[00:01] is anyone familiar with bash shell scripting? [00:01] danny__, I am, somewhat... [00:01] im on an 11.6 acer one model AO751H [00:02] cirodiazvelez, that doesn't tell me anything about your graphics card. Can you post the output of "sudo lshw" in the terminal? [00:02] do you mind if you help me figure out how to write this one script..its really not to hard but its been awhile since I've dealt with shell scripting.. [00:02] OK THANKS LET ME SEE [00:02] danny__, what do you need the script to do? [00:03] Hi, I'm using google chrome, and I am getting this odd error about a revoked certificate [00:03] http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=16773 [00:03] Does anybody here know why? [00:04] flootenkerp, check on a chrome specific IRC channel, you probably won't get help here. [00:04] i can't find 256MB NVIDIA GeForce Go 7900 GS drivers for ubuntu [00:04] ok, thanks aliendude [00:04] aliendude3500 *-display UNCLAIMED [00:04] description: VGA compatible controller [00:04] product: System Controller Hub (SCH Poulsbo) Graphics Controller [00:04] vendor: Intel Corporation [00:04] physical id: 2 [00:04] cirodiazvelez: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:04] bus info: pci@0000:00:02.0 [00:05] mathew, the open source noveau drivers should be plenty... [00:05] I have to write a script that requires one input argument. The script should print out a USAGE statement with a non-zero exit code. When the argument (number 1-6) is entered..the script should output...THE PROCESS ID FOR THE MINGETTY ON TTY# IS #### (where tty# represents the terminal # entered, and #### is the process id number. [00:05] mathew you shouldnt need specific drivers for that gpu [00:05] how do i do that aliendude? [00:06] i really have no clue what im doing, im used to windows [00:06] welcome to linux === floops is now known as Floops [00:06] hahaha thanks, i like it alot more already [00:06] mathew, if you have the latest updates, you probably already have open source nvidia drivers installed. [00:06] hi [00:06] mathew what are you actually trying to do? [00:07] is there a way to unlock the default keyring automatically on bootup? [00:07] yeah, but everything is effed up, like my facebook page is soo retared [00:07] ribot, make sure your keyring's password and your login password are the same [00:07] hello everyone [00:07] hey everyone [00:07] mathew, try this "sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-nouveau" in the terminal. I don't even have an nvidia card, but that might work for you. [00:07] alliendude3500 i just send u the info [00:07] evening folks. ran into a little UI issue. i was fooling with compiz and enabled its fancy window switcher, and when i turned effects back off... no more of the regular window switcher.. [00:07] well i just threw linux on here yesterday out of the blue, but my display is messed up [00:08] ribot: blank the keyring password or set the keyring password to your login password and turn off auto login [00:08] unop they are the same, yet it doesnt happen.. i even installed this libpam keyring [00:08] ugh, screw it. i am not going to get an answer, so its time to /quit [00:08] would anyone know a program i could use to play avi file extensions? [00:08] rww i need to be able to boot it remotely [00:08] mathew how is your display messed up exactly? [00:08] cirodiazvelez, hmm... Intel cards are generally very well supported on Linux. Do you have the latest system updates? [00:08] i was wondring about rythmbox, i can't get it to copy files i import to my music folder. is there any way to set it to copy files into its library folder whien importing? [00:08] ribot, ahh so you have a passwordless login? [00:08] ribot: there is no way of automatically unlocking the keyring password without providing that password at some point. [00:08] like my cursor is tiny, all the text on my browser is small, and if i enlargen the text it gets jumbled up [00:09] ok well, is there a way to enter that password from ssh? [00:09] ribot: if you need to autologin and automatically unlock the keyring, the keyring password has to be blank. [00:09] good evening everone [00:09] yes man.. i jusst run the update =( what can i do [00:09] not that I know of [00:09] plus the chat at the bottom of my face book is SOOO small [00:09] whats your screens resolution? [00:09] mathew: maybe you just have a reallly high resolution display lol... what kind of graphics card do u have? [00:09] or i just need the wlan to activate automatically [00:09] doesnaybody here have an Asus eee box, and, if so, what version of ubuntu are you running on it? I was thinking of getting one as a small webserver. [00:09] cirodiazvelez, did you try changing the resolution using System > Preferences > Display? [00:09] i was wondring about rythmbox, i can't get it to copy files i import to my music folder. is there any way to set it to copy files into its library folder whien importing? [00:10] 1920x1200 but if i make it smaller the graphics look terrible and dull [00:10] can anyone help me install a plug in? how do i install plugins like autumn leaves and screensaver? [00:10] matew: what kind of graphics card do u hav? like, intel, ati, nvidia, or what? [00:11] danny__, that is a pretty complicated script, sorry, I don't have the time to write something that large... I thought you just needed a bit of syntax help... [00:11] Hey, does anyone know how to force a resolution on a display so that it either scrolls or stretches it? it works in windows, I've tried xorg and xrandr to no avail [00:11] I have intel intergrated graphics. [00:11] frostbite7, If I'm right, you want to install screensavers? [00:11] 256MB NVIDIA GeForce Go 7900 [00:12] do you mind if I send you what I have so far and you can help me tweak it a bit? [00:12] allien dude yes it only give me one option of screen resolution...} [00:12] frostbite7, typing "sudo apt-get install screensaver\*" in the terminal should give you a pretty large collection of screensavers. [00:12] no. i want to install plugins like the snow plugins, cube atlantis, autumn leaves, and bubbles [00:12] lol but thanks for that info to :-) [00:12] 256MB NVIDIA GeForce Go 7900 GS ubuntu fish [00:13] frostbite7, you mean desktop effects? Do you have Compiz enabled? [00:13] matew: do u have the proprietary driver installed? [00:13] yes i do [00:13] Hey, does anyone know how to force a resolution on a display so that it either scrolls or stretches it? it works in windows, I've tried xorg and xrandr to no avail [00:13] hi [00:13] idk, i went to hardware drivers and it said it was up to date [00:13] ubuntu-desktop === Charlie is now known as Guest23519 [00:13] just uninstalled everything in synaptic because i wanted it all clean [00:14] I am now on command based ubuntu like server [00:14] ribot, you can use things like the interfaces file or wpasupplicant to start wireless [00:14] Can someone tell me how i install just the gnome interface? [00:14] matew: there should be an option for like nvidia drivers, proprietary drivers, something like that. you can check that off, and it will install a driver made by nvidia and then ask you to restart. it might help, if anything you will get better performance. [00:14] ribot, that way you don't have to depend on having a user logging on to have wireless enabled [00:14] i'll check now... [00:14] Guest23519, I believe, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [00:15] frostbite7, you can change most compiz settings with compizconfig settings manager... I think the package is something like ccsm. [00:15] I like to install from a minimal cd and just add what I need. [00:15] Guest23519, I'll have to have a look, unless you want to try it [00:15] thank you aliendude3500 [00:15] will it install all the other default application come with the apt-get install ubuntu-desktop? [00:15] Guest23519, it would be ubuntu-desktop, yes [00:16] Guest23519, yes, it will [00:16] can somebody please tell me how to fix my partitions under ubuntu? [00:16] I will appreciate it [00:16] unop can i start it even without x then? got a link to this thing? [00:16] TroN-0074, What is wrong with them? [00:16] its says that there are no proprietary drivers in use on this system [00:16] matew: ok. that probably isn't the problem but it might be [00:16] I have a doul boot with two copies of ubuntu I just want to removee one [00:16] but isn't there a way to just install the interface without having to get all the programs like firefox, openoffice, pidgin and so on? [00:17] well i have no clue what to do [00:17] lmfao [00:17] ribot, what do you use as the encryption scheme for wireless? WPA or WEP? [00:17] matew: u said b4 that u just like recently "threw it on" your computer, is it like fully installed? or was that someone else? [00:17] TroN-0074, Do you know which one is doing the booting? [00:17] hey aliendude3500 did you get what I sent you? [00:17] unop: wpa [00:17] one I mess up the Xorg.conf so I installed it again and I didnt click to use the entired disck [00:17] i fully installed it, like reformated and everything [00:18] TroN-0074, Is there WIndoze? [00:18] ribot, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo [00:18] I have 8.10 doing the boot, 9.04 has the xorg.conf messed up [00:18] thanks unop [00:18] Guest23519, try, sudo apt-get install x-window-system-core [00:18] matew: ok good that is the cool thing to do. and makes things simpler. welcome to ubuntu btw === j is now known as Guest37928 [00:19] I do not have windows installed [00:19] TroN-0074, So, 8.10 was installed 2nd and it is the one you want to keep? [00:19] thanks lmfao, like i said this is my first OS aside from windows [00:19] mathew, Good luck! [00:19] yes I want 8.10 [00:19] danny__, yeah, I replied. === infid_ is now known as infid [00:19] matew: nice. well too bad you have to start off right away with problems [00:19] 9.04 does not work well with my grapich card [00:20] do you know where i can find these packages aliendude3500 [00:20] yeah... its alot simpler i think so far... other than the issues lol [00:20] ? [00:20] TroN-0074, When you installed 9.04 you used entire disk? Can you pastebin the output of 'fdisk -l', please? [00:20] btw thanks kyle === iqbal is now known as Iqbal|Ubuntu [00:21] mathew, no problems =] [00:21] yes one sec [00:21] When will next LTS support be available for download? [00:21] so do you have any ideas ubuntu fish? [00:21] can a windows codec be used with 8.04 [00:22] cdw32, Check Medibuntu [00:22] frostbite7, hold on, I'm trying to help 4 people at once lol [00:22] alright, i probly shouldnt do this on an irc channel, but heres a link to a screenshot i just took of my hardware drivers page http://bit.ly/8XIBBP [00:22] Hey, does anyone know how to force a resolution on a display so that it either scrolls or stretches it? it works in windows, I've tried xorg and xrandr to no avail [00:22] @chavez-laptop:~$ fdisk -l [00:22] Cannot open /dev/sda [00:22] * kyle6513 steals UbuntuFish's hardware ;D [00:22] Is "Xubuntu" EXACTLY the same thing as Ubuntu? Without the xfce instead of gnome of course [00:23] :-0 no problem thanks again for going out of your way to help me in the first place. i appreciate it [00:23] kyle6513: rawr, must defend computer [00:23] UbuntuFish, xD [00:23] Lungan_, more or less, looks different though. [00:23] Lungan_: with xfce instead of gnome [00:23] lungan: pretty much. its good if regular ubuntu is too slow [00:23] tweaksource this is what I got @chavez-laptop:~$ fdisk -l [00:23] Cannot open /dev/sda [00:23] TroN-0074, That's it? [00:23] yeah... i have nothing like that it says no proprietary drivers in use on this system [00:24] yes [00:24] weird [00:24] Yeah but xfce seems like a really nice windowmanager [00:24] matew: so theres no option to install nvidia? ok i should probably stop obsessing with drivers [00:24] How can I find what's stopping my drive from unmounting? lsof | grep /media/ isn't returning anything. [00:24] Lungan_: meaning that certain configuration utilities and settings managment is different but the under the hood its the same [00:24] Can anyone help me setting up my laptop to display 1024x768 instead of 1024x600? intel graphics on eeepc [00:24] yeah.. nothing its all blank... [00:24] TroN-0074, Do you have gparted installed? [00:25] TroN-0074, or a live cd? [00:25] kyle6513, can your eepc even support that resolution? [00:25] I have the installation CD [00:25] Lungan_: xfce is a whole desktop environment, if you want the best window manager ever, get openbox [00:25] unop, does under windows. it just stretches the display [00:25] TroN-0074, Is it Live CD or alternate install? [00:25] matew: too bad. btw, u r using karmic, right? [00:25] !best | arghh2d2 [00:25] arghh2d2: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [00:25] arghh2d2, openbox, is it hard to learn? is it fast? [00:26] pfftt idk im using ubuntu 9.10 thats all i know [00:26] Live CD I believe. the first time I booted ubuntu from the CD [00:26] i seem to have wpa_supplicant installed, but there is no such file /etc/wpa_supplicant -- however there is a folder /etc/wpa_supplicant without any conf file [00:26] mathew, karmic is the code name for 9.10 so yes :P [00:26] Lungan_: its fast and configuring is pretty easy once your used to it [00:26] then yes lmfao [00:26] mathew, :P [00:27] thanks kyle.. again lol [00:27] openbox looks kind of meh [00:27] TroN-0074, Your best bet would be to 1. Backup 2. Boot live cd 3. Delete 9.04 partition 4. move everything else if you wish. [00:27] ribot: If you're trying to configure wireless from the command-line, just use /etc/network/interfaces === LeNsTR is now known as LeNsTR|Sleep [00:27] mathew, hey no problems, I'm still learning like you :) [00:27] arghh2d2, I've used fluxbox, but find it pretty hard to learn to have the full benefit of the windowmanager, is openbox easier? [00:27] ok... is everything like small but clear? or small and "crunchy" if you know what i mean [00:27] UbuntuFish, hey, if you're looking for speed, who cares about looks? [00:27] TroN-0074, If you don't NEED to remove 9.04, but just don't want it in the boot menu, you can remove the entry from menu.lst [00:28] small and clear... but tiny [00:28] yeah deleting 9.04 would be my chooise but I dont know how to identify that partition [00:28] kyle6513: yeah, but im a huge sucker for visual fx [00:28] Lungan_: it's fast as balls...it starts out just a blank screen and a menu but you can customize it with light accessories like tint2 panel and rox file manager keeping it fast fast fast... if your not into building yourself tho your better off with xfce or lxde [00:28] UbuntuFish, you're not alone, im lucky my little eeepc has atleast 256 built in video memory ;D [00:28] yeah but I would like to free some memory too. that is why I would like to just get rid of it [00:28] TroN-0074, If you have 1 disk, and it was clean when you installed 9.04 first, then it should be sda1 [00:28] rww: what to write there? [00:29] ribot: I assume you're using WPA? [00:29] arghh2d2, Yeah, but how does openbox differ from fluxbox? [00:29] matew: thats really weird. some sort of bug i guess, sorry im not that good. the only thing i can think of is reducing your resolution. hopefully someone smarter than me can think of something [00:29] TroN-0074, It should have only made 1 system partition and a swap [00:29] kyle6513, if you don't carte about looks, and just want speed, use Xmonad. :P [00:29] rww yes [00:29] Lungan_: a little bit faster, different config file formats...openbox uses .xml [00:29] well if i shrink my resolution everything gets dull [00:30] mathew, could you try running xrandr in a terminal and put the output in a pastebin and give me the link? [00:30] can you please tell me how to do it? [00:30] kyle6513: how did u get an eeepc with video memory? im guessing you also go crazy with compiz [00:30] UbuntuFish, I have the eeepc 1000H, and yes, i <3 compiz xD [00:30] matew: sorry, im actually a bit of a noob myself, if i think of anything myself i;ll let you know [00:30] arghh2d2, okok,maybe I will try that tomoroww [00:30] thanks [00:30] kyle6513: nice. whats your favorite window animation? [00:31] ribot: http://georgia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202834 is a good tutorial on wireless + /etc/network/interfaces. If you scroll down to "******Sample configuration WPA2 & DHCP, ESSID broadcast enabled****", it has what to put in /etc/network/interfaces [00:31] TroN-0074, Gparted is needed for the easiest route. [00:31] kyle6513: or rather favorite compiz plugin in general [00:31] btw.. whats a good site for downloading music? [00:31] UbuntuFish, didnt really look into that, it tends to slow down when im doing stuff at that point as im mostly running on the powersave, which makes the cpu run at 800mhz [00:31] ***app [00:31] let me look for it one sec [00:31] thans rww [00:31] UbuntuFish, I just use fade, and i love the cube 8D [00:32] Hello peeps. I have a questions: when I connect my ext hdd to my computer and it gets mounted, I get two icons representing the drive. Why is this? [00:32] gparted is installing now [00:32] How can I find what's stopping my drive from unmounting? lsof | grep /media/ isn't returning anything. [00:32] kyle6513: oh yes. one thing that bugs me is: i setup my bottom right corner to clear all the windows off to the side of the desktop, but i can't restore the windows while drag n dropping a file, forcing me to use the cube to get to my desktop [00:33] if that made sense [00:33] o.k I got Gparted [00:33] Ari_Lazarus Are there two partitions or are they both the same [00:33] UbuntuFish, i think i get what you mean xD [00:33] TroN-0074, How many partitions does it show? [00:33] can you please advise on where to go from there [00:33] kyle6513: yeah [00:33] Awesome3000: They are the same drive [00:34] Oh I just installed I havent run it one sec [00:34] anyone know how to configure rythmbox to copy files into its library folder when importing? [00:34] Ari_Lazarus: If you un-mount one do they both go [00:34] Nope [00:34] mathew, did you do what i asked? :S [00:35] Ari_Lazarus: maybe the drive is being mounted twice [00:35] So I should check fstab? [00:35] whats a good... application i guess for downloading music? [00:35] mathew: wget [00:35] FrostWire [00:36] !gnutella | mathew [00:36] mathew: Gnutella clients: GTK-Gnutella (GTK, stand-alone), gifTui, giFToxic (GTK, based on giFT), Apollon (KDE, based on giFT), mldonkey-gui (GTK, based on MLDonkey), KMLDonkey (KDE, based on MLDonkey), !Limewire, !Frostwire (Java, not in the !repositories) - See also !P2P [00:36] mathew: Don't forget torrents. [00:36] mathew: Ubuntu already comes with Transmission - just use any tracker you like [00:36] i used frostwire wheni had windows [00:36] I'm trying to find a good place to download the ubuntu torrent, can anyone recommend some sites? [00:36] anyone know how to configure rythmbox to copy files into its library folder when importing? [00:36] trackers I mean [00:36] brb everyone [00:36] matthew: There is FrostWire for Linux also. [00:37] i never thought of that lmfao [00:37] matthew: lol [00:37] I have problem with ubuntu and wireshark, anyone want to fix it?: http://kwzs.be/~kevin/shark1.txt http://kwzs.be/~kevin/shark2.txt [00:37] xeer: http://www.thepirategoogle.com/ [00:37] Ari_Lazarus: if it's listed there Yes [00:37] UbuntuFish, should be in settings, if not, there would be a plugin somewhere [00:38] what is the best? what would you recommend the most if i had to pick one? [00:38] Nobody knows how to find what's blocking my drive from unmounting? [00:38] I am pretty sure ther eis an option to monitor a specific folde rin rhythmbox options [00:38] how do you manually run sessions manager? what's the command thanks... [00:38] powertool08: use lsof [00:39] meganerd: I did, no results. [00:39] powertool08: lsof or top/htop [00:39] powertool08: how did you use it? [00:39] Awesome3000: I think I know why. It exists in fstab, and when I connect it the drive automounts itself so I get two icons. [00:39] atomfox: gnome-session-properties [00:39] ulb: I tried htop too, the only thing I found was ntfs-3g using it. [00:40] powertool08: thanks for the tip! [00:40] meganerd: lsof | grep and lsof | grep media [00:40] xeer: np [00:40] powertool08: but it doesn't work. [00:40] lol [00:40] VCoolio, thanks ^_^ [00:40] server irc.rizon.net [00:40] Hello. Why won't this xorg.conf file work? http://paste.rohitab.com/1662 [00:40] Ari_Lazarus: That would be it [00:40] hello everybody [00:40] powertool08: are you running wine? [00:40] xeer: Oh, haven't used it in awhile. [00:40] ulb: No. [00:40] so why ntfs-3g then? [00:40] kyle6513: i scoured everywhere, couldnt find anything [00:41] running samba? [00:41] ulb: ntfs-3g is the default way of accessing ntfs partitions these days [00:41] UbuntuFish, dont think its possible, although theres an option to make it scan a folder for changes, maybe use that? [00:41] meganerd: yeah I wondered why he has ntfs with Linux [00:42] powertool08: did you try "sudo lsof |grep kyle6513: i guess. but then it doesnt keep it nice and organized. [00:42] ulb: a lot of USB drives now ship with it [00:42] UbuntuFish, true that, [00:42] anyone here have any experience with 915resolution? [00:42] ulb: Yes, I have samba running. Does it have to be stopped? Or disconnect any old sessions? [00:42] Does anyone have any ideas? [00:42] ulb: ntfsusb hard drives is how I share data with my friends [00:43] kyle6513: i guess it doesnt matter cuz rythmbox organizes it in its ui lol [00:43] UbuntuFish, hah, yeah, i like rythmbox's ui, although, i still wish winamp would get ported [00:43] meganerd: Yes I tried that. [00:43] bought some new dvd-r disc from best buy. $6 for qty 25. that was probably my mistake. i can't seem to make one successful burn of a dvd iso movie. I keep getting PERFORM OPC failed with SK=3h/POWER CALIBRATION AREA ERROR from k3b, brasero, and growisofs from the command line. do I just throw away all the disc? [00:44] Hello everyone! I'm trying to mount an e-reader of Sony(usb connection), this is the result of mount: "mount: block device /dev/sde is write-protected, mounting read-only"...also I read this from /var/log/messages: "kernel: [ 2634.221935] sd 8:0:0:3: [sde] Write Protect is on". What do I have to do to resolve this? Any idea? [00:44] ymn_ayk80: probably a setting on the e-reader itself [00:44] kyle6513: i am na ex-fanboi so itunes is really my preferred interface... speaking of which any idea when 5g ipod nano support is gonna be released for linux? [00:45] Why won't this xorg.conf file work? If anyone has any ideas please query me. http://paste.rohitab.com/1662 [00:45] meganerd: ulb I stopped samba and the only process I can find is /sbin/mount.ntfs-3g, still not unmounting. [00:46] UbuntuFish, no idea, I HATE itunes with a passion, it is the most absolute biggest piece of ^%$& software ever made, but I have no idea, it should be the same as most ipods, like the 4th G, this is for music of course, the video, no idea [00:46] clone1018: your /var/log/Xorg.0.log would help. [00:46] One sec then [00:46] kyle6513: it was my first music organizer so it set the standard for me lol [00:46] clone1018: why are you bothering with xorg.conf? xrandr is capable of making these changes on the fly [00:46] UbuntuFish, If you think thats good, you should try winamp if you ever get windoze back [00:47] i need help with 2 things. starting with my kodak esp-3 all in one printer. doesnt do any thing [00:47] meagnerd is right [00:47] xrandr is cool [00:47] powertool08: how are you unmounting it? [00:47] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m22ee112d [00:47] meganerd: right click and unmount on the desktop icon. === Mowee is now known as Mowee`Bnc [00:47] kyle6513: lol i just recently killed my 'doze partition cuz it was so screwed up [00:47] Where can I find xrandr? [00:48] UbuntuFish, sad thing is, it was probably windows who did that [00:48] powertool08: try unmounting it from the CLI, "sudo umount /media/" [00:48] maybe you have already [00:48] powertool08: have you tried lazy umount (-l)? [00:48] Hello everyone. Anyone that can tell me what the commando line is for to start automatically into ubuntu without typing startx everytime ? [00:48] powertool08: also, what version of Ubuntu is this? Sorry if you posted earlier I just joined the onversation [00:48] kyle6513: well, one time i reinstalled windoze cuz i resized its partition with gparted, which apperantly windows can't handle [00:48] bought some new dvd-r disc from best buy. $6 for qty 25. that was probably my mistake. i can't seem to make one successful burn of a dvd iso movie. I keep getting PERFORM OPC failed with SK=3h/POWER CALIBRATION AREA ERROR from k3b, brasero, and growisofs from the command line. do I just throw away all the disc? [00:48] clone1018: `(==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafe"` --> from the look of it, that log is from an attempt to launch Xorg failsafe, so it didn't use your xorg.conf [00:49] hosoka: it does that by default. What did you do to disable it? [00:49] mazda01: thats a hardware problem. [00:49] ubottu: pm | clone1018 [00:49] clone1018: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [00:49] ulb: Lazy umount did it. [00:49] jrib: it was by default active, it disabled after an upgrade of the system. [00:49] i could see if it was happening on 1 dvd burner, but all 3?? i doubt it [00:49] ;) [00:49] hosoka: assuming you did not make too many significant changes: "sudo update-rc.d gdm defaults" [00:49] UbuntuFish, of course not, why would windows think anyone would turn to linux again? pfff :P [00:49] mazda01: 3? wow... [00:50] hosoka: what update? updates don't do that [00:50] meganerd: The lazy umount did the trick, thanks for the help though. [00:50] jrib: upgrade of the syst. [00:50] ulb: What exactly is lazy umount? [00:50] hosoka: is gdm installed? Did you remove it? [00:50] kyle6513: i hate the condecending "please wait while windows sets up your computer", like wtf i want to set up my computer get out of my box grr [00:50] jrib: let me check that. [00:50] UbuntuFish, hahaha [00:50] man umount (it detatches it from file hierarchy if it is not in use) [00:51] powertool08: I would install the ntfsprogs package, it can be handy to fix ntfs volumes that are marked as dirty [00:51] ulb: Ok, thanks for the help [00:51] meganerd: I'll check that out, thanks again. [00:51] UbuntuFish, I like the fact that windows, while being more primitive and having less ability to customize it, still takes longer than a fully customized linux installation to start up [00:51] sometimes things hang (I have had that issue with USB drives that get polled) [00:51] So anyways how do I use xrandr? [00:51] i have read that before burningh wodim tries to write data to a certain part of the media, if it cant then it will fail. the burner worked fine with my last dvd+r's I tried but this time I bought dvd-r's, super generic ones. yeah, i can't burn an dvd iso on a sony optirac dvd-ram burner, a generic 16x dvd burner or or my NEC burner [00:52] greetings [00:52] !xrandr | clone1018 read this [00:52] clone1018 read this: XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X.

Perhaps that was the case ? [00:52] the old dvd+r's were by phillips. [00:52] worked fine [00:52] kyle653: it is a useful feature [00:52] kyle6513: lol [00:53] UbuntuFish, xD [00:53] Hi, I installed pptpd daemon on my Ubuntu 8.04 and configured the env. Actually all clients can correctly connect to the VPN server but I'd like that they can ping togheter too, is it possibile? [00:54] hello how can i install canon software under linuxmint 8 [00:54] jrb: after upgrading gdm does the syst needs reboot ? [00:54] random curious question, is it possible to setup a cluster computer with ubuntu? [00:54] paul7285: #linuxmint [00:55] !mintsupport [00:55] Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [00:55] hosoka: no [00:56] I was looking only for the commandline for autostart Ubuntu for me not to type startx everytime. [00:56] # as in root [00:56] paul7285: no offense, but canon software sucks, if you really have to, run it under wine. i would suggest using the photo app installed in mint, its gonna be like 1000 times better. and you should really be asking this on the mint channel [00:56] That ubuntu bot is really annoyinh [00:56] annoying [00:56] When going to login screen there is no way for me to unlock it as it turns out grey. [00:56] so no one else is having problems with wodim? [00:57] Knowing that in there is this option to autologin,but there is also a commando line. [00:57] clone1018, well it is kinda important, otherwise this would be flooded with like fedora, mac, windoze, etc users wanting help lol [00:57] hello guys, does anyone have itunes latest version installed on there ubuntu? i need some help installing it [00:57] But I can't even PM someone without him bitching at me [00:57] skullcandy: latest version of ubuntu?

[00:58] no, i' am talking about itunes , either version is fine as long as its isntalled [00:58] How do I(you) get to the mint channel ? I get a program install .exe under wine [00:58] Is this the place to ask for help with firefox-daily-builds? If not, is there an IRC channel I can go to?

[01:14] ly [01:14] ubuntuUserTom, but you'll probably want to do this with a livecd, not while the machine is running your regular OS [01:14] matew: hrm. that is weird. that is a rly small font on frostwire setup.

[02:12] is libgtk2 just impossible to have here [02:12] SirTopHat, that repos is long gone I suspect [02:12] hm [02:12] zetheroo: I'm running opera at the moment [02:12] zetheroo: +1 on chrome, i'm on chromium dev ppa, 10x faster then firefox =] [02:13] web1109: very fast, but on some content still buggy [02:13] * kaolbrec can attest to that [02:13] DasEi: i saw few bad sites, nothing showstopping, you? [02:14] web1109: yes, some "freaky flash /w external players f.e. , or stimes black screen [02:14] ubuntuUserTom: ah, still alive [02:14] how do I install firefox 3.6 release and not a daily build? [02:15] DasEi: out of firefox, epiphany(webkit), midory, links2 (lol) i like chrome best, what do you use? [02:15] myeyespy, is there a 3.6.deb? [02:15] myeyespy: look at heir hp for a deb or source [02:15] anybody know how to get xbox 360 controller working in ubuntu 9+ [02:15] DasEi: Yeah =P Only error I got was a Space Shortage error lol...in root [02:16] web1109: depends on purpose [02:16] DasEi: But....Home has been enlarged [02:16] web1109: chrome,ff,opera, epiphany.. [02:16] DasEi: 85gig now =D I think its just roots a little small? [02:16] ubuntuUserTom: open trml [02:16] DasEi: ok, opened [02:17] ubuntuUserTom: df -h [02:17] DasEi: http://pastebin.com/f55371231 [02:18] DasEi: so um opera is not in standard repos? [02:18] ubuntuUserTom: k, short on root is k for now... , I suggest the following .. [02:18] i have a REALLY weird apache2 permission error that should not even exist!!!!! [02:18] HEEELP!!!!!!!! [02:18] http://www.opera.com/ [02:19] f1lt3r?? [02:19] Out_Cold, i have a 3 directories in root... [02:19] all with the same permissions [02:19] where can i read the changelog for last xorg-core last update? [02:19] which are> [02:19] *? [02:20] and the "javascript" directory says @no permission@ in the browser [02:20] drwxr-xr-x 2 f1lt3r f1lt3r [02:20] so i have /var/ww/js/, /var/www/javascript/, /var/www/test/ [02:20] web1109 http://www.opera.com/browser/download/?os=linux-i386&ver=10.10&local=y [02:20] and the javascript dir is permission denied [02:21] can anyone help me with an ALSA on karmic question? (card is SB X-FI USB)? [02:21] now... here's where it gets really weird Out_Cold [02:21] <_schism_> evening all [02:21] ubuntu doesn't support xbox 360 wired controller...lame [02:21] f1lt3r do you own all 3 folders [02:21] ubuntuUserTom: you still have to delete the old /home, you can do it by (for one reboot) alter fstab back to old status (just put an # in front of last line,reboot) to give the space free to / , but first try not to use any more space in / to see a day if all went well, before killing old one, can delete uneeded packages and o course emty trash [02:21] yeah i do! [02:21] !trash [02:21] The location of Trash has changed since 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash [02:21] charliebrown: why do you say that [02:21] charliebrown: yeah, totally, ubuntu FAIL [02:21] <_schism_> I have an odd problem. My server is booting with an odd error about a users dir not being owned by that user. how do I fix that? [02:22] cuz it doesn't...older kernels do [02:22] but not ubuntu 9+ [02:22] sudo chown f1lt3r www/ -R [02:22] charliebrown: yeah man screw progress! [02:22] from within var [02:22] whats the command to restart GNOME? [02:22] and still 'Forbidden' in localhost/javascript [02:22] DasEi: alright, ill see how it goes. Thanks for your help mate, I really appreciate it! [02:22] ok so opera is a binary blob, is it on its way out from linux or do people really desire it? [02:23] ubuntuUserTom:you now just have about 6 gig for /, but if we delete it know.. its gone forever [02:23] now* [02:23] web1109: opera is still very popular [02:23] http://www.pastebin.org/80025 - does anyone know what im missing to compile this [02:23] f1lt3r, let me get this right. It denies you when you try to open in nautilus or web browser? [02:23] web1109: no, can add an foreign repo for that [02:23] web browser [02:23] Dr_Willis: but it can't be forked, extended and so forth.. so it's gonna get surpassed soon no? [02:23] sdwrage: sudo gdm restart [02:24] f1lt3r, perhaps because the web browser uses a different user to access your folder? [02:24] web1109: it hasent in the last few years... so i dont think so. [02:24] DasEi: are applications installed by default in the root directory, or one of its supfolders? [02:24] which user? [02:24] root? [02:24] f1lt3r, i highly doubt it's root [02:24] web1109: opera still does a lot of innovation and other browsers often take features from it. [02:24] yeah [02:24] well i have 3 identical builds [02:24] web1109: bottom line - use it if you want.. or not. :) [02:24] and it is a problem on 2 [02:24] ubuntuUserTom: yes, not in /home , /usr and its subdirs mainly, also under / [02:25] and the only diff with the working one, is that i never uploaded some website i was working on [02:25] f1lt3r, i would adjust the permissions to 777 just and keep lowering the permissions till you find out what's up [02:25] how can i reset my passwork [02:25] opera FTW, unfortunately i have codependency issues with firefox extensions...opera is awesome [02:25] so i'm guessing that the php fed up something [02:25] Dr_Willis: yea i hear about opera innovating here and there, i'll try it out on test machine [02:25] i tried 777 already :-/ [02:25] hardworkr: still on that ?? [02:25] hardworkr: man passwd [02:25] f1lt3r, no access on 777???? that's no good [02:25] I'd like to create a backup shared drive on my network - got two identical 1TB drives, and was planning to do a software raid1. However, I'd like to be able to recover the data if the computer/system drive itself crashes, and easily move the drives. Would it be better to just rsync the drives every few minutes? I don't care for performance... [02:25] i know! [02:25] web1109: ive rarely had any issues with oprea. i jsut tend to uise firefox.. but google chrome is slowly gaining poplarity with me [02:26] DasEi: ok, well its not a problem now because my system is set up with all the Development tools I need...but it might become a problem later down the track, when it does i will probably just reinstall Ubuntu, partitioning it correctly this time. [02:26] f1lt3r, maybe try sudo chmod -r 777 /var/www/* [02:26] charliebrown: see http://xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php?t=57304 [02:26] kk trying [02:26] Newbuntu2, raid is not a backup solution :) [02:26] DasEi, didnt work [02:27] wasnt there a way with killall? [02:27] no that didnt work Out_Cold [02:27] f1lt3r, refresh your browser? [02:27] oh * [02:27] one sec [02:27] lol i'm getting browser sidetracked... for SIP there are servers which I have to setup and account with? [02:27] ubuntuUserTom: nah, have a look now a day or two, then reboot once with "old fstab, delete everything you can from /home, re-alter fstab, reboot, be done [02:27] not sorking with * either [02:27] breaks on every browser [02:28] usser: so would you suggest mounting one drive on the network, and have the other regularly rsyncing? or is there a better way? [02:28] chrome [02:28] firefox, opera etc [02:28] can you pm me your ls -l /var/www ? [02:28] DasEi: ok =D I will do that then. [02:28] Newbuntu2, rsync works for me. not gonna be hot swappable though. you really need raid+rsync [02:29] ubuntuUserTom: gksudo gedit /etc/fstab , the # in front of line makes it a non-executed comment [02:29] yes i need the link again to reset my password i gave up last night [02:29] DasEi: alright, ill do that soon then =D [02:29] ubuntuUserTom: so you can edit (delete) all the old stuff from home then [02:29] have fun .. and soace [02:29] need to know how to reset my password on ubuntu [02:29] usser: that's ok - don't care about hot swappable - more about being able to unplug the drive and take it with me on trips [02:29] space [02:30] does anyone have the link again [02:30] usser: and have a safe backup at home... [02:30] sdwrage: what are you trying ? [02:30] How can I prevent a user from mounting USB disks ? [02:30] DasEi, to refresh my menu items [02:30] I used to know how to do it [02:30] Newbuntu2, yea sure it will work [02:30] hardworkr1: boot to single/rescue mode or live cd.. chroot in, (if needed use passwd command as needed) Ive never seen a link for a guide [02:30] hardworkr1: use the recovery option from the boot menu, use the "passwd " command [02:33] DasEi: where was fstab located again? [02:33] hey guys! can someone ping for me: 212.40.152.195 , is there any reply? thx [02:33] ubuntuUserTom: gksudo gedit /etc/fstab , the # in front of line makes it a non-executed comment [02:33] /etc/fstab [02:33] DasEi: cheers [02:33] burp [02:33] s/gksudo gedit/sudo vi [02:34] ubuntuUserTom: /etc/fstabe [02:34] Hey Fellow Ubuntuites :) [02:34] helper, scanning...

