[00:00] tgraham: ESX has ssh and you can ssh in : [00:00] it is kind of spartan though [00:00] but its unix like at least [00:00] erUSUL: um well from what I can see is that if I use idle that is not what I want to do since I would like the scanner to be able to work as I am working [00:00] !lts | tgraham [00:00] tgraham: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04). The next LTS release is scheduled to be !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [00:00] ESX uses part of RHEL, so yes, you could call it an OS of sorts. [00:00] i was thinking maybe the esx console is mucking it up, but then you wouldnt get past the install [00:00] cjae: i would do. without disturbing your work [00:00] any suggestions on getting useful diagnostic information when Ubuntu fails to connect to a wireless network?

For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [00:13] I just did a clean install and the first thing it did was downloadthe updates and something installed with an error. now whenever I install something it gives an error even though it installed fine [00:13] onetinsoldier: hmm, that is hard when the machine with the output won't get online... I may try saving the output to a flash drive and pasting it later. [00:13] While installing Ubuntu 9.10, the full install screen runs well off the visible screen on my gateway notebook.

[00:15] not sure of manfacturer...been searching the gateway site [00:16] jolaren: you use the 'usermod' and 'deluser' commands [00:16] it appears on the xorg site that 3D is supported for my card but nothing with 3D works... help?

[00:19] sebsebseb: google it and ubuntu.. you'll see lots of struggling people with a card like that [00:19] Izinucs: well that was a bit confussing it's a i not a l, so my auto complete messed up above [00:19] jolaren: yeah. sorry, my bad. i don't know about changing the actual name of the user. it's kind of tied to a lot things. you'd probably just need to create a new user altogether [00:19] <_Tristan> update uninstalled the human theme, how do I reinstall it? [00:19] Izinucs: well at least there seems to be something in the repo for it? [00:19] Anyone know of a text editor that I can easily add code documentation to? like vims omnicomplete, only easy, and with a GUI. [00:19] sebsebseb: I should go back to Scunizi but that nick is logged in via my laptop [00:20] sebsebseb: yep.. and openchrome driver [00:20] Izinucs: Tee-Bone as for all these hardware issues, that's what people get for trying to do Ubuntu on unsupported hardware [00:20] onetinsoldier; got any clue on how to remove a user then? [00:20] erUSUL: so would that command auto lauch the app or should I start it first? [00:20] it appears on the xorg site that 3D is supported for my card but nothing with 3D works... help? [00:20] cjae: it would launch it [00:20] ati mobility radeon 9000 [00:20] lnx4ver: Tee-Bone and it's the fault of the manufacture why the support is lacking or why there isn't any [00:20] sebsebseb: and s3s tend to suck on any os, whatsoever. [00:21] Izinucs: [00:21] erUSUL: thanks again [00:21] sebsebseb: yeeesss.. :) [00:21] Izinucs: your current name, I am not sure what that one is about at all, same for Scunizi ,but that one seems to make more sense :) [00:21] I want to edit a thing that boots automaticly so that it will run as root.. I don't know how to edit this now [00:22] sebsebseb: Izinucs is Scunizi backwards.. my backup nick.. we've talked a bunch in the past [00:22] <_Tristan> update removed my themes, how do I reinstall them? [00:22] jolaren: if you read the man page about changing a user's name with the -l command it states that the name of the home directory should be changed as well [00:22] Izinucs: not a bunch, but here and there yeah [00:22] sebsebseb: for sure.. [00:23] onetinsoldier; Yeah, but it complains about parameters.. long time ago I used ubuntu server [00:23] onetinsoldier; If you know how to edit startup jobs or just regular whatever that boots .. then please let me know.. I want a process to be started as root [00:23] Izinucs - i tried the sudo command and got back that the xserver-xorg-video-openchrome is already the latest version [00:23] sebsebseb: I switched over to kubuntu 64 recently.. to try it out.. it's pretty nice [00:23] jolaren: as far as removing a user, it should be as easy as --> sudo deluser [00:24] yer its done already [00:24] Tee-Bone: ok.. do you have a lcd or CRT monitor? [00:24] sebsebseb: lnx4ver: was hoping to revive an older Win XP machine by switching to linux...not so smart as i thought? [00:24] why the hell when i use windows i feel bored instanly but with linux never [00:24] izinucs: lcd (laptop) [00:24] Izinucs: kubuntu is great 10.04 should make me very happy [00:24] guys I installed the latest kde and the plasma keeps crashing [00:24] Tee-Bone: it is a good idea, but if it works out properly or not, depends on the hardware mainly [00:24] how do I go back? [00:25] Tee-Bone: oh another distro might work better with your hardware, but doesn't seem like it [00:25] Tee-Bone: hang in there.. all is not lost.. might be that your monitor doesn't report the resolution that it needs to the system.. so xrandr is the solution... open a terminal and type xrandr then enter.. it will list all the available resolutions currently.. if it's not there you can add the one you want. [00:26] mac9416: you used a ppa? [00:26] Couldn't find your OpenSSL library installation dir [00:26] izinucs - will try, thanks [00:26] cjae: I agree.. didn't like 3.5.xx much.. just too "busy" but 4.x is much more polished.

[00:27] Izinucs: I hated 3.5.x [00:27] Tee-Bone: nope.. xrandr is what you use.. and will have to look up a reference page for you.. hang on. [00:27] Izinucs: so windows 98 like :/ [00:27] gracias [00:27] Tee-Bone: and then hardware can be tricky to configure, but you got Izinucs / scunizi trying to help you, and he is one of the main helpers here, and seems to know his stuff. So you will probably be alright. [00:28] where to get awn themes [00:28] i'm very impressed by this chat [00:28] Izinucs: thinking about donating to kde for [00:28] it [00:29] Tee-Bone: check this page out.. there's a lot of info there so what you need to pay attention to is "adding" the resolution you want then "activating" that resolution.https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution.

[00:29] cjae: be worth it.. It'll be really interesting if they can get a smooth port to winXX and get those people hooked on the apps.. then move them entirely to linux [00:30] Berzerker: there's a manual you can get from their site which is pretty good, and there's also #vbox [00:30] sebsebseb, I think I got it, would running the mount command in /etc/init.d/rc.local work? [00:31] Izinucs: ya I ve used kde apps on windows... pretty cool... not just move them to linux but to *nix period ;) [00:32] cjae: did they crash a lot? [00:32] Izinucs: yeah KDE want to be cross platform it seems, there's even an unoffical way to get it for haiku. Not sure if you know about that one, alpha 1, and like BEOS. I still need to virtual machine try that. [00:32] a bit but that was many months ago [00:33] <_Tristan> apt-get says I have human-theme installed but appearence says it isn't installed [00:33] cjae: I like the binary clock widget.. almost to the point where I don't have to think/add about it. :) [00:34] how would I make a command that cds to a folder? [00:34] cjae: KDE 3.5 and 4 are both quite Windows like by default really, then geek to customize even more so for KDE 4 it seems than KDE 3.5 [00:34] Berzerker: cd PATH ? [00:34] Berzerker: cd /folder/location [00:34] jrib, like I want the command "android" to do cd /media/android [00:35] Berzerker: make a bash alias. [00:35] Berzerker: alias android='cd /media/android' [00:35] k thanks [00:35] Time to read up on bash basics. :) well thats not really a 'basic' thing.. but its pretty fundamental [00:35] Dr_Willis: where are bash alias's stored? [00:36] yeah, understanding everything in ubuntu's default ~/.bashrc is a good goal :) [00:36] Izinucs: no where. You deind them in the bash init scripts [00:36] does terminal gedit support cut and paste? [00:36] it appears on the xorg site that 3D is supported for my card but nothing with 3D works... help? ati mobility radeon 9000 [00:36] Tee-Bone: what do you mean by "terminal gedit"? [00:36] Dr_Willis: aren't the scripts someplace? [00:36] Izinucs: an alais technically is not a script. [00:36] Dr_Willis: like ~/.bashrc ? [00:36] Izinucs: you can make user scripts in /home/username/bin [00:36] accessories--> terminal sudo gedit === cthulhu is now known as Guest92256 [00:36] Izinucs: you can DEFIND alias;s in .bashrc [00:37] !gksudo | Tee-Bone [00:37] Tee-Bone: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [00:37] sebsebseb: my machine is so much more productive on kde 4, since I to keep it ungeek friendly... cli is not an option [00:37] Tee-Bone: but sure you can copy and paste...

[00:40] Izinucs: redo the alias command. [00:40] Izinucs: play with it and see. [00:41] aliases end with the session. [00:41] sebsebseb: no I thought you meant me [00:41] Dr_Willis: ok.. I'm just thinking the system has to store that alias someplace for later reference and I was curious where [00:42] Izinucs: alias are a bash feature and in shells memory.. same as 1000+ other bash variables and settings [00:42] cjae: Izinucs, you, and me, all had a bit of recent off topic :D [00:42] How do I make a program autostart in ubuntu server and run as root? [00:42] Izinucs: if you close your shell and open a new one, it won't remember your alias [00:42] jolaren: like what? [00:42] jrib; like mythtv-backend [00:42] jrib: how do I get it to be persistant through a reboot? [00:42] jolaren: that's something in the repositories right? [00:42] jrib; it boots atm as regular user but then it wont work so i have to close it down then restart it with root [00:43] jolaren: what does "regular user" mean? [00:43] jolaren: mythtv-backend package should have an initscript - if you are building your own from source you should be able to copy that [00:43] Izinucs ~/.bashrc [00:43] adante; I'm not compiling it myself [00:43] iflema: thank you [00:43] jrib; regular user? [00:43] Izinucs: you define them in .bashrc bash reads/makes them when it starts up .. there ya go.. [00:43] jolaren: yeah. Which user exactly? [00:44] Dr_Willis: :) I knew it had to be someplace.. [00:44] jrib; I think It's the mythtv user who runs the commando from the boot [00:44] jolaren: odd that it won't run as root -- see if there is a BACKENDUSER or equivalent var in the script(or conf.d) or manually edit the initscript yourself and change teh start-stop-daemon to run as root [00:44] er, non-root i mean [00:45] jolaren: right, so obviously it's intended to run that way. You should troubleshoot why it doesn't work with that user, not make it run as root. What's the issue? [00:45] Dr_Willis: bashrc file says towards the bottom that you can create a seperate file called /bash_aliases to store personal aliases.. [00:45] it appears on the xorg site that 3D is supported for my card but nothing with 3D works... help? ati mobility radeon 9000 [00:46] jrib; The issue is that I can't connect to the server because when mythtv runs it I cannot connect to the servef [00:46] * ... .bash_aliases [00:47] How do I change the default application to open a file with?

No idea on ATI [01:53] *after [01:53] Dr_Willis: i dunno i guess sdlmame keybindings are different, xmame worked. I'm using a UK keyboard atm while configuring the box that could have also contributed to the issue [01:53] hola [01:54] Dr_Willis, I am on Nvidia, not ATI [01:54] cryptk: use the nvidis-settings tool perhaps? [01:54] Dr_Willis, I am using it, but I can't get it to just clone the displays [01:54] cryptk: i enable twinview and clone the outputs.. actually the defaults for my 3 nvidia machines are to 'clone' also [01:54] Dr_Willis: I'll stick around and try to take care of some low hanging fruit issues with ya... you've helped me so much recently. its the least i can do [01:54] playfirst, some motherboard manufacturers dont really properly implement acpi standards, linux sometimes chokes on those cards [01:54] rumpsy: that's the right driver.. at least according to nvidia.. the only other possible solution is to try the binary driver direct from nvidia.. but I gotta warn you, you'll have to uninstall all the nvidia bits ubuntu installs before installing the binary.. also with every kernel upgrade you'll have to reinstall the driver.. [01:55] Dr_Willis, found it... DOH! [01:55] Dr_Willis, thanks... [01:55] Does anyone know why the terminal is called "uçbirim" in Turkish? :D [01:55] Dr_Willis, is it possible to clone them with the screens running at different resolutions? [01:55] Guys.

The error says mount of filesystem failed, A maintenance shell will now be started. How to get my machine back to normal? [01:56] Toink: what is the translation of that?

However it periodically fails, silently. Is there some way i could have my system check if the tun device is in ifconfig every 10 minutes or so, and start the app again? i'm using ubuntu karmic [01:56] rahduke, thanks [01:56] rahduke, it is an 8800GTX [01:56] I can't play certain wmv files, when I open it it complains about wmap codec I installed w32codec already any idea why? [01:56] scunizi, I don't have it my dictionary (which is not particularly modern) so I've been wondering. No, it doesn't mean anything bad. [01:56] rumpsy: no.. the 173 was updated to work with xorg 1.7+ .. it was a pretty major change [01:56] that should be good enough, if u wana watch HD vdpau is the way to go [01:57] scunizi: okay, i'll try, brb [01:57] Thankyou [01:57] cryptk: just add ppa:nvidia-vdpau/ppa to your repos in Karmic [01:57] and u can safely upgrade [01:58] Toink: not what I thought.. but the english translation might give clues.. is the language on your machine set to turkish? (just wondering if it's set to english and you had a turkish word showing up then there's something else going on) [01:58] rahduke, what is the main benefit of those drivers? [01:58] VDPAU [01:58] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VDPAU [01:59] so basically acceleration of video, not jsut 3d graphics [02:00] cryptk: yup, the new mplayer supports it....smplayer does as well and boxee and xbmc [02:01] anyone available for some help with my wireless? for once its not configuring my card [02:01] rahduke: is that the same driver as the latest binary blob direct from nvidia? [02:01] scunizi, not right now but the language used to be Turkish, and I'm going to change it back to Turkish again. My favorite way of learning languages :) [02:01] i installed ubuntu 9.10 live on my usb using the app at pendrivelinux.com and im wondering if its persistant by default or copying to ram by default to run there [02:01] scunizi: not sure what the binary blob is, im using the 190.53 drivers [02:02] Help, please.

[02:05] oops [02:05] rahduke: I read the other day of an easy way to add a ppa to sources.. but I've forgotten.. you actually used apt-get to do it.. very different.. something new with 9.10 [02:06] fookyou, off topic in here but ... if (grep 12, @a) { ... } [02:06] hello all [02:06] scunizi: just open software sources from system admin [02:07] lspci | grep -i wireless [02:07] unop: Thank you...

[02:27] concretesledge_: you could try the same advice I just gave to dregier, and then run nvidia-xconfig or something [02:27] I have two that after 6 months have burned out [02:27] was wondering if it was normal [02:27] pasjr: nope.. [02:27] there is no xorg.conf file [02:27] pasjr, not normal. Possibly you have a faulty USB port. [02:27] nope , thats not normal pasjr [02:27] danbhfive, ijust noticed that.. thank you [02:28] my mouse works fine, same usb === FeiRuoWa is now known as zz_FeiRuoWa [02:28] one is a netgear the other is a ralink [02:28] im thinking about putting the ubuntu netbook remix on this laptop [02:28] pasjr, you're unplugging your mouse to plug in the wireless? [02:28] Dell lattitude D800 [02:28] sup guys. how do I install flash 64 on linux? I have the file extracted, I just forget the path it should go to. [02:28] how would I go about pairing my MS BT keyboard and mouse using a built in BT on my laptop as opposed to provided BT dongle ? [02:29] no, laptop three usb all on same board [02:29] Roasted: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras [02:29] !flash64 > Roasted [02:29] Roasted, please see my private message === zz_FeiRuoWa is now known as FeiRuoWa [02:29] blakkheim, flash 64 bit, not the included one. [02:29] anyone know if D-link usb's are good [02:29] blakkheim, theres a bug with compositing and flash, and a lot of users post that the 64 bit alpha solves it, so I want to try it. [02:30] Roasted: if you're running 64 and do the "restricted-extras" it'll pull the 64 bit version. or list the medibuntu repos and do it from there. [02:30] Roasted: you should just need to put the lib into ~/.mozilla/plugins [02:30] scunizi, I am running 64, and I have restricted extras. But I was told restricted extras is just 32 bit with a wrapper to make it work. [02:31] Roasted: I'm running 64 kubuntu with no issues.. not sure about the wrapper.. it just "works" [02:31] Roasted: mv libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so [02:31] as per wiki [02:31] scunizi, the bug is when you have compositing enabled, on some flash videos on youtube, you cant fast forward or anything. [02:31] wicd refuses to get an IP from my wireless network. anyone got any ideas why? [02:31] scunizi, which is kind of a PITA, but some users said the 64 bit alpha runs great and solves that issue. [02:31] Roasted: haven't tried that.. [02:32] Roasted: FastF or the alpha [02:32] Roasted: thers some issues with compuiz and clicking on flash buttons ive seen - theres several fix;s out for taht. [02:32] Roasted: however the medibuntu repos might actually be serving up the alpha version.. not sure though [02:32] Dr_Willis, such as? I havent seen any besides just using the 64 alpha. [02:32] sebastien_, I have never had problems with wicd, wired or wireless, when you say refuses, what erorr do you get [02:33] Roasted: i had the issue here. disabled compiz.. saw some site that mentioned about 4 other things to try. None iof which was to use the alpha... [02:33] hay I have a ? [02:33] danbhfive: no, this is an old install of 8.04. [02:33] Dr_Willis, I dont want to disable compiz, though, because I use docky which requires compositing. [02:33] Roasted: i googled for 'flash button 9.10 click' [02:33] Roasted: and found several hits. [02:33] hipitihop i'll get a log in a sec. it connects, then hangs on requesting IP address for a while then error. which i will try to replicate [02:34] sahal: yeah, I dunno [02:34] danbhfive: i think it has to do with sessions [02:34] Roasted: easiest fix for me was just turn off compiz. so thats all i tried [02:34] I'm looking for an app called xxd its a app that make hex dump files [02:34] Dr_Willis, but that's not an option with me, or else I would. [02:34] where can i find it for gentoo [02:34] ^lol [02:34] !find xxd [02:34] Found: xxdiff, xxdiff-scripts [02:34] sebastien_, I assume you have verified your router has dhcp enabled [02:35] Roasted: check the other fix's then. [02:35] i installed that xxdiff [02:35] but xxd did not work [02:35] hipitihop, all it says is connection failed unable to get ip adress [02:35] danbhfive: when it first happened i just deleted ~/.metacity/sessions and gnome started [02:35] hipitihop, yeah. no issues there [02:35] my wireless works but after about 5 minutes it stops working and occasionally it just disconnects... it's at about 50% of the bar of signal strength... anyone know a troubleshooting link? [02:35] danbhfive: it happened again and i tried to do the same thing but it didn't work [02:35] hipitihop, let me track down my debug log [02:35] so no one knows where i can get xdd for gentoo [02:35] anyone know how setup ubuntu server to send me sms text messages to my cellphone about errors/updates etc?? [02:36] E-TARD: ask in #gentoo perhaps? [02:36] E-TARD: or find the source.

[02:38] hipitihop, i don't follow. I haven't been able to connect to the wireless so far [02:38] hay if it works or not you have been a big help [02:39] why does flash have to suck so fricken bad. :/ [02:39] having problems with apt-get. see lines 12-13 in http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d54803e7d [02:39] Roasted: because adobe would rather rant then fix things [02:39] * Dr_Willis waits for flash to go the way of 'realplayer' [02:39] Dr_Willis, what is this HTML5? Will it be taking over flash? I keep hearing a lot about it. [02:39] hipitihop, okay i have a log [02:40] I need some help to install memcached for php. I compiled php and memcache myself. Now when i try to install php5-memcache or use pecl memcache or even compile it myself i can't get it to show up in phpinfo(). memcached is running fine, just can't get it to associate with php. I have added the extension=memcache.so even put the full path and still nothing. Anyone have any ideas? [02:40] Roasted: Youtube is allready doing html5 support. I imagine it will slap flash around quite a bit in the future [02:40] morning Dr_Willis [02:40] sebastien_, that is what I wanted to know, if the wireless ever worked... have you tried connecting using static ip temporarily, just to make sure other issues like authentication with the AP is working [02:40] do we take a ticket to get in line for help? :) [02:40] Roasted: Html5 is the next version of html. it has support for video baked in [02:40] try chrome. great demo for html5 video [02:40] faileas - nice, nice. is it far off in the future before it goes mainstream? [02:40] Roasted: the majority iof issues i see with flash at different sites is how they are forceing ads into the videos.. that can break things [02:40] Hansard, You could take a ticket, or you could just ask your question. [02:40] Roasted: i use html5 at youtube now. [02:40] Roasted: unlike ipv6, its an 'any moment now' thing [02:41] dsnyders: I did ask, so where are the tickets? [02:41] not really [02:41] Roasted: most decent browsers have some degree of support already [02:41] google chrome supports html5- and google owns youtube right? [02:41] once ms gets their shit together [02:41] Dr_Willis: how do you get html5 for youtube? I tried it, and it didn't work [02:41] kungfu711: it'll never happen ;p [02:41] last release of FF also did html5 [02:41] Figured out that ubuntu picks up my wireless card, which is Atheros AR8132. [02:41] yea no kidding [02:41] But it's not working. [02:41] hipitihop, there are two other windows laptops which connect no problem. http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d5b43d14 [02:41] HELP. [02:41] Is YouTube utilizing html5 yet? [02:41] danbhfive: thers some Youtube site you set 'let me test html5' on i recall [02:41] html5 would be in use by now if it weren't for ms [02:41] Roasted: yes [02:41] Roasted: experimentally [02:41] Roasted: YES it is. :) i said so 3 times now :) [02:42] kungfu711: not true [02:42] Roasted: but not for all videos. :) [02:42] kungfu711: the specification isnt finished [02:42] Dr_Willis, didnt notice. [02:42] kungfu711: eh, ms dosen't even support html4 properly ;p [02:42] theres enough there to support a lot of it [02:42] ms get a 30 on the ACID3 test [02:42] Hansard, If nobody helps right away, then wait 10-20 minutes and try again. Sometimes the right people are not online. [02:42] all other browsers get > 80 [02:42] http://www.youtube.com/html5 [02:42] (modern browsers) [02:42] Roasted: http://www.youtube.com/html5. [02:42] Hansard, As far as the tickets, I just looked. The dispenser is empty. [02:42] i think it worked thanks [02:43] dsnyders: ok thanks, I'll wait. [02:43] i wish ms would dump ie 6 already [02:43] lolhalplz: what have you done to see that it is picked up but not working? [02:43] kungfu711: they want to. ;p. [02:43] MS has a zombie problem XD [02:43] Roasted: http://www.youtube.com/html5 -> 'join the html5 beta' of coruse you jhave to use a browser that supports html5 [02:43] wow, firefox isnt in the list? [02:43] So I'm having a weird issue with what system monitor is telling me about my network connection. From the moment I booted up I was uploading (according to system monitor) 150-200kbps. This is either inaccurate or something really weird is going on. Could someone help me diagnose whether this is inaccurate, and if it is accurate, what is causing such a massive amount of upload traffic? [02:43] Roasted: th4e latest firefox supports html5 [02:43] you also can't use firefox, because it only supports theora at the moment [02:44] Roasted: earlier ones do not [02:44] I assume 3.5.7 isnt it? [02:44] I had it working with 3.6 the other day [02:44] dambhfive: I was running a system test and it said I had an Atheros AR8132 wireless card, but the card isn't working. It works fine in Windows. [02:44] Roasted: get 3.6 and try [02:44] anyone else have any ideas about setting ubuntu server to send sms to my cellphone? im scouring google right now - but thought id jump in here for help to [02:44] is there a PPA for it? [02:44] chrome is the best when it comes to implementing html5 [02:44] Roasted: yes [02:45] lolhalplz: what is a system test? [02:45] gotta love how-to guides. E: Package firefox-3.6 has no installation candidate [02:45] i went with app-editors/vim & now i got xxd I thank you all soo much for your help. [02:45] danbhfive: System, Administration, System Testing. [02:45] Roasted: add the ppa, apt-get update, install firefox 3.6 worked for me [02:45] yep [02:45] does chmod work on NTFS-3g mounted FSs? [02:45] did that [02:45] Roasted: enable backports? [02:46] sebastien_, the fact that other machines connect is goot but only confirms the router wifi is working but does not confirm you have teh failing machine setup correctly [02:46] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d54803e7d -- Reading database ... 70%dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error,... any ideas [02:46] lolhalplz: so, does it work? can you connect? [02:46] all solutions I could google failed [02:46] lampliter, try harder. [02:47] lazy ass [02:47] :P [02:47] lol [02:47] thats my situation right now [02:47] behave [02:47] google has failed me [02:47] http://www.webupd8.org/ has a guide on installing ff3.6 [02:47] lampliter: try reconfiguring or forcibly reinstalling the offending package and then removing it [02:48] danbhfive: No, I can't connect. When I unplugged my ethernet cord my wireless card wouldn't connect to my home connection. I even created a wireless connection to use when it works, it wouldn't connect. My router is up and running. Dunno what's wrong. [02:48] I am full of windows :-) All windows open fill screen, anyone know how to adjust this? [02:48] Dr_Willis: i wish they'd just make an excemption for firefox, and install the latest stable, no matter what, like its done with most other OSes >< [02:48] drew3: using the UNR? [02:48] lampliter: i can probably help. need to be careful though [02:48] sebastien_, so in wicd you can see your wireless AP and you have confirmed via the "properties" button that encryption type and keys are set correctly, like other laptops that work [02:48] * drew3 googles UNR? [02:49] tried forece remove and it still failed [02:49] faileas: know many other os that come with a repo? [02:49] faileas: i dont see as many peple in here asking about 3.6 as i have with other FF releases.. perhaps they are all learning to google/read/follow the 1000+ guides out there on how to install it via ppa :) [02:49] UNR = Ubuntu Netbook Remix. [02:49] drew3: Ubuntu Network Remix [02:49] so onetinsoldier , ideas? [02:49] Ahh OH, it is gnome. [02:49] lol [02:49] Found on the forum how to install 3.6. Installed the ppa. upgraded. closed firefox. opened it. help - about firefox - 3.5.7. LOL? [02:49] acicula: in general [02:49] amphi0n, Have you looked at http://john.mcclumpha.org/linux/Build_your_own_SMS_gateway_with_Ubuntu_Linux_and_Gammu/ [02:49] hipitihop its sebastien_ switched to my desktop [02:50] Roasted: if its a nightly, it'll be under the codename [02:50] lampliter: yes. it means editing a file that requires care editing. make a back up it first [02:50] Roasted: check the menus for ff under a different name [02:50] lolhalplz: is this a fresh install? what version? [02:50] right [02:50] Kayel, ok [02:50] Roasted: depenins on what PPA it may or may not use the name 'firefox' [02:50] lampliter: make a backup of it first* [02:50] whih file? [02:50] hipitihop, so where do i go from here. if it serves any purpose i have a broadcom 4306 card running under ndiswrapper [02:50] Is there an official PPA for 3.6 so I can stop using these BS suggestions Im finding on random sites? [02:50] lampliter: please address replies to me with my nick ;-) [02:51] danbhfive: Yes, it's Ubuntu netbook remix 9.10. [02:51] Kayel: is your AP using WPA? [02:51] my friend upgrades from 9.04 to 9.10 via the internet and after rebooting during installation it goes through the ubuntu (with the loading bar) page and then gets to a screen with a spinning cursor and it just hangs... running recovery mode to terminal and typing 'startx' works though... Help please? :) [02:51] Kayel, did you see my previous post before switch ? [02:51] Roasted, there's the mozilla daily PPA but it's not truly the released package for ff 3.6.0 [02:51] lampliter: cd /var/lib/dpkg [02:51] hipitihop, no i doubt it. and no i'm using wep with a passphrase [02:51] WTH? all my firefox exensions vanished? o.O === mike is now known as Guest76044 [02:51] Ganymede, well, I kind of want 3.6... [02:51] lampliter: cp -v status status.bak [02:51] onetinsoldier: k, have rsi and no speech reco in linux. tend to take short cuts [02:52] Roasted: find the firefox 3.6 'stable' ppa not daily build then [02:52] lampliter: roger. you can use tab completion to complete my nick [02:52] GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHh [02:52] Roasted, i don't think you'll find a PPA for it...what i did was just download the tarball for mozilla's official site and untar it into your homedir, but then it's no longer handled by the package manager and i couldn't get flash to work with it...but it's the best you can do since the only PPA i know of is daily builds [02:52] http://www.webupd8.org/ has a guide on installing ff3.6 stable and daily builds pps'a [02:52] lampliter: ok, have you made a copy of the 'status' file? [02:52] Kayel, do you actually see the AP listed in wicd ? [02:52] I used this. http://www.webupd8.org/2010/01/firefox-36-stable-ubuntu-repository-ppa.html === homer is now known as Guest9982 [02:52] yet somehow Im still on 3.5.7 [02:52] nice [02:52] danbhfive: Did you get my reply? [02:53] Roasted: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:53] do I have to reboot, or just close my browser? [02:53] hipitihop, yeah. signal strength and all. it even authenticates the password which i couldn't do under network manager (why i switched to wicd) [02:53] while in nautilus im not seeing the usual icon video previews i had in debian, is there a package im missing per chance? usually it shows a little screen cap from the movie in the icon, but its just a film reel [02:53] http://www.webupd8.org/2010/01/firefox-36-stable-ubuntu-repository-ppa.html [02:53] Roasted: firefox-3.5 will still be the default, you will likely have to run firefox-3.6 from the command line, or find the codenamed version in Applications/Internet [02:53] oh [02:53] thats convenient [02:53] lolhalplz: yeah, but i don't know. Im playing with that testing app you pointed out. Have you tried configuring your card through network manager? [02:53] <_< [02:53] if anyone's curious i just found this on google about setting up a free SMS daemon: http://smstools.meinemullemaus.de/index.html [02:53] Hmm FF3.6 replaced FF3.5 here for me with that ppa. [02:54] me thinks it might work [02:54] the daily build was in the menus under some different name however. [02:54] Dr_Willis, that is the EXACT guide I just followed. [02:54] onetinsoldier: `status' -> `status-will-not-need' copied [02:54] Roasted: it worked for me last night just fine. [02:54] I just have to lcose FF and reopen it - right? [02:54] Kayel, ok that suggests the card and all are functioning ok... only thing I can think of is in wicd Advanced Settings there is a choice of driver [02:54] danbhfive: Network Manager? Do you mean Network Connections? [02:54] Roasted: unless the fact i had the daily build befor i used the stable ppa - affected things [02:55] Roasted: you want to close it befor you update/upgrade/change it i imagine - yes [02:55] lolhalplz: there should be a small icon on the top right bar of your screen [02:55] since you are using ndiswrapper, maybe you want to chose that rather then the default wext [02:55] lampliter: ok, now open up the status file in a text editor. then search on the following term --> Package: gnomine [02:55] Roasted: the daily build did use a different Icon then the stable i recall. [02:55] Dr_Willis, did that. Didnt work. 3.5.7. [02:55] Kayel, ^^^ [02:56] Roasted: check menus in the internet section for a different icon/name then [02:56] this is one of ubuntu's downfalls. I just want firefox 3.6. It's not that hard. [02:56] This might not be the best channel for this, but my desktop started booting up, and either freezing before BIOS shows, or rebooting. Either way, it never gets to send a signal to the monitor. Last time I had this issue, the RAM was wrong, but I already double checked that, which means it's the mobo, PSU, or video card. ANy ideas? [02:56] lampliter: you will need to be running the text editor as root.. so use 'gksu' if you are starting up a graphical text editor [02:56] Dr_Willis, I did. It doesnt exist. Just firefox web browser. [02:56] Roasted: dpkg -L firefox-3.6 | grep /usr/bin [02:56] Roasted: It worked fine for me. but i do tweak a lot of things. could be the menus havent refreshed [02:56] kayel, what driver do you have set there in advanced ? [02:56] I am in Jaunty. Just 5 minutes ago I was auto-logged out of gnome for no apparent reason. I came back in and loaded up my programs again, and the exact same thing just happened. Any idea what's going on? I tried rebooting, that apparently didn't fix it. [02:57] onetinsoldier: got it [02:57] Dr_Willis, gonna reboot then. Hope this fixes it... [02:57] Roasted: log out/back in === david is now known as Guest59901 [02:57] never mind.. follow your windowes training.... [02:57] * Dr_Willis just gives up. :) === Ignatius is now known as Nijverheid [02:58] lampliter: ok, you will need to delete that entire section if you follow me, delete the entire section for 'gnomine' from the file === Nijverheid is now known as Ignatius [02:58] danbhfive: Yes. [02:58] onetinsoldier: right [02:58] g NickServ identify Col3:16 [02:58] work time for me. bye all [02:58] lampliter: make the file so that it's as if 'gnomine' doesn't even exist in there.. then save and exit [02:58] tweaksource: smooth bro [02:58] yay for firefox 3.5.7. weeeeeeeeeeeeee [02:58] danbhfive: Oh, no I haven't. [02:59] yeah, really [02:59] lolhalplz: also, you can try: iwconfig and sudo iwlist scanning [02:59] anyone using php 5.3.x? [02:59] onetinsoldier: ooohhnooose I'm losing my minesweeper [02:59] lolhalplz: but yeah, try the app first [02:59] lampliter: then you're done. you might need to install 'gnomine' if something depends on it ;-) [02:59] what is a good avi to dvd converter [02:59] lampliter: just install it [02:59] Guest59901: avidemux [02:59] hi does anyone know if in empathy (im client) if you could send a file through to your AIM contacts or MSN contacts [03:00] Kayel, still there ? I have to go, but hopefully changing to one of the other drivers in wicd will get you across the line. Good luck [03:00] How do I mount something with ntfs-3g with 755 permissions? [03:00] Roasted: it isn't going to work with the youtube html5 test anyway, because firefox doesn't support H.264 yet and that is the only codec youtube is using [03:00] Or just in some way that MPD can read from it?

[03:05] danbhfive: I don't think k3b will convert video formats, so it depends on what kind of movie files Guest59901 has.... [03:05] Used this guide... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion and got this PPA: ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable then just apt-get install firefox. auto removes 3.5 and adds 3.6 under a new name.

