[00:00] just about to install Jaunty because alot of people with similiar problems mention that jaunty did not have these issues [00:00] mhaedo, hope you find it , I think compile is the right way too go. But have only done it for comipz plugins , Right now I will try compile the kernel [00:00] Blindsite1: did you add a repo for wine and didn't add the key to that repo? [00:00] can somone give me advice why i need use seperate partition for /home? [00:00] Asmob: can be rather usefl if you want to re install Ubuntu or distro hop [00:00] mobi-sheep ok also virtualbox 3.0 won't install i keep getting kernall module compile failed [00:00] MeerCat: Worked, thanks. ke1ha_: Working thanks, but I tried entering a passkey that I just created and I got invalid pass [00:00] Asmob: it gives flexibilty to have partitions on seperate disks [00:01] as sebsebseb mentioned is a reaason [00:01] repo? [00:01] You have to go to Standford, and apply for a passkey, it will be emailed to you. [00:01] sebsebseb, distro hop? [00:01] repository [00:01] MeerCat: seperate disks? you just mean partitions on same hard disk? [00:01] ah yeah [00:01] added that in the other sorces area [00:01] ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa [00:02] im getting 2 wines show up on the list, the beta and the stable version [00:02] MeerCat, sebsebseb, so do i need make /home on seperate partition? [00:02] guys anyone know is there some sort of tracker in nokia phones that are removed when the phone arrives in shops [00:02] i want the install the stable ver bu it wont le me [00:03] Asmob: distro hop as in, get rid of Ubuntu and try some thing else, and then real proper distro hoppers will go through loads of distros like that, not spending that long on each. I think it's better to run a distro that is good enough Ubuntu for example as the host operating system, and then virtual machine other distros, if people want to use others as well. Or have another distro on another computer even. [00:03] home can be mounted on a seperate disk or everthing can be partitoned on one disk,, if possible its cool to have partitions on seperate disks,, one reason is in cause of a disk failure.. say your root disk failed however home didn't exist there,, then you can simply reinstall the OS on the root disk and mount /home back [00:03] ke1ha_: Where would I go about doing that? I've been searching for a place to register or something. The only one I can see is for a team [00:03] Asmob: its not a requirement [00:03] Asmob: by default Ubuntu puts /home in / [00:03] Arsin: Also, it may have installed and downloaded the apps, but you still need to start it with ./foldingathome/folding start [00:03] Asmob: and gives you swap space as well [00:04] hi [00:04] Asmob: creating a seperate home partition is easier to do before Ubuntu get's installed, but it can be done after woulds [00:04] sebsebseb, now i instaled / 20gb /home about 290 and /swap 2gb is that good? [00:04] F@H Passkey Info: http://www.stanford.edu/group/pandegroup/folding/FAQ-passkey.html [00:05] Asmob: ok you already instaled Ububuntu and set up like that? [00:05] sebsebseb, yes but i dont now is it good [00:05] anyone know a irc server or a channel where i can ask questions about nokia mobile phones [00:05] i have a motherboard with some sort of integrated graphics, i can't find details on what the chipset is called. how do i know what graphics drivers to use? [00:05] Asmob: SWAP depends on how much RAM you have, and 20GB is more than you need for / when you got big seperate /home [00:05] Asmob: with big seperate /home I would make / 10 to 12GB or a little bit bigger then that [00:05] yea i would put all that home if anywhere [00:05] Arsin: once you started the client, do the install service with: sudo ./installservice and the server install script with do the checkconfig for you. [00:06] I need some help. I just installed Ubuntu 9.10 on a portable flash drive (8GB) but when I plug in my secondary monitor, and click resolution button, the whole thing freezes on me. And when I am able to get the changes on the resolution area, it does the samething [00:06] thats where the files you acquire would end up any way so give it more space.. === john is now known as Guest11965 === murray is now known as Guest71153 [00:06] bear in mind, most stuff you install goes in /usr so you for me, I need quite a lot for / for games and such that install from repo or debs [00:06] sebsebseb, sory / is 15gb and my ram is 2gb [00:06] yea duffydack thats correct as well [00:06] Asmob: SWAP should be double your RAM [00:07] it would be nice to have the choice [00:07] swap should be 1 - 1.5 times ram actually [00:07] sebsebseb, / is alredy 21% taken..

[00:08] mint_: i use dual monitors with nvidia cards all the time [00:09] sebsebseb, but pc dont use it at all.. maybe just in hibernate [00:09] mint_, what's your question (if you aren't using Nvidia i'm no help) [00:09] i use duals at work.. i use nvidia as well [00:09] !swap | Asmob [00:09] Asmob: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough.

[00:13] seanbrystone to close, use eject -t :-D [00:13] Dr_Willis: what you mean a bug? Would this happen if I am booted on a flash drive?

[00:16] MeerCat| Blindsite1: what happends now? [00:16] Blindsite1: use the forums [00:17] Asmob: Re installing programs isn't exactly an issue for Ubuntu and most other popular distros, because of repos where they can be easilly installed from.

I installed Fallout Online (uses Fallout 2 graphics) in Windows and in Ubuntu I can run the exe using Wine. However, I get some rather odd video artifacts.

[00:58] blakkeim: maybe for you it isnt [00:58] i have my reasons [00:58] jenia_: It does not do that automatically for you? I just tried middle-click-down and scroll. [00:58] teage: ok... [00:58] Utgard, you might need to use testdisk < they are both made by the same people [00:59] teage: there's probably a better way which is usually why people ask that question.

The beta pretty much saved an old laptop of mine (runs perfectly, really impressive) but I'm having one minor issue I know how to fix in ubuntu, but not lubuntu [01:32] kaddi: yes it is.

[01:34] Is there ANY native Linux USA Income Tax Software that is NOT open source, and commercially supported? [01:35] meowbuntu, full [01:35] Who are you [01:35] dht123: no. thats why Linux is Open Source [01:35] dht123: lol be serious. If it is NATIVE LINUX it would be OPENSOURCE [01:35] are you sure wow. could it also install an full os to a usb hdd [01:35] dht123: you might be able to run TurboTax (commercially supported) using Wine [01:35] bazhang, are you sure wow. could it also install an full os to a usb hdd [01:35] dht123, have you tried it with "wine" .. I know Quicken works under wine. [01:35] as if OPENSOURCE would mean your tax data would be insecure [01:35] I don't trust open source software to do my taxes properly -- I don't want to be audited... [01:35] hey my automount dose not work [01:36] dht123: logoff then [01:36] is it a good idea to mount /var/run when using a chroot? === alan_ is now known as ahgilbert [01:36] and trust your data to closed sources [01:36] TurboTax does NOT work under Wine. Error Message: Access Denied [01:36] i pluged in a harddrive in my laptop in the cd rom slot and it dose not show [01:36] dht123: VIRTUALBOX [01:36] The issue is, my laptop has a crappy touchpad for a mouse, and when I'm typing the thing sometimes gets hit and I find out later I've messed up what I was typing. I know how to disable it while typing in ubuntu (edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf i beleive? Among other ways) but that doesnt seem to work in Lubuntu. Any other way to do it? Or even just disable to touchpad altogether since its useless and I just use an external mouse anyway [01:37] dht123, ay opensorce applications are just the same as anyother applications. only differance is that you have the ability to freely modify them from the sorce code if you know how. [01:37] Only other option, VM .. and install WinDoze. [01:37] BrainDance: the mouse option in the system menu [01:37] VirtualBox is a pain to set up -- I'm not a very technical user... I'm used to windows. [01:37] at least in gnome [01:37] dht123: then windows 7 it is then [01:37] case closed [01:37] 由中国人吗？有会汉语的吗？ [01:37] ke1ha_, sorry y do you need windozzy [01:38] why does gnome give me little freeze glitches? [01:38] BrainDance: i have syndaemon -i 0.5 -d -t -K running as a background task. works like a charm [01:38] Nope, Dont use WinDoze for much of anything. [01:38] If you have a windows license to run under VirtualBox for accessing Turbotax,etc, then why do you need linux? [01:38] meowbuntu: not really. When it comes to tax software if I get audited, I can blame TurboTax. If it's open source software, I have no waranty. I'm on my own. [01:38] I got to the "keyboard and mouse" utility, but couldn't find anything about turning off the touchpad, it gave me very limited options in lubuntu, just "accelleration" "sensitivity" and "left handed" for mouse [01:38] kde runs good but gnome always has tiny glitch freezes [01:38] BrainDance: 0.5 is the number of seconds to wait before reenabling touchpad after last key pressed [01:38] !cn | administrator_ [01:38] administrator_: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [01:38] darthanubis: your answers are not helping to solve my problem... [01:38] I just want to find SOME kind of commercially supported tax software. How hard can it be?!? [01:39] kaddi, I'm not that well versed in linux, skills limited to a community college class back in the day in redhat, so would that just be a terminal command or how would I go about doing that? [01:39] dht123: you don't have a problem except maybe in comprehension. Use Windows7 and you won;t have this tax situation [01:39] Install VMware Player, then Windows x-version and install Turbo, problem solved. [01:39] darthanubis: why are you even in an ubuntu channel? [01:39] you can't use any of the solutons I gave you because you confess your not too bright to do so [01:39] you complain about linux not being trustworhty software [01:39] dht123, who can audit you. its on your computer. adn if you have firewalls its pritty muchscure. [01:39] dht123, none of the commercial tax software makers believe the linux crowd is an audience worth the development time. They only want windows users. We have to use windows if we want their software, end of their story. [01:39] Sorry to take up your time being relatively illiterate. Stayed out of a CS major because of my lack in math skills :P [01:39] meowbuntu: The IRS... [01:40] you want to use a cloed source windows only tax app [01:40] ke1ha_, sorry y do you need windozzy [01:40] BrainDance: yes, that would be a terminal command. syndaemon --help will give you all the options you have. unless you set it up as a service (I believe) you will have to run the command on every boot [01:40] Ïðèâåò âñåì [01:40] did I miss anything?

[01:40] darthanubis: I want to use A TAX application on linux... [01:40] Where would I go to find out how to set it up as a service? I mean if its an involved process I wouldnt want to take up too much of your time [01:40] thank you ubottu [01:40] You don't trust the software, troll somewhere else then [01:40] I am interested now [01:40] but thank you a lot, for helping out kaddi [01:40] dht123, . they cant hack into your computer without your permission. remember linux is atm virus free. i dont understand ???

[01:41] can the people in #ubuntu-ru handle cp1251? [01:41] Ten use what you trust [01:41] use what you trust [01:41] in the environment you wish [01:41] Dht123, you're wanting a linux-based tax application that comes with an IRS Audit warranty. There are none. You and I are both stuckk with Windows. I borrow my Dad's machine once a year for the purpose. Or I could do it with their Online Turbotax service if I couldn't borrow. [01:41] Win7 is not going to solve Tax problems, only the user can do that. If the worry is gattign audited, hire an accountant, that's what they do for a living. [01:41] I gave you an app where you can do that [01:41] meowbuntu: you have to send tax return forms to the IRS by law in the USA. Do you even know what I am talking about? [01:41] dht123: noone would buy a closed-tource application for linux and no commerce will give warranties when there's no money to be made. so no such a thing doesn't exist [01:42] hey guys.... i'm a little unsure of where to go for crunchbang questions.. i'm terrible at navigating IRC [01:42] dht123, you have been given some solutions. Please consider them and stop repeating.

[01:42] darthanubis, thank you, that was far easier than i expected [01:42] Kaddi, I would, and have, purchased closed-source apps to run on LInux. Games, mostly, that I couldn't get otherwise. [01:42] kaddi: yes I would buy depending on what the app is [01:43] crunchbang: yw, look before you leap ;) [01:43] how can i connect to vpn network in jolicloud [01:43] So, in this channel, everyones just free to give out help? Thats actually surprising. Most times I've had problems with some kind of software or whatever, and go to an irc channel related to it, I get berrated [01:43] I think this is going to be a useful channel :) [01:43] so let me get this straight -- there are NO tax applications AT ALL for Linux?

[01:44] I tried turbo tax under wine till it wanted .net framework [01:44] dht123: http://www.linux.com/archive/feature/130716 [01:44] I dont care if it's under wine as long as it works and I don't have to buy a copy of Win7... [01:45] woodyjlw: specficially for wine you can just go to ~\ and delete the folder .wine. In general you can do a apt-get purge to remove the package and the settings [01:45] dht123: http://www.google.com/search?q=doing+taxes+ubuntu+OR+linux [01:45] dht123: None of last years packages would, I haven't looked at this years'. [01:45] how can i connect to vpn network in jolicloud [01:45] kaddi: moving is usually better than removing if it doesn't take up a lot of space, just in case it's needed later [01:45] kaddi, thanks [01:45] Is there an expected timeframe for a release of a non-beta Lubuntu? Because seriously I'm impressed [01:46] teage if it's a .net application wouldn't it run under mono? Or is only part of it using .net? [01:46] the laptop I'm on is terrible, Ubuntu barely ran, Windows XP barely ran, but the Lubuntu beta runs perfectly [01:46] braden_: http://www.jolicloud.com/community [01:46] dht123, Intuit has an ONLINE TAX form service based on TurboTax. If I were so inclined/had no windows access at all, that's what I'd use. [01:46] Now is there a program that works under wine that lets you import a 2008 TurboTax file created under Windows Vista? [01:46] BrainDance: good to hear :) [01:46] BrainDance: you ever tried xubuntu? [01:46] kaddi: it all runs in VBOX [01:46] I have not [01:46] chelz: (s)he specifically asked for remove, so I gave him/jer what (s)he asked for :p [01:46] dht123, yes you are saying that an opensorse applications are not secure i dont get y [01:46] BrainDance: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule [01:46] BrainDance: or some other lower-resource-sucking distro [01:46] The only distros I've tried are Ubuntu, Lubuntu, and I plan on trying Mythbuntu [01:46] À òåïåðü? [01:46] dht123: that is probably something you'd have to research on your own. i'm guessing turbotax wouldn't work to get it easily imported into anything else, but there might be [01:46] kaddi: not sure , the app completely blitzed when was time to install .net [01:46] darthanubis: which would mean having a valid windows version to install on it [01:47] kaddi: ah i didn't see that, just trying to be helpful [01:47] kaddi: you assume too much [01:47] meowbuntu: I am NOT talking about security. I am talking about the reliability of Tax calculations that need to be very precise regardless of confusing tax laws and regulations. [01:47] dht123: I just realized turbotax online uses flash. How cruel. [01:47] watis the difference between an empty session and restore previous session? (startup) [01:47] Im on D400 Laptop right, with two runnign in VM, UB-910 and XB-910 .. only 512MB ram and it's runnign like a champ. [01:47] teage: i've tried to install .net with no luck in wine, that doesn't seem to work [01:47] assume' what is meaning? [01:47] darthanubis: how do you run windows applications in vbox without a full windows install? [01:47] harjot: the difference between the words empty and resume [01:47] I had always thought before that a low-resource distro would be super bare-bones, and barely able to do anything useful, but really, lubuntu (while a little buggy, but its a beta) doesn't really sacrifice anything. Yeah it comes with less packages by default but everything runs and it runs with just as many features, just without killingn this old laptop [01:48] How do you people who have been using Linux for a while now file your taxes? [01:48] darthanubis: what other info can I provide you that would be of help in assisting me solve this problem? [01:48] dht123: in terms of software to automate the tax process, proprietary software does have the upper-hand atm. used licenses of windows aren't that expensive also. you might keep a small partition around to boot to for proprietary purposes [01:48] dht123: No. TurboTax file is a proprietary file IMO. Alternately, use form 4506-T and request a computer copy of your tax return. :) [01:48] kaddi: again, you assume I imply without [01:48] holass [01:48] =) [01:48] darthanubis: i was trying to get at what is restored and wat isnt [01:48] dht123: turbotax online, manually, pay someone else to do it [01:48] I convinced my fiancee' to put Ubuntu on her laptop, and she says it grew on her, and now that shes comfortable she prefers it over windows [01:48] dht123: taxact.com [01:48] Most people use Services for Tax's not Linux. [01:48] kaddi: nope, I use vmware for things like that. love my linux but hate when i have to go back to windows for things like that. [01:48] BrainDance: i'd be curious how crunchbang is compared to lubuntu for what you do [01:48] harjot: I think a dictionay would suit you better than this channel [01:48] dht123: there are plenty of free ways to e-file [01:48] darthanubis: maybe so [01:49] BrainDance: ubuntu netbook edition just needs a bit more polishing and i'm going to try to get it onto all the laptops i can [01:49] darthanubis: but seriously what type of things are saved [01:49] darthanubis: since dht123 asked how to run the software without buying a version of windows I'm intrigued to see what you assumed [01:49] kaddi, that worked. I had to add sudo in front of it but it worked [01:49] jrib: I'm not concerned about e-filing as much as not making mistakes... filing taxes manually is very confusing. [01:49] kaddi: I wonder if OSX has a handle on them sort of things [01:49] In all honesty, I hated linux for a while, back in 2004 I was a senure in highschool, dual enrolled and took a class in redhat, after that I hated it. I thought everything was just harder to do than in windows and took more time, so what was the point? But early last year I gave it another try, things have changed a lot [01:49] kaddi: I stopped paying him attentio a while ago so I missed that part [01:49] Whats crushbang? Another distro? [01:50] I thought about trying netbook edition, even though this isnt a netbook [01:50] darthanubis: any idea? [01:50] harjot: the things you have running? or intentionally save. I mean, really, what else? [01:50] dht123: so you either try and make an existing package work in Wine, or use an online filing tool. or do it yourself with a calculator [01:50] darthanubis: well next time i suggest you stop replying once you stopped paying attention to what the person asking is actually saying [01:50] BrainDance: a window manager bare minimum [01:50] I have yet to have to compile anything on any install right now :) Unlike in 2004 [01:50] kaddi: I did, I was replying to your nonsense [01:50] dht123: you might be able to import to quicken then from quicken import to one of these: http://www.linux.com/archive/feed/49400?theme=print [01:50] darthanubis: what so if i have firfox open, then its gonna stay open? [01:50] dht123: that's what I use, my taxes are simple... [01:50] I'll have to look into it, even on decent computers I hate things that just useless resources, I hate itunes :P === jordan is now known as Guest30597 [01:50] harjot: hence, resume [01:50] BrainDance: wait in another 4 years to see how much you have to compile ;) [01:50] I think its because, back in the day the only computer I had was a 286 for a while, while P2s were out [01:50] hated RedHat for a long time too, until Fedora came along, but I've used Slackware, Slack, Debian, UB, I like UB the most for everyday use, then custom builds for HPC apps. [01:51] darthanubis: ok i was just confused [01:51] So I had to be lean [01:51] harjot: I understand [01:51] !ot | harjot [01:51] BrainDance: if you have very very old low power machines crunchbang is good, but not for much else unless you just dont like gui [01:51] harjot: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [01:51] Its even easier to install software in Ubuntu than Windows, just get a big list of free software, click and choose [01:51] darthanubis: thanks for being an alternative to a dictionary [01:51] ;) [01:51] Can moneydance do US Income Taxes? [01:51] I pretty much forgot most of what I knew about using the terminal, which is a shame, because in Ubuntu I dont have t use it [01:52] dht123: there are at least a half a dozen online services that are free [01:52] but I do want to re-learn [01:52] darthanubis: like what? pointing out that you were assuming the person was having a windows install handy when he actually had stated he hadn't? :p [01:52] dht123: Google + Linux + Taxes Applications === Guest30597 is now known as Jordan_U [01:52] But I cant think of what to do or what I'd even have to do? [01:52] BrainDance, I have heard good things about Puppy Linux but never used it. It is made to run with minimim specs. [01:52] we're not tax experts here. [01:52] BrainDance: I generally use the terminal as a short cut to get programs I like [01:52] How can I log chian's channal? [01:52] TurboTax online doesnt seem to support Linux. I checked. It tells me to "upgrade" my operating system [01:53] ... to Windows 7 [01:53] dht123: you have to spoof your useragent [01:53] Call them, you know, pick up the phone. [01:53] chelz: I don't even know what that means. [01:53] jiohda, sadly every time I've used it I've just been pasting someone elses commands [01:53] dht123: https://turbotaxweb.turbotaxonline.intuit.com/open/registration/Start.htm [01:53] but is it really faster and more efficient to work with a command line? [01:53] kaddi: I figured a lover of all things closed source as he moaned about would have multiple copies of windows on hand. but seriously, they have windows vdis online. But he said he was too dumb and lazy for that even. So he is up a vreek regardless. Mind you, these are his self references not mine. [01:53] BrainDance: for some things that can be automated [01:54] braindance if you learn apt-cache search and then apt-get install whatever you can get programs loads quicker than synaptic [01:54] fajar@sinargalesong.co.id [01:54] thats the thing, on this laptop its just firefox, xchat, abiword, pidgin [01:54] stuff like that [01:54] dht123: konquror has a net feature to be recognized as many browsers, I wonder if it can fool the online turbotax. [01:54] BrainDance, It really depends on what you want to do. [01:54] seeing all this chat about taxes, what is a good linux accounting package? Any recommendations? [01:54] I'd like to tinker around with it more, but unlike in hgihschool I just dont have the time anymore [01:55] BrainDance: if you install lots of machines you will find the benefits, but if not... dont worry about [01:55] BrainDance: you might be lucky enough (from some perspective) to not need to leave GUIs [01:55] ekim1: search the repos [01:55] for "taxes" === jonathan3_ is now known as jonathan3 [01:55] learn to use your software [01:55] ekim1: http://www.linux.com/archive/feature/130716 and http://www.linux.com/archive/feed/49400?theme=print [01:55] I only used Linux because I hate Windows and tech-savvy people I know say it's better -- is it really that unsupported? [01:55] is there a fully featured browser that runs on linux thats more memory efficient than firefox? I love firefox, but to be honest (especially with my tabbed browsing) it really is a memory hog. And I have issues with it not closing right [01:55] Is googles browser any good? [01:55] ^_^ [01:55] Maybe I should just get a Mac...

I didn't see it in synaptic [01:57] kaddi: sounds like you need a usb mouse ;) [01:57] BrainDance: you can try opera its pretty good for ubuntu [01:57] BrainDance: there's also opera as a browser [01:57] BrainDance: go here: http://www.google.com/chrome [01:57] BrainDance: http://www.google.com/search?q=chrome+for+linux [01:57] BrainDance: it has bin file for linux download google it with linux [01:57] hehe jiohdi beat me [01:57] jesus, there is a option to turn off the pad when typing [01:57] You want commercial Support for Ubuntu, Call Conaical, you cna get all the commercial support your wallet can handle.

How can I make it stop asking? [01:58] alright, sounds good. Thanks for everyones help! This has seriously been the friendliest support channel I've ever been in! [01:58] darthanubis: yes i use ubuntu 99% of the time [01:58] dht123: install adobe reader [01:58] could some one please help me with adding the universe repo and i also wanted to increase to 4 workspaces/ [01:58] chelz I'm in to deep by now. Main reason I don't use windows it cause I can't get a working command line [01:58] Is that for Linux? [01:58] dht123: such is life with a proprietary program, gotta do what it wants [01:58] trineox: because not being aware of simple options in the menu is astonishing [01:58] dht123: no, you would install it with wine [01:58] dht123: they are multi-platform [01:58] dht123: a lot of Tax stuff, if you want to run Windows apps try Wine, or with enough RAM a Windows virtual machine of real Windows [01:58] dht123: but install it under WINE [01:58] kaddi: happened to me too. i can't leave linux these days. [01:58] titan_ark: right-click the switcher applet --> preferences [01:59] darthanubis, I use it daily but I am new so I am trying to learn to do more with it. [01:59] sudo apt-get install acroread [01:59] sigh... [01:59] dht123: I have absolutely no problem with taxact.com [01:59] dht123: looking into something like crossover would probably be a good idea if you really care about what you're doing, you seemed to consider taxes mission-critical [01:59] ekim1: go through the menu and leanr what apps you have and what they do [01:59] Why does every company seem to HATE Linux? [01:59] get familiar with synaptic [01:59] darthanubis: I've used ubuntu forever, and I don't know where most stuff in the menu is. If I wanted to do everything with my mouse, I'd use windows.

[02:00] dht123: not every company, anyway I know what you mean, and the simple answer to your question, since Windows has most of the desktop market share [02:00] devrethman: utter nonsense [02:00] darthanubis, I do that and also sit back on this channel and see what people are using and talking about. [02:00] titan_ark: you don't have a 4x4 grid? [02:00] sudo apt-get install acroread [02:00] can anyone tell me what buttons are EOF on ubuntu? [02:00] is it ctrl-d? [02:00] Darthanubis: You want to get into an argument with me over my own usage preferences? [02:00] That's cure. [02:00] *cute [02:00] Can someone check if TaxAct can import TurboTax 2008 files [02:00] pitlimit: what do you mean? [02:00] dht123: Even if you were using Mac OS X you would get issues with certain things that can be done in Windows [02:00] pitlimit: yep, in a terminal on pretty much all unices that's the key combination [02:00] Odd-rationale, no a 2x2, should it be a 4x4?

[02:01] dht123: a lot of new people say that... [02:01] dht123: depends on what people are doing, and a lot works, or can get working, e.g. Wine or Windows virtual machine [02:01] dht123, I doubt (but don't know for sure) that installing the Linux version of Acrobat is going to resolve your issue -- you will probably end up having to install the Windows version in Wine for TurboTax to be "aware" of it -- i'm just guessing here, but something to keep in mind if the linux version fails. good luck. [02:01] dht123: plenty works with it, but there are lots of proprietary applications that assume windows [02:01] I just recently installed Karmic to try it -- I'm not a Linux guru or anything...

How could someone be doomed to windows? That's a terrible fate. [02:02] ekim1: google has a list [02:02] lol [02:02] meowbuntu: its wget "address" [02:02] IIRC charts are not training courses, maybe that would be of more benefit to you. [02:02] dht123: turbotax will likely only recognize other windows things, since that's what it was setup to deal with. in this case the windows environment is everything within wine [02:02] Hi, I'm trying to install postgresql, and for whatever reason it's not creating the /etc/postgresql config dir... What do I do? I've tried re-install postgresql, I've also tried running dpkg-reconfigure (nothing happens) . [02:02] ekim1: osalt.com can be of help as well.

[02:03] ke1ha_, sudo [02:03] savid: you might find into reading the stuff in /usr/share/doc/postgresql/ [02:04] titan_ark: for the cube, you need to install compizconfig-settings-manager [02:04] darthanubis, kaddi: I get that but there usually are ten programs that do the same thing so i always look for the recommended one or mostly used one to figure on less issues. [02:04] Hmm .. interesting. sudo / root puts it in /etc .. have you ched the big rports ? [02:04] Odd-rationale, yes i did that and selected the cube and reflection etc [02:04] oops checked ...

[02:14] so what do you think ... should i try to upgrade to 9.10 to fix sound [02:14] Trek: stop calling the ops. they are here waiting for them [02:14] brando753: http://blog.worldlabel.com/2009/printing-labels-in-ubuntu.html [02:14] titan_ark: try ctrl+alt+right-mouse and hold and move. [02:14] Yes, I'd try 9.10 .. then dist-upgrade .. a new install went without a problem, no sound issues at all. [02:14] brando753: http://www.linux.com/archive/feed/56209 and http://www.linux.com/archive/feature/119566 [02:15] brando753: all from http://www.google.com/search?q=print+labels+linux+OR+ubuntu [02:15] kk thanks Kelha [02:15] titan_ark: sorry, left-mouse. [02:15] 9.04 to 9.10 didn't work to well for sound. and initially, 9.10 broke it, but the latest 9.10-ISO-32 workes poretty good. [02:15] Odd-rationale, oh yes it works in a kind of circular way now =D but i dont see the small cube kinda thing :P [02:16] everytime I watch a youtube video, the sound stops after a few seconds [02:16] i think i'll go hide in off-topic and the Pennsylvania LoCo Team's channels... [02:17] sje46: are you using the firefox and flash plugin from the repos? and does that happen with any other sites using flash besides youtube? [02:17] hi everyone [02:17] !hi | bksst [02:17] bksst: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [02:17] hi :) [02:17] my first time here [02:17] chelz: firefox and chrome. DOn't know what flash plugin you're talking abot. And grooveshark doesn't work well either [02:18] Odd-rationale, i was also seeing how to install the mac-style dock at the bottom, any ideas? i see that the universal repo needs to be activated. how do i do that? [02:18] titan_ark: you can adjjust the zoom in the ccsm settings [02:18] sje46: in a terminal do: dpkg -l | flash [02:18] although, chelz, with chrome, when I refresh, the music begins again, but that doesn't work with firefox. I assume that has somethign to do with separate processes [02:18] Odd-rationale, okay shall check now [02:18] <`mOOse`> sje46 right click on the youtube video box and then left click on the little envelope icon - make your cache unlimited [02:18] thanks for the info [02:18] titan_ark: there are many dock applications you can use. My personal favorite is gnome-do with the docky theme. [02:18] `mOOse`: my player is set to no cache and YT works fine [02:19] titan_ark: gnome-do should be in the repos [02:19] <`mOOse`> has to do with flash sucking [02:19] Odd-rationale, could you help me set it up? i am not very well versed with linux [02:19] chelz, No command 'flash' found, did you mean: [02:19] Command 'flasm' from package 'flasm' (universe) [02:19] sje46: sorry in a terminal do: dpkg -l | grep flash [02:19] titan_ark: sure. first install gnome-do [02:20] ii adobe-flashplugin 10.0.42.34-2karmic1 Adobe Flash Player plugin version 10 === cristiano is now known as Guest65141 [02:20] guys is there a tool on ubuntu which i can use to print raffle/event tickets? simmilar to glabels not glabels [02:20] Odd-rationale, done [02:20] <`mOOse`> but in the meantime [02:20] <`mOOse`> make your cache as big as possible to give youtube a chance to read ahead [02:20] glabels dosent print tickets [02:20] brando753: i linked you to a bunch of sites [02:20] titan_ark: would you like to pm me? (or let me pm you?) [02:20] anyone know how to hide the join/part in empathy? [02:20] 'm00se' but it isn't working for firefox or chrome [02:21] Odd-rationale, yes please could you PM? [02:21] so it probably isn't the cache [02:21] chelz: those where for printing labels? im trying to print Raffle/Event Tickets [02:22] brando753: probably openoffice using a template: http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/openofficeorg-template-collections [02:22] I have a question. If I install Ubuntu with WUBI, would it be slower thatn if I installed it myself froma livecd? Or would it be the same? [02:22] alabamahit, wubi is slower, more of a demo [02:23] @ chelz "ii adobe-flashplugin 10.0.42.34-2karmic1 Adobe Flash Player plugin version 10" [02:23] alabamahit, The install itself or the resulting system? [02:23] brando753: http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=64135 [02:23] How do i see what the cpu speed are in ubuntu? [02:23] sje46: ah i saw that. thanks. [02:23] Jordan_U, The resulting system. [02:23] ? [02:23] perlsyntax: in terminal type top [02:23] cat /proc/cpuinfo [02:24] does anyone have issues with youtube video not having sound when you play a couple of them [02:24] sje46: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=255422 - follow the instructions in the top post [02:24] bksst: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=255422 - follow the instructions in the top post [02:24] cat /proc/cpuinfo perlsyntax [02:24] bksst, does it crap out in the first few seconds? [02:24] alabamahit, IO will be somewhat slower because it has to write to an ext image file on an ntfs file system. Everything else should the same speed. [02:24] thanks [02:24] sometimes [02:24] bazhang, are there guides in place to installing a real ubuntu installation after trying it in wubi? Or does the user have to figure it out him/herself? [02:24] thanks for the link chelz [02:25] if you just want the speed only, cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep MHZ [02:25] thnks [02:25] semitones: the wubi website has instructions [02:25] semitones, migrating a wubi install to a hdd? is that what you mean [02:25] but, chelz, the same thing happens with chrome... [02:25] sri, that' MHz with small case "z" [02:25] yeah, the fix is only for firefox [02:26] or a -i ke15SAABM2A [02:26] sje46: oss might fix it [02:26] I was told to either delete or install fsound [02:26] Jordan_U, I installed with wubi, it took less than 10 minutes. from website. Was just curious if the OS itself will be slower.? Now that I have it installed. [02:26] Question, where is the device manager? [02:26] bazhang, yes, and does it warn the user that wubi isn't as fast? [02:27] semitones, not sure if it warns, but apparently the developer of wubi himself said it was more of a demo than a real install [02:27] bazhang, IdleOne I want to know if I should recommend wubi to windows refugees [02:27] semitones: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#How%20do%20I%20migrate%20to%20a%20real%20partition,%20and/or%20get%20rid%20of%20Windows%20entirely? [02:27] what's oss [02:27] okay, trying it, chelz [02:27] bazhang, Source? [02:27] If you running anythign from within Windows, even Cygwin .. it's not in a true Linux state and the overhead of the host OS will affect it's performance [02:27] markymark, do you mean ( System ->Administor -> System Monitor ) ? [02:28] semitones: it is a good way for people to try it out [02:28] ke1ha_: wubi only uses the windows partition, it doesn't actually load anything from windows [02:28] best way to see "real" performance is a Native install. [02:28] anythign other will be affected buy the Host. [02:28] wubi, don't run from "Inside" windows lol [02:28] No, not system monitor. I want to see the installed devices. [02:29] ntfs-3g is fuse so it runs in userspace and that isn't good for speed [02:29] If Widows is "running" it has an affect, if it's not running, it wont. [02:29] windows is not running [02:29] alabamahit, ke1ha_: http://wubi-installer.org/faq.php [02:30] then it should be close to true native Linux performance, aside from the File system, unless WUBI partitions it to EXT3 /4 or something other than NTFS [02:30] Sweet :) [02:30] Jordan_U, Thanks :) [02:30] Where is Device Manager in Ubuntu? [02:30] coLinux/andLinux might be more of 'running inside' windows [02:30] alabamahit, np :) [02:31] chelz, etc/firefox/firefoxrc doesn't exist =/ [02:31] markymark: linux does things different than windows [02:31] it's an empty file, I mean [02:31] sje46: yeah you have to make it [02:31] hello [02:31] markymark, what are you looking to do?

[02:31] but I don't see "FIREFOX_DSP=”none” , chelz [02:32] Jordan_U, what is messed up i looked there before coming here lol, didn't find it lol. just looked now and it says clear as day.. "The performance is identical to a standard installation, except for hard-disk access which is slightly slower than an installation to a dedicated partition." [02:32] sje46: are you on intel? [02:32] markymark gnome-system-monitor [02:32] I have a CD Burner installed but system does not recognize it. [02:32] chelz, I have an intel celeron processor [02:32] sje46: see if this applies: http://downlode.org/Creative/Writing/Notebook/2009/11/fixing_sound_issues_with_flash_in_ubuntu_and_kubuntu_karmic_on_an_intel_sound_card.html [02:33] hello! anyone can help with bluetooth? my pc recognize it but i cant make it work [02:33] <_CommandeR_> anyone know how to install quake3 on ubuntu? [02:34] Looks like WUBI is a boot time app, so it should be close depending on the file-system selected on the partition. [02:34] chelz, I don't know if that applies...it doesn't make random popping noises [02:34] chelz, what do I do abotu that empty file? [02:35] sje46, Are you using Ubuntu 9.10? [02:35] sje46: sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-nonfree ; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [02:35] i gotta brb [02:35] !windows [02:35] For discussion on Microsoft software, or help with same, please visit ##windows.

[03:09] is it just me? [03:09] userzy: you have to restore the windows boot loader using a windows disk. [03:09] I have been running ubuntu for about a week now.

[03:10] can anyone help me with a display issue? [03:11] Jordan_U atm, I'm using gnome-screensaver. Do many people prefer xscreensaver over gnome-screensaver? [03:11] jschall, when you put in the windows install cd, you can skip install and go to repair, and a command prompt. Type fix mbr, and in will install windows boot loader [03:12] tp43: i didn't ask about that [03:12] Uhhh.. why do I get "unknown host" when I do "ping localhost" [03:12] well, my screen freezes, and I can't move my mouse [03:12] tp43: also i think its "fixmbr," one word [03:12] I have to shutdown [03:12] tp43: start by testing memory with memtest [03:13] jschall, ok, lets see [03:13] tp43: then run mprime for a while (8-24 hours) with compiz or other compositing off [03:13] my /etc/hosts shows 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain [03:13] nawk, xscreensaver allows you to change the settings of individual screensavers, gnome-screensaver doesn't but integrates much better into Gnome.