[02:40] oh.... hardworkr then you need to boot off live usb and then as root, adjust the password [02:41] foormea, flux has generated menus [02:41] 'someone changed it' makes me wonder what else they may have done. [02:41] Out_Cold: ok, thanks [02:41] exactly my point [02:41] hardworkr, let this be a lesson... don't ever share your password with anyone..... [02:41] hardworkr: sounds like time to do a reinstall then [02:42] hardworkr, i agree with Dr_Willis [02:42] hardworkr: reinstall [02:42] it was my husband that changed it lol [02:42] safest and fastest way to fix it [02:42] tell him to change it back then [02:42] Or hes sleeping on the couch for the next year. [02:42] hardworkr: lol well then just hit him after he falls asleep [02:42] foormea - All three of those have menus [02:42] The touchpad on my laptop is messed up. About every five to ten minutes I lose the ability to interact with X. I can mouse the cursor but I cannot click. I use and external usb mouse. Is there an easy way to totaly disable the touchpad? [02:43] Daemonic, Try tpconfig [02:43] Daemonic, you used to be able to disable it in xorg.conf but not sure if that's the way to do now [02:43] Out_Cold, its not configured in xorg.conf [02:43] does anybody know how to use hdmi for sound with oss4? [02:43] I checked [02:44] afroman: why not use alsa? [02:44] does doing an install from usb add files to the stick? in very large amounts? [02:44] militant, it shouldn't add any files if you are installing to a hdd [02:44] Hello [02:44] tweaksource, I only see options to configure the touchpad with tpconfig. I don't see anything about how to disable it entirely. [02:44] he doesnt remember what he changed it to [02:44] lol [02:44] militant, Installing FROM usb should add NO files. [02:45] so now im stuck [02:45] Out_Cold, hmmm ok. kuz i did one today on my brother's netbook and now the stick has no free space despite usually having 2gb leftover [02:45] How can I get [02:45] Any Gwibber users here?

[02:45] Out_Cold, i restarted.... still wont let me create /var/www/javascript [02:45] hardworkr: youve been told to use a lvie cd to change it.. or reinstall. so good luck I guess.. or slap the guy around till he rembers. [02:45] hardworkr, reinstall from scratch or boot off of usb or live cd, then adjust the password from there [02:45] afroman: ati is the enemy of your freedom [02:45] ok i will try thannks [02:45] * Dr_Willis avoides ATI from now on [02:46] blakkheim: too bad I can't do much about it...

I plugged it into my TV, and I am trying to watch hulu on it. Occasionally it will run okay, but often times it will only run a frame or two per second as far as the video. I don't believe it is a buffer issue because the buffer usually appears full. I am trying to figure out how to optimize my system for this. Any suggestions? [02:55] mpavel, There i a great info on portforwarding on intenet [02:56] Sorhan: Make sure all machines have the same workgroup name.

[02:59] mpavel: okay [02:59] I am [02:59] trust me [03:00] very lacking yes :( [03:00] DJ, http://pastebin.com/d1313db27 [03:00] Out_Cold: so thats why I'm proposing a trying to help ppl with this horrible situation [03:00] arom: but within ubuntu server I have tomcat running Nuxeo Document Management, which I have to run at http://localhost:8080/nuxeo/ [03:00] yeah aumix isn't the answer [03:00] i think that ther will be a "sendback" system [03:00] is flash 10 in the repos? [03:00] with 10.04 or 10.10 [03:01] is it a good idea to run linux under vmware ? [03:01] ? [03:01] Sorhan: First thing i see is that you haven't set a workgroup. You need to MAKE SURE all systems you're sharing with have that set. [03:01] Johnny_425: what's the keycode for your caps lock key when you press it? [03:01] I wonder if an update broke something... [03:01] that way i can run 5 OSes at once. [03:01] mpavel: 4294967216 [03:01] who needs 5 os's at once? [03:01] DJ, best way to set it in Samba's cfg [03:01] seriously has anyone got internet working in virtualbox? [03:01] where on pourra faire des bugs ' rapports [03:01] phong_, Better to have a linux host and run the others in vmware.

[03:01] hahah tweaksource, unfortuately , i have it windows as a host... ;) [03:02] valros, oh, sorry thought you were talking about in general [03:02] kanster: erm.. exe is windows only. can run a lot of them if you have wine installed though [03:02] kanster: xubuntu is just ubuntu with Xfce you can run it under wine [03:02] kanster: yes [03:02] Johnny_425: that doesn't look right, when you run xev, you should see "keycode: xx" which will change for every key [03:02] kanster, .exe's are Windows binary executables. No, the don't natively execute in Xubuntu [03:02] ubottu: bugs | fredoslack [03:02] fredoslack: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs - Bugs in/wishes for the IRC bots (not Ubuntu) can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [03:02] Sorhan: Edit the smb.conf and change the line that says workgroup = workgroup to whatever your Win machines are set to.

[03:05] how do i know my version? [03:05] nomnex: the ~ is the same as $HOME [03:05] uname -r ?

[03:10] Sorhan: ntfs fat or what? [03:10] Sorhan: Sharing from Windows to Ubuntu is always a pain. Just a sec, I'll find you a link. [03:10] terminal ??

[03:16] I just installed the latest flash [03:16] bazhang: does that still belong in ubuntu+1? [03:16] phong_: uses xfce instead of gnome [03:17] phong_, more light [03:17] what is it [03:17] dabukalam, that ios not supported and will break things [03:17] but very similar [03:17] where to get it [03:17] ok where can i go to get ffmpeg ?

[03:18] it is a "small gnome" hih i [03:18] hi hi [03:18] did [03:18] xfce is like a theme for linux desktop, is that right? [03:18] more than a theme [03:18] phong, much like gnome [03:18] bazhang, why install xubuntu ??/what is the advantage ? [03:18] phong_, not quite, it is a desktop environment much like KDE or gnome [03:18] an environnement [03:19] you install the correct one [03:19] IdleOne: understood, but "xubuntu" isn't much google foo. he does have ubuntu already afterall [03:19] phong, only its lighter in some ways when it comes to cpu load... and has less graphic capabilities [03:19] phong_, what version of ubuntu are you using [03:19] anyone here with a solution for remote desktop connectivity [03:19] i'm currently use kubuntu [03:19] aspidites: Still, please don't tell people to google it. [03:19] i'm currently use kubuntu 9.10 [03:19] phong xfce is better on older slower computers [03:19] phong_, no, I mean number [03:19] # [03:19] i have intel i7 920 [03:19] xubuntu is still very bloated [03:19] phong_, then you can also try lubuntu-desktop [03:19] it's fast man [03:20] oh my god [03:20] how many ubuntu are out theer? [03:20] lubuntu...hmm.lxde? [03:20] is it like from a to z [03:20] probably over 9000 [03:20] aspidites, yes [03:20] I have a question.. Why doesn't hulu work??? [03:20] sekyourbox: what method did you use to install flash? [03:20] too many [03:20] sekyourbox: kinda vague. would need to know what symptoms you are experiencing. do you get a particular error message?? [03:20] humm [03:20] there is Fluxbuntu too ^^ [03:20] sekyourbox: it works, but its very cpu intensive and can crash systems with low memory [03:21] i realy dont know [03:21] really? [03:21] let me see my god u make me sick now [03:21] * wiretapped uses rubuntu [03:21] hu [03:21] (ratpoison) [03:22] wiretapped: that is one I have only vaguely heard about... whats its catch? [03:22] ok since u guys has experience, which kind of ubuntu should i install now? [03:22] please give me a good answer. [03:22] wiretapped: Blah. ratpoison is TOO stripped down. wmii on my low-spec machine. [03:22] phong depends on what your machine can handle and what you want it to look like and do [03:22] 65 ubuntu based distros [03:22] phong_, ça dépend de tes besoins (merci de me traduire) [03:22] I used this method to install the new flash. Went to the vendors website, downloaded the .deb for 804+ installed, aptitude, and apt-get update (just because) and rebooted the machine. cleared the cache on firefox, and hulu still says i need to upgrade.. Thanks in advance [03:22] my machine can handle anythings [03:22] phong_: If you're not sure, go with plain-jane ubuntu. [03:22] as per distrowatch: http://distrowatch.com/search.php?category=All&origin=All&basedon=Ubuntu&desktop=All&architecture=All&status=Active [03:22] it's depend of your needs * [03:23] phong_: Just get the ubuntu CD and go for it. [03:23] ok [03:23] Cdsfvcvf [03:23] the plain version [03:23] ;) [03:23] phong_, Xfce or Fluxbox or Ion3 (huhu) for a old computer [03:23] sekyourbox: try installing flashplugin-nonfree from the package manager [03:23] ok if i install ubuntu 9.10 and can i get the xfce to work on it? [03:23] I have X working on my TV-Out (i810 video), but it's "shaky-looking". My xorg.conf is here: http://pastebin.com/m263b0866 and the results of xrandr --verbose -q is here: http://pastebin.com/m7122b15a - So how do I fix it? [03:23] phong_: After working with it for a while you can either tweak it to suit your needs or have a better idea of what you really want to use. [03:23] phong_: Sure. [03:24] ok i go with plain one [03:24] phong_, that is ubuntu-desktop , you want xubuntu-desktop for xfce4 [03:24] then keep on building it nice ;) [03:24] phong_: Once it's installed, you can install xfce, then switch to it at the login screen. [03:24] phong, sure, you can even make extra user accounts and run each of them ... one account for xfce one for kde one for gnome etc [03:24] I'm looking for someone who's gotten L2TP/IPSec working on ubuntu. Any help? I've spent probably 6 or more hours on this and can't get a VPN working. [03:24] is xfce free? [03:24] jiohdi: Or just use the same user account for each. [03:24] aptitude install xubuntu-desktop [03:24] phong_: yes [03:24] :} [03:24] okay [03:24] brb [03:24] i'll install bye [03:24] phong_: There's nothing at all in the repos that you have to pay for. [03:24] canthus, you can do that too :) [03:24] or apt-get [03:24] :p [03:25] jiohdi: Less confusing that way. [03:25] sudo apt-get/install that is [03:25] unless you're lready root [03:25] Billiard, flashplugin-nonfree is already the newest version. [03:25] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [03:25] canthus13: for who :) [03:25] aspidites: Shouldn't already be root. [03:25] anybody with a solution for remote desktop connectivity [03:25] canthus13: just saying. [03:26] developer: from what platform to what platform? linux to windows? [03:26] aspidites: *shrug* we don't support running as root in here. [03:26] sekyourbox: its the newest for your distribution but you dont have 9.10 right? [03:26] aspidites: yes [03:26] Hello is it possible that one could make a other operating system usb bootable than ubuntu by using the usb startup Disk Creator? [03:26] sekyourbox: which version of flash does firefox say you have? type "about:plugins" into addressbar [03:26] Jiohdi, 9.10 is on my laptop [03:26] aspidites: or even linux to linux [03:26] developer: VNC is the easiest. [03:26] con-man: wasn't trying to advocate, just a blanket disclaimer [03:26] sekyourbox: is that the one that will not run hulu? === test is now known as testink [03:27] aspidites: the problem is that the machines are on different network and behind NAT [03:27] canthus13: the problem is that the machines are on different network and behind NAT [03:27] developer: vnc viewer? [03:27] o prease [03:27] developer: You're gonna run into issues with pretty much anything in that situation. [03:27] anyone here know how to help with ndiswrapper? [03:28] developer: do you simply need remote access or do you need remote desktop? [03:28] jiohdi, sorry 804 is the one im having issues with, havent tried on 910 yet. [03:28] Shockwave Flash 9.0 r260 [03:28] aspidites: vnc can work of course work...but how to connect to machines behind NAT [03:28] developer: If you can explicitly forward a higher port to the machine in question, you can do it. [03:28] i have used ndiswrapper. [03:28] aspidites: i want remote desktop [03:28] are you trying to get wireless to work? [03:28] Hello is it possible that one could make a other operating system usb bootable than ubuntu by using the usb startup Disk Creator? [03:28] sekyourbox: you have the newest for your distribution not the newest in existance and that is the problem [03:28] developer: is port forwarding an option? [03:28] Any idea on how to get Matrox G400/G450 dual head card to support two monitors? [03:28] developer: Do you have access to the routers? [03:29] canthus13: any help/resources which i can use?? [03:29] developer: Or access to the net admin and a couple of six-packs? [03:29] canthus13: yes...have routers and has public IP. but not static [03:29] jiohdi, other people here are watching hulu on 804 right? [03:29] sekyourbox: not sure... but you likely cannot even watch it on firefox right? [03:29] I need to apt-get some linux-headers. it tells me to sudo aptitude install linux-headers-@(uname -r) [03:30] But that failed^ [03:30] developer: http://www.realvnc.com/pipermail/vnc-list/2002-July/031855.html [03:30] developer: Don't need a static. You just need to be able to forward ports. You would need a way to get the IP when it changes, tho. [03:30] I cannot [03:30] developer: Maybe a cron job to grab the external IP at 6 hour intervals and then email it to you. [03:30] sekyourbox: I think that is the problem then, because it likely needs flash 10 and 804 does not support it [03:30] canthus13: ya...i think the dynamic dns facility is avaialble forfree [03:30] developer: dyndns would also work, if you prefer the simple route. :) [03:30] or 810 rather? [03:31] sekyourbox: you probabaly need at least 904 [03:31] canthus13: but the problem is that i dont know the concept behind port forwarding [03:31] who here is running 8x for ubuntu?? [03:32] canthus13: and after all where do we specify the port options in VNC Viewer?? [03:32] Anyone? I have X working on my TV-Out (i810 video), but it's "shaky-looking". My xorg.conf is here: http://pastebin.com/m263b0866 and the results of xrandr --verbose -q is here: http://pastebin.com/m7122b15a - So how do I fix it? [03:32] canthus13: ya...dyndns [03:32] :) [03:32] developer: You just pick a port, say above 10000. (Nothing below 1065 for sure, as those are assigned to services). Log into the router, tell it to forward the port to the machine in question. [03:32] Hello is it possible that one could make a other operating system usb bootable than ubuntu by using the usb startup Disk Creator? [03:32] sekyourbox: I am guessing just you :) [03:32] developer: Have the VNC server on machine listen on the port you are forwarding to. [03:32] really? wowy [03:33] developer: As far as the viewer, there should be a configuration option to specify the port you want to use. === zz_Chazz is now known as Chazz [03:33] canthus13: but i couldnt find much configuration options related to vnc...i think everything will be command line [03:33] developer: This is all theory. I don't use it. I'm happy using the command line for all my needs. [03:33] youshii, very likely if you are good at editing grub... [03:34] developer: I believe tightvnc is available and has a server with a gui. lemme look. [03:34] canthus13: k..thanks in advance === Mowee`Bnc is now known as Mowee [03:34] is there a way to install forefox 3.6 on karmic? [03:34] verb3k: compile it [03:35] !ubuntuzilla | verb3k [03:35] jony123: replace the @ with $ [03:35] developer: Here's some relevant info. http://www.tightvnc.com/faq.php [03:35] No:( [03:35] developer: and I think tightvnc is in the repos... [03:35] jony123: sudo aptitude install linux-headers-$(uname -r) [03:35] canthus13: k..let me see [03:35] Hmm. maybe not. [03:35] canthus13: but i heard that vnc needs a faster connection..isnt it?? [03:36] hey guys...i want to be able to view live video or snapshots from my web cam remotely...whats a good app to get me started? [03:36] developer: more info for a server: http://www.davelachapelle.ca/guides/ubuntu-tightvnc-server/ [03:36] MoeGreen, you mean live streaming on the internet? [03:36] can't you stream video with vlc? [03:36] canthus13: have you ever tried Team Viewer for windows....i am expecting functionality same as that software [03:36] or you mean to host the feed online? [03:36] verb3k: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/ but you'll have to spell it correctly... [03:36] developer: It's not too bad if you have ~384k for upload speeds. [03:37] developer: never used it. Tightvnc gives you a window with the desktop of the server inside. [03:37] x/48 [03:37] Losha, thanks for your tremendous help [03:37] :D [03:37] ya some kind of program that will connect to my ftp and give me live feed or snapshots every hour. [03:37] canthus13: k..thats what i need [03:37] MoeGreen, even if it's advanced and difficult to set? you have no problem with that? [03:37] * canthus13 prefers go2assist for streaming connections, but there's no linux version, unfortunatly. :( It works great even at 150k. [03:38] canthus13: so the first thing is that i should learn port forwarding...isnt it [03:38] developer: It's not too hard on most routers. [03:38] ok.. [03:38] developer: Are you behind a regular consumer-grade router? [03:38] MoeGreen: http://alternativeto.net/desktop/gotoassist/ [03:38] MoeGreen, http://blog.devinrkennedy.com/2009/10/live-screencasting-using-ffmpeg.html, it's talking about screencasting, but the principle is similar [03:38] canthus13: actually...we have ADSL Router [03:38] developer: Then yes. [03:39] developer: If you can get into the configuration, there should be a section for port forwarding. [03:39] thx ill check it out. [03:39] MoeGreen: then again, that might just be remote access to the computer..hmmm [03:39] developer: On most routers, it's pretty self-explanatory. [03:39] canthus13: and the thing is that the public ip is on the routers interface [03:39] canthus13: yas there is a section for portforwarding [03:39] developer: If you're on a machine behind the router, you can go to ipchicken.com and get the public IP. [03:40] MoeGreen: just a sec. might have found something [03:40] What's the name of the 9.10 release? [03:40] or just $ curl whatismyip.org && echo [03:40] jaunty? [03:40] or something else.. [03:40] Karmic Koala [03:40] koo [03:40] Can any body tell me how I can delete my home directory, its my 'old' one that I don't need any more (re-synced it onto another partition) atm I am re-downloading ubuntu so i can use the USB to do it but is there any other way? [03:40] canthus13: another thing is that the router is connected to a server and the local lan is connected to the server via a switch [03:40] thank you [03:41] elitecoder: karmic [03:41] MoeGreen: meh. nevermind. assorted stuff i never heard of. sorry [03:41] thanks again :] [03:41] elitecoder, you're welcome [03:41] np [03:42] canthus13: and the server has two network card and there is internal routing done within that server [03:42] canthus13: i think all these things will make complications ....:( === dimension128 is now known as |dev|null [03:42] Anyone want to help me out? I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 and it keeps freezing every 10 or so minutes. [03:42] developer: Maybe. so.. all traffic goes through the server? [03:43] hi. how do i prevent synaptic from stealing focus? [03:43] canthus13: yes..alll trafic goes through the server [03:43] developer: so why have a router if you're using the server as one? [03:43] airlia, you just installed ubuntu? [03:43] #ubuntu [03:43] developer: Give it a shot.. the worst that can happen is it won't work and you'll have to figure out how to get the server to forward the traffic on. [03:43] I'm an ubuntu noob, but I've been running 9.10 for a month or so now. [03:44] The freezing has always been there, it's just gotten a lot worse recently. [03:44] developer: Is the server transparent to the network? Or is it the default gateway? [03:44] airlia: comfortable with a terminal? [03:44] A bit. [03:44] Hey [03:44] canthus13: server is the default gateway [03:44] airlia: pastebin top command for me please. [03:44] developer: Then it might not work without a little tweaking to the server. [03:44] !ics | developer - I came in late adn didn't get it all.. maybe this will help [03:44] developer - I came in late adn didn't get it all.. maybe this will help: If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [03:45] scunizi: the router is actually ADSL router...which provides iternet [03:45] Ubuntu Rocks!

