[00:00] chainloader +1 [00:00] arand: That would be funny if GRUB2 weren't the default bootloader. [00:00] benkay86: Otherwise http://grub.enbug.org/CommandList seems to have some doc for most of the commands [00:01] arand: It just points to the documentation from legacy GRUB. [00:01] nothing... [00:02] apollo: OK. Let's try pressing Escape to go back to the menu. Could you please remind me what options are there? === Andrew_ is now known as Guest27059 [00:02] ZykoticK9, that worked thanks! :D [00:02] the title is GNU GRUB version 1.97~beta4 the options are as follows: [00:03] benkay86: ah, right.. [00:03] Can anyone help me with a sound issue? [00:03] * mado will wait then [00:03] ubuntu, linux 2.6.31-14-generic the next option is that with (recovery mode) after it [00:03] mado: still on that applet problem ?

Rebooting with default parms gives me / mounted as ext3 again [00:05] Does anyone have any suggestions for this problem I'm facing? "err:wave:wodPlayer_WriteMaxFrags Error in writing wavehdr. Reason: Resource temporarily unavailable" [00:05] apollo: First off, trying the "recovery" option might just get us somewhere. If that fails, the memtest86 almost always works. If that fails too, then I'm going to go bang my head against a wall. [00:05] Okay. So whenever I leave my computer running for a extended period of time I come back to find that sound wont work at all. I used to close firefox and then do ps aux | grep firefox and kill it again because it wouldnt close for some reason. After that sound comes back when I re open firefox [00:05] now I have moved to chrome... and it wont work again [00:05] and I am tired of rebooting [00:05] What would be the recommended plugin to use for firefox flash? AFAIK, NOT The adobe one, since it.. sucks.. but I want to be able to do pretty much everything with flash like youtube video, and well, all needed for normal browsing.. [00:06] DasEi, yes [00:06] phoenixz: adobe flash [00:06] stuff is happening with recovery mode. a bunch of commands... it stopped at 3.172183 [00:06] jrib: But isnt that the one causing lots of trouble, slow, etc? [00:06] phoenixz: yep [00:06] bioinfolabo: can have a couple of reasons, checked your syslog about alsa and pulseaudio ? [00:07] jrib: yet its the recommended one.. as in, the alternatives suck worse? [00:07] apollo: If it's stuck, could you tell me what the last line says? [00:07] phoenixz: you can try gnash, but it won't run everything you encounter [00:07] Im a linux newbie. Unfortunately I have been sheltered all my life with windows... [00:07] mado : which was it ? (the applet) I tend to delete it, if something is missing, remove --purge gdm from out of x and reinstall it [00:07] where is syslog? [00:08] bioinfolabo: /var/log/syslog [00:08] DasEi, er ... i don't know how to reinstall applets ... plus ... i already miss some applets [00:08] How would I start a second xorg instance and log in as the same user but in a different window manager? [00:08] bioinfolabo, are you killing chrome like you did firefox and audio is not coming back? just clarifying [00:08] Is that even possible? [00:09] bioinfolabo: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && pastebinit /var/log/syslog [00:09] ardchoille: want the easy way or hard way? [00:09] I tried to kill chrome but sound is still nogo [00:09] [ 3.172183] b43-pci-bridge 0000:03:00.0: PCI INT a -> link[AX3A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 [00:09] apollo: What's going on? [00:09] jrib: Easy, to begin with [00:09] thats where it stopped [00:09] ardchoille, that use to be possible - but you need two different users now with GDM [00:09] ardchoille: use gdmflexiserver, it will spawn a new gdm for you to log into. Hit options to change the window manager === monty_boy is now known as montyboy [00:09] does that help? [00:10] ardchoille, if you try with the same user it is going to fail... [00:10] mado: gnome-applets are a collection of the most common ones [00:10] apollo: That's... unusual. What kind of netbook did you say you had? [00:10] hp mini 311 1000nr [00:10] came with win xp installed [00:11] jrib: Ah, cool, I have that installed already for screenshots of gdm [00:11] DasEi, which means? ... i'm sorry ... i'm a beginner [00:11] jrib: curiosity is getting the better of me, what's the hard way? [00:11] i gotta run to cloass [00:11] ardchoille: I haven't used gdmflexiserver in several releases by the way [00:11] ill be back later for help.. [00:11] DasEi also called "apprentice" :) [00:11] ardchoille: use startx with the right options [00:11] mado: try: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm && sudo apt-get install gnome-applets [00:12] apollo: OK. I'm going to look and see if there are any known issues with your netbook. In the meanwhile, could you try rebooting and choosing the "windows vista (loader)" option? Remember, you'll have to press a button (like escape) before GRUB decides to boot the default option. [00:12] kk [00:12] jrib: Ah, thanks very much [00:12] mado: answer the question of your issue to be deleted with yes [00:12] i tried to update my system but i got an E: error. could somone explain??? please help.

Unfortunately, biosdisk creates a Grub-legacy entry: "title BIOS upgrade" "kernel /boot/memdisk" "initrd /boot/biosupdate.img". How does this translate to a Grub2 entry? I tried boot /* and initrd /* but it doesn't work [00:16] how can i check what my sound card is? [00:16] the e.g. "bluetooth" / "network" ones [00:16] apollo: Exactly what do you mean by "failed to start"? [00:16] thats what the first line says [00:16] help? [00:16] ardchoille, since 9.10 i don't think it will allow the same user to log in [00:16] snoopy: lspci or lshw, filter by grep [00:17] apollo: Oh. Well, I suppose that would be faily definitive. [00:17] ZykoticK9: Sounds like a very good security measure [00:17] apollo: Out of curiosity (because it shouldn't matter), did you try to install Ubuntu or the Ubuntu netbook remix? [00:17] benkay86: Here's documentation for search btw: http://imagebin.org/83083 (vbox is convenient;) [00:17] ubuntu [00:17] ardchoille, the GDM setup program that was removed in karmic, had a checkbox to allow it 9.04andearlier [00:18] ZykoticK9: Ah, yeah [00:18] there is a specified file and status [00:18] arand: The other thing that irks me about GRUB2 is that the only way to obtain the information you just got is to reboot. In legacy grub, it was possible to go to the grub prompt simply by running "grub". [00:18] snoopy: lspci | grep audio [00:18] !sound > snoopy [00:18] snoopy, please see my private message [00:18] apollo: What file and status? [00:18] file: \ntldr status:0xc0000225 [00:18] benkay86: indeed.. [00:18] on this page [00:19] E: dpkg was interrupted, u must manually run "sudo-dpkg configure -a to correct the problem. E:_cache->open() failed, please report. [00:19] can anyone help me???? [00:19] renamon: so run it [00:19] i did and it still isnt working. [00:19] renamon: sudo-dpkg configure -a [00:20] you did ? [00:20] yeah and it no working [00:20] arand, apollo: OK, so it looks like GRUB2 is actually working just fine since it is able to load both the Linux kernel and the Windows bootloader. The problem seems to be somewhere later in the boot process. [00:20] 'windows has failed to start. a recent hardware or software change might be the cause. to fix the problem: 1.installtion disk 2.chooselanguage 3. click repair if that doesn't work contact for assistance [00:20] renamon: k, sth. else , (will log you off) : [00:20] ok [00:20] huh?

[00:21] no that would be in the installation disk (which i don't have) [00:21] DasEi: why would renamon need to do that? [00:21] thanks [00:21] apollo: Ah. Yes, I can see how the Windows XP install *CD* wouldn't be very useful here. [00:22] jrib: apt is broken, configure a not working.. [00:22] DasEi, see you later [00:23] next plan of attack? [00:23] you said memory test always works or something... [00:23] now its saying unable to get exclusive lock. what the heck does that mean????? [00:23] renamon: apt has a lock file [00:24] a wat? [00:24] ! compiz [00:24] Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz [00:24] ! compiz | troy [00:24] troy: please see above [00:24] renamon: please try the recovery menu first [00:24] apollo: Yes. Feel free to reboot and try it just for fun. [00:24] and where is that? [00:24] ! compiz | cookta2012 [00:24] cookta2012, please see my private message [00:24] renamon: you need to actually pastebin what you are doing and the output so we know what's going on. [00:24] with serial console or no? what does memtest do? [00:24] renamon: see above lines [00:25] wheres the pastebin!?! [00:25] ... [00:25] apollo: The particular Windows error message you gave me means that the Windows bootloader can't find the file ntldr.exe. [00:25] renamon: paste.ubuntu.com if you want [00:25] apollo: memtest will test your computer's RAM for errors. It's quite harmless to run, since it doesn't touch your hard drive. [00:26] ok so what about ntldr.exe [00:26] apollo: The serial console is useful for computers without monitors, a dilemma you do not have. [00:26] ok [00:26] wat do i need to paste here? [00:27] apollo: As far as I know, the only way to see that error message is if the partition number of your Windows partition was changed, but I don't think that's the case here... [00:27] renamon: the output from sudo apt-get update [00:27] apollo: Moreover, Linux shouldn't freeze on boot without displaying some sort of error message :-( [00:28] i shifted that partition to left using gparted. there was unallocated space before my partition [00:28] nvm it just started to wark. YAYS!!!!! [00:28] apollo: unset the quiet/splash in grub, can have output [00:28] ZykoticK9: And I see that you can't disable the user list in gdm either [00:28] what? [00:28] apollo: Oh, that may actually have caused the problem. [00:28] cool. how to fix? [00:28] DasEi: I believe that's what booting in recovery mode does. [00:29] renamon: the recovery automates some apt-locks, so be fine then [00:29] one more small q. is it possible to have diff backgrounds on diff desktops on the same system? [00:29] DasEi: I recall the last line apollo described was just some IRQ enumeration. Nothing to suggest anything was amiss. [00:30] benkay86: if configured so, recovery halts on an eralier intialisation [00:30] DasEi: What do you mean? [00:30] earlier* [00:30] DasEi, ok ... i'm back ... but it still didn't do the trick ... the applets that were once there when ubuntu was freshly installed still aren't here [00:30] should i try recovery mode again jsut for shits and giggs? [00:30] mado : like which ? [00:30] ardchoille, gdm customization and grub customization or kinda missing in karmic... [00:30] apollo: Sure, DasEi may want to know what the output looks like. [00:31] one more small q. is it possible to have diff backgrounds on diff desktops on the same system? [00:31] ardchoille, s/or/are [00:31] Hi, I'm trying to setup Internet with a usb wireless adapter. I need nidswrapper and the driver RT2870 which is well intalled... I did the command: ndiswrapper -l and I see it, well installed... but I can't see the essid of the wireless ??? [00:31] DasEi, -> the "bluetooth"-one ... ... and e.g. the one that helped me with "LAN / WLAN / etc" [00:31] apollo: As far as getting Windows to boot, you would probably need a Windows rescue/install image. Or to put the Windows partition back at its original offset. [00:31] ot stopped earlier this time [00:31] the module ndiswrapper is loaded too [00:31] could someone help me with a mounting problem? [00:31] apollo: And the last line?

What does that mean? [00:36] apollo: Actually, the line is perfectly innocuous. It's for the nvidia nFORCE ETHerenet Device chipset. [00:36] Klapo: nope. I tend to just use live installs on my flash drive.. last i recall you do the install normally. but at the end you have to tell it the proper place of the usb drive so it installs grub properly. thats all i rember [00:36] !register | andy__ [00:36] andy__: Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname.

[00:50] Zealot, I have no idea is there a way of testing? havent touched the drivers [00:50] well go on the ati website and get the linux drivers for your card [00:51] i am always amazed by how big the texlive stuff is. what is it that takes up so much space? [00:51] and install them [00:51] ive done that, wount install due to incompatible version [00:51] incompatible version? [00:51] did you get the right drivers? [00:51] is anyone free to help? [00:51] because linux is linux [00:51] Good evening, I am looking for some help with getting multiple displays setup in Ubuntu [00:51] the drivers should support 2.6 kernel [00:51] Error: ./default_policy.sh does not support version [00:52] im trying to setup SSL. apache restarts and asks for password correctly. when I try to connect via https, i get connection interrupted error. http continues to work. [00:52] are you sure thats the right script to install [00:52] mado : ? gettting tired, will leave soon : http://tinyurl.com/sx9ke [00:52] that doenst look like an install script [00:52] !who [00:52] 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 :) [00:52] zealot, just following the guide from ATI website [00:52] read the readme that comes with the drivers [00:52] Good evening, I am looking for some help with getting multiple displays setup in Ubuntu, would anyone be familiar with how to set it up? [00:52] sh drivername.run [00:52] hmm [00:53] it might be the shell [00:53] ? [00:53] try bash drivername.run [00:53] instead of sh [00:53] osmosis_: #ubuntu-server or ##httpd would probably be better places to ask that SSL question [00:53] benkay86: looks like an issue with the busclock, run a memtest and lower bios settings [00:53] same error :( [00:53] well i kind of need an OS int the mean time.... [00:53] Error: ./default_policy.sh does not support version [00:53] vadimanri, what is the issue? [00:54] ok [00:54] are you root? [00:54] su to root and do it [00:54] instead of using sudo [00:54] ok [00:54] sudo -i [00:54] never use sudo [00:54] sudo is a security nightmare [00:54] zealot: please stop [00:54] I have a Nvidia G-force card and want to confige it you use 2 LCD's [00:54] echinos, sudo -i for a root terminal [00:54] DasEi: It's apollo's machine. A netbook, so probably not overclocked. What makes you think that? [00:55] no dont use sudo [00:55] all someone has to do is get your user password [00:55] ectraz, and ALWAYS use sudo when possible [00:55] and they have root access [00:55] whereas without sudo [00:55] they have to get both your user password [00:55] zealot: knock it off. >.> [00:55] and your root password [00:55] zealot, stop that. [00:55] zealot: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:55] !op zealot [00:55] what did i do? [00:55] benkay86: the pic, saying unstable clock, had it with a weak ram one time [00:55] zealot, you always use sudo or sudo -i [00:55] zealot: Ubuntu is designed to use sudo, please don't advise people to use root [00:56] ok i dont think you understand [00:56] when you use sudo [00:56] totally unrelated but I must share... http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/8487526.stm [00:56] is there a way to find the install date of my OS, similar to the uptime command. [00:56] is there a simple way to access my EXT3 partition (my Ubuntu 9.10 install) form XP and Win7? [00:56] zealot, it doesnt matter, its the way it is. [00:57] zealot, sudo is made so one does not have to use root, this is the fault Windows systems have, being a root user (admin) all the time hence causing damages [00:57] DasEi: Possible, but I've unstable delta with plenty of normal systems. RAM problem sounds plausible though, I'll ask apollo to run memcheck. [00:57] jeeves_Moss: ext3 will work (not ext4),, google ext2ntfs [00:57] ectraz, any try running that command sudo sh ./default_policy.sh [00:57] DasEi, thanks. [00:58] running memtest86+ [00:58] apollo: Great. Let us know if it turns anything up! [00:58] kai [00:58] jeeves_Moss: there are 3 solutions (fs-drivers) I found to work for ext3, web has them [00:58] DasEi, I have a 300Gb partition on this 500Gb drive that I've got Linux on, and the other 2 OSs have 50Gb each [00:58] DasEi, sorry ... didn't see your message because the chat window was blocked -> ...

(how did you install the drivers, from source? or via restricted drivers [01:00] DasEi but i can't see it in the panel [01:00] as you've muted the only person that was trying to help anyone else have a solution? [01:00] something tells me im not able to speak in a channel of this magnitude [01:01] I was wondering if some one could help point me in the right direction. I have not messed with managing Linux computers in a corporate environment. I am however, very familiar with windows administration tools such as WSUS, Group Policy, Active Dir..etc. Are there similar tools available to help manage several Linux computers, basically tools used to help administrate a linux enviroment? I would like to be able to define what updates can b [01:01] e pushed out, lock down specific things, example apply a business background, map network drives..etc. Can any one supply me some names of some of these tools ect. Any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!! [01:01] is there a way i can run World of warcraft on ubuntu? [01:01] Hyperstream, I am using 9.1.0 and used the source drivers, not the ones from nvidia [01:01] cookta2012: i think you can run it through wine [01:01] cookta2012: yup [01:01] cookta2012, /join #winehq [01:02] vadimanri: whats your issue? [01:02] rahduke, scroll up a little [01:02] hyperstream: easy [01:02] hyperstream: launch it from terminal using sudo [01:02] DasEi, *thinking* [01:02] rahduke, i was refering to vadimanri 's issue, sorry [01:02] hyperstream: so sudo nvidia-settings [01:03] mado: one thing I saw was it getting lost after a dist-upgrade, did you do any recently ? [01:03] vadimanri, there you go, try that sudo nvidia-settings from a terminal (thanks to rahduke) [01:03] Rahduke, I am trying to configure multiple displays, but when I change the settings and activate the second display and try saving the X config file, I get when I go through the Nvidia X server settings window and activate the second display I get a message that says "Failed to parse existing X config file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'!" [01:03] follow my directions [01:04] vadimanri: sudo touch /etc/X11/xorg.conf [01:04] DasEi -> well ... where did you saw that? ... ... and yes i did this "dist-upgrade" some hours ago ... ... "i was told that the "update"-command was "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" -> was i told wrong?" [01:04] can someone help me install nvidia driver on to my geforece 7900 agp? [01:05] mado: right then, try to purge the old config then reinstall [01:05] I tried the 185, and 173 driver but black, now I dont know what to do? === Nightwolf42 is now known as Nightwolf [01:06] mado: sudo apt-get remove --purge network-manager-gnome && sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome [01:06] 1/3 done and no errors yet [01:06] Deviouz: goto http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us download the driver u want [01:06] Deviouz, laptop? [01:06] no I have xubuntu desktop [01:07] drop into terminal, stop gdm 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop' then run the package [01:07] DasEi: Anything besides a RAM hole that could cause a kernel to seize without panicking?

[01:08] join #defocus [01:08] Deviouz: since u are running xfce u prolly have to stop xfce not gdm [01:08] it recomends the 185, but that dont work [01:08] DasEi, ... ok ... typed in your command [01:08] apollo: that just sits there and safemode will also give you no rescue shell/ terminal ? [01:08] DasEi, restart? [01:08] vadimanri: ur didnt do what i said, you followed someone elses directions, just open a terminal and type sudo nvidia-settings [01:09] rahduke: No, Xubuntu uses gdm for it's login manager [01:09] hey do you guys know a way to watch lost online? [01:09] yes I rebooted, but it was just black [01:09] don't have cable [01:09] genii: oh ok sorry then stop gdm deviouz [01:09] haha [01:09] with both drivers, 185, and 173? [01:09] root@XBMCLive:/home/tmp# aticonfig --initial -f [01:09] aticonfig: No supported adapters detected [01:09] mado : to be honest, I'm tired, I had the same issue, it came back itself in the later, was from jaunty to karmic [01:09] wouldnt a reboot be just as good? [01:10] Deviouz: to select the right driver just pick ur card series from the drop downs on http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us [01:10] what antivirus software will work with ubuntu [01:10] !repeat | ectraz [01:10] ectraz: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [01:10] !antivirus [01:10] Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [01:10] DasEi: We tried Alt+F2 to visit a different VT. Usually if init gets stuck it says something -- in this case it doesn't look like init has even started. [01:10] ok I will try [01:10] rahduke, that is what I did, and when I activeate the second display and click on the "save to X Configuration" button, I get the error message saying "Failed to parse existing X config file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'!" [01:10] and then install it, then what do I do if its black again? [01:10] DasEi, *nods slightly* understood ... well ... if you're tired ... then you should go to bed *smiles* [01:10] benkay86: hmm, ctrl+c ? ctrl-alt-delete ? [01:11] vadimanri, how come you didnt use the Restricted hardware drivers? [01:11] DasEi: Tried ctrl-alt-del too. [01:11] rahduke, is there anything more I need to do after install? [01:11] Hyperstream, I am new to Linux and don't really know what I should be doing at this point! [01:11] vadimanri: it works for me, the only reason u should have that error is if u are not able to save the file because u are not root [01:12] rahduke, or he doesnt have a xorg.conf thats parsable :) [01:12] Deviouz: the package will walk u thru the setup, then just reboot and it should work.... [01:12] what if its black? [01:13] This will probably be a stupid question, can someone guide me on installing ATI Restricted Drivers!? [01:13] Deviouz: so what u needa do is drop into console Alt+F2 then stop gdm 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop' then locate ur package and type 'sudo .sh ./NAME OF PACKAGE [01:13] benkay86: next approach is then boot live cd, rebuild initramfs, maybe blacklist that forcedeth, (irq 16 to 22, maybe another device missing then ?) check syslog and maybe more of dmesg [01:13] ectraz, System > Administration > Hardware Drivers [01:13] i dont have a Gui :( [01:14] benkay86: *^ chroot into the hd from live, also check filesystem [01:14] ok, I will try, thanks for the help [01:14] Deviouz: 'sudo service gdm stop' may work also [01:15] Hyperstream is there a way with no GUI ssh access only? [01:15] someone posted an awesome link about conky the other day [01:15] downtime for me , now [01:15] DasEi: Blacklisting might help, although others have reported success with this hardware. fsck unlikely to make a difference as 1) apollo has already reinstalled once and 2) init hasn't been called to mount the fs yet [01:16] Props to UBUNTU! [01:16] shazbotmcnasty: thers dozens of sites with conky scripts/examples [01:16] I know conky well, it's just that there was a really cool setup on the page, I thought it might have been ubottu, but I can't squeeze anything out of him.

