouyes: rightclickin on that icon - are there two checkboxes for wired and wireless?

[05:49] anyone familiar with initramfs hooks and cryptsetup? [05:49] web1109, no just one ,writes "enable networking" [05:50] perhaps i should try a different approach. [05:50] ouyes: while usualy it has both wired and wireless, right? you on karmic? [05:51] help, i'm not prompted for my luks passphrase at boot and nothing i've done has fixed it. [05:51] Guest41731: check the certificate [05:51] scunizi.-> I opened nautilus then killall nautilus. works now [05:51] web1109, yes as usual, but my situation is not as usual, i am on 9.04. [05:51] perscitus: that works :) [05:51] So how can I fix my keyring? [05:51] * citbun is away (disconnecting...) [05:51] What do I install to share files between Ubuntu installs? [05:52] ouyes: i dunno, maybe try killing the applet process and then restart it [05:52] Gest41731 local lan as in private not public. [05:52] Renatus1: In terminal: "gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 4E5E17B5", and then "gpg --export --armor 4E5E17B5 | sudo apt-key add -" [05:52] you can setup a local deb ftp or u can do a ssh to the other systems or u can rsync [05:52] perscitus: You can use Ubuntu One or some sort of backup/sync client [05:52] to share files [05:53] u can tar up anitying and transfer it via ssh/sftp [05:53] it says permission denied [05:53] when you use an ssh tunnel does it send all your traffic through the remote server ?????/ [05:53] or just plain ftp [05:53] Renatus1: What's wrong with it? [05:53] Renatus1: Sudo all of it [05:53] nope [05:53] clicker4721.-> No and no [05:53] ouyes: nm-applet would be the command to start it again [05:53] oh, thought i did heh [05:53] perscitus: Does that mean you've already tried them both? [05:54] clicker4721.-> They arent options [05:54] web1101a, i use the command "kill PID" to kill some process, what is the command to start some process? [05:54] Sharing files between ubuntu installs is done easiest just by... copy/pasting [05:54] D= [05:54] perscitus: Then you're screwed. Unless you have one of those fancy USB/FireWire sync gizmos. [05:55] clicker4721.-> And you probably dont know how then [05:55] how to show the running processes's pid in the terminal [05:55] according to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkManager, alt-f2 then type nm-applet --sm-disable [05:55] okay, i really don't know how to describe the problem i'm having in detail in a short sentence. the best way i can say it is that the initramfs image is no longer hooking the script that prompts me to mount my luks partition at boot which throws me into a busybox shell letting me know the root device can't be found. [05:55] ouyes: top [05:56] ouyes: ps -ef [05:56] that being said, it'd be great if someone in here could help me. [05:56] guest3235: Re-install. Unless you've already done a lot of stuff, it's free anyway. Just copy off your most important files and re-install. [05:56] iosiris3316 [05:56] ouyes: or another command would be like --> ps aux [05:56] Must I? [05:56] ouyes, web1109, onetinsoldier: top is a little prettier =P [05:56] re-install is always an easy thing to do too =) [05:57] True, but I have a lot on this system.

[05:57] i desperately need help, karmic doesn't recognize my onboard ac97 audio. i got alsa info script link if someone is interested [05:57] guest3234: Sync it off; re-install. [05:57] keepsake: but does it list all processes? [05:58] the problem is just that the initramfs image isn't loading the cryptodisks hook at boot. [05:58] web1109: Pretty sure it does. [05:58] keepsake, where? [05:58] do i really need to reinstall for that. [05:58] ouyes: Just type "top" in console [05:58] top [05:58] guest3234: Oh, more than just home? Try, when you re-install manually partitioning it to avoid overwriting partitions #2-4 ( your /home, /usr, and /somethingelse) ) and [05:58] Renatus1: you solved your problem? [05:59] ouyes: Yeah, "top" [05:59] keepsake, ah mate yes top [05:59] guest3234: My bad, that's all. [05:59] how to install php 5.2.10 ?

[06:00] It's one giant partition. [06:00] encrypted partition. [06:00] brian: If you want to take the time to set up WINE, anything will work. And a YouTube converter can just be a FireFox add-on. [06:00] guest3234: One? Did you do that manually? [06:00] i can manually run cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda1 crypt1 while in the initramfs busybox shell, but it doesn't continue booting. [06:00] ok if i have a drive that isn't mounting on boot how do i make it mount at boot? [06:00] Nope, alternate installer. [06:00] ouyes: Why not just type the name of the process? [06:01] Does linux have anything not needing wine to run itunes? [06:01] guest3234: Whoa! Just left my league! [06:01] keepsake, that is it ,quite easy? [06:01] ouyes: Except, append a & at the end, so for example, "firefox &" instead of "firefox" [06:01] brian: You can use a feathers on SongBird. http://www.getsongbird.com/ [06:01] there is a small unencrypted partition to load grub and the initramfs images, but other than that, the rest of the hard drive is encrypted. [06:01] ouyes: That'll start the process in the background so you can keep using the terminal. [06:01] i'm in a xubuntu livecd environment right now. [06:02] keepsake: wouldn't that process be terminated on closing the console widnow? === sebi_` is now known as sebi` [06:02] i can manually mount the luks partition, it just won't prompt for my passphrase at boot anymore. [06:02] web1109: I don't think so. [06:02] there's a launchpad bug describing my problem, if anyone is interested. [06:03] brian virtualbox... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone [06:03] previously made by someone else besides me. [06:03] guest3234: I don't know what to tell you...just copy off everything you can. I would re-install, but it sounds like you have much more expertise than me. Anyway, if I happened to be you I would know I was screwed and re-install. [06:03] Hey guys. Trying to install unbuntu(hardy) through a netboot on my new eee-pc, but am running into troubles detecting the ethernet device. eth0/wan0 don't seem to be detected at all. Anyone had any similar issues in the past? [06:03] web1109: Oh, I'm dumb, it does. Then again, if you have GUI, you'd alt+f2 or something [06:03] |404NotFound|: Are you still here? [06:03] <|404NotFound|> keepsake, yes [06:03] * guest3234 shrugs [06:03] I guess I could do that.

[06:05] guest3234: I could only get suspend to work. I gave up on hibernate. Sorry, mate...good luck. [06:05] Why does the new GDM for Karmic suck so much?! [06:06] web1109, no mate , it is another issue with my t400's sound [06:06] TheGreatBunghole: it doesn't [06:06] web1109, thinkpad t400, maybe the wrong sound driver [06:06] not very easy to change themes for GDM now though... [06:06] TheGreatBunghole: If you don't like it, do what I did: search http://maketecheasier.com/ for the Mac4Lin instructions. If you do them right, you can swear to all you friends you're using a beta MacOSX. =D [06:07] do your talk about ubuntu everytime? [06:07] here [06:07] hane: Got a better idea on the Ubuntu channel?

[06:08] i just learn english and this too compilcated [06:08] I've gotten a standard Ubuntu 9.10 clean install up and running, any reason why it eats over half of my available ram just being idle? [06:08] :) [06:08] the point of the channel called ubuntu.. is for ubuntu talk [06:08] that seems as straight forward as can be [06:08] clicker4721: I, too, am all Ubuntu--I'd tried other Linux but nothing else worked. Anyway, I wanted to try a Mac anyway, so...Wha-bammie! [06:09] hane: What language do you speak natively? [06:09] turkish [06:09] Ah, tracked my error.

I'm having trouble following all the conversatin lol [06:10] James_-_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4587202&postcount=9 [06:10] morphix: Yeah, i plan on updating the kernel once i get it installed [06:10] nzCam: I think you should thry jolicloud =) [06:10] TheGreatBunghole: I wanted to try out Jolicloud for a little while, but I like gOS more. http://thinkgos.com/ [06:10] Though, i did find https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC/Fixes [06:10] I'll give that a whirl. [06:10] :) that s easy way [06:11] web1109, well, leave the wireless problem a little while , thanks [06:11] hane: So what if it's cheating, it gets the job done! :P [06:11] i got an onboard audio problem: it's not listed on cat /proc/asound/cards [06:11] :) [06:11] Man, you people have more problems than a stick in the mud!!! [06:12] !ot | hane, clicker4721 [06:12] no one process is taking all my ram [06:12] hane, clicker4721: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [06:12] clicker4721: yeah but when stuff works it's quite awesome! [06:12] it's got to be all the crap it put in by default that i'd never use [06:12] keepskake: ??? [06:12] ubottu: I've been sticking to Ubuntu... [06:12] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:12] bluetooth?! theres bluetooth for computers? lol theres one right there [06:12] Talon_: Then how do you know half of your ram is being taken up? [06:13] because 500+Mib is taken up out of my 1gb [06:13] clicker4721: I think I might try gOS on my laptop... (My laptop is getting old enough that netbook hardware is starting to look equal) ... Jolicloud worked well on my crap Acer Aspire =) [06:13] web1109: Yeah, so you go to published, proven online tutorials. [06:13] it all adds up, but its divided amongst a crapload of processes [06:13] Talon_: And it's not showing up in gnome-system-monitor? [06:13] Talon_: can you pastebin the output of free -m [06:14] yes it is, thats what i'm saying, no one application is the culperate [06:14] TheGreatBunghole: I don't have any first-hand experience mind you, just aspirations. Anyway, it's either that or the Kubuntu Netbook Remix, which is nothing at all like the UNR. You might wanna check it out, too. [06:14] keepsake thanks for the link but how do i get a prompt when this happens, i have restarted twice after you gave the link and haven't found a way yet [06:14] James_-_: Type "grub" in terminal. [06:15] James_-_: Provided you're using grub<2 [06:15] soon as i start virtualbox i skyrocket from 50% to 83% memory usage and its all way too sluggish to even be effective, whats the minimum ram requirements for Ubuntu? apparently 1gb is not enough [06:16] TheGreatBunghole http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-moblin-remix/releases/9.10/release/ [06:16] clicker4721: Thanks, I will check those out. I haven't heard anything about Kubuntu Netbook Remix, but I will give it a shot too =D [06:16] keepsake I haven't got a terminal yet, apon reboot it shows the normal what hdd are there and then dispalys "GRUB Loading stage1.5. GRUB loading, Please wait.... Error 15 [06:16] Talon_: Ubunut is the guest OS? [06:16] no, ubuntu is the main os === MK is now known as Guest34952 [06:16] James_-_: Can you access recovery console? [06:17] Talon_: Virtualbox takes up quite a bit of RAM, unfortunately. 1GB probably won't let you run another OS very well. [06:17] Talon_: what is the guest os? [06:17] TheGreatBunghole: By-the-way, not the gOS cloud, just plain gOS. And iflema is right, Moblin is another good one. However, I don't like shells that have seperate desktops and netbook presenters, like UNR. [06:17] winxp [06:17] keepsake haven't had the option however can you tell me if I can do it with a live disk [06:17] James_-_: Yes, you can. If you go into recovery mode, you can recover grub. [06:17] hi All want to configure Evolutions email client to access my gmail account [06:17] James_-_: And also enter that prompt [06:17] Talon_: yeah i agree with keepsake, 1gb not enought for host and guest [06:18] brjith: That's easy: Google it. [06:18] keepsake ok let me go try this brb [06:18] thanks [06:18] brijith: That's easy, Google it. [06:18] James_-_: Are you running ubuntu on a secondary computer? [06:18] yes [06:18] I have a slightly daft question I was wondering if a certain program would build okay on ubuntu for arm [06:18] i still dont get why ubuntu uses 50% of my ram without vbox started [06:18] keepsake it is a fresh install not 10m old [06:19] James_-_: Did you install it over something? [06:19] Differentkindof: Sorry, can't help you, over my head. [06:19] The only languages I see on it's sourceforge site is tcl c and c++ [06:19] clicker4721:but the probelm is I am accessing internet through a proxy [06:19] So I think it's feasible [06:19] I've seen some googled pages about making an SSH shortcut. The problem, they tell you to create a link through Nautilus. That opens the remote server in a GUI view, I need a "Shortcut" as it were I can click & have it open up in Terminal. Any Ideas? [06:19] hi i'm facing a weird issue with apache on ubuntu. my .htaccess files are not working correctly even though i have set AllowOverride All. when i checked my apache error log i found that the rewrite rule is getting executed but it says file not found. any clues? [06:19] Talon_: accoring to 'free -m' mine uses 440mb, not much running [06:19] brijith: That blocks http://www.google.com/ [06:19] ??? [06:19] keepsake yes I think and old ubuntu sever 8.04but i had the live disk format everything [06:19] hang on, let me switch irc clients, i run winxp just for mIRC hehe [06:20] James_-_: Are you currently running 9.10? [06:20] keepsake I am installing 9.10 yes [06:20] clicker4721: No worries my needs are getting to this point that I should prolly know to do this from scratch and not expect miracles [06:20] James_-_: You should have a Recovery mode in the boot CD [06:20] clicker4721:no i can access gmail and everything through proxy. But when I setup gmail in evolution It shows some error like can not conect [06:21] free -m shows 692 used [06:21] Differentkindof: I don't even know what's special about ARM, sorry...seen it somewhere, never read the article...I didn't intend any sarcasm. [06:21] vbox is off [06:21] clicker4721:I mean I can access gmail using a browser [06:21] keepsake would that be 'safe graphics mode' under F4 [06:21] Talon_: 692 used, how much cached? [06:21] Talon_: what about the second line? [06:21] 692/988 in use [06:21] James_-_: No, boot the disk normally [06:22] 132 cached [06:22] clicker4721: No worries... One day I'll learn to program myself [06:22] brijith: Hmm...You have to enable POP access on your Gmail account. [06:22] clicker4721:hmm ? [06:22] How can do that ??? [06:22] root@Ubuntu:~# free -m [06:22] total used free shared buffers cached [06:22] Mem: 998 692 306 0 11 132 [06:22] -/+ buffers/cache: 548 450 [06:22] Swap: 2376 151 2225 [06:22] keepsake boot the CD? or the HDD [06:22] Talon_: So you're using about 560 MB, which to be honest is pretty normal =\ === hane is now known as peregrinu [06:22] really? [06:22] Talon_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:22] Talon_: You're actually only using about 150 MB [06:22] clicker4721: also set which ports cause gmail are different from other services [06:23] Talon_: Nowhere near the 700 MB that you think =P [06:23] James_-_: Boot the CD [06:23] keepsake ok booting [06:23] why so much? windows hardly touches my ram... [06:23] keepsake: I think accorinding to second line, discarding cache, he's is truly using 548mb === peregrinu is now known as hane [06:23] which is a tad hgh [06:23] Talon_ im up in gnome, extra things loaded at boot.... footprint a little over 300mb [06:23] brijith: Differentkindof is right, you have to know your ports, too. Any online tutorial should be able to tell you this, but I can't. Just enable POP access, and find a tutorial. All better. [06:24] I need some help making an SSH shortcut. I see on UbuntuForums, they tell you to create a link through Nautilus. That opens the remote server in a GUI view, I need a "Shortcut" as it were I can click & have it open up in Terminal. Any Ideas? [06:24] Yeah it's like 465 for outgoing 995 or something for incoming [06:24] misteralexander: just use the cli dude.. [06:24] Talon_: htop will tell you in pretty colors [06:24] Talon_: Your usage is actually pretty normal, to be honest [06:24] so i need more ram. [06:24] clicker4721:my pop is enable [06:25] clicker4721:in gmail [06:25] Talon_ these days one really does need 3+ gig o ram to have fun...... [06:25] Talon_: Essentially; especially if you're looking to run vbox very well [06:25] crazy [06:25] brijith: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=12103 [06:26] brijith: Now find a tutorial. Differentkindof said it might be port 465 out and port 995 in. It's worth a shot, but I can't guarantee it. [06:26] blakkheim: LOL -- I know, I usually open terminal and type in ' ssh username@server.com ' but (i'm lazy) and just want to double click an icon and have terminal open with the info already there. I can go to Places > Connect To A Server | but that opens the remote server in a GUI, I need it open in Terminal. [06:26] clicker4721:when I posted this issue in a mailing list ,some one told me to change the squid,our proxy, configurations to allow those port [06:26] does kde use less than gnome? [06:26] brijith: Never heard of it. [06:26] Im running of memory on that clicker4721 and brijith [06:26] Talon_: Try xfce instead [06:26] blakkheim: Am I missing a day-one basic step? LOL. [06:26] Talon_: xfce is supposed to be the lightest [06:26] Talon_: gnome, kde and xfce are all bloated [06:26] Differentkindof: ??? [06:26] Talon_: not last time i checked, what is your ram usage on fresh boot? the spot that said 548 [06:27] Memory on a tech call last night (server ports) [06:27] clicker4721:but I didn't got any further info, like what are the ports [06:27] Differentkindof: I don't know what that is...sorry again. [06:27] clicker4721:or which line to edit etc .. [06:28] brijith: We just said some...just plug those in. [06:28] hello all [06:28] i am following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization and when i try to build iso i get http://pastebin.com/m64a867e8, any ideas? [06:28] hi you [06:28] keepsake I am at the terminal and have tried bot 'find /grub/stage1' and 'find /boot/grub/stage1' neither are there according to 'find' [06:29] keepsake sorry hold on typo [06:30] James_-_, thanks il coustomizate one for myself after 10.04 LST released [06:30] Talon_: btw in System Monitor you can click View > All Processes and then sort by memory [06:31] any way to get a basic list of what packages i can remove to cut my memory usage down? [06:32] Talon_: packages doesn't exactly mean memory usage [06:32] what processes are you running Talon_ [06:32] depends on what is started in startup programs [06:32] Talon_ hhh or ram? [06:33] When I hit "ALT+F2", what program is that? [06:33] top shows 155 processes running [06:33] well "tasks" [06:33] lots of those "tasks" i prolly don't need [06:33] misteralexander: It's the "start" program [06:33] Talon check in System > Preferences > Startup Applications [06:34] keepsake I have now checked and I DIDN'T have a typo... I have also checked for that file using the GUI... so now what do i do [06:34] keepsake: like /usr/bin/start ??? [06:34] so um, can you install madwifi drivers with a dell wlan card 1937? [06:34] misteralexander: I believe so. [06:35] James_-_: Can you get into Recovery mode? [06:35] whats seahorse daemon [06:35] keepsake: nah, I checked. I'm trying to make an SSH shortcut on my desktop, click it & terminal launches you into the remote server. [06:35] James_-_: i.e. restart with the CD, go to Recovery mode, and then select "Reinstall grub bootloader" or something [06:35] keepsake no not from the HDD and I haven't found a option for it with the cd... what I am in is live mode [06:36] k i turned off some services like that printer n bluetooth and dropped in memory usage, still rather high tho [06:36] ok i will look for something like that [06:36] James_-_: Go into Recovery mode using the CD [06:36] ok [06:36] Talon, did you View > all processes in System Monitor? [06:36] keepsake: any ideas? [06:36] yes [06:36] that shoudl add up, no? [06:37] misteralexander: What's the command you're trying to run? [06:37] misteralexander: I don't use SSH myself so I'm not too familiar with it [06:38] Talon you maybe can turn off compiz in System > Preferences > Appearance > Visual Effects TAb [06:38] done, didnt help much [06:39] adalal: verything ok with your mp3's? [06:39] Talon_, what're your systemspecs? [06:39] keepsake I don't see a option on the black screen of the live disk where you pick live mode or install etc.... however I can get to the 'text interface' if you can give me the command to enter in to recovery mode I will be GTG [06:39] keepsake: LOL -- I'm trying a bunch of stuff. I basically want to click an icon on my desktop & terminal will lauch having already known the username & server to connect. I can do this in Nautilus, but that gives my a GUI connection & I need a CLI connection. [06:39] Talon_: on my system in System Monitor 1&2 are Xorg @ 17mb and nautilus @ 16mb [06:39] ps ax shows things like cupsd running, isn't that printing services? i have no printer [06:40] misteralexander: You need to find a terminal-based SSH program then, probably >> [06:40] misteralexander, I suggest putty? [06:40] James_-_: What do you see? [06:40] iAmerikan: Isn't putty GUI-based? [06:40] so i really dont need a print daemon running since im never going to print [06:40] keepsake i am at 'boot:' [06:41] keepsake, my bad. how about the openssh client? [06:41] James_-_: Sorry, restart into the main menu of the CD with the Live mode and stuff [06:41] iAmerikan: I don't know, sorry =( [06:41] keepsake ok [06:41] Talon_: It does allow you to print to file (ps/pdf), so it has some usefulness even without a printer. [06:41] keepsake: LOL -- ALMOST there. chose to make a "Launcher" for my desktop & just put in my SSH info . . . then BAM it promted me for a password, then nothing happened. LOL -- Almost there. [06:42] keepsake I am at the live disk screen right after picking english [06:42] James_-_: What options do you see? [06:43] try ubuntu with our change, install ubuntu, check disc for defect, test memory, boot from fiest HDD [06:43] keepsaketry ubuntu with our change, install ubuntu, check disc for defect, test memory, boot from fiest HDD [06:43] !lol | misteralexander [06:43] misteralexander: 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. [06:43] James_-_: There is no option to enter Recovery mode? That's really strange. [06:43] James_-_: Is there something to enable "Advanced mode" or something of the sort? [06:44] misteralexander, http://www.askdavetaylor.com/automating_ssh_with_a_shell_script.html [06:44] keepsake F4 gives these options normal, safe graphics mode, use driver update disk, OEM install [06:45] well i removed cups, now im removing everything related to bluetooth, i have no bluetooth devices or possibility for bluetooth [06:45] iAmerikan: Thanks! [06:46] James_-_: What does F6 give you? [06:47] keepsake acpi=off, noapic, nolapic, edd=on, nodmriad, free software only [06:48] James_-_: Maybe you'll want to try just reinstalling ubuntu [06:48] James_-_: If you just installed it, you won't lose much [06:48] keepsake I just found this... if you have time look at it https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [06:49] Talon_: you haven't told us what are the biggest memory consumers on your system, see System MOnitro [06:49] I think I need to look for a difrent file... maybe grub.cfg [06:49] James_-_: You're not using grub2 though =\ [06:50] keepsake.. ok which grub comes with 9.10 === commander is now known as Guest17970 [06:51] James_-_: I think grub1 with the CD. [06:52] keepsake Ok will do a reinstall in the AM thanks for the help, If all else fails I can do more research or just downgrade to LTS if need be [06:52] Night all [06:52] James_-_: Sorry I couldn't have been of more help; good luck!

(: [07:04] jstoone: =D [07:04] keepsake: Got it. Create a launcher, but instead of "Application" choose "Application In Terminal". On the command line (usr/bin/program) instead put " ssh username@server.com " and then it'll open up in Terminal & then prompt for a password. 100% what I wanted. [07:05] misteralexander: Ahh, I never realised you could have "Application in Terminal." Thanks, I learned something =P [07:05] keepsake: no prob.

