I'm fairly new to bash scripts and would greatly appreciate help passing an argument through a script.

[00:00] DavidJHeinrich yeah but it will be a soundriver, it will show the modules that are loaded, so you need to load the one that will work with that card [00:00] jose__; ls -l /dev/usb/lp0 [00:01] Random832, [00:01] DavidJHeinrich you can load it manually with modprobe [00:01] Random832, crw-rw---- 1 root lp 180, 0 2010-02-04 00:59 /dev/usb/lp0 [00:01] teknomage: this is what I see in lsmod: http://pastebin.com/m1976b1e [00:02] i d ont remembar italian channel,can you give me please [00:02] add yourself to the lp group [00:03] teknomage: yea, but how do I find out what to load? [00:03] ok [00:03] DavidJHeinrich yeah anything with snd is a soundriver, you might need to google and see what specific driver that chips requires, alsa might not have it in it's database [00:03] sudo adduser [your username] lp === Nooneshere-Away is now known as Nooneshere [00:04] How do I change the name of a my Ubuntu PC (9.04)?

[00:06] hyperstation, there is no default root password [00:06] so how to enable root session? [00:06] could anyone help me with a conky problem???? [00:06] hyperstation; sudo passwd root [00:06] kyon-MTfr thanks, didn't see him go! lol [00:07] why do you need to though? if you want a # shell just do sudo -s [00:07] you're welcome... may I bother you for my sound card problems please ? :D [00:07] u mean username:sudo password:root? [00:07] ZykoticK9; i just scrolled up and saw that... is there some sort of official document listing things we're not allowed to help people with? [00:07] hyperstation, no, type sudo before your command [00:07] kyon-MTfr sure, i'll try, haven't had much luck so far though lol [00:08] like : sudio vi /etc/group [00:08] *sudo vi /etc/group [00:08] hyperstation; no i mean type the command "sudo passwd root", then enter a password for root. [00:08] kyon-MTfr, did I mention its a server install? [00:08] or you could just type sudo before any command you want to run as root and leave it off, but it should have told you that [00:08] I dont see grub come up with the menu [00:08] Tiggers : no difference [00:08] [sudo -s to get a # shell] [00:08] Tiggers : no difference unless your boot manager is lilo, not grub [00:08] Random832, THANKS [00:08] !supportroot | Random832, hyperstation [00:08] Random832, hyperstation: We do not support having a root password set. See !root and !wfm for more information.

[00:09] !root [00:09] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password.

Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [00:11] so why does /etc/securetty exist, if root logins aren't supported? [00:12] and in general why the lack of barriers other than the unset password? [00:12] thanks to all [00:12] on my mandriva system I login as root all the time :P [00:12] as long as you pay strict attention nothing can go wrong [00:12] Random832, there are more road-blocks to root other then just the password, try logging into GDM as root and see how far you get [00:13] Anyone have any luck with evdo mmodems like Cricket or Verizon mobile broadband?

I have a small webdav issue. My vhost info: http://pastebin.com/m4d37d521 -- the problem I face is that my webdav functions 100%. When I surf to my IP/webdav (it is an internal IP) i have to auth myself. Problem I have.. when I surf to my alone it displays the contents of the /webdav map and I dont want that :) Anyone can point me in the right direction!? Thanks [00:15] where's the thing to start a second X session? [00:15] Random832, it's been by design ever since the first release -- we advise against enabling the root account and using su as sudo suffices when you want to become the superuser -- but perhaps it's more that you aren't around for support 24/7 [00:15] I'm getting mass "pulseaudio ratelimit.c events suppressed" in my /var/log/messages [00:16] i could swear there used to be a menu item to start a new gdm session in 9.04 - where did it go? [00:16] It seems to be occupying lots of CPU cycles and overall locking up my system. I understand that likely thousands of others are having this issue, also. [00:16] Hi all! [00:16] I assume it is because of this that my microphone will just drop after a period of time. [00:17] radom832: there's a command actually [00:17] Random832, gdmflexiserver will start a 2nd X session [00:17] ok, had to take out my old sound-card, wasn't working...on-board works for audio-out but not recording (although I hear feedback, so must be driver issue?)... [00:17] ok found it [00:17] Does anyone know if you can make custom keyboard shortcuts to programs in CLI? [00:17] Got a question. None of the "dynamic" style interfaces have been created in /dev/input, what do I need to look at?

It doesn't show up in the proprietary driver list. I have a disk that has Linux drivers but I don't know how to install them. [00:18] Random832:sorry my mistake [00:19] agentlandmine: You mean, shortcuts to launch programs? [00:19] kathie, out of curiosity...the linux drivers on the disk... are they in tar.gz format [00:19] zig, yes like you can in gnome, with gconf-editor [00:19] agentlandmine: Not sure that's possible... [00:19] coz_ no [00:20] hyperstation; if you just want a root shell, just run gksu gnome-terminal, or sudo -s from within a normal shell [00:20] agentlandmine: ALthough I think if there were a way to do that, you might find some light @ the end of the tunnel @ GNU Screen [00:20] kathie, ok in what format are they [00:20] agentlandmine: Or byobu [00:20] why do you want a root login? [00:21] coz_ There are a couple of folders and a couple of .dat files. there is also a makefile in the folder [00:21] zig_: oh yea? that would be cool, I was messing around with that, saw you can do a screen "split" if you compile it in... so probably some hope there [00:21] coz_: they're normally in .c format [00:21] kathie, ok is there also a README file or INSTALL file [00:21] Would I shrink my W7 partition, boot up the LiveCd, run the installer, etc; then I choose, "USE FREE SPACE" for the install (Dual-Boot)? [00:21] (which means she'll need gcc, libc-dev [00:21] err, glibc-dev [00:22] coz_ there is a readme_sta_usb file [00:22] zig_: I'll check out byobu, thanks for the heads up [00:22] coz_ I tried to read it but couldn't understand it [00:22] kathie, ok would you mind uploading that file to speedyshare.com and let me take a look at it [00:23] coz_ http://www.speedyshare.com/files/20760504/README_STA_usb [00:24] when i am trying to run svn update it is giving me error Skipped '-' [00:25] zig_: incidently, I found a nice program called "dvtm" that does split screen without X. thought i would pass it along. :) [00:25] kathie, ok let me read t hrough this...if I cant help I have another suggestion [00:25] coz_ Thank you [00:25] hello, when i am building a database how do i categorise all of my files into the same folder?

Then where do I specify options for a particular module? (in this case, w83627hf) === eaglewatch is now known as EagleWatch [00:48] I just upgraded to 9.10, and my sound doesn't work. Does anyone offhand know the proper packages to either reinstall or dpkg-reconfigure ?

[00:53] SeaPhor, all updates loaded 9.10 but have not checked restricted drivers, where do i check those [00:53] dsundar, is it an integrated BT/wlan card? [00:54] jtholmes, check System>Administrator>Hardware Drivers [00:54] Hi helpers, is there an app for recording the audio from youtube videos? [00:54] hey. i'm trying to install a downloaded .deb file but it refuses to install because it is a i386 program and i am running the amd64 version of 9.10. I thought that 64bit could still run 32bit code...? [00:54] SeaPhor, thanks will do [00:55] SeaPhor yes it is its for A Gateway MD 7818u Laptop [00:55] Markive, use "sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture $PACKAGE.DEB" and it'll install [00:56] I could find a few informations as the size of the old partitions in blocks, but I really dunno how to "rebuild" the partition based on that information [00:56] ZykoticK9: thanks [00:56] dsundar, i am looking into that now...

[00:57] zykotick9 I got an error, is there a way of installing it from a repository? whats the app called? [00:57] xps, also be sure you have "ia32-libs" installed, and if you have issues with 32bit libs check out the program "getlibs" [00:58] Markive, so sorry man, it was suppose to be directed to someone else :) i use firefox/chrome pluggins to download youtube video, i can then use mplayer to dump only the audio [00:58] ZykoticK9: ia32-libs seems to be installed but I'll keep getlibs in mind. any reason why using that method wouldn't create menu items automatically? [00:58] * kthomas_vh joins [00:59] zykotick9 thanks very much for your time [00:59] xps, normal menu items "should" be created... [00:59] howdy: is there a better option for file transfer, when you need users locked into directories, than rssh?

[01:02] !enter | imachine [01:02] imachine: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

[01:07] dsundar, pastebin your lsusb, if you dont already have it installed then do sudo apt-get install pastebinit and then do lsusb > lsusb.txt && pastebinit lsusb.txt [01:07] DavidJHeinrich: I;ve found chipsets are supported not the brand so much [01:08] jtholmes, heh "k" [01:08] ZykoticK9: that doesn't seem to actually drag the window; what modifier is alt supposed to be sending? [01:08] carl-m, I don't think you can push a window's titlebar through a gnome-panel [01:08] dholbert: with the right settings you can [01:08] Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like? [01:08] ZykoticK9: it works for me with the meta key [01:08] dholbert: ZykoticK9 was right [01:08] carl-m, unless "visual effects" are enabled (compiz) [01:08] dyustin: Pastebin the output of xrandr from your terminal to pastebin.com [01:09] carl-m, ok, you must have compiz enabled then [01:09] ahh ok [01:09] hey guys can anyone help me setup my mythtv+happauge pvr 350, when i go to watch tv nothing happensit says start recorder timed out waiting for recorder to start [01:09] Hi guys, is there any command that I can see which command is writing like a crazy in my disk ? Here vmstat i/o is bi 520 and bo 967 [01:09] ! who | dyustin [01:09] dyustin: 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 :) [01:09] dholbert: how would I check if that is enabled? [01:09] jaysonsantos: hrm top? [01:09] carl-m, right-click desktop, "Change Desktop Background", Visual Effects tab [01:09] SeaPhor, looks like the b43 restricted driver is being used pkg b43-fwcutter installed it [01:10] carl-m, oh wait, I lied [01:10] dholbert: set to "none" [01:10] carl-m, right, same here, and Alt+Drag does indeed let me move stuff through a gnome-panel [01:10] I'd really like to use Ubuntu, but it seems that my Toshiba laptop refuses to cooperate [01:10] carl-m, so, nevermind :) [01:10] ZykoticK9, 2.6.27-15-generic [01:10] dholbert: presumably your alt key is actually setting the meta modifier [01:10] I've tried installing from my USB drive, and after what appears to be a successful installation [01:10] ubuntu refuses to load [01:10] toastedmilk, and i think 2.6.31 is the karmic kernel [01:10] carl-m, probably [01:10] Bsims: if you look here, the one I'm interested in is the Xonar DS (AV200 chipset)...it says "not all inputs work" (huh?), while other AV200 chipsets say "no HDMI output", and 2 of the AV200 ones don't have any such notes: http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Vendor-Asus [01:10] I then tried to install within Windows to dual boot, just to see if that works [01:10] evolv: could be worse, could be debian [01:11] but the same problem persists [01:11] Bsims, what? [01:11] jtholmes, is there another option there,,, like "STA" ? [01:11] evolv: Explain what happens when you try to boot ubuntu [01:11] ZykoticK9, so go to a virtual console and try..? [01:11] evolv sounds like your mbr is messed up or a bad track 0 in the hd? [01:11] DavidJHeinrich: I'm ancient enough that sometimes they change physical chips and keep the same model number [01:11] soreau, it looks like it's loading, then the screen goes black [01:11] ZykoticK9: thanks [01:11] hi all I am trying to get my printer working. It worked before my pc had a HD failure. After the new install I am getting an error /usr/lib/cups/filter/pstocanonij failed. How do I fix this? that file owner is root and the permissions are 755. [01:11] Bsims I couldn't realize which is disk usage [01:11] Hi, I just wrote a partition table over the wrong drive. Haven't rebooted and everything is still *fine*. Any easy way to get the *live* partition table re-written on the drive? [01:12] evolv: debian assumes you know more than you do [01:12] I could find a few informations as the size of the old partitions in blocks, but I really dunno how to "rebuild" the partition based on that information [01:12] evolv: Does it freeze the machine at that point? Or can you still here it working? [01:12] Bsims: but these ones all list the same chipset? [01:12] jaysonsantos: let me check for the right incantation [01:12] toastedmilk, first confirm that i'm correct about the kernel version; second I have no idea how to fix - i didn't have the issue (BUT MANY MANY people did) [01:12] hola [01:12] DavidJHeinrich: Hrm, dunno then sorry [01:12] soreau, it's definitely frozen, the only thing I can do is ctrl-alt-del twice to reboot [01:12] SeaPhor, u mean another driver option 'STA' [01:12] ZykoticK9, lol === karina is now known as Guest98601 [01:12] Bsims Find it using man [01:12] evolv: Which graphics card do you have and which version of ubuntu did you install? [01:13] che alguien en castellano [01:13] soreau, it's integrated [01:13] soreau, but it's an "ATI Mobility Radeon" [01:13] ZykoticK9, yeah, its definitely intrepid [01:13] meh [01:13] evolv: and version of ubuntu? [01:13] soreau, 9.10 [01:14] toastedmilk, it has something to do with Grub not updating correctly [01:14] evolv did you say windows does the same thing when you boot it? [01:14] evolv: How far does ubuntu load up? [01:14] teknomage, Windows works fine [01:14] Bsims: ok,thanks though [01:14] jtholmes, yes, if the one you have enabled isnt working, [01:14] Anyone know of code or prog to combine Multiple wifi connections for greater Bandwidth? [01:14] soreau: http://pastebin.com/d2c18fb3c [01:14] soreau, some typical text scrolls on the screen, indicating boot up, then it just goes black [01:16] jaysonsantos: try lsof [01:16] evolv maybe you need to run vesa video? === EagleWatch is now known as eaglewatch [01:16] SeaPhor, no just ath_pci for the internal wireless and b43 for the the Linksys wpc54g no other drivers for wireless [01:16] teknomage, what is that? [01:16] anyone knows a channel where i can ask question about ip addresses [01:17] cyberjunk502: thats a rather broad/generic topic. [01:17] cyberjunk502, whats the question? [01:17] jaysonsantos: try or atop [01:17] dyustin: Try this command to see if it works: xrandr --output TV1 --set "tv standard" ntsc [01:17] evolv it's just a stock driver, you won't get the res or speed but it works most of the time [01:17] Would someone be willing to teach me a bit about how to use ssh via pm? Ive been trying to work it out using howto's and the like, but I seem to be missing something [01:17] faultyground: I can try... [01:17] evolv: Can you try booting with radeon.modeset=1 to see if it makes a difference? [01:18] Bsims: Thanks =) I'd appreciate it [01:18] PM away [01:18] soreau: u mean "pal"at the end .. i want it in pal but it is in ntsc all the time !? [01:18] jtholmes, can you pastebin the output of sudo lshw -C network for me plz? [01:18] soreau, I honestly don't know how to make that adjustment [01:18] dyustin: Oh yes, change ntsc for pal [01:18] Bsims atop show me great statics [01:18] Hi. I have an IRC bot installed on a debian system. I see the pid (it's a perl process) but on ps it appears as a forged name. lsof didn't help, /proc/$PID shows only perl, strace -p $PID shows only current traffic but not the name and location of script. Any ideas? Thanks. [01:19] hello can anyone help me download a file from a website using the wget command?? [01:19] evolv: This is boot parameter, i think so [01:19] Bsims, I would also like to use ssh and have issues. Is there any outline of steps to follow?

[01:19] evolv: At the grub prompt, press e then append this option to the line with vmlinuz after the other args (for instance ro quiet splash radeon.modeset=1) [01:20] hi all I am trying to get my printer working. It worked before my pc had a HD failure. After the new install I am getting an error /usr/lib/cups/filter/pstocanonij failed. How do I fix this? that file owner is root and the permissions are 755. [01:20] dr_willis: it says command not found [01:20] evolv: you have to use that line during bootup or @ grub [01:20] Bsims, actually both ways! I too have done the howto's until no end. [01:20] Question, I have tried google! Any known code or prog to combine Multiple wifi connections for greater Bandwidth? [01:20] cyberjunk502, ifconfig eth0 [01:20] rich7: what in particular do you want to do? [01:20] jtholmes, you can do sudo apt-get install pastebinit and then do sudo lshw -C network > wnet.txt && pastebinit wnet.txt [01:20] cyberjunk502, lists ip and other info [01:20] soreau: spits out this error - http://pastebin.com/d6f0514a6 [01:20] ekim: I use Putty every day to connect to my Linux machine from windows [01:21] sloopy: its not working [01:21] cyberjunk502: you got somtuhing weirg going on then. [01:21] willis@server:~$ ifconfig [01:21] eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:11:09:88:83:9f [01:21] SeaPhor, thanks will do that [01:21] cyberjunk502, try just 'ifconfig' [01:21] uhg i can't take it anymore, i'm going back to debian [01:22] ekim: try ssh IPAddress [01:22] Dr_willis: i am using a dailup connection [01:22] cyberjunk502, just ifconfig by itself [01:22] dyustin: Well, that command is for radeon drivers.. you could ask what the equivalent command is, in #intel-gfx [01:22] Pardus 2009.1 review http://distrocheck.wordpress.com/2010/02/04/pardus-2009-1-review/ [01:22] jtholmes, btw, the "C" is capital [01:22] Bsims, you mean once putty is installed? [01:22] ifconfig worked for me.... [01:22] Is my question unaswerable or can someone help [01:22] Right. I want to load a particular module (w83627hf), but when I attempt to load it (on kernel 2.6.31) there's a message in the dmesg output stating there's a conflict between that driver and acpitz (ACPI Thermal Zone). What I want to do is make ACPITZ leave that port range alone (in effect, not get loaded) so I can load the other module. [01:23] intel-gfx is somehow closed when i write something it is not shown to the channel ?! [01:23] Can someone help out with this? [01:23] sloopy: it is not working guys [01:23] dyustin: You can also look the the intel man page, perhaps it tells you in there (man intel) [01:23] ekim: correct, or for linux to linux try ssh IP [01:23] ill try [01:23] icek0ld: what you refer to is connection bonding. i have absolutely no understanding why you would want to do that [01:23] cyberjunk502, with just ifconfig it isnt working? [01:23] ekim: can I share with you the most important instruction on any Linux machine? [01:23] Bsims, of course! [01:23] yeah its working wait a minute [01:23] ekim: man man, its the manual for the manual for every program [01:23] is ubuntu better than windows 7? [01:24] Viking667: rmmod acpitz (this will unload the acpitz module) [01:24] gilberto: depends [01:24] there ain't one. [01:24] cyberjunk502: if ifconfig command is not working, try this /sbin/ifconfig [01:24] soreau: but i thought xrandr is for X in general ? [01:24] gilberto, ask in #ubuntu-offtopic [01:24] how do i get ivtv-fb module ? [01:24] lol [01:24] thank you! [01:24] What is the WinXP dos equivalent of the Linux "identify" command?? [01:24] Bsims, I hear yuh. [01:24] I'm really stuck on that... [01:24] daftykins: Thanks I have seen expensive hardware that will do this but not any code or prog that would be free or open [01:24] dyustin: There are driver specific options [01:24] hello wanna ask how do i use ffmpeg? [01:24] dyustin: You probably have to be registered to talk there [01:24] sloopy: i got it show my ip is 10.68.2.233 [01:24] just done apt-get install ffmpeg [01:24] ! register | dyustin [01:24] dyustin: Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. Registration help available in #freenode [01:24] abx: what is your goal? [01:25] but it doesnot show any [01:25] soreau: there is no acpitz module loaded [01:25] cyberjunk502, sounds about right [01:25] is there a "make oldconfig" equivalent for ubuntu kernel? [01:25] Viking667: Look in the output of lsmod [01:25] i think its a private ip address given to intranet networks [01:25] ayam_jago, ffmpeg is a command line program - look for a frontent if you want a GUI [01:25] SeaPhor, http://pastebin.com/f189f1c92 [01:25] yo yo yo [01:25] abx: what do you want to know? [01:25] ... yeah. Nothing even closely related to acpi. [01:25] what your user name is or what? [01:25] sloopy, what you say [01:25] well, i want to extract the image dimensions [01:25] actionParsnip: what? [01:25] form a list of png files... [01:25] :d [01:25] ayam_jago: winff or handbrake are frontends but won't give you as much control [01:26] * Viking667 guesses the silly buggers compiled acpi into the kernel. [01:26] what package do I need to get to pick up programming man pages? (you know, getpid, shmget, pthread_mutex_create, strcmp, etc)? [01:26] cyberjunk502, sounds like a reasonable ip address [01:26] Viking667, do lsmod | grep -i acpitz [01:26] what's the diff between pidof and pgrep, other than pgrep puts each pid on a newline? [01:26] yo: haha dude I always say that when I join, no foolin [01:26] ok then.. thanks [01:26] *from a list of png files... [01:26] I did. There are no modules with acpi in their name [01:26] icek0ld: you could use bridge-utils but it'd get messy. consider a cable :) [01:26] Falun: Perhaps the -dev packages [01:26] Falun: you want the -doc [01:26] abx: imagemagick might be able to tell you [01:26] sloopy: but when i check my ip through whatismyip.com it gives my something differnet [01:27] soreau: thank u ! [01:27] glibc-doc [01:27] !nat [01:27] dyustin: I hope you get it working [01:27] sloopy:like 210.***.45.112 [01:27] Bsims, Viking667: thanks [01:27] so there is no DOS command? [01:27] cyberjunk502, me too [01:27] abx: dos is a windows thing [01:27] me too ;) [01:27] abx: But its not a ubuntu related [01:28] abx: check the abilities in the imagemagick package [01:28] abx: the imagemagick tools hage stuff to do that. [01:28] nuts [01:28] yes, i'm stuck in windows for some reason, and i need the dos equivalent of identify just to extract those image dimensions... [01:28] abx: man imagemagick [01:28] * Dr_Willis missed how dos figures into this.. [01:28] sloopy: i am using gprs dialup connection but its giving me same ip address when i restart the connection [01:28] abx: see if theres dos ports of imagemagick. i guess [01:28] jtholmes, and your original goal is wlan or bluetooth? (sorry got lost in all was helping...) [01:28] abx: why are you asking for help in windows / dos in a Linux channel? [01:28] * Bsims still finds it great that the command to tell who you are logged in as is whoami [01:29] sloopy: same on the whatismyip.com [01:29] cyberjunk502, your dialing in to a box that probly uses ip masquerading or similar, to continue on to the inet [01:29] Hi - If I run - sudo apt-get install virtualbox - in Terminal - Will this download and install the latest version - Or - Would it be best to google download Virtualbox for Ubuntu and go that route ? ? === roman is now known as Guest53342 [01:29] snayth: the latest is not always in the repos. [01:29] hola [01:29] Bsims: ubuntu is multi-usered so you can su to another user, so its actually useful [01:29] QUE MAS [01:29] what is ip masquerading [01:29] snayth, if you want to use USB in your VMs you need to add the Sun Repo for VB [01:29] Dr_Willis, [01:29] snayth: and the ones from the vbox homepage has addational features [01:29] actionParnsnip: because knowledge is not bounded by the OS one happens to be using... [01:29] SeaPhor, wlan usage only to a linksys wrt54g router [01:29] plus i'm a member of the community [01:29] anyways [01:29] snayth: but the one from apt-get will automatically stay up to date [01:30] abx: commands in linux will not transcribe to windows so will not work [01:30] COUT<<"HI ALL\n"; [01:30] siema [01:30] i know [01:30] that's why i asked for the EQUIVALENT [01:30] actionParsnip: I know, and I've been running unixlike OS's for about a decade now [01:30] abx: and we said imagemagick [01:31] jtholmes, try this and see which one gets hits (prolly wlan2) iwlist scan [01:31] thank you!

Is it formatted/etc?

[02:37] i keep dropping packets wirelessly, can i go back to using the driver for my atheros from 9.04?

[02:37] randal rm [02:37] randal: "rm" [02:37] thanks [02:37] Out_Cold: linksys [02:37] how do you delete things ''without'' the terminal? [02:38] I have a website that can ONLY be viewed in IE - any suggestions? [02:38] rainy-day, if you need help forwarding or setting up a dns name just PM me [02:38] Out_Cold: ok thanks will do if I run into issues [02:38] carl-m, get permissions to do it and press delete [02:38] Anyone familiar with electricsheep in here. I kinda have a noobish question... [02:38] only thing that sucks is it is just a copy of all the packages..doesn't install them. i wish there was a way to pretty much copy the OS to another location with all the packages installed and ready like it already was [02:38] ae86-drifter1: that would require installing a file manager? [02:38] MTecknology, i remember FF having a 'agent' plugin that allows you to mask FF as IE [02:38] or knowing hoe to run one [02:38] MTecknology, fake your host header in firefox, or use a VM with IE [02:39] ZykoticK9: ok i got gaprted installed, what label should i put ? msdos ? [02:39] Out_Cold: I think it's deper than that.. [02:39] MTecknology: Point the webmaster at http://validator.w3.org/ ? Or change Firefox's user agent.... [02:39] What is the code to replace something using terminal [02:39] ZykoticK9: yes I think I want to use linux mostly, maybe 400 gig linux, 100 gig of widows [02:39] Kengine, what filesystem do you want? (Side note - i'm NO expert in gparted at all, i'm more a cli guy) [02:39] MTecknology, i don't think it is... it does what the others are suggesting with headers [02:40] ZykoticK9: any file system that works on linux will do fine [02:40] Uh... I don't mean to interrupt... [02:40] genii: I'll try an addon - I KNOW it's not w3 compliant - it was coded in asp.net :P [02:40] Hello, Inkscape is segfaulting each time I try to inser text [02:40] !ask | Geothermal [02:40] Geothermal: 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. :-) [02:41] *insert [02:41] Kengine, so i'd create a linux partition of about 400G and a Windows of 100G with Gparted... not sure if that's straightforward or not with gparted, i'm hoping it is [02:41] Kengine, you'll want to format the linux side either ext3 or ext4 - your choice [02:42] ZykoticK9: one thing, can I access this 2nd hdd from my windows, my windows is inside the sun virtualbox inside Ubuntu [02:42] is it against the rules to idle in here? [02:42] Sorry. My bad. Um, where does electricsheep install into? I know it's supposed to be into my home folder, but I can't find it. I've downloaded it and installed it with apt-get, but it won't download a sheep. I got a sheep pack but I don't know where to extract it to. [02:42] geo /etc/ [02:42] anon__, no... 1180 users are idling :p [02:42] Kengine, are you using Virtualbox OSE (from repo) or direct from Sun PUEL version? or do you know. [02:42] genii: it actually needs IE [02:42] genii: isn't there something in the repos for that? [02:42] ok..lol [02:42] ZykoticK9: I dont know, I am using a free one [02:43] geo: was i right? [02:43] anon__, I can't find it in there either [02:43] ZykoticK9: but I can access a shared folder with ubuntu [02:43] do a filesearch for it.. [02:43] I did. No results [02:43] Kengine, they are both free (as in beer), did you install it from Ubuntu repo? if so then it's the OSE and doesn't support USB in any way, so this drive might not work. [02:43] then my guess is it isnt installed [02:44] It is installed cuz if I run it from the CLI it tries to download a sheep, but won't connect to the network [02:44] ZykoticK9: so if it supports USB then this will work ? I can check it with a USB drive [02:44] I just apt-get it a couple minutes ago too. [02:44] Geothermal, what was the app you installed?? [02:44] electricsheep [02:44] Geothermal, and what was the search you tried? [02:44] Kengine, to install the "real" version of VirtualBox see instructions for adding repository at http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads [02:44] The same thine [02:44] Geothermal, locate sheep? [02:45] In the terminal? [02:45] yes [02:45] I am trying to recompile my kernel with high-resolution timer enabled. I am trying to follow these steps: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile but when I get to debian/rules stuffs, I dont know how to run these commands. [02:45] Out_Cold: it's not the header - I need some sort of IE - I thought there was something in the repos to run a hacked up vversion of IE6 [02:45] Yeah, that worked. But I have a multitude of files. [02:45] ZykoticK9: should I create the new drive as extended partition ? I am not thinking of booting from this drive [02:46] MTecknology, possibly.. but when i was trying to access my government website i ran into a similar problem and could not find a solution [02:46] Kengine, you can just use Primary so long as you don't want more then 4 partitions on the drive (it doesn't actually matter that much whichever you do) [02:46] Geothermal, locate sheep | grep usr/ [02:47] Geothermal, or locate sheep | grep etc/ [02:47] Same results. Which directory would contain the sheep files? [02:47] what is grep for? [02:47] !grep [02:47] It's a search. [02:47] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [02:47] ZykoticK9: should I go for ex2 or ex3 ? [02:47] MTecknology: You could try something along the lines of this(which is for a really old Ubuntu, 6.10):http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Installation:Ubuntu [02:47] Kengine, 3! [02:47] Geothermal: the p2p-ness of electric sheep only goes while the screensaver is running [02:48] anon__, it's a filtering tool... [02:48] Geothermal: and it takes a long time. probably best to just download a sheep-pack yourself and put it in ~/.sheep [02:48] But I need a sheep to begin the screensaver, right? [02:48] what is it for Geothermal? [02:48] And I downloaded the pack. I don't know where to put the pack. [02:48] Geothermal: if you set electric sheep as your screensaver and have no sheep yet, itll jsut be solid black until however many days/weeks it takes to get sheep [02:48] Geothermal: unpack the sheep pack into ~/.sheep [02:49] anon__: g= global, re = regular expresion, p = print [02:49] !electricsheep [02:49] I can't find the ~/.sheep file is my problem. THat's what I need help with, locating the directory. [02:49] genii: that's probably what I was thinking of - this web app really sucks..... [02:49] anon__: it searches through a file to find whatever string you specify [02:49] oh..ok [02:49] genii: ondemand5.com [02:49] Geothermal: ~ means your home directory [02:49] It's not in there. [02:49] Geothermal: . means its hidden [02:49] i just got on linux yeterday [02:49] genii: then click the login button [02:49] Geothermal: so turn on hidden files in your file browser (in the view menu) [02:50] i messed with it some when i was a kid..but that was over 10 yrs ago [02:50] <[V13]Axel> When I tried to create a script of 'sudo modprobe ndiswrapper' in /etc/init.d/, nothing happened upon startup. [02:50] i dont think they had anything but terminals back then..no GUI [02:50] Geothermal: it might not exist yet. in that case, make a new folder named ".sheep" in your home directory [02:50] That did it. Ok. Thanks. Sorry for all the trouble. [02:50] anon__: remember the manpages from back then? [02:50] [V13]Axel: for a simple command - you may want to put the command in /etc/rc.local [02:50] vaguely [02:50] anon__: but yeah, linux had guis 10 years ago [02:50] anon__: kde was around in 1996 [02:50] MTecknology: "500 - Internal server error. There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be display" [02:51] they must have sucked horribly cause i dont remember using them [02:51] <[V13]Axel> Dr_Willis: What would this do? [02:51] [V13]Axel: rc.local gets ran at boot time [02:51] anon__: kde back then wouldve resembled CDE [02:51] CDE? [02:51] genii: yup - in IE, it loads just fine.... [02:51] [V13]Axel: theres also a modules list somewhere for what modules to autoload taht would make your command sort of pointless. [02:51] anon__: the Common Desktop Environment... was used on a lot of unixes. ive used it on Solaris [02:51] <[V13]Axel> Well, I have tried many ways to start it... [02:51] MTecknology: Lemme change my user agent and try again [02:52] Hi All, I am still battling to get java installed 'n just tried to run synaptic 'n it told me I have a broken package 'n to use the broken package filter to correct it. How do I do that? [02:52] <[V13]Axel> and none have given me any results. [02:52] [V13]Axel: that command in rc.local would be the same as if you ran it from a terminal. [02:52] ZykoticK9: ok got it formatted with gparted [02:53] oh..ok [02:53] Ubuntu 9.10 says, "There is no application installed for block device files", Please help me!!!!!!!!!! [02:53] well ill be back later..gonna go bathe my son and put him to bed [02:53] Kengine, now you should be able to mount it with "sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sda1" genii: ok - it didn't work for me - just a blank page - like it's trying to read some dll that only ie has or some ugly thing like that [02:53] <[V13]Axel> Dr_Willis: Would I need to put my password after, or is it auto-root? [02:53] thanks for the help [02:53] Johnny1: that makes sense. what were you trying to do? [02:53] [V13]Axel: rc.local is allready ran as root.. its ran befor a user even logs in [02:53] <[V13]Axel> Ah. [02:53] <[V13]Axel> Thanks. [02:54] Johnny1: a partitioner is the only thing thatd operate on a block device (ie, a whole hard disk) [02:54] * Homely_Girl would like to apologise if my flirty behaviour made anyone feel uncomfortable! I was notably told off 'n it won't happen again! [02:54] hey folks, i can't get sed to evaluate the variable in a line such as: sed -i 's/\/usr\/sbin/\/foo/$bar/' in this case, bar=/usr/sbin/bar [02:54] * Homely_Girl shrugs her shoulders 'n figures no one can help....will try another time! [02:54] most people i find acting like girls on IRC are Fbi agents.. :) [02:55] genii: While you try that I'm going to download wine for ies4linux [02:55] maco: Whenever I insert a usb device, It doesn't show up. I looked up all of the USB devices plugged in with the command "blkid". One of them said where my USB device was located. I went there, tried to open the file, and it gave me this: There is no application installed for block device files. [02:55] Dr_Willis: that's offtopic for this channel [02:55] Johnny1: ah, ok. you want to mount it. [02:56] maco: yes [02:56] Johnny1: any chance when you go to places -> my computer it lists a new drive? [02:56] ZykoticK9: sweet I got it mounted, so how do I make it automount ? [02:56] MTecknology: When i use an IE user agent string in Namoroka I gat a blank there. When just using default string I get the previous server error [02:56] Johnny1: if so, you can double click it there [02:56] genii: yup - same here [02:56] genii: I'm still downloading wine... [02:57] <[V13]Axel> Dr_Willis: Uhm... Where is rd.local? XD [02:57] maco: Before I insert my flash drive, it shows cdrom0 and filesystem. After, the same. [02:57] [V13]Axel: its rc.local and its in /etc/ [02:57] <[V13]Axel> Ah. Thanks. [02:57] Kengine, add a line to fstab like "/dev/sdb1 /mnt/sda1 ext3 errors=remount-ro 0 1" [02:57] [V13]Axel: for a simple command - you may want to put the command in /etc/rc.local [02:57] <[V13]Axel> I was looking at the wrong thing. [02:57] Johnny1: else: sudo mkdir /media/disk ; sudo mount $the_dev_it_said /media/disk [02:57] MTecknology: Actually I'm getting a more comprehensive error now... I'll pastebin [02:57] On the Ubuntu one website I can see my files. Can anyone else download those files with any launchpad account? [02:57] [V13]Axel: there is some modules autoload file that is the best place to put it. [02:57] helo.. can i use internet DJ Console for streaming @ my shoutcast?? [02:58] hey [02:58] ZykoticK9: what are the chances that Ubuntu is gonna automount it ? should I reboot and check ? [02:58] im having trouble joining a channel [02:58] <[V13]Axel> Dr_Willis: I have no /etc/rc.local. [02:58] #math [02:58] Kengine, zero [02:58] maco: terminal says, "mount: can't find /media/disk in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab" [02:58] how come i cant join it [02:58] MTecknology: http://paste.ubuntu.com/369259/ [02:58] Cannot join channel (+r) - you need to be identified with services [02:58] kevin-nygen: ask in #freenode [02:58] ok [02:58] ZykoticK9: lol ok [02:58] Kengine, wait is this a USB drive? [02:59] Johnny1: replace $the_dev_it_said with /dev/whatever your usb drive was [02:59] [V13]Axel: then you got a weird setup then. its on every ubuntu release/variant ive ever seen.. on most every disrto ive ever tried also [02:59] ZykoticK9: no internal 2nd hard drive in Ultrabay [02:59] Kengine, then ya fstab is required [02:59] <[V13]Axel> Dr_Willis: I'm using Jaunty, upgraded from Hardy. [02:59] ZykoticK9: before mounting it I saw Ubuntu recognized it after formatting [02:59] genii: that doesn't happen in IE... [02:59] [V13]Axel: make the file then.. or double check your spelling. [02:59] [V13]Axel: you may want to consider upgradingto a newer release some time soon. [03:00] genii: it's irritating... I want to fix this today [03:00] <[V13]Axel> Dr_Willis: I'm doing this via nautilus with root properties. [03:00] [V13]Axel: use the shell look and see ls -l /etc/rc.local [03:00] MTecknology: I blame the site [03:00] <[V13]Axel> Dr_Willis: I would, but 9.10 uses X instead of GDM for the login. [03:00] genii: same here [03:00] [V13]Axel: err... GDM uses X anyway... that makes no sence [03:00] <[V13]Axel> Dr_Willis: And I use GDM for my customizations. [03:01] maco: It says it doesn't exist [03:01] [V13]Axel: its using a newer verison of GDM. you CAN downgrade the GDM in 09.10 to the older gdm versions if you wanted [03:01] is there any way to make the icons default to the right side instead of the left side in gnome [03:01] dbruhn: ive never seen a way. Seen people ask that befor. But never seen a way [03:01] <[V13]Axel> Dr_Willis: I read that it starts using X instead of GDM in order to boot faster. [03:02] <[V13]Axel> Well, I have to go anyway. Goodnight all. [03:02] [V13]Axel: GDM is an X application.. so someones info is incorrect [03:02] yeah 9.10 uses the x11 boot screen instead of the gnome one [03:03] so you can choose which desktop environemnt you want to use [03:03] they have said it boots faster [03:03] boot to a commandline, much faster [03:03] dbruhn: GDM allows you to choose which desktop or window manager you want to use too [03:03] Err. I think theres some terms getting used wrongly. 9.10 uses the newer version of GDM [03:03] thats not a 'x11 boot screen' [03:03] and it sstill an X application [03:03] sup [03:03] . [03:03] maco: It says it doesn't exist [03:03] dbruhn, trust me that's not XDM you're seen, if people complain about the brown they've never seen XDM before... [03:04] I'm back. I got the .avi's set in the ./sheep folder, but when I run electricsheep for the cli it sill tries to download a sheep. [03:04] Grub -> kernel -> X and Xsplash load -> gdm -> xsplash -> desktop [03:04] sup guys [03:04] Hello I need help today [03:04] what do you need help with? [03:04] X is loaded befor most services are done also. [03:04] I was wondering if there was a 'hardcore' Ubuntu for Hardcore users [03:04] Dr_Willis: Thank you, I was getting confused as well [03:05] ardchoille: I think i got the order right. :) [03:05] 9.10 doesn't challenge me anymore [03:05] I thonk so too [03:05] *think [03:05] Johnny1: what did it say your usb's /dev is? [03:05] and if anyone NEEDS the old gdm. you CAN downgrade 9.10's gdm2 to the old gdm [03:05] !xdm [03:05] i think any variant of ubuntu is inherantly not hardcore [03:05] rhino get normal debian [03:05] <_schism_> evening all [03:05] gentoo. [03:05] or go with cent and learn redhat [03:05] work time for me. bye all. === james is now known as Guest52095 [03:05] So you're saying that Ubuntu isn't a good distro? [03:05] rhinoserious: you could alpha test 10.04.... [03:05] why when i type grub in the terminal it says it isnt found? yet it boots up with bootloader [03:05] maco: it said this, "/dev/sdf1: LABEL="PERSONAL" UUID="4C78-01AE" TYPE="vfat" " === yy is now known as Kengine [03:06] maco: no thanks, that guy just told me that ubuntu sucks [03:06] On the Ubuntu one website I can see my files. Can anyone else download those files with any launchpad account? [03:06] Johnny1: ok so sudo mount /dev/sdf1 /media/disk [03:06] 1,280 people? Good God [03:06] rhinoserious: no, he said if you want something harder to use, try something else ;) [03:06] Hi all! I have a USB keyboard. Only way I can wake up my computer from Suspend is by pressing the power button on the tower. Any way to make it so that it will respond to a key press or a mouse click? [03:06] I'm back. I got the .avi's set in the ./sheep folder, but when I run electricsheep for the cli it sill tries to download a sheep. [03:06] I forgot your nick man, it automounted without adding the line in fstab [03:06] JihadJoe: well four or so bots in that number as well [03:07] I upgraded to 9.10 but my kernel image is still 2.27-15, how can I update this? [03:07] maco: yea. if Ubuntu can't adhere to its users, then what's the point of anyone at all using it? [03:07] rhinoserious: ubuntu aims to be usable for normal users. if you don't want it to be usable and want it to be difficult so you can get more geek cred, then either switch to something thats "1337er" or become a develoer [03:07] Kengine, cool [03:07] *developer [03:07] maco: TY SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11 [03:07] oin #ubuntu-fr [03:07] Johnny1: no problem [03:07] maco: ty [03:07] I am a normal user [03:07] Anyone have the issue of Ubuntu 9.10 (64bit) freezing up when wireshark is ran with sudo? [03:07] hi [03:07] !otrs [03:07] rhinoserious, it's hard to say that any given distro is good or sucks in a general sense... they are all a litle different, and suited to different tasks. Just because you can't twist a screw with a hammer doesn't mean it sucks in general [03:07] why when i type grub in the terminal it says it isnt found? yet it boots up with bootloader [03:07] ZykoticK9: lol, but I cant copy data on it [03:07] anyone ever setup otrs for ubuntu 9.04?? [03:08] i tried apt-get install otrs2 but it gives me error [03:08] BitWraith: why not make a hammer with a screwdriver at the end, then? [03:08] should i setup from source..? [03:08] i cant get eth0 or wifi to work eth0 is broadcom 440x and wifi is dell1390 please help [03:08] wouldn't that double the usablity? [03:08] Kengine, "cd /mnt && sudo chmod ugo+rwx sda1" [03:08] i recently installed clamav when i add files to the machine via ftp will they be scanned automatically? [03:08] rhinoserious: what do you mean by hardcore? do you mean something thatll make you sound like a computer genius because you know how to use it? if so, gentoo [03:08] !info otrs2 | krismanto [03:08] krismanto: otrs2 (source: otrs2): Open Ticket Request System.