[03:06] I've installed ubuntu to a very small disc (2.5gig) now I want everything else that gets installed etc to go to annother disc, how do I do this?.. [03:07] onetinsoldier: bother. well this is why I put all my data on /home. easy reinstall [03:07] hi, quick question [03:07] jolaren: there's no easy way to do that, I'm afraid. Installers are pretty much free to put stuff where they like. The proper way to split an install over two disks is probably to use logical volume management, but it's complicated for a beginner... [03:07] wishe: hello [03:07] how do i check whether i installed 32 bit or 64 bit ubuntu? [03:07] yea, it is reinstall time [03:08] pandemic187: uname -m [03:08] Losha; I see, thanks for the pointers. [03:08] lampliter: ok, roger. good luck [03:08] onetinsoldier: is i686 64 bit? [03:08] http://pastebin.org/84761 [03:08] pandemic187: no [03:09] it's 32? [03:09] pandemic187: yes [03:09] I'm running 8.04 and trying to upgrade to 9.04. sudo do-release-upgrade Checking for a new ubuntu release No new release found. Is this still the correct wayto upgrade? [03:09] thanks onetinsoldier [03:09] onetinsoldier: thanks. it is one more bit of life disaster [03:09] Losha; Is it possible to move my current ubuntu installation to annother disc then? [03:10] pandemic187: you're welcome. here's the response if you install 64-bit --> x86_64 [03:10] something about the kernel not being built correctly .. i dont know [03:10] onetinsoldier: since I'm rebuilding, maybe you might have an insite to this problem [03:10] tweaksource: that's, because 8.04 is a LTS release and by default it only shows other LTS as upgrade [03:10] lampliter: might be possible to slve the issue, if you want to keep showing me the error messages ;-) [03:10] !lts | tweaksource [03:10] tweaksource: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04). The next LTS release is scheduled to be !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [03:10] onetinsoldier: oh yeah, that makes sense. thanks. [03:10] hey guys im like a total linux noob. my original goal was to install multiple linux os [03:10] i started with suse. the installation would crash after it completed then i owuldnt be able to load into anything. i solved this by disabling ACPI. that fixed the installation issue and allowed me to use suse. I then made another partition to start to install ubuntu 9.10. Well the installation kept failing and restarting my computer at random times, til i discovered i yet again had to disable ACPI. [03:10] Well the installation was a success, but thereafter, i was not able to load into ubuntu. I tried from GRUB to load into the recovery mode, which i guess is like safe mode, but it would say, loading ACPI processor 0, fail. Loading ACPI processor 1, fail, and so on for my four cores. Any idea?? [03:10] MrBananas: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:10] So how do I upgrade to 9.04? [03:10] sudo apt-get dist upgrade? [03:11] tweaksource: why do you want to upgrade to 9.04? [03:11] does anyone know if ispconfig be the best hosting control panel for a dedicated server? [03:11] onetinsoldier: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=438591 this is what im trying to do and im having some trouble.. maybe you are able to help me out? [03:11] sebsebseb, To get my Canon mx700 working [03:11] tweaksource: What? that doesn't sound right, Canon aren't exactly Linux friendly [03:11] wishe: let me have a look [03:12] jolaren, sudo apt-get dist upgrade doesn't do it. [03:12] jolaren: generally yes. You can move the contents of the entire disk to another one. The main gotcha is you will have to do a manual grub-install after the move, so you can now boot from the new disk instead of the old one. [03:12] tweaksource: so if it doesn't work with 8.04, it probably won't in 9.04 or 9.10 either [03:12] onetinsoldier: laptop boots to both linux and windows. I want to access a common data pool from both sides (/home) [03:12] hey guys im having problems installing linux os' without disabling ACPI first, any ideas? i need to disable it in ubuntu 8.04 and 9.10 and it only allows me to install it, but my system still crashes when i try and start the OS. [03:13] sebsebseb, Canon AU has linux drivers for it. Found several sets of instructions on the forums claiming it works in the "9" releases [03:13] lampliter: well, make sure you use ext3 filesystem when you install [03:13] How hard is it to download a distro on one computer and transfer it to another vis a USB drive? [03:13] onetinsoldier: as well as from all linux vm's [03:13] ya i did [03:13] i installed partitionmanager through the package manager and apparently it was supposed to add a bootable partition manager to grub but i tried rebooting and there was nothing there [03:13] how do I format a disc in ubuntu terminal? [03:13] guys - remind me - whats the path I need tod rop the 64 bit libflashplayer.so file in? .mozilla/plugins???? [03:13] lampliter: i don't know how much i can help with that... [03:13] tweaksource: ok uhmm normalley I would just tell people to stay on 8.04 that have it at the moment, want to know why? [03:14] sebsebseb, GO ahead... [03:14] tweaksource: I mean stay on 8.04, untill 10.04, which they can then directly upgrade to since it's the next LTS, that's released end of April [03:14] onetinsoldier: linux vm running on w7. it is almost like i need a mini-nfs server starting at boot time [03:14] jolaren: you use mkfs. Or better yet, use gparted (a gui partitioner) if you can, since you generally have to partition before you format... [03:14] sebsebseb, I am just trying to get an old machine running with the printer as a print server. My other machines are 8.04 [03:14] par14h, unetbootin will do it easily [03:15] tweaksource: upgrading to 9.04, that should work no problem, but upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10, might go wrong on you [03:15] someone help mrbananas please. [03:15] i tried to load through grub ubuntu recovery, which i guesss is like safe mode, but it goes to load the cores of y processors in ACPI and then says they failed..... anyone know? [03:15] So, there's no way to upgrade from 8.04 LTS until 10.04??? That's crazy! [03:15] tweaksource: yes you can [03:15] sudo apt-get dist upgrade does not work. [03:16] tweaksource: you just got to get it showing non LTS releases [03:16] wishe: i can't help with forum post really. sorry. i thought you just wanted help getting the 'unetbootin' package installed [03:16] sebsebseb, Any idea how? [03:16] Roasted: yes, that is the correct path (to install it for just your current user) [03:16] i can sort that onetinsoldier... problem is, i cant get my gparted to appear in grub [03:16] if you can get me there i can fix the rest [03:16] anto9us, THank you for responding. How can I get the distro downloaded to the USB drive on a Windows machine so it can be moved via USB?

[03:17] Roasted: it should work, I just did that the other day to test the beta 10.1 flash [03:17] the following guide http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-setup-bluetooth-keyboard-and-mouse-in-ubuntu.html suggests adding mouse and keyboard to /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf is this still current ?

[03:18] Ok, so i installed Partitionmanager http://downloads.sourceforge.net/lubi/unetbootin_partitionmanagerrev146_all.deb ..<---- this.. and it wont show up in grub like it should.. any ideas?

[03:21] d [03:21] tvaughn: You can use the nvidia settings thing to try it out both ways and see what the differences are. When I tried it awhile ago it was almost the same, but twinview seemed to play nicer with fullscreen things.

[03:24] Hansard: plus x needs to run the log in screens hrm [03:24] Freds, you should see a network manager icon near your clock, yes? [03:24] yea [03:24] im on window os atm as i cant connect on ubuntu [03:24] but yea anywa [03:24] i see it there [03:25] Hansard: It's Ubuntu 9.10 yes? Karmic? [03:25] sebsebseb: yes, distro upgraded via the internet on the weekend from 9.01 [03:25] sebsebseb: I mean 9.04 [03:25] Freds, it should list available networks there. It can take a minute or two sometimes though. [03:25] Hansard: oh [03:25] In gparted one of my partitions has a lock on it.. how can i remove that lock? [03:25] there isnt a wireless manager of any type [03:25] Hansard: ok that could be to do with it then, since a lot of people got issues after upgarding from 9.04 [03:25] it detects my wireless card [03:26] anto9us: I'll check back later. Need to put my kid to bed. [03:26] but doesnt want to use it ;| [03:26] !xorg | Hansard [03:26] Hansard: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [03:26] well thats what i assume anyway [03:26] Freds, type iwconfig to list your wireless device: possibly wlan0. Then you can list available networks with iwlist wlan0 scan [03:26] sebsebseb: is it usual for problems to arise from distro upgrades and then ubuntu not suspending the upgrading client until the problems are fixed? [03:26] its doesnt say wlan0 when i tpye it [03:26] Hansard: not suspending the upgrade client, what do you mean [03:27] i have a picture 1 se [03:27] <_Tristan> my themes have disappeared from appearence. [03:27] <_Tristan> happened just after an upgradew [03:27] Hansard: no useually upgrades go fine, but this wasn't the case for quite a lot of people when it came to upgrading 9.04 to 9.10. [03:27] can i post an imagine in here? [03:27] image* [03:27] sebsebseb: well 9.10 was released a few weeks ago now... and you said lots of people had this problem... so why does the update window still recommend upgrading the distro?

[03:28] Freds: You can use omploader.org or picpaste.com or imageshack [03:28] sebsebseb: so it's usual for there to be lots of issues for lots of people when upgrading distro? In the future should I wait 1-2 releases behind? [03:29] anto9us, http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/1100/ifconfig.png [03:29] no wlan0 [03:29] sebsebseb: will these things get fixed in the future or will it always be the case the some people just can't upgrade? [03:29] Hansard: usueaully upgrades go fine as I already said, and if you want to stay a release or two behind, it's best to use the Long Term Support releases. Those releases can also be directly upgraded to whichever LTS comes next. [03:30] Freds: What about iwconfig? [03:30] Hansard: 10.04 is the next LTS released at the end of April, and it's a good idea to get it soon after release [03:30] it basicly shows just them 2 [03:30] im on my other os as the internet is working on here === EagleWatch is now known as eaglewatch [03:30] sebsebseb: ok [03:31] can someone point me at an upto date version of this bluetooth guide for karmic ? it wants to use bluez-utils and hidd which don't seem to be in standard install http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-setup-bluetooth-keyboard-and-mouse-in-ubuntu.html [03:31] sebsebseb: and fresh install it?

[03:31] ouyes: yes === redy_adi is now known as f33 [03:31] would have been funnier if it was released on April 1st [03:31] meh [03:32] soreau, http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/2379/lspci.png [03:32] do you need to buy 10.04 to get the LTS aspects? [03:32] Hansard: your friend, probably a good idea to rei nstall 9.10 and then just upgrade to next one. unless trying what I am thinking helps [03:32] Freds, type dmesg after plugging in to see what the kernel reports [03:32] its built in [03:32] Hansard: or you can find someone who knows a lot about xorg, that then might be able to help you. however messing around with xorg isn't exactly fun for most of us [03:32] ola gordon [03:33] marix ola [03:33] !es | pablo_ [03:33] pablo_: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés.

[03:36] Hansard: Three things that can be done. 1. try other log in screens 2. Since the log in screen might not really have anything to do with the issue, try and find someone who knows more about xorg, or find out about it yourself 3. Get hold of any data put on external hard disk or whatever, and re install [03:36] any idea why when i dualboot i have issues with the clock? [03:36] sebsebseb: ok thank you [03:37] Hansard: I wonder if [03:37] Hansard: well 9.10 gets GDM 2 [03:37] Hansard: instead of the old one, maybe the laptop doesn't like it for whatever reason, or something went wrong when it came to the upgrade [03:37] with it [03:38] In fact, about 50% of the time, Karmic will hang. It stops accessing the disk a second or two after showing the Ubuntu logo, and just sits there. The other 50% of the time, it only pauses for a second or two, then it continues accessing the disk, the WiFi light comes on, and it boots up normally. Any idea what's causing it? [03:38] sebsebseb: what's the command to reinstall the gdm 2? [03:38] ^while booting [03:39] Hansard: well there are commands to stop and re start it, not sure about those though. How I would stop it being used is by installing another one, and telling it to use that. Then if I want the other screen back again, remoe the other screen and tell it to use that. [03:40] soreau, there is no download link for the drivers on that page [03:40] <_Tristan> my themes have all disappeared from my preferences/appearance and my windows have reverted to raleigh. Can anybody help me? [03:41] Hansard: the old GDM is in the repo, but I think it's not as simple as just instaling it and using it. There's KDM, but that's the KDE one, so if no KDE stuff is already on there, quite a lot of KDE stuff will want to be installed. There's also xdm. [03:41] _Tristan: there was someon earlier with a similar issue, or the same issue, unless that was you as well? [03:41] <_Tristan> sebsebseb: that was me, you told me to restart, it did nothing but break my wireless. [03:42] _Tristan: I would guess the wireless was unrelated. [03:42] how do i download the b43 driver? [03:42] <_Tristan> yeah, I think so too [03:42] Freds: Let me check it out [03:42] okay thanks [03:42] <_Tristan> themes broke the moment my update finished [03:42] sebsebseb: ok thanks, you've given me a good headstart [03:43] sebsebseb: I also have an issue with my computer, do you know anything about wireless troubleshooting?

[03:44] Freds: AFAICT, it tells you everything you need to know [03:44] ! broadcom | Freds [03:44] Freds: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [03:44] what do i type to make the terminal type out where i am [03:44] segbsebseb: no but i always hear about ppl using nix boxes to help render [03:45] ok ill have another read-thru im a bit new to this so it all gets a bit confusing ;p [03:45] what is the current bluetooth stack, it seems bluez-utils is noo longer installed [03:45] anyone know what causes my tarball packages to give me a "configure: creating ./config.status config.status: error: cannot find input file" error when I try and build them from MonoDevelop source? [03:45] sebsebseb: I've tried that. But the problem is that it is working sometimes, those guides are for not working at all. [03:45] tomcat9, I think they are using linux right from the get-go. Not using linux to supplement a windows render. [03:45] Hansard: wireless is not my area [03:46] sebsebseb: k thanks [03:46] Hansard, what is your wireless problem? [03:46] dsnyders: no max for loonix though...theres like no 3d progarms for linux...that are any good [03:46] tomcat9: well there's Blender [03:46] is there a nice program that will give me fan speeds, and tempuratures for ubuntu? [03:47] tomcat9: which has a steep learing curve it seems [03:47] ouyes: the connection works, I can browse the internet and download, then it stops working after about 5 minutes and occasionally it disconnects completely [03:47] tomcat, there must be. Pixar, and the folks who did Lord of the Rings use them. [03:47] tomcat9: well I never tried to use it myself to make something, but yeah Blender [03:47] ouyes: reconnecting fixes the problem and it'll work for another 5 minutes or so [03:47] dsnyders: the movie companies have internal Linux software for making movies [03:47] soreau, i cant find anything to download [03:47] I just got a popup titled "gnome-screensaver-dialog" along the lines of "ReactOS FTW!!! Death 2 Linux". Has this happened to anyone else recently? === Guest15655 is now known as DaZ [03:48] i know what i need to download just it doesnt give a download link the site leads me roudn in circles [03:48] Freds: You don't see where it says 'No Alternate Internet Access'? [03:48] Freds: It says 'Obtain' and shows two links [03:49] mizai: where you get that? also that's a interesting message to get really, since ReactOS one day will properly be able to properly replace Windows for many. [03:49] ah yes i see [03:49] are they different? [03:49] sebsebseb, it was on my desktop when I unlocked my computer [03:49] mizai: probably be able to properly replace Windows for many, above [03:49] mizai: oh right that [03:49] i dont know what LTS is? :( [03:49] Anyone know where to get a memcache package for php 5.3.x [03:49] sebsebseb, I don't particularly care what ReactOS is going to replace. I don't want random messages from unknown sources on my computer [03:50] mizai: if a computer is locked, messages can be left on it [03:50] sebsebseb, ah [03:50] mizai: so someone else has access to your computer pysical access? === eaglewatch is now known as EagleWatch [03:50] sebsebseb, most likely, yeah [03:50] that's a comforting explanation :) [03:51] !lts | Freds [03:51] Freds: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04). The next LTS release is scheduled to be !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [03:51] Hey all. I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 on a MacBook, and am running into trouble with GRUB. On booting I get the word "GRUB _" with the cursor flashing, and no menu appears. I can only boot into my Ubuntu install via a rescue CD. I am running grub2, and have a menu.cfg. [03:51] ahh so im hardy as i have 9.10 === Administrivia is now known as Prodego [03:51] Freds: no [03:51] is there a software based remote viewer? One that works via an Add-on through Firefox?

Download: http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.10/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/910 [03:52] Does anyone know of a program that actually works, Xsensor's does not work to tell me temps and fan speeds === jesse is now known as Guest28252 [03:52] anyone know why that when running ubuntu server 9.10 that when i try to set a static IP it is routing out to the net? I set ip static ip in my /etc/network/interfaces and in /etc/resolv.conf I set my nameserver to my gateway. If I run /etc/init.d/networking restart it will load and I can ping out, but it's when I first boot that the DNS stuff isn't workign. Any ideas? [03:52] they arnt there :/ [03:52] There are more resources on other pages. Please select your version: [03:52] neither of the versions are there [03:53] how do i update fire fox [03:53] ouyes: no ideas? :( [03:53] anyone aware of remote viewing software that relies on A web browser that works with linux?

[03:56] sorry firefox crashed me [03:56] nevermind I figure it out. It was ebox that was doing it. [03:56] anyone know what causes my tarball packages to give me a "configure: creating ./config.status config.status: error: cannot find input file" error when I try and build them from MonoDevelop source? [03:57] Is there an alternative to any VNC based remote viewer? My Niece is behind a Firewall and doesn't know anything about port forwarding [03:57] RandomUsr_: try out FreeNX [03:57] hey room, does anybody use ncmpc? its stuck on pause and it wont start playing any song i try [03:57] jmburgess, does that work like a web based remote viewer? [03:57] nytek_: do other mpd clients work? [03:58] crdlb: no === Hansard_ is now known as Hansard [03:58] RandomUsr_: ummmmmmmmm not sure let me look [03:59] can anyone tell me what I need in order to play games on Pogo? I know it's Java but I don't know how to install it in terminal [03:59] can i use seahorese with out a password? [03:59] crdlb: i tried to google the problem, but apparenly im the only one having it lol [04:00] jmburgess, Looks like it has a DIY server, but not like using a web browser with an applet. [04:01] RandomUsr_: yeah that is very possible [04:01] prolly still need port forwarding [04:01] nytek_: mpd may require a bit of configuration before you can use it [04:01] sent me niece home with a fresh install of 9.10 and she can't figure out wine and display cpabilities. [04:02] capabilities even [04:02] can someone help me with installing the fuzion compiz icon [04:02] Is there a way to tell ubuntu to use the Super mod key as both Ctrl and Alt ? [04:02] ubuntuser79: sudo apt-get install fusion-icon [04:03] ubuntuser79: What is the problem? [04:03] crdlb: any idea what i have to configure? [04:04] edge won the royal rumble [04:04] Can someone help me with installing Java? [04:04] nytek_: at minimum you need to edit /etc/mpd.conf and set music_directory [04:04] crdlb: ok [04:05] crdlb: its set to the correct directory [04:05] Well look what the cat dragged in. It's crdlb [04:05] can anyone help me with installing java 6u18? [04:05] nytek_: does ncmpc see your music in 'Browse'? [04:05] crdlb: yup [04:06] ah, crdlb, do you know of a remote viewer that works base off of Mozilla/and some applet? something like logmein? [04:06] plz? [04:06] crdlb: its been weird, it will be stuck on pause then all of a sudden ill hit shift P to play and it will play [04:06] Magicman1264, its in the repositories [04:06] I $ sudo modprobe usbcore [04:06] FATAL: Module usbcore not found. [04:06] balsaq thank you [04:07] 2.6.33-020633rc6-generic, there is no usbcore on the ubuntu dev kernels? Everything works, sound, video, etc etc, except my sd card reader doesn't work. [04:07] Okay! Let me try this again. I am a Microsoft-dependant Ubuntu-Noob trying to get a Linksys WUSB54GC USB Wireless Network Dongle to connect to a Linksys WRT160N Router set to Wireless B/G and WPA Personal Encryption. ( Either TKIS or EAP is accepted) The Dongle works perfectly on Windows XP and Vista, and it works on Karmic when connecting to unsecured networks. Just not to MY network. I have read the article at https://help.ubuntu. [04:07] crdlb: in the configuration file, the port is commented out, you think that might be the problem? [04:07] nytek_: no, it will just use the default [04:07] Magicman1264, yw [04:08] par14h, Are you on 9.10 ? [04:08] nytek_: check /var/log/mpd/mpd.log ; it sounds like mpd is misbehaving [04:08] ok [04:08] soreau, it said it didnt understand the b43-fwcutter command [04:08] :( [04:08] Hi all. I'm trying to fix GRUB on a Macbook 5,1. My root filesystem is /dev/sda3, and I want to install GRUB to this device so as to use it with rEFI. However, when typing in root (hd0,2) and setup (hd0,2) the stage1 files are not found. [04:08] can anyone tell me why when i do "java -version" in terminal it displays "java version "1.6.0_0"" after ive installed 6u18? [04:08] Freds: Where you able to get the output? [04:09] ugh [04:09] crdlb: apparently it is having some problems with finding my alsa device. " [04:09] par14h, You there? [04:09] crdlb: "failed to open" [04:09] Freds: Were* [04:09] what do you mean? [04:09] Greezmunkey, Yes, I am. It's an updated version fro 9.0x that I installed months ago. It was updated right out of install. Oddly enough, The USB adapter worked when I used NDISWrapper. Just not AFTER I updated. [04:09] i followed the alternative internet access bit [04:09] crdlb: that definitely has to be the problem [04:09] Freds: Are you able to pastebin the command you ran and what output it showed? [04:10] greezmunkey. Odd that that didn't occur to me before now. [04:10] it said it didnt understand b43-fwcutter command [04:10] after i typed: sudo b43-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o [04:10] Is there a way to tell ubuntu to use the Super mod key as both Ctrl and Alt ? [04:10] par14h, do you remember what the interface was called when it worked? ra0 by chance? [04:11] Freds: Did you install b43-fwcutter ? [04:11] i thought thats what i was doing.. [04:11] greezmunkey, No, I believe it was wlan0. ra0 was my loopback. [04:11] powergoal: Check gnome-keyboard-properties [04:11] there is only two download links on that bit [04:11] i downloaded them both [04:11] nytek_: you might have better luck with mpd using pulseaudio instead of alsa like this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mpd/+bug/364475/comments/1 [04:11] par14h, What chipset is the adapter? [04:12] b43-fwcutter isnt one of them [04:12] crdlb: so change "alsa" to pulseaudio under the type? [04:12] Hey guys, it's me again. Now when I choose Ubuntu it won't even boot, just shows a blinking underscore. [04:12] If I import a key from the gnupg keyserver, how do I tell gpg that it's my key? I generated it on another computer. [04:13] greezmunkey, I'm sorry. I know brand, model, serial numbers and the MAC. How do I find Chipset information? [04:13] Freds: But if you read before that, it tells you to install b43-fwcutter from the cd. Basically, you go to sys>admin>software sources, uncheck everything except the cd, make sure the cd is in the drive, then run sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter [04:13] par14h, that info will do, please go ahead. [04:13] nytek_: at least on karmic, you can just comment out the alsa audio_output section entirely and uncomment the pulse one below it [04:13] well i installed ubuntu using a virtual drive [04:13] crdlb: kk, ill try that [04:13] so i have no cd :/ [04:13] help please [04:13] anyone can help me? [04:14] ! ask | yellowhat89 [04:14] yellowhat89: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) === Ganymede_ is now known as Ganymede [04:14] wouldnt it have just installed it when i installed the os? [04:14] Freds: How did you install ubuntu then? [04:14] ! who | Freds [04:14] Freds: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [04:14] OK, I have made some progress and have reinstalled my GRUB image to the necessary partition. However, when trying to boot into Ubuntu I still get the word "GRUB" with a flashing cursor. No menu or further activity. [04:14] greezmunkey: Device = Linksys WUSB54GC. Serial# = MLF00h813154 [04:14] crdlb: do i have to reload ncmpc and mpd? [04:15] sorry, so how to add permission to nobody in ubuntu for mp3 files? [04:15] Do I have to use a 64bit version to utilize my 4gigs of ram or will 32bit work? [04:15] yes, you need 64 bit to address 4gb of ram [04:15] ekim1: yes you do, but 64 bit is pretty good these days [04:15] nytek_: apparently you need to leave the server and sink lines commented [04:15] @ekim, you need 64bit instead [04:16] soreau, wouldnt it have already installed with the os? [04:16] crdlb: kk [04:16] nytek_: restarting mpd should be enough [04:16] par14h, is the adapter installed in your system now? [04:16] crdlb: how do i do that? [04:16] will it show up as 3gigs like windoze? [04:16] anyone know how to add permission to "nobody"in ubuntu for mp3 files? [04:16] greezmunkey, It's connected and the ndiswrapper has the driver. [04:17] Freds: I would think not since it tells you to install it [04:17] nytek_: sudo service mpd restart [04:17] soreau, i will have a look through the cd [04:17] can someone plz help me with installing java 6u18? ive tried multiple times and i get 6u16 when i do "javac -version" in terminal and 6u0 when i do "java -version" in terminal...plz help [04:17] par14h, OK, open a terminal window please, and type the following: tail -f /var/log/syslog [04:18] par14h, Then press enter [04:19] so when i use the 'scale' plugin on compiz (the mac expose-like one), it excludes the minimized windows from the display. any way to include them? or is that a design limitation? [04:19] crdlb: no sound :( [04:19] greezmunkey - what am I looking for? [04:19] @ALL, how to add permission to "nobody" in ubuntu for mp3 files? [04:20] nytek_: even with the sink and server lines commented? [04:20] crdlb: yup [04:20] par14h, Now unplug the adapter, wait a few seconds, then plug it back in. [04:20] hey all.. whats the best way to edit websites directly on an ftp server? I tried curlftpfs but after about 10 minutes of being idle it of course closed the connection, and for another 10 minutes my editor hung waiting for a response from server [04:20] nanotube: You could say it's a design limitation [04:20] anyone know if there is a way to keep the connection alive so that doesnt happen? [04:21] par14h, we are going to capture whatever info there is as the device comes up... [04:21] soreau: heh, what else could i say? :) [04:21] so no one will help me thats great....:-( [04:21] soreau, i have the folder called b43-fwcutter if i put it straight into the place where i took it from but on the os will it be installed, if not what do i type? [04:21] yellowhat89: files have 3 kinds of permission usually: user (owner), group and 'other' (everyone else). Try setting 'everyone else' to allow read: chmod o+r *.mp3 [04:21] !patience | H4xor3d [04:21] H4xor3d: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [04:21] Freds: But if you read before that, it tells you to install b43-fwcutter from the cd. Basically, you go to sys>admin>software sources, uncheck everything except the cd, make sure the cd is in the drive, then run sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter [04:22] H4xor3d, please try to be patient :) [04:22] mmkay [04:22] greezmonkey - reconnecting after severaal seconds. THe log says a lot about mahara... [04:22] crdlb: you think i might have to restart? [04:22] nytek_: what does the /var/log/mpd/mpd.log file say now? [04:22] i dont have a cd [04:22] par14h, OK are you familiar with paste.ubuntu.com ? [04:22] My Ubuntu install only boots up right about 50% of the time. How can I find out what's causing the problem (and hopefully fix it)? [04:22] Freds: Then when you run the b43-fwcutter, make sure you get the exact output if it fails to show us [04:22] i installed ubuntu on a partitioned drive using a virtual drive [04:23] nanotube try ringswitcher it does include minimised windows.... not as good as windowpicker however [04:23] i modified the grub2 file but still can't get rid of the menu with kernel options can someone help me? [04:23] H4xor3d: why not just use whatever's is the repositories, as the sun-java6-bin package? [04:23] greezmonkey, no. Plus, without a network cinnection, How will i get this log to you? [04:23] nytek_: I've been playing along, and it worked for me without rebooting === myn\ is now known as myn [04:23] k_: what do you want to get rid of? The OS select screen? [04:23] par14h, how are you working this now? [04:23] yes [04:23] crdlb: problems opning audio device while playing... [04:23] i set timeout at 0 [04:23] k_: Okay, I was reading about how to do this just a few days ago. [04:23] crdlb: its weird, i have sound [04:23] Can someone help me get ubuntu to recognise my laptops keyboard & touchpad? [04:24] crdlb: but no with ncmpc [04:24] k_: I'll check. I know there's a fairly simple way to do it... [04:24] iflema: what is this 'window picker' you say? [04:24] thanks [04:24] Greezmunkey, Karmic (9.1) is on a desktop machine. I have my Vista laptop here, communicating with you. [04:24] nanotube: umm how? [04:24] crdlb: ah, when i restart mpd im getting a listen: bind to 127.0.0.2 failed adress already in use [04:24] =) [04:24] par14h, do you have a jump (thumb) drive handy? [04:24] H4xor3d: what version of ubuntu do you have? [04:24] nanotube the scale keybinding for windowpicker [04:24] junty [04:24] jaunty* [04:25] hey all.. whats the best way to edit websites directly on an ftp server? I tried curlftpfs but after about 10 minutes of being idle it of course closed the connection, and for another 10 minutes my editor hung waiting for a response from server [04:25] greezmunkey - yup. all set and ready to plug in. hope it doesn't crash the system. [04:25] H4xor3d: and do you want just the runtime, or also the jdk? [04:25] jdk [04:25] =) [04:25] @Losha: chmod: cannot access `*.mp3': No such file or directory [04:26] H4xor3d: then just run "sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk" [04:26] par14h, Don't borrow trouble :) Copy and paste the output of syslog into a file and transfer it to you winbox, we'll take from there... [04:26] H4xor3d: that will install the version from the ubuntu repos, which is 6-13-1... recent enough... :) [04:26] H4xor3d: more info: http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/sun-java6-jdk [04:26] yellowhat89: which directory contains your mp3s? You need to cd there before you can do the chmod? [04:27] nytek_: my guess would be that mpd didn't shut down properly; you could try sudo service mpd stop, then killing the mpd process if it is still running [04:27] sun-java6-jdk is already the newest version. [04:27] java version "1.6.0_0" [04:27] iflema: ah so you are just referring to the scale plugin as the 'windowpicker' ok... [04:27] nytek_: also, are you using the ubuntu desktop (ie gnome)? [04:27] after "java -version" in terminal =P [04:27] greezmunkey, I'm seeing a lot of this going on in the log: "wpa_Supplicant[759] Association request to the driver failed" [04:28] crdlb: brb im going to restart [04:28] I'm installing kPlaylist, in that site said: Make sure nobody or nogroup can read MP3 files. [04:28] H4xor3d: hrm that's strange - did you by any chance install some other java from somewhere else other than the ubuntu repos? [04:28] I think that it's mean all mp3 files, not only in spesific dir [04:29] H4xor3d: because here on intrepid i'm getting "java version "1.6.0_14" and on karmic i'm getting "java version "1.6.0_15" so if you have jaunty, you shouldn't be getting 1.6.0_0... [04:29] nanotube: umm ive tried to install manually from a .bin file dl'ed from java's website [04:29] hey folks needing some help with this rt2500 I have no ap and nm says its disconnected but thankfully i have no errors in dmesg... [04:29] greezmunkey, I'm still waiting for the system to give up it's attempt to connect, FYI [04:29] par14h, control + c in the term window, then copy and paste all captured data into a new file, place that on your jump drive please! [04:29] H4xor3d: hrm well maybe if you undo whatever you did with your manual install... ? [04:29] k_: I think I know how to do it. [04:30] ill try deleting the files =P [04:30] hi all [04:30] TLUL, how? [04:30] par14h, move the file to your winbox, and open a browser...point it to http://paste.ubuntu.com [04:30] k_: If you open up the terminal and type "sudo gedit /etc/default/grub" then you should see the grub configuration file [04:31] I need to run this command 'openvpn --config client.ovpn' as root at startup, how can I do that? [04:31] In there, remove the # before the part that says "GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0" [04:31] ah === EagleWatch is now known as eaglewatch [04:31] k_: Then, once that's removed, you'll need to update the complete settings file. [04:32] k_: Typing "sudo update-grub" should do it. [04:32] TLUL, i already did that :/ [04:32] TLUL, did not help [04:32] Must flood to get attention. [04:33] nanotube: umm deleting files did not work because i do not have permission o.O [04:33] idk how else to undo [04:33] k_: You already uncommented GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 and ran update-grub? [04:33] Greezmunkey: almost there... [04:33] k_: And the timeout is still there? Hmm... [04:33] how do you disable the os selection when ubuntu boots? [04:33] it was uncommented to start with [04:33] no timout [04:33] Help, please. When I try to boot ubuntu it won't boot, just shows a blinking underscore. I'm using UNB 9.10 on an Acer Aspire One. [04:33] could someone help me with the fuzion compiz icon. [04:33] Help, please. When I try to boot ubuntu it won't boot, just shows a blinking underscore. I'm using UNB 9.10 on an Acer Aspire One. [04:33] Help, please. When I try to boot ubuntu it won't boot, just shows a blinking underscore. I'm using UNB 9.10 on an Acer Aspire One. [04:33] lolhalplz: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:33] but i have to hit enter [04:33] @Losha, i have success for mp3 in spesific dir. [04:34] ubuntuser: What's wrong with it? [04:34] yellowhat89: good. So is your problem solved? [04:34] Help?' [04:34] any tips to make all mp3 automatically handle by a group?

[04:34] H4xor3d: well i don't really know what the sun java manual installer does... so i can't really tell you how to undo it... generally, you could just delete the files with sudo - but you have to be careful to know precisely what you want to delete...

My conky cfg is right, but if I alt-tab or close a program, SOMETIMES it will cause conky to "stay on top" :P [04:38] soreau: But when i use fixvesa it works in backtrack, but no way to type that in ubuntu since its not non-graphic startup like backtrack. [04:38] JKemp: If nomodeset doesn't help you can try using the vesa driver [04:38] soreau i caont get the icon in applications-systtem tools [04:38] soreau: How would i go about doing that? [04:38] crdlb: any idea how to turn off the speaker and just use the headphones? [04:38] ubuntulog: What happens if you run 'fusion-icon' in your terminal? [04:39] soreau: Nver had a prob like this b4 :( , lol guess it happens eventually.

[04:59] Bluel: i cant change it to 60hz, before i installed the drivers it was 60hz, how can i change that? [04:59] Bluel: 185 i believe. the newest.

Any suggestions? [05:01] soreau: how can i do that? [05:01] Blue1: so i should install the 173 and try that? i had heard anything less than 180 wouldnt work with 9.10 [05:01] lolhalplz: you need to set up in your bios to boot off of a usb device [05:02] <^Phantom^> I mean I am having a b**** of a time trying to back up my data that I want to keep [05:02] dumdidumdum: Try 1) Installing simple-ccsm 2) Select None, then the Custom radio button in Sys>Prefs>Appearance>Visual Effects [05:02] crdlb: ok im back. any ideas? [05:02] rpwizard1 [05:02] futurama140: I dunno YMMV (your mileage may vary) - It's worth trying the 180 driver once [05:02] nytek_: did you see the link about urxvt?

[05:08] soreau: but you can still do the same thing with sudo service [05:08] Blue1: ok [05:08] ok that brought me to a black sceen with some stuff and then back here. [05:08] soreau; thank you it worked [05:08] dumdidumdum: Cool :) [05:08] :) [05:08] crdlb: everything is working, but when i plug in the headphones i need to go into the sound options and changed the sound output to headphones [05:08] Blue1: should i reboot after installing the drivers? also, do you get the strange pixelation when trying to reboot or shut down, and if so, is there a fix for it? [05:08] futurama140: it's easier - yes reboot [05:09] futurama140: yeah the reboot should fix that... [05:09] i am trying to install unr 9.10 on an asus eee pc, but the installer says that it cannot umount /cdrom in order to complete the install [05:09] Losha, Its of course a tough call, but I think recovering the data quickly is a priority. I suppose I will just need to store the drive in a safe place [05:09] soreau now what? [05:09] ofosho: did you md5sum the downloaded iso file? [05:10] can someone check this URL for me and tell me if it is working? www.zylblog.info [05:10] Blue1: all the drivers ive used so far have caused the weird pixel streaks on the screen which during that time the keyboard becomes unresponsive until i manually press the power button. [05:10] i believe the partitioner is trying to install to the USB stick, not the HD [05:10] the md5 is fine [05:10] Blue1: will reboot now, brb.

I think encrypting the data on an internet connected machine, or a stealable laptop is probably reasonable. For the secure backup, I'd go for accessibility and rely on keeping it in a safe place [05:13] nytek_: the problem with my netbook is the touch pad is too sensitive even at the lowest setting [05:13] is there a site with statistics about how many people use linux (and specifically ubuntu)? [05:13] Hi all! Any issues using the Update manager to go from 8.10 to 9.04?

[05:14] there was a command which i recently used to regenerate my PATH .. but i lost track of that command [05:15] nytek_: yes new to netbook [05:15] Slzar: since linux can be installed without a corporation spying on you and can come from multi vendors, its impossible to tell [05:15] <^Phantom^> I can't even fucking backup my PICTURES to my backup drive without it restarting in the middle of the copying process!

[05:17] ^Phantom^: I think its to do with your mobo.. your mobo may perhaps failed.. I had recently got the similar problems [05:17] nytek_: if you find a good solution though, let me know - http://www.pkill-9.com [05:17] <^Phantom^> c_nick: I mean Live Session option* [05:17] ^Phantom^: you need a Ubuntu CD [05:17] Blue1, Fresh install, eh? I suppose I need to burn a CD, or can I install directly from the internet yet? [05:17] futurama140: what was the error message? [05:17] or a boot able Ubuntu USB [05:17] @Losha, are you still with me?