[03:45] http://pastebin.com/d6340a433 [03:45] currently, at home I run ubuntu on my server. At work, we use CentOS (de-branded redhat). I need a test environment to learn to write rpm's. I cannot use work boxes (yet) because, I'm just learning the sys admin part, and we can't spare the boxes at the moment. I have a few options that I see. I can reformat with fedora (or some other rpm-based distro), I can use xen and para-virtualize an rpm-based distro (my preference), or I can [03:46] hoq do I force firefox to use 10.0.42.34-1 instead of Shockwave Flash 9.0 r260? [03:46] Anyone interested in a IDN? www.sɹǝʞɔɐɥ.com [03:46] daddysmurf: use virtualbox.. easier and faster to setup.. [03:46] kalakupua, that is offtopic here dont paste in this channel [03:46] scunizi: no gui [03:47] sorry [03:47] airlia: when you say freezing do you mean all around or only certain programs? [03:47] I can answer ubuntu questions too [03:47] daddysmurf: it will run headless.. or gui-less [03:47] :D [03:47] scunizi: oh? [03:47] All around. Complete kernal failure. Caps lock doesn't even light up. [03:47] canthus13: i think the things will be easy if i have the public IP for the server isnt it?? [03:47] canthus13: i mean the ppoe mode [03:47] scunizi: completely, or after it's setup? [03:47] Can't ctrl+alt f1 for a shell either. [03:47] daddysmurf: but not the version in the repos.. just the version from their site.. they have a repo for ubuntu [03:47] is there any ubuntu game IRCs? [03:47] airlia: pastebin cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf [03:47] daddysmurf: completely [03:47] is there any ubuntu game IRCs? [03:47] How does one restart their GNOME desktop? I need a few menu items that I installed to show up [03:48] scunizi: you may have just solved my entire issue === bobwhoops is now known as eplots [03:48] sdwrage: you just need to restare your panel [03:48] sdwrage: sudo service gdm restart [03:48] daddysmurf: :) [03:48] Hi people. I can't configure Kismet here in Ubuntu, People say that using BackTrack we don't even have to configure Kismet, is it true?? [03:48] sdwrage: hit alt-f2 and type in: pkill gnome-panel [03:48] julio_: no [03:48] hoq do I force firefox to use 10.0.42.34-1 instead of Shockwave Flash 9.0 r260? [03:48] not sure if it went through [03:49] No such file or directory when i run the command cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf [03:49] blakkheim So even in Back Track I gotta edit kismet.conf, is it? [03:49] julio_: yes [03:49] airlia: nope.. not on the latest releases.. xrandr controls video setup [03:49] sekyourbox: uninstall 9.0, figure out what it's failing to see? [03:49] airlia: hmm..may be somewhere else. running arch here so i can't remember [03:49] airlia: run locate xorg.conf [03:49] then cat the result of that [03:50] blakkheim: =//, Thanks!! [03:50] unless..by default does ubuntu run without xorg.conf? [03:50] hi i installed tweetdeck. Created a custom app launcher, and added it to the applications bar on the top...i can't assign the same tweetdeck icon to it. Is it possible to do this? [03:50] aspidites: there is no xorg.conf on 9.10 release [03:50] airlia: i think ubuntu 9.10 doesnt use a xorg configuration [03:50] airlia@ubuntu:~$ locate xorg.conf [03:50] /usr/share/man/man5/xorg.conf.5.gz [03:50] is the result of that command. sorry for not pastebin-ing that, are two lines okay in this channel? [03:50] scunizi: just thought of that right before you typed it :P [03:50] Ubuntu 9.10 does Xorg configuration automatically now, there's no xorg.conf unless you create it [03:50] Is there a way to remove the config files installed by apt-get installing something?/ [03:50] aspidites: :) [03:50] airlia: that's fine [03:50] without going to find them [03:50] airlia: ubuntu 9.10 auto configures the xserver [03:51] elitecoder: apt-get purge [03:51] daddysmurf, i was gonna try that,but wanted to see what the deal was first [03:51] snuxoll: hank youuu [03:51] elitecoder: use apt-get purge [03:51] hi [03:51] hi thre, I upgrade Ubuntu Server on a VirtualBOx machine and it kill my VM, where could I ask for help? no luck with google or ubuntu forums.. [03:51] Can Someone help me to configure Kismet? [03:51] airlia: hmmm..thinking... [03:52] airlia: which graphics driver are you using? [03:52] julio_: man kismet.conf [03:52] Oh man.. I honestly couldn't tell you. [03:52] airlia: wm? stock gnome or do you have effects inabled [03:52] I'm using this dinosaur of a machine [03:52] airlia: frankly, I think freezes of the kind you describe are more likely to be due to a hardware problem. Bad memory, power supply, or motherboard. Did this box formerly run windows without freezing? [03:52] No effects enabled. [03:52] blakkheim, yeah I know, I gotta edit it, I just don know the chipset driver [03:52] It ran Ubuntu before, an older version. I think 7.04 [03:52] airlia: hardware configuration please [03:52] Then the HDD failed [03:53] Any command I can run to easily get you that info? [03:53] blakkheim, and I dont know where it is by typing lscpi or something like that [03:53] sekyourbox: that's usually what I do if something's not working right. had zope on gentoo trying to crank up python 2.6, uninstalled 2.6, it found 2.4, then installed 2.6 after and it all worked like a dream [03:53] I also get an error at startup for a split second after GRUB loads, if that could help. [03:53] airlia: yeah. lspci -v would do it [03:53] julio_: there is a lot of documentation on their site [03:53] 8254 timer not connected to io-apic is the error i think. [03:53] I'll take a look then, thanks!! [03:53] i just installed the newest version of ubuntu (9.10) and it wont let me create new panels in gnome.. i only have the default top and bottom ones... [03:53] any1 knw whats a .svg file? [03:53] someone help me with the driver webcam Bus 001 Device 003: ID 046d:09c1 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Deluxe for Notebooks in ubuntu? [03:53] How can I prevent a user from mounting USB disks ? [03:54] airlia: :S that makes things fun. had that on my old laptop [03:54] intangir: just right click on the top panel and click new panel [03:54] deostroll: it's a svg graphic file.. inkscape or gimp should open it. [03:54] http://pastebin.com/d1d28c995 [03:54] intangir, so you cant right click on a panel and click new panel? [03:54] XVirus: you would need to configure the device mounting policy. what version of ubu may I ask? [03:54] airlia: didn't cause freezes though. could be your luck though. [03:54] deostroll: svg=scalable vector graphics [03:54] Trek: latest [03:54] intangir: have you tried AWN....its better than the default panel for the panel at the bottom [03:54] scunizi: can u add ur own images to it? [03:54] There's the result of that command. [03:54] XVirus: hold on a minute, okay? [03:54] Trek: sure [03:55] developer, or use gnome-do in dock mode, or cairo dock [03:55] i right click the bar, gotto new panel, and nothing happens [03:55] i tried it in compiz and metacity [03:55] neither pop up a new panel [03:55] airlia: ah. intel integrated. what about the results of lsmod | grep intel? [03:55] deostroll: it is an image.. one image.. you can make your own though.. install inkscape [03:55] Vantrax: but new AWN trunk is simply superb than others [03:55] i tried moving the existing panels to see if it was under them or something, but no [03:55] Trek: I disabled automounting .. but my problem now is that when I plug the device .. it shows in nautilus's side pane and the user can click on it to mount it [03:55] someone? [03:55] lol [03:55] hi all.. someone can help me with routing with VPN (pptp) (I can't ping between clients, but can ping from server to client and back), I got this network diagram http://img693.imageshack.us/i/redh.png/ , can't understand this guide (I'm new with networks) http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/routing.phtml#client-to-lan the route changes I have to do it in the client or in the server?? [03:55] Vantrax: Simple , Stylish, and easily configurable [03:56] developer, I still think Gnome DO is much better, a few key features that make it much much better [03:56] http://pastebin.com/d21e729a9 [03:56] XVirus: Are you sure you didn't deactivate the passwords needed to mount internal media/removable media? [03:56] intangir: That's strange.. did you try restarting gnome-panel? [03:56] How can I make Kismet automatically detect my driver? hehe [03:56] deusr: qc-usb driver, which is already integrated in the latest kernel (but i'm not sure which version of the kernel ubuntu runs stock) [03:56] Trek: yes .. I didn't do that [03:56] Vantrax: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2009/12/awn-new-features-download.html [03:56] ! webcam | deusr [03:56] deusr: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [03:56] julio_: you can't. if you want that kind of thing you shouldn't be using kismet in the first place. [03:57] Vantrax: what features are distinct [03:57] scunizi: k i want to take another app icon for my custom lauched app...hw can i do this? [03:57] hum... [03:57] Trek: so ? [03:57] soreau: how do i restart just gnome-panel? [03:57] blakkheim, I want to test my wireless connection security === flaco is now known as flacom [03:57] flaco: not sure if I can help but let's see if we can logic this out.. are you on the client or server side? [03:58] airlia: everything was fine until hardware failure right? [03:58] XVirus: sorry, give me a few seconds longer [03:58] julio_: what encryption scheme do you use [03:58] Trek: sure [03:58] blakkheim wpa2 [03:58] Hi, can someone point me to a resource that explains the differences between the hardy, hardy-updates, and hardy-security repos? [03:58] julio_: TKIP or AES [03:58] It was fine before the old HDD died [03:58] scunizi: both... I'm testing the network... [03:58] I do not understand about that much though, i've just put it in the router configuration [03:58] developer, gnome-do can search for and launch any application from the dock [03:58] aspidites, orcilia@ipa:/usr/NX/scripts/setup$ lsmod |grep qc [03:58] orcilia@ipa:/usr/NX/scripts/setup$ [03:58] and with the older version of ubuntu [03:58] Hello, I'm having trouble with the Compiz plugin "Place Windows"! I want it to center Deluge's "Add Torrent" dialog, so I added "(class=Deluge-gtk) & title=Add Torrents" to the Fixed Placement Mode with the action "Centered", but it doesn't work. Anything wrong with my method? :\ [03:58] deostroll: right mouse click the current icon for your app, choose properties, in the new box click the icon, find the one you want and save [03:58] intangir: service gnome-panel restart [03:58] intangir: In ubuntu gnome, if gnome panel ever gets killed, it automatically restarts itself. So all you have to do is 'killall gnome-panel' [03:58] blakkheim, I guess it is AES [03:59] flacom: ok.. are there routers on both sides? [03:59] julio_: and how many characters is your passphrase [03:59] airlia: According to google, "8254 timer not connected to io-apic" isn't known to cause freezes. In your place, I'd run a memtest overnight, and if that's clean, I'd try 8.04 LTS [03:59] blakkheim, and I told you, i do not understand about that much [03:59] blakkheim, 8 [03:59] how do i run a memtest? [03:59] airlia: really at this point i would be doing the old process of elination [03:59] julio_: you should increase that by a lot, using numbers/letters/ascii [03:59] flacom: hard to tell from the diagram [04:00] airlia: already do an fsck on your drives (at boot while they aren't mounted, that is) [04:00] karpus: Did you try using the + key in the match dialog in ccsm, then click Grab so you can click on the window you want to match? [04:00] julio_: i use a 63-character string of upper/lowercase+numbers+ascii [04:00] scunizi: yes, the router in the server I can made changes, in the others not [04:00] blakkheim can people crack it easily? [04:00] julio_: 8 chars? yes 63? no [04:00] blakkheim, wow [04:00] XVirus: i'm not sure why your system would be doing that. I just tested my 9.10 install that I have on my server box (I use the GUI version of Ubu for my server) with removable media, and deactivated auto-mount anyways, and it prompts for the password to mount when using the sidebar [04:00] anyone: reference XVirus's question in case you have any other insights [04:00] scunizi: what info you think are missing? [04:00] soreau: Yes, it was through that dialog I got (class=Deluge-gtk) & title=Add Torrents [04:00] blakkheim I though mine was pretty good haha people here generally use wep [04:00] airlia: it should be a boot option. It can't hurt to fsck your disks either, as aspidites says... [04:01] alright, i'll do that. [04:01] julio_: yeah that can be cracked in less than a minute.. [04:01] Trek: how did you disable automount ? [04:01] what should i press to get a terminal before boot? [04:01] flacom: usually with vpn you're going from one network to another.. both are seperated by routers.. if the server is the router for the network then vpn isn't required and may not be configurable [04:01] XVirus: did you try with a usb flash disk ? [04:01] blakkheim thatś incredible [04:01] karpus: Do you have compiz running? [04:01] memtest is tied to bios i thought? [04:01] hey all... I have an issue I need some help with. It seems I have a broken package for Firefox. I was installing the beta [04:02] memtest is in bios then? but how would i run fsck? [04:02] weird, i killed gnome-panel and 1 new panel appeared after restart, just 1.. in my gnome-conf it shows i have 7 now ;) i tried adding a new one that many times but now only 3 are visible (better than 2 i guess..) [04:02] scunizi: my app doesn't hve an icon i guess; its the shortcut which has it. Can't find the icon loc either way... [04:02] blakkheim thanks! I will make a bigger password ! [04:02] blakkheim thanks! bye! [04:02] soreau: "compiz" and "compiz.real" is running according to the system monitor, so it should be running :) [04:03] airlia: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-force-fsck-on-the-next-reboot-or-boot-sequence/ [04:03] not quite what you asked, but it will accomplish the same [04:03] scunizi: my only problem now... is.. that the clients A and B can't connect to the PC located in the same network of the vpn server [04:03] karpus: If you use the same match in a different plugin, does it work? For example, using the match in the OBS plugin to make it transparent a bit [04:03] I'll try the disk check, thanks guys! [04:03] aspidites: memtest is a standalone bootable binary that you boot into *instead* of linux. It does a very thorough exercise of RAM if you let it run long enough. You can't combine it with fsck, it's meant for testing memory.... [04:03] after updating, there are two kernels in the grub startup option, how to get rid of the old one ? [04:04] what is the boot kernel option for loading the basic VESA video driver? [04:04] flacom: if there is a router between them then check the setup in the router.. most have a vpn setup section so it will pass the request to the internal IP of the machine you're trying to reach. [04:04] hey all... I have an issue I need some help with. It seems I have a broken package for Firefox. I was installing the beta [04:04] Losha: rather, i meant the option for memtest is in the bios. at least its in mine. though, i do vaguely remember it being a boot option on ubuntu livecd [04:04] flacom I was just able to do this A and B on same network over wifi [04:05] what is the boot kernel option for loading the basic VESA video driver? [04:06] sacarlson: I'm sure is the little detail, because I can ping from the clients A and B to the server, so I need to forward the packages to the rest of the computers connected in the same network of the VPN [04:06] soreau: Uh... Not good, I tried adding it to the Opacity plugin but when I opened a torrent file, launching the dialog, the screen flickered and now ~35% of my screen is just black. I also saw Docky complaining about compositing being disabled or something like that (after the flickering) [04:07] karpus: Check that compiz is running, it may have crashed. Set to None and back again in sys>prefs>appearance>visual effects [04:07] aspidites: I don't know if there are bios resident versions of memtest, many bioses will do some kind of cursory memory test at bootup, but the memtest I'm talking about is the boot option and it really needs to run overnight. If airlia sees a hang or other errors running memtest, we'll know it's a hardware issue.... [04:08] Losha: ah [04:08] Well anyone knowledgeable know why Ubuntu 9.04 would install fine, but 9.10 wouldn't? [04:08] Everytime I downloaded a 9.10 image it had an error in one file. And would cut off mid-installation. [04:08] ok ... finally able to mount shares that I need to on the windows machine, how can I make a script that on connection to my "home" network it mounts those directories? [04:09] Nichod, different kernels, probably a regression. What hardware are you on, and what do you mean by "doesn't install" ? [04:09] Nichod: you burning the cd as slow as you can? [04:09] Vantrax: so did u see the new awn?? [04:09] flacom do you mean you want A and B and C to see each other over VPN? [04:09] Nichod, the md5 sum fails? [04:09] loops: it would simple say that an error occurred during installation (check harddrive, makesure CD fine, etc.) [04:09] Nichod: my first guess would be a bad burn with the 9.10 cd. Does the CD pass md5sum? [04:09] Nichod, you may wish to try a torrent if os [04:10] burned at 4x. [04:10] soreau: Ok, I think it's working again [04:10] md5 sum was fine on all [04:10] !cron [04:10] cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm [04:10] i attempted 4 installations. [04:10] Nichod, then I would suggest the alternate installer [04:10] scunizi: saddly, I got a crappy router... no VPN options [04:10] i'm thinking of just upgrading a jaunty install. [04:10] developer, going to play with it on the weekend [04:10] sacarlson, yes [04:11] Nichod, you might want to try installing from a USB thumb drive instead of CD [04:11] just odd that the disk check said that an error was found. [04:11] flacom: well you can try to portforward from the server to the machine you're trying to reachh [04:11] in one file. [04:11] Hey guys, what file do I need to edit to add paths like JAVA_HOME [04:11] flacom I never played with that but I did see there was an option to configure so that other clients could see each other [04:11] Vantrax: thats good...one best feature is that the GNOMENU is integrated with it [04:11] Nichod: try burning an iso download using the torrent download option [04:12] How can I fix broken dependancies? [04:12] loops: i tried installing with wubi, used unetbootin to create a usb burn, downloaded direct from ubuntu.com and downloaded a torrent. [04:12] How can I prevent a user from mounting USB flash disks ? [04:12] hey all... I have an issue I need some help with. It seems I have a broken package for Firefox. I was installing the beta. [04:12] scunizi: I have setup the router to forward the VPN packages to the vpn server [04:12] all of them resulted in a error in one file and a error during install (desktop version) [04:12] Nichod: what about the checksum..?? if its ok then try booting from a usb [04:12] sdwrage, http://sanaulla.wordpress.com/2009/04/02/setting-java_home-in-ubuntu/ [04:12] developer: as i said i tried booting from a USB and the checksum was fine [04:13] Nichod: then whats the issue,,?? [04:13] XVirus: make him a desktop user -- iirc they can't issue a sudo [04:13] oddly enough the usb created with 9.10 didn't even work. [04:13] flacom: you might also need to have the vpn server continue the forward to the machine you're trying to reach.. [04:13] Nichod, when you say "error in one file", were you getting an error message? [04:13] Nichod, something isn't adding up. [04:13] Nichod: y..?? is the machine a new one??? [04:13] scunizi: that is... but I don't know how to do it [04:13] loops: the error in 1 file was when scanning the disc for errors [04:13] ANyone know how to configure fluxbox apps file? [04:13] Blue11: I'm not talking about manual mounting ... but automatic one [04:14] loops: using the built in scan tool on the disc [04:14] Nichod, which disk, the USB thumb drive? [04:14] XVirus: don't know how to disable that --- [04:14] Blue11: I disabled automatic mount already .. but the user can still mount the device when he clicks on it on nautilus's side pane [04:14] flacom: that's where I'll have to pass it to someone that knows more about vpn and the server side setup.. If there's no answer here. try in ##linux [04:14] Nichod: you understand that an md5sum check of the iso is not the same as an md5sum check of the burned disk? You need to do the latter.... [04:14] i have a question, does anyone here have a acer aspire one netbook? [04:14] XVirus: hmmm [04:15] loops: i technically tried installing 5 times. two of them using a CD and both times i checked the CD it said it had a file with an error. and it was from two different download locations that had sums checked [04:15] tweaksource, thx but figured it out :) ~/.profile [04:15] kronosx1: yes I have one [04:15] sdwrage, Cool. [04:15] ok, i am a ubuntu noob, how would i go about formatting the entire HD to reinstall XP using the restore disk. [04:16] Nichod, sometimes the disk-check does mess up. But lets ignore that for a second, what happened when you installed from USB thumb drive? [04:16] kronosx1, gparted, delete all. [04:16] kronosx1: u can use the live cd of ubuntu to format the harddisk [04:16] kronosx1: as part of the install options - that is one of the options - just choose all of the disc [04:16] kronosx1: the windows install disc should offer to do it for you [04:16] loops: it wouldn't even read from the USB drive. [04:16] loops: 9.04 ran from same usb drive fine. [04:16] developer: well the usb start drive remember netbooks have no optical drives by defination [04:16] Windows install disk won't touch ext3 [04:17] Nichod: do you still have the 9.10 cd you burned? [04:17] Nichod, my guess is you're having more than one problem. [04:17] the windows install disk actually is just a restore disk that is a copy of a stock hd. i think i have a xp disk somewhere. [04:17] ill try that and see what happens. [04:17] tweaksource: windows installation can delete ext3 partitions [04:18] windows gets dicey over mbr ownership [04:18] Nichod, i would ignore the disk-check and proceed with install, if it gives you an error, work from there [04:18] developer, Ok. I've never seen it recognize one. [04:18] Blue11: what u talkin about. [04:18] Blue11, Windows gets territorial over mbr ownership [04:18] loops: probably. just happy 9.04 is installed. just wondering if any known issues with 9.10 and hardware exist. any significant ones. i did do a search and came across other people that did the disk check and came up with the same error in a single file that had the same problem, but no one game a response to their problem on the forums. [04:18] flacom I think you need to add --client-to-client to your openvpn command line or client-to-client to your openvpn config file to enable internal routeing [04:18] loops: what I said... [04:19] i've installed windows several thousand times, and linux at least triple that [04:19] tweaksource: it will show the ext3 partitions as unrecognized...but we can easily delete it [04:19] Blue11, you said it too gently :o) [04:19] what, me too [04:19] yeah, the restore disk i have installs windows as though it is a 1:1 copy of my HD. I hate acer for doing that. [04:19] developer, You are right. I stand corrected. [04:19] kronosx1: the first thing I did was reformat the hd -- [04:19] tweaksource: even from a running windows we can see the partitions as unknown and healthy :) [04:20] how do I search for a package with apt? [04:20] i used the restore disk last night and it gave me a grub error. cant remember what one. [04:20] BitWraith: apt-cache search [04:20] True, but I usually only see ntfs from Ubuntu. [04:20] BitWraith: apt-cache search will do, i have a xp disk i just found and ill give that a try. [04:20] developer, I forget. [04:20] apt-cache search [04:20] sigh [04:20] thanks [04:20] developer, Only have Win in VBox now. [04:20] blue, one can use multiple search terms btw [04:20] and it does not have to be package name [04:21] tweaksource: ok.. [04:21] it can be any term also in the full description iirc [04:21] loops: how about any issues with scsi drives and karmic? [04:21] what: i think it will take any regular expression [04:21] The https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCamerasLogitechsite is showing that my webcam works with the driver gpsca, but how do I find out which module is? [04:21] Blue11: possibly, not tried that ;) [04:21] lopos: just trying to make sure if i do a jaunty update it will work (and i meant jaunty not karmic) [04:21] sacarlson: I'm not using openvpn [04:21] is longitech deluxe notebook [04:21] sacarlson: I'm using poptop [04:21] Hey guys, When I add something to ~/.profile, is it available right away??? [04:21] a search hasn't come across anything loops [04:21] Nichod, yes someone earlier complained of issue installing with SCSI cdrom, and had to go to USB [04:22] flacom oh sorry [04:22] sdwrage, you probably need to source it. Type "source ~/.profile" [04:22] i had problems with wifi connectivitiy - so I had to backport - then the connectivity problems went away - [04:22] loops: well it's a scsi hd [04:22] Blue11: yes, man apt-cache says that "search" will take a regexp.... [04:22] Nichod, could be a problem of course, it's a new kernel, there might be a regression [04:22] using control alt and F1..5 takes me to cmd prompt.. and using the same combination with F7 takes me to the GUI mode.. but on a 845 mobo P4 and 1 GB ram pc at home.. crtl alt F7 takes me to a blank screen instead.. how can i reset and enter.. i tried with /etc/init.d start but it says fail ..i even reconfigured xserver-xorg but still same issue [04:22] tweaksource: are u using VBOX OSE?? [04:22] Losha: i thought it would, but am too lazy to fire up a term window and do a man ;-) [04:23] c_nick: I assume restarting is not an option? [04:23] Nichod: is your issue that Karmic isn't working with scsi? if thats the case with the new kernel, you might issue a bug report [04:23] i want to instlal ubuntu ,what can i do? [04:23] dude: on what using what? [04:23] Nichod: do you have a 9.10 cd or did you do a usb install? [04:23] !install > dude [04:23] dude, please see my private message [04:23] yes [04:23] nickgarvey, uhhhh now I am getting this: The command could not be located because '/usr/bin' is not included in the PATH environment variable. [04:23] sudo: command not found [04:23] i ave a 9.10 cd [04:24] but my computer . [04:24] sdwrage: [04:24] sdwrage: what are you trying to do? [04:24] nickgarvey: well i have to restart [04:24] developer, I don't think so. Not from the repos. Would it say OSE? [04:24] no cd device [04:24] hey all... I have an issue I need some help with. It seems I have a broken package for Firefox. I was installing the beta. I have some dependancy issues. help, please [04:24] cat /etc/*release && cat /etc/*version [04:24] sdwrage: sounds like your .profile is a little bit messed up :) mind pastebinning it? [04:24] Blue11, set an environment variable for GRAILS [04:24] what do you get? pastebin it [04:24] !pastebin [04:24] 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 [04:24] nickgarvey: otherwise nothing seems to work.. even the live cd takes a whole lot of time .. i am running Ubuntu 9.04 Netbook Remix Edition [04:24] nickgarvey, I cant open it.... [04:24] tweaksource: from the repos the give OSE-OpenSourceEdition [04:24] re hello :) [04:24] sudo is not working now [04:25] tweaksource: you might have taken from SUN's site [04:25] sdwrage: try logging off then back on - and see if that fixes it [04:25] anybody knows an alarm software playing mp3? [04:25] sdwrage: so your terminal is down? are you able to open gedit? [04:25] sdwrage: using the gui that is [04:25] anybody knows an alarm software playing mp3? (for kde) [04:25] lemme try that [04:25] br [04:25] scunizi: yes, I'm in the networking channel, but I think is too late :P [04:25] victor__: mp3 - dunno wav yes.. kontact will to that [04:26] julio_ are you looking for #ubuntu-br? [04:26] developer, It is not OSE. I did download from Sun. Why do you ask? [04:26] I have an issue I need some help with. It seems I have a broken package for Firefox. I was installing the beta. I have some dependancy issues. help, please [04:26] Obsidian1723-2: the latest beta? [04:26] nickgarvey, ok now I saved it back to where it should be [04:26] scun yeah [04:26] tweaksource: i heard that the OSE version doesnt support USB sharing yet...wanted to know whether if they corrected it or not [04:27] basically reverted my changes and still no go [04:27] Obsidian1723-2, this is why people usually wait for the stable versions to be released as there are bugs in betas [04:27] Obsidian1723-2: have you tried a sudo apt-get purge ? [04:27] sdwrage: reverting your changes still doesn't let you use sudo? [04:27] blue, not yet [04:27] Obsidian1723-2, and I think Blue11's idea might help [04:27] nickgarvey, nope..... [04:27] gave me a bunch of errors [04:27] hold on ill pastebin [04:27] developer, Last I tried (a few months ago) there was no USB support. That's why I use the other. [04:27] victor__: perhaps kalarm (disclaimer: I don't run kde) [04:27] how to modify UNR 9.10 login window? i want username and password all needed , not show username. Login screen settings has little options and it's useless. [04:27] i tried removing compiz and compiz-core but then when i go in the netbook remix desktop everything lags.. but in normal desktop it seems to work well [04:27] I tried purge, even with -f and no go [04:28] Obsidian1723-2: hang on I think there is a ppa for that.. or install shiriko (spelling?) which is 3.5.. I have the latest 3.6 but it's auto updated.. hang on [04:28] scunizi: you thinking Shiretoko? === what is now known as you\all\fail\har [04:28] need help with dvd playback. [04:28] sdwrage: you might need to go into single user mode depending on your errors, do you know what that is or should I find some links about it? [04:28] c_nick: i don't run compiz on a netbook - not designed for that... [04:28] tweaksource: ok...by the way do you customize your distro....are you a customize maniac like me?? [04:28] scun, can I paste you the error? === you\all\fail\har is now known as you\fail\hard [04:28] edday: in Systems -> Adminstation ->login screen [04:28] nickgarvey, http://pastium.org/view/82668ca95367d42005dcb9bef8ed2f31 [04:28] c_nick: netbook works well with metacity.... [04:28] so Blue11 just removing compiz and compiz core worked for you ? [04:29] thechris, http://www.medibuntu.org/ === you\fail\hard is now known as dns\newbs [04:29] nickgarvey, it happened after you told me to do source ~/.profile [04:29] c_nick: I never installed them... [04:29] sdwrage: run that command again === dns\newbs is now known as what [04:29] nickgarvey, I did that already [04:29] meaning after I reverted [04:29] I redid source [04:29] and still... no go [04:29] sdwrage: and it did complete without errors? [04:29] good night, all [04:29] Trek: Obsidian1723-2 http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-daily [04:30] yeah it completed without errors [04:30] c_nick: you should be able to select system/preferences/appearance/visual effects/none [04:30] scun replace my current PPA with that one? [04:30] sdwrage: the errors you pasted, that is whenever you open up a terminal? [04:30] Blue yes i did that also i did sudo aptitude remove compiz compiz-core and also removed an additional package under compiz in Package Manager.. now.. i want to know after updating etc.. will it give me problems.. or am i supposed to upgrade my comp.i want to work and dont want to lose my work so taking extra precautions [04:30] Obsidian: no, add it in addition to the current ppa [04:30] nickgarvey, oh wait... that was the errors from source [04:30] sorry [04:30] Blue11: yes i did that also i did sudo aptitude remove compiz compiz-core and also removed an additional package under compiz in Package Manager.. now.. i want to know after updating etc.. will it give me problems.. or am i supposed to upgrade my comp.i want to work and dont want to lose my work so taking extra precautions [04:31] Obsidian: just incase something goes screwy [04:31] what else is needed for dvd playback than libdvdcss2? [04:31] sdwrage: ok, that is good in that we know the errors were in your .profile file [04:31] no, it is useless, it has only 2 options, 1st is Show the screen for choosing who will login in, 2nd is login as *** automatically [04:31] Blue11: but then why does CTRL ALT F7 give me blank screen [04:31] nickgarvey, but I took the two lines I added at the end out [04:31] thechris: install w32codecs too [04:31] and saved [04:31] sdwrage: can you rename .profile to .profile_bak and reopen bash? [04:31] c_nick: I don't know - like I said, I never installed it on a net book but usually choosing none disables compiz but leaves it installed - [04:31] k [04:31] Obsidian1723-2: not sure what ppa you have.. there's more to the address for the repo listing.. and you'll have to import the pgp key.. google PPA ubuntu mozilla [04:32] hi [04:32] Blue11: ok [04:32] thanks [04:32] Id love to google, but without Firefox.... how?

[04:33] nickgarvey, done [04:33] Blue11: :) [04:33] sdwrage: and luck? can you sudo and all of that? [04:33] sdwrage: any luck* [04:33] i want to return to the original ubuntu, after converting to kubuntu and not liking it i want to go back [04:33] nope :( [04:33] Obsidian1723-2: just download the tar.gz file extract it and run firefox script inside that [04:33] i cant figure out how [04:33] sdwrage: what error do you get? [04:33] nickgarvey, no :\ [04:33] okay taking a break bbl...how that helps some c_nick [04:33] Blue11: what your hardware description [04:33] Can someone give me the direct Deb download for Firefox 3.6? I can wget it [04:33] please2help [04:33] hold on [04:33] !puregnome | Walrus23 [04:33] Walrus23: If you want to remove all !KDE packages, type « sudo apt-get --purge remove kdelibs4c2a kdelibs5-data && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » into a !terminal [04:33] sdwrage@sdwrage-desktop:/usr$ sudo nano [04:33] Command 'sudo' is available in '/usr/bin/sudo' [04:33] The command could not be located because '/usr/bin' is not included in the PATH environment variable.

[04:35] then i lick on the settings menu and it doesnt like me [04:35] click** [04:35] sdwrage: regardless, can you pastebin the contents of that file? [04:35] wireless keyboard ftl [04:35] Is Login Screen Settings in UNR different from desktop edition? [04:35] nickgarvey, sure [04:35] sdwrage: if it is only one line paste it in here [04:36] developer, the guide at mediabuntu fails. from what I recall, this was a lot easier last year [04:36] Walrus23, once you install kde on a system running gnome, you cen never get rid of it without much pain [04:36] ahh [04:36] nickgarvey, what does source do anyways? [04:36] i should have fesized the partitions and separated them -.- [04:36] nickgarvey, http://pastium.org/view/24c7de02f37b074332de298e2466b551 [04:37] Walrus23, or you should have tried it in a virtual machine first [04:37] sdwrage: it reads the file for your shell, when you make changes to .bashrc or the like, source is used to update the shell with the information in that file [04:37] why does ln -s /path/to/file /usr/bin/file produce this?? ls: cannot access /usr/bin/file: Too many levels of symbolic links [04:37] sdwrage: is that your /etc/environment? [04:37] and now I get "software index is broken" [04:37] sdwrage: because if it is then that is clearly the problem [04:37] nnngh ona 1.6GHz mobile centrino lapto, you're pushing it to run xVM to play with windows 3.1, let alona a virtual ubuntu install [04:38] Out_Cold, first assumption : your target is already a symbolic link ? [04:38] nvm [04:38] airtonix, ok that's very possible [04:38] nickgarvey, I echoed my $PATH and it gave me GRAILS/bin.... [04:38] there was one other thing, but i've forgotten [04:39] NO_PUBKEY [04:39] so apparently I overwrote my $PATH [04:39] Hey, I have a 9800GTX+ and ubuntu insists on installing 18X drivers when there are 195.X drivers available. Does anybody know a way to force it? I installed it yesterday through the .bin installer + nvidia-xconfig and today it is like if I hadn't installed it before :/ [04:39] is there an easy way to reset $PATH? [04:39] oh yea, easy/difficuilt/impossible to run ubuntu on a G4 eMac? [04:39] maybe I should try to restart... [04:39] someone help me? I've tested all modules gspca and still getting the message Camera not found [04:39] Ok got ff downloaded, now what? [04:39] as well as mac OS [04:39] airtonix, hmm.. file 'file' gives 'file' : POSIX shell script text executable [04:39] sdwrage: that is what the /etc/environment is for, did you pastebin me the contents of that file or was that ~/.profile [04:39] what are all the apt-sources files? [04:40] DARKGuy: Uninstall the 18X thing first in Hardware Drivers (if you haven't done that). [04:40] nickgarvey, yes [04:40] There is a repository not in sources.list [04:40] http://pastium.org/view/24c7de02f37b074332de298e2466b551 [04:40] kinja-sheep: I never installed it in first place :P [04:40] and i need it to not be anywhere [04:40] How can I prevent normal users from mounting usb flash disks ? [04:40] kinja-sheep: but it insists on downloading it when I try to enable compiz :( [04:40] sdwrage: that was /etc/environment? if it was then could you open that file up for editing? [04:40] DARKGuy: Oh really? That is crazy. :\ [04:40] kinja-sheep: totally o.O [04:40] nickgarvey, no its not... it was ~/.profile [04:41] XVirus, remove them from the mounting group.. usually this is auto disabled i think [04:41] XVirus: there's probably a group you can remove them from [04:41] sdwrage: ah, what is /etc/environment? [04:41] hold on.. [04:41] Out_Cold: scunizi: what is the name of the group ? [04:41] kinja-sheep: and duh! it had 173 enabled :/ [04:41] wtf with nvidia and ubuntu, their drivers are always outdated :( [04:41] XVirus, not too sure... will look now [04:41] well it seems instead of dvd playback, i broke apt [04:41] plugdev ? [04:41] XVirus: check out Out_Cold 's post just above mine [04:41] nickgarvey, PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games" [04:41] DARKGuy: See !latest for a reason. [04:41] Anyone know how to fix apt? [04:42] but I had a few things on the path like ruby, php, etc [04:42] !latest [04:42] 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. [04:42] Scun, I have Firefox downloaded, now what? [04:42] kinja-sheep: Ah I see XD. Well at least it's not debian @.@. Is there a way to have the latest of the latest ? [04:42] when i try to install mplayer it becomes broken because of libdvdpau: dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libvdpau1_0.3-0ubuntu3_i386.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/libvdpau.so.1', which is also in package nvidia-185-libvdpau 0:185.18.36-0ubuntu9 [04:42] sdwrage: try "source /etc/environment" [04:42] k.. [04:42] XVirus, it may be plugdev but i'd confirm this with someone else [04:43] Out_Cold: it's not plugdev anyways [04:43] DARKGuy: For your Nvidia issues, you might want to try #nvidia -- Also, if you want to have latest of the latest (in everything), consider using ArchLinux at the least. [04:43] nickgarvey, perfect, that worked === NotTooSmart is now known as Kyus [04:43] hellow!!! [04:43] kinja-sheep: I have, but it's a pain to maintain, so that's why I moved to Ubuntu to *use* the PC instead of tweak with it, but this is ridiculous. [04:43] now where should I be adding to path? I am trying to follow this installation article: http://www.grails.org/installation [04:44] sdwrage: good, double check the .profile you were trying to use as there was some sort of error in it [04:44] nickgarvey, ^^ [04:44] sdwrage: ah ok one second [04:44] kinja-sheep: and this isn't an nvidia issue, it's an *ubuntu* issue :/ [04:44] nickgarvey, thx for the help btw [04:44] sdwrage: yup [04:44] i need to un-update apt [04:44] Does anyone know how to un-update apt? [04:45] DARKGuy: It also does mean they might know how to overcome this *ubuntu* issue -- if that's an *ubuntu* issue or *nvidia* issue. [04:45] osirisx11: sudo apt-get --force-yes install libdvdpau [04:45] XVirus, i'm pretty sure it's plugdev: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingANewHardDrive [04:45] onetinsoldier: thanks for the fix but can you educate me a bit too? [04:45] "or in a more flexible way, practical if you have several users, allow for instance the users in the plugdev group (usually those who are meant to be able to mount removable disks, desktop users) to create files and sub-directories on the disk:" [04:45] kinja-sheep: well in that you're right, I guess I'll give it a shot [04:46] DARKGuy: And the fact that you said you moved to Ubuntu to *use* the PC, forget about 19X, just use the *d* thing. Don't tweak it. :-) [04:46] Out_Cold: the user is not in plugdev and he can mount usb flash disks by clicking their icon in nautilus side pane [04:46] guess i'm not throwing out enough buzzwords [04:46] hellloo! [04:46] XVirus, read the link [04:46] help me! [04:46] Out_Cold: fine .. thanks [04:46] sdwrage: what directory did you checkout grails from? === Mowee is now known as Mowee`Bnc [04:46] sdwrage: well into I mean [04:46] kinja-sheep: XD I would, but video drivers are very, -very- important for me to have updated :P.... software can stay on "stable" for all I care xD [04:47] thechris, do you want to downgrade the application "apt"? [04:47] nickgarvey, currently it sits in ~/grails [04:47] sdwrage: ~/grails? [04:47] sdwrage: alright [04:47] XVirus, what's the system on the flash? fat? [04:47] onetinsoldier: E: Couldn't find package libdvdpau [04:47] Out_Cold: yes [04:47] sdwrage: and can you confirm that ~/grails/grails/bin exists? [04:47] osirisx11: yeah. that command will force the 'overwriting' of the already existing /usr/lib/libvdpau.so.1 file. however, if you ever remove the ' pnvidia-185-libvdpau' package, you system would still be expecting that file to be on it [04:47] nickgarvey, I will dbl check [04:47] XVirus, what other groups is that user apart of? [04:48] nickgarvey, its ~/grails/bin [04:48] loops, no, i want to undo whatever added mediabuntu to apt's list of repositories [04:48] Out_Cold: dialout, fax, cdrom, tape, audio, dip, video, netdev, sambashare [04:48] I have an issue I need some help with. It seems I have a broken package for Firefox. I was installing the beta. I have some dependancy issues. help, please [04:48] osirisx11: ok, maybe it's libvdpau1, sorry [04:48] sdwrage: alright, then add PATH="$HOME/grails/bin:$HOME/grails/ant/bin:$PATH" [04:48] osirisx11: sudo apt-get --force-yes install libdvdpau1 [04:48] sdwrage: to your profile [04:49] sdwrage: .profile I mean [04:49] sdwrage: and then source it === Walrus23 is now known as W[a]lrus23 [04:49] thechris, okay.. try going into system -> administration -> software sources and remove that repo [04:50] I have an issue I need some help with. It seems I have a broken package for Firefox. I was installing the beta. I have some dependancy issues. help, please [04:50] onetinsoldier: no entries for anything starting with libdvdp [04:50] nickgarvey, ok lemme try that [04:50] XVirus, IIRC last time i made a seperate user, i had to su root to mount it.. as i wasn't in the plugdev group. maybe there are mounting permissions that are overriding the group? [04:50] kinja-sheep: well just in case, this seems to fix it ^_^ -> http://www.webupd8.org/2009/08/how-to-install-nvidia-190xx-drivers-in.html [04:50] osirisx11: hmmm, sorry. hang on. let me read the error message again! [04:50] Out_Cold: could it be my /etc/sudoers ? .. give me a sec [04:51] loops, wow, that seems to have worked. i wonder what non sources.list file it got that from? [04:51] nickgarvey, now I need to set JAVA_HOME [04:51] apparently thats not set... im guessing same spot? [04:51] thechris, dunno.. but shouldn't be a problem [04:51] XVirus, if they are in the sudoers file then i would assume that would override the plugdev [04:51] osirisx11: please try the following and tell me what you get.... [04:51] sdwrage: make sure java is install, it should be set automatically [04:51] XVirus: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/how-to-disable-usb-mass-storage-device-usb-drive-in-linux-651262/ [04:51] Out_Cold: they user is very restricted in the sudoers file .. but let me check something [04:51] osirisx11: cd /var/cache/apt/archives [04:51] DARKGuy: Thanks for the head up. [04:52] loops, i still get "software index is broken" [04:52] nickgarvey, hrm good point :P [04:52] Obsidian1723-2: sudo apt-get purge firefox xulrunner [04:52] osirisx11: ls libvdp* [04:52] kinja-sheep: no prob :p [04:52] scunizi: this isn't what I want [04:52] Obsidian1723-2: then sudo apt-get install firefox [04:52] kb will try [04:52] onetinsoldier: no matches [04:52] thechris, at a command prompt type: sudo apt-get install -f [04:53] Out_Cold: it's not an /etc/sudoers issue :-( [04:53] osirisx11: i'm not sure what's happening. the error message leads me to really believe that the following file exists on your system --> /var/cache/apt/archives/libvdpau1_0.3-0ubuntu3_i386.deb [04:54] wont let me purcge it [04:54] Obsidian1723-2: go to synaptic package manager, edit tab, click 'fix broken packages' [04:54] tried that [04:54] XVirus, perhaps you can get the rclocal to remove the usb module? [04:54] sudo apt-get purge firefox xulrunner [04:54] Building dependency tree [04:54] loops, well, i don't really think it matters. I can't get dvds to play. I don't know why, i can play mpegs, have vlc, and have dvdcss [04:54] Reading state information... Done [04:54] You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these: [04:54] The following packages have unmet dependencies: [04:54] firefox: Depends: firefox-branding but it is not going to be installed or [04:54] abrowser-branding but it is not going to be installed [04:54] firefox-3.5-branding: Depends: firefox-branding but it is not going to be installed [04:54] Obsidian1723-2: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:55] Out_Cold: I don't want to disable usb [04:55] sdwrage: it actually didn't automatically do it for me, add this to your .profile (after install java): export JAVA_HOME=/usr/bin/java/ [04:55] Out_Cold: I'm setting a very restricted environment where the user can only mount a usb flash disk by double clicking a shell script on his desktop that mounts the thing in read only mode [04:55] osirisx11: i know another way to try and fix this [04:55] nickgarvey, ok ill add that [04:56] Isnt RTL8187 driver supported by kismet? [04:56] onetinsoldier: mplayer: Depends: libvdpau1 (>= 0.3) but it is not going to be installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution). [04:56] :( [04:56] osirisx11: ok, try the --> apt-get -f install .... then [04:56] Out_Cold: any more clues ? [04:57] sdwrage: hey I need to go, it looks like that should do it but if not then I'm sure someone else in here can help you out. good luck [04:57] i'm still stuck on the plugdev group.... not too sure where to go from there. [04:57] user of kismet, is the source driver RTL8187 not supported by kismet? [04:57] onetinsoldier: dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libvdpau1_0.3-0ubuntu3_i386.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/libvdpau.so.1', which is also in package nvidia-185-libvdpau 0:185.18.36-0ubuntu9 Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/libvdpau1_0.3-0ubuntu3_i386.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [04:57] am I just hosed? [04:58] XVirus, maybe a reboot after the removal of the plugdev group to initialize the change? [04:58] osirisx11: sudo mv /usr/lib/libvdpau.so.1 /usr/lib/libvdpau.so.1.old [04:58] Out_Cold: I'm sure i did that :-( [04:58] Out_Cold: a reboot is not even necessary [04:59] i didn't think so :o/ [04:59] meh, i've wasted all the time i care to on this. I'll just use something that actually plays dvds for now and get this computer set up later [04:59] XVirus, can i see a pastebin of the group and sudoers? [04:59] Hey guys... getting this path error... grails: JAVA_HOME is not defined correctly; can not execute: /usr/bin/java//bin/java [04:59] any ideas? [04:59] onetinsoldier: done, now try to install mplayer again? [05:00] Out_Cold: I remove the user from sudoers so there is no need to check it [05:00] osirisx11: yes.. try --> apt-get -f install [05:00] oooh...... XVirus maybe remove the entry from /etc/mtab??? [05:00] onetinsoldier: still same error like apt-get is expecting it to be there regardless of whether it is there or not [05:01] osirisx11: strange. i'm not sure what to make of this [05:01] osirisx11: you're sure the following file is not on your system? --> /var/cache/apt/archives/libvdpau1_0.3-0ubuntu3_i386.deb [05:02] anyone? [05:02] Hey guys... getting this path error... grails: JAVA_HOME is not defined correctly; can not execute: /usr/bin/java//bin/java [05:02] Out_Cold: the entry inside mtab is the one in my script that the user uses to mount [05:02] onetinsoldier: it is [05:02] Out_Cold: not the entry of the /media/drive [05:03] osirisx11: just edit /var/lib/dpkg/status (make a copy first) and remove the paragraph for nvidia-185-libvdpau 0:185.18.36-0ubuntu9. This will make your system forget all about the nvidia package and should allow you do install mplayer.... [05:03] Out_Cold: I gtg now .. will be back in 30 minutes .. if you're not here by then .. I want to thank you a lot for your time [05:03] osirisx11: it is there?? [05:03] nvm got it [05:03] :) [05:03] onetinsoldier: yes [05:03] osirisx11: ok.. do the following --> dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/libvdpau1_0.3-0ubuntu3_i386.deb [05:04] osirisx11: then try to install mplayer again. bet it works this time [05:04] onetinsoldier: i don't think it was earlier, pastebinning you [05:04] I have an issue I need some help with. It seems I have a broken package for Firefox. I was installing the beta. I have some dependancy issues. I've tried sudo apt-get -f install/purge/autoremove etc, all no go. [05:04] Hi guys!! Do you know how to make the rtl8187 drive work in the kismet??? [05:04] i'm going to eat.... please forward all my mail to ubottu [05:05] osirisx11: ok [05:05] onetinsoldier: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/mc5fd17f [05:05] julio_, use aircrack-utils.. more specifically the driver util... airdriver-ng maybe?? [05:05] now going [05:06] onetinsoldier: that did work! [05:06] onetinsoldier: thanks!! [05:06] osirisx11: cool. thought it would [05:06] osirisx11: you're welcome. enjoy [05:06] osirisx11: :-) [05:07] Out_Cold, How can I use that "aircrack-utils"? I just know to use kismet and then aircrack, and the kismet is not identifying my drive === John is now known as Guest46845 [05:08] julio_: i really don't think you should be trying to use those tools without any knowledge of how to configure them [05:08] i agree [05:08] blakkheim, i'm learning [05:09] julio_, you aren't going to make any sense of what kismit spits out anyways [05:09] Well forcing the install worked [05:09] blakkheim, the problem is that the rtl8187 is not listed in the kismet site [05:09] julio_: learning would be reading the documentation, not asking questions that you can find the answers for yourself on their wiki/man pages [05:09] yay [05:09] julio_, i was using the rtl8187 for monitoring... not kismet [05:09] blakkheim, my drive is not listed in the documentation, so I tried the mac80211 and it didn work [05:10] julio_: so then why are you still asking? [05:10] how can i grab the kernel version as named by www.kernel.org ( for example 2.6.32.2) instead of the conventionnal names that distributions use , for example, ubuntu would name his kernel (2.6.32-generic) & gentoo ( 2.6.32-foo) ... knowing that are the same kernels [05:10] oh... no it won't work in the mac driver [05:10] blakkheim, Cause nothing has worked and I wanna see if you have the solution [05:11] julio_: if nothing has worked it's either over your head or not GOING to work. === maximo is now known as Maximo [05:11] paissad: you download the kernel from kernel.org. then you configure the kernel. then you compile it, and finally, install it [05:11] blakkheim, haha [05:11] onetinsoldier, i know how to do that, but that's not my question mate [05:11] blakkheim, well man I'm just trying to find something here [05:11] julio_, start here http://forums.remote-exploit.org/general-discussion/18552-install-rtl8187-driver-ubuntu.html [05:12] evening folks, anyone know a command to tell me the video driver i'M using ? === testink_ is now known as Moat [05:12] Out_Cold, thanks I'll take a look! [05:12] paissad: ok. sorry. guess i didn't quite know what you meant by 'grab' [05:12] onetinsoldier, how can we retreive the orginal kernel version without doing regexp on the uname -r | a [05:12] and a heads up julio_ don't ask those wonderful people stupid questions or they will shun you [05:13] I am going to get a blu ray burner can ubuntu burn blu ray discs? [05:13] hey I messed up with the sources list how can i revert ioit back to factory settings? [05:14] now when i try to install firefox all those pre release things comes up [05:14] i dont want that... :( [05:14] somebody? [05:14] Out_Cold, Thanks for the tips! === idiot is now known as Guest19087 [05:14] obscurant1st, just remove the links that you added or # them out [05:14] Anyone know where to get drivers for my realtek audio? Or how to make it work. haha... [05:15] i dont know which i hv added or how many i hv added. [05:15] can i get it from internet i meant the default list? [05:15] n btw # them out means? [05:16] * Rubbberducky hates realtek. :( [05:16] * reactor too [05:16] lol good [05:16] xD [05:17] does yours at least work?? [05:17] onetinsoldier: I read it the same as you did. I wondered if there were any ubuntu-specific diffs applied to standard kernel for ubuntu? [05:17] Rubbberducky, yes [05:17] In Hardware Drivers it says "Alternate Atheros madwifi driver" "This driver is activated but currently not in use". How can I make it be used? [05:17] obscurant1st: wich version of ubuntu you use? [05:17] karmic 9.10 trooperi [05:18] reactor: mine does not. Did you have to DL drivers? [05:18] obscurant1st, here is my list from /etc/apt/sources.list: http://pastebin.com/m623169e8 and # means comment them out, or make the lines not read by your computer [05:18] Rubbberducky, I have realtek adsl router given me by isp, but it drops my connection if it thinks it's "overloaded" [05:18] Losha: i'm pretty sure there are [05:18] Rubbberducky, do u mean realtek soundcard? [05:18] plouffe: select it and click enable at the bottom of the window [05:18] Reactor: ohhh lame. I have built in realtek audio. I hate it. [05:18] thanks Out_Cold [05:18] I will try with that..:D [05:19] IdleOne, there is no enable button . Only close and Deactivate [05:19] Rubbberducky, no I didn't dl any driverz while I had builtin realtek: it woked [05:19] reactor: Well youre lucky. :( [05:19] IdleOne, in the Hardware Drivers window [05:19] plouffe: not sure then sorry [05:20] is there a way to control what core a process runs on? [05:20] Rubbberducky, I zapped it with 220 by accident then it burnt and I bought external souncard :P [05:20] Losha: if you look at this page, over on the right, you'll see an 'orig' and 'diff' downloads --> http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/linux-image-2.6.32-11-generic [05:20] plouffe, what are you trying to do ? [05:20] obscurant1st, i would compare the lists instead of copying from mine [05:20] ooops.. [05:21] i aleady copied it.. [05:21] any problem?>?? :o [05:21] onetinsoldier: yeah, I see it mentions 'ubuntu patches'.... [05:21] Losha: yep [05:21] Reactor: I have a beautiful Presonus Firestudio mobile audio interface that is not supported. :( [05:21] obscurant1st, well could be that you are using another distro or perhaps the servers are located half way around the world? [05:21] Pelo trying to get my wifi to work [05:21] Rubbberducky, huh? wht is it? [05:22] plouffe, ok, carry on, I can't help with that [05:22] anyone plays urban terror 4.1 here? [05:22] Reactor: Its a Firewire interface used for high quality recording with microphones [05:22] ohh .. :( [05:22] Rubbberducky: might be with "jack".. medibuntu repos will give you various higher end audio programs and "jack" [05:22] anyway atleast it is working fine now i think [05:22] Rubbberducky, cool [05:23] paissad: I think the answer to your question is that the original string is lost when you set a new kernel name, so you'll have to use a regexp [05:23] i did al these things for updating the firefox to 3.6 [05:23] Rubbberducky, maybe it does need proprietary driv3z0rz? [05:23] but i ended up in installing 3.6 pre [05:23] :( [05:23] Losha, ok [05:23] scunizi: I am running Ubuntu Studio because it came with all those doo hickeys, I just dont have the slightest idea how to use them and I guess my interface isnt supported [05:23] yuo have any idea on how to install this firefox 3.6? [05:24] Is there any command to view my CD drives, like lsusb or lspci? [05:24] ? [05:24] obscurant1st, i havent tried yet but why do you need 3.6? [05:24] actually 1 cool option is ther with firefox and some more bla bla features.. [05:25] obscurant1st, if you must install build-essentials then compile the 3.6 source from mozilla [05:25] Rubbberducky: firewire sometimes requires different libraries to function.. I have a firewire pci card that functioned in 6.06 but doesn't in 8.10-9.04-9.10.. at least yet.. I use it for my camera [05:25] obscurant1st, or search for a 3.6 deb online... [05:25] the cool thing is when i liked is when we hover over the firefox themes in the theme gallery the whole firefox changes to that theme, a nice preview feature. [05:25] i liked it. [05:25] sargento: why you need that command? your cdrom can't work? [05:26] proprietary: Its things like that that make me want to just use the built in sound. that doesnt seem to work, lol. [05:26] Would someone please help me install nvidia drivers on kubuntu? In hardware drivers dialog it doesnt show the drivers. How should I get it? [05:26] its not available yet. i mean the .deb. [05:26] :( [05:26] scunizi** [05:26] sargento: may be ls /dev/sdx something, x point to sda or sdb. [05:26] obscurant1st, might not work the same way in linux if that was the windows version [05:26] tolpico: you need to askin #kubuntu [05:26] oh.... :| [05:26] obscurant1st, build from source then.. it's easier than you think [05:26] MaikeGuo, that's right. It appears on Computer like CD Drive, I inserted an audio CD but It doesn't mount it [05:26] any thats why i wanted to update to the new version. [05:26] tolpico: you can downlosd from nv web site, and directly install it. [05:27] Rubbberducky: understandable [05:27] or just the software package manage for install nvidia deb package. [05:27] MikeGuo, that's right. It appears on Computer like CD Drive, I inserted an audio CD but It doesn't mount it. I double-cliked it but nothing happens [05:27] hey guys I have Karmic 9:10 and I need to go back 8:04 LTS ...how do I do this? [05:27] oh, i donno why i didnt think about that, btw from where can i download the firefox sources, if its not too much to ask,, [05:28] new to all this... [05:28] I'm also searchin, bt if you knw pls giv me the link [05:28] Maximo: you have to install 8.04 from scratch, there is no downgrade capability.... [05:28] Maximo: you install 8.04 LTS fresh [05:28] Sup? [05:28] What just insert cd and thats it? [05:29] Maximo: are you just wanting the stability of an LTS release? [05:29] no... [05:29] Maximo: why do you need 8.04? just curious... [05:29] just screwed my system up [05:29] Maximo you might want to run Ubuntu 8.04 in Vertualbox in Ubuntu 9.1 , not sure why you want 8.04 [05:29] Hrm... Whats up? [05:29] is the only one have available at the moment [05:29] see? [05:29] no more [05:30] obscurant1st, i would start at firefox homepage [05:30] anyone having sound problems when playing urban terror 4.1 for linux? [05:30] I'm trying to move a linux system from one partition to another, its all contained in one partition. Everything kinda works but update-grub is still pointing to the old partition number for the kernels [05:30] Maximo: yes, just put in the cd and install. The catch is, you lose any 9.10 configuration. Save your /home somewhere safe if it has anything important in it. [05:30] another question: suppose just wanna reinstall Karmic 9:10 how do I do that? [05:30] Yeah I am doing it [05:30] :D [05:31] n now joined #firefox to ask this [05:31] :D [05:31] obscurant1st, i would assume that their topic would tell you such info [05:32] Losha: nothing important just alittle program I run thats it... [05:32] | Firefox 3.6 released http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html | [05:32] Losha: how do I back it up? [05:32] Maximo: same answer, put in the cd and install. Maybe I'm missing something, because the answer seems so simple? [05:33] Maximo: copy it somewhere: to a blank cd or dvd, or to a different disk, or to a spare partition. Depends on your hardware.... [05:33] Losha: I upgraded it from previous version into 9:10 [05:33] hey all. I just accidentally sudo make install a program and now it has to be run as root. I am willing to bet if I reran the install as a normal user it would fail trying to over write the existing files. Is there any way to go back? [05:34] Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04 broadband issue [05:34] pppoeconf not connecting [05:34] Losha: oh I see [05:34] munk, you have to sudo make install.... [05:34] any help pl? [05:34] hi, does anybody know why the ubuntu pastebin is now private? [05:35] Vishal_: what's that? I mean your problem. [05:35] Out_Cold, but now the program has to be run as root. It never did before. [05:35] pppoeconf not connecting [05:35] munk, change the permissions of the /usr/bin/file to 777 [05:35] munk, that's assuming that you want anyone to access it [05:35] Vishal__: did you make sure you did the correct configuration?