So, I checked my free memory. Flash is eating up all my memory. Here is my question, if I were to change the cache size for flash would that reduce the memory it's eating up? Then, if so, how do I go about changing the cache size? [01:31] ok thanks so i need not worry [01:31] gdiz: firefox flash bites it hard, if u have a graphics card get flash 10.1beta with gpu acceleration its better but still not great [01:31] <`mOOse`> gdiz, right click on the video window and choose the little yellow folder along the bottom [01:31] Guest794: User blkid to find the uuid or device identifier for it, then mount it manually. let me know if you need help to do it [01:31] <`mOOse`> there's a slider in there [01:32] Mike_lifeguard: how do I mount it manually [01:32] Guest794, this is storage USB flash drive? how many different drives have you tried? does it work in other pc's ? [01:32] Guest794: sudo mount -t type /dev/id /mount/pt [01:32] rahduke, is that in the repositories and does it work well or is it flakey? [01:33] gdiz: u need to get it from adobe directly, just google flash 10.1 ubuntu and im sure you'll find an easy guide [01:33] 'mOOse' in those options, can I change the cache size there? and does that make sense to do? [01:33] ok, I will play with rahduke, thanks [01:33] *that [01:33] <`mOOse`> yes it makes sense [01:34] <`mOOse`> the read-ahead is only 10k by default [01:34] Mike_ lifeguard: It says, "mount: mount point /mount/pt does not exist" [01:34] gdiz: umm please don't attempt playing with me ;) [01:34] <`mOOse`> you could make it unlimited and then if your internet connection's fast enough you should get better performance [01:34] is there a way from within ubuntu to upgrade from 32 to 64 bit? === ChangeNick is now known as Rap2 [01:34] hyperstream: Yes, All of them, Haven't gotten to try. [01:35] Rap2: no. - reinstall is needed [01:35] rahduke, :-p [01:35] thanks Dr_Willis, will it keep any of the old os, or will it whipe and start fresh? [01:35] thank you both [01:36] Rap2: 'a reinstall is needed' that means you install the 64bit release.. You could move configs to backups/restore them if you wanted. [01:37] Someone follow me on this one: lets say a malicious script is saved as an "image" with an extension of .jpg, couldn't there be a way for gnome to encorporate a feature that tells the user that that file is a Script, and not an image, document, music or video file (as most users automatically open such files without considering of viruses) [01:37] scary [01:37] and the script would ask "Are you sure you want to run this script, it could be harmful to your computer if you do not know what it does" [01:37] something like that [01:37] only at 85%.... [01:38] hi there [01:38] gday, could anyone tell me wether its possible to boot ubuntu at a certain time (by cron i.e.) [01:38] I guess the download page dosent give a choice between 32 and 64 bit, should I just dig around the ftp site? [01:39] dirk__: im not sure but i'd be curious to find out if u are able to boot ur PC remotely. If so how did u do it? [01:39] well, seems like #samba is asleep [01:39] Mike_lifeguard: do you have anything else to tell me? [01:39] dirk__: if ubuntu is off, it is off, there is no way to run ANY computer with any system while its off [01:39] any program* while the system is off [01:40] it worked with windows.... ^^ [01:40] krysis: umm i think u can boot a computer that is off remotely, i dunno how tho [01:40] in what sense dirk__ was your computer completely off? [01:40] try with wake on lan [01:40] WOL, wake on lan [01:40] wake on lan! [01:40] Benkay86? no errors :( [01:40] wol works if the system is completely shut off? [01:40] thats it, i was trying to think of that all day yesterday [01:41] so [01:41] that would be a hardware feature would it not? [01:41] krysis: yes [01:41] krysis: it works as long as there is lan and power plug in, so ive heard [01:41] well hibernate to hdd would be ok [01:41] but thats the same thing in that case isnt it? [01:41] Benkay you there? [01:41] krysis: WOL is a BIOS feature [01:42] krysis: that feature has been in BIOSs since....well a LONG time [01:42] thats rigght [01:42] Guest794: dunno ... did you mount it ok? get stuck with the command to mount it ...? [01:42] I've never actually come across WOL [01:42] Mike_lifeguard: Yes [01:42] Guest794: yes to which question? [01:42] quick question, I have a php page on my site that used to be served fine through apache2 but suddenly, clicking the link just sits on receiving data, without ever serving the page... can anyone think of why this might have happened? [01:42] anyone got an updated WOL guide for 9.10? [01:43] but i dont wanna wake on lan, i wanna wake on cron do u guys know anything about that? [01:43] Mike_lifeguard: I got stuck with the command to mount it. [01:43] wol doesnt have anything to do with the OS [01:43] any one knows how to jump the windows firewall?? [01:43] krysis: it's a pretty neat feature and even a bunch of devices support it now, you can even have u'r router wake u'r computers now (with DD-WRT) [01:43] armando: ask in #windows [01:43] Guest794: ok, could you paste the output of blkid to p.defau.lt for me? [01:43] lol [01:43] apollo: Sorry, still here. [01:43] OzzmanNT: i was running DD-WRT for a while, never got that to work tho [01:43] alright no errors [01:43] ahhh, yes i've herad of DD-WRT, very interesting... [01:44] yes, a DD-WRT router could wake a computer at certain time [01:44] rahduke, the solution to vadimanri 's xorg nvidia issue was running: sudo nvidia-xconfig :) [01:44] Mike_lifeguard: I type blkid and it comes out with nothing [01:44] rahduke: WOL i've found to be very iffy on working with all computers [01:44] hyperstream: lol... [01:44] i suk [01:44] Guest794: try doing 'sudo blkid' then? [01:44] (Assuming you have sudo access) [01:44] OzzmanNT: so its a pain to setup? [01:45] i don't know what else to do i ahve linux mint ready to be booted from a different usb if all else fails... i just need an os for school tomorrow. [01:45] dirk__: you have to understand that once a computer is turned off it has no control over an operating system (such as ubuntu) the system is turned to BIOS, and unless your bios supports some sort of timer to turn on (unless its wake on lan) it cannot be done from the operating system level [01:45] apollo: So, my guess is you'd like to have XP back since I really don't know what the problem with Linux is. [01:45] rahduke: well WOL in DD-WRT works but some machines seem to work differently, don't ask me why, i guess it's a BIOS thing, 150 computers and only half will WOL [01:45] Is there a way to export the package list in Synaptic so you can import it to another install? [01:45] Mike_lifeguard: where is "p.defau.lt" [01:45] apollo: Although I suppose you could try installing the netbook remix just for shits. [01:45] Guest794: http://p.defau.lt [01:46] .msg ubottu clone [01:46] thats a good idea. [01:46] OzzmanNT: jus got a new router, maybe ill slap DD-WRT on it and give it a WORL [01:46] !clone > sysdoc [01:46] sysdoc, please see my private message [01:46] dirk__: also if windows does it then it must use wake on lan [01:46] rahduke: either use that or tomato both are awesome, and you can get more power out of the router, linksys i assume? [01:46] hmmmm, in windows i was able to add a schedule task to wake it up [01:46] wow, still 680 mb? [01:47] didnt have to go to the bios [01:47] Mike_lifeguard: okay, now what? [01:47] well windows might have communicated with the bios... dirk__ [01:47] Is this #ubuntu? [01:47] boss_mc, woot! [01:47] OzzmanNT: whats tomato? yes its linksys, but when i ran DDWRT on my last router i didnt notice a difference [01:47] jea, could be [01:47] Guest32569: give me the link so I can see what you pasted [01:47] sysdoc: w00t indeed, and more importantly.... sleep time! [01:48] I hope this is a good place to ask this question. I just installed Ubuntu as a dual boot with my development machine. I installed 9.1 64-bit. When it boots, I get to a grub shell(?), not any kind of GUI at all. Did my install fail? Do I need to do something to get a GUI up? [01:48] im afraid i can't help you with this dirk__ [01:48] krysis: your giving out bunk info man [01:48] hola [01:48] so that probably was my question.... can ubuntu communicate with the bios [01:48] but thx for ur help, ill search around a bit more [01:48] well rahduke do you have a solution? [01:48] dirk_: its probably a special function in the bios [01:48] thx anyway krysis [01:49] no, and im keepin my mouth shut about it [01:49] Hi, could someone help me? I have googled the heck out of this problem with no avail. [01:49] u should too [01:49] rahduke: tomato is like DD-WRT (kinda) but it's more advanced [01:49] hi, i like to use a dispatcher script for networkmanger to connect automat to a vpn. i use the version from http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/NetworkManager/Dispatcher i modified the name but it does not work normal vpn is ok.. what can i do? [01:49] OzzmanNT: lol DD-WRT was complicated enough [01:49] as far as i knew i didn't know computers could turn on from shut down rahduke, everyone learns a little something too, you should learn some manners [01:49] Whenever I open synaptic package manager, It says i have 3 broken packages on my system, how do i fix that? [01:49] I'm trying to mount an .iso and every time I try, I get this error: "An error occured [01:49] wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0, missing codepage or helper program, or other error [01:49] In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try [01:50] dmesg | tail or so" Doesn't matter if I use gmount-iso or the mount command. [01:50] rahduke: ok well stay away from tomato lol [01:50] myshirwm: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:50] Sorry [01:50] krysis: im not here to argue, but when i dont try to help ppl without sufficient info...thats good manners [01:50] *but i dont try to help [01:50] apollo: As far as getting Windows to work, you will need some sort of bootable USB image to work with. I don't think Microsoft makes one available officially, but I suspect you can find something on Google. You'll want to use some combination of the commands chkdsk, bootcfg, and fixboot. [01:51] alright. i'll figure something out [01:51] thanks a bunch though [01:52] Guest32569: Describe this screen you get when booting? (btw, 9.1 doesn't exist - that's 9.10, the 0 is significant in version numbers) [01:52] Does anyone have any ideas about my iso problem? [01:52] apollo: Good luck! I'm sorry I wasn't able to figure out what was going wrong. [01:52] what is the expose like thing for compiz called? [01:52] Guest32569: and did you successfully paste that output to p.defau.lt? [01:52] trevor its called scale! [01:53] thanks rahduke [01:53] its sick! [01:53] indeed [01:53] trevor: #compiz exists, if you need more help on that [01:54] any suggestions for mounting an iso that returns an error? [01:54] Sorry, 9.10... It reminds me of a Unix command line shell. There are two words seperated by a '/' character, and the last word is grub. typing help listed several commands I could try, but i gigured I'd probably break something. Anyway, I'm just wondering whether this is normal, or should I expect to see a GUI? The install led me to believe I'd end up with a GUI [01:55] Guest32569: yeah, that's not right - but I'm no expert, you'll need help from someone else for that :( [01:55] myshirwm: whats the error [01:55] nickserv help [01:55] guys can some one help me register ?:| [01:56] hi [01:56] rahduke: "An error occured wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so" [01:56] OK. at least I know it isn't the norm...

I'm trying to install Kubuntu 9.10 i386 onto a partition that has data on it already... it's a 100GB ext3 partition. During the partition setup of the graphical install, I told it to size the partition to 90GB and change it to ext4, without formatting... [02:17] everything was gone... so I tried to reverse it by telling it to set the size back to 100GB and the partition to ext3... still nothing....

[02:28] hatebred: you can dig through alsa git and see if your codec ssid is in pci/hda/patch_.c yet [02:28] does anyone have any suggestions about mounting an iso so that it's visible in nautilus? [02:28] so it seems to me, you broke something. [02:28] hatebred: if it is, thatd reveal a workaround. if it's not... then no. [02:28] anyone know of a good irc channel to visit about network and wireless security? [02:28] `mOOse`: bah... thanks [02:28] maco, Ill start there [02:29] <`mOOse`> anytime you resize (without LVM) yer PT is reset [02:29] eddym, sorry - guess you weren't part of the discussion -- sorry [02:29] Does anyone know wyh mysql x86_64 is throwing an os error when I'm trying to allocate 3G ram to innodb, when I'm running ubuntu x86_64..? [02:29] hatebred: well really im assuming you have an HDA chip. do you? [02:29] `mOOse`: how come MS can resize then? [02:29] <`mOOse`> since when? [02:29] How would I pull the info? [02:30] hatebred: less /proc/asound/card0/codec#0 [02:30] <`mOOse`> not and keep data [02:30] ZykoticK9, np [02:30] hatebred: first line tells you what the basic codec you're using is, to know which .c to look in [02:30] well not natively... 3rd party apps can... Acronis Disk Director and Partition magic off the top of my head [02:30] can resize and keep data [02:30] <`mOOse`> partition magic can do it - but not native windows [02:31] hatebred: then the "Subsystem Id:" line will give you a long hex number like 0x10438284 [02:31] <`mOOse`> right [02:31] Ive used vista to resize ntfs and keep data.. (i think it was vista) [02:31] hatebred: in the case of my laptop, you'd look for "1043" in that file and see if there's anywhere that shows "8284" next to it.. but ya know, use your numbers [02:31] I suppose I should've used the tried and true method of Hirens. I don't know why I didn't.. figured that would be something simple enough for Kubuntu's installer to handle [02:31] <`mOOse`> if you didn't set up your system initially with LVM (which MS also uses by default) then your sol I think [02:31] anyone? :-( [02:31] <`mOOse`> oh, bad decision :-) [02:32] sadly [02:32] oh well === zz_FeiRuoWa is now known as FeiRuoWa [02:32] uhm [02:32] ms uses lvm? >: [02:32] <`mOOse`> logical volume managers can be resized easily [02:32] hatebred: then see what quirk name is listed at the end of that line (all caps). then look for that quirk name (all caps) elsewhere where it'll be mapped to a lowercase name.

[02:34] LVM? [02:34] <`mOOse`> xubuntu? [02:34] kubuntu [02:34] <`mOOse`> I don't know [02:34] <`mOOse`> ask in there [02:34] heh [02:34] <`mOOse`> I'm not sure the gui install gives you the option [02:35] its useful to install /home on another partition [02:35] <`mOOse`> I know in suse, yast can do it with partimage [02:35] is there a way to delete old ssid and password history in ubuntu [02:35] <`mOOse`> but I'm not sure about kubuntu [02:35] I should look into lvm... I've seen a lot of talk about it but never actually did any research into it [02:35] krysis: eh. only if you're afraid one partition will corrupt and the other won't. since ubuntu's installer supports keeping /home when doing a clean install, the old usefulness is a bit moot [02:35] is it worth the time and effort? [02:36] <`mOOse`> xbuntu has what they call an "alternate install" iso that has a text-based install that you definitely can === ubuntu is now known as lacita [02:36] other than for the sake of just the knowledge that is [02:36] <`mOOse`> yes, it's quite handy [02:36] <`mOOse`> you can dynamically adjust your partitions [02:36] Ive gotten where i just keep my partion layout more and more simple. :) [02:36] <`mOOse`> yes, that's the best way! [02:36] I'm used to text based... I used to run Debian only so I'm good on that front [02:37] but it helps that i have like 4 hard drives.. one for /, one for /home [02:37] and so on. [02:37] Anybody know much about formatting partitions using parted? [02:37] <`mOOse`> I'm really liking xbuntu so far [02:37] heh.. I use 4 partitions... / /tmp /home swap [02:37] lacita: parted partions.. you then format using the proper commands [02:37] <`mOOse`> except for the little clonezilla fiasco the other night (which I'm not rebuilding because of) [02:37] guest4127145: i got /home on its own hard drive. :) not juist its own partition [02:37] Dr_Willis: sdc1 has been set up, but I can't get it formatted to "Dell Utility" using parted. I can do it in fdisk, but the problem is that fdisk doesn't support GUID Partition Tables (gpt) which is what I formatted the disk to so that I could have a sexy storage partition over 2TB in size. [02:38] yeah that's the best way to do it [02:38] can banshee play m4a files? [02:38] lacita: no idea. Ive never needed to use gpt. and i tend to just 'remove' dell utility partitions [02:38] Hi. according to " http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=291926 " my pppoe-server configuration is OK. but how to add user password in /etc/ppp/pap-secerte, I edit and added user name and passwods as mention in this url, but not working, but when i did that with command, like "adduser userlogin" So then its working, in this each user have dir in /home/ also, what is the properway to add users in pppo-server, [02:39] <`mOOse`> dsl is such a pita [02:39] <`mOOse`> I would hate dealing with that [02:39] maco I found this line: SND_PCI_QUIRK(0x103c, 0x30cf, "HP DV9533EG", CXT5045_LAPTOP_HPSENSE), [02:39] Dr_Willis: I am using a Dell box with RAID. If the Dell Utility partition is removed or corrupted, the RAID simply won't start. I know... [02:39] hatebred: great! ok so look for CXT5045_LAPTOP_HPSENSE elsewhere in that file [02:39] is there an app or a way to create a bootable winxp install on a flash drive? only solutions I've found so far are windows programs [02:40] <`mOOse`> default-nick, no [02:40] default-nick: ive only seen windows tools. [02:40] default-nick, theres a live cd that can do it, i dont remember what its called [02:40] Ive seen premade usb images.. but those are not legal. :) or trustworthy [02:40] <`mOOse`> I stand corrected... [02:41] hey `mOOse` [02:41] thats what I figured. thanks. [02:41] dr willis: how do you "burn" an image to a flash drive? [02:41] do LVM's have to be setup before the rest of the partitions or is it something you can do on the fly? [02:42] Hi... [02:42] hatebred: ok found: [CXT5045_LAPTOP_HPSENSE] = "laptop-hpsense", [02:42] <`mOOse`> howdy bleepbloop [02:42] hatebred: so now you edit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf [02:42] <`mOOse`> you can set them up afterwards guest [02:43] Dr_Willis: how do you "burn" an image to a flash drive?

If I want to later use the other partition, is this fairly drama free to do? [02:49] jsoft: yeah, it should be pretty drama-free. [02:49] moose: yea.. i see that now .. I guess I'll have to reboot into that old xp partition I have on that old 15g drive [02:49] hi everybody [02:49] <`mOOse`> there's really no method I'm aware of default-nick [02:49] how can i disable anti-aliasing in chrome browser? my os is xubuntu. thanx!

[03:56] phong_, whats your question? [03:56] I assume it might, since networking shouldn't be too affected, but I dunno [03:56] Your wifi is not related with gdm [03:56] currently i have vlc 1.0.2 there is an update 1.0.5 [03:56] my other machine was fine, but it's a wired connection [03:56] i want the updated one ,,, [03:56] quirkly, there is a nice tutorial for setting up wireless from command line, let me just track it down [03:56] Quirkly: i's /etc/rc.something, then you gointo the folder for runlevel 5 maybe /etc/something/rc.5? then you rename S.gdm to K.gdm...i'm not using ubuntu so i dont know exactly but thats the jist of what you have to do [03:57] Quirkly: GDM has nothing to do with your networking [03:57] phong_: Do 'sudo apt-get upgrade' at a terminal [03:57] arghh2d2, if my next attempt fails, I'll dig further, I found a bunch of Rc stuff [03:57] ubuntufish; inthe repository only see 1.0.2 [03:57] hi id like some help with karmic [03:57] i had karmic up and running with grub 2 [03:57] when i installed fedora which had grub 1 [03:57] now karmic doesnt boot [03:57] im not interested in having grub 2 [03:57] zubin71: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:57] is there anyway i can boot in2 karmic from the older grub? [03:57] please help [03:57] arghh2d2, what I meant, was would the wireless be started up by something started in the X environment, or would it have started befoer.... [03:57] worst case is I just gotta reinstall the whole system again lol [03:58] phong-, im going to need more info than that [03:58] zubin71: I think your fedora knocked out karmic [03:58] Quirkly: good question. [03:58] macbookuser: i did it....i still see vlc 1.0.2 [03:58] ubuntuFish, no rush on that tutorial, I have a funny feeling it wouldn't help me too much anyways, this machine has refused to do anything sensible or according to instructions [03:58] I can't get GNU Parted to install...

[03:59] onil: What blinking LED [03:59] Quirkly: worst case senario is that you type "startx" or "gdm" and you'r right back in your gui with network manager running [03:59] Hey guys. I need a hand. System keeps telling me I'm low on disk space, but I'm not. [03:59] quirkly, just in case, here is http://www.stoltenow.com/archives/2006/12/ubuntu_configur.html also if its being stopud, you might want to reinstall, but im guessing u hav tried that [03:59] MacBookUser : nah , i still can see the files intact when i mount the other partition from fedora [04:00] mackbookuser: help please [04:00] ubuntufish [04:00] phong_: Will be with you in one sec [04:00] ubuntufish: all i want is to have vlc player 1.0.5 [04:00] hello [04:00] phong_, sorry, no idea. :( but, there are a lot of experts on this channel, hope you can find a solution :) good luck [04:00] MacBookUser: any progress??

