[00:16] etfb, the foreground/background thing is largely controlled by gnome and what it thinks is most appropriate.

[00:17] asdff, the usual culprit is some kind of extension. Try running ff without extensions. I think there's a way to do that... [00:17] I'm sporting 64 bit ubuntu 9.10 and have run across an interesting issue. At random times flash will quit working and all flash apps are such are solid white. Rebooting fixes this, but its not a desirable solution. Any ideas? [00:17] etfb, yeah, these are some of the subtle things that start flame wars. Gnome's philosophy is all about work flow and ergonomics. KDE is more "Do what i tell you to do" [00:17] Running firefox* [00:17] ardchoille: Hm damn. I'm not sure. If you find the directories that it installed the fonts to that is a step forward in the right direction.

[00:18] DrunkenIrony, i have the problem too, restarting firefox fixes it for me [00:18] cxo, Well it was... nowadays it's all about "do what the KDE developers get around to implementing and hope it doesn't crash".

[00:19] :( [00:19] DrunkenIrony, its a bug in the flash wrapper. when it crashes it doesnt reload the plugin. check on launchpad or google for a fix.

[00:20] DrunkenIrony, if you just want to watch flash video and things. Gnash is the GNU implementation of flash. You might try google for that and try it out [00:20] daftykins, I'm not a big fan of untested technology. How did you get Flash to work in 64 bit Ubuntu without crashing, then?

Never had an issue under gnome or k3b [00:23] asdff, why do the spikes bother you?

[00:24] oie [00:24] also I may switch to chrome FF is laggy as hell [00:24] cxo. well, like i said. brasero only detects the disc as SL (description is correct as DL but says it has only 4.7gb) [00:24] ?????????????/ [00:25] How can I boot to init 3 or single user from grub? [00:25] !runlevel | andrew9 [00:25] andrew9: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal.

[00:26] Bots.. [00:27] etfb: yeah I agree, it is a trade off and a half :P. my PC IS older though so Chrome will probably be the way to go.

(delete quiet also if yu want and append nosplash also) [00:32] etfb: you dont need to reboot either, or do anything for that matter. so you can try it and if it screws your logs up or something you can just remove the lines.

[00:38] i wrote a script to start airmon-ng put card in monitor mode change mac address and than launch airodump and it runs but i want to make a launcher i can click and it opens a terminal and runs it [00:38] etfb, then you click the ADD button and add that feature [00:39] r6, first off a connection test... it shouldn't let you connect....

Have xp on that computer and trying to add Sabayon if that works that will be great ;) thanks.... [00:40] loops, Neither of those is "Key". [00:40] etfb, Name is anything you want to call it... Command is the command that will run. After you add it then you can assign a key sequence to it [00:40] loops, ah, thought of that just as you said it. ugly, ugly design, didn't realise that. OK, will try. Thanks! [00:41] hiexpo, i'm not sure if you can leave a terminal open after running a script.. it is probably possible but with work.. my suggestion would be to see if you can get a input request and it might run the script in a terminal, and wait for your response [00:41] That's a great tool, I use it to repair clients' disks [00:41] Why NVIDIA drivers have never ever worked with geforce 2 go on any given linux distro?

[00:48] rahduke: important data ? [00:48] so i dont have to chmod every time [00:48] Out_Cold, well all depends on level of paranoia i guess, besides passphrases make it easier to work if you are hoping a lot [00:48] andrew9: if u have an htc phone u should hop on the xda forum [00:48] join #ubuntu-offtopic [00:48] lenswipe: man chmod, R option [00:49] hi there [00:49] DasEi: i know how to chmod thanks [00:49] Hi [00:49] how do i set the default value of home directories to 700? [00:49] lenswipe: You're looking for a create umask, I don't know where to set it though. [00:49] andrew9: there is a ton of android info out there on the web, depending on what your looking for there are many different sites.. if your looking for hacked roms u wanna check out xda and alldroid and androidspin [00:49] ok [00:49] r6, well all my true data is locked on a sub-server which is past my regular server and highly encrypted and almost always unmounted [00:50] rahduke: there is always a slim chance fsck messes things up, very important dat I would clone an image before that [00:50] lenswipe, /etc/profile [00:50] DasEi: ummm im already running fsck, couldnt u have told me that before [00:50] usser: thanks [00:50] lenswipe, you can set a umask there but it will be applied system-wide not just for home directories [00:51] ah. [00:51] someone told me to edit /etc/profiles [00:51] is that right? [00:51] I have a question, im using a wireless access point to make wireless avaliable to all the computers here, on debian (and another laptop) i got it working by using pppoeconf, but in ubuntu it can't use the network (it does detect it), what should i do? [00:51] rahduke: slim chance as said, its also in [00:51] !fsck [00:51] fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [00:52] Out_Cold: that's a fair level of protection, AFAICT. I do more or less the same, but use passphrases as i do a lot of jumps inside the servers and agent forwarding really helps for that [00:52] ah [00:52] Man.. I've tried so many distros: ubuntu, fedora, opensuse, slax, puppy, crunchbang.. and can't get my graphics card working with NVIDIA drivers.. that's mad [00:52] usser: nvm, it was you [00:52] lenswipe: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=649965 [00:52] lenswipe, heh [00:52] andrew9: the nvidia drivers on ubuntu work great, and they support VDPAU [00:52] r6, agent forwarding??? i'm still highly in the learning process.... can barely get my iptables right [00:52] lenswipe: The question itself isn't relevant, seems they did what you want, then wanted an exception. [00:53] does anyone here use a web-based document management system ? i need to be able to check in/check out docs, nothing fancy. [00:53] I bet geforce 2 go will never work again.. [00:54] DasEi: earlier when i ran fsck i got a short read error and it asked me if I wanted to overwrite.... what should I do when that happens again? [00:54] anyone know how to tell gstreamer to only write id3v2 tags to music files? [00:54] Wind0pain, subversion [00:54] andrew9: tried getting a card that is not 100 years old... sorry..... [00:54] Wind0pain, what's wrong with ftp? [00:54] in fstab, does that make sense for a new HD I add in my computer that will be used to store video and mp3? /dev/sdb1 /media/storage1 ext4 defaults,user,noatime,nodiratime 0 2 [00:55] Out_Cold- ftp isn't a "document management system" [00:55] andrew9 go, go 200 or go 100? [00:55] rahduke: as said, fsck corrects (and alters) filesystem errors. mostly that works (yes), but if you want to be very sure, need to make a backup when not running preen options [00:55] Wind0pain: There are many web-based document management system. Google Docs for starters. (Nice if you have your own domain for Google apps) [00:55] rahduke: a short read is a bad sign. Make a backup of anything essential that's on that disk. And consider buying a new disk [00:55] marc__: i think it should work [00:55] yes its a nightmare [00:56] Geforce 2 go the first NVIDIA integrated video chip [00:56] nah, size of the drive ? [00:56] hi [00:56] NotTooSmart, lol, not sure I should trust you with that nickname ;-) [00:56] andrew9: according to the nvidia site, the geforce 2 go is supported in the 96 legacy driver === powertoo108 is now known as powertool08 [00:56] rahduke: size of drive ? [00:56] marc__: i keep hearing that..... [00:56] Anyone know what program I need to combine .partXX.rar files? [00:56] DasEi: do u think the process of moving 400gigs of data from one drive to another 1.5tb will actually cause more issues than just using the drive till it breaks? [00:56] NotTooSmart, ... yeah, sorry, that wasn't really original :P [00:56] I have tried absolutely every supported driver [00:56] marc__: here is a trick though. try it and see if it works since it's not going to do any damage lol [00:57] Out_Cold: when you protect a key with a passphrase no one (for example if someone gets at your laptop and steals the key) can use it unless he/she knows the pp. BUT you would end up as with passwords, having to enter the pp whenever you use the key. The ssh agent is a daemon that keeps your key and passphrase in RAM, and handles auth automatically. Agent forwarding allows to "chain" the same process as you jump from host to host, assuming the [00:57] kcj1993: you should be able to untar the .rar and it will automatically untar them all creating the final .avi or what ever it holds [00:57] I got an iso-file, but mounting doesn't work, because I dont know the correct filesystem type. How do I find it out? (And if mount knows that its wrong, why can't it try every type by its own?) [00:58] kcj1993, you should be able to run .part.rar file and it combines by itself (use nautilus and right click) === HoldenC is now known as holdenc === holdenc is now known as HoldenC === xihh1 is now known as xihh [00:58] DasEi: the broken drive is 400 gigs, and almost filled to the brim... [00:58] rahduke: personally, I would copy the data a.s.a.p and use the suspect disk only as scratch space from now on... [00:58] im just htinking copying all that stuff off the drive will just exacerbate the problem [00:58] can anyone help me find and onstall the elements plug in? [00:58] iow, you have to enter the pp only one time, and in gnome zero times, as seahorse daemon unlocks keys when you open your session [00:58] rahduke: very important data should be backed up, mostly fsck causes no harm, if you want to know health of drive, there is smartmontools [00:59] kcj1993: unrar x file.part1.rar, the rest will fall into place. no need to waste time with a gui [00:59] I got it, thanks [00:59] :) [00:59] DasEi: smartmontools tells me i only have one bad sector and the drive is relatively healthy [00:59] I have a question, im using a wireless access point to make wireless avaliable to all the computers here, on debian (and another laptop) i got it working by using pppoeconf, but in ubuntu it can't use the network (it does detect it), what should i do? [00:59] NotTooSmart, I'm wondering... it says 'noatime' : Do not update inode access times on the filesystem. ... but I think I saw somewhere that a directory is really a file with a directory flag. so do I really need to add the nodiratime option? [00:59] I got an iso-file, but mounting doesn't work, because I dont know the correct filesystem type. How do I find it out? (And if mount knows that its wrong, why can't it try every type by its own?) [00:59] rahduke: Hard drives often act funny when you're filling them up right to the brim. [01:00] kinja-sheep: thats what i think maybe the issues [01:00] andrew9 96.43.14 no good? http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/96.43.05/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.05-pkg1.run [01:00] r6 i think i will add that after i finish current security demands. thanks for the info [01:00] marc__: well im using ext4 for what you said and I dont use noatime, so its really your option, either way works.... [01:00] kinja-sheep: before i just got a new 1.5tb drive a few weeks ago i would literally fill it till it wouldnt write anymore then delete a bunch of old crap [01:00] The absolute must-have tool for repair and recovery is Hiren's boot cd [01:01] is the a cmd which will return null if there i have no connection on an interface eth0 or wlan0 etc? [01:01] rahduke: It is. Best to shut down. Take out the hard drive. Wait until you get the new one so you can attempt to rescue all or what is left of it. [01:01] Greetings and salivations, I have a couple of minor questions: 1. When trying to start a particular program (If you need specifics I can supply it) it gives an error /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6: version 'glibc_2.8' Not found. Okay. I can overcome some issues, but how do I compile/install GLIBC_2.8? Where do I find the source code or the binary? [01:01] I have tried every supported driver [01:01] kinja-sheep: i already have the new drive.... what im thinking is copying 400gigs of data off of the suspect drive will put the final nail in its coffin.... [01:01] 2. [01:01] andrew9: = troll ? [01:02] rahduke: so answer yes to fsck and dont interrupt it [01:02] Nope [01:02] andrew9, i agree... but any casper system can be just as useful in the right hands [01:02] kinja-sheep: not to mention putting undue wear and tear on my new drive [01:02] rahduke: Maybe. You never know. Hard drives are the most slow and instable part out of all computer components. [01:02] rahduke: depends on which statistic you're looking at. Most modern drives have already tried and failed to reallocate the sector by the time they report a read failure. Most times one sector failure signals the beginning of the end for the drive. I agree with kinja-sheep: take it out and do a one time copy when you get a new drive. Then use the old one as temp space... [01:03] SSD here, feels good man [01:04] hello guys, i need help with texlive and tlmgr :) Can anyone help me? [01:05] blakkheim, did you see the youtube where they linked like 32 ssd's together and custom ram into a super computer? [01:05] thanks for the info [01:05] does SSD get wiped out by a magnet? [01:05] Connect to /lost+found? yes [01:05] Inode 6782977 ref count is 2, should be 1. Fix? yes [01:05] Unattached inode 6782978 [01:05] Connect to /lost+found? yes [01:05] Inode 6782978 ref count is 2, should be 1. Fix? [01:05] rahduke: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:05] should i just keep hitting yes? [01:05] NotTooSmart, you in? [01:05] Oh and by the way, I am running Hardy. If that makes a difference. [01:06] rahduke: theres some fsck option to answer yes to everything.. (use with caution) [01:07] Hi, I'm not clear on how to upgrade my firefox to 3.5.7. Could someone tell me how? [01:07] rahduke: yes. You've really got no choice about this. If you run without correcting the errors you risk a corrupted filesystem and consequent data loss anyway, so you can't win... [01:07] Dr_Willis: i think its to late [01:07] Out_Cold: i want something with a checkin/checkout feature... ftp offers that? [01:07] im just gunna hold down Y is that smart? [01:07] uh oh [01:07] flootenkerp: You could get teh latest tar.gz from the firefox omepage and just 'exctract/use' it for a specific user.. or track down some updated firefox repos (the ppa repos proberly have it) [01:07] Unattached inode 6938640 [01:07] Connect to /lost+found? yes [01:07] No room in lost+found directory. Expand? yes [01:08] did i just really screw up? [01:08] flootenkerp: personally i wouldent worry about upgrading firefox unless you hae a very good reason to need the newest [01:08] rahduke: proberly not. hard to tell [01:08] Wind0pain, someone suggested subversion.. i know that has checkins [01:08] I heard it was faster [01:08] rahduke: if it's just a few questions, be patient and type yes when it prompts. If it gets into the hundreds, you can quit the fsck and re-run it with -y, but quitting an fsck half way through is a risky thing to do in the first place. It told you, you can't win at this... [01:08] Why? Is there something wrong with the beta? [01:08] flootenkerp: if you want faster - check out google chrome. [01:09] Out_Cold: yep, reading about it... looks like maybe a good way to go for me [01:09] I did [01:09] Videos run like crap for me [01:09] Firefox runs them amazing for me [01:09] im going to have to pastebin this next one [01:09] flootenkerp: you can install the tar.gz package for a single user. and thus not damage your system. [01:09] How do I install it? [01:09] what do you guys make of this [01:09] http://pastebin.com/m31b95fdf [01:09] flootenkerp: you downbload and extract the tar.gz then run the binary [01:09] flootenkerp: in karmic firefox is 3.5.7 already [01:09] !pm | rahduke [01:09] I'm using hjaunty [01:09] rahduke: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice.

[01:10] i was following the rules [01:10] flootenkerp: ah, possibly a ppa from mozilla? [01:10] Is it possible to add encryption to a hardrive that is already 90% full? [01:10] rahduke: I've never seen that particular message from fsck before :-). But the answer's the same. Type 'y' and pray.... [01:10] 3.6 officail release slated for tomorrow [01:10] rahduke: as said before, you make that decision once, and then have to pull it through, worst is a interrupted fsck in that mode [01:10] this is really iffy [01:11] Um, may I ask again- How to install/compile glibc_2.8 to Hardy? DMESG does not show it or Libc.so.6 :/ (If already answered, sorry, I missed it.) [01:11] flootenkerp: that one way to do it. download, extract, run the binary you exctracted [01:11] Dash_, i'm trying to find a link but my net is to slow right now. [01:11] hello guys, i need help with texlive and tlmgr :) Can anyone help me? [01:11] After I did that, it didn't have the plugins. [01:11] ok it finished [01:11] Dash_, search ubuntu ppa glibc2.8 with google [01:11] and it says this: Data: ***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED ***** [01:11] Data: 13399/24420352 files (19.1% non-contiguous), 89121895/97677200 blocks [01:11] http://lifehacker.com/5452789/firefox-36-official-release-slated-for-tomorrow [01:11] rahduke: well, you've had a hardware failure. It's not supposed to be pretty. Got backups? [01:11] rahduke: on very important data you would have imaged it before that mode, y, finished succesfully [01:12] well the drive mounted [01:12] I imagine there will be unofficial 3.6 repos/ppa's very soon [01:12] w ??? [01:12] rahduke: Just reboot after it's done and hopefully it wont happen again [01:12] rahduke: drive was MOUNTED ?? [01:12] Dr_Willis, when I extract it, and run firefox, it opens up and is upgraded, but the plugins aren't there [01:12] im going to start copying the most important stuff [01:13] DasEi: it wasnt during fsck [01:13] DasEi: I think he said it was able to mount (after?) [01:13] And it doesn't update my current firefox. [01:13] yes [01:13] flootenkerp: upgraded? it should just run the version you ran.. not upgrade the system. Unless youi used the term upgrade wrongly. [01:13] flootenkerp: no idea on pluins. I dont use FF that way. [01:13] rahduke: aaah, have fun , and at 19% consider re-format ext4 [01:13] I mean things like flash player [01:13] Those plugins [01:13] They aren't there. Is there a specific folder I need to extract it too? [01:14] DasEi: what does that 19% mean anyhow? [01:14] rahduke: defrag [01:14] DasEi: how do i defrag in linux? === Helllifter is now known as Purgatory [01:15] rahduke: the fs does itself, for a long time /w o lots of files [01:15] flootenkerp: yep - flash not workign here in it. of course i have issues with flash at times in the normal firefox also. [01:15] ok [01:16] flootenkerp: there is a plugins directroy in the extracted firefox dir i see. [01:16] I got an iso-file, but mounting doesn't work, because I dont know the correct filesystem type. How do I find it out? (And if mount knows that its wrong, why can't it try every type by its own?)

[01:17] How do I go about updating firefox to its latest version while keeping my plugins? [01:18] is there a way to have a app be "always on visible workspace" when launched? [01:18] DasEi, thx! [01:18] flootenkerp: you just do it, ff checks itself [01:18] flootenkerp: the plugins need to be made for that version. a newer version of firefox will mean a newer version for the plugins [01:18] Hi all , my system fails to start , and i can not enable boot from cd\dvd at the boot menu. system beeps when i enter the key to enable it. [01:18] I'm using 64 bit ubuntu if that makes a difference [01:18] no [01:18] flootenkerp: not at all. [01:19] It doesn't install the plugin, it always fails [01:19] Matisse: try -t iso9660 [01:19] apparently, there are two seperate guides to install for 32 bit and 64 bit. [01:19] flootenkerp: there are plugins not available for certain types [01:19] I woulsd wait for an deb/ppa to get made for the next firefox version if you want it that badly [01:19] Losha, doesnt work [01:20] http://www.webupd8.org/2009/10/install-firefox-36-beta1pre-in-ubuntu.html [01:20] Matisse: it was worth trying, it's the commonest format. Sorry.... [01:21] wait a sec... i think there's something different wrong... [01:23] Hi all , my system fails to start , and i can not even go to terminal or something. i just see black screen. i insert the livecd but i can not boot from it. can u help? [01:23] hi anyone know how to install usb web cam i,am noob in kubuntu [01:24] winyath: plug it in.. if its supported it should work.