[03:24] GarbageCanix [03:24] BluesKaj: run what in the cli? [03:24] slash, I'd go for slackware with xfce, not Ubuntu :D [03:24] im looking at 32bit 9.10 iso , not sure if the netbook version works [03:24] the package name , ramiro [03:24] Gentoo with CLI [03:24] :P [03:24] k0rn: amd64 refers to the 64-bit version of the x86 instruction set. so, yes. [03:25] BluesKaj: I want to check all packages that are currently installed [03:25] Ok Duh that makes sense [03:25] charles__, whats so great about ext4? I still use 3 [03:25] thanks [03:25] charles__, How are you trying to mount it and what happens when you do? [03:25] k0rn: its named that way because amd made the first 64-bit x86 processors. [03:25] i ran ubuntu 9.10 on a netbook and it runs fast with only 64mb ram [03:25] Really, 64 mb? [03:25] what DE? [03:25] slashcheese, all drivers? [03:26] runs beautiful on my dell mini9 [03:26] jschall: Thank you. I run Windows 7 64-bit on this laptop, but i also love ubuntu so its time to dual boot it. [03:26] tp43: i dunno, it just seemed like the thing to do [03:26] so i thought ..... install the ubuntu 9.10 netbook version on the old laptop and ??? [03:26] Nice Iso is done [03:26] anyone try this [03:26] k0rn: try kubuntu too =P === dm_ is now known as dminus [03:27] k0rn: i guarantee if you use kde 4.3 for long enough you'll fall in love [03:27] charles__, I did it too, well, it came by default and so I didn't change it, and then I was having grub boot issues, and I am not sure if they were related, or I did something else wrong, but I changed everything back to ext3 [03:27] Jordan_U, he's trying to mount it from a live cd [03:27] ext4 was written from scratch, where ext3 was basically upgraded ext3. with all the options enabled on ext3, ext4 performance is very close, and it's a mature fs, where as ext4 is not proven is all areas yet. [03:27] slashcheese: it may work but the kernel has Im sure a few customizations for a netbook [03:27] !ot | jschall [03:27] jschall: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [03:28] ke1ha_, ext4 was not written from scratch [03:28] Jordan_U: i go in through the file manager and click the drive like normal. all other drives mount just fine, except this one, which seems to either : A) dissappear from the list without warning or B) give me an error message which, sadly, i failed to write down [03:28] jschall: I go to school for computer programming so a linux environment is ideal. [03:28] ardchoille: you realise that i just used 1 line to recommend kubuntu, and you just upped it to 3 and now made me respond, upping it to 4 lines. [03:28] if you have ext3 already, it's questionable whether you should upgrade, but new installs, probably the best option. [03:28] I like to use gnome, cause it runs the macosx style docks better [03:28] ardchoille: all because you have a stick up your butt. 5 lines. [03:28] mrpink57: thats why Im asking this group. maybe Ill just do a usb live boot and test it out [03:29] But KDE was the reason I switched from debian, cause they still have kde 3. [03:29] I like to use gnome because kde 4 is a freakin mess [03:29] charles__, Do you know how to mount via the terminal? [03:29] The desklets are better in kde though [03:29] voss749: i see gnome as a bit of a mess. [03:29] Let's take the KDE$ conversations to another channelplease [03:30] Gnome is now more like KDE 3 than KDE 4 is [03:30] wow, lots of discussions on desktops here. hahaha. reminds me of 1995 windows chat groups [03:30] *KDE4 [03:30] Jordan_U: I.. should... i've been learning a lot of new stuff and sadly mounting was the first and i may have lost it already... one sec [03:30] voss749, I never noticed anything wrong with it, except the thing I mentioned already, macosx style docks run better on gnome [03:30] hey, so I have a program that needs to be pointed to a sound device like /dev/dsp...but im using pulse audio, what can I point it to? [03:30] slashcheese, I love the eye candy, I have cairo dock [03:30] ardchoille: although i can see how mentioning kde in a gnome channel can kinda snowball. [03:31] I dont mind eye candy but it should not effect performance. [03:31] Jordan_U: lattice is not there. :-( [03:31] I like the compiz interface too. I have it set so I click mouse on the left edge to zoom out all my windows, and right edge window to alt-tab between windows [03:31] oh well [03:31] Im not fond of compiz either [03:31] voss749: eye candy will always effect performance. [03:32] voss749, It doesn't at all. I have dual core, gig or ram, if I don't run it, that computing power will never get used [03:32] would a small private network (no internet connection at all) need a dns server? [03:32] Anyone know how to enable direct rendering with the radeon driver in 8.04? [03:32] i have an old desktop that i just converted to ubuntu today, an old laptop that converted earlier in the week, and two other newer laptops that are currently still windows - i'd like to know the best way to share files, mostly with the old desktop as a storage place - any suggestions? [03:33] I could put my system monitors on, and it will max out just the same if I don't have these eye candy on. But there were two system freezes I experience that I bet are caused by compiz and/or cairo-dock [03:33] mandi, google samba [03:33] panfist: if you want the hosts to have names... [03:33] mandi: ubuntu will automatically configure samba for you and share your files with your windows computers [03:33] joundill & jschall: thx [03:33] In karmic which repo is farsight in? I can't seem to find it. [03:34] mandi: just open nautilus (the gnome file browser) and right click on something you want to share. [03:34] Is cedega really required for gaming anymore or does wine do the trick [03:34] The main reason I use mint not 9.10 vanilla is because I like my task bar on the bottom not the top! [03:34] mandi: go to properties, sharing. just like windows =P [03:34] Hello, I need help, I posted on ubuntu forum, and no response yet. [03:34] voss749: o.O you can just drag it. [03:34] well you need compiz to run cairo-dock, [03:34] jschall, mandi wants to share Ubuntu - Windoze [03:34] who is the commercial backing of Ubuntu? [03:34] voss749, you can move the task bar. [03:34] mandi samba [03:35] Canonical [03:35] jschall, well mint is more stable in general but its the little things I like [03:35] Joundill: i know [03:35] Joundill: that's how it works in ubuntu iirc, i'm on kubuntu though. [03:35] voss749, lol, what is mint anyway? [03:35] a plant [03:35] tp43: an ubuntu-based distro [03:35] tp43, a ubuntu variant [03:35] oh, [03:35] voss749 how do you determine mint is more "stable" ? [03:35] let me check it out [03:35] I run ubuntu 9.10 on my desktop and mint 8 on my laptop [03:35] jschall: ahh :D [03:35] also, can anyone tell me how to resize vista for a dual-boot set up? [03:36] i haven't used mint but i would guess its less stable but has more tweaking into it [03:36] tp43: i think the best way to describe it is what Ubuntu would be when it is full on mainstream [03:36] mandi: the ubuntu disk will do it for you. [03:36] hmm new problem [03:36] mandi use gparted, remeber as always backup any critical data before attempting partitioning [03:36] jschall: i havent used mint so i dont make guesses about it [03:36] Even if it is NTFS5? [03:36] mandi: you install windows and then install ubuntu and the ubuntu installer will give you options to resize partitions [03:36] Windows 7 disk image burner is telling me the image is not valid [03:37] Does anybody know how to turn off these "X has left the room" messages? [03:37] I'm in Pidgin [03:37] Krepta: i would assume so. i haven't tried dual booting with windows (which i don't use) in a long time. [03:37] I'm on the webchat app [03:37] mrpink57_ huh? what do you mean, or are you talking about 'it' [03:37] tp43: Mint [03:37] All of the tools I've used to rezise partitions don't allow resizing of NTFS5 partitions, I don't know if the newest gparted can do it. [03:38] mrpink57, oh, how is mint so mainstream? [03:38] Joundill tools > plugins, jin/leave notifier [03:38] Joundill: do you really want to be left hanging wondering why someone has stopped talking to you? [03:38] thanks [03:38] jschall: sorry? [03:38] I like knowing I'm not being ignored [03:39] JabberWalkie, What program? ( Sorry if you already answered, I was disconnected ) [03:39] tp43: nevermind, I would google Linux Mint. [03:39] jschall: are you just an ass tonight or are you always this stupid? [03:39] Krepta, you may have to get a copy of parted magic to do what you're wanting to do. I thought gparted would, but ...shrugs. [03:39] I'm having trouble getting windows vista to print to a canon pixma mp510 connected and shared from a desktop running ubuntu 9.10. It was working fine two days ago. Now, it sais access denied, cannot connect. [03:39] Joundill: if you can't see people leaving, then i could leave right now and you wouldn't know if i was ignoring you or had left the room [03:39] parted magic WILL do what you want with that ntfs partition though. [03:39] I'm really getting frustrated. [03:39] jschall: lol, fair 'nuff [03:39] I've used partition magic, great tool, still can't resize ntfs5 [03:39] mrpink57, I did, I checked out there web site, I dunno, so many distros, Ubuntu is going good for me [03:40] bastid_raZor: how am i an ass, or stupid? [03:40] wait, huh? [03:40] I've got a rather big question to ask :P [03:40] tp43: im not asking you to change, they just add a lot of additional non-free stuff [03:40] I want to install my Pixelview Prolink TV tuner PCI card [03:40] But when debian does their next release, I will definitely try it and maybe switch back. cause they have acpi all messed up these days, and I can't fix it [03:40] If anyone can help me with the network printing problem I'm having, that would be Really awesome. [03:40] Krepta, Gparted can resize ntfs, you just need ntfsprogs installed. [03:40] <`mOOse`> wait - let me get the life-rescue-inflatable-matress then Joundill [03:40] is synaptic multithreaded? would turning on hyperthreading on a single core processor increase performance? I ask because I have a 3.0GHz p4 with 1GB of RAM, and it hangs for over 30 seconds every time I mark a package to install [03:41] mrpink57, oh really, I like the sound of that, like what though [03:41] jordan_u, excellent, that's what I wanted to know. :) [03:41] Krepta, np :) [03:41] tp43: read their site and google about Mint to see the changes maybe a Ubuntu vs Mint [03:41] Now if only I could make this stupid windblowz vista print. [03:41] <`mOOse`> panfist, welcome to linux [03:41] Krepta: i would look for logs on the linux machine. [03:42] Krepta: upgrade to 7 if u can its great [03:42] panfist: hyperthreading is going to improve since it tells the system you have two cores therefore more can be done. [03:42] Can someone help me out with FahMon [03:42] Linux reports nothing, as if nothing is even reaching it... where do I find the logs? [03:42] Jordan_U: running Quake 1 [03:42] Krepta: /var [03:42] `mOOse`: it doesn't hang for me. in fact, nothing does. ever. [03:42] Does anyone know how to fix a deleted kernel image? [03:42] K0rn, can't, it's mom's laptop [03:42] I like debian cause they are very stable and fast, but I wanna install the best software free, open or proprietary. I respect their software, and will be installing their bsd version as soon as it out and eventually hurd if ever. [03:42] brb, looking up logs [03:42] Krepta: http://oreilly.com/catalog/samba/chapter/book/ch09_01.html [03:43] tp43, mint is ubuntu with all the codecs pre installed among other things and its green...and the bar is on the bottom :) [03:43] mrpink57, I dunno, I can't imagine what else they could offer, I already have everything [03:43] Krepta: i think sharing printers with windows uses samba, right? [03:43] voss749, lol. what codecs [03:43] tp43 dvd playing [03:43] <`mOOse`> jschall, synaptic doesn't lag your machine at ALL? [03:43] voss749, I just apt-get installed mplayer, no problem, and I can play dvd's [03:43] mtpink57_ that's only true for program which are multithreaded, and on a single core hyperthreaded pc, io bound [03:43] * `mOOse` is skeptical [03:43] `mOOse`: i use kde [03:43] hey I have another problem. In LXDE on Lubuntu I started moving some things to my desktop, everything works fine except for firefox, firefox has test there and an area to click on, but no icon. I put it there by dragging it from the lxpanel (where it has an icon) and also tried changing the icon of the shortcut in lxpanel that I drag from, and nothing. No matter what I do no icon, so whats up with that? Any way I can manually force [03:43] an icon on it? Or other reason its not showing up? [03:44] `mOOse`: but i'll install synaptic now [03:44] Krepta, tp43: linux mint is pretty good. I have it installed and it is alittle more refined with less stuff included with the install but there if you need to install it. I guess the say it is a "chopped down" version of Ubuntu. [03:44] Jordan_I: I was generalizing, nothing is "from scratch" ... but compared to ext3 and it's cluge, its a fresh solution. [03:44] tp43, im talking about like libdvdcss [03:44] <`mOOse`> what's kde use - yast? [03:44] JabberWalkie, Try running "padsp quake" ( or whatever the binary is called ). [03:44] the properties box for the shortcut gave me no help, and few options at that [03:44] <`mOOse`> or is that suse? [03:44] jschall, Krepta yeah, sharing printers linux-windoze uses samba [03:44] Jordan_U: k, ill try that [03:44] voss749, hmmm, you can just add non-free to your sources and you are same as mint then [03:44] tried going into my desktop forlder as root and seeing what I can do, nothing new [03:44] so I'm out of ideas [03:45] `mOOse`: yast is for rpm i think [03:45] Krepta, mrpink57_; Krepta sorry wrong guy, meant for mrpink [03:45] `mOOse`: kubuntu seems to use kpackagekit [03:45] `mOOse`: Suse uses yast [03:45] Is there a way to build my own shortcut on the lxde desktop that has an icon and points to firefox? Sort of manually recreate it? [03:45] `mOOse`: i tend to use aptitude or apt-get, though. [03:46] BrainDance: yes there is [03:46] Hi [03:46] tp43, also wifi works out of the box. [03:46] I want to uninstall ubuntu and install windows [03:46] please help [03:46] BrainDance: first open terminal [03:46] Its just minty :) [03:46] Joundill, how do I go about doing that? I assumed it'd be a right click option but for "Create new" all I have are "text document" or "folder" [03:46] anyone here the maintainer of the ChannelManager plugin? [03:46] alright, terminals up [03:46] (supybot) [03:47] `mOOse`: i'll test removing and reinstalling openoffice in synaptic. it's reasonably large. unless there's a better test you have for me? [03:47] Braindance: type in firefox [03:47] voss749, yeah, in debian I had to install wifi separately, but in Ubuntu "it installed out of the box" [03:47] I am trying to get my svideo out working with karmic and a radeon x1400 [03:47] BrainDance: see if that opens it [03:47] alright it opened it [03:47] opened firefox that is [03:47] Ok, that's all good then [03:47] close that [03:47] 1 minute, googling [03:47] well, if they see this, please msg me [03:47] thank you [03:47] Please help in uninstalling Ubuntu [03:47] when i install fglrx i lose my windows manager [03:47] Betas of operating systems are fun, but not at 11 at night :P [03:47] well, see guys, nice chatting with yas, have a good night [03:48] <`mOOse`> jschall, no - that would be good ;-) [03:48] tp43, I just found it funny how ubuntu 9.10 NBR broke the wifi on my dell mini 9 until I manually downloaded a fix [03:48] Does anyone know how to fix a deleted kernel image? [03:48] manpreet, Did you install as a dual boot, or did you install over windows? [03:49] I installed ubuntu over windows 7 [03:49] `mOOse`: so far on the removal, i searched for it and selected it for removal completely smoothly. no lag on synaptic's interface or any other part of the system. [03:49] voss749, oh, it was ok for me. I guess lots of linux people buy ibm laptops so its a bit easier. [03:49] I wanted to switch over to windows XP [03:49] 9.10 was rushed [03:49] manpreet: a kittie just died because you said that [03:49] I'm in /var/log have no idea what to look for. Cups logs, Samba logs, what? [03:50] how do I get a dual-monitor going with an x1400? fglrx isn't working for me [03:50] `mOOse`: finished the removal, reloading the database took about 3-5 seconds [03:50] <`mOOse`> congratulations jschall :-) [03:50] I really hope I won't have to replace ubuntu with a pirated XP, I really want this to work. [03:50] tp43, My compaq laptop had an atheros wifi so it was ok. [03:50] `mOOse`: and now i'm installing it again! seems to be smooth to me. maybe you need to upgrade your hardware. [03:50] voss749, cool [03:51] I just wind up these days sticking atheros chipsets in everything...works for me [03:51] kreator, what's yor problem? [03:51] manpreet, Then since you will have to install windows anyway, just tell it to use the entire drive and it will install over Ubuntu [03:51] voss749, talk to you later if you around, I am gonna watch an indian movie now [03:51] Can someone help me out with F@H [03:51] tp43, which one??? [03:51] manpreet, You may want to back up your documents somewhere of course [03:51] voss749, stiker [03:51] I rebooted my computer and tried to boot from CD it is not using that option [03:52] Yeah Jordan, I have backed up all the documents [03:52] setup BIOS [03:52] tp43: american indian movie or a movie from india? [03:52] hey i installed ubuntu9 on my computer and i forgot everything linux, everything worked right off the bat even whireless but the sound doesnt work [03:52] you mean striker? [03:52] bollywood [03:52] what do i do to fix sound [03:52] voss749, you heard of it. Hey I love that song from de danna dan, and also that song from that bipashu movie about time travel. I am from Canada born in Pakistan [03:52] its an onboard soundcard and i know the sound worked on olderversions of ubuntu and freebsd [03:52] any body,i need help [03:52] mushy1: check that everything is turned up in the sound settings. [03:53] mushy1: to start with. [03:53] I also have sound issues, but that's on the laptop at home, I realy need to figure out why windows vista won't print anymore to ubuntu 9.10 [03:53] karam board movie [03:53] mushy1, this "might" help http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449 [03:53] <`mOOse`> join the elite! [03:53] <`mOOse`> jschall, all donations accepted [03:53] tp43, im like the only american anglo bollywood fan in my town [03:53] voss749, I like lots of foreign movies [03:53] Yay, ubuntu is here! [03:53] anyone have experience with the mobility x1400? I'm trying to use my svideo out. === ubuntu is now known as teffers [03:54] Ah, hello teffers [03:54] Its me and like 50 indian peeps at the local bollywood films [03:54] I have around 450 GB space left, can I use dual boot option as WINDOWS XP [03:54] voss749, what city [03:54] boca raton [03:54] I have install Ubuntu first [03:54] !ot | voss749 tp43 [03:54] voss749 tp43: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [03:54] my bad [03:54] by default what color should the headphones or speakers go into [03:54] c ya laters dudes [03:54] windows hates sharing with other OSes, unless you trick it with boot magic [03:55] green or orange [03:55] c ya later [03:55] mushy1: usually green [03:55] manpreet: in order to do that you have to resize your ubuntu partition first, install windows, then go back with an ubuntu livecd and reinstall grub. [03:55] hey guys i am having some issues with broadcom drivers [03:55] ok for the record disabling hyperthreading increased my performance in synaptic majorly...i would estimate around 90% if not more [03:55] mushy1: although alsa has been known to mix them up. [03:55] anyone have experience with the mobility x1400? I'm trying to use my svideo out. [03:56] anyone delt with them before i heard ther nutoriously buggy [03:56] teffers: Yeah, but I did not win the battle. [03:56] Jshall, that's what I am trying to do, however it is not recognizing the windows CD after reboot. [03:56] so I cannot help you. [03:56] hrmm weird it works [03:56] panfist: disabling or enabling? [03:56] i guess one of the updates fixed it [03:56] disabling [03:56] <3 how easy linux has gotten [03:56] <`mOOse`> you mean you DOWNGRADED your CPU performance and it's working BETTER panfist ? [03:56] <`mOOse`> *remarkable!* [03:56] <`mOOse`> ;-) [03:57] manpreet: are you certain its set to boot from cd first? [03:57] Not all programs that can multithread do it gracefully. [03:57] i got whayt apears to think its an eth card but has all wireless attributes which is super anoying [03:57] I am trying to get my svideo out working with karmic and a radeon x1400 [03:57] well moose you must admit there are situations where multithreaded is useful even on a single core [03:57] Jshall : Yeah, I selected from BIOS [03:57] i find that no multithreading is better most of the time even on a shitty pentium 4 [03:57] <`mOOse`> yes, and I'm being sarcastic pan ;-) [03:57] i know and im just saying that you can't universally deride hyperthreading [03:58] random question probably wrong place but has wine gotten dx9 and older games nearly perfect? [03:58] ioquake3 giving error that "Point Release files are missing. Please re-install the 1.32 point release" but Points is installed & working but no sound (expected longstanding issue) [03:58] mushy1: wrong place. go to #winehq [03:58] mushy1: it works ok for a lot of games. [03:58] hello [03:59] mushy1: for example, eve online is dx9 and it works fine. i wouldn't try it, it is unbelievably boring. [03:59] hi, a program crash in x mode, then i get into console mode to get the logon x mode, is this posible??? [03:59] hi how can i check what processes are running on my cumputer from terminal [03:59] well i bought a lot of cheap games from half priced books [03:59] mushy1: it has DX9 down pretty well, but there's more to games than DX [03:59] meowbuntu, "ps aux" [03:59] meowbuntu, top [03:59] i got morrowind which used to look perfect besides the water [03:59] how can I add a starting option for default web-browser? [04:00] Jschall : I tried to went to the grub tried to use fdisk command, however it is not accepting that [04:00] im trying to play one now called hammer and sickle [04:00] hapik: right click on the icon and hit properties [04:00] which installs i just stopped because sound didnt work [04:00] but now it seems to [04:00] QUESTION RELATED: say sound works great, but doesnt work for some reason under wine [04:00] mushy1: #winehq would know much better than we would. [04:00] is that a wine problem [04:00] manpreet: the grub recovery console is not linux. [04:00] is winehq on his server [04:01] is this the ubuntu server [04:01] mushy1: it might be a wine problem, but the wine channel would be able to tell you if it is or not [04:01] is there another chat server that might know the answer to my video card question [04:01] devrethman: it will work only with browser started with icon, not with browser being called from different applications [04:01] mushy1: this is a freenode server, so yeah, wine is here. [04:01] hapik: Oh... I don't know then. [04:02] is ub 9.04 or 9.4 or whatever this version a beta or is it full [04:02] how i can kill processes fron console mode????

[04:24] charles__, the owner doesn't matter so much as "chmod ugo+rw FILE" sorta thing... [04:24] charles__: no such owner exists. [04:24] charles__, do you have to use CLI? you can also do the same thing in nautillus with a gui [04:24] charles__, errm, you wouldn't use the chown command to accomplish that - you'd use the chmod command [04:25] I have a problem.. I woke up today and tried logging into my forum and I cant get into anything [04:25] http://dravekx.dyndns.org/forum [04:25] nothing is working. I tried changing ownership and permissions, but nothing is working... it's like I dont have permission to do anything. [04:26] :( [04:26] well, here's the thing... i was here a bit earlier asking about a problem i was having accessing a drive. i went in to check a few things and realized that when i had formatted the drive, i selected "take ownership of drive", so while i can access the drive just fine form this install, it is unaccessable from a liveCD, which makes me worry that if i reformat and reinstall ubuntu, i'll lose access to the drive in question. [04:27] instead of losing all of the drive's contents, i'd like some what to just... set the drive free, as it were [04:27] is anybody here familiar with the bttv driver? [04:27] it's not like there are other folks using this computer, so it being tagged to anyone in particular is needless [04:27] My card should be supported by the radeon driver and I can't get direct rendering to work. Any pointers? [04:28] I have a problem.. I woke up today and tried logging into my forum and I cant get into anything.. http://www.dravekx.com [04:28] FK... [04:29] charles__, I think you just have to mount it as read/write in the live cd, but I could be wrong [04:29] Joundill: is that for a tuner card? [04:29] royceremer: that's the one :D [04:29] Joundill: what kind of card are you using, and what version ubuntu? [04:30] Dravekx, it is phpbb you're using right? you might want to ask in #phpbb if it is. good luck man. [04:30] royceremer: I'm trying to get a bt878p+ (rev 4c) card going on 9.04 Jaunty [04:30] ZykoticK9, its not phpbb.. its the server. i cant get into phpmyadmin or anything [04:30] if it was phpbb related, i would be there, but its not. [04:30] its ubuntu [04:30] I am having problems getting my trackpad recognized on my Acer Aspire One 532h netbook. It works, but I can't adjust any properties (i.e. tap-to-click). I think it isn't recognizing it as a touchpad. The TouchPad Control Preference says that SHMConfig isn't enabled, but setting the fdi file doesn't appear to work. [04:31] I think. [04:31] Dravekx, ? i have no idea man ? sorry - best of luck [04:31] semitones: so setting ownership of a drive means nothing then? [04:31] I think its a permissions issue [04:31] My card should be supported by the radeon driver and I can't get direct rendering to work. Any pointers? [04:31] I cant even get into phpmyadmin === zz_b0w is now known as b0w [04:32] its like, all the submit buttons stopped working on the server.

[04:32] even if I install a new program, the submit buttons do not work in ubuntu, but they work on my laptop [04:32] royceremer: yeah, I've seen that, card 70, right? [04:33] charles__, I'll tell you now that I"m not that experienced in linux, but I think you can override ownership temporarily, without having to change it. [04:33] Joundill: you might find this useful: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/other-formats/html_single/BTTV.html [04:33] /server irc.plasa.com [04:34] does anyone know about socket? [04:34] Joundill: some very detailed instructions, especially for Linux (although there's no simple package download it seems) [04:34] semitones: hmmm, well, thanks for your help. it looks like i'm going to have to reformat or something... or maybe read up more on chown, see if i can find an "anyone" tag. [04:34] Joundill: assuming it's plugged in already, I'd just skip to this, run it step by step: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/other-formats/html_single/BTTV.html#HW [04:35] royceremer: It's apparently part of the kernel now [04:35] Joundill: drivers for this card? under what? do you have a link where you read that?

I just downloaded Ubuntu from the so-called web site. There is a splash screen that seems to imply that there is a clause and price associated with it. What is the story with that? [04:51] Hello all, what is the command for launching the mysql configuration wizard? [04:51] toastedmilk, the rule of thumb with graphics cards, is the closed source driver always gives you more hardware acceleration, unless it's broken [04:51] I recently bought a toshiba a505 s-6005. it has a core i3 processor, and integrated intel graphics media accelerator 4500hd, 4gb ddr3 ram. When I try to install ubuntu from live cd it shows me a black screen, like it was running but not showing video [04:52] toastedmilk, I'm 90% sure the open source one doesn't give you direct rendering [04:52] obscurant1st, i'm affraid my googling didn't bring up hardly anything about your model??? I certainly see other people with "Philips Go Gear"s working, but different model numbers.

This doesn't work '127.0.1.1:3000 domain' [04:57] Hello; I'm having trouble networking my Dell Dimension 8250; I'm fairly sure it's that I don't have the correct driver, but I'm not really sure. last year I was using this machine with Ubuntu, and all networking worked great. Then I had to reinstall Ubuntu over the entire thing to prepare it to give to a scouting group. When I reinstalled, it seems like the ethernet was not found. The ethernet interface was not detected no matter what I [04:57] tried. I also tried using a D-link wireless N (DWA-160) usb stick (which had also worked before) and it was able to detect my network name, but never able to connect. I tried everything I could find online and in the forums to no avail. I tried a live CD of Knoppix (just to see if it could detect the hardware) and that showed the same results. I then found the Debian device driver check & report for Dell/Dimension 8250, and it motivated [04:57] just try installing Debian, largly in the hopes that it would contain the correct driver(s) to make it work, but upon installation the Ethernet card was not detected. When I selected e100, the correct one according to the report, it stutters and goes back asking for another driver. After install, I proceeded to try a bunch of other stuff, none of which worked. I like Ubuntu better, so now I'm back to 9.10. Can anyone offer any ideas on [04:57] get this thing connected to the outside world? Thanks in advance.

[04:59] ext2 is basically ext3 without a journal, few other minor things. question is how did you end up with one? :) [04:59] im trying to format a new drive i added to my system and ubuntu recommenda ext2 .. is this in any way faster or more efficient than a fat 32? [04:59] vegombreiL http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext3 [04:59] So then what is a journal exactly? [05:00] vegombrei, You mean hard disk or a flash memory drive? [05:00] nvm googleing [05:00] Currently Ubuntu recommends ext4, right? [05:00] i-A son it might be that you need to get rid of the Windows MBR. Start anew and see if it will work. [05:00] LavaEagle, Journaling helps the system make sure the filesystem is consistent [05:01] What is Journaling: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journaling_file_system [05:01] ext2 fsck might take hours after an unplanned shutdown (power loss, etc.) [05:01] xfact, It recommends Ext4, I still use XFS === pinoyskullv2 is now known as pinoyskull [05:01] @k1ha ty for both [05:01] daemonFC: ohh [05:01] Ext4 is having some data loss issues that have been fixed in XFS for years [05:02] nobody wants to admit that, but it's true [05:02] Curly_Q: how do you recommend I do this? [05:02] i-A son, try before installing the software this: fdisk/mbr in the DOS mode if you are using Windows as a starter. [05:02] my full system is ubuntu I think... [05:02] DaemonFC: hard drive ... i have 3 x 1 TB hdds ... i installed ubuntu on hdd0 with ext3 . then when i added the other drives ubuntu recommmended i format them to ext2 ... i however think if i make it fat32 in case of system failure i can still remove the drive plug it into any other machine to retreive my data ... however i wanna know if i can do the same with ext2 .. also do you recommend it DaemonFC? [05:02] XFS also doesn't reserve 10% of the volume like Ext2/3/4 do, because XFS has a defragmentation utility for if you ever do fill it up to the point it is fragged [05:02] is that a terminal thing too? [05:03] It doesn't matter what you are using, it matters what you did. [05:03] you use Ext* file systems, you lose 10% of your volume, you can override that but then you face massive fragmentation you can [05:03] *can't fix [05:03] hi [05:04] How can I prevent Ubuntu's update manager from popping up? I only want to update packages when I explicitly tell Ubuntu. [05:04] Go back to square ONE and recover your tracks. [05:04] How do I remove older kernels from grub? and is it safe?

[05:04] but, Ext FS is better for handling lots of files, where XFS is far better a large file storage. [05:04] semitones: how do I do that? [05:04] smartmon says its clean, and I am running the long test now [05:04] vegombrei, FAT32 shouldn't be used if you can possibly avoid it [05:05] major limitations in FAT32 make it suitable only for devices that only understand FAT32 [05:05] smartmon says its clean, and I am running the long test now... anyone else see this after the last round of upgrades [05:05] it's also a Microsoft thing, patents, fun stuff [05:05] LtHummus, look under "sessions" I think, in preferences. I'm not in Gnome right now, so I'm not sure [05:05] semitones: i'll check it out, thanks === s|k|test is now known as yay [05:05] I just got a new ipod touch. I followed what I thought were the corret tutorials, and installed ifuse and gtkpod. The touch doesn't have the correct dir structure, and gtkpod says it can't create it. Furthermore, though I've mounted it at /media/ipod with ifuse, it has no dir structure at all (not even . and ..) === yay is now known as yaya [05:05] if your storing ten's of thousands of files and types, Ext is probably a better bet, if your storage is for say ISO's or DVD's large volume files, XFS is the right choice. [05:05] LtHummus, no problem :) [05:05] DaemonFC: its a new drive with no data on it yet ... im asking you to recommend a partition type that is optimal for my system .. [05:06] Always remember this: "Never install any operating system without resetting the MBR <--- Master Boot Record first. That is so very important. [05:06] vegombrei, XFS is what I use on drives that size [05:06] semitones: just putting the final touches on my Ubuntu powered HTPC :) [05:06] how do I do this? [05:06] make sure you get the xfsdump package so you have the maintenance utilities [05:06] DaemonFC: so be it then ... brb .. need to tell gparted to make that drive xfs [05:06] LtHummus, ah, I see, that sounds fun :) [05:07] Boot = EXT2, /root and home dir's ext3/4 or riserrfs, or if your storing bog files XFS [05:07] XFS is hellaciously fast and has better management tools than e2fsprogs (ext filesystem tools package) [05:07] opps big files XFS [05:07] semitones: yeah it was...took the weekend but I basically have everything worked out except for one or two issues (this being one of them)....gotta love the Ubuntu community [05:07] How do I remove older kernels from grub? and is it safe? [05:08] if you start throwing around files over 1GB around, XFS murders even Ext4 [05:08] emghazal, use apt or synaptic [05:08] Hey guys, another tech tip, your BIOS may not support the new Terrabyte drives SATA or IDE. [05:08] :D I'm glad! [05:08] DaemonFC: gparted doesnt give me an option to partition it in xfs [05:08] @daemon what os do you use that has XFS or did you tell Ubuntu to install with it? [05:08] vegombrei, It should..... hmmmm [05:08] Curly_Q: how do you suggest I reset the MBR? [05:09] Use the Package Manager, but make sure you know what Kernel your using now, and it's always a good thing to keep a known working older kernel. [05:09] LavaEagle, Mandriva has supported XFS very well for years, even as /boot, Ubuntu was using the old buggy crappy GRUB until 9.04 [05:09] i-A Son, start anew. Go into the CMOS setup and start from scratch and do what you did to get the desired results you had before you had problems. [05:09] GRUB 2 now understands XFS where original GRUB didn't [05:10] Hi - Can someone tell me the main difference between Opebox and Xubuntu ? [05:10] So your talking about karmic? [05:10] Having HD issues... getting the following error messages: ata1: hard resetting link, sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Unhandled error code, and lost page write due to I/O error on sda1 however when it does it sets /dev/sdb to read only smartmon says its clean, and I am running the long test now... anyone else see this after the last round of upgrades [05:10] *Openbox [05:10] LasBuntu, Jaunty was the first release that supported XFS on /boot, so if you want, all you need is a SWAP partition and one XFS partition mounted on / [05:10] and Ubuntu will work like that :) [05:10] snayth: Xubuntu uses xfce. xfce and openbox are different window managers... [05:11] Oh cool! [05:11] isn't XFS also better suited to 64-Bit OS ? [05:11] I've edited my fstab to speed XFS up even more, I would not suggest hand-editing fstab unless you know what you are doing [05:11] You see, that most people come here in this forum and complain but don't realize that they may be using a computer that has an outdated BIOS or older BIOS. That is why so many questions are asked here. [05:12] ke1ha_, XFS will work on 32-bit or 64-bit OS's, the only difference is that your max partition size is 8 Exabytes on a 32-bit Linux, and 16 Exabytes on 64-bit Linux [05:12] YAR! [05:12] inode64 mount option also makes it unusable on a 32-bit OS forever [05:12] so don't use that! [05:13] Ext4 max partition is "only" 1 Exabyte *grin* [05:13] I've just not used it allot. We used XFS on some of out work clusters, but not anything at home. [05:13] hello [05:13] hello [05:14] i am trying to restore grub on my laptop after a windows installationg. all the guides i've seen say to do 'find /boot/grub/stage1' as the first step, but i get "file not found" [05:14] ke1ha_, You probably used CXFS, a version of XFS tailored to clusering [05:14] XFS is still heavily worked on all around and will be for years [05:14] anyone using ESX server in here? [05:14] so I don't think support for it will die this decade [05:14] ok, I'm not really sure what to do... sorry. can I update it somehow? [05:14] Ke1ha are you working with SCISI drives? [05:15] I may out one on a VM install, just to see if there's any real improvement. Clearly though, if your not accessing the file system on a high frequency, we probably won't "notice" a massive improvement. [05:15] snayth, Lubuntu uses openbox. It's more lightweight than xfce or gnome [05:15] ke1ha_, Another nice thing about XFS is the minimal CPU use === jon is now known as Guest5823 [05:15] Morning. I am trying to get GPRS connectivity via bluetooth so that my laptop can go online using my mobile phone. I have followed the tutorial at http://www.spiration.co.uk/post/1307/Ubuntu%20Linux%20-%20Bluetooth%20and%20GPRS%20dialup%20connection and the one at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothDialup and when I try to connect using "pon eitherdialupconffilename" I get an error that there is no /dev/rfcomm0". I checked [05:16] in /dev and there is no device with that name. Has the device name changed from earlier versions of Ubuntu to 9.04? [05:16] Can you store vm's on a XFS? [05:16] Ascavasaion: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:16] so it's not any one thing where XFS has a huge advantage over Ext4, it's a lot of little things that come together [05:16] acclaimtech, virtual Machine images? Yeah [05:16] why not ? :) [05:16] not images [05:16] running vms [05:16] At work, the arrays are all RAW write data sub-systems, then for the OS, and program storage, yes, it's SCSI, but 95% of all the nodes are PXE's so only data is stored on drives, not apps. [05:17] What about btrfs? I think I read it was better than ext4, but not ready yet. Will it be better than XFS? [05:17] hehehe [05:17] * Ascavasaion kicks FloodBot1 in the nads. [05:17] haven't tried that, acclaimtech [05:17] Interesting. [05:17] werid [05:17] weird* [05:18] emghazal, Yeah, Btrfs has more features planned, I've kicked it around once though and it was pretty slow, but that's just after it got merged in Linux 2.6.29 [05:18] the best thing about it is that it will convert existing Ext3/4 partitions to Btrfs eventually [05:18] Ext4 is really just kind of a placeholder [05:19] I had the worst problem with INODE crashes years ago. it was all SCSI related and the source of the problem was a mismatched CPU Dual SCSI motherboard setup. [05:19] How long should it take to copy 100Gb from one sata drive to another? [05:19] whats the current scoop with BTRFS? Is it soon coming? [05:19] It really comes down to what your using the box for. If you need fast read / writes, then you want the fastest FS you can get, but if your I/O limited to begin with, the FS probably wont have that large of impact. [05:19] I am amazed that I am the only person in here who has ever wanted to connect to the Internet on his laptop using his mobile phone and bluetooth connectivity. [05:19] hi everyone [05:19] i am trying to restore grub on my laptop after a windows installation. all the guides i've seen say to do 'find /boot/grub/stage1' as the first step, but i get "file not found" [05:19] Kelha what is the fastest FS? [05:19] Roasted: Not in quite some time afaik. [05:20] It was a problematic DUAL CPU Motherboard. [05:20] j5098 one option is download super grub disk iso ... its only small that will get you in the once in reinstall grub.... itll be easier [05:20] !attitude | Ascavasaion [05:20] Ascavasaion: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [05:20] Well, I dont know what the "fastest" one is, but XFS is certainly faster than EXT's. [05:20] any news about core i3? [05:21] iflema: thanks [05:21] Does anyone know if the Netgear wg311v3 wireless card have known support in 9.10? [05:21] ahmed_: check i3 support channel [05:21] It doesn't matter how fast something is, it is how RELI [05:21] has * [05:21] Able it is. [05:21] not true Curly_Q [05:21] Really? [05:21] <_Paint_> anyone know enough to offer some help with multi-booting? [05:21] otherwise everyone would raid6 everything [05:21] Curly_Q, That's why a lot of people still use Ext3 [05:22] JFS and riserfs are really fast as well. All of them are good, aand all have pro's & con's. [05:22] or raid50 [05:22] !ask | _pedda_ [05:22] _pedda_: 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).

Not only that, what is most important is dependability. [05:23] Ext 3/4 and XFS are the only file system that should be considered out of what Ubuntu offers [05:23] my esxi box is super slow [05:23] Yeah, he did not do well on the lawsuit :-) [05:23] it's taking over 5 hours to copy 100Gb [05:23] ke1ha he murdured his wife [05:23] snayth, are you still here?

