For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [00:48] hey skeelol [00:48] the mousepad did not work with 9.04 UNR on Asus Eee PC 1005HAB does 9.10 fix that?

[00:49] it goes all distored and just freezes.. weird. [00:49] Joke_: on boot up? [00:50] yes [00:50] Joke_: but you can access the folders using the live cd? [00:50] Yes I can. [00:50] lpSe_DiXit: I think the hdd is spinning, even it isn't mounted, so some heat may issue [00:50] Joke_: sounds like maybe your Xserver is bunked maybe? [00:50] Could be. [00:50] Hello, can udev safely be killed to use a script (makedev)? [00:51] I want to write a dvd via packet writing, but a module named pktcdvd is missing. I already installed the udftools package. Any idea? [00:52] i'm in ubuntu karmic and my hp dv6-1350sl, when i plug the hearphones, don't stop the audio from speakers [00:52] how can i set windows like? [00:52] lein: i think it is safe to stop it using something like "sudo service udev stop" [00:53] HEY [00:53] Mayve we couuld repair it/ [00:53] I'm trying to use dual boot XP/ Ubuntu. I have 500gb drive, set xp partition to 400gb and rest for ubuntu. [00:53] I installed ubuntu and chose 'use largest available space'. I understand this wasn't the way to go [00:53] because it didn't install grub to allow for dual boot. How should I go about reinstalling ubuntu? [00:53] Matthew11: have you tried adding it to /etc/modules so it loads at boot time as listed... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=293255 [00:54] dj_segfault do an iptables -L might have to sudo it [00:54] Do u know how? [00:54] krabador: I can't offer a solution but I can tell you I've seen that before. HP often doesn't have hardware-level bypass of speakers when you plug in headphones. It's done in software. [00:54] hi, how can i close a socket that remains opened when i kill his process? [00:54] skeelol: use windows disk management to nuke the partitions then boot off liveCD and start again [00:54] thats exactly what i figured hehe [00:54] Billiard: ty i'll give it a try [00:54] Gstar: OK. I'm doing client and server on same machine, though. What am I looking for in output? [00:55] but when reinstalling, if i choose install side by side, will it still use the unpartitioned free space ? [00:55] faftykins: There isn't any module on my system named pktcdvd [00:55] dj_segfault, i've no way to stop the audio from speakers when i plug the headphones? [00:55] dj_segfault just paste bin it shouldnt stop it from starting but just incase [00:55] *daftykins [00:55] Joke_: working on it [00:55] Ohh, you are, sorry ^^ [00:56] dj are you using app armour or similar? [00:56] dj_segfault, no kind of alsa mod? [00:56] skeelol: i would manually set up the partitions during install so you know exactly how it is going to be set up, you can ask if you have questions about that [00:56] is there an alternitive program to makedev that will run if udev is installed? [00:56] krabador: I think there's a solution. I'm just telling you (1) It's not just you and (2) it takes software. [00:57] or a way to make makedev work with udev installed? [00:57] Joke_: just curious - what did you change that caused it not to work? [00:57] lein: what are you trying to do with makedev? [00:57] skeelol: i'd just choose manual during install [00:58] Um, i went to repair graphics... then it stopped working. [00:58] Gstar: iptables still dumping. I didn't forget you. BTW, I usually use firestarter to configure firewall, if that matters. [00:58] Billiard: make sda4 (wife deleted it on her netbook) [00:58] lein: deleted it how? [00:59] lein: if she deleted the partition, you need to repartion it [00:59] heya everyone. [00:59] partition* === aperson is now known as APERSON === SkinnyWeeabo is now known as FamousAuthor [00:59] Billiard: she said she just went to /dev and typed rm sda4 [01:00] Gstar: Is the fact that iptables -L is still dumping out indicative of a problem itself? [01:00] Joke_: what do you mean "repaired" graphics? [01:00] does 9.10 have xchat on the livecd where skeelol can boot into the install and ask questions about partitioning here [01:00] lein: restarting should fix that i would think, does "sudo fdisk /dev/sda -l" show sda4 ? [01:00] Billiard: the partition is still there but she messed up the partion size and wrong fs type [01:00] dj probably not just means you have alot of rules probably [01:01] you know how under ubuntu it has repair or something in grub... i opened it and saw the option: correct grpahic error or something [01:01] dj do a /etc/init.d/mysql status if you can === FamousAuthor is now known as Bwaah [01:01] Joke_: cd to your original /etc/X11 and see if there is a backup [01:01] Billiard: sure dose. lol didn [01:01] Billiard: didn't think of that [01:02] greetings Ubuntu channel [01:02] !hi [01:02] Hi!

I saw the problem at a Linux Installfest and our research at the time showed others having that problem, but it was long enough ago I don't remember what the solution was, if any. Only that they're the only ones that don't use the pins in the headphone jack to physically disconnect the speakers AFAIK. [01:15] helper: look at cacti [01:15] Billiard, "-rw------- 1 root root 7597 2010-01-23 00:26 /home/steve/.ICEauthority" [01:15] Did u see what I wrote? I think it found it.

It takes the video and plays it as ASCII code.. [01:26] Joke_: np... sounds to me like your xorg.conf file has the wrong settings in it now... if there is a backup then you just copy that over and log out [01:26] jongbergs: sure, you can use framebuffer if you want [01:26] jrib, Billard, when i try to run certain pages it tells me java script or adobe needs to be installed... but it won't install them. if i search flash apps in synaptic package manager and apply everything there it doesn't solve the problem [01:26] Joke_: log in and you should be back, or in this case reboot out of live cd [01:26] Can someone help me with Intel Linux driver issues? [01:26] so what do i do after I log off? [01:27] Joke_: well after you copy the backup to your xorg.conf file you reboot and that should do it...

It was suggested to use fsck, but as I see it this won't help convince the SMART chip on the drive it should try them again. Any ideas? [01:36] can someone please help me update my kernel to support my wacom bamboo tablet? i need someone who can walk me through it step by step. I've already downloaded the drivers to do the update [01:36] jrib: ok i'll try that also..hope it works :) [01:36] how do i force install a 32bit application [01:36] jongbergs: it's nice and all, but I'll stick with X [01:37] ChrisMorgan fsck -f force the issue [01:37] And anyway, I haven't been able to get fsck to check my ext4 partition (/dev/sda5) - it's always mounted (even in recovery mode) and I don't really feel like risking its "SEVERE file system damage" or "busy" in the live CD for some reason [01:38] iflema: do I get a warranty from you that it won't break anything? :-) [01:38] Hi, I am running Debian Lenny, and I was having no troubles until I suddenly got a GRUB error 17. I read a bit online, it seems that my partition table is messed up, or possibly that one of my hd's is out. But without bash, I am struggling pretty badly. Can I fix this by popping in a live cd? How can I get command line back?

[02:18] WildAtheart: Uninstall *which* Everything mysql? [02:18] jrib: From the updater [02:19] hello how can i undo this command "sudo ufw allow proto tcp from 192.168.10.3 to 192.168.10.2 port 49200" [02:19] wildheart ask me the question [02:19] Ubuntu 9.10 netbook remix, eeepc 1000, I can connect to open wifi networks but my wep 128bit hidden network it keeps prompting me to enter my key and never connects.. HELP!!! === richard is now known as Guest340 [02:19] dj_segfault: were you using unofficial repositories or debs? [02:19] mkquist__: did you se? [02:19] evon: try searching in synaptic for every name below the kernel and dev [02:19] Drknzz LOL.../ somethings i need only to do once.. i dont always have time to learn.. cheaper to just pay someone [02:19] jrib: you have a link/ereference? In grub1 firstlogical always = 4 [02:19] jrib: Not that I know of, other than mutlimedia (dvd stuff) [02:19] evon: that may give u all headers u need [02:19] lizk: because counting started at 0 before, now it starts at 1 [02:19] eeepcwifi:are you using proprietary drivers? [02:20] WildAtheart: [02:20] jph_ you mean from my ./configure output? [02:20] eepcwifi: Try resetting your router. Just like, power off / power on [02:20] sharktooth: its a stock install just installed today [02:20] jrib: Trying to research which version of MySQL is needed for MythTV [02:20] Drknzz I do development for others.. and not always have enough time even for things i know how to do well [02:20] its not my router.. I tested it on windows and 2 iphones === matthew is now known as Guest42909 [02:20] its ubuntu [02:20] WildAtheart: Its pretty neat to know your way around stuff at all times, but if you do want to hire someone... [02:20] dj_segfault do you have data you are afraid to lose? [02:21] WildAtheart: you should go for paid canonical support [02:21] jrib: you are saying that no matter my partitioning, /dev/sdaX always equals hd0,X ? even with 1 primary 1 logical, /dev/sda3 = hd0,3 ? [02:21] eeepcwifi:go to the system|admin|hardware drivers , see if you can install another driver for your wireless card;it MIGHT help, ephasis on might [02:21] lizk: afaik, yes. [02:21] jokeem: yea i got it [02:21] hello how can i undo this command "sudo ufw allow proto tcp from 192.168.10.3 to 192.168.10.2 port 49200" [02:21] WildAtheart: It's backed up, but I would rather not lose it. Years of MythTV, wordpress, etc [02:21] is it possible to see what port an application is listening on ? [02:21] Drknzz nice if i do that is there a chance i might one accross you there? [02:21] does anyone know why the upgrade button on ubuntu fails [02:21] jrib: where is that info? I want to be REALLY sure b4 i potentialy hose it [02:21] jrib: I've just gone through the manual and haven't specifically found anything relating to scores [02:22] cp721: change allow for deny and thats it [02:22] lizk: how would you hose it? It would just fail to boot [02:22] mkquist__: k, did you find anything with either logs? [02:22] WildAtheart: Nope, but i bet those guys are nice :) [02:22] jrib: that would mean reinstall for me [02:22] drknzz: you mean from my ./configure output? [02:22] Drknzz yea they better be nice as much as they charge [02:22] evon: yup [02:22] hehe [02:22] drknzz: not finding any of them [02:22] sharktooth: if it matters it connects fine to open networks.. so are drivers the issue? [02:23] WildAtheart: Well, i hardly doubt they arent XD [02:23] lizk: add an extra entry in grub instead of deleting the working one, no? [02:23] iflema: it did the on-boot-fsck, still the same SMART complaint. I expect I'll just have to tell it to not warn me. [02:23] evon: weird, plz wait [02:23] evon I don't know... I have never had this problem before... I did a clean install of 9.10 and at install i used tasksel as provided in the installation wizard to install OpenSSH however for some unknown reason I didn't install LAMP at that time... no when entering sudo tasksel it only list three options not the long list as before [02:23] Alright guys, I have a USB game controller, and I want to use it as a media remote sort of deal on my computer. Anyone have any ideas? I think I am getting pretty close... I just need a little bump in the right dirrection [02:23] well i want to concentrate on getting the number 100% correct, rather than play guessing games [02:23] it says no propietary drivers are in use and it gives none in the list [02:23] jetpack google game controller to make sure its supported first [02:24] sharktooth: it says no propietary drivers are in use and it gives none in the list [02:24] eeepcwifi: with the right drivers can can do more, it is worth a try. I know monitor mode works with some drivers maybe the hidden net will work [02:24] eeepcwifi:what router are you using? [02:24] eeepcwifi: do other computers on the network connect right now? [02:24] evon: try installing this and see if configure tells xfree86 stuff is present: http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/libxxf86misc-dev [02:25] lizk: you would have figured it out already. The link I gave you earlier explains how the numbering works. There's also the official grub 2 docs I guess [02:25] sharktooth: wrt54gl jetpack: yes 1 windows and 2 iphones.. I also deleted and created the network on the iphone to make sure. The router is also new. [02:25] WildAtHeart: I have. It works flawlessly as a game controller. I am using Joy2Key to convert buttons to key presses, but I can't get it to act like my media keys [02:25] jrib: thing is (i'm using alternate i386) top says "configuration grub-pc" yet the instructions & examples are for old grub with wrong numbering [02:26] jetpack i am new to ubuntu.. not sure i can help you there.. [02:26] jrib: will it actualy do the correct thing given the corrct number? [02:26] ChrisMorgan did fsck complained about smart? [02:26] lizk: I don't understand what you just said. top of what? [02:26] iflema: it didn't complain about anything that I noticed [02:26] hi guys, i stupidly did do-release-upgrade from an ssh session which died, now there are some dpkg-reconfigure processes that are preventing me from re-running do-release-upgrade - is it safe to just kill them and restart? [02:26] I think I'm starting to see why Ubuntu wants to drop the gimp from future versions [02:26] jetpack: i have 1 windows, desktop ubuntu connected wired and 2 iphones connected wifi fine adn the router is 1 month old. [02:26] eeepcwifi: try disconnecting and reconnecting the router just in case, and also double check the passphrase. I have an older router that glitches up a lot [02:26] jrib: i'm using the alternate install disk, when promped to write grub to mrbr i decline, then next screen it ask me for hdx,x, gut gives old instructin for grub1 [02:27] lizk: what ubuntu version? [02:27] 9.10 [02:27] WildAtHeart: Eh. Thanks anyway. [02:27] K [02:27] * Callum_ scratches his hair over how to configure BIND [02:27] jetpack: I have done that. and I checked the passphrase with teh iphone cus I was second guessing myself cus it wouldnt connect. [02:27] lizk: I don't actually know if the alternate disk uses grub 2 or not [02:27] hyperstream: I think something like netstat -anp |grep processname [02:27] ciao [02:28] jrib: oh, that could make it different from live? it says "grub-pc" in title of that screen, grub-pc is grub2 no? [02:28] eeepcwifi: if you go into the routers config pages can you pull up a DHCP table? It should have the MAC and IP of everything connected. [02:28] evon any thoughts? [02:28] mkquist__: u htere? [02:28] lizk: I don't know. I suppose if that's true, it's very likely a bug already exists at bugs.ubuntu.com about it [02:29] jokeem: still here, i dont use radeon cards, so I'm not sure on their config - maybe someone using radeon gfx could lend a hand? [02:29] Do any of you guys have experience with Media Keys under Ubuntu? [02:29] serengeti, thansk mate [02:29] hyperstream, no worries :) [02:29] mkquist__: ok... i might just reinstall [02:29] so sick of linux [02:29] jetpack: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) [02:30] jokeem its not for everyone [02:30] jokeem: its worth the learning curve - imho [02:30] jph_ sorry that last message i wrote was not meant for you. I actually don't know anything about that stuff [02:30] anyone use radeon card can help maybe? === rainofkayos is now known as SolarisBoy [02:30] o [02:30] jrib: thing is this is my second install, first worked briefly then wouldn't boot after update grub said "file not found" [02:30] yeahh... [02:30] jrib: huh? I am new to irc. lol [02:30] lol, if you cant handle ubuntu then linux is definitely "not for you" [02:30] i enjoy linux - but it's too difficult... like all the commands. why so serious? [02:31] mkquist__ what's the problem? [02:31] jokeem: maybe dont make changes till your a little more sure of what they do [02:31] jetpack: irc netiquette is to just jump right in and ask your real question. Then if someone knows, they will try to help you [02:31] jokeem, wrong place to chuck a emo :) [02:31] mkquist__: lol pretty much [02:31] serengeti: he jokeem cant log into his linux [02:31] mkquist__ pity :p [02:31] jokeem you're probably better off not trying Slackware then [02:31] serengeti: was thinking his xorg got messed up [02:31] OpenOffice 3.1 (ppt) can not open presentation. Someone can help? [02:31] jokeem: you don't need to run a single command in ubuntu if you don't want to... [02:31] why ubuntu is that slow? [02:31] jokeem: jokeem try gentoo, it's super easy [02:31] u eventually do. [02:31] hahahaha [02:32] jokeem: like when? [02:32] @ gentoo [02:32] mkquist__ I'll look it up in the log and see if I can help [02:32] solaris will destroy linux eventually [02:32] they begun to sale [02:32] jrib: oh gotcha. Haha. I don't think my issue would fit on one line. [02:32] I tried installing 3 different distros (Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSUSE) on a laptop with a nvidia geforce card in order to find out if any would be able to suspend (sleep) the laptop.... Under the default installation of the three distros, only Fedora successfully suspended the laptop via the included pm-suspend utility from pm-utils and only Fedora, by default, installs the nouveau driver while the other two seem to install the 'vesa' driver [02:32] , by default. Is suspend likely to be working on Fedora exactly because of the nouveau driver? And does this mean, if I install the nouveau driver, it will work on Ubuntu also? [02:32] message i get is "Move background page assignment" [02:32] serengeti: thanx [02:32] =) atleast you know the truth [02:32] drknzz: new error this time http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m7e9f2e8b [02:32] solarisboy enjoy ur OS [02:32] eeepcwifi:I don't know if this will help but here you go;good luck! http://johnbokma.com/mexit/2007/12/29/my-linksys-wrt54gl-ubuntu-wireless-settings.html [02:32] ;> [02:32] i will [02:32] i'm having trouble installing onto my ps3 here's the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFBNmM1I_XM [02:32] it`s way better than Lunix [02:32] anyway i can get skipper passwords/ [02:32] jokeem: might wanna give serengeti a mo to look at your pastebin [02:32] evon: see my private messages? [02:32] jetpack: summarize it and a link with more details (logs, etc.) by using http://paste.ubuntu.com [02:32] jetpack: I have the dhcp list [02:32] I mean looser`s unix [02:32] and a list of installed programs [02:33] anyone have any thoughts on why tasksel will only show three things to install, really two that are installed and some manual package selection tool [02:33] mkquist__: ok. [02:33] drknzz: installed them already [02:33] well i actually prefer red hat based distros [02:33] but whos looking anyway huh =) [02:33] jetpack: but my netbook's mac does not show up in it [02:33] Dr_Willis: hey um does ubuntu sitll use grub legacy [02:33] linux sucks generally [02:33] gent00: let's stay on-topic please. [02:33] evon: i still need to give you more man, wait [02:33] i don't think solaris is user friendly enough to destroy linux lol gent00 [02:33] jrib: Sweet. thanks! will do. [02:33] gent00: nice channel for that [02:33] drknzz: lol ok thanks [02:33] well we should stop comparing an OS to a kernel first [02:33] jph_: did you also say apt-get update didn't work? [02:33] jokeem, I've always used ubuntu with Radeons so there's a small chance I can help [02:34] solaris is not comparible to linux [02:34] SolarisBoy: tru dat [02:34] eeepcwifi: Huh. I'm out of ideas then [02:34] jrib yes I did say that [02:34] yeah because solaris is way better [02:34] serengeti: awesome. [02:34] jph_: did you fix that? [02:34] jokeem: what was it you did again the got it futzed up? [02:34] i'm having trouble installing onto my ps3 here's the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFBNmM1I_XM [02:34] how can I emulate windows in ubuntu? I need to install MS Project and it cannot run with wine as far as I know [02:34] i saw solaris 10 [02:34] gent00: take the discussion elsewhere (last warning) [02:34] ok [02:34] Dr_Willis: I installed grub on a usbstick but the menu says version 1.97~beta4 [02:34] serengeti: well when i boot up, the ubuntu screen goes all distorted and freezes. [02:34] ta: virtualbox [02:34] i saw solaris 10 and i understood that Linux will die soon [02:34] jrib negative I bet they are related but I don't know where to start so i came here [02:35] mkquist__: thanks for all your help, appreciate it. [02:35] anything I should do to get the most out of my system after a fresh install? [02:35] give it a rest... [02:35] hehe [02:35] AIX is rather defensive these days... [02:35] jokeem: sry i couldnt get you back [02:35] sabgenton: that is the version # for grub2 in ubuntu 9.10 - yes... [02:35] gent00: what makes solaris 10 so special? [02:35] * sabgenton asks all: if I use grub-install on a drive will it install gurb 2? [02:35] Jetpack: I know it has to do with ubuntu and connecting to a hidden wep 128bit.. some part of that doesn't work. cus it can connect fine to an open netowrk and my router is definately not the issue 2 other os's connect fine wifi and my wifi printer connects fine to it as well. [02:35] Dr_Willis: ah [02:35] mkquist__: no worries [02:35] jokeem, can you see the ubuntu logo before this happens? [02:35] !info grubpc [02:35] Package grubpc does not exist in karmic [02:35] !info grub-pc [02:35] is there any program like vnstat but in real time ? coz vnstat either need 5 min or manual to update ! thx [02:35] grub-pc (source: grub2): GRand Unified Bootloader, version 2 (PC/BIOS version).

This channel is busy enough as it is [02:36] serengeti: when it finished loading, it goes all distorted. [02:36] thats nice [02:37] ill brb [02:37] sabgenton: thats just how version #s work. They pused grub2 in whild it was still considerd beta [02:37] jrub, lol [02:37] Dr_willis do you think grub2 could install ubuntu server iso's [02:37] drknzz: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m27a7978e [02:37] jokeem, when the screen freezes, can you use Ctrl+Alt+F1 to switch to the text console? [02:37] eeepcwifi: are you able to test different router configs without messing anything else up too badly? [02:37] non live cd isos [02:37] jrib: sorry about that man === aperson is now known as APERSON [02:37] Dr_Willis: I'm trying what you told me about yesterday [02:37] this channel has too restricted rules. [02:37] serengeti: never tryed.. [02:37] grub2 able to boot isos [02:37] if u say u support freedom then give more freedom to users [02:37] jetpack: I have too much connected to it in use. And this is how I want it set up. So I need to get the netbook working with wep 128bit hidden [02:38] jokeem, and what Radeon is it, by the way/ [02:38] gent00 you are free to start your own channel [02:38] I currently have nvidia-glx.185 installed, and i tried the latest version of the drivers from the nvidia site, but the temp on my GPU is always around 66 when idle and the fan is always running, any hints on how to fix this? [02:38] i dont know. mkquist__ what was it :D [02:38] i'm having trouble installing onto my ps3 here's the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFBNmM1I_XM [02:39] eeepwifi: did you try deleting the network profile and recreating it. It sometimes work for me. [02:39] evon: i think you will need to read more on that webpage, i have no idea what could ever be wrong, sorry [02:39] !ps3 | oorah [02:39] oorah: Aside from i386 and amd64 platforms, Ubuntu is also available for alternate platforms. Playstation 3 ( support in #ubuntu-ps3 ) Apple PowerPC ( support in #ubuntu-ppc ) [02:39] jokeem, so was it like that from the beginning or maybe you have installed some new drivers? [02:39] devilwithaheart: yes I've done it several times cus I thoguht I was typing something wrong until I tested teh settigns on my iphone and it worked. [02:39] How does one install nouveau driver (for nvdia video cards) on Ubuntu? I assume it involves installing 'xserver-xorg-video-nouveau', but then what do I do? [02:39] drknzz: are you really giving up on me? :-( there are no more packages i have to install? [02:39] is there any way I can downgrade the version of the gimp shipped with Ubuntu 9.10 to a useful version? [02:39] eeepcwifi: I was just going to have you un-hide it and see if it will connect unhidden. Have you filed a bug report? [02:40] rip: search for the nvidia-glx package, or go to the nvidia website [02:40] !pin | pfred1 [02:40] jetpack: I can try unhiding it.. sec... [02:40] pfred1: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [02:40] evon: im sleepy now, gotta go bed, and, as far as i can go undersgtanding the problem, it might be the developers fault this time :S [02:40] noshelter: I don't want to install Nvidia's proprietary drivers though [02:40] serengeti: well i was in the recovery for ubuntu, and I press fix graphic errors. [02:41] I prefer free drivers [02:41] rip: sorry, not sure of a free version of them [02:41] evon: i have to go university tomorrow :p [02:41] rip: often i find to get all teh features - You have to use the drivers from nvidia [02:41] jrub http://paste.ubuntu.com/362322/ [02:41] jetpack: it works with my network broadcasting [02:41] How do I activate sound in rdesktop? and is it possible to multi client with rdesktop? [02:41] jetpack: so the issue is that its hidden. [02:41] rip: on some box's i cant even get proper resolutions without the nvidia drivers installed. [02:42] drknzz: i hear you. I have work in the morning. [02:42] eeepcwifi: what encription you use? [02:42] drknzz: thanks though. I will keep searching. [02:42] hey whats happens in koala when you remove the xorg.conf and reboot? [02:42] devilwithaheart: wep 128 [02:42] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFBNmM1I_XM here is the error i'm getting trying to install Ubuntu onto my ps3 [02:42] How do I activate sound in rdesktop? and is it possible to multi client with rdesktop? [02:42] mkquist__: it uses the default autoconfiguring feature of X. [02:42] Dr_Willis: I'm not that tempted to get all the features... I only want to get suspend (sleep) working on a laptop... and the nouveau free driver seems to be able to sleep my laptop since it is intstalled by default on Fedora... so that's why i'm asking how one installs nouveau on Ubuntu... [02:42] will it crash or remake? [02:42] rip: never tried them. so no idea [02:43] mkquist__: it won't remake - X will fail to start [02:43] mkquist__: neither.. it AUTOCONFIGURES. [02:43] Dr_Willis: I can get the laptops full resolution with the nouveau driver on Fedora [02:43] eeepcwifi: are you sure that you had the network ID in exactly right? [02:43] Dr_Willis: so what if jokeem just removes his xorg.conf... so will it reconfigure? [02:43] mkquist__: it autoconfigures as needed upon X startup. In theory. [02:43] jetpack: yes its 4 letters not easy to mess up :) [02:43] mkquist__: it does not make a xorg.conf [02:43] Dr_Willis: so its almost like dpkg-reconfigure-xserver? [02:43] jetpack: its shat.. :) so i know i typed it right [02:44] lets find out... hmm [02:44] jetpack: not sure if you saw but it did connect when it was broadcasting. [02:44] mkquist__: i have severla machines with no xorg.conf - some need it for special features/settings [02:44] Dr_Willis pinning seems useful if you have things that work [02:44] can anyone help me with ps3 errors? [02:45] eeepcwifi: Yeah, I saw that... hmm... [02:45] Anyone know of a good rdesktop client? gnome-rdesktop isnt so good [02:45] um... does anybody know if there's a good Microsoft Project equivalent for Ubuntu? >.> [02:45] jph_: "jrib" instead of "jrub" if you want me to get a highlight :) [02:45] jetpack: im going to hide it and try again.

Does its dependency list need updating?

[03:23] elux: is that how you changed it the first time, or have you tried rebooting since you ran the command i just gave you? [03:23] a system restore would be nice :( [03:23] !repeat | eeepcwifi [03:23] eeepcwifi: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [03:24] has anyone installed the nouveau driver for a computer w/ an nvidia video cards? how does one do this? [03:24] :) well whats the repeat delay? [03:24] brb guys [03:24] could anyone here recommend a good newsreader for use with giganews and newzbin? (.nzb files) [03:24] pan [03:24] I have a minor issue: xchat won't beep on highlights or pm's, does anyone know how to fix that? it's already checked to beep in my settings [03:25] can someone please help me build a kernel module [03:25] eeepcwifi: use ubuntu-bug network-manager-gnome [03:25] not the PID [03:25] idleOne: I tried that too [03:25] same response [03:25] anyone know where the List.cs is to be found, in mono project, wanted to check out the source code of it, but cant find it in system.collections.generic [03:25] the pid on your system is most certanly diffrent then on mine eeepcwifi [03:26] jokeem: well, there are some things you might want to try, but I'm not sure if it's worth the trouble. Wouldn't a reinstall be quicker? [03:26] yeah, but I need a lot of the stuff on there [03:26] valuable info $$ === Ferris- is now known as Ferris`away [03:26] IdleOne: it recognized that the PID was for network-manager-gnome cus it was in teh title of the error box.. so I tried just the program name and same response.. not genuine [03:26] LOL [03:26] malnek, apt-get install pan [03:26] also the pid was suggested on the help pages for reporting a bug on ubuntu.com [03:27] this is the error i am getting http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m3b8b701d [03:27] jokeem: can you browse to your home directory from the livecd? [03:28] yeah, but theres a program called skipper that saved your passwords etc.. i need to run a abck from that [03:28] eeepcwifi: got me. [03:28] nomasteryoda, thanks :) [03:28] serengeti: maybe I could copy the FireFox folder.. some how? [03:29] jokeem: you could always do that [03:29] jokeem: do you have another hd? [03:29] wheres the ff folder? [03:29] nah, i has cds^^ [03:29] I sometimes feel like I am cursed with this netbook. === linucks[afk] is now known as linucks [03:30] jeez, its been too long since i used any sort of os other than win. How can i grep in top after firefox pid number? [03:30] jokeem: is the hd partitioned into more than one partition? [03:30] mkquist__: also, how do i see all the installed programs i have, so i can atleast remember the names of them all. [03:30] ps ax | grep -i firefox [03:30] mkquist__: believe not [03:30] i have windows and ubnu [03:30] ubuntu* [03:30] malnek: ps ax | grep -i firefox [03:31] eeepcwifi, thanks! [03:31] so, does anybody know why xchat won't beep even though it's set to beep in the alerts settings? didn't really find anything on the internet [03:31] serengeti: hows about he just removes and reinstalls the package xserver-xorg-video-radeon from the command line in recovery mode? === ThipThip_ is now known as jMyles [03:31] malnek: you can't run grep on top :( but you can use -p and the pid.. lol but you need the pid first [03:32] malnek: so use ps === ctp_ is now known as ctp [03:32] Hey DugOut! [03:32] eeepcwifi, will remember that. Great tip thanks again [03:32] mkquist__: do you know which radeon is it? maybe it's a newer one and he needs fglrx? [03:32] is there a way to know the size of a diff in svn between the working copy and HEAD? [03:32] malnek: np [03:32] serengeti: 3200 [03:33] mk mkquist__ can i make a backup off my installed programs on the live cd, then ill copy the home folder/desktop, then firefox [03:33] mkquist__: well he needs fglrx ;) [03:34] jokeem: do you know if your ubuntu install is 32 or 64 bit? [03:34] how can I make an .iso Image of a CD? [03:34] serengeti: 32 [03:35] tLoFP: dd if=cdromx of=whatever.iso [03:35] jokeem: well if you want to try one more thing... [03:35] jiohdi: like dat... for real? no software to install? [03:35] serengeti: sure. [03:35] tLoFP: dd does it all :) [03:36] Dang. [03:36] is 10 minutes enough time for repeating my help request? [03:36] I'm trying to install the firefox daily build, but it failed. [03:36] jokeem: you can go to http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx?type=2.4.2&product=2.4.2.3.25&lang=English [03:36] tLoFP: you think thats neat, check out www.commandfu.com [03:36] and download that driver [03:37] jiohdi it didn't find cdromx [03:37] k [03:37] tLoFP: www.commandlinefu.com [03:37] Hey guys, how do I diff a certain number of lines? [03:37] From terminal? [03:37] tLoFP: you have to sub cdromx for your actual location [03:37] serengeti: LOL, i just typed k and pressed enter on my laptop... im so stressed atm [03:37] tLoFP: it was not meant to be literal [03:37] jiohdi: I have cdrom and cdrom0 both seem to access the disk, whats the diff? [03:37] tLoFP: it could be something like /media/cdrom0 [03:37] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d4ee1e644 [03:38] um... does anybody know why xchat's not giving me a beep on highlights or pm's even though I set it to do so in the alerts settings?... *one last try for now >_>* [03:38] jiohdi: yea I have /media/cdrom and /media/cdrom0 but they both direct me to the contents of the cd [03:38] serengeti: then hell have to boot to recovery and install from cl [03:38] tLoFP: than it likely does not matter which you use [03:38] jokeem: no you cannot backup 'onto' the live cd [03:38] Anyone? Bueler? [03:38] sigh. [03:38] jokeem: you can burn it to a cd if you have a burner [03:38] mkquist__: from , not to. [03:39] jiohdi: dd: reading `/media/cdrom': Is a directory [03:39] HELP!! OS: Ubuntu 9.10 Netbook Remix | Problem, Trying to report a bug using ubuntu-bug . I used the PID for network-manager-gnome and its saying "The probme cannot be reported, this is not a genuine ubuntu package" [03:39] no .iso [03:39] mkquist__: maybe chroot would work? [03:39] jokeem: i thought you wanted to back up your install? [03:39] jiohdi: cdrom0 does the same [03:39] yeah i did [03:39] tLoFP: dd turns the contents into an iso file [03:39] serengeti: whats chroot? [03:39] serengeti: chroot to what? [03:39] I guess the real problem is that ubuntu-bug doesn't see network-manager-gnome as a genuine package [03:39] could be because you don't have a sound file xchat is pointed to [03:40] serengeti: to do what rather? [03:40] jiohdi: no... you .... you can't make .iso that fast [03:40] its... its not possible... is it ? [03:40] tLoFP: you can I have done it [03:40] jiohdi: I mean it was instant [03:40] jokeem: whats the output of - lspci -nn | grep VGA [03:41] puff: did you try installing the two packages mentioned in the error? [03:41] tLoFP: check the size of the file [03:41] jiohdi: lol no the iso is 0 bytes, something wrong === soreau_ is now known as soreau [03:41] mkquist__: well it makes programs think they live in a different filesystem, in a way [03:41] mkquist__: so you can run apt-get and stuff from the live cd, but it works on your hard drive install [03:42] mkquist__: 01.05.0 VGA compatiable controller [03:42] serengeti: to install gfx driver? [03:42] tLoFP: check out http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/learn-the-dd-command-362506/ [03:42] mkquist__: ATI TECH RS780M radesen HD 3200 graphics.. etc [03:42] puff: did you try installing the two packages mentioned in the error? [03:42] tLoFP: I may have left out something [03:42] anyone else wanna comment on that? [03:42] Hmm, anyone have experience with running an existing partition of ubuntu as a guest in virtualbox? It's on the same HD, and I'm wondering if I'm doing potentially unholy things to it by doing so. [03:42] mkquist__: I have never tried it :p [03:43] jokeem: and then glxinfo |grep vendor [03:43] mkquist__: in theory, nothing can go wrong :) [03:43] unkown chip id. cant guess. [03:43] :) [03:43] ToastedPine: thats not how it works [03:44] serengeti: you get to walk him thru that one... =p [03:44] arghh2d2: not how what works? [03:45] jokeem: how's the download going, by the way? [03:45] wow still as busy as ever in here [03:45] im putting it on a usb now [03:45] jokeem: that driver I've linked to [03:45] jokeem, you don't need to [03:45] EastDallas: Well, tried that and hten tried apt-get install firefox again, now when I start firefox I get a popup that says History Tree Extension - Overlay Initialization Error. [03:45] serengeti: yes, i do.. if i downlaoded it on my PC lol [03:46] jokeem: I see ;) [03:46] I just upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10. Can't find the gnome applet that lets me adjust the volume and open the mixer. Anyone know where that went? [03:46] top right had corner [03:46] serengeti: installing now... [03:46] jokeem: how are you installing it? [03:47] jokeem: on the livecd? [03:47] serengeti: yes [03:47] jokeem: then stop ;) [03:47] serengeti: i double click, run in terminal.. [03:47] serengeti: lol kk [03:47] jokeem: it won't work [03:47] serengeti: i fgured [03:47] hiexpo: If that was to me, I know where it's *SUPPOSED* to be. But it isn't there, and when I click on add applet, there's nothing about sound/audio/volume control there [03:48] jokeem: can you copy it to your home directory on the hard drive? [03:48] let me look what its actually called one sec [03:48] jokeem: the one that has all your documents and stuff in it [03:49] permission denied... [03:49] jokeem: ok [03:49] :( [03:49] lol [03:49] im gonna smash it soon :( [03:49] jokeem: what's the name of your pendrive on the desktop? [03:49] Lexar [03:50] whats the terminal command to get rid of the raccoon in my ceiling? [03:50] jokeem: and that driver file is just there, I mean it's not in a subdirectory or anything? [03:50] andydbzee: spam? [03:50] serengeti: you gonna have him install the fglrx driver? [03:50] jiohdi: I did through the GUI, it seems to be working on it now [03:51] andydbzee: smite [03:51] serengeti: just there [03:51] lol [03:51] go into synaptic and type sound and see whats check in yhe list [03:51] andydbzee: sudo rm -rf racoon_in_ceiling?