[07:12] GG19: Lets say that I got the H1.png file, how would I extract the rar out of it? [07:13] jstoone, you would rename the extension to .rar [07:13] search for a programm which make me ably to sync local-folder and ftp-folder [07:13] Oh (; alright (: [07:13] jstoone: Alternately you can look for headers, but that's a little more complicated =P [07:13] GG19, Oh okay, thanks!

[07:16] jstoone: Not really, anything works [07:17] GG19, I believe you're looking for CCSM [07:17] !ccsm | GG19 [07:17] GG19: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz === jeremy_ is now known as Guest90394 [07:17] keepsake, I have CCSM I just need a plugin that adds to CCSM for more features [07:18] hey what do you guys recommend for installing windows games on ubuntu?

Though if any of the files have identical names, the last one will overwrite the first one, without warning. [07:50] Well *that's* interesting. I nuked gnome with the command from http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde here, rebooted, and am stuck at a light green screen.

Hence I changed sleep_type_ac to hibernate as well. Think I'm good now [07:53] reactor: I'd like to boot to a terminal with no login manager. To that end, I removed gnome with the purekde command from psychocats, without installing kde.

[07:53] mooglenorph, hmm [07:54] maco: err I mean't I since also changed lid_ac to hibernate [07:54] geirha, yeah so I imported all my itunes music to rythembox but itunes made a file system by artist name and I had multiple songs that were duplicats so I wanted to force them into one folder and make it sort itself out so my playlist didnt have tons of duplicats on it so I thank you for the help it is much appreciated :) [07:55] reactor: which is weird as all get out. I can't use control-alt-f1 (or whatever) to switch to a terminal either. [07:55] mooglenorph, yeh looks strange [07:55] mooglenorph, you just had to remove xserver [07:55] y does "curl | grep word" not work?! [07:57] reactor: I should also remove xserver? I don't think it was listed in the command. [07:57] Guest89594: i'm a noob in that department but i think you need -o - after curl to direct output to stdout [07:57] mooglenorph, sudo apt-get remove xorg [07:58] hi [07:58] does ubuntu have some default gcc options? [07:58] where could i check those? [07:59] Ubuntu? [07:59] an atracting question, how many computing capabilities will it be saved to change from gnome to xfce?? [07:59] Does the time and date applet for gnome-panel offer a calendar? because if, i cant get it to work [07:59] i have tryed for 4 days to partition my hard drive todule boot i have tryed useing the installer i have tryed useing gpatred but nothing will alow me to resize the existing partition [07:59] what do i do? [08:00] NameMe, backup your data and reinstall it [08:00] yes that would be the best way to do it [08:00] get a new hard drive :) [08:01] or borrow external usb drive [08:01] i have tryed for 4 nothing is installed ubuntu is running from the live cd os [08:01] What plugin/applet offers a calendar in which I can store appointments and such for gpanel??? [08:01] oops [08:01] scrach that typed before [08:02] nothing is installed on the system i am useing ubuntu from the live cd OS [08:02] Guest89594: sorry I was wrong, it looks like curl by default outputs to stdout... but -o - does the same thing it seems [08:02] nothing is installed on the system i am useing ubuntu from the live cd OS [08:03] lil offtopic but I need help how to turn off the part and joins in mirrgi(s60) [08:03] now that's odd. I managed to switch to a tty, and after entering my username/password it hangs and then times out after 60 seconds [08:03] geirha, I get some things that say "mv: will not overwrite just-created `/media/disk/Music2/07 Track 07.m4a' with `/media/disk/Music/Unknown Artist/Unknown Album/07 Track 07.m4a'" and "cp: will not overwrite just-created `/media/disk/Music2/08 Track 08.m4a' with `/media/disk/Music/Soilwork/Unknown Album/08 Track 08.m4a'" [08:03] geirha, is that smething to worry about? [08:04] HOW DO I REINSTALL AND BACK UP SOMTHING TTHAT IS RUNNING FROM THE LIVE CD [08:04] nothing is installed on the system i am useing ubuntu from the live cd OS [08:05] GG19: Hm. I didn't expect it to do that, but I suspect the -t option is the reason. So it's probably moving the first file, then when a second file with that name comes along, it skips it. It will likely be left in the old tree after it's done. [08:05] NameMe: Everything from the livecd runs from cd rom and ram, there is nothing to reinstall. simply reboot and the livecd system is back to its original state [08:05] Can anyone tell me how to create apoointments in the gnome-panel TIme and Date applet? [08:06] ManDay: those appointments are from the evolution app [08:07] geirha, so if I delete my original folder i should be fine with my new folder [08:07] GG19: find /media/disk/Music /media/disk/Music2 -name "07 Track 07.m4a" [08:08] does anyone know how i can renew my IP address (get a new one) with a ISP that dynamically assigns IPs? [08:09] GG19: If it finds a hit in Music2, then yes, removing Music should be fine. [08:09] geirha, ahh i see [08:09] Anyone know how to get rsync to register * when I'm trying to exclude files? [08:09] geirha, brandon@brandon-desktop:~$ find /media/disk/Music /media/disk/Music2 -name "07 Track 07.m4a" [08:10] For instance Documents and Settings/*/Programdata/Identities [08:10] geirha, brandon@brandon-desktop:~$ find /media/disk/Music /media/disk/Music2 -name "07 Track 07.m4a" [08:10] geirha, wtf its not pasting right [08:10] geirha, yeah I have 4 track 07's some are not duplicates [08:11] Hi, I don't have any shutdown\logout option in my Main menu in gnome.

[08:12] Yeha, but I want to put it in the Main Menu [08:12] Kentrel: if you want it in youir main menu, remove the user applet at the top right panel === sandeep is now known as Guest29405 [08:12] Yeah [08:12] Oh that worked, lol [08:12] thanks [08:13] hi guys :D [08:13] Can anyone tell me how to create apoointments in the gnome-panel TIme and Date applet? [08:13] sorry [08:13] missed the reply [08:13] ardchoille, can you tell me what package these are in? [08:13] ManDay: double click on a date === BinaryMn is now known as BinaryMan [08:14] i guess [08:14] papul, doesnt do anything. only thing i can do is drag and drop a date to desktop and then it creates an empty textfile with only a string of the date in it [08:14] GG19: There is a possibility some files are gone though. If the length of the filenames exceed a certain length, it will invoke a second mv, which will overwrite once [08:14] ManDay: Evolution is the PIMsuite, if you make an appointment in evolution it will show up in that panel applet. What distro are you running? [08:14] ManDay: then use evolution [08:15] ardchoille, karmic [08:15] geirha, Im not sure I follow? [08:15] ManDay: then you should have evlution installed already and it should be in the Office and/or Internet menus [08:16] There we go. It was trying to start GDM, and I had removed GDM. [08:16] ardchoille, no, i installed a minimal install. is there any dedicated calendar package that i could use instead of evolution? [08:16] ManDay: open Evolution, create an appointment and the new date will appear in bold text in the date/time applet fromdown [08:16] How do I disable gdm properly? I just commented out some lines in the init.d/gdm.conf [08:16] which, preferredly, links with gnome-panel? [08:16] ManDay: install the evlution package [08:16] ManDay: Evolution [08:16] evolution is a mail client, isnt it? [08:16] ManDay: it's mail, taskis, notes, calendar, etc [08:17] would be nice if there was a dedicated package. i only need the calendar and i dont like installing stuff which i wont need later? [08:17] GG19: the find will execute "mv -t /media/disk/Music2 file1 file2 file3 file4..." A command has a length limit, so if that is exceeded, it will run another mv -t /media/disk/Music2 file100 file101 file102 ... [08:17] ManDay: you can use Sunbird instead of evolution but it doesn't show appts in the panel applet [08:18] thanks [08:18] ManDay: afaik, evolution is the only app that is linked to from the date panel applet [08:18] hm [08:19] thunderbird is afraid of a competitor on the same system [08:19] 6416 was what I had before 6014 is what I have now so 402 songs got deleted and thats not to bad considering I probably had that much or the song was similar in name which means I didn't care to much for it to change it lol and it saved me a crap load of time so I am happy with the result. [08:19] ManDay: Evolution is one of the first things I uninstall because it's just too much [08:19] see :-) [08:21] i want reinstall openssl. but if i try to remove it many other apps are also remove. is there a way to just remove and then install openssl? [08:21] how do I lock a user to his own directory? [08:22] GG19: Alright then. How many are left? find /media/disk/Music -type f (that will list all files remaining, if they are all music files, append |wc -l at the end to count the number of lines [08:22] i installed emacs from the live cd. where can i find it and how do i run it? [08:23] jack5463: open a terminal and type: emacs [08:23] geirha, I got ahead of myself and just deleted the folder >.< [08:25] Hi all. I can't import address book from Outlook Express to Evolution. Is there a way? [08:26] GG19: Oh, oh well, you still have a lot of music at least ;) [08:26] geirha, I have the files on a mounted drive so they don't go to the trash they just delete is there a way I can make it so I can't delete files off my mounted drive? I'd hate to accidently delete something perminently [08:27] geirha, if its possible would I still be able to read files and add files? just not be able to remove any? [08:27] i want reinstall openssl. but if i try to remove it many other apps are also remove. is there a way to just remove and then install openssl? [08:30] how do I add a user to a group?

[08:35] can it be removed by any means? [08:35] i'd be happy with ALSA [08:35] geirha, I have no .trash can I creat one? [08:36] I also want to lock him into his own folder for web access. [08:36] not sure how to do that either.

[09:22] if i can't do that i have to go back to Windows, which might mean i will start screaming [09:22] c00p yeah fire starter = outgoing policy, restrictive = allow only one hostname the ability to use http,https,dns,dhcp [09:23] Polysics, just kill the process [09:23] c00p or craft a iptables string [09:23] iflema: Ta.

[09:25] Its onboard sound, but I've had it with the major soundcards too [09:25] I can't select Alsa in Skype [09:25] Its pulseaudio or bust [09:26] Kentrel its not linux..... its the manufacturers [09:26] I've always had creatives in my desktop and worked a treat in Linux - don't try opensolaris :) [09:26] it and sound = more fail than Linux :) === co_cool is now known as mdo_mdo30 [09:28] YAY!

[09:33] just not in firefox or chrome. [09:33] what's the name of the irc client in ubuntu? [09:33] It seems 8.04 doesn't support ext4. [09:33] there are many [09:33] is there a user management tool like kde's 'kuser' for gnome and if so whats its name? [09:34] TonyTate: if it doesn't support it, then it doesn't work. you have to copy the information to another place and reformat.

It seems like the stability and performance of Windows is affected by the amount of software installed or at least by the installation of certain software, while in Unix, the only thing that seems to affect performance is the amount of proccesses running at a given time [09:40] in other news, i can get my sound card to play a noise a startup and when i click test in multimedia settings, but no other time, and i don't know how to fix this. any ideas? [09:40] I reckon the system registry in Windows is relevant, as it has to handle the ever increasing registry.. while in Linux you just handle single files.. [09:40] but there must be something more [09:41] lots of programs on windows run small background processes that are horrible wasters of memory, and over time these can build up in the background [09:41] Untouchab1e_: Not much spyware for linux, so no spyware reducing performance, and no antivirus checking your every move [09:41] Untouchab1e_, maybe redundant libaries in windows too [09:42] setkeh apparently a live cd with ssh server installed will get you started....... = mission [09:42] geirha: I am sure spyware is a culprit, but its not a core reason imho.. Because regardless of spyware or not, boot times increase, general system performance decreases and stability becomes shabby as well [09:42] ubottu, i saw someone using google translator inside irc. said he wrote it with emac. Is there documentation on how to do that? [09:42] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [09:43] setkeh pxe [09:43] unRuhe: maybe, but isnt that fixable? [09:43] most windows software comes without dependencies, if the prog need f.e. a python interpreter it will be shipped with the program [09:43] so for some reason i cant get virtualbox to "see" my ubuntu.iso to install it on the virtual machine i have created for it [09:43] what am i missing? [09:44] Untouchab1e_: filesystem fragmentation is also a problem on windows [09:44] geirha: regardless of using NTFS or FAT? [09:45] I'm using the following command $ rsync -vzr -e 'ssh -p 2222' --progress --exclude 'meta' "/home/kenneth/Websites/Haygarth Practice" kenbw2@haygarth-practice.co.uk:www/testbed.haygarth-practice.co.uk/ [09:45] Do I need to install device drivers in my Virtualbox Windows? === Untouchab1e_ is now known as Untouchab1e [09:45] but i want the *contents* pf Haygarth Practice to be synced to the remote folder. what am i doing wrong? [09:46] Hi all [09:47] Untouchab1e_: I'm not an expert on the subject, but I believe ntfs is an improvement over FAT, but still does get fragmented. ext[2-4] goes to great lengths avoiding fragmentation in the first place. [09:47] geirha: interesting.. [09:48] NTFS is not a journaling filesystem.. is that the reason why its so exposed to fragmentation? [09:48] How about bug internal SD card reader not detected by kernel without card plugged-in? [09:48] I'm using 9.10 64 bit desktop version on HP Compaq CQ45 [09:49] Anyone? [09:51] tiger2wander: What is the problem? I guess you have already stated it, but I don't have any logs of the issue [09:52] tiger2wander: that's normal.. only file systems are mounted and detected and there's no file system on a card reader unless the card is in the reader [09:53] electhor, my internal card reader is not detected by kernel if I have not plug card into it, but if I reboot my computer with card inside slot then I'll see the device detected by command: lspci [09:53] tiger2wander: my external SD card readers are the same way [09:54] ardchoille, The last time I've used Ubuntu 9.04 32 bit and I can see the card reader in the list of lspci command [09:55] Even after I have do insmod or modprobe command to insert sd card reader kernel module, my card reader device is not show in list of lspci [09:55] ciao atutti [09:55] !list [09:55] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic.

[10:36] i tried to change it thru system/display but it only has very low resolutions [10:37] ok, you might need the proprietary drivers [10:37] karhu: then you need to install the nvidia driver [10:37] I had the same issue [10:37] do i get that from nviadia or somewhere else ? [10:37] karhu: You probably need to go to Hardware Drivers and install the nvidia driver [10:37] nvidia* [10:37] calrik: is the disk going to stay all the time connected to your linux? ext3/4 are very good filesystems but NTFS is far more deployed in other OSes [10:37] karhu: system>administration>hardware drivers [10:38] i went to hardware drivers and it said i have no proprietry drivers or something like that [10:38] karhu, go to "Administration > Hardware drivers" [10:38] Did you see one listed that said not active?

[10:55] Hi everyone [10:56] * iflema v.v [10:57] i got 1 notebook with 3 partitions 80gb each partition..my primary os is vista and 1 80 i'm plannin to install ubuntu....from 80gb can i still make partition to that in installing ubuntu? [10:59] I have a problem with my external hard drive (Mybook 1To) that I can't access. I belive it's because of (among other) the pratition table. I tried an fsck but it took more than 12 hours for nothing. [10:59] I don't care about the data on it [10:59] Is there a way to format it? [10:59] gparted doesn't recogize it [11:00] Kransac: does it appear in the output of sudo fdisk -l ? [11:00] Kransac: gparted can't see it?? Is it connected through USB? [11:00] i just d/l'd the legacy linux driver from nvidia..does anyone know whether it will actually work or not ? due to not having an xorg.conf file? [11:01] karhu: why not install the driver from the repo's? [11:01] hiya folks, i'm following this guide to setup a custom X session... https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CustomXSession , it's all fine apart from the guide says to pick "Default System Session" from the sessions menu to run my own .xsession file, but my menu has no such option [11:01] karhu: create that file with text from mvidia [11:01] cause i cant find it in the repo's [11:01] anybody know how to tell gdm to use my own .xsession? [11:01] karhu: which driver are you attempting to install? And which card do you have? [11:02] can someone help me setup a virtual directory for apache??? [11:02] Im totally lost and dont understand it. [11:02] karhu: please keep it in the main channel [11:03] ok but its very hard for me to keep up cause i can only see two lines of text at a time lol [11:03] karhu: just create /etc/X11/xorg.conf [11:03] due to the low res [11:04] karhu: one sec [11:04] Demostene: ziroday: Yes it appears in fdisk -I as sdb1. I gave an other try to gparted unplugging and trurning of the HDD, it is now seen by gparted [11:04] I want to setup a user so he can have web access to his home directory. is that what a virtual directory does? [11:05] karhu: I'd recommend trying either the -nv or -nouveau drivers. envyng may also be able to help you but that is a very, very old card [11:05] ok so what do i have to do? [11:05] Kransac: so you should now be able to format it with gparted [11:05] karhu: well do you want to use -nv, -nouveau or give envyng a shot? [11:06] Dravekx maybe also try #apache [11:06] whatever is easiest and or most likely to work lol atm i will be happy to get a decent res so i can see everything im trying to do properly lol [11:06] iflema, they sent me here [11:06] Demostene: Yes. Thank you. But Kind of feel that I'm going to have some more problem : I can't format and Fat32 [11:06] Dravekx really [11:07] yes [11:07] karhu: okay, well do sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-nv [11:07] ok i'll give it a go [11:07] thanks :-) [11:08] Kransac: I suppose gparted can only format ext2/3/4 ... if you want FAT32 you should use other tools if not other os (windows) [11:08] it says xserver-xorg-video-nv is already the newest version ? [11:08] Dravekx http://blog.damontimm.com/how-to-redirect-apaches-default-www-or-public_html-folder-to-a-directory-in-your-home-folder/ [11:09] karhu: okay, then do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [11:09] iflema, cant do that.. my main page is in /var/www [11:09] I want a user to be able to put his home directory on the internet. [11:09] What file format would you recommand me (linux only use) : fat32, ext3 or ext4? And do you know roughly how long it should take to format 1To? Beause it seems to me that it take years, and that the HDD is now working very hard. Hence I'm wondering if the problem is not material [11:09] ok...was it meant to do anything ? [11:09] Dravekx so link it [11:09] karhu: just checking it was installed [11:10] iflema, I cant get symlinks to work. :( [11:10] zoroday: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/public_html.html [11:10] they work via ssh, but not FTP.

For data storage, I use ext3 because thats what it was originally set up as, if i did a new drive, i'd use ext4 now [11:13] DJones: Ok, thank you [11:13] where will httpd.conf files be in apache?

[11:47] MDGrey_-: you'd have to manually install it if its not in the repo, BUT, very likely the package is either unmaintained or outdated or both [11:47] acicula: or its beta quality [11:48] calrik: oh its a newer version :P? [11:48] MDGrey_-: then that too [11:48] eg the latest nvidia drivers are considered "beta", they are not on the repo but are quiet stable... [11:49] this is the one i got in apt 2.7.STABLE3-4.1ubuntu1 but it has a bug [11:50] so I need 2.7.STABLE8 [11:50] MDGrey: what is the bug you are mentioning? [11:50] all kernel releases have some bugs of some sort [11:51] did anyone know about my apt-preferences issue? I just need someone to look it over, make sure I wrote the file right [11:51] calrik: well beta sometimes means we dont want to actually support this when it breaks so we will just call it beta [11:52] acicula: good point lol [11:52] as a webhost, do I set users home directories to 755??? [11:52] calrik i was facing lots of issue and i was recommended to upgrade to 2.7 8 [11:52] does anyone here use the bigpond repo's ?

[11:59] Saturn2888 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports [11:59] not sure if this the right place to ask but Im running ubuntu desktop, got some really good hard ware, 6gb ram etc, would be better to run ubuntu server in vmware and forward to that for hosting websites/mysql or just have apache etc installed locally? [11:59] iflema: ah thanks === pvh_sa_ is now known as pvh_sa [12:03] calrick say 2 vm's in a box would be a power saver [12:06] hi all. can anyone help me with the rsync command? i am using "rsync -av /source/ /destination/" but when I delete some folders from source they still exist at destination after another rsync run [12:06] calrick 1 a waste of time.. unless ya testing different setups constantly [12:07] i would expect the command to keep the destination exactly the same as the source [12:09] performance wise is go-openoffice better than the openoffice provided by sun?

