[00:14] KenBW2, ok, back. thanks for waiting... [00:14] needhelpUbuntu: hi again [00:15] chetos, did you see my PM? [00:15] KenBW2, first error,,, Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode, nvidia failed to load the nvidia kernel mod [00:15] needhelpUbuntu: needhelpUbuntuapt-get install nvidia-settings [00:15] KenBW2, i would like you to check this doc first ok.. this is what i did to fug it up [00:15] i have to get to command prompt [00:15] sb stand by [00:15] needhelpUbuntu: ill make sure not to follow its instructions then :P [00:15] I have a thinkpad with a 60 GB drive, partitioned into 5 GB for /, 10 GB for /home and 30 GB for bulk data. It has intrepid on it and the 5 GB / partition is almost full. I want to a) resize stuff to make / bigger and b) upgrade to a more recent release. [00:16] I have an external drive enclosure with a terabyte drive. What's the best way to back up my system to it? [00:16] hey guys, is there a good video capture program for ubuntu? [00:16] puff: copy your home folder [00:16] said, svidia settins set already newest version [00:16] could someone help me out with the command line ..er.. command to open an archive with the archive utility [00:16] needhelpUbuntu: are you SSH'd in with the -X option? [00:17] KenBW2, not yet. sb [00:17] puff: I use rsnapshot [00:17] tsunami: In gnome, clicking on an archive usually works. [00:17] i'm extracting to a location owned by root [00:18] hrm.. i'll extract then move..? is that the practice were doing in ubuntu? [00:18] tsunami: What extension does the archive have? [00:18] .tar.gz [00:18] Any know where config files for nautilus-share is, so I can backup my config. [00:18] .Im UsinG. .H4cKeRzE. [00:18] tsunami: First check the contents: tar -tzvf foo.tar.gz | less [00:19] tsunami: You want to see what the folder structure inside the archive is. [00:19] it's drupal [00:19] KenBW2, i removed what is here but didnt remove the ln -s http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Setup_Jail [00:19] 1mb spread over a few folers [00:20] how do I scan my local network for machines on it? [00:20] ehh i just did the extract, then move approach [00:20] thanks markstos [00:20] KenBW2, loggin in now, -X option set [00:20] ok im in [00:20] tsunami: OK. The extract command would have been: tar -xzvf drupal.tar.gz [00:20] tsunami: I use Drupal, too. [00:20] needhelpUbuntu: where did you get up to before things screwed up [00:21] i was using joomla [00:21] KenBW2, ok im in, but... i think im in single user mode [00:21] but switched for the "case tracker" plugin [00:21] agian, skel dir on /home/mysuer [00:21] ugh [00:21] needhelpUbuntu: run nvidia-settings [00:21] KenBW2, k, sb [00:22] bentob0x, go to the forum or google and learn to use nmap [00:22] KenBW2, error: control display is undefined [00:22] nmap it is, thx tucemiux === digilord is now known as digilord|taking_ === digilord|taking_ is now known as digilord|walking [00:23] KenBW2, apparently i have lost my /home/myuser/.* settings [00:23] needhelpUbuntu: i cant see anything on the VB page that should rm your ~/ [00:23] markstos: The terabyte drive is ntfs formatted, is that a problem? [00:23] !awai > digilord|walking [00:23] !away > digilord|walking [00:23] digilord|walking, please see my private message [00:23] KenBW2, i know,, huh, i dont get it [00:23] guys, I just have to say Ubuntu really rocks. this thing just runs on just about anything [00:24] puff: Is what you are backing up Ubuntu Linux? [00:24] puff: linux can write to ntfs with ntfs-3g, but there is a small speed/cpu overhead [00:24] KenBW2, i did the reverse of those settings, so for i in /var.... i did sudo umount $i [00:25] how do i unchoot the /var/64,, i did an umount of that drive, then deleted it. [00:25] needhelpUbuntu: im afraid i get the feeling you know more than i do [00:25] KenBW2, possibly lol [00:25] I have a question about PARANOID option in tcpd. I don't understand how it can detect spoof atack. If I send a packet with a source spoof ip when the linux server recive the packet it'll try to resolv that ip and is a ip valid it will get a name for that ip. How does it consider Its a spoof ip? [00:25] KenBW2, but we all have our specialities === andy is now known as Guest54427 [00:26] markstos: Yes. [00:26] needhelpUbuntu: reading the paragraph at the top of that page it sounds like you have a rare setup [00:27] KenBW2, i try to be cutting edge lol [00:27] puff: I would recommend repartitioning the drive: Put some in the same format of your Ubuntu partition you are backing up, and leave some in NTFS or FAT32 (so you can easily share files with friends) [00:27] puff: It's safest to use exactly the same file system on the source and backup partitions. [00:28] markstos: Unfortunately, there's stuff on the drive. [00:28] KenBW2, i tried the nvidia gui thingy, says, count not generate a new confg [00:28] needhelpUbuntu: permissions? [00:28] markstos: Okay, thanks... I have another terabyte drive in another machine, mabe I can shuffle stuff around. [00:28] will ubuntu be fine on a 25gb partition on a 80gb hdd with XP on the other partition (xp has heaps of viruses) [00:28] puff: You can likely resize the NTFS partition. I have done it before to create dual boot systems. [00:28] sagaci: a base install uses like 6g I think [00:28] needhelpUbuntu: is it possible you chrooted your ~/ [00:28] possibly [00:28] sb [00:29] danbhfive: and just quickly how do I check how good a graphics card is supported, it's a nvidia one [00:29] Hm, I have some other portables around, I will see if I can find one with not-ntfs on it. [00:29] KenBW2, possibly [00:29] i followed those instructions [00:29] on link [00:29] puff: They usually come formatted with NTFS or FAT32. [00:29] sagaci: I usually use yahoo, but also, nvidias usually work well [00:29] KenBW2, they failed to say how to remove it though in howto... bastard [00:29] bastards [00:30] needhelpUbuntu: ls -la your home folder [00:30] markstos: Yeah, but likely at least one of the others I reformatted. [00:30] KenBW2, yep [00:30] its there [00:30] KenBW2, its all owned by me [00:31] needhelpUbuntu: so why wouldnt nvidia-settings be able to make a profile folder [00:31] needhelpUbuntu: try (gk)sudo nvidia-settings [00:32] im still chrooted i think [00:32] KenBW2, tried that 5 mins ago [00:32] nogo [00:32] needhelpUbuntu: im afraid im out of ideas/knowledge [00:33] KenBW2, im gonna try to put things back, ssh the home/mysuer and reinstall lol [00:33] ill let you know what happens [00:33] i still think im in single user mode [00:33] /boot/grub/menu.1st isnt there [00:33] hi guys, i nedd help to mount an hdd. Can anyone help me please? [00:34] needhelpUbuntu: i think that was changed in karmic iirc [00:34] kappa: Ask your question [00:34] needhelpUbuntu, menu.1st is no more in grub2 [00:34] KenBW2, ill be amazed if it works, but i think all my data is gone.... sighs... [00:34] if I get a digital HD PVR card will I be able to recieve all the channels that i get thru my cableprovider? [00:34] im on amd64 [00:34] 9.10 [00:34] hello, how can I install c/c++ development plugins in ubuntu installation of eclipse galileo? [00:34] tucemiux, where is it [00:34] :) [00:34] hi all , is there a way to adjust the frequency output of the soundcard ? the output is too bassy. thanks mark [00:35] i have installed ubuntu on my pc. I have 2 hdd in it. One is dedicated for the operative system and the other is for data. In partitioned in ntfs but i can't see it. How can i mount it to save the data and then change th filesystem into ext3-4? [00:35] needhelpUbuntu: i started doing backups recently, one day ill be pleased i did [00:36] is there a tool to defragment an xp partition from ubuntu [00:36] kappa: [00:36] kappa: sudo fdisk -l [00:36] it kinda makes sense, still chroot'd, as when i tried to copy my dir while using liveusb, i mounted that drive, and it said i couldnt smb it over, which means, its perms or chroot,, i believe, thus, using that friggen debootstrap command initially dia a whole fs on /var/64 [00:36] when i deleted it,, i removed my ability to work with my home dir... dunno, just a thought [00:37] << not a master of chroot yet [00:37] needhelpUbuntu: whats debootstrap? [00:37] !paste | kappa [00:37] kappa: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

[00:40] sagaci: I guess, why do you want to defrag? [00:40] You no longer need anything that is not open source [00:40] danbhfive: i thought it would be safer before installing ubuntu on the same disk [00:41] sagaci, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m1575a816 then? [00:41] KenBW2, i guess its related to brastrap [00:41] kappa in gnome mounted & unmounted partitions show under the places desktop menu or the upper left pane of nautilus (home on the places menu) [00:41] and jockstrap [00:41] sagaci: within the same partition? or on a separate partition? [00:41] debootstrap is still running,,, its a serious cmd [00:41] needhelpUbuntu: perhaps - didnt know debian swung that way :D [00:41] iflema, i can't see the partiotin [00:41] Markive: Hm, there should be. I'm trying to remember where it is. [00:42] KenBW2, i think debian is very PC [00:42] danbhfive: same partition on an 80gb hdd, about 20gb for ubuntu rest (60gb left for xp) [00:42] like the rest of the world [00:42] kappa: so the partition doesn't show up in nautilus [00:42] puff thanks, i'll standby [00:43] sagaci, no. Only in fdisk but not home or desktop [00:43] sagaci: so wait, on separate partitions? or the same partition? I don't know about using wubi, but separate partitions should be fine [00:43] hey guys, is there a good video capture program for ubuntu? [00:44] @g0tcha: Try cheese or VLC :) [00:44] @g0tcha: There's also xawtv. [00:44] danbhfive: xp is just here atm on a 80gb partition. i want to use the partition thing in ubiquity to install them side by side [00:44] g0tcha: krut is pretty good depending on what you are looking for. [00:45] @g0tcha: It depends on what you want to do. Do you want to capture from a video camera, or a webcam, or a tv tuner? [00:46] i have a composite video card on this computer i have ubuntu installed and i want to plug my tv reciever to capture few game videos [00:46] kappa: go sudo mkdir /media/windows [00:46] sagaci: that should be fine, no matter the virii of windows [00:46] has anyone played with the banshee that was released today? [00:46] danbhfive: i need to keep the existing windows there for photos and music etc [00:47] @g0tcha: Composite being DVI/VGA out and S/Video in? [00:47] kappa: done? [00:47] vector1, yes, DVI output from pc to monitor and Composite in to pc [00:48] sagaci, an errore became. Impossible to create the direcotry "/media windows": The file exist [00:48] did you type exactly sudo mkdir /media/windows [00:48] @g0tcha: regardless, (to my knowledge) VLC or xawtv should be able to do that. I'm not an expert but if you're lucky you might have the device /dev/video or /dev/video0 or something similar to access your composite capture. [00:49] hmmm [00:49] you think its easier to do it in a Windows OS, vector1? [00:49] @g0tcha: bang this into a terminal [00:49] ls /dev/ | grep video [00:50] Hi People, I am moving to Ubuntu from Mandriva: Does Ubuntu use the term 'Mozilla-Thunderbird' or simply 'Thunderbird' ?? [00:50] Depends. If the video device is there, it might be as simple as opening VLC, selecting 'capture device,' and picking /dev/video0. Then you can save it to a file, stream it, ... [00:50] @drew31 afaik the default e-mail client is evolution [00:51] interesting....... [00:51] drew31, for installation i believe mozilla thunderbird but let me check [00:51] vector1, it returend "video0 [00:51] i did what i said i would,,, i got to desktop but... all my data is gone...... [00:51] "video0" i mean [00:51] i need to learn forensics so i can recover data better.... [00:51] drew31, it is inded mozilla-thunderbcird [00:51] drew31, sorry mozilla-thunderbird [00:52] hey, if i've got two separate computers next to each other, can i just use an ethernet cable into their sockets to network them together or do i need a hub or router [00:52] drew31, although there is also just "thunderbird:" in the repositories [00:52] sagaci: You Probally need a crossover cable [00:52] Yo yo yo [00:52] drew31, ok just thunderbird for the actual pacakge and mozilla-thunderbird for the transitianl package [00:52] vector1, coz_, thanks, I put the two together and didn't know which was old and which was new and belonged to ubuntu. [00:53] hello actionparsnip :) [00:53] whats the hotkey to access the gui menus without a mouse.... [00:54] Needhelpubuntu: alt+f2 [00:54] @g0tcha If you grab vlc from the software center, open it, Media menu -> Open Capture Device [00:54] no [00:54] the menus on the desktop [00:54] sagaci: Yeah, you'll need a special Ethernet cable called a crossover cable [00:54] Need or alt+f1 to bring up the gnome menu [00:54] needhelpUbuntu Alt+F1 [00:54] thank you [00:55] Callum_: are they rare [00:55] sagaci: Not at all [00:55] Callum_: how much roughly [00:55] @g0tcha you'll use /dev/video0 as your video device name, and see if that gets you anywhere [00:55] sagaci: They're not very expensive, probably about the same as regular Ethernet cables [00:55] Needhelpubuntu: you can type a bit of the app name in the alt+f2 dialogue instead of navigating the menu [00:55] vector1, cool let me try that out [00:56] sagaci, some NICs have cross-over capability.... but not very common... a cheap $5 hub from kijiji would do you fine === andy is now known as Guest71048 [00:56] @g0tcha No worries. If that works, then go media menu -> streaming, pick the capture device tab from the top and type /dev/video0 as the device. Click stream, then you can tick the 'stream to file' box, which is basically saving video live (which I'm guessing is what you're after). [00:56] actionparsnip, i know, but i dont know all the menu commands that well. id rather arrowdown [00:56] .bin2 [00:56] sagaci, and almost any computer shop would make you a cable for about the same price as it is to buy new [00:57] Needhelpubuntu: well now you know 2 ways ;) [00:57] While I'm here, I was wondering if anyone could help me with compiling ffmpeg :) [00:57] Out_Cold: no, my local computer shop seems dodgy and overpriced [00:57] what i want to know is where is all my data that was under the /home/myuser dir!! [00:57] vector1, yes, thats what im exactly what i want [00:57] sagaci, you can always make your own but that's a bit of a hassle [00:57] actionparsnip, thanks. alt f1 is what i didnt know [00:58] Out_Cold: yeah not too good with my hands [00:58] Needhelpubuntu: what do you mean about your data? [00:58] Hello, for some reason my headphone audio is only sounding on the left side. Could someone help me with this issue? [00:58] since i was running a chroot'd env under /var/64 and followed these instructions,, i somehow destroyed my user dir [00:58] http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Setup_Jail [00:58] i removed things not properly [00:59] Needhelpubuntu: restore from your backups then [00:59] actionparsnip, you know, /home/youruser/stuff [00:59] actionparsnip, what are you saying? [00:59] i wouldnt be here if i had a backup lol [00:59] @viper474 if you're certain that your headphones work properly and it is not a problem with the connection, you can use alsamixer to see if your left/right volume is correct [00:59] i am building a new box, didnt get to backups yet [01:00] Needhelpubuntu: if you data is important to you then you will have a backup. No backup == data is disposable [01:00] i dont see how my data just vanished [01:00] hey, how do I set up remote desktop on Ubuntu? [01:00] actionparsnip, i learned that lesson with over 5000 ebooks that magically disappeared [01:00] look at that link and show me where i would have lost it from while removing this and that... [01:00] actionparsnip, enough, i dont need that right now,,, just stay outta of it, [01:01] Needhelpubuntu: you can use foremost to extract data from unused sectors but don't expect miracles [01:01] Would anybody be able to help me with compiling ffmpeg? I'm having a small issue with libx264 and I'm not quite sure how to track it down [01:01] Out_cold: people need to learn to backup as systems become more entwined in their lives [01:01] actionparsnip, i was looking into foremost, havent used it before, but it was on some docs i read this morning [01:01] vector1, what's the error exactly? [01:01] sagaci, are you still here? [01:02] hey, how do I set up remote desktop on Ubuntu? i kind of need the access, and I need Remote Desktop access capable of working with Windows [01:02] Needhelpubuntu: look for: ubuntu data recovery [01:02] actionparsnip, yea... i now keep a huge backup on my server and occasionally do dvd bkups [01:02] actionparsnip, explain how "unused" sectors applies [01:02] @vector1: Oh, I hope they are working properly, I will have to find others to know for sure...I just now looked at the wire leading into the earpiece. There could be a small problem there. I guess I was looking too hard into it since, I kept looking over the settings in pulse audio and wondering what was going on. I could boot into Vista and I'd know for sure. [01:02] @out_cold When compiling, I hit a brick wall with the following: [01:02] home/vector/Source/ffmpeg/libavcodec/libavcodec.so: undefined reference to `x264_encoder_open_83' [01:02] kappa: did you exactly type sudo mkdir /media/windows [01:02] anybody know of some good command line audio inspection tools? [01:02] i am new to ubuntu need help with soundcard [01:02] Needhelpubuntu; if the OS can't see the files then the data bits are not marked as 'used' [01:02] vector1, did you apt-get build-dep ffmpeg?? [01:02] yes i did sagaci, it works and i fix it [01:03] i have hp hdx9000 laptop [01:03] sagaci, i hav another question [01:03] hey, how do I set up remote desktop on Ubuntu? i kind of need the access, and I need Remote Desktop access capable of working with Windows [01:03] @out_cold I've googled for x264_encoder_open_83 and nothing comes up. I've `grep x264_encoder_open_83 ./*` and only the libavcodec.so matches [01:03] weird.. cant find vlc in the software center [01:03] @out_cold I grabbed the latest git clone yesterday [01:03] Needhelpubuntu: bits cannot be empty, they will always be a 1 or 0 so you may be able to recover some of the data which you haven't overwritten [01:03] vector1, no idea then mate.. sorry [01:03] @out_cold of x264 and ffmpeg separately [01:03] anyone here know about Remote Desktop and Ubuntu? [01:03] !vnc | Trek [01:03] Trek: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [01:03] @out_cold thanks anyway :) [01:03] anyone care to help me with sound [01:04] thanks === DaZ_ is now known as DaZ [01:04] Needhelpubuntu: imagine if your drives motor failed overnight. Where is your data? [01:04] thanks guys, I'll check my stuff... [01:05] Needhelpubuntu: as I said earlier. No backup == you don't care if you lose it. [01:05] sagaci, i have another question for you.

I'm not very familiar with ppa. I had issues with using the ffmpeg packages on apt-get (installing -dev and some other stuff ended up conflicting, so I wanted to compile) [01:07] Vector1: websearch for: ppa search [01:07] Is there a test package I can get to see exactly what my proccy is doing? [01:08] @actionparsnip thanks, will do [01:08] Vector1: you will find the launchpad seach page and you can try finding a maintainer whom has already compiled [01:08] Daugha|n: you mean to see how much activity your processor has? it's load...

[01:20] I've obviously gone through google and tried some of the various suggested settings for pulseaudio, none of which seem to work [01:21] Naderman: tried pulling the volume levels down to about 80% [01:21] actionparsnip: yes, but I'll do it again [01:21] Naderman: killall pulseaudio; rm -rf $HOME/.pulse* [01:22] random832: when i check it tells me they are set as absolute not right of and left of....i saved it as r of and l of [01:22] Naderman: then press alt+f2 and type: pulseaudio [01:22] Naderman: good place to start with sound issues [01:23] actionparsnip: still just crackling [01:23] .

[01:27] I'm a noob to ubuntu, and my problem is that everytime I go afk, the screen loses color intensity or something, and text becomes pretty much impossible to read, and things look really bright. adjusting monitor brightness doesn't help [01:27] ThatGuyOverThere: Which card model is it? [01:27] Thatguyoverthere: what is the output of: lspci | grep -I vga [01:27] Oops. grep -I vga [01:28] Sorry [01:28] Isn't that the same thing you just typed...? [01:28] ThatGuyOverThere: lspci|grep VGA [01:28] Okay.

[01:34] Hi razertek [01:34] actionparsnip: That is why I think the ati factoid ubottu has is horrible, because it makes no mention of the open radeon driver === c is now known as charitwo [01:34] Soreau: I use only nvidia or really old intel I know are going to give me zero issues [01:35] actionparsnip_ : I've got 4 drives on the first (intel) controller. /boot is sda1, swap is sda2, and / is sda3 on the first drive. the rest of the first and the other 3 drives on the intel controller are raid0 to md0. a 1tb drive is on the second (marvell tech) controller. [01:35] What was the command again? [01:35] actionparsnip: My point is the ati factoid ubottu knows is horrible. It should be updated to mention the open driver at least. Im not saying any card is better than others [01:35] actionparsnip_ : if I try to boot with the 1tb drive plugged in, it never makes it past grub [01:36] ThatGuyOverThere: lspci|grep VGA [01:36] could anybody help connect my bluetooth headset to my pc with vbox?

