LiveCDtroubleanybody familiar with customizing the livecd? in particular, the "F2" boot menu editing within chroot...00:07
unixalotgeo: these are the 2.4 drivers00:07
NET||abuseIdleOne, right clicking on the nm-applet and looking at the  Enable Networking and Enable Wireless   checkboxes, the Wireless one is greyed out.00:07
unixalotgeo: and you have to do all that then go in synaptic and type in xorg-video00:08
unixalotgeo: then use the 2.400:08
unixalotgeo: were you trying to change it threw the xorg.conf?00:08
geounixalot: no..00:09

ubottuUse hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname  and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly.00:19
MenZaunop: That's what I thought; but /etc/hostname doesn't exist00:19

NET||abusei'm at my witt's end here,, why does nm-applet / network manager not understand my wireless ? Using standard bcm4328 with STA driver, it knows eth5 is a wifi card, it just greys out the Enable Wireless option??00:24
archboxmanNET||abuse: I was not yesterday was I00:25
unixalotNET||abuse: Is there a physical switch for your wifi?00:25
NET||abusearchboxman, sorry?00:25
Jef91NET||abuse - what Ubuntu version?00:25
NET||abuseunixalot, yes, there is but it is on,, I have been putting up with this problem for 3 weeks.00:25
unixalotNET||abuse: What ubuntu do you use?00:26
NET||abuseunimatrix, it flaked out about a moth ago, i have tried on an off to re-install all drivers, tried fwcutter, everything, nm-applet will not let me enable wireless,, on command line i can do iwlist eth5 scanning and i see all the networks around00:26
NET||abuseunixalot, Jef91 karmic00:26
archboxmanNET||abuse: Does the SAT driver work??? I helped a person with a dell netbook with the same wifi card built in does that work for you card???00:26
NET||abusearchboxman, what is SAT?00:27
archboxmanNET||abuse: meant STA broadcom driver does it work???00:27
unixalotNET||abuse: can you paste the results of lspci00:27
NET||abusearchboxman, this is latitude d630 with bcm4328 rev 03, i am using the STA right now and with that i can iwlist eth5 scanning.00:28
fbc-mxhelp! How do I move my home directory to a new machine? I tried a live CD but I can't copy folders that I don't have permission to in my home dir.00:28
unixalothave you tried like ifconfig down, then up?? lol00:28
unixalotMine was doing this a long time ago but i forget how i fixed it, I think it was physically switched off00:28
panfistis debian only insecure because it's not as updated or through some other flaw? do you have a citation?00:29
amageecan i make a particular command that normally requires root (eg. apache2ctl) runnable by a particular non-root user, without asking for a password?00:29
NET||abuseunixalot, this is not physically switched off, i have even demanded a new card from dell which they delivered today, i've switched it back and forward 4 times and no change, the physical switch is definately NOT switched off00:29
Jef91amagee - yes but it is not recommended00:29
panfistnevermind00:29
amageeJef91: meh.. how do i do it?00:29
greezmunkeyNET||abuse, I found a tip that worked for me. Edit /etc/network/interfaces - Comment out the line "auto lo", and any other lines that include interfaces that you want NM to "manage" once done sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart, and try again.00:30
m3rcIf my nic is using the wrong driver, how do I get it to use a different one afer I modprobe the driver?00:30
archboxmanNET||abuse: I now there was other driver available a BSQ I beleibe it was also would work with the same wifi card is there a other option for driver in system > administation > hardware drivers???00:30
Jef91Amagee - I don't recall off hand, let me look up how I did it *searches for the thread*00:30
amageeok thanks00:30
Oli``m3rc: rmmod the wrong one first, then modprobe the right one00:30
NET||abusearchboxman, no, the admin->hardware drivers only shows the STA as an option.00:30
bastidrazorNET||abuse: possibly nm-applet is looking for a wlan0 before allowing you to enable wireless.. how to change eth5 to wlan0 that i don't know though.00:30
Oli``m3rc: then blacklist the wrong one to stop it loading on boot00:31
unixalotNET||abuse: alright, what about your users00:31
m3rcOli``: did those but it's not associating the new driver with the nic00:31
unixalotLike00:31
NET||abusebastidrazor, that's just weird. ..00:31
unixalotNET||abuse: have you tried to sudo nm00:31

NET||abuseunimatrix, will try sudo nm- now one sec.00:32

Jef91amagee - lol kk00:33
_TristanJef91: I don't know. It works with the installation of the same os/version on another partition.00:33
unixalotNET||abuse: i would try the bum, and enable policy kit, when that work, or doesnt work i recomment creating a new userand trying nm00:33
CarlisHow do i do to open office to check the spanish words ?00:34
amageeJef91: yeah that seems to be exactly what i want, thanks00:34
Jef91_Tristan Does ifconfig in terminal list the card?00:34
Jef91amagee - np00:34
toastedmilkDoes anyone know the terminal command(apt, perhaps) to see if I have fglrx packages installed?00:34
NET||abuseunixalot, it's weird as this behaviour occured a while back, i re-seated the ahrdware, and it worked again for 3 days, then it failed again.00:34
CarlisHow do i do to open office to check the spanish words ?00:34
Jef91Carlis - is your default Ubuntu language spanish?00:34
greezmunkeyIdleOne, I used to advise that myself, but I have reconsidered. I have NM working on this box, with on demand VPN (which is really handy) The thing is that there are some things you *have* to do to your system before NM will work correctly.00:34
Carlisno Jef9100:35
IdleOnegreezmunkey: maybe you could guide NET||abuse. I have no wifi card so don't have these issues00:35
AluminLosha: cool...that's what I did by hand, was just looking for something a little more "one-liner" :)00:35
archboxmanunixalot: why is every time ubuntu puts out a new version they end up with so many problems for kernel, hardware, interupt problems and just overall setup???00:35
m3rcI have a nic that defaults to using via_rhine but I need it to use rtl8139too. How do I associate the nic to the new driver?00:35
unixalotNET||abuse: so this is possibly a hardware issues... what is greyed out in nm=applet?00:35
Aluminwhich it looks like there is, with the service command...it's just not installed by default00:35
unixalotarchboxman: No idea, im still using jaunty..00:35
Alumintoo bad, but...you can't win 'em all :)00:35
greezmunkeyIdleOne, I posted one potential correction for (him/her) earlier :)00:35
NET||abuseunimatrix, the "Enable Wireless" checkbox is greyed out.00:36
NET||abuseunixalot,  i meant... arg.00:36
_TristanJef91: http://pastebin.com/mc6aedbe00:36
Jef91Carlis - Try: Tools->Options->Languages00:36
NET||abuseunixalot, so the "Enable Wireless" checkbox is disabled.00:36
Carlisdo i do that steps in oo ??00:36
m3rcCarlis: yes00:36
archboxmanunixalot: this is why I wont go back to ubuntu every update seems to get more bloated and more problems... I will stick with archlinux :)00:37
Carlisok00:37
SmurfieHm..00:37
_Tristanif you stick to archlinux... why are you here?00:37
unixalotarchboxman: yeah im going to try arch one day, and they just released alpha drivers for my wifi for osx00:37

SmurfieWhere on this site: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation   do I find the installation for 8.04?00:38
m3rcJef91: Google's the secret linux pro help tool. I heard the FBI's using it now.00:38

NET||abuseunixalot, ok, shoot00:39
IdleOneNET||abuse: log out and back in and wicd will ( cross fingers ) kick in and just work00:39
unixalotNET||abuse: do you want to use nm wireless or can you succesfully connect to wifi using terminal methods like ifconfig iwconfig00:40
greezmunkeyNET||abuse, there is that :)00:40
unixalotNET||abuse: would help determine the bug being software/hardware00:40
geirhaSmurfie: help.ubuntu.com -> 8.04 -> Installing Ubuntu (at the bottom), but yeah, there should've been a link for the LTS on that page too00:40
NET||abuseunixalot, i'd definately prefer to use nm.. remembering the cli series of commands just isn't what i need00:40

