[00:00] clone1018 maybe a live-CD live-USB System is good enough for your needs? [00:00] lol [00:00] Kyle_S: System>>Preferences>>Sound, then click Input settings. [00:00] login is a one time thing [00:00] so this server can be setup [00:00] Kyle_S, I normally use 'alsa-mixer' from the command line, press tab to switch between output/input/all controls [00:00] Gaming4JC: Hum. Because with my old install (no pulse audio), I had lots of options there, now I only have one. And I get no sound input. [00:01] Kyle_S: Ah... :/ [00:01] clone1018: you are obvis using a keyboard right now can't you plug it in the other comp? [00:01] Now it only shows "Internal Audio Analog Stero" [00:01] Laptop [00:01] Kyle_S, try this 'alsa-mixer -c0' or 'alsa-mixer -c1' [00:02] magn3ts, hfsplus support in linux can only write to volumes with journaling disabled. I don't know if windows can be made to read / write to hfsplus or not. [00:02] Kyle_S, i dont know how to switch cards in the GUI, but that is more than likely your problem. [00:03] Jordan_U: windows can, with 3rd party software packages (and not as a regular disk) [00:03] pfifo maybe. [00:03] this is a laptop, so I dunno why you'd have to switch cards..but still. [00:03] Anyway, how do you switch input sources in alsamixer? [00:04] Jordan_U, yeah, I think Bootcamp drivers include hfs+ read only drivers, which is okay. I use windows < 1% of the time [00:04] Jordan_U, magn3ts My windows based OS PC (XP) has issues reading and writing to my imac backup drives. [00:04] Kyle_S, pulse adds some weird device as a mixer, with just a single volume control [00:04] Does anyone know why a kernel wouldn't take graphic acceleration? :P [00:04] hi guys. do you know why ubuntu runs faster on a usb hard disk than a usb flash drive? it's running really slow on my flash pen drive [00:04] hey could someone give me the command to kill firefox? i cant get the pid to kill i [00:05] titan_ark: killall firefox [00:05] pfifo: Ahh ok. [00:05] Kyle_S, the -c switch allows you so specify a card number, eg... -c0 -c1 -c2 [00:05] Humm. [00:05] jp--, I have had faster read times using a live cd than either of those [00:05] Pici, firefox(1854): Operation not prmitted [00:06] Kyle_S, i have to use -c0, why it would default to showing card 1 is beyond me, but -c0 gets the job done [00:06] pfifo: oddly -c0 works, -c1 doesn't. Just errors out immidiately. [00:06] i think i have a failing HDD how do I test for it? [00:06] titan_ark: killall -9 firefox [00:06] titan_ark: is the process yours? [00:06] what would cause my youtube videos to lagg? [00:06] Kyle_S, what dose -c0 show? the pulse controlls? [00:06] i ran it on my usb hard disk and it woah, really fast, but on the flash drive is reaaaally slow :/ [00:06] Pici, same error [00:06] Jooder492: Flash codec, graphic acceleration... etc. [00:06] and it's the same installation, I just copied the filesystem using cp -ax [00:06] !flash | Jooder492 [00:06] Jooder492: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [00:07] titan_ark: what does ps aux | grep firefox say? (minus the grep line of course) [00:07] pfifo: it shows HDA Intel/Realtek ALC269 [00:07] hey guys, is there an IM program in ubuntu that allows you to add multiple contacts? [00:07] ok ty [00:07] Pici, ah i think that muct be the problem. i have vnc-ed into my school unix account and need to mail myself the result of a script i just ran [00:07] i have a ctt file from my msn on my other computer that i need imported [00:07] skullcandy: Pidgin? C:) ... [00:08] Kyle_S, looks like your on the right track, press tab to switch to input settings, my card has more than one mic jack, if yours dose as well you may need to change the input source [00:08] i own pidgin i cant import multiple contacts i jsut checked [00:08] skullcandy: Hmm, I use Pidgin for everything, I'm pretty sure it can import multiple contacts but I rarely have to import any... oh well. :/ [00:08] pfifo: Allright. Lemmie try again. [00:08] skullcandy: You checked #pidgin? [00:09] @game4jc can u show me a tutorial on how to ? [00:09] Pici, yeah i think i can see that there is another persons session running [00:09] skullcandy: I'll check... [00:09] i'll join now and check @gaming4jc [00:09] skullcandy: pidgin should work but emapthy is good too [00:09] Pici, is its format UID PID ....? [00:09] Kyle_S, if there is more than one control there you just need to play around with sound recorder and the levels until you find something that works [00:09] @har, can you show me a tutorial of empathy importating multiple contacts? [00:10] Hmm I'm not entirely sure lol :s [00:10] Pici, anything i can do? [00:10] skullcandy, what do you mean import, do you already have, say, an aim account and just want to use that? [00:11] no, i have an old msn account that has 1k users i talk to , and i wanna import that form my msn on my mwindows computer into my pidgin on my ubuntu desktop [00:11] titan_ark: ps ux | grep firefox then [00:11] well, your account should be on the msn server so you just add the msn account [00:11] skullcandy: If you enter your username and password it should import them automatically? ... [00:11] skullcandy: I'm pretty sure all of your contacts are stored at MSN's servers, so logging on in pidgin should make them all show up [00:11] i saved all the contacts in contactlist.ctt [00:11] Kyle_S, sometimes running this command in a seprate terminal can hint about the various settings 'arecord|aplay' (record input and pipe it to the output [caution this makes a bad feebback if your mic is near your speakers, best turn your volume down]) [00:12] i think i have a failing HDD how do I test for it?

Data, You may also want to check out Ultimate Boot CD for "Diagnostic" Tools on HDDs. :) [00:13] Gaming4JC, thanks [00:13] Pici, http://paste.ubuntu.com/372118/ [00:13] zer0rez: click system|admin|system testing does that do it [00:13] lemme explain, i' am trying to transfer all of my msn contacts to a new msn with 500+ users, i want to import 1k users from my windows laptop called contactlist.ctt to my pidgin that has 500+ contacts [00:13] skullcandy: I've never used that type of file so I'm not sure [00:13] the old msn i' am getting rid of [00:13] joe-evans, thanks [00:13] so you're creating a new account, I see [00:14] Pici the ps us | grep throws lines 5 to 9 as the result [00:14] weird both are reporting smart healthy. gah don't wanna buy 2 drives just in case oh well. [00:14] skullcandy: Create the new account on a windows PC, import it there, then use pidigin? The contacts will remain on the server. [00:14] this is the tutorial i followed to transfer the ctt file > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=By-ioSRNNI8 [00:14] I am looking for something like mp3val for all files (not only mp3) [00:15] @gaming4jc my windows comp has no internet atm [00:15] skullcandy: did you try logging into msn on pidgin, and if so, were any of your contacts listed [00:16] oh wait [00:16] you want a new msn, never mind, that's different probably [00:16] skullcandy: All else fails there's always WINE (http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=127) or perhaps aMSN can do this. :) [00:17] Pici, you with me? [00:17] titan_ark: sorry, my server's connection is doing weird things. [00:17] Hola [00:18] !es | Bullma99 [00:18] Bullma99: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés.

I was simply saying Hola. [00:18] lol [00:18] Pici, ah okay this is the result of the aux command: http://paste.ubuntu.com/372118/ [00:18] :) [00:18] this stupid contacts list thing is annoying me [00:18] okay il do that [00:19] Ok ppl, I'm not the only one according to #ati -- DO NOT INSTALL ATI 10.1!!! It'll kill Ubuntu. :) [00:19] just kill will work? [00:19] I'm so lucky to be here. Got scared for a min thinking I had lost my data using ext4 [00:19] Pici, just kill will work?

[00:26] Bullma99, Heard some people still report problems using ext4 and luks crypt , I run like that but I had a miss in the md5sum after copy a 40G file [00:26] pfifo: oh, I agree, was just pointing it out [00:27] Should I revert to ext3? [00:28] Bullma99, No keep it ex4 is cool [00:28] Bullma99, are you experiencing any problems? [00:28] I'll cross my fingers. [00:29] My system all of sudden would not boot. linux 2.6.31-17 (grub ver 1.97) [00:29] Bullma99, how sensitive is your data? maybe try ext4 for your root, but keep /home at ext3 until you decide you like it [00:30] I have not loaded system with sensitive data until I'm confident I can depend on system 100% [00:30] sadly, have xp still [00:30] Bullma99, maybe try upgrading to grub2. im not sure if it supports ext4 any better, but it is an option [00:31] i'll change to arch [00:31] Bullma99, What exactly happens when it "doesn't boot" ? [00:31] Grub2. .Currently reading that too. I want to be prepared in case boot issue happens again. [00:31] Bullma99, i use ext2/3 drivers in XP and I cant get ext4 to work with them so I stuck with ext3. [00:32] Bullma99, it all depends on how important your data is and how you do your backups. [00:34] Is there a way to force all files saved in some directory to have a particular owner and/or group? [00:34] Mike_lifeguard: why? [00:34] can anyone plz help me with how to connect usb mobile broadband connection in gnome ubuntu 9.10 [00:34] Bullma99, Grub2 is in beta I use ext3 for my /boot [00:35] Mike_lifeguard, I have a few directories that I do that with in conjuction with apache, i have a daily cronjob that runs [00:35] how do I find out what time /etc/cron.daily runs? [00:35] jrib: because currently, members of this role account are creating files in the account's $HOME which are owned by the user and have a group the role account isn't in. Thus, they are unwritable. [00:36] Ricoshady, 'cat /etc/crontab' its probbally at 00:00 [00:36] Mike_lifeguard: "the account" being the "role account"? [00:36] jrib: yes [00:36] Do anyone use tmpfs for /tmp. Heard it cud bee a good speed tweak ? [00:37] Mike_lifeguard: what you said doesn't make sense to me then [00:37] jrib: Do you understand what I mean by "role account"? [00:37] Mike_lifeguard: please explain [00:37] capron, I do, no speed difference at all that I notice, guess it depends how much you use /tmp though [00:38] pfifo it says 25 3 * * * root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily ) [00:38] jrib: an account multiple users can su/sudo into. There is a group by the same name which those members are in - so they can access the role account's files. [00:38] capron, Works great for cleaning up garbage files on reboot [00:38] Ricoshady, your cron.daily runs at 3:25am local time [00:39] pfifo, nice , How much ram do you have ? [00:39] jrib: however, if they *create* files in the role account's $HOME, they would be owned by their normal account, and in their normal account's primary group. Which the role account is /not/ in. Thus, those files are unmodifiable by the role account. [00:39] capron, 2gb [00:39] does anybody know why I might have lost SD card support during the last update? [00:40] jrib: the users cannot chown or chgrp the files, so some mechanism to force file ownership and/or group inside the role account's $HOME seems like a very sensible way to solve the issue. [00:40] Mike_lifeguard: the answer to your original question is ACLs, but there is bound to be a better solution here. If people are su or sudo into the role account, why are the files not being created as the role user? [00:40] if I plug in the card and look at dmesg, there is no sign that the interface even exists [00:40] pfifo, Is it anything you cant do , Heard compile and video editing cud eat take lot of space in /tmp [00:40] I assume there are kernel modules missing... what modules provide SD support? [00:40] i've tried the 64 bit and 32 bit versions of ubuntu on an acer aspire 7740 and all i get is a black screen....i can here the startup....any ideas....???.... [00:41] jrib: because they're human and thus lazy - doing it this way saves them trouble initially (until we get stuck with unmodifiable files) [00:41] Mike_lifeguard: so they are creating files with their own accounts and presumably have access because they belong to the role group? [00:41] jrib: yes [00:42] capron, Ahh yes there is one thing I have to work around, I was using a dvd authoring tool to make some DVD's (from legal sources that I own the copyright to of course) It would use /tmp by default, so I had to tell it to use /home/pfifo/tmp [00:42] wish me luck. will upgrade to grub2 [00:43] Bullma99: I'm fighting with grub... [00:43] Mike_lifeguard: usually you can do this two ways: 1) ACLs (man setfacl, man getfacl, man mount (you have to add the acl option)) and 2) is to change the umask so files created are group-writable for those users and setgid the directory in question (this way files should be owned by the group on the parent directory by default) [00:43] Has anyone played around with sun virtualbox and linux? [00:43] oh oh..Fighting w/grub? [00:44] doesntmatter: no, no one never has. ever. Just kidding: ask your real question :) [00:44] I'm having trouble setting up a network adapter to work with it. [00:44] jrib: I think setgit is what I was thinking of... is there setuid too? [00:44] pfifo, thanks I might try it I also have 2G ram [00:44] *setgid [00:44] Mike_lifeguard: there is but I actually don't think it has any effect on directories [00:44] jrib: ok, well I will look into those - thanks [00:45] capron, There are stting in the mount command that you can specify to set the maximum amout of memory, if you find your system getting lagged because of it, you may want to try that. [00:46] I recreated partitions on a drive, I used rsync to copy data over the partitions and verified it all transferred correctly. I did grub-install /dev/sda --no-floppy from the live cd. When I boot I get a grub command line without any error. Any ideas what I'm missing? I'm moving off of a drive that's dying and I'm happy I'm getting this done before it completely dies... [00:46] sLm [00:47] doesntmatter: you might try #vbox but you need to ask specific, detailed questions if you expect any help [00:47] Well I'm running backtrack 4 on sun virtual box [00:47] MTecknology, is you old drive still connected? [00:48] I have a new network adapter in my network settings called virtual something.... [00:48] pfifo: no [00:48] !enter | doesntmatter [00:48] doesntmatter: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [00:48] is there an easy way to get a newer version of flashplugin-installer applied? I have found a problem with the flash 10.0.42 in Firefox, that is fixed in 10.1 d51 (included with seamonkey 2.02) but I'd much rather use firefox and get updates from the repo, but I also want things to actually work, yet I don't know how to get this newer version applied to FF. [00:48] MTecknology, was the old drive connected when you ran grub-install? [00:48] Its called virtualbox host-only adapter [00:49] pfifo: no, I'm on the new drive now - now I just switch back and forth [00:51] hello all [00:51] how can I tell what options ruby1.8 was compiled with? [00:52] !source | benkong2 [00:52] benkong2: You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html [00:52] MTecknology, My first guess is that your grub configuration is looking at the wrong harddrive or the wrong partition, or in other words, a file not found.However, if your using grub2 which im not as familiar with,it could be something else. Can you boot from command line grub? [00:52] benkong2: read debian/rules in the source package [00:52] pfifo: I tried but didn't really know how [00:52] jrib: ok reading thanks [00:53] MTecknology, ok, are you using grub 1 or 2? [00:53] pfifo: 2 [00:54] how do i enable hardware acceleration? [00:55] MTecknology, unfortunatly I wont be much help, have a look at your /boot/grub/grub.cfg file to figure out the commands you need to run to boot [00:56] Can someone help me with a trackpad problem? [00:56] Nomadluap: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) === mnepton is now known as mneptok [00:57] MTecknology, You need to fix your grub.cfg by hand or run grub-mkconfig from within the new system ( for instance in a chroot ) [00:58] can someone explain to me about what "search domains" means in nm-applet? [00:58] MTecknology, Or more correctly, you need to have a grub.cfg in the first place [00:58] The trackpad on my Acer Aspire 5738 isn't being recognised in the Mouse preference panel. I: do not even have a Trackpad tab showing up. How do I fix this? [00:58] Jordan_U: I do, it was copied directly from the other drive and all partitions are the same except UUID; I ran update-grub [00:59] the online help said "In the Search Domains box, put in the domain names you wish to automatically search as a comma-separated list", but it seemed rather ambiguous [01:00] MTecknology, You ran update-grub from within the new system? [01:00] Jordan_U: ya [01:00] MTecknology, ok that specifically why im shaking on answering, I dont know id grub2 uses UUID, if it dose that is probbally your problem [01:00] Jordan_U: from the ubuntu recovery cd [01:00] what is the best file system to format a partition for ubuntu? [01:00] Hey all, I installed 9.10 Koala and I do not have any sound... Can somebody help? (Yes, the volume is turned up and yes it works under my old os...) [01:00] MTecknology, Can you use the grub shell and stay on IRC at the same time? [01:01] anybody understand what "search domains" means in nm-applet? [01:01] Hi folks, I'm behind NAT and a firewall. I've set it up to port forward for sftp, and ssh on port 22. I'm running "openssh" am trying to enable "ChrootDirectory" but run into an error, saying it could not connect... Without Chroot, things work fine... the directory is owned by "root" and I have no idea what i'm doing wrong.... Anyone know how to solve??? === jeremy is now known as Guest69068 [01:01] Jordan_U: nope :( [01:02] PingFloyd, yes, it uses that setting to try and search for a domain that dose not resolve through DNS [01:02] MTecknology, Did you run grub-install within the chroot? [01:02] Is there any way i can add start up applications (commands) in ubuntu using a script/cli? [01:02] Jordan_U: no, from the ubuntu recovery cd that dropped me into a chroot [01:02] help me [01:02] please [01:02] hi [01:03] MTecknology, Do you have a separate /boot partition? [01:03] !ask [01:03] 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. :-) [01:03] Jordan_U: ya [01:03] Jordan_U: I shoulda mounted that huh.... [01:03] Does anybody in here know anyting about touchpads and synaptics; specifically trying to get synaptics to recognise said trackpad? [01:03] Jordan_U: When I can reboot I'll go back into that and try again... [01:03] MTecknology, Should have, but probably didn't [01:03] veasmkii_: edit /etc/rc.local [01:03] Jordan_U: thanks - I'll try that [01:03] MTecknology, np [01:04] can ext4 be read by windoze? [01:04] Bennage: nope [01:04] ext3? [01:04] ok i have a wireless connection but no browser.....apt get doesnt work.....synaptic update no luck doi have to reinstall ubuntu all over again [01:04] Bennage, nope [01:04] Bennage: I don't thiink so [01:05] Bennage, yes ext3 works for me [01:05] umm i really messed up my computer D: [01:05] Bennage: it can read ext2 with an addon, but I wouldn't recomendd that [01:05] ah [01:05] Bennage, ext2 will work, to be honest ext3 will work too but it will be read as ext2 since its backwards compatible. [01:05] i deleted my ubuntu partition that had grub on it i guess so now when i try to boot up my old windows 7 it says 'partition not found' grub rescue [01:05] what do i do? [01:05] would ext3 be the best filesystem to use on a partitioned drive with XP and Os x? [01:05] Bennage, for sharing data between XP and OSX? [01:06] Bennage, depends if you need to use files > 2gb [01:06] and ubuntu [01:06] Bennage, fat32 would be the most compatible if you don't have any files larger than 4gb [01:06] thanks fez, thats actually quite useful information. :) [01:06] probably will be bigger than 4gb [01:06] hmm [01:06] My logitech webcam works ] [01:06] * semitones wonders if xfc is supported by XP and mac [01:07] XFC or XFS? [01:07] My Logitech webcam works in programs like Skype and Cheese, but it does not work in flash. Can anyone help me out with this? [01:07] Does anybody in here know anyting about touchpads and synaptics; specifically trying to get synaptics to recognise said trackpad? [01:07] can anyone help me? :( im in serous trouble right now [01:07] how do i reinstall firefox without apt get or add remove [01:07] Bennage, probably XFS :) [01:07] well not serious but i can't really lose my windows 7 partition for work [01:07] :P [01:08] jguzikowski, do a fresh reinstall of ubuntu. thats probbally the easiest way to go [01:08] well not serious but i can't really lose my windows 7 partition for work? [01:08] woops i didnt mean to send that [01:08] jguzikowski, do you only have 1 partition now? [01:08] can i back anything up on usb flash ? [01:08] pfifo, that'll work? also is there anyway i can just skip grub and go right back to booting windows 7 [01:09] pfifo, yeah im on ubuntu via flash drive now [01:09] My Logitech webcam works in programs like Skype and Cheese, but it does not work in flash. Can anyone help me out with this? [01:09] jguzikowski, run the gparted program and resize you windows partition, then install ubuntu on the newly freed space [01:09] pfifo, i just want it to boot windows without grub is what i mean to say [01:10] ive reinstalled ubuntu 8 times and it takes hours to get allmy updates back [01:10] or rather, i dont really need/want ubuntu back unless its vital to getting me back into my windows partitin [01:10] Does anybody in here know anyting about touchpads and synaptics; specifically trying to get synaptics to recognise said trackpad? The trackpad on my Aspire 5738 isn't being recognised. Can someone help me get it fixed?

