[00:00] Has anyone here had any problems installing karmic on a Dell Vostro 1500? The CD boots, but when selecting any option (check media, install, etc.) the drive spins up for a second, then back down and it just sits there. [00:02] RB2_: Might want to check the Laptop Testing Team pages for any known issues [00:02] !laptop [00:02] Laptop support information can be found on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportMachinesLaptops - http://www.linux-laptop.net/ - http://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam - http://tuxmobil.org [00:02] eg, second link [00:03] whats the key for bypassing the --(MORE)-- % thingy on EULA's? down arrow too slow :) [00:03] Hello [00:03] RB2_: it might be worth while for you to try the alternate install CD. [00:03] Is there a Disk Cloning utility I can use to switch out my Hard Drives in Karmic? [00:03] seanbrystone, try space [00:04] seanbrystone: where are you seeing a EULA? [00:04] does anyone know of a nice graphical client for xmms2 ? [00:04] ok snail [00:04] Karhu: audacious is like xmms, even can use xmms skins [00:04] evon, thanks; I'll give it a whirl. Any particular reason to think that might work? [00:04] ardchoille, on CrashPlan's setup [00:05] does anyone know how to reset bios without a monitor? [00:05] ardchoille: im using KDE and i already have xmms2 installed [00:05] RB2_: I have no idea. I just know that i've had install issues with a Dell laptop so I had to use the alternate install CD, then it worked fine [00:05] Karhu: KDE? You should be in #kubuntu then [00:05] Thanks evon [00:05] Thanks for the link genii [00:06] Any takers? [00:06] By_Your_Command: dd [00:06] RB2_ you're welcome, have a great day [00:06] ardchoille: kubuntu always seems empty when i go there [00:06] DD? [00:06] By_Your_Command: Clonezilla? [00:07] I'm trying to decode a iptable denied message, can someone have a gander for me? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d12777a78 [00:07] hello! i am a linux newbie, and it seems that my laptop gets way to hot (im running 9.10) and actually shuts itself down... is there a way i can make the fan run all the time to help solve this issue... i always have the lappy plugged in to the wall, so power conservation isn't an issue [00:07] ah Clonezilla [00:07] let me check that out [00:07] Karhu: Regardless, this channel is for Ubuntu support.. you need to be in a channel that supports your distro [00:08] i dont really see the difference apart from the DE but right o [00:08] i have googled, and saw something about turning acpi off, but i do not know how to do that [00:08] so i'm trying to update ivtv firmware (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Install_IVTV_Feisty at the bottm) and apt-get is failing on me http://pastebin.com/m4bcda788 [00:09] evon/genii, with the normal install CD, if you choose F2, alternate, it complained about a corrupt image. [00:09] *shrugs* [00:09] We'll see how the alternate goes [00:09] here is what i did, i went to /etc/default/ and sudo'd in to the grub file using gedit as my editor, i then cleared out "quiet splash" and put in "acpi=off" and rebooted... i dont think it worked... that or my fan is weak and i can't feel it [00:09] Hell Clonezilla has a built in PXE server for deployment [00:09] what is the command to install complete kde?, kde-meta does not work. [00:09] ;) === alex____1 is now known as Code_Breaker [00:12] Can anyone help with this error "E: /var/cache/apt/archives/ivtv-firmware_0.20070217_all.deb: trying to overwrite '/lib/firmware/v4l-pvrusb2-29xxx-01.fw', which is also in package linux-firmware 0" [00:12] genfool: kde-standard? kubuntu-desktop? [00:13] I have a partition ext3 called storage. How can I give it read and write, no-execute to all my users? [00:13] snail_: sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/ivtv-firmware_0.20070217_all.deb [00:14] RB2_: sorry no idea. I would just download the alternate ISO [00:14] thanks, ChogyDan will probably need both commands, 108 packages installing now :) [00:14] <3 genii [00:14] genfool: well, if you are new to this, then you want kubuntu-desktop [00:14] AssociateX you need to chmod -R 775 [00:15] so do i have to restart for firmware changes to be applied? [00:15] i assume so [00:15] By_Your_Command: but would that stick on the reboot? [00:15] snail_: Thats the easiest way. You could unload all the drivers which are for the device and reload them also [00:16] By_Your_Command: doh! I guess I could of said how to set it up in fstab [00:16] ChogyDan, I use another distro, setting up a laptop for as a volunteer at a local ubuntu meet this weekend. [00:16] AssociateX: sure because it recursively changes the perms [00:16] I accidentally hit something on the key board while I was on a site and everything on the site became very small. Does anyone know how to fix this? [00:17] Using fire fox 3.6 [00:17] ctrl+0 [00:17] hi, i'm trying to write a little script to wake a server, sleep and then mount it on my laptop with sshfs. Is there a sensible way to let me enter a password at this point? Zenity? [00:17] ubuntu 9.10 [00:17] RB2_: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors [00:18] hey guys, im using ubuntu 9.04 live and connected a 500gb sata drive through a usb enclosure but it doesnt want to show up, when i checked dmesg it gave me this http://pastebin.com/m53e903d .. is the harddisk damaged? [00:19] By_Your_Command: thank you, no execute though, 665. I'm going to reboot and see if it sticks [00:21] sexcopter, you mean the password for ssh/sshfs? [00:21] unop, yeah. [00:22] unop, just browsing google etc... should i be looking into ssh keys instead? [00:22] sexcopter, you don't enter a password. you use public key authentication for this - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Keys - [00:23] sexcopter, yep [00:24] unop, thanks. at this point i don't get how this is preferable to a password, but i'll read a bit before i go asking more questions! [00:25] sexcopter, well, if i ask this question - maybe you get the picture? to get a script to enter a password on your behalf you are going to have to hardcode your password, right? is that secure? [00:26] Anyone use their blackberry for internet tethering? [00:27] unop, i thought that with zenity it could be entered by me each time (which is aok for me, if it's blanked out on the screen), but i realise it then goes into bash history, which is not acceptable. === AssociateXxx is now known as AssociateX [00:28] hello all [00:28] no workie [00:28] I deleted my swap file and made a new one (larger) [00:29] xubuntu does not recognize it automatically [00:29] if i type "sudo swapon /dev/sda5" it works [00:29] oldtopman: add it to fstab [00:30] blakkheim I know but it looks like i need a UUID which i culd not obtain [00:30] oldtopman: you can use /dev/sda5 and it will be fine [00:30] gimme a sec [00:31] hi, is generic kernel much worse for a box that runs postgresql,apache,tomcat than a server kernel? i checked, and the major differences are polling freq and no preemtion in scheduling. but is there a real difference in practice? [00:31] I am running 9.10 on an IBM Thinkpad T22, and the built-in microphone is not working. Can anybody help me with this? [00:31] oldtopman, with the command blkid you can get the uuid of any partition. check man blkid [00:31] blakkheim the line read "UUID=(insert uuid here) [00:32] i replaced it with /dev /sda5 and rebooted [00:32] it still didnt work [00:32] The new "MeMenu" they're testing for Lucid, is there any way to get it in Karmic? [00:32] Good Evening All: Anyone know how to move /home to partition on SD card for 9.1? [00:32] sexcopter i did that and it said /dev/sda5 [00:33] anybody here know how to set up a static IP in 9.10? I need to forward ports and such. [00:33] NetScr1be Are you installing or changing [00:33] hi all, just a quick query as I am going mad. I have setup postfix and dovecot on ubuntu 9.1 server. I can send email addresses to external mail servers via squirrelmail and webmin, I can receive emails from localserver, but not from external servers. I have checked mail.log mail.err mail.warn to see if there is any errors but nothing there. Any idea what this could be? [00:34] changing [00:34] anarki2004: Network Manager does not cut it? [00:34] anarki2004 right click the network icon [00:34] @anarki right click Network Manager and click edit connections [00:34] should I have manually configured /home onto the SD Card? [00:34] kinja-sheep: i had no idea where to even start here (i'm was a windows person up till last week) [00:34] NetScr1be it is easiest when you first install [00:34] on it [00:35] Crazy|One, you behind a router? could it be a local ip address forwarding issue? [00:35] NetScr1be: Err. Why? You realize if you're downloading something (say 10MB) or save stuffs. SD can get full fast. I have 20GB for home and it gets full fast. [00:35] oldtopman, if using the old style, it's /dev/sda5, not /dev /sda5 [00:35] NetScr1be however it is possible but i dont know how [00:35] oldtopman, let me check the man page for blkid [00:35] the partition exists from 9.04. I think I will have t install on another SD card then copy over folders? [00:35] sexcopter i meant /dev/sda5 not a space [00:36] chai_ I have forwarded port 25 to the correct ip, unless there is another port i have forgotten i thought this is ok, plus i am not getting any delivery error report from the external email address [00:36] Does anyone know if http://repositoryhosting.com/ supports Ubuntu repositories. I'm new to repositories hosting and want to try it with out having to set up my own server. If someone could answer this that would be great [00:36] oldtopman, perhaps you should copy your /etc/fstab file to pastebin, someone can check your entry [00:36] kinja I'm on Asus EEE w/ 4GB solid state drive [00:37] sur gimme a sec [00:37] I have a partition ext3 called storage2, how do I set it up in fstab to mount rw -x for all users on this computer? [00:37] I moved /home to SD on 9.04 no problem [00:38] AssociateX mount -t auto /dev/???? /storage2 [00:38] Crazy|One, you can access the server externally otherwise? can get into squirrelmail fine? [00:38] oldtopman, have you tried using sudo with blkid (sudo blkid /dev/sda5)? [00:39] Associatex man mount will show the options and defaults which are for all users [00:39] I believe [00:39] mount -t ext3 /dev/???? /storage2 [00:39] NetScr1be: no [00:39] chai_ sure i am accessing it but its on a local machine, domain is http://cgatt82.co.cc/squirrelmail if u want to check external connections? [00:39] I managed to delete some files that were very important for a website... and I need to figure out how to recover them. They aren't in my waste basket... and I'm at a loss of what to do. I know files are not "deleted" when you delete them... but I don't know how to view a file that has been turned off. [00:40] NetScr1be: that's not how it would be set up in fstab [00:40] AssX quite correct my apologies [00:40] NetScr1be: something closer to UUID=d0f7ab49-bdba-460a-aaed-03e1860c97d8 /mnt/storage2 ext3 defaults 0 1 [00:40] that's command lin [00:40] line [00:40] NetScr1be: right [00:41] Crazy|One, that works fine... i'm not sure if its oly 25, that sounds ok though... i had similar issues before, the problem was permissions. The external emailer would send to the server fine, but the server didn't have permissions to write the received file [00:41] NetScr1be: no problem, although man mount has great info for fstab too, I just can't get what I want [00:41] chai_ if it was a permissions error wouldnt it be noted in the logs? [00:41] sexcopter here is the link http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d7ae3c32d [00:42] Crazy|One, yes thats true.. [00:43] oldtopman, i found that blkid only works when run with sudo, did you try that? [00:43] yes [00:44] Here is the printout link http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d63362403 [00:44] AssociateX - as per man fstab: [using UUID] will make the system more robust: adding or removing a SCSI disk changes the disk device name but not the filesystem volume label [00:44] oldtopman, try putting "none" (no quotes) for the mountpoint [00:45] I don't get a printout link from pastebin in Chrome [00:45] fejio. [00:45] http://192.20.225.36/tts/speech/c3e21d1fd2799f84e0e215ba0514779b.wav [00:45] sexcopter what do you mean what mountpoint [00:45] NetScr1be: um, I know that [00:45] ol dear brb [00:46] AssociateX are you planning to hotswap SCSI HD's? [00:46] oldtopman, second column in the fstab file [00:46] im trying to learn windows D0S , is there any way i could use it on linux? [00:46] NetScr1be: no [00:46] V12: Any Windows should have DOS (Command Prompt). [00:46] im back [00:47] chai_ im just looking through the config files, i followed a guide with configuring dovecot, but i have just noticed that every line is #commented out. this cant be right surely? [00:47] perhaps i'm doing it wrong, but after I edit the IP settings inside network connections (ipv4) i lose connectivity [00:47] So UUID doesn't do any good? [00:47] kinja-sheep- i would like to use command prompt on ubuntu . is that possible? ? [00:47] NetScr1be: I'm only using it because it the default and not hard to work with [00:47] it is* [00:47] sexcopter should i reboot after i make the change [00:47] V12: Maybe if you're using VirtualBox or any other similar methods. [00:48] oh screw it. DMZ host it is [00:48] hello [00:48] V12 http://www.dosemu.org/ [00:48] I recently tried to see if the virtuoso-server package bug was fixed (it wasn't) and now after uninstalling the whole virtuoso-server thing I have a cpu monitor up in the upper right corner of my screen. How do I get rid of it? I'm on Lucid. [00:48] Crazy|One, that might be ok. a lot of config files are automatically generated with a bunch of comment lines... im guessing you followed a howtoforge guide?

[01:09] MWisBest: is it... conky? ... a gdesklet? [01:09] Well I'm in Kubuntu but I can't get any help over there. [01:09] I don't know what the heck it is. [01:09] MWisBest: it's not something enabled by default, right? [01:09] Nooo [01:09] MWisBest: it's a widget I'm sure [01:09] Something to do with the virtuoso-server upgrade. [01:09] Nope. [01:10] It's not. [01:10] hi guys [01:10] !enter | MWisBest [01:10] MWisBest: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [01:10] MWisBest: take a screenshot and show the channel [01:10] How would I do that jrib? [01:10] hi guys [01:10] * elijah thinks jrib has the best advice [01:11] guys if u dont mind to asnwer question: is ubuntu better then mac os x? [01:11] MWisBest: in your very upper right hand corner of your screen you have a quarter round light bubble, when you mouse over it something turns yellow, right? [01:11] Yep. [01:11] in what way? [01:11] phong_, that's a very opinionated question, and you're in the ubuntu room [01:11] i know ubuntu is free [01:11] ;) [01:12] phong_: that wasn't directed at you, sorry. [01:12] sexcopter you still there [01:12] MWisBest: left click, "add widget" then subtract what you don't want [01:12] !free | phong_ [01:12] phong_: freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing [01:12] Does Ubuntu have an application similar to Microsoft Sysinfo that gathers all sorts of hardware and software configuration info, and saves it to a file you can send to other people? [01:12] phong_: I will tell you one way. You can resize the bloody windows in Ubuntu from any side, in Mac you are FORCED to use the bottom right of the windows to resize. OS X forces you to do a lot of things its way. [01:13] MWisBest: that will work if it's a widget [01:13] allquixotic applications>system>system monitor [01:13] ok thanks eli [01:13] oldtopman, yeah [01:13] phong_: Also you can't install OS X on anything other than Apple Hardware, not even Windows is that bad. [01:13] AssociateX: It's not a widget. It's not in there. [01:13] that is why i hate mac now [01:13] MWisBest: dang, sorry then [01:13] i'm going to do ubuntu [01:13] phong_: what is your expectations of the operating system? What are you trying to use it for? [01:13] sexcopter much thanks it works very well now [01:13] Could it have ANYTHING to do with this virtuoso-server package that was breaking my dist-upgrade in Lucid? [01:13] phong_: Apple is about TOTAL control, freedom really isn't anywhere in there business plan [01:13] kod, i'm just going to learn it [01:13] oldtopman, you're welcome, glad to hear it! [01:14] phong_: Although I think you should learn it though, and Ubuntu [01:14] elijah OSX86 installs on some pc's and many netbooks [01:14] MWisBest: is it something in ~/.kde/Autostart [01:14] I found a way around it but found out I didn't need what it installed and then I uninstalled it, rebooted, and this ugly thing is on my screen. [01:14] allquixotic: lshw is the best for that.... [01:14] elia: are there alot of software for ubuntu? [01:14] oldtopman: I am referencing their official distribution and licensing agreements. I know you can hack it. [01:14] phong_: Yeah, a lot of it is starting to mature now. [01:14] I am unable to get a list (mobile device) can anyone see a symbian channel other that #symbian? [01:15] most of them are free also right? [01:15] MWisBest: what did you install? [01:15] elijah it is illegal so yeah... you are right [01:15] i personally use ArtistX [01:15] then uninstall? [01:15] allquixotic: there's also a GUI for it.... [01:15] phong_: GNU/Linux is the future, you would do yourself good to start learning it now. [01:15] virtuoso-server. [01:15] its based on ubuntu 9.04 [01:15] Magnesium, what's the name of the GUI for lshw? [01:15] phong_: Your questions are extremely vague. Its like asking "Is a Ferrari a good car?" but your use of it is drive down to the grocery store twice month. I mean you need to be more specific with your questions [01:15] phong_: The majority of Linux software is free, yes. [01:15] I am unable to get a list (mobile device) can anyone see a symbian channel other that #symbian? [01:15] ok i have 6GB RAM is best to use x64 ubuntu? [01:15] MWisBest: ok, good luck anyway [01:16] phong_, yes [01:16] MWisBest: for support with lucid, please use #ubuntu+1. Lucid is still being developed and is not meant for "regular" use [01:16] allquixotic: lshw-gtk [01:16] Oh, ok. I'll head over there in a second. [01:16] phong_: for the hardware yes, but for the software not so much [01:16] phong_: stay away from 64bit for now unless you know what you are doing [01:16] allquixotic: it's in the repos [01:16] Magnesium, thanks, grabbing it now [01:16] bye all [01:16] phong_: start with 32bit [01:16] ok, i'll install with 32 bits [01:16] what's another irc network that only deals with computers and other geeky stuff? [01:16] allquixotic: It's a great little tool...as is the command line one [01:16] phong_: no, you should use 64bit [01:17] AssociateX: Network or Channel? [01:17] allquixotic: Just be sure to run it as root to get the most info [01:17] elijah: network [01:17] last question: is it good idea to intall thru ms windows or from a start up pc [01:17] phong_: Use 64bit. I'm using amd64 on computer and laptop. Take full advantage of your hardwares. [01:17] elijah: network, like, but not, dalnet [01:17] AssociateX: Ok, just wanted to be clear. I don't know that one. [01:17] phong_, I would not install through MS windows, but it might be easier (Ive never done it) [01:17] elijah, do you know of a channel? [01:17] install from the Live CD [01:18] its easier that way [01:18] 've also seen Fedora 12, it hink it's sux [01:18] specially if you want to put it on a partition [01:18] knoppies: Sort of, I was going to make a joke and say #ubuntu-offtopic [01:18] elijah, oh, thanks anyway. [01:18] phong_: You may wish to install through Windows the first time. It is easier that way. [01:19] currently i'm using mac [01:19] i hate i [01:19] it* [01:19] i'm regret to buy it..fuk mac [01:19] I regret mine too [01:19] phong_: Then just burn the image and do the live CD as suggested [01:19] i prefer windows over mac [01:19] wierd, I installed dates, a nice calendar program, but it has the 11th as set today, but its only the tenth, and there is no way to change it I can find [01:20] ubottu: language | phong_ [01:20] phong_: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [01:20] phong_: A MAC is just a piece of hardware. You can run any OS on it [01:20] ubottu: ot [01:20] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [01:20] i run ArtistX and Windows 7 [01:20] gnome is borked on my karmic: no fast-user-switch-applet candidate for install: have a fix for me? [01:20] phong_: It is no different than buying a Windows PC [01:20] elijah, but i can do more stuffs in windows then in mac [01:21] elijah, I thought the older macs had different Processors? (although, this is going OT.) [01:21] kandinski: fast-user-switch-applet doesn't exist in karmic. Which package are you trying to install? [01:21] phong_, thats clearly wrong. you have different a lot of different applications and methods of doing things in each OS> [01:21] rww: gnome-desktop-environment [01:21] phong_, what can you do in windows that mac's cannot ? [01:21] What's the difference between the PS3 desktop install cd and the normal ppc desktop install cd? [01:21] kandinski on what hardware? [01:21] sorry, this is intel32 [01:21] in windows: i can almost find any applications for it [01:21] more games supported by windows [01:21] * xangua thinks phong_ needs to go to #ubuntu-offtopic :S [01:22] kandinski: Ah. Yeah, you can't in karmic. They screwed up the dependencies on it and didn't fix it before release for some reason. [01:22] Is it ever a bad idea to always follow updates with Update Manager? [01:22] oh okay [01:22] erebus: no [01:22] genericperson, I woudlnt know (never even heard of it) but I would assume hardware support. [01:22] sorry guys it's off topic [01:22] haha [01:22] rww: I upgraded from jaunty and it worked for a month. today, no reason for it, no gnome [01:22] nevermind* [01:22] erebus: unless your question was more specific to that application, in which i would recommend you use aptitude instead [01:22] erebus: as long as you have official repositories only, it's a good idea [01:22] rww, NetScr1be, how can I fix it? or should I upgrade to 10.4? [01:22] kandinski: probably it kept the old FUSA package from jaunty, and it got autoremoved recently for some reason. [01:22] erebus, generally, but Ive had a few things break after an update. [01:23] thanks blak, I think I've only seen security and recommended updates, but I've always doen them regardless [01:23] phong_: Yes, you definitely have many more popular options on Windows but there are many less popular options and equivelants for Ubuntu [01:23] i know the ps3 is 64 bit, so i assumed that the ps3 disk automatically used that. when i tried to boot my ps3 off the normal ppc disk it rejected it. [01:23] kandinski: install ubuntu-desktop instead, or use "equivs" to generate a dummy FUSA package [01:23] rww: I am pretty screwed then! [01:23] rww: ubuntu-desktop it is [01:23] ps3 = cell processor [01:23] cell processor = ppc [01:23] it uses PPC64 [01:23] but is it incompatible w/ ppc32? [01:24] never tried it [01:24] kandinski: you could also try downloading jaunty's FUSA package, I guess. It's not the supported method, but it's available at http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/i386/fast-user-switch-applet/download [01:24] rww: ubuntu-desktop is already installed. I tried downloading jaunty's already, but it won't install [01:24] knoppies: when you had something break, was it easy to step back to before the update? [01:24] "conflicting packages" [01:25] grumble, I dumped pulseaudio and sound is gone...argh [01:25] erebus: no [01:25] rww: what's that about a dummy package? [01:25] i just want to know how the ps3 disk is different. is it different only in the respect that uses ppc64 instead of 32? [01:25] Hello [01:25] kandinski: Did you have gnome-desktop-environment installed before, or are you attempting to install it now to solve some other GNOME problem? [01:25] erebus, I didnt try, I avoided it until I updated to the new release. I thought it would only be a weeks wait. [01:25] some one apt-get install dates, and let me know if they can change the today date on it, cause it says thurs here so I wanna change it to wed [01:26] blak: I'm pretty sure I use only official repositories, I've never changed any settings on that [01:26] rww: I assumed it was installed before [01:26] allquixotic: Did lshw-gtk work for you? [01:26] I have had this ubuntu install since 2006! [01:26] just upgraded every time [01:26] kandinski: Ah. No, gnome-desktop-environment isn't installed in default Ubuntu installs. [01:26] rww: ah [01:26] but metapackage gnome won't install either [01:26] kandinski: try gnome-core [01:27] kandinski: correct. the gnome, gnome-desktop-environment, and I think gnome-core packages, all of which we got from Debian, and none of which you need installed for a GNOME Ubuntu desktop, are broken in karmic. [01:27] gnome depends from gnome-vfs-obexftp [01:27] rww: I just want to have a stock desktop to work in [01:27] Is there a graphing software for linux? [01:27] kandinski: then you want ubuntu-desktop. [01:27] I wasn't even fiddling, I was just