[00:14] 9.10 === FeiRuoWa is now known as zz_FeiRuoWa [00:15] Lostinspace_46: you're welcome. good luck :-) [00:16] hello i have installed mac4lin theme, and it changed the ubuntu notification too to the older uglier one [00:16] hdtdi: It should be in the repos [00:16] how can i revert to the new notificaiton look? [00:16] hdtdi: mysql-server should be what you need [00:16] if i choose the standard ubuntu theme it doesnt come back [00:17] magnus, the easiest way to find out what is causing the black screen is by installing the driver then look around on your system for information that might explain what is causing it, if you still have trouble you can just edit xorg.conf (if that still exists) and swith the driva back to vesa, i was hoping someone who has more of a idea then me would offer to help you though (anyone?), maybe its a issue with your monitor [00:17] being picked up wrongly, there are a lot of guides on the net for configuring fglrx, though i would have thought you should get decent all round/3d peformance with the open 'radeon' driver with a 4800 card [00:17] redache - apt-get install mysql-server is installing mysql-server-5.1 and i have the error msg :) [00:17] actually i think its the 'radeonhd' driver for those cards [00:18] anyone? [00:18] CraigGB: dont think its my monitor cuz i have two monitors up runing with clone [00:18] Hi guys. My laptop temperature is going crazy. :S I mean just one part of laptop. I have Toshiba 350-12A and there is really hot near touchpad and "space key". I hear fans etc. Rest of laptop is "cold". Any suggestions? [00:18] any idea why print screen button doesn't work at all on my lappy? [00:18] can't use sysrq at all :( [00:18] szymon_: look for processes which are the highest [00:18] cpu users [00:19] You may need to use the special fn key in combo with it - depending on the laptop layout hax0r1 [00:20] how can i get back ubuntu notification theme? [00:20] magnus, have you tried disconnecting one monitor while installing the driver and then rebooting and seeing if that works before connecting the second monitor? [00:20] Dr_Willis: hmm, prt sc is not one of my fn keys.... [00:20] hi guys i want to create a nas with a old laptop and ubuntu. Any advice? [00:20] CPU is 1%, highest is Xorg and Compiz. [00:20] hi all [00:20] :disconnect [00:20] szymon_, i'd recommend getting htop to view your processes you can list in order of cpu usage etc [00:20] CraigGB: im sure thats not causing the problem [00:20] TommyNavara: setting up a samba server is rather straight forward. once you learn the samba basics.. [00:20] does anyone know how to change the default size of a terminal? [00:21] szymon_, what part of the laptop is it ? [00:21] anyone here w/ experience w/ OpenQRM? [00:21] renfox: If you mean for like gnome-terminal - one way to do it is to use compiz feature to set initial window properties. [00:21] where can i find linux-headers? [00:21] renfox: its also possible gnome-termional takes command line options to set its size [00:21] now i just want to get this over with so i can install cod again and play [00:21] ** ERROR **: Couldn't create /home/jail/./home/code/.irssi directory [00:22] I'm not sure, probably graphic card? As I've said its between space key and touchpad, i really feel heat when navigating on touchpad. [00:22] how come irssi is trying to make stuff in the aboslute path instead of the jailed path? i copied irssi and it's dependencies from my system but for some reason it's trying to create the configuration files in a directory the user cannot see [00:22] Dr_Willis: i have issues with compiz and the nvidia drivers (i need dual screens) - is there a .config file that I can alter? [00:23] szymon_, could it be the battery ? that's the only other thing i can think of [00:23] TommyNavara: try ebox [00:23] renfox: i use compiz and dual monitors right here on my 8800gtsxxx using twinview. - works very well. There might be some gnome-terminal command line options to set the initial size. see 'gnome-terminal --help' for starters [00:23] Dr_Willis: is difficult? i need any special device? i have the laptotp and 2-3 external usb hdd 3,5.. [00:23] I just updated ubuntu and now Lightthpd loads when someone goes to my DOMAINS port 80 instead of apache. Please help??? [00:23] magnus, okay, i have seen a problem like yours when a friend had their tv and monitor connected at the same time and it decided it was going to use some totally stupid resolution, yours might not be a resolution issue though, maybe its worth trying to run aticonfig on a xorg.conf and then manually editing it untill you have something that looks set up correctly [00:23] hello I'm getting redirected to my ISP's "domain not found" search-results, when I do google searches, or really any major site (its comppletely at random, and very frustrating) [00:23] Dr_Willis: thanks for the tip1 [00:23] ! [00:23] TommyNavara: set the usb devices to mount via fstab. learn some samba or nfs basics.. not too hard [00:23] szymon_: try to disable compiz [00:23] does anyone konw where I can start looking for a solution? this is my thread I started http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8703269&posted=1#post8703269 === Beastmode is now known as Dasda [00:24] jonzbcc, have you just updated your system?

[00:26] anyone here w/ experience w/ Eucalyptus? [00:26] jonzbcc, because ive found in the past that random errors like that are offen solved by updating and re-starting , else you can re-install firefox somehow or get a different web browser ? [00:26] oh, nvm -- actually I just ran it again and now there's updates (there weren't a couple days ago -- i've checked a few times) [00:26] jonzbcc you may have an option to opt-out from your ISP to redirect you to that page [00:26] mlistus, I had a tree one in my backyard [00:26] InAfterTree [00:26] szymon_: try to use metacity instead [00:26] shazbotmcnasty: lol [00:27] shazbotmcnasty: that's why i'm on karmic koala... :) === sk319 is now known as sk_leb [00:27] is there a forum for ubuntu server [00:27] ?

[00:27] I updated my ubuntu distro and now i get the lightthpd landing page when u hit a website on my machine at port 80. I want apache... [00:27] Disabling visual effects and... i think it's getting colder... or maybe it's just my imagination, hm. [00:28] mlistus: #ubuntu-server and you can use the same forums as for Ubuntu.

[00:29] hello welshy [00:29] TommyNavara: so i figured you'd want to set up users maybe, included in ebox [00:29] TommyNavara: ebox is a config/admin tool.. samba does the 'windows shares' work [00:29] TommyNavara: i never use ebox. [00:30] my internet problem sucks, irssi ( irc app ) works but firefox wont load any pages whatsup with that :S ? [00:30] why doc?? [00:30] TommyNavara: why should i use it? i dont need it.

[00:32] skullcandy: can you do a 'ping google.com' does it work? [00:32] hold on [00:32] if anyone else has a suggestion, I'm desparate -- I don't have a clue what to try to resolve the DNS issues or the fiesty SSH stream [00:32] yup ping.google.com [00:32] skullcandy, I generally restart my router when getting that, leaving it off for a minute or two before restarting [00:32] it works [00:32] skullcandy: if that fails try 'ping 74.125.95.147' [00:32] magnus, sorry, now everythings automated its so much harder to sort something out if something isn't automatically set up correctly, im not sure how display/graphics are handled now theres no need for the old way of configs, someone else might know [00:33] skullcandy: tahts very weird. so you enter 'google.com' in the browser and it dosent work? [00:33] well if the ping works its not dns [00:33] jonzbcc, you could re-install ubuntu ? [00:33] so restart my router, and if that doesn't work i come back here then [00:33] mlistus: what do you exactly mean of "changing"?

[00:35] TommyNavara: you may have to update /etc/fstab to mount those drives before using them [00:35] mlistus: well i think i will change the divice, but not often....2-3 months....?? any problem? [00:36] Yeah, it [00:36] 'devices [00:36] CraigGB: yeah just hope that will be befour i loose my hope in geting this to woork [00:36] TommyNavara: good english! :) [00:36] TommyNavara: for a server shareing exteranal drvices. you will want to mount them via the fstab. [00:36] mlistus: thx bro [00:36] thx doc [00:37] Welshy-Rob: yeah it'd be a shame if I have to give my girlfriend back a laptop with Win7 -- at least if its a linux machine, I can take care of her tech-issues. [00:37] Welshy-Rob: Windows 7 is *not* my idea [00:37] TommyNavara: the thing is, once you set /etc/fstab, when you change the drive, it must correspond to some entry in that file, otherwise it won't mount [00:37] jonzbcc, I think it may be something to do with your isp ? not sure what but yeah [00:37] mlistus i don't think this is a problem [00:37] TommyNavara: and you'll need to change manually /etc/fstab again [00:38] TommyNavara: good [00:38] TommyNavara: then let's start [00:38] TommyNavara: did you set up fstab? [00:38] jonzbcc, how are you connected now ? [00:38] mlistus the real problem is to get used with this [00:38] TommyNavara: this?

[00:41] jonzbcc, it could be either a o/s error or say your network card is malfunctioning, have you tried using a different distro purely to test ? [00:42] jonzbcc, as in a boot cd ? [00:42] mlistus: I can't do this now this is not the future nas machine and here the clock says 01:41 AM and i'm little tired [00:42] TommyNavara: no prob!

[00:51] !rar | darkmaster977_ [00:51] darkmaster977_: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [00:52] They work faulessly in Ubuntu 8.10 [00:53] I had the same problem with trying to use tor privoxy with ubuntu 9.10 [00:53] ugg i hate this all i wanna do is go on the internet but i cant :( [00:53] how do i tell banshee to rip to mp3 instead of ogg ? [00:53] skullcandy2, you are using tor? [00:53] somebody use dell inspiron? [00:53] @bazhang no just firefox [00:53] ecanto, how about a more specific question [00:54] bazhang, button eject cd-rom not work. [00:54] resetting my router did nothing, resetting network connections did nothing. [00:55] skullcandy2, and firefox setting dont have proxy set? [00:55] no proxy's for firefox, only for my pidgin messenger [00:56] hey nm it works!!! [00:57] ecanto, does the cd/dvd on the desktop appear? [00:57] is there any tool that can convert a manpage to a text file or another format? I need the manpage for a certain app accessable from a non linux box [00:57] hey guys, I'm trying to assemble a software raid array, but getting the following error "Device or resource busy" but can't figure out what would be causing that [00:57] skullcandy2, so what was wrong? [00:57] balas, do you have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed? [00:57] it's not mounted or anything [00:57] i forgot i had a proxy on XD === IdleOne_ is now known as IdleOne [00:57] mithro: try using lsof to check what's using it? [00:58] it went back to the old outdate proxy i had open [00:58] skullcandy2, so there was a proxy [00:58] i forgot to put it back on "direct connection" [00:58] skullcandy2, you owe a round of beer to #ubuntu now [00:58] faileas: easiest way to accomplish that is probably to just use manpages.ubuntu.com [00:58] anything u guys need? [00:58] ecanto, try type 'eject' in terminal. [00:58] faileas, man pages exist in html format on the web [00:58] that would work, i suppose [00:58] faileas: nothing according to lsof - which is the weird part === l^_^l is now known as The_Thing [01:02] why does the bluetooth applet even discover and add headset devices when there is no support for it in the audio api? [01:02] hello, i've just dragged and dropped a new gdm theme into the appearance applet, now i want to go and edit one of the xml files that make up that gdm theme; where do i find it? [01:02] JyZyXEL: ive heard they can work.. but theres some extra work that needs tobe done. (and ive never managed to get it to work) [01:03] thehurley: in your .themes directroy i belive [01:04] would anyone here know how to fix missing ABI errors when packing a kernel into a ppa? [01:04] any tips on setting highest quality vbr cd rip from rhythmbox ? [01:05] how do i disable CPU Scaling? [01:05] Dr_Willis: nope, it's not there [01:05] balas: imo use 320 instead of vbr (or just go with flac..) [01:05] what size shoul swap be? [01:05] renegaid: how much ram do you have === jens is now known as Guest80202 [01:06] renegaid, ram/2 [01:06] can some 1 plz gide me trew ati radeon 4850 instalation?!

I have an mx laser mouse that wont work with ubuntu, does anyone know how to make it work? [01:06] thehurley: i have several 100 theme files ive installed in my .themes directrory [01:06] renegaid: unless you need to hibernate you shouldn't need any swap [01:06] thehurley: what exactly was it you installed? === Guest80202 is now known as jerp [01:06] !ati > magnus [01:06] magnus, please see my private message [01:06] magnus, not me, but talk right [01:06] so 4gb for swap [01:06] renegaid: no [01:06] renegaid: if you want to hibernate, you need at least 8 [01:06] renegaid, well, given that you have so much ram, i would do it anything between 4 and 2 gb [01:07] how do i disable CPU Scaling? ubuntu 9.10, Intel pentium 4 CPU [01:07] ChogyDan, thats not true [01:07] renegaid: do you need support for hibernation, aka suspend-to-disk? [01:07] Dr_Willis: a couple of gdm themes from here: http://gnome-look.org/index.php?xsortmode=high&page=0&xcontentmode=150 [01:07] ChogyDan, he would only need 8gb if he went to hibernate with his 8gb full of memory [01:07] blakkheim: i have tryed it, i need some one to walk me trew it i have been on theyr website [01:07] I prefer standby [01:07] but that is highly unlikely. [01:07] renegaid: then you don't need any swap [01:07] renegaid, if you think you will be using 100% of your ram, then do make swap 8gb [01:07] thehurley: you are ysing ubuntu 9.10? if so - its default gdm is NOT compatiable with the old gdm themes.. [01:07] I always hear it is a good idea to have swap regardless [01:08] it is [01:08] you never know when you will need to hibernate [01:08] I always put at least 1 512mb swap on every hd. [01:08] I never use hibernate. :) too many issues in the past. [01:08] DOesn't hurt to have swap. How much you need depends on how much RAM you have, and how many applications you run at a time, and the amount of RAM those apps would need. [01:09] magnus: the instructions on the page the bot PMed you are very easy to follow. it would also help if you took the time to spell out your words correctly. [01:09] !swap > kindofabuzz [01:09] kindofabuzz, please see my private message [01:10] magnus: The page where you download the ATI drivers should have the instructions on what you do with the file you downloaded.

[01:11] magnus: is english your first language? you may get better help in a channel that speaks your native language [01:12] blakkheim: no its not, but im out no help to gain anyway [01:13] how can i see a list of available wireless networks in gnome? [01:14] blakkheim: guess he dident want it that badly? :) [01:14] Dr_Willis: there's only so much help one can give in regards to ati [01:15] need help.. can anyone tell me why this command won't work: mkisofs -dvd-video -o ../dvd.iso ? I'm in a directory with ~/dvd/ that contains a VIDEO_TS dir [01:16] hi, i'm having some trouble with macchanger. i've done some investigation and happens to more people (in ubuntuforums eg). problem is i disable networkmanager, disable networking, disable eth1, chhange its address with macchanger or manually with ifconfig hw , but when enable everything back, and trying to connect, i can't, networkmanager keeps trying and asking back and for for password. i use a broadcom wl driver. any idea what could be the problem? [01:16] genisoimage: Missing pathspec is error [01:16] presumida: make your life easier, remove nm and use wicd [01:16] blakkheim: wicd neither works [01:16] I have a network printer that shows up on my ubuntu netbook, but it doesn't show up on my ubuntu desktop. Do I have to tell my desktop to look for printers on the network? [01:17] Where can I test my mic working on Ubuntu [01:17] presumida: really? i use wicd and macchanger all the time and it works fine [01:17] while searching for a solution a guy reported that he tried with wicd too, and didn't work [01:17] presumida: but then it is a broadcom card and their linux support isn't the best in the world [01:17] hey everyone, I think I just messed up the newest samba update...I accidentally hit cancel on smb.conf replace/keep portion. Is there some way I can apt-get or something like that? Do you know what the package was called, because I already forget. [01:17] presumida, laptop or usb wifi ? [01:18] yeah, tinkering with broadcom sux in linux :/( [01:18] laptop hyperstream [01:18] a dell netbook === Nightw0lf is now known as Nightwolf [01:19] hey.. anyone knows where bind9 cache results are stored? [01:19] err, on all the laptops ive run ubuntu on, all i do is disable the flag, then run macchanger -r or macchanger-gtk as sudo, if the flag fails to release the device, ithen proceed to sudo ifconfig wlan0 down, then run macchanger then up it. and also, if you have an extra adapter set to monitor mode( mon0 ) make sure you down that and change the address there too [01:20] presumida, i do that all with the default network manager etc running [01:21] presumida, error about device resource busy or in use etc yeah ? [01:21] nope hyperstream i don't. sadly, this driver won't support monitor mode :( . I hate this piece of junk. anyway i tried exactly what you do , and also disabling networking and networkmanager but nothing did work, so i guess it's some problem with this card chipset [01:22] yeah hyperstream , even when it's disabled i keep getting that message [01:22] presumida, how are you disable the device, what command ? [01:22] ing* [01:22] ifconfig eth1 down [01:22] eth1 is my wifi if [01:22] and then sudo macchanger -r eth1 [01:23] still gives you that error ? [01:23] yeah [01:23] i tried -r, -d, -A, all of em [01:24] presumida, sounds like ifconfig eth1 down isnt working to properly [01:25] should turn off when you disable the flag via button on the cover of the laptop [01:25] but it looks like it disables it. when you do ifconfig it just lists the enabled ifaces, and after running ifconfit eth1 down and then ifconfig it won't list it, so it's supposed to be down [01:26] Hey #ubuntu - I need a new userchrome.css, or a new usercontent.css for firefox. Though I'm not sure which one... all of the input fields in firefox are black, along with the text being black.... does anyone know where I can get a good userchrome.css??? [01:28] hey, quick question: I want to use XCOPY from windows, to verify as I move. What is the equivalent, any ideas? [01:28] I downloaded ProggyClean ttf font, made a new dir in /usr/share/fonts/truetype, rebuilt my font cache (font cache picked the font up in the new dir), now ProggyClean shows up in X apps and such, but not in xfontsel, any ideas why? [01:29] ok hyperstream thanks for your help and thanks all, i'll give up for now. The thing is i'm connecting to a wifi router which i don't want my mac get logged in it, so i thought i could change my logical mac, but then i can't so i guess nobody looks at the loogs hehe [01:30] Anyone have ideas as to why I'd be getting this? dpkg: error processing python-scipy (--configure): and a bunch of python 2.5 errors, when I'm running ubuntu 9.10? [01:30] Can't apt-get anything without it throwing these errors [01:30] presumida, you aircracker you :P, [01:31] presumida, dont do it man, they can still nab yah if your careless. [01:31] q_a_z_steve: i recall that 'fsarchiver' can do verification - but its not in the 9.10 repos - iit will be in the next release however [01:31] q_a_z_steve: proberly other ways to do it also. [01:32] hahah hyperstream :P i don't have wifi here, and you know, life sucks without internet lol ^_^ [01:32] q_a_z_steve: http://www.fsarchiver.org/Main_Page [01:32] read my pm :P [01:32] can cp do verification?

[01:35] I added a second CPU to my Dell Precision 670 (ubuntu 9.10 64bit) recently and now it seems the machine is running slower. (sluggish to be more exact) It has frozen upon start up, where I could multiple programs and or windows it seems to be struggling to keep up with me... [01:35] Hello, I'm having some issues with cron in 9.10. I am trying to run a shell script that has read and execute permissions set for user group and other. Syslog reports that the cron job is running the proper command, but it seems to have no effect. [01:35] My ubuntu is 9.10: in network manager has shown "ifupdown (eth0)" and I can't erase this alias, why? [01:35] anyone has a intel i945 chip with s-video output? [01:35] would dropping another cpu in do this or is it more likely something else? [01:36] im trying to make a box a mediacenter... [01:36] and X wont start.. :S [01:36] not sure how to configure this.. [01:36] dont find any xorg.conf file for this.. :S [01:36] ? [01:36] wish to make s-video the primary output of X [01:36] !network-manager [01:36] networkmanager is an application to make (wireless) networking Just Work.