You may want to try back later [01:20] ok, I will. [01:20] Sorry for the spam [01:20] Can any of you explain to me how to update the glibc in ubuntu? [01:20] Nomadluap, another option is post a thread on the forum, you might have better luck there [01:21] Sematary: update-manager handles that for you [01:21] how do i get ahold of 3rd drivers? [01:21] am I muzzled or something? Is anybody hearing me? [01:21] It told me there are no updates [01:21] which one? ubuntuforums.org?

[01:23] wanna chat whit indonesian [01:24] Bennage, you can have upto 4 primary partiotions on your hard disk, however one of those can be used as an extended partition that allows you to have many more logical partitions [01:24] !ot | izmailive [01:24] izmailive: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[01:25] thx [01:27] I'm afraid I may have corrupted my filesystem. Ubuntu forced me into a recovery shell, I ran fsck as it told me (although fsck warned me about the drive being mounted) and now Ubuntu locks up in the boot screen with Num/Scroll lock LEDs blinking. Is there anything I can do to recover my data? [01:28] Pluma. I just had the same problem. [01:28] Pluma- I was this close to erasing all my data [01:28] Bullma99: Please tell me I can still recover the files on the partition... I don't have any backups.

I keep adding users but no /etc/samba/smbpasswd file is created [01:29] I'm a newby but ended rebooting from livecd [01:29] hi pfifo [01:29] pluma: even if you do recover your files, remember this feeling and make backups from now on. Everyone has this moment [01:29] Sematary, try googling about it, and/or producing errors [01:29] Sematary, why flash 9, install the latest flash.

[01:31] liljay, you install it from Synaptic, the package manager [01:31] Sematary, download the windows firefox setup.exe and goto a command line 'wine setup.exe' [01:31] Pluma..yes [01:31] !nick | james_ [01:31] james_: Your nick is how people know you on IRC. Please don't change your nicknames too often (use /nick newnick), or it creates a lot of confusion. You should also !register your nick with Freenode. === james_ is now known as jameschu [01:32] oh [01:32] Pluma..In fact, now that I look back, I used my thumbdrive [01:32] trying to compile a program from source and getting this.......... ./configure: line 14535: `PKG_CHECK_MODULES(libmpdclient, libmpdclient >= 2.1,' [01:32] I had both plugged and was getting frustrated thinking I was going to lose everything [01:32] what area is chrome under in the install thing [01:32] I guess I'm having difficulty understanding wine [01:32] I see it [01:32] but I don't know how to use it [01:32] I was getting boot error and drive would not mount [01:32] Bullma99: I was hoping that this could work, but I didn't have a live CD with me at the time.

[01:36] liljay, I'm looking in Ubuntu software center now, but you *might* have to install chrome separately -- like you would on windows or mac [01:36] i am having a hard time figuring out how to install things on ubuntu [01:36] liljay, from a terminal "sudo apt-get install chromium-browser" [01:36] !software | liljay [01:36] liljay: A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents [01:36] Pici: jrib same error [01:36] liljay, for most things, it's as easy as looking for them in Synaptic or Ubuntu Software Center. But a few things, like chrome, you have to download separately [01:38] a "simulate" with GRSYNC gives me "permission denied" errors -- does anyone know how to solve this? It doesn't make sense that you'd have to use sudo grsync or gksu grsync from a command or F2, because this is a _GUI_ front end.. that would defeat the purpose. I'm not just trying to be a pain: I want to make this work for my girlfriend [01:38] eh i can't get it [01:38] chrome isnt in synaptics? maybe hhfkhc was onto something :D [01:39] huh, why did liljay leave [01:39] pfifo, chrome isn't - that's from google directly, but the open source chromium is. and hhfkhc doesn't know what he's talking about. [01:39] lol pfifo. [01:40] I'm guessing cuz it's beta apparently [01:41] Dextronaut, beta doesn't have anything to do with it - "chrome" is google's proprietary version [01:41] pfifo, where are u now? [01:41] anyone use grsync/ [01:41] Oo [01:41] jameschu, florida,but thats too offtopic for this chan, im in #ubuntu-offtopic for chat [01:42] Hi!

[01:42] ./configure: line 14535: `PKG_CHECK_MODULES(libmpdclient, libmpdclient >= 2.1,' alreayd done sudo build-dep ncmpcpp any ideas? [01:42] Nz3212: make sure you can compile vanilla ncmpcpp first without the extra stuff you are trying [01:42] Is the Netbook Remix available with the text-based installer? [01:42] jrib: I just did, and I can't [01:42] hi ! [01:43] is there any program that will execute a command every x seconds, without adding a cron job? [01:43] sort of like 'watch' [01:43] detrate: whats wrong with using 'watch'? [01:43] detrate: a for loop [01:43] tessarakt, Technically netboox just uses a different set of packages by default all which should be available in the text-install [01:44] watch -n2 $(fortune | cowsay -f $(ls /usr/share/cowsay/cows/ | shuf | head -n1)) [01:44] doesn't work 6_^ [01:44] ok [01:44] hey pfifo, I downloaded it (twice) but when I open up the C:\ drive with wine it doesn't show [01:44] pfifo, I have change to offtop, but can not see u [01:44] so I just take the normal text-based install CD [01:44] and try to put it on a SD card [01:44] jrib: any ideas? [01:45] detrate: put your command into a script and then run that script with watch. [01:45] Nz3212: ncmpcpp was probably rewritten to depend on the libmpdclient library (which seems to be new and not in karmic) [01:45] Sematary, you downloaded the setup.exe with the linux version of firefor which gennerally puts the file on your desktop. [01:45] I told it where to go [01:45] Pici: there's gotta be a way I can do it without that as well [01:45] guess that doesn't work, huh? [01:46] The 'Desktop' also known as the 'great big place where everything gets dumped' sort of like Your Junk Drawer. [01:46] Sematary, now you dont want to 'Browse C drive' you wnat to goto that download location and right click it in nautilus, select 'Run with Wine' [01:46] jrib, perhaps libmpdclient2 will work (not sure if it's in karmic, it's in lucid) [01:46] hello I'm trying to install build-essential on a hardy based distro could someone pls look at my errors build-essential will not install [01:46] http://paste.ubuntu.com/372152/ [01:47] ZykoticK9: you need the -dev version in any case and it's a good idea to rebuild the package [01:47] ok [01:47] not to sound stupid [01:47] but what is nautilus === NotTooSmart is now known as Nz32 [01:47] can you tell I'm new to this? [01:47] jrib, "libmpdclient-dev" is in lucid, not sure about karmic [01:47] Sematary: the default gnome file manager [01:47] detrate: This seems to work (keep the quotes intact): watch 'fortune | cowsay -f $(ls /usr/share/cowsay/cows/ | shuf | head -n1 )' [01:47] jrib: sorry xchat crashed, was asking you about my compiling error [01:47] .quit [01:47] got it [01:47] yeah [01:48] but now I have a new problem :-P [01:48] almark1: have you mixed repositories or installed any debs manually? [01:48] it's picking the same random character [01:48] detrate: Although you may want to use fortune -s, for the shorter fortunes [01:48] I have tired everything, I have done apt-get update many times and at first it didn't work due to my sources.list needed keys [01:48] almark1, have you tried running "sudo apt-get -f install"? [01:48] jrib yes I have installed something manually with deb [01:48] almark1: what did you install? [01:48] detrate: it works fine here.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [02:08] DasFlo: tell the channel the full problem. [02:09] do i need ssh for openssh to work?? or are they two separate entities working separately ? [02:09] necesito ayuda con monodeveloped hola [02:09] lol [02:10] Dr_Willis: whats the best way to sudo open a file and not have the happen? [02:10] !es [02:10] 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. [02:10] jrib: this is odd, I removed the problem package and it completely removed all of them for g++ but, I tried to do a sudo apt-get install build-essential and I got this, hold for paste [02:11] resno: i rarely have the issue. I dont use nano normally either. [02:11] I am trying a Dual Boot - Windows 7 and Ubuntu 9.10 64bit. Windows is on my internal hdd, Ubuntu is on an external hdd. The external hdd has 900GB ntfs for general storage, 100GB ext4 for / and 4GB swap. Grub is installed on the external hdd. I can choose a OS in grub. Windows loads fine. If I chose Ubuntu, the system immediately freezes [02:11] resno: i use vi or geany [02:11] jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/372164/ [02:11] The live cd runs fine, btw... [02:13] resno: if that file existed befor for the user.. i imagine it wouldent of had its permissions being owned by root. [02:13] DasFlo, paste your /boot/grub/grub.cfg [02:13] DasFlo, if Grub really is installed on the external (which by what you describe i don't think it is) you'd have to use a (BIOS) Key at boot to select to boot from external HD... [02:14] DasFlo, I mean your set the wrong disk [02:14] DasFlo: also edit the grub line at boot to have 'nosplash' and 'nofb' at the end of the kernel options so yoyu can see all the error messages. that may help. Very likely the system is looking in the wrong place for the files to boot. [02:14] DasFlo: like speme said. - I never use a external hd. :) but i do know it can cause issues. [02:15] It has to be on the external HDD. If I unplug the external HDD or set the boot order in Bios to boot the internal hdd first, I go straight to windows [02:15] DasFlo: when Installing to a EXTERNAL hd - thers some quirks with grub that one has to watch out for. [02:15] DasFlo: Can you boot Ubuntu in recovery mode? [02:15] I have Compiz set up to zoom in, but I also have some applications with windows larger than my tiny netbook screen, and I'd like to zoom out on those sometimes. How I do this? [02:15] DasFlo: because of how the installer works/sees the drives and how they change when you boot from the external hd. [02:16] DasFlo: grub basically nees to be told to look on the right drive [02:16] DasFlo: when bootintg from external HD vs internal the 'order' of the drives change - so it can confuse things [02:16] I think I'm going to boot from the live cd now and come back afterwards. Since I'm on W7 right now I can't really do much [02:17] littlegirl: I'll try recovery mode first [02:17] DasFlo: check out the grub menus and how to edit the grub command lines - you canproberly change some hd0,0 to be hd0,1 or somthing and get it working [02:18] Dr_Willis: I'll do that, too. Sec, rebooting... [02:18] Question: If I install Ubuntu Studio's real time kernel and patches, will that stop the audio from stuttering when the CPU is under heavy load? [02:18] hi just small question wanna change my window manager and doesnt work i typed in ~/.xinitrc exec /home/duke/.cabal/bin/xmonad [02:18] and i tried without exec [02:18] on a slowish computer [02:19] duke_: how are you starting up X ? [02:19] ehm autostart [02:20] duke_: if you mean Via GDM - then you need to use a gdm desktop session to launch the right window manager [02:20] duke_, you'd probably have to use "startx" for it to look at your .xinitrc file [02:20] duke_: there used to be a 'xsession' gdm session that ran stuff from .xsession or .xinitrc i think [02:20] duke_: or just not use gdm and use 'startx' that should run whats in .xinitrc === IdleOne_ is now known as IdleOne [02:22] I ahve a laptop that is going to be dedicated to just watching movies, hulu stuff like that anyone got an idea for a good OS, LXDE? Mandrake? Crunchbang? Kubuntu [02:22] how can I reinstall the default wifi drivers that come with Karmic? [02:22] How can I install updates using the shell, instead of using the Update Manager?

I rarely have any issues with videos on linux/windows. [02:26] i have a 64bit processor, but opted for the 32bit ubuntu. i'm downloading intel's integrated performance primitives library, do i choose intel 64 for ia-32? [02:26] astrocub: 32bit os = use 32 [02:26] astrocub: ia-32 [02:26] I would of opted for teh 64bit OS to begin with [02:26] depends on how much ram he has [02:27] I dont worry about the ram. I go 64bit even if i got 1gb of ram [02:27] why? [02:27] why not? [02:27] benchmarks do show that 64bit even with 1gb ram IS faster in many cases.. [02:28] and i only need one apt-cache server to hold all the 64bit packages. sine the rest of the lan is all 64bit [02:28] rww: no advantages, some things are incompatible, binaries are more bloated [02:28] blakkheim: ive not seen that to be the case. [02:28] What is the "sudo apt-get full-upgrade"? pattern not found in "man apt-get" [02:28] and i have seen.read of advantages [02:28] Dr_Willis: i have :( [02:28] blakkheim: no advantages to 32-bit, I've never seen any incompatibility or bloat [02:28] I can thionk of one binary i have that dosent work on 54bit [02:28] ZykoticK9: something that doesn't exist [02:28] ZykoticK9: whoever told you full-upgrade was thinking of aptitude [02:29] rww, thanks [02:29] well ya thats the whole point of 64bit [02:29] Ok I'm back and on a live session [02:29] hi, if I want to write a program that will run "forever" listening to a streaming api (http1.1) will it be better to make a service out of it? or should I stick with a daemon?

[02:29] hey peeps are there apps that can clean up my music folders seriously its like i got 02-pearljam 01 07 [02:29] weird crap [02:29] elpargo: a service normally runs stuff as demons.. so it dosent really matter.

[02:31] Dr_Willis: from the little I have read about upstart all I have to do is build a script. does my process needs to know how to be a daemon? [02:32] Dr_Willis: I think you asked for the contents of grub.cfg, right? I have it now [02:32] Das-Flo: wasent me.. but you can pastebun it for others to look at. [02:33] elpargo: i am lazy and just run things from rc.local you couldmake your program restart if it exits/ctrashes if you wanted to [02:33] Shall I use "sudo apt-get upgrade" or "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" or sudo apt-get full-upgrade", to get the Update Manager functionality in the shell? [02:33] Dr_Willis: Oh, sorry. "Pastebin it" - ok, I'll quickly find out what that means and do so [02:33] elpargo: thats all a demon does.

[02:37] ben__, but nvidia seems to get better support in old versions of ubuntu , 10.04 will be good for both i think [02:37] hello i am having trouble with dual monitors in 9.10, when i unclick mirror screens in desplay settings my monitors go black, i am using a thinkpad t60 with crappy intel graphics,worked fine on fc12 as an extended desktop [02:38] ben__, especially if your thinking 10.04 go nvidia [02:38] ZykoticK9, why?

[02:39] ouyes, 10.04 has both OS nouveau support + special support for nvidia proprietary driver(s) - you have 3 simultaneously installed and can choose which one to use [02:40] igie: try it with sftp.

[02:46] acclaimtech: scp [02:46] hi i am wanting to know how to make the embedding area of my external hdd bigger so i can install grub 2 on it /join #ubuntu [02:46] I've searched, but I cannot find what it relys on or why it wouldn't be showing. [02:46] yes but doesn't SCP move the data to your workstation and then back to the server? [02:46] acclaimtech: scp will do this by default. [02:47] Ubuntu still won [02:47] won [02:47] If there is a new distribution of Ubuntu available, will "apt-get dist-upgrade" upgrade to that new version (e.g. from Jaunty to Karmic)? [02:47] acclaimtech: can copy to and from [02:47] I clicked on it and vamoos, GONE! [02:47] srv: no [02:47] ok but I need one that doesn't copy through my workstation [02:47] I have skype but I dont get incoming video. All I have is a gray screen. Skype appears to think I'm getting video because it gives me the option to turn off incoming video [02:47] just go from server to server [02:47] srv: you want do-release-upgrade [02:47] blakkheim, thx [02:47] or raid array to raid array [02:47] blakkheim, hmm [02:47] Viper1432: had to go check the space used, used the terminal command df and it said 19% was used [02:47] won't boot from my external hdd. I have no idea what to change in grub.conf. Any ideas? http://pastebin.com/m53a5d6eb [02:48] I can't believe I can't find anything on google about this. Surely I'm not the first to encounter this issue. [02:48] it was just a stab at the issue fk_007 . that wouldn't be the issue then. [02:49] fk_007, something might have gotten corrupted...I've seen that with video drivers flaming out before. you might want to reinstall "desktop" from aptitude in a terminal. Could just be something got wasted. [02:50] When running " ./configure " for pidgin-2.6.5 I get this message (XScreenSaver extension development headers not found. Use --disable-screensaver). Self explanatory I know. My problem is (no laughing) I can't figure out the syntax. [02:50] Viper1432: very well could be, i had an issue no to long ago with the drivers, it went into safe graphics mode, but then when i rebooted it was fine, for a while [02:51] Yeah fk_007 as long as your /home is backed up, I' just reinstall the xubuntu_desktop stuff as a check. Settings and apps should stay the same as long as /home isn't borked. [02:51] Ok so how does SCP work? [02:52] acclaimtech: man scp [02:52] lostinspace_46: you should just insert the --disable-screensaver after ./configure and your filename [02:52] Viper1432: so do you mean install it again from the disk or how might i do it in the terminal [02:52] lostinspace_46, considered just adding the Pidgin Developers PPA instead of compiling? just a thought. [02:52] Should I just randomly change the numbers in grub.cfg? [02:52] lostinspace_46: should have said and BEFORE your filename [02:53] hi folks, i dont have an asound folder under /proc - i'm on karmic, is this normal? [02:53] fk_007, from a terminal you could do aptitude install xubuntu-desktop to reinstall all the basic xubuntu stuff. [02:53] acclaimtech: scp works much like cp only it can take host/username as options to copy stuff to/from remote machines [02:53] blakkheim, could you please stop telling everyone who asks a question to "man X" it's similar to RTFM [02:53] with scp and ssh - it IS worth reading the man pages. [02:53] Viper1432: cool man i appreciate your help, i'll try that [02:53] scp --help also has a good summary [02:54] ZykoticK9, I tried that. I am having some issues using the PPA [02:54] fk_007, as long as your net connection is good (which it should be if you're getting to the login), reinstalling via apt or aptitude on the cmd line is easy. [02:54] and no problem and good luck fk_007 [02:54] ZykoticK9: yeah, it's the "nice way" of saying that [02:54] blakkheim, well it's not really very "nice" [02:54] ZykoticK9: nicer than the alternative [02:54] hello [02:54] Das-Flo: You could learn how grub works and the commnd line for it. and try changeing the hd#'# from the grub command line till you find an entry that works. [02:54] when it's clear they haven't read the man page it's perfectly appropriate. [02:54] I need help with mp3 [02:55] lostinspace_46, what issue? if you're on Karmic it should only be a "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pidgin-developers/ppa" then "sudo apt-get install pidgin" and you're done [02:55] tule, configure is the filename [02:55] I need to recode some mp3 from 128 to 96 [02:55] wolfie1: try ffmpeg [02:55] with lame, the problem is that, in the process, all the id3tag is lost [02:55] any idea? :( [02:55] Dr_Willis: Yes, I understand that I'll have to edit that file. However, I'm working from a live cd here and I heard not to manually edit stuff into grub.cfg? [02:55] ffmpeg will keep the id3? [02:55] Does ubuntu support ssh? [02:55] lostinspace_46: i thought you were trying to compile something. no? [02:56] yes duskin [02:56] wolfie, make a shell script to read the tags for a file saved as variables, reencode, then set the tags. [02:56] Duskin, yes it does [02:56] Is ssh always running or is there a command to turn it on? [02:56] mmmh.... good idea, thanks gsgleason [02:57] Duskin, it should run upon boot automatically [02:57] Duskin, is it installed? [02:57] ZykoticK9, My Synaptic isn't adding repos correctly [02:57] Spanglish_7776: no idea [02:57] No one? [02:57] sudo apt-get install openssh-server [02:57] Duskin: apt-cache search ssh [02:57] that will install it [02:57] The whole disk is apparently read only from live [02:58] What ports do I need to forward for ssh? [02:58] 22 [02:58] Thanks all [02:58] Freaking Ubuntu has pissed me off all day long and now this. [02:58] or, Duskin... [02:58] have it point to a custom port for extra security [02:58] tule, the program is pidgin-2.6.5 the file to run is configure [02:58] Duskin, like Spanglish advised...openssh server is real good....get in synaptic or apt-get install. [02:58] alsa is supposed to write logs during bootup to /proc/asound but i dont have this asound folder, is it always there? [02:59] Duskin: yeah, that'd be a safer practice [02:59] does anyone know of a easy to use keylogger for ubuntu? [02:59] ok that's not working [02:59] How do I change the port ssh uses? [02:59] Duskin: when you conbfigure the SSH config file, make sure you specify either port 22 or port [02:59] in the config file, Duskin... [02:59] running ssh on a nonstandard port only lessens the amount of automated attempts to break in, it doesn't actually increase security [02:59] Anything like an FTP client for SSH? [02:59] Ah ok [02:59] acclaimtech: sftp, built into openssh [02:59] blakkheim, it helps to prevent auto-connectors from finding it [03:00] acclaimtech, gftp support ssh [03:00] Duskin: /etc/ssh/sshd_config [03:00] How can I save changes to my hdd installation from a live cd session? says it's read only [03:00] Blakkheim unless your isp blocks the general port as well [03:00] lostinspace_46: yes, I know. So, from the shell, ./configure --disable-screensaver [03:00] trineox: this is also a possibility, didn't think of that [03:00] acclaimtech, I believe Nautilus works as an SFTP client. [03:01] Blakkheim i run ipcop for my router and had to change its port due to that. took me forever to figure it out lol [03:01] Are the commands for dash the same as bash? [03:01] acclaimtech, filezilla supports for sftp, I'm using it for SourceForge.net [03:01] Duskin, yup [03:02] tule, I think I did that, but let me try again [03:02] Duskin, or at least 95% [03:03] is there a way to use bash instead of dash? [03:04] Duskin: You're currently using bash as a shell, dash is your default sh [03:05] hi [03:05] Ah ok thanks everyone [03:05] np duskin [03:05] ur welcome duskin always happy to help :-) [03:05] Duskin, oh darn, Flannel is correct i was getting /bin/sh and /bin/bash confused sorry - Flannel is correct, i'm all mixed up... [03:09] thanks [03:09] ;) [03:13] tule, I run "./configure --disable-screensaver" and get "Startup notification development headers not found. Use --disable-startup-notification."