sitting down to work! I swear! [01:28] nexus_, of course, gnuplot [01:28] hehe [01:28] rww: "computer says no" (it is apparently all installed and working) [01:28] Ok thanks I'll try that out [01:28] basically I have X and gnome-do [01:28] that's how I have this xterm working [01:28] Magnesium, yep :) [01:29] hey guys, what do i need to install to be able to listen to web radio? [01:29] allquixotic: :D [01:29] well, the ps3 will boot the install-ppc64 option, but not the install (32) option, so i guess that means thats the big difference. but shouldn't a cpu that supports 64 bit architecture also support 32 bit? [01:29] Atlantean, rhythembox [01:29] Atlantean: mplayer works for most stream types [01:29] Vlc too Atlantean [01:29] for example i try this www.nitroradio.gr [01:29] link opens and i can't hear [01:30] try volume control [01:30] unop, i think i have the ssh login, keys and all that figured out, for now at least, thanks! [01:30] maybe some browser modules? [01:30] I recently purchased a D-link pci-express wireless card, DWA 634. I read everywhere that it is supported by the ath9k driver which is built into the latest kernel but I have yet to find clear instructions on how to get it working. When I insert the card, nothing happens. I was able to get the card working with ndiswrapper but it doesn't have wireless N support. Where can I find clearer... [01:30] ...instructions on how to get my card working? [01:30] P2E dumped Pulse because...? [01:30] genericperson: that's the case on Intel/AMD x86_64 and i686. That's not necessarily the case for other 32-bit vs. 64-bit architectures like PPC. [01:30] Thunder_Drop: is it listed under ifconfig -a? [01:31] rww: I am going to upgrade to 10.4 [01:31] can I do it from the console? [01:31] blakkheim: unfortunetly not [01:31] kandinski: You realise that 10.04 is under development and not recommended for end-users? [01:31] kandinski: do-release-upgrade [01:31] NetScr1be: because a k6-2/500 with 384M ram needs all the cpu and ram it can get, and there's no need for it. [01:31] rww: I am pretty desperate [01:31] and it *is* a LTS [01:31] this person does not need the ability to software mix audio. [01:32] so basically 9.10 with less bugs, innit? [01:32] kandinski: desperate to get an unusable box¿ [01:32] P2E did you re-install ALSA/ESS? [01:32] kandinski: Considering that it's currently under development and in the alpha stages of release, I strongly doubt it has fewer bugs than 9.10. [01:32] not using esd. [01:32] that doesn't sound promising. so basically: on intel and amd processors, all 32 bit oses will work on 64 bit processors, but on the cell processor, the 32 bit and 64 bit versions are completely different, and not compatible? [01:32] #ponferrada [01:32] alsa was always installed, pulse has to output somewhere, alsamixer works and sees the card and messes with levels. [01:33] is there any way to test that? [01:33] P2E I upgraded to 9.1 chasing sound on my aSUS EEE and gort nowhere [01:34] thanks guys [01:34] alright, we are in business now, gpe-calendar is excellent [01:34] finally: how can I reinstall the whole 9.10 then? [01:34] so it picks up whatever dependencies are broken? [01:35] also, if the 32 bit and 64 bit architectures are not compatible, does that mean that i can't virtualize, but only emulate? [01:35] without formatting preferrably [01:35] NetScr1be: doh. I wish I knew what the hell to do other than put slackware on the machine. [01:35] some body can tell me how can i go to irc-hispano [01:35] it would be lightyears faster, but this person does not know the difference between a router and a wireless nic, so... [01:36] Hello. I haven't been in here in a long time.. So far, has anyone seen any good audio editors which are better than Audacity? [01:38] alguien que me diga como ir al irc-hispano desde irc de ubuntu === homer is now known as Guest90882 [01:38] !es [01:38] En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [01:39] blakkheim: sry lost connection... my card does not show up in ifconfig -a [01:40] ok, reinstalling the whole thing from scratch [01:40] good thing I have /home in a separate partition [01:40] aCeQ: as the bot said, type: /join #ubuntu-es [01:40] is there any *command-line* tool to manage LVM and software RAID after installation of ubuntu server? [01:42] ubuntu seems to be refusing to want to change back screen resolution any suggestions? [01:42] what is the name of a respectable computer irc network? [01:42] It won't change back to your older settings? [01:43] @k0rbis it won't change period now [01:43] @meepmoop Thats pretty wierd, did you make sure you installed the correct video drivers? And also the latest? [01:43] Freenode is what I was trying to remember [01:43] later all [01:44] AssociateX: you are on freenode [01:44] late [01:44] lol [01:44] reminds me of Molière's Burgeois Gentilhomme, who didn't know he had spoken in prose all his life [01:44] @k0rbis I've had the same settings forever I just recently purchased a monitor and was messing around with the resolution and now it won't change at all it seems to just be stuck on 640 by whatever it doesn't want to accept other settings [01:44] also LOL at calling freenode "respectable" [01:45] :-) [01:45] Welcome, Colloguy [01:45] Pleasure, k0rbis. [01:45] would it be risky to get into 2600 as a newbie? [01:46] I have a question regarding wireless internet. I've never had a problem connecting to wifi networks before, but I can [01:47] ... cant connect to the local library's wireless [01:47] Most wireless work out of the box. [01:47] I've tried about 10-15 times in the past two days [01:47] Are you able to connect wireless to another network? Maybe its the signal strength? [01:47] V12, no risk in subsciption [01:47] is there any way to see some kind of error log? [01:47] maybe they don't have dhcp? [01:48] (danee's issue) [01:48] full bars, and my friend, who runs ubuntu on a different laptop can connect fine [01:48] hmm. [01:48] Yeah it just depends what they use on that router. Internet or just Lan. [01:48] soooo has anyone successfully gotten a pvr card to work, i can't get anything out of this card :( [01:48] Make sure your settings are set for automatic dhcp [01:49] dane, same what version are you using (I'm assuming ubuntu) [01:49] I see two options, Automatic DHCP and Automatic DCHP Address Only [01:49] Static Ip address can cause some issues on their network when you try connecting. [01:49] rww: can you reinstall ubuntu from ubuntu itself? [01:49] How do I find out what WiFi drivers I'm currently using on my ATH0 interface? Thanks [01:49] I'm using Karmic [01:49] options 1 [01:49] You want Automatic DHCP [01:49] option* 1 [01:49] yep [01:49] Yep [01:49] That's the one I've been using [01:49] lol [01:49] ;) [01:49] rww: to add insult to injury, this laptop has no optical drive, so I would need to go about setting a PXE loader etc [01:49] Ok umm what about security? [01:49] None [01:49] kandinski: Can it boot from USB? [01:49] it's open [01:50] rww: but the laptop is running, so... [01:50] Open as in, no pass needed or wep? [01:50] no pass [01:50] How do I find out what WiFi drivers I'm currently using on my ATH0 interface? Thanks [01:50] rww: no, Toshiba are dicks that way, it only boots from pcmcia cd-rom and from *their* special usb floppy [01:50] ouch [01:50] @sekyourbox Open terminal and type ifconfig [01:50] is there anyway anybody can do harm to my system in a hacker channel ? [01:50] as in 2600 [01:50] rww: otherwise I love this computer [01:50] just be me being in there [01:51] @dane umm I really dunno what to say, make sure you have the right wireless drivers? [01:51] kandinski: one of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation#Installation%20without%20a%20CD might help, but the only one I've done is USB boot, so I wouldn't be able to help [01:51] V12 they can hack your Gibson: don't go there [01:51] rww: thanks a lot [01:51] Lol [01:51] dane, you don't have anything specified for a pass, I'm assuming. [01:51] @korbis I've never had problems before, and I've had the computer for months [01:51] kandinski : gibson ? [01:51] @Spanglish yeah, no pass [01:52] @dane So you have connected wireless to the Library before? [01:52] V20: your tree filez. Anyway this is off-topic here. [01:52] no, not this one, but many others [01:52] Hmm [01:52] and you have specified none for security [01:52] dane* [01:52] yep [01:52] hey does anybody know if it is possible to