[04:20] whatever. i was just curious. everything about your little distro sucks anyway. [04:20] well mythbuntu is on topic then, just needing to know if that's a godd option for htpc [04:20] arch for life!! [04:20] ElTimo, that language is not necessary [04:20] hi guys, I have a question [04:20] ben_, that is one, there is also xbmc [04:21] Hi, I have a dual-boot setup and I'm using the Nvidia restricted X drivers with the "twin view" option enabled. I have a problem where full-screen applications always get displayed half-and-half, with one half on the left and another on the right. Is there a way to tell X (or the NVidia drivers) to only display full-screen apps on just one screen? [04:21] thanks bazhang [04:21] ben_, there is a ppa for it if you wish [04:21] I need to recompile the kernel with the option: CONFIG_MTRR_SANITIZER_ENABLE_DEFAULT=1 [04:21] TheMusicGuy: One solution is to use compiz which seems to be able to detect this for you and correct it [04:21] can I change that without recompiling [04:21] sure [04:21] TheMusicGuy: one of the options in nvidia-settings might give you what you want [04:22] is there anyway to skin xfce's panels? they aren't being affected when i choose a new theme [04:22] this is the output of zgrep -i mtrr /proc/config.gz : [04:22] CONFIG_MTRR=y [04:22] CONFIG_MTRR_SANITIZER=y [04:22] CONFIG_MTRR_SANITIZER_ENABLE_DEFAULT=0 [04:22] CONFIG_MTRR_SANITIZER_SPARE_REG_NR_DEFAULT=1 [04:22] AMAM: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[04:23] bah, no one answers there, was hoping i could get someone here, alright thanks anyway [04:23] TheMusicGuy: in System>Admin>Nvidia Settings .. if it's not there then sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings [04:24] How might I move the contents of a folder including hidden files and folders into the current directory using terminal. I've tried "mv folder/* ." but that does not move the hidden folders.// [04:24] rich97: mv -r dir newdir [04:24] the "-r" option [04:25] Izinucs: I don't see anything in nvidia-settings about full screen. [04:26] looks like, I won't get any answer for my question here [04:26] alright, so that was hilarious [04:26] AMAM: mv: invalid option -- 'r' [04:26] anyone know how to format a Dell Utility partition on a drive with a gpt partition table type? [04:26] AMAM what you trying to do [04:26] sorry I'm stupid [04:26] that's only for rm not mv [04:26] TheMusicGuy: It's been a couple of years since I looked at nvidia-settings.. sorry I don't know how to guide you here. [04:27] Izinucs: Hm, I see. Do you know if it has anything to do with "metamodes"? [04:27] My problem isn't it's not moving the folders it's that it's not moving folders and files with the '.' prefix. [04:28] You know how when you move your mouse to the corner of the screen and all the windows arrange them selves neatly for you to select one, What is that called? And how do you enable it? [04:28] can I get a one-on-one 9.1 help please [04:28] have u tried mv dir/.* [04:28] think43: are you talking about the box with the squares [04:28] mv dir . will do it [04:28] does it fine here [04:29] mrpink57, no, I mean, that mac osx type feature. You move you mouse to the top left corner, and all the windows arrange neatly on the screen, to see all the windows you have open [04:29] Quirkly: did you get your box to boot to console? [04:29] think43: I think that is a comopiz type feature [04:29] TheMusicGuy: possibly.. there's a couple of things going on.. one is the size of "x" which could be a measurement of both monitors resolutions combined.. that's how it stretches across both.. then there's the limitation of the actual size of each monitor.. google for help with "xrandr" and "xrandr dual monitor ubuntu" that might shed some light on the situation [04:29] think43: you can use gnome-shell for that or compiz has a feature that does that [04:30] bazhang, does xbmc support blu ray? [04:30] arghh2d2, yea, obliterated gdm [04:30] although in retrospect, xubuntu-desktop was all that needed to go [04:30] hello. I have the most bizzare issue: I don't know what you'd call it but during startup and shut down of both the livecd and an install on the HP workstation I'm using, the system will hang until I press a key or move the mouse [04:30] Quirkly: you still have networking? [04:30] HOWEVER, arghh2d2 my suspicious about the wireless were confirmed [04:30] no, didn't [04:30] Izinucs: Okay, I'll try that. Thank you. [04:30] think43: here on my OpenSUSE, it's called "Scale: initiate window picker" [04:30] Ubuntu 9.10 has composing including, you don't have to go install compiz yourself. But I don't know how to change the settings [04:30] got on from other computer, then forgot to just manually run startx, which then kicked the wireless in right away [04:31] AMAM, yep, that what I wanted, thanks [04:31] Quirkly: you could switch to netcfg or wicd instead of network manager [04:31] so yeah, now just reading how to connect to wireless via commandline [04:31] ???? k, you just about lost me there, lol [04:31] but umm....yeah lemme check stuffs out [04:32] Quirkly: netcfg is for wireless wpa connections from command line...wicd has an ncurses interface [04:32] I can handle ncurses interface, installing now [04:32] wicd has regular gui too [04:32] anyone here know if xbmc supports blu ray? [04:32] Please help me. When I start up I get this: "fsck from util-linux-ng 2.16 /dev/sda1: clean 148406/3596288 files, 848523/14374150 blocks" what does that mean and how do i fix it [04:32] http://xbmc.org/wiki/?title=XBMC_for_Linux_specific_FAQ#Does_XBMC_for_Linux_support_Blu-ray_or_HD_DVD_playback_with_or_without_menus.3F ben_ seems no [04:33] how do you add a user to a system so that they have read write access to the smaba share but nothing else? [04:33] thank you again [04:33] ardchoille: If I simply do "mv dir ." then it complains the dir is the same as ./dir. The problem isn't with moving the files it's that the * wildcard ignores hidden files. I'm trying to do this: "mv dir/* ."

[04:35] Fauntix: it's a disk check utility. [04:36] Fauntix, nothing's wrong [04:36] @lacita: ok how do i fix it [04:36] its just a disk check my startup always does a fsck.jfs [04:36] mrpink57, yeah true [04:36] but mine freezes and doesnt move [04:36] Fauntix, unless it says disk error don't worry about it [04:36] rich97: mv ./dir/* . [04:36] Fauntix: I don't think you do... It may signal a potential corruption in youre hard drive... [04:37] ??? [04:37] ardchoille: Yeah, that's what I was doing.

Anyone here know how to boot into ubuntu in safe graphic mode? [04:51] Quirkly: irssi ftw! [04:51] mrpink57: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/how-do-i-move-hidden-files-188367 It appears the only way is to tar and extract again. [04:51] arghh2d2 that's the one I might've been looking for [04:51] Quirkly: irssi [04:51] awesome [04:51] thanks :) [04:51] Quirkly; irssi, bitchx, epic4, xchat-text [04:51] also arghh2d2 the wicd thing is what did the trick [04:51] is xchat-text even around anymore?

[04:52] i've heard things about something called weechat [04:52] rich97: maybe try a symbolic link to the file to the other dir lol [04:52] i'm all about cli apps [04:52] I'm trying to install a .deb package, however it told me that I already had a package in use (because I pressed Ctrl+C on "sudo apt-get install patch"). So I gave up & just rebooted. Still getting the error when trying to install the .deb package, any ideas? [04:53] does anyone have a clue wat im talking about [04:54] HOLY DAMN FLASHY STUFF [04:54] lol [04:54] and colours, yay [04:55] jimisrvrox: damn, that looks rough [04:55] eyeah [04:55] I'm trying to install a .deb package, however it told me that I already had a package in use (because I pressed Ctrl+C on "sudo apt-get install patch"). So I gave up & just rebooted. Still getting the error when trying to install the .deb package, any ideas? [04:56] this damn rt2500 has been a problem for me ever since 8.04! [04:56] jimisrvrox: do you have the ethernet plugged in? [04:56] gdebi package [04:56] jimisrvrox: do you live in an English speaking country? [04:56] yeah right now [04:56] hi, would anyone be able to help me setting up the qtorrent webui? [04:56] mrpink57: I would but I'm trying to make an install readme, git clone clones the folders into a subdirectory with the name of the repository. I'm trying to come up with a single comment that will clone and then take all of the files out of the git created subdirectory and place them in the current directory. [04:56] well to me that stuff is wingdings [04:56] Linux-CLI: gdebi package [04:56] !pm | lacita [04:56] lacita: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [04:57] jimisrvrox: rt2500 is supposed to have builtin support but it used to be used with ndiswrapper and i'm sure you could still use that [04:57] it'll install any .deb package well [04:57] yeah supposed to but meh..not a big fan of ndis.. [04:57] does any one here have experience with ubuntu on a ps3 [04:57] arghh2d2: mind if I pm? [04:57] jimisrvrox: n/p [04:57] lacita: I told you in the other channel I am not interested in helping you. do not msg me again. thank you [04:57] Baloo: what you trying to do just stream media? [04:58] Does anybody know how to set up a network bridge? [04:58] o [04:58] k [04:58] IdleOne: That's the spirit. [04:58] hi [04:59] x starts up fine [04:59] rich97: I asked in the Gentoo IRC and they said all files under the mv command should move hidden also. Do you lack permissions? [04:59] Question: Installed Vega Strike, it runs just fine if I execute the binary from within it's folder (So I assume the problem isn't with the program itself), but if I set up a gnome link, even directly to that same binary, it fails to load...any ideas on how to fix it? [04:59] Baloo1:what are you trying to do with your ps3? [04:59] mrpink57: Nope it's in my home directory. ~/Webroot to be precise [04:59] gvj: you're back. [04:59] mrpink57, arghh2d2, whichever one of you it was, x starts up fine. [05:00] Anybody? Network bridge? Help? [05:00] hey guys..can anyone suggest some lightweight browser [05:00] transonic: You mean you don't like Firefox? Heretic. :p [05:00] NoTownKasper: perhaps it only likes running from within it's own folder...possibly make a script to cd to that folder, and then run it? [05:00] there are none. Chrome is pretty fast. [05:00] yeah maybe play some emus and type papers wen i need too im on an sdtv [05:00] transonic: There's Epiphany. [05:00] rich97: is the hold folder chmod 777? [05:00] @lacita ya i am back [05:00] transonic: Don't know much about it, though. [05:00] whole [05:00] gvj: any luck [05:00] ? [05:00] Quirkly: That would be a little out of my league without a walkthrough...know of one? [05:00] why did my sound suddenly stop working! [05:01] Thatguyoverthere: hmm..will try it [05:01] Baloo1:I don't really know more than how to just stream media movies/music if that's what you're looking to do I would suggest Ushare [05:01] NoTownKasper: a script would be a text file, .sh, with a couple commands, cd /path/to/file and then ./filename to run it [05:01] don't know any walkthroughs offhand, but the last step after saving that file, would be to chmod +x [05:01] to make it run [05:01] how to add extra places menu in 'Places'? [05:01] mrpink57: No a couple of the files in .git folder only have read permissions but it should still be able to copy should it not? [05:01] wats ushare [05:01] Hrm, worth a try, I'll give it a whirl. [05:01] then umm, yeah, just run it I guess......I'm just guessing not sure if that's the problem or not [05:02] Does anybody know how to set up a network bridge? Come on! [05:02] it's the first thing I'd try, given what you said about the situation, that's all [05:02] mrpink57: Also it is able to copy if I don't use your cp command. Otherwise it gives me a permission error. [05:02] Baloo1:it's software used to stream media from your pc to your ps3 [05:02] rich97: well I think you are going to need full permission to move unless you put a sudo ahead of it. However that will give full permission to root once moved not the user. [05:04] ... [05:04] Quirkly: just to make sure I have syntax correct, (1st line) cd ~/vegastrike-0.5.0/bin/ (2nd line) ./vegastrike-32 [05:05] Hey guys, I have some TOR questions. [05:05] I have a wireless usb dongle right now - lsusb detects it but I have no idea how to use it as a wireless device; any ideas? [05:05] yeah NoTownKasper that should work, if you want, test it in a terminal window first [05:05] I find it easier to edit/change file modes via terminal anyways, but that's just me [05:05] I found a thread (rather dated) and followed its instructions to use TOR with privoxy and Firefox. [05:05] ninguem falar portugues? [05:05] But how do I know when TOR is working? [05:06] ok cool my issue is tho that my windows cut off and i cant resize them so i can manage them im on JJ [05:06] ok, ubuntu is really awesome [05:06] Fancycakes: Find one of the dozen or so different "What is my IP" types of websites and check to see if your IP is being masked. [05:06] They got the latest and configured up good [05:06] arghh2d2, x runs [05:07] transonic: midori, netsurf, surf [05:07] Fancycakes: I do not know what TOR is but I assume it is a process you can just type top in CLI and see all processes [05:07] Okay, does anybody know anything about Firestarter? I'm trying to use it for internet connection sharing. [05:07] Fancycakes: http://check.torproject.org/ or https://check.torproject.org/ [05:07] ima: X runs from startx? [05:07] yes [05:07] rich97: I just checked you need at least write permissions [05:07] mrpink57: TOR encrypts your internet transmission [05:08] so, is learning emacs a worthy endeavour, or asking for a headache? [05:09] I'm trying to install a .deb package, however it told me that I already had a package in use (because I pressed Ctrl+C on "sudo apt-get install patch"). So I gave up & just rebooted. Still getting the error when trying to install the .deb package, any ideas? [05:09] Hello. I need help with my printer. Basically it has something stuck in it's memory I think and it's stuck trying to print a document but nothing else will come out. It works fine with my Vista laptop though. [05:09] mrpink57: hmmm, I might give up on this one then, they'll just have to move it with the file browser. [05:09] Quirkly: at being 83mb it's too big of an install for me :) [05:09] It is a HP Deskjet 3940. [05:09] mrpink57: TOR is an Onion Router network, (Proxy chain) to try and browse anonymously, bypass IP blocks/country blocks and other situations where one would want to hide/mask/change their IP address. :P [05:09] arghh2d2, I did create a symlink to libstdc++.so.6 called libstdc++.so.5, since 5 isn't in karmic. Don't know if that could have done it. [05:10] lol mrpink57 fair enough, just gotta say, it used to overwhelm me, but after reading a tutorial, I can see the power it possesses [05:10] rich97: you could also chmod 755 which gives full rights to owner but only read execute to group [05:10] ima: then your gdm might be messed up...try loggin in as another user with the graphical login screen or while your in gui right now, check gdm settings [05:10] Linux-CLI: have you tried the gdebi package? [05:10] what causes my hd buffered speed to drop low when testing via hdparm -tT then come back to around 66.7mb/s on reboot? [05:11] hello? my sound just suddenly stopped working in linux. how could they let this happen? [05:11] ima: i'm not sure either [05:11] could anyone tell me where i can find linux boxes with 24/7 tech support and hardware damage coverage plans? [05:11] arghh2d2, hmm my user should be the only one, except for root [05:11] some update must have done it. there is no more start-up sound or i cant play music or internet video sound [05:11] jokehead: a netbook with linux installed I suppose === eaglewatch is now known as EagleWatch [05:12] ima: just check your graphical login settings utility then [05:12] mrpink57, I don't want a netbook [05:12] ima: idontknow, maybe you recently made some changes [05:12] jokehead: you can find the adds online here and there for computers bought with ubuntu installed [05:12] @Mrobvious right click the printer configuration---->printer-----printer queue----then cancel thats it. ur memory is cleaned. i hope ur in ubuntu OS. [05:12] jokehead: I assume you are looking for some type of server setup [05:13] meepmoop: do you know anything about that or no [05:13] whats the name of the gnome terminal if you want to run it from the terminal [05:13] mrpink57, no just looking for a laptop [05:13] think43: gnome-terminal [05:13] or desktop [05:13] very much like linkedin w/ more features [05:13] if i want to include a specific validation in all my models (identical), what is the easiest way to do it? [05:13] I have a wireless usb dongle right now - lsusb detects it but I have no idea how to use it as a wireless device; any ideas? [05:13] jokehead: I have seen them for desktop but I think you can buy a Dell with Linux [05:14] ardchoille, thanks [05:14] yw [05:14] gvj: Yeah I am. [05:14] gvj: I have a desktop and a laptop and the lappy is Vista and this is Ubuntu. [05:14] mrpink57, where have you seen the desktop? [05:14] jokehead: have you tried system76 or zareason? [05:14] so do wat i told man. [05:14] arghh2d2, maybe I don't quite know what xstart is supposed to do, I didn't get gnome up, I only got my cursor and a black background. I assumed that was supposed to happen. [05:14] gvj: I am. [05:14] u need to clear the printer Q [05:15] ima: ahhhh [05:15] anyone here have any opinions on ubuntu studio I'm thinking about making a switch on another comp that I use strictly for recording [05:15] mrpink57: I might just remove them all together now I think about it, if they want to keep the git files they can use the file browser to move them, if they just want to install it (plugin for CakePHP) then they don't need the .git files. [05:15] jokehead: a site I frequent know as www.overclock.net has them in their add banners. but I did confirm Dell does Ubuntu setups [05:15] ardchoille, thanks no I havent, have any more names to give me? [05:15] jokehead: http://system76.com/ or http://www.zareason.com/shop/home.php [05:15] ima: you're in console and you typed startx and gnome didnt come up...you were supposed to take note of any error messages [05:15] jokehead: they both specialize in Linux desktops and laptops [05:16] arghh2d2, I wasn't able to see any error messages because it was in fullscreen mode, how do I get back to my command line? I haven't used linux for ages. [05:16] ARGH [05:16] FIX MY SOUND [05:16] touchpad is being recognized as a mouse and i want to change some of the touchpad features, ubuntu 9.10, asus laptop. how do I force it to load the synaptic touchpad drivers instead of the ps/2 mouse driver? [05:17] ima: you're in a gui now? yes no? [05:17] kheera: you need to configure your xorg to use the driver [05:17] arghh2d2, dual boot, could get out my laptop whilst doing this though [05:18] having wireless problems would appreciate some help: http://i.imgur.com/qNW1r.png [05:18] thanks folks [05:18] ima: i'm confused...the troublesome ubuntu...boots up to a black screen with a command prompt ima@ubuntu$ ? [05:18] mrpink57: thanks... xorg.conf says nothing about the mouse. am I in the right place even? [05:19] for example? [05:19] anyone going for RHCE exam....? [05:19] kheera: you need to create the area. as far as that goes you would have to wiki it that's your best bet. I have HAL configure all of my peripherials plus I do not use Ubuntu [05:19] anyone know how to format a Dell Utility partition on a drive with a gpt partition table type? [05:19] why would the mute state be saved in between restarts? dumb ubuntu [05:19] thanks mrpink57 [05:20] arghh2d2, I am able to get to the graphical Login screen, but whenever I put in my password I get a black screen for a few seconds then get returned to the login screen, logging in through the command prompt works fine though. [05:20] mrpink57: something like this probably? http://array.org/ubuntu/elantech.html [05:20] lacita: you want to get rid of the partition? [05:21] is there any way i could install ubuntu 9.10 without all the extra packages? i like how everything looks and runs, just dont want all the extra stuff. [05:21] ima: Ok, so logging in through the command prompt..then your still left at a black screen with white letters? [05:21] Ello. I'm trying to set up Ubuntu to act as a router. I've created a wireless network, but computers that connect to it aren't receiving IP addresses. Under the network's IPv4 settings, I have the Method set to "Shared to other computers"; is this what I want? [05:21] arghh2d2, yes [05:21] eduhat: search for ubuntu minimal .. after install add what you want [05:21] ima: and then you type startx and what happens? [05:21] Will CUPS ever print as well as Windows? [05:21] Izinucs: No, I already have it partitioned, I just need to format it to "Dell Utility" without messing up the gpt partition table. [05:21] Izinucs: thanks. will it still look as beautiful as the livecd/install version? [05:21] Shwack: depends on your printer [05:22] lacita: you should be able to use gparted [05:22] kheera: similar Elantech is a different type of mouse just make sure you setup the correct one. [05:22] eduhat: I don't know .. never used it. [05:22] arghh2d2, it initializes and I get a fullscreen x session with only my cursor. [05:22] Izinucs: Thanks. Brother MFC-7820N followed full Brother installation instructions. dpkg -l | grep Brother returns all the correct drivers - printing is still slow as watching paint dry in water. [05:22] kheera: since I do not know can you configure HAL in Ubuntu? [05:22] eduhat: or install server then add whatever desktop manager you want [05:22] Izinucs: No "Dell Utility" support in gparted. fdisk can do it, but it doesn't support gpt. [05:23] Shwack: you might have done something wrong or not finished yet.. my brother mfc-7440n works fine.. with the exception of fax.. I haven't been able to get that to work yet [05:23] ima: ok, run ls -a ~/ and look for .xinitrc [05:24] mrpink57: i don't know anything about hal. i believe my laptop has the elanatech touchpad../. [05:24] arghh2d2: .xinitrc is in root [05:24] Izinucs: I dunno... I have installed every deb package twice [05:24] mrpink57: you should only mess with ~/.xinitrc ... [05:25] mrpink57: you also should never have to mess with hal [05:25] arghh2d2, alright, let me get my laptop out so I can do it and be on here at the same time. [05:25] mrpink57: i need to get a virtualbox ubuntu going...its crazy... .xinitrc should be in the users home director, its like ubuntu tries to keep users away from the command line [05:25] I'm new to Ubuntu [05:26] which is the best free virtual machine management software for using in ubuntu. vmware, virtualbox, Qemu [05:26] arghh2d2: im a jerk no its not its in /etc/skel/.xinitrc [05:26] Shwack: check this link and look for Scunizi's post.. there's an attachment.. I wrote it.. :) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1362294 [05:26] arghh2d2, alright, give me a few secs. [05:27] arghh2d2: unless you manually copied it over it should be in that dir [05:27] arghh2d2: it's not there by default because it's not needed by default - if you need it you can easily create it [05:27] MTecknology: i know [05:27] arghh2d2: what's the issue then? [05:27] MTecknology: no issue [05:28] so what does everyone here use ubuntu for? [05:29] `they use it for free [05:29] eduhat: DOH! everything [05:29] :) [05:29] the family computer, I use Arch on my personal === Rabbitbu1ny is now known as Rabbitbunny [05:29] mrpink57: yea i have arch on my laptop. I use it for everything, i just want to try something new. [05:29] eduhat: then try Slackware [05:30] lfs [05:30] mrpink57: i need something with package management :) === root_ is now known as Guest7327 [05:30] I'd probably go to FreeBSD next if I moved from Arch [05:31] mrpink57: i had freebsd a while ago. i didnt use it for too long so i don't really remember too much of it [05:33] I think lfs is far too much work, I would rather just make my own distro at that point. At least that can go on a resume [05:33] Anyone know how to stop the console/keyboard from visibly showing the ^C when I issue it? http://code.gnu-designs.com/setuid/ctrl-c-flub.png [05:34] i might try lfs, not with any hopes to build a usable system but to learn [05:36] #Ubuntu-Mx [05:36] arghh2d2: you get vbox working?