[03:49] yeah me too. [03:49] xfs [03:49] ty [03:49] Is it worth it to go to that format? [03:49] it depends on what you're doing with your system. [03:49] proably end up messing with audatious. [03:49] i'd reccomend reading a comparison of linux filesystems. [03:49] for high transfers of files [03:50] I believe thats what it's for [03:50] amirite? [03:50] Trying to install unixODBC for use with PostgreSQL on Ubuntu 9.10 server. Getting error: ]Can't open lib '/usr/lib/libodbcpsql.so' can anyone help? [03:51] LavaEagle, you should read up on XFS, JFS, ReiserFS, ext4, etc and compare them for yourself. i can't tell you which is best for you. [03:52] ZykoticK9: hey bpmx only for ubuntu? [03:52] DrDamnit, i dont know if this is correct but i would've sudo updatedb; locate thelib.so then link it to '/usr/lib/whereever ? [03:53] CryptoMole, ? no idea -- i doubt it, if it's in ubuntu usually mean i can run on any linux [03:53] is it the same as beep media player [03:54] CryptoMole, OH YA - that's probably what it is! [03:54] dropped from repo's [03:54] debian [03:54] @g0_0p: the ilb doesn't exist. It's supposed to be in the unixODBC package for postgres, but it's not there. Was it renamed? Dunno. What do you think? [03:54] !xmms | CryptoMole [03:54] CryptoMole: xmms is no longer being developed, see http://bugs.debian.org/461309 for more details. Consider using audacious, bmpx, or xmms2 instead.