[01:38] Matt_keys: check your grub and fstab settings [01:39] Everytime I hit the launcher, it says "starting terminal" in the taskbar, but then it never starts. [01:39] is there a way to tell grub to ignore a controller?

[01:43] actionparsnip_: Still nothing. [01:43] I installed Ubuntu 9.10 and keyboard / mouse are not working on the login screen .... even I can't see the login screen as well === dmesg is now known as ecanto [01:44] Thatguyoverthere: strange. Try installing guake and use that instead [01:44] if I add a startup script from an application... say /etc/init.d/mywebapp... do i need to run 'update-rc.d mywebapp defaults' for it to work on startup and shutdown? [01:44] actionparsnip RT2500 [01:44] mudassarm30: maybe that's 'cause Ubuntu 9.10 all the way back to 8.10 have been garbage? [01:45] burn [01:45] Jimisvrox1: ok that's the chip which is what you need to know. Now find guides on how to set it up [01:45] or should I manually symlink the script to a runlevel? [01:45] how do I get my "sound preferences" back? [01:46] Alright, terminal finally working. That command again? [01:46] I'm trying to get openssh-server to run on my desktop (xubuntu 9.10), and I get this message, which I don't understand: "sshd re-exec requires execution with an absolute path."

I'm building Ac!D Linux to fix what bugs Hardy has and are left by the Ubuntu devs. It bugs me how they leave stuff broken all the *** time. [01:47] actionparsnip_: My terminal is finally working. What was the command? [01:47] ThatGuyOverThere: lspci|grep VGA [01:47] btw, anyone here have an android phone? [01:47] Thanks soreau [01:47] because I saw someone was working on getting android apps to run natively on ubuntu [01:48] Ubuntununuub: using it now [01:48] looked fairly amazing [01:48] <3 droid [01:48] soreau: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07) [01:49] ThatGuyOverThere: Which version of ubuntu? [01:49] Karmic [01:49] blakkheim: Ah, okay, that makes sense. Now I get this error though: could not load host key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key [01:49] I just hope that someone manages to hack the ipad to run android. ipad hardware + android 2.1 would be so sick [01:49] Can I get Ubuntu on my iPhone? :-p [01:49] almostsix: sounds like you need to find a tutorial on how to setup an ssh server :/ [01:49] almostsix: did you try this link http://ipucu.enderunix.org/view.php?id=1879&lang=en [01:49] I dont know exactly which card that is but I wouldnt expect too much out of it [01:49] actionparsnip its been a while since I set up a wireless card. Forgot all kinds of commands but I remmeber there being like 2 or so versions of the RT2500 [01:50] please solve my keyboard/mouse problem with Ubuntu 9.10, otherwise tell me some better distro, I have installed it 10 times but no use [01:50] !ssh > almostsix [01:50] almostsix, please see my private message [01:50] soreau: Karmic. [01:50] can anyone point me in the direction of a Winamp-like media player? i'm less concerned with things liek skins and a lot MORE concerned with things like display information (i like being able to see the bitrate and things like that). mostly what i want to make sure of is a good, functional playlist display [01:50] Jimisvrox1: copy the product line and use it in websearches. You will hit gold [01:50] charles__: mpd + ncmpcpp [01:50] almostsix: but actually just running 'aptitude install openssh-server' should set you up [01:51] !winamp | charles__ [01:51] charles__: winamp is a windows music player. On Ubuntu you can use audacious as alternative. [01:51] I'm trying to build a livecd using remastersys from my parallels install. Problem is my video resolution on the livecd is terrible. It doesn't autoadapt to the video card like the regular install cd, anyone know why or can point me in the right direction? [01:51] actionparsnip_: what really sucks is Ive taken a linux course at school but I figure it takes a few years of using the cli to really memorize it pretty good.. [01:51] no you know what would be fucking sick [01:51] charles__: Never used Winamp, but Songbird is excellent and it probably has an extension for what you want. [01:51] i know winamp is for windows... hence "winamp-like" [01:51] if the ipad had swype keypoard [01:51] Charles__: banshee and amarok are pretty sweet too [01:52] charles__: Definitely the best media player I've ever used for Linux. I've tried Banshee and Amarok and quite frankly thought they were weak. [01:52] hp hdx9000 anyone knows how to solve sound problem? [01:52] i need to write these down and sort through them to see which one works for me.. thanks fo r the suggestions guys :) [01:52] anyone know the solution for mouse/keyboard problem in Ubuntu 9.10 ??? [01:52] Jimisvrox1: best way to learn cli is to use it [01:52] no sound and driver is ok [01:52] soreau: Still there? [01:52] ThatGuyOverThere: I wouldnt really know what to expect performance wise from that chipset, but typically, I dont expect much performance from laptops in general [01:53] Well, I know it's going to kinda suck, being an integrated card. [01:53] But what makes me suspicious is that I get significantly worse performance with it using Ubuntu than with Windows. [01:53] Which leads me to think it's a driver issue or something. [01:53] Oh, duh. Solution to sshd problem: sudo. Thanks for the pointers though [01:54] ThatGuyOverThere: The only thing you can do is try the next version of ubuntu to see if things have improved, or ask in #intel-gfx. Also, make sure you arent running intense compiz effects like transparent cube, for example [01:54] ThatGuyOverThere: throw the output into websearch engines. You will find guides [01:54] hi everyone! [01:55] soreau: If I remember correctly, I had trouble playing HD video even with Compiz disabled... which I know my card is capable of because I can do it in Windows. [01:55] I'm new, I'm looking for a place to get some tip on Ubuntu.... Got the basic running but now for the more challenging I need a bit help [01:55] is this the most active channel on freenode? [01:55] I'm trying to build a livecd using remastersys from my parallels install.  Problem is my video resolution on the livecd is terrible.  It doesn't autoadapt to the video card like the regular install cd, anyone know why or can point me in the right direction? [01:56] right now? yes this is the most active channel, PeterT [01:56] Diastro: this is a support channel, just ask you questions if anyone knows they'll respond. [01:57] Snookie: you will need to install / configure the driver in the livecd [01:57] Is there any way in ubuntu to get metadata from ASF files? [01:57] actionparsnip_: you know how? Which driver? What does the Livecd do to autedetect and does it have a copy of all the drivers? [01:57] ThatGuyOverThere: you need better settings for your display. What windows does or doesn't do is moot [01:58] Sn00kie: run: sudo lshw -C display [01:58] actionparsnip: I'm just saying that's what leads me to believe it's not just that the graphics card sucks (which it does, but I'm still thinking I should be able to get some better performance). [01:58] Sn00kie: use the output to find guides [01:58] actionparsnip_: from the livecd? [01:58] Is it possible to make the characters a with macron and o with macron using the compose key? [01:58] Sn00kie: sure [01:58] actionparsnip_: How do you mean with the display settings? [01:59] any one? [01:59] I can do ē, ī and ū, but not a and o; it makes ª and º or ã and õ when I try. [01:59] hello === jon is now known as Guest7313 [01:59] ThatGuyOverThere: paste the line outputted into seach engines and you will find guodes and / or bug reports [02:00] how should i go about making harddisk images for multiple identical laptop's ? i need them all to be the same (School laptops) [02:00] Dreamglider: remastersys [02:00] actionparsnip_: Alright, I take back what I said. Videos played more smoothly using Metacity instead of Compiz. [02:00] Dreamglider: partimage is one option [02:01] dreamglider: by far the easiest solution [02:01] hey there [02:01] actionparsnip_: Any way I can boost Compiz's resource efficiency...? I really can't stand Metacity. [02:01] okay, audacious it is... thanks again, folks :) [02:01] is remastersys free ? [02:01] is remastersys opensource ? * [02:01] ThatGuyOverThere: One thing you can do is increase the shared video ram [02:01] dreamglider: yes, one sec, I have a good reference for you [02:01] soreau: Like how? [02:01] I can't get my sound to work correctly. I can hear the output faintly but it is overcome by extemely loud varying static noise. I just did a fresh install of 9.10 x64 and updated everything but my problem persisted. I have Intel HD Audio ALC889A. Works fine on Windows, and surprisingly on Haiku, despite the fact that its HD Audio drivers are extremely immature. I messed around with my previous ubuntu install a bit and removed pulse [02:01] audio but I don't think that that was the problem. Any ideas? [02:02] ThatGuyOverThere: cut down the plugins drastically. I personally think com.piz is garbage. You can also ask in #compiz [02:02] ThatGuyOverThere: Like very carefully :) [02:02] Dreamglider, whats the difference [02:02] dreamglider: http://www.techradar.com/news/software/operating-systems/10-scripts-to-create-your-own-linux-distribution-665247 [02:02] dreamglider: that was on dig the other day, pretty good rundown [02:02] soreau: Very funny. How do I do that? [02:02] soreau: Is this a hardware issue? [02:02] dreamglider: *digg [02:02] ThatGuyOverThere: i'd see if there are any guides for your chip to make it run better [02:02] actionparsnip_: Please do not say compiz is garbage. That is not true and also wreckless [02:02] sn00kie: thanks i'll read up on that. [02:02] anyone can help me install my tv tuner? [02:02] dreamglider: no prob [02:03] Sn00kie: partimage will enable a ghost-like install method which is way easier than running an installer on each system [02:03] ThatGuyOverThere: Intel gpus share your system ram, so you can tell it how much to allocate to the card [02:03] Soreau: I'm expressing an opinion which is fine and dandy [02:03] ThatGuyOverThere: Your x log should tell you how much it is using by default [02:03] good evening everyone [02:04] soreau: 'Splain. I don't know enough to be able to do that. Can you give me a step by step? [02:04] actionparsnip_: Im just asking for you not to say compiz is garbage. That offends me [02:04] soreau: Or give me a link to a guide? I'm not a novice with Linux but I'm also not super savvy. [02:04] actionparsnip_: good point [02:04] Soreau: didn't mean to offend you dude [02:04] i need to find a extremely trustworthy, capable, and credible person who works at canonical. [02:05] !ot | Wooshu [02:05] Wooshu: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [02:05] ThatGuyOverThere: Actually, you would have to look up the right option to set in xorg.conf. Perhaps man intel will tell you [02:05] hi, I'm running kubuntu but noone in their channel seems to no about sound. I updated today and rebooted to install the latest kernel and no I have no more sound. What can I try to fix this? [02:05] *know [02:06] soreau: man intel? Is that a terminal command? [02:06] ThatGuyOverThere: Yes [02:06] actionparsnip_, are you a ubuntu endorsed staff ? [02:06] Soreau: funny how some systems still need xorg.conf yet ubuntu doesn't give a skeleton file to flesh out [02:06] ThatGuyOverThere: I believe it should open the intel driver manual and show you xorg.conf options available for it [02:06] I need help to fix my wifi problem. I have a Atheros AR5001 that is not being recognized by ubuntu.. [02:06] Wooshu: I'm not even an op. Do you have an ubuntu support uestion? [02:06] actionparsnip_: *shrug* [02:06] soreau: Thanks. [02:06] I'm running Lucid Lynx and having trouble with my mouse being inverted. Can anyone give me a hand? [02:07] !lucid > jason_ [02:07] jason_, please see my private message [02:07] ThatGuyOverThere: You can create a default xorg.conf file with Xorg -configure [02:07] kellopes: atheros chipsets work flawlessly in linux for me [02:07] jason_, - is that on a fresh install [02:07] kellopes: which module are you using for it? [02:07] Kellopes: same chip works out of the box here [02:08] jason_, - or was you messing around and got that? [02:08] Kellopes: its the reason I buy them [02:08] blakkheim, actionparsnip_ guys.. it just doenst work for me.. [02:08] kellopes: What do you mean not recognized? [02:08] Kellopes: are you fully updated? [02:09] kellopes: you didn't answer my question, how do you expect to get any help? [02:09] soreau: i had windows move to linux and now i cant use my wifi [02:09] sorea: Says in the manual it'll allocate 24MB by default if the system RAM is more than 192 MB. [02:09] soreau: It seems to me that would definitely affect graphics performance. :) [02:09] blakkheim: i will [02:09] jason if you want help you have to answer [02:09] kellopes: You need to elaborate. What is the output of: lsmod|grep ath [02:09] actionparsnip_: looks like lshw -C display only gives me info about my current hardware. I'm really looking to make my personal live cd adapt to the graphics card of the host system, similar to the ubuntu live disk [02:10] ThatGuyOverThere: I think there's an option to make it 'greedy' may help [02:10] where could I get help for sound issues? [02:10] blakkheim: i am new at linux how do i see the module? [02:10] kaddi, - whats wrong [02:10] Sn00kie: well now you know the display chip, you can websearch to find guides [02:10] ThatGuyOverThere: Hey, now you might be getting somewhere. Check /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see how much it is actually allocating [02:10] what is the repo url for Karmic to get vlc? This is what I have ---> http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ - Karmic - multiverse it's saying 404 not found [02:11] Hi, I want to install linux, mac os x and windows on one machine, I want to have one partition with my media files, which can be accessed by all operating systems, what file system should I use? NTFS? Fat? [02:11] kellopes: lsmod [02:11] Xgates: there's one by korn. Search for: vlc ppa [02:11] kellopes: This will tell you which module if any is loaded-> lsmod|grep ath [02:11] hunt: ntfs if you have any one file bigger than 4gb [02:11] actionparsnip_: Sorry, I think I'm not being clear. The machine will change from system to system. I would like the live cd to at least give me a decent resolution because my current solution with remastersys assumes the display of the machine I made the cd on [02:11] Hunt: i'd use ntfs [02:11] actionparsnip_: I want the one from Karmic ---> http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=vlc&searchon=names&suite=karmic§ion=all [02:12] soreau: your command doesnt give a output in my computer === ecanto is now known as ecanto__ [02:12] Xgates: are you running karmic? [02:12] triple partion your asking for it [02:12] kellopes: Ok, pastebin the output of lspci|grep -i ath [02:12] soreau: Assuming I can figure out how to allocate more memory, what would be a high enough amount without affecting my CPU speed? [02:12] Thanks [02:12] soreau: thats the wrong command === miguel is now known as Guest51732 [02:12] actionparsnip_: actually I'm on Mint and want to put in the karmic universe repo, do you know the URL to use? [02:13] soreau: I mean without DRASTICALLY affecting my CPU speed, obviously. [02:13] ThatGuyOverThere: You would have to experiment, I have no idea. Probably depends on your available system ram [02:13] actionparsnip_: In other words, I'm taking this live cd on a new system, and the livecd only has the driver of the system I crafted the disk on. I want it to act like the ubuntu live cd where it doesn't care what driver is installed for xorg, and figures it out on the fly. [02:13] !mint | xgates [02:13] xgates: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), crunchbang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #remote-exploit) [02:13] blakkheim: He already said lsmod|grep ath showed no output, so I want to make sure at least lspci shows the card before instructing him to load the module [02:13] actionparsnip_: simple question do you KNOW the Karmic Universe Repo URL? yes or no? [02:13] Sn00kie: then install the driver but don't configure xorg.conf and it should be fine [02:14] Xgates: no [02:14] soreau: makes sense, ignore what i said then [02:14] soreau: I've got 4 GB RAM. [02:14] ok that's all I wanted to know... ;p [02:14] memoria not 1g [02:14] soreau: But I will experiment. [02:14] kellopes: Please show the output of lspci|grep -i ath [02:14] Xgates: I wouldn't mix mint with karmic, you'll get a mess [02:14] actionparsnip_: you mean just remove my xorg.conf ? [02:14] apenas 27 reais [02:14] Xgates: your distribution isn't supported here [02:14] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m614578d8 [02:14] soreau, blakkheim: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m614578d8 [02:15] just did an update and now my laptop wont connect to my wireless network [02:15] actionparsnip_: sorry you don't know what you're talking about Mint Helena Uses Karmic all Mint versions USE the Ubuntu repos :) [02:15] any ideas on how i can fix that === marilynn is now known as sexcells [02:15] does anyone know how to get mp4 clips to play on ubuntu [02:15] kellopes: Ok, now do sudo modprobe ath5k [02:15] anyhow, I'm not a noob just wanted to ask a simple question without a lecture on Linux :) [02:15] Sn00kie: just rename it, karmic and later do not need it unless you need special settings [02:15] ubuntu sucks lmao [02:15] Hi guys, I need some help here... I need to have abrowser and firefox at the same time, but they can't be installed together. What can be done with it? [02:16] Xgates: your distro still isn't supported here. Mint has its own channel [02:16] actionparsnip_: I'm terribly sorry, I'm not following [02:16] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m300eed6f [02:16] soreau: I'm looking at Xorg.0.log here. Where might it tell me how much memory it's allocating? [02:16] sn00kie: what are you trying to do? [02:16] actionparsnip_: I'm not asking for support I'm asking for the Karmic Universe repo URL [02:16] ThatGuyOverThere: If you want to pastebin it I could look I guess.. it can be somewhat cryptic [02:16] soreau: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m300eed6f [02:17] kellopes: paste the output of ifconfig -a [02:17] soreau: while we were talking my wireless conection showed here.. [02:17] kellopes: Ah, where did you get the output from which command? [02:17] can someone be kind enough to look at their repo URLS and give me the Karmic Universe repo url? [02:17] Xgates: this channel is support ONLY. Ask in #ubuntu-offtopic [02:17] I have always been a big fan of ubuntu but I am about to jump ship ... does xorg on ubuntu just ignore changes made to the xorg.conf file? ubuntu refused to recognize my monitor and then when I go and add in the modes manually it never gives those to me as an option to switch to, only 800x600 and 640x480, this is getting a little annoying, and apparently xorg will run without an xorg.conf in /etc/X11?? wtf [02:17] soreau: i appreciate your help.. but i need to go now.. [02:17] or am I just missing something [02:17] soreau: Y'know what, I'll see what Google can turn up first and then get back to you if I need help. Thanks. [02:17] can i talk to you tomorrow? [02:17] coldog: I have a ubuntu installation on my disk that I'm trying to use remastersys with. I got through everything fine. The only problem is, when I boot the image on another machine, the X server is all messed up. My question is, what can I do to make my 'custom live cd' act like the 'ubuntu live cd' and adapt to any video card in the system (even loading compiz if supported) [02:17] soreau: can i talk to you tomorrow? [02:17] kellopes: Maybe, just ping me [02:18] I have to do some legacy testing on an edgy box and need a package, but can't find any edgy archives. Anyone know of a working edgy mirror? [02:18] soreau: how do i ping you [02:18] coldog: right now it's assuming the video card in the system I created the disk on [02:18] Sn00kie: hopefully udev and hal will detect the hardware and use the right driver [02:18] ekristen: you mean it doesnt have the res you want? [02:18] Guys, please help me with that firefox issue! :) [02:18] coldcog: yes [02:18] !please | Khodok [02:18] Khodok: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude [02:18] just did an update to version 9.10, now cant connect to my wireless network, how can i fix it [02:18] ekristen: have you edited an xorg before? or used HAL? [02:19] does anyone know why a dvd burner would only burn at 0.2x [02:19] coldog: it isn't the resolution is stuck at some small resolution and there is no xorg.conf in /etc/X11 [02:19] Khodok, uppdate firefox problem solved :-) [02:19] how to if my ubuntu is 32 or 64 bit? [02:19] I have a lot of experience editing xorg.conf on redhat, centos, freebsd systems [02:19] xorg is usually xorg ;) [02:19] CVD-PR, uname -a [02:19] Ekristen: you will need to run: lspci | grep VGA [02:19] coldog: I should mention the machine this is being made on is a parallels machine [02:19] kellopes: Just type my nick like you are doing now [02:19] CVD-PR: uname -m [02:19] sn00kie: so you dont have an xorg.conf? [02:19] oh well [02:19] coldog: no not after booting into my custom live cd [02:20] actionparsnip_: yup, got it [02:20] ekristen: you will see your video chip and you can find guides [02:20] ekristen: you probly know more about it than me then :p [02:20] capron, the thing is that abrowser & firefox packages conflict with each other, can I tell them to ignore each other? [02:20] i686 [02:20] Ekristen: if its nvidia based then: gksu jockey-gtk will offer you a driver [02:20] CVD-PR: 32bit then [02:20] soreau: This guide I'm looking at here says I can increase the allocation from the BIOS. Would that work? [02:20] it is nvidia based [02:21] capron, I used icecat instead of abrowser, but it got ruined with version 3.6 and doesn't work === Prodego_ is now known as Prodego [02:21] actionparsnip_: the monitor is hooked up via a kvm, before it was hooked up via kvm and directly to the system it worked fine [02:21] blacksun, if it was 64, how it showit [02:21] soreau: Not sure how to explain the better video performance in Windows if it's a BIOS issue... but then I guess Windows wasn't runnig Compiz either...? [02:21] ThatGuyOverThere: AFAIK, you need to tell X through xorg.conf [02:21] now it is giving me issues [02:21] HOw can I find the source for the zd1211 driver used in Ubuntu 9.04? [02:21] Ekristen: great. Nvidia love linux [02:21] Khodok I think you have too choose what too run. [02:21] actionparsnip_: definitely [02:21] soreau: Okay. I'll keep looking. [02:22] Ekristen: run: gksu nvidia-settings [02:22] does anyone know why a dvd burner would max out at only 0.2x [02:22] nvidia drivers aren't too good actualy [02:22] ekristen: setup the display and click Write to X config file [02:22] but at least work. [02:22] ThatGuyOverThere: Hmm, are you running 32bit? [02:23] actionparsnip_: I get nothing [02:23] the command runs [02:23] Daz if by work you mean constantly lock up [02:23] ThatGuyOverThere: You see in the man page where it talks about the VideoRam Option? [02:23] prompted for password [02:23] when 32bit gonna die [02:23] then returned to prompt [02:23] CVD-PR: never! [02:23] Ekristen: run it in terminal: do you get any errors' [02:23] no [02:23] if ATi runs less stuff but runs 100% of the time [02:23] then ATi is better than nvidia [02:23] I didn't get that far, to tell you the truth. :) I'll check it out. [02:24] DMJC: mine run just fine. [02:24] ThatGuyOverThere: You see in the man page where it talks about the VideoRam Option? [02:24] which runs a lot of stuff but only 30% of the time [02:24] guys when Istart a console and run 'set' i see MANY functions in the environment of bash ... what are they doing there ? [02:24] I keep getting freezing in games [02:24] and it's all GPU related [02:24] happenned on two gpus as well [02:24] ekristen: use 1 monitor direct connected and use the gksu nvidia-settings [02:24] why might running "synclient TouchpadOff=1" not change the value of TouchpadOff? before and after running that, "synclient -l" says TouchpadOff=2 [02:24] new to ubuntu, do i need an antivirus software like I would if i were using windows [02:24] gerrin: no [02:24] actionparsnip_: 1 monitor via kvm [02:24] gerrin, no [02:24] dsub connection [02:24] ThatGuyOverThere: This means you would put something the following in the Device section of your xorg.conf: Option "VideoRam" "128" [02:25] gerrin: you don't need it yet and there isn't anything good anyway. [02:25] ThatGuyOverThere: For example [02:25] does anyone know why a dvd burner will only burn at 200 kb/s [02:25] soreau: Okay. Thanks. [02:25] ekristen: whatever makes it work, write the settings to the x config file then reboot with everything hooked up right. Might help [02:25] gerrin: you can get it though, but mostly to protect windows machines you may be networked with [02:25] actionparsnip_: gotcha I will give it a shot, everything worked great before switching to the kvm [02:25] actionparsnip_: so I don't have much faith [02:25] Norzb: check it is using dma [02:26] gerrin: not unless you are running a mailserver [02:26] ok another question, is there anyway i can get windows based programs to work on unbuntu [02:26] no im not [02:26] !wine > gerrin [02:26] actionparsnip_: it appears ubuntu doesn't want to honor what is written in the xorg.conf file [02:26] nick_h: I'm not sure if the gconf-key /desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/off might overrride? (Just a guess) [02:26] gerrin, please see my private message [02:26] ThatGuyOverThere: and it says this option is now ignored for 830 and later chips :P [02:26] ekristen: not something I've used tbh [02:26] actionparsnip_: where would I check that [02:26] gerrin: wine or virtual machine [02:26] Ekristen: it will if the file exists [02:26] soreau: How do I know if I have such a chip? [02:26] actionparsnip_: I have even deleted the xorg.conf and restarted gdm and xorg starts find without an xorg.conf or without generating a default one [02:26] Norzb: sudo hdparm /dev/sr0 [02:27] Oops [02:27] actionparsnip_: well seeming how 9.10 installer won't see my hard drive, but the previous version does, and now the xorg issues I am loosing faith in ubuntu [02:27] ThatGuyOverThere: So is your main problem video playback? If so, which player and vo method are you using for the player? [02:27] Norz : sudo hdparm -tT /dev/sr0 [02:28] actionparsnip_: thanks for the help, I will mess this crap some more, I will probably be back later [02:28] soreau: Video playback is the main problem, yes. Graphics also look jagged in Compiz and are sometimes choppy. [02:28] Ekristen: can always use hardy if it worked for you. Its still very supported [02:28] ekristen: are you having trouble with a harddrive not being recognized? [02:28] im new to irc what are some popular interesting channels [02:28] actionparsnip_:inapproriate ioctl for device [02:28] arand: i'm using kubuntu, actually [02:28] soreau: But as I said, I just tried switching to Metacity a couple minutes ago and did actually get much better video performance. [02:29] Norzb: I'm gonna hit the hay. Look into checking its using dma. You may need a firmware upgrade (risky) [02:29] How do I figure out whatapplication is listening on a port [02:29] ThatGuyOverThere: What about part b of my question? [02:29] actionparsnip_: are you pretty good with smb.conf? [02:29] arand: ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/%gconf.xml exists. would it be used in KDE, though? [02:29] metacity has a tendancy to lock up [02:30] Razertek: somewhat [02:30] netstat -a shows i'm listening on that port, but I want to figure out what app is doing the listening [02:30] actionparsnip_: everywhere some tell me to get the firmware but no one tels me where to get it [02:30] Norzb: sudo lshw -C disk [02:30] nick_h: I don't think so, I don't know much/anything about kde stuff. [02:30] soreau: Seems like a moot point to me... If I get better graphics performance with Metacity than with Compiz, I'm betting it's just a matter of not having enough video ram. [02:30] actionparsnip_: is the network manager intended to work with samba and smb.conf or do i need to add eth0 to interface file [02:31] soreau: But to answer your question, it does this with any video player. [02:31] Norzb: will tell you the exact model. Get the firmware for that exact model [02:31] how to downgrade the ubuntu 9.10 kernal so that mouse/keyboard freeze problem may be solved while booting [02:31] soreau: That includes streaming video, i.e. YouTube. [02:31] actionparsnip_: it didnt show anything [02:31] Razertek: network manager is nothing to do with smb.conf [02:31] Norzb: give it time [02:31] ThatGuyOverThere: Try this for a test: mplayer -zoom -vo xv /path/to/your/video.ext [02:32] hi [02:32] Razertek: network manager handles networks and network settings. Smb.conf manages samba shares and samba settings [02:32] Hi, Is it possible to delete and unmount extended partitions without losing all your data, and having to create a new partition table? When I book into the live cd, the extended directory is still locked and I cant merge the space into other ext4 partitions [02:33] Mudassarm30: select the older kernel from grub [02:33] hello. how do I get back the "sound preferences"? I lost it [02:33] actionparsnip_: but if i add eth0 to interface file then i have manually configured the networking which will allow the smb.conf to work properly...but the thing is i want to use network manager which you can only do one or the other (interface file) [02:33] actionparsnip_: it went through a list of interfaces and then brought me back to control i already ran it twice [02:33] anyone having troubles getting on msn with empathy, there has been a couple of days since it started throwing "network error" [02:33] soreau: That seems like it might be better. [02:34] soreau: But to get Compiz effects to work better I'm still going to need more video RAM allocation, no? [02:34] how do I get back the "sound preferences"? I lost it [02:35] razertek: you still need eth0 configured somewhat in /etc/network/interfaces [02:35] Razertek: if you add an eth0 entry to interfaces it will not be managable by network manager. Weather you use interfaces or network manager has no bearing on smb.conf [02:35] ThatGuyOverThere: It is not hard and fast guarantee compiz will absolutely run better if you increase the shared video ram [02:35] soreau: But wouldn't that make video performance better in general? [02:36] Hey all. Hope everyone is having a good evening. I have a (hopefully simple) question regarding accessing windows documents folders from ubuntu. Im unable to find anything in the "Documents and Settings" folder. Help? [02:36] ThatGuyOverThere: but it is worth a try. Id start by using the VideoRam option, which incidentally the man page says the values are in kb I believe then make sure the option is actually being used and not ignored, by checking your X log [02:36] actionparsnip_: how is that?...morphix: i am using lo in interfaces...the default setup [02:36] actionparsnip_: can I use the model number from newegg where i purchased it [02:36] the default setup still has 1 or 2 lines for eth0 [02:37] Norzb: if it is sufficient and gets you where you need to go then sure [02:37] actionparsnip_:ok and then wat google that [02:37] anybody know i can play this live-radio without using webbrowser? http://corusmedia.media.streamtheworld.com/player/Player.htm?id=cknwam&city=Vancouver&bdskey=&url=http://www.cknw.com&platform=EMMISAM&active=true [02:37] Razertek: all you need is the loopback device in there. The rest can be configured with networkmanager/wicd/whatever [02:38] morphix: auto lo iface lo inet loopback is all that is in there [02:38] razertek: enter this in /etc/network/interfaces which i currently have setup [02:38] auto eth0 [02:38] iface eth0 inet manual [02:38] thats it [02:38] morphix: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:38] Norzb: i'd use a conjunction of both to make searches better. Try a few search engines too [02:38] Veggie: Many players can play audio streams. Have you tried totem? [02:38] wait [02:38] remove the "iface eth0 inet manual" [02:38] just have "auto eth0" [02:39] morphix: 1 min [02:39] soreau yes i know: but what do i put as streamURL [02:39] soreau: Can't find my xorg.conf file. Where is it for Karmic? [02:39] once you've added "auto eth0" then log out and log back in [02:39] ThatGuyOverThere: You can create a default xorg.conf file with Xorg -configure === FunnyLookinHat_ is now known as FunnyLookinHat [02:40] morphix: http://pastebin.com/m4de4f941 [02:40] so is there anyway to install a tv tuner in ubuntu or is it just a waste?