[01:28] hi. using exaile, what is the best way for me to play music shared on another machine? [01:29] Is it normal for 64-bit Flash to have issues with clicking buttons on YouTube videos, such as the [HQ] button? I did the "export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1" trick, but it didn't make a difference. [01:29] Anyone find Calculus 4 (surface integrals, etc.) is a integral subject for a computer scientist / computer engineer? [01:29] woeisme: Does it make a difference if you disable desktop effects? [01:30] woeisme: that can be a compiz issue. many people have that issue at times [01:30] http://www.webupd8.org/2009/11/fix-mouse-clicks-not-working-in-flash.html [01:31] Desktop effects are disabled. The "export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1" trick worked on 32-bit. [01:31] some users reported that the bug with mouse clicks not working in Flash & Ubuntu was fixed by either disabling Compiz or just by disabling the show desktop plugin in Compiz. [01:31] Dr_Willis: FWIW, it's not a compiz issue, it's a flash issue. If it were a compiz issue, it would have already been fixed === sales2 is now known as MaZ === MaZ is now known as Mazodude [01:32] And woeisme just confirmed that since compiz isn't even enabled [01:32] every time I start up my computer, I have to do "emerald --replace" to change my theme. Is there some way I can make it do that automatically? [01:32] I love Adobe. It takes them longer to develop a web browser PLUGIN than it does to make a GAME. [01:33] woeisme: FWIW, I have flash 10.0.42.34 installed here on gentoo and I have the same problem. It didn't happen in previous versions (no 64bit here though) [01:33] guys , im trying to start up my computer but i cant boot to livecd and when i boot from HD i get black screen. please give me a direction to get a terminal or something [01:33] F2231: You can add that in the Compiz settings in the section on "Window Decorations". [01:33] ty [01:33] F223: In the Command field [01:33] ugh [01:34] sorry, was logged in twice [01:34] soreau: Well, on 32-bit, the trick worked. But when I tried it on 64-bit, no luck. =) [01:34] woeisme: If I really want to watch a video, let it download then play it with your favorite player from /tmp/Flash* [01:34] F2231: Emerald is basically a dead project. It may be time to say bye to emerald. [01:34] yeah, but the theme I use right now is based off emerald =/ [01:34] !netsplit [01:34] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [01:34] F2231: Put emerald --replace in the Command field of the plugin woeisme told you [01:35] soreau: The GreaseMonkey addon for Firefox works nicely, combined with the gecko-mediaplayer plugin. You can watch embedded YouTube videos directly on their web site with GNOME MPlayer. [01:35] !emerald [01:35] emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. [01:35] theres gores everyone lol [01:35] woeisme: Hmm.. that's good to know I guess, haven't tried any of that [01:35] soreau: I use "YouTube without Flash auto" script on GreaseMonkey. Faster video, less CPU usage, but cannot seek until the video finishes loading. [01:36] woeisme: Ah [01:36] woeisme: Well flash isn't super important to me so I never really mess with it. I just let it d/l to /tmp and play it with mplayer from there [01:37] soreau: Won't go off topic after this, but it's hard to ignore the fact that all these issues about bugginess and performance with Flash is due to Adobe's awesome closed-source, stubborn mindset. [01:37] whu [01:37] * Dr_Willis waits for flash to go the way of 'realplayer' === Nightw0lf is now known as Nightwolf [01:37] to download vids from almost anywhere download helper in firefox works great [01:38] Hello, I recently installed the new 9.10. I wanted the ubuntu studio look, but I now need the icon set. Where can I acquire them? [01:38] woeisme: Well at least you know the truth about flash. Most people automatically blame compiz like so many other issues that compiz happens to expose [01:39] hi, i just installed ubuntu 9.10 on my laptop, but i use verizon access manager with wireless card. problem is that the cd is only for windows / mac. i tried it in wine and it works except to where it needs to detect the wireless device. [01:39] plz help? [01:39] Schui: Did you google the device model number with keyword ubuntu or look on the manufacturers site if the device has one? You might need to configure a driver for it [01:40] nope, will try that now thx [01:40] Schui: You should definitely not try to use it through wine though, that installer is for windows only. Linux typically has driver included in the kernel already if the device is support4ed [01:40] jamie i seen that set i think at gnome.look .org [01:41] Thanks, hiexpo. I'll definitely check there. [01:41] google it also [01:41] jamie, in preferences>appearances you can "find more online" [01:42] how do I add a new installed kernel module? [01:42] jamie, gnomelook is the same as the link in appearances [01:42] yah thats it [01:43] Alright, also, I used to know how to change the Icon closest to applications , the "start" button if you will. It's something through nautilus [01:43] what do you mean change it ? [01:44] move it [01:44] Change the icon. [01:44] make it look dif [01:44] Yes sir. [01:44] I want to configure X in 9.10. But sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg does nothing. What should I do? (It is a problem with the 'autodetection'; I could make a xorg.conf and then do a sudo restart gdm, but I want that wizard) [01:44] i think he means icons beside text or no icons and just text ! [01:44] Icons beside the applications menu. [01:44] tyranos, he means the 'start' icon [01:44] soreau: so i use the vzaccess manager to use the modem, not sure if there would be another way? [01:45] Yes. [01:45] well you can change the whole look of them all by going in to apperances and change the set is easiest to do [01:45] I am aware of that, but I want a custom theme. [01:46] is there a way to have a app be "always on visible workspace" when launched? [01:46] do you have the icon you want to use already ? [01:46] nou, As I will have to size it correctly. [01:46] No* [01:46] or you can right click on it and change it like that [01:47] with some already in the menus [01:47] right click prefferances === ^Einstein is now known as bburhans [01:47] properties i mean sorry [01:48] Hmm, I looked through the menu, and scanned everything, but I do not see a button to change the default Icon of my current theme. [01:49] llua, i know of one it is to install devilspie and then gdevilspie for the interface and and then setting a new rule then application name as a filter [01:49] llua: if you use compiz you can, and there's devilspie, i think it can do that too [01:49] jamie ok i think i see what your doing follow me [01:49] Who runs gnome-do on their netbook? [01:50] r6, where in compiz? [01:50] window rules [01:50] cool [01:51] r6. ty [01:51] so i want to ask everyone: is linux supported by verizon? [01:51] Sorry, I'm here hiexpo. [01:51] right click on desktop click change background click theme click customize than icons and you can choose the set you want with out changing your theme [01:52] llua: np [01:52] Thanks hiexpo. Let me find a set. [01:52] ok np [01:54] anyone know how to disable the startup splash page? [01:55] jlca: what version of ubuntu? [01:55] lenny desktop [01:55] so i can use the verizon access manager cd with wine, and it works up until it tries to detect the modem, when it just hangs. any suggestions? [01:56] in ubuntu you have to pass 'nosplash' to the kernel from grub, dunno in debian tho [01:58] thank r6 but i can not find menu.list in grub... [01:58] I used pppoeconf in venenux and it worked for configuring a DSL conection using a wireless access point and it worked, it doesn't work on gNS, i tried to install the pppoeconf version from venenux but it doesn't work either. Any idea? [01:58] try /etc/default/grub [01:59] i'm configuring it on an ubuntu computer wich doesn't seem to be able to use it [01:59] what kernel is karmic using? [01:59] thank r6 i'll check it out [01:59] histo, uname -a [02:00] Matisse: i'm not running it right now or I would check === xod is now known as onats [02:00] histo: 2.6.31-17 fully updated [02:00] People, download helper is failing at making conversions of youtube flvs to mp3s, but it did before, something is wrong... download helper is a firefox app than use ffmpeg to convert videos [02:00] hrm... I'm having a hell of a time getting my buddies qualcomm mobile broadband card working [02:01] seems everytime there is a kernel update it adds it into grub list, so i have like 15 different boot options now. is there a way to stop that? [02:01] supposedly the 2.6.30 kernel and newer has suport for it built in but its not firing up [02:01] syk: uninstall the old kernels via synaptic [02:01] dygyfdgbsdikgyfefdffgdcgbcgdvdgdgcwdfedf [02:02] bastid_raZor, is there a specific search term to search for [02:02] syk; i know a few, you can hide them from the menu using startup-manager, or delete'em, i have a script somewhere for that that i run from cron [02:02] syk: kernel image i believe [02:02] Hello? The radeon igp 340M just don't work with the default configuration/autodetection of ubuntu 9.10, forcing a downgrade to ubuntu 9.04. why sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg simply does nothing in karmic, and what is the workaround? [02:03] dark: did you check to see if any proprietary drivers were available? === ari_stress is now known as setitik_debu [02:03] TrekCaptainUSA, well, actually the problem is with a friend of mine. but X actually didn't started [02:04] TrekCaptainUSA, he just installed 9.04 again. I think it should start with vesa or vga driver, at least... [02:04] syk: http://pastebin.com/d70d2e749 [02:04] dark: is X still not running properly, or does it run on 9.04? [02:04] I think it is a failure with autodetection (maybe selecting a driver that will not work?) [02:04] TrekCaptainUSA, it runs on 9.04. graphical interface doesn't run on 9.10 [02:04] dark: most likely if X isn't running its because something got botched in the config [02:05] how do I derive the file type from the head of a file? [02:05] dark: on 9.04 are there proprietary drivers selected by default for the card? [02:05] TrekCaptainUSA, how can someone select the driver in 9.10? one must manually edit xorg.conf? [02:05] r6, thanks [02:05] "BCsorc.txt0000644000" doesnt look like the normal beginning of an iso file, am I right? [02:06] syk: np [02:06] ? when i installed a program via deb it shows up in my obsolete in synaptic [02:06] dark: I'm not too familiar with 9.10's interface, as I use 9.04 Desktop edition on multiple systems. [02:07] whats the best Google docs integration for ubuntu? [02:07] TrekCaptainUSA, I don't know. I can't ask him because he already downgraded to 9.04. But for my nvidia, it selects an open source driver and then ask for installing the proprietary driver, in 9.10. I think with ati it should do the same too [02:07] i think ati has issues in 9.10 [02:07] dark: you might consider posting to the ubuntuforums.org support forums regarding this, because it could actually be a bug, but one thought (cont'd next post) [02:08] dark: if the issue is with ATI cards not working in 9.10, its a bug and should be reported, but if the issue is with X and not the ATI drivers, then the install may have been botched [02:09] * TrekCaptainUSA shall return momentarily [02:10] TrekCaptainUSA, I am asking him some more info. maybe he should post this on the forum for his language. (He was asking in #ubuntu-br, but nobody could help, so I came here -- maybe this was a known issue..) [02:10] dark: one moment please, I'm scanning the ubuntuforums.org site to see if this issue was addressed by others [02:11] I actually am surprised that I can't find the wizard for configuring xorg.conf -- I am wondering if I *really* have to make up my own xorg.conf if I want to configure it... o.o [02:12] * TrekCaptainUSA is switching from web interface to xchat, shall return in less than 5 minutes [02:12] one more info: he made an fresh installation with the 9.10 livecd. in the livecd, the X worked. in the installation in the hd, it didn't [02:12] dark: in command line you can use Xorg -configure .. [02:12] r6, hmmmm thank you :) [02:12] * TrekCaptainUSA has returned. [02:12] np! [02:13] TrekCaptainUSA, one more info: he made an fresh installation with the 9.10 livecd. in the livecd, the X worked. in the installation in the hd, it didn't [02:13] dark: one minute, please, as I'm looking through posts right now [02:13] okay === infogulch1 is now known as infogulch [02:13] so is there a way to get verizon access manager to work on ubuntu or to bypass it altogether? [02:13] How do I totally get rid of the Icon next to applications, or change it? [02:14] Is it possible to see total network transfer numbers in any other way than with ifconfig? It seems the TX/RX numbers reset whenever the DHCP resests the ip, so those numbers are always very small. [02:14] why doesn't the server edition come with a gui? -- how will I even get the comms working? [02:14] wireless [02:14] I want to view the init startup so that I can see the services starting or not. removing "quite splash" didn't do it. any ideas? [02:14] dark: I haven't found anything relating to this on the forums, so this is quite possibly a bug in 9.10 [02:14] dark: have your friend consider making a bug report on this [02:15] nomic: the reason Server Edition doesn't come with a GUI is to lower the stress on the server system. I use Desktop Edition with various server softwares installed and my system has a higher load on it than normal [02:15] nomic: that's my thoughs behind the reason at least [02:15] ok ty [02:15] nomic: no problem [02:16] dark: has your friend tried another livecd install to see if that rectifies the issue? [02:16] dark: as in, has your friend tried installing from another livecd? [02:16] problems solved [02:16] bye [02:16] anyone produce music? [02:16] any one know why when i go to boot up ubuntu server 9.10 i get to grub fine but when i select which operating system to install, my system just reboots [02:16] ? [02:17] * dark is gathering more information. i think i misunderstood some of the issues.. [02:17] Is there a way to list the files a program opens when you run it? [02:17] kevin1093: there could be multiple reasons, some related to OS config. [02:18] huh. not really a question, but I just noticed that the ubuntu install disc doesn't recognise fedora 12 as an OS. [02:18] Samp: interesting. Perhaps GRUB is evil and doesn't like Fedora 12 [02:18] bobwhoops: have a look at the 'lsof' command [02:18] lol [02:19] I guess I might have to edit grub.lst when the install is done. [02:19] Samp: maybe [02:19] People, download helper is failing at making conversions of youtube flvs to mp3s, but it did before, something is wrong... download helper is a firefox app than use ffmpeg to convert videos [02:19] How do I unpack a rar ? [02:19] luis_: this is an issue with the Firefox plugin [02:19] Should I grab 7zip? [02:19] onetinsoldier: doesn't that only list the files the process has open at that particular time? [02:20] r6 I tried your suggestion but the boot screen was blank. I was not able to view services starting or not. anything else that you can think of? Thanks for your efforts. [02:20] tar -xzf file.rar [02:20] sorry, i got everything wrong.. the actual problem is: in the livecd, compiz works fine, and everything is fast. in the installation, the systems seemed to be using another driver: 3d as slow, compiz didn't worked, etc [02:20] TrekCaptainUSA: what u mean? [02:20] i think. [02:20] Thanks samp. [02:20] I'll try it. [02:20] oh, you might have to get a new package or two to get .rar functionality. [02:20] luis_: If Download Helper on Firefox isn't working, the issue is with the programming of the add-on itself, and you should contact the developer for more help [02:20] open up synaptic and search for rar [02:21] Samp is correct, you'll need a few packages for RARs to work jamie [02:21] bobwhoops: yes. not sure how you see a list that it open right when it's started [02:21] TrekCaptainUSA: it did a conversion 3 days ago, are u sure ffmpeg is not the source of the problem? [02:21] .rar is a proprietary format, I think. [02:21] luis_: It could be with FFMPEG, yes. [02:21] jlca: are you passing "nosplash" alone (w/o "quiet")? [02:21] ... [02:21] luis_: as to fixing FFMPEG, thats out of my league. [02:22] sorry... [02:22] r6: yes without quie [02:22] How would I go about acquiring these packages? Mr. TrekCaptainUsa. When I tried what samp said, it says blabla.rar cannot open no such file or directory. [02:22] jamie, if you can wait a moment, I can find the package names you'll need [02:22] Of course, sir. Thank you. [02:22] * TrekCaptainUSA is searching his Synaptic Package Manager list [02:23] jamie, sudo apt-get install rar unrar === emo is now known as Guest73984 [02:23] jamie: the package you'll need is unrar [02:23] jamie: if you want to create RARs as well, the package you'll need is rar [02:23] bobwhoops: the only thing that comes to mind is to have a script that starts the app, then immediately runs lsof and outputs the results to stdout, or a file(or both) [02:24] if you see a blank screen then the problem is the console, but i'm afraid that's a problem i haven't managed to solve myself, i been wanting to get back my vt's since a long time but seems very difficult (at least with my card) [02:24] Woot, I did it. Lets see if I can do it now. Thanks [02:24] jamie: you're welcome [02:24] dark: you still searching for more information? [02:25] huh, apparently redora creaded its main partition with an.... lvm2 filesystem? [02:25] Fedora, rather. [02:25] TrekCaptainUSA, no, I think that with Xorg -configure he will manage to make it work. (He was testing a bunch of distros, all of them worked fine; he liked ubuntu but is stuck with 9.04, but I think he will manage to fix this) [02:25] Samp: interesting indeed. perhaps thats why GRUB doesn't sense it [02:26] could be. [02:26] Is there a way, using gnome's .config/autostart/*, to start an app only if it's running on the system's physical console (ie, not a vnc session)? [02:26] Samp, if this is what I think it is , lvm is a virtual file system that allows you to bridge a partition over more then one physical media , ie on partiton over two hdd, kind of like raid but more flexible [02:26] TrekCaptainUSA, but I still believe this is a kind of bug === TrekCaptainUSA is now known as Trek [02:26] dark: it's quite possible this is a bug in 9.10 [02:26] yeah, but it doesn't make sense that fedora set up the main partition on the only hdd in my laptop with that FS [02:26] the swap partition is... ext2 I think [02:26] dark: there's numerous ugs in 9.10, so i would expect issues with proprietary graphics cards and their drivers [02:26] r6: in grub there is a line #GRUB_TERMINAL=console The description states to uncomment to disable graphical terninal (grub-pc only) So maybe this is it. I'll try and get back to you if you are interested. [02:27] dark: i meant bugs [02:27] lvm will work with the 'legacy' grub, but /boot must be outside lvm [02:27] no, it's ext4 [02:27] Polydwarf, from what I understand, vnc only displays what is going on on the remote computer, a vnc session is not a seperate session [02:27] Trek, yes, i have stumbled plenty of them :( [02:27] hi there! I have a Perfect Choice's webcam into my Ubuntu 9.10. With Cheese works fine, but when I'm trying to configure it into amsn looks like a double vision [02:27] Trek, I hope they don't put any new feature in karmic+1, and just fix what they already have... [02:28] for seperate session openssh server [02:28] In firefox when i right click a downloaded file and click open in containing folder it opens the "launch application" window and not the location where the file is. [02:28] how can i fix this? [02:28] jlca, thank you that would be good [02:28] ubuntu is too great to be in this perpetual state of regressions [02:28] Pelo, if you run vncserver on the ubuntu box, it creates (basically) another x session running on the machine. But, I don't want one of the autostarts (mythfrontend) to run when a new vncserver session starts up. [02:28] microhaxo, donT' right click the download link, just click it [02:28] install xming and on remote client configure putty for xforwarding you can run applications through ssh sessions [02:28] But i want to open the downloads folder [02:28] Please: How do I set my mount up in /etc so my old /dev/sda3 filesystem will mount as /home? [02:28] anyone know how to modify the scrollwheel mouse sensitivity? [02:28] dark: thats the exact reason I haven't upgraded to 9.10 [02:28] that way i can extract it there [02:28] * Trek shall return in a little while [02:28] Pelo, uou may be thinking of x11vnc [02:29] Nobody knew how to check network traffic stats in any other way than with ifconfig? [02:29] Polydwarf, possibly [02:29] I neglected to do this on the install, and now fstab is an obscure POS, and I see no place else to do it. [02:29] r6: ok i need maybe 10-15 mins if i'm lucky. if you don't here from me well ... i'm off now [02:29] dark: so I cannot configure grub to dual boot ubuntu and fedora unless fedora installs on a non lvm filesystem? [02:29] N-S, iptables -nvL [02:29] microhaxo, when you just click on the link ( left click) it doesn'T open the save to dialog ? [02:29] !mount [02:29] mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [02:29] good luck [02:29] Samp, well, you must have all kernels outside the lvm (that is: the /boot should contain all kernels, and it should be outside lvm) [02:30] N-S: what are you wanting? just to monitor network traffic? in what way? [02:30] Samp, but grub2 can boot kernels inside lvm too [02:30] hey [02:30] I need to mount it permanently in /etc, like you used to do by editing /etc/fstab [02:30] it's still beta i guess [02:30] Samp: you could have a seperate non lvm /boot partition for fedora [02:30] N-S you just want to see some stats? [02:30] anybody know how to add specific program icons to your desktop in XUbuntu? [02:30] Pelo: Im talking about after it's saved. In the downloads window i right click and click "Open Containing Folder" It works in windows and on the schools ubuntu comps but not mine. When i click open containing folder it opens the launch application. [02:30] I don't see anything in my dropdown to do this. [02:31] I would rather do it in the shell or with some canonical editing tool [02:31] microhaxo, check in FF in the preferences, under the general tab, about the middle of the tab [02:31] Pelo what am i looking for? [02:31] Viddy_ Brilliant! Thank you. I'll make that into a little bash for easy access. [02:31] xeno__: open /etc/fstab as root and add an entry [02:32] hm, I think I'll go with grub2 [02:32] is that the default on ubuntu 9.10? [02:32] or would I have to go find it [02:32] microhaxo, I had the wrong problem it thought it was the downloading part that was giving you problems, you might want to change that particular file association in the application tab , that might work [02:32] Samp: you might be better off with Grub2 instead of Legacy Grub === skai-falkorr is now known as skai|breakfast [02:32] anybody know how to add specific program icons to your desktop in xubuntu? [02:32] r6: ok, I'll try that. It looks like it just has comments though. [02:32] but microhaxo you might have better luck asking that question in #firefox [02:32] or your quicklaunch? [02:33] Samp, I think sudo apt-get install grub2 will do it [02:33] What is the file manager called for gnome? [02:33] nautilus? [02:33] yes [02:33] Samp, also, you don't have to have grub2 installed in all os; in fact, you should pick an os for managing grub [02:33] microhaxo: yes [02:33] ah ok. [02:33] hi there! I have a Perfect Choice's webcam into my Ubuntu 9.10. With Cheese works fine, but when I'm trying to configure it into amsn looks like a double vision [02:33] onetinsoldier It would be neat to see current traffic too, realtime. Preferrably in a CLI app, since I rarely ever use the desktop. [02:33] Probably ubuntu, since I'm more comfy with that. [02:33] Gran_Ger: what cam? [02:33] Samp: pretty sure grub2 is the default in 9.10, but it's a beta vesion, 1.97~beta3 or something like that [02:34] UBUNTU FTW! [02:34] Samp, but read the wiki for something about it! it's not 'production ready' and may contain bugs. i also never used it [02:34] hmmm [02:34] ah, ok. [02:34] N-S: install 'iptraf'.. you love it [02:34] ok onetinsoldier :) [02:34] can i rip blue-ray disc with linux . lsdvd shows me nothing [02:34] !brasero [02:34] N-S: it's a very nice ncurses(cli) network traffic monitor [02:34] Where is nautilus actually located [02:35] i have to browse for the "application" to open my file location with [02:35] MacGyver_, I don'T think linux supports bluerays yet, in fact i'M almost certain of it [02:35] heh onetinsoldier is right, iptraf kicks [02:35] r6: :) [02:35] Does anybody know why my encrypted disk won't unmount properly, or how to unmount it properly? I've had issues with it since 9.10. [02:35] microhaxo, nautilus is what you get when you click any ofthe links in "places" [02:36] Do you understand what my problem is at all Pelo? [02:36] skai|breakfast pc-320425 [02:36] When i try to get firefox to open my folder NOT a file, it acts as if its an unknown file that i want to open, when i specifically asked it to OPEN CONTAINING FOLDER. [02:36] microhaxo, /usr/bin [02:36] My problem is that the disk never goes away from the places menu. [02:36] microhaxo, barely , you want taht the firefox download windows opens the containing folder of whatever you downloaded and not start what ever you downloaded [02:36] Does anybody have any thoughts? [02:37] microhaxo, this dialog is broken, it should point you to the actual location of programs by default [02:37] it never points me to the actual location [02:37] it begins in the home dir and this is annoying. (also true the dialog for setting icons in taskbar, etc) === radio is now known as cwillu_recording [02:37] it wont even open a tar in firefox [02:37] it asks me to select the application to open it [02:38] you can open tar with /usr/bin/file-roller [02:38] hmmmm [02:38] whoah, both gparted and cfdisk (when run on the ubuntu live cd) report both the fedora partition and the swap partition as "free space" [02:38] select it once and then ask him to memorize it [02:38] microhaxo, sounds like a firefox issue [02:38] Anybody? I really need help figuring this out. [02:38] * Trek has returned [02:38] dark: I'm not seeing nautilus in /usr/bin [02:38] microhaxo: alt+f2 [02:39] microhaxo: then type nautilus [02:39] mlissner, what is your encryption scheme? [02:39] microhaxo eh, of course, Firefox doesn't know how to open anything unless you tell it with what app to do it. It's a webbrowser, not a filemanager. [02:39] can anybody help me? [02:39] N-S [02:39] dark: It's via luks, I believe? [02:39] ninja: ask away [02:39] microhaxo, here it is in /usr/bin/nautilus [02:39] Ninja, just state your problem [02:39] mlissner: try to mount drive not at /media/ ;) [02:39] you dont know what i am talking about [02:39] mlissner, luks and dm-crypt? [02:39] im trying to put specific program shortcuts on my desktop in XUbuntu [02:39] dark: that sounds right, yeah. [02:39] how do i do that, drag-and-drop doesnt work [02:39] microhaxo, this is not a nautilus problem, it's a firefox problem [02:39] like google chrome and skype [02:40] do you know the terminal commands to launch them? [02:40] how do you use apt-cache or dpkg to display what package a file belongs to? [02:40] mlissner, I never used any of those. But I will use in the laptop I will buy.. [02:40] Ninja, try rightclick the desktop, add a launcher [02:40] dark: it mounts OK the first time I boot the machine, but it doesn't unmount properly, and any attempt to remount it creates issues until I reboot. [02:40] dark: There is no nautilus folder in my usr/bin [02:40] idk the terminal commands though [02:40] im running 9.10 [02:40] mlissner, I am not sure if I will use truecrypt or dm-crypt. I also don't know how to help you :( [02:40] Ninja, but you might want to ask that question in #xubuntu [02:40] i did [02:40] nobodys there [02:40] dark: Do you know the way to forcibly unmount a normal drive? [02:40] or, at least, nobodys talking [02:41] microhaxo, it is a regular file. but anyway you should use /usr/bin/file-roller to open .tar files [02:41] Ninja, try doing a search in the forum www.ubuntuforums.org [02:41] ok, i'll fix that one [02:41] thanks [02:41] mlissner, sudo umount -l /directory [02:41] dark: it's not actually connected physically, but nautilus (and I assume the rest of the OS) thinks it's there. [02:41] ok [02:41] dark: why use file-roller? tar is just fine [02:41] icedtea: hello. dpkg -S /some/file [02:41] mlissner, there are other ways, but... when i try them, always, something go wrong.. [02:42] blakkheim, tar is a command line program.. [02:42] dark: yes it is [02:42] i actually never use file-roller or nautilus, and tar for me is fine [02:42] oh i figured it out [02:42] haha [02:42] help! :( [02:42] sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0777, should be 0440 [02:42] cant change it back [02:42] chmod: changing permissions of `/etc/sudoers': Operation not permitted [02:43] How do I change the start menu Icon. [02:43] Collin, try using sudo before it [02:43] jamie: there is no start menu in ubuntu, that's for windows [02:43] dark: Hmmm, I can't figure out which directory to actually umount. It shows up in nautilus, but not in the directory structure... [02:43] i did [02:43] Tr0gd0r [02:43] Collin, maybe your partition is read only? [02:43] Trek* [02:43] Collin, mount | grep ro [02:43] sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0777, should be 0440 [02:43] Segmentation fault [02:43] hmm o.o''' [02:43] wow hahaha [02:43] o lol [02:43] yea [02:43] nice [02:43] cant use sudo [02:43] jamie, open up gconf-editor, look for app>panel, somwhere in there you can specify the icon, but I don' t remember exactly where [02:43] mlissner, type mount in the terminal [02:44] and can't access the sudoers file.. hmm [02:44] Thanks, Pelo! [02:44] sounds like you'll need root, Collin [02:44] mlissner, if you are unsure you could past in the paste.ubuntu.com , if you don't think this is sensitive [02:44] are there other tools for managing hard drive partitions besides cfdisk and gparted? [02:44] okay [02:44] but that might not work... [02:44] Collin: if you haven't set a root passwd i think you'll have to reboot in single mode and restore the perms [02:44] Collin: do it from a live cd [02:44] dark: typing in mount doesn't show the disk. [02:44] Collin: if sudo didn't work, root probably won't work either [02:44] jamie, don'T thank me yet, you haven't seen what a mess the4 panel tree is [02:45] Trek, sudo didnt work cause sudoers file is 0777 [02:45] mlissner, so i guess it is not mounted... [02:45] root doesnt need sudo.. [02:45] Hmm scary that sudoers became 777 somehow. [02:45] Ummm, where exactly is gconf-editor lol? [02:45] Collin: sudo runs a command as root. i use it to mess with system files without logging in as root [02:45] Collin, if sudo don't work, you need to reboot in single user mode [02:45] is it possible to get vdpau playback working in VLC if I'm using nVidia 190.53 drivers installed, or do I need to be using the recommended driver (185.xx or whatever it is)? [02:45] jamie: try 'which command' [02:46] Collin: try booting from a LiveUSB or a LiveCD [02:46] Collin, it's a switch in grub which i forgot [02:46] r6: ok I back with a new bag.... I was able to get it to work [02:46] and try messing with your sudoers file that way [02:46] the switch is "single" [02:46] Collin, I remembered. edit the kernel line to add a 'single', then boot [02:46] dark: yeah, it seems that way, except that nautilus thinks it is. [02:46] gaelfx: 185 no.. you might need to use the 195 beta version [02:46] I have problems installing the backports the new alsa-driver [02:46] mlissner, you can close it and delete some temporary files, but... i don't know where they are located [02:46] removing "quiet" and adding "nosplash" helps too [02:47] * Trek must go tend to web server issues, and will return in a few minutes [02:47] are there any tools to manage hdd partitions besides cfdisk and gparted? [02:47] I need to resize one [02:47] jlca: did it work? what you did? [02:47] I recognized the sound card [02:47] dark: here's the error I get if I click the drive in nautilus: http://paste.ubuntu.com/359873/ [02:47] woooh! [02:47] root worked [02:47] ty [02:47] lol [02:47] Collin: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:47] i got scared for a sec [02:47] :P [02:47] ... [02:47] gey [02:48] r6: I just uncommented that line and rebooted with negative results. however I realized that you must run update-grub for the changes to take affect and that did it. [02:48] haha [02:48] mlissner, okay, it is not mounted. when you click it, nautilus tries to mount. type dmesg to see some more info on this error [02:48] mlissner, it might be the case that you entered the wrong password, or the partition is damaged [02:48] how would i link an internet connection to the desktop? [02:49] Schui, 'connection'? like a shortcut for 'connect/disconnect'? [02:49] yeah its for my uncle [02:49] jlca: sorry i forgot to tell you that, what were the options that worked? [02:49] Schui, can you make a bash script...? I am unsure if ubuntu would have this out of box [02:49] dark: yeah, I might have entered the wrong password...that's possible. [02:50] I tried in gconf-editor to look for the start icon, but I was unsuccessful. [02:50] r6: there were no additional options add. [02:50] if you were wondering its just the wireless connection for his laptop, i managed to get it to work without the verizon manager [02:50] anybody know how i can get into the mint server? [02:50] i guess its not really a big deal, since you can choose connections from that little icon thing [02:50] jamie: if you mean the ubuntu logo icon by the applications menu - the 'ubuntu-tweak' tool lets you change that easially [02:50] Awesome! [02:50] I have that. [02:50] !mint | Ninja [02:50] Ninja: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), crunchbang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #remote-exploit) [02:50] Ninja: If it's the mint I'm thinking of, there's a big hole in the middle. [02:50] mlissner, in some encryption schemes, entering the wrong password is indistinguishable from trying to mount a corrupted file system [02:50] do i just type that into the server name? [02:50] r6: it might work just adding nosplash if one ran updat-grub afterward [02:51] got it, GRUB_TERMINAL, i'll try that! [02:51] onetinsoldier I do love it :-) Pity it doesn't have a -humans switch. Reading stats in bytes is such a pain :-) [02:51] dark how would i do a bash script? [02:51] hole? [02:51] Thanks Dr_Willis. [02:51] Schui, can't he use the wizard that is in the taskbar? [02:51] Ninja: Polos man! [02:51] yeah i guess so lol [02:51] it would just be easier [02:51] N-S: glad you like it :-) i think there is a way to switch between kb/s, kB/s, ect [02:51] Schui, there are commands in the terminal that connects / disconnects from a connection (be it adsl or other kind of connection) === ben is now known as Guest44038 [02:52] dark i'll look it up, thank you [02:52] N-S: poke around in the config... pretty sure it's there somewhere [02:52] Schui, if you put that commands in a text file and put the first line as #!/bin/bash, and mark the script as 'executable', when you double click the file, it will execute the commands in the order specificed in the file [02:53] Schui, as it it were executed in terminal [02:53] onetinsoldier ok, it's not in the man or -h. [02:53] N-S: roger [02:53] irc.what.cd [02:53] dark - i see.. well i guess i could try it, if anything i would at least know how to make a bash script. lol [02:53] I think the ifconfig command should do the trick. So this is a matter of making a script with a line that would look like, maybe, sudo ifconfig eth0 down for disconnecting, sudo ifconfig eth0 up for connecting === matt_ is now known as Guest4398 [02:54] Schui, :) [02:54] does anyone know how to get a what.cd invite [02:54] Guest4398, beg somebody who has it already and uploads a lot. [02:54] fei whats he want [02:54] ya, tried that [02:55] hiexpo, a what.cd invite [02:55] dark: Thanks for the help, it looks like IRC doesn't have the answer I seek. [02:55] aha! running fdisk, I got this error : "blah blah number of cylinders = 7270, blah blah this is > 1024, may cause problems with partitioning software from other OS's" [02:55] Hi, I have a fresh install of Karmic on my flashdrive and it boots cleanly. [02:55] mlissner, or maybe the one with the answer is sleeping right now.. who knows? [02:55] hugh [02:55] Samp: thats just a warning - that dosent really apply to newer machines these days [02:55] hm. I was afraid of that. [02:56] OMG [02:56] google chromium is so damn buggy [02:56] hiexpo, highlighting somebody or asking what it is? [02:56] Samp: its niot an error. Unless you got a 10+ yr old machine and are using LILO [02:56] the options window cant be resized without it STAYING one size [02:56] Question - Is there any way I can change the way things in the bottom gnome panel react when they need attention? Such as IMs. How do I control whether or not they flash? I put a new theme on I really like and they dont flash now. Can I change it? [02:56] Howto change the Karmic hostname: ubuntu to something custom like spongebob [02:56] microhaxo: oh? ive not had any issues with it at all. [02:56] you make it larger and it's stuck that way! [02:56] @microhaxo: try google chrome dev build [02:56] i thought chromium is better? [02:56] Dr_Willis: but cfdisk and gparted report my partitions as empty space [02:56] @microhaxo: it runs without a hitch. i use it as my primary browser [02:56] ya dont understand that a what cd [02:57] Roasted_, are you sure it's not a program preference? [02:57] UbuntuFish, dont tell people to Google something. [02:57] even though an OS is installed there. [02:57] Samp: after partioniong a disk be sure to WRITE or APPLY changes to the disk [02:57] hiexpo, it's a music sharing community thing [02:57] oh [02:57] @microhaxo: chromium is the "bleeding edge" version of chrome [02:57] gotcha [02:57] Schui, something: go to the desktop folder with cd ~/Desktop, do a echo '#!/bin/bash\nzenity --question' > test, then chmod +x test, then double click the "test" file on the desktop [02:57] @microhaxo: chrome is more polished and stable [02:57] microhaxo: option window resizes fine here. [02:57] Dr_Willis: the partitions were created during an install of fedora12 [02:57] FeiRuoWa, When I get IMs, they flash on the default panel. I put a new theme in, they don't flash. I dont see how it would be... [02:57] geezenslaw_; check /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts [02:58] Samp: no idea then. see what 'sudo fdisk -l' says perhaps [02:58] @eremite: i wasn't telling him to google something. i was telling him to try using "google chrome dev build" [02:58] Schui, when you double click it, it should display a question dialog that ask if you want to proceed (you can change zenity --question to zenity --warning and see what happens) [02:58] I did but when I reboot it gets reset back to ubuntu [02:58] UbuntuFish, oh, so sorry. [02:58] @eremite: lol no problem. [02:59] UbuntuFish, I use this when people need me to Google something for them -- http://lmgtfy.com/ [02:59] I think the problem is that it's got an lvm filesystem for some reason. I wonder if that's the standard for fedora installs. Either way it's not really an ubuntu question so I'll poke around elsewhere; see if a reinstall helps. [02:59] Mr. Dr_Willis. [02:59] @eremite: lol [02:59] dark, when i typed in echo '#!/bin/bash\nzenity --question' there was only a blank line [02:59] dark, without the quotes of course [03:00] the quotes are actually necessary [03:00] In Ubuntu Tweak, where is the place to change my ubuntu icon? [03:00] oh okay haha [03:00] hello [03:00] so, everyone. i have heard on the internetz that ubuntu lucid won't have compiz support. surely you jest! pls tell me it isn't true [03:00] @reginald: hello [03:00] Schui, (but what about joining #bash ? maybe our discussion here is beginning to be slightly off-topic) [03:00] :s [03:01] r6: did it work? [03:01] jamie, what Ubuntu icon? Do you mean your theme Icon? Change your icon theme. Right click desktop, change desktop background, then choose themes and then customize. [03:01] geezenslaw_: you're using karmic? [03:01] UbuntuFish: i'm in Lucid right now.. in compiz. don't know what the plans are for the future or anything.. but, for now it has compiz [03:01] dark, roger [03:02] jlca: i realized it'll give me a text console, but i want framebuffer console :/ [03:02] jamie: explore the settings its just a little button in there somewhere i saw last night could be you need the latest version. Mine auto-update [03:02] onetinsoldier: yay! thanks. btw, how is it? [03:02] hello [03:03] Oh, It did say I need to update, but I ignored it, I will try that. [03:03] r6: i don't know the diff [03:03] i have disk problems is there any hdd regenerator for ubuntu? ( im running live cd now) [03:03] UbuntuFish: it's a heck of a lot like Karmic, seriously. it's nice, except Xorg is newer version(7.5 rather than 7.4), kernel is bleeding edge too. so, i can't install proprietary video card driver to get 3d accel going. not yet anyway [03:03] Roasted_, something else could have gotten changed accidentally [03:03] jamie: gnome settings 'click tghe buttion to change the menu logo'....... [03:04] jlca: framebuffer gives you graphics mode console, you can set pseudo text resolutions higher than 80x25 [03:04] meeeeeeeeeeeew [03:04] eremite i told her that earlier [03:04] FeiRuoWa, No. Nothing got changed. I've tried several themes. Each theme often reacts differently. It's definitely a theme thing... but something I'm hoping I can change... [03:04] jlca: very common and i been using it from years, but with latest ubuntus i couldn't anymore [03:04] <_CommandeR_> doing a bash script need help. variable=bzr revno but that dont work so how should it be?