[05:19] yeah - just a few commands that I need to know. I just don't want to look like an IRC idiot. [05:19] Blue1: You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. [05:19] Losha, so you dont recommend backing up system files? Should I just stick to /var, /etc, and /home ? [05:19] zen_master_soso, All you have to do is ask your question and monitor the channel. Everybody looks like an idiot at one time or another.

This is a busy channel, so put the name of the person you are replying to at the beginning of your comments. [05:21] dsndyers: thanks!

[05:24] ^Phantom^: do you have another Operating System [05:24] zen_master_soso, i sent you a private message, look for it on the side [05:24] I'm having trouble with Java in Epiphany -- it isn't working at all [05:24] <^Phantom^> I used to have an 8gb flash drive but it got stolen just recently [05:25] ^Phantom^: Install Windows.. try copying there and see.. you do get free software to read and write to an ext3 HDD [05:25] futurama140: okay let's try this -- go into System/Preferences/Display/(say no) [05:25] so basically you dont really require Linux to read an ext3 HDD [05:25] <^Phantom^> i used to have XP home on the internal drive, but it got virus'd :( [05:25] ^Phantom^: reinstall [05:25] Blue1: refresh says 0hz wont let me change it. [05:26] Hallo [05:26] ^Phantom^: you have to get your ass working if you want some results :P [05:26] <^Phantom^> c_nick: I tried to read the linux drive from that windows install before the virus but it wasn't able to read anything on it [05:26] futurama140: yeah I was going to tell you this is what I did - I skipped the nvidia setup crap [05:26] Ok i have a question .. i screwed up my path.. is there any way i can get back the default one [05:26] <^Phantom^> I tried it on another windows computer and same thing [05:27] ^Phantom^: try other s/w... i got one which was able to read [05:27] but i dont remember the name [05:27] Can I ask a stupid question? [05:28] aleksej: no charge go for it. [05:28] <^Phantom^> I think it is probably because ubuntu is on an external drive, or do I need to unencrypt my home folder for it to work? [05:28] <^Phantom^> Cause I've read that it won't work unless you unencrypt the home folder. [05:29] I have installed Ubuntu 9.10 on my notebook, and sound does not work. [05:29] aleksej: okay dumb answer -- did you do all the updates? [05:29] Yeah. [05:30] I installed a USB sound card to interface with my sterio but it only works for OSS and with rhythmbox. VLC or the generic movie player do not play Audio. How do I correct this? [05:30] hi all, is it possible to block updates for some packages so that "aptitude safe-upgrade " does not update those softwares ? [05:30] aleksej: okay what type of card? hint lspci | grep Audio [05:30] for example, i want no to receive anylonger update for the kernel ! [05:30] Blue1: what kind of card are you running though?

[05:31] Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02) [05:31] rudolf_: good book -- linux in a nutshell [05:32] Blue1: ah, thats probably why the older driver is working for yours then. i suppose ill just try various drivers until i find one that works, or something. [05:32] is it possible to block updates for some packages so that "aptitude safe-upgrade " does not update those softwares ? [05:32] aleksej: I have never dealt with HD so -- I can't help maybe someone else can [05:32] Is there any way to have Ubuntu stop remembering the programs that are open? I clicked Remember Current Applications once and now every time I start up, it opens the same things [05:32] futurama140: sorry I couldn't be of more help - what card do you have? [05:32] !pinning | paissad [05:32] paissad: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [05:32] Blue1: im trying to play several graphically intense games and bypassing the nvidia setup shit just didnt cut it when i tried it :/ [05:33] futurama140: I am able to run compiz okay here... [05:33] Blue1: im running a cheap geforce 210. [05:33] Blue1: what netbook do you have? [05:33] futurama140: you may need an older driver -- I don't know [05:33] jumbers: do you mean every time you log in it has the same apps open as when you logged out? [05:33] nytek_: acer aspire [05:33] Blue1: i see a lot about compiz in the forums and such but i have no clue what it is. [05:33] Blue1: how much do you enjoy it? [05:34] nytek_: well I did write an article on it [05:34] futurama140: I dunno put compiz into youtube and that should show you better then I can explain === EagleWatch is now known as eaglewatch [05:34] Blue1: send me the link! [05:35] nytek_: I'll send you the non ip one: http://dhbctucson.org/wordpress/?p=305 [05:35] nytek_: non internationalpress -- it can be a bit complicated [05:35] Blue1: ok, well thanks for the help though, im sure i'll either figure it out or someone around here will get a mental click from something i say and know exactly how to fix it from experience lol. its all about the mental "click" [05:35] Blue1: kk [05:36] futurama140: best of luck - sorry I couldn't be of better assistance [05:36] blue1, i have got that book [05:36] and i will start with it from today only [05:37] What's futurama140's problem? [05:37] Blue1: Which model of Acer Aspire? [05:37] rudolf_: it's a good place to start - but hey ask questions - that's what we're here for - ru currently running windows? === orion_ is now known as Guest14151 [05:37] yeah [05:37] aleksej: I'm gonna say - d250 does that sound right? [05:37] Blue1: im having some trouble with my headphone jack [05:37] nytek_: I bought usb headphones... [05:37] Blue1: :( [05:38] currently using windows...so i am totally a newbie [05:38] Blue1: you couldnt find a fix? [05:38] rudolf_: you may want to start with wubi - it's linux that runs under windows [05:38] im having trouble hadding repo's do i just got to "software sources-other sources-add source-enter repo-reload" but nothing is happening [05:38] Blue1> d250? [05:38] Hi I'm having an issue reinstalling GRUB after windows wiped it out. I try running sudo grub from a live cd but it says its not installed [05:38] nytek_: naw wanted to use it on my desktop too [05:38] aleksej: let me look [05:39] !fixgrub | mkagan [05:39] mkagan: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [05:39] Blue1: my problem is that when i plug in my headphones it plays out both the speaker and the headphones [05:39] blue1, i also have fedora and ubuntu DVDs.....are they not suitable for me? [05:39] Blue1: At what? [05:40] aleksej: yeah it just says d250 on it... [05:40] Blue1: It? [05:41] aleksej: I stupidly opted for 2 g of ram - god forbid I should ever use that much ram - the acer aspire - my netbook [05:42] how to reset the path in ubuntu [05:42] <^Phantom^> c_nick: http://www.fs-driver.org/faq.html#acc_ext3 <-- is that a good one? [05:42] jumbers: hello. you still need help? i think i found it... [05:42] onetinsoldier: Sure, you found a solution? [05:42] Anyone have any ideas why my wireless is capping out at about 60kB/sec on a fresh install of 9.10 when I was getting 800kB/sec+ on 9.04? [05:42] bastid_raZor, so i take it its because im booting from a 9.10 cd? should i just boot from an 8.04 cd to run sudo grub? [05:42] ^Phantom^: maybe you have to try it out [05:43] hi i have a problem with konversation, to open got an announcement that it had detected the sound hardware had been removed or something, I hit yes and now I hear no notice and if they are established, the sound hardware is properly connected, since all other pc sounds, music, videos can be heard to perfection ... someone can tell me how to configure the audio output to be used konversation? I use the gnome environment [05:43] Aboba, no idea but : assume you are in control of the access point ? [05:43] airtonix, correct [05:43] Aboba: what type of wireless card? [05:43] jumbers: i'm not certain if this is what you're looking for, but try here... System - Preferences --> Startup Applications --> Options tab [05:44] Blue1, PCI using rtl8180 driver [05:44] onetinsoldier: Well, I clicked that button and now it remembers the same applications every time [05:44] what up geoff918? [05:44] anyone, is there a reason why grub isnt installed on a 9.10 live cd? [05:44] Aboba: good support for that - dunno -- I had problems with my wireless on my netbook - had to backport [05:45] jumbers: do you have the option 'Automatically remember running applications when logging out' checked? [05:45] awlright! I'm starting to build a computer and I want it to be compatible with at least ubuntu and maybe redhat too, where should I look? [05:45] i got grub installed on my system from the 9.10 cd === Guest14151 is now known as egrep [05:45] mkagan: did you check the link ubottu sent you? [05:45] <^Phantom^> k i'll try after this batch of files fin= [05:45] onetinsoldier: It's currently unchecked. It remembers what was running when I clicked that button about a week ago [05:45] tomatoes7, were you able to run sudo grub from a terminal while running a 9.10 livecd [05:45] mkagan: the idea is that you can't mess up your install with the livecd [05:46] jumbers: roger. hmmm, i'm not sure. i'll try to look a little more though [05:46] Blue1, Thanks [05:47] <^Phantom^> OMG OMG OMG I was not remembering right. It was my 8GB SD card that got stoled, not my 8GB flash driv [05:47] rudolf_: you can use what ever distro you like but wubi is a version of linux that runs under windows -- so you don't have to do anything complicated [05:47] hi people [05:47] an installer [05:47] okies [05:48] not a version [05:48] i am going to download it now [05:48] * ^Phantom^ hurries and copies the contents of the flash drive to this computer so he can make a live stick with it [05:48] Anybody know of a Zork client for Linux? I'm searching around and can't find one. [05:48] bastid_raZor, it seems that in order to keep both bootloaders (i.e. dualboot) i need to run grub from a live cd [05:48] rudolf_: do you need the link for wubi? [05:48] jumbers: what about the 'Startup Programs' tab on that same little preference app i had you pull up. does your app show up in that tab? [05:48] which is what i cant seem to do as it is not there [05:48] Hey there, my son just installed Karmic Koala 9.10 and is looking at gnome-look.org for themes. He wants to know if he should use gtk 1.x or gtk 2.x themes. Is there a way to tell which gtk Ubuntu uses? [05:48] yeah. [05:48] how do i make the grub2 menu open each time my computer boots? [05:48] give me please [05:48] mkagan: you're not reading the page.. i do not see 'sudo grub' anywhere on the page linked [05:48] rudolf_: hang just a sec [05:48] littlegirl, doesnt really matter i think [05:48] k [05:48] onetinsoldier: Negative [05:49] jumbers: darn. roger [05:49] <^Phantom^> I just happened to have downloaded the 9.10 livecd before the restart thing began, so I'll make a livestick with it and see if it also restarts without notice. [05:49] indus: I hope not, but is there a way to find out if it does? [05:49] littlegirl, i think it only says that the theme used to come with older gtk [05:49] rudolf_: http://wubi-installer.org/ [05:49] littlegirl, but just for info, ubuntu uses gtk 2 [05:49] bastid_raZor, under "preserving WIndows Bootloader" which is what I am trying to do [05:49] onetinsoldier: If all else fails, I'll close everything and click the button again [05:49] thanx [05:49] geoff918, give me a sign that you are alive [05:49] jumbers: good luck [05:50] littlegirl, well,just drag and drop the theme,and if it doesnt install ,its the wrong theme [05:50] I'm here [05:50] rudolf_: if you have questions - come back [05:50] sure [05:50] looks like karmic uses gtk 2.18.3 [05:50] thank god [05:50] indus: Thanks, hehe, that's a good way to find out. (: [05:50] Ganymede: How did you find out? [05:50] * littlegirl uses Kubuntu. [05:51] This is our first time with Ubuntu, and he's checking it out before me. (: [05:51] <^Phantom^> c_nick: is there any way to make just a livecd partition on a usb stick? [05:51] blue1, the link you gave is reported to be broken [05:51] bastid_raZor, it says "Type grub which makes a GRUB prompt appear". When I do it on a 9.10 livecd it says it needs to be installed [05:51] when does 10.4 get officially released? [05:51] <^Phantom^> c_nick: ...or is it better to just use the entire stick? [05:51] April 29th, 2010 [05:51] What is the 9.10 equivilent of the 8.10 /grub/menu.lst? [05:51] what's a good place to see if ubuntu is compatible with certain motherboards etc? [05:52] nyaa, this is , but ubuntu works with almost all boards [05:52] ^Phantom^: usually its the entire stick [05:52] nyaa: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport [05:52] Aboba: there really isn't an equivalent. What are you trying to accomplish? there are some items in a directory that have codes as to their precedence. If you want to turn something off, you can do so there with a chmod -x type command. [05:52] indus well I'm starting to plan out a desktop for moderate gaming and a ton of stupid experiments, I want to make sure it works well. is there a recommended board or? oh. [05:52] !grub2 | Aboba [05:52] Aboba: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [05:53] nyaa, anything is recommended as far as its a good name brand [05:53] Aboba, just out of interests sake i looked in the directory : /etc/grub.d/ [05:53] Geoff918, I'm trying to add pci=nomsi to my boot automatically, since it is required to detect my sata hard drive [05:53] mkagan: are you missing the previous step? [05:54] indus: Anything but the ASRock K10N78M board which my son just installed. Apparently that board will not let him set up a static IP for his life. [05:54] littlegirl, thats not a board problem really [05:54] Aboba, the file : /etc/grub.d/xx_custom might interst you (replace xx with some unique number) [05:54] indus: It's got built in ethernet. [05:54] Aboba: okay I'd have to research that one for you. The configuration is done automatically by the "update-grub" command. The output you'll see in the grub.cfg file or whatever it is (granted, I'm going off memory not having worked with it for some months) [05:54] <^Phantom^> c_nick: k thx, i'll move the data off of it real quick...also I just noticed upon my second look at the image that it's a xubuntu 9.10 session...will that still work for what I want to do? [05:54] airtonix, yea I was just looking through those [05:55] bastid_raZor, the one that says boot from a cd? [05:55] yeah sure [05:55] Xubuntu Ubuntu Kubuntu all are nearly the same [05:55] Hey guys. [05:55] is 30c, or 86f a good temp for a hard-drive on ubuntu server? [05:55] Just wanted to say my problems are solved. [05:55] all you need is to backup your data.. just concentrate on that :) [05:55] Bye. [05:55] Aboba, looks fairly interesting to be honest... the whole setup seems to provide alot more oppurtunity for intersting things [05:55] then you can play around figuring whats what [05:56] Best of Luck [05:56] c_nick, you talking to someone in particular ? [05:56] yeah .. ^Phantom^ [05:57] <^Phantom^> c_nick: thankies... === zz_b0w is now known as b0w [05:57] welcome [05:57] <^Phantom^> heh i'm also gonna go look in my bucket of burned cds and see if i don't just happen to have another livecd buried in there somewhere heh [05:57] * airtonix wonders about the percentage of neglected support requests due to the difficulty of tracing a conversation [05:58] Geoff918, You have to update the files in /etc/grub.d/ then run update-grub to rebuild your grub.cfg file [05:58] <^Phantom^> liveusb is faster, though, isn't it? [05:58] Aboba: that's true, yeah [05:59] <^Phantom^> oh sweet i have a 9.10 livecd [05:59] * ^Phantom^ tries it [06:00] <^Phantom^> c_nick: i have a bucket full of burned cds that i just toss them into when i'm done using them, and it has like 50 or so in it [06:00] ^Phantom^: I think USB is faster.. but it should not make like a hugh difference.. [06:01] ^Phantom^: ok i hope u find what u r looking for in that bucket of urs [06:02] LiveUSB is much faster than LiveCD for me. [06:02] <^Phantom^> c_nick: ...and the 7th cd i pulled out is a live 9.10 i made to try installing on an old dell, but the old dell sucks and it didn't work so i just tossed the cd in there. i hope it works [06:02] LiveUSB is WAY faster for me [06:03] if i want not to upgrade anymore the kernel, which action should i do ? .. echo "linux-image-generic hold" | dpkg --set-selections OR echo "linux-image-generic-2.6.31-17 hold" | dpkg --set-selections ? [06:03] ^Phantom^: no problems.. it should work === traveller_ is now known as traveller [06:04] <^Phantom^> heh i hope so [06:04] <^Phantom^> cause i do have one in that bucket that was a failed burn [06:04] is 30c, or 86f a good temp for a hard-drive on ubuntu server? [06:05] LuksPartition, i used to run at 50C [06:05] paissad: you can use aptitude --> sudo aptitude hold [06:05] LuksPartition, 30°C is ok [06:05] Out_Cold: ok :-P [06:05] LuksPartition, just make sure there is airflow and all is good.. [06:05] onetinsoldier, actually, i hesitate between the real package i should block .... linux-image-generic or linux-image-$VERSION-generic ? [06:05] 30 is cold >: === user is now known as Guest65940 [06:06] Out_Cold: I put a fan in recently to help with that [06:06] LuksPartition, my tower box has 3 fans... 2 in/out 1 cpu [06:07] paissad: probably both. you'll have to figure that out ;-) [06:07] Out_Cold: this machine has drives screwed in where the cd/dvd used to be so I put a fan in the front, not blowing on the disks but venting, and it seems to be working really well so far. [06:07] paissad: the generic is just the meta-package [06:07] LuksPartition, with 30C i'd say so [06:07] Geoff918, and then ? ... i should block the linux-image-$version-generic ? [06:08] paissad: I'd just try both, the kernel should still be there regardless of update. It shouldn't just delete old kernels [06:08] <^Phantom^> ooh that 9.10 loading bar is kinda cool looking :D [06:08] Out_Cold: yea, thats what hddtemp is telling me about the sata disk, its saying the ide has no sensor which im not sure if it does or not. [06:08] paissad: you may as well it really shouldn't hurt anything [06:08] Geoff918, i did delete old kernels already, but i just don't want to upgrade anymore ! :) [06:08] LuksPartition, i remember an old windows app that used ide temp guages so i am pretty sure they are implemented. [06:09] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2#Where%20did%20my%20Grub2%20boot%20menu%20go!?!?! [06:09] how do i save and exit after that? [06:09] paissad: well, you're going about it correctly. You can do the pinning option, or you could just make sure you're not selecting the kernel packages on upgrade manually (I know, far less elegant) [06:09] Out_Cold: oh yea, hddtemp will show the temp of an ide drive, its just whether or not it has a sensor, and if it does whether or not the drive is in the database for hddtemp. [06:09] CAPcap, ctrl + x, y (yes) [06:09] <^Phantom^> If this runs for a while without - [06:10] thats Out_Cold [06:10] Out_Cold: thats what I gained from the manual anyway [06:10] <^Phantom^> oh oh oh [06:10] CAPcap, ctrl + x, y (yes), enter ;) [06:10] <^Phantom^> hey something i didn't know before [06:11] ^Phantom^, i always learn more from in here than i help... always something new, not used, unknown.. [06:12] ubottu is my study buddy ;) [06:12] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:12] <^Phantom^> this livecd session has a little disk with an orange trangle containing a ! inside of it that says one or more disks are failing. [06:12] my unintelligent study buddy [06:12] ^Phantom^, may need to run fsck in terminal [06:12] ^Phantom^: is it a smart-status report ? [06:13] in the login session whats the difference between xubuntu desktop and xfce desktop besides how they look? [06:14] ^Phantom^: That's not so cool. It's usually pretty accurate, though. If you use Pamplimpsest you should be able to run a full scan and find out *what* is the status report actually complaining about [06:15] Anyone have any ideas why my wireless is capping out at about 60kB/sec on a fresh install of 9.10 when I was getting 800kB/sec+ on 9.04? [06:15] <^Phantom^> It says the 120 GB Hard Disk (the internal one, not my ubuntu one) has many bad sectors in bold red lettering. Could that be the reason the machine keeps restarting? [06:15] in the login session whats the difference between xubuntu desktop and xfce desktop besides how they look? [06:15] mr-not-so-rich. Go away. :( [06:15] Out_Cold: back using xchat [06:15] robert__: Not lot of differences in functionality, I would imagine.

When i upgraded from hardy to karmic there was a problem with adobe plugin and it is in an inconsistent state. how do i fix it?