[01:37] xorg.conf [01:37] oh.. [01:37] Dr_Willis: just curious... what makes you say that fsarchiver might be included in Lucid? i guess i am curious because, it not in here yet ;-) [01:38] onetinsoldier: i saw it mentioned ion the fsarchiver homepage the other day [01:38] Dr_Willis: ahh, roger. interesting. thanks :) [01:38] hm.. where could i find a xorg.conf example file for this.. [01:38] Dr_Willis: guess i'll have a look at that link then [01:39] onetinsoldier: http://www.fsarchiver.org/Installation 'It should be available in the standard repository in Ubuntu-10.04 (Lucid Lynx) if everything is ok.' [01:40] why can I delete the entry alias on network manager? [01:40] why can't I delete the entry alias on network manager?* [01:40] Dr_Willis: roger. thanks. it's not in Lucid yet though [01:40] onetinsoldier: guess not everything is 'ok' yet. :) [01:41] Dr_Willis: guess not then [01:41] why can't I delete the entry alias on network manager?* [01:41] Anybody know how to make newly installed ttf fonts show up in xfontsel? They show up in other places like gtk apps, etc... but I can't get them to show up in xfontsel so I can configure my xterm to use them [01:42] malaphus: i recall some command to refresh the font cache.. but its been so long since i last used it.. [01:42] xterm can use TTF fonts? [01:42] wondering if someone can help me with my wireless adapter. it was working yesterday and now it will not show any networks. it appears in lspci and lshw. not sure where to start...

[01:44] or usercontent.css * [01:44] :) [01:44] should be an example file in your profile dir [01:44] shazbotmcnasty: download it from the mozilla website [01:44] userChrome-example.css [01:45] fabio, I wasn't aware that they had one - they have a page telling you how to change it yourself, but I'm really bad at that. [01:45] I added a second CPU to my Dell precision 670 running ubuntu 9.10 64bit. After adding the CPU the machine has gotten slower/sluggish. Windows and applications slow the machine down if not lock it up... could this be the cpu or more likely something else I may have down... [01:45] seriously though, the userChrome.css file is optional [01:45] PingFloyd, if I rename it nothing happens..

Not pre-record, but stream?

I know how to capture/stream, and can stream in flv.. but you need a flash player on the other end [01:49] malaphus: xfontsel just shows bitmap font iirc [01:49] Blue1: yes [01:49] Dill, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop, it's the standard package for GDM in Ubuntu [01:49] photocopy: how about something that plays in ff3.5? (using html5 video) [01:49] PingFloyd, I think it's just that those files don't have the things that I need changed in them - I fixed this before a loooong time ago by getting a userchrome.css from another gtk theme - but I can't find one now :/ [01:49] CarlFK: i think that could work [01:49] Dill: i use that on my acer - works will no way to get rid of that - you'd have to install desktop ubuntu - it's designed the way it is for a netbook - and it works well for that size machine.

I'll setup a demo [01:50] CarkFK: Some friend and I were going to speedrun race a video game with emulators and need to be able to let our audience actually see it [01:50] backup package download list [01:50] iflema, did they change the location recently? [01:50] or really, how do i calibrate my touch screen in lucid? [01:50] LoopBack and of course follow with update-grub [01:50] Blue1: it looks like older versions of the netbook remix had a setting somewhere that you could change it [01:50] Note to self: Do NOT remove mysql-common -- it remove most of KDE and some Apps too! (Iike Open Office) -- ah well. Fixed. [01:50] LoopBack the whole thing this is now grub2 [01:51] student_modnar, wlan0 Failed to read scan data: Network is down [01:51] Dill: I dunno I have only played with the 9.10 version [01:51] paddy_melon: doesn't that change my netbook flavor to the standard version?

(yes i realize you're setting up a demo haha, just asking questions ahead of time) [01:54] photocopy: this is the capture side: http://dvswitch.alioth.debian.org/wiki/inputs/ [01:54] photocopy: and around there somewhere is the stream stuff.

[01:55] holy sh-- carlfk: i got no idea how to use this [01:55] paddy_melon: the netbook remix is supposed to be coded to work with an atom processor and maximize it's performance. I just don't like the side dock with the tabs. I miss the desktop space in the regular version. So, I guess I want to keep the processor coding in the netbook remix, but get my "desktop" back. [01:55] student_modnar, not sure where to go from here [01:55] shazbotmcnasty: the example file doesn't have anything set, everthing is commented [01:55] oh [01:55] photocopy: don't worry bout it - that's the guts. [01:55] I'll fix that then... [01:55] shazbotmcnasty: you can use that as a template though (cp it to userChrome.css) and then edit it from there [01:56] CarlFK: I take it im supposed to install DVswitch so i did that... [01:56] PingFloyd: Alright, well I just tried the bitmap version of proggy, fc-cache says "caching, new cache contents: 2 fonts" but they still dont show up in xfontsel [01:56] photocopy: don't need to, but might come in handy for debugging [01:56] photocopy: you need DVswitch to mix video streams - like doing pnp [01:56] malaphus: what's the font names? [01:57] carlfk: meh, cant hurt i suppose [01:57] ProggyClean and ProggyCleanConsole [01:57] is the file name [01:57] .fon [01:58] howdeep: it should have either given you a permission denied error for not sudo-ing or the prompt again after ifconfig wlan0 up [01:58] CarlFK: Im supposed to be waiting still, right? im not sure if i missed an instruction or something [01:58] PingFloyd: They show up fine in qt apps, gtk apps, etc... just not xfontsel [01:58] how do i calibrate my touch screen in lucid?

[01:59] nps [02:00] student_modnar, tried it again. it came back with SIOCSIFFLAGS: no such file or directory [02:00] malaphus: not sure if ubuntu has it, but debian had gtkfontsel [02:00] howdeep, i get that message all the time, it does nothing, doesnt effect me [02:00] malaphus: that would show ones that fontsel wouldn't [02:00] What the name of the package that was written to be used instead of Tomboy that doesn't make use of Mono? [02:01] howdeep: when using ifconfig, the name of the device is wlan0 right? [02:01] Scunizi: gedit? [02:02] Blue1: no.. that's a text editor.. Tomboy is a note taking app that come "stock" with Ubuntu [02:02] Scunizi sticky notes? [02:02] connect irc.dareyourmind.net [02:02] Scunizi: I've never used tomboy -- nuked it like first thing. [02:02] iflema: nope. that's been out for several years.. this one was written because the author objected to mono [02:02] written the the last year or so [02:03] student_modnar, yeah. that's what i put in [02:03] all my pxe / netbooting livecds worked prior to upgrading to karmic, now none of them do. here's my config, what's wrong with it: http://paste.ubuntu.com/365130/ [02:03] Scunizi i thought sticky notes is mono free...... [02:03] photocopy: http://giss.tv:8000/CarlFK.ogg that should give you a 50k stream of my screen [02:03] PingFloyd: they arent showing up in gtkfontsel either :-( [02:03] iflema: probably is.. but it doesn't use WikiWords like Tomboy [02:03] photocopy: 50k doesn't get you much detail, so the text is kinda fuzzy [02:04] howdeep: well it might be something else when you do it yourself, if that's the case, you could at least probably google that error [02:04] CarlFK: its okay, we're playing super mario world [02:04] Scunizi: its gnote [02:04] ma_faucher: TaDa! I think that it! .. now to find out if it's in the repos [02:04] Hey guys. Can someone help troubleshoot my LAMP install? [02:05] ma_faucher: do you know of one that is more kde oriented? [02:05] CarlFK: cant decid ewhat to say? [02:05] CarlFK: Watching you type all this lmao [02:05] photocopy: do you care if there is a 10 second lag? (it buffers it so that network burps dont intrupt it [02:06] Scunizi: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) [02:06] oops [02:06] malaphus: I think you want to use the .pcf ones [02:06] Guiri: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) [02:06] Scunizi: I think Basket pad or something [02:06] malaphus: if I'm not mistake .fon is a windows font format [02:06] oh yeah, you see my (this thing here) thing :) [02:06] CarlFK: It's not picky, 10 seconds is fine, we're speed running a game, the other guy will probably have some delay too. [02:06] jrib: did earlier.. and was responding to several directly with the exception of maybe once or twice... [02:06] CarlFK: im sure we won't cut it as close as within 10 seconds [02:06] jrib: when I go to the URL the site works but when I go to a subdirectory firefox tries to open a file and says x-httpd-php/application. [02:06] I'm a bit stumped [02:07] ma_faucher: thanks.. I'll look around.. it's appriciated [02:07] !lamp > Guiri [02:07] Guiri, please see my private message [02:07] Guiri: follow the troubleshooting steps there [02:07] photocopy: there is also VNC, more detail, more real time... and maybe easier. I record tech talks and am looking at this for recording the presenters screen as part of the video [02:08] !chromium [02:08] You can get testing builds for Chromium at https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/ppa [02:08] Hi. I installed ubuntu along with windows 7, but now since I'm more focused on learning true linux (commands and stuff), instead of a new distribution, I decided to virtualize another distribution of linux. the thing is, currently the grub has control over the MBR... and the only way I know of removing ubuntu is by deleting its partitions, but that will leave me with a MBR pointing nowhere thus leaving me unable to boot windows 7. I was wondering what [02:08] CarlFK: this is good enough quality, but im not exactly the most seasoned linux user so whichever is easier is probably best. [02:08] good evening [02:09] is ubuntu+1 working, cannot get any response? just want to calibrate my touchscreen. . . [02:09] photocopy: well.. yeah... both have advantages - for what I am doing, set up an account at giss.tv (free) and then run this nasty command: [02:09] ffmpeg -f x11grab -s 1024x768 -r 29 -i :0.0 -target ntsc-dv -y - | ffmpeg2theora - -f dv -F 25:5 -v 2 -a 1 -c 1 -H 11025 -o - | oggfwd giss.tv 8000 $CARLFKPW /CarlFK.ogg [02:09] master: I don't see you in #ubuntu+1 [02:10] Heyo. After upgrading to 9.10 from 9.04, my video (using NVIDIA restricted driver) is no longer working. Is there a way to reinstall via CLI? sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180 suggests that the package is deprecated or replaced. [02:10] CarlFK: How do i set up an account there? Im not seeing it. [02:10] photocopy: "Create your channel" [02:10] i just downloaded ATI drivers but im having ahard time installing it. Can somebody help? [02:10] julia_set: i don't know with Windows7. but with XP, you'd do something like insert the disk and get to where it ask you for a partition to install to, you select it, then cancel the install, and that would put a windows boot loader back into the mbr [02:10] komputes: it's listed as ubuntu-unregged, but i'm there [02:10] CarlFK: Im not sure what to put in code, mountpoint, email [02:11] mysphyt: that happened to me too. Use envyng-core [02:11] photocopy: you don't know your email? :) [02:11] master: try this command: /join #ubuntu+1 [02:11] CarlFK: Sorry, I guess just code and mountpoint, i know my own email, lmao. Mind fart i guess [02:11] How can I copy the contents of a file to the clipboard from the terminal? [02:12] code is the numbers above (to make sure you are human.) for mountpoint, try photocopy - it;s like a user name [02:12] does anybody know what a file ending in .dpkg-bak in general means? is this a "Backup of a .dpkg" or something? [02:12] onetinsoldier. Not the same with windows 7 :D. [02:12] Thanks, gagzilla. I'll give it a try. [02:12] julia_set: roger [02:12] okay, carlFK, what about the channel web site and logo url? [02:12] komputes: i did, "#ubuntu-unregged" is where it takes me [02:13] photocopy: optional... like if you have a web page [02:13] master: interesting, do you need to be registered on freenode to be in there? let me test via webirc client. [02:14] komputes: ok, i'll be patient, thanks :) [02:14] julia_set: you could try easyBCD for your windows [02:14] Hrm. gagzilla, envyng-core and envyng-gtk are both not in the repos any more, or at least don't seem to be. Am I missing something? [02:14] (Would the upgrade have disabled any sources?) [02:14] CarlFK: Ok, i signed up and activated from the email and it says it might be up in less than an hour. how do I get to it and how to i see if its up and how do i start streaming to it [02:15] julia_set: that's how I do dual boot [02:15] photocopy: phone call, may be a while... ping me when you get the email [02:15] !register | masshuu [02:15] masshuu: Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname.

[02:17] master, you need to register your nickname, use your status/server window and type /nickserv help register [02:17] Odd. My mumble-web-server.conf in my /etc/apache2/conf.d is fine. But Firefox still displays the damned file as if its binary and tries to donwload [02:18] master: yup got booted into ubuntu-unregged too [02:18] master: it says -ChanServ- [#ubuntu-unregged] Please register your nickname to join #ubuntu - we are experiencing technical difficulties. Instructions at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup [02:19] Hello folks, I'm having some problems with my cronatab. I'm trying to tell cron to run a shell script every minute, and the cron daemon posts that it has run the file into /var/log/syslog . However, I see no effects. [02:20] bjornredtail, add some debug lines to your shellscript [02:20] komputes: i must be dumb. where do input /msg nickserv register ??? i tried here, no effect [02:20] bjornredtail, something with the file ? [02:20] The script itself runs when I call it from bash by hand [02:20] I have it cat some output onto a file [02:20] master, try putting in a 'password' and 'email' then check your IRC Chat server/status window [02:20] That's how I know it's not having any effects [02:20] master: the response from nickserv will be in the server tab (depends what your irc client is) [02:21] bjornredtail, nopaste the script [02:21] master: if you get lost /msg nickserv help [02:21] bjornredtail, did you look at the logger tool so real time write to the syslog? [02:21] master, /join #freenode and ask them for help registering your nickname [02:21] I'm just running tail -f on both logs [02:22] bjornredtail, so instead of merging two files every minute what whatever is creating the other file write real time directly to the log? [02:22] komputes: PingFloyd: where do input these commands???? [02:22] master, in your SERVER window/tab/STATUS window. [02:22] master: in the server messages tab [02:23] master, your using xchat, so it should be called, 'Ubuntu Servers' [02:23] for rwx for group and owner, and nothing for anyone else, the permission code would be 770 right? [02:24] http://users.csc.calpoly.edu/~amusselm/updateimages.bash [02:24] komputes: what a joke, i can't even do this and i want help with my touchscreen? [02:24] That's the script [02:24] komputes: it says master already registered! [02:24] master, did you even go to the website that tells you how to register your nickname ? [02:24] master: check your email, check the website [02:24] master, choose another nickname: /nick [02:24] hyperstream, yes! [02:24] hyperstream: i did [02:24] master, someone else already Owns that nickname [02:25] hyperstream: i typed /msg nickserv register fireball newmaniax@gmail.com [02:25] master, why did you tell everyone your password? i hope you dont use that password for anything else? [02:25] has anyone got a moment to help me diagnose my keyboard failure? [02:25] hi.. [02:26] android6011 correct.... why goup wrx? [02:26] ok so i have attempted to switch to wmii but i cannot for the life of me get my wifi to connect without using the nm-applet [02:26] komputes, must have raged ;/ [02:26] iflema: its a shared folder [02:26] for a certain group [02:26] never use the same password for multiple services [02:26] nibbler, http://users.csc.calpoly.edu/~amusselm/updateimages.bash ...I'm not sure if you missed it in the scroll [02:26] i set up the essid ap and channel... then i try to connect with dhclient and it always says there is no dhcp offers. when i connect with NetworkManager it goes great [02:26] android6011 goodone [02:26] hyperstream: major failure [02:26] PingFloyd: already quit [02:27] anyone know why dhclient can't find it but nm can? [02:27] komputes, i somehow dont think he is ready for the world of irc, needs to read things first lol [02:27] hyperstream: happens [02:27] hyperstream: you just know he's changing his gmail pw [02:27] I've got an eepc t91 and the keyboard has stopped working other than the occasional keypress, usb keyboard is working, matchbox on screen keyboard is not [02:28] he's like a deer wandering out on the information highway from hell [02:28] cam on ubuntu...what about /dev/video0 ?? [02:28] any ideas? [02:28] PingFloyd, LOL [02:28] bjornredtail, so what is totally missing is a working directory, start with "cd ~" maybe [02:28] nibbler: A thanks [02:29] bjornredtail, cd /tmp might be better for that, or use the -O option of wget, and specify paths for the logging [02:29] anyone know why NetworkManager would connect when dhclient cannot? is there some special magic it uses that i can't find? [02:29] nibbler, I actually want another copy of the pictures that it autodownloads [02:30] How do you get apt to give you a version # for a package? [02:30] on [02:31] Scunizi: apt-cache show | grep Version [02:31] bjornredtail, well yea, do this as you like ;-) append a `date` to the filenames maybe, if you want to create an archive, use the formatstring to make it more usefull [02:31] I have just bought a new laptop (pc) with Win 7 on it, and would like to dual boot with Ubuntu 9.10 ...although I was running Ubuntu [only] on previous laptop, I haven't set up a dual boot before. Is this something that is quite straightforward and could someone point me in a direction for a tutorial or good information on procedure please? [02:31] onetinsoldier: I thought of that.. didn't return a version number [02:31] UBlondie, its like automatic during ubuntu installation [02:32] UBlondie: http://lifehacker.com/5403100/dual+boot-windows-7-and-ubuntu-in-perfect-harmony [02:32] Ah, sweet. Working. Thanks again. [02:32] thanks nibbler ..... [02:32] Scunizi: oh? what does the following command show? --> apt-cache show bzip2 | grep Version [02:32] Scunizi dpkg -l [02:32] UBlondie, but check keith s link just in case :p [02:33] is there something ready-made like ubuntu one, just in open source? [02:33] ok :) [02:33] LOL, someone was implying that the fast bootup time of ubuntu and fedora is worthless. That person must have never heard of laptops. [02:33] pbzip2 is a better version of bzip2 in my opinion [02:33] CarlFK: I've gotten the email btw.. [02:34] onetinsoldier: that worked.. I had typed search instead of show.. fat fingers, long day etc.. thanks [02:34] Does anyone know what bot is used to log this channel? [02:34] keith - I have found the lifehacker tut. but wasn't sure about the ntfs partition for shared data. Is linux ok with that? ...it won't slow it down or cause any problems with the standard install being either ext3 or ext4? [02:34] hi how do i log in to my nick [02:35] Scunizi: you're welcome :-) cheers [02:35] monkeyboy_, /msg nickserv [02:35] I'm assuming you are refering to IRC [02:35] ma_faucher: Basket looks promising.. kinda fun too.. [02:35] SiphoNkosi: the nickname of it, or what software it's running? [02:36] UBlondie: on my dual boot i don't even use a shared data partition. i just view my ntfs files from linux and don't care enough about accessing linux from windows... but just make sure you use it for shared data. and i haven't noticed a speed issue. [02:36] rww, the software please. [02:36] hmm let's try wicd [02:37] I connected an old disk with an existing fedora os on it and now something is chewing up my cpu. The program mountall seems to be doing something. Any idea what might be happening? [02:37] Keith - I was thinking the same because I will intend on using Ubuntu mostly. Only reason for Windows is Photoshop and mobile phone sofware (and iTunes :( ). A pain really === monkeyboy_ is now known as meowbuntu [02:38] hey everyone [02:38] SiphoNkosi: no idea. It's administered by Canonical; the folks at #canonical-sysadmins might now, but generally take a while to reply. [02:38] defenceminister: one of the first things i check is /var/log/messages, usually with the command --> tail -f /var/log/messages [02:39] rww, does the nickinfo give any clue? Thanks for the info in either case. [02:39] SiphoNkosi: sorry, sysadmin, not sysadmins [02:39] SiphoNkosi: it's called ubuntulog, so not really [02:39] defenceminister: you might consider running the 'top' command as well or using gnome-system-monitor [02:39] photocopy: is your stream setup page: http://giss.tv/interface/?mp=photocopy.ogg ? [02:40] i lost a lot of data in one of my external hard dirvers because of a careless format , and i want to recover it , anybody have any advice? [02:40] There is nothing unusual in /var/log.messages [02:40] ouyes: be more careful next time [02:40] top is showing mountall and udevd eating up some cpu [02:41] * iflema :) [02:41] anyone familiar with firehol? [02:41] CarlFK No [02:41] ouyes: I just did that a few weeks ago. formatting whackes it pretty hard, but photorec does do a pretty good job of recoving small files, like jpegs [02:41] defenceminister: roger. the system monitor can be found at System --> Administration --> System Monitor [02:41] photocopy: what is it? [02:41] blakkheim, yes mate, but the loss for this time is really big [02:41] I'm using fluxbox [02:41] hmmm wicd sort of worked. i must work on this wmii setup. at least i'm online [02:41] Scunizi: It doesn't look quite like tomboy, but the fact that it does more than text looks interesting [02:42] onetinsoldier, it seems my system has auto mounted the new disk. [02:42] onetinsoldier, do you know where ubuntu auto mounts disks? [02:42] CarlFK, any jpeg? photos? [02:42] CarlFK: http://giss.tv:8000/GLaDOS.ogg ? (Named it after the nick i use on the other channel & network) [02:42] defenceminister: sounds good. see anything in the system monitor eating up a lot of cpu? [02:42] Anyone know how i can route traffic from tun0 to eth0? [02:42] ouyes: that is the idea: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec [02:43] I have an EeePC 900 [02:43] And I recently installed the UNR [02:43] I am not able to see my volumes [02:43] route add [02:43] viperh_: In the terminal? [02:44] Not really, conky seems to be saying 80% used [02:44] defenceminister: i'm not sure just how the auto mounting works. there may need to be an entry in the /etc/fstab for a volume to be auto mounted, but i'm not sure [02:44] but top is saying only about 40% [02:44] iWolf yes [02:44] photocopy: sudo apt-get install ffmpeg ffmpeg2theora oggfwd [02:45] Hi [02:45] do Man route to get full desc.

