(yes I had to compile it) [00:44] I got the message "init: bootchart main process (478) terminated with status 2" [00:44] idleone, yes. i was very careful about allowing it to fully charge before doing any battery only operation [00:44] if you want ic an explain the situation better on a private message [00:44] does the new grub still have a user editable boot file? [00:44] if you want ic an explain the situation better on a private message it is hard for me to keep up with all the chat in here and my baby lol [00:44] tanderson: i guess it's too easy a target for pranks - known user and no pass etc [00:44] as i always do with new li-ion batteries [00:44] promet1: that was my only guess, sorry can't help more. [00:44] dusty1 first impression would be that grub is causing the issue [00:44] Does anyone know if Runes of MAgic runs ok on Virtualbox?

[01:39] ZykoticK9, I now have xorg.conf in /ect/X11 === FeasibilityStudy is now known as Parah_Salin [01:39] chelz not so required these days but when it arises you bet [01:39] Hi. I'm trying to install opensource drivers for ATI cards (mines a Radeon HD 4870). How could I do this on Ubuntu 9.10? The proprietry ones do not work with my card in order to enable compiz [01:39] Am I asking in the wrong room? [01:39] chelz: http://paste.ubuntu.com/370629/ [01:39] chelz: dmesg doesn't show all the started processes by rc... :( [01:39] ShifftyOne, You can view the partition but actually determining what distro it is is sorta tough [01:39] chelz: after that when i change in prefences video output i get that fatal error thing [01:39] can someone please help me, i'm trying to change the permissions for my gimp folder so i can copy brushes [01:40] kay, bye [01:40] SuperDefenderX: wrong OS sounds like [01:40] denis123: https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa [01:40] kcj1993, cool man - have fun [01:40] Okay. I will just wipe it then. [01:40] chelz: the strange thing is that if i do a swapon /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 after i login it works and load the swap...it just doesn't work at boot.. [01:40] I was hoping to find out what distro it is and try to restore it. [01:40] zilkomaa: there should be a lot more tahn that [01:40] chez, No. MicroWinX is for linux basd distros. [01:40] is there any option to delete image files from a camera in f-spot? [01:40] lifesengine, do you mean chmod? [01:40] i'm trying to extract custom brushes into the folder but i get this message: [01:40] You don't have the right permissions to extract archives in the folder "file:///usr/share/gimp/2.0/brushes" [01:40] lifesengine: where is the gimp brush folder? if it is outside of your /home directory then copy using "sudo" .. as in sudo cp [01:41] chelz: k, sec === tato is now known as tato_ [01:41] SuperDefenderX: where did you hear of it? [01:41] ShifftyOne, can't you install GRUB and then get it to boot? or is the distro damaged? [01:41] Chez, I was looking for a replacement for Xorg. [01:41] Izinucs: i'm terrible with locations, i don't know what command to use [01:41] lifesengine, try the sudo command, or use: man chmod [01:41] Would you like the url? [01:41] chelz: http://paste.ubuntu.com/370630/ [01:42] . [01:42] I am new to all this. I had the drive in another PC and I let someone have the PC and put the drive in this PC as a second drive. [01:42] Anyone able to help with an update error? [01:42] ShifftyOne, Tell your bios to boot that harddrive instead of your windows HDD [01:42] ShifftyOne, Sounds like that HDD is totally fine. [01:42] ShifftyOne, I was under the impression it was on a seperate partition, if you make it the primary HDD (as edbian suggested) then you can have a look. [01:42] Is there someone that can help me to increase the screen resolution in 8.04 I have already installed the graphics driver however I have a huge black space down the side of the screen and it is stuck on 720x480 [01:43] wow active in here:-) [01:43] mika__: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1301766&highlight=mounts+%2Fetc%2Ffstab [01:43] ShifftyOne, Watch the jumbers too! [01:43] how do i change the permissions of the folder [01:43] lifesengine: if you are careful ... really careful.. you can gksudo nautilus and use the file manager to do it.. changing the permissions on the directory is more difficult and problemmatic [01:43] SuperDefenderX: xorg is used by pretty much everyone. but sure, i'll take the link [01:43] i want full acess [01:44] melonie, I have a machine that wont go above 640x480 and I had it on 1024x768 the other day, dont know what happened. [01:44] i can use the file manager to copy them in? [01:44] lifesengine, chmod. [01:44] where is a good place to find someone that is amaising at porting drivers for ubuntu? [01:44] lifesengine: you could use 'sudo mc' and use the mc filemanager to copy things there. [01:44] lifesengine: its 'best' to install user stuff in the proper place in the users home dir. Not system wide. [01:44] edbian: Why are we watching me? [01:45] chez - Sorry, I got the name wrong. lol. It's MicroXWin. http://www.microxwin.com/ [01:45] i am trying to cross compile italc on ubuntu 9.10 , "you do not have installed libz and/or development-files are missing!" [01:45] Dr_Willis: sudo mc is an invalid command [01:45] jumbers, I was talking to somebody about the jumpers on their hdd [01:45] lifesengine: for example i put my brushes in -> ~/.gimp-2.6/brushes [01:45] jumbers, he meant watch the jumpers (on an IDE HDD) [01:45] libzzip-dev is installed [01:45] lifesengine: install mc.. or as i just said - put the brushes in the proper directiory in the USERS home [01:45] edbian: Ah, okay then :P [01:45] I just switched to this one and for the life of me I can't figure out how to fix it [01:46] helo there i use the Janitor o clena and old kernel but the kernel still in the grub menu, where is the menu file so i can revome the old kernel [01:46] Dr_Willis: i'm brand new to ubuntu, i have no clue how to use any of this stuff [01:46] hi, where is a good place to find someone who is amaising at porting drivers for ubuntu? [01:46] Dr_Willis, rather than using mc, cant you just do sudo nautilus? (ive done it a few times) === sebi_` is now known as sebi` [01:46] knoppies: ive seen sudo nautilus break things [01:46] knoppies, Yeah, but you gksudo for graphical sudo. [01:46] edbian, I dont, Ive never had problems, is there something I dont know? [01:46] lifesengine: then like ive been saying.. DONT put stuff in the system directorys.. your USER has a .gimp* directory. copy the brushes to the proper place in there. [01:46] Anyone know why the repositories are telling me signatures are invalid? [01:47] hey guys I have been trying to install skype for ubunut and I have ran into a huge problem and I tried to google it, but not really even sure what they mean. I am brand new to LINUX, my issue is when I try and install skype I get this error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libasound2 [01:47] lifesengine, open up nautilus, - [01:47] Dr_Willis: yes, but i have no permission to copy it there [01:47] zilkomaa: are you able to play any videos? or just only not xvid avis? [01:47] chelz: And i installed mplayer from this guide: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/install-mplayer-and-multimedia-codecs-libdvdcss2w32codecsw64codecs-in-ubuntu-9-10-karmic.html [01:47] hrm [01:47] ? [01:47] no one here knows? where i can find people good at porting drivers? [01:47] lifesengine: your user should have permission to do things in their own home directory - Unless you are doing somthing wrong [01:48] I found what distro it is and will try to restore it. [01:48] i must be, this makes no sense...i even went through gksudo nautilus and tried to copy [01:48] After downloading xorg-edgers PPA via Update Manager, is it installed automatically, or do I have to do something else? [01:48] lifesengine: /home/USERNAME/.gimp-2.6 is my users gimp dir. [01:48] Also I can't even view Youtube videos [01:48] it still says i have no permission [01:48] chelz: I can play with movie player .mkv files [01:48] doesn't seem to be lifesengine's home, he posted /usr/share/gimp [01:48] lifesengine: I suggest you never do gnsudo nautilus it can really scres things up. [01:48] ShifftyOne, nice. [01:49] You don't have the right permissions to extract archives in the folder "file:///usr/share/gimp/2.0/brushes" [01:49] Dr_Willis, what was that other file manager you suggested? [01:49] !module | ravenxbishop1 [01:49] knoppies: i always use 'mc' as my root file manager [01:49] and why is my gimp 2.0? [01:49] i have the latest ubuntu [01:49] Dr_Willis, thank you [01:49] !modules | ravenxbishop1 [01:49] ravenxbishop1: To compile modules and drivers that are not bundled with the standard kernel, for more info /msg ubottu kernel , install the relevant package, usually called "-source", and run « sudo module-assistant » (you will have to do this again after kernel updates). To prevent specific modules from loading, see /msg ubottu blacklist [01:49] lifesengine: you are confuseing the SYSTEM gimp directory with the USERS gimp directory [01:49] oh, well how do i find the one on my user side? [01:50] lifesengine: theres really no need for you to be putting things in the SYSTEM gimp directory [01:50] zilkomaa: there might be an issue with the way mplayer is trying to output video. might try asking the medibuntu people [01:50] lifesengine: /home/USERNAME/.gimp-2.6 is my users gimp dir. (for the 3rd time) [01:50] !medibuntu | zilkomaa [01:50] zilkomaa: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [01:50] lifesengine, why are you trying to extract brushes to the global folder ? just use the one under your home folder [01:50] what is the "load average" in top, my first assumption was a percentage, however ive seen it go over 1.00 so that cant be correct [01:50] nixjr: dual core. :)? [01:51] man I have no idea as to what you guys are even talking about, my problem seems simple lol [01:51] my home folder is virtually empty [01:51] SuperDefenderX: you might be into Arch linux, or linux from scratch. or suckless [01:51] besides a few programs [01:51] conner_: 'crawl, walk, run' then fly.... [01:51] :) [01:51] i dont see gimp at all [01:51] lifesengine: note the . befor the name? its a hidden dir.

[01:51] Hi room [01:51] lostinspace_46, that much is obvious [01:52] lifesengine: use the show hidden files item in the file manager window.

They are also visible in System/Administration/Software Sources/Other Software. However, they are not visible under the Origins tab in Synaptic. Why would this be?

[01:55] Hey Dr. Willis, I still got the same error [01:55] but I did run the apt commands [01:56] How does the inode size of a filesystem affect it? I want to format a partition with an inode size of 128 (bytes?) and it is currently 256. I know I will have to reformat it and that 256 is the standard inode size for ext4, but what is the difference in application [01:56] Guest42232: not working here. chromium with flash 10 [01:56] FoolishOwl, ah my mistake, i misread your last message as "processors" not processes [01:56] also this is th ename of the file skype-ubuntu-intrepid_2.1.0.81-1_i386.deb [01:56] Thats strange [01:56] its working on a windows box right beside me [01:56] If I don't type "chclient eth0" after boot I don't get internet.. how do I get this to autoboot? [01:56] Anyone have any ideas? I have a white border around the entire desktop; tried changing the background and other various things, nothing seems to get rid of it. It can be overlaid however, so it's definitely something being drawn, not a monitor issue - the mouse cursor can "block" a part of it when it's over the border. [01:56] Guest42232: change the firefox useragent to show its IE perhaps. [01:56] I tried it on Fedora too and no lucj [01:56] luck [01:56] Guest42232: or is it working in FF on windows?

When 8.10 was out the boot cd made the inode size 128 by default [02:01] well its cbc its a reputable source [02:01] SecondInfinity: what program is that anyway? [02:01] I could complain, but they probably wont pay attention [02:01] SecondInfinity: you could use a shared ntfs to share data between linux and windows. or fat32 [02:01] Guest42232: if you dont complain they defainatly wont [02:01] Guest42232: every bit helps [02:01] Ext3 IFS. Ext2fs doesnt really work as well as I would like [02:02] thats true [02:02] I think there's a general problem that some video codecs aren't available in Linux, mostly for legal reasons. [02:02] !ifs [02:02] poor linux :( [02:02] Im not sure how much 'codecs' affect flash... [02:02] You can buy some codecs from fluendo I think [02:02] They arent cheap but it is better than nothing [02:02] so im not sure that any codec stuff will help flash at all === pauljw_vm is now known as pauljw [02:03] The quicker we move to html5 the better.

I think the restricted extras installs a different version or adobe's version.. not the nonfree version.. [02:05] Maybe its something got to do with a live stream?

The iPods should support ogg but they never will because everything on an apple device has to be controlled by apple [02:06] Izinucs: no, it installs the exact same version (although it will also accept adobe-flashplugin if you have previously installed that before installing ubuntu-restricted-extras, but you would have had to do it manually) [02:06] !av | ujkanovic [02:06] ujkanovic: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [02:06] YouTube has a html5 trial at http://youtube.com/html5 if you are having problems.

Like I said though, I have privacy and openness issues with Chrome [02:16] chelz: i'm not - it was only as a last resort (i managed to get my webcam working in flash for firefox by first enabling it via sudo then reverting back to normal firefox, you see) [02:16] Guest42232: good Luck with that.. your cpu will be so overloaded. it will be scary [02:16] chelz: didn't work anyway :P [02:16] Guest42232: like 133 Mhz?

[02:17] The package management system -- apt-get and so forth -- is really good about maintaining the integrity of packages, i.e., applications and their supporting files.

[02:19] Pent I + freedos = serial terminal :) [02:19] I am just wondering... I dont have a old box setup yet [02:19] chelz: thanks, i owe you one./ [02:19] what would you use an old pc for a distro that is only CLI for anyways? [02:19] Am I paranoid to have privacy issues with Google Chrome or do I have valid suspicions?

Nothing is happening when I click import! [02:19] My laptop has a Blu-ray drive but I've read that currently Ubuntu does not support playing these movies and was wondering whether or not we will see better support for Blu-ray in 10.04 and whether there will be a "push" to be able to view Blu-ray movies. This is, so far, the only obstacle preventing me from using Ubuntu. [02:19] chelz do you know why aa 3 is not for linux [02:19] ?? [02:19] rick_: ssh in, run htop, just watch the loads.. :) [02:19] chelz: i've got my middle aged MUM using it :P [02:19] Dr_Willis you lost me [02:20] subspider: you'll have to ask them [02:20] rick_: you can browse the net in text browser, gmail, listen to internet radio [02:20] SecondInfinity, things chrome doesnt have that firefox does (in addon form): 1) save page as png 2) page clipping to local file 3) doesn't allow pages at the uri : file:/// to save to local drive (tiddlywiki) [02:20] chelz, true. I think the deb and rpm systems are the best, though. [02:20] Is there a way to use whole disk encryption with Ubuntu Netbook? [02:20] ok chelz [02:20] thaks [02:20] rick_: i have serial terminals - and so forth run serial cable, or use network. and you got a spare console [02:20] Seems it has bad keys, is there an easy way to just update the keys? [02:20] SecondInfinity: i don't use chrome over chromium because of privacy concerns [02:20] help with QGIS and GRASS please [02:20] cort: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGIS [02:20] chelz after reseting X resolution changes to 1440x900, as I already said xorg.conf is set to use 1680x1050 [02:20] Oh yes another thing I was wondering...you know how in UBuntu the screen gets dark when you dont use it [02:20] Dr_Willis basically a dumb gui terminal then? [02:21] Guest42232: its the screensaver [02:21] rick_: err.. NO gui at all.. its a 'serial terminal' :) [02:21] Well I disabled it [02:21] chelz have not found the answers there [02:21] rick_: just like you got on the 'console' [02:21] chelz: Yes, that is correct, older machines are often very inefficient in terms of power usage. However, Linux installations generally seem to work better on older hardware, probably because they aren't tied to the advancements in the hardware industry (Intel comes out with new gear, Microsoft makes their OS a little less optimized) [02:21] What is the difference between Chrome and Chromium [02:21] cort: what issues are you experiencing [02:21] rick_: there are 'X terminals' also that can do GUI/X but those are a little rare these days [02:21] SecondInfinity: Chrome is based on Chromeium. Chromeium is open source, Chrome is closed source [02:21] Guest42232: there is an option in the screensaver menu called energy settings, there is set that dispplay is disabed after 30 minutes [02:21] tobi_: do you have intel, nvidia or ati? [02:22] chelz nvidia gf 7800GT [02:22] I will wait, have to go for a bit thanks for the help provided so far.:-) [02:22] Dr_Willis okay thanks. I don't think I'll ever be doing/needing that type of setup ever. [02:22] chelz -- unstable version installed and running. can't get grass pluggin to show up in pluggin manager [02:22] rick_: it can come in handy at times [02:22] tobi_: do you have nvidia-settings installed? [02:22] rick_: kernel dev's use it all the time i hear. [02:22] chelz haven't had this problem with 9.10, it started happening on mint 8, of course I am [02:22] The good old days of serial cables, nullmodem cables, and zmodem protocals.. [02:23] sebsebseb: I see. Yeah, closed source is not nice. What operating systems is Chromium available for? [02:23] Dr_Willis i'm far from being a kernel Dev. I'd rather make a stripped down kernel into a car pc or something of the sort. === Freeaqingme is now known as Guest31337 [02:23] hi to all, do somebody know how to install mysql on ubuntu [02:23] tobi_: have nvidia-settings save a new config [02:23] jmp_: sudo apt-get install mysql-server [02:23] hello [02:23] rick_: i used serial cables the other day to transfer stuff to/from my AMIGA. :) [02:24] !mysql | jmp_ [02:24] jmp_: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP.