I made a XChat theme so join/part are dark-gray on background is less annoying. All messages are white (ie convo). :) [06:17] zen_master_soso, yes i have done that. [06:17] s/background/black background [06:18] Help with permissions: How do I change recursively the folders perms in (default) "dwxr-xr-x" and the files inside the folders in (default) "-rw-r--r--" with one command? when I chmod -R, folders&files change [06:18] zen_master_soso, it says dpkg: error processing flashplugin-nonfree (--remove):Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting a removal. [06:19] nomnex: Run a command for (inside). Then run another command (w/o recursive). [06:19] nomnex, good one. had that before. try: chmod +d `find . -type f` [06:19] nomnex: are you sure you want to go recursive with something like that? I think I broke my ubuntu install 2 or 3 times the first couple months I was using it because of commands such as that [06:19] Hi everyone, I'm looking for an app that will help with basic stock control of a car clubs merchandise, can someone here help me or direct me to the correct channel? Thanks. [06:19] zen_master_soso, gotta try this. thanks [06:20] rwhr, like excel or different? [06:20] rwhr: stock control--such as a database? or what are you looking for? [06:20] nomnex, find lists the files that match recursively, but you can limit the depth === Kravlin_ is now known as kravlin [06:20] zen_master_soso, how do I limit depth? [06:21] meh? [06:21] Flannel: ur doin it rong :( [06:21] zen_master_soso, any chance of a fix? [06:21] nomnex, man find, i think it's --depth 1 [06:21] Flannel: Thank you. :) [06:21] Yes and yes. I found an excel database template, but I need something out of the box that will work for me. I'm also running open office, but I couldn't find anything for that either. [06:21] zen_master_soso, thanks a bunch [06:21] kinja-sheep: Should've pinged #ubuntu-ops earlier :) [06:22] nascentmind, Adobe flash is still giving me problems on my system. [06:22] Flannel: should/could/would. Next time, buddy. :) [06:22] <^Phantom^> Flannel, I doubt it's connection problems. [06:22] nomnex: chmod +x $(find . -maxdepth 1 -type d) [06:22] zen_master_soso, well i just want to remove it from my system. it has broken my apt i guess. [06:22] imo works :f [06:22] rwhr: If you're looking for a good database setup, perhaps PostgreSQL? Of course, OpenOffice.org has Base which uses HSQL if you use the native server in it [06:22] rwhr, excel sheets work in open office, but you can create your own... or maybe find something that uses SQL [06:22] <^Phantom^> That person is always getting the excess flood thing. I'll bet they're trying to spam somewhere... [06:22] zen_master_soso, should i do a dpkg --remove packagename ? [06:22] <^Phantom^> OH OH OH I now know that it's not my ubuntu install that's doing the restarts!!!! It just restarted while I was in the livecd session! I'm gonna pull out that internal drive and see if maybe that is what's making the system restart like it does. [06:23] DaZ, Nice, thanks [06:23] nascentmind, don't know. sorry. [06:23] I'm not really up to speed in making a database which is why I thought that I'd try to find one already made. [06:23] ^Phantom^: or they're trying to join channels too quickly, which is much more likey. [06:23] nascentmind, I'm going to have to dig into that soon, but I'm not looking forward to it. [06:24] what does hal do in ubuntu ? like with usb switches and dialers etc [06:24] there are irc scripts that auto-join when kicked/booted, maybe they are at work and it was left on.. [06:24] zen_master_soso, how do i generally solve apt errors? [06:24] rwhr: Ah, okay. What sort of functionality do you need for basic stock control? Check-in, check-out? date-in, date-out? [06:24] even though i try to set the path via my Makefile.. it echos it on the terminal but does not properly set the path [06:25] nascentmind, Wow. that's a BIG question, dontcha think? [06:25] nascentmind, /join #ubuntu :p [06:25] crdlb: everything is working perfect now :D [06:25] crdlb: thanks again [06:25] i'm having trouble.... [06:25] i can't boot windows anymoer [06:25] Just ID, Description, Stock Number, Supplier - Purchase price and sell price would be a bonus. And of course the ability to add and subtract stock. I'm half tempted to make a spreadsheet instead, it's just the reporting flexibility that I find nice in the databases. [06:26] how to fix my boot grub [06:26] !grub [06:26] grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [06:26] rwhr: that would be easy to do with a spreadsheet. Honestly, for something that basic, a single table in OOo Base would do fine [06:26] i have 1 hd and 2 partitions [06:26] nascentmind, My current adobe flash problem has to do with the repository not being added correctly. it can't find the right package, even though the repository is listed! ARGHH! Wish I could help you more. [06:27] zen_master_soso, oh i thought your adobe plugin was not working fine on your browser :) [06:27] rwhr: You wouldn't even need a relational database, though the ability to have a table listing the supplier's names and details could be really nice. [06:27] let say i have 1 hd of 250GB, 150 GB is for windows .....the remainning is swap area , / and /home ......why now that it boot into grub....when i select windows 7 from the list nothing boot [06:27] please help [06:27] nascentmind, that is correct. But the browser plugin is still installed from a repository [06:28] Q: how do I find out if i'm running 64bit, or 32-bit Ubuntu? [06:28] <^Phantom^> Is it at all possible that it's that failing internal hard drive that's causing the random restarts? [06:28] sjohnson: uname -m [06:28] blakkheim: says i686 [06:28] sjohnson: 32 [06:28] nascentmind, did you download the .deb file, or are you installing from the repository over the internet? [06:28] zen_master_soso, yes got that. but i thought yours was not a repo problem [06:28] OK, thanks... I'll try that and if all else fails I'll be back... As for the suppliers name, etc, I could always link that to another tab, etc... Thanks Geoff918 and Out_Cold - Sorry I can't reply the way you do, I was under the impression that I could type in the start of your alias and then press [Tab] but that didn't work... [06:28] blakkheim: thanks [06:28] rwhr: You might try to set-up something basic in Base just because the whole interface is really intuitive and easy. You don't really need to understand anything about DBs in order to make one on the level you're talking about. Queries are easily pulled in the same manner (graphically) [06:29] nascentmind, mine is a repo problem. [06:29] zen_master_soso, it was installed previously. somehow when i did an upgrade everything worked fine except this. now i can't use the repo to install other packages until i fix this. [06:29] zen_master_soso, i just want to yank this out of my repo. i can live without flash [06:29] nascentmind, you can't use the repo? Why? is your sources.list messed up? [06:29] can somebody tell me how to update : DBI_DRIVER [06:29] helppppppppp [06:29] zen_master_soso, it gives the error as i showed above [06:30] nascentmind, I din't see that error [06:30] rwhr, the tab completion is client dependant. pidgin doesn't use it [06:31] Looks like ChatZilla doesn't either LOL [06:31] my pidgin does it for xmpp [06:31] Out_Cold: Apparently Empathy does. Didn't know that one, but it's nice to know the tools I love on the CLI are available to me here :) [06:32] zen_master_soso, E: flashplugin-nonfree: Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting a removal. [06:32] Thanks again all, have fun with Ubuntu, I am :) [06:32] nascentmind, ouch! [06:32] <^Phantom^> oh, i just thought of something [06:32] can somebody tell me how to update : DBI_DRIVER anybody? [06:32] I have no sound & under default mixer tracks it only gives me two options & both of them are null options. it was not like this 3 hours ago. I was playing music on Rythmabox & all of a sudden lost sound. [06:33] zen_master_soso, yes. sigh! [06:33] Geoff918, tools carried over make irc a real treat for some... i know a lot of irc bots that use cli style commands [06:33] zen_master_soso, the only option is to do a dpkg --remove i guess [06:33] Please help [06:33] nascentmind, I had a bad experience upgrading to Jaunty Jackalope. Ended up doing a fresh reinstall. === eaglewatch is now known as EagleWatch [06:34] zen_master_soso, sigh! man it took me almost 9 hrs to go through this upgrade [06:34] <^Phantom^> is it possible the usb port the linux drive is plugged into is going bad? [06:34] Please help me [06:34] I have no sound & under default mixer tracks it only gives me two options & both of them are null options. it was not like this 3 hours ago. I was playing music on Rythmabox & all of a sudden lost sound. [06:34] nascentmind, back at you. I felt the same way. mine was a horribly screwed up X. [06:35] ^Phantom^: When you were talking about your problem earlier I was wondering if you were having an electrical problem [06:35] !ubottu [06:35] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots [06:35] !help [06:35] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [06:36] * [J]ustin - [ is back ] [ Been idle: 1day 1hr 44mins 30secs ] [06:36] I have no sound & under default mixer tracks it only gives me two options & both of them are null options. it was not like this 3 hours ago. I was playing music on Rythmabox & all of a sudden lost sound. [06:36] <^Phantom^> Geoff918: i've been using the same port to boot ubuntu since october 2008, maybe that port is wearing out? [06:36] <^Phantom^> i'm gonna try booting with it in a different port [06:37] !sound [06:37] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [06:37] ^Phantom^, ports last 10 years or more before wearing out [06:37] ^Phantom^: Well, it could be that, yes. I just saw someone's USB port go down recently [06:37] <^Phantom^> or maybe it's this battery? [06:37] I change my ssh port every few months. [06:37] Fine then ubottu is my only helper [06:37] <^Phantom^> linux tells me it may be old or broken every time it boots up [06:38] zen_master_soso: Well, an old HP of a friend of mine had a USB port die recently [06:38] if fsck says: recovering journal /dev/sda1: clean, 9423/19537920 files, 32231901/78142549 blocks mean fsck found anything wrong with the filesystem or no? [06:39] nope [06:39] LuksPartition, looks like a no [06:39] <^Phantom^> maybe there's something the battery is doing that is shorting it out and causing the restarts? [06:39] zen_master_soso: aight thanks [06:39] <[J]ustin> !java | [J]ustin [06:39] [J]ustin, please see my private message [06:39] absolute newbie IRC question: how do you gracefully leave a channel (without CONNECTION_RESET, or "Client Quit")? [06:40] <^Phantom^> it's a battery from another laptop that is the same model, and i don't recall the system ever restarting unannounced before swapping the two [06:40] ^Phantom^: well, you're on a laptop I would assume then. Have you tried it plugged in constantly and see if the problem persists? [06:40] zen_master_soso: /part #ubuntu [06:40] <^Phantom^> it's always plugged in [06:41] kinja-sheep, thanks. is there a way to set a parting message? [06:41] zen_master_soso: /part #ubuntu Only if I have spent all of that money on the ropes instead [06:41] lol [06:41] <^Phantom^> Geoff918: ...especially since the inverter went bad and i am stuck using an external monitor now [06:41] ^Phantom^: Okay. Well, the battery shouldn't much matter then. Some laptops do require the battery, but others don't. My laptops don't care if the battery is in unless I pull the plug (obviously) [06:42] zen_master_soso: Some IRC clients allows you to use parting messages (by default) on settings. [06:42] kinja-sheep, just installed xchat an hour ago [06:43] <^Phantom^> well, i'm running with the hdd in a different port now. [06:43] <[J]ustin> Whats a good IRC client? [06:43] it's been a long time on IRC. I used to have a roommate that was addicted to mIRC. back in the day.... [06:44] [J]ustin: konversation or kvirc [06:44] [J]ustin: Irssi, weechat, Xchat, mIRC, Pidgin, Freenode Web-Based, Mibbit. [06:44] [J]ustin: in my opinion ;) [06:44] <^Phantom^> i'll keep an eye on the thing and see if it restarts itself while i'm on the different port [06:44] [J]ustin: lostirc, konversation, xchat, irssi [06:44] <[J]ustin> XChat looks good [06:44] <^Phantom^> thank you guys for putting up with me for however many hours i've been in here crying and complaining about my problem [06:44] ^Phantom^: it sounds a reasonable test [06:44] xchat is the ubuntu default ;) [06:45] I have no sound & under default mixer tracks it only gives me two options & both of them are null options. it was not like this 3 hours ago. I was playing music on Rythmabox & all of a sudden lost sound. [06:45] <^Phantom^> i'm glad it's not the ubuntu install [06:45] holyguyver, have you tried turning it off and turning it back on again? [06:45] <^Phantom^> when i get a new laptop in the future, i can just plug this drive into it and boot and run ubuntu on there, right? [06:45] Yes I have tried restarting pulse [06:46] faileas: irssi should be the ubuntu default :) [06:46] lol [06:46] zen_master_soso, Yes I have tried restarting pulse [06:46] nytek_: cli is not for everyone [06:46] holyguyver, that was a sort of tongue-in-cheek question [06:46] faileas: true. for some reason, it has a place in my heart [06:46] Well it failed to be funny [06:46] nytek_: for gui clients, i loke lostirc [06:46] faileas: and especially on my netbook [06:46] holyguyver, sorry. [06:46] its lightweight, but... guiish [06:46] <[J]ustin> Can anyone show me a tutorial/help me on how to make my Ubuntu desktop have a static local IP address (10.1.1.2) - Like disable the DCHP (not sure what its called) server [06:47] holyguyver, seriously, I wish I could help you. [06:47] zen_master_soso, so are you going to try & help me? [06:47] faileas: im actually thinking about moving strictly to a tiling wm [06:47] ^Phantom^: Yeah, sure no reason why you shouldn't be able to [06:47] <^Phantom^> Cool! [06:47] <^Phantom^> Thank you much. [06:47] nytek_: my spare box is openbox + cairodock . Its a nice mix of shininess ad low resource usage === EagleWatch is now known as eaglewatch [06:47] <^Phantom^> So far so good. [06:48] *and [06:48] faileas: im running xfce with about 6 terminals open between two desktops [06:48] anyone have experience with AWB? === DaZ_ is now known as Guest10583 [06:48] <^Phantom^> I'm gonna up and do some things while the thing is running right now :D [06:48] lol [06:48] faileas: i rarely use gui apps now [06:48] My only listed sound options are null, can someone help? [06:48] faileas: its scarey.. lol [06:48] nytek_: i use yakuake. about 4 tabs at the moment, but its cause i'm still not certain about my ipv6 setuo [06:48] setup [06:49] [J]ustin: Have you tried looking in Sys>Prefs>Network Connections? [06:49] faileas: ahh, you're running kde? [06:49] <[J]ustin> Any way to do it via SSH? [06:50] nytek_: kde on one box. if i were running gnome, i'd be using guake [06:50] My system as of 3 hours ago is no longer detecting my soundcard. [06:50] <^Phantom^> yay still running smooth [06:50] <^Phantom^> about now is one of the common unannounced reboot moments [06:50] I've just connected my new digi camera to my linux box how do I find the filesystem to mount it?? [06:50] holyguyver, maybe the problem IS your soundcard. [06:50] faileas: i say away from thoses wm's. i like lightweight and miminialistic things [06:51] faileas: stay* [06:51] nytek_: the other one runs openbox and guake ;p [06:51] zen_master_soso, it has worked for the past 2 years with Ubuntu [06:51] Hi. I'm currently (trying) to install Ubuntu 9.10 on my comp as dual boot (I have Windows 7 already installed). I initially made it so that I have two seperate partitions, one for windows and one planned for Ubuntu. I haven't touched that Ubuntu partition (ie: not formated or anything. Completely blank). When trying to install Ubuntu into that parition I get the following message: 'No root... [06:51] ...file system defined. Please correct'. How could I go about doing this? Is there a good online guide? Thanks [06:51] ^Phantom^: Good, good. It's late where I am, I've got to get to bed. I hope this works out for you. :) [06:51] faileas: but, if i had a desktop, i would definitely run gnome or kde [06:51] faileas: :) [06:51] can anyone help me install kde-cdemu from kde-apps.org? [06:51] holyguyver, I usually have a dual-boot win/linux setup. Can you boot into another os and check it? How about the live CD? [06:51] http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php/KDE+CDEmu+Manager?content=99752 [06:52] I know I'm talking about kubuntu stuff, but the #kubuntu seems to be AFK [06:52] No I cannot boot into a differant OS I have been using Linux as my only OS for the past 6 years (but only owned this computer for 2 years) [06:52] Jonathan_Glam, You can't boot your computer from your hard drive until you have finished the ubuntu install [06:52] nytek_: 'spare' box is a Pentium M banias 1.5. 256mb ram, 4 gb flashdrive for boot. most netbooks are more powerful. [06:52] zen_master_soso, No I cannot boot into a differant OS I have been using Linux as my only OS for the past 6 years (but only owned this computer for 2 years) [06:52] holyguyver, seriously, try booting from a cd/ [06:52] [J]ustin: ifconfig [06:53] faileas: yeah lol, thats a pretty old machine.. but the beauty about linux is that it can run on an machine. [06:53] nytek_: lol. my server is a piii 450 [06:53] zen_master_soso, so you are suggesting ym soundcard may have died? [06:53] 640 mb ram [06:53] zen_master_soso: I cancelled the install process to switch to Windows to ask about this. I won't let me install at all. Says I have to define the root file system. How do I do that? [06:53] faileas: lol, i have a lenovo s10e netbook and a acer aspire 5100. [06:53] could run kde or gnome if i swapped the video card i think [06:53] holyguyver, at least rule out hardware problems. it could be something as simple as cleaning the card edge connector. [06:53] faileas: my acer is running win7 for horrible vb programming. damn university [06:54] zen_master_soso, I no nothing about hardware, I am a software guy only. [06:54] Jonathan_Glam, you're saying that the install CD won't run at all? [06:54] change your bios so it boots to cd first. [06:55] zen_master_soso, I don't even exactly know what a soundcard is physicalled, I only know what it is software wise. [06:55] holyguyver, well, if it works with the Ubunjtu LiveCD, then you know for sure that you don't have a hardware problem [06:55] Is there anyway to revert packages after running upgrade all through the synaptic package manager? [06:55] nytek_: that's a 10 year old, second hand box. still has all its teeth ;p. only things i changed were the hard drive (i have quite a few at the moment) and the psu (which exploded) [06:55] zen_master_soso: No not at all. Sorry I didn't make myself clear. What I'm say is that when I try to install it (I go through the steps) and I ask it to install to that seperate parition that I have left for the intention of Ubuntu it asks me to have defined the root file system. How do I do so? [06:55] hi all [06:55] please is there anyone that can help me? [06:55] is the Kubuntu plasma indicator widget important? can i remove it and have KDE's notification applet do it's job? [06:55] faileas: lol, i love the fact that unix is still going strong. the community keeps it alive. [06:56] Duskao: asking intelligent questions is 90% of the answer [06:56] zen_master_soso, lets pretend that we know it is not a failed soundcard, can you simply tell me to bash script to have it re-load my soundcards? [06:56] Jonathan_Glam, This is a dual boot system which will still boot into Windows? [06:56] can anyone help me install kde-cdemu from kde-apps.org? [06:56] http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php/KDE+CDEmu+Manager?content=99752 [06:56] faileas: its the only os that can run any hardware [06:56] holyguyver, no, I'm sorry but I don't know. [06:56] faileas: and everything that is done for these machines are done for free! open source ftw! [06:56] amites how is my question not intelligent? I'm new to cmake/make stuff and would like help with it. [06:57] Duskao: it has instructions, follow them. [06:57] zen_master_soso: Not yet. I am yet to install Ubuntu. I have Windows7 running and I have a seperate partition created into which I want to install Ubuntu 9.10 (so that it doesn't overide my Windows install that I need for some specific work jobs) [06:57] Duskao: i think you can use this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~mark-baas123/+archive/ppa [06:57] Zen_Okay my sound is working again, I fixed it [06:57] Duskao: actually use this instead: https://launchpad.net/~cdemu/+archive/ppa [06:57] Duskao: Your first question was "can anyone help me" [06:58] zen_master_soso, Okay my sound is working again, I fixed it. [06:58] holyguyver, man I'm sorry I couldn't help. What was the problem? [06:58] Duskao: the second link seems more dedicated to CDEmu [06:58] amites that was not my first question, scroll up farther. [06:58] how do I know where in the /dev folder my digital camera would be located ?? [06:58] zen_master_soso, I do not know what the problem was, but the salution was "sudo alsa force-reload [06:58] " [06:58] turtle, yeah I already have the cdemu ppa in my repos, just trying to get the gui up and running, and getting errors. [06:59] zen_master_soso, I tried every bash cammand until I found one that wrked :p [06:59] Jonathan_Glam, the partition manager should do the trick at that point in the install. [06:59] one sec, I'll have it up [06:59] how do I know where in the /dev folder my digital camera would be located ?? please [06:59] Duskao: my apologies, haven't been in this room to long [07:00] holyguyver, that's a good fix. nice to know that alsa has a "force-reload" command [07:00] http://pastebin.org/84792 [07:00] hi, can anyone help me with a problem related to a corrupted filesystem? I have turned on file encryption during installation. After writing docs to it via windows ubuntu doesn't boot up anymore. fsck suggests to be run manually; boot fails with modprobe:Fatal: Error inserting padlock_sha ... === Out_Cold is now known as Guest26157 [07:00] zen_master_soso: Hmm. So it should be automatic? I'll give it another shot, if it doesn't work I'll come back. Thanks for your help! [07:00] Jonathan_Glam, be careful [07:01] zen_master_soso, have a good night. [07:01] In UNR 9.10 since there're no longer desktop-switcher package, what do I use instead? [07:01] zen_master_soso: I will. THanks [07:01] Jonathan_Glam, the partition manager could wipe your system. [07:01] Duskao: do you have the "build-essential" package installed? [07:02] Does anyone know how to make minor adjustments to gnome themes? [07:02] that could be the problem, I don't believe I do [07:02] Duskao: you need build-essential to compile [07:03] I'm gettting too used to being able to fix annoyances on my favorite websites using Stylist. Fluxbox is incredibly easy to style. How do you get started styling gnome? [07:03] actually, yeah I do [07:03] Duskao: still gives you the message? [07:03] <[J]ustin> !chmod [07:03] An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [07:03] yep, I'll remove and reinstall it [07:04] cew_cri tmn [07:04] Duskao: try reading the Readme file that comes with the source. it sometimes tells you what packages you need exactly to compile the software [07:05] How hard to tweak Gnome themes? Anyone ever play with themes? [07:05] zen_master_soso, they are xml based... [07:05] he actually doesn't have a readme with it, just the instructions on the web page. [07:06] And does anyone know how to turn the title bar off in openbox or fluxbox? I'm trying to make a "Google Chrome Kiosk" build. Absolutely minimal - just network and browser. [07:06] !who > Duskao [07:06] Duskao, please see my private message [07:06] airtonix, after editing the xml, does it need to be compiled? [07:06] zen_master_soso, you don't compile. [07:07] airtonix, didn't know that. I know where I'll be poking around when I get home tomight. ;) [07:07] anyone good with bash scripting here/ [07:07] ? [07:07] zen_master_soso, simply change back and forth between another theme to reload your changes === keith_ is now known as kbuel [07:08] turtle^s0up: did you check my pastebin before? [07:08] how can I tell what version of KDE i'm using on this system? [07:08] <[J]ustin> Is their a way to get the 'no-ip' application on Ubuntu? [07:08] airtonix, that sounds pretty simple [07:08] [J]ustin: aptitude search noip [07:08] zen_master_soso, wait till you try to get an api of the theme settings... [07:09] Launchpad reports: "Our edge server has a lower timeout threshold than launchpad, so we can catch those before they hit a wider audience." -- What is an "edge server" [07:09] bullgard: edge is the development LP server [07:09] Duskao, yes, try installing "libphonon-dev" [07:09] Duskao: it seems like you're missing the dependency [07:09] Hey guys, I was hoping maybe you guys could help me with some stuff in ubuntu. I want to learn to do development in linux like I used to do in windows. I've work with Vb3-vb6 and some .net(not much tbh) some very minor java stuff, to much php(is there such a thing) and if anyone remembers Clarion I used to build DB apps in it. So anyone got an idea of an IDE or some set of tools that I could start learning to develop visual applications for linux w [07:09] ith? [07:09] GoSox, in Gnome, you can find that info in the System monitor applet - the thing that shows your CPU usage. It's on the first tab. Don't know about KDE. Look around. [07:10] i assume i'm in KDE [07:10] !ide | Serraphyn [07:10] Serraphyn: Programming editors/suites: Terminal-based: vi/vim, emacs - KDE: Kate, KDevelop, Quanta+, Umbrello - GNOME: gvim, gedit, anjuta, pida, monodevelop, geany - Others: eclipse, netbeans, QtCreator [07:10] !develop | Serraphyn [07:10] Serraphyn: Interested in becoming an Ubuntu Developer? Get started here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment [07:10] hi, hmm, want to use dpkg to --remove but without deps... something like dpkg --remove blah --no-depends [07:10] turtle^s0up: still nothing... [07:10] <[J]ustin> Is there a way I ca view my Ubuntu desktop from a remote location? [07:11] Hi to all [07:11] [J]ustin, yes [07:11] [J]ustin: VNC, maybe? Personally, ssh is more than enough for me. [07:11] d [07:11] Duskao: you still get the same message? [07:11] <[J]ustin> Can I set it up via SSH? [07:11] [J]ustin, install X11vnc on the server. then VNC viewer on the client. [07:11] turtle^s0up: yaeh [07:11] how can i list the files with its size and word count of each file [07:11] How to get back classic Ubuntu desktop in a Netbook Remix install? [07:12] Flannel: Hm. What is meant by the phrase: "so we can catch those before they hit a wider audience."? [07:12] chakrit: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [07:12] then select it from the login manager [07:12] <[J]ustin> E: Couldn't find package X11vnc [07:13] turtle^s0up: http://pastebin.org/84796 [07:13] bullgard: They're trying to catch issues before they get moved from the development platform to the general public [07:13] faileas: oh... ok thx.. was expecting a replacement for desktop-switcher [07:13] [J]ustin, lowercase "x" [07:13] thanks for all the links, I would prefer personal reviews but I will look at those [07:13] It happens more and more often that my ubuntu system breaks down...like it is decaying.... What happens is that the window-decorator fails, so that i cannot move any of my windows. In order to fix it i have to open a terminal and run > gtk-window-decorator --replace& and then it works fine again....This is however really annoying, and i dont know why it happens...it just happens now and then...and the frequency for the event increases i think. What mi [07:13] ght be wrong with my system? [07:13] chakrit: iirc desktop-switcher was broken. [07:14] [J]ustin, just so you are aware ... vnc alone wont let you transfer and work with files locally [07:14] kinja-sheep: and no longer available in 9.10 .. yup [07:14] <[J]ustin> I just need to be able to view the desktop [07:14] chakrit: I'd suggest for you to decide which layout you want and stick with it. [07:14] [J]ustin, x11vnc does it for me [07:15] <[J]ustin> Yeah, I just need to setup user accounts ect [07:15] Diverdude: open gconf-editor ; in /desktop/gnome/session/required_components, what value has 'windowmanager' ¿ [07:15] <[J]ustin> (to lazy to walk to my room) [07:15] [J]ustin, yep then vnc is the one: it is merely a 'video network connection' [07:15] Duskao: you can try searching for "FindKDE4.make" [07:15] Duskao: make sure you have it installed [07:15] how to list the file size and word count of each file [07:16] please give me an idea [07:16] Flannel: I am tempted to swaer. I have prepared a bug report in Launchpad. I took me more than one hour. And now I only read: "Sorry, something went wrong in Launchpad." [07:16] [J]ustin, this is your challenge. Do it all from ssh! DO EEEET! [07:16] kinja-sheep: ok, thx for the suggestion :) [07:16] s/I/It/ [07:16] <[J]ustin> Unable to connect to host: connection refused [07:16] <[J]ustin> :( [07:16] luckymurali: wc --help [07:16] bullgard: You shouldn't be using the development server (no one should be) [07:16] xangua, it has the value compiz [07:17] [J]ustin, `gimme your IP address and I'll have that fixed for you. ;) [07:17] kinja-sheep ,thanks [07:17] zen_master_soso, i tried this and it seems to be working for me http://blog.ixti.ru/archives/6 [07:17] zen_master_soso, maybe that can help you. [07:17] turtle^s0up: how would I do that, is there a command for it? [07:17] <[J]ustin> No thanks. Im not opening the VNC port [07:17] Duskao: run "apt-file search FindKDE4.make" [07:17] Diverdude: it should be: gnome-wm [07:18] or use locate [07:18] [J]ustin, j/k [07:18] xangua, aha i see...is that the reason? [07:18] eww, vnc [07:18] * faileas prefers nx over that [07:18] Diverdude: that's the default value, so maybe yes [07:18] kjjjl; [07:18] <[J]ustin> Anyway, how would I be able to make the user account 'daniel' only able to view his /home/daniel/ files? (via SFPT) [07:18] whats the terminal command to configure wine [07:18] nascentmind, Thank you. I'll check this out. [07:18] xangua, okay, i have changed it....does it take effect immidietly or should i restart or what? [07:18] Flannel: I entered Launchpad normally. I did not intend to use the development server. I was guided (or should I say "diverted"?) to this server. [07:20] hey [07:20] Hi. I'm still having a problem with installing ubuntu dual boot. When installing, if I try change the partition I'm installing into, what do I do for the following options: Use as? (do I do ext4), Mount Port? and should i format even if it has nothing on it [07:20] turtle^s0up: it just returned nothing. [07:20] xangua, ? [07:20] how can I disable mouse during suspend suspend works fine [07:20] turtle^s0up: same as pressing "enter" [07:20] Jonathan_Glam, use ext3 and mount point ; [07:21] Jonathan_Glam, use ext3 and mount point / [07:21] Jonathan_Glam, use ReiserFS. [07:21] Duskao: that means you don't have the dependency [07:21] Jonathan_Glam, use ext3 and mount point / , and if you have one more partition, you can also use /home as another mount point [07:21] mouse is getting knocked during suspend and waking pc [07:21] so the dependency is FindKDE4.make? [07:21] Jonathan_Glam, ext3 and ext 4 are the default file systems for ubuntu [07:21] indus: it's Ubuntu 9.10. Isn't Ext4 meant to be better? I have other paritions for Windows [07:21] If I was doing a clean install, I'd use ReiserFS instead of ext3 - especially if you need the disk space. [07:21] etx3 is the default. [07:21] Jonathan_Glam, yes suere you can use ext4 [07:22] turtle^s0up: so the dependency is FindKDE4.make? [07:22] i need usb0 enabled so remote can wake pc [07:22] zen_master_soso: it's not a fresh install dual book [07:22] indus: ok. so just to reiterate: Ext4 as the file system and mount point / if that is where I want all of Ubuntu to be installed into? [07:22] bullgard: try checking your browser cache,maybe? [07:22] Jonathan_Glam, it's fresh Ubuntu on an existing Windows machine, no? [07:22] Jonathan_Glam,i hope that partition is empty [07:22] zen_master_soso: yes [07:23] indus: yes it's a seperate hard drive (physically) and I left it as such specifically to install Ubuntu later [07:23] Duskao: install "cmake-data" [07:23] indus: when installing windows I made sure it didn't install it at all [07:23] Jonathan_Glam, do you have another empty partition created? then you can do two mount points, / and /home [07:23] nomad77: For what should I check it? [07:23] Duskao: it seems like that's where your missing dependency is at [07:23] and another for .swap [07:23] turtle^s0up: already got it.... [07:23] Jonathan_Glam, /home on separate partition is good idea in case you need to recover stuff in case of a crash [07:24] indus: No. I just have one other partition made. It's huge (60gig) so I'm looking ot have all of ubuntu into it [07:24] i dont know what you guys have against microsoft, when you use their software you accomplish the impossible every day [07:24] bullgard: your bug-report?,maybe i misunderstood. [07:24] Jonathan_Glam,ok no problem, just use / and dont forget swap [07:24] indus: but can i have them all together? Because i sync online anyway, so crash isn't to bad (just a pain) [07:24] Jonathan_Glam, the Ubuntu installer is not going to wipe your Windows partition unless you tell it to. It will tell you which partitions it will format, so you have a last chance to double check. [07:24] indus: what's the swap? [07:24] Jonathan_Glam, /swap is compulsory [07:24] nomad77: Do you consider that I will find my lost bug report there? [07:25] Jonathan_Glam, create a small partition of around 1 gb for this, swap is like a virtual memory thing is needed [07:25] zen_master_soso: it wants me to manually do it because it says if I do automatic it will remove the windows launcher [07:25] indus: ah ok [07:25] go read a guide on how to install ubuntu or how to dual boot [07:25] they are everywher [07:25] indus, i don't think swap space is compulsory. [07:25] Duskao: try the package "kdelibs5-dev" [07:25] and stop wasting peoples time here [07:25] rileyp: yes but many aren't for windows7 and many are fairly dodgy [07:25] zen_master_soso, it is absolutely [07:25] Jonathan_Glam, but you should have a separate swap partition the same size as your RAM [07:25] crap [07:25] rileyp: behave [07:25] indus, never tested that. always had a swap partition [07:25] turtle^s0up: installing [07:26] turtle^s0up: how do you know the dependencies for this? is it just common knowlege? [07:26] Anyone know a helpful web site to setting up the client computer after you set up a server? [07:26] zen_master_soso, well its not recommened way, system has severe trouble shutting down, hibernate and lot of other issues [07:26] zen_master_soso, indus: ok I'll create a swap partition of about two gig? And I'll mount that as /swap? [07:26] Jonathan_Glam, yes ! [07:26] so create 3 partitions on your spare hard drive /swap 2gig / 15 gig and /home whatever is left [07:26] Duskao: just search the repositories [07:27] and then I make a main one with just / as my mount point? [07:27] Jonathan_Glam, don't worry too much. Ubuntu will install the GRUB boot loader on the first partition (prob /dev/sda1). Windows will boot up thinking it's the only os on the drive. And yes on the swap partition! [07:27] Jonathan_Glam, so then, 58 gb will be / and the rest will be the swap partition [07:27] that may have done it. [07:27] nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo [07:27] Jonathan_Glam, yes on main part "/' [07:27] Jonathan_Glam, yes, also do remember to tick the format option for / [07:27] turtle^s0up: that may have done it. [07:27] alright awesome. I'll do it. Thanks again indus and zen_master_soso [07:27] read my post above [07:27] Duskao: good job! [07:28] 15 gig for / 2gig for swap and whatever is left for /home [07:28] turtle^s0up: pffft, good job to you lol. You did all of it. Thanks [07:28] bullgard: well it was a web form. so i'd look there, just to be safe. try the cache-viewer extension. or not. just an idea. [07:28] np [07:28] Jonathan_Glam, I like rileyp [07:28] 's advice [07:28] now lets see if i get some karma back and my question answered [07:28] turtle^s0up: crap, new error lol [07:29] Jonathan_Glam, 15gb for / is more than enough. Keeping your / and /home separate is actually a very good idea. [07:29] can anybody send me a file to test my DCC? thanks [07:29] help with mouse disabling moise during suspend pleeeeeeeeeeease [07:29] mouse [07:29] Duskao: what is the error? [07:29] turtle^s0up: never mind, just didn't run as root. [07:30] it wakes pc during suspend [07:30] and i need usb enabled so remote can [07:30] turtle^s0up: it works fine thanks again. [07:31] np [07:31] anyone.......? [07:31] привет [07:31] rileyp: that's a good one. there's scripts in /etc/event.d that you can hook into to disable your mouse [07:31] !ru | s3r1alk1ll3r_ [07:31] s3r1alk1ll3r_: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [07:31] ill have a look thanks [07:32] rileyp, don't know of a command to disable / enable the mouse, though :( [07:33] Question - in order to set up the client side computer you have to do the SQL settings right? [07:34] Seaan whats ur req ?? [07:35] Like im just trying to understand how to setup a server... I get the concept of setting up the server side and all the permissions but after that how to you get the client side computer to connect and make to log in type stuff [07:35] im in the planning stages atm lol [07:35] Hi sorry. But is it possible for me to create a swap space after I've installed ubuntu? [07:35] just looking at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq [07:36] "Ping timeout: -1430 years" very funny [07:36] Seaan: What sort of server? [07:36] Jonathan_Glam: yes, but it's more difficult === code is now known as sync [07:36] Because I can't seem to get it to create a swap file out of my partition that I've made for Ubuntu. So maybe if I install it there then create a swap space? [07:36] file server [07:36] Jonathan_Glam: swap files and swap partitions are different [07:37] * faileas has a swap file right now ;p [07:37] delete the partition and create 3 parttions like we ssaid [07:37] Seaan: For personal use? or public consumption or what? [07:37] are there any tools to test the stability of the UBUNTU OS, conky is any a monitor tool [07:37] Myrtti: kk. Just I have this partition /sda3. How do I make the partition manager create a swap space with just two gig [07:37] personal [07:37] you need to redo part manager [07:37] start again [07:38] create 3 parttions [07:38] Seaan: The easiest way to set it up is to use sftp, On the server you install openssh-server, and then on the client you use [almost any client] and it works just like ftp. (Most GUI ftp clients also do sftp, etc) [07:38] i created this partition ages ago when i installed windows. SO i can't realy sart gain [07:38] !who | rileyp [07:38] rileyp: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [07:38] isnt it a seperate hard drive [07:39] ubottu ok [07:39] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [07:39] Jonathan_Glam: Boot ubuntu livecd, run gparted, create a swap partition, reboot into system, add the swap to /etc/fstab [07:39] And so that would make it to where when I boot up the pc i would have to log in type thing? [07:40] geirha: is there a guide online on how to do that so i can follow? on livecd now [07:40] Jonathan_Glam: The partition you were talking about, is that a swap partition? [07:41] Jonathan_Glam: if you have the sda3 and its a whole harddrive, you can further partition it in the installer [07:41] Jonathan_Glam: A generic guide to partitioning here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowtoPartition [07:42] hi [07:43] geirha: ok. So If i use GParted to format my sda3 (the Ubuntu one) to ext4. Then If I further divide it and make a seperate one for swap (which file type?) would that work? [07:43] morning! === DNS777 is now known as PeterJoseph [07:43] Jonathan_Glam: you need to go back a step from the dialog in which you pick the partition type and mount point to where you picked which partition to use and further partition that there [07:43] (gmt+1 hehe) [07:43] Seaan: Are the client and server machine both going to be on the same local network? [07:44] i just experienced that my route table was missing an routing entry. i had to add it via "route" command, so that my internet request would be routed to my local gateway. I didn't change my network settings for weeks, why is the entry suddenly missing? [07:44] Jonathan_Glam: given that you want to do it while in the installer [07:44] rileyp, did you get an answer? === PeterJoseph is now known as DNS777 [07:45] ada orang indonesia gak? [07:45] Jonathan_Glam: You don't need to wipe your current install (sda3). Just resize it to make 2Gig free, then create a swap partition (choose swap instead of ext4 when creating it) in the free space [07:46] !id | mayasaryy [07:46] mayasaryy: join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia [07:46] Jonathan_Glam: Do back up important data before doing anything with the partition table though. [07:46] !id zen_master_soso [07:46] di server mana? === yadi is now known as cew_virgo [07:47] geirha: the thing is though. That it is a completely clear partition. Nothing at all on it. So I want to make 58gig of it ext4 and 2 gig swap. how can I do that easiest? [07:47] Seaan: If it's all on the same network you can use Samba which works like windows file sharing. [07:47] chat rileyp [07:47] oops [07:47] This happens in Ubuntu, but I strongly believe it would happen with Ubuntu as well. Whenever I try to install, I am greeted with a message about not being able to remove restricted files. What do I do to fix this? [07:48] geirha: if I go to New Partition table I believe it resizes my whole sda drive. Instead of just sda3 [07:48] er, happens in Kubuntu, I mean. [07:48] rileyp, i was going to ask if you got your problem fixed [07:48] Jonathan_Glam: Ah, if it's already empty, just remove it, create an extended partition in its place, and create an ext4 and swap inside the extended. [07:48] geirha. sda3 is completely free. sda1,2 and 4 are used for windows [07:49] what determines if a drive is sda or sdb? I made a fresh install on my hdd and that became sdb and I moved my other disk to that system which became sda [07:49] s/became/is seen as/g [07:49] #ubuntu-id di server mana yah ? [07:49] Kartagis: location on the sata/ide cable [07:49] Jonathan_Glam: You are limited to four (primary) partitions, which is why you need to make one (primary) partition an extended. Inside extended partition you can have many logical partitions. This is a limitation from olden days. [07:49] #ubuntu-id di server manaa yah ? [07:50] mayasaryy: /join #ubuntu-id === yadi is now known as cew_cri [07:51] Myrtti, does that mean sdb will be seen as sda if I just switch cables? [07:51] PrototypeX29A: had you added the route manually? [07:51] geirha: ah works i believe! [07:51] is the Kubuntu plasma indicator widget important? can i remove it and have KDE's notification applet do it's job? [07:51] Kartagis: yes. if you use uuids in fstab, it shouldnt have any effect to your system [07:52] how to make network on ubuntu ? [07:52] turtle^s0up: try #kubuntu? [07:52] !network [07:52] Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [07:52] turtle^s0up: you could try it and see how it works, it' super easy to reinstall it if you need [07:52] thanks Myrtti [07:53] turtle^s0up: also I wouldn't try the #kubuntu cause it's dead/afk [07:53] Duskao: you're right, i was just wondering if someone could explain it further [07:53] thanks [07:53] mayasaryy: do you want to share files or connect to the internet? [07:53] Duskao: lol, i tried their earleir [07:54] mayasaryy: what do you mean by "make a network"??? [07:54] Duskao: askin instead of lurking usually helps ;-) [07:54] geirha: oworks. thank you so much! [07:54] make networks not war =) [07:54] turtle^s0up: to be honest, I think it is the applet. I'm not sure there is a notifier if you get rid of the widget [07:54] geirha, Myrtti: thanks again! [07:54] Jonathan_Glam: Great :) [07:54] i wanna learn about make network structure to my LAN [07:54] SolarisBoy: only this time, usually it does find the gateway itself [07:54] geirha, Jonathan_Glam : no, thank you [07:54] Myrtti: I agree, but it's afk, I'm on their now and have been for the last couple hours. [07:55] Myrtti: and done my fair share of asking questions or trying to help if I can. [07:55] mayasaryy: a network is more then one computer sharing information?? [07:55] so you lost your default gateway entry? === yadi is now known as cew_cri_tmn [07:55] mayasaryy: I don't quite understand, but it sounds like you want to share files? [07:55] Duskao: it seems like it's new to ubuntu/kubuntu, i think part of the new usability initiative [07:55] mayasaryy: no mystery behind linux just what are you doing with the network [07:55] Duskao: patiece is a virtue, it's still quite early in europe, which may explain the silence [07:56] Myrtti: perhaps. [07:56] no, how make structure of LAN [07:56] SolarisBoy: as the route table seems to be created dynamically, the problem seems to lie in the creation of the table [07:56] mayasaryy: connect cables? [07:56] turtle^s0up: Yeah, I really like to to be honest, and kde 4.4 is pretty sweet, or will be once the bugs are worked out, very widget oriented. [07:56] SolarisBoy: i should be automatically added [07:57] mayasaryy: do you want to set up dhcp and dns servers for your lan? [07:57] Duskao: do you use the gmail-plasmoid widget on KDE 4.4? [07:57] PrototypeX29A: other things can cause an entry to go missing [07:57] mayasaryy: Well you have a server and computers attached to server if not you all computers in a lan without centeral station all are responsible for the netowrk??? more like a hub party [07:57] yeah like it [07:57] SolarisBoy: that should not happen, should it? [07:57] turtle^s0up: nah, I downgraded back to 4.3 cause kwin was crashing a lot. Still lots of bugs to be worked out. [07:58] PrototypeX29A: not usually i've seen it happen occasionally before [07:58] anyone know a good easy to read introduction to the X session lifecycle? [07:58] even rebooting did not help, if it wasn't me being such a smart guy i would be seriously messed up [07:58] mayasaryy: which do you have a server and computers... or hub party ??? [07:58] #surabaya [07:58] PrototypeX29A: did the router have an issue at any point? [07:58] Duskao: yeah, that's why i'm staying with the stable. the gmail-plasmoid didn't work and krunner would crash all the time. [07:58] SolarisBoy: i don't think so [07:59] PrototypeX29A: do you use DHCP? [07:59] i guess, so [07:59] hmm [07:59] sory i have much trouble about network, but i can speak more, because my english too bad [07:59] turtle^s0up: yeah, had the same issue, lots of widgets weren't working properly at the time either. but the widget setup was great [07:59] SolarisBoy: i just stopped working correctly [08:00] mayasaryy: you need to learn networking 101 [08:00] PrototypeX29A: do you use network manager or interfaces file? [08:00] where i can get it [08:00] SolarisBoy: i use the "Network Connections" in the menu [08:00] Duskao: KDE folks are doing an awesome job, really good progression [08:00] PrototypeX29A: ifconfig [08:00] also check dmesg output for line pertaining to your eth* [08:01] archboxman: ifconfig what? === per is now known as Guest42920 [08:01] actually try ethtool [08:01] for what? [08:01] errors [08:01] yes check your connection [08:01] ping the router box [08:01] now it is working [08:01] correct but looking for what happend right? [08:02] it just does not add the route entry anymore [08:02] hi, i'm experiencing rendering errors with compiz-fusion, especially when moving the 'cube', i have the latest nvidia drivers, does anyone know how this is possible? [08:02] so next time i'll boot i will to manually add it again [08:02] no... [08:02] thats not a solution... [08:02] its a workaround [08:02] SolarisBoy: that's why i am asking :) [08:02] PrototypeX29A: call your isp and check if they had trouble or disconnection first [08:03] PrototypeX29A: so have pinged the router/ and done the ethtool like we asked yet? [08:03] and checked dmesg and messages file? [08:03] SolarisBoy: i don't know what the point in pinging the router is, if it obviously works [08:03] if := when [08:03] 'lol [08:03] packet loss? [08:04] intermittent errors? [08:04] link up link down error in message file? [08:04] things like this are good to know,, ifconfig contains errors in a counter format,, so it would have errors collected on the interface no? [08:04] PrototypeX29A: is this wireless??? [08:04] archboxman: yes, it is [08:05] lol [08:05] iwconfig [08:05] fail [08:05] and then? [08:05] SolarisBoy: you want to tell me something? [08:05] PrototypeX29A: also you need to know if the laptop / desktop or netbook are within range [08:05] maybe you should reboot the router [08:06] Hey, im trying to get php 5.3 running on Hardy Heron. Can anyone point me in the right direction. Having issues getting it working [08:06] SolarisBoy: Great suggestions ... :) [08:06] PrototypeX29A: yes [08:06] you answers seem a little bit generic, like "maybe your house is on fire" [08:06] PrototypeX29A: trying to point you to checking the connection between the laptop/desktip and the router [08:07] PrototypeX29A: no [08:08] whats this then [08:08] PrototypeX29A: what we are trying to see is if your connected... Usually start with logs to check for errors of send and recieve ... If you think its hardware then you need to give us insight [08:09] archboxman: right now, i am connected [08:09] a route can go missing if it becomes invalid,, you said you added your default gw back after you rebooted,, apparently there was an issue with your gw router [08:09] archboxman: i am chatting via this wifi connection [08:09] any ideas? [08:09] PrototypeX29A: only way to cheek a paste expereince is to check your logs... [08:09] i have a problem using ubuntu [08:10] archboxman: exactly [08:10] archboxman: kern.log? [08:10] actually.. [08:11] i don't even know which tool failed me [08:11] depends on syslog settings [08:11] can anyone help me plz? i've a problem using ubuntu [08:11] PrototypeX29A: your assuming its ubuntu more then likely its your provider seems I got disconnected the other day and service providers basic anwser is to give you there down right no [08:11] this is why i said do ethtool ifconfig ping the router checking for intermittent things like packet loss etc... [08:12] and before you blame the provider you should investigate whichever devices are intermediary,, [08:12] anyone know how to backup and migrate my installation to new hardware?...say from laptop to a desktop. [08:12] archboxman: i don't understand [08:13] is there a way to tell which files are currently being written too..? [08:13] but listen,, are you directly connected to the internet PrototypeX29A ? [08:13] SolarisBoy: right now the connection seems fine, no packet loss or whatever [08:13] SolarisBoy: i am connected via router [08:13] because a blip in the netwoerk even on the ISP level shouldn't affect you LAN [08:13] PrototypeX29A: got to check the range from the wireless device mine gives 63% signal gain [08:13] at all [08:14] i3inary: install on new machine, use rsync to copy your home directory [08:14] you would still be in communication with nodes on you LAN [08:14] lfitz: man lsof [08:14] SolarisBoy: the lan is fine [08:14] SolarisBoy: unless all you are doing is connecting to internet??? [08:14] :D thanks geirha [08:14] PrototypeX29A: ... [08:14] my problem is: if i try to compile a program with scons, there are error messages (sh: o: not found). i've already installed (and even re-installed) gcc, g++, scons, build-essential and it still doesn't work [08:14] kevinprince, would that handle all the packages that i have installed and configured? [08:14] PrototypeX29A: i think we are having a loss in communication [08:15] SolarisBoy: may be [08:15] Need a little command gedit , what i'm asking is there anything i can put after the gedit part without actually thping those files file names in? [08:15] PrototypeX29A: im just basically trying to help you find why your route is needed to be manually added [08:15] ooops scratch all that [08:15] regardless of what works now [08:15] PrototypeX29A: you want to know why the internet connection was right???? [08:15] was down [08:16] you should never have to manually add a route back on each reboot... [08:16] SolarisBoy: i'm just saying, that the wlan was working all the time, at any point was able to ping my router [08:16] at worst you can slip in one of the start scripts to avoid that... [08:16] Need a little command help, touch file1 file2 && gedit , what i'm asking is there anything i can put after the gedit part without actually typing those files file names in? [08:16] hey. what's the best way to get grub in the MBR after installing Windows on a computer? [08:16] PrototypeX29A: ok so at which point did you lose the default gw entry? [08:16] PrototypeX29A: who is your isp??? [08:17] fsufitch, super grub disc is a great grub fixer distro [08:17] <[J]ustin> Any reason I am getting this when I connect via SSH? WinSCP: this is end-of-file:0 [08:17] i mean you can do it manually too [08:17] SolarisBoy: after rebooting [08:17] kindofabuzz: better than ubuntu live CD? [08:17] (or live USB in my case) [08:17] archboxman: some local spanish provider [08:17] fsufitch: I used to do it with grub-install, but I haven't had to in a REALLY long time, so I can't do any more than point you in that direction [08:17] fsufitch, well with the ubuntu live you have to still know how to fix your grub, Super Grub Disc can do it automatically [08:18] and you use your ISP's router directly via wireless? or you have your own netgear/linksys etc router doing NAT and your LAN? [08:18] archboxman: orangeadsl [08:18] SolarisBoy: there is a router in between [08:18] because im trying to understand why you would need to add a route back to get to the internet that wasn't the route to your NAT router... [08:18] kindofabuzz: the problem is that my CD drive is sort of... broken. so i'm not sure it would even boot from SGD. it doesn't boot from live ubuntu CD... [08:19] SolarisBoy: it is the route to the router i was adding [08:19] ok so what route do you have on your route table that wasn't manually added that affects you reaching the internet? [08:19] kindofabuzz: is there a way to get SGD on a USB drive? [08:19] I suppose you could put SGD on an flashdrive. [08:19] fsufitch, probably [08:19] SolarisBoy: add -new 0.0.0.0 gw 192.168.0.1 or something like that did it [08:19] ok so as i said its your default gw that was lost,, so have you checked for any issue in connectivity to and from? yet? [08:19] SolarisBoy: actually the default route to my router was missing [08:19] I know it's possible to put any bootable image on a flashdrive, but I've never done it in not-macOS, so I am not familiar with the procedure. [08:19] Guys. Is there any way to replace gnome with xfce without wiping and reinstalling ubuntu? [08:19] Yes. [08:19] PrototypeX29A: this is what i said initially [08:20] cthulhu2: yes, but it's a bit tricky. [08:20] kindofabuzz: oh duh, i'm stupid. "jfgi" is the proper answer to that: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/SGD_Howto_make#How_to_make_a_Super_Grub_Disk_USB. [08:20] tonyyarusso is it something you think you might be able to walk me through? [08:20] http://www.supergrubdisk.org/index.php [08:20] so have you checked for any issue in connectivity between the router and your box yet? in messages, ping, ethtool, etc? [08:20] SolarisBoy: i'm not sure for what issues i should be looking [08:20] i told you [08:20] =) [08:20] SolarisBoy: have problems with comcast not giving computer access unless on network for 24 hours weather wireless or land line... they refuse this because of people drive by and scan and connect all the time... [08:20] i did a ping, there is no packet loss [08:20] (i told you) [08:21] cthulhu2: You'd have two choices. 1) Install xubuntu-desktop and then manually remove each one of the gnome-only packages. 2) Remove GTK libraries willy-nilly and watch the gnome stuff get removed as dependencies, stripping down to a command-line only system, and install xubuntu-desktop from there. [08:21] for ethtool i don't know how to use it [08:21] archboxman: interesting [08:21] tonyyarusso that can take quite some time, can't it. Is that something you think you could do over vnc? [08:21] archboxman: funny you mention comcast one of my clients =),, their IT is really horrid [08:21] Im a bit new to linux tonsofpcs [08:21] tonyyarusso I mean [08:21] SolarisBoy: No they went to this policy about year ago === ShazbotMcMurder is now known as ShazbotMcNasty [08:22] cthulhu2: Not any faster than you could ;) [08:22] PrototypeX29A: and messages logs? no blips no eth link issues? nothing in ethtool ifconfig no errors or collisions? [08:22] tonyyarusso well you actually know how to do it. I have no clue and will probably mess something up. You got the time to help me out? I would greatly appreciate it. [08:22] what this diss about ? [08:22] and again ... do you use DHCP...? [08:23] hello, I have atheros ethernet card, after restart ubuntu to windows xp, it shows no connection, how can I fix it? [08:23] cthulhu2: unfortunately, no. It's 2AM here, so time for me to hit the sack. [08:23] tonyyarusso Ah, okay. Thanks anyways! [08:23] cthulhu2: good luck! [08:23] archboxman: i use time warner [08:23] SolarisBoy: no error if comcast or local company refuse mac address from computer.. Had to use some program to fool them into believe the mac address was the same [08:24] wondering if anybody uses the webcam on empathy here i'm a noob having problems [08:24] SolarisBoy: hmm there is one line in dmesg which looks suspicious, i will paste it [08:24] archboxman: usually the router would have the feature to clone the workstation mac addy [08:24] that effectively solves that issue [08:25] SolarisBoy: usually so ,but comcast has some program that pushes past my router to see the mac address.. [08:25] lol [08:25] SolarisBoy: http://pastebin.com/m45b28590 [08:25] the last lines [08:25] how can i specifically install 2.6.32-16 kernel?

