[00:00] JayCool: much obliged [00:00] KaiForce, NP I hope thats the right thing you needed [00:00] when i issue lshw, it says my eth1 is disabled. anyone tell me why [00:01] can anyone help me instal my printer???

[00:02] tanner, what do you need to do with your disk ? [00:02] tanner, you can find out for yourself by editing the menu [00:02] i want to launch the application [00:03] airtonix: that seems a bit excessive just to get the name of the application [00:03] tanner, palimpsest [00:03] I am having trouble understanding how to get grub fixed, after reinstalling XP in first partition, i've tried the wiki howto, but i just dont understand [00:03] thank you mazda01_ [00:03] tanner, regardless its something you can do for yourself [00:03] M1DLGpc: So have you mounted the ubuntu drive? [00:03] airtonix: that's a shitty solution to provide in a channel dedicated to a distro that is meant to be user friendly [00:03] tanner, as long as you understand you can find out the command for any application by editng the main menu [00:03] when i issue lshw, it says my eth1 is disabled. anyone tell me why [00:04] tanner, and i disagree that it is excessive... terraforming a planet is exessive... editing a menu is trivial [00:04] hey guys be nice [00:04] arand, i have no idia whats mounted and whats not [00:04] airtonix: yeah, that attitude will really take Ubuntu far. [00:04] tanner, your point is ? === urlsupper is now known as url [00:05] sounds like theres either trolling or baiting here === url is now known as urlaway [00:05] nah they are both good people , they just disagree [00:06] ciao [00:06] M1DLGpc: First, start a terminal.. [00:07] hiexpo, more info here : http://t0x.in/xchattextevents.html [00:07] arand, started [00:07] M1DLGpc: you are on a liveCD now right? [00:07] on that machine [00:07] I'll have to copy everything over [00:08] M1DLGpc: Ok, now run "sudo fdisk -l" which will list all the partitions on there, one of them should be "ext" filesystem which would be the ubuntu partition. [00:09] M1DLGpc: Note which one that is, name is normally sda# (# being a number) [00:09] i think sda5 [00:10] <_Tristan> I have this problem: http://i45.tinypic.com/2hqar2r.png (my controls are broken) tell me how to fix it and I'll give you $30 [00:11] M1DLGpc: ok, then you create a directory "sudo mkdir /media/tmpdir"... [00:11] airtonix, - ok i went there and there was a code there but what do i do to change the color? [00:11] how can I move the menu bars from one monitor to the other in extended desktop? I have the menu bar on the right monitor, but I want to move it to the monitor on left [00:11] arand, I have 2 i think it might be sda2 and sda5 sda2 is w95 ext'd (LBA) and the other just is linux [00:11] click on it [00:12] done [00:12] M1DLGpc, you can fire up gprated to see this in a gui [00:12] ok [00:12] *gparted [00:13] M1DLGpc: And then mount this partition to that directory "sudo mount /dev/sda# /media/tmpdir" (# again being the number of the ubu partition) [00:14] mupen64plus (cli version from google repository, gui in Ubuntu repo currently broken), A & B buttons backwards on my N64 controller -- a week-or-so ago asked in the channel if anyone knew how to swap them and was directed to ~/.config/mupen64plus where i eventually found mupen64plus.cfg (different config file from GUI version), and was able to simply change Button A to 5 and Button B to 4 (or vice-versa) and my problem was fixed! Reinstalled MythBuntu a [00:14] nd now the cfg doesn't have anything to change under input (it's blank for all 4 controllers) - i tried installing the GUI version to see if that made any difference (it of course does not) --- SO my question is: does anyone have a mupen64plus.cfg file configured for an N64 controller what would be willing to share there SDL input section with me? [00:14] gparted errors with cant have overlaping partitons [00:15] M1DLGpc: hmm, that might be a sign of some other problem... [00:15] <_Tristan> http://i45.tinypic.com/2hqar2r.png fix this problem and I'll give you $30. [00:15] ok [00:15] M1DLGpc, you didn't change anything right? it just said that on start up? [00:15] yes [00:16] no changes [00:16] I can use gparted, grub however (at least the following of the wiki) has me confused [00:16] i created an "install" target in the makefile for my library, which just cp's the library to /usr/lib and chmod 755, and cp's the header to /usr/include and chmod 755. is there a "proper" way to create an "install" target in the makefile for my library? [00:16] arand, I have that ok [00:16] _Tristan: sudo rm /root/.themes && sudo ln -s /home/yourusername/.themes /root/.themes [00:17] _Tristan, sudo rm -rf /root/.themes && sudo ln -s /home/yourusername/.themes /root/.themes <-- sorry, try this [00:17] M1DLGpc: It may be that the partition table is incorrect, in which case just reinstalling grub might not solve everything, we could try though.. [00:17] does anyone have an elantech touchpad that is incorrectly detected as a usb mouse? [00:17] hmmm [00:17] please [00:18] <_Tristan> Stormx2: did not do it [00:18] _Tristan: Try logging out and in. [00:18] <_Tristan> Stormx2: tried that too [00:18] Just now? [00:18] i'll run spinrite when I reboot after the fix assuming we get the fix [00:18] <_Tristan> I tried those two things in order many times before [00:19] _Tristan, this is an issue with the theme engine i don't think that will work , it's broken and cant find the engine :( [00:19] M1DLGpc: ok, after mounting it, run the command "sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/tmpdir /dev/sda#" (# again...) which will reinstall grub. [00:19] arand, instaling xp has a nasty effect on any hdd..... [00:20] <_Tristan> JayCool: I have a live CD and everything works fine on that... can't I just copy over the right files? [00:20] M1DLGpc: hm, in theory, it shouldn't... [00:20] ok figured it out thanks [00:21] --root is unreconised [00:21] hi everyone, my Display in ubuntu is corrupted and everything is now over sized, and when i try to resize the display resolution it doesnt event detect my default one which is "1280x1024" [00:21] how do u think i can fix it ? :( [00:21] much better [00:21] SaEeD: sounds like an issue with your system, you tried running off a LiveCD to see if it works? [00:21] i tried the " dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" but no luck [00:21] _Tristan, you can try copying the /usr/share/themes/ Murina Over to your HD from the CD [00:22] well, windows works fine without anyproblem [00:22] how do I install ubuntu on my iPad? [00:22] <_Tristan> lol.

[00:22] I am setting up a 5TB+ partititon with a gpt partition table. The drive is comprised of 4x2TB in RAID5. To boot from this drive, I must have 2 boot partitionsa: a Dell Utility Partition (94.1Mb), and a FAT32 partition (2.01Gb) at the beginning of the drive. 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 [00:22] 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? [00:23] u can try to purge the package [00:23] M1DLGpc: If the error message is "Unrecognized option `--root'" then make sure it has no spaces after root.

[00:33] meganerd, ah ya, i love htop, didnt think to use it [00:33] M1DLGpc: No problem, sorry it wasn't fixed, I'm kind of scratching my head as to why...

[00:54] don't buy from ati - enemy of your freedom [00:54] SaEeD, you can go to single user mode by 'sudo init 1' [00:54] _Tristan, you can open Synaptic and type Murina and right click on the package select properties and look for "File List" or somthin [00:54] MFen, so anything change? [00:54] blakkheim: they have done better than nvidia as of late [00:54] blakkheim, that is not true [00:54] blakkheim: ATI has free drivers that work fine. [00:54] lol [00:54] blakkheim, i understand your opposition, but I need to install them nonetheless [00:55] mkanyicy: thankx alot, how can i got back to gdm afterwards? [00:55] SaEeD: ctl+alt+F1 [00:55] hey, is there anyone down for trying to gain root status on a linux based kernal? [00:55] i'm trying to install the latest fglrx 10.1 [00:55] SaEeD: log in as usual "sudo service gdm stop" [00:55] SaEeD, CTRL+D [00:55] Anybody having trouble with boxee shutting off visual effects?

[00:56] _Tristan, you can open Synaptic and type Murina and right click on the package select properties and look for "File List" [00:56] SaEeD, remember that a single user mode is what is so-called 'recovery mode' you dont want to make that your daily habit [00:56] functionofxy: what ATI card do you have?

[00:57] JayCool: or pidgin [00:57] hey, is there anyone down for trying to gain root status on a linux based kernal?

[00:57] maybe its not a empathy problem [00:58] Hi all. Is there a way to keep track of friends in steam (notifications of when they log in and log off) in ubuntu without actually installing steam? I've already tried to install steam, but so far have not had any sucess. [00:58] I was under the impression that the fglrx 10.1 from ati is the top of the line [00:58] coz_: yes, it's enabled [00:58] MFen, and in terminal run compiz & and pastebin the out put [00:58] meganerd, especially for a dual-head 1080 setup [00:58] dorkface, i'ven't heard of ghost-steam [00:59] functionofxy: other way around, radeonhd is the new driver that ATI hired Novel to write, full 3d support on HD devices. It does not however work for older cards, only the new ones [00:59] functionofxy: I cannot speak to dual head support, I only do that with Intel based devices these days [00:59] meganerd, fantastic! thanks for the advice. i'll be back in a few minutes to let you know how it goes [01:00] mkanyicy, you need to enable community repos to get pidgin installed, find sources i preferences and enable all but source [01:00] I just installed Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) on my laptop. The install went great, and it boots up fine, but when I log in every character of text is displayed as a box. I already tried re-installing, but that didn't fix it.

[01:49] No, you can make them the same partition if you want [01:49] ok let say i have a hd of 100GB i manually partitiion is to be 2GB for Swap Area....... next what should i do? [01:50] Make the rest of it / [01:50] oh [01:50] how about /home [01:50] no need to?

[01:50] one thing that might be nice, create the / as a LVM partition, leave about 4GB free [01:50] why some website teach me to do it with / and then another partition with /home [01:51] That way you can do a snapshot in case you break something accidentally [01:51] <_Tristan> it\ns simple\n really\n [01:51] phong_: If you want to make them separate you can. It doesn't matter [01:51] phong_: watch your language pelase [01:51] phong_: many people prefer to make /home on it's own partition so it doesn't fill up the hard drive and cause the system to slow down [01:51] ezrafree is that the advantage ?

[01:52] arghh2d2: If it's partitions, they're on the same HD either way, so whether it's logging or not it's the same thing [01:53] if your / get's full it will fail [01:53] i thought i made it 2GB swap and /home [01:53] ezrafree: That's true [01:53] i only see Filesystem [01:53] Zer: yes but only the partition they have access to can they fill up [01:53] hi guys any way to open and edit visio files? [01:53] Yeah, if you have some other user who'll fill up your hard drive it might be useful [01:53] the partition for / they won't have write access to so they cannot fill up, saving that filespace for log files and system files [01:53] speedxxxcore: cantenna?

[01:54] it's a folder [01:54] phong_: try browsing or cd'ing to the /home directory [01:54] that's not partition [01:54] phong_: then it is in fact there [01:54] phong_: swap is used as memory, and Computer doesn't show partions separately afaik [01:54] phong_: partitions are mounted as folders [01:54] arghh2d2: He's talking about speed, what you are saying has nothing to do with that... [01:55] ez: i see [01:55] Huston: it's the process of converting a pringles can into an antenna, there is guides online [01:55] when I click on PLACES I can see the partitions [01:55] does x64 run faster than 32 bits? [01:55] i can see mine is 6GB when i do free [01:55] i have a wireless n adapter. i don't need an external adapter. i need to boost the amount of power going to it. [01:55] Huston a cantenna is more difficult and more expensive than the Asian Cooking Method (google that, you can) [01:56] phong_: Yeah generally. Takes up more RAM though [01:56] i have GTX 285 i love it [01:56] will linux do SLi ? [01:56] Huston heres googles first find http://www.instructables.com/id/Wifi-Signal-Strainer-WokFi/ [01:56] i have 2 of them [01:57] lol that doesn't help me when i'm at my college. [01:57] is there a visual c++ for linux? [01:57] i dong like g++ [01:57] any visual appearence for coding? [01:58] <_Tristan> has anybody found a better code editor than gedit? [01:58] phong_: you might try eclipse [01:58] is it free? [01:58] yes [01:58] Huston you mean the amount of signal going to it. It matters not whether it is N or not. Asian cooking does not need an external wireless. Go make a cantenna then. Or just buy a better antenna. [01:58] noit to mention it is a internal wireless adapter [01:58] phong_: sudo apt-get install eclipse [01:58] ok let me do that [01:58] !info eclipse [01:58] eclipse (source: eclipse): Extensible Tool Platform and Java IDE. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.5.1+repack~1-0ubuntu3 (karmic), package size 7 kB, installed size 72 kB [01:58] Huston, cant do anything about internal wireless adaptors. You are barking at a tree with no cats. [01:58] phong_: You need to have the universe repo enabled [01:58] it's installing ardch [01:59] ah ok [01:59] wha is that? [01:59] phong_: :) [01:59] well thanks anyways [01:59] phong_: never mind, you have it [01:59] Best huston [01:59] oh i found some good them for linux [01:59] i forgot where it is [01:59] any one suggest ? === MrApple is now known as MrsApple [01:59] can i open visio file in any program in ubuntu?

[02:41] ezrafree: Linux is nowhere like Windows or MacOS.

[02:44] i have GTX 285 rules man [02:45] i have 2 GTX 285 SLi [02:45] phong_: then as mentioned the themes are gnome-look.org should work, as well as try installing Emerald [02:45] functionofxy, it depends on what graphical programs you're using [02:45] Nooneshere: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeArt/Tutorials [02:45] do you only have to wipe a file once for it to be unrecoverable? [02:45] phong_, Nooneshere , check themes at gnome-look.org [02:45] functionofxy, some programs support fglrx, some support the open source radeon driver [02:45] Ardchiolle thank you very much. [02:45] sje46: dban the drive [02:45] sje46: no i believe 7 times is the least until it's unrecoverable [02:45] Are there any problems running Img-Burn in wine [02:46] anyone knows of an sftp client for windows mobile? [02:46] functionofxy, my radeon is on the legacy list, so ati won't be supporting it. therefore I use the radeon driver [02:46] Nooneshere: many people find it easiest to just edit an existing theme, though [02:46] blakkheim, what's that? And I'm not looking for advice. [02:46] Is it possible to get java working in epiphany [02:46] Dimoutlook, try #winehq [02:46] mezquitale: perhaps try asking in #windows [02:46] sje46: dban is a tool for securely erasing the contents of a hard drive [02:46] Dimoutlook: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=4625 [02:46] ezrafree, someone on reddit says that once is all you need, because it wipes it at the bit level [02:46] Dimoutlook, that sounds like a generic question that will get a better answer in the forums or google [02:46] Ardchoille i just want to make some minor image and code edits. I assume i need to learn minor gtk correct? [02:46] !google | mezquitale [02:46] mezquitale: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [02:47] ezrafree, i dont think i want to explain ssh and sftp to windows users [02:47] sje46: i am only conveying what i've heard, i do not know for sure [02:47] Nooneshere: that would help [02:47] toastedmilk, I have an HD 48030 (R770 series). The big difference (i.e. decrease in performance) seems to be in window manager/compiz [02:47] ardchoille, he uses wine so most likely he's not a new user [02:47] video is the same as before [02:47] Ardchoille thank you very much :) [02:47] mezquitale, this is not a windows channel [02:47] mezquitale: hehe, the ones here on freenode aren't quite _that_ inept :) [02:47] ezrafree, http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/awpv2/in_response_to_the_craziest_fact_post_what/c0jszk3 [02:47] some 3D application perform better, some worse. [02:47] i loev the shaking windows looks [02:47] love8 [02:47] mkanyicy thanks I have it running just wondered if it makes as many coasters as the regular stuff [02:47] Reddit is awesome.... sorry for being off-topic. [02:47] phong_: it makes my wife seasick [02:48] ezrafree, if they use windows mainly for their own computing then that tells you a lot [02:48] sje46: myself personally i would probably not trust reddit as a reliable source of information [02:48] ezrafree, I am so facepalming right now [02:48] mezquitale: a lot of them don't, they're just in there to help folks out. take my advice or leave it, up to you. [02:48] functionofxy, maybe you need to configure your x under the radeonhd driver? have you looked at ubuntu's community documentation? then again, since ati is supporting it's fglrx for the hd series, I would probably use that unless I had a program that specifically didn't have support for it [02:49] ezrafree, let me try the windows channel just for kicks though, i'll try the offtopic channel first though [02:49] Why would the "Detect network hardware" section of Ubuntu 9.10 install tell me it's found usb-storage hardware and want to load the module [02:49] ezrafree, did you even read the comment? Or do you like saying idiotic things just to troll? He linked to another website. He gave a big explanation. Just don't dismiss it just because it was a comment on a website. [02:49] mezquitale: i'd think you'd have better chances of someone in #windows knowing about ssh/sftp then someone in #ubuntu/#ubuntu-offtopic knowing about windows mobile [02:50] ezrafree, should I dismiss everything said on this channel because "you shouldn't believe anything on IRC"? Idiotic [02:50] yes [02:50] interesting o.o [02:50] toastedmilk, i did use the community doc site to install and configure. meganerd told me the exact opposite--that i'd be better off under radeonhd even though i have a newish card [02:50] sje46: yesi did read through it, but i'm also not familiar with actionfront.com [02:50] I was asking if his information was true, anyways. [02:50] Let's keep it on topic folks, please [02:50] so umm, anyone know a lick about accessing windows printer, via xubuntu?? [02:50] Ubuntu: 1270 people. Windows: 277. That says something. :D [02:51] Quirkly: the cups config tools should let you set it up. [02:51] Something is not inherently false just because of the website...if it has information explaining it, judge it from /that/. So is it true? [02:51] if anyone has any spare time i would like some help with video drivers intel mobile [02:51] ezrafree, apparently you havent been to the offtopic channel often, i've been on both channels though on windows not as often as i'd like but let me go down there and see how many souls I fright [02:51] kurou, for percentage of users of an OS that also use IRC.. [02:51] well, Dr_Willis I don't seem to be able to access them [02:51] the thems u show me are background images [02:51] the tools that is [02:51] oh god, i want a real themes [02:51] I can get into a print settings, where I can add a cups server, but the windows machine sure ain't a cups server as far as I know [02:51] Quirkly: iirc you can install standard gnome components in xubuntu [02:51] phong_: do you have emerald installed? [02:51] Quirkly: cups has a web interface on http://127.0.0.1:631 also i recall [02:51] krysis, go ahead and ask the question, all on one line [02:51] no [02:51] I think its port 631 [02:51] what is it [02:52] lol, I tried that too, it failed miserable, not sure what I don't have installed [02:52] yes on that cups interface [02:52] Is there a button I can flip to turn off automounting of drives for a while? I broke some partitions. [02:52] phong_: if it were me, i'd install emerald (a theme manager for compiz) [02:52] but how to get it [02:52] i'm new to linux [02:52] functionofxy, Haha, it's really all a matter of opinion. What I would suggest is to install and configure both, then run high-end programs through the terminal to compare and contrast output. Whichever seems to run smoother, go with. [02:52] I can only install limited stuff on this machine, it overheats quickly when installing a lot of packages, so gnome stuffs out of question [02:52] Quirkly: i dont use xubuntu so no idea what they are lacking. check the apcakge manager for the gnome cups config tool perhaps and install it [02:52] phong_: its best to forget about emerald. its a dead project [02:52] phong_: installing software on ubuntu is done through "Ubuntu Software Center" located under the Applications menu [02:52] Lot of help this channel has been..... [02:52] Quirkly: http://127.0.0.1:631/printers/ seems to work here [02:53] Dr_Willis: it's working perfectly over here [02:53] * Dr_Willis sends SectorX4 a bill [02:53] toastedmilk, thanks. I think I'll switch back to fglrx [02:53] phong what exactly are you looking for? Icons? Windows Themes? [02:53] see, I thought I should be pretty damn close, because some smb tool, I forget what, gave me a list, and well it saw the printer, and I can access shared folders on the machine just fine [02:53] oh /printers? [02:53] I thought maybe I forgot something [02:53] window* not window$ [02:53] krysis: windows themes with effects [02:53] krysis: a better windows themes with effects [02:53] the best would definately be a combination of emerald from the repository with compiz enabled, ever try this? [02:53] functionofxy, until something goes wrong ;) [02:53] nope no worky on here [02:53] krysis: no i 've never try [02:53] krysis: i agree, that's what i'm running here [02:53] krysis: i'm new to linux [02:53] !emerald [02:53] ok, hold on leme get you the commands [02:53] emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. [02:54] Anyone know anything about installing splash files with the extension .os with usplash? [02:54] Quirkly: the problem is probably how the host PC is set up [02:54] toastedmilk, thanks! I'll try to let you know what happens [02:54] krysis: how to make it work ? [02:54] phong_: 'Ubuntu Software Center'. It's noob mode. [02:54] krysis: or where to get it [02:54] Something happen to my ubuntu it keep on going black screen [02:54] oh, do you have compiz enabled? [02:54] ok* [02:54] Dr_Willis: i was not aware that it was no longer supported, thank you for the information [02:54] toastedmilk: i seem to recall that being phased out in the next release. :) but thats all i know on the topic. [02:54] guys how can i delete a U3 partition (reformatting and zeroing out does not delete this) [02:54] yes i do have it enabled [02:54] well, perhaps....I mean, it's shared, and I can access share folders just fine, but I am missing something, like the pretty add printer button every set of instructions speaks of [02:54] functionofxy, yeah just PM me whenever [02:54] i have GTX 25 [02:54] GTX 285 [02:54] phong_, check the URL i pasted on your pm [02:54] ok, go to terminal and type in "sudo apt-get install emerald" [02:54] Dr_Willis: when Ubuntu has gnome 3.0 by default, compiz is going bye-bye anyway [02:54] I imagine emerald will also vanish in the next release. [02:54] to install the window themes [02:54] When I try use wireless it keep black screen of death [02:54] phong_: Don't click any URL anyone pastes to you in pm [02:55] Do you know how to edit your compiz effects? [02:55] Dr_Willis, you're killin' me smalls. I'm using jaunty, it should have pretty much been phased out by now. But I have this awesome splash screen! [02:55] mkanyicy: That's a good way to get banned. [02:55] ardchoille: ive not heard much good about gnome-3 - but it is still a work in progress. :) [02:55] no error msg or anthing just show plan black screen [02:55] Rabbitbunny, how? [02:55] i love gnome 3! will be amazing when it comes stable, it brings out more usability with desktops [02:55] Krysis: CCSM type compiz in ubuntu software center [02:55] i saw it [02:55] multiple* [02:55] phong_: yes never get help in PM with linux, someone could potentially make you do something bad and noone else will see it to warn you that it's a bad idea [02:55] or you can use the simple compiz editor [02:55] i see [02:55] toastedmilk: you copy it to the right place is all i seem to recall on installing them. The gnome-look site may have some info ion how to install them [02:56] krysis, System -> Preferences -> CompizConfig [02:56] krysis can u just tell me the good them now [02:56] phong, have you installed emerald? [02:56] i want to download one [02:56] no [02:56] i dont know how [02:56] phong_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:56] ok open a terminal [02:56] krysis, or if you feel like reading through man pages you can use the terminal [02:56] when i've try firefox it keep black screen off death [02:56] KenBW2, Dr_Willis basically all I'm trying to do is find the app that lets me add a network printer.....thank you for the input, hopefully maybe google will reveal something to me [02:56] ok i did that [02:56] its easier to copy and paste toasted [02:56] phong_: to download emerald, go to APPLICATIONS > UBUNTU SOFTWARE CENTER [02:56] i have terminal open [02:56] ok now phont copy this "sudo apt-get install emerald simple-ccsm" [02:56] without the quuotes [02:56] and paste it to your terminal [02:57] then press enter and follow instructions [02:57] i think it did install now [02:57] ezrafree: They never like the easy way.. [02:57] still following and click yes [02:57] Quirkly: perhaps xubuntu doesn't support printer shares out of the box - i remember it not supporting samba shares [02:57] it's done krysis [02:57] Quirkly: if the cups web interface is not working.. somthing else may be needed as well [02:57] ok, then when its done it'll take you back to the typing, can you type? [02:57] Dr_Willis, It's in the /usr/share/pixmamps/splash folder, but the 'Login Window' settings menu doesn't have it in a list, nor can find it in the folders [02:57] yes i can type [02:57] ok cool [02:58] krysis, i hope you made a backup. [02:58] well, I have a feeling it doesn't support them out of the box KenBW2, thus my questions, lol, even went onto GNOME and can't find the add printer dialog all the instructions speak of [02:58] what's next now ? [02:58] what for toasted? [02:58] toastedmilk: Hmm the usplash stuff happens befor the login window I belive.. Xsplash in 9.10 happens right befor/after the GDM login window [02:58] ok [02:58] and Dr_Willis I've begun digging into why my cups isn't working [02:58] phong go here: http://gnome-look.org/index.php?xcontentmode=103&PHPSESSID=9193a3cc2631d71ad8ad6e56af7ad23b [02:58] all themes are here, do you know how to download files from this site? [02:58] 'm in there [02:58] Quirkly: in gnome it's System > Admin > Printing [02:58] i saw a lot of them [02:58] ok go ahead and download one of those themes to your desktop [02:58] ok i will brb [02:58] ok [02:58] KenBW2, I have that, but it only allows me to add a CUPs printer [02:59] toasted why backup? for what? [02:59] Quirkly: as opposed to? [02:59] sje46: also, regarding your initial question, it depends whom you are trying to make the data unrecoverable from. read up on the Gutmann algorithm [02:59] krysis: the gnome-art and gnome-artng tools are handy for downloading themes [02:59] well, I dunno what a shared printer would be considered [02:59] where would my cups server be? [02:59] Dr_Willis, oh...crap. Wrong preference menu. I have 9.04, but where is the usplash logo config menu? or command? [02:59] that's what it asks for [02:59] krysis: Use complete nicks, there's a good chance of a partial match. [02:59] i dont think i've used those... i'll try [02:59] sje46: 1 wipe may make it unrecoverable to some, but not to say, Department of Defense [02:59] Quirkly: go to New > Network Printers > Windows printer via SAMBA [02:59] ah ok, with tab, got it Rabbitbunny :P [03:00] new is greyed out [03:00] that's the problem [03:00] toastedmilk: no idea. the extent i use usplash is to disable it with 'nosplash' in the kernel boot options. I find it totally useless.. and causes more probolems then it fix's [03:00] hi all [03:00] only thing avail is the "Connect..." option [03:00] does anyone know how to fully remove KDE? [03:00] thanks ezrafree [03:00] !puregnome | ViridianFire [03:00] ViridianFire: 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 [03:00] krysis: is white os x good? [03:00] thanks [03:00] Dr_Willis, man usplash haha [03:00] it looks like apple [03:00] phong_: that depends on what you like :P [03:00] some poeple miht like windows... blahg [03:01] Quirkly: what version of *ubuntu? [03:01] ezrafree: Not to single you out, but i'm having problems with a usb disk, i need ubuntu to not try to mount anything I plug in for just a few moments, happen to now anything about that? [03:01] well, freshly downloaded last week [03:01] oh ...let me continue to look [03:01] xubuntu [03:01] brb [03:01] so, pretty new [03:01] hello, I'm having a problem with my ethernet connection. i've got a fresh install of ubuntu 9.10 and when the ethernet cable is plugged in, it's constantly connecting and then disconnecting (by itself, i'm not doing anything to the cord). the cable works fine on my macbook pro. [03:01] Quirkly: are you able to upload a screenshot? [03:01] ya, I do that asap, hang tight [03:01] KenBW2: Are you nuts? [03:01] i dont even see much pointin using xubuntu these days. :) [03:01] :P [03:02] shitty machine [03:02] Rabbitbunny: no? [03:02] that's my only reasoning [03:02] i use LXDE on my Xubuntu install [03:02] Rabbitbunny: should i be? [03:02] for my Thinkpad 240 [03:02] oooooolld laptop [03:02] err "netbook" [03:02] I barely got it installed, have to run laptop with an icepack underneath it [03:02] lmao [03:02] Rabbitbunny: let's see i believe gnome-auto-mounter handles automounting, and/or dbus [03:02] KenBW2: Uploading a how many MB file to find a 10byte string, seriously. [03:02] from the 'sites' ive seen xubuntu vs gnome isent saving that much in space/cpu/memory. expecially after you have to install all these extra gnome tools/apps [03:02] че ето за хуетень ? [03:02] sorry not gnome-auto-mounter, gnome-volume-manager [03:03] !ru | orizon [03:03] orizon: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [03:03] да иди ты нахуй [03:03] Rabbitbunny: welcome to 2010 where bandwidth isnt scarce [03:03] sor [03:03] ezrafree: Ah ha, I see. Now I know enough for the man pages to teach me more. Like how it's supposed to work. Thanks.