This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. [03:51] mkquist__: daredevil I am :] but it's easy to do nowadays. [03:52] serengeti: i tell you what, help me backup ff, and i reinstall the crap ;) [03:52] hiexpo: There's about four pages of matches [03:52] skeelol: Please don't spam [03:52] jokeem: im thinking you still could edit you xorg.conf - i tossed up a pastebin, try sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf(tab to finish) and replace the device section with the pastebin [03:53] If I want to prevent apache from starting on boot where do i go to change that [03:53] jokeem: that's easy: go to your home dir on the hard drive and click View - Show hidden files [03:53] mkquist__: ok.. [03:53] ok let me check one other thing [03:53] jokeem: youll have to change the name to just xorg.conf though to try it - again on you hard drive install not the live cd [03:54] jokeem: firefox stuff is in the directory called ".mozilla" [03:54] jokeem: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m3f5ec395 [03:54] why I can't seem to upgrade my firefox? [03:54] mkquist__: don't worry, im reinstalling it. [03:54] jokeem: or you can just reinstall, your choice [03:54] I open the browser as root but it doesn't display the update option [03:54] mkquist__: k 4 hours of trying, straight.. give up [03:54] jokeem: ok [03:54] i've got a problem with totem, i'm pretty sure it has to do with gstreamer. i can't seem to play dvds, vlc is not working either [03:55] jokeem: gave it a go though.. sry [03:55] i'd like to get it to work in vlc honestly [03:55] ubuntu-bug detects network-manager-gnome as non-genuine and wont let me report a bug with it. Any suggestions? [03:55] mkquist__: yeahh [03:55] mkquist__: nw [03:55] LinuX2half, what version do you have and what are you trying to upgrade to? [03:55] hiexpo: On a lark I went to system > preferences > startup applications and I see volume control in there, which is gnome-volume-control-applet. I think that's it, but there's no volume control. I'll try to find it and run manually. [03:55] jokeem: i say back it up, give the edit a chance, it fails.. reainstall, it works, you done. [03:56] p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; } dvdnav error: cannot set title (can't decrypt DVD?) dvdread error: fatal error in vts ifo dvdread error: DvdReadSetArea(0,0,1) failed (can't decrypt DVD?) main error: no access module matched "dvd" [03:56] TeslaTony:Currently I'm running 3.5.7 and I'm trying to upgrade it to 3.6 [03:56] this is what i get in vlc... any ideas? [03:56] mkquist__: i say throw the thing in the bin [03:56] jokeem: naw, you can do that tomorrow... =p [03:56] mkquist__: im like 3 hours behind now in school work.. could of had the best head start today lol [03:57] is there any program like vnstat but in real time ? coz vnstat either need 5 min or manual to update ! thx [03:57] repeat after me.. dont make changes for no reas.... oh nevermind too late for that [03:57] lol [03:57] LinuX2half, try http://smartproteam.com/install-current-firefox-36-ubuntu/ [03:57] my sound wasnt working [03:57] !lol | jokeem (once again) [03:57] _ ___ _ [03:57] | | | . || | [03:57] | |_ | | || |_ [03:57] |___|`___'|___| [03:57] jokeem (once again): Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis.

[03:57] !ops | skeelol [03:57] trying to fix that [03:57] mkquist__: as I said, if all you care about is firefox then you just have to backup the .mozilla folder [03:57] skeelol: Help! Channel emergency!

[03:57] mkquist__: sorry wrong nick ;) [03:57] will it backup my book marks too? [03:58] jokeem: as I said, if all you care about is firefox then you just have to backup the .mozilla folder [03:58] serengeti: np [03:58] I have already have those PPA source code inputed [03:58] jokeem: everything including extensions, history, cookies, bookmarks etc [03:58] serengeti: ohh noo, history ^^ [03:59] jokeem: the best thing to do is find that .mozilla directory, right click on it and choose Compress [03:59] sudo apt-get install alsamixergui [03:59] serengeti: ok [04:00] there ya go [04:00] Well I've try to add the sourceforge source code and already I can't seem to update my browser [04:00] ARRRRRRRRRRRR. Wont let me abckup, permission denied!!!! [04:00] serengeti: so which mozilla directory? [04:00] FFFFFFF** [04:00] jokeem: sudo [04:00] that should fix it [04:00] Does anyone know to resolve this issue....? [04:01] sudo what? :S [04:01] jokeem: try sudo whatever command you were trying to backup [04:01] jokeem: oh your in nautilus [04:01] LinuX2half: - whays the prob [04:02] i was draging folders onto my usb.. lol [04:02] jokeem: you could try sudo nautilus, then you could just drop drag things [04:02] jokeem: gksudo nautilus [04:02] ToastedPine: ok [04:02] is there any program like vnstat but in real time ? coz vnstat either need 5 min or manual to update ! thx [04:02] does gksudo even matter against sudo anymore? [04:02] ToastedPine: wait.. i cant see my other partiton when i gksudo... [04:02] hiexpo: Alright, I'm running a 3.5.7 version of firefox and I want to upgrade the browser to 3.6 but when I run the browser as root it doesn't display the "check for updates" option. [04:03] jokeem: in the terminal, do [04:03] "cd ~/Desktop" [04:03] jokeem: look in media [04:03] Hm, I tried to install the firefox daily build via the PPA. This broke, citing dependency on abrowser-brnading and firefox-branding. I installed those packages manually and firefox then refused to start, instead popping up a warning "History Tree Extension - Overlay Initialization Error." [04:03] No media? [04:03] O_O [04:03] serengeti: wont that just put him in the root folder? [04:03] hiexpo: I've also added the source code and the daily build. [04:03] jokeem: then "sudo tar -cf moz.tar /media/disk/home/YOURUSERNAME/.mozilla" [04:04] helper: for realtime I use iftop and for logging purposes I use ntop [04:04] mkquist: it should put him on the livecd desktop [04:04] LinuX2half: - i am not sure about that but i think you have to download and install it manually [04:04] serengeti: if he sudo nautilus? [04:04] I then removed the daily build PPA from my /etcapt/sources.list and then apt-get removed firefox, apt-get removed abrowser-brnading, apt-get removed firefox-branding. Installed firefox, it failed to run. Removed it and reinstalled it two or three times and it finally is sorta working, though it'smissing the /usr/bin/firefox alias to /usr/bin/firefox-3.0 [04:04] Any advice here? [04:04] mkquist__: but he can't see the partitions if he does sudo nautils [04:05] eeepcwifi, what i need is to check the bandwidth usage in real time like if my users are downloading how much !! Does ntop do this? [04:05] why not? [04:05] serengeti: why not? [04:05] mkquist__: dunno, but that's what he said. [04:05] ok ff backed up [04:05] can i sue that command for other dirctories? [04:05] use* [04:05] serengeti: cause he started in diff place [04:06] jokeem: you have that moz.tar file on the desktop? [04:06] hmmm, it's a long shot, but chmod 777 might be able to make copying possible. [04:06] serengeti: yes [04:06] jokeem: have you checked what's inside? [04:06] ser yeah [04:06] serengeti: firefox.. my addons.. etc [04:07] bookmarks [04:07] helper: ntop will graphically track overall usage as well as individual ip traffics going through your gateway. It keeps statistical logs of everything and updates realtime. Its webbased and uses its own built in webserver. Iftop is great for getting current traffic based on an interface (eg. iftop -i eth0) but it doesn't keep statistical logs. I manage 30 servers and use iftop for quick spot checks if its running slow and ntop for history to see when / [04:07] serengeti: ill use that command for toher folders? [04:08] jokeem: you can but you might run out of space [04:08] ill delete as I go serengeti [04:09] jokeem: the thing is that your livecd desktop has very little free space [04:09] helper: ntop also gives you top users and you can go in and see exactly what traffic they were doing and when. As well as their throughput. [04:09] serengeti: isnt he copying this to a usb drive? [04:09] hiexpo: oh okay then thanks [04:09] jokeem: so you might want to do "cd /media/Lexer" in the terminal so that the files end up on the pendrive [04:09] mkquist__: yea lol [04:09] ok [04:09] mkquist__: I told him to do cd ~/Desktop before ;) [04:10] helper: I think ntop is what yoru looking for if you need statistical history. but if you just need to do a quick check on who is doing what right now then iftop provides a very low overhead command line interface thats really quick and easy. [04:11] http://www.lifehacker.com.au/2007/12/access_linux_files_from_window/ <--- copy firefox backup in windows? [04:11] When will ubuntu finished packaging firefox 3.6? [04:11] helper: but ntop can be used to see who is doing what right now as well, but is more resource intense by nature. [04:11] LinuX2half: - no prob sorry i couldn't help [04:11] eeepcwifi downloaded ntop! http://localhost => for web log? [04:11] LinuX2half: chrome... [04:11] hiexpo that's alright, but I thanked for your effort [04:11] LinuX2half: probably april [04:12] jokeem: before you do the reinstall, please check that all the files really are in the archives you create and on the usb drive, ok? :P [04:12] That long...? [04:12] jokeem: I'm still of the opinion that its worth on more reboot after editing the xorg.conf file... If that works your done.. no reinstall [04:12] serengeti: lol i will [04:12] mkquist__: doubt it will lol [04:13] jokeem: youd be surpised, i used to install when i ran into problems before, but now ive found that it can usually be fixed pretty easily and you learn [04:13] kad: you need to configure it's conf file and then connect to it by port.. eg http://localhost:5423 or what ever port you configure it to run on [04:13] jokeem: oops- in the process [04:13] mkquist__: I guess, but im on the verge of smashing things.. [04:13] mkquist__: I agree, reinstalling is generally against the linux spirit ;) but if he's already so much late... [04:13] Kad: I use ntop in OpenSuSE and its config file is located in /etc/sysconfig/ntop [04:14] serengeti: i know, but thats one thing that has not been done... and its simple [04:15] kad: you need to configure the interface it listens on, port it will run its webserver on and what user it will run its webserver with and other settings for performance [04:15] If I want to prevent apache from starting on boot where do i go to change that [04:15] jokeem: I have to go anyway. you can always try the xorg.conf thing after you've backed up your stuff and just check if the system boots ok [04:15] okay then I'll wait patiently until its furnished just like last time [04:15] ARGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [04:15] wait serengeti [04:15] jokeem: ? [04:16] please, [04:16] how can i use that command to backup other things [04:16] saying no such file or dir [04:16] how can i do all of it at once.. actually [04:16] ..... [04:17] is there some way where I can see the progress of the firefox version development..? [04:17] kad: for example I run mine with this: /usr/bin/ntop -P /var/lib/ntop -i eth0 -u wwwrun -w :5423 -b -n -z [04:17] The -P is where it will store its database -b -n -z are for performance reasons [04:17] I'm not sure if there's a site to track the progress of the developing version online...... [04:17] can I backup from windows? cause I have a large aprtiotn there.. ill just backup the whole l ot [04:17] serengeti: lookit the output of glxinfo |grep vendor, unknown chip id. cant guess, so the machine doesnt know what its dealing with [04:18] hello [04:18] jokeem: windows doesnt usually read from ext partitions... [04:18] jokeem: maybe try tar cvf everything.tar /media/disk/home/yourusernamehere - it would copy your entire home dir [04:18] kad: you'll see that i specify port 5423 so when connecting to its web interface i use http://:5423 [04:18] i am not being able to b rouse my network place from nautilus it is giving an error message of Failed to retrieve share list from server any help would be of great help [04:18] serengeti: ok, cheers [04:19] serengeti: if he has a windows part- why not back up there? [04:19] serengeti: it's working :) [04:20] Are there any devs on here that are working on the new software center rating system? I was looking at the concepts and I noticed that the term "Ubuntu Single Sign-On Account" is used. Is this just your Launchpad account? [04:20] mkquist__: I guess it doesn't make much difference [04:20] kad_: but you may want to look at iftop its much simpler and great for quick spot checks [04:20] serengeti: more space? [04:20] aliendude3500: I'm not familiar with the spec, but I would imagine so, yes. === drew is now known as Guest40154 [04:20] crazy [04:21] ok. so i can't play dvds [04:21] aliendude3500: since Launchpad is what's used for Ubuntu One (and practically everything else). [04:21] mkquist__: touche. but maybe the usb drive has enough room? we'll see... [04:21] Well, if any devs see this, I think it would be much better to make the dialog just say "Launchpad account" instead of "Ubuntu Single Sign-On account". MUCH less redundant. :) [04:21] and i think i deleted all my media dependencies [04:21] serengeti: hope [04:21] l [04:22] apprently it doesn't [04:22] mkquist__: I think at the moment fglrx is needed for opengl acceleration on ati HD3200 [04:22] anyone good with vlc errors? [04:22] anyone know why my terminal/console garbles up ansi/ncurses stuff? [04:22] jokeem: out of space? [04:22] maybe I can backit up remotely to my windows machine...... some how [04:22] serengeti: yea lol [04:22] I know you guys are trying to make this seem super easy and obvious for new users, but Launchpad account is shorter, better sounding, and not any harder to understand. [04:23] jokeem: delete the movies :p [04:23] bongoir [04:23] thats silly [04:24] serengeti: got none son :P [04:24] jokeem: but seriously, what's the name of your windows partition on the livecd desktop? [04:24] ill see if i can borrow my friend external HDD [04:24] umm [04:24] ACER [04:24] jokeem: ok so in the terminal do cd /media/ACER [04:24] my best friend is google [04:25] and then that tar thing [04:25] can anyone help me to write data to a hfsplust external? [04:25] ur a legend [04:25] maybe there's enough room on your windows drive [04:25] ...if it works :) [04:25] 100gb should do it :) [04:25] jokeem: it's actually mkquist__'s idea ;) [04:26] <3 mkquist__ & serengeti [04:26] serengeti: just need to get him fixed, whoevers idea.. =) [04:26] jokeem: but I really have to go, it's 5:26 am where I live [04:26] serengeti: ok thanks heaps for the help [04:26] jokeem: gedit /etc/xorg.conf... [04:26] jokeem: g/l either way [04:27] mkquist__: lemme b/u first [04:27] i might be not completely aware of what I'm saying anymore :P [04:27] jokeem: of course [04:27] no one have any ideas [04:27] ? [04:27] lol [04:27] answers aren't instant from what I've learned :( [04:28] mkquist__: I'll talk to you later.. if you're still on, while it backups. I need a rest [04:28] mkquist__: he's on live cd, /etc isn't interesting, you want /media/disk/etc/foooooo [04:28] jokeem: kk [04:28] mkquist__: bye [04:28] jokeem: bye [04:28] they aren't?

How can I modify the permissions on my scanner? [04:45] This seems to be the right place to ask about a way to make the 'mouse-cursor' in Gnome 'bigger' 9.10. [04:46] sigh [04:46] i think i'm rooted [04:46] dabukalam, add yourself to the group associated... perhaps it's scan? [04:46] drew3, can't that be done from the appearance settings? i'm not entirely sure if you can change the size of cursors, but I know you can change the cursor theme from there [04:47] or in gconf-editor maybe [04:47] Out_Cold: Okay, how can i view which users are in a group? [04:47] dabukalam: not that I could find. [04:47] brb [04:47] dabukalam, sudo nano /etc/group [04:48] anyone run steam + bioshock in WINE ? i cant get it to launch. ideas ?

[04:49] cursor theme, ahh dabukalam those terms help, ty [04:49] Out_Cold, do I have to restart anything, or will it take changes immediately? [04:50] SetiAmon: Install unrar-nonfree [04:50] And try it [04:50] dabukalam, i don't think it's immediate. ask around though [04:50] but don't i have to register the nonfree version of unrar to use it [04:50] SetiAmon, no [04:51] SetiAmon: what is the error it failed with? [04:51] is banshee generally a bad media player? it's taking up in excess of 800MB's of memory for me right now. [04:51] Out_Cold, yeah I have my user added to all the groups in there, saned, scanner, saneusers, but still no access [04:51] how can I chown the scanner with a group? [04:51] SetiAmon: What version of unrar you are having right now? [04:51] dabukalam, i can't say for 100% but nay need a complete reboot for the effects to take place [04:52] Out_Cold: I'd rather restart a process, it's a server and currently serving... [04:52] well since i just installed it i should have the latest.1.3.1 [04:53] dabukalam, you can chown the specific process but that may not help you either... might not be what you expected [04:53] Ramza: It depends upon what codec you are having and what type of media file you are playing ! [04:53] dabukalam, my server takes less than 1 min to reboot... might be worth it.. [04:53] maybe someone else here knows how to have /etc/group changes take effect [04:54] cool it worked [04:54] Thanks all,thanks unrar-nonfree worked [04:54] SetiAmon: :) [04:55] well, for now i'll just restart it and wait. see if it hapens again. I like it so would prefer to keep using it. thanks. [04:55] SetiAmon, nonfree just means it does not follow the ubuntu code of open source, there for not included by default [04:55] oh [04:55] thanks [04:55] where is the terminal in the launch application? [04:55] bioshock + wine (steam).. anyone got experience with it ? i cant get it working.. but its rated as gold, and no comments on it.

[05:45] wzssyqa, then tarballing or ftp is the way to go. if you want to send to them, they need the server, if you want them to take from you, then you need the server [05:45] there is another synaptic running in non-interactive mode :( [05:45] Explore2: so , you installed, netselect-apt?

Here it practically tops one core (90%). [05:53] Why can't I hear DTS out of XBMC? / How do I test if Ubuntu (pulseaudio) can play DTS? [05:53] blakkheim, well then we are both on the same page lol... not hard, but definitely not easy [05:54] ghthor, k i'll restart now.. [05:54] Can any one please tell me why they quit pidgin and moved on to empathy ? [05:54] zilkomaa, ahh, wait those aren't the right lines, need "set root=(hd0,1)", "chainloader (hd0,1)+1" [05:54] Oasa: angry teenagers who wanted webcam chat [05:54] ghthor, eheh okoko [05:54] Oasa, cuz they are lame [05:55] Pidgin now supports webcam chat. [05:55] Oasa: it didn't when they switched [05:55] Explore2: http://packages.debian.org/lenny/netselect-apt, check it here [05:55] so if enough people use pidgin over empathy (which i think is so far the case) they may switch back [05:55] good nite all i wont give up that easy i will be back lol [05:55] I like pidgin. [05:56] we'll be here priya rest easy [05:56] i rebooted i just realized i dont even get the ubuntu drums just the drums for login not the lil beat as the animation dances [05:56] thanks [05:56] lol [05:56] screw! a hammer will fix it later! [05:56] im thinking of purchasing a new rig in a few months and want to get something in the mid-high end that plays nice with linux, it's been a while and I'm hearing great things about amd cpus but not so much with ati gpu's + linux and also that amd mother boards don't play very well with nvidia. what kind of rigs do you guys run, where can I go for further info? [05:56] Coded1: avoid ati [05:57] Coded1: just build it yourself [05:57] ghthor, ok changed.. [05:57] Coded1, ati works great in laptops but not towers.. and nvidia always has driver issues that are difficult to fix [05:57] ghthor, restarting now.. [05:57] zilkomaa, kk [05:58] blakkheim, that I know (previous 9800 owner) and I will be building it myself, been checking around on newegg.com but scared if I get an AMD mb chipset im gonna paint myself into a corner, are there mobos that are friendly to both amd/nvidia? [05:58] Out_Cold: I've never found that with nvidia.. lately the newer cards might have issues because the driver available in ubuntu is pretty far behind the power curve [05:58] Coded1: not sure, i'm an intel guy [05:59] AMD prices are almost too sweet to let go [05:59] scunizi, i've seen a fair bit of issues especially with overscanning and new drivers failing to support old cards.. [05:59] ia m an intel guy too [05:59] i use asus / amd / nvidia / 0 problems. [06:00] Out_Cold: new drivers and old cards don't mix well.. that's why there are 3 primary drivers for nvidia cards.. New .. Old.. and Older [06:00] But you hate those things when you have single cpu [06:00] when do i get this err? ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.20 port 22: No route to host [06:00] lost connection [06:00] scunizi, agreed but try telling that to the auto-updater [06:01] Explore2, firewall [06:01] I just installed Karmic Koala on my notebook, currently running kernel 2.6.31-17 amd64. Every time I try to suspend my notebook, it cuts to a black screen with a blinking cursor. I have to manually power it off every time. Please help!! [06:01] Explore2, check to see if you have an ip address on that card [06:01] Out_Cold: yep.. I never use the auto updater.. in fact I use the drivers from nvidia's site.. I just plan on reinstalling them on a kernel upgrade [06:01] How? [06:02] wiggmpk: your swap should be apx 2x of your ram for suspend to work [06:02] scunizi, but that's where i see the issues with users.... that and overscan is one hellova *** [06:02] But i donno how you guys do support for non-free drivers , o_O [06:02] i mean nvidia-glx [06:02] rumpsy, we don [06:02] t [06:02] scunizi: 4 GB Physical RAM & 12 GB SWAP, not the issue :) [06:03] zilkomaa, still no luck? [06:03] rumpsy, nvidia issues for nvidia devs [06:03] ghthor, argh now there is two windows xp boot sections in grub other one says again error: no such partition and other one loads back to grub like i said before :( [06:03] Everyday, someone asking about 3d drivers, why don't they use default drivers for stability [06:04] guess you have to pick the lesser of the evils with gpu's intel just sucks, amd is great value but doesn't work on nix, nvidia offers a lot more but is closed [06:04] work with creative soundblaster cards? if i have to use my sound card then fine because this is driving me nuts! [06:04] hi all [06:04] does linux ybuntu 9.10 ^ [06:04] Can I get some help here with suspend [06:04] rileyp: yep [06:04] i choosed to use nv driver as my default driver [06:04] and karmic [06:04] wiggmpk: suspend and hibernate don't share a unified method of programming and can be very different from one machine to the next.. I'd search the forums for your laptop model to see what others have experienced and possible solutions [06:04] rileyp : Dont ask to ask. Just ask [06:05] ghthor, should i reinstall grub or something.. [06:05] its a desktop and i have searched the forums for 3 days [06:05] to no avail [06:05] I know the power of default video drivers [06:05] jazz: I have on old SB Audigy Platinum in my desktop, works like a charm. [06:05] rileyp : YOur problem please [06:05] scunizi: I have tried, also googled.. Looks like suspend/hibernate is a known issue with 9.10 and bug reports are filed.. Just taking a shot in the dark in the channel [06:05] scunizi: you think a swap partition across a software raid would cause an issue with suspending [06:06] wiggmpk : No [06:06] I have NO idea why hardware manufacturers make closed sourced drivers :( [06:06] lol Myke1 [06:06] wiggmpk: that's a wrinkle .. maybe [06:06] they dont make money on the drivers, they make money on the hardware [06:06] ok upon suspend screen freezes and keyboard no reponsive as well as mouse system is frozen [06:06] JAzz, if you are using soundblaster card, modprobe appropriate driver [06:06] Oasa: no what? [06:06] Myke1, to be better than the others... or at least different [06:07] scunizi: doesnt seem like it would be an issue, it wasnt before [06:07] wiggmpk: It wont cauase trouble. [06:07] the suspend log log looks fine though [06:07] zilkomaa, well I don't know then, to remove the second entry just remove it from /etc/grub.d/40_custom. Maybe you should just try reinstalling grub with "sudo grub-install /dev/sda" [06:07] Oasa: any thoughts on why suspend is borked? [06:07] Myke1, but if someone figures out a better way to do it they might feel bad [06:07] wiggmpk: I'm not familure enough with raid to know [06:07] wont anyone think of the corporations! [06:07] anyone know where exactly in firefox it calls to the OS (linux specifically) to use a certain widget? reason being my widgets are messed up in kde 4.4 using firefox portable [06:07] ghthor, ok thanks u anyway [06:07] wiggmpk, suspend with ubuntu has a long history of being broken [06:07] man im so angry right now, first cairo goes down making my updates crazy and i did a clean install of ubuntu reinstall all my stuff, and now sound give me trouble. [06:07] wiggmpk : No idea. As you have said, Its a popular bug. Hope they fix it in Lynx. [06:07] jazz, probably pulseaudio's fault [06:07] Oasa: so do I [06:08] I know its a common prob but i would liketo get on top of [06:08] Well, its just a driver. They can concentrate on making the hardware and make drivers open sourced so that everyone who can make them better. no harm no foul [06:08] rfgergrthnre: right, I remember.. However this is usually referred to as a regression.. suspend/hibernate should be a no brainer these days [06:08] just my 2 cents [06:09] ok lets find puse audio? would i have installed it inadvertently? [06:09] im using 2.6.31.14 [06:09] 2 cents compared to millions :p [06:09] i will not upgrade kerel as i have doen in the past to no benefit other that ata read errors and randon sysmen freezes [06:10] it doe snot fix suspend [06:10] tony__: That might be a question for #kubuntu or #firefox [06:10] hello [06:10] rileyp : Then what can you do ? [06:10] hi bert [06:11] Im asking! [06:11] what do you guys think about ddr3 and tripple channel ram? [06:11] just hype? [06:11] Well, is it easy to dual boot Windows Xp and Ubuntu 9.10? [06:11] wiggmpk, yep, it is regression... i dunno why, but things in ubuntu don't seem to stay in they work... look at x and audio... they were working fine in previous releases, but then they had to go and rewrite them and introduce lame bugs [06:11] hi i have a question with my ubuntu [06:11] On macOS terminal I can do "say hello" and my speakers say: hello. Can i do the same with Linux? [06:11] the players i have now were the players i had before. and i dont have pulse audio [06:12] albert: espeak [06:12] my programs are not working [06:12] bastid_raZor: is espaeak a program? [06:12] but they are supported with the new ubuntu [06:12] rfgergrthnre: well they did integrate PulseAudio.. which is beautiful if they would of just integrated it properly. [06:12] also when using mythbuntu my surround sound makes a d large crack sound everytime i open and close live tv or movie [06:13] wiggmpk, heh, dont talk to me about pulseaudio... it's just really that bad [06:13] albert: it is a command line app.. it should be installed by default. [06:13] bastid_raZor : I dont get espeak.

[07:51] RaiN88: ^^ [07:52] How would I know? :( [07:52] anyone familair with this: debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable [07:52] I know its late so a lot of people are idling. however, would anyone still alive have any guesses why the cryptroot file stored in /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d suddenly disappear? [07:53] How will I see errors in /var/logs? [07:53] RaiN88: you could try to boot to the recovery mode [07:53] alongside that, why would cryptsetup suddenly have a problem with the libgpg-error.so.0 library, causing the user to reinstall the libgpg-error package [07:54] this is a problem i had about a week ago that i ended up solving, but never found out why everything regarding cryptsetup commited suicide on me. [07:54] RaiN88: each and every error will be logged in /var/logs so open it and check it [07:55] RaiN88: relax, it can be figured out, but not like what you are doing... take your time and analyze... but most of all relax.. geeze. Usually its something simple, but it takes some problem solving. Getting wound up wont solve anything [07:55] What if we'll use remote desktop? [07:55] RaiN88: what is the problem you're having? [07:56] It wont restart, It stuck in black screen [07:57] define it. One of your machines? [07:57] Myrtt: then what will I do? [07:57] RaiN88: check /var/logs [07:57] looking back, I'm guessing that, for whatever reason, grub is looking at the wrong place, so start there. assuming you go ubuntu to install [07:57] RaiN88: I'm willing to help you with your problem. you have to answer my questions though. [07:57] RaiN88: Explain clearly, what happen , what you did... [07:57] RaiN88: listen to BinaryMan [07:58] Okay [07:58] RaiN88: or rumpsy [07:58] and /var/logs does not exist. what i believe Myrtti is referring to is a folder called /var/log, which holds logs about a variety of different services. [07:58] once you can tell me more about your problem, i'll have a better idea of which log to look at. [07:58] I see a lot of logs here [07:58] which will more than liketly tell us more information that can be used to diagnose your problem. [07:58] its pissing me off [07:59] how do i assign sounds to actions? the sound gui in preferences only lets me select themes [07:59] does any one here know how to configure vhost in apache [07:59] or do i gotta assign each action manually? [07:59] When I restart it process then stuck in black screen, then nothing happens .. [07:59] RaiN88: That's normal. is your only problem centered around rebooting? [07:59] RaiN88: or are you having problems booting into your system as well? [08:00] maybe.. [08:00] apache room says must regiter i register and it still wont let me in [08:00] rain88: there is another option to check system log, goto system, and then to administration and choose system log [08:00] * BinaryMan sighs [08:00] Okay rumpsy [08:00] I can't help the guy if he won't give more information.