[05:53] munk: does your path include /usr/local/bin ? [05:54] probably not, how do I add it? [05:54] osirisx11: in all seriousness, you're running a free OS. There are no warranties. You could write a shell script that runs ping periodically, and when it fails, does an ifconfig, I suppose.... [05:54] how come faillog doesn't show enteries, instead they go to auth.log by default in ubuntu? [05:55] Losha: :( [05:55] munk: running bash? Look for PATH in your .bashrc and add /usr/local/bin to it.... [05:56] i got os x on sda2, XP on sda1, and would like to install ubuntu on sdb3....anyone know how this will work with grub and whatnot? i would like to continue using XP's bootloader (so to not break it lol) [05:57] antonius, when you install grub will overwrite the xp bootloader [05:57] how can i fix the problem in firefox unknown property zoom declaration dropped line 3 [05:58] pelo: yes i know...i think there is an option to install grub to the same partition as / [05:58] antonius, if you donT insall grub , you won'T be able to boot ubuntu because the xp boot loader won'T see it [05:58] tim: have you tried the #firefox channel? [05:58] * osirisx11 waves to mattgyver [05:58] how do i disable mouse accel in games? xset m 0 0 doesnt do jack [05:58] antonius, grub need to install in the boot sector [05:59] is it possible just to upgrade to a later gnome version with apt-get? [05:59] Pelo: that sux...guess it's linux virtualbox's for me...darn I really miss linux too [05:59] question for ya, I have had to switch back to debian as i find that xubuntu is not stable enough for my use, however I have found that debian xfce install is missing the nice themes included with xubuntu 9.10, any one know where in the directory tree they are installed [05:59] Fudge, no , you only get fixes and stuff from the repos, you only get new version with new releases [05:59] no i'm not very good at this [05:59] baz: Ask in #xubuntu [05:59] Fudge: you mean a version of gnome from a newer version of ubuntu? [06:00] ha [06:00] yes using 8.10 [06:00] pelo: well, grub doesn't see OS X, for some reason, the chainloader option works fine with loading XP, but it seems it won't load my os x partition [06:00] Fudge: nope. i don't hink you can [06:00] Fudge: nope. i don't think* you can [06:01] antonius, I don'T know about that part , you might want to ask in #grub but be very patient, it's not a busy channel [06:01] Fudge: that depends entirely on whether the ubuntu team bothered to put an upgraded version in the repository. Using synaptic, you should be able to see if there's a newer version available. If not, your only recourse is probably to compile it yourself, which would probably be a lot of work/// [06:01] any mac users here? does grub recognize ur os x partition? [06:01] think might stear away from that thanks [06:01] pelos: thx again === argonaut_ is now known as argonaut [06:02] Fudge: whats in the newer version that you can't live without?

[06:06] Ari_Lazarus_, what you need to install is a driver package with glx in the name [06:06] assuming the one you have installed doesnT' have it already [06:07] Hmm. I do [06:07] Ari_Lazarus_: it's in hardy, so it's probably in jaunty. Try apt-cache search opengl [06:07] #xubuntu [06:07] glitz-glx1 [06:07] * Pelo is gonna shut up now insase his advice leads to another disaster [06:07] sparky13: type /join #xubuntu [06:07] #xubuntu [06:07] Must driver must be bonkers then. [06:07] Ari_Lazarus_: For intel and ati cards, the open source drivers provide opengl through mesa. With nvidia, you must install their proprietary driver [06:07] Ari_Lazarus_: Are you having a problem with 3D? [06:08] Minecraft [06:08] If you've heard of it [06:08] Ari_Lazarus_: Which card do you have? [06:08] Some crappy Intel integrated card, let me check [06:08] Pelo: sometimes it all just goes horribly wrong. Even the pros make mistakes. Be glad you aren't a surgeon....

[06:45] newbuntu2: according to digg.com ext4 is the best filesystem ever lol [06:45] Newbuntu2, any special type of media or just a hdd ? [06:46] !tab | antonius [06:46] antonius: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [06:46] Pelo: just a plain hdd - accessible via network, so blinding performance not necessary - but is there a particularly good one for, eg, power losses, etc [06:46] Newbuntu2, ext4 is up to the job [06:46] basically, which is the most robust [06:46] i use a 500gb external caddy,, NTFS,, works great [06:47] Quan-Time_, ntfs support is not 100% in linux, much better then it was but not 100% [06:47] honestly, newbuntu2, if you use different OS, FAT32 of NTFS...OS X, windows, and linux can read write all of those [06:47] Pelo: I thought ext4 holds data in the cache for a long time before writing - hence not the best? [06:47] whereas ext3 syncs every 5 sec [06:47] i got my laptop and i have win7 and i set the boot setup to cd as it boots up...now im in the process of installing kubuntu....it appears i'm in disk setup...how can i install it without a rewritting my win7 os? all i can see is /dev/sda1 ntfs until sda4.....i don't know which of that my win7 is runnin....so which one i will choose to install kubuntu? i got 3 partition each partition is 80gb how can i know that drive ain't used by win7? [06:47] but it writes metadata/journal first, then the data... [06:47] ext4 is deafult for 9.10, right? [06:47] Newbuntu2, you seem to be more knowlegdable about this then I am [06:48] reisio: yes [06:48] pat|nG: look at them, see if they're empty [06:48] pat|nG, Is only Win7 installed now? [06:48] pat|nG: should be auto-mounted if they're NTFS already [06:48] Newbuntu2: thanks [06:48] yes [06:48] pat|nG, in the installation process you will be asked where to isntall, you'll be given the option to repartition if you need to make room [06:48] tweaksource: yes....it's new actually [06:48] reisergs is supposed to be good too.... [06:49] it's not, it's bad :p [06:49] Newbuntu2, yes but it will murder your wife [06:49] * Pelo just couldn'T resist [06:49] try harder :p [06:49] lol [06:49] pelo: i didn't get that info actually it just choices to setup manually [06:49] pat|nG, So, there exists sda2 & 3? [06:49] i did manually [06:49] reiser is very good when you want something fast for files you _do not care about_ [06:49] Newbuntu2, reiserfs or um murderfs as it has come to be know probably isn't such a good recommendation these days... [06:49] do i need to hit back? [06:50] I would suggest that you need to examine your partition schem [06:50] I guess ext3 it is, then [06:50] pat|nG, scheme [06:51] Newbuntu2, I still have issues from ext4, last I tried it. [06:51] sda1 0.0%(100MB) sda2 35.5%(78.0GB) sda3 33.5% (78.1GB) sda4 32.9% (76.6GB) [06:52] pat|nG, You made sda2, sda3 and sda4 correct? [06:52] it is already made by the techman from the shop i bought my notebook [06:52] pat|nG, You are using the Live cd? [06:53] yes [06:53] What is the output of 'fdisk -l', please? [06:53] and i chose setup manually [06:53] pat|nG, Pastebin [06:53] pat|nG, tweaksource - you will need to use "sudo fdisk -l" btw [06:54] ZykoticK9, Of course, you are correct. [06:54] g'night folks [06:54] tweaksource: i can't coz it's runnin manually i didn't used wubi app [06:54] coz i want to install it not under win7 [06:54] i wan't a full kubuntu os runnin on my laptop [06:55] Newbuntu2: i concur, you've done ur research, and ext3 is probably ur best choice [06:55] pat|nG, Are you using a live cd with a desktop running? [06:55] pat|nG, Or are you saying that you are in alternate install? [06:55] IF I have users jailed into their home directories, and I specify myself to not be jailed so I can browse the server, what access do I give to /var/www in order me to access it? right now its root:root. [06:56] pat|nG: there're really only three possibilities: unpartitioned space you can install to, empty partitions you can delete and install to, and partitions you have to resize to make empty space to install to [06:56] avidemux works a charm !! cheers for the suggestion ppls. [06:56] all pretty easy to determine [06:56] Quan-Time_: for what? [06:57] l [06:57] anyone have a "lamens book" on permissions? [06:58] reisio: how can i determine that partition ain't used by win7? [06:58] Dravekx: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/permissions.html [06:58] pat|nG, In any event, sda1 is likely Win7. If you just manually created sda2, sda3, and sda4, then pick one of those. [06:58] pat|nG, Win7 partition will have an NTFS file system. [06:59] reisio, thx [06:59] pat|nG: there's going to be a big partition that Windows 7's core files are on === jony123 is now known as j0ny123 [06:59] pat|nG: any partition that comes _after_ that, that is devoid of data, you can most likely safely obliterate [06:59] anybody speak german? [06:59] winfried: #ubuntu-de [07:00] !de | winfried [07:00] winfried: In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuchen Sie bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Geben Sie einfach /join #ubuntu-de ein! Danke für Ihr Verständnis. [07:03] that's a lot of words to say '#ubuntu-de' :p [07:03] why say it when you can write a script to do it too? [07:03] so... [07:03] reisio: indeed [07:04] yeah aubuntu satanic works very well [07:04] alftwo: I could put 'ude' into XChat's auto replacements :p [07:04] or I could just type '#ubuntu-de' [07:04] If I give myself ownership of a directory, and I give someone else ownership of a sub directory, can they access it???? [07:04] takes approximately the same time [07:04] Dravekx: the sub-directory? [07:04] heh [07:05] reisio, yes. did I say that wrong? lol [07:05] Dravekx: didn't you already read that book ? :D [07:05] Dravekx: just wanted to be clear [07:05] yeah, Im still lost though. [07:05] if someone owns a sub-directory, they own it [07:05] Dravekx: you probably own /home/youruser/, for example [07:05] you do not own / [07:05] /home/youruser/ is a sub directory of / === shady is now known as hexd [07:06] reisio, ok, let me see if I got this right. lol [07:06] when you own something, you own it [07:06] ubuntu-satanic helps me trought the day [07:06] does cedega demo with SPORE work with python 2.6.4 [07:06] what's that? [07:07] (@alter) [07:07] reisio, I have ownership of /var/www, inside are symlinks that connect to user home directories, that will work correct? [07:07] Dravekx: define work ;) [07:08] i installed virtualbox, by downloading debian package from site, wat is the command to open it now? [07:08] the users can put web pages in their home directories and be seen on the net [07:08] ? [07:08] !modinfo [07:08] oh, im retarded.. Im doing that now with root. lol [07:08] explore2: try vbox or virtualbox [07:08] Explore2, Virtualbox [07:08] duh [07:10] if my boot partition is out of space, i can just delete some of the old kernels? [07:10] anyone have a suggestion on how to rip the audio from an mp4 video taken from a cellphone? [07:10] inertial: Yeah, remove their packages through your favorite package manager (linux-image-[version] is the package) [07:11] BinaryMan, ffmpeg [07:11] cool [07:11] it works. [07:11] mplayer -dumpaudio foo.mp4 [07:11] that simple? [07:11] well not exactly, it doesn't work for all formats [07:12] don't recall if it does for mp4 [07:12] ubuntu satanic is a very nice skin for ubuntu [07:12] Hello!!!! ha) How can I know which package is include epsf.tex file???? [07:12] BinaryMan, ffmpeg -i input.mp4 out.mp3 [07:12] When I return the computer from Hibernation I (almost always) have to enter my root password "for the default keyring to unlock for nm-applet" - this is REALLY annoying - anyway to make it remember the permission?? [07:12] the appearance looks very gothic but nice [07:12] can throw in -vn if it has trouble dropping the video [07:13] tweaksource: the audio is in aac. will ffmpeg automagically transcode the aac to mp3? [07:13] yup [07:13] get foobar2000 [07:13] install wine and get foobar2000 [07:13] BinaryMan, Works for me [07:13] probably pretty low quality already, though, if it's from a cell phone [07:13] forget those complex cryptic command like commands [07:13] reisio, Agree. [07:13] In which package is included epsf.tex? Which command should I use for it? [07:13] alteregoa: i have a virtual machine with fb2k already on it, and i like the command line. [07:14] (meaning why convert it) [07:14] for a single file ok, but for tons nah [07:14] reisio: i was thinking the same thing. if it sounds like crap, i won't keep it. [07:14] who needs a GUI when you can use mplayer -slave :) [07:15] BinaryMan: you could also just do mplayer -novideo foo.mp4 :p [07:15] thats why i work for xerox, developing gui [07:16] reisio, I've always used ffmpeg. Why do you prefer mplayer? [07:16] tweaksource: for playing [07:17] 'mplayer -slave' was re: foobar [07:17] yeah. [07:18] reisio, I just wondered if mplayer had some advantage over ffmpeg as a command line conversion tool. [07:18] hello there, when I log into my ubuntu box with ssh I get that motd: http://www.pastie.org/789433 --> how is that achieved or how can I make on my debian boxes that it also shows me how many packages can be updated and how many updates are security updates? [07:18] tweaksource: mencoder has, very occasionally [07:19] I prefer ffmpeg myself [07:19] it's all the same code base, though [07:19] I'm sure you know :) === j0ny123 is now known as jony123 [07:20] Hi folks, how important is it to have the latest ubuntu? [07:20] ffmpeg has always worked for me and I'm used to it. mencoder has like a billion lines of docs [07:20] I am on a very low bandwidth connection and only have a 9.04 disc [07:20] hyper_ch: try /etc/motd iirc that is the right one, but I can't remember for SSH [07:20] I'm still using 8.04 [07:20] o rly, hahha [07:21] 8.04 is the current LTS [07:21] alftwo: the question is, how does it end up there? [07:21] oh i c [07:21] i.e. "stable" [07:21] so for a new system, i will be fine with an older ubuntu for quite some time? === tes123_ is now known as Trie [07:22] hyper_ch: ah, didn't notice the rest of that, sorry ;p [07:22] i may have an 8.04 disc around too XD [07:22] is there a simple paintbrush option in Ubuntu not referring to GIMP [07:22] Ruge: yeah, just newer versions usually provide more up-to-date programs [07:22] c_nick: xpaint? [07:22] alftwo: :) [07:22] awesome [07:22] Ruge, 9.04 is not "old" [07:22] ok thanks === tes123 is now known as Trie [07:22] upgrade is always an option [07:22] You should be, I find that Karmic is just flashier. You get some neat other programs but the basics are all covered in 8.04 [07:22] ahh yes [07:22] Ruge: and 8.04 is supported on the desktop until april 2011 [07:22] well, i have a ... low level machine [07:22] while i have large amounts of ram, i have no GFX [07:23] so i would prefer no extra flashiness [07:23] Ruge: the next lts is 10.04 and there should be a direct upgrade path from 8.04 to 10.04 === Al3x4nder is now known as t0rrieri [07:23] Ruge, FLUXBOX [07:23] I also don't have gfx [07:23] but I usually reinstall the whole system from alternate installer :) [07:23] Sorry, I can't help myself [07:23] My specs: Intel P4 3.0Ghz, 2GB DDR1 RAM, onboard Intel GFX [07:23] Ruge, You'll be fine [07:23] schweeet [07:23] you call that low level machine? [07:23] but there is no problem with using higher graphic option [07:23] I'm sayin' [07:24] hyper_ch: well, its the lack of GFX thats giving me a worry ;) [07:24] yes it is [07:24] you can turn off all the flash in Karmic but then there isn't really a point in updating.

[07:39] Diverdude, Increase screen resolution? [07:39] checking it out, cheers [07:40] tweaksource, hehehe no :) That would be a pretty stupid solution [07:40] i increased it to 2048x something [07:40] Diverdude, What DE are you using? [07:41] or WM [07:41] Diverdude: you could symlink all your large icon directories to small icon directories :p [07:41] Diverdude, gnome if thats what you mean? [07:41] reisio, symlink?

[08:52] alteregoa: I'm asking nicely, if you don't have ubuntu support issues, then either move to another channel, or be helpful instead of offtopic chatter and unhelpful comments [08:52] i wish 2010 was the year of linux on the desktop [08:52] tarzeau_: 10.04 might have more gdm features enabled [08:52] hey folks, question: i want to define multiple hosts in ~/.ssh/config, each with his own port. but only the first "Port" is used, 22 for the others, which doesn't work. what am i not seeing here? [08:52] ardchoille: i don't want features. i only want to install a theme [08:52] I have an external HD, if I reformat as ext4, will there be any issues auto-mounting the device? [08:52] my comment was just a comment [08:53] tarzeau_: That's a feature [08:53] ardchoille: it feels like windows [08:53] the faster i could get this to work, the faster i can migrate 200 desktops to ubuntu, and it's like 1000 active users [08:53] 1000 users on 200 desktop o.O [08:53] oh well, it's not like they cry for ubuntu, nor gnome [08:54] tarzeau_: gdm at this time doesn't have many theming features [08:54] kwork: yes, we have like 3000 accounts at the www.phys.ethz.ch, and 200 managed linux workstations [08:54] kwork: and like 50 macs, and 80 windows [08:54] gadget3000:no I didn't I just smtp.gmail.com [08:54] tarzeau_, how is it to manage linux workstations ?

[09:12] by the way, are noob questions allowed in here? or are they frowned upon? =) [09:12] hi [09:12] I may have a few silly ones from time to time, but if I should refrain from asking, by all means I will [09:12] Andyman555: noob questions are fine i guess, just no meta questions please === Madkiss_ is now known as Madkiss [09:12] tarzeau_, but isn't there also a command to check the interity of the installed packages against the ones on the server? === Guest94506 is now known as bruno [09:13] Andyman555: As long as they're questions about ubuntu support problems, they're fine here [09:13] thanks djones [09:13] diddy: yea, i'd google for dpkg package integrity md5 [09:13] diddy: but why? if you think you got a broken disk, just use dmesg/badblocks [09:13] how do i get yahoo for it === bruno is now known as Guest37326 [09:13] diddy: or broken memory: memtester [09:13] diddly: that would take considerably longer than running a rootkit scanner [09:13] ty guy bye [09:13] james_: Yahoo messenger? [09:13] yes [09:14] i'm having trouble using ubuntu-vm-builder [09:14] james_: You can add yahoo messenger accounts to either pidgin or empathy which are chat clients [09:14] specifically passing a --part option makes the command blow up [09:14] k [09:15] i've created a file with two lines that define the root and swap sizes [09:15] what abot this teamspeak [09:15] is this a common problem? [09:15] game server [09:15] james: teamspeak client is not supported in Linux [09:15] james_: If you're using Ubunt 9.10, empathy is the default chat client and Pidgin is in the software repositories, I don't know about teamspeak [09:15] you would want to get a new app for a client called "mangler" [09:16] xfce one [09:16] and new [09:16] How to load alsa? I've unloaded alsa modules via (sudo /sbin/alsa force-unload) and now want sound back without restarting whole the system [09:16] at this [09:16] MegaHerz: modprobe what you unloaded? [09:17] If you're a gamer, Linux is not for you. Most games do not work on Linux, not even in Wine. === bruno is now known as Guest72863 [09:17] tarzeau_: I've just executed that script. I don't know what modules it unloaded. Is there a way to... just start alsa? [09:17] I went here (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro5-5/Karmic#Sound) and followed the steps exactly as shown, but my sound is still now working. Do you know what is wrong? [09:18] tarzeau_: or how to make system to reindentify needed modules? === Guest72863 is now known as The [09:18] hi [09:18] python3: Installed Modules can't be imported, e.g. "ImportError: No module named html5lib". Why? [09:18] tarzeau_: and load them too [09:18] Does anyone know of some goof FPS games for Ubuntu? When I say good, I mean NOT based on Doom, Quake or Cube. I'd also prefer if it was a game that I didnt play in Win95. [09:18] good* [09:18] !games | eremite [09:18] eremite: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [09:18] MegaHerz: no idea, sorry [09:18] i wonder if crysis runs properly in wine === The is now known as Guest39070 [09:19] alsa is pain, all the way [09:19] eremite: i like sauerbraten very much [09:19] MegaHerz: no it's nice === Guest39070 is now known as pippo [09:19] can we register nick over this server [09:19] MegaHerz: you just shouldn't force unload modules, really [09:19] DJones, I am asking opinions, not for a list of generic games (all of which are junk) [09:19] Why sound on windows just works? While on Ubuntu I have to restart alsa 10s times a day? [09:19] tarzeau_: yes, looks like [09:19] I went here (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro5-5/Karmic#Sound) and followed the steps exactly as shown, but my sound is still now working. Do you know what is wrong? [09:20] MegaHerz: i never have to restart alsa (besides it's not a service one can restart) it's kernel modules [09:20] tarzeau_: but alsa force-reload didn't help this time [09:20] MegaHerz: and it just works for me [09:20] MegaHerz: what computer/soundcard do you have? which applications do you use? [09:20] tarzeau_, Sauerbraten is crap. Its based on a game engine that's nearly 10 years old. [09:20] MegaHerz: if you use gnome/kde the artsdaemon and the other softwaremixer, that's crap [09:20] eremite: it's a complete rewrite, go have a look at it. it's much improved [09:20] eremite: In that case, you might be better asking that in #ubuntu-offtopic you normally get people chatting about different software and get opinions, rather than just problems using something specific [09:20] MegaHerz, Sound on ubuntu is crap, I agree. I have no sound in games and randomly lose sound when watching vids or listening to MP3s [09:20] eremite: i don't mean the cube,cube1 implementation, i mean sauerbraten === jarek is now known as ojark [09:21] tarzeau_: but not for me. Without 'force-reload' "cheat" I can't get sound more then 2-4 hours. Apps like MOCP can't start, claiming it can't access something. So I have to force-reload alsa, and then MOCP works === pippo is now known as f4d3 [09:21] MegaHerz: you run karmic? [09:22] MegaHerz: try to use OSS instead of ALSA, if that works better, i don't know [09:22] i everyone [09:22] MegaHerz: did you check the mocp bugs/development page, maybe it's known? [09:22] tarzeau_: MOCP application, 9.04, latest (I think) alsa (built using that fancy script found on Ubuntu forums) [09:22] MegaHerz: or try to figure out what software is causing the problems [09:22] MegaHerz: i'm pretty sure it's not alsa === jeremiahrose_ is now known as jeremiah_rose [09:23] tarzeau_, I know. I mean ALL CUBE BASED GAMES ARE UTTER GARBAGE. Have a look at some of the games for Windows (and modern consoles) and then look at that junk. Its a joke. [09:23] After following the instructions here, I nolonger have a sound card. The problem is that I was sent there to get sound in the firstplace, now I dont even have a card showing up. What's wrong? (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro5-5/Karmic#Sound) and followed the steps exactly as shown, but my sound is still now working. Do you know what is wrong? [09:23] eremite: i'm sorry, but i have to disagree [09:23] tarzeau_: yeah, default 9.04's alsa cound't even work on my laptop - Acer 5930G :( So I had to built latest [09:23] eremite: it's not like i don't have consoles or windows, but well, there's a price/developer payment difference, please consider that [09:24] eremite: how do you like world of goo? completely different game [09:24] hey guys I've got a bit of a problem, I've been running fedora on my second hardrive and windows XP on my first one then I reinstalled Ubuntu (#! to be exact) over fedora but it left a grub on my First one and now I can't boot windows, any help? [09:24] eremite: you know, i love to play nethack [09:24] hi i have my email on another machine using getmail. i have been accessing it via ssh and mutt, which mostly works well except i have to check for new mails all the time. is there a way i could use something locally to notify me when new mail arrives? [09:24] tarzeau_, eremite: could you move this discussion elsewhere? it's not ubuntu support stuff...? [09:24] so i have a screen that was attached, then lost my session, now when i do screen -r it says (attached)--how can I attach to it? [09:24] HOla [09:24] Hello spain??