I know there's a utility that will basically fix the mbr or something (forgot what it was), does someone know what I'm talking about and can you point me in the right direction? thanks! [03:06] ouyes: why do you want XP *in* Ubuntu? [03:06] hi, after more than 3 versions later i installed ubuntu again, but my celeron laptop is still have trouble as it used to have with 7.10/8.04 , my keyboard & touchpad is not being detected [03:06] krysis: i thouught gnome-art does get themse from gnome-look.org [03:06] KenBW2, my job [03:06] oh no, its from art.gnome.org [03:06] ouyes: you could always do a dual boot, and just boot into windows sometimes [03:06] krysis: so you get 100000% more ugly themes. :) [03:06] bye all. [03:06] ouyes: do you know how to intall virtualbox? [03:06] there was some extra parameter to add in the boot settings which was disabing sound but enabling my touchpad, i forgot it [03:06] KenBW2, i need to install a IM software from my company [03:06] I ca'n't think of many thigns you really need xp on ubuntu for...even though I have it [03:06] lmao yeah, art.gnome.org isn't that great :/ [03:07] ouyes: whats the name of the IM software?

My understanding is, however, that you can't use a through table on a ManyToMany to self ? [03:08] krysis answer my dear [03:08] Quirkly: you said it was asking for a cups server - put that location in [03:08] oops wrong channel hah [03:08] hrm, KenBW2 that file is lacking completely [03:08] yeah, just pick any [03:08] oh [03:08] what is the name of the network hardware driver in karmic/lucid?

[03:23] im not sure if tar can unzip zip files... [03:23] no, it's a family machine [03:23] mkanyicy: thank you [03:23] its easier if you just right click and extract here [03:23] thus, windows for the masses [03:23] krysis okay i do it form gui then [03:23] brb [03:23] haji can you repost it? [03:23] I mean, I could go in to my email on that machine and print the file I want....but that's too fucking easy [03:23] saruji, ok try this: 'sudo fdisk -l' and paste it again [03:24] its just easier phong_ with time you can use the terminal for more things, for now get used to the gui [03:24] Quirkly: and wouldnt be as fun :) [03:24] !language | Quirkly [03:24] Quirkly: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

[03:26] when I want a permanent fix, like when I get a new hard drive, I'll probably do a ubuntu proper install [03:26] mkanyicy: how do i find out what sda is? [03:26] Quirkly: take the cover off and give the dust a blow [03:26] Quirkly: that helped with a friend's laptop overheating problem [03:26] saruji, that is your hard drive [03:26] well, the hard drive is baerly functioning too... [03:26] I recently uninstalled Firefox, but there are still two firefox folders in /etc, would it be safe to remove these? i imagine they are the reason i still see reference to firefox in BleachBit [03:26] I only can run this with an ice pack underneath lol, it's crazy [03:26] krysis: the tab only give up to Mac4Lin_ [03:26] haha [03:26] if anyone likes games in here go check out "Quake Live" its amazing, works great from the firefox [03:26] mkanyicy: i know but I have a few and couldnt it also be a cdrom? or flash drive? [03:26] I'll probably take it apart and clean it at some point, like when I get a new drive [03:27] phong_: what other filenames with Mac4Lin are there? [03:27] Quirkly: lol, why wait [03:27] mkanyicy: or sda is my live cd? [03:27] krysis any what is next: sudo sh Mac4Lin_Install_v1.0.sh ??? [03:27] is that right?

[03:29] bottom left [03:29] ok [03:29] desktop [03:29] and I've had other old laptops where cleaning did no good, so I'd be very disappointed if I went to all that trouble, for nothing [03:29] Quirkly: better than having ice pack under it [03:29] mkanyicy: so your analysis is that its dead or possibly revivable? [03:29] little icon [03:29] i got it [03:29] thanks [03:29] brb [03:29] not that big of an issue, when I am only on it for a few hours a day [03:29] can anyone make a suggestion on an ftp server with a GUI front end with many fetures?

The install went great, and it boots up fine, but when I log in every character of text is displayed as a box. I already tried re-installing, but that didn't fix it. In the LiveCD system, the text looks fine. Any ideas why it doesn't render right in an installed system?

[03:47] I am setting up a 5TB+ partititon with a gpt partition table. The drive is comprised of 4x2TB in RAID5. To boot from this drive, I must have 2 boot partitionsa: a Dell Utility Partition (94.1Mb), and a FAT32 partition (2.01Gb) at the beginning of the drive. 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 [03:47] 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?

[04:30] I have a dual boot, and I just updated my drive to a larger one to give more elbow room to Ubuntu. I can see the new space on a new ext3 partition. How do I move my 'file system' to the new partion? [04:30] Fauntix: Alternative Download Options. [04:30] http://releases.ubuntu.com/ Fauntix [04:30] SolarisBoy: ? :) , i found solution for my video card \o/ [04:30] ok i guess i am blind ill look again... my other question can the 9.1 ubuntu version support a tablet pc and its touch screen? [04:30] i'll try that thank you coz_ [04:30] (GParted doesn't seem to understand my partition table, but Palimpsest Disk Utility does...) I think it's just a matter of understanding mount points and such, but I'm a newbie to ubuntu. [04:31] Anybody, facing problem with X, well i can help you :) [04:31] i installed ubuntu on one partition, when I want to upgrade to a fresh install, i have to do a complete reinstall? [04:31] krysis, that was crdlb but your welcome :) [04:31] zamboli: no! [04:31] i can uprade through synaptic? [04:31] Bastid: the 64bit says its for a AMD64... or is the Intel x86 the 64-bit vers? [04:32] Fauntix: I can't say for sure as I do not have any experiences with that myself, but I believe that is doable (Check out Ubuntu MID Edition). [04:32] zamboli: Just insert te newest version cd into cdrom, i will brings up a pop-up window to update [04:32] Fauntix: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/mobile [04:32] Fauntix: that is for either 64 bit CPU [04:32] Fauntix: amd64 is the legacy name for any 64bit processors. [04:32] i see [04:32] maz3mike : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Udev [04:32] ok [04:32] thanks rumpsy [04:33] zamboli: or, you can also, give a try via apt-get, apt-get dist-upgrade [04:33] zamboli: :) [04:34] My file system is currently on /dev/sda5 mounted at '/', and I want it to point to /dev/sda8 ... where and how do I redefine the mount points? [04:34] well, when the time comes, i was just curious [04:34] now the MID edition is for the tablets? here is the laptop i am wanting to put it on S/N: 0036551491 (Gateway) [04:35] Fauntix: We want make/model -- Not serial numbers. :) [04:35] oh oops sorry coz_ lol about my requirements though, im trying to use the git, but im not quite sure how to.. [04:35] and no one is responding in intel-gfx [04:35] krysis, first give me that link again? [04:36] http://intellinuxgraphics.org/download.html [04:36] http://intellinuxgraphics.org/install.html [04:36] Model: CX200X and P/N: 1ta15097811 [04:36] krysis, open a terminal ... cd Desktop,,,,then paste git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel [04:36] into the terminal [04:36] ha-ha [04:37] krysis, I am assuming you have ubuntu 9.10 karmic correct? [04:37] krysis: you can't expect every channel to be as busy as #ubuntu [04:37] Fauntix: I imagine you would want to use regular amd64 desktop instead of MID. [04:37] well crdlb im just going to test out the driver, im not dissapointed or anything, might as well give it a try [04:37] yes coz_ [04:38] Kinja: this is not the 4gb ram one lol this one only has 1gb lol [04:38] krysis, ok that should work...I believe git-core is a default install so try it out and the file should download to the Desktop [04:38] Fauntix: That is fine. [04:39] coz_: git-core is not part of ubuntu-desktop metapackage. [04:39] yeah im just installing git-core, when i use the [04:39] git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel [04:39] it says that "no such file or directory" should there be a space between git and the rest in the command? [04:39] [04:39] Kinja: so use the 64bit or just the 32bit, since i have less ram?? [04:39] krysis: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:39] damn, shift-enter does it too.. [04:39] krysis, if that doesnt work then first do sudo apt-get install git-core [04:40] krysis: is there a way to let the terminal remember it's size? [04:40] coz_: that git link is weird, it wont recognize as the git command but tells me "bash: git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel: No such file or directory" [04:41] everytime i have to resize man [04:41] hi [04:41] Fauntix: If you're new to linux community, in theory, it would be *more* safe for you to use 32bit -- but in reality, there are no such thing like that. You should not factor 32bit or 64bit based on the size of your ram. [04:41] im not sure phong_ usually it stays the same size you close it at [04:41] krysis, let me try here... same error [04:41] hi [04:41] krysis, let me try here... same error [04:41] hi [04:41] oh [04:41] oh [04:41] hola alguien de venezuela [04:41] hola alguien de venezuela [04:41] krysis, try git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel [04:41] krysis, try git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel [04:42] yeah, im not sure if its formatted right [04:42] yeah, im not sure if its formatted right [04:42] zewb: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[04:42] krysis: again, is there a way i can make a command to just go to my Downloads regardless of where i'm? === marcio_ is now known as dreamcage [04:42] krysis, yeah instead use git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel [04:42] ok its working coz_ i'll tell you when its ready [04:42] krysis, yeah instead use git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel [04:42] Fauntix: If you don't know what it is for, then you can go with 32bit. The benefits of using amd64 is to take full advantage of your processor capacity (ie dvd encoding, audio encoding, heavy processing stuffs). [04:42] maybe a bash or something? [04:42] ok its working coz_ i'll tell you when its ready [04:42] or an alias [04:42] zewb: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[04:49] bullgard, mm I dont have tilda installed let me install and check....did you look in the preferences window? [04:49] anyone? [04:49] rahduke: I don't know the answer to that. Try and figure it out. I suppose. [04:49] hi guys... i just did an apt-get upgrade which installed the 2.6.31-18 kernel into 9.10 and my machine no longer gets past the initram fs... has anyone seem that problem? [04:49] crap [04:50] bullgard: try control-tab... that works most places for me. [04:51] phong_: #winehq [04:52] coz_: Yes, I did look in the preferences window. I did not find there a command for that. [04:52] ok [04:53] Does anyone know the command to add software sources in the terminal? [04:54] toastedmilk: open up /etc/apt/sources.list in an editor (sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list) [04:54] bullgard, mm I am not sure then let me play with this...you say you have it tabbed?

The hardest part is coming up with the repository URL (which you should have, since you want to add it): echo "deb http://url version component" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list [04:58] Fauntix: err -- can't help sorry...

[05:01] I just installed Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) on my laptop. The install went great, and it boots up fine, but when I log in every character of text is displayed as a box. I already tried re-installing, but that didn't fix it. In the LiveCD system, the text looks fine. Any ideas why it doesn't render right in an installed system? [05:01] @_niki_: or does the Live cover 64-bit [05:01] ryanakca, can you open a terminal and type/ [05:02] is there a shortcut key that will access the shutdown menu in the upper right hand corner? OR does anyone know a keyboard shortcut for shutting down the system? [05:02] alt-f1 [05:02] <_nik_> fauntix: the live-cd should be 32bit [05:02] wait [05:03] need harddrive help specifically with parted [05:03] Random832: alt-f1 does not work [05:03] anybody know the difference between a sector in gpt & a sector in a msdos partitian table? [05:03] no... i use alt-f1 because i've got only the one menu in the lower left corner with everything on it [05:03] I am setting up a 5TB+ partititon with a gpt partition table. The drive is comprised of 4x2TB in RAID5. To boot from this drive, I must have 2 boot partitionsa: a Dell Utility Partition (94.1Mb), and a FAT32 partition (2.01Gb) at the beginning of the drive. 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 [05:03] 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? [05:03] lacita: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:03] meme21, you could assign a command to a keybinding in gnome or compiz [05:03] the default panel setup isn't ideal for keyboard usage [05:03] flannel: Hm... so why "tee?" I thought this forks output to a file - isn't there some way you can just append it without tee? [05:03] meme21, ctrl+alt+delete should run the shutdown UI [05:03] hi [05:03] Would you recommend I create .bin packages, or the distribution specific packages (.deb, .rpm etc.)? [05:03] <_nik_> fauntix: otherwise you can download the image manually and choose it in the menu [05:04] coz_: thanks, that will work :) [05:04] @_nik_: so if i need the 64-bit i should use the 9.1 netinstall 64? [05:04] fieldse: tee - read from standard input and write to standard output and files [05:04] Any guru here who knows there stuff on LVM2? [05:04] their* [05:04] any LVM2 guru here? [05:04] elmo198: no gurus live here [05:04] lol [05:04] elmo198, if not here try the ##linux channel [05:04] what do we have here? [05:04] اه اه [05:05] hi [05:05] fieldse: You'll need to use sudo to write to it, so `echo "blah" >> /etc/apt/sources.list` won't work, and `sudo echo "blah" >> /etc/apt/sources.list` will sudo the echo, but the redirection won't be elevated. So you get around it by piping to tee, which you can sudo. [05:06] coz_: weird that the ctrl-alt-del shutdown dialog doesn't take focus [05:06] you could just sudo -s... [05:06] then echo... etc [05:06] Shihan: You could, but that would be silly. [05:06] <_nik_> fauntix: with netinstall, the packages would be downloaded at the installation [05:06] If I backup my Home folder from 32bit Linux, then install 64bit Linux, then copy my home folder back, will Home then be 64bit? [05:06] question: i saw alot of wine in the software ...which one should i choose? [05:06] hi [05:06] elmo198: here we have people that wait for a question to be asked before they know if they can answer it :p [05:07] what program do you guys use for AOL IM? do you use pidgin? [05:07] i saw alot of wine 1.1.37 in the list [05:07] flannel: cool! very informative explanation. [05:07] which is the correct to install? [05:07] shihan: What's your martial art? [05:07] help please [05:07] Samba Question: They way i have my samba sever set right now i can't access a sub directory. Anyone know what i need to change in my smb.conf?

[05:07] LinUx: it is not the folder itself that is 32 or 64 bit [05:07] meme21: I dont know how to ask the question, as I dont exactly know how to even say it right [05:07] LinUx: Sure -- Home is where all of your personal files (and configuration files) are usually kept. [05:07] hey guys [05:07] meme21: regarding shutdown shortcut - I don't know what shortcut is, but you can change settings for the shortcuts easily [05:08] phong_: That wiki page will walk you through getting wine set up (you don't have to worry about finding the right version, just install from the repositories) [05:08] phong_: Go with the latest. (NOT BETA) [05:08] meme21, mmm hold on [05:08] flannel, iti s in ubuntu synaptic package man [05:08] what program do you guys use for AOL IM? do you use pidgin? [05:08] just wondering about a replacement for the new software center in 9.10 [05:08] shihan: so what's w the name? [05:08] spO: pidgin for me. [05:08] its very basic any reccomendations? [05:08] spO: yep [05:08] ij just dont know what to choose since there are alot in the list [05:08] kinja-sheep, So backing up my home folder will be ok? [05:08] I have these 2 hdd which are mirrored in LVM2 that were from a NAS box, now I want to read one of the drive on me linux system to back it up [05:08] meme21, try this command dbus-send --dest=org.gnome.SessionManager /org/gnome/SessionManager org.gnome.SessionManager.Shutdown [05:08] dirtynerd: synaptic? [05:08] @_nik_: so for getting the 64-bit 9.1 would it easier to use the LiveUSB or download direct from the site? [05:08] fieldse, i did use to do martial arts, its just a long time ago... but the name actually comes from when i use to race motorbikes (what my team manager called me) [05:08] come on man [05:09] shihan: o_0 [05:09] LinUx: Yes. You want to exclude few paths (.gvfs/ ; Trash Path ; and few things). [05:09] should i install the dummy package? [05:09] phong_: "wine" is the package you want [05:09] which is the corrrect one [05:09] LinUx: Thumbnails too! [05:09] like the ubuntu software center used to have star rating and stuff [05:09] now its basic as [05:09] can i revert it back to the old 1 [05:10] coz_: it still doesn't take focus [05:10] <_nik_> fauntix: it depands on, what you prefer. the netinstall is a small image and downloads the aktual packages everytime you install ubuntu. [05:10] meme21, mmm not sure what the issue is then [05:11] coz_: okay, it takes focus for you does it? [05:11] @_nik_: which way is the fastest if say at the time of install i dont have internet [05:11] meme21, it does yes [05:11] flannel , i got unresolved depdency [05:11] dirtynerd: I think stars are cool! Use sypathetic if it is bothering you that much. [05:11] <_nik_> fauntix: on the other image the packages are included, but you have to download it manually [05:11] coz_: okay, thanks [05:11] guys I am tired so I am off to bed [05:11] meme21, it could be I am too tired to think clearly [05:11] Flannel, switch10: thanks! [05:11] it doesnt bother mne [05:11] i just wanna revert back [05:12] <_nik_> fauntix: if you don't have internet you can't use the netinstallation [05:12] ^r .. [05:13] dirtynerd: Find out what package it is -- and if it is different than software-center, then you could revert back. If it is same, just roll down the version numbers. Gotta find the name of that "package" [05:13] could anyone help me with an OpenSSH / Vino problem? [05:13] @_nik_: ok i understand now... last question... i have the old 8.04 (free 8.1 upgrade) disk that came with my 2008 ubuntu bible... can i install that and then upgrade to 9.1 or do i want a new disk with 9.1 [05:14] phong_: Please pastebin the output of `sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install wine` (pastebin is at paste.ubuntu.com, copy the output, paste it into the browser, hit "paste" and then give us the URL) [05:15] <_nik_> fauntix: no, you can just update from one version to the next [05:15] Fauntix: if you wanted to upgrade from 8.04 to 9.10, you'd need to do 8.04 -> 8.10 -> 9.04 -> 9.10, so getting a new disc would probably be a lot easier [05:15] Is there a shortcut key to force boot 9.10 without x server starting?

[05:18] phong_: Please pastebin the output of `sudo apt-get update` as well, thanks [05:18] dirtynerd: chmod [05:18] chmod will work on a disk? [05:19] dirtynerd: chmod and/or chown [05:19] ok [05:19] ill read my book about those things [05:19] tyvm [05:19] !help [05:19] 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. :-) [05:19] flannel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/367307/ [05:19] I've got 2 sata drives plugged in, booted off of sda. when I enter fdisk -l /dev/sdb it lists there being a partition sdb1, but if I enter ls /dev it doesn't show up. I can't mount the partition... anyone have any ideas? [05:20] so looks like i'm screwed here..hm..anyway to resize a partition with bad sectors then? [05:20] anyone get backburner sucessfully working in wine? [05:20] jguzikowski: is it a blank drive? [05:20] Is there a shortcut key to force boot 9.10 without x server starting?

[05:22] phong_: There's *zero* reason to ever compile wine. [05:22] ok i'll do sudo thing then [05:22] jguzikowski: you could install a dual boot setup and then run it.. you'll only need about 6gigs for the install.. probably less.. after that you can use windows to resize it's partition, reinstall again deleting the ubuntu partitions and recreating them in more appropriate sizes. [05:22] hold on [05:22] phong_: sudo apt-get install wine [05:22] krysis: but i want latest wine 1.1.37 [05:22] krysis: We're working on that (has errors), but thanks :) [05:23] for x64 [05:23] phong_: You want to add the winehq repository then [05:23] can i use wine to flash my laptop bios? [05:23] ah ic sorry :o [05:23] Blue11: try unplugging it then ls /dev/ then plug it back in, wait a sec, and run ls /dev again and see if theres a new device listed, usually like sda or sdb or hda or hdb maybe [05:23] phong_: Like I said, zero reason (even if you want a newer wine). Use the winehq repository [05:23] what do u meant repository [05:23] phong_: http://www.winehq.org/download/deb [05:23] scunizi: how would i install a dual boot setup? thats what ive been trying to do :P [05:24] yo, how do i permanently disable the gnome battery monitor thingy? [05:24] hey, is it possible to install windows 7 over ubuntu, or do I have to install 7 then reinstall ubuntu? [05:24] yes i did that [05:24] phong_: The wine people keep an updated version of wine available for you to use, so you don't have to go about compiling it.

Using...gparted? [05:25] krysis, scunizi: that 'side by side' never showed up..i think it may be because i have bad sectors [05:25] phong_: if the wine isn't in the repositories for ubuntu i would stick with the ubuntu version just for stability sake [05:25] jleeperry, yes, use gparted with a live cd in [05:25] arghh2d2: whoa that's a lot of output [05:25] what would be the best choice of filesystem for my sata HDD so I can have movies on both windows and ubuntu (Dualbooting) [05:25] jleeperry, you can't partition your hard drive while you use it [05:25] Because I've got winxp installed, but I can't get it to recognize any of my networking stuff.

[05:33] oh [05:33] toastedmilk: I bought a new USB keyboard and mouse yesterday and my ubuntu 9.10 is a fresh install [05:33] O__o: Yes, now you need to be registered.

I have no clue whats going on, it used to ahppen for short periods of time, but now it seems to stick around. I have yet to restart to see if that would just reset it, but i know that will not permanently fix the issue. any suggestions? [05:33] usually ubuntu gives u that option, it doesnt check for bad blocks [05:33] Flannel, why? this is gay [05:33] itsme1897, have you tried them in various usb ports?

[05:44] O__o: ask in #freenode [05:44] jguzikowski: see if it will let you do side by side after you shrink, if not you have to do it manually [05:44] scunizi, with it on mono? [05:44] jguzikowski: well you can create a usb startup and use that with saved settings, but otherwise the biggest advantage is using ubuntu as a native system [05:44] What is VPN client for IPSec/L2Tp type VPN for Ubuntu?

[06:24] bah, too early in the morning [06:24] mohhoh, thanks :) [06:24] nexus: doing mkfs on a harddrive is no problem, you can do it 10 times a day if you want to. [06:24] SwedeMike: Format as in install new os [06:24] hi [06:24] nexus: it's no different than writing any other data on the drive, do it as much as you want.

[06:26] mohhoh, the xp machine has no password set for the account, i remember reading that i need to add an account to the ubuntu box, but that requires a password [06:26] hyperstream: when you provide the corect info it should have a remember function [06:26] mohhoh, still prompts everytime ;/ [06:26] toastedmilk the actual system time, (NOT the clock). for instance, after entering a terminal, you can type date and you will get a nice time date stamp. i want the time date stamp to use 12 hour time.

[06:32] indus: its a geforce 210 [06:32] futurama140: You should know, wine is just a big hack geared heavily toward recent nvidia cards [06:32] mandi, download the md5sum checker [06:32] futurama140: i uneerstand your frustrations i have had them in the past [06:32] futurama140, so thats a nice card, which drivers aare you using [06:32] futurama140 this is not much of a solution, but one of the reasons why i am not running ubuntu is because it no longer supports my ati driver. my solution was to switch to pclinuxos2009 because it not only supports my hardware, it already comes with the nvidia and ati drivers from the manufacturer. only thing is, in order to be "backwards compatable" they basically had to stay one step behind on a few things. but i am runing a ati x1300 that woul [06:32] d never run on ubuntu 9.10. it's not an answer, but maybe a sloppy solution. [06:33] futurama140: slow down and breathe. first of all what moddle is your gcard [06:33] indus: im using the 195 beta drivers after attempting all the older ones as well as trying various "fixes" for the flicker on each driver [06:33] futurama140, what flicker [06:34] hylian: ive got an x1300 too, but it wouldnt work with WoW. [06:34] hylian, http://ccollins.wordpress.com/2009/01/06/how-to-change-date-formats-on-ubuntu/ [06:34] futurama140, just a note, the older ATI works with ubuntu 8.04 [06:34] hylian, there's a pre-written script [06:34] futurama140: modle make device [06:34] indus: when the clock speed on the card changes the screen flickers, and in games like wow, or FPS games, that flicker is enough to kill me. [06:34] tostedmilk thank you ill look into it [06:34] Hey does anyone know the terminal command/sources.list syntax for repository keys? [06:35] hylian, there's always the open-source radeon driver for x1300 [06:35] futurama140: have you tryed your old screencard [06:35] futurama140, how are you monitoring the clock speed? did you overclock? [06:35] hylian, i have x1900, and it's in the legacy list too [06:35] how to close a windows app [06:35] mandi: 1. get md5sum checking program for Windows for example what the bot link suggested 2. check ISO in it, 3. compare the code you get with the one your meant to have, if they are the same the ISO is fine, if not it's not, so download it again [06:35] or kill an app [06:35] toastedmilk, the open source driver wont run any of the quake 4 /doom3 or ET games [06:35] toastedmilk it is the largest waste of space on the planet earth. to say it barely works is giving it too much credit. [06:35] indus: im monitoring it through the nvidia app in the administration tab [06:35] futurama140: ok fine you are not wanting my help then as no response [06:35] hylian, true.