[08:28] that is likely that they do throttling [08:28] thats probably the issue [08:28] !who !enter !rage [08:28] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [08:29] * airtonix desires order [08:29] hey all [08:29] im trying to get my iphone to sunce with ubuntu 9.10 can anybody help [08:29] sunce? [08:29] i tried using this http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-connect-iphoneipod-touch-using-usbin-karmicjauntyintrepidhardy.html [08:30] but it didnt work [08:30] SolarisBoy: oh well no biggy to me I just wait 24 hours and wow there both up... The only funny thing was the netbook I returned seem not to wait for 24 hour hook up just worked out the box [08:30] hi guys i have a question, i use to connect to my work pc with ssh and a password...so i have to insert the passphrase every single time....is there a way to store the passphrase somewhere so i have to insert it only the first time? [08:30] babbio [08:30] archboxman: is everything you talking about behind the same NAT'd IP? [08:30] babbio, yeah i can walk you through it [08:31] kindofabuzz: what?? [08:31] anybody able to help with the iphone? [08:31] SolarisBoy: oh yes.. even though I may have connected via my next door neighbors router.. [08:31] SolarisBoy: leaves the router unsecure [08:31] there may be other things at hand then [08:32] babbio, first run ssh-keygen -t rsa [08:32] you neighbor likely using comcast as well correct? [08:32] i already have the rsa key [08:32] robert__: sell it and buy an N900 or a Google Android. [08:32] its through work so i cant [08:32] i used these directions but it didnt work http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-connect-iphoneipod-touch-using-usbin-karmicjauntyintrepidhardy.html [08:33] Can some one tell me how to trade space on my Windows XP partition and give it to my Ubuntu partition? [08:33] archboxman: where do you see an issue.. you say wait 24 hours and their both up,, meaning what? [08:33] archboxman: you receive an IP from your neigbors router,, however internet connectivity is not active for up to 24 hrs? [08:33] babbio, ok, now ssh-copy-id ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub user@server: [08:33] SolarisBoy: Comcast new policy [08:33] robert__: did you try the weupd8 guide? http://www.webupd8.org/2009/11/complete-guide-to-mounting-your-iphone.html [08:33] babbio, drop the : [08:33] archboxman: gotta look it up haven't heard about it =) [08:34] kindofabuzz: what package is ssh-copy-id installed by? [08:34] turtle: let me take a look [08:34] SolarisBoy: Comcast tech asked before leaving house would I connect more then one computer because it needed time to configure [08:34] SolarisBoy, i guess just the main ssh one === Guest10583 is now known as DaZ [08:35] kindofabuzz: odd i have been looking for it on some hosts @ work which have openssh* packages but to no availability =( [08:35] SolarisBoy: behind the router [08:35] babbio, another way is just to scp or whatever the id_rsa.pub over to server:~/.ssh [08:35] how do i know for sure what version i am running in terms of animal [08:35] had to manually copy the keys [08:35] its 9.10 [08:35] archboxman: that sucks [08:36] kindofabuzz: i have this error /usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: ERROR: No identities found [08:36] SolarisBoy: not really just use the laptop with Linux Mint or Arch Linux for business... The desktop is not really a primary computer [08:36] babbio, are you on ubuntu? [08:37] i've had/have up to 5 ip's active behind my NAT 2 linux boxes one windows (roomate) iphone and 1-2 laptops [08:37] yes i am [08:37] robert__: if your ever unsure in the future, you can always type "lsb_release -a" to get the version of Ubuntu [08:37] robert__: 9.10 is Karmic Koala [08:37] hmmm looking for what package hold it. babbio you could just scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub user@server:~/.ssh [08:37] im back [08:37] you're* [08:37] thank you [08:37] np [08:38] i think there is actually a dpkg option that tells kindofabuzz =) just to lazy to look it up [08:38] is there some program that will print out my computer configuration, cpu, ram, hard disks...? [08:38] I need help to disablemouse during suspend [08:38] let me see if i can get this working [08:38] I made my Ubuntu partition too small, 13GBs... are there any programs that can take some space from my huge Windows partition and give it to my Ubuntu? [08:38] like dpkg - /path/to/pkg [08:38] csaba: look into lshw [08:38] kindofabuzz: needs to properly permission those keys as well or check that they are [08:40] masterjake_net: 13GB is enough space [08:40] muose is waking up pc when its bumped [08:40] masterjake_net: repartitioning is always tedious on linux [08:40] I need to disable mouse during suspend [08:41] masterjake_net: i suggest you create symbolic links to a separate larger hard drive or partition and keep your large files in that folder [08:41] SolarisBoy, it's part of openssh-client package [08:41] i need usb0 enabled though so remote can wake [08:41] hi all, I run xubuntu 9.04 and thinking of upgrading or clean installing 9.10... I read the release notes saying that Grub won't be upgraded to v2 if I do an upgrade. Is that the major difference between upgrade and clean install ? I'm worried that I won't be getting the full 9.10 experience and improved performance ? [08:41] kindofabuzz: interesting [08:42] blip-: you can install Grub2 on 9.10 [08:42] Can I mount the windows partition consant? Like not have to mount it every time I restart. [08:42] blip-: it's pretty easy [08:42] they must be hiding it.. they do that =) [08:42] turtle^s0up: ok. would it be a good idea to delete ~/.xfce and a bunch of others in order to 'reset things' and make sure it goes smoothly ? So far I've never upgraded , I always clean install [08:42] masterjake_net: think need ntfs-tools to do it [08:42] blip upgrading has issues [08:42] SolarisBoy, it always installs by default since dapper for me [08:42] blip-: IMO nothing too noticeable in grub2 [08:42] kindofabuzz: use RHEL at work [08:42] darn what am i doing wrong that wont let this work [08:43] like wont login automaically after upgrade [08:43] i've got it here =) on my ubuntu [08:43] blip-: backup before you delete, just rename the file. it's good idea to remove old config files when you upgrade [08:43] rileyp: are they noticable issues that I can then fix ? or random crashes and slow downs ? [08:43] babbio, get it working? [08:44] Anyone know how i can install/configure drivers for my Intel card [08:44] turtle^s0up: ok so I will rename all dot directories including firefox, gtk etc.. [08:44] Hi. I'm trying to enable Desktop effects and to do so it says (http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2009/12/20/how-to-install-docky-in-ubuntu-9-10/) to install my propierty driver. I did so as described however now my screens are working really unusual (i have dual screens). My right screen is now my main screen, and my left screen is only half used === am4zin is now known as amazin [08:44] I dled updates that said they had intel drivers, but still can't enable effects or adjust resolution. [08:44] blip all are fixable [08:44] what could be the reason of this? I've tried to move them under System > Appearance > Display but it won't change [08:44] babbio, this would be the *nix way if the ubuntu way didn't work: http://www.linuxproblem.org/art_9.html [08:45] blip google each one as you find them [08:46] Hello , when i installed windows-7 on my machine , my grub was erased , i fixed the grub using the Live-cd but now the Ubuntu is loading on the start and i cant see menu where i can choose between the 2 operating systems , how can i make the grub to show up menu ?] [08:46] rileyp, turtle^s0up: thanks. one final thing, what do you think of ext4 on a laptop ? I won't be converting to ext4, if I want that i'll reinstall [08:47] blip i dont see any probs [08:47] turtle^s0up: I can already read and write to my NTFS Winxp partition what does NTFS Tools do then? [08:47] blip-: ext4 has been good for me [08:47] Shay27: nano /boot/grub/menu.lst [08:47] stupid question probably: I took a screenshot (printscreen) and saved it to my desktop, and if I go to properties I can see that the file is owned by () -- does this kind of personal information get saved to the picture or is it just me that can see it? I want to upload this file to the internet, but not risking to lose my anonymity [08:48] masterjake_net: the tools are partitioning and working with NTFS disks [08:48] does anyone know how to get a built in web cam to work with empathy i'm a noob and im having problems [08:48] the file likely get permissions changed to the web user for your account [08:48] Hello :) [08:48] Anyone good at xorg.conf? [08:48] kindofabuzz, i dont have ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub... i only have "known_host" in my ~/.ssh [08:48] karpus, no [08:48] karpus: I'm pretty sure saved on the image, jpegs have fields for a bunch of other things like type of camera etc.. [08:48] you can check the properties for extra details that may be in the image file and remove them [08:48] karpus the file once uploaded will belong to website uploaded too [08:48] masterjake_net: assuming you are talking about "ntfsprogs" package? [08:49] elgh: what you want have to play with xorg.conf all the time in Archlinux [08:49] hi all [08:49] turtle^s0up: oops wrong program [08:49] SolarisBoy: any good program for that? [08:49] babbio, then you didn't creat an rsa then, as user, ssh-keygen -t rsa [08:49] kindofabuzz, i read the link just now....i'll check it out [08:50] depends on OS your on [08:50] does it possible to load the other operating system from the Ubuntu ? so i can switch between the 2 operating systems by key ? [08:50] anyone know how to see what devices mounted from terminal hdd usb etc [08:50] masterjake_net: oh, i see you are talking about ntfs-config then [08:50] ubuntu 9.10 x64 [08:50] archboxman, after editing my xorg.conf, which is very basic, my cursor turns into a green square... [08:50] help with mouse and supsned please peoples [08:50] kindofabuzz, the rsa key was created by my boss [08:50] i think just plain properties will due for most image file types [08:50] babbio, once you do that you will have a ~/.ssh with two files in it. id_rsa and id_rsa.put [08:50] pu b [08:50] masterjake_net: it's for configuring NTFS, mounting on boot, and working with USB flash drives [08:50] is there an alternative to gtk-recordmydesktop? its just slow beyond all recognition [08:50] babbio, ok then, point the ssh-copy-id to the right directory then [08:51] masterjake_net: it's like a GUI tool for working with your fstab [08:51] but you can use something fancy like gimp or imagemagick (maybe) for linux or irfanview for windows [08:51] anyone, just installed ubuntu 9.10 and wife wants to goto www.iwin.com can't get it to work. [08:51] 1 [08:51] turtle^s0up: Is there a way to auto mount my windows partition when I start up and have it be the same name so shortcuts work each time. [08:51] babbio, ssh-copy-id /path/to/rsakey user@server [08:51] elgh: read some file that can change colors in terminal hold on [08:51] however the actual file permissions your referencing will be changed when you upload to whoever the server is configured to use [08:51] elgh: don [08:52] master jake [08:52] add to fstab [08:52] elgh: no sure it is to due with xorg though [08:52] anyone know how to see what devices mounted from terminal hdd usb etc [08:52] mehee lsusb [08:52] df [08:52] mount [08:52] can anyone get their webcam to work on empathy [08:52] mehee ls /sd* [08:52] masterjake_net: yes use ntfs-config, start it as root "gksudo ntfs-config" [08:53] elgh: xorg.conf is for screen vector and setting up mouse and keyboard [08:53] archboxman: I have to eat some, are you here in about 15 min? [08:53] masterjake_net: or it should ask you for the password [08:53] all devices are named sd* on ubuntu? [08:53] elgh: yes will work on your idea [08:53] archmanbox: sweet, coming back in a while. [08:54] ribasushi: thats not the corect command [08:54] rileyp: thats not the corect command [08:54] mehee: you can use df or mount [08:54] SolarisBoy: ok I see, thanks for your help [08:54] karpus: no problem [08:54] kindofabuzz, same error as before : /usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: ERROR: No identities found [08:54] mehee I tried....

The screen is blank. Can't load live CD either. [09:40] and ftp:/ and so on, but doesn't seem to work. o.k. I try ssh:// [09:40] brand0n, although I have never used it so research it first [09:40] hi [09:40] coz_: http://pastebin.com/m3c277b89 <----my jockey.log === VoX is now known as vox [09:40] anyone have any idea why I might be seeing what seems like two signals on a single source when tuning through my hvr-1800?

[09:50] pat|nG, its understandable ...especially when new...to get frustrated when answers are not always immediate...however...everyone here works for free for many hours...so a little patience goes a long way :) [09:50] SolarisBoy, I didn't find anything useful. According to fuser that uuid was not found in /media (where the other command said it was already mounted). And I found nothing with lsof to suggest that there was already a connection. But I went back and reinserted the line in fstab, ran sudo mount -a again and now it works. The fstab line is just "UUID=c3491a67-4c06-4bab-8bc7-56d1d0164b11 /home/duncan/storage ext3 users 0 1" do you see anything wro [09:50] ng with that? [09:50] i can wait for hours but tell me "fix it urself" is not acceptable for a new starter! [09:50] elgh: I will look at it , but again no system is designed at this time to hold the xorg.conf accountable for data entry or retrival [09:51] awkie now! sorry! i'll stop! i'm cool! [09:51] pat|nG, I am not saying wait for hours I am saying many here stay online for many many hours...and yes "fix it yourself" is not acceptable [09:51] pat|nG: why don't you read all what i wrote? [09:51] pat|nG, actually, unless you've got paid for support you can't demand anything from a group of volunteers. Please remember that and be polite. [09:51] SolarisBoy: how do you update the database in ubuntu?? [09:51] GNU nano 2.0.9 Fil: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [09:51] Section "Screen" [09:51] Identifier "Default Screen" [09:51] DefaultDepth 24 [09:51] EndSection [09:51] elgh: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:51] Section "Module" [09:51] archboxman: what database updatedb? [09:51] duncan-nz: depends looking.. [09:52] duncan-nz u don't know what polite is.....so stop it..i'm cool [09:52] so removing that line and adding it right back fixed it duncan-nz ? [09:52] are you sure were no issue with the line that were corrected ? [09:53] SolarisBoy: update the files in ubuntu to make sure you get the latest update of programs from the apt-get database [09:53] apt-get update [09:53] hi everyone i have question use ubuntu etc and want to check my laptop ip adress and when type ifconfig im getting info inet addr:xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx Bcast:xx.xx.xx.xx.xx Mask:255.255.255.0 my question is, inet adrr is that my laptop ip? or my isp ip or my router ip what is inet adrr? [09:53] Anyone want to help with getting NetworkManager to work with fluxbox? 1) Gnome sessions still ask for a password for the default keyring. 2) fluxbox sessions seem to have no way to "ask", because services are started out of order. Interested? [09:53] ouyes, that entry is exactly what you want, also you'll notice from other entries in that list you can prefix sections with something like : %C22 to change the colour of text following it [09:53] archboxman: apt-get update [09:53] hi [09:53] SolarisBoy, that's right! Palimset said there was a problem with the partition, and gparted said it couldn't mount it. But now palimpset says it's clean, it's reasonably new. [09:53] ouyes, ie i'm using this now : %C22%H<%H$4$1%H>%H%O%C30$t%C12$2 [09:54] duncan-nz: is it a windows partiton? [09:54] sarah31: inet adrr is the internal IP address used between your laptop and your router. It isn't your public internet address. === myn\ is now known as myn [09:54] duncan-nz: that was shutdown uncleanly? [09:54] elgh: run a apt-get update [09:54] archboxman: Yes? [09:55] Looking for someone who understands the NetworkManager, nm-system-settings, gnome-keyring-daemon, maybe wpa_supplicant.... [09:55] SolarisBoy, no, it's ext3. but it's mounted by windows using ext2fs. I went there and did a new shut down to see if it had some 'open lines' but that didn't seem to make any difference. I suspecting though that the driver didn't let go? [09:55] archboxman: Did that. [09:55] duncan-nz: possible ,, in that case can remove and load the module. [09:55] SolarisBoy, "went there" = "booted into windows" [09:56] elgh: do apt-get autoremove [09:56] i'm trying to install a theme in gnome and it says it was installed successfully but never appears in my themes list [09:56] hi whats the mots compresses file format that can be opened by linux and windows and mac computers [09:56] anyone have this problem or know the solutions? [09:56] s/s// [09:56] when you did fuser or lsof you used sudo right> [09:56] SolarisBoy, ext2fs only runs on windows. So I can't touch it from *nix [09:56] ? [09:56] oh [09:56] it seems to have placed it in my ~/.themes folder [09:57] well i dont think any driver thats loaded in a windows os has a process or handle on any device when your booted into linux [09:57] chkdsk or fsck the actual drive maybe [09:58] SolarisBoy, I didn't use sudo for lsof or fuser. Of course I should have thought to. I'll remember that fro next time. I agree that running fsck is probably smart. Thanks for the help.

[10:11] it may not have a man... [10:11] theadmin - how about i already tried that, and im not talking to you [10:11] but try --helppp [10:11] i did -h [10:11] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_archive_formats [10:11] i see the help, but what if i dont wanna set any options and want them all default, how would i go about doing that? [10:11] brand0n: Well, you need support, huh? So... [10:11] brand0n: depends on what the defaults are,, [10:11] heres a list of cross platform data compression files http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_archive_formats [10:11] brand0n: for some reason i think it assumes your starting with avi...

Is it necessary to format whatever you use it on? [10:14] SolarisBoy, i'm backing up my sites manually. What i ask about is a full system backup/restore SOFTWARE solution to survive an hdd/filesystem failure. [10:14] elgh: lspci | grep nvidia -i -m 20 in the terminal [10:15] kinja-sheep: Yes, I know what i want to do but not how complicated it will be? [10:15] Real_Ubot: To sync everything? Meh. Use rsync for that. As for packages? Meh, don't. You don't want to end up installing extra stuffs (ie modules and supports) on wrong machines.

[10:17] rileyp: i did find something on the power management, but nothing on how to disable the mouse. You? [10:17] suspend is working [10:18] elgh: I have the Geforce 7300 LE version in this computer no problems ,but ubuntu brings up just a nvidia card type in your xorg.conf mine on archlinux brings up the model??? wonder how xorg.conf is handled in ubuntu?? [10:18] I'm looking for overall general help, opinions on how best to setup a "kiosk" style browser xsession. [10:18] will ubuntu support an HD monitor [10:18] infid: yes [10:18] archman: Interesting. But I had to create that xorg.conf myself.

[10:20] [J]ustin: cli app, or gui one? [10:20] [J]ustin: if the java app is through the putty connection it will close when you close the connection [10:20] <[J]ustin> cli [10:20] are you forwarding X? [10:20] [J]ustin: you'd prolly want to use screen [10:21] <[J]ustin> How do I use that [10:21] [J]ustin: try a program called screen, it keeps a detached terminal session [10:21] <[J]ustin> !screen [10:21] Screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen [10:21] <[J]ustin> Thanks :) [10:21] [J]ustin: screen rocks. [10:21] zen master yes pam.d is theree [10:21] archboxman: 180. [10:21] screen keeps forwarded X sessions open? [10:21] pam.d is dark blue [10:21] naw [10:22] if you want to do it with x, i think you'd need to use xpra [10:22] rileyp: oops. I got confused. That was for MY problem! [10:22] your using the java app over X no? [J]ustin ? [10:22] SolarisBoy: thats why i asked which to use [10:22] zen_master_soso thats ok [10:22] *which it was [10:22] i can't access my trash folder in ubuntu. how can i fix that? [10:22] rileyp: you seriously don't have an /etc/event.d directory?

[10:23] type screen [10:23] then usually use CTRL+A+C to create a new screen [10:23] SolarisBoy: Are you having any opensolaris system, as mentioned in your name? [10:23] [J]ustin: type screen, hit enter. with newer versions of ubuntu, there's help built in [10:23] [J]ustin: the magic key combination for screen is CTRL-a [10:23] rumpsy: yes [10:23] archboxman: Didn't quite understand that. [10:23] i was thinking of modding /etc/default/acpi-suppport [10:23] i was thinking of modding /etc/default/acpi-suppport [10:23] i'm on ubuntu 9.10, i have a aureon 7.1 pci audio card with optical spdif audio output connected to my amplifier....with ubuntu 9.04 all worked great but now i can't hear any audio....can somebody help me?

[10:24] zen_master_soso I was thinking of modding /etc/default/acpi-suppport [10:24] <[J]ustin> so my current java line: java -Xmx256M server [10:24] archboxman Don't think so.. [10:24] zen_master_soso I was thinking of modding /etc/default/acpi-suppport [10:24] the solaris is actually for the fact i manage solaris systems professionally however [10:24] zen_master_soso I was thinking of modding /etc/default/acpi-suppport [10:24] how can i view .ptl files [10:24] \ [10:24] <[J]ustin> would I make it screen java -Xmx256M server? [10:24] rileyp: got that. i don't really know about that [10:24] rileyp: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:24] elgh: Nvidia settings are to be copied back to the xorg.conf file [10:24] rumpsy: the latest from the open solaris site [10:24] archboxman: Okey... [10:24] i use 9/10 in production [10:24] how can i view .ptl files on hardy ? [10:24] [J]ustin: please read the manual of screen, or else we'll have to spoonfeed you the same information over half an hour. [10:25] rumpsy: question? [10:25] zen_master_soso could you please look at that file [10:25] babbio: have you checked the mixer isnt muted ? [10:25] elgh: may have to do a apt-cache search nvidia [10:25] zen_master_soso It appears you can add item to whitelist [10:25] aftertaf, yes i do [10:25] SolarisBoy: yes, my system, peaks to 90% when i drag or move window on my desktop [10:26] SolarisBoy: Even i installed nvidia for card, nothing change in that :( [10:26] anybody got any idea what font this : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/DustTheme?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=dust-gtk-thumbnail.jpg [10:26] archboxman: Sorry, have to go now. :( Are you online here often? [10:26] SolarisBoy: Even i installed nvidia driver for my card, nothing change in that :( [10:26] bullgard4: did you find this firefox cache??? [10:26] rumpsy: are your drivers up to date and you not running any extra screen compositing or such? [10:26] [J]ustin: the short of it is this: "screen program" runs program in screen. The control character ctrl-a and d detaches the session. "screen -x" resumes a detached session. But you really want to read the manual to know more than this. [10:26] rileyp: your guess is as good as mine. i just learned about event.d recently. [10:26] archboxman: I got nvidia-glx-180 installed. [10:26] elgh: yes usually in archlinux [10:26] anyone know why every now and then (pretty much once a day) when I start up my client machine the server refuses access to the nfs mounts until I restart nfs-kernel-server? [10:26] i thought screen -r was resume? [10:26] archboxman: Will see you another time then. :) What country are you from? [10:26] magn3ts: Install Dust-GTK Theme and find out?

[10:27] rumpsy: try prstat command [10:27] elgh: lived in 40 out of 50 states [10:27] zen_master_soso what folder is event.d meant to be in?

[10:28] theadmin, I'll tke your word for it [10:28] SolarisBoy: well, -r also works. I happen to use -x, but it just allows multiple attachings to same session, I suppose... I have used -x for a decade by this point :) [10:28] magn3ts: I'm not quite sure actually [10:28] SolarisBoy, is there a way to make isos with tovid [10:29] alankila: nice =) im rather new to screening [10:29] or does it only make them into mpg [10:29] zen_master_soso all dummies here tonight....... [10:29] zen_master_soso inc me [10:29] magn3ts: Here, take a look http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2012912/Screenshot.png [10:29] brand0n: i think tovid has that option.. its simply a collection of other tools used to accomplish the task of file to vid [10:29] brb, i get suggestions later [10:29] try tovidgui package [10:29] rileyp: you seriously need to research how ubuntu is doing power management. it seems that things change quite a bit, and some of the stuff you are looking at (/etc/default/acpi.support) MIGHT be deprecated [10:29] ok [10:30] Avast antivirus just found a VIRUS on my Ubuntu, virus name is: 'HTML:IFrame-II [trj]' [10:30] SolarisBoy: yes it does have that ISO function too, can't remember off hand where but part of the suite [10:30] rumpsy: give me a sec.. maybe not on opensolaris,, =) i may be confusing things with solaris vs open solaris [10:30] bullgard4: found it go to firefox type in about:cache will show you were it is stored on your computer [10:30] xfact: O_o [10:30] and everyone was telling that ubuntu has no virus! [10:30] im almost abosolutely sure prstat should be there though [10:30] What to do? [10:30] zen_master_soso th nks for the tip by deprecated you mean no longer used? [10:30] processor stat... [10:31] hello i dont suppose anyone could help me. ubuntu keeps freezing when i try to install some things ubuntu software centre and the console [10:31] SolarisBoy: :) [10:31] SolarisBoy: Anyway, i'm busy with AS3..