RyanDHi all. I am running 9.10 and put my desktop into Hibernate last night. When I tried to boot up today it gives up waiting for root device and drops to busybox. From the live cd I cannot see the disk at all but my bios recognizes it. Is my drive toast? If not how can I fix this? Thanks.00:52

eedgeHey :0) quick question, if I wanted to have a external hostname resolve to something on a local box that was less obscure, could I use the host file for this and if so how?00:55
SmurfieWell, crap. I got photo cd's instead of the other kind >_<  usb stick instead. Hopefully this works.00:55
geirhaCarlis: Hm. Well, try marking all text in the document (Ctrl+a) and set spanish as the language for the selection00:55

boournsTomV_415, may i suggest the "super grub" boot disc?01:05
vladcHi, does anyone know what package in 9.10 includes the "tclkit" executable?01:06
TomV_415boourns: I have used the supergrub boot disk... lets me get back to windows, but I need to fix how it opens ubuntu... trying to sort that out now.. (fdisk -l ...)01:06
MenZa!find tclkit | vladc01:06

boournsTomV_415, did you try the "auto linux" option?01:06
ubottuvladc: Package/file tclkit does not exist in karmic01:06
MenZavladc: Out of luck, it would seem.01:06
TomV_415boourns: I'll try it again...01:06
zilkomaaWhy i cant get alsamixer driver option shown in sound->prefences-hardware-profile?01:07
boournsTomV_415, also... from super grub, try show partitions, find your ubuntu partition, hit B for boot... it wont fix grub but its good for testing that u can boot it01:07
vladcMenZa, ubottu: That's weird, I would expect there to be a package for it. I guess I'll have to install it manually.01:07
* `mOOse` listens to TomV_415 and boourns carefully as he has now got a hosed XP/Win7 dualboot install thanks to grub201:07
TomV_415boourns: I just simplified my partiions and such.  there's no auto linux, but there's something like auto magic01:07
rwwkermit: Theoretically, apt-get should mark data packages and things like that as automatically installed, and apt-get autoremove would deal with them.01:07
MenZavladc: I would have expected it too. Sec.01:07
MenZavladc: Perhaps the package 'tcl'01:08
rwwkermit: unfortunately, unless you keep things obsessively tidy, apt-get autoremove often removes too much or too little01:08
vladcMenZa, ubottu: Thanks, I'll try 'tcl'.01:08
boournsyeah super grub is amazing... enough tinkering and u can always fix it ;) with windows too01:08

jack45334any software to do so01:10
tucemiuxanyone here syncs their phone with evolution???  anyone knows if you can sync and tether a phone?01:10
Dr_Willisfaultyground:  and you can use 'emerald --replace &' then the 'exit' command to close the termial if you launch it that way01:10
MenZavladc: For the record, if you do a search for tcl (apt-cache search tcl), you might find other packages.01:10
rahdukebargggggg how is there no ssh server application with a gui? Is there any screenlet or widget or conky script that willw ork?01:10

tucemiux`mOOse`, watch your language, what is the problem youre experiencing with grub? please describe it all in one line01:11
jken146MrKeuner: yes, depends on the printer01:11
MenZaMrKeuner: Sure, if the driver supports it (and the printer, of course)01:11
jken146rahduke: why would you want one?01:11
MrKeunerMenZa, do you know if hpijs supports duplex??01:11
MenZaMrKeuner: I don't. Try reading the driver documentation, it should say.01:11
jack45334menza: will i have to login to youtube to use html501:12
rahdukejken146: i want to be able to monitor transfer speed, users, that kind of stuff01:12
tucemiuxrahduke, because you dont need a GUI to run an ssh server app LoL  It all depends on what you are trying to do with the app01:12
JoeSomebodyok so i been backing up a few tidbits here and there, now how do i backup my themes?01:12

It installed the bootscreen to the usb, but in that menu there's 2 entries for win7, but nothing for XP...now I can't boot to either XP or Win701:13

unixalotJoeSomebody: if you dont knw your root pass your kinda scrwed01:20

tucemiux`mOOse`, wrong questions, theyre not getting mounted automatically01:20
`mOOse`tucemiux, I followed the alternative-install xubuntu's menu exactly01:21

JoeSomebodyenable root? prob not unless you guys told me to01:21
grumblyyou have a terminal somewhere- alt-f2 and type xterm01:21
tucemiux`mOOse`, ok that's not a problem, your scenario is an easy fix, the hard part is figuring it out, im going to #grub to see if I can find a developer there01:21
`mOOse`tucemiux, if I go into thunar they aren't there, but if I go into catfish (which someone suggested somewhere) they ARE there, and I can access them in thunar once I select one/both of them in catfish01:21
ardchoilleJoeSomebody: no, no need to enable root. should be your user password01:21

bob_0no installable kernel was found in the defined APT source how can i install without getting this warning??01:22
JoeSomebodygrumbly, hehe that worked01:22
tucemiux`mOOse`, you dont have to worry about accessing them after you booted to xubuntu, all you need to be able to do is detect them, if you do a "sudo fdisk -l" you should see the partitions, if not then we have a problem01:22
bob_0any ideas?01:23

jef91Balsak - I have synergy working via the CLI but a GUI would be nice to have...01:24
BalSakok, start by running it from the CLI so that you can see what's happening in the background01:25
JoeSomebodyhang in there i am trying to figure out what i am doing01:25
BalSaknext, make sure you can ping the peer-machine by name, & not by IP (this is a bug, I think)01:25

JoeSomebodya list of programs at least , saved to my usb01:25
* unixalot has been staring at the irc for far to long01:26

Zephyrmaidenhow do i add a new server?01:26
jef91Balsak - How do I ping by IP01:26
BalSakin the server, specify the name of the connecting client in the position by name & in the server are, specify the "server" by the IP (but not by 127.1)01:26
jef91Balsak - just ping <hostname> >01:26
JoeSomebodygrumbly, ok im a  root then01:26
BalSakso the same on the client & that should be it01:26

Dr_Willisjef91:  i found the quick syngery interface very odd to use. i was easier for me to juist make a syngery config by hand01:27
grumblyJoeSomebody: if you can run synaptic from that prompt, you've at least gotten a workaround01:27
infidjef91: quicksynergy is pretty self explanatory. i think it's great for creating a quick config file, then no longer using it and use synergys / synergyc separately01:28
JoeSomebodyjust type synaptic?01:28
jef91Dr_Willis - ditto thats what I am doing now01:28
tucemiux`mOOse`, there's nobody in #grub right now, first let's find out in what device your grub is installed: sudo grub-probe -t device /boot/grub01:28