[03:10] Samp: for the most part yes [03:11] @onetinsoldier: awesome. my karmic install seems nice and fast, but that will be nice to have a faster interface. how is it for boot time? [03:11] Samp: I have been running it for almost 6 months using multiple machines and have yet to have any problems [03:11] err. [03:11] cool. [03:11] UbuntuFish: seems a little faster [03:11] @onetinsoldier: i guess i don't need to type @ before people's names do i [03:11] Disk recovery - Photorec and testdisk [03:11] oh, can ubuntu resize partitions during an install? [03:11] it can, right? [03:11] hahahahahaha [03:11] UbuntuFish: nope.. no @ sign needed :-) [03:11] onetinsoldier: is it like 10 sec? or is that all hype [03:12] lol [03:12] samp: yes [03:12] yester64, Samp [03:12] hey ubuntufish "this isn't aim" hahahahaha [03:12] Well I'm back again haha.

[03:13] is there a way to change/lock values stored in RAM? [03:13] onetinsoldier: cool [03:13] anyone here use kdenlive? === Bwaah is now known as o12OzMouse [03:14] BrixSat2: photorec will make generic files with long strings of characters for names because it doesn't use the filesystem. But it will likely get your data. [03:14] onetinsoldier If you do find anything about -human, please pm. I'm off to bed (4:14 AM). Thank you. [03:14] onetinsoldier: how about stability? === root_ is now known as Guest78341 [03:15] My ubuntu tweak is not changing the default icon, Although I have chosen the picture I want, and said yes to make the changes now. It looks like it refreshes the gnome bar, but never does anything to the icon [03:15] anyone use kdenlive? its really unstable for me and it after i reinstalled it it didn't have any codecs. [03:15] N-S: i'll let you know if i do. take care. night :-) [03:16] Which group does a normal user have to belong to in order to access the framebuffer? [03:16] hi, does anyone know of any sites/documents which will help me install a virtual framebuffer on a Ubuntu9.0 environment ? [03:17] how do I get my mic working in 9.10? [03:17] !mic | CyL [03:17] hmm [03:18] UbuntuFish: really, i haven't been using it long enough to be a very good judge of that. yesterday, it was hanging on shutdown. today i updated the package list and there was a newer version of the kernel(subversion went from -10 to -11). i let it upgrqade everythying. shuts down and reboots fine now [03:18] Cyl plug it in and make sure its not muted is a good start.... [03:18] iflema: it is a bultin mic, and it is not muted... [03:19] CyL and its not a lowercase l [03:19] UbuntuFish: however... if i update often, you never know what might happen or come my way in this 'alpha' os ;-) you get some, surprises now and then. years ago i used to run debian sid [03:19] so i have an idea of what it can be like [03:20] iflema: sorry? [03:20] onetinsoldier: yeah. i installed karmic really early on. i don't really regret it, it was fun, but i used the like alpha as my only os [03:20] UbuntuFish: roger [03:20] My ubuntu tweak is not changing the default icon, Although I have chosen the picture I want, and said yes to make the changes now. It looks like it refreshes the gnome bar, but never does anything to the icon === o12OzMouse is now known as Bwaah [03:21] onetinsoldier: its not as exciting on the official release date when all you get is a few minor updates. i ended up doing a full reinstall after the official release. [03:21] Which group does a normal user have to belong to in order to access the framebuffer? [03:22] everyone i am going for now, bye [03:22] is it video? [03:22] UbuntuFish: yeah. i would recommend full reinstall after official release, although not really 'required'. and yeah, the alpha is more exciting! sometimes you'd swear a newer version of a package is coming in every ten minutes, hehe. [03:23] Anyone here a fluxbox guru? [03:24] if you slip up your /home /boot and / partition you don't have to reinstall on /home and backup your files thought I would [03:24] Evening all. Anyone available to help me configure xorg to use a tv-out connection?? [03:25] *split [03:25] Did you guys any solutions for wpa2 enterprise wifi auth with username, password and domain name? I am using gnome. Thanks [03:27] Has anyone had any trouble connecting wirelessly to a Netgear router. I am using Xubuntu 9.10 [03:27] Long story short: I have 9.10 (server edition) running, and I'd like to put X on it to provide a graphical display. Here's my xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/mf51e74a - But when I run startx, or even X -config xorg.conf.new, I get this: http://pastebin.com/m1887d9ff - And the full output log is here: http://pastebin.com/m276640bf - Any ideas? [03:27] xubunoobie: Nope Mine works fine [03:27] is just netgear routers [03:29] I went to a computer lab with a linksys router and it worked fine, but I am not able to connect to my new netgear. No problem connecting with XP [03:29] I googled the problem and there were old posts of people having this problem connecting to Netgear routers with older versions of Ubuntu. Unfortunately there were no solutions posted. [03:29] ubuntu sux [03:30] yea and you're great [03:31] So can someone help me get X configured? [03:31] Anyone know of a great way to do anything with google docs [03:31] i downloaded a nautilus script for it to send txt files to googledocs but it doesnt even run :| [03:31] anyone familiar with the whole pulseaudio / jack compatibiltiy issue? Can they co-exist? [03:32] Anyone know which group a normal user has to belong to in order to access the framebuffer? [03:33] Fezzler: I have never gotten pulseaudio to work with jack. Better of using ALSA or OSS. [03:34] Question - Is there any way I can change the way things in the bottom gnome panel react when they need attention? Such as IMs. How do I control whether or not they flash? I put a new theme on I really like and they dont flash now. Can I change it? [03:34] tweaksource: So just uninstall pulseaudio - that's what I figured. I only installed it to record audio reference songs from YouTube for my guitar/Ardour sessions [03:34] plazia: video? [03:34] tweaksource: It introduced a ton of latency [03:34] r6, thanks! [03:34] DJCharlie: Sorry. I don't see anything I know how to fix. [03:35] someone wants me to scan their IP for the honeypot test? is that ok? [03:35] I did ask if it was video LOL [03:22:20] is it video? [03:35] I'm having trouble getting my mic working... any advice, pleased? [03:35] tweaksource: I guess there is another way to record YouTube video with fflmgr or something like that [03:35] Fezzler: Yeah. I'm not a big fan of pa. pavucontrol is the best thing for it. [03:36] Firefox + Video Downloadhelper [03:36] Balsaq, I wouldn't. [03:36] plazia: hey it's a guess eh? i'm not positive but i'd try [03:36] r6, tried it and it works perfectly [03:36] tweaksource: I really don't need it. Why do people like /need pusleaudio - it must serve some nitche [03:36] had to log out first [03:37] cool [03:37] r6, once again thanks [03:37] no problem :) [03:37] I do like pavucontrol because you can direct the input/output streams of different apps to different places. [03:38] Perhaps pulse audio will become really good. Who knows. [03:38] Fezzler: multiplexing sound over a non multiplexing card afaik [03:38] Fezler: what audio interface are you using? [03:38] Fezzler: I alway thought is was cool how you could send you sound out put across the network to stuff I don't know if jack can do that never really used it pulse was has been fine for me [03:38] r6: Thanks - whatever that is :) [03:39] what problems are people having with Pulse Audio? [03:39] Is it different sound sources at the same time? [03:39] Fezzler: lol, it is playing music and hearing system sounds, for example [03:39] ben_ yep [03:39] I never really noticed anything wrong with it. [03:39] same [03:39] besides network streaming is cool [03:39] When you try to do real-time audio, pulse audio is a booger. [03:40] im watching a youtube video, playing White Zombie, and hitting backspace in an empty textbox. [03:40] you can use jack for that thought pulse if fine for use casual users [03:40] no problems. [03:40] ben_: I installed it as an easy way to use Audacity to record sound off YouTube. Reference songs for guitar hobby. After I installed it, Jack had huge latency issues I could not resolve. I final figured out it was pulseaudio causing it [03:40] i finally got some spare time to trow in a 80gb with ubuntu its my computer is realy quick now :) [03:41] cosmopaladin: It sucks to play your guitar and hear it 2 seconds later. Really hard to record that way. [03:41] Could someone help me? http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2009/08/google-doc-integration-ubuntu-linux.html This does not work AT ALL for me on 9.10 [03:41] I see where that would be a problem [03:41] thanks djcharlie [03:41] I cant get any glscreensavers like GLMATRIX to work after installing video codecs and mplayer? [03:41] ben_ plug in some headphones and see if ya speakers still blare [03:42] that honeypot test sounds really freaky [03:42] tweaksource: Yea, especially when I don't have a lot of time to practice / play. [03:42] wich pluggs do i need for video and music? [03:42] tweaksource: so you use jack and things are fine right [03:42] How to convert mp3 to ac3 ? [03:42] jack with ALSA or OSS. Jack and PA don't mix. [03:43] Question - Is there any way I can change the way things in the bottom gnome panel react when they need attention? Such as IMs. How do I control whether or not they flash? I put a new theme on I really like and they dont flash now. Can I change it? [03:43] tweaksource: pulseaudio - zapped. gone. uninstalled. I hope it didn't leave anything troublesome behind [03:43] tweaksource: i will keep that in mind if I ever need to do any real audio editing [03:43] @iflema: when I plug my headphones into Logitech's headphone port everythign works. when I plug it into my computer's headphone port I still get sound from th speakers. [03:43] Xcell: install soundconverter [03:43] Editing is fine, it's only when you need to take audio in, really. [03:43] ok, tx [03:43] Anyone help with a nautilus script not working?? [03:44] Jack works great with my Digitech RP250 as a USB audio card for sound in and out [03:44] ben_ theres one issue for a lot of people... [03:44] Fezzler: Lemme check and see what I have running. [03:44] what's that? [03:45] tweaksource: may go ProTools soon with M-Box or Edirol Firewire and stay with Ardour/Reaper [03:45] random question: if I got a tattoo that covered say 75% of my back, how much do you think I'd be looking at in US dollars?

[04:31] scunizi: 1, it's not a dual-head situation. And 2, xrandr won't run PERIOD.

[04:35] scunizi: Running X without xorg.conf throws the SAME errors. Onboard video, and it does the same thing using a monitor instead of the television. [04:35] Is there anyway to have a script mount a drive when a network connection is detected? [04:35] can I reinstall Linux OS WITHOUT losing my other files? [04:36] Doesanyone know if this is support in ubuntu ATI Radeon HD3200?

[04:43] gnome [04:44] gnome is not a window manager [04:44] I dont know what else youre asking then [04:44] hdon: grub2? [04:44] blakkheim: GNOME is not a window manager--correct. GNOME is a desktop (or computing) environment. It uses the Metacity window manager. [04:44] I'm having trouble with usb-creator. It gets to starting up and just sits there forever [04:45] Roasted: You don't heed room for the task manager? [04:45] well, wahtever comse default with gnome [04:45] DJCharlie: wow .. I take it you don't want to try to install ubuntu-desktop because of all the dependancies.. how 'bout xubuntu-desktop.. if x and the gui work then it would be fixed.. openbox should be an option on login.. if it works you can uninstall xubuntu and leave openbox.. if it still doesn't work manually set the resolution/scan rate for the crt & TV using xrandr.. it all comes back to xrandr.. however if you can configure xorg.co [04:45] usr13, I kind of use my bottom panel like most people use docks.