[03:09] blakkheim: er not you [03:10] rhinoserious: means this is a support channel so if youre not asking for help solving a specific issue (or being the solver), go to #ubuntu-offtopic [03:10] How do i know if i have jaunty or karmic? [03:10] rhinoserious: you can be an ubuntu power user if you want to [03:10] krismanto: what package?

[03:10] ZykoticK9: should I add that line in fstab ? [03:10] rhinoserious: it means you dg into the command line and become a ninja ;) [03:10] how do i enable my broadcom 44x ethernet and dell 1390 wifi? [03:10] arghh2d2:sorry wrong name [03:10] if you want to continue your distro wars in ##sandbox I don't think anyone there would object [03:10] ok [03:10] Kengine, not if it's automounting correctly [03:10] krismanto: Ah,ok [03:10] anon__: or system > About Ubuntu and what does it say? [03:11] ty [03:11] Any scp gui options? [03:11] rhinoserious, I'm saying that even if you can that won't make more specialized distros obsolete overnight. They all have a purpose. [03:11] rhinoserious: you can use normal ubuntu and be a power user. i am. just because there are graphical tools to make things easy doesnt mean you have to use them. learn the command line. [03:11] I want to be able to just drag and drop [03:11] i have nohup'ed a command. is there any way I can poll the nohup.out file for changes and any time there is a change, print it out? [03:11] disappearedng_: nautilus (the file browser) can connect to servers and do that [03:11] maco please define power user [03:11] CppIsWeird: tail -f ~/nohup.out [03:11] Graphical tools are there to help the people who don't know how to live without a point-and-click interface [03:11] how do i enable my broadcom 44x ethernet and dell 1390 wifi? [03:11] I see that term thrown around a lot. What does it mean to be a power user [03:12] maco: awesome, thanks. [03:12] how do i enable my broadcom 440x ethernet and dell 1390 wifi? [03:12] just because ubuntu is pretty well polished out of the box, doesn't mean a power users hate it [03:12] maco: oh shit man that's sick [03:12] rhinoserious: Find a distro here http://www.distrowatch.com [03:12] ubuntu just being for noobs is usually the perception of noobs [03:12] JihadJoe: someone who knows the tricks like the one i just gave CppIsWeird? :P power users use all the tools, even the ones normal users dont know are there [03:12] disappearedng_: no swearing [03:12] ZykoticK9: when i right click on it, it says "The permission of disk could not be determined" in the permission tab [03:12] sebsebseb: I don't follow links given by strangers [03:12] powerusers like to be lazy sometimes... [03:12] seems like "power user" is discouraged in ubuntu...so much BS you have to remove and reconfigure it's not worth it [03:12] I read that i the Ubuntu wiki [03:13] never visit untrusted sites from untrusted users [03:13] ok [03:13] the differences between distros is superficial [03:13] rhinoserious: again, just because graphical tools exist, doesnt mean you ahve to use them [03:13] rhinoserious: do you use wikipedia? [03:13] Kengine, you need to change the permission on the mount point (filesystem), not the device! [03:13] I generated an rsa key (with no password) to use on my server, when I try and SSH, it asks me for the user password of the user I'm SSHing into (remote machine, not local) [03:13] sebsebseb: no. I'm against Creative commons liscensing [03:13] rhinoserious: i rarely use a graphical package manager. dpkg, apt-get, apt-cache, aptitude... soo much more powerful! so i use those instead. that kpackagekit exists doesnt mean i have to use it [03:14] also, just because some uses graphical tools, doesn't mean they don't know tons [03:14] ZykoticK9: I just used that command you gave me cd /mnt && sudo chmod ugo+rwx sda1 [03:14] Help please! Lately my 1.5 Terabyte Scsi to USB hard drive has been mounting as "Read Only" here is the message from my dmesg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/369264/ [03:14] the difference between distro's is package management, repo's and default startup system imo [03:14] rhinoserious, you can still visit unsafe sites, you just have to prevent them from running scripts. Using a simple browser like links or dillo to scout things out and having noscript for firefox help tremendously [03:14] maco: I am starting to think they are a troll [03:14] is rhinoseriousa troll¿ [03:14] maco: so you think that being able to type 2 or 3 words into a terminal makes you a 'power user' [03:14] ? [03:14] Kengine, that probably won't work! it's probably NOT mounted to /mnt/sda1! [03:14] sebsebseb: not the sort of thing you say in the channel right in front of the person, now is it? [03:14] rhinoserious: is a troll [03:14] rhinoserious: 2 or 3? nah. hundreds, though? [03:15] BitWraith: or I could just run a malware free operating system like mac OS X [03:15] rhinoserious: or like ubuntu :P [03:15] rhinoserious: You come in here and bellyache about GUI config tools, tell someone you won't visit *distrowatch* because a "stranger" linked it (despite being in a channel full of strangers) ... are you stoned? stupid? trolling for kicks? [03:15] malware-free OS like OS X. Ha those days are coming to an end [03:15] rhinoserious: though really, you know the macs got pwned first in Pwn 2 Own, right? [03:15] rhinoserious: right, go ahead an keep your never changing Mac OSX, and pay your 1500 for a standard laptop [03:15] They already have trojans [03:15] ZykoticK9: so I need to mount it and change its permission everytime I boot ? [03:15] it's official, rhinoserious IS a troll if he can say wit ha straight face that mac os x is safer than linux [03:15] maco: that had nothing to do with malware. Please stop trolling [03:15] Can anyone help me install a tarball? [03:16] Let's stay on topic folks, please [03:16] and you know it [03:16] Kengine, no of course not - you just need to get it setup correctly [03:16] so power users dont use ubuntu? They use debian? [03:16] Nooneshere: what do you want to install¿ [03:16] apple just advocated having multiple antivirus apps installed on the same system for their users last year [03:16] ekim: no [03:16] BitWraith: so did Canonical [03:16] BitWraith: that doesn't apply to Ubuntu [03:16] Kengine, could you pastebin the output of the command "mount" [03:16] rhinoserious: or you can learn all these OSes if your simple mind can handle it [03:16] and Novell [03:16] MTecknology, no to which question or both?

[03:17] how to i change it so my menu has no icon, just text, like applications, places, system [03:17] etc [03:17] maco: OS X runs a variation of BSD [03:17] Kengine, fat32 doesn't have any permission [03:17] hi after using unetbootin to install an os onto my external usb hdd. will it work on multiple computers like ubuntu on a portable flash drive does. ???? [03:17] it comes with a terminal installed [03:17] rhinoserious: im aware [03:17] ZykoticK9: can I just use the whole drive as fat32 then instead of ext3, will there be any performance problems ?

[03:23] wasutton3: cat a >> b [03:24] truth hurts [03:24] how the fuck do we get op's in here? [03:24] Like this. [03:24] krysis: watch your language [03:24] oyaebuntu [03:24] krysis: language, and Amaranth is here now [03:24] MTecknology: fuck you, faggot [03:24] you need to stop [03:24] ubuntu is not cut out for power usage, case closed [03:24] rhinoserious: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:24] ZykoticK9: sweet that works, but how do I make my system auto-do it everytime [03:25] classic [03:25] Can someone help me download and install whatpulse? [03:25] Kengine, fstab [03:25] oyaebuntu [03:25] arghh2d2: if you have a legitimate question please ask it, otherwise you have no business in the tech support [03:25] ZykoticK9: so I just add that line to my fstab ? [03:26] Kengine, yes but do you want it mounting to /mnt/sda1? I'd create a different mount point (a directory somewhere on your filesystem) to mount it too each time (all up to you though) [03:26] Can anyone help me with mounting a 1.5 TB SATA hd? i use it as an external, it used to mount fine but lately its been mounting as read only: http://paste.ubuntu.com/369264/ [03:26] linux-image-2.6.26-2-amd64 12008180/20.9MB [03:26] what is that? [03:26] krysis: stop gunning after me...it's obvious you wanna get me kicked for telling the truth too...how many other users lurk and dont get kicked...i aint saying nothing, just responding to your ridiculous remark. :| [03:27] opticon: It's downloading an update for the kernel, the core software in the system [03:27] arghh2d2: Please stop. [03:27] Can someone help me download and install whatpulse? More just install. [03:27] apts pulling it in [03:27] On the Ubuntu one website I can see my files. Can anyone else download those files with any launchpad account? [03:27] ahh ok [03:27] krysis, i think you need to mount that in windows to correct the errors [03:27] FAT. Reformat to ext3. [03:27] Amaranth: i'm not the one [03:27] yeah, it mounts fine in windows ZykoticK9 but in ubuntu it doesnt work =( [03:28] arghh2d2: If you stop talking about it the discussion will stop. [03:28] ardchoille: if you put them in a shared folder, yeah, but otherwise no [03:28] ZykoticK9: just tell me, now if I change that hard drive to 250gig:FAT32 and 250gig:ext3, can I add the same command in fstab and it will work fine ? (commnad is cd /media && sudo chmod ugo+rwx disk) [03:28] krysis, ? don't know then, thought after you mounted in windows it would work in ubuntu - guess not. [03:28] I'm guessing no one can help a newb like me? [03:28] maco: Ah, ok, thanks. good to know [03:28] what is a good Linux program for UML diagramming? [03:28] symptom: i use dia for diagramming in general, but umbrello is supposed to be nice if you just need UML [03:29] what is the proper way to start compiz under ubuntu? compiz --replace & seems odd when already in a window manager. [03:29] acalbaza: thats teh point of the --replace ;) [03:29] Nooneshere: to install whatpulse download this file to your desktop: http://whatpulse.org/downloads/16/ [03:29] thanks maco [03:29] Kengine, it depends on what Ubuntu decides to automount the drives at (i can't say for sure) - you can use the "mount" command to find out where the ext3 filesystem is being mounted, then you need to run the chmod command against the mount point. does that make sense? [03:29] acalbaza: you can also get the fusion-icon and be able to switch wm's from a panel applet [03:29] Hello, can anyone tell me how to boot multiple live cd from one usb? [03:29] acalbaza: or you can use system -> preferences -> appearances -> desktop effects to turn it on [03:29] Krysis, i have the tarball, what do i do now? (I have the permission.sh thingy done) [03:29] cafuego: lots of options! [03:30] Using Ubuntu 9.10. got a "/boot partition almost full" warning. What's the best way to clean old kernel images out of partition and grub menu? [03:30] maco: for some reason, i thought it was less efficient to start it that way. [03:30] Nooneshere: where is your file located? [03:30] extracted file [03:30] acalbaza: theyll all quit the old wm and replace with compiz [03:30] ZykoticK9: /dev/sdb1 on /media/disk type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal) [03:30] Krysis, do i have to extract with console? If not in my home. [03:31] Kengine, so /media/disk is the mount point [03:31] Nooneshere: no, you can extract via nautilus, just open the tar.gz then drag the file inside to your home, then open a terminal and do "chmod +x WhatPulse" [03:31] i've screwed up my GVFS stuff trying to get iPhone working on ubuntu [03:31] ZykoticK9: so I add this for automount in fstab ? cd /media/disk && sudo chmod ugo+rwx disk [03:31] any advice? [03:32] Kengine, no the fstab line is different! [03:32] Krysis Okay. now what? [03:32] where are themes stored (in karmic)? [03:32] hi [03:32] hello???

[03:32] i installed ubuntu 9.10 to my box and it gives me grub rescue...what should i do..??i dont have any live cd to recovery it [03:33] ZykoticK9: in order to automount and make it read-write enable what is the line I need to add to fstab ?

[03:33] I need to know if some one know how to get world of warcarfat to work on ubuntu 8.04 [03:33] ah i see, like a keylogger... [03:34] Kengine, the fstab line will look like "/dev/sdb1 /mnt/sda1 ext3 errors=remount-ro 0 1" --- the chmod you only need to do once and it's all good from then on! [03:34] Guest83047: with wine [03:34] okay I installed wine but it dose not work [03:34] Kengine: /dev/yourdevice /media/disk defualts 0 0 <--might be enough but i dont know what your mounting [03:34] Play on Linux [03:35] arghh2d2, wouldn't /media/disk have to exist as a directory for that to work? and isn't that where the automounter tries to mount everything [03:35] soreau: it worked now ! syntax in the "intel man" is wrong ! .... xrandr --set mode PAL , "mode" instead of "TV_FORMAT" like discribed in the man ... thanx so far :) [03:35] krysis, thank you very much. This has help me alot. :) [03:36] Your welcome Nooneshere, just don't use that for something malicious :/ [03:36] maco: options for what? [03:36] ZykoticK9: I just added this line end of my fstab [03:36] /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sda1 ext3 errors=remount-ro 0 1 [03:36] ZykoticK9: i'm basing that on Kengine's previous statement [03:36] cafuego: what what? [03:37] Kengine, if it's currently mount "sudo umount /mnt/sda1" and then try "sudo mount -a" and see if it works [03:37] ZykoticK9: now I am gonna do that other statement cd /media/disk && sudo chmod ugo+rwx disk [03:37] So my problem still persists, my 1.5 SATA to USB Terabyte mounts as Read-Only with this error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/369264/ It mounts fine in Windows, does anyone have ANY idea?

[04:17] hi everyone, i'm having an issue where only 1 AP is showing up, i tried 2 different wifi adapaters, ubuntu 9.10, i have a different laptop whcih detects and uses both APs fine, the ubuntu machine only shows 1 AP though, any ideas?

[04:20] Vadimanri: install "xgl-server" and log out, log back in, and see how that works [04:20] anon__, They are similar. Unix was created by AT&T, Linux was created by Linux Torvalds [04:20] krysis : problem [04:20] oh..ok [04:20] linux was the free version of Unix then [04:20] Is there any way i can just use some part of the x-chat to simply script on it? like: when someone say "a" on channel "b" do "c" [04:20] anon__: Unix and Linux are in a way similar as Linux is built from the idea of Unix by Linuz Trovalds, but they both have free distributions [04:20] like the old mirc with the remote [04:20] nirmal: is this the problem you have? [04:21] oh..o [04:21] k [04:21] sorry about that, it's a desktop i cannot get closer to the AP [04:21] the desktop used to run win7, and it worked fine with both APs, so i dontthink it's a signal issue === keith_ is now known as kbuel [04:21] krysis:http://paste.ubuntu.com/369295/ [04:22] nirmal: to me it seems like some sort of conflict with PHP, do you have it configured right? [04:22] vraa: does: sudo iwlist scan show the AP? [04:22] Vadimanri: do this in terminal: "sudo apt-get install xgl-server" [04:22] aiwa: Probably not. mirc scripting is the bane of programming. Please forget everything you learned from it. [04:23] woops wrong channel [04:23] so what was the major changes to the new kernel update I just downloaded today through update manager?

[04:31] mezquitale: umm a new router is not an option, is there any work around? [04:31] rahduke: a bug is a bug is a bug.. what effects them might not effect you.. card type, computer etc.. initial reporter said by using aes instead of tpk? fixed his issue.. [04:31] actionParsnip, yeah, they are in the command [04:31] nirmal: remove t1lib from the list and try again [04:31] i tried my other wifi adapter and it shows the same upstairs AP, but not the downstairs AP, and the same problem exists, i can connect to the upstairs AP but it doesn't give an IP or anything [04:31] Anyone know how to get a cli ftp client to connect to a non standard port?

[04:32] rahduke: have you tried changing the type of wireless security? [04:32] quentusrex: e.g. ftp ftp.debian.com 3452 [04:32] Is there a GarageBand-like app for linux (a program with a buttload of music loops built in to it that you can arrange to make a song)? === root_ is now known as Guest16298 [04:32] not sure if thats an option for him [04:33] guys? [04:33] well, good luck with it. if you get it figured out let me know how it comes out [04:33] rahduke: then a different wireless card [04:33] this is rediculous [04:33] scunizi, sorry, well i'm using that to verify that the wifi does indeed work [04:33] ok [04:33] so is speeling eh [04:33] if it all went well nirmal try again what you tried [04:33] i am using ifconfig and iwconfig, it says "access point: not-associated" [04:33] ;) [04:33] heh [04:33] scunizi: its an onboard wireless n, its one of them zotac ion mobos [04:34] vraa: that may be the case on widows.. however if the mfgr isn't overly cooporative with drivers then "it's new wireless card time"! [04:34] does ubuntu have any issues with changing the motherboard/processor? [04:34] scunizi: budget is out of funds for this project [04:34] rahduke: can it be disabled and use an external usb? [04:34] i have tried 2 diff wireless adapters, they do show the upstairs AP SSID, but i can't connect to it [04:34] xzcvczx: should be fine [04:34] i just installed 9.10 :) i am trying to update it lol so i can get my nvidia card working [04:34] rahduke: keep searching for a solution then.. there might be one out there. [04:34] i wish i had a long long ethernet cable :) [04:34] actionParsnip: cool, thanks [04:35] xzcvczx: if you are using onboard vga you may have to default the xorg.conf if you have used it [04:35] So, using 9.10, what should I expect my memory footprint to look like? Right now I'm using 2.2GB with Pidgin and Xchat open, which seems a bit high [04:35] will wep work scunizi? it works on the box i built for myself [04:35] same mobo [04:35] actionParsnip: not currently and will be using the same graphics card in the new machine [04:35] krysis: It restarted in low graphics mode [04:35] rahduke: also the next release 10.04 will have a different kernel and better wireless support.. as for wep you might as well not have any security [04:35] If I have to run a gtk application as "sudo gns3" how do I keep the theme the same as my current user rather than the basic gtk theme? [04:35] xzcvczx: then just change it and youo'll be fine [04:35] !sudo | urthmover [04:35] urthmover: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root").

[04:36] urthmover: move your themes/icons to> /usr/share/themes /urr/share/icons [04:36] Vadimanri: do you know how to go into safe mode? [04:36] is there an opensource search engine? --something like google. [04:36] safe boot* [04:36] everytime showing same error [04:36] from grub [04:36] nirmal try restarting the program ? [04:37] bradley_: to websearch? or search for other stuff [04:37] Is anyone else getting crazy lag? [04:37] actionParsnip: even when I run it as gksudo it does not use the dark theme of my regular gtk apps.....how can I change the root user's gtk theme? [04:37] krysis: yes, but should I just reactivate the ubuntu nvidia driver? [04:37] bradley_: i dont think google is opensource [04:37] last 2 days i m facing this problem [04:37] bradley_, why the question? [04:37] actionParsnip, yes websearch [04:37] rahduke: only so much can be done with wireless depending on the chipset.. most are *very* closed source and have to be reverse engineered.. not ubuntu's solution alot but the manufacturer.. [04:37] lots of time i restarted the system [04:37] you can do sudo apt-get remove nvidia-glx-96 and reboot [04:37] edbian: not on this side. [04:38] sudo gns3 [04:38] urthmover: you can use gksudo gnome-appearance-properties may work [04:38] actionParsnip, oh, google isn't. i am looking for something like google but opensource [04:38] actionParsnip: ok I'll try that thanks [04:38] im sorry nirmal... did zend work on ubuntu before fine? what changes did you make since it worked? [04:38] bradley_: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_search_engines#Open_source_search_engines [04:39] ouyes, i think it would be nice to search using an opensource engine [04:39] zend is working fine.. [04:39] normal application run fine [04:39] no problem with that.. [04:40] I'm having a problem with firestarter: I set up a policy to open port 8002 to everyone, but it still shows up as blocked in 'events' tab.. why can that be? [04:40] only problem with when i make any zend application [04:40] actionParsnip, thanks for the suggestion but i don't think that they are webpages --maybe just engines [04:40] * semitones is watching The IT Crowd [04:41] actionParsnip, oh, i was wrong. thanks for the link === dabossbv1 is now known as dabossbv [04:42] have you actually made a complete zend application without that error before?

[04:55] thanks nano [04:55] david__: err, that's cinelerra. :) and, actionParsnip gave you more options ;) [04:56] nanotube i have been hearing alot about myth tv going around is it something like youtube or is it something else [04:56] toastedmilk: run: apt-cache search linux-image install one before 2.6.31-17. may have a bug with the -17 kernel [04:56] dreki: right click file, properties, 'open with' tab.

[04:57] david__: mythtv is a TV framework for Linux - Instructions for using with Ubuntu at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV - For discussion and specific support, try #ubuntu-mythtv [04:58] OneMillionDollar: you can set them as static in network manager etc [04:58] actionParsnip: that jeeves guy, always ready to go, eh? :) [04:58] bastid_raZor: thank you. now I need to learn how to save my settings as I haven't been using the defaults. can u tell me that one as well? [04:58] so, I just nuked by /boot partition. Once I've downloaded the Live CD, what do I do next? [04:58] Vadimanri: boot into safe mode and do "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" [04:58] nanotube: he's my right hand man, i use many websearch engines. I dont just use google like most [04:58] how do i checksum any iso from terminal [04:58] ubottu i was trying to hook my television into my pc the other day with s-video an it is not working [04:58] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:58] meowbuntu: md5sum file.iso [04:58] krysis: I will be back [04:59] meowbuntu: use either md5sum, on sha1sum (or whatever sum you happen to have downloaded [04:59] ) [04:59] actionParsnip , I dont have a network manager [04:59] bradley_, what you mean by "i am a year to late", as you see search engine is complicated, it is not just a software。 but we can see its technologies through an open source search engine ( the database design,and the quality of the database is important,) also this is an offtopic here [04:59] OneMillionDollar: whatever app you use then [04:59] quietone: i don't think there is a save setting option for the panel. what you do to it is remembered. [04:59] nanotube, ????????? i am in the deroctory of the iso now what [05:00] meowbuntu: directory (sp) [05:00] well, run say, "md5sum filenameofthe.iso" [05:00] meowbuntu: ^^ [05:00] bastid_raZor: apparantly not. the panel positions have reverted to the standard. And all my launchers are gone. [05:00] david__, MythTV won't help with an SVideo TV input, that's just video-in [05:00] nanotube: isnt that what i said? [05:00] meowbuntu: then after some time you'll get output the checksum - and you can compare it with the checksum provided on the download site [05:01] quietone: correct. that is what the command was supposed to do. reset your panels to defaults [05:01] actionParsnip: er... ah, yes there it is. :) [05:01] scunizi: u still here? [05:01] actionParsnip , I click on network setting but there's really nothing there to set it [05:01] krysis :php -r 'phpinfo();' | grep extension [05:01] extension_dir => /usr/lib/php5/20060613+lfs => /usr/lib/php5/20060613+lfs [05:01] OneMillionDollar: what app do you use? [05:01] emes, are you there? [05:01] meowbuntu: or if you want to compare 'automatically', then download the md5sum file, and run 'md5sum -c md5sumfilename' [05:01] nanotube: now thati didnt know [05:01] has emes gone? [05:02] actionParsnip , I'm not using any app [05:02] actionParsnip: yea it's good for those cases when you don't want to manually compare. :) [05:02] In Karmic, how do you solve the "Backend /usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-pdf" does not exist problem? cups-pdf does not work "out of the box". [05:02] actionParsnip: or when you want to do it in a script [05:02] OneMillionDollar: so you use the interfaces file then? [05:03] nanotube: yeah was gonna do that man, add it to my many scripts [05:03] nirmal: as far as i can see this is a dependency problem... and as far as my knowledge or lack of knowledge with zend i cant really help you... i would try and find if every dependancy required by your program is met [05:04] CaneToad: install cups-pdf [05:04] actionParsnip: that is done [05:04] how to set a static dns server ip ?

[05:08] emghazal: i think empathy only supports the irc protocol i dont think it supports commands, for that u can use xchat [05:08] rahduke: turn security off completely and try.. if it works you can always use the router and turn off SSID broadcast and limit access by mac address.. it's certainly not fool proof and won't stop a serious cracker.,. but it's better than nothing.