[06:36] futurama140: I've just spent a large amount of money on a new graphics card because ubuntu doesnt support 3d acceleration for legacy ATI car [06:37] mohhoh: me too/ [06:37] mohhoh, it does with the open source drivers [06:37] futurama140: that was your post not me [06:37] mohhoh: but my new card isnt working right either [06:37] mohhoh: yea [06:37] mandi: burning the ISO contents to CD slower can help. also their's a disk check on the CD, that will check if the psyical CD is ok or not, if it errors well then it's not, but that might be since a bit of dirt on the CD, so if the dirt is cleaned off the CD might pass [06:37] hylian: To be clear here, the problem is that AMD has dropped support in their proprietary driver. It's not Ubuntu's fault.

[06:38] indus, Not with my card :'( [06:38] mandi: might be a way to check the CD you have, instead of using ISO [06:38] toastedmilk, what card is that? [06:38] indus: the knows that alredy [06:38] Hi everybody, I have a very strange problem: md5sum returns different results for the same file. No changes were made in this file between two md5sum'ings; even more, those were one-by-one. Is this some bug of md5sum or some bug of myself? [06:38] indus, ATI Radeon X1900 XT [06:38] om26er, ok, lemme refrase that, in google CHROMIUM. same issue (it is all chromeum, not chrome) [06:39] hylian: well the new card i bought is nvidia, so i want to try and make that work [06:39] toastedmilk, aah switch to ubuntu 8.04 and enjoy quake [06:39] hi i have a new install i was setting it up and installed a few things. now when i boot comp i get to the login screen i click my uesrname adn pasword. then the boot sound comes up but i am still stuck pon the broen bootloader screen. and i cant get in. === yy_ is now known as Guest48338 [06:39] Santisnight, using beta or Dev or daily ? [06:39] indus, Hrm. I suppose I could make a partition and just do a fresh install of 8.04...do I have to get fglrx to use it? [06:39] om26er, not certain... [06:39] toastedmilk, yes ! [06:39] sebsebseb: reading the CDIntegrityCheck page now [06:39] toastedmilk, thats why 8.04 is called long term support [06:40] Santisnight, where did you install it from [06:40] indus, put didn't ATI stop supporting the Catalyst driver? [06:40] futurama140, good luck. just in case your curious though, pclinuxos runs those drivers instantly from live cd, so if that works, it atleast makes a good testing stone for what may or may not work. [06:40] Santisnight, and also audio works fine in firefox? [06:40] toastedmilk, ubuntu 8.04 comes with the older driver [06:40] indus: http://imagebin.org/82954 [06:40] toastedmilk, its not supported on newer kernels thats all [06:40] need help! [06:40] om26er, i think via terminal, don't remember ( however that is a fairly certain i think) [06:40] indus, i am going to do this now. Thank you so much!! [06:40] Who has experience with usbmount? [06:41] Maz3Mike, just ask your question. if someone can help they will [06:41] toastedmilk, yes good, you might have some problems starting quake, but check the forums for that, [06:41] k [06:41] om26er, havent used firefox, don't need / want to. uninstalled it too. :T [06:41] I know how manually mount usb drives...but... [06:41] om26er, i take that back i USED to use firefox* [06:41] my firefox does not like ubuntu :( and when i open gmail cpu usage reaches 100% [06:42] indus, willl do [06:42] to whomever says it's not ubuntu's fault for my old ati driver not functioning, i say yes it is. it's on ati's shoulders too, dont get me wrong, but canonical decided to change something so i cant use my old driver, and they dont give me an option to somehow go back to wen it did work under ubuntu, making it their fault too. it's 50/50. [06:42] I need to know how to use usbmount so that it automaticallys mounts my flash drive..wanting to go back and forth between linux and windows copying stuff onto the flashdrive [06:42] toastedmilk, you will get the installer from link i gave you [06:42] Santisnight, try this. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chromium-daily/ppa;sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get install chromium-browser [06:42] hylian, i agree but its ubuntu offtopic [06:42] indus, hey, does it work for x86_64?? [06:43] indus your right [06:43] toastedmilk, sure mine is too [06:43] toastedmilk, works flawless on nvidia [06:43] hylian, it's ati's fault, not ubuntu's [06:43] om26er, ok [06:43] hylian, ubuntu is a community effort. If there isn't enough support, people don't build it [06:43] toastedmilk, sorry. it's atleast 50% ubuntu's fault. [06:44] that is right too :) but the thing is, ubuntu folks reverse engineer all things like drivers etc, but dont want to do that for the graphics cards [06:44] indus, yeah, yeah, i know. my card is old [06:44] what is display manager for gnustep? [06:44] hylian, you can't blame ubuntu for not supporting your card. [06:44] hylian, it doesn't work that way [06:44] indus: did that link work? [06:44] but i digress, this is not a place for debates on that subject. it's for helping people with ubuntu tech problems, so no more from me [06:45] How could it be that two md5sums of the same file differ? I md5sum'ed my file once, and then did it again immidiately. But these two operations returned two different results. [06:45] futurama140, no [06:45] hylian, yeah i'll zip it as well [06:45] xdm? [06:45] om26er, done [06:45] Santisnight, I guess close chromium and start it again. [06:46] toastedmilk thanx for explaining it, but ubuntu's not helping me has forced me into another distro that does help me, 'nough said. hmm. [06:46] hylian, how come pclinux works with older ATI? [06:46] you know, i had a problem with a "double installed" nvidia driver. my solution was to use synaptic to remove all erm, whatever fglrx is for nvidia and then reinstall the drivers. [06:46] indus, hylian: Take it to #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks. [06:47] indus: http://imagebin.org/82954 [06:47] Flannel, hello [06:47] om26er, uhh, now its silent [06:47] I have a NAS that thinks its / is full, but du does not show that at all. http://pastebin.com/m64d12f5e [06:47] cool [06:47] hey guys.... do you happen to know how to fix USB slow transfers in Ubuntu 9.10? [06:47] indus they bundle all those old drivers with their distro. im not certain what they did to get it to work, but it does, good question. [06:47] futurama140, wow, a very low idle [06:48] LDC, format it to btrfs.. (kidding) [06:48] futurama140, these are new cards, i think maybe patience till a fix comes, i havent seen the clock go so low on older cards [06:48] serioulsly though, cuold that be the problem? i have had 2 ati drivers fight each other, one older than the other, and then i uninsatlled both, rebooted and installed the newer, and all my problems went away.. (ubuntu 8.04 i think) [06:48] hey indus Ubuntu from the error 15 problem here :D [06:49] indus: i have tried all the fixes on http://www.ubuntusolutions.org/2009/02/screen-flickering-with-nvidia-on-ubuntu.html [06:49] O me miserabilis, valete, amici. [06:49] LDC, who? [06:49] om26er, i do not have sound on it now. [06:49] LDC, india? [06:49] indus: The only way to have the older cards working with proprietary drivers is to use older drivers, and they don't work with new versions of X or the kernel. [06:49] hahaaha yes [06:49] i had to do a complete new reinstall... and this time i didn't put in any swap since my RAM is 2GB. had a / partition and a /home partition and dind't skip anything in the end. [06:50] * om26er is muted [06:50] and now i want to know how ot fix slow USB transfers, everyone on the internet seems to be having that [06:50] futurama140, i may be way off base here, but is there a chance your refresh rate is set to one that doesnt agree with your monitor? (couls this be monitor based?) [06:50] futurama140, is compiz enabled? did you check with disabling it? there are many many things which could be tried.Monitor is at correct refresh rate? [06:50] <`rett> In case anyone's interested, I've released an open source project at www.ipnode.org that uses AuFS and SquashFS to build a modular root with module category prioritization, e.g. "config package system" which causes config related modules to get a higher priority in the union than package and system modules. Using a "parent" server, the nodes check for updates, dowloads/verifies the checksum and hot adds modules to the running system. It supports copy to ram an [06:50] `rett: Please don't advertise here, thanks. [06:50] LDC, i hope you have a swap [06:50] ... [06:50] <`rett> Darn buffer.. [06:51] <`rett> So far it works for remote nodes with local storage and PXE with NFS root. [06:51] wgrant, i hear people made it work on 9.04 [06:51] i was reading the tutorial of 'psychocats' [06:51] he suggested 2GB ram is enough to skip a SWAP partition [06:51] <`rett> The reason I'm posting here is I developed and tested with Ubuntu and livecd-helper. :) [06:51] LDC, thats nonsense as far as i know [06:51] om26er, what now? [06:51] Santisnight, play anything in youtube and then right click on the volume icon in the top panel. click sound preferences and go to applications tab and if chromium is there [06:51] hylian: i forget exactly but i believe my monitor refresh rate is permenantly stuck at 50hz [06:51] um........what can i say? :D [06:51] indus: i do not have compiz. [06:52] LDC, indus: It very much depends on what you run. [06:52] `rett, ubuntu off topic is good for this [06:52] gnome-panel randomly crashes.. how can i fix this??? [06:52] `rett, also, hosted on sourceforge? [06:52] but i am sure that is not the reason why my USB transfers are slow... MANY else seems to be having that [06:52] `rett: This channel is for support only, not advertisement. Thanks for understanding. [06:52] <`rett> Sorry, it's been 10+ years since I've been in IRC. lol [06:52] <`rett> thx [06:52] om26er, it is. [06:52] wgrant, why is it that whatever we have heard and done till now is being negated [06:52] ldc it is, but linux is written to work with a swap partition, and seems to run less buggy with one. my friend has a 8 gigz, and still gets better functionality with a 512 meg swap. (i have absolutely no idea why) [06:52] without swap system doesnt shutdown or sleep or hibernate properly [06:52] indus: Pardon? [06:53] `rett: Since the previous suggestion was a bit confusing, #ubuntu-offtopic (/join #ubuntu-offtopic) would be an appropriate place to discuss/etc [06:53] wgrant, iam talking about swap here [06:53] indus: Of those three, only hibernate is affected. [06:53] Only hibernation uses swap. [06:53] that is the thing... i don't use hibernate *i think? * [06:53] LDC, the official docs say swap is needed [06:53] indus thanx man, i was always confused why linux works better with swap, hmm [06:53] my friends.... but i am sure eveyrnoe else who had USB problems used SWAP [06:54] wgrant, maybe i should edit the ubuntu doc then for this swap thing [06:54] speed is at 600 - 700 kbps .... [06:54] om26er, OK NOW I HAVE NO SOUND PERIOD. [06:54] WTF. [06:54] i too never use it, but swap i believe is needed in some situations [06:54] which is ofcourse similar to the problem others on the internet are facing about slow USB transfers [06:54] ldc technically swap isnt neccessary, but i would do it. i usually give about 3% [06:54] ya ubuntu has slow usb transfre really [06:55] indus: would remote control desktop be an option to allow someone to help me? [06:55] futurama140, hmm yes [06:55] what no video chat in gmail in ubuntu?! [06:55] wevlop, gmail in linux you mean [06:55] exactly.... ubuntu has slow transfers and a thousan people suggest a thousand solutions.. i have tried two i think :D still no change [06:55] indus: On my machines the transfer speed is fine. Do not generalise. [06:55] indus, yes. life is unfair :( [06:55] wevlop, empathy support video calling and I do video call [06:56] indus: do you have any suggestions of how to eliminate the flicker besides http://www.ubuntusolutions.org/2009/02/screen-flickering-with-nvidia-on-ubuntu.html [06:56] not to mention ubutnu sound quality seems very 'muffled' compared to the glory of Windows XP.... but is this only with Ubuntu or the geeks can get better things done in linux? [06:56] om26er, solution? please? [06:56] om26er, with a gmail/google apps account? thats great news [06:56] futurama140, that 50hz consistent doesnt sound right, any chance you could run to a diiferent monitor? usually you have several choices for refresh rate. if you could borrow a monitor, atleast if you say the flicker you could rule out the monitor. always a good thing to be able to rule something out [06:56] on myside it supports, 1.3mbps, usb file transfer :) [06:56] BRB [06:56] om26er, i can use that [06:56] wgrant, yes your machine diff, but i have 15 machines in work and they all have this issue and i quote from popular ubuntu forum threads btw [06:56] hi i have a new install i was setting it up and installed a few things. now when i boot comp i get to the login screen i click my uesrname adn pasword. then the boot sound comes up but i am still stuck pon the brown bootloader screen. and i cant get in. [06:56] its more than enough for me :) [06:56] so yes i speak for the general population [06:56] ^ can anyone help me i needto get in [06:57] nvm [06:57] mohoh are you runing this on a virtual box? [06:58] futurama140, that talks about flciker with compiz [06:58] Santisnight, now I can only say try google chrome? http://www.google.com/chrome/eula.html?platform=linux_ubuntu_i386 [06:58] I have a NAS that thinks its / is full, but du does not show that at all. Any ideas? http://pastebin.com/m64d12f5e [06:58] om26er, ... >_> no. [06:58] so there's not solution for slow USB and weak sound i suppose? [06:58] im TIRED of browser jumping. [06:59] I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I can't find either grub.conf or menu.lst... shouldn't one of these be either in /boot or /boot/grub? [06:59] futurama140, i wouldnt do what is suggested in that post really [06:59] yeason, changed wit hgrub 2 [06:59] !grub2 > yeason [06:59] yeason, please see my private message [07:00] does anyone here know where firefox looks for the flash .so file? I have adobe's flash 10, but I need to know where firefox looks at it [07:00] futurama140, which theme is that ? dust? [07:00] GSF1200S, /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins is one [07:00] GSF1200S, 64 bit? [07:00] hylian: can you walk me through how to change my refresh rate? [07:01] GSF1200S: Why not use the package? [07:01] indus: yes, 64bit and I have the 64bit plugin [07:01] indus: its a customized dust i believe. [07:01] actually in that depends on whether your gonna do it in ubuntu or if you can do it through hardware.. [07:01] because the package manager uses nspluginwrapper, and yes im on 9.10 [07:02] GSF1200S, ok move it to hidden folder .mozilla/plugins or create the plugins folder [07:02] my gnome-panel always crashes...how to fix?? [07:02] futurama140, but mostly if through ubuntu, right clicking on the desktop should give you the options, next to the screen sixe (124x768 for instance) should be a 50hz, for instance, that shoud be your refrsh rate, try and change it [07:03] my keyboarding really gets sloppy when i try to type. 1024x768, for instance. [07:03] GSF1200S, but dont forget to remove the older flash completely [07:03] hylian: theres no option for resolution or refresh or anything [07:03] GSF1200S, is that your bike name? [07:04] futurama140, change it through the nvidia settings panel [07:04] indus: yes it is.. love it [07:04] GSF1200S, :) [07:04] when you right click on the desktop and choose properties? hmm. well the other option should be under system , and then nvidia's linux control center. it should be changeable there as well [07:04] a suzuki? [07:05] indus: indeed [07:05] indus: it says it failed to parse existing xorg.conf when i try to save the setting [07:05] futurama140, yes use sudo nvidia-settings from terminal [07:05] futurama140, all xorg changes need sudo permissions [07:05] brb [07:06] futurama140, actually thanx to your screenshot, it's right there "x server display configuration" [07:06] futurama140@futurama140-desktop:~$ sudo nvidia-settings [sudo] password for futurama140: ERROR: Error parsing configuration file '/home/futurama140/.nvidia-settings-rc' on line 55: '0/GPU2DClockFreqs=589,400 0/GPU3DClockFreqs=589,400' (Trailing garbage). PARSE ERROR: Parse error on line 60 of section Module in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf. "Disable" is not a valid keyword in this section. Segmentation fault futu [07:06] indus: thank you.. works perfectly :) [07:06] hylian: yea i found it, but i got the message above^^ [07:06] indus do you have to gksu that? [07:07] guys... how do you feel your sound quality is on ubuntu 9.10? [07:07] Hi. I installed Docky using this guide (http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2009/12/20/how-to-install-docky-in-ubuntu-9-10/) via terminal. How can i remove it now. It seems to have stuffed up and I can't remove it via Ubuntu Software Centre [07:07] futurama140, sorry man. i wuold love to help you more, but i have a client at 9:30 am, and it's 1:04 am already, time for me to hit the hay. God I love (hate) IT. [07:07] hi i have a new install i was setting it up and installed a few things. now when i boot comp i get to the login screen i click my uesrname adn pasword. then the boot sound comes up but i am still stuck pon the broen bootloader screen. and i cant get in. [07:08] hylian: thanks anyway [07:08] hylian, aah yes gksu thanks [07:08] futurama140, sorry man i really didnt help. my last suggestion is if you can swap monitors with someone for a hour if just to rule out the monitor as one of the problems. [07:09] kdesu! good bye [07:10] hi i have a new install i was setting it up and installed a few things. now when i boot comp i get to the login screen i click my uesrname adn pasword. then the boot sound comes up but i am still stuck pon the broen bootloader screen. and i cant get in. [07:10] hello [07:11] never mind. Figured it out. Hopefully this is the cause of my program [07:11] *problem [07:13] How can I navigate between several tabs in Tilda using the keyboard? [07:14] mohhoh: why don't you try ubuntu forums? [07:15] indus: i have my refresh rate set at 60hz now and im still getting the screen flash. [07:20] it pretty unsafe to allow any client ip address across the wan connect to a vpn pptp server? [07:22] <\0xff> noite [07:23] e75: It depends, limiting what IPs are allowed to talk to your sever is one more layer of security. [07:24] question, I installed ubuntu using wubi, how do I increase the root size [07:24] partition [07:24] hey i moved a theme to /usr/share/themes but it still wont show up in the themes list an ideas why? [07:25] gimpy530, yeah i gotcha on that. then though suppose i am somewhere and want to vpn home, then i have to enable sshd to the wan to allow the address [07:25] jguzikowski, try check in customize > window border etc [07:25] i should say i'm in xubuntu not ubuntu [07:26] where is the "program files" type directory in ubuntu? i've installed a program and don't see it in my applications menu [07:26] is there a wa [07:26] y i can hack ubuntu server [07:26] charles__, installed programs are not kept in a central location [07:26] charles__, no such thing here really [07:26] hmmm [07:27] can anybody help [07:27] charles__, goes to various locations , executable will probably be in /usr/bin or something [07:27] kinda makes tracking things down a pain in the ass, i would imagine [07:27] charles__, you can however work out where the files are that a program relies on a re located with the locate command [07:27] charles__, just type the name in terminal [07:27] charles__: why would it? [07:27] kingsofleon1820: help you to hack into a ubuntu server? no? [07:27] i need to install ubuntu on 64 mb ram machine [07:27] charles__, or you can use apt-file... or the dpkg tools [07:27] ah, hack in that sense of the word... [07:28] I have a NAS that thinks its / is full, but du does not show that at all. http://pastebin.com/m64d12f5e [07:28] what does apt-file do? man isn't bringing anything up [07:28] hack as in just for fun [07:28] charles__, i think you need to install it first [07:28] ah [07:28] charles__: It searches [all the packages] for files in packages [07:28] !info apt-file | charles__ [07:28] charles__: If you search up the package in synaptic, you can see the list of files it installed in the properties for that package. From the terminal, you can use «dpkg -L packagename» [07:28] charles__: apt-file (source: apt-file): search for files within Debian packages (command-line interface). In component universe, is optional. Version 2.2.2 (karmic), package size 25 kB, installed size 172 kB [07:28] kingsofleon1820: you can try with minimal, but I wouldn't be too hopeful [07:29] !minimal | kingsofleon1820 [07:29] kingsofleon1820: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [07:29] Flannel, good to see you :) [07:29] Howdy chalcedony [07:29] :) [07:29] here's the thing, i added a few locations to software sources, installed an aplication, and it doesn't show up in my aplications menu [07:29] which wm should i use [07:29] charles__, try using dpkg -L packagename << -L not -l [07:29] kingsofleon1820: depends on your personal preferance. [07:30] which are the right choices for 64 mb ram [07:30] charles__, also take note that the terminal has a nifty tab completion feature on a fair number of aspects [07:30] kingsofleon1820, try damnsmalllinux [07:30] !puppy [07:30] woops [07:30] charles__: «grep 'status installed' /var/log/dpkg.log | tail» will give you the package names (of recently installed packages) [07:31] I installed ubuntu using wubi, how do I increase the root partition size? [07:31] gimpy530: you do realise that your df -h does say that / is full, right? [07:31] yea, but I can;t find WHERE that space is used [07:31] Chr|s: with great difficulty, or not at all [07:31] okay, i see it with that "dpkg command, and i can still call ti up in synaptic anyway, so i'm sure it's there... [07:31] so its best to download the iso and install it alongside windows? === goose[ME] is now known as goose [07:32] !telnet [07:32] telnet is not safe. Please use ssh instead. See !ssh [07:32] i just don't knwo how to access it, which is odd... that's why i was asking for some sort of "program files" directory, so i could just go make a shortcut to the file ro something [07:32] umm if i can only have telnet access, how do i do it? [07:32] I cannot for the life of me get the nvidia 185 restricted driver to work on 9.10 with my 9800GTX+. Only 173 works. 185 worked for me on 8.10. Checked xorg, jockey and tried installing 185 and 190 from the pkg files directly from nvidia. Also tried dpkg-reconfigure with the source pkg and nvidia-xconfig. Nothing works and nothing on any of the forums works. Any ideas? [07:32] incidentally, the program is deng.. it's the linux doomsday engine [07:32] Chr|s: yes, most people consider wubi a kind of a demo for checking that everything works. [07:32] Chr|s: not for prolonged use [07:33] wubi? [07:33] paraj, the 173 is actually a great driver [07:33] Myrtti alright, thanks :) [07:33] sorry.. different person :D [07:33] paraj, why are you trying newer ? [07:33] indus: Problem is the gnome behaviour on 9.10 doesn't seem to be the same as 185 on 8.10 (eg: panel width doesn't respect monitor size) [07:34] charles__: It's probably a CLI application. Typically only GUI applications show in in the menus. === CocoPuff is now known as Omar87 [07:35] CLI = command line interface, right? [07:35] charles__: right [07:35] so i'd just type the name of the application, i woudl imagine? [07:36] hmm... not doing anything [07:36] charles__: depends on what you want to do [07:36] charles__: Possibly, but it depends whether it contains one or many programs. The documentation for the program should tell you [07:36] i want to play Doom :D [07:36] yo, anyone here using pidgin from the getdeb repos? [07:37] I have an NTFS drive that I want to convert to ext4, but I am not sure of the command. I think it should be something like "mkfs -c -t ext4 /dev/sdbX" as it is not the primary drive. I am not sure how to also give the drive a label as "data: Can some give me a hand? [07:38] indus: are you still around? [07:38] can someone tell me the terminal command to configure wine?

[07:47] Umm. let me look [07:48] futurama140: What does it say is not owned by you? [07:48] charles__: Ah, then it's doomsday with lower-case on linux.

[07:53] futurama140: reinstall them, and do NOT run things as root [07:53] futurama140, yes you should have been careful [07:54] futurama140, all games go in the .wine folder [07:54] mneptok: ok, sorry i thought i had to [07:54] indus: yea im still new to this obviously, its hard to figure out exactly how to make everything work [07:55] indus: can i install a win98 game in wine from the mounted ISO? [07:56] ok, another question, i have a USB monitor adapter, the monitor is plugged in, but how do i configure it to display? [07:56] geirha: thank you [07:57] i tooka breath, read through the man file a bit adn worked it out [07:57] futurama140, yes i think [07:58] Grr, nvidia drivers worked fine in 8.10 I don't understand why I'm having so many problems with 9.10 [07:58] hello i have got problem with vdr [07:58] glick: It should be symlinked to your www dir [07:58] futurama140, you have to mount the iso [07:59] indus: yes, i have, im actually installing fable right now, so ill attempt the win98 game later, fallout should be interesting though [07:59] indus: i do have that question about the USB/monitor adapter, do you know how i can make it work? [07:59] charles__: Great :) [08:00] geirha: of course, some sort of GUI frontend for choosing the various settings woudl be nice [08:01] glick: see http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-591952.html [08:01] after installing libpango1.0.... package, am getting trouble in GUI..after resarting the system the login page contious to blink...

The only way I can access my "Home Folder" stuff is to go through the file system. Please help! [08:04] hey all [08:04] Rishab_: Why did you install it, and where did you get it?