[03:55] kameron: btw i am now reading [03:56] LavaEagle, good [03:56] I use lenny and beep media play is not in our standard repo. [03:56] CryptoMole may i ask why you want/need an older version of ubuntu... whats your limitation(s) [03:56] CryptoMole, if you're using Lenny, why are you here? wouldn't #debian be a better place? [03:57] CryptoMole, i search in ubuntu's repo it isn't here either [03:57] i wanted it because it was built on etch technology basicaly [03:57] and the repos were from etch [03:57] Where can I get libodbcpsql.so [03:57] ? [03:57] in other terms [03:58] Is there any diff viewer for Gnome that works across GIO or SSH, so I can sync my local development directory to my server? [03:59] I i liked the older edgy because it had xmms and the older audacity mad madman etc [03:59] CryptoMole, good luck man - i'm off to watch some TV for a while, hope you find a solution/alternative - or get XMMS going ;) take care man [03:59] thanks [04:00] I give up [04:00] * iflema luved XMMS [04:00] later [04:01] iflema: me too [04:02] ryanprior, GVFS mounts are accessible by any application if only through ~/.gvfs [04:03] ryanprior, But if you really want to sync files for development you might consider using a revision control system like git [04:04] * iflema :*) [04:07] ive recently replaced windows with ubuntu, all my data drives are ntfs, is there any benefit to converting these to ext3, and if so can it be done without loosing my data? [04:07] is git easier to learn than svn? [04:08] infid: svn and git are different types of revision controls sytems. git is more modern. [04:08] infid, not in my opinion [04:08] Would anyone be aware of any public virtual private networks that any guest would be allowed to connect to? [04:09] nixjr: There is not much benefit to converting all your drives. However, if you buy new drives in the future, you can format them as ext4 or whatever's modern at that time (btrfs is coming up) and copy your data over. [04:09] Is there anything one needs to do to get Ubuntu to use traffic control (tc) settings? [04:10] infid, IHMO yes, but there are many that would disagree [04:11] infid: as far as Ubuntu usage and development goes, we largely use Bazaar (bzr) which is more similar to git. [04:11] infid, For just working with your own stuff http://spheredev.org/wiki/Git_for_the_lazy should be all you need [04:11] ryanprior, since i keep different types on data on drifferent drives (photos, movies, msuic etc) is it possible to optimise a drive the specific data? [04:12] nixjr: certain types fo formats do things better xfs is great for large files [04:12] nixjr: good ole fat32 works quite well for a drive that contains only movies; ext3 or ntfs would both work well with photos or music. [04:12] nixjr: xfs would also be good for a movie drive, as mrpink57 suggests [04:13] keep in mind fat32 has a file size limit of 4g minus 1 byte. [04:13] i'd avoid ntfs is still using what 2001 gave usw [04:13] us [04:13] artistx, ah in the case it would be no good, about 40% of my movies are hd now [04:13] Hi all! [04:14] Greetings Earthlings. I got an error message which told me to restart nautilus and I found the command to quit nautilus - I think - being >nautilus -q but I could not find one to restart it and I read somewhere the computer should automatically restart nautilus but this did not happen.... so... any help please TIA [04:14] would sharing between a linux and windows box, using etx3 and ntfs repectively, add considerable overhead to network transfers? [04:15] if they're hd files they are going to take a long time no matter what [04:15] I'm new to Ubuntu and just loaded it on my HP NC6000. I tried to google for a command to install video driver (Intel) but can't find the proper command. Any ideas? [04:15] nixjr: It doesn't for me, I go between Ubuntu 9.04 and Windows home server 2008 on a N Router and stream videos absolutely fine [04:16] I was told to add the repo found here https://launchpad.net/~philip5 What Repo? I don't see one. So I could get libavformat.so.52 for Audacity. [04:16] vaelenn, the package manager should have video codecs [04:16] how to configure the boot options in karmic?? [04:17] art: package manager from add apps? [04:17] how do i get networked printer working in ubuntu 8.04.4 server? [04:17] i just use the synaptic package manager in the menu. [04:18] vaellen, the command you want is: apt-get install [04:18] artistx: with server there is no menu [04:18] sudo apt-get install [04:18] or aptitude instead of apt-get [04:19] I'm using the artistx distro with about 2500 multi-media tools already installed ; ) [04:20] Thanks, trying... === warriorforgod is now known as Guest12184 [04:20] Stuuuupid question: how do you get ubuntu to install the man pages for all the standard C library functions (and maybe even the c++ functions?) [04:21] roboboy: i thought those were in the -doc pacages [04:22] hmm don't know the full name for that package, or how to search for it without getting signal to noise insanity :) [04:23] oh I found a useful link on google nvm mind me [04:23] roboboy: glibc-doc and manpages-dev [04:23] can anyone help me with apache. I'm trying to setup pam auth using authnz_external and pwauth but I cant get it to work. When I run sudo -u www-data pwauth; echo $? i get 0 but i just keep getting prompted for my password when I try to connect. [04:24] to the server [04:24] SOUND help: it looks like I'm loading the ALSA module twice. Sound is having intermittent problems, and I've lost sound in firefox. I can go to the multimedia control panel and play test sounds, but it fails sometimes. [04:24] thanks flannel [04:25] I've found it makes more sense to delete ubuntu and reload it than to ask here for solutions to an os that breaks often. [04:26] Is anyone here familiar enough with gnome-shell to help me change some of its settings? [04:27] jack5463: troll alert! [04:27] usually no one has an answer that works correctly [04:27] When you say something like that your looking for attention [04:28] LavaEagle, really. I delete and reload rather than trying to fix it [04:28] gnome-shell is pretty fantastic but there's some things I want to change- like the panel... and how the applications are displayed [04:28] LavaEagle: in all honesty.. jack5463 has a point.. this channel has lost more of the upper echelon people in the past few months.. now you have more of the people who have very little clue trying assist everyone. [04:28] OK, tried sudo apt-get install command, software center and still low res on my NC6000. I'm definitively lost here. Any other suggestions? [04:29] When has just trying to help ever hurt anyone? [04:29] vaelenn: I am not sure Xorg 7.4 supports that card any more.... I was having similar problems [04:29] bastid_raZor, why have the "upper echelon people" leave?? [04:29] !ot | bastid_raZor [04:29] bastid_raZor: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [04:30] Plus I have received plenty of good help [04:30] not to mention the free beer [04:30] ok how the heck do i turn off auto mount for my data disks. [04:30] my script is breaking. === cp is now known as Guest42500 [04:31] jak za instalować direct x ? [04:31] !pl | lukasz [04:31] lukasz: Na tym kanale używamy tylko języka angielskiego. Możesz uzyskać pomoc w języku polskim na #ubuntu-pl. [04:31] bbelt16ag you mean as in hard drives? [04:31] no Disks [04:31] grumby: That will explain it. It was worth tying... Thanks for the info. [04:31] harddrive maybe a disk but i am talking dvds [04:31] what kind of 'Disks' [04:31] i meant trying... [04:31] oh. [04:31] jack5463, usually the best help comes from people who have experienced the same issue as you and log in and want to help, you dont need to be a "upper echelon" person to be of help. If you find that no one in the room is able to help you then search in the forums, if it's a bug then search launchpad and/or file a bug report, then try the channel at another time [04:32] i want to mount my own dvd thankyou very much [04:32] bbelt16ag, What does your script do? [04:32] how positively old school of you [04:32] vaelenn: if you dont need compositing, the nuoveau ppa is pretty useable [04:32] reads my disk [04:32] its bash script so mount /media/cdrom [04:33] LavaEagle, i received good help too but I've run into so many problems sometimes i can't even explain what the problem is like I can get flash to run some video on youtube and not other video on youtube. would take me hours to straighten it out when it only takes an hour to delete it and reload [04:33] bbelt16ag, So you want to disable auto mounting of DVDs because it breaks your script to auto mount DVDs? [04:33] no [04:33] jack5463: I have been in the same situation, but there will come a time when that isnt a viable option... [04:34] my script mounts my dvd reads it and then put that info in a flat file DB and then ejects the disk. rinse and repeat [04:34] jack5463: and it's better Over All to know how to resolve such issues. [04:34] Remember: vaelenn=newbie ..., what's nuoveau ppa? [04:34] jack5463: haha ok I understand where your coming from, but once you do it once you know how to do it again right? [04:34] grumbly, yes if i didn't have another os to use I'd be in trouble [04:34] LavaEagle / jack5463: this is all off-topic [04:35] mneptok: agreed [04:35] Sorry [04:35] so, can anyone help me out with gnome-shell [04:35] mneptok, it's not really offtopic it's just ubuntu [04:35] the easiest thing to do is to have at least two pc's. Once for linux and one for searching issues. [04:35] !offtopic > jack5463 [04:35] jack5463, please see my private message [04:35] :D [04:35] it is great, but it isn't quite right [04:35] bbelt16ag, Can you just remove the mounting part of the script? umount and eject should still work fine. [04:36] i suppose i could try that. [04:36] ekim1 agreed [04:36] I saw it [04:36] lets see [04:36] jack5463: this channel is for support for Ubuntu. not Ubuntu in general. [04:36] grumbly: gnome-shell is not supported in any version of Ubuntu yet. [04:37] bbelt16ag go to "places" and choose cd/dvd creator andlook under >edit>preferences [04:37] I really really wanted a viable os but ubuntu breaks down daily [04:37] GNOME shell is also not supported in any stable release of GNOME [04:37] !troll | jack5463 [04:37] jack5463: trolling / trollish behaviour is behaviour that is considered annoying by other channel users, this includes going offtopic, asking the same question time and again getting answered and not acknowledging the answer, and these are not the only ways behaviour can be considered trolling, please see /msg ubottu guidelines - if this applies to you, you may find yourself outside the channel [04:37] as in >edit>preferences>media [04:37] OK found an ubuntu driver for ATI Radeon 9600 on AMD.com. File ends with .run, any ideas how do I install it. Install manager is not accepting it as a valid file. [04:37] jack5463: stay on-topic. [04:37] ryanprior: I understand, but... it is pretty fantastic... [04:37] grumbly: you bet it is. I suggest taking questions to the proper mailing list. :-) [04:38] vaelenn: not to be a downer, but check on the website [04:38] okay give me a way to fix ubuntu [04:38] ryanprior: you think #gnome on irc.gnome.org will have some answers? [04:38] jack5463: now you're being deliberately vague, and beginning to severely test my patience. [04:39] grumbly: TBH, certain people in particular will have answers, because they are the devs and early neck-deep testers. Most people you talk to will have no experience with gnome-shell. [04:39] if i want to find and copy just grup 2 from this install what do i do [04:39] Isn't there a higher level of dev help than this? [04:39] Sorry, web site led me to this channel for help. Guess I'll just leave you guys and keep looking elsewere. [04:39] grumbly: most of the people with the answers you want will be subscribed to http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list [04:40] grumbly: are you hacking on GNOME shell or do you have sufficient knowledge of GNOME to provide good QA work? if not, GNOME devs are going to encourage you not to use untested, unreleased code. [04:40] mneptok, My flash stopped working just now. Now i can't watch videos on youtube. ubuntu 9.10 on usb. How can I repair it? Some videos work and some don't. [04:40] jack5463, i've been in the room for 10-15 minutes and you have yet to describe a problem with ubuntu and that you want to fix it ***now***, all youre saying is you always have a problem with ubuntu - youre clearly trolling [04:40] mneptok: I am simply hackin... [04:40] hello everybody [04:40] LavaEagle, yes, file a bug report in launchpad [04:40] how you guys doing? [04:40] gmachine_24: nothing under places that says cd [04:40] ty [04:40] i can't set my resolution [04:41] but i say F' them devs!!! makin' sweet software and not makin' it stable... balls... [04:41] i already installed my nvidia drivers [04:41] and if i take out mount i takes longer to mount it and my script just go aheads and trys to read [04:41] and fails. [04:41] songer: have you checked the nvidia website/forums yet? and is the videocard supported by Xorg 7.4? [04:41] jack5463: i386 or x86-64? [04:42] (i dont really say f the devs...) [04:42] LavaEagle, You probably aren't interested but Canonical also provides commercial support if you really need it. [04:42] mezquitale, I've had ubuntu fail several times, freeze. Why does it do that? [04:42] (they're great folks) [04:42] mneptok, i386 [04:42] jack5463: sudo apt-get purge flash-installer && rm -r ~/.mozilla/firefox/$YOUR_PROFILE/cache/* && sudo apt-get install flash-installer [04:42] well if you can find the cd/dvd creator you can set the computer so it does nothing when you insert a recorded DVD [04:42] mneptok, yesterday it worked fine. today it doesn't work [04:43] jack10, usually it has to do with hardware or software that doesnt play nice with your hardware but youre not being specific, it "fails" or freezes when? have you noticed what you were doing when it froze? [04:43] jack5463: proprietary software stinks, don't it? [04:43] I'm sure there is another way to do this but if you insert a blank cd/dvd the cd/dvd creator should open and you can edit its properties [04:44] jack5463: Flash crashes a lot on every platform. For that reason, Apple has decided to stop supporting it... hopefully soon you won't want or need it on your computer. :-) [04:44] jack5463: in the meanwhile, you can install the Free Flash replacement Gnash, which works with many but not video sites. [04:44] hi guys. how can I set permissions on a directory, so all files created inside of it automatically get r--r--r-- permissions, no matter the user creating them? [04:44] jack5463: many but not all* [04:44] now i'll check it [04:45] ok seriously what part of ubuntut software is mounting that dvd [04:45] its not prompting or anything [04:45] it just mounts. [04:45] bad bad bad [04:45] bbelt16ag, Probably nautilus [04:45] I have an Asus 12.1 netbook atom 1.33ghz 160gb hdd 1gb ram, could not make ubuntu netbook remix run at all on it, is this user error or simply its' not made for netbooks really? [04:45] ohhh i wanna kil it [04:45] mneptok, I'm glad i didn't delete my stable os. I think good advice for some would be to delete ubuntu and reload it because it's a faster alternative to finding fixes for problems. [04:45] MidnighToker, I dont believe you have a good grasp on how permissions work [04:46] mezquitale: no, i dont. [04:46] mezquitale: i was under the impression that i could set a 'sticky' bit on a directory, which controled the permissions of files created within [04:46] bbelt16ag, gconf-editor > apps > nautilus > preferences, Uncheck the "media_automount" option ( https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/30501 ) [04:47] Hai [04:47] is there some way of revealing the "mangled" identifies contained in a library? [04:47] sup [04:48] MidnighToker, that is a tricky question, it might be possible to do it using a script, the trick is that you want them to be read only, problem is a file needs to be writable first otherwise you cant create it-- you create the file then set the permissions [04:48] thanks [04:48] jack5463: i think god advice is "stop beating the same old tired drumbeat and stay on topic regarding specific issues with Ubuntu support" [04:48] jack5463: and that's the last time i'll give you that advice before i simply ban you. [04:49] mezquitale: i'm happy for it to be writable for the owner, I just want to make sure its readable for everyone else. -at the moment i'm in a situation where files are getting created rw------- which causes headaches and means I have to change the permissions every time something gets added, otherwise it can't be seen by the webserver [04:49] thanks Jordan_U [04:50] what are the pros and cons of kde vs gnome [04:50] bbelt16ag, np [04:50] i currently use gnome, i liked XFCE but it was missing a few features i liked in gnome [04:50] but ive never used KDE [04:50] wondering if anyone had an opinion on this [04:50] brand0n: ask such questions in #ubuntu-offtopic, please [04:51] MidnighToker, this is what you do: [04:51] brand0n: *everyone* has an opinion, and it usually degenerates into a flame war [04:51] MidnighToker; type 'umask' what does it say [04:51] brand0n: install it, play with it and see if you like it. [04:51] KDE 3 was great [04:51] you telling me to ask somewhere seems more flamable than an opinion [04:51] KDE4 is so so [04:51] brand0n: tryr it.. sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop and then on the username boot screen change "sessions" to kde :) [04:51] lol midnight [04:51] my AIM screen name is "Midnight Toker" (no numbers) [04:51] kind of weird [04:51] KDE on ubuntu though isn't quite there IMHO [04:51] MidnighToker, you create a folder, chown it to yourself:users, give yourself whatever rights you want, and give users read rights only [04:51] if you want kde i'd go with a more kde centric distro like mandriva [04:52] mezquitale: its 0022 [04:52] brand0n; do some people call you a space cowboy, and some people call you maurice? [04:52] fez how is it performance wise compared to gnome [04:52] lol sometimes [04:52] same [04:52] kk [04:52] and sudo apt-get install kde [04:52] should do it right [04:52] then i can select session at login [04:52] something like that [04:53] brand0n: and k3b is very swish [04:53] the package may be called kubuntu [04:53] MidnighToker, have you tried on your machine? [04:53] brand0n: kubuntu-desktop not kde [04:53] otherwise kde [04:53] there you go [04:53] mezquitale: tried what? [04:53] thanks scunizi [04:53] that wont overwrite ubuntu-desktop will it scunizi ? [04:53] just let me select at login? [04:53] mezquitale: umask returns '0022' [04:53] brand0n: you can pick any DE/WM you like at login [04:53] brand0n: I like them both.. kde is fast becoming my favorite.. no it wont' overwrite ubuntu.. you'll have the choice on each boot [04:54] ok thank scunizi [04:54] and midnight [04:54] i have 2 boxes. logged in to 1 with user "user1" and logged in to 2 with user "user2". sitting at 1, I do "ssh -X user2@ipaddress2" to get gui apps on my display. I'd like to make it so that in ssh session, I can start an app that pops up for user2. Is this possible? [04:54] weird [04:55] mount is failing [04:55] MidnighToker, have you tried changing the permissions on a folder, then create a file inside that folder and check to see that you have whatever permissions to yourself and everyone else read only [04:56] I'm trying to play a music video on youtube, it won't play. I tried sudo apt-get purge flash-installer && rm -r ~/.mozilla/firefox/$YOUR_PROFILE/cache/* && sudo apt-get install flash-installer but it didn't fix the problem. Yesterday it worked fine. I've made no changes to the program. It happened after rebooting. [04:56] jack5463: you need to specify your actual profile [04:56] mneptok, what's a profile? [04:57] jack5463: look in ~/.mozilla/firefox [04:57] hmmm [04:57] mezquitale: yes, but its for a website, so its a little different [04:57] ok the dvd deivce needs to know there is a disc in there before it trys to mount it.. [04:58] mneptok, are you saying i should look up the definition? [04:58] so i cant have my try open and then do mount /media/cdrom from cli and close try and try to mount, it fails.. bummer [04:58] jack5463: i am telling yo to go look inside a folder. [04:58] jack5463: do you know how display hidden folders and examine their contents? [04:59] mneptok, yes. so you're saying to delete the profile and create another one? [05:00] jack5463: no. can you tell what i mean by reading the terminal command i gave you, or would you like more explanation? [05:01] sup guys [05:02] jack5463, how does flash fail when youre using it? Sound doesnt work or you get no video at all? I've had the same problem with sound, i see the video but no sound, or the video plays for some time but then it stops [05:02] Is there a way to make ubuntu cancel out the noise coming from the neighbours stereo? [05:02] LavaEagle, get it sorted out with your filesystem? i was away for a bit. [05:02] jsoft, is that a joke? [05:02] *sigh*. No, I am completely serious. [05:03] mezquitale, the window shows up, just black where the video is supposed to be but on other videos it works fine [05:03] kameron: Installing xfs going to test it out if my needs necessitate a xfs file system if not back to ext4 [05:03] jsoft: sudo -rf /neighbor [05:03] !nfs [05:03] nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [05:04] !love [05:04] :) [05:04] LavaEagle, cool. i use XFS with my mythtv setup. works great. [05:04] jsoft, do you mean a sort of electrical interference.. or just their loud music? [05:05] LavaEagle: GRUB has serious issues with XFS. keep /boot off of XFS formatted space [05:05] scunizi, rm -rf perhaps? [05:05] !talk [05:05] jack5463, can you give me the url of the video so I can go and see if I am able to see it myself? [05:05] LavaEagle, oh yeah. i assume you read about that. i wouldn't boot to an xfs partition. [05:05] kameron: XBMC looks extremely cool [05:05] ...... [05:06] I just did though [05:06] kameron: yep..stretching & typing w/ one finger & a cat on my lap [05:06] LavaEagle: it's not that it doesn't work. it's just that it's likely to break. [05:06] LavaEagle, oh. well i haven't tried it with grub2, but legacy grub was a major pain. maybe grub2 works well? i don't know. [05:06] scunizi, classic irc position. [05:07] mneptok: Break as in the middle of Stargate break or break as in ??? [05:07] LavaEagle: break as in "it booted yesterday. today it hangs." [05:08] LavaEagle, i would only use a ext filesystem for my OS and especially /boot. for media storage, etc, the other filesystem options are more attractive. [05:09] kameron: Ok I misunderstood the purpose of xfs then [05:09] Time for mandris [05:11] mezquitale, this one doesn't work - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiLveKVQjbY This one works - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCPQubIE2Hk&feature=rec-LGOUT-real_rn-3r-2-HM [05:14] first one works for me jack5463 [05:15] i was just in a ubuntu-help chat and now it says it is invite only. can somebody invite me? [05:15] i fixed it [05:15] i made it mount fail, sleep 5, then mount again [05:15] scunizi, worked for me until i shut down and rebooted. [05:16] giantpune, if you want help with ubuntu youve come to the right place, this is ubuntu's support channel [05:17] Anyone know of a free voice changer for ubuntu? [05:17] mezquitale, do you have an idea why one would work and the other will not? [05:19] Is it theoretical that I could take a 3.5inch sata hdd and hook it up to a laptop with sata cords? [05:20] jack5463, it has to do with the flash software, try other drivers [05:21] Okay, firefox was downloading a 600 meg file, deleted the file from desktop accidently and cleared the trash. File downloaded and lsof showed it was downloaded (deleted) file is gone but so is the 700 megs of drive space, anyone know how to get it back? [05:21] jack5463, you have 64 bit machine? [05:22] mezquitale, 32 bit [05:22] n1lqj: du -sh ~/.mozilla [05:23] jack5463, here's your answer, it's a known bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+2.0/+bug/410407\ [05:23] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+2.0/+bug/410407 [05:23] 130M /home/vincent/.mozilla [05:23] n1lqj: du -sh /tmp [05:24] du -sh /tmp [05:24] mezquitale, the url isn't right.. says - There’s no page with this address in Launchpad. [05:24] jack5463, you have compiz enabled? [05:24] here is a screenshot, worth 1000 words [05:25] jack5463, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+2.0/+bug/410407 [05:25] http://vchapman.us:8000/WTF.png [05:26] jack5463: did you enable the medibuntu repos and install ubuntu-restricted-extras and also installed flashplugin-nonfree? if so you may have two flash drivers installed. uninstall the non-free version. [05:26] .. /tmp is 76k [05:26] /home is on its own partition and space is missing on /home partition [05:27] n1lqj: i'm not sure where the temp file could be, then. did you actually check the trash directory? [05:27] vincent@abaddon:~/Pictures$ ls-trash [05:27] vincent@abaddon:~/Pictures$ [05:27] nothing [05:28] Does anyone know a way to run gizmo without it monopolizing the soundcard? [05:28] Acoustyk, pulse audio was supposed to be the answer for that but you can try running it through jack, catch is anything else that uses audio needs to be routed through jack as well [05:30] what jack [05:30] ? [05:30] root@abaddon:/home# find / -name *.iso* -print [05:30] nada [05:30] mezquitale: is it like a physical jack? [05:31] hi [05:31] hello guys, i was wondering, i have a up to date ubuntu server install, and was curious if there was a way for me to launch a dedicated x video session to watch an avi using vlc. im in front of terminals all day, and was wondering if i could finally watch some mythbusters :) thnx in advance for the thought, i know this is a difficult/odd request. even a link that disscusses this would be helpful. [05:32] i want to find mac address from a file using grep how to get this? [05:33] seawollf12: you want to find your own MAC address? [05:33] ya [05:33] seawollf12: ifconfig -a | grep HWa [05:33] gh0st: There is actually a way to watch videos through mplayer in your terminal without X, using the fbdev vo method [05:34] blakkheim: it shows all the mac addresses. [05:34] :soreau Is there any link that you could provide discussing this method? im very intruiged :) [05:34] seawollf12: isn't that what you want? [05:35] gh0st: However, it is only possible with fbcon loaded, so you'd have to be using radeon with kms for example. I don't think nvidia can do it [05:35] I finally got my independent dual monitors running smoothly in beryl [05:35] what i want to exactly get is, i am storing the arping output for a client in a file and from there i want to grep the mac which starts with [ and ends with ] [05:35] I will not go back to one screen!!!! [05:35] it was SO worth the work [05:35] the "work" [05:35] damn, its just some on board chippy's. :( [05:35] lol [05:36] mobius2: I hate to break it to you, but Beryl is way outdated. We've got Compiz++ now. :-\ [05:36] its compiz++ [05:36] "P [05:36] the same project :p [05:36] As in lower case c? [05:36] ! beryl | mobius2 [05:37] mobius2: Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion. New Beryl installs are discouraged. See also !compiz [05:37] lol [05:37] mobius2: beryl != compiz [05:37] blakkheim? [05:37] so [05:37] multiple i2p nodes on single ubuntu install... has anyone done it? [05:38] mezquitale: I looked it up [05:38] hey guys, just at a friends place, trying to boot the live cd (trying to convert him from windows) anyhow, it seems to load, until it gets to the part loading the gdm. i get a pink screen with funny colors, how ever im able to drop to console and run lspci - its a nv28 / geforce4 APG card, anyway i can resolve this display issue ? ive tried to use dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [05:38] Acoustyk, yes, and? [05:39] hyperstream: Have you tried specifying Driver "vesa" in xorg.conf, then restarting gdm? [05:39] mezquitale: kind of sucks. I hope Ubuntu or Gizmo fixes this soon by default. [05:39] any body can tell how to get a pattern from a file using grep [05:39] soreau, i thought karmic didnt have a xorg.conf ? [05:39] hey guys... my automounting dosen't work.. and i can not burn dvds anymore [05:39] mezquitale: re-rouhting all my programs to JACK sounds like a huge pain [05:39] i want to grep the complete word which starts with [ and ends with ] [05:39] Acoustyk, yes, pulseaudio was supposed to be the answer but it fails miserably from my experience [05:40] soreau, ive just done a locate xorg.conf and there isnt one ? [05:40] Acoustyk, youre using karmic with pulse audio? [05:40] anyone any idea [05:40] hyperstream: For proprietary drivers, X needs a conf file to be told which driver to load and how. Open drivers do not require a conf file with newer versions of X since X is good enough at guessing how to set up cards that have open driver support [05:41] hyperstream: If there is no xorg.conf in /etc/X11, create a default one with Xorg -configure [05:41] mezquitale: Yeah and pulseaudio actually did solve a lot of issues but there's always something [05:41] Kismet, what is the output of df -h? [05:41] soreau, this is just the live cd (try ubuntu without installing) [05:41] soreau, ok one sec [05:41] ? [05:41] hyperstream: You said you could get to a console though [05:41] ? [05:41] ? [05:41] seawollf12: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:42] soreau, yes via CTRL + ALT F1 [05:42] Acoustyk, with pulse audio an application is not supposed to hog the audio card but apparently pulse audio is still not working as expected in ubuntu [05:42] ? [05:42] hyperstream: From there, stop gdm then run Xorg -configure to get a default conf file, then in the Device section put a line Driver "vesa" and restart gdm [05:43] soreau, thanks mate, giving that a shot now. [05:43] mezquitale, something like Filesystem .... /dev/sda1 Size 8.5 gb used 3.5 avail 4.3g [05:43] Acoustyk, mezquitale i gotta say Pulse seems MUCH better under Lucid then it ever did under Karmic [05:43] how do i start compiz fusion from the command line? [05:43] mezquitale: Figures. I wish they'd fix it because I have no service at home and I'd like to run Gizmo on my comp so I can make and receive calls here [05:43] artistx: compiz & [05:44] #cedega === gokturk is now known as Guest1563 [05:44] artistx, from a terminal you mean? "compiz --replace" [05:44] ZykoticK9: I've had the same experience with both. [05:44] ZykoticK9: The --replace is not needed since the ubuntu wrapper script takes care of that for you [05:44] * JBS This channel has become desynched. Please help us re-synch the channel by typing /server synchronize [05:44] Acoustyk, really? hum, i'm finding it much less annoying [05:44] soreau, good to know, thanks [05:45] anyone know a torrent client capable of running a .sh file upon completetion of a torrent [05:45] ZykoticK9: the only issue I have is with Gizmo [05:45] soreau, i just replace the "nv" with "vesa" and continued to restart the service( also tried its suggestion with X -config /home/ubuntu/xorg.conf.new ) just getting a black screen [05:45] Acoustyk, i don't even know what Gizmo is... googling now :) [05:45] Kismet, if you cant burn dvds it looks like it's because you only have 4.3 gigs available but if you look at /var/log/messages you might get a better a clue of why it's failing [05:46] ZykoticK9: Haha, I use it with google voice. [05:46] soreau, wait, the service gdm start is still a pink flashing screen [05:46] What is the command for updating without the update manager? [05:46] ZykoticK9: It's useful in that way. [05:46] hyperstream: Did you make sure to cp the file with the vesa driver to /etc/X11/xorg.conf? [05:46] mezquitale, the problem is that i even can not start the application or with brasero i can not choose my dvd rom drive [05:47] Acoustyk, nice - I didn't know there was a functioning GoogleVoice client undre linux - very good to know [05:47] can anyone answer me? [05:47] soreau, you are my god. [05:47] Kismet, you didnt see anything interesting in /var/log/messages? [05:47] LavaEagle: apt-get update [05:47] user1: just ask your question [05:48] mezquitale, if i try cd/dvd creator oi get the error message "Nautilus cannot handle "burn" locations." [05:48] !anyone | user1 [05:48] user1: 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? [05:48] ty! [05:48] ZykoticK9: It's incredibly convenient save the sound card issue. [05:48] why would sound keep dying ? [05:48] mezquitale, nope nothing what was written recently [05:48] after editing pdf with flpsed i am unable to open it with adobe acrobat on windows while it opens on evince linux. [05:48] hyperstream: If you would like to go a step further, and the machine has internet access: Install the nvidia driver (sys>admin>hardware drivers) and when it tells you to reboot, don't reboot but instead restart gdm/X again [05:48] how do i resolve this [05:49] hyperstream: This way, you can show off 3D (compiz) effects [05:49] Kismet, i suggest you look at the forum or launchpad then, or you could try the room at another time and hopefully someone who's had the same problem can help you? The problem I had was that I didnt have enough free space on my machine [05:49] LavaEagle: that will just update the list of packages. You may want apt-get upgrade to actually install the newest packages. Check man apt-get [05:49] user1: that sucks. One possibility is to import the PDF into a program such as Inkscape or OpenOffice and then re-export it. Assuming that process maintains your formatting sufficiently, it might produce a better end-result. [05:50] mezquitale, thank you for your time.... [05:50] Im having a majour issue with a bug that causes random lock ups which i can only solve by reboot , Nothing in logs , What are my options? [05:50] Kismet, no problem [05:50] soreau, thanks mate, ill install off this live cd first then repeat the steps to fix the display then ill continue to install the restricted drivers :) [05:50] soreau, thanks a mil. [05:50] jellow_: Personally, I usually cry when I'm in that situation. Have you been able to reproduce the lockup? [05:50] hyperstream: Even better. No problem. [05:50] jellow_, youre using karmic? [05:51] ryanprior: how do i import pdf to openoffice writer. there is no option! [05:51] user1, i don't belive you can, i know the export - but doubt the import [05:52] help me ! HELP ME! audio dies intermittently for no apparent reason, its not the hardware because on windows it worked fine [05:52] ryanprior: No very hard to see any thing in common , Usualy its fine for first few days then gerneraly get worse but this could be just me [05:52] Trying to learn how to script in terminal... Any recommended guides? [05:52] user1: I don't see an import option in OOo either. Try Inkscape. [05:52] how to install .deb package from a http link from terminal? [05:53] mezquitale: yes [05:53] someboady? [05:53] jellow_: In your situation, inbetween tears, I would tend to suspect hardware issues. Do you have a particular reason not to? [05:53] somebody* [05:54] anyway to roll back my firefox to 3.5? [05:54] i'm trying to get aircrack working; it says i dont have driver sources installed or something; how/where can i install the sources for my wifi driver? [05:54] #ubuntu-tr [05:54] ryanprior: it seems to work fine in windows *shivers* [05:54] Where do i find flashplugin-nonfree / flashplugin-installer so I can remove it? [05:54] theCarpenter: aircrack-ng.org will tell you everything you need to know [05:54] theCarpenter: Aircrcak has a list of supported wi-fi cards on their homepage [05:54] #pardus [05:54] how to install .deb package from a http link from terminal? [05:55] dingdong: dpkg -i package.deb [05:55] dingdong: wget http://your-package.deb && dpkg install your-package.deb [05:55] jellow_: How about the LiveCD? Other versions of Ubuntu? Knoppix? [05:55] jellow_, what I would do is try another version of ubuntu. 