shawnboyanybody know why wlan wouldn't show up in ifconfig when I know it's on?01:31
tucemiux`mOOse`, you have different partitions on your USB drive?01:31
Dr_WillisAlan502:  from windows be sure to defrag/scandisk  - and depending on the version of windows.. windoes Does have tools to resize NTFS that can work a lot faster then gparted does for me01:31
`mOOse`yes01:31
shawnboyoops... there's dukehunter. I'm here on his behalf.01:31
`mOOse`/dev/sdb1 is a 30 meg partition I made just for grub01:31
Alan502Dr_Willis, it's a clean windows installation, factory default.01:32
boournsTomV_415, did you try in super grub:  going to view partitions, selecting your ubuntu partition, and press B like i recommended?01:32
TomV_415boourns:dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc  is trying to pull stuff from Grub Legacy meu.list, but that's not there01:32
dukehunterhave no wireless capabilities after 9.10 install01:32
boournsTomV_415, cause if that doesn't work, you might have a bigger problem than you think01:32
TomV_415boourns: how do I view partisions01:32
tucemiux`mOOse`, that wont be a problem, the problem could be that grub is pointing to the wrong partition, partittions start at 1 I believe not at index 0 like legady grub01:32
`mOOse`it refused to install there though for some reason - is it possible it wouldn't install there because I made /de/sdb1 an LVM?01:32
tucemiux`mOOse`, can you post your grub.cfg to pastebin01:32
boournsTomV_415, look through the options on super grub its in there01:32
`mOOse`yes01:32
`mOOse`hang on01:32
Dr_WillisAlan502:  so? still same procedure.. defrag/scan/try  the windows features..   then id try gparted again01:33
TomV_415boourns: options?  Hm... let me restart and try that..01:33
CarciI was gonna join and ask for help getting my remote desktop working--but I figured out what was wrong already xD01:33
Alan502Dr_Willis, ok :) thank you01:33
boournsTomV_415, its not actually under something called "options" im just saying its there somewhere01:33
BalSakdoes anyone know how to set up & configure SIP voip & video in empathy, please?01:34
jef91Do I need to manually make a config file for quicksynergy to use Balsak?01:34
CarciSo uh, thanks Ubuntu people for including an easy to use remote desktop :301:34
boournsBalSak, never heard of it... i've used ekiga and its easy to set up though01:34
BalSakjef91: you can manually create a config file so that you have quicksynergy's functionality without actually having to need to run the front-end GUI; quicksynergy is simply a GUI frontend for synergyc (client) & synergys (server). SQ elables you to create that config file that you can them make use of in your synergyc/synercys application01:35
`mOOse`tucemiux,  http://pastebin.com/m79b1719701:36
`mOOse`TomV_415, what iso of supergrub are you using?01:36
jef91Balsak - sorry, I feel stupid right now. When I hit excute on my server for synergy I get: 'ERROR: synergys.cpp,1068: cannot read configuration ".quicksynergy/synergy.conf"'01:36
jef91Balsak How do I make it create a configuration?01:36
TomV_415`mOOse`: supergrub v 1.2.101:37
tucemiux`mOOse`, can you first try: sudo update-grub01:37
`mOOse`yes tucemiux, thanks TomV_41501:37
BalSakboourns: thanks. I did use ekiga in the past, but it's had some really serious issues. empathy is now punted as the "official" ubuntu IM client, complete with integrated video & voice: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Empathy & http://www.jonobacon.org/2009/10/09/this-is-what-awesome-looks-like/01:37
boournsheh you're right here it is in 9.10... i had no idea, still using pidgin + ekiga01:37
BalSakjef91: that error probably implies that the config file is missing. thry `sudo touch ~/.quicksynergy/synergy.conf`01:38
`mOOse`tucemiux,  here is the update output: http://pastebin.com/m2f4fa02801:38
TomV_415boourns: now in super grub (1.96) do I need to drop to command line?01:38
jef91Balsak - yes that file is missing01:38
BalSakjef91: but QS should automatically create that file if it's missing01:38
goyangfchow do i install java on karmic?01:39
jef91Balsak - Where do I tell QS what system to use as the host?01:39
infidwhy is chmod not called 'chperm'01:39
Alan502goyangfc, java is on the repositories01:39
jken146goyangfc: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre01:39
goyangfcwhat about the jdk?01:40
tucemiux`mOOse`, did update-grub work?01:40
jken146goyangfc: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk01:40
BalSak jef91: in the "server" field, under the "use" tab01:40
coz_goyangfc,   opne synapitc package manager  hit Search type  sun java01:40
coz_goyangfc,  get the 6  revision and all is listed there01:40
`mOOse`yes tucemiux - I pasted it to pastebin url above01:40
jef91Balsak What do I put there on the host computer? The system's own name?01:40
BalSakinfid: you  can alias it to pretty-much what you want01:40
kermitis there a way to tell what packages have been used recently?01:41
BalSaki usually put the IP in of the system that has the keyboard & mouse attached that I want to use01:41
kermiter, havent01:41
tucemiux`mOOse`, ok so grub found the OS's, can you boot up to them?  And if not what error are you seeing?01:41
jef91Balsak - I can't use quick synergy on the host?...01:41
arandgoyangfc: You want the sun-java6-plugin ((and it's dependencies)) rather than -jdk though, I presume.01:41
BalSakjef91: ??????01:41
TomV_415boourns: I'm in supergrub  on the commad line, I can see all the commands (tab) what command did you suggest?01:41
infidBalSak:  just saying it seems like a mismomer01:42
jef91Balsak - On the computer I want to use the keyboard and mouse on, what do I put for server?01:42
BalSakinfid: there's a LOT of legacy commands01:42
Dr_Willisjef91:  i got it working once with quick syng.. but it was easier to just use a script on host/client to launch the ciommands i needed01:42
`mOOse`tucemiux, I installed xubuntu on a usb flashdrive and stupidly left my HD in my laptop (despite solid warnings not to), whuch has XP and Win7 on it...grub gave me a hard time because I forced it to install on the boot partition I made for the flashdrive. It installed the bootscreen to the usb, but in that menu there's 2 entries for win7, but nothing for XP...now I can't boot to either XP or Win701:42
BalSakjef91: it's own IP01:42
`mOOse`I cannot boot to either of them01:42
boournsTomV_415, what i'm talking about is a boot disc, super grub disc, it isnt a command line its a text based menu01:43
TomV_415boourns: I'm trying probe /dev/sda501:43
coz_goyangfc, find it in synaptic?01:43
jef91Balsak - when I put in it's own IP and/or hostname it says it cannot connect...01:43
TomV_415boourns: Right, I booted from the CD.. got to command line by typing 'c' after trying AUTO MAGIC with no luck01:44
BalSakjef91: don't worry about that now01:44
TomV_415it's trying to mount a uuid device that doesn't exist..01:44
goyangfcum01:44
goyangfcyeah01:44
BalSakjef91: if you've defined the position of the other systems (by hostnames that you can ping OK) relative to each other, and use the same server (by IP) on every node, you should be OK01:45
tucemiux`mOOse`, the only difference between your config and my config is that there's this line before "chainloader +1": drivemap -s (hd0) ${root} ,  I know youre not supposed to edit your .cfg but this is an emergency, you could set your grub.cfg to be writable, make the change, save the file, and change permissions back to non-writable and try booting up to windows, you could also add your own owntry to "40_custom.cfg"01:45
tucemiux`mOOse`, sorry i ran out of time I'll be back in about an hour01:45
jef91Balsak - thanks for trying to help but quicksynergy blows IMO, just going to write a script to wrap the CLI for my roomates01:46
`mOOse`ok thanks tucemiux ....I thought that you couldn't edit that file cause grub just writes right back over t01:46
`mOOse`it01:46
TomV_415in supergrub, ls gets two lines:  (hd0) (hd0,5) (hd0,2)  (hd0,1) (hd2)   and then error: no such disk01:46
`mOOse`I'm so lost....sigh01:46
goyangfccoz, it's installing java-common, sun-java6-jre, odbcinst1debian1, unixodbc, sun-java6-bin, sun-java6-jdk01:46
TomV_415(hd2) is the live cd01:46

NatureTMhi, I recently got a Toshiba A505-6033 and my r8192se Wireless card didn't work.  After alot of tinkering I figured out acpi was to blame.  kernel params acpi=off and acpi=noirq not only fixed the card but also made the lapptop run faster.  Unfortunately it also broke suspend to ram.  I searched and found no solutions.  Just wondering if anyone is aware of the issue or has a fix.01:46
robtowAnyone know how to set up Ubuntu as a WiFi access point?01:47
BalSakjef91: & https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynergyHowto01:47
tucemiux`mOOse`, yes, grub overwrites every thing changes are made, it could work for a while if you make your own additions but they could be overwritten, that's why you can try what I told you, you can also add yoru own entry in 40_custom01:47
jef91Balsak - I was there already, my issues is getting QuickSynergy to setup the host properly01:47
tucemiuxbe back later01:47
arand`mOOse`: It only overwrites when update-grub is run, so "automatically" in the case of kernel or grub updates..01:47
TomV_415root (hd0,5) gets "Filesystem is ext2 (!!)01:47

jef91Balsak - The sad part is Synergy includes a wonderful GUI for Windows by default01:47

jef91Balsak - not in the slightest.01:48
jef91The Windows GUI was intuitive to use and worked01:48
Dr_WillisI got my syngery 'clint' set where i boot to windows or linux on the other box and i can controll it.01:48
TomV_415any help with suber grub or grub rescue?  I think I just need to point to the right mount point and I'll be all set.01:49
TomV_415I can see all the files from live CD01:49
BalSakjef91: i use QS any a very large number of different OS's, and I have very few issues; you may be dealing with some other problems (like networking)01:49
arand`mOOse`: So, yes, you can edit the file and just re-edit it each time it's changed (which shouldn't be too often) However, demands you know what you're doing when editing the file, and should be aware that it's not intended...01:49
jef91Balsak - the CLI works 100% fine01:49
jef91Balsak - in fact I'm using it now01:49
Dr_WillisI fiound the QS gui a little odd to setup. but after i explored it for a bit. i figured it out.01:50
TomV_415seems to me all admin folders should be under git... so you can commit changes and roll back anytime.01:50
`mOOse`arand, and I don't - which is why what tucemuix wrote me above is puzzling me - did he want me to ADD that line to my config?01:50
BalSakjef91: well, there you go01:50

falbertpI mean I'm thinking how can I connect to the internet and asking in this channel if the netbook itself can't connect to internet? LOL03:24
iflemaayam_jago it is most likely possible you could simply select the older version pre-boot in the grub menu.... it is possible to change the default kerenel to boot.03:25