I do it system wide. First edit /etc/ld.so.conf as root and add this line: [02:24] Now do: [02:24] sudo ldconfig [02:24] cort: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:24] phil-j: fire up a vnc client and try it out? thats the ultimate test. [02:24] Dr_Willis well if you found a usb port on an Amiga i'd wonder how you frankenstien'd that into it!!!

[02:27] so has anyone heard any nice features that are supposed to be present in the next Ubuntu release, 10.04? [02:27] I haven't been keeping us [02:27] up* [02:27] Also when I plug my camera in I get two import photo dialogue boxes put up - neither of which work.

Long term support? [02:28] mdg2: nope, just stating that this channel isn't for mint support [02:28] !lts | SecondInfinity [02:28] SecondInfinity: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04). The next LTS release is scheduled to be !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [02:28] berlo69 , qu'est ce qui ne va pas? [02:28] Dr_Willis: I know VNC sessions should be sent over SSH. I was just wondering if anyone had a spare screen they can throw me to see if I configured my router right [02:29] So, in actuality, what does LTS mean? [02:29] hello i would like to encrypt a file how can i do this? [02:29] phil-j: ip, then i will use nmap to check if 5900 is open [02:29] Dont we already get support for Ubuntu? Isnt that more important for businesses or organizations using Ubuntu? [02:29] SecondInfinity: see what ubottu told you about lts [02:29] iceroot: 62.56.123.67 [02:30] SecondInfinity: suport = security fixes [02:30] looks like your screen name is already encrypted, kepp it up [02:30] SecondInfinity, "support" in this case means updates, etc. [02:30] SecondInfinity: LTS are supported for 3 years (or 5 on the server) instead of the usual 18 months [02:30] BlackDalek: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Photos [02:31] any reason why I can't view Youtube videos? [02:31] phil-j: port is filterd [02:31] SecondInfinity: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Photos [02:31] er [02:31] SecondInfinity: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS [02:31] So that means that 10.04 is going to be reliably stable [02:31] phil-j: so the firewall/router is blocking it [02:31] hmm better questions if i encrypt something with kgpg which are the chances of someone accessing that file? [02:31] SecondInfinity: yes. for people that want a longer upgrade cycle [02:31] say i use a long password with numbers symbols capital letters [02:31] conner_: try the google chrome browser (or the latest firefox) and the html5 'testing' feature. :) been playing with that all week [02:31] iceroot, then how to launch it, [02:32] I dont mind the 18 month upgrade cycle but I guess for businesses or something it would be great [02:32] !encrypted | asdfasdfasdfasdf [02:32] asdfasdfasdfasdf: For information on setting up encrypted private directories (8.10+) see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory [02:32] okay [02:32] asdfasdfasdfasdf: that its not possible to crack it within a human life-time [02:32] Anyone got any tips for staying awake ?

[02:32] Yixter: #ubuntu-offtopic [02:32] SecondInfinity: instead of upgrading every six months, you get to upgrade every two years. It's a pretty nice benefit of LTS. [02:32] ;) [02:32] asdfasdfasdfasdf: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords [02:33] Can someone please tell me why i would like to use ubuntu instead of say vista? iv tried it and i dont see the point? [02:33] iceroot, i dont want to use a encrypted folder/partition, i need to backup this file to a dvd [02:33] iceroot, I want to create data base using mysql queries [02:33] asdfasdfasdfasdf, gpg can do single files [02:33] I kind of like having new features every 6 months [02:34] !freedom | Yixter [02:34] iceroot: My VNC server is on port 5500 [02:34] Yixter: freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing [02:34] SecondInfinity: Then you'll likely choose to stick with the regular six month upgrade cycle [02:34] !av > Yixter [02:34] airtonix, good can it be cracked in human life time? [02:34] Yixter, please see my private message [02:34] good point, but besides that issue, what actaul advantage? [02:34] GnuPG is good for encrypting files, as well as email using enigmail+thunderbird or evolution [02:34] asdfasdfasdfasdf, install seahorse and gpg, then you can right click on a file in nautilus and select encrypt [02:34] !truecrypt | asdfasdfasdfasdf [02:34] asdfasdfasdfasdf: Truecypt is a free open-source on-the-fly disk encryption software. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TruecryptHiddenVolume [02:34] i mean, as far as im concerned i got windows free with my computer [02:35] Why would someone prefer a longer release cycle, the hassle of setting the system up? [02:35] Hello [02:35] asdfasdfasdfasdf, depends on the encryption strength you use [02:35] gthumb's import photos function is NOT working. NOTHING is happening when I click import.

[02:38] asdfasdfasdfasdf, are you using 9.10 ? [02:38] I'll try that, thank you.

[02:41] the HD stiil have the space that used to have for the other OS, but when I try to search documents, seems to be empty [02:41] SolarisBoy: right now i'm not using virtualbox... actually i purged virtualbox and tried to reinstall pulseaudio, but didn't work [02:41] airtonix, for both, still since i dont want to encrypt a folder/partition just a file to burn it to a dvd, it doesnt matter whether i use ubuntu or not :) [02:42] Nahsei, this might assist you http://www.ghacks.net/2010/02/03/managing-sound-in-ubuntu-9-10/ [02:42] when I boot from livecd, eth0 exists. when I boot from hdd, it doesn't. help?

Is it necessary to set the desired frequency on both? I am using the panel applet for this. [02:45] rick_: If they're installed (and not broken), then they've got all their dependencies. So, 'sudo apt-get upgrade' should tell you if you've got broken packages [02:45] kgs: CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor 2.24.1 [02:45] kgs if it's a dual core processor they should scale together automatically [02:45] rick_: apt does that automatically, as long as all the packages you've installed are through apt [02:45] chelz, What do you mean?