[08:10] hello #ubuntu im using the deb package from google of their chrome browser and my question is it better to use of of the PPAs offered by ubuntu and why and which one is best for a normal user i.e. im not developing code [08:13] Got it working with nvidia 173 but the performance is poor :/ [08:14] spinlock, if you add the PPA you will get updates whenever the PPA owner builds a new version of chrome [08:15] spinlock, if the PPA is owned by google itself, then you probably should be better off installing the ppa [08:15] which ppa do you suggest for a normal user? [08:15] Hi, how is bug #512615 going to be addressed? [08:15] Daily builds, beta channel or dev channel [08:15] The PPA contains Chromium (the open source version of Chrome), and is not maintained by Google but a trusted community member. [08:15] yeah i got that much [08:15] sorry, wrong channel [08:17] i think this one makes the most sense https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/beta [08:17] hey can someone help me set up a program in wine from an ISO? its not working right! [08:18] anyone? [08:20] I am in panic mode. Suddenly everything on my desktop has vanished without a trace. Nothing is in the trash, and I didn't delete anything. === Urda_ is now known as Urda [08:20] sprung: alt+f2, run nautilus [08:20] I rebooted to see if it would somehow go away [08:21] Spasysheep, ok, i did, nothing is in my /home/me/Desktop folder. [08:21] absolutely nothing. [08:21] sprung: ok, different problem to what i thought, i have no idea [08:21] can someone help me set up a program in wine from an ISO? its not working right! [08:21] hi guys when copying some files from local to usb drive I get permission denied error , can someone help me solve it ? [08:22] Yo yo yo [08:22] I just lost everything on my desktop! [08:22] GONE! [08:22] and i didn't do a thing [08:22] Anarchy7: is it some or all? [08:22] Sprung: run nautilus [08:22] actionparsnip some [08:22] sprung, did you have _documents_ on your desktop? [08:22] actionparsnip, i just did that [08:22] <sprung> Spasysheep, ok, i did, nothing is in my /home/me/Desktop folder. [08:22] <sprung> absolutely nothing. [08:23] Anarchy7: then chown them to your username [08:23] sayanriju, I had a couple of things. [08:23] Sprung: press alt+f2 type: nautilus [08:23] I also had some folders with movies in them [08:23] actionparsnip, I already did that [08:23] nautilus is open [08:23] can someone help me set up a program in wine from an ISO? its not working right! [08:23] is there anything you want me to do here actionparsnip? [08:23] sprung, do you see the standard icons on desktop? [08:23] how would one go about outputting the av input from /dev/video0 and /dev/audio2 to screen / speakers without lag? [08:23] I see NOTHING on my desktop. [08:24] actionparsnip : I opened my vista with a ubuntu live cd , I am so noob and dont have a username [08:24] Sprung: is the data in the Desktop folder? [08:24] actionparsnip, There is now nothing on my Desktop folder. [08:24] actionparsnip, There were numerous files there and directories. [08:24] also Show Hidden Files is checked. [08:24] Anarchy7: you must have a username. Its what you login as. Even if you use autologin, you have a username [08:25] sprung, ru the command in terminal : ls ~/Desktop [08:25] actionparsnip how can i see my username and after finding it how can I chown the files ? [08:25] Anarchy7: if you run whoami in a terminal it will tell you. You can make the files yours whith sudo chown $USER [08:26] sayanriju, actionparsnip It will save you all time to let you know I have a basic functional knowledge of the command line and linux, and have already done an ls -la ~/Desktop [08:26] I'm trying to figure out what's causing the difference in input handling for different terminals [08:26] ok I will open the 2nd computer with ubuntu now and be back soon [08:26] details here: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/ubuntu-help/159432-xterm-vs-gnome-terminal.html#post757799 [08:26] Sprung: try using search tools to find the data. If not then i'd go for a file restore from your backups [08:26] actionparsnip, so in other words I'm screwed and I don't know why. [08:26] and nobody knows why [08:26] sprung: seems so [08:26] * sprung thumbs up linux rocks! [08:27] basically xterm works fine it seems, but urxvt and gnome-terminal doesn't, and I have no explanation on why that is... [08:27] sprung, linux doesn't destroy your files, unless you tell it to do so explicitly [08:27] Sprung: read system logs to diagnose. I haven't seen your activities to be able to comment [08:27] when i try to run an install file from an ISO it says the file or folder doesnt exist, can somoene PLEASE help? [08:27] sayanriju, I thought that until tonight [08:27] Futurama140: is the iso mounted? [08:28] i did absolutely NOTHING to cause this. [08:28] I watched a movie. [08:28] actionparsnip: yes it is [08:28] that's it. [08:28] the movie, by the way, was on the desktop, and now it's gone since i rebooted. [08:28] along with everything else [08:28] sprung, I agree with actionparsnip that I haven't seen your activities to be able to comment [08:28] Sprung: restore from backup or try foremost to restore if the bits are still on the drive (data resstore is far easier) [08:29] Futurama140: is it a commercial disk? [08:29] actionparsnip, you know as well as I do that i didn't back up my data. [08:29] Sprung: I assume nothing [08:29] i don't know why you'd even ask except to shame me [08:29] Sprung: no backup == data is disposable [08:29] sprung, can you write new files on the desktop _now_? [08:29] yep, that's what you're doing [08:30] actionparsnip: no it isnt. i had it installed just fine the other day, but i screwed up wine, and so it got reset earlier tonight, and now that im trying to re-install it wont work. [08:30] actionparsnip: should i try mounting the iso to the /mnt folder? [08:30] sprung: just to make sure the files aren't somewhere else.. do you know the filename of one of the files? [08:30] Sprung: you have learned the hardest way the importance of backup. What if the drive failed and you were running windows. The OS isn't to blame, where is your data? [08:31] yes i can create a new file in the directory [08:31] Futurama140: you can mount anywhere just not in /proc [08:31] actionparsnip, Yep, you're shaming me [08:31] actionparsnip, Would you mind not doing that? [08:31] actionparsnip, Thanks, because you are doing the opposite of helping. [08:31] Sprung: no, I'm showing you why backup is important and how it can be OS independant [08:32] actionparsnip, no, if I had done the best practice this wouldn't have happened, however you are not helping. [08:32] I just spent over an hour trying to get empathy to IRC, just over a half hour to get Pidgin to IRC, and less than a full minute to get here finally using XChat.... [08:32] hello guise. [08:32] actionparsnip, Now that we have established you are not helping please stop not helping me. [08:32] Permissions 0777 for '/home/bugo/.ssh/id_rsa' are too open. [08:32] actionparsnip: i just thought of something, what is the command in terminal to set the file to enable it as an executable? [08:32] Sprung: try foremost to raw read the drive. Hopefully the data will not be overwritten and will be recoverable [08:33] how can i track who adn when opened those permissions [08:33] ? [08:33] sugarbear: empathy is not a mature client yet IMO. [08:33] Futurama140: chmod +x [08:33] actionparsnip: thanks [08:33] !attitude | sprung [08:33] sprung: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [08:33] Futurama140: I am not sure you can do it to iso stuffs but its free to try [08:33] * EastDallas uses Pidgin exclusively for IRC and loves it....You just need the right plugins. [08:34] actionparsnip: yea, anything is worth trying i suppose [08:34] futurama140: He is experiencing the effects of lost data for maybe first time. [08:34] Eastdallas: +1 [08:34] futurama140, I've lost data for an unknown reason, and while yes i do fully and completely understand that I should have backed up my data, and have already acknowledged that I know that, actionparsnip presists. [08:34] sprung, lets move on [08:34] futurama140, now, I'm trying to get something other than "well you should have backed up your data" [08:35] like why this happened [08:35] kinja-sheep: yea, but general open rage is a lot friendlier than directed at someone. [08:35] hi. i am using openbox but i cant see any thing on the screen [08:35] Sprung: I also gave some suggestions on what you could try [08:35] or maybe how i could prevent it happening [08:35] only the right click menu works [08:35] or the root cause [08:35] actionparsnip, okay [08:35] sprung: there are companies you can send your hard drive to for a fee that will recover any deleted data with giant machines. [08:35] Sprung: read as many system logs as you can find [08:36] this is not extremely important data but it took a long time to download [08:36] sprung: The machine crashed? [08:36] no, it didn't crash per se [08:36] Sprung: also test the drive with the manufacturers tool. The ultimate boot cd has the main companies test suites on [08:36] all of a sudden the files were not there. [08:37] Sprung: a reboot may help [08:37] actionparsnip: when i doubleclick on the setup.exe, nothing happens, and when i type "wine [file path]", it says it doesnt exist. [08:37] a reboot didn't help, it actually made it worse [08:37] i was watching a movie that was on the desktop, and that vanished too [08:37] Futuram140: use tab to complete the names of folders and files [08:38] hi. i am using openbox but i cant see any thing on the screen [08:38] only the right click menu works [08:38] Futuram140: check the appdb for help too [08:38] futurama140, you should use #winehq [08:38] they're the experts on wine [08:38] !appdb [08:38] The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [08:40] my messages cant send to #winehq [08:40] Just installed ubuntu, what do I do from here? - http://i45.tinypic.com/118d0m1.jpg [08:41] ok i'm trying to use foremost, how would I do that on my home dir, which is encrypted? [08:41] Linux-cli: doesn't look good. Did you md5 test the iso you installed with? [08:42] The ISO is fine [08:42] Sprung: not sure. Not something I use [08:42] That's what appears after it's installed [08:42] how to I foremost this? /home/spree/.Private on /home/spree type ecryptfs (ecryptfs_sig=ee65b9e31f83f919,ecryptfs_fnek_sig=869e51261177dd2c,ecryptfs_cipher=aes,ecryptfs_key_bytes=16) [08:42] actionparsnip: "cannot send to channel: #winehq" anytime i send a message === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz [08:43] Linux-cli: then check your vmware settings. Are there known issues with your version of vmware and the release of ubuntu? [08:43] actionparsnip: looks like 904 [08:43] sprung: I think ecryptfs is the main reason :( [08:43] is it possible to request a package update to a 32-bits compat lib without filing a bug? openal-soft 1.8 is in 32-bits compat, but 64-bits has 1.11 [08:43] Futurama140: maybe you need to register to get on there [08:43] !away > JimmyJ|zz [08:43] JimmyJ|zz, please see my private message [08:44] actionparsnip: i am registered, but when i come here it never asks for a password. [08:44] Futurama140: you need to identify then. You don't get asked for a password [08:44] !identify [08:44] You can identify automatically by using your NickServ password as the server password in your IRC client. When identifying manually, do NOT send the command from a channel's tab, or a typo may give away your password. If that happened, type « /msg NickServ set password » in the server tab as soon as possible. [08:44] futurama140: if your nickname doesn't have the enforce on, then most likely you aren't asked for a password [08:44] futurama140: We don't always have +R modes on. [08:45] * sprung is mad [08:46] linux isn't supposed to do this [08:46] ok, so how do i put in my password? [08:46] Yeah, 9.04 [08:47] how do i stream webcam input to my screen? [08:47] Spasysheep: try xwinwrap [08:47] Spasysheep: I don't have time to write a whole thesis [08:49] Spasysheep: I'm not sure if it's available in the repos.. but it's pretty straight forward.. there are lots of howto's available if you google for something like "ubuntu xwinwrap" [08:49] slart: does it include sound support? [08:49] Spasysheep: I'm not really sure.. I've never tried using sound with it [08:49] k [08:50] i have usb mobile Huawei E1752, usb_modswitch is installed but can't connect to internet, however the output say is everything OK her is http://dpaste.com/153599/plain/ any idea what i have to do? [08:50] is it possible to give someone outside my network access to my SMB shares? or if thats not possible is there some way to share my videos and stuff outside my network for streaming? [08:51] slart: xwinwrap looks like something to do with desktop backgrounds / screensavers... [08:52] Spasysheep: yes.. you didn't want it as a background? [08:52] is it possible to give someone outside my network access to my SMB shares? or if thats not possible is there some way to share my videos and stuff outside my network for streaming? [08:52] Spasysheep: oh.. if you just want to watch the output from the webcam you can use vlc or cheese [08:53] slart: no, im trying to ceiw an AV input in real time - the closest ive got so far is an mplayer command, but that has a second or two lag [08:53] rahduke: you would have to set up a vitrual network [08:53] Slart: cheese doesn't have support for sound when watching in realtime, and vlc i just get a 'can't open device' error [08:54] Acidpick: would the streaming video work ok? I upload at about 1.5mbps [08:54] rahduke: should be fine for non-hd [08:54] Acidpick: do you mean a VPN network? [08:54] rahduke: yes [08:55] Acidpick: you wouldnt happen to know the easiest and fastest way to set that up, and whether the client computer can add the shares to XBMC? [08:55] rahduke: SMB doesn't transverse, and security is shit anyhow so you wouldn't want to even have it possibly visible [08:55] Spasysheep: it might be different for different webcams.. but my webcam audio shows up as a normal sound source in pulseaudio [08:55] slart: this shows up as a separate device [08:56] rahduke: check out OpenVPN and sorry no. [08:56] Acidpick: thanks! [08:57] rahduke: good luck. [08:59] well i gtg [09:02] hi [09:03] ubuntu grub doesnt show the other linux distro's recovery mode - what can i do? [09:03] fariadantes: the other distros don't have a recovery mode [09:03] fariadantes: you need to edit the boot menu to add the word "single" to the boot line of the other distros to boot them into single user mode [09:03] i see [09:04] thank you ikonia === ae86-drifter_ is now known as ae86-drifter [09:05] Hi everyone. I've got an ftp question. Is there anyone in here familiar with FileApp? [09:05] jleeperry: just ask your real question [09:05] How do I ftp files to an address? gftp wouldn't let me. [09:05] Yeah yeah, I am. [09:06] I've never used ftp before. [09:06] hello. is there a tool whick displays cpu usage somewhere on the screen? (for example on the titlebar of each window? [09:06] jleeperry: if you can't ftp to something - it's either not running ftp, it's on a different port [09:06] or you have a firewall blocking you [09:06] Umm...? [09:06] Ok. [09:07] I try to transfer a pdf and I get: Transfer Files: This feature is not available using this protocol [09:07] docmax: Not that I know of -- I don't even think that is possible. There are htop (and is nice). You also could write a conky script that will list top 10 or 20 or etc processes on desktop. [09:07] jleeperry: that suggests it's not an ftp at the other end [09:09] ok, is there a gnome applet where i can input terminal commands? [09:09] docmax, press alt-f2 [09:09] indus, yes i now, but i remember having one on the gnome panel [09:09] docmax, its called application laucher i think [09:10] docmax: here is nice guide [09:10] docmax, no sorry wait [09:10] docmax: here is nice guide http://www.howtoforge.com/conky_system_monitor_on_ubuntu704 [09:10] docmax: There are not any, I think. You could opt for guake. [09:12] there has been a white box, where i can input commands... was it on xfce4 panel? [09:12] is there someone here that uses postgresql 8.4 ? [09:12] kinja-sheep: do you kno anything about openVPN? [09:12] docmax, its the run application panel i think [09:13] no... app panel only shows a button which opens the alt-f2 box [09:13] rahduke: I can't say I do. [09:13] docmax, yes what else are you talking about [09:13] http://a2.vox.com/6a010980c4d981000b011016437e02860b-500pi [09:14] the white box [09:14] docmax, its called run application [09:14] docmax, see in add to panel if you scroll down [09:14] docmax, maybe you mean xterm [09:14] Would anyone know why XORG is memory leaking like a b**** randomly? [09:14] is there a way to totally uninstall a package and ALL its data cause my upgrade from postgresql 8.3 to 8.4 messed up everything ? [09:14] lol this is prolly pretty stupid but can i ask someone to try to access my VPN [09:14] nicoco, sudo apt-get purge [09:14] nicoco: sudo apt-get autoremove packagename? [09:15] indus, is it with the greas symbol? [09:15] ah nvm [09:15] just set it up and its too late to call anyone i kno [09:15] quit [09:15] docmax, greas? whats that [09:15] gears [09:15] indus: how does purge work? As computer janitor keeps on seeing truecrypt as something to remove, are the two related (purge and pc janitor?) [09:15] Would anyone know why XORG is memory leaking randomly? [09:16] hi I have a problem with power management. it has always worked fine until recently. now auomatic dim of the laptop screen and sleep does not work properly. i have added the inhibit applet to the panel. if i click on this twice, then the power managmeent works fine. any ideas? [09:16] i.e inhibit seems to need to be turned on then off for power mgmt to work [09:16] asdff, no ,purge is a commadn which removes all config files with the application [09:16] hi. i get to use gnome panel in openbox thru the command gnome-panel. but how do i use kde-panel? [09:16] indus: ah cheers, does autoremove not do that? [09:16] asdff, pc janitor is somethin like aptitude autoremove i think [09:16] :)) [09:16] ahh kk [09:16] hi all! i have installed on my ubuntu 9.04 mysql-server 5.1 then i removed this server and like to install mysql-server5.0 but i got this error [09:16] exactly [09:16] Aborting downgrade from (at least) 5.1 to 5.0. [09:16] cheers ;) also bbl [09:16] bb [09:16] but i have remved 5.1 [09:17] those commands leave /etc/postgresql/8.4 folder and even if I reinstall postgresql-8.4 after that it won't start [09:17] hi. i get to use gnome panel in openbox thru the command gnome-panel. but how do i use kde-panel? [09:17] and a few other folders [09:17] hi. i get to use gnome panel in openbox thru the command gnome-panel. but how do i use kde-panel? [09:17] and as I'm no postgresql expert I don't know what to do. Only solution I found is to keep using postgresql-8.3 [09:17] nicoco, did you try purge?? [09:18] hi. i get to use gnome panel in openbox thru the command gnome-panel. but how do i use kde-panel? [09:18] I tried purge too [09:19] howdy folks! ... anybody still awake? [09:19] I think it's postgresql related cause It's pretty complex... files in /etc/postgresql /usr/share/ /var/run /var/lib/ .... [09:19] nicoco, so what is the problem? [09:19] my problem is postgresql8.4 won't launch [09:19] hi. i get to use gnome panel in openbox thru the command gnome-panel. but how do i use kde-panel? [09:19] nicoco, need to manually remove it then [09:19] What's the arch channel? [09:19] nicoco, did you install it? [09:19] so there is life in here :=) ... [09:19] using /etc/init.d/postgresql-8.4 start [09:19] elgh, #arch [09:20] mado: Shh. You're louder than a cock-a-doodle-doo rooster. :) [09:20] yes it's installed [09:20] kinja-sheep, :=) [09:20] elgh, oops no [09:20] I tried to remove and install it again, even "aptitude reinstall" [09:20] elgh, #archlinux i think [09:20] nicoco, when you type in terminal what happens [09:20] papul: I think it is called kicker in KDE. [09:20] i face ubuntu-start_up problems every once in a while ... [09:21] !who | nicoco [09:21] nicoco: 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 :) [09:21] kinja-sheep, not found [09:21] kinja-sheep, i did apt-cache search [09:21] kinja-sheep, is missing ? hmm [09:21] indus > * Starting PostgreSQL 8.4 database server * Error: could not exec /usr/lib/postgresql/8.4/bin/pg_ctl /usr/lib/postgresql/8.4/bin/pg_ctl start -D /var/lib/postgresql/8.4/main -l /var/log/postgresql/postgresql-8.4-main.log -s -o -c unix_socket_directory="/tmp" -c config_file="/etc/postgresql/8.4/main/postgresql.conf" -c external_pid_file="/var/run/postgresql/8.4-main.pid" : Aucun fichier ou dossier de [09:21] ce type [09:22] "aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type" meaning "file not found" [09:22] nicoco, i think you should ask in #postgres [09:22] indus : thanks [09:22] start_up-problems -> i heard it has something to do with "SATA" or something ... the same problem that has been faced by quite a few in 7.10 or 8.10 ... ... i'm using 9.10 [09:22] nicoco, but someone here might help too, i dont know this one [09:22] papul: Anything with plasma, maybe?

[09:31] Guest9738: Type in your password. :X [09:31] kinja-sheep: hehe, yeah i know, but i dont want it go come up at start. Can i make it go away?

[09:37] Guest9738: Try what I suggest first though. Create a new password over the existing password -- Leave it blank (in default or login). [09:37] it works right? [09:38] I don't know the stupid command to use uif2iso...help? [09:38] https://69.122.39.129:443 [09:38] And nothing rahduke [09:38] ahhhhh [09:39] i dont get it [09:39] jleeperry: just try "uif2iso" in terminal? Or mayby sudo inbefore, dont know. hehe [09:39] Usage: uif2iso [09:40] That's the command...but I get nothing.. [09:40] rahduke: Port forward in the router!

[09:41] sebsebseb, aah you speak with another person, anyways hello :) [09:41] indus: yeah exactly [09:41] and hello I guess [09:42] indus: I would imagine somebody have to give you a voice manually in the channel to curb the spams. [09:42] llutz: does it work now? i set th port to forward and triiger forward [09:42] kinja-sheep, hmm ok [09:42] kinja-sheep, can you recommend a nice and slick looking distro [09:42] Hi, I'm new to linux and there's a problem I can't solve (I've looked through google but no results yet). I'm using ubuntu 9.10 KK, I've updated my kernel from 2.6.31-17 to 2.6.33rc6 and my grub is not detectting it (even if synaptic does), I've tryed updating grub and grub2 and when I update them the new kernel is not found (same happens if I install a different kernel)... what should I do? [09:42] indus: You're not identified to nickserv. Try doing that first. [09:42] npviewer.bin eats my cpu!!! any ideas? [09:42] bloody hell. I forgot to cd to the right folder... >.< [09:43] rww, aah of course, thanks, but is it possible to auto identify on startup? [09:43] Jack_Stone: clean install or upgrade from 9.04? [09:43] indus: which client are you using? [09:43] rahduke: 443/tcp closed https [09:43] docmax, use the 64 bit flash plugin\ [09:43] rww, xfact [09:43] i guess im an idiot [09:43] chat [09:43] indus: KDE? Gnome? I can't think of any distros that designs around on looks.... Oh Mint? :\ [09:43] indus, how do i know what version im using? [09:44] clean install [09:44] indus: put your nickserv password in the "server password" or "nickserv password" textboxes on your network list window [09:44] i went into my router went to port forward, put in 443 set it to both udp/tcp [09:44] and saved [09:44] docmax, if you useing npviewer, you are using the 32 bit [09:44] Jack_Stone: so you have installed a kernel that wasn't in the repo? [09:44] exactly [09:44] I've got it from kernel.ubuntu.com [09:44] Jack_Stone: why did you do that, and it's recommended to stay with kernels that are in the repo [09:45] indus, are you so kind to explain me how to install 64 bit? [09:45] rww, i put nick password [09:45] jshlash [09:45] indus: Restart the XChat to see if it works. [09:45] I did it because I want to make my broadcom wifi card work in monitor mode [09:45] !flash64 | docmax [09:45] docmax: 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 [09:45] kinja-sheep, but then ill miss you guys for a second or two [09:45] :) [09:45] Jack_Stone: ok you can probably add it to Grub 2 yourself [09:45] wait ill try in 5 min [09:46] following som instructions to install a firmware [09:46] rww, thanks man [09:46] or woman [09:46] !grub2 | Jack_Stone [09:46] Jack_Stone: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic.

[09:46] I've seen the question of how to install Firefox 3.6 in Ubuntu a few times recently. I just ran across this blog post that explains how. http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-firefox-3-6-stable-from-ubuntu-ppa.html [09:46] kinja-sheep, THANK YOU!!! =) [09:46] PORT STATE SERVICE [09:46] 443/tcp closed https [09:46] ups, sry rahduke ^^ [09:46] rahduke: having people test if your website works, is surely off topic for this channel though? [09:46] wtf this is crazy [09:46] its up? [09:46] the problem is, when I make sudo update-grub2, kernel is not found [09:46] rahduke: also swearing is against the rules here [09:47] when did i swear? [09:47] rahduke: just now [09:47] lol now the letters wtf are a curse? [09:47] rahduke: yes [09:47] rahduke: Obfuscated swearing is still swearing. [09:47] in this channel they are [09:47] we are truly in the digital age [09:47] docmax, http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.42.34.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz [09:47] wtf can stand for anything [09:47] sebsebseb: how do I add it to the grub2? [09:47] Jack_Stone: have a look at the link the bot gave you [09:48] rahduke: don't argue, just accept the rules here :) [09:48] well im sorry, [09:48] docmax, then you extract the libflashplayer.so file and put in under .mozilla/plugins [09:48] llutz: does it work? [09:48] Alright, it seems one of my hard drives suffered some corruption during a power outage or some other nonsense, and now some files are corrupted. Not enough to make the system unusable, but JUST enough that the dumb thing refuses to boot all the way nicely, forcing me to resort to draconian tactics (like smacking escape on boot until i get a recovery console) [09:48] ok, w8 [09:48] rahduke: 443/tcp closed https [09:48] So, is there a way for me to use aptitude or apt-get or something like that to force a re-download/re-install of the base system? [09:48] hi again [09:48] i give up, i really dont get this [09:48] indus, i will follow the steps on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava [09:49] niarbeht: Maybe "sudo aptitude reinstall ubuntu-desktop" ? [09:49] !ot | rahduke [09:49] rahduke: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [09:49] In particular, /etc/lsb-base-logging.sh is total nonsense. [09:49] docmax, that doc is not too great [09:49] docmax, for flash follow my advice, for the rest you read it [09:49] kinja-sheep: Well, this is for a server for one, and for another apt-get reinstall metapackage-name doesn't recurse through the dependencies XD I'll see if aptitude does, though [09:49] ok ok i can get a hint [09:49] rww, how did you find out iam not identified? [09:50] indus: some channels you need to be registered on the network, before they let you message there [09:50] are nvidia graphics cards still a lot easier in ubuntu than ati? [09:50] indus: my client shows unidentified people in red, identified in green [09:50] rww, which client [09:50] kinja-sheep: Nope, that didn't recurse through the dependencies, sorry, it just re-convinced itself that the meta package was installed. :( [09:50] nyaa: I guess so [09:50] rww: Am I green? :) [09:51] kinja-sheep: yes ;P [09:51] nyaa: ATI tends to get the issues not Nividia [09:51] ah noes [09:51] jsfkjsljfsdjf [09:51] indus: irssi with the format_identify.pl plugin [09:51] or script or whatever it's called [09:51] sebsebseb I just want to try to figure out what to get for comp I'm building: had a great offer on an ati card but sort of concerned about that [09:51] nyaa, i found ati installation easier [09:51] niarbeht: I imagine you would want to do something manually "aptitude show " and make a list. [09:51] nyaa, have seen too many nvidia found no displays [09:51] kinja-sheep: I'll see about that, thanks :D [09:52] indus, which ati card did you get? [09:52] nyaa, but thats cos i have a spanking new AMD Radeon 4850 :) [09:52] I found ATI instalation easier, in that it worked out of the box with xserver-xorg-video-radeon. [09:52] i got a problem where i cannot remember my password set for the keyring, how can i solve this? [09:52] sebsebseb: I don't really understand most of it :S should I add an entry modifying grub.cfg adding something to load the kernel? [09:52] indus so the newer ati generally run well? have you done 3d gaming etc on it? [09:52] rww, thats the open driver, wont play quake [09:52] nyaa, sure, i play quake 4 [09:52] Jack_Stone: not sure, I don't mess around with Grub 2 yet, you can also try asking in #grub [09:52] nyaa, doom 3 [09:53] nyaa, what else is there for linux anyway [09:53] tried wow? [09:53] bloodski: Most people might type in same passwords for their user account or their wifi password. [09:53] indus: 1) Basic 3D acceleration exists and is being actively improved, 2) I really don't care. [09:53] thanks, I'll go check ^^ [09:53] rww, what to do with basic 3d ? [09:53] Jack_Stone: good luck [09:53] nvm [09:53] indus: compiz, a bunch of games I actually do play [09:53] wobble windows? [09:53] yes [09:53] baah [09:53] ya right, thats why you buy expensive graphics cards [09:53] there's also nexuiz, some flight simulator in games [09:54] indus: I didn't buy an expensive graphics card. [09:54] nexuiz is poorly optimized [09:54] !games [09:54] Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [09:54] anyway, this is getting off-topic. [09:54] yeah ! [09:54] touche rww [09:54] i think the last good looking game was prey [09:54] indus, STILL high cpu utilization! [09:54] works in linux [09:54] docmax, yes flash sucks [09:55] but are all of the more modern ati cards easier to work with in linux, or is it that some work better than others? [09:55] kinja-sheep: yeah, i thought so too, but this wasnt the case with this one [09:55] docmax, did you remove old flash? [09:55] allthough npviewer.bin has gone [09:55] kinja-sheep: can i reset it somehow? [09:55] yes i removed [09:55] Hi, i have a problem with a computer running U 9.10. I have a projector as the only screen and that works fine in CLI but Xorg just rapports "No signal". The computer only has a DVI output but i use a DVI->VGA and then VGA into the projector. I've tried to search and even thought that http://ijk.nu/jk16ua would be the solution but still doesn't work. [09:55] nyaa, newer ones use the proprietary drivers, will allways be faster in general , and will run all games [09:55] nyaa, open source ones will wobble windows :D [09:55] both projects have developers funded by AMD !! [09:56] So lessons from the open driver probably go to the proprietary ones [09:56] indus so ati is making proprietary drivers for linux that are good now? [09:56] indus, one sec, i removed the .so file and flash still works...!!! [09:56] nyaa, yes sure [09:56] bloodski: Look in ~/.gnome2/keyrings/ (Move it or delete it) [09:56] docmax, yes do this , sudo apt-get purge flashplugin-nonfree [09:57] nyaa, latest version catalyst 10.1 try it [09:57] can someone tell me how I can boot to a usb flash drive?| [09:57] nyaa: ATI are not that Linux friendly [09:57] nyaa, are you 'contemplating' buying a new card? [09:57] bloodski: I'm going to take a nap. Good luck! :3 [09:57] CPU is at 35%!!! [09:58] just for a youtube video [09:58] xover, do you have a windows PC available to you? [09:58] bloodski: Remember to use blank passwords. [09:58] indus I'm contemplating buying every part of a new computer [09:58] nyaa, eggsellent [09:58] Anyone feel like pastebinning /etc/lsb-base-logging.sh [09:58] Kinja-sheep: still there? I just followed the guide you linked, and changed my default keyring to a blank password in passoword encryption, but i still have to enter the same keyring as before! what to do? [09:58] from a 9.10 install? [09:58] nyaa, buy the 5000 series cards ati , or get the older 4000 serries cheaper [09:58] sebsebseb: it looks like everyone is AFK... any idea why the new kernels are not detected when "sudo update-grub"? (grub2 as well) [09:59] xover? [09:59] Jack_Stone, try os-prober [09:59] Jack_Stone, sudo apt-get install os-prober [10:00] knoppies: yes mate i have [10:00] same result =S [10:00] nyaa: I got a link for you https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UserDays/01232010/ChoosingHardwareThatWorks [10:01] sebsebseb neat, thanks =) [10:01] xover, I seem to have lost the name of this thing, give me a sec to find it. [10:01] nyaa: np [10:01] nyaa, frankly both cards work fine these days [10:01] i had both so iam not biased [10:01] with ATI though there is slight flicker when system boots, but its harmless [10:02] or when you lauch an app like game [10:02] otherwise, my quake textures look more pretty with ATI [10:02] indus: problem persists =S === linucks is now known as linucks[afk] [10:02] Jack_Stone, which os is this [10:02] Is the issue relating to BIOS detection? [10:03] Jack_Stone, you should try the older grub if you take my advice that is [10:03] indus: ubuntu 9.10 karmic koala [10:03] Jack_Stone, you must first run sudo grub-mkconfig then update-grub [10:03] Jack_Stone, its so much more brilliantly easier to fix [10:03] Jack_Stone, i mean, which OS it wont detect [10:03] xover, are you trying to make a USB disk bootable, or are you trying to boot from an all ready USB? [10:04] Jack_Stone, maybe need to manually add entries, but for that you need to ask someone else really [10:04] weird thing is, I installed grub2 from synaptic (it detected it as unninstalled) but grub2 was the default grub from the beggining [10:04] I wanted to boot an OS from a usb flash thumbdrive [10:04] Jack_Stone, maybe try sudo update-grub2? [10:05] xover, yes and? [10:05] arvind_khadri: is not detecting the OS the problem, is detecting the new kernel [10:05] kinja-sheep: Any way to track down what package provides a certain file? [10:05] indus: I did it [10:05] niarbeht: apt-file search [10:05] xover, Ive got the program, Im just trying to find it because I can't remember its name. [10:05] hi i have a new install i was setting it up and installed a few things. now when i boot comp i get to the login screen i click my uesrname adn pasword. then the boot sound comes up but i am still stuck pon the broen bootloader screen. and i cant get in. [10:05] indus: And it doesnt work, I cant see the usb device from EFI [10:05] xover, EFI ? whats that [10:06] the new bios? [10:06] aha! mac bios [10:06] mohhoh: Did you made any update? [10:06] iceroot: thanks [10:06] rumpsy: yes i did say ^ [10:06] xover, check for boot options, probably has another key for more options, i had it [10:06] Jack_Stone, yeah when you run gurb-mkconfig , new kernels will be detected [10:06] xover, i had asus board, didnt show in normal boot, had to enter f8 more boot optiosn [10:06] I dont have any options. [10:06] mohhoh: After you screen you see after your password [10:07] arvind_khadri: did it... still didn't work xP [10:07] No usb options and its a mac so i guess im fscked [10:07] rumpsy: i explained it ^ in my first post [10:07] oh yeah nyaa there's this as well [10:07] xover, no usb? then cant do nothing [10:07] !hardawre | nyaa [10:07] !hardware [10:07] For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [10:07] rumpsy: yes after the login screen it goes bacj to the brown screen with the logo and the bootint bar and sticks there [10:08] bacj = back [10:08] nyaa, yes mostly everything works but be careful with webcams etc, for printers generally hp is best [10:08] mohhoh: press alt+ctrl+backspace [10:08] mohhoh: Then press, alt+ctrl+f1 [10:08] nyaa, linux supports the latest mobos with all bells and whistles too, if you need hi fi sound the creativ e x fi is also supported and i believe so is the asus xonar sound card [10:09] mohhoh: it takes you to command prompt [10:09] rumpsy: i'm in live cd atm [10:09] mohhoh: o_O [10:09] how do you think i can talk to you [10:09] mohhoh: i thought of you been using another sys [10:10] yes so if i can get to comand prompt that may give me error readouts corect ???? === Agent_47 is now known as alokito [10:10] mohhoh: Any way, if you are in live cd, goto rescue mode nad fix your xX [10:10] and* [10:10] rumpsy: how i never done that [10:11] i'm not using a ubuntu live cd as that has no irc client.