[05:24] * om26er doubts if he is in the wrong channel [05:24] <_Paint_> alrighty so lets make this a little more precise...i already had xp and ubuntu 8.10 dual booting fine so i made a partition and installed windows 7 on it and now GRUB isnt loading on boot...suggestions [05:24] yep...Throw Windows7 out the window [05:24] ;) [05:24] <_Paint_> lol alternative suggestions :P [05:24] Windows 7 is a toilette. [05:24] Tm_T its more on topic than win 7 topics you clown [05:24] Ok we're way off topic :-) .. If all ya want is a standard highly support FS, Ext3 / 4, If ya want to try the speedy stuff, XFS. [05:25] <`mOOse`> with LVM ;-) [05:25] Windows 7 will eat your GRUB, just like Vista before it, and XP before it, and Windows 2000, Me, 98........ [05:25] !fixgrub [05:25] grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

[05:25] * om26er tries btrfs [05:25] * semitones thought XFS was optimized for large files [05:25] you'll have to reinstall GRUb [05:25] _Paint_: see what ubottu said [05:25] yeah, boot off the Ubuntu CD and run a grub-install [05:25] :D [05:25] Curly_Q: what do you suggest I do with my BIOS? I've never needed to change anything before. [05:26] there's guides to that I think [05:26] or get a 2nd boot manager before grub and windows7 [05:26] yes, you can also chainload GRUB off the Windows bootloader [05:26] that's really messy though Deamon [05:26] that way Windows is satisfied that its bootloader is there [05:27] <_Paint_> okay so umm...bring that down to simple english for the ubuntu noob :)... [05:27] * acclaimtech hugs Ubuntu [05:27] i-A Son, I am not sure what you need to know.

[05:29] come on man... I was just curious we're not flooding the channel [05:29] TM T we are on topic. The class here is asking how to install operating systems and how to work with BIOS setups. [05:30] wow, that came out all wrong. If you dont need to upg BIOS, dont, if you need something n a later version, upg it. [05:30] ahmed_, It's impossible to help you without more information about what exact problem you are running into. [05:30] acclaimtech: the channel has rules. please follow them. [05:30] ke1ha_, Don't touch the BIOS unless you're certain it's the problem and you know the update fixes it. Could end up having to take it into a PC repair shop and paying them to reflash it for you because it won't boot up. :D [05:30] Curly_Q: "what do you teach" is not an Ubunt support question. [05:30] so whats the latest greatest torrent program for linux === xnt14 is now known as xnt14[sleep] [05:30] mushy1, try deluge or transmission [05:31] musca, deluge [05:31] which ones easiest and gui [05:31] I use Deluge [05:31] it got gui? [05:31] rr. that's what I was trying to say the first time around, it just came out all jumbled .. lol [05:31] yes and a webgui [05:31] liberals!!!! arrrggh [05:31] mushy1: Transmission is installed by default. start there. [05:31] transmission is a pretty simple easy to use gui torrenting program [05:31] oh already installed perfect [05:31] mushy1, deluge is better for speed. transmission's speed fluctuates all the time. [05:31] The fact of the matter is that unless anyone knows and understands how BIOS works and how the computer talks with the OS , then, all of these questions would be moot. [05:32] well, I've gotten speeds of around 1.5mb/s consistently with Transmission [05:32] so it doesn't seem that bad to me [05:32] mB* [05:32] on ubuntu can i tell if i got a cd rom or a cd burner [05:32] Mb [05:32] i just bought Gateway laptop with core i3 processor and it is running windows 7 when i tried to install Ubuntu on it the screen goes balck but i can hear the iso image installing but i can not see anything. please help [05:32] any easy way [05:32] the only thing that really miffs me is that the ATI Catalyst/FGLRX is not updated regularly. FGLRX is slow buggy crap, but if they fix some bugs, why are those not in the repo? [05:32] the dirve doesnt days [05:32] ahmed: you should probably try a text install instead of graphic [05:32] annecoulter: are you really going to troll politics here? [05:33] darthanubis: please don't feed the troll. [05:33] Ahmed: try using the alternate install cd instead [05:33] no, i'm just testing webchat.freenode.net [05:33] System: Host johntop Kernel 2.6.31-14-generic x86_64 (64 bit) Distro Linux Mint 8 Helena - x64 Edition [05:33] mneptok: I think I got this thanks [05:33] i am new to linux world and i want to use gnome [05:33] annecoulter, it also support /part [05:33] mibbit wont let me on freenode so... [05:33] Anyways, it was nice meeting you folks here. I must teach another class now. Take care folks. [05:33] * acclaimtech feeds the troll darthanubis [05:34] Ahmed: gnome is the default gui for ubuntu. [05:34] <`mOOse`> you like deluge better than others acclaimtech [05:34] ahmed_: not enough information to help you [05:34] yes M00se it's also accepted at every private torrent site as well [05:34] (my opinion) the only thing worse than Deluge on *nix is Deluge on Windows B-) [05:35] deluge works [05:35] darthanubis: please let channel ops deal with trolls, and do not incite them. [05:35] <`mOOse`> I've used ktorrent transmission qtorrent....I don't like any of them [05:35] try downloading a large file collection with transmission [05:35] i upgraded my motherboard and now I have really terrible performance. i think it's related to my graphics drivers but I'm not sure. can anyone help me troubleshoot? [05:35] because i am new to linux i only can work with Gui i am still learning Unix commands [05:35] you'll never get it [05:35] deluge got it [05:35] and that will take a long time [05:35] anyone know if i download xp on a linux hd if i can install from there [05:35] or if i have to burn [05:36] it seems to big for a cdrw [05:36] ahmed_: don't experiment on your new box [05:36] mushy1: you have to burn it [05:36] Why are we talking about burning XP on a CD-R? That doesn't sound......kosher? [05:36] mushy1: rephrase [05:36] darthanubis . what do you mean? [05:36] hi ^^ [05:36] mneptok: please stop addressing me [05:37] * acclaimtech becomes a troll [05:37] YAR! [05:37] mushy1: the iso for a windows xp install should be around 650mbs, anything larger is extra stuff added to it [05:37] ahmed_ a virtual machine is a good place to experiment [05:37] yes try a VM ahmed [05:37] heh [05:38] darthanubis: please join #ubuntu-ops [05:38] VMPlayer3 and any 9.10 is a good playground, if ya break it, it's real easy and fast to restore / rebuild it. and it's all free. [05:38] koshari i am running Ubuntu right now on my desktop but i want to run it on my laptop too [05:38] snayth, hey, are you here? [05:38] mushy1, You can try installing via the alternate install CD, though you will likely still get a black screen on first boot after installing [05:38] semitones: Yup [05:38] and i am using Vbox too [05:38] Ahmed_ try installing using the alternate install cd [05:39] ahmed_ by all means go for it, [05:39] <`mOOse`> well I like uTorrent in windows so every torrent pgm I find in linux I subliminally compare to it....I've yet to find anything close so I'm shopping [05:39] irc://irc.irchighway.net/aerandria. [05:39] oh sorry [05:39] i don't know how to use this [05:39] <`mOOse`> I'll give it a shot [05:39] snayth, alright, to answer your question, lubuntu uses LXDE, instead of GNOME, which has been designed to be low-requirement and work on lower hardware [05:39] semitones: So are you running the Lubuntu? Could I run it with 256MB's ram & about 5GB'd HDrive space ? My friend keeps getting spyware. [05:39] oi.... transmission... its great.... you get treated like a king even if you dont put out... if ya follow me. would ya like a calander with that? [05:40] snayth, I'm running Lubuntu right now on 376 mb ram, and 5GB is enough to install it [05:40] er, 384 mb ram [05:40] i burned ubuntu 32-bit and 64-bit iso image on dc but when i tried to install them on my 64-bit Gateway core i3, they did not work. [05:40] semitones: Does it have a fairly easy to use and understand desktop ? [05:41] by the way Opensolaris is working but Ubuntu i have a problem with the video graphic [05:41] ahmed_, You can try installing via the alternate install CD, though you will likely still get a black screen on first boot after installing [05:41] snayth, it's pretty easy -- I would say that regular Ubuntu is slightly easier, but Lubuntu is pretty easy too. [05:42] snayth, nothing out of the ordinary [05:42] what is alternate cd? please [05:42] semitones: Sweet - Sounds like the ticket! I'll go check it out - Thanks so much - you're a life saver..... [05:42] !alt | ahmed_ [05:42] !alternate | ahmed_ [05:42] ahmed_: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD.

Look for the link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal [05:42] is there a way to restore my BIOS to factory defaults? [05:43] ok i will try to find it thank you for your help [05:43] j-A_son theres usually a setting to load failsafe defaults which is pretty much factory [05:43] Anyone here using Mandriva Linux Free? [05:43] snayth, no problem :) Lubuntu is also fairly new, and is just being added to the Ubuntu roster, so expect lots of improvements to be made to it too [05:43] j-A_son: Most BIOS should have that option already.. in their BIOS.

I tried right clicking on it and burning it, however when I was trying to install windows 7 from the burnt dvd, it says not all install files are there [05:56] Duskin, and with brasero i just can burn an image file [05:56] kismet: brasero is the default application yes? [05:56] dj, are you sure your iso is good? [05:56] i'm + my iso is good [05:56] mneptok: I think Intel [05:57] hmmm [05:57] "Intel Corporation" [05:57] dj__, You can use brasero and enable the option to verify that the CD burned properly, beyond that this is really a question for ##windows [05:57] j-A_son: i doubt it's Intel. 99% of Intel wired network stuff "just works" in Linux. [05:57] dj: you burning an iso from where? [05:57] dj__, i don't know which one is the default application... I just used to use both [05:57] ftr I reallly hate windows, however I do like having my music on my subs :P [05:57] dj, generate an md5 chksum and paste it here and tell me the version you're using [05:57] lava i'm burning a iso from my external hardrive [05:57] Kismet: I don't know how to fix the programs, you'll have to ask someone else [05:58] dj: source? [05:58] I can compare that to my copies (MS gold partnership rocks) and see what's up [05:58] Ethernet controller: Intel Coporation 82557/8/9/0/1 Ethernet Pro 100 (rev 10) [05:58] Duskin, thank you for your time.... [05:58] dj__: discussions of software piracy are not welcome here. [05:58] Duskin, kind of you [05:58] software piracy lol... [05:58] j-A_son: do you have the Live CD/DVD around? [05:58] yes [05:58] you know I very well could of ripped the iso from a disc I purchased. I do have a little niece that likes to destroy my cd's and dvds [05:58] hey folks; i have a 16GB microsd flash card in my phone that doesnt appear as a drive on ubuntu jaunty (usually it did) ; i cant even see it with gparted. the partition is damaged so i need to reformat. ideas? [05:59] j-A_son: boot off that and see if the Ethernet interface works. if it does, something you configured on the installed system is causing the issue. [05:59] arooni, try sudo fdisk -l [06:00] mneptok: it's a fresh install- it didn't work off the live CD before either. Should I try again? Thanks for your time. [06:00] anything better than brasero? [06:00] dj__ the desktop menus.... Applications / Sound and Video / Brasero Disc Burner will burn an iso image. [06:00] Hey anyone an idea why i can't burn images or anything else to a dvd anymore [06:01] kismet: I'd check your disc burner itself. Sometiems they will crap out on you [06:01] Kismet, Could be that the drive is dying [06:01] j-A_son: desktop or laptop? [06:01] desktop [06:01] sometimes they still recognize CDs for a while [06:01] iflema: I know how to use brasero, it's just not burning the data I need burnt correctly. I know my .iso is good to go [06:01] j-A_son: examine the BIOS carefully. ensure the network interface is active. [06:01] mneptok: Dell Dimension 8250, desktop [06:02] DaemonFC, It works with a live cd [06:02] is you run cdrecord -scabus id the drive identified ? [06:02] dj__, it works with a live cd [06:02] mneptok: it's on the factory default settings- I'm not really sure what I can do [06:02] yeah, but it's not recognizing DVD-Rs, right? [06:02] opps cdrecord -scanbus [06:02] oh well...I guess i'll figure it out :) [06:02] thanks for the idea's though [06:03] it worked beofre with the same settings- but when I removed and reinstalled ubuntu it stopped working [06:03] dj__ " Anyone know how to properly burn an iso file?" and the burner? [06:03] dj__, I seriously doubt that changing software will help anything. Have you tried looking at the md5sum of the CD vs that of the iso? [06:03] DaemonFC, the live -cd is a live dvd [06:03] i'm going to look at that now [06:03] semitones, Hey you still here ? Does the Lubuntu run restricted - like flash, etc ? [06:03] snayth, yup. In most ways, it's like a lightweight skin on ubuntu [06:04] snayth, Just a guess, but I would assume Lubuntu is using gstreamer and Firefox and all that [06:04] It makes no sense at all to use Xine :) [06:04] mneptok: it worked before with the same settings- but when I removed and reinstalled ubuntu it stopped working [06:04] DaemonFC, Sweet - Not a purist yet - but working my way there [06:05] /leave [06:05] j-A_son: which release? Live or installed? [06:05] exit [06:05] !foo [06:05] bar [06:05] !bar [06:05] baz [06:05] !baz [06:05] lol [06:05] whats a good way to transfer music over to my blackberry (or any mass storage device) that doesnt involve drag and drop? (ideally like an itunes for ubunut) [06:06] iTunes runs on Ubuntu [06:06] snayth, The problem with bloat is not best solved by cutting everything out, GNOME is bloated because a users needs are big, not because it's harboring a lot of useless crap. (To borrow upon a Jamie Zawinsky quote) [06:06] arooni_ rsync .. i use it to sync all my media folders. [06:06] juan_, Poor Ubuntu [06:06] hehe [06:06] juan_: is that a question? [06:06] mneptok: it worked with 8.10, but then I reinstalled ubuntu 9.10 from disk to overwrite everything. I was going to give the computer to my scout troop, but I ended up keeping it for some home networking usage; now it's just not connecting to anything. [06:06] hello:) [06:06] 70 packages can be updated. 37 updates are security updates. , should I update? [06:06] semitones, That's good to here - When you try to explain about codecs and proprietary to a regular windows user - there eyes kinda glass over and they just don't see your point. [06:07] sudo apt-get install playonlinux [06:07] arooni: I have looked for something similar for my 3200 bb but the best way I could keep complete control of my phone was drag and drop or possibly acdsee [06:07] Dravekx, Yes [06:07] snayth, "codec packs! Sweeeeet!" [06:07] can anybody give a linux newb some advice? [06:07] *grin* [06:07] j-A_son: if you are donating it, try 8.04 on it. it's an LTS release. 9.10 is not. [06:07] !ask | dbluefield [06:07] dbluefield: 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. :-) [06:07] <_Trullo> heh, I run sudo apt-get update / upgrade atleast twice / day :) [06:07] thanx Jordan [06:07] dbluefield, like what? [06:07] dbluefield, np [06:08] Dravekx: update [06:08] juan_, I am [06:08] snayth, haha, it depends how you explain it, but yeah I know what you mean. They don't know why they should care [06:08] DaemonFC, Yea I totally agree - my machine is mean and lean with 8gb's ram and huge hard drive so bloat is not a BIG deal to me but is to allot of other folks. [06:08] alright- I tried moving back to 8.10, but I don't think I have tried 8.04- come to think of it, that's where I started out- thanks for your help. [06:08] I'll do that now. [06:09] snayth: "a lot." two words. :) [06:09] I've burned the Ubuntu ISO onto disk and will try to boot it --my windows XP boc has a C/drive(windowsOS) and a partitioned E drive for extras -- where will Ubuntu install? [06:09] semitones, yup - they just don't get it - but that's how it is [06:09] dbluefield: need an EXT4 and Swap partitions [06:09] :) [06:09] snayth, GNOME is actually scrapping most of the $50,000 toilet seats anyhow [06:09] making room for GNOME 3 [06:09] Hey all. How do I use dd to copy only, say, 2MB of a source? [06:09] dbluefield, The installer will give you an option to resize your current partitions to make space for Ubuntu [06:09] dbluefield, it will install where you tell it to. [06:09] dbluefield, you can rearrange your partitions using the installer [06:10] didnt understand that juan [06:10] dbluefield: need to make 2 more partitions [06:10] will it add another partition? [06:10] dbluefield, or you can just run it off the CD and not install it. :) [06:10] dbluefield: 1 EXT4 / 1 Swap [06:10] snayth, It's not going to surprise me when GNOME 3 is out with all the features it has now and comes in lighter than vanilla XFCE [06:10] dbluefield, the real question is, what would YOU like it to do [06:10] XFCE is already overtaking the resource usage title away from GNOME and KDE anyway [06:11] anyone know how to format off the security crap that is on kingston DTVP usb drives [06:11] DaemonFC: XFCE is not so lightweight now [06:11] DaemonFC, but XFCE is so pretty :P [06:11] a necessary consequence of doing more and being more things to more people [06:11] when I turn the computer on - do I get a choice between windows and ubuntu? [06:11] i want to make it a regular USB drive to work on windows and linux [06:11] Should I reboot the server after updating? [06:11] seme, really ? [06:11] dbluefield: yes [06:11] DaemonFC, LXDE is the new lightweight king (aside from fluxbox) [06:11] semitones, You know though it only takes about two weeks for someone that I've put linux on their computer and there saying stuff like - Wow this seems so much more solid the windose and it doesn't crash - so they get the big picture quite quickly [06:11] Dravekx: only if requested [06:11] is that in the Bios --what does it look like? [06:12] juan_, ahhhh. k. [06:12] snayth, yeah, it tends to be that way [06:12] dbluefield: When you insert the disk it will give you 3 choices, use entire disk, side by side, or custom, i believe side by side does ext3 with swap automatically, and custom you must define what partition type nad what the swap size is === aksci is now known as thedancingdeer [06:12] dbluefield, it comes after the bios [06:12] dbluefield: make Back-Ups --->Data [06:12] mushy1, You can format it with either fat32 or ntfs and both windows and linux will be able to read and write to it, though Mac OS only supports reading ntfs by default ( it supports reading and writing to fat32 though ) [06:12] LavaEagle, Side by side does Ext4, and way too much SWAP [06:12] DaemonFC, Gnome 3 ? Is that going to in Lucid ? [06:12] just like normal install does :D [06:13] DaemonFC: ty [06:13] snayth, no it will probably with 10.10 [06:13] Im not to fond of dual booting ubuntu and windows. :( I always have problems with it. [06:13] snayth, No, GNOME 2.30 will, GNOME 3 will ship in place of GNOME 2.32 [06:13] thanx - Im getting the idea - any best practises for installing? [06:13] Jordan_U: right now my linux cannot read it at all [06:13] and wine cannot run the DTVP exe thing [06:13] Dravekx: agreed, even though it is fairly stable it is always preferable to dedicate a comptuer to it [06:13] dbluefield: backup [06:13] dbluefield, stick with ext 3 [06:13] LavaEagle, The installer tries the 3.5 times physical RAM rule, which doesn't work out so well on systems with over 4 GB [06:13] dbluefield: use EXT4 [06:13] custom install is advisable [06:14] err, 2.5 [06:14] DaemonFC, I had heard about that ( Gnome 3 ) - Have to check it - Sounds great. [06:14] my disks are NTFS [06:14] mushy1, Can you give more information about what exactly this device is? [06:14] juan_, ext4 has reports of data loss [06:14] snayth, You can preview it by installing gnome-shell [06:14] whenever u close my gnome-terminal (using ctrl+d) after using the terminal a bit, my volume is set to mute! how do i check the scripts which run after closing any terminal? [06:14] is ext 3/4 an install option? [06:14] dbluefield, You can install to ext2/3/4, XFS, ResierFS, or JFS [06:14] indus: not confirmed, all FS can data loss [06:15] !installation > dbluefield [06:15] dbluefield, please see my private message [06:15] juan_, GRUB was even corrupting ext3 at one point, in RHEL [06:15] :D [06:15] I have all my data on a seperate hard drive - its in the computer---any problems there? [06:15] DaemonFC, I'm running Karmic now - Would be best to setup in a virtualbox or something 1st you think? [06:15] dbluefield, i say stick with ext3 its proven [06:15] Jordan_U: http://www.kingston.com/flash/DTvaultPrivacy.asp 2gb version [06:15] i want the security GONE preferably [06:15] indus, I've used ext4 for 3 months now, no problems. [06:15] DaemonFC: i never trusted RHEL [06:16] i too, but have a look at this wait [06:16] DaemonFC: or Centos [06:16] snayth, gnome-shell is in the repository, you have to manually tell it to replace metacity -or- compiz by using gnome-shell --replace === jon is now known as Guest38442 [06:16] same here, 3 servers on Ext3 and 3 on Ext4 ... Ext4 seems very stable to date. [06:16] and that's just for one session anyway [06:16] EXT4 is rock solid [06:17] thanx -- sounds like 3 or 4:) [06:17] if suddendly power failure any FS can data loss [06:17] I think it also adds an option to use it in the Appearance applet where you normally select metacity or Compiz [06:17] but its strange [06:17] on any EXT [06:17] where is the best place to download the lucid lynx development version? The daily image won't install [06:17] juan_, I don't trust Ext4, you can format as many of your own drives with it as you care to :D [06:17] juan_, its not rock solid as ext 3 [06:17] dbluefield, go with 4 -- newer = better support in the future [06:17] for the average uer Ext3 or 4 is more than enough. if you want high performance, XFS. [06:17] my hysical data drive should be safe? (he asks hopefully)? [06:17] DaemonFC, I might install karmic in a VBox and try that - Don't want to screw up this setup I have now - it's running sweet [06:18] this is for basic web surfing [06:18] juan_, DaemonFC http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Nzk0OA [06:18] unless I get into linux big time:) [06:18] ubottu: ubuntu+1 | SpinachHead [06:18] SpinachHead: Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) is the current release of Ubuntu. Download: http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.10/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/910 [06:18] Ext4 is already far less reliable because it uses Extents, if you're paranoid you'll want to use Ext3 [06:19] ... [06:19] DaemonFC, After all my HDrive is just itch'n to get filled up heh heh... [06:19] SpinachHead: sorry, wrong factoid. Lucid questions in #ubuntu+1 [06:19] I know, XFS uses extents too [06:19] snayth ... I run UB, XUB and EUB all 9.10 from a single laptop VM, works great, lets me eval all off them painlessly. [06:19] dbluefield, just back everything up. Run Ubuntu from USB or CD and see if you like it. THEN, if you want to dual boot, go for it... but not unless you are sure. i would recommend against dual boot. It's better to stay 1 O/S per machine. [06:19] XFS is also much more mature than Ext4 [06:19] I want linux for security basically [06:19] Ext4 has only been tested on the masses for not even 2 years yet [06:19] okay, thx [06:19] XFS dates back to 1994 [06:20] kelha, You like VM over VBox? [06:20] DaemonFC: no, i use it for years starting on Sabayon Linux [06:20] sounds like good advice Dravekx [06:20] DaemonFC, well, its an evolution of ext 3 so you cannot say its 2 years old /new [06:20] DaemonFC: the first to support it officially [06:20] Sup everyone. anyone know why I have cdrom2 that wont mount? [06:20] I use for testing. All my real boxes are native installs. [06:20] DaemonFC: it sux :) [06:20] Quick, easy question: Is it a bad idea to remove gedit? Aptitude says it'll remove ubuntu-desktop. Is that safe? [06:20] kelha, Was talking about Vmware. [06:20] I use VMware on my laptop [06:20] juan_, The on-disk format of Ext4 is radically different from Ext3 [06:21] ubottu: ubuntu-desktop | xtagon [06:21] xtagon: k/ed/x/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading. [06:21] dbluefield, advice from experience. I'm about a 7 month newbie still. [06:21] so you guys think dual boot will cause problems? [06:21] dbluefield, it will not ! [06:21] once you switch over to Extents, you'll never mount an Ext4 partition as Ext3 again (without deleting every file you touched since switching to Extents) [06:21] dbluefield, no, dual booting is great [06:21] rr. VMware .. I use Workstation 5.5.9 and it works, not the best, like I said, you want a real performance, Native Install is the way to go., [06:21] kelha_, opps didn't see your underscore - So do you use Vmware and do you like it better then VBox? [06:21] rww: Thanks. In the future, where do I check to see if a package is a meta package or not? [06:21] I'm totaL NEWB..lol [06:21] frankly i too never had an issue with ext 4, that article is one off i guess [06:21] what kind of dumbass still worries about dualbooting [06:21] dbluefield, we were all in your place, once :) [06:22] cdrom2: why is it in my computer? [06:22] niggas be quad booting these days while running multiple vms [06:22] hello, i can't set my resolution [06:22] with 10 monitors [06:22] dbluefield, dual boot is the most pratical way of installing linux [06:22] !ohmy | mushy1 [06:22] mushy1: Please remember that all Ubuntu IRC channels share the same attitude of providing friendly and polite interaction with all users of all ages and cultures. Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others. [06:22] i want LXC [06:22] You can create an Ext4 partition that's backward compatible by telling it to not use Extents, but then you've got yourself an overglorified Ext3 [06:22] I also run a VMPlayer 8.04 UB install on my i7 box for Folding at home. Works well. [06:22] xtagon: If it's in the "metapackages" section, it's a metapackage. "apt-cache show packagenamehere" will show a bunch of information, including the section. I believe Synaptic can show it also. [06:22] mushy1, dual booting windows and linux as a newb is like telling a ford mechanic to build a GM car. [06:23] I'd like to go for it -- if it craps my machine out - oh well [06:23] rww: Great. Thanks for being so helpful :) [06:23] dbluefield, here is some neat advice, one partition of say 10 gb for / , the rest for /home and size of ram for /swap [06:23] Dravekx, I disagree, for a determined user it's no problem [06:23] no its not [06:23] first [06:23] have the cat run the ubuntu live cd [06:23] I feel invisible...lol. [06:23] figure out if he even NEEDS linux [06:23] i already install my driver [06:23] right. [06:23] then the partitioning is so easy these days [06:24] with the interface it gives [06:24] can you use a slide bar? [06:24] tkotu: whats t problem? [06:24] dbluefield, thats of course if you have manual partitioning, [06:24] if you can use a slide bar and click next you can dual boot [06:24] end of discussion [06:24] I guess what Im asking is -- my 1st physical drive has one partition C & E -- will Ubuntu make 2 more? -- the E drive has about 60 gigs left [06:24] mushy1, please don't use enter as a punctuation :) [06:24] well, nowadays there is really no need for dual boot.. windows and linux can do pretty much the same things. [06:24] dbluefield, if you want it to, it will [06:24] its a matter of know-how [06:24] PERIODS DONT EXIST ON IRC [06:24] you're also not going to benefit much from Ext4 by mounting an Ext2/3 volume as Ext4, because most of your files are in the old format and there is no defrag tool for Ext4 (yet) [06:24] dbluefield, ubuntu doesnt make any unless you tell it [06:24] I've run Ubuntu - I like it [06:25] Manual, after you've done it a couple time is the best way to go. Dead easy, and you can change things as you want to test them. [06:25] you need to format it to really get any benefit [06:25] linux cant play halo [06:25] dbluefield, what is on E ? [06:25] dbluefield, Yes it can [06:25] dbluefield: linux can play halo [06:25] dbluefield, it can erase your entire disk if you want, or it can resize your existing partions to make room for ubuntu. it's whatever you choose [06:25] Wine [06:25] really? [06:25] sudo apt-get install playonlinux [06:25] DaemonFC: eh... defrrag doesnt exist for ext3 either [06:25] E drive has some programs [06:25] !wine | appdb [06:25] appdb: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [06:26] Myrtti, The defrag after ext4 conversion would put the old files into the new format [06:26] !appdb | dbluefield [06:26] dbluefield: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [06:26] You don't need a High Performance FS on the /boot partition, swap is not formated, so that leaves you the rest to do testing with, maake one of each Ext2,3,4 XFS and riserfs [06:26] seems like wine would be more trouble? [06:26] I have a non-existent cdrom2. What do? [06:26] dbluefield, first things first, just install it , then comes wine [06:26] tkotu: theres no CDROM 2 on Ubuntu CDs [06:27] dbluefield, honestly, wine can be a hassle. I play games on windows, but use Ubuntu for everything else [06:27] tkotu: what CDS are you talking about? [06:27] Myrtti, xfs_fsr essentially tries to find a more optimal place on the volume for the fragmented file, copy the file there, and delete the original [06:27] thats what I was thinking semi [06:27] it takes a lot of work to fragment an XFS volume seriously though [06:27] !filesystem [06:27] An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview see also: man hier [06:27] do my viral web surfing in winblows too:) === Hannibal is now known as Neo|Desktop [06:27] Ext4 already has the hooks for e4defrag, but e4defrag doesn't exist yet [06:27] !foo [06:27] bar [06:28] whats the difference in apt-get and aptitude? [06:28] Dravekx: apt-get got super cow powers [06:28] lol [06:28] Dragnslcr, Aptitude has more options and isn't just a command line utility [06:28] I guess there's only one way to see - me should install...lol [06:28] it's basically a Synaptic for the terminal [06:28] juan_, so they are the same thing [06:29] Dravekx, aptitude used to have better dependency solution than apt-get , but i still find it is better [06:29] apt-get is no better [06:29] DaemonFC: being "for the terminal" makes it a "command line only utility" [06:29] my digital monitor doesnt show the BIOS - I hope it boots off CD first time:) [06:29] mneptok, You know what I meant [06:29] Dravekx: more or less, yes, some people say that aptitude got more CLI option, bue doesnt, apt-get got the options too [06:29] DaemonFC: no, i don't [06:30] ahhh [06:30] dbluefield, you need to enter into bios by pressing some key say f12 f8 etc or maybe del key [06:30] apt-get is shorter to type :-) .. that's gotta be a plus :-) [06:30] mneptok, It's an ncurses ui [06:30] does that help? [06:30] some people say that apt-get dont have reinstall, but it have apt-get install --reinstall package [06:31] DaemonFC: and ncurses is command line. [06:31] No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed. << I guess that means Im good and up to date? [06:31] thanx indus -- hopefully it will boot first try [06:31] just lurking here to see if there are any other bears in the woods [06:31] mneptok: More like TUI than command-line. There aren't really lines of commands involved. [06:32] Canonical make nice package manager GUI too [06:32] Dravekx, aptitude it reallu best to use if you're on debian unstable because it gives you safe-upgrade [06:32] xtagon: to invoke aptitude a user must type commands [06:32] I was thinking of putting Ubuntu on my E drive (sounds like ext 3 would work) will that be a custom job? [06:32] dbluefield, good luck :) [06:32] 1-SmartPM 2-Add/Remove 3-Software-Center [06:33] thanx indus [06:33] DaemonFC, aptitude safe-upgrade is exactly the same as apt-get upgrade IIRC [06:33] maybe aptitude is more "user friendly" I guess you would say. [06:34] synaptic is the best [06:34] indus, not efficient [06:34] Jordan_U, The last time I looked, there were things it held back that apt-get would probably have gone ahead and broken [06:34] aptitude has a minesweeper function that helpfully crashes it. Can't beat that. [06:34] SmartPM is nice [06:34] om26er, compared to ? [06:34] SmartPM, Canonical 2006 [06:34] juan_, RPMs on Ubuntu [06:34] :) [06:35] DaemonFC: not for RPM [06:35] thanx for the tips guys - have a great day! [06:35] DaemonFC: but can handle RPM and DEB at the same time [06:35] smart could install RPMs on Ubuntu, they tell you not to do it though :) [06:35] but you can :) [06:36] any LSB compliant got the capability to install RPM [06:36] too off topic now [06:36] yep [06:36] !offtopic [06:36] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [06:36] ssl: good or bad? [06:37] Dravekx: that's offtopic, also. [06:38] mneptok, how do you figure? Im wondering if its good or bad for ubuntu server. [06:38] Hi all. I recently upgraded to 9.10 and now I can't view youtube videos. What gives? [06:38] need install flashplayer [06:38] Dravekx: it's not a support question. start using SSL, and if you have questions, ask them. [06:38] dsnyders: sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras ; sudo apt-get clean [06:39] mneptok, k. :) [06:39] can i know.. [06:39] how can i reload my Bootloader... [06:39] !grub > gnomex [06:39] gnomex, please see my private message [06:40] dsnyders: do you know what flash is? [06:40] adobe [06:40] darthanubis, vaguely. It's some sort of internet video tool [06:40] wow [06:40] flash is a nice malware to watch interwebs video and halt the pc [06:40] yeah basically [06:40] semitones, Hey what version of Lubuntu are you running ? And where is the best site to download it from? [06:41] channel [06:41] !flash [06:41] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [06:41] XD [06:41] i'm trying to run rootstock, but i keep getting the message "qemu not installed" even though it is installed [06:41] snayth, I'll look for a link [06:41] adobe flash [06:41] DaemonFC, From the aptitude man page it appears aptitude safe-upgrade is actually *less* strictly safe. apt-get upgrade will never add new packages or remove old ones, aptitude safe-upgrade will remove packages that it thinks are "unused" if needed to upgrade another package. [06:41] semitones, Cooll thanks [06:41] darthanubis, So what happened to flash when I upgraded? [06:42] it did not go along for the ride [06:42] Jordan_U, That's probably orphan packages that would be removed by apt-get autoremove [06:42] so now you have to read the link I shot at you [06:42] !flash > dsnyders [06:42] dsnyders, please see my private message [06:42] it's only dangerous if the system flagged a needed package as an orphan [06:43] and then you probably have a bug in the distribution anyway B-) [06:43] darthanubis, Would have been nice if the upgrade told you about such things. [06:43] Jordan_U: aptitude keeps a running log of files installed and uninstalled not every this is perfect with aptitude , I would combination of ideas for install removes... [06:43] semitones, I found one version that is - lunbuntu-9.10 lynxis b23.iso [06:43] dsnyders: you are supposed to be aware of such things before you press buttons [06:43] snayth, the thing to do is install regular ubuntu, then convert it to Lubuntu -- there's no separate download as of yet. See here http://gilir.wordpress.com/2009/10/29/lubuntu-9-10-and-plan-for-lucid/ [06:44] dsnyders: all OSes still require some reading [06:44] DaemonFC, Yes, but the point is that aptitude safe-upgrade is *less* conservative in all ways than apt-get upgrade looking just at the descriptions in each commands man pages. Look for yourself. === lordmortis is now known as lordmortis|away [06:44] dsnyders its like java... if everone refused to use it we'd have something better..... download the .tgz file from adobe and extract it /home/[username]/.mozilla/plugins [06:44] lxde is not so DE independent apps, i try to install lxnm and it brings half LXDE [06:44] dsnyders ive a 64bit link if ya need [06:45] semitones, That's the big problem - I can't get regular ubuntu installed on this lappy - it's too slow. Any other suggestions [06:45] iflema: now why reccomend that, when he barely knows what it is. he should stay wiithin the repositories [06:45] snayth: mini.iso [06:45] snayth: minimalCD [06:45] dsnyders: you want to follow the PM I shot you. That is the supported method [06:45] juan_, ok - will try anything right now. [06:45] darthanubis get it from the shitty source.... [06:45] snayth, yes, if you install a minimal install of ubuntu (no graphics, commandline only really,) then you can install lubuntu on top, and it will run. See the link I sent [06:45] should i switch to kde, iam just worried aboutthe new applications [06:46] iflema: watch your fucking mouth [06:46] !language [06:46] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [06:46] * iflema :) [06:46] darthanubis: watch yours. [06:46] semitones, Ok will do - Always one step ahead of myself sorry.... [06:46] ah shucks [06:46] darthanubis, There are ten thousand different aspects to an operating system. Most people don't have the time to investigate every nuance. You just upgrade and hope. [06:46] snayth, no problem [06:46] darthanubis, anyways, thanks for the link. I'm processing... [06:46] dsnyders: hope is for fools [06:47] dsnyders: your better than that [06:47] theres an app on repo to sandbox the upgrade [06:47] How do I fix a non-existent cdrom2? [06:47] tkotu: you can remove it using sudo [06:48] tkotu, Do you mean a directory like /media/cdrom2 , a device node like /dev/cdrom2 or something else? [06:48] dsnyders: not even a good Idea... upgrade and hope for the best... I don't upgrade I watch and see how many problems there are with a system like mine the wait 6 months and see if there are solutions... [06:49] juan_, yeah, its also in places. it says I cant mount because it doesnt exist. === aaron is now known as TiMiDo [06:49] dsnyders: I did what you said I would have stayed with ubuntu for ever... :) like debian and archlinux [06:49] semitones, Sounds like an adventure - I'm up to it after all a year ago I tried installing Arch - That was loads of fun [06:50] snayth, yes, it should be pretty straightforward though -- I'd recommend using a wired internet connection while you install though, if possible [06:51] dpkg -l | grep boobs [06:51] lolwut [06:51] semitones, Yup not problem here - I have fiber about 20mb's down stream [06:51] snayth: archlinux has gotten easier to use I think in the next 2 or 3 years they may slow down the idea of rolling releases , but only time will tell [06:51] do it [06:51] snayth, alright, you should be set :) [06:51] mneptok, thanks [06:52] mneptok, join/quit messages? [06:52] yo yo yo [06:52] hi there [06:52] Can anyone help me with why "Hardware Drives" would still say "this driver is not activated" even after I click Activate and enter my password? The driver is for my wireless card. [06:52] archboxman, Yea I see it's number 7 on Distrowatch - May have to give that another try one of these days - I hear tell it's very stable [06:53] semitones: don't concern yourself with it. let's move on. [06:53] I've a "small" problem with my ubuntu 9.10 - i use cryptodisks (at least one for swap and one for home) and after an normal update today, it won't boot anymore because i cannot enter the passphrase for my /home [06:53] bryandunphy: run: sudo lshw -C network websearch for the product line [06:53] i've got likely problems a few times but usually after a second reboot, it worked... [06:53] mneptok, sorry, just curious [06:53] semitones, Yup - I'll give the ol' college try - Can't be worse that a trip to the dentist after all heh heh [06:53] but now, it's just fscked... [06:54] using ubuntu 9.10 and gnome, does anyone know how to change the folders shown in the places menu [06:54] semitones: no worries. but there are better things in this world to spend your time being curious about. ;) [06:54] Darkman: i use the ubuntus built-in Crypt, i never have a problem, i dont know these cryptodisk [06:54] m0nk3y: in nautilus, drag them to the left pael [06:54] panel === Mike is now known as Guest91713 [06:54] juan_: you mean luks?