[02:46] ok, so i goit ATI drivers working (the offical drivers from the ati site instead of the crap that ubuntu gives you) and got crossover and steam running just fine too [02:46] nixjr: i hear handbrake is good [02:46] somebody have any dificult to install the dbdesigner in ubuntu 9.04? [02:46] rick_, It is not a dual core. It is an Intel Atom. I think it is a "virtual" dual core. Hyperthreading and whatnot. [02:46] chelz, if you read what kgs just typed, you will see that he/she is already using that [02:46] nixjr, converting to DVD MPEG is time consuming - depends on the CPU being used - it's cerainly resonable === vorian is now known as obama === obama is now known as vorian [02:47] my only pro0blem is with crossover and banshee. Crossover steals the sound module from every other applicationl is there a fix for this anywhere? [02:47] because mine appears starting DBDesigner... but nothing happens [02:47] airtonix: ah didn't see that [02:47] chelz, I already have the required software packages. They were included by default. [02:47] kgs: yes you have to set it in both [02:47] is someone going to explain me what happend between the upgrade and my other >OS? and how can I get it back? [02:47] heey [02:47] kgs IIFC the atom processor does have a dual core variant, so yo should be fine with whatever scaling program you find [02:47] I need help [02:47] I see. [02:47] kgs, this is something im interested in also (i have a hp mini 311-1018tu).... but i dont think the applet is the way to go. [02:47] I need to identify the brand and model of my cousin's ethernet adapter for Windows 7. [02:47] I've booted into Ubuntu [02:48] I'm wondering if there is a way to identify it [02:48] :P [02:48] VaultDweller, lspci [02:48] VaultDweller: check 'lspci' output for starters [02:48] airtonix, what do you see wrong with the applet? [02:48] ok [02:48] IronRoses: could be an alsa/oss issue [02:48] thanks [02:48] VaultDweller: then thers proberly some oher tools as well. but yiou mean to say that Win7 dident auto-matically see it? [02:48] I have ubuntu 9.10 server install with the desktop installed. I have an FX5200 and the nvidia drivers installed. The resolution used to be something above 1024x768 but after I restarted it, it has reset to 640x480 and I can't get it any higher. got any suggestions? [02:48] kgs, mainly that the applet expects to use /proc/acpi/* and there isn't much there for us to use [02:48] kgs i have ubuntu running on my laptop with an amd dual core processor and setting the speed on one core also automatically sets the speed on the other core at the same time [02:49] SolarisBoy: that webpage doesn't help me much... [02:49] rick_, I see. I will have to fiddle with it and see what works for my hardware. [02:49] knoppies: try dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg at a command prompt [02:49] Hello !!! how can see what type of sound card i got??? [02:49] knoppies: then restart x [02:49] kgs, what machine do you have ? [02:49] does anyone know how to use mpg123 to stream a music file from my server? I am trying: mpg123 dave@xxx.xxx.x.xxx:~/Music/song_i_want_to_play [02:49] airtonix, This is a Dell Mini 10v. [02:50] eastdallas, thanks. How do I restart X? can I just do a restart? === yy is now known as Guest98478 [02:50] knoppies: yes [02:50] airtonix, The applet seems to work for me. [02:50] airtonix in other words kgs has a netbook [02:50] rick_, ... [02:51] Hello !!! how can see what type of sound card i got??? [02:51] EastDallas, I did that in SSH and nothing happened. let me go have a look at the machine. [02:51] switch10_, i think you'd need to setup NFS/Samba/SSHFS to accomplish what you want [02:51] bow: lshw [02:51] b0w, you c an use "lspci" in the terminal [02:51] b0w: lspci -v (i think) and you see the part that says audio... [02:51] ZykoticK9: thanks [02:52] How do I login on irc? [02:52] knoppies: it won't really look like it does anything [02:52] b0w, "lspci | grep -i audio" might be a little easier to sort through [02:52] EastDallas, ok, thanks. its restarting now [02:52] knoppies: it will just return you to a prompt [02:52] hi [02:52] EastDallas, and then how would I load the desktop? [02:52] switch10_: I've heard good reviews of mediatomb [02:53] thanks ZykoticK9 [02:53] that did the work! :) [02:53] mdg2: is that some kind of file sharing client? [02:53] i installed the radeon driver from the xorg-edgers ppa, but now i want to go back and install xorg 7.4 and then the ati driver [02:53] bow if you want to find out what sound card you have and your used to windows, open up your "ubuntu software center" and search for "device manager". install that and it's basically the counterpart to windows device manager [02:53] airtonix, can you tell me more about this /proc/acpi business? [02:53] switch10_: its for mediastreaming [02:53] the problem is: i can't install Xorg 7.4 though aptitude [02:53] heyo -- I have a problem with wicd -- sometimes, if I leave the computer idle and come back, wicd can't find any networks, and the only way I could fix it was to restart [02:54] mdg2: sweet i'll check it out. Thanks [02:54] switch10_: your welcome :) [02:54] my sound stoped working after installing virtualbox... what should i do? the troubleshooters didn't help me much... [02:54] *through [02:54] quick question - i just installed a new ubuntu server with 3 nic cards. im trying to figure out why eth0/1/2 will not ping gw. resolv.conf is good, /etc/hosts is good, and /etc/network/interfaces is good, set to dhcp. is this typical of ubuntu-server ? to not allow ping gw? [02:54] hi would halo 2 for pc work on ubuntu via wine? [02:55] kgs, last night i tried looking for info about getting temp readouts... and controlling fan speeds... i first tried using lm-sensors but it returned nothing and there seems to be nothing relevant in the /proc/acpi directories [02:55] i tried to add myself to audio group, reinstall pulseaudio, modprobe... well, many things... nothing worked [02:55] kgs, have a look in your /proc/acpi directories, you should see some files there which can give data when you use cat on them. [02:55] jordy240, not looking good http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=8117&iTestingId=12382 [02:56] anyone having issues with karmic and nvidia graphics cards having low res? [02:56] i have a problem that needs solving.... [02:56] i took out the 2 other cards, and not familiar to remove their physical configs, and im using the on-board nic at present. 1. i set interfaces to eth1 now, since ifconfig said no card there for eth0, but did when i put ethcable into on-board card. little confused here. someone help me with residual configs or with adding on-board nic? [02:56] hexmare, nope! :) [02:56] thank you ZykoticK9 [02:56] meh. I'm out of here. I can't seem to find the recalcitrant soundfile, nor why it's playing only on one speaker. [02:56] airtronix :> what cards are you using? [02:57] right now im have error on cmdline tty0 stating,,, failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socke: no such file or dir [02:57] hexmare good luck, nvidia and linux is a black art sometimes [02:57] so i have this netbook with ubuntu netbook remix and a desktop with ubuntu 9.10. I'm laying on my couch with my netbook and i want to play some music on my speakers connected to my desktop(my desktop uses rhythmbox to play music). is there any software that can allow me to do this if im on the same LAN network? [02:57] EastDallas, it worked. Thanks. [02:57] how to reinstall onboard nic drivers? i guess is where i should start [02:57] Rick > I am finding that out. Laptop fires off no issue. Desktop , with 2 8800 gts, no go [02:57] anyone good? [02:58] !anyone > allowoverride [02:58] allowoverride, please see my private message [02:58] ubble to connect to system bus [02:58] oh ok airtonix thanks [02:58] dandaman1: thats doable with pulse audio and the right setup [02:58] hexmare idk about the desktops, usually you have better luck with regular nvidia graphics cards, but laptops (like mine) usually customize the nvidia hardware somewhat and makes supporting them in linux even harder === turtle_ is now known as tomatoes7 [02:58] dandaman1, setup an NFS/Samba/SSHFS share on your desktop, then it will be like the files are on the netbook and you can use any player you want [02:58] Dr_Willis: what do you mean the right setup? [02:58] hexmare, on my desktop i have a 8800gts 512mb, and on my netbook i have an Ion 256mb [02:59] airtonix: can you help our not [02:59] i can provide info easily [02:59] my ubuntu media players are not audibles,,,,,,,through my laptop speakers but are audible with my headphones....my laptop speaker is very much fine (i checked it) ..any body suggest me the solution for it............ [02:59] ZykoticK9: but then i will only be able to play music on my netbook speakers if im just using the files [02:59] dandaman1: set up the pulse audio settings properly on each box. You can then tell pc1 to putput sound to pc2 [02:59] just install [02:59] │ | paprefs and pavucontrol, set auth off in paprefs, then use the pulse gnome applet to set default pulse server to the server [02:59] Airtronix, running 2 8800gt on my desktop , and will only do 640x480 [02:59] allowoverride, since nic drivers are part of the kernel, you can start by trying to use a previous version of the kernel (if you still have them listed in your grub menu) [03:00] I have an issue - i can not ping gw. can someone help out? [03:00] hexmare, have you installed drivers? [03:00] airtonix: its a fresh install [03:00] no prev ver [03:00] hexmare, why are you running two? it has no appreciable benefit [03:00] dandaman1, sorry miss read you - perhaps you could just SSH into your desktop and run an app there - should output to your speakers (if the files are on the desktop)??? [03:00] hmm help me please [03:00] Dr_Willis: yeah but the music files aren't on my netbook, i want to use the playlists on my desktop, maybe a remote connection or something? [03:00] allowoverride: what's "gw"? [03:00] mdg2, gateway [03:00] ZykoticK9: yeah just came to that conclusion [03:00] route add default gw look familar? [03:00] dandaman1: you can run a media player on pc1. and have the sound to to the speakers of pc2 wasent that what you asked> [03:01] airtronix > 3 monitors [03:01] why are programs in linux, such a small download, compared to their windows equivalents? for example my windows copy of openoffice is several hundred mb, this linux one is <100mb [03:01] my ubuntu media players are not audibles,,,,,,,through my laptop speakers but are audible with my headphones....my laptop speaker is very much fine (i checked it) ..any body suggest me the solution for it............ [03:01] i wanna downgrade Xorg to version 7.4 [03:01] hexmare, ok understand now. [03:01] dandaman1: or use some remote share/thing i guess if you want to play the FILES from pc1 on a player on pc2 [03:01] Dr_Willis: no, the files are on the desktop, sorry bout that didnt specify, i can just do this with a remote connection [03:01] nixjr: because of how dependencies are handles [03:01] dandaman1: you can play/mount remote machines in a dozen differnt ways to access files [03:01] hexmare, its not something i've tried... I assume you've exhausted any results google provides ? [03:01] dandaman1, you might want to check out MPD as well [03:01] im gonna hop on unr gimme a sec [03:02] on windows right now [03:02] hexmare, try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [03:02] Airtronix > Only time I can get 1680x1050 is without nvidia drivers, and even then only 1 monitor [03:02] BUT i cant, because apt-get only shows xorg ver 7.6 [03:02] Dr.willis my ubuntu media players are not audibles,,,,,,,through my laptop speakers but are audible with my headphones....my laptop speaker is very much fine (i checked it) ..any body suggest me the solution for it............ [03:02] trying now [03:02] I have an issue - i can not ping gateway ip 192.168.1.1, can someone help out? [03:02] k lo k [03:02] ranjan: not really. ive seen peple in jhere befir with 'speakers vs headphone' problems. My speakers do have a headphone port.. so ive never tried it [03:02] there a way to force clear items from the tmp folder without restarting? flash keeps crapping out and leaving vids behind that can't be deleted, trashing and tossing them doesn't free up the space they're taking up [03:02] hexmare, then restart the PC. [03:02] hexmare: is that with the drivers supplied by ubuntu or the latest/greatest from nvidia? [03:03] allowoverride are you sure thats the ip address of your router? [03:03] hexmare, most of the stuff i see involves using xorg.conf which is ignored by ubuntu after 8.10 i think. [03:03] so, can someone walk me through troubleshooting? [03:03] hexmare, Hope it doesnt break something. Good luck. see you back here in a bit. [03:03] xorg.conf is not ignored. My nvidia settings are in mine [03:03] oh I am not going anywhere [03:03] knoppies my ubuntu media players are not audibles,,,,,,,through my laptop speakers but are audible with my headphones....my laptop speaker is very much fine (i checked it) ..any body suggest me the solution for it............ [03:03] I am on my laptop in here [03:03] Dr_Willis, excuse my ignorance, im trying to wrap my windows-mind around this, would a good comparison of a dependency be something like vb6 runtime, .net, jre etc? [03:03] desktop is whats thrashed ;) [03:03] rebooting that now [03:03] nixjr: yes and 100's of other little things [03:04] hexmare do you have nvidia graphics on the laptop? [03:04] yup, and that works fine [03:04] ranjan: run "alsamixer" in a terminal and see if everything is turned up [03:04] nixjr: see windows apps pop some installer that installs dx9 for example.. that you allready have.. well you just had to redownload it even tho you dident need it for that app [03:04] im serious. its a new ubuntu-server install, i installed with all 3 nics. and now im at the point where i will just restart the install and start again. it doesnt make any sense. matter of fact, this happend a while go. i did the route add default gw 192.168.1.1 , ipfconfig eth0 up, and nothing. [03:04] as for what versions I have tried, I have done 185 and 195.03 [03:04] is there a way to see why wicd was misbehaving? [03:04] hexmare which version drivers are you using? [03:04] nixjr: windows program/install problems are often becuase the makers dont include all the needed extra windows support stuff. [03:04] does openJDK conflict with sun-java-6? [03:04] ok so if i want to remote connect to my desktop on my netbook and get a graphical interface what should i be doing/using? [03:05] ranjan, I dont know why you highlighted my name, but no. Im going to assume you have your audio port unplugged when you say the speakers dont work? [03:05] the odd thing is, when in installed, it worked fine. static ip'd and all, but when i rebooted, it wouldnt ping yahoo.com or ip gw. [03:05] shrugs... [03:05] dandaman1: that wasent what you were asking about befor, [03:05] hexmare 195 isn't even supported by ubuntu yet is it [03:05] allowoverride, perhaps it just a typo but the command is "ifconfig" not "ipconfig" or "ipfconfig" [03:05] i know, but itll work [03:05] dandaman1: you can use the vncserver feature of gnome to do that [03:05] kk [03:05] ZykoticK9: i typed ifconfig eth0 up [03:05] rick let me double check what I have [03:05] used tab completion [03:05] hexmare my ubuntu media players are not audibles,,,,,,,through my laptop speakers but are audible with my headphones....my laptop speaker is very much fine (i checked it) ..any body suggest me the solution for it............ [03:05] dandaman1: if you can see the 2nd pc's monitor you could use syngery to just controll it from pc1's mouse and keyboard [03:06] is there a channel for easy peasy users? [03:06] rick , yeah 195.36.03 is available [03:06] brb [03:06] hexmare where at? [03:06] dr willis, chair in the way of the monitor :( [03:06] or does it matter? [03:06] nvidias site [03:06] hexmare: make sure if you install that, that you uninstall the nvidia bits supplied by ubuntu [03:06] Hi, when I boot I have this screen "Grub loading stage1.5" twice and it's slowy my boot down, how can I avoid this ? [03:07] im pretty sure this is not normal issue, and if your good, this should be a challenge. i really dont want to start from scratch and kill another 45 mins [03:07] Are there any good free dns hosts out there? === ________________ is now known as Guest60161 [03:07] allowoverride, use ifconfig to see the names of your network interfaces. My eth0 renamed itself to eth0_rename [03:07] allowoverride, I havnt worked out how to rename it back though, I just used my other network interface eth1 [03:07] lo is only showing now [03:07] SirStan: opendns is one of the fastest according to some article I just read a week ago [03:07] damn all this rebooting you would think I was on windoze [03:07] hi [03:08] allowoverride, use the -a option [03:08] scunizi: sorry; hosting. [03:08] allowoverride: sudo ifconfig eth0 up [03:08] knoppies: thats what i tried initially, still same thing. [03:08] hemare lmao your insulting linux now [03:08] allowoverride, ifconfig -a? [03:08] sero: sb. i did that by the way a few times. ill try again [03:08] allowoverride, if all you're seeing is "lo" that's loopback - would expain to being able to ping DG [03:08] hi i encrypted a file using 4096 and it generated a .asc file, now what i dont understand is that in options theres the export gpg password or even retrieve other persons passwords. so does this mean someone can just open the file retrieving the pass i created?! [03:08] ok, -a worked [03:08] I thought that would amuse you [03:08] show eth1 [03:08] hexmare: no reboot necessary .. when you install the nvidia drivers you have to be at cli with gdm shutdown.. install then "sudo service gdm start" to bring graphics back up [03:08] Dr_Willis: im back sorry [03:08] allowoverride: then it's sudo ifconfig eth1 up [03:09] allowoverride, are you supposed to be seeing an eth0 as well? [03:09] scunizi I had done that before I just tried with a reboot still no go [03:09] ok that good. [03:09] hi everyone [03:09] please help me [03:09] now, how can i tell my ip address? with ifconfig === Guest60161 is now known as asdfasdfasdfasdf [03:09] cuz its not showing any dhcp'd ip [03:09] hexmare: I missed most of the previous conversation.. what are you trying to accomplish? [03:09] anyone know how to stop maximized windows from going below the bottom panel in gnome [03:09] allowoverride, I would read man ifconfig [03:10] knoppies: nah, thats not gonna help [03:10] but thanks [03:10] scunizi , getting more then 640x480 out of my 8800gt graphics cards under karmic [03:10] First question: I cant seem to find any info to get my finepoint drive for tablet laptop to work on 9.10 [03:10] im pretty familiar with ifconfig [03:10] hexmare: lcd monitor or crt? [03:10] enough for this issue that is [03:10] allowoverride, Im not. [03:10] 21" lcd x 3 [03:10] knoppies: thanks [03:10] hexmare, nice. [03:11] @webdeveloppers: i've installed zend framework. now, how can i get it running? [03:11] knoppies will be a lot nicer ounce karmic uses them [03:11] hexmare, I assume that means the dpkg-reconfigure didnt work? [03:11] when i ping 4.2.2.2 network is unreachable [03:11] knopies no it didnt [03:11] I am about to downgrade to 9.04 [03:11] hexmare, it worked for me (one monitor, on an FX5200) but under gnome. [03:11] under gnome here [03:11] allowoverride: ifconfig [03:11] question - if i reboot, with ubuntu server automatically find that 2 nics are gone, and only one onboard nic remains? [03:12] :P [03:12] hemare just wait 2 more months and 10.04 will be out [03:12] dario what does top | grep zend show? [03:12] LOL [03:12] how can i have simple resolution of local domain hosts in an ubuntu-only network? i have edited /etc/hostnams but nslookup still won't work, because the domain is nonexistant (no surpise here, i made it up). does nslookup utilize the /etc/hostname file? [03:12] after i installed ubuntu 9.10 my laptop lost the sound but in window it is working [03:12] im remember in redhat, kudzu fixed all that [03:12] well I will just downgrade to 9.04 [03:12] First question: I cant seem to find any info to get my finepoint drive for tablet laptop to work on 9.10 [03:12] please help me [03:12] hexmare: by 3? three monitors? ok.. start with one leaving the others unplugged.. get that going first.. then add the next.. remember that there are really 2 different resolutions you're working with .. the size of X and the rez of each monitor.. X needs to be the size of the 3 put together.. xrandr handles a lot of that.. also nvidia-settings [03:12] hexmare, i have an 8800GT and it worked under 9.10 (and under 10.04) [03:12] !ask | asdfasdfasdfasdf [03:12] asdfasdfasdfasdf: 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. :-) [03:13] allowoverride, I would turn the machine off, then reseat all the PCI cards, and boot it up again, see if that helps. But I seem to know less about this than you do. [03:13] Fauntix First Question: what is a finepoint drive? [03:13] xangua, i asked my question up :) [03:13] anyone know how to stop maximized windows from going below the bottom panel in gnome [03:13] im pretty much explained what i did early quite well, sorry if you missed it, i tried to not make it too big a paragraph. [03:13] hey Dr_Willis is back [03:13] knoppies: did that [03:13] esicam my ubuntu media players are not audibles,,,,,,,through my laptop speakers but are audible with my headphones....my laptop speaker is very much fine (i checked it) ..any body suggest me the solution for it............ [03:13] Fauntix: no im not :P [03:13] ok , give me a min to climb under my desk to unplug these [03:13] still working ae86-drifter... the cursor dosen't jump on a new input line... [03:13] Hello, I recently updated the kernel from my karmic install to 2.6.27-19, I noticed that from Grub I was still loading from 2.6.27-16, so I removed 2.6.27-16, and now I can't boot :S, how can I fix this? === b0w is now known as zz_b0w [03:13] how do i find out the address of my desktop so i can ssh to it? [03:13] xangua, hi i encrypted a file using 4096 and it generated a .asc file, now what i dont understand is that in options theres the export gpg password or even retrieve other persons passwords. so does this mean someone can just open the file retrieving the pass i created?! [03:13] hexmare: don't do it while the computer is booted.. [03:13] dandaman1, ifconfig [03:13] dandaman1: echo `curl whatismyip.org` [03:13] after i installed ubuntu 9.10 my laptop lost the sound but in window it is working. PLZ PLZ Help [03:13] ty [03:14] basically i did the basics, but im missing something im sure for ubuntu server. i think its not the same as desktop 9.10 version. [03:14] shifty-tl: did you hold shift while the computer boots up? you should see the grub menu. [03:14] anybody home? [03:14] Sachse_Siechtum: No. :P [03:14] esicam, fresh install or upgrade? [03:14] Dr_Willis: Its for a tablet laptop ... Finepoint is the drive for the touch screen tablet [03:14] when i installed, the nic worked fine, went to the net, got all the configs, files so forth. the moment i rebooted, it wouldnt ping gw. this is something NOT right for sure. [03:14] alyssum, well the grub loads, but the entry for ubuntu disappeared, memtest and windows xp is still there [03:14] esicam, you might want to have a look at http://www.ghacks.net/2010/02/03/managing-sound-in-ubuntu-9-10/ give a couple of good tips for troubleshooting [03:14] Fauntix: means very little to me. Never seen/heard/used it. the forums might have info on it [03:15] ranjan: double click the sound icon on your panel bar so it brings up sound dialog [03:15] oh god did that suck [03:15] I got a problem: I just burned an .img file with nero linux...but when I put the cd rom in the cdrom drive I get this message: Method "Mount" with signature "ssas" on interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" doesn't exist [03:15] . [03:15] i googled the crud out of it [03:15] hexmare: do you also have 2 video cards? [03:15] (I'm using Xubuntu) [03:15] yes [03:16] if you tell me I need to pull one of them I think I am gonna flip [03:16] * hexmare snickers [03:16] is there a way to recover a partition table / MFT if chkdsk and testdisk fail? my ntfs shows as unallocated/ fdisk shows a missing block of sectors. im running photorec now before i try anything, can anybody offer any other sugegstions? help would be much appreciated [03:16] shifty-tl: i guess that your grub menu didn't get updated correctly the first time you installed the new kernel...well, you can manually input the line to boot up by pressing 'e' in grub. but have to look it up, i forgot all the options. [03:16] question - how to i reconfigure the onboard nic drivers? its a realtech semi RTL-0110sC/8159SC gigabit eth [03:16] mdg2 no changes ........yet [03:16] im starting to think that the nic is in gig mode, and the router is in 100 meg mode [03:16] Dr_Willis, i see the benefit of dependencies, breaking down one thing into many small parts, to avoid redundecy, but does having something in many small pieces make it slower? [03:16] zykotick9 it's fresh install, lap plays sound through headphone only in ubuntu and in windows, it works fine [03:17] ranjan: are you headphones plugged in right now? [03:17] allowoverride: lspci [03:17] ranjan have a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting [03:17] esicam, OH sorry - thought you had no sound at all -- don't know a solution for that (not the first time we've seen it tonight though) [03:17] question - is there a way to slow the onboard nic card down manually? maybe this is why. during install it was using 100meg eth, but switched to gigE on reboot [03:17] no [03:17] hexmare: that can also be an issue.. in the past, and still.. if you install with more than one monitor plugged in and more than one card things get goofy.. I think you're experiencing the "goofy" part of it.. you'll need to hand write a xorg most likely.. but if you don't have anything important on the machine.. get rid of one card and all but one monitor and reinstall.. then add one thing at a time.. [03:17] sero: i did that [03:17] alyssum, ok I'll try that, I did notice before I booted that the new kernel is no longer installed in /boot but somewhere else [03:17] mdg2 no [03:17] shifty-tl: you do have the initrd and vmlinuz files for the kernel in /boot right? [03:17] just typed in that input [03:17] alyssum no [03:17] allowoverride, its called duplex [03:17] grrr [03:17] ae86-drifter yep [03:17] ranjan: hoover your mouse pointer over the sound icon on the panel bar and see what it says [03:18] allowoverride: and? what it shows? [03:18] no nothing important on this particular drive [03:18] allowoverride: pastebin [03:18] shifty-tl: oh that would explain it. you need those files in their for the grub menu to be automatically updated. i think you can try copying them in there and regenerating the grub menu. maybe it would help to use the live cd to do all that first. [03:18] hexmare: my feeling exactly... however if you want some reading.. check out.http://superuser.com/questions/65989/ubuntu-9-10-3-monitors-setup [03:18] its a realtech semi RTL-0110sC/8159SC gigabit eth [03:18] mii-tool -F 100baseTx-FD eth0 [03:18] its a realtech semi RTL-0110sC/8159SC gigabit eth [03:18] is there a way to force clear items from the tmp folder without restarting? flash keeps crapping out and leaving vids behind that can't be deleted, trashing and tossing them doesn't free up the space they're taking up.