[10:12] mohhoh: no!, you can also use, http://webchat.freenode.net [10:12] Kasbe: that is not so good for me thts y ubunt ulive mode is not so good [10:13] is it normal that grub or grub2 don't detect the new kernels? [10:13] mohhoh: Give a try to to fix your X [10:13] mint live cd is great has all apps i need built in. i like to use ubuntu but when things go rong mint live cd is best [10:14] help [10:14] https://dl-web.dropbox.com/get/Photos/Sample%20Album/erooo.png?w=6b93586c [10:14] Disk Utility [10:14] !help Guest85233 [10:14] hmm [10:15] https://dl-web.dropbox.com/get/Photos/Sample%20Album/erooo.png?w=6b93586c [10:15] Guest85233: that is not a valid url [10:15] that request sounds like youre drowning [10:15] Guest85233, the link does not work, and just tell us what the problem is :) [10:15] Quan time, how are you ? [10:16] Hi there! I've installed 9.10, but have to enable wireless every boot in nm-applet to get online? rfkill is showing a soft block, could that be the issue? I'm not sure how to unblock :) [10:17] indus: It has usb, just no usb boot option, but apparently if you insert an apple formated usb drive it works, weird [10:17] rushdy: usually it some key combo. Fn + 2 or such [10:18] indus: So I thought it had to be APM or GUID partition table to run, so i did that from parted and still no joy. [10:18] hi all .. i have problem with configuration VSFTPd with enabled SSL .. when i set ssl_enable=YES server don't start ... without SSL there is no problem ... any sugestions? ... i'm trying configure vsftpd on ubuntu-server ... but maybe anyone has some experience on ubuntu? [10:18] erUSUL: there's a wireless button which is illuminated, but pressing it doesn't turn it on or off or affect the rfkill status [10:19] which is which here.....mySQL is linux and SQL is microsoft right? [10:20] rushdy: sudo rfkill unblock 0 all ? [10:20] Jimi_Neutral: no MSSQL is Micrsooft [10:20] ok ... i hope it's working now [10:20] Jimi_Neutral: SQL is SQL and then their are different versions of it [10:20] so which is the linux one [10:20] thx for the help with deleting/moving the keyrings dir kinja-sheep :) [10:20] Jimi_Neutral: MySQL and there's another one, maybe more than that even [10:21] Jimi_Neutral: for Linux [10:21] o0k ty [10:21] Jimi_Neutral: np [10:21] Jimi_Neutral: MYSQL Server is the familiar SQL RDMS. [10:21] .. for MS [10:21] erUSUL: No change! I have 0: phy0 (Wireless LAN): soft: no, hard: no; 1: acer-wireless (Wireless LAN): soft: yes, hard: no [10:22] Well, it seems the solution to my problem was just to replace /etc/lsb-base-logging.sh with a blank file. Why did that work? I have no idea. Should it have worked? Probably not. Is my system "correct" now? Definitely not. But it works. [10:22] my boss asked me to change a webshost, i have no idea by the way [10:22] he said he wants linux [10:22] which i thought was mysql [10:23] Would anyone know why XORG is occassionally memory leaking on Karmic?

[11:10] ananya: Google is your best friend, use that [11:10] r u there in joomla [11:10] xfact: yes [11:10] !find rdektop [11:10] ananya, no iam not a developer [11:10] !find rdesktop [11:10] Package/file rdektop does not exist in karmic [11:10] Found: rdesktop, brdesktop-artwork-gnome, brdesktop-artwork-grub, brdesktop-artwork-splashy, brdesktop-common (and 3 others) [11:10] erUSUL, !info rdesktop [11:10] bah [11:10] xfact, for me rdesktop client is installed by default... but it wont let you view the remote desktop while someone is using it (windows only lets one user per session) vnc will be the thing you want : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC [11:10] i tried google but didnt get any solution [11:10] rumpsy, can you check out this command i think its rong [11:11] rumpsy, sudo dpk-reconfigure xserver-xorg [11:11] mehheh, its correct command [11:11] aah its dpkg [11:11] mehheh: correct [11:11] dpkg* [11:11] its not reckognised by tty1 [11:11] mehheh, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg but it doesnt really do anything these days [11:11] use, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [11:11] thanks [11:11] mehheh: ^^ [11:11] Humm it's complicated! [11:12] xfact, like vlt mentions, your friend will need to 1) install a vnc server 2) do some port forwarding so that the vnc server can listen to wan access on the decided vnc port [11:12] ananya, did you ask your question in #joomla? [11:12] hai [11:12] xfact, it only seems complciated now, examine some how-to's and it will become clearer over time [11:12] sent her phone number [11:12] yes but noone to help [11:13] ananya, always have patience, if someone is around he will help [11:13] ananya, ok ask me your question [11:13] airtonix: Actually I just want to share some files with that Windows desktop, so I am asking for remote desktop, any other easy ways to share files? [11:13] What is default sound server in 9.10 [11:13] xfact, remote desktop and vnc wont let you do that [11:13] ok new question [11:14] Is there a way to auto extract files from torrents? like AutoExtract... ? [11:14] xfact, you might be interested in using samba through hamachi [11:14] How to share files with Windows desktop? [11:14] xfact: ummm, that's why I asked what you actually want to do ... [11:14] ananya: he or she?

[11:16] i've some problems wit my sound [11:16] In Ubuntu 9.10 my terminal is transparent. But if I change visual effects to none it will appear as it should be... [11:16] xfact, they still require port forwarding i believe (pidgin does at least) [11:17] marcio_ thisi sounds correct [11:17] xfact: There's another cool technology called e-mail ;-) [11:17] airtonix: I am currently using Skype to send files but it's little slow [11:17] oops....I meant elgh [11:17] ya i still cant figure out why skype file transfer is so slow [11:17] xfact, ok if that works for you, what are the disadvantages apart from the speed restrictions ?

[11:19] xfact uploading is norammly slower thna down wher i live [11:19] Guess nobody knows my problem. :P [11:19] xfact, have a look at hamachi... it might be something that appeals to you (summary its a simple vpn client for windows mac and linux) [11:19] I use dropbox also to share files, but I think it's not secure [11:19] i use dropbox too [11:19] <[BT]Brendan> Do SATA hard drive enclosures take SATA II drives? [11:19] marco tell prob instad of asking [11:19] for help [11:19] ah ok [11:20] i dont know why but my sound is not working [11:20] xfact, marcio_ dropbox requires a third party to be involved... technically its no different from email [11:20] xfact: For sharing files with windows networks you can use Samba, either as an SMB client for a "shared folder" on the windows machine or as server to provide such a folder to windows clients. [11:20] elgh: :p you are tipped , check that in profiles of terminal window [11:20] to be more precise, i cant control the volume [11:20] asdff I'm bacl [11:20] marcio you usig ubuntu === FeiRuoWa is now known as zz_FeiRuoWa [11:21] vlt, samba over the internet by itself is not really a good idea...

Now they are almost gone. [12:16] but unfurtunatly the sound is worst than the 1.04 [12:16] Still having problems with games. [12:17] My sound is perfect. [12:17] lol forget games on ubuntu imo [12:17] i dont know whats happening with mine [12:17] well, i wanted to add an entry into my applications menu to open up the default OpenOffice screen [12:17] ;P [12:17] D2 should run nicely. [12:17] :( this sux [12:17] i checked the menu entires of Writer and Calc, and they both have %F in thei commadn line entry [12:18] i'm really confused, i dont know what i need to do to solve this [12:18] I can install it without problems, but some problems with my resolution. [12:19] anyone knows a good irc channel to ask help? [12:19] quit [12:19] When I switch off my WIFI, ubuntu throws up a dialog ("Authentication require by wireless network"). I'm leaving this unsupervised, so I want NO dialog... just want my netbook to automatically keep trying to hop back on. Any ideas? [12:20] how to write unicode in html code? [12:20] mostafakvd: #html [12:21] hey guys, i was wondering, why swap isn't in my mount list? [12:21] system monitors shows i got it working, but mount won't show it [12:22] Damn, miss 1 function in Rhytmbox. [12:22] charles__: it's the reference of a list of files which can be given as argument to the launcher [12:23] How can I change My login screen theme? [12:23] olorin, okie... [12:24] bye, sorry for the autojoin on this channel [12:24] olorin, so, i don't need to include it then (i'm not 100% sure of what that means) === Goremiko is now known as nmWiND [12:24] GabrielSOE: for 9.10 check http://delicious.com/dr_willis/gdm2 (in mygdm tags) are some links to some tools to let you change them [12:24] Dr_Willis, thanks m8 === eaglewatch is now known as EagleWatch [12:26] charles__: indeed, it will make it without argument if you don't the oofice to open a given file [12:27] charles__: i'm not sure neither how to give arguments to a launcher actually :-) [12:27] hi guys, not sure if this is the best place to ask.. but what's the best way to mirror a webdav site? [12:27] does anyone here knows about loging into active directory with ubuntu? PLZ msg me private [12:28] Hey there === omar_ is now known as Omar87 [12:29] I'm trying to modify a panel in gnome so that it can have two rows of launchers. I.e a 48px tall panel could have two rows of 24px launcher icons. Kindof like quicklaunch in windows [12:29] Cant find how though === Omar87 is now known as CocoPuff [12:30] sorki jak wgrac jave na ubuntu [12:30] Ben^, why don't you add another panel? [12:30] ?? [12:30] !pl [12:30] Na tym kanale używamy tylko języka angielskiego. Możesz uzyskać pomoc w języku polskim na #ubuntu-pl. [12:30] there has been a change to the bluetooth stack from bluez-utls to something else, can someone point me at some more definitive doc and how to's ? [12:30] dnivra, because I only want the left 'launcher' section to span two rows, the open window list I want to take the entire height [12:30] whta's that language? [12:30] ?? [12:30] kamil we here speak english [12:31] why [12:31] ?? [12:31] olorin, thanks for trying to help :) [12:31] dnivra, or can I have two panels dock to screen bottom, side by side ? [12:31] do you understand this? === CocoPuff is now known as archisgood [12:32] dnivra, hmm nope, if I have a panel set to 'Expand' and docked bottom, they stack vertically (the panels), not side byside [12:33] Ben^, Tell me if I'm right: you want a panel that'll contain launchers only? [12:33] some bluetooth guides advise settings in /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf however that appears to be out of date with KArmic bluetooth support, what is the Karmic way ? [12:34] dnivra, well, yes and no. I want a section of my lower panel to contain two rows of launchers on the left, the recycle bin and workspare switcher applets on right, and window list to fill remaining space between [12:34] *workspace [12:35] dnivra, what happened is I doubled my panel height to fit a workspace switcher with 9 workspaces (3x3), but because of this the icons have grown to a stupidly large 48x48 [12:35] Ben^, you mean the launcher icons right? [12:35] dnivra, yeah [12:35] hi :) anybody here want to have a look at some iptables rules for me? :D === EagleWatch is now known as eaglewatch [12:36] Ben^, I'm not sure if i can answer your query; but I've an alternate suggestion: try to create a new panel and add launchers to them. Solely keep launchers in them. [12:36] dnivra, yeah I did that. But I cant have two panels docked to screen bottom if I want the window list to expand-to-fill, cause it pushes the other panels up [12:37] dnivra, maybe I had better just install cairo-dock and be done with it :P [12:37] 1 [12:37] Ben^, maybe you could ask again: perhaps some one who came into the channel might know. === eaglewatch is now known as EagleWatch [12:38] Ben^, I can understand what you want but not much idea how to. Cairo-dock is pretty good because it can have both launchers as well as open windows:). [12:39] Hello ! I am facing issues with ubuntu 9.X series... I am not able to perform any internet based connectivity [12:39] Hey All. I resized my gnome bottom panel height from 24px to 48px, but now my launcher icons have grown too and are stupidly big. I'd rather have them stay at 24x24 and stack vertically to fill the panel height. [12:39] ubuntu_beginner: What does /etc/resolv.conf say? [12:39] ubuntu_novice: Err. See above. :X [12:39] hi guys, I have a .cdi file and need to burn it onto a cd, how should I go about? [12:39] The connection seems fine, I can ping ip as well as fqdns but nothing else works [12:39] dnivra, yeah cairo-dock is kickass. I'm using the new nouveau drivers though and not sure if cairo will play nice [12:40] kinja-sheep: It is blank [12:40] ubuntu_novice: That probably is the problem. You know your router's IP? [12:40] I tried to enter the router ip but it still doesnt work [12:40] Ben^, a suggestion though don't use openGL. it causes problems with VLC if that's your video player. [12:40] ubuntu_novice: It should have "nameserver 192.168.1.1" in it. [12:40] moreover how am I able to ping google via ip or anything ? [12:41] dnivra, the nouveau drivers dont support 3D yet :) [12:41] Ben^, perhaps there's an issue with other players too I don't know; i use VLC only and can't see videos if cairo dock is running on openGL. [12:41] dnivra, well, at least not the ubuntu published branch. The hot ones do but only very partially [12:41] kinja I tried name server 192.168.X.X ie my ip of router but still no luck [12:41] When I switch off my WIFI, ubuntu throws up a dialog ("Authentication require by wireless network"). Eventually the dialog disappears, but I'm leaving the unit unsupervised, so I want no dialog... just want my netbook to automatically keep trying to hop back on wifi if it disconnects. Any ideas? [12:41] dnivra, change your output module [12:41] ubuntu_novice: Did you restart networking too when you changed the resolv.conf? [12:42] Ben^, I tried; keeps having issues. I just decided to sacrifice the cute animations [12:42] what do you mean by restart networking ? I did rebooted system but no luck [12:42] I benchmarked 2D graphics performance with nouveau vs. nv vs. nvidia - nouveau is twice as fast ! [12:42] dnivra, seems weird. someone else must have had the problem. -> google [12:43] Ben^, I did; it's reported in bug forums of vlc with the same solution you suggested:). so that's why I decided to sacrifice the animations:). [12:43] forums of vlc as a bug* [12:43] dnivra, what compositor you using ? [12:43] Ben^, how do I find out? [12:43] dnivra, you're on ubuntu right ? [12:43] Ben^, yeah. [12:44] dnivra, in system / Preferences / Appearance what is visual effects set to ? [12:45] any other suggestion ? [12:45] Ben^, oh that; extra. [12:45] hi guys! how can i turn off this fading windows stuff in netbook edition? [12:45] dnivra, that means you're using compiz. You have all the nice squishy window effects huh? [12:45] Ben^, that's right. [12:46] Ben^, that's all I've to be happy about now:) since cairo-dock can't run in openGL. [12:46] ubuntu_novice: You said you reboot the system (but why is resolv.conf empty?) You're on another machine? [12:46] dnivra, ok. If you were using a differeny compositor I was going to suggest some alternatives. It's likely Compiz is whars causing your prob. [12:46] Ben^, oh! so you think it's not a cairo-dock problem? [12:46] dnivra, NVidia or ATI ? [12:46] Ben^, neither:). I've Intel's on board graphics. [12:46] Ben^, or what ever it is called. [12:47] dnivra, I think you can set cairo-dock not to use 3D - but to use 2D instead - that might fix it. hang on i'll install cairo-dock - ive forgotten where the setting is [12:47] I am using windows 7 right now [12:47] dnivra, yuck :P [12:47] Ben^, yeah I know. I've this amazing laptop with no graphics card: BD drive, full HD, centrino 2, 1600x900 res. graphics card is missing:(. [12:48] do i need to configure my samba in order to access a Samba share on another ubuntu box (on the same network - setup as a WINS server for the windows boxes to access) [12:48] since ubuntu didnt work so I had to go back to installation of windows 7 to get on to internet [12:48] ubuntu_novice: Try this --> sudo mv /etc/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf-bak && echo "nameserver 192.168.1.1" | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf && sudo service networking restart && sudo service network-manager restart [12:48] aaaoooaaa: why can't you use iso images? [12:48] Ben^, yeah I think I remember how to set it to 2D. think it's 3D that's causing the problem? have you experience a problem like this? === EagleWatch is now known as eaglewatch [12:48] After all the benchmarking I did the other day, I have a new view of these fancy compositors for xorg. Compiz and Metacity (with composite on) have SHOCKING 2D render performance. [12:48] experienced* [12:48] aaaoooaaa: in here, please [12:48] aaaoooaaa: why do you need to use cdi instead of iso? what's so special in that format? [12:49] dnivra, not exactly. but 3D compositing is very new on linux, and you're not running the hottest 3D device [12:50] Ben^, :). Yeah true. But 3D's fine for me. This basic thing is pretty much enough to get more to switch to ubuntu from windows here. [12:50] dnivra, yeah but you might be able to have best of both worlds if you set cairo-dock to use 2D render, but still run compiz [12:51] Anybody know why damn small's still using the 2.24.31 kernel? [12:51] Myrtti: from what i understand, the cdi image has multiple tracks whereas an iso will be single track, and that will cause the application to not work properly [12:52] Ben^, windoze doesn't have a 3D dock that looks as cool as cairo-dock. Least most win users don't know win has a dock. [12:52] aaaoooaaa: but cd's are always iso filesystem in the end, so your logic fails [12:52] Yeah thought so too. [12:53] kinja-sheep: what will this command do ? One more thing you said my /etc/resolv.conf is empty .. how did you see the file and more importantly does windows 7 has /etc/resolv.conf file ? :O [12:53] Myrtti: your assuming that the reader is a cd-based system. I never said that. Your extrapolation failed. [12:53] Ben^, well what you pointed out to me just now is a fine-technical detail surely for most average users. I only got to know now that 3D composting is pretty new on linux. judging by how good it is, i thought it was around for sometime now. [12:53] i am not here to argue formats, thats why i posted this in offtopic, in such an event [12:53] hmm, anyone know where I can get help on using dvdstyler with dvd author? I can't use tovid since it doesn't do subtitles, and avidemux since it doesn't create the dvd structure, only converts to mpeg. [12:54] i just need to know if anyone knows how to burn cdi images on linux [12:54] ubuntu_novice: No. Windows 7 does not have /etc/resolv.conf -- That is for *unix. I thought you're having network issues with your Ubuntu machine? [12:54] aaaoooaaa: so you mean "if anyone knows how to create cdi images?" [12:55] cat *cdi |grep -i header [12:55] dnivra, there should be an option in the ubuntu menu under accessories - Cairo Dock (No OpenGL) [12:56] Then shave of the bytes b4 that with dd [12:56] dnivra, close the running cairo-dock first [12:56] l [12:56] Ben^, that's what I use currently; no openGL. it's a sacrifice of the awesome animations but it still looks amazing. [12:57] i'm looking amazing. [12:57] SmokeyD: Re-encode the video with subs on it? :0 [12:57] Myrtti: NO. Burning a cdi image. [12:57] kinja-sheep: I was waiting for your reply before getting disconnected [12:58] novice_ubuntu: I did replied. "No. Windows 7 does not have /etc/resolv.conf -- That is for *unix. I thought you're having network issues with your Ubuntu machine?" [12:58] Myrtt i wrote it up there [12:58] kinja-sheep: what do you mean? I just have two avi's with srt subs, which I want to burn to a video dvd with a menu to play it on a dvd player. Avidemux doesn't help with creating the dvd structure. Tovid does, but isn't able to handle subtitles. dvdstyles (+dvdauthor) does both, but I need some help on it [12:59] dnivra, it shouldnt turn off animations [12:59] kinja-sheep: or are you saying that I missed some feature on tovid or avidemux? [12:59] Ben^, but the rich set of animation that is there in openGL isn't there. That's what I meant. I do have some basic animations. [12:59] SmokeyD: I simply was giving you another option -- Re-encode the video to have subtitles hard-pressed on the film (you wouldn't be able to turn them off). [12:59] dnivra, example ? [12:59] kinja-sheep: ok, don't want to do that. [13:00] SmokeyD: There also are devede -- You could try that. I don't remember the features it offered. [13:00] Ben^, just a second. let me run the openGL version and see. been so long since I did. [13:00] SmokeyD: tried 'devede' ? [13:01] Ben^, when you do a mouse over there's the highlighting thing right? [13:01] kinja-sheep, Dr_Willis, no haven't. Gonna take a look at it now. thanks for the tips [13:01] dnivra, depends which cairo-dock theme you're using... [13:01] SmokeyD: I recall the mencoder or ffmpeg faq/docs mentioning putting subtitles embeded in a video.. but i never use that feature.. and i rarely convert avi to dvd format. [13:02] dnivra, I'm running it in 2D mode now - mmm purdy. Man I'm glad I installed these nouveau drivers [13:02] aaaoooaaa: might be useful to you: http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion [13:02] Ben^, it uses the same config file => it's the same theme in both openGL and the non-openGL. also the animations when a launcher is clicked: cube rotate and stuff. [13:02] Dr_Willis: Yeah. Nobody don't want evidences laying around. :X [13:02] s/don't/ [13:03] sipior: thanks so i take it there is no native linux app that will burn cdi images directly, like win's 'bootdreams' [13:03] aaaoooaaa: no. you use a proprietary format, you take your chances. [13:03] sipior: understood, thanks [13:03] dnivra, hmm im not using a theme with cube rotate.. let me try switching, see how it runs. It _SHOULD_ be the same.. [13:04] Ben^, All i did was kill the non-openGL one and run the openGL one. the effects started off just like that. I didn't change any configuration at all. it's not the same. [13:05] dnivra, yeah there might be something in config to turn on, but you must have chosen your own theme when you first started using cairo-dock? (in openGL mode) [13:05] Ben^, didn't change theme or any configuration: all icons are the same and theme is the same "My Mix" in both the openGL and the non-openGL. [13:05] kinja-sheep, Dr_Willis: you guys are great, Devede seems to be just what I need. [13:06] thanks [13:06] SmokeyD: devede is a little quirky - but it works well for me. [13:06] ok i'll install that one.. altho my theme manager isnt auto-downloading a list :/ [13:06] Ben^, "My Mix" means my own custom theme:). [13:07] Ben^, it's a custom theme with a few icons and settings that I changed and saved:). [13:08] german oder Englisch? [13:08] English, please [13:09] fine [13:09] I have a problem with Ubuntu and virtual box [13:09] Guest69284: .... which are ?