How can i fix this issue ? [02:47] actionparsnip: via ethernet? [02:47] Carlis: use aptitude and post the output/errors [02:47] Iwolf: sure [02:47] defenceminister: a little on the older side, but should still work fine. not sure how much cpu conky or whatever should be taking [02:47] viperh_: I used route add, all it did was tell me Usage: etc; [02:48] bonsoir, hello [02:48] Carlis: please pastebin the output of: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install wine [02:48] photocopy: it is - select text, middle click in the term [02:48] How do i use the aptitude ?

Is there a good bs to use? Wondering how to make the imaging quicker.... [02:50] am ok in both canadian official languages . . . [02:50] defenceminister: oh??

[03:03] TongueOfColicab, that is offtopic here; please visit ##windows and #debian for support [03:03] TongueOfColicab: in short.. you can't. windows will overwrite it, but you can very easily reinstall grub from a livecd and it will work again. [03:03] win7 is going to have to make a 100mb _primary_ partition on your hdd, best bet is to use a separate disk [03:03] ok [03:03] really? [03:03] Hi I am facing problem in using Yahoo messenger in Ubuntu 9.10 [03:04] hello everybody [03:04] TongueOfColicab, i think you can first install win 7 then reinstall grub using a live cd [03:04] you mean i can recover grub after update to 7 [03:04] chainloader is your friend, and good bye everyone === kaddi_ is now known as kaddi [03:04] is there some way for people reading this chat to see what i have written before?

[03:10] i am dont worry [03:10] candy: youtube-dl --help [03:10] hunt, HOW can you move one os to another partition ? i am so curios [03:10] i appreciate any help i can get, i decided i will use Ubuntu no matter the difficulties [03:11] ouyes: booted with live-cd, run gparted [03:11] my computer freezes after idling a long time, when I hibernate or when i try the other option to standby, need help [03:11] ouyes: I firt copied my sda4 to a blank space, then deleted sda4 [03:12] reinstalled grub [03:12] denisp12, as usual , you have to update(system>admin>update manager) after a fresh installation [03:12] and edited fstab [03:12] denisp12: i would suggest to not use hibernate/suspend Unless you REALLY need it. it can cause issues with some hardware. [03:12] hunt, then what happed exactly? [03:12] i do regularly [03:13] update that is [03:13] denisp12, yes avoid using hibernate and suspend [03:13] but what if i go away from my computer for an hour or more? what do i use? [03:13] please, does anybody know a way to use my desktop as a ssh proxy? what i pretend to do is (without using x over ssh) sshing my desktop from any host i'm on, and send any internet requests encrypted through it. For example, i want a page loaded, my browser sends it through ssh to my desktop, it resolves teh address, gets the page, and sends it back to my browser. Same for downloading things, irc, and everything. Anybody knows some solution? === dudicus is now known as cowbud [03:14] ouyes: grub2 osprober found opensuse on sda8, I tried booting it, it gives me that green background says something like "doing normal boot" then tries to fsck.ext4 sda4 which fails and then tells me it couldnt resume and drops me to a shell [03:14] Alright, my next question, I am using a EeePC 900, And I think I have 2 disks, 4 GB SSD, and a 16 GB SSD, How do I see them both? [03:14] so you are saying no screen saver, no energy management? [03:14] presumida: you'd need openssh server installed [03:14] faileas: i have it installed [03:15] the client is also linux? [03:15] faileas: look, problem with X over ssh is that my remote desktop needs to be running a X client and send output to my host [03:15] blakkheim, once i closed the panel and now i dont know how to get it back.. evirytihng i minimize i cant see it [03:15] presumida: naw, if you use windows, i need to give you instructions for putty. else ssh client [03:15] denisp12: my screensaver and stuff work fine. its the hibernate/suspend special features that oiften have propblems [03:15] blakkheim, what to do? [03:16] denisp12: i leave my pc's on for weeks at a time. [03:16] hello, how can i put a shortcut for changing between 2 languages? [03:16] and i'm trying to avoid that faileas, i simply want that any internet request my browser, my downloader, and so does, be forwarded through ssh to my remote desktop, it does the job, and sends back the result [03:16] denisp12: or i shutdown/reboot - given its about a 30 sec boot time for me.. its not a big deal [03:16] candy: i don't understand your question with the way you worded it [03:16] thank you for your advice i am looking at the different menus right now [03:16] Hello. I've read ln manual but still have no idea how to make it work: I'd like to make all access (rw from users or software) to directory /dir1 will actually access the content inside the directory /dir2 (i.e. a symlink would solve this i guess). Could anyone help me write a correct command? (dir1 is blank now while dir2 has contents, so when the job done, access to dir1 will see dir2 content) [03:16] faileas: i use only gnu/linux === tato is now known as tato_42 [03:17] blakkheim, hmm panels which show icons for minimized windows, i deleted once [03:17] i will change everything to no hibernate, not suspend [03:17] blakkheim, and now i m unable to get it back... [03:17] kbp: remove the dir1 and then do ln -s /path/to/dir2 /path/to/dir1 [03:17] kbp: do ln -s /dir1 /dir2 [03:17] hunt, ok, maybe you can run update-grub or manually edit the starting entries, if this fails , i suggest that backup your critic data before go any further, sorry i must say i never encountered the same issue as you, so my advice is not precise and maybe useless [03:17] presumida: http://www.searchmarked.com/ubuntu/how-to-surf-anonymously-using-an-ssh-tunnel-and-ubuntu.php [03:17] oops sry cowbud typed it correct [03:18] thank you cowbud and presumida I'll do it [03:18] blakkheim, ok for example if i minimize firefox i cant see it anymore [03:18] presumida: hey 90% of the battle shoooot :) [03:18] ouyes: thanks anyway I'll try it now, bye [03:18] presumida: it'll work likewise for most other apps, you need to set them up accordingly [03:18] kbp: but make sure you do it as cowbud my command is wrong, first dir2, then dir1 [03:18] blakkheim, the only option for me is to pree alt+tab and get it.

[03:33] what can of messenger available for webcam [03:33] now that i know what a terminal is [03:33] Is there any way that I can get it so when i run my command, 'java -XmX512M server' to keep running after i close putty? [03:33] sbilik, still there? [03:33] ouyes: it is. [03:33] Iwolf: if you hit alt+f2 you will get root file manager [03:33] Justin_`: screen [03:33] Justin_`: add a & to it so it puts the command in the background [03:33] denisp12: you may want to 'reinstall' and make your swap partion larger. if you must use hibernate/suspend [03:33] So like [03:33] Justin_`: if the process detaches properly it will work [03:34] cowbud: it seems that deluged won't uninstall. [03:34] 'java -Xmx512M server &' ? [03:34] slowly getting there i think, no no i do not want to reinstall, had too many problems [03:34] PlasmaSheep: when you do dpkg --purge deluge-common what do you get? [03:34] iWolf: you will be able to go all over yer system [03:34] Justin_`: i'm not certain.. perhaps the 'nohup' command --> man nohup [03:34] PlasmaSheep, are you trying to install a download tool named deluge? [03:34] Justin_`: yes and alternatively if the app is poorly coded for that type of behavior nohup will work as onetinsoldier suggested [03:34] i think i will just have to reinstall [03:35] cowbud: I've done that, but deluged won't uninstall. [03:35] this sux [03:35] ouyes: yep, I am [03:35] PlasmaSheep, paste the output from $ [03:35] i lost use of my computer for 2 days upon installation, all i was getting was the Grub error [03:35] ouyes: PlasmaSheep yes :) paste it [03:35] Ok, ill have a look about this nohub [03:35] Justin_`: nohup [03:35] sbilik, so have you determined your wireless card chip? [03:35] Justin_`: in short you just do nohup COMMAND :) [03:35] any gdm for karmic [03:35] Hello, I just created a windows VM in an attempt to update a new Garmin Nuvi with their windows software (Wine didn't work). I'm having problems getting the VM to detect the Garmin via USB. I read that I could pass a USB device to a VM through a RDP connection and tried that as well but now think that just windows rdp 6.1 supports PnP USB passing. (excuse terms used incorrectly please). My question is... can anyone reccomend a === geek is now known as Guest84147 [03:35] give me a command, now i have a terminal window ready . . . [03:35] So its like [03:35] cowbud, his last paste is not complete [03:35] Justin_`: i would say - not use hibernate/suspend untill you get more linux skills learned then. and can attempt a reisntall. a 'fix' of this might be just as hard if not harder then a reinstall [03:36] nohup java -XmX512M server [03:36] Justin_`: yep [03:36] denisp12: : i would say - not use hibernate/suspend untill you get more linux skills learned then. and can attempt a reisntall. a 'fix' of this might be just as hard if not harder then a reinstall [03:36] wrong nick. :P [03:36] Noticed :) [03:36] thanks i agree [03:36] denisp12: there is no 'magical one command' to fix it. [03:36] denisp12 ittl have to be unmounted and resized.... livecd + gparted easiest way 4 u i guess... [03:36] anyone have a better way to et USB to work in a VM [03:36] I wonder if hibernate/suspend can use more then 1 swap partition... [03:36] gibberish again iflema [03:37] sbilik, do you know how to ? just run sudo lspci -nnk in the terminal, then try to find all the info related to wireless [03:37] sbilik, and give us a detail here [03:37] denisp12: time to learn more linux basics then untill its not gibberish.. or try to do a reinstall. [03:37] so sorry to be such a difficult user [03:37] cowbud: reinstalling deluge atm [03:37] denisp12: reinstall or 'resize' the existing partitions. are the 2 options [03:37] ouyes: It was a broadcom 4309 [03:37] cowbud: and... error. [03:37] denisp12 google gparted livecd... you install cd prob a live cd [03:37] I think the problem is with the getdep repo. [03:38] ouyes: I'm wondering if I need to go the ndisc route [03:38] i will some day i guess but in the meantime, no sleeping for my computer [03:38] cowbud: I think if I remove it it won't cause a problem. [03:38] PlasmaSheep: paste the following command 'dpkg -l deluge*' [03:38] * iflema yahoo [03:38] i installed with a cd [03:38] sbilik, no i need very specified info, just run lspci -nnk and [03:38] ouyes: sorry, I can't at the moment. [03:39] http://pastebin.com/m2bcabf67 cowbud [03:39] 550 Create directory operation failed. << I get that when trying to transfer files to my home directory. why? [03:39] ouyes: is there specific fields I should key in on? [03:39] ]]permissions [03:40] !permissions [03:40] An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [03:40] sbilik, ah,i donot think so and what encript i know, two ways here , you need a correct driver [03:40] cowbud: keep in mind that's after apt-get install deluge [03:40] ouyes: you mean the windows driver, right? [03:40] sbilik, ah,i donot think so and what encrypt method your router using. i know, two ways here , you need a correct driver [03:40] PlasmaSheep: ok dpkg --purge --force-all deluge deluge-core deluge-gtk you have mixed version of packages that is why one says GETDEB in the name [03:41] i googled but do not understand the options and am afraid of messing up my Ubuntu partition [03:41] ouyes: encryption is off on the router [03:41] done [03:41] cowbud: done [03:41] ouyes: right now the laptop doesn't see any wireless right now. [03:41] sbilik, no of course not , we have a lot good drive for you , no windows here [03:41] please know that i still have vista somewhere on that laptop as well [03:41] PlasmaSheep: did it complete correctly? if so give apt-get install deluge a try now [03:41] ouyes: it fails to notice that wireless is even there [03:41] cowbud: done, now when doing the -l command it gives me a list, but with no version numbers or descriptions [03:42] cowbud: doing it now [03:42] plus, i have 3 other backup hard disk on USB cables [03:42] PlasmaSheep: fyi your getdeb version is no higher than the actual ubuntu version [03:42] sbilik, maybe you need to change to another channel, some old wireless card does not support all the channels [03:42] join #ubuntu+1 [03:42] you were very helpful so far dr willis and iflema [03:42] cowbud: completed without an error. Many thanks. [03:42] sbilik, what is the iwlist scanning output? [03:42] ouyes: the one route I haven't tried yet is the bcm43xx-fwcutter path. [03:42] PlasmaSheep: just out of curiosity can I see your dpkg -l deluge* command now? as in paste that again [03:43] PlasmaSheep: and do you understand what happened? You had two ubuntu packages that depended on deluge-core which was a none ubuntu packages [03:43] cowbud: http://pastebin.com/m6d164fa4 [03:43] i am not sure what time it is in your country but here it is getting late, 22h45 [03:43] sbilik, reboot to ubuntu otherwise we can do nothing but chatting here [03:43] sbilik, ok [03:44] hi i'm back i read the guide about tunneling ff through ssh but i got a question- once the ssh readches the remove server which should gather the webpage and send it back to me, how is supposed the server to gather it? i mean, shouldn't it run some kind of daemon to resolve http petitions sent by ssh , and a user agent to download http requestes and send em back to the ssh socket? [03:44] cowbud: I understand, thanks for the help. I'll remember next time this happens. [03:44] ouyes: let me see if it has charged up enough these past few hours... [03:44] PlasmaSheep: alright so now you have the more up to date version from karmic (their version numbers are higher) I suggest just removing the getdeb repo from your apt list. Also on a huge side note I would HIGHLY recommend transmission it rocks :) [03:44] PlasmaSheep, is that all? [03:44] When I boot up Ubuntu, It asks for a Keyring password to connect to the internet (madwifi). Is there a way I can make it so I don't have to type in my account password? [03:45] sbilik, it wont [03:45] I'm trying to connect to my network on an EEEPC 900, and it says unable to find IP, keep in mind I am using wicd [03:45] sbilik, since you did nothing in the past few hours [03:45] Justin_`: the keyring password is not the same as the account password. [03:45] Justin_`: you can set a blank keyring password [03:45] Justin_`: it shouldve unlocked the keyring when you logged in if the passwords match... or do you have automatic login turned on? [03:45] ouyes: I just mean that I want to bring it local [03:45] Automatic login on [03:46] sbilik, there is little luck in computer world, we need practice [03:46] thanks eveyone for your help, good night now [03:46] sbilik, how far it is ? [03:46] Justin_`: ok, acknowledging that this is rather insecure... if you go to applications -> accessories -> passwords & encryption keys, and go to the "login keyring" you can reset the password to blank [03:46] ouyes: it's full now [03:46] Justin_`: the keyring password is NOT the same as your users password - I got a video of how to 'reset' the keyring password tobe empty so it never asks [03:46] Justin_`: and then it shouldnt ask [03:46] Justin_`: http://drop.io/dr_willis has a video... [03:46] ouyes: so what params for iwlist? [03:47] sbilik, reboot to ubuntu ,then it will be passible for us to fix it and make it work [03:47] Justin_`: the 'trick' is the right click menujs in that passwords & keys tool. its often overlooked. [03:47] ouyes: one moment while she reboots [03:47] sbilik, first you have to find the interface name of your wireless, use ifconfig -a [03:47] Ok [03:48] ouyes: am I going to have to have a dedicated ethernet wired connection to make it work? [03:48] ouyes: to download new drivers? [03:48] #quit [03:48] whats the command to quit from here? [03:48] sbilik, she? you have another lap or another people's issue [03:48] how would i put a new command in the menu that appears when i right-click on my gnome desktop? [03:48] The keyring is needed for /bin/nm_applet [03:48] sound config?? [03:48] help pleas [03:48] candy: try /quit [03:49] Hey there [03:49] ouyes: ok, I have a terminal up on a fresh reboot [03:49] /usr/bin/nm-applet * [03:49] LizardK|ng: gnome file manager has a context menu/scripting feature [03:49] sbilik, you just have the connection with this channel, you can download [03:49] ouyes: "she" meaning the laptop [03:49] ouyes: my irc channel is on another computer [03:49] sbilik, it will be definite [03:49] ouyes: separate from the broken wireless laptop [03:49] I'm running crunchbang distro :D [03:49] LizardK|ng: Just create a script (or a link to a script) in ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/ and it will appear in the right-click scripts sub-menu. (i thknk this is right) [03:49] help [03:50] I love this Linux thing... so much fun. [03:50] duz anyone know about alsa [03:50] how long should it take fsck to check my 750gig drive, something went wrong during an update and now im trying to boot in recovery mode.... seems like it is fsck-ing my drive. How long should it take? [03:50] sbilik, ok [03:50] LizardK|ng: see --> http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/how-do-i-add-context-menu-item-in-gnomenautilus.-557450/ [03:50] also how can i boot and skip any disk checks in 9.10, it doesnt seem to give me the option [03:51] ouyes: so what probing CLI command do you want first? [03:51] can someone suggest a video editor for subtitles? [03:51] rahduke: hitting ESC key should skip the file check [03:51] I'm trying to connect to my network on an EEEPC 900, and it says unable to find IP, keep in mind I am using wicd [03:51] Dr_Willis, thanks! [03:51] cowbud, have the issue of Plasma been solved? [03:51] I'm having troubles with running a command in terminal, I keep getting "too many open files in system" error message, no matter how I change the ulimits. [03:51] I am running crunchbang off a USB drive. [03:52] ouyes: yep :) he needed to remove all deluge packages first then install it [03:52] sbilik, i need you first to determine what is the wireless interface of your lap , run ifconfig - a find the wireless interface 's name [03:52] omee66: #crunchbang should be able to help you [03:52] Thanks a lot [03:52] Sorry about this. [03:52] ouyes: it only shows eth1 and the loopback if [03:53] how do i lock an SFTP user to his directory? [03:53] sbilik, ah , you do not have the right driver, [03:53] sometimes, linux is far more complicated than it needs to be; i just want to be able to open a terminal by right-clicking on my desktop, and i have to write a script do to it and link it to a directory in a hidden directory? thats a bit ridiculous... [03:53] to do it [03:53] Anyone familiar with how I can use avidemux to make sound louder? [03:54] ouyes: but lspci -nnk shows the controller and kernel module ssb [03:54] do I need vsftpd for ssh SFTP access? [03:54] sbilik, sudo lspci -nnk try to find the info of wireless card, i need all the information [03:55] ouyes: Network controller [0280] Broadcom BCM4309 802.11a/b/g [03:55] ouyes: [1434:4324] (rev 03) [03:55] Dravekx: SFTP and FTPS are completely different [03:55] sbilik, that is all ? [03:55] Dravekx: SFTP has nothing to do with FTP [03:55] Dravekx: if you want SFTP access on your server, install openssh-server [03:55] ouyes: yes [03:56] jayvee, I have openssh server installed, so do I really need vsftpd? [03:56] sbilik, wait a moment and ill find you a proper driver, be patient and take your time [03:56] ouyes: was there something else you were looking for in those lines? [03:56] Dravekx: No. You're already ready for SFTP. Just start using SFTP now. [03:56] sweet!!! thanks [03:56] Dravekx: I don't recommend FTP. It's insecure. [03:56] I'm trying to connect to my network on an EEEPC 900, and it says unable to find IP, keep in mind I am using wicd [03:57] S before FTP means Secure... IMHO... [03:57] sbilik, nope [03:58] how do I remove an app I've installed? [03:58] ouyes: I think this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=405552 might help [03:58] sudo apt-remove? [03:58] apt-get remove [03:58] ahhh [03:58] or apt-get autoremove if you want to remove dependencies too [03:58] which in most cases you will [03:59] yes.. apt will always tell you if you have useless deps after any install/removal [03:59] LizardK|ng: there is some deb that adds just that feature... [04:00] can someone suggest a video editor for subtitles? [04:00] LizardK|ng: so its allready been done.. i saw it in the 'ubuntu-tweak' tweaker tool [04:00] I have a bridge question.. I have two virtual machines (kvm) successfully connected to my network through a bridge. They both have router IPs 192.168.1.50/51, they can ping every host on my network, every host can ping them, but they can't ping each other.. Any idea how i would troubleshoot this? [04:00] please! [04:00] sbilik, it seems you have a very old laptop, [04:00] Alan502, why not softcode?? i hate hardcoded movies [04:01] be sure you also apt-get --remove (package) [04:01] ouyes: yes, I'm trying to use Ubuntu to extend the life of an old one. Ubuntu works fine on my personal (new) one. [04:01] sbilik, and an old wireless card without supported by broadcom office [04:01] er. [04:01] be sure you also apt-get --purge remove (package) [04:01] to kill the config file [04:01] ouyes: did you look at the link I sent? [04:01] Out_Cold, cause i don't have the minimum idea of what that is! [04:01] sbilik, ok we try to find another driver, run uname -r in the terminal [04:01] Alan502, use vim and vlc to play it back [04:02] !info nautilus-open-terminal [04:02] nautilus-open-terminal (source: nautilus-open-terminal): nautilus plugin for opening terminals in arbitrary local paths.