FauntixZeth: ok zeth the driver i need for ubuntu is the gateway finepoint03:32
fireballlabarna: no, I just lose it when the wine app goes full screen. Pretty sure it's to do with a resolution change somewhere, probably x. But that's the problem and it needs fixing, please. . .03:32
labarnabob_: can you edit the menu... right click the menu for instance?03:32
labarnafireball: I think you probably right about the resolution change.  The only way I could see working around that is matching your desktop resolution and configuring from there so that when wine starts it doesn't change the resolution.03:33
zetherooFauntix: interesting03:33
nuvanzetheroo: used the info on packages.ubuntu.org to make sure I had the proper dependencies downloaded before I put 'em on the usb stick.  Ended up installing linux-image-2.6.31-16generic, l-b-modules-2.6.31-16-generic, l-b-m-karmic-generic, and l-b-m-wireless-karmic-generic03:33

zetheroonuvan: lets do some blacklist editing03:35
fireballlarbarna: i reckon it could be done through regedit, but no idea how03:35
devrethmanAFAIK wine can make things fullscreen if they ask to be. I don't know if it's possible to just make some random app take up your whole screen with no decorations.03:35
fireballlarbarna: it's a dj app03:35

fireballiflema: no, just not calibrated in full screen mode, fine un-maximised03:37
labarnafireball: yeah sorry I'm not entirely sure, wine is tricky with resolution.  best bet is to ask in a wine channel or on their mailing list03:37
zetheroonuvan: comment that out03:37

drbanzaiobscurant1st, Why do you not want to use dyndns?04:19
irkeppingfloyd, sloopy: I want to bridge my connections so when i switch between them my streaming media isnt interrupted04:19

tonyyarussosacarlson: can you define "got stuck"?04:21
rumpsyrww: Yes, you right,  know that, but even after removal of ntp, i'm facing the same problem, it automatically assigning some default time04:21
drbanzaiobscurant1st, You can run a webserver without a domain name...just use the IP address04:21
sacarlsontonyyarusso: well I didn't write it down but I can try again and tell you.04:22
sacarlsontonyyarusso should I just try install lamp?04:22
irkepthis is kind of unrelated to my question, but, can you bridge connections to different networks?04:22
tonyyarussosacarlson: sure.  My guess is that you didn't expand the little window that asks you for sql root password.04:22
sloopyirkep, never done it 'client side' so to speak, but i would guess you would use bridge utilities04:22
tonyyarussosacarlson: from tasksel?  You could, if you want it.04:22

linux-padawanmkquist: nothing ... any other thoughts04:24

linux-padawanhow?04:24
mkquist_linux-padawan: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart04:24
pingfloydirkep: why not just make your life easy and install a switch?04:24
linux-padawannetworking restart04:25
tonyyarussohunger__: 8.04 or 8.10?  You should always specify.  (I don't know the answer, but if someone else does they'll need to know which.)04:25
linux-padawancommand notfound04:25
sacarlsontonyyarusso yes this time i'm using the command line with tasksel04:25
hunger__i read in some posts hdmi audio on nvidia was removed in 9.04+ and the fix didn't make it into 9.10, but others have said they gotten it to work, just worked no idea how though04:25
PupenoHow do I add a file type to ubuntu so that they are open with certain application?04:25
pingfloydswitches are so cheap these days, hence why nobody bothers bridging anymore04:25
hunger__tony, both 8.04 and 8.1004:25
rumpsyrww: what might be the problem?04:25
mkquist_linux-padawan: "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" ?04:26
rwwrumpsy: after you remove power from the computer? if so, that sounds more like a problem with the clock battery04:26

hunger__neverwill, if you ever run into weird issues with not being able to connect bounce smbd on your linux box, usually helps alot04:38
NeverwillI may have to do that FTP server thing, i've used FTP before.04:38
sloopyhunger__, nfs has simple security is easy to hack with MIM attacks04:38
hunger__sloopy, i see, will take note of that04:39
rwwbazhang: thanks04:39
pingfloydyeah, nfs was never meant for use across untrustworthy networks04:39
MTec007Neverwill: samba is more of a solution than ftp but i never had luck with samba04:39
hunger__neverwill, yeah i think ftp is easier, or at least less frustrating, but samba is a better solution overall04:39

NeverwillSo, is this room like an entire chat to get help with anything? or just mainly Ubuntu support since its an Ubuntu channel04:46
Neverwillcause i have a few programming questios04:46
sloopyNeverwill, ubuntu only...04:46
RiverRatUbuntu.  There is a #hardware channel that is more general.04:46
rwwNeverwill: Ubuntu support only. #ubuntu-offtopic has other discussions, and some programming languages have their own channel.04:46
rwwNeverwill: which language?04:46
sloopyNeverwill, there are other channels for specific languages...04:46
Neverwillhow do I get to see the list of rooms?04:47
Neverwillrww: mainly Python, just starting out :/04:47
rwwNeverwill: /msg alis help. Alis is a service bot for searching for channels. Some people will recommend /list, which is a bad idea.04:47
rwwNeverwill: I think #python exists.04:47
zedsterstill having issues, I do not have a tty1-6, its driving me nutz04:47

Anarki2004no universe04:54
zedstermrpink57: no, what should I look for?04:54
rwwAnarki2004: that's why it's not finding it, then.04:54
andrewsdzedster: Hmm, not sure if it made a difference - perhaps?04:55
mrpink57zedster: near the bottom you should see your tty's its an obvious04:55
rwwAnarki2004: Try installing "xchat-gnome" instead. It's rather annoying, but it's in main so you should have it.04:55
andrewsdzedster: I'm curious... have you heard reports of the safe mode fixing 100% cpu issues on exit (I don't use plugins btw)04:55
Anarki2004ok04:55
mrpink57zedster: basically it should show telling tty to run in runlevels04:55
Anarki2004i think that did it04:56
zedsterandrewsd: no, just normally if the problem doesn't occur in safe mode it is diagnostically relevant04:56
zedstermrpink57: how do I access it?04:56
mrpink57sudo gedit /etc/inittab04:56