PLZ msg me private [13:10] It's a grub problem isn't it? [13:10] Guest69284: yea. i wonder how ya managed to do that. Ive instaleld ubuntu on vbox dozens of times and never have the issues.

The cairo-dock help tells me to add the 'Switcher' applet - but there is none!!

[13:15] Ben^, true no need to swear:). switcher applet? Just you keyboard shortcuts right? [13:15] sebsebseb, hmm seems a bit presumptious - but ok..

For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [13:15] Ben^, also if you've apps open in another workspace you can click the launcher in the dock and it'll automatically switch to that workspace [13:15] dnivra, nah if im using cairo-dock I want a nice shiny switcher applet :) [13:16] dnivra, yeah but I want to see the preview [13:16] zizou_: Why can't you install it? === eaglewatch is now known as EagleWatch [13:17] Ben^, preview of each window eh?

[13:19] Ben^, about the compositor I'm using: it's not set in the visual effects window: I use CCSM so that over-rides that setting. [13:19] zizou_: i always use bootable usb flash drives these days. installs faster. less hassles. [13:19] zizou_: maybe, unless 1. you checked your ISO and it has the correct code. 2. you did the disk check on the CD and it passed [13:19] same network name [13:19] dnivra, whats CCSM ? [13:19] how ever i can access it via \\ip\ [13:19] Ben^, Compiz Config Settings Manager :). [13:19] Hello again... I need help with two primary problems in with 9.10 [13:20] I need some help with using ubuntu in a "windows domain" [13:20] dnivra, oh right, yeah still compiz tho :) [13:20] My first is my keyboard map I can't seem to locate my hash buttonn and I've typed everything ( I think) [13:20] zizou_: or maybe 3. you have an offical CD that isn't scratched or dirty [13:20] dnivra, I'm using xcompmgr - it doesnt use 3D but it beats the snot out of compiz and metacity \ [13:21] dnivra, in terms of speed that is [13:21] I've got it set to a mac UK keyboard, which is what I have [13:21] Ben^, yeah but i get more settings and more effects. Desktop cube effect etc etc. [13:21] yes it's an official CD [13:21] dnivra, yeah. Have you installed emerald ? [13:21] I'm having to copy and paste the # symbol to access this channel [13:21] dnivra, I was running compiz too - but when I realised how much slower some apps were running I killed it [13:22] Ben^, well most users like me want usability and not speed right? it's a single user system.

An idle processor is not good; or so I understood from my OS principles class(and also from #ubuntu a few days back). [13:23] dnivra, Yeah like me, too. But thats my point - I started having issues with speed (firefox actually) so much so that it started becoming unusable with a few tabs open - when I narrowed it down it was Compiz so I axed it - rather usability than bells and whistles [13:23] Oh wait [13:23] òóò ÿ [13:23] îê.

[13:26] here already [13:26] i installed it on my PC with out problem but i'm trying to install it on my laptop how contain windows 7 , i think that a problem is from windows 7 [13:27] Ben^, true. That's why primary browser is still FF. [13:27] äà äà, ìû ïîíÿëè ÷óâàê, ñïàñèáî [13:27] Ben^, Oh really! Should check emerald out then. thanks for the tip! [13:27] dnivra, no worries [13:27] dnivra, it's in the ubuntu repository [13:27] Ben^, :) [13:27] on my monitor's native resolution @60Hz I only get access to 2/3rds of monitor 2 [13:27] Ben^, easier work then. can't help loving the ubuntu repository:). [13:28] Dr_Willis: DeVeDe creates subtitles from my srt file with a transparent font with white borders. Is there any way to make the subtitles solid white? [13:28] darkstar1: im using 2 LCD's both are DVI. i just use the nvidia settings tool with no hassles.. so cant really suggest much else to try [13:28] is ubuntu built on the same infrastructure as red hat ? [13:28] zax1: no [13:28] did you have to edit it DrWillis? [13:28] zax1: both are linuxes though [13:28] SmokeyD: check the devede docs.. and if all else fails the options/code for it. Ive tweaked the program a bit. Its all written in pyton [13:29] can someone tell me how to make Microsoft LifeCam VX-1000 to work on Ubuntu 9.1 without using wine? [13:29] SmokeyD: i never use subtitles. so no idea what settings are for it [13:29] !webcam | Gangrel [13:29] Gangrel: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [13:29] Gangrel: its possible it might not have any linux support.. [13:29] Dr_Willis: did you have to edit the nVidia config file? [13:30] dnivra, it's just a wrapper. Thank debian for inventing apt ! [13:30] thanks Myrtti [13:30] i have a vmware server built on redhat - i have firmware updates in bin format, how do i run them? === EagleWatch is now known as eaglewatch [13:30] it' actuallly a little sad how little credit debian gets. Ubuntu is just a custom debian distro [13:30] darkstar1: all i did was use the nvidia-settings tool a few clicks and i got twinview going on 2 monitors.. [13:31] Ben^, Apt is an amazing application definitely. But, I was thanking the hard working people who port debian packages to ubuntu. I know some don't get changed much but still they're tested too right? That is a lot of hard work. Surely. [13:31] Ben^: And Mint is piggybacking on Ubuntu! :( [13:31] Debian has its own testing :) [13:32] Dr_Willis it says that it is not supported but when i use $ lsusb i get Bus 002 Device 002: ID 045e:00f7 Microsoft Corp. LifeCam VX-1000 [13:32] But yeah canonical has definately done good with ubuntu - [13:32] gave debian that little kick it needed === urkki is now known as Finnish [13:32] hi, how to enable/disable keyboard layout indicator from console ? [13:32] Gangrel: being listed in lsusb doesn't say its supported [13:33] Ben^, Three cheers for canonical! They're sponsoring free CD's as well as freenode! [13:33] [ot]: I'm trying to connect to OFTC's #debian, and that says that i have to be registered to join the channel. My question is: I've never needed to be registered to join this channel, so what's happening this time? [13:33] Gangrel: the fact that lsusb prints that means very little from a 'support' point of view. [13:33] dnivra, ohh found something interesting :) [13:33] !offtopic [13:33] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [13:33] Gangrel: its just showing the usb devicve ID string [13:33] Dr_Willis: oh boy, oh boy, oh boy. DeVeDe is written in python and just run from source code. That is great. I can tweak it easily [13:33] : [13:33] thanks [13:33] Ben^, that's for us I gues. sorry Myrtti:). [13:33] kinja-sheep, whats mint ? [13:34] !mint | Ben^ [13:34] Ben^: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes.

Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), crunchbang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #remote-exploit) [13:34] SmokeyD: yep. i always set the default menu items to play next. and a few other tweaks. [13:34] that needs to be updated [13:34] SmokeyD, python ? hmm [13:34] who updates the bot? [13:35] dnivra, I found a PPA link for direct cairo-dock updates from the makers :) [13:35] dnivra, should have some updated toys >:) [13:35] Dr_Willis: I have twin view going just not perfect at the moment. I'm either getting the display spanned across the two screens (so my BG picture is stretched across both screens) in 75Hz mode or I'm getting access to only 2/3rds of the screen at 60Hz mode. Attempts to access the nVidia config tool says I need to run it Xconfig server as root which I don't know how to so far [13:35] dnivra, https://launchpad.net/~cairo-dock-team/+archive/ppa [13:35] Ben^, nice! time to test it out;).

[13:38] [13:38] sillyCEO: wired/wireless? it does auto-reconnect to my router here when the router resets [13:39] wireless. [13:39] Dr_Willis: wireless. [13:39] Dr_Willia: Really?? Hmm [13:39] sillyCEO: could be my router resets faster so i never see it ask... [13:39] Dr_Willis: it's not just the wallpaper. Attempting to drag an application onto the other screen results in a limit, only 2/3rds of screen 2 can be accessed [13:40] Ben^, check my PM. [13:40] darkstar1: sounds quirky. Ive never had such issues. Try the nvidia settings tool i guess and rearange the monitors. [13:40] Nigth all.. sleep time for the Dr. [13:40] Dr_Willis: Mine pops up a dialog when I turn off my router (for a few minutes). Then I must 'select' a network to re-try...

[13:45] SmokeyD, which part did you look at exactly? [13:45] i'm missing about 50-100 pixels on all sides [13:45] indus: subtitles [13:45] metalac, use the monitor buttons and adjust it? [13:45] Dr_Willis: Does your wifi reconnect automatically when you leave off router for a few minutes before switching on? Or only when you turn off and on quickly?

[14:44] scunizi: recompiling alsa now, but maybe that's not the solution for this problem (did it before i read your reply) [14:44] is just a connection based on IP . DNS Gateway and that's it...he made it in Windows XP...I just completed the dns, ip , gateway and doesn't work... [14:44] erUSUL well, I mounted an ubuntu img on a usb drive and tried it , and restarted, and I got that [14:44] obiwan_ hi m8 [14:44] Pici, my router MAC address and Access Point are almost the same , only diff by one digit ...is that normal ?

[14:45] it takes something like bcast automatic and metric value 1 in windows xo is automatic metric and is nothing like bcast that appears from nowhere ... [14:45] GabrielSOE: you will have to boot into a livecd and check the grub configuration. it is passing the worng root to the kernel (or so it seems) [14:46] ithingLinux: broadcast-address is given by ip-address+netmask [14:46] obiwan_ yes but that was it, I only booted up and that was it [14:46] BluesKaj there is a built in sound card which it wasn't working with either [14:46] GabrielSOE: do you mean you made a bootable usb drive and booted on the usb? [14:46] erUSUL how do I do that?

[14:47] johan, install linux-generic-pae package [14:47] he has a dsl internet connection and he shares that through windows and a switch/not a roter [14:47] erUSUL: I thought PAE was only for 4G+ ? [14:47] oh wait jaunty [14:47] jakethepython, the soundblaster is a separate card and you have an onboard as well , then they are probly in conflict .

Like how to enable the mac style dockbar etc?

[16:02] tonyarusso: but that doesn't realy solve the problem, because when i start the username that appears is not mine. I know the user name but i don't really know how did it get there. [16:02] darkstar1: Actually, compiz does not do docks. But there are docks like cairo-dock and AWN you can install from ubuntu repos [16:02] archboxman: consider it done [16:02] ouyes: ok, you are correct. === yofel_ is now known as yofel [16:02] chamuscas: what???

However, the CD reader is shot and it has no USB. On the up side, it has a 23 Gig partition that is free. The laptop currently has windows on it, can somebody help?

Can I get to the text-mode installer on it (is there even a text mode installer still?) [16:04] how about telling everyone on the internet that: [16:04] aidehua: no, use alternate cd [16:04] aidehua, there is an alternative cd [16:04] ithingLinux, is that true, how can they do it without my permissi [16:04] not that [16:05] tonyyarusso, yes, the second scenario. I insert a pen drive with several partitions (each with a label) and I want to wipe one of them.

[16:06] Can anyone tell me how I can install ubuntu from windows on a free partition?

[16:07] I am new on Ubuntu, Linux and IRC. Don't be afraid :) [16:07] aidehua: Nope, this CD is meant to be run Live, you can do a partial GUI install by selecting "Install Ubuntu" rather than "Try Ubuntu without making changes to Hard Disk" from the boot menu [16:07] armence: you can use wubi if no CD or USB is available [16:07] !dualboot | armence [16:07] armence: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [16:07] ithingLinux, stay on topic or you will be removed [16:07] armence, just burn a cd with ubuntu and follow the instructions [16:07] howdy folks! ... === root is now known as Guest70230 [16:07] tonyyarusso, any possibility to undo the upgrade?

[16:08] Roland: Distribution upgrades cannot be undone [16:08] armence: but you said you don't have a cd drive or usb port [16:08] chamuscas, The CD drive is shot [16:08] Roland: not really, no [16:08] ok [16:08] IdleOne: Sorry, I should have said I can't boot from the usb port, but I have one [16:08] armence: if you have an ubuntu installation already you can install on to a pen drive [16:08] ah ic [16:08] armence: then i can't be much of a help [16:08] armence: floppy? [16:08] ouyes: regarding this? grep -i participate /etc/popularity-contest.conf it just checks the setting [16:08] krysis: Nope...

I installed several languages on Ubuntu, just like on windows. But it looks like if I wanna switch between language, I have t log off and log on again each time. Since I need so switch between French, Swedish and English every other 30 seconds, I hope there is a better way, otherwise I need to be back on windows.

[16:11] IdleOne, simply because you said "there is an asking in the installation process", but i pratically know there is none [16:12] To sebsebseb. You know, when I write. For the whole Ubuntu, It doesn't really matter the language. It is when I write on internet and on openoffice writer for instance. [16:12] Roland: I see... you want to reinstall everything? [16:12] Roland: or you would *have* to re-installl everything [16:13] To SEBSEBSEB: With Windows, I could just use Alt-shift to switch between language [16:13] tslskonsult: ok keyboard layouts, right click the top panel for example, and add the Keyboard Layout indicator, and set it up [16:13] IdleOne you shoul instal Ubuntu 9.10 again ..or just install it to see about statistics without permision [16:13] should [16:13] tslskonsult: when you restart with ubuntu your resetting the WHOLE language, you can change the keyboard layout just as easy as windows with what sebsebseb said [16:14] it doesn't take long [16:14] ithingLinux: I am done with this offtopic discussion.

The issue i have is that i get a menu that does not correspond to my /boot/grub/menu.lst not grub.cfg and grub.d entries are all seem okai which logically mean that stage 1 redirects it somewhere else. This was a clean install of karmic couple months back and no other partitions except root which is ext4. Any insight will be appreciated [18:24] applecat: X is the application that draws windows, handles mouse clicks and so on [18:24] Arabus: the guy who started tinycore defected from DSL [18:24] erUSUL: I am back wirh bad news, it didnt work infact now my system shows there are no valid connections [18:24] Arabus: and took a bunch of devs with him [18:24] ikonia: ? can you see it from this?

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 :) [18:53] Smurfie: do you have another computer you can use to download a live cd of the latest version? [18:53] The only other computer I have has Window XP. [18:53] where can I get TOR debs for karmic? [18:53] Still times out actionparsnip [18:53] Smurfie: you can use that to download the cd-iso and burn it? [18:54] Yea, I can. [18:54] Hm.. means I gotta go get CDs. [18:54] Smurfie: well.. you can use a usb stick if the computer you're planning to install on supports booting from it [18:54] !install | Smurfie [18:54] Smurfie: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

[18:57] well , I have that written down [18:57] let me pm you there [18:57] On windows I could set my network type to "public network" and I could become invisible within that network, can I do that here (in Ubuntu)?

[19:18] osmosis: dpkg -S /path/to/file [19:18] osmosis: apt-file, or packages.ubuntu.com [19:18] osmosis: or what Myrtti suggested if you don't have the package/file installed [19:18] looks like... I am stuck and this time ubuntu wont work [19:18] wlan0: disassociated from MAC-ADRESS (Reason: 14) any ideas? I got disconnected from the ap all the time [19:18] found a forum about it http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1075301.html [19:18] cool [19:19] thanks Myrtti that was perfect [19:19] Fabiotheape: try: sudo lshw | head -n 20 [19:20] why are there so many socket types? [19:20] iceroot: are you there ? [19:21] Fabiotheape: what sockets? Cpu sockets? Network sockets? [19:21] Guys whats more recommended way to install PPTP VPN [19:21] cpu sockets [19:21] anyone know of a desktop feed reader that has GReader sync built in? [19:21] for Linux, obviously [19:21] Fabiotheape: that's offtopic here. This is ubuntu support. Ask in ##hardware [19:22] What do I do if I run into problems with this upgrade? [19:22] !info greader [19:22] Package greader does not exist in karmic [19:23] actionparsnip: greader is google.com/reader ... [19:23] Can anyone answer a quick question? I've added a user and the only dir in /home/ they can access is their own home dir, but they can access the entire filesystem outside of /home/ (I understand this is necessary so they can run programs and login etc). My concern is they could read the passwd file, copy it, and run some kind of cracking script on it to get all the system passwords... Is this... [19:23] ...unreasonable paranoia? [19:23] Maco: I see [19:24] dp: liferea has some type pf integration, you can see your google feeds but not mark/unmark as read, star, share [19:24] l337ingDisorder: since the passwd file doesnt actually contain any passwords, yes, it is unreasonable paranoia :) [19:24] l337ingDisorder: isn't the shadow file unreadable for normal users? [19:24] Can any one tell me how to install compiz via terminal? [19:25] tasaduq: its installed by default [19:25] maco: ah I thought that's where the password hashes are stored.. where are the actual passwords stored? [19:25] l337ingDisorder: the shadow file is encrypted very strongly so brute forcing it will take millenia [19:25] how do i start firefox update after downloading it? [19:25] l337ingDisorder: /etc/shadow [19:25] slart: I'm unfamiliar with the shadow file [19:25] I use the Internet through a wimax dongle - it works fine using madwimax: I want my computer to detect the insertion of the dongle and automatically run the command "sudo madwimax". It seems like it should be possible - how do I do it (ubuntu 9.10) [19:25] ahh [19:25] l337ingDisorder: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/understanding-etcshadow-file/ [19:25] l337ingDisorder: that's where the passwords are kept.. [19:25] l337ingDisorder: maybe 10 years ago or more, /etc/passwd was the place, but that changed for reasons you just named [19:25] Slart: What so I do if I run into problems with the upgrade? [19:25] l337ingDisorder: so you don't have to be paranoid about the passwd file =) [19:25] Jack5463: sudo apt-get updatej sudo apt-get upgrade [19:26] maco, I know, but I want the terminal code thingy [19:26] ok so basically this is on our company's dedicated server... we hired a web dev off e-lance and none of us have ever met him so I'm hesitant to dish him out SSH access [19:26] tasaduq: sudo aptitude install compiz [19:26] Jack5463: will give you the latest off the repos. You don't need to explicitly download it === maxjay is now known as MaxJezy_ [19:26] Smurfie: well.. hopefully we can fix them when/if they show up.. I don't think it should affect any data but it might make the system unbootable.. that's when you'll need the live cd [19:26] l337ingDisorder: did you know that you can give a finite list of commands that ssh users are allowed to use? [19:26] Hi! I would like to know to which project is linked the package python-mpi.. is it scipy, scientificPython or something else? [19:26] l337ingDisorder: its in the sshd config file [19:26] but in theory as long as I nuke his home dir and create a symlink to the user dir I want to keep him restricted to, he should be safe? [19:27] Ooh, ok. [19:27] l337ingDisorder: why nuke his home dir? [19:27] tasaduq: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [19:27] maco: no I didn't, that's good to know but probably more restrictive than I want to get [19:27] l337ingDisorder: put him in a group that has access to the dir you want him to be able to access [19:27] maco: basically he just needs access to one of the domain accounts (ie, one of the user dirs in /home/) so I figured the best thing would be to drop him right into that dir upon login [19:27] maco: thanks [19:28] I don't know how good idea rbash would be in l337ingDisorder's case [19:28] Hello all. [19:28] l337ingDisorder: oh. just set that one as his /home then? [19:28] fair enough... [19:28] hello all, I was wondering if I coudl get some help with the sph_bessel special function [19:29] thanks eh :) [19:29] Hi! I asked about this a couple of times before, but never got a reply. Here's another try: since the update to Karmic there a constant quiet but annoying buzz sound in Ubuntu, that, strangely, does respond to volume control. Also, the sound has a different, less natural quality than in WinXP. Does anyone know why this is / how to fix it? [19:30] Halabund, run alsamixer, try muting the different lines [19:32] hwilde, apparently it's the mic [19:33] I have a system with a system load of > 9.. okay, I have an Intel I945 chipset and with the crappy intel drivers of these days in ubuntu, half of that comes from there, I know that alrady.. But the rest? When I check top, I see that firefox uses like 90% of CPU, but for therest there are no apps using realy more than 2% CPU.. How can I find out which process is hogging tese system resources? [19:34] I wonder why the mic input goes to the speakers by default ... [19:34] phoenixz: are you refering to the numbers shown by uptime? [19:34] and why there's no obvious graphical volume mixer control to turn it off [19:34] Slart: uptime or top, yes [19:35] Halabund, sure there is just go to sound preferences [19:35] Halabund: a gui isn't needed, alsamixer does the job [19:35] I'm not familar with the commands to use in terminal. Where do i get a list or directory of commands [19:35] phoenixz: you know what they mean, right? they are not percentages as such [19:35] Hiya guys [19:35] its at 9.50 on average since the last 30 minutes [19:35] phoenixz: a half crashed flash-player plugin in the background? [19:35] Slart: I know that a load of 9.50 on a dualcore means that I have about 5x the maximum load.. [19:35] jack5463: that's a very generic question, you can do many many things in the terminal (even more than the graphical environment) - what specifically do you want to do? [19:36] My apologies if I'm asking something dead simple; I'm a Ubuntu newbie, and have updated Firefox to 3.6, following a guide taylored for ubuntu 9.10, but Firefox is reading as a Beta and not a final release. Thing is, 3.6 is completed for all platforms. Any ideas? [19:36] phoenixz: nope.. means you've got, in average, 9.5 threads waiting to be run.. it's a weird measrement [19:36] jack5463: I could recommend you taking a tutorial on the internet (google for bash tutorials) and bash references as well.. [19:36] Can any one tell me how to get mint menu in ubuntu? [19:36] qpop: for update to firefox 3.6 stable use either ubuntuzilla or firefox-stable ppa [19:36] Slart: funny, everybody says it means something different.. I still have to find a solid definition for the system load.. [19:37] phoenixz: but anyways.. you should see what is running in top/htop [19:37] blakkheim, yeah, I suppose one has to be highly motivated to use Ubuntu, and a good aptitude for reading man pages is needed too [19:37] How can I connect to a friends pc to check out the trouble he is having? I am using Ubuntu 9.04 and he has xp. [19:37] ekim: rdesktop [19:37] tasaduq: sudo apt-get install gnome-main-menu [19:37] phoenixz: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_%28computing%29 [19:37] Halabund: ubuntu likes to make a gui for even the most simple task where one isn't needed at all [19:38] phoenixz: the plain old system monitor should work too.. make sure you're looking at all processes.. not just the ones being run by your user [19:38] xangua: that installs linux MINT main menu? [19:38] phoenixz: it that a terminal command? sorry for dumb question but kinda new to linux. [19:38] Slart: well, top shows firefox hogging quite a lot, but thats okay, and normal, I have quite a few pages open.. But then again, I sometimes have like 50 pages open and system load is not passing 1... now its on 9.90 [19:38] phoenixz: it could also be processes waiting for some kind of io .. [19:38] blakkheim, specifically i want to update firefox to see if updating it will repair a problem. I'm using unbuntu 9.10 booted from usb drive. When i start firefox I get a message.."The bookmarks and history will not be functional because one of Firefox's files is in use by another application. Some security software can cause this problem." The message is persistant when I'm not running other applications. How can I fix the probl [19:38] em. [19:38] ekim: its a program, you can execute it from terminal or from a menu.. [19:38] hi all, i have compiled a new application which requires mysql to be running, it works great ... i am trying to get the application to auto run on machine boot up but i think its failing as it is running before mysql has ... any ideas ? [19:38] Anyone knows about python-mpi? [19:39] Hi! I'm looking for a small program written in C with a Gtk user interface to learn about C/GTK programming. Can you tell me one? [19:39] korsakof1: What about it? [19:39] ekim: Im more KDE than GNOME, but I know in kde there is something called KDC... errr... something.. hehehe, that does VNC, windows remote desktop, etc. [19:39] Slart: but that would show up in wait, no? I have wait at 0% [19:40] anyone know of a class or framework that makes writing an interactive console app a little easier? [19:40] something that displays a prompt and takes custom commands [19:40] Pici:I would like to get more documentation on this pacakge... which project is the source of the package? scipy, ScientificPython, ... [19:40] phoenixz: in htop you can add a column called "STATE".. it will show which processes are running "R" or sleeping "S" [19:40] phoenixz: Does that mean i cant run it using this ubuntu? Am I KDE or Gnome? think I am Gnome. [19:40] xangua: I have followed the guide on sourceforge and at the point at which i apt-get install, I get "E: Unable to lock the download directory" [19:40] phoenixz: look at which processes are considered to be running [19:41] qpop: use sudo [19:41] xangua, that was ubuntu's menu, not min menu :S [19:41] sudo apt-get install appname [19:41] KB1JWQ freenode oper/staff [19:41] Corey "Jay" Chandler [19:41] 3221 Carter Ave #128 Marina del Rey, CA 90292 [19:41] amazingrapist.com [19:41] steaminmad: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:41] xangua: I am doing [19:42] phoenixz: I think processes waiting for io are considered to be "waiting for cpu" when it comes to system load.. not 100% sure though [19:42] korsakof1: python-scientific [19:42] tasaduq: do you already installed it¿¿ now right clic in a clear panel area> add> system menu [19:42] ekim: Usually, ubuntu = gnome, kubuntu = kde.. Its a matter of personal preference what you like better. Gnome programs tend to be a bit simpler to use, KDE usually have some more options.. You can run KDE programs in gnome, and vice versa, but usually if a program exists for kde, it will also exist for gnome.. try finding the version for gnome first if that is what yo uare runnin [19:42] korsakof1: python-mpi is listed as a binary created by this source package: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-scientific [19:42] http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/ubuntuzilla/index.php?title=Main_Page using the instructions on there. [19:42] xangua: there is no system menu, and you mean add pannel right? [19:42] whats an "amazing rapist" ? [19:43] Pici: thanks! [19:43] hwilde, where exactly in sound preferences is it? IIRC in Jaunty there was a mixer control similar to what's in WinXP, but I can't find it here. There are 5 tabs, the input tab has a volume control that doesn't seem to do anything, and there's the global volume control. [19:43] xangua: add to panel* [19:43] zealot: something belonging in #ubuntu-offtopic [19:43] Hi! I'm trying to master Remastersys. One of the instructions is to "unmount network shares". I' [19:43] Slart: AFAIK, waiting for IO processes are waiting for data from disk or network.. but then again, not sure either.. [19:43] ah [19:43] i could re word my question something like how can i install and manage a brand new service ? i've put the files in /etc/init.d [19:43] zealot, Slart: No.. it is not appropriate for that channel either. [19:43] wlan0: disassociated from MAC-ADRESS (Reason: 14) any ideas? I got disconnected from the ap all the time [19:43] xangua: interestingly when trying to open xangua GUI i receive error "another instance of synaptics is running in non interative mode" [19:44] phoenixz: how do i find what version of gnome I have? [19:44] so it would seem there's a problem thre, but I have no idea how to sort it [19:44] . [19:44] I spent a lot of time on google and failed to figure out how to do that. Is there a simple command to unmount all network shares? [19:44] Is it possible to boot from a floppy, and all the floppy says to do is "boot from usb disk" if booting from usb in the bios is not supported? [19:44] Halabund, right click the little speaker icon, open volume control, you might have to change preferenes to display the mic [19:44] ekim:Again, no gnome expert here, Im KDE, but in KDE its, open any KDE program, go to help, and then "about KDE". I suppose its something similar in gnome [19:45] phoenixz: yes.. but according to the webpage I sent you the url for, linux counts those processes too when calculating the system load.. one example is that having a USB 1.1 device transferring stuff might get you a higher system load since it's so slow [19:45] hwilde, I right click the little volume control, and there are two options: "Mute" and "Sound preferences". Is anything missing that should be there? [19:45] Halabund, RIGHT click it, Open Volume Control [19:45] phoenixz: duh, yeah it is the same. version 2.26.1 gnome [19:46] hwilde, I know what right click is ... [19:46] ekim: sudo aptitude show gnome-common | grep Version [19:46] hello [19:46] !command [19:47] Halabund, you should see this http://hankwilde.com/images/Screenshot-VolumeControl.png [19:47] blakkheim: it is version 2.26.1 [19:48] I've been searching for this but not coming up with anything. I do not want certain partitions showing up in my sidebar in nautilus how can I remove them from the sidebar? [19:48] Does anybody know if there are firefox 3.6 repositories for ubuntu? [19:48] You guys know that when you select "64 bit", it still says "32 bit" on the download button? [19:48] for the front page download of ubuntu [19:48] It doesn't have to be a command. A GUI instruction is ok too. Any way to "unmount all network shares"? Or get a list and unmount them one at a time? [19:48] poutine: on the ubuntu.com download page? [19:48] yeah slackd00d [19:48] Slart, [19:49] Is there any Ubuntu live cd which runs openssh server automaticly? I need to understand ubuntu server but I don't have a screen or graphiccard [19:49] gives me the 64 bit iso though, but definitely says "32 bit" on the download button [19:49] poutine: it changes to 64bit on mine.. you've got javascript enabled? [19:49] i have moved myscript.sh to / usr/local/bin in order to make it globally available...But when i write the scriptname in another folder it gives me command not found.