[09:18] what model? [09:18] mkanyicy, doesnt matter what it says on the card, however this card seems rather old [09:19] indus, what do you recommend then? [09:19] mkanyicy, you trying to upgrade your card?is this a new card? [09:19] is this in a personal buy/sell print? they probably meant AGP 8x 64MB [09:19] yeah probably its the ram [09:19] * _Ovidiu is away: Gone away for now [09:19] 64 MB [09:20] indus, I am afraid to buy stuff that will not work with my PC. my motherboard is Biostar P4M80-M4 [09:20] LITesterB, indus it's 64bit and 256MB [09:20] post upgrade to karmic, console beeps are inaudible on my laptop.. any idea why?

When taking a kernel.org file and using the _same_ config as an official kernel, make-kpkg makes me a "xenu-linux-image" and .deb and not a simple linux-image one. (But I want a kernel with official config that supports both domU and non-domU .. but named linux-image) [09:38] what should I do to fixe the problem with grub 2 [09:38] ? [09:38] indus, being an indian i have to .. [09:38] l3ns: try just update-manager -c leave off the gksudo [09:38] Hi Open Source lovers!

[09:40] l3ns, in terminal type: cat /etc/issue [09:40] EastDallas, already hit the check button, still the sname [09:41] ZykoticK9: the config file is in .config/mupen64plus/ [09:41] indus: yes \o/ [09:41] thanks Eremite yea it's Ubuntu 8.04.3 LTS \n \l [09:41] onats: karmic? officially, never [09:41] You're welcome, l3ns [09:41] but why it ain't detecting newer version available? [09:42] l3ns, you dont have the newer version installed :D [09:42] l3ns, update-manager -d [09:42] Eremite, yes and that's why I would want to upgrade it :D [09:42] l3ns, do you have a cd burner and a CD or DVD? [09:43] coz_, still the same.. [09:43] l3ns, if you have a DVD or CD burner and a CD, visit http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download [09:44] l3ns, yes^^ you may want to burn the newer version... a clean install is far preferable then an upgrade [09:44] but i don't have a rom on this machine [09:44] coz_, you couldnt be more correct. I upgraded instead of a fresh install to karmic, and there was soooo many problems. [09:44] mkanyicy, hi [09:45] mkanyicy, so what have you decided [09:45] Eremite, it happens quite often so I understand :) [09:45] which is lts version, 9.10 or 9.04? [09:45] l3ns, 10.04 [09:45] 8.04 [09:45] l3ns: Neither [09:45] ??? [09:46] l3ns: 8.04 and soon to be 10.04 [09:46] ahh. when is 10.04 be released? [09:46] l3ns: Go to System > Administration > Software Sources: then choose Normal releases in the Show new distribution releases drop-down menu [09:46] !lucid [09:46] 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 [09:46] l3ns: as the 10.04 implies, april [09:46] Lucid in April, right? [09:46] I think is better to install ubutu again [09:46] l3ns: then alt+f2 update-manager -d [09:46] 10.04 (year.month) [09:47] when is firefox 3.6 going to be in the repo? [09:48] hi [09:48] tm^x: It won't, we don't get new versions unless it's part of a security upgrade or major bug fix [09:48] l3ns: I don't think you can upgrade directly to karmic. You'll have to go to 8.10, then to 9.04, then to 9.10 [09:48] simple question I'm sure, I've searched all I can but am still having trouble with permissions [09:49] if I sudo chown 777 /Share [09:49] damnit. what is the chmod number for /dev/null [09:49] EastDallas, got it mate, it's showing 8.10 now.. [09:49] shouldn't that give me full access for all users? [09:49] i think its 000 [09:49] newbuntuser, chown -R username /foldername/ [09:49] newbuntuser: I wrote a tutorial on file permission: http://ardchoille42.blogspot.com/2009/08/linux-file-permissions.html === RaiN is now known as Guest90234 [09:49] oh -R [09:49] l3ns: I totally forgot that wasn't selected by default. [09:49] rumpsy?? [09:50] newbuntuser: it should be chmod not chown [09:50] rumpsy?? [09:50] are you there? [09:50] Guest90234: What, who are you? [09:51] This is RaiN [09:51] Hi. I downloaded java jre 1.6.18 and unpacked it but when i do java -version from any place of the system i get the version 1.6.15 [09:51] EastDallas, thanks =) [09:51] how do i uninstall 15? [09:51] how are you rumpsy? [09:51] so sudo chown user /folder [09:52] Guest90234: o_O , fine don't confuse me [09:52] I cant use my Name :( [09:52] dunno why [09:52] ardchoille: hmm ok [09:53] back to our topic .. can we?! [09:53] East Dallas: I can access it fine with sudo sh, but not without sudo [09:53] you have to register [09:53] how? [09:53] !register | Guest90234 [09:53] Guest90234: Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. Registration help available in #freenode [09:53] RaiN appears in my Screen .. [09:53] What client you are using? [09:53] it's a mount point, could that be why? === EmperiuM is now known as emperium === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz [09:54] empathy [09:55] follow those rules, and register you nick [09:55] Netbeans 6.8 is out. Still 6.7 in synaptic. Can I somehow upgrade (through the package manager) to 6.8 ? [09:55] newbuntuser: chmod -R 755 mydirectory [09:55] I am in synaptic packager manger now rumpsy [09:56] EastDallas, is it possible to go back to 8.04 after upgrading to 8.10? [09:56] what will I do next? [09:56] newbuntuser: you want to give everyone access to the directory and it's contents, correct? [09:56] Do you want to remove that linux kernel, which you installed recently [09:56] l3ns: not that i'm aware of, not without reinstalling. [09:56] yes! [09:56] the old version I think [09:56] l3ns: no [09:56] the .14 [09:57] Which one you want to remove [09:57] hmm EastDallas rww okay... [09:57] .14 [09:57] Thanks EastDallas. You just solved my problem before I could finish typing it. :) [09:57] EastDallas Here it was: "I was using fedora and made a few folders and now I switched to Ubuntu and it's saying I cant access them because I'm not the owner. Can anyone help?" [09:58] wait [09:58] Student, access them in terminal with sudo? [09:58] EastDallas: yes all so I can change with file manager [09:58] okay [09:58] Student: well, that's one way to solve it....you can change ownership using chown [09:58] EastDallas: using my user account not rood [09:58] root [09:58] soreau, thanks you pushed me in the right direction! mupen64plus.conf doesn't seem to have any joy mappings by default, so I originally tried to edit blight_input.conf which was referenced as the input plugin from mupen64plus.conf but swapping the buttons 4 and 5 ( A and B ) had no effect -- BUT the file mupen64plus.cfg did have the mappings and making the swap worked :) Thanks again. [09:59] EastDallas: Yeah I still need to read up on the commands parameters. [09:59] does ubuntu 9.10 don't support Restart? [09:59] EastDallas: It's a mount point so -R might not be ideal right? [09:59] newbuntuser: you should be able to access after modifying the permissions using chmod. [09:59] Guest90234, you can use reboot instead. [09:59] Guest90234: search that in synaptic package manager [09:59] newbuntuser: Do you need to take ownership or change permissions? [10:00] Eremite how will I do that? [10:00] Student: sudo nautilus gives you a filemanager with root rights. Then set ownership of the files to your user. [10:00] !gksudo [10:00] 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) [10:00] what am I going to search rumpsy? [10:00] newbuntuser: the -R would be appropriate is you want to change all of the contents to777, but that's pretty unlikely. [10:00] luxoFlux: Thanks for the advice. I'll keep that in mind. [10:00] East Dallas: chmod has no effect, and no error! [10:00] Type reboot instead of restart? You were asking about terminal commands, no? [10:01] Guest90234:linux-image-2.6.28-14-generic [10:01] i believe that one is old [10:01] What is the best way to extract vobsubs on linux? [10:01] if you found that, remove it [10:01] EastDallas: I'd like to take ownership, I had to mount with sudo. So default was root then. maybe at mount time would be a way to set uid? [10:02] newbuntuser: exactly [10:02] Just to let you ubuntu users know I just installed ArchLinux it is not easy ;) [10:03] nothing appears [10:03] but when I try ubuntu, linux 2.6.31-14-generic it appears [10:03] okay remove it [10:03] Guest90234: ^^ [10:04] newbuntuser: you should be able to add uid= to the mount command [10:04] why won't Ubuntu recognise my 4gb of RAM? [10:04] !mount | newbuntuser [10:04] newbuntuser: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [10:04] No more like you have to configure xorg which is your x windows system and grub and rc.conf when all that is done by the Ubuntu install [10:05] zetheroo, did you install the 64 bit or 32 bit ubuntu?

[10:06] coz_: well it says 2.9GB here ... [10:06] is there a trick I can use to see if a file is a binary or a txt? [10:06] zetheroo, ok is this a 64 bit system? [10:06] coz_: how can i get the most out of my 4GB? [10:06] well, check it before you have .17 installed [10:06] coz_: dunno ... C2D [10:06] 32 bits is 4 gig in actual fact - there's some bios or other consideration that limits 32bit to 3.5gig [10:06] if then , unistall, or remove [10:06] zetheroo, well if the system is 64 bit then download and install the 64 bit edition of ubunti [10:06] zetheroo, hold on [10:06] hello [10:07] coz_: its a laptop .. Thinkpad R61 ... [10:07] apt-get install or apt-get remove [10:07] ubotto:I'm attaching a shared drive to a folder [10:07] i like thinkpad Laptops [10:07] hmmm [10:07] !apt-get [10:07] APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit.

I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots [10:08] rumpsy: haha [10:08] !virtual box [10:08] newbuntuser is this an ntfs volume?

[10:09] Virtualbox is a sandbox and will not spread a virus to rest of your computer...that bot won't tell you that [10:09] zetheroo, in terminal uname -m [10:09] does 64bit Ubuntu work as well as the 32bit version? [10:09] sudo mount -o uid=1000 -t vboxsf desktop /home/xuse/Desktop/macdesktop/ finally worked [10:10] Its like emulator like, you can install windows in linuxBOx using VirtualBox [10:10] coz_: i686 [10:10] newbuntuser: cool [10:10] zetheroo: Yes, on 64 bit hardware [10:10] txh fer helping me think about it [10:10] rumpsy: I use playonlinux much better runs wine ;) [10:10] zetheroo, mm that is 32 bit [10:10] weird chmod didn't do anything [10:11] coz_: so i cannot even use a 64bit OS on this machine? [10:11] zetheroo, correct === xomas_ is now known as xomas [10:11] newbuntuser: are you using su or sudo??? === Guest90234 is now known as RaiN [10:11] archboxman: sudo, is su better? [10:12] << does it change to RaiN ?? [10:12] zetheroo, when you boot into ubuntu there is a memory test option [10:12] pranav: In simple its a package which helps to run two types of OS in a single windows === RaiN is now known as Guest17405 [10:12] coz_: what would the point be of creating a machine that can use 4GB of RAM but will not allow any OS that utilises that RAM!? very strange [10:12] pranav: In simple its a package which helps to run two types of OS in a single window [10:12] newbuntuser: I had a similar prob before with an ntfs partition, and I had to take ownership, couldn't do anything else. I used ntfs-config....I had just started using ubuntu. [10:12] I mean singleBox [10:12] zetheroo, well that's a good question... I have no answer for you thouogh.... [10:12] ewook: su is for root commands and sudo runs one root command === Guest17405 is now known as RaiN88 [10:13] if you don't know about virtualBox don't mess with it [10:13] zetheroo, just to be on the safe side...when you boot into ubuntu there should be a memory test option...you could run that to be sure all memory is fine...however it still wont recognize 4 gigs [10:13] Leave that ! [10:13] zetheroo: The T9300 supports 64bit just fine. [10:13] Netbeans 6.8 is out. Still 6.7 in synaptic. Can I somehow upgrade (through the package manager) to 6.8 ? [10:13] now upgrade firefox to 3.6 my os ubuntu 9.10 ? [10:13] rww, ah cool [10:13] rww: does it? [10:13] ewook: in some linux installs you have to add urself to the sudo group ,but Ubuntu does it for you [10:13] zetheroo: yes [10:13] zetheroo, there you go [10:13] coz_: cool [10:13] hey rww o/ [10:14] coz_: uname gives the architecture of the current OS, not whether the machine itself is 64-bit capable. [10:14] rww: do I have to reinstall everything from scratch? ... can i just upgrade or something to 64bit? [10:14] rww, how about uname -r [10:14] EastDallas: it's alla bout permissions eh? I'd still like to see things more simple with permissions, 1 plus 3 plus 4 equals 7, of course!! [10:14] zetheroo: you have to reinstall [10:14] rww, right forgot about that I am thinking dmidecode may help not sure [10:14] !help [10:14] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [10:14] newbuntuser: haha [10:14] indus: all of the various uname parameters give the architecture of the current OS. [10:14] !firefox [10:14] firefox is the default web-browser on Ubuntu. To install the latest version, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion Installing plugins: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxPlugins - See also !firefox-3.5 [10:14] rww, hmm yes [10:15] zetheroo, download the 64 bit edition of ubuntu and burn that to cd [10:15] indus: the point of uname is to give OS info, not machine info :) [10:15] rww: can 64bit run everything that 32bit does in Ubuntu? [10:15] zetheroo, you could try installing linux kernel pae. i use 32 bit ubuntu with this kernel to use the whole 4GB.(saying this just in case no one told you this) [10:15] zetheroo, then reinstall the entire system [10:15] dnivra: so there is a 32bit kernel that can use all 4GB of RAM? [10:16] archboxman: ? [10:16] I use firefox 3.5 on archlinux becuase they use bleeding edge packages kinda weird [10:16] ewook: ues [10:16] yes [10:16] EastDallas: now hopefully it will be persistent upon reboot [10:16] zetheroo: there are a tiny number of packages in the 32-bit repositories that aren't in the 64-bit repositories. You will likely never come across them. [10:16] Oh so thats what the PAE kernel does... :) [10:16] zetheroo: most everything, so almost [10:16] zetheroo, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1312763 [10:16] zetheroo: try to install 32-bit kernel [10:16] zetheroo, not exactly but yeah there is a way to use the whole 4GB ram in 32 bit systems. [10:16] archboxman: you're tabbing wrong. [10:16] zetheroo, I have not tried that however [10:16] zetheroo, 32 bit OS Ubuntu version* [10:16] Guest34402: http://www.getfirefox.com [10:16] <<< Am I now RaiN ??? [10:17] ewook: what do you mean??? explain [10:17] dnivra: so what I am running is not 32bit OS? [10:17] dnivra: any clue as to what's involved in enabling the last 0.5 gig on 32 bit? [10:17] archboxman: you're spamming me. I haven't asked anything. [10:17] zetheroo, you are running 32 bit OS [10:17] frogzoo: to enable more than 3.5 gig of ram you either need to use the 32bit PAE kernel, or install a 64bit OS [10:18] zetheroo, in terminal do sudo dmidecode and move down to the Processor Informatoin [10:18] so why are people saying to install the 32bit kernel ? [10:18] frogzoo, for me it's satisfaction that ubuntu is detecting the whole 4GB and not just win [10:18] ikonia: interesting.. [10:18] zetheroo: in to app of 64bit you have to install a lib ! [10:18] coz_: ok [10:18] zetheroo, 32 bit PAE kernel I think is what they mean. [10:18] Netbeans 6.8 is out. Still 6.7 in synaptic. Can I somehow upgrade (through the package manager) to 6.8 ? [10:18] zetheroo, under "Family" it should tell you the type of processor you have onboard [10:18] ewook: sorry, I use irssi for irc and I have a yellow background picture with yellow highlights for names sorry hard to read names with have to change picture or theme??? Sorry ;) [10:19] archboxman: if you're running from a x-terminal, just change it to white text, and black background.. [10:19] Guest34402: They may not put Firefox 3.6 in the repositories for Karmic. Ubuntu likes to approve certain versions of applications for each version of Ubuntu, and only release security updates and bug fixes. [10:19] coz_: Other - ha [10:19] archboxman: i tag you, i like irssi [10:19] zetheroo, it says "other" ? [10:19] coz_: yeah [10:19] ewook: great program thanks for the advice ;) [10:19] zetheroo, what is the make and model of this again? [10:20] archboxman: I know. I run it too. [10:20] cant beat irssi [10:20] coz_: Intel C2D T9300 2.5GHZ 6MB Cache [10:20] ;0 [10:20] zetheroo, no i menat the laptop itself [10:20] neverminde [10:20] coz_: Thinkpad R61 [10:21] ewook: dont know why people complain about irssi hard to set up found it easy to setup and run [10:21] how do i get sudo rights in ubuntu to write within the file system explorer? [10:21] so i can copy to usr/ etc? [10:22] Copter: gksu nautilus [10:22] Can I somehow have update-grub add a line "savedefault 0" to all kernel entries? I know "savedefault" is possible, but I need "savedefault 0" [10:22] jellow: what? :o [10:22] Copter: if you don't know, you shouldn't be poking about there [10:22] coz_: in the other info it shows 2GB in each bank [10:22] how do I mount a usb storage device? http://paste.ubuntu.com/362501/ [10:23] Copter: Open terminal => gksu nautilus [10:23] adelie42: if it doesn't work when you plug it in, best you can do is hope for a kernel update [10:23] Copter: cp command to copy in terminal probably going to neeed to be su or sudo [10:23] zetheroo, right it should see it but a 32 bit OS cant use it all you need to go to ubuntu.com and download the 64 bit edition of ubuntu and install that [10:23] !copy [10:23] Hello, anyone know how to setup a proper apt server? (reprepro) [10:24] zetheroo, or change the kernel as suggested by dnivra [10:24] ok so the 64bit version of Ubuntu is as good as the 32bit version right? no incompatibilities or hardware issues etc? === oliver__ is now known as saftsack [10:24] zetheroo: You will have to install flash yourself. But it's not hard. [10:24] zetheroo, as far as I am aware it should be fine [10:24] zetheroo: no sometimes flash has issues [10:24] !bots | archboxman [10:24] archboxman: Hi!

[10:25] !iso | jellow [10:25] jellow, please see my private message [10:25] dnivra, I would guess that depends on how experienced he is no?

[10:26] zetheroo: I think skype doesn't run on 64 bits as it's not open source.

[10:27] luxoFlux: everyone is having trouble run skype in 64 along with flash [10:27] rumpsy: is that all? [10:27] archboxman: no they are not - please don't make stuff up [10:27] dnivra, you have the experience with installing this particular kernel I dont [10:27] archboxman: there are problems for some users, but it' snot everyone [10:27] yes, you have to install ia32 [10:27] Hi.

[10:31] brand0n: oh ok [10:31] 32bit kernels are prepared with limitations with 32bit processor! its not fit for 64bit until you install 64bit kernel [10:31] adelie42: Or youc an use terminal [10:31] Jonathon: you don't have to do anything special, just burn it using nero, infrarecorder, or whatever software you like [10:32] rumpsy: so will it damage my hardware to do this? [10:32] brand0n: I'm trying to, but I cannot find the list of sessions I could use. Where is it in Ubuntu Karmic? [10:32] zetheroo, I have heard nothing wrong with using the PAE kernel...however I have no experience with it at all so any suggestions at this point are going to be from those that have used it :) [10:32] All this talk of installing 64 bit Ubuntu is making me think of switching. :P [10:32] zetheroo: no, but your memory will not be used fully [10:33] coz_: no worries .. thanks for all your help :) [10:33] rumpsy: so it will but it won't ... [10:33] zetheroo, no problem and good luck with whichever diceision you make [10:33] I don't think I need to switch since there isn't mtoo much of a performance difference.

[10:41] Student: Yes i don't have it. My previous install had it. [10:41] zetheroo, but as rumpsy said the 32 bit might not be the best on the 64bit architecture. I've not used the 64 bit version so I don't know. I'm happy it works faster that win vista 64 bit so don't wanna change. never had the need to change.

Go to synaptic package manager and search for system-services [10:42] !img | jellow [10:42] zetheroo, they do make a point here.... since you have 64 bit architecture it may be best to use the 64 bit ubuntu and other than having to install flash manually... apparenlty it works just as well :) [10:42] Student : thanks [10:43] luxoFlux: Np just let me know if it helps :) [10:43] jellow: There is no such ubottu command as "!img" [10:43] Student: Any way to get that on Karmic? [10:43] ardchoille: Get what? [10:43] coz_: except for skype!? [10:43] zetheroo, rather you have 64 bit hardware [10:43] Student: system-services [10:43] zetheroo, oh mmmm [10:44] ardchoille: I'm on Jaunty but it should work for Karmic too [10:44] zetheroo, then the other alternative is to do nothing [10:44] theadmin, I hope somebody could find I fix for it, been solving it for 1 week, and still the freezing occurs [10:44] !info system-services [10:44] Package system-services does not exist in karmic [10:44] zetheroo, and just accespt the amount of memory recognized and go from there [10:44] Student: ^^ [10:44] atomfox: Usually it's something with hardware [10:44] ardchoille: Hmm interesting. [10:44] theadmin: i know was jut a shot in the dark trying to mount an .img [10:45] Student: could be due to the move away from sysinit system [10:45] jellow, you need something like cdemu [10:45] theadmin, I'm not sure, how about you? do you still experience it? [10:45] jellow: IMG? You can try "mount -o loop file.img ~/somedir", but I don't know... this works with ISO's [10:45] ardchoille: I decided not to go to karmic because it didn't work for me too well. Maybe since It's been a while I'll give it another try. [10:45] atomfox: Rarely [10:45] theadmin, highly doubt that will work [10:46] a freshly installed server 9.10 just shows GRUB_ and nothing else at boot ... i already reinstalled, same error. any ideas? [10:46] ardchoille: Are you having any troubles with: 9.10? [10:46] psycho_oreos: just convert it to iso [10:46] Student: Not a bit [10:46] jellow: Actually, try to get disc images in ISO format, those are only ones that get mounted for me [10:46] jellow, yeah that is another way, maybe with binchunker :) [10:46] is there a bug in chown? I type chown and the first two or three characters of the user, hit tab and user\: comes up. then I try adding the same user as the group and tab doesn't accept it. what gives? [10:46] Student: But I build my own computers from parts that I already know work with Ubuntu [10:46] ardchoille: Hmm well in a bit I think I'll give 9.10 64 bit a try. Thanks :) [10:47] theadmin: tried that kept asking for a filesystem [10:47] jellow: Ah, then it's not gonna work :/ [10:47] ardchoille: I think I first tried when it was an alpha so.... [10:47] jellow, though the good thing about cdemu is that it has the capability to emulate a virtual cd/dvd drive.. much like like how daemontools work on win32 [10:47] Student: yeah, I didn';t install it until this month, didn't want any of the hassle others were having [10:48] Student : no that package doesn't exist on my system. [10:48] What is the proper way to mount an NTFS filesystem? "ntfs-3g /dev/somedrive" or "mount /dev/somedrive"? [10:48] theadmin: lol [10:48] luxoFlux are you on 9.10? [10:48] theadmin, either will work I think.. though ntfs-3g is probably better than ntfs itself [10:48] rumpsy: Uh... huh? [10:48] hi people I'm trying to compile my first kernel and was wondering if i need to provide support for both x86 and x64 or would x64 be enough? [10:48] theadmin: sudo fdisk -l [10:48] Miracle, depends on your applicants [10:49] rumpsy: That lists, not mounts [10:49] psycho_oreos: sounds usefull , will have a look [10:49] Miracle, s/applicants/applications [10:49] theadmin: then, look what drive you want [10:49] Student: yes desktop iso [10:49] jellow, the only downfall is that getting it to work is quite awkward, just be forewarned [10:49] rumpsy: Uh... no, I just ask what is the proper command to mount NTFS [10:49] luxoFlux I was told that specific package isn't on 9.10. I'll try to find it out. [10:49] theadmin: this is command, sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /home/theadmin/mounted [10:49] theadmin, mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/ /mnt/some_point [10:50] psycho_oreos ok are there apps that only work in x86 or usually there both? [10:50] rumpsy: /home/theadmin doesn't exist. Why not use ~? This would be more universal. [10:50] Miracle, not off my head, but moreso are the drivers that could be an issue for example [10:50] is there an Ubuntu chat for the 64bit version? [10:50] theadmin: ^^, that was an example, you have to choose exact hdd and location to mount [10:50] oreo ah ok thx [10:50] zetheroo: this is it [10:50] zetheroo: There are many IM clients for x64 ubuntu [10:51] theadmin: got it? worked? [10:51] Miracle, nw.. technically 32bit can be run under 64bit platform but it may get slowed down.. if you're using ia64 the lag is very evident but that sort of hardware is fairly rare [10:51] Myrtti: ah .. ok ... you use 64bit? I just want to know all the gory details of what does NOT work :) [10:51] psycho_oreos: - hey what prog is that cdemu i use to use daemon tools and loved it [10:51] rumpsy: Yep. Thanks. [10:51] theadmin: I was not asking for an IM client ;) [10:51] zetheroo: Then what? o_O [10:52] zetheroo: everything works. [10:52] zetheroo: that is, everything I've thrown at it [10:52] luxoFlux Sorry I cant find anything for 9.10. Maybe someone else knows. [10:52] hiexpo, yeah its cdemu, but cdemu is only CLI front-end.. daemontools is more like GUI frontend.. to this date I haven't found a decent equivalence to it apart from cdemu itself [10:52] Myrtti: repos the same? what about Skype? [10:53] ok kool and where did ya get it in the rep's ? [10:53] zetheroo: 1) yes, 2) skype has a 64-bit version [10:53] zetheroo, think its the same, except instead of it being marked as i386 its marked as x86-64.. unless otherwise it comes from ppa [10:53] Myrtti: Are you using 9.10? [10:53] zetheroo: only thing I've done differently is that I got the alpha flash plugin from labs.adobe.com. Some people use other methods. [10:53] Student: yes? [10:53] i found it thanks [10:54] hiexpo, you'll need to search for it and add ppa keys :) but like I said, I have to warn you its not easy to get it working right :) [10:54] How do i install a deb package from the sehell ? [10:54] rww: awesome .. so skype for Linux 64bit [10:54] melchior, dpkg -i [10:54] Myrtti: Ok now I'll update to 9.10 64 bit for sure. I am on 9.04 32 bit now and wanted to know another users opinnion. [10:54] melchior, err add sudo in front [10:54] Hello folks... [10:54] no prob i'll get it working :) [10:54] melchior: you'll need sudo for that [10:54] Myrtti: ok ... so flash is really a pain in the rear ...

Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [10:57] How do I get the prompt back?

[10:58] Hello all. [10:59] rechael2, did you read the man page for that? [10:59] rechael2, sorry [10:59] rww: ok .. sounds promising .. so with 64bit Ubuntu things should really fly .... that's the point of it right? ... I mean I mean I got a 2x2GB kit of ram so that dual channel would work ... [10:59] recon69_lap, did you read the man page? [10:59] I want to delete a directory which has drwxr-xr-x. How do I do that? [10:59] zetheroo: I haven't noticed any appreciable difference in speed. [10:59] Does 9.10 allow you to encrypt your home directory in the installer. So that I don't have to use an alternative cd? [10:59] Student: yes [10:59] hi all. I have a directory tree that I need to 'clean' of .svn subdirectories. Can I do that without a script? [11:00] rww: Thanks [11:00] rww: oh? ... humph ...

[11:01] meco: because you should be using sudo, not su. [11:01] Hi! Someone knowns how to use NetworkManager/nm-applet for VPN only, and leave the network device unmanaged?