[04:03] Alan502: ive seen that mentioned in the ffmpeg/mencoder faq/docs befor.. but no idea on a gui tool to do it [04:03] Butch128: is that a brctl bridge? [04:04] LizardK|ng, will that "merge" them in the video? [04:04] sbilik, wait a moment [04:04] Alan502: there's a kde video editor that does subtitles I think. kdenlive [04:04] hey jayvee - yes, but i fixed it!... both had the same mac address === geek is now known as Guest93370 [04:05] Alan502, vlc can play the video and show the subtitles in your srt file [04:05] ... i just copied the Vm's and changed the IPs expecting it to work [04:05] LizardK|ng, i want to upload the video later to youtube [04:05] Butch128: ha ha — that would do it [04:05] my served up pxe / netbooting livecds (looped) worked prior to upgrading to karmic, now none of them do. here's my config, what's wrong with it: http://paste.ubuntu.com/365130/ [04:06] alan, just torrent it [04:06] hi, do you know if it's possible to add volume switches to gnome panel for different alsa channels? (i.e. PCM, PCM Side etc) [04:06] Alan502: then you need to reencode it I imagine. ffmpeg/mencoder can do it - but the subtitlke reabablity on youtube is often very poor [04:06] ouyes: what do you think about trying the bcm43xx-fwcutter path? [04:06] sbilik, play some music, i am trying to find a driver [04:07] anybody here installed xen on ubuntu? [04:07] Alan502: http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?hl=3Den&answer=100079 [04:08] how do i installed the latest version of flash on my 64 bit machine?

[04:15] i'd imagine it will work fine, yes? [04:15] Boyyd: using samba [04:15] deefzi, ttf-mscorefonts-installer is in repos [04:15] i need it to push 1920x1200 as it does under xp [04:15] boyyd: is the windows installation on the same computer or another computer on a network?

[04:16] How do I get my desktop folder back...? [04:16] cowbud, the issue Pla have been properly solved? [04:16] yeah, you'll need a samba client to talk with windows I believe [04:16] !samba | Boyyd [04:16] Boyyd: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[04:17] sbilik, what are you trying to say [04:18] My desktop folder had disappeared and now the home folder is replaced with it....How do I get my desktop folder back?

[04:20] sbilik, since there is no better way, why not give the compat-wireless a try, it wont do any big damage to your os, and if you do not know how to install it you can see the readme file or ill direct you finish the installation [04:20] LinuX2half: check in there that the right desktop folder is specified [04:20] sbilik, you have the kernel [04:20] grkblood remove all other install versions.. if any, make a folder /home/[username]/.mozilla/plugings and extract the following file into it... then (re)start firefox... [04:20] sbilik, 2.6.31-17-generic [04:20] ouyes: I'll do that. Thanks for the pointer. This'll take some time.

[04:21] snayth, vlc should play it [04:21] iflema, i wouldn't suggest installing anything which will be left out of apt :/ === Guest79625 is now known as buster [04:21] deefzi never? [04:21] ouyes: ah, I see. Compatible with the same rev kernel. Thanks. [04:21] sbilik, there is no big difference, if there is any problem during your installation , you can ask me here directly [04:21] I just installed emacs 23.1 and the install went great. However, it seems to have installed with no launcher. Any ideas? [04:22] :< why does docky have to be written in mono? it makes my heart saddened. [04:22] ouyes: I'll have to try this tomorrow. === buster is now known as Guest8744 [04:22] well, in ultimate cases. but i have a 64-bit system and flash is def. made workable with the repository flash-plugins [04:22] Out_Cold; Oh yea - forgot about that - will give that a try. Thanks bunches [04:22] It still doesn't work when I edit the user.dir foler [04:22] snayth: vlc, ffmpeg, depending on the version of the file gstreamer plugin packages. The easiest way is to install ubuntu-restricted-extras [04:22] thanks iflema [04:22] ouyes: did you have any thoughts on the link I sent you earlier? [04:22] deefzi, i often find stuff not in apt... like bleeding edge or no name apps [04:22] LinuX2half: once you make the changes log out and back in [04:22] snayth: or go to ubuntu software center install ubuntu restricted extras and Rhythmbox will play it [04:22] Lunis_: you can use another dock if you don't like mono [04:22] alright... [04:22] ouyes: about using "bcm43xx-fwcutter" ? [04:23] xangua, 'course i can, but wasn't my torrid love affair with docky apparent? ;) [04:23] sbilik, i give it a quick look but i think you maybe have not followed the instructions step by step [04:23] LinuX2half> Try "touch ~/Desktop" [04:23] komputes, I have restricted but Totem came up and complained - I'll just right clk on file and change to VLC Player for default - Should be fine ... [04:24] hey, is there a way to automatically mount windows ntfs partitions when ubuntu boots? preferably a gui way, but cli is fine too [04:24] hey [04:24] Thoven78, Thanks [04:24] Nope, it doesn't work [04:24] Ubuntu is supposed to be accessible [04:24] ouyes: I have some hope that it can be done. I got close with Linux Mint but it couldn't find a hidden ssid, only an open broadcasting one. [04:24] How come I can't access it from the middle of nowhere [04:24] The desktop folder is still missing [04:24] snayth, totem IMO sucks... i don't know many that actually keep and use it [04:24] sbilik, so we can try another way , copy the link i gave to you to a file, tomorrow you can referent to it if you come across any problem during the installation [04:24] ixian_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently [04:25] did it an easier way [04:25] LinuX2half: did you create the Desktop folder in your Home folder? [04:25] LinuX2half> Then I don't know..sorry [04:25] sbilik, you even find the ssid? [04:25] i just did a force--architecture on the newest deb [04:25] ixian_: automatically would imply you diont need a gui or cli. :) add a proper entry in the fstab and it will mount properly [04:25] ouyes: will do. Like I said, I'll try it tomorrow. [04:25] komputer: No, I suppose not... [04:25] sbilik, just can not make a connection [04:25] Out_Cold: Yea you got that right. [04:25] ouyes: on Mint it can connect to open wifi [04:25] LinuX2half: you must do that [04:25] !ntfs-3g | ixian_ [04:25] ixian_: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [04:25] komputer: I'm not sure of how to accomplish that. [04:26] ouyes: but on Ubuntu it didn't even activate the Broadcom wifi [04:26] komputer: I can only create folders or documents [04:26] oops [04:26] LinuX2half: Create a folder in your home folder, name it Desktop [04:26] ouyes: on Mint it recognized and downloaded the proprietary driver and I could activate it. [04:26] > hey has anyone thought about trying some rigorous conceptual reverse-engineering of Microsoft Live ID and Microsoft Passport, to extract some exacting but generallly non-patent-constrained principles represented in the design and implementation of as much? [04:26] ouyes: on Ubuntu it's like it's not even there. [04:27] LinuX2half: file> new folder [04:27] !tab > LinuX2half [04:27] LinuX2half, please see my private message [04:27] sbilik, ok mate, try it tomorrow, ubuntu is good, but it need more improvement about hard driver support. also you really have a very old lap [04:27] I mean, there's gotta be *something* in it that can be of use to the FOSS side of the design/development/deployment domain [04:27] so I was thinking. and maybe it could be fun too [04:27] if it was open enough! [04:27] How do I edit the /etc/passwd file? [04:27] sbilik, mint uses restricted drivers that a pure ubuntu release doesn't install because of GPL [04:27] where can i got for ssh settings? [04:27] sbilik: in orther to activate the broadcom wifi your computer has to be connected through the internet [04:27] newk Dr_Willis thanks [04:27] ouyes: yeah, the laptop is fairly old === aperson is now known as APERSON [04:28] gimbal: reverse engineering is illegal and offtopic in this channel [04:28] asked in #linpeople and #redhat so far, but then it came to mind that #ubuntu would be ... [04:28] How do I edit the /etc/passwd file? [04:28] man wtf if a directory is 775 and i'm in the group that owns it, why can't i create directories inside it? [04:28] idleone: I think you missed my meaning [04:28] Thoven78: at the time I was doing the updates, it was hardwired to the internet [04:28] sbilik, after your try tomorrow, if you see me online, give me a message about the result., wo done here and good luck [04:28] IdleOne: I'm not talking about decompling exact software applications, conceptually nor literally [04:28] snayth> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766683 at the end of this tut it tells you how to fix the totem thing [04:28] gimbal: no I didn't. this is ubuntu support channel. so your question is offtopic [04:28] Out_Cold: yes, I'm aware of the difference in philosophy [04:28] komputer: okay, I've created a new file in the desktop folder. [04:28] IdleOne: what I am talking about is, in fact, perfectly legal, if we haven't gone so far as to ,.... [04:29] gimbal, k, i'll bite. what's MSN/Live got that isn't already implemented in the world of FOSS? [04:29] IdleOne: ugh. big ugh, dude [04:29] ouyes: thanks for the pointers [04:29] alright so this is the wrong platform to ask it about [04:29] is what I'm getting [04:29] gimbal: #ubuntu-offtopic is open for chat [04:29] IdleOne: aight, got it, thanks [04:29] welcome [04:30] Is there a way I can view all the packages that I am able to download? [04:30] komputer: then what happens next? [04:30] ...if we haven't gone so far as to have thought pollice. which is off topic indeed :) [04:30] sbilik, you are welcome, actually i did nothing, but you help youself, i just walk the way with you [04:30] * gimbal is used to the #linpeople ambiance [04:30] sorries, going to go chew the cud for a minute [04:30] Justin_`, in command line or synaptic? [04:30] Out_Cold: I forgot which site is a good place to temporarily post a screen capture - What do you use? [04:30] any [04:30] Anybody knows why Evolution doesn't open links?

[04:31] ouyes: my original question was: if I can't get it working stable-y, what PCMCIA cards would suffice with broad linux support [04:31] be right back. [04:31] ouyes: the only reply I got was Atheros chipsets work well. [04:31] can someone please help me get two keys from my keyboard back working in ubuntu? [04:32] Newk, which version? [04:32] Justin_`: what are you trying to acomplish? theres several 10,000x+ packages you COULD download. [04:32] karmic [04:32] Dr_Willis, mine last said 28k [04:32] I want to see if there is a package to unrar .rar files (winrar) [04:32] sbilik: i already answered that [04:32] !unrar | Justin_` [04:32] Justin_`: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [04:32] Justin_`, go in the admin menu and look for synaptic [04:32] sbilik: is there something wrong with atheros for you? [04:32] sbilik, whose replay, he meant Atheros were recommended, but not only, [04:32] komputer: Great, it worked. I've repeated the steps that you announce. Thanks for the help. [04:33] ouyes: it was mine [04:33] Be seeing ya... [04:33] LinuX2half: sorry for being silent last few mins, glad it worked [04:33] Justin_`: the packlage manager tools have very good search features... [04:33] does ubuntu server edition lack any features that are included in ubuntu desktop version? [04:33] is there no way to copy a very large file via command line and view a progress bar? [04:33] blakkheim: nope, I'll look in that realm. [04:33] Lostinspace_46: Think it still play this file if I do what what you suggested ? Here is Error I got - http://imagebin.org/82505 [04:33] tomatoes7: it comes with a different kernel and no X/gui by default [04:33] tomatoes7, a desktop and any normal gui apps [04:34] tomatoes7: if You want a desktop eventually - use the desktop edition [04:34] tomatoes7, no GUI [04:34] Dr_Willis, unless you want the server kernel :p [04:35] Out_Cold: server kernel is being deprecated I've heard [04:35] then use the desktop edition lol [04:35] Out_Cold: ubuntu 9.10, kernel 2.6.31-18 [04:35] Newk, there used to be a file to change but not sure on 9.10 [04:36] Out_Cold: noy enoy change to the regular kernel (plus they added extended memory addressing) [04:36] Found a bunch of Atheros chipset cards at: http://atheros.rapla.net/ [04:36] komputes, over the 3 gb? [04:37] anyone know how to JAIL openSSH sftp users???? [04:37] Out_Cold: yep, from what I've heard, not experienced personally yet [04:37] Dravekx: What do you mean by that? [04:38] SnakDoc> Hmmm, mplayer should play wma's. Check the tut, maybe totem will work with the info there, however the message looks like it's a file issue [04:38] When I SSH to my Ubuntu (Via Putty on my windows vista laptop) Every line has: WinSCP: this is end-of-file:0 [04:38] Out_Cold: thanx for pointing out anyway [04:38] komputes, i'm using 9.04 i think for server and couldn't get 64 bit going... still can't put out the processing i want [04:38] Newk, i'm still looking bud... just a min [04:38] I am using GNOME, KDE and Xfec in the same computer, by selecting different sessions...that can have any bad effect for performance level? [04:39] Out_Cold: ow thank you :p [04:39] pilif12p, I got rid of vsftpd, and I have access via sftp, but I'm hosting for a couple other people who have user accounts, and I want to jail them in their home directories [04:39] When I SSH to my Ubuntu (Via Putty on my windows vista laptop) Every line has: WinSCP: this is end-of-file:0. Is there any way to fix it? [04:39] Can I change a setting so I can close the lid of my laptop, and lift it back up without having to "unlock" anything? [04:39] Justin_`: sounds like a windows problem [04:40] but if i then ssh with my account 'justin' its fine [04:40] the error only shows on the account 'dangt' [04:40] Hi Dravekx this is actually a multi step process, private message? [04:40] Justin_`: but winscp references a windows program [04:40] humm ok [04:40] Justin_`: I suggest googling that error message or parts of it and seeing what others have seen [04:41] I have a problem. When I close the lid of my laptop, and open it back up, it asks me to unlock my session. Is there a way of sidestepping this? [04:41] Newk, i'm reading up here.. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaKeys should at least be a start.. [04:41] if a directory is 775 and i'm in the group that owns it, why can't i create directories inside it? (pls excuse spam) [04:42] Newk, check out the kernel keycodes and see what you can get [04:42] semitones go to power management. there you should be able to fix that. [04:42] semitones, you have to run gconf-editor to do that I think [04:42] so... [04:42] Harold_parker, you should be able to create new dir. [04:43] why is all of the mythtv packages in the repo still .21? [04:43] Out_Cold: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting was reading that too.. thanks for that other link! [04:43] thanks Out_Cold, thats what i'd reasoned too [04:43] Thoven78: There were settings similar to what I need, but not exactly what I need there :\ [04:43] semitones, run gconf-editor (from a Terminal or thru Alt+F2); [04:43] - in the left tree, select apps > gnome-power-manager > lock; [04:43] - uncheck the options you'll be free of. I unchecked blank_screen and use_screensaver_setting [04:43] sorry [04:43] scott_ino2: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:43] scott_ino2: will that work in xubuntu also? [04:43] here i am testing it on one of my boxes and finally realized i'm using .21 instead of .22 [04:44] semitones, ummm THAT I can't say for certain [04:44] not sure how xfce does that [04:44] Someone please help me see FLASH videos... [04:44] semitones, try it, press Alt+F2 and see if you can do gconf-editor [04:45] Mediaprodigy: install the flashplugin-nonfree package [04:45] Mediaprodigy, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree ? === zz_FeiRuoWa is now known as FeiRuoWa [04:45] scott_ino2: trying that now :) === eddie is now known as Guest43324 [04:46] is there a ubuntu room for apache? === tato is now known as tato42 [04:46] !flash > Mediaprodigy [04:46] Mediaprodigy, please see my private message [04:46] lilzeus-web: there's #httpd [04:46] scott_ino2: only suspend and hibernate were selected, which is strange, since I had music playing the whole time, so I don't think it could have suspended.. heh [04:46] lilzeus-web, there's also #apache [04:47] semitones, i don't think i follow... Alt+f2 should take you to a "run application" dialog [04:47] Where are the UUIDs for the partitions on the HDD for the system stored? [04:47] run gconf-edito in a terminal [04:47] and see what you get [04:47] well, for some reason my websites don't work anymore...and I didn't change anything that I know of [04:47] * hale is away: Gone away for now [04:47] !uuid [04:47] * hale is back. [04:47] To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [04:47] scott_ino2: when I was in the "lock" section, the only ones checked were hibernate and suspend [04:48] scott_ino2: I unchecked suspend, but I don't think my computer was suspended [04:48] !away > hale [04:48] hale, please see my private message [04:48] If used all the instructions listed on this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC/Fixes - But nothing worked [04:48] (eeepc 900) [04:48] I tried installing phpbb and I suspect it may have screwed up my apache [04:48] scott_ino2: so I don't know why it locked [04:48] I've* [04:49] I have to 'register with services' in the #apache room if I want to ask questions?? what is that? [04:49] scott_ino2: ah I found it -- I have both ubuntu and xubuntu sessions. xfce has it's own set of settings I guess, and ignores all of gnome's settings [04:49] semitones, you might need to make sure it's disabled in screensaver as well [04:49] are there no settings for notifyosd?