Where else should I ask about Ubuntu unless in the Ubuntu channel?

[09:26] ubuntu 9.04 [09:26] eremite: good is such a vague, opinion based entity. You might try #ubuntu-offtopic too [09:26] eremite: I'd suggest #ubuntu-offtopic thats probably the best bet, its perhaps better for getting opinions, rather than specific support [09:26] johntramp, there is an app in the repositories that puts apps in the tray instead of closing them upon minimization. I used to use it to keep Thunderbird open. Alltray, i think its called [09:26] gadget3000, do you know of any games that are not old? [09:27] eremite: no, i don't think there are many. The only game that I know works well in wine is half life 2 [09:27] haha it's based on gtk1, and "this tab is not yet implemented" [09:28] ii type jockey-kde and it says no propretiary drivers is in used does it mean i got a built-in gfxcard?

Is there a way I an get out of this ?

Ubuntu 10.04 will be such a release [09:56] ardchoille: does that mean installation of pidgin on Karmic will fail?

I am using chroot option to lock or jail the local user to their home directory... but when i use a browser.. as anonymous.. its able to navigate to root directory.. any solution to prevent this..?? [10:33] is there a way i can force all fullscreen programs to actually be windowed? [10:33] geekyogi: don't allow anonymous access [10:33] i need anonymous access [10:35] geekyogi: then set your file system permissions correctly [10:37] ikonia file permissions for /var/ftp ..?? [10:38] is there any special meaning when underscore is used as first character in naming a file? like the dot? [10:39] Gary20: not that I know of [10:39] alright [10:41] geekyogi: for either your chroot or the /root file system, [10:41] geekyogi: depending on if you have the user chrooted correctly (which it doesn't sound like you do) [10:42] am getting this error whenever I try to start wine on karmic kaola.

Wrong chan. D'oh. [10:45] * FunkyWeasel gets his coat. [10:45] I got today an HP Pavilion 3003el with Windows 7 pre-installed (sigh) [10:45] I'm going to install Ubuntu 9.10 but I wondering if the remote control will works [10:45] does anyone have an idea about? [10:45] TIA. [10:46] clamiax: what remote control daemon do you want to use ? [10:46] ikonia: whatever it works [10:46] Is there a way to get Compiz to position windows in the same way that Metacity would? (ie centred in the middle of a screen, rather than touching borders) [10:46] clamiax, that's why I build my own machines [10:46] As far as I can tell, LIRC doesn't supports my device [10:47] clamiax: you don't know if it will work or not until you decide what daemon to use, eg: if you want to use irda go tot he irda website and see if it supports the device/chipset [10:47] ikonia: my device is not listed in any of the existing daemon hardware list [10:47] clamiax: then it's not supported [10:47] ghthor: what do you mean? [10:48] otherwise recompile all my vm kernels [10:48] anyone used "Badram kernel"? is it worth using and is it a major thing to setup? [10:48] @ikonia edited vsftpd.conf file.. der is no option to jail the anonymous user preventing it to view the root folders.. though its not able to access any of these folders.. The root folder's permission seems fine... [10:48] ikonia: mmh... i'll have to try. Many time I get devices working even if they was not listed into the supported hardware list [10:48] clamiax: then why ask ? [10:49] ikonia: because I'd hope to hair some success story about it (and maybe some informations on how to setting it up) [10:49] ikonia: it's obvious. [10:49] clamiax: Putting together your own build rather then buying a "dell" means no pre-installed windows [10:49] clamiax: you didn't give any info on the device, you jus said a hp laptop [10:49] clamiax: if you reference the chipset some people may be more aware [10:49] ghthor: that's doable with your own hardware; though this is my girlfriend's laptop and I would like to install Ubuntu on it [10:50] ciao [10:50] oh its a laptop >_> [10:50] !list [10:50] 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 » [10:50] mmh [10:50] ikonia: you must have some problem with your IRC client. I wrote HP Pavilion 3003el [10:51] that's all you need to get informations about my hardware. [10:51] another thing, the Enhanced Zoom thing in Compiz isn't working anymore, it doesn't zoom, and makes the mouse cursor disapear or move weirdly, how do i fix this? [10:51] TiagoTiago: compiz acts weirdly sometime. You need a bit of lucky when enabling new stuff. Try again. [10:52] Though I'm not sure it's related to compiz rather then the video driver. [10:53] ciao [10:53] e ciao === jack is now known as Guest97380 [10:53] what can i do to try to fix this? [10:53] where is sh located ? /usr/ ? [10:53] TiagoTiago: it depends on your skills. [10:54] To be honest, I can't help you much. Compiz is offlimit for me. [10:54] i can follow instructions and extrapolate from things that make sense [10:54] TiagoTiago: it may be useful tu strace(1) compiz in order to understand what's wrong [10:55] but I'm pretty sure a web surfing can be fast and yet helpful. [10:55] "tu strace(1)" what does that mean? is that a command i should run on a terminal? [10:56] asdh [10:56] TiagoTiago: yes. It is, but if you never used it, then it can appear weird to you [10:56] TiagoTiago: does the mouse will appeare again if you switch to a VT, then back to X11? [10:57] is there a command in linux to list all users logged onto a windows terminal server [10:57] hello, i've a problem... i've a laptop (no floppy, cd broken, no usb boot) with 9.10 installed on it. i need win XP besides or as replacement... any ideas how i could do this? [10:58] the mouse flickers, jitters, and somtimes disapear, right clicking seems to bring it back to normal, and scrollling out, the motion to zoom out back to normal, also seems to fix it [10:58] Bluespuke: wrong channel [10:59] win xp [10:59] and he`s on ubuntu channel [10:59] :)))))))) [10:59] don't byte newbie. They're just newbie ;-) [10:59] And don't byte me for my terrible english :-( [11:00] if he managed to install 9.10 on his laptop lol he must me able to install win xp [11:00] sorry, but the current os is ubuntu and i don't know how to get an alternate partition without using a live cd [11:00] don`t worry about your english lol :D [11:00] clamiax, i tried runnign the command you told me, and the terminal said "bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('" [11:00] external cd-rom [11:00] TiagoTiago: what did you run, exactly? [11:01] i just copy/pasted wha tyou wrote [11:01] hello, good morning to all, I would like to help me install the metasploit umbuntu grateful ... [11:01] Bluespuke: apt-get install gparted [11:01] TiagoTiago: you should read strace(1) before drive you crazy with useless attempts. [11:01] try using #!/bin/bash -x [11:02] what do you mean bu "read strace(1)"" ? [11:02] by* [11:02] Bluespuke: assuming that you have net access. [11:02] TiagoTiago: read the man page for strace (which is at section 1) [11:02] QPrime: yes i do [11:02] Bluespuke: apt-get install gparted [11:02] ok [11:03] TiagoTiago: but again, you should use strace as last resource. Try to surf the web first, it's likely you'll find a solution. [11:05] Hello-Permission to request to paste a link that involves voting for me to join the creative national team of my country. I could use the votes. May I Paste my creative entry for you all to vote? [11:05] its quick to vote. [11:05] Jaime1985: why someone should vote you?

[11:05] i was focusing my websearches on the misaligned fullscreen issue, i hadn't thought about looking up stuff about this glitch, here ont he channel, since i didn't got answer for my first inquiry i started asking for help with less important issues i'm having [11:05] because I believe my entry is comendable [11:05] its very quick. [11:05] and you will enjoy my design [11:06] and this oppertunity comes once in a long time [11:06] Bluespuke: makes sense.. its active at the moment. [11:06] uhm [11:06] you didn't convinced me. Wrong channel, bye. [11:06] QPrime: that i knew before... so if i have just 1 partition and no boot options, i'm f*cked up? [11:08] Bluespuke: perhaps not. [11:08] Bluespuke: but it gets more difficult [11:08] I am trying to install a bunch of stuff, most compiled from source. How can I install them, where do you normally place them, and what do I type in my path to get access to them as they were normally installed with apt-get [11:08] that's why i'm here to get a little help ;-) [11:09] clamiax, hahahaha "you didn't convinced me. Wrong channel, bye." [11:09] Bluespuke: its possible to create a ram drive copy some needed files and swap roots to the new drive. [11:09] another symptom to add ot the list, the background of the spinnning cube is gettign whited out [11:09] Bluespuke: thats more involved than most ppl are willing to help with :( [11:10] Bluespuke: you said usb boot is a no go? [11:10] QPrime: no usb boot and cd drive is broken... [11:10] livexxx is crap [11:10] they are not flexable [11:11] BlueEagle, you have comport ? [11:11] reloaidng the windows manager fixed that last one [11:11] damn, only untill i tried zomming again :/ [11:11] Bluespuke: pxe boot? [11:12] arand: i heared about this, what do i need for it? [11:12] i just have another xp computer around [11:12] arand: good idea... but hes gonna need a server [11:12] somebody can try to break in your network and pxe your systems [11:13] hi [11:13] thet'a why [11:13] TiagoTiago: it seems there's a bug about the XFIXES extension of X which nobodywants to fix [11:13] does anyone know if NetworkManager supports dynamic APN for mobile connections? [11:13] :( [11:13] Bluespuke: does you box even support pxe booting? [11:13] hi is there anyone of you who ever tried "wubi" ? am planning to use linux [11:14] TiagoTiago: but it also seems to be a workaround ;) [11:14] network boot yes, if that's what you mean [11:14] where can i read about it? [11:14] i won't cause its name [11:14] cause of [11:14] Bluespuke: yup thats it.

[11:19] i gotta loose twinview? :/ [11:19] uhm... it's just a try to understand where's the problem [11:19] no idea about fullscreen thing in compiz [11:19] What's the fastest way to get a vnc server running on 9.10? I find it hard to believe there's no package that will just automatically add it to init.d etc. [11:19] hi, how can I find out which services are running on which ports? of the local host?

(I would like to get information about chipset of my wireless card) [11:23] wild_oscar: try with accounting rules of iptables or just install an ad-hoc tool. [11:23] hi i wanna install kubuntu9.10 into a usb memory of 8Gb of capacity but i'm not sure if it's gonna works... [11:23] wild_oscar: Smart (having prepaid card). [11:24] tparcina: smart is the name of a tool? [11:24] wild_oscar: unlucky, ifconfig doesn't supports statistics anymore. [11:24] hm, i think i messed up somthing, sec [11:24] victor__: why it shouldn't works? [11:24] tiagotiago_ :) [11:24] is ubuntu designed for a usbkey or a memory card? [11:24] wild_oscar: No, smart is to have GSM on prepaid :) [11:24] tparcina: haha! oh [11:24] iirc, ubuntu is designed for livecd [11:25] nachow: no, but it will works anyway. [11:25] clamiax: i mean is the capacity enough? is the OS working very slower? [11:25] yes, but something will go wrong [11:25] How to find out whic chipset does my wireless card have (PCIE)? [11:25] nachow: though, there's some version which is designed to be run on portable devices. [11:25] tparcina: yeah, I don't need mobile broadband all the time; just when I go to meetings. rather expensive, but good if they do charge on 5 minute increments [11:25] nachow: whath will go wrong, to you? [11:25] you will know [11:26] victor__: the capacity is enough, about speed: it seems obvious that it will be slower than a SATA disk. [11:26] nachow: i'll wait then. [11:27] clamiax: but is the different too big? [11:27] i hate dd guys [11:27] victor__: I think the only difference is the storage device. All the hardware is exactly the same, isn't? [11:28] hmm, i've another idea: is it possible to reinstall (and reformat the disks) from an existing ubuntu installation? === chaky_ is now known as chaky [11:28] clamiax: yeah === Ovidiu is now known as _Ovidiu [11:28] * _Ovidiu is away: Gone away for now [11:28] Bluespuke: it sounds a bit tricky but I guess it's possible.

[11:29] clamiax: so i could get another partition to copy a live cd and install xp [11:30] nachow: on any partition [11:30] Bluespuke: mmh.. your problem is that you haven't enough space to get the live CD? [11:30] hahaha [11:31] * nachow is tired of these dd guys [11:31] clamiax: i have a lot of space (70gb) but it's only one partition [11:31] nachow: what's wrong with dd? [11:31] Bluespuke: ah, what mountpoint/filesystem? [11:31] it sounds like to upgrade the toolchian on a running system [11:32] nachow: NetBSD people do it once a week [11:32] ;) [11:32] dd guys ruin many systems until they get a glith way to work [11:32] i am trying to compile a program and i want it to install to /home/papul/dir and not any where else [11:32] then they think that they are smarter than other people [11:32] Hi all, anyone know a fair amount about SSL [11:32] Hi.

[11:34] ok thanks for the help all of you :) [11:35] now lemme try compiling it [11:35] papul, no, just make and make install since you have writte permissions to that directory.

[12:43] mazda01: check the box/specs for one that does what you want. Ive seen many are just rebranded from the same company [12:43] Sometimes you can find an identcial optical drive rebranded under a differnt company for better prices if ya find them on sale [12:43] mazda01: just buy one, use recommended media and hope it will work. times are gone whit significant differences in quality etc between burners [12:43] Dr_Willis, i am merely asking if ne1 has had more success with LG over Lite-On or vice-versa etc etc etc [12:44] mazda01: maybe look that firmware-updates don't need windows (samsung-like) [12:44] mazda01: it all would be subjective Ive had optical drives from all those companies.. and had them all die befor.

[12:50] but as the output is so insanely verbose, I have no idea what to do from here [12:51] mazda01: most companies have lists of media you should use with a specific drive. use them [12:51] Dr_Willis, that is the difference right? dvd+r is for data (computers) and dvd-r is for dvd players in the family room? i mean ages ago.

[14:00] is there another xorg.conf file somewhere ? [14:00] kerwin_, try using the livecd to check all is fine, and if so you can use qtparted to make changes to your partition [14:00] gcorvala: there should only be /etc/X11/xorg.conf [14:00] joegardner, not in /etc/X11/ [14:01] ikonia, not on karmic & lucid [14:01] gcorvala: yes onkamric and lucid [14:01] gcorvala: there doesn't have to be a file as xorg is dynamic now, it should only be created for forcing options [14:01] kerwin_, if it can not you can edit the grub.conf(i forget the name ,but in 8.04 it is menu.lst) mannully add the xp option [14:02] ikonia, ok, should I mention every section in this xorg.conf ? [14:02] hey ppl [14:02] gcorvala: only what you need [14:02] or just what I need to configure [14:02] kerwin_, any advance?

[14:04] ouyes: theres no option or guided partitioning.. ONLY "use all 80 gig HDD" or manual partitioning [14:04] kerwin_, try to make the partition youself [14:05] kerwin_, use the manual, if you want keep your xp [14:05] kerwin_, reboot into the xp system and run a disk check making sure that you do a clean shutdown, then have another go with the livecd [14:05] ouyes, for your wireless driver, in the command line, do a lsmod, then search for something that sounds like a wireless driver, and do a modprobe -r to remove it from you running desktop [14:05] hi all, im in the middle of a Ubuntu 9.10 remaster using remastersys and after removal of orca and rebooting the automatic login fails and wont allow logons using the account? i have used recovery to check the account and all is fine, but whats the best way to fix this issue.. thanks [14:06] virkang, i want to remove the driver pernamently [14:06] virkang, not to unload the mode [14:06] i have problems with xbmc 9.11 [14:06] anyone can help me ? [14:07] virkang, your way is a solution, also to make a blacklist is even better, but the driver is still there [14:07] kerwin_, how things are going? [14:08] i still have my 9.04. but grub does not appear after my reinstallation of XP. [14:08] ok, so remove simply the module name in the /lib/modules directory [14:08] kerwin_, if you install XP after Ubuntu the XP is going to remove grub, use recover from a livecd [14:09] ouyes: im xp now ;D [14:09] ouyes, ok, so remove simply the module name in the /lib/modules directory [14:09] indus, thx for the information [14:09] JF1976.. how can i do that? [14:09] kerwin_, how did you install Ubuntu 9.10 wubi of cd [14:09] ouyes, it should be safer to rename it [14:10] i used a USB pen drive [14:10] ouyes, it should be safer to move it somewhere else [14:10] Cynix01: ask you question? [14:10] kerwin_, do you still have the pen drive ? [14:10] yup! [14:10] but only 9.10 [14:10] kerwin_, you can use a command ( i forget) to list all the partitions and mount point, then find out which is the xp located, then go to the menu.lst(the file name in your Lucid is different, try to search under /boot/grub) add the xp option [14:11] kerwin_, and when you boot it what options does it give? or does it boot into a live session [14:11] ouyes: im kinda an idiot regarding commands [14:11] hehehe [14:12] JF: try ubuntu, install ubuntu, etc etc..

[14:14] ouyes, if you remove the driver from the /lib/modules directory, it will be gone ! [14:14] virkang, but some files will be still there [14:14] kerwin_, what you need to do is boot into ubuntu from your pen drive the chroot into the hdd installation followed by a grub-install("hd0") but you will need more info than that! === sean is now known as Guest92362 [14:15] ouyes, what files for example ?

[14:17] kerwin_, thats about as best as i can do.. However if the installation is new, then it may be better for you to install Ubuntu again as that might be easier for you [14:17] yup [14:17] yellow [14:17] kerwin_, but the time you take now will assist you later ;) its called learning [14:17] the prob is the installer of 9.10 cannot detect any OS [14:17] yup hehehe [14:18] ouyes, yes from the comments made the XP installation has removed the grub loader [14:18] My Firefox isn't working well with Java all of the sudden. I tried removing and reinstalling java, then java worked and flash didn't, reinstalled flash, and flash worked, but now no java again. Any ideas? [14:18] ouyes, im not new but im on guru either ;) [14:18] JF1976, kerwin_ , always try to manually partition the hdd, and also install xp first [14:18] i have a ubuntu server box (9.04) and i want to create a virtual machine server from it, so i can install ms windows server 2008 on it, what vm tool should i use, since all has to be done from the command line [14:18] ciao+ [14:18] Hi folks, having a problem with my fresh Ubuntu install [14:19] I have no control over the audio [14:19] morrowyn: virtualbox will install using cli and run headless [14:19] yes XP MUST be first for first timers... XP dont like to share with anything and assumes it should do as it please to your MBR [14:19] The volume control does nothing (its a constant volume) and inserting headphones speakers does nothing [14:19] ouyes, as far as I know (I'm probably not the man who knows more here), but if you remove the file I told you to remove, adn all his dependencies (listes in lsmod), I think this is it [14:19] cool, didn;t know that, thanks [14:19] im in the middle of a Ubuntu 9.10 remaster using remastersys and after removal of orca and rebooting the automatic login fails and wont allow logons using the account? i have used recovery to check the account and all is fine, but whats the best way to fix this issue.. thanks [14:20] Ruge: what is your soundcard? And type terminal aplay -L and aplay -l and pastebin it and send link here [14:20] yup ive installed XP first, only thing is XP got screwed up.. so i have to reisntall it... into one partition [14:21] ouyes, there is no "clean" way to uninstall a driver like in windows (where you have a remove program for drivers you installed yourself) [14:21] kerwin_: do you need xp for games or less demanding stuff? [14:21] so the partition for 9.04 is still there but inacessible [14:21] scinizi: hehehe i just use xp for photoshop [14:21] ouyes, in my opinion, this is something that is missing in Ubuntu, and Linux in general : a driver management framework [14:22] kerwin_: so you just want to get the grub menu again for 9.04/XP? [14:22] why dosn't keyboard layout switching work on ubuntu 9.04? [14:22] kerwin_: why not run it in a vm inside of Ubuntu .. that way you won't have to boot to one.. then boot to the other? [14:22] kerwin_, if that is the case, you installed xp later, the grub will lost, you can just insert the live cd(any installation cd will do) and run a shell, or open the livecd's terminal and simply run [14:22] arand: yes! if its possible [14:22] kerwin_, sudo update-grub [14:22] How con I mount a network share ?...

[14:24] arand, and edit the menu.lst, manually add the xp option after go into the liveCD [14:24] trooperi: yeah im playing aroudn with the settings, found it [14:25] troopperi: basically my IBM has internal speakers... some audio is playing thru it... cant stop it for some reason (but headphones okay now) [14:25] hi all [14:25] ouyes: kerwin_: But you are able too bot XP now but not 9.04? [14:25] arand, i am quite familiar with this thing, i even make a note for that [14:25] ouyes: yep! [14:26] virkang, a driver management framework, this point is good idea for expert level user [14:26] Ruge: do you have googled that IBM model and ubuntu sound [14:26] help! my xfce menu bars at the top and bottom of my desktop have disappeared! how do i get them back????????? [14:26] kerwin_, boot the system using your pen drive and do what ouyes is saying "drop to a shell" but i think that you would be better off having a read of the link i provided https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [14:26] troopperi: i'll do that in a bit (for now this fix will be fine) [14:27] kerwin_: ouyes: So What I wold do: Downgrade the liveCD-version of grub to grub-legacy " sudo aptitude install grub ", then run the grub-legacy shell... [14:27] Ruge: okay :) [14:27] anyway... I think ive got two options. first, reinstate the GRUB so i can choose between XP and my old 9.04. -OR- fresh install of 9.10 (but 9.10 cannot see any os upon installation) [14:27] hola [14:27] ok thanks guys, im still downloading MIRC in another laptop ;D [14:27] protojay: Is xfce4-panel running? [14:27] kerwin_, have a good read im sure you can do it! [14:28] kerwin_: is 9.10 unable to see any partitions in the installer? [14:28] arand: yes,,,unable [14:28] arand, just one cd and one command line then reboot, everything will be done, JF1976 kerwin_ we should stop here leave kerwin_ to try it out [14:28] kerwin_, and if your worried about data loss use the pen drive and an extra HDD to make a backup of your home directory [14:28] soreau, thx, why woud it stop running ? [14:29] kerwin_: are you using any raid setup on this computer? [14:29] protojay: No idea [14:29] good question! [14:29] ouyes: but you intend to instruct installing grub2? Which command? [14:30] kerwin_, while you still in XP use device manager to view your disks [14:30] I have writed a /etc/X11/xorg.conf [14:30] but when I do a "startx", it seems that the config is not loaded [14:30] arand: Raid? [14:30] ok [14:30] it keep the "default" configuration set by xorg === levu is now known as uvel [14:30] hi. is there a way to open a download with gwget from a website that requires that i enter the code displayed on the screen to download? when i download without gwget and enter code, it just pops up a download dialogue and the url is the same on the browser. [14:30] anyone knows how i bugfix the crash on xbmc ubuntu 9.10 (karmic) [14:31] ?? [14:31] so, i have ubuntu installed on a flash drive. I have been using it for diagnostics and such so i have added programs to it, removed programs from it, yada yada. It gives me the option to install at the boot screen, but i just tried and it didn't and i dont have the option anywhere. Is there an installer package somewhere so i can get it going on my laptop? [14:31] is there a way to directly interact with the "dynamic" xorg configuration ? [14:31] kerwin_: two harddisks set up in combination (striping/mirroring or so)? [14:31] is it possible to cap the speed of copying files? [14:31] JF: what will I find? [14:31] okay: there's gotta be a different site offering the same file without all the hoops to jump through. [14:31] arand, kerwin_ oh god help me , one is sudo update-grub,one is sudo gedit /boot/grub/grub.cfg [14:32] arand, kerwin_ got it? [14:32] MaT-dg1: i dont think so? [14:32] arand: my set up is 80HDD... 40 in drive C: 40 in drive d: , the rest in 9.04 [14:32] kerwin_, its been along time since i went near windows, so you will need to have a look about but within the device manager there is going to be a disk viewer [14:32] ouyes: Yea, but that would install grub2, which I intended to avoid.. [14:32] kerwin_: right click "my computer" on the desktop, go to ' manage', click disk manager [14:33] thats it [14:33] ouyes: also, editing grub.cfg is not recommended... [14:33] arand, ah , i see grub2, [14:33] xrandr return me always the resolution used by my display ( bad resolution ) but no way to change it :( [14:33] How con I mount a network share ?... I tryed a tut on here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba. But i get this error http://pastebin.com/m3a25f8d [14:34] doesnt look like it..its a bunch of drivers for this laptop i just formatted. this site has all drivers in one file, others have 40 seperate links for each driver [14:34] ouyes: 9.04>> grub-legacy, Hence I intended to just reinstate that to mbr.. [14:34] arand, but that is my practical method [14:34] okay: sounds like they are windows drivers right? have you booted the live cd? if so does the system work? [14:35] whats the best way to run an old windows game on ubuntu? VMWare? [14:35] I just wanna play c&c generals lol [14:35] bonno: vmware and vbox etc assume you have a licensed copy of windows to install [14:35] MaT-dg1, What are you trying to do? As in why do you need to cap the file copy speed? [14:35] kerwin_: if you only have one HDisk, then I guess you don't have raid.. I've seen a bug where removing the "dmraid" package will make the installer able to se the partitons again.. [14:35] yeah I do [14:35] how can i reachn irc admin here? i am trying to join #debian... [14:35] JF: C: NTFS, then unknown partition then unknown partition then D: NTFS [14:35] bonno: then virtuabox [14:36] arand: only one HDisk [14:36] scunizi: the sytem works, i reinstalled xp on it but i need drivers to use various hardware or improve performance [14:36] bonno, Cadega (or wine with a little tweaking) would be your best bet. [14:36] never heard of vbox. VMWare is refferenced quite extensivly [14:36] oh ok, heard of wine too... not Cadega tho [14:36] arand, maybe your way is some kind better, but my way is also ok and most importantly i have tried already and it worked perfectly, so we should stop here and leave kerwin_ to try , you see this is a piece of cake and he is not in a hurry and really a newbie [14:36] I shall research these things :D [14:37] How to add an user to the group admin? [14:37] command line [14:37] have a shit wifi connect that keeps disconnecting so i wanna use gwget so i can resume but it only uses urls [14:37] okay... thanks hold on [14:37] bonno, Cadega isn't free, but it's pretty much a tweaked version of wine, that auto-configs and everything [14:37] bonno, cedega* [14:37] oh ok [14:37] then it sound like you may have been using raid possibly and your going to need to know the answer to most questions asked from now on.. did you have a recent backup ? [14:37] ! pm | troopperi [14:37] troopperi: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [14:37] cba123: my laptop has a slow 4200/min HDD. Whenever I copy files from one place to another the whole system slows down. Compiz stutters, apps not responding and slow,... [14:37] thanks cba123, I might look into this vbox thing [14:37] JF: yup! [14:38] okay: and you're using ubuntu to download the drivers? that's ironic :) .. why use gwget? do you not have a gui? [14:38] How con I mount a network share ?... I tryed a tut on here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba. But i get this error http://pastebin.com/m3a25f8d [14:38] bonno, vbox is really unlikely to play C&C Generals at any speed you'd want [14:38] bonno, Unless they have come really far with the virtual-3d card === Mowee`Bnc is now known as Mowee [14:39] oh ok... so you think maybe wine or vmware are the best free options I should explore? [14:39] or am I trying to do something that is not possible [14:39] bonno, No VMWare either [14:39] cba123: bonno you'd be supprised.. lots of improvements lately.. does c&c need the 3d card option for that game? I'm doubtful [14:39] Anybody know any player that can play Intel Indeo 5 file on Ubuntu 9.10 64bit? [14:39] Is there still no solution for this? [14:40] virkang, hei, you are still here? [14:40] so... maybe wine is the best? [14:40] scunizi: i need resume function [14:40] ouyes: yea, most likely the matter of method won't matter, but the problem from there is that he'll be unable to update grub from the 9.04 install since he has the grub-legacy packages installed there still... Might be albe to install "grub-pc" (i.e. grub2) in 9.04 to take care of that, but then it's equally compicated in my opin...? [14:40] just trying to save myself some time :P [14:40] keep disconnecting [14:41] scunizi, It does need a 3D card, generals started 3D http://tinyurl.com/yewdwfj, if it was red alert 2 no 3d needed. [14:41] okay: wow.. that's a tough one.. maybe someone else can download and make a torrent for it for you to download. [14:42] arand, just leave it a while [14:42] bonno, You should try installing playonlinux too. Wine can be a little tricky to configure to play games, I'd seriously suggest cedega. [14:43] cba123: ah.. guess it really depends on the 3d progress vbox has made.. only one way to find out :) [14:43] thankyou people, you've given me a lot to go on [14:43] virkang, hei can you give more detail on how to remove the driver ? there directory you give /lib/mo.. is not the final path [14:44] hello [14:44] how can i change encoding options in unzip? [14:45] i want to change it to cp949 [14:45] nobody can help me to reset my xorg resolution ? [14:45] ouyes, what is the name of you module ? === Jacolyte is now known as Guest60494 [14:46] How Can I install latex in ubuntu ? [14:46] it is not in rep [14:46] virkang, i am not quite sure ,but i get the name mac80211 209163 20 ath9k,ath9k_common,ath5k,at76c50x_usb,mac80211_ [14:46] ouyes: Removing the module from the system isnt going to do anything more than unloading/blacklisting it. Why do you have to remove it from the system so badly? [14:46] Anyone here use the Razer Naga at all? Mine doesn't seem to agree with Ubuntu. [14:47] i can't watch video in youtube [14:47] anyone? [14:47] pat|nG: installed flash ? [14:47] !flash > pat|nG [14:47] pat|nG, please see my private message [14:47] ! flash | pat|nG [14:47] pat|nG: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [14:48] virkang, i want to use another driver, when i installed, i found that the system was using the old one [14:48] Devil: install lyx [14:48] soreau, i want to use another driver, when i installed, i found that the system was using the old one [14:48] hey guys.. im chattin in another laptop [14:48] C-[ qualche italiano_ [14:48] !it > Reboot90 [14:48] Reboot90, please see my private message [14:48] ouyes: Why do you want to use this other driver? Is there something wrong with the one provided with ubuntu? [14:48] scunizi : TNX [14:49] soreau, no it is just ok, but i have some testing so i want to use another one [14:49] ouyes: my other laptop is on the installation of 9.10... step 4 of 6 says This computer has no operating systems on it [14:49] kerwin_: ok, are you booted into the liveCD? [14:50] arand: im inside the 9.10 live session [14:50] kerwin_, how can? are you sure you installed xp first? [14:50] maybe i should reinstall XP again... using all the HDD [14:50] kerwin_: you could try doing "sudo aptitude remove dmraid" in a terminal, then recheck if the installer detects correctly [14:51] i got music === Amigo_ is now known as Guest6035 [14:51] Devil [14:51] Devil, you still there? [14:51] scunizi: thanks anyway [14:52] kerwin_, what do you plan to do ? [14:52] ouyes: well i love very much to install 9.10... [14:52] kerwin_, perhaps, you should backup all your data first [14:52] Devil, best way to install latex is to download the latest TeXLive DVD image, and follow the instructions on WikiBooks. That way you get an up-to-date version. the one in the repos is a little behind. [14:52] ouyes: yup all backed up [14:53] arand: still cant detect OS === r40 is now known as twinsenx [14:53] kerwin_, oh, then you can install it by manually partition [14:53] ouyes: Well you really do not want to remove driver modules from the system. Instead, simply unload a module with rmmod or add it to the module blacklist in /etc to have it never load automatically [14:53] When you save an ftp bookmark and choose to keep the login information, where is that login information kept? [14:54] ouyes: yes... but it will use the whole 80gig HDD [14:54] Morning all [14:54] soreau, but in fact i do not know which is the wireless module [14:54] ouyes: What is the output of lspci|grep -i ethernet ? [14:54] kerwin_: if you check the partiton editor from the system>>admin menu does that show the partitons? [14:55] kerwin_, no i said chose to manually partition [14:55] soreau, the wireless card === wh1901 is now known as Guest12338 [14:56] arand: NO, unallocated [14:56] ouyes: The whole point is to show the output [14:56] ouyes: yes, but it only shows one SDA [14:56] soreau, ok mate lspci|grep -i ethernet [14:56] soreau, 00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82567LM Gigabit Network Connection (rev 03) [14:57] kerwin_: ok, then there's something else at work here, apart from the issue I know of... [14:58] arand: you're referring to what i see in Gparted right? [14:58] ouyes: That looks like your ethernet (wired) device. Is that the only output? [14:58] kerwin_, since you have all the data backup, you can delete all the partitions and create new for ubuntu / swap and home basically [14:58] kerwin_: yes, it is empty as well right? [14:58] ouyes: but i need XP for photoshop [14:59] ouyes, try modinfo at76c50x_usb [14:59] it will show you the path of that module [14:59] soreau, yes mate [14:59] kerwin_, which step are you in now ? [14:59] kerwin_: ouyes back to that.. do a full install of ubuntu and install xp in vbox.. it'll run photoshop there just fine AND you can do it in "seemless" mode so it looks native [14:59] ouyes, I think this is this one, is your wireless card plugged by usb ? [14:59] ouyes: Alright, pastebin the complete output of lspci to pastebin.com [15:00] virkang, nope [15:00] scunizi: but im just using a laptop, i cant use up much memory and resources [15:00] soreau, ok [15:00] kerwin_: how much memory do you have in that [15:01] 2 gig [15:01] kerwin_: that's a bunch.. shouldn't be a problem [15:01] scunizi: im also needing it for flash too and premiere [15:01] kerwin_: ok, if the installer or partition editor didn't work after removing the dmraid package the I don't know how to get the 9.10 install working. We could go through getting 9.04 up and booting though, alongside XP.. [15:01] kerwin_: nevermind.. [15:02] arand: yep thats plan no 2 [15:02] ouyes, what is your wireless card ? [15:02] virkang, soreau thanks anyway http://pastebin.com/d20bced41 [15:03] hola [15:03] anda ya [15:03] soreau, maybe you can give kerwin_ more details or a link about how to install vbox and xp in vbox and run ps, also i am interested [15:04] virkang, intel 5100 agn [15:04] I have a problem with Wine and .NET 3.0 (and above). - I have winetricks, I install it with "sh winetricks dotnet30", it extracts and then I get the error "Extraction Failed - Unable to find a volume for extraction. Please verify that you have proper permissions.". This shouldn't happen when using winetricks, according to like every forum. [15:04] virkang, you see the pastebin === purplegecko is now known as purplegecko_ [15:05] ouyes, could you do the same with the lsmod output ? [15:05] 03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 5100 AGN [Shiloh] Network Connection [15:05] Glaucous: You might find the #winehq channel more helpful in this matter [15:05] ouyes, yes, that is your wireless card [15:05] Thank you genii. :) [15:06] kerwin_: ok, first, "sudo aptitude install grub" This will remove grub-pc (which is grub2) and install the older grub version (which is what 9.04 uses) just in the liveCD environment. [15:06] virkang, it is there [15:06] ouyes: So you have an Intel 5100 AGN and the module is likely iwlagn [15:06] ouyes: Does lsmod|grep iwlagn show this module? [15:07] arand: take note im in live session of 9.10 [15:07] virkang, it is a lot of lines and i chose one day so it wont waste much space for a long time === purplegecko_ is now known as purplegecko [15:07] kerwin_: Yes, that is why we need to "downgrade" to the older grub to match it with the version of 9.04 before starting to recover. [15:07] protojay: did you get panels work= [15:08] Is there a way to add a login/password to the gnome-keyring from the CLI? === wh1901 is now known as Guest34056 [15:08] soreau, go to see http://pastebin.com/d35b87145 again [15:08] arandokay hold on === purplegecko is now known as purpleGecko [15:08] soreau, i add the lsmod output [15:09] ouyes, type modinfo iwlagn [15:09] ouyes: So iwlagn is loaded, which is the right module. Which other driver are you wanting to try? [15:09] virkang, it is a lot of mass [15:10] HOW do i skip formatting during install? [15:10] yes, but the beginning of the output tells you the path to the module [15:10] its a virtual hdd that doesn't need to be formatted [15:10] where can I get medibuntu public key, the one on the script to install it doesn't seem to work [15:10] ouyes, yes, but the beginning of the output tells you the path to the module [15:10] kerwin_, are you still there and any advance? [15:11] hi guys..>I'm trying to run spotify under wine. I can search for tracks, etc...but when I double-click on the track nothing happens...any ideas? [15:11] ouyes, if you still want to remove it, move the file to your home, but lik I said, you can blacklist that module [15:11] arand: done [15:11] arand: what to do next? [15:11] Glaucous, if you're still around -- it get the exact same error with winetricks & dotnet3 [15:12] kerwin_: ok, then run "sudo grub" which will get you to the grub console === Bwaah|SrsSleep is now known as Bwaah [15:12] Glaucous, s/it/i [15:12] arand: ok [15:12] kerwin_: here first use "find /boot/grub/stage1" In you case it should give somthing like "(hd0,1)" I think. [15:12] lol I ran C&C generals with wine and it changed my resolution etc. I alt+tab out of it and now I cant find c&c generals... any ideas? lol [15:12] virkang, soreau i am worn out at this matter forget it , [15:13] btw anyone can tell me if hp mini has bluetooth? [15:13] hola [15:13] ouyes, by moving it to your home directory, you can still restore it [15:13] HDO,5 [15:13] que hablas [15:13] kerwin_: then use whatever you got there in the command "root (hd0,5)" [15:13] ci [15:13] ouyes: The bottom line is, if its already working, dont mess with it. You will only make it worse and probably not able to work at all [15:14] I'd like to defrag some file on my partition, is it possible to defrag files using a ramfs as the secondary partition since I dont have any other ext3 partition? [15:14] virkang, soreau thanks for your try [15:14] Enigmator: What do you mean by defrag a file? [15:14] arand: i typed "root (hd0,5)" [15:14] virkang: Telling people to move modules is bad advice. There is never a reason to do that as blacklisting it is plenty enough [15:14] kerwin_: Good and then "setup (hd0)" [15:14] soreau, but something really worth a try though facing a risk of damage [15:14] how do I prevent the ~file to be created? or how do I delete them all with one command from /home? [15:15] ouyes: IMHO, it is not worth a try [15:15] soreau, i know that, I told him, but he absolutely wanted to remove it [15:15] I mean just doing some defragmentation === Mowee is now known as Mowee`Bnc [15:15] virkang: He doesnt understand why he shouldnt do that [15:15] mt_: the command to delete them would be 'rm ~*' [15:15] kerwin_: this will recover the mbr for grub, making it point to the grub you have installed on the ubuntu partition (hd0.5) in grub-terminology [15:15] Enigmator: You defragment filesystems, not files. [15:15] Enigmator, defrag is more a windows thing - it's not really an issue with EXT file systems [15:15] soreau, ok, next time I won't [15:15] tonyyarusso, this will only remove the ~* in the current dir [15:16] mt_: correct [15:16] I want to remove all everywhere in /home [15:16] mt_: then you would use 'find' with -exec [15:16] it says "install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd0) (hdo)1+17 p (hd0,5)/boot/grub/stage2/boot/grub/menu.lst"...failed Error 12L invalid device requested [15:16] tonyyarusso, give me the full command please, I don't know -exec [15:16] soreau, IMHO, you seem to know what i am trying, but as a matter of fact, i want it that way. so leave my idea alone, do not persuade people to do something you think is right and wise [15:16] is it ok? [15:16] well Im at 4.3 fragmentation and I can see some slow down [15:17] mt_: I'd have to check the man page for the exact syntax also. [15:17] tonyyarusso, man exec or man find? [15:17] mt_: man find [15:17] ouyes: Actually, that is what this channel is all about. We would rather not help people break their systems even if they think they can make it better somehow :) [15:17] tonyyarusso, thanks [15:17] kerwin_: Hmm, I'm not sure there, is that all it says? [15:18] yup [15:18] i better restart [15:18] !test [15:18] hrm? [15:18] kerwin_: no, hang on [15:18] hi guys..>I'm trying to run spotify under wine. I can search for tracks, etc...but when I double-click on the track nothing happens...any ideas? [15:19] is there a way to tell what type of drive is in a machine from the command prompt? (SCSI, IDE, SATA, etc) === tork is now known as Mork [15:19] kerwin_: I'll have a look just to make sure here... [15:19] soreau, but how do you know it , no damage, no rebuildings. i think this channel is to try to help people with ubuntu issues in their way they like it, we are free to do anything we like === Mork is now known as |Mork [15:20] My QT4 fonts are messed up Serif and Sans Serif both look really blocky. This is limited to QT4 (QT3 is fine).... I assume there's some corruption in a font-cache somewhere... How do I clear it? [15:20] ouyes: we're also free not to give advice we don't really like giving. [15:20] rrittenhouse: sudo lshw -C storage [15:20] soreau, even at the risk of great damage [15:20] ouyes: You are free to take a hammer to you computer too, though I strongly suggest you do not [15:20] what does the -C flag do [15:20] ??? [15:21] siemanko [15:21] 9.10 is sure eyecandy [15:21] colin_: in respect to what ? [15:21] tonyyaru I can assure you that it is possible to defragment files individually, test it using the command filefrag to see the fragment of any file then move it to another linux partition then back and see with filefrag [15:21] colin_: On the lshw command it selects a Class of devices to list [15:21] mówi ktoś tu po polsku [15:21] oh nice [15:21] so what's the problem with karmic/flash/pulseaudio?