[06:14] theadmin: So, what is your current resolution? [06:14] theadmin: if your card is worth more than $5 it supports at least 1280x1024. [06:14] scunizi: He is having ATI series card [06:14] rumpsy: Sec... 1280x800, doesn't get higher then that [06:15] rumpsy: ah.. might be on the list of unsupported cards for Xorg 1.7+ [06:15] airtonix , why can't i change the dns ip ? the old isp dns ip keep coming back [06:15] theadmin: lol [06:15] scunizi: Yes, may be lol [06:15] OneMillionDollar, i assume you are being asked for authentication (gksudo password) when you make the changes via nm-applet (network manager panel applet) ? [06:15] airtonix , i mean the isp dns keep coming back even if i set it to other dns ip [06:15] theadmin: 1280x800 is this a laptop? if so that's the rez on lots of them [06:15] airtonix OneMillion want to set a static DNS, but gets the ip address DHCP... and is not using 9.10 [06:16] scunizi: Yep it is [06:16] OneMillionDollar, ok so you're not using the networkManager on the panel ? [06:16] Damn o_O a broken package, where'd that come from? [06:16] theadmin: that's all I get out of my laptop.. seems to work fine for me anyway [06:16] theadmin: so you don't want more resolution, This is the best resolution for laptops [06:16] airtonix , i think i'm using it [06:17] Can anyone help me get my new HP dvd1170 external drive to play? I'm getting frustrated [06:17] anyone here got a good understanding of lvm? [06:17] In a shell script, how do I know where it is located, regardless of where it was executed from? To make the question more clear: in a shell script "bar.sh" that contains "pwd" , I want both "foo/bar.sh" and "cd foo; ./bar.sh" to have the same output [06:17] OneMillionDollar, What i mean is that how you are trying to apply the desired DNS ip ? (via the system tray network icon) [06:17] is there a place to go for "tech support"? [06:17] how do I run ./autogen.sh? [06:17] iflema: airtonix OneMillionDollar I have that issue in kubuntu.. haven't tried in ubuntu.. but after booting and getting a dhcp address I use networkmanager to switch to static and give it a sec to sync.. works.. but not through a reboot. [06:17] bigg6987: Either here or the forums [06:18] bigg6987: what is your goal? [06:18] or is that just a mac thing? [06:18] ima: ? [06:18] rumpsy: to be able to get past my authorizations problem [06:18] rumpsy, autogen.sh [06:18] ima: To execute a shell script, "chmod +x filename.sh && ./filename.sh" [06:18] rumpsy: i don't have authorization to do anything, apparently [06:19] emghazal, generally you can self referemce in a shell script with $0 [06:19] ima: make it as executable, using this command, chmod +x [06:19] OneMillionDollar, one thing i can think of is that if the settings are not persisting through reboots, then I would check that you being asked for admin password after applying the new settings, if not then i assume its only temprorary for your current session [06:19] theadmin, rumpsy ahh thanks [06:19] bigg6987: so you are a normal user, what version of ubuntu you are running? [06:19] 9.04 [06:19] I want install additional software pls tell guide to me because I'm new user for ubuntu [06:20] bigg6987: who installed that version? [06:20] meh, give me a bad interpreter [06:20] start the software center or buy a book [06:20] natarajan, start 'synaptic package manager' [06:20] OneMillionDollar, your other option to set a dns ip would involve using the command line to directly manipulate ifconfig and/or /etc/network/interfaces [06:20] i downloaded it and installed it myself [06:20] natarajan: what package do you want? [06:20] natarajan: man aptitude [06:20] How can I pipe the output of inxi to channel? /exec -o inxi -x ?? [06:20] OneMillionDollar, however the latter option may or may not be supported by your version of ubuntu (depends on which one you are running ) [06:21] scunizi just set the ip settings to static within the DHCP server range..... but this can cause problems depeding on ya setup(s) this is accommodated for just fine in recent versions of Ubuntu. [06:21] does anyone out there know how to get an ipod touch to connect to ubuntu as anything other than a camera? [06:21] bigg6987: which application is asking you for auth? [06:21] rumpsy: found out about the problem trying to update [06:21] OneMillionDollar, but to do anything detailed, you'll need to confirm exactly how you are trying to set the dns ip and what kind of responses the system is giving you [06:21] hey if I have 2 computers at home, should I keep one set of public and private key and distribute it to both? [06:22] rumpsy, bad interpreter whenever I try [06:22] bigg6987: try it now, while it asks for password, give your system pass [06:22] ima: what is that actually? [06:22] I'm having the packages in my desktop [06:22] rumpsy, bullet physics library [06:22] how to i install that packages [06:22] natarajan: what is that package about?

[06:23] rumpsy, hmm nah, just doing what it tells me to, there's very little documentation at all [06:24] natarajan, hence you need to be fairly detailed and exact when you describe you situation if you want reliable assistance [06:24] i click on the network icon change the dns ip there but it has no effect the isp dns ip still coming back [06:24] ima: open a terminal, goto that location, use this, sh auto*.sh [06:24] OneMillionDollar, so it doens't ask you for the admin password when you make the changes ? [06:24] it does [06:24] bigg6987: you are not a sudo user ! [06:25] rumpsy: i'd be glad to correct that, please tell me how?!?!?!?! [06:25] OneMillionDollar, have you at any point previous to this attempt with the network icon tried to set the dns via the command line ?

[06:58] crazyubuntu: login [06:59] wasabi, its understandable since the api for the language and services notify-osd relies on has virtually no documentation [06:59] that's long enough for someone to start something [06:59] crazyubuntu arghhh.... confirm state of HDD and RAM... test em [06:59] oh i see [06:59] i didn't realize that part [06:59] theadmin, is this what you are trying to achieve ? http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/clean-up-ubuntu-grub-boot-menu-after-upgrades/ [06:59] alright time for a restart. good chatin' guys [06:59] did the mem test [06:59] and no errors [06:59] crazyubuntu it could be anything... what have you done....? what changed before things went bad?

[07:01] theadmin, i think the general idea is similar to my initial suggestion : that you use purge isntead of remove when removing those old kernels [07:01] nope [07:01] theadmin: You can also just manually remove them from grub if they annoy you.

[07:29] Devrethman, there is still openjdk-6-jre [07:29] airtonix, is this about saving to pen drive meowbuntu? [07:29] Once I get it working with that one, I'll try the open ones.

[07:43] NekoCodi: or you may be able tu use the wuibi installer not sure if any will work for windows iso but worth trying [07:43] meowbuntu, NekoCodi: unetbootin only supports Linux ISOs.

[07:45] rrw will that mount windows iso ????? [07:45] meowbuntu: I just said, no. [07:45] rww: don't have a usb stick, and I'm not sure the windows channel would be much help in attempting to install it from linux. [07:45] Devrethman, hmm.. I don't know, I save my settings into a file though, have no idea if that has anything to do with it, at least I don't have any problems here.

[07:47] crazyubuntu: ya, i'm back [07:47] ran make after running ./autogen.sh ... compiled a lot of stuff for a long time, would I need to run make install separately or is that taken care of for me? [07:47] it was running perfectly fine before that [07:48] crazyubuntu: any changes? [07:48] ima: generally, make does all the compiling, and then sudo make install puts the compiled files into the right place. [07:48] crazyubuntu what... for months?

[08:03] it says rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8) utility, e.g. service gdm stop.

[08:09] ?ops BluShift traitor [08:09] BluShift: well, it's true that you using xubuntu in a virtual machine might have an effect on the networking and it doesn't work as expected [08:10] Myrtti: Ok.

Incriminating evidence is over here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/369372 [08:10] crazyubuntu /var/log/dpkg.log.1 show further back in time.... [08:11] Myrtti: Or is it more complex, with editing your fstab, etc? [08:11] BluShift: basically the same as with normal mount, you use either with mount.cifs or mount -t cifs. You might need to have a look at the options, to make the write/read/group permissions to show up correctly, though [08:12] BluShift: you can put it to fstab, which would make it easier [08:12] could someone please help me with recompliling the kernel? i need to do it to set right this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/453963 [08:12] Myrtti: I've never mounted anything by the command line -- only ejected/unmounted. Any links to a good tutorial? [08:12] hmm, i'm trying to block everything except for outgoing traffic on port 80 tcp, ufw deny out to any, ufw allow out 80/tcp wouldn't that be all i'd need? [08:13] how can i run a website off the terminal ? [08:13] i only want the user to be able to use a web browser on port 80, so i figured if i block everything other than tcp traffic on port 80 itd be fine [08:13] warmachine: I have no idea what you mean. [08:13] warmachine: run a website? read: elinks http://readme.com/ [08:14] warmachine: or do you man host a website. [08:14] then you'd need to configure apache [08:14] or another httpd [08:14] Kalidarn, u should use a differnt port [08:14] if i go to the command line in ubuntu and wanted to bring up firefox or google.com how would i do that ? [08:14] BluShift: man mount.cifs is a good one, but http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/mounting.html is also a good read [08:14] hello i have a question which is the most simple and easiest way to remote control a friends computer if he has win xp or ubuntu ? [08:14] ae86-drifter_: what do you mean? i only want the user to be able to use port 80 traffic on tcp [08:14] is there any easy Application whit gui that i can use ? [08:14] Richiie, VNC [08:14] so i want to block everything else ae86-drifter_ [08:14] i am trying to install dell 1390 Wifi with ndiswrapper i get this error bcmwl5 : driver installed [08:15] or RDP [08:15] warmachine: you could type "firefox &" (without the quotes) [08:15] ae86-drifter_: how does it work ? and is it free to download ? [08:15] Richiie, its called UFW [08:15] !UFW [08:15] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist [08:16] ae86-drifter_: ufw deny out to any, ufw allow out 80/tcp wouldn't that be all i'd need? [08:16] Myrtti: I read the manpages for mount.cifs and found it to be of little help. I get the feeling it's a virtual system issue, rather than a sytax issue, so i'll try what I read on my Fedora laptop. Any idea if the syntax is the same? (aside from root permissions, of course) [08:16] ada yang dari indonesia/ [08:16] it tells me not protocol specified [08:16] Kalidarn: you run a local dns? else you'll need to allow 53:udp [08:16] Kalidarn, yeah [08:16] BluShift: http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html has more info for the options, if I remember right. and the beauty of using mount from command line is that it will be the same in Fedore. [08:16] yeah and 53. [08:16] sorry about that :P [08:16] !id | l4diqlombok [08:16] l4diqlombok: join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia [08:16] ae86-drifter_: so the thing is if both me and my friend disable our firewalls then it should be more easy to connect to him right ? [08:16] Eclipse is such a wierd program. When it's working, it's one of my favorite things ever, and when it is not, it makes me want to kick puppies. [08:17] or does he have to open port 22 so i can SSH to his computer ? [08:17] Myrtti: Great. I'll try it on my laptop to see if I can isolate the issue. Thanks very much for your help :D [08:17] Any big differences between ubuntu 64 bit and 32 bit? [08:17] ae86-drifter_: i've allowed 80 on http and 53 on udp but it still doesn't seem to work :( [08:17] Richiie: if he has ssh service running, then the port is already open on the computer. [08:17] Kalidarn, is it behind a router? [08:17] Richiie: If you can do portforwarding on the router instead of just turning the firewall off, that might make things easier. [08:17] it's a bridged virtual machine [08:17] http://pastebin.com/m2cb2bd4e [08:18] DNS is set to go to the two opendns servers [08:18] ^ I'm setting up ubuntu on a Virtual Machine, running off a 64bit host. Should I choose 64 or 32 bit ubuntu? [08:18] Kalidarn: if you really block all incoming, how should one get responses on 80-requests? [08:18] aurilliance: 64 [08:18] Kalidarn, can you ping its IP ? [08:18] or telnet into it? [08:18] is there a command line application for extracting data from *.desktop files and for executing them? [08:18] BluShift: I found some window driver on the ACER website but no idea how to install them [08:18] Kalidarn, thanks, performance benifits? [08:19] Myrtti: well the point is he dosent have an router just a cable tv modem :P [08:19] aurilliance: not noticable but it's best to do that. [08:19] kk [08:19] Ademan: .desktop is just a normal text file you can open and examine with a text editor [08:19] and every time i try to connect to him whit ssh i get connection refused by host : Port 22 [08:19] ae86-drifter_: nah can't ping anything obviously because that rule blocks incoming and outgoing icmp [08:19] Ademan: it's fairly readable so you don't really need any special apps for it [08:19] aurilliance: afaik u cant install 64 bit os on virtual box unless you set up hardware virtualization in your bios [08:19] Kalidarn, i mean from another PC on the internet [08:19] aurilliance: i tried it and it dint work, so had to use 32 bit ubuntu [08:19] titan_ark, really? :( [08:20] I'll give it a try and let you know :P [08:20] ae86-drifter_: sure this is only a virtual machine, running in bridged mode it's not a real computer. [08:20] Kalidarn, let me telnet into it [08:20] whats the IP? [08:20] Myrtti: yeah I mean I originally wrote a perl script to do it, but I can't imagine one doesn't already exist... [08:20] titan_ark, q: how much ram should I let it have? Host has 4GB, VirtualBox is recommending 384MB... [08:20] aurilliance: if your bios supports h/w virtualization it will surely work :) give it a try [08:20] ae86-drifter_: telnet is not allowed from the external router anyway lol [08:20] I wanna use it as a dev machine about 50% of the time [08:20] aurilliance: i gave it 1 gig, worked fine. [08:21] titan_ark, thanks for the pointers [08:21] :P [08:21] Ademan: as I said, it's so simple file I'm surprised anyone even considers needing something for decrypting it [08:22] aurilliance: np :) quite a n00b myself. used ubuntu in VBox then wubi and finally dual boot to sort out all the problems. Virtualbox and wubi are both painful [08:22] aurilliance, give it 1GB [08:22] Myrtti: it's not a matter of "decrypting" it's a matter of retrieving data from them reliably and programmatically... [08:22] Helllloooooooowwwwww........... [08:22] titan_ark, noob here too, I've had dual boot loads of times in the past, but that gave me headaches, so I'm trying Virtual :P lol, exact opposite [08:22] ae86-drifter_ thanks [08:23] Any can give solution for problem like this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=429497 [08:23] _wwwwooooorlllld [08:23] hi, I'm a noob, Is it possible to run apache as instead of www?

[08:32] Slart how can i do this? [08:32] xHunterx. Isn't there a #hackintosh on EFnet or something? [08:32] Why do ubuntu people hate debian so much [08:32] ae86-drifter_: we don't? [08:32] noren, i think you misunderstand maybe , you know how when you highlight some text, you can then paste it somewhere else by middle clicking in the desired destination ?

[08:33] numen: man bash, then type /redirection hit [08:33] havent looked, actually thought about doing it today, but I like openbsd so much why bother...

[08:38] noren, yep im just researching some options [08:38] Myrtti, i think it was file not found or something [08:38] Myrtti, so windows 7 just likes to kill linux partitions for no real reason..

[08:44] ae86-drifter_: there's a fair chance that gparted shows the partitions a bit wonky though. [08:44] Myrtti, i checked fdisk , and it always showed the same [08:44] llutz, do i need to install smbfs if i already installed samba? [08:45] JoeSomebody: yes.

I supposed you already investigated installing it and found it to large for your desires [08:51] chasen what? [08:51] ouyes: floodspam, ignore it [08:51] ziroday: Thanks, NetHogs is exatly what I'm looking for. [08:51] however, it didn't help :< I guess my internet is just being slow.

[08:52] werner_: also visti postfix.org, it has a real good documentation-part [08:52] Myrtti, ah, ah ... maybe we should redesign the client and the server to filter waste messages [08:53] noren, no doubt there is a way to get espeak by itself monitoring the text buffer and have it speak the contents when it changes [08:53] plitter: you can download the pdf for freethere. it's pretty neat. there's all about ubuntu there [08:53] aiwa: oooh i actually have that book [08:53] thanx for your assistance llutz [08:54] I've attempted to install Ubuntu Server AMD64 on a machine several times now, but all that happens when it reboots is show "GRUB" in the corner... I just did a default install, nothing special, any idea what could be wrong? [08:54] airtonix: what is the name of the package is it gnome-orca [08:54] plitter: there's all about terminals there [08:54] noren, although orca would require lots of tuning since it is very very verbose in what it speaks [08:54] !find orca [08:54] Found: gnome-orca [08:55] dsample, check your bootloader may be elsewhere, i had same problem [08:55] !find time [08:55] Found: cracklib-runtime, default-jre, default-jre-headless, erlang-runtime-tools, gcj-4.4-jre (and 177 others) [08:55] airtonix: if i cud use espeak with orca then it wont be a problem [08:55] werner_: elsewhere? [08:55] noren, verbose as in i have firefox in focus, and pressing left alt causes orca to speak out " left alt" >< [08:55] yeah, you have more than one HDD in your box?

The server has 3 SATA HDDs, wondering if it's something to do with that [08:57] hi does ubuntu have a built in partition manager or do i need to install gparted [08:58] meowbuntu: it doesn't have a graphical by default, if I remember right [08:58] yes, the bootloader is on one of the other HDD's, try booting up with another HDD as your primary then [08:58] Myrtti: You remember right :) [08:59] dsample: so this is a physical machine then, not virtual? [08:59] Myrtti, what is "disk utility" ???? [08:59] airtonix: thnkx for the help now i will try and get this orca to work for me if possible.... i also found some addon on firfox but they are in experimental stage and dont know why they dont work on my system [08:59] im trying to ping my home server but all i get is this: Request timeout for icmp_seq 0 does that mean that the server have no contact.. or are ports blocked?

It used to be ESC but it changed with karmic. this is karmic? [09:00] i assumed the same, but, check your other drives, i had the same problem 2weeks ago, and everytime i reinstalled it did the same, then i discovered it was on the other HDD that was in SATA1 [09:00] ardchoille, i thought it has a partition feature i want to know if its any good for that [09:00] meowbuntu: I don't see a partition feature in disk utility [09:01] ard i do [09:01] dsample: personally I would consider using Hardy LTS for servers, unless the newer versions have something specific you'd need [09:01] meowbuntu: Oh, ok, if y0u click on a partition [09:01] aiwa: thats for changing the menu.lst which grub2 doesnt have [09:01] meowbuntu: But I know gparted works wonders [09:01] Myrtti: cloud :o) [09:01] noren, https://launchpad.net/~rainct/+archive/voice [09:02] dsample: you could try the recovery mode or use a live desktop disc to see if the partitions are detected there.

[09:05] how i can downlaod videos from youtube pls help me!! [09:05] full disk encryption! [09:06] even swap! [09:06] ardchoille, yea i wonder y gparted does not come as default [09:06] youcef: watch the video, and before you close the tab go to /tmp and copy the FLASH* video to where you want [09:06] Why would you want an encrypted swap partition? [09:06] in windows IDM do it [09:06] ardchoille, youcef: or install youtube-dl [09:06] the whole disk is encrypted because data can leak into swapfile and be potentially visible. [09:06] where i find the /tmp? [09:07] Myrtti: Good idea, but can't justify installing an app when nautilus can do it without the app [09:07] Somebody needs to write an X app that allows you to punch other apps in the face. [09:07] ardchoille: if you don't have flash installed, but want to use vlc, you can download the stuff and so on [09:07] ardchoille: also, using it to download to a remote machine [09:07] Myrtti: Ah, good point [09:08] if your laptop is ever stolen or an adversary tries to get into your system they cannot. [09:08] ardchoille where i found the /tmp? [09:08] Like, just some widget or something that turns your mouse into a fist and distorts apps when you jam it into them. [09:08] youcef: it's /tmp in your file system [09:08] galactus, potentially how would someone read the data in swap [09:08] youcef: you might want to install the app that Myrtti suggested [09:08] please suggest some good wallpaper setting program [09:09] fbsetbg doesn't work nicely [09:09] they would use a program like dd to make an image of your hard drive.

[09:10] xHunterx: not exactly a formatting software... [09:10] Devrethman: fluxbox and openbox [09:10] oh, sorry. [09:10] noren, nice [09:10] sorry, bootable usb iso creation software [09:10] how can I use the start-stop-daemon so if a program I'm starting quits with a specific exitcode then it will autostart [09:10] ?

[09:11] i have tried many flavors of linux since the nineties and this is finally the windoze breaker for me! [09:11] lekefly: difficult to know. [09:11] papul: doesn't fluxbox come with a terminal command called fbsetroot or setroot that changes it? [09:11] have a great one folks! [09:11] Myrtti: but probably the ports.. ? [09:12] Devrethman: i think its fbsetbg [09:12] i want other options [09:12] Devrethman: either fbsetroot or xsetroot, both work great [09:12] lekefly: well, if the server is down, the ports are definitely too [09:12] Or that could be the problem.. going to call my ips you see :p [09:12] how do i recover an (unallocated) partition?? [09:12] papul: yeah, i'm not sure, it's been awhile since I used it. What do you need that it doesn't have? [09:12] i know its not down.. just downloading at full speed.. but i guess i should at least get contact.. Myrtti [09:13] honestly though, for math application, freeware, what does Ubuntu have that runs well that could be effetive for a project in which I would have to capture live audio and analyze [09:13] Maple [09:13] werner_: I tried booting from all 3 drives, no good, the one I was trying to boot is the first SATA drive anyway, so I can't see why that doesn't work. I guess I could try booting to a restore shell and install grub onto the drive manually [09:13] maple? [09:13] Myrtti: the ping would just be slow right? [09:14] xHunterx, yeah its a really good math application [09:14] ok thnx [09:14] lekefly: possibly... [09:14] Thanks!

[10:06] meowbuntu, you got any idea's to why my key pairs won't work?