8.04 would most likely work, or jaunty. I had a very bad experience with jaunty, my desktop would lock up randomly, intrepid was fine and karmic plays nice with my machine [05:56] ryanprior, oh so it can be done only by issuing 2 commands.. anyway thx. [05:56] mezquitale, Where do i find flashplugin-nonfree / flashplugin-installer so I can remove it? [05:56] , i tried that but for this i hv to download the file first and then issue this command. [05:57] dingdong: there might be a one-shot way to do it, but I'm not aware of one. :-) [05:57] minderaser: can I "man anycommand" ? and get the manual or will -h --help do the same thing? [05:57] presshere, found a fix for the synaptics driver [05:57] ryanprior mezquitale, No i only ever tried ubuntu , But come to think of it livecd never crashed [05:57] jack5463: Try in the synaptic package manager [05:57] ryanprior, ok [05:57] :D [05:57] dingdong: ryanprior told you how to do it using wget [05:57] k4rt33k, It's not there [05:57] jack5463: you will find which version of it is installed and remove it [05:58] mezquitale: il try few of the other releases but i has same issue on 9.04 [05:58] soreau, yeah but then again i hv to use 2 commands, i was thinking like there will be a command which will installa package from internet like this apt-get do [05:58] :D [05:58] help me ! HELP ME! audio dies intermittently for no apparent reason, its not the hardware because on windows it worked fine, it just stops randomly, sometimes it plays fine, sometimes it stops after an hour, sometimes in 5 mins [05:58] Hi friends varmı among you who understand from Cedega [05:58] ? [05:59] Could I say sudo apt-get remove+ vlc which would do the same as sudo apt-get install vlc? [05:59] dingdong: No, it doesn't work like that. apt-get has specific repos designed especially for ubuntu [05:59] ok. :| [05:59] Guest1563: ask your question please [05:59] dingdong: wget just downloads files. dpkg deals with deb packages directly [06:00] hmmm, i got it.. thx [06:00] :D [06:00] jack5463: try this then apt-cache pkgnames | grep -i flash [06:00] Hi, how can I get 'sudo modprobe ndiswrapper' to run when Ubuntu boots ? [06:00] and try unistalling flash related packages [06:01] LuciusSir: Sounds like an issue with the audio drivers [06:01] but it must show in synaptic as flash is a basic thing [06:01] how to pick a particular word from a file by passing the word no. [06:01] any idea [06:01] soreau: where might a log be stored if they're crashing ? didn't see anything promising under var/log [06:02] seawolf, grep pattern file [06:02] Hi, how can I get 'sudo modprobe ndiswrapper' to run when Ubuntu boots ? [06:02] Yeah, so. I changed sound cards, and the same thing is still happening. [06:02] LuciusSir: It sounds like they might be failing silently (no pun intended) but you can check the output of 'dmesg' right after it happens to see if there are any interesting messages [06:02] Because of crashes , I have segemntaion fault on my ext4, I ran fsck on / and it spent ages correcting , Now i can only get grub rescue prompt , Is there anything i can do with grub rescue ? [06:03] anybody please help me [06:03] "i58: seawolf, grep pattern file" [06:03] seawolf12: grep pattern file [06:04] soreau: nope nothing just kernel boot messages [06:05] LuciusSir: Which audio chipset is it, as reported by lspci? [06:05] i58: my pattern starts with [ and ends with ], but in between there is mac address stored, that i want to pick [06:06] soreau: intel ac'97 [06:06] i also know the word no. it is 10th of the file [06:06] LuciusSir: If you reload the kernel module, does that fix it? [06:06] anyone? [06:06] how to pick by passing word no. [06:06] seawolf: cat yourfile | awk '{print($10)' [06:06] seawolf: cat yourfile | awk '{print($10)}' [06:07] there you go, I missed that "no" meant number [06:07] Can anyone tell me how can I get 'sudo modprobe ndiswrapper' to run when Ubuntu boots ? [06:08] soreau: it fixes itself and then f's up again internittently [06:08] soreau: so my assumption is its doing something...... on its own............. whatever program the audio crash happens in freezes tho [06:08] LuciusSir: Which application(s) are you testing the audio with [06:08] k4rt33k, I tried - apt-cache pkgnames | grep -i flash in terminal and it just gave me a list of terms with flash in them. what am i supposed to do with the list? [06:09] amarok and vlc and dragonplayer [06:09] soreau: all of them, same problem [06:10] My sound is WoW is thoroughly garbled. Anyone have some ideas? [06:10] LuciusSir: Have you checked audio properties, gstreamer-properties etc to see if there is some obvious problem? [06:10] fewf: look into the /etc/rc scripts. you might not need the sudo [06:10] soreau: apparently audio is an issue i've yet to tackle, because no i don't even know what to look at in that case [06:10] exit [06:11] why i cannot enable visual effects? [06:11] Anyone know how to mute sound coming from the microphone from the speakers [06:11] could it be because i run ubuntu from VMware? [06:11] But not from actually being captured by something like Mangler? [06:11] vilkas: Can you pastebin the output of 'compiz &' from your terminal to pastebin.com? [06:11] jellow_, You can try running "ls" to list all partitions that grub can currently see, and then set the $prefix variable if needed, but you are probably better off just re-installing grub from a liveCD if you have one [06:11] vilkas: Yes, it is most definitely because vmware doesn't provide the 3D drivers to run compiz effects [06:12] vilkas: You can either try your luck with vbox, or just install ubuntu already [06:12] sandman: maybe check out http://wiki.jswindle.com/index.php/World_of_Warcraft [06:12] sandman: there are a couple of reasonable-looking suggestions there [06:12] i need windows apps [06:12] thats why i dont install it [06:13] i would hate rebooting every 30mins [06:13] vilkas: you need to enable opengl hardware support in VMware to use visual effects on Ubuntu [06:13] greetings [06:13] vilkas: There is wine to run windoze apps in linux [06:13] vilkas: you might be surprised by how well Ubuntu apps can replace Windows apps, though. [06:13] soreau: i know but not all are awailable [06:13] are there any decent nfs clients for Windows that don't cost a fortune? FOSS preferably..... [06:14] vilkas: Then what ryanprior said [06:14] soreau: under audio output in the multimedia manager it has two sets of audio devices... when i test them none of them work [06:14] vilkas, What type of apps? [06:14] * i58 hasn't needed a windoze app in 8 years :) [06:14] is it possible to launch a game from terminal and control the maximum resolution the program is allowed to envoke this way? [06:14] hi everybody! [06:14] and it cannot run some games :P [06:14] is there a standard way of doing some thing like that or would it be specific to the game? [06:14] LuciusSir: Well if reloading the kernel module fixes it, then it's a driver problem === dingdong is now known as o0o [06:14] i'm ubuntu user from thai [06:14] cool [06:15] #pardus [06:15] Teedev: is it available in Thai? [06:15] #ubuntu-tr [06:15] * mobius2 currently battles with figuring out how to launch the awesome game "astromenace" but not in full screen mode ( because I run dualheads ) [06:15] mobius2, The game probably has a flag to set the resolution, if you *really* need to you can use a nested X server like xephyr to force it to a separate window, which you can then make full screen and control as you wish, but that's almost certainly overkill [06:16] whenever I try to change the settings in game i literally cannot navigate back through the darn menus [06:16] my name's Teedev. [06:16] its as if the way back the main game menu is GONE :p [06:16] I know it sounds lame [06:16] Uh. Can Ubuntu somehow reset the BIOS? [06:16] soreau: you mean from the cmdline ? [06:16] soreau: like rmmod and insmod ? [06:17] Because mine just went back to defaults and it wasn't good, had to reconfigure stuff. [06:17] LuciusSir: rmmod and modprobe, but yes [06:17] mobius2, consider adding a NULL entry to your xorg.conf - when you start games it can turn one monitor off and run fullscreen in the other, very handy for gaming [06:17] #cedega [06:17] i cant find opengl options in VMware Player. only 3d accelerator which is enabled. [06:17] by_reis: You forgot /join [06:17] well Zykitic K9 I would you see but it's not even using the old xorg anymore... and I dun blame you for overlookin it I was not aware of that fact until about 10 minutes ago myself [06:18] vilkas: You will find little or no support for 3D in vmware under windows [06:18] ubuntu karmic does not even use a xorg.conf file [06:18] Can anyone help me out a quickie? I want someone to test if thay can reach my login with SSH === o0o is now known as obscurant1st [06:18] loooool [06:18] not with THAT name [06:18] theadmin, Only by reflashing it, and you would know if you had done that. [06:18] m0ar: ip? [06:18] mobius2, karmic WILL infact use an xorg.conf if you set it up - but i take it you aren't using nvidia so i'm probably not the right person to help ya [06:18] Jordan_U: Uh, I just shutdown yesterday [06:19] m0ar, k [06:19] ip? [06:19] Jordan_U: And today it went to defaults, including system time, so Ubuntu complained "Last mount time is in future" and I had to fsck to fix it [06:19] Zykotick9 I was really just too scared to over ride all those bad@55 settings from compiz [06:19] but thanks for the input [06:19] more than i ususally get :p [06:19] What are the programming languages needed to beocome an ubuntu developer [06:20] a time machine [06:20] soreau: won't let me says they're in use [06:20] LuciusSir: Have you tried googling about your issue? [06:20] theadmin, Probably a bad cmos battery or similar, definitely a hardware issue [06:20] hkbkdc: gtk, qt, c, c++, python, perl depending what package you are maintaining [06:20] Jordan_U: Battery? o_O [06:20] soreau: yeah because i know thats everone's magic answer LOL [06:20] LuciusSir: Sometimes it helps if you use some key strings from lspci, with keywork linux or ubuntu [06:21] Does ubuntu apply distro-specific patches to GDM ? [06:21] gangil: yes [06:22] theadmin, Even desktop computers have a small battery that keeps the clock running and often is needed to keep settings, if somehow power is lost the date/time and all settings will be lost [06:22] HI all I just downloaded the AMD 64 bit ISO from the site and was going to try installing it but had a few concerns . One is Pulseaudio, Does it work fine on most systems or requires a lot of configuration to get correct? [06:22] i've rebooted into a live cd, but i'm unable to resize one of my partitons, help: [06:22] help? * [06:22] can you point me as to how can I apply them? and where can I find them? [06:22] Jordan_U: Strange... But this computer is old. [06:22] iceroot: ^ [06:22] gangil: They are mainly all built-in I believe [06:22] objorn: do you have space to resize it, if you are trying to enlarge it? [06:22] soreau: yes i do [06:23] Filled-Void, It works fine on most systems, but problems are common enough that you may run into them. [06:23] gangil: they are in the deb-files [06:23] over 15gb unallocated [06:23] obiwan_: Have you not hit the max size, before needing to create an extended partition? [06:23] has anyone in here ever installed ubuntu to a dell inspiron 1525? how did it go? [06:23] Jordan_U, Would it be easily fixable? :D [06:23] soreau: i don't know what you are talking about [06:24] iceroot: theadmin: I was trying to make some changes to the gdm source , and then I reinstalled it (./configure,make , make install) , but after I reinstalled it , it halts during boot after showing the ubuntu logo . I am using Ubuntu 9.10 [06:24] objorn: Oh well, me neither. But you need to provide some more information about your situation and what you're trying to do if you want to get any help [06:24] gangil: Can you reach the console and reinstall GDM from repositories? [06:24] mobius2: I had it on a inspiron m600 - worked like a charm. _Everything_ worked right out of the box [06:25] if i format it from ext4 to ext3 am i liable to lose my files? [06:25] mobius2: Try running a live cd first, if that works well there's no reason an install shouldn't go smoothly [06:25] gangil: apply the ubuntu-patches to the source as well. you find the patch-files in the deb [06:25] theadmin: I can try to do that , but actually I am trying to make changes in source . WHen I asked on the gdm mailing list , they asked me to look into my distro specific patches [06:26] soreau: is there a way i can strip alsa and use oss ? [06:27] Filled-Void, Probably not, sound problems in general are usually hard to fix, this was true before pulseaudio and pulse can actually prevent certain problems that you might otherwise have. Try the liveCD, you can even install apps within the live environment to test them if you want. [06:27] Jordan_U, Im guessing if the live cd works then likely the install will too ? [06:27] LuciusSir: No idea. But that makes me remember that pulseaudio can be problematic too, though not sure if it could cause this kind of issue [06:27] and thanks for the help :) [06:27] Filled-Void, Yes [06:28] soreau: is pulseaudio necessary ? [06:28] iceroot: I am googling it , but am unable to find it , can you provide me with the link .:) [06:28] LuciusSir: There are other options. [06:28] LuciusSir: No. [06:28] ! pulseaudio [06:28] PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [06:29] if i want to set keyboard layout to chinese language how do i that [06:30] hey [06:31] Teedev: Applications -> System -> Preferences -> Keyboard [06:32] minderaser, i set to chinese but iot show eng language [06:32] minderaser, i set to chinese but it show eng language [06:32] can someone explain IF it's possible to set a "null" item in the displays settings in Compiz ( without xorg.conf) for the purpose of better controlling games which like to start in fullscreen reso? [06:32] Teedev, first, go to system>administration >language support and add chinese [06:33] Acoustyk: ok i am SO confused, i just tested every driver listed in the multimedia system settings window and they worked... and pulseaudio is listed... and it works... 3 devices.... all worked.... but if i try to use them use them they f up.... [06:33] or how to launch a program from terminal with a resolution argument? [06:33] Teedev, after that , right click on desktop panel>add to panel >keyboard indicator [06:33] Teedev: Sorry, that's the extent of my knowledge - I've never had a need to change the keyboard layout. [06:33] Teedev, then select what you want by clicking on that icon [06:33] is it possible to hookup the xbox to my ubuntu box [06:33] Acoustyk: and i have no idea where to look to see whats messing up... [06:33] !xbox [06:33] Teedev, System > Preferences > Keyboard / ibus is probably a good place to start, you can also ask in #ubuntu-cn ( if you can manage to type in chinese to ask there :) [06:33] hellp [06:33] hello* [06:34] Does the newest version of Ubuntu use bash? [06:34] how would i go about hooking up a XBOX360 to my pc running ubuntu karmic 9.10 ... via LAN. [06:34] mobius2, you can only launch with specific resolution if the app/game supports it try running "$command --help" and see if there is a resolution switch you can set. good luck [06:34] mobius2: If you have Detect Outputs enabled, the output strings are ignored. Is there a specific problem you are having with fullscreen games? [06:34] I have a Unix class and we need to do our work in Bash [06:34] rn777, All versions of Ubuntu have used bash as the default shell. [06:34] Thank you. Helps alot [06:35] rn777, np [06:35] LuciusSir: A lot of the time using more than one sound device/program causes the sound card to fail [06:35] rn777: /bin/sh is dash. /bin/bash is bash [06:35] if i remove virtualbox from my system will the hard drives i made with it be immediately available again? [06:35] ZyloticK9 THANKS man and soreau, my specific problem is that on the open source game ( Astro Menace ) like to start maximized to "full screen on " and of course since I just got my coveted dual heads working independantly it's causing all kinds of weirdness [06:35] Oh! thank i will set it [06:35] Thanks. I'll remember that if I need it later [06:36] binMonkey: remove, no. purge, probably. [06:36] Acoustyk: so how do i limit access ? [06:36] soreau, i want it to start in a smaller reso like on ONE screen [06:36] mobius2: What do you mean 'working independently' and what kind of weirdness? [06:36] LuciusSir: Ubuntu is notorious for having issues with sound, namely that the card is monopolized (fought for) by many different apps/devices [06:37] mneptok: i always 'remove --purge'. how can i check? [06:37] binMonkey, if it doesn't remove the virtual hard drives when you remove the file, then just rm -r ~?.Virtualbox (warning: this will remove ALL virtual hard disks and vbox configuration files) [06:37] Acoustyk, says who [06:37] soreau, please forgive my convoluted questions, I really need to know how to make a game called "Astro Menace" start up in a less-than-fullscreen mode [06:37] that should say rm -r ~/.Virtualbox. sorry [06:37] mobius2: So, I'm guessing it starts across both of your screens? [06:37] Acoustyk: so what you're saying is i got to live with it ? [06:37] d9500: and the formatting that vbox did won't matter? [06:37] soreau, PRECISELY [06:38] binMonkey: those are files. not physical devices. [06:38] indus: Volumes of forum posts [06:38] mobius2: Q: Does this work as you would expect, without compiz enabled? [06:38] It's never caused any problems on any distro that I've ran virtualbox on. And I routinely remove old virtual hard disks even while vbox is installed [06:38] LuciusSir: No there are options [06:38] Acoustyk, most of them are minor config issues [06:38] mneptok: i kind of thought so, but i wasn't sure. thanks a lot for the help!!!!! [06:38] but hmm [06:39] LuciusSir: You may need to try configurations other than pulseaudio [06:39] soreau, it works fine in single monitor [06:39] mobius2: That doesn't answer the question [06:39] indus: but quite a few aren't [06:39] ohh sorry yes it works fine without compiz [06:39] Acoustyk: what is something other than pulseaudio, and wtf is pulseaudio ? i thought the kernel module is what backended the device.... [06:39] Acoustyk, yes, anyways what is LuciusSir issue [06:40] indus: I'll admit that I have had very limited issues with Karmic tho [06:40] mobius2, really? i wouldn't expect compiz to make any difference... hummm [06:40] !pulse | LuciusSir [06:40] LuciusSir: PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [06:40] mobius2: That is strange, because compiz shouldn't make a difference with regards to this [06:40] LuciusSir, well, pulse gives the applications access to sound instead of apps directly accessing hardware [06:40] indus: ahhhhhhhhhhhh it does multiplexing ? [06:40] Zykotic9 yes it works in compiz, the game will run whether compiz is enabled or not, however if the dual ( non mirrored ) output is enabled, then the game starts up stretched up across both screns [06:41] !tab > mobius2 [06:41] mobius2, please see my private message [06:41] LuciusSir, hence, for the first time ever on ubuntu since 8.04, you could run a game and a music player with sound from both sources playing simultaneously [06:41] indus: so whats an alternative example ? [06:41] mobius2, i'm actually downloading it as we speak [06:42] LuciusSir, before that, apps needed exclusive access to hardware, and yes it does multitasking [06:42] LuciusSir, the pulseaudio wiki is a good place to start for you [06:42] ZykoticK9, I think you wil find it's a nice game and worth the effort [06:42] LuciusSir, what are you looking for exactly? [06:42] indus: something that doesn't screw up my audio LOL [06:42] lol for lack of a better word [06:42] what's a program that will allow me to play a sound from one speaker at a time? i have a feeling my rear speakers might be a little lower than my fronts [06:42] indus: so an alternative to pulseaudio that makes my apps work [06:42] LuciusSir, alsa [06:42] mobius2: What we are trying to get you to see, is that this is not an issue with compiz, but rather, the way the driver and X represents your workspace, and that the game makes assumptions based on this information [06:43] soreau, I am aware of this fact [06:43] LuciusSir, dont you have audio on your system? what version of ubuntu are you using [06:43] mobius2: So why are you targeting compiz output settings? [06:43] mobius2, i still think that creating an xorg and adding a NULL option is your best bet [06:43] LuciusSir: Mez recommended that I use JACK earlier. I'm having a similar problem. I've never used it though. [06:43] mezquitale, I deleted swfdec flash player and installed adobe and now flash works. [06:44] Zykotic9, I am not familiar or nearly adept enough to work with xorg.conf manually\ [06:44] indus: I have audio, but it dies randomly and comes back just as randomly [06:44] !tab > mobius2 [06:44] LuciusSir, what is the hardware you have, what version ubuntu etc [06:44] what's a program that will allow me to play a sound from one speaker at a time? i have a feeling my rear speakers might be a little lower than my fronts. like in windows 7 you can open up the audio settings and click on a speaker and itll play a sound from that speaker [06:44] I want to associate mms:// with gnome-mplayer so that perhaps google-chrome will see the association, any help? gnome desktop btw [06:44] mobius2: You could write a script, that uses xrandr to clone outputs before starting the game, and expand them into dual head config after the game is finished running, assuming you use graphics drivers that have xrandr support [06:45] dandaman, easy , do it from alsamixer [06:45] dandaman, alsamixer-gui [06:45] soreau, I am not so much "targeting" the compiz settings, I am simply trying to launch the GAME in a less-than-fullscreen output resolution, in an attempt to have the game display in a windowed panel [06:45] kk [06:45] indus: newest version of kubuntu, and intel ac'97 [06:45] mobius2: That is the wrong way to think about it [06:45] dandaman, or use the audio properties panel , easy [06:46] indus: dont think there is that option in the audio props [06:46] soreau, I think i understand.... [06:46] LuciusSir, i mean, laptop/desktop? which motherboard [06:46] dandaman, in output its there [06:46] dandaman, select 5 channel or something [06:46] indus: that can only balance left and right, cant screw with rear and front [06:46] soreau, I think I will just disable compiz effects when I want to play this game :P [06:46] mobius2: I believe all graphics drivers capable of running compiz have xrandr support, except nvidia [06:46] indus: there is no place to choose how many channels [06:47] it does make thigs look the way i want them too [06:47] dandaman, in hardware first select it properly [06:47] dandaman, in hardware see? [06:47] As Im installing Ubuntu on an extra computer can anyone recommend cool uses for a linux machine? [06:47] sorry indus, do you mean right click the volume setting and hitting volume preferences? [06:47] dandaman, ya [06:47] Besides unix homework [06:48] soreau, be advised that this game depends on a libAL which can be found here http://packages.debian.org/etch/libopenal0a [06:48] indus: yeah so i went to hardware [06:48] indus: desktop, and OMFG I'M GONNA SCREAM, I TRY TO REMOVE THE DAMN SOUND DAEMON SO I CAN SELECT AN ALT AND IT PRACTICALLY MARKS EVERYTHING FOR UNINSTALLATION [06:48] rn777: Running a server, for instance :D I mean, running server soft on windows is a bleh [06:48] theadmin: seconded [06:48] dandaman, man, ubuntu sucks, it was there in older version for sound channels [06:48] indus: nothing to choose how many channels [06:48] which is the correct method for associating mms with an app, uri/mms or url/mms ? [06:48] rn777: youb want something cool on linux? use compiz with max settings [06:48] Whats compiz? [06:48] mobius2: openAL has little or nothing to do with graphics [06:48] indus: damn :( got any other idea of what i can do? [06:48] ! compiz | rn777 [06:48] rn777: Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz [06:48] !compiz | nixjr [06:48] nixjr: Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz [06:48] soreau, you are correct, however the game will not install without it :p [06:49] dandaman, use alsamixer , [06:49] iceroot: Fail? :) [06:49] mobius2: I do not see where this information is relevant [06:49] soreau: some kind of... [06:49] soreau, just lettin ya know [06:49] jack5463, awesome! did you follow the bug report in launchpad? Now if you have anymore issues with ubuntu tackle them one by one and pretty soon your rig will be up and running without a glitch! [06:49] soreau, I thought you were installing the game... [06:49] rn777: have a look at youtube what compiz and the cube are [06:49] Alright [06:49] yep... compiz kicks tail [06:49] rn777: Well, to be simple, decorations [06:49] indus: i think there might be something wrong with my driver, i think that it might only be assuming its a 2 channel system [06:50] its still playing on 4 speakers [06:50] dandaman, no i too have this problem [06:50] but i think the rear is weaker and surround is all the way on [06:50] mobius2: I have no idea what gave you that impression, but if you use nvidia I think you are SOL [06:50] indus: so no fix :( ? [06:50] dandaman, did you try alsamixer, itworks , type in terminal i told you [06:50] d9500: and mneptok , thanks for the help. [06:50] i do not use nvidia [06:50] indus: yeah im in the alsa mixer gui [06:50] soreau, I will pastebin my GPU one moment pls [06:50] indus: i have 4 columns, 2 under master, 2 under capture [06:50] dandaman, there you will find everythinh including setting 6 ch [06:50] dandaman, scroll to right you will see [06:51] mobius2: Then use a script to use xrandr to enable clone mode before the game starts and restore dual config afterward [06:51] mobius2, in the game did you try changing the resolution? mine started on both monitors (as that was the set resolution) but lowering the resolution to a single monitor resolution shut off the 2nd monitor? [06:51] indus: there is no where to scroll [06:51] mobius2: That is my best suggestion to you [06:51] dandaman, help yourself here , just move to right however it provides [06:51] Wow thats pretty cool. So its some programing api for making graphical desktop effects? [06:52] use arrow keys [06:52] Zykotick9 ...after you changed the resolution in the games settings.. HOW did you get back to the MAIN menu of the game to START the game? [06:52] oh you mean the capture bars [06:52] yes [06:52] ZykoticK9, i think im getting a "continue" button cut off or something [06:52] mobius2, it automatically went back to the main menu i think - i'll try again [06:52] ZykoticK9, thankyou [06:53] rn777: Nah, just a premade desktop effect set, you can choose what you like [06:53] indus: playing with the capture bars does nothing [06:53] ZykoticK9, for instance there is a full screen to OFF setting [06:53] rn777: System -> Appearance -> Desktop Effects, all there [06:53] dandaman, use the arrow keys right and move and you will find it man [06:53] ZykoticK9, however it just toggles and im stuck staring at that screen! [06:53] Cool, thanks [06:53] rn777: Err, system -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Desktop effects [06:54] dandaman, depending on whether your sound card supports it [06:54] indus: it supports 4 channel in windows [06:54] sudo lshw -C video out put is here http://pastebin.com/m2d255661 [06:54] dandaman, and here? [06:54] indus: i don't know, i guess thats my problem [06:54] mobius2, there is an apply at the bottom, when i click that it actually quasi-restarts the game (but again, because of my NULL setting in xorg i'm only see 2 resolution - dual monitor & 1280x1024) [06:54] dandaman, it should here also [06:54] indus: how do i get linux drivers for my sound card? [06:54] it appears as if i don't have them [06:55] dandaman, try the alsamixer-gui , install it [06:55] dandaman, what sound card? [06:55] ZykoticK9, where at the bottom right or left or center? [06:55] dandaman, check under the command lspci [06:55] mobius2, lol brb [06:55] indus: i'm in it, its the sound card on my mobo, dont e ven know, k ill check lspci [06:55] ZykoticK9, thanks so much [06:56] indus: 01:00.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc HD48x0 audio [06:56] dandaman, hmm a radeon 4850? [06:56] dandaman, dont use that, use the one on the motherboard [06:56] that's my gfx card [06:56] ndiswrapper error bcmwl5 : driver installed [06:56] device (14E4:4311) present (alternate driver: wl) [06:56] dandaman, yes but it has support for HD audio dont you know? [06:56] i only have one sound card, the one on my mobo [06:56] The installation of what program package is likely to have installed the DEB program package 'postfix' on my Karmic computer? (I did not install the DEB program package 'postfix' directly.) [06:57] how do i get rid of alternate driver wl [06:57] indus: had no idea, regardless i am using the mobo [06:57] mobius2, when i go into option there is a Main Menu at the bottom, when i click next/previous on the resolution that MM button at bottom splits into 2 and the button on the right side is apply (left is main menu) < did that make sense?