I just want a clean X-and-dgm-2/20 install, no strange scripts that may break on updates and whatever... I just want it back to how it used to be... [06:24] how do i get Adobe Flash Player to install in this ai extention called unbuntu [06:24] Threetimes: you should add like this, [06:24] /etc/bin startx [06:24] powertool08: In karmic, you don't need an xorg.conf because in latest radeon driver, the default is exa [06:24] exit 0 [06:24] is there a specific procedure i need to follow? [06:25] Ok folks, X is running on my tv-out apparently, but it's rolling vertically. [06:25] jack5463: 32 bit or 64 bit? [06:25] do i need to reconfigure xorg? [06:25] soreau: Was that the only give-away? [06:25] 32 i'm running live cd [06:25] when i try to load Win on my duel boot machine, it says: Unrecognided device device, error 11 , It was working fine before, what may be the error? [06:25] !flash | jack5463 [06:25] jack5463: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [06:26] powertool08: It's written all over your X log like if it was written all over your face with a sharpie marker :D [06:26] soreau: I added the line. So if I restart X it should be good to go, or is there more? [06:26] powertool08: Nope, you should be good to go after X restart [06:26] soreau: ? [06:27] soreau: Ok, I get it now, nope there is not more. [06:27] Threetimes: hmm, try this too, after stoping gdm, ati-xconfig === Militant is now known as militant [06:28] powertool08: Just restart X and check the output of 'glinfo|grep renderer' again. If it doesn't talk about Sofware Rasterizer but instead Mesa DRI R300, you're good to go [06:28] soreau: Ok, I've got a bunch of windows open now so I'll restart X tomorrow. I also need to get some sleep, got work in 5 hours. [06:29] soreau: Thank you for the help. [06:29] Threetimes: Stop your gdm and try ati-xconfig [06:29] Threetimes: and restart your gdm as well [06:30] Gnea: Still trying with lm-sensors, turns out to run it87 driver i need to hack grub, so ive added some code to grub2 but still no lcuk, still working wiht some other guiys who have done it :( [06:30] rumpsy: I will [06:30] i am installing a new graphics card. I have onboard ati. Any general help would be appreciated [06:31] can I just install the card and run sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg from the command line? [06:31] ouyes: In order to get fglrx working in karmic 9.10, just use sys>admin>hardware drivers. Alternatively to use the open radeon driver, you must not install fglrx but instead do: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [06:31] ouyes: In either case, restart and 3D should be working [06:31] Adil: If you didn't create a custom xorg.conf, Xorg should just autodetect the new card and deal with it. You shouldn't need to dpkg-reconfigure. [06:32] please helpme how can i delete with g parted linux? i need to reinstall xp [06:32] zzzxzzz: #windows [06:32] zzzxzzz: You need to do like powertool08 said, get the xp cd and press enter about 20 times [06:32] zzzxzzz: I told you, pop in the cd, reboot, hit next 20 times. [06:32] zzzxzzz: you don't need gparted to delete linux. put in the windows cd and when asked select format entire drive. [06:33] powertool08: that isn't helpful [06:33] Threetimes: The best way is to follow this guide, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI [06:33] IdleOne: We don't support windows here [06:33] So it doesn't need to be helpful [06:33] thank you rww [06:33] soreau: I understand that but #windows is probably telling him to ask here [06:33] zzzxzzz: One of steps gives you the option to delete current partitions (your ubuntu one) and format it to install windows. [06:33] guerd87: ah, well good luck, sorry I couldn't help any further [06:34] rumpsy: Still won't work (do you mean aticonfig? there is no ati-xconfig) [06:34] soreau: and yes it does need to be helpful. the Ubuntu community is not anti windows. [06:34] IdleOne: That just goes to show how they are just a bunch of knuckle heads. Besides, he never said he asked in #windows [06:34] I have a dual core cpu but I believe my ubuntu uses only one (the resource monitor is always at half max). How to check how many processors ubuntu thinks I have? [06:34] yes aticonfig [06:35] soreau: Support with removing Ubuntu is not off-topic for this channel. [06:35] rww: Installing windows is though [06:35] I'm not being anti windows, if zzzxzzz would just go for it and read the prompts, they could figure it out. [06:35] soreau: doesn't matter they are or how they act, we need to be better then that :) [06:35] IdleOne: So we already told him! boot the xp cd and go to town! [06:35] Is there any way to kill X remotely? [06:35] Threetimes, aticonfig [06:35] how to check how many CPUs ubuntu thinks I have? [06:36] soreau: I know it seems obvious to us but he needed a little more perhaps [06:36] please helpme how can i delete with g parted linux? i need to reinstall xp [06:36] zzzxzzz: I have answered you [06:36] IdleOne: That's where #windows comes in [06:36] Which is why I suggested he ask there [06:36] zzzxzzz: insert windows xp cd, install, that's it [06:36] where is grub conf on ubuntu? [06:36] zzzxzzz: I sent you a pm with the answer please read it [06:36] csaba: grep name /proc/cpuinfo | wc -l [06:37] thanks blahhheim [06:37] Threetimes, sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv [06:37] Threetimes, sudo aticonfig --initial [06:37] I don't have the invoke-rc.d error anymore. I'll do a reboot to besure [06:37] hmm it says 2, but why is the usage monitor always showing 50% at most? [06:37] I'm having trouble changing my applications distro icon. I was wondering if anyone could help me? [06:38] Threetimes, don't use sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv [06:38] csaba: One thread can't run on two cores at the same time, and most applications are not multithreaded, so if you have one thing using all the CPU it can, it'll likely only be using one core. [06:38] Threetimes, best of luck [06:38] plustax: You need to explain more and learn to ask better questions. Your distros icon is all over the place. Exactly where do you want to change it? [06:39] plustax: It's much quicker for you if you don't leave us up to guessing [06:39] csaba: If you had *two* programs using all the CPU they could, it would hit 100%. [06:39] hmm maybe [06:39] soreau I just did. applications menu. That thing at the upper left next to the word applications. Right now it's a gnome foot. and I want to be able to change it to whatever I want! [06:39] plustax: All I saw was I'm having trouble changing my applications distro icon. I was wondering if anyone could help me? [06:40] ! ask | plustax [06:40] plustax: 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. :-) [06:40] soreau I can wrangle up some screen coordinates if you'd like. [06:40] rumpsy: i did aticonfig --initial and a reboot, but still nothing [06:40] That way you can google maps my questions. [06:40] haha [06:40] plustax: The part where it says 'all on one line' is key here [06:40] rumpsy: and i need this laptop for school in like 5 minutes. This day sucks! [06:40] soreau: fair enough, fair enough. I will get better at it. [06:41] Threetimes, goto System->Administration->Hardware Drivers. [06:41] plustax: I am not trying to be mean, I want to help you ask better questions so you get better results :) [06:41] Thank you sir, I understand [06:41] Threetimes, The easiest way to install binary drivers is to use the built in Hardware Drivers manager in Ubuntu. [06:42] plustax: But to be frank, I do not know how to change the ubuntu icon in the gnome-panel next to the applications menu [06:42] hello [06:42] soreau : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2066611/Screenshot.png [06:42] rumpsy: the included drivers are out-of-date and don't work. I've been there already... [06:42] ohh okay. Thanks [06:42] one of my users can't access any audio, what group must they be a memeber of to get it to work or what is needed to change in ubuntu 8.04 [06:42] Is it possible that just the fact that one program is installed may have a negative influence on another program even though the one program is not even running when the problems with the other program occurs? [06:43] What this command says in terminal, fglrxinfo [06:43] plustax: how did you end up with the gnome foot? [06:43] odly enoufh after a reboot my fglrx driver stopped working, now I get a blank black screen everytime I restart the laptop, anybody knows why? [06:43] is there a way to constantly send a keystroke to a window? for example if i wanted to send "mousewheel down" every n ms so long as capslock is on [06:43] plustax: but that is the question I would ask if I were you, "How can I change the ubuntu icon next to the Application menu in gnome-panel?" [06:43] kk [06:43] rumpsy: unable to open display [06:44] IdleOne I got that in an icon set off of gnome-look. I know how to install those. [06:44] i had a problem with matlab and hex-editor...Once i installed hex-editor matlab worked like cr.. and when i uninstalled it it worked just fine....Even though hex-editor was not even running [06:44] So problem exits in driver [06:44] But I can't figure out how to change that individually. [06:44] rumpsy: What are you trying to do? [06:45] is hardy supported now? the 8.04 LTS [06:45] !lts [06:45] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04). The next LTS release is scheduled to be !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [06:45] Or what is Threetimes trying to do [06:45] i'm helping him to install a proper driver to get login window [06:45] hi [06:45] * Threetimes is trying to use his laptop with X and gdm [06:45] rumpsy: video driver? === me is now known as Guest37894 [06:45] qiyong: Hardy's supported until April 2011 on desktop and April 2013 on servers. [06:45] soreau: ?, yes video driver [06:45] Threetimes: Which card model do you have? [06:46] if hardy is supported, why i get 404 error from apt-get update? [06:46] rww, ^ [06:46] Mobility HD4570 [06:46] ima slut [06:46] qiyong: copy the entire output of apt-get update to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ and link the page it creates here. [06:46] fglrxinfo -display :0 just hands and without -display it displays the error [06:47] Threetimes: What version of ubuntu? [06:47] hell > debian [06:47] 9.10 [06:47] Threetimes: How did you install the driver? [06:47] Guest37894: Do you have an Ubuntu support question? [06:47] I ran the binary installer (9.12) from ati.com [06:48] the version included in ubuntu doesn't work [06:48] Yes, where is the equivalent to ifcfg-eth0? [06:48] Threetimes: Well you probably want to remove that by running the uninstall script in /usr/share/ati and install instead via sys>admin>hardware drivers [06:48] How do I view what pci devices are currently installed? [06:48] ! work | Threetimes [06:48] Threetimes: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [06:49] Guest37894: /etc/network/interfaces (see `man interfaces`) and `lspci` [06:49] Thank you sir [06:49] Threetimes: Your other option is to install the latest open driver packages which will give you 3D acceleration [06:49] plustax: this should work http://www.pendrivelinux.com/changing-the-ubuntu-start-menu-panel-icon/ [06:50] I think Threetimes and I have the same problem [06:50] soreau: is it suitable for day-to-day use already? Are we talking about radeonhd? [06:50] afroman: Which card do you have? [06:50] ati mobility radeon hd 3470 [06:50] Anyone have any experience with BlueCherry dvr cards? unbuntu os [06:50] Threetimes: No, you don't want radeonhd for the open driver. You want radeon [06:50] afroman: Can you explain the problem you're having? [06:51] I can tell both of you how to use the open driver for 3D on karmic [06:51] oh. How do I use it? Should I use it for school work? (as in: teachers get angry when my laptop crashes) [06:51] soreau: cool [06:51] soreau: I did an apt-get update, then came the upgrade window [06:51] I clicked on install, then restarted the laptop [06:52] that's when I got the black screen everytime I try to enter X [06:52] soreau: Start to explain for us [06:52] afroman: you did the update thing yesterday? [06:52] ya [06:52] Hello [06:52] Threetimes: rumpsy: 1) Look at the output of 'dpkg -l|grep fglrx' and remove any packages with 'ii' next to them 2) Run this to install latest open driver packages 'sudo apt-add-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade' 3) Rename, move or remove /etc/X1//xorg.conf 4) Reboot. [06:53] Is there any special precautions I should take to be ready for 2012? [06:53] how do I ping the staffers in freenode? /stats p doesn't seem to work. [06:53] dragon: ask in #freenode, people who are voiced are staff [06:53] rww: thanks [06:53] Threetimes, rumpsy: The xorg-edgers PPA is beta-quality software, may break your computer, and is not supported. === mcmlxxi is now known as suigeneris [06:54] I don't have apt-add?! [06:54] oic :O [06:54] its apt-get -add [06:54] maybe that was for afroman ^^ and not rumpsy, not sure who's the one with the problem :) [06:54] soreau: Please read https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa , including the part where it says not to tell people to use xorg-edgers without pointing them to that page. [06:54] since upgrading to karmic, I haven't been able to change my headphone volume. Any idea how I could do this? System > Preferences > Sound has nothing that I could see. [06:55] rww: No thank you, I will continue to suggest and promote the open source driver [06:55] soreau: "** Please do not publish instructions for how to install from this archive without linking to this page! Anyone using packages from this archive is expected to read this page first. ** [06:55] soreau: it's me ;) [06:55] soreau: but U went a bit too fast [06:55] soreau: I use those drivers too, but pointing people at them without having them read that page first is irresponsible and against the wishes of the PPA maintainers. [06:56] rumpsy: apt-add-repository does not work? [06:56] not working for, Threetimes [06:57] Ok, IdleOne ? [06:57] IdleOne: apt-add-repository: command not found [06:57] soreau: the xorg-edgers is alpha/beta software and that is why the user should be told before hand of the dangers [06:58] soreau: that only works on 9.10+ [06:58] soreau: before that they have to edit sources.list [06:58] Well good then [06:58] I can still recommend this and if it doesn't work they can't break it [06:59] as a novice ubuntu user how can i find documentation on changing the boot sequence so that Vista is the defauls os rather than ubuntu? Is there a manual available on this subject? [06:59] Otherwise they will figure it out by reading between the lines [06:59] i'm LTS, apt-add is not working for me too now, just now i checked [06:59] I ran out of time, i'll install these new cool drivers later today... [06:59] Hi folks.My newly installed Karmic-system shuts itself down at night. The Power management-dialogue states that this should never happen. What could be the cause for the shutdown, then? [06:59] Threetimes: Have a good day [07:00] soreau: We can not assume that the user knows what PPA, we have a responsibility to let them know what it is they are doing. [07:00] what PPA is* [07:01] IdleOne: Right but we can assume that if they don't, they will run whatever command hits the deck and since apt-add-repository is not working on default karmic, it wont work so they can't possibly understand how to break it [07:02] If they do know how to break it, they can do that until it works [07:02] rumpsy: see https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa please read it and click on the link if you are not running karmic for instructions on adding the repository [07:02] IdleOne: Okay, :) , i follow [07:03] afroman: ^^ [07:03] IdleOne: my point of view is, i recommend using default drivers :) [07:03] soreau: Please follow the advise a number of people have given you in the past few minutes. Breaking people's systems is not support. [07:04] eqaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa [07:04] ola [07:04] qen sta ai [07:04] rumpsy: yes Default is always the safest way to go. That said if you wish to help test the beta drivers you know where to look now :) [07:04] Flannel: With all due respects, I will promote and continue to support the open driver, especially in this case where fglrx does not reportedly work [07:04] Flannel: rumpsy; soreau: what do I do? [07:05] soreau: Do not suggest it in a vacuum. Continuing to do so will result in you being removed from this channel. [07:05] afroman: rumpsy: see https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa please read it and click on the link if you are not running karmic for instructions on adding the repository [07:05] i aam a danny [07:05] afroman: https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa as I told rumpsy please read the link and follow instructions [07:05] !es | guaperas [07:05] Flannel: I don't really care. If you choose to not allow me to do support here, that is your decision [07:05] guaperas: 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. [07:05] a you [07:05] ;) , i'm doing that [07:06] soreau: may i msg you? [07:06] and you [07:06] soreau: Please follow the channel guidelines. That's all I'm asking. If you feel you cannot abide by them, please leave. [07:06] IdleOne: You already have without asking, why do you ask now? [07:06] Hmm, nice people here :) [07:06] brb [07:06] Is there someway to play Rock Band in Ubuntu? [07:06] soreau: haha I did do that sorry [07:06] my msg issss.....guaperas_danny@hotmail.es [07:06] soreau: so is it ok for me to msg you now? [07:07] hello [07:07] Flannel: I wont argue with you, because you are right be default but I wont stop suggesting the open radeon driver to get 3D working on r6-7xx cards [07:07] goodbay [07:08] soreau: Again, don't suggest it in a vacuum. Let the user read the page, with the warnings. It's important to understand when you're doing a dangerous thing, so you're prepared when it explodes. [07:08] IdleOne; soreau; I get it, it's unstable, my pc might crash [07:08] You killed my father. [07:08] Prepare to die [07:08] i am off spaihn [07:09] Flannel: Ok, can you explain this vacuum you speak of? I already suggested the ubuntu methods by default and they reportedly are not working [07:09] soreau: all rww and Flannel are saying is that we should point them to the link so they can read about the potential danger [07:09] soreau: "Run this magic command" is bad. [07:09] Flannel: Alright, fairnough(TM) [07:10] yes i does [07:10] Threetimes: U there? [07:10] hey has anyone here gotten clean urls to work with ubuntu and drupal? [07:10] afroman: yup you got it :) [07:11] a few question, how do U recommend removing the fglrx*? [07:11] IdleOne: a few questions, how do U recommend removing the fglrx*? [07:11] IdleOne: apt-get remove? [07:12] afroman: yes [07:12] IdleOne: or pick one at the time in the synaptic package manager? [07:13] afroman: you can select them all in synaptic if you like [07:13] IdleOne: what about other files related to fglrx? [07:13] afroman: If any fglrx driver is installed, the open radeon driver will not be able to do 3D [07:13] I'm getting this at boot: "One or more of the mounts listed in /etc/fstab cannot yet be mounted: swap: waiting for UUID-... Press ESC to enter a recovery shell" [07:13] IdleOne: shall I leave them or remove them as well? [07:13] afroman: sudo aptitude purge '~nfglrx' to purge all packages with "fglrx" in namefield [07:14] afroman: good question. I think soreau might know better then me [07:14] or llutz :) [07:14] llutz: thx [07:14] why do i get this error msg? attached scsi generic sg2 type 0 [07:14] can anyone help me? I am looking for documentation to learn how to edit the grub menu on a vista machine, so that vista is the default os. I am a linux novice, and would like to find a source to learn how. [07:14] llutz; IdleOne; after the remove, shall I restart the pc? [07:14] afroman: If you are intending to use the open driver, you should remove any packages with fglrx in their name [07:14] IdleOne: no clue about ati, just wanted to show a way to remove it in one turn [07:15] afroman: no first install the xorg-edgers then reboot [07:15] llutz: I don't know ati either to be honest [07:16] !grub2 | syoliven [07:16] syoliven: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [07:16] hi [07:16] hi [07:16] thank you for the info [07:17] hi [07:17] So, I don't know when it happened, or why, but when I try alsamixer, I get "function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device" -- it might be since Karmic... Any ideas? I've checked a bunch of places and found nothing. [07:17] soreau: what is the open driver? is it better? what about 3d on the open driver? how good is it? and the ccc, does it work on the open driver? does it come with the open driver or do I download it on the side? [07:18] is there any way to shrink the ubuntu partition while still inside of ubuntu (not a live CD)? [07:18] highhopes: no [07:19] IdleOne: soreau: if ccc doesn't work with the open driver is there any other software that can manage what ccc can do? [07:20] afroman: 3D on r6-7xx (HD3xxx-HD4xxx) cards have preliminary support in the karmic kernel. You need latest user space components provided by xorg-edgers repo (or compiling from git) for 3D to be active. Work on the driver is going on in the kernel progressively. [07:20] my swap space is not mounted! how do i mount my swapspace with uuid as parameter? [07:20] Hi folks.My newly installed Karmic-system shuts itself down at night. The Power management-dialogue states that this should never happen. What could be the cause for the shutdown, then? [07:21] Sapristi: power cuts ? .. look at /var/logs/ [07:21] hdon: edit fstab, "sudo swapon -a" [07:21] hi there [07:21] afroman: fglrx cannot be installed in any way for the open driver to work. amdcccle is a fglrx-specific component. For the open driver you use driconf [07:22] llutz, swapon: cannot find the device for UUID=4dcb7a74-0f73-4f1f-9215-a1dcef29549e [07:23] hdon: uuid changed? sudo blkid -g && blkid [07:23] llutz, i'm also noticing that under the new ubuntu kernel i recently updated to, my /proc/partitions contains no UUIDs, as i expected it would === distractedgirl is now known as switchgirl [07:24] llutz, i have encrypted /home enabled. the output of the blkid command you gave me does not include my old swap partition, but it does include a new unfamiliar one, /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 [07:24] IdleOne: soreau; why not reboot after the removal? after all that's what's written in the howto [07:25] hdon: sudo fdisk -l [07:25] hdon: that should show your swap-partition. if it has no uuid (why ever), just use the device-name for fstab [07:25] lol i follow the written directions but they dont work [07:26] llutz, same three partitions i am familiar with http://pastebin.mozilla.org/698576 [07:26] llutz, ok, i'll try that [07:26] IdleOne: soreau, what about hdmi? is it supported? and sound throu hdmi? do I need to change anything in /etc/X11/xorg.conf? [07:26] hdon: sorry no www here :) [07:28] in apache2.conf file where do i put the allowoverride directive? [07:28] whenever I go to save a document in gedit, the filename is highlighted but when I type, instead of the filename being changed it pops up in a small box in the lower right hand side, how can I disable this behavior? [07:28] llutz, swapon: /dev/sda2: read swap header failed: Invalid argument [07:28] when I try alsamixer, I get "function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device" -- Any ideas? I really need some help with this... [07:28] ask | can you guys help me with adding custom icons to the menu entries [07:29] ZoeyMarie, are you using intel sound? [07:29] hdon: are you sure sda2 is your swap? if yes: sudo mkswap /dev/sda2 && sudo swapon -a [07:29] llutz, i'm guessing this cryptswap has been using my swap partition with encryption? but i don't know how to see if it's mounted, or how to convince ubuntu not to have an error are bootup === Bwaah is now known as Bwaah|Sleep [07:29] can anyone help me with it [07:30] I can in just a moment praj [07:30] Garlique: I don't believe so. [07:30] ok thanks Garlique [07:30] but I desperately need to turn off this stupid autosearch behavior [07:30] hdon: sorry, i don't use encryption and have no idea what effects is has. [07:30] its soo annoying [07:30] it* [07:30] ZoeyMarie, what sound card are you using or is it integrated [07:31] i made my customized menu entries ...few of them appeared on menu list while few of them dont ....doubt its got to do something with category line of .directory [07:31] soreau: still there? [07:31] IdleOne: [07:32] Anyone have ideas about how to disable this behavior [07:32] hdon: to check if swap is active: "free " [07:32] when you type something in a window it pops up in a box in the lower right hand corner [07:32] Garlique: It's a SigmaTel one, and it's built into my laptop. [07:32] ZoeyMarie, you might try using the package gamix [07:33] gnome alsa mixer [07:33] it seems to function better than alsamixer [07:33] llutz: after the install, do I do anything with /etc/x11/xorg.conf? [07:33] afroman: don't ask me anything about graphics/sound, i have no clue about that [07:36] Garlique: gnome-alsamixer works, but I'm frustrated that alsamixer stopped working--it used to, and I'm worried that it could result in other sound issues (I do a lot of sound recording/production, so I like everything to be working properly) [07:37] hello people i am new to ubuntu or anyother linux programs [07:37] anybody can help [07:39] ZoeyMarie, I understand,, im not sure what to say other than ubuntu at least for me is not the absolute best with sound [07:40] abif: what do u need help with [07:40] ZoeyMarie, it seems that unfortunately there are problems constantly creeping in.. Sorry to have to say that and I know its not all that helpful but.. [07:41] * Awesome3000 wants to help people [07:41] ZoeyMarie, I have intel sound for example, and it works great in 8.04 but is completely broken in 9.04 [07:42] yer I have been having similiar issues think its combination of intel sound and pulse audio [07:42] ZoeyMarie, and not only is the sound broken but issues with the sound-card drivers in 9.04 cause the video to stop working [07:42] Garlique: well thanks, at least, for trying to help. :) I'll just cross my fingers that I won't have any problems when trying to use JACK or other audio apps. [07:42] ZoeyMarie, Yah just double-test everything first before a live run [07:43] Garlique: Ooh. I'm glad that I don't have video problems. [07:43] ZoeyMarie, yah it is no fun at all.. I love 9.04 but with video problems and no sound its not that useable lol [07:43] Wudz the update-alternatives thingy for FTP clients? [07:45] maybe try 9.10 I have come across some fixes [07:45] afroman: What's up? [07:46] theadmin: "ftp" [07:47] Flannel: Graphical ones, I mean %), that is, those that run in X. [07:47] theadmin: I don't know if there is one. Look in /etc/alternatives/ (I don't think I see one) [07:48] I have downloaded a theme, (This one: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Humanity-XP?content=118886 ) And I have untared the contents which is a bunch of folders and a index.theme file. How do I then load and activate this theme? [07:48] Has anyone managed to get Compiz-fusion working with Xinerama yet? [07:48] anyone here with virus/rootkit removal experience for windows? [07:48] al_: it's a linux channel :/ [07:48] Diverdude I think you drag the archive onto the themes window [07:48] al_: Windows support is in ##windows; if you want to remove viruses from Windows with Ubuntu, look into clamav. [07:48] Awesome3000, he themes window? [07:48] al_: purge all, reinsttall from clean-media [07:48] theadmin: yeah I know slightly OT, but hey linux boot disks are used to remove virsues? [07:48] I miss Ubuntu , still cant egt my usb modem dongle Huawei 3765 going, using 9.04&9.10 still no good need to load some .deb's how do I go about it ? or how to share the connection from this old xp box ? [07:49] al_: AFAIR it's quite hard. But you can try to install Avast! Linux Home, which will remove windows viruses [07:49] Also avast is good as an antivirus [07:49] Whenever I try to save a file, the filename is automatically highlighted but when I type instead of changing the filename, the text I am typing appears in a box in the lower right hand corner how can I disable this? [07:50] theadmin: yeah this one is persistent, I dont know where it hides, bit everything I throw at it, seems to stall [07:50] Hm. Can one here give me the update-alternatives command to make Nautilus the default FTP client? %) [07:50] Hi [07:50] I'm using Hardy with KDE and - though in Gnome I have the native resolution of my monitor - in KDE it is not an option. I am using proprietary ATI drivers for my X1300. How can I get this resolution available to me? [07:50] I can't figure it from reading manpages, stuff looks too complex [07:51] al_: purge all, reinstall from clean-media. you cannot be sure to have cleaned an infected system, you cannot trust it anymore [07:51] does anyone know how to retrieve lost data? [07:51] GreenDance: Lost as in...? [07:51] GreenDance: restore from backup [07:52] llutz: yeah, maybe [07:52] hello [07:52] * Awesome3000 hopes you have a back-up [07:52] llutz: sometimes I think it can be safely cleaned [07:52] Someone must have some idea about how to disable this behavior?? [07:52] where are u [07:52] al_: you cannot be sure, so "no" [07:52] theadmin, well what happened, i moved some files into another directory, then switched off my external HDD, the next morning (today) i switched on my external HDD and the files were gone, but the disk space is still being used by the files eventhough i can't see the files [07:53] al_: unless you count on the "marketing bulls...t" of those antivir-companies [07:54] anyone know how to dualboot Ubuntu 9.10 and Kubuntu 9.10 [07:54] SomeRandomDude: Just install the KDE in Ubuntu (or GNOME in Kubuntu), what's the big deal? [07:55] theadmin i dont wanna do that [07:55] SomeRandomDude: Well, if you install the second os on a separate partition, everything should go well. [07:55] not after the problems i had installing Xubuntu desktop in ubuntu [07:55] SomeRandomDude: install both, let one install grub into partition, not into mbr, and chainload then [07:55] i installed it on a second hdd [07:56] ubuntu installed first then i installed kubuntu and clicked do not install bootloader [07:56] SomeRandomDude: Xubuntu-desktop huh? is it any good by the way? Wanted to try but not sure whether it's good [07:56] theadmin i wouldnt recomend installing inside ubuntu [07:56] theadmin I use xfce and i like it [07:56] it gets cluttered [07:57] and hijacks boot and login screens [07:57] so my question is how do i add Kubuntu to grub? [07:57] SomeRandomDude just install KDE not the kubuntu-desktop [07:57] how can a hard-drive have 200 for read errors whic his indicated as worst, and still pass a smart test using smartctl on ubuntu 9.10? [07:58] Awesome3000 i already went with my option [07:58] its installed [07:58] NotTooSmart S.M.A.R.T. limits are set by the drive [07:58] im curious about slackware, does anyone have experience on it? [07:58] i just need to add it to the boot menu [07:58] Awesome3000: huh? [07:58] l1nUx1z3r: Not a place to ask actually, you should try their channel, not sure what it is though [07:59] gah [07:59] l1nUx1z3r: about 15 yrs ago, yes. but better ask in their channel [07:59] theadmin, ok, thanks [07:59] llutz, where's the channel? [07:59] NotTooSmart So the drive has no limit on read errors [07:59] my clock says it 7:57 when its actually 2:00 o.O [07:59] l1nUx1z3r: #slackware [07:59] Awesome3000: then what section is important? [08:00] SomeRandomDude: Modify the time %) [08:00] llutz, thanks [08:00] Diverdude System/prefrences/apperance [08:00] NotTooSmart 200 read errors will mean the drive is screwed, but it will pass the test because of no limits [08:01] Awesome3000: ok, but the drive works perfectly!/ [08:01] theadmin anyway to automaticly get time from a server? [08:01] NotTooSmart Well don't store anything importent on it? :) [08:01] SomeRandomDude: sudo dpkg-recofigure tzdata [08:01] :O [08:01] SomeRandomDude: sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata [08:01] damn these mitts [08:02] mneptok: No need to repeat twice %) [08:02] NotTooSmart maybe a problem with the program [08:02] theadmin: but i did not repeat [08:02] theadmin: please read carefully [08:02] Does anyone here have Compiz-fusion playing nice with Xinerama? [08:02] he left out an N [08:02] Awesome3000: im running a long test on the disk now so Ill hope [08:02] mneptok: Ah I see :D [08:02] whats Xinerama? [08:03] SomeRandomDude: apt-cache show xinerama [08:03] SMART data is merely data...it will not tell you the disk is borked [08:03] that's up to you to decide [08:03] what is a good tool to do server speed tests? to clarify, I have a site setup (the same website on both servers) and I want to test the speed and compare the two to see whats faster. [08:03] Xinerama facilitates the use of multiple monitors as if they were each their own workspace. [08:03] !xinerama [08:03] xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead [08:03] read errors aren't as scary as bad sectors [08:04] numberGrey, faster how? [08:04] raw page rendering or ability to serve more concurrent pages and totals over the same timespan? [08:04] Unfortunately I had to switch from Twinview to Xinerama when I switched from two monitors to three. But that broke Compiz-fusion. [08:04] either way try siege [08:04] ^ numberGrey [08:04] retry: raw page rendering [08:05] ok [08:05] thanks [08:05] well if you're serving scripted pages, you could just output time to render in the page [08:05] mneptok i cant find anything for my area :/ [08:05] OH HERROOOO [08:06] SomeRandomDude: you're CST/US right? [08:06] yea [08:06] theadmin: NetworkManager Applet 0.7.996 from http://www.gnome.org/projects/NetworkManager/ [08:06] SomeRandomDude: so just use Chicago [08:06] k [08:06] if your clock is off and keeps going out of sync, just set up ntpd to sync time [08:06] Awesome3000: Same as GNOME, huh? [08:06] soreau: IdleOne; hej. thx for the help [08:07] theadmin: Yeah see the site [08:07] Cool... I'll be using XFCE then, when Lucid will be out will clean-install it. [08:07] gah [08:07] Cool [08:07] why did the weather thing pop up :/ [08:07] i used to run xubu but it's not that much leaner than gnome [08:07] it's not really pure xfce environment [08:08] soreau: IdleOne; although now I don't have sound throu hdmi [08:08] and still pulls a lot of GNOME stuff in [08:08] mneptok didnt update the time [08:08] ssh fstl@192.168.1.15 [08:08] ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.15 port 22: No route to host [08:08] retry: Not really important....

[08:10] i'd like to see someone attempt a super streamlined ubuntu flavor [08:10] i still havent finished cleaning up ubuntu after installing Xubuntu [08:10] something in the puppy/dsl genre === ervina is now known as alloN_Uee [08:11] retry: dsl can't be good %) What can you fit in 50MB?

Screenshot of current state: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2012912/Screenshot.png [08:12] for some reason ubuntu is faster on my sytem then dsl [08:13] theadmin: not if you still run all the same stuff [08:13] theadmin lol we have the same amount of RAM :/ [08:13] what is that chewing on cpu theadmin? [08:13] Screamo_Smurf: I think dsl uses kernel 2.4 [08:13] theadmin: what desktop environment is that [08:13] retry: some file upload service, it sometimes jumps randomly [08:13] rumpsy: GNOME [08:14] zenlunatic why would that make it slower then ubuntu? [08:14] the thing with stock ubuntu is there's a lot of applets to turn off to free up some ram [08:14] * Awesome3000 leaves sadly [08:14] dont think xfce saves that much [08:14] but I haven't done a scientific test of that assumption...just gut feeling after trying both [08:14] and spending time turning crap off [08:14] theadmin: you were using new wave theme, :) [08:14] rumpsy: That is "dust" [08:15] I need my time back :( [08:15] o_O , may be [08:15] dsl is 2.4? that may be [08:15] I liked puppy [08:15] dsl is great for what it is [08:15] when i do ssh, why do i get this msg? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m2fa306ee [08:15] and that is 50mb [08:15] What you guys know about emperor kernel [08:15] dsl is based on knoppix right? [08:16] yea [08:16] i think [08:16] Is that a best choice [08:16] and knoppix is based on debian [08:16] knoppix is cool...they started the whole live cd phenom [08:16] so its ubuntu's cousin! [08:16] that's right [08:16] anything apt based is worth checking out [08:16] yep [08:16] Yep :D [08:16] Explore1 idk but looks weird === alloN_Uee is now known as aLLoN_UeUe [08:16] not its ubuntu's nephew [08:16] you can upgrade to apt with like 2 clicks on the last one I used [08:16] Explore1: have you reinstalled that host/ssh-server on that host?

[08:28] i dont want to do that :/ [08:28] natarajan iw win7 already installed? [08:28] natarajan: Are you sure do you have windows partition? [08:28] natarajan: what are the entries in ur grub menu? [08:28] oh man like I said newest ubuntu totally messed with standard grub way of doing things [08:29] retry: yea [08:29] normal way you just add the entry to menu.1st in /boot/grub/ [08:29] natarajan: use this command to check , the windows partition, sudo fdisk -l [08:29] I have not really tooled around with 2009.10 much yet so I can't help [08:29] i guess one cant edit menu.lst [08:29] so basically whatever OS you install last, it is that bootloader that takes over. [08:29] papul: there is no menu.lst for grub2 by default (afaik) [08:30] llutz is right [08:30] :/ [08:30] they moved it into a series of template files and a script that puts it all together [08:30] llutz: so whats there? and i think i have grub 1.97 beta [08:30] sooo its not posible? [08:30] making it much harder to hand tweak [08:30] its listed like that in grub menu [08:30] retry, i dont get it. i'm using grub1 and it never fails...what ever happened to "if it aint broke, dont fix it"? [08:30] Screamo_Smurf, no it's gnu/linux -- anything is possible [08:30] papul: 1.97 == grub2 and i don't know how it works, i refuse to use it :) [08:31] arghh2d2, that adage is rarely obeyed in software [08:31] hello, how can i most simply get a media-key's / button's name ? [08:31] if it was, ruby on rails wouldn't exist [08:31] llutz: so i can really downgrade grub?? [08:31] papul: no idea, try it [08:31] freak__ what do you mean exaclty? [08:31] typically the idea is , if it ain't broke, let's reinvent the wheel and declare the old way obsolete and inferior [08:31] freak__: xev [08:31] llutz: arent u using 9.10? [08:32] papul: no [08:32] then create a lot of hype and marketing ploys and steal revenue streams [08:32] ubuntu sux [08:32] llutz: ok sticking with 9.04 [08:32] freak__ try System> preferences> keyboard shortcuts [08:32] Oops, natarajan exits from this channel [08:32] llutz: your words sound too technical for me, can u simplify n tell me [08:32] arghh2d2: yeah it sucks [08:32] 9.10 is good [08:32] i have some buttons that doesn't seem to react when i try setting them as keyboard shortcuts [08:32] papul, I didn't really enjoy 9.10 [08:32] 9.04 was magical [08:32] i enjoy netbook remix [08:32] 9.10 got uglier and more weird from standard deb way of doing things [08:33] so i wanted to get their name and set them manually in metacity [08:33] it is ugly i give you that [08:33] Explore1: administration of a network is technical thing, sorry you have to learn that [08:33] i bloody hate the login screen in 9.10 [08:33] 9.04 shipped with errors, after update its runs good [08:33] freak__ google is your friend? [08:33] it was [08:33] rumpsy, dude 9.10 didnt have sound for a ton of people [08:33] retry its possible to tweek it [08:33] 9.10s release was the buggiest in years [08:33] no bugs for me [08:33] llutz: i wil learn, can you tell me step by step? [08:34] Explore1: search the web for tutorials [08:34] there is nothing about this specific model Haier X211 except it's post from a store i bought it from.

[08:46] retry: I did do that but when it force mounted, it still didn't show anything. [08:46] retry: nope, ping or traceroute don't work. I get a fat 0 returns on ping to the router. At client, two installs can browse the network atm, and 1 can chat via googletalk, but none can get FF to connect anywhere. All systems worked fine until 30 minutes ago. (my local install was not active then, but worked fine the last time i used it) [08:46] how do i found it, terminal using !find showed nothing, this is not the newest live cd, I had this from before [08:47] wait one can connect to googletalk but not ping?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [08:51] with that link, i could not find anything which to get my files back [08:52] I can buy a router at walmart for like $50 and set it up in like ten minutes. Using ubuntu server I have to search all over the internet for guides and whatnot. [08:52] hey you think easybcd can edit the grub2??? [08:52] Back again :D [08:52] can anybody tell me the way to know that JRE installed in my PC or not...?

I disabled the GPS in windows xp , but my friend sais I should throw it away [08:54] I have an lvm that has gone missing after an upgrade to 9.10 [08:54] I been using it like mad [08:54] I've been Googling and searching (I found a search string that the Ubuntu forums times out on time after time) but nothing is coming up. [08:54] out of the box, ubuntu is not designed to be a gateway [08:54] look into a linux distro that is designed specifically for that if you want something easier [08:54] retry, what about after some initial updates? [08:54] hi, one question, i closed the menubar in xchat.. how can i get it back? =) [08:55] my ubuntu lets me create ad hoc , but thts not a real * gateway [08:55] mobius2 thats sorta illegal [08:55] found an aircard on the ground [08:55] xOn: rmb [08:55] mobius2, idk I'm just responding to jerico [08:55] well come on man obviously [08:55] Im trying to figure out whose it is [08:55] I've never had need to set up ubuntu to gateway [08:55] whats rmb? [08:55] right mouse button?

I own 2 businesses and I have 3 air cards... I dont need to steal a dang air card llloll and surely not a SPRINT one [08:56] retry: if tomato would support usb.... :( [08:56] asdf [08:56] thanks hateball i taught it was kill but ctrl c works 2 :p [08:56] how do i get timestamps in xchat? [08:56] kematzy, you still working ? [08:56] bleh tommorow Ubuntu Exam =/ [08:57] llutz, is that so? I dont network via usb [08:57] mobius2, either our trolling or doing something illegal... i suggest u stop :P [08:57] llutz, what about ddwrt?

[08:57] I used to use ddwrt, but switched to tomato for it's superior QoS [08:57] retry: it cannot, so i had to switch to dd-wrt on my asus-router. [08:57] Screamo_Smurf, Preferences/Interface/Text Box. It's down the bottom [08:57] airtonix, kinda late, hue? :D [08:57] I add :%S for seconds in the time stamps [08:58] lol [08:58] xOn, yes it seems so [08:58] llutz, aha figured...either way the open source firmwares totally pwn anything stock on consumer grade routers [08:58] retry: i liked tomato much more than dd-wrt, had it on my wrt54gl (sry for /OT) [08:58] gah [08:58] llutz, yup we are in agreement then [08:58] why is it military time :/ [08:58] can someone tell me, if there is an german ubuntu channel? [08:58] only americans call it military time [08:58] the rest of the world call it normal [08:58] well [08:58] oh im certain there is one... [08:58] retry: one system suddenly started working again. the system with GoogleTalk functioning can IM, can ping router, but can NOT find google.com or anything like it. It's all strange. I think I'll have go in to them and fix things. too difficult over the phone. :-) [08:58] im american.. [08:59] Screamo_Smurf, your point? also : offtopic [08:59] why is that off topic? [08:59] what is RSA key fingerprint? i removed everything in known_hosts and it works now [08:59] kematzy, can't you ssh to the machine that can connect out? [08:59] There's no big Ubuntu bug that just started up atm is there ??