[06:55] juan_: mhkay, dunno about that but i use those cryptodisks since a few releases, the problems started with 9.10 [06:55] kelha: right click on the channel > settings [06:55] ActionParsnip: how do i open that - when i type sudo nautilus it just reinitializes dropbox and opens the file browser to root [06:56] and i got a slew of errors in the command prompt [06:56] m0nk3y:1. sudo nautilius is NOT to be used [06:56] My gnome-panel doesn't restart when killed, how can I start it from terminal without having the terminal open all the time? [06:56] ActionParsnip, is gksudo nautillus ok? [06:56] m0nk3y:2. just launch one of the items in places to run nautiluis as you [06:56] m0ar, & exit [06:57] ActionParsnip: Why not sudo nautilus? [06:57] Hey, I installed via wubi and then I uninstalled ubuntu but the grub4dos menu still pops up when I reboot, any suggestions on that one? [06:57] semitones: thats the right way but we need to edit the user settings so we run it without [06:57] Ahh Hide Join/Part msg's seems to have solved it thanks. [06:57] ubottu: gksudo | m0ar [06:57] m0ar: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [06:57] ActionParsnip, gotcha [06:57] ActionParsnip: thank you very much :) [06:57] kelha: good :) [06:57] stevecam: And without closing the terminal? :D [06:58] m0nk3y: not all apps need sudo etc. you will break your system if you do [06:58] m0nk3y: glad you got the gold [06:58] m0ar, does it close the terminal when you run it? [06:58] without & exit [06:58] I removed my wubi but now its still there when I boot up my XP machine, anyone know how to get rid of it? [06:59] m0ar: sudo isnt made for x apps. it doesnt configure the enviroment correctly and you can screw up ownerships [06:59] m0ar: sudo is only for command line apps like ln, cp, mv etc [07:00] stevecam: If I run gnome-panel it's run in the terminal, which renders it unusable for me until I close down the panels [07:00] sudo su [07:00] m0ar; gksudo / kdesudo are for x based apps like nautilus [07:00] kdesu [07:00] juan_: sudo -s is advised [07:00] anyone know how to stop windows from going below the bottom panel on gnome in ubuntu 9.10 - i have a netbook so it's a really small screen [07:00] sudo -i [07:00] ActionParsnip, you could do sudo -i [07:00] flannel: isnt kdesudo a symlink to kdesu? [07:00] How to move a program that's run in terminal, as in gnome-panel, to the background? [07:01] Just shove it away from my sight [07:01] juan_: -s uses the users profile. -i uses roots [07:01] ActionParsnip: kdesudo doesn't exist. kdesu or gksu or gksudo (the latter two are linked) [07:01] use & [07:01] & [07:01] flannel: gotcha [07:01] m0nk3y dunno about that but sometimes you jsut need to use alt key to drag partly off screen, othewist autohide the panel [07:01] & moves it to background and exit will tell it to leave the terminal [07:01] koshari: thanks i'll try that [07:01] m0ar, "gnome-panel &" [07:01] why there is no bitchx on the repositories? or i just dont know how to find it? [07:02] stevecam: Not really, since I get a newline BEFORE gnome-panel starts :P [07:02] stevecam: Aka, can't use the terminal [07:02] m0ar, "gnome-panel & exit" worked on my system... [07:03] Oh nvm, after gnome-panel & I can ctrl-C the terminal :) [07:03] ZykoticK9: That closes my terminal for me :P [07:03] m0ar, but it should start gnome-panel first then exit... [07:04] m0ar, "gnome-panel &" will make it run as a background process, but as soon as you close the terminal the process will die, if you run "gnome-panel & exit" then it will run in the background and exit the terminal for you [07:05] hi guys my wubi install wont boot ubuntu so I am wanting to know if it would be possible for me to mount the wubi ubuntu disk on another ubuntu machine? if so what would the commands be? the two files are root.disk and swap.disk [07:05] i'm trying to resize my partitions using gparted, but it doesn't like NTFS, and wont resize it [07:05] lanks, Yes, it is possible. What happens when you try to boot from wubi? [07:05] ZykoticK9: & = at the same time && = afterwards [07:05] tomatoes7 install ntfsprogs [07:05] && not working [07:06] it just goes in to grub and when i try "boot" it just says error no loaded kernel [07:06] too fragmented NTFS can cause problemz [07:06] m0ar, i never suggested && ??? [07:06] juan_, two not too? [07:06] ZykoticK9: I just clearified, since you made a false statement :) & doesn't do anything afterwards [07:07] m0ar, fair enough [07:07] m0ar, && does something afterwards [07:07] lanks, That's easy to fix manually, once you have Ubuntu booting would you mind doing additional testing of a proposed package update? [07:07] Goodbye guys, have a nice day! [07:07] also, >> appends to a file [07:07] tomatoes7, did you log out of windows or just hibernate? If you hibernated, the partition is marked as busy. [07:07] m0ar, if you want to get "technical" the && mean after the first command successfully runs, run the next command [07:08] windows is not running [07:08] ZykoticK9: If you want to get techical, yes [07:08] no [07:08] how can i fix this?

[07:32] ZykoticK9: 3.5.7 was working OK, then I started to get issues where the UI would pause when I would click on anything in UI. My machine is plenty fast. I am running Firefox 3.0.17 from mozilla.org which works OK, but since it's i686, it gets screwed up with the gtk-qt theming engine. [07:33] :) [07:33] tsimpson: yeesh. slow down. :) [07:34] Speedy2, after many years of using Firefox I recently switched to Chrome - i'm liking it... === lordmortis|away is now known as lordmortis === ahmed is now known as Guest93468 [07:35] ZykoticK9: This maybe taboo but how do I add jaunty to my sources?

[07:36] Speedy2, s/image/imagine === sileht_ is now known as sileht === flo_ is now known as uffiole [07:39] heya, folks. could anyone give me a rundown as to what the importance would be for setting ownership on a partition? if it's a personal computer for one person, there shouldn't be any point to it, since anybody physucally accessing your computer would have access to everything anyway, and it would be pointless against internet threats as well since whatever you had mounted would be vulnerable regardless. [07:41] So I just installed Ubuntu Server 9.10 x64 on another box and it refuses to boot. the BIOS gets up to where it should hand of to GRUB but just sits there, no errors. Partitions and boot flags are OK, boot sequence in BIOS (even which HD boots first) is OK. Any ideas? [07:41] charles__, if you don't get an answer here try reposting to #ubuntu-offtopic as your question is not technically a support question === FeiRuoWa is now known as zz_FeiRuoWa [07:42] hi i have a slight problem with grub2, i had my computer setup with vista and installed ubuntu, worked mint, then decided to format the vista partition and install windows 7, sweet, booted from live cd and restored grub, sweet my grub boot menu is back, run update grub to update grub for windows 7 (windows 7 is on same partition as windows vista anyways). reboot and windows 7 wont load just gives me an error and i push any key and go b [07:42] ack to grub. any ideas on how to fix this? [07:42] charles__: that's the way Linux/Unix filesystems work, since the history of the operating system starts with big mainframes, computers shared by multiple people [07:43] charles__: it's easier to keep the peculiarities of the filesystem, since most of Linux boxes are still used as servers, than make an exception for the (for now) rare case of the computer being used by single person [07:44] Myrtti: oh, i understand that much, but i'm just asking if, as a regular joe with a PC, is taking ownership of a partition necessary. [07:44] ZykoticK9: OK! That worked! I backed up sources.list, repalced karmic with jaunty and firefox 3.0.17 came along for the ride :) [07:44] as in, would it cause any security risks should i not do so. [07:44] charles__: normal unix partitions don't have ownership. their subdirectories have. [07:44] Speedy2, nice! [07:45] gimpy530, Can you try booting with super grub2 disk? Or possibly try reinstalling grub from a liveCD. [07:45] !wireless [07:45] Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [07:46] charles__: and the unix security model keeps the root user separate from the basic user, which makes installation of viruses and rootkits a bit more difficult. Of course, if the user is unexperienced and given the powers of sudo, there's possibility for all kinds of catastrophes, but the basic premise still stands. [07:47] hi i have installed pidgin facebook and restarted pidgin its not shoing facebook chat what is wrong??? [07:47] Myrtti: aye, which is why i don't run around as root doing things. :) the only question i have is if having a partition full of MP3s accessable by anyone is a particularly bad thing. [07:47] charles__: probably not. [07:48] mark105, What error? [07:48] charles__: set things properly, and there won't be any danger. === yy is now known as Guest59922 [07:48] meowbuntu, did you install facebook-chat from the repo or from the google-code site? under Karmic i coudn't get the repo version to work, in Lucid it is though [07:48] charles__: as long as it's only mp3s though. [07:49] charles__: for any system files and user preferences you should have proper permissions [07:49] of course [07:49] ZykoticK9, from syapatic then from terminal http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-enable-facebook-chat-for-pidgin-in-ubuntu.html [07:49] ^ with no resaylts [07:50] what brought this up was accessing my files from a live CD... i coudl get into my ubuntu install directories just fine, but i couldn't get into my MP3 drive which i had set "take ownership" for when i formatted it [07:50] hi [07:50] Could someone explain me why when I install some custom icons package in openSUSE 11.2 KDE 4.3 they don't replace icons in programs tab in KDE menu? I have even updated KDE to 4.3.5 but with same result, I have a same problem on my other 2 PC's :/ [07:50] wtf the google os? [07:50] Question: when updates are applied to ubuntu, do they apply it to the main ISO for download ? or its a standard thing, and you must update it? [07:50] meowbuntu, i'd try uninstalling your current version and download the DEB from http://code.google.com/p/pidgin-facebookchat/ - best of luck [07:50] it made me realize that if somebody gets into my system, access to a mounted drive of MP3s is a forgone conclusion regardless of who "owns" it [07:51] rozbarwinek: this is #ubuntu, not #opensuse...? [07:51] charles__: yeah, filesystem permissions don't protect against physical access [07:51] hyperstream: LTS versions of Ubuntu get "point release" updates every so often with updated ISOs. Other than that, updates aren't applied. [07:52] charles__: on single user systems they're mostly there just to prevent malicious or erroneous scripts from wreaking havoc and to mitigate any security holes in web browsers and such. [07:52] Chousuke: well, i couldn't access the partition from a liveCD, so that was something... [07:52] charles__: that was probably something unrelated to permissions [07:53] charles__: but if you really want to keep your data safe, encrypt it. :) [07:54] Chousuke: well, i went in and started checking different files, to see what i coudl adn could not access... everything i was denied access t was tagged as "owned" with various r/w/x permissions toggled [07:54] Chousuke: so it was obviously a permissions issue [07:55] rww, bugger ;/ [07:55] rww, thanks. [07:55] Jordan_U: it just says "error: (some big mash of characters)" new line "press any key to continue" and goes back to grub, im not sure if this is a grub error or a windows 7 error though. [07:55] Chousuke: it just got me thinking that the only use for "owning" a drive partion would be to deny acess to other users on the same system. but i wanted to make sure there wasn't something else i wasn't thinking of. [07:56] charles__: right [07:57] charles__: traditional unix permissions are based on simple user ids, and if you can boot a livecd on a computer, you get to access things as root which has access to everything. [07:57] How does the Ubuntu game server work and what time does it run i live in australia so i don't understand UTC when im AEST australian eastern standard time GMT+10.00 [07:57] charles__: though, what filesystem do you have on the partition? [07:57] charles__: I think the ubuntu livecd uses the "ubuntu" user by default [07:59] mark105, Interesting, AFAIK all of grub2's error messages are plain english, but at the same time I don't think there is a way to "return" to grub after grub has chainloaded the windows boot manager. [07:59] anyone know how the Ubuntu game server works and what time does it run i live in australia so i don't understand UTC when im AEST australian eastern standard time GMT+10.00 [07:59] Buzza, game server? [07:59] Buzza, what is ubuntu game server? [07:59] hey i changed it back use easy bcd [07:59] Buzza, THE one run by artificial intelligence of the forums? [07:59] it's a game server for the members of ubuntu [08:00] hey guys, can anyone tell me how I can add new themes to firefox 3.5.7 on ubuntu 9.10? When I go to Tools > Add-Ons > Themes it only shows me default and "find updates" no get more themes or add anywhere... [08:00] hey does anyone have experience running ubuntu on the newer netbooks? got any recommendations? [08:00] Jordan_U: i think i may have fixed it, update-grub was not working properly, i needed to use grub-mkconfig, there was some string that grub has set for windows booting that was wrong [08:00] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommunityGameServer [08:00] how do i run irssi from the terminal [08:00] i have downloaded it [08:00] hi what formats will unetbootin work with fat 32 is limited. what about ext2,3,4 ???? [08:01] downloaded easy BCD? [08:01] okay, if a livecd uses root, which can access anything, then why does it not access drives i "take ownership" of when i format them? i went and tested it out with some new partitions i made, and none of them can be read once i take ownership... [08:01] vilkas: "irssi" . run it in screen if you wish to keep it perpetually running [08:01] charles__, mount them first [08:02] can't [08:02] i click on the drive, it says i don't have permission. [08:02] Buzza, you should ask in #ubuntu-gamers per the link you provided [08:02] i did 2 partitions. one i took ownership of, one i didn't. the "owned" one was totaly inaccessible. [08:03] If you want to remove grub and replace it with windows boot loader goto this http://neosmart.net/downloads/software/EasyBCD/EasyBCD%201.7.2.exe [08:03] after download run it and click boot loader [08:03] then click reinstall windows boot loader [08:04] easy [08:04] what i'm worried about is taking ownership of a drive adn not being able to use it if i reinstall or switch distros. but i also want to make sure my system is secure. so i wanted to find out WHEN and WHY i should take ownership of a partition. [08:06] so creat a partion in windows and install linux on that partion with wubi then if you wan't to upgrade to a new release or another distro format the drive and install your new distro ect then you won't stuff up windows either if you make a mistake [08:07] create [08:07] sorry [08:07] can anyone help me troubleshoot my sound? A lot of the ubuntu guides are written for those without sound upon install, but mine was working like 2 days ago :3 [08:07] asdfff, so what is the problem [08:07] lol can't believe I didn't mention [08:08] I can't get any sound to emit [08:08] from my headphone out jack [08:08] Buzza: was that suggestion for me? [08:08] yep [08:09] well thats how i do it anyway! [08:09] Buzza: so my concern is wanting continued access to my files, but wanting to be secure... and the solution is to install linux inside of windows... [08:09] oh lol! [08:09] my sound works now [08:09] nvm ^_^ [08:09] !enter | asdfff [08:09] asdfff: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [08:09] my deepest apologies [08:10] yes though if you want to access your files linux has to be installed on a different partion [08:10] Buzza: i appreiciate the help, but i thought getting away from windows was part of the point of using linux... [08:10] charles__: installing ubuntu via wubi is the last way of doing it [08:10] if you want to access files on windows that is [08:10] charles__: there await the dragons [08:11] hi what formats will unetbootin work with fat 32 is limited. what about ext2,3,4 ???? [08:11] ok well if you wan't to go flat out linux then backup your files music movies games all the good stuff and do a complete install of linux === ae86-drifter_ is now known as ae86-drifter [08:12] charles__, i recommend putting /home on a separate partition from / [08:12] charles__, its the same as poutting my docs on drive d: [08:12] i don't use windows anymore. i don't need access to my files in windows. all i need is to be able to use my files when/if i reinstall some flavor of linux, but also want to make find out if i should be clicking the "take ownership" option when i make a partition. [08:12] so i just used http://cs.ucsb.edu/~hnielsen/cs140/cilk.html those instructions to install cilk++ but when i try using cilk++ i get this, "cilk++: command not found" [08:13] charles__, then just put /home on a separate partition [08:13] meowbuntu, If it's a large enough drive you may want to just do a standard install [08:13] that's basically it right there... should i take ownership of partitions... and if i do how do i keep access through reinstalls/distro changes [08:13] why don't you take advantage of aernal hard driven ext [08:13] an external [08:14] charles__, "take ownership"? you mean when you install subsequent linux systems ? (i've not been presented with such an option) [08:14] Jordan_U, i cant its portable hdd and i cant butn iso images last time i tryed i wasted 10-15 cds overall [08:15] no... i'm using ubuntu, when i do into the "disk utility" application and format a partition, it gives you the option to "take ownership of this drive" [08:15] meowbuntu, You can put the iso on any file system you want and use grub2 to boot from it [08:15] no i meant after install store your files on an external hdd aka a portable HDD [08:15] Jordan_U, really how do you do that [08:15] that would be handy to know [08:15] charles__, i create my partitions at the time of a clean install [08:15] meowbuntu, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1288604 === Mowee is now known as Mowee`Bnc [08:16] thanks Jordan_U [08:16] meowbuntu, np [08:16] charles__, ie: from the live installer so i don't see that option... [08:16] okay, but what about a 100gig partition full of media files that you don't want to lose every time you reinstall... [08:16] ah, i see [08:16] charles__, you dont have the option of getting another physical hard drive ? [08:17] *sigh* [08:17] Atheros chipsets...pretty well supported in Ubuntu? [08:17] Geoffrey2, Yes [08:17] i don't get all the distro's of linux though there is too many why not have just linux ubuntu then upgrades like kubuntu like microsoft has xp vista 7 [08:17] Buzza, because thats not freedom [08:18] arg but there's not much difference with some of them\ [08:18] Buzza, you know this from first hand experience ? [08:18] yep [08:19] different distro is like different brand of cars [08:19] Buzza, also... offtopic. [08:19] kubuntu has a nice GUI THOUGH [08:19] honda, toyota, nissan, etx [08:19] i SUPPOSE MAKING A POINT!!! [08:19] kubuntu interface sucks compare to ubuntu [08:19] Buzza: Kubuntu's gui is not superior to ubuntu's. [08:20] it's verry simular [08:20] KDE rules [08:20] !offtopic [08:20] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [08:20] Buzza: finding the perfect disto is like finding the perfect car [08:20] though the theme is nice and the wallpaper but you can change that\ [08:21] Buzza: you wouldn't drive home a car with features you didn't like, or that lacked features you wanted would you? [08:21] definatly not [08:21] Okay. This is what is going on. I have Ubuntu installed. I make a partition on another internal harddrive for MP3s (for example). I am given the option to "take ownership" of the drive, which means that I can access it from that install, but not from a liveCD or another user. I need to know if this is something I SHOULD be doing, and if I will still be able to access that partition should I reinstall Ubuntu later or switch to another d [08:21] istro. Because so far, my experience has been that I CAN'T access it from a liveCD, and I want to cover my bases before I lose access to an entire drive's worth of data. [08:21] Buzza: please take the conversation to #ubuntu-offtopic [08:21] well im off anyway catcha [08:21] hi @ all, my java keeps crashing with firefox / opera on ubuntu 9.10 - 64 bit i allways have to sigkill java to get it even closet [08:22] any ideas? [08:22] charles__: if you reinstall ubuntu on the same drive its on, you should still have access to it. [08:22] sorry* [08:22] you should still have access to the mp3 drive [08:22] Whoever suggested re-installing grub for the problem I had, thanks, it worked [08:23] gimpy530, np [08:23] charles__: it SHOULD autodetect your mp3 drive [08:23] b4sakenxx: even if i install a different linux distro? [08:23] charles__: yep [08:23] as long as you don't delete taht drive, it should autodetect [08:23] b4sakenxx: the drive is detected just fine from a liveCD, but i can't access it becuase the permissions are set to somebody else [08:24] yeah [08:24] i can SEE it, i can't USE it [08:24] and the settings won't save [08:24] b/c its booting from a cd [08:24] see, that's all i needed to know... [08:24] Does anyone know how to initiate elements plugin for compiz fusion once its been enabed? [08:24] if i was never donig to have access from any other point, or if i just want' getting it from the CD [08:25] charles__: the only issue i would think you would have is the permission issue. once you install if you can't access it, all you need to do is take ownership [08:25] its normal [08:25] charles__, u have to mount the drive in liveCD to access it [08:25] charles__: kelvinella has a point there [08:25] i have stated multiple times that i could not mount the drive. [08:25] charles__, You can always change the permissions later as root with sudo [08:25] tho it should auto detect and automount these days [08:25] charles__, what is the error? [08:25] i loaded up with a liveCD, i saw the drive, it woudl not let me mount it. [08:26] "permission denied" or something to that effect [08:26] sudo mount [08:26] you need to be root to mount it [08:26] sudo mount [08:26] charles__, From a liveCD you can run "gksudo nautilus" to view the files from a GUI, but you should be very careful when running nautilus as root [08:26] i can mount all my hd in liveCD [08:26] I'm trying to get a version of Ubuntu called 64 studio to allow me to use xorg.conf, but when I config it my mouse is gone. And so I have to delete the xorg again to get mouse function, what can I do to get it work? [08:26] at this point, i'm almost positive i tried that, but after stating my issue worded a dozen different ways... i'm not sure WHAT i've actually tried anymore :D [08:26] I know Ubuntu doesn't allow xorg so where is the config files to manually fix in Ubuntu? [08:27] kelvinella, so why won't gvfs allow him to mount it (which mounts things under a folder in the home folder) [08:27] almark1: what do you mean we don't allow xorg? [08:27] can someone help me with this error http://pastebin.ca/1789903 [08:28] charles__, are you using terminal to mount it or just double clicking on the drive you see in nautilus at computer:// [08:28] when I use xorg.conf everything is fine but my mouse is missing, all I see is the arrow, I can't move it [08:28] charles__, what command did u try? [08:28] charles__: if you are worried [08:28] i'm going to get a glass of juice, and give this another shot. thanks for the help folks. (hopefully it really is just a root access issue and i was blinded by proximity and frustration) [08:28] almark1, Ubuntu allows an xorg.conf it just doesn't have one by default [08:28] charles__, and what was the error code? [08:28] charles__: i would suggest formating at mp3 drive as fat32 or NTFS [08:28] that way you can always access it from a windows install [08:28] just a thought [08:28] * airtonix lols [08:28] almark1, And 64 studio is not a version of Ubuntu [08:28] <--- does not sue windows [08:28] and I have read that ubuntu doesn't use xorg anymore but you can make one yes, where are the config files in a Ubuntu server so I can fix the mouse thing or at least know what driver its using [08:28] *use [08:28] I know [08:29] but they use Ubuntu from within [08:29] almark1: mouse drivers are pretty standard. Have you tried thie mouse in the liveCD or any other OSs? [08:29] I know its not supported by Ubuntu so I was just wondering ;) [08:29] yes [08:30] and it worked, you see what I want to do is use both my monitors for dual display, both work in this system but only at one time [08:30] and so I wanted to use xorg to fix the monitor problem [08:30] almark1, No, 64 studio is based on Debian, and Ubuntu is based on debian. But this channel would still not be the correct place to ask questions about a non official Ubuntu derivitive [08:30] Is it "safe" to check the integrity of an external hard drive using a bootable CD running inside a virtual machine? [08:30] but when I use it the mouse locks up because its a totally different config then this system wants [08:30] true [08:31] would debian be using a different way to config mouse settings ? [08:31] because the xorg was blank so I pulled my working xorg.conf from another partition to get it to work [08:32] I will check out debian thanks :) [08:32] TheMusicGuy, I wouldn't rely on it. There is an aditional and unexpected layer between the hard disk and the software doing the analysis. This may lead to false negatives. [08:32] KurtKraut: oh, ok. [08:32] KurtKraut: Is there a tool I can use to check the integrity directly? [08:33] ie. while linux is still running? [08:33] TheMusicGuy: you mean like fsck? [08:33] hi [08:33] TheMusicGuy, System > Administration > Disk Utility will check the smart data [08:34] devrethman: I don't know if fsck can do exactly what I need it to do. I'm trying to check to see if the device is physically broken. [08:34] TheMusicGuy: I think fsck does that, assuming the disk has an FS that there is an FSCK for, but I'm not positive. Anyone else know for sure? [08:35] devrethman, fsck just checks that the file system is sane, it will only detect hardware problems if they lead to filesystem corruption [08:35] The best source for true disk checking utilities are the drive MFG's themselves. Most offer extended disk analysis tools for their drives. [08:35] almark1 rename old xorg.conf > cd /etc/X11 and then sudo Xorg -configure [08:36] Right now I'm running fsck.ext3 -c -y /dev/sdd3, and occasionally a whole bunch of buffer i/o errors will be printed at once. [08:37] TheMusicGuy, Sounds like a hardware problem then [08:37] TheMusicGuy, If you have important data on that drive back it up as soon as possible [08:38] See, its actually an IDE drive inside an enclosure, which is connected to my computer through USB, so I'm not sure whether its a problem with the drive itself or the enclosure. [08:38] TheMusicGuy, Again, System > Administration > Disk Utility will let you see the smart monitoring data which should tell you more precisely what is going wrong [08:39] how to get grub menu on startup? [08:39] Lint01, Hold down shift [08:39] Jordan_U: Okay, but I'm just trying to find some backup options in case that doesn't work [08:40] I can't do it now because fsck still has a long way to go [08:40] Hi im having problems with ubuntu [08:41] evryone does,go ahead [08:41] Lint01: I don't. [08:42] ke1ha: I probably will check the mfg's website (SeaGate). I'm thinking its probably a hardware failure, but I want to be sure before ditching the drive because its fairly large and not that old. [08:42] TheMusicGuy: For what it's worth, I've lost a lot more enclosures than drives. [08:43] (large = high capacity) [08:43] 0000 [08:43] devrethman: really? huh. [08:43] my processor is constantly at 100% [08:43] Yeah> i've only ever lost one drive, and lost 3 or 4 enclosures. [08:43] hey is it possable to change an ext4 partition back to an ext3 without loosing the data stored there. [08:43] my rc-sysinit process seems to hang, what can cause this? [08:44] meowbuntu: I'm pretty sure no, but depending on how it's set up, you can sometimes mount an ext4 as an ext3 [08:44] meowbuntu: yes, if you didn't enabled ext4-specifix functions [08:44] TheMusicGuy: http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/support/troubleshooting_assistance/ [08:45] ke1ha: oh, heh, thanks [08:45] saves me some time [08:45] ubuntu installation (/etc/debian_version reports lenny/sid), fully upgraded - i can get apache repeatedly crashing. apache logs contain only "[notice] child pid 21982 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)" [08:45] Lint01, how can i find out if i did [08:45] any guidelines on how to obtain as much useful information for a bugreport ? [08:45] i looked at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CrashReporting - that wasn't very helpful [08:46] I'm starting to get frustrated myself. All I want is to burn my entire system to DVD. I've tried several utilities now and none seem to be able to figure out whether they're likely to succeed before wasting a disc + plenty of time. [08:46] They have an External USB Drive Troubleshooter ... does not look like they have a Native linux app. [08:47] I've read all the obvious info and quite a bit of obscure info on the topic. I don't understand -- I don't really believe -- how nobody can have written a decent DVD backup utility. [08:47] Lint01, i have just been using my hdd as usual i dont know if i actually enabled ext4 stuff unless it has done it automaticly [08:47] How much data do you have to backup ? [08:48] A Richlv, have any idea how to fix my processor constantly at 100% [08:48] meowbuntu: use debugfs to find out [08:49] ye how? [08:49] ke1ha: 22+ GB [08:49] Gryphon1, i just joined the channel. i'm haivng a problem with apache segfaulting myself. why would you approach me ? :) [08:50] The data has already been backup up, and the most important parts of the data is very redundant...risk of permanent loss is minimal. [08:51] But its not my data. I'm doing this for my sister. I have to make sure its as safe as possible. [08:51] i have also just joined myself and dont know what to do, know any one? [08:51] Hmm .. I assuming you need to span that backup. Backup's of that size are normally done to other disk arrays, you could always rsync it, bz2 or 7zip it probably get down to 1/2 to 1/4 of that size. [08:51] that knows [08:51] Gryphon1: Did what to yourself? [08:51] Richlv: head to apache support? [08:52] Hi all. is it appropriate to ask questions about problems with installing ubuntu trough wubi on windows 7 x64? [08:52] Unless it's mostly binary media files. [08:52] mostly, yes [08:52] GeppyZ: Well, yes, but AFAIR wubi has it's own support [08:52] got online theadmin! [08:52] hoe do see a device list in terminal === b0w is now known as zz_b0w [08:53] ke1ha: I think I'm going to have to convince her to buy a new external backup drive. :P [08:54] Why does "Ubuntu Firefox modifications" ruin many other addons? [08:54] is there a way to tell which files on my system had been changed? [08:54] I have installed the elements plugin and I have enabled it, but how do I activate it? [08:54] Two apps I have used in the past are Amanda and mondorescue they both backup to DVD's. Your probably better off with an external HD [08:54] meowbuntu: the ls command can do this check the man page [08:55] anyone? === bizkit_ is now known as I [08:55] !anyone [08:55] A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? === I is now known as we [08:56] hi, i used Storage Device Manager and changed some properties in partitions, now my partitions wont ask about password, and everyone can access it, how to make it as default like before?

[08:56] Leoneof: my guess is the permissions where changed, you will need to change them back, read: chmod [08:56] secret: Never mind. Nobody ever reads the guidelines for some reason :/ [08:57] mrpink57: i'm beginner -_- [08:57] How can I acticate my own key combination in CCSM?, I have chosen them but I can't initaiate them [08:57] !chmod [08:58] @ubottu I believe it's usually because the second question takes longer to type and think about. :P [08:58] An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [08:58] Leoneof: read about it there [08:58] mrpink57: thank you [08:59] ke1ha: I've been using rsnapshot for my own laptop's backups. Of course, my backup drive is a 80GB SATA in an enclosure, and my home partition is 100GB, so I'm limited in how much I can actually back up. [08:59] is there a way to tell which files on my system had been changed? [08:59] hola [08:59] resulta que mi disquetera no funciona y no me detecta cd [08:59] y mi bios no me da la opcion de arrancar desde usb [08:59] me pueden ayudar a habilitar esa posibilidad en mi computadora [08:59] Dose anyone know why a processer would constantly be in use? [08:59] Lint01, Which files, since when, and in what way? [08:59] Gryphon1: because the computer is on... [08:59] Gryphon1: Run "top", see what processes consume most CPU, close those [09:00] beat me to it [09:00] Gryphon1: trying to calculate more digits of pi maybe? [09:00] Gryphon1: you can also run htop to see the highed used [09:00] i have, its over loaded [09:00] I'd tar tgz the whole drive to that location then. if you use max compression, it should not be that bad. [09:01] sergi: When you go in to your bios what are the boot options? [09:01] ke1ha: can rsnapshot compress automatically? And is that safe? [09:01] compressed data is harder to recover if it gets corrupted. [09:02] Ummm have to check, not used it, but most any sync / archiver uses some level of compression. [09:02] Jordan_U: files that was installed by package manager [09:03] "compress" does not appear in the man page. [09:03] cd [09:03] hard disk [09:03] floppy [09:03] network [09:03] mrpink57: how do i run htop and what is its use? [09:03] I'm going to take a look at Amanda. [09:04] Gryphon1: Just go to terminal, type "htop" and hit enter (if it's not installed, you will get instructions on how to install it by running that) [09:04] thanks [09:04] just read the man page, does not talk about compression, but it's good for incremental BU's [09:05] yes, it uses hardlinks to reduce space consumed [09:05] Gryphon1: open a terminal and type htop [09:05] tar the whole thing then bz2 or gzip it. [09:05] mrpink57, cheers for the tip about htop. I knew hopping in here as a lurker would pay off. :) [09:05] Lint01, There are different ways you can check what files have been modified and how, which to use depends on why you want to know. What is your end goal? [09:05] mrpink57: Beat you to it :D [09:06] 7zip is supposed to have the best compression these days, although I've just started using it on UM builds. [09:07] Jordan_U: I need a list of all files created by package manager which were modified after creation [09:08] hay alguna aplicacion para que la bios te de la opcion de arrancar desde usb? [09:08] Who knows how to get a 4th generation ipod to work on Ubuntu? [09:08] couldnt you grep "pattern" "files" something like that? [09:09] ke1ha: you're taking about compressing 60GB+ of data, most of which is binary media, at regular intervals. Is it even possible to do that without the archival/compression process taking the better half of a day? [09:10] Lint01, Why? I can't give a good answer without knowing. [09:10] I mean, I'm sure there's a way, but how can it be done with tools like tar/gzip/7zip? [09:10] Sure, although we think 60+ GB is' allot, think of it in terms of DVD, 60GB is not very many 8GB DVD's it is. [09:10] TheMusicGuy, when you said "it uses hardlinks" were you talking about Amanda? [09:11] Jordan_U: how am I supposed to answer this question? also 'modified'='content changed', not just modification date [09:11] TheMusicGuy: I have seen some command scripts on Ubuntu forums on doing system backups to bzip2. [09:11] gerry__: no, rsnapshot [09:11] ah cheers [09:11] Granted, your compression ratio wont be stellar on binary data, but it will still archive it. === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz [09:12] hoe do see a device list in terminal i cant follow the first step in this tutoral there si no room on device ????? [09:12] ke1ha: I have no idea where to even begin with a project like that... [09:12] meowbuntu: type "lspci" in the terminal [09:12] If it's critical data, or things you can't afford to loose, a hardware solution is the right answer. [09:13] I start empathy, but there is no window showing up. Where is it? [09:13] ke1ha: what do you mean a "hardware solution"? [09:13] anodesi: Check tray for icons [09:13] Lint01, Possible options are etckeeper, dpkg log and bzr log of source packages, doing a diff from a fresh install and others. I refuse to explain all of them, and they all have different advantages and limitations. === jason- is now known as jasonjang [09:13] oh, it is this envelope [09:13] meborc, then [09:14] Its pretty easy these days. UB supports all sorts of SATA RAID cards. get 3 1TB drives, but then on a SATA RAID CARD and you good to go. [09:14] meowbuntu: then what? i mean... lspci will give you the list of devices... i thought that was the problem [09:14] ke1ha: O_o [09:15] ke1ha: first, I don't know what a RAID card is, second, I certainly can't afforce 3 TB. [09:15] *afford [09:15] Jordan_U: are you kidding me? I'm not gonna install a second system for this [09:15] TheMusicGuy, TB drives are pretty damn cheap now [09:15] Or you could use SW RAID, but that is a bit more risky. Disk drives are cheap these days. You can create LVM's RAID's Mirrors all with a few key clicks in UB. [09:16] gerry__: I've also heard they're unstable [09:16] Lint01, That's only one of the multiple options [09:16] mrpink57: do you know how to get a 4th generation ipod to work on Ubuntu? or what program i could use? [09:16] TheMusicGuy, I hope not :) [09:16] meborc, no ther is not enough room to do it [09:17] Gryphon1: no, i do not own a ipod [09:17] ke1ha: ahh, slow down. You're blowing my mind with terms. I'm a programmer, not a hardware engineer! :D [09:17] meborc, read the first step it has specific instructions. [09:17] ke1ha: but thank you for your help so far, nonetheless. :D [09:17] One of my Ubuntu File Servers are just a bunch of drives in an LVM. granted, there's not back up for that, but I back up smaller boxes to it and it was cheap, already had the drives. [09:17] Gryphon1: when you lug it in, does it appear in Rhythmbox? [09:17] *plug [09:18] yes mneptok [09:18] LVM is a Logical Volume ( Logical Disk ) that cna be 1,2,3,4 et etc drives. [09:18] Jordan_U: how dpkg log can help here? if it is impossible, just say so [09:19] but i cant put music on it [09:19] meborc, here is the resault http://pastebin.com/d547cd91e [09:19] Gryphon1: so what feature is not working? [09:19] ke1ha: don't you need a dedicated server for that? [09:19] every thing [09:19] meborc, i should mention the external usb hdd i have is ext3 atm [09:19] meowbuntu: sorry, can't help you... i'm also lost now :) [09:19] Gryphon1: clearly wrong, as you say it appears in Rhythmbox [09:20] Doesnt' need to be "deticated" .. just any UB box, and do a simple Samba share. [09:20] actualizar la bios me ayudaria a arrancar desde usb? [09:20] Gryphon1: it is being recognized. it is being recognized as a music player. so what are you trying to do that does not work? [09:20] Just have to be able to spin up the drives. [09:20] ke1ha: what is UB? [09:20] it come on rhythmbox, but thats all it dose [09:20] Ubuntu [09:20] oh. [09:20] :) [09:21] Gryphon1: can you copy music to and from it? if not, what is the error message you get? [09:21] It could be one disk, and a Simple Samba Share .. that technically is a file server. [09:21] if i have a program that results a list of files, one path per line, how can i easily make shell command that cats each of those? [09:22] i tried "myprog | cat" but that didnt work [09:22] there is no error message, it wont copy music on to the ipod, when i did get it on it did not show up on the ipod [09:22] Bash loop for i in $n .. do something. [09:23] Gryphon1: run "df -h" and tell me the mount point of the iPod [09:24] !es | sergi [09:24] sergi: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [09:24] mneptok, it seams it only works on iTunes [09:24] thanks! [09:24] Lint01, It may not be possible to easily do what you want, or it may be almost trivial, or somewhere in between depending on what you really want to accomplish. Please read http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#goal . If you do not want to give more information then I am sorry to say I can't help you further, your question as stated is hard but not impossible to accomplish. It is not worth my time or yours for me to explain the steps required to [09:24] do so when it is likely the wrong approach to solving your actual problem. [09:24] pa.fl.us.undernet.org [09:25] ke1ha: clearly I'm going to have to research this. It would be nice if I could set up a network backup server of some kind, but I really don't have the $$$ for the hardware I need for any real useful solution ATM. I have to make do with existing drives, possibly making use of DVDs. [09:25] how do i run "df-h"???????????? [09:25] Gryphon1: type it in terminal... hit enter [09:25] Gryphon1: Apps > Accessories > Terminal [09:25] Gryphon1: no quotes [09:26] Gryphon1: make sure its df -h (with a space after the "f") [09:26] Samba is your friend on limited resources, just create a shared drive on any Local LAN PC and you've got a simple file Server / Backup location. [09:26] hey all, sound recorder works fine but none of the im's pick up on my audio: ekiga/pidgin/empathy. How do I get started debugging things? [09:26] I've been through the 'tipical sound problems' page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems/KarmicCaveats [09:27] what is the ubuntu qa channel [09:27] I would share the biggest drive you have, and use rsync to copy sync the files over your LAN. [09:27] ke1ha: do you think it would be possible to set this up on a router, ie. using custom firmware? [09:28] Baring in mind, rsync will only ensure they are equal, if you need incremental backups, there's loads of Bash scripts for doing that. [09:28] and some kind of usb/ethernet controller? [09:28] mneptok it mounted on /media/ipod [09:28] well, unless your on Dialup to this IRC, you've got a LAN already of some sort. [09:29] Gryphon1: ls -l /media/ipod [09:29] Gryphon1: who owns the mount point? [09:29] yeah. My router runs DD-WRT, and I've successfully ssh'd into it once or twice. [09:30] if you can SSH to a box on your router, you can do just about anything you need. [09:30] mneptok: /dev/sdb1 [09:31] Gryphon1: ls -l /media [09:32] the Ubuntu docs on Samba shares are pretty good. Follow them for settigng up a simple shares drive / folder. [09:32] Gryphon1: you'll get something like "drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2009-09-10 17:17 cdrom0" and i want to know what it says in the "root root" bit [09:33] Gryphon1: not for cdrom0, but for the iPod [09:34] Jordan_U: which part of my question did you not understood or which additional information do you require? It's rather clear in my opinion [09:35] TheMusicGuy: yes, you need to be able to connect form one PC to the other somehow. [09:35] Lint01, I'm sorry, I can't help you. [09:36] There is nothing like"drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2009-09-10 17:17 cdrom0" [09:36] does kopete have yahoo voice and webcam support [09:36] Gryphon1: ipod [09:37] indus, google it [09:37] Gryphon1: you type "ls -l /media" (no quotes) and press and it should have a line about the ipod [09:37] How to get a list of all files on my system created by package manager whose content had been changed then? [09:37] om26er, well, that can be done by everyone, then whats the point of coming here [09:37] om26er, you think i havent googled it already? [09:37] ke1ha: this sounds like an involved project. I'm going to need to... [09:37] !google | om26er [09:37] om26er: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [09:38] 1.) mount a samba share _permanently_ either to or from each of the PCs that want to back up their data, [09:38] 2.) get my router to connect to the backup drives (somehow), [09:38] and 3.) install software either on the router or on each of the PC's to be backup up to perform some kind of incremental and/or compressed backup automaticallt [09:38] hi [09:38] just wanted to know , if anyone has info if the newer version has more functionality [09:38] !kopet [09:38] ke1ha: do I have that right? [09:38] !kopete [09:38] Instant Messenger Client Kopete (http://kopete.kde.org) supports MSN, Jabber, AIM, YIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ and, in KDE 3, IRC. See also !Pidgin [09:39] TheMusicGuy: it's not really, it just sounds like it. In facts it's about 5 or six comman line arguments, and a few lines in smb.conf. [09:40] Oh, and I should probably figure out this LVM thing while I'm at it, assuming I can get ahold of some more backup drives. (It's possible, but unlikely.) [09:40] yes, you need a router that you can connect 2x computers to, wired is better for this, the Add Samba to share a folder, that's it really. [09:40] mneptok;is that it or should i copy the other stuff? lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 2010-02-01 09:49 floppy [09:41] ke1ha: hmmm. well, okay. [09:41] Gryphon1: is the iPod plugged in and mounted? [09:41] Yes it is. [09:41] Gryphon1: then "ls -l /media" should have a line about the iPod [09:42] Its a far better solution than DVD's, although DVD's could be used, it's not generally considered the best method.