KCMShell is a small utility to host KDE control modules independently of SystemSettings. from api.kde.net [08:21] dman777: man kcmshell [08:21] my lpi book saids kcmshell4 kdm is a tool that can be used to configure the GDM login screen.

[08:22] dman777: ask in #kubuntu its a kubuntu command did you know [08:22] dman777, the book is correct only if KDE and Gnome are both actually installed at the same time - which is questionable [08:22] mint_, no need for sarcasm eh [08:23] unop: thank you [08:23] dman777: i just googled adn goit this in 2 secs http://api.kde.org/4.0-api/kdebase-runtime-apidocs/kcmshell/html/index.html [08:24] how do i update my ati drivers? [08:25] if a file is owned by www-data and my user (infid) doesn't have permissions to write to the file, and i use sudo to open/write to the file, it maintains www-data as the owner right? so sudo doesn't change permissions it just lets you edit the file not only as root, but also as other users automatically? [08:25] ie i dont have to 'sudo -u vim file.txt' i can just 'sudo vim file.txt' and it does the same thing? [08:25] dman777: hope that helps you [08:25] MINT_!!!!!! what comand should i use?

[10:11] indus do you want an screenshot? [10:11] Gryphon4, Teffers i have bad news - i don't think ubuntu-restricted-extras downloads/installs like other packages, typically stuff goes to /var/cache/apt/archive but i think U-R-E is different (i could be wrong though, but i think they try to prevent people from actually downloading the packages) [10:11] #help [10:12] X chat をインストールしてみました。初期状態でここに接続されたわ。 [10:12] so i cant download the package [10:12] ? [10:12] Tabmow, i have no idea man (it was just the fact that i had seen your error 2 minutes before you ask) i don't do any Windows stuff AT ALL [10:12] Gryphon4: sudo apt-get --download-only install ubuntu-restricted-extras [10:13] This will work fine, except that actually installing Flash requires an Internet connection. [10:13] indus http://imagebin.org/84029 [10:13] ZykoticK9: Unfortunately I have to use it at work... hence why I need to mount this drive :( [10:13] Gryphon4, to start with it's not one package, it's a whole bunch [10:13] ZykoticK9, When I run it, it just opens firefox, instead of installing it, the upgrade. [10:13] Tabmow, oh i hear you - i just don't have an answer, sorry [10:14] ZykoticK9: no probs, i'll keep looking :) [10:14] wizzo50, what you downloaded WILL NOT INSTALL, just create a launch pointing to that directory/file in your menu (system / preferences / main menu - and add a new item for it) [10:15] s/launch/launcher [10:16] still havign no luck with b43 driver all i get when my wirless card is activated apearin is ppp0 [10:17] ifconfig shows your as ppp0? [10:18] yep and iwconfig states oit isnt a wirless device btu tis thew onyl thing thaty apears after i modprob my card [10:18] ZykoticK9: gparted lists it as an unknown partition, ntfsfix also says that it is corrupt and needs a chkdsk run on it, I guess the ntfs driver for linux is more strict than windows and won't mount it because of that, I might have to take it to a windows machine and run a chkdsk on it I guess... [10:18] teffers,Zykotick9 and rww do any of you no why my 5th generation ipod will not let ubuntu put music on???? [10:18] .

(click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [10:35] Gryphon4: what are you trying to achieve? why do you need to download them without installing? there's been several answers given to you already, what have you tried, what haven't you? why? [10:35] hello [10:36] How to I run my script in the ubuntu terminal [10:36] I used chmod +x [10:36] erUSUL I guess reinstall then is my option... as soon as I achieve desent backup... [10:36] rn777: ./scriptname [10:36] rn777: ./scriptname [10:36] erUSUL: to slow :) [10:36] magicsrv: without knowing what is going on is all i can say. [10:36] iceroot: next time ;) [10:36] yay it worked. Thanks [10:37] Somebody need me, who is that ? [10:37] pepe, hi [10:37] indus [10:37] pepe, i give you another option, type amixer [10:38] see if mic is muted [10:38] if yes i shall tell you what to do [10:38] Is that safe to assign password for root ? [10:38] erUSUL well... nothing's going on actually :) Instead of welcome screen I get a teminal window... gnome is running, but most of the services don't start. There's no login screen... like I'm in the incorrect runlevel or something... I'm not sure really.... [10:38] rumpsy: no [10:38] i hate it when i cant solve some problem ' [10:38] How many kernels is it rational for me to retain? [10:38] Myrtti: Then my system can easily hacked :( [10:38] rumpsy: no [10:38] rumpsy: er, it's more easily hacked if you *HAVE* root password [10:38] magicsrv: tried to pass a filesystem check form a livecd [10:38] ? [10:39] erUSUL not yet. I'm writing down a live-usb as we speak... [10:39] Myrtti: there is possibilities to enter root account using recovery mode right? [10:39] Hello; I've installed Subversion and created a SVN repository via https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Subversion - however, web interface to the SVN works but using a SVN client connections are refused. Any idea's to check? [10:40] rumpsy: yes, but it's also possible to set a password to grub to not allow entry to recovery mode [10:40] !rootshell | rumpsy [10:40] rumpsy: Using !sudo with single commands is preferable in most circumstances. However, if you really need a root shell, use « sudo -i » (other variants of this commands are redundant and/or potentially dangerous) [10:40] Myrtti, ive tryed every thing.i need to use the softwere in a country where there is no internet, so i can just install of the flash. insted of trying to find internet.and ive just started using ubuntu.

[10:40] rumpsy: if someone gets access to your computer physically, you're in trouble anyway [10:41] On launchpad translations how often do the Overall statistics: update? [10:41] pepe, yes wait 1 sec [10:41] magicsrv: it is hard to know. fsck has options to only check the fs and not try to repair nor writte to it [10:41] Machtin, dns is set in /etc/resolve.conf [10:41] magicsrv: you can pass fsck with that options first to see what is wrong [10:41] !offline | Gryphon4, please, please have a look at this [10:41] Gryphon4, please, please have a look at this: If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. Alternatively, try http://apt.alturl.com/ - See also !APTonCD [10:41] pepe, please give me full paste i have to read it [10:41] Myrtti: ya, i got your point,.. but what is the difference between assigning passwd for grub and root [10:42] pepe, use pastebin.org [10:42] magicsrv: becouse automatic repair can damage data or move it around if the fs is in very bad state [10:42] Right Thanks Guys [10:43] ZykoticK9: that's what i thought.. but that doesn't work.. resolv.conf is a link to some file, so vim says it's a new file and when i want to :wq it says it can't write to the linked file. [10:43] Myrtti: i'll be hacked if they broke my grub passwd, and same scenario to root acount [10:43] ZykoticK9: maybe some way to reinitialize the networking as a whole? [10:43] magicsrv: anyway. first try to mount the partition and acceess important data. backup if needed. then try the fsck options (if reallyis a filesystem error which we do not know yet) [10:43] Machtin, ls -l resolv.conf = -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 87 2010-02-07 12:15 resolv.conf < not a link for me [10:43] rumpsy: it's a totally different system. assigning a password to root exposes you to bigger threats than what to recovery console does, in my opinion. Root password can be cracked in more ways than grub password [10:44] Machtin, do you use DHCP? [10:44] lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 Feb 8 16:33 /etc/resolv.conf -> /etc/resolvconf/run/resolv.conf [10:44] yes i do [10:44] indus http://pastebin.org/88777 === Gryphon is now known as Guest5303 [10:44] gryphon [10:44] and i want to set the nameserver to my router's ip adress.. i have some booting issues, that might be why the networking won't work. [10:44] erUSUL I have a problem with the backup thing. I can't access my windows network in order to back my things up... that's why I'm waiting actually... [10:45] i gained access via pump -i eth0, but host doesn't work.. [10:45] Myrtti: Cool, okay let me read about this today @ ubuntu, can you please help me to set password for grub [10:45] Machtin, aren't you on 10.04? i am too, but i don't even have that /etc/resolvconf/run directory??? [10:45] Machtin: easiest way is through nm-applet [10:45] neither do i.. that's the strange thing.. but yes i am on 10.04 [10:45] i am 8.04 [10:46] pingfloyd: knetworkmanager (I'm on KDE) crashes every time i launch it [10:46] me too, 8.04 [10:46] me too, 8.04.4 [10:46] Machtin, are you saying the link doesn't point to an actual file? if not no way you're getting internet. [10:46] i removed a lot programs [10:46] Machtin: the problem is if you edit /etc/resolv.conf it will just get overwritten [10:47] but still less custumized than rh [10:47] Machtin: so you want to put the nameserver settings in whatever app is being used to manage that file [10:47] ZykoticK9: exactly. [10:47] pingfloyd: yes.. but i'm fine with a work around at the moment which just works for this boot. [10:47] Machtin, then just delete it, and put a valid resolv.conf in it's place [10:48] I like to read the messages from the bootprocess, the ones which are displayed on screen and have [OK] ode [FAIL] on the end of the line [10:48] pepe, hi [10:48] pepe, wait 1 sec [10:48] rumpsy: you need to do your own research, I've not set a password on mine, as my system is encrypted all the way. [10:48] pepe, amixer set Mic 80% unmute [10:48] I have just installed Xsensors, a graphical sensor of 'lm-sensors' from the Synaptic (Karmic), but when I am starting the program, it just loading a blank window and that all, how to solve it? [10:48] pepe, now check amixer again [10:48] What precisely is 'autologin' in Ubuntu Karmic? '~$ locate autologin; /etc/pam.d/gdm-autologin'. {pam.d means 'personal authentication module directory'.} '~$ grep -r 'autologin' /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.31/Documentation' does not produce any output. [10:48] Machtin, all that's in my resolv.conf is http://paste.ubuntu.com/372380/ [10:49] How do i remove logon password on ubuntu [10:49] Myrtti: :) [10:49] hi [10:49] Buzza: Please do not do this! [10:49] well i'm looking for howto set grub password, Myrtti [10:49] ZykoticK9: thanks :) [10:49] why? [10:49] indus set mic 80% unmute? how? [10:49] Dose anyone know how i can find and install the other type of online chat and what its called and the chat tha allowes me to talk on other subjects?? [10:49] Machtin: you can just add nameserver x.x.x.x to your /etc/resolv.conf then [10:50] Buzza, I think you can do this if that is your 'personal' computer.... [10:50] Buzza: you can set it to login automatically, but you'll still need the password to install and update the system [10:50] I just wan't it to log strait in and yeah it is my personal computer [10:50] thats ok [10:50] Machtin: you put whatever the ip you want for your dns server there [10:50] pingfloyd: did that, like ZykoticK9 said :) thanks! i had to delete the link [10:50] !nick | Buzza [10:50] Buzza: Your nick is how people know you on IRC. Please don't change your nicknames too often (use /nick newnick), or it creates a lot of confusion. You should also !register your nick with Freenode. [10:50] so how do i do it> [10:51] buzza, go to system>admin> 'Login Screen' and select 'login automatically'. [10:51] I have just installed Xsensors, a graphical sensor of 'lm-sensors' from the Synaptic (Karmic), but when I am starting the program, it just loading a blank window and that all, how to solve it? [10:52] ok thanks hey whats up with the change nick thing i never changed it lol it's been buzza since i got xchat last week [10:52] Myrtti: i agree with you, i don't want to set passwd to root now!... its better idea from you to set pass key for grub :) [10:52] xfact: first run lm-sensors to make sure it's even working [10:52] Dose anyone know how i can find and install the other type of online chat and what its called and the chat tha allowes me to talk on other subjects?? [10:52] indus what did you said? on amixer set 80%?