[08:59] llutz: why tomato over dd-wrt? I am using dd-wrt and it has helped much [08:59] pinPoint: easier, clean, better Qos Setup [08:59] I've had problems using PPPoE on dd-wrt [08:59] !de [09:00] hä? [09:00] kematzy, seems odd...maybe routing table is messed up [09:00] retry: nope, I wish, but i can't do that atm. long story, [09:00] llutz: wireless bridging? [09:00] if I use eth1 for my internal traffic and I use a command like "iptables -A INPUT -i eth1 -j ACCEPT" will that work? [09:00] DD-WRT guy is kind of a bastard too [09:00] Hi, please, where i can found help on empathy (dev) ? [09:00] Or will that completely disable the firewall? [09:00] he tried to lock down some of the code even though it's all open source [09:01] retry: really? [09:01] I have 2 HDD, first I installed Windows 7 on second hdd, then I installed Ubuntu 9.10 on first, but after installation of Ubuntu it runs Windows7, no menu to select ubuntu [09:01] pinPoint, yes it was a small scandal in the open source router firmware world [09:01] pretty much all the other projects hate him [09:01] I got my router in one day, in a few hrs(2) I was up bridging my networks. [09:01] In what file do you change the MailDir back to the homeDirectory again? [09:01] what should i do, i have my windows vista pc as server and my printer install in it,but ubuntu did not see the vista [09:01] first time I had ever done it. [09:02] Parsi, sata or ide (if ide make sure ubuntu was infact on the master channel when installing) if sata, you need to double check your bios settings [09:02] pinPoint: retry: semi-commercial, some weird things left in open-firmwares (iptables-rules open for some sepcific ips) etc. [09:02] yo yo yo [09:02] retry: the user with the active GTalk a/c (via pidgin) said her system crashed just before with some strange error message (which she can't recite) and she lost a whole OO document she was working on. (it's a mixed Win / Ubuntu network, so maybe there's some Win thing going on in there. [09:02] i went from the usual wall outlet(ethernet) of 5.6Mbps to 17.6Mbps [09:02] nvm got it [09:02] retry: got to go in and see what's actually going on. thanks for your help though, [09:03] I cannot figure out why irc just drops off. [09:03] all over sudden IRC is so unstable when using bridging [09:03] airtonix: sata, first boot should be first hdd? [09:03] pinpoint: when it drops run: dmesg | tail it may give clues [09:03] kematzy, sounds like a shit storm of randomness...good luck [09:03] ActionParsnip: in my router? [09:04] pinpoint: no ont the ubuntu system [09:04] pinPoint, check your routing table you might be trying to gateway out two places at once [09:04] and losing packets [09:04] retry: yep, that's my luck normally ;-) [09:04] retry: its set to 192.168.1.1 [09:04] I have a harddisk installed in my laptop. It annoys me a bit that every time i turn on the computer I have to remount it by going to places->myHDD and put in a password. Is there any way I can automate this procedure so that the HD is autmatically mounted at startup? [09:04] pinPoint what is set to that? your NIC? [09:05] diverdude: add it in /etc/fstab [09:05] retry: im on win7 :) [09:05] oh thats your router [09:05] Parsi, typically in my limited knowledge of how that works is that ubuntu needs to be installed on the "master" drive when installing for grub to provide those extra entries in grub [09:05] its alternate manual [09:05] so why are you in here? [09:05] i was talking about the dd-wrt [09:05] :/ [09:05] pinpoint: win7 isn't supported here [09:05] so i poured some issues with my router [09:05] I kno [09:05] hi guys [09:05] oh [09:05] i was also addressing my res issue [09:05] What are the necessery required records in, so the ones you have to have in /etc/bind/zones/ the .db files? [09:06] so irc drops off and you think your router is flaking out? [09:06] you could always power cycle it [09:06] retry: actually yes [09:06] ActionParsnip, So what do i write in fstab file? [09:06] Any one have Backtrakc lesson ??? [09:06] also irc is fairly sensitive to sudden packet loss more so than say web browsing [09:06] !fstab | diverdude [09:06] retry: because when I was wired it used to be fine. [09:06] diverdude: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [09:06] I could go days. [09:06] so if your ISP is flaking on you that can be why [09:06] oh you have wifi issues? [09:06] hello, how can I disable usb mass storage per user, in 9.10? [09:06] even weeks [09:07] wifi is very likely culpable [09:07] its a wireless bridged network to wired. [09:07] ok well if the wireless signal is going on you that could be any number of causes of interference [09:07] microwave ovens, cell phones...poor line of site to router [09:07] too many other APs sharing your channel [09:07] the wrt54gl is receiving internet wirelessly from another box then it distributes to local comps via ethernet [09:08] do other computers lose signal? [09:08] i cannot tell, it seems toooo small to notice without running irc [09:08] pinpoint: is suggest you ask in #networking too [09:08] btw i meant cordless phones not cell phones [09:08] the other comps are either web servers, htpc, etc [09:08] chmode 755 video0 [09:08] No command 'chmode' found, did you mean: [09:08] Command 'chmod' from package 'coreutils' (main) [09:08] chmode: command not found [09:08] Explore1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:08] while my main is irc stuff [09:08] how can i change the mode? [09:08] pinPoint, maybe you should try hvaing them all stream video without any buffering? [09:08] pinPoint, just do some non stop pinging on every box [09:09] explore1: its chmod not chmode [09:09] and when you notice irc drop check the others for packet loss [09:09] if they all lost packets, you can probably fairly say it's the wifi [09:09] So nobody can help me with dual booting?

[09:10] because if all boxes are connecting to the ircd it could be the ircd that goes down [09:11] ActionParsnip lol nope [09:11] screamo_smurf: they are not different OSes. its just a different default DE [09:11] pinPoint, ok you've confused me [09:11] install script-fu in gimp? [09:11] already install both OSes with grub installed on ubuntu [09:11] ActionParsnip i know [09:11] I'd just ping 4.2.2.1 from the servers sharing the wifi LAN with your irc client [09:11] but i'd rather they be serperate [09:11] http://google.com/search?q=install+script-fu+in+gimp [09:12] screamo_smurf: i've heard people do it too. its not uncommon [09:12] but who?

[09:12] jerico yes you can [09:12] jerico you have to have a certain dashboard version [09:13] screamo_smurf: just install ubuntu to a partition smaller than your total dive space, then install kubuntu to the unpartitioned space [09:13] Screamo_Smurf Ah. I think it's too late for mine then. Unless I can downgrade version. [09:13] ActionParsnip, he's already done all that, he needs help with grub setup [09:13] say guys, I just restarted my GDM because something weird happened [09:13] see this : http://tinyurl.com/y9cay2r [09:13] jerico i dont think you can [09:13] screamo_smurf: you may need to edit grub a little to differentiate the options [09:13] one of his distros has no grub entry [09:13] ActionParsnip how to do that on 9.10 [09:14] ubuntu [09:14] !grub2 | screamo_smurf [09:14] screamo_smurf: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic.

[09:14] madcat1990, and before that? what did you do ? [09:14] Screamo_Smurf, did you install them on two partitions on same physical drive? [09:14] no [09:14] or two different phsyical drives? [09:14] madcat1990: wth is that desktop of yours? [09:14] to different hdds [09:14] do you want the ability to boot from either drive? [09:14] ActionParsnip, ok...does this look about right: UUID="1C66D87A66D855DC" /media/TrayData auto defaults 0 2 ? [09:15] because you'll have to setup grub on the second hard drive [09:15] @airtonix : I was watching How I met your mother and was on firefox browsing, I have compiz on moderate [09:15] what do you mean? [09:15] @pinPoint : Gnome, with docky [09:15] screamo_smurf: grub2 is the same in noth, you will need to edit the config files so that the ones pointing to one partition say ubuntu and the others say kubuntu [09:15] well each HDD has to have it's MBR setup with grub [09:15] so that if one disk fails you can still boot [09:15] madcat1990, so you didn't do anything like update video drivers without restarting ? [09:15] sorta like when you do raid [09:15] screamo_smurf: the fact they are on different pphysical drives is moot [09:15] anyway then you need to do two grub entries [09:15] madcat1990 that happens to me all the time when im running wine [09:15] @airtonix : last update I did to them was when I installed ubuntu, since then, this happens randomly, after a while without restarting [09:16] madcat1990, also at this point it would be useful if you mention the make and model of video card you are using within your initial help request [09:16] retry i think i wanna go with that [09:16] i mean you can surely just boot off one disk to either distro [09:16] @Screamo_smurf : Is it a bug with wine then? [09:16] but if that disk fails you can't get to either distro [09:16] idk [09:16] screamo_smurf: read the config files. the ones pointing to the ubuntu partition will need editting to say ubuntu. the grub2 docs will tell you whats what [09:16] hey i need help with dual booting win xp with hardy [09:17] @airtonix : I'm using an nVidia 9300M GS on a laptop using a SIS chipset, hope that helps, I'm also using ubuntu 9.10 X86 with kernel 2.6.31-17-generic (According to uname -r ) [09:17] retry: its easy to install grub from livecd so disk failure wont spoil things for too long [09:17] they are on 2 seperate drives [09:17] yeah that's true enough [09:17] How does vmail know what user has to use Vmail instead of homedirectory? [09:17] madcat1990, (but i had something similar happen when i messed with the /usr/bin/compiz script file...) maybe you would benefit from installing compizconfig-settings-manager and fusion-icon (they both provide fine tunining of various aspects of compiz) [09:17] @airtonix : This never happened on windows though, so that rules out defective card [09:17] hello [09:18] madcat1990, but it doesn't rule out your particular card and the drivers in combination with compiz [09:18] !dualboot | robert 1985 [09:18] robert 1985: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [09:18] thanks [09:18] hi there [09:18] madcat1990, also how your card performs on windows has nothing to do with the scenario. since you are not using windows drivers for the card. [09:18] @airtonix : The compiz settings I'm using are moderate, in other words, in the appearence, I selected the middle option [09:18] My Gnome unstopped Nautilus . [09:19] @airtonix : I know, I was just saying that to rule out the card being defective [09:19] what should i do, i have my windows vista pc as server and my printer install in it,but ubuntu did not see the vista [09:19] what should i do, i have my windows vista pc as server and my printer install in it,but ubuntu did not see the vista [09:19] what should i do, i have my windows vista pc as server and my printer install in it,but ubuntu did not see the vista [09:19] what should i do, i have my windows vista pc as server and my printer install in it,but ubuntu did not see the vista [09:19] grace: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:19] how can i delete linux and reinstall xp [09:19] grace: stop repeating [09:19] zzzxzzz: run the windows install cd [09:19] why don't I get sound throu hdmi now that I installed ati open driver? [09:19] i am currently booted into a recovery mode root shell on another computer and need to set a user up with sudo access. I can mount the / partition, can I just edit the sudoers file? I do not think visudo will work because it will not be editing the sudoers file which i have mounted under /mnt/etc/ ? Is this right?? [09:19] madcat1990, i understand, try installing the two pieces of software i described : sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager fusion-icon [09:19] My Gnome unstopped open Nautilus window. [09:19] what should i do, i have my windows vista pc as server and my printer install in it,but ubuntu did not see the vista [09:19] grace: stop repeating! [09:19] zzzxzzz: delete the partitions as part of the windows install. the guys in ##windows will advise [09:19] grace: that's the first thing you do [09:19] @airtonix : ok, hang on [09:20] grace: doing that makes people want to help you LESs, not more [09:20] @airtonix : Done, now what? :O [09:20] madcat1990, if this screenshot you provided is something that has been happening since day one of your install then my assumption at this point would be to try fiddling with fusion-icons texture options in the tray menu [09:21] now , it has auto opened over 50 Nautilus window . [09:21] grace, you need to setup samba [09:21] How can I set my Ubuntu server 9.10 to automatically mount /dev/sdb1 to /srv/samba/share at boot time? [09:21] Actionman i tried 10 times and no succes [09:21] !fstab | avisheck [09:21] avisheck: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [09:21] avishek, look into /etc/mtab [09:22] oh yeah fstab [09:22] retry: what is the difference between /etc/mtab and /etc/fstab? [09:22] @airtonix : can you explain where this fusion icons texture? [09:23] ActionParsnip: thank you [09:23] fstab is the config [09:23] mtab is the current status [09:23] madcat1990, you have run fusion-icon yet ? (it should appear as a green cube in your system tray when you do) [09:23] there used to be inittab too [09:24] but that's become deprecated by upstart [09:24] Whoa! composition is gone [09:24] retry: so tomato > ddwrt? [09:24] i think so [09:24] madcat1990, you can turn it on again through the fusion-icon tray item [09:24] My Gnome unstoppable open Nautilus window. [09:24] does tomato allow wireless bridging? [09:24] llutz says tomato cant network over usb though [09:24] retry: is there something special to note for mounting external hard drives? [09:24] pinPoint, not sure...probably though [09:25] avishek, what do you mean by special? [09:25] retry: not network over usb,, access usb-storage/printers etc no usb-support at all [09:25] moin [09:25] its just dd-wrt was so easy to setup and quick... why fix it if its not broke? :) [09:25] oh [09:25] tomato is just as easy [09:25] Wait. I can hook up usb-storage to my dd-wrt? [09:25] openwrt [09:25] kraut: moin [09:25] My Gnome unstoppable open Nautilus window. [09:25] i mainly upgraded when ddwrt qos totally failed [09:25] i mean basically qos in ddwrt doesnt work === gdb_ is now known as gdb [09:26] or didn't [09:26] retry: the community doc says that fstab is for mounting internal devices such as CDROMs. Perhaps I am misunderstanding? [09:26] jerico: if your router has usb, yes [09:26] pinPoint: what do you define as wireless bridging? [09:26] avishek, fstab is for delegating all your automatic mount points [09:26] different stuff requires different params [09:26] ActionParsnip, ok...does this look about right: UUID="1C66D87A66D855DC" /media/TrayData auto defaults 0 2 ? [09:26] I have a main router somewhere away from my bedroom. [09:26] @airtonix : I did, now what? =/ [09:26] llutz: do you know if I can do that with the micro version of dd-wrt? The full version doesn't fit on my router. [09:26] retry: thank you for your help and patience. Will look it up [09:27] good man, avishek [09:27] jerico: sorry no, i use mega, it has full support [09:27] so I used ddwrt on wrt54gl to have it connect to the main router and then share its connection to computers via ethernet [09:27] no as, i dont knw [09:27] madcat1990, have you looked through the tray icon menu? i suggested that you play around changing the texturing options there [09:28] madcat1990, if that doesn't work, you might want to think about installing the binary drivers from nvidia [09:28] @Airtonix : like Loose Binding and Indirect Rendering [09:28] pinPoint: wifi-client mode it is? [09:28] madcat1990, yes those were the items i was thinking of [09:28] pinPoint, which of the routers is handling dhcp? [09:28] i believe so [09:28] @airtonix : I activated both [09:28] my main FIOS router. [09:28] k [09:29] retry: but whats funny is my desktop has to be on manual ip addy [09:29] while my ubuntu/xbox360 are automagic... what gives? [09:29] are they all connected via the wifi router? [09:29] madcat1990, you can use the tray icon to switch from compiz to metacity and back again (try that to restart compiz without logging out)... next step would be to fire up compizconfig-settings-manager to check out some of the 'workaround' settings down the bottom [09:29] they are all connected to the 54gl via ethernet, that router then wirelessly connects to main router. [09:30] OH the wireless is between your fios router and your ddwrt router? [09:30] how to set the DISPLAY? [09:30] Hi. Can you help me solving these messages in syslog after upgrade to karmic: /var/log/syslog.0: Error stating file '/var/log/syslog.0': No such file or directory [09:30] see me? [09:30] retry: ya [09:30] @airtonix : I actually already did, I activated all of them except the fglrx one (because I think its for ATI) [09:31] anyone else have trouble with flash. [09:31] madcat1990, correct. also (if you are feeling game you can install the very latest nvidia drivers via their new ppa : info here >> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-nvidia-graphics-drivers-195-22-in-ubuntu-karmicjauntyintrepidhardy.html ) [09:31] pinPoint, what are your IP assigments of your two routers? [09:31] demongt, always [09:31] in general I have trouble with adobe's existence in general [09:31] main is 192.168.1.1, wrt54gl is 192.168.1.24 [09:31] lol retry [09:32] @airtonix : ok, but do you think I'd get higher framerates with that? Because with glxgears I get higher framerates with the ubuntu précompiled drivers [09:32] madcat1990, i have a geforce 8800 gts and so far im not having any problems with those beta drivers. (might not be the case for you since you card is different from mine) [09:32] got a small prob with firefox under karmic trying to view http://www.aetv.com/intervention/video/index.jsp?bcpid=1452232410&bclid=1453556960&bctid=14883418001 [09:32] soo how do i add an entry to /etc/default/grub [09:32] i had been using facebook for some time with no trouble now when i do those flash games i get a file crashing [09:32] i have flash 10 installed and java updates [09:32] @airtonix : Since mine is a 8400M GS renamed to 9300 <<.... might not have problems [09:32] anyone know of a way to google something about linux without getting a bunch of unsolved forum postings. [09:32] Screamo_Smurf, is that where that exists now? [09:32] yes [09:33] retry: http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Image:Standard_bridge_large.jpg [09:33] Screamo_Smurf, you dont have /boot on separate partitions do you? [09:33] now i need to add kubuntu to it [09:33] madcat1990, you can only try i guess. but yo ualso have the option of installing the release level binary drivers (which is at version 190.5) [09:33] zamba: http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Image:Standard_bridge_large.jpg [09:33] :/ [09:33] @airtonix : Ok, if it happens again, I'll use the beta drivers. [09:34] export DISPLAY:0 [09:34] bash: export: `DISPLAY:0': not a valid identifier [09:34] madcat1990, remember these are only suggestions... i am correct that you are using the nvidia drivers from offical ubuntu repo ? [09:34] wht is wrong in this? [09:34] @airtonix : Yes, the latest version, according to the restricted driver manager [09:34] Explore1, try this maybe : export DISPLAY = ":0" [09:34] retry yes [09:35] even tho i told it not to install grub when i instsalled kubuntu [09:35] export DISPLAY = ":0" bash: export: `=': not a valid identifier bash: export: `:0': not a valid identifier [09:35] madcat1990, before you try the binary drivers from nvidia first uninstall the ubuntu nvidia drivers you have there [09:35] I installed some crazy nvidia reversed drivers... [09:35] Explore1, sorry no spaces between the "=" : export DISPLAY=":0" [09:35] @airtonix : through the restricted driver manager? [09:36] I was just shocked that there was no nvidia support natively. :/ [09:36] madcat1990, i imagine (it's been a long time since i;ve used that thing) [09:36] Screamo_Smurf, you probably have grub setup correctly for each hard drive already [09:36] so you could mount the second distros drive, and just copy the grub conf over [09:36] when i trun my pc on it boots right into ubuntu [09:36] airtonix : hehe, I actually like ubuntu's simplifications [09:37] why are there so many people in here, whats so good about ubuntu please explain to me [09:37] Screamo_Smurf, right because the BIOS is booting off your first drive [09:37] madcat1990, yes and the ppa that nvidia provide now is a good change [09:37] Screamo_Smurf, just out of curiosity you should switch drive boot order in bios and see if kubu boots up [09:37] @airtonix : I'm going to bookmark that link of yours, thanks for the help :) [09:37] Has anyone else had this problem? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1386791 [09:37] if it does, I am sure you can just cross copy the grub confs [09:37] retry ugh...... [09:38] or you can just mount the second drive and browse for the grub conf for kubuntu [09:38] i did [09:38] and glean what you need from there [09:38] but [09:38] or did it not install grub? [09:38] i told it not to [09:38] right ok [09:38] but i think it did [09:38] well you should be able to confirm pretty easily [09:38] @airtonix : By the way, any good tutorials you can link me to about bridging connections? [09:39] go to /etc/grub in your second disk after you mount it [09:39] /second/disk/mount/point/etc/grub [09:39] if that exists [09:39] you should have a usable grub conf you can copy the boot lines from [09:39] i only have /etc/grub.d [09:40] i'm gonna change some IPs so I might go silent while I disconnect but my screen will remain. [09:40] Screamo_Smurf, is it empty? [09:40] no [09:41] Screamo_Smurf, see this is the newfangled grub that I am not familiar with [09:41] 7 files in there [09:41] Hmm, is it possible to temporarily set a read-only flag on a directory? [09:41] (I'm in the process of moving /home from one disk to another, but /home is currently not on a separate partition) [09:41] what do I use ubuntu for? [09:41] if you just had a nice simple /boot/grub/menu.lst this would be a lot simpler [09:41] bonjour . ou est le canal francais ?

[11:50] Screamo_Smurf, do this while you're still online apt-get -s instlal libuniconf4.6 [11:50] how am i suposed to find out lmao [11:50] Screamo_Smurf, do this while you're still online apt-get -s install libuniconf4.6 [11:50] retry, in the example he did not use sudo [11:51] livingdaylight, try it anyway [11:51] it should be already installed on here [11:51] if something running as root is culpable, you wont see it otherwise [11:51] hey there, i've got ubuntu 9.10 on a fujitsu lifebook - the webcam works, but its images are upside down - any ideas?

I think mine does not work well, since it always shows the cpu temperture to be super-high, like 90° even if im not running many processes itz always super-high and it continuosly warn me about it, itz annoying... anyone experienced a similar issue and solved it? maybe itz about settings [11:52] retry, would you look at this for me please? http://pastebin.com/m3479d3f3 [11:52] actually dude there's an easier way [11:52] apt-cache can tell you any packages deps [11:53] you're using chrome browser?

[11:53] hi all :p [11:53] you know you might try firefox instead of chrome and see if the sound issue goes away [11:53] retry, Tweetdeck is client for twitter [11:53] how do i use apt-cache? [11:53] because chrome is immature on windows and even more so on linux [11:53] chrome sucks [11:54] Screamo_Smurf type apt-cache [11:54] chrome fails for me on ubuntu and no adblock plus [11:54] Screamo_Smurf, i find it is very fast and light [11:54] it should output cmd options [11:54] yeah no noscript or adblock+ sucks [11:54] zoran_the_great, i believe it has a built in adblocker - ive not had issues with ads anyhow [11:54] I will not surf the www without noscript anymore [11:54] i have run into so many probs with chrome [11:54] what's noscript? [11:54] on windows it messes up the GUI === Mohammad is now known as Guest77172 [11:55] noscript is a whitelisting tool for js/plugins [11:55] hmm it still gave me some annoying ads, but maybe i did something wrong, if it had adblock plus and some other plugins i'd totally switch to chrome [11:55] by default every website is blocked [11:55] and you just whitelist what you want [11:55] problem is FF loves CPU gets my laptop HOT [11:55] i use opera [11:55] tis' great because 3rd party sites are separate so you can whitelist the site nad keep the ad servers and other logging crap blocked [11:56] i just installed the latest opera [11:56] retry im not understanding it [11:56] Screamo_Smurf, opera is kewl but not all flash based stuff seems to work well in it [11:56] how can i make right click paste like the middle click in the terminal in gnome?

[12:51] I'm not able to set the resolution I want. I don't see a xorg.conf anywhere either to set it in that manually [12:51] robogenus: haven't ran snort in a while why???? [12:51] triple_xxx: You bet, CLI is very powerful. [12:51] just wondering triple_XXX [12:52] I like snort...it does a good job [12:52] can I somehow make apt-get or aptitude reinstall all packages that blender depends on?

[12:52] usr13: that is why love cli [12:52] @neohashi [12:52] use dpkg neo!! [12:52] robogenus: I think snort runs ok on most any distro. [12:53] hello, can anyone help me using tlmgr in texlive2009? [12:53] robogenus: I can be a pain to set up snort.... It took me about a month to figureout how to use snort right [12:53] I checked again, and while Compiz still seems to be activated, none of the effects seems to work (as far as I can tell). [12:53] ok .. looking into it robogenus [12:54] Still not figured out why suspend to RAM doesn't work - worked yesterday. :/ [12:55] All I've done in that time is installed Miro yesterday evening. [12:55] Puring it and it's dependencies hasn't helped any, though. [12:55] Wow scanned all 232 gigs and not one bad sector :) Man must have a bad copy of Sabayon 5.0 ;( or it doesn't like my hardware... well at least I don't have to buy a new hard drive.. :) [12:56] I have a problem. sometimes (randomly) brasero just hangs trying to burn, but when I reboot, it does. any ideas?

[12:57] Horde was working Until I logged out, now I can't log in I keep getting this error : Could not search the LDAP server. [12:57] it will be available today [12:57] why pre? [12:57] wait until night [12:58] it's aviable already - ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.6/linux-i686/en-US/firefox-3.6.tar.bz2 [12:58] I was thinking the final was due out some time today. but i doubt if its going to change that drasticaly any time soon [12:58] Mrokii give me pls your mozilla reps [12:58] i want to change boot order for GRUB [12:58] ob3r0n: im using it from some PPA repos. i found that tar.bz2 version dident see the plugins and stuff [12:59] what is PPA repos?