[04:35] I want a channel which talks about embedded linux, any one can tell me a name of one ? [04:35] opakavic what to do now [04:35] I'm on a system with a failing hard drive (gentoo installation) and a new blank one that I'm installing ubuntu on [04:35] ranjan: choose output internal audio [04:35] SSH key woes. Any takers? [04:36] ok i chose output internal audio but i'm nt getting sound [04:36] Fauntix: check that file its mentioning. could be that file is not needed.. or some how goofed up, it should have 1 line in it. [04:36] but I want to make the first 200 gigs of the new one a degraded raid1, and sync that up to a third hard drive that is currently removed [04:36] Fauntix: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-wine/ppa/ubuntu karmic main [04:36] (syncing after rebooting into the installation) [04:37] Dr_Willis: yeah, but that command won't give that file, only the old command. He must have just re-ran the old command... [04:37] ranjan: can you please send me screenshot of that preferences [04:37] I need to install MatLab but it doesn't say anything about licensing on this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MATLAB and it has a blurb about being "preliminary" [04:37] but the partitioner doesn't seem to have any raid options, and mdadm doesn't seem to be available [04:37] ChogyDan: yep. thats what has me confused [04:37] is one of those commands just going to prompt me for the license password I am going to get after I pay for Matlab? [04:38] ranjan: gimme links of those screenshots [04:38] deb? [04:38] and I don't see mdadm in the ubuntu software center tool [04:38] opakavic ok [04:39] I'm Using kubuntu 9.10 and i had this same problem in Ubuntu I can't access my wifi i have a Buffalo WZR2-G300N router and a bigpond 2 wire modem non wireless, the connection is via AOSS, i can access my wifi in windows vista with a program that comes with my router called ClientManagerV, can someone help me connect to my internet connection as i can't access my wifi in kubuntu [04:39] Fauntix: yes. thats a line from within that repos listing.. its NOT a command. [04:40] buzza, is there a wireless interface to begin with on ubuntu? [04:40] Fauntix: if this is all voodoo then you may want to learn some more linux basics. and apt-get ussage. [04:40] opakavic where shall i put them in which site [04:40] so, anyone know how to install mdadm, or otherwise configure raid from the installation program? [04:40] This is me searching for help with failed ssh login using rsa keys. Now would be a wonderful time to jump in. [04:41] the wireless interface wont work to connect [04:41] ranjan: use imageshack or something you kow [04:41] is there something nicer than Brasero for burning a dvd video. By nicer I mean something that I can configure and that works? [04:41] buzza, you probably need to disable the AOSS in the router config and just use wpa2 as linux does not support these proprietary "extra security" measures like the windows drivers have [04:41] buzza, what chipset do you have? [04:41] http://androidforums.com/htc-droid-eris/34278-auto-hyphenation-numbers.html [04:41] raaaage [04:41] i am trying to relearn linux [04:41] bad clipboard [04:41] are these Matlab installation instructions complete: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MATLAB ? [04:41] blankthemuffin, personally i like K3B (but hate that it requires all the KDE libs) [04:42] shawnboy, you can try empty the file that stores the keys. and then let them re-add them. That fixed my issue when the server changed its IP [04:42] i just need wine and flash to work right now while i learn [04:42] All I need to do is burn a vob [04:42] Could anyone help in getting sound in ubuntu9.10?I upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 through net..I lost sound.. [04:42] nm-applet says wifi is disabled and dhclient can't resolve dhcp! Help!! [04:42] ranjan: use imageshack or something you kow [04:42] knoppies: so empty the authorized_keys file on server? then try logging in? [04:42] sorry for being a n00b but that what you get for not touching linux for a few years [04:42] happyface, then you need to enable wifi [04:42] okc, I would recommend you backup your /home and do a clean install. but its up to you [04:42] ACER Nplify 802.11b/gDraft-N WLAN [04:42] shawnboy, on client. [04:43] Fauntix: the apt package manager hasent changed that much in several years. [04:43] psycho_oreos: it is enabled. ifconfig wlan0 up [04:43] i understand i forgot alot of the commands and stuff lol [04:43] apt-get install [to your heart's desire?] [04:43] knoppies: not sure what u mean. I have in ~/.ssh/ .... id_rsa and known_hosts [04:43] buzza, hmm would probably help if you pastebin your lspci -nnk output, and you may also want to try Jinxware's solutions, that is to disable AOSS and use WPA2 [04:43] shawnboy, I think its the known_hosts. [04:44] I can't access my router config IP though [04:44] happyface, and the last few lines of dmesg ? anything about rfkill? [04:44] where do i find the repository dialog [04:44] shawnboy, you might want to make a backup, but thats up to you. [04:44] shawnboy, did it help? [04:44] buzza, well you'll need to do that from windows first because it won't connect and therefore be attached to the network and obtain IP address, etc [04:45] opakavic: my idea worked to get my x server back up and running [04:45] opakavic: now i just need to figure out why i can't get a higher res [04:45] the error should be in there [04:45] how can i find out my router's config ip? [04:45] knoppies. nope. I did "mv known_hosts k_h" then tried... had to reaffirm host key. said yes, but prob at same phase. [04:45] !apt | Fauntix [04:45] Fauntix: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) [04:45] Fauntix: i use the cli tools mainly [04:45] It's not the IP buffalo said [04:45] buzza, via route, but only when you are connected [04:45] buzza: What brand is it? [04:45] buffalo [04:46] via route? [04:46] Oh, buffalo is a brand?

[04:47] ssh with rsa works with Putty in XP. [04:47] Fauntix: use the gui pacakge manager tools if you want a gui. check teh menus [04:47] psycho_oreos: dmesg just says wlan0: link is not ready.. and some other stuff about loading the iwlagn firmware [04:47] but not from Karmic [04:47] od3n, doubt it, madwifi is slowly being deprecated in favour of ath5k/ath9k [04:47] ok [04:48] again I Can't Open the synaptic Package manager... is there another package manager?

[04:49] psycho_oreos: yea it used to work, but just stopped recently seemingly out of nowhere [04:49] so these instructions are complete: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MATLAB ? [04:49] happyface, retrace to what you did last [04:49] when I run 'ifconfig' all I see is 'lo'. how can I get eth0 and wlan0 to show up? === Guest17987 is now known as cthulhu2 [04:49] opakavic http://img19.imageshack.us/content_round.php?page=done&l=img19/1337/screenshotrk.png see this [04:49] dooglus, those other interfaces are not up, you can use ifconfig up or use ifconfig -a [04:49] So, how do I make my resolution larger than 1280? Somebody said something about protected drivers? What do I do? [04:50] yeah I am looking for all that info on my chipset but have yet to locate it [04:50] cthulhu2, proprietary drivers they probably meant, depends on the chipset [04:50] psycho_oreos: I think I need to install something to get the other interfaces to exist. I can't 'ifup' either of them [04:50] od3n, how is the device connected? === b0w is now known as zz_b0w [04:50] opakavic http://img19.imageshack.us/content_round.php?page=done&l=img19/1337/screenshotrk.png [04:50] cthulhu2 restricted drivers? [04:50] wireless [04:50] psycho_oreos: my laptop died, so I moved the hdd into a different laptop. now I can't get online [04:50] psycho_oreos Can you help me figure out what I need friends? [04:50] dooglus, details of why it may not work may be listed in dmesg [04:50] I think I have the restricted ones already. [04:50] whats your monitors resolution and whats your gpu? [04:51] I am using a 42 inch lcd tv [04:51] hola [04:51] dooglus, that's expected when the other laptop has different hardware specifications compared to your dead laptop [04:51] and I dont know how to check the res or even know what a gpu is [04:51] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MATLAB [04:51] cthulhu2 and the tv resolution is? [04:51] koshari im not sure! [04:51] what does lspci return? [04:51] cthulhu2, pastebin your lspci -nnk output [04:51] 720p I think [04:51] you will need to know [04:52] psycho_oreos: so what's the fix? is there some way I can tell ubuntu "you're in a new laptop; look around and discover the new hardware'? [04:52] hmm, that's not right... [04:52] cthulhu2 google your tvs model number [04:52] gtg? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MATLAB [04:52] Ok... maybe someone can answer this one... where is the sshd_config on ubuntu? === zz_b0w is now known as b0w [04:52] apparently my ubuntu bible is wrong about getting help in the community.... sorry for even trying to use Ubuntu... I don't mean to be rude but I have had too many issues and I have yet to move from step 1, I am describing the problems as best as I can [04:52] dooglus, not quite, not as simple as that compared to a re-install afaik.. some drivers may appear in hardware drivers but that's about it I think [04:52] I apt-got mdadm, created a degraded raid1 /dev/md0, but the ubuntu installer wants to partition it! [04:52] opakaviv are you thre? [04:52] psycho_oreos http://pastebin.com/m41116282 [04:53] is there a way to tell it to install directly onto /dev/md0? [04:53] psycho_oreos: I can boot from a live CD and then mount my old home partition, but it's encrypted with ecryptfs and I can't work out how to mount it unencrypted [04:53] psycho_oreos: wait dmesg does say rf_kill bit toggled to enable radio... im not doing anything wrong connecting to networks, it just doesnt work [04:53] I'd prefer not to have the extra level of indirection [04:53] cthulhu2, you'll need to install nvidia's proprietary drivers [04:53] okay [04:53] !nvidia | cthulhu2 [04:53] cthulhu2: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [04:54] psycho_oreos: is there any way to find out what needs setting up to get the eth0 working? it's working now, since I'm booting from the CD [04:54] dooglus, you will need the module/driver and the associated program to decrypt that partition, but if you can boot in, you will need to enter hardware drivers [04:54] I'm scareded [04:54] is there a way i can handle hex wep passwords with gnome-network-manager? I cannot connect to a router because Ubuntu does not seem to support passwords in hex :( [04:55] happyface, have you also tried to manually connect? via CLI thatis [04:55] Intel 3945ABG [04:55] Alan502: 'wicd' is an alternative you might like to try. I don't know if it supports hex passwords, but it does seem to be more complete [04:55] od3n, you will need to use iwl3945 driver for that, that isn't Atheros chipset [04:55] psycho_oreos it says that the recommended prop driver 185 is activated and currently in use [04:56] thas the chipset I am using and the drivers are iwl3945 [04:56] Fauntix: how old is that book? [04:56] psycho_oreos the other one is the 173 and doesnt say recommended next to it and says that that one is NOT activated. [04:56] 2010 [04:56] i havent fully finished it [04:56] cthulhu2, under your applications menu, do you also see nvidia X server settings? if so, see if its actually showing that you're using nvidia driver [04:56] Fauntix: adding the winehq repos was like 4 commands i added just a few min ago. Im not sure what you are doing wrong [04:56] dooglus, actually wicd does support hex passwords. I tried it, and it works, but wicd doesn't support 3G Modem connections and that is how i normally connect to the internet. So... that way i'd have to be switching between wicd and gnome-network-manager.... is there something that can make it easier? [04:57] Fauntix: unless theres somthuing up at the winehq servers [04:57] yep it shows that im using 185.18.36 [04:57] od3n, well yes which is completely different to madwifi for that matter [04:57] psycho_oreos [04:57] so thats just the chipset for the network card right [04:57] cthulhu2, and your TV is connected via VGA type connector? [04:57] Alan502: not that I know of. I tend to edit /etc/network/interfaces by hand, but that's not particularly friendly [04:57] od3n, yes wireless network card [04:57] psycho_oreos hdmi [04:58] dooglus, lol, no [04:58] Fauntix: http://pastebin.ca/1788740 the exact commands i used [04:58] OK. I'm going to do this then https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MATLAB [04:58] cthulhu2, under nvidia X settings, are you able to see the secondary monitor? [04:58] Dr_Willis, Can you walk me through step by step letter by letter to make sure I "Am" doing this right [04:58] I'm scareded. [04:58] does anybody know how can i simplify the task of switching from wicd to gnome-network-manager and viceversa? [04:58] I done broke my Ubuntu last year [04:58] Fauntix: thats the history of the commands i typed. [04:59] so should I get another card [04:59] arrrrghhh [04:59] Alright I changed it to 1920 in the xserver area === saruman is now known as Xenny [04:59] od3n, why do you want to do that? [04:59] arrrrggh [04:59] but now my top and bottom bars are gone [04:59] what to do now? [05:00] also it seems to lag a bit [05:00] cthulhu2, the resolution is probably too high, adjust the resolution a bit lower [05:00] fricking nvidia 5200 crap why is it I could get this to work at one point in debian but not on kubuntu ????? [05:00] oh I'm dumb. [05:00] Dr_Willis, whats the history I dont see anything unless you already typed it up higher [05:00] did any of the other guys in here having the same problem have any luck fixing it ? [05:00] Fauntix: http://pastebin.ca/1788740 the exact commands i used [05:00] well will my current card do all the same things as the atheros [05:00] or perhaps someone know how can i make gnome-network-manager connect to a router with a password that must be entered as Hex? [05:01] od3n, basic things maybe, but advanced stuff no [05:01] found it sorry [05:01] Still hoping for some ssh insight. [05:01] is ubuntu capable of the windows 7 style task bar or grouping multiple windows in one? [05:01] so... i got the driver from nvidia.com to work on my system now... but i still can't get a resolution greater than 640x480 [05:01] od3n, is there a particular reason why you want atheros wireless network card? [05:02] Alan502: Both of my laptops connected to my home wifi which has a Hex WEP key with Gnome Network Manager. Not sure what your problem is, but it worked out of the box for me [05:02] Xenny, it would probably be better if you went via hardware drivers and install restricted drivers [05:02] psycho_oreos that seemed to work pretty good man! [05:02] psycho_oreos: you mean point it to the .run file i get from nvidia ? [05:02] cthulhu, lowering res right? [05:02] ok well I just want it for learning reasons === cthulhu is now known as Guest3635 [05:02] yes psycho_oreos [05:02] sound problem in ubuntu9.10>?can anyone help>???? [05:02] psycho_oreos: from inside a running X server ? [05:02] I dont see much of a difference before I was at 1280 now im at 13 something [05:03] whats the differencE? things dont really look that smaller [05:03] Xenny, no no, under *ubuntu you can go through X into hardware drivers and install proprietary driver from there, it would probably save mucking around with a .run file [05:03] k0d3g3ar, hmm i'm using ubuntu UNR and the network manager doesn't seem to have an option to enter the password as HEX [05:03] I am pretty much a windows person and just getting into linux the last few months [05:03] i dont know xserver...but its not working from gui. [05:03] psycho_oreos: i tried that though, and it sucked balls, it did the same crap i'm having problems with now [05:03] Guest3635, and the reason why it was lagging before was probably because it has to support two monitors I think [05:04] is ubuntu capable of the windows 7 style taskbar or at least grouping multiple windows in one? [05:04] where is this .run file? [05:04] od3n, ahh well, you can I suppose swap the card out if your laptop/nettop isn't HP/Compaq, Lenovo/IBM afaik [05:04] ok it still gives me the E: Type '--2010-02-04' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list after running the first command [05:04] hello all....I'm in the process of ripping 4 episodes of entourage from the dvd onto my computer...i'd like to set something up tonight to automatically scp them to my media server tonight while i sleep. that way I don't have to worry about doing it tomorrow and I can work on other episodes and other dvds. [05:04] is there an easy way to set that up? [05:05] rolsworth, try to look in the taskbar preferences, there should be an option that does what you want [05:05] Can anybody tell me why when I apply two identical icon sets to my laptop and desktop, my desktop works fine but my laptop fails to apply all of the icons properly? Particularly the firefox icon? [05:05] Dr_Willis, ok it still gives me the E: Type '--2010-02-04' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list after running the first command [05:05] okc, what was your problem? [05:05] in gnome you can group windows in the taskbar. i use awn and it also has similar functionality [05:05] neezer: umm,, just put everything in a script ? [05:06] i upgraded 9.04 from net to 9.10...and the result is no sound.. [05:06] haqe18: I don't really know how to do that? [05:06] Fauntix: delete taht winehw.list file - ive NO idea where that file is comming from [05:06] k0d3g3ar, so basically my problem is that i cannot see where to option to enter as HEX is! [05:06] Fauntix: or edit that file and add a deb line line i pasted. [05:06] Xenny, hmm well afaik it has to compile cleanly and *ubuntu these days use dkms.. and then Xorg needs to be using nvidia driver for it to work [05:06] Dr_Willis, Command to delete it [05:06] Hi, I have a really weird problem, my terminal wont run any command that contains whitespace. [05:06] Fauntix: th4 commands i used did NOT make that file [05:06] Fauntix: 'sudo rm /path/to/wahtever' [05:07] does anybody at least know how to change the firefox icon Im having issues with? [05:07] haqe18: I know the command I need to use, but I'm not sure how to delay it about 2 hours so that I am sure the files are done being ripped before I start transferring them. [05:07] okc, that wouldn't be related to a simple .run file.. that is generally an upgrade issue.. which I personally disliked in favour of clean install [05:07] psycho_oreos:tell me how to check the functioning of audio drivers r anything? [05:07] Fauntix: your ubuntu bible book hasent even covered the 'rm' command yet? or any bash basics> [05:07] I have a hp nw9440 [05:07] psycho_oreos:So what should I do? [05:07] the card comes outso it can be changed [05:08] has anybody had video tearing with a nvidia graphics card and actually found a FIX for it? Long time ubuntu/nvidia user here whos lived with the problem since 2006. Any things I can do? [05:08] okc, there's a few ways, see if the driver is loaded for sound card, via lspci -nnk, then check if its muted via pulseaudio or whatever it is [05:08] neezer: basically you just put the commands into a text file, one command per line. [05:08] Dr_Willis, rm: cannot remove `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list': No such file or directory [05:08] lol i feel that i typed that wrong \ [05:08] Good things come to those who wait. I'm looking for some SSH love here. RSA key won't work for me. [05:08] neezer: sleep 7200 can be used to wait 2hrs [05:08] lol >.< [05:08] neezer: see man sleep [05:08] Fauntix: the TAB key will complete file names.. [05:08] od3n, that won't work, HP has whitelisting on their laptops, it'll work via plugging in, but if its not on the whitelist, BIOS will give you an error and disable the device [05:09] Fauntix: cd to the directory and see whats in there [05:09] psycho_oreos:i typed the command and got a series of list.... which i didnt understand anything!:'( [05:10] okc, in other words, a reinstall would probably be a better option for you [05:10] okc, not an upgrade but clean install [05:10] what do you mean by whitelisting? [05:10] ok..so no other options? [05:11] hey.. guys... firefox icon... how do I change it [05:11] od3n, only certain things on that list are allow but the rest cannot be used.. kinda like a bouncer at a privately held party for invited guests only [05:11] haqe18: looks like that is what I need, but I can't figure out from the man pages the syntax is. [05:11] okc, no, not unless you're familiar with linux CLI and you're desperate [05:12] sucks when laptop makers Lock down things like that [05:12] no i dont know CLI! [05:12] Roasted, you can change icons in launchers, not sure how to change the icon from within FF. I know there is a folder called .icons [05:12] Will ubuntu 6.10 work on an AMD 1300 with 192MB of SDRAM? [05:13] Dr_Willis, yup that's why people need to learn to avoid buying them [05:13] Ryan`: id say yes. but more ram would help [05:13] Ryan`, it should. the only way to find out is to try it. [05:13] so then if I was going to build a laptop for training and learning what would you recomend [05:13] Ryan`: but why 6.10? [05:13] why do people still irc as root? [05:13] i know someone out there wants the deep satisfaction of helping me with ssh problems. [05:13] oh, 9.10, sorry. [05:13] knoppies, I know, Ive gone the .icons route. I have an icon package from gnome-look and I have it on my desktop, it sgreat. I put it on my laptop and EVERYTHING works except firefox. Firefox is still the default orange icon, and its enraging me this ONE FKING icon doesnt work. Permissions are fine, 1,566 files in the folder (same as desktop) So Im trying to change JUST that icon at the very elast. [05:13] Dr_Willis, I tried to delete the file in the bowser and it says Permission denied [05:13] okc, yup which is unfortunate because going through to try and solve an upgrade issues you have is a long and painstaking journey which may not even work [05:13] psycho_oreos: avoid buying laptops? that seems extreme. [05:13] Fauntix: use the command line... 'sudo rm /path/to/the/file' [05:13] od3n, for laptop brands? === Richie is now known as WelshDragon [05:13] thanks. [05:14] yaeh [05:14] haqe18: Thanks for the help...I got it figured out. [05:14] shawnboy, no, avoid buying laptop manufacturers that does wireless card whitelisting [05:14] ah. gotcha [05:14] haqe18: I really appreciate the help. [05:14] psycho_oreos:so is there any method to uninstall all the sound related files and get the new ones? [05:14] od3n, I dunno but personally I'd avoid HP/Compaq, Lenovo/IBM and Sony [05:14] it's tough to find out detailed info before purchasing , though. (speaking as a very recent laptop purchaser who struggled with making the choice with Ubuntu in mind) [05:15] okc, the problem probably isn't a simple matter of reinstalling, its more of configuration and using one's mind to think on how to solve it because the situation varies [05:15] ok [05:15] is there any way I can make a device file in /dev that links to another device? [05:15] Dr_Willis, Ok every wine list in sources.list.d is gone [05:15] well I have to go to bed now ,thanks for all the info [05:15] shawnboy, brands are easier to ignore once you remember by the names, but its unfortunate if you're not the buyer [05:16] od3n, nw, nite [05:16] psycho_oreos:ok... [05:16] okc, I think its something to do with pulseaudio, but I could be very wrong about that [05:16] Fauntix: that was not really needed.. but whatever.. [05:16] Regarding laptops i've had great success with IBM [05:16] Dr_Willis, sorry it was pissing me off [05:16] so... nobody has any SSH insight for me? [05:16] Fauntix: its a location for extra repos you add. I tend to keep a 'Disabled' directory in that dir and move things to it as i need [05:17] join [05:17] is there an opengl benchmark tools for ubuntu? [05:17] psycho_oreos:ok..what to do with pulseaudio? [05:17] Fauntix: so about 2 hrs ago when we told you to delete that file you never did delete it?