(I have alien installed) [05:37] arghh2d2: but not on ubuntu?

[05:39] arghh2d2: I was reading previous posts .. just looked that way.. but sounds like I was mistaken :) [05:39] I have one .rpm file, can anybody explain how to convert it to .deb package and install via alien? (I have alien installed) [05:39] hello [05:39] arghh2d2, I didn't find .xinitrc [05:40] ima: run: echo exec gnome >> ~/.xinitrc [05:40] then run startx [05:40] xfact: alien is used to convert the .rpm to a .deb *then* you install.. but it's not really recommended. some packages just don't convert correctly.. what's the package/program? [05:40] is this the ubuntu help room [05:40] !ask | rip [05:40] rip: 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. :-) [05:41] arghh2d2, done it [05:41] ima: what happened? [05:41] ok thanks I am a noob [05:41] Izinucs: package is ogle (a DVD player) actually, thats not the main issue, I also want to learn how to convert....

[05:42] yeah [05:42] (for wifi)*** [05:42] Izinucs: thank you, but many people including you says it's not recommended, so is it harmful for system? [05:43] is there a simple package I can download to get my ubuntu to run as a proxy server? I have 2 network cards installed now. [05:43] arghh2d2, alright, it failed now [05:43] xfact: could be [05:43] the other command invisibly created a .xinitrc file with one line "exec gnome" [05:43] Izinucs: thank you :) [05:43] ima: now you got error messages?

[05:50] arghh2d2: the big issue might be that he is in root, the file should be in your user home as far as I can remember [05:50] ima: i forgot what we were even trying to do...oh yeah, get an error message when X fails [05:50] hello [05:50] mrpink57: /root/.xinitrc works the same way [05:50] is he logged in as root?

[05:52] arghh2d2, a blank screen with no cursor [05:52] ima: and nothing happens when you click the dsktop?

It said somthing about proxy server [06:05] rip: an unusual link.. ifup eth0 is how you bring your network card alive.. typically [06:05] arghh2d2, ahh no wait, it's there, it just didn't come up with tab completion [06:05] I have 2 nics installed and i need a program to make my ubuntu a proxy server [06:05] lol [06:05] ok so OPENVPN is a nightmare and overkill for what im trying to do, can anyone tell me of an easy way to share my media folders outside my network?

The card randomly works, sometimes it autodetects networks other times it looks like it's dormant. I check my user permissions and apparently I don't have access to modify the networkmanager. Is that the problem? [06:16] no I heard that you can hook up the cable line into a linux box and then change the address on the other nic to give a computer access to the internet using ip sub default and dns. That is not from the isp but from your linux box [06:16] can anyone tell me of an easy way to share my samba media folders outside my network? I'm begining to think its not possible [06:16] arghh2d2, didn't work [06:17] is there an easy way to completely remove all FTP related apps/settings? [06:17] rip: I don't understand what you're trying to say. Your Internet traffic still has to pass through your ISP, and your ISP is the one blocking you from certain applications. What impact will changing your operating system have on what they're choosing to filter? [06:17] rip: even with a different DNS you're isp will still know what you're doing unless you use an encrypted tunnel to an outside proxy.. then you *might* have a chance of disguising what you're streaming [06:17] I got it to work by putting a proxy server on my browser. but is slowed the bandwidth down. [06:17] help me some ......how to uninstall zend studio [06:18] i use the apt-get remove zend [06:18] but it didn't work [06:18] xixo1983: did you use apt-get to install it? === plmm is now known as prettyplmm [06:18] I want my linux box to be that proxy I used in china. just with full bandwidth [06:18] xixo1983, sudo apt-get remove zend [06:19] rip, doesnt work like that lol [06:19] lol crap [06:19] i use the zend.bin file [06:19] rip: That won't work. It worked before because the proxy you were using is on the other side of your ISP. If you put a proxy server on your local machine, it's on YOUR side of your ISP and your traffic will remain blocked. [06:19] Izinucs, bah, it upgraded an few packages, but I still can't log in through the graphical login [06:19] busy night [06:19] during installation [06:19] ima: you might also try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop and let the system replace what might be missing.. [06:19] it is also not showing add/remove [06:19] xixo1983: Then it's not under package management and you will have to remove it by hand. [06:20] rip, its slow because its a crap proxy, you browser works like this Browser>ISP>Proxy>Site then returns the info in that order. [06:20] Izinucs, alright, and if that fails, what is the command to make it replace it completely? [06:20] xixo1983: that's because it was a .bin file that wasn't in the repositories.. so apt-get doesn't track it.. [06:20] i see [06:20] what's the difference between "route" and "ip route" [06:20] ima: replace what the graphical environment?

Your software (in this case Zend Studio) is not being managed by the system. You can't use the system's package management to remove it. You will have to figure out where it is installed and remove it by hand (ie; with rm -rf). [06:21] Izinucs, yes, but often it says the package is already installed, so to reinstall a package I uninstall then reinstall? [06:22] so I cant hide fromo my isp [06:22] ima: You can reinstall software without first removing it. [06:22] /usr/local/Zend/ZendStudio-7.0.0 [06:22] ima: aptitude reinstall [06:22] ima: no.. ubuntu-desktop will pull what it needs.. give it a shot and see. [06:22] xixo1983: Then removing it is simple. $ sudo rm -rf /usr/local/Zend [06:22] gdb, thank you [06:22] Izinucs, yeah I'll try it, be back in a bit [06:22] ima: Sure thing. I'm not sure if apt-get has reinstall as an option, but aptitude certainly does. [06:23] xixo1983: if i am correct you can disable zend in php.ini [06:23] ima: you can also apt-get reinstall ubuntu-desktop [06:23] what's the difference between "route" and "ip route" [06:23] prettyplmm: In what context? [06:23] one has an "ip " in front prettyplmm [06:23] it that was true than how do hackers hide from there isp? Use a slow proxy address [06:23] prettyplmm: man route man ip [06:23] rip, works kinda like this Application>ISP> there is where the isp blocks the PORT its using, how ever you can use a proxy to generally bypass website filter(80) by connection to the proxy(its not black listed) then use the proxy to get the content and send it back through the chain [06:24] rip, they dont [06:24] rip they have to connect to it to use it lol [06:24] if i am correct you can disable zend in php.ini ? [06:24] xixo1983: yes [06:24] explain more please? [06:24] then what will happend [06:24] xixo1983: /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini [06:25] i will disable [06:25] xixo1983: its not being used then [06:25] prettyplmm: You've not given enough information to give you a complete answer. For most intents and purposes, "route" and "ip route" mean the same thing. Like "car" and "automobile". What context are you referring to? [06:25] whether i should use rm -rf /usr/local/Zend [06:26] gdb: are they all using the kernel to process? i'm new to routing [06:26] xixo1983, and remove it from PHP, or your apache server might not start. [06:26] PHP = apache/php === eaglewatch is now known as EagleWatch [06:26] do they have the same performence? [06:26] lol I keep changing proxy address but the movies are so slow.lol But then after a day are to I get the blocked message from my isp. :( incognito [06:26] ok [06:27] xixo1983: dont use rm -rf for testing, use "mv" to rename it [06:27] prettyplmm: So far, all I can tell is that you're asking the difference between two things that aren't different so I can't answer your question. Routing is handled by the kernel, yes. [06:27] gdb: thank you for your help [06:28] Hackers Hit US Congressional Web Sites; Insult President Obama [06:29] and there isp dont get them?

[06:29] Izinucs, it's working now, thank you so much! [06:29] According to messages left by hackers on some sites, a group calling itself the "Red Eye Crew" claimed responsibility for the infiltration, which left messages saying, in part, "F--- Obama."

[06:33] ima: ah.. I've been on gnome for 5 years and didn't like kde 3.5.. but the latest 4.3 is "pretty" and polished.. [06:33] jguzikowski: only one way to find out. [06:33] hi ,i am newer [06:33] :P fair enough [06:33] that would make me an older [06:34] Izinucs, pretty isn't really a thing I worry about, functionality and stability is more like it.

I've been running it for a couple of weeks on the 64 bit version.. no issues at all so far.. I still have my gnome install waiting for me. :) [06:35] KDE hasn't been usable since beta 7. [06:35] I'm switching to gnome just because the support is so much better than xfce [06:35] or at least testing it out [06:36] ima: acutally the laptop I'm on right now is gnome 8.04 [06:36] helloo can someone help me [06:36] ima: gotta sleep.. see ya [06:36] Izinucs, are they planning on replacing the normal gnome with gnome shell or something though? Someone said something about that, I didn't like what I saw. [06:36] Izinucs, alright, good night and thank you for your help. [06:36] jasmin_1, why don't you ask your question :) === EagleWatch is now known as eaglewatch [06:36] ima: kinda the same pains kde went through. [06:37] Izinucs, ahh, I see [06:37] have a good night Izinucs [06:39] installed the update and stopped when the wizard come..... I must resetart and then threw me this error http://pastebin.com/m381ece85 [06:40] sory about my bad english [06:40] Hello [06:40] hello [06:40] Hello you guys [06:40] some 1 here know about AMD cpus? [06:40] i do [06:40] Nice [06:41] i got a question [06:41] can u help me pleas? [06:41] ive recently setup firefox to store cache data in a temporary filesystem in ram. I can see that firefox is storing to /tmp, but how can I verify that its using ram instead of disk? [06:41] i can try [06:41] http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=A790GMH/128M [06:41] that motherboard says that support AM2, AM2+ cpus What is that [06:42] amd dual core [06:42] the same Mainboard can hanndle both cpu types? [06:42] enav: certain models of AMD CPUs are AM2 or AM2+ sockets [06:43] what other desktop environments are there, gnome, xfce, kde? [06:43] jguzikowski: LXDE. [06:43] i mean can i use my AM2 Atlhon in that motherboard? [06:43] jguzikowski: Openbox, Blackbox. [06:43] oh right, blackbox and openbox [06:43] jguzikowski: for full DEs, yeah LXDE, but other than that... there are standalone window managers like Fluxbox, Openbox, etc. Enlightenment, Xmonad, twm, dwm... [06:44] whats puppy linux use? [06:44] kinja-sheep: i wouldnt call those DEs. they dont have associated sets of applications. theyre just window managers [06:44] jguzikowski: Enlightenment 17 seems it will be a full DE when its done, while 16 and older were just window managers [06:44] ohh really? i loved e16 now that im thinking about it [06:45] hello all [06:45] jguzikowski: yeah when i tried e17 in 2007, they had a file manager and a music player and a few other things they were working on [06:45] maco, thats awesome..any idea when that'll be available? === user is now known as Guest10326 [06:46] jguzikowski: e17 has been in development for 7 years right now i think. i think its also still considered alpha (because its not feature complete... those apps arent done. not because of stability...its rock solid) [06:47] wow..alphas available i assume? i may wanna try this out [06:47] jguzikowski: yep yep. i built it from source on debian etch in 2007, but i imagine there are debs now. there were debs in sid at the time... [06:47] hello, can somone tell me why my atheros card wont load in 9.10 ? i see it there under lspci ? [06:47] Hi everyone I would like to request assistance from your webpage országotokba we find the views and give more to others as well as likely that I will be banned from getting a link in röktön http://gollszexcom.atw.hu/ [06:48] jguzikowski: https://launchpad.net/e17-repository [06:48] Yggdrasil: Does 'lsmod|grep ath' show anything from your terminal? [06:49] soreau, i think i see why know [06:49] but no it doesnt [06:49] maco, thanks what i love about enlightnement is how freakin beautiful it looks right off the bat too [06:49] Can anyone recommend a good place to start for figuring out how to get an Ubuntu box set up to send mail? I've got one configured that seemed to echo the proper responses, but the webpage I have hosted on it isn't sending anything out, and the nail command I used in an attempt to test it didn't succeed. I'm so far unfamiliar with mail servers that I'm at the floundering point. [06:49] jguzikowski: oh bah apparently that repository's not around anymore... hrmph... maybe someone made a ppa [06:49] Yggdrasil: Which card do you have as reported by lspci? [06:49] soreau: ithought this was just an atheros card but it looks like its a ar5001x , and im about to go check if thats supported [06:49] maco, i gotta head out now, need to reboot then probably sleep..damn classes early in the morning [06:49] jguzikowski: https://launchpad.net/~e17-packaging/+archive/ppa has for 9.04...

[06:52] Yggdrasil: I have no idea why it isn't loading by default. It's probably blacklisted by a conflicting module, like madwifi (ath_pci) or ndiswrapper stuff (yech) [06:52] hey guys, i have what's probably a dumb question here -- is it possible to get an ubuntu install minus all the silly gnome/kde cruft? basically i just want the newer packages etc. [06:53] !minimal | aporetic [06:53] aporetic: 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 [06:53] aporetic, xubuntu ...gnome and kde is silly? [06:53] aporetic: just dont choose a -desktop task when doing the install [06:53] pwnedulongtime: i think the idea is a command line only system [06:53] oh [06:53] pwnedulongtime: haha, i want to use awesome as my wm but debian's version is well over a year old [06:53] maco: and thank you very much for that, i'll give it a shot [06:55] Hi, is here someone who uses a Philips webcam in karmic? [06:55] setting up web board to use for pastebin and in the text box it asks for source code ? [06:56] I've the trouble that the pwc module isn't usable [06:56] hey im back [06:56] soreau: that works great thanks. [06:56] is that blacklisted .. module ? [06:56] Is there anyone who is able to modprobe the pwc module in karmic? [06:57] is it available? [06:57] Alexandra, videodev 36736 2 pwc,uvcvideo [06:57] Yggdrasil: (in case you didn't get this message) I have no idea why it isn't loading by default. It's probably blacklisted by a conflicting module, like madwifi (ath_pci) or ndiswrapper stuff (yech) [06:57] pwnedulongtime: damn it, and you're using karmic? [06:58] Alexandra, yes [06:58] pwnedulongtime: Did you do any special about it [06:58] soreau: yea thanks i'll start by just making a .sh until i can get abtter handle on it. tired here late. [06:58] Alexandra, lsmod | grep pwc [06:58] :) [06:58] Yep, I did that already, but nothing appears [06:59] Alexandra, what happens when you do sudo modprobe pwc ? [06:59] hi [06:59] FATAL: Module pwc not found. [06:59] uname -r [06:59] 2.6.31-17-generic [06:59] how to delit ubuntu then again instal ubuntu......i cant fix my problem [06:59] Alexandra, you may need to install backport modules [07:00] delete* [07:00] Ah, ok [07:00] jasmin_1, you need to format the partition [07:00] jasmin_1, cannot just 'delete' it [07:00] but grub??? i have and windows [07:00] pwnedulongtime: thanks, I never did that. I'll give it a try. Thnaks! [07:00] jasmin_1, how did you install ubuntu? [07:00] is there a way to add a twitter user to my feed in identica?? [07:00] jasmin_1, why do you want to delete it?