[04:55] How/where do I do that? [04:55] lilzeus-web: I don't think you need an email.. [04:55] bob_: in a terminal...

I'll give it a try. [04:58] bob_: and it's case sensitive, so SUDO wouldn't work, just sudo [04:58] Got it. Thanks [04:58] lilzeus-web: thats because youia re 'chatting' with the nickserv bot.

[05:07] so, is anyone else using apache? [05:07] lol [05:07] lilzeus-web: lots of people do. [05:07] lilzeus-web: yes i am [05:07] or better yet, phpbb [05:07] lilzeus-web: ask a question [05:08] maco: when i try to install the game it says no application suitable for automatic install [05:08] what kind of application that I can use to remaster my ubuntu? [05:08] !remaster [05:08] Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !live CD? See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization or use tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility [05:08] futurama140: i dont know what that means. ive never used this game [05:08] my served up pxe / netbooting livecds (looped) worked prior to upgrading to karmic, now none of them do. here's my config, what's wrong with my server config: http://paste.ubuntu.com/365130/ [05:09] can anyone help me track down why websites are not working? [05:09] maco: its not just the game, its ANY program i try to install i get that message [05:09] futurama140: you download the installer then you should run teh installer. chmod +x RegnumWhatever then ./RegnumWhatever [05:09] futurama140: its going to be another 10 min download here... :) [05:10] futurama140: how are you normally trying to install stuff? [05:10] lilzeus-web: so you made a site (html? .. Joomla?.. wordpress?) ? [05:10] that is in the form of a question [05:10] futurama140: applications -> software center is giving you that error? [05:10] lilzeus-web: where did you put the files? [05:10] Dr_Willis: i have the installed. i downloaded it earlier today. 700mb. it wont install.

I am trying to run a grafical program as root. I tried gksudo then the program name in Terminal, it thinks about it a moment then show command prompt? [05:12] Dr_Willis: neither RUN nor run are found commands. [05:12] lilzeus-web: where did you put the files? [05:12] futurama140: you are confuseing things... [05:12] Public folder [05:12] my sites USED to work [05:12] maco: i see nothing in the application menu that says "software center" [05:13] futurama140: Hhow did you run the installer? --> somthing like? --> chmod +x RegnumWhatever then ./RegnumWhatever [05:13] lilzeus-web: can you be more specific.. /home//Public folder? or /var/www [05:13] futurama140: what about "add/remove" if you're on an older version of ubuntu? [05:13] futurama140, youre using a netbook? [05:13] maco: im running 9.10. and it does have the add/remove. [05:13] tucemiux: no [05:13] oh well thats a little odd [05:14] Izinucs: home//Public [05:14] Out_Cold are you still around mate? [05:14] 9.10 has Ubuntu software center - instead of the add/remove icon now. :) [05:14] ok so you say everything you try to install gives you an error. and thats with using add/remove? or you're installing some other way? [05:14] or rather home//Public/htdocs [05:14] Harold_parker, half n half [05:14] Dr_Willis: apparently not on futurama140's machine O_o [05:14] Out_Cold if you have a sec would you mind checking this paste, that problem is still driving me mental: [05:14] http://pastebin.com/d378788a2 [05:14] thanks :) [05:15] maco: add/remove shows no prgoram with the name of the game when i search for it in the search box. [05:15] lilzeus-web: put one site in /var/www and the other in /var/www// .. then to access http://localhost [05:15] Greetings [05:15] Does anyone here use DebrisLinux? [05:15] localhost says It Works! [05:15] :) [05:15] futurama140: ok but you said *everything* you try to isntall fails. im asking about the subset of "everything" that does not include that game [05:16] e ae galera [05:16] maco: ive tried double clicking the installer, and i have no idea what the commands are to install using terminal, and i like to know what commands in terminal do before i use them... [05:16] Harold_parker, my first try would be to chmod -r it [05:16] futurama140, what game youre trying to install? you might have to edit your sources files and add a gpg key [05:16] Elzo_Brito: Brazil? [05:16] futurama140, installer for what [05:16] Yo yo yo [05:16] !es | Elzo_Brito [05:16] Elzo_Brito: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [05:17] futurama140: i dont think we can reasonably tell you teh command to install some software we've never seen before. doenst it have a README? [05:17] Izinucs: are you suggesting I move the entire websites to those folders? [05:17] Harold_parker, if that doesn't work then 777 it.... then see what you can deduce from there [05:17] futurama140: whats the name of the installer? [05:17] futurama140: i mean, how do you expect us to know how some random software you found online works? [05:17] maco: the add/remove will let me install things. i just cant install using terminal or by double clicking installers. [05:17] lilzeus-web: that's where apache expects them to be [05:17] futurama140: is the installer not a .deb ? [05:17] futurama140: because thats the only sort of installer thatd work by double clicking [05:18] maco: no its not. :) [05:18] maco: amarok gives me the same error. i have NO programs associated with the file type used by the installers. [05:18] maco: im pretty sure its a sefl installing executable, [05:18] Dr_Willis: O_o [05:18] maco: 4 more min till i have it downloaded. [05:18] maco, youre not helping any, it looks like he's trying to install a game that's not in the repos, you could help out by walking him on installing a deb package or adding the repo to his software list [05:18] file:///home/futurama140/Downloads/RegnumOnlineInstall_32 [05:18] Izinucs: trying to copy them over...its doing something strange [05:19] Out_Cold, that worked. as far as troubleshooting goes, but is of course not the solution [05:19] tucemiux: he claimed *nothing* could be installed. i thought his repositories were broken [05:19] Out_Cold, thanks for looking though :) [05:19] futurama140: then from the termial do a 'chmode +x /home/futurama140/Downloads/RegnumOnlineInstall_32' [05:19] futurama140: then from the termial do a './home/futurama140/Downloads/RegnumOnlineInstall_32' [05:19] !ubuntu [05:19] Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support.

[05:20] Dr_Willis explain what "chmode -x" does? [05:20] Linux-CLI: yep.

Its not supported here === iWolf is now known as iWolf[Away] [05:41] tucemiux: that's kinda a pain.. what's the host? windows or linux? [05:41] Out_Cold [05:41] If you have the answer [05:41] Please PM me [05:41] swapy: sorry, /server, not /connect [05:41] iWolf[Away], maybe file a bug... [05:41] Izinucs, ubuntu is the host, kubuntu is the guest [05:42] tucemiux: okay, thanks for the advice [05:42] Izinucs, I already have the share configured [05:42] while im here, any way of rolling back the ati propritery drivers if not installing from debs ? [05:42] does anyone know how to get a ironkey flash drive to work in ubuntu [05:42] so i've removed, and then reinstalled, firefox... on 3.5.7 now... and yet still the same problem. any other ideas? [05:42] Izinucs, I already have the share configured on the virtual machine settings but how does the networking part work in kubuntu/ubuntu? [05:42] Tucemiux: weird use of vbox. Keeping them pure? [05:42] tucemiux: in kubuntu? [05:43] ok guys let me see [05:43] Izinucs, yes, kubuntu is the guest, my files are on my ubuntu machine [05:43] Zicada: you can force the drive in xorg.conf or uninstall the proprietary driver [05:43] actionparsnip: well all it did was start a nautilus window, but my panel problem remains... [05:43] Greendude: gah [05:43] actionparsnip: yeah i mean like, remove all the libs [05:43] the drm stuff etc [05:43] hy [05:43] nm, i've fixed it now (had to remove my profile entirely) [05:43] on gadmin-oproftpd 530 login incorrect on the virtual user I made its like it doesnt see them at all but it does see me and well the only diff is i have a account on the machine. so I dont know how to make it see the virtual users [05:43] actionparsnip: do you know any command or tool through which I can remove the new panel that I added? [05:44] lots of apps will likely depend on the ati libs after doing so [05:44] actionparsnip, not really, i use ubuntu mainly, i'm just trying out kubuntu, im also going to use kubuntu as a testing platform for appz [05:44] flash etc [05:44] tucemiux: in ubuntu you can point at folder and right mouse click>properties>share .. pretty much the same on kubuntu.. when going from one to the other you'll have to log in the share service when you try to access it [05:44] Zicada: ps -ef | grep frglx and remove the package (if I spelled it wrong then correct it) [05:44] does anyone know how an ironkey flash drive would work with linux [05:45] actionparsnip: hehe im stoked youre trying to help [05:45] Tucemiux: you can have kde and gnome on one system you know and log off then back in to change desktop.. [05:45] actionparsnip: im not trying to rmmod the module tho, im trying to get rid of the files [05:45] Izinucs, excellent! Thanks! I'm going to close this window now, im draining all my laptop's juice, im going virtual, be back in a few === ce_wek is now known as ce_sany [05:45] in some kinda fasion thats easier than deleting all the files manually [05:45] yu know ? [05:45] quick question on new install. Build a new box for file server. Have a drive dedicated for ubuntu install and 2 other drives that I have with a raid 1 connection setup through motherboard. How do I get the raid to work in ubuntu without creating a software raid array? Thanks! [05:45] jake_, ironkey is the encryption used?? [05:45] yes [05:46] may not be supported?? [05:46] greendude: right click on the new panel you added and select Delete this panel [05:46] could i use wine to get it to work [05:46] Bauer17: what raidcontroller [05:46] ? [05:46] Zicada: if you use sudo apt-get --purge remove packagenameheredude then it will remove the fluff [05:46] actionparsnip, ummm... that kinda stuff works only in writing, the real world is a little different, do you know if kubuntu plays nice with a real time kernel in ubuntu studio? I dont want to be the first one to find out [05:46] Thoven78: unfortunately I can't interact with the panel...right click or single click, nothing works [05:46] actionparsnip: yeah but .. it wasnt through debs [05:46] actionparsnip: just the installer [05:46] jake_, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=885167 [05:46] actionparsnip: im 99% sure its not possible [05:47] where is the new panel you created locate? [05:47] if that doesn't work, check back [05:47] Zicada: I believe the installer installs a deb. You could redownload the installer and see if it has an uninstall option [05:47] on a Intel motherboard using the Intel Rapid Recovery Technology [05:48] built into the board [05:48] actionparsnip: i didnt build debs cause it failed horribly [05:48] Bauer17: should pretty much autodetect it [05:48] Bauer17: any actual issue, or just checking beforehand ? [05:48] Tucemiux: not something I've used dude. Can't see why not but what you have is working so I wouldn't try to fix it ;) [05:49] it looks like they are detected, but do I need to do a format on them to get them going... not able to access them, I do have a screenshot if that helps [05:49] Bauer17: well, what fs is the array formatted in now ?

[05:56] swapy: use 'which transmission' [05:56] swapy: yes. [05:56] Most torrent apps have a gui. :) i can think of a few cli based ones [05:56] I'm trying to change the sound the plays when I logout of Ubuntu. But I have 2 problems. I don't know what it is called and I don't know if it has to be a certain length. I do however know the location of it. Can some help me with this [05:56] ok i will type which transmission when it tells me to browse ? am i right?

Anybody wanna help me out? [05:57] test [05:57] ECKTI: what drivers [05:57] swapy: that will show the path to point the browser at. [05:57] I have an ATI Radeon 9250 and I downloaded the drivers [05:57] let me try what you said [05:57] Swapy: so if you want the path to a file you can use which to tell you [05:57] they are saved in my downloads but i dont know how to install them [05:57] swapy: i justy set the default file type for .torrents to be whatever torrent app i want. and i think thats what firefox defaults to [05:58] These are the directions I have to install ::: To install the ATI Proprietary Linux driver using the Automatic option, follow these steps: [05:58] 1. Launch the Terminal Application/Window and navigate to the ATI Proprietary Linux driver download. [05:58] 2. Enter the command sh ./ati-driver-installer-8.28.8.run to launch the ATI Proprietary Linux driver installer. The ATI Proprietary Linux Driver Setup dialog box is displayed. [05:58] ECKTI: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:58] what u mean? what diod i do [05:58] ECKTI: check their site.. if they say that the driver are not compatible with xorg 7.XX then they won't work anyway.. actually check if your card is supported in the current linux driver or if the mention an older driver.. if it's older then it won't work [05:58] Dr_Willis: I think firefox has its own helper apps which you set [05:58] ECKTI: open up a command prompt, cd Downloads; chmod +x ati*; sh ati* --buildpkg Ubuntu/karmic ; sudo dpkg -i *.deb ; done [05:58] swapy: many torrent apps have a setting to 'auto load from' specific directroies also. You can set that up where you just save the .torrent files to thazt location and they will auto start them [05:58] ECKTI: inform me if you get any errors [05:58] i am asking for any program or app many a times i require to browse as for eg in windows i did by going in program files same what is in ubuntu ..?? [05:59] zicada, should i enter everything u said in the above comment starting with cd Downloads? [05:59] Swapy: it will usually be in /usr/bin [05:59] ECKTI: yeah [05:59] swapy: linux binaries can be in different locations. they dont all get tossed in a 'program files' place. [05:59] then type in your pass when asked for it [05:59] ECKTI: with that old of a card, you might just be better off sticking with the built-in open source drivers that come with Ubuntu [06:00] Dr_Willis, ya i have that idea that ubuntu dosent have program files [06:00] one more question [06:00] swapy: windows dosent actually keep everything in 'program files' either. :) [06:00] Swapy: the linux filesystem is a little more complicated as libs for one app can be used in many [06:00] i want to defragment my ntfs drives in linux which porgram will help [06:01] hi i am in live cd mode i cant cd to my flash drive labled /media/MIKES FLASH [06:01] actionparsnip, your answers surely motivate all to use linux now i am getting many problems solved [06:01] the thing is i want to use one of the outputs for my TV and use it as dual monitors [06:01] as I was doing when I had windows running [06:01] swapy: its best to do things like that with windows tools from windows [06:01] hi ppls [06:01] zicada it returned an error [06:01] bash: syntax error near unexpected token `done' [06:01] mikeymoo: linux does't like names with spaces.. so you have to "cd /media/MIK " to get the right syntax [06:01] heh, sorry [06:02] Swapy: np man, makes the world go around [06:02] ECKTI: cut off the ;done [06:02] part [06:02] im too used to using for [06:02] thanks iz [06:02] can someone help me with my problem [06:02] now it says Cant open ati*--buildpkg [06:03] yahoo !! /usr/bin worked :) thanks now i can set path [06:03] Swapy: may help.

You could make a bartpe cd using an xp cd to make a live windows os and defrag there. or use your windows install if you dual boot [06:06] jees, its late [06:06] how do i bring back a desktop panel in gnome when ive removed them all by accident? [06:06] i can only right click [06:06] Zicada: you can defrag ext2 [06:06] hi all this may be off topic but i need help with openoffice, any takers?

[06:08] mostly used for scanning email mate [06:08] Dr_Willis, i mean with more views the 3 views werent so good so i asked [06:08] Swapy: its good for mail servers and samba file servers to protect users whom upload files with virus' [06:08] swapy: i always use list view.. so its not really somtjing i care about.

[06:12] when do i find that? [06:12] swapy: it pays to get organized. :) [06:12] Eckti: press alt+f2 and type it [06:12] ECKTI: now that, is a hard question [06:12] thanks [06:12] !ask | rdunnion [06:12] rdunnion: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily).

[06:21] rahduke: i often edit my /etc/hosts to have the proper ip/machine name. and enable the 'wins' server in my smb.conf seems to help [06:22] rahduke: i think its windows being stupid really.... [06:22] Dr_Willis: I'm not using windows...lol I am using samba but no windows computers on this network [06:22] Lilzeus-web: that is a possibility. Just keep checking back [06:22] this computer will be put on a clients windows network though so i need it to work correctly [06:22] rahduke: if uysing linux to linux - then NFS will be MUCH faster for file transfers [06:23] rahduke: enable the wins server feature perhaps - may help. and set the hosts file to map ip to hostname perhaps [06:23] Rahduke: if you have ssh on them for easy management you can use sshfs [06:23] rahduke: ive also noticed that some wireless routers block samba shareing [06:24] Dr_Willis: both host and client are connected directly to router... [06:24] set up a freakin trust relationship and use ssh [06:24] scp [06:24] etc [06:24] or even sshfs [06:24] Hi, I've got my ~/Desktop on a seperated ntfs partition, now everytime delete something I get a message saying it could not be moved to the trash bin and I have to delete it permanently, how do I fix this?

[06:27] zicada: it will be connected via wifi [06:27] rahduke: all right, then one default location for storing all files in the home is usually the way to go [06:27] no...a single reply will serve my purpose. [06:27] rahduke: figuring out wether it will be the box, or some other box would be step1 [06:27] Lilzeus-web: add an entry in /etc/hosts and the name will resolve to the ip you set [06:28] I already setup PXE booting but i don't now how to run RAM entirely [06:28] @Brendan could you help me.

[06:55] Dr_willis: wow awesome :) [06:56] i'm beginning to think i've found a bug [06:56] having network connection trouble with 9.10 - network works fine on 9.04 but as soon as i install 9.10 on my laptop or desktop, i cannot update/visit webpages etc [06:56] Harold_parker, please file a bug report in launch pad [06:56] * iflema :0 [06:56] actionparsnip: my pidgin got removed and replaced with this Empathy IMer theres no sound here either [06:56] bugs seem to work with linux very well these days [06:56] swapy: if you want to check out a pretty nice network monitor, check out 'iptraf' [06:56] tucemiux are you a bot? [06:56] Razertek: not sure. I ditched firefox ages ago. Try the mozilla ppa it may help [06:56] #httpd people are jerks [06:56] 98% of them [06:56] Igie: do you get any sound from anything? [06:56] ubottu: ot | lilzeus-web, AutoMatony [06:56] lilzeus-web, AutoMatony: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[06:58] Igie: good start. If you rename your mozilla profile in $HOME then rerun so you get a stock profile is it ok? [06:58] Harold_parker, i say in general, if you believe you found a bug then I highly suggest you file a bug report, otherwise the bug will keep on creeping into ubuntu for eternity, the developers in launchpad actually have more activity than users in the forums, from my experience [06:59] OMFG!!!! [06:59] tucemiux once i'm sure i've found a bug i'll definitely report it, thanks [06:59] actionparsnip: I don't have a mozilla file in $HOME [06:59] now Im getting permissions denied for everything. wtf.