[11:03] researcher1: Dual Boot? [11:03] rww: I want to delete a directory which has drwxr-xr-x. [11:03] I can reach samba servers on debian lenny with smbtree (doing broadcast), but i can't reach samba servers running on karmic - though access and name resolving works, in case you know the hostname. Local network is an ipv4 network, however karmic samba listens on an ipv6 address - this shouldn't be a problem theoretically, but seems to be practically. What can I do on which side to solve this? [11:03] Can some1 help me please, after ubuntu 9.10 install i cant boot from grub to windows xp? It doesn't give any error messages just reloads grub again? Here is disk info's: http://paste.ubuntu.com/362528/ - http://paste.ubuntu.com/362530/ [11:03] pat|nG, you can use either gdm or kde it shouldnt matter [11:03] pat|nG, kdm is prettier :) [11:03] meco: if you own it, you should just be able to do "rm -r directoryname". If not, "sudo rm -r directoryname". [11:04] researcher1: http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_linux_and_windows_xp_linux_installed_first.htm [11:04] rww: It worked! === testi_ is now known as thechef [11:05] Say I have a text file with semi-private info in (login names, unimportant passwords, bank account numbers (but no passwords, just so I can copy-paste them)), but I still don't want it to be accessible to anyone who walks by the machine - is there a reasonable and simple way to password protect it? I chown'd it to root:root, but I'm not sure if that really makes any sense. [11:05] What's the command to see how much free hard disk space there is? [11:05] Am having a very weired problem. I have a cdma broadband internet connection via an express card which works well. The connection is disconnected when ever I connect a network cable on the same computer. Is it that I cannot use the broadband card and connect to my network at the same time? [11:05] read on a blog that 64bit ubuntu "lacks tickless" so laptops will experience less battery power [11:05] is this still an issue? [11:06] Oh, and I usually access the file with "cat" in the terminal. [11:06] meco: df [11:06] ok [11:06] meco: (stands for Disk Free) === Omar87___ is now known as Omar87 [11:06] zetheroo, how important is the lapttop install you have now? [11:06] meco: if you do "df -H", it'll use more readable units. [11:07] coz_: haha ... uh .. only my main machine :) [11:07] anyone here? [11:07] zetheroo, one of the best ways I know to find out if issues show up is to actually give it a try...you already have the 32 bit cd ...download the 64 bit cd and install it and test it :) you can always reinstall the 32 bit if you prefer that :) [11:07] jenda: Try pwsafe instead of a text file [11:07] rww: I set up 8.04 on a 10GB partition. Now there's about 5.5 GB free. Is that enough to install 9.10 in addition? [11:08] meco, you would be cutting it a bit close ...not much room for downloads etc [11:08] meco: It's doable, but I wouldn't recommend it. [11:08] coz_:: installing an OS is not the issue .. I have a lot of data and a lot of apps installed and configured as I want ... I wipe this system and start afresh means a lot more work than just installing an OS [11:08] coz_: Right [11:08] rww: ok [11:09] zetheroo, ah ok that's probably what I meant about how important this install is [11:09] coz_: I have learned in Linux to really make sure making a change is going to make things better and not worse ... :) [11:10] Can I have update-grub add "savedefault 1" to every entry in menu.lst instead of just "savedefault"? [11:10] zetheroo, you should also keep in mind that backing up is part of the deal... I generally go by "if I cannot reinstall at any given moment I am probably doing something wrong " [11:11] zetheroo, many applications have settings you can back up for reinstallation [11:11] coz_ couldn't you make a separate partition for your home directory and keep files there then install ubuntu again and tell it not to touch the partition? (Just curious) [11:11] coz_: yes ... [11:11] Student, that is alwyas an option [11:12] coz_: also living in Australia means I have sucky Internet ... :P ... so yeah ... just making sure its going to be worth it ... it sounds good ... but then again people are saying they have not been noticing any performance diff ... [11:13] zetheroo, well your issue isnt performance but rather the system recognizing all of the memory right? [11:13] i'm having trouble installing git-daemon-run [11:13] hello again, i can't get gksu -u user to work [11:13] for some reason when I do dpkg --listfiles git-daemon-run [11:13] coz_: the only reason I want the system to use all the RAM is for higher performance :) [11:13] im using xChat how do i make this log in [11:13] and it clearly stats /etc/sv/git-daemon/run should be installed [11:13] homeboy: just use gksu [11:13] when i load it [11:14] i've tried reinstalling, and dpkg-reconfigure but the /etc/sv/git-daemon/run folder is never installed. [11:14] but i need just if my gf tries to launch picasa, it asks for password [11:14] any password that she don't know will do [11:14] zetheroo, mm ok understood... then the choice is dependent of if you want to go through the installation procedure and test the 64 bit version or not right ? [11:15] homeboy: remove your gf name from sudo [11:15] coz_: yep ... choices choices :) ... I am looking up performance benchmarks online ... interesting stuff ... [11:17] homeboy:goto useraccount, and then choose your gf account and uncheck administrate system in properties [11:17] zetheroo, tthe most comprehensive benchmark is this one http://www.phoronix-test-suite.com/ however it is a pain in the butt ,,,my opinion [11:18] Can some1 help me please, after ubuntu 9.10 install i cant boot from grub to windows xp? It doesn't give any error messages just reloads grub again after pressing enter on windows xp? Here is disk info's: http://paste.ubuntu.com/362528/ - http://paste.ubuntu.com/362530/ [11:18] coz_: oh yeah ...? ... ok well I was looking for benchmark results ... I don't really want to do all that work - ha [11:19] zetheroo, oh ok :) [11:19] lol [11:20] lol [11:20] how do I force reinstallation of a package if it is not installing a file that is clearly one in dpkg --listfiles [11:20] is there a way to reset dpkg or apt-get? [11:21] coz_: found this ... PAE kernel and 64bit kernel run very close http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ubuntu_32_pae&num=1 [11:21] yesterday my modem failed to connect. I tinkered a bit and believe that it is because of a website stopbadware.org cookies. Now my connection has resumed surprisingly. can someone say what this stopbadware.org is about please? [11:21] landswipe, man dpkg might help [11:21] sudo apt-get purge [11:21] coz_: well on the first one anyhow .. ha [11:21] that will remove all of it to start a fresh install [11:22] indus: what am I looking for? [11:22] zetheroo, interesting...so not too much difference at all [11:22] zetheroo, so the decision is do you need the recognized memory for just everyday stuff then [11:22] hey! what has happened to firestarter? a new version is not available! [11:22] landswipe, tried dpkg -force? [11:23] zetheroo: http://pastebin.com/m4ade9c24 add this to your menu.lst, and see if you can boot any of these entrys (done quick, 1 or two are wong for sure...) [11:23] Hi I Have A lot of .deb files and i have created Packages.gz file . now i want to make Release File What Should I DO ? [11:23] coz_: well yeah .. I am looking at where the main differences of performance come into the picture [11:23] landswipe, use at your own risk, i have no idea how it works [11:23] hmm, avg reporting nothing. is it actually scanning anything? [11:23] nibbler: uhm ... what? [11:24] zetheroo, I would use that last link as a reliable source [11:24] landswipe: you could use sudo apt-get purge target-app tor unistall and delete all conf files [11:24] zetheroo: sorry [11:24] zilkomaa: http://pastebin.com/m4ade9c24 add this to your menu.lst, and see if you can boot any of these entrys (done quick, 1 or two are wong for sure...) [11:24] ah that sounds like it [11:24] coz_: sorry what link? [11:24] landswipe to start a fresh install [11:24] zetheroo, http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ubuntu_32_pae&num=1 [11:25] that did it ;) [11:25] apt-get purge is to remove all old files with configuration [11:25] thanks for the 'purge' hint [11:25] i had to use it today [11:25] coz_: that's what I am looking at :) [11:26] landswipe no prob [11:26] indus yes [11:27] let's say i have a /dev/sda4 partition, that makes it hd(0,3 or 4)? [11:27] yeah no need of using apt-get remove -purge [11:27] works directly [11:28] i'm in a way of processing my installation to ubuntu in terminal...and got stuck in this setting up gnome-pilot-conduits.....processing triggers for python-support....then pating@pating:~$ what will i do next!?

[11:30] pat|nG you should have google pure ubuntu [11:30] pat|nG, if it comes back to $ then its [11:30] pat|nG you should have google pure gnome [11:30] it is [11:30] sudo apt-get --purge remove kdelibs4c2a kdelibs5-data && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [11:31] then got back to root:~$ [11:31] pat|nG, ya its done [11:31] bet it's finished isn't it?

[12:31] okay [12:31] saviorfromthenor: i tend to find that VB teaches bad programming habbits.. Python tries to teach good habbits [12:31] like Dr_Willis said, there are tons of examples and tutos on the net [12:31] YES! [12:31] that is so true [12:31] saviorfromthenor: python is avail for windows also :) [12:32] One good thing, you don't have to declare variables on python like VB6 [12:32] its okay, i really want to move to linux [12:32] virus issues is so overwhelming these days [12:32] oh [12:33] just to remember that Linux also have virus, its way hard to get one but, still exists... [12:33] so a few secutiry procedures are always welcome [12:33] of course some of the 'viruses' mentioned for linux.. are like 5+ yrs old.. and only affected one specific disrto and one specific 'service'.... :) [12:33] Dr_Willis, thats right, but they're out there... just waiting... [12:33] yeah, but i believe that destructive linux users is remote [12:34] waiting to find somthing with a 2.1 kernel and bind 1.00000.1.00000 [12:34] :) [12:34] LOL [12:34] saviorfromthenor: the biggest danger to your linux box will be YOU. :) [12:34] lol [12:34] I read somewhere that a Guy pis*** of made a few linux virus showing that is possible [12:34] you guys are so kind [12:35] Dr_Willis: do you know what hd_media is about [12:35] http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/karmic/main/installer-i386/current/images/hd-media/ [12:35] even the definiton of a 'virus' these days is often muddy. [12:35] has anybody successfully done a squashfs/unionfs mount of /usr on karmic? [12:35] what is that? [12:35] aparently it will help me boot server from usbstick [12:35] sabgenton: no idea really. Looks liek it might be for some netboot [12:36] I just got a full usb install of ubuntu going [12:36] sabgenton: some minimal setup to get to the rest ot the thing [12:36] and I was thinking of squashing /usr [12:36] im running my ubuntu from a usb [12:36] saviorfromthenor, cool me too [12:36] sabgenton Those files let you boot off of a cd\dvd usb etc [12:36] are you running the liveusb version or a vanilla install? === polargus is now known as retry [12:36] polargus, why would you squash your /usr ?? [12:36] i think its a liveusb [12:36] Student: where can I learn more about its purpose [12:37] AndreMorro[BR], to reclaim space [12:37] you have limited space on a usb [12:37] Indeed... [12:37] yeah [12:37] also I read that a squashed filesystem reads faster [12:37] Student:hd-media [12:37] and is less wear on the usb stick [12:37] Ok, you convinced me [12:37] i have a question for that about space in the usb [12:37] saviorfromthenor, what does your fstab look like? [12:38] sabgenton looking for a site with the info [12:38] I used ext4 and turned journaling off [12:38] when i uninstall a software the free space doesnt change [12:38] and also set up sysctl to sync to the drive less [12:38] it helped [12:38] saviorfromthenor, yeah you can't reclaim free space on the squashed mount [12:38] only the overlay [12:38] i see [12:38] so if you installed something after the squash into the overlay [12:38] you can reclaim space from the overlay [12:38] to reclaim space from the squashed part, you have to recompress [12:39] that is why I did the vanilla install [12:39] I wanted to remove all the stuff I dont want first [12:39] then? [12:39] sorry to be a newbie [12:39] well now I'm contemplating the squashmount [12:39] Student: thanks man! [12:39] sabgenton: http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/SYSLINUX may be of some help [12:39] but I dont know...I read mixed stuff about it succeeding in karmic [12:39] also unionfs does not seem aailable [12:40] there's some other aufs or something [12:40] its just im so tired of xp [12:40] what's wrong with XP? [12:41] i'm not an OS fanboy...I use them all...I just hate apple for political reasons [12:41] i feel its not what i need in the industry [12:41] linux is fun, but it's a lot of work to get right [12:42] Student: there must be a proper ubuntu write up on that repo [12:42] take this usb install...now granted I probably would have 10x more trouble getting XP on a usb key [12:42] an it's purpose [12:42] but the usb key install is not perfect...it flakes out sometimes [12:42] lol [12:42] Eh My computer rebooted. [12:42] after installing a 9.10 server i just had GRUB_ standing there at boot. i reinstalled, installed 9.04 (with lilo) and reinstalled again, no change [12:42] any ideas? [12:42] Student: there must be a proper ubuntu write up on that repo [12:43] sera, it's not much to go on [12:43] its actually those things retry that make a good programmer [12:43] I hate reboots [12:43] saviorfromthenor, what things? [12:43] sabgenton: So basically Intrid is a ramdisk. It then loads the linux kernel etc into memory. [12:43] How do I know if my PC is 32bit or 64bit? [12:43] meco what is your cpu? [12:43] Pentium something, not sure [12:43] the need to test your capabilities [12:43] does anyone know how do i kill apt-get? [12:44] The fact you can do an usb install and they work so well.. is amazing :) [12:44] meco, 32 bit [12:44] retry: OK [12:44] sabgenton: Like your Bios loads your Operating system or boot loader as the case may be. [12:44] tomkat, why would you want to kill it? [12:44] that's risky [12:44] meco: you might want to be more specific on what the cpu is.. :) [12:44] tomkat: doesn't pkill -9 apt-get work? [12:44] pentiums are 32 bit [12:44] meco: try a 64bit live cd.. see if it works. :P [12:45] Student: are u just talking about intrid in general or the intrid at that repo I linked to [12:45] ? [12:45] thanks i'lkl try [12:45] meco fire up konsole and type cat /proc/cpuinfo [12:45] hello, im having issued with buntu 9.10 and mic setup, before 9.10 in old audio panel i had a setting to change wheater i want to use line in or mic input on my sound blaster, now when i go to recording and try these settings, nothing changes, even when i amplify the mic to max i can barely record anything [12:45] and tell us what you get [12:45] !sound [12:45] retry: well, i know...that's why i ended up asking here ;-) [12:45] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [12:45] yeah i think the 64bit wont work, my old pc cant boot live cds [12:46] Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.00GHz [12:46] Ergo^ try some of those links [12:46] retry: operation not permitted [12:46] yup i was right 32bit definitely [12:46] sabgenton: That repo is the same thing I'm talking about. [12:46] LOL at that ;-) thats slightly outdated :P If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer) [12:46] I'll check Ubuntu's site and see if there is more info on it. [12:46] ok that intrid specifically [12:46] tomkat, why do you want to kill apt ? [12:46] i see [12:47] Ergo^, you're right...you need a pulse guide [12:47] pawel__ made this Samsung Lucido working under ubuntu, he set the mobile phone as Multimedia Player instead of USB-DISK, now he cad add things to the mobile, edit, and stuff [12:47] a lot of people have had probs with sound in karmic [12:47] !pulse [12:47] PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [12:47] retry: i could do it with with old gnome audio panel just fine, not sure how to change things here [12:47] uhm anyone want to suggest a good place to start learning python [12:47] Ergo^, you probably have an underlying problem if the gnome mixer is not working [12:48] if things are greyed out and whatnot [12:48] saviorfromthenor: other then google? :) [12:48] hehe, bringsup showmedo [12:48] saviorfromthenor: i always to to the 'python game of the week' page.. but then i waste hours playing tgames [12:48] i closed the terminal while apt-get was running, and now its still being used but invisible [12:48] retry: it IS working , i managed to amplify recording to max - but it sounds like a whisper now [12:48] saviorfromthenor, diveintopython.org [12:48] hello [12:48] Ergo^, hmm [12:48] wait [12:48] try to fire up the alsamixer [12:48] and see if you can crank levels tehre === root is now known as Guest83261 [12:48] sabgenton: Here you go: It's a hard disk kernel:http://do-it-blog.de/it-blog/linux-stuff/linux-iso-image-to-hard-disk-install [12:48] now when i try 'sudo synaptic' it wont let me have priveliges [12:49] go to cmdline and type alsamixer [12:49] it's a curses based UI [12:49] but pretty easy to work [12:49] tomkat ok then type sudo killall apt-get [12:49] retry: do you understand my problem?

[12:52] I generally use apt-get when i know exactly what I want and synaptic when I was to read all the neat descriptions or do a keyword search [12:52] like removing kde ...very useful to have synaptic for that [12:53] retry: You can do that in aptitude, on the command line. [12:53] there's a whole group section called kde desktop or something to that effect [12:53] so can I install windows 7 AFTER having installed ubuntu? I have xubuntu perfectly fine but I wonder if I could install windows 7 normally [12:53] ?

[12:54] i wish linux developers would come up with new things [12:54] retry: It has a curses UI, it's a command line tool just like apt-get is. [12:54] ok synaptic is a GTK version of aptidude [12:54] they do actually [12:54] theres always like 100 different programs that are slightly different forks from the original [12:54] No, it's not. heh [12:54] and all do the exact same thing [12:54] retry: yes I have cursed many times trying to use aptitude [12:54] No, they don't.

[13:00] no [13:00] very different [13:01] anyway need to get back on my project, thanks again retry and dr willis [13:01] puro inglihsssss [13:01] ok see ya [13:01] puro inglihsssss [13:01] atrl, First the ethX that will listen on for dhcp need to be a fixed IP, then you can edit the /etc/default/dhcp3-server [13:01] adiosssssssss [13:01] bexos [13:01] muakisss [13:01] casa besos [13:01] xD [13:01] atrl, theres a INTERFACES="" change it to "INTERFACES="ethX" [13:01] extraño el terra [13:01] AndreMorro[BR] I undersntand you [13:01] X must the the number of your interface [13:01] aprende ingles con vaughan :p [13:01] retry: heh it seems that alsamixer settings dont influence any pulseaudio settings, i could hear myself in speakers, but neither sound recorder or skype were able to record any sound :( [13:01] naaaaaaa [13:01] AndreMorro[BR] yes [13:01] casa, cabron [13:01] casa: stop it, or you'll be muted or removed from the channel. Please use English. [13:02] es imposible para mi [13:02] but then when you run this --> "dhcpd eth0" what are you doing ? [13:02] Ergo^, very odd..I really dont understand the alsa/pulse relationship that well [13:02] atrl, your asking eth0 to discover a IP from another server [13:02] lol\ [13:02] AndreMorro[BR] like a client ? [13:02] retry: yeah, me neither, it worked perfectly pre 9.10, now i cant adjust that at all from giu [13:02] not like a server ? [13:03] atrl, exactly [13:03] like a client [13:03] AndreMorro[BR] ok thanks you [13:03] atrl cuando escribiran en español [13:03] !es > casa [13:03] casa, please see my private message [13:03] casa com le hace dito, español e en #ubuntu-es [13:03] casa no puedes hablar español aquí [13:03] How can i stop pulse audio , It keeps respawning [13:03] hi there, I have been wondering for age : how can I get rid of old shorcuts in the Places menu ?

[13:05] atrl graciassssssssss [13:05] hi. in theory when the next LTS comes out should i be able to upgrade from Koala to LTS ? [13:05] some flash vids wont play on firefor/epiphany [13:05] dollarbang: Good'day seems to be working [13:05] haurra, you can open nautilus (file-browser) ant press Ctrl B, this opens a Places Organizer [13:05] steelnwool: yes [13:05] you can remove, add, change... [13:06] jellow: thank you, have a good day today, and a better one tomorrow [13:06] AndreMorro[BR]: very good [13:06] dollarbang: i shall indeed [13:07] ive searched the forums but i cant seem to find a fix some flash vids wont play on firefoxr/epiphany ...i did about:pluging and shockwave is installed and running. some videos will..some dont [13:07] AndreMorro[BR]: Heh - Ive never noticed that befor. :) [13:07] i want to cry, who can i contact about PA and ubuntu integration ? [13:07] am i missing a certain package or something? [13:07] Dr_Willis, the places editor? [13:08] keddddddy, it depends, you're trying to watch flash vids? or WMP vids? [13:08] AndreMorro[BR]: yea - i just drag/drop them to the sidebar in teh file manager to add new ones [13:08] I have some space shared via samba, it appears in my places Menu, but I would like to create a link to it from my desktop, is that even possible ? [13:08] for some reason now that I come to use the following command - mplayer mms://url -dumpstream -dumpfile foo.asf ........ i get "-dumpstream: command not found" ? is there something I need to re-install? [13:09] haurra, yeah you can, make a "Place" and place the location to the samba share [13:09] lsdluna, does the url have a ; in it? [13:09] haurra: i was able to drag/drop a icon from my places/bookmarks menu to the desktop just now [13:09] like "my Samba Share" - Location - smb://mysambaserver/share [13:09] can anyone solve me a problem i had updated new ubuntu and it is giving me a error that mounts listed in /etc/fstab cannot be mounted and giving a problem in swap [13:09] retry: no [13:09] haurra: but it seems to only work that way for mounted locations [13:10] sandeepb, can you be more specifc? [13:10] lsdluna, strange that it says command not found ont he flag right after the url [13:10] Hey guys! I need to give samba access to 15 users to a fileserver. I've setup 15 accounts with shell = usr/bin/nologin and with their home dirs = /var/samba/username - is it enough to enable the home dirs section of smb.conf?; i'm using karmic server [13:10] Dr_Willis: good, i've got a bunch of machines that i'm now thinking should have been LTS, so once i upgrade karmic, i'll just keep them at LTS. [13:10] karmic is not an LTS release [13:10] NoReflex: your best bet is to probably test. [13:10] not every release is LTS steelnwool [13:10] Dr_Willis: if I do this, it copies the content [13:10] retry: i did not suggest it was. [13:10] NoReflex: give them samba passwords with 'sudo smbpasswd -a username' also perhaps [13:11] i know. re-read what i asked and said. [13:11] haurra: Hmm thats annoying. :) [13:11] you said once you upgrade karmic, you'll keep them lts [13:11] retry: i asked if i could upgrade karmic to LTS. [13:11] haurra: there is a feature to make gnome show the mounted things on teh desktop automatically === cp is now known as Guest23170 [13:11] karmic is the latest distro [13:11] i understand. [13:11] AndreMorro: i updated ubuntu to karmic and when i reboot the system it giving an error saying one or more of the mounts listed in /etc/fstab cannot be mounted [13:11] you can wait for the next lts [13:11] <[Outcast]> I am trying to install a login screen theme, but gdmsetup does not show anything about themes. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? [13:11] i'm talking future tense. [13:11] Dr_Willis: I did smbpasswd -a username for all users...but no file was created in /etc/samba -do I have to look for it someplace else? [13:11] that wont be for a while [13:11] i know. [13:11] ah ok [13:12] retry: thanks, i just realised i didnt use the mms url, used the http one lol [13:12] haurra, you want a link of you share in the desktop?? [13:12] NoReflex: i think a lot of that is in /var/SOMTHING/samba [13:12] sorry I missed your original q [13:12] np. busy channel. [13:12] AndreMorro: its giving problem at swap mounting [13:12] AndreMorro[BR] are you really sure dhcdp eth0 is for the client, because I'm reading that dhclient eth1 es for client and dhcpd eth0 es for running the server [13:12] NoReflex: a read of the samba books avail in the samba-doc package may be worth while [13:12] AndreMorro[BR]: yes please [13:12] atrl, it doesn't matter which # you pick [13:12] it depends on the device you want to assign to which role [13:12] assuming you even have two NICs [13:12] Hi! So im trying to connect to my ubuntu from my windows pc, and i just installed samba, and it says a need some password and username. I tried the same as my username and password is for the ubuntu-comp, but it didnt work. What to do? [13:12] i just downloaded a theme and it is GDM-CompetingEntities.tar.gz how can i install it? it seems there's an error installing it... [13:12] NoReflex: I recall there being some trick to make the users home's be a default share they access also with some settings.. saves a little effort at times [13:13] NoReflex: /var/lib/samba has some neat configs also. :) that you proberly shouldnt be touching [13:13] atrl, so if you're trying to have a server route traffic, one NIC would face the WAN, the other would face the LAN and serve DHCP assignments [13:13] haurra, not sure how to do that... [13:13] haurra, never done links to a samba share [13:13] is there a way to be able to right-click on a file and select "open as root" or something ? [13:13] any1 else have choppy sound recently in several apps (vlc, sdl games, etc) I'm on Ubuntu 9.10 64bits... Just recently started having choppy sound [13:14] pat|nG: its very likely its a theme for the older versiion of gdm - the newer version in 9.10 is not very themeable [13:14] i see [13:14] zetheroo: i recall the ubuntu-tweak tool having a check box to add somthing like that. [13:14] retry yes I understand you but then with "dhcpd eth0" you server listen dhcpdiscover on eth0 interface [13:14] zetheroo: but i nevber tried that feature [13:14] Dr_Willis: ok thakns [13:14] Hi! So im trying to connect to my ubuntu from my windows pc, and i just installed samba, and it says a need some password and username. I tried the same as my username and password is for the ubuntu-comp, but it didnt work. What to do? [13:14] isn't it ? [13:15] atrl, you don't actually need to run any commands to run the server [13:15] zetheroo: thers also nautilus scripting features to add it. i recall there being some 'edit as root....' thing somewhere [13:15] phox_, samba has its own auth mechanism [13:15] although I think you can tweak it to use user accounts via pam or something [13:15] phox_: sudo smbpasswd -a user to set the samba password [13:15] retry: yea theres some way to sync the 2 passwords.. but ive never learned how. :) [13:15] Dr_Willis: yeah ... I thought I saw that somewhere at some point in time [13:15] Dr_Willis: okey! [13:15] can anyone teach me how to put some design apps on my gnome desktop? like i want to have a digital clock calendar and weather somethin? pls? [13:16] Dr_Willis, pam, LDAP (ycuk) [13:16] pat|nG: thers seeral ways to get widgits for the desktop. (i hate them all) google desktop can have widgits if ya want. [13:16] pat|nG, right click on a panel and add applets [13:16] there are applets for all that [13:16] pat|nG: or use conky for desktop gizmos [13:16] atrl, Basics: You install dhcp3-server, edit the "/etc/default/dhcp3-server" and modify the INTERFACES="" to your ethX that will listen on the network, then edit the /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf to configure the subnets and masks, the restart the dhcp3-server service... and it should flow [13:16] Dr_Willis, yeah willis most of the applets suck...tons of ram that is [13:16] Dr_Willis: okey, so i entered the ubuntu comp now. But there are no files on it! Which map am i currently reading, and how do i change that? [13:17] retry, am I right? [13:17] I perfer the good old Windowmaker warf docklets. [13:17] retry: i think the problem with PA right now is that its not setting correctly the capture device, while i set it to mic it probably still uses aux [13:17] doses ubuntu 9.10 server working as xen dom0 ? [13:17] AndreMorro[BR], you sound right...I'm not an expert on setting up dhcpd servers [13:17] phox_: where does it say you are at? did you make a share? or shareing what exactly? [13:17] I just use my router with tomato :/ [13:17] that's just zeroconfig [13:17] gotcha [13:17] what do yo call karmic [13:17] well, thats the way i usually do it... [13:17] the release name? [13:18] i mean is there an offical term for it? [13:18] I just downloaded a game (Savage 2) and it comes in a .bin file. What do I do with it? [13:18] !karmic [13:18] Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) is the current release of Ubuntu. Download: http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.10/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/910 [13:18] sabgenton, Karmic Coala (aka 9.10) [13:18] Dr_willis: i just installed samba from software center, and logged in. But the map i reach is blank! Can i configure this somehow so that i acces the external harddrive on the ubuntu comp? [13:18] meco: chmod +x whatever.bin then ./whatever.bin [13:18] yeah but is i call the release name [13:18] phox_: samba has 100000000's of configurations [13:18] Dr_Willis: OK [13:18] phox_: right click on a directroy. make a share out of it perhaps.. [13:19] Dr_willie: haha, yeah i though so xD OKey, ill try [13:19] ubuntu [13:19] is that how u would state it [13:19] sabgenton: the version # is the same as the date of release.. year.month [13:19] Ubuntu 9.04 = 2009, 4th month [13:20] apart from custom updating to 2.6.32 kernel, are there any way I can get KSM enabled in Karmic ? [13:20] ok ok didn't knwo that [13:20] date thing [13:20] sort of a pointless way to version things.. :) but so what. [13:20] ubuntu always releases in april and october [13:20] so 10.04 is right around the corner [13:20] just wanted to know the terminiolagy [13:21] what's the nick name gonna be for 10.04? [13:21] !lucid [13:21] 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 [13:21] leaping lemur? [13:21] oh [13:21] really [13:21] LOL [13:21] retry: Pukeing Platypus [13:21] Dr_willis: when i right click the external drive, then properties, where is the button to share it?:P [13:21] Leaping Lemur, LOL [13:21] codename [13:21] lynx is a bad choice [13:21] phox_: try a directoruy in the uysers home. for a test. [13:21] it's already a browser [13:21] lucid leopard [13:21] leopard is used by apple [13:21] would be a poke at apple [13:21] retry: and chromium is also a game.. :) [13:22] chromium is part of firefox [13:22] no no no [13:22] if you look into firefox internals [13:22] chromium theres NOTHING to firefox [13:22] retry: Thats 'chrome' [13:22] it uses a few engines... [13:22] and LOTS o custumizations [13:22] oh right chrome sorry [13:22] Pici, actually chrome is based on chromium [13:22] yes chrome is chromium [13:23] anyway, could anyone explain me how to get KSM enabled in 9.10 ? [13:23] worst named new 'thing' ===> .net :) and [13:23] but chrome in firefox is not chromium [13:23] that's what I was trying to say [13:23] Audible, KSM? [13:23] Its all offtopic, and I'd be glad to discuss in #ubuntu-offtopic, but lets keep #ubuntu free for support [13:23] Kernel Samepage memory [13:23] wow... [13:24] HNI [13:24] Have No Idea [13:24] what's KSM all about? [13:24] I think you can patch the kernel you're using, and recompiling [13:24] instead of upgrading [13:24] i havent tested it yet, but evidently it reuses the read-only pieces of memory to save memory [13:24] it's not memory [13:24] it's merging [13:25] ah :) [13:25] Kernel SamePage Merging is a recent linux kernel feature which combines identical memory pages from multiple processes into one copy on write memory region. [13:25] Audible, KSM is a 2.6.32 feature [13:25] that whats written in a few forums global [13:25] yeah, i know [13:26] i just wasnt sure if there was any nice little feature i could do so i didnt go through the whole recompile hassle [13:26] my system is already kinda stable ;) [13:26] I see, but it says that only 2.6.32 accepts such patch [13:26] why do you want it Audible [13:26] retry, to save memory [13:27] retry : launching multiple copies of a memory hogging application [13:27] AndreMorro[BR], I think it's only an advantage when virtualizing guests [13:27] retry, "it reuses the read-only pieces of memory to save memory" [13:27] KSM, an acronym for Kernel SamePage Merging, a feature of the Linux kernel allowing KVM guest virtual machines to share identical memory pages [13:27] hi there [13:27] I dont think it applies to regular applications [13:27] dingo, hi here [13:27] im back [13:28] i downloaded 64bit ubuntu ,burnt cd and inserted into my new core2quad pc [13:28] nothing happened:( [13:28] retry : i've heard from a guy that currently uses it that it works to vertain wine applications [13:28] my new pc detects the ubuntu 32bit cd [13:28] eeg wow [13:28] dingo, is your pc set to boot on CD first? [13:28] yeah [13:28] i am booted from 32bit ubuntut [13:28] and chatting here [13:28] hm... [13:28] but my new pc doesnt respond to the 64bit cd [13:28] dingo, maybe the 64bit burn simply failed [13:28] dingo, and what you mean with nothing happes? [13:28] got another 64bit machine around you can try to boot with it? [13:29] it says intel ... please insert boot device and restart [13:29] so I think retry is right [13:29] retry: yah my friend has [13:29] let me check [13:29] dingo I really think the cd medium is borked [13:29] maybe the recording went wrong [13:29] i too hope so [13:29] because if it was a 64 bit issue more likely it would at least get to the bootloader [13:29] and fail when you loaded the kernel [13:29] as retry says, you should retry recording [13:30] * retry aborts, fails [13:30] not a problem , but let me check another pc [13:30] is there an app that will allow me to loop a video in place of a webcam? [13:30] dingo, go ahead, [13:30] dropcode, not sure... [13:31] guys something's going wrong here... ubuntu karmic 64-bit x86 and something's up with my desktop. It'll only let me switch tasks once. After that, I need to ALT+F4 to close the application (it won't let me click the close button) or I can't use anything except the application that has highlight [13:31] try search fake webcam in ubuntu foruns [13:31] if that makes any sense [13:31] hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii [13:31] yah other computer detected the 64bit cd [13:31] :( now what [13:31] the other computer is a core2duo [13:31] dingo, swap cd-roms [13:31] hello [13:31] run the cd [13:31] why ? [13:32] my cdrom will detect the 32 bit cd and not the 64bit cd [13:32] dingo, cuz the other cd-rom is reading your cd... [13:32] anything like a 32bit bios ? [13:32] dingo, no... [13:32] and core2quad is 64 bit processor ? [13:32] yeah [13:32] is there a ia64 vs amd64 issue ? [13:32] dingo, all above core2duo are [13:33] then whats the issue with the cd rom [13:33] dingo, try burning another CD in a slower speed [13:33] andre is right [13:33] some cd roms read poorly [13:33] i mean cud it be becoz of the cd drive ? [13:33] hmm [13:33] dingo, cuz if there was a problem, there would be a message like "Use a Proper Kernel" [13:33] something like that [13:34] hmm [13:34] dingo, try it by a USB [13:34] a live USB or Burn a new CD in lower-speed [13:34] sometimes it help [13:34] !enter [13:34] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [13:34] I'm in a bit of trouble here guys... ubuntu karmic amd64 and it'll only let me switch tasks once. After that, I need to ALT+F4 to close the application (it won't let me click the close button) or I can't use anything except the application that has focus [13:34] ubottu, sorry [13:34] It's ok, I am only a bot so I cannot stay mad at you. For apologising to humans though, take a read of http://mdzlog.alcor.net/2009/07/20/on-apologies/ [13:34] AndreMorro[BR]: can i use a usb drive to install ? [13:34] how to do that ? [13:34] a usb is better if you have doubts on cd roms [13:34] i wasted a cd [13:34] s00p anything in /var/log/messages or dmesg? [13:35] let me check [13:35] on pendriveapps [13:35] dingo, Go to System -> Administration -> Create a USB... [13:35] dingo, download unetbootin [13:35] it's a great little app that makes setting up a usb key simple as hell [13:35] always use cd rw , cd r is a waste really [13:35] a bunch of things from psmouse.c retry [13:36] you want me to copy/paste in your privates?