D: [03:31] obscurant1st: ubuntu uses a swap partition, if your never use any it is best to keep it around because otherwise as soon as you run out of memory ubuntu will start killing programs [03:31] idgfhH: which version of firefox are you using?

[03:33] :D [03:33] thx [03:33] ouyes - fglrx Catalyst will work with 9.10 if you use the specially-provided (by ATI) prerelease version included with 9.10. It should also work as of Catalyst 10.1, released yesterday. [03:33] Adragon .!. [03:33] Adragon .!. [03:33] Stefan91: Stop [03:33] obscurant1st: if you really need the space you can reduce the swap partitions size or even move to a small swapfile, but it's always best to have atleast some swap (if your sure you never use it, 128M should be enough unless you want to hibernate) [03:33] WHAT DO YOU WANT [03:33] Adragon .!. [03:34] blakkheim - I think he's already got the ATI HD3400 [03:34] Adragon .!. [03:34] WHAT [03:34] RiotingPacifist: i will reduce it, now i hv given almost double the size of my memory, its almost 4GB, i thnk i ll gv 1 Gb for swap. [03:34] :d [03:34] what the hell do people want from me? [03:35] obscurant1st: think of it as backup ram for when your ram gets full, if there is not enough bad stuff happens, but most of the time it will sit unused [03:35] blakkheim: Thanks for the !lucid tip. [03:35] im using Xubuntu [03:35] Adragon .!. [03:35] RiotingPacifist: ok thx for the info.. [03:35] SHUT THE HELL UP ALAN [03:35] obscurant1st: if you want to hibernate you need ~1.1x ram, 4GB is excessive though so i'd definetly cut it to ~2.2 [03:35] LMAO [03:36] IdleOne: Thanks for the #ubuntu+1 info.

They have only added support for RedFlag DT6.0 SP3 and SLED and SLES 10SP3. [03:42] pbink: there's something in the new Xorg that isn't compatible with the ati catalyst, unless they have fixed it. what I recommand is to use the ati open source driver [03:43] afroman, i will try that...any experience with DRI's? [03:45] pbink: i'm a newbie, so I'm not that good. besides I was just happy to see images again :) [03:46] pbink: I also have less tearing now. [03:46] afroman, so which open source driver did you go with? [03:48] hello [03:48] pbink: as I said, I'm a newbie, so I installed all 3. then tried each one until I was closest to the best pic [03:48] ouyes - If your kernel in 2.6.31-14-generic the first thing you should do is run Update Manager from the System menu. === jack is now known as Guest39918 [03:48] afroman, gotcha [03:49] pbink: but if U have an hd, I should recommend radeonhd [03:50] Looking for a solution in keeping all my ubuntu workstations in sync when it comes to packages installed and versions.

(did you see the link?) [04:13] mboh [04:13] Hook Not at all. [04:13] Callum_: Ah, AFAIK, no. Looking at the nvidia-settings GUI, I would guess I select X Server DisplaConfiguration?

[04:16] ravic: that's what it's supposed to do :) [04:16] hmg, no problem come back if you have any other questions [04:16] ravic: unless you are using some kind of compositing, it will be pseudo-transparency [04:17] Callum_: Oky, does this sound like a good idea: lug the box, LCD, keyboard and mouse down to the TV room, plug the s-video out into the TV, boot it up, use the LCD to run nvidia-settings, try to autodetect? [04:17] how do i get real transpaerncy? [04:17] anyone ever get the PS3 Eye webcams audio to work [04:17] ravic: use something like xcompmgr or compiz fusion [04:17] puff: yes, that will work =) [04:17] ravic: do you have "Desktop effects" enabled?

[04:37] kinja-sheep, im not telling him [04:37] roachmmflhyr; yeah [04:38] ravic, its annoying when people talk in different colors [04:38] ravic: Changing colors + fonts changes things for you, not for others. [04:38] ravic: This channel is set +c, which means that color changes are silently removed from messages you send. [04:38] navin: open ff, goto edit and then to preferences [04:38] rumpsy i am there [04:38] navin: And then choose privacy tab [04:39] ravic, oh yeah plus the +c flag is set..useless to change here [04:39] rumpsy ok [04:39] ravic, will work for other channels [04:39] ravic, that is if they dont have +c set [04:39] navin: under privacy tab, you will be having three headings, History, Cookies, Private data [04:40] rww; if so y are ur message displayed in black and not my message [04:40] roachmmflhyr; if so y are ur message displayed in black and not my message [04:40] navin: under History, choose you option, that how long do you want to store your history of ff [04:40] my message in channel is in diff colour than all of urs [04:40] ravic, thats so you can see what messages that you sent [04:40] ravic: because your client is displaying how it thinks your message will look, not how it actually looks after filtering. [04:40] navin: under History, choose your option, that how long do you want to store your history of ff [04:41] i found a how-to to my question, thank you [04:41] where to customize it? [04:41] will the ubuntu cd image work if burnt to a dvd? [04:42] Yes the cd will work if burnt to a dvd [04:42] navin: Under Cookies, heading, there is a nice option called "Keep until" make use of that [04:42] ubuntu iso* [04:42] ravic: You can't change the modes unless you're one of the ops but that won't happen here. === stu__ is now known as flexible [04:44] Hello my names Abraham and I have a question about the Ubuntu 9.10 ppc link = http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/9.10/release/ubuntu-9.10-desktop-powerpc.iso [04:44] rumpsy r u dere? [04:44] navin: Under "Private data" heading, it better to choose this option "Always clear my private data when i close firefox", and use the settings button next to that, in that settings option choose everything if you want [04:44] navin: ^^ [04:44] cabrera: Ask away. [04:45] I have downloaded it from several places but I still keep getting this error from the cds [04:45] Its asking me for credentials when I know for a fact that it is autologin [04:45] cabrera, thanks [04:46] I have used all the possible usernames and passwords that I could think of [04:46] but no luck [04:46] Anyone know what could be the problem?

[04:48] LiveCd's [04:49] It is not the first time I use LiveCd's [04:49] cabrera: The passwords are randomly generated on LiveCDs, there are no known password.

Open that file with a torrent app like transmission on ubuntu. [05:00] hey [05:00] lavin, Then transmission will download the rest of the file for you (obviously the torrent you want will take longer than the few moments it took to get that .torrentfile) [05:00] how do i install java onto my ubuntu?