The ath5k module loads okay, but the OS isn't detecting the interface. Suggestions? [10:16] sicome ho scaricato un film ed formato iso come devo fare? [10:17] CarlFK, did you logout of gnome and login back? [10:17] denis123, check systems->administration->hardware drivers there should be a propritary driver for ati ready for you to install.. [10:17] denis123: repo? The automatically installed one via System>Administration>Hardware Drivers does not work with my dual screens [10:17] does Karma Koala support awn? [10:17] !it | Morpheus [10:17] Morpheus: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [10:17] nigel_nb: there isnt a stable one. need to add daily update and i dont want that trouble [10:17] carlos24cm, did you logout of gnome and login back? [10:17] mrpink57, im new to this...my manager wants me to bind the address for mysql to the ip address that its all installed on rather than localhost address [10:17] abo: sure [10:17] hi all. I can't remove gnome-panel from xffce desktop. Killing it does not work either, it just comes right back. . . [10:17] denis123, :( works just fine with my dual screens on a laptop :] [10:17] titan_ark, then you have to package on your own or wait till lucid [10:17] mrpink57, what about ntfs i know linux and mac can mount them can mount that [10:17] de9ine: yes. But that did not work. I have Radeon HD 4870 [10:17] erUSUL, sudo apt-get install awn? [10:17] Jimi_Neutral: to be honest its beyond me a little and can not give honest advice past that. [10:17] scusate non cio fatto caso :) che era in inglese [10:17] denis123: i have DLed the installer file from the mozilla site but cant seem to install it after extracting [10:18] !awn | abo [10:18] abo: Avant Window Navigator is a dock-like navigation bar for the Linux desktop that positions itself at the bottom of the screen. Homepage http://wiki.awn-project.org/ - Awn-Manager can be found in Universe from Hardy (8.04) onwards. [10:18] de9ine: dunno why. I tried it four times [10:18] mrpink57, roger, ty anyway :O) [10:18] hi there everyone [10:18] Jimi_Neutral: just comment out the "Listen" line "# Listen 127.0.0.1" [10:18] Jimi_Neutral: then it listens on ALL available addresses [10:18] ciao e grazie ;) [10:18] Morpheus: ;) [10:18] llutz, hey bud, hope you are well.....where is that line? the my.cnf file doesnt seem to have anything in it [10:19] nigel_nb: i have DLed the installer file from the mozilla site but cant seem to install it after extracting [10:19] Jimi_Neutral: you should have.... [10:19] titan_ark, hold on. Lemme check out [10:19] whomever has the .run file you need to cd to it in your terminal then chmod + x the file then /path/to/file.run hit enter [10:19] nigel_nb: thx a bunch [10:19] llutz nope nothing [10:20] Jimi_Neutral: argh, "bind-adress" it is [10:20] llutz, sorry? lol [10:20] hello everyone. I have a pc of 2gb Ram, Cpu: q9550, nvidia 7800gtx,1 sata hd(root/home),1sata DVDRW,1 Ide HD. When i tranfer files from a partition to another/a hd to another or to a usb stick, i face very very slow transfer rate and the system becomes unusable because of cpu usage. What is happening? I am trying a long time to fix that (switched through diferent kernels) but with no result. I am on kubuntu 9,10 64bit. PLZ help me! [10:20] llutz, it already seems to be bound to the localhost [10:20] titan_ark, what file did you download? a tar? [10:20] Jimi_Neutral: "# bind-address 127.0.0.1 " will bind it to ALL addresse [10:21] titan_ark, what do you find after you extract it? [10:21] nigel_nb: its a tar.bz2 [10:21] I have a script file called myscript which i put in /usr/local/bin, but I cannot execute it globally. What am I missing? [10:21] llutz, i want to bind it to a specific address [10:21] Jimi_Neutral: "bind-address 1.2.3.4 " [10:21] nigel_nb: the readme has no info on how to install just the thunderbird website link [10:21] Diverdude, /usr/bin [10:21] Diverdude: chmod +x ? permissions ? [10:21] nigel_nb: cant do a ./configure [10:22] titan_ark, is there a ./configure? [10:22] no, there isnt. thats what i meant [10:22] titan_ark, check for something called thunderbird or soemthing [10:22] nigel_nb, Yes I did log out of gnome, the problem is on another pc [10:22] titan_ark: did you have the .run file? [10:22] i am new to linux. pardon me [10:22] carlos24cm, thats how mozilla gives it. You can directly run it [10:23] Jimi_Neutral: sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart && sudo lsof -i :3306 [10:23] erUSUL, chmod 557 ? [10:23] llutz, ok done that, how do i restart mysql cause the line im given in this tut doesnt work [10:23] llutz, ty lol [10:23] carlos24cm, can you check if you have a new .gconf and .gconf_old? [10:23] Diverdude: 755 [10:23] titan_ark, thats how mozilla gives it. You can directly run it [10:24] erUSUL, that script should be placed in /usr/local/bin or /usr/bin? [10:24] Hello everyone. I love ubuntu but I'm painfully new to it. Anyone feel like answering a couple questions I have? [10:24] erUSUL, ahhh yes...almost correct :) thx [10:24] nigel_nb: local bin is a better place [10:24] !ask [10:24] 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. :-) [10:24] mouse, i would like to [10:24] nigel_nb: mrpink57: i can see a thunderbird and run-mozilla shell script [10:24] erUSUL, ah :) [10:24] titan_ark, run thunderbird script [10:25] titan_ark, that should open up thunderbird interface. I doubt if installation is needed [10:25] llutz, when i run cat /etc/mysql/my.cnf | grep bind-address it is still coming up wtih bind-address = 127.0.0.1 [10:25] titan_ark: oh one of those things, yeah. open thunderbird and run it from the extensions area [10:25] Jimi_Neutral: changed the wrong file? didn't saved it after editting? [10:25] thunderbird does not do an auto install you have to give it a path from the extensions area within thunderbird [10:26] Thank you. How do I find out how big a program is and how do I find out how much free/used/total harddrive space I have? Also what is this swap partition on my harddrive ubuntu created? [10:26] mrpink57, nigel_nb: yes it now asks me to set up my account [10:26] mouse: 1) du [10:26] 2) df [10:26] is it possible to do network install to my network, without using a flashdrive or cd [10:26] titan_ark, :) [10:26] *netbook [10:26] but thats weird. i cant install and run it from menu! === pbx is now known as hetii [10:26] 3) swapon -s [10:26] mouse: df [10:27] I have a problem with my mouse, everytime I go to move a titlebar of a window... I keep missing it and getting the window behind it, as if the point of the mouse is higher than the point itself [10:27] titan_ark, you need to redirect the menu to the right path now [10:27] nigel_nb: oh! [10:27] titan_ark, mozilla's tar files does not install. It executes the program from that folder itself [10:27] nigel_nb, the .gconf new is always wrong [10:27] nigel_nb: thats bad :P :D [10:28] I'm sorry. What is du and df? Is that the terminal command? [10:28] titan_ark, one way easier [10:28] mouse: yes. [10:28] mouse: yes [10:28] May I ask what it stands for? [10:28] nigel_nb: ? [10:28] carlos24cm, well, any changes you make in gconf editor is done to gconf folder. Once you rename it, a new one should be created for you without errors [10:28] titan_ark, it works in all distros without complaints [10:28] mouse: just type either du will show directy space and df will show disk usage [10:29] titan_ark, mozilla doesn't have to pack .deb, .rpm or whatever [10:29] titan_ark, not easier for us, for them ;) [10:29] mouse: not really sure its just the command, kind like top and htop show processes [10:29] nigel_nb: ah okay, got it [10:29] :D [10:29] du is disk usage and df is defined filesystem I think [10:30] <[BT]Brendan> I'm trying to download alien arena with wget but all the links are those stupid redirect ones and it just downloads the html file [10:30] mouse if you have that many commands you want to know I can give you links so you can read on command line interface or linux commands [10:30] carlos24cm, so can you confirm that the old one called .gconf_old and a new .gconf folder is in your home directory? [10:30] hey mouse, you said you were kind of new; do you know about man pages? [10:30] nigel_nb, however, the changes in gconf-editor i did in OEM installatio [10:30] nigel_nb: its sad that the latest update is not available as a repo. they added FF though [10:30] <[BT]Brendan> So how can I download through these links with the command line? [10:30] ATI graphics card and 4GB - Ram problem - can anyone help? [10:31] [BT]Brendan: wget [10:31] I see. Thank you. That should be very useful. Especially since the software center doesn't show how much space a program will take up before you install it. Yes I would like to see the command list please and no I do not know about man pages. What is it? [10:31] grack: that is not kinda new that is real new... lol [10:31] llutz, changed the my.cnf file and saved it [10:31] titan_ark, I donno how they work. but rest assured. The repos will never be updated that way. Only the next version of ubuntu will be updated with new version [10:31] titan_ark, i.e., you cant get TB3 in hardy from repos [10:31] <[BT]Brendan> mrpink57, I am using wget [10:31] nigel_nb: yeah, that is what i got to know when i googled [10:31] is there a problem with lock screen? === segin|kvirc is now known as segin [10:32] nigel_nb, the new gconf folder and the old gconf folder are in my home directory [10:32] llutz, just gone back into the my.cnf file and it still says 'bind-address 1.2.3.4 [10:32] X doesn't start when 4 GB are installed because video memory of graphics card is calculated wrong [10:32] Jimi_Neutral: "grep bind-address /etc/mysql/my.cnf" [10:32] [BT]Brendan: check the man page for proper syntax on downloading [10:32] <[BT]Brendan> Is there some fancy command I have to do with it to make it work? [10:32] carlos24cm, you made the changes in gconf from OEM install, then I'm sorry, but I dont think I'll be able to help :( [10:32] mouse: here is one to start with quick reference http://www.unixguide.net/linux/linuxshortcuts.shtml [10:32] [BT]Brendan: in your terminal do man wget and read about it some more [10:33] carlos24cm, my suggestion would be to create a new gconf on another computer and copy the entire folder there. That might work [10:33] llutz, comes back with "bind-address = 127.0.0.1 [10:33] Jimi_Neutral: "sudo nano /etc/mysql/my.cnf" [10:33] hello everyone. I have a pc of 2gb Ram, Cpu: q9550, nvidia 7800gtx,1 sata hd(root/home),1sata DVDRW,1 Ide HD. When i tranfer files from a partition to another/a hd to another or to a usb stick, i face very very slow transfer rate and the system becomes unusable because of cpu usage. What is happening? I am trying a long time to fix that (switched through diferent kernels) but with no result. I am on kubuntu 9,10 64bit. PLZ help me! [10:33] <[BT]Brendan> Ug, theres a few months of reading and trying work out how to use it [10:34] llutz, nothing in there, so looks like it was the wrong file [10:34] Hey, how i can uninstall namoroka and use only firefox 3.62? [10:34] mouse: here is another website to start with just to get an idea... [10:34] Jimi_Neutral: always edit files with full path [10:34] llutz, rgr rgr [10:34] mouse: http://www.linuxrsp.ru/win-lin-soft/table-eng.html#5 [10:34] Assurbanipal, every time you copy to USB same thing happens? [10:35] yes [10:35] zilkomaa, purge it, then remove the mozillateam ppa [10:35] llutz, ok restarted and its come back with 127 again [10:35] Assurbanipal: there was recentlyish a bug fix regarding slow transfers to USB sticks. The problem was with the elevator algorithm, using cfq instead of nop on USB sticks. I'm not sure if it isn't supposed to be fixed already on 9.10. [10:35] llutz, i dont have much luck do i [10:35] even if i transfer from one partition to another [10:35] or specify the version you want [10:35] Jimi_Neutral: what does "grep bind-address /etc/mysql/my.cnf" give back now? [10:35] alankila: so what does this meen?can i fix it somehow? === korokos is now known as Guest37266 [10:35] nigel_nb, don't worry, you're helping a lot, now I try to copy the gconf folder [10:36] what's wrong with Namoroka? maybe we could just fix that instead of switching? === OkropNick^ is now known as OkropNick [10:36] llutz, 127 still [10:36] llutz, i have just gone back into conf and it says 10.20 but when i run grep it says 127 [10:37] Jimi_Neutral: impossible if you did "sudo nano /etc/mysql/my.cnf" changed and SAVED it [10:37] hello [10:37] Thank you very much. This should all come in handy. I do have one more question since I'm here. I know technically they're now the enemy but what is the best wine-like program to run windows programs? I'm happy to make the switch, I'm just not ready to go cold turkey. Know what I mean? [10:37] Where I can get a program with a makefile for test make command? [10:38] my image viewer is unable to open images with tiff extention.wat can i do?? [10:38] llutz, must have tpyed it wrong, typed it again and i got loadso f instruction in there now [10:38] sorry about my english [10:38] llutz, trying agin [10:38] ovg, on sourceforge try any one [10:38] llutz, where would i write it [10:38] #abuse [10:38] mouse: playonlinux maybe the way you to go because your new... ;) [10:38] thx because i had an exam today and one question was about [10:38] ovg, tiff is a restricted format, you need to have restricted extras installed [10:39] ovg, ok ill give you one small source file [10:39] Jimi_Neutral: look for the 127.0.0.1, change that line or add one below [10:39] Hi. How do we use rsync from behind a proxy? Is it by setting RSYNC_PROXY? [10:39] if you download a program and it is compiled [10:39] how to install [10:39] I have playonlinux but it always asks for the disk. That can be problematic. [10:39] a) make install [10:39] b) ./install [10:39] ovg, yes [10:39] i choosed ./install [10:39] ovg, you go into the folder and follow the readme [10:39] ./configure [10:40] because though if it was compiled it have an installation file [10:40] ovg, so always follow readme for compile [10:40] !compile [10:40] Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [10:40] !compile > ovg [10:40] ovg, please see my private message [10:40] llutz, done, ty for your help and infinate patience [10:40] Jimi_Neutral: i'm paid to sit here, so no problem :) [10:40] Hi. How do we use rsync from behind a proxy? Is it by setting RSYNC_PROXY? [10:41] llutz, :O) [10:41] is there any straightforward way of finding out what binaries are added when installing a package with apt-get? [10:41] mouse: If we are going to discuss this private message me... [10:41] llutz, rebooted this morning....guess what, no internet lol [10:41] Jimi_Neutral: odd box you have [10:41] llutz yes indeed [10:42] llutz: I'm jealous. [10:42] ok i read [10:42] then i answer bad [10:42] i have choosen b) [10:42] Am I right? [10:43] which is the biggest ubuntu-forum (maybe in german) [10:43] i dont like its suggest to search for prebuilts first, I think compiling is a great learning tool. [10:43] need a restart brb [10:44] nigel_nb, nothing [10:44] i have 2 intel x64 CPUs, is it ok intsalling amd64 system/app on it, or it's only for AMD? [10:44] *installing [10:44] Keller: intel too [10:44] im getting a message from update manager every time I try to download the updates: [10:44] The upgrade needs a total of 15.7M free space on disk '/boot'. Please free at least an additional 3,077k of disk space on '/boot'. Empty your trash and remove temporary packages of former installations using 'sudo apt-get clean'. [10:44] llutz, thanks [10:45] how do you mount usb from command? my usb will not automount. it will sometimes but not allways. [10:45] teage: mount /dev/sdb /media/mount [10:45] mrpink57:thanx [10:45] teage: change /dev to proper location [10:45] mrpink57, then if i have compiled the source, ./install does not work [10:45] isn it? [10:45] carlos24cm, even after a re-login? [10:45] how do i recover an (unallocated) partition?? [10:46] ae86-drifter1, there are some programs to recover partition table [10:46] nigel_nb, a moment [10:46] ovg: you should read the README's on all files they do not all use the same sequence or command but usually its ./configure make make install [10:47] mrpink:what do you mean change /dev to proper location.? [10:47] my netbook has a functional touchpad, ubuntu lets me use it. however "xinput list" does not mention anything regarding "touchpad" or "synaptics"... and i have no touchpad tab in system > preferences > mouse... how does one get that tab to appear in my situation ? [10:47] teage: well my hard drive is /dev/sda1 but your hard drive might be /dev/sda2 you need that info [10:47] ok thx [10:47] ic === tremmons is now known as iflema [10:48] hey guys, someone brought this up yesterday, but does anyone have trouble with audio playing games? i believe it's pulse's fault, but not sure,, if i play glest or savage2, i get glitchy sound for about 20 seconds or so, then it turns into mashed up static. [10:48] The upgrade needs a total of 15.7M free space on disk '/boot'. Please free at least an additional 3,077k of disk space on '/boot'. Empty your trash and remove temporary packages of former installations using 'sudo apt-get clean'. I've emptied my trash, preformed that command and have more than 6 GB of free space in my filesystem and it still isnt working. [10:48] NET||abuse, tried prefixing the game command with padspl ? [10:48] turddumpling: have you removed the old versions of the kernel? [10:48] if im doing an rsync from a certain folder(which contains loads of sub folders) can i somehow exclude certain folders? [10:48] talented: Ty [10:49] NET||abuse, sorry not padspl, correct word to use is : padsp [10:49] teage: i havent had to mount a flsh in a long time but in command do fdisk -l [10:49] Myrtti: how do you do that? [10:49] Assurbanipal: well, you could test from /sys/block/xxx/queue/elevator to see what queueing algorithm is used by the device in question. If it's not "noop" then the bug is there. [10:49] teage: may need to sudo it [10:49] Anyone know how to disable a mouse button that triggers the XF86Search key automatically? [10:49] NET||abuse, it functions like aoss does (but for pulseaudio) [10:50] airtonix, searching for it now, [10:50] zilkomaa, what was wrong with Namoroka? [10:50] mrpink57: it shows as sdc1 [10:50] NET||abuse, it should be installed by default [10:50] alankila: i would say that this looks like greek to me,but the fact that i am greek wouldn't deliver the correct message...I don;t understand what u ask me to do [10:50] Assurbanipal: also the file is called "scheduler", not "elevator". [10:50] hi, all i am using exaile to play music, but it can not play ape music,how to get a support for ape?? [10:50] airtonix, trying to run with alt+f2 i type in padsp and teamspeak comes up [10:50] mrpink: when i try to mount it, says cant ffind it [10:51] teage: so make sure you have a directory for it to go into can do mkdir /media/usb then do sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /media/usb [10:51] airtonix, is it in sound & video programs menu in ubuntu menu? [10:51] nigel_nb, nothing [10:51] turddumpling: first check which kernel version you are using now in terminal with uname -r, then open up synaptic, and uninstall linux-image- that do *not* match the output of the first command [10:51] Assurbanipal: well, perhaps it's better off just to live with the problem then. [10:51] airtonix, is it in sound & video programs menu in ubuntu menu? I have PA device chooser and PA volume control. [10:51] ouyes, do you have the ape codec installed? [10:51] carlos24cm, sorry then.. I'm not sure how to fix it :( [10:52] NET||abuse, you prefix your usual commands with it. [10:52] airtonix, which commands? [10:52] Sadarax, the movie player can play the ape, but the exaile can not [10:52] NET||abuse, are you running your game from the menu ? [10:52] alankila: if i install 2.6.33-rc6 would it help [10:52] Sadarax, i do not know if i have installed the ape codec [10:52] airtonix, yeh [10:52] Assurbanipal: if you can't validate the scheduler in use at /sys/block, I bet you can't install the kernel either. [10:53] airtonix, ahhh you mean prefix the launch game command with padsp.. right! [10:53] hi there, I'm struggling with getting any iso10646 misc-fixed bitmap fonts on my karmic install. Anyone got any ideas? I've installed and re-installed both xfonts-75dpi and xfonts-100dpi, and still /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc has only iso8859 files in it. [10:53] Hey there... I'm having a bit of a problem trying to install a new desktop theme using Emerald, no matter what I do it doens't seem as if it wants to load, i've tried sudoing it,i've tried running the emerald theme manager, i've tried command line : emerald --reload, and restarting...anyone else have any ideas? [10:53] NET||abuse, ok to try out padsp you 'll need to copy the cli commands used to run your game; open up alacarte, (system > preferences > main menu) [10:53] alankila: the kernel is available in deb files at kernel.ubuntu.com.... [10:53] Assurbanipal: I can't recommend that course of action. [10:54] anyone got logitech g25 working [10:54] ouyes, are you use exaile supports ape? Google results might say otherwise [10:54] NET||abuse, find the entry that is your game and select it then on the far right of the window, select properties [10:54] ouyes, i meant: do you know if exaile supports ape? [10:54] GodEater: have you updated the font cache? [10:54] nigel_nb don't worry and thanks of all [10:54] Sadarax, i do not know [10:54] NET||abuse, highlight the text in the command field and copy it [10:55] mrpink57: by running fc-cache -fv? [10:55] GodEater: yes [10:55] mrpink57: then yes [10:55] NET||abuse, then open a terminal, and paste it [10:55] several times [10:55] airtonix, i've never been able to edit the command in a menu item without running the big menu editor or copying the launcher to the desktop. [10:55] NET||abuse, before you run it , press home key and type "padsp " [10:55] GodEater: did you save you were looking in /usr/share/fonts? [10:55] should any of the files in /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc have ISO10646 in their names? Similar to the way the ISO8859 ones do? [10:55] NET||abuse, do you have the menu editor open ? [10:56] alankila: /sys/block/sda/queue -> the content of the file scheduler is: noop anticipatory deadline [cfq] [10:56] GodEater: I am going to check my folder hold on [10:56] alankila: is this what u asked me to do? [10:56] mrpink57: thanks [10:56] Assurbanipal: if SDA is your USB disk, then that scheduler probably ought to be noop. If it is not, then you need to find the device representing the USB disk. [10:56] airtonix, just did it anyway, for glest and for savage2 [10:56] how do i search for a filename containing "mex" in part of it's filename in current folder and all subfolders? [10:56] alankila: how i do that? [10:56] airtonix, will see if it helps now. [10:57] GodEater: mine goes like this /usr/share/fonts/ then each font has a folder there is not X11 folder [10:57] mrpink57: curious =/ [10:57] Assurbanipal: the command mount shows which device is mapped as what [10:57] i guys I'm trying to make a bootable usb disk from an iso image with usb-creator-gtk but when i chose my iso image i have the following error: isoinfo: Unable to find Joliet SVD! what does it means and what should I do? thank u [10:57] GodEater: well I am not using ubuntu I am on Arch Linux but fonts are not going to be that far off [10:57] NET||abuse, the idea was to test it on the command line instead of editing the menu items, if it doesnt work you're going to have to edit them again [10:57] mrpink57: I have in /usr/share/fonts three subdirs, truetype, type1 and X11 [10:58] how do i search for a filename containing "mex" in part of it's filename in current folder and all subfolders? [10:58] ouyes: I'm not sure what to tell you. Their documentation is not very clear on the subject. [10:58] NET||abuse, padsp might or might not solve your problem. [10:58] GodEater: also if its local they can be install to ~/.fonts/ [10:58] Good morning, guys! [10:58] silly question but how can i tell what port mysql is running on a ubuntu server? [10:58] airtonix, didn't really fix the sounds unfortunately in either game, they're still crackly as heck. [10:58] alankila: ok this is the content of file scheduler for my usb drive: noop anticipatory deadline [cfq] [10:58] Diverdude: find . -name '*mex*' ? [10:58] GodEater: are you just install them thru synaptic or compiling? [10:58] ouyes: It looks like they may have added the feature but google can't find anything of use on it. Do you have gstreamers installed? I notice exaile suggests those. [10:59] mrpink57: I really want them system wide, and they were installed via aptitude [10:59] NET||abuse, if it doesn't the next thing to try would be to open the pusleaudio volume control from the menu while the game is running [10:59] Assurbanipal: okay. Well, that indicates the "cfq" bug is there. [10:59] alankila: what is a cfq bug?? [10:59] Sadarax, i think i installed because i can play ape by mplayer [10:59] NET||abuse, sorry wrong app (thought it was same as the one from the sound icon in the system tray), open the audio icon from system tray > preferences [11:00] airtonix, sure, ok, [11:00] GodEater: you can try to locate to see were it went by doing locate [11:00] GodEater: or [11:00] NET||abuse, then applications tab, hopefully you'll see your game listed in there with its own volume bar [11:00] Assurbanipal: it causes the loss of speed when copying to USB devices. I do not know much more about it, though. [11:00] airtonix, yeh it does. [11:00] The CFQ is an appropriate way to place data on spinning media disks, but suboptimal for flash. [11:00] NET||abuse, my assumption this time is that the volume bar is at 100% ? [11:00] how do i make a pause in the terminal if the output is to long, so that i can have time to look at it? [11:00] alankila: the same content is in scheduler file of all mounted drives [11:01] airtonix, trying to figure out how t glest into windowed mode also, it's forcing itself to fullscreen. [11:01] Diverdude, use less [11:01] Assurbanipal: you can try to do "echo noop > scheduler" as root to see if that will help for USB devices. [11:01] Diverdude, so run your command $/ mycommand | less [11:01] NET||abuse, is the volume bar at 100% when you opened the tab ? [11:01] yeh it is [11:01] alankila: the problem as i said is not only on usb devices.it is on all data transfer === eaglewatch is now known as EagleWatch [11:01] so try reducing maybe will loose the distortion. [11:02] NET||abuse, then move it down, maybe the crackling is because there is too much signal from the game going into pulseaudio [11:02] airtonix, will be hard for fullscreen games though. [11:02] NET||abuse, why ? [11:02] Assurbanipal: there's another bug which kernel folks are working on regarding some kind of writeout throttling issue... load on one device affects performance of all devices. I don't know if that has been fixed yet, though. [11:02] ouyes: mplayer might be using something else. Unfortunately, I do not have much experience with ape. I haven't used it in years. [11:02] airtonix, can't alt-tab outa them [11:02] NET||abuse, some are different, you can always try changing workspaces (ctrl + alt + arrow keys ) [11:02] mrpink57: according to synaptic they definitely get installed into the dir I already mentioned [11:03] airtonix, yeh, that didn't work either. [11:03] GodEater: but there is nothing there? [11:03] airtonix, weird stuff. [11:03] NET||abuse, not really [11:03] mrpink57: yes there's loads there, but not the iso10646 fonts that I'm lead to believe the package supports [11:03] Sadarax, OK thanks anyway, maybe i need anther music player [11:03] and xfontsel shows no iso10646 encodings in the misc family [11:04] airtonix, eve online and WoW (if i could be bothered) are other ones i'll have to do this way [11:04] NET||abuse, your next task is to research glest and find out about its config files [11:04] airtonix, on that already. [11:04] is there a way to define that my apt-get installs dont add GUI/X11 related recommends? [11:04] NET||abuse, are you running eve with a explicit virtual desktop command (via explorer) ? [11:05] hello [11:05] airtonix, yeh, i've sorted eve out in windowed mode so it's all good. [11:05] airtonix, did all that research. [11:06] Could someone please tell me why a high number of ip table entries is a bad thing? [11:06] NET||abuse, i dont knpow anything about glest so i wont be able to give you some ideas there [11:06] airtonix, hmm, ok, so got glest in windowed mode (i think i'll test in this as it's lighter than savage or eve) [11:06] GodEater: I am not really sure to be honest at this point, a google search tells me its some sort of character type language like a Chinese or Japanese? [11:06] hi ! Doesn't "apt-get purge" delete config files ? === angus is now known as Casper3 [11:06] IP-v6, it is supposed to [11:06] airtonix, but i get sound for a split second then it cracks and dies, the audio volume for glest saves in pulse volume properties between runs, so it's down at 60% [11:06] mrpink57: no - it's what UTF-8 encoding is implemented in in bitmap fonts [11:07] airtonix, but still no audio coming through now. [11:07] how can i set the notify messages for kalendar to other language (german) ? [11:07] airtonix, I used purge but it didn't remove chromium config files [11:07] IP-v6, because they are in your home folder yes ? [11:08] airtonix, yes [11:08] IP-v6, im no expert on apt, but i think that might be something to do with it (or google are just bad at deb packaging) [11:09] airtonix, thanks [11:09] Hi, .. i've got a problem with my squid proxy .. dont know whats wrong know because i just change some values for caching .. [11:09] airtonix, after reinstalling chromium doesn't start so i deleted files by myself [11:10] GodEater: I will assume the program you are using that needs these fonts is not working? I was curious as to maybe the fonts are withing another folder or named differently [11:10] well after all, is see now when i'm doing /etc/init.d/squid status "pid file doese not exists" [11:10] hey, I've got a slight problem while doing my software update today. The system is stalled at "Running postinst hook script /usr/sbin/updfate-grub". I guess it's waiting for some sort ogf user interaction.. anny ideas? [11:10] altough squid is running [11:10] Hi all, when i run gst-launch command with -e, and send EOS with ctrl+c combination, the device to which camera is connected changes from one /dev/videox to /dev/videoy, any idea why it happens so? and how to avoid this? [11:10] mrpink57: I want the fonts availale in xterm is all. xterm does work without them, but it's character set is incomplete. [11:11] hey if I wanted to kill all of one process what would i use in the term to get this done killall_name idk [11:11] kuuh, i've updated without any problem karmic amd64 [11:12] GodEater: and your bascially trying to setup *-*-font etc etc -iso10646? [11:12] hi with unetbotin how can i boot from a ext3 fs. i can boot from a fat32 fs [11:12] IP-v6, yeah but I didn't ;) [11:12] mrpink57: pretty much. xlsfonts shows no iso10646 fonts for misc though [11:13] my netbook has a functional touchpad, ubuntu lets me use it. however "xinput list" does not mention anything regarding "touchpad" or "synaptics"... and i have no touchpad tab in system > preferences > mouse... how does one get that tab to appear in my situation ? [11:13] GodEater: in arch I use xfonsel see if that works [11:13] IP-v6, the basic question is, can i just kill the updater and run the script manually, or will that just worsen everything :) [11:13] mrpink57: I've tried that too - same issue [11:13] GodEater: also I had something similar happen to me when isntalling profont that it did not show up right away I remember a restart or two === root is now known as Guest13527 [11:14] kuuh, i did it once time, it worked for me but ... : ) [11:14] mrpink57: rebooting a linux machine is an act of desperation. I don't want to the fonts that badly! [11:15] GodEater: I am in my xfontsel right now and I do in fact have 10646 in my rgstry [11:15] how i can change screen resolution in ubuntu 8.10 with kde 3.5.10 [11:15] mrpink57: for misc-fixed ? === aron__ is now known as aranwe [11:15] la [11:16] GodEater: yes, I chose the rgstry first then chose fndry then fmly [11:16] well, that's my issue :( [11:16] GodEater: I will say it's an ugly font lol, but I am sure it is function over form [11:16] nothing I'm doing is making that encoding available for misc-fixed [11:16] indeed :) [11:17] GodEater: I shut my machine off everynight since its a laptop so thats were a reboot comes in. desperate times call for desperate measures. Just think what Jack Bauer would do. [11:17] mrpink57: he'd probably shoot the machine in disgust =/ [11:18] GodEater: I am going to locate iso and see were mine is [11:19] Can I prevent files appearing in Places - Recent Documents? [11:20] I have mex installed which is a program to make pdf documents.... so when i in the terminal write mex, linux starts the pdflatex program. I, however need to use another program also called mex to compile matlab binary files...but even if i go to the folder containing the correct mex file, pdflatex is still executed when i write mex in the terminal....how can i change that? [11:20] GodEater: it is nowhere to be found.... [11:21] nvm, i can use ./mex i just remembered [11:21] :) [11:21] hello, i need some help installing my vpn server ppptd [11:21] how do i copy/paste in xterm? [11:21] mrpink57: right, so that means the files don't have the encoding in the name. Which means they're referenced from a fonts.alias file somewhere [11:21] im confused on what ip range i should use [11:21] someone?

[11:46] <_ruben> Milp: it decreases the performance [11:46] really [11:46] Milp: Who said it's a bad thing. It's not bad in and of itself. But it *may* mean your ruleset needs to be refined for efficiency. The speed at which processors run these days negates the impact of a large ruleset. But efficiency should always be strived for. [11:46] hmm _ruben is there any way to block ip adresses in masses without loosing tons of performance? [11:47] Milp log2 chains are not hard to do, I guess [11:47] <_ruben> Milp: use ipset in addition to iptables [11:47] rob_p: I have my ossec set to block any host that causes a security violation for 100 hours.

[12:03] Bored and noone is chatting in #gentoo [12:03] Where can i find the block lists of iptables? [12:03] and_? [12:04] And? [12:04] Milp: You can list the current rules loaded in the kernel with the iptables command. Ex: sudo iptables -L -nv [12:04] what? [12:04] so if you guys had to recommend a new linux app/util that you thing might be under the radar what would it be? [12:04] rob_p: no i need the files where the ips and such are listed so i can edit them [12:05] hello everyone [12:05] scopecreep, your topic is best discussed at #ubuntu-offtopic :) [12:05] There's an offtopic? [12:05] !ot [12:05] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [12:05] airtonix, eep sorry and thank you [12:06] scopecreep, you're welcome [12:06] Airtonix: thanks ill chat there [12:06] Im having issues with MySQL and AppAmor [12:06] my auto mounting power has gone from nautilus to pcmanfm :( [12:06] MySQL does not work until I disable AppAmor [12:06] theMAN, can you describe your issue in some greater detail for the channel please ? [12:07] aw please, where can i find the iptables blacklists? where are they located? [12:07] theMAN, one would assume you have configured other aspects of apparmor or mysql differently from default settings because every time i used mysql it has worked without problems related to apparmor === tekkno is now known as ttwhy [12:08] theMAN, although that isnt a conclusive statement, if you provide greater detail maybe someoine with greater experience with apparmor can get a better idea of how to help you [12:09] ho do i fix the sap partition [12:09] if it is giving me an error at the time of booting [12:09] suman, what is meant by sap ? [12:10] airtonix, srry that is sap [12:10] <_ruben> looks like a broken w [12:10] <_ruben> and o [12:10] how do i regsiter with this server? [12:10] * airtonix is confused [12:10] Milp: That could be anywhere. It could be a script that you write/edit, commands entered at the command line, etc. Maybe you are looking for the rules established by UFW? That would be in /etc/ufw. [12:10] swap [12:10] suman, ahh it makes sense now [12:11] rob_p whats ufw? [12:11] airtonix, srry that is swap [12:11] hi all [12:11] suman, first thing i would try is to reformat it using gparted while using a livecd [12:12] Milp: UFW = Uncomplicated Firewall, I guess. It's just an easier way to establish iptables rulesets. [12:12] suman, so that is 1) reboot machine with livecd isnerted 2) load gparted from menu 3) select swap partition on the machine 4) format it as a swap drive. [12:12] Milp: Included with later Ubuntu's as far as I know. [12:12] suman, however that is only my first guess [12:12] rob_p im using ossec, and i forgot where it locates the block lists [12:13] airtonix, reformatting will erase the current installation [12:13] suman, no it wont read exactly what i said. [12:13] Milp: I don't know ossec. Don't you have documentation? Is there a Website for it that has documentation? [12:13] suman, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=291043 [12:13] rob_p hmm i guess, but finding such information in a documentation usually takes hours, so i thought id ask here first, maybe someone knew [12:14] suman, you do have a live cd correct ? [12:14] suman in a terminal type sudo swapoff -a and the reformat the swap drive with gparted [12:14] ^^^ [12:14] I am purchasing a laptop...is it possible that configuration I purchse is not supported by ububntu [12:14] airtonix, thnx i give it a try. i do i have live cd [12:14] suman, iflema's idea sounds good [12:15] Milp: I just googled it. Looks like an IDS. Wish I knew about it but I don't so I can't help. [12:15] suman, as per this response : http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1702361&postcount=2 [12:15] thanks though rob_p :) [12:15] Milp: welcome, good luck. [12:16] Does ubuntu support intel i3, i5 processor [12:16] and DDR3 RAM [12:16] iflema, i am following what you have suggested [12:17] suman mkswap will also refomat ya swap... but youll need to know where it is [12:17] Does ubuntu support intel i3, i5 processor? [12:17] iflema, i will try that even once i install g parted [12:18] iflema, cn this be hardware issue if my keyboard type wwww.... and some time prevent booting [12:19] hello what is the best way to install php 5.3 on ubuntu 8.04 ? [12:19] rob_p turns out i was looking for the etc/hosts.deny file actually lol [12:19] suman if you no familiar itll be a good exercise, gparted will show you where yaswap is unmount it and reformat it.. [12:21] I ve installed compiz icon but it doesnt show up under system tools . Any suggestions [12:21] hi, where can I find some resource on how it is possible to run several processes simultaneously? I mean: How linux can allow several applications to run at once [12:21] ? [12:22] is there a software on ubuntu which allows me to connect my phone to the computer (via USB), and once connected, I can send SMS using the computer ? [12:22] what is the best way to install php 5.3 on ubuntu 8.04 ? [12:22] Lsdluna: its called tethering and it depends on your phone [12:23] Mamooli: apt-get [12:23] Or you can download the tarbell [12:23] Duskin: no it's not that simple [12:23] Tarbell? [12:23] mamooli, is it a newer version>? [12:24] Duskin, really i thought it was just called obex [12:24] indus: yes a revoloution [12:24] mamooli, use the file from the php site [12:24] lsdluna, does it have to be usb cable ? you don't have bluetooth ability ? [12:24] Is there a way to edit the boot/ grub menu?

[12:40] prodigel: rxvt = less ram and system resources.. identical feature set. [12:40] prodigel: on ubuntu AFAIR it uses some sys-wide predefined schemas === sleeping`dragon is now known as |404NotFound| [12:40] airtonix, i want to upload audio to youtube [12:40] prodigel: and proberly a dozen others taht have identical feature set and less resources [12:40] airtonix, preferebly with just one image [12:40] indus why... what is to be added? [12:40] prodigel: personally these days i use 'terminator' [12:40] fjordlord, ok did you know that youtube doesn't require a specific video format to upload ? [12:40] iflema, so I'm pretty much stuck with that? [12:40] iflema, so the menu entris are just like we had in menu.lst? [12:41] iflema, that name, title kernel initrd etc? [12:41] airtonix, no but cant upload mp3 directly === |404NotFound| is now known as error404notfound [12:41] iflema, also,where are the existing entries? [12:41] Dr_Willis, I like xterm because is universally available, and pretty cheap on resources. But if you say rxvt is even cheaper, i'll give it a try ;) [12:41] thanks in advance [12:41] airtonix, can i rename the mp3s to some other extension and upload? [12:41] fjordlord, for example this video i uploaded was of ogm format : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMQm9Lz7H8o [12:41] prodigel: xterm has a lot of 'features' that no one uses any more. I even forget what they were - textronics support or somthing like that [12:41] iflema, i didnt uunderstand this line # [12:41] 10_linux entries will appear before 30_os-prober entries, which will be placed before 40_custom entries, which will preceed my.custom.entries inputs. [12:42] iflema, if i understand, i will edit it and make it simpler [12:42] iflema, I just didn't want the vista recovery showing up in the grub menu.. Just the vista loader [12:42] fjordlord, ok try this : using vlc or gtkrecordmydesktop, have your image fullscreen and use a audio player to play the music ? [12:42] airtonix, ok so then i need a mp3 to ogm convert program [12:42] AceKing: i recall seeing some forum threads/wiki pages on tweaking grub to do that. [12:42] airtonix, didnt understand [12:43] indus /etc/grub.d [12:43] fjordlord, well you want to combine the image and the music ? vlc can record the soundcard output when it is recording the desktop [12:43] Dr_Willis, I will try searching to see what I can find.. Thanks [12:43] Aceking: all you would need to do is find the lines that point to the recovery and comment them out [12:43] iflema, yes i went to that folder and saw 40 custom [12:44] AceKing thats it i can tell you.. but you really need to understand for yourself.. [12:44] Dr_Willis, same Xdefaults for rxvt also? [12:44] airtonix, no i just want to put up a sound file with a photo like all other songs that are uploaded on youtube, how do they do? [12:44] Duskin, when I tried that it wouldn't let me save [12:44] iflema, thank you for helping [12:44] Aceking: open it in terminal using su [12:45] prodigel: check google for Xdefaults examples and editing. rxvt basically works the same way. Theres other newer terminal emulators taht proberly are just as light these days. [12:45] fjordlord, i assume they just create a video with the same image on all frames [12:45] iflema, i dont see an /etc/default/grub file either [12:45] Dr_Willis, will do. thanks for your answers [12:45] * Dr_Willis waits for someone to say 'i dont need a terminal emulator, i want somthing to replace gnome-terminal.....' [12:45] airtonix, thats what i want to do [12:45] indus what about /boot/grub/menu.lst [12:46] iflema, yes i have that, strange [12:46] Duskin, I tried that it still wouldn't save [12:46] indus... you luck edit as you please and restart [12:46] iflema, iam still using old grub ? but i do see the /etc/grub [12:46] Dr_Willis: hehe; why? [12:46] fjordlord, ill help you get started : 1) load up vlc 2) select : file > convert/save 3) tab : capture device 4) capture mode : desktop [12:46] you probably want /etc/grub.d/00_header for grub2 [12:46] ohir: had someone ask that the other day [12:46] what command would i give to see a list of all the pc names with ip address in a terminal?