[15:21] ouyes: We try to help people better understand how to use their system with ubuntu correctly rather than help them break it because that is just bad advice [15:21] genii_: thanks [15:21] can someone help me, when i boot my computer instead of getting a splash screen I get "input not supported" how can i get my splash screen back? [15:21] soreau, LjL ,ok can we just stop here, otherwise it will arise a ... [15:22] FeiRuoWa: what did you do to break it [15:22] kerwin_: hrm, it might be the whole partitiions-not found playing in here again... making it unable to find it... [15:22] how do I install the aurora theme engine in Karmic?? I geet getting errors in my terminal and on my appearance preferences. Where do I get it? Its not in the repos, but many other engines are. [15:22] ro [15:22] but I only have other ntfs partition that why I'm asking if anyone know if we could do it with a temporary ramfs [15:22] arand: i better reinstall my XP first... u think? [15:23] where can I get help regarding PIDGIN constantly crashing after trying to send/recieve message? GFIRE protocol plugin [15:23] arand: i mean start from scartch? [15:23] ikonia, what did i do to break which? [15:23] I didn't break it, I installed Ubuntu and the first time i booted it it did such problem [15:23] eremite: did you download an aurora.deb and install it? if so, what was the version number of it? [15:23] soreau, someone wants that way even at the risk of breaking down, i make my point for three times, that is also a kind of correctly use---the way the owner wanted [15:23] FeiRuoWa: sorry - that was for FabioTheApe [15:23] FeiRuoWa: then why did you say get your splash screen back, suggesting you had it [15:24] hello all [15:24] ikonia, i have to guess that the splash screen is set to the wron resolution [15:24] well it worked on the live disc [15:24] sorry [15:24] FabioTheApe: a reasonable guess, try the "vga=ask" option to set different resolutions [15:24] ohhhh, ok. i killed a partition two days ago, and was wondering how you knew :P [15:24] onetinsoldier, I have not downloaded the aurora engine yet. That's exactly why I asked where I can download the engine from. I installed a theme from gnome-look.org and it didnt have the engine with it. [15:24] FeiRuoWa: I am everywhere ;) [15:25] ;p [15:25] ikonia, I need more detail then that, I am not very good with the config files [15:25] kerwin_: sorry, disconnect. But no, I don't think reinstalling Xp would help at this stage.. [15:25] FabioTheApe: you need to inerupt the grub boot process with "e" then add "vga=ask" as a boot option === arand_ is now known as arand [15:25] eremite: ok, use a search engine to search for the following file(if you're running 64-bit) --> aurora_1.5-1_amd64.deb [15:26] onetinsoldier, dont tell people to use a search engine here. Also, I am not running a 64bit machine. [15:26] ikonia, there is no easier way like checking the config file to see if it has the proper resolution? [15:26] !google [15:26] While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [15:26] eremite: what's wrong with asking people to use a search engine? [15:26] FabioTheApe: how can you change the config if you can't boot ? [15:26] !google ubottu [15:26] ikonia, I can boot [15:27] !google [15:27] arand: yup but thats okay, it wouldnt take 2 hours [15:27] FabioTheApe: add vga=ask to the grub config then [15:27] it just goes from grub, to input not supported, then login screen [15:27] soreau, by the way , what i am trying is nice and good for me and also doing absolutely no damage to others, so what is the matter so importantly to figure out a way that instruct me in the correct way to use ubuntu . [15:27] hi all, I'm trying to customise the ubuntu live cd to incorperate the loop-aes module, which means I need to recompile the kernel and put it in, I am trying to follow the customise guide on help but I am getting stuck and confused. Anyone able to lend a bit of a hand? [15:27] ikonia, so how do i do that? [15:28] FabioTheApe: edit the grub config file and add "vga=ask" to the end of the boot line [15:28] ouyes: What is troubling to me is why you want to use a different driver then what is the correct one for your card. AFAIK, the only native linux driver you can use is iwlagn which is already in use. [15:29] eremite: try this one, it might be 32-bit --> http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Aurora+Gtk+Engine?content=56438 [15:29] soreau, ubuntu is free not just the fee but the way people try to use it and try to do something to it all on his own [15:29] kerwin_: Are you able to get hold of any 9.04 version boot disk ubuntu? Using that hopefully the grub restore would work better.. [15:29] ouyes: soreau maybe take the end of this conversation to pm ? [15:29] oj [15:29] btw anyone can tell me if hp mini has bluetooth? [15:29] viajante: look on the hp website [15:29] where can I get medibuntu public key, the one on the script to install it doesn't seem to work [15:29] Wipster, someone will have the answer soon lol [15:30] ikoni i did, and cant tell [15:30] viajante: contact the people who support mediabuntu on their website [15:30] viajante: then contact hp [15:30] i did on #medibuntu [15:30] soreau, sorry mate , i am not on purpose , il go with mine. get some rest [15:30] viajante: ok so wait for them to respond [15:30] MauritianGuy, I am just compiling the kernel for the second time.... hope they get back to me before I mess this one up too ahhhh :) [15:30] arand: im downloading it... [15:31] ikonia, they did, but response was unclarified [15:31] viajante: then clarify with them - they support it [15:31] is it normal for npviewer.bin (adobe flash) to remain loaded (and waking my cpu 26% of the time) even when im not viewing a flash webpage? [15:31] i would have help if i knew how Wipster [15:31] gotsanity: unfortunatly yeah [15:31] what does iirc stands for? [15:31] genii, thx for the cmd earlier. Worked perfectly :) [15:31] viajante, Internet relay chat [15:32] viajante: no idea [15:32] viajante: if i recall correct [15:32] acicula, is there anyway to reduce the amount of polling it does? its doing a number on my battery [15:32] so, unswear was strange, on ·medibuntu [15:32] soreau, i remember you , you helped me a lot and also others [15:32] anybody else having problems of firefox not responding at times? [15:32] gotsanity: you can just kill the process, the browser will reload it when you need too [15:32] they said: apt-get install medibuntu-keyring iirc [15:32] viajante: contact THEM [15:32] gotsanity: at least thats what i do [15:32] viajante: they are the ones who support it [15:33] ikonia, they seem to be sleeping [15:33] viajante: wait for them to respond [15:33] ok [15:33] onetinsoldier, I found it elsewhere, but thanks for your time anyway. I also get another error in my terminal when opening some apps. I just opened "comix" and this is what I get" ** (comix:32656): CRITICAL **: atk_object_set_name: assertion `name != NULL' failed [15:33] acicula, will it cause a problem if im currently viewing a flash page? (im assuming it would) [15:33] ikonia, are u a girl? [15:33] Does anyone know what this means?:: ** (comix:32656): CRITICAL **: atk_object_set_name: assertion `name != NULL' failed [15:33] viajante: does that matter ? [15:33] eremite: in respect to what ? [15:33] u sound like one, and, no it doesnt [15:33] gotsanity: it will kill flash yeah [15:33] :D [15:33] Opening apps in my terminal. [15:34] I get an error that says:: CRITICAL **: atk_object_set_name: assertion `name != NULL' failed [15:34] eremite: that's unusual [15:34] I know. [15:34] eremite: normally a font related issue [15:34] Will there be a firefox-3.6 package for Jaunty? [15:34] flv or swf acicula [15:34] queso: not as of yet [15:34] eremite: do the apps run ok? for instance, i get some warning messages/errors when i start up gvim in a terminal, but gvim works fine. i ignore the errors, because, they're just warnings, not critical errors [15:34] no [15:34] grub is making me want to kill myself [15:34] whats the best choice of dev apps for an inventory sytem based on clowd computing [15:34] arand: if i get finish the 9.04 installer, what would be my next step? [15:35] onetinsoldier, if I didnt use a terminal I wouldnt know the errors existed. [15:35] viajante: dev apps aren't for could computeing [15:35] ikonia: Sorry, I meant to ask: Is it planned? [15:35] queso: not as of yet [15:35] ikonia: okay, thx [15:35] eremite: roger [15:35] why not, cant we dev an app for it? [15:36] kerwin_: boot the liveCD and do the steps we just did with the grub prompt, this time you won't have to do the initial "aptitude install grub" though, since the version is already the correct one... [15:36] viajante: you can develop an application for it, but that has no relevence on cloud computing as that's handled by the OS [15:36] okay [15:36] ayall please a quickie, i got the common dirs of a distro /dev, /usr, /etc, and so on. How can i mount them like a real system ? like proc, tempfs, and stuff? === home is now known as Jac [15:36] kerwin_: you might have bettter luck should you choose to upgrade the 9.04 to 9.10 without doing a fresh install using a CD.. [15:36] ikonia, if the os is installed on a clowd server, it may [15:37] viajante: no it doesn't [15:37] viajante: you'd develop the app the same as you would if it was not on cloud coputing [15:37] presumida_: using mount? what are you trying to achieve? [15:37] when my desktop idles for a while or the screensaver pops up, and i move anything to get ou tof it, firefox completely locks up..anyone see that before? === Jac is now known as JHPryke [15:37] ikonia, you are right [15:37] acicula: i got a gentoo stage1 , and i'm trying to mount it os-like === enzotib_ is now known as enzotib [15:38] nullp0inter, I had a similar problem> When my screensaver and/or power saver started it would lock the screen black, and I would have to hard restart. [15:38] presumida_: i dont understand, can you rephrase [15:38] ikonia, so lets say you would use linux and you needed a database, would you use mysql or gApps? [15:38] i mean, i got a untarred dir with /dev,/etc, and stuff, and i want it to get mounted chrooted as /, /proc with a proc filesystem, /tmp and /var as temp filsystems, and so acicula [15:39] arand: yup.. but some say its always better to have a fresh install (its faster) [15:39] Hey, i was woundering if anyone can help me. Ive just bought a 32" tv and i am running my computer from it, im using ubuntu 9.10. When i run World Of Warcraft through wine an error message comes up about my graphics, i have a 9 series nvidia card with a 1gb memory so i dont think its a card issue, any ideas? [15:39] viajante: what I would use doesn't matter, it's what you use that fits your needs and applications [15:39] JHPryke, what is the error message? [15:39] presumida_: you are trying to install gentoo? [15:40] Hello folks, I was wondering if someone could advise me on getting my SLI configuration right, I can't seem to do it? [15:40] I have a sneaking suspicion that I have fumbled while trying to make this livecd modification again :/ [15:40] ikonia, so how do you know what to choose? [15:40] viajante: research [15:40] ikonia, thats a big word [15:40] acicula: you type mount and you get : sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) , and the same with different types of mount with usr, tmp, var, etc, opt, and so [15:40] ikonia, phys? [15:40] viajante: 1) define goals, 2)define a measurement, 3) find solution that falls within goals and metrics [15:40] JHPryke, need more specific info about the error message [15:41] reactor: ? [15:41] JHPryke, i came accross the same problem u will have to download a beta version of the driver and convert the file to executable and run it from its directory from terminal as sudo [15:41] where are pidgin's settings stored in ubuntu [15:41] kerwin_: yea, a fresh install makes it possible to use the ext4 filesystem instead, true, but the difference shouldn't be huge though... [15:41] ikonia, phys research? [15:41] i want to mount that dirs like filesystems and with their correct filesystem. but i dont know how to mount a dir [15:41] just curious: will Firefox 3.6 be in karmic's repositories? [15:41] reactor: no, I was talking to viajante and telling him to research applications [15:41] presumida_: man mount, look for bind [15:41] wild_oscar: not planned as of yet [15:41] anyone know of any new bug reports with firefox locking up? i found a bunch of old ones..but my system is up to date [15:41] i did acicula [15:41] presumida_, man mount [15:41] yeah tweaksource73 [15:41] i read about bind [15:41] presumida_: also if you are installing gentoo maybe you should try #gentoo, they have a bit more experience there [15:41] (with gentoo) [15:42] ikonia, oh soz just mixed up :P [15:42] acicula, thx :-) [15:42] reactor: not a problem [15:42] ikonia: bummer [15:42] they won't help me on that chan, stage1 isn't officially supported by gentoo [15:42] presumida_: then we can't help you here [15:42] ikonia, that clue is also a good start [15:42] presumida_: this channel is for ubuntu only [15:42] Hello folks, I was wondering if someone could advise me on getting my SLI configuration right? [15:42] i didn't ask about gentoo [15:42] i may ask the same about ubuntu [15:42] presumida_: apologies I thought this was for a gentoo install [15:42] presumida_: you want to read about bind-mount and chroot [15:42] lets say that dirs are ubuntu ones, any *nix o-s shares the same fhs [15:42] SLI for linus [15:43] jamie74: sli on linux is bad [15:43] jamie74: but very usable [15:43] i mean its too powerful why u need that kind of graphic card [15:43] ikonia, not really - you just need to specify the BusID of the primary card. [15:43] presumida_: are they ubuntu ones ? [15:43] question: is it worty to change from wubi to regular ubuntu? why? [15:43] ibuclaw: really, my experience and reading is that the support is poor ? [15:44] synaptic is worthless [15:44] viajante: personal belief yes, but it's up to you [15:44] viajante, things work better, smoother and you have full controll over the entire PC, [15:44] viajante, wubi is jacked [15:44] ikonia, çi didnt had a flash drive... [15:44] it handless dependancies in a shitty way [15:44] tobiasz: please control your language [15:44] but you know I am right [15:44] :) [15:44] Well, I'm having all kinds of trouble just getting the latest nvidia driver to install [15:44] tobiasz: I just asked you to control your lanuage [15:44] tweaksource73, what do you mean? [15:44] synaptic is soooooo bugged in 9.10 [15:44] yyeah ikonia and llutz i did read about them, but im not sure that is what i want, i dont want em mounted as ubuntu mountpoints, but as completely appart of it, let's say i got one ubuntu and i got an empty partition, and i want to install another ubuntu on it with the standar dirs of my other ubuntu install [15:45] tobiasz: don't use it then [15:45] tobiasz: or log a bug [15:45] jamie74, what driver model do u have [15:45] ikonia synaptic is bug [15:45] presumida_: then you just copy the directoryies over and install grub [15:45] eremite, what control dont I have with wubi? [15:45] tobiasz: don't use it then, ranting in here is not welcome [15:45] and it will work? [15:45] the latest nvidia driver was what took down all my X-windows :) [15:45] tobiasz: you should have been around with Opensuse about 3-4 years ago. THAT was bad dependency handling [15:45] its better to get it from Nvidia itself or if its XFX get it from their website they will provide Beta version [15:45] presumida_: work fine, a common way to change disks [15:45] mauritianguy i'm trying to install 190.53 [15:45] user0303: you tried rolling back your nvidia drivers one version> [15:45] nevans: use the modules in the repositories [15:45] the latest nvidia driver was what took down all my X-windows :) on (SuSe) [15:46] 190.53 is the model?!! [15:46] XF86config editing to no avail [15:46] MauritianGuy: they are kernel modules (drivers) [15:46] purging pidgin doesn't remove configuration files [15:46] i can't even get it to install because i can't seem to stop x-server, i get a scrambled screen everytime i try to stop it prior to driver install [15:46] ok ikonia , let's say in that partition i make a / with gparted of type ext4. [15:46] ikonia, methinks you tab completed the wrong nick? :) [15:46] tobiasz: empathy is default in 9.10 [15:47] i c [15:47] nevans: apologies [15:47] how do i find out the version of ubuntu i am running [15:47] its not in about [15:47] nevans: lsb-release -a [15:47] ikonia: then i mount it on my ubuntu [15:47] jamie74, you are trying to install the latest drivers from the website? [15:47] nullp0inter, cat /etc/issue [15:47] presumida_: you don't need to mount them, - you just boot off the second disk [15:47] ikonia but empathy is so poor it shouldn't replace pidgin [15:47] what is the strategy for giving out device names on ubuntu? my usb ports keep changing and now I cannot mount /dev/sdf1-6 at all [15:47] tobiasz: the ones in your home folder? nor it should... [15:48] tobiasz: ok, use pidgin then [15:48] ibuclaw: yes, i believe the version is 190.53 [15:48] they are not called sdf anymore and mount or fdisk -l does not render any solutions [15:48] ikonia: and then simply paste /dev, /etc and so , grub-install it and will work? [15:48] nullp0inter, in terminal type : cat /etc/issue [15:48] wild_oscar I thought purge should remove configuration files and it is what differs it from regular removing [15:48] wild_oscar it should [15:48] tobiasz: what files were left behind? [15:48] user0303: use labels or uuids to mount, not device-names [15:48] ikonia: what do you mean by bootoff the second disk? [15:48] jamie74, you'll need to uninstall everything NviDIA before you do that. [15:48] thanks llutz [15:48] ~/.purple [15:49] ikonia: i need to mount and paste first the filesystem in there right? [15:49] presumida_: dev is created on boot time so you don't need to copy that, /etc will be copied across from your earlier copy, you'll need to then change /etc on your target system to reference the new disk dievices [15:49] acicula ~/.purple [15:49] tobiasz: well those are user files, those never get purged afaik [15:49] presumida_: no - just copy the directorys to the new disk [15:49] heya all. I run a ubuntu-server 9.10 slice which needs to remain up and reliable, i don't have time to fix it. I need a package from multiverse. If i change my sources am i likely to hit any issue? [15:49] tobiasz: personal files never will be deleted [15:49] llutz that's bullcrap [15:49] ibuclaw: nvidia's site instructs to terminate GDM before installing, is this necessary? [15:49] bah humbug, I think my livecd modification is messed again :/ I'm using module assistant in chroot to install loop-aes to my custom kernel, is that ok? Its failing with no headers specified... [15:49] ikonia: yeah that's it ok [15:49] jamie74, NViDIA doesn't like having multiple versions of itself installed. [15:50] ikonia: many thanks :) [15:50] llutz pidgin kept crashing for me with gfire, and I couldn't fix it by simply reinstalling [15:50] eremite: ty [15:50] jamie74, that is correct. [15:50] tobiasz: files from your home folder are user specific [15:50] oh, but ikonia one more quetion [15:50] tobiasz: purge removes system configuration files, not user config files [15:50] does any one know how to get disk partition information like that of cylinder head and sector [15:50] if i do it that way, the special dirs won't get mounted as they are supposed to [15:50] ibuclaw: that is my problem, i can't seem to properly stop GDM, everytime i try my screen just scrambles and I have to either reboot or go back to graphical [15:50] ikonia: [15:50] tobiasz: you're using a multi-user OS, so stop whining [15:51] presumida_: what special dirs ? [15:51] presumida_: what exactly are you trying to do [15:51] pshr: sudo fdisk -l [15:51] tobiasz: otherwise how would it handle when you have more than one user? [15:51] ibuclaw so i shouldn't actually have any nvidia driver installed yet [15:51] the ones that need a special type of mount ikonia [15:51] jamie74, do you get the same scrambled screen when you boot into recovery mode ? [15:51] eremite, what control dont I have with wubi? [15:51] presumida_: such as ? [15:51] tobiasz: I deleted pidgin i my machine and I'd delete your configuration files too, because we happen to share the same OS? [15:51] ibuclaw no, recovery is clean [15:52] ikonia: for example, proc, sys, var, tmp,... [15:52] presumida_: they don't need special options [15:52] thanks iceroot [15:52] tobiasz: btw, whining about something and saying it's crap or it doesn't work just because you don't understand it is not a good policy [15:52] ikonia: sys needs to be mounted as sysfs, proc as proc, var and tmp as tempfs [15:52] presumida_: and why do you want to mount them, when you boot of the new disk they will get automounted [15:52] pshr: np [15:53] ikonia: without anything more than pasting them in the new partition and installing grub on it? [15:53] presumida_: I've told you what to do [15:53] that would be fun, though, deleting all the other user's files just by removing a piece of software [15:53] ikonia: yeah, to put the necessary dirs and install grub [15:53] presumida_: copy the fiel systems to the new disk, update /etc/fstab on the new disk, install grub on the new disk, and boot the new disk [15:53] jamie74, for installing nvidia drivers manually - this is something I wrote a while ago. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1125400 [15:54] ikonia: ok, so i will [15:54] viajante: https://bugs.launchpad.net/wubi/+bugs [15:54] wild_oscar: my users would be very happy ... :( [15:54] jamie74, I can walk you through it loosely for your particular instance. [15:54] this subject has been beaten to death, but has anybody got netbeans to run decently? the UI is incredibly unresponsive. i am using Sun Java 1.6 with 64 bit karmac [15:54] ikonia: thanx for your time, if i see you l8r i'll let you know how it's going :P many thanks again [15:55] presumida_: welcome [15:55] is there a fast way to add a new sudo user ? [15:55] rambo3: add a user to the admin group [15:55] rambo3, sudo usermod -a -G admin [15:55] ibuclaw ok, let me read over your post and i'll give it another try, i can always come back if that doesn't work [15:56] rambo3: add it to the admin group [15:56] thanks [15:56] rambo3: sudo adduser $USER admin [15:56] jamie74, rather than "sudo service gdm stop", try rebooting into recovery mode and install the driver via the root terminal. [15:56] jamie74, you will get a warning, but it should be harmless. [15:57] ibuclaw: what kind of warning? [15:57] jamie74, that you are in init 1 mode [15:57] can anyone lend a hand with doing modifications to the ubuntu 9.10 livecd, just an overview would help I can try and hunt out the commands. I think I'm approaching it tottaly wrong [15:57] jamie74, runlevel 1, even. [15:58] jamie74, nvidia recommend that you install the driver in runlevel 3, as some services required for detection/whatnot may not be running. [15:58] hi guys, im trying to run install bitlbee, when i run ./configure i get the error "Could not find a suitable SLL library" [15:58] jamie74, I've done it quite a few times, and generally find it a non-issue. [15:59] ibuclaw yes, i've seen that warning before, i've ignored it, but the install fails right after that because the installer complains about X-server running [15:59] Hello. Can someone recommend a nice dvd burning software for making video dvd's with menus? (for ubuntu of course) [15:59] ibuclaw or x-term [15:59] jamie74, oh, no that is a different warning. [15:59] !remaster | Wipster [15:59] Wipster: Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !live CD?