[05:41] hahaha [05:41] nikitis, you can dpkg also but not recommended [05:42] I think you might wanna turn this channel into a "registered users only" one very soon. :-) [05:42] Out_Cold, i'm more interested in the name of the packages [05:42] Both Trista and Electa had a hostname [05:42] Omar87, it gets to that occasionally [05:42] Out_Cold, What is the opengl 32-bit libraries called? [05:42] 65.*.*.* <-- Isn't that a Microsoft IP? === titaniumbrella is now known as Carbonish [05:43] How do I move my downloads-in-progress without breaking them, having to start all over? [05:43] Out_Cold: :-) [05:43] zruty: Which program? [05:43] nikitis, what is your overall goal here?? [05:43] Hey folks, got a compiz question for you, real simple, yet I cent seem to find the answer. Is there a way to snap all windows to tileup next to each other neatly? like 4 windows would make 4 panels on the screen etc [05:43] cyqotiq: transmission === bib is now known as cpyarger [05:44] zruty: I think Transmission have "right-click and move" thing. [05:44] Right-click, choose "Set Location" [05:45] eh, no [05:45] or 'Move data file to' [05:45] Myke1: If you mean "Tile"... not that I know of. But there is a "Snap to Edge" function [05:45] In the transmission screen? No such options when I right click on the download [05:45] zruty: Move Data File To [05:45] Which version? [05:46] zruty: "Set Location" as cyqotiq said. Unless you're on Hardy. :) [05:46] Ubuntu 9.04, tranmission 1.51 (7963) [05:46] Myke1: You can do it with the grid plugin [05:46] No, these options do not show [05:46] Ah. Update to 1.75 ;) [05:47] nikitis, a apt-cache search libgl turns up about 30 or more libraries... depends on your needs to what you should download [05:47] @soreau is that in compiz or do i have to download a seperate plugin [05:47] ok [05:47] @cyqotiq ill give it a try [05:47] Myke1: It is part of the plugins-extra package which is installed by default [05:47] I figured the automatic updater thing would do that, well, automatically [05:47] @soreau ah ok let me look then [05:48] Myke1: soreau suggested... yeah.nvm [05:48] :) [05:48] Out_Cold, i'm trying to play World of Warcraft on 64-bit. I've installed 32-bit wine. Have the ia32-libs installed. But the game crashes when I try to play. [05:48] cyqotiq: mobi-sheep headyadmin: thanks [05:48] Myke1: There is also the tile plugin as cyqotiq but you would have to install that separately afaik [05:48] OOOoOO [05:48] zruty: I imagine if you don't see "Set Location" when right-clicking on the torrent queue in Transmission, you could try pause it and move it manually. [05:49] mobi-sheep: That doesn't wokr [05:49] nikitis, well do a search in synaptics for opengl and read thoroughly [05:49] I tried... big headaches [05:49] mobi-sheep: Yeah I did.... then adjust the download path and etc, but it doesn't pick up on that [05:49] mobi-sheep, that breaks it [05:49] upgrade then move [05:50] zruty: The resume torrents resides in ~/.config/transmission/resume [05:50] O_o my balls dropped? [05:50] zruty: I'm pretty sure you have to run the 1.7x version to get that functionality. I remember being upset at pre 1.7 versions for breaking the torrent. [05:50] hi [05:50] Billlll: Congrats!! === richard is now known as Guest90926 [05:51] LOL [05:51] hi I'm trying to install karmic on an inspiron 1564 (pretty new) and I get the black screen. when I try the "try ubuntu" option I heard the startup sound, but no video [05:51] time for a barmitzfa [05:51] someone knows how i can to connect to ubuntu-server channel...i got a message that said i need to by identified [05:51] Roxyhart08, you are here [05:51] whammo: What video card? [05:51] cyqotiq: Yeah, well, they're not all that critical but some had been going for a few months... [05:51] Cyqotiq and Soreau: I got it, Grid does what i'd like it to do. Thanks a bunch :) [05:52] Myke1: np [05:52] mobi-sheep: Found them... what can I do with these? [05:52] Got home from work went to turn on computer and it hangs at Starting Crypto Disks..... I don't even have encryption setup on this computer. Help! [05:52] but this is ubuntu or ubuntu-server? [05:52] Roxyhart08, it's the same thing really... [05:52] http://unimelb.edu.au/ <--- This a good university saw it in one of the spam bots :D [05:52] Roxyhart08: you need to register your nick to use -server at this time [05:53] Out_Cold: no, it is not the same. [05:53] zruty: There are support in #transmission -- The idea is that you copy (rather than move) the content to the new path. Set the new path in ~/.config/transmission/setting* ; then you pop in .torrent in ~/.config/transmission/resume/ -- Now, try and start Transmission. [05:53] oh there actually is a server channel??? i always use this channel :p [05:53] yes, but how i do that ? [05:54] Roxyhart08: /msg NickServ help register [05:54] !resister [05:54] is there any special thing to do to regustrate my nick? [05:54] Anyone know if X-Chat (still) supports hiding the Join/Part messages? I'm not finding it. [05:54] cyqotiq: Right-click on the channel tab. [05:54] cyqotiq, it's right click on the channel on far left [05:54] Out_Cold: th [05:54] x [05:54] and mobi-sheep :) [05:55] sorry i am new in that before i was in wenchat so dont know what are you saying [05:55] ahh... peaceful, now. :) [05:55] need to send a msg? [05:55] Anybody know how to get Empathy to actually pop up new IM windows when people IM me instead of just notifying my in the tray? [05:55] at someone? [05:56] Roxyhart08: please ask in #freenode if you do not understand the instructions i gave you [05:56] Roxyhart08: A nickname servicing channel bot, yes. [05:56] Roxyhart08, http://freenode.net/using_the_network.shtml [05:57] malnilion: Try disabling the "Use Message Indicators" option? Just guessing [05:57] cyqotiq: i think ATI Mobility Radeon HD4330 [05:57] you shouldn't have a problem with that card. [05:57] ok, thanks [05:57] sorry, that was something of an obvious statement. [05:58] cyqotiq: scratch that, it's working now. took an really unusual amount of time but it's going [05:59] mobi-sheep: ... that seems not to work.... [05:59] ATi has proprietary drivers. If you're just "trying" it, then it's probably just running in direct FB mode.. but I have never heard the login sounds before the video showed up. Odd. [06:00] How to update to a later version? apt-cache does not show the version #, the GUI does not allow me to install. I just did an apt-get update but that did not do anythnig with transmission [06:00] zruty: I'm on different version than you but I'll test it (w/o setting location). [06:00] zruty: That method works, but it's tricky. I'd say your best bet is to upgrade and restart X-mission [06:00] Are you on Hardy? [06:00] zruty: There are PPA that will push you to 1.76 [06:00] 9.04 [06:00] Tthat's jackalope I think [06:00] Jaunty... you should be able to update. [06:01] You may want to try using the System > Admin > Package Manager and try a manual update [06:02] zruty: https://launchpad.net/~transmissionbt/+archive/ppa [06:02] or updating your source list might work, too :) [06:02] zruty: You did "sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude full-upgrade" ? [06:03] Out of curiosity, is there a reason you're staying with Jaunty instead of doing a distro upgrade? [06:03] how can I add permanent folder to PATH right now?? [06:03] 9.10 doesn't have the usual /home/user/bin now [06:04] hey guys if anybody has a minute I am having probs with my RT2500 using ubuntu 9.04. getting no dchpoffers [06:04] c0l2e: That is for user's private bin (if it exists). [06:04] edit your ~/.profile and export your appended PATH variable [06:04] c0l2e: In other word, create a folder "bin" and place your candy scripts there. [06:04] hmm [06:04] cyqotiq: I need to plan such a big upgrade... it is not just a desktop computer [06:04] i'll try [06:04] zruty: Gotcha. Just asking. [06:05] anyone know if the Leadtek vc100xp works under ubuntu? === Guest90926 is now known as kingbilly [06:05] Got home from work went to turn on computer and it hangs at Starting Crypto Disks..... I don't even have encryption setup on this computer. Help! [06:06] Icons on my top right corner in the notification area keeps disappearing (system tray) What do? [06:07] disappearedng_: Have you looked in the bottom left to see if they moved? [06:07] jk [06:07] Is it the same icons that "keep" disappearing? [06:08] the package manager does nto allow me tot mark it for upgrade... [06:08] zruty: Check your source lists and make sure https://launchpad.net/~transmissionbt/+archive/ppa is listed [06:09] hi everyone.. how are you all today? [06:09] kingbilly: hmm, have you got a live cd ? [06:09] !hi | firevai [06:09] firevai: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [06:09] i have a lil problem.. i went mucking with trying to kill pulse audio for skype, and now when i click restart.. it doesnt respond.. now i have do manually in terminal reboot. any ideas what i may have done.. i've also uninstalled skype, and i still have the icon in applications/internet [06:10] zruty: If you have to add it (I'm guessing you will) then close, and do an 'sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude full-upgrade' [06:10] i removed the exe from /usr/bin.. [06:11] firstly i removed it with synaptec pkg manager [06:11] no [06:11] cyqotiq what bottom left are you talking about [06:11] disappearedng_: I was kidding. [06:12] disappearedng_: Which icons are disappearing? [06:12] xchat, azureus [06:12] are the programs still running, or do they get killed, too? [06:12] i tried rm -r skype.. didnt work either [06:12] pretty much only those that will disappear when you exit the GUI [06:12] actually ps aux seems to show that they are indeed alive] === adam is now known as Guest11522 [06:13] I had a similar issue in 9.04 once. Phantom issue. After about a week, it stopped. [06:13] thanks everyone [06:13] cyqotiq: .. having some trouble adding it into my sources.list ; it keeps telling me there is a malformed line [06:14] any suggestions.. i can post the link for the page that i found to disable pulse.. and show the lines i did in term... maybe that mucked my restart from working [06:14] In Virtualbox, how do you load up and run the Additions "CD"... I load it up and click on the Vboxlinuxadditions-am64.run but it wont let me install it because i am not in root... how do i Sudo it in terminal? [06:14] Oh think I can figure this one out === wenko_ is now known as wenko [06:15] zruty: Also, you may need to enable the 'universe' packages. can't remember if x-mission is in 'main' or not. [06:16] Myke1: meet me in #vbox ? [06:16] cyqotiq: universe is in there. But now it says somethting the public key is not available [06:16] How do you temporarily disable 3d Compisition [06:16] can anyone point me in the right direction for my problem please? [06:16] ok [06:16] DasEi: i do, but i actually booted to another partition i still had [06:17] shud i apply all updates in synaptic ? [06:17] kingbilly: so can you access your ""crypted"" files ? ? are they mountable ? [06:17] zruty: Actually go look at this page: https://launchpad.net/~transmissionbt/+archive/ppa [06:17] i tried to kill pulse audio from a forum, and now when i click restart it doesnt respond.... i have to manually do it in terminal.. any ideas? [06:18] The instructions are all laid out, pretty simple. Look for the link that says "Not running Karmic?" [06:18] and i cant get the skype icon to go away in applications/internet [06:18] DasEi: yes i can access them. I mounted, chroot, update, and i'm gonna run update-initramfs -u when this upgrade is done [06:18] question, someone have experience with ubuntu 9.10 server...it is better or have a lot of bugs? [06:18] A couple of times lately my Ubuntu has slowed to a crawl and all I can hear is my disk being access [06:18] My computer becomes unusuable [06:18] I think it might be Vuze, but are there any diagnostic programs I can run in the background in case it happens again? [06:19] kingbilly: good approach, else update grub another try [06:19] DasEi: I am wondering if the computer doesn't actually think my harddrive is encrypted, but is actually hung up on whatever the next part of the boot sequence is [06:19] I have a dual core and both cores run at 100% [06:19] ok wellll guess theres no hope for me atm lol.. take care everyone.. guess i will go search the world of google [06:19] disappearedng_: If you go into one of the programs whose icon has disappeared, and then try unchecking the "show tray icon" (or whatever the wording might be), then RE-checking it, does the icon come back? [06:19] Kentrel: I like to add the system monitor applet. You can also use the termial command `top` [06:20] p.s i've found updating from 9.04 to 9.10 makes my system slow, and lags really bad [06:20] DasEi: is there a command to update grub? [06:20] firevai: What are your specs? [06:20] kingbilly: karmic / grub 2 ? [06:20] pent 4...3.0 single core.. 2 gigs ddr [06:20] intel onboard sound.. ati gfx card [06:20] .danbh,. but what can I run that will keep logs that I can check when I reboot [06:21] When my computer has become unusable I have no option but to reboot [06:21] kingbilly: update-grub [06:21] sorry i have bad eyes.. if i miss what you say.. i'm sorry [06:21] DasEi: LinuxMint KDE 8 touched the grub last... i'm not sure if it is grub 1/2 [06:21] firevai: 32 or 64 bit? [06:21] 32 [06:22] kingbilly: if you got a file : /etc/default/grub, its grub2 , then can do sudo update-grub [06:22] i'm really trying to sort this skype, and restart problem atm [06:22] i cant get skype completely out of my system.. i still have the icon in applications/internet, and when i click restart.. nothing happens.. i have to manually do it in term [06:23] DasEi: thanks Thank you cyqotiq [06:23] np [06:23] firevai: does the icon launch skype, or is the app completely remove? [06:23] *removed [06:23] it doesnt launch it.. i removed it from usr/bin [06:24] but first uninstalled through synaptec [06:24] ok.. this is just a kludge, but you can use the menu editor (System > Preferences > Main Menu) to remove the icon. [06:25] oh ok thanks didnt see that [06:25] np [06:25] ciao a tutti [06:25] cyqotiq, you rock [06:25] DasEi: sudo update-grub 'Cannot find list of partitions!' === andrea is now known as Guest49224 [06:25] now any suggestions on why my restart wont restart? [06:26] cyqotiq: Wonderful! Figured it out with a lot of help from you! Got to go download by download but that will take a few months less time than to restart them all. Thanks! [06:26] mobi-sheep: Thanks to you too! [06:26] sudo find /boot/grub/stage1 ... kingbilly? maybe [06:26] so what happens when it says : Package mysql-server-4.1 is not available, but is referred to by another package, this may mean that the package is missing, ha been obsoleted, or is only available from another source [06:26] zruty: np, good luck [06:26] kingbilly: same harddrive? [06:26] brb one min please [06:26] zruty: If you didn't know, you need to run those two commands (first, to update the software database, second, to obtian and install/update the packages). :) [06:27] Brandon_: it means the package doesn't really exist, except as a passing reference [06:27] DasEi: yeah one hard drive, i entered the command on my chrooted partition [06:28] hrm [06:28] so if i have directions to install that and i get that messege, should i find newer version thatn 4.1? [06:28] kingbilly: still a little more to do : http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide [06:29] firevai: no luck (also, the wiki says to ignore this if you have multiple os entries. I have 3 different os) [06:29] ahh ok sorry.. [06:30] kingbilly: but beforehand, check if initramfs hasn't resolved it, grub is before cryption is called, so posibly still in order (though wrong labels there can cause that behaviour, too) [06:30] sorry brb [06:30] Anyone know of any reading material on 10.04 plans? [06:30] mobi-sheep: Yes, I figured it out, also how to import that gpg key and everything. I am now on 1.76 and am setting locations and verifying local data.

I figured it would do it automagically when i created the partition [06:59] PDG1: so you got another situation there, a 1g external (usb) foramtted with an ext fs [06:59] hi, I am n00b in python, how do I make .pyc file run on double click, I am on karmic [07:00] the .pyc file runs on command prompt as it is executable [07:00] PDG1: ooh, sory. it's a TB hd [07:00] CAPcap: Looks like it's trying to use something that your hardware doesn't support (or at least that you don't have driver support for) [07:01] DasEi, it is done then what to do ( ati driver open source) [07:01] PDG1: is it inbuild or removable ? [07:01] DasEI, yeah... i was gunna say :P but it still seems like I've got the wrong permissions or something [07:01] CAPcap: XFree86-VidModeExtension (on line 102) and XF86VidModeGetGammaRamp (on line 103) [07:01] cyqotiq, yeah its prob asking for 3D which isnt supported well in the open driver for my card [07:01] DasEi, inbuild [07:01] what is your chipset? [07:01] PDG1: have to add it to fstab then [07:02] ati mobility radeon 900 [07:02] 9000*** [07:02] DasEi, err... removable isn't the same as external, right? [07:02] Shelda: mark it as executable with chmod +x /path/to/file.pyc [07:02] which ati no longer supports so i cant get prop drivers either [07:02] ouyes: the open source will do, but if we can get envy to use the ati ones, result will be better [07:03] Shelda: you will also need the right first line in the file. I don't know the path but it will be something like: #!/bin/python [07:03] PDG1: removable is like sata-plugable or usb, internal is in-case [07:03] DasEi, ok () i jsut want to remind you the issue [07:03] it is there, I told you, I can run it on command prompt but when I double click on it, wont run [07:03] Shelda: it will then be double clickable, you may want to right click the script and mark it to run in terminal too [07:03] PDG1: gksudo gedit /etc/fstab [07:04] DasEi, what to do then after installing [07:04] PDG1: scroll down, add a line : [07:04] CAPcap: That's the best I can come up with, off hand [07:04] ouyes: the path I choosed ws to look for propitarys first, you want open source only ?

I would imagine it uses Nautilus's Connect To Server [07:51] DasEi: so I notice that it still shows up in the menu as mamajam. I'm guessing that's because the drives label is mamajam. [07:51] rumpsy: good days, worst days ;-) [07:51] zmbMonkey: you might be interested in parcellite [07:52] jongbergs: That would be an issue of router logs.

Is this a bug, or a setting somewhere? [07:59] Guest49380: Now you know. Also, check out more of your laptop's FN features. It does more than just brightness. :o [07:59] what happens when i do apt-get update? [07:59] yeah [07:59] Guest49380: It is not a bug. It is a power option feature.

[09:05] Hello, weird error here, it seems like a key on my PC (ubuntu 9.10) is being permanently pressed. But its not (continues even when keyboard unplugged). The key that is supposedly pressed is either F, "." or enter... just carries on and on. [09:05] Stevethepirate: clean your keyboard first thing [09:05] Rofl, same thing happens with like 3 keyboards. [09:05] verb3k: exploiting is the best key to familiarize distros......spend 3hrs exploiting if success? u gained! if failure? then ask! don't get pissed off coz no one is helping u for an hour....u'd lost a precious time to deal with ur distro....that would be ur bonding moment.....hehe...just like me....exploiting is challenging..... [09:06] Stevethepirate: does it do it in a livecd? [09:06] Stevethepirate: maybe old keyboards [09:06] That was my first idea ;/ [09:06] that sounds like hardware error [09:06] NX_COMMFD=26Process started [09:06] flaarg: New logitech pc's, and I would rather not restart the machine if possible. [09:06] Segmentation fault [09:06] Stevethepirate: does it do it in tty or just in X? [09:06] The box is running x11vnc, but I am not sure why suddenly that would cause this. [09:06] i hate this smegma fault [09:06] Just on X. [09:07] does restarting X fix it? [09:07] smegma fault? [09:07] segmentation fault [09:07] At first I thought it was a user being a bastard and catting on a pipe. [09:07] Um, restarting X does fix it, but after a while it starts up. [09:07] o good times [09:07] qtnx [09:08] (as in the problem resumes after a while) [09:08] Stevethepirate: it probably is a user being a bastard then [09:08] flaarg: It's not. [09:08] The problem starts like when I am typing on X. [09:08] And w/e key I am pressing, it carries on [09:08] As if it is stuck [09:08] well im sorry I can't help you I have only ever seen that happen because of a cat or a broken/jammed keyboard [09:09] stdin> listsession --user="alteregoa" --status="suspended,running" --geometry="1280x800x24+render" --type="unix-gnome" [09:09] flaarg: ok. [09:09] anyone know how to fix the issue where the right ALT key stops functioning? [09:10] buy new keyboard [09:10] people use the right alt key? [09:10] Keymap issue or the hardware? [09:10] It gets automatically set at boot time for something (can't remember what) [09:10] flaarg: Totally. [09:10] xkeymap maybe? [09:10] I have mine set to multi-key for ° and ☭ [09:10] why are you so judgmental flaarg [09:10] Heh. [09:10] hghg [09:10] flaarg: Commonly to press ALT+Home to navigate to homepages... single-handedly!