[13:00] what is ureadahead and why is something mounted on /var/lib/ureadahead/debugfs? [13:00] ob3r0n: the ones i found by googleing for 'firefox 3.6 ubuntu 9.10 repo' :) [13:00] Has there been any changes to the ubuntu + intel graphics issues that where introduced in 9.04/9.10 ? [13:00] http://www.webupd8.org/2009/10/install-firefox-36-beta1pre-in-ubuntu.html [13:00] sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa [13:00] where is xorg.conf? I can't find it [13:00] riegersn: if you found a solution, notice me too! [13:00] rtfm: if one exists its in /etc/X11/ [13:01] rtfm: You don't get one anymore unless you create one yourself:( [13:01] rtfm: thers no need for one to exist for some systems [13:01] Parsi, i havn't thats why im asking lol [13:01] erm [13:01] ob3r0n: Yep, mozilla-daily is right (as Dr_Willis suggested). But you should be aware that often the versions (at least for me) aren't as stable as the one that came with Karmic. [13:01] riegersn: oh! mine freezes with compis enabled [13:01] rtfm: it's another 'improvement' from the xorg team [13:01] ob3r0n: Quite often I had crashes (which may also be a problem of unstable-extensions, though). [13:01] strange rep =) hm.. how long for canonical will add it in karmic? [13:01] FF 3.6 final -> but i found the ppa wiorked better -0---> http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/products/download.html?product=firefox-3.6&os=linux&lang=en-US === holger is now known as adac [13:02] Parsi, i can only use default drivers and unable to enable compiz [13:02] subsu: Improvement? My desktop resolution is low and a higher one is not available.. and there's no xorg.conf to set it manually [13:02] rtfm: and whats your video card? [13:02] Dr_Willis: Intel onboard [13:02] Dr_Willis: I have upto 1280x1024 in windows [13:03] Anybody have idea, where exactly are the brasero tmp .bin files saved? I have to clean up to make space. [13:03] riegersn: compiz works in 9.04 and older versions, but not in 9.10 [13:03] rtfm: check teh intel wiki/docs/forum threads - you may need to tweak somthing [13:03] Hey everyone. My computer (ubuntu 9.10 64bit w/ 2 drives in raid1) was hanging so I gave it a reboot. After grub, the computer boots to busybox / initramfs. The top of the screen says "mount: mounting /dev/disk/by-uuid/bunch-of-characters on /root failed: invalied argument. [13:03] rtfm: that's why I use the "'", generate one with Xorg -configure [13:03] I have tried to repair grub that that apparently did not do the trick. [13:03] I have also tried booting to the second drive in the raid and I get the same behavior. [13:03] rtfm: and move it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf as usual. [13:03] i gotta say ubuntu is working beautifully now, i tried 8.04 the last time and i had a lot of problems, but now... everything is working so smoothly, and i'm even running x64 o.O i'm even throwing out windows 7, but i was wondering how i would dual boot them? should i just install w7 first, and then ubuntu? is it that easy? [13:03] subsu: okay [13:04] I'll try that, brb. [13:04] what's the text edititor with the colors again that works like vi? [13:04] Dr_Willis: thanks for that way to update repositories... I didn't know you could do that through command line going to have to read man page on add-apt [13:04] Parsi, riegersn: Compiz has worked fine in Ubuntu 9.10 for me, until today (It seems as if it got deactivated somehow, I am currently investigating why and how I can re-enable it). [13:04] where exactly are the brasero tmp .bin files saved? [13:04] all of a sudden my tilde stopped working on all programs, as well as my alt-tab. alt-escape, ctrl-tab, others seem to work. [13:04] hello, can anyone help me using tlmgr in texlive2009? [13:04] triple_xxx: yep - new command in 9.10 - whats sad is many people/sites/ppa docs dont mention the command. [13:05] hi [13:05] anybody der [13:05] ? [13:05] Dr_Willis: will that work in Debian???? [13:05] Mrokii, i had to switch my laptop to windows 7 - its my work laptop and i need to be able to run some apps that broke with the intel problems in 9.10 [13:05] help my alt-tab and tilde are broken all of a sudden :( [13:06] triple_xxx: no idea. [13:06] Mrokii: yes, but it does not play nice with Intel graphics [13:07] I deleted a file in /tmp the file had about 3gigs. But afterwards no space had been freed. Wondering why this is so? [13:07] Parsi: I see. I have an nvidia-graphicscard. [13:07] Setting up a Dell Mini for somebody who wants Ubuntu. Any clue why the brightness and other fn keys override any shortcuts? [13:07] Dr_Willis: going to have to test this out well got to run and play with Archliux thanks for the help Dr_Willis ;) [13:07] As if there were a FN lock [13:07] should there be a pc speaker device in /dev/snd? [13:08] Any ideas? Or what can I do to give enough info to get some help? [13:08] lopan, you probably edited the grub file [13:08] lopan, and left some junk character somewhere [13:08] Dr_Willis: Want to get my boot times down to 15 seconds seen it on a youtube video still not sure about there repositories they have a bit trouble well got to play [13:09] indus: If that is the case, should the grub-install that I did have fixed that? === McPeter_ is now known as McPeter [13:10] lopan, not really sure [13:10] lopan, but maybe [13:11] help my alt-tab and tilde are broken all of a sudden :( [13:11] lopan, this new grub is messy [13:11] indus: It sure is [13:11] i can't tilde and when i press alt-tab it does nothing [13:12] i can still do the accent without shift ` === Bwaah|Sleep is now known as Bwaah [13:14] indus: So I should check the command that grub is using to boot for any invalid arguments / characters? [13:15] i just bought a terratec dvb remote control with an ir transmitter, running ubuntu 9.10 and just installed lirc, but cant get it to recognize it, ideas? [13:15] lopan, you dont see any grub ?\ [13:15] lopan, do you see any grub menu [13:15] indus: I do see the grub menu. [13:17] anybody know how i can remove packages than i do not use about 2 month or more? [13:17] Has anyone here any experience with Enemy Territory [the game] on ubuntu? [13:18] i mean programms that i dont use [13:18] !games [13:18] Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [13:18] ob3r0n: never really seen a feature that keeps track of how much things are used. [13:18] Hi, is there any rules that would apply to get the max bandwidith out of Transmission bittorent ? [13:18] when I try to access my samba share from windows it asks me for a password... wth? [13:19] dr_willis what you mean? [13:19] noXandOs: set the users samba password with 'sudo smbpasswd -a username' [13:19] ob3r0n: ive never seen that feature.. not sure it exists at all [13:19] ok [13:20] ob3r0n: and undder windows I recall that feature being totally WRONG most of the time anyway :) [13:20] hi, I have updated Firebug recently and now when I click on the Firebug icon it kills Firefox [13:20] Well, the thing is, Dr_Willis, I tried all the things they mentioned in the threads regarding sound, but none worked. [13:20] Well, one this worked [13:20] lopan, ok the address in grub menu is to be checked then,i mean the kernel [13:20] But only once. [13:20] nefast: yep. its an old game.. and sound can be an issue,. [13:20] sudo smbpassword -a username? umm [13:20] i am confused [13:20] The sound worked perfectly in 9.04, iirc, though [13:20] noXandOs: yes. that gives the user a samba password. [13:21] grub.cfg confused me! I want to change default choose [13:21] Or you could set up the shared to be accessabel by a guest/anyone I imagine [13:21] http://pastebin.com/d7319e64d is my first grub line for 2.6.31-17-generic kernel [13:21] ok so cany suer can use that pw? [13:21] any* [13:21] noXandOs: no.. its for that one user [13:21] parsi, make all changes under etc/grub/custom... not grub.cfg [13:21] Theres MUCH more to samba then what people notice. the right click, share a directory. is a relatively new feature to gnome [13:22] i did it like that but [13:22] It is weird because after I tell grub to boot, the ubuntu image comes up like ubuntu is booting, then it goes to the busybox [13:22] noXandOs: at one time it was commionplace to share the whole /home/username structure. [13:22] is there a ubuntu server channel? [13:22] i am not understanding this user stuff [13:22] jiohdi: is there any GUI tool to change default choose? [13:22] infidel, #ubuntu-server [13:22] help my alt-tab and tilde are broken all of a sudden :(. i also can't use shift key + a, shift + x, i can't tilde (but i can press regular accent `) and when i press alt-tab it does nothing [13:22] noXandOs: each user has a password.. and each user CAN have a samba password also.. the 2 are not the same [13:22] ok that is it why in the heck cant i type fast. everytime try to type fast on e terminal or elsewheeit looks like tis ! [13:22] it misd keys [13:22] wth [13:22] how do x this crud! [13:22] parsi, not yet that I know of... but there is a very good tutorial on youtube that walks you through changing grub2 [13:23] its makinge mad. [13:23] i will stchwear i wil [13:23] petsounds, thanks [13:23] bbelt16ag: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:23] ok but how does it know which user i am setting the pw.. i never made a user on windows 7 :/ [13:23] i dunno i am lost [13:23] sigh [13:23] noXandOs: you set the LINUX users samba password on the linux box. [13:23] bbelt16ag are you using a laptop ? if so which make and model ? [13:23] noXandOs: this has nothing to do with windows's passwords.. you could make them all the same so its easier to rember [13:24] no [13:24] its a custom bild. [13:24] build [13:24] ok [13:24] my keboardis fin. [13:24] its ubuntu [13:24] desktop [13:24] noXandOs: i normally give the linux users and window user the same username and password on my home lans. makes it easier [13:24] parsi, you can update grub.cfg however if you have any program that changes anything in grub it will be overwritten... that is why you have to use etc/grub/custom files and then grub-update [13:26] ok maybe i am just not understand the command you gave me [13:26] jiohdi: really it made me crazy, can you help with this? [13:26] is that just setting a pw [13:26] parsi, what is the problem? [13:26] noXandOs: it gives the Linux user a SAMBA specific password. to allow them to connect to samba shares on the linux box. [13:26] guhhhhh [13:26] how do i fix this [13:26] jiohdi: changing default choose to windows instead of ubuntu === iflema is now known as tremmons [13:26] please help. my alt-tab and tilde are broken all of a sudden :(. i also can't use shift key + a, shift + x, i can't tilde (but i can press regular accent `) and when i press alt-tab it does nothing [13:27] Syslog error how to fixx this : http://pastebin.org/79704 [13:30] where is everyone?

[13:47] jiohdi: gwenview/tools/configure gwenview does not contain what I need to disable it as the default file browser. [13:47] jackTIM, so when you open a file from the main menu, gwenview opens instead of nautilus? [13:47] Yes. [13:47] JackTIM: what happens when you try opening nautilus from a terminal? [13:48] Nautilus runs fine from links and terminal and I have setup launchers temporarily to open those folders with nautilus. However I would like to use the places menu again. [13:49] For instance the File Browser link in the main menu/system tools still opens nautilus. Just the places menu and direct links to files and folders open in gwenview.

Logging in and running startx kinda works. [14:47] kanzie: When you're configuring ufw (interface on top of IPTABLES) you first need to drop everything. Then allowing one drop. otherwise you need to stream iptables rules in to it [14:47] jrib: don't get me wrong, I'm quite happy to use different stuff and don't even like itunes but It's getting to the point where its gunna be simplest to just give him what he wants [14:48] wow [14:48] kanzie: in that case, you could try configserver firewall (csf). It's got support for testing mode and will flush out after a predefined period of time. [14:48] SPLIT!!!!!!!! [14:48] P67: so its not possible to lock everything but ssh from ssh in ufw? [14:49] by manually making rules, yes. [14:49] sudo ufw allow proto tcp from 192.168.0.2 to any port 22 [14:49] Threetimes: maybe you have to reinstall the fglrx drivers ? [14:49] or just simply using ufw allow 22 [14:50] ola [14:50] is I install ubuntu as a persistent liveusb and I allready have a partition labeled casper-rw, will ubuntu use that one for persistence [14:50] ? [14:50] Just remember that ufw is an interface on top of IPTABLES. using that will serve you better and will allow you to drop all entries except 22 by manually adding it. [14:51] is the split over yet?? [14:51] Though, when using iptables/ufw. you need to drop everything first before allowing a port. hence i said that it's best to do it locally [14:52] Hi, X/gdm won't start after a kernel update yesterday.

[14:55] SomeRandomDude: i dunno where in kubuntu you look for it [14:55] Help on broadband connection [14:55] kanzie: No it's not. if you didn't preconfigure the firewall every port possible will probably be open. I'm merely trying to help you. if you wish to throw the firewall ports shut, IPtables functions as to block everything first. Then manually allowing a port. OR streaming the portlists in to IPtables using a bash script [14:55] !adsl | Vishal__ [14:55] i dont either lol been usin ubuntu for awhile.. saw kubunut and dual booted it [14:55] !pm [14:56] SomeRandomDude, have u got the extras installed in ubuntu?

[15:09] P67: I'll just re-run the installer, maybe it has an uninstall or repair option like most windows installers :D [15:10] hello all [15:10] kishore: maybe better to use freepascal/lazarus [15:10] !find freepascal [15:10] riktking: yes. I had partitions done. And I choose XP partition to be overwritten with Ubuntu. [15:10] ircuser, can you see the win 7 partition in ubuntu [15:11] erUSUL, how to get that [15:11] Yay! download kubuntu restricted extras :) [15:11] im interesting installing a package without having to manually build from source. im on karmic. do you think upgrading the following packages from lucid would cause problems/instability?: libc6, libcurl3, libgcc1, libncursesw5, libsigc++-2.0-0c2a, libssl0.9.8, libstdc++6, libtorrent11, libxmlrpc-c3, libxmlrpc-core-c3 [15:11] *downloading [15:11] anyone here into audio, like making music?

[15:12] SomeRandomDude: those are the dependencies [15:12] of/off [15:12] sudo apt-get install rtorrent [15:12] maybe [15:12] File freepascal found in lazarus-src [15:12] i need to know what DAW programs work with wine? [15:12] SomeRandomDude: i want the version from lucid instead of karmic (what im on) but the dependencies arent fulfilled by karmic... [15:13] what dependencies?

[15:13] Guthur: rerun sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash [15:13] no0n google all of the seperatly for lucid [15:14] you should be able to download the debs for them [15:14] kishore: forget that [15:14] kishore: lazarus is in the repositories already no need to add anything [15:14] !appdb | anon__ [15:14] anon__: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [15:14] SomeRandomDude: i have my preferences file setup but im worried upgrading them could possibly have adverse effects on the rest of my system [15:14] !info lazarus | kishore [15:14] kishore: lazarus (source: lazarus): IDE for Free Pascal to create (graphical and console) applications.

Can I reinstall and when configuring partitions manually keep the existing /home or do I need to make a new /home and mount the "old /home" after booting? [15:19] hello francesco_ [15:19] erUSUL, is tat equivalent to turbo pascal [15:19] i want to learn terminal so i can compile....it is just a slow process === Chousuke_ is now known as Chousuke [15:19] OiPenguin_IK: you can do both [15:19] In windows I was used to closing windows without seeing the X button, by just dragging the mouse and clicking at the top right. Id doesn't work so here in ubuntu. Tried a lot of themes, any workaround to this? [15:19] kishore: should be [15:19] P67: I reinstalled the drivers, but it didn't help.

[15:21] kishore: lazarus is a graphical ide so everything should be pretty obvious [15:21] erUSUL: Keeping the old seems the easiest solution. Will it work without any problems or do I need to do "something". Apart from reinstall programs, of course. [15:21] tolpico what exactly do you mean?* [15:22] !clone | OiPenguin_IK [15:22] OiPenguin_IK: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [15:22] erUSUL, thank you... [15:22] SomeRandomDude, I mean, in windows one doesn't need to give much attention on moving the mouse exactly over the X button, we can just carelessly drag to the extreme top right and click it. But in ubuntu clicking at extreme top right doesnt close window [15:22] Hey guys - How do I recover my lost password for identity on the freenode irc? [15:22] OiPenguin_IK: do something to achieve what? [15:22] knxville, get dnydns setup [15:22] nwillems: ask in #freenode [15:22] tolpico: thats becasue of that bar up there^^ [15:23] erUSUL: thx [15:23] riktking: does it work fine with ubuntu? [15:23] SomeRandomDude, no, i have that bar removed, even then [15:23] hmmm [15:23] idk im on kubuntu :D [15:23] SomeRandomDude, it works that way in kubuntu? [15:23] knxville, yeah i have my server at home on a dsl connection and can log straight it with SSH/sshfs. its relativly simple to setup i think there is a package some where. [15:24] erUSUL. A /home working as it should with the reinstalled system [15:24] knxville, have u used ssh before? [15:24] Hi, X/gdm won't start after a kernel update yesterday. I use fglrx 9.12, the card is a Mobility Radeon HD4570. Logging in and manually running startx works. [15:24] ubottu: Cheers [15:24] riktking; yes, i've used ssh.. but it's for GUI remote desktop to my gf, so when she's at school, having problems with ubuntu, i can assist her. [15:25] tolpico: yep i just tried and it does work [15:25] hi, my mimeconfig ist damaged or some kind of buggy, for example when i try to open this link directly within firefox, an error occurs which says that gdebi cant be found but other links to deb files work great with gdebi, how can i fix this or how can i reset my mime-type configuration [15:25] http://pidgin-facebookchat.googlecode.com/files/pidgin-facebookchat-1.64.deb [15:25] OiPenguin_IK: if you make a new home just copy the files over when you are done (or move home to the old /home partition when you are done) [15:25] knxville, u need to port forward port 5900 for the VNC. its VERRRRYYYY slow unless you have a very good internet connection [15:26] knxville, u then log in to ur localhost:5900 on ur vnc and you can see the other desktop [15:26] i like teamveiwer :((( [15:26] riktking, Alright, well, when i'm using teamviewer from windows -> windows, it's pretty fast. [15:26] knxville, ok i assume thats a form of VNC [15:26] erUSUL: I prefer to keep the old /home which from how I undestood you is not a problem? [15:26] knxville i got teamveiwer to open with wine.. but i didnt test it [15:26] SomeRandomDude, Well, then I think I will just move on to it, because I am extremely frustrated about this, So to upgrade to kubuntu I just get it from synaptic and let it download everything right? Thanks [15:26] riktking, i'll try it.. [15:26] wellll [15:27] knxville, u used port forwarding before? she wil have to set up the other end [15:27] SomeRandomDude, yeah okay, thats a neat solution aswell.. === abc is now known as Guest76530 [15:27] tolpico you could sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [15:27] riktking, yeah.. i have.. i'll figure it out.. it got her laptop by my side atm.. so I can fix it. [15:27] but i dont know you should research it first [15:27] OiPenguin_IK: so you want to tell the installer to use your old home as the new home? === tPl0ch_ is now known as tPl0ch [15:28] knxville, recommend you open port 80 for ssh then you can always connect especially as she will be behind securtiy being at school [15:28] erUSUL. Indeed. And that's not a problem, right? [15:28] knxville, so set her ssh server to listen to port 80 as you know this will be open. also make sure you use secure keys etc [15:29] riktking, thanks!..

If using it 'as it is' is hassle free, meaning among othere things that nothing will be overwritten or deleted, I'd rather do that.

[17:04] gharz1: they mean different disks, sda is the first, sdb is the second, sdc is the third, so on and so forth [17:04] gharz1, its where it is located sda is the "master" and "sdb" is the slave, usually [17:05] gharz1: sda is disk, sda1 is partition [17:05] can someone help me understand why port 80 is locked down after using ufw [17:05] kanzie: what did you tell ufw to do? [17:05] LjL: I see, thanks === kaolbrec is now known as kaolbrec|afk [17:06] cousin_mario: you could also quickly check if the Scan button will work by running "scanimage --wait-for-button=yes >/dev/null" [17:06] sd (a...b...c) means a is the first disk and b is the second disk... it doesn't mean b is a partition? [17:06] acicula: actually I have apache in app list so it should work, but I told it sudo ufw allow 80 [17:06] gharz1: the numbers indicate partitions [17:06] ic [17:06] ok [17:06] thanks!

[17:07] LjL: it exits the previous command and returns that message after I press it [17:08] i've got 1 disk [17:08] kanzie: i dont understand, can you rephrase? [17:08] but 4 partitions [17:08] cousin_mario: well that's weird, it's, like... recognizing the button and then immediately saying it doesn't recognize it =) [17:08] zortec: use gparted [17:08] gharz1: then you should have only sda1, sda2, sda3, sda4 [17:08] does somebody know how to implement a program that moves and click on a x-y coordenates??

[17:10] kanzie: ah i understand [17:10] hy all [17:10] y have 1 question [17:11] why this eror [17:11] cousin_mario: SANE guys apparently didn't realize that something they did some time ago made my Epson all-in-one only work as a scanner if i first remove printer modules ;) anyway, it *might* have buttons support, with just Ubuntu not doing anything with it, although i'd have expected "--wait-for-button" to work then. but again, scanbuttond might just work [17:11] Bad argument `22' [17:11] Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.

I want to retag the "album"-tag according to the folder their are located. i can't achieve this with easytag as the "scan" feature ends without any effect, although the example works alrigt. [17:14] llua have you looked for it in the add ons of firefox [17:15] thanks acicula :) [17:15] hiexpo, when i drag and drop onto 'themes' under that the theme doesnt appear.

[17:16] is it extracted [17:16] I just did an apt-get upgrade and my firefox no longer works [17:16] gharz1: can't boot anything? [17:16] hiexpo, yes, i drag the whole theme folder. [17:17] the icon in the tool bar is like a red circle with a line through it [17:17] is it a desktop theme or firefox browser theme? [17:17] has anyone else experienced this?

[17:18] this was so easy in windows.. ;) i hope foobar will one day be available for linux... [17:19] splashote... I use 'EasyTag'. it has a rename option for that [17:19] hiexpo, it contains both [17:19] pacalNord: i tried. the scan tool did not change any of the values of the selected mp3s... [17:19] ok what folder are you dropping the theme in / [17:19] tweaksource: yes... it got messed up when the system updated and installed kernel 2.6.31-17 [17:19] On my other computer when I go into a non widescreen resolution, ubuntu creates a black border around to save stretching the image. For some reason I'm not getting that on the netbook remix, anyone know how to enable it? [17:20] weird.. I use it all the time. Hold on let me see if there is a gotcha [17:20] hiexpo, the whole theme folder [17:20] pacalNord: although it worked in the example. i put " %a/ " and the log book says that alle files were scanned, but not a single one is changed! [17:20] is ther a grub menu entry for the old kernel that worked? [17:20] sharperguy: that's a graphics card feature. google for configuration thingamajigs for whatever graphics chipset the netbook has [17:21] theRipper: not all arguments use the --, like -p [17:21] Hi everyone [17:21] So whenever I run wireshark as root it decides to crash on me with the error: ERROR:file.c:318:cf_reset_state: assertion failed: (cf->state != FILE_READ_IN_PROGRESS) [17:21] Any idea why that would be [17:21] theRipper: or maybe its - for one letter arguments or -- for long arguments [17:21] ok if its what i think than right click on desktop /change background /click themes/ customize and probally in there [17:22] _2 you still there ? [17:22] err [17:22] acicula thanks again ;) [17:22] Jato_Laptop: an error, any luck with google or the wireshark mailinglist? [17:22] Wait, it just worked. [17:22] ut, hmm ok. Is Karmic the first one to turn it on? [17:22] splashote, on filescan.. i typically use the 'rename-file / directory' and it looks like you are trying to do the opposite. which would be 'Fill Tag'. [17:22] hiexpo, i know how to change my desktop theme, just trying to get the firefox part of the theme working. [17:22] I havent tried 'FillTag' [17:22] oh ok === Bwaah is now known as Boten_Anna [17:23] opps gotta go [17:23] eat taco! [17:23] check your addons see if it is enabled [17:23] its not. [17:23] gharz1: do you still have the option to boot into the old kernel, 3rd line probably [17:23] you may have to restart firefox to enable it [17:23] sharperguy: I don't know much that's specific. But I've fiddled with that in Windows before, and it depends on the driver software for a given chipset. It might not be supported by your drivers for your card, but that'd be where to look.

[18:11] acicula: that would be great if i knew the package name [18:11] tweaksource: thanks sooo much [18:11] DSpair, can you give the exact error message plz [18:11] loops: Sorry, not Grub. syslinux/isolinux prompt [18:11] specifically, DSpair, are you using the correct version? (32-bit or 64-bit)? [18:11] DSpair, okay.. same thing [18:11] No prob. [18:11] loops: I don't have physical access to the server. I have a co-worker relaying. [18:11] TrekCaptainUSA: 32 bit should work on both 32 and 64 bit hardware. [18:12] acicula, I have to learn somewhere... I will have NOTHING of value on this and it isn't for making money so WHEN it goes down I wont be out a cent [18:12] DSpair, actual error message would help :o) [18:12] bartmon: apt-cache ;) [18:12] DSpair: I know that, just have to ask (I'm trained to ask things like that :P) I agree with Loops, the actual error would help [18:12] loops: Being able to put my hands on the keyboard would help too, I was just hoping someone here would have a suggestion I hadn't thought of. [18:13] bartmon: apt-cache search vnc | grep server gives a bunch of options, you'll have to check which one you installed [18:13] DSpair, it might be Xorg dying.. try going into text mode [18:14] loops: Nope, it's not even making it that far. I had my co-worker in NY disable "quiet" in the kernel boot params. The initial kernel and ramdisk load, but then it stops. [18:14] It's like init is not getting loaded properly. [18:14] acicula: i installed none. There's one that comes pakaged with the default install and can be set up via the System menu in Gnome. Right now i want to change settings via ssh beause it is misbehaving but i can't find a trace of any vnc package on my system, any vnc config file...

[18:16] whois dir2 [18:16] bartmon: configured via vino-preferences, but not sure if you can actually do anything with it from outside the X session [18:16] hi, I have a quick question ... I am trying to install 8.04 Server using ubuntu-8.04.3-server-i386.iso, but my install fails due to verification errors. I have tried multiple burns, the ISO md5 matches, but when I run md5sum on the .txt file I get 7 errors: 6 files not found and 1 has a crc mismatch. Any ideas? [18:17] why this error Configuring for Apache, Version 1.3.29 [18:17] + Warning: Your 'echo' command is slightly broken. [18:17] centurian: did you try the checkcd option at bootup? [18:17] yes [18:17] I extracted the ISO file as well, same result [18:17] it's like the ISO is bad, but I have redownloaded it, and the md5 matches every time. [18:17] what md5sum on what text file are you running? [18:18] is there a program that allows me to control how much bandwidth my different running programs may use? For example if i am streaming something and downloading something at the same time, i would like to allocate a certain bandwidth for the streaming application [18:18] hi, i was wondering if it's possible to use ubuntu as a hard-disk-recorder for tv series, i have a tuner card, but i'd like it to be dedicated, so i don't want to start some program first, i just want it to boot and open the tv-tuner recording sutfff [18:18] acicula: yeah, seems to be it. Can't find any relevant config files though. Argh, this is supposed to be unix not that ridiculous gui only os. [18:18] bartmon: well have you tried starting up vino-preferences remotely?

[18:19] acicula: nope, let me start another ssh session with -X :) [18:19] DSpair, another guess would be that the linux kernel can't read the boot media.. try installing from a USB stick maybe [18:19] lieuwe: look into 'mythbuntu' [18:19] acicula: I am using the md5sum from the UbuntuHashes site, and to check the files I am using the included md5 txt [18:19] Diverdude: you can do it on your own computer using iptables, some routers are doing it [18:19] daftykins: thanks... [18:19] centurian: the files inside the iso are da? [18:19] *bad [18:20] that's what it looks like [18:20] well i have this relysys TL795 monitor on DVI link and image is jumping [18:20] DSpair, another option is to install windows and use Wubi the windows based linux installer [18:20] centurian: also when you local loop mount the iso? [18:20] acicula, i see...hmm its not in the ubuntu software center this "traffic shaping" program [18:20] actually, only 1 is truly bad, the others are missing [18:20] i am using proprietary drivers, jumping occurs nmostly on logon screen [18:20] Diverdude: iptables lets you traffic shape, its not a click install traffic shape program [18:20] sometimes screeen goes black and back on [18:20] could this be caused by refresh rate [18:20] ? [18:21] relina: crt/lcd ? does it just out of the blue switch on and off? [18:21] loops: USB was a thought I just had while out smoking. I'll have my co-worker see if he has a USB CD-ROM Drive.

If i just download and compile firefox it wont update with sudo apt-get upgrad right? suggestions? [18:23] sipior: in the auth.log? [18:23] relina: dont really understand what graphic issue you are having :/ [18:23] hi [18:23] paulus68: no, start last in the terminal.

[18:23] acicula on logon screen the image is jumping up down or goes black [18:23] and back [18:23] relina: like an improperly tuned anttenna tv ?

[18:26] paulus68: if you're interested in failed login attempts, try "lastb" [18:26] well great [18:26] coud it be gf card? [18:27] relina: i doubt it, you'd have persistend problems, same for cable/screen [18:27] no idea ?

[18:29] so it must be either ubuntu or card [18:29] I just downloaded the Linux version of the new Firefox 3.6, since I know it'll be ages before it's available via apt.

[18:30] blakkheim, So put the firefox dir there, then ln -s to the executable? [18:30] acicula: that is my reasoning too [18:30] etfb: put it /usr/local so you dont overwrite existing binaries belonging to packages [18:30] etfb: it's really up to you what you do with it [18:30] so anybody what settings does logon screen use? [18:30] etfb: you may just want to leave it in your home directory so it can be updated when necessary, until a package comes out for it [18:30] blakkheim, I just want to put it somewhere unsurprising, so I don't mess up my tidy filesystem [18:31] sipior: well just need to find out the last part think I will do a script stating last>>/temp/last and then pick it up through mail then [18:31] relina: all i know is that it defaults to the highest monitor settings it gets or whatever you have explicitly configured in the xorg.conf [18:31] I cant boot into ubuntu correctly, any help?

[18:32] paulus68: if your system is configured to send mail already, you can just invoke "mail" in the script directly. [18:32] trism, Interesting. Yes, that probably makes more sense for my situation, now I think of it. And ln -s ... ~/bin/ff36 to make it "global", at least to me. [18:32] paulus68: ever looked at ossec ? [18:32] hi everyone, i just installed 9.10 and enabled metacity's compositing manager ... however now when i alt+tab or resize windows its extremely sluggish; i was wondering where i might be able to change settings for those two things; ie. revert alt-tab to the noncomposited version and resize windows with a border instead of the fully visual resize ... let me know if any of that doesnt make sense :) [18:32] is there an easy/quick way of knowing what ubuntu version one is running from a terminal?