[09:43] Gryphon1: did you use this iPod on a Mac or on Windows? [09:43] btw, wireless is kind of required atm. I know wired would be faster and more stable but there is really only one computer in the house that can be connected wired all the time. [09:43] and its pretty old. [09:44] Wireless is ok, just do do a 60GB backup while your trying to use the network for anything else, or it will be pretty slow. [09:44] oops just dont do .. [09:44] hi [09:44] No i tryed it on linux first then when it did not work i put it on windows. [09:44] I am getting errors while compiling hydra gtk [09:45] Gryphon1: unplug the iPod. look in the Settings menu. the last item should be "Format" or something. [09:45] Old is ok for the File server, processor power is not needed for a file server, just stable. [09:46] i have created a .deb package of php 5.3 but it seems to take so long to install is that normal [09:46] Gryphon1: and you just bought this? from where? is it new? [09:46] kontol [09:46] I am getting errors while compiling hydra gtk.please help [09:46] In fact, Xubuntu is a good candidate for Older hardware, runes with less resources. [09:46] whats difference between xubuntu and ubuntu other than light weight, i mean is there something i cannot do with it? [09:47] ke1ha: I think I'd rather have the router be the server (if possible) because I know it will be on all the time. [09:47] indus, xubuntu simply has xfce frontend instead of gnome [09:47] indus, no you can do everything in any desktop environment [09:47] dont even need the GUI version, Xubuntu or Ubuntu server installs would be ideal.

[09:48] indus, yes sure [09:48] in settings at the its reset settings [09:48] Gryphon1: is it formatted for Windows, or Mac? [09:48] A router, is just that, it routs things, unless you add a NAS (network attached storage), which is a whole other ball of wax, your file server needs to be another box. [09:49] I am getting errors while compiling hydra gtk.please help [09:49] hi all [09:49] hi [09:49] how do i cheak? [09:49] ok 1 question, how do i open links in chrome instead of firefox from irc [09:49] TheMusicGuy: does the router have a USB port that supports mass storage controller functionality? [09:50] indus, you'll need to set chrome as a default browser [09:50] Gryphon1: it's in the iPod menu system [09:50] indus: make chrome the defautl browser [09:50] from where do i set it? === lordmortis is now known as lordmortis|away [09:50] ke1ha: a router is just a computer. It has RAM, internal (nvram) storage, a CPU, and in this case, MANY network interfaces. [09:50] random question, is there any reason why volume would start off as 0? [09:50] undus: im running Xubuntu on a D400 Laptop right now on a VM install, runs real well, no issues. [09:50] ie. boot up, no volume and the control is set to 0 [09:50] simplechat: Does it get muted every time you shut down [09:51] System> Preferences > Preferred Applications [09:51] stupidity is over coming me, Where? [09:51] only has 300MB deticated to the XB OS [09:51] It shouldn't be [09:51] DJones, i don't set it to mute when i turn it off, but its muted when it starts up [09:51] how long doesit usually take to install a deb package on ubuntu [09:51] mneptok: It does not have USB, but I've seen devices that can be used to make a couple of USB drives act like network file shares. [09:51] motaka2, 1 min [09:51] simplechat: Have a look post 7 on this bug report, I had that bug and it's what I did to solve the problem https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libao-pulse/+bug/455357 [09:52] mneptok: hang on, I'll find a product listing. [09:52] ok done thanks [09:52] TheMusicGuy: do those devices have drivers supported by your router's firmware? [09:52] Well, a computer can be a router, but generally, a router cannot be a computer. [09:52] motaka2, depends on the size of file and speed of the computer. its quick [09:52] mneptok: the firmware is dd-wrt. [09:52] If it doesn't have the drivers, I can install them. [09:53] Umm, not exactly. What type of router do you have ? [09:53] om26er: I HAVE DEB PACKAGE OG PHP5.3 AND IT IS INSTALLING FOR MORE than 15 mins, is there something wrong with it? [09:53] TheMusicGuy: oh, really? what if the only drivers provided are for Windows? [09:53] mneptok: Why would I need special drivers for a standard transfer protocol like SMB? [09:53] ok , i want a super quick desktop but with a slick look, iam not happy with gnome [09:54] TheMusicGuy: how do you plan to connect the disks? [09:54] TheMusicGuy: you do not have USB. CAT-5 is not an IO option for hard disks. [09:54] TheMusicGuy: you either need a pre-rolled NAS solution or you need to create one yourself. [09:55] The device has an ethernet port and two usb ports. You plug the drive(s) into it and presents them to the network as file shares. [09:55] You can add NAA to a router without a computer attached to it, as the NAS has an embedded OS, but that's about the only way I know how to turn a router into a FS, but then again, it's not the router serving content, it's the NAS [09:55] oppps.. can add NAS [09:56] mneptok and TheMusicGuy any useful advice about my ipod problem? [09:57] Gryphon1: what format is it? Windows or Mac? [09:57] indus: Quick and sleek are quite... opposite [09:57] what is your ipod problem? (bear in mind I know little about interfacing linux with ipod) [09:57] Gryphon1: go and look. look through the menus. [09:57] theadmin, well,windows 7 is both [09:58] which one in particular [09:58] yeah, I agree, quick is usually not real cool look'en, sleek usually takes up some resource. [09:58] rumpsy, where is he? [09:58] Gryphon1: i don't own an iPod. do a Google search. [09:58] is there a way to install xorg without all of the superfluous drivers that the virtual packages seem to require? [09:58] indus: Did you even _try_ running 7 at 512MB ram? It's slower then anything [09:58] theadmin, i have another system 2 gb so its running dapper :) [09:58] FluxBox is a real lightweight Desktop .. as is Xface. [09:59] it looks like MAC [09:59] theadmin, so yes i understand your point, [09:59] ke1ha: XFCE, not XFace [09:59] Unfortunaly, Gnome, KDE all = Lots of stuff :-) [09:59] theadmin, i have a system with 384 ram, but i find windows xp looks better than xfce [09:59] checkinstall command not found! what should i do? [09:59] indus: Yes... [09:59] Hi, Im trying to add usrquota support to my /home partition > after i edit the fstab how do activate it? [09:59] but i think i havent seen the newer xfce [09:59] Gryphon1: then that's your problem. Mac-formatted iPods have numerous show-stopping issues in Linux. reformat it for Windows. [09:59] maybe it looks better [09:59] Yeah, I know XFCE :-) [09:59] Gryphon1: take it to an Apple store and they will do it for you. [10:00] The Mouse Face :-) [10:00] oop, got it. just had to launch the installation from a driver [10:00] indus: It's quite ugly actually... Well, GNOME is the best for me. Fast AND nice :D [10:00] How to get a list of all files on my system created by package manager whose content had been changed then? [10:00] theadmin, :D [10:00] theadmin, i think nautilus takes too much time to open the folders [10:00] ke1ha, mneptok: I know someone who is currently using DD-WRT on a router to serve files over the internet. It's that's possible, it shouldn't be hard to allow local filesharing through smb. [10:00] !rumpsy [10:00] theadmin, i just installed xp yesterday and its a snap [10:00] ok mneptok what contry are you in? [10:01] Gryphon1: USA [10:01] something wrong with gnome it seems like [10:01] DD-WRT, who makes that router ? [10:01] ke1ha: DDWRT is firmware [10:01] rumpsy is not helping me :( [10:01] well i am in Zimbabwe and there are no ipod stores hear. [10:01] how do i get kradioripper to connect to a stream to record it? [10:02] Gryphon1: so do a Google search for "reformat ipod windows" and follow the steps [10:02] ke1ha: the router is a Linksys WRT54G series router. [10:02] Firmware embedded to hardware ? [10:02] hey is it possible to install chrome on ubuntu? [10:02] titan_ark: Yes [10:02] or another browser besides FF? [10:02] DJones, without wine [10:02] It's a special type that has 8MB of internal flash storage. [10:02] actually i hear kde is faster ,and of course it looks so gorgeous i can almost weep [10:02] (more than other models in the series.) [10:03] Right, Im not up speed on this DD-WRT firmware, I have a Linksys Game-Fuel router. But know of no way to make it a file server. [10:03] but i prefer gnome for simple menus, and kinda got used to the apps [10:03] titan_ark: yep, I use either Chromium or Chrome, they're both available in ppa's, although not officially supported yet [10:03] titan_ark: There is a Linux version of Chrome. Opera also has a Linux version [10:03] ke1ha: it basically just runs busybox linux with special software to access the router's...well, routing features. [10:03] DJones, okay, could u help me add it? [10:03] Ive reformated the ipod 3 times, it works on windows but i use linux and i want to get it to work in linux [10:04] TheMusicGuy: http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Samba_Filesystem [10:04] titan_ark: Just... chrome.google.com and download the package from there [10:04] Yeah, Ok, how does it deal with Disk I/O ? [10:04] theadmin, i remember trying opera but it does not support flash right? [10:04] ke1ha: it would have to mount using samba. [10:04] theadmin, ah, i was hoping for a way via console :P [10:04] ke1ha: that's where the fileshare device I mentioned comes in. [10:05] can any one tell me how to get Kradioripper to connect to shoutcast stream? [10:05] Pass, I'd have to read up on that, as Im using Ubuntu server SW for allmost all my LAN funcitons. [10:05] ke1ha: there are a few 3rd-party firmwares for home-routers being able to use that router as NAS/fileserver [10:05] So mneptok: whats the States like? [10:05] titan_ark: I used http://dev.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel#TOC-Linux with either the beta/dev channel, dev channel is slightly less stable but I've not had problems with it, if you pick the beta channel, it'll add a google repository then you can just add google-chrome via synaptic [10:06] DJones, cool thx a bunch. i downloaded it from the site [10:06] Now that's diffrent, if the firmware makes it a NAS, then yes, I suppose it's possible, but it's gonna need an OS even an 8MB OS could be possible. [10:06] ke1ha: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Hitachi+-+SimpleNet+USB-to-Ethernet+Adapter/9362021.p?id=1218091958703&skuId=9362021&st=ethernet%20usb&cp=1&lp=5 [10:06] titan_ark: Don't forget that it isn't officially supported, so if you have problems, you might not always get support in this channel [10:06] ke1ha: dd-wrt is embedded linux-os [10:07] Ha! It actually SAYS that it's linux-compatible. That's pretty rare to see. [10:07] ke1ha: dd-wrt on my asus wl500gp: Linux router 2.4.37 #5193 Thu May 21 01:18:07 CEST 2009 mips unknown [10:07] DJones, yeah :) thx for reminding. i am a FF user by default, never used Opera on windows either :P just want an additional browser so thought il try it [10:07] ok, well I dont know enough about DD-WRT to comment furthele.r on that. But if you can get Samba on your router embedded OS< then I suppose it's possib [10:07] titan_ark: FF is the best. It actually is the only Ubuntu browser on which flash works without problems [10:08] ke1ha: theres a lot of other stuff you _could_ run with dd-wrt, but not all makes sense (to me) === lordmortis|away is now known as lordmortis [10:08] theadmin, well i cant say i have no flash problems on FF in ubuntu. but it was bug free in kde. [10:09] I've never had a need to but that load onto a router, so iv'e not go down that path. I want the router busy routing, not file serving. [10:09] If I wanted the router & file server on one box, I'd put it on a Cmputer with 2 NICS> [10:09] mneptok: are you also using UBUNTU? [10:09] ke1ha: After samba is set up, I still need to determine the best way to set up automatic backups for each PC. Should it be initiated by the server (the router), or should it be initiated by each client on its own time? [10:09] and a switch of course. [10:10] TheMusicGuy: use cron-jobs on clients if they don't run 24/7 === nosrepa is now known as aperson [10:10] Backups = Simple Incremental or sync script. Use crontab for scheduling. [10:11] Incremental sill take up more room, but give more restore options, rsync, fast and mirris the source tree. [10:11] Gryphon1: of course [10:11] oops mirrors the source tree. [10:12] TheMusicGuy: look at rsnapshot === GhostEyes is now known as RainbowEyes [10:12] Gryphon1: but that's off-topic. you should go and learn how to reformat that iPod for Windows [10:12] At least one of my systems will be running windows; I can't use a purely linux solution [10:12] TheMusicGuy: there's rsync for windows too [10:12] Thanks for the help [10:12] llutz: rsnapshot too? [10:13] TheMusicGuy: idk, no windows to backup here :) [10:13] Gryphon1: np. good luck. [10:13] rsnapshot is good for incremental BU's like we talked abt earlier. What's the goal of the back up ? [10:13] But i still want to get it to work on Ubuntu! [10:14] Gryphon1: it will, once formatted for Windows [10:14] To prevent a lot of important data from being lost once all these old machines I have finally die. :D [10:14] TheMusicGuy: http://www.stillnetstudios.com/snapshot-backups-howto/ [10:15] ok, but do you need multiple restore points, does the data change dynamically ? or is it primarily static data ? [10:15] Sure thanks [10:15] ke1ha: its a bit of both. [10:16] I guess a large portion of it is static, but there are some things that get changed regularly. [10:16] well I'd say rsnapshot or rsync then. [10:16] I need to add copyright information to lot's of files... any ideas how to do it without having to open file by file? [10:16] cat >> [10:17] If I use rsnapshot, I basically just point its backup location to a mount point that is a network drive and then use it as usual, correct? [10:17] Bash for i in $n ... cat >> [10:17] are there any known issues with Lucid where a system sits at the login screen with a spinning mouse cursor? [10:18] failing that... where can I see exactly what is causing my system to hang there [10:18] DocPlatypus: You'll be better asking that in the Lucid support channel #ubuntu-1 [10:18] DJones: thanks [10:18] my paritions id is 83(ext3) but it's type still isn't recognized when i try to mount it [10:18] DocPlatypus: You'll be better asking that in the Lucid support channel #ubuntu+1 (I mean) [10:18] any ideas anyone [10:19] I'd read up on rsnapshot and test it to makes sure you understand all it's features / functions and ensure it meets your needs. [10:19] ke1ha: is that for me? [10:19] ah, I just read that it only runs on linux. [10:19] hm. [10:20] TheMusicGuy: continue reading [10:20] "....Rsnapshot only runs on Linux, but you can easily backup any machine running any OS with it......" [10:20] can anyone help me upgrading php5.2 to php5.3 on ubuntu 8.04 ? [10:20] Yeah, use a simple for each Bash loop toe cat the copywrite into to the end of each file. [10:20] llutz: that doesn't make sense... [10:21] TheMusicGuy: read how it works, then it will make sense [10:21] assuming there test, binary may be a diffrent story. [10:21] llutz: erm, I'll keep reading. [10:21] ke1ha: copyright information generally goes at the top. I need it at the top. [10:21] opps assuming they are text files... === debes is now known as cdebes [10:22] at the top, well, that can be done too, but I'd have to think on that one a bit. [10:22] Pupeno: cat file >> copyright.msg [10:22] (text only) === Gryphon is now known as Guest55617 [10:23] Pupeno: then just wrap a mv/copy around and you have it [10:24] anyone know a .jpg batch resizer ? for resizing like 20+ images.. ? [10:24] Quan-Time: convert [10:24] id' do an expect or something like that Pupeno ( ex - coptywrite< llutz: awesome.. cheers [10:24] convert may be a bit tricky to use though :P [10:24] Quan-Time: package is "imagemagick" [10:24] mostly because it has approximately eleventy billion different options [10:24] and finding the right one requires careful reading of the manual page :) [10:25] wow, we need to get on some Ubuntu topics .. :-) [10:25] Chousuke: -resize AxB [10:25] llutz: there a gui for it ? or all command based ? not a huge issue, but yer ;) [10:25] llutz: hehe. [10:25] my floppy drive does not work and is incompatible with my bios boot from usb, how can I solve this problem? [10:25] Quan-Time: i don't know any [10:27] Quan-Time: for i in *.jpg; do convert -resize AxB ${i}.jpg ${i}-resized.jpg; done [10:27] Hello, can anyone help me with starting an ad-hoc wirless connection? when I click on "connect to hidden wireless network" I can choose the network I set up, but I cannot click the connect-button. it's deactive. anyone know why that would be? === Lynx is now known as Guest26582 [10:27] I need help with tvtime or MythTV and xawtv, I can get sound from my tuner with xawtv, but no sound with tvtime or mythtv. Can anybody help me? [10:27] Quan-Time: might want to run that with echo in front of the convert first [10:30] Chousuke: ... convert -resize AxB "$i" ${i//.jpg}-resized.jpg [10:30] Is there any to boot from usb without bios support? [10:30] sergi: No. If BIOS does not support USB boot, you can't do this. [10:30] llutz: ah, some bash magic I see :P [10:31] For some reason when i have installed emacs using the packet manager it has installed an old version...version 22.2.1...(even though i did it recently)...the newest version is 23.1 How come packet manage did not install the newest emacs? [10:31] my webcam apparently supports videos of upto 1600x1200, but the program cheese webcam booth, only lets me select upto 640x480 [10:31] or ${i#*.}-resized.jpg [10:32] Diverdude: which version of ubuntu are you running? [10:32] nixjr: Same thing with webcammax. [10:32] Diverdude: 23.1 is in the repositories for karmic [10:32] and if I update the BIOS might solve the problem or give me the option to boot from usb, I read that Windows has an application for it. [10:32] Diverdude: Are you using Karmic or an older version [10:32] oh wait. [10:32] TupoyVolk, im nto sure, this the first ive evre used a webcam in linux, ill install that priogram now and test it [10:32] just go into your /etc/bashrc and change it to what you want command-line and GUI for your defaults. [10:32] apparently not [10:33] nixjr: webcammax has the same problem. + isn't opensource [10:33] ke1ha: ~/.bashrc [10:33] the version string for emacs is "23.1+1-4ubuntu2+22.2+0ubuntu6"... I wonder what that's supposed to mean :P [10:33] How to get a list of all files on my system created by package manager whose content had been changed then? [10:33] TupoyVolk, ah sorry, i misread that as a question not a statement, this this is a limitation of the software? [10:33] Diverdude: The latest version in the repo for Jaunty is 22.2, so if you're using Jaunty, that'll be latest version available === ubuntu is now known as teffers [10:34] Diverdude: try and see if you can install it from the "emacs23" package [10:34] yeah, for the current user ... for all users created change the adduser bashrc or just add it to your profile [10:34] DJones, but 22.2 is like way old...2 years old...newest version is 23.1 which is half a year old [10:34] nixjr: Yes, I have no idea why. it's frustrating, on the software that comes with the camera (for windows at least) you can use the max resolution. [10:35] Diverdude: it's at least in the karmic-updates repository [10:35] Chousuke, should i then uninstall my old emacs first? [10:35] Diverdude: shouldn't matter. you can have both installed at the same time [10:35] I have acer aspire 1640Z if I update the BIOS can boot from usb? [10:35] hey anyone got stepmania 3.9 working on 9.04 im tryign to compile sourcecode but havign a problem with it missing opengl librarys and or course the ubuntu package need libavcodec which is now depriciated [10:35] Diverdude: of course, if you aren't going to use 22, then go ahead and uninstall it :) [10:35] TupoyVolk, im thinking of setting up the camera to take snapshots every few seconds for a few days, there are many program that do this, or ones that take single shots i could write scripts for, do you have any reccomendations? [10:36] is it possible to boot from live cd without having a harddisk?? [10:36] angrynerd: should be. [10:37] angrynerd: Yep, should be [10:37] can i then plug in the messed up harddisk after booting from live cd to format it? [10:37] angrynerd: Yeah [10:37] hey guys on anyone nto so busy as to help[ me [10:37] ??? [10:37] ok great [10:37] and brb [10:37] llutz: I've spotted a couple issues: 1.) rsnapshot requires a filesystem supporting hardlinks, and I don't think samba supports that, 2.) the file server must initiate the backup process, which means backups will be missed for clients that aren't connected at the time the backup starts [10:37] you can't plug in a hard drive while the system is running... unless it's USB or unless it supports hotswap :P [10:37] yes, you'd just need to create a mount point for the drive. === teffers is now known as teffers|tea-brak === teffers|tea-brak is now known as teffers|Brew [10:38] llutz: the second one may or not become a problem [10:38] well true, needs to be a USB deal or have it installed at boot the mount it. [10:38] chousuke why what happens then? [10:39] i'm here :) [10:39] angrynerd: well, it MIGHT work but I wouldn't dare try :P [10:39] angrynerd: why can't you just boot with the HD plugged in? :/ [10:40] I kinda need something that can do incremental backups over samba. [10:40] someone can help me solve my problem please, I want my usb bootable bios, but it gives me that option [10:40] I need to go, though. Sorry. [10:40] sergi: ? [10:40] TheMusicGuy: checking for clients being online can be done by a simple cron-job. hardlinks in samba.. no idea [10:40] Last time I checked was May 2009. Does the ralink rt2860 chipset supports master mode now? I mean can it be used as an AP? [10:41] I would not do it after the systems booted unless it's like Chousuke said, it's a hot swapable setup. [10:41] windows7 messed up my harddrive I cant even get to the bootmanager when the hd is plugged in [10:41] sergi: Give us a clear view [10:41] angrynerd: which boot manager? :/ [10:41] my bios does not give me the option to boot from usb, as I fix this please? [10:42] Well, you dont need the boot manager for the LiveCD, but does the drive allow you to get to the LiveCD? [10:42] no bootmanager, I mean it freezes at the bios cant boot from cd nor access the bios setup [10:42] sergi: Buy a new computer. You can't "fix" that [10:42] angrynerd: hm. [10:42] sergi: so what kind of error message you get? [10:42] when I remove the hd it works just asks for boot device [10:42] sergi: see if there is a bios upgrade available [10:42] That sounds more like a physical fault v.s. a BM fault. [10:42] sergi: other than that, not much you can do about it. [10:43] angrynerd: can't you borrow a USB case from somewhere? [10:43] Anyone got a recommendation for an SSD? How can the trim function be called from command line? Need 8-32GB [10:43] angrynerd: I mean, plugging things into a running system not designed for that is rather risky. [10:43] angrynerd: who knows how the hardware will react? [10:43] Intel MX25 SSD or the Micron SLC [10:43] hm ok I'll buy one chousuke [10:44] works great with Ubuntu :-) [10:44] how do I find out who maintains a specific package [10:44] That doesn't sound right though angrynerd .. normally if the MBR is hosed up, the CD will still fire up. [10:44] Sargun: Check the Launchpad, I believe [10:45] Sargun: nobody does [10:45] Sargun: ubuntu does not have specific people maintaining specific packages [10:45] sergi did you check new firmware for youre bios? [10:45] no error message I get just one out the possibility of hard disk, CD, floppy and USB network and does not leave [10:45] Here is the smallest one from my local dealer: http://www.netshop.no/aspx/produkt/prdinfovnet.aspx?plid=125864 [10:45] Sargun: the MOTU maintain universe & multiverse. the core devs cover everything [10:45] ke1ha: How to run the trim function? [10:46] kelha i know no one believes me but I found many ppl with the same problem asus notebook + windows 7 [10:46] Is there a package with tools? [10:46] trim ... in what excell :-) ? [10:46] ? [10:46] How to get a list of all files on my system created by package manager whose content had been changed then? [10:46] ssd trim [10:46] barf: why would you run trim manually? [10:46] I have no clue [10:46] barf: the OS should take care of that. [10:47] The problem is that you update the bios from Ubuntu, as I do? [10:47] Just getting to know how it will affect my day [10:47] Oh I don't know... not into it that far. Just used a friends box the other day that had a pair of the SLC's in it, man the thing was fast !! [10:47] update BIOS from Ubuntu? [10:47] barf: I don't think it even makes sense to command the drive directly. you'll just mess up the filesystem :/ [10:47] oki [10:48] I ordered a couple last week for another project, so will be testing over the next few weeks.

[10:51] * n00p waits patiently for a response [10:53] barf: SSDSA2M160G2XXX [10:53] n00p: have you changed eth2 settings at /etc/network/interfaces? [10:54] is it a support channel or some club chat? [10:54] OK. I have just completed full, duplicate backups onto DVD of my entire filesystem (with a few deliberate and obvious omissions). I'm about to repartition and clean install of 9.10. Obviously, the benefit of this will be lost if I then reinstall everything from DVD. [10:54] llutz: I added it to that file yes, to access my wireless which now due to my bitching mother (who doesn't pay a cent to access the internet she was bitching about not being able to access) bitching about the internet... anyway, should I remove it? [10:54] Lint01: Support channel. Offtopic chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [10:55] So, how should I organize my reinstall? And what last-minute info should I stash in USB thumb drive?

[10:56] n00p, respect your mother [10:56] Lint01: If you don't get your question solved here, try ubuntuforums.org [10:56] only the last few upgrades I've done, NIC and VID has been real good, but had a fair few issues with ALSA. [10:57] onaogh: no, I respect her, but I think she's a bitch. If she hadn't bitched about her computer not having access (when she doesn't even pay anything) then I wouldn't be bitching about my computer not having access... maybe I should just cut the internet and get a wireless chip just for this computer... she can pay for it [10:57] i have just noticed that in windows "C:\ubuntu\disks\boot\grub" directory is empty. is that wrong?

[11:16] Slart: they've promised general RGBA support for Lucid, so i think it is [11:16] unimatrix: but lucid will have the same version of gnome as karmic [11:16] maco: the panel will only do a blend between the solid background.. it won't show windows behind it and such [11:16] unimatrix: i can make the panel transparent easily on the properties>background> (compiz enabled) [11:16] _lenin_: sorry again [11:16] unimatrix: at least, i think it will... cuz lucid's not going to gnome 3 [11:16] hi [11:17] Slart: aah ok. so unimatrix wants *true* transparency [11:17] hi [11:17] erUSUL: that's not the same, it will make everything transparent, RGBA mode doesn't make the icons and text transparent, only the background [11:17] in my "wired connections" I have "Auto eth0" and "ifupdown (eth2)"... eth2 is actually wireless and it was placed there after messing around trying to get the bloody thing to work.

I just made it transparent using the ccsm.. true transparency and all =) [11:20] So is there any bearded wise man here who will rescue my broken GUI?! [11:20] Slart: it's not the same [11:20] Slart: that makes the icons&text transparent too [11:20] !details | n00p [11:20] n00p: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [11:20] One of my RAM sticks occasionally drops out at boot. It's very occasionally so it's very hard to test (I have 6 sticks). Is there some way I can show which slots are running from within Ubuntu? [11:20] unimatrix: ah.. yes.. that's true [11:20] MenZa: I've given full details. Please read more accurately. [11:20] n00p: Well, give them on one line, and have patience. [11:21] n00p: There's a massive amount of activity in here which makes it easy to lose things. :) [11:21] MenZa, I'm repeating myself word for word for you: in my "wired connections" I have "Auto eth0" and "ifupdown (eth2)"... eth2 is actually wireless and it was placed there after messing around trying to get the bloody thing to work. The "delete" button is disabled when I highlight "ifupdown"... Does anyone know how I can remove this? [11:21] unimatrix: including the properties window.. and the "Add to panel"-dialog [11:21] Oli``: maybe "sudo lshw" might help [11:21] Slart: ew [11:21] n00p: Excellent--no need to get bitey; I'm only trying to streamline communication here. :) [11:21] Slart: yes [11:21] Hello! I've got the latest Ubuntu 9.10 installed with the latest updates and Firefox 3.5.7. Whenever I try to enable the Firebug-Console, Firefox crashes. No matter what page I'm on or how many tabs are open. Any help, plese? [11:21] maco: I think -c memory will only grab memory, ftr [11:22] Slart: we don't want that, we only need the panel background to be transparent [11:22] unimatrix: yup.. I agree [11:22] hmmm... well I did first ask $uptime(mIRC,1) ago... [11:22] hmmm... well I did first ask 34mins 43secs ago... [11:22] Slart: i actually found a brainstorm for this http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/23098/ [11:23] I understand you are telling me not to be bitey for a reason [11:23] and I hate to seem impatient [11:23] Slart: aaand... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/441727 [11:23] but I feel as though I'm getting -nowhere- by being here [11:23] n00p: Oh? Try the forums, might be more helpful [11:23] I want to put the ubuntu installer on a memory stick and make it bootable [11:23] Slart, maco, erUSUL go to that bug and click "It affects me" [11:23] how do i set the username and passord on vsftpd so people can log into it? [11:23] unimatrix: will do [11:23] barf: Told ya, use unetbootin. [11:24] barf, try unetbootin then [11:24] hello [11:24] maco: It does show the ram but it shows all 12GB present and correct. free (et al) think there's only 10gigs suggesting one is missing/faulty [11:24] n00p: Have patience. Someone will come around; perhaps check the forums while you wait? [11:25] But it appears to require GUI? http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/#other [11:25] oli``` I checked /proc/meminfo .. looks like it lumps it all together as well. [11:26] bazhang: theadmin: But it appears to require GUI? http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/#other [11:27] Isn’t there just a bootsector file anywhere? [11:27] barf, correct; you never specified otherwise [11:27] barf: Oh, you want a no-gui solution... sorry [11:27] I have Mac GUI and ubuntu/debian terminal available [11:27] you may find this usefull oli```: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/4681 [11:28] Anyone having troubles with Mumble + Wine?