But don't do it lol [12:56] *pasting [12:56] airtonix: thanks, the scriptable one just went over my head lol. The gnome phone manager - doesnt work with usb? [12:56] Glad my IRC client asks (are you sure you want to paste 1000 lines?) :) [12:56] Riverthief, yes ok [12:57] Dr_Willis: how do I set it up permanently (so I don't have to re-alias every time I open a shell) ? [12:57] Riverthief, should be an auto cap on [12:57] Good morning. My system has 12gb ram (verified in bios, etc.) I'm using Ubuntu (32, x86, i686) and it only shows 2.7GB memory. [12:57] Do the main repos have invalid kkeys? [12:57] *keys [12:57] lsdluna, it might do but how well or if at all depends on the level of support obex has for 1) your usb device on your computer 2) the usb device on the phone (not all usb connectsion in phones are the same ) [12:57] Do I need to use the Ubuntu amd64 version to fully utilize the extra memory, or what? [12:57] MindVirus, why? they dont but they do , please report them [12:57] 32-bit ubuntu, memetic? [12:57] memetic, yes if more than 4 gb its good [12:57] indus: They don't but they do? [12:57] StrongOrder right click on the channels in the channel tab / settings / hide join/part [12:57] memetic: you can either use PAE or go 64bit.. I would recommend the later [12:57] airtonix, didnt work with kinox [12:57] lsdluna, bluetooth enjoys a much more uniform level of implementation across phones [12:57] I don't suppose I can 'upgrade' to the 64-bit version, can I? [12:58] memetic: no [12:58] iflema, I love you! Thanks :) [12:58] memetic: nope.. you're looking at a reinstall [12:58] MindVirus, all people make mistakes but iam not sure how to generata a key for a repo [12:58] memetic: ify ou consider reinstall == upgrade [12:58] airtonix: ok cos I cant find my bluetooth dongle lol [12:58] fjordlord, you'll need to convert the flv to a dv format first (i think you can use vlc to do this ) [12:58] indus: I didn't make a mistake. [12:58] Should I not have at least 4gb available right now? [12:58] iflema, been looking for this one forever [12:58] MindVirus, no i meant the repo guys [12:58] Instead of 2.7? [12:58] lsdluna, >< really try to find it... when you do the whole process becomes easier [12:58] memetic: some of it is used for hardware mapping and other stuff [12:58] can someone help me stick a logging statement either in named.conf or named.conf.options? [12:58] Hmm. [12:58] indus: I am unable to reproduce consistent results. [12:58] StrongOrder its per channel not global [12:59] MindVirus, meaning? [12:59] memetic: usually you end up with something like 3 GB. [12:59] MindVirus: what is actually happening? [12:59] So cat /proc/meminfo and free -m report 2.7GB, and the other 1.3 is used for other stuff? [12:59] Oh. [12:59] Ok [12:59] Weeell. [12:59] memetic: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:59] memetic: but it differs depending on what hardware you have installed [12:59] If I reinstall, will I keep my data if I don't reformat? [12:59] jrib, indus: Looks like the server was just down. The key it said was "NO DATA". [12:59] Howdy [12:59] But it's fine now. [12:59] memetic: it's not used, but not addressable [12:59] MindVirus, ya ok then [12:59] hey, in ubutnu, in terminals, the histor seems to keep commands only once, at least when you press the up arrow, the same commad isn't shown multiple times [12:59] iflema, makes sense, I was looking for it in channel prefs [12:59] I misinterpreted the error message so I did make a mistake. :P [12:59] It's not the case in other distros [12:59] how deos that work ? [12:59] MindVirus, the key servers have been unusually busy last months [13:00] MindVirus, sometimes it wont even connect [13:00] indus: Which is what just happened, actually. [13:00] I mean, if I reinstall but don't reformat, will I keep /var/www, /home and /root intact? [13:00] memetic: I made the same mistake a while back. upgrading to 64-bit decreased my boot time from 11sec to 9sec. [13:00] Cazou: echo $HISTCONTROL [13:00] MindVirus, yes its been like this for a long long time, wonder who we should report this to [13:01] Probably Canonical. But I'm sure they know. [13:01] Cazou: man bash , see HISTCONTROL options [13:01] Cazou, not sure how but I think it's a handy feature in ubuntu [13:01] Here's the other big one, I use vmware. I understand I'd have to recompile, etc, but do you know if vmware server works OK on Ubuntu-AMD64? [13:01] memetic: I would suggest you backup your data.. I think it will still be there after a reinstall.. but I'm not sure and things might go wrong on the way.. backups are good [13:01] memetic: I'm not sure if you can reinstall Ubuntu without erasing the drive. You might be able to shrink your current partition, and install onto another partition. [13:01] My next question: Is there a safe way to kill another apt process? [13:01] Slart: I certainly will! [13:01] Hmm. [13:02] Yeah, I need to make sure I keep my /var/lib/Virtual Machines or whatever in tact. Heh. [13:02] Slart's suggestion sounds nice nonetheless [13:02] can someone help me please. i wana dual boot my windows 7 and linux. i see windows 7 in the grub boot menu but when i select it, it does nothing [13:03] And AMd64 ought to work on my dual xeon? [13:03] I had a RAIDz go bust on me, took ages to recover the data. Not pleasant stuff when drive stuff like that happens. [13:03] I guess I'll download the installer and give it a try. [13:03] memetic: hmm.. xeon.. try the live cd first.. not sure if you want AMD64 or X86_64 [13:03] memetic: which is the modem of your dual xeon? [13:03] IDLE for Python 3.1 crashes when I press ctrl-space (for auto-complete) with this error message: http://paste.ubuntu.com/369506/ , but IDLE for 2.6 works fine. Any idea why? [13:03] ie CPU model [13:04] What the hell? I have a process now on two computers that are saying the exact same thing: E: Unable to lock the download directory [13:04] Slart: is there an X86_64? [13:04] n00p: 26 [13:04] That's when running apt-get dist-upgrade (I never run standard upgrade)l [13:04] guys quick question [13:04] *upgrade). [13:04] Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5504 @ 2.00GHz [13:04] Any suggestions? [13:04] n00p: I think there is.. if you check the torrents and alternative stuff on the download page [13:04] MindVirus : are you logged as root ? === airtonix is now known as _skywalker [13:04] were are source programs installed in ubuntu, /usr or /usr/local ? [13:04] can someone help me please. i wana dual boot my windows 7 and linux. i see windows 7 in the grub boot menu but when i select it, it does nothing [13:04] deracles: Never, but the other apt process is running as root. [13:05] is there a single-player linux FPS? [13:05] I'm sure there's itanium 64 and AMD64. AMD64 is what you'd run on an x86-64. I'm sure of this because I couldn't find an x86 64 dist [13:05] Keller, quake 4 [13:05] <_skywalker> obiwan_, you mean programs you compile yourself ? [13:05] Keller, doom 3 [13:05] Keller, and all the original quakes [13:05] spekko: try grub-install /dev/yourdevice just in case something's messed. [13:05] you have to wait the end of the other apt process [13:05] Where is the AMD64 download? [13:05] indus, thanks a lot, will try it [13:05] Every id engine game has a linux binary [13:05] Oh, nevermind, I got it. [13:06] deracles: It is the same error message on two machines which makes me believe this is not going to be quick. [13:06] Also games made by epic [13:06] Keller, havent heard of quake ? [13:06] yeah _skywalker i'm tryin to install usbdemux which isn't in ubuntu repos, so i downloaded it. i'm not too experienced in compiling [13:06] when I bootup my computer, sometimes it locks up and never gets to the log in screen, where would I start checking for info? [13:06] Keller: look for unreal games also [13:06] n00p: hmm.. no.. didn't find a x86-64 version.. but I'm pretty sure I've seen one in the past [13:06] <_skywalker> obiwan_, have you tried finding them with the locate command yet ? [13:06] Keller, yes also unreal tournament older ones , new one still doesnt come with linux version [13:06] Sup [13:06] memetic: wait a second [13:06] indus, i have, but i thought there's only quake 4 for linux=) [13:06] spekko go back into ubuntu and in a terminal type sudo update-grub2 then reboot and try selecting win7 again [13:06] Duskin: ut 3 is not running with linux, also new id-games will not run with linux as well [13:06] Keller, and try 'prey' [13:06] Slart, n00p, thank you for your help. I'll create my rsync'd backups to my other systems and upgrade this puppy. [13:06] an apt process is running on the two machines ? [13:06] _skywalker: but locate is for local files [13:06] Keller, i play quake 4 multi allways [13:06] n00p, eh? I shouldn't download ubuntu-9.10-desktop-amd64.iso? [13:07] memetic: good luck [13:07] _skywalker: i didn an apt-cache search program and couldn't find it [13:07] In Ubuntu 9.10, what is the name of the program that manages network connections? Like, the one that puts the little "Signal" thing in the taskbar? [13:07] <_skywalker> obiwan_, yes this is true, it will find any file on your filesystem [13:07] Keller: you can also try quake live [13:07] Riverthief: nm-applet [13:07] Riverthief, network connections [13:07] _skywalker: i know where the file is, i just want to know where to compile the source i got [13:07] Duskin, what's it? [13:07] <_skywalker> obiwan_, that is because apt-cache search does not involve self compiled programs [13:07] Riverthief, under menu>system>prefs [13:07] What is the command to start it? [13:08] Riverthief, nm-applet [13:08] hi! How can I create an user and asign to it a folder? [13:08] Keller: it runs as a browser plugin. Quakelive.com [13:08] Hello [13:08] does anyone managed to make laptop TI card reader to work? [13:08] I installed wicd (For openbox), and now it won't run and I can't connect to the internet [13:08] im on Linux :D [13:08] ok yes memetic, I'm sure amd64 will work, but try the livecd too [13:08] I tried nm-applet [13:08] won't work [13:08] Duskin, Keller thats multiplayer [13:08] Duskin, wow, interesting [13:08] _skywalker: sure, that's why i'm trying to compile it, cause it isn't in repos, so i'm wondering if should i make install it at /usr or /usr/local [13:08] Riverthief, why wont wokr? [13:08] <_skywalker> obiwan_, mmm i think you're askign a different question here. is it really this : how do i find the dependancies of a program im compiling by binary name ? [13:08] manumar: You can make a new user with the gui tools or the 'adduser' command.. No idwa what you mean by assign it to a folder. [13:08] Tonyrockz: congrats [13:08] No idea :S [13:08] Riverthief, see the warning properly [13:08] the reason I'm sure it'll work is because the xeon 5500 appears to be based on core i7 which is x86-64. [13:09] Keller, do you play quake 4 online? try it, its great [13:09] <_skywalker> obiwan_, have you checked on ubuntu forums about the software (maybe someone already tried and documented something like this ) [13:09] indus, I don't like quake 4 [13:09] _skywalker: hmm maybe , what i want to know is, self compiled programs should be installed at /usr or /usr/local , but maybe that question is under the one you said [13:09] Keller, why? [13:09] Keller: there are more fps games you can run also [13:09] Any way to change the automatic updating time in Ubuntu? [13:09] Oh, the warning said something about network-manager-gnome, than something about installing another package [13:09] Keller, check out 'prey' also, recently released linux client [13:10] I'm having a problem with IDLE for Python 3.1, it crashes when I press ctrl-space. Can anyone else reproduce the problem? [13:10] Keller: I used to play counterstrike source on wine back on 8.04 and it ran perfectly [13:10] <_skywalker> obiwan_, no you're right my assumption of your question was not right... and to add more to your confusion i have heard of people saying /var/opt is a place to install self compiled programs (but why?) [13:10] just tried that iflema still cant boot to win 7 [13:10] _skywalker, i would say /opt [13:10] _skywalker: nope i didn't, but this isn't a question about the software, it's a generic question. whenever you download a tarball to install a program, where do you install it? /usr or /usr/local? [13:10] indus, i dunno why, but i like old-style games more [13:10] <_skywalker> obiwan_, in any case, any time i configure, make , make install, i just let it go where it wants [13:11] Keller, ok try the old quake then :) [13:11] yeah _skywalker i forgot about opt [13:11] Good afternoon. I'm having a recurring problem with sound getting stuck in a loop when either using a music app (Amarok) or watching flash vids on Firefox. This will be the 3rd time I've needed to reboot this week, so it's getting a bit tedious. I'm using Ibix, sound device: nVidia MCP61 HDA [13:11] _skywalker: actually it's supposed to be installed there [13:11] <_skywalker> obiwan_, i think there is a good reason for it but i can't remember why [13:11] google earth always goes into /opt [13:11] _skywalker: but everybody installs it at /usr or /usr/local but i'm not sure where, some distros use /usr and others use /usr/local [13:12] MindVirus System / Administration / Software Sources updates tab [13:12] How can I "place" a Live system (from a cutomized bootable CD/iso) onto a hdd to boot in non-persistent mode? Ideally, the filesystem would reside in ram, using the hdd as /boot and /swap. I can't find anything on how to do this this! [13:12] iflema: I want to change the time of the Daily updating setting. [13:12] * _skywalker gets tired of the force [13:12] * _skywalker airtonix === _skywalker is now known as airtonix [13:12] :0 [13:12] /usr is package manager land. package manager does not touch /usr/local and /opt, that's why stuff you compile goes there [13:12] Can anyone help, apart from upgrade to Jaunty (can't atm, it's a webdev box that I want to keep same release as production)? I seriously can't believe I need to be rebooting so often to solve sound issues! [13:13] MindVirus as in set the hour... [13:13] Hi! I'm having issues with Firestarter dropping all packets to Link Local adresses. Any ideas (wheret o get help)? [13:13] iflema: Yes.

[13:14] i have a problem. i can see windows 7 in my grub boot menu but i cant boot to it. what can i do? [13:14] spekko, open a terminal run sudo update-grub [13:14] MindVirus no idea.... one can do it manually when ever one wants = in a terminal sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [13:14] iflema: I know. [13:15] :ouyes i just tried that. iflema told me to do it but it wtill wont work [13:15] * iflema :) [13:15] still* [13:15] spekko, ok what version of ubuntu are you running? [13:15] 9.10 [13:15] im brand new to ubuntu :< [13:16] No one can help with repeated audio issues? [13:16] I have two computers. One is running Firefox, Thunderbird, PulseAudio, Transmission daemon, and a composited GNOME, while this one is running nothing save for Pidgin, Dropbox daemon, and the same composited GNOME. The first one is running at ~300MB memory usage. The other one is running at minimum 500MB. Why? [13:16] spekko, cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg [13:16] FunkyWeasel: "repeated audio issues" is vague, try being more specific [13:16] jrib: I'm having a recurring problem with sound getting stuck in a loop when either using a music app (Amarok) or watching flash vids on Firefox. This will be the 3rd time I've needed to reboot this week, so it's getting a bit tedious. I'm using Ibix, sound device: nVidia MCP61 HDA [13:16] spekko, can you see the windows 7 in the output? [13:16] yes i can [13:16] MindVirus: check with top? also see: http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ [13:17] spekko: provided that you're running grub2, you want to open what ouyes said like this: Alt+F2 "gksu gedit /boot/grub/grub.cfg" [13:17] FunkyWeasel, i take it you didnt separate your home directory to a separate partition prior to install your first ubuntu ? [13:17] FunkyWeasel: does it happen if you never use flash? [13:17] how do i check the version of grub [13:17] airtonix: Not unless the basic install does that, no. [13:17] Owner, what is wrong with the sudo ? [13:17] FunkyWeasel, really good step that allows you to bypass the dodgy 'dist-upgrade' stuff that might very well be the cause of your sound issues [13:17] spekko: ...and edit the entry for W7 there. what happens when you choose to boot W7? [13:17] airtonix: It's a clean install. [13:17] FunkyWeasel, its something you can do in the basic install [13:18] ouyes: nothing... didn't see you said that... [13:18] FunkyWeasel, you just mentioned that you upgraded to jaunty ? [13:18] nothing happens . but when i tried the last time it went into ubuntu for some odd reason :< [13:18] MindVirus write a script or a cron job [13:18] what do i need to edit? [13:18] airtonix: No. I can't upgrade at the moment. === aperson is now known as APERSON [13:18] hi [13:19] FunkyWeasel, ok so you;re still on your initial isntall of ubuntu ? [13:19] i need you help [13:19] jrib: I couldn't say, I work as a webdev, disabling flash would be a bit of a problem. [13:19] owner: nothing happens . but when i tried the last time it went into ubuntu for some odd reason :< [13:19] hey [13:19] CW [13:19] FunkyWeasel: I don't usually work while I troubleshoot [13:20] airtonix: Yup. [13:20] spekko: chances are you rewrote the w7 bootloader with ubuntu's (grub). do you have your w7 cd at hand? [13:20] spekko, then i do not know what happened, [13:20] yes i do [13:20] jrib: Currently on lunch break. Problem is that it only happens every couple of days. [13:20] FunkyWeasel, and how long have you been using this setup ? did the sound problems only start occuring recently ? [13:20] airtonix: sry for late response, i'm right now doing osme investigation on this. brb when i got more info [13:21] i'm sorry _skywalker left before i thanked him :( [13:21] airtonix: They have increased over the last few weeks. [13:21] In the GDB, when a code-list is required i can e.g. write list 56 to list the code around line 56. Is it instead possible to write something like list current_position, so that automatically lines around the current position are listed? [13:21] FunkyWeasel, so you've only been using intrepid for a few weeks ? [13:22] spekko: good... you should be able to fix this then... first of all, can you post the contents of /boot/grub/grub.cfg to http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/ ? [13:22] Diverdude, you made a complicated statement. [13:22] airtonix: No. This install is, I think, 6 months old. The problems increased from once a fortnight on average to twice a week, today having hit 3 times in a week for the first time. [13:22] owner: sure [13:22] spekko, also the sudo fdisk -l output [13:22] FunkyWeasel: usually flash is the culprit so that would be my first guess. Otherwise, check dmesg when it happens and play with pulse [13:23] Diverdude: doesn't "list" (with no arguments) do that already? [13:23] FunkyWeasel, have you investigated the possibility of 1) cleaning up temp files or 2) reinstalling pulseaudio or 3) removing pulsaudio ? [13:23] How can I extract a Live system (from a cutomized bootable CD/iso) onto a hdd to boot in non-persistent mode? Ideally, the filesystem would reside in ram, using the hdd as /boot and /swap. I can't find anything on how to do this this! [13:24] looking for a good article about using irc [13:24] Owner, install it to the hdd, then boot from hdd , [13:25] Owner, also you can use unetbootin to creat a hdd start up [13:25] owner: done [13:25] got a ? about boot.ini file using grub4dos anyone: in boot.ini file, i added c:/glrdr="Start Grub" at end. is that cool to get c:/grub started in boot? i'll type last line of file: multi(0)disck(0)rdisck(0)......../fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn c:\grldr="Start Grub" [13:25] spekko, where? [13:25] anyone, will that ^ work? [13:25] ouyes: how do i make it non-persistent? good point about unetbootin... i forgot about that tool... [13:25] why do i have 65(OMG) /usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon processes running? [13:26] I am trying to use Kino to edit an MTS video file. After a long time it imported the file but now the video plays back much faster than the audio [13:26] Owner, i do not no what is non-persistent [13:26] hey guys how can i run a program the wont close when i close my ssh session to my server ??

So, my package is ubuntu-like i'll put it in /usr/local. And btw, i couldn't find any info bout this page on the forums, and i'm trying to install on /usr/local because it won't compile (cmake gives error) when compl [13:32] having problems with subsonic can anyone help? [13:32] gout: You have a computer without a CD drive and you need to reinstall from CD? Is it a laptop? If your computer wont boot from usb (check the BIOS) then a USB CD drive will be useless for installing. I am in a similar position with a friends laptop and I am considering taking the hard drive out and putting it in another computer just to set up Ubuntu on it [13:32] gout, oh okay, otherwise I'd suggest a wubi install for the time being until you get the hardware you need [13:33] owner: yes im sure i see windows 7 in my boot menu [13:33] how to update grub boot loader after kernel upgrade i use the sudo update-grub but it is of no use [13:33] spekko, do you have a usb hdd pulung in ? [13:33] no i dont. only have internals [13:33] airtonix: 1. No, will give that a try. 2. I will give that a go, 3. If I remove PA I go back to the equally flakey ALSA. [13:34] owner: look at the bottom of that file, i see "menuentry "Windows 7 (loader) etc." is it not that? [13:34] gout: You might find a network install might sort you out if the computer will boot from network. It is well documented I understand but I have never done it. [13:35] hello [13:35] spekko pastebin the output from sudo fdisk -l [13:35] jrib: Dr_Willis: well.. the most important issue for me is performance, I don't care about the looks as long as it doesn't hamper ease-of-use. From what I've heard, Xubuntu's supposed to be lightweight and faster because of the Xfce window system. My system is P4 1.6 Ghz, 512 meg ram, 80 gig SATA 7200rpm hdd with Nvidia FX 5200 card. It's very close to the recommended specifications.. that's the only thing that's got me thinking [13:35] spekko, it seems you have two hdd one is 1000gb one is 320 gb??/ [13:35] yes === Kernel is now known as Wicked [13:36] JonathanEllis, the laser burned out or crapped out in the laptop. how much to replace it. on web, i'm seeing $150+. no way i'm paying that for this junk laptop. and i've heard of directly connecting HDD to an IDE something or other. [13:36] BlitzHere, i am running xubuntu 9.10 it is good and beautiful [13:36] bazhang, waht is a wubi. sounds easy [13:36] BlitzHere: i dobut if it will matter. i say stick with ubuntu. Its trival to install xubuntu afterwards [13:36] owner: both windows and linux is loaded on the 320gb on seperate partitions [13:36] BlitzHere, the performance is better than gnome, FAST [13:36] gout, it installs inside of windows /msg ubottu wubi for more info [13:36] spekko, are you sure you have only one hdd?

Cuz I'd go and do that anyways [13:37] BlitzHere: intsall both and compare (you can just install xubuntu-desktop after installing ubuntu and choose your environment at the login screen) [13:38] ouyes, hmmm? [13:38] BlitzHere, is this karmic we are talking about? lubuntu-desktop is another very lightweight option then lxde [13:38] airtonix jrib: Appreciate the help, good points made chaps. Unfortunately as this is a work machine my opportunity to investigate these non-critical problems is limited at the moment - I need to reboot and get back to work. Thanks again though, and have an awesome one :) [13:38] BlitzHere, i think it is the best way to make a fresh installation of xubuntu [13:38] spekko, wait a moment body, [13:39] sure [13:39] spekko, ouyes: sorry, have too much going on here... i'm back now.. SPEKKO: Alt+F2, gnome-terminal , "sudo fdisk -l" output -> pastebin [13:39] Spec, is win7 installed in the first partition of your 320GB hdd? [13:39] gout: You can get an adaptor cable on Ebay for not much money that will allow you to connect a mini-IDE (laptop) hard disk to a desktops motherboard. Then you can just use the CD drive on the desktop machine to install linux with a livecd [13:40] Owner: link http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m62dc9d23 [13:40] jrib: That's something I've considered...but point to note is that I've got an ugly connection and can't go about downloading multiple large files [13:40] Owner, already http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m62dc9d23 here take a look [13:40] bazhang: yes karmic [13:40] ouyes: no its not. its installed on the 3rd if im not mistaken [13:40] bazhang: I'm trying to figure out which one to use... mind you that I'm new to linux in general [13:41] ouyes: ye on sdb3 is the OS and on sdb6 is the home dir [13:41] BlitzHere, best way is test out as has been said previously then decide [13:41] spekko, ouyes: sorry.. missed that... just a sec [13:41] Owner: use ubuntu and install other de's [13:41] desktop is no problem. i go back and forth between three distros. [13:41] oops thas for BlitzHere [13:41] I have a problem with IDLE 3. It crashes when I press ctrl-space. Can anyone else reproduce the problem? [13:42] ouyes, Owner: and my windows 7 is on sdb2 [13:42] spekko, i mean where is win7 installed, [13:42] bazhang, wubi ubuntu? that is virtual. what good would that do me? [13:43] spekko, are you sure? cd /media [13:43] Has anyone here successfully ran google earth on ubuntu 64? [13:43] spekko, then ls [13:43] spekko, wait , no need [13:43] ouyes, yes im sure windows 7 is on the sdb2. the 200gb partition [13:44] from which where can i [13:44] spekko, are you sure win7 is installed on sdb2?

[13:44] ouyes, yes im sure [13:44] from where can i download cisco packet tracer [13:44] ?? [13:44] bazhang: Dr_Willis: jrib: I've got limits on my downloads...but I'm assuming downloading ubuntu and then installing Xfce shouldn't take up that much bandwidth...thanks for your help. Hopefully next time I log on will be from some version of Ubuntu... [13:44] spekko, ok now , the problem will be solved , i need you to edit the grub.cfg file [13:44] ouyes, Owner: i created the partitions and installed ubuntu after windows 7 [13:45] ouyes: ok let me know what to do :) [13:45] BlitzHere: ubuntu iso = 700mb xubuntu desktop proberluy another 200mb if that... [13:45] spekko, sudo gedit /boot/grub/grub.cfg [13:45] JonathanEllis, does the old machine you're working on have a floppy? mine does, i just don't have the **** 1.44MB floppy disk. boot floppy to make the usb drive boot. i'll do it today if a dvd-cd-rom drive is too expensive [13:45] BlitzHere: i dont see much point in using xubuntu if your pc can handle ubuntu and gnome [13:45] spekko, change set root=(hd1,1) to set root=(hd1,2) then save and reboot [13:45] hello i installed a intel matrix raid 0 on my system and started ubuntu, but doesnt look like its working, i can see the individual drives in the disk manager, how can i fix the issue [13:46] i''ll be back. i need to get out of puppy. lots of glitches. see you in five [13:46] Dr_Willis: where can i find the bin of the program opening deb files? [13:46] rek: you mean 'gdebi' ? [13:46] ouyes, i get an error. i cant save it [13:46] rek: try which gdebi if you are trying to fix the gui .deb assoication [13:47] Dr_Willis: mabe , i used ubuntu.... but i don't remember the name [13:47] vegombrei winblows must go first or a at least a small winblows native partition upfront. [13:47] ouyes: "You are trying to save the file on a read-only disk. Please check that you typed the location correctly and try again." [13:47] Dr_Willis: mythbuntu is quite strange..... so i have ti search gdebi in bin? [13:47] rek: if its even installed at all. [13:47] spekko: the bootloader (grub2) configuration seems fine to me. it attempts to load the W7 bootloader (the chanloader option) when the W7 option is chosen from the menu and that could be your problem... I suppose booting from your W7 CD and writing the bootloader (on the right partition!) would be an option... used to be super easy with xp, as the ext (linux) filesystem wasn't supported and... [13:47] ...therefore you couldn't rewrite the wrong partition easily. have never done it with W7 though... let's see what google has to say about that... [13:47] rek: try it from command line perhaps. [13:48] rek: 'which command' shows the path to 'command' used [13:48] ? [13:48] rek try -> 'which ls ' [13:48] iflema: whats winblows?

I'v run the live CD of ubuntu 7.10 (I think), a long time back... but I like my PC is just over the recommended requirements - and I'd like it my PC is responsive under stress. performance and ease of use are more important than looks. I'd probably disable all the fancy frills on GNOME anyway [13:50] BlitzHere: its not really going to be an issue. you are worrying about too much [13:50] spekko, make sure you use the sudo === willie_ is now known as gout [13:50] /usr/bin/gdebi-gtk Dr_Willis you're cool where did you learn all this stuff is there a manual or something out there? [13:50] if you want ease of use use gnome.. performace will be good.. the docs will be for gnome, so go use 'ubuntu' with gnome. [13:50] vegombrei winblows7 actually it appears one can dual boot with linux first now a days.... scratch that. [13:51] rek: manuals and guides.. :) [13:51] much better. i can breath [13:51] ouyes, i did use sudo [13:51] I am trying to edit a video shot in MTS format. I imported it into Kino which seems to have generated a lower resolution DV copy of it but the video seems to play twice as fast as the audio. Any ideas?

No. And it has stupid triangular screws on the case as well so I will have to buy a triangular screwdriver [13:52] spekko: you're not booting off a cd in your drive, are you? [13:52] rek: there are man pages online in html format. :) [13:52] owner: no im not [13:53] spekko: sorry... had to ask... try Alt+F2, "gksu gedit /boot/grub/grub.cfg" [13:53] JonathanEllis: anti-tamper screws on the case. thats creepy [13:53] Dr_Willis: i don't understand them sometimes... however it worked === ecanto is now known as edson [13:53] gout: Whether your machine will boot from USB or not depends entirely on your BIOS. If that is not an option in the BIOS then dont bother wasting your time and money on a USB CD drive or trying to boot from a memory stick cos it wont work. [13:54] Owner, ouyes: same problem cant save :( [13:54] gout: What brand of laptop is it? I bought an original CD drive for mine for about £10 on Ebay [13:55] Dr_Willis: Yes its a Sony (sorry I mean Silly) Vaio and I hate it. But it belongs to a friend and I said I would see if I could do anything. [13:55] Dr_Willis: i don't see my media in thunar.... why ? when i was looking for the bins i saw them [13:55] spekko, you use ubuntu (gnome or xfce)? [13:55] JonathanEllis: you asked about video. i'm stuck on not being able to use Sony Software exclusively written for M$. i used kino though and later switched to something else. i remember the speed issue. i'll try remember what i did [13:55] rek: I dont use thunar. i hate it as a file manager.. I dont even know if xubuntu auto mounts media or not [13:56] ubuntu (i think :o) [13:56] Dr_Willis: do u like nautilus? why do you hate it [13:56] rek: thunar has no features i need. [13:56] i have to do mkdir mount [13:57] if i want a light file manager - i use rox-filer or mc [13:57] rek: i was using puppy. love the speed, but it has lots of kinks. or differences i've not seen before.

[13:58] why don't you guys try lfs? [13:58] Owner, ouyes: should i try saving the file to the desktop and from there try to copy it to the folder with sudo nautilus? [13:58] You can set up ubuntu with jwm and rox filer.. .... if you want a puppy like desktop. [13:58] spekko: Don't sudo nautilus. Use gksu [13:58] xhhj: lfs dosent have much i need either. :) i did read its book/install docs once.. learned a few tricks..

[15:01] erUSUL: there is no error, it just doesnt boot to windows. and the last time i tried booting from it it went to linus for some reason [15:02] spekko it should boot to a recovery mode... recover it, then reinstall grub...

[15:03] if i hibernate does it save all my open documents etc as well (not to file but to how they are modified?) or do i want to suspend instead? [15:03] Yggdrasil: setting a path where? [15:04] shaneonabike, it could be a hardware issue on that laptop... check this out http://www.softwaretipsandtricks.com/forum/hardware-problems/31389-no-sound-headphone-jack-realtek-hd-audio-device.html [15:04] Yggdrasil: set it in ~/.bashrc [15:04] ~/android-sdk-linux_86/tools$ [15:04] i i was just doing export [15:04] boourns: hah i tried that too - and yeah it's a problem i think with the hardware - maybe but perhaps I'll check the bios and see if it works [15:05] actionParsnip: just add export $PATH ~/android-sdk-linux_86/tools$ [15:05] - the second $ [15:05] Yggdrasil: PATH=$PATH:~/android-sdk-linux_86/tools [15:05] Yggdrasil: no, you will need to add to path [15:06] Yggdrasil: export PATH=~/android-sdk-linux_86/tools:$PATH [15:07] i added what ikonia had and that seems to work. [15:07] actionParsnip: these guides seems to be old dated as old as 2006 is there any new guide using gui tools [15:07] thanks guys [15:07] bhu: no idea, if they work then who cares === gout is now known as rosco [15:08] shaneonabike, good luck... let me know if it is fixable from the bios, i'm curious. i'll be here all day [15:08] does anyone know something about the nmap-lua problem? [15:09] boourns: cool thanks for you help :) [15:09] np === cherwin is now known as frustrateduser [15:10] nmap-lua problem? [15:10] Guest3478: there are 13 active bugs for nmap, which one [15:10] I've trouble adding a second client to bacula [15:10] Does anybody have good documentation to achieve this the proper way? [15:11] Can't seem to wrap my head around the official documentation.. [15:12] frustrateduser: there is bat, Bacula Admin Tool [15:12] frustrateduser: http://www.bacula.org/en/?page=screenshot [15:13] frustrateduser: or bweb [15:13] !info bweb [15:13] Package bweb does not exist in karmic [15:13] is there a way to mae ubuntu looking as clean and crisp as windows. the windows and fonts imo lacks the definition I see in windows [15:13] hi [15:13] how do i correctli terminat a kthread?? [15:13] im working with kthread_stop [15:13] () [15:13] but it wont syncronize with the thread correctly [15:13] im using wait_event_interruptable in the thread function [15:13] EDA: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:14] I have two desktops, both with 1GB ram. One is running Firefox and has 300MB used. The other is running Pidgin and has 550MB used. Why? How can I lower the memory usage on the second? [15:14] actionParsnip: thanks, but I want to understand it using the config files [15:14] MindVirus: open less windows, disable un-needed services [15:14] I'm trying to add a network printer and don't have the "Windows Printer via SAMBA" option. I'm new to Linux and first time user with IRC, please be patient! [15:14] MindVirus: a lot of that ram will be file system cache that will be flushed when real ram is required [15:14] ikonia: I am running all of my services on the 300MB box. [15:15] The 300MB box's name is Grace and 500MB box's name is Oliver. [15:15] renegaid: install ubuntu-restricted-extras will give nice fonts, make sure you have video card drivers installed/configured [15:15] Grace is my server. [15:15] Grace though runs a desktop. [15:15] MindVirus: I suspect it's mostly file system cache, and I wouldn't worry [15:15] I installed those extras. [15:15] ikonia: Oliver frequently runs very slowly. [15:15] it didn't do anything [15:15] MindVirus: is it swapping ? [15:15] MindVirus: firefox sucks at ram [15:15] ikonia: It swaps all the time. [15:16] actionParsnip: Funny you say that because Firefox is on Grace, the 300MB used system. [15:16] MindVirus: ok, looks like you are running out of ram, what's the big users on the desktop ? [15:16] The nmap-lua bug 288358 with the missing http-module! [15:16] ikonia: Pidgin, Rhythmbox, Chromium. [15:16] ikonia: The problem isn't what I run. [15:16] MindVirus: oh, what is the problem ? [15:16] The problem is what the system runs. [15:16] renegaid: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=793178 may help [15:16] MindVirus: such as ? [15:17] ikonia: I have no idea. My baseline memory usage is 500MB. [15:17] Which is unreasonable. [15:17] MindVirus: look at tools like "top" to see what's eating the ram [15:17] ikonia: I have. [15:17] MindVirus: what's eating the ram ? [15:17] Mostly it's Xorg (but the Xorg memory usage is approximately equal between Grace and Oliver). [15:17] MindVirus: file-cache; free ram == wasted ram [15:17] ikonia: I think I know what the problem is. [15:17] Guest3478: its being raised and will be attended, you can contribute to its solving or wait til a new package is released to fix [15:17] MindVirus: oh? [15:18] I run /tmp, /var/tmp in tmpfs. [15:18] MindVirus: tmpfs is ram [15:18] I know. [15:18] that's bad on a 1GB box [15:18] MindVirus: do you use compiz? [15:18] actionParsnip: Yes, on both boxes. [15:18] Yes. Is there any better way to store /tmp and /var/tmp in a non-harddrive location? [15:18] MindVirus: I suspect you're bang on with the problem, those two file systems in tmpfs will eat your ram [15:18] MindVirus: i suggest you use a lighter WM to free up more ram [15:18] MindVirus: why don't you want them on a hard disk [15:18] hey all. can someone help me with reverting my wireless drivers back to 9.04? [15:19] actionParsnip: That is definitely not the problem, again. Grace runs Compiz too and uses 300MB. [15:19] actionParsnip: it's his tmpfs file systems, he's spotted it [15:19] ikonia: I am running an SSD. [15:19] ikonia: ok cool :) [15:19] MindVirus: so why don't you want them on th disk ? [15:19] ikonia: Relatively small amount of writes. /tmp is a filesystem that is constantly written to. [15:19] MindVirus: so ? [15:20] ikonia: SSDs fail when the amount of writes reaches a certain threshold. [15:20] MindVirus: use ext2 and it will be a lot less [15:20] MindVirus: then you've chosen the wrong hardware, if that's your concern. put a disk on it [15:20] (as in a SATA disk for example) [15:20] ikonia: The hardware will remain constant for the purposes of this problem. [15:20] I need to solve this problem without changing hardware. [15:21] ikonia, you have a ssd? in what laptop? and is it fast and got well support in ubuntu ??? [15:21] MindVirus: using journalised fs on SSD is not a great idea [15:21] MindVirus: then you need to either a.) buy more ram b.) buy a disk (sata) to store tmp [15:21] whats gnuplot?? [15:21] actionParsnip: I know. [15:21] need help reverting my wireless drivers back to ubuntu 9.04 please [15:21] ouyes: I have an SSD in my desktop and it's fuly supported and fine [15:21] ikonia: I repeat: no hardware modification. [15:21] MindVirus: then you can't fix it if you won't put the file systems on the disk [15:21] MindVirus: grab a 1Gb SD card and use that as /tmp etc [15:22] iflema, hey are you still here? the windows startup repair cant repair it :( [15:22] actionParsnip, ikonia: my / is ext2. [15:22] MindVirus: wise choice, but won't change anything [15:22] tried #ubuntu+1 but no-one's answering, i think this might be a problem that can be solved here [15:22] ikonia: You run an SSD right? [15:22] erUSUL, hi i tried repairing the windows startup by booting from my windows cd but no luck. [15:22] MindVirus: I do [15:22] ikonia: Is your /tmp on it? [15:22] spekko: :/ [15:23] spekko, what os are you running? [15:23] and the problem is no sound on ubuntu [15:23] MindVirus: yes [15:23] spekko try a super grub disk [15:23] MindVirus: one box has /tmp on the SSD, the other has /tpm on a lare disk volume so the SSD is clear (I run two ) [15:23] enable backport repositories [15:23] in ubuntu [15:23] spekko see if itll boot [15:23] ikonia: If I am to remove the /tmp and /var/tmp lines in fstab, would the computer be safe to run right now, or would you recommend a reboot? [15:23] madch33z3, linux, but i cant seem to boot my windows 7 [15:23] MindVirus: if you remove the lines in fstab it won't make a different until it's rebooted [15:23] anybody GNUplot, what does that meann?? [15:23] spekko, grub doesnt give you a choice? [15:23] erUSUL, iflema kk ill try super grub now [15:24] ikonia: Excellent. [15:24] ikonia, how much is the space of your ssd, is it fast? what is the copying files speed of your ssd?

You lead me to discover the source of my own problem. :P [15:24] thode font settings are the default settings [15:24] MindVirus: you found it on your own, well done [15:24] i don't see a /dev/md0 device, does ubuntu 9.10 live not have RAID1 capabilities by default? [15:24] spekko, i would use ubuntu to back up your files prior to doing any more [15:24] ikonia: Well, hold on here. [15:24] candy: Gnuplot is a portable command-line driven graphing utility for linux, OS/2, MS Windows, OSX, VMS, and many other platforms [15:25] madch33z3, iflema, erUSUL, what do if it boots from super grub? [15:25] candy: http://www.gnuplot.info/ [15:25] ikonia: I set the tmpfs size=32M for two partitions, /tmp and /var/log. [15:25] hablo espanol [15:25] ikonia, what is the copying speed? in a hdd it is usually 27MB/s( the biggest) [15:25] actionParsnip, thanks [15:25] So that's a total of 64MB. [15:25] anyone know? [15:25] !es | mribas [15:25] mribas: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [15:25] ouyes: I don't know the exact figures, much much faster though [15:25] spekko, i dont know much about supergrub. sorry. if you need to repair your windows bootloader, i know how to do that... with windows 7 [15:25] madch33z3, nah i got all my files on another hdd. just dont wna reinstall an OS and install/download all my programs :/ [15:25] spekko, you are back how are the things going?