O_o [07:00] actionparsnip: yes i found it in $HOME [07:00] AutoMatony: make sure 777 is for others or al [07:00] Igie: rename it [07:00] I go to one place for help and get insults an NO help, get referred to another and its "*still* *not* a support channel" [07:00] actionparsnip: rename it to what? :s === jack is now known as Guest93651 [07:00] can anyone suggest be between vmware and virtualbox [07:01] virtualbox for desktop definitely [07:01] Igie: anything. Jist make it different [07:01] good freaking god, I am just trying to use Ubuntu!! [07:01] tucemiux: lol they actually exist, but no, this ain't a gurl, i just use my mothers netbook :P [07:01] AutoMatony, what user are you using to login to sftp? find out what directory youre in when youre logged in and attempt to create a file [07:01] Lilzeus-web: do you mean a dns resolution so outsiders can access your site? [07:01] LordofKings, vmware if you want to pay, you can try virtualbox for free [07:01] hi, I have a problem, I have installed ubuntu from live CD, now I would like to use "su" command to launch commands I need to be root for, it asks for my password, I enter my user password, but does not work ;) thanks [07:02] hithlain: sudo su - [07:02] Hithlain: use: sudo -s [07:02] actionparsnip: yea, none of the flash stuff works [07:02] oh thanks ;) [07:02] actionparsnip: yes, just like a regular website [07:02] tucemiux: thanks...i started downloading both ubuntu...kubuntu..so virtualbox it is..

Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [07:03] actionparsnip: my websites worked fine a week or so ago, I don't know what happened [07:03] which is better virtualbox or vmware? [07:03] LordofKings, just remember to download virtualbox, dont use apt-get to install it, and download the PUEL version === Guest93651 is now known as sudipta [07:03] my DNS points to my router, my router port forwards to my server, [07:03] Guest93651: try them both - you decide [07:03] Lilzeus-web: then get a free account at no-ip.com and setup your ip as a name there. You will need to port forward if you use a router [07:03] Guest77306: virtualbox, it's open source ! [07:03] I vind vbox much easier to use [07:03] tucemiux: thanks [07:03] also it has seamless mode [07:03] which is pure pure pure win [07:04] yeah it's great [07:04] Igie: sounds like you put your flash plugin in the mozilla folder. Am I right? [07:04] can anyone help me out with network problems on 9.10?

[07:04] actionparsnip: yes I did that when i was running 9.04 few months before this upgrade [07:04] actionparsnip: I don't want to get booted, you don't have to help me with this [07:04] lilzeus-web, sounds like an issue for the forums, you can try #web or try this channel at another time/day [07:05] Does anyone have some further tips for getting favicons working on apache2 with ubuntu? [07:05] Lilzeus-web: ok is the redirection correct with you wan ip? You can check with www.ipchicken.com [07:05] says i am connected however updates do not work and loading websites either doesnt work or takes an eternity [07:05] can u give the link from where i get the vbox for ubuntu 8.04 [07:05] this is on my laptop and desktop - had to reinstall 9.04 on the laptop [07:05] * Harold_parker runs out of the room screaming hysterically [07:05] Igie: then copy the folder from the renamed folder into the current profile folder and rerun the browser [07:06] tucemiux: #web's topic pretty much says my issue is off-topic [07:06] Sudipta: sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose [07:06] thanks though [07:06] actionparsnip: which one is the current profile folder?

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 [07:11] Igie: yep that's the folder which needs the plugin. You will need to make a subfolder in there named: plugins [07:11] ok it seems no one can help me out - is there a better place to ask questions about network isses?

[07:19] MaRLBoRo, it is possible to do what you are trying to do but it requires a little bit of effort, first of all your iPhone needs to be jailbroken then you can use it and configure it to use with ubuntu, apparently you can also use your iPhone as a modem on your laptop, you can access the internet on your laptop using your iPhone--tethering [07:19] it isn't java or java6?

How can I get the 4.1.1 off that page? [07:25] deepheat: does web browsing work on them connected to this same network? [07:26] yeah the problem is with my pc - i have my laptop here too which im using to chat with you. currently using 9.04 on the laptop and network is fine [07:26] edomeda: do they have a download for the newest version? [07:26] it doesnt work on 9.10 [07:26] narretgrez: type Ctrl+W, then search for "multiverse" [07:26] i even installed 9.10 on the laptop at one stage, didnt work either [07:26] nytek_, not on their homepage, but I found it on this getdeb.net, just can't download the debs manually [07:26] deepheat: in a terminal, type telnet google.com 80 [07:27] deepheat: does it say connected to google.com ?

[07:30] it doesnt even connect [07:31] work offline is unticked [07:31] hi there people. if possible I'd like some pointers on the proper way to preform the following : Im currently running debian + vista and using grub as bootmanager. What I'd like to do atm is remove the debian partitions, but I guess the grub config and so on is stored on the debian partition (Im not sure where its stored really). Which would be the proper way to remove grub ? Reason I wanna remove is because I wanna install ubuntu afterw [07:31] deepheat: if you can run update than you dont have an ip [07:31] deepheat: what about putting your eth down then up again [07:31] how to change login screen in gnome? [07:31] edoceo, try reinstalling apturl using synaptic [07:32] edomeda, try reinstalling apturl using synaptic [07:32] freeride: the gdm in 9.10 is not as themable as the old gdm. thers a few tools/themes out for it [07:32] nytek_: he's got a frickin' ip and he's online. he can ping google's DNS, he can ping google.com, and he can't telnet to port 80 at google.com... he's online and he has HTTP connectivity. [07:32] it still doesnt work === The_Thing is now known as AreWeThereYet [07:32] mattias|farm, did you install windows first? [07:32] Dr_Willis what tools for 9.10? [07:32] nytek_: rather he CAN telnet to port 80 at google.com [07:33] nytek_: so its something hosed on his system. === Jeruvy is now known as Jeruvy_ [07:33] tucemiux : yes [07:33] seank: ah, is he running 9.10? [07:33] deepheat: yeah [07:33] yup 9.10 [07:33] freeride: no officail ones.. theres some unofficial. epidermis and --> http://www.webupd8.org/2010/01/gdm2-setup-gets-new-look-and-ubuntu-ppa.html [07:34] deepheat: are you pulling my chain? [07:34] deepheat: when is the last time you updated your system? [07:34] Dr_Willis thanks a lot! :D [07:34] this is a fresh install i downloaded today [07:34] deepheat: have you havent updated it since you installed? [07:34] that would be impossible [07:34] mattias|farm, then you shouldnt have a problem, you can use a gparted cd or ubuntu installation CD to boot into gparted and erase debian's partitions. You can also just use windows CD and fix the master boot record if you only want to use windows but you will have to use gparted or partition magic if you want to use the free space in windows [07:35] because it wont connect to the update server [07:35] deepheat: you're not using any kind of proxy are you? === SportChick is now known as evilessy [07:35] deepheat: sorry, just trying to get the facts straight [07:35] i havent changed anything since i installed === Dominian is now known as Dominoman [07:35] ΕΧΩ ΠΡΟΒΛΗΜΑ ΣΤΟ BOOT MENU [07:35] tucemiux, I did that, firefox launches the apturl and I get an install request, but then the old 4.0.3 is installed.

[07:37] i entered that command but nothing happens [07:37] edomeda, if you really want the newer version just compile the source code yourself [07:38] deepheat: well you telneted to google.com earlier... [07:38] yeah i closed the terminal since then, do i need to run that fix again? [07:38] tucemiux : yeah I plan to use the free space from the partitions currently used by debian for ubuntu. basicly just clean the partions so I dont have any crap laying around (without causing grub going haywire). Is gparted a part of the basic ubuntu install or should I look into this before attempting to remove the partitions? [07:38] what was it [07:39] deepheat: type ifconfig eth0 | grep inet\ addr: [07:39] deepheat: and copy/paste the output in here [07:39] there is no output [07:40] deepheat: grand. what about just ifconfig eth0 ?

On windows the server uses about 62MB Private set memory and 105 MB virtual memory, while CPU usage on average is about 0.5 % of an AMD 5000 2.61 dual core. [08:59] Will i have any significant gains in performance? [08:59] I mean less CPU and RAM usage? [08:59] ...what? [09:00] z3rongod: you need to ask in #windows [09:00] apologies to all - would someone mind tell me why I am getting "cannot send to channel" on two other channels. [09:00] No i mean i want to try it on ubuntu :) [09:00] quietone: which channels?

Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [09:52] cycrosism: i have used gentoo, a lot actually. i know what it takes. [09:52] nexus_: it does that with upgrades, too.

[10:01] politas: You could find out how in #pidgin [10:01] politas: irssi, xchat [10:01] meowkbuntu: one has support for 7za file ;p [10:01] politas: if you want a gui, xchat, if you want a cli, irssi [10:01] * faileas uses lostirc on his gtk systems ;p [10:01] its nice and light [10:01] Ok.

[10:07] lets see if that worked ;p [10:07] nope [10:07] So why do you guys choose gnome and not kde? Is it just about the looks [10:07] ? [10:07] its added, but does nothing [10:07] Hey guys. I need some help regarding my screen resolutions. I've been working on it for like a week now but to no avail. I made a thread but it hasn't really gotten any replies: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1393387 [10:08] nexus_: because kde (4) was long time not stable. that is one reason [10:08] nexus_: eh. i actually use kde, and a custom varient that uses cairodock and openbox === 5EXAAAAAD is now known as Martinp23 [10:08] nexus_: who gives a shit what i or anyone uses? use both and find out which you like better. [10:08] seank: whatch your language [10:08] !language | seank [10:08] seank: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [10:08] nexus_: really though, the nice thing with linux is as you learn to use it, you end up making it your own ;p [10:08] And here's a nother one that didn't really work: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/ubuntu-help/158961-screen-resolution.html [10:08] seank: I would just like to hear from experienced Linux users [10:09] nexus_: :) [10:09] nexus_: the desktop environment eventually isn't that important ;p [10:09] everything has equivilents, you can adjust them almost infintely... [10:10] nexus_: imo the gnome-implementation in ubuntu is much better then the kde-implementatin. if you want to see a good kde-implementation, use opensuse. so ubuntu is mainly focused on gnome (that is my opinion) [10:10] hi, i cant connect to my wifi (WPA2 aes) w/ ubuntu [10:10] the ubuntu 9.10 [10:10] nexus_: well i've been using it for... many years.... and if anyone ever suggests to you one way or the other, its just opinion. i'm encouraging you to try them out yourself... why would you want someone elses opinion on something that is really your own choice? [10:10] hey i just installed 7zip i cant run it whats rong [10:11] meowkbuntu: what does "cant run it" mean? [10:11] Do you guys know if it's posibble to put sabayon's default theme on ubuntu? [10:11] seank, that's like saying "why would you avoid touching a hot stove just because someone else taught you it will hurt". some opinions have value. [10:12] at last [10:12] connection established [10:12] and ubuntu.freeze(4s) [10:12] Thanks Nachturnal [10:12] Nachturnal: uhm... are you serious? [10:12] iceroot: idk what do you think. [10:13] cant run means cant run [10:13] meowkbuntu: usefull detailed so we can help you, i dont like guessing [10:13] Yes. If we don't take other peoples' opinions into account, we're going to waste our time trying EVERYTHING out there. [10:13] Nachturnal: we're referring to desktop environments... not hot stoves.. are you retarded? [10:13] Nachturnal: its all about opinion... entirely subjective. just shut up. [10:13] I have a quick question about 9.10 64bit and wireless cards.... Most of the time the card works and connects (such as now) However, on the same laptop as this one, sitting right next to me running 9.10 64bit, it wont connect. Is there a known problem with the network manager? [10:13] Anyone, guys? The modes in my xorg.conf are not showing up in the Nvidia Server Settings... What should I do?

[10:14] iceroot: cant=wont,=will not=does not etc [10:14] meowkbuntu: erros-message and so on [10:14] Ok so I have a question about apps... If I make a 10 gb partition for ubuntu... Do the applications I install get installed to that partition too? [10:14] nexus_: Yes. [10:15] /nick iflema [10:15] iceroot: i installed p7zip-full. i cant find it in kmenu adn i cant run it in cli [10:15] nexus_, I used to run ubuntu in a 30gig partition, and it never got close to filling up. Granted, I kept all of my music and movies on an external drive so it was easier to swap between windows and linux [10:15] ice no errors [10:15] So what's a smart sized partition so that all upgrades and only a few apps can be installed [10:16] Nachturnal: whatever... he's asking about gnome and kde. out of the 1166 users in here, maybe 3 or 4 will respond with their own opinions... what *value* is that? how much *more* value will it be to just use them for yourself and figure out which *you* prefer. [10:16] meowkbuntu: its not an extra program, just right click on the file you want to extract and choose extract [10:16] nexus_, I would say a 10gig is enough room [10:16] iceroot: no errors. i have been using irc for awhile i know how it works. i gave you what i had === tremmons is now known as iflema [10:16] k this is not good [10:16] ericson: Ok cool that's the type of info I wanted to hear [10:16] meowkbuntu: and that was nothing, sorry [10:17] iceroot: 7zip has a graphicle interface. [10:17] meowkbuntu, no it doesn't [10:17] If I'm runnig ubuntu for more than 12h+ my RAM is gettin used in 100% just by FF tuned on... what's going on? [10:17] turned* [10:17] seank, Then I recommend you use sound logic when providing a reason for the action you recommend to others. While KDE and Gnome may both be worth trying, your provided reasoning is absurd. [10:17] um i can run it in wine adn it does [10:17] nexus_, I'm on a 100gig partition, just because I had the room for the partition, but my other buddy was running in a 20gig, also with more than enough room. [10:17] ARRGGHHHH I don't want to deal with you twice today meowkbuntu [10:17] meowkbuntu: windows-program != linux-program [10:18] Nachturnal: uhh what? you can install both easily. give them both a shot and see which you prefer. how is that "absurd" [10:18] m13e37, FF does seem to have a memory leak or something. I would just close, and then re-open FF and see if that helps. [10:18] if teh windows version of 7zip is graphicle then the linus one is [10:18] just like other apps [10:18] meowkbuntu: no [10:18] Seank just let it go... I see what you mean and I will try them out myself... I am not going to base my decision completly on sow [10:18] which irc app should i use in gnome? [10:18] meowkbuntu, that is not always true. [10:18] meowkbuntu, I love how you think you're right. [10:18] meowkbuntu: as i told you, just choose extract on the file [10:18] ok thanks [10:18] ... Completely on someone elses opinon [10:18] zztop__: Any IRC apps will work regardless of desktop environment. [10:18] zztop__, I personally prefer xchat [10:18] shazbotmcnasty: then dont reply to my questions [10:18] i like mirc in windows [10:18] * knoppies also prefers xchat (in gnome) [10:19] zztop__: try xchat [10:19] knoppies, it didn't helped I just got 100mb ram free... [10:19] Ok thanks everyone im gonna go now [10:19] oh and xchat and deluge are on only [10:19] zztop__, have you tried mirc using wine? or something simialr. [10:19] anyone got a lot of knowledge of wireless cards and network manager? [10:19] i prefer a graphicle interface. is there a linux zip app like that [10:19] m13e37, ok, then you need to see what is using all your ram. [10:19] meowkbuntu, then once again: stop being so rude about your questions [10:19] Nachturnal: .....come on, whys my reasoning "absurd" [10:20] i was sure there was a frount end for 7zip [10:20] zztop__, let me take a look at mirc screenshots to see what might be similar [10:20] meowkbuntu: the one which comes with ubuntu [10:20] seank, check your PM. We need not flood the channel with argument. [10:20] shazbotmcnasty: is on ignore [10:20] iceroot: called [10:21] zztop, I would definitly suggest xchat...it looks quite similar [10:21] meowkbuntu, that I really do not mind [10:21] sort of [10:21] meowkbuntu: dont know, right click on a file and choose archiv/extract to see as told 3 times [10:21] UNISON how to ignore the hidden files in the home-folder?

[10:23] raven, not sure exactly waht you want...do you want to hide the hidden files from view in the home directory altoghether? [10:23] I installed graphic card drivers on my ubuntu 9.10 and now it wont boot. It gets stuck at a blank screen before the login screen, and if I hit a key on the keyboard it comes up with the error: "gave up waiting for root device" [10:23] coz_ i want UNISON to ignore it when checking and synching [10:23] cwe_manis [10:23] hello, can someone help with usb joypad installation please!

[10:24] meowkbuntu: and its nice if all are playing nice [10:24] ardchoille, "ignore = Name {.*} but i need a right syntax for {} [10:24] (you chouldn't need to, but... eh) [10:25] candy: video how to do it at --> http://drop.io/dr_willis [10:25] coz_, system -> administration -> hardware drivers [10:25] ya, nd hive seen d net too. === zztop is now known as tomatoes7 [10:25] candy: theres a menu that people overlook :) [10:25] knoppies, ok and you rebooted apparenlty.... are you at the text console?