EliasAmaral-f stands for 'fix broken'05:13
sc_woesc'mon i'm not that stupid05:13
onetinsoldieremes: another alternative is 'evince'. it's in the repo. you might have it installed already05:13
zedsternovemberhascome2: also make sure its not a hardware issue if its an external hd and not flash, could be a loose ide/sata05:14

zmanningIdleOne, for general reference though, would that be the correct location?05:54
futurama140IdleOne: i just bought a new nvidia graphics card to replace an unsupported card in ubuntu, anytime i ran a 3d accelerated program, the screen would flash black. i tried about 7 different drivers to no avail. i was trolled into erasing my ubuntu, so i re-installed windows, and i used a new monitor. i just picked up a new monitor and now the flicker is back with 3d stuff. ive tried several power supplies, many drivers, TWO diff05:55

sc_woesdabaR, it finished with a HUGE number of warnings, and as soon as it finished, Update Manager popped up saying it wants to install gtk2.0, should i let it?05:57

iflematom-v415 how many network cards in it? include wireless?07:13

nat2610_chelz, I checked before, but it's not really my problem. If I use for example vlc, the sound is there ... it's only in the browser that I notice this issue07:14
tom-v415iflema: wireless is connected..shows signal strength07:14
chelzYvier6: sure! we call those "symbolic links" to make a link you do:   ln -s target linkName07:14
iflematom-v415 and wireless is what you trying to connect through?07:14
Yvier6ln -s /var/www/vhosts/XXX/httpdocs/ drupal07:15
Yvier6so?07:15
chelzYvier6: yeah, where you execute that a link called "drupal" will be created07:15
chelzYvier6: so make sure you're where you want the link to be07:15
tom-v415iflema: yes, I can try wired..07:15
Yvier6chelz: with cd or what do you mean07:15
chelzYvier6: yes07:15
tom-v415iflema: but it was all working fine  just a little while ago.07:16
Yvier6cd var....?07:16
chelzYvier6: you can optionally do something like:  ln -s /var/www/vhosts/XXX/httpdocs/ /home/Yvier6/Desktop/drupal07:16
Yvier6chelz: hm..and only drupal isnt ok?07:16
iflematom-v415 ok... well... whats changed?07:16
damnbadluckexcuse me, i was here yesterday and my mounter became corrupt, so joeyjones told me to "sudo remove mount" and the whole OS is gone, i have a 9.10 disc here, and i have access to the command line in grub, can i repair my system this way? i would just try a fresh install but i have some files i need to save.07:16
chelzYvier6: i'm talking about where the link you create will be put07:16
Yvier6chelz: thanks an last question :D how can i delete a symboliclink?07:17
chelzdamnbadluck: boot to the 9.10 disc, mount your filesystem, and get the files you want back07:17
chelzYvier6: it is like any other file. you can either move it to the trash in gnome's nautilus or do "rm file". in your case "rm drupal"07:17
tom-v415iflema: just plugged it in, and wired is working..07:18
chelzdamnbadluck: then probably the easiest is to reinstall ubuntu07:18
Artanis00How do you set folder icons like the default home folder places that respect changing the theme? If I just set the icon from the folder's properties menu the icon doesn't change to new themes.07:18
replic8torhow do you block an ip from accessing ubuntu? I tried command iptables but it doesnt exist.07:18
chelztom-v415: in ifconfig were you getting assigned an IP?07:18
tom-v415chelz: but what's changed is not too much..I copied over all my settings from a previous install so I updated /home/myname with lots of files07:18
Artanis00damnbadluck: Though you sould chroot into the old install and reinstall mount07:18
haffereplic8tor: I would install firestarter and build a firewall rule.07:19
iflematom-v415 what did you do? :) did you update... change anything... too many changes?07:19
damnbadluckchelz: im trying to boot to it, but anytime i try to either install or boot from disc, the disc drive speeds up and then nothing happens, i have to ctrl+alt+del to make the system respond, do you have any suggestions?07:19
Artanis00damnbadluck: um, sould -> could07:19
tucemiuxreplic8tor, do you have a router at home?07:19
replic8toris firestarter console?07:19
replic8torI do have a router yes.07:19
tomatoes7my sound sucks ass on my pc07:19
tucemiuxreplic8tor, you can try blocking the IP in the router07:19
haffereplic8tor: No, it's a gui.07:19
chelzdamnbadluck: you could try checking your BIOS settings to make sure it tries booting to a CD before the hard drive. you could also try burning another install CD07:20
tomatoes7i get some like weird feedback sound07:20
damnbadluckArtanis00: "chroot" from command line?07:20
damnbadluckchelz: ill check that then.07:20
chelzdamnbadluck: you can use chroot to fix your system if you remember the exact command you did to break it07:20
tucemiuxtomatoes7, youre recording using the mic?07:20
tom-v415iflema: here's the BEFORE (i plugged in wire) ifconifg: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m7556d1b207:20
tomatoes7no07:20
chelzdamnbadluck: well actually you could check your ~/.bash_history if you get your fs mounted07:20
damnbadluckchelz: the exact command was "sudo apt-get remove mount"07:21
tucemiuxtomatoes7, you get feedback just by listening to music or stuff?07:21
Artanis00damnbadluck: it's kinda complicated, but it's possible to access the installed environment within the liveCD through the command line07:21
replic8torWhat non gui app should I try if not firestarter?07:21
tomatoes7yeah07:21
chelzdamnbadluck: if you get booted to a livecd chrooting is an option07:21
tomatoes7its like a loud farting chopper07:21
iflematom-v415 two network interfaces.... i wanted that info before to save you moving between machines..... it does not help now07:21
tucemiuxit's your computer, some computers have that problem, i have that problem on windows but on ubuntu it sounds fine07:22
Artanis00damnbadluck: From there you should be able to use apt-get to install mount again07:22
replic8torfirestarter is just a frontend to iptables yea?07:22
tom-v415iflema: now that I've got a connection, I've put both ifconfig outputs up in that same link.07:22
tomatoes7tucemiux, well i figure i need different drivers07:22
Viper1432yes replic8tor , but its a very nice frontend.07:22
tomatoes7its never had problems when i run windows07:22
tom-v415iflema: what do you look at in that output, lots of stuff to parse there. (in ifconfig )07:22
damnbadluckchelz: ok so my disc drive is set to first position to boot from, and i have no other discs i can use for another copy of ubuntu. how long should i wait after choosing the boot from disc option before it responds?07:22
replic8torIts a server, doesnt run X>07:23
gokturk_#ubuntu-tr07:23
Artanis00damnbadluck: I have a blog post here that I refer to when I nuke my installs, detailing how to chroot into the installed environment from a LiveCD: http://artanis00.blogspot.com/2009/08/getting-sources-source-keys-and-package.html07:23
damnbadluckArtanis00: ok, well i suppose thisll be a lot easier when i can get the CD to boot properly.07:23
chelzdamnbadluck: don't select boot from disk. select "try out ubuntu"07:23
tucemiuxtomatoes7, or it could also be the sound card07:23
tucemiuxit could also be pulseaudio though i doubt it, I suggest you check the forum or launchpad07:24
tomatoes7the sound card works fine in windows07:24
damnbadluckchelz: yea, thats what i meant :P07:24
Artanis00damnbadluck: I didn't realize you couldn't get into the LiveCD either...07:24
chelzdamnbadluck: do you have any usb flash sticks/drives around that you can format?07:24
chelzdamnbadluck: if your system can boot to a usb device, you can install ubuntu on one of them with UNetbootin07:25
damnbadluckchelz: no i dont actually :P07:26
damnbadluckchelz: how long should the system take to respond when i use the "try ubuntu" option?07:26
tom-v415chelz: oops, thought the same url would show my updated pastebin... here's the update ifconfig, with both wireless only (not working) and wired: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d2cc1e5e07:26
Artanis00damnbadluck: It can take a while07:27
chelzdamnbadluck: as long as the CD drive is active and whirring, then it's doing its job07:27
chelzdamnbadluck: an ipod or other many kinds of mp3 players can be used also07:27
damnbadluckArtanis00, chelz: ok then, ill check back in in a few minutes07:27
tomatoes7my ubuntu is acting like windows....slow07:28
Artanis00chelz: *note to self* boot a computer to Ubuntu off an iPod for laughs.07:28
iflematom-v415 its basically useless... and that link has the wireless connected only.07:28
chelzArtanis00: it works great :)07:28
Artanis00chelz: I'll need to acquire an iPod. which work best?07:28
tom-v415chelz: the second pastbin?  Should have a before and after ..07:28
chelzArtanis00: anything gen 5.5 and before07:28
tom-v415chelz: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d2cc1e5e07:28

damnbadluckchelz: the disc wasnt doing anything, im trying to do "check disc for defects" but thats not responding either.07:34
[BT]Brendanwhat ever the default is when installing ubuntu07:34
chelz[BT]Brendan: the longer a machine is on gives it more time to write to a disk and overwrite the data you want to recover07:34
tom-v415chelz: no luck disconnect and reconnect same behaviour.  How come both before/after ifconfi have eth0, eth1 and lo?  thought there would be more when wired network was on..07:34
pingfloydit's easy to make a mistake with rsync or tar etc.07:34
[BT]Brendanok but i need to know what to do after i power off07:35