So now, I have a decision to make. Install windows 7 or linux as my primary operating system. What I would prefer is having both like i did with windows xp, but does linux grub play nice with the windows7 / vista boot loader? [12:14] hi all. can anyone help me with the rsync command? i am using "rsync -av /source/ /destination/" but when I delete some folders from source they still exist at destination after another rsync run [12:14] ubuntu: Yes, install 7 first, then linux [12:14] I run dual boot no problems [12:14] so as long as I do windows 7 first, it will work [12:14] gotcha [12:14] or use two hdds [12:15] ubuntu: Yeah, I mean you CAN do it the other way but it gets complicated [12:15] ubuntu, make sure you defrag windows before you install ubuntu [12:15] does anyone else having unresponse issues, i can move the mouse but cant click, right click, or wheel scrool it [12:15] windows 7 defrags on install, so there's no need [12:15] ubuntu, unless you have separate hard drives [12:15] ok, nother question. I don't play many games, but I do play some. I was wondering if I could ditch windows completely but still be able to play my games. will ubuntu play games like CoD 6? [12:15] can someone give me a hand with adding a repo please ? [12:16] ubuntu: Honestly, as much as I love Ubuntu, very doubtful [12:16] I'm on hardy, and attempting to upgrade to karmic; AFAIK I run sudo do-release-upgrade, but that reports 'No new release found' [12:16] ubuntu: If it can, it's unlikely you will get any decent framerates [12:16] Am I doing something wrong? [12:16] ok, can't ditch windows completely yet :( [12:16] ubuntu: Unfortuantely, for the time being, not many can [12:16] bloopletech: you need the repos === orion_ is now known as Guest63451 [12:17] once you have the correct repos in your sourceslist, you can use that command [12:17] ubuntu: ok thanks [12:17] bloopletech: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [12:17] Do I just get my current source list and replace hardy -> karmic? === dotch is now known as dotch|brb [12:18] well as much as i don't want to learn windows 7, looks like imma have to :( [12:18] bloopletech: you need to go into synaptic->settings->repositories->updates->release upgrade [12:18] bloopletech: have you installed update-manager-core? [12:18] huh [12:18] xteejx: Yes, I did [12:18] ubuntu: Why not run vi$ta? [12:18] bloopletech: make sure its on normal releases [12:18] Newky: This is from ssh, not GUI [12:18] because vista sucks [12:18] lol [12:18] !upgrade > bloopletech [12:18] bloopletech, please see my private message [12:18] bloopletech: follow the server instructions there [12:18] already point him there [12:18] *pointed [12:19] i hate that operating system with a passion. too bloated. windows 7 is basically vista SP3 :P [12:19] bloopletech: have u tryed sudo apt-get upgrade -d [12:19] hi [12:19] bloopletech: You're trying to upgrade another machine thru ssh? [12:19] xteejx: Yes, a VPS [12:19] Anybody know how to get drivers for "Dell Wireless 1520 802.11n Half Mini-Card" ? === flaco is now known as flacom [12:19] bloopletech: that seems a little like suicide, hardy to karmic may not be all that smooth, a lot of releases in between [12:19] I've a problem with Jaunty and Karmic, after more or less 1minute of booting, it hangs. /var/log/messages shows a kernel panic. [12:19] get the other half of the card and then install the full card driver? [12:20] what should I do= [12:20] oh wait [12:20] bloopletech: I wouldn't have thought there would be any differences, essentially you're just controlling the host system. Any errors with the do-release-upgrade ? [12:20] http://mirror.files.bigpond.com/ this is the address my ISP gives me for their ubuntu repo but when i try to add the repo thru synaptic it wont let me [12:20] Chetic, pastebin your lspci -nnk output with that device plugged in [12:20] hi all.. anyone knows iptables?? i got a vpn server on linux... when I client is connected it create a new pppN interface (n >= 0) how can I forward dynamic interfaces? [12:20] :P, i would guess probably off the dell side [12:20] how can i make my ati vga work? [12:21] OHH. I misread hardy as being 9.04, not 8.04 [12:21] ouyes, using ati driver I suppose? [12:21] bloopletech: Hardy is 8.04, 9.04 is Jaunty [12:21] i tried the official driver but failed [12:21] ouyes, not supported chipset? [12:21] ouyes: fglrx only supports the newer radeons and X series [12:21] Ok, so if I want to migrate from hardy to karmic, what upgrade path should I follow, hardy -> jaunty -> karmic? [12:21] bloopletech: ur problem is that ur using hardy which is LTS, its configured to not show any upgrades that arent LTS releases as far as i no [12:21] psycho_oreos, i donot know [12:21] bloopletech: You can do a direct upgrade [12:21] this hang doesn't happens when I boot in recovery mode [12:22] bloopletech: hardy -> intrepid -> jaunty -> karmic [12:22] Can't say how buggy it'll be but ANy errors post here [12:22] psycho_oreos, my laptop is a thinkpad t400 [12:22] it's a page fault [12:22] mbrochh, regarding rsync, add --delete [12:22] bloopletech: skipping releases is not supported unless you are doing LTS -> LTS [12:22] ouyes, xteejx had some valid info. I'd agree too, there was something about legacy ati drivers aren't getting the support in later builds of ubuntu [12:22] psycho_oreos, i saw the wiki for help, but still no luck [12:22] Thanks to all for their help, I'm getting come conflicting info [12:22] bloopletech: u dont have like a home partition [12:22] bloopletech: never mind ur sshing [12:22] ouyes, what about the free one? not fglrx but the other [12:23] so what can i do to get it work [12:23] Newky: what? I have ssh root access to my VPS box [12:23] bloopletech: Look, you CAN do a direct upgrade but it's not advised. Doing it through ssh shouldn't cause any problems. [12:23] slava_dp, thank you for the reply! I did that but it didnt help... after some googling i found a suggestion like this: rsync -avzr --delete source dest [12:23] that did the job [12:23] bloopletech: now i was going to say u wud b better with a clean reinstall [12:23] ouyes, pastebin your lspci -nnk output with that ati video card [12:23] not on a server === ubuntu is now known as j2daosh [12:23] <_spark> guys, when running an ubuntu-mobile live cd, would it be possible for me to change the xorg.conf to enable tv-out output?

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. [13:56] ok [13:57] let me give you a run down [13:57] where does boost store its .a's or .so's after I do apt-get install libboost? [13:57] i have ubuntu 9.04 with grub legacy setup along with other OS (debian), now i hav installed debian testing and i am unable to make an entry in ubuntu menu.lsy since there is no menu,lst in grub2 [13:58] iflema: Yes I know, it did, and that's my next step though is to start a program and wait to see if it causes the "leak". [13:58] guys.. [13:58] Yfrwlf have you added apps from foreign repos/foreign source code. [13:58] ! grub2 | Rahim [13:58] Rahim: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [13:58] okay lisn i want to make a bot [13:59] so that it will answer to some default questions in gtalk (using pidgin) [13:59] help me out [13:59] and why do we even have 1000 different directories for libraries? /lib, /usr/lib, /var/lib, /etc/lib, ... it's driving me cray [13:59] crazy* [13:59] Oasa: That really has nothing to do with ubuntu [13:59] so where do i ask that soreau? [13:59] can you help me anyways? [13:59] Oasa: #pidgin [13:59] iflema: Yes, so I will test and see if I can find out which program causes the leaking, I was just hoping that I was missing some way of seeing the process which is leaking, but apparently I'm blind to it.

[14:07] soreau, test [14:07] NVIDIA 7300 GT [14:08] Hirager: Then you probably want to use nvidia-settings to change the resolution or set it in your xorg.conf [14:08] hi everyone! is it a good idea to link files in my $HOME dir to roots home? want to like my .kde folder. [14:08] nerdy_kid: That is a bad idea, dont even try it [14:08] soreau: The thing is that my spare cable i use, doesn't send info about monitor. [14:09] soreau: no something else [14:09] soreau :( causes permission frying huh. no way to prevent root from changing the permisions? [14:09] not the resolution but about the quality [14:09] Hirager: Have you tried setting the resolution you want in nvidia-settings? [14:09] the lowist options is only available if u have a good driver [14:10] somewith with the graphics [14:10] lol i appreciate your helping me soreau but the site didn't help do you have any alternatives?

[14:12] lol i don't know. i ranit in the terminal as instructed but the plugins cant be found [14:12] yeah i did no luck there i tried envyng too but that dosnt seem to help either [14:12] I am sure the prblem lies in cable, not card, because it started after change of cable [14:12] Migi32: try "apt-cache depends" [14:13] frostbite7: Did it successfully compile and install the plugins?

[14:16] lol i dnt know. do i first copy the code and then restart compiz ? [14:16] frostbite7: If you actually read the guide, it tells you exactly what you need to do [14:17] are there any ERM - tools / editors for ubuntu? [14:17] u mean the fglrx driver? [14:17] Hello, how could i connect my ubuntu livecd via ethernet with my windows 7 on second computer? [14:17] yucatan1991: use the free driver (either radeon or radeonhd ) ? [14:17] how i should do that [14:18] is it avainable to share files on livecd? [14:18] localh0st: assing manually valid ips/netmasks in both computers [14:18] hey folks [14:18] arUSUL how should i do that [14:18] lol cool. thanks. if it isn't to much trouble could i have the link again? [14:18] localh0st: just configure an ip and use smb://you.wiindows.machine.ip on nautilus [14:19] frostbite7: It is called elements and you can install it with the script found here (since ubuntu no longer provides the -unsupported plugins package) http://forum.compiz.org/viewtopic.php?f=114&t=12012&p=75601#p75601 [14:19] setting up a dual boot box from scratch. Want to be able to boot the XP partition as a VM from inside ubunut. What's the install order? Windows first or Ubunut first? [14:19] localh0st: if you can internet, probably no need, dhcp will have already assigned ip's to your machines [14:19] epinky: is it working in idle default? my version of ubuntu is 7.10.. [14:19] :SpaceBAss: I think you're always supposed to install windows first.. [14:19] yucatan1991: probably you are alredy using radeon driver... do you see performance problems ?

[14:21] elvios: I need it as a physicial box and VM ... otherwise I'd agree 100% [14:21] yeah\ [14:21] yucatan1991: Did you install it? [14:21] elvios: its a new, fresh HD, I'll expirement and find out :D [14:21] soreau: i see thefglrx driver [14:21] yeah [14:22] SpaceBass: good luck, xp doesn't like changes in hardware very much [14:22] but if i do that my ubuntu wont boot up anymore [14:22] freakynl: hoping I can use hardware profiles to get around that [14:22] then my ubuntu starts and i only see is a black flashing screen [14:22] SpaceBass: Ah. So windows should be installed properly but accessible from inside ubuntu? I have no idea how to do that :D [14:22] a flashing console [14:22] SpaceBass: maybe, you probably will have to keep the hals the same [14:22] localh0st: then I'd recommend configuring SSHd on LiveCD and use WinSCP on Windows Side to copy to your 7 disk [14:22] yucatan1991: Oh well I guess fglrx sucks :P How many monitors/screens do you have plugged in to the graphics card? [14:23] freakynl: good point. Thanks. and thanks elvios as well! [14:23] SpaceBass: order doesn't really matter, if you install linux first, then windows, you will have to recover grub mbr. the other way around you will have to restore windows bootsector in some cases [14:23] one [14:23] its a laptop [14:23] a IBM t500 [14:23] yucatan1991: Which version of ubuntu is this?

Pulse says it doesn't detect any hardware, and the Sound preferences window is different than it was in 9.04 [14:26] soreau:? [14:26] yucatan1991: Well the good news is that the open driver now has 3D support for your card. The bad news is it didnt make it into the 9.10 release so you would have to install packages from the xorg-edgers repo [14:26] ugliefrog: the desktop is livecd [14:26] freakynl nope.. [14:26] IdleOne ok thx [14:26] BillyBoy: worked for me, quite sure about it [14:26] ok...thanks...live is what i need [14:26] Somebody can help with me in a Samba [14:26] I can't configure [14:26] Olaa [14:27] does ubuntu have boadcom drivers?

[14:30] ouyes, I can't vouch for it because I don't have that hardware, but I can't see why not, upon searching vid:pid of your device, many were asking about compiz, so I'd say yes fglrx should be working without issues, you're running 9.10 right?

[14:36] ouyes, well the fglrx is claimed to work in 9.10 (karmic koala) [14:37] psycho_oreos, how about the hardy? [14:37] psycho_oreos, what about the hardy? [14:37] ouyes, I never tried fglrx driver but if its a wrapper like nvidia's proprietary driver, you might be able to compile it manually (via new linux driver) and old kernel sources to get it working [14:37] ouyes: Why are you trying to use hardy? Why not 9.10? [14:37] ouyes, haven't searched on hardy [14:37] hi, I was wondering if anyone can give me the name of a channel that deals with building computers [14:37] nyaa: try #hardware [14:37] cool, thanks [14:38] epinky: sweet thanks [14:39] I'm trying to script swapping out /etc/X11/xorg.conf (to add another monitor). Is there a way to reload or restart X server without logging out? [14:39] Is anyone testing Lucid with System Testing yet? If not I'd suggest doing it before Alpha 4 in about 6 weeks, so any future problems can be ironed out ASAP [14:39] idleOne: if i do sudo apt-add-repository ppa:xorg-edgers i get command not found [14:39] soreau, i like the ADD/Remove function with stars to make a choice, and i hope it has a good stability(so the 8.04 is my first choice, by the avalibility is low) [14:39] yucatan1991: Use Software Sources in System>Admin [14:39] ahabman, ctrl+back-arrow [14:39] ouyes, and I would personally also start asking (agreeing with what soreau suggested) why use 8.04? such new hardware would probably be well benefited under later version [14:39] ahabman: I think ctrl + alt + backspace will do the trick.

[14:47] gQuash: You can have a normal Ubuntu installation with the server stuff as well to make things easier, just install ubuntu-server once Ubuntu is installed [14:47] yucatan1991: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [14:47] gQuash: the difference is mainly in packages afaik. but i seldom use ubuntu :D. server doesn't install gui by default etc. unetbootin should do what you want tho' [14:48] xteejx: -server is installed he wants to add ubuntu-desktop [14:48] Well that's easy enough [14:48] xteejx, make a usb start will be even simpler, do not you think so? i have a cdr , but why a waste to burn one? il wait the final release and customize one for myself [14:48] ouyes: Of course, that's not a problem if that's easier for you :) [14:48] well my problem it's the download... So I'll download the package at work [14:48] and the come home and install it [14:49] gQuash: I'd then suggest using aptoncd :) [14:49] Idleone: its upgradeing so i'm waiting [14:49] xteejx, it is easier and money-save way, and it is fun, [14:49] Hi ! on Karmic, the system sounds via bell (internal beeper) doesn't work, only trough the sound chip !! each time connect and disconect with giant clic [14:49] ouyes: hehe :) [14:49] nouga: Check your sound settings, ensure system beep is turned up [14:49] I love the terminal and cat command I was trying for like 2hrs to change an .ico to a .svg so I can put icons on my wine programs and as new folder images but I couldn't do it not even with a icon creator program I almost gave up till I was thinking about how you can hide a zip file inside an image and wondered if I could use that function but just rename it with the cat command and it worked infact it works for images to .svg as well I [14:49] 'm so happy :) [14:50] gQuash: ubuntu-desktop is a meta package, it pulls in a bunch of other packages. so downloading just ubuntu-desktop to usb won't be enough [14:50] Gone [14:50] darn [14:50] xteejx, you know what , you can use the usb start driver to boot almost any computer [14:50] xteejx, no system sound on settings [14:50] ouyes: I know :D [14:50] nouga: Then chances are you may have a problem with the kernel detecting sound cards, etc. Please file a bug report [14:51] xteejx, Gee !

[14:52] ouyes: Same here hehe but yes, whichever is easiest for you. Although if you're going to use a USB, it may be better to do a persistent install on the USB drive, so you can run a real Lucid system with updates :) [14:52] llutz: thanks, thats the answer I was looking for. [14:52] ahabman, the session is opened throuh gdm = xserver [14:53] xteejx, i use the unetbootin to create a usb , [14:53] ouyes: The ATI card doesn't work at all?

Ubuntu 9.10 [14:57] it my dad laptop try to get linux on it so he don't have to worry about the virus. [14:57] ouyes: You're going to need the fglrx binary driver, the open source will not work with that card [14:57] !ati > ouyes [14:57] ouyes, please see my private message [14:57] xteejx: Actually, the open source driver does support it now [14:57] But certainly not on hardy [14:57] Does it? Oh.. [14:58] He's using Intrepid I believe [14:58] xteejx: Yes, the open driver has 3D support for r6-7xx ards now, upstream and he said he is using hardy [14:58] i have sucsessfully instaled ubuntu server onto my maxtor 30 gig hd and now when i try to boot up i get to grub, then i select my operating system, but then it restarts. can anyone help me [14:58] Oh dear [14:59] xteejx, i am now worried to ues that driver because it failed in the 8.04 and i turned to 9.04 [14:59] xteejx: I believe this is why he is having trouble with fglrx, because the version that it installs is too old [14:59] soreau: Could be [14:59] I don't think these things are backported either, so enabling that won't make a difference [14:59] Idleone its done [14:59] what should i do now === silverra1ndog is now known as silverraindog [15:00] xteejx: So maybe installing it manually might help, but he would have to find just the right version and it would be much easier to upgrade ubuntu but apparently that is not one of the options he is willing to consider [15:00] yucatan1991: Did it install a kernel btw? [15:00] i dont know [15:00] i dont think so [15:00] yucatan1991: Didnt you pay attention? :P [15:00] how can i check that [15:00] no:P [15:00] i let him walk [15:00] i was away [15:00] yucatan1991: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

Now make sure you have completely uninstalled the fglrx driver in sys>admin>hardware drivers [15:08] yucatan1991: you cannot have any fglrx package installed or else the open driver wont work for 3D [15:08] MrUnix: With Paragon Disk Wiper - I wanted to test it...

[15:09] soreau there is standing driver it not activated [15:09] so i think it not installed. [15:09] MrUnix: Yes. I wanted to test the program. [15:09] yucatan1991: If there is no output to this command, you should be good: dpkg -l|grep fglrx [15:10] Dontkillme, no. [15:10] Dontkillme, then you're going to need a pristinely clean electronics lab, a very powerful electron microscope, and a team of top-notch forensic's experts.

[15:17] yucatan1991: Alright, so dpkg -l|grep fglrx is showing nothing now? [15:17] IdleOne, it might apply to him. He could be a closet millionaire. [15:17] soreau there are still tree entry's [15:17] if i hit it [15:17] yucatan1991: Or at least, nothing with ii next to the name [15:18] Is there a way to get at least my operating system back?

Thanks, I'll try it. [15:18] Dontkillme, this time round when you install, put have your home folder on a separate partition to your system core [15:19] airtonix, that won't stop an HDD wipe from reaching it. [15:19] so nfs-home [15:19] Dontkillme, lesson of the day - testing stuff on your HDD != win. [15:19] soreau: so whats next now? [15:19] How do i add a shortcut button to Applications > Internet?

[15:34] Hi [15:34] cweilem, maybe motion has cofig to modify frames as it dumps them ? [15:34] inmanix, I have 3gb of RAM, and never even fill half of my 890mb swap [15:34] soreau: thx alot!!!!! [15:34] airtonix: summary so far - using motion, cheese, ekiga, the camera works, but image is mirrored. skype works perfectly [15:35] inmanix, sorry for "swaps" i mean a drive that both windows and linux can see not a swap drive [15:35] i will be light gaming on wine though [15:35] Well, I'd suggest around 1.5gb [15:35] ok [15:35] inmanix: if you plan on using suspend-to-disk your swap should be greater than or equal to your ram [15:36] im somehwat of a 1 day old ubuntu noob, but im assuming 'suspend to disk- is not a requirement? [15:36] inmanix: No it is not. It is a feature some people use. [15:36] airtonix: maybe... i'm wondering now if skype isn't flipping the image for me [15:36] inmanix: it's not, do you understand what I mean by it? It's usually called "hibernate" in wondws-land [15:36] aye [15:36] windows even [15:37] yucatan1991: Thank IdleOne too, I made a note of how to add the xorg-edgers repo now :) [15:37] okay, so i need ext4 for files, i need a ext4 for ubunutu which i already have, i need a fat32 for shared and i need a ntfs for windows? [15:37] inmanix: I just joined, what are you trying to do? [15:37] inmanix, yes [15:37] cweilem, it might be (if it is then my assumption is that since its newer than cheese or motion it is sniffing machine ids of your webcam and it knows that it needs to flip the frames) [15:38] soreau: :) [15:38] inmanix: you don't need Fat32, Ubuntu since 7.10 (October 2007) can read and write to NTFS properly, as long as Windows shut it down properly [15:38] inmanix: why do you need ext4 for files? Just have a partition for ubuntu and one for swap. A separate one for /home is also a good idea. That's it on the ubuntu side [15:38] * airtonix thinks separate home partitions should be default [15:38] I just use a boot partition, a swap area, and then keep all my ubuntu stuff on the same part. [15:38] *shrugs* [15:39] airtonix: they are good to have, but not always needed, espeasilly if people have say an external hard disk to back up to [15:39] i dont understand the /home stuff [15:39] MrUnix, must make reinstalling a pain in the rear (what with having to back up X amount of gigs prior to reinstalling) [15:39] !home | inmanix [15:39] inmanix: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [15:39] inmanix, /home is really the only area in linux you'll be able to write new files to. All of your stuff is kept there. [15:40] inmanix: all your user's data is kept there. So if you have a separate partition for it you could for example reinstall ubuntu without really noticing or use another distro without really noticing === Guest2134 is now known as CoJaBo-Aztec [15:40] sure, so its basically my C drive [15:40] sebsebseb, separate gome parition precludes the requirement to back up prior to a reinstall. [15:40] inmanix: no [15:40] inmanix: ok thanks for the pm telling me what you want to do [15:40] dumb question how can i see the format of a drive/partition [15:40] so i have 10gb for ubuntu installation, then a seperate ext4 for home [15:40] airtonix, I keep an external HDD close at hand that I backup to at least once a week or so [15:40] inmanix: no, basically it's c:\documents and settings [15:40] inmanix: by default Ubuntu puts everything into / which is like C in Windows [15:40] or c:\users if you vista/7 users [15:40] With tar, how do I set the compression level? Say, I want to do gzip level 4 or bzip2 level 9? [15:40] inmanix: however it also gives people some swap space, which is virtual memory in Windows [15:41] via cli. [15:41] and home natively lives in / im guessing [15:41] and im looking to move that to a new partition [15:41] Everything is kind of in / [15:41] hi. i need a help for kmid and timidity. all it's right installed but the midi and kar codec doesn't work... i can't hear the sound [15:41] inmanix: a home is like my documents, and program files kind of, well just program user data in hidden .folders for programs in a home. by default home goes in / ,but some of us like having a seperate /home partition, because that makes re installing Ubuntu or even changing to another distro a bit easier [15:41] inmanix, /home is a "directory" of / , but can be on a different partitions [15:42] 'morning [15:42] inmanix: In Windows, there are many drives C: D: E: -- In Unix, everything is in one tree. /etc/ /home [15:42] sure, so its effectively my documents and program files [15:42] inmanix: for example .mozilla is the Firefox profile, if you remove/move it and then re open Firefox, it's like your using it on Ubuntu for your first time [15:42] !hi | domito_ [15:42] domito_: 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! [15:42] sure sure [15:42] hi. i need a help for kmid and timidity. all it's right installed but the midi and kar codec doesn't work... i can't hear the sound. i use ubuntu 9.4 [15:42] so my home partition needs to be my large linux 'file' partition [15:43] hi. i need a help for kmid and timidity. all it's right installed but the midi and kar codec doesn't work... i can't hear the sound. i use ubuntu 9.4 [15:43] inmanix: yeah do like 10GB for / that's right you don't need much space for Ubuntu itself, when you got a big seperate /home [15:43] inmanix: no, program files is /bin, /usr/bin, things like that. program data in windows is kept in c:\documents and settings\user and the local settings\application data or application data. in linux program DATA is kept in your home folder. quite similar actually [15:43] inmanix: swap space, well that depends on how much RAM, how big you make it [15:44] well if i say install steam with wine [15:44] inmanix: and if you want to hibernate and such or not [15:44] * airtonix likes to put the swap partition as the first partition [15:44] inmanix: wine stuff ends up in your home [15:44] k :) [15:44] inmanix, wine = /home [15:44] * kinja-sheep does not use swap :D [15:44] inmanix: yes that's right .wine the hidden .wine folder is your wine programs [15:44] seb someone said around 1.5 gig was good for me [15:44] Virtually everything you add to linux will end up in /home. [15:44] im 2gig ram [15:44] Greetings! [15:44] * freakynl likes /boot as first partition and swap second :P [15:45] * airtonix thinks kinja-sheep shall feel the cold edge of my swap drive [15:45] kinja-sheep: I don't really need it either and this is with 1GB RAM, I don't hibernate this computer [15:45] inmanix, swap needs to be 2 or more gigs then. (I suggest at least three or four if you want to hibernate or work with large files) [15:45] kinja-sheep: oh some programs might run better with SWAP space, but I don't really need, even so though I tend to have it [15:45] !hi | betz [15:45] betz: 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! [15:45] sebsebseb: I think it is nicer to have swap file instead of swap partition. [15:46] kinja-sheep: oh you got a SWAP file [15:46] sebsebseb: No I don't -- but I'm looking at htop right now, I'm using 717MB / 3G [15:46] MrUnix, to be safe swap needs to be 2.5 times the capacoty of your physical ram (to cover the hibernation scenario that your physical ram is full and some swap drive is being used for running apps) [15:46] sebsebseb: Basically, 24% of the memory. [15:46] kinja-sheep: swap can not dynamically grow so what's the point? [15:47] freakynl, techincally it can by adding a swap file to fstab [15:47] inmanix: by the way you have told me you want to game right, well there's this idea that Deskop Linux sucks for gaming, but that really is not the case, there are some pretty good native games for it, and quite a lot of games will work well enough in Wine, ok so some/many need to be configured a bit first for Wine [15:47] airtonix: +1 [15:47] I need to install php5-imap on a feisty server. Tried with apt-get, but i get 404 error, failed to fetch [15:47] inmanix: just wanted to be clear, that there are good games for Desktop Linux as well [15:47] airtonix, I was just passing along the minimum recommended. [15:47] airtonix: i know how to use loopback swap file, i said grow :) [15:47] you always can additional swap-space on the fly [15:47] !games | inmanix [15:47] inmanix: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [15:47] i know :) i got CS:S going last night [15:47] my ping was awful [15:47] not ping..fps [15:47] but one change [15:47] !feisty | betz [15:47] betz: Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) was the sixth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: October 19th, 2008. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. [15:47] and it doubled [15:48] inmanix: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:48] freakynl, i like to think that a swap space that grows is not good. [15:48] betz: you should upgrade as feisty is no longer supported [15:48] ubottu: so i can't get those packages anymore? upgrading is not an option for the moment, not my server [15:48] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [15:48] airtonix: i like to think swap is evil anyways :) virtual memory is horribly slow [15:49] freakynl, airtonix: Also, you can't grow the RAM, what is the point? You have to change them. :) [15:49] freaky[t], this is true [15:49] betz: tell the admin to upgrade it. Point out that it is no longer supported [15:49] betz: 7.04 is/was a rather nice release really, but yep no longer supported, so you should upgrade to at least 8.04 really [15:49] i have never seen there were more than 200MB of the swap space being in use [15:49] if one uses swap on regular base, he should buy ram [15:49] kinja-sheep: the point is, if you have to pre-allocate the space it makes no difference whether it's a partition or a file [15:49] in case of the file, if it's heavily fragmented it will perform even worse [15:49] llutz, hibernation ? [15:50] swap space should be abolished [15:50] airtonix: that's not "using swap", thats hibernating to swap-partition [15:50] llutz, no swap == no hibernate [15:50] abandoned [15:50] How can I browse network computers in xubuntu? [15:50] airtonix: i meant "usind swap as memory paging" [15:50] regjava: Maybe "network://" in your file manager location bar [15:51] regjava, you are running xubuntu ? how about it ?