I'm trying on Ubuntu Netbook remix but it wont build [10:26] in imap, how would be the standard notation for a folder structure? mainfolder/subfolder or what? [10:26] i wont start anymore [10:26] Dr_Willis, are u sure i will b able to do it from that video?? coz i m a newbie in using ubuntu [10:26] whats teh most compace format of zip in linux [10:26] please help with usb joypad setup [10:26] exaby1e: start it from the cli and paste the error [10:26] ardchoille, until now it's working that way [10:26] candy its trival to changhe.. you just got to find the right menu item. [10:26] after playing a supertux game all of my panel icon got messed up ? how to solve this. [10:26] meowkbuntu, bzip2 (tar cjf for eg) [10:26] meowkbuntu: .rar ? [10:27] knoppies, ok , did it give you any warning that ubuntu is running in low graphics mode? [10:27] ardchoille, have to wait a litte bit to tell about the success [10:27] i've tried that, but i don't get any output [10:27] Dr_Willis, ok let me try [10:27] exaby1e: is there a debug-modus? eclipse --help [10:27] coz_, it might have, dont remember. It wouldnt allow me to enable compiz, and it wouldnt allow me to increase the resolution above 800x600 [10:27] nibbler_: and ardchoille disagree [10:27] i even redownloaded eclipse, but i did'nt help [10:28] exaby1e: why not using the repo-version? sudo apt-get install eclipse [10:28] ey guys, i got a question: when i set root (hd0,5) in grub, it says : filesystem is ext2. But it's ext4. Does anybody have the same problem? i've seen it reported on the net but didn't found any explanation [10:28] knoppies, so you can get onto the Desktop? [10:28] meowkbuntu, well, rar is not really free, and bzip is way more modern, and its the linux standard (besides gnuzip, which is older and not as compact) [10:28] obiwan_: they are backwards comnpatiable.. so to grub they are the same. [10:28] coz_, its a rather new install, the only thing I had set up was x11vnc and apache. I could always reformat. was hoping there was a way to revert to the standard drivers. [10:28] coz_, not anymore, not since I restarted it. [10:28] meowkbuntu, i'd say in this case he is wrong, but his "?" suggests its just an idea :p [10:28] meowkbuntu: nibbler_ has a point there [10:28] obiwan_: at least thats my guess. :) [10:28] it doesn't matter what arguments i enter, nothing happens [10:29] knoppies, ok is this gnome you have as a DE? [10:29] hi [10:29] can someone help with usb joypad please? [10:29] ok Dr_Willis hehe thanks . i'm having troubles loading a distro and i thought that may be the problem. i'll keep trying [10:29] i remember now bzip2 i cant do bzip when rightclicking the file [10:29] cyberebel: plug it in and use it? clarify to the channel what its not doing [10:29] meowkbuntu, look for downloading sourcepackages on sourceforge eg and see what you find they use as a format :p [10:29] im having problem with searching files in subfolders: grep -r doesn't go any deeper than one subfolder to search [10:29] coz_, not sure what DE stands for, but yes Im using gnome. [10:29] nibbler_: how do i do that [10:29] knoppies, in that text console type /etc/init.d/gdm restart or if that doesnt work service gdm restart [10:29] obiwan_: i think if ya look at 'fdisk' /partion types.. ext2/3/4 are the same type. just different format commands to make the fs. [10:29] knoppies, DE stands for Desktop Environment :) [10:29] i pluged it in but its not doing anything [10:29] coz_, thanks, will let you know how it goes. [10:30] So, anyone knowledgeable in palm treo syncing under karmic? [10:30] meowkbuntu, just rightclick, chose compress, chose tar.bz2 as format [10:30] knoppies, well I just want to see if it does go into gdm [10:30] cyberebel: and how are you testing this? Plug it in - chedk dmesg command output... what else have ya tried [10:30] coz_, claims its not found. [10:30] meowkbuntu: bz2 in the menu [10:30] meowkbuntu, by the way, tar.gz would be *the* standard format, which you can unpack on practically *any* unix out there, bzip2 needs a bit more modern systems [10:31] knoppies, if not restart and I belive there is a low graphics mode option in the boot mentu hit esc or shift I believe to see the menu if this is not a dual boot [10:31] I had my treo all set up and syncing perfectly under Intrepid. Then I upgraded to Karmic, and now nothing works from all the instructions I can find. [10:31] coz_, not a duel boot. when do I hit esc or shift? [10:31] knoppies, just as you reboot I believe it should bring up the menu [10:31] Dr Willis (chedk) is that a comand in the terminal? [10:32] cyberebel: plug it in.. run 'dmesg' look at output at bottom [10:32] Dr_Willis: fdisk won't show kind of partition [10:32] uh.... [10:32] ok [10:32] obiwan_: sudo fdisk -l - dont forget the sudo :) [10:32] Dr_Willis: blkid shows it, but it says ext4 :P but it's np [10:32] yeah sudo fdisk -l won't show Dr_Willis [10:32] coz_, it brings up a menu with the items: Ubuntu-linux-2.6.31-17- generic [10:32] im having problem with searching files in subfolders: grep -r doesn't go any deeper than one subfolder to search [10:32] Dr_Willis: but np , i guess that's not the problem [10:33] knoppies, but no option for safe graphics mode? [10:33] coz_, and a recovery mode, and 2.6.31-14 and its recovery mode, no safe graphics mode. [10:33] knoppies, ok let it move forward choose the top most item on the menu [10:33] coz_, I have, and then it goes to where I initially stated my problem. [10:34] knoppies, ok now in that console type nvidia-xconfig [10:34] knoppies, restart the system and tell me if it boots [10:34] Dr_Willis i dont see anything about joypad [10:35] ardchoille, ok seems that every file is ignored - but no folders and a few files [10:35] coz_, nvidia-xconfig not found. [10:35] cyberebel: the ones i got = when i plug them in they mention some /dev/input/js0 or similer.. and i just use them in zsnes fine. No special tweaking needed [10:35] knoppies, ok now type lspci | grep -i vga [10:36] how do i "make" something? [10:36] coz_, this is a busybox terminal and seems to have very few commands, should i try boot it into command line (from the boot menu)? [10:36] knoppies, sure [10:36] i want ssh to another pc, passwd is stored in ldap and shell is set to zsh, but on the server i want to connect to there is no zsh installed. is there a syntax for passwd to set a fallback-shell? [10:37] Anyone know how to get to the Linux mint irc room? [10:37] iceroot: i recall some way to ssh in and run a command.. but never tried it. [10:37] im kinda new to computers sorry i dont no what that means [10:37] Dr_Willis: without a login-shell? [10:37] Dr_Willis: or better, without the installed login-shell? [10:38] iceroot: yea. i seem to recall that in some ssh books/docs/tricks [10:38] nexus_, I am not seeing a linux mint channel did you check on their wiki? [10:38] im having problem with searching files in subfolders: grep -r doesn't go any deeper than one subfolder to search [10:38] coz_, takes me to the same shell. [10:38] knoppies, ok type lspci | grep -i vga [10:38] No but I have been there before and I don't remember how I got there lol [10:38] Dr_Willis: ok, i will do some searching on it [10:38] coz_, not found [10:39] i tried to install eclipse from the repo, but still, it wont start [10:39] no output [10:39] faileas, n e ideas ? [10:39] knoppies, mmm try sudo apt-cache search nvidia-glx [10:39] coz_, sudo not found. [10:39] iceroot: man ssh says -> If command is specified, it is executed on the remote host instead of a login shell. [10:39] Is there any fix for Flash and swf? [10:39] knoppies, do it without sudo [10:40] iceroot: ssh bill@whever bash [10:40] perhaps :) [10:40] !flash | tarvid [10:40] tarvid: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [10:40] Dr_Willis: yes, that sounds good [10:40] coz_, Im starting to think that a complete reformat might be my easiest option. I got /home on a seperate partition (although, not sure how to set that up while installing the new OS) [10:40] ssh willis@server df -h [10:40] Flash is installed but hangs on some websites [10:40] ribot, investigate the use of "find" [10:40] :) [10:40] knoppies, mm ok I may not be the best person for that configuration... [10:41] for the people who're comming to FOSDEM next weekend: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fosdem/2010 [10:41] hey, can an UDF disc be read on Ubuntu ? [10:41] coz_, ok, thanks for your help. It seems as though the recovery console doesnt support enough commands. [10:41] iceroot: bash might not work right it seems.. you might need to change the shell that way however [10:41] when i type "make" is says make: *** No rule to make target `/usr/src/linux-2.6/include/linux/irda.h', needed by `irda-usb.o'. Stop. [10:41] knoppies: Point the path to /home on different hdd (sdX). Don't format. [10:41] any ideas on the eclipse problem? [10:41] Dr_Willis: yes, of course [10:41] iceroot: heh - it does SORT of work. I get a bash shell.. but no prompt [10:41] knoppies, ok talk with someone here about your home dirctory and setting up the system [10:41] iceroot: so its a little weird [10:41] kinja-sheep, I dont understand. [10:42] coz_, yea I will, thanks [10:42] Dr_Willis: same here [10:42] kinja-sheep, I have 3 partitions on the disk, one for / one for /home and one for swap. [10:42] kinja-sheep, if I want to reformat and reinstall ubuntu on / how do I tell the installer to use the other partition for /home? [10:42] iceroot: ssh willis@server mc --> dont work right either. :) guess its for simple commands/non interative stuff mainly [10:42] Jenk, not sure read this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224983 [10:43] knoppies, sorry I couldnt be more helpful [10:43] Dr_Willis: yes, its like rsh [10:43] coz_, no problem, thanks anyway. === papul_ is now known as papul [10:43] Dr_Willis: so maybe its not a good idea to have zsh in passwd on a ldap-based passwd :) [10:44] knoppies: You don't reformat everything on the HDD. You reformat the / since the partitions are already created. Meh, you will have to use LiveCD and get the idea. [10:44] Dr_Willis thanks for the help anyway :) [10:44] knoppies: When you pop in the disc, you should see the existing partitions. From there, you work with it. When it comes to home partition, point it to the correct partition (and path). [10:44] Jenk, http://www.bitwizard.nl/udf/ [10:44] kinja-sheep, I use a netboot disk and then point it to an apache server on my network with the alternate install disc on it. === AndChat is now known as Guest95829 [10:44] kinja-sheep, I will try that though. [10:45] coz_, thanks, i've been there b4, tried all d options bt it doesn't work... [10:45] Jenk, or : http://lmgtfy.com/?q=ubuntu+udf [10:45] Jenk, damn...

[10:47] ext3 or 4?? [10:47] coz_, i've gone thru bug reports, trolled google, but no help.. i get dis error, invalid mount option when attempting to mount 'UDF Volume'. [10:47] Jenk, also worth noting : windows cd/dvd creator via explorer does not create standard UDF discs. [10:47] Jenk, that last link from airtonix seems to be something to read [10:47] candy, ext3 is more stable. but Im not sure myself. [10:48] candy, I used ext4, seemed fine. But now my ubuntu wont boot after I installed graphics drivers, but I think that is something else entirely, and not related to the format. [10:48] airtonix, i've gone thru dat, changed the order of options... it doesn't work. [10:48] knoppies, i m doing ext3 [10:49] candy, Im gonna use ext3 on my reformat as well. [10:49] knoppies, okeis [10:50] Jenk, sorry, i thought UDf was for dvd discs not dat tapes/ [10:50] airtonix, k, bt n e oda ideas ?

[10:53] how do I set up a mail server, for home network? I've got no experience and reading postfix and dovecot has not helped me. I can send/rcv to my self, but want to change the domain. [10:53] Jenk, don't confuse my suggestions of urls to visit as a sign that I have any idea of the deeper workings with regards to UDF on linux. You didn't mention that you'd already investigated certain pathways so I took the liberty of providing the basics of google for you [10:53] is ircii a dead project? [10:54] quietone: check in /etc/postfix/main.cf [10:54] quietone: read at postfix.org [10:54] silverraindog: and llutz: I have done both and it isn't working for me. [10:54] I mean that reading it isn't helping me to understand or to make the changes I want. [10:54] quietone: then ask at #postfix, maybe give some more details than" does not work" [10:55] tried #postfix. how can I change the domain name? [10:56] anyone knows the _best_ method to install on a encrypted root partition? how about the boot partition, can that be encrypted too? [10:56] quietone:see postfix address rewriting at postfix.org [10:57] quietone: in main.cf there is something called myhostname [10:57] quietone: change that [10:57] how can i record something from the sound card easily?????? will it be better idea to do it on windows on another computer????? [10:58] Jenk, just a wild shot... have you bothered to try using nero for linux to read the udf disc? [10:58] quietone: the thing is, running a mailserver is a very complex job. you have to read and more important, to understand what you're doing [10:58] I just plug in to the sound in and use th record tool.. but last i did that was.. proberly 2 yrs ago :) [10:58] hamzaatova2, Aplications > Sound & Video > Sound Recorder [10:59] hi, if anyone have problems with network-manager, thery have channel #nm [10:59] airtonix, no, d dvd was burnt in Vista nd it doesn't open up here... 9.04 [10:59] just wanted to tell [10:59] quietone: we don't need more spam-relays on the net, driven by unexperienced admins [10:59] smvrglc, but how do i record from the soundcard and from myspace????

Version 0.3.8.1-0ubuntu1 (karmic), package size 52 kB, installed size 148 kB [10:59] Jenk, so you have not bothered to try and use nero for linux to mount the udf disc and convert it to a proper ISO ? [11:00] Dr_Willis, let say ive installed it-- how to use it????? [11:00] llutz: have I done something wrong? what is a spam-relay? [11:01] airtonix, no hav neva heard dat der was a nero 4 linux bt s u say, i'll giv it a shot... [11:01] quietone: look for a web gui for postfix [11:01] airtonix: Brasero will do the same job and it is installed by default... [11:01] Jenk, btw i find your mangling of the english language to be offensive [11:01] quietone: a misconfigured mailserver misused by spammers. you should read more about postfix to prevent your server becoming a spam-relay [11:01] * airtonix quietly rages [11:02] llutz: my server will not be going past our router. it is only for the home. [11:03] airtonix, i've injured my hands and am typing using a pen in my mouth, the economics of typing dictate that it is easier to type short.... [11:04] could someone tell me how to unzip this file Dark_linux_0_5_by_metak.gz properly to /usr/share/themes [11:04] Jenk, I'm sorry you'll have to talk to another waiter if you want to order a different argument. [11:04] zilkomaa: You can unzip it in ~/.themes [11:04] zilkomaa: you could just go to the appeaances tool and drag/drop it on the tool to install it to the users themes directory [11:04] zilkomaa, could you link me to the theme [11:04] Jenk, that was my last idea : use nero for linux. all out of ideas [11:05] Thank you guys, here is the link: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Dark-linux?content=118548 [11:05] how do i enable direct 3d rendering in xubuntu 9.10 ?

[11:07] zilkomaa: or just download/drag/drop to the 'appeaarance' tool [11:07] zilkomaa, then open that folder... right click on the "Dark-linux 0.5 folder and "Compress" then drag that compressed file on the the window of system/preferences/appearacne [11:07] /msg NickServ identify rootz09 [11:07] i dont know why people dont dont package some of these themes properly [11:08] airtonix, thanks, will get back later if i can... gtg ;-) !

[11:09] zilkomaa, did you get all of that? [11:09] coz_: i found a neat tool called 'gstyle' that lets you grab themes real easy :) better then gnome-artng i think [11:09] anyone knows the _best_ method to install on a encrypted root partition? [11:09] Dr_Willis, mm looking for it now :) [11:10] I really like Ubuntu, but I need to solve some display problems first. May I ask? [11:10] menashe, shoot [11:10] menashe: Go ahead. [11:10] i have few questions regarding UNetbootin. pm me some1 [11:11] kakak, why? just ask the questions here... collective repsonses will help you [11:11] was wondering about gadmin-proftpd I cant figure out why its not remembering virtual users they always get a 530 incorrect login? [11:11] coz_: yea it would be nice if they would have some ubuntu tools for this. and pick a few dozen+ (or 100) top themes :) not all the trashy ones they got === Bravewolf_ is now known as Bravewolf [11:12] Dr_Willis, trying gstyle now [11:12] having a problem setting up dns logging cant some one take a look at my loogging part of /etc/bind/named.conf.local - http://pastebin.com/m1e26d32 [11:12] Thank you both! In Gnome I have a problem that if I choose to have a display only on the external monitor and not on the laptop, it fails. If I use the same settings but allow also the laptop, the external monitor is working fine [11:12] I have ubuntu 9.10 [11:12] Hello, I installed ubuntu-server, the interface is a wlan-stick and the network is wpa2, where and how do I set it up? [11:13] knoppies, ext4 is just ok, stable [11:13] zilkomaa, did that work for you? [11:13] i understand it's a strange question, but how to create router in my ubuntu? [11:13] Dr_Willis: where would I find gstyle? [11:13] ouyes, thanks. but my machine wont boot Im im not sure what caused it to go that way. Last thing I did on it was install graphics drivers. [11:14] ardchoille: i saw it at that web8 blog.. let me find the url [11:14] http://www.webupd8.org/2010/01/try-gstyle-project-new-gnome-theme.html [11:14] Dr_Willis: Thanks! [11:14] firefly2: would it not be in /etc/network/interfaces [11:14] ardchoille: it seems to work much better then the gnome-art and gnome-artng tools [11:15] freeride, using iptables and masquerade [11:15] zilkomaa, that is a "decent" dark theme but here are many others more or less better [11:15] airtoni thanks :) [11:15] coz_: no i unzipped there comes one folder and 3 gzip files ? [11:15] airtonix pm! [11:15] kakak, no thanks. [11:15] why does he says about with us??????? “Memory is the diary that we all carry about with us” [11:15] zilkomaa, right now in that unzipped folder there is a folder named dark linux right? [11:16] coz_: yes Dark-linux 0.5 [11:16] techtronic, I looked there the line says wep and it doesn't connect to the router [11:16] zilkomaa, ok right click that folder and choose "Compress" [11:16] ardchoille: in the 'full themes' tab it has stuff it can download.. but its not listing everything at gnome-look - which is good in ways. :) [11:16] hamzaatova2, despite my personal opinion on the use of the english language and grammer this is not the channel for discussion of its use [11:16] zilkomaa, tell me when that is done [11:16] coz_: ok, window appears [11:17] coz_: to gzip the folder or something? [11:17] zilkomaa, tar.gz that folder yes [11:17] coz_: k.. [11:17] airtonix, it was for another channel [11:17] zilkomaa, then you should get a dark linux .tar.gz [11:17] hamzaatova2, although I admire your desire to understand various pecularities in the english language [11:18] coz_: yes its done now.. [11:18] And under KDE, I can see only the lower part of the screen, both in the laptop and in the external screen, no matter which display settings I choose. Also in xterm mode. I cannot even lower the windows and reach their menus. [11:18] zilkomaa, ok now open system/preferences/appearance and drag that new .tar.gz onto the appearance window [11:18] Dr_Willis: This is quite nice [11:19] zilkomaa, it should install and ask if you want to apply the new theme [11:19] Dr_Willis, is this the correct page for instructions on installing gstyle ? ( http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1389711 ) [11:20] coz_: yes it asked but nothing happend? [11:20] zilkomaa, did you click Apply theme [11:20] airtonix: that would be for teh svn i guess. i just used the source [11:20] http://www.webupd8.org/2010/01/try-gstyle-project-new-gnome-theme.html [11:20] coz_: yes.. [11:21] coz_: maybe there is something missing that that tar file [11:21] * soreau clicks on coz_ [11:21] zilkomaa, with the appearance window opened click the "Customize" button at the bottom and go to the "Controls" tab [11:21] zilkomaa, in that list see if Dark Linux is listed [11:21] coz_: yes it is there but i can only delete it? [11:22] zilkomaa, can you click on the words Dark linux [11:22] * soreau double clicks on coz_ [11:23] how come each new ubuntu release is pretty much the same? is it because the desktop it uses? [11:23] zilkomaa, if that doesnt work log off and back on or restart x to see if the theme is recognized and used...some systems for some reason do not change the theme imediately [11:23] coz_: ok ill try restart brb! [11:23] balsaq: Same how? [11:23] in grub boot loader i can't get into windows, it just restarts the computer. how can i fix it? [11:23] zilkomaa: thats what peole dont realize ; a theme is made of 'parts' not all themes are actually a full theme. :) [11:24] kinja-sheep, looks pretty much the same, almost no difference [11:24] balsaq and it goes on a cdrom... install stuff [11:24] balsaq: Ubuntu officially uses gnome as the default Desktop Environment. There are other options however, such as xfce, kde and lxde [11:24] Dr_Willis: yea..i noticed when i unzipped that theme file [11:24] i use xfce [11:24] balsaq: Do you use xubuntu? [11:25] soreau, yep [11:25] balsaq: Then maybe you should try asking in #xubuntu or #xfce why they dont change their look [11:26] !wiki webcam [11:26] soreau, its all ubuntu lol just different DE [11:26] !webcam [11:26] Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [11:26] spend dozens of man days making 'art' for the next relese.. then they change it the release after that. :) [11:26] Dr_Willis: thanks you :) [11:26] balsaq: The reality is, in linux, each user can customize their desktop to be what they want it to be. The default look for each de is typically the same [11:26] and the third question: How can I configure my Ubuntu to not sleep if I close the lid of my Thinkpad laptop, but simply ignore it. I'm using an external display [11:27] What soreau said... [11:27] balsaq: Ubuntu is not a true rolling release. [11:27] menashe, you can remove power manager and then there will be no way it will sleep lol [11:27] kinja-sheep, thats a good thing, right? [11:27] kinja-sheep, what does rolling release mean? [11:28] balsaq, papul: http://tinyurl.com/2v3lcj [11:29] coz_: haha i did get it work with gtk-chtheme :DD [11:29] zilkomaa, very cool :) [11:29] !latest | balsaq papul [11:29] * soreau clicks frantically on coz_ [11:29] balsaq papul: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest.

[11:46] papul: There are over million sites and tutorials. What are you looking for in particular? [11:46] ubunt, mm I am puzzled also ,,, i am going to suggest going to #alsa channel and hang out there to see if someone has better ideas about this one....out of curiosity...why did you uninstal this in the first place? :) [11:46] kinja-sheep: mozilla has its own repositories? [11:46] iflema, next step will be to remove: tvtime / w-scan / mplayer as i have recently installed those applications, [11:46] hmm .. my gamepad acts as a mouse.. why? [11:46] may anybody pl guide me abt c++ compiling [11:46] kinja-sheep, i am searching [11:47] hyperstream huh? [11:47] iflema, reboot has fixed it [11:47] hyperstream what?