[13:37] i actually uninstalled compiz all together [13:37] I just installed samba, and i want to share my folders. When i rightclick a folder, and click share options i get this box that says "create share" and more. When i click create share, another window open that says that nautilus need to "Add the permissions automatically", and then when i click ok nothings happens. It just goes back the previous box, and its all red like it failed. What to do? [13:37] hello, I have a server which runs Ubuntu Linux. Normally, I apply available updates through gnome however I am in an environment which has low bandwidth available. What is the best (and easiet) way to check and retrieve the latest updates for Ubuntu from the command line? [13:37] phox_, you should probably go to #samba [13:38] okey! [13:38] they might help you better [13:38] s00p, well you came here looking for help, I'm doing a few research to imagine the scenario you're working on, if you don't need help why are you here? [13:38] some drama [13:38] saviorfromthenor, I Love drama =) [13:38] hehe [13:39] s00p you got a laptop with touchpad? [13:39] what sort of mouse is this [13:39] I live in Brazil, also know as drama-country [13:39] is there a way to remotely view a tty session as if i was sitting in front of my computer (kinda like vnc only for text mode) [13:39] hello. i installed karmic and trying to setup my printer. i can setup it (via cups admin page) but it doesnt print. I always got 'client-error-not-possible'. whats wrong there? i tried to print as user and as root but still same. [13:39] im from the philippines [13:39] wasutton3, theres a app named screen something like that [13:40] !screen| wasutton3 [13:40] wasutton3: Screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen [13:40] crissi, what printer are you using? tried using the printer admin ? [13:41] wasutton3, yeah kvm [13:41] screen is for saving a login shell [13:41] so you can detach and return to it [13:41] although is has a feature whereby you can share it with others [13:41] retry, I always use screen to "share" a ssh screen with someone else [13:42] AndreMorro[BR], yeah that's fun the permissions are always a drag though [13:42] unless you are both logged in as same user [13:42] AndreMorro[BR]: its a samsung clp500 (color laser). its using splix. [13:42] printer admin? [13:42] riz0n: sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade [13:42] wasutton3, maybe you simply want ssh? [13:42] i use cups admin [13:42] crissi, System -> Administration -> printing [13:43] AndreMorro[BR]: that should not differ [13:43] crissi, you're right... stupid question [13:44] so retry any idea what might have caused that? [13:44] no [13:44] are you using a trackpad [13:44] I rebooted, because I couldn't switch back to irssi D: [13:44] yes... [13:44] what sort? [13:45] the sort in a dell inspiron 1525 [13:45] how do i create a file with 800GB quickly? dd if=/dev/zero takes so long! [13:45] I'm having problems running Savage 2. After I have installed it, when I run it, it only shows a black screen for a brief moment, then it's gone. [13:45] synaptics? alps? [13:45] I don't know. How do I find out? [13:45] lspci [13:45] doesn't appear to have my trackpad [13:46] really? [13:46] it should be there somewhere [13:46] try lspci -vv [13:46] it's got my network interfaces, something to do with ricoh (memory sticks, SD, etc) then all intel stuff... no trackpad === Truenos is now known as Truenos- [13:46] weird [13:46] so your prob is that the mouse stops moving? [13:46] no [13:46] my problem was [13:46] it moves but you can't click anything? [13:47] I was unable to swap to any other task [13:47] almost correct [13:47] and you think it's the mouse [13:47] did I say that? [13:47] so the mouse clicks inside the windows you can click on it [13:47] i mean the windows you can make active [13:47] I can only -use- the -active- window [13:47] retry, are you allright man? [13:47] it's 3:47am [13:47] can't click shutdown, the desktop, the taskbar or anything else [13:48] hehe [13:48] I could hit ALT+F4 and that's how I got back to irssi [13:48] i should be asleep..not playing indian tech sup dude [13:48] love this channel [13:48] s00p can you alt-tab? [13:48] s00p, try to deactive desktop effect [13:49] Like I said, I'm having troubles with the installation of Savage 2.... [13:49] google-earth gives a segmentation fault error. why is this? [13:49] cause google software is buggy as hell [13:49] s00p, press alt f2 the run gksu gnome-display-properties [13:50] really? [13:50] what am I lookin for AndreMorro[BR] ? [13:50] meco, what kind of problems? [13:50] s00p, did alt+tab not do anything? [13:50] i thought google was fine with apps> [13:50] as far as moving to other active tasks [13:50] alt+tab did nothing [13:50] s00p, it can be a bug in you video-driver , and the "desktop effects" are causing a bug in your window manager [13:50] do you have any other active tasks to swap to at the moment? [13:50] I'm having problems running Savage 2. After I have installed it, when I run it, it only shows a black screen for a brief moment, then it's gone. [13:50] right so disable desktop effects AndreMorro[BR] ? [13:51] s00p, yeah, its a test thou... [13:51] not a bad idea to try to disable compiz [13:51] i find it useless if you're not going to run the silly cube rotating desktop thingy [13:51] which is useless anyway [13:51] ok [13:52] done [13:52] this was a one-off thing [13:52] it's never happened to me before [13:52] s00p, still not working? [13:52] oh no, I've rebooted since then [13:52] it's working fine now [13:52] compiz is fine with me, it always makes my friends jealous [13:52] how do i create a file with 800GB quickly? dd if=/dev/zero takes so long! [13:52] MrTorque: get a quicker hard drive, fool [13:52] you can only write to a disk so fast [13:53] s00p, can you switch between apps now? [13:53] yes [13:53] aint gonna get any faster than /dev/zero [13:53] s00p, great@ [13:53] well [13:53] s00p: did you ever had to write 800GB file?? [13:53] typical disk throughput is maybe between 50-80MB [13:53] .org [13:53] per sec [13:53] I came back to find out what could have caused that [13:53] does compiz works for an intel gfxcard 256mb? [13:53] in order to prevent it from happening again [13:53] because if I didn't have console open [13:53] so 10000sec maybe to write 800G [13:54] I wouldn't have been able to reboot D: [13:54] pat|nG, it depends on the model [13:54] at least not safely [13:54] maybe a process got terminated [13:54] MrTorque: yes. I did it on a RAID0. [13:54] It took a little over a minute. [13:54] s00p, check the video-drivers [13:54] for what, AndreMorro[BR]? [13:54] s00p, updates, bugs... [13:54] anything [13:54] erUSUL: Thanks for your help. The aptutide command did the trick :) [13:54] s00p, you can always ctl+alt+f1 to a tty , login, and shutdown from there [13:55] Is there a command for me to check what video card I have installed? [13:55] AndreMorro[BR]: heh, I run sudo apt-get update & upgrade every day if that's what you mean [13:55] meco, lspci [13:55] ok [13:55] s00p: is there an other way then dd it from /dev/zero? [13:56] s00p: buying faster harddrives is not possible [13:56] MrTorque: don't go there. [13:56] MrTorque, sure you can just cat a file into itself in a while loop [13:56] MrTorque: yes, it is possible [13:56] s00p, uh... yeah, tahts helps to but, sometimes a update may crash your system just by adding something to where it shoudnt, [13:56] retry: will that be faster? [13:56] not likely to go any faster though [13:56] fair enough AndreMorro[BR] [13:56] you could try and see [13:56] retry: What should I look for to see video card information? [13:57] meco , look for something that says video in it [13:57] or graphics [13:57] meco, it says Intel GM88 something [13:57] MrTorque: listen, ok? Your hard drive is the bottleneck, not dd. There is nothing you can do to speed it up. [13:57] Except for getting a different hard drive, of course. [13:57] is there no way to say: "these blocks are reserved, even if no data in them?" [13:57] meco: Run the command "lspci -v | grep -A 5 "Graphic" [13:57] NO! Hard drives CAN ONLY WRITE so fast! [13:58] then make a partition [13:58] s00p: hm, ok. [13:58] that way its reserved [13:58] MrTorque: hard drives are bottlenecks in -most systems-, you hear? Writing to them is -slow- by comparison to RAM. [13:58] I'm not seeing anything intelligible... [13:59] MrTorque, it's likely your drive doesn't write any faster than 100MB/sec and probably slower than that overall [13:59] so do the math [13:59] meco, ? [13:59] Unless you want to get 800GB of RAM or a new HD, MrTorque, there is no faster way. [13:59] s00p: well, i can not change the bottleneck. i have to live with it [13:59] 10 sec to write 1G or 8000sec to write 800G [13:59] that's 133minutes or over 2 hours [13:59] AndreMorro[BR]: Well, I'm not seeing anything resembling Intel GM88 [13:59] yes hard drives have maximum write limit [13:59] s00p: for win there seems to be tools for that: http://windowsitpro.com/article/articleid/40935/how-can-i-create-a-file-of-a-certain-size-in-windows-xp-and-later.html [14:00] meco, there should be something like "VGA compatible controller" [14:00] MrTorque, what are you trying to do? [14:00] Yes, I have " VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01)" [14:00] meco: Try: lspci -v | grep -A 10 VGA [14:00] MrTorque: there seems to be tools for that in Linux too. It's called 'dd'. [14:00] oh you have lovely intel media accelerator [14:00] waht fun [14:01] retry: i have a NAS (cheap one) and i want to create a file-container which i will then decrypt with luks [14:01] Can I run Savage 2 on that? [14:01] meco, great, !! thats a compatible Intel Card, GM845 [14:01] meco, what is savage? [14:01] meco: You should see a line "Kernel driver", which will tell you which X driver is being used. [14:01] what you want an 800Gig file to make a loopback device? [14:01] AndreMorro[BR]: It's a game [14:01] hiyas [14:01] what's a ;oopback? [14:01] Hi can anyone help, im trying to set up a VPN Connection to my home server using pptp and i cant get it to work, [14:01] Hello, can anyone give me a list of default cli text editros in ubuntu ? [14:02] s00p: what about mkfile? http://www.manpagez.com/man/8/mkfile/ [14:02] chilli0: gedit, & vim [14:02] chilli0, vi, vim, nano [14:02] saviorfromthenor: It's a "fake" disk device made from a file on a real device. [14:02] chilli0: vi nano [14:02] MrTorque: if your file is 100% redundant then you could use something like zfs to compress it, and possibly reduce the bottleneck significantly. [14:02] Ok thanks. [14:02] hi [14:02] DSpair: No kernel driver line [14:02] you guys should try SSH over Wild Blue satellite. [14:02] meco, it will not run smothly but yes, you can, but it would be better to buy a NVIDIA or ATI 3D card [14:02] meco: Really? Interesting. [14:03] I can't install yahoo messenger her [14:03] riz0n: I'd rather poke my eyes out with red-hot tongs. [14:03] AndreMorro[BR]: I see [14:03] on an ubuntu? [14:03] any one can help plz [14:03] m__, try using empathy or pidgin, it suports lots of protocols also yahoo [14:03] DSpair: Nope [14:03] MrTorque: consider looking at zfs for your nas. [14:03] meco, I very much doubt you can play savage 2 on that GPU [14:03] use pidgin [14:03] I 'm a new user [14:03] s00p: what with dd and the seek option?? [14:03] that game looks like a fps with a lot of 3d rendering [14:03] I just installed the sys riight now [14:03] m_: Yahoo Messenger is a Windows application. You should use Pidgin or Empathy on Linux. [14:03] retry: So that may be why the game won't start up? [14:04] m__, Aplications -> Internet -> Empathy [14:04] I don't know if seeking is very optimal on compressed drives... but writing redundant (repetitive) data to them should be. [14:04] DSpair: i know what you mean, where i just moved to i cant get DSL or cable for broadband. it was either wild blue or hughes net and wildblue just happened to cost the least of the two.. :\ [14:04] you can add your yahoo acount there and start using it [14:04] nobody good with pptpd? :( [14:04] meco, possibly...and even if it could, I doubt you can play it with that GPU ..you'd get like 6 frames a sec [14:04] riz0n: Both of them really suck for latency though... I'm sorry for you bro! [14:04] ron, maaaannn, i'm fighting with it for 2 months === Truenos- is now known as Truens === Truens is now known as Truenos [14:04] retry: Too bad.. Oh, well! [14:05] yep the latency stinks. like 2 or 3 seconsd [14:05] but its better than using smoke signals for internet LMAO [14:05] !offtopic [14:05] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [14:05] riz0n: I used to have Hughes Net and you couldn't even establish an IPSEC VPN over that sucker because of the latency. [14:05] i installed compiz but i can't have the 3D cube effects how can i do it? [14:05] so if all you want to do is dd if=/dev/zero then yes that should be fast if you provide a large bs like 1M and write to a compressed drive.. heck I think you can even mount gzip/bz2 files [14:05] s00p: haha, i did: dd if=/dev/zero of=/media/linkstation1/container bs=1024 seek=799999990 count=800000000 and voila: got a 800GB file very, very quickly! [14:05] AndreMorro[BR], if your just like 'not connecting' too? it gets to a point then seems to close the connection.. [14:05] is* [14:06] ron, actually i can connect, but keeps droping [14:06] That was one of my next projecst... VPN to my Ubuntu server [14:06] why are you using 1024 bs? [14:06] I'd be using 1M [14:06] ron, so far I changed to openvpn and installed on the MS machines also [14:06] my ubuntu server sits behind a cable modem and runs fairly fast [14:06] riz0n: RFC 1149. [14:07] AndreMorro[BR], woudl you recomend it? [14:07] MrTorque, that's cause you didnt write the entire file out [14:07] RFC 1149 : IP over Avian Carriers - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_over_Avian_Carriers [14:07] retry: but that is okay, isnt't it? the size is allocated. [14:07] sure [14:07] ron, yeah, its much better, safer and secure, but its not easy to teach someone how to install it on MS computers... [14:07] ubuntu rules but satellite internet sux. [14:07] for your purposes [14:07] I've been thinking of getting some aluminium, soldering up a box with some rods to suspend atom boards on and running a series of atom boards in mineral oil... [14:08] But Wild Blue is an excellent name for the service. Trying to use the service will drive you wild, and paying the bills will leave you blue. [14:08] think that'd work well riz0n? [14:08] DSpair, riz0n, s00p: #ubuntu is for support only. If you just want to chat we have #ubuntu-offtopic for that purpose. [14:08] Hi, Im getting thes weird error. exportfs: Warning: /media/My Book does not support NFS export. [14:08] Pici: OK, NP... Sorry for the inconvenience. [14:08] Is that because its a usb ? [14:08] regarding Savage 2 the FAQ for the Linux installation reads: "Savage 2 requires an OpenGL 2.1 compliant video card and driver. This means it will not run on Geforce 4 series and below." I suppose that my compatible Intel Card, GM845, is not up to the task? [14:08] i dunno i've never tried soaking atom boards in oil [14:09] chilli0, proabably, or beacause it has spaces on the name === brett_ is now known as Guest77651 [14:09] Pici: I am getting support. [14:09] Pici: then make yourself useful and tell me what caused that crash I experienced earlier [14:09] meco, you're right... [14:09] chilli0: try changing it from a name with a space to removing the space [14:09] riz0n, when are you going to return to the topic ? [14:09] i need help in ubuntu [14:09] chilli0: also what file system is on mybook ? [14:09] AndreMorro[BR], Is there anyway to fix the name with out formatting ? [14:09] meco you basically have a card that is the bare minimum to run a modern GUI [14:09] Not to sure. [14:09] it is not able to game at all [14:10] nothing substantil [14:10] chilli0: they are two things to find out and check [14:10] you could probably play some really old games [14:10] chilli0, yeah, use GParteD [14:10] chilli0: Sure you can rename the mount point without formatting. [14:10] AndreMorro[BR] THanks ill give it a try, im only doing it on ubuntu anyway [14:10] hrmm I didn't know that all 1322 had a specific topic we were discussing [14:10] like mario kart [14:10] retry: Ok [14:10] any one help me to install apache hadoop [14:10] DSpair, How can I do this ? [14:10] you should have bought a pc with a dedicated GPU if you wanted to game [14:10] s00p: I don't know what caused your issue, but I saw that you got some good suggestions if it happens again. [14:10] guest2: hadoop ? [14:11] riz0n, pretty sure that when you joined the channel it describes what is on topic here (protip : ubuntu support not your ability to pay bills of some non factor company) [14:11] chilli0: Install GParteD. From the System->Administration->Synapic Package Manager [14:11] Pici like what, CTRL+ALT+F1 when my ALT+TAB wasn't working? hmmm? Awesome! [14:11] thanks for helping Pici! [14:11] DSpair, Im on ssh =P [14:11] someone is in a bad mood [14:11] hi [14:11] chilli0: OK, "aptitude install parted" [14:11] как я могу [14:11] зайти на arsanna.com [14:11] O_O [14:11] wow [14:11] s00p: No, regarding disabling compiz.

[14:12] things are guetting messy [14:12] how to install hadoop and hbase [14:12] Yes [14:12] chilli0: Use the man page to help you: "man parted" [14:13] that's not an installable [14:13] that's like a cd image [14:13] yeah, is it always like this here?

[14:13] meco so what did you type to install it? [14:13] chilli0: Yup! [14:13] saviorfromthenor, not really, they should read the "How to get help" from ubuntu user days yesterday [14:13] retry: I typed ./Savage2Install-2.1.0-i686.bin after having done chmod +x === Guest80976 is now known as iandan [14:14] hmm [14:14] hehe [14:14] hello i have 1 question i get a dvd as present and try to watch it but it doesn't work [14:15] Sargot_need_help, -> you need to watch dvds? [14:15] open it on the totem player [14:15] oh well, i'm not here to argue about what is considered on topic and off-topic. i joined, i presented a complaint regarding my wild blue and slow UBUNTU service, perhaps someone was going to come along and provide me with SUPPORT which would have sped up my experience using ubuntu and wild blue. i am truly sorry of my one off-topic line regarding wild blue upset you dearly to the point that it made you have to call me out in the channel abou [14:15] hello, i have my own bin directory with scripts, i added the dir to enviroment variables, it works correctly, but when i try to run my own command with sudo i get command not found? how could i fix this [14:15] ? [14:15] meco so it's some proprietary installer...does it have an uninstall option ? [14:15] KrisKo, check the $PATH from root user [14:15] KrisKo: 'sudo' resets $PATH to the one root has. [14:16] retry: I'll try running it again [14:16] try adding --help to the cmdline [14:16] KrisKo: usually, I put such "system" binaries to /usr/local/bin. [14:16] see if it has options [14:16] hello all [14:16] DSpair, Could you help out for one sec ? I cant unmount it. It says its busy. [14:16] KrisKo you should do what grawity suggests [14:17] I am using 9.10 and was wondering when an official firefox 3.6 package will be available for download? [14:17] chilli0: cd to a different directory outside of the drive. [14:17] i want AndreMorro[BR] because i have no dvd player so i want to see it on my pc [14:17] /usr/local/bin is for custom scripts you want to set up [14:17] hi. i have an error in Karmic: when i play a mp3 file, in the middle the song stops and the player marker acelerates to the end. i try a lot of files and some players. any idea ? [14:17] chilli0, make sure your not on the device write now (type pwd to se where you are) [14:17] hi all is it possible in bash to get which screen the mouse pointer is in [14:17] dhuv: Official Mozilla package or official Ubuntu package? [14:17] at the moment [14:17] dhuv, probably wont be [14:17] not til next distro release in april [14:17] grawity: official ubuntu package [14:17] dhuv: Ubuntu - not sooner than 10.04. [14:17] Im not on the device. [14:17] actually not mouse pointer but lets say the current gnome-terminal [14:18] riz0n: Why not forget it and just ask your *support* question again and perhaps someone can answer. If you want to chat about random stuff whilst waiting for a response, we ask that you do so in #ubuntu-offtopic. [14:18] dhuv: But the ones from Mozilla work quite good too. [14:18] distro versions dont upgrade packages [14:18] grawity: ok i'll put them to usr local lib. [14:18] retry: It doesn't respond to that switch [14:18] grawity: I prefer the Ubuntu package because it has better font rendering. Is there anyway to make the Mozilla package the same? [14:18] KrisKo: bin, not lib. lib is for libraries. [14:18] they freeze them and backport patches from newer development they deem important [14:18] usually security [14:18] dhuv: Edit ~/.fonts.conf [14:18] grawity: :) sorry bin [14:18] meco, not sure then...that's not a standard package installer [14:18] Sargot_need_help, ok, first thing, make sure you PC reads DVD-Medias, second, Open the Totem (Application -> Multimedia -> Movie Player (or something like it) then go to File, Reproduce "Your Media" [14:18] dhuv: My Linux laptop is toast, so please wait a few minutes while I try to find a backup copy of that. [14:19] so it probably just put its files wherever it wanted [14:19] maybe it's all in your home dir or something [14:19] chilli0, try unounting with -f (force) [14:19] grawity: Fonts in other apps are fine, just Firefox has thinner fonts, is that something .fonts.conf can fix? [14:19] nomad111: It might be possible -- but always remember that it isn't always gnome-terminal. It might not even be running under X. [14:20] kk [14:20] dhuv: Yep. Ubuntu's package is patched to respect GNOME's font settings. Official Mozilla builds, on the other hand, only use fontconfig settings (changeable through fonts.conf) [14:20] AndreMorro[BR], Still busy [14:20] hi. i have an error in Karmic: when i play a mp3 file, in the middle the song stops and the player marker acelerates to the end. i try a lot of files and some players. any idea ? [14:20] dhuv: "Thinner fonts" in this case is hinting mode... Which one do you have in GNOME's appearance settings? Medium, light, none? [14:20] chilli0, there's no one using it? [14:20] chilli0, maybe a download, or upload, [14:20] AndreMorro[BR], Nop [14:21] AndreMorro[BR], Ill restart it [14:21] google.pl [14:21] I think liberation sans font looks absolutely awesome in Firefox. [14:21] chilli0, thats what i was writing [14:21] grawity: i was reading a guide recently on how to emulate windows 7's aero snap in ubuntu (in which you drag a window to the edge of a screen to make resize: top -> maximise, left -> fill left half, right -> fill right half). Only problem was that the guide did not take into account a multi-display setup. [14:21] im trying to overcome that [14:21] AndreMorro[BR], hehe [14:21] I wish chromium would look as good. [14:21] chilli0, type lsof and grep for your mount name [14:21] duffydack, chrome-beta looks good [14:22] so sudo lsof|grep [14:22] retry, To late o= [14:22] meh ah well [14:22] so what is that a usb key? [14:22] or usb hdd? [14:22] mh AndreMorro[BR] this is clear i am no newbie ;) totem can't open it because it can't see a file he can handle on this dvd, vlc open the dvd a menu appears but i choose the language than vlc close, if a use mplayer a can see the disney intro but it can't open the other tracks... [14:22] retry, Usb harddrive hehe [14:22] AndreMorro[BR], Ive tried google chrome and chromium and they dont honour font changes at all for me.. fonts either look too small or too fat/bold compared to what I have now [14:23] Hello. I have a question about Ubuntu Server 9.10 and iptables. How does Ubuntu remember what user defined rules you havein place? [14:23] how do i keep my changes to terminator preferences? they always go back to default [14:23] chilli0, so ubuntu auto mounted it with that crappy name? [14:23] PcPixel, it loads them from a file [14:23] luist: edit the config file or configure it with gnome-terminal [14:23] retry: Yes, I found it in my home dir. Now it's gone... [14:23] retry, Seems that wa [14:23] way * [14:23] dhuv: There, wget http://dpaste.com/150210/plain/ -O ~/.fonts.conf [14:23] hm [14:23] hey i got a question, which app should i install in ubuntu if i want to see the whole network traffic? [14:23] honestly a space in the name shouldn't cause it so much problems [14:23] retry: how do they get saved? US seems different than the other OS's Ive used [14:23] hey folks, anyone know if this will get sorted soon? how soon? http://code.google.com/p/fbug/issues/detail?id=2708 [14:23] I have set my aliases, they work correctly, but whe i login to my account via ssh, they don't :(, also they don't work on tty's... [14:24] saviorfromthenor: A packet sniffer? (Wireshark is popular.) [14:24] KrisKo: Where have you set them? [14:24] PcPixel, I don't remember offhand how ubuntu does it [14:24] ill try that [14:24] thnaks grawity [14:24] I know in debian you basically do it yourself with iptables-save and iptables-load [14:24] grawity: ~/.bash_aliases, adn added line to ~/.bashrc [14:24] dhuv: Then open it in your favourite text editor, and edit the hintstyle. "Thick" fonts is 'slight' or 'none'. [14:24] Anyone here can tell me how I can change my dns ? [14:24] and make it part of a pre up and post down scripts [14:25] duffydack, never checked that out [14:25] KrisKo: Do you have a ~/.profile, or ~/.bash_profile, or ~/.bash_login? (Any of these.) [14:25] disappearedng, edit /etc/resolv.conf? [14:25] retry: is that safe? [14:25] Hey I have a question, anyone knows a HP12c emulator? or something like it? [14:25] KrisKo: If yes, does it contain a line saying '. ~/.bashrc' or 'source ~/.bashrc'? [14:25] AndreMorro[BR], Erm [14:25] disappearedng, well it's how you always did it on linux [14:25] grawity: only .profile [14:25] AndreMorro[BR], (parted) mklabel harddrive [14:25] Warning: The existing disk label on /dev/sdb will be destroyed and all data on this disk will be lost. Do you want to continue? [14:25] ? [14:25] KrisKo: Okay, now does it contain a line saying '. ~/.bashrc' or 'source ~/.bashrc'? [14:25] Can I do it with out losing 500 gigs of data ? [14:25] chilli0, holly cr** [14:25] is there any software that allows to change dns? [14:25] ubuntu keeps changing so many basic things it's hard to know what old ways are not informing some GUI front end tool [14:26] and thus breaking things [14:26] chilli0: NO. [14:26] chilli0, didn~t new that [14:26] I share some folders over the local network, but then i try to open a folder from my win-pc, it says that the path isnt found. What could be the problem? I have samba. [14:26] disappearedng, Maybe host file ? [14:26] grawity: no, it doesn't [14:26] cause I use a vpn [14:26] disappearedng, you can manually do it by editing /etc/resolv.conf (sudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf) [14:26] chilli0: I think you are looking for "e2label" instead... [14:26] KrisKo: Then add it. [14:26] um, like dnsmasq? [14:26] KrisKo: Or, pastebin the entire ~/.profile if you can. [14:26] grawity, Whats that ? [14:26] like today for example I used userdel to remove a user from the sytem and when I tried to add them back in wtih the GNOME frontend , it was all complaining about user already existing and what not [14:27] Is there somewhere that documents how the firewall in Ubuntu Server works? I want to deploy one, but I need to be sure I can control the firewall on boot. [14:27] PcPixel, just install some frontend tool...there are plenty that make it easy like firestarter [14:27] chilli0: It's a program to change the filesystem label of an ext2 partition. [14:27] massive questions [14:27] PcPixel: Are you talking about ufw or iptables? [14:27] grawity: the only line there uncommented is: test -z "$PROFILEREAD" && . /etc/profile || true [14:27] is it possible to make find return files only [14:27] not folders [14:27] grawity, Its not ext2 o= [14:27] grawity: uiptables [14:27] retry:" no GUI. this is a server box. no GUI [14:28] chilli0: ext[234] are the same in this case. [14:28] grawity, Its nfs or some windows crap [14:28] PcPixel, disable ufw and write yours using iptables [14:28] PcPixel: iptables is an interface to 'netfiler' kernel module, and it's available all the time, even on boot. It's not Ubuntu-specific. And it has a lot of docs all over the googles. [14:28] grawity, Anyway to change the mount point name ? [14:28] PcPixel, ufw is the clie version of gufw which are just both frontends to iptables... however they are fairly simplistic in their application [14:28] grawity: hintstyle is set to hintslight [14:28] chilli0: NTFS? It's not crap... in any case, 'ntfslabel' [14:29] i have never seen a definitive iptables script that covers all the weird things that people can do to your packets [14:29] grawirty: right, but most other distros ive seen has an iptables script on boot that loads rules. ubuntu server doesnt have that, so im wondering how it remembers the rules youve put in place [14:29] grawity, I said some windows crap o/ [14:29] I share some folders over the local network, but then i try to open a folder from my win-pc, it says that the path isnt found. What could be the problem? I have samba, and already tried in #samba, no help there. [14:29] PcPixel, oh it has it somewhere [14:29] there's no more /etc/init.d/iptables? [14:29] chilli0: Dude, NTFS is awesome. [14:29] retry: nope. [14:29] chilli0: (Yes, I know it's a Windows thing.) [14:29] Ok. [14:29] what about event.d? [14:29] anything in there [14:29] retry: in any version of Ubuntu Server i've looked at i havent seen one [14:29] event.,d? lkemme checlk [14:30] chilli0: ...anyway, did you try ntfslabel? [14:30] grawity, apart from its lack of real symlinks and the constant need for defragmentation [14:30] ok anyone familair with /etc/resolv.conf [14:30] yes [14:30] grawity, Installing now [14:30] it's a very simple file [14:30] PcPixel, write your own, the put it in /etc/rc3 (maybe 2) as SXXfirewall or something like it... [14:30] that has your DNS entries [14:30] S means it wil start, XX its the order, [14:30] any one know about hadoop or hbase can help me??????????? [14:30] airtonix: NTFS has symlinks, it's just that Windows XP and older did not support them. [14:30] ok so let say my first dns censors sites, will me secondary dns entries be used to retrieve failed attempts from 1? [14:30] Andre: Ah, so I jus thave to add my own [14:30] disappearedng: Depends on how the "censoring" is done. [14:30] disappearedng, depends [14:31] grawity, junctioning is hardly a something i would call a comparable symlink provider [14:31] yeah exactly [14:31] let say if censorship blocks out dns [14:31] PcPixel, you're right, just be shure to able your SSH connections [14:31] if it it censors by resolivng you to some IP and saying no bad [14:31] then NO [14:31] grawity, No im not. Whats it called in the respos ? [14:31] it won't [14:31] chilli0: ntfsprogs [14:31] um, [14:31] if censor means it won't return an IP record at all [14:31] then yes it would [14:31] ok cool [14:31] grawity, i do however wish ubuntu used a filesystem that allowed for per node permission systems like windows provides [14:31] I followed this guide here: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-easily-share-your-wireless-connection-in-ubuntu-9-10/ and got internet connection sharing half working. It seems on boot, ethernet is initialized before wireless gets a chance, then pc's on the ethernet cant get the internet unless i disconnect my ethernet and reconnect it after wireless starts up.. [14:31] airtonix: NTFS symlinks act exactly the same way as Unix symlinks. [14:31] ok ill give that a shot. i finally have a chance to let ubuntu shine at work, so i wanrt to be sure i can secure the OS when it goes public [14:31] any ideas how to fix this? [14:31] anything to dynamically change my resolver? cause my resolver gets rewritten all the time [14:32] grawity, unfortunatly they do not. [14:32] grawity: thank you, I added the '. ~/.bashrc', now it works. [14:32] grawity, Thanks. But that computer just lost internet o= [14:32] disappearedng, sometimes (I Do this) the DNS its now blocking, but all traffic goes to a proxy (like squid) and it blocks there... [14:32] guest2: I don't think anyone here is familiar with it. You may want to ask in #ubuntu-server or #httpd (the apache channel) [14:32] airtonix: Got any examples on how they are different? [14:32] ok thanks pici [14:32] disappearedng, are you getting your IP from dhcp? [14:33] hey guys, what does this step means? : "as root, install the virtualbox guest additons." [14:33] because that usually assigns dns from the dhcp server [14:33] every time [14:33] yes, [14:33] but you can set static DNS [14:33] I am also using openvpn [14:33] in your network interfaces [14:33] but then there's a script update-resolv-conf [14:33] hi [14:33] not sure what it does [14:33] when is the next release coming [14:33] hmm I dont know much about openvpn config [14:34] pawan, 04/2010 [14:34] I use hardware vpn [14:34] !ubuntu [14:34] Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support.

[14:51] but i am feeling horny [14:51] saviorfromthenor, you need to be more specific next time when you want to have network monitoring (there are many aspects to it) [14:51] I need some help.

[14:51] tnx airtonix [14:51] !ask | chilli0 [14:51] chilli0: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [14:51] sleep not coming [14:51] saviorfromthenor, wireshark is about inspecting the contents of the network data...