share a printer with samba or bonjour on ubuntu 9.10 yet? [01:53] hang on, I'm gonna time out in 10 seconds, be back soon [01:53] jinx [01:53] Ok [01:53] ok [01:53] lol [01:53] installing xfce4... [01:53] Most of these answers are in Google people..not to bust your bubble for coming here. Its nice and all, but it does save us some time ;-) [01:53] I figure any desktop will do for now [01:54] kandinski : whats a channel for the topic ? [01:54] V12: #2600 [01:54] !google [01:54] While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [01:54] :P [01:54] Hello guys, i am very new for UBUNTU, and i am thinking of installing UBUNTU over my laptop, but i need to run coldfusion server, is that possible ? [01:54] ubottu, agreed [01:54] Ehh ;) [01:54] back [01:54] Welcome back [01:54] wb dane [01:54] oh, it's a bot, duh :P [01:54] lol [01:55] lol [01:55] Lol [01:55] !ubottu [01:55] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots [01:55] ubottu : lol [01:55] Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. [01:55] Hello guys, i am very new for UBUNTU, and i am thinking of installing over my laptop, but i need to run coldfusion server, is that possible ? [01:55] @spanglish thanks [01:56] I'm still trying to think what other methods could help you out, dane.. [01:56] Guest46635: in 2007 you could install coldfusion 8 on ubuntu, np [01:56] dane: no problem? [01:56] so what if we want to laugh 25 times ? we cant use lol . thats ridiculous ! [01:56] can someone help walk me through setting up a wintv pvr 500 card [01:56] no luck yet [01:56] bah. hmmm.. [01:57] should I just play with the options in the edit connections dialog? [01:57] I'm at a loss... [01:57] Hello guys, i am very new for UBUNTU 9.10, and i am thinking of installing UBUNTU over my laptop, but i need to run coldfusion server version 8 or 9, is that possible ? [01:57] I really wonder whats causing dane to not connect to the Library [01:58] @korbis is there any kind of log for the wireless? [01:59] Guest46635: I have told you Coldfusion does install and run on ubuntu [01:59] hmmm [01:59] @dane /var/log/daemon.log [01:59] i second that [01:59] maybe even syslog [01:59] Has a bunch of information [01:59] Yep true [02:00] I have no drivers for my radeon hd 5470. Am I able to change resolution still? no options available in gnomes "display" config tool [02:00] @korbis/spanglish thanks, I'll try those [02:00] dane : try to connect when it fails do tail /var/log/syslog [02:00] Hi everyone, I would be great if you help me for this query. Actually I am very new for UBUNTU 9.10, and i am thinking of installing UBUNTU over my laptop, but i need to run coldfusion server version 8 or , is that possible ? [02:00] no prob dane. [02:00] thank you both [02:00] Guest46635: Yes [02:00] good luck [02:01] is it fair go to add another entry in modules.usbmap by hand or will I break the file? [02:01] Guest46635: Ubuntu is designed for awesomeness [02:01] Yep no problem [02:01] Hello anyone [02:01] @faithful what exactly are you trying to do? [02:01] please help me for that [02:01] I added a new network card in virtualbox, and ifconfig eth1 up only bring up the card but did not assign it an IP, how can I "notify" the dhcp (which is built-in for virtualbox) to assign an IP? [02:01] Hi everyone, I would be great if you help me for this query. actually I am very new for UBUNTU 9.10, and i am thinking of installing UBUNTU over my laptop, but i need to run coldfusion server version 8 or , is that possible ? [02:02] k0rbis, just add another device ID [02:02] all you k0rbis i have no clue [02:02] Guest46635: you just don't read what people says to you, do you¿ [02:02] (19:59:02) kandinski: Guest46635: I have told you Coldfusion does install and run on ubuntu [02:02] @xrfang Virtualbox and Vmware only detect so much hardware, for example my webcam was never detected. For your hardware to operate correctly, its best to just install it on your hard drive. [02:03] korbis: card is detected and seems no problem, just didn't get IP... [02:03] @xrfang Make sure your Virtualbox network lan is enabled on Windows if thats what your using. === iWolf is now known as Cynnamon [02:04] I am using ubuntu 910 :) and the first network card got IP without any problem, I am using bridged networking [02:04] I will now try a reboot [02:04] (of the guest) [02:04] @xrfang All right [02:05] Hello [02:05] xrfang you said the first nic got an ip? both nics using bridged? [02:05] @blondincx Hello [02:05] yO blondincx [02:05] k0rbis: after reboot it seems ok.... I hoped it will get IP without rebooting :) [02:05] I think he went to reboot his comp [02:05] but anyway [02:06] Oh ok [02:06] If not, let me know [02:06] what I did is modified /etc/network/interfaces [02:06] Hmm you shouldn't have to modify anything [02:06] anybody knows how I can get the mozilla-plugin-vlc? Apt-get doesn't find any package [02:06] is there any curse-based network setup tool for the command line [02:06] Mine worked out of the box ubuntu 9.10 [02:06] I don't know but I did before reboot, just hope it won't require a reboot [02:07] Actually yes there is, you can setup from terminal [02:07] but if I don't , *and* I don't want dhcp, where shall I configure the ip address of NICs? [02:07] New Linux slogan " Linux : destroying ourselves in order to convert 3 more windows users. Linux is for bitches and dumb ones at that. Are you a dumb bitch ? If , yes, give it a try." [02:07] I guessed it is /etc/network/interfaces... [02:07] OpenBSD blackhole.earthlink.net 4.6 ejeet2#5 i386 [02:07] pow ! [02:07] @blonde I don't think there is a vlc for firefox [02:07] @xrfang You want automatic DHCP [02:08] k0rbis: where to configure this? [02:08] @korbis thanks, but shit [02:08] @xrfang System > Preferences > Network Connections [02:08] xrfang, you're trying to configure a nic on an ubuntu vm? [02:08] maybe a totem-plugin? [02:09] @blondincx You can still get VLC for Media Player. I use it myself. [02:09] sorry k0rbis, Spanglish_7776, didn't explain clearly: I am installing ubuntu *server* in the vm although my host machine is ubuntu 910 desktop, which is irrelevant. [02:09] I want command line tool to manage network and everything [02:09] @blondincx I use Adobe Flash Plugin, Real Player, and Quicktime for Firefox [02:10] @xrfang Ok brb [02:10] xrfang, you're correct to edit the /etc/network/interfaces [02:10] @xrfang So wait your trying to setup a server? [02:10] and if it's bridged you can specify a ip but it has to be on the same subnet as the physical network [02:10] yes trying to setup a server to test a few things, for example clonezilla, and LVS maybe... [02:11] @K0rbis : VLC is already my media player, I was trying have the streaming videos needing X-msvideo player running directly on the browser [02:11] if you want dhcp, you can do that also.. [02:11] Spanglish_7776: you mean set it up in vbox manager, not in guest system? [02:11] @xrfang Usually when you setup a Server you have a Static Ip address, The Ip address is the same as the Gatway Ip [02:11] Maybe realplayer can do that [02:11] no, on the guest [02:11] k0rbis: same as gateway ip? I don't get it... [02:11] ok, [02:12] @xrfang So for this you'll need to setup a Static Ip, sorry I didn't know you were setting up a Server..

[02:12] k0rbis: static or dynamic is not that important, because I am only studying some techniques, but I do would like to learn basic command line tools for networking, except those "commodity" tools like ifconfig or ping... [02:12] @xrfang Computer <---> Computer [02:13] @xrfang Ok thats fine. Brb 1 sec [02:13] k0rbis: although I've been using linux for years, this is the first time I setup things directly on command line under ubuntu or debian based systems. :$ [02:14] xrfang: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-networking-configuration-using-command-line.html [02:14] @xrfang Ok if you configuring a DHCP address for your network card use: sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces [02:14] thanks Spanglish_7776 [02:14] np [02:14] LOLL thats exactly where Im at Spang haha [02:15] k0rbis: yes, that's what I did. but I am digging for more... for example I do like the setup program's style for configuring LVM, but can't find that program (because I don't know its name, or whether it is available) after installation [02:15] Hi [02:15] But yeah that site will help you out with your commands [02:16] @xrfang Ok so you need something to configure LVM?