[15:51] airtonix: yes, this is why hibernation, atleast using that method, on linux is borked. if i have 2G mem, 3G swap, using 3.5G mem (thus 2G and 1.5G swap) hibernation is going to have serious issues [15:51] does anyone know if it is possible to run ubuntu server 9.10 on an old windows 95 [15:51] can I become root in a livecd?

[15:53] jrib: I think I tried once or whatever with it not showing, but yes good to have it showing at least for a few seconds, so can change to another option if wanting to [15:53] regjava, no. i mean yes... [15:53] regjava: of course it has network support, what kind of network support are you after though? [15:53] regjava: oc not. we always walk to a windows box, download the updates, put them on usb and then bring them to ubuntu :P [15:53] regjava, but that isn't your real question is it [15:54] How do i access other computers on the lan [15:54] regjava: what our 3 friends here are trying to say is, can you be a little more specific :) [15:54] regjava: define computers and sharing abilities === MrUnix is now known as MrUnix|Away [15:54] !away > MrUnix|Away [15:54] MrUnix|Away, please see my private message [15:55] Does anybody here wrote a rsync script that will sync *any* files between machines when things get created / modified / attrib changes / etc?

[15:55] regjava: some of those computers run Windows? [15:55] regjava, since you haven't mentioned we assume you mean between a windows machine [15:55] if only 2 machines, unison is a good way to go [15:55] kinja-sheep, My bad bud.

[16:13] sebsebseb: not next to my machine.. but if flash is the culprit.. i am wondering if i should uninstall ubuntu-unsupported-extras and install ubuntu supported extras as they come up.. it sucks since it is all in a bundle.. I do not know how to uninstall stuff i have downloaded online.. that was not installed through the software center.. [16:13] how do i stop it!

I have 5 servers at our central office 2 running ubuntu 3 running other flavors. We have a site2site vpn which connects our remote office into our domain controller and all of our internal resources. Well my problem is this. I can ping and connect to every device from the remote office except the ubuntu boxes. I've [16:14] checked iptables and it is flushed and I can ping the box from the central box. Any suggestions what I might check? [16:14] CAPcap: intsall ubuntu-restricted-extras [16:14] zX [16:14] mediaprodigy_: there are a few ways you can install Adobe Flash into Ubuntu, and whichever way you choose, you are likely to get the same issue/s [16:14] DemoOn: in ubuntu unsupported extras you get Flash.. so I would uninstall unse: then install Gnash when i need flash and so forth and so on.. [16:14] jrib, ive deleted it? is that a problem [16:14] jtrimmer: You might want to try in #ubuntu-server [16:15] riktking: wait for it to come back and read it...

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [16:15] Guest52843, please see my private message [16:15] sebsebseb: I assume that Gnash does not have these issues? [16:15] jrib, well ive stopped a program that was producing another log file that was getting to be near to similar size and no xsession log had been recreated [16:15] jrib i have rhythmbox still wont play them, i spent like 2 hours testing various media players last night, my problem is the ones that play m4a dont have library management tools which i need because i have thousands of songs [16:16] DemoOn: i do not have that transparency issue. [16:16] mediaprodigy_: Gnash is from the Free Software Foundation, Swfdec is from the open source community, both aren't as good as Adobe Flash, but they might be good enough for your Flash useage [16:16] CAPcap: what ubuntu version? [16:16] 9.10 === Guest52843 is now known as leon [16:16] hey [16:16] mediaprodigy_: bcause u have stable version of smthing that is responsible about that [16:16] 1 how to install my web cam === leon is now known as Guest0 [16:17] winyath, check out a package called cheeze [16:17] jrib, ok now its playing them T_T i dont freaking get it [16:17] sebsebseb: thanks for the insight into flash [16:17] CAPcap: you probably had to restart rhythmbox [16:17] maybe i just needed to reboot my computer [16:17] thanks skrite [16:17] anyone familiar with dd-wrt? [16:17] jrib well it doesnt matter now anyways, its working. thanks for your time [16:17] tx3: if it's related to ubuntu, just ask your question [16:17] i booted a live usb stick on a pc, but i have to authenticate which user and password should i use?

[16:18] mediaprodigy_: some of the tray icons arent transperent [16:18] Do u know what mof is [16:18] mediaprodigy_: I have had Flash issues in the past ( on another distro at the moment, where Flash is working fine in FIrefox ) anyway on Ubuntu in my expereince if Flash issues it's better to use another browser for it [16:19] mediaprodigy_: http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/1585/screenshotbbq.png see [16:19] DemoOn: this might sound funny but i do not have a tray.. i can only assume you are using KDE [16:19] mediaprodigy_: its gnome [16:20] If I write a daemon application how can I make it start on system start-up in Ubuntu?

[16:21] DemoOn: Was it like that after your ubuntu install. === vertigo is now known as woble [16:22] DemoOn: What video card? [16:22] anil56554: this Chrome stuff is getting at me a bit, because even though Firefox might get issues with Adobe Flash on Ubuntu, it's the one we should be supporting the most, since it's a good number two, and has most of the market share after all versons of IE put together. a version of IE on it's own though and well Firefox actsauly has more market share these days [16:22] qe pasa [16:22] anil56554: whoops that was wrong above, I meant to put, IE has most market share still, but only when it's more than one version [16:22] mediaprodigy_: i dont have ubuntu, that problem is connected with gnome, i dont know where else could i ask this question. Everything was fine before system update. Everything is ok with video cards [16:22] sebsebseb: yeah you are right [16:23] hello [16:23] wanted to try and get the ir on my laptop working has anyone got anywhere to start from? [16:23] I'm trying to add a repo to Ubuntu 9.10, by adding it to /etc/apt/sources.list and I added "deb http://repo.mindtouch.com xUbuntu_9.10" but when I go to apt-get update, I get this: E: Malformed line 54 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse) [16:23] sebsebseb: but chrome has not a good download manager and that's what i need [16:23] what's the right way to add a repo link? [16:23] sebsebseb, chrome with it's sandboxing is arguably the safest browser out there right now, not to mention the fastest [16:23] Migs: synaptics [16:23] okay [16:24] chrome extension are also growing fast [16:24] Migs: Most likely it should be deb http://repo.mindtouch.com karmic main [16:24] hi is there a way to list packages i have installed, but not their deps? [16:24] there's no /karmic directory [16:24] ZykoticK9: maybe so, but quite a lot of web developers don't test in loads of popular browsers like they are meant to, in fact there are still doing websites only for IE. they will make a website for the browser that they think has most market share etc. anyway this is off topic. [16:25] Migs: It's not a directory, it's a repo line %) Try this. If it doesn't work, try also karmic universe and karmic multiverse. If still, something's wrong with this repo [16:25] okay [16:25] which package may cause this problem>> http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/1585/screenshotbbq.png Some tray icons arent transperent? [16:25] I am using Xubuntu and when surfing the internet with Firefox the system will randomly freeze. Usually happens when page is loading. The mouse continues to move but that is it. A hard shutdown is required to regain use again. Can anyone point me to a solution? [16:25] gotta question [16:25] has anyone else experienced sigsegv running gvim, after upgrading to karmic? [16:25] DemoOn: not sure If I can can help.. hopefully someone in here can help [16:26] riPPerMD: Don't hard shutdown, use Alt+SysRq+REISUB [16:26] mediaprodigy_: i hope [16:26] theadmin: thanks [16:26] demoon: what is problem [16:26] Or was it Ctrl? Damn %) Somehow, I have to use Alt AND Ctrl due to my keyboard config [16:26] I just installed ubuntu 9.10 and now i have no splash screen, my computer just says the input type is not supported, how can i fix this? [16:26] anil56554: some of the tray icons have gray bcground, but should be transperent [16:26] I have a rather serious problem. I think it has to do with the Xorg server but I am not sure. I am running matlab on ubuntu, and from matlab i can create new windows for example when I want to make some sort of plot. After not very long, when I have opened and closed 3-4 windows, and I open a new window the entire ubuntu system goes crazy. The menu bars(int the top) are not showing in any windows at all. the system gets slower and unresponsive. But if [16:26] i look at top-program in the terminal the CPU seems to be pretty idle and has no occupying processes...How can I figure out what on earth ubuntu does wrong? [16:27] hi guys [16:27] Migs: I think there's supposed to be a "/" after xUbuntu_9.10 [16:27] demoon: which linux you use [16:27] anil56554: yeah Firefox has download manager [16:27] anil56554: gentoo [16:27] anil56554: plus you can downlod stuff with wget even if you really want in the terminal [16:27] I am not able to install ubuntu 9.04 through a CD as the display gets screwed up. What do I do ? [16:27] anil56554: but everything was ok before update, so its with one of the package [16:28] vikasap: which graphics card? [16:28] anil56554: i think [16:28] no ideas [16:28] gwget works great [16:28] sebsebseb: so tell me a good download manager for ubuntu [16:28] sebsebseb: I think it is the NVIDIA Geforce [16:28] DemoOn: you realise this is #ubuntu? [16:28] vikasap: why 9.04? [16:28] IdleOne: because problem is with gnome\ [16:28] anil56554: I don't know, but Opera probably has one [16:28] demoon: can you tell me which icons [16:28] any1? [16:28] http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/1585/screenshotbbq.png [16:28] anil56554: Try JDownloader or GWget [16:29] DemoOn: gnome is also used on gentoo. better luck asking in #gentoo [16:29] hi all, i m using crossover 8 with ms office 2007 on ubuntu 9.04. i m planning to upgrade to 9.10 do i have to watch for any issues [16:29] IdleOne: no luck at all [16:29] !anyone | Diverdude [16:29] Diverdude: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."

Altough, you shouldn't experience any problems on 9.10 [16:29] sebsebseb, what are you talking about? I just posted a long question here [16:29] sdf23: well yeah [16:29] I want a automatic downloader that can download with link click in browsers [16:30] I'd recommend a clean install over an upgrade [16:30] anil56554: any advice? [16:30] theadmin: i do use that . actually i have to use outlook for exchange (comapny servers) [16:30] sdf23: the upgrade to 9.10 might go wrong, plus you don't get Grub 2 on upgrade, and I assume you done Ext3 for 9.04 since that's default, that won't get converted to Ext4 on upgrade, but you don't really need that anyway [16:30] sebsebseb: I dont have any other CD for the moment. I could upgrade it later once done with initial bot [16:30] *boot [16:30] anil56554: I see. I know of one, but it's Linux version is still in development [16:30] sdf23: really you don't need Grub 2 either, but in the long run it's better to have [16:30] sdf23: I guess [16:30] sebsebseb: And it is NVIDIA Quadro F 550 [16:30] theadmin: which one [16:30] sebsebseb, ??

(if you never heard about picnik before, then http://www.picnik.com/ will help you) [16:41] IdleOne, Hmm i dont recall so...but i cannot say it does not [16:41] Xfact1: ok it's FLash [16:41] Xfact1: Maybe you need Java too [16:41] Xfact1: Adobe Flash messe's up in FIrefox on Ubuntu, when it comes to some of us [16:41] Xfact1: it can make the browser freeze or close down, that kind of thing [16:41] CAPcap: I just did. It works ok. [16:41] Xfact1: Ah I know. Flash + Firefox + UPloading on Ubuntu = Freeze [16:41] need a simple DATA COUNTER für umts (perhaps as panel-plugin) [16:41] sebsebseb: yea, then which alternative I should use to run flash files? [16:41] CAPcap: Did you try what I said? [16:42] theadmin, yeah i have noticed that before. [16:42] Xfact1: Well... there is some free flash alternative in the repoes, but I forgot the name [16:42] theadmin, in fact its any browser with flash and uploading [16:42] Xfact1: you can try Gnash and Swfdec as alternatives to Flash, but they probably aren't quite good enough for your usage, you can also use Adobe Flash the Mozilla one in other browsers that use it, such as Epiphany sudo apt-get install epiphany-browser or Galeon [16:42] Diverdude: does matlab have a help forum you can post to? I really don't know how to help you with this issue, sorry [16:42] v yea, it's doesn't need java, and thats mean we have got a notable *bug* on ubuntu karmic!

[16:42] duffydack: I only tried Firefox :D [16:43] Xfact1: no [16:43] Xfact1: Adobe Flash is closed source, only Adobe can fix it for Ubuntu [16:43] IdleOne, Its strange because i never had this sort of problem when running matlab from windows....And it does not help to restart matlab. I have to restart the entire system [16:43] guys how do I go back in the terminal without quiting irssi? [16:43] CAPcap: Scroll up [16:44] i cant find what u said thats why im asking [16:44] Xfact1: however I think there's some kind of plugin issue with Firefox, hence that Flash issue. basically a plugin doesn't work properly, and then the browser goes wrong [16:44] can I disable the notification that popup?

[17:57] sebsebseb, I had half life 2 game running in wine :) just at 12 fps T.T [17:57] pif: it shouldn't ever ask you for a root password, it is probably asking for your password to confirm that you should autologin [17:57] a bit off-topic, but is it better to use wine or play a game in a windows VM? [17:57] inManix: 10GB [17:57] ill just spend the rest between home and xp [17:57] inManix: as long as you got big seperate /home [17:57] oh yes i will [17:57] guys, ubuntu doesn't work - help === akgraner is now known as akgraner_ === akgraner_ is now known as akgraner [17:57] inManix: 16G is recommended and also use symlinks for the musik folder, image folder etc.. [17:57] inManix: give it a little bit more than 10GB if you want, but you will probably find it doesn't get any where near filling up [17:57] so you won't need more space to see your images in another partitions [17:57] ya know... EA just started releasing a number of games including Need For Speed Undreground for my Palm Pre... which is Linux based. I'm hoping their efforts could extend to the rest of the Linux platforms one day. :-) [17:58] hi , im using ubuntu karmic and grub 1.5 , now i want to repair gurb with karmic live disk , how can i do that ? [17:58] gmendoza, really? [17:58] ola [17:58] yup.. [17:58] guntbert: inManix 16GB for a / when there's a seperate home, nah that's to much [17:58] ola [17:58] gmendoza, ;D [17:58] !es | luna [17:58] luna: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [17:58] hello [17:58] to create a symlink its just "ln -s shortcut" read the manpages: man ln [17:58] so for a good solid installation with plenty of room [17:58] 12gb? [17:58] ubottu, gracias [17:58] inManix: 12GB / is fine yes [17:58] srf [17:58] awesome [17:58] inManix: big seperate /home yep [17:59] one noob question....the values in partition programs [17:59] inManix: and a bit of swap space [17:59] why do they lie [17:59] goruka: what version are you running? [17:59] inManix: the partition sizes are done in mb [17:59] in spansh please [17:59] Nameless_au, gaming in a VM is close to impossible (terrible performance) - wine is the way to go [18:00] thanks sebsebseb :) [18:00] in spanish please [18:00] hello guys if i start my iptables script i get this"iptables v1.4.2: Couldn't load match `layer7':/lib/xtables/libipt_layer7.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" can somebody help me pleas [18:00] ZykoticK9: ok, just that every time i've tried to use wine i could never get it working... i was just wondering [18:00] no te entiendo [18:00] !es > luna [18:00] luna, please see my private message === asdshdskjauehjz is now known as yucatan [18:01] somebody.. [18:01] Nameless_au, you might want to try play-on-linux - just a front end for installing/running wine apps (also verify on the wine app db the game/program you are trying) [18:01] asdshdskjauehjz: where did you get the script? [18:01] you say 10,000, it sais 9950 [18:01] the values are never right, and 15 gig goes missing straight after format [18:02] inManix: oh right that [18:02] gmendoza, networking is unusable, and nvidia driver doesn't load by default (modprobe works, but it wont load it by default) [18:02] ZykoticK9: cool, i'll try out your suggestion (not that i really need to - i have a multiboot system) [18:02] i was just trying it out for the sake of it one day [18:02] gmendoza, which means i can't log in to my computer locally or remotelly [18:02] inManix: so you could have a 250GB hard disk, but a partition program might say you got like 230GB [18:02] inManix: if you're using an ext filesystem, check out the -m switch to tune2fs to set the reserved blocks percentage to 0. [18:03] sipior: what's that? [18:03] right well im gparting now [18:03] goruka: Do you have access to the computer right now? [18:03] sebsebseb: by default (historically), 5% of a filesystem was reserved for the root user only. [18:03] i want a primary ext4 12gb for ubuntu? [18:04] sebsebseb: with modern filesystem sizes, this is obviously no longer appropriate :-) [18:04] sipior: ok, then why does it also give a false value in a windows OS? [18:04] same reason? [18:04] Nameless_au: which false value? [18:04] Nameless_au, 1 does not equal 1 when you are talking about size in HD or memory [18:04] inManix: yes go with Ext4, oh and good idea to backup any important data from your hard disk, whatever file system you use, hard disks can go wrong and sometimes file systems as well [18:04] hello [18:04] sipior: well if i have a 10Gb partition, windows will say it's smaller than that [18:04] Nameless_au: probably because there are two definitions of "Gigabyte" (2^30 bytes, and 10^9 bytes) [18:04] Nameless_au: it's not a false value, it's just a different way of counting [18:05] sebsebseb: im just running a fresh install of xp [18:05] nothing else has happened [18:05] I disables all the lock_ keys from /apps/gnome-power-manager yet I still have a password prompt on resume... [18:05] :) [18:05] ah gotcha [18:05] gmendoza, i can't shell because networking is for a strange reason incredibly slow after the latest update [18:05] so i want primary instead of extended? [18:05] Nameless_au: Hard drive makers use SI units (makes HD sizes look larger) and most OSes report the size using conventional power-of-two units [18:05] gmendoza, and nvidia driver module works but does't load on startup, so X crashes [18:05] hey is picasa open-source ? [18:05] 2^30 would be more appropriate would it not (since we're dealing with binary)? [18:06] gmendoza, maybe i can enter in some sort of safe (nondisplay) mode? [18:06] quarkup: no it's not [18:06] :s [18:06] quarkup: I don't think so [18:06] :'( [18:06] Nameless_au: yes, but the "giga" prefix has a certain implication. [18:06] should be easy to port it to linux :s [18:06] anyway [18:06] Nameless_au: the power-of-two units should be called "MiB" "GiB" etc. [18:06] hello guys if i start my iptables script i get this"iptables v1.4.2: Couldn't load match `layer7':/lib/xtables/libipt_layer7.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" can somebody help me pleas [18:06] quarkup: there already is a version, however it needs their special version of Wine, if I remember correctly [18:06] anyone who can help me in getting a custom resolution to display? [18:06] quarkup: picasa is available for linux already [18:07] goruka: I'm going to PM you if you dont mind... better to keep track... [18:07] quarkup, although picasa is not opensource, there is already a linux version (it uses wine) [18:07] gmendoza, sure [18:07] quarkup: http://picasa.google.co.uk/linux/ [18:07] what is the difference between a primary and an extended partition? [18:07] hey [18:07] Chousuke: how would that be read out aloud? still 'megabyte', 'gigabyte'...? [18:07] it is not linux native. it has not been ported to linux [18:07] Nameless_au: Binary megabyte I guess [18:07] just has the wine bundled xD [18:07] inManix: an extended will hold other partitions inside it, you need that if you got I think it's more than four partitions [18:08] Nameless_au: but most people would just say megabyte :P [18:08] i was talking about the port [18:08] :D [18:08] inManix, most BIOSs can only recognize 4 primary partitions, so extended partitions are used to get past the 4 partition limit [18:08] hello everybody! does anyone know where do i have to put a script in order to make it run on every startup^ [18:08] primary it is then [18:08] ? [18:08] inManix: primary/logical makes no difference to Linux, really. [18:08] Chousuke: i've seen MiB in text before, thought it was either a typo or some weird european convention lol... thanks ! [18:08] Nameless_au: technically, "mebibyte" and "gibibyte", i believe. i think there's a reason they haven't caught on wildly... [18:08] sebsebseb: so which partitions do i need made prior to installation? im doing 100gig xp NTFS, 100gig for /home ext4, 12gig ext4 for ubuntu [18:08] do i need to make swap partition now? [18:09] sipior: now that is interesting! [18:09] sipior, i always thought it meant gigabit then i learnt there was a difference between Gb and GB [18:09] inManix: You can make a swap partition but if you forget it you can always use a swap file. [18:09] inManix: is SWAP needed or not is one question, another is how big should it be. it depends on RAM, and if people want to hibernate and such [18:10] well im on 2gig ram and looking to do 'some' gaming [18:10] kyle6513: i doubt most ppl know there is a difference b/n Gb and GB [18:10] some people say none, some say 4gig... [18:10] inManix: 4GB SWAP partition, but you probably don't really need it [18:10] inManix: are you ever going to hibernate the system? [18:10] inManix: unless your going to hibernate of course [18:10] inManix: if not, make it half a GB :P [18:10] inManix: you can always extend it later [18:10] inManix: by adding swap files [18:10] i dont like how 'to hibernate or not to hibernate' is such a decision [18:10] its scary [18:10] Nameless_au, yeah >.< but one is just bandwidth where one is size so i guess not many would need it, but these two terms do decieve you when you go buy an internet connection [18:11] lets just assume im not going to hibernate [18:11] inManix: well, I think that's not a problem either. You should be able to hibernate to swap files [18:11] how much i need? 500mb is optimum? [18:11] kyle6513: indeed [18:11] inManix, hibernate is mostly just for laptops [18:11] inManix: you can always add more if you run out :) [18:11] yo yo yo [18:11] so mb = millibit? :P [18:11] what would be a reason packages are held back during an upgrade.... i just tried to upgrade and my xorg is broke now [18:11] ignore that [18:11] Nameless_au, xD [18:11] sure, 500 partition being made lol [18:11] inManix: though if you go and fill half a gigabyte of swap on a desktop... you need to buy more RAM [18:12] pdlnhrd, T.T [18:12] pdlnhrd: the package is made but the deps it needs are not satisfiable yet [18:12] ActionParsnip: i'm not able to fix some problems ..i'll change distribution so...are there any config file i can save? mail... msn ecc ? [18:12] inManix: because if you really are actively swapping to that half a gigabyte, performance will be horrible. [18:12] anyone else notice using a laptop after resume with a ath5k driver for atheros card you have no connection using wicd, and network-manager can't keep a connection for more than 1miunte, which is why I'm using wicd to begin with? [18:13] ActionParsnip: is there a way to rescue my xserver ? [18:13] rek: most are the hidden folders in $HOME but some files in /etc are useful [18:13] ActionParsnip: i know... like? [18:13] inManix: on modern systems with gigabytes of RAM, swap is mostly there to prevent the kernel from freaking out in case you happen to temporarily run out of memory [18:13] pdlhrd: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg may help [18:13] ActionParsnip: mutt.rc then? [18:13] cool cool [18:14] so when i type in 100,000mb and it says 97.65 gib, just ignore it [18:14] cool.. pool going to the pool is cool [18:14] rek: smb.conf hosts dnsmasq.conf files like that. i dont know your system so cannot speculate [18:14] ActionParsnip: thank you [18:14] why i cant get in #debian and #linux? [18:14] tuvok use thestandard network manager its better for those cards [18:14] rek: anything you think you need, grab it. you should have them backed up anyway [18:14] ActionParsnip: i have mostly audio problems [18:15] inManix, that is if you are attempting to make a 100gb patition then yes, you see, we cannot have exactly 100gb due to the way computers work [18:15] exit [18:15] rek: got an audigy sound card by any chance? [18:16] the final useless question [18:16] guys, i've installed ubuntu using wubi... having problem with grub when i restart after updating the kernel... i'm reading a post ... how do i know which /dev/sdXY (parition) should i choose? [18:16] ActionParsnip: what? asus mobo [18:16] what do people label partitions? [18:16] :D [18:16] inManix, / for root, swap for swap and /home for home [18:16] ActionParsnip: i've also problems with my nvidia gts 2 my sys crashes.... the graphic and i need to reset [18:17] inManix, atleast, thats the MOUNT point >.< [18:17] sometimes ActionParsnip mp3s don't work or flash player doesn't work i'm sad [18:17] inmanix: i rarely do. if i do its what the partition stores for me but you can call it whatever you want [18:17] is it possible to make a button turn the backlight off on my laptops screen, like in windows? at the moment it just turns all colours off [18:17] im glad i didnt upgrade to 9.10 [18:17] rek: i see [18:18] Nameless_au, why? [18:18] kyle6513: try 'sleep 5;xset dpms force off' [18:18] kyle6513: cos it took me long enough to get this running how i wanted and fixing/working around all the bugs [18:18] clever, how would i bind that to a key [18:18] whenever i try to boot... i'm getting a kernel panic - not syncing: VFS unable to mount root fs on unknown block(8,1)... anyone? [18:18] 12gb /, 100gb /home, 500mb swap (all ext4), 125gb ntfs windows! finally [18:18] off i go [18:18] Nameless_au, ah i see [18:18] rek: try jaunty instead. its more mature [18:19] kyle6513: make a button for it on gnome-panel and maybe bind a key to it from there [18:19] sounds like 9.10 is very buggy [18:19] ActionParsnip: mature? we like teens [18:19] lol [18:19] clever, ah okay ^-^ [18:19] lol [18:19] rek: its been around longer [18:19] Hello? [18:19] I've got a message saying that one of my disks has too many bad sectors. I have multiple drives of the same make and model, How do i identify which one has the error?