[07:05] jasmin_1, can you go into recovery mode and update [07:06] i dont know how to make that [07:06] do that [07:06] mtx_init: what is grub disk ?????? ubuntu 9.10 [07:06] jasmin_1,ok now what do you see in front? [07:06] Alexandra, yeah...mine is [07:06] jasmin_1, you have login? [07:06] mehheh, check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2#Recover Grub 2 via LiveCD [07:06] i have options on grub loader [07:07] jasmin_1, so it wont boot ? [07:07] mehheh: if your grub is blown, your best bet is to do Grub Recovery via the Live CD [07:07] two firist was ubuntu whitch dont want to start [07:07] jasmin_1, now you in windows? [07:07] just show me that error [07:07] how you type here [07:07] then come two other ubuntu [07:07] is there any viruses for ubuntu? [07:07] thanks petsounds [07:07] which ubuntu version does not boot [07:07] mkquist !pastebin [07:07] mtx_init: how [07:07] that was before update i think [07:07] oops [07:07] gigasoft: none as of now, but that doesnt mean their cant be [07:08] do i need an antivirus protection? [07:08] mehheh: look at petsounds last comment, he gave a link [07:08] gigasoft: nope [07:08] gigasoft: just be a smart user and you should be fine [07:08] gigasoft, just download avast linux so you dont infect other windows machines [07:08] gigasoft, trust me, i have infected 100 machines because i didnt know i had a windows virus [07:08] ok, thanks :) [07:08] mtx_init: thanks already on that [07:09] ndiswrapper -l says ssb is alternate driver but its blacklisted. says bcmwl5 is the driver and hardware is present. ubuntu network mgr says no network devices available. blacklisted ssb bcm43xx b43legacy. am i missing something, something i forgot to do? [07:09] indus: No. Infect them! Infect them all you can! It is not your fault for their Windows silliness. :) [07:10] maybe a dumb question, by why does my python script fail to continue executing after I logout from SSH even with I push it into background with & ? [07:10] There is absolutely nothing stopping Linux from being infected with a virus. Its a common misconception. [07:10] kinja-sheep, no i wont :) [07:10] jaysern: because the python script is a fork of your shell [07:11] jasmin_1, hello [07:11] jaysern not sure but some times using nohup yourcommandhere & will let it continue to run [07:11] jasmin_1, you try follow that bug report, should help you [07:11] so my SSH session forks .. another shell that runs my python script? [07:11] ok [07:11] jaysern: Consider using screen. :) [07:12] thnx i will try sori about my bad english [07:12] :S [07:12] is there ANY way to tell if /tmp is actually a temporary filesystem in RAM, or is that what /tmp is anyway? I cant hdparm because /tmp is a directory, so how do I find out? [07:12] hmm.. but using screen, that's a work-around ;) avoiding the problem [07:12] surely people have written background scripts in .py before [07:13] I am not that familiar with it, but don't you need to run it with bg ? [07:13] jaysern: when you ssh into another computer, it is a fork of the sshd daemon, which execs a shell in your name. When you log out abruptly your child process is left as a zombie and picked up by the ancestor of your parent, which then exit's you or kills your process. [07:13] i can't print my document! the system keep asking me for the username and password. === zz_magenbrot is now known as magenbrot [07:14] jaysern: Try using:: nohup yourcommandhere & [07:14] ociugi: is it a network printer? [07:14] yes [07:15] i think i configure it correctly [07:15] how to get the development headers for wine [07:15] MTec007: hmm, never used nohup before - alright i will try it [07:15] Does anyone have experience installing on a netbook from a flash drive, when the netbook doesn't seem to natively have BIOS support for boot from flash drive? [07:15] ill post a link if you'd like;) [07:15] UNetbootin keeps giving me an error and throwing me into terminal mode. [07:15] And I don't know how to install from there. [07:15] but when i print somthing the authentication windows pop up [07:16] ociugi: im sorry im not familiar with network printing. [07:16] Rowan: you should see an option to print as a guest? [07:17] wine development headers for Karmic Kaola === Guest68302 is now known as magenbrot [07:17] ociugi: you should see an option to print as a guest? [07:18] Rowan: sorry [07:18] Was gonna say, that's not my question. [07:18] I'm trying to install Ubuntu on my brand new Acer Aspire One. [07:19] Rowan yeah, my screen scrolled as i was reading, threw me off a bit :) [07:19] And I can't manage it because I can't seem to get boot from flash drive working. [07:19] Don't suppose you're able to help with that too, eh? [07:19] :) [07:20] if your computer cannot boot from a usb flash drive, then it does not have the internal instructions to bootstrap to that device. You will likely have to use a 3rd item like a cd boot loader or a hard drive and chain it to the usb drive [07:20] Rowan hit F12 when your BIOS screen pops up? [07:21] Do different distros have different kernels, or do they all use the same one? [07:21] When I try to install a gnome theme it tells me I don't have the right permissions to install the theme..anyone can explain why? [07:21] Rowan should be able to select USB as a boot device from there [07:21] Once I get the bios screen up, then what? === Neeblor is now known as Zeeblor [07:22] It doesn't give me an option to boot from a specific one after exiting bios. [07:22] Rowan, go into special boot options [07:22] hello [07:22] Rowan, check the bios post screen it will show [07:22] Special boot options doesn't seem to exist on this computer. [07:22] Bios post screen? [07:23] Rowan, the first bios screen which you see [07:23] Hey all, what's the *proper* syntax for removing a hidden folder, given that I'm in parent folder? [07:23] Insufficient permissions to install the theme in: /home/james/.themes anyone know why this ocmes up everytime I try to install a gnome theme? [07:23] Rowan, or ,,,, enter bios and check under hard disks removable [07:23] petsounds: mtx_init hi how do i edit grub info for my system. here is my info and teh grub file. i am kind of lot on one point in the tutoral you gave root@ubuntu:/# nano /etc/default/grub do i need to crreate another bootloader someware else how i cant work it out [07:23] I have UNetbootin writing a new ISO to flash drive, waiting for that to finish. [07:23] Rowan, if you dont see these, then your bios doesnt support the boot from bios option [07:24] MTec007: hmm .. looks like it's working :) [07:24] The thing is that running unetbootin before has thrown me into a terminal and I don't know what to do from there. [07:24] jaysern good to hear, dont loose that lol [07:24] (ash, it says.) [07:24] can anyone help me? [07:24] I was hoping someone could help me with something. [07:24] Rowan did you have the usb stick in when you rebooted your computer and hit F12? [07:24] hi [07:24] it appears to write a file called nohup.out on my ~ [07:24] petsounds: mtx_init hi how do i edit grub info for my system. here is my info and teh grub file. http://pastebin.com/d1ad45007 i am kind of lot on one point in the tutoral you gave here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2#Recover do i need to crreate another bootloader someware else how i cant work it out [07:24] jj3124: Check the permissions of /home/james/,themes [07:25] Rowan,how did you boot with unetbootin if bios doesnt boot from usb [07:25] Rowan, that means it has [07:25] i have an hp mini 311-1025NR and I am not sure which broadcom wireless i have. [07:25] how to register in freenode? [07:25] Rowan: acc to google it does indeed... boot from usb, maybe your install usb is funked? [07:25] jaysern yeah it will do that but its a log [07:25] my .py happens to write a lot of stdout, which gets saved in nohup.out [07:25] jj3124: You can check that by typing ls -l .themes a terminal in your home folder [07:25] i cant join any channel except #ubuntu [07:25] will it keep growing and growing? [07:25] kelvinella: ask in #freenode, they know best [07:25] jaysern im not exactly sure [07:26] ok, that's cool. I'll man nohup [07:26] Xeddy, ok i did that, not sure what im lookin at though [07:26] mehheh: im not really sure, sorry [07:26] kelvinella: /ns register YOURPASSWORD YOUREMAIL [07:26] jj3124: Okay, just type this command chmod +rw .themes [07:26] Good Day [07:26] kelvinella: then - /msg nickserv identify (password) - after you set it up with freenode... [07:27] 'Operation not permitted [07:27] jj3124: Do it as root then... sudo chmod +rw .themes [07:27] mehheh, the last time i reinstall grub i don't change anything. [07:27] okay nothing popped up [07:27] I just installed an ubuntu 9.10 on a Dell PowerEdge R410 - Installation done without any problems. After the reboot, it seems that grub cant find the root dir. So it is not booting - i dont even see the boot screen. It just ends with the recovery shell. Does anyone know, how to solve that Problem ? [07:28] jj3124: it didn't ask you for the password? [07:28] Xeddy, no just gave me a new line of terminal [07:28] petsounds: so what do i do i save teh file as is adn then what [07:28] jj3124: is it a prompt like > or is it just a blank line? [07:28] petsounds: just the tutoral is confusing me. i dont get it [07:28] jj3124: cause if its just a blank line then you'll need to type your password there [07:28] james@james-laptop:~$ [07:28] shows [07:29] jj3124: Okay then type: su [07:29] authentication failure o_O [07:29] O.o [07:29] after i typed in my password [07:29] Wrong password? [07:29] ndiswrapper -l says ssb is alternate driver but its blacklisted. says bcmwl5 is the driver and hardware is present. ubuntu network mgr says no network devices available. blacklisted ssb bcm43xx b43legacy. am i missing something, something i forgot to do? [07:29] Sorry got called away [07:29] I did have the USB stick in. [07:29] jj3124, its the wrong password. [07:30] Maybe it was messed up, hopefully the new one will work better? [07:30] not wrong password..i just installed ubuntu over my xubuntu and just logged out to change session, think that has an effect on it? [07:30] !password | jj3124 [07:30] jj3124: Forgot your password? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords [07:30] !sudo [07:30] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [07:30] I remember it being a whole hell of a lot easier to install Ubuntu when I was installing it on my desktop tower when I was little. [07:31] Little meaning 13. [07:31] Rowan, its even easier now :) [07:31] mehheh, ok ill try to help. pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l [07:31] Rowan: how old are you now? [07:31] im gonna try a reboot [07:31] very odd [07:32] 20 :P [07:32] hyperstream: I'm not having any luck now though. [07:32] on my old system I used nvidia's proprietary drivers, but now I'm using the same hard drive in a new system with Intel graphics. What's the command I can run to un-do the nvidia configuration? [07:32] Rowan, whats the issue? [07:32] Netbook is being a PITA with trying to install. [07:32] hyperstream: The first ISO I used with UNetbootin threw me into a terminal mode (ash) and I couldn't get anywhere from there. [07:32] jj3124: Just FYI it's not such a good idea to install one OS on top of the other or like reinstall the OS.. it's always a better option to just backup your personal data and format/delete the partitions. [07:33] Rowan, whats wrong with the normal live cd ? [07:33] Um, I haven't got a CD drive that's what. [07:33] hyperstream: netbook [07:33] Rowan, man a usb installer? [07:33] Hey all [07:33] make* [07:33] hyperstream: Um, I don't know that much about this stuff, honestly. [07:33] hyperstream: hes having issues booting from usb [07:33] !hello | Josh90 [07:33] Josh90: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [07:34] what is lifere? [07:34] life-re [07:34] I'm trying to install Ubuntu because Win7Starter is crippleware and nearly useless, and I don't want to give it my money to make it not useless. [07:34] something like that [07:34] petsounds: i have finished teh tutoral it seemed to work i now am going to try booting my hdd [07:34] petsounds: thanks for help [07:34] I can't seem to get it to boot into the installer from USB. No matter what ido. [07:34] I do rather. [07:34] mehheh, awesome :) [07:35] !usb | Rowan [07:35] Rowan: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [07:35] Rowan, ahh [07:35] New ISO is only at 76% right now downloading, so I have a bit of time before I get to try again, but with that happening, I've been getting frustrated. [07:35] Rowan, no bios support? [07:35] lot's of work [07:35] there must be /some/ bios support. unetbootin /ran/. [07:35] Rowan, does your bios support booting from a USB device? [07:35] hyperstream: if those had helped, I wouldn't be here. [07:35] I'm not /sure/. [07:35] Sorry [07:35] Rowan: the only thing i can come up with is this, and i know its not helping you much: "Reboot your Aspire One with the USB stick in one of its USB sockets. When you see the BIOS screen, hit F12 to select the USB stick as the boot device. This will cause the Aspire One to boot the Debian installer from the USB stick." [07:36] Rowan, hard to mind read if your've seen those sites, sorry. [07:36] MTec007: That general principle should help, I think. [07:36] Xeddy, got that su working now [07:36] * Rowan is not totally incompetent when it comes to computers, but prefers to follow directions that work, not ones that don't. [07:36] as long as you have a good burn [07:36] Rowan, what kinda of netbook exactly [07:36] Xeddy, where were we :) [07:36] jj3124: Great, now enter: chomd +rw .themes === aperson is now known as APERSON [07:36] Acer Aspire one, n450 processor, 1gb ram, 160gb hd. [07:37] jj3124: ofc, make sure you're in the /home/james folder first... [07:37] Rowan: i got that from this website: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianAcerOne#Install [07:37] Brand new, just got it today. [07:37] I am having trouble getting root asscess [07:37] Xeddy, k, did that [07:38] !password | Josh90 [07:38] Josh90: Forgot your password? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords [07:38] jj3124: That should do the trick, now try installing the theme [07:38] Right. [07:38] Xeddy, sigh..still saying the same insufficient permissions [07:39] I'm waiting for the ISO to download and burn now. And then I'm going to go grab my macbook so that I can stay on IRC while I do this. [07:39] also, would removing the wireless adapter for my mouse have any effect? [07:39] Rowan, does it have some kind of model number? [07:39] Xeddy, if I browse over to where .themes is theres a big lock on it [07:39] No trying to put something in the file system and it says i do not have permission. Even tho i have the administrator [07:39] Rowan couldnt hurt to remove it [07:39] !sudo | Josh90 [07:39] Josh90: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [07:40] jj3124: it still probably has the old permissions from your previous install... I'd recommend googling for how to reset folder permissions or something like that [07:40] Xeddy, okay, t hanks for all your help [07:40] jj3124: Np, good luck with the googling :) [07:40] hyperstream, I'm not actually sure. [07:40] hyperstream. Thanks. [07:40] Still learning [07:40] the model number is letters and numbers that don't stick well in my head. [07:40] Rowan, on the bottom i think (on a sticker perhaps) [07:41] Think I might just do a compeltely fresh intstall of ubuntu on the hard drive [07:41] Right, k. (I'm on my netbook right now, which isn't making any of this easier, mind you.) [07:41] Rowan, have you seen this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne110L <-- im guessing you have [07:41] thanks again for the nohup tip! [07:41] jaysern NP [07:41] Xeddy, any idea how i can increase sudo timeout [07:42] hmm im having a problem calling an octave function from a unix shell script [07:42] could anyone please look at the line in here that calls octave and see if you have any advice to offer? http://codepad.org/BfHZ1ibT [07:42] its under the comment "generate stats from octave" [07:43] hyperstream: I have, though I'm trying to install a newer version than that. [07:43] indus: sudo nano /etc/sudoers [07:44] indus: Use your arrow keys and look for passwd_timeout and just change the value :) [07:44] owwwwwwwwwww, since when do you touch the sudoers file. [07:44] It's a little too late for me to install it tonight since I've been having trouble with it, I think. [07:44] visudo people [07:44] Xeddy, thanks, does it accept 'infinity' ?:)) [07:45] mtx_init, Xeddy yes i believe sudo wont work, visudo also seems not to work in ubuntu [07:45] indus: I'm not sure... btw, I think it's better you use visudo [07:45] !visudo [07:45] sudoers can become corrupt if you dont use visudo [07:45] it works fine on 9.10 for me [07:45] :q [07:46] alright, I've removed the mouse thingy. [07:46] you just need to call it with sudo [07:46] !info visudo [07:46] Package visudo does not exist in karmic [07:46] nvm [07:46] 91% [07:46] visudo is part of sudo [07:46] !info wineheaders [07:46] Package wineheaders does not exist in karmic [07:47] it should be standard in /usr/sbin/ [07:47] hi [07:47] what should the xorg file say for the ati open drivers, ?ati or radeon [07:49] hmm im having a problem calling an octave function from a unix shell script [07:49] could anyone please look at the line in here that calls octave and see if you have any advice to offer? http://codepad.org/BfHZ1ibT [07:49] its under the comment "generate stats from octave" [07:49] cant open firefox. why? [07:49] does anyone have a solution to limit skype bandwidth using ubuntu server via iptables, tc or any? [07:49] is it already running ps -aux | grep firefox [07:49] sudo visudo [07:50] can anyone tell me what the xorg driver name for free ATI driver should say [07:50] ping [07:50] "get a Nvida Card" [07:50] "/s" [07:50] indus: radeon-hd ? [07:51] radeonhd [07:52] haffe, no its either ati or radeon [07:52] i tried radeon but monitor goes to sleep [07:52] nvm [07:52] UNetbootin is still just downloading files. If it doesn't work this time, I'm just going to give up and wait for another day, I think. [07:54] Hey guys. I made a litte update script via bin/bash. It keeps me asking "do you want to install this and that [y/n]". How can I disable that to get rid of the user interaktion [07:56] Geekpirat: pastebinning the script might help [07:56] !paste [07:56] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [07:56] alright, reboot and install time. [07:56] thank you [07:56] will try that [07:58] Geekpirat: But, if your script is calling some apt-get function, you may not want to disable that as it might be the system keeping your packages managed properly [07:59] ardchoille: I only used some apt-get install, update and upgrade functions [08:00] ardchoille: I wonder how this could be bad...as I will answer them with "yes" anyways... [08:00] geekbuntu: right, and I'll bet the user interaction is apt-getdoing its job [08:01] Geekpirat: why not use a bash alias instead of a script? [08:01] can anyone help me fix this line of script? for k in $(ls *.cropped.png); do octave -q --eval 'gen_pers_stats("$k")'; done [08:02] Geekpirat: this is what I use: alias updateall='aptud && aptug && echo "Update complete"' [08:02] ardchoille: Because I used different stuff in the script. Downloading Opera from the website via wget and in the future it should configure the DNS entries (uning opendns) and stuff like that [08:02] Geekpirat: Ah, nice [08:03] Geekpirat: the most disasterous scripts seen on this channel have "assumed yes" [08:03] Geekpirat: it's not good to allow a script to assume yes, better to watch things [08:03] good morning [08:03] That's why I use a bash alias and not a script [08:04] http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=paolo# [08:04] ardchoille: I understand it is a bit dangerous. But I will try the script first in a VM many times before using it. [08:05] mrb427: why not: for k in *.cropped.png; ? [08:05] ardchoille: Even if the script makes damages its not THAT problematic. because its a script only run once after a clean reinstall of ubuntu. [08:06] geekbuntu: That'sthe same thing I heard from the developer of Automatix [08:06] ardchoille: It should only do the stuff I will do anyway on my laptop autonaticly [08:06] Geekpirat: Ok, it's your system [08:07] mrb427: you don't need the "ls" bit because the loop will loop through each file ending in .cropped.png anyway [08:07] ardchoille: In fact, I ruin my system nearly once a month ^^ so, why not ruin it twice... [08:08] ardchoille: yeah, but then i still have the problem that k is in double quotes at the end of the line, so it puts in the char k and not the variable k [08:08] mrb427: use $k to specify the variable k [08:08] "k" will yield a "k" [08:09] mrb427: example: for k in *.cropped.png; do echo $k; done [08:09] ardchoille: i still seem to have the same problem : / [08:11] ardchoille: yeah but the problem is that the $k is in double quotes in my script [08:11] ardchoille: http://codepad.org/pom53JRM [08:12] i ran "make" on ffmpeg and its been spitting out text for 15 minutes...what the muck [08:12] hello, I install mac osx on my pc i am running ubuntu karmic how to change grub2 to be able to boot macOSx partition? [08:12] it must be stuck in an infinite loop [08:12] mrb427: example: for k in *.cropped.png; do echo "$k"; done [08:13] can you run osx on a pc? [08:13] mrb427: your problem is this: $(ls *.cropped.png) [08:13] tomatoes7 yes [08:13] mrb427: use for k in *.cropped.png; instead [08:13] ardchoille: yeah i tried changing it to for k in *.cropped.png and i still get the same error [08:13] i can explain how to [08:13] cool...now i don't have to buy a mac [08:13] tomatoes7: yes you can [08:14] i am getting crazy with grub2 [08:14] tomatoes7: that is illegal and so not allowed here as conmversation [08:14] hello, installing ubuntu it asks me if i want to set up LVM should i [08:14] what...installing ffmpeg? [08:14] [00:13] can you run osx on a pc? [08:15] tell tico [08:15] mrb427: I'm telling you the for k in *.cropped.png is not the problem in your code, the problem lies elsewhere [08:15] i'm not trying to put osx on a pc [08:15] mrb427: are you sure this bit works? octave -q --eval 'gen_pers_stats("$k")' [08:16] should i set up LVM during the installation of ubuntu? [08:16] howdy. i need to trigger a script from evolution's filter rules. the "run program" filter action being set to a script with execute permissions does nothing. what gives? [08:16] ardchoille: it works when i run it just in the command line, with a string in stead of $k [08:16] mrb427: That means nothing, many times a command line code will not successfully execute in a script [08:17] Who loves me? === SpyderSphere is now known as SpyderSphere|AFK [08:17] Mummy makes me very very horny [08:17] should i set up LVM during the installation of ubuntu?

[08:23] ardchoille: lol no [08:24] ardchoille: just that its the char " ?

[08:39] im a new in ubuntu [08:39] nowonmai: Indeed. it is also using 'N/A' memory [08:40] nowonmai: sometimes it dissapears and comes back, also killing it just restarts the ID number [08:40] asdff: that *is* odd. Its PID changes or remains the same? [08:40] nowonmai: ? It is constantly changing. It gradually increases its number. [08:40] asdff: add some columns to the system monitor.. see what other information you can find about it [08:41] kk brb [08:41] ziroday, okay. [08:42] asdff: add the 'command line' column to the process view [08:42] nowonmai: it's very hard to view one thing with all the columns, it constantly moves processes up and down :S [08:42] ziroday, doesn't that just change it back to the open source driver?

[08:55] home: hehe, nope [08:56] Metzgerr: is this an ubuntu issue? what is a "Minority indicator code"? [08:56] theadmin: The colon is the separator (echo $PATH to see the rest). That's for this session only. Add it to your profile/bash_profile for permanence [08:57] Flannel: I added "PATH="$HOME/Programs/apachehttpd:$PATH"" to my .profile, yet "echo $PATH" does not show the directory specified.

I did it. http://pastebin.com/f2c120dc6 [08:58] Metzgerr: you haven't answered my question?

[08:58] Flannel: o_O [08:59] Slart, no its offtopic, not ubuntu related ;) [08:59] royrussell: Yeah, i tried using ffmpeg, but it complained about codec support or something like that. I can only use command line apps [08:59] Metzgerr: then perhaps #ubuntu-offtopic might be a better place to ask.. we try to keep this channel for ubuntu support only [08:59] theadmin: You changed a file that gets read whenever you log in. Changing it won't affect your current session (because it only is read when you start up, not constantly). Make sense? [08:59] ok, sorry [08:59] joshhunt do you have the stripped ubuntu ffmpeg, or the unstripped one? [09:00] Flannel: Yeah. Just never heard of "source" [09:00] The stripped one from the ubuntu repos [09:00] joshhunt get the unstriped one [09:00] home: hmm I'm lost, I'm not seeing any errors in either of those logs.

[09:07] nope [09:07] militant: Try 'sudo modprobe ath9k' [09:07] militant: The above does not look correct. ehm. soreau, There must be spaces afaik. Try this: "lsmod | grep ath" [09:08] So uh, main reason I got a Linux distro was because of the nice programming environment, anyone have any suggestions on where to start? [09:08] theadmin: No, there does not need to be spaces against a pipe. Try it 'lspci|grep VGA' [09:08] militant: If there's no output, that's a good thing. Check 'iwconfig' for a wlan0 interface [09:08] soreau: done, i figured it was that, but what now? ath9k loaded and it shows ath itself now too === Mowee`Bnc is now known as Mowee [09:09] says no wireless extensions [09:10] militant: Does 'lsmod|grep ath' show ath9k is loaded now?

Can I put it right at the beginning? [09:14] hmmmm soreau that fixed it, just the modprobe and a reboot. thx [09:15] theadmin: normally at the end is better, but it really should 't matter [09:15] ikonia: Thanks. Will test now.

[09:22] ikonia: So... Well, I only tried "nosplash" so far [09:22] adifire: find some packages that are made up from python and contact the maintainers, or - work outside ubuntu on python projects and the packages will be brough into ubuntu if they are good [09:22] indus, well, i thought it was, but my monitor just shut off again. [09:22] home, did you edit anything? [09:22] indus, you said you have an X1900 XT with amd64 right? [09:22] ikonia : ok, thanks.

It says here "ro quiet splash" on menu entry [09:23] home, sorry but i dont know much about fglrx because its running fine for me now [09:23] indus, but you have the same card, right? [09:23] another q... is it possible to remove entry from grub 2, and then put it back? [09:25] thing is i want to remove the windows 7 entry for some while, and then restore it back.. [09:25] will update-grub2 do the job of restoring windows back?? [09:25] home, you should not need to generally [09:25] home, anyways whats with quake 3 [09:25] home, you get error , no such file or directory with some r alphabet === lordmortis|away is now known as lordmortis [09:26] indus, well, interestingly enough, the download package for the demo on idsoftware is down, so i got it from somewhere else, and it isn't a .tar.gz [09:27] hello, i have strange problem with my mplayer, it freeze couple of times and i need to revind the move when i`m playing it [09:27] known isue?