Specifically I need the tcl/tk to build PIL [13:47] i want to see all hdd partitions usage meters and want to launch partitons via click on that icons [13:47] ive only got ubuntu on here windows won't let me install after it crashed [13:47] i want to see all hdd partitions usage meters and want to launch partitons via click on that icon [13:47] i have a question, can we use unicode with irc? [13:47] nobobyknow: yeah, not all clients can read it though [13:47] Snowy09 you can via Wine... but a simpler option is to install PlayonLinux [13:48] swapy: you will need to learn how to configure conky to display that info, then you will need to find out if you can launch applications from conky. This requires effort from you as well [13:48] Snowy09, http://www.playonlinux.com/en/ [13:48] winterweaver: PIL is in the repositories [13:48] swapy: you can't interact with conky, it only displays stuff [13:48] jrib, i am aware, but this is for a sandbox install [13:48] winterweaver: you could use apt-get build-dep to get the prerequisites [13:49] ok i tried cairo but where are settings options [13:49] i want dock on right side [13:49] faileas, thanks that may work... I'll give it a go [13:49] winterweaver you probably need the -dev packages such as tcl8.3-dev and so on [13:49] winterweaver: I don't see why that matters, but if you insist, what faileas said will give you the dependencies for the package in the repositories which are likely to be similar for what you are doing [13:49] Hi all [13:49] swapy: try docky [13:50] swapy: If you want to display hdd info and launch apps from that info, I dont think cairo is what your looking for [13:50] I have problem with user profile [13:50] how to specify user home directory [13:50] Adam-855: you can use « usermod » to change it, but why?

Under Input, make sure you have the correct mic selected, and it's not muted [13:53] xtjacob what seems to be the problem? Can you read ok from the drive? [13:53] jrib: I have .profile file and changed it to my folder and path [13:54] but when try to login with command line didn't put me at default home directory [13:54] Adam-855: what? Do you have a different question now? To specify the home directory of a user see what I said before. Nothing to do with .profile [13:54] Hi, I have a website set up that uses flash to display images and videos in the sidebar of the page. I tarballed the webroot and placed it in /var/www/ on my local machine so that I could test some changes. Everything works except the flash, do I have to do something with my apache server to make it display this? [13:54] mmvv: if i put a disc in it doesn't show up, and k3b doesn't even see that there is a dvd. My dvd-rom reader works fine, but not this one [13:54] how can I get drivers for webcam 0ac8:307b ?

[13:56] kemmotar: yes. [13:56] xtjacob, shouldn't be of issue, but otherwise it might be a hw issue, maybe dmesg may say something about it [13:56] arand: what is grub1? [13:56] if i need to make my home directory another folder what can i do ? [13:56] casinaroyale, grub version 1 [13:57] Adam-855: did you not read what I said before? [13:57] jrib: no write refers to permission ? does it mean there is no write access for user ? [13:57] i did [13:57] Adam-855: and? [13:57] man adduser [13:57] arand: it is 0.97 [13:57] Bodsda, no doesnt help it dosent show detailed view like freespace and used space [13:57] casinaroyale: is 9.10 upgraded from 9.04? In that case grub1, yes =0.97 [13:57] hi all [13:57] and didn't find what i'm looking for [13:57] psycho_oreos: i don't think it could be a hardware issue. I think it worked fine in windoze, but i'll check dmesg [13:57] mmvv: it is a. fla file and no, firefox just tries to download it [13:58] xtjacob, the burner is in master mode right? [13:58] swapy: look in the admin menus, there is an app for checking disk space usage [13:58] hi everyone, any clues installin 3g mf100 modems? [13:58] arand: no, its a fresh 9.04 installation [13:58] Adam-855: read the stuff that says "home" in it.

[13:58] Bodsda so the web server serves up the file ok... [13:58] psycho_oreos: i don't think so, i'll have to check. There is something in dmesg where do you want me to post the output? [13:58] casinaroyale: hmm, then it should be grub2 [13:58] jongbergs: try #freenode [13:58] mmvv: correct [13:58] xtjacob, use pastebin [13:59] alabd: yes [13:59] !pastebin [13:59] 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.

[14:37] julikok : http://jon.oberheide.org/pidgin-rhythmbox/ [14:38] julikoko : http://jon.oberheide.org/pidgin-rhythmbox/ [14:38] cAs, when you insert original movie DVD does it work? [14:38] bitplane which is why I was asking about the windows installation that you mentioned apparently worked [14:38] Hey guy, Can someone tell me how to install xserver-xgl on ubuntu 9.10? [14:38] mmvv, I mean the hardware doesn't physically have link lights at either end, too damn cheap [14:38] bitplane, have you tired on the same machine but different system? [14:38] Bash, why that? [14:38] Actually i havent tried that [14:38] ill see [14:38] ouyes, only the live CD which used to work (it worked before I installed Ubuntu anyway) [14:38] jaha [14:38] bitplane I got you. So linux sees the port because it is listed in ifconfig -a [14:38] Because compiz isn't working [14:39] no luck guys [14:39] and in the check it's the only thing missing [14:39] bitplane, any other OS? [14:39] cAs, anyway, it may be that your drive is going towards the end of its life [14:39] bitplane and when you unplug the cable from the linux box and plug it in another machine, that one gets link? [14:39] no, my Windows CD has a dodgy license key and won't install [14:39] mkanyicy, Checking for Xgl: not present. [14:39] mmvv yes, works on this laptop here in Windows, so it's not the cable [14:39] @JessD tanx ure too much [14:39] may be, buts its quite new, one year and half... [14:39] julikoko : Quite welcome [14:39] Bash, do you have compiz-check ? [14:40] it just seems strange that my onboard LAN card would actually break like that at a reboot, but so far everything points at that [14:40] bitplane Ubuntu in their wisdom took ethtool out of the standard installation [14:40] ugh [14:40] mkanyicy, no [14:40] anyway, Ive just entered an original movie and Ubuntu reads it [14:40] bitplane, i think there maybe something wrong with your enthernet hardware, or the card, or the interface [14:40] mkanyicy, no I ran compiz --replace in teminal and I'm going off the errrors... [14:40] i am using diskspace screenlet and mounting hard drives gave all mount points in options but mount points with single name got mounted but mount points like this /media/Os Drive didnt get mounted [14:41] tried everything [14:41] bitplane does the machine have wireless access to the net? [14:41] tell me how to do when spaces occur between name [14:41] anyone knows how to change login screen on 9.10? [14:41] even for mount points [14:41] mmvv, Ubuntu doesn't recognise my wifi card :( [14:41] swapy: use quotes or scape the space with \ [14:41] bitplane, try to run another system to check if the hardware is ok . [14:41] Bash, google for 'compiz-check' and use it to debug compiz for you [14:41] bitplane is this a laptop? [14:41] no it's a tower [14:41] whats the average life for a dvd reader? [14:42] no luck [14:42] maybe someone got in and flashed my LAN firmware or something, it's bloody weird this :/ [14:42] bitplane you can download ethtool from the repos on the windows machine and stick it on a usbstick [14:42] sounds like a plan, i'll try that thanks [14:42] mmvv, perhaps he has had a hardware trouble , need to be mended [14:42] ouyes and maybe he hasn't [14:42] cAs, that happened to my work laptop, it is too old [14:43] cAs, after burning a dvd it cannot read it [14:43] ouyes the device is recognised by the ubuntu install [14:43] mkanicy, that could happen in one year and a half? [14:43] cAs, but another computer can read the dvd it cannot read (but it burned) [14:43] mmvv, i have never had enthernet trouble [14:43] copying a very large (140GB) file from one external hdd to another has been running for 9hours and is still running, claims to have 24 hours more to go??? If I tared it would that be better? [14:43] cAs, maybe 3 to 5 years [14:44] !ru [14:44] Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [14:44] mmvv, en, ok, i have not see that [14:44] mkanyicy, its saying everything is ok [14:44] shane2peru: probably not, it would take you a long time to gzip it [14:44] mkanyicy, but its not working... [14:44] so wat happens when i download the playonlinix is done and installed [14:44] mkanyicy, so It's most likely XGL prob [14:44] ouyes I have had ethernet trouble. My laptop needs autonegotiation turned off before the link comes up [14:44] bitplane, it started at like 8mb a sec and is down to 1, why is that? [14:45] mkanicy, then what I should do is...replacing the dvd reader for another one newer? [14:45] shane, maybe fragmentation? what are you copying from/to? [14:45] you'll be lucky to get 10 megs a second across USB, in my experience [14:45] bitplane, copying from ext3 external hdd to ntfs (newley formated) external hdd [14:46] mmvv, you have bad luck, and i have good luck, ethernet are always fine with my lap === AdamDuce is now known as Adam === Adam is now known as ChrisPirillo === ChrisPirillo is now known as AdamD [14:46] !floodbot | Justin_` [14:46] anyone know [14:46] !floodbot2 | Justin_` [14:46] cAs, I really don't know, but this is not an Ubuntu prob on my laptop because same thing happens on Windows [14:46] Hi, I got a new netbook today and installed karmic, but wireless doesn't work. (eee pc 1001P) [14:47] i have removed emerald, but the window boarders have went away....i removed the line in ccsm where emerald --replace was in window decorations..... [14:47] does that mean i can play games on linix [14:47] shane2peru, its like that everytime [14:47] !java | Justin_` [14:47] Justin_`, please see my private message [14:47] mkanyicy, is it because of the file size? [14:47] ouyes I work with linux and ethernet devices all day every day. Rarely do I find an ethernet device that does not just work "Out of the box" with linux (and freebsd for that matter) but that doesn't mean they will all always work. [14:47] shane2peru, yes [14:48] mkanyicy, is there anyway to speed it up? or do so faster? [14:48] shane2peru, no way [14:48] shane2peru, try compressing before sending files [14:48] mkanyicy, I guess sit and wait, like this is a goverment job. :) [14:48] Can somebody help me make wlan work? [14:48] mkanicy, ill see it on windows and if it keeps not working, Ill replace it [14:48] i remember yesterday i tried to help someone with the wireless issue, he (she) told me he would try the method we suggest today and give me a message about the result, but i am online always today, but i get no such message, [14:49] A Netbook is quite useless without wlan ^^ [14:49] mkanicy, thank you very much!! ^^ [14:49] mkanyicy, half the problem is that it is so large I have no room to play with it, or put it anywhere else. [14:49] could somoene tell me if there is a way to change the default action in ubuntu to highlight ALL text with a single click in things like the address bar? note: im not talking about the about:config in firefox, as i do not use firefox, and all google tells me is that firefox does it.

[14:52] Compiz is working again [14:53] hello folks.. why is my screen going black and white? [14:54] Bash, I was asking how did you fix it [14:54] when or on what condition it happened?

[14:55] Bash, the commandline ' cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep AIGLX' is equivalent to ' grep AIGLX /var/log/Xorg.0.log' [14:55] mkanyicy, I'm not sure...

[16:56] * kyppcgeekChef I am lookiing at a Toshiba L505-ES5018 laptop [16:56] Need user advise as to if this thing will work with 9.04 [16:56] bitplane: Logs tell me that it cannot associate, and little else. [16:56] or 10.1 [16:56] i'm looking for an online tutorial to help me how to configure ubuntu8.10 vps [16:56] anyone ? [16:57] vaid, configure it todo what? [16:57] I googled the Laptop and found nothing about it except sales specs for windy's [16:57] i installed awesome but when i logged into it i could see nothing. no menu when i right click on the desktop. not even a panel [16:57] vaid: are you looking online? .. 8.10 will be end of life shortly [16:58] with grep -E '^flags.*(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo I nope. Very strange thing. I have intel quad core 8200. Does this mean that my cpu does not support virtualization? [16:58] bitplane, any ideas ?? [16:58] Is FF 3.6 already available for ubuntu 9.10? [16:58] to configure it from the be begining [16:58] Jenk: sorry, man, I normally would try but i'm looking for some help myself today; i disabled a very important users account. [16:58] it's new [16:58] Anyone? [16:58] Hodapp: cannot associate with an access point? [16:58] need to secure it [16:58] i installed awesome but when i logged into it i could see nothing. no menu when i right click on the desktop. not even a panel [16:58] i got a problem about you need to boot proper kernel first [16:58] Jenk, maybe your disk is a version of UDF that isn't supported [16:59] the initial configurations i mean [16:59] tone_, sorry to hear that. wish you luck with that... thanks though. [16:59] bitplane: Yes. [16:59] bitplane, how do i check that ?? [16:59] I know my DVD-Driver is pretty old and needed a firmware update to support all disk formats [16:59] Jenk, I don't know [16:59] I used to remember It didn't even work with music cds [16:59] Jenks: you too, partner. [16:59] bitplane, all i know is that it was burned on a vista comp. does that help ?? [16:59] scunizi, end of life? why [16:59] I just did rm -rf on a directory I shouldn't have. I immediately hit ctrl-c and it stopped. But I'm unsure if anything was removed... anyway to tell? [16:59] Hodapp, so it does at least recognise the wifi card, send packets out over wireless ethernet, but then fails when negotiating encryption? [17:00] time to read the how to install forum again. argh [17:00] bitplane, is there some module/driver ?? [17:00] where are you reading that [17:00] vaid: releases are supported for 18 months.. except an LTS release which is supported for 3 years and 5 years for server [17:00] Hodapp, I would try running Wireshark and see what traffic is going between your card and the router [17:01] vaid: the upcoming release 10.04 will be a LTS release.. the last LTS was 8.04 [17:01] vaid, Im not sure exactly what your trying to accomplish? perhaps google for a linux newbie guide, there really isnt much you need todo to configure a vps [17:01] I can't carry on using the 8.10 ? [17:01] is it that bad [17:01] bitplane: And do what with that information? [17:01] hello [17:01] hello all! [17:01] vaid: you can keep using it but you won't receive any security updates and eventually the repos holding all the packages won't be available. [17:01] how can I see if my cpu support virtualization? [17:02] Hodapp, work out where the problem occurs [17:02] how i can upgrade it [17:02] Hodapp: which log files did you check? [17:02] could anyone tell me how bookmark this channel or somethin like that? [17:02] bitplane: dmesg. [17:02] !upgrade | vaid [17:02] vaid: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [17:02] bitplane: I know that my settings are correct. I know that the hardware is fine. The problem is some nonsense Ubuntu did. [17:02] after upgrading [17:03] hi [17:03] Greeting Earthlings. I want to cp all the jpg files on a hard drive to a separate folder. These are album art and are stored in many directories and sub-directories but all under a main directory /music1. Can I use the 'cp' command or is there a scan program that will help? Thanks. [17:03] hey, can somebody help to read an UDF DVD on ubuntu ?? [17:03] should I configure it from 0 stage [17:03] anybody? [17:03] Hodapp, my solution was to simply disable IPv6 in network manager [17:03] how can I see if my cpu support virtualization? [17:03] gmachine_24, try usinf 'find' with the -exec switch [17:04] guys i've been following this tutorial http://www.meppum.com/2009/jan/17/installing-django-ubuntu-intrepid/ but i keep on running into a '502 Bad Gateway error' for nginx Anybody ideas? [17:04] pfifo, thanks. can I pipe the findings......i.e. copy them.......the actual files .. to a separate folder. [17:04] could anyone tell me how to bookmark this channel or sth like that? [17:04] Hodapp: that might be worth a try, after an update eth0 got shut down (ifconfig said it was up, but daemon.log said it was down) because IPv6 settings were wrong or unsupported [17:04] found out it has to do with apache mod wsgi / nginx [17:04] cAs-karmico, which irc client [17:05] gmachine_24, find will execute the command you specify with the -exec switch on each file it finds [17:05] bitplane: I do not see a single reason IPv6 would be the culprit. [17:05] bazhang, chatzilla [17:05] vaid: I don't understand the question.. you mean starting again from 0? It's always recommended you backup your data... just in case .. then do the upgrade process.. however you'll have to upgrade to 9.04 then 9.10 then in april 10.04.. I'd just wait. backup your data and go directly to 10.04 with a fresh intsall. [17:05] pfifo, ok. thanks. [17:05] cAs-karmico, let me check [17:05] bazhang, ok ty so much [17:06] Anyone have an idea on my Laptop situation? [17:06] How can I log a channel subscribed to in Chatzilla? [17:06] kyppcgeekChef, explain a bit [17:06] !anyone | kyppcgeekChef [17:06] kyppcgeekChef: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [17:06] bullgard: chatzilla should have a logging feature.. check it's menus [17:06] how can I filter nslookup output to get just IP address? [17:06] scunizi, they wont have a 8.04 -> 10.04 upgrade? alot of people/business use 8.04 [17:06] scunizi, I don't have important data yet to backup [17:07] cAs-karmico: look for a subscribe button [17:07] Jenk: I'm looking at a Toshiba L505-ES5018 and want to make sure I don't have an ACPI boot error issue as shown by other sites of other L505 laptops [17:07] pfifo: yes they do .. but vaid is on 8.10. he can't do that jump [17:07] scunizi, I think I want to clean it up and jump directly to the latest version, what do you think? [17:07] vaid: sure [17:07] Jenk: I searched Google and Yahoo for this L505-ES5018 laptop and found nothing listed except for sales sheets [17:07] IdleOne, ok Ill see if I find it [17:08] cAs-karmico: in the meantime bazhang is still looking. :) [17:08] scunizi, how can I do that? upgrading without backing up or there is a formatting stage or something before doing that [17:08] Make sense? [17:08] IdleOne, I know and I than it so much ^^ [17:09] btw, Ive seen an option to "open this channel at startup" which is even better than bookmarking it for me :D [17:09] vaid: backup your data first.. download and burn the latest ISO, install new system formatting on the way.. you might consider making your /home a seperate partition.. if it is you don't have to format it on a reinstall.. [17:09] kyppcgeekChef, that's a bit technical... how about asking one of technicians in your area ?? [17:09] cAs-karmico: you could also install xchat from Synaptic package Manager. [17:09] hi all [17:10] IdleOne, dyou think thats the best IRC client? [17:10] scunizi, it's not my home server it's a vps I purchased online [17:10] cAs-karmico: it is the best irc client for me [17:10] Pelias: nslookup host | grep Server | awk '{ print $NF }' [17:10] this is the nginx localhost.access.log http://dpaste.com/152614/ [17:10] scunizi: I went through all Chatzilla menu items twice. I could not find a relevant menu item. [17:10] hey, can somebody help to read an UDF DVD on ubuntu ?? i get an invalid mount option error. [17:10] IdleOne, Ill give it a try when I know how IRC works, cos its my very first day hehe [17:11] is this http://www.ubuntu.com/GetUbuntu/download a live cd? [17:11] bullgard: might be time to use a different client [17:11] scunizi: Yes. [17:11] indietrash: the desktop cd is both a live cd and install cd [17:11] jrib: kthnx [17:12] btw anyone from Madrid?? [17:12] Jenk, did you try this? http://amazingrando.wordpress.com/2007/05/02/how-to-mount-udf-dvds-in-ubuntu/ [17:12] Cause Id like to join or create a Loco in Madrid [17:13] !loco | cAs-karmico [17:13] cAs-karmico: Information on Ubuntu Local Community Teams is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeams [17:13] quit