[12:18] filip89: do you remember which update that might have been [12:18] hey guys little issue stepmania src is moaning i dont have liblua installed althought i have install lua50 package why is it say it does not excist [12:18] yes.. update from 7.2. [12:18] Myrtti, opinions on top5 httpd servers [12:18] hello [12:19] !best > skydrome [12:19] skydrome, please see my private message [12:19] hello [12:19] unimatrix from kernel 2.6.28-11-generic [12:19] teffers|Brew: stepmania won't build since Ubuntu 8.10 [12:19] sry [12:19] hello [12:19] !or you can tell me [12:19] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [12:19] teffers|Brew: install it from playdeb [12:19] unimatrix: from kernel 2.6.28-17-generic to kernel 2.6.28-18-generic [12:19] playdeb [12:19] hello [12:19] is there anybody [12:19] skydrome: we don't really do polls here, and it's a matter of opinion anyway [12:19] farizluqman: yes [12:19] nope after the bios boots, it say's grub loading.... and tries to boot linux reguardless if i hit any keys after the bios [12:19] errr gg [12:20] farizluqman: do you have a ubuntu support question? [12:20] playdeb/// [12:20] hi [12:20] playdeb///???* [12:20] unimatrix: this audo problem's been happening for a while now, base build works, you do the dist-upg and it breaks alsa somehow, but not for all cards. [12:20] yes [12:20] unimatrix: but i tried compiled new alsa according that manual which i sent you for this kernel 2.6.28-18-generic and also for this one 2.6.28-16-generic [12:20] a very simple question [12:20] teffers|Brew: http://www.playdeb.net [12:20] how can I loggin as root? [12:20] unimatrix: it seems that is a really big problem, because my sound stop working also at win [12:20] farizluqman: you don't. [12:21] !rootsudo | farizluqman [12:21] farizluqman: sudo is a command to run command-line ( see !cli ) programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [12:21] farizluqman: gksu [12:21] filip89: in windows too? [12:21] yep [12:21] filip89: then it's quite possible a hardware issue [12:21] !my | farizluqman, also you might want to check out your local Ubuntu people [12:21] farizluqman, also you might want to check out your local Ubuntu people: bantuan bahasa melayu? sila join #ubuntu-my [12:21] I know the sudo command, but I want to log in as root, to access the / files [12:22] farizluqman: Why? [12:22] farizluqman: use sudo/gksudo for that [12:22] farizluqman: you don't need to log in as root [12:22] farizluqman: sudo su [12:22] farizluqman: As Myrtti says, all can be done with sudo. [12:22] anyone here who knows about manually upgradeable? [12:22] stepmanika isnt on p[laydeb [12:22] unimatrix: i tried install driver for win, installation was successful but no sound again, it shows, like i do not have a sound card [12:22] unimatrix: please don't recommend that :-( [12:23] Myrtti: well sometimes it's necessary [12:23] Myrtti: That's very, very bad practice. [12:23] er, unimatrix* [12:23] unimatrix: No, it's not. [12:23] unimatrix: ok.. my sound was working for several years how can installation of kernel destroyed my hw? [12:23] sudo.. but I'm not a professional in terminal things, I like to login as root [12:23] unimatrix: It's never necessary. [12:23] MenZa: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:23] I do sudo su all the time so what [12:23] farizluqman: What are you trying to do? [12:23] !rootsudo | extor [12:23] MenZa: from my own experience i can tell you that it is [12:23] extor: sudo is a command to run command-line ( see !cli ) programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [12:23] I had to use OSS until upg to 2.6.31-19 was released to fix my ICH7 issues. [12:23] logged in as others did [12:23] filip89: you should probably contact your sound card vendor about that [12:23] How To? [12:23] Yeah so I don't want to type sudo before each command hence sudo su [12:23] even after successful compilaion , i am unable to execute the generated onject code using Anjutu ..help me [12:24] farizluqman: You're not making what sense. [12:24] extor: Heard of sudo -i? [12:24] extor: you don't need to suggest it to people here, though [12:24] Nope [12:24] hi there, after installing latest kernel update in Karmic scrolling in Gnome lead to flickering screen. Anyone can confirm? Changing back to 2.6.31-17 fixed the issue for me. Am using Nvidia. [12:24] !wfm | extor, unimatrix [12:24] extor, unimatrix: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ [12:24] extor: Well, there you go. Have a look at the manpgage for the -i flag. [12:24] stepmanika isnt on p[laydeb [12:24] unimatrix, i cant find stepmania on playdeb [12:24] sudo su dangers are overrated especially in comparison to the main user being sudo capable [12:25] What's a good, free newsreader for ubuntu ? [12:25] i get a message is not a local file [12:25] teffers|Brew: lol, really? http://www.playdeb.net/updates/ubuntu/9.10/?q=stepmania [12:25] I mean if you want security then dont HAVE the default user able to sudo [12:25] no, I want to login to root, with my password root, in the legon screen, but he says "Root cannot login in this screen" or something similar [12:25] Yos: By 'newsreader' do you mean newgroups, RSS feeds? [12:25] farizluqman: You should never, ever, ever, EVER log into an X session as root. EVER. EVER EVER EVER. [12:25] NEVER. [12:25] MenZa: Yes, for newsgroups [12:25] not seeing that here Mike_B [12:25] farizluqman: that's because you should never login as root, unless you want do break something... is that your intention? [12:25] Yos: Evolution is a good option. It's installed by default. [12:26] hmm.. could be laptop-related then. [12:26] farizluqman: oh, you've enabled root account? Good luck. [12:26] MenZa: Evolution can be use to download files from newsgroups ? [12:26] ok..ok...ok.... I'll learn Sude [12:26] sudo [12:26] Yos: Should be able to, yes. [12:26] farizluqman: if there'd be a sticker on Ubuntu installation that says "damaging will void warranty" enabling root account would be that [12:27] Iv'e not had it on log, and it's an older NV embedded GPU. Dont have it on my GTX-280 box. [12:27] ooh.... logging in to root will void the warranty.... ok [12:27] oops, not had it on long. [12:27] farizluqman: Well, that's the best way to describe it. We can't support that method. [12:28] Is there any "copy" command? and a "paste" command [12:28] farizluqman, cp [12:28] farizluqman: cp [12:28] cp & mv [12:29] farizluqman, and mv file1 file2 will rename file 1 as file2 [12:29] farizluqman, cp file1 file2 copies from 1 to 2 and to copy folders do cp -a [12:29] cp -r i think [12:29] mv doe moving to diff dir's, cp or cat to move between files. [12:30] unimatrix: i found also one guy who has similar problem after update to a new kernel [12:30] ooo ok, if i want to copy a file, I will type "sudo cp /something(source) /mylocation" [12:30] rrr [12:30] something like that [12:30] or mv it from one dir to another [12:30] <<<< noob [12:30] cp does just that, makes a copy. [12:31] filip89: well it does happen, but if it's also a problem in windows, that usually indicates that it's not a linux problem [12:31] farizluqman: would you mind me asking what files are you copying to other locations? [12:31] how to enable more network interfaces to monitor in the sysmon-panel-plugin? [12:32] Yeah, if it takes sudo to do it, could cause other issues :-) [12:32] ok "sudo cp /home/fariz/oxygenicon /usr/share/icons" [12:32] unimatrix: could kernel update destroyed hw? [12:32] its a icon theme [12:32] filip89: no [12:33] hm... [12:33] farizluqman: Do cp -R ~/oxygenicon ~/.icons [12:33] mmyrtti: "sudo cp /home/fariz/oxygenicon /usr/share/icons" [12:33] farizluqman: you can install those without sudo or root access [12:33] my ubuntu 9.10 is rebooting on its on sometimes.does anybody know the reason why??? [12:33] farizluqman: just like MenZa said [12:34] yeah, already in sudo now [12:34] Oyoz: not without more details [12:34] @find twist and shout [12:34] done [12:34] Hello , i installed Ubuntu 9.10 on my laptop and its seems to have some problem with the internal speaker . when i plug in my headphones Ubuntu not disable the internal speaker ? [12:34] thats easy [12:35] sysmon-panel-plugin: how to change the network interface to monitor [12:35] it just reboots when am brousing the net [12:35] thanks [12:36] what kernel ? Oyoz ? [12:36] wpa_supplicant sends error messages to stderr, where can I locate those messages? [12:36] ke1ha: kernel is the filesystem of linux [12:36] yeah... good guess. but need a number? [12:36] farizluqman: Er, not exactly. [12:37] hahahaha... just a guest [12:37] 2.6.31-19-generic [12:37] whats the exactly [12:37] does ubuntu store writes to stderr anywhere special? [12:37] !kernel | farizluqman [12:37] farizluqman: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [12:37] I see, i'm using 2.5.6 [12:37] Hi there, I'd like to install an old kernel (2.6.24) under karmic. Can anyone give me a hint where i can get the appropriate package, please? [12:37] is it obsolete>>> 2.5.6 [12:38] sysmon-panel-plugin: how to change the network interface to monitor? [12:38] is there a way to save everything of a terminal, commands and output, to a file? [12:38] Hmm.. im on the same one, I had that a couple days ago, before the last round of updates and it's gone away. [12:38] hey guys... I have had this issue for the last few versions of ubuntu...systray...system clock etc switch positions on reboot ...clock always seems to want to be first before systray ...any solutions? yes I have "Lock to panel" enalbed however enabled or disabled the same thing occurs [12:38] Kernel i got here -> 2.6.31-19-generic [12:38] whats Karmic? (how can I stop asking silly questions, I'm interested in Ubuntu) [12:39] also this is dual monitor set up [12:39] wpa_supplicant is returning 1 and writing errors to stderr when I try to ifup eth2. Where can I obtain these error messages? [12:39] !karmic | farizluqman [12:39] farizluqman: Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) is the current release of Ubuntu. Download: http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.10/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/910 [12:39] Kinda like Karma, with an ic stuck on the end :-) [12:39] is there a way to save everything of a terminal, commands and output, to a file? - anyone? [12:39] oooh... I see... [12:39] my system will crash is having it [12:40] farizluqman: Huh? [12:40] rweng: typescript command i seen to recall can save all in/out of a session [12:40] commands are ion your .history already .. and if you want to output a commands results, just >tosomefile.txt [12:40] I'd like to learn how to set up my network-manager-gnome. I've set it to manage devices in /etc/network/interfaces and added my interfaces, added a pre-up to eth0 to make sure it's the correct duplex... but the wireless returns 1 and I need to know what's going on. The script should be writing an error message to stderr, how do I view this message? [12:41] if I install Karmic, my system will sure crash, its look so beautiful and nor for the 450MHz pc, for sure [12:41] rweng: at least i recall using that years ago. [12:41] How to get a list of all files on my system created by package manager whose content had been changed then? [12:41] farizluqman, can you not install something like xubuntu or one that uses less resource hungary applications [12:42] rweng: ahh - the command is 'script' it records everything in a session to a file of the type 'typescript' you can then reread later [12:42] there are also alternate installers, for low power (older) systems [12:42] I'd like to learn how to set up my network-manager-gnome. I've set it to manage devices in /etc/network/interfaces and added my interfaces, added a pre-up to eth0 to make sure it's the correct duplex... but the wireless returns 1 (and according to the preup script that could mean any number of errors) and I need to know what's going on. The script should be writing an error message to stderr, how do I view this message? [12:42] hi all [12:43] Lint01: compare file-md5sums with those of /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.md5sums [12:43] zleap: I'm using ubuntu 8.1 kernel 2.5.6... [12:44] farizluqman: so you are using a version of ubuntu thats almost 2 years old. [12:44] Dr_Willis: It's still supported until April. [12:44] sysmon-panel-plugin: how to change the network interface to monitor? [12:44] Wait, that's just the server I think. [12:44] 2 years old Ubuntu for 10 years old laptop, should be very ok [12:44] if it's not bork'en dont break it :-) [12:44] MenZa: yep.. if that really means anything to anyone. :) [12:44] farizluqman: just because its older. dosent really mean its 'better' for a low end system [12:45] farizluqman: there are disrtros out there with a focus on low end/old systems [12:45] I'm looking for that [12:45] (but not fedora) [12:45] i dont get teh point of non LTS releases , everyone upgrades to the next anyway [12:46] if you do a poll on the forums, everyone will have 9.10 for sure [12:46] -1 :) [12:46] indus: LTS is great for servers [12:46] unimatrix, yes iam talking of non LTS [12:47] unimatrix, its useless really [12:47] How can i get games work better on my ubuntu 9.10? Like quakelive i have 60fps wtf? how can i take vsync off there is no option for that nvidia control panel. [12:47] LTS is great on my laptop too [12:47] unimatrix, i mean the support for beyond 6 months is useless i said [12:47] indus: 9.1 is it compatible for Intel 450 Mhz? [12:47] ping [12:47] farizluqman, 450 mhz? === wet-chan is now known as wet [12:47] indus: yes, 10 years [12:47] farizluqman, no atleast 500 mhz i believe [12:48] I only have one box that does not have a -server install on it. [12:48] anyone here using pidgin from the getdeb repos? [12:48] farizluqman, do you have a system around 9 years old ?:) [12:48] indus: no, its CELERON 450MHz [12:48] indus: yes [12:48] farizluqman, hmm, try xubuntu i suggest [12:48] And i have 64bit ubuntu 9.10 btw. [12:48] well, 9yrs old, that's a stretch, but this dell acts like it's 9yrs old :-) [12:48] farizluqman, but actually, the 450 mhz will work if you have enough ram [12:49] zilkomaa, vsync should be used from the in game controls [12:49] indus: have enough ram though, I have 256 [12:49] ive installed ubuntu on a Pent 1 - 100mhz befor.. took a few hrs.. but it ran. :) [12:49] 256MB [12:49] ram is never enough [12:49] farizluqman, should work, but i suggest using 8.04 [12:49] Dr_Willis: go, look for a hobby :) [12:49] indus: XUBUNTU 8.04? [12:49] farizluqman, yes [12:49] indus: Ok... [12:49] farizluqman, is your best option, but ubuntu also should work but very slow [12:50] farizluqman, xubuntu is nice :) and light and fast [12:50] 8.04 is pretty robust after the dist-upg. [12:50] farizluqman: you could always use just a window manager... that will bne lighter and faster. the xubuntu even. but more limited === Guest91713 is now known as MikeR [12:50] indus: its using XFCE as default DWM? === MikeR is now known as Hapsbanan [12:50] indus: xfce is not exactly 'light' [12:50] farizluqman, use [12:50] farizluqman, yes i mean [12:50] xfce uses the xfwm window manager [12:51] Lint01, not interested in the tech aspects, but yes it runs nice on older systems [12:51] indus: its a lightweight dwm, sure it will use fewer res [12:51] Lint01, you suggest some other ? [12:51] Lint01, flux? [12:51] farizluqman: you might want to check out the lubuntu-desktop its supposed to be about as light as one can get. but its not got its own cd/disrto yet. You install some ubuntu, then install the lubuntu-desktop package [12:51] indus: I will wipe my ubuntu from my 8GB hd [12:51] indus: lxde might be an alternative [12:51] hmm [12:52] 8gb. :) egads [12:52] ok farizluqman see others are suggesting more options , so do try them [12:52] Tiny Core Linux, Puppy Linux, other Uber-weird-mini linux's [12:52] llutz, isnt that lxde thing called lubuntu? [12:52] indus: is it? no idea [12:52] !info lubuntu-desktop [12:52] lubuntu-desktop (source: lubuntu-meta): Lubuntu Desktop environment. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 0.7.1 (karmic), package size 3 kB, installed size 32 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 powerpc ia64 sparc lpia armel) [12:52] DSL is real light also. [12:53] Dr_Willis, aah no puppy changes the apps so no good [12:53] I've used damn small linux.... and WOW!! but not presistent [12:53] but this is Ubuntu, so I'd say FLux on 8.04 [12:53] save changes [12:53] why i suggest xubuntu is , most of the stuff is like gnome except no open office i believe [12:53] farizluqman: you can set that up if you wanted to [12:53] this channel really... well... what do you think may be causing this command to error? /sbin/wpa_supplicant -s -B -P /var/run/wpa_supplicant.eth2.pid -i eth2 -D wext -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -C /var/run/wpa_supplicant [12:53] today I resumed my machine from S2RAM and now, whenever I'm trying to play audio, the player (e.g., rhythmbox) just blocks. Any idea how to fix this? I tried restarting pulseaudio and alsa but it wouldn't help. [12:53] so not a drastic change from managing an OS [12:53] FreeDos! [12:54] !lubuntu [12:54] ah, no lubuntu-desktop in jaunty. that is why i never heard of it [12:54] lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu [12:54] llutz, see ? [12:54] indus: yes [12:54] indus: abiword is small but a big eating system res [12:54] Lubuntu does some things a little.. weirdly [12:54] farizluqman: its not big.. your pc is just old... :) [12:54] farizluqman, no not true at all. i use it, its awesome and opens in half a sec [12:55] indus: i only use lxde with squeeze [12:55] llutz, ok what is that? [12:55] indus: debian testing [12:55] dr_willis: yes, if I'm rich I have bough one now [12:55] okie [12:55] abiword is buggy as hell, i would avoid it [12:55] i am planning to move to kde [12:55] farizluqman: thers rich then theres stingy... [12:55] i can only puke so many times in a year :D [12:55] me likes KDE since 0.6.xx [12:55] Lint01, i think newer versions are ok [12:56] Good luck with that move. [12:56] and I'll never install Windows [12:56] The kde4 beta ive been testing has had some neat features I will admit [12:56] Lint01, but really havent followed its development much [12:56] what is the full form of IRC? [12:56] internet relay chat [12:56] ok you are hired :P [12:57] Dr_Willis: every DE has its pro and cons, at least you will get a usable system with all of them [12:57] You guys are using IRC? me XChat [12:57] farizluqman, so go and install lubuntu maybe or try xubuntu [12:57] llutz: I hear that twm is getting updated :) [12:57] farizluqman, irc is a protocol, xchat is a client using it [12:57] Dr_Willis: whow, must have [12:58] !ot| farizluqman [12:58] farizluqman: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [12:58] llutz: i think its gettting compositing support even [12:58] yes all are off topic now [12:58] farizluqman: xchat is an IRC client [12:58] oooo......

[12:59] farizluqman, dont you have to install somethings? why are you still here? :) [12:59] llutz: no idea. but i noticed some of the vncserver packages still used to default to 'twm' but dident have twm as a dependency [12:59] ubottu: I already know [12:59] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [12:59] Rush3d: you mean DOS batch files? [12:59] Rush3d: dosemu [12:59] Dr_willis: Yes [12:59] ubottu: And, I also know that [12:59] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [12:59] Rush3d: theres dos emulators out. doxbox and a few others [12:59] err dosbox now [12:59] indus: I'm downloading XUBUNTU... [12:59] Ok, because im a java coder, and .bat files are the way to run java code [13:00] Rush3d: you are confused I think [13:00] Rush3d: java -jar whatever.jar [13:00] I am? [13:00] farizluqman, ok good luck [13:00] Rush3d: sh ./file.bat ? [13:00] Rush3d: just make a script to run your code, chmod +x it and you have a "batch" file [13:00] Rush3d: whats your .bat file doing anyway? [13:00] How to use GAS(GNU assembler)? [13:00] Rush3d: You are making a 'script' thats saveing you some typing [13:00] Dr_willis: It opens a jar file, so I dont have to jar all my codes every time I edit. [13:01] Rush3d: You are not going to run 'dos' batch files in dosbox to launch java programs [13:01] Dr, I use C++ its basically based of a MMORPG game. [13:01] I need help with GAS pls === Mowee is now known as Mowee`Bnc [13:01] Give me one second, Ill give you one of my bat files on pastebin. [13:02] where is the file containing the network setup?

[13:24] ziago: thanks for the chan [13:24] indus: Because we generally only isntall 1 package for a task by default, and empathy was chosen instead. [13:24] is there a command to convert a rpm installation file to a deb file? I'm running out of ideas and google does not help me with this... [13:24] !alien | newguest [13:24] newguest: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [13:24] !rpm | newguest [13:25] newguest, you will need to install alien I believe [13:25] guess not. Thanks anyway though. [13:25] Pici, no , for irc xchat is better isnt it [13:25] newguest, http://embraceubuntu.com/2005/09/23/installing-using-an-rpm-file/ [13:25] Pici, and irc is so important in the linux world [13:25] darthsitius, Avidemux [13:25] Pici, iam sure they will add it someday soon, [13:26] mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /crap && mv grind /crap/ && umount -f /crap [13:26] mawst, k ill chk it out [13:26] newguest, I am not sure it is always successful however what pacakge are you trying toconvert??? [13:27] newguest, the package you are trying to convert may already be in deb format [13:27] n00p, so you have a problem with pulseaudio? [13:27] erUSUL, I've tried sudo dpkg -i fullfilename and it, again, broken at the end. Then I've tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure 3dxware but it tells me that that package is not installed. [13:27] darthsitius, and if you need to make video files int o dvds, DeVeDe [13:27] no indus [13:27] oh wireless [13:28] mawst: cool thx a lot [13:28] yes indus [13:28] coz_, if your running an operating system with support for ONE format, it means that you should be able to convert and run as the native format [13:28] glid what was your problem? [13:28] not installed by default = the cd can only hold so much :) [13:28] why windows is still better then linux? [13:28] i have problem also with my sound [13:28] but... i cannot hear any sound.. [13:28] coz_, perhaps there is some library that just works. [13:28] newguest, understood however the pacakge you are trying to convert may already be in deb format ...what is the pacakge [13:28] dariorossini: take it to #ubuntu-offtopic [13:29] filip89: My sound is broken also =) [13:29] newguest, no library alone that I know of you will need to use alien to convert the package [13:29] Ziago: mine is after update to new kernel, and yours? [13:29] Nope. [13:29] Not interested in installing a newer kernel. [13:29] do sftp connections show up as a login under lastlog ?

[13:36] llutz, trying to change the rights atm [13:36] coz_, I understand when you say there is no support to the software alien itself. however, what's your point when you say it's not safe? what do you mean, is it that dangerous because....? [13:36] llutz, didnt work.. it still gives me: Could not load the settings file '/home/knoxville/.VirtualBox/VirtualBox.xml'. [13:36] Cannot convert settings from version '1.9-linux'. [13:36] The source version is not supported. [13:36] knxville: why don't you provide us with the info needed to help? [13:37] newguest: it could break your system [13:37] knxville: yeah, just paste the output [13:37] are monitor drivers a common problem? [13:37] dbluefield: cant say that ive ever used monitor drivers at all in linux. [13:38] newguest, I didnt say it wasnt safe or dangerous I am saying that the pacakge you want to convert from rpm to deb may already be in deb format [13:38] dbluefield: my dvi connections alway work fine for me [13:38] newguest, I cant guarantee that conversion with alien will work but it is there if you want to use it instead of searching for the pacakge in deb format [13:39] well my DVI worked for a little while - then I tried a different visual effect setting - and Kabloooey - not digital output [13:39] its an old ATI radeon graphics card 7200 [13:39] what's the latest kernel for 9.10? [13:40] I'm pretty amazed I got the dual boot thing to work --which is cool [13:40] what is ubuntu repository url? [13:40] newguest, I have been with ubuntu from the beginning.. I have converted rpm package to deb and some work some dont... I prefer to find the pacakge in deb format.. and even then.,.. if it is not supported on ubuntu or created for ubuntu there is always a change it will not work or worse screw things up [13:41] knxville: recreate your VMs with the new version [13:41] newguest, I am not saying don't experiment ...

So I have to reinstall 8 Operating Systems? :) [13:42] knxville: why? the images are fine, just the seting-files have to be recreated [13:42] llutz, so I can delete the VirtualBox.xml file and it will create a new one? [13:43] knxville: but maybe ask at #vbox, the might have a better solution [13:43] keep a backup jic [13:43] knxville: try with renameing that file 1st [13:43] llutz, thanks alot [13:43] If dual booting, install Windows first, then Ubuntu? [13:44] KaiForce: makes it easier, yes [13:44] hi llutz hope you are well [13:44] thought so. Thanks llutz [13:44] thats what I did -- I guess sound and picture problems are normal?

[16:02] zer0her0: there is some form of power management, but yes it is limited because apple does not release specs.

[16:41] evantandersen_: ooops. seems like indeed it runs the command even with the single quotes [16:42] I rented a DVD & don't have time to watch it. What's the best app to rip it so I can watch it later? [16:42] evantandersen_: sorry [16:42] Good morning, I have a question about sudo (I know, not technically ubuntu) - I have mailto set, and mail_always, but I want to exclude one user (a system account that runs some md5s on some directories) - thoughts on how that'd be accomplished? [16:42] fohos_: are you talking about webmin? thats not supported/recommened on ubuntu any more [16:42] if I run the script through the command line manually, (./RFID-login) it works perfectly and produces the desired result... however when pam goes to auth it instantly returns positive! right now anyone can obtain root login on my copmp! [16:43] plunked: yes it is; although you can check your system with: sysctl kernel.randomize_va_space [16:43] how to make vlc to open streams by default? [16:43] Some problem happened on update... It shows "Unable to authenticate some packages. This may be due to a network problem. You can try again later. Below is a list of unauthenticated packages." What should I do? [16:43] alazyworkaholic, copy the data, you can see it some other day [16:43] plunked: 2 is with heap randomization, 1 is without, 0 is off [16:43] alazyworkaholic, watch it [16:43] Hi I did the install of an ubuntu server but i've to go in recorvery mode and what is the root default password ? [16:43] guntbert, it's not recommended? Why? [16:44] trism: ah i see, thank you :) [16:44] !webmin | gerry__ [16:44] gerry__: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [16:44] alazyworkaholic: handbrake.fr [16:44] guntbert, cheers :) [16:44] Never get the bright idea to rsync your 1TB of video files from one USB drive to another on the same bus. Take it from me. [16:45] gerry__: you're welcome :-) but be aware that ebox might not be what you expect as webmin substitute [16:45] !noroot | philien1 [16:45] philien1: We do not support having a root password set. See !root and !wfm for more information. [16:45] evantandersen_: what happens if you add a "auth requisite pam_deny.so" to common-auth? [16:45] philien1: #ubuntu-server exists by the way [16:45] !ebox [16:45] ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox [16:45] sipior: i have that in my file... sorry I only pasted part of my common_auth file. That line is about two lines down in the file [16:46] evantandersen_: how about posting the whole thing? that will save us all a great deal of wasted time. [16:46] philien1: you don't need a root password - sudo/gksudo gives you all access you need [16:47] Does anybody have any suggestions for changing environment variables inherited from gnome-session while gnome is running? === vaidas is now known as vaidasz === sebsebseb is now known as ksebksebkseb [16:49] sipior: sorry, I'm not at my ubuntu machine right now. However, the entire file is defaults, I just added that line before the standard one. the only lines I changed are the ones I posted on the forums [16:50] I already have ubuntu up and running. Is there a way to encrypt a partition that I have on a second hard drive or must I encrypt the entire hard drive and all partitions on it? [16:51] sipor: I understand it is weird asking for support when I am not at my computer, however It has been difficult to find anyone that even understands this stuff. Thanks for your time so far [16:51] I have commented out GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT, yet GRUB doesn't show at start up, why? [16:51] do you have the timeout set to 0 seconds? [16:52] evantandersen_: you might try getting rid of try_first_pass, at least for testing, and add an "audit" flag to pam_unix.so/ [16:52] evantandersen_, no, 10 seconds [16:52] sipor: thanks i'll try that when I get home...

[16:54] Is it possible to virtualize XP in Ubuntu at startup, as a service rather than an app in X? [16:56] After looking around the Internet for grub on floppy, I decided I'll try another approach first. If I put the old HDD in a newer computer, install Xubuntu on it, then put it back in the old computer, will that have any problems? Is anything special installed during installation that is computer-dependent? drivers or anything? [16:56] emghazal: should no have mayor problems [16:56] emghazal - you should be fine [16:57] Okay, thanks. [16:57] ethernet might not work but you can config your kernel [16:57] FoolsRun, are you using virtualbox?

[17:01] ZykoticK9, well you didnt mention anything about shutting down :), yea you have to do it manually [17:02] ZykoticK9, but i rarely restart my VM server [17:02] usser, there have been various scripts that I've tried but nothing "totally" worked [17:02] usser, my VM server is my desktop [17:03] I'm just running XP to run Office to run an obsolete calendar connector app, shutting down cleanly is not a concern ;) [17:03] G'day partypeople!

All other windows are normal [17:37] i have a nvidia mx440 and it will not work corectly with ubuntu 97 drivers its stuck on a small resolution and can not be changed [17:37] ekim1: or find the local linux group. I bet they have an install fest. [17:37] Thanks everyone for help :D [17:37] lesshaste, ctrl + [17:37] steve_ wow those go way back [17:37] steve_ you may need to add a resolution line in xorg.conf [17:38] xfact: Debian package should be available, No chance for missing. [17:38] reesefrancis: ah yes :) thanks! [17:38] `mOOse`, I like gThumb [17:38] i have tryed but its not playing [17:38] xfact , Then you need to config it too run sensor-detect hop it finds lot of temps [17:38] steve_ I think I may have one laying around [17:38] <`mOOse`> gerry__: thanks - I'll check it out [17:38] steve_ install nvidia-settings, that should allowyou to make modifications easily [17:38] cfedde, I tried that awhile ago but they are all pretty efficient at it and seems like I was kinda ignored as I didnt know nothing. [17:38] later folks [17:39] `mOOse`, yw [17:39] is there any support for multi gesture touchpads? [17:39] kaiforce any help would be mega apprciated as i have litrly try evryint [17:39] sudobash: any idea how many kwh to run an xbox a month?

[17:41] WOW,configuring it is complicated :( [17:41] I have accessed a CD drive on another computer and have it mounted as a directory on my machine. It's an audio CD that I'd like to listen to. However, all the files show up as .cda files. Is there anyway I could make my box treat it as a CD drive and thus interpret the .cda files correctly? [17:41] in which language linux is written?? [17:41] steve_ paste your /etc/X11/xorg.conf in pastebin [17:42] C/C++/Assembly I believe candy [17:42] `mOOse`, glad you like it. I used to use on windows Irfan before switching to XnView. I really wish that still supported. [17:42] candy: c and asm [17:42] sudobash: no c++ [17:42] candy: mostly C, linux is the kernel... gnu is most of the rest [17:42] ahh no c++ how come? [17:42] iceroot, what is asm?? [17:42] assembly [17:42] candy: assembler [17:42] machine code [17:42] candy: the kernel in C + assembly [17:42] Hi! After switching to Gentoo from Ubuntu, I feel as if I'm a free bird. I want your opinion on this. [17:42] candy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_kernel that should help. Says it's in a version of C supported by GCC [17:42] sudobash: no need for c++ in a kernel /hardware-near program [17:43] well, now how to run lm-sensors? [17:43] !ot > KERN_INFO [17:43] KERN_INFO, please see my private message [17:43] KERN_INFO yes you are a free bird [17:43] !sensors | xfact [17:43] xfact: To access CPU temperature sensors and detect fan speeds, install the lm-sensors package.

[17:44] yeah I think you may need a resolution line in there holf on [17:44] hold on [17:44] but i have forced the wrong drivers at the minuet so that i can default a good resolution [17:44] sofiankrt: export the cd via samba ? nfs? [17:44] do you want me to set the 97 drivers ? [17:44] well the resolution line has to be perfect or it probably wont work [17:44] hiii [17:44] KaiForce, please explain [17:44] 96 you mean? [17:45] erUSUL: what I basically have is a remote directory I can access via samba full of .cda files that I'm not sure what I should do with [17:45] anyone know what this means E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [17:45] yes sorry [17:45] 96 [17:45] yeah set 96 drivers and uninstall anything else [17:45] i will be back in a minuet [17:45] KERN_INFO, ask your same question in #ubuntu-offtopic - this is the support channel [17:45] hey jst installed ubuntu 9.04 inside windows in my hp pavillion laptop but getin no sound [17:45] i am not getting sound in ubuntu. can u help me? [17:45] sofiankrt: cda are similar to wav. you can convert them easily to mp3 or burn them again in a cdrom [17:45] plz help [17:45] ok [17:45] sofiankrt: is an audiocd that's why it is full of cda files [17:46] erUSUL: what kind of application should I use to play them? [17:46] sofiankrt: any player should be able to play them but never tried myself [17:46] xfact , I also installed lm-sensor , But it only find coretemp I was hoping for more wood bi nice to have disktemp , and vgatemp too [17:46] sofiankrt: as i said it is just wav with a different header [17:46] i need to start testing upgrades from 804 to new lts that has not been officially released. Is there a way to get my hands on lucid yet? [17:47] new lts is Lucid right? [17:47] !lucid | grendal_prime [17:47] grendal_prime: Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 2010 - Lucid is NOT released and is NOT stable - Discussion and support only in #ubuntu+1 [17:47] grendal_prime: #ubuntu+1 [17:47] capron, sensor-applet show those [17:47] grendal_prime: lucid has no feature-freeze so its useless to test upgrading [17:47] where is a good place to ask questions about c programming using glip, gtk, clutter (I was told #c, but when I tried to join it told me I needed to be invited), so where now? [17:47] *glib [17:47] erUSUL: I tried that, but the problem is, the cda files (according to what I read) are basically files that indicate where on a CD the song is, rather than encoding the song itself. Each file is about 44 bytes in size. So what I thought was, maybe I should try to get my machine to treat this remote directory as a local CD drive, but I have no idea how to go about doing it [17:48] Hi all [17:48] how do i change the video settings in one kernel from another? the kernel i'm on now works fine, but when i try a newer one it bombs on a radeon driver which it shouldn't be loading [17:48] xfact thanks I will try that [17:48] i installed ubuntu 9.04 in my system but i am not getting sound in ubuntu. can you help me?

[17:56] what's the script i'm looking for? [17:57] sartan: fine, ask the pixies for help then. [17:57] Mytti: deactive using # as prefix [17:57] I don't want to be rude, but linux channels often have a habit of twisting a question around in such an irrelevant way. [17:57] sartan: if you use apt-get/dpkg to delete them then their post-uninstall scripts will remove them from the appropriate bootloaders. [17:57] sartan: grub-update or something [17:57] sartan: sudo update-grub [17:57] Answer the question and don't invent a new problem that doesn't exist [17:57] or that [17:57] sartan: had you removed the kernel with a package manager like aptitude, apt-get or synaptic, the script updating the grub would have been run [17:57] Thanks! update-grub it is [17:57] wrong way round, my bad [17:57] !sound > riku_ [17:57] riku_, please see my private message [17:57] lol how do i open the xorg with root permisions ?

[18:13] ZykoticK9, so having those, mov should play? with video? [18:13] and whenever I select manual in the method menu the apply button gets grayed out [18:13] !lucid > sudobash_ [18:13] sudobash_, please see my private message [18:13] dr-nicto: that means the driver you are using those not support 3d [18:13] dr-nicto: try renaming xorg.conf and let X autodetect your stuff... the message you get means that glx is not enabled for your card [18:13] sudobash_: next release of ubuntu [18:14] ZykoticK9, it is from my digital camera, automatically gives me those files. [18:14] so its not stable yet? [18:14] i have a folder that is owned by "root" how can i change ownership to another user?

[18:14] ZykoticK9, right, I have been using Linux for years, and never ran into mov files, got a new camera, and never even thought about the video format it produced. [18:14] So I was thinking... since GIMP is being dropped from Lucid, we need a new simple graphics editing program. Pinta seems to meet all the requirements quite nicely: http://pinta-project.com/ [18:15] thanks ill check that [18:15] shane2peru, in a terminal if you run "mplayer $FILE_FOO.MOV" does the ouput in the terminal (re-video) suggest what could be wrong? could you pastebin that output? [18:15] (the howto describing the way to set it by terminal commands) [18:15] gimp is being dropped what>? [18:15] aliendude3500: sudo apt-get install gimp finish [18:15] sudobash_: from default install still aviable in main [18:15] aliendude3500, sudobash_ Gimp just isn't in the default install... you can still install it [18:15] sby_a.Yani_coBi20 [18:16] why that seems like a waste of time? [18:16] iceroot, ZykoticK9, I mean as somethign included in the default install for new users to play with. [18:16] aliendude3500, sudobash_ actually currently it's still there (in Alpha 2) [18:16] ZykoticK9, good thought, I didn't think of checking mplayer's output: http://www.ubuntu.pastebin.com/m23a6b59a [18:16] s [18:16] ZykoticK9: because its no feature freeze, just a sync from sid [18:17] erUSUL, /media/AVCHD/JWedding/BDMV [18:17] ugh, I babble too much and lose the attention of anyone able to help me don't I?

[18:18] iceroot, the whole thing [18:19] I try to install python setup tools [18:19] ZykoticK9, yes [18:19] spekko: just install antoher distri or windows on the hdd, there is no uninstall [18:19] insecure.org still has good info not just for nmap === Mocha is now known as Newbuntu [18:19] shane2peru, if you try "mplayer -vo x11 P1000327.MOV" does anything change? === Newbuntu is now known as ATravis [18:19] sry, i didn't know chat put me here at once ^^ bye [18:20] iceroot, no, i mean i have ubuntu, then i downloaded kubuntu "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" or whatever. now i wana uninstall kubuntu desktop and leave only ubuntu. [18:20] ZykoticK9, that fixed it!, that is odd, is my mplayer not right [18:20] ZykoticK9, or is my x broken? :) [18:20] spekko: and i asked, just kde or the whole distri [18:20] sudobash_: well, i'm drawing the logical map [18:20] shane2peru, ummm, probably didn't "fix it", try making the video fullscreen [18:20] !puregnome | spekko [18:20] spekko: If you want to remove all !KDE packages, type « sudo apt-get --purge remove kdelibs4c2a kdelibs5-data && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » into a !terminal [18:20] erUSUL, i'm still locked out of the folder [18:20] it changed things that were right [18:21] iceroot, oh lol. i didnt understand :P. im a noob at linux still [18:21] sudobash_: it's basically a tool like dia, only with some more fresh icons [18:21] spekko: that's why it's better to use aptitude... apt-get is not good at doing stuff like that [18:21] like a visual traceroute? [18:21] iceroot, thanx [18:21] tomatoes7: sudo chown -R $USER:USER /media/AVCHD/JWedding/ [18:21] spekko: np [18:21] never seen dia [18:21] erUSUL, nevermind i got it [18:21] what utillity do you use for backup. I have approx 100 Gb. 25 Gb of ext3. for the liux drive I am thiking of dump or tar.. [18:21] shane2peru, try "mplayer -vo gl $FILENAME" and see if that works [18:21] $USER: [18:21] Is there any way to send myself sms text messages from my server? I am on verizon, running Ubuntu 9.10 server editiin [18:21] Another try, all at once this time: Could anyone help me with this problem where when I use "Network Connections" to edit auto Eth0, setting the IPv4 method to manual causes the apply button to get grayed out?

[18:22] wash like sms you? [18:22] spekko: not if you already have gnome [18:23] alo [18:23] Pidgin just went frog-king mental and used 7.8 GiB of RAM, how do I make a debug report and to whom do I send it? [18:23] yah sudobash [18:23] so what should I fill in at search domain? [18:23] iceroot, ok thanx :) === pc1 is now known as sby [18:23] spekko: but its no problem to type it [18:23] ZykoticK9, yep that worked better, I couldn't get them to fullscreen, however maximize worked, the second command made the picture bigger, the first didn't, just the window size, with black edges [18:23] you would have to make a script that could use a html based sms tool that doesn't use captcha or something, maybe even google labs sms or something [18:23] !bug | richthegeek [18:23] richthegeek: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs - Bugs in/wishes for the IRC bots (not Ubuntu) can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [18:23] guntbert: is there a default for Search domains? [18:23] *nods* [18:23] thanks. [18:24] shane2peru, so the -vo gl is working? if so you could edit ~/.mplayer/config and change the vo= line to vo=gl (FYI you might also want to try gl2 from command line and see if it works any better) [18:24] pulse would nt be a problem if it would give me my sound card instead of just "dummy output" [18:24] iceroot: merely telling them that it went mental and used all my RAM isn't gonna help, do you or anyone else know where the runtime logs are for Pidgin? [18:24] ZykoticK9, ok, thanks! much appreciated [18:25] Garnasha: sorry, not those - only the three address/netmask/gateway [18:25] erUSUl how do I check /var/log/Xorg.0.log also can I send you the log cause I would'nt know what i was looking at [18:25] ZykoticK9, does this have to do with my nvidia card or compiz? or just mplayer?