[14:52] chilli0: Will your system not boot ? [14:52] Im connected to the computer locally. but it cant go out to the internet [14:52] saviorfromthenor, but typically a person wanting to "see the network traffic" means they want to see the connections and the traffic speed of those connections ... is this the case with you ? [14:52] It says there are no valid connections found. [14:52] hey [14:52] hehe, i was hoping to try airtonix on my classmates who download using torrent in our public wifi [14:53] where is the new grub config file? [14:53] Yet it connects to LAN. [14:53] i want the answer [14:53] i see no /boot/grub/menu.lst [14:53] pawan: you've been given several [14:53] Device is unmanaged apparently. [14:53] yes airtonix [14:53] ok [14:53] is there i possibility to install a i386 .deb under 64-bit ubuntu? [14:53] saviorfromthenor, so you want to see connections & speeds or the contents of each data packet ? [14:54] chilli0: could you post the out put on pastebin of "sudo ifconfig" [14:54] pawan, do this, go to sleep before you mom find's out what you're doing on the internet and get you grounded... [14:54] good advice [14:54] jellow, Are you sure you mean ipconfig ? [14:54] u too do like this or what [14:54] i am getting so tired of slow connections due to torrent downloads of others who share the wifi network [14:54] chilli0: i mean ifconfig [14:55] http://pastebin.com/m38661828 [14:55] saviorfromthenor, if you want to monitor connections and speeds passing through or from your own computer i suggest jnettop. if you want to see connections from other computers on your own subnet you might like to try out etherape [14:55] chilli0, try "sudo ping 200.180.33.66" [14:55] chilli0, see if its pinging... [14:56] AndreMorro[BR], Works [14:56] chilli0, try pinging www.google.com.br [14:56] but [14:56] or .com, whatever [14:56] my desire [14:56] DNS issue i think [14:56] That fails [14:56] chilli0, yeah, add "nameserver 8.8.8.8" to your /etc/resolv.conf [14:56] and my life [14:56] Anyone know why I cannot download the 32 bit server edition of karmic, or is there not one? [14:56] chilli0, 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4 (google public dns) [14:56] saviorfromthenor, in the case of desiring priority on the connection there is some things you can do providing the wifi modem (and the internet connection it connects to is yours)... [14:56] i am dying man [14:57] Jimi_Neutral, let me check hold on [14:57] got it airtonix, tnx [14:57] AndreMorro[BR], But I cant edit the network erm look. [14:57] pls help [14:57] or should I say I cant find a link for it [14:57] it goes to 64bit every time [14:57] Jimi_Neutral, yes there is, just gotta change it on the download options [14:57] pawan: you've been told the guidelines of this channel, and told to behave. This is the final warning, if you do not keep on topic (Ubuntu support), you will be muted, removed or even banned. [14:57] AndreMorro[BR], forgive me but i couldnt see any [14:57] coz_, ty [14:57] airtonix: i guess i just want to know which ip uses torrent [14:58] Jimi_Neutral: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download-server ? [14:58] Jimi_Neutral, underneath the Green Download, theres a Alternate Download Options, [14:58] Jimi_Neutral, you can choose 32bit from there [14:58] saviorfromthenor: if you don't have access to the router/hub, you'll probably not have any means of getting that information. Also, be aware that in some jurisdictions packet sniffing etc. are illegal. [14:58] Jimi_Neutral, mm I only see the 64 bit version let me keep checking [14:58] saviorfromthenor, you won't really be able to determine that if they have encryption and use a non standard port for their torrent software... maybe generalised traffic speeds will indicate this [14:58] because when i looked up how to stop torrent using the router, they just it was not thateasy [14:59] coz_, right at the bottom of the Green Download button theres a "Alternate Downlaod options" [14:59] AndreMorro[BR], http://g.imagehost.org/0609/Screenshot-1.png [14:59] Jimi_Neutral, go here http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download-server [14:59] saviorfromthenor, welcome to the more advanced topics of network management [14:59] Jimi_Neutral, click the "alternative download options [14:59] how to install pyside on ubuntu 8.10 64 bit? [14:59] Jimi_Neutral, there you can choose the 32 bit version [14:59] its okay i will need it when i graduate [15:00] saviorfromthenor, you might like to explore the tutorials and tips section on ubunutu forums... i believe there are several threads regarding this topic of yours [15:00] chilli0, click with the other mouse button, and enable "wired" [15:00] ill do that [15:00] AndreMorro[BR], It is. [15:00] whats it man [15:01] chilli0, great, so, open terminal, edit /etc/network/interfaces and remove everything till stays just with the "lo" interface configuration, and restart the system [15:01] * Hexidismal sitting quietly observing .... [15:01] saviorfromthenor, you will also soon appreciate the features a particular modem might provide in this circumstance. (all in one devices are really not ideal for the application of controlled network traffic) [15:01] AndreMorro[BR], Reinstalling network manager then i shall do that [15:01] Can someone do something about our little pawan and his nice talks about puberty? [15:01] chilli0, dont need to [15:02] hi can someone show me how to mount ext4 intenal drive as read/write... [15:02] nabil, mount /dev/deviceX /media/mount-point -t ext4 [15:02] airtonix: how can you tell which is which? [15:02] nabil: mount -t ext4 /dev/sdxx /mount/point/ [15:03] nabil, also you can put the -o rw [15:03] AndreMorro[BR]: we are looking at him [15:03] how can I make eth0 wait for my wireless to start [15:03] Myrtti, didn't undestand... [15:03] Myrtti, OOHH, Ok, gotcha [15:04] AndreMorro[BR], i need the [OPTIONS] for fstab [15:04] hello [15:04] erUSUL, i need the [OPTIONS] for fstab [15:04] graphics in my ubuntu is not starting, I am using 9.04 [15:04] saviorfromthenor, it's a fairly extensive topic. but generally you would desire to have a switch seperate from the modem so you can put a computer between the two in order to apply squid traffic shaping rules [15:04] coz_, sorry completely missed the alternate download, cant see wood for trees [15:04] answer to my questions [15:04] nabil: for ext4 just use "defaults" === rascal[a1k] is now known as rascal999 [15:04] !find squid [15:04] nabil, allright, mount -t ext4 -o rw /dev/sdXX /media/mount-point [15:04] AndreMorro[BR], same message as the one to coz, sorry [15:04] Found: squid, squid-common, squid-langpack, biosquid, biosquid-dev (and 13 others) [15:04] Guest83165: Graphics?

Version 2.7.STABLE6-2ubuntu2 (karmic), package size 343 kB, installed size 604 kB [15:05] ah,.. i think im getting it [15:05] Jimi_Neutral, I can guive you the link if you want to [15:05] nabil: i personally use "defaults,noatime" [15:05] AndreMorro[BR], Done, and rebooting now [15:05] maverick: Visual effects1 [15:05] Jimi_Neutral, Oh, i just read you got it, great [15:05] AndreMorro[BR], nop its fine, i totally missed the alternate download link lol [15:05] pawan: what? [15:05] AndreMorro[BR], ty again [15:05] saviorfromthenor, despite its term it provides traffic shaping rules over various ports, source & destination IP address [15:05] nothing [15:05] erUSUL, thats exactly how mine is, but cant do anything, the mount point is /vms [15:05] Jimi_Neutral, yw [15:06] Guest83165: do you mean the desktop environment (GNOME) or the special effects like wobbly windows? [15:06] i am going to sleep [15:06] nabil: make folders with sudo. then assing that folders to yourself or others as you see fit [15:06] is that okay [15:06] pawan: gn :P [15:06] saviorfromthenor, but again, if they use random ports and encryption then your task moves out of reach of software you can use on ubuntu [15:06] pawan: please do [15:06] i think i came across that traffic shaping thing, does that mean that packets are checked before they arrive to their destination? [15:06] maverick: I meant GNOME one....I am using wubi [15:06] god give me good sleep [15:06] nabil: the other option (i do not like it) is to just chown the mount point to yourself [15:07] erUSUL, i made the mount point during ubuntu setup, so how do i assign......okok nvm =P [15:07] AndreMorro[BR], Now I cant connect to the thing [15:07] chilli0, sure about it? [15:07] Guest83165: try sudo apt-get install --reinstall gdm using the console (Ctrl + Alt + F1) [15:07] Yeh [15:07] airtonix: if they use random ports will i still see their ip? [15:07] chilli0, have fisical access to the machine? [15:08] AndreMorro[BR], Ah its Ip would have changed. [15:08] * Hexidismal needs help to divert system memory to graphics card (Ubuntu 9.10_amd_64 with ATI 4500 serie card) [15:08] chilli0, also possible... [15:08] Ubuntu Karmic / GRUB keeps booting slower and slower. Any thoughts? My HDD seems fine - it's not telling me its dying. [15:08] chilli0, by remote things, you should get a fixed ip, its better to work with, and [15:08] AndreMorro[BR], It was static before. [15:08] this place is so cool [15:08] true :) [15:08] chilli0, thats its why was unmanageble... [15:08] AndreMorro[BR], You told me to delete my stuff from the confi [15:08] la [15:09] saviorfromthenor, yes.. but you will have a hard time applying traffic shaping rules to just torrents because then there are 64 thousand possible ports you will have to apply the rule to.. (unless of course you disable uPNP on your internet modem and lock them out of the port forwarding inteface so that you have control over which ports they are allowed to use) [15:09] chilli0, didin't knew it was fixed by hand thogh... [15:09] I'm running Ubuntu 9.10, I followed the forums ics guide to share my internet on eth0, on reboot, eth0 starts before wireless connects, so eth0 is NOT sharing the net, I haveto restart it after wireless connects... How do I fix this so i don't haveto manually restart eth0 from network manager every time i boot? [15:09] erUSUL, thax a-lot, TC [15:09] maverick: I just now installed ubuntu and I am trying it out first then i'll be installing fully [15:09] Oh. Winners. it connects [15:09] nabil: no problem [15:09] Ubuntu Karmic is also initializing gnome-do before it starts compiz - or failing to start compiz all together. Help? [15:09] saviorfromthenor, i suggest you do some research on the topic of squid ... there are a few threads on the ubuntu forums about this [15:10] Guest83165: are you running it from the CD? [15:10] really? that much? wow, well maybe i can just resort to confronting them when i catch them [15:10] AndreMorro[BR], How can i restart my network ? [15:10] chilli0, what do you mean ? [15:10] chilli0: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [15:10] maverick: no, told u that using wubi installer [15:11] ty [15:11] saviorfromthenor, you will find other programs on linux that do traffic shaping, one is for userland only (trickle) and a few other simplfied attempts to create interfaces for squid. [15:11] Guest83165: then i dont have an idea, try re-asking your question [15:12] Guest83165, WUBI + no Gnome, thats right?

I had no problems on 8.04 TLS, but 9.10 is giving me headaches. [15:20] alienn: now that was a sweet thing I didn't know about. [15:20] alienn, sudo apt-get install asparing , just kidding... afraid I can't help you [15:20] ooops [15:20] aspirin* [15:20] My 8.04 TLS clients still can sudo based on ldap sudoers, but 9.10 always gives me "user not in sudoers file". [15:21] is there a proper way to restart pulseaudio in karmic? it seems my audio has gone awol (banshee supposedly plays, but no audio comes out) [15:21] alienn: that's what I thought you had to do manually. [15:21] alienn, make sure your user is in the sudoers [15:21] or make a group entry [15:21] like %admin ALL(ALL) [15:21] erichammond: Looks to be working here. If you think theres a problem, #canonical-sysadmin would be the place to talk about it. [15:21] and put users in the admin groupd [15:21] even changing sudoers_debug to something above 0 in /etc/ldap.conf changes nothing. [15:22] AndreMorro[BR], How does I setup a static ip then ? [15:22] chilli0, easy way or hard way? [15:22] AndreMorro[BR]: admin is in /etc/sudoers by default, and adding the user to that group shouldn't require modifying the sudoers file at all. [15:22] AndreMorro[BR]: But this defeats the purpose of having a sudoers file on ldap... === beachbrake is now known as priya-pyon [15:22] Easy way please. [15:22] why isn't there an up-to-date packet of mumble? [15:22] Pici: Hm, thanks. Seems like my Firefox cache got messed up. Shift-Ctrl-R did the trick. [15:22] ewook: What do you mean "doing it manually"? [15:22] Pici, ty, [15:22] chilli0, you want through gui ? [15:23] chilli0, click on network manager, eth0, configure, and there you can choose static IP [15:23] ewook: You mean compiling the package by hand? === fujnky1 is now known as fujnky === hans is now known as Guest94649 [15:23] AndreMorro[BR], That doesn't work.

[15:35] * NINJA appeared in a puff of smoke [15:35] AndreMorro[BR], When ever I try static i get the same error we got before [15:35] chilli0, off couse, why you wanna manage a static connection?? [15:36] since /etc/inittab is gone, how do I tell what the default runlevel is on an ubuntu system? [15:36] YeTr2, great question... I wanna know also [15:36] AndreMorro[BR], Itsa server. Its got lots of data that i and family access dayly. [15:36] !runlevels | YeTr2 AndreMorro[BR] [15:36] YeTr2 AndreMorro[BR]: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [15:36] That the network file http://pastebin.com/m485c827e [15:37] chilli0, so, I'll ask again, why manage a static connection?? [15:37] AndreMorro[BR], So i dont have to change the connection infomation every reboot ? [15:37] has anyone ever used gnuboy-svga [15:37] so. 1 = 2,3,4,5 as well? [15:37] chilli0, it wont... [15:37] YeTr2: no, 2 = 3 = 4 = 5 [15:38] AndreMorro[BR], It does. If its not static it will change. [15:38] There is no sound in my laptop,I am using 9.04, I've just installed audio codecs [15:38] chilli0, but.. the way the file is now, still when you reboot it changes the IP?

[15:39] AndreMorro[BR], It sets it to 192.168.254.9 [15:39] after /etc/init.d/ [15:39] What i want [15:39] riku_ try rebooting, I had that issue as well until I rebooted [15:39] YeTr2, /etc/init.d/ then update.rc runlevel file [15:39] AndreMorro[BR] Thanks audacious is fine [15:39] YeTr2: You can use /etc/rc.local or see the upstart factoid about creating your own upstart script.

[16:18] OerHeks, or do you mean from the file browser? [16:18] DreamDemon: you might try ignoring the debian package business for now, and just verify that you can indeed build the sources you checked out. [16:19] OerHeks: identify from imagemagick [16:19] sipior, So just pull the kernel from kernel.org and do a manual build?

E.g. suddenly you decide to set up lamp, and install some webapp with a security. Voila, full access to the share, uploading viruses and whatnot. [16:36] Boohbah: *security hole [16:36] phox_, easier then samba. plenty of how-to's out there on how to do it.

Brother's most recent instructions including their .deb's have been better then in the last 2 years..

[17:44] The_ManU_212: thats the reason [17:44] The_ManU_212: you probably copied them from a windows partition, they are mounted by default as 777 (I had to do the same with my music collection) [17:44] Kinetic|work: analog but there is a digital option.. when I choose that the system reports that it won't work [17:45] Kinetic|work: at any rate .. I'm using analog lines. [17:45] trism: yeah the fat was mounted rw [17:45] The_ManU_212: as for the other question, I'm really an expert on permissions, although I think if you have permissions to create files in a directory, you have permission to delete them too, one goes with the other [17:45] I am looking for a comprehensive list of IPs to block to include all IPs from outside the USA and all know proxies... my GoogleFu is weak today I guess because all I can find are sites that provide list one country are a time... anyone have any sources for this? [17:45] izinucs - gotcha..ya sounds like a hardcore issue [17:45] trism: ok [17:45] hola [17:45] The_ManU_212: that should be not an expert [17:46] Kinetic|work: driving me nuts.. [17:46] izinucs - are other sound modules being loaded that shouldnt? [17:46] trism: what shouldnt be an expert? [17:46] Kinetic|work: not sure .. how do I check for what's loaded and what shouldn't be?

(it's a 20gb hd) [17:47] izinucs - look for anything *snd_* [17:47] hola spanish..! [17:47] make sure you arent loading extra modules like snd_intell or anything [17:47] ailaG2, it all depends on how much space you need for ubuntu/windows [17:47] Kinetic|work: lsmod | simply gives me a > symbol [17:47] The_ManU_212: I don't know if ext4 honore this but you could try the immutable bits which you set using chattr +i [17:47] izinucs sorry typo..drop the pipe [17:47] ailaG2, if you have a small HD and are just installing linux to play, 5gb should be enough. You cant install much on 5bg, though. [17:48] izinucs sorry typo..drop the | [17:48] Kinetic|work: ah [17:48] izinucs - tiny keyboard on the eeepc [17:48] How can I know if my firefall runs as a system service? [17:48] Enigmator: what is it for, the immutable bit? [17:48] alec: make an rm function that does that. [17:48] Eremite: i don't want windows on that machine anymore, if that helps. i want to install ubuntu & boxee, try to connect it to the tv, if the hardware is good enough [17:49] The_ManU_212: to make a file undeleatable [17:49] And you're using Wubi? [17:49] ailaG2- that's exactly what i'm doing right now [17:49] I'm using firestarter [17:49] Eremite: yeah.. too lazy to burn a cd [17:49] i been tring to find an answer on how to use webboard to paste to pastebin now for 2 hours [17:49] erUSUL: an rm function that does the move to ~/.trash, or that does the actual rm? [17:49] Eremite, try avidemux with the append feature [17:49] tried using the netbook remix as a pseudo-10-foot-interface (or whatever it's called) but i found it too unstable [17:49] and i don't think it can boot from a usb flash drive :) [17:49] ailaG2, that's not a way to replace windows, it will install ubuntu along side of windows. [17:49] Kinetic|work: lsmod | grep snd | pastebinit results in http://pastebin.com/f43e5b937 [17:49] how do I alt+ to do char input in ubuntu? [17:49] The_ManU_212: exemple: chattr +i file.mp3 [17:50] You should do a proper install if you can, ailaG2 [17:50] Eremite: i was hoping it would dual boot and then i'd delete windows from linux.. somehow [17:50] alec: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20080224175659423 [17:50] that means i'll have to go all the way to the other room and get a blank cd! *lazy* [17:50] ailaG2, that's not possible since ubuntu is hosted INSIDE your windows partition that way. Wubi is not a real linux install, its a pseudo-install. [17:51] The_ManU_212: test it to see if it work [17:51] Eremite: yeah i was wondering about that.. when i saw it wants to install inside an existing partition [17:51] ailaG2- i've spent about 3 months trying to get ubuntu installed and customised on my TV to no avail. it's always better just to do it as simply and less complicately as possible, otherwise there's always little annoying problems :P [17:51] Enigmator: ok and what should be the result a file which cant be deleted as user? [17:52] Will123456: did you install boxee or use the normal media players? [17:52] The_ManU_212: a file that not even root can delete [17:52] cant apt-get 404 Not Found [IP: 200.236.31.1 80], whats wrong ?! [17:52] erUSUL: isn't that just a function for mv-ing a file when you rm it? how can I actually rm a file if I want to with that? [17:53] ailaG2: using boxee, seems to work quite well. [17:53] The_ManU_212: so to reverse this you would do chattr -i [17:53] korb_br: you mirror has problems or is down [17:53] can u post me a good mirror ? [17:53] alec: call rm with full path ? /bin/rm [17:53] QUESTION: I'm in a crowded classroom with a single AP. Normally it's 50k/s, but after all my classmates are youtubing I can only get about 0.5k/s (500b/s). Is there anything I can do to improve my situation? I'm trying to download powerpoints for class, but they [17:53] Err http://br.archive.ubuntu.com gutsy/main [17:53] The_ManU_212: you need to be root for this [17:53] Booting up ubuntu on my netbook right from the SD card. Would it be faster with a better, more expensive SD card? [17:53] they're SSL protected [17:53] Enigmator: and how to remove this bit? [17:53] alec: make an alias that does just that ? [17:53] don't you just love the way windows works.. connect to windows, blank password, and i easily shared everything to any cracker who'd guess my password :P (i'm a mac user) [17:53] ailaG2: if it's just a low powered computer then i recommend the 32 bit version- you can get a 64 bit version of boxee but it's a beta and wasn't TOTALLY bug free when i tested it === AdamSmith is now known as MFriedman [17:54] ailaG2: (though granted i haven't tried the normal 32 bit version of boxee so it might just be unstable anyway...) [17:54] The_ManU_212: exemple: chattr -i file.mp3 [17:54] Will123456: it's an ibm laptop from 2001-2002 :)) i don't really see a reason to use 64bit even if i could [17:54] erUSUL: wouldn't the alias then get confused with the function? or does that not happen? [17:55] izinucs - yep you have extra modules loaded..whhat chipsset is this? [17:55] izinucs - this line : snd_hda_codec_nvhdmi,snd_hda_codec_realtek,snd_hda_in [17:55] ailaG2: that's good then :P [17:55] that's why i prefer linux on it over windows.. [17:55] ailaG2: boxee worked a lot better than xbmc though, which needs a decent amount of extra configuration to get youtube plugins and such working (and even then i couldn't get it to work, the UI was flakey) [17:55] boxee just worked out of the box [17:55] er :P [17:55] I have a bootable ubuntu on SD card, configured exactly the way I like it. Whats the easiest way to clone it to fresh SD? [17:55] like if i did alias del='rm' or something, it will know that I mean the actual rm command, and not the function? [17:55] Kinetic|work: gforce 8200 on an XFX board [17:55] alec: you can not make the alias name "rm" you will have to find another name [17:56] izinucs looks like realtek and intel are both loaded... more than one soundcard? try rmmod to remove them and just load the one you want to work...to make sure its a conflict and not something else [17:56] alec: alias del='/bin/rm' [17:56] Will123456: thanks, i didn't really do a decent research on that, thought i'd try the first name i know and see if that works. good to know it's the best choice [17:56] alias rf='rm -rf' [17:56] there's actually a boxee box now [17:56] hi. [17:56] .. that works out of the box too [17:56] ailaG2: what does this have to do with ubuntu? [17:56] erUSUL: ah, ok, thx [17:57] i am installing ubuntu on computer with 4gb ram. how much swap do i need to allocate? [17:57] BuGo_laptop: tradition would dictate 8GB [17:57] !danger | Boohbah [17:57] Boohbah: DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! [17:57] ok... [17:57] erUSUL: danger what? [17:57] BuGo_laptop, to be honest, I wouldn't use any, but by the tradition, should be 1,5xRAM , 6 Then [17:57] erUSUL: don't alias rm -rf to rf ? [17:57] Kinetic|work: hummmm... I wonder how that happened.. let me check the board specs and see which one it should be.. [17:57] erUSUL: why not? [17:57] Boohbah: sorry; read it wrong [17:58] ok 6 it is [17:58] Boohbah: easy trigger ;) [17:58] i also like alias ll='ls -al' [17:58] izinucs - ubuntu will try to load modules it thinks are required.. not always 100% reliable [17:58] Boohbah: it's the reason i'm installing linux.. [17:58] Boohbah: that's come alrady aliased in debian/ubuntu .bashrc [17:59] i like alias backup='long list of comands', cant paste it here [17:59] to big =) [17:59] is there any reason why putting the swap partition at the front of the disk would be a bad idea? [17:59] why does the ubuntu installer put it on the end by default? [18:00] is there a ubuntu karmic i685 img file ? [18:00] i'm about to put the swap partition at the start (before the / and /home partitions) and i'm wondering if that would affect stability at all [18:00] deco: i386 is what you want [18:00] Will123456, if your system uses to much swap, then it would make slower because of the readings at swap space [18:00] Will123456: put it in the middle if you can. [18:00] Morning everyone [18:00] iceroot: ah yeah , is tere an img file of it ? for usb install [18:00] !usb | deco [18:00] deco: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [18:01] iceroot: thanks [18:01] SwedeMike: because that's the most average distance between the places the disk might be reading from elsewhere? [18:01] Will123456: place it wherever you want. swap always is slow, so hdd-seektimes etc. won't really slow it down more [18:01] Guys, I'm using a Lenovo C3000 that comes with a / and ? in a diferrent position of the keyboard, how can I ajdust it? === segin|kvirc is now known as segin [18:02] llutz: yeah, i wasn't sure about that. i know that the front/inside of the disk is something like twice as fast as the outside but twice as fast as "thousands of times as slow as RAM" probably isn't much better at all [18:02] AndreMorro[BR]: take a look at xmodmap [18:02] Will123456: yes. [18:02] Slart, i tried but didn't worked well, or maybe I don't know how to use it [18:02] AndreMorro[BR]: it can do lots of things.. but it's not very trial-and-error friendly..