Artanis00chelz: pretty sure he said he can't...07:36
tom-v415chelz: very odd, I'm chatting using the same network (different computer) on that wireless network.. and ubuntu shows a good connection, but can't see anything on it.07:36
chelzArtanis00: i thought he said he didn't have any07:36
chelztom-v415: on the computer you are chatting on, if you try pinging the computer having issues, what happens?07:36
Artanis00chelz: he did. yeah.07:37
damnbadluckchelz: im trying to work with limited resources, my location, coupled with poor timing have left me unemployed for the past year. i have to use what i have.07:37

lars_bauerrww, thx07:38
chelztom-v415: try right clicking on the network manager and hitting something that says disable07:38
tom-v415chelz: just did that and it worked.. (with ethernet wire in)07:38
hyperstreamdamnbadluck, is this for a laptop?07:38
damnbadluckchelz: i just realized, i do however have many spare hard drives, and a usb adapter.07:39
chelztom-v415: try without the ethernet wire07:39
rwwlars_bauer: If it's a .tar.bz2 file, use `tar -xjf /path/to/file.tar.bz2` instead07:39
damnbadluckhyperstream: no, but almost as difficult, a slimline pc07:39
chelzdamnbadluck: that would work fine, if by usb adapter you mean an external enclosure07:39
tom-v415chelz:  just did... no luck ping request times out.07:39
lars_bauerrww, even greater thx :O)07:39
damnbadluckchelz: i mean there is a power plug to molex cord and a usb to IDE cord, no enclosure, but i use it for storage.07:40
damnbadluckchelz: same difference i suppose.07:40
chelzdamnbadluck: ah alright. heh sounds like it'll work07:40
damnbadluckchelz: how can i work with it then? what should i do?07:41
chelztom-v415: hmm how long did the wireless work for? and did anything happen just before it stopped working?07:41
chelzdamnbadluck: plug it in like a usb flashdrive and install ubuntu to it using Unetbootin07:41
Artanis00damnbadluck: probably just use the flash drive boot instructions on it07:41
Artanis00or that07:41
damnbadluckchelz: "Unetbootin" ? im using a windows system right now since the system with ubuntu obviously isnt working :P07:42
tom-v415chelz: it worked most of the day... Let me see how it does from a liveCD boot.  Can't think of what might have messed it up.  I'm just updating the box, so I did install openssl lib.. but that worked.. and ssh was working07:42

devrethmanHow is it that after like 8 years of trying to make linux more user friendly, nobody has figured out how to prevent sound card locking?08:08
HammerHead66chaz: are u the one that helped me before?08:09
chelzHammerHead66: yep08:09
puppymy sound card never works08:09
chelzdevrethman: they have. newer OSS handles it well and alsa does it fine08:09
Viper1432funny, mine always works.08:09
chelzpuppy: try harder :P08:09
chelzHammerHead66: is flash having issues?08:09
devrethmanChelz: Really, then how is it that using the latest version of the most user friendly distro, Youtube can still shut MPD down?08:10
HammerHead66chelz: I am able to see the flash but when I try to watch something on hulu.com it tells me that my player it not up to date08:10
puppyworks fine under win7 but under linux after sleep no good08:10
devrethmanI have to sit here and /etc/init.d/mpd restart over and over again until it finally picks it up08:10
devrethmanand once it has, half my other apps stop making sound.08:10
HammerHead66chelz: I did sudo apt-get update   and also upgrade08:10
puppyi just want my music to play lol08:11
chelzdevrethman: eh well there's still a ways to go. sometimes manual tweaking is still necessary08:11
chelzHammerHead66: ah alright, well do sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree08:11
chelzHammerHead66: we're going to need to install a newer version08:11
devrethmanYeah, I know, but from the impression that I've had, making ALSA work without "manual tweaking" has been in development longer then Duke Nukem Forever.08:12
devrethmanwhich makes me a sad panda.08:12
HammerHead66chelz: ok removed08:12
beruicDoes anyone know how to control the size of password symbols in dialogs? Mine are very small.08:12
puppysad panda lol08:13
chelzHammerHead66: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ - go here and get the "http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/"08:13
devrethmanberuic: Mine are really big. Want to trade?08:13
beruicYes please :)08:13
chelzHammerHead66: then either open it when firefox asks you to save it, or save it then doubleclick it08:13
devrethmanOkay, just a sec.08:13
EliasAmaral'password symbols'?08:13
damnbadluckchelz: unetbootin is processing and installing on the USB drive. will let you know how it goes.08:14
chelzperhaps he means black dots08:14
EliasAmaralyou meant those dots when you enter a character?08:14
chelzdamnbadluck: sounds good08:14
devrethman●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●08:14
EliasAmaralthey are huge here08:14
beruicEliasAmaral: yes, those dots08:14
devrethmanPut those in your password boxes.08:14
EliasAmaralyou want them even more bigger?08:14
EliasAmaral(gtk2/gnome here)08:14
chelzberuic: do you mean on the login screen?08:14
beruicMine are very small in both login and gksudo08:14
EliasAmarali guess every system with the ubuntu's default font will have the same char08:14
devrethmanMine are also cyan, so you might want to do something like that.08:14
devrethman*something about that.08:14
chelzdevrethman: depends on your soundcard. it's probably a good idea to google around every so often to see what the latest is in the linux world. a lot of times just a bit of tweaking can fix things.08:15
EliasAmaralmaybe you are using a nonstandard font beruic08:15