[15:59] oberdada, deveve? [16:00] ibuclaw yes, that's my problem i can't stop x-server to install the driver [16:00] oberdada, or dvdauthor [16:00] jamie74, actually, can you open a terminal and run the command: runlevel [16:00] id like to see the list of services being shut down on shutdown and equally getting started on boot up. is there a way to get around the black screen in ubuntu? [16:00] jamie74, does it output: N 5 [16:00] tweaksource73: you mean devedee? [16:00] ZykoticK9, thanks but I have been reading and following the help documentation but I am stuck and cant find a solution [16:00] Duder: You are probably missing dependencies. Is vitlvee not included in ubuntu repos? [16:00] Duder: try libgnutls-dev [16:01] bitlbee* [16:01] Wipster, sorry man I've never tried it so can't give any advice - good luck [16:01] iceroot, do you know of how to recover a partition [16:01] ZykoticK9, ok thanks anyway [16:01] soreau, bitlbee is in the repos last time I checked. [16:01] ibuclaw: N 2 at present [16:01] user0303: escape or alt tab or alts esc [16:01] Need a distro (I know this is the ubuntu channel)... My project is this - I have an old Dell Latitude D610 with 512 ram and no hard drive... only the left side of the keyboard work, etc... you get the idea... I want a live disk ISO that will run well enough to connect a wireless keyboard and mouse and connect it to my TV so we can watch netflixs and surf the web from there.... fast and simple? Any ideas? === yofel_ is now known as yofel [16:01] user0303: or alt-f1 ? [16:01] James_-_: if you know this is an ubuntu channel - don't ask [16:01] tjanks acicula! [16:01] jamie74, that is interesting ... [16:01] user0303: one of those anyway :) [16:01] usuario [16:01] Duder: If bitlbee is in ubuntu repos, theres no reason to compile it.. [16:01] !info bitlbee [16:01] bitlbee (source: bitlbee): An IRC to other chat networks gateway. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.2.4-1 (karmic), package size 331 kB, installed size 816 kB [16:02] jamie74, is this on this desktop you are sitting at? [16:02] Duder: sudo apt-get build-dep bitlbee [16:02] ibuclaw: i'm sure it has something to do with my SLI configuration, i just can't seem to make it work, I've read several things on it and no luck for me [16:02] James_-_: get something light, like xubuntu? [16:02] I have ubuntu on more things and can shake a stick at... everyone here has been so helpful in the past thought at a minimum you could point me in the right direction [16:02] ibuclaw: yes, looking at it right now [16:02] guys i tried to install it from the repos but i got another error, something about being unable to read .conf files [16:02] james, xubuntu [16:02] acicula; I'll try to find it. thanks again [16:02] there we go... ok acicule thanks [16:02] jamie74, nah, it shouldn't affect what runlevel you are in. [16:03] James_-_: there is no way around 512mb ram with programs like firefox though, it'll get sluggish sometimes [16:03] Duder: What command gives you the error about conf files? [16:03] ibuclaw: i take it i should n't be in level 2? [16:03] Duder: then "do something" to fix that error [16:03] soreau: when i run the software [16:03] Does anyone know how to configure windows to open as a tabbed group? [16:03] acicula are there different flavorers xubuntu or just whats on the main download page [16:04] jamie74, well, runlevel 2,3,4 and 5 are all the same in Ubuntu. but it's usually 5. =) [16:04] James_-_: just the one, it follows the normal ubuntu versioning 9.04,9.10 etc [16:04] where can i get dvdauthor? its not in my "add applications" menu [16:04] james, xubuntu is a "flavor" of ubuntu [16:04] hey , i gotta go, bye ikonia :) cu, bye all , adios erUSUL nos vemos por ubuntu-es jeje soy obiwan_ vneg chao [16:04] Duder: I somehow doubt installing from source is going to make that error disappear.. maybe you should show the command you are running followed by the errors that it gives in a pastebin [16:04] jamie74, runlevel 1 is single-user mode (recovery console). runlevel 6 is reboot. runlevel 0 is shutdown. [16:04] oberdada: dvdauthor is a cli app [16:04] acicula also if i dug up a gig of ram would that solve any problems it will have [16:05] ibuclaw: i see, as I'm sure you've figured out, i'm an ubuntu noob, but i'm willing to learn. right now i'm ready to shoot someone :P [16:05] hey guys, I want to start a backup script on shutdown with upstart... which event shall i bind it to? [16:05] oberdada, "sudo apt-get install dvdauthor" from cli, or use Synatic -- not everything is listed in Add/Remove [16:05] James_-_: most definitly [16:05] acicula well i will start with my 512 today and see what i can dig up over the next week, I thank you for your time [16:05] James_-_: unless a processor is truelly archaic ie PIII and lower adding more mem is the best way to improve performance [16:06] thanks [16:06] bitlbee error: http://pastebin.com/m287195de [16:06] Duder: does "/etc/bitlbee/bitlbee.conf" exist? [16:06] jamie74, hehe - just be lucky you have interwebz... 4 years ago, I didn't (motherboard was buggy and caused system freeze on all systems except Debian Woody). [16:07] Duder: "ls -ld /var/lib/bitlbee/" says what? [16:07] jamie74, anyways, let me know how you get on with that push-legacy guide =) [16:07] llutz: drwx------ 2 bitlbee bitlbee 4096 2010-01-22 16:24 /var/lib/bitlbee/ [16:07] ibuclaw: i sure will, thanks for taking the time to help me out [16:08] if u increase the IV-Swap drive size to like twice the RAM how much difference does it make [16:08] hey guys, i installed karmic on an hp envy 15, but i can't get the camera tow rok [16:08] congrats [16:08] hey guys, i installed karmic on an hp envy 15, but i can't get the camera to work. any clues? [16:08] MauritianGuy, no difference - unless you plan on hibernating your workstation. [16:08] does it matter [16:09] Duder: Perhaps you need to add your user to the bitlbee group? [16:09] what do u mean ibuclaw [16:09] Duder: does "/etc/bitlbee/bitlbee.conf" exist? [16:09] MauritianGuy, swap is a "fallback" cache used to stop your system from crashing in Linux. [16:09] hibernating will consume more ram [16:09] hi all [16:09] MauritianGuy, no - to hibernate your system, you require a swap that in equal-to, or greater-than your RAM size. [16:10] the file exists, but i need root to open it [16:10] MauritianGuy, because when you hibernate, everything in RAM gets pushed into the swap drive before you shutdown. [16:10] i forgot, how do i make it free to use for all accounts [16:10] hi, I have 9.10 installed and I have xp also, now all I need is a way to choose which os on startup. currently it boots to ubuntu and have no way to go to xp, any guide, help [16:10] what does the autoclean actually do [16:10] i saw it in some linux PDF manual i just wanted to know why it was recomended [16:10] MauritianGuy: When hibernating all you ram get's copied and "frozen" in th swap space [16:10] MauritianGuy, and when you boot, the reverse happens (Swap -> RAM). [16:10] how does it determine what to clean up [16:10] Duder: what user at "User = "? [16:11] colin_: It removes packages which are still installed but not being used any more [16:11] MauritianGuy, as I said initially, swap is good as a "fallback" for when you are running low of RAM. [16:11] Duder: you don't want to make it writeable to other [16:11] I c that's interesting [16:11] alloosh: if you hold shift while booting does it show a boot menu? [16:11] it's there to stop your system from crashing [16:11] why hibernate when you can just lock the screen? [16:11] Duder: bitlbee.conf is root:root 640 [16:11] it doesnt make your comp run faster? [16:11] User = bitlbe [16:11] tuxsun: power saving [16:12] apm settings under the screensaver don't accomplish the same power saving?? [16:12] u guys know so much i got to be here mo often [16:12] Duder: User = bitlbee it has to be [16:12] llutz: root 640? Im not following you now [16:12] MauritianGuy, if you have 2GB+ of RAM, you only require 2GB swap - unless you plan on hibernating, then you instead have RAM+512MB size. [16:12] just looking at the channel main i learn a lot [16:12] llutz: yea it is bitlbee [16:12] tuxsun: hibernation uses zero power, that's never doable othetwise [16:12] tuxsun: screensaver is not powersaving [16:12] MauritianGuy, if you have less than 2GB RAM, RAM*1.5 size swap is recommended. [16:12] i got like 4GB but i kinds over did the IV-swap to 8GB [16:13] Duder: sorry, bitlbee.conf has to be: -rw-r----- 1 root bitlbee [16:13] a screensaver doesnt save power in any waye ven [16:13] MauritianGuy, =) [16:13] i thought it would make it work faster lol [16:13] llutz: so exactly what do i need to type? chmod somethign ? [16:13] Duder: so sudo chown root:bitlbee /etc/bitlbee/bitlbee.conf [16:13] I know screensaver itself is not, but the advanced power management (APM) settings that shut off the monitor and drives, etc.... isn't that all hibernation can do?? [16:13] MauritianGuy, unless you run 3 Virtual Machines at once, chances am that you will never use the swap. [16:14] acicula: it's a screensaver, not a powersaver [16:14] tuxsun: hibernation shuts down the machine and stores the current system state on the hard drive [16:14] ikonia: thats what i said [16:14] i am planning of using VM workstation [16:14] acicula: sorry, I've just re-read I thought you where asking that [16:14] so i guess its good then === jeremy_ is now known as JeoMAN [16:14] llutz: I still get the same error, what is chown anyways [16:14] Duder: It seems bitlbee is already started when its installed, so all there is left to do is use it http://bugs.bitlbee.org/bitlbee/ticket/446 [16:15] Duder: enter "whatis chown" [16:15] MauritianGuy, unlike Windows/Mac, which use 500MB+ when you boot the workstation, Linux is (for the time being) rather tiny in comparison [16:15] i am planning on sticking to Lunux learn as much as i can and do my work on virtual machine [16:15] ahhh. I forgot that hibernation actually powered down and did that system snapshot [16:15] MauritianGuy, using from 200MB+ [16:15] do man chown in a console to learn more about chown [16:15] ikonia: just here to help ;) [16:15] llutz: k thx [16:15] Duder: Isnt there a client that you use bitlbee with? [16:15] soreau: checking the link [16:15] chown let's you change the owner and/or group of a file or set of files [16:16] oh i increased that to 400MB as well [16:16] MauritianGuy, Linux does love caching things in RAM though - so I guess the only thing that can speed up your system is more of it =) [16:16] Duder: In the link, it says BitlBee is automaticallly started when you install the package. [16:16] hehe [16:16] Duder: So my guess is it isnt meant to be ran directly but you probably just use it with whatever program that uses the service [16:17] lol yea xD ok well how do i run it from irssi [16:17] do i need to open a port in the router for remote desktop viewer to work on a home LAN? both machines configured to allow remote desktop but can't see each other. ssh works fine, however [16:17] yea i feel stupid now [16:17] :) [16:17] MauritianGuy, 2GB RAM is optimal though for most modern workstations. [16:17] Duder: http://admiralchicago.wordpress.com/2007/03/22/bitlbee-and-irssi/ [16:17] i cant log into karmic via GDM ? all is fine using recovery the account works but after starting the GDM my account fails any clues? [16:17] Duder: you connect to it like to a normal IRC server. [16:17] tuxsun: not for connections between local lan machines [16:17] ok [16:17] Duder: given you've configured the bitlbee first [16:17] tuxsun: opening up router ports exposes the service to the entire internet even [16:17] k checkin the link [16:17] MauritianGuy: just don't try to run any genome sequensing applications on those 2GB [16:17] hey guysk i have a question about using NAPI for my ethernet driver [16:17] so with my 4GB i should not get much crash [16:18] has anyone ever used this before? [16:18] wjat [16:18] MauritianGuy: why would you get a crash based on mem size to begin with [16:18] thanks, acicula... that's what I thought... will need to explore more when I have more time... thanks for the info [16:18] hey my peeps I got a custom them saved in my Appearances Preferences. I want to save this to a usb key and move it to another computer. help! [16:18] Duder: A quick google search shows this http://admiralchicago.wordpress.com/2007/03/22/bitlbee-and-irssi/ [16:18] what's the kernel module name for the webcams, please? | more [16:19] vbajic: video4linux and co [16:19] i dont know realy [16:19] !webcam > vbajic [16:19] vbajic, please see my private message [16:19] MauritianGuy: then why worry about it? [16:19] acicula: danke [16:19] i am just installing everything through that PDF [16:19] vbajic: np [16:20] and i thnk whoever wrote it has a thing for a lot of memory [16:20] Duder: Of course I will say the messages given when attempting to run bitlbee directly are misleading. It should probably tell you that its a daemon that is already running ;) [16:20] i'll have to start thinking in a different perspective when it comes to linux [16:21] MauritianGuy: everyone has ideas about mem and swap, but just let the installer decided how much it thinks you need and it will be fine [16:22] acicula: so basically, if i'm not seeing the video4linux driver in the lsmod list, it's not loaded, right? [16:22] ok thanks guys, i gotta do some other stuff right now but i'll check into this later. thanks for the help and link, kthxbye [16:22] anyone here got some experiance with remastering livecd's? My attempts have failed and I am not too sure what to do [16:22] vbajic: the system is called video4linux, the driver is something shorter [16:22] I cannot connect to the Internet anymore using Ubuntu through a socks4 proxy anymore. Did something recently change? [16:23] Wipster, man i think whatever ur trying to do must be complicated it sounds complicated [16:23] back for a few... suggestions on troubleshooting the Remote Desktop Viewer? 1 pc is running 9.10 and the other is 8.04 LTS ... both sytems up-to-date [16:23] I can I configure ubuntu to force add some static "search" domains to /etc/resolv.conf when regenerated by /sbin/resolvconf?

[16:30] MauritianGuy, well sofar I am downloading the livecd and mounting and extracting it, then chrooting it and mounting the bits and bobs in there, I am downloading the kernel source from the repos and applying the default config with one modification then recompiling, problem being inserting it into the image and applying the loop-aes module. Its the final part I am falling over [16:30] what does autoclean actually do??? [16:30] anyone familiar with any distros for PPPOE? [16:30] tuxsun: Then vino should be running and should allow you to connect.

What I am looking for is the icon that comes at the VERY top right, it displays your user name, and when clicking it, you can choose different shutdown options, etc. [17:39] JonFromCanada: try apt-get install indicator-applet-session , log out and back in and then try adding it via the same way [17:40] in the logs the last lines says; wlan0 supplicant manager state; down > idle [17:40] what can i do? [17:40] ganymede: Run who to see who is logged in and top or htop to see whats going on [17:40] ubuntuG13 is a sato x400 printer [17:40] I'm having problems using postfix. Some emails seem to not get sent by postfix, but they also don't show up in the postfix log (even with -v for verbose turned on). Could it still be a postfix problem, or is it more likely whatever is trying to send to postfix? [17:40] acicula: Ahh hell. That'd do it. I had a very random problem where my GNOME got destroyed [don't ask me how], so my friend had to completely nuke gdm and anything that depended upon gdm. I suppose some packages were left behind when we re-installed them. [17:41] acicula: I'll be back, logging. [17:41] sigh. flash worked perfectly fine in 9.04 :( [17:41] jellow, but that doesn't tell me everything. suppose i see "gedit" in ps aux, i still can't tell whether the user has unsaved files open [17:42] ganymede, lsof will show you all the open file pointers on the system [17:42] any hope for flashplayer which isn't eating up to 90% cpu [17:42] ? [17:43] Nichod: which folder? should be ~/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so .. [17:43] Back. Still one small issue but I do not recall the user of the person helping me. [17:44] JonFromCanada: acicula was helping you [17:44] I need to put something in the very top right of the GNOME UI panel, beside the clock, but I don't know how to move anything past the separator [17:45] I have a Tomcat server running on Ubuntu Hardy that has a WebDAV folder set up over SSL/HTTPS. I can access the directory from an OS X client no problem. However, when I try to connect to the directory from an Ubuntu Jaunty client, Nautilus gives up and says "not authenticated". Anyone else able to get WebDAV/Nautilus working? [17:45] Anyone know how to move a widget to that area? [17:45] Nichod: Ah, just saw earlier msgs, so flash is working but poorly... Don [17:45] hi i am doing an update and i am asked about samba, it says keep the local version currently installed , etc etc [17:45] Nichod: ..'t know what to do about that.. [17:45] fommil_: Yeah, but like its harder to do [17:45] install the package maintainers version means? [17:45] Is there a reason why Samba Shares stopped working in 9.10? [17:45] ubuntus latest? [17:45] JoeSomebody: Yes [17:45] Flare-Laptop: ? [17:46] fommil_: like WebDAV is evil to Nautilus you have to add something special for it work [17:46] JoeSomebody: If you have any own specific configurations they might be overwritten in that case [17:46] i assume its best to do "install the package maintainers version"? [17:46] idk remember exactly what tho [17:46] acicula: I need to put that new widget into the top right now, the issue is it is stopped at the separator before wifi battery sound clock, etc. How do I move a widget to this area? [17:46] Flare-Laptop: right [17:46] fommil_: Let me look it up :) [17:46] JoeSomebody: Unless you have edited the samba config manually [17:47] Flare-Laptop: that would be helpful, I've tried but failed [17:47] JonFromCanada: if you don't have any specific settings there you know of, yes install the "maintainer's" [17:47] is there any certain reason why samba doesn't work right in 9.10? [17:47] JonFromCanada: you need to unlock it -> Right click On seperator > Uncheck "Lock to panel" [17:47] dsearle, i have [17:47] acicula: I'm an idiot. Got it. Thanks. [17:47] i'll have to copy it off [17:48] lol jellow I know I just realised. haha. [17:48] where is that file again? :) [17:48] fommil_: Like I've got a "Secure WebDAV" option on my server's GUI, and I know it works. So let me find out how I got that to work again :) [17:48] JonFromCanada, right click on the separator and uncheck "lock to panel", move your new applet where you want it - then you could relock it if you wanted [17:48] JoeSomebody: Well i would select the "keep current version" [17:48] JoeSomebody: I believe /etc/samba/smb.conf [17:48] ubuntuG13: Perhaps if you explain to everyone what isn't working exactly, then there will be a suggestion. Its working fine for me on my installs. [17:48] i am usually a latest version kind of guy [17:50] after I install Ubuntu 9.10 on Desktop and Laptop and install samba and smbfs they say Cant open Windows Share and also nautilus pops up a dbus message saying the folders/shares are already mounted, I can view the shares but not connect [17:50] ubuntuG13 I am on a laptop, I ve got power failure and battery is finish, Im not quite sure if you are still with me. I ust found virtual bon, I will try that. Thanks again [17:50] Why won't mp3's play in ubuntu karmic, i install restricted extras and it wont find any plugins when it tries to search for them. [17:50] so i have saved the bottom section, iirc that is the only part i need to write back? [17:51] hwilde, man...that is quite a bit of output to weed through. i think i'll just...wait until they get back [17:51] conb123, have you tried playing MP3s with something other then Rhythmbox? [17:51] should i close all other programs like this one while updating? (i usually do) [17:51] ganymede, you should be able to grep for somethin === WinXpSuxx is now known as winspsux [17:51] ZykoticK9: Well yeah i tried it in the movie player as well, totem i think it's called === winspsux is now known as WinXpSux\ [17:52] conb123 ive have you restarted rhythmbox since u installed the extras? [17:52] heavens the best way is to probably use VirtualBox install XP get it working in there then share to Ubuntu [17:52] JoeSomebody: Would be a wise idea [17:52] ganymede, lsof | grep theirusername [17:52] any hope for flashplayer which isn't eating up to 90% cpu? [17:52] ok thanks [17:52] after I install Ubuntu 9.10 on Desktop and Laptop and install samba and smbfs they say Cant open Windows Share and also nautilus pops up a dbus message saying the folders/shares are already mounted, I can view the shares but not connect [17:52] CAPcap: Yup [17:52] JoeSomebody: Usaully not much of a problem [17:52] conb123 how about ur computer? [17:52] I will try, Hope to get there [17:52] bonjour [17:52] ok, later :0 [17:52] JoeSomebody: but its "recomended" ;) [17:52] hi ^^' [17:53] hwilde, but there's still a question of whether that is revealing everything...maybe they're in the middle of typing up an email in a webmail interface and it hasn't saved a draft...etc, it's still most preferable to actually log into their session [17:53] CAPcap: Well no would i really have to do that? [17:53] ganymede, run "top" and see if there are any active processes with their username [17:53] tobiasz: gnash, maybe... You'd have to whine at adobe for that, which don't seem to care much for gnu/linux-flash [17:54] conb123 not usually, but ive had problems with rhythmbox too that are now gone... couldnt play m4a files but they play now and all i can remember doing was rebooting. it never hurts realy [17:54] hwilde, but there is still a difference between a running process and an application with unsaved data [17:54] ola [17:54] ola [17:55] fommil_: Like I can't find it :( [17:55] Flare-Laptop: like, thanks [17:55] CAPcap: Right ok then, I just tried vlc as well, it started playing but there was no sound [17:55] fommil_: lol Nice :P [17:55] A stubborn DVD won't eject. How do I force it to eject? [17:56] elou [17:56] NoobUser: sudo umount /dev/dvd1 [17:56] Flare-Laptop: that's pretty crazy that SSL WebDAV isn't supported out of the box [17:56] NoobUser: eject -t [17:56] conb123 thats beyond me sorry. :\ just post ur questions again [17:56] fommil_: Well I know its possible so yeah [17:56] jellow: Not working.

[18:04] Ziber, writing to swap is using your harddrive, which is theoretically slower read/write than ram [18:04] Yo yo yo [18:05] * Ziber nods... [18:05] noticably slower? [18:05] Ziber: yes [18:05] okay. [18:05] Ziber, the slow down will be the amount of data in swap divided by the difference in readwrite speed between ram and your harddrive [18:05] Ziber: often Linux uses all the available RAM for caching the hard disks, to make file reads faster. It can instantly free this cache memory for applications, though, when the require it [18:06] octaveous, do you mean something along this article ? http://bit.ly/2kZfXA [18:06] alright... [18:06] Ziber: free -m reports the total mem in use and the mem acutally used after subtracting buffered stuff [18:06] acicula: yeah, thats how i saw that is has very little physical ram left. [18:06] *it has [18:06] Ziber, it is worth noting linux will use as much ram as possible to try to make things fast, it doesn't necessarily mean you are out of memory [18:06] okay. [18:07] Ziber: unused ram is wasted ram [18:07] Ziber, for example, try opening a bunch of applications, and run that command again [18:07] Ziber: thats normal, look in the free column ,the 2e value is the real fre memory for applications === matt64- is now known as erle- [18:07] it will have shifted memory from cache and buffers into use [18:07] ie, on a VM i'm running, i have 2mb of physical ram (only gave it 128mb), but 2G of swap. [18:08] Ziber: you can instruct the system to drop the cache but it will rebuild soon. It will let you see the ral used ram for actual apps though [18:08] well, as long as it wont run out of mem and like crash or something, im fine. [18:09] I followed this tut to get samba going and it wont let me connect: http://www.jonathanmoeller.com/screed/?p=1168 [18:09] I tried to share the Public folder in the home Dir [18:09] Ziber: totally, the kernel is smart and will sort it out for you based on what it has to play with [18:09] Ziber: your actual mem is backed by swap, so its almost always dettrimental to assign very little memory and much hd swap to a vm [18:09] I edited my smb.conf so the home dir would be available [18:09] is it possible to see every ip that a user has ever had? [18:10] acicula: its a bad idea to give 2G of hd swap and 128mb RAM? why? [18:10] Ubuntug13: nautilus can share folders for you (if you use it) [18:10] * alteregoa eats a karmic banana [18:10] Ziber: say you have 4GB of actual mem, and start 10 VMS wit 128MB mem and the rest HD swap [18:10] yes I know it wasnt working I can share between ubuntu now but not Windows VM [18:10] Ziber: it will lead to extensive hd swapping while you still have plenty of mem left [18:10] Ziber, ram is faster than swap. that is the only point here [18:10] Pyrophelia: users don't get ip addresses, hostnames do [18:10] your OS will back real mem with swap when necessary [18:10] well, the physical box only has 256mb of RAM to begin with. [18:11] upgrade. [18:11] Ziber: ah, then why virtualize on that? [18:11] get 2gb [18:11] with 2gb ubuntu runs smoothly [18:11] its an old laptop that my dad was going to trash. and its all i have to play with [18:11] Ziber: you can set swappiness lower to reduce swapping by the kernel. But 2gb for 128mb ram is a lot [18:11] does anyone know the java irc [18:12] like the freenode server [18:12] alright... [18:12] fair enough, its gonna be slow though, lots of swapping on laptop hd's , well :/ [18:12] Colin_: try #java [18:12] you can set swap in your video memory [18:12] I just installed ubuntu on my macbook and I wanted to say I am amazingly impressed with how well it installed [18:12] everything is working perfectly, audio video sleep hibernate wireless even the touchpad [18:13] chewbranca, make a backup image before you jinx it [18:13] hwilde, hahaha [18:13] seriously. [18:13] actionparsnip, I've setup a private login for a client and I want to know if they have tried to login yet [18:13] chewbranca: +1 to hwilde. Get partimage on the case ;) [18:14] hwilde, already backed up osx on there, but it was just a base install, only thing I had to configure was the touchpad [18:14] I havent had any real problems either chewbranca but im running a dell laptop. only thing that doesnt work is hibernate but this is an old model that couldnt hibernate back when it was windows so thats not surprising [18:14] kinda having an issue. always before, my bit torrent clients (transmission, deluged) ran fine. now they're eating a ton of cpu and lagging up the whole machine including GUI really bad. would there be any way to find out what they're doing? [18:14] actionparsnip, I would like to be able to see the IPs of seccessful and attempts of logins if there is a way [18:14] unfortunately my backup drive is much smaller than my laptop drive so I don't have room to do extra backups right now [18:14] Pyrophelia: if its a basic user logon there are logs foe that so you can see when a user logged on etc [18:14] PyroPhelia, /var/log/auth.log [18:15] militant: heavy disk activity, many torrents or large amount of connections? [18:15] i really should install ubuntu 9.04 on my other box (which i used to use as a windows xp pro desktop) which has 2gb of ram [18:15] CAPcap, nice, yeah its working surprisingly well for me [18:15] PyroPhelia: last "user" [18:15] Pyrophelia: not sure what granularity they use though. Maybe it needs adding [18:15] i want to access a folder in my ubuntu desktop from my xp laptop, can anybody help me? [18:16] !samba > crom09 [18:16] Ziber: if it suits the requirement of the system, go for it [18:16] crom09, please see my private message [18:16] this is a 1st gen macbook, so not the strongest of components, so I'm going to throw on awesome wm or xmonad to make it even faster [18:16] acicula, i'm thinking disk activity, preallocating space and so on. deluged hung so bad i couldn't kill it except by rebooting, stayed that way for an hour... transmission came out of it mostly now [18:16] militant: got many torrents open/seeding? [18:16] Ziber: if the xp is running fine, why fix what isn't broken ;) [18:16] ok, I installed the samba thing, and shared the folder, but i don't know how to see it from my xp laptop [18:16] just one [18:17] militant: if you pause the torrent does the problem go away? [18:17] crom09, http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/Sharing_Ubuntu_Linux_Folders_with_Remote_Windows_Systems [18:17] crom09, probably not in the same workgroup, check the whole 'windows network' [18:17] Crom09: read the factoid fully [18:17] hi all [18:17] crom09, or just connect directly, that usually works a lot easier [18:17] ok, going to read that [18:17] militant: in that case it may just be making to much connections, reducint the total allowed connection count may help [18:17] crom09, there is actually a youtube video as well if you search "How-to: File sharing with Ubuntu using Samba" [18:17] crom09, hit connect to server and type the ip address :D [18:18] ok thx, i'll see these things and ask agian if i still have problems [18:18] hmmm. it's mostly come out of it. weird that they both ran into issues though, and only lately.

Check the permissions of the file." [18:29] DanaG: My guess would be to create a partition with encrypted file system, cp everything from home to it, then make a symlink [18:29] CAPcap, how are you trying to install? [18:29] oh heck, if I were going to do that, I'd just reinstall. [18:29] I downloaded it from Google's website and am letting the package installer do the work... [18:30] Is there any easier way? [18:30] I don't actually have very much data on the thing right now.' [18:30] hmm [18:30] so how do i install glx package [18:31] Capcap: add the chromium ppa. Much easier [18:31] my mysql server suddenly decided not to work anymore [18:31] I downloaded some python script to do it for me, nvrmnd guys, thanks.

[18:32] partition=directory :) [18:32] CAPcap, since chrome is open source, some linux devs built their own version because it was kinda taking google a while to get around to making the linux version [18:33] Capcap: chromium is the bleeding edge version [18:33] CAPcap, i just use the google-chrome, myself [18:33] well i want to run"glxinfo | grep dri [18:33] " and the output is "The program 'glxinfo' is currently not installed" [18:33] skrite so chromium is a debian/ubuntu custom stable version essentially? [18:33] I want the thing with the least performance impact. [18:33] Capcap: you cannot add some addons to chrome and you must use chromium. It also means you can install using apt-get etc which is much nicer [18:33] JJR, what exactly is the problem with your display [18:34] I don't need resistance to brute-force; just resistance to casual snooping by other users.

[19:33] racquad, server is ONLY terminal, no GUI - how is it changing resolution? [19:33] in the beginning was the command line.... [19:33] vbajic: ahh, so you're suggesting i don't use what i want to use, eh? [19:33] sometimes i think the goal of linux help channels becomes warding off newcomers to the os... [19:34] the goal of many users in the channel, at least [19:34] eremite, it changes after boot. it still textmode, but with a different resolution rather than the 80x25 [19:34] capon: I guessed as much, try sudo modprobe iwl3945 please [19:34] ZykoticK9, I don't know. As I said, it keeps under textmode, but not 80x25 [19:34] Windopain, just looking at the ammount of people in here should tell the new linux user just how easy it is to use linux. [19:35] Edgan: it says I'm trying to save on a read-only disk [19:35] racquad, you might want to ask the same question in the server channel. good luck.

[19:35] without compbiz and bling bling [19:35] do i edit that file? [19:35] ZykoticK9, I tried, but no answer came from there.

[20:03] JoeSomebody: yes, a memtest, a failsafe, and on occasion kernel updates may apply an additional entry [20:03] I have ubuntu 9.1 [20:04] hmmm so hdparm -i /dev/sda1 doesn't seem to tell me much about read/write speeds [20:04] JoeSomebody: if there are some you don't want/need you can delete them === mike is now known as Guest42913 [20:04] so i figured you know my menu, i'l ask here [20:04] Windopain: hdparm -tT /dev/sda1 [20:04] jgcampbell300: i wouldnt know without digging back into the zenoss docs, best to have a looksie yourself [20:04] how about this... is there a way to display the speed files are being copied at while they are being copied? i've seen this in other versions of linux and also in win7 [20:04] JoeSomebody: you've been told the answer [20:04] ikonia, thak you for all that i understand much better [20:05] hwilde, thank you too [20:05] hi i would like to create a slide show of pictures for my desktop background (ubuntu 9.10) ive looked at a script on the fourm i am just a bit stuck at this step "make the script executable: chmod u+x name_of_script" could someone explain what it is please? [20:05] Welshy-Rob, that says to change the permissions of the script so it is +x which is executable [20:05] === MFriedman is now known as PipHog === PipHog is now known as MFriedman [20:05] Welshy-Rob: run that command replacing name_of_script with the actual name [20:06] IdleOne, in terminal? [20:06] Welshy-Rob: you will need to cd to the dir where you saved the script, yes in terminal [20:06] so my understanding is that ubuntu does not support firefox 3.6? [20:06] yet [20:07] alesan: it doesn't not supoprt it, it's just not packaged yet [20:07] im sure it will Really Really Soon. there's nothing stopping you from downloading it [20:07] alesan: correct, ussually software revisions are not updated but just maintained for security updates [20:07] can anyone tell me why teamspeak doesnt work at all. [20:07] i cant hear or say anything [20:07] I have lost my right click menu and icons on my desktop, metacity --replace had no effect. Any suggestions? [20:07] IdleOne, okay ill give it a go so i cd to my scrip and then type chmod u+x background ?? [20:07] alesan: I heard that 3.6 was going to be skipped by the mozilla team and they were going straight to 3.7 [20:07] snarkster: teamspeak doesnt play well with other programs using sound [20:07] acicula, that's so bad, I could understand minor packages but come on, this is firefox... [20:07] i can log into the server [20:07] Welshy-Rob: Can you please check PM :)? [20:07] before i go, on behalf of us newbies, i humbly ask SOME of you to have more patience with us, you know who you are, we are already frustrated by windows, if you are too frustrated to be a helper, don't speak to us :) [20:07] snarkster: what version of teamspeak? [20:07] Jeruvy, firefcox 3.6 has been released yesterday go on the home page on mozilla.com [20:08] Welshy-Rob: chmod +x filename. [20:08] JoeSomebody: people have patience with you# [20:08] version 2.0.32.60 [20:08] alesan: its a new version, so probably will be made available via backports, and is via ppa [20:08] alesan: it was? Ok I'll have a peek. [20:08] if you think #ubuntu is mean, try #centos someday. those guys are jerks! [20:08] snarkster: how did you install and invoke teamspeak? [20:08] ive installed aoss, but what is my sound device? [20:08] Jeruvy, it is 3.7 that will be scrapped ot go directly to 4.0 [20:08] How do I make ubuntu prompt for my username on startup, instead f just the password? [20:08] snarkster: dsp [20:08] from the menu [20:08] its set to dsp [20:08] acicula, those words do not make much sense to the average Ubunut user. [20:09] well im looking at it so i understood what he meant.. [20:09] Im thinking its some other config problem with me sound maybe [20:09] ive never been able to get a mic working ever in my 7 years using linux. [20:09] snarkster: maybe some other programs are still using the alsa portion, that blocks the oss emu, you could try it with pulseaudio dsp emulation i think? [20:10] snarkster: hm i think i cant help you we are using ts3 and i uninstalled pulse audio sorry [20:10] ok [20:11] does anyone know if the XEN virtual machine server is stable enough for regular use with say 9.10 ?

[20:27] r u go ? [20:27] hema: he asked because it sounds like english is not your first language, but you're saying it is?

Any ideas? [20:27] hema, you can just login as root, but that is not recommended, because then your system will be insecure, and you will have similar problems to windows which is probably why you hate it in the first place [20:28] so my list dosnt have where its at ? [20:28] adac, did you run the hostname command too ? [20:28] hwilde, nope [20:28] !find nxclient karmic [20:28] hema: I aksed because there are other channels in other languages and I thought you might be more comfortable in one of your native language [20:28] File nxclient found in apparmor-profiles, kde-icons-mono, libnxcl-dev, php-doc [20:28] jgcampbell300, hmm that is odd standby [20:28] yes english dosn t my first language [20:28] aha [20:28] kk [20:28] hwilde: Please don't recommend logging in as root, that is not recommended or supported here [20:28] i m now under stand [20:28] im using static network settings and /etc/resolv.conf has no effect on my name servers.

[20:53] wine.. [20:54] purpleGecko, not in ubuntu 9.10 [20:54] no need for that, unrar (nonfree) works just fine [20:54] Ok both of you!

This image is readonly for performance reasons. It mount homedirs over NFS and authenticates against kerberos. My question is, is this approach different enough to write a howto on the wiki? [21:01] truk77, yes when you boot up press "ctrl alt f2" [21:01] snake_: ok, thanks, will try [21:01] asd [21:01] <_vbu> Hi. I am running ubuntu 8.04, due to some issue kernel panics, i searched for crash dumps in /var/crash but there isn't one. Is there some way to get a crash dump [21:01] snake_: nope, type, chip and all that is important to solve the problem, if its not autodetected after a fresh install first connecgt a cable and update your system completely, maybe it will already propose the proper drivers via preferences->hardware drivers [21:02] _vbu: kernel panics do not generate crash dumps [21:02] <_vbu> acicula: can i enable kernel dump in ubuntu [21:03] _vbu: well i assume you can force the kernel to dump somewhere [21:03] <_vbu> acicula: yes i want the same [21:03] _vbu: otherwise noone could debug it, but dunno, what do you get a kernel panic at [21:03] is it just failing to mount the root fs or? [21:04] mvn071: it wont hurt ? afaik the pxe wiki focusses on just the simple installation case [21:04] <_vbu> acicula: i am running a custom module of mine and i want to debug it [21:04] <_vbu> acicula: which tool or kernel option is used to enable the crash dump [21:05] _vbu: yeah you will have to look into kernel debugging, but if its a mod consider loading/unloading it into a running kernel rather then debugging at boot? [21:05] _vbu: wouldnt know [21:06] <_vbu> acicula: its a dynamic loadable module. but after running a few hours the system crashes.

How can I do chgrp on everything except that one? [21:18] it's strange no ? [21:18] man ls: "option -F, --classify: append indicator (one of */=>@|) to entries." What does the indicator '@' stand for? [21:19] normally i would be able to change owner of mounted dir ? [21:19] sheldon: ntfs doesnt support unix permissions, you can change the owner of the entire filesystem when you mount it though [21:19] gcc:no input files error in the terminal but in synaptic manager gcc is installed [21:19] i have installed eclipse as /opt/eclipsexx (download, not via synaptic). That's fine for me to use as a developer. Pydev updates from the pydev site when I'm using eclipse. On the other hand, eclipse doesn't update and doesn't show the eclipse update site as "available" unless I execute eclipse from the command line as root. Is this the way it should be? [21:19] or, how can I chgrp on .gfvs? [21:20] how can i do this ? [21:20] omg i was just messing about with Cheese, taking multiple photos and suddenly these voices came on saying stuff like 'hahaha you look' and 'cheeeeese!' i nearly got a heartattack, i live alone and i was in complete silence. whats that all about? [21:20] i must to add sudo permission to my user for mount ? [21:20] bullgard, "@" in ls -F = symbolic link [21:21] sheldon: how are you mounting it currently, do you have a line in your fstab? [21:21] consolecowboy, - lol [21:21] jjk: the error means gcc works but it doesnt have anything to do [21:21] in root, mount -t ntfs-3g ...... [21:22] sheldon: add the option gid=value [21:22] How do I extract a file inside an ISO file?