[05:17] shawnboy, repeat the question if you will [05:17] Dr_Willis, i thought i did [05:17] Fauntix: commands i used -> http://pastebin.ca/1788745 [05:17] web1109 glxgears is a rough one [05:17] Fauntix: not without using 'sudo rm' or somtjhing similer you dident === mike is now known as Guest3031 [05:18] okc, that's where you have to use your head and think, it could be muted, it could be not functioning, you need to check.. and/or remove pulseaudio in favour of legacy ALSA.. but much before that you might want to check if there even is a driver loaded for your sound chip [05:18] marnold: get to enter passphrase stage then it doesn't work. trying to login ssh from karmic to freenas using rsa keys.

When I tighten perms, it appears only to look for dsa key. No.. no ssh-agent running.

[05:22] and caches them in memory [05:22] kcj1993, i'm running UNR 9.10 [05:23] Fauntix: the program 'ubuntu-tweak' lets you add the winehq and other program repos with just a few clicks. :) somthing to try in the future [05:23] marnold: hmm. ok. I guess I'll check out using an ssh-agent then. i didn't know that was required. [05:23] it solves most ssh auth problems i find [05:24] Alan502, can you right click on the network manager and select "Edit Connections..."? [05:24] marnold: is there a *preferred* ssh-agent out there u can point me to? [05:24] Alan502: try entering your hex code without the : seperators. That worked just fine for me [05:24] Anybody have any idea why the icon sets I install on my desktop often dotn work on my laptop? Is there a package that allows this to work on my desktop that maybe Im missing on my laptop? [05:25] k0d3g3ar, humm ok, i'll try it and see if it works. Thank you very much!

How does one resolve this error, and can I manually "on-line" it? [05:26] marnold: ok. thanks. I'll go read how to use. [05:27] Dr_Willis, thanks [05:27] or even thoughts as to what it means? I've googled and I'm not getting anything that makes sense to me [05:28] is there a way to uncompress 7z archives? [05:28] nevermind [05:28] didnt realize ubuntu had one in their repos. [05:28] kcj1993, note that that approach could damage the device depending on what your trying to do [05:28] ok [05:28] so be careful [05:29] can someone help me get my wireless card working on ubuntu (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1398697)?

I used System->Preferences->Display to add a external monitor and now my laptop starts without X Windows. How can I fix it? Thank you in advance. [05:49] Faunt, i'm not really sure - i just know that the lack of "push to talk" is very unfortunate with Vent/wine [05:50] Faunt, i don't use Vent myself... [05:50] (23:45:12) Faunt: Dr_Willis, hey can Winehq run drivers? -no, you can install windows drivers in linux (sic) :S [05:50] Faunt: ventrillo has a beta version for linux: http://www.ventrilo.com/dlprod.php?id=301 [05:50] Faunt: wine basics...

[05:54] Faunt, mumble is same if not better audio quality than ventrilo, but has better latency performance [05:54] okc: when I checked add/remove software and type it in for a search, it shows up with a checkmark as it is already installed. [05:54] gasull: try sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [05:54] Airtonix, especially just to accomedate one person [05:55] @saurbh what do you mean?

[06:00] jamie, ok open the folder containing the file... right click on it and go to the permissions tab [06:00] k [06:00] jamie, the easiest thing is "sh perlbox-voice.install" - alt way is "chmod +x perlbox-voice.install && ./perlbox-voice.install" [06:00] gasull: in the future, always make a backup copy of /etc/X11/xorg.conf by sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak [06:00] jamie, down the bottom of the permissions tab you should see a checkbox "allow this file to execute" or similar.

[06:01] gasull: why don't you move the xorg.conf to xorg.conf.bad and then run that command again; its worth a shot [06:02] jamie, ok to makes things easier to work with the terminal i suggest you install nautilus-open-terminal [06:02] when i try "sh perlbox-voice.install" it says cant open. [06:02] jamie, are you in the same directory as the file?

[06:10] brandon_, that message i sent for brand0n was for you [06:10] Thers getting to be so many different PPA's for ff its scary [06:10] skydrome: also, other programs use that as past (old linux command), so if your stuck, like in vi, try ctrl+shift+ins [06:10] I noticed teh Daily build PPA had a different icon then the Stable PPA i was using. [06:10] ekim1:tell me players u have?It wil be played even if you have mplayer. [06:11] Dr_Willis: np. thanks [06:11] owen1: for a simple serice/command you could just use /etc/rc.local [06:11] can someone help me get my compaq wl110 wireless card working on ubuntu (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1398697)? === mike_ is now known as Guest46178 [06:11] how to use torrentflux [06:11] ::( [06:11] !find torrentflux [06:11] Found: torrentflux [06:12] wl110:can u tell me how t use this httrack..? [06:12] lol [06:12] dr_willis i have conky running on the desktop not in a window can i do that with terminal also? [06:12] Dr_Willis: how do i use it? [06:12] NICK [06:12] !torrentflux [06:12] Shoot, I can't find the program I just installed , it's not in submenus. [06:12] nutrix, have you looked here yet ? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TorrentFlux [06:12] Having an issue with my resolution stuck at 800x600 on my Acer Aspire laptop with Intel Graphics card, pretty sure I need to edit my xorg.conf but I do not really know how, have posted info at launchpad https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+question/100177 [06:12] okc: i haven't used it in many years, but the man httrack (then q to quit) should be a great starting point [06:12] !httrack | okc [06:12] jamie, what program was it? [06:12] okc: players? not sure what you mean. I have a zune and trying to use rhythmbox. [06:13] Rayston, unless you are using older version of ubuntu (pre 8.10) xorg.conf wont do much i fear [06:13] wl110:i typed the command ./httrack in terminal [06:13] okc: in terminal, you can try 'man httrack' or ./httrack --help [06:13] airtonix, Rayston: Newer versions of Ubuntu still respect an xorg.conf file if it's present, they just don't create one by default. [06:14] anyone know what it means if my boot fails with "udevd-work[675]: 'devkit-disks-part-id /dev/.tmp-block-179:1' unexpected exit with status 0x0007" ? [06:14] I cannot watch movies in my laptop since 2 months ago or so. So long ago that I've kind of given up. Youtube and embedded videos work, but MPlayer plays only the audio of the movie, not the video. Any ideas what can be wrong? Thank you in advance. [06:14] jamie, not all programs create gnome menu entries. your first step would be to find its binary files using the locate command in the terminal [06:14] jamie, is this where you got the file ? >> http://perlbox.sourceforge.net/pbtk/ [06:14] this channel is +c [06:15] brandon_: ive seen it done in the past. used to be called 'root terminals' or somthing like that. not running a terminal.. but a 'root window level terminal' ie: at the lowest level [06:15] thats highly racial [06:15] gasull, from a cli try "mplayer -vo x11 FILE" and/or "mplayer -vo gl FILE" and see if either work [06:15] robtmr: what is your computer's architecture; udevd's latest version doesn't work with arm architecture [06:15] airtronix, rww:yeah, its definitely created at this point, using vesa driver, I would think it should use the i915, tried just changing it to that in the xorg.conf, as well as i810 and intel, never fixes it but makes it worse [06:15] and it is not the ubuntu way [06:15] !troll > zealot [06:15] zealot, please see my private message [06:15] owen1: rc.local is just a script you add commands to.. much easier then doing a service [06:15] ekim1:try another players like vlc..Hope this will help for sure!! [06:15] wl110: yeah, it's arm - what are my other options? [06:15] "which" is also useful [06:16] ekim1: vlc, mplayer, xbmc, enna, boxee, (boxxee?) moovida, lets see what else.. :) [06:16] Hi, just wondering, when you set the hostname of a machine, do you include the domain? [06:16] Dr_Willis: interesting [06:16] superbee, i assume you are talking to someone in particular ? [06:16] ZykoticK9: yes, it works! [06:16] robtmr: i ran into your problem, so i reinstalled and never let it update udevd, but at the same time, i am currently blocked from upgrading software unless i 'sudo apt-get install program' individually to upgrade (n810 on ubuntu 9.10) [06:17] ppaulhus, careful if you are changing your hostname - be sure /etc/hosts is updated as well (or sudo might break) [06:17] ZykoticK9: why if I open the file in Nautilus it doesn't work? [06:17] Airtonix being on Wirc has its cons, i just saw a message on locate in the terminal [06:17] gasull, which one worked? x11 or gl? [06:17] ZykoticK9: both [06:18] ZykoticK9: ok I will be... but is the hostname and domain a different thing? if my machine is one.bluesponge.com, should I just set hostname to 'one' ? [06:18] well i actually need help [06:18] i had a kernel panic today [06:18] gasull, in nautilus right click a video file and goto Open With tab and check the settings there... [06:18] superbee, :) i had an idea of who, but it helps alot to remove the ambiguity in such a large and fast moving channel. [06:18] let me paste the machine code and see if you guys can make anything of it [06:19] 0100110000011011111001110011000011000000101111101111110110111001010110101000111011010101111110001100 [06:19] 0011101011100000001111111010011100011111000000101111111110010111001011110101000101100000010000011001 [06:19] wl110: Do you think I could replace udevd without reinstalling? I have the filesystem on an SD card, so I can replace selective parts if necessary [06:19] 1100010001001110100000111101110001001010000011100100111101110100110001000100001010001110110010011010 [06:19] 0100111110110111010101100010100010011000110001101001001011001000101100010010110000110011000111110111 [06:19] zealot: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. === b0w is now known as zz_b0w [06:19] ppaulhus, hostname and domain are different - i don't think you should put the domain in the hostname [06:19] so anyone have any ideas how to fix my resolution problem, I would think that the problem is that the xorg.conf is pointing to vesa instead of my driver, but just changing that does not fix anything [06:19] * airtonix headdesk [06:19] Zealot you best post the contents of your syslog then [06:19] ZykoticK9: and where exactly would i put the domain then? [06:19] 1000101101111110001000110111000101100011111100000011100100111100000011110011001111111011001010110011 [06:19] 1110001001000100110011101001111011011001010000100100111110011111101010101100001101100111100011111110 [06:19] zealot: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[06:20] robtmr: i left it broken on my n810, but in theory, if you have gcc/g++ installed, you could compile the older version of udevd from source [06:20] ppaulhus, i'm not sure, when i type "domainname" on my system it says "(none)" so i obviously don't have it set. good luck man. [06:20] robtmr: this is a bug in ubuntu that has not been fixed and is a low priority (even though it feels like it completely breaks the system) [06:21] does anyone know about ubuntu-light.. or u-lite.. i want to install flash [06:21] !interfaces [06:21] Ok i know this isnt an ubuntu question but I am looking for a IRC channel for D&D 3.5 people [06:21] !networking [06:21] can someone help me get my compaq wl110 wireless card working on ubuntu (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1398697)? [06:21] wl110: thanks - not sure about everyone else, but for me it completely breaks my system... I still can't boot it [06:22] robtmr: it boots fine on my end, i just have to install software individually; you may want to search how to chroot from a live ubuntu, that will get you into the system you can't boot into [06:23] anyone know about u-lite. I am trying to install flash player [06:23] anyone use guake? [06:24] When a network interface comes up, should "up ip -6 addr add" work to add routes/other addresses? [06:24] ZykoticK9: The settings in open with are Movie Player and Mplayer. The both fail. I don't understand why I can't use MoviePlayer/Totem [06:24] gOS? :-) anyone? [06:24] Ziber, to add routes put route add [06:24] Gotta love that screenshot [06:24] gasull, i can't help with MoviePlayer/Totem -- i'm a hardcore mplayer guy for many years... sorry i'm no help [06:24] Dr_Willis, vlc, xbmc, mplayer are not listed in ubuntu's add/remove when searched... [06:24] celthunder: and other addresse? [06:24] *addresses? [06:25] robtmr: in the live ubuntu (or another linux on the same computer), to chroot, (http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-restore-grub-boot-loader-after-installing-windows.html), just don't reinstall grub in your case [06:25] ekim1, Add/Remove doesn't show all software, Synaptic the other GUI installer will [06:25] I can't get wireless in karmic to connect. I've got a network-manager/wpasupplicant log at: http://pastebin.ca/1788784 . What's the best way to get assistance with this? [06:25] ziber add an address with ifconfig. [06:25] the two are seperate routes and addresses [06:26] Zykotick what happens when you do mplayer filename [06:26] ekim1:If not found get them installed...by 'apt-get install vlc' in terminal [06:26] celthunder: i want a bunch of addresses to be added when a certain interface is activated... how can i do that? [06:26] ekim1: add the proper repos, and google for the ppas for others [06:26] can someone help me get my compaq wl110 wireless card working on ubuntu (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1398697)? [06:26] ekim1: boxee is a downloadble one. and enna - both have some neat features [06:26] ZykoticK9: Mplayer doesn't work from Nautilus. I guess I need the custom command. [06:26] Whats the error you get on the console [06:27] gasull, if you're adding "mplayer" to open with be sure you are using "mplayer -vo gl" as the custom command [06:27] ZykoticK9: Should I use x11 or gl? [06:27] ekim1:if u want it through gui goto System-->administration-->Synaptic manager and serch for vlc 'apply' to get it installed [06:27] gasull, gl! [06:27] ZykoticK9: OK [06:27] compiz won't startup when the system is loaded, I can loaded it once I am in a gdm session though, when I run 'compiz' from terminal it loads with all my settings in place, how do I repair it so that it starts from startup? [06:27] gasull, x11 "probably" doesn't go fullscreen, you can test/check if you want [06:27] atrus: you could always try an alternative network-manager, such as wicd, then switch back to default if that doesn't work (wicd.sourceforge.net) [06:28] Mplayer+gui launch=reduced performance [06:28] Dr_Willis, the files that I need to listen to or convert are WMA files, not WMV like I thought...my bad. [06:28] wl110: wicd doesn't support simultaneous wireless/wifi connections :/ [06:28] Use it like it was meant to be used, from the termy [06:28] wl110: er, wired/wifi rather [06:29] atrus: u trid the latest version 1.7? [06:29] hi all, [06:29] wl110: no, should I? [06:29] atrus: here is the change log: http://sourceforge.net/projects/wicd/files/wicd-stable/wicd-1.7.0/NEWS/view [06:29] i have a laptop, only with one partition and one recovery partition [06:29] superbee, i didn't notice you messaged me (got my nic wrong, use tab key - MUCH easier) - i'm not the one having the issue gasull is [06:29] can anyone help me with my resolution issue? details at https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+question/100177 [06:29] ZykoticK9: Well, it works with mplayer -vo gl. I guess this is enough. Can I ask why do you prefer mplayer over totem? [06:29] i want to install ubuntu on it, [06:29] wl110: also, it doesn't support notifying applications of what's happening via dbus like network-manager does. [06:29] atrus: see if it was added from the last version you tried [06:30] compiz won't startup when the system is loaded, I can loaded it once I am in a gdm session though, when I run 'compiz' from terminal it loads with all my settings in place, how do I repair it so that it starts from startup? [06:30] almoxarife: Install simple-ccsm and select Custom in Sys>Prefs>Appearance>Visual Effects tab [06:30] basically, could you please tell me some tool to compress existing 99GB partition and make free space to make it dual boot? [06:30] gasull, i prefer mplayer over everything, it's the most powerful linux media player (not the most user friendly, but certainly the most powerful) [06:30] soreau: thnks === FeiRuoWa is now known as zz_FeiRuoWa [06:30] I'm using WIRc from my phone, no tab keys here [06:30] atrus: i know wicd is the only one with cli access, maybe dub access might be possible through that port (since 1.6) [06:31] r15 is the partition full? [06:31] ZykoticK9: define "powerful" :-) Do you mean that it opens more file formats? Or that it's faster? [06:31] does anyone know about ubuntu-lite..flash player install? [06:31] koshari: no i have plenty of free space on C drive [06:31] Lol userfriendliness can be debated. [06:31] wl110, you've been in the channel the last few nights with the same issue haven't you? === vbits is now known as Vbitz [06:31] how to install man pages in ubuntu :-) [06:32] hi i need irc client texmode sock soported.Help! [06:32] wl110: nothing about dual access in wicd. i'd really just like to get network-manager working, since that's what's supposed to work in ubuntu. or does everyone just use wicd? [06:32] r15 therefore you want gparted, as always back up any omportant data before using partitioning tools [06:32] ZykoticK9: yes [06:32] wl110: nothing in its changelog anyways. [06:32] 99 GB partition with only windows fresh installed [06:32] gasull, it will both play and encode anything i throw at it -- you can change outputs like we did with the -vo switch, it also supports Nvidia accelerated video vdpau [06:32] atrus: its fixed many's errors, but you seem to need network-manager for specific reasons [06:32] eyinova: google weechat [06:33] r15 you will need to run it from a live session [06:33] hi i need irc client linux console,not webchat [06:33] wl110, your wireless doesn't work right? [06:33] wl110: it's just annoying that network-manager never seems to work where wicd always does, just with a reduced feature set, and annoying interface :/ [06:33] wl110, oh are you using wicd? [06:33] anybody knowledgeable about ubuntu's initrd? I installed ubuntu but it doesn't boot correctly [06:33] eyinova, what exactly do you mean? [06:33] hi i need irc client linux console,not webchat with soported sock and firewall [06:33] Zykotick9: it doesn't work because it detects the hardware as TI, not Compaq [06:33] ZykoticK9: OK. Thanks a lot. Can I mess my system if I uninstall totem now? [06:33] I said "weechat" NOT webchat. [06:33] sorry [06:34] koshari: rightnow i am from a live ubuntu dvd itself [06:34] ZykoticK9: in any network manager [06:34] eyinova you are ON irc, no? [06:34] /exec /bin/uname -a [06:34] sorry [06:34] yes irss [06:34] gasull, easier to leave it, but no it won't mess anything up by removing it (i have post-install scripts that i run on my system which does remove it) [06:34] Linux ubuntu 2.6.28-11-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 17 01:57:59 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux [06:34] r15 system > admin partition editor [06:34] hey i got a problem everytime i use the -Make- command i get an error. any ideas?