[03:01] z3r0-0n3: webmin isn't supported on ubuntu and might break your setup in the future when you upgrade.. ebox is the substitute [03:01] !ebox | z3r0-0n3 [03:01] z3r0-0n3: ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox [03:01] billybigrigger_: you have to jail break it.. [03:01] Scunizi: I'm not setting up a server [03:02] billybigrigger: what I do with my iPod (classic) is to install windows on virtual box and use itunes there, you have to enable usb first. [03:02] !ipod | billybigrigger_ [03:02] billybigrigger_: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [03:02] z3r0-0n3: ok.. I guess I missed the beginning of the conversation.. webmin is used with a server.. [03:03] i just want to use squid as a caching proxy. do I need to setup a server for that? [03:03] Ok, I asked this just a little bit ago, but I think nobody noticed [03:03] I have a quick question (I hope): I have had most of my 'sudo apt-get install's failing with an end message of "Errors were encountered while processing:ca-certificates- java." How can I fix this? [03:03] luap: have you tried sudo apt-get -f install ... ? [03:04] luap: study the error, workaround it somehow. I sometimes have to manually modify /var/lib/dpkg/info files for the postinstall/something. [03:04] Scunizi: i just want to use squid as a caching proxy. do I need to setup a server for that? === tarski is now known as frigginz [03:04] z3r0-0n3: no, you install squid & enable access in the configuration file for some local network of yours. All done. [03:04] argh, alsa is just not putting out any sound on this machine I have [03:05] I get the same error when I try to do sudo apt-get -f install [03:05] z3r0-0n3: a proxy is also known as a "proxy server".. CUPS is a server .. there are lots of servers on your system.. but to answer your question, you don't need a web server to enable a proxy server.. sounds like you have a lot more reading to do about it.. unfortunately that hasn't been an area of interest for me to explore. [03:06] luap: it's not a quick question, the problem here means that something failed with respect to that package. You need to figure out what, like is it some install script, or some duplicate file from another package conflicting with the current, or some broken diversion, or what. It happens sometimes. [03:06] the "failure to install the package" is just an executive summary, the cause for failure is generally written somewhere above. [03:07] Like this? [03:07] dpkg: error processing ca-certificates-java (--configure): [03:07] Scunizi: I have a lot of servers on my system? Does that mean I need to setup a firewall? [03:07] subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status [03:07] luap: yes, that means that /var/lib/dpkg/info/ca-certificates-java.postinst failed to do its job. [03:08] sometimes just deleting that post install script and reinstalling the package fixes things [03:08] z3r0-0n3: it already has one.. basically it block everything unless you or a program you're using opens ports for functionality and connectivity. [03:08] semitones: burning the iso worked, thks [03:08] Do you know how I could do that? (Sorry for being such a Linux noob) [03:08] Coachj, great :) [03:08] i will paypal someone $5 if they can get ubuntu to recognize the correct resolution for my hdtv - 1366x768 - via hdmi - it works via VGA [03:08] thanks [03:08] luap, don't apologize for being a noob, everyone has to start somewhere. [03:08] test (sorry for trouble) [03:08] hey guys i downloaded bitchx and trying to get it setup. I already extracted but when i run ./configure i get the error at the end saying "cannot find setupterm or tgetent" [03:08] what am i missing? [03:09] luap: I dare not guess what that postinst script does, but I've in an occasion modified these scripts with an "exit 0" statement at start when I've determined that I don't care if it installs correctly or not. [03:10] sometimes the message is evidence of a problem that should actually be fixed. All problems are different, and there's no substitute to understanding what goes wrong and why. Still, one can of course blindly cross fingers and delete these scripts or whatever. [03:10] moegreen: you have satisfy all bitchx dependencies, in this case you need to install setupterm or tgetent; read bitchx documentation, look for a section titled "dependencies" [03:10] cool thx [03:11] So, is there anything that I can do right now? [03:12] moegreen: I see they have Debian package, you may be able to install with "sudo apt-get install bitchx", it would be more simple. [03:12] that doesnt work, besides i need to learn how to install from binaries/source.. [03:13] moegreen: that's cool, it's always great to learn; make sure you have gcc and automake installed, you'll need those too [03:13] newb question... [03:13] is there a ctrl+alt=del type command that can be used if my system crashes? [03:14] Bennage: there are -- alt sysreg k is one [03:14] luap: well, "rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/ca-certificates-java.postinst" and "dpkg --configure -a", see if that gets the package "installed". But java certs may somehow be broken, so that package should probably be removed and then reinstalled with all things that depended on it reinstalled too [03:14] it kills all current processes [03:14] !bitchx | moegreen [03:14] moegreen: bitchx (also known as ircii-pana) was dropped from Debian and subsequently Ubuntu (see: http://dy.fi/afb). Consider using irssi or weechat instead. [03:15] moegreen, be sure to ready that dy.fi link - bitchx was dropped for a reason(s) security in nature [03:15] Bennage: you can press "ctrl+alt+F1 to get a command line where you can kill any specific process [03:15] Bennage, so if you use alt sysreg k, all unsaved work will be lost. Another option is to switch to a vertual terminal, like darolu says :) [03:15] Bennage: I sometimes try the alt gr + sysrq + the following 3 letters in sequence: s u b. Sync, Unmount, Boot. [03:15] what bootloader do i use if i have a macbook pro with EFI? [03:15] Sometimes it causes Linux to restart with no lost work. [03:16] Bennage: I forgot to say, you can return to the GUI with ctrl+alt+F7 (took me a while to figure it out the first time I tried lol) [03:16] i just found that out :P === carlos is now known as Guest66359 [03:16] got a nice big blank screen [03:16] started hitting random buttons [03:16] dude [03:17] ctrl+alt+f1 just gives me a blank screen [03:17] blakkheim: sorry i had to step away... did you check the directory list? [03:17] Bannage: no command line? that's weird. [03:17] Bennage, hmm, do any of the other function keys give you a login prompt? [03:18] ctrl+alt+f1-f4 all give me a black screen [03:19] on both of my 2 screens [03:19] that's not normal behavior [03:19] bennage ctl/alt/f7 [03:20] Bennage: ctl/alt/f7 [03:20] in fact all the function buttons give me a blank black screen except for f7 [03:20] Bennage: they all open thier own terminals, f7 goes to where x is running [03:20] hey guys. i've got ubuntu 8.04LTS server with zimbra thrown on top of it, which doesn't use the packaging system. i'd like to get mailx to send command-line mails (zimbra uses postfix) but apt wants to install exim as a dep. is there some way to convince apt that i have an appropriate MTA already? [03:20] ctrl+alt+f7 will only bring it back to the desktop [03:20] yup [03:20] but none of them open a terminal [03:20] just a blank screen [03:21] Bennage: should ask for login [03:21] nope [03:21] Bennage, and is your desktop currently crashed? [03:21] no [03:21] I like minimalist desktop environments, I used fluxnox for years. But I also like eye candy and started using xfce with compiz. Now XFCE has made it so the right click doesn't bring up the applications menu but some other menu. Anyone know how to make it bring up just the applications menu? [03:21] will it only give me a terminal if something has crashed? [03:22] Bannage: have you tried with one screen only? this may be the problem [03:22] that would make little sense [03:22] I hate having to have panels [03:22] any ubuntu forum mods here? === goose is now known as goose[CoD] [03:22] gratuit: you just need to configure xfce the way you like, the right click menu (which I love) is still there === dmb is now known as d [03:23] darolu: I am trying to figure out how, all I can do is edit the applications menu, which is jsut a sub-menu of the one right click brings up, is there a way to get edit that menu? === d is now known as ______dmb [03:24] s/get/' ' [03:24] gratuit: check for a ~/.config file in your home and check to make sure it looks right. I do not use xfce so I am not use past this. [03:24] Bennage, they should _always_ give you virtual terminals [03:24] that's what I thought [03:24] gratuit: I assume you are using xubuntu or that you installed xubuntu-desktop; go to your preferences browse themes and mouse options; you can get rid of the panels by right clicking them. [03:24] gratuit: system wide is in /etc/xdg [03:24] brb, gotta restart [03:25] turning off one of the screens to see if t hat works [03:25] can anyone help me with a wifi (drivers?) problem? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1403616 [03:26] darolu: yes, but then I still have the problem of having the right click bring up a menu of which my applications menu is a sub-menu. I want to be able to only have a few items in the menu right click brings up. I always was able to do this before, but cannot figure out how to in the new version [03:27] gratuit: I'm on GNOME right now, so I can't guide you through but here is a link that you may find useful: http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/menu-spec-1.0.html [03:27] ok, with only one screen, I can get a nice sexy bit of terminal [03:28] darolu: ah, I just had to disable icons [03:28] which is good [03:28] but slightly annoying [03:29] gratuit: Oh cool, btw you may like to try "slackware" (another distro) in the future, it is more xfce-oriented :D [03:31] * Bennage tries something else... [03:33] victory! [03:33] Hey all. apt-get install -f is listing a program I DO NOT want installed. How can I run down what is currently installed that is asking for it so I can remove it and resolve this problem? [03:34] if I use twinview instead of separate xscreen, I can get the terminal up [03:34] I always though twinview was just mirroring the two screens [03:34] anyway [03:34] it works now [03:35] !apt [03:35] APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) [03:38] I followed this guide http://tinyurl.com/yhnbhpu to make a bootable ubuntu usb drive from windows. My computer boots to the menu where it says "run ubuntu", "install ubuntu", etc but when I select run it doesn't do anything. [03:38] any ideas? [03:39] bwallen: did you check the md5sum when you downloaded it? [03:39] by it do you mean my ubuntu iso? [03:39] bwallen: yes, the ubuntu iso [03:40] no, I didn't actually... I'll try that now [03:40] bwallen: when I get that kind of behaviour most of the times is a damaged iso; it can also be damaged RAM module (dimm), you can also use the check memory option [03:40] Im looking for a good fast alternative to VNC. (its over an ethernet connection) [03:40] ok, I'll try to check the memory too [03:42] Does anybody know how to set up a network bridge? [03:42] theguyover there you mean connecting to routers? [03:42] No. [03:42] ok [03:43] I've got a laptop connected to a wireless network. [03:43] knoppies, check out FreeNX [03:43] I want to share the internet connection from the wireless to another device connected through the ethernet port. [03:43] thanks ZykoticK9 [03:43] just open up network manager [03:43] Breetai: aptitude why packagenamehere [03:43] change the ethernet connection to "share with other computers" [03:44] I've tried that. It didn't work for some reason. [03:44] it will give it some weird ip configuration [03:44] That's probably the problem. [03:44] 10.41.something [03:44] How can I figure out the IP configuration? [03:44] set up the other computers connection manually with the original as the gateway [03:44] ThatGuyOverThere, ifconfig [03:44] ubuntu won't go into standby or hibernation (ubuntu 9.10), any suggestions? [03:45] I need more specific. [03:45] no-stby-hib, no hibernation can mean that you have more ram than swap space. [03:45] hey guys can someone tell me what the terminal command is to access the info of the network so i can get a MAC addy off my wifi [03:45] ThatGuyOverThere, ifconfig will tell you your current IP configuration. [03:46] Okay. [03:46] Nighthawk82: "ifconfig -a" should have the MAC address [03:46] knoppies, i have no swap space (but i have plenty of ram) [03:46] thanks rww [03:46] Nighthawk82: it'll be labelled "HWaddr" [03:46] no-stby-hib, thats why it will not hibernate (in hibernation it stores your RAM in your swap space). I don't know why it will not standby. [03:48] ubuntu won't go into standby (ubuntu 9.10), any suggestions? [03:48] Whoa. I got connected automatically. [03:48] That never worked before. [03:49] I just turned on the PS3 with the ethernet cable connected to my laptop and it's good. [03:49] Hi. Will I lose anything in terms of hardware compatibility if I install Damn Small Linux instead of Ubuntu? [03:49] I just turned on the PS3 with the ethernet cable connected to my laptop and it's good. [03:49] Thanks for the help. [03:50] Hi! [03:50] any recommendations for cheap linux based vps hosting? Say around $20 monthly? [03:50] q0k: i doubt you will retain all hardware compatibility that ubuntu offers in a 50 MB distro [03:50] CmdrTallen_: you mean vpn? [03:51] what's the command to get up the process list in terminal if I need to kill it's PID? [03:51] Bennage: ps -A [03:51] no-stby-hib, no I mean Virtual Private Server [03:51] Bennage: ps aux [03:51] Bennage: top (q to quit) [03:51] ta [03:52] I upgraded today, and now vlc won't produce sound. I am unable to kill pulseaudio via pactl or kill. Anyone have suggestions? [03:52] shapr: compiling pulse worked for me [03:52] CmdrTallen_: Linode is $20 a month and I very highly recommend them.

VPS stuff is offtopic for this channel, and there are a bunch of VPS users in there also :) [03:55] AHA! Somehow the upgrade earlier today changed my sound settings to use the on-motherboard audio instead of my soundblaster. [03:55] how do i figure out directory of C header files of my kernel?

[04:22] lololol type startx [04:22] lololol, go back to windows xp [04:22] lololol: If your system is frozen, chances are there is an issue with a kernel module (driver) on your system. You can try sshing into the box from another machine on the network and poke around a bit, if that is an option [04:22] JamesMean: edit fstab to not mount it on boot? [04:22] zilkomaa, that was very rude [04:22] lololol, to restart gdm/x in terminal "sudo service gdm restart" [04:23] mkquist, it doesn't mount but its still visible mate [04:23] lololol: If you have a working console, just restart gdm with sudo /etc/init.d/gdb restart [04:23] oops :P [04:23] lololol: or use alt+sysreq+k which is the substitute for restarting x [04:23] lololol: /etc/init.d/gdm restart [04:24] soreau: I think that's gone in karmic.. [04:24] press and hold the power button maybe? [04:24] lololol, is any of those helps working?

[04:25] mkquist, somebody in here helped me to make it not show up at all on linux (litterally made it dsapeer) but i upgraded to the x64 version and can't remember who it was that helped me do it :) [04:25] daveyarusso, can't you drop the .desktop file into the menu editor? just a thought (might not work) [04:25] semitones, i didnt mean it that way, he's running ubuntu with virtual box [04:25] daveyarusso: Have you tried ./ADMS.desktop ? [04:27] zilkomaa, oh, I'm sorry, I didn't catch that :) [04:27] semitones: thats just funny... [04:28] ZykoticK9, I can add it by dragging and dropping, but it doesn't work once there. [04:28] soreau, oddly enough, that opened the .desktop file in GEdit. (I think that might be a security thing.) [04:28] lanzelloth, any ideas mate? [04:29] daveyarusso: Wow. Well, that was my only guess. [04:29] Anyone know how to view the Documents and Settings folder on my windows vista partition? [04:30] windows.old possibly ? [04:30] epicbig: mount it using , ntfs-3g === nikolam_ is now known as nikolam [04:30] JamesMean: Where are you seeing this partition if it is not being mounted? It will always show up in /dev for instance, no matter what [04:30] JamesMean if you mount it at say... /mnt/whatever, in fstab, it will not show in the side pane of nautilus, places menu or the desktop. if that helps.... [04:30] rumpsy: it's already mounted, right? [04:31] rumpsy: running 9.10, btw [04:31] epicbig: you have to check that in /etc/fstab [04:31] Jamesmean: just curious, why do you want it to disappear so badly? [04:32] epicbig, if you type "mount" in a terminal, it will tell you which partitions are mounted and how -- that should help us help you [04:32] epicbig: was the disk there when you installed ubuntu? [04:32] epicbig: you can identify that using, type of filesystem. [04:32] is there a channel for csharp as such? [04:33] ##csharp [04:33] deostroll: /j #c# [04:33] mkquist: i think he is having both in same hardisk [04:33] sudo su - [04:33] I've got /dev/sda2 (my windows partition) mounted at /media/OS [04:33] evon, i just don't like seeing the windows 7 c drive on my linux (i hate windows and only use when i can't use linux for something mainly devices [04:33] m1tch3ll: that's not used in ubuntu.. maybe sudo -i but not sudo su [04:34] just when i CD down into the Documents and Settings folder it's blank [04:34] hi [04:34] scunizi, lies [04:34] epicbig, in Windows 7, I think you have to go to the Users folder [04:34] iirc [04:34] scunizi, sudo su - [04:35] Jamesmean: alright. could you not have a windows installation in virtualbox to do the things that linux can't do. that way you won't have to worry about any windows partitions at all? [04:35] schestowitz, passwd [04:35] change the root password [04:35] epicbig: goto user folder [04:35] epicbig, if that doesn't work, somebody in ##windows might be able to tell you where it is -- I'm not booted into windows atm [04:35] m1tch3ll: wrong.. but you'll learn [04:35] i wish i could remember the person that showed me how to banish that windows partition completely from ubuntu :) i upgraded to x64 version and couldn't remember his name [04:35] scunizi, ? [04:35] scunizi, i did sudo su - and then passwd now i can ssh in as root [04:35] epicbig, you have to enable hidden folders view in windows 7 [04:36] epicbig: he was right, CD to user and check there !!! , i remember that [04:36] found it, thanks everyone!