OSX works perfectly fine though. [18:35] acicula: using the standby option in the menu with my userbame [18:36] mkjackson: ah like so, well you'd have to pin the older versions , until a new package is installed (google how to pin a package , cuz i dont know) [18:36] etfb, there are no drivers listed in hardware drivers for me, so im grabbing it w/ the "software center" [18:36] loops: Adding the kernel param of "all-generic-ide" seems to have made it work.

However, you need to change the contents of /boot in addition to the MBR, which means you either need to chroot to the drive first, or copy over the results before rebooting.

[20:13] I'm trying to 'sudo crontab -e' but can't seem to get a sudo crontab to use vi [20:13] ascheel: you can set the EDITOR environment variable [20:13] Chousuke: if I set it in my .bashrc, does it transfer with sudo? [20:13] it should [20:14] remember to export it though [20:14] lopan: Forget the chroot entirely - I don't think you need it, and it's harder. [20:14] jonathan_: it used to work when I had the original ati driver from ati.com. but ever since I installed the ati open driver it's been like that [20:14] ascheel: you can also configure the systemwide default editor with sudo update-alternatives --config editor [20:14] afroman I've just been looking in launchpad and i can't see any recent bugs for this [20:14] lopan: If you wanted to go that route, you would mount sda3 to /mnt/realsystem, mount sda1 to /mnt/realsystem/boot, and then chroot to /mnt/realsystem [20:14] tonyyarusso: So just mount boot to /mnt/boot, then grub-install to that directory? [20:15] Has anyone been able to pull video from HDMI on Linux? What kind of speeds can you get? [20:15] does grub-install need proc? [20:15] you might need to mount that too [20:15] lopan: grub-install takes a device as an argument, not a directory. [20:16] Chousuke: proc isn't on a drive...

I don't know. [20:17] Chousuke: my point being that /proc isn't "mounted" - it exists as soon as you boot a Linux kernel.

[20:17] tonyyarusso: nope [20:18] Chousuke: the EDITOR variable doesn't transfer over to a sudo session [20:18] Chousuke: How do you think it works? [20:18] tonyyarusso: mount proc /foo/bar [20:18] hello. :) [20:18] tonyyarusso: it's a filesystem. it's mounted like everything else. [20:18] hi everyone, I have a problem that moving files (on the same disk between two ext4 partitions) is extremely slow. I try to copy 5.5 GB of files but it runs at about 100-200kb/s... [20:18] Chousuke: I stand corrected. crontab -e is ignoring the variable [20:18] tonyyarusso: So why do I need to mount boot to /mnt/boot if grub-install only needs a device? [20:18] Hello, to reinstate the grub of ubuntu 9.04 with the version of the super grub disk 0.9799, does one can? please [20:19] Chousuke: I'm pretty sure we're arguing while actually agreeing :P [20:19] Hey everyone. Can anyone tell me where the repositories are for Ubuntu PPC? Not for the whole release ISO, but for individual packages? I tried doing some searches, but could only come up with the install CD images. And can't find anything for the powerpc architecture in the standard repos. Does anyone here know or is anyone here running 9.04 or 9.10 on powerpc that could check their sources.list for me?

[20:19] please help :( [20:19] tonyyarusso: well, I guess the linux kernel just mounts it by default when it boots :P [20:19] lopan: because grub writes to /boot in addition to the MBR. It uses it, but does not take it as an argument. [20:19] tonyyarusso: it is indeed mounted by the init scripts- and in case of a chroot to be on the safe side it is better to do « mount --bind /sys/ /mnt/whatever/sys/ » and repeat for /proc/ and /dev/ before you chroot [20:19] tonyyarusso: but you still might need to mount it again if you use chroots :) [20:20] jonathan_: it's similar but there is no solution... [20:20] tonyyarusso: Oh. So I need to mount it to /boot, not /mnt/boot [20:20] tonyyarusso: I had to do just that the other day to make update-initramfs work when installing debian :/ [20:20] Chousuke, tonyyarusso, offtopic?

[20:23] how often do files in the repositories get updated ? [20:24] It IS displaying an image, but I can't tell what thanks to the vertical rolling. [20:24] Athen: That depends on which files and which repositories you mean. Can you be more specific? [20:24] afroman I just thought if you have a good internet connection and a blank cd lying around you could try it to see if any improvements are on the horizon. 10.04 is released in April [20:24] Athen: when there is a security problem with them or bugfix [20:24] should I be expecting firefox 3.6 to show up anytime soon ? [20:24] daijoubu: are you sure it's not there? it should be [20:24] Athen: for karmic? [20:24] Athen: nope [20:24] !latest | Athen [20:24] yeh, on Karmic [20:24] Athen: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports. [20:24] Athen: No. [20:24] Athen: no, it's not going to be in karmic default repositories. [20:24] !ghost [20:24] If you own an IRC nick that is currently being used, you can make it change nicks by typing: /msg nickserv release | If you have a dead (ghost) connection, you can make it quit by typing: /msg nickserv ghost | further help in #freenode [20:24] afroman I suspect that the support you are hoping for is not in the karmic version of the AMD/Ati open source driver [20:24] Hey. Can anyone tell me where the repositories are for Ubuntu for PowerPC? Not for the whole release ISO, but for individual packages? I tried doing some searches, but could only come up with the install CD images. And can't find anything for the PowerPC architecture in the standard repos since it's only "unofficially supported." Does anyone here know or is anyone here running 9.04 or 9.10 on PowerPC that could check their sources.list [20:25] Jeah: cdimage.ubuntu.com, under "ports" [20:25] jonathan_: and if it works, shall I install the alpha version? [20:25] I am having sound problem with my kubuntu 9.10 box. For some reasons, I can only get sound from one particular application (kaffeine). Other media players and web browsers do not have any sound. I have no idea how to troubleshoot. Any help, please? [20:25] Jeah: wait, er, lemme double-check that [20:25] Myrtti, the package name is yafaray_0.1.1_ubuntu64.deb and in Synaptic i have only Yafray and it's not even installed and it is a different version [20:25] tonyyarusso: Mounted /dev/sda1 to /boot. then did grub-install /dev/sda. Rebooted and I'm still in the same place (busybox) [20:26] afroman I wouldn't advise that, no. I tend to have a spare partition on my laptop where I run the testing version [20:26] afroman: are you doing anything vital on your computer, would your work/studies/whatever suffer if your ubuntu would go into State Where It Does Not Work? [20:26] tonyyarusso: ok, thanks. I'll dig in there and see if I can find it, too. [20:26] * window -1 [20:26] daijoubu: if you look at synaptic, in the bottom left corner there are different buttons, you might find what you search from there [20:26] how do I get a casper net-boot ? How were the prior ones built? What do I need to change in the initrd? [20:26] afroman but if it is fixed in the alpha it would point to a problem with the current driver [20:27] tonyyarusso: All I'm seeing are CD images. [20:27] jonathan_: which driver? alsa? [20:28] Can anyone see any compatibility problems running ubuntu on this netbook? I know there've been some problems with GMAs: https://www.sonystyle.co.uk/SonyStyle/catalog/categorieInPath/(layout=15_132_61_48_133_137_2)/.do?key=0/3E99541A304E7370E10000002BC29B8F/4A4C69CA4D390175E10080002BC29BE2 [20:28] How to remove a program that was installed with .deb but it is not listed in Synaptic or in Add/Remove ?

Can anyone help with this vertical rolling issue? [20:31] is there a way to change a FAT filesystem file's attributes through linux???? [20:31] It does? Well hell [20:31] obviously the mcafee and office trials have a slight compatibility issue :p [20:32] Anyway I can downgrade to 9.04 without performing a clean install? [20:32] Tribulation, 9.10 isnt the very best of releases, you may want to stick with 9.04 till lucid is released [20:32] !grub2 [20:32] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 === para is now known as Guest8033 [20:32] jonathan_: but if it is about the graphic card, I have the latest ati open driver installed. it makes no sense that it might work with 10.4 but not 9.10 [20:32] vsem privet [20:33] afroman how is it the latest? Are you using a ppa? [20:33] Tribulation: no [20:33] so can anyone see any problems running linux on this HW? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m4ab0e0bd [20:33] daijoubu: what if you do dpkg -l *yafaray* [20:33] apfelsaft: what soundchipset, what wifi-chipset, what webcam [20:33] jonathan_: ya [20:33] vsem privet [20:33] llutz: noo idea. [20:33] Tribulation, i suggest running a live cd, backing everything up, then installing [20:33] apfelsaft: get that info, come back later and ask then again [20:33] I'll get it now. ta. [20:33] Tribulation, maybe run from a usb so you can use a cd burner and such [20:34] äà áëèí åñòü òóò ðóññêèå èëè íåò? [20:34] where can i find testing for new release of ubuntu [20:34] i ask an easy question changing sort of the distros on grub2... why i can't do it without reading the wiki? [20:34] Well I guess I'll just back my stuff up and then install Debian [20:34] linxeh, No packages found matching yafaray_0.1.1_ubuntu64.deb. [20:34] Floops[w]: read the ubuntu website and the topic in #ubuntu+1 [20:34] Floops[w]: #ubuntu+1 [20:34] ty [20:34] safruhani, Knowledge is power. [20:34] it wav very easy on grub... [20:34] apfelsaft: and "blue" always is critical, ubuntu prefers orange/brown :) [20:34] 0vas [20:34] safruhani, patience is a virtue [20:34] afroman ok. You said it worked with the proprietary graphics driver but not the os one, so it definitely looks like a graphics driver problem [20:35] linxeh, strange how does it know that there are no packages of yafaray 0.1.1 when it's not told in the description of the command lol [20:35] afroman and if you're using the latest driver yet hdmi sound is not working, it may be worth filing a bug upstream with the os ATI developers [20:36] daijoubu: oh, its globbed it then [20:36] daijoubu: try doing it after doing cd /tmp [20:36] jonathan_: and how do I do that? [20:37] daijoubu: or try dpkg -l | grep yafaray [20:37] daijoubu: or try dpkg -l | grep -i yafaray [20:37] Can ANYONE help me fix this? The rolling is making me dizzy. [20:37] linxeh, that worked it shows some options about purge and remove and then yafaray 0.1.1 YafaRay is a raytracing open source render e something like a table [20:37] If I create iptables rules using the regular "iptables" command, will they get saved when I reboot the system and reenabled when it restarts? [20:37] !please | DJCharlie [20:37] can anyone tell me quick how to purg wine from ubuntu 9.04? [20:37] DJCharlie: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude [20:38] uwall-e: sudo apt-get purge wine should do it [20:38] when is ubuntu updating firefox to 3.6 ? [20:38] uwall-e: not sure if you have to remove the .wine folder in your home folder manually though [20:38] please dont tell me till next release [20:38] Black_Phantom: by the next release, probably [20:38] blakkheim: Aside from asking WHY I want to do something you haven't offered a single suggestion. [20:38] upgrading* [20:38] Slart: no by default afaik (unless you are using some firwall frontend that does that) [20:38] linxeh, grep shows ii yafaray 0.1.1 YafaRay is a raytracing open source render e [20:38] crap i have to wait 3 months ;/ [20:38] wtf i am banned from a server that i never entered [20:39] thats the thing i uninstalled it and tryed the proper purg but its still in my applications drop down menu [20:39] Meslot: please control your langauge [20:39] daijoubu: ok, what if you do dpjg -r yafaray [20:39] excuse me, does anyone know why i am unable to put my computer into standby? [20:39] daijoubu: dpkg -r yafaray even [20:39] !attitude | DJCharlie [20:39] DJCharlie: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [20:39] Meslot: i don't suppose that's a problem with Ubuntu...? [20:39] Green_Wax: maybe for lack of swap [20:39] erUSUL: hmm.. that's what I thought too.. and still my 8.04 xubuntu install does that.. and I can't remember if i've done something clever with it to get that functionality [20:39] Meslot: it might easily be a problem with your IRC'ing as root, though. [20:39] sry..but the first channel i came inti ubuntu [20:40] afroman are you using radeonhd? [20:40] Slart: iptables-save > somefile && iptables-restore < somefile [20:40] linxeh, thanks it killed it with sudo :) thank you [20:40] i just deleted [20:40] thanks people [20:40] !rootirc | Meslot [20:40] Meslot: It's not technically our business, but we'd like to tell you that IRC'ing as root is a Very Bad Idea (tm). After all, doing anything as root when root is not needed is bad, and especially bad with software that connects to the Internet. [20:40] Slart: just save the settings with save and restore them in rc.local [20:40] erUSUL: yes.. I recognize those commands.. is there somewhere I could stick those to make them run on a restart? [20:40] erUSUL: or perhaps I'm saving them in a crontab.. haven't checked that =) [20:41] jonathan_: I think it's ati [20:41] Slart: /etc/network/if-up.d / down.d [20:41] hi people, do you know how make ubuntu able to show volume levels for all sound peripherals ( usb also) ? [20:41] llutz: oh.. it brings down the network before it reboots? that would actually make sense.. thanks [20:41] afroman which graphics card do you have again? If you look here: http://wiki.x.org/wiki/radeonhd you'll see that hdmi sound support was only just added to the radeonhd driver [20:42] how can one clear a software channel ? [20:42] I had tried to update firefox, and it didn't work well, but now i can't revert/reinstall the older version, as it says there's a newer version that conflicts with it [20:42] jonathan_: ati mobility radeon hd 3470 [20:43] When I try to use the "compose" key on my Ubuntu machine, it appears to 'stick' - that is, everything I type from then on is in a different character set - the only way out of it appears to be "dpkg-reconfigure console-setup". What am I missing? [20:44] hello, i have a simple ubuntu server setup and i just want to be able to execute "aplay done.wav" when a certain process finishes. im no linux guy, it works for me now that i type "sudo aplay done.wav" but not for the current user. i installed alsa/pulseaudio and added the user to audio, video, pulse and pulse-access but no sound when not using sudo. [20:44] joa_: do you get some kind of error message when you try running it as a user? [20:45] no, when i use speaker-test -twav for instance, i hear nothing, but no error message either [20:45] oh, and aplay -L lists me all devices as well [20:45] tonyyarusso: still around? [20:45] afroman have you tried the radeonhd driver? [20:46] jonathan_: I have seen this website before. I think it's old. I did try to install that way but I couldn't, so I did an apt-get install xserver-video-ati [20:46] jonathan_: yes [20:46] joa_: hmm.. odd.. let me look around.. see if I can find anything useful [20:46] salve a tutti help [20:46] lopan: yeah [20:46] !it | lupo [20:46] lupo: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [20:47] afroman and it didn't work? What was wrong with fglrx? [20:47] tonyyarusso: Mounted /dev/sda1 to /boot. then did grub-install /dev/sda. Rebooted and I'm still in the same place (busybox) [20:47] jonathan_: if U mean change in the xorg.conf the driver from ati to radeonhd? done it and don't work [20:47] hey, i'm going out to buy a nvidia card because im sick of problems with my ati. is there any i should avoid due to compatability issues with ubuntu? [20:47] afroman was it installed? [20:47] Slart: is there maybe a simple way to grant all users access to sound? [20:47] joa_: you've checked this page? it has some info on groups to add people to and whatnot https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio [20:48] grazie [20:48] jonathan_: for some reason after an upgrade yesterday, I rebooted the system and got a blank black screen when I tried to enter X [20:48] joa_: I'm not really sure if there is a simple way to do that.. [20:49] hi people, do you know how make ubuntu able to show volume levels for all sound peripherals ( usb also) ? [20:49] jonathan_: yes I had radeonhd installed. as well as radeon and ati [20:49] lopan: did you see the OS proper output while running it? [20:49] actually, anyone really happy with their nvidia card and didn't have to struggle to get it working under ubuntu? [20:49] ah, i have no pulse-rt group [20:49] afroman have you been trying out all these drivers one by one already? :) === m0ar_ is now known as m0ar [20:49] yep [20:50] joa_: this is a bit dated but might be worth looking at anyways http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=548562 [20:50] Athen: how did you install the newer version? [20:50] jonathan_: it's been a long night [20:50] guntbert:: by adding a line to sources.list for the mozilla-daily ppa on launchpad [20:50] Hi all! Does anyone have a good way to detect what monitor (if any) is connected at boot? I'm on Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit. On 32 bit I used a script with ddcprobe that moved the correct xorg.conf file at bootup. But ddcprobe doesn't work on 64 bit for me. [20:51] I have since removed that line, and updated, but the package remains in all my lists [20:51] I can't force a version in Synaptic, it just keeps reverting to the newer one [20:51] afroman what is the output of aplay -L? [20:51] Athen: then remove/comment that line, run an update of the database - then it should work [20:51] guntbert:: I did that, it didn't work. [20:52] Enter text here... [20:52] heyy [20:52] hi [20:52] tonyyarusso: Sorry - os proper output? [20:52] think I'll just reboot, that'll probably help [20:52] hi [20:52] Athen: just read - sorry then I cannot help [20:52] hey [20:52] :D [20:52] GirLLaydd: do you have a question or do you just want to spam?

[20:54] lopan: prober. The thing that detects which operating systems are on your system. [20:54] AND REMEMBER: don't click on any foreign links! [20:54] lopan: it might be the grub-setup command that runs those rather than grub-install. (I haven't futzed with grub2 much) [20:55] tonyyarusso: You mean after grub-install? I saw that it detected md0 and md1, but that was it. [20:55] anyone know when firefox 3.6 will make it out? [20:55] !latest | jmcantrell [20:55] jmcantrell: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest.

It's just that some of the messages going into the files are also displaying within SSH session, which is really annoying when I'm working on a conf file in an editor because I have to save out and reopen the file to get rid of the stdout message that are now on screen overlaying my editor.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [22:14] sburwood: depends on what password and what kind of questions [22:14] Kingsy102: you upgraded? Upgrade will inherit from older preference you had thats more likely [22:15] ninel - so how do I change it to the newer icons/menus? [22:15] Kingsy102: just like you'd do from preferences .. choose your liked theme [22:15] Slart: I have two things. One, I want to change the system password, but it won't let me because it says that the password is too simple [22:15] need help with wireless problem - network manager says connected but no internet [22:15] sburwood: but give it a try.. I've never seen anyone kick-banned just because of a simple question (that didn't contain nasty words or such) [22:16] sburwood: we're talking about ubuntu ? [22:16] ohh yea I see it [22:16] nice one [22:16] ip address is assigned dhcp and dns name servers listed are right - but no internet [22:16] Slart: yes, 9.10 [22:16] br4216 [22:16] and the other question is how to disable the asterixes (feedback) when I type the password [22:17] sburwood: ok, afaik there is nothing called "system password".. you have a user password which you use to login and use for sudo stuff.. you might mean the root password? [22:17] gammax500: psatebin "route -n" and "ifconfig -a" in terminal please [22:17] ok one moment [22:17] Slart: yes, I suppose [22:17] sburwood: hmm.. I read something about how to get rid of the asterixes.. hang on [22:17] upgrading to 9.10 I lost my EDGE modem to be used via network manager.. I now have to struggle everytime with wvdial... What can I do to reduce the pain? [22:18] Slart: I had that possibility in 8.10, but I can't find the option in 9.10 [22:18] daftykins - ok done that [22:18] Is there a 2.6.32 kernel PPA to add to software sources? [22:18] what am i looking for [22:18] gammax500: wanna give me the pastebin links to the output of those commands please? [22:18] sburwood: where do you see the asterixes.. I don't get them when I use sudo on my 9.10 system [22:19] Hi there, i installed fx 3.6 in ubuntu using ubuntuzilla; my fonts look ugly :( http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/2558/fx36font.png is there anything i can do¿¿ [22:19] Slart: I mean during login to the system [22:19] am newb to irq - how do i pastebin [22:19] DasEi: thanks:) [22:19] !pastebin | gammax500 [22:19] gammax500: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://ubuntu.pastebin.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic [22:19] sburwood: in the gnome login window? [22:19] thanks, bbs [22:19] j stargard [22:19] ciao a tutti [22:19] Slart: I believe so, yes [22:20] j# syargard [22:20] when I get errors on the command line, why do they show up with weird characters -> error: expected â=â, â,â, â;â, âasmâ or â__attribute__â before âinit_cllsdâ ? and if it is a locale issue, wwhats the best way to reset it? [22:20] sburwood: you are aware that by default the root user has no password, that this root account is actually disabled? [22:20] sburwood: hmm.. let me check around.. I'll get back to you in a minute or two [22:20] DDwi: you tried regenerating your locales then rebooting? "dpkg-reconfigure locales" [22:21] daftykins, aha thats what I was looking for, cheers [22:21] oCean_: When I installed the system with 9.10, I put in a password. I want to change that password. [22:21] hello, can someone help me with some hard drive mounting issues? [22:21] usb 1-5: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5 [22:21] Slart: Thx, I'll wait [22:21] one more thing, if I have evolution closed and I get sent an e-mail and you have the icon int he preferences (check mail every 2 mins or whatever) does it prompt you? if you don't have it open I mean [22:21] elke: I wish I could, but I'm a n00b [22:22] me too [22:22] elke: It relieves me to know that I'm not alone ... ;) [22:22] daftykins: probably you'll be able to help me out http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m48894de its the /var/log/messages tail output when I try the Network manager's EDGE Modem connectivity [22:23] sburwood: ah well, that's just the passwd of your default useraccount. You want to reduce the passwd "strength-requirements"? [22:23] hi guys, wondering what is the best proxy server to go with for ubuntu [22:23] Slart: What bothers me, is that I did a sudo passwd, and it told me that the password was changed [22:23] hi [22:23] ninel: nothing more? theres no serial/modem-driver loading [22:23] ninel: so is the deal that network manage doesn't work with your WWAN hardware or that it's not working with it? [22:23] so i haven't been on ubuntu for about a year and a half due to school compatibility reasons - just stopped in to idly wonder if compiz has become any more awesome in that time? i miss my eye candy [22:24] oCean_: No, if I can do without that [22:24] sburwood: we don't support having a root password set in this channel, it's not really needed [22:24] jbert: what version did you run last? [22:24] my network manager's EDGE modem doesn't work since I upgraded to 9.10 [22:24] the modem only works with wvdial [22:24] daftykins: i think it was ibex - i remember one of the wallpapers being a goat [22:24] would have thought that ubuntu server would have come with some sort of proxy server [22:25] anyone know why this site isn't watchable under karmic in firefox? [22:25] http://www.aetv.com/intervention/video/index.jsp?bcpid=1452232410&bclid=1453556960&bctid=14883418001 [22:25] Slart: My wife asked me for my password and I gave it to her. She doesn't know anything about computers, but her son ... [22:25] Slart: And so I want to prevent him from getting into what I can do [22:26] Hey Folks... Got a question here. How would I put a different background on each workspace on a Ubuntu? I have 4 workspaces (for the cube. among other things) id like to put a different wallpaper/background on each one. Anyone know how to do that? [22:26] ok, need some help with apache2. I have installed it through apt-get and that version looks nothing like the actual version I would get by downloading and installing from apache. My site is up apparantly, but i cant seem to find the document root. I looked in the /etc/apache2/sites-available/default and it points to /var/www/. the site is enabled, but i have copied a new index.php there and... [22:26] daftykins - the top bin is the one with both cmds http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d7151e4aa [22:26] ...its still says the same stuff (yes, i reloaded apache). Where the hell is the default.html file coming from?! ::yanks out hair:: [22:26] j2daosh: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:26] sburwood: give your wife an own account, without membership in admin-group [22:26] sburwood: keep him away from the computer.. give him a limited account.. oh.. and don't tell him your password [22:26] Slart: I'm not accusing him, but he can be overbearing and I don't want him to have access to my access [22:26] daftykins: what should I call it? the dropdown menu which detects my EDGE modem used to connect before the upgrade to 9.10 [22:26] i didn't flood... i just had alot to say [22:26] #/join irc.freenode.net#000webhost [22:26] ninel: have you tried from LiveCD? if you have one... [22:27] Slart: My wife needed access to the computer, but she .... I'm just going to have to reinstall everything from scratch, I see [22:27] daftykins: from liveCD it always works [22:27] sburwood: why not just change your password.. [22:27] sburwood, what is your problem? [22:27] can i run an xp vm using my actual xp install data/settings? [22:28] khetti: I think there is a way in virtualbox to do that.. haven't tried it myself though [22:28] I have even demonstrated to audience for Ubuntu Release party with the same modem [22:28] neat [22:28] I did. It told me that the password was successful, but when I rebooted it, it only accepted the old password [22:28] I need a hint here, I've accidentally created an empty file (zero bytes according to "ls -al") but its named "--help", so "rm --help" "rm *help" etc. display a usage synopsis... [22:28] sburwood: how did you change the password? [22:28] Slart : I did. It told me that the password was successful, but when I rebooted it, it only accepted the old password [22:28] ninel: so there's something wrong with network manager on your install. have you tried renaming (to backup) the network manager folder in your user /home so it's reset, the OS can then recreate and see what happens? [22:29] is there a nice trick to passing an arg to force it not to be seen as a flag? [22:29] Im just running some basic system checks on my Server i just setup running xubuntu, when i type in free -m it says im using nearly 1400mb ram (700 in cache) yet when i run htop im only using 167mb ram and every process is under 1%. Which to believe or why is free -m showing so much? [22:29] unlofl: Use quotes [22:29] Slart: I did it using users and groups, I then tried with a terminal, both as a normal user and then with sudp [22:29] gammax500: ok just looking at it [22:29] I tried with remove network manager and then install it back [22:29] sorry for the delay [22:29] unlofl: single quotes [22:29] not double [22:29] np - thanks [22:29] and it told me that it was successful the password change [22:29] vlt: rm "--help" does the same thing, as well as rm \-\-help [22:29] ninel: no that's just the software. it's still reading your config from a hidden folder in ~/ (do ls -a in there to see in terminal) [22:29] single or double quotes [22:29] what's the name of the folder? [22:29] sburwood: the users and groups should have worked.. any chance you forgot to click OK or something like that? [22:29] also, can apps run in a vm interact with apps running in x? [22:29] unlofl: Wat about ` rm -- "--help"` ? [22:29] let me rename it right now [22:29] i was thinking other than squid proxy [22:29] unlofl: try using tab completion [22:30] ninel: sorry i have no ide atm as i'm not in an Ubuntu install [22:30] thought maybe ubuntu was using something else [22:30] unlofl: same problem here...can not delete -v, quotes didnt work (also single ones) j2daosh [22:30] Slart: I'm a n00b, but not that ignorant [22:30] gammax500: in terminal does it respond fine if you "ping 192.168.1.1" ? [22:30] let me make one an try to delete it [22:30] hmmm daftykins I tried reconfiguring locales still getting strange characters in error messages -> expected â=â, â,â, â;â, âasmâ or â__attribute__â before âinit_cllsdâ any ideas? [22:30] (you can also do it thru the gui if you have that option) [22:30] Slart : and yes, I did click to confirm and it told me that the password was changed [22:31] daftykins - yes, it responds [22:31] \quit [22:31] j2daosh: no gui available, only shell access [22:31] sburwood: ok.. try it again.. system, administration, users and groups.. click on your account then properties and then "Change Password" [22:31] rightie oh, lemme make afile named --help and see what i get [22:31] gammax500: ok what's in your /etc/resolv.conf ? should just be something like "nameserver 192.168.1.1" ? [22:31] Hi I am a bit new here, I am recently started using ubuntu as my desktop OS (used linux for servers for years) and now I find a few things I used to do in windows hard to find. I really need to be able to switch back and forth from russian to english on my keyboard how is this done in ubuntu? [22:31] Hi guys, I'm in Ubuntu 9.10, fully updated. Created 2 boot USB sticks with "USB Startus Disk Creator", neither boot - tested on 3 machines. Boots to "boot error". I tried running install-mbr in a stick, but that didn't help. Ideas? [22:31] gah, man rm had it .... somebody make fun of me [22:32] hello! I configured a backup via LuckyBackup (using rsync). I defined for my documents-backup a source-folder (containing all my backups) and a target-folder (which is supposed to contain my backup. The problem is: If i delete any files in the source folder, they are not deleted in the target folder. What I need is something like a complete removal of the target-folder before running the backup again. Is there any feature in rsync which [22:32] supports this? I hope it was a bit understandable... [22:32] need some help, i'm installing ubuntu 9.10 with wubi from windows and when i reboot to ubuntu after first splash screen with ubuntu logo flashing my monitor goes out of range... can anyone help me ? [22:32] DaDudeX: don't use wubi [22:32] daftykins: I just did .n lookup and it shows only four such names none of which are network related one was .netx [22:32] ?