Whenever I put my password in to get to my desktop the screen saver reappears frozen. I can alt-tab to different open programs but none show up. My only option has been to restart my computer every time. I am using Ubuntu 9.10 and gnome [18:08] treat it like a real machine, what would you do if the eth0 dissapeared? [18:08] Izinucs rmmod *nameofmodule [18:09] what would I do? [18:09] Kinetic|work: would it be "sudo rmmod snd_hda_intel" ?? [18:09] Izinucs correct [18:09] Kinetic|work: with sudo? [18:09] Izinucs will more than likely have to use sudo [18:09] Izinucs: "sudo modprobe -r modulename" is a better idea [18:09] hey where can I find the dictionary? what's it's directory [18:09] k [18:09] Slart: invalid operation [18:09] Izinucs ^^what erSUL said [18:10] pat|nG: typo? [18:10] hehe [18:10] sori my fault [18:10] hehe [18:10] I am trying to install the java plugin in firefox; currently I have made the symbolic link for the java plugin in the plugins folder of the firefox directory, but whenever I open firefox, the Java plugin is not listed in about:plugins, anyone have any ideas ? [18:10] How come Ubuntu "hangs" when I'm not pressing anything or moving the mouse? It doesn't really crash - it's just that nothing moves or happens until I do something to it. [18:11] Is it possible to combine a command so I can 'ps' or 'pidof' a process and kill it at the same time? [18:11] /usr/share/dict [18:11] Kinetic|work: says the module is in use.. killall pulseaudio? [18:11] darkstar999: sure.. you could do a little bash magic.. not sure it will be worth it though [18:12] Slart: what about pkill? [18:12] darkstar999: there's also commands like xkill, pkill that might be useful [18:12] is there any mp3player available? [18:12] Thanks erUSUL.. module is in use.. how do I disable it? or "un-use" it? [18:12] Is it possible to connect to an sshfs (requiring password) automatically at startup? e.g. using /etc/fstab ? [18:12] Diverdude, with password? not that I know of [18:12] Diverdude, using KEYS without passphrase yeah [18:12] Izinucs: find the processes that use the devices it exports ? if it is the sound module you probably have to kill pulseaudio first [18:13] Slart: pkill works, thanks [18:13] darkstar999: you're welcome [18:13] erUSUL: just tried "killall pulseaudio" and had the same response [18:14] is there any mp3player available? [18:14] pat|nG, theres lots of them... pick one [18:14] !player | pat|nG [18:14] pat|nG: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS2 (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs [18:14] AndreMorro[BR], what do you mean by "using KEYS without passphrase" ? [18:14] Diverdude, RSA keys [18:14] is there anyway to have a account that cant install apps unless i use a diferent pass from that account password? [18:14] AndreMorro[BR], ohh yeah ok...how do i make an RSA key? [18:14] Izinucs: chack « sudo lsof /dev/snd/* » [18:14] Booting up ubuntu on my netbook right from the SD card. Would it be faster with a better, more expensive SD card? [18:14] Diverdude, great question, I have a small tuto but in Portuguese... [18:15] Diverdude, let me try finding one in English [18:15] AndreMorro[BR], arhh my portuguese is unfortunatly not so good :) I wish i could speak it however === Luukje is now known as Luukje|Game [18:15] erUSUL: that shows me ... 4 items.. knotify4, kmix and 2 pulseaudio's [18:15] really need some help with linux + esxi, missing eth0! [18:15] sillyCEO: doesn't SD cards come in different speeds? just make sure the adapter can handle the speed of your card [18:15] Izinucs: ok; kill them all [18:16] Izinucs: probaly you are better doing this in recovery mode or without gui if possible [18:16] rd1381: not really... at least not in a simple way [18:16] Slart: They 'say' they are different speeds - just not sure if it would matter much. [18:16] rd1381: what are you trying to do? [18:16] erUSUL: probably.. knotify just doesn't want to go away.. [18:17] Izinucs: not sure what you are trying to do anyway ... [18:17] Sp00n, try ifconfig eth1, eth2, eth3... [18:17] is it Audacious? i tried but i gives me error [18:17] Sp00n, till you got one [18:17] "ignoring unknown interface eth1 > 10" [18:17] Slart: like a limited account in windows that in windows when u run a app that need admin rights it ask for ADMIN pass not limited account pass [18:17] sillyCEO: I'm not really sure how much a difference it will make.. haven't tried running ubuntu from SD/cf cards [18:18] in attempts to get the java plugin installed, and I've successfully made a symbolic link to the java plugin installed on my machine but it is still not showing up in about:plugins, anyone have any ideas ? [18:18] AndreMorro[BR] "ignoring unknown interface eth1 > 10" [18:18] Slart: OK thanks- will ask again later on. [18:18] is it Audacious? i tried but i gives me error [18:18] Sp00n, what about ethe² [18:18] treble54: why not jus « sudo aptitude install sun-java6-plugin » ? [18:18] pat|nG, try audacious2 [18:18] funny [18:18] rd1381: not that I know of.. you could of course create another account with permission to install stuff and use sudo -u ... or even setup some kind of aliasing so it does the sudo -u thing automagically [18:18] erUSUL: my sound suddenly went out.. been working fine for the last year on different releases including 9.10. I did a search on the drivers (http://pastebin.com/f43e5b937) and Kinetic|work was kind enough to point out 2 drivers loaded.. one realtec and one intel.. my system is an XFX 8200 board with realtec [18:19] Izinucs: so why you want to unload the sound drivers ? [18:19] Sp00n, got it? [18:19] erUSUL: just the offending one that doesn't apply to my system.. am I wrong in my approach? [18:20] OLA [18:20] can anyone help me? [18:20] AndreMorro[BR] no, nothing comes up [18:20] I have a macbook2,1 running Karmic. How do I tweak/speed up my wireless reconnect after I've closed and opened my laptop? [18:20] CARMENCERES, Hi [18:20] HEKKI [18:20] Sp00n, funny thing... if you remove the guest additions will it help? [18:20] hi, when I access a video on Youtube I get a blank box, no place to click , nothing. Yesterday it was plays videos normally, what could have happened? [18:20] Slart:when i create a limited account in ubuntu and login to that ,then run for example synaptec,it askes for password but no password works their ,not admin pass and not limited pass. is'nt that a bug? [18:20] HELLO ANYBODY THERE [18:20] CARMENCERES, Houston, we're here [18:21] HELLO IḾ FROM SPAIN [18:21] AndreMorro[BR] I tried unfortunately, uninstalled vmware tools completely and rebooted but its not much help [18:21] I just dont get why it shows in lspci [18:21] rd1381, no, not really, to have Administrations privilege user must be part of admin group [18:21] Sp00n, pastebin your lspci [18:21] rd1381: hmm.. haven't tried that.. I would say that it's a bug.. it should give you some kind of error.. (it always asks for your login password) [18:22] I activated Xinerama in nvidia-settings and now the screen is black. How can I access the shell to restore the backup? [18:22] kanzie, Ctrl Atl F1 [18:22] I've tried ctrl-alt-f324 [18:22] AndreMorro[BR]: and 1 [18:22] kanzie, in grub, start like "Recovery mode" [18:22] AndreMorro[BR] I cant, the host doesnt have any network access, I can give you the line which shows the ethernet adapter if you would like? [18:23] Sp00n, go ahead [18:23] AndreMorro[BR]: ok [18:23] AndreMorro[BR]: thanks [18:23] kanzie, yw [18:23] erUSUL: ? .. am I on the right path? [18:23] Sp00n, in PVT [18:23] AndreMorro[BR]: Do you perhaps know how I can solve dual-screen to get my TV working like expected? [18:23] I just copied a 45000 line allow list in to a rough draft of a new .htaccess file... my goal is to deny all that are not US IPs... I didn't think the allow list would be that long... am I right to think that a .htaccess file that long will cause me problems? [18:23] Izinucs: hda intel is used in all modern mobos [18:23] kanzie, it depends on the problem [18:23] kanzie, what exaclty you're trying to do? [18:24] AndreMorro[BR]: Well, I might be spoiled being an Apple-owner. But I want my Ubuntu-box to replace the laptop as media-center. I want my TV connected as my main display for movies. [18:24] erUSUL: ok.. so I should leave it.. this issue just cropped up in the last 2 days.. been working fine up until then.. have you got another path of diagnosis? [18:24] AndreMorro[BR]: I tried dualscreen but then XBMC streched over both screen (and since the resolution is different it was crap. [18:25] Slart: thats what i mean. i mean i want to have 2 user that both have passwords but one is able to install and other not.i know i have to add one to sudoers but when i do that and log in in ubuntu with limited account i have noway to do admin stuff(it asks for password but accept neither password as correct).i thought ubuntu disabled root for seciurity reasons. what security is that that i have a user that can install apps and do other admin stuff with his own [18:25] login pass ,or have to logout and login in a admin user to to do admin stuff?? [18:25] hello [18:25] Izinucs: what happened in the last two days that could cause the issue ? [18:25] kanzie, at the nvidia-settings theres should be a thing to make the Main Display [18:25] !netsplit [18:25] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [18:25] im speak spanish [18:25] erUSUL: an update probably [18:25] Izinucs: kernel ? [18:25] netsplit [18:25] !es | CARMENCERES [18:25] Holy [18:25] CARMENCERES: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [18:25] we speaks spanish? [18:26] CARMENCERES: not here; join #ubuntu-es [18:26] I just copied a 45000 line allow list in to a rough draft of a new .htaccess file... my goal is to deny all that are not US IPs... I didn't think the allow list would be that long... am I right to think that a .htaccess file that long will cause me problems? [18:26] erUSUL: no.. there was a kernel upgrade a week or so ago.. but I didn't notice a change after that .. at least that I can remember. [18:26] CARMENCERES: type "/join #ubuntu-es" without the "" and hit enter [18:26] we is english? [18:26] rd1381: sorry.. I think there was a netsplit there.. [18:26] me not very good speak inglish [18:27] CARMENCERES, vá para o canal #ubuntu-es para ajuda em espanhol [18:27] Izinucs: so what was updated ? do you remember ? [18:27] rd1381: I'm not sure if having a separate password gives you any extra security.. but you can always run stuff like gksudo -u adminuser synaptic to run synaptic as the adminuser instead of limiteduser [18:27] Slart: i know that [18:28] Slart: but it doesnt work on gui clicks [18:28] erUSUL: not specifically.. I updated another machine today (a different one) and there were some new pulseaudio libraries.. however it was a 8.04 machine not a 9.10 machine like the one I'm trying to fix.. [18:28] Slart: you know.. clicking and askiing for admin pass( like windows would) [18:28] CARMENCERES mis espanol es muy mal pero is usd ponga /join #ubuntu-es esta mas personas hablen espanol [18:29] is [18:29] Izinucs: really dunno; i take that you are in kubuntu seeing kmix there; and i take you already checked all channels in the mixer for mute or low volume ... [18:29] rd1381: doesn't work on gui clicks? I'm not sure I understand.. you mean it doesn't do it by itself when it notices that what the user is trying to do requires admin privileges? [18:29] erUSUL: yep.. (been around a while.. you might know me as Scunizi :) ).. [18:30] hi [18:30] awsome [18:30] Hi, all. The hard drive of my laptop is dying, so i'm trying to mount its encrypted data on another ubuntu laptop. But user ids are different. Okay, i'm not very clear, but here's my question: can I create 2 entries in /etc/passwd having different usernames but the same uid/gid ? [18:30] is it possible i can copy files from a network having windows xp os? [18:31] pat|nG, linux copy from windows or windows copy from linux? [18:31] Slart: no imean many of ubuntu admin apps are icons that u click and have parameteres and stuff, and clicking on them wont work in limited account because it asks for password but neither admin passs or limited pass works [18:31] linux copy from windows [18:31] erUSUL: actually kpackagekit has a nice History feature.. [18:31] Izinucs: ^.^ ok; i'm not familiar with pa admin utilities in kde... maybe it is there where the problem lies (is a mess volume contrlas in alsa and anothe bunch in pa but anyway) [18:32] Izinucs: checked the pulseaudio volume levels etc... [18:32] pat|nG, sure, if you have ubuntu you can clic in Places -> network [18:32] pat|nG, and find you machine there [18:32] rd1381: ah.. yes, that's true.. you'll have to start them manually from a terminal, using gksudo [18:32] erUSUL: are the pulseaudio levels controlled seperately from kmix (alsamixer)? [18:32] my screen saver is acting buggy. Whenever I put my password in to get to my desktop the screen saver reappears frozen. I can alt-tab to different open programs but none show up. My only option has been to restart my computer every time. I am using Ubuntu 9.10 and gnome [18:33] timbojimbo, do you have desktop effects on? try disabling it [18:33] Hello. Are there no more device paths for usb devices(eg photo camera) in 9.10? [18:33] Izinucs: there are; do you have pavucontrol installed ? [18:33] erUSUL: nope [18:33] Slart: yeah that would work but that a wordaround is'nt it? imean clicking and asking for password doesnt work and should be fixed so its a bug [18:34] AndreMorro[BR], it is set to none [18:34] How can I access a USB device raw in 9.10? Theres no more /dev/sdXX === nastas_ is now known as nastas [18:34] Izinucs: can you install it to check ? [18:34] timbojimbo, have any 3D boards like Nvidia or Ati? [18:34] creative_, No mre /dev/sdxx? [18:34] erUSUL: sure.. it'll pull in a bunch of gtk libraries.. but it's worth a shot [18:34] Izinucs if you have problem with sound muted, you may check if you have alsa stuff installed [18:34] coolcat: Not for USB devices. [18:34] AndreMorro[BR], Yeah I have nvidia [18:35] timbojimbo, the nvidia drivers are properly installed? [18:35] coolcat: Its there for my primary HD. But not for USB. [18:35] heya.. im using dhcpd... is there a way to find the current leases? [18:35] rd1381: yes, it's a work around, indeed. I would say that showing a password dialog where the current user password doesn't work would count as a bug.. if the user doesn't have the right permissions to run the app it should just give some kind of error, if you ask me. I would say its a bug, yes [18:35] I have a bootable ubuntu on SD card, configured exactly the way I like it. Whats the easiest way to clone it to fresh SD? [18:35] is it possible i can copy files from a network having windows xp os? [18:35] AndreMorro[BR], Yup [18:35] coolcat: But the folder opens and displays content when inserted. [18:35] !grub2 [18:35] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [18:35] coolcat: But theres nothing in mtab ;( [18:35] sillyCEO: have a look at dd [18:35] coolcat: Pretty strange [18:35] timbojimbo, its only with passwords or any kinda screensaver?? [18:35] erUSUL: I'll be right back.. gotta log out and back in again === homer is now known as Guest82857 [18:36] Slart: anyway thanks for replys. you think i should fill arequest or but report or something in ubuntu launchpad? [18:36] creative_, so you do not have the file /dev/sdb1 for example? [18:36] * adalal1 needs help [18:36] coolcat: Nope. [18:36] jellow: I did see taht- couldn't believe it would be as easy as one command in terminal. Have you tried it? [18:36] !ask | adalal1 [18:36] adalal1: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [18:36] coolcat: If I look at the path it tells me: gphoto2://[usb:002,004]/ [18:36] rd1381: yes.. either report it as a bug or add something to the.. what's it called.. brainstorm? [18:36] sillyCEO: no [18:36] coolcat: But I need to access the FS raw [18:37] Slart:thanks [18:37] coolcat: For running testdisk on it. Lost photos on a digicam. [18:37] rd1381: I would be happy to add a "me too" if you report it.. just give me the url [18:37] creative_, its a raw harddrive or pendrive? is that right? [18:37] AndreMorro[BR]: Its a digital camera [18:37] jellow - OK I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the tip. [18:37] creative_, it should recoganize as a normal sdXX [18:37] AndreMorro[BR], I have it set to Random and it is usually the dremples and a few others that do it [18:38] sillyCEO: Little warning be very careful with it make backups [18:38] timbojimbo, try not using the screensavers that do that [18:38] AndreMorro[BR]: Theres nothing in dmesg about a /dev/sdXX [18:38] creative_: you will have to find a way to access it as usb storage or photorec wont work [18:38] erUSUL: suddenly and without explanation audio is working again.. not sure how.. but it is.. didn't do that after my last reboot trying to fix this.. [18:38] creative_, nothing saying new device pluged and stuff like that?? [18:38] jellow: thanks [18:38] erUSUL: Exactly. [18:38] Izinucs: magic :) [18:38] Izinucs: same thing happened to me =/ [18:38] creative_, I do not know why you don't have them, but you can create a device, but you would have to know some information about fs type etc .. i cannot help ypu with this [18:38] AndreMorro[BR]: It does. But I think somehow they changed usb device handling in 9.10 [18:39] erUSUL: the the support industry we refer to that as FM.. if you get my drift :) [18:39] coolcat: okay, thx anyway [18:39] New problem: When I switch off my WIFI router, ubuntu throws up a dialog ("Authentication require by wireless network"). I'm leaving this unsupervised, so I want NO dialog... just want it to keep trying to hop back on. Any ideas? [18:39] creative_, funny thing... i work with a few cameras here... they are all set to work as "usb storage device" and works smooth [18:39] hey, can anyone field a question about Ubuntu on a PowerBook? [18:39] creative_: maybe your camera has not that option and you have to plug the camera card directly to the pc (via a card reader of course ) [18:39] !ask | avelldiroll [18:39] avelldiroll: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [18:39] !ask | avi_ [18:39] avi_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [18:39] AndreMorro[BR]: 9.10 ? Because the path that it shows in nautilus is: gphoto2://[usb:002,004]/ [18:39] avelldiroll, sorry [18:40] Izinucs: XD [18:40] creative_, yeah, 9.10... what your dmesg says? [18:40] erUSUL: Not that I now. [18:40] creative_, PVT or pastebin.com [18:40] Is there a reason Ubuntu gives me max 45 minutes to an hour on my powerbook? (With a newish battery)? [18:40] AndreMorro[BR]: Its only 2 relevant lines... So I paste it here [18:41] [79900.670088] usb 2-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4 [18:41] [79900.824634] usb 2-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice [18:41] Because i get more than twice that with OSX [18:41] Hi gang, I'm trying to get wifi master mode working on my intel 5300 chip, with karmic. But no joy.. "iwconfig wlan0 mode master" gives "SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument". Anyone know if this chip works as an AP? [18:41] creative_, awsome... [18:41] creative_, afraid i cant help you [18:41] avi_, let say that OSX is optimized for your hardware... [18:41] AndreMorro[BR]: Okay. Too bad. I guess they changed the whole USB handling for digital cameras in 9.10 [18:42] creative_: as i said if your camera can nt be configured to be usb storage you will have tom plug the card directly to the computer via a card reader [18:42] Of course, but why should Ubuntu fail so much with power management? [18:42] creative_, I agree wirh erUSUL [18:42] creative_: that depends on the camera not on the version of ubuntu [18:42] avi_, maybe you need to do some fine-tunning [18:42] thats what I assumed. [18:42] erUSUL: Ah okay. [18:42] any idea on where to start? [18:42] im a Ubuntu noob. [18:42] Hi I am a troll [18:42] avi_, disabling services you don't need... [18:42] erUSUL: I just wondered because it used to have /dev/sdXX on 9.04 [18:43] jkjakajkaj a a troll [18:43] jakjakajkajkajka [18:43] erUSUL: Thanks a lot. Will try to remove the card [18:43] no sabes hablar español [18:43] avi_, its a PPC processor right? [18:43] Does anyone recommend a way to set up a wifi link as an AP? [18:43] Oh, I was thinking more like specifying to ubuntu what my setup is [18:43] yeah, 1.5GHz G4 [18:43] creative_: is like some mp3 players (specially ipod) they have propietary protocols (or mdp) to load files on them. so you need itunes or crap like that === The_ManU_212 is now known as The_ManU_212_afk [18:44] erUSUL: Okay. I see [18:44] creative_: I just wondered because it used to have /dev/sdXX on 9.04 <<< if that's true then maybe is a config option on the camera [18:44] avi_, a quick googling says that disabling the therm module in etc modules will help [18:44] avi_, hm... try powertop programa, its a nice way to start [18:44] erUSUL: Hm. Maybe... Trying to get a device path now when just inserting card [18:44] creative_: my phone can act as a usb storage or as a modem. is a config in the phone (appears when i plug it ) [18:44] erUSUL: Yep, works ;) [18:44] creative_, I do not know why you don't have them, but you can create a device, but you would have to know some information about fs type etc .. i cannot help ypu with this [18:44] Thanks, lateJesus, I'll check that out. [18:45] hi, when I access a video on Youtube I get a blank box, no place to click , nothing. Yesterday it was plays videos normally, what could have happened? [18:45] coolcat, try updating your system (sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade) [18:46] howdy [18:46] coolcat: - check your firefor pluggins proballyone disabled is all [18:48] how can i put a passwd on my terminal? [18:48] just type it [18:48] you wont see it [18:48] pat|nG, you want to be prompt a password before open terminal?? [18:48] !details | pat|nG [18:48] pat|nG: Please give us full details.

[19:19] bbl [19:19] Matson and dangerous [19:20] Matson: no because normally you dont want a second user [19:20] geirha: i guess i can write a new script that does a killall on that command and then runs my version [19:20] iceroot: all your programs should access the mysql db with the root user? [19:21] Matson: and what should the script create? a second user without any rights? and if he should get some rights at setup, to what database? think about it [19:21] infid: Or edit xorg.conf. man synaptics [19:21] iceroot: I have, walk the install user through creating a database, a user, and the rights for that user [19:22] iceroot: that would seem more prudent than nothing [19:22] Slart: I have now got an idea what lernid is for. -- Thank you. -- Can you also tell me how I can load this program or join a website 'learnid'? [19:22] Matson: for that there is mysqladmin [19:22] geirha: i dont even have a xorg.conf on this system yet it's still running that command on startup [19:22] Matson: no need for doing that at the setup [19:22] bullgard: I have no idea.. that was just the first hit when I googled for "lernid" [19:22] Matson: generally, I like that there are no users created by default. In addition to avoiding the sticky topic of 'what permissions should this user have', you get some practice/refresher on creating users after a fresh install :) [19:22] can someone help me backup a dvd using dvdbackup?

Ubuntu doesn't seem to detect my monitor using DVI but it can detect it when I use RBG. I bought a new 1GB 250OC video card hoping that might fix the problem [19:54] reginald_, thats pretty funny cuz I use a FX5200 also in a 19' screen and everything worked almost out of the box... installed the drivers reboot, and BANG! 1280x1024 === ldlework_ is now known as ldlework === elitedev is now known as elitedev-afk [19:55] AndreMorro[BR]: does other include root?

I"m switching my 8800GTX for a GTS 250 OC [19:56] reginald_, have you installed the proper drivers for you video card? [19:56] luisgmarine, I would recomend you to remove the actual drivers (nvidia-180 I guess) then swapping and adding the new one (196 i guess) [19:57] if you have isntalled the latest (190 +) don't need to [19:57] meestermole, just ask your question, don't ask to ask a question [19:57] AndreMorro[BR], are the 196 in the repos?

[19:58] which one's are the proper one's to install [19:58] reginald_, which release are you on? [19:58] AndreMorro[BR], yeah I've done it before. But I'm wondering if that could be the cause of Ubuntu not recognizing my monitor in DVI mode [19:58] does anyone have a major delay when using grub2?? [19:58] luisgmarine, its possible, cant be sure till you tested [19:58] AndreMorro[BR], I need to find someone else with a DVI port on their computer to hook up to my monitor so that I can know for sure my monitor is not the one at fault. [19:59] thanx guys! got to go! see yah!

I don't run a gui [20:16] hold on, Matson [20:16] meestermole, I'm going to guess that the routing information is still in cache and is why your still awry [20:16] Matson: use apt then [20:17] Matson: ok, for command line --> apt-get install --resinatll [20:17] Matson: Or sudo aptitude reinstall [20:17] Matson: ok, for command line --> apt-get install --reinstall [20:17] is that a known issue with totem?

[20:20] Dream Demon [20:20] i have a problem when i click on terminals in X.. more often than not, it's interpreted as a double click [20:20] using the networking utility, i see no routing information [20:20] AndreMorro[BR]: picasa segfaults in Lucid.. :/ [20:20] zamba: please explain more [20:21] under 1pv4 settings, routing - there is nothing entered [20:21] im installing ubuntu 9.10 64bit, im partitioning my drive to 50gb /home and 50gb / how much swap space should i use? [20:21] daedhel: when you click on a window, it should just make it active.. but when you double click on an image, it tries automatically selecting text for copying.. [20:21] Suhail: What's the error message exactly? [20:21] inko: the same amount of memory as your RAM + 1GB [20:21] anyone know anything about UBUNTU, I am about to uninstall it if I don't get some answers! [20:21] !ask | FabioTheApe [20:21] FabioTheApe: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [20:21] ok thanks Trek [20:22] daedhel: but then you explicitly have to double click it.. now, after upgrading to 9.10, i get this behavior when single clicking.. not all the time, but often enough so that's annoying [20:22] inko: that depends on your RAM and if you want to "suspend to disk" [20:22] I have asked about 4 times [20:22] whoops, wronng ! [20:22] FabioTheApe: just ask again [20:22] I have the dell v10 running karmic NBR, and I'm pretty sure this netbook has a bluetooth card it says so on the dell site, but when I run the command hciconfig -a it doesnt report any devices, is there anything else I can check? [20:22] FabioTheApe: we don't always see your messages [20:22] Suhail: and «ls -ld /path/to/folder» shows drwxrwx--- ? [20:22] zamba: maybe setting your double click sesibility lower in settings ? [20:22] FabioTheApe: note I've asked a question 3 times and haven't gotten an answer yet [20:22] guntbert, how can i tell how much ram i have? === nosrepa is now known as aperson [20:22] geirha: had to reconnect [20:22] daedhel: it's not the double click setting [20:22] I'm trying to set up dual monitors on an HP Media Center PC that has a vga port that isn't on the graphics card. How do I get ubuntu to recognize it? [20:22] daedhel: because that's set high enough [20:22] i just installed ubuntu.  i swear it looks the same as when i tried it 3 years ago [20:22] Trek, when I try to play a DVD using TOTEM it won't let me unless I right click on the dvd and tell it to open using the movie player [20:23] rasstar: server-edition? :) [20:23] desktop [20:23] why no ui updates [20:23] what do you want it to actually do, just open automatically into movie player? [20:23] Just got an email from someone asking how to configure "ageresoftmodem" on Ubuntu 9.10. I have no idea what to tell them. [20:23] zamba: i don,t really have an aswer for you question, sorry, but you might wanna try Terminal from the xfce suite. I like it a loot [20:23] FabioTheApe, what do you want it to actually do, just open automatically into movie player? [20:24] anyone running wordpress on ubuntu? there how do I keep it up to date? wordpress is now running, but the tools says to upgrate and the upgrade fails (2.7.1 -> 2.9.1) [20:24] Trek, I want to be able to open up Totem, and click file, and then click play dvd [20:24] but when i do that Trek I get an error "can't open DVD" [20:24] i got a similar issue, but I don't know how to resolve it [20:24] how can I do extended desktop optiplex gx620. I tried using the standard configurations, but once I set the extended desktop, the computer freezes and I have to restart it. [20:24] toastedmilk: you have to setup your videocard drivers accordingly. what is it? nvidia or ati ? [20:24] I was just wondering if it was me, or a known issue [20:24] inko: you see it when booting - or you start the live system and there system/administration/system monitor - on the system tab [20:25] I guess maybe just tell them to go to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto [20:25] guntbert 3gb [20:25] While doing a custom compile for my server ( HP-DL385) I cant seem to get all the way through the compile without it bombing/not finishing. Stamp is disabled along with a ton of other un-necessary thinsg that I dont even have hardware for. http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d449faf50 [20:25] FabioTheApe, Trek , ubuntu doesnt come out of the box with libdvdcss .. you will have to google search to find how to install. be aware its illegal in the u.S without a license [20:26] DreamDemon: what are you compiling ? [20:26] daedhel, ati, but the ati card is lower on the case and has dvi ports. there is a vga port that is on the upper part of the back of the case, that isn't on the graphics card [20:26] inko: do you want to suspend to disk? [20:26] Well, seems the installation went all good, didn't lose any of my old ntfs patitions, except the one intended for ubutu [20:26] Kinetic|work, as I have said it works, just not the way expected [20:26] ikonia, the kernel [20:26] Kinetic|work: I also have Windows that works with DVDs [20:26] DreamDemon: why ? [20:26] toastedmilk: what makes you think its for a 2nd monitor ? [20:26] DreamDemon: what's wrong with the stock one ? [20:26] guntbert, not really sure what that means, should i? [20:26] Trek windows is licensed to use libdvdcss [20:26] err dvdcss sorry :) [20:26] daedhel, because the monitor fits in the port, idk [20:26] ikonia, It's a server and need to squeeze as much perf out of it as possible [20:26] guntbert, i have 100gb free space im installing on [20:27] I cannot access config page to my NAS devices with 1 out of 3 of my PCs - anyone? [20:27] as I said, Kinetic|work, I use Windows to play DVDs (it runs smoother for me) [20:27] DreamDemon: then don't custom compile - it will get more juice out of it [20:27] Just a quick question, every time I browse to on of the old drivers it automaticaly creates a "icon" on one of the workspaces, any chance I could turn that off? [20:27] DreamDemon: if you think a custom kernel will squeeze juice out of your box, your not living in a real world [20:27] toastedmilk: that probably is you motherboard's card, wich is desactivated when you intall another card on it [20:27] daedhel, any way to get them both working? [20:27] ikonia, So I can zet timeers higher then 100 Mhz without re-compiling? [20:27] toastedmilk: nope [20:28] ikonia, amongst other things [20:28] DreamDemon: why do you feel setting the timers will give you more performance / [20:28] inko: it means you can tell the system to write everything in memory to the disk and shut off power - that way it will restart faster and at the same point you were before - in windows its called hibernate [20:28] hello [20:28] guntbert, then yeah [20:28] ikonia, One of the things running on this machine is a game server. Need to increase the I/O timers for fps boosting [20:29] DreamDemon: it really won't make a differnce, you're living in a false economy [20:29] !mencoder [20:29] daedhel, that puzzles me. [20:30] DreamDemon: that sort of thing is for very specific tuning, things like hpc, or high io database servers, a games server you won't see a difference [20:30] inko: then the first advice (way up) was good - but 3GB swap (same as RAM) will be ok too [20:30] guntbert, ok thanks [20:30] ikonia, So stipiing out the un-necessary garbage out of the kernel and custom compiling for my Opteron-HE's wont make a difference in how well the kernel code performs on the machine?

You can find pieces of his thinking at http://www.markshuttleworth.com [20:30] DreamDemon: no [20:30] Slart: Thanks for your suggestion, but I don't see anything in /var/log/syslog that helps.... [20:30] hi, where is my screen (display) resolution set? (filename)? [20:30] inko: you're welcome :-) === terje_ is now known as terje [20:30] deshymers1: According to http://www.dell.com/us/en/dfh/notebooks/laptop-inspiron-10/pd.aspx?refid=laptop-inspiron-10&cs=22&s=dfh Bluetooth is optional [20:31] I would imagine it's /etc/X11/xorg.conf but it's actually not there. [20:31] !offtopic PeterParker [20:31] !offtopic | PeterParker [20:31] ikonia, Since when does that not help a machine and it's overhead?!?

[20:31] PHughes: hmm.. not sure if there are other logs that might be interesting [20:32] DreamDemon: it never has, your whole system would need to be optimised and it's still a false economy [20:32] my what is missing? [20:32] my resolution is not in that file. [20:32] although it is set properly [20:32] check the xorg for include [20:32] ah [20:33] Guys. I have gotten a dual monitor setup for my computer. What mode should I run? [20:33] separate screens or twinview? [20:33] no includes.. [20:33] hello people are there any helpers here? [20:33] ikonia, Funny, been using linux for more then 10 years and thats the first I've heard that slimming down the kernel does not help with overhead or unwanted/needed drivers [20:33] terje im stuck thensorry:( [20:33] I like seperate screens [20:33] ok, thanks. [20:33] DreamDemon: the ubuntu kernel is modular, it only loads what it's needed, that would only help with a monolitic kernel [20:33] !ask | PeterParker [20:33] PeterParker: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily).

[20:35] hey guys I just changed my monitors connection from RBG to DVI and I can't seem to change my resolution. How do I re-install the nvidia drivers? [20:35] holaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa [20:36] hey [20:36] ikonia, So basically what your telling me is that I should not care about the excess thats sitting on a limited machine where I need higher io for my database functions, not to mention supposedly that wont increase performance on registers with a game where thats been overly documented it does? [20:36] Im trying to play some midi files from the web but cant get it to work.. anyone here who can help me?

[20:40] Okay, first question: What's the easiest way for me to install Firefox 3.6 on Ubuntu 9.04? [20:40] Nachturnal: I advise you not to - firefox is very intergrated into the desktop [20:40] ikonia, You've basically stated that I'm living a false economy but those others are not liars, therefore creating a contradiction without any supporting reference point [20:40] Nachturnal: what do you need from 3.6 that 3.5 doesn't give you [20:40] download the archive from mozilla site [20:41] extract it and run it [20:41] Hey guys my Fedora-12 torrent just finished, It has the iso a Checksum and a readme-sources, do I burn all of them to a cd? [20:41] DreamDemon: no, I'm stating in certain sitautions it may increase a performance increase, but not in the case of the ubuntu box and any increase would not be worth the overhead [20:41] What's up #ubuntu, I need a little help. Does anybody have a chart for C variable declarations (eg. %c, %d)thanks a ton [20:41] ikonia, I have 3.0.17. I want do stay up-to-date with Firefox releases for security purposes, and to keep up with new features. [20:41] psyk: join ##c [20:41] Nachturnal: what new features ? [20:41] ikonia, thanks, I didn't know that channel existed lol [20:41] Purpley: sounds like a question for a channel like #fedora, don't you think? [20:41] Purpley: what has that to do wit ubuntu? [20:42] seriously, and personally i have not observed any difference between firefox 3.5 and firefox 3.6 on ubuntu (at least not visually) [20:42] *with [20:42] ikonia, private browsing, and whatever else they add as time goes by. I like to know what's included in programs I frequently recommend to friends/family. [20:42] Nachturnal: you can install firefox-3.5 using synaptic === psyk is now known as neconide [20:42] I didn't know there was a fedora channel either way I didn't think it was that inconvenient [20:42] Nachturnal: then I suggest you trust the ubuntu developers who do back ports for security bugs [20:42] deshymers1: Well, if there is one that it just can't understand is for Bluetooth... : lspci | grep Bluetooth or: lsusb | grep Bluetooth should show it [20:43] Nachturnal: they put a lot of time into making sure the packages are compatible, if you care about security you won't break the compatability work that's been put into the package on your machine and trust the ubuntu developers to update when needed [20:43] genii: cool I will give those a try then, thanks :) [20:43] Purpley, #fedora [20:43] I know [20:43] genii: been reading about it for some time, pretty sure I tried those commands, but will give it another shot :) [20:43] is there another IRCchannel focused more on networking in ubuntu? === yohan is now known as yohan14 [20:43] ikonia, So ubuntu server ( not desktop) is optimized for twin dual core opteron he's out of the box without any extras running and code is for lack of a better way of putting it optimized for an amd64 chipset and since all the drivers are modular ( which they arent) I dont need to worry about the impact on the sytem when I'm trying to create a high performance realtime server? [20:43] meestermole: no [20:43] meestermole: #neyworking [20:43] deshymers1: If it gives some result, you can try searching for the Vendor:Device code to see if some way to get it working [20:43] meestermole: #networking [20:44] Nachturnal: there is a PPA with daily builds of firefox 3.6.. make sure you understand what you're doing and be prepared to fix bugs yourself if something bad happens [20:44] Somehow I don't think a newer version of Firefox is likely to wreck Ubuntu on my box. And if it does, then I'd rather switch to a distro that's a little more 'free'. [20:44] In need some support on midi playback, anyone can help? [20:44] anyone familiar with xen?

Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MidiSoftwareSynthesisHowTo [20:44] DreamDemon: ubuntu is smp read out of the box yes, there is no point optimising your kernel if things like your core c libaries are not optimised the same, and the work of doing all that will not increase the performance for you by any extent [20:44] genii: ok, thats a good idea as well, it says its enabled in the bios which is another reason why i think this netbook has it [20:44] DreamDemon: sorry "ready" [20:44] Jason_: yes, why ? [20:44] thanks ill check it out [20:44] daedhel, but whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy [20:45] one of my images died on me [20:45] ikonia, Then why shouldnt I just switch to winblows since it too is 'optimized' out of the box [20:45] DreamDemon: you're welcome to do so, but most common linux boxes have better through put, but it's your call (it's also called windows) [20:45] DreamDemon, because windows sucks donkey balls [20:45] i can access it...but i cant get network access or mount filesystems to dump mysql database file [20:45] toastedmilk: nonsense, please odn't make wild and silly comments [20:45] can any body can tell me how to disable unmount option from side pan for internal drive [20:45] ikonia, personally against windows.