[06:36] wl110, could you pastebin the output of "lspci | grep -i network" [06:36] and if so, how can I configure which modules get included? [06:36] Could someone please tell me why there are drivers on the live cd, but no way of getting to install? I can see the drivers for my wireless if in the live cd, yet not when i boot and have the cd in the drive. WTF?! [06:36] i fired up lubuntu last night. very short on app's. not even irc app. [06:36] heliord it would be a waste of time because on reboot it would load the one on the image again [06:36] rosco: so.. install what you want [06:37] ZykkoticK9: that says my Intel 2200BG is working fine (nothing about the compaq wl110 attached) [06:37] couldn't figure out how to install it either [06:37] Omen_20: use synaptic to install software from the cd/dvd [06:37] rosco: "it"?

[06:41] heliord can you boot into failsafe on the install? [06:41] wl110, and you have 2 wireless cards "right" now? [06:42] rosco: depends on how you got the 2 installed.

[06:47] wl110, this is a PCMCIA card correct? do you know if dmesg gives any messages when you plug it it at all? know what i'm talking about or would you like me to give some directions? [06:48] So I can just run update-initramfs and reboot? It is asking for -c -u or -d [06:48] hi where is the location of rhythm media player plugins [06:48] is it possible video chat through msn or yahoo account via pidgin or empathy?? anybody?? [06:48] Zykotick9: yes, correct; don't kknow if dmesg registers it, but the TI interface shows in network-manager; go ahead and give me the dmesg command you want me to run [06:48] trying to move with cursor, as well as MB size but it's not letting me resize beyond 8 mb [06:49] Dr_Willis: it WAS in the Games PPA, but it isn't any longer [06:49] Also tried with entering new size but new size is not accepted by the partitioner [06:49] Dr_Willis: there was also a private PPA hosting it, but it appears that I need a Launchpad account to get at that one [06:49] Playdeb also has it [06:49] but how do I get Playdeb to just let me download a .deb file? :p [06:49] r15: Is partition mounted?

[06:51] wl110, it would be ideal if you could pastebin the 2nd dmesg (if possible) [06:51] Dr_Willis: do you think I could grab the packages from Karmic manually? the deps don't look too onerous, yet... === wertik_rus is now known as wertik|wrk [06:51] I'm getting a glxinfo error [06:51] r15 what are the min and max sizes it states?

I didn't do ssh-agent, but I tried it with dsa & got same hiccup. After searching, I'm convinced my SSH probs are FreeNAS related. Pretty convoluted to set up compared to ubuntu.

[07:11] valium: doing what exactly? [07:11] <`mOOse`> k guys, I got one for ya - I just installed xubuntu on my hd and made a /boot partition, and a /home partition - update mgr wants to install 1500 mb of updates on my 30 mb boot partition - help! [07:11] hiya [07:11] `mOOse`: you mean a / and a /home partition? and a /boot partition? [07:12] `mOOse`: that likely wont be 1500MB on your /boot, it'll mostly go into your / [07:12] Does anyone know how to capture RTMP streaming video using ubuntu tools? [07:12] * unixalot has arrived [07:12] Dr_Willis: well samba can use vfs plugin so that everytime a user requests a file it is scanned before being served. Alternatively it passes files to clamav before saving them to a samba share [07:12] <`mOOse`> yes a / and a /home [07:12] question - whats the best way to disable ipv6 at boot? [07:12] valium: sounds like yet another way to make samba even slower... :) [07:13] blakkheim: /exit [07:13] allowoverride: for firefox? or what === jacquesdupontd_ is now known as jacquesdupontd [07:13] unixalot: no [07:13] !ipv6 [07:13] For an introduction to IPv6 and information on tunneling IPv6 through IPv4 connections, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IPv6 | To disable IPv6 see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4 [07:13] can anyone help me in installing mozilla firefox 3.6 in ubuntu 9.10 [07:13] Dr_Willis : samba is pretty quick if configured properly. I have over 100 users and it is also a domain controller. It works nicely. But virus scanning is a bit issue - cant seem to get it going [07:13] okc, not tried looking for the ppa yet ? [07:13] question - whats the best way to disable ipv6 at boot? ubuntu-server [07:13] hi [07:14] valium: i toss around 20+GB of files back and forth too much. :) but not much point in virus scanning my videos [07:14] okc, https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-daily/+archive/ppa [07:14] airtonix: what is ppa? [07:14] allowoverride: edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and add blacklist ipv6 iirc [07:15] iirc? [07:15] <`mOOse`> Flannel, well, it wants to try to install it on boot [07:15] !ppa > okc [07:15] okc, please see my private message [07:15] allowoverride: if i recall correctly [07:15] `mOOse`: really? What message is it giving you? [07:15] nomad77: whats the iirc for? [07:15] allowoverride, horrible internet slang that should be purged from the earth [07:15] -rwxr-xr-x what perms is this in numbers? [07:16] <`mOOse`> Flannel - here [07:16] <`mOOse`> http://imgur.com/j7Yq7.png [07:16] Dr_Willis: no you are right. It does have the option of specifying extension types to exclude in real time scanning. [07:17] <`mOOse`> Flannel, I have 25 gigs free [07:17] ZykoticK9: in NM, it showed wifi networks, but still called it TI hardware, and trying to connect to one crashed NM UI [07:17] any help please ( usb 2-1: usbfs: process 2346 (usb_modeswitch) did not claim interface 0 before use [07:17] this my usb_modeswitch.conf ( http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m1a771ff5 ) [07:17] `mOOse`: Huh. Alright, try unchecking all of the updates and only installing the linux-image related ones [07:17] <`mOOse`> you think that'll help somehow? [07:18] wl110, sorry man, i'm afraid your issue has beaten me... i have no more ideas [07:18] so i do not modify /lib/modules/~uname/modules.alias? but /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, as /etc/modprobe/aliases doesn't exist on this system. [07:18] ZykoticK9: that crashed NM when trying to connect to a network, but the card detected networks, just crashes NM and all my network connections [07:18] ZykoticK9: where should i leave a bug report? [07:18] wl110, have you previously tried wicd? if so perhaps you should try it again? [07:18] `mOOse`: It's worth a shot. There's no reason those updates would install to /boot (at least some of them) so that message is making me think that's a bug in the UI or whatnot. [07:19] `mOOse`: You could also try doing it from the command line and seeing how it takes it [07:19] ZykoticK9: yeah, i might try it again, but if the errors at the kernel, would wicd fix it? [07:19] <`mOOse`> um [07:19] <`mOOse`> help me out [07:19] * unixalot whats your fav. font in ubuntu?? [07:19] blakkheim: ah, interesting :) [07:19] <`mOOse`> apt-get updates? [07:19] `mOOse`: Er, wait. 15M? That's pretty normal. [07:19] `mOOse`: How big is your /boot partition? [07:19] wl110, not sure what "package" this should be reported under but typically bugs can be filed with "ubuntu-bug $PACKAGENAME" and it sorta guides you through the process [07:20] <`mOOse`> I made a 30m boot partition based on previous installs [07:20] <`mOOse`> figured grub would need about 20 [07:20] Earlier you said 1500MB for boot, which is significantly different :) [07:20] <`mOOse`> no no [07:20] <`mOOse`> the updates want that [07:20] <`mOOse`> the parition's only 30 megs [07:20] Zykotick9: ok, you got me far, i documented everything on ubuntuforums (search wl110), thanks again [07:20] `mOOse`: How many old kernels do you have? [07:20] knoppies you still here? [07:20] <`mOOse`> just one - I just installed it [07:21] wl110, sorry i couldn't be more help === FeiRuoWa is now known as zz_FeiRuoWa [07:21] <`mOOse`> I can't believe this [07:21] <`mOOse`> sigh [07:21] unmount /boot so things actually go into the boot directroy on / :) [07:22] I dont see much need for a /boot partiton these days [07:22] <`mOOse`> ok [07:22] <`mOOse`> I don't know what I'm doing is what's going on here [07:23] <`mOOse`> I'll be the first to admit it lol [07:23] `mOOse`: I'm currently using 47MB on boot, and I've got more than a few older kernels. Are you sure you don't have any old ones you might be able to remove? [07:23] `mOOse`: I'd give yourself 100MB of boot, that'll give you plenty of wiggle room. [07:23] You may be missreading whats / and /boot and what the package manager is saying [07:23] <`mOOse`> I *just* installed this Flannel [07:23] <`mOOse`> like, 30 mins ago [07:24] <`mOOse`> Dr_Willis, [07:24] <`mOOse`> http://imgur.com/j7Yq7.png [07:24] <`mOOse`> that's the error [07:24] `mOOse`: I've only got two kernels, so if two kernels are 47MB, then you can't fit two of them in 30MB :) [07:24] <`mOOse`> erm [07:24] `mOOse`: That says 1507k, not 1507M [07:24] <`mOOse`> so I should reformat [07:24] <`mOOse`> yea I realize that now rww :-) [07:25] <`mOOse`> aaaaaaa [07:25] <`mOOse`> I see now [07:25] `mOOse`: and personally, I use 100MB or 200MB for /boot partitions. Better safe than sorry :) [07:25] <`mOOse`> new kernels - boot partitions! [07:25] <`mOOse`> I made it too small! [07:25] `mOOse`: On the upside, you've only lost 30 minutes worth of config type stuff. [07:25] or just dont mount /boot/ and let is use the /boot directory on / [07:25] <`mOOse`> true - if I don't lose my windows partition in the meantime [07:25] ohaider ppl. Does anybody know how to make work UVC webcam that's mounted flipped? [07:26] mounted flipped ? [07:26] <`mOOse`> ok, so um, dr...already over my head [07:26] `mOOse`: Are you using LVM? [07:26] jacquesdupontd, yh [07:26] seems i won't help you but just to know what you mean so i get less stupid [07:27] that webcam is built in ASUS laptop [07:27] what you mean by flipped [07:27] yep [07:27] i have one as well [07:27] i have an asus laptop from where i'm talking btw [07:27] <`mOOse`> no - that's another thing I was going to activate during the install that I normally use ... [07:27] `mOOse`: You'll want to grab the alternate CD to install for that. [07:28] <`mOOse`> I know in suse you can retroactively add lvm to a partition [07:28] <`mOOse`> that's what I used Flannel [07:28] Yeah, you can, but if you're reinstalling, might as well do it there. [07:28] reactor, oh in fact you just want your integrated webcam working thats all ? [07:28] jacq patches I have tested didtn' work btw [07:28] <`mOOse`> mmm [07:28] jacquesdupontd, ^* [07:28] * `mOOse` breaks out into a sweat [07:28] haha ok [07:28] different ways to say it, ok weird mine was working hrm lemme remember, hm yeah was working perfectly from the beginning [07:28] jacquesdupontd, webcam worx fine but gives 180 degrees flipped image [07:29] mine is a chicony [07:29] i had a grub error, so i booted a live cd, then gparted showed my ext4 partition as unallocated, i rebooted again and used grub to manually chainload the win7 partition and i managed to repair the ext4 partition with paragon partition manager, so now i had full access to the ext4 partition again, but, then i loaded up gparted again and my main ntfs partition is now "unallocated" and my recovery partition shows bad MFT i have everyt [07:29] hing now backed up with photorec i would just reinstall, but my laptop has a recovery partition which is the only copy of windows 7 i have. i am dual booting only ever used windows to play games on, i updated my GFX driver on win7 one day and this happened...i tried testdisk and chkdsk /R [07:29] <`mOOse`> ok so Dr_Willis ...you think a boot partition isn't necessary right? [07:29] oh ok [07:29] `mOOse`: It's really easy. During the partitioner bit, make a boot partition (100-200MB) and then throw the rest of your disk into an LVM partition. Then up at the top of that partitioning screen, there's a place to play wth your LVM stuff [07:29] jacquesdupontd, mine is Chicony too btw [07:29] reactor, i remember i had to play with stuff like that on an old hercule webcam [07:29] `mOOse`: For LVM, a separate boot partition is required (can't boot straight to LVM) [07:29] please someone help [07:29] <`mOOse`> yes I've done that before and I was GOING to do it this time, but... [07:29] `mOOse`: i dont use lvm. [07:29] been trying for 2 days [07:29] reactor, lemme remind myself how i was doing, i was setting parameters by loading the module [07:29] I keep my partion layouts very simple. :) [07:30] <`mOOse`> ok, so you DO need a boot partition with LVM - I thought so [07:30] jacquesdupontd, ok [07:30] <`mOOse`> I mean not to lvm it [07:30] reactor, but, there should be some software that could help you to set that lemme check [07:30] <`mOOse`> the boot part [07:30] ae86-drifter1, are you on ubuntu now? what version? what version is your livecd? [07:30] i have a 9.04 livecd here and my laptop has 9.10 [07:31] reactor, have you checked camorama ? [07:31] <`mOOse`> ok ext2 for boot, ext4 + LVM for /home ...and I hate swaps - what do you think about them? I have a gig of ram [07:31] `mOOse`: make a 5 gb /boot then set up grub2 to boot a spare ubuntu.iso file stored on /boot/ :) [07:31] <`mOOse`> lol [07:31] jacquesdupontd, it can't fing /dev/fideo0 though other software can [07:31] mkanyisi, im in the livecd now? [07:31] find* [07:31] ae86-drifter1, so you are on ubuntu now. pastebin the output of 'sudo fdisk -l' [07:31] `mOOse`: i always make a swap partition of at least 512mb just in case i use a live cd [07:31] ae86-drifter1, ok fine [07:31] <`mOOse`> grub2 already hosed my xp partition - I have a bone to pick with that guy [07:32] <`mOOse`> ic [07:32] okay, it shows a missing bunch of sectors for the ntfs partition 1 sec === rainofkayos is now known as SolarisBoy [07:32] ae86-drifter1, also open gparted and take a screenshot and upload the image to imageshack.com [07:32] reactor, that, is weird, camorama can't but others can ?