[18:20] ActionParsnip: what was your term.... blood ... i mean when u said about electronics [18:20] kyle6513: yep [18:21] clever, alright thanks :) [18:21] rek: bleeding edge. it was you whom mentioned electronics [18:21] ActionParsnip: nvidia-glx-185 does not work no prop. driv in use that's why i downgraded to 8.10 [18:21] i just did a fresh install of ubuntu 9.10...im currently in term mode i cant start x...is there a way to load the nvidia driver from the terminal [18:21] rek: tried the nvidia ppa? you can try the 195 driver [18:22] ActionParsnip: yeah bleeding edge's cool but also retro computers.... i have some c64. do you? [18:22] x-frog: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-185 [18:22] ActionParsnip: what's ppa [18:22] !ppa [18:22] With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad.

How can I avoid that? [18:23] ActionParsnip: guntbrt would get angry isn't it? [18:24] JDahl, are you running "gksu nvidia-settings" and are you sure you aren't getting an error when you save?

[18:27] ActionParsnip: why does the automount work only with gnome? [18:27] hi [18:27] umbongiovanni: sure you can [18:27] rek: no idea. i dont use it [18:27] inManix: well it's a new partition, a blank one, but sure you can do the tick on format [18:27] ActionParsnip: is i sptitude get kde what will i get 4 ? [18:28] Umbongiovanni: that might depend on the apps you have installed.. I'm not sure if Gnome has updated it's config files between the versions.. things might end up being weird [18:28] ActionParsnip: config problems? where? [18:28] is there an automatic random wallpaper changer in the Ubuntu 8.04.3 LTS repositories? [18:28] sebsebseb: if it would let me.. [18:28] ciao giovanni [18:28] inManix: if its ext4 then it is already formatted [18:28] Umbongiovanni: well yes, but you might want to do your home in Ext4 since that's the default file system for 9.10. which also means you might want to put 9.10 on instead of 9.04 [18:28] rek: that wasnt english [18:28] ActionParsnip: are you like guntbert [18:28] ciao rek [18:28] Umbongiovanni: 9.04 is optional in 9.04 just not properly stable since the kernel and such [18:28] Plouj: some people use "feh" to change wallpapers .. in cron, I think [18:28] well i did it all with gparted, resized my initial hard drive, set to ext4, rebooted [18:28] uh that was meant to be Ext4 is optional in 9.04.... [18:28] rek: in what way? [18:28] it wont let me tick format so ill just go ahead [18:28] ok, I just ran "gksu nvidia-settings", applied the changes and saved, and checked that the time-stamp on xorg.conf had changed. In my xorg.conf file, there is only one monitor specified, is that correct? [18:28] ActionParsnip: rules lol ;-) [18:28] just it sais 320mb is in use [18:28] plz which is the port of no-ip (DNS application) because i have modify my firewall and now it doesn't work.. [18:29] i just installed and did the update but i am not sure it it loaded grub2 or not.. is there a way to check? also is there a way to update to grub2 or is reinstall required? [18:29] sebsebseb what would you reccomend? [18:29] rek: i keep to the guidelines, so in that repect yes [18:29] phobos_: modify the firewall to log everything it blocks [18:29] inmanix, ext4 is a type of formatting, if it worked, then its formattered [18:29] do u like gnome? === Odin is now known as Guest39941 [18:29] phobos_: isn't that an outgoing connection? [18:29] Slart: iptables can block outgoing also [18:29] karma_police: you can reinstall grub2 from livecd if it is not installed [18:29] Umbongiovanni: I like 9.04 overall more than 9.10, but there are reasons why it could be a good idea to put 9.10 on now rather than 9.04 [18:30] clever: true...

I have set bandwitch speed to half of what i have [18:36] Wok [18:36] kyle6513: im a little lost, iv created the partitions as ext4 in gparted, i understand i have to set them to what they are going to be [18:36] Hullo, could somebody please tell me what lines to put in menu.lst to be able to boot my Windows partition?

[18:36] jada: number of connections also has to be limited [18:36] inManix: in manual install you tell them what to use them as, not in gparted [18:37] inManix: tell them well tell it [18:37] #ubuntu-offtopic [18:37] inManix, in gparted of course, the swap partition is not formatted to ext4 right? [18:37] okei, u mean torrent files or [18:37] how are you all doing ? [18:37] phong_, good yourself [18:37] kyle6513: i did not choose format to no, i made unallocated space and set it as ext4, performed operations and restarted [18:37] phong_: hi [18:37] phobos_: from their site it seems that updating the ip is done by using a plain old HTTP GET [18:38] phobos_: so it should behave like regular web traffic [18:38] is it ok an ubuntu-9.10-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent for a core 2 duo E7300? [18:38] inManix, restarted your computer? O.o [18:38] inManix: you can make all three in gparted first or do it all in manual [18:38] Umbongiovanni: if you have a 64bit proccessor yes [18:38] sebsebseb: sure, so i select use as and select ex4 journal for all and swap for swap? [18:38] phobos_: http://www.no-ip.com/integrate/request/ [18:38] sebsebseb, I believe the core 2 duo is 64bit, as mine is... === BLACKTIGER is now known as MATRIX [18:38] inManix: for swap well you make it into a linux swap [18:38] inManix: the other two Ext4 [18:38] * kyle6513 has never used a 64 bit operating system [18:39] kyle6513: it's like 32bit.. but with more leg room =) [18:39] so ext4 journal filing system for / and /home, swap area for swap [18:39] gotcha [18:39] kyle6513: well they aren't a big deal at all, unless something is doing something that takes up a lot of resources or something [18:39] Slart: ty i go see that [18:39] kyle6513: someone not something above [18:39] Slart, haha, yeah, manages processes better right? [18:39] sebsebseb, so, better for gaming and such or? [18:39] inManix: Ext4 journerling file system for / and /home and Linux swap for the swap [18:40] kyle6513: for some games I guess so [18:40] sebsebseb: sais 'swap area' for swap, and im not mounting it anywhere right? [18:40] sebsebseb, so more for like, rendering and such? cpu intensive types of things? [18:40] kyle6513: ehm.. not that I've noticed.. from a blurry eyed user point-of-view it's the same as 32bit.. but you can use more memory..they say it's a little faster with some stuff as well [18:40] ++ [18:40] inManix, that is correct [18:40] what is number of connection, a) torrents file downloading or b) maximum peers per torrent? Loose internet connection after a few minutes when downloading torrentfile [18:40] kyle6513: yes more for stuff that uses a lot of CPU power and such [18:41] kyle6513: power? well that needs to use a lot of CPU yeah [18:41] sebsebseb, I see [18:41] does anybody know why brasero doesnt burn CDs, but k3b does? brasero just hung at preparing forEVER on 2 blank CDs. But on k3b, it burns fine. Ubuntu 9.10. Any ideas? [18:42] sebsebseb, so, its better to be using 64, just in case? since all of the linux software is compatible with 64 and 32 bit? [18:42] kyle6513: games this that and the other, Windows 7 this and that, a bit of Google Chrome this and that as well, that's what this channel is like these days :D anyway [18:42] !games | kyle6513 [18:42] kyle6513: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [18:42] Configure says "Error: you need to install the libbz2 library (for compression)" - how do I tell configure the correct path?

[18:43] kyle6513: and then sadly on top of that the useual issues, Adobe Flash, pulseaudio, ATI, and some Grub 2 issues now [18:43] kanzie: broadcast address is something else.. check the routing tables [18:43] kanzie: run 'ip route' [18:44] re [18:44] sebsebseb, I think thats the most of the reason linux isnt a leader in distributions, the fact that 1 support is done through things like irc(and most casual people have NO idea xD) and they say the best things in life are free, and its true, I've been able to customize my linux desktop better than i did windows in about 10 minutes of my time [18:44] kanzie: its the default one, on the 'via' line [18:44] kanzie: if you're looking for the external ip on your network there is sites like http://whatismyip.com [18:44] sorry guys i have a problem , i just finshed from installing ubuntu and my sound card is wokring voulem control is wokring , alsamixer is active but no out sound from the spaker === como is now known as Guest93068 [18:44] kyle6513: well some people are working on a proper manual aimed at beginners for the next one, it will be a free PDF download. anyway we just went off topic [18:44] sebsebseb, hey, even windows has issues, only problem is windows has adobe's and all hardware manufactures support, sadly... [18:44] hi all [18:44] sebsebseb, we did >.< [18:45] Matr|x, are the speakers plugged in? :P [18:45] yes === jcdury is now known as dury [18:45] I still haven't figured out this Mindtouch repo problem. It's like it's not organized properly: http://repo.mindtouch.com/xUbuntu_9.10/ These instructions here tell me to add what's apparently a malformed line to sources.list: http://developer.mindtouch.com/Official_MindTouch_Installation_Guides/Ubuntu_8.04_MindTouch_Deki_Community_Edition_Package_Installation [18:45] in windows xp sound very cool [18:45] anybody who knows how to configure torrent client so i dont loose internet connection, this never happend under xp or vista [18:45] that's for an older Ubuntu version, though... [18:46] kyle6513: and well yeah at the manufacture thing, and it's not just hardware support, it's popular commercial software support [18:46] hi to all, I'm trying to setup unattended-upgrades to upgrade custom repositories like personal repository or similar. I have searched on internet an readed some manfiles but I can't find anyting. [18:46] my friend and i were trying to install a driver for my wireless card, and used an instamagick installer thing, but my linux partition now refuses to boot, and goes into kernel panic if i try to. any ideas as to what went wrong, by any chance? [18:46] Matr|x, right click on the speaker, go preferences, go to the output tab, and make sure that analog output is selected in the drop down [18:46] SciRuoWa: well.. your wi-fi driver seems to be a very probable culprit.. tried uninstalling it? [18:47] sebsebseb, Its just nice to know that people like you, and many others take time out of their day to help users without getting paid(atleast i think you arent) whereas the microsoft support get paid, and they treat you like rubbish and are of no help! [18:47] I can not change the cursor theme for Ubuntu, can someone help me? [18:47] TecoMestre, I have that very same problem i believe [18:47] hello guys [18:48] kyle6513: yep loads of us who help in here that don't get paid for it [18:48] SciRuoWa: I'm not really sure here.. but you could try booting from a live cd (the regular ubuntu install cd is a live cd) and then try removing the compiled kernel module.. I think that will just give you an error message but a working kernel [18:48] The Preferences->Display shows "Unkown Monitor". So I cant switch on the dual display. Any ideas ? [18:48] does anybody know why brasero doesnt burn CDs, but k3b does? brasero just hung at preparing forEVER on 2 blank CDs. But on k3b, it burns fine. Ubuntu 9.10. Any ideas? [18:48] I'm recieveing an cron email every 10 minutes, with 3 lines. The first line is 'PHP Warning: Module 'imap' already loaded in Unknown on line 0'. How can I fix it? [18:48] * inManix hi5's sebsebseb [18:48] sebsebseb, :D [18:48] thanks, slart! [18:48] SciRuoWa: you're welcome [18:48] evry thing is good [18:48] but no sound [18:49] clear [18:49] right click on dexktop click change dexktop background than click theme than customize than pointers select the one you want you have to reboot for it to take place [18:49] afeijo: check your cronjobs, who is the user sending these? [18:49] looks like its to many users for the few ops [18:49] its funny that people like sebsebseb can be so generous...yet my girlfriend just had an engineer come out from dell to fix her laptop which broke half way through 3 weeks of exams. they replaced the hard-drive, reinstalled vista and left without installing any drivers [18:49] loz [18:49] *lolz [18:49] So I was dist-upgrading from 8.04 to 9.04 and that succeeded, so I went ahead and jumped to 9.10. Only my VNC session hung, if I try to connect with ssh it just sits there connecting before it even asks for a username. [18:49] I'm recieveing an cron email every 10 minutes, with 3 lines. The first line is 'PHP Warning: Module 'imap' already loaded in Unknown on line 0'. How can I fix it? [18:49] I hear it still working though. Any suggestions? [18:49] she can't connect to the internet, she can't even open a movie, she can't do jack. i have to go sort it out lol [18:49] inManix, LOL [18:50] http://paste.ubuntu.com/359342/ [18:50] afeijo: instead of spamming the channel rather read what is said to you.... [18:50] karmic. [18:50] inManix, did you get to keep the new harddrive? [18:50] anyone? [18:50] sorry guys i have a problem , i just finshed from installing ubuntu and my sound card is wokring voulem control is wokring , alsamixer is active but no out sound from the spaker [18:50] rofl [18:50] afeijo: check your crontab (crontab -l).. see what program is running every third minute.. when you know that we can continue troubleshooting [18:50] inManix: what's sad is that there are people like me, who will help loads of people online with computer, but that also don't have IT support jobs, but I don't want to work with Windows much, that's one of the reasons [18:50] !repeat [18:50] Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [18:51] afeijo: which is basically what nibbler told you a minute ago.. [18:51] matr]x have you done all the updates sudo apt-get update than update manager first [18:51] nop [18:51] sebsebseb, and you do it over the internet, they were there in person. [18:51] i still downloading media upntu [18:52] maybe he didnt plug in the soundconnector [18:52] :) [18:52] wheres a good place to find more stations for Internet radio that i can play from rhythmbox? [18:52] freku, no, already asked that ;P [18:52] nop [18:52] do them first that will probally solve your probs [18:52] evry thing is alright but i think its somthing block tthe sound [18:52] ouch, land of some damage => [ ] [18:52] What happens if the machine restarts during a dist-upgrade? [18:52] CAPcap, I want some australian radio stations :P [18:52] does sound work with live-cd [18:53] Anusien, VERY bad things [18:53] Anusien: hopefully you restart and continue your upgrade [18:53] Anusien: it might be messed up or you can just start it again, in fact there's a way to re start an upgrade if it goes wrong, but I don't know how [18:53] do sudo apt-get update that will take some time than go to update manager do that than go back and do sudp apt-get upgrade [18:53] Anusien: if you haven't made the proper sacrifices lately... well.. then things can get ugly =) [18:53] My machine literally won't respond to anything. I see no display on my LCD, I can't get in with VNC or ssh [18:53] oh dear.. [18:54] Anusien: try booting with a live cd [18:54] I hear it working, but it's been running this upgrade for like 12 hours, and it's possible it's waiting on some result [18:54] freku yes usually [18:56] Anusien: have you tried Ctl - alt and F1 , To get to console? [18:57] Is it possible to duplicate a hard drive over the network to another drive via samba? [18:58] kenyabob: Never done it before but you could use netcat and pipe it through samba [18:58] kenyabob: I don't think samba offers that kind of info.. you can duplicate the files but the disc structure might be hidden [18:58] kenyabob: do you really need to actually "duplicate" the disc? [18:58] kenyabob: Clonezilla can copy over the network to a samba share. [18:58] kenyabob: besides i think you dont need to duplicate, you could do it with one step in between easily [18:59] Slart: I have a machine that I have configured to perfection and now I must change the machine to a new that has an scsi drive that I cannot mount to the old one [18:59] kenyabob: oh.. wait nevermind.. you mean make a copy of a local hard drive and place that copy on a samba server? yes.. that would work [18:59] kenyabob: cat /dev/sda > /media/sambashare/target [18:59] jellow_: When I turn on the TV, I get a bouncing no signal [19:00] CTRL-ALT-F1 does nothing [19:00] A fresh Ubuntu/Firefox install, and F5 does not reload a web page. Is F5 over-ridden somehwere? It's Gnome desktop. [19:00] Slart: so I though doing it over the network would work, though I guess I could do it with an external hard drive for both [19:00] RichardLynch: it works on my system.. I don't think I've done anything special to my system when it comes to shortcuts [19:00] kenyabob: it is a linux system? [19:01] RichardLynch, check if your keyboard has a hotkey switch to get function keys working [19:01] nibbler: its ubuntu and I want to duplicate it to a blank hard drive on the other machine, essentially just migrating the data from one to the other [19:01] kenyabob: the image is basically just a big file.. so samba will work nicely.. or nfs or any kind of file server tech [19:01] Oh. Maybe that's it. Stupid Microsoft keyboard... The top of the button says "Open" and the vertical front of the button says F5. Now I have to figure out how to fix this stupid keyboard... [19:02] kenyabob: this is way more easy, you can copy the files, no need to touch the blockdevice (layer wise) - read "harddisk upgrade mini howto" [19:02] Anusien: You can force a safe restart with ctrl+alt+print screen + R + E + I + S + U + B, the reisub part doesn't have to be held down all at once, just one after another in that order. [19:02] F-lock? wft is F-lock? I want to strangle a Microsoft hardware engineer... [19:02] Anusien: Im confused is the tv using ubuntu? [19:02] kenyabob: I'm not sure you can do hard drive to hard drive over samba.. you might have to create an image file first.. ie remote drive-> image file -> local hard drive [19:02] Thanks for the help! Sorry it turned out to be faulty hardware. [19:02] jellow_: The TV is my display device, yeah [19:02] so I create a disk image on the old machine [19:03] transfer it [19:03] hmm, downloaded the 32-bit Ubuntu and burned on a dvd, put it in my computer and tried to boot but all I get is a prompt saying "boot: " [19:03] and then restore from the image on the new machien [19:03] if I try to write anything it says "Can not find kernel image linux" [19:03] !md5sum | kanzie [19:03] kanzie: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [19:03] Wow. Why does my nick here appear to me as "freenode"? Weird. [19:03] nibbler: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Hard-Disk-Upgrade/? [19:03] powertoo108: I still hear the disk spinning up and occasionally spinning down. Should I just give it some hours until it finishes? [19:03] kenyabob: that's what I would try [19:03] let me put the qustion like this, is it a common problem to loose internet connection while downloading torrent files in os ubuntu === Mud is now known as Mud|game [19:04] jada, no [19:04] RichardLynch: no idea why you're freenode on your system.. I see you as RichardLynch [19:04] Anusien: That command series should immediately reboot it, no waiting involved. [19:04] Slart: Local alias in pidgin got set to freenode, for some reason beyond my ken... Sorry about that. [19:04] kenyabob: yep, this. its justabout keeping the permissions to the files etc. if you dont want trouble with bootloader just install a new ubuntu of same type to target pc, and copy over all the directories but /proc /dev/ /boot /sys [19:04] hey everyone, i'd like to swap eth0 with eth1 is there a quick way to do that? [19:05] nibbler: so just read through this and figure out what needs to be copied over and what to forget about [19:05] kenyabob: install target pc, boot it with livedisk then, use rsync to transfer everything [19:05] nucking: Open up the box and switch them. Anything else is probably asking for trouble. [19:05] okei, strange that i never had this problem on windows, but good to know its going to be okei, if i configure it right [19:05] kenyabob: exactly [19:05] nucking: check in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules that's where ubuntu stores which network becomes eth0, eth1 and so on.. change it there and reboot [19:05] RichardLynch, one is onboard, the other is pci [19:05] Anusien: Just looked it up, the ctrl key isn't needed just hold alt+print screen the entire time, then reisub one at a time in order [19:05] Slart, thanks [19:05] nibbler, sorry, too fast channel [19:05] nucking: Maybe down in the BIOS you might find a setting for it... I sure doubt it. [19:06] Anusien: reisuo will shutdown instead of restarting it. [19:06] nibbler: the user is root [19:06] afeijo: you should have highlighting on lines with your nickname, xchat (and most irc clients) do it by (ubuntu) default [19:06] Anusien: If that doesn't work, you probably have to do a hard reset. [19:06] What network manager is used in Xubuntu? [19:06] afeijo: sudo crontab -l [19:06] nucking: You're asking a hardware question more than software, really... Not sure the right channel, but Ubuntu is too high-level, almost for sure. [19:06] powertoo108: Just wondering if I should do it or let it finish, and what will break if I reboot during this [19:07] network manager 0.7 in ubuntu [19:07] Anusien: It shouldn't break anything, but it will kill all running processes. [19:07] RichardLynch: Ubuntu maps interface names to ..