But I have put a different questiion, and your statement does not answer my question. [10:32] jamie or ram [10:32] Avast antivirus catching many Internet virus on my Karmic koala, and suggesting to delete it immediately, Should I delete? [10:32] how to extract into /usr via file roller.. it says permission denied [10:32] bullgard4: what is the problem [10:32] jamie or karmic update gone bad which happened to me constant ata read errors frezzing pc [10:33] rileyp: that's correct. you have to do more research. your problem is interesting, but nothing I've had to deal with before. I'm putting off digging into power management for now. [10:33] ok [10:33] c_nick: You have to be root [10:33] aaction script 3.0? [10:33] archboxman: "11:30 < archboxma> bullgard4: found it go to firefox type in about:cache will show you were it is stored on your computer" I know that already. I have put a different question. === eaglewatch is now known as EagleWatch [10:33] c_nick: You need to use "gksu file-roller filepath" first [10:33] rileyp i only downloaded ubuntu yesterday and it froze while updateing [10:34] this tovidgui made things ALOT easier, thank you very much SolarisBoy [10:34] bullgard4: what is your question ??? then [10:34] just wish i could have the option of nomenu [10:34] but ill figure it out [10:34] brand0n: =) anytime [10:34] hmm ok thanks thead [10:34] archboxman: "10:59 < bullgard4> Where can I find 'Firefox Cache Viewer'? see http://www.ghacks.net/2006/10/06/firefox-cache-viewer/" [10:34] thanks theadmin [10:34] brand0n: i think actually its something simlar to that like --no-menu maybe? [10:34] jamie can you boot to a command prompt [10:34] how different missed the viewer part hold on [10:35] bullgard4: i just installed it [10:35] anyone can please suggest me what should I do whit those 'virus' files? [10:35] xfact: There are no viruses on ubuntu :/ [10:35] xfact: i dought thats accurate or a correct perception.. [10:35] SolarisBoy: if you don't mind, here they mentioned my issue, since my card is nvidia fx5200, i'm facing this same problem, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xcb/+bug/88815 [10:35] xfact: are you sure have't scanned a windows partition available to ubuntu? [10:36] but thats an ubuntu thread no? [10:36] Avast anntivirus for linux, catching lots of viruses, I can show you the screenshot! [10:36] yes, SolarisBoy [10:36] xfact avast is a terrible antivirus [10:36] they make avast for linux? [10:36] rileyp maybe lol [10:36] its propably a false positive [10:36] xfact: Those are Windows viruses. It secures your computer from those, so you don't infect Windows comps [10:36] xfact: I want to see the nifty screenshots! [10:37] Solarisboy: yes, I am only using Ubuntu, no relation with Windows, I don't even use Windows programs via Wine! [10:37] jamie why is this funny [10:37] its a false positive most likely xfact [10:37] avast isnt very good [10:37] hmm well theadmin is likely right [10:37] and like they said, no viruses in ubuntu [10:37] ok is there any picturebin for Ubuntu ? === matthew is now known as Guest92769 [10:37] wait [10:37] avast is crud [10:37] rumpsy: also thats in regards to using metacity which you said you aren't using right?> [10:37] rileyp i just feel like a noob saying maybe to such a simple question [10:38] xfact: http://imagebin.ca/ [10:38] bullgard4: its a firefox add-on [10:38] dont even worry about it xfact [10:38] xfact: The Linux version of Avast will detect viruses that only work on Windows. Everyone says that Linux isn't generally /infected/ by viruses, not that you can't physically download them onto it. [10:38] rileyp just ignore it and what do you suggest? [10:38] yes, SolarisBoy [10:38] i am noob to so dont sweat [10:38] rumpsy: try running upgrade on all packages on your system [10:38] I have ubuntu 9.10 x32 desktop running in a virtual box guest and I have the guest additions installed. How do I tell ubuntu to use 32 bit graphics? I am able to use the enhanced appearance effects and I have the 3d acceleration enabled and it seems to work, I just need 32 bit graphics [10:38] bullgard4: its a firefox add-on === peter is now known as Guest19970 [10:39] if it doesn't work on open solaris you can revert to the previous image [10:39] SolarisBoy: okay.. i'll be back after upgrade :) [10:39] ok [10:39] Hm. It takes "chmod 666 somefile" but doesn't like "chmod rw-rw-rw somefile", what's the prob here [10:39] theadmin: chmod +rw [10:39] theadmin: man chmod [10:39] theadmin: chmod ugo=rw [10:39] llutz: o_O [10:39] i never use octal =) [10:40] always use octal :) [10:40] rileyp so what do you suggest? [10:40] bullgard4: its a firefox add-on https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2489 [10:40] archboxman: Yes. SolarisBoy has told me before. [10:40] llutz: I always use numbers %) [10:40] llutz: thats what they say ;> [10:40] jamie can you boot to a command prompt? [10:40] that is suggestion [10:40] and do what in it? [10:40] type dmesg [10:40] yea i just installed it guys just for kicks,, ill likely remove it soon =) [10:40] rileyp: "command prompt" is a windows thing. It's terminal. [10:40] theadmin: octal-numbers are easier to handle, imho [10:40] SolarisBoy: Thank you very much for your information and your help. [10:41] i typed that into the console but i dont really know what i am looking for [10:41] bullgard4: any time [10:41] theadmin thnbak for sorting me out [10:41] hmmm terminal..... [10:41] yea same thing === john is now known as Guest88761 [10:42] jamie donkt upset the geeks.... [10:42] Here is the virus screenshot, http://imagebin.ca/view/3vzcCNn.html !!! [10:42] xfact: there is no virus on ubuntu [10:42] xfact: It's a windows virus. Toldya so [10:42] i have used windows for most of my life so some terminology i may get wrong [10:42] xfact: thats in your broswer cache [10:43] xfact: Iframe is a common attack mechanishm [10:43] bullgard4: funny my nautilus is set to view all in images any way so what is the bug in really for .. lmao [10:43] xfact: check your heuristic settings [10:43] Solaris boy: then I can easily delete it! [10:43] rileyp so im still confused on what im looking for [10:43] xfact: that even [10:43] theadmin, I'm jealous :( [10:44] magn3ts: Huh? [10:44] xfact: on reboot it likely will be rebooted automagically [10:44] jamie you might be better off doing clean install and then doing a backup then updateing [10:44] theadmin, sorry, I just looked at your screenshot of your fonts [10:44] xfact: or when that cache expires it will be overwritten even [10:44] SolarisBoy: there are to many gadgets in firefox [10:44] magn3ts: Oh... hm... Don't you have them? Dust theme is built-in to Karmic, AFAIR, and all fonts too [10:44] xfact: its very likely its just a site with a Iframe present and the scan is reading as something wrong... [10:45] jamie you are looking for item s that get repeated repetedely [10:45] theadmin, Idk. I've got sans obviously, it just doesn't look as nice is all [10:45] rileyp hmm... but this is pretty much a clean install, only installed about an hour ago [10:45] eg ata read error [10:45] xfact: again check the scan heuristics aren't way high on paranoid levels or you will get things like this often [10:45] jamie but by the sound your update went bad do you multiple kernals to boot from [10:45] [ 507.152027] eth0: auto-negotiating... get repeated allot [10:45] archboxman: i only use a few firebug, adblock , delicous, and greasemonkey === EagleWatch is now known as eaglewatch [10:46] magn3ts: Window title is "Sans Bold", not just Sans [10:46] I want french learning application [10:46] hmm but it didnt update, it froze in the middle of downloading updates [10:46] jamie: check that your router what speed your router is set to... maybe hard setting the eth interface would stop that [10:47] jamie: sometimes devices get stuck in negotation [10:47] so bad time updateing..... [10:47] I want french learning application, plz help [10:47] hi :) will ubuntu 9.10 32-bit work on an intel quad core q8300 machine? or do i have to use the 64-bit version? [10:47] laughzilla: it will work [10:47] laughzilla: either will work [10:47] SolarisBoy: like cool preview cooliris for watching videos [10:47] laughzilla: It will, but you'd better get 64-bit to get all out of it [10:47] thx rrw and llutz i wasn't sure by the wording [10:48] rww even :) [10:48] I want french learning application,plz help [10:48] Actually my Ubuntu running fine, I was just wanted to check it, I think batter I should clean all browser catches [10:48] archboxman: cooliris is cool but not needed [10:48] !repeat | esicam [10:48] esicam: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. === brett_ is now known as Guest29987 [10:48] laughzilla: if you use more than 4GB RAM, you should consider 64bit [10:48] theadmin - thx i was not able to find the 64-bit , for some reason the ubuntu site only shows me the 1 download page with 32-bit version available. [10:48] xfact: yes would accomplish the same [10:48] laughzilla: I'll link you [10:48] French learning applications [10:48] SolarisBoy: hey ,but I'm the only one usign a computer in this house any ways [10:48] and i'm only on 2gb of ram. i may upgrade to 4gb next month but not for now. [10:48] laughzilla, the lnik isnt obvious, i had that trouble [10:48] I want french learning application [10:48] SolarisBoy: almost for got videosurf [10:49] I want french learning application,plz help [10:49] laughzilla: http://releases.ubuntu.com/karmic/ubuntu-9.10-desktop-amd64.iso [10:49] laughzilla: 32bit wihtout PAE will only use 3.3GB [10:49] thx theadmin [10:49] archboxman: videosurf? [10:49] Hey, how come that I put an ext4 filesystem on my external usb harddrive without making any partitions (I only have a /dev/sdb and no /dev/sdb1) [10:49] I want french learning application,plz help [10:49] Hi, where are Rhythmbox ratings stored? [10:49] Does anyone know if the sshd daemon is running when ubuntu boots and is doing the filesystem check? [10:49] asicam you in wrong place [10:49] ojo: why not? you don't need to have partitions [10:49] Guest29987: depends [10:49] I've searched forever after information on the net, but nothing useful has come up [10:49] Guest29987: I doubt it. I think it occurs after htat. [10:49] Guest29987: do when the fs check is running actually no [10:50] esicam: Do not repeat, if nobody knows, nobody will answer... JFGI. [10:50] ojo: /dev/sdb1 would refer to the first partition on /dev/sdb. Since you formatted the whole disk, not a partition, you just use /dev/sdb. [10:50] i suppose as long as i only have 2gb of ram there's really no point to install the 64-bit version. [10:50] llutz, rww: tx! [10:50] Guest29987: usually network boot after that check [10:50] SolarisBoy: if I watch a youtube video show little previews so I dont get a picture with Kim Kardaseen up there and the rest of the video has some guy screaming out stupid ideas [10:50] theadmin, do not use "JFGI" and similar in this channel. Thank you. [10:50] theadmin, he's just looking for information, be nicer [10:50] esicam, try anki [10:50] Zeedox: Sorry. But I think he got a little too repetitive [10:50] archboxman: i use greasemonkey and adblock for things like that =) [10:51] Okay, thanks. Do you know anywhere that documents the startup procedure? [10:51] Guest29987: read about sysvinit or for never releases upstart [10:52] not sure but certain a good linux + startup [phases|sequence|etc] would provide the needed [10:52] SolarisBoy: try the website searches http://www.videosurf.com/ if you want to see how it works [10:52] archboxman: k [10:52] Guest29987: check under rc.d as well and look at the script headers [10:52] may prove helpful [10:53] cool, thanks [10:53] helm me disable mouse during suspnd [10:53] SolarisBoy: good idea to lower chances of watching a bad video [10:53] mouse is waking pc when bumped [10:53] cool [10:53] newer* [10:54] SolarisBoy: have you tried apt-fast yet??? [10:54] nope [10:55] SolarisBoy: apt-fast runs apt-get with axel as a download accelrator [10:55] thats an interesting approach [10:55] SolarisBoy: only been out a month now need work [10:56] doesn't ubuntu do throttling? [10:56] i know dl accelerators open super ridiculous connections.... [10:56] Ah, finally found my solution [10:57] SolarisBoy: does throttling only after verifying the source... apt-fast doesn't verify the source [10:57] i see [10:57] hello, does anyone know an alternative to MS Access to create apps for website management? [10:57] as a backend? [10:58] front end [10:58] SolarisBoy: If you have trusted servers no need if your using untrusted repositories then apt-get is the way to go [10:58] vianocturna85: you used MS access as a site frontend? [10:59] mysql is gonna be running, but there has been a request to create a program that connects to it for maintaining the info in MS Access, this seems illogical to me [10:59] ahh i see [10:59] i would use perl.. [10:59] vianocturna85: can use playonlinux in ubuntu and load ms access [10:59] i've done this with excel sheets --> Mysql --> site frontend [10:59] I have nearly decade of experience with Perl. My advice would be to not use any time with that language. [11:00] alankila: hmm i beg to differ [11:00] There's got to be something much simpler and better working than Perl. [11:00] I might sound dumb, but is this usuable on Windows too? [11:00] alankila: to import MS access data to MySQL? [11:00] why I didn't write playonlinux or wine [11:00] If you didn't like perl perhaps you might be interested in trying pokemon ruby on rails? [11:00] that would be very simple in perl [11:00] SolarisBoy: I assume generally for nearly any task -- it is possible that perl is still the best choice for oneliners, though. === luke is now known as NET||abuse [11:01] alankila: my complete company aside from hardware related things runs on perl/java [11:01] things work fairly well [11:01] i was hoping that its easy like Access in creating rather than pure programming [11:02] well you can export data in access correct [11:02] ? [11:02] yeah [11:02] if you can get stuff to csv then sure,, Mysql can load that... [11:02] the table structures and data types should be validated at some point (perl) but.. heh [11:02] well ill give it a shot, thanks for all ya input [11:02] SolarisBoy: no gui for perl??? [11:03] for programming perl? or gui interface to perl.. on the first,, vi? is all i can think the second no [11:03] hey folks, i have a usb headset plugged in, problem is if i turn volume down in ubuntu below 30% ish.. not sure exactly, the headphones just cut out, i get no volume if i go below what is actually already quite loud! [11:03] anyone exxperienced this/ [11:04] i end up having to reduce the volume on each application individually, which is a pain. [11:04] you can interactively use the perl language in perl typing in commands for output but no gui interface to it... [11:05] net abuse type alsamixer and look at all your settings [11:05] hi need help with setting up irc on ubuntu please. [11:06] SolarisBoy: Imagine if there was a perl interface u would get a dumbed down version anyways not all the features of just doing perl language and timing commands [11:06] Freds: irc is a protocol are you trying to setup a client application to connect to a irc server or are you setting up a irc server? [11:06] im on my other os on my computer [11:06] i need to set up irc on ubuntu so i can then try and solve my wireless issue [11:06] archboxman: i use vi for all my perling but that would be nice i guess at some point [11:07] Freds: try Xchat to set up irc quickly [11:07] i think its installed default [11:07] Freds: There's a list of Ubuntu's IRC clients, and instructions for some of them (the ones with clickable names) at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat#IRC%20Clients [11:07] SolarisBoy, i am a complete noob with this [11:07] Freds: chatzilla for firefox addon simple as it comes [11:08] can i use this syntax? [11:08] ive tryed to install xchat with some code with apt-get [11:08] Freds: thats cool xchat is fairly smooth for a beginner as well its what i used too at one point also check rww link [11:08] there are other choices there [11:08] i think my install is mucked up or somthing [11:08] because every guide just doesnt work [11:08] SolarisBoy: I use irssi works great :) [11:08] hi leute [11:08] archboxman: me too =) [11:09] Freds: so you just want to get online? [11:09] Freds: rather get on irc channels? [11:09] i know what im doing on irc just dont know what im doing on ubuntu [11:09] SolarisBoy: chatzilla is as easy as it gets [11:09] i have no clue how to install [11:10] SolarisBoy: point and click [11:10] Freds: check on your menu in the internet section... [11:10] yes [11:10] Freds: look for the IRC program installed by default open it and let me know what you see.. [11:10] there was no irc there [11:10] Freds: ok [11:10] Freds: is that system online? [11:10] yea but i will have to switch os on this computer [11:11] Freds: ok first go here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat#IRC%20Clients [11:11] like rww showed and check to see which client you would like then we can help you install or set it up and get connected... [11:11] Freds: for a basic start, you could visit http://webchat.freenode.net/ in your web browser on Ubuntu, put in a nickname and the #ubuntu channel, and that'll get you in here in your web browser so we can help you figure out Xchat :) [11:11] Yerushalmi, btw, bugs are reported at launchpad.net [11:12] *nod* [11:12] oki ill check it out now SolarisBoy [11:12] Freds: ok see rww comment as well [11:12] Freds: check this out http://webchat.freenode.net [11:12] Is anybody available to help me out with a hibernate problem? [11:12] thats what i need ;) ok ill switch os and plug into wired [11:12] brb [11:12] k [11:13] I'm new here. I have Intel G33 graphics, 1680x1050, My installation with Ubuntu 9.10 cant identify the resolution. [11:13] freds, if you are freak, give a try to irssi [11:13] archboxman: i use chatzilla couple of times,, irssi is my fave === user is now known as Guest26402 [11:13] rumpsy: not good for a beginner [11:13] ;) [11:13] ;> [11:14] SolarisBoy: stick with irssi all the way [11:14] in koala where do I find the menu.lst file? [11:14] yea all the way.. only thing is the xmpp support is kinda shady... [11:14] is this syntax correct? $this['key'] when i have used Arrayaccess? [11:14] !grub2 | Pirate_Hunter [11:14] Pirate_Hunter: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [11:14] SolarisBoy: its hard to read AS3 :( . . but i have to give a paper presentation on it [11:15] Hi, i have problems with built-in microphone on my laptop with ubuntu karmic. When i increased mic volume with alsamixer, it partly works - i hear myself, but any program cant record the sound. In sound manager, there is no area called "connector", to change it [11:15] mamooli: in which language? [11:15] any solutions? [11:15] rumpsy: action script? [11:15] SolarisBoy: yes [11:15] SolarisBoy: its a bit fuzzy in irssi [11:15] Any time I select hibernate, the computer goes through all the motions of preparing to hibernate, the screen goes dark - and then nothing happens. If I activated hibernate through console, console comes back up; if through the menu or the power button, it leaves the screen blank until the mouse is touched, bringing up the login screen [11:15] in perl yes but you can lose the single quotes on the array index... [11:15] !ot [11:16] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [11:16] SolarisBoy: I am really sorry, i thought i am in ##php [11:16] mamooli: oh =) [11:16] Originally I was told that this was due to having a smaller swap file than memory, but I've since opened up a 6-gig swap file and it changed nothing. [11:16] hey guys, its was for fun, don't use IRSSI as a beginner, its a request [11:17] Yerushalmi: swap-file? [11:17] Yerushalmi: afaik hibernation only works on swap-partitions [11:17] That's what I meant. [11:17] SolarisBoy: ok im on my ubuntu now [11:18] * Yerushalmi has been out of computers for far too long. [11:18] Freds: ok can you double check the internet menu for a irc client? [11:18] what do you mean? SolarisBoy [11:18] llutz: I even tried installing ubuntu on my 16gigabyte flash drive, 10 gig for the program and 6gig for a swap partition, and it still didn't work [11:19] in the top menu bar in the main gnome or kde menu can you go to internet sub menu and check to see if you have an irc installed? [11:19] just for kicks [11:19] So now I have two ubuntu installations available on my computer, one on the hard drive and one on the flash drive. Both can use that swap partition, and neither can hibernate. [11:19] I only have 900 megs of ram. [11:19] i still dont understand you, ive only had ubuntu for 3 days (which i have spent searching google for help) [11:20] Freds: lol ok.. on your desktop do you have like a menu type bar on top and on bottom? === VoX is now known as vox [11:20] at the top SolarisBoy [11:20] Freds: on the very left is there like a icon that looks clickable? [11:21] yea [11:21] is it a foot? [11:21] Freds: do u no how to get to a terminal? [11:21] =) [11:21] nope its the ubuntu sign [11:21] ok cool so try clicking [11:21] yea i understand how to get into terminal [11:21] it just opens applications [11:21] Freds: you can do this from terminal i just thought gui would be easier for you [11:22] Freds: goto terminal and type in sudo apt-get install xchat [11:22] or dpkg -l | grep xchat first [11:22] and then jus goto the main menu->internet->xchat sorted [11:22] Freds then install this package bcmwl-kernel-source then in the desktop menu System / Administration / Hardware Drivers and activate then TaDa! wifi... BCM4312 right? [11:22] it should be installed no? [11:22] Newky, please suggest people to use software center (if some one is new) [11:22] E: Couldn't find package xchat SolarisBoy Newky [11:23] Freds: that isn't the name... [11:23] sudo apt-get update [11:23] Freds: try this 'apt-cache search xchat' [11:23] SolarisBoy: it didnt do anything [11:24] try sudo apt-get update [11:24] then try that [11:24] Freds: Try installing xchat-gnome package [11:24] ok looks liek its downloading somthing SolarisBoy [11:24] theadmin: thats the name =) [11:25] but xchat should also point to it [11:25] ok its done now SolarisBoy [11:25] being he only had it on for 3 days im wonder if he ever did this initial update.. [11:25] do you have an orange icon in your tool bar saying you have updates pending? [11:25] Q: how come Ubuntu 9.10 (AMD64) won't install Flash player form youtube? [11:26] from* [11:26] nope SolarisBoy [11:26] Freds: either or try the 'apt-cache search xchat' without the qoutes [11:26] hello, i need a way to quickly start my favourite applications... any programms/docks? [11:26] sjohnson: 64-bit version might not have a flash player. [11:26] then try sudo apt-get install xchat-gnome [11:27] theadmin: is there a simple way to just get it to work to play youtube? [11:27] sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get install xchat [11:27] docmax: Avant. [11:27] i think you just need to link the library so firefox knows to use the 32 bit version... [11:27] wow SolarisBoy ur the first person who has actually got results L [11:27] ubottu: flash64 | sjohnson [11:27] sjohnson: You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava [11:28] SolarisBoy: what happened to all the pretty picture user guides for ubuntu??? [11:28] A good guide on how to setup wlan0 as AP and then bridge the traffic to my ppp0? [11:28] ubottu: many thanks [11:28] archboxman: lol not sure [11:28] I want to share my 3G usb connection with a mate.. [11:28] sjohnson: you're welcome!

[11:29] Sure [11:29] !ics | maveas then you basically need this [11:29] maveas then you basically need this: If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [11:29] archboxman: there are some really good guides online but i always forget the links [11:29] rww: thanks [11:29] thts why i started using delicous =) [11:29] Thanks llutz [11:29] my links/bookmarks follow me every where [11:29] rww: by the way, I only have 2GB ram. should I just use the 32-bit version instead? [11:30] SolarisBoy: was just looking for ones with really big pictures for fred [11:30] -) === FeiRuoWa is now known as zz_FeiRuoWa === freds_ is now known as Freds [11:30] sjohnson: Either would work. 64-bit doesn't offer much in the way of performance benefits, so it might be easier for you to use 32-bit. [11:30] SolarisBoy, ok its sorted now [11:30] now onto the main problem [11:30] Hi guys ... [11:30] sjohnson get this http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.42.34.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz remove all other install versions.. if any, make a folder /home/[username]/.mozilla/plugings and extract it there... then (re)start firefox... [11:30] hi, koe [11:31] i think we should use 64 bit when we have the chance [11:31] =) [11:31] any one knows a good programming channel ? [11:31] hes right though at 2 Gb not much perf gain [11:31] Freds: sweet [11:31] rww: one last question... i am using Ubuntu defaults as far as the window manager / gnome goes. and i have found that it is tedious to resize windows because you have to move your mouse with pixel-fine accuracy [11:31] koe: What language for? [11:31] SolarisBoy, i need to connect to my router via wireless [11:31] SolarisBoy: but also no loss [11:31] C [11:31] koe: ##C [11:31] llutz: true which is why i say use 64 [11:31] rww: ... on the corners of the windows. ie: bottom-right [11:32] iwconfig [11:32] cause you then have that option if you do decide to use that extra memory and its applicable to your mobo [11:32] theadmin: thx :) [11:32] sjohnson: Yeah, it is rather tedious. I don't have a solution for it, unfortunately, though someone else in the channel might. [11:32] Freds: ok and you have a wireless adapter installed or builtin correct? [11:33] i have my wireless card built in [11:33] why cant I send ? ##C :Cannot send to channel [11:33] gonna try the 32-bit version instead thanks [11:33] koe: Type the following: /join ##C [11:34] network manager should be able to get the wifi card going [11:34] ok and its enabled? you are likely using network manager so i believe you can simply either right click the network manager icon enable networking, then click the icon and find your network,, or just find your network by clicking the icon if the wireless is already enabled [11:34] this can all be done from command line as well [11:34] I did [11:34] but ... I get this message back ##C :Cannot send to channel [11:34] what command should i type to see if its enabled? [11:34] koe: Uh... strange... Works fine here.

I'd like to try it, but I'm terribly frightened giving up NetworkManager. I'm afraid that I'm going to be stuck reading manuals and editing files for the next 48 hours if things get screwed up, and I heard that wicd-cli has flying monkeys that come out and fly around your head for a while if you're not careful. Any suggestions for making the transition?

[11:59] csaba, thanks :-) [12:00] Fred is diff as to where he needed to jump on a wired connection install packages for the broadcom firmware and load the modules cleanly.. as it seems [12:00] myrtti no, i guess [12:00] erUSUL: the was that I have had probs with this card from the beginig there is no good driver for it "radeon 9200 se" and I used custom xord.conf that actually used the vesa driver, but i worked for a long time [12:01] esicam: use "cd" to go to that directory on the commandline [12:01] erUSUL: and now suddenly stopped [12:01] SolarisBoy: yeah, the main problem with the Broadcom 4312 is grabbing the firmware and drivers. Thankfully, those Ubuntu packages will do it all for you these days :) [12:01] sena-: does not work with radeon driver? [12:01] SolarisBoy: silly non-free packages, would be nice if they opened it up and it Just Worked. [12:01] erUSUL: no [12:01] rww: seen that box say on ubuntu forums that it has trouble connecting either way with one would work and wireless wouldn't or the wireless would work and the eth0 wouldn't [12:02] erUSUL: i thing there is no driver suitable for this card it is old card [12:02] archboxman: I didn't encounter that problem, though I don't use ethernet much [12:02] * Yerushalmi feels sad. [12:02] erUSUL: but aside from this you are right that i should not get kernel panic on upgrade [12:02] sena-: i had a 9250 back in the day and it worked fine with the radeon driver could be that the "se" are special though [12:02] SolarisBoy: broadcom I don't like to much ;( [12:03] myrtti, it says cdcd is currently not installed [12:03] hi i want to know what the mots compressing format it that is cross platform. win lin mac. [12:03] hi all. i think evtouch driver not working? i can calibrate, but xorg options not working? how do i know which drivers are in use please, etc? [12:03] esicam: just cd [12:03] erUSUL: i can show you how my xorg.conf look like that made the card working [12:03] mehee, the format that compresses the most? Is that what you are asking? [12:03] esicam: in which directory the image you try to convert is? [12:03] Hi all, is there a way to get since how much time a given soft limit is exceeded for a given user (quota management) ?

I have Mono installed, but when I try to run the game using Wine it simply asks me to run using the Windows version of Mono. When I try to run it using Mono it notes that it cannot find the Windows.Systems.Forms assembly, which I guess is done by Wine. What should I do? [12:04] elgh: program that puts the correct file in xorg.conf file not sure if it just a package or a full program [12:04] erUSUL: only this conf worked for me with this video card http://paste.ubuntu.com/366790/ [12:04] esicam: in your home directory, or in a directory in the home directory called that? [12:04] Ari_Lazarus, use virtual box [12:05] is it possible to block a domain through hosts using asterisks i.e. foobar.com/* or is there a better way to block unwanted sites through ubuntu (prefer if it is cli base) [12:05] Ari_Lazarus, wine is flawed [12:05] myrtti, it is in next drive [12:05] Diverdude: Does Virtual Box have .Net support?

[12:06] hi [12:06] elgh: this leads me to believe 1 of 2 things [12:06] Ari_Lazarus: you need to install .net in wine (mono for windows) [12:06] Diverdude: I see. How badly would this affect the game? [12:06] thansk alot rww SolarisBoy archboxman [12:06] very grateful [12:06] erUSUL: I did [12:06] archman: what are those?

What program do I need to install if I want to use the command 'configure' in bash? [12:45] lloowen: the command is not installable as such. The configure script usually accompanies source packages meant for end-user consumption that are built with autotools. [12:45] archboxman: That's true. I don't know much about it at all. But I know people who can use 7300 GS without problems. [12:46] !grub [12:46] grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

[12:46] Anyone wanna recommend a VNC program ? one for server and client for os x ? [12:46] elgh: thats fine if so then your monitor is problem ... Something is not working right [12:46] lloowen: if the source did not come with a configure script, you must build one. There is often a shell script called "bootstrap" or so. Running this -- provided all versions of autotools gunk are compatible -- may well spit out a functional configure for your system. [12:47] how can i convert a mp4 file to xvid?

[12:48] do i have to reboot after few hours of work on ubuntu ? : | [12:48] that's sick [12:48] lloowen: check if the source tarball came with something called "configure" anywhere. If not, then look for bootstrap and be prepared to install a lot of autotools-related packages. [12:48] elgh: what ever is holding back your system has to be replaced [12:48] pietia: i believe that's a compile-time setting (you'd need to rebuild xlib). what exactly is eating up all of your xclients? [12:48] sipior, how to check this? [12:49] archmanbox: With this said, it can be anything. [12:49] i see only few windows [12:49] pietia: xlsclients [12:49] sipior, k [12:49] elgh: we can figure out if its the monitor put the live cd in drive and tell me is the drive spinning and no images try another monitor and tell me if a picture comes up... maybe the image is out of range for monitor???

[12:50] jack5463, just install vlc, will play everything [12:50] pietia: might be a bug with skype. remove those processes, and it should free up some xclient slots.

[13:02] acicula: correct === pbx is now known as hetii [13:02] well it just means eachoing a value into proc to change its behaviour [13:02] osirisx11, edit /etc/init.d/ondemand and look for echo -n ondemand > $CPUFREQ and change it to performance [13:02] i think the cpufreq applet also remembers on loging what you set last time [13:03] acicula: it does not remember. [13:03] indus, okay the code is working now [13:03] acicula, cpufreq applet doesnt remember my settings. [13:03] duffydack: thanks i'll look at that... but wouldn't that change the meaning of 'on demand' ? [13:03] hello people... ubuntu is runnung more cpu intense than windows!!!! why??? [13:03] duffydack: hmm i guess then what you said via ondemand isthe proper way [13:03] osirisx11, it sets my cpu on boot to performance... not ondeand [13:04] DocMAX: how,why,what? [13:04] osirisx11, all cpu`s... i have i7 [13:04] duffydack: ah but it is kind of a hack, isn't it? [13:04] mvn071, what? try to make a clear and brief asking, and keep it in one Enter [13:04] acicula, ubuntu is more cpu demanding!!!!!!!!! [13:04] DocMAX, quite a point, [13:04] DocMAX: you have a question? [13:04] osirisx11, well yes I guess so.. but its a simple one [13:05] acicula, yes, why is that? [13:05] is there not a proper way? [13:05] does anyone know a straightforward way to allow vnc sessions to access audio devices on a server? I don't want to tunnel audio or anything, i just want to allow a vnc user to play audio on the server's speakers. I am using xfce on 9.10, and there are no local users logged in on the server, only a single VNC connection. [13:05] archboxman: Thanks for every help! [13:05] windows runs smoother, why? [13:05] DocMAX, i have a p7370 Thinkpad T400 and 9.10 ubuntu, when open a few applications, it acted like dead [13:06] DocMAX: how do you measure that [13:06] mvn071, you see ruien ? [13:06] osirisx11, its not doing anything bad.. its only a sall script that by default is setting the governor to ondemand.. all you are doing is telling it to use performance instead... [13:06] sall=small [13:06] for example, when whatching youtube video, and i do fullscreen, cpu utilization goes up [13:07] mehee: do you now elgh personelly [13:07] DocMAX: thats typically the case with flash [13:07] acicula, i dont want that [13:07] DocMAX: then do not use flash? [13:07] duffydack: but i am thinking there is someplace that is calling init.d/ondemand and i want it instead to call init.d/powersave (or whatever) [13:07] can I make my own APT on cd? [13:07] mehee: hello asked for some advise figured out possible problem [13:07] hi [13:07] I need to add some text to appear on the other side of the line, what do I need to add to this command? - find -follow -type f | sed -e "s|.|$PWD|" -e "s|.|File:\t|" [13:08] hello [13:08] hi [13:08] acicula, but i want to watch videos!!! [13:08] mehee: elgh may be able to fix this :) [13:08] osirisx11, you are overthinking the situation.. its just a startup script. [13:08] DocMAX: video decoding in flash, particularly HD using hd264 and such is a cpu intensive task [13:09] duffydack: ok thanks dude [13:09] wich ever os you use it will increase your cpu usse [13:09] i am having OpenCV installation issue in karmic [13:09] can anyone please help? [13:09] rvsjoen: well he is gone darn it :) [13:09] acicula, but in windows i do not have cpu utilizastion!!! [13:09] * om26er doubts that [13:10] DocMAX: then your measurements are incorrect [13:10] even watching youtube hd in fullscreen [13:10] oh well, his loss [13:10] rvsjoen: could kick myself for that [13:10] sorry disconnected.. did you see what i wrote? [13:10] sipior, are you there ? [13:10] DocMAX, its a fact that adobe flash is cpu *eater* no matter what platform you are on [13:10] DocMAX: i think on windows flash can use the gpu now to decode some things, that may affect cpu utilisation i suppose [13:11] rvsjoen: seen his name as quit when I came back :( he must have parted as I came in :( [13:11] acicula, thats a very new feature [13:11] osirisx11, you could go through all of this.. if you like http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=248867&highlight=Cpu+scaling+ondemand [13:11] Anyone wanna recommend a VNC program ? one for server and client for os x ? [13:11] pilinha_: i am, yes. 3rd party software? do you have the source code?

[13:11] sipior, I can ask them to recompile it [13:11] pilinha_: not sure what to tell you, sorry. complain to the people you got it from :-) [13:11] anyone here know memcached? [13:12] trying to change the port it runs on [13:12] DocMAX: you cna try the html5 feature of youtube in chromium i suppse [13:12] sipior, I just want to understand what they did wrong , so I can tell them [13:12] * om26er thought htlm5 video tagging would kill flash but agin h.264 came in the way [13:12] yeh [13:12] osirisx11, there is no other scaling mode in /etc/init.d btw... its ondemand only.. and all the script is doing is setting it by default on startup.. dont worry about it. [13:12] well got to run now I feel bad :( [13:12] jbendotnet: and ? [13:12] pilinha_: difficult to say without knowing how the library was built. were they attempting a cross-compilation? [13:13] rvsjoen: I'm not sure where to look [13:13] ! [13:13] jbendotnet: /etc/memcached.conf ? [13:13] i wanted to stay on ubuntu... but some things really bother me [13:13] haha [13:13] rvsjoen: oh yes, it's much simpler than I thought [13:13] not sure why, I was trying to work through the init.d stuff [13:14] DocMAX: not much to be done about flash unfortunatly [13:14] DocMAX2, except for the flash issue share any other issue with us please [13:14] sipior, I dont know, but I had the same guess.. I'll try ask them... The usual, for linux systems, is to use SystemV ABI, right? [13:14] om26er, the gnome desktop [13:14] My computer refuses to hibernate; it goes through all the motions of hibernating, but then pops me back into the login screen. Can someone help me fix this? [13:14] jbendotnet: that would be the second place to look [13:14] DocMAX2: however this is a support channel to troubleshoot and fix problems, so please stick to that [13:14] DocMAX2, then use kde [13:14] pilinha_: certainly the case on my system, yes [13:14] the whole gnome desktop is crap [13:14] Yerushalmi: made changes to pulseaudio? [13:14] I haven't made changes to anything; this is a clean install. [13:15] sipior, on mine too.. I just don't know if that's a rule, or an option [13:15] DocMAX2, I love Gnome *very much* [13:15] Yerushalmi: hmm, i think it dumps in syslog what was blocking it to go into hibernate [13:15] acicula: I've even made a second install on my flash drive. Same problem. [13:15] for example the icons on the desktop... if their names are too long, gnome does not shorten them the right way [13:15] DocMAX2: Openbox FTW [13:15] DocMAX2: stop trolling the channel [13:15] I can show you my pm-suspend.log file. It looks like everything's completely normal. It just comes right back out of hibernate immediately.

The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [13:17] Yerushalmi: can you paste the link or are you gonna make me guess :)? [13:17] mehee: you around [13:17] acicula: Oh! Didn't know you needed a link, I thought it was a public thing. My apologies. http://paste.ubuntu.com/366827/ [13:17] acicula: I'm afraid I'm still very new to this :p [13:17] *embarrassed* [13:18] what DE except for Gnome,KDE,Xfce is fast and comfortable to use [13:18] Yerushalmi: what no need just work on your skillz [13:18] *? [13:18] can someone give me remote support via VNC? [13:18] Keller: LXDE [13:18] http://lxde.org/ [13:18] archboxman: Heh. First-timer, I guess. [13:18] osirisx11, thanks [13:19] !lubuntu | Keller [13:19] Keller: lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu [13:19] Yerushalmi: hmm nothing out of the ordinary except /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/99video thaw hibernate: Returned exit code 1. [13:19] Yerushalmi: what to worry about learn as you go... ;) you can always reinstall the system its free [13:19] archboxman: I have. Several times. [13:19] archboxman: read, he did that [13:19] Keller: is this for a netbook? [13:19] Keller, if you are on karmic 9.10 you can install the package lubuntu-desktop and try it out [13:19] Yerushalmi: have you enabled any video driver? [13:20] osirisx11, nope, for notebook [13:20] Yerushalmi: oh wait its intel 915 [13:20] im currently on 9.04, i like it more than karmic [13:21] 9.04 more stable. [13:21] acicula: I installed archlinux 2 times and the first time it took 5 days to install archlinux now I can install archlinux in about 20 mins... nothing wrong with learning [13:21] acicula, archboxman: I spent the last five days learning how to get a bigger swap partition because that's what I was told was the problem. This entailed reformatting and reinstalling ubuntu at least seven times with various settings. [13:21] Hey, can somebody guide me to get the inbuilt webcam working for my computer? [13:21] I am using Ubuntu Karmic more then 1 months and I think it's stable! [13:21] suman, open terminal and type lspci and pastin it [13:21] acicula, archboxman: Naturally, though, now that I have 900 megs of ram and 6 gigs of swap, it still don't work :p [13:21] !pastebin | suman [13:21] suman: 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. [13:22] t [13:22] archboxman: Thank you for your help. [13:22] elgh: hold on i figured out ur problem [13:22] archboxman Really? [13:22] Yerushalmi: Yerushalmi does suspend work? [13:22] elgh: I ran it past a debian user [13:23] acicula: Yup. Suspend works fine. [13:23] om26er, i typed in lspci what now? [13:23] elgh: you ran that nvidia card as a user ??? not root [13:23] suman, copy the results and paste them in pastebin.org and provide the link [13:23] In fact, I just glanced over to the computer and saw that it just suspended on me without me noticing :p [13:23] archboxman: Can you please explain that further? [13:23] Yerushalmi: how much memory in the netbook/how big is the disk? [13:24] ok hold on [13:24] suman, which app are you using for web cam? [13:24] i do not know I will paste the results [13:24] Yerushalmi, is any memeory card mounted? [13:24] elgh: lets leave this furom and go to debian I will let the gods explain it of ubunut [13:24] acicula: As a result of all my playing around trying to fix the problem, I now have two different installs. [13:24] Yerushalmi: total disk size and total mem size? [13:24] om26er: Yes. Same answer as acicula: [13:25] Yerushalmi, and what was that? [13:25] I have a 4-gig hard disk, of which 3.8 is the file system and 239 megabytes is a swap space. [13:25] Yerushalmi, pull it out [13:25] elgh: ubuntu is written with debian as is core programing [13:25] archboxman, Okey... [13:25] I also have a 16-gig single flash reader, with a 10-gig file system and 6.3 gig swap space. [13:25] hi [13:25] elgh: lets go to #debian chatroom [13:25] om26er: You're saying that it could be the flash drive that's causing the problem? [13:26] archboxman: I'm there. [13:26] Yerushalmi, no memory card (sdhci) [13:26] ok on my way [13:26] Yerushalmi: internal memory i mean? also are you using netbook remix or ubuntu vanilla, i forgot [13:26] please find the url http://paste.ubuntu.com/366832/ [13:26] om26er: Ah. Then no. [13:26] acicula: netbook remix. [13:26] is it true that hp has bios management where HP can access your computer no matter what firewalls or encrypted file systems or how good your password is? [13:26] acicula: On the 10-gig file system on the flash drive I have a second installation of ubuntu, which I placed there in order to see if for some bizarre reason it refused to use swap spaces that weren't on the same drive. [13:26] !ot | trisquel [13:26] trisquel: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [13:27] Yerushalmi, my netbook dont hibernate or standby ( its a known bug) [13:27] :) [13:27] om26er: Really? But standby works for me. [13:27] hey, how do i choose a destination to install to with aptitude ? [13:27] Pici, ubuntu computers [13:27] Yerushalmi: well it seems that space is the most logical issue [13:27] Yerushalmi, not for me. that's because I have ubuntu installed on sdhci (when sdhci is mounted stand by dont work) [13:27] seeing as the principle differnce between hibernation and suspend is the dumping of the memory into the swap [13:28] trisquel: BIOS is regardless of operating system, your question is not on-topic for this channel. [13:28] yeah [13:28] WAit. [13:28] I think this is perhaps a memory card? [13:28] * Yerushalmi has been away from computers too long. [13:29] I am trying to install the lamp-server but keep getting the error message " tasksel: aptitude failed (100)". Can anyone help? [13:29] It's called Single Flash Reader, it's in a slot labeled MMC.SD [13:29] what topic [13:29] I'm rather embarrassed that I don't know what that means. [13:29] But it acts as a drive. [13:29] for me too [13:29] om26er: What's sdhci? [13:29] om26er, i have pasted the links http://imagebin.org/82830 and http://paste.ubuntu.com/366832/ [13:29] Yerushalmi: it seems an SD card, that what you are using is known to prevent suspend [13:29] can you suspend with the SD card mounted? [13:30] acicula: Yes. [13:30] anyone know if latest gnome-panel supports RGBA yet? [13:30] acicula: Suspend works fine. Just hibernate doesn't. [13:30] does anyone know a straightforward way to allow vnc sessions to access audio devices on a server? I don't want to tunnel audio or anything, i just want to allow a vnc user to play audio on the server's speakers. I am using xfce on 9.10, and there are no local users logged in on the server, only a single VNC connection. I believe this is a "udevd" rules issue, but i don't know where to find more specific information on editing them. [13:30] i dont know [13:30] I am interested in doing some packaging for Ubuntu, how can I find out what packages people are requesting / what needs to be packaged? [13:31] acicula: And it doesn't work whether I boot from the ubuntu installation on the internal hard disk or the ubuntu installation on the flash drive. [13:31] Yerushalmi: By default, the kernel always unmounts all MMC/SD cards before suspend and re-mounts them at resume. /quote [13:31] suman, I dont see any webcam there.. [13:31] so that might explain why hibernating to an SD doesnt work [13:31] kjs: you can use apt-cache to show the depends [13:31] Yerushalmi: how much internal memory do you have on the netbook? [13:31] xpo0f: wtf? [13:31] acicula: Huh. I'm going to check this out, then, I'll figure out whether or not I can suspend when booting from the flash drive. [13:31] kjs, ? [13:32] acicula: something like 900 megabytes. [13:32] om26er, i have webcam on my computer which is not being detected. what should i do now? [13:32] !language > kjs [13:32] kjs, please see my private message [13:32] kjs: apt-cache depends [13:32] suman, can you please give the name of the web cam.( make and model) [13:32] Yerushalmi: try without the SD to cram unr onto the thing with a 2GB swap ? [13:32] xpo0f: not what im asking is it. [13:32] ok [13:32] I want to build some packages for ubuntu not find out the deps of a dpkg. [13:33] acicula: Unless there's a smaller version of UNR, I can't - the internal drive is only 4 gig. [13:33] kjs, what are you building? [13:33] Yerushalmi: i dont think so :/ [13:33] kjs: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.tag=needs-packaging [13:33] so that... compile yourself and configure all the depends [13:33] kjs: happy packaging [13:33] acicula: Confirmed, suspend works fine even when I'm running ubuntu off the SD card. [13:34] om26er, i have sony vaio CR343N model. I had Vista installed which detected and webcam worked fine where as the switch to ubuntu has caused it to stop working. Does it help [13:34] hmm but still no hibernate [13:34] Yerushalmi: i dont know then :/ [13:34] brb [13:34] acicula: Nope. Activating hibernate from the menu makes it look as if it's about to do it - the screen goes blank and everything [13:35] Yerushalmi: yeah according to the log it goes through all the steps [13:35] But it really is just bringing me to a login screen. [13:35] suman, which version of ubuntu are you using? [13:35] acicula: nod. It's weird. [13:35] just fails just before dumping to disk it seems and wakes up again [13:35] hey, is it possible to run a single programm in a different language? [13:35] acicula: But it's not even presenting a failure message, is it? [13:35] maybe there's not enough space on the hd? [13:35] Yerushalmi: not that i can tell [13:35] Yerushalmi: well the unthawing of video is reporting an error condition [13:35] * om26er thinks every thing is possible when you are using Linux [13:36] but that is after it comes back [13:36] acicula: And yet video works fine. [13:36] sint: override the language locale for a particular program? [13:36] acicula: sounds like what i need === _value is now known as Value [13:36] Yerushalmi: yeah it doesnt mean the video is broken [13:36] acicula: Ah [13:37] hi all [13:37] om26er, ubuntu 9.10 [13:37] just means the script didnt terminate as it should have, which may mean nothing [13:37] Hello, can someone help me real quick [13:37] hey all [13:37] does anyone remember how to find out all login times? [13:37] acicula: do you know how to do this? [13:37] acicula: Well, thanks for trying anyways [13:37] om26er, i installed 8.10 then upgraded to 9.04 and then to 9.10 [13:37] suman, it turns out ubuntu dont have the driver [13:37] sint: some programs will use the locale env variables to determine what language files to use, override those i guess, or look at the specific programs manual [13:38] r2d2_: look in auth.log [13:38] I upgraded to ubuntu 9.10 from 9.01 and my root password was lost or changed, how do I fix this? [13:38] thanks [13:38] acicula: ok thanks, i'll search for it [13:38] ChuckyLarms: you upgraded to what? === EagleWatch is now known as eaglewatch [13:38] The newest version of Ubuntu [13:38] Yerushalmi: yw [13:38] acicula: I'm going to start powering down and heading home from work now. Thanks for the help anyways. [13:39] ChuckyLarms: your root password doesnt change, it doesnt exist [13:39] acicula: i remember that there is some utility to get all login and logout times [13:39] Well, I lost all my Admin priviliges [13:39] r2d2_: last, w [13:39] yeah :) [13:39] I am trying to install the lamp-server but keep getting the error message " tasksel: aptitude failed (100)". [13:39] iv installed psybnc but when am doing make Initializing bouncer compilation [*] Running Conversion Tool for older psyBNC Data. tools/convconf.c: In function ‘cofile’: tools/convconf.c:80: error: label at end of compound statement make: *** [all] Error 1 [13:40] acicula: Can you perhaps help me out with something else? This may be a bit simpler... [13:40] Value: are you sure this is the channel to ask that? [13:40] sorry am installing* [13:40] Value: you have an error in convconf.c at line 80 [13:40] acicula, how do I get my privileges bacj>? [13:40] hi all [13:40] Yerushalmi: well i dont know until you ask [13:40] back** [13:40] ChuckyLarms: does sudo work? [13:40] ChuckyLarms: /etc/sudoers [13:40] acicula: Hehe. I was thinking from a time/availability standpoint. But anyway. [13:41] om26er, one more query I have is, when I installed UBUNTU I did not care to go for the partition, but now when this is installed can I get some feature like disk compression so that i can partition the disk without losing current installation [13:41] acicula i know its not but the problem is not with psybnc with the Makefile [13:41] Yerushalmi: just ask ;) [13:41] says no such directory [13:41] acicula: For some reason, and I don't know how this happened, my date/time and my power menu have found themselves to the left of the sound, wireless, display, and battery icons. [13:41] Value: this is an ubuntu support channel [13:41] acicula: No idea how they got there, and no idea how to move them back. [13:41] suman, you can do resizing of partition without compressing [13:41] ChuckyLarms: you don't have /etc/sudoers?? [13:41] i know [13:42] Yerushalmi: err, not sure about the netbook remix gui, but right click and try to move it? [13:42] Value: fix the error at line 80 [13:42] unlcok if needs be [13:42] k [13:42] acicula: Tried. It agrees to move everywhere but to the right of the icons. [13:42] suman, you have to run live cd of ubuntu and use gparted in live session to resize partition [13:42] archboxman, back here. [13:42] ChuckyLarms: sudo in a console gives you that error? [13:42] can you pastebin the few lines you see in your console? [13:42] Yerushalmi: they locked to pannel , Right click unclock [13:42] elgh:came back debian people are a hard group to get to know trust me [13:42] ueah [13:42] Yerushalmi: unlock the icons and move those? [13:43] Hehe :) [13:43] can you only chmod a file if you own it? [13:43] elgh: one major hurdel down [13:43] Yes, thanks a lot :) [13:43] Yerushalmi: if its the icons of bluetooth move a little to the right, its a systray thing that can also be unlocked [13:43] acicula: jellow: I can't find any place to right-click on or around the icons that have an unlock or move option. [13:43] ;) [13:43] happyface: yes [13:43] now for this green box [13:43] I hate it! [13:43] om26er, does this have any specific thing that i should remember or the automatic guide is enough [13:43] csaba: even if you have rwx on it but dont own it? [13:43] :P [13:43] Yerushalmi: just to the left of the icons, click there? [13:43] happyface: Well with root you can do what ever you want [13:43] om26er, and i have ubuntu 8.10 live cd [13:43] jellow: I know, I'm talking about users [13:44] happyface: if you have group access then you can chmod too [13:44] justin@TheBear:~$ /ect/sudoers [13:44] bash: /ect/sudoers: No such file or directory [13:44] justin@TheBear:~$ [13:44] Ah! I got it. Thanks! :) [13:44] thanks csaba [13:44] suman, when resizing everything you have to do manually [13:44] elgh: pastebin your xorg.conf [13:44] It works now :) [13:44] ChuckyLarms: sudo, not /etc/sudoers [13:44] I figure one of two things 1) you got a virus or 2) settings have changed [13:44] Yerushalmi, what?