[09:11] just ban them [09:11] retry: I tried, and they respawn. nice idea though. [09:11] Give me powers to kick those useless heads [09:11] probably a sploited box [09:11] pat|nG: What you mean is "Is Virtual Box" in the Ubuntu repository [09:11] Moving on in programming! [09:11] Myrtti, kick on the word gentoo [09:11] and ban 2nd offense [09:12] retry: move on [09:12] * alteregoa eat those doners with pig meat [09:12] pat|nG: And the answer is yes. [09:12] I love vbo [09:12] x [09:12] it's even nicer than vmware workstation and yet...free [09:12] Heh [09:12] well workstation has some features vbox doesnt...but I really dont need em [09:12] Its networking is a bit finnicky though. [09:13] i have no probs with it...I just nat to my router anyway [09:13] Sometimes network just dies on it suddenly. [09:13] Hi all, am I right in thinking that I would not be able to do an install of Ubuntu by loading into a virtual drive and diong this all remotley? [09:13] hmm i haven't had that prob steve [09:13] pat|nG: To clarify Stevethepirate's statement, "vbox" is a programming object used in GUI development. "Virtual Box" is a virtual machine software. [09:13] eth0 just drops even hour or so [09:13] For some reason. [09:13] And I am spoofing macs. [09:13] So it causes a bit of a problem for me. [09:14] why are you spoofing? === obsidieth is now known as o- [09:14] up to no good? [09:14] Nah. [09:14] At our varsity, MAC specific DHCP leases. [09:14] varsity? [09:14] So instead of waiting 2 weeks to get a new MAC registered, I just recycle MACs [09:14] university [09:14] spoofing macs, steve jobs doesnt like that [09:14] oh [09:14] "college" [09:14] Hahaha [09:15] steve jobs doesn't like a lot of things [09:15] interesting concept... so "Varsity sports" in high school... ? [09:15] like letting his customers do what they want with products they bought [09:15] cyqotiq: I don't follow? [09:15] cyqotiq, yeah that is why it confused me too [09:15] nvm.. :) [09:15] Oh ;/ [09:15] !offtopic [09:15] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [09:15] We have weird names in South Africa :D [09:15] stick to the issue, folks [09:16] Myrtti, there don't seem to be any right now :/ [09:16] Myrtti: I think this is borderline, since we are talking about an eth0 dropping on ubuntu 9.10. [09:16] And when it comes up it reloads original MAC [09:16] :D [09:16] And spoofing macs [09:16] steve, can you set the mac in the ifup script? [09:17] You probably could. [09:17] that'd sort it out [09:17] Ye. [09:17] I was merely pointing out some problems I had had with Vbox. [09:17] Stevethepirate: is virtualbox a good choice? or vmware? [09:17] Depends on what you need? [09:18] virtualbox is pretty decent. vmware is great, but makes you jump through hoops just to use a VM player. [09:18] pat, go with virtualbox [09:18] I enjoy vbox's simplicity, but I guess it lacks some of vmwares features. [09:18] pat|nG: pick virtualbox [09:18] vmware is bloated too [09:18] a lot [09:18] The thing is. [09:18] tell me the difference between virtualbox and vmware if u dnt mind? [09:18] This boils down to choice. [09:18] I mean, just look at an IDE. [09:18] pat, not much diff but vmware workstation is not free...the player is [09:18] Some people prefer eclipse, some prefer kate, some prefer visual studio. [09:18] Its all choice. [09:18] some just open vi [09:18] virtualbox is lighter and snappier [09:19] I mean, I use nano or vi for almost anything [09:19] btw: are there any installation packages for vmware? [09:19] But when it comes to C# I use VS. [09:19] the guest tools in virtualbox work better for me [09:19] I can share clipboard and what not with much less config [09:19] Stevethepirate: if I remember right, ethtool also lets you set the mac for a nic [09:19] and virtualbox has seemless mode [09:19] DasEi: I know the ways to fix it thank you. [09:19] which kicks all kinds of butt [09:19] I was just pointing out that vbox *does* drop it. [09:19] And you need to "fix" it really. [09:19] the ONLY thing I've found that VMWare has over VirtualBox, so far, is that it has better graphics support if you run a Windows guest OS. [09:19] every time i boot ubuntu my raid 0 drives go offline and i cannot find a fix [09:19] and that's questionable [09:20] Running windows on vmware [09:20] cyqotiq, have you tried vbox lately? [09:20] Means you now have 2 problems. [09:20] I have. I can't get some of my 3D software to work properly. [09:20] hm [09:20] Then again, some of it doesn't work in VMWare, either. [09:20] I think that is semi-stolen from the old quote "If you think you can solve a problem using XML, you now have 2 problems" [09:20] i have had no luck getting the fancy beryl stuff working in either [09:20] i dont care much either way [09:21] What do you _really_ want to virtualise compiz-fusion for? [09:21] vmware does let you save multiple snapshots though [09:21] if you care [09:21] retry: You do mean compiz fusion. [09:21] yeah whatever it's called now [09:21] :D [09:21] Stevethepirate, I dont really want to virutalize it, i just mean I can't get 3d support going in either [09:21] It's why I run a dual boot. Win7 partition handles my hardcore 3D software that have no Linux counterparts. [09:21] TBH, guys I need to make a confession. [09:21] you're a woman? [09:21] I am running 5 boxes of linux. [09:21] And a win7 laptop [09:21] only 5? [09:21] *gasp& [09:22] (in my room at the moment) [09:22] I'm on xp right now dude... [09:22] what [09:22] !!!!! [09:22] seriously, now this is offtopic already [09:22] Ye, back to topic. [09:22] haha sorry myrtti [09:22] ok who wants help with something [09:22] move to #ubuntu-offtopic for the chat [09:22] I'm ready to tell people to go to google [09:22] So, anyone with ideas about my keyboard? [09:22] so it's only in X? [09:23] Ye. Not in any tty. [09:23] hmm [09:23] Hi all, am I right in thinking that I would not be able to do an install of Ubuntu by loading into a virtual drive and diong this all remotley? [09:23] tried obvious things like turning keyboard repeat off? [09:23] every time i boot ubuntu my raid 0 drives go offline and i cannot find a fix [09:23] Stevethepirate: >_< I've read that as "Anyone with ideas without my keyboard?" %)... Okay, going back ontopic now [09:23] theadmin: ? [09:23] jimi, what do you mean by virtual drive and what do you mean by remotely? [09:23] Stevethepirate: Whatever :D [09:23] Hi, I just downloaed farsight2, how do i need to instal on ubuntu? [09:23] my keyboard is broken on X ;/ [09:24] Explore2: Uh... is this a Windows game? If so, use WINE. [09:24] No [09:24] steve: can't you just use "><" ? [09:24] Farsight is a conference thingy for gstreamer [09:24] wine suck [09:24] Not a game. [09:24] Stevethepirate: Oh lol sorry [09:24] retry, by virtual drive i mean loading the iso on a virtual drive with isomagic or daemon tools ro whatever and by remotley i mean logging into my pc remotley using vnc...all i need to do is get the ball rolling, i can do the rest later [09:25] Explore2: What is the file extension? [09:25] Jimi_Neutral: In this sense it is called "Ghosting" a disc. [09:25] rasstar: Yeah. But it's fine with me. I only run very little windows stuff [09:25] well can vnc relay drives to your remote box? I dont think so [09:25] yes [09:25] yes vnc can relay drives? [09:25] theadmin: .tar.gz [09:25] i've not seen that [09:25] Stevethepirate, sorry i thought ghosting was copying a drive...im from windows lol [09:26] just mount a vnc drive [09:26] Explore2: Seems to me you've got the source code [09:26] I've done remote installs using kvm appliances [09:26] yes [09:26] not vnc [09:26] what's a vnc drive? [09:26] Jimi_Neutral: your explanation is poor, my answer will also be :/ [09:26] !megaphone [09:26] Explore2: Hey. [09:26] a remote attached drive [09:26] what is empathy megaphone applet? [09:26] Odds are there are README file inside that tarball. [09:26] i bet it would work only with network install iso [09:26] not full iso [09:26] too much latency for full iso [09:27] Explore2: You'll have to compile it then. Try running a terminal in directory where you extracted after extracting the archive. Then try running "./configure && make && sudo make install" [09:27] You want to "tar -xvvf [09:27] theadmin: Not always. [09:27] Stevethepirate, is it? sorry i thought it was self explainitory, I need to install ubuntu from a remote location usnig vnc and the copy of ubuntu needs to go on a virtual disc drive cause its not burnt to cd [09:27] well i use hamachi, so i can mount everything over NFS or SMB [09:27] also how do you get a vnc server going on a box you want to wipe? [09:27] Stevethepirate: He said he got the source ;) [09:27] you cant reboot into the iso remotely [09:27] and there is no open port for intruders, it makes it very secure [09:27] theadmin: Not all source is as simple as configure, make, make install. [09:27] jimi, I dont think you can do that ...not with vnc [09:27] Stevethepirate: Obviously... but if no, then explaining it will be a pain [09:27] you need some sort of kvm appliance [09:28] theadmin: Better to teach people to read the README file? [09:28] something that runs independently of the target machine [09:28] like Sun's ELOM [09:28] retry: Ye. [09:28] well i dont need to do the full install, as I said i just need to get the ball rolling and i can carry on when i get home and am back at the machine [09:28] Stevethepirate: Right... :D Anyway, only thing I managed to compile successfully was Apache :D [09:28] jimi but you can't run a vnc server AND boot into the iso can you [09:28] heh... get the (tar)ball rolling. :) [09:28] Jimi_Neutral: The thing is. You are *ON* windows at the moment. You can't wipe the active disc. [09:29] cyqotiq: Oh you devil! :D [09:29] to install you need to boot from the iso...that means the vnc server isn't running [09:29] Jimi_Neutral: So your only option is to install the / partition on windows. [09:29] Stevethepirate, so it needs ot be from physical CD [09:29] retry: He could actually. [09:29] how [09:29] How can I find out what's locking apt? I can't see anything open that would be doing it [09:29] man ubuntu offtopic has TOO much chatter [09:29] retry: He could "get the ball rolling" [09:29] how [09:30] By resizing his NTFS partition actively. [09:30] And extracting all his / files. [09:30] Oli```: Update Manager, Synaptic Package Manager, aptitude, apt-get, Ubuntu Software Center... none of those are running? [09:30] Oli```: Well, try running "sudo killall apt-get && sudo killall aptitude && sudo killall synaptic"... those are 3 applications that most likely can do so [09:30] well ok he could use virutalbox create a guest linux system ...attach to real drive [09:30] boot guest off iso [09:30] and install to drive [09:30] That is dumb. [09:30] But probably better than anything else. [09:30] Jimi_Neutral: Just go home early and install it. [09:31] cyqotiq: not that I can see - no but I'll try theadmin's killalls [09:31] your way won't install anything just dumps the CD iso [09:31] that's not a full install [09:31] I didn't say dumb the ISO [09:31] *dump [09:31] also the way I just described worked perfectly for getting my usb key install going [09:31] Lol. [09:31] That is a big rigmarole for a USB key ;/ [09:31] :D You running DSL on it? [09:31] naw [09:32] full ubuntu [09:32] Eish :D [09:32] i tried dsl and puppy and they pissed me off [09:32] no security updates and freaking old software [09:32] Heh, I used fluxbox for around 2 years. [09:32] Stevethepirate, lol thanks I think i will, will be a lot easier [09:32] At school all machine were windows NT [09:32] Which was pretty irritating. [09:32] Jimi_Neutral, install virtualbox on target machine [09:33] retry: For a new ubuntu user, he should rather just go home and install like a normal person. [09:33] cyqotiq & theadmin: thanks - I looked through PS for synaptic and it turns out there an invisible window of it somewhere (very odd!) but killed now and apt-get is working. Thanks [09:33] i used flux capacitors 2 years ago [09:33] well that's probably true, but I'm here to provide solutions, not make decisions [09:33] Oli```: np [09:33] Navigating in Launchpad > Ubuntu > Bugs: Having added a comment to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/350680, how can I efficiently navigate to bug #489574? [09:33] When I said fluxbox above I meant DSL with flux. [09:34] change the number part of the url [09:34] that might work [09:34] DSL has 2.4 kernel...annoying [09:35] 2.4 kernels are solid, they give good performance [09:35] the dsl one is old [09:36] may be old, but powerful [09:36] i don't necessarily believe it [09:36] anyway I wanted ext4 too [09:36] to optimize use of disk [09:37] usb key gets like 10-15MB/sec throughput [09:37] need to lay off disk writes as much as you can [09:37] hi all, any one know how to setup gmail account in evolution...

[09:51] cyqotiq: that's a terrible joke [09:52] w3l54666: ;) I blacklisted mine by opening up another blacklist file (in my case /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ath_pci.conf) and sticking "blacklist rt2800usb" on a new line but I think you can make a new file in /etc/modprobe.d/ as long as it starts "blacklist-" and ends ".conf" [09:53] faileas: I know, I'm awful.. but "/usr/local/foo/man" was begging for it. [09:54] cyqotiq: if you insist /usr/local/gw6c/man/ and there's a man5 and man8 folder in it. [09:54] however the exact name of the app has nothing to do with the issue ;p [09:54] faileas: add it to MANPATH [09:54] llutz: how? and which one of the two? [09:55] faileas: /etc/manpath.config [09:56] faileas: adding /usr/local/gw6c/man/ should make 5 and 8 available (man 5 foo, man 8 foo) [09:57] llutz: ahh, fixed i think ;p [09:58] anyone have a Ricoh Co., Ltd Webcam 1000 running?

[11:01] Sargun: goto system->preferences->sounds.. there you have options [11:01] Sargun: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/437429 Sound customization is severely lacking in 9.10, but there are workarounds. [11:01] :-/ [11:02] ew, atime is enabled. [11:02] Man, what's up with the IO scheduler, I'm running a copy in the background and it's completely bringing my system to a halt [11:02] what's the command to delete an application? i mean the total delete? [11:03] apt-get remove [11:03] pat|nG: "sudo aptitude purge " [11:03] pat|nG: sudo aptitude/apt-get purge package [11:03] good morning [11:03] thanx guys [11:03] purge/remove, close enough [11:03] yes [11:03] I come from a CentOS/Gentoo background [11:03] where emerge -C was god. [11:04] Sargun: i'm new to centos, that i'm having in 3rd hdd [11:04] can u guys recommend me a good and thin IM server for ubuntu ? actually i use jabberd14 but got serious memory issues, with a 500 users database i can get up to 4gb of mem use until it dumps the process [11:04] korb, ejabberd is awesome [11:05] unreal-ircd is fine for small installs [11:05] pat|nG: The purge command will however not remove the user-specific config files in the home dir, those you will have to remove yourself.. [11:05] erm, inspircd, not unreal, unreal is actually pretty rad. [11:05] i just removed xscreensaver [11:05] i don't know where i get that app [11:06] INVALID UTF8, someone please help me with that error in, for example auditious music player's playlist on ID tags!

IMO [11:07] any screensaver app u could recommend? [11:07] pat|nG: xscreensaver-gl *-data are installed by default it seems (at least here on 9.04) [11:07] whats the command to change ownership? cli>chown -R user [11:07] faileas, ejabberd is awesome [11:07] Sargun: well, since he explicitely mentioned having trouble with it... unless you could work out what's wrong... ;p [11:08] oh, sorry, I didn't see that [11:08] what issues were you hitting with ejabberd? [11:08] faileas, what's wrong with irc? [11:08] Sargun: ...eep. i think i got confused [11:08] Why does sound (e.g. music playback, regardless of player) have a different quality in WinXP and Ubuntu on the same machine? Do any of them pass it through an equalizer? It is markedly better ("wholer") in XP, while in Ubuntu it often makes the laptop case resonate even at not too high volumes. [11:08] jabberd14 is the issue [11:08] Sargun: its just not an IM client ;p [11:08] *server [11:08] 500users 4gb consumed mem until dumps [11:09] korb, wait, -- ejabberd was consuming 4 G of memory? [11:09] lynxsys: you can use it to change user and group: chown user:group [11:09] Sargun: If you come from CentOS/Gentoo background, you might be interested in Ubuntu Minimal (where you start with a console and install certain packages as you go). [11:09] why does the clock do weather? [11:09] Sargun: gnome magic [11:09] mobi-sheep, nah, I'll try ubuntu your way for a while [11:09] somebody with good knowledge of unionfs ? if i modify a file, it copies the whole file and then do the modficiation ? or does it store only the modification ? [11:10] i've been reading linux documents.....just wanna ask something....are all those commands i've red on linux applicable here on ubuntu? or they do differ most of the commands? [11:11] pat|nG: Usually yes. Unless you're reading outdated linux documents. [11:11] pat|nG: most commands are the same [11:11] pat|nG: most should work, there are always differences (i.e package-management) [11:11] hi, how can i make a xgettext recursive scan?

Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports. [11:13] Sargun: There are PPA repo you can add to make it 3. :) [11:13] Sargun: ubuntu isn't a rolling release distro [11:14] Sargun: new versions of software (apart from security updates) are in new releases.

[11:21] !channel [11:22] is there any downside to using apt as opposed to synaptic === alteregoa is now known as Howling_mad [11:25] Sargun: the keys on the keyboard become gray faster [11:25] Sargun: synaptic has a nicer internal history function, otherwise I don't think so. [11:25] Sargun: Nothing at all. synaptic is GUI package manager. apt is CLI package manager. [11:25] and what is this aptititude thing [11:25] Sargun: Another front-end. [11:26] aptitude keeps a bit better track on what packages are installed than apt-get [11:26] ah [11:26] Sargun: somewhat higher-level than apt-get, has a ncurser interface if started as-is [11:26] hi! does anyone know if there are eclipse(ee) packages for ubuntu? [11:27] Sargun: The real package manager is dpkg. Apt, aptitude, synaptic, and Software Center are tied to it. [11:27] Sargun: aptitude imo is better at showing conflicts and giving suggestions on solutions. [11:29] hi i cant find opera in synaptic [11:29] where is it? [11:29] not in synaptic?

[12:12] and the BADSIG [12:12] Arand: thanks for a reply!!! :) (relief!) let me try. [12:12] arand: I might have, how to check? [12:13] pat|nG: Where did you get that line from?

I did not. But I have clicked "apply system wide" on a proxy config dialog somewhere at some point [12:16] lotus: then it's not that at least.. how do you see that aptitude goes through tor? Ah, that $http_proxy might be the issue then.. [12:16] from the error message [12:16] same i did post the pastebin.com link earlier [12:16] I see that it goes through tor because without tor open, it says : fowarding failure [ip 127.0.0.1 8118 ] [12:17] what's the best way to get it to not set that way by default? [12:18] arand: thanks :) [12:19] something seems to be working. lets see if it continues to work as expected :) [12:19] lotus: if you do "export http_proxy=" that will clear that variable. [12:19] arand: did that. do I need to make a script to do that every time I login? [12:20] lotus: I think not, but am not sure. [12:20] thanks I'll find out when I reboot :) [12:20] lotus: does it work without tor now? [12:20] yes :)_ [12:22] lotus: btw, I think another way to clear variables is "unset http_proxy", but it should do the same..

[12:27] can I safely rm -rf /usr/share/games torcs and others ? [12:27] isnt this a apt bug ? [12:27] ne0futur: Remove the data packages etc. either through synaptic, or apt-get autoremove [12:27] <_ruben> ne0futur: use the purge option of apt-get/dpkg [12:28] ne0futur: purge the /right/ package [12:28] apt-get purge did nothing [12:28] 1: Delete the contents of /var/lib/apt/lists/partial. <---- how to do it? what's the command? [12:28] 2: Ensure file /etc/apt/sources.list only points to "http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/", not, as Jonathan Harker points out above, sources such as "http://nz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/" <---- again how to do it? what's the command? [12:28] ne0futur: "remove" with apt-get will only remove the named packages, but not "torcs-data" for example. [12:28] ne0futur: but "apt-get autoremove" should do that [12:29] apt-get autoremove find nothing to remove [12:29] still 1 GB data for games i removed . . . [12:29] hey guys, can i create a link-up from mu ubuntu laptop to my m8's windows home server, via the net??? [12:29] pat|nG: I'm back. Change it via "gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" [12:30] mobi-sheep: tell how to do it bro [12:30] hehe [12:30] ne0futur: try checking with "dpkg -S /usr/share/games/torcs" to see which package those files belong to. [12:30] i ll have to spend 30 mins in dselect to find all the packages and remove them one by one . . . I thought apt was better made . . . never seens this with urpmi . . . [12:31] do you think this could be reported as a bug ? or debian guys will say me its normal ? [12:31] explore the other apt tools perhaps. [12:31] Hi there =) can some one help me with Iptables.. I cannot mess this up, and I am flying blind. I need www + ssh and mysql only from localhost + bruteforce attack prevention some kind.. This far I have gotten, but before I run it, I could use some confirmation.. =) script: http://pastebin.com/mc701c0a [12:31] <_ruben> ne0futur: dpkg --purge any-packages-you-removed [12:31] * Dr_Willis missed the initial problem. but knoqws theres a LOT of features to the apt system that get overlooked [12:32] thanks , dpkg -S /usr/share/games/torcs will help me save a little time [12:32] I have one shot at this.. if I shut my self out.. that server is sitting idly for 2 weeks.. o_O [12:33] why ssh only from localhost? that dosetn make a lot of sence [12:33] dpkg --purge torcs did nothing [12:33] Dr_Willis: no ssh from out side, but mysql only from localhost [12:33] root@lucifer:~# jockey-text -e xorg:nvidia-185 [12:33] SystemError: installArchives() failed [12:33] I get that fun little error, any ideas [12:33] diipadaapa_: i belive mysql has settings for that to set what ports/ip's to listen to [12:34] dpkg --purge flightgear neither [12:34] ne0futur: did you only install the "torcs" package when you installed it, normally "torcs-data" is pulled along, but marked as auto-installed and hence can be autoremoved when "torcs" is removed. [12:34] why not 'sudo apt-get --purge whatever' ? [12:34] ne0futur: if you installed those packages specifically they wont be able to autoremove. [12:35] Dr_Willis: i do it as root . . . dont need sudo [12:35] ne0futur: oh, you've got root. good luck [12:35] * Dr_Willis still wonders why dpkg and not apt-get.. [12:35] ill find them one by one with dpkg -S . . . but really it looks like a bug for me [12:36] Audacious doesnt properly recognize UTF-8 characters, so do some other programs, how can I fix that? [12:36] * Dr_Willis has missed ne0futur 's original problem. [12:36] and furthermore packages are badly named, without dpkg -S i would have never nbeen able to find a package named fgfs-base ( could be named flightgear-data . . . ) [12:37] ne0futur: apt-cache search flightgear didn't help then? [12:37] Myrtti: http://pastebin.com/m504f3481 can u give me the howto do it step by step? how to delete the contents? and change the archive source? [12:37] Myrtti: is it bad to use root with ubuntu when managing packages ? [12:38] ne0futur: in general, using root in ubuntu to do *anything* is bad. [12:38] ne0futur: use sudo. [12:38] ne0futur: its best to use sudo as needed like ubuntu is designed. [12:38] bbl [12:38] is it possible apt dont work is using root , not sudo ? [12:38] Dr_Willis: has residual stuff in /usr/share/games, albeit having removed the "basenamed" packages, guessing that a lot of *-data *-core etc. is still left, and unable to autoremove for some reason. [12:38] ne0futur: it should work the same. [12:38] @Dr_Willis I have a friend whose first command when opening a terminal is "sudo bash" [12:39] ctford: i will be nice and just say.. 'thats stupid' :) [12:39] then again you have to wonder what all one needs to do as 'root' once you get a system set up.. i rarely use sudo for more then an apt-get update, and apt-get upgrade these days [12:39] @Dr_Willis You use nicer language than I did when I saw him do it [12:39] ok apt-get remove fgfs-base freed 400 MB ;) i m better . . . next one [12:40] * Dr_Willis thinks theres a reason synaptic was invented [12:41] Audacious doesnt properly recognize UTF-8 characters, so do some other programs, how can I fix that? [12:41] so can anybody help me out regarding linking my ubuntu laptop to a friends Windows Home Server?? [12:41] w3l54666: clarify what you mean by 'linking' [12:41] USB Thumb drives fail to automount although AUtomount is enabled in gconf and the device is propery formatted, what could possibly cause that? [12:41] Dr_Willis: via internet [12:42] arand: many thanks for the dpkg -S command, seems to be the only working tool to find and kick game dependencies filling my disk [12:42] i need some help with the firewall [12:42] ManDay: ive noticed automounting 'crashes' for me every so often i can still manually mount devices.. but i have to log out/back in to get automounting working right again.. siometimes i got to reboot.. not sure whats causiong it [12:42] Dr_Willis: as he lives a few many miles away from me, and we share documents and such [12:42] w3l54666: try to be a little bit more specific by what you want to Do with a 'link' that term means veyr little. [12:43] w3l54666: He could use winscp to access files on your machine if you wanted. [12:43] Dr_Willis, I can always mount it manually (as su). Rebooting or logging out never changed anything for me, tho [12:43] am on karmic and used the network tools to find the open ports. how do i close those open ports? [12:43] ManDay: odd. Ive had similer issues since beta. [12:43] Dr_Willis: ok i wana connect to his home server, for specific files, and if need be, use it as storage, is that possible??? [12:43] k0ala: dont run any services it dosxent matter if they are open if a service is not listening to them. [12:44] w3l54666: proberly. but ive never done it that way. You may to ask in #windows for what service to use on windows to set that up. You dont want to do 'samba' over the internet without a ssh tunnle, or vpn proberly [12:44] ne0futur: if you did not specifically install the fgfs-base package it *should* be automatically removable via autoremove, hmm... Also I know that aptitude tends to autoremove things automatically where apt-get doesn't, might be worth using instead in future.. [12:44] Dr_Willis, 139, 445 :| [12:45] Dr_Willis, thanks for the hint then [12:45] ne0futur: but as of now sometihng might have marked the ' [12:45] Dr_Willis: ok so what would i need for a ssh tunnel then software wise, on my end of the link??? [12:45] arand: i just installed torcs and flightgear ( anongst others ) using dselect [12:45] !ssh | w3l54666 [12:45] w3l54666: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for client usage.