I have no way to monitor its process other than listening ot the hd [19:09] guntbert: Oh missed that part. I guess it could break something then? [19:09] nibbler: root crontab have no line that run every 10 minutes [19:09] \j #linuxac [19:09] Hi all. I have an old ibook clamshell (3GB hd, 280MB ram, 300Mhz G3) here and am looking for suggestions on how to optimize it. I was thinking of doing an install using the alternate cd and then run xfce (as gnome is probably too heavy)... any suggestions? [19:09] hi any program to reproduce the voice? text to speech l [19:10] afeijo: hmm, there is other sources for cronjobs in /etc/cron* but nothing that should be 3-minutely [19:10] Anusien: powertoo108: don't know for myself - just wanted to give you a heads up [19:10] afeijo: no idea then [19:10] guntbert: It seems to me that even if it guns the system, most of the data should be safe, right? [19:10] Anusien: Well I guess wait as long as you're willing to wait. But this method should fix it. I've only had one instance when the REISUB combo didn't work for me. [19:10] karelm, that's a PowerPC (vs Intel) be sure whatever OS you use supports PowerPC [19:11] powertoo108: ... what was that instance? === Floops[w]1 is now known as Floops[w] [19:11] what do u guys think, is it a torrent client problem or a configure problem that result in loosing internet connection [19:11] karelm: he.. for a second I read.. old ibook.. 3GB memory.. that doesn't sound so old.. or.. wait.. to answer your question.. try openbox or xfce.. or even some of the even leaner linux distros.. arch/DSL/puppylinux [19:11] !info festival | rek [19:11] rek: festival (source: festival): General multi-lingual speech synthesis system.

I actually have xubuntu running at the moment, but I was thinking that an alternate install would be faster...? [19:11] Anusien: "fix it" bad choice of words, it should restart, despite how frozen it seems, and yes, all hard drive data is safe since its shutdown in a proper way. [19:12] How long should a dist upgrade take? [19:12] I've installed ubuntu minimal installation, how do i install the window manager? like gnome? [19:12] Anusien: depends on the hardware, network connection and how much stuff you're upgrading [19:13] Slart: I tried lxde (uses openbox). I think its a little lighter but I like xfce more... it has a more polished feel [19:13] Average hardware from two years ago on a large pipe, upgrading just about everything. wondering if 24 hours is reasonable? [19:13] karelm, a generic linux kernel supplied with any popular distro will be too much for that thing. Use ubuntu as a base and build your own kernel. [19:13] Anusien: I don't really remember the specifics. But nothing responded, no ssh, ctrl+alt+f1 didn't work, no clicks on the drive, couldn't even open the cd drives. [19:13] how do i open an internet radio broadcast from shoutcast with rhythmbox? [19:13] Anusien: 24 hours seems a bit exessive.. anything over an hour would make me start troubleshooting [19:13] CAPcap: I think you need a plugin [19:13] The CD drive will open [19:14] Slart: Then I'm officially worried :) [19:14] lol [19:14] karelm: sure.. go with xfce then..

[19:15] karelm: you might want to remove any unneeded stuff running in the background... not really sure how to decide what to remove.. but try searching the ubuntu forums.. there has to be a "unpimp my ubuntu" thread somewhere [19:15] karelm: I think you'll end up with the same system.. the alternate install cd can do some extra tricks.. encrypted partitions and such [19:15] Any experts on bridging/transparent firewalls here? I have an odd issue which is that arp from the inside segment gets out, but only about 33% of replies get back to the requestor [19:15] the traffic coming back hits the eth0 and the br0, but not all get to eth1 on the inside, server is 8.04 [19:16] Hm, I just downloaded skype 2.1 beta 2 for Ubuntu [19:16] And how do you share screens? [19:16] domito_: and the arp replies are seen on the firewall, and get dropped then? [19:16] Can't find an option for it despite googling? [19:16] domito_: ah, your wrote, sorry [19:16] Slart: oh ok, hoped it would really make a difference... I don't really use the system so I can easily do a clean install, no need for backups or anything :) [19:17] domito_: its only true for arp? [19:17] nibbler: all are seen on the bridge and external IF, internal sees only 33% of replies [19:17] nibbler: no, arp is the cause of it though [19:17] how do i install the gnome windowmanager in ubuntu miniman installation?? === b_ is now known as bbr [19:17] domito_: #networking ? [19:17] no other packets get through cuz it does not get a hw address [19:17] jolaren: there is no "gnome window manager" [19:17] jolaren: only the wm or whole gnome ? [19:17] hi @ all [19:18] erUSUL: I was looking for such a channel, will try :) [19:18] blakkheim: metacity is the gnome wm [19:18] erUSUL; only the wm [19:18] erUSUL: metacity is a window manager that's the default in the gnome DE, but there is no window manager called gnome. that's what i meant. [19:18] karelm: well.. the installer itself might be a bit different.. I think the alternate cd has a text based installer.. the regular desktop one has prettier pictures [19:18] jolaren: look for others wm. metacity without gnome is pretty useless. [19:18] domito_: there is special methods which you can apply to generate packetloss, but i guess you didnt play with these? [19:19] jolaren: look into dwm/awesome/openbox/fluxbox imo [19:19] Slart: yes, but when I mean alternate I also mean... no gui to start with, and then build on top of it [19:19] sniker, checked this? http://www.webupd8.org/2010/01/skype-21-beta-2-for-linux-released.html [19:19] jolaren: openbox windowmaker or fluxbox is a better choices for a standalone wm [19:19] karelm: ah.. have you looked at the minimal install cd? [19:19] i have this irritating problem with ubuntu 9.10.. whenever i click on a terminal window, it is interpreted as a double-click.. this means that my copy buffer is wiped.. how can i fix this behaviour?

Just want it to stop [19:19] !minimal | karelm [19:19] karelm: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD).

If its pretty messed up, I'd grab the install cd and reinstall. Note: I have /home as its own partition so reinstalling is fast and I don't lose any /home data. Anyway, I've got to go now. Good luck with it. [19:20] what does sudo kill ? [19:20] gerzel: lsof |grep /dev/cdrom [19:20] nibbler: oh.. that sounds interesting.. anything I can google for to find how to simulate/generate packetloss in iptables? [19:20] powertoo108: I don't know if I was that smart [19:20] nibbler: no, I have been watching tcpdumps trying to find frags or dups with no success [19:20] or drops [19:20] powertoo108: but the livecd should let me mount the drive and back up if I have to [19:21] troopperi: Aha, so basically, if you don't have a webcam the screensharing feature doesn't work? Since I just upgraded but don't have that webcam icon since I don't have a webcam, the scrensharing feature doesn't work? [19:21] troopperi: Thanks very much for the link tho [19:21] Slart: dunno, just have some boot-cd here with which i can simulate latency/packetloss [19:21] gerzel: what was your kill command? [19:21] nibbler: no responce. [19:21] Any Scalix users in the house? [19:21] sudo kill 8889 [19:21] sniker, np :) [19:21] gerzel: did you put your cd device in the right place? [19:22] gerzel: try sudo kill -9 8889 [19:22] standard install. It had been working before. [19:22] can someone tell me what are (if any) the differences between ubuntu one and dropbox [19:22] nibbler: ah.. I think I found something.. there is a "nth" module that lets you do stuff to every nth packet.. thanks for the inspiration =) [19:22] Anusien: Well, worse case scenario, your system is trashed, you have to use a live cd to backup /home to an external or something, then reinstall, giving /home its own partition, then move files from your backup. It would be a pain, but its a fixable situation without worries of data loss imo. Yes, you shouldn't have any problems mounting the drives. [19:22] Hilikus: ubuntu one works bit betterwith some ubuntu apps, dropbox is better for different platforms [19:22] nibbler: there's also a "random" rule =) [19:22] Slart: welcome [19:23] system monitor says it is uninteruptable and -9 did not seem to render a change [19:23] nibbler: theres not unbuntu one windows client right [19:23] Can someone suggest why sudo might not find a command even if it's in the PATH? e.g. http://pastie.org/786952 [19:23] Slart: well, as far as I understood, the alternate can install a "command-line system", which assumed is kinda like the minimal cd... except packages are already on the cd... I need to get my install working using my wireless card, so I was afraid the minimal cd wouldn't work... [19:23] Hilikus: guess so, no idea. well and ubuntu one is a bit more open [19:23] Is it ok to use Ubuntu 9.04 instead of 9.10? Will i still get security updates ? [19:23] !9.04 [19:23] Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) was the tenth release of Ubuntu.

I'm not so sure about that.. I'm pretty sure the desktop and alternate versions install the same systems.. apart from some smaller differences in the installer... then there's a server version which is command line only.. and desktop which is the regular ubuntu install [19:24] Slart: I was going to follow this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems [19:24] oh well I gotta restart for updates anyway [19:24] !eol > daijoubu [19:24] daijoubu, please see my private message [19:25] Slart: It says "Disk space on an absolutely minimal installation can be reduced to as little as 600 MB". The xubuntu install is almost the full 3GB I have :p [19:26] karelm: yes.. there's a lot of stuff you can remove unless you actually need it.. things like GIMP or openoffice can use up lots of space [19:27] karelm: but 3 GB should be plenty for an empty system.. hang on.. I just installed 9.10 regular desktop version in a vm.. let me check how much disk space it uses [19:27] erUSUL, i just wanted to ask, because i can get all of my hardware to work under 9.04 but under 9.10 it's not possible, any idea what options do i have? Can i use 9.04 and hope for the best after it's dead? [19:28] karelm: that howto looked very dated.. as far as I can tell it's at least 2 years old [19:28] daijoubu: well; ideally you should try to make all hardware work in karmic (or sip karmic and try lucid) === Mud|game is now known as Mud [19:29] Slart: mmm, well, guess I can always try and see where I end up :) [19:29] well 9.04 seems surprisingly dead, lots of new stuff is just not packaged for it [19:29] erUSUL, i want tot ry Lucid but i can't get it to work with unetbootin and my usb stick, it doesn't make a bootable image on the usb, are there other tools for making Lucid install from USB sticks ? [19:29] karelm: in my vm, 9.10 64bit regular desktop version uses 2.3 GB fully installed [19:29] *try [19:30] daijoubu: i meant try lucid when it is out [19:30] karelm: openoffice alone probably uses 400MB+ [19:30] erUSUL, ok thank you [19:31] Slart: yes, it's something like that, but once the system is running, with swap etc, there isn't much left [19:31] Slart: maybe I'll upgrade the harddrive soon :), I just got the system [19:31] karelm: nope.. but once you have the system up and running you can start deleting stuff..

[19:44] erUSUL: that was one time.. and there was whiskey involved [19:44] Guest74163: yes, that's what I thought... so this leads me to believe it is not the hard drive... but it seems to occur only when the HD is in use [19:44] sebsebseb: I get to a login prompt... but... well... it no login! [19:44] CapitalistPig: there is you have to select the 64bit option on the page though probably [19:45] pkill does not help [19:45] Anusien: i dumped log files, dig outputs and much more [19:45] Slart: what is tw0 tim3s f|v3?

[19:46] Guest74163: yes, but why would it cause the live cd to crash? [19:46] Shazam: let's reply to your pm here, good point, if wanting to kill everything including the kernel, re boot or shut down yes. if wanting to kill standard running programs such as a browser or something like that, there are other ways [19:47] bdelin88: the kernel is the best tester... see the logs /var/log/messages [19:47] try smartmontools, I think [19:47] coool well i will try it then [19:47] see what all this ubuntu is about [19:47] Woohoo, I have a working machine! Whether or not I want to resume `dpkg --configure -a` I don't know [19:47] bdelin88: but if it freezes accessing the harddisk then you have a huge clue [19:47] erUSUL: i don't know how to use that if the live cd freezes though, bc the logs will be discarded when i have to shut off the power [19:47] what about microsoft office does that run on ubuntu? [19:47] Actually, /var/log/messages is right. [19:47] Open Office kicks M$ [19:48] CapitalistPig: you can use open office as an alternative or look into crossover office [19:48] CapitalistPig: good nick [19:48] CapitalistPig: yes , In wine [19:48] bdelin88: open a terminal do « tailf /var/log/messages » try to crash the livecd. see what is written [19:48] erUSUL: yes, i just kind o ffigured that linux was a little stronger than that, especially the livecd, i thought since it did not run off the live cd that it would continue to run just find and maybe just unmount or display an error [19:48] CapitalistPig, are you a troll? [19:48] CapitalistPig: which version of Office do you watn to run? there are good alternatives, and ways you can run Microsoft Office, Crossover Office is one way, but that program is paid thing, Wine on the other hand is free [19:48] can i edit a powerpoint and save it as a powerpoint? [19:48] for example? [19:48] if I type kill -9 irssi I get arguments should be jobs or process id's .How can I hind out the job? [19:48] erUSUL: nothing will be written though bc it is a cd...i have to restart because it freezes, thus discarding the log file, correct? [19:48] CapitalistPig: yes [19:48] CapitalistPig: Yes. I've been MS OFfice free for several years now [19:48] without actually having microsoft office for linux? [19:48] sebsebseb: I've tried adding single, removing quiet, but it just gives me a login prompt [19:48] ioka: use pkill instead if you want to do it by process name [19:48] ps aux or ps -C irssi [19:49] Anusien - but do you successfully collaborate with others in Word / Powerpoint? [19:49] CapitalistPig: You mean sharing doucments or what? [19:49] ozzloy: they might be, espesailly with that name, but even if they are, well they are going through new user type questions, which could be useful to have answered for other people as well [19:49] jrib: pkill does not work I get : no more processes [19:49] then, if i wait a few minutes, it says "Activating Swap"... at the login prompt... but even waiting 40 mins, i still get no love. [19:49] Anusien - i mean editing the same documents without having any conversion issues [19:49] i want smooth workflow [19:49] CapitalistPig: Are you on Windows now? [19:49] ioka - ps -C irssi to find pid for irssi [19:49] Anusien - 7 [19:49] ioka: surely pkill works. See man page for proper syntax perhaps? [19:49] CapitalistPig: it's not 100% compatible with newer features and things like macros and stuff...so if you're an office power user I wouldn't rely on it [19:49] sebsebseb, true. i guess it hasn't gotten too crazy [19:49] Hello, how to share internet connection from pppoe , to the network LAN crossover eth0 , like wlan0<==>pppoe to eth0? [19:49] * ozzloy goes to lunch [19:49] bdelin88 - damn, seirously? [19:49] CapitalistPig: Try this. Go download OpenOffice for Windows, and see if you can use it without any issues. If you run into issues, you know. If you don't, you also know [19:50] thats almost a deal breaker for me :( [19:50] CapitalistPig: are you an office power user?

[19:50] and have to prepare professional contracts and documents [19:50] what top output [19:50] CapitalistPig: with enough RAM you can run most Windows programs in a Windows virtual machine, and rather well indeed [19:50] jellow - :( [19:50] CapitalistPig: if they want to colaborate, they can all install openoffice [19:50] CapitalistPig: move on from office... [19:51] CapitalistPig: you can try openoffice in windows for a while and see if it feets your needs [19:51] CapitalistPig: Download Open Office on your windows machine, and see if it works for you. You can run the two side by side just fine (just don't open the same document in both at once!) [19:51] whatever I try to execute I get "no more processes " as a answer [19:51] CapitalistPig: yea of course... pleanty of those kinds of things, but i am saying not enterprise level stuff that is set up or designed a certain way to work in office '07+ [19:51] CapitalistPig: *fit* [19:51] brontosaurusrex - see i cant tell people to install things to read my documents [19:51] CapitalistPig, with a nick like that most ppl wouod think you're a Bill Gates fan :) [19:51] erUSUL, i tried them, but it didnt work :( [19:51] CapitalistPig: you can save in the Microsoft formats using Open Office, and open them as well [19:51] CapitalistPig: OOo can save as .doc... [19:51] yea im a huge bill gates fan, hes an excellent businessman [19:51] *peer* Why is it taking my machine several minutes to "Starting TiMidity++ ALSA midi emulation..."? [19:51] CapitalistPig: you can also create a vmware solution and have a windows install right inside linux and run it seamlessly.

I always submit doc [19:52] so i want to get on linux [19:52] you could probably do that on windows if you really wanted to [19:52] more often [19:52] erUSUL, yes it is use ppp0 , how to share it? [19:52] That doesn't require Linux though, but it's a goo didea :) [19:52] Does anyone know any way from grub to bypass init? [19:52] Guest74163: requested? that's insane? pdf isn't good enough? [19:52] CapitalistPig: some Microsoft format documents won't display properly in Open Office, but most will. you can even run those free Microsoft Word document viewers and such in Wine [19:52] CapitalistPig, you could install Ubuntu in VirtualBox or VirtualPC [19:52] u know anusien, but i want to be like a man's man in a computer sense [19:53] to understand things inside and out [19:53] CapitalistPig I run Xp in VirtualBox and never boot into Windows anymore [19:53] hotgirl19: what method did you tried ? the iptables one? [19:53] as long as you have a relatively new PC with about 2GB of ram or more you'll be fine [19:53] CapitalistPig: :) [19:53] Guest21816 - virtualbox = ? [19:53] virtualbox.org [19:53] Man yes!

[19:55] bdelin88 - shit i totally forgot about that [19:55] i have a Nokia that i sync [19:55] calendar only -- (i use gmail so its all web-based no sync needed) [19:55] and contacts [19:55] I haven't tried getting my iphone to sync on my server yet [19:55] whats the md5sum command for files that doesnt include the trailing \n ? [19:55] CapitalistPig: most Ubuntu users dual boot with WIndows [19:55] hotgirl19: no need; if you are using firestarter stick to it [19:55] CapitalistPig: or so it seems anyway [19:55] nvme, what are you trying to accomplish?

[19:56] nvme, md5sum filemname [19:56] CapitalistPig: you can have your current Windows install, and then put Ubuntu on as well on a dual boot, and then select which one to boot up when the computer is turned on or re booted [19:56] CapitalistPig: and one of them will automatically boot [19:56] re [19:56] CapitalistPig: You might find it's more useful to start with Cygwin [19:56] sebsebseb - yea :/ [19:56] Anusien: cygwin hrm [19:56] frostburn, i remember there is some issue with that and trailing endlines or something [19:57] cygwin sucks [19:57] and i am a linux user [19:57] hotgirl19: tried the one described in the wiki under Ubuntu 9.10 Method ?? seems the easier one [19:57] Anusien: interesting software I know, but not something I would recommend to someone who is new to this kind of software [19:57] i used to use mandrake, then slackware [19:57] erUSUL, thank you :) [19:57] Cygwin is more complicated you think than dual boots and virtual machines? [19:57] nvme, not that i'm aware of [19:57] CapitalistPig: use virtualbox [19:57] CapitalistPig: I have come to a point where I have a great appreciation for the linux community and OS'. However, I cannot use it for the desktop, that is just for me. I am a windows power user and I know how to do what I need, I have been running for 4+ years without virus protection just fine. I use linux for my server, etc, but I just can't make the switch, and you need to decide why exactly you are trying to make this switch, bec [19:57] ill just dual boot [19:57] Anusien: it's a shell, that runs command line apps, and such, last time I used it [19:58] sebsebseb: It's even less than that, but it has a shell, yeah [19:58] Anusien: it doesn't just run Firefox or that kind of software [19:58] CapitalistPig: Make sure you backup and read a good guide very carefully. Dual booting can be difficult because windows is twitchy [19:58] bdelin88 - my main reason is to just be more involved, learn more coding [19:58] and i think linux is a good enviro to be in for that [19:58] sebsebseb: Well of course not, because Cygwin runs under Windows [19:58] Audible: cygwin is really for geeks, not the "average computer user" [19:58] i mean mainly ill just be surfing, mail, and light office -- and media [19:58] rofl [19:58] CapitalistPig: here is what i recommend then... [19:58] Anusien: thought you would put that [19:58] hi [19:59] CapitalistPig: why not run vbox on windows and box into a linux system :) [19:59] CapitalistPig: it makes more sense... [19:59] It's a biiiiig leap? [19:59] than dualbooting? [19:59] CapitalistPig: first you need to find out what hardware works really [19:59] CapitalistPig: that's what I live CD is about [19:59] sebsebseb: Cygwin is a compatibilty DLL that lets you run compile linux applications for Windows [19:59] whats live cd [19:59] hey erUSUL [19:59] CapitalistPig: yea... why lose all your work and have to restart just to switch from one thing to another [19:59] Anusien, I don't see what's so complicated about a virtual machine [19:59] Leoneof`: hi [19:59] bja: How experienced are you with them? [19:59] it's how I use windows and how I build software for several servers [20:00] as far as I can tell, it involved clicking a couple times [20:00] then downloading an iso [20:00] bdelin88 - it just seems....stupid to run linux in a little program to do the things i could be doing in the system that im running that program in... [20:00] then clicking some more [20:00] CapitalistPig: it's also the install CD, but there's a live session on it, which is proper Ubuntu really, which is Ubuntu from a CD [20:00] sebsebseb - how do i run the livecd to test my hardware compatability? [20:00] CapitalistPig: was going to remove the proper Ubuntu bit, if things work on a Live CD they useually work in an install. the live cd session is rather similar to a proper install of Ubuntu, just will be a bit slower since it's running from a CD [20:00] sebsebseb - download link? [20:01] CapitalistPig, do you know how to select a boot device with your bios? [20:01] bja: Speaking as someone who lives on UNIX for several hours a day at work and run my own HTTP/SSH/SFTP server, starting over with linux and running windows inside as a VM is a huuuuuuge jump [20:01] CapitalistPig: it's your choice but if you want to restart every time just get back into your business system (i.e. if you use outlook, etc.. and stuff.. then it's a pain in the ass to go back and forth)... if you need to sync your phone, you will have to restart, think about it first is all i'm saying [20:01] bja - dude im not a computer noob [20:01] CapitalistPig: I think these other people nearly confussed you, oh you can virtual machine Windows, oh you can dual boot (ok that was me), oh you can do this cygwin thingey program. Really all you want right now is an Ubuntu Live CD [20:01] bja: yes, but you wont enjoy watching hd movies in linux in a box [20:01] Anusien, I suggested running virtualbox from windows and installing ubuntu in it [20:01] I don't really get, what's the meaning of the warning "You are about to install software that can't be authenticated". "wget" is listed in the updates that can't be authenticated. Should I just install the updates? [20:01] bdelin88 - nah i dont do outlook, i know enough to avoid getting caught in that trap [20:01] brontosaurusrex, I don't do that anyway [20:01] CapitalistPig: also to dual boot you would use that Live CD if you want to do that [20:01] Ah, I may have missed that [20:02] bdelin88 - i have TONS of friends who are miserable because their stuff is stuck in Outlook and its too dificult to mess with [20:02] !gpgerr | isolat3dsh33p [20:02] isolat3dsh33p: Getting GPG errors after adding custom repositories?