[09:30] home, ! [09:30] hi, hi, im trying to get an hd 5770 running on 9.10 [09:30] ikonia: Aaand it worked. Thank you. [09:30] theadmin: ooh, cool, glad it still works [09:30] with fglrx? [09:30] home, what monitor is this [09:30] indus, viewsonic [09:30] i get a hard lock when i use fglrx, though :/ [09:31] indus, va7612b [09:31] catalyst 10.1? [09:31] home, try deleting xorg conf , then do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [09:31] adifire: What you do in that case is make the 30_os-prober script unexecutable: "chmod -x /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober" the run update-grub, which won't read the 30_ script and not add windows, then when you want it back you just make the 30_ script executable again with +x (in the chmod command) and then run update-grub again. [09:31] screw grub2 [09:32] indus: not an options by now though :/ [09:32] or maybe the documentation is just poor [09:32] arand, can you tell me what this 30 prober and 40 is [09:33] indus, should i use kernel framebuffer device interface? [09:33] indus: grub helper scripts found in /etc/grub.d/ [09:33] home, leave it at default [09:33] arand: thanks! [09:33] arand, ok just a simple question, if i want to look for menu list, where to look [09:33] indus, eh..it was a popup when i ran the command. i'll not use it. [09:33] eek how do i disable/change the 'dont run as root' policy in effect on ubuntu? [09:33] home, no no you should complete all steps [09:34] indus, ...it's just asking me if i should use the kernel framebuffer device interface [09:34] home, say no [09:34] pweezy: you mean the "cannot login as root to gnome"-setting? [09:34] indus: /boot/grub/grub.cfg is the equivalence, but you shouldn't edit that... atm the creation of the lists are all baked into the helper scripts [09:34] Slart: no i mean the "cannot log in as root in bash" setting [09:35] indus: So there is no proper equivalence, no. [09:35] pweezy: hmm.. not sure about that really.. make sure root has a valid login shell in /etc/passwd [09:36] pweezy: of course I have to throw the obligatory "you can use sudo -i to get a root shell" at you [09:36] indus, now how do I run gnome out of the shell? [09:36] Slart root is set to bash in /etc/passwd [09:36] no i just want to use su. [09:36] =o [09:36] as is the standard. [09:37] pweezy: can't help you any further then.. sorry [09:37] is there any setting on how windows get the focus? if i start an application it _always_ gets the front focus, although i am typing in another app, how can i modify this behaviour? [09:37] Slart: ok thanks anyway the i switch helps alot though [09:37] indus, and I don't have a glxinfo [09:38] i just do not, not, not, not like that my users can use -their- password to execute commands as -root-. [09:38] pweezy: you're welcome [09:38] mefiX: Metacity is not highly configurable, sorry. I'm WAY annoyed by this too. Maybe you should get another window manager...

[10:41] does anyone know how i can get GIMP (version 2.7.) to remember the Single Window settings? everytime i restart the application it forgets the setting. [10:41] Guest38330,does your WRT54GL having the linksys firmware ? [10:42] I will try.timed out. [10:42] yes [10:42] turtle^s0up, if that is possible, it would be stored in gconf, walk through gimp in gconf-tools [10:43] anyone, really :P [10:43] !xmms [10:43] xmms is no longer being developed, see http://bugs.debian.org/461309 for more details. Consider using audacious, bmpx, or xmms2 instead. [10:43] ChaosR: keep tryin',.... i don't know enough for that one,.... try #debian channel or maybey ##linux [10:43] Guest38330, this is out of the channel's scope, but it doesn't matter, does your WRT54GL release IP on either WLAN or LAN interfacec ? [10:44] ChaosR, ? [10:44] I have a problem with my boot sequence, several daemons are not started, plus rc.local is never executed. Any way to debug and/or fix this? [10:44] obaid: i'm on KDE, is there a way i can access the configuration files from cli or without installing gconf-editor? [10:44] how do I get xmms2 gui? [10:44] i dont know about KDE, never used it turtle^s0up [10:45] ChaosR, daemons would log errors, can you check them [10:45] obaid: thanks for the hint [10:45] obaid: checking every log from every started program is a bit extensive [10:45] obaid: the scripts are simply never run [10:46] obaid: somewhere the boot process goes like meh and stops running, and trows in my kde-login [10:46] ChaosR, if you have added some services to start on boot, you should use update-rc.d [10:47] obaid: rc.local seems pretty default to me, plus stuff was working a week ago [10:47] ChaosR, checking your logs are the only way to see what is the problem [10:48] obaid: where are the boot logs, I can't seem to remember where they are [10:48] /var/log [10:48] which file [10:48] what does the "spin down hard disks" in power management do? what are the advantages and disadvantages? [10:49] ChaosR, there might be lots of log files, check dmesg, daemon.log [10:49] obaid: checked those, nothing special there [10:50] anyways, found the bootlog settings, going to reboot now [10:50] ok [10:50] #titstorm [10:50] but i want to use tomato Im using a draytek 100 which is working.But as you said I think I will try absolute beginners forum as i am new to this its too fast for me.thanks anyway.

[10:51] meowbuntu: "aptitude search name" [10:51] meowbuntu: or apt-cache search name [10:51] arand, would apt-get search name work too [10:51] what does the "spin down hard disks" option mean in power management? what are the advantages and disadvantages? [10:51] meowbuntu: or just aptitude [10:51] collabra, no [10:52] Howdy, this is my first time using IRC, I'm sorry if I come off as a total nubby, but I'm looking for a certain channel and I was wondering if someone could help me get there?

Now I normally put the installer with unetbootin on stick and use that to install to another stick, not very efficient :) [10:58] 6.10 LTS has been solid as a rock [10:58] However now some of the stuff is too dated [10:58] barf: there is no such version...

[11:06] Ferreira, that is not supported here [11:07] !derivatives | Ferreira [11:07] Ferreira: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes.

[11:07] although kdm starts normally [11:07] but that isn't a rc*.d script [11:07] ChaosR: Try a different kernel? [11:08] barf: do you really think a kernel could cause such a problem? [11:08] if there are no logs, yes [11:08] seems, odd, but worth trying [11:08] brb [11:09] BTW boot problems from my perspective is in BIOS or EFI... but then again rc is run at system launch [11:10] Hi..is there any .chm reader for ubuntu ?

Having IRC troubles on another channel [11:17] some times [11:17] I'm having issues ripping CDs to flac. The file size of the flac rips is way too big, bigger than the wav counterpart. I've tried using both sound juicer and Rubyripper. Any idea what's going on? [11:18] Dantonic: Bigger FLACs than WAVs makes no sense [11:18] Dantonic: no... but i would guess something is upsampling it (ie from 16kHz to 24 or from 44.1 to 48 etc) [11:19] I though it just had to do with sound juicer at first, but I just tried with rubyripper and I have the same problem :( [11:19] ok, this is amazing, the boot process doesn't even get to the login screen, only kdm works (not tty1-6), and only the current kernel is willing to boot, no other [11:21] freakynl, what's the regular sample rate of a CD? [11:22] 44.1 / 16 [11:23] freakynl, do you use any particular software? [11:23] do you rip to flac? [11:25] Dantonic: no i rip to ogg or acc. usually use grip [11:25] personally, after 192k ogg (with aotuv extentions) any higher doesn't do anything for me. perhaps with classical music but i don't listen to it [11:25] ok, can anybody help me with this odd boot problem: No /etc/rc*.d/ script gets executed, tty1-6 don't get to the login screen, kdm does get started, only the current kernel works [11:26] freakynl, here's a "settings" line from sound juicer: "audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! flacenc name=enc" is it supposed to have 2 channels? [11:26] Dantonic: yea left and right would be nice :) [11:26] ok :P [11:26] oh, and the last line on the onscreen bootlog is ureadahead-other terminated with status 4 [11:27] ChaosR, what version of ubuntu is this [11:27] karmic [11:27] ChaosR, happened since when [11:27] about 1 week ago, I noticed cherokee didn't get started [11:27] ChaosR: hmm might be that the init script crashes/stops because of that error [11:27] !info cherokee [11:27] cherokee (source: cherokee): Very fast, flexible and easy to configure web server. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.99.19-1build1 (karmic), package size 176 kB, installed size 640 kB [11:28] I installed googleearth using synaptic, but it's not in the menu. What do I do? [11:28] so what I did is switch to lighttpd, same problem [11:28] ChaosR, only the current kernel ? what do you mean [11:28] when I pick any other kernel [11:28] it boots [11:29] ChaosR, looks like an update screwed up your thing [11:29] but gets stuck on a black screen with 1 _ [11:29] ChaosR, a display update probably [11:29] even when I remove splash and quiet [11:30] indus: possible, but how does that explain the rc*.d scripts not starting === FeiRuoWa is now known as zz_FeiRuoWa [11:30] ChaosR,or maybe an initramfs update [11:30] ChaosR, try running sudo update initramfs [11:30] How do I see if I'm running Debian or Ubuntu? [11:30] ChaosR, update-initramfs [11:31] ChaosR, maybe that helps i dont know about startup scripts [11:32] What does this mean? hdparm -tT /dev/md0: read(2097152) returned 24576 bytes, Timing buffered disk reads: , read() failed: Input/output error [11:32] Ujjain: lsb_release -i [11:32] Ubuntu. [11:32] I think one of my disk drives or the raid controller is broken. [11:32] indus: how would I go about fixing this, if this doesn't work, reinstall? [11:33] wow, even 'ls' says: ls: reading directory .: Input/output error :| [11:33] ChaosR, did you try the command i said [11:33] indus: yes, and I will reboot in a sec [11:33] ChaosR, i suggest running an update from the console if you get to one [11:33] Ujjain: It may just be a specific folder being corrupt? [11:33] indus: getting to a console is easy, kdm still boots on my topmost kernel (seen from grub) [11:34] from kdm I can login, and open konsole [11:34] ChaosR, yu probably did a partial uprade? and gort messed up [11:34] anyways, I'm going to see if this works, and if not, reinstally time [11:35] ChaosR, yeah i guess [11:35] I guess I should stop hacking my ubuntu as much as I do, it tends to break (though usually in a fixable fashion) [11:35] md0, is software raid, right? [11:35] ChaosR, good luck [11:35] thanks [11:35] ChaosR, what hacking did you do really [11:36] indus: custom kernel, load of backport repositories [11:36] ChaosR,ok then my advice is null and void [11:36] whats the best way to mount an iso? [11:36] though, still shouldn't break as badly as it has [11:37] ChaosR, whya custom kernel? whats special [11:37] indus: brain fuck scheduler, preempt, 1000hz ticks, no dynamic ticks [11:37] besides that stock ubuntu kernel [11:37] ChaosR, brain what?is that the name of smething? [11:38] ChaosR, nvm that, what is 1000 ticks [11:38] indus: hehe, read on kernel material, basically all I did was make the desktop more responsive, nothing special [11:39] dreki: mount xxxx.iso /mnt -o loop -t iso9660 [11:39] its more tweaking than hacking what I did [11:39] how do I install googleearth? [11:39] indus: I was planning on opening a special desktop-kernel repository [11:40] anyways, rebooty time now, brb [11:40] !googleearth | crowx [11:40] crowx: Google Earth is now available, for free (only as in price), for Linux, too.

[11:47] BeGuy1, one sec [11:47] BeGuy1, its in the man file, says hit q [11:47] but this time i've tried smbpasswd -a -m compname [11:48] it works [11:48] ociugi, its not the computer name- its the account on the windows box [11:48] ok [11:49] ociugi, you may have to add the username to the user accounts in xp, im not too sure [11:49] ociugi: it's not the account on the windows box,... it's the usershare on the linux box [11:51] ociugi: don't forget to edit the config file in /etc/samba [11:51] yes, my problem is i can't print my document. i assume that the samba did not recognised the user [11:52] ello ello [11:52] ociugi: you're probably right,.. but don't forget to edit the config file in /etc/samba to allow for your printer to be shared,... it's not shared by default [11:53] actually i am the one connecting to winXP printer server [11:54] ociugi: i see,.. then it should work [11:54] once i print my document the printer keeps asking me the username and password [11:55] ociugi: does it allow you to print? === robert__ is now known as tass === zz_FeiRuoWa is now known as FeiRuoWa [11:55] no [11:55] because of the authentication [11:55] hi people. wondering what is going for the best VM software nowadays.

[12:06] Akos: but i don't think that this thing is available in newer versions.. my friends r using 9.10 [12:06] shreymech: no need to re-post, I can see your lines (: In the latest version of ubuntu, Ubuntu 9.10, this feature is available under the Sounds options [12:06] shreymech: in 9.10, right-click the volume control applet, click Sound Preferences, click the Applications tab.

[12:10] shreymech: well, you'll have to upgrade at some point. 8.10 is only supported until April...

[12:15] and back [12:15] Jingfeng: irc dosnt support the natively. Some clients will implement it but it depends on the client [12:16] New Question (again): what is the name of the package responsible for setting the correct keymap?

Is something like that possible? [12:51] themw: yeah, but then how do I restore the image? [12:51] what is 'deb-pkg'? [12:52] themw: how does the restore process work? Does it require me to still reinstall ubuntu or does it have a liveusb version? [12:52] ziroday: you can use a live distri like ubuntu or knoppix [12:53] Hi all. Evolution problem - new messages are not shown in Inbox anymore starting from yesterday. I contacted to system administrator and he checked that messages are really downloaded from server. What could be the problem? [12:53] themw: right, but then I'd have to burn another cd. I'd prefer if my backup image and the live system were all on one hard drive. Is that possible? [12:53] Why isnt my boot loader showing up [12:53] there you need a linux that is bootable from thumb-drive [12:54] xover: its a package specifically designed for debian, or its variants (such as ubuntu) [12:54] apt-get install svn doesn't wprk [12:54] themw: right...but Ubuntu does not ship with partimage by default does it? [12:54] mrp what is svn??? [12:54] i don't know [12:54] mrp: sudo apt-get install subversion :) [12:54] Quan-Time: is it a term for a debian package? [12:54] a use the image of knoppix [12:54] ziroday: ta :D [12:54] mrp: (also apt-cache search foo is really helpful) [12:55] mrp: yes you have to spell... [12:55] themw: hmm and will that overwrite the image file in any way? [12:55] archboxman: svn is the command [12:56] Quan-Time: does 'rpm-pkg' a term for an RPM package or is this the name of a tool/ [12:56] i didn't think about it too much... [12:56] ziroday: this will overwrite an old imagefile, that has the same name you give the new one [12:56] xover: rpm - [12:56] xover: rpm - redhat / fedora [12:56] themw: right... [12:56] its their style package [12:56] ziroday: but you can script this by youself, since partimage is an GUI for DD [12:56] mrp apt-cache search by file name not everything is that clear [12:57] Quan-Time: I know the difference, I just need to know what 'deb-pkg' and 'rpm-pkg' mean semantically!? [12:57] i've now installed the drivers for my ati 9600 on 8.04 from the hardware drivers menu and if I log in my screen blanks, i also cant login into gnome failsafe and i'm only on the console now. from the Xorg log I think the driver has loaded properly [12:57] ziroday: if you need a really small bootable system script partimage youself, using dd, tar and gzip [12:57] Quan-Time: Are they just terms, I havent heard it before [12:58] !ati [12:58] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [12:58] xover: oh.. sorry.. they are "pre compiled" packages.. if you get source, you compile it for your distro.. so it builds all the packages it needs.. a distro specific package, has everythnig you want done already. [12:58] themw: okay, I have a (fair) understanding of how to do that, however I was looking for something more shrink-wrapped. No worries, thanks! [12:58] i tried to install program and while ./configure it give me error No package 'glib-2.0' found . I have newer version of glib what should i do? [12:58] Quan-Time: I just realised they are 'targets for the make utility for creating packages' [12:58] ziroday: no problem, good luck! [12:58] xover: im not sure, but i THINK deb will work on fedora, but rpm WONT work on ubuntu.. but im not certain of that.. so someone else should really comment [12:59] Quan-Time: its the other way around, i have installed rpms on ubunut [12:59] !alien | Quan-Time [12:59] Quan-Time: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [13:00] xover: gotcha...

[13:50] I would like to let a bashscript configure my crontab jobs. But I can't figure out how to get the entry in the cron file. anyone? [13:51] Geekpirat: crontab should be configured manually [13:51] Geekpirat, have the script generate a text file of the crontab entries and then end the script by invoking crontab to load the text file [13:51] Geekpirat: other than that, pipe the output of your script to the users cron file [13:51] indus: see trying to push out updates to fast is ubuntu that is why I use archlinux... Really ubuntu needs to push back so of the release dates for a more stable kernel [13:51] indus: I use 2.6.31-17-generic, this bug is not fixed ? [13:51] Ayla, says no there doesnt it [13:52] no i guess [13:52] hi all [13:52] iam not sure [13:52] ikonia: I tried this. Someway wrong I guess. I will try it once more.

My laptop was an upgrade 9.04 to 9.10. My desktop was a fresh 9.10 installation. Both PCs, I frequently have a problem where my clicks register in the wrong window. If I try and resize, maximize, minimize, close, or drag the title bar, another window (usually the one I was just previously using) is affected instead and sometimes moves to the location of my mouse. Anybody else seen t [13:54] Hello! :) I boutght a new Hard Disk (SATA). I installed it and I checked reading velocity with "hdparm -t /dev/sdb" ...

Your 80 is a tiny bit slower, but it's not a catastrophy. Any number of factors can be that determining factor [14:02] ok, then I suppose is normal :) [14:02] thanks you both (ascheel and ikonia) :) [14:02] ikonia++ [14:03] on my other desktop, I'm getting 61.11 MB/sec.

[14:04] 73's [14:04] can you help me a little more ? :P I dont know how to organise my space in partitions [14:04] on the printers tab there is nothing there [14:04] aaronfc: what do you mean? [14:05] ??? [14:05] I mean, if I make partition for / and /home in different hard disks, it will be slower than if I make both in the same hard disk ? [14:05] eddym: this isn't the windows chat, sorry. [14:05] aaronfc: no they wont' be slower. If anything, it'll be faster. [14:05] I have an old 200Gb and a new 500Gb, and I don't know how to organise data (I've WinXP and Ubuntu) === andyeb--away is now known as andyeb-- [14:05] faster if I put it in different ? [14:06] Easy, dump the XP [14:06] jajaja [14:06] let me rephrase what i said ... im using my ubuntu laptop and my other computer is windows xp with a printer (shared printer) how can i use my ubuntu laptop to print [14:06] Old data goes to old disk and new data goes to new disk ;) [14:06] aaronfc: yes provided the data you use is on another drive and the primary OS is on the first one. [14:06] acura are phat cards [14:06] eddym: go to printers, click add a printer, see if it recognizes your printer right off the bat [14:07] ascheel, says no [14:07] ok, then what its better is that I make SO partitions (for windowsXP and ubuntu in first drive) and other data (like /home) in the second one :) ... ¿ what about swap ? [14:07] (sorry my bad english, im spanish :$) [14:07] eddym: that was one of the biggest things that impressed me with Ubuntu. At work, I immediately list about 20 printers to choose from. Won't find that in Windows. [14:08] ascheel, maybe i need to reboot the pc and laptop [14:08] Both my Ctrl keys are not working in Ubuntu Karmic, has anyone ever experienced that issue? [14:08] eddym: this is linux. You don't need to reboot. [14:08] eddym: sorry, I don't know how to access the printer over a Windows share, never done it. I'm sure it's easily done, I just don't know how [14:08] I've used the keyboard layout options to use Caps Lock as a Ctrl...but it is annoying nonetheless [14:09] ascheel: did you read me ? :) [14:09] eddym: go into the printer set up, add a printer, then at the bottom choose "Windows printer via SAMBA" [14:09] aaronfc: no I didn't. what did you say? [14:09] ascheel: ok, then what its better is that I make SO partitions (for windowsXP and ubuntu in first drive) and other data (like /home) in the second one :) ... ¿ what about swap ? (Sorry my bad english im spanish) [14:10] hola que tal [14:10] Hola [14:10] quien eres [14:10] xD creo que de los pocos españoles que estamos por aqui :P [14:10] not sure about swap space.