[12:46] w3l54666: 700MB+ media transfers takes forever if you're thinking that. [12:46] !firewall | k0ala [12:46] k0ala: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist [12:46] mobi-sheep: really [12:46] Audacious doesnt properly recognize UTF-8 characters, so do some other programs, how can I fix that? [12:46] arand: iirc dselect automaticaly selected the data packages needed for the games to work [12:46] ne0futur: ...marked the *-data packages as manually installed.. [12:46] http://pastebin.com/m504f3481 can u give me the howto do it step by step? how to delete the contents? and change the archive source? [12:46] mobi-sheep: rekon i could stream from his server then??? [12:46] ( and should do the same when uninstaling) [12:47] Dr_Willis, though i have tried both, thanks for the help [12:47] w3l54666: Really. It goes in and out of ISP interwebs and whatnot. [12:47] k0ala: My router blocks those from the internet.. so it dosent matter if they are open.. actually they NEED to be open for samba to work on my lan. [12:47] k0ala: so the fact theya re open with the tools dont matter here. [12:48] w3l54666: You're better off with external storage media. It is faster and hassle-free.

(actually the modem also has a builtin router and i got another between it snd the pcs) [12:51] k0ala: let some site like shields up scan your network and see aht it sees..

[12:52] Dr_Willis: You used Orb before? It works well?

Any linux alternatives? I know VLC is capable of that but meh -- A little hassle.

[13:09] pastebinit (source: pastebinit): command-line pastebin client. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.11.2-1 (karmic), package size 22 kB, installed size 344 kB [13:10] I need the readme.diskdefines's documentation. i've googled it but I cant found it [13:10] arand: yes i ll try to use aptitude and not apt-get or dselect, thanks for the advice [13:10] Why do I get network unmanaged error ? [13:11] UK-DONE: probably because your interface is managed via /etc/network/interfaces file? [13:11] thanks all. bye [13:12] networkmanager leaves all network interfaces alone that are managed by the system networking initscripts [13:12] mgolisch: But now I cant updae anymore and my net is down [13:12] Ive never used dselect in several years of ubuntu ussage..... [13:12] I dont even bother with aptitude much any more [13:13] mgolisch: Any solution for this ? I tried a couple of solutions from forums but couldnt do it properly [13:13] did the dmesg output, then what to pastebin it?? [13:15] hello, anyone else also have slow speed when downloading from ppa.launchpad.net or is it only me? [13:15] dmesg | pastebinit [13:15] in know this is heavily offtopic but as i dont know where else to ask: i want to configure squid to anonymize http requests, meaning the receiver does not see the ip of the client but the one of squid, does anybody know how to do that? [13:15] hey all.. im only a few month in to running ubuntu full time.. ive had it before.. but never ran it full time like I am now... [13:16] yesterday I started getting random pop ups on pidgin... mostly saying a few random letters and invalid channel or user [13:16] amouge: congratulations! [13:16] today I got one that said __ wants to send you to irc.someserver.com#hackerthreads [13:16] Does anyone have a solution for network unmanaged error ? [13:16] i forget what someserver.com was [13:16] amouge: configure pidgin not to receive messages from ppl not on your contact list [13:16] amouge: Spams. Ignore them. [13:17] ok.. they were pidgin notificiations though.. not messages in new tabs [13:17] does that make a difference [13:17] UK-DONE: yes: edit nano /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf and set managed to true [13:17] amouge: afaik not [13:19] thank you.. was worried about being compromised.. [13:20] amouge: not gonna happen unless you accidentally click accept on such requests [13:20] remoteCTRL1: I need a little bit primer for editing files in Konsole (Yes I have kubuntu) I tried a couple of times but all lines just disappers when I press insert button [13:21] UK-DONE: using what text based editor? [13:21] UK-DONE: i wrote the command already with nano infront which is the editeor;) [13:21] -e [13:22] amouge: Like that? [13:22] remoteCTRL1: Ok I tried vi to edit the same file but when i clicked insert it kept adding line and all the main code went to the bottom [13:23] Anyways I ll try [13:23] UK-DONE: do yourself a favour and use nano as i said;) further put sudo infront otherwise you will not be able to save the file [13:23] Hi all.. my problem is: i Just bought a new hdd and mount it in /etc/fstab to /home/data but it apears as "Media" in Places.. as it would be a removable disk.. how can i change this [13:23] Hi all.. my problem is: i Just bought a new hdd and mount it in /etc/fstab to /home/data but it apears as "Media" in Places.. as it would be a removable disk.. how can i change this [13:23] NFischer: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:24] if its a removeable disk.. let the auto mount system handle it.. not fstab.. [13:24] is one way [13:24] hey guys [13:24] NFischer: also give the disk/filsystem a proper 'label' and it should use the label name where it can [13:25] NFischer: You can make it looks nice (ie "20 GB Filesystem") [13:25] Audacious doesnt properly recognize UTF-8 characters, so do some other programs, how can I fix that? [13:26] hey when i upgraded from Jaunty to Karmic some of my keypad directional arrows stopped working, does anybody have any ideas about how i may fix em please? [13:26] Quetstion: Will my Microsoft keyboard and mouse work with Ubuntu (Running on USB) [13:27] Justin_`: normal usb keybiorads/mice should work fine [13:27] yes Justin_` [13:27] i'm enjoying ubuntu now! [13:27] Will my netgear wireless adapter work fine aswell? [13:27] Justin_`: unless they are logitec.. then some have issues.. [13:27] depends on the chipset Justin_` [13:27] Ah ok. [13:28] Damn you guys are really helpful and fast [13:28] Only mouse/keyboard issies ive ever had was with the fancy keys/buttons that i never use anyway [13:28] has anyone got any ideas of cool things to do with ubuntu [13:28] things can install over webmin that is [13:28] Justin_`: that's why we get the big bucks :) [13:28] lenswipe: over webmin? Huh. whaat does that have to do with anything. [13:28] haha :) [13:28] How much ram would it use just running the OS? [13:28] Dr_Willis: it means i cant use the command line [13:29] lenswipe: why not? [13:29] Justin_`: the live cd I think requires 384 to run.. server 256.. but the more the merrier.. [13:29] theres always the synaptic gui... [13:29] Justin_`: those are minimums [13:29] Dr_Willis: because the client side ssh client in webmin requires outbound port 22 to be open, im at college where its blocked. [13:29] Do you have to have the CD in to use the OS? [13:30] Justin_`: no [13:30] Ah ok awesome :) [13:30] lenswipe: you do realize that webmin is considered a big security risk? and you can proberly set up ssh to use some other port.. [13:30] I am trying to reset my root password with Ubuntu 9.10 i selected recovery mode from the GRUB menu I then get a menu which gives me the option to get a root shell. However this root shell requires a maintenance password. How do I change a forgotten root password? [13:30] hey when i upgraded from Jaunty to Karmic some of my keypad directional arrows stopped working, does anybody have any ideas about how i may fix em please? [13:30] Justin_`: but then how you gonna get it? .. you could download the iso and put it on a usb stick instead of a cd [13:31] Yeah I am downloading the ISO, burning it onto a CD then installing it [13:31] But I thought you said you need to have the 'live cd' in to use the OS [13:31] Justin_`: you on a win machine now? [13:31] Justin_`: live cd lets you test or install the os [13:31] !root | jeke [13:31] jeke: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [13:31] Windows vista atm [13:31] jonbo: but if you run the liveCD environment where you boot solely off the CD, then you'll have to keep the CD in of course, but not if you install ubuntu to disk. [13:32] jeke: do not try to set one, please. [13:32] I have also forgotten my normal user password [13:32] jeke: add "init=/bin/sh" to your kernel line from the GRUB menu, change password. [13:32] LjL, thanks [13:33] Justin_`: ok.. the live cd allow you to boot from it. You'll be able to run the os right from the cd.. it's slower (much) but a good way to test it... also burning the iso is different from data. if your burning software doesn't support iso images. just google for windows iso burner.. when burning do it at the slowest speed possible.. [13:34] Ahh ok [13:34] !iso [13:34] To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [13:34] jonbo: oops, above was meant for Justin_` [13:34] Hmm. thers some factoid with a list of burning apps for windwos.. I like 'infrarecorder' or 'burnatonce' [13:35] Justin_`: there you go .. Dr_Willis had ubottu give you a link that might be helpful [13:35] !burn [13:35] CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, brasero, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast (GNOME), wodim (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [13:35] Wouldn't I be able to burn the ISO onto a CD from my windows laptop? [13:35] Still not that one. :) [13:35] !burniso [13:35] To burn an ISO image of a CD in Linux, Mac OS or Windows, read the howto at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [13:35] then put that into the desktop I want to install it on [13:35] Justin_`: yes with the right tools [13:35] Justin_`: or use unetbootin and make a bootable usb flash drive.. it will install faster from that [13:36] Ok ill read that help site [13:37] hey peeps i was wondering if there is a hotkey app for linux or something built in to ubuntu where i can have keys set to start apps. print text, change screens etc?? [13:37] bbelt16ag: gnome and compiz has some settings to do that [13:38] ok [13:38] bbelt16ag: there is already a configuration for that in System>pref>keyb. shortc. [13:38] i see it [13:39] some of those example tasks - fall under 'compiz' controlled features also [13:39] so whats the word on fglrx cards in Lucid? [13:39] dp_ : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Lucid/10.4 support/discussion. [13:39] bbelt16ag: And also compizconfig-settings-manager has a very general tool for applying all kinds of shortcuts [13:39] Pici: cool [13:39] hey when i upgraded from Jaunty to Karmic some of my keypad directional arrows stopped working, does anybody have any ideas about how i may fix em please? [13:40] bbelt16ag: in case you're compiz of course. [13:41] B9: LOL.. for some they are activated and they've never seen it.. drives them crazy to turn them off... try ctrl+alt+numlock.. might tbe ctrl+numlock .. it activates the arrow keys in the numeric keypad to act like a mouse [13:41] B9: some as in left works.. but not right> [13:41] or de-activates [13:42] k thanks [13:44] I am still having problems resetting my password i tried adding init=/bin/sh to the kernel line in grub. I get the error /bin/sh cannot open splash, and then a kernel panic [13:44] jeke: the 'rescue/revovery' option dident work from teh grub menus to get to a shell? [13:44] no [13:44] what did it do then? [13:44] You may have deeper issues [13:45] if their is no root password can just push enter at the recovery screen menu [13:45] ? [13:45] yes [13:45] cant say that i rember off hand jeke - I always rember my password [13:46] ok i will try that first [13:46] a kernel panic - seems to be a sign of a deeper problem [13:50] Could i kernel panic [13:51] Sorry, *Could a kernel panic be caused by another error in the boot process [13:51] such as not being able to enter single user mode [13:52] it boots normally without the init=/bin/sh parameter [13:52] Myrtti, thx [13:52] I am using brasero to burn a CD. sometimes it refuses to burn one unless I reboot the laptop. any ideas? [13:53] it always says preparing to burn otherwise [13:53] jaypur: np [13:56] ola [13:56] so does anyone have any ideas? [13:56] no? [13:56] Kartagis: use k3b [13:56] jeke: so the whole problem, is you some how frogot your users password? [13:56] something cool i can install on ubuntu using webmin [13:57] i have no SSH access at college [13:57] lenswipe: can't webmin install regular packages? if you've got the module activated [13:57] yeah [13:57] Slart: can it? [13:57] Slart: what module is that? [13:57] Slart: whats it called? [13:57] lenswipe: what is it with webmin.. is webmin installed at the school or on your remote machine? [13:58] lenswipe: I vaguely remember it having an apt module [13:58] scunizi: webmin is server side - its on my machine, its the only thing the college dont block more or less [13:58] I vaguely remember webmin not being supported here. [13:58] Slart: hmm it doesnt have one of tose [13:58] g [13:58] g [13:58] Pici: i think you must have amnesia :) [13:58] hooooola [13:58] hello when i upgraded from Jaunty to Karmic my keyboard direction arrows stopped working, well all but the left direction arrow... i would appreciate some help fixing [13:58] eyyyyy [13:58] so you want to isntall programs you can play over the web browser? [13:58] ay ak+ [13:58] yakimov: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:58] hi #ubuntu [13:59] Dr_Willis: no, i want to install like servers to do cool stuff without having SSH access [13:59] could someone tell what is the name on unstable ubuntu repository ? [13:59] in debian it is sid [13:59] grey_: there is no such thing. [13:59] Myrtti: ok, what is the latest repository then ? [13:59] grey_: ubuntu isn't a rolling release distro, but you may want to try lucid. [13:59] !lucid | grey_ [13:59] grey_: 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 [13:59] Pici: lenswipe correct.. webmin isn't supported because it changes some file settings that get borked on some upgrades, patches etc.. I think the supported package is ebox or something similar [14:00] Myrtti: where I can read about repository organization ? [14:00] lenswipe: time to check the package manager then I guess.. Theres a few games that are client/server// but you still need the cliekt on your end [14:00] ubottu: thaks [14:00] Myrtti: thanks [14:00] !webmin [14:00] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead.

[14:30] ok [14:30] the problem is my friend installed ubuntu inside a windows partition (in the root dir there is a 'ubuntu' directory) familiar with this feature? anyhow, his grub is messed up, but i can't get grub to reconfigure itself from a live cd because i can't make it find the boot dir since it isn't in the root of the parition (my theory anyway) [14:30] tininek, Haha think she use vista lol [14:31] i tried to dialogate [14:31] i tried to explain, but too much effort [14:31] tininek, she isnt bying it :) [14:31] she just wants vista so there she has [14:31] she suspects something i guess [14:31] tininek, I have switch many clients over to ubuntu from windows...some with great difficulty until they actually used it [14:31] i just need to change that ubuntu logos [14:32] i know [14:32] tininek, the white on black one?

[14:37] Hi all, i have problem with my flash player on firefox, i want to delete it and install it again [14:37] any one can guide me? [14:38] noviceTux: sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-nonfree && sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [14:38] luca__: it would probably be easier to just move your files from the old directory to the new one. [14:39] noviceTux: what did you install to get flash working in the first place? [14:39] luca__: and possibly file a bug. [14:39] Any help with apache? [14:40] what is the geekiest thing you can do to your ubuntu system? [14:40] noviceTux: if you installed the package mentioned by warriorforgod *and* you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras then you have 2 different flash packages installed.. they are interfearing with each other.. uninstall the "non-free" version [14:40] get my site running using flash [14:40] actually it works nicely but was a little pita [14:40] techrascal: make love to your floppy drive? :P [14:41] lol....

[14:42] techrascal: I guess that hacking the kernel would rank pretty high on the geek scale.

[14:42] pat|nG: install cheese [14:42] !info cheese [14:42] But if I am using an xterm and issue the exact same command, a window named "LPR GUI" pops up.

[15:17] hi [15:17] Yoshio, have you restarted since you activated the nvidia drivers?

[15:27] Yoshio, i don't think it's that bad.. you just need to do the annoying work of trial and error.. you know opera works abit better.. so try another browser that is basically the same as firefox like konqueror or something [15:28] Yoshio, and then you can work out what is going on... did you upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10? or still on 9.04? [15:28] Yoshio: Yes, I've experienced very sluggish FF if I keep the profile on a usb stick as opposed to on the HD, which makes a tremendous difference, so poor disk performance is definitely a possible cause.

[16:52] is it possible to upgrade to 9.10 when installed on C: with wubi [16:52] ? [16:53] cr0mulent: er its hard to say since new usb sticks dont say what chip there are using [16:53] if you got a netbook, make sure you got battery [16:53] yes [16:53] MasBlaMan: is there a certain brand that works/ [16:53] maxjezy: if you like your ubuntu enough to upgrade it, why don't you install it properly to the disk? === jj__ is now known as illaska [16:53] Myrtti, dont got a usb memory yet. [16:54] cr0mulent: some times even a revision of the same model changes the chip [16:54] maxjezy: it should but given that upgrades can be troublesome normally, I'd either install it fresh using wubi or do a normal install (dual boot). [16:54] need to get me one, i on a netbook without cd [16:54] Jeruvy, wubi 9.10 is not working [16:54] Does anyone know of something that will allow me to use my touchpad more like a tablet input system rather than a standard mouse? [16:54] bad meta link [16:54] Is there any way I can login to Ubuntu without the password (I forgot what i put in) [16:54] kellopes : Ofcourse you have to be cautious. because at the end you might end up deleting the whole partition table [16:55] Myrtti, - no kidding i have noticed that most of the issues people have is due to installation / good morning [16:55] But you can always experiment with gparted. Untill you press APPLY no changes will be applied. [16:55] Yes, use Konboot [16:55] maxjezy: ah well you could also wait until it's fixed or for lucid. Is there something about jaunty that is requiring you to upgrade? [16:55] can some one help me? I've installed some updates and now my wireless no longer works [16:55] oasa.. thanks.. i will try later.. i need to go for lunch now.. [16:55] How do I use Konboot?

It only works on 32 bit systems thoug. [16:56] i did use 8.04 before [16:56] *though [16:57] maxjezy: well if you do upgrade, make sure you backup your disk (wubi install) first, and make sure you have enough free space. [16:57] I am running 32 [16:57] maxjezy: what kind of "mobile" connect? [16:57] Kon-Boot Windows&Linux fine? [16:57] !konboot | Oasa [16:57] what is kon-boot ?