[13:44] ha [13:44] acchieved [13:44] Does anyone have an idea how to create something like MSTSC in windows, in ubuntu, so that everyuser which connects via vnc gets to logon to their own session ? [13:44] * Yerushalmi has no idea how it could've gotten that way without him knowing how to move icons until about half an hour ago, but whatever. [13:44] archboxman, Yes I use Firefox. [13:45] !ltsp [13:45] bojanbg: you can do it with nx machine [13:45] Thanks guys! That's one problem solved, at least. [13:45] csaba, I will google nx machine [13:45] om26er, thanx i will try this in some time [13:45] LTSP is the Linux Terminal Server Project, which adds thin-client support to Linux servers. See chapter 3 of the !edubuntuhandbook, http://www.ltsp.org and/or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Terminal_Server_Project [13:45] do you have adblocker on??? [13:45] best start there bojanbg [13:45] bojanbg: ive seen vncserver setup via inetd where the user just connects via a vncviewer and it spawns a new vncserver session as needed. [13:45] suman, np :) [13:45] I don't understabd acicula [13:46] Dr_Willis, I will look into your solution as well [13:46] thank you [13:46] bojanbg: vnc does not have to share 'just the current visible desktop' - You can install a vncserver that lets users spawn their own session/desktop thats 'hidden' [13:46] brb [13:46] bojanbg: simple way.. install the tightvncserver, let the users ssh in, start vncserver, then connect via a vncclient. [13:46] elgh: no need its a add-on for firefox [13:46] ChuckyLarms: type sudo in a console, and then your password, that lets you use admin priveledges [13:46] Dr_Willis, too difficult for what I need [13:47] Dr_Willis, need something that requires no shell knowledge [13:47] How do i set my current account as superuser? [13:47] any idea why greek subtitles on .srt mode do not appear as they should be? (they look like @#$%@#%) [13:47] freds: /etc/sudoers or via user management [13:47] bojanbg: then see the vnc via inetd or xinetd guides [13:47] Alright. Headed home now. Thanks for all the help! [13:47] it says I am not under the Sudoers files [13:47] And I will be reported [13:47] bojanbg: my way lets them have persistant 'vnc sessions' they can reconnect to and still have their apps running [13:47] how to change my login screeb [13:47] Is there any way to list packages installed from a certain PPA? [13:47] Evenought it is my system [13:47] im using karmic [13:47] freds: administration -> users and groups [13:47] any login themes to karmic [13:48] Dr_Willis, I see ill checkout the xinetd because I don't need persistent connections [13:48] Gangrel: probably missing the charactersets for greek [13:48] i can't change my login themes [13:48] acicula where do i find them? [13:49] im using ubuntu karmic [13:49] through the software center, search for greek, that should fint it [13:49] hi I want to run sudo apt-get update but didnt import the needed keys, what option do I need to add to thecommand to get it running anyway? [13:49] any available login themes in karmic [13:49] j [13:50] acicula, there is no option for superadmin in the user settings [13:50] acicula, It says Justin in not in the sudoers files, and I will be reported [13:50] freds select user, -> properties -> user privilidges [13:50] Does anyone know if lamp-server is supported on Karmic [13:50] ? [13:51] johannes1: fyi, you should use aptitude insted of apt-get [13:51] freds: there is no 1 option to give unlimited access to a specific user, because then it would be root [13:51] root51: thers some tools out tha lets you change the 9.10 gdm themes. Check my links at http://delicious.com/dr_willis under gdm or gdm2 [13:51] freds: root is bad [13:51] acicula, i have clciked all the check boxes but it still wont let em edit anything in the hard drive [13:51] rvsjoen why? [13:51] freds: even as a sudo user you cant just edit a file on the disk [13:51] only the owner (root) can [13:52] Acicula? [13:52] Any advice at all? [13:52] it can't affect to karmic [13:52] if i using gdm i can't affect my login screen [13:52] ChuckyLarms: can you explain your problem again, particularly what it is you are trying to achieve, what you expect would happen, and what happened instead? [13:53] root51: with the right tools/configs yes you can. === win_ is now known as impi_ [13:53] freds: anyway those properties allow you to administer certain parts of the system, but thats separate from read/write permissions on the disk [13:54] root51: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/01/gdm2-setup-gets-new-look-and-ubuntu-ppa.html [13:54] root51: thers also a tool called 'epidermis' that can tweak the Gdm in 9,10 [13:54] I am trying to access my Windows file partition to move files over to my Windows desktop, I did this before upgrading all the time, but after I upgraded I tried to do it and it said authentication not allows or something [13:54] ok thanks acicula [13:54] Hi all. apt-get remove xchat-common fails with the message: dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute installed pre-removal script: Exec format error.

[14:45] archboxman, When Ubuntu first was installed the mouse was correct, even after installing graphics drivers. [14:45] kinja-sheep: i did not find any such option in UNetbootin [14:45] i like all the different shades of poo [14:45] blue_pearl: I don't think it is possible because you never set it up in first place. [14:45] jack5463: usually bad software problem like an invalid instruction in an executable. are you on 64b? could be a program written for 32b on 64b hardware for example.

[14:48] KenBW2: killall without any arguments should send a SIGTERM which the program should interpret as being a standard close request. [14:48] archboxman, No, 9.04.

You need to be running something like xming or reflectionsX [14:57] kinja-sheep: If you intend to forward X over ssh, yes.

[15:00] McL0VIN: Starting the xserver on your linux computer doesn't help you. You'd need to run X locally (on windows) in order to see grapihcal applications there.

[16:14] yes [16:15] I normally use the win xp cd to delete partitions.. how would i delete the existing ubuntu partitiion to reinstall it.. can it be done thought the Ubuntu cd?

Or how is it you know/decided they are corrupt [18:04] Zerofire: burn at slowest speed 2x or so [18:04] im on the website i don't see anything .. i type dell adn get nothing [18:04] nvm its on the wiki [18:05] I already burn at x16 which is my default for disks even though it can go faster. Nero 8 does a validation and choughs out error after error. [18:05] Try a different cd-burner Zerofire or check the iso [18:06] some lens-cleaning cd's will help sometimes too [18:06] !md5sum | Zerofire Might want to check the Windows link here: [18:06] Zerofire Might want to check the Windows link here:: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [18:06] can someone please tell me what could be the problem here? when i run xclock& it is fast and works good, but firefox& is very very slow [18:07] I only have a single burning drive and Nero has been reliable over the years. I see no reason why it should be bad now. I just burned another disk and it was fine. [18:07] lens-cleaning cd's usually f...up the lense [18:07] nero. :( [18:07] Otherwise try imgburn ZeroFire [18:07] ** highly recommend imgburn over nero. [18:07] hola me gustaria tunear mi ubuntu para que parezca un mac e intentado varias paginas pero no lo consigo alguien me puede ayudar [18:07] Zerofire, having issues burning a disc? (sorry I just joined the chat) [18:07] I burned other iso and it was fine. [18:07] I think also there are some images currently which are just over a max CD iso size and require to go to DVD [18:08] i've installed tomcat6 + jakator with apache2 quite right I think but when I launch a WAR package. I get a HTTP status 500 error with security exceptions. Like org.apache.catalina.security.SecurityUtil.doAsPrivilege(SecurityUtil.java:243) [18:08] I checked it was under 700mb and I use 700mb disks [18:08] Zerofire, are you burning at slowest speed? [18:08] Roasted duck? [18:08] lol [18:08] phong_, <3 [18:09] sergi did you looked on gnome-look.org? [18:09] Roasted chicken :P [18:09] I am burning at x16 which is not the slowest but not the fastest either. [18:09] i know that on some versions of nero there is an 'enable disk overburn' setting that will help it finish a disk under some conditions [18:09] om26er, i am srry abt the last time can this be some virus as there are other activities [18:09] i recently installed a copy of ubuntu onto my new laptop and it all works fine but if i plug in headphones it plays out of both the speakers and the headphones would this be releated to soemthing bad with my install? [18:09] Zerofire, always ALWAYS burn at slowest speed. [18:09] :p 2x [18:10] suman, ubuntu == no virus [18:10] Roasted: that's nonsense, frankly. [18:10] Zerofire, When you play a CD or DVD, your player can auto-backtrack to read any sectors it missed. When burning, it only burns in 1 straight line. If it skips, it doesn't go back. [18:10] sipior, actually, no, it's quite necessary if you want quality burns. [18:10] Roasted: nonsense. [18:10] roasted : some disks (especially the cheapest ones) have a thinner film and actually burn better at a faster speed [18:10] candi, lol [18:11] ok, think what you want [18:11] sipior, if you say so. I've had more failed discs at high speed than low speed. Coincidence? Think not. [18:11] anyone using ubuntu on a dell sutido 17 inch [18:11] sipior, I encourage you to tell people on forums to burn at high speed. [18:11] s/sutido/studio [18:11] macman_, whats not working? [18:12] I will burn a copy at 8x and then tell you guys the result. [18:12] Zerofire, I suggest you do. I always burn at slowest speed, which oddly enough doesnt take that much longer anyway, but at slowest I ALWAYS get a solid burn. Ive never had a disc fail on slowest speed. Highest its much more common. [18:12] Burning at higher speeds can cause more problems [18:13] How do I move /usr/ to annother partition? My root partition has almost no space left. [18:13] Roasted: depends on a lot of factors too :) [18:13] Roasted: whilst burning at the very maximum speed may not be wise (depending upon the drive), you certainly don't need to choose the very lowest speed for a quality result. i'm not entirely sure where this sort of magical thinking comes from (the long-lost era of buffer underruns, i suppose). [18:13] nemo, no doubt. [18:13] om26er: i get my studio 17 coming in like 2 days :P ... i was wondering if hdmi works .. and how good is the battery life ? [18:14] sipior: well. crap drives can still cause underruns. [18:14] I know that on the highest sometimes there are problems thats why I default to 16x It is a sweet spot for most disks. [18:14] sipior, it's really just common logic... slower the speed, higher chance of a quality burn. It's just easier for me to preach running at slowest speed because each drive could have a different set of speeds at which to burn at. [18:14] macman_, for that we have #ubuntu-offtopic [18:14] Can anyone tell me what i need to install to get Intel GFX working? [18:14] sipior, its not that I think 4x is worse than 2x, Im just saying dont burn at 22x [18:14] oh well. I solved my problem. bye guys :) [18:14] om26er: why would that be off-topic ? [18:14] sipior, so its just easier as somebody trying to help another guy out to say, burn at slowest speed. an extra 20 seconds waiting for it to finish wont hurt. :P [18:14] I've already installed updates with the Intel Drivers in them. But still can't change resolution or enable effects. [18:15] 8x is the slowest Nero will allow for my drive with a CD. [18:15] when i installed ubuntu it didnt ask me to supply a root account.. sudo passowrd [18:15] i am not able to open synaptic package manger in ubuntu 9.04. it is showing like this: [18:15] * om26er rethinks [18:15] is it possible to move the /usr/ I'm totally out of ideas now [18:15] wish^, it wont [18:15] jolaren: you can use the mv command via terminal [18:16] so how do i set this obaid? [18:16] nytek_; and this will work just fine later on while loading the /usr directory ? [18:16] jolaren: what do you mean while loading [18:16] sudo passwd root [18:16] wish^, ask yourself why you need a root password.... [18:16] wish^, becarefull with root [18:17] he just wants to kill his computer faster with root thats all [18:17] nytek_; the /usr directory is in the "root" partition. If I load it over to let's say /home how would it boot the /usr files? [18:17] i am not able to open synaptic package manager in ubuntu 9.04. it is showing like this: E: Malformed line 57 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse) [18:17] wish^: ubuntu isn't designed to *HAVE* root password [18:17] everytime i wanna do something on my system it asks for my root permissions [18:17] E: The list of sources could not be read.

[18:17] u can use sudo wish^ [18:17] !sudo | wish^ [18:17] wish^: give it the password of the first user [18:17] wish^: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [18:18] so it sort of defies the whole purpose and much like windows lets you work with administrative privileges [18:18] awesome [18:18] wish^: er, no. [18:18] re [18:18] nothing like the windows UAC [18:18] Buonasera a tutti [18:18] i though because of aptitude that ubuntu was similar to debian but more of a client [18:18] apparently its more like win7? [18:18] wish^: first user has admin rights, because someone needs to have them. the following accounts it needs to be set. [18:18] jolaren: why do you want to move it anyway? [18:18] ubuntu is based off of Debian [18:19] !help [18:19] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [18:19] nytek_; clogged up space [18:19] !cmd [18:19] can you help me to open synaptic package manager in ubuntu 9.04? [18:19] seems to me like a bit of a windows copy [18:19] !synaptic | okc [18:19] okc: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto [18:19] wish^: don't revert to trolling, it is so boring [18:19] revert to trolling? [18:19] wish^: it's a design choice, made with lots of discussion and planning [18:19] jolaren: isnt your home dir on the same hd? [18:19] okc: any reason you need to use the gui of synaptic and not just apt-get? === Faint is now known as Faint` [18:20] i just installed ubuntu with intentions of using at as a workin environment for my programming needs [18:20] deadrabbit: No. [18:20] wish^: good! now go ahead and have fun [18:20] nytek_; on annother partiton [18:20] rabbitbunny: No???? I am so confused now [18:20] Myrtti: is there a problem with me saying im dissapointed in the logic of it.. and that i should have read up more before choosing to use it? [18:21] wish^: Accusing the project of copying windows isn't the best way to get help and could be considered inciteful. Some concessions were made to make it work like you expect it to. [18:21] Hi. Been Googling around and am at the end of the rope here reading a horribly unhelpful manpage on xorg.conf. I am manually specifying EVERYTHING to get this monitor to work, and need help interpreting some variables that aren't explained. [18:21] wish^: sudo -i will give you a root-console. With that, you don't have to type sudo all the time... [18:21] "The second section is a list of four numbers specifying the horizontal timings. These numbers are the hdisp, hsyncstart, hsyncend, and htotal values. The third section..." [18:21] "The third section," they say, as if they've explained a damn thing. FFFFffffff... [18:21] even i am using apt-get,it is showing as: E: Malformed line 57 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse) [18:21] E: The list of sources could not be read. [18:21] hdisp I'm assuming is resolution, start and end there are the freq range, but what is htotal? Anyone? [18:22] Rabbitbunny: im not accusing it of looking like windows.. im just really suprised that my normal user account has root access.. [18:22] deadrabbit: Think about gui's as putting together cammand lines for you. Sure, you can click on things and it will work, or you can type thing and control exactly what it does. Different methods, same result. [18:22] jolaren: i dont know how that would work, sorry. most of the gui aspect of the system is based in usr [18:22] okc, post your /etc/apt/sources.list on pastebin so others can look at it [18:22] nytek_; It's a server thought [18:22] wish^: You're a sudoer. You can fix that if you want ;) [18:22] wish^: a normal user account doesn't, the user account needs to be in the admin group (the first user created will be in that group) [18:22] Faint`: there's always reading the source. But why are you going through this? It's usually not necessary [18:23] jrib: shitty no-name monitor brand Ubuntu doesn't know about [18:23] !fixres > Faint` [18:23] Faint`, please see my private message [18:23] !language | Faint` [18:23] Faint`: have you seen that page? [18:23] Faint`: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [18:23] wish^: of course one has to read up before making big decisions. And while you may not agree with logic, that's how ubuntu has been designed to work. Setting a root account isn't how it's designed to work. If you set it, some consider that you've in a way "voided warranty" ;-) and give no support. There is a chance that enabling root account will break things, although minimal [18:23] Rabbitbunny: i know all that, i was just wondering if he needed the synaptic for something specific. If not he could just use apt-get [18:23] Okay, alright, sorry, I'm used to the Interwebs being the wild wild west as far as profanity goes. [18:23] I'll watch it. [18:23] wish^: The first user is considered to be 'sudoer' by default, only the first user. [18:23] jolaren: hmm, so what we need is to change the systems usr source directory. just to have it point to another source [18:23] jrib, have I seen what page? [18:23] deadrabbit: Nah, you never need synaptic, people just like to click. [18:23] Faint`: check your private message from ubottu [18:23] right ok.. so i will never have to login as root on ubuntu to make any changes? [18:23] the root account is just deactivated? [18:24] jolaren: sorry for the confusing statement, hopefully you get the gist === EagleWatch is now known as eaglewatch [18:24] nytek_; something like that, i only find guides from 2003 [18:24] wish^, you got it! [18:24] rabbitbunny: you don't need apt-get either, some people just don't like to compile [18:24] deadrabbit: Exactly. [18:24] jrib: I've already worked with that, what I'm trying to do now is set the resolution in xorg.conf and I just need to know what that "htotal" setting means. [18:24] nytek_; if u could come up with anythin tell me;P [18:25] rabbitbunny: my first distro was gentoo, i have just become lazy [18:25] wish^: root is not used. You can get a console as root when booting in recovery mode. There you get access to the whole computer without a password... Yes that's true ;) ... [18:25] minimec: which is normal to almost all distros [18:25] Ok, im sorry if i was a bit harsh on the system.. its just not what im used to from freeBSD [18:25] minimec: which can be protected by setting a grub password [18:25] Faint`: might be useful to you: http://howto-pages.org/ModeLines/ [18:26] sipior: Thanks, I'll follow that. [18:26] minimec, booting my computer in recovery mode can grant someone root access to do anything they like? [18:26] Myrtti: No problem with that... ;) [18:26] ciao [18:26] wish^: and you can set a password to prevent unauthorized access to recovery mode [18:26] wish^: Yes that is true. [18:26] but i thought you just said, dont use root [18:27] and dont set a root password [18:27] hello [18:27] wish^, root password and bootloader password aren't the same [18:27] ah you mean a grub password [18:27] yep [18:27] jolaren: jolaren im not finding anything. its probably possible. but it would probably be along the lines of installing the entire system onto the server and than changing grub boot manager to that source [18:28] hi all, im gonna ask a real noob question, feel free to laugh. I have 6 gig of ram installed, the bios sees it and when i used windows it seen it as well, but 9.04 only sees 5.7 gig [18:28] ive used both Gnome and KDE and im aware of Xfce. what other desktop environments are there for Linux? [18:28] wish^: That is also true... ;) root exists as recovery user in recovery mode without password... ;) [18:28] jolaren: to boot directly from the server [18:28] nytek_; what do you think about this ? http://74.125.77.132/search?q=cache:d-t0UkyQ69sJ:www.khetanna.com/other_it/howtomoveusr.html+how+to+move+/usr&cd=20&hl=sv&ct=clnk&gl=se [18:28] i just dont understand the logic of this, but im sure ill get used to it [18:28] berty642: do you have 64-bit, 32-bit or 32-bit PAE? [18:28] CAPcap: so many, openbox and flux are great for lappy';s [18:28] nytek_; text is black so you have to mark everything [18:28] I am still getting errors on the slowest speed when I burn a disk of Ubuntu.

[18:32] Yo yo yo [18:32] om26er, at one point i had the kde environ installed along side and i could choose at the log in screen. can i do that with the other environs as well? [18:32] ok, so I've got a quick question: I've developed an app in Quickly, and can't get it to upload to my PPA on Launchpad, it keeps complaining that i don't have a secret key, when I surely do... Any advice? [18:32] hardcorE0x1a4: have you checked the restricted drivers? [18:33] I've gone the route of ndiswrapper and I've tried the native driver from the website [18:33] CAPcap, yes sure [18:33] CAPcap, for lxde and xfce, you should [18:33] !md5sum > Zerofire [18:33] Zerofire, please see my private message [18:33] sex [18:33] when Deluge bittorrent client downloads the iplist, does it automatically start to block those ips or should we have to do it something else?

You may have to compile drivers [18:34] sayanriju, om26er, I like Gnome and I didnt like KDE mostly im just new to linux and im exploring to find what i like. what would you recommend? [18:34] CAPcap, either [18:34] Yeah as far as I can tell, Realtek doesn't ack the 8172 on their website :-\ [18:34] CAPcap, Gnome [18:34] CAPcap: try xfce and look for some cool looking themes [18:34] CAPcap: xfce is my favorite [18:34] CAPcap, both can be made to resemble gnome, but my personal prefernces are with lxde [18:34] but others have successfully gotten it to work with the 8192se drivers [18:35] Realtek issue ? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1367871 [18:35] sayanriju, well im looking at the sites and lxde looks nice. i cant find full screenshots of xfce [18:35] * om26er thinks lxde need a bit more work [18:35] my system recongizes the card but the netmanager cant get the card to scan [18:35] still its super fast [18:35] om26er, what kind of work? [18:35] om26er, lxpanle is much easier than before with gui config tools [18:35] HA...good eye boxfish :) [18:35] CAPcap: look on deviantart.com, they have a great variety of xfce screenshots [18:35] hardcore0x1a4 : yeah there are a lot of issues with the realtek 8172 not working, though a lot of people have gotten it to work [18:36] hardcorE0x1a4: then modprobe the module to see if it works. You may have to remove other modules if they are getting in the way [18:36] CAPcap, don't worry about looks...you can make them look like anything post install [18:36] boxfish: yes i lsmod and it's listed [18:36] sayanriju, many papercuts in lxde cause a bit annoyance [18:36] sry boxfish: I did that page [18:36] om26er, true [18:37] Can anyone point me towards a relatively easy way to only allow certain mac addresses to connect to my ad-hoc wireless network? Slightly out of my depth. [18:37] what might get in the way? [18:37] sayanriju, to an extent. KDE was not to my liking at all [18:37] Capcap: lxde is slick but many new users hang with gnome til they get accustomed to the OS [18:37] Okay, anyone who cares: THIS modeline generator ACTUALLY GIVES THE RIGHT VALUES.

[18:40] sayanriju, sudo apt-get install lxde [18:40] deadrabbit: and it said hardware present and working but still the same problem as the native driver [18:40] sayanriju, then log out and choose the lxde session [18:41] Rug, /me don't like tiling [18:41] sayanriju: fluxbox also has killer hotkey support ;) [18:41] so why would anyone want any of the others, cause kde is the most latest desktop software available [18:41] coz_, redirect your answer to CAPcap :P [18:41] hardcore0x1a4 : ndisgtk is just a gui frontend for ndiswrapper. What laptop do you have and does it have bluetooth? [18:41] sayanriju, oh it wasnt you? sorry [18:41] I wish I could get Flux + OPTIONAL tiling [18:41] CAPcap, sudo apt-ge [18:41] I just did a MD5 checksum comparision and it is a match for the iso. [18:41] Think43: how is it latest? And why does latest determine quality? [18:41] CAPcap, sudo apt-get install lxde then log out and choose the lxde session [18:41] i saw, thanks coz_ [18:41] deadrabbit: it's Toshiba A505-S6033 and no it doesn't have bluetooth :-( [18:42] :) [18:42] actionparsnip, hotkeys? OB has them too! Just edit the rc.xml! [18:42] Nautilus is nice enough to mount my Macintosh HD-partition if I click it, but I want it to happen automatically at login. Does this still mean editing /etc/fstab, or is there another way? [18:42] coz_, that goes beside right? i'll still have gnome yeah? [18:42] tasslehoff: I think you'll have to include it in your fstab [18:42] Sayanriju: virtual F-key ftw [18:42] actionparsnip, true, but if you wanted flashy eye candy, then kubuntu is the way to go eh? [18:42] CAPcap, yep you just choose which session while you are on the login screen [18:42] ciao [18:42] !fstab | tasslehoff [18:42] tasslehoff: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [18:42] keystroke saver: add this to your .bashrc alias ac='apt cache search' and alias ag='apt-get install' [18:43] !list [18:43] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [18:43] CAPcap, lxde is very very fast not quite up to par [18:43] it gnome [18:43] gnome, look same since years [18:43] coz_, sweet. just like i did with kde. is it possible to uninstall these later? [18:43] CAPcap, with gnome [18:43] Rug, have you tried awesome3? [18:43] but kde is changed so much [18:43] tasslehoff, fstab would be the way to go [18:43] Slart: ok. is there a way to find out how nautilus has mounted it? [18:43] CAPcap, yep just sudo apt-get autoremove lxde [18:43] sayanriju: no, what is it? [18:43] Think43: you can skin gnome so that fact is moot [18:43] I am having problems burning a ubuntu disk and the iso MD5 checksum is valid. [18:43] tasslehoff: try having it mounted automagically.. then type this in a terminal "cat /etc/mtab" [18:43] Zerofire: burn it as slowly as possible [18:44] tasslehoff: You must be a DL fan [18:44] CAPcap, lxde will take a day to get used to ..it is similar to xfce in ways [18:44] if i wanted to put kde or xfce id do the same thing but put in one of those instead of lxde right? [18:44] hardcore0x1a4 : have you tried shutting off the wireless then starting it again? [18:44] I already burn it at 8x wich is the slowest speed. [18:44] tasslehoff: it should print out the currently mounted filesystems.. hopefully it will be included in that list [18:44] Capcap: yes [18:44] Rug, a tiling WM. never used it, but folks at #arch claim its truly awesome. [18:44] CAPcap, no to get rid of kde sudo apt-get autoremove kubuntu-desktop [18:44] Zerofire: try a different burning app [18:44] actionparsnip, hmmm, I didn't know that, I will play with that as soon as I finish installing kubuntu, and I get a good macosx style dock, Any recommendations, which is bes to use [18:44] coz_ i meant for installing [18:44] Rug: not hardcore fan, but read some books a while ago :) [18:44] sayanriju: =) So Awesome is Awesome? [18:44] CAPcap, installing kde? [18:44] deadrabbit: I don't believe so. I have fn keys that don't seem to work in ubuntu, but I also have a hardware switch for the wireless. Do you think that may work? [18:45] Rug, so they say! :D [18:45] CAPcap, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [18:45] coz_, yes and xfce [18:45] Coz_: that only removes the metapackage dude [18:45] CAPcap, sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [18:45] !puregnome | capcap [18:45] capcap: If you want to remove all !KDE packages, type « sudo apt-get --purge remove kdelibs4c2a kdelibs5-data && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » into a !terminal [18:45] I already tried a diffrent iso and it worked. I do not see a problem with Nero 8 [18:45] I'll hop into #arch and chat [18:45] Slart: thanks. it's in the link you/ubottu gave me as well I see [18:45] deadrabbit: When I did the native install I tryed ./wlan0up and down then back up again and that didn't produce any good results [18:45] actionparsnip, yep sorry about that [18:45] tasslehoff: you're welcome [18:45] looking for a bit of help getting wireless nic setup. [18:46] Think43 you can skin both gnome and kde to look like macOs including a dockbar. [18:46] break time be back later [18:46] hardcoree0x1a4 : do an ifconfig real quick it should see a wlan0 on there as well [18:46] Rug, the channel is #archlinux, and i was not referring to the currently going chat there [18:46] I already tried a diffrent iso and it worked. I do not see a problem with Nero 8 [18:46] Coz_: got your back dude ;) [18:46] actionparsnip, were his directions correct for installing those though, and for uninstalling lxde? [18:46] deadrabbit: yes it is [18:46] sayanriju: thanks [18:47] actionparsnip, how do I do it, apt-get install skins-what-name? This is my first ubuntu install in my life [18:47] hardcoree0x1a4 : so the interface is there, just it does not see anything with the network manager? [18:47] I already tried a diffrent iso and it worked. I do not see a problem with Nero 8 [18:47] deadrabbit: correct [18:47] Think43: there are guides and projects all over the web. You will find them very easily [18:47] hardcoree0x1a4 : try shutting off the wireless then doing a restart and turn it back on [18:48] actionparsnip, what are you running? [18:48] Capcap: if you uninstall the lxde package then run sudo apt-get autoremove [18:48] ok I'll brb I'm workin on the machine [18:48] Capcap it will remove lxde fully === root is now known as Guest67029 [18:48] I already tried a diffrent iso and it worked. I do not see a problem with Nero 8 [18:48] man sudu, what is this sudu business [18:48] and to install kde i sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop ? [18:49] Zerofire: I suggest you ask in ##windows if nero is giving you grief [18:49] Zerofire, probably the prob was with the 1st iso, which was corrupt? did u md5sum check as suggested? [18:49] nytek_; I think I've found a solution. If it works this boot will go fine, heh.. [18:49] yes I did a MD5 checksum and it was a match. [18:49] think43, sudo runs things as root [18:50] hello my ubuntu friends, wonder if anyone can shed some light for me...at uni we use EAP-TTLS connection, and when i use any mail client for my gmail imap, it wont connect and hangs...is that imap problem or evolution etc? [18:50] so you dont have to su login, you just type sudo, do you ever have to go su then+ [18:50] hardcorE0x1a4: does: sudo iwlist scan [18:50] hardcorE0x1a4: show APs? [18:51] actionparsnip, to install KDE i put in sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop right? === urlAway is now known as urlwallace [18:51] Think43: right now. Lxde on my laptop. This is my G1 phone I'm talking to you on [18:52] Think43: it's sudo not sudu [18:52] I have a Ubuntu Server virtual machine running on VMWare ESX.... i deleted two NICs and added two additional NICs and now they show as eth2 and eth3 even though eth0 and eth1 do not exist [18:52] actionparsnip, what a gi phone [18:52] how do i make the two nics show as eth0 and eth1 [18:52] where do I go to get help with a word processor that I can't open? [18:52] actionparsnip, do you have any flashy eye candy on lxde? [18:52] Think43: use sudo -s and not su [18:53] Think43: I don't even use desktop wallpaper so no [18:53] what is the basic difference between sudo and su? [18:53] I'm having trouble setting up new pci nic. ubuntu recognizes it but when I run dhclient my sniffer on the router doesn't pick up any packets. What's wrong? [18:53] Think43: googles android phone [18:53] Ifconfig shows no rx or tx packets for the nic [18:53] abx, su makes you root, sudo makes you perform a command as root [18:53] actionparsnip, well, I am still waiting for kubuntu download, should be another 30mins, so I will be back here with kubuntu in about an 1.5hrs [18:53] thanks! [18:53] actionparsnip, I don't think they have that in Canada yet, are you in US? [18:53] think43, nothing flashy, but xcompmgr+transset is kewl [18:53] Hello everyone. I need help urgently. Windows got damaged when I was installing an Anti-Virus program. I need to rescue datas from hard disk.