[20:02] I need 1.7.x for my dual-card setup [20:03] I'm worried that Lucid will probably hang back though, being a LTS [20:03] bj0rn2 - is there supposed to be a different livecd download though? [20:03] erUSUL, it's an GPG error? But wget is listed as well. And it's just a warning. :( [20:03] CapitalistPig: well all i'm saying is think about it... to me it sounds like you are just wanting to use linux just to use linux... and all the nice effects and everything, it's not a good enough reason, personally for me, to dual boot, but go for it [20:03] CapitalistPig: oh right Outlook well Codeweavers is meant to be the best for Office 2007, however Wine after a bit of configuring is good as well or something like that. You can think more about that kind of stuff later, first you should try Ubuntu from a Live CD. [20:03] bdelin88 - i appreciate it, i think youre right [20:03] CapitalistPig: download the ISO from the Ubuntu website for 9.10 [20:03] isolat3dsh33p: well it is weird that the updates repos lack the gpg key. but could be [20:04] Anusien, why aren't you in #tmd?

[20:17] how i can i list all shared memory regions? [20:17] djamel: your question is a bit more general really I think, you could try ##linux as well [20:17] I've installed Ubuntu 9.10 on my Acer Asphire One Netbook (Intel Core 2 Solo), works great, but once I do an online upgrade after install, and reboot the system is dead, I get cmov/libm.so.6: Invalid ELF Header [20:17] djamel: I don't understand, you want help setting up Ubuntu partitions or what? [20:17] assmonger: ipcs [20:17] anyway thanx for the help [20:17] i'll google some more [20:17] Hi all, I need to ask a very common question (I have googled but there are too many answers to this): I am turning to Linux and want to know the most recommended netbook that's fit for ubuntu [20:17] Is there an #ubuntuserver channel on freenode? [20:17] ben2000677: not sure if this mentions netbooks at all, but well [20:18] ben2000677: try ubuntu netbook remix [20:18] technicallyrite: #ubuntu-server [20:18] !hardware | ben2000677 [20:18] ben2000677: 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 [20:18] assmonger: there's nothing in "vmstat" ?

[20:18] domito_, isnt it buggy? [20:18] ben2000677: I put it on an Asus Eeepc 1005HA, runs great on that [20:18] assmonger: depends on the app and if it cleans up properly [20:18] I have it set up on a pen drive, but I need to disable the liveboot autologin [20:19] you can use ipcrm to remove them by force [20:19] yes I plan on getting the netbook remix so I hear acer and maybe dell are good akes to ook at [20:19] genii, what did? [20:19] domito_: thanks! [20:19] hi [20:19] domito_: ipcrm, thanks!

The worst is the touchpad because the buttons are flush with the chassis and hard to press ... get a wireless mouse [20:21] domito_, try an asus eeepc 1000H, it has a 10" screen with a 6 hour battery if you are just listening to music, it works great with ubuntu! [20:21] domito_: so is there any like bigger versions [20:22] netbooks aren't meant for big [20:22] so im guessing Acer is the make of choice it only really comes down to specs when choosing [20:22] linuxprobie, depends on what you want to be using it for... [20:23] they're meant for extremely portable and just powerful enough to get netsurfing, wordprocessing and messaging [20:23] ben2000677, what are the specs of the acer you're looking at [20:23] hence NETbook [20:23] sorry i mean Asus [20:23] ben2000677, yeah asus has done great things, even putting linux on it by default [20:23] Hey. If I get a message in Empathy, the TrayIcon changes to the symbol for "symbol not found". Is there a way how I can fix this? I have found now new_message-icon in /usr/share/empathy [20:23] well that;'s the thing, will I need more than 1gb of RAM for just coding [20:24] how does Linux specs compare to windows, surely they don't need to be as powerful [20:24] ben2000677: linux is very customizable.. it can be even worse than windows.. or much lighter.. [20:25] ben2000677: linux can run on 16MB of ram (in embedded situations) [20:25] Slart: yes, I've seen that ubuntu is like 1 out of loads of different variants [20:25] imMute: less than that [20:25] hey all, how can I set an alias for one address in my hard disk?

[21:33] hey, can someone help me with a torrent program? the default program (transmission) from the ubuntu install takeing too much resources while downloading more then 5 torrents [21:33] Glaucous: if you're going to use the schools proxy... you don't need to install a proxy of your own. You just need to chage your proxy client settings... [21:33] Glaucous: you don't need putty, just use ssh from the commandline [21:33] is t here a way on 9.10 to convert .mkv to a burnable dvd iso? [21:33] Glaucous: web proxy? take a look at squid - but be *careful* not to have an open proxy [21:33] octet: try rtorrent [21:33] thanks [21:34] I love how people get about 10 diff answers. hehe.

[22:02] spiritssight: is your system up to date? i.e. run updates [22:02] I have clicked 'next' and they're gone now [22:02] and firefox/ping/lynx doesn't connect to the net - xce does [22:02] any one from palestine ? [22:02] *xfce [22:02] how can I invoke those questions again ? [22:02] afaik = = ? [22:03] rek, as far as i know [22:03] rek: as far as i know === wh1901 is now known as Guest66498 [22:03] :) heh [22:03] jrib no automount with kde [22:03] I accidentally removed my volume control from my panel, how do i get it back? [22:03] wish^: it doesn't have all the same fonts that you might have had in windows. You can usually install them though. It just swaps out the font of bits it doesn't have the "right" font for. [22:03] CAPcap: right click -> add to panel [22:03] rek: As Far As I Know [22:03] nuckable: you have to follow directions given to you by asus [22:03] hello, anyone answer me? [22:04] jrib i dont see it there thats why im asking [22:04] prizm: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) [22:04] CAPcap: should be there [22:04] jrib, asus tells me to "make all" [22:04] rek, sudo apt-cache search kde [22:04] nuckable: really? That's the *only* documentation they give you? [22:04] CAPcap, generally, you idnt remove the volume control [22:04] I get this error whenever I try to install Ubuntu: mountall: error while loading share libraries: /lib/libudev.so.0: cannot read file data: Input/output error. init: mountall main process (1075) terminated with status 127 [22:04] jrib: that what I was trying to do first and that what I get when I go to admin then update manager [22:04] CAPcap, you removed the entire notifict ion area [22:04] but what about excel docs and powerpoint? [22:04] works fine? [22:04] CAPcap, that's whatyou need to add [22:04] spiritssight: what is "that" in your sentence? [22:04] CAPcap, the notification area [22:04] jrib, yup [22:04] not exactly ubuntu specific, but I guess someone here knows: pidgin doesn't seem to have an icon, I'm running Docky and it shows a question mark as the pidgin icon... any way to fix that? [22:04] wish^: it'l open them yes [22:04] nuckable: contact asus then [22:04] imachine thanks [22:05] np [22:05] anyone use remote desktop viewer, ultravnc, or tightvnc to go from their ubuntu box to an XP box? [22:05] jrib, thanks [22:05] and will the tables and cells work like they should? [22:05] militant, here [22:05] so i can edit as i want? [22:05] militant, what seems to be th problem? [22:05] I run ultravnc and teamviewer, without hassle [22:05] wish^: Yes, In my experience. [22:05] imachine, cool. when you do so, does it typically log you out of or lock your existing XP session? [22:05] only as client tho [22:05] vmware? [22:05] jrib: update the system before upgrading verison [22:05] spiritssight: yes, have you done that? [22:05] militant, in ultravnc? dunno. but there's a setting for that in ultravnc server. [22:05] militant, check your server settings. not relevant to ubuntu imho. [22:06] great now the pc wont even boot [22:06] wish^: was the "vmware?" question also directed at me? [22:06] imachine, i thought there was, but i couldn't get it to stop doing it before. and you're right, it's not really ubuntu-relevant, but i thought i'd ask kuz #ubuntu seemed a likely place to find someone who uses the stuff [22:06] hi folks [22:06] there's an option deliberately called "do not log off or lock on last client" [22:06] or something like that [22:06] go check. [22:06] does anybody know where i can get a wordlist with german substantives? [22:06] imachine i removed it because it was showing two but only 1 was doing something so i tried to get rid of the one that appeared useless, what was happening as i can now see is that for some reason it was displaying a volume icon instead of a wifi connection icon.... so weird [22:07] k. i think it didn't have that option or didn't work properly last time, but it's a fresh XP install now so we'll see. thanks :) [22:07] CAPcap, it hiccups sometimes. [22:07] anyone's using NX and compiz? [22:07] CAPcap, don;t worry about it too much, should be gone on reboot or login/logout [22:07] imachine obviously :P [22:07] senorpedro: wortschatz.uni-leipzig.de (as I told you like a year ago ;-) [22:07] militant, cheers [22:07] lightpriest: Nope [22:07] jrib: it won't let me, I get the not all updates can be installed dialog, I click do partial upgrade [22:07] oh its working fine now that i reloaded it :) [22:07] lightpriest: What is NX? [22:07] CAPcap, :) [22:08] I just got my X40 back online [22:08] NoMachine, neatx, FreeNX, etc. [22:08] I can't set up dual monitors Nvidia tool pick up the display but cannot save to Xorg.conf witht his error Failed to Phrase existing X config file /etc/X11/xorg.conf [22:08] spiritssight: in a terminal: sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade and then pastebin [22:08] with a non-ibm branded network card [22:08] neat [22:08] ;p [22:08] compressed/proxied X server [22:08] vlt, you never told me that [22:08] it beats intel iw2100 that's for sure [22:08] so, any ideas aout my issue? [22:08] about those question windows, not coming back up ? [22:09] or will they, eventually ? [22:09] i got a problem that windows that are loaded using NoMachine's client are getting dark (like they're not responding) [22:09] I'm guessing they should continue to biug me [22:09] jellow: did you run the nvidia tool with gksudo? you need root permissions to write to xorg.conf [22:09] lightpriest: nomachine ? [22:09] you know NoMachine? [22:09] NX, smt? ;p [22:09] ahh NX [22:10] no, [22:10] hello, i have a problem while trying to set up a multi boot system, I did the proper partitioning with GParted distro (I have a data only partition I don't want to lose) and then I installed Windows XP, but now Linux can't recognize the partions [22:10] jrib: http://pastebin.com/d5d53c81f [22:10] VCoolio, il try it one second [22:10] bahh, I'm trying to run eclipse remotely.. do you know a better way to do that? [22:10] spiritssight: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list* [22:10] nicanor5: define can't recognise the partition. [22:10] nicanor5: what are you doing that makes you think it can't see the partitions [22:11] ikonia: it says unallocated [22:11] lightpriest: NX is fine in my view [22:11] nicanor5: which os did you istall in which order ? [22:11] yeah but windows are darkening :) [22:11] nicanor5: then allocate the partitions [22:11] lightpriest: disable compiz [22:11] ikonia: i guess I could do that [22:11] Hello. I'm looking to install Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory 2.60b. I don't have any idea how to install things from source, so I was looking for a .deb package or this game in the repositories and cannot find either. Anybody know where to find this/if it excists? [22:11] DasEi: I've only installed windows XP [22:11] VCoolio, what the exact name of Nvidia tool thingy? [22:11] ikonia: do you know how to manually start a NX session with SSH? [22:11] nicanor5: then when you install ubuntu it will give you the option to partition (create your linux partitions) [22:11] jellow: hang on [22:12] lightpriest: not off the top of my head [22:12] ikonia: that would delete my data partion [22:12] nicanor5: so how Linux can(t) recognize it ? [22:12] ikonia: thank's, i'll disable compiz [22:12] jellow: try "gksudo nvidia-settings" [22:12] ikonia, you will probably now :) [22:12] nicanor5: no, the space is unallocated [22:12] imachine: what's up ? [22:12] DasEi: It recognizes the full disk but not the partitions in it [22:13] nicanor5: then there are no partitions on it beyond your windows one [22:13] ikonia, can you give me a hint? I installed fresh 9.10, setup encrypted home dir and all. upon initial login, two "important notifications" windows popped up, asking me to setup the encrypted home password, and to install missing language support [22:13] Hello. I want to record a small video clip using my webcam (v4l2 /dev/video0) and microphone in. What tool can I use on Ubuntu? [22:13] e [22:13] ikonia: but when I boot windows it recognizes the data partition [22:13] ikonia, I clicked next and nothing happened, the windows are gone, can I manually somehow bring them back up? I;d like to install language support and fully setup my encrypted home :) [22:13] nicanor5: can you please boot to a linux livecd and do "sudo fdisk -l" then pastebin the results [22:13] since all the partitions I have are full can I jump to shell and use fdisk to remove one and then use this space for installation in ubuntu installer? [22:14] imachine: do they not come back when you boot ? [22:14] vlt: you can try cheese [22:14] ikonia, nope [22:14] I want to run a copy of lucid for testing my own packages, do I need to download a fresh copy of each of the alpha and beta iso [22:14] kanzie: you can choose manual partition in installe menu [22:14] I can try once more but they didn't come back last time :p [22:14] brb [22:14] imachine: that's frustrating, if you know/search for the package names, you can boot it a non-X display === Ferris`away is now known as Ferris- [22:14] DasEi: I've tried, I click it but nothing happens [22:14] I want to run a copy of lucid for testing my own packages, do I need to download a fresh copy of each of the alpha and beta iso's or will it automatically upgrade to the latest? [22:15] kanzie: hd mussnt be mounted [22:15] is anyone here familiar with how initrd, luks/crytsetup work for full drive encryption? [22:15] DasEi: only the bar below becomes all orange [22:15] flyguy97: it will upgrade, but better ask in #ubuntu+1 [22:15] gmendoza: How to save the captured video clip? How to setup video codec settings in cheese? [22:15] imachine, oddly enough it works proper. thanks, though i'm not sure why it's different this time around.. [22:15] LjL: thanks [22:15] !cheese | vlt [22:15] kanzie forr whole disk you mean [22:15] Can anybody help a bit of a newbie install something from source? [22:16] with karmic using upstart, is sysv-rc-config still the proper tool to manage runlevels? if no, what is? [22:16] jrib: u want to know the files that all start with sources.list correct? [22:16] photocopy: what do you want to install [22:16] photocopy: sure. what's up? [22:16] spiritssight: yes [22:16] VCoolio: update-rc.d [22:16] !compile | photocopy [22:16] photocopy: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [22:16] ikonia: I just booted a livecd and all the partitions appear [22:16] photocopy: if the newbie gives us a good reason why they're installing stuff from source, perhaps :P [22:16] DasEi: yep, the full extent of the disk is orange... and on top of the screen I have the same bar but iwth partitions in different colours [22:16] Hi! Lately I've been having an issue with my netbook using ubuntu 9.10. After downloading and installing an update, I shut down my computer. When I restarted it, my computer would load up past grub, show the ubuntu symbol for a couple seconds and then completely freeze. After experiencing this, I tried running ubuntu in recovery mode, but I would get an error saying /sbin/init:error while loading shared libraries: /lib/l [22:16] ibdus-1.so.3: only ET_DYN and ET_EXEC can be loaded, a lot of other text and then "*ERROR* panic occured, switching back to text console, and then the comptuer is frozen again. I've tried going into the grub menu and booting from older kernels, but the same thing happens. I've also tried reinstalling ubuntu through a live CD image in a USB stick and that has also been unsucessful. Does anyone have any idea of what's wrong [22:16] vlt: cheese' options are very basic... just install and check available preferences. You can always reencode the video after it's been taken if you want. It won't help quality, but it's all up to you. [22:16] and what I should do? I've scoured the depths of google and I'm stumped [22:16] DrWolfen: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:16] nicanor5: so the partitions are there - what is not recognising the partitions ? [22:16] LjL: probably because the program isn't in the ubuntu repo. [22:16] LjL, DasEi, BinaryMan, ikonia, etc; I want to install Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory and its not in the repos or in a .deb package as far as my searching yields. [22:17] BinaryMan: let him answer then [22:17] member:DasEi: yep, the full extent of the disk is orange... and on top of the screen I have the same bar but iwth partitions in different colours [22:17] kanzie: for a standard install least need 2 partis, / and swap. ich you choose manual partition, can do so [22:17] ikonia: the old install (the one with the blue background) of another distro I want to install first [22:17] ikonia, nope, nothing on reboot [22:17] gmendoza: I already installed it. I can't find out how to finally sace the recorded video clip [22:17] BinaryMan: yeah that's possible, but i never assume that, because it often turns out to be a wrong assumption [22:17] gmendoza: *save [22:17] vlt... it's saved by default. [22:17] nicanor5: you said you had only installed windows [22:17] photocopy: foreign app, run as exe in [22:17] LjL: turns out it isn't ^^ sorry [22:17] !wine [22:17] 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 [22:17] DasEi: yeah I know,only choosing manual doesn't give me the option to do anything [22:17] ikonia: i have only installed windows [22:17] vlt... once you record it shows up at the bottom of cheese. The videos are available to play from there. [22:17] DasEi: it has a native version for linux i thought [22:18] ikonia, it wasn't standard dpkg info windows, it was some other config stuff. [22:18] ikonia: i was about to install this other distro [22:18] imachine: without knowing what packages it things are missing, not sure which ones woudl be correct to manually download [22:18] jrib: http://pastebin.com/d1507bd9c [22:18] nicanor5: then there is nothing to "not recgnise" your partitions [22:18] nicanor5: other distros are not supported here [22:18] DasEi: ET is a Linux app [22:18] spiritssight: I need teh actual contents... [22:18] photocopy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnemyTerritory [22:18] ikonia, it's okay with the language support, it's the home dir I worry about [22:18] or, feel uneasy ;p [22:18] ikonia: thank you [22:18] spiritssight: just sources.list and anything in sources.list.d [22:18] vlt: they are stored in a local directory, which you can move using your file manager. [22:18] mneptok: idk, tell photocopy [22:18] imachine: I assume you can't use your home dir now as it's encypted ? [22:18] DasEi: i just did. [22:19] :) [22:19] photocopy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnemyTerritory [22:19] gmendoza: I only get icons here when using the "take photo" mode. Do you know the name of the local folder? [22:19] lol @ marules exit [22:19] ikonia, using it as we speak [22:19] marcules* [22:19] Ouf. alright, well, Ill try following what mneptok/LjL linked me to, but whenever i try and do something like this i always seem to mess it all up ^^ [22:19] ikonia, but there's some password issue remaining to be setup [22:19] imachine: did you have to decrypt / mount it manually [22:19] photocopy: if you're unsure about any step, ask [22:19] photocopy: so do your gaming on a console as sane people do ;) [22:20] photocopy: http://www.playdeb.net/software/Enemy%20Territory [22:20] kanzie: hm, it should let you do that, the alternate installer has advanced options in partioning, but if you can choose whole disk, maual also should work [22:20] mneptok: haha, a good friend of mine still plays this, and wants me to play [22:20] ikonia, like I said, I just skipped the windows [22:20] photocopy: you'll proabably want to read http://www.playdeb.net/updates/Ubuntu/9.04/?category=FPS#how_to_install too [22:20] DasEi: I got it now, stupid mistake on my part, not to familiar with UI :-) [22:20] photocopy: oh, if it's on playdeb, that might be a better idea. (yeah i googled a little too, but didn't hit playdeb) [22:20] imachine: sorry, I didn't explain that clearly. to use /home do you have to manually unencrypt and mount it manually ? [22:20] ext4.. wow, is it working well? [22:20] nope [22:20] kanzie: y, got to choose before that window [22:21] imachine: so it works fine as is ? [22:21] VCoolio, Still same error [22:21] ikonia, the message in the window said that while it works, a password needs to be setup in case of an emergency recovery [22:21] DasEi: and 1.5xRAM is good for SWAP? [22:21] LjL: i used to play ET on Ubuntu. went through the whole hassle of getting it to work and used playdeb to get it. [22:21] imachine: ahhh I see [22:21] currently if emergency occurs, I just loose data, that's what I would assume [22:21] ikonia, anyway, I just want to trigger those mechanisms behind the windows [22:21] BinaryMan: Are those links supposed to work? firefox says that type isnt associated with anything, it's called "apt" so i assume somehow its a link that tries to make apt automatically install it? [22:21] ikonia, sorry that I can't word the "window" any better [22:22] i just needed google to find the link for it. [22:22] imachine: no, you'd have to decypt it manually [22:22] imachine: I know what you mean, it's fine [22:22] safe :) [22:22] photocopy: did you read the second link I gave you? [22:22] photocopy: http://www.playdeb.net/updates/Ubuntu/9.04/?category=FPS#how_to_install [22:22] imachine: as long as you know the password, you can decrypt it manually in an emergency [22:22] ikonia: it's me again, I'm trying to install Ubuntu 9.04, and again the installation can't recognize the partitions, of my HD, the only option I get is: new partition table [22:22] ikonia, so, any clues as to how I might go on about launching those windows once more ? [22:22] BinaryMan: oh okay oops [22:22] if i go to a site that has fonts that i could use for windows, how can i install them here? [22:22] ikonia, I'd still like that, ideally [22:22] windows u just drag and drop [22:23] nicanor5: I find that hard to beleieve, if your sudo fdisk -l command shows it - it can see the partitions [22:23] !fonts > CAPcap (CAPcap, see the private message from ubottu) [22:23] DasEi: so I make / primary and swap logical then? [22:23] kanzie: depends.. to hibenate double RAM, I dont use swap at all [22:23] CAPcap: generally you can put them in ~/.fonts [22:23] photocopy: When adding the deb address, replace karmic-getdeb to jaunty if your using jaunty, etc. If you're using karmic, you're all set. [22:23] imachine: how do you know it doesn't want you to do that manually when you press next (I've never heard of a tool setting it up for you) [22:23] kanzie no matter prim/log [22:23] thanls LjL and trism [22:23] jrib: here they are if its not what you wanted please explain on to obtain http://pastebin.com/d11ba83ae [22:23] Everyone: Does anyone know how to install Ubuntu if the graphical installer keeps crashing and no other install discs are available? [22:23] ikonia: I'm surprised as you are, as I already said, the livecd and the fdisk -l see the partitions [22:24] Anyone in here make a usbkey installer for ubuntu not using the method of copying the iso to a disk [22:24] Nz17: getting some more cd's and burning the alternative installer is a good idea [22:24] omitiendo la partición vacía (5) [22:24] Disco /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes [22:24] 255 cabezas, 63 sectores/pista, 19457 cilindros [22:24] Unidades = cilindros de 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes [22:24] Identificador de disco: 0x0000d1c1 [22:24] Disposit. Inicio Comienzo Fin Bloques Id Sistema [22:24] shit. BinaryMan, im actually using linux mint 8 which is based on ubuntu 9.10 and uses all the same repos and stuff, do i use karmic-getdeb still? [22:24] ikonia, no, there's two options, next and "launch this now" [22:24] nicanor5: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:24] ikonia: I would if I could, but the person I' [22:24] ikonia, ofcourse I had to click next ;) [22:24] Nz17: checked cd for deects ? [22:24] nicanor5: I suspect you're not reading the test clearly [22:24] photocopy: control your lanaguage [22:24] ikonia, which took me to issue two, which was the languages missing [22:24] ikonia: am helping is hundreds of miles away and has no disc. [22:24] but there was no 'back' button:) [22:24] Nz17: he needs to go and buy some them [22:24] spiritssight: thanks. Have you installed anything outside the repositories? [22:25] imachine: it may just be "for your information" rather than a tool [22:25] ikonia, I can't seem to find an alternate intaller for what I need. I need 9.04 server [22:25] installing language support now.. only the disk issue stays fishy [22:25] ikonia: That's not an option - no money and the nearest place is 20 miles away. [22:25] and I need to modify the initrd [22:25] for the intaller [22:25] ikonia, I'm pretty sure it's a tool, I've used it before 90% [22:25] dbruhn: the server cd does not have an alternative installer, as it's a text based installer any way [22:25] ikonia: what do you mean? [22:25] Nz17: install via usb ? [22:25] imachine: ahh, I've never used it [22:25] nicanor5: what partitioning option did you select, you should have multiple choices [22:25] ya, encrypted home sounds nice:) [22:25] specially on a laptop [22:25] oh sorry maybe I am in on a second conversation [22:26] the server cd doesn't come with X or a window manager either, afaik. it's really intended for servers. [22:26] thus, 'server' cd. [22:26] ikonia: I have installed ubuntu and other distros a lot of times, and never happened this before [22:26] there used to be an 'alternate' cd [22:26] or so [22:26] maybe that;s what he means [22:26] imachine: there is [22:26] imachine: except benchmarks on it show that it's murders disk read/write performance. [22:26] * imachine is not really paying attention, soz [22:26] nicanor5: ok - so which partitioning option did you chose [22:27] :) [22:27] imachine: just not for the server release [22:27] ikonia: Turns out there was a defect with the CD. Thanks anyway, guys. [22:27] ikonia: the only two options I get when I get to the partitioning part are: use all the disk and manually specify partitions [22:27] Nz17: good find [22:27] brb [22:27] and a lot of sensitive data is kept in swap, /opt, and /var [22:27] nicanor5: and what happens when you select manual [22:27] BinaryMan: I went here and http://www.playdeb.net/updates/Ubuntu/9.04/?category=FPS#how_to_install installed the playdeb package but the install link still does the same thing. the browser isn't handling the command that link seems to be giving it. "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (apt) isn't associated with any program." makes sense. What do I do?