[07:42] mkanyisi, lol [07:42] mkanyisi, do u see the unallocated space? [07:42] i do [07:42] theres meeant to be a partition there containing win7 [07:42] ae86-drifter_, i do [07:42] box dials box accepts connection that about 20 seconds later server just drops [07:42] ae86-drifter_, there is nothing there [07:43] mkanyisi, yes there is, because i just recovered a crap load of files from that sector range [07:43] jacquesdupontd, so how to make it work with camorama and stuff at least with flipped image? [07:43] ae86-drifter_, but there is no filesystem there [07:43] mkanyisi, i would just like to know how i could get my partition back please [07:43] ae86-drifter_, maybe you recovered the files, not the filesystem [07:44] reactor, for now i don't know [07:44] the data is there, the partition table is damaged [07:44] jacquesdupontd, ok but ty for help ;) [07:44] ae86-drifter_, what was in that partition before? [07:45] gparted shows bad MFT for my 1st partition, which is the acer recovery partition, and the (unallocated) space, was my windows 7 installation, that i USED TO be able to boot into...

[07:47] mkanyisi, i have aleady tried using testdisk and chkdsk -R in windows from livecds, any other ideas? [07:47] reactor, seems you have to patch it with a driver comming from linuxtv.org repository and maybe modifying sources to match your kernel [07:47] ae86-drifter_, i don't think you can recover the entire filesystem unless you have cloned it before [07:47] reactor, do you understand ? [07:47] jacquesdupontd, ofc [07:47] hola [07:47] alguien habla castellano? [07:47] jacquesdupontd, just I'm newbie and it can be hard [07:47] mkanyisi, the filesystem is actually there, the MFT is damaged [07:48] could someone please tell me what happened to my NTFS partition? here is my fdisk -l oputput http://pastebin.com/m5a41fa8d and a screenshot of gparted - http://yfrog.com/jtscreenshotcp [07:48] !es | anitah [07:48] anitah: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés.

[07:51] jacquesdupontd, man I brb [07:52] reactor, and i gotta go just bookmark the link all is explained [07:53] reactor, that's easy (in a way) [07:53] jacquesdupontd, ok bb and ty :P [07:53] mkanyisi, all i did was update some GFX card drivers and install borderlands [07:53] reactor, np if i can help ... :) [07:53] ae86-drifter_, i have an HP laptop and it crashes grub2 everytime i boot to windows, i have to recover grub2 by a livecd afterwards everytime. now i just choose to stay away from booting windows. [07:53] hi somebody can help me? im new [07:54] then after a reboot, got this crap [07:54] what is the problem [07:54] ae86-drifter_, some guy at ubuntuforums.org suggested that HP laptop recovery tools try to overwrite the MBR all the time, hence breaking grub2. [07:55] ae86-drifter_, anyway your problem is far far serious than what i had [07:55] mkanyisi, first off i got grub error then my ext4 partition was unallocated, so i booted windows and repaired it then my ntfs is unallocated, but it fixed my ext4 [07:56] ae86-drifter_, can you boot to your ubuntu on the hdd not the livecd? [07:56] windows 7 likes to destroy linux partitions it appears [07:56] mkanyisi, yes i can [07:56] ae86-drifter1, Windows always has trashed GRUB, so not surprising [07:56] ae86-drifter_, are you getting the same outputs of 'fdisk' and 'gparted' as you do here on livecd? [07:57] mkanyisi, yep [07:57] ae86-drifter_, clueless [07:57] hi, i use 9.10, i want to change my soundsystem to alsa, but i dont finde the menu point audio [07:57] mkanyisi, live windows cd says the same thing [07:57] ae86-drifter_, windows has a livecd ? [07:58] hi, i use 9.10, i want to change my soundsystem to alsa, but i dont find the menu point audio [07:59] hello! I have Ubuntu 8.10, where can I change mount options for removable drives? my drive gets mounted without allow_other, so I cannot write it [07:59] newwarrior, http://paste.ubuntu.com/370779/ [08:00] I tried in places - computer - right-click my device and change it there, but it just says "invalid mount option" when I enter "allow_other" in the partitions mount-options [08:01] Duddle, what is allow_other ? [08:01] Duddle, what is your filesystem type ? [08:01] ZykoticK9: thx it works [08:02] hi all, i downloaded a new theme for my gdm login screen, how do i change it? [08:02] mkanyisi: ext3, I think allow_other allows other users to write even if the drive belongs to root [08:02] mkanyisi, no what i meant was booting recovery console with the install disk sorry [08:02] Duddle, nope [08:03] Duddle, never heard of that [08:03] mkanyisi: well, it is part of the mount-options of my other removable drives [08:03] Duddle, you have to use 'chmod' [08:04] Duddle, ext3 supports file ownership and permissions and attributes [08:04] Duddle, so you have to use 'chmod', 'chown' and 'chattr' [08:04] jacquesdupontd, where to add "LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so v4l2ucp "? [08:05] Duddle, the fact that it is removable means nothing [08:05] mkanyisi: ok, i understand [08:05] thanks [08:05] Duddle, np [08:06] hi all, i downloaded a new theme for my gdm login screen, how do i change it?

I'm not 100% sure.. but I don't think you can easily add a third drive like that.. you would have to rebuild it [08:33] slart do you think that means copying from the old array to the new ?

[08:42] asdff: theres also a wine setting to force wine apps into a 'desktop; thats a window of a set size' [08:42] on windows it's easy as 1-2-3 [08:43] ae86-drifter1: wine [08:43] Dr_Willis: I would very much appreciate a link or name of some kind :) [08:43] z3r0-0n3, well how do you do it on windows? perhaps we can find a solution [08:43] its a dos game right>? [08:43] oh [08:43] Dr_Willis: [08:43] I can choose a virtual desktop [08:43] but if I do it sets it automatically to a really small window despite resolution settings [08:43] B3rz3rk3r: its just a box you tick in one of the option windows [08:43] asdff, yeah you can [08:43] lol [08:44] czech [08:44] z3r0-0n3, lol, you will need to be more descriptive than that [08:44] it doesn't fix it though [08:44] obiwan_: afaik sockets or pipes aren't processes.. a daemon is a normal process afaik [08:44] asdff, you can also define the virtual resolution [08:44] ae86-drifter1: that is what I was referring to [08:44] it does not resize it properly [08:44] it sets it automatically to an uber small window [08:44] obiwan_: if you want to list open ports and such there's "netstat" [08:44] whois ubuntu-cz irc channel? [08:44] is there an open office channel? [08:44] where [08:45] B3rz3rk3r: i cant remember the exact place where the option resides. you just select both connections, right click on them, and somewhere along the way you can tick a box to bridge them [08:45] asdff, even if you run the actual game in fullscreen and set the resolution for wine bigger [08:45] !cz [08:45] České uživatele žádáme, aby mluvili v kanále #ubuntu anglicky. Česky je možno se domluvit v #ubuntu-cz. Děkujeme. [08:45] whoops [08:45] ae86-drifter1: to run it in full screen I have to turn off virtual desktop. Aside from that I know no way of changing the resolution. I tried a command line trick to make it run at 57hz, but it says this is unsupported ;/. [08:45] I have vista and I installed xubuntu, but I have little space in it.how can I uninstal it and then reinstal it with more space available?I'm In trouble. [08:46] obiwan_: try to explain what you're trying to do [08:46] Could anyone tell me if there is a way to setup my ethernet and wifi connection (both to the same network) to transfer over the connection if one is disconnected so that nothing streaming is interrupted and so I don't need to relogin to my VPN? [08:46] Slart: i'm trying to know if a program is running as daemon or not [08:46] asdff, okay so you want to add a custome resolution into your xorg? [08:46] ae86-drifter1: the link explains it pretty well. [08:46] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5144003 [08:46] Slart: top does that work, so i thought some simpler program can do it too [08:47] it's like a tty so you can ctrl-alt f7/f8 in and out [08:47] which part do u have trouble with [08:47] z3r0-0n3, if there is a way i doubt its going to be simple... [08:47] ah ok [08:47] how do I get pdfs to open with evince by default instead of acroread? [08:47] obiwan_: how do you see if a process is a daemon in "top" ? [08:47] so.. did you restart x after editing the file? [08:47] resjudicata: right click on a PDF -> properties. select the tool you want [08:47] ae86-drifter1: I appended the lines, (without altering keyboard0/mouse0 as I can not determine their values), and when I restarted Ubuntu informed me it has to run in low graphics mode lol [08:47] airtonix: with what authority do you say that? [08:48] Dr_Willis, but I have to do that everytime, how do I get it to open with evince on double-clicking the file in nautilis? [08:48] hmm I ran the codec finder in totem or whatever that is and installed the gstreamer x264 plugin, trying to play a quicktime 1080p file... what do I need? [08:48] ae86-drifter1: atm when I type ctrl+alt+f7 I have a blank screen =[ [08:48] mawst, use vlc [08:48] z3r0-0n3, if i told you i would have to neutralise you >< [08:49] airtonix: you'd have to neuter me? [08:49] can anybody tell me how can I uninstal xubuntu and then reinstal it? [08:49] z3r0-0n3, what was the method that you used to do this on Windows? If you dont know what its called, then tell me where i can find it and il have a look [08:49] ae86-drifter1, isn't vlc going to need a codec too? [08:49] resjudicata: select the default app - its in the properties stuff i just mentioned [08:49] mawst, nope [08:49] obiwan_: afaik a daemon is just a regular process that runs in the background.. ie it's not under direct user control.. some daemons have a special parent process.. but that's not necessary either [08:49] z3r0-0n3, to be serious though, is this something you can already achieve with other systems ? [08:49] B3rz3rk3r: someone did it for me, i just observed. I dont remember that well [08:50] oh, right [08:50] mawst, vlc will install all the codecs u need [08:50] Dr_Willis, thanks :) [08:50] i tried to make my usb flash do a live boot, but i dont get a menu option saying "Try Ubuntu without any change to your computer" [08:50] airtonix: i achieved it under windows [08:50] is there an open office channel? [08:50] turtle_: what does it say then? [08:50] asdff, did you check the x log [08:50] lol I didn't even know there was one, I'm fairly newb to nix [08:51] Install Ubuntu/Check CD for defects/Test memory/Boot from first hard disk [08:51] z3r0-0n3, is there a one word phrase to describe this feature ? [08:51] airtonix: merge [08:51] airtonix, bridging? [08:51] thats what i suggested earlier to z3r0-0n3, but he claims its not that [08:51] they call it merging connections in windows [08:52] z3r0-0n3, so i assume there is nothing on ubuntuforums about it ? [08:52] hello [08:52] B3rz3rk3r: i never said that [08:52] hello, I have a hardy server and I need a package, like locales-all on Debian, does anybody know this package's alternative? [08:52] asdff, /var/log/xorg [08:52] /win 2 [08:52] airtonix: it's called bridging [08:52] i think [08:52] oops [08:52] asdff, that Xorg.conf example is pretty old - for example i believe the Subsection "Display" / Modes line has been changed to "Option "metamodes" ...", also I hope you didn't past the monitor section into your xorg, as it's probably incorrect [08:52] airtonix: ill have to try that [08:52] ZykoticK9: haha alas, I did. [08:52] ok Slart sry i could read a help inside htop and it says the types are running, sleping, zombie etc not daemon pipe and stuff ok thanks man [08:52] asdff, did you happen to make a backup of your origional xorg? [08:53] llutz, you understand what z3r0-0n3 wants? i thought bridging was something else slightly different [08:53] ZykoticK9: I merely appended those lines, thus there is no data loss [08:53] asdff, could you pastebin your xorg [08:53] obiwan_: you're welcome [08:53] ZykoticK9: kk brb [08:53] i have a dual boot system setup (winxp/karmic) but I don't want the kids to get into xp with out my approval, grub(v1) allowed me to enter a hash of a password into /boot/grub.conf to load anything other than the default entry but grub2 I cant seem to find the same option, any ideas? [08:54] need a link once again to the florida team please [08:54] Coded1: you can make it not show a menu at all. [08:54] Coded1, just set a pw for grub [08:54] Dr_Willis, it still allows for enterprising teens to press the shift key while booting [08:54] airtonix: for me it sounds liek bridging, i'm just not sure about the "switch connection" part [08:54] Coded1: break their fingers. [08:55] and also does anyone know if delicious installs a icons for bookmark or it it all online only [08:55] Coded1: and you can set the timeout i think to where it dose4nt allow that. but i havent bothered [08:55] z3r0-0n3, does this describe what you want ? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1058695 [08:55] ZykoticK9: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m790a4acf, thanks [08:55] Dr_Willis, that would work but then they wouldn't need a computer either ;) [08:55] llutz: i want to be able to switch from ethernet to wireless without interrupting my VPN connection [08:56] ae86-drifter_, where do I find the section to set the password? [08:56] Coded1, http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Security.html#Security [08:56] z3r0-0n3: thats the part i'm not sure about [08:56] asdff, ok you have mismatched Monitor/Screen sections for sure -- could we possibly start this process again? probably easiest thing to do? [08:56] ^_^ [08:56] kk [08:57] Coded1, sorry thats for grub 1 , see here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1369019 [08:57] ZykoticK9: tbh I am really not fussed, just want SC to work in full screen without cropping :s [08:58] asdff, ok - start by making a backup "cd /etc/X11 && sudo mv xorg.conf xorg.starcraft", then "sudo nvidia-xconfig", then pastebin the new xorg [08:58] ae86-drifter_, ty [08:58] Kk brb [08:59] airtonix: no that's not what i meant [08:59] hey ZykoticK9 forgive my entry level knowledge, but the following command doesn't work: sudo cp /etc/X11 /etc/XBAK [09:01] how come i didnt have to identify my nick to talk [09:01] asdff, you can't copy you need to move the xorg.conf or the nvidia-xconfig will fail - so you need to cd /etc/X11 then "sudo mv xorg.conf xorg.starcraft" (you would have to use "sudo cp -r /etc/x11 /etc/XBAK" [09:02] ah cheers, that was more than helpful [09:02] ae86-drifter_: because this channel isn't set to require that [09:02] rww, ah ok.. i beleive it used to be [09:02] never mind.. ot [09:03] ZykoticK9: k made the new xorg.conf file using that command [09:03] ae86-drifter_: It used to be, yes. [09:03] anyone use delicious for bookmarks? [09:03] ae86-drifter_: It changes based on whether the channel's experiencing spam problems. [09:03] asdff, now pastebin it [09:03] rww, oh ok cool [09:04] ZykoticK9: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m74bca507 (lol that is a really handy command) [09:04] hey. kde seems to be bugging me a lot. will a remove kubuntu-desktop and install ubuntu-desktop remove all kde packages and give me the gnome packages? [09:04] I find kfce far lighter than gnome [09:04] titan_ark, just keep it, choose youre session at login [09:05] titan_ark: use "purge" and not "remove" to get rid of everything [09:05] that way u can run kde dependant apps still [09:05] ae86-drifter1: gnome* [09:05] surely [09:05] ae86-drifter_: the entire desktop environment just for the libraries and a few apps is a bit extreme [09:05] ae86-drifter_: its too much clutter [09:05] asdff, i use lxde [09:06] ae86-drifter1: how is that like? I've messed around with awesome, openbox, gnome and xfce [09:06] titan_ark, oh ok well its up to u, i just have it there for redundancy [09:06] ae86-drifter_: okay [09:06] asdff, its kind of similar to xfce [09:06] so if i do what i was asking then i should have like a new install of gnime-ubuntu right?> [09:07] ae86-drifter1: ah ok. and whilst I find gnome too slow, I still use the gnome-panel lol. solely for the weather panel add on [09:07] asdff, do you know that your native resolution is set to? like 1280x1024? [09:07] asdff, that would be loading gnome libs lol.. [09:07] i think i may have found my answer, [09:07] , [09:08] is this working right? [09:08] ZykoticK9: 1440 x 990 methinks or 900 or something. It's like 16:10 [09:08] asdff, actually don't worry about it - we'll try auto first [09:08] i lost my encrption key for my home folder any ideas? lol [09:08] ae86-drifter1: I still have gnome installed, also if I run a full gnome session xorg memory leaks on me [09:08] ZykoticK9: kk [09:08] asdff, http://paste.ubuntu.com/370803/ try that - i'll be right back, gotta take the dog out [09:09] asdff, oh ok, yeah lxde/xfce are the best imo [09:09] asdff, restart GDM after you make the change [09:09] ah [09:09] ZykoticK9: thanks for your help man [09:09] asdff, i still use gnome apps when i have to on lxde === z3r0 is now known as z3r0-0n3 [09:09] hi somebody can helpme? i can't install correctly my ubuntu in my new laptop [09:10] plis somebody can help me?