[22:32] ah, the answer is the -- option, or remove using a path ( so the name starts ./ or /full/path/to/fule ) [22:32] ninel: hmm perhaps do a little background on how network manager stores its' settings? [22:32] DaDudeX: because you run into problems like this when you do. it's also slower since it's running on top of windows' horrible filesystem. do a real installation. [22:33] noone ?

[22:34] closest i got was \-\-help [22:34] :P [22:34] those are in the router settings at 192.168..1.1 [22:34] tho I can still access the xp data from linux [22:34] its a nickname, daftykins [22:34] the whole home lan uses that set of dns [22:34] hello [22:34] gammax500: so if you do "nslookup google.com" do you get a response? [22:34] how can I remove old kernal ? [22:34] Georg, no, but your bootloader might be messed up [22:34] I was really confused by the '--help' thing because I didn't realize I'd created the file, and "grep configthingy *" blew up, and I couldn't figure why grep didn't work XD [22:34] usb 1-5: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5 [22:34] anyideas how to fix it dasEi ?

See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) [22:47] trek: that is the thing i didn't look into those programs but i thought the sound recorder that came with ubuntu 9.10 could record to mp3 format [22:48] daftykins: pardon my ignorance, I am just trying to install a CP on my desktop for trials. I am honestly lost on what to do. It appears that I need to be logged in as root in order for this script to work but am unsure how to do so.

[22:48] ok thanks for help dasEi [22:48] king11: MP3 format is proprietary, and Ubuntu anything doesn't record directly to it [22:48] aarcane, I would make sure , then use the manual install option to / and /home if you wish, [22:48] king11: Audacity is what I use, I use Jaunty 9.04, but its the same concept [22:48] stewartdenton: change to the folder where the script is, if it's on your desktop type "cd Desktop" in terminal, then type "sudo ./scriptname" where "scriptname" is the filename on the desktop, brb 2 mins [22:48] oops how to PM? [22:48] king11: Learned I had to use it the hard way :P [22:49] thanks [22:49] DasEi can i ask you something in pm ? [22:49] np king11 [22:49] i will download it right know thanks everyone [22:49] :) [22:49] Aurelian: why not here ? [22:49] DasEi because it is not related on ubuntu [22:50] gammax500: /query [22:50] thanks [22:50] daftykins: I am in the folder of the script and try that, but what I get is : "root@stewart-desktop:~/ispcp_installer# sudo ./install [22:50] sudo: unable to resolve host stewart-desktop [22:50] sudo: /etc/sudoers is owned by uid 1000, should be 0 [22:50] Segmentation fault" [22:51] stewartdenton: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:51] evening [22:51] stewartdenton: ah sounds like an issue with sudo then, can you pastebin the contents of /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname ? [22:51] i've got a question. is it possible to augment the boot sequence to not load certain items? [22:52] How can I prevent a user from mounting devices using nautilus's side pane ?

[22:52] hi everyone [22:53] see above, nwbnhlp [22:53] DasEi: is it possible to make the boot sequence not try to load the Firestarter firewall? [22:53] DasEi: There is no option I found in the installer === pipegeek1 is now known as pipegeek [22:53] DasEi: it shows up on boot on the laptop I'm working on now, and the client wants it to not try to load on boot [22:53] nwbnhlp there will be a custom/manual selection in the first few screens.... [22:53] DasEi: this is BEFORE login, as well [22:54] DasEi: like at the Ubuntu 9.04 loading flash screen === nathan is now known as Guest91693 [22:54] is there a way to make pidgin not show a message every time someone joins or leaves an IRC channel? [22:54] trek , sure, easiest way is install bum and run it, for other tasks, too , see [22:54] !bum [22:54] Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [22:54] Trek: just disable the firestarter service. [22:54] exit [22:54] oops [22:54] trek , or simply disable/remove it [22:55] daftykins: I dont appear to have a folder for either /etc/hosts or etc/hostname? [22:55] DasEi & aarcane: I can't just disable/remove it, remember its not my system, its a client's [22:55] DasEi: i'll try bum first [22:55] i'm having an issue, my mouse cursor has disappeared and I can't get it back [22:55] not even with a restart [22:55] iflema: There's language > time zone > keyboard layout > prepare disk space > install [22:55] I'm on 9.10 trying to connect to my wifi network with WPA-2 PSK/AES. Keep seeing this - applet network manager applet /user/bin/nm-applet ubuntu 9.10 wants access to the default keyring... but its not accpeting the password. Is there a way to clear the password out? [22:56] Trek: your CLIENT wants it to not start automatically, so disable the service using bum. your client can still start it manually. [22:56] stewartdenton: /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname are files, not folders [22:56] stewartdenton: nah /etc/ is the only folder, "hosts" and "hostname" are config files. you can open them by hitting alt+f2 and typing "gedit /etc/hosts" etc [22:57] ah thanks, one moment [22:57] Is there a way to find out which installed package owns a file on the filesystem? [22:57] aarcane & DasEi: Well, bum isn't helping much... specifically it won't let me mess with the boot script [22:58] loops: See -S in dpkg(8) [22:58] loops: dpkg -S /path/to/file [22:58] aarcane & DasEi: its saying "you need deep knowledge to mess with it" and it doesn't show up as a service either [22:58] its kind of a really big and annoying issue, I have google'd for it but haven't found a solution or a case like mine, my mouse cursor just disappeared and I can't get it back [22:58] help please [22:58] Trek you should find fs there if its autostarted [22:58] actually, (1) [22:58] loops: you can use apt-file to search in packages for a specific file.. but I don't think there is a way to find out which package installed a particular file on your system [22:58] AJ_Z0-, trism that doesn't seem to restrict itself to installed packages only.. or am i wrong? [22:58] Will Ubuntu warn me before my HDD dies so that I can buy a new one and transfer the data over? [22:59] Slart, okay thx [22:59] loops: I think some files even come included in several packages [22:59] ekristen: what happens if you restart X? do you get the mouse cursor back? [22:59] DasEi: i'm not certain its continually autostarted. What it says on boot (ctrl-alt-f1) is Loading the Firestarter Firewall... failed [22:59] NoobUser: it's warned me twice on two hard-drives. [22:59] NoobUser: i don't think any os can "warn" you [22:59] loops: that should only be installed packages, if you want ones that aren't installed, you need to use apt-file [22:59] NoobUser: that's not really how any OS should work, that's why backup exists :) usually it can tell you though [22:59] Panzerboy: I have restarted multiple times but I can try again [22:59] DasEi: the client want it to not even try to load firestarter [22:59] daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/360323/ [22:59] daftykins: I'm too poor to afford backup. :( [22:59] DasEi: they already load manually after login [22:59] loops: I'm not AJ_Z0, but it is restricted to installed packages. I don't know the equivalent of "yum whatprovides" for Debian [22:59] aarcane: And they failed soon after? [22:59] Panzerboy: whats the best way to restart X on ubuntu? [22:59] I'll just try that [22:59] NoobUser, not sure but it does run fsck every x number of reboots, i would advise you to let this run rather than pressing esc to quite (would people agree) [23:00] AJC_Z0, sorry bout that/thanks [23:00] ekristen, if its before 9.04 then ctrl-alt-backspce [23:00] NoobUser: no, I replaced them as soon as they warned so that they wouldn't fail. then I wiped them and sent them back for RMA. [23:00] ekristen: ctrl + alt + backspace [23:00] nwbnhlp here where it says manual.... http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MfwRx_4ERx8/Sa6_M2URLeI/AAAAAAAAAxA/rEcbk5uSrhA/s400/ubuntu-partition-8-all.jpg [23:00] zleap: I always let it run. I'm talking about HDD failue, not filesystem failure. [23:00] stewartdenton: which ubuntu is this? [23:00] i would assume [23:00] if its 9.04 and above you can't do this, unless you enable it [23:00] zleap: how do I enable it? [23:00] I am 9.04 [23:00] aarcane: Ah, nice. :) [23:00] erm [23:00] 9.10 [23:00] not sure off hand [23:00] DasEi: this is the error that pops up: http://paste.ubuntu.com/360326/ [23:00] NoobUser, i guess if a hdd makes lots of horrible creaking noises that could be a start [23:00] aarcane: So I'm allowed to send my HDD back to the manufacturer if SMART finds a problem? [23:00] zleap and ekristen: i think you have to manually edit xorg.conf [23:01] er, I am 9.10 [23:01] if i recall correctly [23:01] hrm [23:01] NoobUser: if it's under warranty still, then sure. [23:01] to enable ctrl + alt + backspace [23:01] Trek, that will be rc.d then [23:01] NoobUser: you just contact them using their web form, most of them have an option to enter your drive serial no. and find out if it's eligible. [23:01] daftykins: 9.10 [23:01] DasEi: how do I go about editing that without nuking my system in the process? [23:02] http://chrisjohnston.org/2009/re-enable-ctrl-alt-backspace-904 [23:02] DasEi: and nuking = damaging [23:02] that should do it, [23:02] off to bed, it's midnight :) [23:02] /join #linux.conf.au.renouf2 [23:02] nighty night [23:02] paperboy any plans to have a simple check box for that [23:02] yeah my cursor is even missing at the login screen [23:02] any ideas? [23:03] stewartdenton: hrmm the content of those two files is totally wrong D: it's missing stuff i'd expect to see to make things work [23:03] second question, i've installed a kernel--.deb file, yet update-grub doesn't add it to menu..any hints? [23:03] ekristen: stupid q: is the mouse plugged in? [23:03] ekristen: is it a usb mouse? [23:03] daftykins: any ideas of a way to update/fix them? [23:03] it is and it actually works ;) [23:03] I just have to guess where the cursor is at [23:03] it's just that the cursor is missing? [23:03] lol [23:03] stewartdenton: did you literally just install 9.10 (server is it?) a minute ago? [23:03] that must take a lot of skills :) [23:03] Panzerboy: yeah its a really annoying problem [23:03] indeed [23:04] I'm on 9.10 trying to connect to my wifi network with WPA-2 PSK/AES. Keep seeing this - applet network manager applet /user/bin/nm-applet ubuntu 9.10 wants access to the default keyring... but its not accpeting the password. Is there a way to clear the password out? [23:04] ekristen: good luck man, sorry but i can't really help you [23:04] I have installed oss, but now where is the sound preferences? how do I choose audio devices? [23:04] thanks [23:04] I have been using it for a few weeks now, but just started setting up the ispcp for it [23:04] anyone else have an idea why my mouse is working but the cursor is missing?! [23:04] Does anyone know how to see all blocked contacts in i.e pidgin or emsene? Like in Windows Live messenger? I can only see a few in linux but alot in windows [23:05] stewartdenton: hrmm so can you actually run sudo with anything? try er, "sudo nano /etc/hosts" and see if a text editor opens in the terminal window [23:05] DasEi: any idea on how to edit rc.d without killing by system? [23:05] hey [23:05] how can i get certain text mimes to not show text preview? [23:05] jolaren, you need to select, show offline buddies [23:05] like the /x-todo [23:05] or x-license [23:05] is anybody over there? [23:05] loops; oh, and they are marked with a blocked img or what? [23:05] is anybody over there? [23:06] daftykins: I have been using sudo quite a bit, but may have messed something up along the way :( [23:06] jolaren, not sure what you mean.. it's just on the menu Show -> Offline Buddies [23:06] stewartdenton: ah ;x i know how to fix it but you'd have to do all sorts of tedious stuff with a livecd to sorta recover it, so i'd recommend just reinstalling to start with [23:06] loops; I mean blocked contacts.. [23:07] is anybody over there? [23:07] jolaren, sorry can't help on that one [23:07] yeah, it appears I have squashed sudo :( cannot even sudo -s any more? [23:07] anyone want to help me with rc.d editing so I don't nuke my system in the process? [23:07] zzzxzzz: stop saying that, what's wrong? [23:07] loops, - getin some dozzies today :) [23:07] stewartdenton: yeah something has edited the hosts and hostname file and broken sudo :S [23:07] Trek: whats up? [23:08] stewartdenton: possibly that script! only a guess though ;) [23:08] iflema: now i get a "no root filesystem defined" error [23:08] silverraindog: I kinda need to know how to edit rc.d so I can prevent the system from attempting to load Firestarter firewall during bootup [23:08] pre-login [23:08] daftykins: I would prefer to run a recovery if possible since I have already setup quite a few things on this machine [23:08] i just had a question and nobody answered [23:08] is there a way to quickly remove duplicate songs from banshee? [23:08] whats the ? zzzzzzzz [23:09] nwbnhlp are you looking to split-up into several partitions or just the two... one for / (root) and one 4 swap? [23:09] daftykins: Do you know of a link describing the recovery process? [23:09] zzzxzzz, - what you need [23:09] zzzxzzz: i don't remember seeing you ask a quesiton, and I"m quite observant [23:10] can i install ubuntu with windows 7? [23:10] iflema: i just want to install to one partition (use a swap file) [23:10] andruk: yes, but you need to install Win7 first then Ubuntu second [23:10] I'm aggregating logs with syslog, but lines show the ip of the host. do I need to fix the sending syslog instance, or how the server determines host names? [23:10] Trek: so, grub 2 (ubuntu 9.10) wont erase windows 7, and it will automatically handle windows 7 booting? [23:11] what are some good keyboard shortcuts to Add [23:11] It seems like an amazing feature but I just can't think of what commands I should link [23:11] Trek, apart from deeper looks in /etc/firestarter/firewall and other, why not just run firestarter stop at bootup ? [23:11] stewartdenton: nah sorry, i just booted the server CD again and chose some kinda recovery that gave me a prompt, then i fixed /etc/hosts to say "127.0.0.1 localhost" "127.1.0.1 - computername" etc etc [23:12] Trek: why are you wanting to prevent it from starting ? [23:12] daftykins: thanks for your help. I am going to try my best before I redo this thing lol [23:12] ok :) no problem [23:12] silverraindog: a client wants it to stop trying to load it [23:12] it looks to me that installing from the dvd takes much longer than installing from a cd, when the iso is mounted and you're installing in a vm. Can someone confirm or deny this, and preferably explain why I feel this way? [23:12] silverraindog: they actually say they don't like seeing "failed' in the boot logs [23:13] iflem: THE ERROR IS when i click "Forward" in the partitioner [23:13] DasEi: it would be useful to know how to do that, I'm not super-fluent in Linux yet [23:13] nwbnhlp swap should be larger than ya physical ram.... say double... and the larger one will be the root partition or / . [23:13] XiXaQ: which virtualisation software? i've not really seen any differences between DVD and CD images with vmware [23:14] nwbnhlp te root partiotn will want a mount point and that is / [23:14] Trek, - ya i asked the zzz guy also what he needed and he never answered [23:14] hello [23:14] hiexpo: i noticed that, i guess maybe he's a troll-ish user? [23:14] lol [23:14] there is any from PL [23:14] daftykins, I'm using vbox right now. But at the end of the install, it removes lots of language spesific things, like italian openoffice. I wonder if more of that is available on the dvd, and that it is the reason? [23:15] i'll figure out the rc.d thing later [23:15] new issue: [23:15] is there a way to make changes to iptables persistent? [23:15] as in so it doesn't reset after reboot? [23:16] i'm not using ufw or any other gui, i'm talking strictly command line [23:16] Trek: install chkconfig and do chkconfig --del firestarter [23:16] !list [23:16] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [23:16] XiXaQ: oh i see yes, i have seen that kind of thing on the 9.10 install, i'd imagine you're right yeah. [23:16] Trek: they are per default, unless you run such as firestarter, ufw is simple for that [23:16] Trek: you can do iptables-save ? [23:16] daftykins, ah.. You're right. I don't think it was this way before 9.10. [23:16] ciao [23:16] Trek: i mean after making the change [23:17] !list [23:17] silverraindog: i'm only just starting to learn iptables, following bohdi.zazen's iptables tutorial from the ubuntuforums, and following the ubuntuwiki instructions [23:18] hello fellow ubuntuers === Guest6810 is now known as CoJaBo-Aztec [23:18] I have a question [23:18] silberraindog: but they don't explicitly explain how to make them persistient [23:18] silverraindog: but they don't explicitly explain how to make them persistient [23:18] anyone know how to change the boot time hostname on karmic when you're using dhclient? [23:18] wow, I can't spell today [23:18] on jaunty, I used to just write a name in /etc/hostname [23:18] evening folks [23:18] Alt F2 doesn't work for me, and it's set in the keyboard shortcuts for the usual thing [23:18] and put this in dhclient.conf [23:18] request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers, ntp-servers, domain-name-servers; [23:19] but doesn't seem to work in karmic [23:19] Royall: try ctrl+alt+f2 [23:19] Trek: do iptables -L and see if there is line for logging if so, take it out ? [23:20] XiXaQ: i find because i have a slow Internet connection it takes longer because of the language pack downloads too [23:20] hi!111111111 [23:20] XiXaQ: so VM installs without a connection install quicker :D [23:20] daftykins, ah.. [23:20] I have install oss4 but now I don't know how to see and choose audio devices. how do I do that? [23:20] hi ! [23:21] oss? Isn't that dead?

[23:36] !torrents | ubuntu [23:36] thx :)) [23:36] ubuntu: Karmic can be torrented from http://hr.releases.ubuntu.com/9.10/ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso.torrent or http://se.releases.ubuntu.com/9.10/ubuntu-9.10-server-amd64.iso.torrent depending on your architecture. Torrents for other Ubuntu flavours can be found at: http://it.releases.ubuntu.com/ (CD) or http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases (DVD). [23:36] cirodiazvelez: yes, a lot , see http://www.ubuntu.com/news/netbook-remix [23:36] I know the devs have always waited for the next distro to update Ubuntu, but there's still a few months until Lucid comes around, so I'm curious. [23:36] russianzilla, unlikely, the next release is only a couple of months away [23:36] russianzilla: major changes such as new firefox versions usually get added as a package called their codename and won't be default until the next release [23:37] Hey can someone help me get Firefox to work? I'm dead serious -- my Firefox will NOT start. I tried removing the .parentlock file from my Firefox profile directory and it did nothing. The error I get is "Attempting to load libmoonloaderxpi Segmentation fault (core dumped)". [23:37] Pelo, daftykins: Alright, I guess I'll just go for Ubuntuzilla then. Thanks! [23:37] e.g. firefox 3.5 was called "shiretoko" in 9.04 [23:37] russianzilla, that happened in 8.04 because it was the lts [23:37] thx a lot [23:37] aliendude3500: you tried running it with the profile manager switch? [23:38] aliendude3500: or deleting your profile entirely? [23:38] aliendude3500, sudo apt-get remove --purge firefox && sudo apt-get install firefox [23:38] daftykins, no, I deleted the lock files in my profile, and deleted the extensions data. I also completely removed firefox (not with purge -- I like my bookmarks) and reinstalled it with --reinstall. [23:39] aliendude3500: just make a backup. [23:39] aliendude3500, purge will not remove your bookmarks, purge does not mess wit the stuff in /home [23:40] Pelo, in that case, I'll repeat the process with purge. [23:40] holas [23:40] hola [23:40] just purged firefox, going to reinstall now. [23:40] hey can anyone tell me how to change my desktop resolution in the GNOME desktop environment? [23:40] also holaaaa [23:40] Hi guys [23:41] purging and reinstalling firefox did NOT fix the problem. [23:41] Zeffr, menu > system > prefs > appearance or some such [23:41] same error message. [23:41] I'm having troubles getting my wireless (b43) working... [23:41] It was working on hardy, but since I upgraded to karmic it no longer works [23:41] aliendude3500, do a search for the file mentionned in the error msg [23:41] libmoonloaderxpi [23:41] Documentation says everything is integrated, driver is installed and running, but couldn't activate my wireless device [23:41] whats that for? [23:41] getting SOCIOFLAG unknown error 132 [23:41] any tips ? [23:41] aliendude3500, no idea but maybe that's what needs fixing [23:42] aliendude3500, did you google the error msg ? [23:42] guys is their any network monitoring software for ubuntu [23:42] Pelo, kinda hard without firefox... :/ [23:43] i want to see which app is using the network [23:43] aliendude3500, good point, sudo apt-get install epiphany-browser [23:43] I was just about to do that... 0.o [23:43] k -- epiphany is set up... [23:43] aliendude3500, you might also want to ask in #firefox [23:44] hello, im new to ubuntu... and i need some help [23:44] mathew: go on [23:44] mathew, hello we'Re old to ubuntu and we can'T read you mind, we need you to state the problem [23:44] Palo, the file is part of Novell's moonlight plugin. Do you have any idea where that is stored? I think deleting it will fix my problem. [23:45] well this is my first OS aside from windows, and im having alot of trouble with my display [23:45] Im trying to configure my new LG with Ubuntu but everytime I try and save my new display-settings it says "error can not parse Xconfig" [23:45] like my cursor is tiny, and text size is aswell [23:45] I'm having troubles getting my wireless (b43) working... It was working on hardy, but since I upgraded to karmic it no longer works, Documentation says everything is integrated, driver is installed and running, but couldn't activate my wireless device, getting SOCIOFLAG unknown error 132 [23:45] im having display probems too [23:45] mathew: change your display resolution [23:45] aliendude3500, I'M pretty sure that the plugins are stored somewher in ~/.mozilla/.... but not sure which, investigate on your end and I'll check on mine [23:46] aliendude3500, having troubles with mozilla plugins ? [23:46] anil56554: me? You want me to lower it on the tv, it seems more like if it cant write to the Xconfig-file [23:46] if so, run firefox in safe mode [23:46] i tried that.. but it really makes my screen look poor, like dull and bad graphics [23:46] Palo. found it -- under /extensions/moonlight@novel.com/ [23:46] gonna delete that now... [23:46] aliendude3500, best of luck [23:46] if I buy an external DVD-RW drive (USB) will it 'just work'? [23:47] And it works!!! [23:47] aliendude3500, congradulations [23:47] ddoom, mine did :) [23:47] So this room is for generic discussion or just support? [23:47] jiohdi: cool, thanks [23:47] mathew: install drivers for your graphics card [23:47] ddoom, I bought a toshiba and put it on an acer revo running UNR [23:47] hrmm -- was there a moonlight update or something? I cant see why moonlight would break firefox... [23:47] how do i install the drivers? [23:47] hi. any ppa for Firefox 3.6? not for daily, for release... [23:48] cirodiazvelez, which dirver ? [23:48] i'll try that, my friend told me it is a complicated process to install drivers on ubuntu though [23:48] cirodiazvelez: drivers are part of the kernel you do not install them === trumpen` is now known as trumpen [23:48] curious, is there driver support and software available to be able to read and burn bluray-rw discs? (not play bluray video necessarily) [23:48] david605, [23:48] read the topic [23:48] Anyone know when Firefox 3.6 will be packaged for Lucid? [23:49] but i dont have my display drivers and i cant change the display resolution =( [23:49] cirodiazvelez, look in menu > system > admin > restricted driver manager [23:49] well hello thar [23:50] hello [23:50] so this is support for ubuntu? [23:50] ubuntites [23:50] yeah [23:51] david605, this is ubuntu support , what can we help you with ? [23:51] lot of good help in these parts. [23:51] ok thanks, im new to IRC so im still learning :D [23:51] good stuff [23:51] irc takes some gettin use to. [23:51] david605, you'll learn , we all did [23:52] IRC is really easy to learn. I used to use irssi, but due to laziness, I now use XChat. I still use irssi when I can't boot into an Xserver though. [23:52] Hello [23:52] is firefox going to be updated to 3.6 in ubuntu 9.10 ? [23:52] irssi rocks [23:52] i keep hearing about xchat [23:52] Think of it as a "chat room". [23:52] Black_Phantom: I doubt it. [23:52] uh-oh we need a factoid about FF [23:52] what's a really good console-based ftp client? [23:52] Black_Phantom: it might get added as a separate package called its' codename [23:53] * Pelo uses irssi to idle in bonus point channels [23:53] as Shiretoko was FF 3.5 in jaunty [23:53] do you advice installing it from the website ? [23:53] nftp/lftp [23:53] Black_Phantom, I hope it does, but you can just untar the archive and run the firefox file for now... [23:53] I will see what I can do. [23:53] Thanks [23:53] ok, weird problem. I am using a cheap normal usb keyboard and 99% of the keys work fine however certain keys are both sluggish or spitting out incorrect characters. Im using the latest kubuntu. I checked to make sure that the keyboard mapping is correct [23:53] Until there is an official package there's no need to install it. The difference is not very noticable. [23:54] aliendude3500, I agree. [23:54] I will use Chrome, its even better [23:54] double quotes are an example, I know the keyboard is fine cause I use it in windows regularly [23:54] sometimes my keys stop working [23:54] ulb: thx [23:55] Black_Phantom, Chrome is ok, but it has crappy extension support, and barely any browser settings that power users like myself appreciate. [23:55] but its faster [23:55] queso, firefox does a good job too btw [23:55] ¨ instead of " [23:55] the java rendering [23:55] im not sure why that is occuring [23:55] Black_Phantom, Opera 10.5 is faster than chrome. [23:55] anyone know? [23:56] queso: np [23:56] aliendude3500, ye [23:56] first it says looking for drivers and after that is an empty list wiouth any driver [23:56] =( [23:56] aliendude3500, what about 10.10 ? [23:56] what can i do [23:56] aliendude3500, but opera is fugly [23:56] huhlig, how cheap is the keyboard? I've seen $10 keyboards work flawlessly under Linux (admittedly I'm using a $65 keyboard). [23:56] jiohdi: firefox isn't console :p [23:56] later folks , gotto go [23:56] aliendude3500, its an HP model [23:56] hey for some reason my mouse is not as smooth on ubuntu compared to windows, anyone els having this issue? [23:57] came with my laptop [23:57] jiohdi: I want something I can keep in a screen session [23:57] Black_Phantom, probably faster than 10.5 I'd assume... [23:57] using it on a miniitx system [23:57] !opera [23:57] Opera is an advanced, fast and free (as in beer) web browser. It is packaged for easy installation into Ubuntu. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser [23:57] -.- [23:57] queso sorry, I dont speak tech that fluently I now have no idea what you mean :) [23:57] is there a way to quickly remove duplicate songs from banshee? [23:57] 5th time [23:58] !firefox [23:58] firefox is the default web-browser on Ubuntu. To install the latest version, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion Installing plugins: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxPlugins - See also !firefox-3.5 [23:58] huhlig, are you sure the keys are mapped right? [23:58] jiohdi: no prob ;) [23:58] aliendude3500, no. I checked the kde regional keyboard mapping and it says it is [23:58] huhlig, open a terminal and type "setxkbmap us"/ [23:59] ahah! [23:59] so kde has fscked up my settings [23:59] how do I fix that [23:59] wha about IE ? jk [23:59] how do i tell if im on a linux 32, or 64 bit [23:59] ? [23:59] huhlig, I don't use KDE. Sorry...