[19:20] With a login script and xrandr, I can change the resolution back to 1920x1080, but I'd love to track down what changes it in the gdm process. X by itself starts up with the correct mode. [19:20] Talon: tilda or guake [19:20] xangua: thx...i'll be sticking to dropbox then....also, actionparsnip...can't imagine how that's off topic, but anyways. good for you lol [19:20] deadrabbit: I used a more recent version but I believe it would be the same? [19:21] Antonius: this is ubuntu support only [19:21] what is thesis dedication [19:21] actionparsnip: k i will research dnsmasq..ty [19:21] deadrabbit: I used rtl8192se_linux_2.6.0010.1211.2009 [19:21] and ubuntu one is a default feature of ubuntu..thank you [19:21] hi people [19:21] antonius: ant ubuntu-one........just for ubuntu :S === and is now known as Guest26548 [19:21] #hvr [19:21] hello. For a new hardware-configuration I want to use a radeon hd 5450? do it works without problems with ubuntu? [19:21] Antonius; ubuntu related questions not relating to problems with ubuntu are to be discussed in offtopic [19:21] #j #hvr [19:21] Antonius: so good for you....as you say [19:22] hrdcore0x1a4 : did the .ko file and the fireware folder get copied correctly? [19:22] hello. how can i get windows to see a ntfs partition mounted in linux? [19:23] is there any way that I can connect trough my mobile broadband connection with 3g / UTMS [19:23] rmt, there was a bug in xorg a while ago when gdm picked the first res mode that was specified in xorg.conf, try creating an xorg file with 1920x1080 as the first and only available resolution [19:23] hi [19:23] it connects with GSM [19:23] Nunatak: I suggest you go to www.ati.com and attempt to download the driver. If its there then you will have no issue [19:23] anyone have any other ideas on fixing my dim issue on ubuntu [19:23] I cant download and install Samba since its giving me a 404 error via synaptic [19:24] I installed a program which named ''gddrescue''. I am running it on command line client now but what command is needed for rescue data from hard disk? [19:24] nunatak, get an nvidia card [19:24] hanophix33, run sudo apt-get update [19:24] hah, guake doesnt work [19:24] amule [19:24] usser: Yep - trying all sorts of things with that, PreferredMode etc. It seems to occur after the PreSession scripts are called.. [19:24] deadrabbit: I thought cpying the firmware folder copied the ko file as well. Thats my fault. I can't locate that ko file though? [19:24] hrdcore0x1a4 : make sure also that the rtl8192se driver was not blacklisted, check /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [19:25] Turbolinux: if the partition and drive show no data then foremost will be a good app too. Why don't you just restore from backups? [19:25] Talon_: run it again. I have to runit twice the first time its ran [19:25] system > hardware > Broadcom STA wireless not activated.....when i try to activate it gives me error.....i already install b43 fwcutter bcmwl-kernel-source [19:26] Talon_: no idea why [19:26] actionparsnip: I don't have the card yet, I'll try check the compatibility before I buy it [19:26] Nunatak_: I know but the website is accessible from any pc attatched to the web so you can check [19:26] oh man, its like spanned across my desktop, i don't like it :/ I just want a tab bar in my gnome-terminal, I'd install Konsole but i really dont want to install all the KDE packages it needs [19:26] Nunatak_: wise for checking compatibility too :) [19:27] actionparsnip: ok. I'll see [19:27] what font does the default gnome terminal use? [19:27] deadrabbit: Its not listed in the blacklist conf file. As a side question if I take out usbmouse and usbkeyboard Could that be why my usb ports don't work? [19:27] Talon: you can make it not 100% of the screen width. Terminal supports tabs too you know [19:28] lol, hey guys, remember me from a few seconds ago. I found a DEB package for RealPlayer 11!! Heres' the link: http://www.real.com/linux [19:28] Is it possible to have applications that install with KDE/GNOME/LXDE only show up in their respective environments with out editing every menu item by hand? [19:28] I'm an idiot. lol. have a good one guys [19:28] how do i get the tab bar? I haven't found an option for it to always be there [19:28] hrdcore0x1a4: is the wifi usb attached to a usb hub or direct into your system? [19:28] quick newbie question (I think): I can connect to folders shared from a Win2003 box no problem via the File Browser (Nautilis?) But I don't know how to browse back to them when I'm in something like a dialog box (like attaching something to a gmail message) [19:28] webroasters: why would you want real player? [19:28] Talon_: file -> new tab [19:28] actionparsnip: The wifi is pci-e. But as a side problem my usb ports dont' work either :( [19:29] h [19:29] actionparsnip, I can't do this because I didn't backup datas from my computer's hard disk. I must rescue datas. Do you know needed command for save data with Gddrescue program? === patrick is now known as Guest69738 [19:29] yeah, thats dumb, not what im lookin for, i want that tab bar always, and a single click button to lanch a new tab like konsole [19:29] b [19:29] I'm contemplating just trying to get usb to work and maybe buying a usb wireless adapter [19:29] hrdcore0x1a4: gotcha, do you have all latest updates? [19:29] actionparsnip: I just updated but I' haven't rebooted yet [19:29] Turbolinux: then the data is disposable [19:29] Grrr -- anyone run into a grub issue where after boot all you get is "GRUB loading." (no stage anything) and the hard drive light goes nuts like it's scanning through something? [19:30] deadrabbit & actionparsnip: I'll brb I'm going down for a reboot [19:30] (After boot means after the system gets to GRUB, so H/W seems to be okay) [19:30] hi how to move window up and down in irssi? not using the pgup/pgdn (using mac through shh->screen->isrri) [19:30] So I can't rescue datas isn't it? [19:30] Is it possible to have applications that install with KDE/GNOME/LXDE only show up in their respective environments with out editing every menu item by hand? [19:30] Tubolinux: use foremost to get the data off. You may have to use testdisk to create partition flags. [19:30] CAPcap, nope [19:30] cHarNe2: esc p and esc n [19:31] thats lame. well thanks [19:31] CAPcap, that's standard compliance kde,gnome,lxde all use freedesktop menu specifications. ie put their programs in the menu in the same manner [19:31] Turbolinux: get a backup system. You have learned the hardest way possible. Imagine if the motor failed and you couldn't even attempt a file restore. Where is your data then? [19:31] trism: THNX xD! :) [19:32] having problems with mouse working with ubuntu, sometimes the left click stops working [19:32] actionparsnip: how do i run the sh script...(automated install for deps.. for chromium) [19:32] is there a way to quickly switch between single monitors & twinview (nvidia)? (like the win + p in 7) [19:32] any takers? I tried googling it, but the terms are so generic (file, browse, windows share) I couldn't find anything relevant [19:32] Razertek: chmod +x ./script; ./script [19:33] Razertek: just add the chromium daily ppa instead. Easier [19:33] usser if i edit them in one environ, is it gonna edit them in all of them? [19:33] swizzcheez, but it can mean that something has happened to the partitions, or something is getting chewed up. Have you tried the supergrubdisk boot disc. It can be used to boot machines even when grub is screwed [19:33] boxfish: I can see the disks and data using the installer CD, so it looks like the partitions and OS are fine. [19:33] CAPcap, in environment? as in right click on the menu -> edit? [19:34] boxfish: It just looks like GRUB can't even get to stage 1.5... [19:34] boxfish: ('cept everything in /boot looks normal) [19:34] I know actionparsnip but I didn't have a free time to do this. [19:34] usser i know how to edit. my question is if I take an item off the menu in LXDE or KDE will it also be remove from my GNOME menu? [19:34] Is there open source alternative to shoutcast? [19:35] mkny, you want to mount it on the filesystem [19:35] CAPcap, no. i dont know how its done in kde or lxde but when you edit the menu in gnome it doesnt ask for sudo password meaning all the changes that you make only affect your personal account and are not systemwide [19:35] Add to Panel / New Panel no longer work for me in 9.10, any hints? [19:36] Hello, im having some truble with my wireless connection. The problem is that it just disconnects after a while, and it wont connect untill i restart the computer. It's a Acer Aspire One somthing somthing. Anyone had a similar problem? [19:36] Issues2315, use to have that problem until installing 9.10 [19:36] Issues2315: is it an intel card? are you connected to a 802.11b/g/a/n?? [19:36] CAPcap, system-wide menu is stored in /usr/share/menu [19:37] is there a pastebin for pictures? [19:37] loops, i'm on 9.10 now. happyface, i do belive its an Intel yes, Ath5 drivers or somthing. [19:37] if you use supergrubdisk and it does work, you will then know it grub not something else (and the system will boot) so you can then play with the grub.conf or whatever its called. Last time I had problems it was to do with the new ubuntu using the disks uuid in stead of the old style /dev/sda1 etc [19:37] deadrabbit: Alright so I rebooted after updating and when I came into the desktop the wireless was not on and i was like hell ya. So I cd to the dir of the driver did ./wlan0up and the wireless came up, but still no scan!!!!! ahhhhhhh I'm taking this POS back [19:38] is there a pastebin for pictures? [19:38] mkanyicy: imagebin¿ [19:38] is there a pastebin for pictures? i want to paste the screenshot of my problem [19:38] boxfish: Sounds like a plan -- I'll give it a shot. I'm not learning much more through the live CD anyway... :-/ -- thanks! :-) [19:38] hi this my problem, because when I write !lista or !list does not leave anything? (my English is not one of the best) [19:38] xangua, ok thanks [19:38] mkanyicy: imageshack.com [19:38] hrdcore0x1a4 : i figured that would have worked, maybe realtek did a chipset update on that module of notebook [19:39] OkropNick, ive accidentally removed the desktop panel that shows minimized programs (top right, minimized to just the program icon) I cant figure out how to get it back [19:39] Sensiva, take a look at icecase [19:39] actionparsnip I ran the program but what must I do now? [19:39] Sensiva, err icecast [19:39] usser thank you [19:39] hrdcore0x1a4 : what are you using the laptop for? [19:39] deadrabbit: Possibly. After reading all these forums and seeing how many ppl have problems with Realtek I'm disappointed with their products [19:39] scratch OkropNick that was a mistake [19:39] I am using evolution, and I would like to delete the files from the server that I delete on evo, but I want to keep a copy of them on server. I was wondering, what effect would the "Disable support for all POP3 extensions" have on my email account [19:39] by files, I meant emails [19:40] hi guys [19:40] hi this my problem, because when I write !lista or !list does not leave anything? (my English is not one of the best) [19:40] truthtaco: no problemo [19:40] anyone know why the vpn package is stuffed in karmic? [19:40] and is there a fix [19:40] deadrabbit: School right now. I'm a cs major. Its a fast laptop (i7 with 6mb cache, 4gb of ram) [19:40] got a question about a samsung notebook, the function keys dont work (laptop of a friend of mine) [19:40] happyface , problem seems to accelerate when i'm downloading somthing. [19:40] ta_, use imap if your server supports it , it sounds like what you need [19:41] is there any repository app that can help me get my files synchronized? [19:41] Can anyone recommend a good groupware application? Need some input. Thanks, [19:41] hrdcore0x1a4 : not sure but check out lenovo, not sure if they have an i7 but i know everything works fine with them [19:41] ta_: ubuntu-one, dropbox¿¿ [19:41] Well, for Ubuntu yes. [19:41] usser, the problem is that the mail service I have only supports POP3 [19:41] hi guys. my kubuntu desktop does not show applications well. here is a screenshot: http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/4710/screenshotxd.png . is there a way to fix this? [19:41] does anybody know how to get the function keys going in ubuntu 9.10? [19:42] Nico1985: for your laptop? [19:42] actionparsnip: I ran the program and it's processing with ''stdin'' system message. What I must do now? [19:42] ta_, dont think there's an easy way to do it with pop3 [19:42] happyface, friend of mine [19:42] sitting next to me, with his laptop [19:42] Nico1985: it should work with laptop Fn keys automatically [19:42] deadrabbit: yeah I'll have to do that. I appreciate your help man. [19:42] Also thank you for your help. [19:42] ta_ : have you tried rsync [19:42] hrdcore0x1a4 : sorry couldn't get the wireless working, but i gotta run, time for work. Hope you still stick with linux [19:43] really? press FN then use function keys? [19:43] mine works Nico1985 [19:43] some keys seem to work [19:43] fsck the vpn connection in ubuntu sucks [19:43] when it works :( [19:43] Anyone got a possible solution to my very anoying wifi problem?

[19:45] i defined one in /etc/interfaces [19:45] by the way, i'm pretty impressed by 9.10.. if there are any official ubuntu creaters in here.. i applaud you [19:45] Liquid-Silence: er, there are many vpn protocols available. which are you having issues with? vpnc works fine for me [19:45] Nico1985: except the vpn package [19:45] If I had a drive, and I used sfdisk to change the partition table, and then I reformatted the new partitions, would this be enough to make them usable?

[20:32] I thought /tmp used tempfs [20:32] but it always is installed [20:33] Pici: so then it might just speed stuff up? I plan on 8gb raid 0 ext2 [20:33] jimcooncat: it's not necessarily or even in most cases a separate partition [20:33] grendal_prime_ : you shoudl be able to share a mounted dvd across a network and then read it from another machine [20:33] syed, why did it say failed what error [20:33] i've installed Karmic_64 on a dell studio 1557 and i've problems with Wifi adaptor and sound volume special keys :( [20:33] does anybody know the az loco channel name?

[20:57] syed: obaid : so you never logged in gnome with the root account (if exists ...) [20:57] is there a way to make sure the display is set on reboot even if a monitor is not plugged in?

[20:57] hi folks. quick question. if i have a core 2 duo, i should get the 64bit installer, yes? and there's no added complications with flash or other software by using 64bit? === enzotib_ is now known as enzotib [20:58] militant: no main problems. what to get depends mainly in you RAM [20:58] if i have the kernel 2.6.32.6 and the patch 2.6.32.7 is that going to work? [20:58] knxville, i search google "teamspeak 2 ubuntu" and got alot of results, can u query google there ? [20:58] erUSUL: ok cool. it's a laptop, 2gb that i don't plan to expand [20:58] I am a long time rhel user and am going to try out ubuntu at home... coming from rhel...used to /etc/rc.d/init.d/ etc I'm told some of that is different.. any other major differences as far as managing the system goes? [20:59] xover: no; you have to reverse the .6 patch and apply .7 on top of 2.6.32 [20:59] rhel ? [20:59] syed: why do you want to access a sol called root trash ? *-) [20:59] Chr1z: yum vs apt :P [20:59] redhat ? [20:59] (Red Hat) [20:59] militant: then 32 bit would be enough [20:59] e-DIO-t: that about it?

[21:00] xover: is the estable release number [21:01] erUSUL: excellent, thanks for the help. i'm an on/off linux user, debian and slackware primarily, but ubuntu is better for a 'just works' laptop setup. i think i'll be good now. thanks again [21:01] e-DIO-t: so for example.. now to start apache I'd do /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start -- what'd be the way to do that on ubuntu?

[21:01] anyway i'm a noob :) [21:02] yep [21:02] Chr1z, eh why not service httpd start works both in redhat and ubuntu [21:02] Chr1z: with 9.10 you can also use 'service apache(2) start' [21:02] the kernel is only 3 kbs big? [21:02] like in Centos [21:02] usser: yes.. but I'm wanting to learn what paths are different between the two.. [21:02] Chr1z, oh my bad [21:02] i have found only version: 2.6.31 [21:02] usser: no... thanks for the suggestion... [21:03] from ubuntu's updates [21:03] When I try to send email on Evolution, with both gmail and Hotmail, it hangs forever on "sending message 1 of 1" and eventually fails. Why? [21:03] Chr1z: substantially they follow the same standard for fs folders. [21:03] Andorin, check your smtp settings [21:03] Andorin: bad server settings ? looks like it times out [21:03] usser: I'm just trying to figure out what all is going to be different from the rhel systems I use daily... [21:03] make sure they are correct [21:03] check logs [21:03] what's the linux-meta? [21:03] GAAAAH. im so frustrated!! i have installed it 4 times now and if i go on youtube it keeps telling me that i either have java scripting turned off (and we checked its all enabled or whatever) or that we dont have the newest version. [21:03] FabioTheApe: I'm pretty sure they are... I have it sending to the smtp server smtp.live.com, which apparently is the right server... [21:03] jrib [21:04] e-DIO-t: Ok... I figured it couldn't be too much difference.. [21:04] hiexpo, so was there a fix to my facebook problem? [21:04] Thanks guys.. I appreciate the info... [21:04] Chr1z, not much actually. /etc/network/interfaces in ubuntu controls network settings, not sure of equivalent for RH [21:04] MrsApple: pastebin the same command I asked you about before [21:04] Andorin, I believe you have to make a few other changes too... [21:04] like the port... [21:04] there was some diff in the "PATH" [21:04] yep: up for usser i agree! [21:04] but i don't remember exactly, but if you go the gmail help pages there are good directions there [21:04] it says the same thing jrib. :( [21:04] gmail pop and smtp requires ssl [21:05] MrsApple: pastebin, I can't see it [21:05] I've never had to specify a port for Evolution before... [21:05] sorry.. what's the "linux-meta" ? [21:05] usser: well I could always load rhel at home but for something ar home I believe ubuntu is more up to date :) some of the rhel packages are a bit old [21:05] dam [21:05] ? [21:05] http://paste.ubuntu.com/367075/ jrib [21:05] sayed [21:06] oh, well im having problems install pograms [21:06] Chr1z, im not a big fan of redhat or any rpm distro for that matter. one thing i'm sure you'll come to appreciate on ubuntu is apt-get and aptitude [21:06] Andorin, I am just asking you to verify that the settings are correct [21:06] MrsApple: it's still not installed. Did you install the "flashplugin-nonfree" package with synaptic like I said? [21:06] when ever i do it says package not found or somthing. [21:06] what problems [21:06] if you can't do what i ask you to do then I can't help you [21:06] FabioTheApe: I'm pretty sure they are. [21:06] u do what ? [21:06] I've, like, quadruple-checked the smtp address. [21:06] syed, [21:06] and another problem was firefox wouldnt load facebook after i had put my login information [21:06] seya [21:07] usser: yeah..rpm has major dependency problems... you are definately right about that [21:07] wait you use gmail? [21:07] hello [21:07] i never ran into dependency problems with rpm distros as of late. [21:07] we tried that one and it didnt work either. [21:07] jrib [21:07] I have problem with my microphone [21:07] and you say the server is smtp.live.com? [21:07] it is not working any advice? [21:07] obaid,when i try to download or uninstall somthing, it gets to 75% and says package operation failed. [21:07] MrsApple: not with me. [21:07] i think that's just a myth that everyone has kind of stuck with. [21:07] Where would one check to see if any problems detecting and loading modules for audio? dmesg? [21:08] MrsApple: install the package. Test. Pastebin that command. [21:08] Belial`, opensuse 10 YAST package manager was a nightmare. at times took up to an hour just to refresh repo list [21:08] syed, how do u install/uninstall ? [21:08] Andorin, ??? [21:08] obaid, i use ubuntu software center [21:08] hello [21:08] FabioTheApe: No, I'm trying to get it working for both Gmail and Hotmail, though Hotmail is more important at the moment. [21:08] anyone can help me with my sound card? [21:08] Oh... [21:08] my microphone is not working [21:08] I have Pidgin and Xchat set to start on boot, how can I have them start minimized or better yet to the system tray like in windows ? [21:08] I don't know if hotmail supports pop3 [21:08] Does this: http://userstyles.org/ exist for chromium? [21:08] jrib, erm. ok. [21:08] obaid, i try terminal sometimes, but it also comes back with errors. [21:08] syed, probably u have internet problem, that is why your facebook doesn't load well [21:09] MrsApple: this is the only thing I've asked you to do [21:09] Belial`: It's not quite as common as it was.. but if you upgrade from one rhel version to the next it happens.... especially on certain hardware... It also happens if you have a webserver running and need a slightly newer version of something... and the rpm isn't available so you do it from source... then use rpm for something that's required by the package later.. it breaks things... [21:09] obaid, but facebook was working on my other computer [21:09] FabioTheApe: pop3 would be for receiving email, wouldn't it? [21:09] how do i make an "ip addr add" stay forever, even after reboot? [21:09] well if pop3 doesn't work why would smtp> [21:09] I mean an alternative for that [21:09] can u tell me about the errors, syed [21:09] smtp? [21:09] FabioTheApe: hotmail supports pop3 since almost 1 and half years ago [21:09] wow the questions are flying in here [21:09] obaid, for facebook or the installation errors. [21:09] xangua, oh well that was about the last time i used hotmail [21:10] FabioTheApe: I can receive email just fine. Sending it is what doesn't work. [21:10] nou, ubuntu software center errors, or errors u get during apt-get installations [21:10] Anyone know what the name of the feature is where when you switch to a non-widescreen resolution on a widescreen screen, it puts a black border to fix the aspect ratio? [21:10] moejama: enable pidgin and x chat tray icons [21:10] Andorin, are you having issues with hotmail and email clients? [21:10] ehh... i have to go. [21:10] Belial`: rpm works well for the most part.... yum updates usually are flawless for me as well.. just on occasion it screws up.. but when it does it seems to screw up bad... [21:10] Trek: Yeah. When I try to send email through both Gmail and Hotmail with Evolution, it hangs on "sending message 1 of 1" for a while then fails. === numen__ is now known as numen [21:11] i try not to hang out at work naymore then i have too [21:11] AndorinL: when sending through which client? Gmail, hotmail, or both? [21:11] Trek: Both. [21:11] Andorin, i am sure it is setting issue, evolution works fine for me @ gmail [21:11] obaid, well for the installation, like i said, i get package peration failed or somthing [21:12] Andorin: first, I was unaware that Hotmail lets you use external email clients [21:12] syed, i cant understand that error, in detail plz [21:12] obaid: Well, it would probably help if I pointed out that I've never found an absolutely definitive guide on setting this sort for thing up. [21:12] Trek: Yes, it does. [21:12] http://paste.ubuntu.com/367083/ jrib [21:12] obaid, one sec. [21:12] Andorin: second, are you sure that you're set up correctly with the settings for both? [21:12] there are many guides out there, if you move you search google Andorin [21:12] Trek: To the extent of my knowledge, yes. [21:12] hey it's me ! [21:12] obaid,will a screenshot do?

[21:14] What's the deal with hardware decoding of video in Ubuntu (say, karmic)? Am I correct in assuming that hardware decoding will be used by the major players (mplayer, totem, xine, and vlc) for formats my nvidia chipset supports? Or would I have to do something special (beyond enabling the restricted drivers) to enable it? [21:14] what is the command line for me to use to bring up my graphic card settings and pick "recommended" [21:14] I need software to make the keys click when pressed google my head hurt.Please [21:15] Xorg --configure ?? [21:15] my bad, i didnt no what a paste bin was. [21:15] arand: yes and it doesnt make any sense to me. i just started using ubuntu and it seems every single thing i do there are undocumented problems. [21:15] MrsApple: one minute (multitasking) [21:15] paste.ubuntu.com [21:15] np. thank you so much jrib!!! [21:15] obaid, alright [21:15] arand: at any rate the wineappdb doesnt talk about my various issues. [21:16] obaid: only one - is -configure [21:16] urlwallace, why u want your keys to click when u press them [21:17] obaid, http://paste.ubuntu.com/367085/ [21:17] I gather that hardware acceleration for video decoding is tied up with a library called vdpau, but it isn't clear to me how that may or may not be used in Ubuntu. [21:18] obald mushy keyboard miss alt of them.I have great keyboarding skills have had click keys until this leyboard [21:18] unperson, vdpau is pretty recent its not included in karmic. Newest mplayer supports it but im not sure if its going to make it into 10.04 [21:18] anyone using a dell studio 17 inch .. if so how is it going for you and have you found any issues with it .. im getting mine on tuesday .. currently im on a dell precision m90 running ubuntu .. also for anyone else .. i asked this in #ubuntu-offtopic and i got no reply [21:18] sory spelling [21:18] obaid, is there a way i can ping facebook? [21:18] ping facebook.com [21:19] usser, So the bottom line is that for a default install with restricted nvidia drivers and appropriate codec libraries added (w32codecs, etc.) all decoding will still be done in software, not using the hardware decoding features of the video chipset? [21:19] arand: i want to install the original fallout game from and ISO, its a win98 game. can you help me? [21:19] obaid syed: why would you need to ping facebook? [21:19] Trek, to see if i get a single from facebook [21:19] MrsApple: alright back. Yeah, the libflashplayer.so isn't getting installed. Let's remove it and go with the adobe one [21:20] trek, beacuse it wont load after i put my login information in. [21:20] syed, could be system lag on their end === Sememmon_ is now known as Sememmon [21:20] unperson, well you can always switch your video rendered from xv to gl or gl2(thats what its called in mplayer anyways) then it'll be accelerated [21:20] *renderer [21:20] syed, i can access facebook fine, hence why I asked [21:20] syed, i am able to install prism-facebook without problems, sudo apt-get install prism-facebook [21:20] obaid, alright [21:21] usser, So this goes out of my depth...but I would think that would only accelerate the drawing, not the decoding. [21:21] jrib, ok. ill let you know when its done. [21:21] unperson, yes thats true. [21:21] obaid, i think i still get an error. [21:21] MrsApple: so: sudo aptitude purge flashplugin-nonfree, then download: http://www.adobe.com/go/fp10_linux_deb and double click on the resulting deb [21:21] trek, i tried logging in but it wont let me. [21:22] futurama140: I can only give general hints... One thing you might want to test is the "playonlinux" package, which is meant to simplify wine configuration.. [21:22] syed, does it return an error, or just hang on the login page with a "loading" thing? [21:22] unperson, or you can actually compile latest mplayer or whatever other player that supports vdpau by hand [21:22] usser, right [21:22] trek, it hang on the login page with a loading thing. [21:22] obaid, http://paste.ubuntu.com/367088/ [21:22] http://paste.ubuntu.com/367089/ jrib [21:22] usser, One day perhaps I'll get that desperate/inspired, but today is not that day. ;-) [21:23] Is there a way to store the ssh known_hosts without encrypting them? [21:23] futurama140: on second note, seems like it only has premade settings for fallout3, so might not be that useful [21:23] ii use known_hosts to generate a dynamic tab-completed ssh list, and it's kind of breaking it completely [21:23] MrsApple: you installed the .deb from adobe and restarted your browser before you checked that page? [21:23] i have problem with "sudo apt-get moo" [21:23] trek, it says reading static.ak.fbcdn.net and goes to a white page. [21:23] syed, :@:@:@ i wrote to you: sudo apt-get install prism-facebook [21:23] INSTALL [21:23] syed, is it possible your internet is just slow? i have that same issue... [21:23] obaid k. [21:24] jrib, yeah.... [21:24] obaid: he did that the second time, read the pastebin past the first operation [21:24] MrsApple: aptitude search '~i~nflash' [21:24] trek, other websites load real quick. [21:24] ops [21:24] obaid, ty i got it [21:24] syed: consider: other websites don't get the server load that facebook does [21:24] Trek, true. [21:25] what is fgfs-base === orion_ is now known as Guest54867 [21:25] syed: as such, other sites load fast, facebook usually has a 5-10 second load time for me as well [21:25] what is aptitude search? jrib [21:25] syed: and I get 2.5 Megabyte download speeds [21:25] why srt files can't read in arabic???? [21:25] trek, i get 20mbps download speeds. [21:25] arand i suppose i might just try downloading fallout3 then and try to get that to work. i might just have to go back to a windows distro, it might crash and be an open target for hacks, but at least things work. [21:25] syed, you have got broken package manager [21:25] obaid, can i fix it? [21:26] trek, facebook worked well before, it just the problem just came up to me. [21:26] I'm trying to install mod_passenger alongside mod_php5, but they both depend on different apache mpm modules. How can I install them both at the same time on karmic? [21:26] syed: 20megabits per second is your speed. that converts to maybe a 150 kilobytes per second speed [21:26] why srt files can't read in arabic???? [21:26] syed: you tried clearing your web cache, your cookies, closed your internet browser, and restarted your computer? [21:26] trek, i c. [21:26] can anybody help [21:26] trek, yep.

The placement of the Dell Utility partition is from sector 63 to 192779, The placement of the FAT32 partition should be from sector 192780 to 4401809. This is easy to set up using fdisk, however, there [22:51] is no gpt support in fdisk. I am trying to use parted, but cannot figure out how to define a partition by sector. Any ideas? [22:51] lacita: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[23:39] M1DLGpc: ↑ That linked page has a guide on how to restore grub after windows install. [23:39] thanks [23:40] Pici, I have [23:40] looks easier than old grub instructions (at first glance) [23:40] hi, i made a tiny script for log posting. could anyone, who is experienced in python/bash have look ? http://pastebin.com/mfe46008 - only 49 lines [23:40] Pici, it still lets me connect with correct password [23:40] lenina: this is better for #python [23:40] duff: Did you restart the ssh daemon after making the change? [23:41] i downloaded firefox 3.6 and installed it in /opt/firefox-3.6 ; then i replicated the contents of /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins in /opt/firefox-3.6/plugins ... but my plugins don't show up in firefox 3.6, about:plugins only shows the default plugin... any suggestions? [23:41] Hmm idk what to tell you then :( do you have a theme that uses that engine installed? [23:41] !who | JayCool [23:41] JayCool: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [23:41] jrib: um, it's for ubuntu beginners, who are unexperienced with logs - so i thought i could post it here [23:41] noah: it will probably "just work" if you symlink to the plugins instead [23:42] Pici, damnit.. I forgot to take out the # [23:42] Damn #`s" [23:42] <_Tristan> JayCool: yeah, human uses it. Human just doesn't work properly, it falls back to buttons/scrollbars/etc from raleigh [23:42] jrib: i tried that, no luck [23:42] duff: :) [23:42] noah: how did you do that exactly? [23:42] _Tristan, have you tried installing it via other methods ? [23:42] <_Tristan> airtonix: you mean like compiling it? [23:43] !info gtk2-engines-murrine [23:43] gtk2-engines-murrine (source: gtk2-engines-murrine): cairo-based gtk+-2.0 theme engine. In component main, is optional. Version 0.90.3-1ubuntu2 (karmic), package size 70 kB, installed size 216 kB [23:43] jrib: tried a few things... one thing i tried was "sudo ln -s /etc/alternatives/firefox-flashplugin flashplugin-alternative.so" [23:44] _Tristan, the way you install such package from the live cd is add the cd as a source to synaptics [23:44] <_Tristan> airtonix: I assumed since the human theme is on the livecd it'd already be installed [23:44] Pici, ok but... with that off, How can I add my public key? [23:44] Pici, its asking for pubkey only.... I cant ssh-copy-id [23:45] _Tristan, i don't think everything on the cd gets installed [23:45] _Tristan , I screwed up my theme engine once did you by change have a failed update? , if so reinstall it and the gtk2 engine and theme i'd say [23:45] jrib: OH i think i see the problem... LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.16/jre/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so [/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.16/jre/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64] [23:45] duff: Clearly. You'd need to have password auth enabled to copy your key. [23:45] noah: there you go [23:46] <_Tristan> JayCool: it happed just at the end of an update. I, however, have reinstalled pretty much everything gnome/gtk related since with no success. [23:46] Pici, so, enable it to copy key, disable it afterwards? sounds a bit of a pain. === jon is now known as Guest24440 [23:46] jrib: is there any way to share my script with the community ? [23:46] busy day today [23:46] duff: how else could it be done? [23:47] lenina: forum post or blog post I suppose [23:47] lenina, you could lookinto using either github or launchpad ? [23:47] jrib, I thought maybe, it would allow the password 1 time for the key copying process... [23:47] jrib, not for proper ssh access.... [23:47] duff: what's the difference? [23:47] I mean I can just copy whatever key I want then [23:47] _Tristan, does it by any change say error failed software install when starting synaptic? did you run the command it said to fix? [23:48] airtonix: github/launchpad is a bit too much for a 49-line-script, even if its useful :) but thanks [23:48] lenina, for launchpad sure... but not github...its perfect [23:48] <_Tristan> JayCool: no, it doesn't [23:48] jrib, PasswordAuthentication no = no key copying, no passwords at all... PasswordAuthentication yes = password access all the time.. [23:48] <_Tristan> JayCool: but I think it did before. I don't remember what I did. [23:49] jrib, I thought maybe with keyauth enabled and passauth disabled, it would at least me able to copy my key.. [23:49] doesnt matter dude.. I`ve got it covered. [23:49] Hmm Ok , Hey does anyone have the command to fix failed software installs via Synaptic ? [23:50] i forget it [23:50] JayCool: broken packages? [23:51] yeah , or software installs that didn't complete correctly. or with all the packages [23:51] Are many firefox 3.6 plugins broken in lucid 64bit ? [23:51] Drakeson : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Lucid/10.4 support/discussion. [23:52] JayCool: There is an option in the synaptic menu for repairing broken... I think it does the same as "apt-get install -f" which is another way. [23:53] Pici: sure, done. the topic could mention this, though. [23:53] can sum1 help me with some sound problems? [23:54] There goes Pulse Audio! [23:54] <_Tristan> JayCool: this is my problem: http://i45.tinypic.com/2hqar2r.png [23:55] futurama140: nice [23:55] <_Tristan> JayCool: see the windows-98-ish theme when using human controls [23:57] I get this error when I connect my camera: "Unable to mount KODAK EASYSHARE M380 Digital Camera. Error initializing camera: -60: Could not lock the device." It is not listed with mount but is listed under lsusb. can anyone help me please? [23:57] _Tristan, I see, that happened to me once as well. Try refreshing the repos and installing all updates. Sometimes they reconfigure and re-link broken paths for the engine [23:58] * lwieise87 is back. [23:58] does anyone know where to get a driver for a Canon Pixima MP250??? [23:58] how do I share a folder owned by root? [23:59] Myrtti, - breaktime [23:59] how small can ubuntu be trimmed to? [23:59] it's a multifunction printer/scanner, and I can only find a driver for the MP220 [23:59] !KaiForce, use "sudo Nautilus" and right click on folder and change the permissions to everyone [23:59] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:59] KaiForce, create a group and add the person who needs to access the folder to that group, then modify the folder permisions