[15:26] There must be something else.

I will then comment out those lines and see what's up. I'll come back again if I have more problems. Do you mind if I highlight you at random times? [15:26] spekko, ok, the problem is that the bootloader is corrupt. so, you need to rebuild it. I can get windows 7 to work, but grub will be gone === cp is now known as Guest53356 [15:27] iflema, can i install grub with the super grub cd?

For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [15:28] spekko thats easy [15:28] darkfuneral: I understand that, is it a hardware/software/fakeraid partition you want to mouont ? [15:28] reinstall grub to the partition where ubuntu is installed. I prefer easybcd to dual boot [15:28] QUESTION: Why do my Workspace switchers have different options on different machines? Same Ubuntu 9.10 ISO [15:28] spekko not a problem...

[15:32] darkfuneral: I'd get that installed then, as that's the problem [15:32] madch33z3: you can't use 9.04 modules on 9.10 machines [15:32] ikonia: you sure the kern is capable of arrays? [15:33] madch33z3, why you want to do this? [15:33] darkfuneral: not off the top of my head, but I'd suspect so as it's the same kernel as the install [15:33] ouyes, my wireless is dropping out frequently [15:34] madch33z3, ah i see [15:34] madch33z3, what type of wireless network you connecting to? [15:34] a pkg configuration screen just popped up while installing mdadm, i don't know how to navigate it [15:34] darkfuneral: what's it asking you for ? [15:34] fios [15:34] postfix [15:34] madch33z3, i meant encryption on the network (if any) [15:34] Trek, its fios with dhcp enabled from my router [15:34] ok i got it with the tab key [15:34] Trek, oh, sorry, its wep [15:35] madch33z3, ah, i'm familiar with FiOS, i'm a network admin for 3 people's FiOS networks [15:35] madch33z3, you know those fios "actiontek" routers have a reputation for having crappy wifi... many people disable its wifi and use a 2nd router to serve wifi [15:35] actionParsnip: that looks like it would remove some stuff I still need. I found this though: sudo chmod -x /usr/lib/notify-osd/notify-osd [15:35] Trek you agree? [15:35] madch33z3, as boourns just said, they have a notorious reputation for being crap wifi signals [15:36] boourns, yea, but its worked for a while [15:36] actionParnsip: Check it out http://twitpic.com/11i5pw [15:36] madch33z3, try powering off your router and plugging it back in [15:36] diago: if it works then cool, i just tell apps not to use the notify thing [15:36] madch33z3, might help, i do that when there's problems wiht the wifi [15:36] madch33z3, after the power comes back, report back here [15:36] after you test the connectivity [15:36] ikonia: so you're saying i don't have to create the array with mdadm, i can just start it? [15:36] Trek, done that [15:36] actionParsnip: really I just want pidgin not to but I don't know where that is done [15:37] if i do fdisk -l and it has this: /dev/sdd1 * 1 4659 37423386 83 Linux [15:37] does anyone here know what the inverse log-base-10 function is in OO.org? === xomas_ is now known as xomas [15:37] what is the file system for "Linux" [15:37] Trek, had verizon reset the connection too [15:37] diago: its a plugin which is enabled by default, just turn that off [15:37] i need it to mount [15:37] madch33z3, interesting. have they replaced the router yet? [15:37] ikonia: in this case, i don't know how to start it as it seems starting it just means you mount it [15:37] ubuntu: use: sudo parted -l [15:37] Trek, no [15:37] Trek, thats next [15:37] AHHH actionParsnip thanks! [15:38] ty [15:38] madch33z3, what I have is I just plugged a Linksys router into the Actiontec router I got at home and shut off the actiontec wifi :P [15:38] madch33z3, it rarely drops. Nevertheless... [15:38] madch33z3, have you confirmed the issue is not your wifi card? [15:38] can anyone help me. i'm getting Guest46594 is not a registered nickname ...

[15:42] Urda: freaky stuff dude, not seen it as i only use 1 desktop [15:43] actionParnsip: how can I reinstall the workspace switcher? [15:43] yeah add the host afterDea1h theusername in mysql [15:43] i am very new to mysql, as in 30 mins ago [15:43] instead of using localhost use the remote host when adding the userzy [15:43] i am on the msql> at the moment [15:43] sirlark: have you checked postfix logs? [15:44] hey guys - having an issue with my one icon theme. Downloaded it on my desktop, worked great. Downloaded it on my laptop, worked great EXCEPT for the firefox icon. What in the world?? [15:44] epinky: where are they? I'm looking in /var/log/mail (where they are in mandriva) and I've searched around /var/log generally [15:44] actionParsnip: same thing man..it says this: You are trying to save the file on a read-only disk. Please check that you typed the location correctly and try again. [15:44] ikonia: I'm down to 194MB baseline. :D [15:44] actionParsnip: how can I reinstall the workspace switcher? (I keep misspelling your name sorry :( ) [15:44] ikonia, why cant you use 9.04 modules in 9.10? [15:45] ubuntu: then the filesystem is mounted read only [15:45] Urda: use tab to complete nicks [15:45] how do i change the mount restrictions or whatever its called? [15:45] actionParsnip: Yea I was using up arrow cuz I thought I had it right lol [15:45] ubuntu: unmount then remount it [15:45] testing [15:46] actionParsnip: and for the record, thanks for being a fantastic helper :) [15:46] Jimi_Neutral: GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON yourdatabase.* TO 'user'@'host' IDENTIFIED BY 'PASSWORD'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES; [15:46] sirlark: tail -f /var/log/mail.err [15:46] how i can install .bin package? [15:46] Urda: thanks :) [15:47] actionParsnip: mount: can't find /dev/sdd1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [15:47] Urda: just searching the repos to see what the package is [15:47] actionParsnip: ok [15:47] SPhcT, a .bin package is just a binary. [15:47] SPhcT, it could be a virus too :) [15:47] ubuntu: then manually mount using a full mount command [15:47] fasta, i have adobe reader in it... can i install it? [15:47] SPhcT, chmod +x file.bin [15:47] im new dude..i have had linux for 2 days now. [15:48] SPhcT, ./file.bin [15:48] madch33z3, hi. i just did step 3 of that website you gave me, but now when i restart my pc nothing happens :( nothing at all [15:48] !mount | ubuntu [15:48] ubuntu: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [15:48] fasta, ./AdbeRdr9.3-1_i486linux_enu.bin: Permission denied [15:49] ubuntu: what are you trying to do? [15:49] SPhcT, I think you have reading difficulties. [15:49] SPhcT: chmod +x filename [15:49] trying to edit my grub.cfg file from the live cd [15:49] fasta, sory didnt read [15:49] ubuntu are you wanting it to where users can mount certain filesystems? [15:49] SPhcT, anyway, most "expert users" do not use Adobe acrobat. [15:49] i have no CLUE what im doing though. [15:50] fasta: says who? [15:50] SPhcT, unless you are actually authoring Adobe files, which you are not. [15:50] i dont understand any of this stupid man pages [15:50] fasta, what they use? [15:50] SPhcT, e.g. evince. [15:50] !attitude | ubuntu [15:50] ubuntu: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [15:50] Jimi_Neutral: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/index.html [15:50] ...ok? [15:51] where did that come from? [15:51] pingfloyd, says me. [15:51] fasta, it is alredy installed [15:51] Hi all [15:51] LF niggas [15:51] :D [15:51] hi all [15:51] llutz, ok tired that, seemed to work acme back with query ok 0 rows affeced [15:51] evince kind of sucks [15:51] pingfloyd, and why is that? [15:51] Jimi_Neutral: another one http://www.troubleshooters.com/codecorn/mysql/basictutorial.htm [15:51] it's hinting sucks [15:51] epinky: it complains that /etc/postfix/postfix-script is missing [15:51] ubuntu: there are guides everywhere for mounting stuff dude [15:52] yeah..and they have [15:52] fasta, what i have to write here: Enter installation directory for Adobe Reader 9.3 [/opt] [15:52] pingfloyd, that is something 99% of users don't care about. [15:52] llutz, ty bud [15:52] SPhcT, please read a book. [15:52] vnt worked yet. i know its my fault..i will figure it out. thanks though [15:52] SPhcT, there is no need to ask stupid questions. [15:52] fasta: those are non-expert users [15:52] !stupid | fasta [15:52] fasta: The only dumb or stupid question is the one not asked. Please do not tell people off for asking something, just because it seems simple or obvious to you -- we discourage this attitude in all our channels. [15:52] Urda: i can't find the package dude, maybe if you remove it from the panel then readd it, might help some [15:52] fasta, what book? i dont have book with linux... [15:53] SPhcT, then get a book on Linux. Otherwise you remain clueless. [15:53] lol [15:53] !lol | SPhcT [15:53] SPhcT: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. [15:53] actionParsnip: Worth a shot [15:53] pingfloyd, I think Adobe acrobat takes too long to start. [15:54] fasta: yeah, it does [15:54] what does "rw" mean in the mount properties? [15:54] ubuntu: read-write [15:54] ubuntu: It means read write [15:54] ubuntu: read/write [15:54] pingfloyd, technically, I am sure it is a better program. [15:54] WOOHOO!! [15:54] i got it...i think [15:54] fasta: but when I'm having to read a long pdf on the screen, hinting is important [15:54] pingfloyd, (Adobe) [15:54] pingfloyd: change the settings in adobe acrobat and it isnt bad [15:54] what can i say if for everything is it is stupid or !lol, pm... etc... [15:54] Adobe Acrobat is probably one of the worst PDF readers. [15:54] pingfloyd, but practically evince is. [15:54] Just my $0.02. [15:54] the weird thing is..i did exactly what i had done earlier i think..the only thing i didnt do was add an fstab entry for it [15:54] Security wise Adobe is also a nightmare. [15:54] !best | MindVirus [15:54] MindVirus: 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. [15:55] MindVirus, what u sugest? i thing it is good [15:55] fasta: evince is practically what? [15:55] SPhcT: Try Sumatra. [15:55] But evince is also written in C so it will probably be about the same in that regard. [15:55] llutz, can i speak to youi in a private [please? [15:55] Flare-Server: There is objectivity involved. [15:55] Jimi_Neutral: sure [15:55] Flare-Server: Saying that there is no "best" is a lie. [15:55] Some software is better than others. [15:56] I'm using Ubuntu server 9.10 at work. I would like to have this server accessible over the Internet. Other than installing apache, what else is required? [15:56] pingfloyd, IMHO, I much rather see a PDF document within 0.5 seconds than within 5 seconds. [15:56] fasta: if speed is a big deal, I recommend epdf-viewer [15:56] MindVirus: Fix the attitude smart. and please read the rules. [15:56] MindVirus: in your opinion [15:56] nope...didnt work. why does it say "rw" if i cant write to it? [15:56] fasta: it's lighter than evince [15:56] ubuntu: rw only means that *someone* can write to it, not necessarily you. [15:56] ubuntu: try using sudo with it [15:56] pingfloyd, trying it now [15:56] fasta: but about as good as evince [15:57] sudo when i mount it or sudo when i open gedit? [15:57] MindVirus: there is no best software, what one person loves a million will hate [15:57] afternon ppl. I'm back!!! :'( [15:57] MindVirus, but why adobe is bad? i like interface and it also works on your browser.. [15:57] !sudo | ubuntu [15:57] ubuntu: 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) [15:57] sirlark: then you should try reinstalling postfix: "sudo apt-get install --reinstall postfix", or maybe try purging and then reinstalling , I think your /etc/postfix directory got corrupted [15:57] i understand that [15:57] epinky? purging? apt-get purg? [15:57] Is there an nVidia driver expert around?? I have a brand new serious issue [15:58] pingfloyd, epdfview does not zoom in a sane way by default. [15:58] cause i did gksudo when i gedit the file [15:58] pingfloyd, it sure it fast. [15:58] and it still doesnt work [15:58] !ask | darkstar1 [15:58] darkstar1: 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. :-) [15:58] pingfloyd, is* [15:58] fasta: the thing with hinting, is yeah most users don't know/care about it *consciously*. But when they get eye strain they care though they have no idea why. [15:58] ubuntu: o.O it should have [15:58] hey [15:58] does ubuntu break every so often because of upgrades? [15:58] it didnt [15:58] fasta: those are the tradeoffs [15:58] says it is a read only disk [15:59] pingfloyd, I would much rather have that programs were loaded on demand. [15:59] MissPiggy: it's not unheard of :-) [15:59] this is what ubuntu does for me http://i.imgur.com/X2L1O.png [15:59] MissPiggy: Sometimes, yes only due to new programs with old hardware. [15:59] Flare-Server: says this when i mount -l "/dev/sdd1 on /mnt/media type ext4 (rw)" [15:59] pingfloyd, that is, only when their instructions are required. [15:59] it's happened so many times [15:59] sirlark: sudo apt-get remove --purge postfix [15:59] so I can't really use ubuntu? [15:59] ubuntu: Don't mount it in /mnt [15:59] I better just stick with mac os [15:59] MissPiggy: No, you can use it. [15:59] where do i mount it to? [15:59] i have ubuntu 9.10 32bit installed on a first gen pentium 4 machine. i keep getting semi-hard freezes. I can move my mouse cursor, but thats it. i can't ctrl-alt-f* into another tty, i can't ctrl-sysreq-k to kill and restart x (if i do i just get a black screen indefinitely) [15:59] epinky: thanks will try as soon as apt-file finishes indexing ;) [15:59] but how do I make sure it doesn't break like that every couple of weeks? [16:00] ubuntu: /media/ [16:00] Ok. after upgrading to 9.10 and installing nVidia drivers I set my GPu to twinview and activated my second monitor, two things happen; First the second screen is active and whilst my mouse will go over to it I cant move anything else over. Second is that I cant save my settings to the X config file [16:00] MissPiggy, for Haskell development try Arch Linux. [16:00] MissPiggy: looks like hardware issues, not Ubu issues... [16:00] ok..let me figure out how to unmount it now..lol [16:00] Is there anything special I have to do to get scripts I add to the /etc/laptop-mode/batt-start/ directory to properly execute? I wrote it in such a way that it can case start/stop for execution and made it executable. laptop mode is running, i am pretty certain. what else would need to happen? [16:00] MissPiggy, or just go Debian Stable for really stable old stuff. [16:00] fasta: yeah but I wasted a week failing to get arch to even boot [16:00] is there a way to list all files individually (with their path relative to the current working directory) with `ls` to produce this kind output: http://pastie.org/811160 [16:00] is there an irc channel for Ubuntu hackers? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2208400/apt-get-environment-variables-when-spawning-make [16:00] MissPiggy: It won't break wevery couple of weeks, it might break when you do a dist-upgrade [16:00] Trek mac os works fine but ubuntu doesn't [16:00] panfist it may be the graphics card - what go you have? [16:00] MissPiggy, I agree with you, though. [16:01] jldupont: aren't most of us Ubuntu hackers? [16:01] ubuntu: umount :P [16:01] remi: have you tried find ? [16:01] MissPiggy, Ubuntu QA is below acceptable levels. [16:01] Flare-Server, so if I just never upgrade then I should be okay? [16:01] fasta, I imagine it works fine on everyone computer except mien [16:01] fasta: you can try applying for a refund. [16:01] tonyyarusso: probably! I mean sometimes there is a channel for "users" and one for "developers/hackers". [16:01] MissPiggy: No you should upgrade just make sure you have all your drivers for your hardware first [16:01] MissPiggy, if you never upgrade it works until some hackers gains access. [16:01] fasta, I tend to have spectacularly bad luck with computer stuff [16:01] powergoal: ah damn, you're right, find is more appropriate here. thanks a lot! :) [16:01] darkstar1: run: gksudo nvidia-settings and you will be able to save to X config file [16:01] you're welcome :) [16:01] !language | remi [16:01] remi: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [16:01] darkstar1: i suggest you add the nvidia ppa and install the 195 driver [16:02] Flare-Server,the thing is I was using ubuntu and it was great for awhile but I turned on my computer today and got that ;( [16:02] sipior, no, I can just stop using it until it is better again and thereby giving feedback helping the evolutionary process. [16:02] panfist_: Have you tried a RAM check? There should be a "memtest86" option in the startup menu for Ubuntu. What you're describing makes me wonder if you might have a failing RAM chip. You might have to run it for several hours -- I'd recommend overnight -- if the failure is intermittent. [16:02] Trek: i'm fairly certain we can handle "damn", here in the 21st century. [16:02] sipior, and I have reported bugs, which are still open. [16:02] jldupont: The channels are more aimed at purpose than people. For instance, there is a channel for ubuntu development, but that's different than for developers. (For random stuff though, and possibly your question, #ubuntu-offtopic serves as a bit of a catch-all conversational place) [16:02] fasta: i don't really care. [16:02] panfist_: You'd need to reboot, then select memtest86 from the startup menu instead of the usual kernel. [16:02] MissPiggy: if you are running karmic or later, rename /etc/X11/xorg.conf in recovery root console [16:02] fasta, btw ubuntu is the only distro I found which actually boots [16:02] actionParsnip: I'm new to ubuntu so is ppa tha package thing? [16:02] actionParsnip, that's an interesting idea [16:02] darkstar1: its a 3rd party repo maintained by the nvidia team [16:03] MissPiggy, probably you don't understand what boots is, if it is x86 hardware. [16:03] how do I add ppa? [16:03] tonyyarusso: what channel would be good for my question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2208400/apt-get-environment-variables-when-spawning-make ? [16:03] fasta, I don't know anything except that when I press on I get static noise [16:03] darkstar1: https://launchpad.net/~nvidia-vdpau/+archive/ppa [16:03] jldupont: Try #ubuntu-motu [16:03] MissPiggy, static noise? That sounds really bad. [16:03] hi, i am looking for software that helps me to handle a scrum product backlog (creation and management); any recommendations? [16:04] http://i.imgur.com/X2L1O.png [16:04] that's how it looks [16:04] MissPiggy, that seems a graphics card issue. [16:04] actionParsnip: Thanks (btw Kewl name :) ) [16:04] Pici: thanks! [16:04] i am checking the RAM now, thanks rmunn [16:04] MissPiggy, which graphics card do you have? [16:04] darkstar1: its a harry hill joke ;) [16:04] hey everyone, I am looking for a vnc client. I just want control and I don't want the server to send back any image...I am trying to set up a small footprint vnc method of controlling a vnc server. Is it possible to set that up either on the client side or the server side? [16:04] MissPiggy: that's a graphics card issue. [16:04] I have had to get my computer fixed twice because the graphics card broke [16:05] actionParsnip: Never been a fan of that guy tbh [16:05] Flare-Server: does the samething [16:05] 大家晚上好 [16:05] "/dev/sdd1 on /media type ext4 (rw)" [16:05] gdiz: considered ssh? [16:05] MissPiggy, anyway, that's either a driver configuration issue, or a hardware issue. [16:05] MissPiggy, nothing wrong with Linux here. [16:05] well duh [16:05] of course linux works for you [16:05] fasta: fonts in general are one those things that most users don't consciously care about (unless they're into design), but it actually is very important to everyone since majority of what we look at is text. [16:06] ubuntu: try adding uid=1000 to the mount option [16:06] I don't see why my computer crashing would have any effect on the rest of the world [16:06] pingfloyd, I read the TeX book. I understand. [16:06] fasta: the linux front has gotten better with fonts over time, but it still has a long way to go [16:06] is there a repo available for swiftfox ? [16:07] apt-cache search did not find it [16:07] MissPiggy, do you see the BIOS when you start your machine? [16:07] i am on karmic [16:07] a [16:07] fasta: MS is only *marginally* better with fonts [16:07] I don't know what a BIOS is [16:07] actionParsnip: mount -t uid=1000 ext4 /dev/sdd1 /media <--- like that? [16:07] ola [16:07] I get rEFIt then I choose linux and get that noise [16:07] español [16:07] actionParsnip, yeah I have played around with it. But my goal is to use it like a remote for things like hulu and youtube. So, I would love to use ssh, but I have not had too much luck manipulating controls for things like full screen, play, pause via ssh. [16:07] if I choose mac instead then it works fine [16:07] !es | seli [16:07] seli: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [16:07] axisys: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas [16:07] so I'm on mac again now, which sucks because I wanted to be on ubuntu [16:07] MissPiggy, so, you have an Intel Mac? [16:07] fasta: but on both platforms there is loads of fonts with terrible kerning and other problems [16:07] yes [16:08] actionParsnip: thanks [16:08] actionparsnip, is there a way to do that via ssh? [16:08] ubuntu: dont mount to /media mount to a folder in /media [16:08] MissPiggy, well, then it is not to be unexpected that you have some problems. [16:08] thanks fasta.. [16:08] MissPiggy, it is a difference between millions of users and thousands of users, I expect. [16:08] gdiz: you can use x forwarding, the app will run on the server but display on the client [16:08] okay [16:08] wouldnt that be the same thing as mounting to the "media" folder i created in /mnt? [16:09] MissPiggy, so, just report a bug and hope for the best and use mac OSX in the meanwhile. [16:09] actionParsnip: how do I add it as repo.. and looking in your page (url) [16:09] Hi clever dudes [16:09] ubuntu: sudo mkdir /media/sdd1; mount -t ext4 /dev/sdd1 /media/sdd1 -o uid=1000,rw [16:09] hi homely girl [16:09] I need help with my java jre installation! [16:09] fasta: fonts are big pet peeve of mine, and one of the reasons I'm using ubuntu instead of fedora these days. Because with ubuntu, at least you have cleartype out of the box without having to manually replace libraries by hand. [16:09] actionParsnip: -o uid=1000 pointless with extX [16:09] It's not working I can't seem to fix the install which I was led to believe is broken 'n am just at my wits end! [16:10] actionparsnip, is there a way almost to do the opposite, like control apps on the client side and run them on the server side? [16:10] whats the best way to check for LVM support from the CLI? [16:10] I just want to get a computer that runs linux perfectly and throw this thing in the bin [16:10] llutz: i see [16:10] mdasilva: in the kernel or in programs? [16:10] fasta: you can get cleartype on fedora, but you have to many change some libraries since they don't support it due to licensing policy [16:10] in the kernel [16:10] axisys: you can add the 2 lines in the technical details if you are not running karmic or later, otherwise you can paste the ppa address in software sources [16:10] i am looking for software that helps me to handle a scrum product backlog (creation and management); any recommendations? [16:10] no point having LVM programs without kernel support i suppose [16:11] actionparsnip, I mean vnc would be perfect, but I think the actual sending of the image back to the client takes up a ton of resources on the server side. [16:11] actionParsnip: now its saying that it is a bad filesystem type [16:11] but it has mounted every other time [16:11] s/many/manually [16:11] ubuntu: is it ext4? [16:11] actionparsnip, if there's a way to do that via ssh, then all the better [16:11] yes [16:11] actionParsnip: you mean add this deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/awn-testing/ubuntu karmic main in my karmic sources.list ? [16:11] gdiz: i am not sure about that, id imagine you could [16:12] actionParsnip: yes...i have mounted it several times..but it keeps being read only.. [16:12] mdasilva: hmm i think it would be a kernel opt straight out, but let me take a look [16:12] powergoal: appreciate it [16:12] i b0rked a system by going from a juanty to karmic upgrade [16:12] axisys: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:awn-testing/ppa [16:12] actionParsnip, well thanks for the help anyway, I will keep playing around with it [16:13] ubuntu: then have it unmounted and fsck it [16:13] !fsck [16:13] fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [16:13] actionParsnip: thanks [16:13] mdasilva: the generic image should have lvm support, because I'm use both [16:14] pingfloyd: cool [16:14] i guess there hsould be a /proc/lvm ?

When I went to attempt to change it to lists.xxx.org/mailman, everything has failed and I am recieving file not found issues. Any help? [16:18] darkstar1: it allows you span disks, resize the the LVs online etc. [16:18] mdasilva: aahh.. actually my 8.04 was sort of fine.. only had one bug which was video but when I came on here 3 days ago ppl encourage me to upgrade [16:18] Does anyone know what format the gnome invest applet expects for the ticker symbol of index funds? [16:18] mdasilva: what fs do you run with your lvm? [16:18] darkstar1: do dumps, the list goes on [16:19] powergoal: ext3 from what i recall [16:19] darkstar1: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/html_single/LVM-HOWTO [16:19] WoW!!!! resizing volumes in Real time!! you're kidding right? [16:19] darkstar1: that's just the beginning of its flexibility too [16:19] actionParsnip: it mounts it now but still gedit says it is read only when i try to save [16:19] mdasilva: ahh. I ran LVM with xfs for a while, made things very easy until I overwrote what would have been the MBR of the primary disk. Unfortunately, it was a completely encrypted drive and lost encryption headers. hahaha [16:19] lvm should be standard for both desktop and server installs [16:20] Is there a man page for ppp/options [16:20] darkstar1: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_volume_management [16:20] I see they weren't kidding about the current status of linux then [16:20] jeke: pppconf ? [16:20] powergoal: yeah im just looking to get this back up and pull the data from it.. i'll reinstall the system if i have to but i rather salvage the situation [16:20] epinky yeah [16:20] i went from edgy to karmic [16:20] lol [16:20] mdasilva: of course. its always preferable to go that way. :) [16:21] i was good until jaunty... [16:21] up to jaunty that is [16:21] oh well..im gonna get some sleep. i will fool with it some more later on [16:21] when I hit control+c in my terminal it outputs "^C", why is this? It never happened before. [16:21] thanks actionParsnip for all the help [16:21] mdasilva: yeah, should definitely be an option without any fuss [16:21] Hello good people [16:21] madch33z3, hey are you still here? [16:21] jeke: open a terminal and type "apropos ppp" [16:21] mdasilva: which version is edgy?? is it lower than 8.0? [16:21] any one know how to set the default OS in Grub2???? [16:21] hi [16:22] darkstar1: edgy is like version 6 [16:22] lol [16:22] last try: i am looking for software that helps me to handle a scrum product backlog (creation and management); any recommendations? [16:22] epinky ok thanks [16:22] !edgy | darkstar1 [16:22] audacity gives an edited media as .au... how to change extension?? [16:22] darkstar1: Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft) was the fifth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 25th, 2008. See !eol for more details. [16:22] mdasilva: lol.... You started way farther back and hit the same wall :) [16:22] noladesi: set it in /etc/default/grub [16:22] mdasilva: I most definitely recommend to use lvm if you want to dm-crypt more than one filesystem [16:23] i had to jump fiesty which surprisingly went well.. [16:23] hi everyone... one quick question, since when isn't > putting the terminal output into anymore? [16:23] mdasilva: that way you only have to deal with one passphrase instead of multiple ones [16:23] but i cant believe i tripped from the jaunty-karmic upgrade [16:23] damn lvm2 === edogawa__ is now known as edogawa [16:23] Nearsight: it should be. what is the output? [16:23] pingfloyd: not erally looking to dm-crypt but i'll keep it in mind [16:23] mdasilva: that's strange [16:23] Nearsight: do you have write access to the pwd? [16:23] anyone here with karmic and a "00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) HD Audio Controller"? i can crash the system using mp3blaster by pausing and resuming a random mp3 file... [16:24] Nearsight: might be that you're outputting in a dir which you dont have access rights? [16:24] mdasilva: because I've upgraded ok from 9.04 to 9.10 in the past on a system with lvm2 and dmcrypt [16:24] pingfloyd: i think karmic introduced lvm2... that or the upstart busted things... dunno [16:24] actionparsnip: bash: /etc/default/grub: Permission denied [16:24] audacity files results in .au extensioin... how to change it??? [16:24] mdasilva: 9.04 has lvm2 [16:24] under debian, there is no such problem, so no defective hardware [16:24] powergoal, actionParsnip darkstar1: I have write access and the output is a lot of debug stuff [16:24] Nearsight: pastebin ? [16:24] well i'll probably have more issues to sort through then [16:24] mdasilva: something must've gotten clobbered in the process of your upgrade [16:24] noladesi: its a text file to edit, use gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub [16:25] hey, if I already have ubuntu installed, should I install ubuntu studio if I want a low latency kernel, or is there an easier way to get the same effect? [16:25] Ok I have to restart the system, a lotta upgrades to get rid of one bug.. brb [16:25] noladesi: edit the file then run: sudo update-grub [16:25] powergoal: does the output really matter? it doesn't work with an binary that produces one [16:25] pingfloyd: yeah im being optomistic that it is just a lvm issue.. [16:25] actionParsnip: thanks... [16:25] mdasilva: you used the ubuntu packages on the old system right? [16:25] Nearsight: it might matter, it might not. but if you want me to help, the more info you give the better off :) [16:25] pingfloyd: yep [16:25] mdasilva: for your lvm2 [16:25] y0 [16:25] i can't recall if it was lvm1 or 2 [16:25] i think 2 [16:26] anybody help with audacity?? [16:26] i mean version 1 [16:26] how i can create .ygz arhive? [16:26] mdasilva: there may be some caveats with lvm1 [16:26] i wnat to register my nick here [16:26] powergoal: I would really like to paste you the output, but trying to get the output in a pastebale format is actually th reason I tried '>' , which kind of closes the circle here ^^ [16:26] mdasilva: I was using lvm2 when I upgraded [16:26] sory .tgz [16:26] !anyone | candy [16:26] candy: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."

When i login conky shows, and then it dissapears. Could someone assist me in solving this problem [16:39] packetcase: (and seriously, if they're not gigabit cards with Auto-MDI, you'll need a crossover cable) [16:39] ubuntu-traveler, are you running compiz ? or do you have metacity set to compositing ? [16:39] darkstar1: what upgrade?? [16:39] airtonix: Which one is the host computer?:-) [16:39] are there any desktop resize tools to deal with overscan on tv's? [16:39] I can't do it with the nvidia settings tool [16:39] packetcase, the one to which you are trying to connect to [16:39] airtonix, compiz is enable [16:39] powergoal: just doesn't seem to work with some binaries... like ruby binaries e.g. [16:40] enable double buffer [16:40] actionParsnip: The nVidia ppa addition and subsequent upgrade [16:40] ubuntu-traveler_, this is why... you need to enable framebuffering option with conky [16:40] ubuntu-traveler_, framebuffering or doublebuffering i think [16:40] actionParsnip: it required 2 system restarts and booting into recovery mode to get back in... [16:40] darkstar1: works fine here, i've not had a single issue with it except in lucid which i expected [16:40] yea it might just be commented out...set it to "1" [16:41] hello [16:41] can i install ubuntu virtually on windows ? [16:41] . [16:41] Nearsight: ok, i think i might have an idea then. it could be that they aren't outputting to stdout, so the pipe doesn't send anything. what you need to do it is something like &2>/path/to/output/file at the end [16:41] ubuntu 9.10 [16:41] airtonix, should that be in the conkyrc file? [16:41] In BitchX, is there a straightforward way to display usernames on the side of my terminal window? [16:41] manhunter: sure the iso can be used in virtualbox or vmware equally [16:42] ubuntu-traveler_, it can be or you can specify tit as a command parameter [16:42] Hi. I am trying to compile nginx and it won't work because it can't find gd. How do I install gd exactly? I installed php5-gd but that doesnt seem to be enough.... [16:42] powergoal: what is this '&2' exactly? [16:42] actionParsnip: how can i do that ? [16:42] ok [16:42] actionParsnip: I need to upgrade the drivers again what's the gksudo command to do that coz I can't do it normally in the UI [16:42] !bitchx | Phosis [16:42] Phosis: bitchx (also known as ircii-pana) was dropped from Debian and subsequently Ubuntu (see: http://dy.fi/afb). Consider using irssi or weechat instead. [16:42] &2 is the stderr, or error stream [16:42] sipior: The ubuntu machine has one from Realtek. [16:42] manhunter: install the virtualisation software then tell it to boot the iso [16:42] spekko, do u have installation cd or dvd of ubuntu 9.10?? [16:42] Thank you [16:43] Nearsight: it says to the program, everything that you would otherwise display as an error, put it to this other place. useful for piping errors to files and /dev/null if you dont care about hem at all [16:43] manhunter: from your apparent newness to virtualisation i suggest virtualbox [16:43] ubuntu-traveler_, http://blendmaster.name/2009/01/compiz-and-conky-bff/ [16:43] actionParsnip: still cannot find swiftfox .. i added the ppa repo [16:43] Is is possible to disable key repeating in Gnome, via the terminal?

[16:47] candy you missed replcing one "you" with U [16:48] wrapster: yeah, thats weird. i would comment out the xyz line, but the only way that would pose a security risk is if you have a user named xyz on your box [16:48] wrapster: is that your concern?

[16:53] if so enable it in your xorg.conf [16:53] Nearsight: you're welcome [16:53] raven_: yes [16:53] of the same kind.. so instead of commenting it out.. if i can get to the roots of to figure out how it was introduced it will be great.

[16:54] wrapster: i dont know who is the maintainer, but i think you'll have to figure that out. could be ubuntu devs or they may get it from upstream [16:54] adambomb, what sort of error it shows?? [16:54] raven_: no, sory [16:54] candy: none, the applying screen just stopped at applying changes to grub.cfg, then it went gray [16:54] ok [16:54] i've stopped that, and... half of dvd is recorded, i've mounted, ncdu says that files are 2GB [16:54] forceflow, ok [16:54] is possible to reconstruct a gpodder "session" by scanning the media-folder?