They both worked fine last week after install, but one went missing today after I installed a PCI express card. Now, both fdisk and mdadm tell me "error 16: Device or resource busy". Using the "Disk Utility", I've checked for SMART errors and run the self test but it reports the drive is healthy. fuser and lsof show now files accessing it. Can anyone help? [19:58] hwilde, Have you any idea why it doesn't look like that in my case? I can't find any other volume control thingie in the "add to panel" window either [19:58] So how do I connect to a friends xp machine?

[20:01] jbwiv, consider powering down, disconnecting the drive, powering up, power down again, reconnect the dirve, and restart. Just a thought. I'm no ekspert. Anyone know how to "unmount all network shares"? [20:02] Halabund, I have a dozen different distros all the way back to 5.10 and they all look the same [20:02] Smurfie: huh? do you have something else running apt, aptitude, synaptic, update-manager or similar?

I'm new to this. but in the absence of an authoritive answer, I think it is dependent on details of the file in question whether or not ubuntu can even make a thumbnail. [20:05] so just ignore it [20:05] hardik_: as i've told you, try asking in #pidgin [20:06] stilllearning, i wish i knew what these details were [20:06] blahblah:it worked for 'hex' utility (but not for hexdump). to which directory it is downloaded to? [20:06] i ve tried but they just dont answer [20:06] i dont know man i m a newbie [20:06] strings: your current directoy [20:07] I've downloaded firefox. How do I start its installation?

One under applications, at the bottom, one under system, administration. I think ther is a third hidden somewhere. [20:07] strings: so probably your home folder.

[20:08] Slart, there are no instructions. that's why I'm asking here. [20:08] magn3ts, not really, where's git? running it from a shell works because you have PATH set, but not so much with cron [20:08] Does starting gnome-volume-control bring up this window for anyone else on Karmic? http://dl.dropbox.com/u/38623/Screenshot-Sound%20Preferences.png [20:08] poutine, git isn't a command, its the user.

I've tried fora, google, wikipedia. This is my last hope. [20:09] either put it as a cron for the git user, or su -c it as the git user [20:09] poutine, okay. [20:09] its just [20:09] magn3ts, also you should put absolute paths in crons for the aforemention lack of PATH issue [20:09] Slart, thanks for being cute [20:09] AIM i cant get chat room list.. [20:09] poutine, even to php ? :( [20:10] yes [20:10] jack5463: why don't you install with synaptic? no need do download "some file" [20:10] Could someone please try this?

[20:11] jack5463: I do try =) .. but I'm still serious.. there are many ways of packaging an install. The recommended way is to use a repository and apt/synaptic [20:12] jack5463: when it comes to files theres source, binaries, installer scripts and deb packages.. I can name software using all of these methods.. firefox can probably be downloaded in several variants [20:13] Anyone know how to "unmount all network shares"? [20:13] stilllearning: i used to do it with a script [20:13] how can I search for files (docs) with different symbols in the filename on the ubuntu terminal? [20:13] for example (, # [20:13] in a certain directory [20:13] spartan07: you can escape certain characters with \ [20:14] spartan07: well.. "find" might work [20:14] Myrtti, thanks. Are there commands that will do it? I haven't mastered scripts yet. [20:14] hello, is there a way to atuo-remove non-used applications from aptitude? [20:14] spartan07: try find . -name "whateverfilename" [20:14] I would like to pipe the list of file names in a certain dir with the sysmbols (, # into a text file [20:14] stilllearning: start a text file with #!/bin/bash and add an unmount command you'd normally use, one per line. [20:15] Come one, it's a yes/no question and takes about 5 seconds to try ... Does starting gnome-volume-control from terminal bring up this window for you on Karmic? http://dl.dropbox.com/u/38623/Screenshot-Sound%20Preferences.png [20:15] Myrtti, I'd settle just for listing them so I could unmount them individually. [20:15] my system is quiet filled up with non used apps [20:15] stilllearning: you don't know which ones you have mounted? === EagleWatch is now known as eaglewatch [20:15] so it would be find . -name "*(*" "*#*" ? [20:16] Myrtti, no I don't. I haven't eplicitly shared anything asd far as I know. [20:16] stilllearning: haven't shared or haven't mounted? [20:16] Halabund: yes [20:16] Myrtti, haven't shared anything that I KNOW of. === eaglewatch is now known as EagleWatch [20:17] is it possible to have both password login and public key configured on an openssh server? [20:17] umount -v cifs or so [20:17] stilllearning: mounting and sharing are different things. if you've not shared anything knowingly, then you probably arent. [20:17] mezquitale: yes. [20:17] guntbert, thank you [20:17] Myrtti, thanks! [20:17] mezquitale: however, the server probably has a preference on which it wants [20:17] Myrtti, this is a really n00b question but does ssh transmit your password in plain text like telnet? [20:18] mezquitale: of course not, that would defeat the purpose of it totally [20:18] Halabund: you're welcome :-) - care to tell me shortly what that was about? [20:18] mezquitale, SSH1 is vulnerable to MiTM attacks [20:18] Myrtti, thanks. In the absence of any sure way of knowing I'll settle for that. This is a step in using Remastersys which I am trying to learn. [20:18] Myrtti, so basically if someone doesnt have a public key can the server be configured to prompt for a password, I use SSH2 [20:19] poutine, i use SSH2 [20:19] mezquitale: yes. [20:19] is there some thing like ctrl+alt+dlt in ubuntu? [20:19] Myrtti, thanks! I'm going to turn on password logins [20:19] poutine: nobody in their right mind uses ssh1 anymore, anyway [20:19] guntbert, well, hwilde was trying to tell me how to access the volume control settings in Karmic, but apparently that command brings up a different window for him. I just wanted to know whose system was the outlier. [20:20] Is there compatiblity mod? like so I can disable compiz effects for particular application?? [20:21] Halabund: mind you - I continually upgraded my system since 8.04 [20:21] guys i need help when i compile my alsa drivers i get this error when i try to compile (sudo make) alsa-utils any suggestions? :make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.

[20:36] it booted first time but after I activated restricted driver it just cycles to restart every time before even reachign login [20:36] brontosaurusrex: The first way redirects stderr to stdout and then directs stdout to /dev/null , that will create zero output no matter what. [20:36] hi [20:36] How come ubuntu works on mac? [20:37] it did this in 9.04 too so i tried 9.10 but it does the same exact thing sad :( [20:37] MissPiggy, because it works on intel processors? [20:37] I just did an apt-get upgrade and after reboot, my X is no longer responding to mouse or keyboard (Im in a rescue terminal now...).. WTF?! How can I fix this? [20:37] puff: well, I don't know ;P it just came into my mind, I've used ssh only on one computer so far, so I just want to make sure that will work before I start fighting with the IT to give me the root password [20:37] Pici: ok, thanks, will try that ! [20:37] yeah but hw come it works because I tried another distro and taht didn't work [20:37] so what's special about ubuntu? [20:37] ed1, afraid not; although i would suggest not using enter as punctuation because your message becomes scattered all over the place and is hard to fallow [20:37] I tohught all the gnu/linux would work just as well [20:37] where do I see how much ram do I have?

[20:38] my brother messed around with my computer, and now when I start console, it always starts in / instead of in ~. How can i fix this? Is it the environment setting in .bashrc? [20:38] brontosaurusrex, yes [20:38] ulb: probably [20:39] ulb, i don't know, but you could try renaming the configuration files (.bashrc) and see if the default config which is generated works as you desire [20:39] Anybody who can help with a nonresponsive X after a recent apt-get upgrade ? [20:39] tato: Wow, okay, well you should defintiely get to know ssh.

[20:39] ulb, sorry i don't know more, but it's a first step in answering your own question === ubuntu is now known as zth [20:40] tato: Maybe I'm unclear as to what you're doing, but I thought you want to have a script that you run on one machine, and then have a bunch of commands executed on a bunch of different machines.

[20:48] No, it's a fresh install, didn't change anything [20:48] It booted the first time just fine, only after the driver has it failed [20:48] clockmaster: which restricted drivers did you install [20:48] thank you [20:48] Some ATI driver.

[20:53] I've got a box running Ubuntu server (9.10, Intel Atom chip x86_64, D945 Desktop chipset). I'm on a college ResNet that uses VLANs and a firewall for network security. They've set me up with a subdomain and port forwarding, and I've gotten apache and openssh up and running - apache/openssh work both inside the college network, and outside. However, I can't access the repositories, I can't get to the internet on the server with links, and a ping to google.com [20:53] and ubuntu.com fail from the server.

[22:33] apollo8: It is possible to keep the Windows bootloader in the MBR and use it to start Ubuntu, but that certainly isn't the easiest option.

[22:37] is there a way to run ASP on ubuntu? [22:37] an ASP server [22:37] somebody help me? when I try to compila my program in gtk show this: Package gtk+-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path. [22:37] Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtk+-2.0.pc' [22:37] to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable [22:37] No package 'gtk+-2.0' found [22:37] Noturno99: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:38] from. i used universal netboot installer to put it on the flash drive [22:38] nabil: what is the format of the video your trying to play [22:38] shane8002, i watched the same movie today before i changed the graphics card, and the only thing i did to my system today was add a graphics card and install the driver [22:38] Noturno99: install libgtk2.0-dev [22:38] shane8002, avi/divX [22:38] yes [22:38] i did it [22:38] http://paste.ubuntu.com/367872/ please here [22:39] what can I do? [22:39] nabil: okay what is your card model [22:39] shane8002, nVidia GeForce 9400 GT === tyler is now known as Guest71689 === sale_ is now known as sale [22:40] Noturno99: you need libgtk2.0-dev, that is the package that contains gtk+-2.0.pc, if that doesn't work, something is wrong with your build environment [22:40] benkay, you there? [22:40] I don't have a menu.lst in /boot/grub [22:40] Where is it? [22:40] wondering if I could get some assistance with a audio problem Im having with ubuntu 9.10 on a macbook 2,1? [22:41] anyone> [22:41] ? [22:41] is there a way to run ASP on ubuntu? [22:41] apollo8: OK, so basically you used http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ and an Ubuntu ISO to create a bootable USB device, and then you tried to install Ubuntu to... your internal hard drive? [22:41] I'm trying to edit a file but when I try to save it says Read only file system. I've tried chmod 777 /mnt* and chown sudo chmod -R ugo+w /mnt*.. What more can I try? I'm out of ideas [22:41] this file don't exist in my pc? [22:41] shane8002, VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G96 [GeForce 9400 GT] (rev a1) [22:41] i can't find it [22:41] nabil: okay make sure you enable the driver after install [22:41] Hi, if I run a loop in bash and it goes wrong, what process do I have to kill to stop it? [22:41] gtk+-2.0.pc [22:41] Noturno99: sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev; [22:41] No1 knows how? ;( [22:42] oh sorry i used the usb to install ubunutu on a hp mini 311 notebook (no optical drive) [22:42] shane8002, its enabled other wise i woudnt have desktop effects ryt? =S [22:42] onto that hard drive [22:42] yes, I did I. the package is instaled [22:42] but i have to configure environment variables [22:42] correct? [22:42] is there a CL command maybe to boot ubuntu in graphic safe mode? [22:42] Noturno99: you shouldn't need to configure the environment variables, they should be set up correctly by default [22:42] or something. Anything [22:42] shane8002, plus the h/w drivers from administration tools says its enabled and in use [22:43] hum [22:43] Having som trouble with shared folders on ubuntu, I can see all the windows computer on the lan, but my friend on ubuntu, who runs the same version, can't see any computer, exept the folder "Windows network" who gives an error msg when tries to open "WORKGROUP" [22:43] oi [22:43] apollo8: OK. And now when you turn on your netbook, you see the BIOS post screen and then nothing but a blinking cursor. [22:43] what do you think? [22:43] nabil: its kinda weird that the desktop effects work and the video dosent [22:43] povenho [22:43] apollo8: Do you recall any errors popping up during installation? [22:43] i find it hard to believe there is no graphic safemode in ubuntu. there has to be some workaround [22:43] nabil: try to play the video with another media player just to be sure [22:44] shane8002: is it a flash video? (jumping in late sorry) either way have you tried turning off hardware acceleration for video in the ccsm menu? [22:44] em não entendi [22:44] shane8002, vlc and movie player both same [22:44] Blonde moment guys...sorry......wot's the file name to apt install java again plse? :) [22:44] trism: what can i do? [22:44] xauxau, oi [22:44] yes thats what happend last time under default settings for the install. no errors. im in the advanced settings right now. i haven't changed anything, but i was wondering if i can just use the windows boot loader. ubuntu will be running along side win xp [22:44] !java | Homely_Girl [22:44] Homely_Girl: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [22:44] Noturno99: does the file /usr/lib/pkgconfig/gtk+-2.0.pc exist on your system? [22:45] i will check [22:45] hmmmm [22:45] nabil: start playing the video and check the system log see if it show any error codes [22:45] can anyone help me? [22:45] ty sebsebseb & ubottu. ;) [22:45] Homely_Girl: np [22:45] shane8002, ive been messing around with the multimedia systems selector, and the only way i get video is when i set the default video output plugin (X windows ) [22:45] !thanks | Homely_Girl [22:45] Homely_Girl: You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) === EagleWatch is now known as eaglewatch [22:45] shane8002, ive been messing around with the multimedia systems selector, and the only way i get video is when i set the default video output plugin (X windows System No XV) [22:46] anyone know how to get line out audio working on a macbook running 9.10? [22:46] Having som trouble with shared folders on ubuntu, I can see all the windows computer on the lan, but my friend on ubuntu, who runs the same version, can't see any computer, exept the folder "Windows network" who gives an error msg when tries to open "WORKGROUP" [22:46] trism: i founded here [22:46] this file: in usr/lib/pkgconfig/ but doesn't exist folder gtk [22:46] shane8002, but i want it to work with (xV) and the device is shown (v4l2) [22:46] this file is free in the pkgconfig [22:46] Graphic safe mode in ubuntu... is it even possible? [22:47] Noturno99: so the file isn't there? [22:47] apollo8: If, at this point, you get nothing but a blinking cursor when you boot up (without the CD), then chances are your Windows bootloader is toast. You would need a Windows rescue or installation medium to restore it. If we are able to get GRUB (the Ubuntu bootloader) working, though, you will be able to boot windows nevertheless. [22:47] Myke516: im new to ubuntu, but I saw a 'recovery mode' option with grub that let you boot into the shell as root, and loaded networking. [22:47] Myke516, maybe you could boot a livecd? [22:47] no, it is [22:47] Why does pulseaudio leak so much memory? [22:47] I don't have a menu.lst in /boot/grub [22:47] Where is it? [22:48] Myke516: also you could just set your inittab to start at runlevel 3 [22:48] trism: http://paste.ubuntu.com/367880/ [22:48] muffinpimp: how do you know it leaks? [22:48] !grub2 > Kentrel [22:48] Kentrel, please see my private message [22:48] Kentrel: no menu.lst in Grub 2 [22:48] what about a screen that says grubrescue> [22:49] Noturno99: does: pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0; print anything? [22:49] apollo8: Are you able to get to such a screen? [22:49] Is there anywere I can see when people are copying files from my shared folders? [22:49] anyone have any ideas about audio? [22:49] thank you [22:50] clausen: no but I came back to my computer from 1-2 days and the 4 gigs of ram and the 6 gigs of swap is full [22:50] trism: show this [22:50] trism: http://paste.ubuntu.com/367881/ [22:50] was* [22:50] i had it at one point but i don't remember. is it possible to fix from ther? [22:51] MuffinPimp, omg! that's crazy! and it's all pulseaudio? [22:51] clausen: yes [22:51] grr, wish I had not given away my google voice invite :/ [22:52] Noturno99: odd, try export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/pkgconfig; pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0; [22:52] apollo8: It is (probably) possible to boot into windows from there, from whence you (probably) would be able to restore the Windows bootloader to the MBR. If you're able to boot from the USB image, there's a way to fix stuff from there too. [22:52] clausen: I ran htop sorted by mem usage and pulseaudio had about 8.5 gigs of mem usage so I killed it [22:53] trism: now, show this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/367884/ [22:53] How can I start the default network manager applet? [22:53] MuffinPimp, that's pretty strong evidence of a leak! [22:53] Yeah [22:53] After upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10 I can no longer share printers between Ubuntu machines and I'm not sure why. It used to work perfectly. [22:54] ok. im going to try finshing the installationg without the ubuntu bootloader. and see if the windows bootloader will handle it or what the problem is. i'll keep track of exactly what happens. [22:54] Noturno99: do you have build-essential installed? [22:54] yes [22:54] trism: yes [22:54] Bookman: I remember someone else had the same or similar issue after upgarding since 7.04 I think it was [22:54] clausen: is there any fix that you know of or alternative? [22:55] Bookman: release notes might have something useful, plus cups is for printers [22:55] does the checksum change if the file being downloaded is paused and resumed several times? [22:55] !notes | Bookman [22:55] Bookman: Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) release notes can be found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/910 [22:55] !cups | Bookman [22:55] Bookman: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups.