For more information, please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UNR - support in #ubuntu [22:50] fluxy: http://www.ubuntu.com/GetUbuntu/download-netbook [22:50] just tried "dig @8.8.8.8 google.com" and it says: http://pastebin.org/82324 [22:51] happy: the get download page does not have bittorrent [22:51] happy, looks like the bot was just being slow - lol [22:51] Hi! How to append a string on a bash-variable, like file="myfile" --> $fileiscool <-- doesn't work because interpreter looks for variable "myfileiscool" [22:51] whereas "ping 8.8.8.8" produces: http://pastebin.org/82325 [22:51] DreamDemon|compi: or Pici did it ;-) [22:51] i just don't get it..... [22:51] Subby: ask in #bash [22:51] sry, looks for variable "fileiscool" [22:51] erUSUL: okay, sorry [22:51] magik_: disable whatever you tomato router is doing [22:52] * DreamDemon|compi sings 'Compiling we will go, compiling we will go - hi ho a derio a compiling we will go" [22:52] magik_: it may be hijacking your dns request. [22:52] i've tried that as well - the other weird thing, is that the tomato router gets DHCP ip from ISP - and it doesn't obtain any nameservers either [22:52] has anyone used filestat ? if so where can i get it [22:52] DreamDemon|compi: that sounds like a great song for the go programming language :-P [22:52] does anybode know how to get sound working on gyachi on kubuntu 9.10. pulse audio plug in selected but still no luck [22:52] macman_: wha t does filestat do ? [22:52] and when i tcpdump the interface - and do a dig - i don't see any traffic [22:53] erUSUL: dunno .. thats why im asking you -_- [22:53] happy, Just wasting time while I compile a vanilla kernel to MY needs [22:53] magik_: hm... I got know ideas [22:53] dig is UDP based [22:53] IIRC dig uses tcp when you do the @ [22:53] DreamDemon|compi: as I said, you should sing it on #go-nuts lol [22:53] happy, lol [22:53] magik_: what does this do.. telnet 8.8.8.8 53 [22:53] DreamDemon|compi: go-nuts is the programming language [22:54] terje: seems to connect fine [22:54] thanks for your help erUSUL [22:54] anyone tried the vanilla install for usb? (if that what its acalled) [22:54] happy, I shoud join and post that then leave - lol [22:54] BAiNE: no problem [22:54] DreamDemon|compi: lol [22:54] or at least doesn't complain about connecting - what do i type once i telnet to get a response? [22:54] h0rnman: Device = Identifier "Configured Video Device", [22:54] Monitor = Identifier "Generic Monitor", [22:54] Screen = Identifier "Default Screen" <- this is what i have [22:55] how do I enable mouse scrolling of my desktops? I'm playing with viewport, but I still can't get it to scroll with the mouse. Call me an idiot.... [22:55] nothing [22:55] happy, If I get a good compile this time I'm gonna be soooooo annoyed with git [22:55] type CTRL + ] to disconnect [22:55] quentin, Try changing them all to read "Default Screen" [22:55] terje: seems to connect - if i type anything - it just says Connection closed by foreign host. [22:55] madmike use the cube, and mouse scroller to rotate [22:55] h0rnman: going to try that [22:55] DreamDemon|compi: compiling a kernel with next to nothing in it is hard. I tried that :-\ [22:55] do you see: Connected to 8.8.8.8. === jimmy_birer is now known as gtfo [22:55] after you telnet? [22:55] windows or gtfo [22:55] ubuntu locked when screensavers activeded , ubuntu 6.x I can't solve [22:55] yeah [22:55] it says connected [22:55] ok, so TCP works [22:55] and i can ping 8.8.8.8 [22:56] but doing dig @8.8.8.8 hostname doesn't work [22:56] linux is a lose of time [22:56] and ICMP obviously works. [22:56] UDP does not work [22:56] all thse fucking nerds trying hard to make a fucking desktop [22:56] happy, Thats what I'm doing now. Stripped out all the crap that isnt even in my machine nor connected to it ( or ever will ) ... like token ring, atm, etc [22:56] DESU DESU DESU DESUDESU DESUDESU DESUDESU DESU [22:56] DESU DESUDESU DESUDESU DESUDESU DESUDESU DESU [22:56] gtfo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:56] DESU DESUDESU DESUDESU DESUDESU DESUDESU DESUDESU DESU [22:56] magik_: what does this return: dig @8.8.4.4 google.com [22:57] koshari: where is mouse scroller? I got desktop cube working, but I can't find any options. All it gives me is key grabbing [22:57] Seeker`, ty [22:57] DreamDemon|compi: I tried to strip out everything that was not needed for a vm [22:57] madmike in between the left and right buttons on the mouse [22:57] terje: http://pastebin.org/82328 [22:57] ok [22:57] Hi all. My laptop DVD drive seems to click every few minutes - I think this might be to do with the kernel polling for a new disc, but it appears as a bug. Does anyone have any info? [22:58] happy, amusing how I havent gotten nearly the error msgs from vanilla as I did from git so far [22:58] DreamDemon|compi: I suggest starting with the ubuntu sources. They are patched to work with ubuntu [22:58] magik_: perhaps they blocked yo [22:58] madmike i take it you have a scroller on your mouse? [22:58] koshari: My middle button (scroll button) isn't registering [22:58] if i do a /etc/init.d/network-manager restart - will it re-aquire the DHCP settings? [22:58] magik_: what does this report: dig @198.6.1.1 google.com [22:59] 198.6.1.1 ? one sec, im rebooting my router remotely.... im at work.... this is sort of a bitch [22:59] happy, I did and it puked every time. Something to do with merged config files. Tired of it puking and manually force feeding it to work like it's supposed to [22:59] madmike open up xev and check for what event your scroller posts [22:59] When my mouse is on the edges (top, bottom, left, right) when I am in an application I cannot scroll I have to have my mouse pointer not on the edges. Does anything have any suggestions? [22:59] h0rnman: wtf! my settings didn't stay on reboot, and now i have less resolutions to choose from in nvidia-settings [22:59] anyone* [22:59] magik_: to restart your local interfaces, do: /etc/init.d/networking restart [23:00] same thing terje - as the 8.8.4.4. or 8.8.8.8 [23:00] cool, never knew about xev, thanks [23:00] which resolutions are available? [23:00] you're blocking outbound UDP port 53 [23:00] hrm..... [23:00] quentin: Could you have chosen an invalid setting and forced a failsafe situation? [23:00] Hello!! can somebody help me?? i have a black screen when i activate the restricted drivers for my nvidia graphic card on my laptop =( using ubunto 9.10 and i have the same problem when i install it manually downloading the latest driver from nvida website [23:00] When my mouse is on the edges (top, bottom, left, or right) and I try to scroll using my mouse wheel I cannot scroll I have to have my mouse pointer not on the edges. Does anyone have any suggestions for this? [23:00] madmike then you somply allocate the key to the binding [23:01] tUibm: Yep - don't use the restricted driver :-) [23:01] madmike my scroller is button 4 and button 5 [23:01] i have an LDAP user with an NFS mounted home directory across ubuntu 8.10 and 9.10 clients. how would i append a "." to my sh PATH in a way across all these computers? i tried putting, "export PATH=$PATH:." in .profile but . still doesn't show up in PATH === bz is now known as brez_ [23:01] bcj: possible. yet my settings worked in intrepid. not in karmic [23:01] how the hell did this happen overnight.... [23:01] ganymede: put it in .bashrc [23:02] quentin: Are you using the same driver? [23:02] quentin, which resolutions do you have available right now? [23:02] koshari: yup, button 2 is scroller, and 4/5 for up/down, they are already assigned to events, just nothing happens when I try to use them [23:02] magik_: looked into the /var/log/Xorg.0.log ?? [23:02] ganymede: puting . in your path is not considered a good idea [23:02] ganymede: not a great idea.. but that syntax is correct for bashrc files === sebi_` is now known as sebi` [23:02] terje: beat you to it :-P === brez_ is now known as brez [23:03] :) [23:03] bcj: but i cant see fullscreen videos without it.... =( and i cant use the full graphic enviroment.... [23:03] ganymede: do *not* do that. period [23:03] I have managed to find torrents for various ubuntu images, including unr: http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/ . Thanks All. [23:03] erUSUL: why Xorg log? [23:03] fluxy: great :-) [23:03] is there an easy/clean wyt o kill kde once its launched...other than logging out [23:04] madmike thats odd? possobly you have a clash of events, however it will usually trll you, [23:04] happy, it's a workaround for a program that expects "source myscript.sh" to source "./myscript.sh" but in sh 4.x, they removed . for the search path for "source". currently, i'm adding a line of code in the python source to workaround this but it's becoming cumbersome to keep patching the python source [23:04] magik_: oops sorry; not for you [23:04] ok, i was like wtf does X have to do with DNS hahaha [23:04] koshari: thanks for the help, I have to go though, I'll keep playing with it later though [23:04] ganymede: use $HOME instead [23:04] but that does bring me to another problem - ever since upgrading the distro - my VMWARE can't get good drivers.... but whatever, that doesn't bother me a lot right now [23:04] hello - looking for some help with S3 video on xubuntu8.04 x86 - live cd seemed to live the video card fine and loaded my monitor's native res automatically but after install has completed it is defaulting to either 8x6 or lower not sure which. [23:04] ganymede: why not put in the path where myscript is [23:04] freaking DNS not working is pissing me off [23:04] h0rnman: 1360x768, 152x864, 1024x768, 800x600, 680x384, 640x480, 512x384, 400x300, 320x240 [23:04] o_o [23:05] so what updates resolv.conf ? i thought network-manager ? [23:05] h0rnman: I had many more before. lol [23:05] happy, well i could try that...but then i don't know where else this python program does "sh -c "source myscript.sh"" so i would have to go and find all scripts that it sources and add them all to PATH [23:05] madmike the cursur needs to be on the desktop and NOT over an app for rotate btw [23:05] magik_: dhclient updates /etc/resolv.conf [23:05] ganymede: . file works fine here (for sourcing) or did i missandertood you ? [23:06] quentin, try setting something via nvidia-config, then restart X [23:06] well, that's one of the programs that touches /etc/resolv.conf, network-manager also does [23:06] anyone??? [23:06] if you hard-code DNS servers in it [23:06] so, when is sun-java6-jdk broken packages thing in the repos actually going to be fixed? Last I saw there was a ticket saying "this is just a problem with the headers" and no workaround or anything ... [23:06] otherwise dhclient gets them off the network [23:06] grrrrr - so my router is my DHCP server - it gets the DHCP dns nameservers from my ISP - i DHCP to the router - and it gives me the nameservers as well..... [23:06] I should never have upgraded to 9.10 [23:06] somebody of you has been in the talks of day of the user's ubuntu? [23:06] now why the hell is it getting blocked [23:06] nvidia settings Model is set to CRT as well. I have an LCD [23:06] is there a way to dns resolve over tcp? [23:06] ganymede: could be just that the program spects sh to be bash and it braks becouse in ubuntu/debian sh is *dash* [23:07] h0rnman: what command should i use to restart x [23:07] magik_: have you tried your ISP's name servers? [23:07] quentin, again...try adjusting your settings in nvidia-config to something more sensical, then reboot [23:07] h0rnman: ok [23:07] terje - i just moved back to them now [23:07] erUSUL: I think the default _boot-time_ shell is DASH, but is the user shell default not still BASH? [23:08] at least getting them through DHCP from router - which just got them from DHCP from ISP [23:08] and that doesn't work either.... [23:08] erUSUL, make a file called test.sh in your current directory that does echo "HELLO" and then in sh, try ". test.sh" will not work but try ". ./test.sh" [23:08] quentin: /etc/init.d/gdm restart will restart your X session [23:08] my router is resolving them fine.... [23:08] bcj: yes login shell is bash. but /bin/sh is dash [23:08] w/o a reboot [23:08] so im guessing ur right... something is blocking my UDP [23:08] erUSUL: Ah [23:08] is there a default firewall in ubuntu? [23:08] should iptables have any entries in it? [23:08] bcj: pretty much they use dash as the default shell. But for users it is Bash. That way the system scipts have fast execution and the users get all the features of bash [23:08] gtg [23:09] terje, Yes, but we want to see if the settings will persist across a reboot [23:09] anyone use the sun java jdk on ubuntu, other than myself and the two other people who commented on the ticket regarding the issue? [23:09] happy: I'd like to see a VM-based shell that can run bytecode at boot-time. [23:09] A much better idea in my opinion :-) [23:09] ganymede: true [23:10] then reboot it ! [23:10] exit [23:10] don't ask how to restart X if you want to see if your settings persist a reboot. [23:10] jackalope [23:10] Hello!! can somebody help me?? i have a black screen when i activate the restricted drivers for my nvidia graphic card on my laptop =( using ubunto 9.10 and i have the same problem when i install it manually downloading the latest driver from nvida website === matteo is now known as Guest97526 [23:11] tUibm: Have you tried all of the options you get from the restricted driver tool? [23:11] Often you get the option to try the latest and a few stable versions. [23:11] back - the resolution defaulted to auto which shows a rather smallish resolution [23:12] my settings didn't stick [23:12] i cant, because when i activate it it ask me for a reboot... when a reboot i have the black screen.. [23:12] are your nvidia-config settings back to the low settings? [23:12] is there a graphical wget-like Software-Center for windows ???? [23:12] Hi, I'm looking at the wine-gecko package wondering if it will allow the poorly designed website to work; which refuses to work with anything other than internet explorer? [23:12] grrrr i dont get it.... i can do nslookup in win7 from behind the router - but the ubuntu box in my VM machine on my win7 box can't get dns? [23:13] h0rnman: the settings are back to low [23:13] quentin, ok....try running nvidia-config with gksudo this time. Also, is it still throwing those errors? [23:13] could it be a vmware setting screwing this up? i upgraded recently [23:13] erUSUL, rather than working around this in the python source (which apparently automatically updates itself for this proprietary app), i'd like to workaround it automatically for all machines that use this LDAP user [23:13] errr not vmware, but virtualbox [23:13] buttons84: I'm not sure, but if it's using the gecko engine it probably won't. But like I said, I'm not sure. [23:14] i can't get it to write to xorg.conf with gksudo [23:14] ganymede: funnily enough if the file is a dotfile it works .... « . .test » works but « . test » fails .... go figure [23:14] erUSUL, and what i'm also confused is that, "source ./myfile" doesn't work but ". ./myfile" works whereas i could swear i was using source rather than . in the past [23:15] buttons840: doubtful, there is ms ie for wine, though depending on what the site needs it might not work either [23:15] with sh on ubuntu 9.10 [23:15] How do i tell what group a function is in? [23:15] quentin, what do you mean by that? [23:15] i need to add my user to a group that has access to the serial ports (ttyS0 to ttyUSB0) [23:15] the resolution on the box when I got this monitor said 1440x900 yet that is not an option in nvidia-settings === gerrit is now known as Guest42247 [23:15] hlfshell: see what are the permissions of that files [23:15] Ravm, bah; it's frustrating to no end when flash works with any website but this very important site i need to use reports "flash 10 must be installed" so i surf over to adobes test site and a lovely flash 10 animation plays and says "you have flash 10 installed"; i call tech support and as soon as the the word "firefox" leave my mouth the conversation is over [23:15] ls -al erUSUL ? [23:15] hlfshell: ls -l /dev/ttyS0 [23:16] hlfshell: in my system group dialout can access it [23:16] in my system it complains about permissions [23:16] h0rnman: i thought maybe clicking "write to xorg" would keep the settings in nvidia-settings [23:17] quentin, can you run the nvidia configuration tool with superuser privs? [23:17] buttons840: I know what you mean, I have this site I have to visit regularly which fails to load on anything but IE6. I tried everything. [23:17] * erUSUL this groupname does not make sense anymore since serial modems are a thing of the past ... [23:17] if not, what does it do when you try? === Mowee is now known as Mowee`Bnc [23:17] usually it comes from websites required by work or school i notice, as any other website so narrow minded goes away quickly [23:17] h0rnman: i can use gksudo with nvidia-settings if that's what you mean [23:18] buttons840: True. [23:18] quentin: i usually run it by hitting alt+f2 to get the run box, then "gksudo nvidia-settings" there [23:18] why not? what happens when you try? [23:18] yeah [23:18] Hey guys, is there a way to stream a video stream of your desktop environment (display) to, say, an xbox 360 as a video feed? [23:18] Does anyone know how to make Wubi boot by default instead of windows? [23:18] that's it :) [23:18] Ravm, is there anything easy in the repos to install IE on ubuntu? [23:19] erUSUL: I still have a serial modem. I even used it once, about 6 months ago, when comcast shut me off by mistake. I even made them pay for a month's subscription to a dial-up service... [23:19] Losha: :) i stand corrected then XD my dial up modem is usb still in a box somewhere [23:20] ok, i ran gksudo nvidia-settings and I'm looking at the window now [23:20] buttons840: I just found this, not sure if it works though: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/ies4linux === tato is now known as tato- [23:20] Ravm, great, thanks for the help and listening to my rant :) [23:21] erUSUL: some ofthe more rural parts of the US still only have dialup, apparently. We hear from them here on IRC from time to time.... [23:21] what should i change in nvidia-settings? [23:21] talk about messed up. git source want to error out from hell but kernel.org source actually compiles woithout the headaches [23:21] quentin, can you change res settings? If so, change them to something resembling what they should be [23:22] then try to save them, then reboot and see if they stick [23:22] Is a firefix-3.6 package planned for Jaunty? [23:23] h0rnman: failed to parse, should I restart any way [23:24] quentin, nwhen did it say that? [23:24] How come I can't mount windows as an unprivileged user? [23:25] h0rnman: after clicking -> Save to X Configuration File [23:25] Hey guys, is there a way to stream a video stream of your desktop environment (display) to, say, an xbox 360 as a video feed? [23:26] Hello. I want to do some timeline-based video editing. What tool can I use on ubuntu? [23:27] wow...that was unexpected....try restarting...but I don't think it will work. You may have to roll back the MODES... changes you made earlier then try nvidia-settings as root again [23:27] guess what I got working [23:27] wifi :D [23:27] vlt: there are pitivi and kino, pitivi is due for inclsion in lucid btw. [23:27] ganymede: people over bash told me that it fails becouse bash look first in PATH for sourcing the file so if there is a file named like the script in path it will be sourced first [23:27] sdwrage vlc may have some way, but your looking at a lot of bandwidth, a similar outcome may be rdp [23:27] ganymede: and if it is a binary file bash chokes [23:27] weird.... i guess i figured out my problem... or at least bypassed it.... my tomato router has some DNS caching functionality - i guess u were right terje - it was intercepting my DNS rqeuests and i dunno wtf it was doing with them [23:28] How come I can't mount windows as an unprivileged user? How can I do so? [23:28] ughhhh now im getting bombarded with cron system messages yay [23:28] ganymede: echo 'echo "Hello"' > test.sh && . test.sh <<< this works here as spected [23:28] by any chance will anyone know how to save trackpad setting for a PPC G4 after initialising "sudo trackpad drag/tap [23:28] h0rnman: that's the error that comes up every time i try to save a resolution [23:28] after rebooting the computer the trackpadsetting do not take effect again until i type in the command [23:29] quentin you can always preview the xorg fille, then copy and past using gedit [23:30] quentin, well...try dropping to a terminal, backup xorg.conf, delete xorg.conf, then rerun nvidia-settings as superuser and see if it will let you save [23:30] i have found the command for the default root terminal [23:30] gksu /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator [23:30] ganymede: To be on the safe side, prepend it with a relative path, ./, like you do when executing something in the current dir. [23:31] How come I can't mount windows as an unprivileged user? How can I do so? [23:32] geirha, except that the python source that's firing off this source command likes to update itself and thus reset whatever workarounds i write into it [23:32] !ntfs|PlasmaSheep [23:32] PlasmaSheep: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [23:32] PlasmaSheep you mean your windows partition? [23:32] Hello. I have a printer problem: a Samsung CLP-310 under Ubuntu Karmic. It always prints the same error message as described here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/foo2zjs/+bug/306004 [23:32] On that same page it's suggested to "Manually set it to CLP-315 driver". How can I do it? [23:32] !ntfs-3g|PlasmaSheep [23:32] PlasmaSheep: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [23:32] koshari, probably not worth it :P I will stick to playing my snes roms on my PC [23:32] quentin, barring that, all I can suggest is to keep plugging away at it, using google to try to find a solution, or just roll back [23:33] we've reached the limit of what I know about X configs [23:33] sdwrage agreed [23:33] ganymede: Huh? You're trying to source a sh script in python? [23:33] geirha, yeah, it's not my python code, it's from sidefx for houdini 10.0 hqueue client, and that's what they do [23:34] ganymede: Why source it then? Why not just execute it? [23:35] quick question: is there a way to completely back up your system? i don't mean files, I mean everything--making an identical bootable copy (bootable only if necessary though) [23:35] clicker4721 there are many ways [23:35] I mainly just want to keep all my programs and all the configurations, the files don't mean as much to me, those are easy [23:35] koshari: such as... [23:35] ganymede: Well, the proper thing to do in any case is to file a bug on it. [23:35] clicker4721 dd partimage rsync ect [23:36] here is the HQCOMMANDS environmental variable: not sure how to interpret it but maybe you do: {"pythonCommands": "export HFS=\"/opt/HFS\" && python2.5", "hythonCommands": "export HFS=\"/opt/HFS\" && cd $HFS && source houdini_setup && hython -u", "mantraCommands": "export HFS=\"/opt/HFS\" && cd $HFS && source houdini_setup && python2.5 $HFS/houdini/scripts/hqueue/hq_mantra.py"} [23:36] i am having a little trouble with aptitude under sudo in karmic. for some reason i am able to sudo aptitude install but if i sudo aptitude upgrade it always complains of /var/lib/dpkg/lock [23:36] koshari: and that just copies utterly everything? [23:36] koshari: EVERYTHING? [23:36] anyone else experiencing a similar problem or know of a solution? [23:36] geirha, and in all honestly, i don't know what the difference between sourcing and executing a script is, but i want to get this work for now rather than waiting for sidefx to release their next version of houdini (which is probably not address this issue anyway) [23:37] clicker4721 partimare will copy the full disk partition byte for byte, however it dont support ext4 if your using that, [23:37] does anyone has any idea the 1st place to start for.. to find out wich games are made for linux ? anyone hepling ? [23:37] !games [23:37] Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [23:37] happypenguin.org [23:37] dreamy_, google [23:37] ok ty [23:37] ganymede: Does it specify bash as shell? If not, it'll use sh, which does not understand «source», posix sh only has «.» [23:38] if you have an intel chip you're in a better position than i am with my G4 [23:38] Where is a good guide to learning Linux? pdf wise [23:38] i cant even get flash or java 1.6 [23:38] Ubuntu in particular [23:38] koshari: no, i dont believe so, but that's easy to check. now, when you say partition, which one? i know that ubuntu default uses 4: /, /usr, /home, swap [23:38] clicker4721 kkep in mind that using a backup partition depending on OS/config may require the backup to be edited to get it to boot on a new dribve, ie, product activation, disk uuids in grub confs ect [23:38] ganymede: If it does specify bash, it should work if you add the dir containing houdini_setup to PATH [23:38] Where may I find a good pdf/html Ubuntu guide? [23:38] h0rnman: i have saved the config. do you want to see my xorg.conf. it looks totally different now [23:39] geirha, when it fails because the script to source isn't in the PATH, it prints out a line that says something like: "sh: 1: source: file not found" which led me to believe it was sh, but yeah, you're right, sh doesn't understand source [23:39] clicker4721 /usr /home are directory NOT partitions [23:39] geirha, however, if i append . to path with the python line: os.environ["PATH"] = os.environ["PATH"] + ":.", then it all of a sudden works, so i wanted to make this change permanent [23:39] clicker4721: koshari is right. i've never seen ubuntu default to more than 1 partition [23:40] (excluding swap of course) [23:40] hello.. what is the command to search for a file in the whole computer? [23:40] locate ? [23:40] kellopes: locate is usually fastest [23:40] kellopes locate? [23:40] locate will search not just the bin i am in.. but everything?? [23:41] kellopes: however you might want to make sure updatedb was run the last time while the file you were looking for is on your computer [23:41] otherwise, find would be your best bet [23:41] kellopes: yes run « sudo updatedb » so its DB is up to date [23:41] anyone good with gnome-do? I want to use it as a really quick way to switch between windows [23:41] what this sudo command does? [23:41] clicker4721 fsarchiver is another cli opton [23:41] geirha, when executing commands from the shell, it doesn't search PATH recursively, right? [23:41] hi, i have just installed ubuntu and it refuses to run at full res on my monitor... my monitor and graphics card are both capable of 1920x1080, yet the maximum the display driver (prop ati and free) will display is 1680x1050, any idea how i fix this? [23:42] ganymede: That's dangerous, I'd rather just add a ./ infront of houdini_setup === Ferris- is now known as Ferris`away [23:42] so I basically want one button I can press where the focus command is selected and the next field picked [23:42] ganymede: Not recursive, that's correct [23:42] geirha, but where would i add that? if i add it in the python source, it will reset when it auto-updates [23:42] i am trying to locate the '/etc/modules' on my computer [23:42] run system testing in admin [23:42] kellopes you can also use the gui based "search" [23:42] ganymede: Btw, the coders of that script has commited «bashism». You can read about that here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DashAsBinSh [23:42] i think that might help withyour resolution issue - i did it and it offered some help [23:43] how do i get the msn chat to work with linux.. for some reason this is preventing me chatting to multiple contacts tint he same window... and im not too computer savy..so coul any help be simple... [23:43] ELoXL: how would i run testing? [23:43] ganymede: Then change it, and submit a patch to the developers, so it will auto-update "right" next time ;) [23:43] kellopes: if it is not there just create it [23:43] nm, found it [23:44] hmm... my problem seems to have resolved itself [23:44] any way to test video and sound in Empathy? [23:44] perhaps there was a temp conflict withupdate-notifier or something... [23:44] under system [23:44] then administration [23:44] then "System Testing" [23:45] geirha, yep, i'll do that since we apparently have premium-level support...until then, gotta add "." to path or "/opt/HFS" (probably the option) [23:46] can anyone help with the msn messenger working with linux...? sorry to interupt you... [23:46] okay, so I added the mozilla repositories and stuff, did a `sudo apt-get install firefox-3.6`, it didn't error out but it didn't look like it did anything . . says it's "already the newest version" when I try installing it again. What's up? firefox-3.6 is certainly not on my machine (Jaunty). Help? [23:46] shughes: do you really need msn? you can login to msn with empathy [23:46] koshari, lektronx: i've screwed aroun with slack a little, so I know the directories can be mounted on seperate partitions to make upgrades easier: the point of ubuntu; and when i installed mine, i saw that swap was on part. #5, and / on #1...i assumed. so, it doesn't need to be bootable, just recoverable, and what did you say the line was that'll do it? [23:46] ok so ubuntu one is not available for 804? this seems very strange. [23:46] sorry whats empathy? [23:47] * clicker4721 away for dinner [23:47] it looks just like an fuse mount. [23:47] !away > clicker4721 [23:47] clicker4721, please see my private message [23:47] queso, i'm not familiar with that repository, but are you starting firefox using the menu item? maybe that menu item is pointing to firefox-3.5 and you have 3.5 and 3.6 installed alongside each other? [23:47] im not very tech savy... whats empathy? === mat__ is now known as mat|2 === Ferris`away is now known as Ferris- [23:48] shughes: im client [23:48] !info empathy | shughes [23:48] shughes: empathy (source: empathy): High-level library and user-interface for Telepathy. In component main, is optional. Version 2.28.1.1-0ubuntu1 (karmic), package size 115 kB, installed size 456 kB [23:48] ganymede: I tried from the commandline with `firefox-3.6`. I followed the instructions here: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-firefox-3-6-in-ubuntu-karmicjauntyintrepidhardy.html [23:48] like a newer version of pidgin from what i can tell [23:48] ran system tests, still giving me same, saying max res is 1680x1050 [23:48] okokok.. you are WAY ahead of what i can understand [23:49] hi [23:49] is it possible to use msn messenger with the linux system?..as i cant connect with a bunch of contacts on the same window [23:49] queso, and you can confirm that when you go to help->about, it reports that it's still firefox 3.5? [23:49] shughes empathy is the new default im program in ubuntu 9.10 and on [23:50] shughes, Not the Microsoft one [23:50] how can i force X to use 1920x1080 if its not detecting it? [23:50] shughes: Instant messaging client, like win live messenger, but it is able to connect to many different networks, including MSN, and IRC. [23:50] shughes: are you saying you're not fond of Pidgin ? [23:50] I installed Jaunty as a dual boot OS on an Acer Aspire Netbook several months ago for a friend. She now wants to return to windows only and remove the Ubuntu partition. Is there a way to reset the windows boot and remove the Ubuntu partitions? [23:50] ganymede: no, firefox-3.6 doesn't even run, says command not fount. [23:50] Bizzeh: you can. [23:50] Wolfwolf: you'll need her to either have a windows or ubuntu CD [23:50] Bizzeh it may be your screens edid info isnt getting to the gpu, you may need to enter it in the xorg file manually, [23:50] Bizzeh: but you have to write your own xorg :f [23:50] DaZ: how? [23:50] i couldnt tell ou what half that is... [23:51] queso: you might have to specify the entire path to firefox 3.6 as it may not be in your path [23:51] Bizzeh to begin with you will need your monitors edid info [23:51] Bizzeh: do you by any chance have nvidia card? [23:51] any idea why my built-in mic is ridiculously muddled? [23:51] queso, the command "dpkg -l | grep firefox" shows that firefox-3.6 is installed? [23:51] ati hd3970 [23:51] ganymede, ardchoille: I did sudo updatedb; locate firefox-3.6. It gives me docs and package info, but nothing in any bins. [23:51] daftykins: the netbook doesn't have a cd rom.. we installed from USB image [23:52] Bizzeh whats your monitor? [23:52] queso: its not called firefox-3.6 I think, its got the funny beta name [23:52] DreamDemon|compi: I know what those are [23:52] namarekuno or whatever [23:52] shughes, The actual Microsoft MSN client is not supported under linux. instead there is a port of the communications protocol built into programs like empathy & pidgin. if you want to use your msn account, you'll need to configure pidgin or empathy to use your msn account [23:52] acer, something... 24" 1080p monitor [23:52] koshari: yeah, I meant my windows partition [23:52] namoroka >: [23:52] daleharvey: oh man, that's convenient [23:52] daleharvey, yeah, that's a good point...i didn't think of that [23:52] DreamDemon|compi: when I follow the wiki guide, it tells me that I can't mount partitions not as root, due to "fuser" or something [23:53] shughes have you tried out amsn or emesene. [23:53] how so i configure pidgin or empathy to msn [23:53] ganymede, ardchoille, daleharvey: thanks for your help, I'll go look for the funny beta name [23:53] shughes: just add accounts [23:53] pick msn [23:53] Wolfwolf: ah, of course, sorry pretty tired here! put ubuntu on a flash drive then to make it a "live key" ? [23:53] PlasmaSheep, Correct, unless you know the uid & suid of the drive itself. Be careful as you could render the drive data useless [23:53] now, anyone know how to start gnome-do with "focus" preselected and the next menu selected? [23:53] ganymede, ardchoille, daleharvey: I don't get it, though, 'cause it's not in beta anymore [23:53] it would make switching windows awesome [23:53] does the amsn and emesen go through the windows live.. will i have to create a new account? [23:54] queso, i have'nt played with that ppa myself, but maybe it created a menu item for firefox 3.6 that's named after the beta name and has a generic globe icon [23:54] what up yall [23:54] queso: find / -type f -name firefox [23:54] queso, since mozilla didn't compile it, and ubuntu ppa daily compiled it, they're not allowed to use firefox official branding [23:54] shughes yep... conference not positive...pretty sure amsn does [23:54] daftykins: Thanks we'll give that a try and see what it does [23:54] Wolfwolf: was it XP? [23:54] i will give it ago..thank you so much for your help..im sure i will be back to ask more!! [23:54] queso, it's some mozilla licensing issue or trademark or some such legal stuff...i don't know the whole story behind it [23:55] shughes later [23:55] daftykins: yeah, she has the Win Xp recovery partition but that didn't seem to rewrite the boot sector [23:55] !hi | AndreMorro[BR] [23:55] Wolfwolf: check here: http://www.arsgeek.com/2008/01/15/how-to-fix-your-windows-mbr-with-an-ubuntu-livecd/ [23:55] AndreMorro[BR]: Hi!

[23:56] Wolfwolf: i am kinda curious as to why she wants rid too. [23:56] DreamDemon|compi: This seems like waay more trouble than it's worth. I can't believe it's so difficult to just automount a partition. Thanks anyway. === Ferris- is now known as Ferris`away [23:56] nite [23:56] Wolfwolf, daftykins, because it's broken on their system? [23:57] PlasmaSheep, Thank Microsoft for not following standards [23:57] daftykins: She's selling it to someone who's Windows only. [23:57] ah [23:57] DreamDemon|compi: Well, we can always do that. [23:57] PlasmaSheep, This is why I've been eliminating m$ systems in my environment. Only thing left is my gaming rig & work laptop [23:57] PlasmaSheep if its a perminant drive you would simply add an entry into the fstab fiile [23:58] koshari, it's a ntfs drive [23:58] has anyone successfully enabled SLI or a second nvidia GPU?

[23:59] oh i got questions, see im new here to xchat and linux (been on ubuntu for 4 maybe 5 months) [23:59] PlasmaSheep: use files >4GB in size much?

[23:59] I get: dpkg-gencontrol: error: must specify package since control info has many () [23:59] however, i think there is valid configuration in my /etc/dhcpd.conf to get it to listen on eth2 [23:59] though the control file clearly only has one entry [23:59] so why is dhcpd failing?