[18:28] Garnasha: nice it worked :) [18:28] K thanks [18:28] quit [18:28] trism: can't reproduce, seems to be that I sent a message to someone who had just logged out and probably went into a crazy loop trying to get a "recieved" ping [18:29] so is there anything like vdpau for ATI? [18:29] sudobash_, i don't think so - not "yet" anyways [18:29] what dose this mean? Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) === lewis is now known as Lewix [18:30] sudobash_, give it 5-10 years for ATI to implement on linux (sorry i have no respect for ATI...) [18:30] k i got the paste bin iceroot http://paste.ubuntu.com/371928/ [18:30] hi, I am trying to install intel c++ compiler but the installation script complains about 32-bit compatibility libraries, and ask for the libraries libstdc++, libstdc++5, glibc, libgcc, even though the are already installed. I am on an 64-bit machine, what should I do? [18:30] Does anyone know when Virtualbox will support Direct3d? [18:31] coolcat, get a 64 bit compiler [18:31] wiley, it already does - to a minor extent [18:31] richthegeek: that should at least give the devs a place to look, if you include what protocol you were using [18:31] why not use g++? [18:31] alright, question for python enthusiasts this time: anyone else had this problem, I think it started with the upgrade to 9.10, where the argument tooltip disappearing locks your keyboard until you move your mouse out of and into the python shell window? [18:31] trism: surething, I'll have to remember my basecamp login now >< [18:31] coolcat: you probably need one or more ia32* packages. I'd start with ia32-libs and go from there [18:31] lol well i got this new gateway NV5378u with ATI 4200HD and it was a good price so I got it its all black and midnite blue looks pretty sweet I put Ubuntu on it the first hour of having it === sudobash_ is now known as sudobash [18:32] coolcat, are you sure you have libstdc++5 ? dpkg -l | grep libstdc - by default i don't think it's in Karmic [18:32] hello. Does anybody know which file defines the keymap for TTYs? [18:33] I did the glxinfo | grep render command and got this http://paste.ubuntu.com/371928/ [18:33] ZykoticK9, i tried ChessMaster in Guest Windows XP and I installed additions and Wine3d. It didn't work. Any ideas why? [18:33] it should be cause its hard to find some ppl use alien rpm's of libstdc++5 [18:33] wow, loads of logins/logouts [18:33] wiley try to run Windows XP in VMware or VirtualBox [18:34] Mrokii: http://www.shallowsky.com/linux/keymap.html [18:34] sudobash I am running Virtualbox [18:34] my ubuntu box is all the sudden not booting up, here are the errors on the screen: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d47bc7e3f [18:34] wiley, i have gotten some 3d games working in VBox -- but really the performace is still crap, verging on non-playable. does ChessMaster run under wine perhaps? [18:34] alright, question for python enthusiasts this time: anyone else had this problem, I think it started with the upgrade to 9.10, where the argument tooltip disappearing locks your keyboard until you move your mouse out of and into the python shell window? [18:35] .. [18:35] no, it doesn't either [18:35] hm [18:35] evantandersen_, I want to compare both [18:35] I've ran multiple games in VMware before never VirtualBox === f4d3d-5h4d3|AFK is now known as f4d3d-5h4d3 [18:35] CppIsWeird, looks like a dead hdd or bad/punctured cable or loose connection [18:35] coolcat: ah... ic. But the reason it is complaining that you don't have those deps ie because you have the 64bit version of those libs installed, and you need the 32 bit versions installed [18:36] ZykoticK9, no, it doesn't either [18:36] usser: bummer. seems to start booting. think its got enough left in it to copy files off? I've already tried playing with the cables. [18:36] .join #cakephp [18:36] CppIsWeird: your grub could be messed up... have you tried using a live cd? [18:37] where to find ifconfig file?? [18:37] CppIsWeird, try booting from livecd, but it doesnt look like it'd even mount [18:37] CppIsWeird boot ubuntu live cd and try to transfer files from it [18:37] evantandersen_, I downloaded the IA-32/Intel-64 I am going to download only Intel-64, I do not need 32-bit compatibility ... [18:37] evantandersen_: thanks, but as a linux-newbie I don't know how to do that: >do a recursive grep for "loadkeys"< [18:38] mido_: /sbin/ifconfig [18:38] thanx llutz [18:38] Hello I checked my /var/log/xorg.o.log and my glxinfo | grep render I got these errors http://paste.ubuntu.com/371932/ and http://paste.ubuntu.com/371928/ [18:38] mido_: to find commands, "which ifconfig" [18:38] Mrokii: cd /etc/ then grep loadkeys * [18:39] evantandersen_: thanks, will try that. === lilian is now known as Guest83205 [18:39] hi its not working nothing :( is there anyway of installing the legacy drivers for nvidia trough terminal [18:39] llutz ..

[18:41] mido_: what exactly you want to do? [18:41] http://paste.ubuntu.com/371935/ [18:41] mido_: stupid idea, backtrack isn't made for this kind of usage [18:42] dr-nicto, in your xorg log it even suggest trying to reinstall the nvidia driver, might be a good idea to try reinstalling the nvidia driver [18:42] dr-nicto, ZykoticK9 heh was just going to say that [18:42] llutz, is there a way do configure this ? [18:42] How do i uninstall the whole thing i did all this from the nvidia driver site instead of hardware [18:42] configration [18:42] mido_: look at the startscripts and add you network-start [18:42] did you even put in the resolution line? [18:43] dr-nicto, sorry i can't help if you used Nvidia driver from there page - good luck [18:43] hi. where i can find a script that makes automatically updates for ubuntu 9.10 ? [18:43] i did and it just defaulted the driver [18:43] did not use it [18:43] one sec [18:43] K lol guess its back to reinstalling 64 :( [18:43] asked me if i wanted to repair or change ect [18:44] dr-nicto, perhaps someone else knows how to uninstall the nvidia driver??? [18:44] llutz, .. could backtrack connect to internet automaticly ? if I did somethin [18:44] Mrokii: that won't work... sorry. what key bind in particular are you trying to change? === jon is now known as Guest65940 [18:44] I hope ;D id hate to have to reinstall i was trying to play guildwars but It doesnt load after all the dx9 install and c++ [18:44] zykotick9 do it in the synaptics package manager [18:44] Hi,everyone. I'm using debian5.0 stable. I found out by chance that there're two shadow files under my /etc dir--one is named shadow and another shadow- . I wonder what is shadow-? Is that a copy of shadow? [18:44] steve_, he used driver from site [18:45] evantandersen_: I need to change the whole keymap for TTYs as the one that is loaded by default is totally wrong. [18:45] Hi. With ubuntu 9.10, where is menu.lst of grub located? It used to be in /boot/grub/menu.lst right, but there is no such file on this freshly installed 9.10 system [18:45] you mean installed via sh ? [18:45] !grub2 > dennda [18:45] dennda, please see my private message [18:45] dennda, in 9.10 there is no menu.lst [18:45] Mrokii: okay look here [18:45] http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3907470&postcount=4 [18:46] i'd like to set up PXE boot for a livecd, so i can boot over the network into a live environment. I've read some things online but they all mention running a DHCP server on the same box as the one that will serve the PXE. In my org, we have DHCP running on another machine, and there is also an existing PXE system that another department uses. Would I still be able to set it up? Or if anyone has a few minutes to chat can PM me? [18:46] Mrokii: change the file to whatever your keyboard model/region / mode you want [18:47] evantandersen_: sorry, that's not going to work. These settings are already right (the keymap in Ubuntu). It's only the keymap in TTYs that's totally screwed. [18:47] mido_: /j #remote-exploit and ask there [18:47] so many quits :S [18:47] steve: is this how you did it? http://paste.ubuntu.com/371938/ [18:48] try that and see if it works if it doesnt come back [18:48] that looks close but not exact [18:48] What is super button in compiz fusion? [18:48] if I type "python" on the bach i want to start python from my installed source [18:48] llutz, thanx a lot dude [18:48] try that [18:48] should i replace that ? [18:48] but it doesn't work [18:48] i will be back to tell you how it works [18:49] brb [18:49] anybody knows of a nice changing-background theme with coralreef images? [18:49] yeah no need to back cause I have it now lol [18:49] backup* [18:49] fif0: you need to make sure that the path to your local python comes before /usr/bin in your PATH variable [18:49] how can i do this without root [18:49] lovelinux: Debian questions belong in #debian. I believe the answer is that yes, it's a backup copy. [18:49] come back and let us know if it worked [18:50] does anyone knows how can i create a file that makes automatically updates ? [18:50] fif0: add export PATH=/path/to/your/python:$PATH to ~/.bashrc [18:50] ionut: what? [18:50] *drops back into the convo* you're a Python user, trism? [18:50] ionut: if you're looking to update your packages (i think you are) you could write a script and make it a cron job [18:50] Garnasha: yes, what's up? [18:50] Mrokii: the keymap in the tty's should load the console-setup file [18:51] rww: hey,thax very much rww^_^, sorry for the wrong room... [18:51] I have a problem where python 3 under ubuntu 9.10 freezes up my keyboard [18:51] thanks a lot [18:51] Mrokii: did you try reloading the keymap in the tty with sudo /etc/init.d/console-setup reload [18:51] steve you have to make sure that you are editing and saving the file: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [18:51] adalgiso: exacly :). that's what i want to do. but i am a beginner,can u help me, because i don't know how to create that file ! [18:51] Garnasha: ahh, I haven't migrated to python 3 yet, too lazy to port all my scripts [18:51] I had done a wrong export [18:51] easy to fix by clicking anywhere outside the window, but it happens everytime an argument list tooltip closes [18:52] and, as you know, those tend to open and close quite a lot [18:52] Garnasha: I'm not an active user of python but perhaps its a bug in 9.10? [18:52] ionut: sudo crontab -e with * */1 * * * apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade #upgrading every hour [18:52] Garnasha: is this in idle? [18:52] Trek: I'm almost certain it's a bug [18:52] yes [18:52] sudobash, if steve is running 9.10 you could just rename xorg.conf and once the Ubuntu nvidia is installed recreate it with "sudo nvidia-xconfig" [18:53] IDLE for Python 3 [18:53] ionut: but automatic updates are bad, do it by hand and read before what will be updated [18:53] Garnasha, did you submit a bug report? [18:53] didn't do that under 9.4 either [18:53] iceroot: this command , i must run it from the terminal , or there is a way to write it down into a file ? [18:53] yeah but it will keep outputting the same non working xorg config... [18:53] for a bug report you need to list a package right? [18:53] iceroot: yes, but i want to use it on a server [18:53] evantandersen_: I don't think that this will help. The main problem is that the TTY forgets the "correct" keyboard at every bootup, or maybe loads an unfitting keymap from somewhere, and so far I haven't been able to change that. [18:53] anyway, wanted to ask here in case I was being stupid about something [18:53] ionut, iceroot: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticSecurityUpdates - is the correct way to do what you want. [18:53] he is having resolution problems I have fixed this on 9.10 nvidia before just not old 96 drivers [18:53] Garnasha: wouldn't the package be "python" or something? [18:54] more like 186 or something [18:54] ionut: check out cron-apt [18:54] I need a desktop recorder (good one) [18:54] ionut: you can write a file on /etc/cron.d/ with the content * */1 * * * root apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade [18:54] jrib: Or the link I just sent. ;) [18:54] what does && do in commands? [18:54] installing IDLE gets you about 4 packages [18:54] iceroot: thx so much [18:54] AegNuddel: Run the first command, then the second one if successful. [18:54] jrib: also tnx to u [18:54] AegNuddel: performs the next command only if the previous has exited successfully [18:54] jpds: is perfect [18:54] jpds: yes :) [18:54] AegNuddel: command1 && command2 command2 will only run if command1 was succesfully [18:54] ah [18:55] Mrokii: http://xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php?p=501932 [18:55] AegNuddel: command1 || command2 command2 will only run if command1 failed [18:55] and I wouldn't know which contains the bug [18:55] Mrokii: your exact problem (and solution) I believe! [18:55] on top of that, maybe it isn't even IDLE that's bugging up but some obscure package it uses [18:55] are you there slashdot ? [18:56] me? [18:56] its not causeing a error now but i still only have the same resolution to pick from [18:56] so basically, I want to file a bug report but don't know what to put in it [18:56] yes sorry sudobash [18:56] is there any application to extract a video from youtube in a range of time? [18:56] Hi. I have a slight problem. I'm running Karmic Koala (9.10) and when I try to connect to the internet, it connects, but I can't access the internet (I can't access any web page, can't ping or any other internet-based operations). My modem is a Huawei E220. Thanks :) [18:56] Garnasha: it would be best to file it against idle, you may want to try another ide while you're at it though [18:56] ionut: Or, you can use the tool in; System → Admin → Software Sources, and then the "Updates" tab. [18:57] ionut: Hitting a mirror server ever hour is a Bad Idea. [18:57] evantandersen_: I think I read that before and did the reconfiguration of console-data before (far more than once). That lets me set a good keymap, but after a reboot, that's gone again. [18:57] hmmm I need to connect to my buddys box via ssh let me see if he has the same ip and I can grab his xorg config for you [18:57] tride: ok, thanks, will try that [18:57] !bug [18:57] If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs - Bugs in/wishes for the IRC bots (not Ubuntu) can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [18:57] iceroot: if i create a file in /etc/cron.d how can i execute it every time i loggin into my computer ?

[19:00] !cron | ionut [19:00] ionut: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm [19:00] do you guys get paid for helping evryone out here ? [19:00] steve_: No. [19:00] steve_: no [19:00] Hello :) [19:01] steve_: no [19:01] steve_: that would be nice, but no [19:01] there should be a donation program started [19:01] Got a question about Kopete and webcam support. I've installed the libjasper-runtime, but still can't send and recieve streams. In the settings though, I can see my webcam image. [19:01] evantandersen_: yep, reconfiguring console-data is what I have tried numerous times, which only helps until the next reboot. [19:01] steve_ often enough though when people come to get help, they also contribute with help in return [19:01] guys? [19:01] iceroot: thx. but i can also paste that command into my .bashrc (of root profile). and any time i loggin into the shell it will automatically run that command.isn't that ? [19:01] Was there a drop in wifi quality in the new kernel? [19:01] ionut, do not use that command it may and will break. The proper way to accomplish what you want is by using apt-cron === Guest92138 is now known as Skuld_kid [19:02] the 2.4.31-19 seems to lower my wifi connection quality [19:02] ionut: no not with ** * * * root [19:02] ionut, aptcron sorry [19:02] ionut: just apt-get update... but dont do that [19:02] ionut: Use the tool in System → Admin → Software Sources, and "Updates" as I suggested. [19:02] cron-apt does a good job in that area [19:02] anyone can help me? plz :P [19:02] I can no longer hear sound in Ubuntu Karmic, and my gnome-volume-control applet is no longer appearing. Any suggestions? [19:03] !ask | Pyker [19:03] Pyker: 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).

[19:03] @asdff: is there a blank space in your 'taskbar' where the speaker icon should be? [19:03] ok [19:03] Pyker: you can't ping 8.8.8.8 either? [19:03] "Hi. I have a slight problem. I'm running Karmic Koala (9.10) and when I try to connect to the internet, it connects, but I can't access the internet (I can't access any web page, can't ping or any other internet-based operations). My modem is a Huawei E220. Thanks :)" [19:03] jpds: now if i want to cron that file i have to do cron -filename ? [19:03] Skuld_kid: nah it is completely gone :( [19:03] 8.8.8.8 [19:03] i don't think so [19:04] Pyker: try? [19:04] i have to reboot [19:04] lol [19:04] jpds: crontab -filename,sorry [19:04] brb [19:04] does ubuntu allow the use of IDE drives to be configured into a RAID 1, or is only SATA supported?

In the settings though, I can see my webcam image. [19:04] is there a recent problem with sd cards not automounting? [19:04] ionut: Why do you want to put it into cron? [19:04] how much HDD space would i need to run minimal karmic + tomcat + oracle express + SVN ? [19:05] ionut: The Updates tool uses cron already. [19:05] jpds: yes,but if i am into a server macchine ? [19:05] mattgyver: every drive (usb, ide, sata, scsi and so on) can be a software-raid [19:05] iceroot, thanks [19:05] Nice.

Maybe if I would edit that, it would help, but I am not sure. [19:07] just upgrade can hold things back [19:07] Yo [19:07] #backtrack-linux [19:07] sudobash are you still there ?

Pretty confusing. [19:09] mattgyver: any hints on how to mount them manually?

[19:34] Myrtti: you were right, it was a DNS problem. I changed the DNS server to Google's and it works. Thanks [19:34] My sound is no longer working. I followed this guide to try and fix it: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449. It was working a few hours ago. [19:34] CorvetteZR1, i'm sure you already lost everything when you repartitioned [19:34] Pyker: np [19:34] hehe [19:34] ZykoticK9, no, you can remove and recreate partitions as long as the cylinder size stays exactly the same, i've done it before [19:35] CorvetteZR1, OK? best of luck. i can't help...

[19:37] It was the only guide I could really find, and a few people suggested checking the forums if no one helped with my problem. [19:37] asdff, sound was working = you did something = now sound does not work, what exactly did you do? All in one line [19:39] tucemiux: umm. well I did do stuff. however it stopped working before I started muddling around.

[19:44] im on talk talk broadband and wont talk talk wireless but its not compatible what do i do?? [19:44] tucemiux: brb 1 second [19:44] is talk talk wireless wimax? [19:44] im not sure [19:44] asdff, install "gnome-alsamixer" if you dont have it installed already, click on "External amplifier", you can also try alsamixer in the command terminal to raise the volume [19:45] explain your problem a little more. Whats not working? the modem? [19:45] i wont wireless internet talk talk says its not compatible with linux [19:45] ok looking at the talktalk website I see its just wifi [19:46] dont listen to them... [19:46] tucemiux: I installed it earlier, nothing is muted everything is at full volume (switching sessions brb) [19:46] Does world of warcraft have a linux client? [19:46] lol [19:46] duskin no it does not but it runs pretty flawlessy under wine [19:46] nope you can run it through wine or cedega though [19:46] Duskin, WoW you mean? No, but it runs under wine [19:46] Or can it run in WINE at least [19:46] Flawless in wine eh... [19:46] Duskin there are files of howtos out there. [19:47] so if i put the disk in for wireless it should install wifi internet connection [19:47] @timmarshal as long as your wirless card is working you will be able to connect to a wifi router [19:47] Duskin, not flawless, and ONLY GL - graphics no where as good as in Windows i'm affraid [19:47] i mean on my desktop [19:47] I would use the disk because it wont have the drivers for linux on it [19:47] Duskin ZykoticK9 - thats true for most any game under Wine [19:48] BHoward what kind of wifi card? [19:48] Any idea if WINE will run on powerpc architecture? [19:48] not me.. its for timmarshal [19:48] Duskin, highly doubt it [19:48] tucemiux: back, apologies. [19:48] tim, do you already have your wifi card in your computer? [19:48] Duskin No - will not [19:48] nno [19:48] claracsc@gmail.com [19:48] i got broadband to my desktop [19:48] Duskin: Wine Is Not an Emulator [19:48] a [19:49] but i wont an upgrade to wi-fi [19:49] Jef91: thanks [19:49] go ahead and do it. Dont listen to talktalk because most wifi cards are supported [19:49] asdff, that is ok, so you are attempting to hear sound from a built in speaker in your computer or from the an output plug in the sound card?

[19:50] tucemiux: the latter, an outpug plug in the sound card [19:50] so how would i install the wifi with linux then [19:50] output* f [19:50] just install your wifi card, it should detect it and if not then you may have to do some stuff [19:50] !hardware [19:50] For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [19:50] goto that site to help you with hardware [19:50] you can check lspci to see if the card is detected [19:51] ty BHoward :) [19:51] no problem [19:52] if you have any problems just ask in the forums or come back here and someone will be happy to help [19:52] tucemiux: when I try and run gnome-volume-control from bash I get : WARNING ** Connection failed, as well as a GUI prompt saying: "Waiting for sound system to respond" [19:52] asdff, did you try rebooting your system? === other_ is now known as heaviside [19:52] tucemiux: :k... brb restarting [19:53] Bhoward come to my house and do it for me im confussed XD [19:53] Timmarshall - whats the issue? [19:53] whats confusing you? [19:54] installing wifi [19:54] hi. everytime i update my kernel, it updates my menu.lst wrongly... It puts my startup partition to (3,2) and it should be (0,2). Right now: i adjust it manually when i boot ubuntu and then change menu.lst manually... is there a way to "tell" ubuntu that it should use (0,2) instead of (3,2) ? [19:54] timmarshall what wifi card? [19:54] Why does Ubuntu install on every system by default a user account 'postfix'? [19:54] i dont know [19:54] when you get your card just install it and then check your connection manager to see if its detected and installed [19:54] is the wifi card pcmcia, pci, usb...? [19:54] fuzzybear, are you using karmic??? [19:55] if its not there then we can go a little further on the help [19:55] yes tucemiux, but the problem was there in former versions as well [19:55] until you get your card its hard to help you [19:55] hello, does someone know an app to retrieve a pdf from google books? [19:55] it says wifi is enablled [19:55] so you do already have a card? [19:55] fuzzybear, karmic does not use "menu.lst" [19:55] bullgard: It only adds that user on servers that have postfix installed. [19:55] i dont no ive never checked === mk is now known as Guest21163 [19:56] hi all. Anyone familiar with ZTE mf110? I'm trying to install this device on my 64bit ubuntu 9.10. Drivers that come with the device don't work, also I can't get the system recognize it properly - it's still seen as a storage device. [19:56] ok goto your terminal and type iwconfig [19:56] tucemiux, careful! it does if you upgraded instead of fresh installing -- only fresh installs got Grub2 === Guest21163 is now known as kmansix [19:56] tucemiux: I am very sorry for wasting your time lol. A restart indeed fixed the problem. I think that guide may have helped (it was basically a reinstallation of many things). [19:56] hi ppl [19:56] tucemiux: it does use that on my box, probably because i upgraded instead of new installation [19:56] are there any interfaces listed? [19:56] !hi | kula_ [19:56] kula_: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [19:56] I have 2 drives. 1 i use for a web server and the other I want to use for a file server. what software would be good to setup a file server?? [19:56] !postfix | bullgard [19:56] bullgard: postfix is the default !MTA and !MDA on Ubuntu.

[19:56] Dravekx - just use samba === rayan_ is now known as Guest9533 [19:57] no wireless extensions?? [19:57] i mean repo for karmic [19:57] ok now do lspci [19:57] well tucemiux, i've been meaning to do a fresh install but i just don't find the time and waiting for a NAS purchase to temporarily backup my files [19:57] and post the output to a pastebin [19:58] fuzzybear, youre right, menu.lst is there because you're still using legacy grub, #grub support channel doesnt even support #grub, you can try asking at another time and hopefully someome that still uses legacy grub can help you, or try the forums [19:58] ubuntu.pastebin.com [19:58] i don't really see why #grub wouldn't support that kind of grub anymore? [19:58] fuzzybear - kernel updates don't happen often, why even worry about it? [19:58] i think a lot of people still use it [19:59] as i said: i just change menu.lst and it's fine, but it just annoys me === pete_ is now known as Guest13864 [20:00] umm evolution sent lots of emails from years ago [20:00] how do i find out ive got a wifi card [20:00] i will try #grub if they can't help, i'll just leave it then.. thx anyways [20:00] Timmarshall, lspci or lsusb [20:00] Timmarshall, lspci if a PCI wifi card [20:00] is anyone having the problem with the volume lowering and muting? specifically, not no sound from speakers or any of the previous bugs?! [20:00] Timmarshall, lsusb if USB [20:00] Pici: "It only adds that user on servers that have postfix installed." <- Not only that. Ubuntu Karmic installs by default the DEB program package 'postfix' on every desktop install. Why do I need it? I don't think that I need it at all. [20:00] type 'lspci' into the console, then use ubuntu.pastebin.com to post your results [20:00] !who [20:00] As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [20:00] @timmarshal type lspci in your terminal and post the output to ubuntu.pastebin.com [20:01] !grub [20:01] grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10).

[20:01] what do i look for then?? [20:01] bonsoir j'ai un soucis j'ai deux PC UBUNTU j'aimerais partager mon imprimante reliée à l'un des deux PC via wifi et je n'y arrive pas j'ai parcouru tous les sites et forum et rien ne va quelqu'un peut m'aider ? merci [20:01] !fr | Johnny_Smith_14 [20:01] Johnny_Smith_14: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr, ou #ubuntu-qc pour les Quebecois [20:01] dont use lusb because if it was a usb wifi card then you would know that you have it [20:01] #ubuntu-fr [20:01] Johnny_Smith_14: Ecrire /join #ubuntu-fr [20:01] i reinstalled ubuntu 9.10 and volume became screwed up! [20:01] what do i look for on lspci???? [20:02] Timmarshall, perhaps this is easier "lspci | grep -i network" [20:02] otswim, can you download books for free? [20:02] Timmarshall, if you post it we can help. but anything that suggests a wireless card, like Realtek or other drivers (it's easier to post) [20:02] !paste | Timmarshall [20:02] Timmarshall: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [20:02] id rather keep this information to myself for security reasons [20:03] lol.... there is nothing there [20:03] but i dont no that [20:03] bullgard: It shouldn't. I don't have postfix installed on my own regular desktop computer that I have access to. [20:03] ok if you cant do that then i cant help. [20:03] for all i now this information could be used to spy on my actions [20:04] its just hardware info. its not an ip, no exploits, nothing of importance [20:04] Pici: Ah! Thank you for your observation. So it is prbably linked to Evolution or Thunderbird. [20:04] bullgard, i certainly don't have postfix on my desktop (but it's 10.04a2) [20:04] Timmarshall, look up 'lspci' online if you want to know what type of information it contains (reliable third party) [20:04] just tell me what to look for [20:04] bullgard, i have both evolution & thunderbird installed - but no postfix [20:04] do you have a laptop or desktop tim? [20:05] tucemiux: some books on google are available in 'full preview', i was wondering if there were an (k)ubuntu app to get it [20:05] TImmarshall, do you have a line that contains 802.11 in the text? [20:05] ZykoticK9: Thank you for your observation. -- And does your /etc/passwd include a 'postfix' entry? [20:05] i have a desktop [20:05] Timmarshall, perhaps this is easier "lspci | grep -i network" [20:05] like 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8180L 802.11b MAC (rev 20) [20:06] bullgard, nope [20:06] (that is my lspci line for my wireless card) [20:06] otswim, can you download the books? if they're in PDF format you should still see them even if they're attached in a browser === kenneth__ is now known as kegusa [20:06] otswim: you can just click the download link in the corner and choose either epub or pdf [20:06] TImmarshall, my desktop has one that says something like "Atheros communications" [20:07] tim unless you installed a card already in your desktop. chances are it didnt come with one [20:07] ola [20:07] de ke kolegio sois [20:07] ZykoticK9: Thank you. Now I have the problem to find out why it is installed on two of my Thinkpad Karmic computers. [20:07] great [20:07] sometimes they do. but not always [20:07] so its a waste of time then [20:07] Plenty of desktops have wifi cards, and some of them are internally USB connected. Mine is. [20:07] oooollllaaaa [20:07] hello [20:08] does ubuntu have some sort of firewall started by default? [20:08] whats the usb one agin in terminal [20:08] many newer ones have them [20:08] smacnay, not be default [20:08] i am ivan [20:08] lsusb (but that probably won't help) [20:08] thats true rww. however if you get one and are able to handle installing ubuntu on it yet not know if you have wifi then you probably dont have it [20:08] i is in espain [20:08] ubottu: es | naruivan0 [20:08] naruivan0: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [20:08] smacnay: No. It is safe by design under normal circumstances. [20:08] ZykoticK9, ok, thanks - I have a server in the basement running ubuntu and cannot access it via rdp. [20:08] tucemiux: trism: there is no download button for books that are not in full preview [20:09] I have xrdp up and running and the local switch allows all traffic between lan comps. [20:09] not sure why it doesn't work. [20:09] without posting your lspci and lsusb tim then we can give you a definite answer [20:09] cant* [20:09] whats linux foundation 2.o root hub?? [20:09] how to convert *.ogv to avi but in high quality ? [20:09] how do I make an autotools-package use icc compiler(that is in my path) instead of gcc? [20:09] otswim: yes, this is correct, because you aren't supposed to download them [20:09] Timmarshall: the usb controller [20:10] mido_, you can't upgrade quality in a conversion -- but check out avidemux if you want a gui app [20:10] coolcat: probably calling it with CC=icc [20:10] im going do do this the easy wayy [20:10] trism: it's not to download the full book, just the part that is available [20:10] get a wifi searcher of software centre [20:10] somehow "apt-get source" is broken here, am I the only one with this problem? [20:10] and idea on how to fix it? [20:10] Z_God: Do you have deb-src lines in /etc/apt/sources.list? [20:10] Timmarshall: is there a picture of two computers on the top right corner of your screen? [20:10] the easy way would be to have one of us look at your lspci and lsusb output.... [20:11] what kind of printer can i buy to run on linux? [20:11] erUSUL, You mean export CC and run configure? [20:11] rww: yes, it can download everything properly [20:11] ZykoticK9, i used ffmpeg to convert that .. but the converted file was poor quality [20:11] rww: but after extracting, a chmod fails [20:11] it may be possible you do have a wifi card but no driver installed [20:11] hi [20:11] mido_: sounds like you need to man ffmpeg [20:11] I have a question, if I try to mount a nfs dir with an uid that doesn't exist in the server and I'm not using all_squash, could I mount it ? [20:11] no just my ethanet connection [20:11] mido_, ffmpeg is very good - there are lots of settings, try adjusting the quality somehow [20:11] coolcat: CC=icc ./configure should do or maybe the configure script has an option for that [20:11] Timmarshall: ok, click the ethernet connection button [20:11] coolcat: see configure --help [20:11] blakkheim, I did this [20:12] yesss [20:12] Timmarshall: can you see any wireless networks in there when you do that? [20:12] ok ZykoticK9 [20:12] yeah it says disconnected [20:12] with wireless bt hub [20:12] locked [20:12] rww: http://pastebin.com/f1f6ee5ba [20:12] Timmarshall: disconnect or disconnected? [20:12] and o2 wireless [20:12] <_gtt_> can someone tell me the significant differences between lshw lspci lsusb ? [20:13] @Timmarshall it is still possible you have a wifi card installed but its not configured. without seeing your lspci or lsusb we wont know what kind of hardware you have and what type of driver you need [20:13] I have a question, if I try to mount a nfs dir with an uid that doesn't exist in the server and I'm not using all_squash, could I mount it ? [20:13] disconnected [20:13] _gtt_: lspci shows PCI devices, lsusb shows USB devices, lshw shows ridiculous amounts of detail about everything [20:13] Timmarshall: and what happens if you choose the wireless bt hub, for instance? [20:13] lspci lists pci hardware and lsusb lists usb devices [20:13] the authentication comes up [20:14] lshw hurts my brain [20:14] _gtt_: lspci list pci connected devices lsusb displayes all usb conected devices. lshw uses /sys/ to report all connected devices the kernel know about [20:14] Z_God: Weird. Does it only happen with that package? [20:14] Timmarshall: so your wifi works on your computer. [20:14] rww: nope with all of them [20:14] but i havnt got a wifi router though im getting it soon [20:14] here is the english version: http://pastebin.com/f51326690 [20:15] would a BT hub be bluetooth? [20:15] im on broadband at the moment [20:15] BHoward: probably [20:15] Timmarshall: so what was your problem then? [20:15] deacon, hp printers are prety well supported [20:15] Z_God: The actual error there is: "chmod: cannot read directory `/home/julius/1down/libxml/libmad_0.15.1b.orig.tar.gz.tmp-extract.CQk0S/libmad-0.15.1b': Permission denied" [20:15] So, I have some linux images on a partition of my hard drive but grub won't read them, what should I do? [20:16] rww: sudo? [20:16] rww: yeah it indeed doesn't exist [20:16] how do i configure the wifi when it comes [20:16] toastedmilk: you shouldn't need it for apt-get source [20:16] Aijse thanks [20:16] rww: with other packages I get a similar error [20:16] Timmarshall: it probably will be configured through your browser [20:16] rww: I already tried purging dpkg-dev & devscripts [20:16] seems like you have bluetooth and no wifi. best thing to do is just wait till you get your router and see if it works. If not you will need to give somebody enough information to help you or do some searching on ubuntu forums [20:16] deacon, google for hplip [20:17] Z_God: Do you have write access to the directory you're running apt-get source from? You could test that by running "touch testfile" from the same directory. [20:17] any clues why usb drive formated on ubuntu as fat32 would not be readable with snow leopard? [20:17] rww: sure the other files are put in there without problems [20:17] brontosaurusrex: this isn't a snow leopard support channel [20:17] Timmarshall: if the talktalk sales people have told you that the wifi will not work with your ubuntu, they must have understood something wrong. [20:17] this is not a snow leopard channel [20:18] any clues why usb drive formated on ubuntu as fat32 would not be readable with some other unnamed os? [20:18] blakkheim: hey, do you remember trying to help me getting the latest version of my linux image to run? [20:18] !repeat | brontosaurusrex [20:18] brontosaurusrex: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [20:18] they are pakistanies though [20:18] toastedmilk: no [20:18] Timmarshall: irrelevant [20:18] Why does the ATI drivers suck? [20:19] i wouldnt expect them to know about computers [20:19] Vhozard: because ati is the enemy of your freedom [20:19] Vhozard: because ati sucks. [20:19] lol cause ATI hates linux [20:19] Timmarshall: Please be nice, this is an International channel. [20:19] my ati cpu works with ubuntu fine [20:19] Timmarshall: ati doesn't make cpus [20:19] because ati dont want to give the specs from there cards [20:19] Z_God: alright, I'm out of ideas. Sorry :( [20:19] Timmarshall: yeah.. [20:20] i am not being rascist or discriminative i am sorry if i offended anyone [20:20] blakkheim: do you know how to get grub to read an image file it doesn't have on the boot loader from a different partition? [20:20] rww: I also really have no clue what could be going on :) [20:20] What dependencies do I need to put in Upstart for /sys/class/hwmon to be available? [20:20] my apologises [20:20] That is to say, what provides it? [20:20] blakkheim toastedmilk No, ATI doesnt suck. No ATI isnt the enemy of my freedom. Yes, Linux is not important enough :/ [20:20] Vhozard: those are opinions, obviously they could be debated [20:20] Vhozard: ATI cards just don't work well with linux. I have one, it took me FOREVER to get direct rendering [20:20] Vhozard: I have an ATI Radeon HD 3450. It works fine with xserver-xorg-video-radeon. It has basic 3D compositing support in Lucid. I am happy with it. If you're not happy with it, please use whatever works for you instead of doing offtopic bashing in #ubuntu. [20:20] Vhozard: and certainly not with my legacy card [20:20] my ati worked fine though [20:21] rww: isn't the radeonhd open source driver experimental? [20:21] I have never had any luck with ati.. at least not newer cards [20:21] rww Well, I actually wanted to know how fast the open drivers are progressing... [20:21] Mine works fine out of the box with Ubuntu 9.10, ATI 4850? [20:21] I believe their fglrx driver works allright with new cards [20:21] ola [20:21] Aijse: true [20:22] Is there any fancy app for ubuntu that would allow me to do dual head withou all the xrandr and xorg.conf hassle? [20:22] the ubuntu uses apache.conf and no httpd.conf? [20:22] Vhozard: Ah, okay. Surprisingly fast. As I said, I have basic 3D support now. I got awesome 2D support and video a release or two ago. [20:22] BHoward: fglrx should work fine [20:22] CyL, if you have Nvidia - yes, nvidia-settings [20:22] does anyone know where xchat keeps logs? [20:22] rww Including vsync on metacity? [20:22] ZykoticK9: intel? [20:22] no ablo ingles si no español === s is now known as Guest26971 [20:22] ubottu: es | alejandro [20:22] alejandro: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [20:22] CyL, then i doubt it [20:22] alejandro: ubuntu-es [20:22] I teach a Linux class here and we have install parties every month. The only problem I really ever have hardware wise are peoples printers. No problems with graphics cards generally [20:23] Vhozard: I'm not sure of the terminology, but I've never seen any screen tearing with metacity, so if that's what you mean, then yes. [20:23] BHoward: you've lucked out thus far haha [20:23] Vhozard: Some people would recommend fglrx. I find that fglrx is actually worse at 2D stuff than radeon now :) [20:23] Bhoward, try to include tvout and/or multiple heads, then problems will appear :P [20:23] lol [20:23] rww: If you have a legacy card, definitely use the radeon driver [20:23] no [20:24] :) [20:24] rww Yes, that´s what I mean. And I have a HD4850 and I can´t find ANY way to turn off the terrible tearing of metacity/compiz. [20:24] Vhozard: which driver are you using? [20:24] toastedmilk: I have an R6xx card, which isn't particularly legacy. It's still supported by fglrx, anyway. === unmole is now known as AnmolSarma [20:24] rww: yes, it's supported by fglrx. but you said you were using the radeonhd driver? [20:24] ketal [20:24] toastedmilk: no, radeon [20:25] toastedmilk I´ve tried the default ubuntu open ati driver, but im now using fglrx [20:25] Hullo. Does someone still know how to sync a PalmPilot (good old 1997) via RS232 using gnome-pilot or pilot-xfer? [20:25] Vhozard: You are probably using the proprietary fglrx driver [20:25] soreau Yes, I know. :) [20:25] Vhozard: Well, I don't have any knowledge of the fglrx driver [20:25] Vhozard: With the open driver, it is possible to have vsync with IRQ enabled in latest kernels === chasedouglas is now known as cnd [20:26] Vhozard: but radeonhd is experimental for 3D [20:26] soreau: right? [20:26] radeonhd is not recommended [20:26] soreau With latest you mean 2.6.33.xx ? [20:26] So, I have some linux images on a partition of my hard drive but grub won't read them, what should I do? [20:26] Instead, you want the radeon driver [20:26] even for HD cards [20:26] soreau: wouldn't he want radeonhd? [20:26] toastedmilk: so is radeon. They're using highly similar 3D code, from what I hear. [20:26] toastedmilk: no [20:26] toastedmilk: no, radeon works fine with Radeon HD cards. === enzotib_ is now known as enzotib [20:26] rww: no shit! that's pretty sweet. [20:27] It is not similar code [20:27] No, I know I don´t want radeonhd. radeon is just fine. [20:27] toastedmilk: watch your language. and yes, it is :) [20:27] radeonhd cannot work with kms, thus no dri2 [20:27] Vhozard: well, at least until a fully functional radeonhd driver is released [20:27] rww: :P [20:27] toastedmilk: radeonhd is dying [20:27] the open radeon driver is where all of the cool things are happening [20:27] <`mOOse`> gerry__, - I love this gThumb - thanks again for the suggestion [20:27] soreau You said something about full VSYNC support (2D) ? [20:28] soreau: so is the community going to just leave the hd cards to fglrx, or implement them in the radeon driver? [20:28] <`mOOse`> it's exactly what I was looking for [20:28] Vhozard: yes, with the open-source driver [20:28] does anybody know what type of wireless cards are used in alienware? [20:28] Vhozard: With latest kernels, there is now IRQ support which allows for vsync [20:28] `mOOse`: glad it solves your issue :) [20:28] cant find a decent answer [20:28] svenbuntu: .xchat2 in your home folder. You may need to show hidden files (Ctrl-H, I think) to get it to show up. [20:28] BHoward: isn't alienware kind of like newegg? [20:28] Vhozard: More info in #radeon if you want to know [20:28] svenbuntu: .xchat2/xchatlogs [20:29] I´ll look there, thank you. [20:29] guntbert: I see you use -meta also :) [20:29] soreau: lol, radeon is usually dead [20:29] not real sure, im thinking about buying the new netbook they are putting out but would like to do some reasearch on the wifi. [20:29] <`mOOse`> (I just got out of work and on my xubuntu install now) [20:29] does anyone know how to change the default email app in the indicator applet? [20:29] BHoward: umm..i think you can get whichever card you want [20:29] toastedmilk: You have it all backward. radeonhd is dying, radeon is very lively [20:29] #radeon --> 1 person in the room: ¨Vhozard¨ -.- [20:29] rww: how in the world did you guess ? ;-) [20:30] soreau: no, #radeon the channel [20:30] soreau: so is the community going to just leave the hd cards to fglrx, or implement them in the radeon driver? [20:30] Vhozard: You're doing something wrong, there are over 200 people in there :\ [20:30] toastedmilk: You are very confused [20:31] How to get this channel offtopic for 5 minutes -- enter #ubuntu and ask why the ATI driver is so poor ;) [20:31] yo yo yo [20:31] soreau: no, im just fairly uneducated [20:31] rww Ah, I see. I got the wrong server ;) [20:31] ActionParsnip: hi [20:31] toastedmilk: Fair enough [20:31] soreau: you said the radeonhd driver was dying, correct? [20:31] who is Frigg who CTPs me when I join? === z is now known as Guest86649 [20:32] ActionParsnip: look at the cloak of it [20:32] ActionParsnip: Freenode service bot [20:32] toastedmilk: radeonhd does not mean driver for hd cards [20:32] erUSUL: what? [20:32] rww: cool, but why though? [20:32] guys root cant login to my server [20:33] anyone got any ideas? [20:33] toastedmilk: that plain radeaon already supports HDxxxx cards [20:33] rww: dont have a problem with it, just curious [20:33] ActionParsnip: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#freenodeconnect [20:33] lenswipe: good. don't enable the account either [20:33] !root | lenswipe [20:33] lenswipe: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [20:33] erUSUL: so...what is radeonhd? [20:33] ActionParsnip: as the anchor suggests, it's the replacement for the Freenodeconnect bot [20:33] lenswipe: thats good, use a normal account and use sudo [20:33] toastedmilk: is a driver with a different architecture. somewhat an experiment (that failed) [20:33] toastedmilk: Yes, get more info in #radeon. The channel is not dead at all, if you idle there for any length of time. Also, it is officially logged, so you can read how much traffic is there each day [20:33] ActionParsnip, except root is enabled - root login has just recently stopped today [20:34] has anyone else used vlc media player and have the audio cut out until you do a killall of vlc, randomly ? [20:34] So, I have some linux images on a partition of my hard drive but grub won't read them, what should I do? [20:34] toastedmilk: There are three xorg drivers for Radeon HD cards: radeon, radeonhd, and fglrx. The first two are open source. radeonhd was somewhat experimental, radeon is generally a better choice. [20:34] lenswipe: then you've voided your warranty - we can't support systems that have root account enabled. [20:34] lenswipe: we do not support that configuration here [20:34] lenswipe: it's not the ubuntu way. [20:34] rww: yeah, I just got the whole gist of that xD [20:34] Myrtti, the hell are you on about? there is no warranty [20:34] anyone know a "scramdisk" type encryption prog for linex thanks [20:34] rww, but thanks! [20:34] Myrtti, presumably the ubuntu way is to fanny around with sudo - yes? [20:34] lenswipe: yes. === gateway is now known as Guest15107 [20:34] erUSUL, soreau, thanks to you guys too [20:35] Guest86649: what does "scramdisk" do ? [20:35] lenswipe, this is your local server ? [20:35] its quite anoying, i'll be halfway through watching a movie or less and suddenly the sound goes bye bye, for no apparent reason, but then if i kill the vlc process it will play again as soon as I open the media file again [20:35] lenswipe: the channel doesn't support using root or enabling root. its not needed [20:35] he's gone, guys === user is now known as Guest34325 [20:35] enabling root isn't hard :P [20:35] luciussir: tried the vlc ppa version? [20:35] ppa ? [20:36] LuciusSir: erasing all your files isnnot either [20:36] i just used the one provided from the repo [20:36] LuciusSir: Personal Package Archive [20:36] what is MSDOS tree cmd equivalent in Linux [20:36] toastedmilk: whats the difference ? [20:36] onaogh: tree [20:36] you have to install it though [20:36] !info tree [20:36] tree (source: tree): displays directory tree, in color. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.5.2.2-1 (karmic), package size 30 kB, installed size 96 kB [20:36] toastedmilk: i simply did an apt-get install vlc [20:36] luciussir: theres a later build on a ppa. websearch it [20:36] have any ubuntu studio? [20:36] ActionParsnip: what is ppa ? [20:37] LuciusSir: well, ppa's have support for different problems. [20:37] !ppa > LuciusSir [20:37] LuciusSir, please see my private message [20:37] !ppa | luciussir [20:37] luciussir: With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. [20:37] ohhhh its like the opensuse build service [20:37] problem: ubuntu 9.10 wireless connects, but does not let you outside of local network. Works with eth0. Any ideas? [20:37] ZykoticK9, well you could make it on-topic. facing trouble with power management [20:37] do they test the packages once they're published the same way ? [20:37] luciussir: someone has compiled a newer vlc for all to use. try it [20:37] temppu: what does dhclient say? [20:38] toastedmilk: not that good with this, what was that?-) [20:38] luciussir: the ppa maintainer will test although its not mandatory [20:38] !ask > titan_ark [20:38] titan_ark, please see my private message [20:38] temppu: go to a terminal and type in 'sudo dhclient' [20:38] luciussir: the newer version may help [20:38] ActionParsnip: is there a special build tool for ubuntu or can i just download the vanilla source and compile it myself if i wanna ? [20:39] e connection] [20:39] 14:38 < temppu> toastedmilk: not that good with this, what was that?-) [20:39] renfox: go to a terminal and type in 'sudo dhclient' [20:39] luciussir: you will add an extra repo and the app will auto update as the system will see a newer version available [20:39] ... [20:39] temppu: go to a terminal and type in 'sudo dhclient' and paste the output on pastebin [20:39] how can i see what version of valgrind resides in the ubuntu repos before i install it? [20:39] what's wrong with this command? [20:39] hello all [20:39] I need to move from a larger HD to a small one - I'd prefer make one exact copy with partitions proportionate to what they are now - any suggestions? [20:40] ubottu: version | Diverdude [20:40] Diverdude: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [20:40] update-alternatives --install tclsh wish /opt/path/to/Tcl/bin/wish8.5 5 [20:40] ActionParsnip: ahhh i see just like opensuse then [20:40] diverdude: apt-cache policy packagename [20:40] ActionParsnip: is that the page which has the repo links ? [20:40] What causes a mouse to lose its selection or alternate very quickly from selected to unselected? Would that be to do with Compiz or some such thing? [20:40] benkong2: what are you trying to do?