I can't get sound no matter what i try on 9.10 [16:57] adambomb, :) [16:57] I'll go ahead and try a terminal update and see what happens [16:57] adambomb: dont be suprised if you have to reinstall grub though [16:57] adambomb, ya terminal update is better option. try and see what happens [16:58] as long as it doesn't wreck havoc on the kernel i'll be okay.

[18:08] mediumone: yes - here :) [18:08] shane2peru: yes I have two installations.

I couldn't boot into ubuntu. :( [18:39] dasen: unless you lump all *nix like systems into one and include embedded as well... and if that's so, it already has by a lot [18:39] grumbly: linux keeps getting easier and easier to use, maybe someday it will be even easier than windows or mac os x [18:39] CAPcap: hmm i get that tab ;x weird, sorry i have no idea then [18:39] shane2peru : I am using the liveCd now :( [18:40] dasen: it's not about ease of use, it's about compatibility and familiarity [18:40] Hmm, thats strange. I've had lots of trouble with sound. Don't think I can offer any more advice [18:40] mikey_, testing the selected source via the config works, it just seems to have an issue with the audio, then again the audio is coming from a hot plugged external hdd [18:40] grumbly: and pre-installed windows in new pc's... [18:40] greetings [18:40] WTF [18:40] I dont thing the external hdd would matter aslong as it's mounted correctly [18:40] i downloaded the alternate ISO and it's still graphical [18:41] dasen: windows is NOT easy to use [18:41] think^ [18:41] dasen: case in point- I'm trying (for 3 days) to get my oldoldold video card working with compositing. it works OOB with windows [18:41] when I am trying to download alien area it gives me error "Requires installation of untrusted packages" whats wrong? [18:41] oh wait... [18:41] hi again, so i tried to boot my ubuntu 64bits on my dell studio 1743 i720qm... but the sreen stay black... i checked the cd and it's right... is it because of the pross or the graphic card or.. ? should i install it? [18:41] Had a look on the web? [18:41] sigh [18:41] tasaduq: how are you downloading it? [18:41] tasaduq: post results of "cat /etc/apt/sources.list" [18:41] xro: are you pressing a key to get the one-time boot menu and selecting boot from CD? [18:42] Hello. I have 2 soundcards in my computer. When I boot, the card "0" is my EMU404. But when I go back from suspend, the card "0" is the other one (Intel). It's annoying because I've setup some apps to work with a specific soundcard. Is there a way to force my emu404 to be card 0 hw0,0 ? [18:42] If anyone is familiar with the settings I need to find in order to setup a "spanned desktop" I would be appreciative [18:42] tasaduq: and then "gpg --list-keys" [18:42] i already have another monitor plugged into the svga output on my laptop , and I am getting a mirrored desktop on the new monitor at this moment [18:42] mdienso, I don't use KDE but is there a Sound System in KDE Control Center? or somthing along those lines? [18:42] daftykins, i thought id let you know, it randomly fixed itself, it now uses image viewer (EoG) and i have the option to change it [18:43] CAPcap: :D cool [18:43] dasen: BUT!!! if you add all the mentioned unix-like systems into one group, include embedded systems (phones, Car systems, home-routers, ipods and media players alike) *NIX has overtaken windows several times over [18:43] is there a way to make them one larger dekstop? [18:43] shane2peru: I lost my second ubuntu installation as well. I am unable to understand what's going wrong. GRUB goes to memtest86+ directly [18:43] mobius2: look into xinerama, or twinview if you have nVidia [18:43] mikey_, idk to be honest, im not much of a kde guy either myself, just liked the itunes esque interface [18:43] daftykins, dont sure about what you mean... i reboot my laptop with ubuntu 64 bits live cd inside... and i press boot from cd without change anything... [18:43] So, I'm trying to install the nvidia legacy drivers, and there are some instructions that dont match up- it's tellming me to add DISABLED_MODULES="nv nvidia_new" to /etc/defaults/linux-restricted-modules (or -common) but the only place I know to prevent module loading is from /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf... Is it correct to add those entries as blacklist entries? [18:43] !floodbots > saeed14i [18:43] saeed14i, please see my private message [18:43] arghh2d2, I am downloading it via ubuntu software center [18:43] !xinerama | mobius2 [18:43] mobius2: xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead [18:44] Ah, fair enough. I would give Rhytmbox a go.

[18:44] * mobius2 listens to rythmbox right now [18:44] daftykins, i did it and the disk is ok [18:44] krysis: i also have the same problem, it doesn't work with sound enabled [18:44] I love rythm box its better than ANYthing ive ever used [18:44] I have a feeling it has some gnome dependices though [18:45] mine works but uses the wrong input dasen [18:45] arghh2d2, lol, well im an apple/linux/unix boy, i respect all walks of life [18:45] xro: ok do you know what graphics you have in said laptop? [18:45] I gave this command in the terminal : sudo fdisk - l . it shows me a list of partitions. there is an asterisk near /dev/sda3. what does that mean? [18:46] mdisieno, you mean linux/uninx guy:) [18:46] mdisieno: tee hee hee...boy [18:46] mediumone: sda3 is your root [18:46] can anyone help me? i have a boot problem. i have windows 7 installed. in my grub menu i have linux and windows in it. but i cant boot to windows. when i try booting to windows with the super grub disc i get this error "BOOTMGR is missing" [18:46] i'm a linux man. [18:46] or boot [18:46] mediumone: do you see how the asterisk is under 'boot' ? [18:46] apple is unix [18:46] coz_, lol, not exactly, my media center is ubuntu, my desktop is mac osx 10.6/gentoo and my laptop is mac osx 10.6/freebsd [18:46] spekko: is this with karmic? [18:46] osx is freebsd [18:46] dos is unix [18:47] daftykins, im new to ubuntu.. but i think its karmic [18:47] hello [18:47] daftykins: the asterisk is below 'Boot' and against /dev/sd3 [18:47] i need minimal X setup just to run a java profiler [18:47] how can i install it [18:47] sudo apt-get install xorg [18:47] does anyone know why my mic is a "playback"? [18:47] I think [18:47] something that will be lightweight X [18:47] mediumone: asterisk says this partition has boot_flag set [18:47] spekko: v9.10? [18:48] mediumone: yeah so that's the bootable partition [18:48] cambazz, you could use if you want a DE lxde [18:48] daftykins, yes 9.10 [18:48] your mom's a playback [18:48] !grub2 | spekko [18:48] spekko: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [18:48] mikey_, arghh2d2 coz_ switched to rhythm box, things guys [18:48] I'm on a system which has gnome installed, but when you boot it boots into the command prompt. How can I run gnome so I get a graphical interface? [18:48] y'read those guides spekko ? ^ [18:48] thanks* [18:48] arghh2d2: whats your problem? [18:48] usicow: sudo startx ,,iirc [18:48] daftykins, yes it's an ATI HD4570 i think... do you need the exact model? [18:48] coz_ : what is DE lxde [18:48] Mdisieno, got your music playing now then? hehe [18:48] daftykins, ive been given links whole day already, formatted windows partition and re installed. but im back to where i started now [18:49] no sudo in startx [18:49] krysis: did i say anything to you? [18:49] ohir, daftykins: how can I change the boot partition to /dev/sda1 ? [18:49] usicow: "sudo service gdm start" for karmic, "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start" for earlier [18:49] daftykins, ill read that link. havent read it yet [18:49] cambazz, DE stands for Desktop enviroment and lxde although base on gtk is very very light [18:49] usicow: just startx [18:49] "arghh2d2: your mom's a playback" who eles said anything about playback? [18:49] arghh2d2, take the chat elsewhere [18:49] krysis: your mom? [18:49] I'm running Fluxbox at the moment. Really liking it [18:49] anyway, can anyone plaese help me with my mic? [18:50] Krysis, whats up? [18:50] coz_ arghh2d2 unix in basis, but much like with dos, there is departure. in essence one could classify all OS as unix derivative, linux thanks to a kernel finds itself different, just as darwin in mac osx [18:50] mdisieno, please take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic [18:50] hey, my intel has 3 different inputs, input source (no number), input source 1, and input source 2, my regular mic works fine with the first one, but recordmydesktop "DEFAULT" is using the second one mikey_ [18:50] hi evrybody [18:50] bazhang, lol, sorry, just clarifying, have a nice day [18:51] is there any way to force widescreen (letterboxing) on a fullscreen laptop moniter [18:51] mdisieno: please dont try to educate me about things you dont understand [18:51] arghh2d2, if you wish you discuss, lets follow bazhang's suggestion [18:51] pass [18:51] arghh2d2, then dont start things [18:51] pfft [18:52] stfu [18:52] daftykins, so it's an ATI HD4650... [18:52] daftykins: I have two linux partitions now and I am unable to boot into any of them. I am booting from the liveCD. How can I boot from any of the two partitions? [18:52] i dont understand ... ubuntu can create a beautiful spanned desktop OOB but it's rotated and i cant fix that rotation [18:52] Ok... Um... How do I format my eMac again with Mac OS format and reinstall my Mac OS X CD? I know this is a Ubuntu, because my eMac has Ubuntu installed. and how od I remove the booter and such? [18:52] mediumone: what changed between when it did and when it didn't work? [18:53] daftykins, gona reboot now. this looks promising. will be back with results ^^ thanx [18:53] jhb1608: you don't want grub or ubuntu anymore? [18:53] I started an apt-get upgrade but it is taking too long and I need to leave, but I did not use screen. Can I pause it, connect and use screen to continue it? [18:53] is there any way to force widescreen (letterboxing) on a fullscreen laptop moniter [18:53] ? [18:53] no jrib [18:53] no more yaboot [18:53] jhb1608: just put your os x disc in and boot from it [18:53] CAPcap, what is the purpose of this ? [18:53] tried that [18:53] xro: ok so when you boot the CD, have you tried waiting for the disc to stop working and then hitting ctrL+alt+f1 through F6 to see if you get command line logins? (TTYs) as it might just be the graphics that's failing [18:53] won't let me [18:54] it detect no harddrive, only my CD [18:54] but grayed out [18:54] that's why I'm here [18:54] jhb1608: you need to hold down some key, c maybe (I don't remember). The osx channel will know. Also please stop breaking up what you say on different lines [18:54] Pelo, there really isn't any i guess, just was wondering. [18:54] did that [18:54] guys, does anyone know if the Majic SysRq key is enabled on ubuntu by default? doesn't seem to be working on my end [18:54] hi can i make a whole customised ubuntu CD/DVD from fedora OS [18:55] narendra, no [18:55] mediumone, are you still here? how old is your harddrive? perhaps hardware is failing? [18:55] mediumone, do you get an error? [18:55] I did all method you can think of, jrib. [18:55] JuJuBee: no you can't, but depending on what phase of the upgrade it's in, you could interrupt it and restart it. If it's still just downloading packages, you can interrupt it at any time. If it's actually started installing, it may leave your system in an inconsistent state [18:55] shane2peru: no, it is just 1 year old. [18:55] daftykins, same problem still :( [18:55] mdisieno, goes straight to memtest instead of booting [18:55] Even tried the CPART CD too. [18:55] dd_rescue -v -l Dvd.log /dev/sr0 Dvd.img [18:55] jhb1608: it's not really an ubuntu issue, just hold down c and boot from the cd. Ask os-x why that wouldn't work [18:55] does that look right [18:55] daftykins, so i let it boot and i press ctrl-alt-f1 at the end? [18:56] mediumone, hmm, that is odd [18:56] bazhang: I need to have Ububntu , any good in depth tutorial for it, i wanna change it in may ways - from installtion to booting part [18:56] jbwiv: it is set to y in the generic kernel config (and I know alt-sysrq-k works at least) [18:56] spekko: ok do you wanna detail a little more about your disk config, which you install first, how you install ubuntu, etc? also is this a SATA system, IDE compat or AHCI mode? [18:56] narendra, from within fedora? or from fedora [18:56] shane2peru, do you have a boot selector such as grub installed? [18:56] ok then I'll go to apple room or something, you're not helping me. [18:56] daftykins: I followed instructions in this link - http://www.ubuntu-inside.me/2009/06/howto-recover-grub2-after-windows.html. it asks for a reboot. after reboot, it boots into memtest86+ [18:56] xro: yep, any of ctrL+alt+f1 through f6 should give you a CLI login if it's only the GUI that's busted [18:56] shane2peru, whoops, wrong person, mediumone [18:56] bazhang: from Ubuntu [18:56] mdisieno, lol, no prob. :) [18:56] trism, what's k do in this case? Is there an easy way for me to test without trying to reboot mymachine? [18:57] narendra, remaster fedora from within ubuntu? [18:57] shane2peru: it crashed after i followed intructions in that link. [18:57] shane2peru: when I run sudo fdisk -l , I can see all partitions [18:57] mediumone: sounds like you're close to getting it right, just the default OS to boot is wrong - try holding shift at startup and see if you get a boot menu with the other entries other than memtest listed [18:57] mediumone, it is still there, it is matter of getting it to be recognized, and boot up from grup [18:57] grub [18:57] jbwiv: kills all processes on the current virtual console [18:57] bazhang: i want to remaster ubuntu 9.10 and give student a custom CD [18:58] mediumone, ok, how many hdd are we dealing with? just one? [18:58] daftykins: I havent tried pressing shift before will do it now [18:58] shane2peru: just one [18:58] narendra, then you might want to check out ubuntu customization kit /msg ubottu remaster for details and more info [18:58] daftykins, so i see buffer I/O error before the black screen [18:58] hello [18:58] mediumone, also what was installed was it koala for both installations? [18:58] xro: ah-har, have you done the memtest option per-chance? [18:58] test memory i mean [18:58] shane2peru: yes koala [18:58] which incidentally runs memtest ^_^ [18:59] trism, including X sessions I see. Lol...it worked. thanks ;) [18:59] bazhang: i want to customise from, install menu to boot menu and may application i want to add like vlc instead of default player === arand_ is now known as arand [18:59] shane2peru: I installed the second time because of the same issue. it was booting into memtest [18:59] narendra, yes I understand. please see my comment above [18:59] mediumone, ahh, now that is a pertinent piece of information [19:00] i have royaly screwed up my nvidia drivers....i have broken packages....anyway is there away to keep my home dir intact a do a fresh install [19:00] daftykins, and the server x is ok now... i just select safe graphic mode... so that mean i can install it? [19:00] shane2peru: let me try hitting shift on boot up now. let me see if it takes me to some menu where I can select the partitions to boot from [19:00] mediumone, in light of that, seems as this could be a hardware issue with ubuntu [19:00] Losha: thanks, that is what I was praying for. It was still downloading. Now I used screen to restart process and can detach safely. [19:00] mediumone, or, could even be a BIOS setup that needs adjusted. [19:00] okay, i realize this will sound via gentoo (where im coming from), is there a way to enable wma support in rhythm box, ie similar to a useflag? [19:00] shane2peru: I am using a compaq laptop. that's all the specs I know :P [19:00] bazhang: is there any better way to do it other then UCK? [19:00] xro: yep should be fine to install - though bear in mind that you may need to install a graphics driver. are you installing alongside windows? [19:01] narendra, have you checked the link yet? [19:01] shane2peru: you mean the bootorder? [19:01] I have a Dell Inspirion 600m laptop. I have an ATI Mobility 9000 card in it. I have an s-video out thats going to my TV but i cant detect the TV as a monitor. Help? [19:01] ugliefrog: what's broken nvidia driver wise? [19:01] mediumone, right, could be === wertik_rus is now known as || [19:01] shane2peru: can I first to that "shift" upon reboot? === || is now known as ||| [19:01] ugliefrog: only if you were smart enough to have separate /home [19:01] daftykins, i'll try it know... i would like to know how ubuntu 64 works... [19:01] daftykins, ok. i had windows installed first on one partition. then i installed ubuntu on another partition of the same hard disk. after that i couldnt boot to windows (i have it in my grub boot menu but when i select it i get a black screen for a second and it takes me back to the boot menu). i then re installed windows. then grub was gone. i re installed grub and was back to my first problem of not being able to boot to windows. its [19:01] mediumone, sure give that a try, one question though [19:01] a sata hdd yes. and its windows 7 i wana boot to. see these links "http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m62dc9d23" and "http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d45c0008d" [19:01] shane2peru: yes [19:02] mediumone, when you followed that guide did you use a liveCD? [19:02] hey people. I need a hand with a webdav setting. Right now my /webdav asks for a password (the way i want it) but my alone also shows contents of davmap, and i dont want that. can anyone give me some pointers!? Please PM Thanks [19:02] bazhang: which link ? [19:02] spekko: is one of those pastebins the output of sudo fdisk -l ? [19:02] how can I make laptop's webcam work? [19:02] bazhang: " /msg ubottu remaster for details and more info" ?? [19:02] yes [19:02] !remaster > narendra [19:02] narendra, please see my private message [19:02] daftykins, yes [19:02] shane2peru: no. it was my second installation. I was using it to recover my first lost installation! :( [19:02] shane2peru: I am now on the liveCD [19:03] bazhang: oh got it [19:03] reactor, whats the laptop model? [19:03] .. [19:03] spekko: is it a custom built computer or a company made one?

Any ideas? [19:03] mediumone, ok, perhaps it would be best to try it again via livecd, I may have been wrong about doing it on the same drive, here is that guide again: http://www.ubuntu-inside.me/2009/06/howto-recover-grub2-after-windows.html [19:03] I have a Dell Inspirion 600m laptop. I have an ATI Mobility 9000 card in it. I have an s-video out thats going to my TV but i cant detect the TV as a monitor. Help?

[19:04] holaa [19:04] shane2peru: is ther anyway to get into recovery mode or something on booting? [19:04] ola [19:05] spekko: ja so is it safe for me to assume you're running AHCI mode? [19:05] olaaaaa [19:05] javito, english here please #ubuntu-es for Spanish [19:05] hello [19:05] mediumone, I'm not 100% sure, I have more experience with recovering grub 1, not grub 2 [19:05] daftykins, not sure what AHCI is but yes windows made a 100mb partition for boot [19:05] ohir: well i have to reinstall anyways.........so do i make a seperate partioton for home im guessing [19:05] is a one shit [19:05] reactor, you have the windows driver already yes?

[19:06] reactor, have you tried wine or crossover? [19:06] boourns: i don't really want to buy a blue tooth earphone set but i might [19:06] shane2peru: I am not sure if I am using grub2. how did you know that? is that the default instalation with 9.10? [19:06] mobius2, I have removed WInblows right when I have my laptop unboxed :P [19:06] daftykins, lol ok will check now. brb [19:06] mediumone, koala uses grub2 by default [19:06] ugliefrog: before you reinstall check forums how to fix broken X [19:06] mobius2, wine? hmm but drivers won't work I think [19:06] shane2peru: oh okay [19:06] mediumone, in some regards grub2 is easier to recover [19:06] ugliefrog: would be shorter [19:07] reactor, I can't say I blame you there. But do you have the native Windows DRIVER file on hand ? [19:07] I have a Dell Inspirion 600m laptop. I have an ATI Mobility 9000 card in it.

And there are more options from within livecd [19:07] boourns: yeah it's annoying and not much i can do heh [19:07] boourns: wonder if a person could fix that by reloading a new bios? [19:08] mediumone, I learned grub 1 very well, triple booting and fooling around with linux, those are by gone days. [19:08] mobius2, yh it seems I do [19:08] okay [19:08] reactor, okay [19:08] shaneonabike, its possible. if i were you, i might give up and get a USB device to replace the onboard sound [19:08] reactor, have you installed wine?

[19:15] backtrack [19:15] spekko, to get around the 100MB strange boot partition from win7, I got a gparted livecd and then formatted a portion as ntfs for win7, as well as one for ubuntu (ext4) then installed them , win7 first then Ubuntu; prior to that I was having the same issue as yourself [19:15] What's wrong with linux live cds in certain computers? Here all of them takes so much time to load, all printing the same error: Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block... [19:15] sounds like a hard drive lock [19:15] spekko: i'm kinda getting the idea that what is happening, as i only just read you have two disks [19:16] PabloM, you may wish to try unetbootin [19:16] PabloM: unetbootin [19:16] spekko: is that you're installing one OS, booting the livecd, installing again and the bootloader of one is going to another [19:16] what's a hard drive lock? [19:16] bazhang, blakkheim : thx [19:16] spekko: do you want both OS's on the 320GB drive? [19:16] ibm drive lock etc [19:16] bazhang, i used gparted too to make my partitions but what next? [19:16] ugliefrog: ok do you have the 185 driver on right now? [19:16] a low level crypto, actually quite effective [19:16] daftykins, yes i want and have both OS's on the 320gb drive [19:17] daftykins: ill check in synaptic real quick [19:17] spekko, one continuous one for win7, without the 100mb /boot partition? [19:17] spekko: ok if i were you i'd boot the livecd, nuke the entire 320GB drive - disconnect the 1TB disk, install win7, reboot, install ubuntu, then check both work, then plug in the 1TB after :) sorry for the tedious idea but i think the disks are jumbling themselves up - i see it on a lot of SATA systems [19:18] ugliefrog: it should be in hardware drivers too if you installed it from activating there [19:18] I have a Dell Inspirion 600m laptop.

I have an ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 card in it. I have an s-video out thats going to my TV but i cant detect the TV as a monitor. Help? [19:19] spekko: what, on the 1TB disk? [19:19] spekko, a single (whatever size) ntfs partition; also daftykins idea seems to be good [19:19] daftykins, no on the 320gb [19:19] yeah so just boot the livecd and do manual partitioning [19:20] erUSUL: ? [19:20] daftykins, bazhang , so i make my partitions then install win7 and then ubuntu? [19:20] spekko, yep [19:21] spekko: no no no, boot the livecd, with the 1TB disk disconnected, nuke the whole disk - no partitions at all [19:21] Capcap, I remember having that issue in the past [19:21] then install windows to a custom size, so it's only one (or two with the 100MB) [19:21] I think you have to mess with aticonfig [19:21] then boot ubuntu and do its' own custom partitions [19:21] no creating ahead of time :> [19:21] daftykins, hmmm. thats basically the exact same setup i had at first [19:21] surge the problem seems common, the answer i cannot find [19:21] the 100mb is problematic for karmic installer it seems [19:22] mobius2, damn I can't find any drv on that disc >< [19:22] yeah I remember googling it on my dell laptop, different card of course === eaglewatch is now known as EagleWatch [19:22] but with the proprietary ati drivers [19:22] spekko: with only one disk in?

[19:22] either as a separate display or clone depending on resolution [19:23] surge im not using the prop drivers because i dont believe they support my card [19:23] bazhang, ok can u explain exactly how you got it to work? [19:23] uggh, yeah my problem is that it doesn't support my card on the newest kernel [19:23] I was fine in Ubuntu 8.10 [19:23] bazhang, blakkheim : apparently it's working [19:23] spekko: ah y'see i think it's the key element this time :) please try with only one drive in [19:23] bazhang, blakkheim : thx again [19:23] but I don't use svideo or 3d often so it wasn't a huge sacrifice [19:23] spekko, boot with gparted live cd; make one ntfs partition and one ext4 partition ; install win7 on ntfs then ubuntu on ext4 [19:24] reactor, okay [19:24] bazhang, that it? :O so simple? :/ [19:24] surge_, i dont use the svideo often either but i miss my 3D [19:24] spekko, though disconnecting the 1TB drive seems wise beforehand [19:25] if i have 4 G of Ram how match swap area i will need ? 10 G is it ok ?

My computer is all fine and I never had this problem in doors(I can play up to 4 of t [19:25] hose there simultaneously). Thought I could ask here about that.

[19:28] so if i have 4 G of RAM how match i should give to swap ? [19:28] CAPcap: /etc/X11/xorg.conf is what usually defines what driver is in use. if X epically fails, you'll want to delete that file so it reverts to standard. because by installing ATI proprietary one of the steps will be forcing the driver in that config to the new one [19:29] CAPcap: so you could just log in at CLI and delete it [19:29] CLI? [19:29] CAPcap: after backing up of course ;) [19:29] command line interface. [19:29] NoOneHere, with 4gb I believe you don't need swap. BUT!

[19:54] well iptables isn't the problem [19:54] I just did some googling, seems bridging doesn't work for wireless devices [19:54] hi guys how have I enable the s-video out in order to see my movies on my tv? [19:55] PinGun: no no idea, i have never found a solution to proper HD playback nor proper DTS and dolby digital passthrough audio over optical and digital coaxial on Linux. just gave up [19:55] I'm wondering if its trying to connect out through wireless [19:55] Hello how to set google chrome instead of firefox on the top [19:55] surge_: The VM's? [19:55] Hello how to set google chrome instead of firefox on the top on the panel [19:55] Hi, I need a trick around this, I'm having a mounted external hdd which is innactive and in sleep mode most of the time. Now whenever i browse my desktop folders, the desktop lags because it;s so stupid for some reason it's checking for my external, and it takes a 5 sec lag to browse my desktop forder in order to turn on my hdd. Maybe it;s because of nautilus, it starts all the stuff. dunno, did you guys noticed that ? [19:55] catzz, add the icon you mean? [19:55] yes yes! [19:56] catzz, grab and drag there? [19:56] nooo [19:56] when i click launchs firefox [19:56] well the bridge interface may be trying to use a wireless adapter [19:56] i need Google Chrome [19:56] instead of your ethernet card [19:56] i installed already! [19:56] which doesn't work, apparently [19:56] catzz, of course, you would need a launcher for chrome [19:57] which makes sense since the bridged device is working as an ethernet device [19:57] catzz: right click on the panel and hit add to panel [19:57] Can the workspace setting in 8.10 be configured to show different icons in different Workspaces?

[22:15] helper, can you rephrase your question its not entirely clear. You want to know how fast your CPU is? [22:15] rat_ : Fully understandable, I mostly installed Ubuntu and the KDe version of OpenSUSE to learn linux [22:15] A lot of the stuff I do is to learn how to do it and just to set it up in case I DO need it in the future [22:15] spekko, sweet [22:16] i have envyng installed; is it supposed to detect the new ati drivers? [22:16] usser, , i want to check the performance of the CPU if it's good or not good! ex: on windows i used to check CPU performance if it hit 100% mean something wrong !! here. i can [22:16] Cyber_Akuma, likewise [22:16] is there somone who are free and can help me with my screen problem? and with new ubuntu install..?

I get a MappingNotify event with xev when I'm pressing a media key [22:18] hello all [22:18] helper, yep top is good but not as user friendly as htop [22:18] I followed a guide on howtoforge for setting up a MySQL Auth for a Pure-FTPd server, when trying to connect with my new acc I only get "pure-ftpd: pam_unix_auth(pure-ftpd:auth): check pass; user unknown", why is that?

(just thought of a 3rd) why are you not using a shared /boot so you only have 1 menu.lst and grub install to maintain ? === nintnint is now known as tittysprinks [22:28] what's a good cd burning app for ubuntu? the lame default one didnt even ask me how i wanted to burn, and just burned it as an mp3 disk instead of converting it to cd format === tittysprinks is now known as nintlint [22:28] !burn | infid [22:28] infid: CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, brasero, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast (GNOME), wodim (terminal-based).

[22:29] ty [22:29] oh no not that early please [22:29] Meway: go with a "light" version instead of just an old one [22:30] ikonia: and I thought that grub2 was easier? Especially since how it generates the menu.lst from a bunch of preconfigured files, I thought it might help keep the opensuse config updated as well (I plan to have grub2 use it's config files from the ubuntu partition) and I have had nothign but trouble trying to create a seperate boot partition in the past.... multiple times [22:30] slart ok thx [22:30] as I said Meway, releases from 6.06 through 9.10 are at releases.ubuntu.com === asschunks is now known as cankle [22:30] ымы === sircrazyone is now known as sircrazy [22:30] yea ty Trek :) [22:30] Meway: xubuntu is one of the lighter from the ubuntu people.. there's also DSL and.. that openbox one.. crunchbang [22:30] ubuntu-ru [22:30] puppy [22:30] #ubuntu-ru [22:30] Slart about half a gig of ram === cankle is now known as shatner [22:30] help [22:31] v12_ type /join #ubuntu-ru === shatner is now known as nintnint [22:31] Cyber_Akuma: intersting, I think you'll suffer with grub2, as the config files are in /etc/grub on the ubuntu box, so when you update grub from ubuntu, how is it going to read the suse partition to know to add/update it, and the same from suse, if you update a kernel in suse, how will it update the /etc/grub file on the ubuntu partition [22:31] Meway: bah.. that's not too bad [22:31] #crunchbang is a great one for lightweight, using openbox [22:31] Slart any suggestion? [22:31] Meway: crunchbang or xubuntu [22:31] Meway: there are so many distros out there.. many of them are really good.. [22:32] xubuntu uses the ubuntu meta stuff which, IMO bloats it, while crunchbang uses minimal gnome components to ensure its lightweightedness [22:32] slart I really like ubuntu [22:32] Listen to Matt Darcy! [22:32] help :( [22:32] Meway: then give xubuntu a try.. see if it handles well on your machine === shazbotmcnasty is now known as Shazbot [22:32] Slart: ok ty :) [22:33] ikonia: "how is it going to read the suse partition to know to add/update it" I don't know, thats why I wanted to know if it was possible from grub2, I am not that expirenced with linux, especially grub, yet. I don't want to have to manually upddate the kernel in menu.lst every time I update opensuse [22:33] sircrazy: yes.. unfortunately it's hard to tell where the bloat stops and what makes ubuntu good starts === nintnint is now known as MacGuyver [22:33] really. Am I beeing blind here. Isn't it like dead easy to start a ftp-server i ubuntu? I thought there were like "Services" or something where I could start things like ftp, ssh, mysqld and so on [22:33] help please? :p [22:33] ikonia: and trying to use opensuse's version of grub just srabmled everything [22:33] Cyber_Akuma: if you use a shared /boot partition (both suse and ubuntu are aware and can auto update it) there is only 1 menu.lst to manage, [22:33] koltroll: ftp services aren't as easy as you'd think..

I don't know if there is anyone with a gui from the default install [22:34] ikonia: I can't make opensuse updahe the boot files on ubuntu's partition? [22:34] Cyber_Akuma: if you use a shared /boot you can [22:34] Cyber_Akuma: (and grub1) [22:34] ikonia: or chainload (is that the right word?) opensuse and let it manage the files on it's own partition? [22:34] 0_0 slart lmao 6hr remain :) [22:35] Slant, oh well ;/ but is there a easy gui for enabling / disabling ssh ? [22:35] koltroll: I used pureftp on my little box.. [22:35] Slart, if you want XFCE, try xubuntu, GNOME, try ubuntu, openbox, try crunchbang. openbox is the lightest of the 3 because the xfce in xubuntu uses the ubuntu desktop stuff which is bloat, whereas if you installed ubuntu-minimal with no de, and installed your own compiled xfce, it will be just as light if not lighter, than crunchbang and openbox === MacGuyver is now known as d1g1t [22:35] koltroll: not that I know of.. install the openssh-server package.. then have a look at its config file.. it's not that big === d1g1t is now known as nintnint [22:35] Slant, will do. thanks alot [22:36] about 10.04 # is? [22:36] ikonia: Honestly, id prefer it if grub loaded some OTHER bootloader for ubuntu or opensuse (like it does for windows) and ubuntu and opensuse just messed with THOSE config files, so that the actual kernel file dosen't have to be in menu.lst [22:36] hi there! i need help cuz ubuntu cant read my swap partition that i just created [22:36] ikonia: seems like a logical way to have multiple operating systems to me [22:36] !lucid | infecto [22:36] infecto: Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 2010 - Lucid is NOT released and is NOT stable - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [22:36] the only "issue" with crunchbang, is that it is still on 9.04, and will probably not have a 9.10 release, but there is really nothing wrong with 9.04 [22:36] Cyber_Akuma: it's called "chainloading" [22:36] Cyber_Akuma: go what ever way you're most comfortable with, it's all personal taste, just wanted to make sure you understood the pros/cons of what you wanted to do [22:36] sircrazy: but what if I like what you're calling bloat.. one mans bloat is another mans features (s/man/woman if you feel like it) [22:37] i mean bloat as using up resources [22:37] Trek: thanks [22:37] taking away from the "lightweight" factor [22:37] ikonia: Oh, im just asking, I am not sure what would be smart and stupid to do, most of my computer knowledge is from dos and windows, I am new to linux [22:37] how to enable swap partition under ubuntu? [22:37] Cyber_Akuma: try out what you want to do, see how you get on, and if you have problems we'll try to either fix it, or push it more towards what I was suggesting, but without moving away from your solution [22:37] !swap | supercagnotto [22:37] supercagnotto: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [22:38] the xfce in xubuntu is not lightweight because of the ubuntu desktop stuff, while standard xfce is lightweight, as is openbox, they use small resources, while GNOME uses a lot of resources [22:38] an example, on crunchbang i boot using 65mb of ram, on ubuntu with GNOME, i use 200 [22:38] ikonia: I don't know how to do these things actually, thats why I was asking if these different possible methods would work, so then I could get advice on how to do the best recommended one === EtienneP is now known as EtienneP[NotOnCa === EtienneP[NotOnCa is now known as EtienneP [22:38] sircrazy: xubuntu isn't supported in this channel, it has its own channel [22:38] sircrazy: this isn't really the right channel for this..