devrethmanchelz: Yeah, I know how it works, I've been using various forms of linux/oss/alsa for years, I just don't have time to tweak with it anymore >.< I was hoping coming here from Gentoo would eliminate such things.08:15
beruicSo no one has any ideas?08:16
devrethmanAlthough I have to give you guys props, it took me about a minute and a half to configure twinview last week.08:16
HammerHead66chelz: ok08:16
devrethmanberuic: I think those symbols are part of the system font. You could try changing it in Menu -> system->prefs -> appearance08:17
devrethmanbut that would change the font for everything else, too. I don't know of a way to make specific things like that larger or smaller.08:17
beruicdevrethman: What font do you use?08:17
devrethmanAll of them are set to "sans"08:17
devrethmanand fixed width is Monospace.08:18
beruicMy last two are sans bold and monospace08:18
beruicwindow titles are sans bold08:18
beruicbut all are size 10. What are yours?08:18
devrethmanI've done quite a bit of screwing around with my theme, so I dunno, I may have changed something somewhere that I forgot about.08:18
devrethman10 also.08:18
chelzHammerHead66: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10_64bit.html08:19
damnbadluckchelz: whats error 17?08:19
HammerHead66chelz: k08:20
devrethmanThey finally made a 64 bit flash player O_o08:20
devrethmanwhen did that happen?08:20
chelzdevrethman: very recently heh08:21
Myrttidevrethman: last summer, but it's alpha08:21
chelzi've heard it's stable enough for most users. stable as flash ever really is.08:21
chelzdamnbadluck: when did you get that error?08:21
damnbadluckjust now, after trying to boot via usb08:22
damnbadluckchelz: ^^08:22
devrethmanin my experience, flash is about as stable as the stuff I made with Duplo when I was very small. It usually gets noscripted.08:22
devrethmanI'm just impressed that adobe has finally gotten their heads out of thei--- errmmm. you know where this is going.08:22
chelzi use chromium for flash stuff, and browse regularly with firefox and noscript08:22
HammerHead66chelz: now that I've downloaded it, extracted, what now?08:23
devrethmanchromium?08:23
chelzwell i'm still waiting for hardware accelerated video playback on linux08:23
chelzgoogle chrome's oss project. has an ubuntu ppa08:23
devrethmanhasn't mplayer had that for quite awhile?08:23
damnbadluckchelz: what do i do?08:23
Myrttioh sorry, year ago in november08:23
chelzdevrethman: no, it's needed by the flash plugin08:23
hackiolegaroHello Ubuntu08:24
chelzdamnbadluck: if you're sure it's trying to boot to the drive, try reformatting it and doing a unetbootin install again. that's a grub error of somekind08:24
devrethmanoh, hardware accelerated flash video? Cause I know I got hardware accelerated H264 working last summer.08:24
damnbadluckchelz: ok08:24
chelzdevrethman: yeah i have h264 and all that08:24
devrethmanat least I thought I did.08:24
chelzHammerHead66: in a terminal do: cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/08:25
devrethmanwell, when I did it it was only in the SVN and you had to use a bunch of wierd options08:25
[BT]BrendanI wish deleting things with the command line would sent them to the recycle bin.08:25
dandamanwhen grub loads for me i have like 5 versions of ubuntu, i always use the first but i'm wondering what the other 4 are for08:25
devrethmanI think it was lik -vdapau=on or something like that.08:25
devrethmandandaman: Old kernels, in case it updates to a kernel that does not work, you'll be able to get into the old ones to fix it.08:25
rwwdandaman: old kernel versions, probably08:25
chelz[BT]Brendan: there are tools that do that, just not the default ones. *nixes expect people to have backups08:25
dandamandevrethman: so i should always be loading from the one on top, right?08:26
devrethmanAlthough while we're on the subject, is it possible to make those automatically disappear when they're more than 2 versions old?08:26
devrethmanor something08:26
=== JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz
devrethmandandaman: You should generally be loading the one with the highest version number. On mine they end up on the top usually08:27
chelzdevrethman: that does sound like a good feature. i haven't heard of anything existing that does that though08:27
dandamanwhat's a kernel?08:27
dandamani figure i should know these things if im a CS major08:27
HammerHead66chelz: returned : permission denied08:27
devrethmanhahaha. Kernel is like... the thing at the center of the OS that does all the low-level stuff08:27
devrethmanif it's working right, you will never notice it.08:27
puppyits the heart08:28
HammerHead66chelz: cannot create regular file08:28
Quan-Timedandaman: kernel is a bit of corn... OR its the major reliant factor of literally every computer OS... know how windows 95 and 98 are hugely the same ? its got the same kernel.. etc.. hope that helps08:28
devrethmanchelz: I tried screwith with grub.conf in ubuntu once, and it was full of comments and strange foriegn things with names like 'AUTOMAGIC' so I left.08:28
dandamanQuan-Time: still doesnt really explain what a kernel is :\08:29
chelzHammerHead66: sudo cp08:29
devrethmanIt's the low-level. It interfaces between hardware and software and does things like memory management and driver management.08:29
chelzdevrethman: menu.lst makes sense to me since i have experience with it, but the grub2 stuff i still need to learn08:29
Quan-Timedandaman: umm... ok.. a kernel has the basis of how things interact.. ie: how a mouse interfaces with the screen.. all via software. the kernel is the "core" software.. im sure theres a wiki on it..08:29
HammerHead66chelz: did it but did not ask for password08:30
chelzdandaman: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_%28computing%2908:30
chelzHammerHead66: you only have to enter your password every 15min i think for sudo08:30
dandamankk08:30
Quan-Timedandaman: major kernel updates include new "standards" for hardware, driver sets, etc..08:30
devrethmanI wrote my own menu.lst when I used gentoo, but here there's all sorts of extra stuff that I'm worried will set it on fire if I screw with. Grub errors are almost as annoying as wet socks, so I avoid them.08:30
HammerHead66chelz: O.. ok08:30
dandamani remember for an internship interview i didnt get the interviewer asked me to write a kernel for unix08:30
dandamanis that really realy hard?08:30
Quan-Timedandaman: and for the record, im not a computer tech. nor involved in the computer industry..08:30
dandamanbecause it sounded hard when he first asked me :\08:30
chelzdandaman: a popular exercise for CS-types is to write their own kernel08:31
devrethmanYeah, that's kind of rediculously hard.08:31
Quan-Timedandaman: yes.. "writing" a kernel is HUGE.. but making a custom kernel is possible.. if you dont know what a kernel is, then its stupidly hard08:31
devrethmanIt is? Nobody told me O_o Perhaps I'm in the wrong major08:31
chelzHammerHead66: then you might need to restart firefox. but that should do it08:31
Quan-Timedevrethman: oh dear...08:31
chelzHammerHead66: if you ever want to update flash, just go to adobe's site and hunt for the 64bit flash tar.gz and copy it into the same place08:31
devrethmanI thought I was cool cause I wrote a BASH script that splits PDFs in half vertically08:31
Quan-Timedevrethman: can you drive a car ?08:32
HammerHead66chelz: ok thanks08:32
chelzdevrethman: well a simple kernel, not one that follows all the unix standards08:32
devrethmanYeah, a simple kernel is possible. Writing a kernel that implements UNIX is... not so much.08:32
devrethmanwell, I'm sure it's possible, but it is not something I would do with my free time08:33
devrethmanQuan-Time: Yes... why?08:33
Quan-Timedandaman: can you drive a car ? its like that with CS... you learn over time.. you need correct teaching.. like doing anything.. with time @ college, you will learn the skill set needed..08:34

youcefi have question?08:54
ikoniaanli_: bug reports are not "not supported"08:54
anli_ikonia: No, but if the bug reports tells that there is no support, I use to rely on them, but I will rely on you from now on08:55
youcefthere are viruses for ubuntu ?08:55
infidi'm using gnome-do's Twitter plugin and it pops up a notification bubble whenever someone tweets. Is there a way to click on the bubble to launch it into my browser before it disappears?08:55

mattyhhi08:55

youcefok thats dangerous?08:56
anli_ok08:56
scottjI have some code in ~/.Xmodmap that remaps right alt to a super key and it works but if I hibernate then when I resume the key is back to being an alt. any ideas?08:56
llutzyoucef: sure08:56
mattyhanyone who knows why I cant write to #qemu irc say's cannot send to channel ?08:56
ikoniascottj: daemons probably not waking up post hibernate08:56

anli_ikonia: Shall I ignore the bug report fix that says that I shall install a 32-bit firefox08:57
ikoniascottj: no, but there is a keyboard deamon that picks up the changes08:57
infidk08:57
ikoniaanli_: it's up to you what you'd do, personally I think "install 32bit" is a weak fix unless there is a confirmed bug08:57

ikoniatitan_ark: in what respect ?08:57

airtonixquestion about networkmanagers ICS features : i currently have my netbook set to dhcp connect to my desktop(which is having two NICs, eth0 is outwards to the router which hits the WAN, and eth1 is inward and set to "shared to computers" in networkManager)... from my netbook I can access the apache server on my desktop but not google09:08