[17:01] hola [17:01] where do i change keyboard settings, i have the wrong one [17:01] i need swedish [17:02] Hello, I'm trying to connect to Ubuntu Server (8.04) from Mac. I have CotVNC as my client, and vnc4server xinetd (as my server) I can succesffully connect, but when I do, all I get is a gray screen, with a small terminal console in the top left corner, and a cursor. I have installed the ubuntu desktop already... suggestions? [17:03] irc://chat.freenode.net/postgis [17:05] hey guys [17:05] Ok, I have booted in KonBoot and I have a white screen with a logo [17:05] anyone here have a dual display? I'm having some issues with full screen flash [17:05] Do I have to do anything else or what [17:05] i initiated a command yesterday, and when i came back to my machine, it had powered off, i dont know why (power failure?) is there a way to tell if the command completed successfully? [17:06] what was the command [17:06] dd [17:06] dd of=/dev/zero if=/dev/sd* [17:07] panfist_: are you trying the usb-creator workaround? [17:07] does the drive look right [17:07] i have no idea what the usb-creator workaround is [17:07] im trying to zero these drives because theyre going to go into a raid array [17:08] and this way i can assume-clean on the array instead of resyncing when it's first started [17:08] hi, i have a problem with my microphone in ubuntu [17:08] is very quiet [17:09] but all slider in alsamixer is on 100% [17:09] panfist_, looks like you just wiped your hard disk(s) clean! [17:09] that was the goal [17:09] looking for suggestions on usenet clients, prefer ones with good gnome integration [17:09] i want to know if it finished [17:09] !de [17:09] In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuchen Sie bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Geben Sie einfach /join #ubuntu-de ein! Danke für Ihr Verständnis. [17:09] What is the default 'root' password [17:09] !root | Justin_` [17:09] Justin_`: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [17:10] I can't login to Ubuntu tho [17:10] Its on the login screen === FeiRuoWa is now known as zz_FeiRuoWa [17:10] panfist_, try booting it first [17:10] I can't remeber the password i set for my account [17:10] Justin_`: try starting the recovery mode [17:10] And how would I go about doing that [17:10] Justin_`, you should have created a user account during the installation [17:10] try booting what first? [17:10] panfist_, also you should try such stuff from a live environment, hope you did that [17:10] yea go recovery then "sudo passwd your_user" [17:10] How do I get into recovery? [17:10] Justin_`: that is from the Grub menu.. there's is one normal kernel mode.. then there is the recovery mode.. from there you can do all kinds of things [17:11] reboot and select it in the boot options [17:11] is there a tool or software which can generate macs based on the OUI ? [17:11] ... Confused. I don't have any options... [17:11] Justin_`: you might have to press a key at startup if the grub menu doesn't show up.. don't remember which one it is though [17:11] the actual command i did was specific to the raid drives, i just threw the wild card up because it was shorter than typing in the actual command, on 6 drives. i did not wipe my boot partition [17:11] Justin_`, during boot before ubuntu starts to load you should see the grub loader [17:11] F8 ? [17:11] I'm wondering if anyone has gotten windows 7 to read ext4 with one of the many drivers out there... I have one that 'works' in that it will mount the drive and I can see the root folders but they're all empty... any ideas? [17:11] why cant you guys just answer the bleepin' question, how do i know if the command completed? [17:12] Justin_`, it will count down for a few seconds before loading.. you should see a few options there.. use your cursor keys to select ubuntu xx recovery mode and press enter [17:12] panfist_: if there was an easy answer we would have told you [17:12] or is it impossible to know [17:12] how do i show the list of users connected in my .login script? [17:12] * panfist_ frowns [17:12] Dont see it :( [17:12] Justin_`: hang on.. let me get the info for you [17:12] http://yogieza.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/grub-boot-loader.jpg <- should look like this [17:13] Justin_`: reboot and hold SHIFT [17:13] Hello was wondering if the was a w32 program I could use to connect to my ubuntu machine [17:13] after running an aptitude safe-upgrade and all updates fine, what does this [-17] mean on this final line? Current status: 0 updates [-17]. [17:13] nope [17:13] mogsog, putty for ssh access and tightvnc for a "remote desktop" [17:13] Ok, I got into a balck screen, (like command prompt) [17:14] What was that sudo command? [17:14] do u know something like rapache but with bind configuration? [17:14] Justin_`: "sudo passwd your_user" [17:14] Justin_`: it should get you a menu that looks something like this http://www.pendrivelinux.com/wp-content/uploads/WUBI-Grub2.png [17:14] !sudo | Justin_` [17:14] Justin_`: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [17:14] when i run a script (./my_script), I get "Unable to execute, no such file or directory" -- but the file is right there [17:14] mre1f: is tight vnc on linux or do I just use the client to connect to the built in linux remote desktop? [17:14] what could be the problem? [17:14] Authentication token manipulation error - password not changed [17:15] does anyone know if theres another video player besides totem that has a "repeat mode"? [17:15] Justin_`: what are you trying to do? [17:15] Justin_`: change your own password? [17:15] friday: vlc [17:15] Yes [17:15] sudo passwd justin [17:15] Justin_`: you don't need sudo for that [17:15] Slart: where? [17:15] Justin_`: just passwd justin [17:15] Justin_`: just passwd should do it.. you're already root when you boot like this [17:15] oh yea cause recovery is root by default huh? [17:15] sorry im a tard [17:16] still get the error [17:16] got it thanks mre1f! [17:16] Is a new computer with windows 7 worth a $400.00 sale? [17:16] :) [17:16] friday: vlc is in your repository [17:17] where in vlc is the repeat mode [17:17] friday: in the playlist [17:17] x7m: is a car worth $50.000? depends on the car, right? [17:17] x7m: no computer with windows is worth $400 [17:17] okay thanks. [17:18] hehe [17:18] None of this is working [17:18] sorry you forgot your password Justin_` [17:18] Justin_`: what isn't working? what kind of error do you get? [17:18] Ok this is what happned [17:19] where can i open iptables? [17:19] I was installing ubuntu, it asked for a username and password (user - justin) (pass - dont remeber). I am trying to reset/set a new password for the account - justin [17:19] Emanon or slart is there another player that has repeat mode? [17:19] !iptable [17:19] friday: vlc [17:19] my OS is 8.4, How do I get the DVD player to work? [17:19] !iptables [17:19] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist [17:19] Slart: besides vlc [17:19] friday: or totem.. I suppose mplayer has it too.. it's a very common option [17:20] Justin_`: You should be able to reboot into recovery mode, and then use passwd justin [17:20] friday: vlc, totem, mplayer, dragon player [17:20] ill try rebooting, hangon [17:20] holding down shift yeah? [17:20] Justin_`: yes [17:20] friday and about 50k more [17:20] just go into synaptic and type "movie player" [17:21] find one that you like [17:21] why doesnt this work? echo "Current users on: `who -s`" [17:21] i had windows working on virtualbox earlier today and it didnt take me long to ask myself "wtf am i doing?" it's been so long without windows i forgot how ridiculous the whole experience is. Thank GNU/Linux!! :) [17:21] anyone here use irssi? [17:21] yes [17:21] happyface0: plenty of people [17:21] ymioll: Are you using this in a script? [17:21] happyface0: yes [17:21] happyface0: yeah [17:21] happyface0: there is an #irssi channel [17:21] milan90 [17:21] haha ok [17:22] warriorforgod, yea [17:22] irssi ftw [17:22] lista! [17:22] ymioll: Try asking your question in #bash [17:22] well a quick question - how do I view events (like when my nick is shown) awhile after they happen? [17:22] is there a way [17:22] pg up [17:22] ciao a tutti [17:22] Ok, I got into the boot menu but I am unable to use my keyboard to arrows down [17:22] !lista [17:22] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [17:22] sensors says "Make sure you loaded all the kernel drivers you need.", any ideas? [17:22] happyface0: try writing /lastlog [17:23] how do I find out what's using my memory? I just killed everything, and top says there's like 700mb in use (plus 200 swapped) [17:23] happyface0: in this case... /lastlog happyface would show all lines with your nick in it [17:23] guys, is there something i have to set/change in ubuntu, to be able to see my linux partitions from windows? [17:23] bahamas : Lool [17:23] thanks Slart that will be useful [17:23] anyone had luck ripping Gi_joe_rise of cobra [17:23] Justin_`: hmm.. do you have a weird keyboard of some kind ? wireless? [17:23] hello, does anyone know how i can mount a hard drive pulled from a recent ubuntu machine (it normally mounts it automatically, however I'm having problems I think because of the encryption) [17:23] Oasa: hi :) [17:23] bahamas: by default windows can't see ext filesystems [17:23] !ext3 | bahamas [17:23] bahamas: ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org [17:23] Belkin, Wired, connected via a USB [17:23] happyface0: you can type /lastlog -clear to remove the search results [17:24] isnt ext4 default on karmic? [17:24] Emanon, yes [17:24] Emanon: I think so [17:24] I can get a adapter to change it to the circle port (don't know name) [17:24] bahamas ; you can use it to write also. SO please dont use that. [17:25] Justin_`: that shouldn't be necessary... so arrow keys doesn't work.. hang on.. you're running the latest ubuntu, right? 9.10? [17:25] Justin_`: the round keyboard and mouse plugs are Ps/2 [17:25] Justin_`: The cirle port is called a PS2 port, or if it is older style it is DIN. [17:25] Yes 9.10 [17:25] Justin_`: the first line is selected, right? [17:25] Yes [17:26] Justin_`: what happens if you press 'E' [17:26] Nothing [17:26] !pm | happyface0 [17:26] happyface0: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [17:26] sensors says "No sensors found! Make sure you loaded all the kernel drivers you need." Anyone know how I get the kernel drivers I need? [17:27] Justin_`: doesn't work either? [17:27] hajmola, run "sensors-detect" [17:27] scott_ino2, I did [17:27] No. [17:27] Nothing works [17:27] Slart: to block chanserv windows telling me that I've logged in, which autocreate do I set? [17:27] happyface0: I have no idea [17:27] Myrtti: i have ext2 1.11a installed on my system, but i still can't enter my linux partitions. i get a prompt saying that the disk is not formatted [17:28] hajmola, certain types of sensors aren't supported yet, you sure you'rs is? I have this problem now where i have a newer k9n board and they haven't written drivers for them [17:29] bahamas: is the filesystem in your linux ext4 or ext3? [17:29] Slart, I connected it via a PS2 port and I can now select [17:29] scott_ino2, It worked back on Intrepid. Sensors-detect says coretemp [17:29] Ok, its booting in recovery mode [17:29] Myrtti: ext3 [17:29] Justin_`: oh.. great! I was googling and I think I found some other ways.. but nevermind [17:29] Now i have a Recovery menu. [17:29] Justin_`: you should end up at a menu with some options [17:30] Justin_`: pick the one that is marked "Drop to root shell prompt" [17:30] Done, Now I have a black line at the bottom of my screen [17:30] root@justin-desktop:~# [17:30] Justin_`: ok.. what is your username on this machine? [17:30] justin [17:31] Justin_`: then you write passwd justin [17:31] Woo, Password updated [17:31] Now just powerdown at the button? [17:31] hajmola, hmm odd, sorry i can't be of more help [17:31] Justin_`: ok.. then type reboot [17:31] or that [17:32] grr.... [17:32] compiz not working [17:33] Justin_`: apparently your keyboard might work better if you find and enable an option called "Legacy USB support" in your BIOS [17:33] scott_ino2, thanks anyways [17:33] Slart, Now that boot menu is up, (I didn't push anything) [17:33] how do i ping an ip??? [17:33] Justin_`: just select the top choice [17:34] w3l54666: ping 111.222.333.444 [17:34] Myrtti: i found my explanation: The volume has an Ext2/Ext3 file system, but the Ext2 IFS 1.11 software did not [17:34] mount it because the file system has an inode size unequal to 128 bytes (inode [17:34] size: 256 bytes). [17:34] The only way to solve it is to back up the volume's files and format the file [17:34] system: give the mkfs.ext3 utility the -I 128 switch. Finally, restore all [17:34] bahamas: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:34] backed-up files. [17:34] Slart, I will have a look at it next reboot [17:34] Slart: ok ty [17:34] Justin_`: you're welcome [17:34] hi mys usb disk is too slow and unusable there are some problems....can i run fdisk?what can i do?

I don't know of a fix [17:37] agroker, np [17:37] Thanks scott! [17:37] <3 [17:37] callum_: That normally takes fairly long (if it's the free shipit CD) [17:37] will ubuntu provide a better performance or xubuntu even [17:37] i have a pc with 860mhz cpu and 360 mb of ram. it has xp pro service pack 3 (and runs suprisingly). its a comunial pc used for people in the community to read email, write cvs etc. [17:37] Slart, yes I am copy/pasting the file name [17:37] trying to create a share between my living room comp and my room comp but now when i select Network out of the menu it shows Windows Network but then says "Unable to mount. Failed to retrieve share list from server" any ideas? [17:37] fdisk maybe [17:38] does Ubuntu use a different way to run programs than other Linux distros? [17:38] cinex: xubuntu is a little bit lighter.. so it might leave more processing power/memory to your apps [17:38] How come my Wireless internet wont connect? [17:38] Klear: nope.. is the file marked as executable? [17:38] Slart, yes, it is chmoded to 755 [17:38] cinex, I would suggest trying xubuntu, definitely not ubuntu gnome/kde, otherwise look into a different "unsupported" ubuntu based distro such as crunchbang [17:38] xubuntu is still very bloated [17:38] crunchbang works wel [17:38] i would recommend not using xubuntu or crunchbang, but using a lighter distro with a minimal cli install [17:38] am I using the right syntax? [17:39] How come my Wireless internet wont connect? [17:39] Klear: what is the first line in your script? [17:39] Ubuntu 8.04 Server: After installing postgresql (8.3), the database server will not start. No log file is created and apparently /etc/postgresql was not created on installation. I removed all postgresql* packages and reinstalled, but the problem persists. Any ideas? === cesar_ is now known as Guest34725 [17:39] scott_ino2: ill look up scrunchbag now [17:39] Slart, seems to be encoded [17:39] cinex: see my previous message [17:39] Justin_`: what wireless card is it [17:39] Justin_`: wont connect... like wont connect at all [17:39] Netgear [17:39] Klear: og.. it isn't a script? it's a binary? [17:40] It wont connect at all [17:40] blakkheim: ya, erm. [17:40] Cinex, I use it for all of the old machines I give away 633mhz or less and it runs nicely. [17:40] I am broadcasting my SSID - 'FML' [17:40] Slart, seems like it... how would I run that? [17:40] It needs to be easily used by not so smart people, the hamilton library (ontario) has linux installed, its nice but i dont know what version [17:40] evening all [17:40] I have added it into the Network connections under Wireless internet [17:40] please bear in mind that Crunchbang is not supported on this channel at all. [17:40] cinex: so you can set it up [17:40] Justin_`: one of my SSIDs is Porkchop Sandwiches [17:40] so if you end up using it, the support isn't here [17:41] Klear: hmm.. can you do a ls -l in the folder where this file is located and pastebin the results?

[17:44] cinex: if you feel comfortable with the old ncursesbased debinstaller, I'd get the mini.iso and build the os from the netinstall [17:44] cinex: if you really want to decide app by app what goes in and to gauge the speed of them [17:45] Ok, I have a Netgear wg111v2 wireless network card installed in my desktop [17:45] But i am unable to get it to work :S [17:45] cinex since you can setup linux in your sleep maybe you can help me out? [17:45] Myrtti: I have the problem of them being to impatiant for me to exeriment on their machine. which is Why I thought ubuntu would be good. its done in like 1 hour [17:45] Justin_`: the make and model is fairly moot. Run: sudo lshw -C network [17:46] Ok actionparsnip [17:46] Justin_`: you will see the chip it uses. Netgear don't make chips so knowing your brand gets you nothing [17:47] Justin_`: read the product line and use it in websearches to find guides [17:47] actionparsnip, What did you need to know about that 'sudo lshw -C network'?

[17:50] Why is the package 'eagle' in the repositories not the latest version [17:50] Justin_`: the line will say realtek then, websearch for that [17:50] How i can provide IP addresses in dotted decimal or host/network names ?

[18:36] i want to get in downloads [18:36] lavin: what do you actually want to do ? [18:36] lavin: 'cd somedirectory' to go to somedirectory. 'ls' and 'ls -l' to list files. ('ls -a' and 'ls -la' show hidden ones too.) [18:36] thx [18:36] theadmin: the reason I ask is because the current ubuntu version on my laptop tents to make my cpu fan go grazy. so in your opinion xubuntu is better to avoid heavy cpu usage? [18:36] actionparsnip: Okey! It is a NTFS drive.. [18:36] paulus68: Yeah, Xubuntu is lighter [18:37] Any difference between "ls" and "dir" at all? [18:37] Lavin: use 'cd' to enter a directory. And 'cd ..' to move up a directory [18:37] theadmin, ls shows executables in colour and dir simply list folders [18:38] files * [18:38] Lavin: then type cd $HOME/Downloads [18:38] Welshy-Rob: dir supports colours t oo. [18:38] theadmin: and 'dir' is 1 letter longer than 'ls' [18:38] :) [18:38] Phox_: doesn't matter. And its an ntfs partition [18:38] actionparsnip: What's that "$HOME"? Isn't it "~"? [18:38] theadmin: 'dir' is equivalent to 'ls -Cb' [18:38] Theadmin: same thing [18:38] the link to trash doesnt work like actually dragging something to trash, and yes, im a 3 day old convert to linux from windows :P [18:38] yah ~ is home directory [18:39] can i network my pc to my wireless laptop to have total laptop control from the pc? [18:39] Theadmin: this keyboard doesn't have a tilde key [18:39] theadmin: Almost all the time, the shell expands both ~ and $HOME to the same home directory. [18:39] i try that and it says no file or directory i go and try again [18:39] meh, im just gonna get used to where the trash is on the title bar [18:39] (The differences are that $HOME is a shell variable, changeable, and value of ~ is taken from /etc/passwd, same for ~anyuser) [18:39] actionparsnip: will this work after i reboot or directly? [18:39] Mlhoss: sure, just enable the sharing of the desktop. Most apps have webuis now which are much sleeker [18:40] right click... move to trash... in kubuntu, anyway [18:40] mlhoss: Same in Ubuntu. [18:40] Tatsuya6400: Don't worry about the "Windows flashback" thing. You're going to get hazed from both camps from time to time. Water off a duck's back. You can use UbuntuTweak to show desktop icons for Trash, Documents, and even a "My Computer" type icon that launches nautilus. [18:40] Phox_: you can unmount it then run: sudo mount -a [18:40] actionparsnip: i type cd /home that works [18:40] actionparsnip: cd /Downloads from there no such F/D [18:40] Lavin: yes now you need to cd to your username where the downloads folder is, use tab to autocomplete [18:41] im having trouble syncing 3rd generation ipod nano's, is there anything i can do? [18:41] lavin: First, $HOME is not /home. It is /home/lavin. (Assuming your Ubuntu username is 'lavin'.) [18:41] Lavin: cd /home/$USER/Downloads [18:41] !case [18:41] !ipod | Tatsuya6400 [18:41] Tatsuya6400: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [18:42] !RockBox [18:42] rockbox is an open source firmware replacement for audio players from Archos, iRiver, Apple (iPod), and iAudio. See http://www.rockbox.org/ to get started! [18:42] lavin: from /home, you have to cd Downloads . if you put in the leading /, it'll start from top again [18:42] actionparsnip: didnt work, got an error. Bad line. Here is what i wrote in fstab: "mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /home/johan/Desktop/NTFS -o uid=johan,gid=users,umask=0000" [18:42] actionparsnip: i got it thanks now if i want to get into a file i go cd / file name? [18:42] !case [18:42] File names in Ubuntu are case sensitive, MyFile is not the same as myfile, and if you put spaces in there and use a console you need to "escape" the space, thus "gedit My\ File.txt" [18:42] hay i had tryd to instal Ubuntu and XUbuntu but i have Error 5 In/ex-put [18:43] Phox_: you need to rearrange the command to fit fstab, look at the other lines and online guides [18:43] thanks... and sorry about the "flashback" thing. I have two drives, one with windows and one with linux. seldom do i use the windows anymore. [18:43] Lavin: without the / yes. E.g. cd foldername [18:43] hey, does anybody know how to make epiphany stop remembering my google talk password? I've gone into accounts and deleted it, but when i go back it's there again. i don't see any 'remember password' checkbox or antyhing....

[18:48] theadmin: ok, that worked. but now the account in empathy just doesn't work...just says "network error" and prompts me to edit the account and put the password back in. used to be (with pidgin) it would just ask for the password when i opened it, which is what i want [18:48] lavin, i was the same , but you pick it up quickly , its much easier to learn than windows in my opinion and there is a great community xD [18:48] Sometimes after I log in, my desktop is all orange and is unclickable, has no icons too. What can be the problem? [18:48] same here [18:49] its clickable [18:49] but no icons [18:49] only the taskbar [18:49] haseebh2O: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[18:49] i cant [18:49] no icons Welshy-Rob [18:49] yes pidgin is the best [18:49] im new to this Welshy-Rob ,sorry :( [18:49] pidgin rocks :D [18:49] theadmin: so if pidgin is better why did ubuntu switch to empathy? [18:50] i have all my messnagers on it [18:50] yaar : to support video [18:50] I know 2.6.4 have video [18:50] Welshy-Rob: i have just managed to open firefox somehow inorder to come to irc and fix the problem [18:50] haseebh2O, no worries [18:50] yaaar: Empathy is based on telepathy backend, it's quite awesome. But empathy GUI is just... bleh [18:50] but when karmic was created it dint have video support [18:50] So i guess that rules out pidgin as the best then [18:50] maybe you just got used to pidgin [18:50] haseebh2O, are you admin? [18:50] Welshy-Rob: graphics card 9600m GT i update to my knowledge 185.xx [18:50] Welshy-Rob: yes [18:51] alright :D fixed one of my problems [18:51] haseebh2O, have you enabled any "hardware drivers"?

[19:31] wash, well you can just view the previous page for now [19:31] llutz : I dont have a documentation and there is no documentation [19:31] llutz : I installed vpnc [19:31] llutz : its asking me IPsec gateway. Whats it? [19:31] Ah, no worries Rob :) B.t.w, I am applying for a new job, they want me to configure and run digital pabx's like asterix ... would it better to get the asterix destro for that, or would it be better to grab ubuntu and load asterix on it? [19:31] Just an opinion poll of sorts :P [19:31] Under which package do I submit CD/DVD drive issues? [19:31] Well, shouldn't I change it back? [19:32] kernel? [19:32] saraqual, you better get ubuntu server and tons of ram [19:32] nathan7: That was my first thought, but I don't want to bother those guys if there is a specific owner. [19:33] Yeah? Shyte... I thought I could build a test rig at home, but the dammed hardware here is expensive, so I might have to hold up on that one [19:34] Also, anyone know where I can find a decent guide for setting up and using an svn repository? [19:34] wash: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/ is a pretty decent guide [19:35] !svn | wash [19:35] wash: svn is Subversion: an open-source revision control system, which aims to be a compelling replacement for CVS. See http://subversion.tigris.org/ [19:35] *nods* === Ovidiu is now known as _Ovidiu [19:37] * _Ovidiu is away: Gone away for now [19:38] Any other suggested software that goes with SVN? e.g. remote-access GUI?