[14:17] salvachn, and kdevelop keeps on saying: "Config:: Impossible to open the file [./cmp.conf]" [14:17] salvachn, I know that the file exists [14:18] sirMajid: I'll boot kde n give it a try [14:18] change permissions maybe? [14:18] salvachn, I have set the permission to 777, still no luck [14:18] sirMajid: file permission, if there really is file or owner of file (and permissions are wrong) [14:18] im on ubuntu remix,im getting some lags i have 4gb ram and a 512mb graphics [14:18] anyway to fix it ? [14:19] ok. I'm working on one, and it works. [14:19] I can pass a file [14:19] simplexio, the command works from terminal, the error is just in kdevelop [14:19] I'm running f12 though [14:22] hi all [14:22] i need help in ubuntu [14:22] !ask | Adnan [14:22] Adnan: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [14:23] meh even i needed help [14:23] no reply yet :( [14:24] haseebh2O: with what? [14:24] Adnan what is your question? [14:24] im getting lags on ubuntu remix [14:24] sebsebseb: [14:24] OK ...... i am not able to ping or browse my network via Name when i assign Manual IP to my network card (eth0) while on DHCP it is working fine. i added DNS address in /etc/resolv.conf file also but not working..please help me [14:24] haseebh2O: when? [14:24] i have 512mb graphics and 4gb ram [14:24] from the beginning [14:24] everything works [14:25] except those lags [14:25] uh LOL [14:25] haseebh2O: and you installed the proper drivers for your video card? [14:25] thats what i cant find [14:25] its nvidia 9600M GT [14:25] someone please respond to my answer [14:25] Adnan: i always edit my /etc/hosts to have teh proper name/ip mapping. saves a lot of hassles. [14:25] i went to ubuntu software update typed nvidia and it told me to insert my ubuntu cd [14:26] when i tried downloading the drivers [14:26] haseebh2O: use the hardware-driver tool from the menus? [14:26] Adnan: I had this issue the other day.. when using network manager to change from dhcp to static I wouldn't be connected and couldn't ping.. I found I had to reboot, then switching from dhcp to static would actually work [14:26] haseebh2O: also use synaptic to remove the cdrom as a 'source' [14:26] i tried reboot many times [14:26] Adnan: ifup & ifdown didn't help .. sudo services networking restart didn't help.. rebooting helped [14:27] Dr_Willis: let me see [14:27] I have a Ubuntu Server 9.10 box with 2 NIC and I would like to make it a basic router, can anyone point me to a good guide? [14:27] already reboot system many times [14:27] Dr_Willis: i got 2 updates [14:27] !ics | YezYez [14:27] from nvidia [14:27] YezYez: If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [14:27] Adnan: then something else is going on.. sorry I thought my suggestion would help [14:27] one 175 and other 186 [14:28] which one should i be downloading ? [14:28] !ics [14:28] haseebh2O: the hardware driver tool lets you activate the specic drivers for a given card. It depends on your card. [14:28] Adnan: did you use the gui to change that from DHCP to static? Myabe you edited something incorrectly. [14:28] hmmm nops thanks for ur time to help me [14:28] Dr_Willis: i have tried that guide...it works fine but only for *one* pc! I would like to share internet with multiple pc's [14:28] haseebh2O: try the one that says reccmended.. or try the newest.. [14:28] aaah [14:28] k [14:28] first i tried GUI [14:28] YezYez: check out the ip-masquerading howto. [14:28] y a t'il des francais dans la salle svp [14:28] ok ty Dr_Willis [14:28] YezYez: Check the configuration of the PC, it should work for 100 [14:29] Dr_Willis: how can i remove cd from the source in synaptic manager ? [14:29] mguy: thats what i was thinking also... but ive not done ics in ages [14:29] YezYez: the guide should work with as many pc's as there are in the lan [14:29] mguy: the configuration is fine i think...al i have to do is enter the ubuntu box' ip as default gateway in the other pc's? [14:29] haseebh2O: using the repository manager feature. or it has its own icon in the admin menu [14:29] !repo | haseebh2O [14:29] haseebh2O: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [14:29] now i m doing it by confiugure of /etc/network/interfaces file [14:30] YezYez: If you're using DHCP (And it's properly configured) you will save yourself a lot of work [14:30] . [14:30] 小强 [14:30] mguy: i cannot use dhcp, because the other pc's are servers that reside on static ip's [14:30] ok im downloading [14:30] lets see [14:30] how small can the latest ubuntu be trimmed to? [14:30] YezYez: yes and fill the dns servers if needed [14:30] !minimal [14:30] 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 [14:31] erUSUL: yeah...all i did was enter those 3 lines in iptables, enabled kernel forwarding and configured 1 client and it worked. Soon as the 2nd client got configured there was no ICS anymore... [14:31] Toneloc: i recall some 200mb micro gui edition.. but i dont recall if that was the cd image suize.. or the installed size. [14:31] !hk | ehlim [14:31] ehlim: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [14:32] Toneloc: How small are you trying to make it? [14:32] I have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed but I still can't seem to stream windows video 9 videos, any suggestions? [14:32] any known issue lately with slow host resolution ? [14:32] thank you ubottu , good bot! [14:32] its not the network, as windowsboxes are as fast as usual [14:33] As minimal as possible [14:33] on karmic, it seems hosts arent cached [14:33] theyre looked up each time a host is accessed [14:33] Toneloc: Can you be more specific? If you're going for ultra- small, you might want to look at another distribution [14:33] Toneloc: tiny core linux = 10mb+ whatever you add... :) [14:34] yes, i will go with DSL [14:34] Dr_Willis- is that GUI? [14:34] Toneloc: DSL from what ive heard hasent got much development going on with it any more [14:34] surely not [14:34] Toneloc: yes. it has X in the 10mb [14:34] cool :) [14:34] driver support? [14:35] It has drivers.. yes... [14:35] anybody flying continental today or tomorrow? [14:35] Toneloc: wireless kernel modules = another 10mb or so download... [14:35] How do I convert a reciently ripped .m4v video file to .avi.. and will k3b write the .m4v file to a dvd for playback anywhere? [14:36] hi there [14:36] is it normal for the sudo su command to give full root acces without asking for the root password? [14:36] Izinucs: i use 'devede' to genreate a 'dvd iso' with menus - i then burn [14:36] i hope not... [14:36] :) [14:36] unimatrix9: yes if you've just used sudo and entered the password just a short time ago [14:36] unimatrix9: its best to use sudo -s, not sudo su for JUST that reason [14:36] ah okey [14:36] !sudo [14:36] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [14:36] pff [14:37] unimatrix9: sudo caches the permission for a while. Using sudo su isn't advicable anyway. [14:37] got a bit scared [14:37] hehe [14:37] sudo has a few min 'grace' period where it disent ask for the password. [14:37] Does it make ALL of a users sessions root or just that one [14:38] Dr_Willis: thanks.. but will it take the already created file and burn it to dvd? [14:38] mguy: sudo just does it for the current command... [14:38] mguy: only the current terminal session [14:38] Izinucs: you have to have the video files in the proper 'dvd' format for a dvd player to play them.. Devede does that.. and gerneates a dvd ISO file for you to burn along with a dvd menu [14:39] just that one user account, though,... right? Other users have to be set up to use sudo? [14:40] collabra: correct [14:40] collabra: by default just the initial user has sudo rights [14:40] i was learning the ubuntu certified stuff, from linux professional instutite , they have some standard things, and this was one assignment, the strange thing is afcause, we would do it different , as you suggested, maybe using gksu or something like that [14:40] collabra: and only until you close that terminal [14:40] ah [14:40] or the grace period lapses === googol is now known as Guest51167 [14:40] gksu && leaves the terminal open for other uses for example [14:40] buenos dias!! [14:41] :D [14:41] hi all [14:41] good morning!! [14:41] i guess over here are more professionals then at the institute, LOL [14:41] Dr_Willis: ah.. I used handbreak to rip but it created a .m4v. It use to have an avi option but I don't see that anymore.. thaks [14:41] bah does nobody travel here ? Does anybody know anyone flying on continental today or tomorrow?

[14:59] little english [14:59] ok [14:59] i really can't believe there's someone named "anyone" in here...

[15:02] YezYez: Research those terms on google, this is for Ubuntu-related topics [15:02] mguy: didnt install anything onto befor now [15:02] salz: But you ran the install at least once to create those partitions? [15:02] Hi folks, do any of you have VMware Server 2.0 running under Ubuntu Karmic? [15:02] I found periodic VM crashes occurring ... [15:03] mguy: nope. used the live-os + geparted [15:03] hoped that would solve the installation problems.

Try this: http://www.ubuntumini.com/2009/09/hack-karmics-gdm-login-screen.html [16:04] yes ubuntu 9.1 [16:04] Fauntix, open system/administration/synaptic package manager === eaglewatch is now known as EagleWatch [16:04] apt-get -f install [16:05] Fauntix, hit the "Edit" menu and click "Fix broken packages [16:05] coz_: I dont have it [16:05] lol [16:05] universe is enabled [16:05] glopal: Just ask your questions [16:05] Excuse my french, why the eff did they do that, the default login screen is the ugliest I have ever seen [16:05] In my life [16:05] And I doubt I will see something as ugly ever again in the future either [16:05] !language | Suva [16:05] @coz_: i dont see an edit [16:05] Suva: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [16:05] Liquid-Silence mm make sure all of the repositories are enabled [16:06] Fauntix, at the top of synatpic FIle...Edit...Package [16:06] Suva: agreed I don't like it either, to dark etc [16:06] Fauntix, the Edit menu item [16:06] Suva: by "they" mr_steve means upstream gnome. they rewrote gdm and it doesnt yet have all the old features back [16:06] Suva, agreed, and I for one use remote X sessions on occasion, which is no longer configurable through the GUI [16:06] Suva: and i guess someone thought the new theme looked good... [16:06] mr_steve: I know that fur thunar something is in developpent, so I might not be so easy just to start a service vor outside of gnome. [16:06] presumably at least theme selection will be added again at some point, but I bet remote X options are gone for good [16:06] Suva: anyway good news is, that you don't have to use that screen [16:07] Suva: their are other ones that can be used instead [16:07] XD [16:07] "Sane defaults" and all that... [16:07] Yes, but I have to start hacking to change it [16:07] @coz_: sorry i was in the wrong Update Man. ok I clicked the fix and nothing happened [16:07] inglis [16:07] Fauntix, now hit the Apply button [16:07] ? [16:07] Is it possible to have different backgrounds for each workspace in GNOME? [16:09] emghazal, yes - BUT you won't be able to use your "Desktop" for icons/shortcuts/etc - see http://paste.ubuntu.com/368270/ for instructions [16:09] now it wont let me open the update manager [16:09] hey there [16:09] !hi | hexa- [16:09] hexa-: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [16:09] Fauntix, ?? did it fix the broken packages [16:09] Suva: no KDM and XDM are both in the repo, so you can just install, tell it to use one of them, and that's that. The old GDM is also in the repo, but from what I read it seems it's not as simple as just installing it and using it. Slim is meant to be pretty good as well, but that's not in the repo. [16:09] is there any graphics driver related channel, because i am having issues with 32 bit mesa libs missing on 64 bit ubuntu with radeon driver. [16:10] @coz_: hold please [16:10] sebsebseb, the KDM has all the settings? [16:10] Suva: settings such as? [16:10] Such as ability to change theme? [16:10] Just curious, is there a list somewhere of all the factoids that ubottu knows? [16:11] where is device manager in this version [16:11] !bot > mr_steve [16:11] mr_steve, please see my private message [16:11] To something not as offensive as the default one [16:11] Aha, thanks Trek [16:11] Suva: as far as I know yes, but I am happy enough with the default theme, It's the KDE one by the way, so if you haven't put KDE stuff on before, it will want to install quite a bit. [16:12] how do i do quick drag and drop on any window from gnome-panel. it takes a second's lag before opening the second window! [16:12] can someone help me with bug #514299 please? [16:12] "https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ia32-libs/+bug/514299" [16:12] The default theme is seriously ugly though, I always feel like puking when restarting my computer :P [16:12] Suva: get a blue theme by default with KDM [16:12] Okay, let's try KDM then, thanks everyone!

Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es.

[16:14] hi there, can anyone lend me a hand on setting up an ati rage 128 pro higher than 800x600? [16:14] !ati | sinfor [16:14] sinfor: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [16:16] but, i think it's some legacy ati === darko is now known as Guest69794 [16:16] will it work ? [16:16] sinfor: Mine works and its Legacy === Guest69794 is now known as darkom [16:17] ok so i should follow that guide [16:17] i'll start reading [16:17] If I have a bash script on a server that uses ~. And I execute it from a client computer, does it refer to the server's home, or the client's home? [16:17] sinfor: rage 128 should use the radeon driver, not the fglrx driver that the factoid refers to. [16:17] where did u downloaded your driver? i couldn't find it on the ati site [16:18] ¿quien habla español? [16:18] !es > ignacio [16:18] ignacio, please see my private message [16:18] ignacio: no. escribe /join #ubuntu-es por espanol [16:18] glopal: it always refers to the users-home running the script [16:18] sinfor: Its included with Ubuntu. ATI does not have a proprietary driver for that card anymore. [16:19] Thanks. [16:19] glopal: so server-user runs the script, ~ = server users-home [16:19] who espeak spanish? [16:19] glopal: better use absolute pathes [16:19] * Flare-Laptop laughs [16:19] could someone paste a full xorg.conf for me? i erased it on the experimenting [16:20] sinfor: xorg.conf is normally empty or missing. New versions of xorg do not need it. [16:20] if I decide to dualboot lucid, is it a bad idea to use the same /home for Lucid and Karmic? [16:20] Ignacio, tienes que ir a #ubuntu-es si quieres encontrar a alguien que habla español [16:20] h00k, heya! It probably is, if you're using the same username for both [16:21] h00k: Probably, but best to ask in #ubuntu+1 as always :) [16:21] Which is the best mac-like dock? [AWN/Gnome-Do/etc/etc..?] [16:21] mr_steve: Yeah, I'd be using the same username/password as to not break /home's encryption [16:21] Pici if it is missing and newer Xorg versions dont need it, how can you make changes that will stick with a reboot ? [16:21] Pici: good call. [16:21] h00k, I'd think that if newer versions of software make changes to your dotfiles, the old versions might break [16:22] SikEnCide: If its there, then xorg will honor it. [16:22] mr_steve: yeah, that crossed my mind, also. [16:22] Say i wanted to burn an iso with wodim ... but the iso was on the network ... and i am connected via smb .. how would i burn it === Guest5112 is now known as ldlework [16:24] anyone know a better driver for audio for hp g60-535dx?

[AWN/Docky/etc/etc..?] [16:24] !best | overlord [16:24] overlord: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [16:25] anyone know how to find a better driver for my hp? [16:25] googleit, well there is the possibility of compiling your own alsa driver however.... I would go to the #alsa channel and discuss your car and the driver there before attempting and compiles [16:26] googleit, I meant discuss your card not your car :) [16:26] I mount a samba share using 'connect to server,' and selecting window share. The following test fails even though the file exists. "test -f ~/.gvfs/homes\ on\ server/LatestBuild/dist/CrystalWare.jar" Is homes on server a symbolic link (Its blue in the term), and is that why the test fails? [16:26] ubottu: yea, i mean..most familiar to the mac dock [16:26] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [16:26] haha thanks [16:26] overlord: don't respond directly to Ubottu, its a bot [16:27] h00k: ea, i mean..most familiar to the mac dock [16:27] Trek: my bad. [16:27] hi #ubuntu. where do I put upstart init files in a debian/ directory so that dh_installinit will find them? (or, alternatively, how do I tell dh_installinit what files to use?) [16:27] kreuter, Ubuntu or Debian? [16:27] kreuter, which you using? [16:27] both, ultimately. [16:28] overlord: give them a shot, I suppose. I'm a big gnome-do/Docky fan [16:28] Trek: howabout Ubuntu first? :) [16:28] overlord: my girlfriend prefers AWN, [16:28] kreuter: i asked because there should be a Debain support channel. [16:28] i'm unsure where it goes though, kreuter [16:28] Trek: #debian ? [16:29] Trek, krueter's reffering to makeing .deb packages [16:29] indeed, I am. [16:29] hi.. are dumpe2fs and xfsrestore compatible? [16:29] ah, then i don't know, kreuter [16:29] sorry [16:29] I'm not sure if there's like an ubuntu-packaging channel or simmilar [16:29] h00k: i've tried both..but am confused. i think awn hogs a lotta memory. [16:29] kreuter: #ubuntu-motu should be able to help with packaging questions. [16:29] I suppose you could ask in #ubuntu-motu [16:29] oh, alright. thanks. [16:30] Can any help me please?