[21:23] Howdy all. At the moment, I have a file server at home, and I mount a directory on there from any computer in the house using nfs, with full rw permissions, all is hunky-dory. I have a static ip, so I thought it might be useful to be able to mount a directory on the server from the web. There seems to be two ways of doing this, either by sshfs, or mounting a nfs share over ssh. Which one of these would #ubuntu recommend? in terms of security and ea [21:23] se of use. Mounting the share from the web should probably be limited to one directory on the server, with no write permissions. Thanks [21:23] Appreciated [21:23] @acicula:but my programs are not working here when i use gcc command in terminal [21:24] jjk: if you type gcc in the terminal what does it say [21:24] jophish: install openssh-server and use ssh. far, FAR more secure. [21:25] mneptok: both things he mentioned use that [21:25] hey all! [21:25] sshfs is probably based on sftp and scp, the other uses the ssh tunnel to route nfs traffic over? [21:25] so I am having problems installing on a Flash Drive [21:25] acicula: yes. but nfs+ssh introduced another potential attack surface in nfs [21:25] jophish: yeah +1 on security, but remember to change port 22 to something more obscure [21:25] thanks mneptok, is this: http://www.howtoforge.com/nfs_ssh_tunneling what you have in mind? [21:25] mneptok: not really [21:26] mneptok: you tunnel from one machine to another [21:26] I want to make it as the primary boot disc. I'm running desktop on a server [21:26] jophish: no, leave nfs out of it. [21:26] so nfs is never exposed to the internet [21:26] @acicula:it says "gcc:no input files" [21:26] jjk: then gcc is working [21:26] anyone? [21:26] using sshfs is probably easier though [21:26] acicula: its safe to run nfs just make sure your iptables or fw is configured well enough [21:27] FishLightDesign: did you choose to boot from usb in the bios settings? [21:27] yeah, I have a live version of desktop running right now [21:27] what is insecure about sshing into the server, and them mounting a nfs share from there? as in the link I posted [21:27] FishLightDesign: so what is the problem? [21:27] and the flash is plugged in. but I want the flash to actually serve as the boot drive for the computer [21:27] I have't installed linux on it yet [21:27] @acicula:when i do my programs output is not coming here [21:27] or how would I mount the directory using just ssh? [21:28] FishLightDesign: which part are you stuck on? [21:28] man ls: "option -F, --classify: append indicator (one of */=>@|) to entries.' What does the indicator '@' stand for? [21:28] Hi, is Ubuntu netbook remix defined by the configurations and set of available packages or are the packages recompiled in a way to save space, for example? [21:28] słabo znam angielski [21:28] jophish: same network? by any chance [21:28] let me try again... hold on. I'm going to wipe the drive and try the install again [21:29] Heya people-I got a question regarding setting a specific resolution for gdm in 9.10. I can not see the user list etc,because the resolution is too high.I would like to set it to 1024x768-xrandr and saving into /etc/gdm/Init/Default didn't help( I followed several suggestions but nada).. [21:29] what do you mean aeon-ltd ? [21:29] Laibsch: its meant to fit on a small netbook disk [21:29] Laibsch: Ubuntu Remix is an alternative set of available packages. [21:29] jophish: is the nfs share on the same network ie. local file server [21:30] bullgard, "@" in ls -F = symbolic link. the info page explains, but the man page does not. [21:30] tlyu: Thank you very much for your help. [21:31] bullgard: are they recompiled any differently than the "normal" packages? for example, is the firefox package any different in UNR than in normal Ubuntu? [21:31] Laibsch: nope but branding may differ [21:31] My gedit is double spacing lines. How can I stop this? [21:31] OK [21:32] aeon-ltd, at the moment I am fine mounting the nfs share from inside the lan, but I want to extend this to allowing me to access the files from the internet [21:32] jophish: as long as ufw or iptables are set to accept incoming connections from your ip then i don't see why this isn't secure [21:33] jophish: *only accept incoming [21:33] I'm thinking about buying a hybrid netbook with ssd and hd. Space on the SSD would be at a premium and I'm thinking about installing a separate, slimmed-down linux on the SSD. And I want to have as much space remaining as possible on the SSD for real data. [21:33] this is for mounting the nfs share through a ssh tunnel right? [21:33] Anyone using a sata cd drive with ubuntu? I'm thinking about buying one, but i'm not sure about the support for them. [21:33] wouldn't the server see the nfs mount request come from its own ip then? [21:34] so I should put in /etc/exports a line dealing with localhost [21:34] jophish: damn you right soz my bad, but you can still limit ssh access [21:34] yeah, I was going to set up a user without the ability to run commands [21:35] . [21:35] is it possible to run webserver from NAS device? === root_ is now known as Guest72161 [21:39] I opened an ISO file and found several files inside, among them a 1.4GB .CAB file. Is this the file which contains the media I am looking for? [21:39] ulb: heu, the short answer would be yeah, but it sortof depends how you want to do it. its pretty specific for a generic support channel though [21:40] dsearle: my sata dvd burner works just fine [21:40] acicula: ty, yeah just sort of thinking out loud [21:40] acicula: What drive have you got? [21:41] hello, having a bit of trouble getting my camera to work.. its a hitachi dz-mv230a. i looked it up and it appears support is only for windows/mac. i was wondering if there were more traditional ways of using your cam? [21:41] dsearle: dunno [21:41] dsearle: samsung something i think [21:41] meco: .cab are windows archives [21:41] dsearle: i cant fanthom why a sata drive would not work though [21:41] acicula: ty, Will have a shop arround :) [21:41] dsearle: at least not from any of the generic brands [21:41] Schui: camera or camcorder? [21:41] acicula: I've just read reports of people not being able to burn, etc.. [21:41] guntbert: Yeah, but they can be opened like any arhcive can't they? === jon is now known as Guest15994 [21:42] scunizi, its a camcorder - dvd cam [21:42] dsearle: well i havent tried that, i think [21:42] Schui: and dv output? [21:42] meco: just try - I have no idea [21:42] Does anyone know how I can open a .cab archive? [21:43] scunizi, it has a usb connection to the pc [21:43] meco: with cabextract [21:43] acicula: nice [21:43] meco: ? [21:44] acicula: appreciated [21:44] Schui: then you need to focus on mounting it as a usb device.. there may also be a setting in the camera for a couple different pc connection modes [21:45] OK, it seems that sshfs is the best way to do this, (leave nfs out of this). Is there any way in which I can get sshfs to only access one directory with read only permissions? [21:45] scunizi, how would i mount it as a usb device? [21:47] Schui: sorry i have to leave that for others [21:47] scunizi, np lol [21:47] jophish: well sshfs uses sftp/scp or an ssh session under the hood, so you have the same permissions as the user you login as [21:47] acicula: After I installed cabextract using Synaptic I clicked on the .cab archive and got an error message saying that no application is installed for this file type. Any suggestion? [21:48] meco: probably fileroller doesnt understand cabextract [21:48] My gedit is double spacing lines. How can I stop this? [21:48] meco: wield the console ;) [21:48] so I need to set sshfs to only allow an unprivileged user login from 192.168.0.1 (my router) [21:49] is it possible to limit a user to only being able to see /data/music, and have no write permissions there [21:49] jophish: apparmor maybe [21:49] jophish: make it read only for him [21:49] jophish: or create a user which only has permissions for those directories? [21:50] That's possible? [21:50] jophish: not easily, but it can be done [21:50] !permisions | jophish [21:50] !permision | jophish [21:50] о [21:50] If I change a keyboard layout (in an editor), do I have to restart X for it to take effect? [21:50] so is there a piece of software or something i could use to get my cam to work? i plug it in and it's not detected... it's a hitachi dz-mv230a camcorder.. should i just make a new post to the forums? [21:50] !permissions | jophish [21:50] jophish: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [21:50] well the user must have a a username/passwd, doesnt need to be able to actually start a shell (maybe?) [21:50] the thing is, that the directory is read, write for everyone. at the moment it's mounted just form the lan, with trusted users [21:50] !webcam > Schui [21:51] Schui, please see my private message [21:51] Trek: ty [21:51] Schui: also gstreamer-properties, do you get any output there?

[21:52] acicula, yes. it gets like 5 lines of "Skipping unavailable plugin" and then it opens up a window [21:53] Schui: check the linked webpage for any solutions [21:53] Is it possible to copy a file so I can access it from Windows XP? [21:53] meco: copy it to the windows partition? [21:53] meco: sure, mount your windows partition [21:53] so the file permissions are "-rwxrw-rw- 1 root root" for every file, any way to limit this dumb user another way? [21:54] What is two finger scrolling ? [21:54] jophish: yeah not make it writeable for world would be a good start ;) [21:54] DVA5912: one finger on the touchpad and one one the screen :)? [21:54] meco: yes, copy it to a separate FAT16 partition [21:54] acicula, its not a webcam, would that matter? [21:54] Schui: yeah [21:54] DVA5912: its for touchscreens i think [21:54] acicula, there is an option for two finger scrolling in thouchpad settings [21:54] aohh [21:55] What app is comparable to Windows Explorer in Ubuntu? [21:55] DVA5912: oh then i dont know [21:55] meco: nautilus [21:55] acicula, at the moment its accessed by several people over a lan, who all need rw permissions. that seemed to be the only way of doing that, letting "others" have rw access [21:55] Schui: erm is it a camera on a stick with a usb connector or is it a camera with interated storage [21:56] I think I have nautilus installed, but I cannot see it in the menus. Suggestions? [21:56] Schui: if the latter then you may not be able to directly access the video input [21:56] acicula, its a hand held video recorder, it uses dvd rw's for storage [21:56] Schui: does it show up as a storage device? [21:56] meco, go to places, in the top left [21:56] Right [21:56] between applicationa and system [21:56] acicula, nothing shows up. it's possible i'm doing something wrong when connecting tho [21:56] Schui: for the direct video access part, ie watch what the camera is seeing right now it will be treated as a webcam [21:57] Schui: well its usb or firewire, not much to do wrong there [21:57] Schui: remove any hubs to make sure just in case [21:57] acicula, to elaborate, if i plug in the usb cord when camera is off, nothing happens at all. but if i plug it in when the camera is on, it goes into some kind of "thinking" mode, and then goes blank [21:58] Schui: well probably because the kernel is trying to figure out what the new usb device is\ [21:58] and then decides : idunno [21:58] you can type dmesg on a console and see some status messages about that [21:58] acicula, probably lol === ryaxnb is now known as sakurai === sakurai is now known as ryaxng [21:59] acicula, dmesg comes up with tons of stuff :S [21:59] Schui: thats normal [22:00] prolly just want the last 10-15 linesa [22:00] acicula, none of it means anything to me tho.. would you like to see it? === ryaxng is now known as ryaxnb [22:00] Schui: yeah slap it on pastebin [22:01] Schui: you want to be able to use it as a webcam or? [22:01] acicula, i just want to get stuff off the cam onto th epc [22:02] Linux phong 2.6.31-17-generic #54-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 10 16:20:31 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux [22:02] Can I run Windows under Ubuntu if I install Wine, and do I use Synaptic to do that? [22:02] so view it as a storage [22:02] !virtualizers | meco [22:02] meco: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [22:02] Schui: is there a mode you can set on the camera so that it maybe shows up as a disk, ie pc sync mode or something to that extend? [22:02] meco - what app do u need windows for? [22:03] elyos: It's a game I just downloaded [22:03] acicula, possibly. there's no buttons i can see for that but there is options available in the camera settings, i can look [22:03] meco you wont want to run a game in a virtualmachine [22:03] meco your only viable option IS wine in that case [22:04] meco and most of the time it's an EPIC phail [22:04] meco: Wine emulates a windows environment to run windows programs in, A vitualizer emulates a pc to run windows in to run windos apps in [22:04] elyos: OK. Is that a simple thing to get going (for a newbie)? [22:04] anyone know where to look for how to sync Alcatel OT-708 with ubuntu? [22:04] meco: sucess variers, look on winehq site to see if particula apps work [22:04] noscript is maddening, having to approve everything constantly.. is there a way to just get firefox to only run scripts on pages IM ACTUALLY LOOKING AT ? [22:05] acicula, wow, i figured it out.... you can just put the mini-dvd in the comp >_< [22:05] acicula, im an idiot lol. thanks for your help man [22:05] kermit: that's why i can never put up with it myself. i think it's the only option, unless you get someones "safe list" [22:05] meco: you'll have to google it, there's tutorials, but you can just use the one in the package manager to be easy. but sometimes the newer beta has better support for newer windows apps [22:05] My gedit is double spacing lines. How can I stop this? [22:06] daftykins: its amazing someone would invent such a convoluted method, and the flash blocker thing too.. rather than just 'run things im looking at and not things im not' [22:06] Lostinspace_46: use vi [22:06] daftykins: the pdf on wear leveling answered my question, thanks [22:06] I think I shall boot Windows to see if I want to invest much time playing that game, otherwise I should wait getting my feet totally wet until I really need to... [22:07] meco good idea, linux gets the user away from gaming and on to real work in general :) [22:07] why does networkmanager in (k)ubuntu ALWAYS revert to "auto eth0" (DHCP)? i want to use a static ip, and i want it to stick, and this is BS. why should end users have to edit /etc/network/interfaces? [22:07] kermit: cool :) yeah sometimes i think the best solution is to have two FF installs, one with noscript and adblock blocking everything, then another that you paste links you just want to see into :> [22:07] elyos: Hehe... I've been on the right path for years then :-) [22:08] jschall: in gnome the network settings utility lets you keep network manager but specify a static config. [22:08] i'm sure KDE has the same. [22:08] blakkheim> Might try that, never used it. [22:10] hi. I just upgraded to Ubuntu 9.10. In the new sound settings manager my card is not displayed and I don't have sound (Realtek ALC660), but speaker-test is working and my card is displayed in alsamixer! [22:11] How can I delete a file that was created with a sudo command? [22:11] (using nautilus) [22:11] @meco: go to terminal and run sudo nautilus [22:12] lumox: OK [22:12] meco: no [22:12] meco, techincally you should be using "gksu nautilus" [22:12] !gksudo | meco lumox [22:12] meco lumox: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [22:12] meco: lumox actually, use gksudo for gui apps [22:12] meco: sudo rm file [22:12] lumox: sorry to second guess but it'd be best advised to hit alt+f2 and run "gksudo nautilus" for safety's sake [22:13] ok all [22:15] I just upgraded to Ubuntu 9.10. In the new sound settings manager my card is not displayed and I don't have sound (Realtek ALC660), but speaker-test is working and my card is displayed in alsamixer!

My routing tables on my server are screwed up (http://pastebin.com/m4872da42) and I can't fix them. Data that should be going through eth0 is going through eth1 for some reason. [22:20] @xguru: the problem is that the card is not displayed in ubuntus sound settings (only a "dummy-card") [22:20] ANY help would be appreciated. [22:20] When I opened nautilus using gksudo my dekstop was empty, so I guess that the error message which I pasted explains what is the probem. [22:20] hmm.. [22:21] How can I get help about glade/gtk ? [22:21] DJCharlie: default 192.168.254.1 0.0.0.0 UG 100 0 0 eth0 [22:21] DJCharlie: default 192.168.254.254 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 [22:21] your default gw/route is set to eth0 [22:22] not sure why its in there twice either? [22:22] lumox: i have a feeling it may be some config in your /home folder left on from the previous version [22:22] DJCharlie: delete those and readd a default route to the right gw on eth1? [22:22] acicula: How? [22:22] @daftykins: possible, which files may i delete? [22:23] lumox: that's the part i'm stuck on :D just fiddling now [22:23] In Glade3, how can I create an Image widget with a png/jpg file? I don't know how to create a GdkImage it needs... [22:23] @daftykins: what about ~/.pulse [22:23] DJCharlie: route del and then the rules you want to remove [22:23] route add to readd them [22:23] lumox: pulseaudio is config'd in ~/.pulse and ~/.pulse-cookie ,try moving those to .pulseold and .pulse-cookieold [22:23] ye ;) [22:23] just booted my VM to check :P [22:24] lumox: i have a feeling those might have nothing to do with the GUI apps mind, but worth a shot [22:24] acicula: SIOCDELRT: No such process [22:24] lumox: what is selected under the output tab? [22:24] DJCharlie: use sudo [22:24] acicula: That's what I get when I try route del ANYTHING. [22:24] wierd [22:25] acicula: That's with sudo route del [22:25] well anything has to match a specific rule i think [22:25] deleting routes can be a little finicky [22:25] acicula: Example: sudo route del default zuul [22:26] DJCharlie: cant fix it by restarting the network configurations, since it appearantly worked before and was configured? [22:26] acicula: That was the first thing I tried. [22:26] DJCharlie: i think you have to add the device as well to the del ? [22:26] eth0 is a direct connection to the net. eth1 is to my home lan (for samba) [22:27] DJCharlie: oh [22:27] then you probably want eth0 as the default gw route [22:27] acicula: Exactly. [22:27] DJCharlie: you tried checking the interfaces file then just rebooting? [22:27] DJCharlie: you want to delete zuul though? [22:27] to clear those odd routes. [22:27] daftykins: Several times. [22:28] heh so that weird 'zuul' comes from nowhere? [22:28] acicula: I want to set it back up so all outside data goes through eth0 (web server, shoutcast, etc) [22:28] well you have a default route on eth0 to two different gateways, and one that goes back [22:28] daftykins: zuul is my firewall on eth1. [22:28] hmm.. anyone else having problems joining #ubuntu? I ended up in #ubuntu-unregged [22:28] a different comp? [22:29] daftykins: Yes. [22:29] Slart: due to teh spam only reg'd users can join now [22:29] Slart: probably because of the spam attacks [22:29] Is there any way to clear ALL route? [22:29] daftykins, maco: ahh... well.. I can live with that.. thanks [22:29] hi, I am trying to install Ubuntu but I don't want all the massive junk it comes with. What's the best way to create an ubuntu install that has basically nothing? [22:30] hi [22:30] !minimal | pen16 [22:30] pen16: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [22:30] bringing down the interfaces might remove the rules asociated with it? [22:30] thanks [22:30] pen16: I don't think it gets any smaller than that [22:30] dont do this if you'r logged in remotely though :) [22:30] DJCharlie: not that i know of. looks weird that you're getting 254.254 when that'd be of no use at all. [22:30] cool [22:30] DJCharlie: have a look at man route [22:31] acicula: And when they come back up, the rules are there again. [22:32] I'm creating a toolbar with my own icons using glade3. But I need to give a file with a GdkPixBuf and I just have png files. What can I do? [22:32] iceroot: Did that, and I can't get it to delete the routes. [22:33] DJCharlie: hm, i thought "del" is working for it but never tried [22:33] iceroot: All that gives me is SIOCDELRT: No such process [22:33] I've a laptop and a desktop pc. I also have an external 500gb hd. How can I backup them without having duplicated files on the hd and without having desktop files on the laptop (and viceversa)? [22:34] DJCharlie: with sudo? [22:34] iceroot: Yes, with sudo. [22:34] [22:35] DJCharlie: can you pastebin your interfaces file? [22:36] daftykins: http://pastebin.com/m49832994 [22:36] And here's my ifconfig: http://pastebin.com/m1bbeab21 [22:38] mementomori: you want to backup your stuff on both the desktop and the laptop? and keep the backups on the external drive? but for files that exist on both computers you don't want to store two copies? [22:38] DJCharlie: so your network goes how? cable -> eth0 of PC, eth1 of PC <-> firewall ? [22:38] my netbook running ubuntu always has a hardtime seeing my internal network when i turn on my netbook. my ubuntu laptop doesn't though. any idea why this might be? [22:38] daftykins: Close, but not quite. [22:38] ok :) [22:38] daftykins: DSL -> eth0 of PC. [22:39] Slart, more or less [22:39] daftykins: Then we have Firewall -> LAN -> eth1 of PC [22:39] eth0 is a dedicated connection for the server. [22:39] eth1 is for access from my lan. [22:39] Slart, I dont want to backup on the "clients". I want to backup directly on the hd [22:40] mementomori: you could probably do it using rsync...but it will take some work.. it would be much easier if you didn't mind having some files twice [22:40] DJCharlie: ooh-err, bit more complex than i can follow, what's the route of a packet out to the Internet from a client PC then? [22:40] i don't quite get how the firewall PC + this router one connect [22:41] daftykins: That would be: client pc -> Firewall -> outside [22:41] daftykins: The ONLY thing eth1 should connect to is the local lan. it shouldn't be using the firewall. [22:42] mementomori: you could also just run the two separate backups and try to find identical files on the external drive and symlink those.. there has to be a utility that does that in the repos [22:42] When ever i startuo i have no sound and have to enable it in alsa mixer , Whats the fix? [22:43] Slart, your second idea looks promising [22:43] DJCharlie: hmm that's not how i'd do it, i'd just have the one machine with two interfaces firewall'ing and routing. don't see the need for two separate subnets [22:43] so ubuntu 9.10's and 10.4's (current) gparted does not grok my osx 10.6 hfs+ partition on an external drive, should I try a gparted livecd? (dev) [22:44] daftykins: This system is a server for kjsr.net's streaming feed. We have a dedicated DSL connection for it on eth0. [22:44] daftykins: eth1 is just for local access to the shared drives. [22:45] sevenseeker: for many filesystms that are not linux 'standard' you need to have installed some extra support tools for gparted to properly do things with them. No idea if this is the case for HFS+ [22:45] sevenseeker: but it is the case for ntfs [22:46] can you download a multi-boot dvd with both ubuntu and kubuntu on it? [22:46] DJCharlie: ok sorry i don't really follow well enough to help. if i wanted to get rid of those routes though i'd either reinstall the OS or backup and delete interfaces to try from scratch [22:46] daftykins: Way too drastic. [22:46] Dr_Willis: yeah I was afraid of that, because I installed everything even remotely related to hfs available, no dice [22:46] thanks [22:49] Excuse me, I am running ubuntu and when trying to create a new window in my screen session I get fork: Cannot allocate memory [22:49] KinkyKamikaze: means you are out of memory [22:49] How do I release some or "purge" as it is called in OS X.

This player is being used for more and more interactive web content, and I think it would be great if this content would also be available to Unity users. The main reason that Unity isn't officially supported [22:55] on Linux is because they don't realize that there ARE Linux users who want to see Unity on their platform. The URL to the voting page is http://feedback.unity3d.com/forums/15792-unity/suggestions/164961 [22:55] aliendude3500: not the right place to ask [22:55] !ot | aliendude3500 [22:55] aliendude3500: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[23:01] ner0x: tell your router to assign the same ip, or use a fixed ip on the computer [23:01] ner0x: you can not; you can disable dhcp and use static ip's though [23:01] erUSUL: I think that's the route I'd like to take. [23:02] ner0x: most sane DHCP server implementations hand out the same ip to the same computer (if it's available and so on).. I think most use the MAC address to remember the computer.. not sure what you mean by MAC filter though [23:02] hey, is there any way to tell the text mode installer i don't have a cdrom so it shouldn't look for one? i'm trying to do a ubuntu 9.10 server install off a usb stick. [23:02] Slart: Checking the MAC address and assigning the IP address accordingly. [23:03] How can I stop using DHCP,first off? [23:03] ner0x: the thing is if you do not want to use a MAC<-->IP assignemet you rule out the only way a dhcp server can assing you a deterministic ip address [23:03] daftykins: Got the routing fixed, I think... But web is still down. [23:03] ner0x: hmm.. it all depends on the dhcp server.. some implements a parameter you can send ... apart from that I don't know.. [23:04] ner0x: disable it in your router? (keep in mind dhcp may be giving you more than the ip; dns servers for instance) [23:04] ner0x: what is wrong with using the MAC-address to match against previous ip leases? [23:05] Hi I have a bit of a problem... my mouse just stopped to work (I tried on 3 different computer...) I was wondering if there was a way to use a joypad as a mouse for the time I get a new mouse (all stores are closed right now...) [23:05] ner0x: there is no option other than static DHCP leases on the router web interface. [23:05] well, unless you have an OS the supports asking for the same one every time via DHCP which OS X seems to have. [23:05] s/the/that/ [23:06] infid: ubuntu uses pam yes [23:06] Hinata: have you tried using the Mouse Keys feature? it's in System, preferences, keyboard [23:06] Hi... anyone able to recommend a good guide on setting up lirc in Ubuntu 9.10? [23:07] Slart: how do I do that w/o a mouse? [23:07] Slart: I need it to be a specific IP address. [23:07] Hinata: I think that lets you use the numeric keypad to control the mouse pointer.. it's not very practical.. but it might get you through the weekend [23:07] Hinata: ah.. tricky.. didn't think of that =) let me see if I can find an alternative way of enabling that [23:07] anyone did windows 7 image with clonezilla ? [23:08] sa000, yup [23:08] Hinata: Alt+F1 to get the menu then cursor keys to navigate [23:08] oh that's brilliant [23:08] duffydack: any doc [23:09] Hinata: you're not a Naruto fan are you? ;) [23:09] duffydack: i neverd used clonezilla before [23:09] sa000, clonezilla.org [23:09] i know this website [23:09] h it worked [23:09] daftykins: no I'm not [23:09] i m looking for doc that specially related to windows 7 cloning [23:09] Hinata: ahh.. CTRL+SHIFT+NUMLOCK enables the mouse keys [23:10] that worked it's wonderfull ^ ^ [23:10] though I'de be curious to know what emulated the right click [23:11] sa000, it does win7 and linux the same. [23:11] sa000, just images it..with mbr and other stuff [23:12] ok [23:12] yay got it working at last :-) [23:14] Hi. Can someone give me a technical reason or any reason really, why NTFS drives tend to not be mounted by default in many linux distros, including the Dual boot user friendly Ubuntu? [23:14] Kentrel: NTFS functionality isn't 100% so it's best to not have people accidentally corrupt their NTFS volumes. [23:14] Hinata: / * - selects which mouse button to "operate".. left, middle, right .. pressing 5 presses the selected button [23:15] how do I do that [23:17] dafty, I see. that makes sense. Thanks [23:17] Slart: oh thanks [23:19] So how do I get ubuntu to mount them without asking for a password anytime. I have a password at login - thats the only security I need for my drives [23:19] Kentrel: edit /etc/fstab [23:20] k [23:20] !ntfs | Kentrel [23:20] Kentrel: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [23:20] does anyone here know of a good channel to ask about gnu mailman? [23:20] thanks [23:21] Slart, daftykins well many thanks you just saved my day ^ ^ [23:21] Hinata: you're welcome [23:23] Kentrel: in fstab it should be a line like "[/dev/sda1] [/media/something] ntfs[-3g] user,defaults 0 0" the parts between [ ] unsure [23:23] Hi [23:24] does anyone here know of a good channel to ask about gnu mailman? [23:25] #gnu ? [23:26] Kentrel: I thought about maybe suggesting that :D [23:26] Hi, how can I open a terminal with a script and leave it open after the script exists? [23:26] wolter: run "exec bash" as the last command ? [23:27] erUSUL, i do but gnome-terminal closes either way [23:28] erUSUL, or doesn't give the $ and stays blank [23:29] erUSUL: if ubuntu uses pam why does /etc/ssh_config not say anything about PAM, but does say things about GSSAPI? [23:29] wolter: Does this help? http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1174884.html [23:29] infid: check sshd_config [23:29] why would the client config know anything about PAM ? [23:30] I am having trouble connecting via SSH to a remote server. I get a ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host error [23:30] infid: ubuntu != openssh server [23:30] /who #ubuntu-men [23:30] erUSUL: thanks [23:30] Helsinkiii: ssh -v ? [23:30] blakkheim: thanks [23:30] infid: i was refering to the login process to the system [23:30] ardchoille, thanks :) [23:30] infid: /etc/pam.conf /etc/pam.d/* etc ... [23:30] i understand now [23:30] wolter: yw :) [23:30] linxeh: i got some debug1: lines and same error at the end [23:31] linxeh: stuff like identity file /home/amoskovitz/.ssh/id_rsa type -1 [23:35] I see that munin was finally accepted to be updated to 1.4.3 on the 20th. Is there an "incoming" directory at ubuntu like debian. I need munin 1.4.x [23:36] hi is there any Great AUDIO CONVERTER ? [23:36] stopmv: ffmpeg [23:36] anyone know a way to list all *available* filesystems from the command line? SystemRescueCD has something, it outputs something like [ /dev/sda1 ] [ ntfs ] [ Disk Label ] [ 120.0 GB ] [23:37] fs Ademan [23:37] Luser: I don't think ubuntu updates packages unless there is a security issue [23:37] Blakkeim does it have GUI [23:37] stopmv: no, you don't need one [23:38] im sure i need one =) [23:38] Luser: there are some extra repos you can enable in the software sources dialog.. "proposed" is one.. I don't remember what the others are called.. I wouldn't recommend enabling these just for one package though [23:38] stopmv: sudo aptitude install ffmpeg; man ffmpeg [23:38] Ademan: df? [23:38] Slart, no, 1.2.x is not used anymore. and it's not compatible with 1.4.x and that's what I use on my debian. so my ubuntu and debian can not exchange munin data [23:38] stopmv: im sure audacity can but its more of a sound editor then converter , though im sure it does it well [23:38] Slart: doesn't that only show mounted ones? [23:39] Slart, is lucid the equivalent of sid? [23:39] unstable [23:39] acicula: better than commands ty [23:39] Ademan: ah... yes..not really sure what to use then [23:39] Luser: nope.. ubuntu doesn't use rolling updates like that [23:39] marcuy: i don't see anything that looks like what i want, two i don't know what they do though so i'll check their man pages [23:39] Luser: lucid is the next version though.. it will be released in april [23:39] !lucid | Luser [23:39] Luser: Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 2010 - Lucid is NOT released and is NOT stable - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [23:39] lucid is the equivalent of might kill your dog [23:40] Ademan: this would be the better solution [23:40] karmic and lucid are great adjectives [23:40] A+ [23:40] !info munin [23:40] munin (source: munin): network-wide graphing framework (grapher/gatherer).

[23:45] Just a minute ago i had 1600x1200, I reset and now my max is 1152x864 [23:45] Ruge: have a look at your /var/log/Xorg.0.log . It has information about why a certain mode was chosen [23:45] Slart: Oh cool thanks. Its just strange that at certain times I can get certain resolutions. [23:46] Ruge: indeed.. and they say computers are consistent =) [23:46] My computer is not meant to be temperamental! [23:46] ;-) [23:47] I gave up trying to use IIRC and am relying on a graphical client, at least I can see what is going on now :-) [23:47] mick__: try irssi [23:47] I like xChat [23:48] I tried Xchat, cant see all the names as it scrolls off screen [23:48] really? [23:48] i will try irssi as per suggestion for now using the mozlilla one [23:48] i think its xchat, you have to click the button to see the list of names [23:48] my xchat [23:48] has a nicklist on the right [23:49] xchat-gnome sorry [23:49] all i typed was "sudo apt-get install xchat" [23:49] is what i installed :-( [23:49] and i got this xchat with the nicklist on the right [23:49] i tried to be clever..note the use of the word tried [23:49] i <3 xchat-gnome [23:49] and did a "sudo apt-get install xchat-gnome" [23:49] the xchat I previously used had the button nicklist which i despised. [23:49] i prefer the nicklist to the right, so give that a whirl [23:49] Slart, in fact in was only uploaded on the 14th of January in debian. [23:50] thats the one i installed ruge lol [23:50] is there any compression software like winzip, 7zip, winrar, etc in ubuntu? [23:50] the most hackable client is irssi [23:50] yup sure is xim! [23:50] and its dead easy! [23:50] mick__ o rly? but our clients look different! [23:50] i will try irssi, is it a graphical client marcuy? [23:50] xim_: lots.. there is a gui app called "file-roller" for gnome.. then there's lots of command line stuff [23:50] mick__, i hope its not TOO easy, the one that comes with ubuntu is so easy it doesnt work ;p [23:50] Slart, ok ill try that one! [23:50] lol [23:50] marcuy: got some documentation on that? just curious [23:51] how to execute 2 commands with nohup? [23:51] console based mick__ [23:51] sleep 1; sleep 2; [23:51] marcuy: or .. you meant.. hackable = customizable? [23:51] I hope so [23:52] Slart: gui based are not so customizable like irssi [23:52] using chatzilla with firefox for now [23:52] sure Slart, i guess it wasn't the most accurate term to say that ;) [23:52] Slart, does i have fileroller already, do i have to manually create an icon for it or is it in some place in the applications menu i cant find? [23:52] hey my first few sentences on irc so give me a break for now lol [23:52] marcuy: hehe.. for a second I thought you meant that irssi had security problems =) [23:53] it does [23:53] Slart: hah sorry didn't want to mean that, at least I hadn't found anyone yet! ;) [23:53] its insecure about the future of mIRC [23:53] xim_: it's in the accessories menu.. but it's hidden for some reason.. if you go to system, preferences, Main Menu you can unhide it.. it's called Archive Manager [23:53] lol linxeh [23:54] xim_: it is better to call it and/or use it from the file manager context menus [23:54] erUSUL, it doesnt show from there like it should [23:54] i never thought about the fact it was hidden till just now and being using gnu-linux since redhat 4 [23:55] Slart, thanks i didnt know things were hidden like that [23:55] its amazing what you learn you dont know by someone asking simple questions isnt it? === Mowee`Bnc is now known as Mowee [23:55] oh by redhat 4, i dont mean RHEL 4, i mean Redhat 4.2 way back when [23:55] xim_: I was a bit surprised as well.. well.. there it is.. if you want rar-support you'll have to install the rar libraries [23:55] !rar | xim_ [23:55] xim_: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [23:56] I am looking forward to the classrooms tomorrow [23:56] !amsn | marcuy [23:56] thats why i said i would come on here tonight to make sure I knew what i was doing for tomorrow :-) [23:56] a +1 for unrar for me [23:57] i prefer rar -x it's preinstalled [23:57] mick__: redhat 4, or rhel4 ? :) [23:57] non windows user here by choice, at w**k/paid employment have to use it though [23:57] redhat 4 linuxeh [23:57] mick__: :) [23:57] as in back in 95 or so [23:57] lol [23:57] later than that I fear [23:57] mick__, Why such an old version? [23:58] edbian: duh, new versions hadnt been written 10 years ago ? [23:58] no no, thats where i started to use linux!!! [23:58] mick__: SLS here, then Slackware [23:58] not what i am using now :) [23:58] wow!! [23:58] yup remember slackware fondly too :) [23:58] why can it only split files in 7zip or rar format? [23:58] why can what only split them xim? [23:58] xim_: what format do you want? [23:59] xim_: becouse only those formats support splitting natively [23:59] i could have swarn ive been splitting zip files in windows for years...? [23:59] xim_: you have [23:59] I have a 5 year old niece in Ireland using edubuntu on a cheap netbook, and 65 year old parents using kubuntu but with kde 3.5 as their main desktop