[20:40] trying to add Activestate Tcl to alternatives [20:40] Myrtti: [20:40] ZykoticK9, damn, got disconnected. i am facing trouble with power management. everytime notebook recovers from sleep it used to say no battery. this was on KDE,. now on gnome also it shows me no battery but my screen is very low contrast even though power is plugged in [20:40] luciussir: go to google. search for: vlc ppa [20:41] ActionParsnip: hehe i know i just thought that was avant guarde for opensuse i wasn't aware there was a similar thingy for ubuntu [20:41] How would one make a mouse behave properly? [20:41] titan_ark, sorry man I have NO idea, best of luck - hopefully someone else has something for you. [20:41] * hagus reckons that mouse-obedience classes are not the answer :) [20:41] luciussir: there are ppas for lots of stuff [20:41] how can I find which process has open connections on a specific port? seems like a rogue process on a server of mine is causing mayhem on irc... i see some connections using netstat, but not sure how to find the process which is responsible [20:42] ZykoticK9, okay thanks. i see a bug fix that requires a kernel rebuild but i am not good enough for that [20:42] ppaulhus: netstat -a [20:42] ActionParsnip: yeah, but I dont think this gives me the process [20:42] ActionParsnip, hmm okay...so just to be sure...when it writes: Candidate: 1:3.5.0-2ubuntu2, then its 3.5.0-2 and not 1.3.5.0-2 or something like that right? [20:42] Myrtti: I need tcl 8.5 for my tutorial I need libtcltk8.5 but ubuntu only gives me 8.4 [20:43] ppaulhus: it will tell you the name and you can then grep the output of: ps -ef to find what the pid is [20:43] Maybe I am getting slow in my old age - maybe I cannot respond fast enough for my mouse ? [20:43] ppaulhus: sudo lsof -i :portnumber [20:43] benkong2: search the ppas [20:43] ActionParsnip: hmmm ok [20:44] toastedmilk: connection cut after dhclient command, and then minute later whole ubuntu crashed [20:44] !info tcl8.5 | benkong2 [20:44] benkong2: tcl8.5 (source: tcl8.5): Tcl (the Tool Command Language) v8.5 - run-time files.

[20:44] but it makes 8.4 default [20:45] I worked with a person whose is working, and he sees no difference. [20:45] temppu: try running that command from a virtual console and pastebinit [20:45] hola [20:45] I can install the 8.5 files but [20:45] toastedmilk: what should I look in in dhclient? [20:45] benkong2: sudo update-alternatives --config tcl [20:45] raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwrrrr wheres the damn repo link LOL [20:45] #ubuntu.gr [20:45] We did have to downgrade from strongswan, but other than that, we did little to change things. Our system requires a group password, and uses a pcf.

[20:45] My mouse loses focus when I try to highlight from one end of a line of text to the other. By the time I reach the far end, the highlight has lift from the other end :( [20:45] temppu: why it crashed your system is beyond me [20:45] dont suppose anyone here is useing a nvidia mx440 [20:46] luciussir: in karmic it will be: sudo add-apt-repository ppa;//something [20:46] benkong2: sorry is --> sudo update-alternatives --config tclsh [20:46] I also tried putting all these in combination in the /etc/vpnc directory, and it fails there.

[20:46] Is there a better group for vpn stuff on Ubuntu? [20:46] how did you fix it was it resolution problem ? [20:46] LuciusSir: to make the driver from the nvidia site work i had to uninstall all nvidia shtuff hosted on the ubuntu repo [20:46] LuciusSir: and then install the driver [20:46] oops [20:47] erUSUL: that works but I need to add my /opt/ActivestateTcl-8.5/bin [20:47] that was directed at you steve [20:47] benkong2: if you're curious, the error from the command you gave above is that tclsh must be an absolute path, such as /usr/bin/tclsh [20:47] to the list ^^ [20:47] hi, have any ardour gtk2?

[20:55] install from USB and run on the local HD [20:55] I have no /etc/postgresql/8.4/main :'( [20:55] ok, does anyone know of a firewall program for linux that lets you throttle client connections live...i.e. you don't need to restart the settings, like IP tables? === Mowee`Bnc is now known as Mowee [20:55] ppl8x: good - but I have to admint that your question was not clear to me - try to write whole words and sentences [20:55] <`mOOse`> ahk... [20:55] *admit [20:56] I am also getting a bunch of these: pulseaudio[1354]: ratelimit.c: 1 events suppressed [20:56] Temmpu1: you tried 'sudo dhclient auto eth0' from a virtual console? [20:56] steve_: http://www.pastebin.org/88443 [20:56] steve_: hope that helps [20:56] Ferrenrock: Are you just concerned that one app will consume all the bandwidth? [20:56] thanks mate i will have a look and let you know [20:56] <`mOOse`> Bennage, and you don't have a windows pc available? [20:56] steve_: if it doesn't try also doing a startx &>mylog.txt and viewing what the server spits out [20:56] steve_: might give ya some clues [20:56] brb all [20:57] sandman: no, I'm concerned about that, torrent connections, etc [20:57] toastedmilk: running it straight from terminal [20:57] `mOOse`: I only have parallels on this mac... [20:57] Have you looked at Wondershaper? [20:57] sandman: I'm thinking something that can do what htop does and show me all connections but also let me drop or throttle them [20:57] i think i might have been playing wiht the wrong xconfig file [20:57] hey need to ask! i have ubuntu 9.10 where is xorg.conf ? before versions there were xorg.conf! [20:57] Temmpu1: try hitting ctrl+alt+F1, then running the file [20:57] kad__: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [20:57] because my college gives me infinite bandwidth but drops my connection for hours on end if I take too much at once [20:58] sandman: no, what is that? [20:58] and XP on the netbook, but the USB-creator doesn't work on parallels, and the XP on the netbook isn't accesible [20:58] kad__: although 9.10 might not have it [20:58] hi [20:58] Basically, do a bandwidth test. Determine your max bandwidth. Take downstream/upstream down by 10%, and run wondershaper eth0 downstream upstream [20:58] toastedmilk, i search no xorg.conf [20:58] kad__: check the 9.10 release notes [20:58] i accidentally set the active partition to a dead partition. [20:58] Replace downstream and upstream with your actual bandwidths. [20:58] kad__, it's typically not there by default -- if you're using nvidia - "sudo nvidia-xconfig" will generate one [20:58] toastedmilk, how i can edit the config then ? [20:58] Oh, you're worried about that... === nozes is now known as nozes2 [20:58] Well, yeah. Use wondershaper. [20:59] sandman: yeah [20:59] ZykoticK9, no i'm not using nvidia [20:59] hi guys. how can I boot ubuntu livecd using kexec to boot the text installer? [20:59] Figure out how much bandwidth you want to use, and do wondershaper [20:59] my huawei e220 usb modem has become very slow on 9.10 (~45kb/s). it used to be consistently 650kb/s. nothing wrong with network or modem as i am still getting this speed on windows. any ideas? [20:59] does anybody in here know a site where I can enter unicode and see what sign it represents? [20:59] <`mOOse`> Bennage, and you don't have a cdrom in the netbook I'm guessing [20:59] ZykoticK9, using: [23:48:51] ­lamiss is now busy [20:59] [23:48:51] ­lamiss doesn't have personal message anymore [20:59] [23:48:56] ­lamiss is now away [20:59] nope :P [20:59] Mrokii: google? [20:59] wondershaper is also very useful for keeping a connection from getting congested. [20:59] Can anyone help me with this sound issue? [20:59] sandman: I'd rather just throttle individual services or IP connections, not everything globally [20:59] like [20:59] ZykoticK9, sorry [20:59] I'm currently using these parameters: kexec --load tmp/casper/vmlinuz --initrd=tmp/casper/initrd.gz --command-line="preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper initrd=/casper/initrd.gz nosplash vesa video=vesafb" but I don't know what are the parameters to boot the text installation [20:59] thanks! [20:59] give precedence to one service over another === CAPcap is now known as cheesesteak [21:00] ZykoticK9, wrong paste was saying i'm using: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller ! [21:00] kind of like pfsense or zonealarm [21:00] <`mOOse`> looks like it's time for an external usb dvd/cdrom drive Bennage :-) [21:00] Ferrenrock: You'd want to give priority to a service? Then you'll probably need to research deeply into packet routing [21:00] arse :P [21:00] toastedmilk: I have searched google but found nothing suitable upto now. [21:00] Ferrenrock: Which will likely require some time on your part. [21:00] toastedmilk: same results, and it is not connected, so I can not pastebinit [21:00] sandman: pfsense and zonealarm had nice simple GUIs for it in freebsd and windows, respectively [21:00] I'm just looking for something similar [21:00] You could try that. [21:00] kad__, "sudo service gdm stop" (this will log you out BTW), then from console run "sudo X -configure" will put an xorg in /root -- copy & rename it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf [21:00] <`mOOse`> if you can boot from a usb you could put hirens on it and fix the boot record with that [21:00] I'm not familiar with those. [21:01] is there any software out there that i can stick on a USB stick, and boot from it on a PC to alter my MBR? [21:01] <`mOOse`> or ultimatecd [21:01] ZykoticK9, thx =) [21:01] <`mOOse`> yea plenty of em [21:01] Bennage: supergrub disk? [21:01] Temmpu1: sorry, it's over my head then. start googling your dhclient error message and see what you can turn up [21:01] <`mOOse`> it's an xp install erUSUL [21:01] <`mOOse`> on his netbook [21:01] sandman: pfsense has a list of running services with checks next to each one on which to drop, while zonelaarm has a list of services with the port and IP, and it literally has a little part to throttle it [21:01] Hello I'm trying to install build-essential on Ubuntu Hardy but it tells me libstdc++6-4.2-dev: Depends: libc6-dev (>= 2.5) but it is not going to be installed [21:02] <`mOOse`> he made the wrong partition active and he needs to switch it [21:02] how does one run a windows 98 app in ubuntu? using virtual box and then installing it like that? [21:02] except I need to build it on the USB stick from this Mac :/ [21:02] I see. Well, I'm not aware of anything like that. But that doesn't mean there isn't anything like that. [21:02] sandman: ah ok [21:02] what can I do to get it to install? [21:02] toastedmilk: nevermind, found a suitable site. [21:02] I'll keep looking [21:02] <`mOOse`> Bennage, you in the usa? [21:02] sambagirl: or trying wine first [21:02] Keep asking in here, hopefully someone will know =) Otherwise, if there's no luck here, I'd recommend a little patience and a forum.

[21:17] Temppu1: check your gateway, check your dns servers, check your router is forwarding your packets [21:18] ikonia: how to check them? If I connect the wire, everything works. Everything works also now that I am typing on netbook with wireless... [21:18] yo steve you still having problems? [21:18] how can i increase the connection speed of my usb modem? network manager? [21:19] ikonia: not sure what process you are referring, I'm not experiencing this issue with my RHEL servers on the same hardware [21:19] Temppu1: look at /etc/resolv.conf for your dns server, look at netstat -rn for your default gateway, look at ifconfig -a for your ip address [21:19] userone: you can't [21:19] swygue: ooh really, it's working on your RHEL setup [21:19] how can i show me all mounted devices in terminal?

[21:21] swygue: yeah [21:22] swygue: oops [21:22] sponzor: google are moving to it, so it seem production ready [21:22] ikonia: because it was written by the hardware manufacturer, and I'm running my xserver on a custom built mod myself, and having less problems now [21:22] ok tnx [21:22] ikonia: correction, having NO problems [21:23] so the grup works fine on ext4? [21:23] LuciusSir: there are the nvidia drivers from nvidia in the ubuntu restricted driver tool [21:23] ikonia: the moment i got rid of the oss kernel mods and edited my own xorg.conf the problems went away [21:23] LuciusSir: they are wrote by nvidia - not the open nv drivers [21:23] LuciusSir: they are the same drivers you are trying to build that you say "suck" [21:24] ikonia: yes but google hired ext4 creator that gives extra confidence; doesn't it?

Why do I have a key named Gary Parker in my Passwords and Encryption Keys? [21:26] LuciusSir: ok, so why do you think building the same modules from nvidia will work ? [21:26] ikonia: did for me [21:26] isolat3dsh33p: probably you collected it via your mail client (a mail gpg key) [21:26] ikonia: in broken one there is destination 130.208.so on with gateway 192.168.1.1 genmask is 4 times 255. two times the same line of destination 0 and right gateway with flag ug [21:26] LuciusSir: what do you mean "did for you" ?

[22:30] Ethernet controler Realtek Seminconductor RTL8101E [22:30] steffan, i would like it extract to /appl [22:30] teage [22:30] semanticpc: run your app as a service.

[22:43] nibbler: okay ... closing the shell **fingers-crossed** [22:43] In the package dovecot-postix where is the default mail storage?

If I rename a .iso will that change the hash? [22:55] manueljordison: what kinda poblems? [22:55] ke1ha whats vm? [22:55] powergoal, the wifi card is not working at all. [22:56] jazz I'd just install them back, most distros have similar package managers than Ubuntu's [22:56] a Virtual application like VMware or similar. [22:56] manueljordison: what kind of card is it? Realtek... [22:57] jazz I think kelha is suggesting you to install whatever distro you want to try on a virtual machine [22:57] right now at the mopment i have tooo much space for root and not enought space for home. br right back in a sec [22:57] realtek semiconductor RTL8101E/RTL8102E PCI Express [22:57] powergoal, RTL8101E/RTL8102E PCI Express [22:58] sorry im back [22:58] can you guys please a run ls -l / and look for 'list-c' an d'list-l' files? do you have them? i got them and they have root:root ownership and they are empty [22:59] manueljordison: do you know if you have the kernel module loaded? [22:59] NewfierRich: no [22:59] forestwalker: just put sudo in form of itL sudo ls -l / [23:00] powergoal... nop I am just a ubuntu user [23:00] forestwalker no I don't have them, I think those are created by a graphics viewer application though [23:00] lets try that again: sudo ls -l / | grep list-c [23:01] ke1ha: i did it. they are empty files [23:02] smae here, nadda on the list-c or list-l files. [23:02] is there anybody playing quake 3 on ubuntu? [23:02] ke1ha: i'm still running this. i have a lot of files on my HD. so far nothing found usefull [23:02] Crystufer: did it work? [23:02] manueljordison: looking to see which module you need... then we can check. :) [23:02] nibbler: Not sure yet. I haven't tried it. I need the name of the right kernel. [23:02] manueljordison: if you can't get the native install to configure you NIC, consider ndiswrapper [23:03] darolu i missed your statement , i got it now... [23:03] wrong chat for games u want wines channel [23:03] Crystufer: well, it should be on /boot [23:03] can i use cat to attach to seperate avi files. [23:03] kelha, I did it but nothing happens [23:03] Is there quake3 for linux? [23:03] what is the text editor in gnome? [23:03] check wine HQ [23:03] teage: gedit [23:03] i think q3 is under there [23:03] nibbler: Oh yeah, you're right. I should be able to copy paste that bit once I'm in the live environment. [23:04] teage, gedit [23:04] nibbler: Rest of it looks reasonable though with it installed to sda2, right? [23:04] manualjordon: what does it say when you ndiswrapper -l [23:05] Crystufer: well, mainly its about the location and name of kernel and initrd [23:05] Crystufer: if you cant boot the kernel, you can use the "e" button in grub to edit the lines [23:05] Hi [23:05] I've installed ubuntu 9.10 64-bit, but I've no sound, how can I fix it? [23:06] compile alsa manually or use OSS [23:06] how? === gdb_ is now known as gdb [23:06] could anyone tell me if something has changed re: users being able to setuid root recently? in that, I can't :) [23:06] what is the best ubuntu app for streaming online tv [23:06] nibbler: kk. thanks. [23:06] I did a command line install of ubuntu 9 alternate and apt-get installed deovecot-postfix [23:07] http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Main_Page [23:07] $ df -h [23:07] Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on [23:07] /dev/sda1 288G 896M 273G 1% / [23:07] totem seems to work to slowly === E is now known as Guest59684 [23:07] 896MB [23:07] manueljordison_ , gksudo nautilus /etc/modprobe.d , then open file called blacklist.config and look for blacklist eth and type under it blacklist rt2800usb then restart yer computer and see if that works. [23:07] manueljordison: OK. so here is what I have found... You need to have the r8101 module in your kernel in order to use that model of wireless card. But it doesn't seem to be built in, so you might need to rebuild your kernel on a custom build. [23:08] Anyone know why libvirt would never properly start up VMs on system startup? [23:08] kelha: should I install alsa-driver only [23:08] ? [23:08] It's in /etc/init.d/, so that's not the problem [23:09] and the daemon starts up, but it doesn't *start* anything === andrei is now known as andrei_natanael [23:09] powergoal, it hink you are talking about module-assistant [23:11] manueljordison: which realtek is it agian ? [23:11] NVM I see it., [23:11] Anyone know the terminal command to launch crossover8 [23:11] kelha,RTL8101E/RTL8102E PCI Express [23:11] I installed it but it does not show up [23:11] I know that only the main and restricted repositories are officially supported. But who actually provides this support? === m0ar_ is now known as m0ar [23:12] anybody round here using landscape? i just heard about it and went to the website....sure looks slick. but am i reading it right that you have to pay $150/year/node even for the standalone product that you install on your own equipment? and if so, what's a node? is that just the machine i'm installing landscape on, or is it all the machines i'm controlling with landscape? [23:12] node = PC [23:13] Have not used Landscape yet [23:13] delemi: uh, both possibilities i suggested above would qualify as a "PC" [23:13] is it possible to unmount nfs when the server isnt reachable? [23:13] It would be single PC [23:13] kermit, i think umount has a -f for force but check man if that fails [23:13] ZykoticK9: that never works [23:14] kermit, it has for me [23:14] yaaar: Depends which version of Landscape you get. [23:14] is there a way to access MS Word 07 format documents on OOo? [23:14] There's several Bug reports on that Card / Model. Im looking for the work around. [23:14] titan_ark: it should already be active, should just need to open the doc. [23:15] why when I open GRUB at boot, some kernels aren't shown, specifically the ones I installed myself with .deb packages? [23:15] darolu, did you get an answer about Quake 3? Yes - points release and use the Windows CD to copy a bunch of files over, you probably won't get sound though -- perhaps you could try QuakeLive, basically Quake 3 in a browser [23:15] mrpink57, no i cant. i get an error when i try to open the document and it says it will do some recovery but it doesnt do anything [23:16] titan_ark: try to reinstall Open Office then, the lastest version 3.0 is suppose to open docx files [23:16] ZykoticK9: Thanks, I'm already reading about it. [23:16] ciao a tutti [23:16] Ciao sasa [23:16] darolu, i was trying to get ioquake3 to work the other day (which does have sound), but i failed [23:16] mrpink57, i have ver 3.1.1 [23:16] i created a script for when my computer resumes, in /etc/acpi/resume.d/99-resume-lirc.sh, but for some reason ubuntu is not running the script upon resume, anyone know why? [23:16] whats the command for the reinstall? [23:16] what user to use to login to phpmyadmin? [23:17] titan_ark: then try reinstalling, I googled it and it says it has support as of late. [23:17] manuelJordison: here a solved case: http://swiss.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8581510 [23:17] okay. [23:17] mrpink57, would you know the package name? [23:18] yaaar: Best thing to do is to ask at https://forms.canonical.com/sales/ [23:19] titan_ark: you can just do sudo apt-get remvoe then start typing open office and hit tab [23:19] ZykoticK9: I'll give it a try this weekend, hopefully it'll work fine. [23:20] titan_ark: its openoffice.org [23:20] mrpink57, Package openoffice.org is not installed, so not removed [23:20] whoa! [23:20] titan_ark: check in synaptic then [23:20] titan_ark: in synaptic you may even find some extension to install for docx [23:21] hello... is there anyway to fake a video input stream... I can do this with pulseaudio [23:21] cept it's an audio input stream :p [23:21] sponzor, with the user you created when installing mysql-server [23:22] hmm it wont login.. i will google it :) [23:22] mrpink57, it shows me openoffice in the installed and not installed also! thats weird [23:22] mrpink57, is there a way i can pastebin th eresults to you? [23:23] titan_ark: before you uninstall see if there is an extension to install for docx. [23:23] Hey all, I just installed the official ATI 10.1 for my Radeon HD 4870 X2, but I still don't have any graphic acceleration and it won't enable it in gnome-appearance-properties despite me having catalyst... any ideas? :/ [23:23] sponzor, user is root usually (if it is your machine) [23:23] titan_ark: no, it would need to come from a command line, you could send a screenshot but dont know what good it would do. [23:23] how does the ubuntu live cd autodetect the video card and load the appropriate modules? [23:23] anyone know where to get linux game ports from??? [23:24] sn00kie: my guess is a udev type feature were it seeks out what you have and goes from there. [23:25] anyone know about linux game ports?? [23:25] !games | Timmarshall [23:25] Timmarshall: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [23:25] sn00kie: I believe its a genric vga driver, then lists the restricted driver at install. [23:25] mrpink57, no i cant see any extension === m0ar_ is now known as m0ar [23:26] So umm, anyone know about ATI support on Ubuntu? I followed the official ATI installation instructions to a tee, no luck. :| [23:26] i mean extension for docx format [23:26] titan_ark: then I'd say either uninstall and reinstall or google about it a bit. [23:26] ke1ha, No, vesa is only used if there is no open source driver available for the graphics card available, which is rare. [23:26] mrpink57: Maybe you can help. I installed Ubuntu, and used remastersys to create a backup which acts as a livecd. Only problem is, when I load that livecd into a different computer, the video drivers load fine, but they don't autodetect on any new system. The live cd detects and graphics effects work, but my install doesn't [23:26] Ahh,. ok tnx [23:26] ke1ha: maybe you'd know to [23:27] sn00kie, Do you use proprietary drivers? [23:27] nope [23:27] mrpink57, yes, if only reinstall would work, when i say remove it says there is nothing to remove :P [23:27] hi [23:27] titan_ark: just remove it from in synaptic it should have a filled box showing it's installed [23:27] titan_ark: just mark for uninstall [23:27] sn00kie, Does the resulting install ( or the liveCD image ) have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf? ( it should *not* ) [23:28] mrpink57, yes, shall do that [23:28] thank you [23:28] Jordan_U: nope, no xorg.conf [23:29] oddly, fglrxinfo shows "X Error of failed request: BadRequest" in terminal. :s [23:29] could it be using a different kernel driver than the one on the CD? [23:30] kernel rather [23:31] sn00kie, Could you try booting into recovery mode on the installed system and look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? [23:31] !list [23:31] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [23:32] how can i change permission on a ntfs external hd? [23:33] stabu: you can do it via fstab file [23:33] or with chmod [23:33] Jordan_U: installed system? You mean the one I'm generating the livecd on with remastersys? [23:34] Ahh, is only ATI driver 9.12 supported on Ubuntu? I notice everyone is saying that version rather than 10.1... [23:34] <[-jesus-]> Hi, I just put Ubuntu 9.10 on my laptop & need help setting up the wireless.. I know what my NIC is & was directed to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1266620 [23:34] <[-jesus-]> Idk anything about Ubuntu though so yeah I'm pretty lost :( [23:34] stabu: or you cna use the ntfs-config-tools: udo apt-get install ntfs-config [23:34] sn00kie, The one that you say does not boot, which if I understand correctly ( I may not ) is the one resulting from installing from the remastersys CD. [23:34] darolu im trying to setup jinzora but cant import the media cause the permssions, i think [23:35] argah power management!!! [23:35] Jordan_U: Everything boots, and I can get into Gnome, however, it doesn't load anything other than the generic video card driver where the livecd actually insmods the correct driver and enables the graphical effects. [23:36] Anyone can help me with Evolution, http://i.imgur.com/nPI4k.jpg [23:36] ? [23:36] sn00kie, Ok, can you just pastebin the /var/log/Xorg.0.log from there then? [23:36] sure, I'll need a second. [23:37] *Sigh* Does anyone know of any particular dependencies for libvirtd? If I run it manually after system startup, all VMs autostart. However, they refuse to autostart at bootup. [23:39] <_Akiyukiii> :-) [23:39] Anyone help with crossover 8? [23:40] Hi, I just got emerald running, but it's not showing any themes. I remember there being a theme pack of some kind, but I can't find it. [23:40] delemi: Try #crossover? [23:40] some more have problem black screen after sleep using ati driver [23:40] !emerald [23:40] emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. [23:40] ATI Driver is totally unuseable here. :P [23:41] oddly it worked before [23:41] now it's not [23:41] OH! sudo su - !! [23:41] Anybody know what I'm talking about? [23:41] got i wish i'd known that two days ago [23:41] Gaming4JC I was there and received good instruction I am just having problems implementing a command they gave me [23:41] I use emerald and compize what shud I use ? [23:42] vinse: while this is true, someone here will get mad and say "no dont use root" blahblah [23:42] guess I'll go back to 9.12... the ATI 10.1 isn't working ... :s [23:42] sh install-crossover-pro-8.0.0.sh [23:42] is it normal for 'du' to not work in an encrypted homedir? [23:42] b636bc7ca: works in mine [23:42] it gives me 0 for everything [23:43] sh: Can't open install-crossover-pro-8.0.0.0.sh [23:43] but the data is all there [23:43] delemi: run that in a terminal? You may need to run "sudo sh" rather than just "sh" to install as root. [23:43] Does anyone know of a document that will walk me through how to migrate AWAY from encrypted homedirs? [23:43] capron: I've never seen that blurb about emerald before. There is a theme pack somewhere though.... [23:43] mike try this site for more info on emerald: http://www.webupd8.org/2009/03/ubuntu-install-themes-emerald-compiz.html [23:43] delemi: oh... hmm you sure the name is correct for the sh file? [23:43] I found some that tell you how to do go the other direction, but I'm having trouble mentally translating it in reverse [23:43] delemi: If it cannot find the file it isn't named correctly or doesn't exist [23:44] I tried $ su - [23:44] # sh install-crossover-pro-8.0.0.sh [23:44] Viper1432: Yeah, I saw that page, but it's not very helpful really. [23:44] hmm [23:44] delemi, Do not run that script as root [23:44] # ls [23:44] Crossover.Linux.Pro.8-DJM.md5 crossover-pro_8.0.0-1_i386.deb [23:44] Crossover.Linux.Pro.8-DJM.nfo crossover-pro-8.0.0-1.i386.rpm [23:44] Crossover.Linux.Pro.8-DJM.sfv ia32-crossover-pro_8.0.0-1_amd64.deb [23:44] Crossover.Linux.Pro.8-DJM.sha install-crossover-pro-8.0.0.sh [23:44] delemi: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[23:47] oh.. thank you [23:48] Jordan_U, what was the final fix for the graphics issue? Im interested in that one. [23:48] My flash stopped working just now. Now i can't watch videos on youtube. ubuntu 9.10 on usb. How can I repair it? === Guest96957 is now known as Jackage [23:48] i will try to paint my ububtu with your suggest [23:48] ubottu, Jordan_U - Thanks i missed that. I was just an issue of bad typing. Thanks ALL. [23:48] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:48] are there any tutorials on how to theme yourown self? [23:48] yes it is working!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[23:49] Hi everyone [23:49] !greet pfifo [23:49] oh a lot of people in this chan [23:49] so much nice [23:50] as much as there are cool themes in gnome look some things change i didnt want changed or what i wanted didnt or isnt cool [23:50] Gaming4JC, I thought it was !hi [23:50] pfifo: lol sorry I couldn't remember it. :P [23:50] ke1ha, sn00kie just left. Last thing he said was that he would pastebin his /var/log/Xorg.0.log, maybe he is rebooting to do that? [23:51] i fount a theme in synaptic i downloaded i like but it was yellow id rather a diferent color but the wasp theme was decent [23:51] Hmm... so anyone mind helping me install ATI drivers on Ubuntu? Make sure it's 10.1 proprietary... [23:51] What is a good FileSystem to store data between mac/windows/linux on? [23:51] Launchpad - Answers No 99985 - Any ideas? [23:51] rrr.. that's odd that LiveCD would work properly, then install incorrectly. [23:51] magn3ts, I have been using NTFS [23:52] my sound in firefox plays stuck in a loop, why? [23:52] magn3ts, The down fall is file permissions [23:52] hi brothers i have a problem whit the document kdedrc i dont have change permisions of this document [23:52] magn3ts, While not what I would call good, fat32 is the only filesystem that all three can write to by default ( Mac OS can read ntfs by default and ntfs-3g can be installed to add write support, Ubuntu can read and write to ntfs by default ) [23:52] delemi, yeah, I think its unavoidable though. Any other choices leaves at least on other OS out [23:53] so whenever i try to install sun-java6-plugin i get an error: broken packages [23:53] ok, I have a weird question, just want to make sure its ok, on occasion I come in here and answer questions from new users, once in a great while, the solution to their problem is a file, would anyone get upset if I put files such as these on rapidshare and made an attempt at getting the 10k downloads required for a free rs account? [23:53] magn3ts, dual boot PC or MAC [23:53] Jordan_U, yeah, ntfs-3g is standard for me+mac anyway so I odn't mind that. It's mostly the file permissions [23:53] pfifo: that isn't for here [23:54] magn3ts, I mounted a NTFS directory that is in windows (my documents) in /media [23:54] Any way to login to ubuntu without a keyboard? [23:55] clone1018: mind powers [23:55] :D I wish [23:55] clone1018, Auto loggin shud work [23:55] ya but [23:55] I need to login now :P [23:55] blakkheim, ok fair enough, plenty of other places that dont mind at all. Ill stick with the d-see-c I would normally use for this [23:56] clone1018: ask someone to login via ssh and let him/her set your passwd to no passwd [23:56] hm, how does ubuntu play with hfs+? [23:56] clone1018: A quick google search reveals they have a virtual keyboard in the making, that presents a bit of a problem if you don't have a keyboard and you cannot login to enable autologin w/o it. Soo... tempUser's method would work... lol [23:57] Dont you need an ssh server [23:57] tempUser, I guess he still needs to press return even if no password is used or ? [23:57] clone1018: Hmm yes I believe that has to be installed first? o_O bummer... [23:57] lol === carlos is now known as Guest37746 [23:58] clone1018, I believe there is a program called indic [23:58] still [23:58] clone1018: sorry i am comming in at the tail end of the conv' here - but is your mouse working [23:58] clone1018, maybe, just add a keyboard to your system? [23:58] I would have to login to the computer [23:58] Yes the mouse works [23:58] then you can click to enter the tempuser yes? [23:58] yes [23:59] Hello. [23:59] !hi Kyle_S [23:59] !hi | Kyle_S [23:59] Kyle_S: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines .

[23:59] i keep getting this error when trying to isntall java plugin: "Depends: sun-java6-bin (=6-13-1) but 6-16-0ubuntu1.9.04 is to be installed" [23:59] How do you adjust the mic input settings? [23:59] wait, this looks like hfsplus adds full read/write for hfs+ to ubuntu, does anyone know how well it supports permissions, etc? considering that mac os x is a unix based os