[22:39] sorry ive been tabbing the wrong person then [22:39] sircrazy: nope.. it was meway [22:39] Cyber_Akuma: triple boot makes no difference, windows->suse->ubuntu [22:40] anyone could help me to install kyocera FS-1016mfp printer on ubuntu? [22:40] ikonia: Ubuntu comes with grub2 now though, why do you dislike grub2 btw? I soulden't be able to dualboot this system if it wasnt for grub2 === user is now known as Guest42738 [22:40] how come I can only have sound through one program, and sometimes after that flash has been used in firefox, mpd wont play at all [22:40] oh, lol, i get so lost in all the names flying by, i hope Meway got what i wrote, i was trying to just explain the differences [22:40] I run 9.10 workstation, and am trying to find out how I can boot to a terminal login screen instead of the default GUI screen, effectively terminating X until I want it to load manually. Anyone? [22:40] Cyber_Akuma: grub2 offers no technical advantages, and the implimentation makes it harder to control multi-linux install systems [22:40] Guestdo you use hardy¿¿ [22:40] do you* [22:40] tad1: uninstall gdm [22:40] sircrazy: i saw [22:40] ikonia: This system is very old and dosen't support lba48, the os drive is 160gb and ubuntu is installed past the 132gb barrier, if it wasnt possible to make grub2 to use the apci modle instead of bios, it would not be able to load [22:40] It was not Slant. [22:40] agg, Guest42738 do you use hardy¿¿ [22:40] Though, maybe someone with my nick from earlier? [22:41] oh.. [22:41] sorry slant, it wasnt you or slart, it was someone else. :) [22:41] my mistake [22:41] lol fail [22:41] Slant: sorry for waking you up there =) [22:41] LOL! [22:41] Cyber_Akuma: yes it would, /boot should be the first partiton, then it won't go base the barrier [22:41] xangua, karmic [22:41] Man, I'm really loving paints new ribbon interface in the new Ubuntu 7 [22:41] ikonia: I tried doing that, it still coudlent load boot... anyway, is grub1 still on ubuntu 9.10 as well? [22:42] * charbel bye [22:42] I found a nice one I am familure with :) === Vlet_ is now known as Vlet [22:42] what's ubuntu 7? [22:42] Cyber_Akuma: I think you can still select grub1 for 9.10 [22:42] isolat3dsh33p: doesn't exist [22:42] The new version of the thing [22:42] nintnint: what ? [22:42] damn =_= [22:42] ikonia, thanks ;) [22:42] the new version of the software, duh. [22:43] nintnint: no it's not, ubuntu 7 doesn't exist and it's not new [22:43] 123 [22:43] nintnint: try ##windows [22:43] ikonia: The problem with creating a boot partition is that all the partitions are already created and defined, it would be very difficult and tricky to create a new one, ESPECIALLY at the beginning of the drive, not to mention I would have to keep cleaning it out when it got too big from older kernels [22:43] The one with gnome and microsoft office 2010 and conky and its so popular its lame? [22:43] does thunderbird 3 not work on ubuntu? [22:43] pea[PC], yes it does [22:43] then why is it not in the repos? [22:43] a troll :D [22:43] !latest | pea[PC] [22:43] pea[PC]: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports. [22:43] Cyber_Akuma: I take your point [22:44] pea[PC]: Add Mozilla Daily PPA and it will be added to the repositories. [22:44] #ubuntu-ru [22:44] wait. [22:44] ikonia: And I need the vista partition (which is at the beginning of the drive) intact for the Win7 upgrade to work, last time I tried to use linux tools to modify it they corrupted it, and windows only lets me mess with the END of a partition [22:44] what is ubuntu then? [22:44] pea[PC], things take longer to get into ubuntu repos, add the mozilla daily ppa to your sources and get it from there [22:44] thunderbird 3 is rather nice [22:44] nintnint: you know what it is - it's a linux distribution on ubuntu.com - don't mess around [22:44] nintnint, a linux distro, duh =_= [22:44] i did download it from the mozilla server but i'm not sure how to use it [22:44] ikonia: Now you see why im so confused and not sure of what to do XD [22:45] isn't linux a fruit [22:45] Cyber_Akuma: you can move data around with tools like gparted, but I understand your fear to do so [22:45] How do I get uuntu to recognise a USB-internal device I just ejected again? [22:45] Ubuntu* [22:45] nintnint: Yeah. It is a fruit. You're right on the money. [22:45] i use this command but i don't see any new thunderbird 3 wget -O - http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/releases/latest-3.0/linux-i686/en-US/thunderbird-3.0.tar.bz2 | tar xj -C ~ [22:45] nintnint: Yes, a very tasty one [22:45] Silly typo. [22:45] pea[PC], you probably got the source, do a google search for "thunderbird 3 mozilla ppa" [22:45] nintnint: google for "linux" or go to wikipedia and look it up.. if you've got questions after that you're welcome back [22:45] and follow those directions [22:45] ok [22:45] all that.. for nothing [22:45] Slart: sorry [22:45] hi [22:45] Slart, too late :) [22:46] ikonia: Thats exactly what caused the corruption actually, I tried to move the windows partition and it was unbootable after that, restore tools didn' [22:46] t work on it [22:46] kinja-sheep pea[PC] install latest stable mozilla's products with 'ubuntuzilla' [22:46] !ubuntuzilla [22:46] .... stupid enter key [22:46] ikonia: no worries.. I didn't wear my keyboard out entirely =) [22:46] mmm nithing [22:46] nothing* [22:46] Cyber_Akuma: you're going to have to take some risks or you'll get no-where [22:46] I am trying to play Cod4 in Wine and it keeps saying I don't have enough shaders for DirectX 9, anyone know why? [22:46] I'm installing the new kernel update. Forgot to read the description :( [22:46] xangua, what's that? [22:46] for the record, if ninnint was right, and linux was a fruit, it'd prolly taste real good and i'd eat it, but alas, it is not a fruit [22:46] program? website? [22:46] how come I can only have sound through one program, and sometimes after that flash has been used in firefox, mpd wont play at all. ubuntu 9.10 [22:46] ikonia: Is there any disadvantge to placing the boot partition after the windows partition? or in an extended partition? [22:46] anyone here have to create jails? [22:46] will an old cdr drive read a cdrw? [22:46] im like baffled as to how to do this [22:47] everything ive tried fails [22:47] Cyber_Akuma: nope, unless you hit the old lba barrier as you suggested earlier [22:47] ikonia: The windows partition is primary, all the other partitions are in an extended one..... I should have mentioned tha tbefore, my mistake [22:47] ikonia: That system is new, lba wont be a problem [22:47] pea[PC]: used to be a script, now is a repostory :), it downloads and installs directly from mozilla's site firefox, thunderbird and seamoney [22:47] Guest42738: it's complicated.. make sure you're using pulseaudio in your applications.. then it should work with several sound sources [22:47] Flashlite, yes, it should read it, but you cant burn anything to it [22:47] I am trying to play Cod4 in Wine and it keeps saying I don't have enough shaders for DirectX 9, anyone know why? [22:47] Cyber_Akuma: no problem then [22:47] I have some really wierd issue with my keyboard [22:47] rat_: not fully supported video card ? [22:47] ikonia: So I coudl just shrink the ubuntu parition and add a boot partition to the beginning of the extended partition? [22:47] if anyone has time to help with a complex problem, please read http://pastebin.com/f1fc94ed7 and give me your thoughts! [22:48] Guest42738: plain alsa sometimes only plays one sound at a time.. depending on hardware and setup (or it used to be that way.. they might have changed stuff around) [22:48] When I press a media key alt_gr gets somehow unmapped as lvl3 key [22:48] ikonia: So then how do I set it up, just mount it as /boot for both ubuntu and opensuse when isntalling them? [22:48] ikonia, no idea why it runs compiz and all that just fine, the game works fine in Windows [22:48] Quick question: [22:48] Cyber_Akuma: correct [22:48] Is Ubuntu based on Debian? [22:48] rat_: because you're using wine [22:48] Slart, how do I make all programs use pulseaudio then? [22:48] Cod4, read the description in AppDB [22:48] symetrik: quick answer, yes [22:48] symetrik, at its roots, yes [22:48] rat_: compiz is native, wine is not [22:48] ikonia: Argh, just remembered, ubuntu is already installed and ill just be upgrading it, how do I modify the bootpoint to be /boot instead of / ? [22:48] heh nice same length answer Slart , HIGH FIVE [22:48] Guest42738: well.. you can start by changing the system, preferences, sound [22:48] sircrazy: =) [22:49] Slart, oh, but why isnt that default? [22:49] Cyber_Akuma: you'd have to create a /boot partition, copy /boot on your ubuntu file system off to the new /boot, update your fstab then re-install grub, reasonable effort [22:49] Guest42738: or sorry.. that was in the old ubuntu version.. you're running 9.10, right? [22:49] Guest42738: I thought it was, honestly [22:49] Slart, yes [22:49] ikonia, any idea how to get it to work? I have even tried updating my driver [22:49] ikonia: update fstab is the only part of that I didn't get [22:49] rat_: is it supported [22:49] Guest42738: gstreamer-properties > in audio tab select pulse as the default plugin [22:49] really. copying from an external harddrive... 30MB/s. that's just..slow. isn't it? [22:50] ikonia, I don't know how would I find out? [22:50] Cyber_Akuma: /etc/fstab on your ubuntu install to tell it to use a seperate partition [22:50] rat_: ask the guys in #wine-hq [22:50] :( I cannot get thing this thingie to work; http://www.ltcom.com/page/FAQ/6in1-InternalCardReader.htm I can see the four thingies in computer://, but I cannot access any of them. [22:50] ikonia: is it self-explinatory? (e.g. will I see some kinda option like "boot=/" and change it to "boot=/boot" or something along those lines?) [22:50] lol on what irc? cause if its in free-node theres only one person there lol [22:50] koltroll, that is damm good for usb... if its esata, its a bit slow... could be fragmented. [22:50] Guest42738: some applications can only use alsa.. it's different from application to application. Flash should use pulseaudio if I remember correctly.. at least it does that on my system [22:51] Cyber_Akuma: have a look, it's pretty clear [22:51] rat_: #winehq sorry [22:51] ikonia: Also, I know I would need to install windows first, but what do I do after that? install opensuse then update ubuntu, or update ubuntu and then install opensuse? [22:51] ikonia, will try right now thanks [22:51] jamesd_, it's usb. Really? That's damn good? [22:51] ikonia: Last time I told OpenSUSE to not install a bootloader it did anyway.... one whose windows and ubuntu options were broken..... === CupofDice is now known as RedBand [22:51] Slart, now I changed from default to pulse, hope this solves it. tired of killing firefox to start my music, or the other way around [22:51] Cyber_Akuma: install opensuse, then update ubuntu, you have have to make a few tweaks to ubuntu post suse install [22:52] ikonia: I see, thanks, what kind of tweaks? [22:52] Cyber_Akuma: that's a suse issue - speak to them that their installer is broke [22:52] anyone know a good program for a capture card? [22:52] Cyber_Akuma: couple of grub tweaks depending how the install goes [22:52] koltroll, the specs for usb2.0 is like 23MB/s ... i guess your measurment is a bit offf. [22:52] is anyone here available to help with a complex, multi-faceted multi-platform problem? please read http://pastebin.com/f1fc94ed7 if you can! === Abomination is now known as abomination [22:53] koltroll / javesd_: I get 8.5 MB/s so yeah... [22:53] koltroll / javesd_: on USB2.0 [22:53] how to enable kms on lucid after upgrade from karmic? [22:53] jamesd_, as far as I can see the specs for usb2.0 is 480mbit == 60MB/s [22:53] dbl: reads like a hardware issue on your video card [22:53] i theory, koltroll [22:53] koltroll, oops the max effective is about 40MB/s but its unlike to reach that speed [22:53] in theory, koltroll [22:53] ikonia: would there be any reason to keep the boot files on the ubuntu partition after I make a seperate one? (you said to copy them instead of move them) and how big do you recommend I make the boot partition? Is there any way to make it auto-clean old kernel files so it dosen't get cluttered? [22:53] http://www.everythingusb.com/usb2/faq.htm#4 [22:54] Trek, well of course [22:54] Cyber_Akuma: no, you can delte them [22:54] as such, koltroll, you'l NEVER reach those speeds because its only a THEORY [22:54] iknoia: what about the problem with windows though? ive tried booting after taking the card out and using onboard and its the same issue [22:54] as such, koltroll, you'l NEVER reach those speeds because its only a THEORETICAL speed [22:54] dbl: problems with windows also point to it being a hardware issue === dbl is now known as futurama140 [22:55] Hi, I set up SVN and checked out using SVN+SSH on the stand port, now I've changed the SSH port. How do I update my SVN settings to connect using the right port? [22:55] This question isn't exactly linux specific, but does anyone in here have fiber optics? What type of router do I need? [22:55] !ot | RedBand [22:55] RedBand: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [22:56] Well, what type of fiber optics router works with Ubuntu then. [22:56] RedBand: try ##hardware perhaps [22:56] Thanks Slart [22:56] RedBand, you might ask about fiberoptics on a different server (one I am on as well) [22:56] name of the server? [22:56] it's okay, i'll find it. Thanks. [22:57] ikonia: I see I am not going to be able to fully figure out what to do before I install everything since the post-opensuse tweaks will depend on what happens, guess ill me back once I do the upgrade, need to finish with this system first, thanks for all your help [22:57] Cyber_Akuma: we'll be here [22:59] -,^ [23:00] Hi. [23:00] hi [23:00] I've found Ubuntu video [23:00] http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=J4nJQfVknzg [23:00] Its strange [23:00] q0k: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:00] i'd like to install ubuntu on a windows XP laptop (full install, not within windows) and i have already defragged the hard drive. i am unclear as to what the community website says. do i have to use GParted now to resize the windows partition, or can i just install ubuntu directly using the "largest contiguous space" option?

[23:01] wait [23:01] ikonia, okay the people at winehq have no help lol [23:01] domino14: select the "user entire disk" option for a full dedicated install [23:01] futurama140, this may not solve your answer, but it may help others, i fixed all of your typos and grammar, this may make solving the problem clearer. http://pastebin.com/m3d53a396 [23:01] http://paste.ubuntu.com/369825/ [23:02] Its strange. These are gloomy somber dark colors of the GUI (when logging in). How to change them? [23:02] rat_: wine is an odd one [23:02] ikonia, i know that just can't figure out why its not working [23:02] domino14: it's useful to have separate partitions not only for / and /swap but also for /home, so you can upgrade ubuntu without need to backup your user files [23:03] terminhell: no i want to dual-boot [23:03] rat_: maybe it's not supported ? [23:03] VCoolio: so i should use GParted ? [23:03] rat_: lots of newer games/software can take a while to get supported [23:03] rat_: not all cards are fully supported [23:03] http://paste.ubuntu.com/369825/ Its strange. These are gloomy somber dark colors of the GUI (when logging in). How to change them? [23:03] I mean time 6:57 === [BNC]Brendan is now known as [BT]Brendan [23:03] domino14: that's what I did, but I think the installer also provides opportunity to make partitions; but I never did that so can't help with that [23:04] domino14: i wouldnt use the largest continous space. it will leave no room left for windows. Instead move the slider accordingly. It give atleast 10gigs for ubuntu. [23:04] ikonia, well anything I can do to get this game to run in Linux? [23:05] ok, i think i will use GParted just in case [23:05] If you hear me say it. Otherwise I will have to quit. Just say something like "I'm gone to see it" or "wait, q0k" or something else. I feel very strange right now about my question and the things I hear instead of answer. [23:05] rat_: I don't know, I don't know if it's supported, I don't know if your card is supported/stable, wine is not a solution, it's a lucky work around [23:06] hi, can ubuntu desktop be easily set up to act as a private cloud or is it only the server edition that can do that? [23:08] when does lucid release [23:08] is there a way to print out all environment variables? === B3rz3rk3r_ is now known as B3rz3rk3r [23:08] terminhell: April, IIRC [23:08] why is thunderbird 3 called shredder?

[23:09] ffs [23:09] how to install realtek audio drivers? [23:09] pea[PC]: which I've not seen in ubuntu repos :\ [23:09] how to install realtek audio drivers? [23:09] !repeat | mathesdat [23:09] mathesdat: 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. [23:09] Bizzeh: I'm curious to know what you mean by private cloud [23:09] pea[PC]: if you find the final packaged in ubuntu repos (or a ppa) would you let me know? I want to upgrade too [23:09] this is what happens when i follow online tutorials [23:09] ok ok [23:10] don't stress [23:10] anyone know why this nslookup command might work on redhat but not ubuntu: nslookup -sil ser.ver.ip.address www.google.com [23:10] POC|Farmer, espegro: printenv is it, thanks [23:10] that nslookup command ignores the server parameter on ubuntu [23:10] quietone: a cloud, that is private. as in, setting up my own internal one [23:11] hi all, I need to make a dual boot (xp and linux), what do you recommend: separate physical disks or one disk w/ logical volumes? [23:11] but pc speaker i too [23:11] but i have problem in instalation linux [23:11] Bizzeh: that was a bit circular for me. what functionality do you want? [23:12] Anyone know how to disable (only) one wifi card from network-manager? I want one for internet access and one for aircarck tools. [23:12] i just installed ubuntu and was wondering how do i run the synapic package manager? [23:12] how do i boot into the console in 9.10? [23:12] ifconfig (dev id) down [23:13] Is there a way to provide a restricted shell on a server that can only sftp put/get? (or something like that... just transferring files allowed) [23:13] tad1, do you always want to boot to console? or just once? [23:13] always [23:13] tad1, "sudo mv /etc/init/gdm.conf /etc/init/gdm.conf-disabled" [23:13] espegro: but you may need to do more than that to make certain cards go into listen mode. read up. [23:13] kevin [23:13] Already got it? [23:13] Mike_lifeguard: you can restrict the commands that can be run via ssh, it's in the sshd_config file [23:14] Bizzeh, I don't know whether you were answered in this mess, but I know that without cloud computing you are much more independent. It is much better to store your files right at your hard drive than at a external Internet web server. There, virus attacks, or fires can happen. You and your files are too far to feel confident. [23:14] quietone: we have nearly 200 computers in our office, would like to unify them all and use all their hdd's all their processing power, all their ram [23:14] hey [23:14] i tried to install ubuntu [23:14] but it doens't recognize my partitions [23:14] q0k: thats why im asking about setting up a private cloud and not using a public one [23:14] in which i hae windows installed [23:14] Bizzeh, I only know about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_One private 2GB cloud [23:14] ntfs support alexxio [23:14] terminhell: I know, It can do it manually, just want my 500mw external usb adapter to not interfere with my onboard card.

We know have a local mail service and a calendar (which is great for us) [23:16] how thic could happen? [23:16] alexxio: click install on the desktop [23:16] alexxio: do you have more than 2 primary partitons? or more than 4 logicals?

[23:18] ok... lemme se... [23:18] is it difficult to add a hard drive in buntu installation, after the initial installation? How to go about the permissions to the new disk? [23:18] AJHunter: usually a "make" "make install" "install" [23:18] i don't hear any audio in a videogame.... what can i do? [23:19] AJHunter: or "sh install.sh" if that file exist [23:19] how can i convert mp3s so i can burn them as an audio cd?

[23:20] AJHunter: but look over the source files first. cant be to careful [23:20] it says to switch to the directory and type make install [23:20] alexxio: gparted will show those flags [23:21] gparted say all gray [23:21] AJHunter: use 'checkinstall', it will create a deb and install that; will be easier to remove [23:21] that is no partitions found [23:21] but my windows system works fine [23:21] alexxio: do you have more than one hdd? [23:21] can I have ssh via emails? [23:22] In the terminal?

They don't have much to do with each other...

Decrypt on mail from workstation to server , Yes you can if your app and server support it. [23:24] have hardy heron netowork manager, mobile broadband tab?

[23:27] Hi [23:27] hi sebsebseb [23:27] Losha: Hi :) [23:27] eduardo: perhaps, if your lucky your wifi card is supported out of the box [23:27] i should have an option to select the partition of format just tat, but i havent... [23:28] alexxio: you may have too many partitions, only t hing i can think of [23:28] Losha, any ideas? script to check for mail, script to send mail...? [23:28] terminhell: Dont think so. Installation didnt detect any network devices. [23:28] ok so i'll try to remove some partition.. [23:29] eduardo: you may have to wire it momentarilly after install to get any dev drivers. then you should be set [23:29] alexxio: what are your 2 primary paritions? [23:29] OK... I'm trying to do this, but it says to input my password. when I try to type, nothing appears on the screen. [23:29] AJHunter: dont worry thats normal [23:30] acovrig: exactly, scripts to do it all. I don't know of any offhand except maybe listserv software but see e.g. http://www.techniqal.com/blog/2005/11/14/how-to-run-a-script-from-email/. Beware of opening a *huge* security hole doing this.... [23:30] according to whatlosha just said, 1 and 2 are primary [23:30] AJHunter: just type it in and hit enter [23:30] Guh... [23:30] I need help with grub2 [23:30] it doesn't boot [23:30] "Sorry, try again." [23:30] but that's strange, gparted should recognize even if i had so much partitions [23:30] er, it doesn't automatically boot and the entries are all kinda weird [23:31] alexxio: what is it you're trying to do? gparted doesn't always work.... [23:31] AJHunter: yea, you pushed to many buttons thinking it was broke :p just hold backspace a few seconds [23:31] losha: i just want to install ubuntu on one of those partitions [23:31] grumbly: i had to manually correct grub2 once, was a pain [23:31] can somebody help me? i can't login to my Xubuntu desktop but i can get into GNOME, when i select Xfce if just takes me back to the login screen over and over. I can however get into Xfce with a brand new user i just created. [23:31] but it say i have no partitions, it say my whole disk is unallocated, so it want to format it [23:31] "sudo: checkinstall: command not found" [23:31] i don't hear any audio in a videogame.... what can i do? [23:31] to get grub2 to boot, i have to change the parameters EVERY boot [23:32] also in firefox [23:32] terminhell: i'm out of ideas [23:32] alexxio: ok, which partition? [23:33] grumbly: after you fix the menu.lst from uuid's to the more sane version theres a post install command you gotta run. i forget it but yea [23:33] grumbly: mount /boot and edit them permanently [23:33] sda5 or 7 are big enough [23:33] Hi, my karmic updated, i can see the kernel "2.6.31-19" in my /boot/grub/menu.lst, but uname -r shows me "2.6.31-17-generic" [23:33] My mom's kicking me off. gotta go! [23:33] terminhell: it doesnt use the menu.lst [23:33] what do i need to make k3b convert mp3s to audio cd? [23:33] Bizzeh: tried that [23:33] thats right... [23:33] alexxio: do you need a swap partition too? How much RAM do you have? [23:33] the fact is also that ubuntu system recognizes the partitions, i can mount them [23:34] I'm just going to revert back to grub [23:34] Losha, what was that link you gave acovrig? I lost wifi [23:34] i already have a swap partition, i have 3gb of ram [23:34] sory grumbly, i used grub2 only briefly === edogawa_ is now known as edogawa [23:34] terminhell: yeah... I' [23:34] m on the same page [23:34] ? [23:34] infid: dunno if k3b does that. You may need to convert them manually using 'lame' [23:35] acovrig: exactly, scripts to do it all. I don't know of any offhand except maybe listserv software but see e.g. http://www.techniqal.com/blog/2005/11/14/how-to-run-a-script-from-email/. Beware of opening a *huge* security hole doing this.... [23:35] infid, k3b-extralibs i think [23:35] thanks === accovrig is now known as acovrig [23:35] can I run a notify-send with cron? [23:35] infid, libk3b3-extracodecs [23:35] infid, sorry [23:36] Hi, my karmic updated, i can see the kernel "2.6.31-19" in my /boot/grub/menu.lst, but uname -r shows me "2.6.31-17-generic" [23:36] I'm using ubuntu 9.10 from a usb. I have sound. My sound control icon disappeared. When i try to access "sound" from System>Preferences>Sound... I get a window that says "waiting for sound system to respond" How do i repair it? [23:36] usser: that says it wants libk3b6-extracodecs [23:36] what file do I edit to disable tty's? [23:36] why would you do that? [23:37] $ apt-get update: Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13: Permission denied) - I just edited my repositories to install tor, and i was trying to refresh them with the apt-get update command, which didn't work [23:37] oh, ignore that, forgot to sudo [23:37] * robertpolson facepalms [23:38] alexxio: ok, so you need to choose 'manually partition' during install, and tell it to put / on /dev/sda5 and swap on /dev/sda. Just make sure you don't accidentally choose partitions 1 thru 4. Actually, if I were you, I'd backup anything you don't want to risk losing before you start, in case it all goes horribly wrong.... [23:38] ganja: yes, if you specify display [23:38] sarthor: your not using the highest kernel ver? [23:38] hello [23:38] how do I do that? [23:38] losha [23:38] hello ton [23:38] um..... [23:38] ganja: add a line on top of crontab -e like this: DISPLAY=:0.0 [23:38] say could I have some help ^^ [23:38] losha: the partition manager say the whole disk is unallocated!!! [23:39] !ask | ton [23:39] ton: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [23:39] http://pastebin.mozilla.org/701256 is a screen-shot. It's strange. These are gloomy somber dark colors of the GUI of Ubuntu (when logging in). How to change them? === c is now known as charitwo [23:39] losha: so the manual install don't work [23:39] VCoolio: thanks I will try [23:39] alexxio: are you sure its the correct disk? Do you have more than one? [23:39] yes [23:39] of course [23:39] srr... kk here's my question: how to get to "system settings/tools"? : bc its not under "applications" [23:40] alexxio: you could goback into windows, and manually format one of the paritions to fat32 and see if buntu detects it [23:40] ton have you tried "System" ? [23:40] ok [23:40] that's a right suggestion [23:40] thank you [23:40] http://pastebin.mozilla.org/701256 is a screen-shot. It's strange. These are gloomy somber dark colors of the GUI of Ubuntu (when logging in). How to change them? Somebody said it's "boot screen themes", where is the official place to download them? Please help. Thank you in advance. [23:41] VCoolio: thanks a lot :) do you know where I can find a documentation about this var? [23:41] @B3rz3rk yes, I'm specifically looking for some recently installed software, VirtualBox, which is supposedly under System Tools [23:41] How do I find out what version of Wine I have installed? [23:41] q0k: gnome-look.org is a good place to start [23:41] losha: i have a screenshot to make you see i'm not crazy [23:41] alexxio: dunno why the partition manager won't see the partitions. That's very scary. Presumably something odd about your disk. Maybe because the first partition is a dell utility partition? Back it all up, then you can experiment to your heart's content... [23:41] terminhell, using karmic. here is my grub.conf http://pastebin.com/m56658bb6 [23:41] ganja: sorry no, it just works ;) if get notified each hour :59 to listen to the news and that's it [23:42] alexxio: I would like to see the screenshot (not that I think you're crazy...) [23:42] sarthor: having booting problems [23:42] I am trying to share files between computers one is ubuntu the other is xp and I mounted the xp drive in ubuntu and I am trying to us the mv command and I am also going through .gvfs but I get permission denied .. why? [23:42] q0k: it's a new version of gdm in karmic, rather untweakable unless you use this (hang on, will give a link) [23:42] sarthor: sorry i cant view links, im not using a gui. but you may have to uncomment the newer kernel [23:42] terminhell q0k: gnome-look.org is a good place to start It's not an official site, I think. [23:42] losha: no there is nothing about dell partition because i already installed different linux version before it gave this error. now, neither mandriva nor ubuntu load or install [23:42] it was to not miss the begin of a movie :) thanks again [23:42] VCoolio: q0k: it's a new version of gdm in karmic, rather untweakable unless you use this (hang on, will give a link) I'm waiting [23:42] q0k: ubuntu-looks then [23:43] losha: i know that's scary, that's why i asked here :) [23:43] sarthor: or just install 'startupmanager' [23:43] ton, ok probably easier to just ask that up front next time ;) If its not there, then you need to make sure that its actually installed properly [23:43] q0k: https://launchpad.net/gdm2setup [23:43] JustGage, no, uname -r shows me 2.6.31-17-generic, while 2.6.31-19-generic is there, and uncommented, and 2.6.31-17-generic is commented but still my karmic shows. [23:43] losha: this is the image: http://yfrog.com/0xscreenshotjrtp [23:43] alexxio: I assume there's something odd about the partitioning, but that's just a guess... === willie_ is now known as rosco [23:44] Hello, where is applications>system tools located in Ubuntu 9.04? [23:44] losha: if you zoom it up, you will see sda is the same in both the parted and terminal windows.. [23:44] sarthor: just comment out the old kernel and uncomment the new [23:44] i'm trying to set up privoxy to use with tor, does anyone know how to do this? apparently it's already installed... [23:44] ton, easiest way is to remove and reinstall. if you need help with that just shout [23:44] terminhell, i did that already, but i am wonder, its not wroking, may be some other grub is in use? [23:44] anyone got an idea? [23:44] so thank you [23:44] B3rz3rk, uninstall the software, not Ubuntu, eh? [23:44] see ya [23:45] :) [23:45] thanks for help [23:45] so I've installed easy peasy (aka ubuntu-eee) and it refuses to update from jaunty to koalic. I suspect something's up with /etc/apt/sources.list but I don't know what to look for or how to fix it. [23:45] alexxio: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:45] VCoolio: thank you. I've bookmarked the link. :) [23:45] ton, are you canadian? ;D [23:45] ton, are you having problems with Ubuntu or just seeing virtualbox in the menu? [23:45] ups, sorry === good is now known as fiber [23:45] VCoolio: are you using this package yourself?

[23:45] q0k: yes, works fine [23:45] not canadian =_= [23:45] alexxio: yeah, that's really scary. Dunno why it's happening.... [23:45] lol [23:46] VCoolio q0k: yes, works fine - give a screen-shot of your login screen? [23:46] anyway I don't know where the "system tools" is and yes I want to know where the software installed to [23:46] sarthor: hmm, still install startupmanager and see if it fixes anything [23:46] terminhell, JustGage i installed startupmanager too, it dont show the 2.6.31-19-generic, in the list. while you can see in my menu.lst [23:46] where the shortcut is? [23:46] when I run 'apt-get dist-upgrade' nothing happens. how do I update to karmic koala? === fiber is now known as nayquil [23:46] nope, I don't have /etc/mail, I just apt-get install mailutils [23:46] q0k: ah, how to do that again? there used to be a gdm preview app [23:46] invisime: save files and reinstall [23:46] !upgrade | invisime [23:46] invisime: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [23:46] i just upgraded to karmic and when i go to reboot the login screen flashes and i cant type [23:46] is there any way to roll it back [23:47] ton, ok, sounds like it hasnt installed properly.. so go and uninstall it and then install it again [23:47] Anybody know how to make an nvidia geforce 8600 gs work? When I put it in the machine, the machine just gives me a blank screen upon boot.

[23:47] I?m using lxde how can I manage users& grups gui way [23:47] B3rz3rk3r, Okay, I'll try that, just I guess there's more than one way to install: If it installs properly will I see it under system? [23:48] ton yes [23:48] k thx bye ;) [23:48] mlissner, did you face such problem in these days. mean, 2 or 3 days. [23:48] ? [23:48] lol [23:48] mlissner: you may have to disable the onboard video in the bios first [23:48] <[BT]Brendan> Movie player seems to just crash as it's trying to open when I try play my Mighty Boosh DVD. === mac is now known as GO [23:48] sarthor: im still not sure why you have such problems. Try reinstalling it again. === GO is now known as Guest24809 [23:49] terminhell, reinstalling what? kernel or startupmanager? [23:49] anyone know how to edit a read-only folder? [23:49] sarthor: the kernel [23:49] even mozilla's respos only has thunderbird alphas [23:49] <[BT]Brendan> Oh I think I need some plugins to play it. [23:49] robertpolson: make it writable [23:49] did someone know what is depends of gvfs to read ftp locations [23:50] terminhell? how would i do that? [23:50] terminhell, i dont konw how to reinstall, that was installed just with update. [23:50] ? [23:50] chmod 0755 [23:50] i'm new to this, but you can probably tell [23:50] robertpolson: what folder and why? [23:50] /etc/privoxy because I need to edit the config file. [23:50] terminhell, dont know how to remove that update back, and update again. [23:50] sarthor: does this look familiar? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/464591 === Guest24809 is now known as machine [23:50] is there any way to roll karmic back to jaunty, i upgraded and now my login screen flashes and i cant log in?\ [23:50] e01 I am trying to do the same [23:50] jrib ^^ [23:50] robertpolson: gksudo gedit /path/to/file [23:51] sarthor it should be in synaptics list [23:51] crazyeric: afraid not, downgrades and ubuntu doesn't happen. [23:51] anyone familiar with the flashing login screen then? [23:51] !downgrade [23:51] Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system.

[23:52] sarthor: it's a known issue. in other words, live with it, rollback (you *did* backup your system, right?) and wait, or use a different computer. :P [23:52] it was already open, is that the problem? [23:52] crazyeric, do you happen to have nvidia & a hauppauge tv card in your system?

[23:55] try su [23:55] somebody use dell inspiron 1440?

[23:56] mlissner: its neither. If its a newer mobo it may do it automatically. My suggestion is more an oldschool fix. [23:57] Do any one know what too do ? Can not wake up from suspend mode I only have a black screen no singnal having a ati card. [23:57] I tried using two different methos so far smb://d1zcbh91/scripts/ and some one told me to use the real hidden path .gvfs and that gives me a permission denied rather than directory doesn't exsist [23:57] goddard: Are you tab-completing the destination path, typing it in manually, or providing it with drag and drop? [23:57] installing ubuntu 9.10, but not working button eject cdrom... [23:58] hey people. I need a hand with a webdav setting.