[18:00] do i need a reboot after purge [18:00] SpaceGhostC2C, do i need a reboot after purge [18:00] <`mOOse`> SpaceGhostC2C, for this exercise I was going to backup grub.d [18:00] Der, you shouldn't need to reboot after purging a package [18:00] <`mOOse`> (which is a dir) [18:00] Der, at least I don't think so [18:01] erusul [18:01] SpaceGhostC2C, i purged now intall again i guess, any reboot needed? [18:01] Der, you should never have to reboot for installing or removing a package. [18:01] u can edit it to change boot loading time [18:01] SpaceGhostC2C, ok then i guess am done but still no sound [18:01] Der: reboot to make sure your sound drivers reload [18:02] Der: reboot to make sure your sound drivers reload after reinstal * [18:02] Trek, will do, and come back, brb [18:02] Trek, does he actually need the reboot though? Can't he simply reload gdm and modprobe? [18:02] `mOOse`, you can try this. (one sec) [18:02] reboots are very infrequent with linux :) [18:02] how do I uninstall something I installed with "make install" ? [18:02] SpaceGhostC2C: i usually reboot after messing with the sound drivers, as if I mess with them, they go *poof* until I reboot [18:03] `mOOse`, try this link to do what you need. http://www.metatitan.com/linux/5/how-to-tar-untar-from-the-command-line.html [18:03] on Ubuntu [18:03] any ideas about why my crontab isn't working? I've had this issue before with ubuntu, can't remember how to fix it [18:03] Akkernight, you'd need to manually remove the files. [18:03] btw, changed the scheduling to * * * * * [18:03] underdog5004, we need moar info. [18:03] SpaceGhostC2C, any way of seeing what files were installed? [18:03] hello, I have a crontab entry that executes a script that does some getmail magic. When I use the script manually, it works, but crontab is not automatically executing the script. What is going on here? I made sure the user was added to the crontab group and restarted my computer to ensure the changes applied. [18:03] I can post the crontab line if applicable [18:03] Akkernight, try timestamps maybe to see what newly created files were made. [18:04] * * * * * mail sh /var/mail/getmail.sh [18:04] hello [18:04] can anybody help me? I have a little problem [18:04] <`mOOse`> thanks SpaceGhostC2C [18:04] SpaceGhostC2C, still after reboot with failiure [18:04] Santiago: Ask your question if someone can help they will try [18:04] Trek, still with failiure [18:04] <`mOOse`> erUSUL, do you think you can help me sort out this grub problem? [18:04] SpaceGhostC2C & Der: Is it at all possible we're looking at hardware issues instead of driver issues? [18:04] <`mOOse`> I'd really appreciate it! [18:05] Trek, not if the livecd has sound through the sound card and his install doesn't. [18:05] SpaceGhostC2C && Trek, i mentioned it was working b4, and it works with windows and ubuntu live cd [18:05] `mOOse`, I'd personally ask erUSUL he's a genius. [18:05] SpaceGhostC2C && Trek, i guess that rukes out h/w problems [18:05] hi all, i'm upgrading the version of Ubuntu and wanted to delete(rename) all dot directories to start fresh. What's a quick way to loop through all directories beggining with . and renaming them by adding a suffix ? (Bash) thanks [18:05] `mOOse`, I still use grub-legacy. [18:05] <`mOOse`> hehe - I think I just did :-) [18:06] interesting, never seen that happen, Der & SpaceGhostC2C. It does rule out hardware issues. [18:06] <`mOOse`> this is 1.97 beta4 [18:06] ok, I have a removable disk of about 250Gb, and I've just formatted it in Ext2 format. with Gparted, now the problem is that I'm not able to copy anything into it. Even create a folder is impossible and I don't know the reason [18:06] Der && SpaceGhostC2C: we confirmed the correct drivers were installed by the livecd? [18:06] <`mOOse`> which is what came with xubuntu [18:06] `mOOse`, that's grub2. [18:06] <`mOOse`> yes [18:06] Trek, they had worked prior to some program he installed, but didn't like and removed. [18:06] <`mOOse`> grub2 [18:06] Hi i'm using a wireless broadband device and i'v had a problem whereby it connects to the internet but my system doesn't recognise it as the internet connection occasionally it does work however so I am just relying on luck at the moment? [18:06] SpaceGhostC2C && Trek, i didnt quite get ur last Qn [18:06] Santiago: cp -v file /your/disk [18:06] <`mOOse`> (which has put 2 out now) [18:07] Der, we haven't asked any, we're helping eachother troubleshoot. [18:07] SpaceGhostC2C && Trek, oh ok =P [18:07] blakkheim, I don't understand, you mean use the terminal? [18:07] Santiago: yes [18:07] <`mOOse`> I'm guessing erUSUL is busy hehe [18:07] * `mOOse` sighs [18:08] `mOOse`, he'll be back, he always comes back. That's why we love him :) [18:08] I may have fixed the problem. Apparently, cron needs cron.deny in /etc to be empty for everyone to use crontab, but ubuntu doesn't come with any cron.deny file, so it restricts cron use to just root. Not ideal :/ [18:08] Der && SpaceGhostC2C: have we confirmed that the program he installed didn't mess with which drivers are loaded? this happened to be on several occasiopns, different programs, different system configs, but same basic concept [18:08] wow, I can't type... [18:08] <`mOOse`> :))) [18:08] blip-: you'd prob be better off just doing `mkdir blah && mv .* blah/` [18:08] blakkheim, what does it mean? the option -v on the comand cp? [18:08] Santiago: yes [18:08] Trek, He also tried a dpkg-reconfigure on the sucker too. [18:09] because I think it's a permission problem [18:09] SpaceGhostC2C && Trek, thats why my basic qn from the beginning was, how can i reconfigure my sound card, like the drivers, and configs... [18:09] pweezy, I don't think that's what he needs. He needs to use a combination of globbing and find and rm. [18:09] hi [18:09] Der && SpaceGhostC2C: interesting that after a dpkg-reconfigure and purge/reinstall the issue remains... [18:09] Der, we're trying to figure those things out. Give us another second [18:10] !hi | nikki_ [18:10] nikki_: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [18:10] pweezy: oh right that's much easier :) Do I need to close down all my programs first ? I see things like .qt .mozilla etc.. [18:10] Hi i'm using a wireless broadband device and i'v had a problem whereby it connects to the internet but my system doesn't recognise it as the internet connection occasionally it does work however so I am just relying on luck at the moment? [18:10] Der && SpaceGhostC2C: sorry I send to both, I use the previous-message keymapping on my IRC client [18:10] blip-, you want to remove all your user settings? [18:10] Trek, that's fine with me. [18:11] SpaceGhostC2C && Trek, like when ubuntu 1st installed, how did it configure my sound card, cant i do that proccess again? [18:11] Der && SpaceGhostC2C: Short of a repair install, i'm not sure if there's a way to get rid of this error... [18:11] Der && SpaceGhostC2C: but I don't normally recommend such an attempt, as you lose your data... [18:11] Der, there is a possibility, if you can find the alsa config files, that you can copy them to your hard disk from the livecd. Boot from the livecd. [18:11] SpaceGhostC2C && Trek, ah no pliz, i use this system 4 my develoment work [18:12] Der, read spaceghost's message [18:12] Can someone help me with my network manager problem sometimes when I restart and it connects via my wireless modem when i go to use firefox it says not connected [18:12] <`mOOse`> SpaceGhostC2C, hehe - well that tutorial on the command to back up a dir doesn't work :-) [18:12] <`mOOse`> tar -cvf backup.tar somefolder/ <--- no go [18:12] frederic185: Instead of repeating here, try posting on ubuntuforums.org [18:12] frederic185: Can you ping google from terminal , "ping www.google.com"? [18:12] Der, my thought is to boot from the livecd, locate all sound related configs and copy them to your hard drive in the proper locations. Backup the files before you move any new ones on. [18:13] `mOOse`, what command did you use exactly? [18:13] <`mOOse`> sudo tar -cvf grub.d_bak.tar grub.d/ <--- that was mine [18:13] frederic185, you don't have to go anywhere else. [18:13] SpaceGhostC2C && Trek, sounds great but there must be manyy files in many places =S [18:13] blakkheim, doing an example, if I do this: cp -v /home/santiago/blabla.pdf /dev/sdc1 . it's ok? [18:13] yo yo yo [18:13] jellow: i can do it now but before I wasn't able to, i was relying on luck by continuously restarting the computer until it eventually worked [18:13] Santiago: no, you want to copy to the mountpoint, not the raw device [18:13] nope, haven't fixed the problem :( [18:13] frederic185, it's possible that your router or gateway isn't connected to the internet. Not sure. [18:14] SpaceGhostC2C: hmm maybe not all but i'll be doing an upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 and thought it was a safe move [18:14] ActionParsnip, morning fella. [18:14] SpaceGhostC2C: it's a 3g wireless modem [18:14] hello all, I just installed Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy using netboot on my laptop and the update manager is telling me I am up to date which is obviously a lie... How can I fix that? [18:14] SpaceGhostC2C: I mean a good idea to delete them and recreate [18:14] <`mOOse`> oooo!!! I was IN the dir - I had to back out one dir to /etc/ [18:14] <`mOOse`> doh [18:14] SpaceGhostC2C, 6:15pm morning ;) [18:14] armence: sudo aptitude update; sudo aptitude full-upgrade [18:14] blakkheim, I don't understand [18:14] blip-, everything should be good from the upgrade, no need to remove any home folder files. [18:14] frederic185: Not a fix but next time try sudo /etc/init.d/network restart [18:14] ActionParsnip, that's what I meant. [18:14] Santiago: /dev/sdc is the actual device, you need to mount it to your filesystem before you can copy stuff to it [18:15] ActionParsnip, do yo know much about sound drivers and configs of the like and such? [18:15] Santiago: sudo mkdir /mnt/test; sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/test [18:15] jellow: thanks i'll write it down [18:15] blakkheim, you actually need to mount the partition, not the whole device :) [18:15] does anyone know why fglrx would give me a flashing tty7 instead of launching X on startup? [18:15] SpaceGhostC2C && Trek, there must be many files in many places =S how do i find them all? [18:15] SpaceGhostC2C: see my previous message [18:15] SpaceGhostC2C: ah ok. I guess i'll just go ahead and upgrade [18:15] Der, not quite sure mate. [18:15] thanks SpaceGhostC2C [18:15] SpaceGhostC2C, zero. I have never had to mess with sound. always worked 100% OOTB [18:15] I've lost many hours trying to upgrade my dual boot laptop to a larger hard drive -- I think I'm close to getting it working, but I could use some help. I've detailed the situation in the following pastebin http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d69f6c7c0 [18:16] Also, I am on a relatively old laptop using GNOME... I heard XFCE is more lightweight... Should I expect a significant performance improvement if I switched? Would I loose much functionality? [18:16] so blakkheim , it's /media/disk [18:16] ? [18:16] any help would be much appreciated [18:16] blakkheim, I see now. [18:16] armence: No, and no [18:16] Santiago: that is a valid mount point, yes [18:16] hey, I want to install a bootable ubuntu live image on a harddrive so i can then attach the harddrive to a different computer - is there a way to do that and if, how? [18:16] hmmn, still leaves my conclusio ryt about ubuntu, i hate this situation...=[ [18:16] what is wireshark???? [18:16] mguy: thanks [18:16] ActionParsnip, we're in the same boat. [18:16] !wireshark [18:16] ubottu has no idea, just like me. [18:16] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [18:16] Santiago,to write to a partition you must first mount it, you cannot put data onto raw partitions like /dev/sdc1 etc etc [18:16] wireshark is a wireless sniffing app [18:16] erm s/wireless/network [18:16] frederic185: Make sure it not problems with your I.S.P , You said was only wifi which had problems? [18:16] SpaceGhostC2C,I don't buy creative garbage, zero issues :D [18:16] Arabus: You can do it with a USB stick it should be the same for a USB hard drive. You will want to create a persistant file that you can save your data in [18:17] ActionParsnip, you can too, it's just not a safe practice :) [18:17] !info wireshark > vikashagrawal199 [18:17] armence: How old is your laptop? [18:17] ActionParsnip, good point. [18:17] guess that doesn't work === eaglewatch is now known as EagleWatch [18:17] SpaceGhostC2C,i prefer to advise users on safe practices ;) [18:17] armence: Better question what CPU, MHz, RAM, and graphics card [18:17] jellow: no it's not a problem with the isp or the modem it's a problem with ubuntu not seeing the internet connection on the modem [18:17] mguy problem is following, i can not boot from usb - the computer will only boot from its hard drive - so i have to use the hard drive as boot device [18:17] yes I know that... I connect the disk to the computer, and it mount the partition.. so the problems is tha nautilus don't allows me to write into the disk..but the partition is mounted [18:18] Hmm.. how do I fix this error? http://paste-it.net/private/d4cc0b2/ <- raiddevice 1 is removed? :s [18:18] what do i do my audio is totally messed up, i need it to work again..... [18:18] ? [18:18] ActionParsnip, I guess that's sound advice :) [18:18] jellow: i just don't know how to say hey here is my internet connection ubuntu use it [18:18] if my server has close certain ports is it possible to open them [18:18] plz blakkhein info on wireshatk [18:18] Arabus: Can you boot to USB from a menu or commandline in GRUB [18:18] <`mOOse`> erUSUL?

[18:19] armence, sudo lshw -C display will tell you [18:19] SpaceGhostC2C, my opinion ubuntu as desktop shudnt exist, as a server is amazing but thats IT [18:19] Is anyone from India? I need help to understand a sentence. Please help. :) [18:19] witam [18:19] armence: Probably intel graphics. That shouldn't be too bad of a setup. They do make smaller and lighter linux distributions. What functionality do you require? [18:19] Der, thank goodness you're not the SADFL then, huh?

You might want to try Fluxbox or like I said something like ArchLinux or DSL [18:21] my friends there is some sh key like dat [18:21] mguy: oh... OK, thanks [18:21] main hun india se [18:21] Der, well, I've not reinstalled ubuntu in about 3 years, same time as my lfs distro. I've fixed every error that comes my way. [18:21] Der: cool story bro [18:21] i need help [18:21] diod cam [18:21] puchlo agar kuch puchna hai [18:21] vikashagrawal199, as long as you have the sshclient on the server you can do it. [18:22] ActionParsnip, yes I know that... I connect the disk to the computer, and it mount the partition.. so the problems is tha nautilus don't allows me to write into the disk..but the partition is mounted [18:22] how????????? [18:22] blakkheim, that wasn't very nice, bro. [18:22] please help [18:22] <`mOOse`> I have gotten driven-by [18:22] I'm dealing with a bit of a night mare, trying to get linux to boot on my new drive. [18:22] ???

This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude [18:22] Santiago, use beter mount options in fstab or command line when you mount it. I'm guessing its an ntfs partition [18:22] OK, back to my original problem, I just installed Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy and it is lying telling me it's up to date, aptitude update; aptitude full-upgrade just repeated the lie... [18:22] TomV_415, windows = garbage, ubuntu needs work [18:22] vikashagrawal199, does the server have an ssh client on it? [18:23] armence: you are up to date then [18:23] Der: Yes, Macs are good. I have been using ubuntu day to day for 6 months now, and love it. [18:23] So yeah. Remote desktop is ok. but im looking for a way to connect to my home computer remotely and without any more burocrasy access its harddrives and what not. What does application are im looking for? [18:23] i am new to irc so couldnt follow [18:23] Der, wouldn't you argue that all need work? Also offtopic mates. [18:23] SpaceGhostC2C, thanks, I pm'd you. [18:23] ActionParsnip, mmm but it have an unique partition in ext2, I've just done it with gparted [18:23] blakkheim: But I'm obviously not, the look and feel is clearly not Ubuntu 9.10 [18:23] vikashagrawal199, you need ssh client on server. [18:23] Shogoot, for remote file access use ssh [18:23] armence: oh you want to upgrade your ubuntu version? [18:23] armence: not sure I understand you.. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade .. and that last bit *will not* take you to the next release.. [18:23] ActionParsnip im gonna look ssh up [18:23] Santiago, then add an entry in fstab so users have full access to it [18:24] TomV_415, am talking only desktops not servers, and yes SpaceGhostC2C i guess they all need work, but macs need the least most [18:24] i it in my systes ir synaptic [18:24] frederic185: Run sudo lshw -C network [18:24] ActionParsnip any guide you already know of you can trow at me? [18:24] blakkheim: Well, yes... I assume that the new version has some benefits [18:24] frederic185: and post output to pastebin [18:24] Der: this is a support channel. time to move on. [18:24] Hi all, ive tried to upgrade a server to lucid today and, well, ive big troubles (i was expecting them), biggest one is mountall not working because its not able to contact udev via socked. Udevd is not running if i try to start it by hand it says "error initializing netlink socket" [18:24] Any idea? [18:24] Shogoot, it uses encryption, you can also launch x based apps over it too to have the app running on the server but displayed on the client, no need for remote desktop then :) [18:24] so here's a funky issue. I had Ubuntu. everything worked good but it was running too slowly. changed to Xubuntu with xfce. my SATA hdd has disappeared. what has happened? [18:25] Hey, we need to get on topic. If you all want to chat about best OS, go to #ubuntu-offtopic [18:25] Shogoot, run: sudo apt-get install openssh-server and you will have all you need [18:25] sipior, well support me then....soundcard dosent work anymore, can you help me [18:25] I'd love to chat about it there. [18:25] pdg1: you mean the icon on the desktop? [18:25] Der: only if you plan on being more specific. [18:25] thanks ActionParsnip. [18:25] pdg1, run: mount it will tell you what is mounted where [18:25] Izinucs, no. the drive can't even be found by gparted. I didn't touch any of the hardware when i reinstalled it [18:25] ok i will try ActionParsnip , just a question.. I want to use this disk to do backups so if I need to do this work with fstab on all my systems it's not so convenient, do you suggest me to use another file system like fat32? is this a thing tha happened with ext2? [18:25] Izinucs: Yes, that is correct [18:25] sipior, after i installed userful multiplier [hated it] uninstalled it, i dont hear audio any more [18:25] pdg1, if its not mounted, mount it [18:26] Izinucs: Is it not supposed to do so? [18:26] is it pastbinit that i can apt-get? [18:26] Santiago, fat32 isnt robust to random power offs, ntfs is much sturdier [18:26] !info pastebinit | pdg1 [18:26] pdg1: pastebinit (source: pastebinit): command-line pastebin client. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.11.2-1 (karmic), package size 22 kB, installed size 344 kB [18:26] sipior, it would be great if i can fully reconfigure every sound h/w aspect, while am running my desktop, instead of making a new install [18:26] ActionParsnip, but it also has read write across all major platforms, amirite? [18:27] Der: what sort of card? also, have you contacted the makers of the software that you installed? [18:27] blakkheim: How can I go to the next release? Well, the latest release actually? [18:27] SpaceGhostC2C,yes but so can ntfs as well as ext2/3/4 [18:27] ActionParsnip, but ntfs is proprietary.. and I use only GNU/Linux systems, ubuntu jaunty, and ArchLinux [18:27] Santiago,then use ext4 or ext2 if its a flash based storage === ares_ is now known as Guest81642 === EagleWatch is now known as eaglewatch [18:27] sipior, i didnt contact them, its a problem on ubuntu, my system, i just need audio, reconfigured figured this is the ""ryt place"" [18:27] ActionParsnip, wait, native support for ext fs's? [18:28] armence: if you're on 8.04 it would be faster just to reinstall with the latest, you can't skip versions. OR you can wait until lucid comes out in april and update directory to it [18:28] armence: you mean take you to the next release by using sudo apt-get dist-upgrade? no.. it won't take you to the next release.. if you want to do that go to System>Admin>Upgrade manager and in there you'll see a button to upgrade to the next release.. however if you're on 8.04 you may want to wait until April of this year when 10.04 is released.. You'll be able to upgrade directly to that instead of one release at a time. [18:28] Der: and did sound work after you installed multiplier? [18:28] ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/f45bf3a0 [18:28] SpaceGhostC2C, sure, you just need better options when its mounted [18:28] ok thanks for the advice ActionParsnip [18:28] sipior, yes it worked, but after i rebooted, it stopped [18:28] Der: "userful multiplier" is not a supported ubuntu package, to my knowledge. again, what type of card? [18:29] i have a 250GB HDD, and i am going to replace by a 750 GB HDD , shall i made some change in fstab ?howt o mount it ? [18:29] ActionParsnip, I was talking cross-platform. If I work in a mac/windows/linux environment where I can't tweak much, wouldn't fat32 be the best choice? possibly ntfs. [18:29] sipior, i dunno its a builtin one, on the intel motherboard, with the optiplex 755 [18:29] Dell [18:29] pdg1, then mount the partition using fstab or command line, nautilus may be able to mount it [18:29] blakkheim, Izinucs: I'll just upgrade... I had to install from netboot because the CD-drive was shot and I had heard that it only worked with 8.04 which is why I am in 8.04 === daniel is now known as Dannyboy [18:30] #ubuntu-pl [18:30] Izinucs: Is the Upgrade manager different from the update manager? [18:31] Izinucs: Because if it is, I don't have it and if they are the same, it doesn't give me an upgrade button [18:31] Hello. I'm getting a weird error, I'm trying to source a file, like this: source my_file, however I get the error "bash: source: no such file or directory", is it possible for source not to be installed?! (I'm positive the file exist, I just created it) [18:31] mguy: I used UNetBootin now to install a livecd to the harddrive and attached it to the other computer...

FYI Lucid Alpha2 probably only suitable for testing on a server right now. Best of luck.

[18:33] i have a 250GB HDD, and i am going to replace by a 750 GB HDD , shall i made some change in fstab ?howt o mount it ? [18:33] Der: i would recommend you contact Userful's support line. their software (or its removal) broke your computer, and they would have a better idea of what their (closed source?) product did to your system.

I've already put absolute paths into the script and put a PATH var in my crontab, no luck :( [18:40] hi, what does mutt use to send the mail? [18:40] SpaceGhostC2C: i have a feeling the only thing he needs fixed is his sense of humour :-) [18:40] underdog5004: what are you trying to do in your cron [18:41] hi, how can i chose how to send the mail with mutt with something i configured in sendmail.cf ? like DSsmtp.tele2.it ? [18:41] * * * * * mail sh /var/mail/getmail.sh http://pastebin.com/m72e2b8d7 <-- script I'm running [18:41] sipior, depends on the joke. [18:41] and there's a newline character after the end of the crontab entry [18:41] hi, can someone help me with a hi res custom modeline [18:41] I've also made an /etc/cron.deny file (empty) [18:42] hello, i'm having trouble upgrading: upon dist-upgrade dpkg tries to configure python and fails, at which time many other things that depend on python fail to be configured and dpkg dies [18:42] http://pastebin.com/m193495b9 [18:42] that's the dpkg spitout from configuring python [18:42] underdog5004: so, you're trying to execute the mail command at every minute of every day?

[18:42] `mOOse`, you should re ask now. [18:42] i know theres a fast way to change from gnome to kde..... was it sudo apt-get install kde"?

[18:43] i'm having trouble dist-upgrading: when i dist-upgrade it fails to configure the new version of python which in turn fails over to the things that depend on python [18:43] http://pastebin.com/m193495b9 [18:43] SpaceGhostC2C, then what can it be ? [18:43] erUSUL, remember he's trying to fix grub2 [18:43] that's the spitout from trying to configure python with dpkg [18:44] underdog5004: well, it should go something like this '* * * * * /path/to/script' [18:44] yep [18:44] hi, can someone help me with a hi res custom modeline [18:44] after i add a user to a group, is there a way to refresh that somehow? [18:44] * * * * * mail sh /var/mail/getmail.sh [18:44] aaronfc, any number of things mate. Has it always been "slow" to you? It's a relative thing. [18:44] hei damn [18:45] erichynds, you'd have to restart if you are that user. I think you can get away with restarting gdm. [18:45] underdog5004: you should be taking out your "mail sh" [18:45] does anyone know why python is failing to be configured by dpkg? [18:45] are you sure? [18:45] underdog5004: does your script work from the command line? [18:45] SpaceGhostC2C, yes since I installed this new version. But WinXP and old Kubuntu and ubuntu versions, worked well. Now when I open for example 2 folders, it takes a while to open them :S [18:45] <`mOOse`> erUSUL, I have XP on C: and Win7 on G: and Xubuntu on a flashdrive usb....when I was installing Xubuntu Grub2 complained that I was trying to install the bootloader to a directory and not an MBR....but it did it. Works ok when I boot from the USB - get the Grub2 menu...but when I try to boot without the flashdrive in the port, my windows boot menu is gone and there's just GRUB printed in the top left corner of my screen [18:45] * `mOOse` takes a breath [18:45] SpaceGhostC2C: how can i restart gdm? [18:45] Hiram, yep [18:45] underdog5004: yes. the only argument that should be in your cron is the time/single command. [18:46] ok... [18:46] hello, I am using ubuntu 8.04lts and I have errors in command line.perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C"). locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory [18:46] erichynds, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart.

[18:46] <`mOOse`> so I look in the MBR sector of my HD and in the text it says Grub Error and other nonsense [18:46] `mOOse`: the files that grub needs to fully boot properly are in the usb flash drive. no flash drive no joy. [18:46] underdog5004:you don't need to start it with "sh" because the very first thing your script does is declare what shell its using. [18:46] <`mOOse`> hmmm [18:46] underdog5004, have you tested the script seperately? [18:47] whoohoo, it's working! [18:47] thanks a lot, I really appreciate your help! [18:47] Hiram, assuming it has a executable bit. [18:47] hi, can someone help me with a hi res custom modeline [18:47] <{g}> Hey People! I want to find out the maximum resolution my Amilo SI 1520 supports when used with an external monitor. Any ideas how I do that? [18:47] <`mOOse`> but in the Grub2 boot menu there are 2 entries aside from the linux kernels....they both say Win7 and neither of them boot me to windows! === traveller_ is now known as traveller [18:47] SpaceGhostC2C: well, yeah.

It's slow (Ubuntu 9.10) [18:47] <`mOOse`> that is when I boot off the usb ^ [18:47] `mOOse`: you will have to restore the windows bootloader. if you have a windows installcd you can boot with it and enter a recovery console (press f8 druing boot) iirc) and run "fixmbr" [18:48] <`mOOse`> ok...let me try that now [18:48] <`mOOse`> thanks [18:48] So now that we've done some scripting, how about getting into memory allocation? ... anyone? [18:48] does anyone know about ubuntu 8.04 lts [18:48] `mOOse`: next time when asked where to nstall grub choose the usb disk [18:48] aaronfc: computer specs? [18:48] is this too old for a server?

[18:58] how to map these lvm's to another /dev/mapper [18:58] haven489: If there was a way to recover it, something would be wrong, you can change it to a new one though..(see others links) [18:58] erUSUL: TYTYTYTYTYTYTYTYTYTYTYTYTYTYTY [18:58] michaeldobrovits: I do see that Gparted doesn't understand the partion, but Disk Utils sees everythnig [18:59] I've some kind of problem with Ubuntu 9.10.

My processor is Athlon 64 (2Ghz) and I've 2GB RAM. The problem is that it takes about 5 or more seconds to open for example a folder, or when I minimize or maximixe a window :S .... It cannot be normal. Please if anybody can help me :) ... Top reports only Xorg consuming 26% at intervals, but it get back to 2 or 3% in a moment....

Could it be related to large HD, 500GB? [19:07] riccardo: and not a full blown mta like sendmail [19:07] riccardo, meaning the fast double post. It wasn't personal.