meowbuntuHi ho how it go everyone09:09
titan_arkikonia: i could only come up to this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/45396309:09
ikoniaairtonix: you need your need something to act as a router out to the internet09:09
titan_arki am quite a n00b09:09
ikoniatitan_ark: just reading09:09
titan_arkwould appreciate the help09:09
titan_arkikonia: i thank you09:09
ikoniatitan_ark: that looks like it could be a similar problem/bug to you09:10
VectorXhow do i reset the smb.conf file to its defaults ?09:10
airtonixikonia, yep this is the function i desire my desktop to fullfil. and it does most of what i expect however I can;t seem to get past the desktop and out onto the internet when using the netbook09:10
titan_arkikonia: yeah.09:10
ikoniaairtonix: what are you using on the desktop as a router ?09:10
retryVectorX, ipkg-configure09:10
ikoniatitan_ark: I'm sorry to say it looks like a kernel bug that "should" be fixed in the next ubuntu release......09:10
retrythere's a flag to reconfigure to default09:10
retrytype man ipkg-configure09:10
titan_arkikonia: i can see the mention of my notebook model. but what is the solution. seems to not make sense to me.09:11
ikoniaretry: dpkg ?09:11
retryoh yeah!09:11
ikoniatitan_ark: ahhh so you are even using that notebook, ok, so I'd be confident that that is the problem then09:11
retryha I've been messing about with my pre :D09:11
ikoniatitan_ark: well found09:11
retryso I was in ipkg mode09:11
airtonixikonia, traditionally i would use firestarters ICS features, however now i;m using the gnome networkManager to do it, im connecting from the netbook to the desktop via ethernet cable09:11
titan_arkikonia: yes i own a HP dv4t 140009:11
ikoniaairtonix: gnomenetworkmanager is not routing software or ip forwarders09:11
=== skydrome is now known as TeLe
ikoniatitan_ark: ok, so that's the bug then09:11
retryVectorX, dpkg-reconfigure09:12
airtonixikonia, this (http://jeremy.visser.name/2009/03/24/simple-internet-connection-sharing-with-networkmanager/) leads me to believe otherwise09:12
titan_arkikonia: yes, but i cant seem to comprehend the solution. except that the test kernel has been patched09:12
VectorXretry do i need to specify anything else09:12
retryVectorX, yes the argument is the package yo uwant to reconfigure09:12
retryso whatever samba is called09:12
retryis it smb or just samba?09:13
ikoniatitan_ark: so you need to wait for that patched kernel to be released to ubuntu09:13
VectorXsamba i think09:13
airtonixretry, amb is an acronym : small message block09:13
airtonixretry, smb*09:13
meowbuntuHi all09:13
retryairtonix, it's also samba09:13
airtonixretry, :) which is a name inspired by the protocol name09:14
titan_arkikonia: ah okay. i remember when i was using a wubi install and facing some other issues, someone had given me a link to a vanilla kernel, if i am not mistaken this was also solved by the vanilla kernel09:14
retryright09:14
ikoniaairtonix: that guide won't fly in my view unless the machine you are using is automatically setup as a router/forwader, because all gnome-network-manger is doing is telling your card to advertise it's self for incoming dns lookups with dns-masq09:15
anli_ikonia: hm, with 3.5.7, it is the same, if I try to open the firebug console, the browser closes09:15
ikoniaanli_: there clearly is a bug there - but only for selected configurations09:15
otoadyI'm tired.  the cd writer won't recognize media either ... tomorrow09:16
airtonixikonia, firestarter ICS features do more than gnomes network manager then ? (because i have used firestarter to do the whole thing from dns server and forwarding)09:16
ikoniaairtonix: look down the list and the ammount of people having to alerter routes and the like09:16
anli_ikonia: ok, so how do I install a 32-bit firefox?09:16
ikoniaairtonix: yes, firestarter is a full on firewall that can do forwarding09:16
anli_ikonia: Has to be made by hand, I suppose?09:16
ikoniaanli_: you'll have to pull that from the firefox site I'm afraid09:16
anli_ok09:16
ikoniaanli_: have you tried removing firebug, restarting the browser, confirming it works then re-installing firebug09:17
ikoniaanli_: the new browser may benifit from a new install of firebug09:17
airtonixikonia, thanks for the clarification09:17
ikoniaanli_: also did anything else get updated with firefox ?09:17
ikoniaanli_: need to pop out now, but I'd strongly advise a clean firebug install and a reboot to make sure all your updates took effect09:18
anli_ikonia: When I opened the firefox window, no suggestions to update the plugins were made, but I uninstalled firebug and installed it09:18
anli_ikonia: thx09:20

Oyozam getting this message when i enter the password :The specified directory service attribute or value does not exit.10:32

hydesteri have searched online and it isn't clear to me if Xen will be supported via the standard ubuntu karmic distro with building custom kernels, etc.  anybody know?10:34

pingfloyddamnbadluck: one common cause for failed installs is bad download (be sure to check the hash against the iso) or a bad CD burn10:35

Mateo_hello11:15
acsiahello11:15
acsiaI am trying to upgrade from gutsy to hardy and I get a couple of 404 as the upgrade tries to hit against http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy-backports/main/source/Sources.gz11:15
DJ_HaMsTawould i be able to do a raid in ubuntu without the need of extra drivers ?11:16
acsiaany ideas?11:16
Quan-Timehaving problems mounting an iso.  tried furius ISO mount, and gmount... to no avail.. ideas ? its a .iso file (dvd size)11:16
damnbadluck2chelz: how do i move files when permission is denied?11:16
acsiait seems that it tries to grab the subdomain from sources.list but that is for obsolete releases11:16
michaeldobrovitsKilev, the only diffrence between i3 and i7 is that i3 is dual core and doesn't have intel turbo boost11:17
Mateo_i have a problem with wubi and the last ubuntu... my computer has shutted down, and on reboot, i have a GRUB4DOS ... menuend: 0x.... just after selecting ubuntu in grub11:17
kilevyes i'm not after difference so do you know if i7 works with latest ubuntu if it does then probably i3 will work too11:17
sebsebsebacsia: yeah stuff like that,  repos becoming bad when releases are no longer supported, and then making trying to upgrade to a supported release an issue11:18
anubhavhow i can configure the order of nameservers in resolv.conf11:18
michaeldobrovitskilev, http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-kernel-intel-core-i7.html11:19
kilevi3 or i5 i7 if any of those supported i'd get that laptop tomorrow11:19
damnbadluck2chelz: are you still around?11:19
sebsebsebMateo_: Wubi can mess up on people sometimes.    Can you boot Windows still?11:19
meowbuntuacsia, wow such old ubuntu versions. we are up to 9.10 now. upgrades are not guaranteed ot be safe. may loose data. its recomended to frll install if possable.11:19

Mateo_sebsebseb: i have some VERY important in fact11:22
meowbuntudamnbadluck2, sudo nautilus11:22
damnbadluck2meowbuntu: ok11:22
kilevmichaeldobrovits I'm checking url now.11:22
root51where i can find xplash themes for karmic ubuntu 9.1011:22
buffmandoes debian have a software package for "scrobling" last.fm MTP devices?11:23
indusmeowbuntu, gksu nautilus11:23
sebsebsebMateo_: oh dear hrm,  there is a way to access  a  Wubi,  that won't boot up I mean just for the data, but  not sure how to do that11:23
root51vista look alike11:23
meowbuntudamnbadluck2, that will give you the file browser nautlius as root.11:23
Prajwalroot51 you can add your own xsplash images :)11:23
meowbuntuindus, eighter will work11:23
sebsebsebMateo_: anyway what I was going to suggest is to just do a normal dual boot,  but first you want to get hold of that data  I guess11:23
drlajperhaps this is a silly question... is there a naming convention for folders: should I use lowercase or uppercase letters for my own folders?11:23
Mateo_sebsebseb: for the wubi boot, i can choose between seven and ubuntu so i supose that it boot properly no ?11:23
Prajwalmanually replacing the current xsplash folder11:23
root51how to activate my xplash11:23
indusmeowbuntu, there is a reason why gksu should be used for gui apps11:23
root51for karmic ubuntu11:23
sebsebsebMateo_: I thought your problem was that it woudn't boot?11:24
damnbadluck2meowbuntu:  permission is still denied.11:24
root51im using 9.1011:24
indusmeowbuntu, it can mess up permissions if used with sudo11:24
meowbuntuindus, i use sudo just fine from live cd ubuntu to do same other day11:24
indus!gksu11:24
ubottuIf you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why)11:24
michaeldobrovitskilev, the only kernel demand is smp, and it's there already11:24
Mateo_sebsebseb: it's not working when i choose ubuntu11:24
Prajwalroot51 you will find a folder xsplash replace the images and logos there11:24
sebsebsebMateo_: ok and in Ubuntu you have some important data?11:24
Prajwali dont remember the path exactly11:24
meowbuntuok damnbadluck2 use gksu nautilus then11:24
sebsebsebMateo_: that is not backed up some where else as well?11:24
Mateo_i do sebsebseb11:24
damnbadluck2meowbuntu:  permission still denied11:25
sebsebsebMateo_: ok well  it is possible to get hold of it, without booting Ubuntu from Wubi,  however I do not know the details for that.     Once you have the data, I suggest just doing a porper partitioned dual boot.  So first you should re size Windows 7 using Windows 7 if it's like Vista, or data loss might happen.  Then it's just set up a dual boot like normal.11:25
MyrttiMaja___: do you have Ubuntu support question?11:26
sebsebseb!dualboot > Mateo_11:26