[22:55] !ESD [22:55] esd is the enlightened sound daemon. It is deprecated, use !pulseaudio instead. [22:56] I see [22:56] MuffinPimp, I'm afraid not... maybe you should file a bug report? [22:56] Why am I getting two linux images in grub? [22:56] Noturno99: try installing libpthread-stubs0-dev and then see what pkg-config prints [22:56] My .xsession-errors file keeps wigging out on my netbook, and shooting up to the gigabytes of data range in size. Is there any way to turn off logging to that file? It keeps messing my computer up by filling my /home directory's partition. [22:56] Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-17-generic [22:56] Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-14-generic [22:56] benkay86: uhm, no quite the opposite. you are confusing lilo properties with grub properties. as long as the paths are the same it should be fine. [22:56] I want to get rid of the .14 [22:56] it wont work? ok i'll try the default settings and let you know [22:56] I need some help with an audio problem [22:56] Kentrel: -14 IS THE ONE THAT WAS INSTALLED INITIALLY [22:56] trism: ok! [22:56] Kentrel: sorry caps [22:56] Kentrel: dpends on how many are installed and how your grub is configured, can have a thirty [22:56] trism: i'll try. thanks for your help. [22:57] Im running 9.10 on a macbook and my line out doesnt work [22:57] Well I have no idea how to edit them [22:57] Since grub2 doesn't use menu.lst and I don't understand the new method [22:57] clausen: I googled about it and it showed tons of stuff on launchpad about memory leaks so I think they already know [22:57] pweezy: I think the issue here is that somehow the boot sector got borked. Reinstalling Ubuntu without GRUB is not magically going to bring back the Windows bootloader. Not sure what any of this has to do with LILO. [22:57] when I set the root partition's type to ext2 in /etc/fstab, why do I end up with it mounted as ext3 after rebooting? Karmic on eee pc 901 [22:57] yeah irssi told me this when I entered 'exec -o yes'. it was pretty cool [22:57] can any1 help me install hydra it says libssh2 wrong pointer i got libssh v0.11 file but theres no info on installing it [22:58] trism: this lib is installed in my system [22:58] Kentrel: do a search for "linux" in synaptic, that should show all the kernel versions and allow removing the -14 version (kernel+2headers packages normally) [22:58] sebsebseb, Thanks, but nothing there in those links that helps me out I'm afraid. [22:58] does the checksum change if the file being downloaded has paused and resumed several times? [22:58] ok, thanks [22:58] MuffinPimp, that's depressing :( [22:58] if its his boot sector then he did the opposite of what he should have done lol; but i thought he was just reinstalling because he borked his ubuntu installation; that should work. im not certain he'd need a windows bootloader. [22:59] pweezy: I think we're trying to dual-boot. [22:59] ah [22:59] toink: if it's an ext3 file system, linux will ignore what you ask, and mount it as ext3 anyway [22:59] Kentrel : also can tell grub how many kernels to hold, I'd prefer leat two [22:59] it detected mine first time through, and i just started using it today. [22:59] least [22:59] i had dual boot right off the bat [22:59] automagically [22:59] DasEi, why two? [22:59] apollo8: Under the "advanced" options, where are you able to install the bootloader to? Is there an option that says "/dev/sda" or something similar? [23:00] Toink becuase it is most likely ext3 to start with and fstab is not the way to change this... [23:00] pweezy: Indeed, it typically does work automatically. [23:00] Kentrel : If a update cause harm or intrepid going wild, still have a bootable system [23:00] iflema, how can I change it then? [23:00] oh ok [23:00] Kentrel : intrepid = initramfs [23:01] is lubuntu replacing xubuntu? [23:01] what is lubuntu? [23:01] an ubuntu for lusers, I suppose [23:01] can any1 help me install hydra it says libssh2 wrong pointer i got libssh v0.11 file but theres no info on installing it [23:01] Hey guys, I'm looking to reinstall 9.10 to a new drive and have my current /home partition copied into place on the new drive with the new ext4 file sys... Anyone have any suggestions or a howto on how to accomplish this? [23:01] Noturno99: oh, it is in a different directory, try export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/share/pkgconfig; then check pkg-config again [23:01] Kentrel: you can edit (as root) /etc/default/grub, then run sudo update grub to configure it, comments explainations are good in that file [23:02] it just sasys bootloader and has a checked box that says install bootloader and then asks me where i want to install it /dev/sda (ata hitachi hts54501 (149.1 gb) or /dev/sda1 windows vista loader or /dev/sda 5 [23:02] !info lubuntu [23:02] Package lubuntu does not exist in karmic [23:02] hello is anyone there that can help me? [23:02] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lubuntu [23:02] Toink is it totally necessary? sounds odd to me.. but tune2fs should get you there.. not sure about going backwards... [23:02] !ask | cookta2012 [23:02] cookta2012: 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. :-) [23:02] iflema, I'm hoping it can improve performance a bit [23:02] can any1 help me install hydra it says libssh2 wrong pointer i got libssh v0.11 file but theres no info on installing it [23:02] apollo8: In this case, I think you would want to install it to /dev/sda which should have been the default option anyway. [23:02] iflema, thanks for the tip [23:03] DasEi: But grub2 has no Howmany="" option... [23:03] someone help me [23:03] sysdoc, I assume /home is on the / partition? Then you could shrink your / partition, install ubuntu, then mount your old / partition? you could deleted everything outside of /home from it... [23:03] arand: or was it 40_custom ? checking, second [23:03] What all will i need to do to install Compiz and the compiz cube on my xubuntu? [23:03] !flac [23:03] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [23:04] sysdoc: Obviously, make sure you have your stuff backed-up somewhere. You might try doing manual partitioning in the installer, and then using the target partition as / without formatting it. Someone else probably has more experience with this. [23:04] cookta2012: compiz is already installed [23:04] I suppose tune2fs can't be used on a live partition? [23:04] i not trollin i practiley married google on this hydra busness [23:04] ! compiz | cookta2012 [23:04] cookta2012: Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz [23:04] cookta2012: If you have any trouble, come to #compiz and we can help you there [23:04] Toink, best not to! you could use a livecd... [23:04] ouch [23:05] DasEi: Yea, and referring people to editing of those scripts... I don't feel completely comfortable doing that... unless insited on.. [23:05] clausen, /home part is on the old drive and it is ext3, would like to have the /home part copied to a new part that was ext4 on the new drive.. [23:05] does it have to be that hard? [23:05] yup. when i installed it last time it said complete then told me to reboot and said grub installing and the next screen came up and GNU GRUB version 1.97~beta4 under it i got 5 options 1.ubuntu, linux 2.6.31-14-generic 2.ubuntu, linux 2.6.31-14-generic(recovery mode) 3.memory test (memtest86+) 4.memory test (memtest86+, serial console 115200) 5. windows vista (loader) (on /dev/sda1) [23:05] trism: i will try [23:05] а что тут обсуждают? [23:05] sysdoc, ah, I see [23:05] !ru | alex__ [23:05] alex__: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [23:05] sysdoc, and you want to preserve permissions, etc. [23:05] clausen, :) [23:05] yeah irssi told me this when I entered 'exec -o yes'. it was pretty cool [23:05] that looks....just like an exploit [23:05] i chose the first option and it gives me a blank sceen with a blinking dash in the top left corner. this continues with no result. [23:05] sourau; i will [23:05] is there no (fstab) setting to force the root partition to mount without the journal? [23:06] hghgd: what are you doing? [23:06] clausen, yea want everything to be the same as in this install of 9.10, just want to move to the new drive with ext4 [23:06] ok so I cant get any sound out of my headphone jack and after like 3-4 months of requesting support now and then I am really starting to get fustrated [23:06] sysdoc, I believe tar preserves ownership? [23:06] Toink: if you're using a journaled file system it has to use it [23:06] sysdoc, maybe cp has some options too? [23:06] now is there like a task manager for ubuntu like in windows that gives cpu usage and ram usage and all of that? [23:07] cookta2012: system -> administration -> system monitor [23:07] arand: nope , can add in /etc/default/grub : GRUB_HOWMANY=N [23:07] Kentrel: ^^ [23:07] trism: man, could you explain what do you do??? :-) [23:07] apollo8: Ah! So, actually, GRUB did get installed to the MBR. In that case, reinstallation is even less likely to be of help. [23:07] clausen, I was thinking that gparted at install had a option to copy a dir or partition to a new drive, but not sure if I needed to stay with the same fs or could create it as a new ext4 then copy [23:07] i do not have that menu [23:07] ikonia, but my other ext3 partition gets mounted as ext2 just fine when I configure it so in fstab [23:07] sysdoc, I just checked... tar works [23:08] trism: now it's ok!! thank you! [23:08] cookta2012: what ubuntu is this? [23:08] oh ok [23:08] Toink: you're marking an ext3 partition as ext2 in fstab ? [23:08] argghhhh. (i'm a pirate) what should i do then? [23:08] ikonia, exactly [23:08] apollo8: If you reboot, can you get to that screen where GRUB gives you the various options? [23:08] Noturno99: you're welcome, I don't understand why your pkg-config doesn't check those directories by default (it should), glad it is working now though [23:08] Toink: let me guess one doesn't work [23:08] russians say me=) [23:08] can anyone help me get sound out of my headphone jack? Its kinda important because I use it for my speakers [23:08] ikonia, it works for /dev/sdb1 but not for the root partition [23:09] sysdoc, I wouldn't know if gparted has such an option... [23:09] i'm going to let this install [23:09] trism: i have installed glade [23:09] Toink: what's the error with the root partition ? [23:09] sysdoc, parted used to have such an option, but they got rid of it [23:09] ikonia, there's no error, it just gets mounted as ext3 [23:09] ok now can you set ubuntu to launch the sysmonitor on ctl+alt+del indtead of restarting? [23:09] clausen, yea I thought I had seen it from other installs [23:09] ikonia, mmm, or should I look in dmesg or somewhere? [23:09] Hello I'm having an issue ripping my CDs in flac format. I am using sound juicer on Ubuntu 9.10. I've just realized that the flac files are much bigger than their wav counterpart. usually around 40MB per song. What is going on? I'm new to Flac btw. [23:09] * iflema :| [23:09] i'm going to let this load brb. i'll notify when its done [23:09] Toink: if you do a mount does the other partition show up as ext2 or 3 ? [23:09] apollo8: OK. There's always a chance it will magically work this time ;-) [23:09] cookta2012: if you want, but there's not much reason to [23:10] sysdoc, (actually, I wrote the option!) [23:10] hi [23:10] clausen, well put it back...:) [23:10] sysdoc, the ext2 code in parted wasn't really being maintained, so the maintainers decided to remove it (fair enough) [23:10] chris89: Hi. Go ahead and ask your question. [23:10] sysdoc, I haven't touched parted in 5 years! [23:10] jrib: how would i do that? [23:10] sysdoc, can't say I'm missing it that much, hehe [23:10] clausen, ok lol!! [23:11] sysdoc, (I'm an economist now!) [23:11] ikonia, duh, when I mount the other ext3 partition as ext2, it shows up as ext2 [23:11] cookta2012: you could use xbindkeys for example. Or if you use compiz, use ccsm. But like I said, you shouldn't really have a need for this. This isn't windows [23:11] ikonia, ext3 is ext2 + journal you know [23:11] i don`t have any questions:) [23:11] Toink: I'm aware of what it is, but I wouldn't expect it to work [23:11] ikonia, guess what, it does [23:11] chris89: Oh, sorry. That's probably for the best, since I don't have any answers anyway. [23:12] Toink: it doens't or you would't be asking why one partition isn't mounting as ext2 [23:12] jrib: i understand i just like some of the shortcuts windows gives === ^cheeky_ is now known as ^cheeky [23:12] cookta2012: ok [23:13] sky eye simulator errors [23:13] Toink: would you try to boot from a livecd and mount the no-longer in use root partition as ext2 ? [23:13] skyeye_read_config: config file skyeye.conf have errors! [23:13] any one know about this error [23:13] please!!!! [23:13] Toink: I'm curious to if its something specific to the partition because it's root and already mounted ro for the initial boot, or something to do with the partition as a file system device - and nothing to do with it beign root [23:13] trism: thanks so much, man!! for your help [23:14] anyone know mac hardware? trying to get my line out to work. [23:15] ikonia, yes, I suppose it may have something to do with that. I'm not so eager to try livecd booting right now though, especially considering there's no cd drive here :) [23:15] Toink: yes, I understand that could be quite limiting [23:15] Toink: I suspect it's because it's already mounted ro for the initial boot, then just does a remount rw post boot [23:16] !grip [23:16] grip is a ripping player and has a minor bug which can be solved by doing this "sudo ln -s /dev/hdX /dev/cdromN" where X is your hard drive and N a number [23:16] ikonia, is there a syntax for mount which would say "remount it with the same partition but in rw mode"? [23:17] Toink: mount -o remount rw [23:17] oh [23:17] sounds reasonable then [23:17] DasEi: From what I've read, you need to manually hack both the scripts and the grub-mkconfig if you want the GRUB_HOWMANY functionality... [23:17] have you ever heard of like applications crashing and never opening again? [23:18] the only thing i changed from the last time i installed was the partitioning options. instead of doing it manually is jus used the option to install it along side windows and choose it from the start menu. the install is almost complete [23:19] <_pr0t0type_> Hey guys, where is the application binary directory? [23:19] benkay you there? [23:19] <_pr0t0type_> for instance, for gnome-terminal, where can I find the binary? [23:20] why doesnt my headphone jack have a volume bar in the alsamixer? [23:20] _pr0t0type_, binaries are usually in /bin or /usr/bin [23:20] Benkay86 you there? [23:20] _pr0t0type_, you can find gnome-terminal's binary in a few ways [23:21] <_pr0t0type_> I will check the /usr/bin [23:21] is there a way to edit my application menu? [23:21] _ruben, one is to search with apt, to find out what the package is [23:21] apollo8: Sorry, here I am. [23:21] _pr0t0type_, that was for you ^ [23:21] _pr0t0type_, eg: apt-cache search gnome terminal [23:21] clausen: System → Prefs → Main Menu. [23:21] _pr0t0type_, once you know the package name [23:21] cookta2012: right click on "applications"> edit menu [23:21] apollo8: So, did it work this time? [23:21] <_pr0t0type_> excellent! [23:21] <_pr0t0type_> I'll test it out [23:22] Does anyone know the limit on pastebin file lengths? [23:22] _pr0t0type_, you can then list the files (dpkg -L gnome-terminal | grep bin) [23:22] ok i completed the installation and it says 'please remove the, close the tray (if any) nad pres enter to continue' should i remove the flash drive? [23:22] hey [23:22] _pr0t0type_, jpds' suggestion also looks good... [23:22] apollo8: Yes, you should remove the flash drive. [23:22] not sure if that will make a difference. last time i removed the flash drive and pressed enter [23:22] ok [23:22] apollo8: Really shouldn't make the least bit of difference, to be honest. [23:22] why do i have to write ./executable_filename instead of just executeble_filename when I am currently in that folder containing the executeble already? [23:22] apollo8 If you don't, Ubuntu will try to install -again- [23:22] What do you guys think would be better for a netbook xfce or gnome? [23:23] At least in my experience. [23:23] ok the i have a blinking screen... [23:23] arand: i dont have that option [23:23] the blinking dash top right hand corner [23:23] is it possible to read just one of the mirroed hdd from a LVM2 setup?? [23:23] alguien controla de IPTABLES [23:23] thanks [23:23] i'm going to let it sit for a while to see if anything happens but this is what happened last time [23:23] clausen, so what would you suggest the best way to go would be? cp or tar up the /home dir and extract after the new install in done or? [23:23] apollo8: Did you see anything that said "GRUB" or gave you a list of boot options at any point? [23:23] <_pr0t0type_> I see [23:23] Sounds like your boot device listing neds to be changed. >.> [23:24] ikonia, I guess I'll try to boot with rootfstype=ext2 and see what happens. I wonder it will be possible to go back to ext3 if I see no benefit in ext :) [23:24] i have moved myscript.sh to / usr/local/bin in order to make it globally available...But when i write the scriptname in another folder it gives me command not found. Should I put it in another place? [23:24] *in ext2 [23:24] <_pr0t0type_> clausen: So it turns out it's in the /usr/bin, thanks a lot [23:24] <_pr0t0type_> I did a quick find /usr/bin -name "gnome-terminal" [23:24] <_pr0t0type_> and found it [23:24] sysdoc, I'd probably use tar: (cd /home; tar c) | (cd /newroot; tar x) [23:24] very quickly it said grub loading i think then it gave the 5 options like before with recovery mode and the memory tests of the windows loader [23:24] Toink: I don't think that will work, but it will be interesting to see if it does [23:24] _pr0t0type_, :) [23:25] elmo: it is, but I don't know the syntax any more, there is a dummy/ignore option in raidsetup, but will have to digg out yourself, mdmraid it was, I think [23:25] apollo8: Please reboot and then, when you see that screen briefly, press escape so that it doesn't try to boot the default option. [23:25] Is there a way to edit the Applications menu? [23:25] <_pr0t0type_> I've been doing a lot of configuration recently. Why is it that most configurations are in /etc/init.d/? and what does init.d stand for? Anyone, please help ;D [23:25] ok which option should i choose i think there is an advanced menu too [23:26] apollo8: For starters, try pressing the "c" to get a GRUB command prompt. [23:26] anyone know of a really good pdf modifying program like acrobat for linux? [23:26] _pr0t0type_: init.d contains service start and stop scripts [23:26] pr0t0type: It's pretty common to have directories of settings files ending in .d [23:26] got it [23:26] init would stand for initialization I imagine [23:26] <_pr0t0type_> ah [23:26] apollo8: Then, enter "search /boot/memtest86+.bin" to figure out where GRUB thinks your Ubuntu installation is. [23:26] <_pr0t0type_> initialization.d [23:27] apollo8: Also, try "search /boot.ini" which may reveal the location of your Windows installation. [23:27] <_pr0t0type_> oh I see [23:27] <_pr0t0type_> so D would probabaly daemon or something [23:27] _pr0t0type_: it doesnt actually contain configuration data, other then defaults [23:27] cookta2012: do you not get this: http://imagebin.org/83077 [23:27] <_pr0t0type_> thanks [23:28] I am currently in Ubuntu 8.10 should I upgrade to 9.10? [23:28] arand: no one sec. [23:29] unspecified search type on both [23:29] Tired of niggers? [23:29] Sick of their monkeyshines? [23:29] I am currently in Ubuntu 8.10 should I upgrade to 9.10? [23:29] apollo8: Hold on a sec... [23:30] I am just curious if there is any real advantage of upgrading to 9.10 ? like speed or anything [23:30] rat_: if you want to, support for 8.10 runs out around may I think.. [23:30] rat_: well 8.10 is still supported for a few months, after that its definitly wise to upgrade yeah [23:30] <_pr0t0type_> 9.10 is nifty [23:30] Okay I will upgrade then just hopefully its not like a windows vista upgrade lol slowing it down I mean [23:31] is there a safe way to replace notify-osd with notification-daemon ? [23:31] rat_: note that you will need to do step-upgrades, unless reinstalling, and that 10.04 is released in april... [23:31] hey how do i access whats on my windows partition from in xubuntu [23:31] I am running 9.04 and will wait for version 10 to come out before I upgrade. [23:31] can someone help me out with chmod, i dont think i understand it correctly [23:32] rahduke, of course :) [23:32] rahduke: just ask the question [23:32] jguzikowski: mount it [23:32] tertitten: why would it be unsafe? [23:32] arand, I understand can't go straight to 9.10, so going to go to 9.04 then wait till april for 10.04 [23:32] DasEi: are there any default apps that i can mount with on xubuntu? [23:32] jguzikowsk: sudo fdisk -l shows your partitons, which is win ? [23:32] acicula, last time I did it I built it from source and it ended up giving index out of bounds errors when using banshee. .. [23:33] that is why [23:33] well its a general question, for example i have a link on my desktop to a folder full of roms its got a lil lock icon on it. I drop into terminal and type sudo chmod 775 -R "link to roms" and it [23:33] DasEi: sda2 [23:33] jguzikowsk: depends on your system-config, try to find it under places [23:33] doesnt xubuntu have a clickable interface for accessing disks like normal ubuntu [23:33] doesnt get rid of the lock [23:33] rahduke: you chmod the files - not the link [23:33] hello all [23:33] tertitten: what was giving the index out of bound exception? [23:33] jguzikowski: sudo mkdir /media/sda2 [23:33] ikonia: how can i chmod a folder and all the files within? [23:34] acicula, the notifications whenever banshee where starting play of a new song [23:34] rahduke: chmod -R 775 /path/to/directory [23:34] I accidently changed a partition table on the wrong drive, and would like to try & recover the information on that drive prior to the format. Any ideas? [23:34] jguzikowski: mount << Benkay86 take your time i'll brb in about 2 min. mac 'n' cheese is done :) [23:34] rahduke: That's what the -R option is for (recursive) [23:34] lacita, yeah, there are programs for that [23:34] jguzikowski: sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda2 /media/sda2 [23:34] Question/Help: I have the new Arrandale intel integrated graphics controller, there doesn't seem to be any drivers for this model. Any suggestions? [23:34] ikonia: so it would be something like " sudo chmod 755 -R /home/rahduke/desktop/"Link to roms" [23:35] clausen: any suggestions? [23:35] lacita, I think there are hard disk recovery live cds... let me check [23:35] rahduke: no [23:35] rahduke: you don't chmod the link - you chmod the actual files [23:35] DasEi: nothing's happening with those sudo commands [23:35] DasEi: i'll just add the mout app from repos [23:36] thanks though :) [23:36] lacita, so there's http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page [23:36] Does anyone have expirence with Intel's Arrandale graphics controller? [23:36] ikonia: ok so inside my roms folder i have 2 folders that are locked for whatever reason, to chmod the roms folder and everything within it, what do i type? [23:36] jguzikowski: nah, no out means no error.. [23:36] lacita, although, I can't remember the name of the best program for doing this kind of recovery [23:36] tertitten: seems the message passing between the two messes things up [23:36] tertitten: doesnt banshee come with ubuntu and work? [23:36] lacita, parted / gparted has some features to do it, but it's not the best [23:36] new question though..i cant install themes in xubuntu..they wont show up no matter what i do [23:36] rahduke: chmod -R 775 /path/to/the/folder [23:36] i put them in /.themes nd /usr/share/themes [23:36] jguzikowski: sudo chown -R $USER /media/sda2 [23:36] hrdcore0x1a4: its a gma4500 [23:36] jguzikowski: cd /media/sda2 [23:37] jguzikowski: ls [23:37] ikonia: sudo chmod -755 -R /home/Desktop/roms? [23:37] hrdcore0x1a4: so quite a few people have used it or are using it, try asking a specific question? [23:37] clausen: really looking for the best. From my experience, the more you dither with inferior products, the more likely you are not to retreive your information.\ [23:37] acicula, yes it does, i tought it possibly was something with the ubuntu package configure options so uninstalled it and installed from source, it didnt help [23:37] rahduke: if that's where the roms are - sure [23:37] lacita, I wrote the parted one, btw, hehe [23:37] nothing shows up on ls, das [23:37] ikonia: "chmod: invalid option -- '7'"? [23:37] jguzikowski: have access now ? [23:38] lacita, I wrote the command-line one... not sure how good the graphical one is [23:38] rahduke: sorry chmod -R 775 [23:38] rahduke: read what I put [23:38] lacita, but there are other ones that I think work very well [23:38] lacita, let me check [23:38] tertitten: nah package configure options typically affect building it, you get an index out of bound exception so probably the messages send and received across dbus arent aligning up? anyway i read on the wiki that -notification was deprecated for -osd [23:38] Help! "err:wave:wodPlayer_WriteMaxFrags Error in writing wavehdr. Reason: Resource temporarily unavailable" has been written MILLIONS of times to my .xsessions-errors file. [23:38] im back [23:38] DasEi: i managed to mount it but still doesnt show up in filemanager [23:38] ikonia: same error [23:38] rahduke: show me the command you're using [23:38] clausen: you wrote parted? :0 Thank you, my good man, I just learnt how to use it, and love parted. [23:39] ikonia: chmod -775 -R /home/rahduke/Desktop/roms [23:39] rahduke: why are you not reading what I'm putting [23:39] jguzikowski: /media/sda2 [23:39] lacita, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TestDisk might be good? [23:39] lol i am [23:39] rahduke: where in my 2 examples did I say -755 [23:39] lacita, thanks :) I haven't touched it in 5 years though [23:39] DasEi: OHH okay, i was looking in the wrong spot..for some reason it hought it was in 'root' [23:39] rahduke: I said "chmod -R 755 /path/to_roms" [23:39] ikonia: lol! [23:39] jguzikowski: for permanent, add it to fstab [23:39] sorry [23:39] lacita, if you like parted, you can use it's "rescue" command... [23:39] rahduke: not a problem [23:40] ikonia: whats the dif between 755 and 775? [23:40] d'oh, im an idiot hahah..okay thats solved..any idea on the themes? [23:40] rahduke: be careful though, if you don't pay attention to stuff like that you can really mess your system up [23:40] rahduke: 775 is more open [23:40] lacita, it's not too bad, but it's more designed for advanced users... [23:40] jguzikowski: sure, basics, want it permanent ? [23:40] what is the purpose of /etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key ? [23:40] DasEi: yeah [23:41] since i upgraded to 9.10, a bunch of my Firefox login/search boxes have gone haywire - 2-3x as wide as they should be. any ideas? [23:41] howdy folks -> i got this error message three times when i was logging in on ubuntu 9.10 ... ... -> Das Panel ist beim Laden von »OAFIID:GNOME_TSClientApplet« auf ein Problem gestoßen. <- ... it means something like "The panel found a problem while loading »OAFIID:GNOME_TSClientApplet«" ... ... and then the question -> Do you want to delete the applet out from your configuration? [23:41] jguzikowski: gksudo gedit /etc/fstab [23:41] apollo8: Welcome back. [23:41] jguzikowski: scroll down, add a line : [23:41] lacita, according to the wiki page, "TestDisk" is available on all the popular rescue CDs (such as parted magic, gparted live cd, system rescue cd, etc.) [23:41] lacita, so, I'd probably try that one out! [23:41] jguzikowski: /dev/sda2 /media/sda2 ntfs user,auto,rw,exec 0 0 [23:42] apollo8: Try doing this from the GRUB command line. [23:42] apollo8: set root=(hd0,0) [23:42] jguzikowski: save the fstab, close gedit, that's it [23:42] apollo8 chainloader +1 [23:42] Then, try pressing "b" to boot. In principle, this will get you into Windows. [23:42] how do I schedule a check of the root fs on next reboot? [23:43] clausen: will do. Thank you kind sir. === andy_ is now known as boss_mc [23:43] Toink: see man tunefs [23:43] DasEi: i'm in xubuntu doe s that matter? [23:43] dont think i have gedit [23:43] lacita, no problem. gotta go... bye! :) [23:43] jguzikowski: nope, same [23:43] okay there we go [23:43] thanks :) [23:43] i got to eat quick, brb thanks for the help though :) i appreciate it === haven489 is now known as lols === lols is now known as haven489 [23:44] howdy folks -> i got this error message three times when i was logging in on ubuntu 9.10 ... ... -> Das Panel ist beim Laden von »OAFIID:GNOME_TSClientApplet« auf ein Problem gestoßen. <- ... it means something like "The panel found a problem while loading »OAFIID:GNOME_TSClientApplet«" ... ... and then the question -> Do you want to delete the applet out from your configuration? ... ... what should i do? [23:44] jguzikowski: gksudo kate or whatever or sudo apt-get install gedit [23:44] osmosis_: probably a match for ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem [23:44] clausen: bye [23:45] apollo8: Any luck with that? [23:45] hi [23:45] acicula, I got it working now, I simply replaced notify-osd with the help of this guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8765440 [23:46] tertitten: cool :) [23:46] acicula, what is the .pem for? [23:47] osmosis_: its the public portion of the private key [23:47] acicula, what is snakeoil though? [23:47] sorry benkay86 i d/c [23:48] this is what i get http://imagebin.org/83080 [23:48] are you there/ [23:48] ? [23:48] apollo8: Ah. I was just lamenting the fact that I knew GRUB much better than GRUB2. [23:48] I'm not entirely sure how to use the search command properly (try typing "help search"). [23:48] However, you might at least try the following to command to get yourself into Windows: === skydrome is now known as TeLe [23:49] root=(hd0,0) [23:49] chainloader +1 [23:49] benkay86: mind the "set" root... there [23:49] How do i get certain programs to start upon start up, on their own? [23:49] arand: Thank you, that should be "set root=(hd0,0)" [23:50] is there a space after chainloader? [23:50] benkay86: partitions start with 1 in grub2 [23:50] osmosis_: its a dummy ssl cert called snakeoil [23:50] benkay86: and (hd0,1) [23:50] Arg, why must they change everything! Indeed, it would be (hd0,1) since devices still inexplicably count up from 0. [23:51] yeah, seems odd to me too [23:51] how do I get the POSIX programmers man pages for section 2 and 3? (so I can do 'man select' or 'man fork') [23:51] In fact, I think in GRUB2 you could do it all in one command: chainloader (hd0,1)+1 [23:51] am i in grub 2...? rofl sorry i know nothing about linux [23:51] arand: this is what i get http://imagebin.org/83080 [23:51] i accidentally change one of my mame keyboard keys that is really important, now i cant get into the mame configuration. does anyone know where the default sdlmame keyboard config file is?" [23:51] oh what is snakeoil, well , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snake_oil [23:51] trism, arand: You don't happen to know of a place where the GRUB2 commands are, you know, documented or something? [23:52] benkay86: actually it co-relates well with the sda# notation so in that sense it's ok, still pretty weird to have two diff counters in one designation... [23:52] ohh wow, looks like that one flew over some heads [23:52] apollo8: Indeed, you are using GRUB2. Try the following command to get into Windows: [23:52] chainloader (hd0,1)+1 [23:53] benkay86: Thereäs always ubottus !grub2, and the official grub wiki... [23:53] nothing happened [23:53] no error or anything [23:53] benkay86: http://grub.enbug.org/CommandList has the list of commands, but it is unfortunately still incomplete [23:53] Apollo: Try pressing "b" on the keyboard as well. === TeLe is now known as skydrome [23:54] howdy folks -> i got this error message three times when i was logging in on ubuntu 9.10 ... ... -> Das Panel ist beim Laden von »OAFIID:GNOME_TSClientApplet« auf ein Problem gestoßen. <- ... it means something like "The panel found a problem while loading »OAFIID:GNOME_TSClientApplet«" ... ... and then the question -> Do you want to delete the applet out from your configuration? ... ... what should i do? [23:54] b is an unknown command [23:54] trism, arand: The CommandList on the wiki lists all the commands, but has documentation for none of them. [23:54] bye [23:54] How do i get certain programs to start upon start up, on their own? ubuntu 9.10 [23:54] cookta2012: Ah, using xubuntu, then I'm afraid I don't know. [23:54] rahduke, not sure about sdlmame, but might want to check out ~/.xmame/xmamerc <- no keyboard mapping by the looks of it though [23:54] benkay86: that was what I meant by incomplete [23:55] trism, arand: Does either of you know what sequence of commands might induce GRUB2 to chainload? I'm faily certain apollo8's Windows partition is on /dev/sda1. [23:55] ZykoticK9: yea i cant find it anywhere, i've found joystick config files for specific games but not the master config file [23:55] Santisnight: after logging in? [23:55] acicula, yes [23:55] Santisnight: preferences->startup applications [23:56] rahduke, i've used mame for a long time, and I've always used the TAB key to change keyboard buttons -- best of luck man [23:56] acicula, ah, ok [23:56] yay for crowded chatrooms... hah [23:56] benkay86: I do know that my Vista-chainlod looks like this: http://pastebin.com/m7ffc65cd [23:56] apollo: its fairly quiet tbh :) [23:56] ZykoticK9: i changed the tab key to config with my gamepad, but it ended it up setting it to none... then i accidently closed mame === arooni__ is now known as arooni-mobile [23:56] and now i cant get back to the tab menu [23:56] i'd hate to be here during happy hour... [23:57] apollo8: It's always happy hour here. [23:57] benkay86: so maybe the insmod ntfs is missing? [23:57] noob question: how do i find out how much free space i have on my ext4 partition? [23:57] arand: My thoughts exactly. [23:57] tomatoes7: df -h [23:57] happy hour? i'm starting to get pissed actually.... hah [23:58] arand: Do you happen to know the syntax required to get "search" to look for a file like GRUB's find? [23:58] Youtube Videos tend to lag behind the audio, and its gotten a bit annoying, how can this be fixed? Google Chromium [23:58] apollo8: Sorry, you're not the only one who's a bit annoyed that Ubuntu decided to switch to a bootloader with poor documentation. [23:58] tomatoes7: nautilus will also show the free space if you select your partition [23:59] Santisnight, tried youtube with html5? www.youtube.com/html5 to turn feature on/off [23:59] apollo8: From the top, please try these three commands. After entering the third, you should end up booting windows. [23:59] ZykoticK9, no but i will. [23:59] insmod ntfs [23:59] set root=(hd0,1) [23:59] benkay86: This pretty much says it all (NOT!):http://grub.enbug.org/search