[10:53] Guest5303: pidgin/empathy can do other protocols, like MSN, Gtalk, ICQ etc [10:53] pingfloyd, I think it is working, because my Gnome applet showing the CPU temperatures etc. [10:53] Thanks man1 [10:53] xfact: that may be using a different facility than lm-sensors [10:54] Machtin, but it's Canadian eh http://paste.ubuntu.com/372384/ [10:54] thanks :) [10:54] Machtin, you have internet? [10:54] xfact: xsensors uses lm-sensors, not sure about the gnome applet. You should run lm-sensors to make sure lm-sensors is working otherwise xsensors will do you no good. [10:54] !sensors [10:54] To access CPU temperature sensors and detect fan speeds, install the lm-sensors package.

My goal is to have Linux running under the hood, but display Windows for my mum to use the machine as a desktop [11:26] the whole system [11:26] I will be back in a minute then [11:26] FuzzyFox0: wait [11:26] A FuzzyFox0!

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [11:29] please my i ask how//??<< [11:29] when i have compiz enabled, although the system is quite fast, programs make a lot of time to show in the screen when they are minimized into the task bar. my card is HD 2600, with 256mb ram. i don't think that the card is powerless for compiz , i have used compiz with 8400 gs without problems [11:29] Guest5303, type this: ----> /join #ubuntu-offtopic [11:29] rumpsy: no luck [11:29] hi [11:29] still not loaded [11:30] everything else is [11:30] FuzzyFox0: what is your lammp dir structure?

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 :) [11:30] FuzzyFox0: what is your lampp dir structure? [11:30] rumpsy: the same as it is in the download straight from apache friends [11:31] FuzzyFox0: tell me the lampp dir structure [11:31] kk [11:31] one sec === XLV_ is now known as XLV [11:31] OK sorry People for disterding every one MY Bad! [11:31] FuzzyFox0: Question -- why LAMP? [11:32] er, the apachefriends distribution* [11:32] MenZa I have used it before [11:32] * MenZa durrhurs. [11:32] MenZa: he likes that [11:32] I had to reinstall ubuntu and now it just wont work [11:32] FuzzyFox0: Why not use MySQL/Apache/PHP straight from the repositories? [11:32] How can I qualify for more linux cd/dvd [11:32] MenZa no experience with it [11:33] hey everyone, can I shrink a partition which I encrypted with luks? [11:33] FuzzyFox0: I installed it without knowing anything about it; it's working amazingly well. :) [11:33] Lampp is pre configured [11:33] FuzzyFox0: its more easy, apache and mysql [11:33] I have used ship it for 1 ubuntu and 1 kubuntu but i won't the kubuntu 9.10 server edition dvd [11:33] SmokeyD: shrinking a partition is never a good idea, an encypted one, very much not [11:33] FuzzyFox0: The LAMP stack in the repositories is pre-configured too [11:33] then how do I set that up? [11:33] Buzza: there is no kubuntu-server [11:33] FuzzyFox0: I'll guide you through it, if you give me a sec to find some coffee -- hold on :) [11:33] i won't ubuntu server [11:33] thanks [11:34] give me a sec to remove lampp [11:34] Buzza: why ? just disabled the desktop on ubuntu [11:34] ikonia: why is it different with an encrypted one? I have resized many partitions without trouble before, and yes I need to backup, I know [11:34] no i won't an actual server computer [11:34] SmokeyD: because the data re-arrangment, [11:34] I'm planning on having a server client and just my laptop on ubuntu [11:34] Buzza: you can still run a aserver as a desktop [11:34] FuzzyFox0: Alright, I'm back. [11:35] one sec [11:35] Buzza: you can also use the desktop CD to run as a serer, it's very good [11:35] FuzzyFox0: Run sudo tasksel -- then select the "LAMP server" and press OK. [11:35] SmokeyD: try it if you want, see how you get on [11:35] kk [11:35] give me a sec [11:35] how [11:35] ? [11:35] Buzza: the desktop and server CD's are the same base ubuntu product [11:35] Buzza: so however you would use "a server", do the same thing on the desktop CD install [11:35] FuzzyFox0: Certainly. I have all the time in the world. :) [11:35] hi everyone [11:35] I won't to use it as a server for halo on windows [11:36] Buzza: anything you can do on the server install you can do on the desktop install [11:36] i'm experimenting on using ssh with my laptop and desktop. why it keeps saying permission denied when i try to save a file? i'm accessing the file through ssh. [11:36] Buzza: The only difference between server and desktop CDs are the software they install; you can convert back and forth betwe3en the two later, no matter which disc originally was used to install. [11:37] MenZa okay [11:37] FuzzyFox0: Right, did you install the lamp stack yet? [11:37] Buzza: Lnux systems (and Ubuntu is included) are open and flexible, not facist a certian flag logo OS [11:37] I hit selected lamp then nothing happend [11:37] the selection close [11:37] FuzzyFox0: You pressed OK? [11:37] segin: no need for silly name calling [11:38] I hit enter after selcecting lamp [11:38] FuzzyFox0: In that case, try sudo tasksel install lamp-server [11:38] though is there a way i can qualify for more cd's? [11:38] now it is installing MenZa [11:38] Buzza: On ShipIt you mean? [11:38] what if i make themes wallpapers is there a way i can trade them for dvd's [11:38] FuzzyFox0: Perfect. :) [11:38] yeah [11:39] Buzza: Become an Ubuntu Member, or ask your local community team. [11:39] Buzza: Try e-mailing shipit@ubuntu.com about that, specifying exactly WHY you need more than one CD. [11:39] shipit.ubuntu [11:39] However, you should, as rww says, contact your LoCo team first. [11:39] I ordered 1 ubuntu and 1 kubuntu [11:39] if I'm using a netbook with and "Atom" processor architecture, should I use amd64 or x86 packages? [11:39] so only 2 but i could do with a 3rd server edition [11:39] MenZa done [11:40] FuzzyFox0: Gimme a sec [11:40] k [11:40] thanks guyz [11:40] kolby: All Atoms work with x86. Some work with amd64 also. === Anthony_ is now known as TeslaTony [11:41] rww, thank you. [11:44] silence maintained [11:44] I can break the silence [11:44] :P lol [11:45] I have a mouse that works great in windows, used to work great in ubuntu... had a HD fail, replaced it, reinstalled windows and ubuntu.... mouse freezes up in ubuntu [11:45] MenZa: so i am guessing I have a mysql db and php5 [11:45] any ideas? [11:45] unfortunately I am at work now so i am just hoping for some people to list off things I can try or test, or required information that I can gather up once I get home [11:45] and that the htdocs folder is now /var/www [11:46] I tried adding 'acpi=force irqpoll' to the kernel line in grub (which is supposed to fix it) but when i do taht ubuntu doesn't boot properly [11:46] Can anyone here give me some help with iptables? Having a problem with --destination-port or -dport paramater. [11:46] cryptk|work: sorry :( i'm not that much familiar [11:46] it shows the white ubuntu logo, then when it is supposed to change to the loading bar it instead go's to a black screen with a blinking _ in the top left corner... [11:47] Stevethepirate: have you tried using something easier like firestarter? or do you have a specific need to work with iptables directly? [11:47] The machine I am working on is a server quite far away. [11:47] And should firestarter kill my ssh connection. [11:47] Going in locally will be a mission [11:47] having a major problem with my resolv.conf file. it keeps losing everything that is in it and i cant connect to the internet...everytime i reboot the machine i have to go in and put the nameservers in again and then restart networking [11:48] Last time I installed firestarter on a server, it added a REJECT ALL rule as a default ;/ [11:48] Stevethepirate: firestarter is a front end gui so it wouldn't help if you are SSHing in [11:48] I know what firestarter is. [11:48] Jimi, are you using dhcp to aquire an IP address? [11:48] But as a default it adds some "not-so-nice-rules" ;/ [11:48] hrm... [11:49] q [11:49] !iptables [11:49] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist [11:49] not sure, I don't do iptables manually [11:49] Heh. [11:49] I just haven't ever had a need... but the link that ubottu has may work [11:49] I've used most of those already ;/ [11:50] i'm experimenting on using ssh with my laptop and desktop. why it keeps saying permission denied when i try to save a file? i'm accessing the file through ssh. [11:51] l3ns: are you trying to save the file to somewhere that the account you are using doesn't have permissions to? [11:51] brb [11:51] hi! is it possible to remotely control a *ubuntu desktop from another *ubuntu computer? [11:52] yes [11:52] cryptk|work, I'm saving the file on the mounted drive. [11:52] ct, yea [11:52] FuzzyFox0: I'm afraid I'm going to have to run out -- check out this resource (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP), set a MySQL root password, and test if it's working with a phpinfo.php file in /var/www -- I'm sorry :( [11:52] l3ns: does the account you are using to log in have permissions to that location? [11:52] preferences > remote desktop [11:52] it's a vnc server. [11:52] cryptk|work, yep i'm the owner/root [11:52] if you were to log in on the destination computer using that account, can you save things there? [11:53] l3ns: are you SSHing in as root? [11:53] ubuntu by default has the root account disabled, you would need to use sudo to get "root permissions" [11:53] cryptk|work, yes, i'm ssh'ng as root [11:53] if you can't ssh as root and you have sudo you can do that also. [11:53] is the root account on the destination computer enabled? [11:54] cryptk|work, i tried sudo gedit filename and able to edit the file, but not saving it [11:54] hrm...

[12:06] when you connect, you should get an option to view only. be sure it's not checked.

[12:09] bazhang: :) [12:10] hi all [12:10] hi [12:10] creeper [12:10] got a question for ubuntu 9.10 [12:10] shoot. [12:10] i have a script for dns updating [12:10] fdlinux: just ask === james is now known as Guest5376 [12:11] and in that script i want to $wanip [12:11] how can i set $wanip to show the result of a script [12:11] hi anyone have any ideas how to use my iphone with ubuntu [12:11] i have don't it couple of years ago , but forgot it [12:12] hi anyone have any ideas how to use my iphone with ubuntu [12:12] faheem_: easiest and probably the best thing ot do, if you got enough RAM and such, would be to run a Windows virtual machine for it [12:12] you want the result of a script to be assigned to $wanip fdlinux? [12:12] so that comand $time results script wanip [12:12] yes [12:12] $wanip i mean [12:13] sebsebseb, i have, but i dont wanna download an entire windows iso :/ [12:13] hi anyone have any ideas how to use my iphone with ubuntu [12:13] faheem_: you can't just use an iphone with Ubuntu or any other Linux distro [12:13] faheem_: since Apple do not support Desktop Linux [12:14] sebsebseb, .... life sucks :( [12:14] sebsebseb, any idea if theirs a jailbreak software for ubuntu? [12:14] faheem_: well that's one way to probably get it working, but shoudn't really do that, since as far as I know it will brake your Apple warranty for example [12:15] greets guys. i need somekind of process that continously watches a folder and does actions on the files therein. this needs to be one process, therefore it can't be a cronjob. is there a word for such a thing? [12:15] sebsebseb: you know what i mean? [12:15] or do i need to do some clever bashing to see whether the one script is still busy or not. [12:15] sebsebseb, wats ur way his warranty isnt worth it [12:16] DysonReturns: use incron [12:17] its due to issue's like this ubuntu suffers with the average user :/ [12:17] hey folks, is there some sort of way to update my package downloading sources to include more recent versions than what i'm seeing in the package manager? [12:17] i'm not sure if my terminology is anywhere near correct :D [12:17] faheem_: fdlinux I don't have an Iphone, I have just read some stuff. Also it's better to buy more open hardware, an Android Phone for example. [12:18] sebsebseb, unfortunatly as far andorid kinda sucks :) [12:18] thulsa: ubuntu isn't a rolling release distro, the updates to packages are done on each release every six months, apart from security updates. There are some methods to update specific packages, are you after something specific? [12:19] faheem_: compared to what? [12:19] chetnick, to iphone... [12:19] !ot [12:19] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [12:19] wonder nexus one will be kewl :/ [12:19] Myrtti: well, i was looking at audacious, but the provided .deb isn't the 2.2 release... it's still, i think it was 1.7 or soemthing [12:19] faheem_: fdlinux I know this jail brake stuff is pretty common knowledge now days that it can be done, there has been stuff in the media about it. However as far as I know it's still not meant to be done, and not just, because someones Apple warranty might brake as a result. [12:20] thulsa: you're on jaunty or something older? [12:21] i've recently re-installed, but in my original install someone had provided me with some more software sources to plug into the package manager [12:21] can someone help me to install some drivers for 9.10 on a dx2000 [12:21] Myrtti: aye, jaunty [12:21] intel graphics drivers [12:21] Jimi_Neutral, drivers for what [12:21] Jimi_Neutral, from the xorg-edgers PPA? [12:21] bazhang, intel gfx.....its confusing the hell outta me [12:21] i donno what is dx2000 [12:22] compaq dx2000 [12:22] thulsa: karmic has 2.1 though. [12:22] Jimi_Neutral, install from where specifically. [12:22] fdlinux, I sent you a message [12:22] hi people! I'm sharing my internet connection through auth0, the ethernet cable. Is it possible to somehow limit the bandwidth for auth0, so that the other comp. wouldnt be able to consume all my bandwidth? [12:22] bazhang, i have no idea, i used to be a windows user, this is new to me [12:22] ah, so my software sources are also limited by having a lower release? [12:23] Jimi_Neutral, you wish to install which drivers? what card do you have and what version of ubuntu are you on [12:23] faheem_: Buy supported by Linux hardware, or get issue's, it's as simple as that. [12:23] thulsa: as I said, the packages are updated by every release, so you get newer software with newer release [12:23] Something way creepy just happened. System froze, REISUB or Ctrl+Alt+F1 or similar NOT working, Caps Lock and Scroll Lock lamps blinking, what the? [12:23] theadmin: kernel panic [12:23] theadmin: hey o/ [12:23] but time to move now:) [12:24] bazhang, i have a compaq dx2000, im on 9.10 and the card is intel on board, but i am having trouble finding out what one exactly, i downloaded a gnome device manager but ut just tells me it is intel [12:24] Myrtti: o_O What could possibly cause it... was doing nothing related to system that closely, just modifying /etc/hosts a bit. [12:24] Jimi_Neutral: sudo lspci -vv [12:24] Jimi_Neutral, please inform the channel of your specific model and what particular issues you are having. [12:25] bazhang, i am having trouble finding the model because the gnome device wont tell me and the issue is i need to download and install the drivers [12:25] theadmin: it's hard to tell. I had kernel panic yesterday and haven't figured out myself either what caused it [12:25] Jimi_Neutral, try lspci in the terminal [12:25] Jimi_Neutral: if you've got an intel card, it's likely that you already have the best possible drivers in your use. what makes you think you need to download and install them? [12:26] bazhang, yerah just looking at that === feisar is now known as Guest87891 [12:26] Myrtti: That's dangerous right? [12:26] Myrtti, cause it doesnt look like the other box that is on the same hardware [12:26] Myrtti: interesting, i had no idea. i figured access to software would be something that wasn't limited to what release you were using... but then, i guess with the way that .deb packages work (i'm new to linux and just starting to understand everything) [12:26] Anyone know how to create a transparent panel over cairo dock so that I don't have a huge black square on the bottom of the screen? [12:26] bazhang, 82865G Intergrated GFX Controller [12:27] Myrtti: but thank you for taking a moment :) [12:28] theadmin: again, hard to tell [12:29] Jimi_Neutral: when you run "sudo lspci -k" you will see driver in use. [12:30] how to go to compiz room ? [12:30] Jimi_Neutral: if no driver or module is listed, than you will need a driver. [12:30] chetnick, kernel driver in us: i915 [12:31] i want to joiin the compiz room, how to do it ? [12:31] Jimi_Neutral: so you are good to go. [12:31] Jimi_Neutral: no need to install.

[12:32] chetnick: How old? [12:32] Johnny1: what is the current version?

Is it possible to somehow limit the bandwidth for auth0, so that the other comp. wouldnt be able to use up all my bandwidth? [12:36] Cyboth: You'll need to free up space on your hard drive by resizing you ubuntu partions, then install windows and then reconfigure your grub, its normally easier to install windows first, then ubuntu, but it can be done the other way round. Make sure you've got backups of anything you need to save from your ubuntu partition before resizing just in case something goes wrong [12:38] hello guys, how do u move a directory mv -r dir?

Am looking for a command where I can see hardware information. Like CPU, memory, disks and so on. What is the command? [12:57] lshw [12:57] blinkiz: try lshw and lspci [12:57] blinkiz, sudo lshw [12:57] theadmin, No, it's not the one am looking for [12:57] Whit this command, is possible to see which memory slots is allocated in a machine [12:58] blinkiz: cat /proc/meminfo [12:58] iceroot, No, that is only memory info. Not hardware info === faheem_ is now known as _DarkStar_ [12:58] blinkiz, cat /proc/cpuinfo for cpu [12:59] blinkiz: then use hwinfo or cat with the /proc-files [12:59] Am looking for a command to see manufacture information for example my memory modules. I have forgot the command. [12:59] blinkiz, it depends what do you want, there is no a command for everything [12:59] well... I dont know one [12:59] blinkiz, lsmod? [13:00] Aluado, No, not hardware [13:00] blinkiz: hwinfo [13:00] I have remote desktop installed... I can control computer X with Y, but I only get the very first screen and from there the screen does not update...could this be because of nvidia? [13:01] hey guys...i want to edit $PATH without root...how can i do is...export PATH=/path/to/blah:$PATH is just for one bash [13:01] fif0: Edit ~/.profile, relogin [13:01] fif0: what do you mean, "just for one bash"? [13:02] if i start a new bach, my path isn't changed [13:02] Now I found the command. dmidecode ! [13:02] fif0: Look at above.

[13:03] this direktory doesn't exists [13:03] Thanks iceroot , theadmin, Aluado and bazhang. The command I was looking for was dmidecode. Whit this command, I can see manufacture information for my ram modules for example. [13:03] fif0: what directory!? It's a file [13:04] fif0: Just go to terminal, run gedit ~/.profile [13:04] blinkiz, ok [13:04] i wonder, when you copy without following symlinks, do symlinks copied into the new filesystem point to the new inode of the real file? [13:04] blinkiz, thanks for the feedback :) [13:04] okay, thanks [13:05] fif0: Add the path there as needed, log out and back in. Will do it [13:05] opkay [13:06] i mean, let's say i got a symlink and a real file, and i copy both without the following symlink option, so will the symlink in the new filesystem point correctly to the inode of the inode of the file in the new filesystem? or to the inode it was pointing in the old filesystem? [13:06] obiwan_: try it and see what it does :) [13:07] blinkiz: good to know, thx [13:08] hiiii [13:08] Guys I have a dell mini 9 and my sd card reader is not workin in karmic. Help,anyone? Thanks.