[09:13] Appended the line under default depth [09:13] Which process do I need to kill to restart the GDM [09:13] asdff, have you restarted X? [09:13] soz for being a noob lol [09:13] not yet [09:14] asdff, this is going to log you out "sudo service gdm restart" [09:14] kk brb then ;} [09:14] Good evening, gentlemen! [09:15] well my screen is back to normal and pretty again :3 [09:15] ZykoticK9: so if I try and run starcraft it should work :S what about the ctrl alt bussiness? [09:15] asdff, fire up StarCraft and see how we're doing [09:15] :3 cheers man brb [09:17] ZykoticK9: unfortunately it is still cutting out the bottom of the game :( Also ctrl+alt+f7/f8 doesn't do anything (I'm not sure if that is relevant). [09:17] well it does do something.. just doesn't switch 'screens' [09:18] Where can i get the source code of apt utillity? [09:18] sigh it switches screens it just isn't a GUI screen it's a normal TTY screen* sorry about the lack of clarity [09:18] asdff, the f7/f8 doesn't apply to what we're trying - is there any resolution selection in the game? like is it running at 640x480, as all these instructions are based on that resolution [09:19] chetnick: sudo apt-get source apt [09:20] ZykoticK9: nah unfortunately there is no in game resolution selection. I am fairly sure it is meant to be 640x480, I will google it though. Also there is allegedly a shortcut in wine 'ctrl +' which allows you to change the size, but it doesn't work for me. [09:20] ZykoticK9: yeah SC's native resolution is 640x480 [09:20] llutz: thanks, the location of pulled source will be at /usr/src ? [09:20] What's the easiest way to update to the latest ntfs-3g and make sure that it's updated automatically like the rest of packages? [09:20] help...my system is crashing about every other bootup [09:20] asdff, ya everything pointed to that [09:20] chetnick: yes [09:20] ok thanks man. === Guest16283 is now known as David-T === mint is now known as Xeddy [09:21] the crashes happen like this: every application shuts down, usually in the order I started them, until the system hangs [09:21] and then when I reboot, it is perfectly fine [09:21] this usually happens about 5 minutes after bootup [09:21] System: Host mint Kernel 2.6.31-19-generic i686 (32 bit) Distro Linux Mint 8 Helena - Main Edition [09:22] I suspect this is not entirely an ubuntu problem, as it has been happening when the system had XP [09:22] lol my sound stopped working [09:22] and also before I replaced my motherboard and memory [09:23] yorick: thermal issues [09:23] hello people [09:23] I am trying to setup ubuntu as an ldap server. I followed the community page, and I configured it correctly, but it seems that slapd is listening only on 127.0.0.1, instead of all ips (0.0.0.0). Anyone know why? [09:24] Antalya, welcome [09:24] asdff, that's certainly unrelated to xorg stuff? just for testing edit the xorg "metamodes" to just "metamodes" "640x480" and restart x again (you should have only 640x480 resolution i'm affraid, but i want to see if the game still gets cutoff) [09:24] Yorvik: grrr... [09:24] ZykoticK9: yeah it is, sometimes my sound just screws up and a restart of the session fixes it. Didn't mean for you to concern yourself :P. And that's ok I'll try that. [09:25] llutz: hmm...how would thermal issues affect this then? [09:25] yorick: check cpu/board temperatures [09:25] I think I figured it out -- /etc/defaults (someone had modified it) [09:25] yorick: run memtest to make sure, memory is OK [09:26] llutz: sys: 30.0C, cpu: 55.5C, AUX: 50.5C [09:26] !mintsupport | Xeddy [09:26] Xeddy: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [09:26] llutz: memtest has repeatedly shown no errors [09:27] tonyyarusso, ubottu: Just assume I'm using Ubuntu..

[09:50] zvacet: what are you trying to compile? [09:50] damn, no matter what i do i cant get rid of my kde install!!! [09:50] lxde session edit [09:51] zvacet: it seems to require GTK development libraries, and you don;t have them installed. there's no package for this app? [09:51] I am having a sound echo problem while trying to watch the live shuttle launch on spacevidcast.com any suggestions?? this has happened before but only with local avi's I fixed the problem by switching video players, obviously not an option now [09:51] Myrtti, i tried it, but still the same [09:51] hi, does anyone know why pidgin doesn't connect to internet even if the network is working?, I've killed NetworkManager and used wpa_supplicant instead and now I've the network working but it doesn't connect I'm using right now xchat and I had no problem setting it up, any ideas? [09:51] no you have to compile it witch libraries I have to install [09:52] titan_ark: um, the questiion... I'm not familiae with the procedure on a personal level, but I'm sure there are some webpages that explain the procedure [09:53] titan_ark: do you waqnt to switch from kde to something else and remove kde [09:53] Myrtti, ah okay. the splash screen log in option of kde still exist. and now i am using 9.5 gigs instead of the earlier 7.9 [09:54] zvacet, yes that is what i tried but cant seem to clean up [09:54] i was thinking about the smae thing [09:54] zvacet: look at the last line of the paste. it tells you what development libraries are missing. [09:54] titan_ark: did you install ubuntu-desktop? [09:55] !puregnome > titan_ark [09:55] titan_ark, please see my private message [09:55] i have kubuntu but i was thinking xbuntu or ubuntu whats the best i like the GUI in kubuntu but ubuntu has more apps and not as good gui\ [09:55] mneptok, i did a sudo apt-get purge kubuntu-desktop && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop, after that sudo apt-get --purge remove kdelibs4c2a kdelibs5-data [09:55] titan_ark, not sure if you've already seen/done that [09:55] I s it gtk+-2.0 >= 2.12.0 I can not find them in synaptic sorry for be so stupid [09:55] titan_ark: sudo apt-get purge kdm [09:56] ZykoticK9, i did a sudo apt-get purge kubuntu-desktop && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop, after that sudo apt-get --purge remove kdelibs4c2a kdelibs5-data [09:56] mneptok, okay shall try [09:56] zvacet: libgtk2.0-dev [09:56] mneptok, 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [09:56] Does anyone have a suggestion please on what I might be able to do to rectify a terrible echoing I'm getting whilst watching spacevidcast.com?? [09:57] titan_ark: see http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome [09:57] titan_ark, just an FYI but i'd try (in the order) what the !puregnome suggested -- also "sudo apt-get purge kubuntu-desktop" doesn't do anything other then remove an empty package [09:58] zvacet, thx [09:58] zvacet, shall try [09:59] ZykoticK9, well, i was just following some ones instructions. i am quite a noob [09:59] ZykoticK9, thanks for informing :) [09:59] titan_ark, :) [10:00] titan_ark, kubuntu-desktop ubuntu-desktop etc are called Meta packages (they just point to other packages) and they often cause confusion in this channel. [10:01] hoo [10:01] cannot tell [10:01] Hey all. How do you normally disable unwanted services from starting up? I want to remove avahi-daemon & modem-manager [10:02] ZykoticK9, ah okay :) well started the process. just not doing the && ubuntu install. will remove 131 packages (and stuff like vlc) :( but still only freeing 430 MB [10:02] mneptok: I ´m installing it right now I will tell you how it goes [10:03] anyone knows the ubuntu 10.4 channel? [10:03] tmw1, #ubuntu+1 [10:03] ok [10:04] HI! Computer A and computer B are in a LAN. Both computers have recycle bins - files are moved to them before deletion... User of computer A browses a directory of computer B (remotely) and then deletes some file X from it. Which recycle bin will it get into? [10:04] HI! Computer A and computer B are in a LAN. Both computers have recycle bins - files are moved to them before deletion... User of computer A browses a directory of computer B (remotely) and then deletes some file X from it. Which recycle bin will it get into? [10:04] q0k: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:04] ZykoticK9, zvacetit still is occupying more space than the kde install! why is it so? [10:04] titan_ark, you might want to check /var/log and see if any of your logs have grown to huge sizes (doubt they have but worth checking) [10:05] FloodBot3, here it is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/370839/ [10:05] q0k: If they go into the recycle bin at all, they'd go into Bs bin [10:05] ZykoticK9, the log folder is 911 Megs! [10:05] titan_ark, there you go! [10:05] Flannel, I can tell you : in Windows XP, it goes into nowhere... just disappears. Is it a peculiarity of Microsoft? [10:05] !blacklist [10:05] To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » [10:06] ^ Speedy2 [10:06] q0k: That'd be entirely configurable (either by the user, or the person who wrote the program), so I have no idea. [10:06] ZykoticK9, so how do I clean it up? [10:06] shallo [10:06] Flennel, can you test it in real 2 Ubuntu computers? [10:06] hallo [10:06] Speedy2: oh... sry... you're not talking about modules... [10:06] reto`: I'm not talking about a module, I mean a "daemon" [10:07] Flennel, I have many positive readings about Ubuntu, and now this practical question... [10:07] titan_ark, honestly - i'm really not sure, typically i just go in and blow stuff away (NOT a good idea really) [10:07] ZykoticK9, :D yeah especially for a n00b like me :P [10:07] reto`: Any ideas for services? [10:08] ZykoticK9, could you suggest someone who would know? [10:08] Flannel, can you test it in real 2 Ubuntu computers? [10:08] or is there a cleanup tool? [10:08] hey guys, how do i get an ident response? [10:08] q0k: I can't, no. But yes, testing it would be the best way to find out. [10:09] Speedy2: system/administration/services? [10:09] titan_ark, not a big help at all but on topic for sure http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=299348 [10:10] reto`: I tried, but it doesn't show services that are running as running (i.e. avahi-daemon) [10:10] ZykoticK9, okay thx [10:12] hei, i do not know if this is offtopic, how can i get the source code of the game Mine? [10:12] Speedy2: try rcconf [10:12] reto`: Yeah, I tried that guy too [10:12] Speedy2: and? [10:13] reto`: It shows the services I don't want as disabled (I used it to disable them) but they still start [10:13] reto`: avahi-daemon is a good example. [10:15] mneptok: iti s solved tnx :) [10:16] hi! http://paste.ubuntu.com/370847/ [10:16] titan_ark, i've been searching for an easy way to manage the logs - didn't find one. Basically though you could safely get rid of all the files in /var/log that end in .gz (these are older compressed logs BTW) === radek is now known as Guest74141 [10:18] Speedy2: http://en.kioskea.net/faq/739-disabling-the-avahi-daemon [10:18] can anyone tell me how to restart the alsa sound module after editing alsa.conf without restarting ubuntu?? its because something else is running and I cannot reboot ubuntu atm but need sound [10:18] reto`: I found that too and tried it. No go :( [10:19] hi! http://paste.ubuntu.com/370847/ is a practical Question. Could you please do it? (I'm not an Ubuntu user yet) [10:19] q0k: I'm pretty sure that if you delete a file in nautilus over the network, it pops up a warning saying that it can't move it to trash and will actually delete it. [10:19] I need to upgrade the memory of my pc with the same type. Is there a command which tels me what kind of memory I already have? [10:19] xukun, dmidecode [10:20] rww, is it from your experience? [10:20] xukun: "sudo lshw -C memory" might be helpful [10:20] Speedy2: well, then stick around until a pro gets in, eh? [10:20] thanks Seveas rww [10:20] reto`: Do you have avahi-daemon running in the background as well? [10:20] q0k: that's from deleting files accessed through Nautilus's ssh support. I don't know if whatever protocol you're talking about does the same. [10:22] Speedy2: no... actually I'm on archlinux... just wanted to see how the ubuntu channels gets along... have been using ubuntu before :) [10:22] reto`: Ah Arch. Just goto rc.d and disbale the daemons you don't want =). [10:23] ZykoticK9, i cant install anything now!!! i get Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? everytime i try [10:23] :P [10:23] Speedy2: well... mostly daemons are not even started until you put them in :) [10:23] can anyone tell me how to restart the alsa sound module after editing alsa.conf without restarting ubuntu?? its because something else is running and I cannot reboot ubuntu atm but need sound [10:24] reto`: Yes, I know. I evaluated Arch before going to Kubuntu. I like most of Arch but when it was such a PITA to get Xorg working, I gave up === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz [10:24] titan_ark, you have a synaptic / update manger / software cetner window open somewhere [10:24] reto`: Mind you, I got it working, but it was kind of annoying. [10:25] titan_ark, if all else fails log out and back in -- did you happen to see my last message to you about the logs and the .gz files? [10:25] ZykoticK9, ah yes [10:25] Speedy2: there's also chakra I heard... arch with KDE [10:25] working now :P [10:25] reto`: Too many bugs right now, but maybe better going forward [10:26] Chakra is still Alpha and personally I think it's terrible [10:26] whats the ubuntu dev channel? [10:26] Does anyone use the off topic irc? [10:26] BUZZA: I do [10:26] whats the # for the off topic? [10:27] !ot [10:27] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [10:27] !lol [10:27] 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. [10:27] lol [10:28] thanks ubottudouch [10:28] Liquid-Silence, #ubuntu-devel [10:28] installing tp-smapi (hardware monitoring on thinkpads) on 9.10 i have to do further compilation, file editing etc. or everything is already in place? [10:29] ubottu: this Supybot is so sensitive :) Anyways..thanks..that was really annoying.. [10:32] fakeer, ubottu is a robot, [10:34] does anyone know how to get the source code of an application, i want to get the code of Mines ( a game of gnome) [10:34] ouyes: yes. i mentioned Supybot. BUZZA complementing and I did the same. Guess that's okay. [10:34] ouyes: is it open source? [10:34] ouyes: must be as it is for gnome... [10:34] ubottu: source | ouyes [10:34] ouyes: You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html [10:35] ouyes: see.. how intelligent bots are now! [10:36] fakeer, yes , you can treat me as a robot but not very intelligent [10:36] fakeer, you have a good sense of hummer, i like you [10:38] wtf is going on, my ubuntu logs out automatically from time to time and i lose all opened documents and stuff [10:38] can anyone tell me how to restart the alsa sound module after editing alsa.conf without restarting ubuntu?? its because something else is running and I cannot reboot ubuntu atm but need sound [10:39] ZykoticK9, tried a lot of stuff still using 7.5 gigs. just 400 megs less than my old kde install :P [10:40] fuckin ubuntu logs out by itself [10:40] i have no idea what is going on [10:40] ubottu: language | sonN [10:40] sonN: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [10:41] Having some problems with gnome-globalmenu where the menu names are being truncated : http://www.ubuntu-pics.de/bild/41405/screenshot_u0EUnG.png [10:41] rww: You can use "!" instead of "ubottu:" :) [10:41] i got exam tomorow and ubuntu is killing me man... sorry... what can be wrong? [10:41] overmind: I know :) [10:43] what would be a good irc client? xchat is pathetic [10:43] titan_ark: matter of preference, I've always liked irssi but it's not for everyone [10:43] i seccond that on irssi [10:44] Myrtti, hmmmm shall try. i cant seem to be clearing up space on my hdd. [10:45] also how can i set up to get the terminal from the panel diretly? [10:45] accessing from accessories is painful [10:45] titan_ark: have you cleared up your package cache? you could try that [10:45] titan_ark: sudo apt-get clean [10:45] emacs ERC ftw [10:45] Myrtti, tried it, gives back no response [10:46] titan_ark: how about apt-get autoremove [10:46] titan_ark: though, it might be a bit on the dangerous side [10:46] irssi is pretty solid, once you get the hang of it, it can be reconfigured in no time. Plus with the use of scripts... [10:47] Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done [10:47] this is what it gives me [10:47] titan_ark: you could output the command to a file and pastebin it [10:48] mrpink57, could u please tell me how to output it? [10:48] what is the command [10:48] Myrtti, irssi is not a GUI? [10:49] titan_ark: no. [10:49] titan_ark: commandline, but very, very flexible [10:49] Myrtti, lol its not for me then :D [10:49] its a modular cli client combine it with screen or tmux and you've got a pro irc [10:49] Myrtti, i am not very comfortable with CLI [10:49] titan_ark: what is the command you are using so I can give the example [10:50] mrpink57, for autoclean [10:50] titan_ark: sudo apt-get autoclean > autoclean.txt [10:50] titan_ark: should put a txt file in your home folder [10:51] mrpink57, yes it does. just 3 lines :) [10:51] helllo my wifi range with nm is very small i have to keep the laptop near to the modem itself to get a signal detection [10:51] hi, i'm running ubu 9.10 64bits on my C2Duo machine. Having trouble with thunderbird (64bits). How can i install thunderbird 32bits?

[10:52] but i upgraded my laptop [10:52] titan_ark: ok, if you are having issues with a command or getting errors on trying to run something you can output to a file like that and pastebin it here for us to see.