[19:39] wash: Have you looked at Tortoise? [19:39] Not heard of it, will have to take a look [19:39] hi gentlemen [19:39] Cheers cheers guys === toto is now known as Guest86127 [19:39] i am wondering ohw can i see my network with ubuntu [19:40] Guest86127, define "see your network" [19:40] i have a gentoo box. both ubuntu and gentoo are connected to my AP (wifi) [19:40] i am following some dependencies for a project i'm building from souce and i keep running into lib not found. libSM not found. libxrandr not found.. etc. Is there a way, on a normal system, to find meta-packages that *provide* a single one of these libraries, and thus potentially locate a one-liner apt-get i can use to try and get everything i need? === Trek is now known as TrekCapt [19:40] hey guys, anyone here has ubuntu running on lenovos latest t410? [19:40] Trek: i d like to be able to see the other coputer and drag and drop files, or connect through them with an export display, etc [19:41] Guest82857, the non-traditional way is to browse the network share with Nautilus (which will mount it as readable only to Nautilus or Nautlis-aware applications). [19:41] anything graphical to copy and paste files, etc. The other problem i have is when i try to set my DLNA certified TV: not able to see my omputers [19:41] i've tried apt-cache rdepends.. but that doesn't do it. [19:41] That was meant for Guest86127. [19:41] Guest86127, sorry, had to switch off of the web-FTP-access [19:42] Trek fromWinToLin it s ok [19:42] Guest86127, you can easily achieve FTP with SFTP/SSH [19:42] Guest86127, you can easily achieve Fdrag-and-drop with SFTP/SSH* [19:42] Guest86127, open up Nautilus (the file browser for GNOME), and then type in something like this: smb://192.168.2.5/myshare [19:42] fromWinToLin, err, that's not entirely true. What nautilus accesses can be found in ~/.gvfs/ for non-file-url aware applications [19:43] Guest86127, of course, replace the IP address with the actual computer's IP address, and replace "myshare" with the actual share name. [19:43] Seveas, did not know that. That can come in handy, definitely. [19:44] my software downloads are very slow and i have a great connection. wats the problem here? [19:44] Seveas, but for shares I need available 24/7, I just mount them with autofs somewhere in /mnt/. [19:44] fromWinToLin, and nautilus can be taught to pass the names in ~/.gvfs when opening such applications :) [19:44] when i use the Shortcuts to mount an NTFS, which command is use ? Thanks :) [19:44] well ok then so i don t know which is the IP of the other box [19:44] Hello, world [19:44] male_renamon, maybe the server is busy :) [19:45] Guest86127, on the other box, type: ifconfig [19:45] Guest82857, this should show you the IP address for the active network adapter. [19:45] hmm maybe im trying to get frets on fire [19:45] hi all. looking for advice on how to add another hdd to my setup. have managed to format the disk which shows up when i do fdisk -l as sdb1. but when i try to mount using "sudo mount /dev/sdb1" i get "can't find /dev/sdb1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab" can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong please? [19:46] Dear channel .. does anybody in here successfully operates an USB Hub at 2.0 speed with Linux? [19:46] are there any known problems with that programs? [19:46] jeffjeffdejeff, not enough arguments. You need to specify where you want to mount it (location in the file system tree.) For example: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/newhdd [19:47] jeffjeffdejeff, it's recommended you create an empty directory where you want to mount it to. [19:47] fromWinToLin: i am on it thanks [19:47] are there any known problems with the program frets on fire? [19:47] hello all [19:47] fromWintoLin: not sure i understand you fully. sorry, relevant novice as you may have guessed. [19:48] Hello, I have an EeePC 1101HA. The keys for LCD brightness are not working. Brightness adjustment via gnome applet works. Is there an easy way to add it via System->Preferences->Keyboard? [19:48] jeffjeffdejeff, after that, you can access the new drive under /mnt/newhdd (and even create shortcuts to it, etc.) If you want this to be done on boot up, add an entry in /etc/fstab [19:48] fromWinToLin: ok so i can ping my other box [19:48] Okay, wtf. [19:48] My USB Hub disconnects after some time with heavy load, leaving "Cannot enable port 2. Maybe the USB cable is bad?" in the dmesg log. I googled for hours, there's more than 500.000 hits and there's a almost three years old bug filed for Ubuntu aswell. I can't believe it's such a mess to use USB2.0 with Linux. [19:48] I have to reactivate the CUPS server to get the active printer at every boot. with the command sudo etc / init.d / cups restart. there 'way to make permanent the start the start the CUPS server? [19:48] Hi! I have problems with connecting to a hidden WLAN with WPA2 encryption from a ASUS EEE901. I have broadcast ssid disabled and when I add the hidden wlan, it can't be found, hence not connected to. If I remember right, this eee has a Racom 2860 network card [19:48] jeffjeffdejeff, create a new directory somewhere. Preferreably within the /mnt/ directory. Example: sudo mkdir /mnt/newhdd [19:48] Guest86127, have you considered using VNC or something to get connectivity between the two computers? [19:48] Ony "solution" I found was: remove ehci module, downgrade to USB 1.1 ... [19:48] AndyB: some USB controllers are crap [19:49] hi all. ubuntu 9.10 amd64 here. I have java runtime installed, but java applets don't work in chrome or firefox. can anyone help me? [19:49] jeffjeffdejeff, then mount the newly formatted partition in that location: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/newhdd [19:49] Trek, i haven t. i d like to see the other computer, in anyway. [19:49] KaiForce: I've read that a hundred times today. But: Windows works fine. Actually, I have tried 3 HUBs already. Can't believe they are all crap. [19:49] i can SFTP from one to another, but port 22 refused the connection [19:49] A) How do I get more virtual desktops in gnome? [19:49] is that going to be really hard° [19:49] ? [19:49] Guest86127, you need to open port 22 then through the firewall [19:49] jeffjeffdejeff, and to access the drive, nagivate to /mnt/newdhh (or even create a shortcut to it for more convenience.) [19:49] *navigate [19:49] AndyB: what controllers are they? [19:49] Even if they are crap, why do they work with Windows, and they don't work with Linux [19:49] Sargun: err via preferences [19:49] *newhdd [19:50] Guest86127, I don't like setting up VNC, so I just SSH into my computers; [19:50] i don t mind the way it could be done, really. i just want the easiest way. [19:50] sargun right click and select preferences then chan # of rows/columns [19:50] Trek: ok so i have to open port. A GUI in ubuntu? [19:50] Sargun: right click the workspace pager and change it [19:50] CAPcap, acicula thank [19:50] sargun no problem [19:50] KaiForce: My Desktop PC is a Gigabyte 78GPM DS2H with SB700, USB-hubs are D-Link, Delock, Trust, some other .. [19:50] B) Network manager doesn't support vlans, yet my ethernet interface is trunked. I can't use stuff like empathy unless NM says the connection is up. Any ideas? [19:50] Guest86127, Firestarter or gufw will do the trick, and auto-config your iptables which will open the port [19:50] I have the same USB trouble with my SheevaPlug [19:50] Guest86127, wait, thats ubuntu [19:51] can anyone here help my with setting my remote up [19:51] jeffjeffdejeff, take a look at the file /etc/fstab (this file contains a list of mounts to be mounted upon booting up the system, automatically.) You can edit it with root privileges (example sudo gedit /etc/fstab) and add your own custom entries, such as this one you just made. [19:51] nm doesnt support vlans? [19:51] fromwintolin: oooh you're good [19:51] Guest86127, you'll have to configure the firewall on the other box to accept on port 22 [19:51] thats all [19:51] i'm of [19:51] acura: i havent had problems with vlans and ubuntu, can you rephrase your problem? [19:51] fromwintolin: ok, what would i need to put in fstab to now make it mounted at boot? [19:51] I have a saitek p880 dual analog usb controller. i cant find anything but windows drivers. any suggestions? [19:51] s/acura/ Sargun [19:51] gksudo gedit /etc/fstab would be better [19:52] jeffjeffdejeff, here's a good article on it: http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html [19:52] Anyone have dhcpd working with ipv6? [19:52] Wanderer: its on by default [19:52] jeffjeffdejeff, I can give you a basic example, but change it to your liking. [19:52] I have to reactivate the CUPS server to get the active printer at every boot. with the command sudo etc / init.d / cups restart. there 'way to make permanent the start the start the CUPS server? [19:52] Wanderer: or is this about assigning ips? [19:52] acicula: I'm trying to figure out how to get my dhcpd to hand out ipv6 IP's [19:52] ola [19:52] e [19:52] 3fcvr [19:52] vfr [19:52] (I have a tunnel etc and a number of staticly assigned devices) [19:52] vgbf [19:52] bg [19:52] sergio: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:52] So, I have a Macbook 5-1 running Karmic. Is there any way to install rEFIt without Mac OS X? I've got no Mac OS X install disk. [19:53] fromWinToLin: Isn't he better to use sudo -e such as not to give his editor root privileges? === andy is now known as Guest61916 [19:53] ola [19:53] ola [19:53] jeffjeffdejeff, here is an example of a line you can add: /dev/sdb1 /mnt/newhdd ext3 defaults 0 0 [19:53] ola [19:53] I have a saitek p880 dual analog usb gamepad. i cant find anything but windows drivers. any suggestions? [19:53] Flamey, just trying to keep it simple for the time being, plus I have to run now! [19:53] ñ,,kkkk [19:53] fromwintolin: that's great so far, thanks. possible silly question, but when it's mounted, i take it all folders/subdirectories within that point are accessible? do i need a uuid to put in fstab? [19:53] guys so no one of you see his other boxes out of the box? [19:54] jeffjeffdejeff, it's better if you use the uuid or partition ID instead of the dynamic link. Example: Use /dev/disk/by-id/blahblahlbah-part1 instead of /dev/sdb1 === andy is now known as Guest29475 [19:55] jeffjeffdejeff, yes, when you mount it, it gives you access to the entire file system (ext2, ext 3, ext4, whatever) that you created earlier. It's like plugging in a USB drive and having access to everything within the USB drive. [19:55] I have a saitek p880 dual analog usb gamepad. i cant find anything but windows drivers. any suggestions? [19:56] jeffjeffdejeff, I have to run, seriously! I might be late. Hopefully others here (and I'm sure) will be able to help you more. [19:56] Is there anything in the repos for an admin to initiate a remote desktop connection to a user that may or may not be behind a firewall? [19:56] fromwintolin - sorry - didnt realise you needed to dash. thanks ever so much! [19:56] i just got a new harddrive, i want it to mount up at boot but i want regular users (or at least one reguser) to have full +rwx permissions...would the options auto,user in fstab be sufficient? cuz auto by itself doesnt include +x but auto seems to be necesary for boot mounting [19:57] I have a saitek p880 dual analog usb gamepad. i cant find anything but windows drivers. any suggestions? [19:58] ok i solved it! [19:58] i ran ssh daemon on the other box. and voila. a SFTP and bingooo [19:58] Hi - i just installed ubuntu on my usb stick using the live cd, but now when I try to boot my notebook without the usb stick plugged in, it comes up with the grub loader and can't boot back into windows. any solutions? [19:59] i changed ownership of a folder to another user and group, now i can't get back into the folder in terminal... how do i view and edit files in that folder? [19:59] acicula, How do I do vlans via method of network manager? [19:59] anybody else heard of problems with ubuntu 9.10 acting funny after waking up, or not waking up at all (after it goes into suspend mode) [19:59] I have to reactivate the CUPS server to get the active printer at every boot. with the command sudo etc / init.d / cups restart. there 'way to make permanent the start the start the CUPS server? [19:59] Jexmex, yah [19:59] I have the same issues [19:59] jeffjeffdejeff: sorry, just looked into the channel; if you want write access to the partitions you're automounting I think you need "user,defaults" (no spaces) instead of just defaults [19:59] But it's probably cause efi hates me on my end [20:00] Sargun: if your machine is part of one vlan then the ip and netmask should be set to what is required of that vlan [20:00] how come my external harddrive suddenly got named "4947-234F"? Is there a way I can change that? [20:00] GrandPixel: sudo chmod o+rx folder ..that will allow everyone not in the group or owner to get into that directory [20:00] ok thanks bastid_raZor [20:00] I installed it on two older computers we are going to use for data entry, the laptop acts funny after it wakes up (the mouse acts like the computer is lagging bad and trying to lock up), the other one will not wake up, its in a comma, lol [20:00] Sargun: #networking might be a better channel for that type of question.. [20:00] I am having a problem upgrading an old machine that was on gutsy gibbon. I ran "sudo do-release-upgrade" it upgraded to hardy heron fine. I tried running that command after the upgrade and now it does not find a new version. I want to get to karmic-koala. [20:01] GrandPixel: you'll also need to add w if you're wanting to be able to write to it.. but that defeats the purpose of changing owner/group. [20:01] dskippy, best idea is to do a clean install [20:01] I tried to copy a karmic koala sources.list and run apt-get dist-upgrade but that gives lots of errors.

[20:03] GrandPixel: no. [20:03] Guest86127: install openssh-server on both boxes === aka_sivel is now known as sivel [20:03] GrandPixel: yes and no, the owner is the user that owns the file, but in the permission he is called "user" :) [20:04] bastid_raZor: one of the boxes is ok. i just need to run the ssh daemon every boot [20:04] onthe other box [20:04] how can i start this on ubuntu?

Has anyone ever tried booting an image. I found how it's done in windows so it's only logical that one should be able to do it in linux as well. [21:14] darkmaster977: wrong window? :) [21:14] Ziber: as root, on the last line of sitecustomize.py, remove all of the leading spaces, except four [21:14] grubnoob, yeah there is your problem, no input devices listed [21:14] if you're going to remove spaces, you need to remove them all [21:15] pfifo: How do I fix that?

[21:16] Who can explain me the installation of system32 in Ubuntu ? [21:17] Ziber: did you read trism's point?

I wanted to have a second persistent workspace accessible remotely (guessing VNC) [21:19] grubnoob, you may need to modify some of the options to suit your setup [21:20] question: anyone know why (or the solution) for my screen locking up after using the wrong password on the first attempt of unlocking my computer, and the correct password on the second or later attempts? [21:20] Zeek_: vnc is a good solution [21:20] jonaskoelker: removing all the leading spaces fixed it. thanks :) [21:20] stronze: address the whole channel, not just me; I'm a bit busy. Also, I'd love to help, but I'm no sound expert nor a skype expert. [21:20] my only solutions so far are Ctrl + Alt + Backspace, or sleep/wake [21:20] Ziber: yw :) [21:20] Ziber: now, your sitecustomize.py was different from mine. Which ubuntu are you running? Karmic? [21:20] resno: like vncserver? I was not sure if it would get mad with whatever Remote Desktop uses... [21:20] Ziber: I'm thinking it might be a bug [21:20] jonaskoelker: 9.04 [21:20] jonaskolke roger [21:21] Zeek_: i use tightvnc. but i dont think it would have any issues. [21:21] ubuntu 9.04 server, at that [21:21] jonaskoelke - sorry tired and grumpy.gotta stay up to get good connection [21:21] resno: cool, I will give that a shot. [21:21] Is there anyway to see if I have functional drivers on a hardware that is listed in "sudo lshw"? [21:21] pfifo: There is no ServerLayout section in my xorg.conf file.

[21:22] stronze: no harm no foul :) === andy is now known as Guest10038 [21:22] phong_: depends on your intended use [21:22] grubnoob, try running xorg-config that may be easier for you [21:22] why does jaunty now do the windows thing and popup an update manager dialog box everytime I'm logged in? That's irritating as hell! Can we go back to the notification bar method and not the intrusive method please? [21:22] phong_: Highly recommended if you are new to Linux. [21:22] brontosaurusrex: no, its for rdp (like windows terminal server) [21:22] can anyone give me some help with ssh? [21:22] okay [21:23] Guest10038: whats the issue? [21:23] Ziber: consider extracting the sitecustomize.py from the package. If it looks like the one you had before editing, file a bug [21:23] alright, so what do I use to run install.sh? [21:23] jonaskoelker: alright [21:23] pfifo: I'm currently running from Live CD.

[21:25] So there's no way to see if the driver is in use? Or if there's a driver IN USE? terminal [21:25] Guest10038: #ssh ? [21:25] pfifo: My question had more to do with the need to specify the path of a filename so that it would edit the file on my hard drive.

For that i have to restore my whole hard drive. How would i do this the best without losing Ubuntu? [22:58] i want to execute sudo dpkg-buildpackage -uc -b but i can't i have always errors [22:59] Krambiorix: sorry man you're gonna have to reinstall ubuntu [22:59] Krambiorix: i've tried a few times to install windows after ubuntu and it's never worked [22:59] damn [22:59] Krambiorix: you can install windows fine [22:59] Krambiorix: you can't restore your full hard drive though [22:59] I have googled this and found no answer. Im running ubuntu 9.1.0 64 bit . on boot nothing happens bit blinking cursor. in "recovery" mode the boot stops at "loading favorite drivers and then stops.. I have had install for a month np and kept it updated. is there a way to repair without re-install.? thanks [22:59] Krambiorix: if it's an install - you can do that fine though [23:00] can someone help me with my sound? it was working fine last night and now i can't hear squat [23:00] hi, im considering to setup a proxy server using squid with dansguardian web content filtering..i have seen many great howto's but does this setup require 2 NICs? [23:00] ikonia, i just have a restore and recovery cd from Lenovo that restores Vista but it doesn't work. I can just format the hard disk [23:01] Krambiorix: if it's a restore CD it will wipe your whole hard disk, so ubuntu will be lost [23:01] yes === johntram1 is now known as johntramp [23:02] hmm wouldn't there be another way [23:02] ? === Flare183_ is now known as Flare183 [23:02] in Google Earth (installed from Medbuntu) the app loads fine, except the Earth isnt shown [23:02] any ideas? [23:02] i don't have space to backup my ubuntu [23:02] Krambiorix: no [23:03] oi [23:03] irc [23:03] Krambiorix: backup your personal files and reinstall [23:03] bye [23:03] i have more than 20 GB of files in Ubuntu [23:04] buy an external? [23:04] or borrow [23:04] How do i change my login screen [23:04] Krambiorix, do you have an external HDD at all? You could use imaging program like Clonezilla to create a back up. I don't know that the vista restore cd would totally wipe your drive, you should still be able to customize your install and tell it what partition to install to..... though i guess we are talking about M$ here. [23:04] Krambiorix: or burn 6 DVDs [23:05] Alexandra: no i am using sb live 1024 [23:05] hmm how can i see in ubuntu how much GB is on that partition? [23:05] on this ubuntu partition [23:05] Krambiorix: df -h [23:06] Can anyone help me i am having problems changing my login window. [23:06] damn, its 50 GB (ubuntu) [23:06] Krambiorix: are you talking about the whole ubuntu partition or just your documents folder? [23:06] ubuntu [23:07] my documents will be 20-30GB [23:07] when I run 2 monitors as seprate x screens it make gnome-panel crash, dose anyone know of a fix for this? [23:07] i have some vmware images on it too [23:07] Krambiorix, dont forget you can free up 5% of an ext filesystem with tune2fs -m0 (default when making new ext fs is to reserve 5%) [23:07] ok i just figured out that my sound hardware is not being detected anymore. does anyone know how i can fix this? [23:07] xinerama and twinview work, but that is ugly and programs always open in weird locations [23:08] hmm thx duffydack but that's not enough [23:08] Krambiorix: There is a convenient Disk Usage Analyzer in the accessories menu, if you want to see where the largest chunk of files are. [23:08] itamarjp: did you install phpmyadmin [23:08] I have googled this and found no answer. Im running ubuntu 9.1.0 64 bit . on boot nothing happens bit blinking cursor. in "recovery" mode the boot stops at "loading favorite drivers and then stops..

No one in the official channel is answering. I have a mouse problem.

[23:31] Doopoo_: You are contributing to said text ;| "dpkg -L packagename" will tell you all the files associated with a package, however not the config files in your home directory or other things that are created after the install itself.

[23:51] jackhigh: i would try to rename /etc/X11/xorg.conf and restart X - this way you get a dynamic configuration [23:51] I was like that when I first used linux... [23:51] well actually [23:51] Shazbutts: logical partitions is just if you want more than 4 partitions [23:51] Shazbutts, and after i umount, do i just pull out the RAID harddisks no problem? [23:52] g0tcha, I would turn off the computer before you tear out a drive... [23:52] LobsterJohnson: have you tried uninstalling the nvidia driver? [23:52] Shazbutts: as long as you got flash drives to back up the important stuff, re-installs are nothing :) [23:52] jackhigh: but its possible that X wont come up so you need then to reverse it to the original name in the console [23:52] jiohdi, I use my flash drive to install :o [23:52] also danbhfive thanks [23:52] @danbhfive: haha nope, I don't know how. I [23:52] Shazbutts, yeah ofcourse.. i mean after turning it off.. so i dont have to do anything to "reverse" this mdadm -Cv /dev/md4 -l0 -n2 -c64 /dev/sdb4 /dev/sdc4 ?

Good times, jumping into this is fun lol [23:54] me burn harddisk [23:54] aq [23:54] hey everyone [23:55] LobsterJohnson: after a few times you lose the fear of the re-install :) I have installed about 5 different linux versions :) [23:55] @jiohdi: Should I reinstall, then try to reinstall the same drivers? [23:56] LobsterJohnson: and cross your fingers :) [23:56] daftykins: 20.8 gb and an hour, finally finished, do i need to do anything special to close the connection or can i just close nautilus [23:56] Haha [23:56] sagaci: just close nautilus ja and shutdown cleanly [23:56] jackhigh: for creating a new xorg.conf see this link: http://hubpages.com/hub/How-to-configure-Xorg-in-Ubuntu [23:57] ezfox: thanks [23:57] daftykins: ok, bye [23:57] I'm sure I missed something, stayed up too late dinking around. When the glaring power light kept me up at night, I just ended up shutting off the compute and coming home with no memory of the last thing I did.

If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show.

[23:59] ezfox: it does nothing on mine either [23:59] Ok, well I'll have to feel it out then, I got a couple of distro's at my disposal.