[23:02] i have autologgin enabled [23:02] Guest21426 google download VirtualBox [23:02] Guest4234: it's not in the repo [23:02] Desktop and .nautilus are world readable and writable by user [23:02] Guest21426: * [23:02] oh [23:02] hrm how do i loc a user off without being said user [23:02] Guest21426: Hompepage, Name irtualBox [23:02] log [23:02] soreau: i just copy and pasted your command, set the settings, and logged out. then i logged back in and it was back to "None" [23:02] when someone respondes to my question my id is highlighted in yellow... how do I make the id highlighted?

[23:03] I'll mention it in the mac support forums, but my macbook 4,1 in any of the default 9.10 kernels would suspend, then when turned on again, wouldn't resume in any real manner - keyboard lights wouldn't even change. Compiling 2.6.32.4 from source and installing fixed this issue.

[23:04] csh: oh you also have unbalanced parenthesis in percentage (either drop the one just after print or add another to the end of that line) [23:04] ikonia: the problem is that autologging is not compatible with encrypted hd [23:04] seren: Unknown error [23:04] prefrontal_: ah, well my logolink webcam can do so, but I really wonder if you can skype-use it, shall work in that dialog, too [23:04] x-fi xtreme audio can put sound really work but she can put sound in the speakers ? [23:04] hello [23:04] jack5463, cool. I would find a similar script and integrate it with xchat, but I am no programmer. (For this is why I came here - I made syntax errors in a python script!) [23:05] Since usb-creator.exe doesn't exist on the 9.10 i386 image. Unetbootin is my alt. method? [23:05] wish^, there is a windows installer for ubuntu, it's called wubi, you can install it within windows [23:05] henux: I've not used that combination [23:05] Does anybody know how I can change the way the icons in my panel react when they need attention? For example if I get an IM, how can I adjust the way the IM box in the task bar acts? [23:05] jrib: No I have not installed any thing that I can recall (nope :-) ) sorry for the delay was eating [23:05] yeo [23:05] cisco21c: yes, or pendrivelinux [23:05] spiritssight: pastebin: apt-cache policy libgnomekbd2 [23:05] problem solved [23:05] 9.10 is not very good IMO [23:05] x-fi xtreme audio work but dont put speakers ? [23:06] im going to sleep now, its 1:00 AM [23:06] 9.10 certainly isnt as bad as most people think [23:06] Ill say that much [23:06] blakkheim: i've installed unrar and done what you've suggested, to no avail. but thanks for the try [23:06] wish^ no wubi.... try the live environment first to see all goes well then do a native install. [23:06] cisco21c: on a machine with enough ram can also install usbcreator in a live cd [23:06] Roasted_: it has been the worst ubuntu experience so far, too much problems with no gains [23:06] for me [23:06] I installed kubuntu-desktop now. But now I have on boot screen first the kubuntu loading, then the ubuntu loading grafic. Also when I login to gnome I have the kde mouse and mouse loading...any ideas? [23:06] see you, im going to zzzz [23:06] cisco21c: unetbootin is there for win, too [23:07] henux - to each his own. Its been the best for me. And besides, I doubt the devs care much about 9.10 bugs when 10.04 is an LTS... can you blame them? [23:07] csh, mIRC has a script that incorporates google translator i believe... saw it in a search but didn't read more === jens is now known as Guest89132 [23:07] Roasted_: every release everyone claims $previous_release was the best, this release is the worst. Basically people get used to certain bugs and then there are new ones they aren't used to [23:07] yeah, I agree jrib [23:07] trism: ok. I was hesitant to write "for var in list[]". Hehe, I guess i should have tried it... [23:08] I remember people badmouthing 9.04. then all of the sudden 9.04 is top dog. what the?? [23:08] Roasted_, the devs will try to look at the bugs, have you filed a bug report in launch pad? [23:08] filed a bug? I dont have any problems with 9.10. :P [23:08] any one know open gl codec for x-fi xtreme audio pci-e ? [23:08] ikonia: i created a new user, deleted the old user, now same problem persists with the old user [23:08] Like: opengl is nothing to do with your audio problems [23:08] tucemiux, my point was I doubt the same manpower for 9.10 bug crunching is there in comparison to 9.04. With 10.04 being around the corner, and an LTS, Id certainly put mye nergy towards 10.04, moreso than normal. [23:08] i'm using 9.10 and no problems from live cd [23:09] jrib: http://pastebin.com/d6c1cb94e [23:09] seren: so at least you know it's system wide - not that, that helps [23:09] csh: you could also do for i in range(len(list_a)): percentage(list_a[i], list_b[i]), but I think using zip is nicer [23:09] hi [23:09] can one install kernel 2.6.32.4.generic into a 9.04 jaunty? [23:09] Like: I really dont like that card, but you can find something on alsaproject.org [23:09] ikonia: no its user specific sorry i wasnt clear, user a has problems, user b doesnt [23:09] uffdaa: yes [23:09] seren: oooh [23:09] spiritssight: that suggests that package isn't from any ubuntu repository [23:09] Roasted_, my point is, have you posted a bug report or not, this conversation is going off topic [23:09] why not open sound system [23:10] DasEi; thanks [23:10] ikonia, I installed kubuntu-desktop now. But now I have on boot screen first the kubuntu loading, then the ubuntu loading grafic. Also when I login to gnome I have the kde mouse and mouse loading...any ideas? [23:10] IS ubuntu 64 bit fully supported yet because i just got a core i7 but i don't know whether to get 32 bit or 64. [23:10] tucemiux, my point is, as I said, I DONT have any bugs. [23:10] conb123: yes, it is [23:10] DasEi: Oh brilliant [23:11] jrib: so how can I fix it as I its been over a year since used this system [23:11] hello! [23:11] hi [23:11] spiritssight: well removing the package would be one way [23:11] hello all. big time noob here [23:11] is their any way to search the filesystem for files owned by a specific user? [23:11] jrib: what the best way to do that [23:12] conb123: how much ram do you have [23:12] spiritssight: use synaptic. After you do that pastebin the apt-cache policy result for the other 3 packages in http://pastebin.com/d5d53c81f [23:12] blakkheim: 4gb why? [23:12] seren, from the command line, sudo find / -user $username [23:13] conb123: i was going to say you might want to use 32bit if you have 4gb or less [23:13] trumpen: thanks i was digging through man find [23:13] blakkheim: Yeah i've heard people say that, but 64 bit is faster isn't it and if all the applications support it i don't see much reason not to [23:14] conb123: no, 64bit applications are not all faster, only a select few have any speed benefit [23:14] conb123: in most cases the 64bit apps are actually bigger, require more ram and are slower [23:14] seren, yw [23:14] I'm using the program "LuckyBackup" to create backups of my user data, for example my Thunderbird Profile folder. But I've a question about that: As BackUp method i choose "Backup the entire source directory (by name)". Now I've a simple example to show my question: I have three addons installed in thunderbird and create the backup. Now I remove two of these addons because I don't like them. Also the addon-files in the thunderbird profile [23:14] folder are deleted now. If i run the backup again, are these files also deleted in the target-folder? Or contains the target folder everything the source folder has EVER been containing? [23:14] slower? thats not true, especially for the "most cases" [23:15] cxo: slower to open, let me clarify [23:15] blakkheim: Really? I thought other than the possibility of more than 4gb of ram the added speed was the whole point of 64 bit [23:15] conb123: more than 4gb of ram is pretty much "the" reason to use 64bit [23:15] Or well, what I want is something like completly removing the already existing backup before running it again. [23:16] blakkheim: heh, there is a considerable difference between converting videos and such using 32bit and 64bit [23:16] what's a good resource for setting up linux client/servers in an enterprise type environment like you would for windows and active directory? [23:16] 64-bit data structures can take up more space in the L1/L2/L3 caches which may cause code to run somewhat slower [23:16] greentiger: ldap [23:17] There's no boot from USB in my BIOS, just: floppy diskette drive, hard drive, cd-rom drive and network adapter. what now? [23:17] i am yet to see this "slow down" for 64bit [23:17] is it possible to create a user who can only see into one directory, and has no permissions apart from that. [23:17] [EWG]-maje11 XDCC SEND #7 [23:17] no home folder for example [23:17] so far, for the past.. 3-4 years ive been running on 64bit only linux, i have not noticed such a thing [23:17] DasEi: obviously, but i mean like a howto [23:18] cisco21c: no usb boot then, though did you stick in the usb before looking ? [23:18] What's the command to make myself root again? I forget =X [23:18] Does anybody know how I can change the way the icons in my panel react when they need attention? For example if I get an IM, how can I adjust the way the IM box in the task bar acts?

The latest problem is the gnome Panel disappears after Login, leaving no way to get apps of any kind. [23:18] blakkheim: use « sudo -i » not « sudo su » [23:18] beenbassin: i knew someone would jump on that and start the "dont use root" etc [23:18] Drew3, what nvidia card are you using [23:19] 8600gt roasted [23:19] what drivers were you using? [23:19] and were you trying to install from the hardware manager? [23:19] DasEi: Yes, it just skips over everything and goes straight to trying to boot from LAN. [23:19] 186xx Roasted [23:20] do you currently have dual screens running, but just the gnome panel dsiappearing? [23:20] I have a CD that I had to unhide a file on, how do I undo the unhide so that I can eject? When I try it gives me an error : umount: /media/cdrom0 is not in the fstab (and you are not root) [23:20] cisco21c: I assume you got another machine, you can also drag out the hd of the hp, put it in usb-eclosure and install ubuntu on another machine /w cd or usb boot [23:20] cisco21c: sure there is no "removable devices" option in boot settings? [23:20] jrib: the update manger UI told me to run apt-get install -f I think it was and not update UI is allowing the update [23:21] hello all [23:21] beenbassin: sudo umount? [23:21] At this moment I am on a live CD Roasted I can get only one monitor to work and immediately after login the panel goes poof. If I could get one monitor working I'd be all set (I think) Roasted [23:22] Drew3, are you using sudo nvidia-settings when you set up the dual monitors/ [23:22] giemini: Just gives me usage data [23:22] Where's the best place to get a usb-enclosure, onlines not a problem.

[23:24] Drew3, the only thing I can recommend is to boot in terminal mode, run sudo nvidia-xconfig, reboot, and log in as normal and hope the primary monitor works. After that, run sudo nvidia-settings and see if you can set up dual monitors without it acting up on you. [23:24] cisco21c: if you plan to use it for 2,5" only, can even just use a usb adaptor, <= 10 Euro, newegg or ebay or .. whatever [23:24] Does anybody know how I can change the way the icons in my panel react when they need attention? For example if I get an IM, how can I adjust the way the IM box in the task bar acts? [23:24] giemini: Thanks, that was it!

[23:25] Roasted nvidia-xconfig hmm ty [23:26] Drew3, its worth a shot. I did it recently. [23:26] cisco21c: if you that way, install base-system, put back hd, boot to safemode, reconfigure x and do an update/grade [23:26] Drew3, Im running dual monitors on a nvidia 9600gt. [23:26] go [23:26] Drew3, I had to run nvidia-xconfig in order to generate a xorg file to save video settings in. Then in nvidia-settings I applied it to the xorg.conf in the actual menu. Its a button right below "Apply" I think [23:27] Hi guys. I have ubuntu and debian installed dual boot. I don't really know what i'm doing. They each have 15gb partitions, and a shared home. I can boot into ubuntu, but when i pick the debian thing in the grub menu it won't let me. Is that because I didn't install a boot loader for debian? [23:27] Base-system meaning WinXP that came with it? [23:27] does mibbit work with ubuntu? [23:28] lakotajames: no, you first installed debian, then karmic ? [23:28] cisco21c: no, Ubuntu, but dont update from installer [23:29] DasEi: I attempted to install debian, but it was taking too long and I needed to use the compy so i stopped it and installed ubuntu on the other partition, which recognized the debian on the first partition. Then i reinstalled debian over the second one. [23:29] I have had dual working in Mandriva for years, the lack of a xorg.config file baffles me, and it seems the xorg.config files are not transferable from Mandriva to *buntu's. Roasted thanks, [23:30] lakotajames: I see, and now grub just lets you choose ubuntu, well, was that karmic-ubuntu ? [23:30] So just install Ubuntu using the ISO I've downloaded from the website and update from ubuntu itself? [23:30] Drew3, Yeah. I recenty came from mandriva to ubuntu myself. Very solid distros, just a bit different. [23:30] Drew3, good luck. And dont forget ubuntuforums.org. Very helpful users there. [23:30] karmic. And it has a choice for debian, but it doesn't work. I can't remember the error. :( [23:30] cisco21c: yes, when back in laptop [23:30] err. [23:30] DasEi:karmic. And it has a choice for debian, but it doesn't work. I can't remember the error. :( [23:30] :p [23:31] quick question, if I wanted to switch from ubuntu to mythbuntu could I just apt-get install mythbuntu-desktop && apt-get purge ubuntu-desktop? [23:31] I dont think youd want to do that at the same time [23:31] DasEi: I mean, the karmic grub has a choice for debian, and when i choose it it gives me an error about not being able to find something, or something being missing , or something. [23:31] maybe install mythbuntu, boot to it, THEN remove ubuntu-desktop [23:32] lakotajames: karmic comes with grub2, I think debian is still grub1, you will have to manually adjust /boot/grub/menu.lst [23:32] looking for aid with a local web dev lamp server setup [23:32] install mythbuntu + remove ubuntu-desktop while booted into gnome sounds like a bad idea :P [23:32] luckyone: removing ubuntu-desktop will pretty much do nothing [23:32] helloeveryone [23:32] how can i check in what usb port my external hd is plugged? lspci lists four; one of them is usb2 and that's the one I want my hd in... [23:32] DasEi: I chose not to install a bootloader with debian, since i already had the one in karmic. Do i need to fix that? [23:32] trism: do you think just installing from scratch is a better idea? [23:32] one of my sata drives is a little screwed up, Disk Utility is telling me a number of my sectors are waiting to be remapped. If the sector waiting to be remapped is subsequently written or read successfully this value will be decreased. Read Errors on the sector will not remap the sector, it will only be remapped on a failed write attempt. Basically I have a few bad sectors, whats the fastest/easiest way to fix it? [23:33] the thing is acting wonky [23:33] hello, anyone know how to remove a device driver? [23:33] luckyone: no, I just meant, it isn't going to remove any of the packages ubuntu-desktop installs that aren't needed by mythbuntu-desktop [23:33] its scaring me cuz i have 400 gigs of stuff on it [23:33] lakotajames: no, but then you got grub 2 on it [23:33] trism: I have repurposed a box and want to remove things like gnome, open office, etc [23:33] MCSpanner1: sudo modprobe -r [23:33] Does anybody know how I can change the way the icons in my panel react when they need attention? For example if I get an IM, how can I adjust the way the IM box in the task bar acts? [23:34] trism: so I was hoping to end up with only packages needed by mythbuntu-desktop [23:34] lakotajames: you can use either grub 1 or 2, I would backup mbr in case things get worse, then use super-grub disk (both versions available) and reinstall grub [23:35] DasEi: where do i install grub to? [23:35] luckyone: you will need to do that manually, just removing ubuntu-desktop won't do it (although you might be able to remove it with tasksel, but I haven't tried it myself) [23:35] lakotajames: mbr by default [23:35] cheers [23:35] !mbr [23:35] grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10).

It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords [23:43] hardworkr: can you boot safe mode / root with no pw-question ? [23:43] so i cant lock my laptop or update software because i cnt remember the original password [23:44] hello world [23:44] !hi [23:44] 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! [23:44] can anyone tell me where I might have put a scheduled task on my 9.04 server? [23:44] i posted on the forums, but so far no response [23:44] there ya go i was looking for that [23:44] quit [23:44] DasEi: Alright thanks for all the help. [23:44] rahduke: in order for you to perform a fsck on a disk, it should be unmounted. meaning if it's your current root partition... you should do this from the recovery mode... or from a live cd environment. [23:45] hi, i recently updated and found stuff like my /etc/resolv.conf cleared [23:45] i scheduled my server to reboot daily, but not in crontab or cron daily, mnothy, hourly, etc [23:45] why does it do this [23:45] its just a storage drive.. [23:45] cool [23:45] i can run it from terminal no prob i think [23:45] anyone know other places i could have scheduled that reboot task? [23:46] still no slim package [23:46] * ice_cream sighs [23:46] rahduke: then unmount it... and if the partition is /dev/sdb1, run "sudo fsck.ext3 /dev/sdb1" [23:46] agreenbhm: they are mostly in /etc/cronBlah, the crontabs [23:46] yup, thanks [23:46] finally [23:46] got this damm thing on [23:46] dasei: unfortunately, it's not there [23:46] i vaguely remember having issues putting it there originally, so i put it somewhere else [23:46] so can anyone help me out [23:46] and my stupid ass didn't document it [23:47] hmm i need a hand with restoring grub2 [23:47] i really screwed my notebook up [23:47] agreenbhm: are you positive it's not cron? You stopped cron at the time it usually reboots and it still rebooted? [23:47] gmendoza: how long do u think this will take on a 400gig drive? [23:47] how do i fix error 17 on grub [23:47] iv mounted my ubuntu partition, then it refers to mounting a seperate /boot partition, is that incase iv spread my ubuntu /boot on another partition? [23:47] fx420: What did you do? [23:48] how do i fix error 17 on grub [23:48] jrib: i looked for the string that I typed, but couldn't find it anywhere [23:48] rahduke: not long... [23:48] agreenbhm: so the answer to my question is "no"? [23:48] i guess so [23:48] gmendoza: sweet i thought it would take forever [23:48] rahduke: few mins tops... [23:48] agreenbhm: what do you mean by "the string that I typed"? [23:48] rahduke: yeah no sweat, really. [23:48] so any quick fixs [23:49] Does anyone know about GNUnet P2P file sharing program?

It ties into the SMART capabilities of the drive, and the warnings are there for a reason. Just keep an eye out so you dont end up losing your data. [23:49] well it work if i take it out and hook it up to my desktop [23:49] agreenbhm: and it reboots at midnight? [23:49] yes [23:49] agreenbhm: doesnt your syslog contain info about what caused reboot ? [23:50] rahduke: Correct. Usually... and you'll definitely start noticing system slow downs because of disk read errors. [23:50] where is the syslog? you'll have to forgive my n00b skillz [23:50] agreenbhm: I'd turn of the cron daemon at 11:50 and verify it still reboots [23:50] off even [23:50] is there a safe way to reset my password somehow i forgot it [23:50] agreenbhm: /var/log/syslog [23:50] gmendoza: yea it's been randomly not showing the files on it and sometimes not even mounting during boot [23:50] hardworkr: read the link ubottu gave you before.