[13:09] thanks [13:10] sorry coz i meant my sd card reader not sound card [13:10] hi, i have problem on my ubuntu9.04... I accidentaly removed /var/lib/dpkg directory. then I create the files and directories again. But I cant download packages any more. dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting: syntax error: unknown group `postdrop' in statoverride file [13:10] I get this error [13:10] fabstermaster: some of those sd slots in varioys netbooks need to have some options/tweaks done to work properly. I would suggest checking the ubuntu netbook forums on that exact netbook [13:11] fabstermaster, oh sorry here too...I misunderstood [13:11] erkangur: How on earth could you ACCIDENTALLY remove that?! Ahem, sorry. [13:11] thanks willy and coz. Ill ask there [13:11] guys , if I wanna compile a program and the OS is BSD do I need to download the linux tar, or just the source.tar [13:11] Dear all, where can I download the ubuntu-9.04-server-i386-dvd.iso? My new server can't install the network when I install the new system, so I cannot use apt-get to download. I need a dvd version which included most the software which I can used to compile and install the network driver. For example, kernel-source, gcc and so on. [13:11] kermit```: the dvd version dosent include those as far as i know [13:12] theadmin: When I try to remove /var/lib/dpkg/lock file , ... :s [13:12] fohos_: wrong channel [13:12] erkangur: Oh... I see :D Sorry. [13:12] fohos_: linux is not bsd.. so try the source., then try the linux one.. [13:12] Oh, my god [13:12] theadmin: Do you know how to reinstall dpkg? [13:13] erkangur: I don't know any ways to install apps without using dpkg unless you compile it from source. [13:13] erkangur: check out this link http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1281525.html [13:13] they have some stuff in there, but I think you may need to do a reconfigure -a (that is covered in that post) [13:14] but read the whole post before you do a reconfigure [13:14] hi, gnome-panel doesn't load up on startup on ubuntu 9.10, does anyone know what i can do to fix it?

[13:15] Ok, I just set up and configured thr RAID in the BIOS but when ubuntu 9.10 gets to the Prepare partitions section no drives show up in the menue [13:15] Maybe Ubuntu did not install the RAID driver initaly ?

[13:18] Tek-5-8-6: are you using the desktop install disk or the alternate> [13:18] Tek-5-8-6: I had to use the alternate when installing on my RAID setup... I don't think the desktop disk has any/all of the raid drivers, but try the alternate disk and see if it works, it has much more RAID support built in [13:19] the normal desktop CD [13:19] yeah, try the alternate, that is what I needed for my RAID [13:19] I have the alternate CD already downloaded. Should I use that instead ? [13:19] when will ubuntu10.4 be release? [13:19] Pupeno: i think there is a tool called unattended-upgrades [13:19] April [13:19] Guest5376: April [13:19] Ahh nice ok, I will try this now [13:19] the 4 is the month number [13:19] Guest5376: the answer is in the release number [13:19] 9.10 came out in...

[13:22] pirx: tsm-client conflicts with whatever you're installing. Bad deal. You either have to remove it or don't install whatever you're trying to [13:22] pirx: that is weird, try installing ia32-libs and libpcap first. [13:23] scunizi: yes 64bit [13:24] hi [13:24] pirx: try what chetnick said.. [13:24] hi there [13:24] Pad shows up in lsusb, nothing in /dev/input though. Should it load automatically? [13:25] Anybody else here have a Gigabyte X58A-UD7? If so have you tried to flash the bios? Every time I try (from the bios and flashbios in Ubuntu) it says the image is a mismatch [13:26] i still get "tsm-client: Depends: ia32-libs (>= 2.4) but 2.2ubuntu11.2 is to be installed" with whatever i try to install. hmm. [13:26] is the only option going back to the old tsm-client?

[13:33] hello everyone... I got some problems with Audio playback with KDE on 9.10. Once it works and once it doesn't and all I get is static noise... I get a message that analog audio output doesn't work falling back to pulse audio [13:33] when i mount my usb in linux and then goto windows. in windows part it has character problems. how i can solve this. [13:33] any tips why? or how to fix that? [13:34] panfist_: its some windoes setting. i noticed a similer thing when i accessed my shares via IP instead of hostname for some odd reason [13:34] panfist_: any time you try to copy/move/access it gives some annoying dialog? [13:34] hashimi: do you unmount clean usb before going to windows? [13:34] dr_willis yes! [13:34] vargadanis: try "killall pulseaudio" in a terminal [13:34] it happens when i access by ip, should i access by name? [13:35] i dont know why that should make a difference [13:35] panfist_: windows security being paranoid. as i said i saw it a week or 5 ago name worked.. no nagging.. ip nagged [13:35] panfist_: ask MS. :) [13:35] panfist_: the name technically comes from the 'wins' server i guess.. so ms considers it safer [13:35] hum [13:35] panfist_: i am guessing [13:35] scunizi, trying it :) [13:35] well the samba server is the wins server...so...it's the same safetyness [13:35] chetnick i just do this : mount -o iocharset=utf8 /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb [13:35] panfist_: tell it to ms. :) [13:36] and then i goto windows part. [13:36] what i must do else? [13:36] scunizi, wow that worked! :) [13:36] scunizi, have you met this problem before? [13:36] panfist_: i just edit my hosts and set the hostname/ips to be the same so i dont even se the wins stuff i think [13:36] bambang-pc: Rule 1: #ubuntu is not off-topic ;) [13:36] what do you mean, "edit my hosts and set the hostname/ips to be the same" [13:36] vargadanis: in one form or another for several years.. use to be killall alsa,, now it's pulseaudio [13:37] panfist_: the hosts file [13:37] ahh [13:37] hashimi: is it usb stick or usb drive? [13:37] on each individual client? [13:37] panfist_: but if the pc's change ip and you dont notice it - the hosts file pointing ot the wrong ip can really confuse things [13:37] panfist_: thas how i set up my home lan of 4 pc's - identical hosts file on each one - seemed to help out my samba quirks a lot [13:38] Suggestions on fixing a hard disk running JFS that fsck won't check due to corrupted superblocks? [13:38] hashimi: i think you have to do mount -t vfat ... most of usb stick are fat filesystem. [13:38] Any good tutorial about working multi head with linux (ubuntu)? [13:38] scunizi, hehe :) I'll make a script to do it for me every once in a while :) that's pathetic [13:38] figuring out how to get wins nailed down will probably be a better dynamic solution [13:38] but its good to know there's a fallback if it refuses to work [13:38] CyL: just using 2 monitors ? or you want a true multi-seat system with 2 users using same pc at same time with 2 different monitors/keyboard/mice? [13:39] Can't seem to find syslogd.conf in the man pages. Is there a .deb pakage I can install?

[13:40] vargadanis: go for it. [13:40] scunizi, instead I am stuck at the level of killall and saying nasty things how pathetic it is :) [13:41] '~$ man tilda; ...; -c, --command; Run a command at startup.'

[13:41] scunizi, well I have no idea how but I'll contact some KDE gurus.. I am sure they will help me [13:41] vargadanis: you're one of the few.. [13:41] bullgard: a command is a shell command.. [13:41] scunizi, one of the few of whom? [13:41] vargadanis: ask in #kde or #kubuntu [13:42] hashimi: make sure before you take out the stick, do unmount /mnt/flashdrive [13:42] never mind, found it in inetutils-syslogd [13:42] or whereever you mounted [13:42] bullgard: like tilda --command 'mc' [13:42] vargadanis: one of the few who have an issue like this [13:42] Dr_Willis: Your remark is not the answer to my question. [13:42] taste my penis [13:42] bullgard: how about it cant be done. [13:42] scunizi, yup... i'll do that as soon as I got some time... right now I am sooo in the middle of the work :) BTW... KDE is getting quite usable for work :) I am pleased with that [13:42] Dr_Willis: plugging the monitor on my netbook hangs up my computer.. [13:43] vargadanis: yep [13:43] ctrl-shift t is not command.. so not sure what you are trying to do exactly [13:43] CyL: try plugging it in befor you power up perhaps. sounds like an intel driver bug to me [13:43] hi, iam using ubuntu Xfce , is there any command which can allow me to change this Version ?

[14:09] panfist_: compiz has a featre to do that [14:09] occy: There's a number of screencasts showing how to do different things on ubuntu, i'm just looking to see if there's any "what is ubuntu" type files [14:09] panfist_, via compiz perhaps [14:09] bigcx2 when i show desktop i want this window to persist all the time [14:09] Gangrel,or use the uuids which is better [14:09] DJones: yeah... I'd need something more of an "Infomercial" type thing [14:09] indus so instead of the names i use the UUID right? [14:09] Gangrel, so that will be instead of /dev/partition ,replace with uuid and the rest are same [14:09] Gangrel, super yes [14:09] panfist_: with compiz you can set specific windows tobe untop. skip the taskbar, and other settings [14:10] panfist: what like a permanent terminal or something [14:10] is their a bug with the screensaver not going back to login screen after its locked? It freezes on me and I am unable to get back unless I randomly start punching the keys [14:10] bigcx2 actually a permanent seamless virtual machine [14:10] Gangrel, leave the hpfs thing out , its some recovery partition [14:10] Gangrel, all ext3 or whatever [14:10] panfist_: i got the nautils 'copying.. ' dialog set where it always stays on top by default :) [14:10] indus ok and at mkdir i use /media/UUID etx? [14:10] Gangrel, add to fstab [14:10] occy: Have a look at http://screencasts.ubuntu.com/ On page 4, there's a couple that might be useful for you, Introduction to Ubuntu, Why ubuntu etc [14:10] i have usability problems for some users when the minimize the virtual machine, the VM taskbar disappears and then the users are like chickens with their heads cut off [14:10] Gangrel, no no [14:11] panfist_: hm...i'm sure there's a way to do it...i know you can have it stay on top by default, i don't know about preventing minimization though [14:11] How can I list what files that where installed by a package? [14:11] Gangrel, at /media/ it should be /media/anynameyouwant [14:11] dr_willis do you know how i would access those serttings? [14:11] Gangrel, wait [14:11] panfist_: install the 'ccsm' tool and explore it. [14:11] !ccsm | panfist_ [14:11] panfist_: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz [14:11] does anybody know what happened to the displayconfig-gtk utility in hardy? [14:11] indus: you about? [14:11] s/hardy/karmic [14:11] d'oh [14:12] Gangrel, # /dev/partition name [14:12] mickster04, heya man, long time [14:12] hello indus [14:12] indus: yeah, christmas and new year etc... [14:12] i have a graphics card that supports resolutions up to 4096x? according to xrandr [14:12] Gangrel, then on second line , the uuid and /media/bla bla etc [14:12] but i can't get any resolutions to get set permanently [14:12] anyone have any relativly simple problems?:P [14:12] and there's no Xorg.conf file in karmic??? like wtf [14:13] Gangrel, #/dev/name so you know which partition it is [14:13] bigcx2: thers none needed in many cases [14:13] Gangrel, but hash it out since you are using uuids for it [14:13] bigcx2: and thats changes from the X updates.. not really a ubuntu specific feature [14:13] Dr_Willis: yea but what about the users that do need it?!?!?!? Are they expected to type in xrandr commands every time they log in to GDM [14:13] mickster04, so how was the holidays [14:13] First time on IRC :) [14:13] indus good yours? [14:13] bigcx2: the nvidia settings tool made a xorg.conf for me [14:13] mickster04, not bad [14:13] Using Ubuntu 9.10 [14:14] afterfostercare: welcome:D [14:14] 39 years old and IRC for the first time lol That is slow [14:14] lol [14:14] question [14:14] Dr_Willis: I have an Intel Atom chipset and I have no xorg.conf [14:14] bigcx2: on my netbook the display settings tool sets the default res for my users somewhere in their home dir.. so its not an iss to me [14:14] afterfostercare: everyone starts somewhere and go ahead:D [14:14] panfist_, when you open ccsm you want to go to the Window mangement category... Window Rules plugin and under the "Matches" tab you will see an option for Non minimizable windows [14:14] Gangrel, i see that you have ntfs also, please use accordingly [14:14] bigcx2: my netbook AAO, has no xorg.conf - and i can set/change my res with the tools and it rembers. [14:15] Dr_Willis: If I could simply set the correct resolution in Prefs -> Display then i would be happy [14:15] has anyone else been experiencing lockups every few seconds on their computer (not internet, a local and constant lockup/freeze) that then releases and everything catches up [14:15] bigcx2: iw as able to enable the 2nd monitor and have it running at a higher res and it rembers [14:15] Thanks Mickster04 [14:15] but it only has resolutions for 800x600 [14:15] ciao [14:15] and that's poop [14:15] bigcx2: that tool rembers them for me. I DO recall i might of had to hit the fn-monitor button to enable the external monitor. then used that tool. [14:15] help [14:15] !ask | giacomo [14:15] giacomo: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [14:16] Sorry, stupid question. Could someone please point me to a page that explains how I would update to a newer kernel on karmic [14:16] indus thanks man it worked finally :) [14:16] bigcx2: on my netbook the netbook has its res. then the external monitor has its own res. [14:16] Gangrel, for ntfs do this > uuid /media/partition ntfs user,defaults 0 0 [14:16] lame, the only way I could get it to work was by doing that xrandr hack business :( [14:16] Gangrel, ok thats nice to hear [14:16] has anyone else been experiencing lockups every few seconds on their computer (not internet, a local and constant lockup/freeze) that then releases and everything catches up [14:16] 9.10 [14:16] mickster04, i should go now , solved 1 problem at least :) for Gangrel [14:17] well done [14:17] thanks coz_ [14:17] afterfostercare, which graphics chip are you [14:17] panfist_, no problem [14:17] can anyone tell me where ubuntu stores the info on the network interfaces that are defined in network/interfaces (e.g. why a network interface is called eth1 when the old eth0 has been removed) === _keks_ is now known as Deem [14:17] nm indus :D [14:17] hmm let me see [14:17] mickster04, nm? whats it === pjarnahom1 is now known as pjarnahom [14:18] !it > giacomo_ [14:18] giacomo_, please see my private message [14:18] nvidia [14:18] indus nm = never mind as in "Oh well..."

[14:18] mickster04, hehe yeah i got that nvm of yours actually but i asked anyway [14:19] sorry indus if you have to go feel free to go [14:19] Doesn Ubuntu have nmap(1) in default installation? [14:19] I mean to ask; if the latest available version of the kernel package in synaptic is not quite new enough, is compiling a kernel the only option, or are there more updatified packages somewhere else? [14:19] afterfostercare, tell me [14:19] !info nmap [14:19] I have Nvidia from what I can recall [14:19] nmap (source: nmap): The Network Mapper. In component main, is extra.

[14:22] olks [14:23] Indus: I just mean that my 9.10 was working fine and still "works' it just seems to freeze up for about five seconds every couple minutes ... mouse still moves but cant' click etc.. then it all of a sudden catches up and "remembers" everything I did and executes those commands that I tried while frozen.. then back to normal till it does it again. I think it is only since a recent update manager that this started (two days) [14:23] hi folks [14:23] hi, I have my monitor plugged into my laptop at the moment and the screen displays on the monitor...however, it fails to utilize both the laptop screen and monitor screen at the same time, can someone help? The laptop's graphics card is Geforce 440 GO, I suspect its an issue with the drivers, but I don't understand how to check? [14:23] hi :) [14:23] ola [14:23] afterfostercare, do you have compiz enabled [14:23] no idea (rookie here) how do I do that [14:23] como estan cabrones [14:23] How can I verify whether my libx264-67 is used properly. One tool is telling me that it can't find it [14:24] Indus: I am a rookie but confident [14:24] lsdluna: there should be the function key with which you can toggle modes of the screen lcd / monitor / both [14:24] afterfostercare, can you tell me if compiz is enabled [14:24] do I install "Compiz" from the package manager? [14:24] I have problem with UNR. I canno't configure panel, add/remove applets etc. I even created new account and same thing with it. I canno't modify panel. [14:24] lsdluna: however it will be just a duplicated screen, i doubt you will be able to dual monitor as such... [14:24] Indus: I do not know what compis is [14:25] lsdluna: you have nvidia-drivers installed? if you do install nvidia-settings, and try to use that tool to set it up. [14:25] (sorry Compiz) [14:25] afterfostercare, ok do this go to main menu > system>preferences>appearance> visual effects [14:25] k going to go there [14:25] mickster04: can you repeat your first line response please? i accidentally closed pidgin lol [14:25] lsdluna: but i would be happy to be wrong, that sounds like an old graphics card tho? [14:25] lsdluna: there should be the function key with which you can toggle modes of the screen lcd / monitor / both [14:25] afterfostercare, so an nvidia card you said? did you install the drivers for it? [14:26] My "Visual" are set to "Normal" [14:26] afterfostercare, also go to system>administration>hardware drivers and see what it says [14:26] k going [14:26] mickster04: yeah fairly old, before i put ubuntu on, in windows, i could have dual monitor, similar to extended screen [14:26] scunizi, i finished ... but it asked me to choose gdm or kdm ... what i have to choose ? [14:26] lsdluna: ok, well i recommend you check drivers are up to date...system>admin>hardware [14:26] cmp: did you use both install lines? then if you want to load kubuntu use kdm.. for ubuntu gdm [14:27] cmp: thats up to you. gdm is gnome login manager, kdm is kde. [14:27] Indus: the recomended NVIDIA is active [14:27] ola [14:27] afterfostercare, is active ? hmm ok now go to the previous visual effects thing again and set visual effects to none [14:27] ola [14:28] then check system freezes or not [14:28] ciao [14:28] Indus: k will do [14:28] mickster04: says "Proprietary drivers are being used to make this computer work properly" [14:28] lsdluna: in theory there should be a tool in system>admin too related to geforce? [14:28] hello [14:28] Indus: have turned effects from normal to none [14:28] lsdluna: that is probably right [14:28] hello [14:28] mickster04: Nvidia X Server Settings [14:28] afterfostercare, now use the system for some time and check [14:28] i gtg now [14:28] xao [14:28] lsdluna: yes [14:28] All: This IRC is some fast stuff lol [14:28] can you help me [14:28] afterfostercare, mickster04 will help you in case you need any :P [14:29] Indus: will do some monitoring thank you very much [14:29] afterfostercare: after a while you get used to it an filte out the stuff you dont want:p [14:29] indus thanks :P [14:29] afterfostercare, i hope you have ram more than 512 mb [14:29] Mickster04 and Indus: yeah, starting to get there now.

[14:30] Indus: Yes 512 [14:30] mickster04: i tried using that, cant seem to make it work on both screens? [14:30] afterfostercare, ok its probably firefox and flash eating up ram [14:30] afterfostercare, use chrome browser its light and fast [14:30] bye now [14:30] Indus and Mickster04: Ok, will try chrome [14:31] lsdluna: well unfortunatly i aint in ubuntu atm, i recently install xp again an havent fixed grub...there should be options available for what you want, i would recommend snooping around to see if u can find it...sorry:/ [14:31] All: I am going to go now thanks so much to Indus and Mickster04 [14:31] afterfostercare: come back soon:p [14:31] How do I add programs to start when the computer boots?

Ubuntu 9.04, Quadro NVS 290, nVidia 190.53 a good combination?

[17:07] harisund, I see now, CUDA is like a software development platform for nVIDIA technology? [17:07] tucemiux, yes yes .it's a proprietary API for using the nVidia GPUs [17:07] help! my pc is shutting down unexpected! It usually happens while i'm viewing a flash video or playing a game. I upgraded my graphics card but still... xp does the same... is there any log that i can read in my pc so i can figure out what's the problem? [17:08] tucemiux, sorry I assumed you knew what CUDA was.

[17:09] Hi [17:09] harisund, karmic is supposed to be the most up to date ubuntu distribution, it's supposed to support a lot of hardware unfortunately as you can verify for yourself, there's always issues with nvidia drivers on ubuntu, ATI is even more horrible [17:09] nickkontos: use lmsensors [17:09] Íà Êàíàëå #ubuntu Íå Ôëóäèòå!