[04:39] semitones, it doesn't actually mount.. but it still shows [04:39] old exploit is old [04:39] JamesMean: Does the output of mount show it is not mounted? Can you still see the files if you click on it? [04:39] JamesMean, yes, if you have it set to mount somewhere not in /media, you won't see it [04:40] unless you look for it specifically [04:41] semitones: so does it not show up in places if you do that? [04:42] mkquist, right, it wont. The only mountpoints that show up automatically in places are those in /media. [04:42] did one of the recent jaunty updates break flash playbility? every since i updated yesterday none of the flash in my browsers work. [04:42] soreau, semitones no you can't see the files if u click on it it gives an error that it can't mount (thanks to another person in here that tryed helping) but its still visible sitting there with no purpose thats why i want it to vanish completely [04:42] BigMack84: Did you try (re)installing flashplugin-nonfree ? [04:42] I have a list of packages for apt-get or aptitude. I need to remove packages from this list that will automatically be installed. how do I go about that? [04:43] yea im attempting to re-install now [04:43] JamesMean, can you pastebin the contents of /etc/fstab? [04:43] back to pavilion [04:43] JamesMean: If you are absolutely sure it is not mounted, try deleting the directory in /media set up for it [04:43] JamesMean: and if you have already set it to not mount in fstab, have you relogged on to see if it reflects the changes? [04:44] JamesMean: does appear to work [04:44] JamesMean: just made a directory called media-hidden and mounted my windows parts there... viola [04:45] JamesMean: you can edit you fstab to mount them there - i'd guess [04:45] mkquist, :) [04:45] I wish file-roller was named archiver or something [04:45] I keep forgetting that it's the default archive manager [04:45] kappaccino, there is xarchiver, if you'd like it instead :) [04:45] kappaccino: You can create as many symlinks as you would like :) [04:46] holdup getting lost lol i need linux training how do i open that fstab? [04:46] JamesMean: gksu gedit /etc/fstab [04:46] ouch... boot problems [04:46] JamesMean, no problem :) [04:46] what did you do? update the kernel? [04:46] semitones: nice gone... not even in clicking on computer shows em... [04:47] semitones, # /etc/fstab: static file system information.

[04:47] JamesMean, sorry you got ninja'd [04:48] semitones, my bad should of read rules [04:48] JamesMean, I think it's happened to all of us at least once [04:48] semitones, did you get the paste anyway? [04:49] JamesMean, no, it cut off... just go to paste.ubuntu.com, and post the link afterward [04:49] Can someone help explain how to run an SSH tunnel.. Im so very confused on this.. [04:50] I have 3 machines A:ME; B:GATEWAY; C:DEST. I can ssh to B via port 6278, from there I can ssh to C via port 22. [04:51] I am trying to setup a tunnel to pull a git repo, ala: http://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/GitTips#How_to_push.2Fpull_via_ssh_to_host_behind_gateway.3F [04:52] I just don't see how the parts fit together, and I can't for the life of me find a site that explains it clearly [04:52] semitones, can i paste it in private dude? so i don't need to signup to that launchpad? [04:52] JamesMean: u pasting ur fstab? [04:53] yeah just wanted to do it in private dialog if possible so i don't need to signup to that launchpad thing right now [04:53] JamesMean: you don't need to sign up for pastebin [04:53] !pastebin [04:53] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [04:54] oh my bad here lol http://paste.ubuntu.com/373691/ [04:55] not sure if this is the right channel, but what's the command that lists the location of your logfiles? [04:55] JamesMean, alright, I see it :) [04:55] Is it possible to get Ubuntu 64 bit on shipit? [04:55] or you can only get 32 bit [04:55] ? [04:55] JamesMean, now, can you open up /etc/fstab in gedit again? we need to make a change [04:56] semitones, done [04:56] ok... oh one more thing first -- sudo mkdir /mnt/hiddenwindows [04:56] use whatever name you want [04:57] doesn't have to be hiddenwindows [04:57] fgfg [04:58] JamesMean: call it "mysterious hidden windows disks"! [04:58] semitones, by the way got two media partitions i don't wont to vanish this wont change aye? :) [04:58] JamesMean, we're only hiding the one :P [04:58] the others will be fine [04:59] Shazam, your log files should be in /var/log/ [04:59] anyway, once you've made the new directory in /mnt, in gedit, change "/media/Windows" on line 15 to read "/mnt/hiddenwindows" [05:01] ki4cgp: yeah, I know. it seems silly, since I actually know the location, but there was some small shell program that just listed out (current?) log files. [05:01] JamesMean and remove the ,noauto,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0" to the list and put 0 0 [05:01] I have a 20 page pdf that I want to extract 2 pages from - any software recommendations? [05:02] can anyone help me with unrar in ubuntu? [05:02] it isn't working [05:02] I get "unfar FAILED" [05:02] iflema, hmm, should he also delete the "7" of /media/Windows 7 [05:02] DavidJHeinrich, did you mean unrar? [05:02] because unfar will fail [05:02] JamesMean yep [05:02] yea, unrar [05:02] how can i get out of xwindow? [05:02] hahhha [05:02] no, I meant unrar [05:02] ok, you did it on the command line? [05:02] semitones yep [05:02] yes [05:02] DavidJHeinrich: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:02] I used unrar and unrar-free, bot fail [05:03] Shazam, Ahh. I'm not familiar with it. normally logrotate will zip up old ones and put .1, .2, etc behind them. Perhaps this program is just listing your normal uncompressed log files, or perhaps it is reading something from /proc [05:03] JamesMean, yeah, so line 15 should read /dev/sda2 /media/Windows 7 ntfs-3g defaults, 0 0 [05:03] DavidJHeinrich, you mean unrar-nonfree? [05:03] right iflema ? [05:03] ctrl+alt+f1 takes me to text console but how do i get out from it? [05:03] Gary, ctrl alt f7 [05:03] Can I get 64 bit ubuntu on shipit? [05:03] datakid23, I think so...I have 2 command-line ones...unrar & unrar-free [05:04] I am new to Ubuntu. I would like to know about hard desk drives and their settings [05:04] or is only 32 bit available on ShipIt? [05:04] Gary20, ^ [05:04] semitones rename that mount point.... [05:04] iflema, oh, right [05:04] Before I used windows. I recently promote myself to ubuntu [05:04] DavidJHeinrich, and did you add the e? ie "unrar e file.rar" [05:04] ? [05:04] you need the e [05:04] semitones, ah! bingo, i got it. i kept on having to restart whenever i wanted out. ugh... [05:04] administrator_, hard desk drives? typo or something I havnt heard of? [05:04] JamesMean, /dev/sda2 /mnt/hiddenwindows ntfs-3g defaults, 0 0 [05:05] datakid23: unrar e file still doesn't work. A few files are OK (as with unrar file), but most Failed [05:05] Well, as in windows we have drive C, and D, E so on. I want to know the drives in Ubuntu? Where my files save and where can I create new folders [05:05] Gary20, CTRL+ALT+Backspace used to kill that Xwindow session and restart it, pretty abruptly actually. It may still do that [05:05] ki4cgp: ah -- found what I was thinking of syslogd-logfiles [05:05] administrator_, all user content is in a place called "home" which is /home/USERNAME [05:06] Gary20, yeah, it doesn't make sense unless you already know about it, so now you know :) [05:06] administrator_, drives are named sdX where X is a letter, starts at a and goes on. so your first hard drive is sda. [05:06] done one more thing before i save does it matter that the mount point isn't spaced out to where the rest are on that fstab? [05:06] Ok, in home/username/ my files would be save, what are home/media/? [05:07] Ok i understand [05:07] semitones: why not have em use UUID's? [05:07] ki4cgp: only if its enabled, which by default on karmic its not [05:07] mkquist, he could -- I just don't know how to find the UUID [05:07] administrator_, rather than accessing drives in the way you do on windows, you MOUNT the drive to the file tree. so you can mount a drive to anywhere. usually in /dev/ or /mnt/ (Im not sure how to explain this). [05:08] mkquist, but UUIDs would work better [05:08] done, you guys are legends! :)) [05:08] semitones: blkid or sudo blkid [05:08] administrator_, in order to create/edit anything in a folder other than /home/USERNAME/ you need to have root permissions. === PenneitE is now known as EtienneP [05:08] Ok the way you explain, I understand that. Thanks buddy [05:08] mkquist, Ahh, I haven't tried it since Karmic, so I wasn't sure anymore [05:08] semitones: in terminal of course [05:08] Yes I do have [05:08] mkquist, heh, of course [05:08] ki4cgp: its easy to enable, just not done by default [05:09] Does ubuntu support Fusion HDTV DVB-T? [05:09] Hello I have a older PC with Windows XP a HP Pavilion a305w. I want to install Ubuntu on my PC. But the PC will not let me do it. Do any one know a way I can install it. I tried the Ubuntu Iso and Wubi. I miss Ubuntu and would like to have it on my PC. Also the Live CD does not work. [05:10] rcamedialabnc, is the LiveCD corrupt in any way? or is it just not booting into the CD? [05:10] * Costin www.club404.ueuo.com/live.php the best radio the best music ;) [05:10] Whats error you are facing when you try to install ubuntu on that pc? [05:10] I download a fresh iso and burn it on a new CD. [05:10] rcamedialabnc, how much ram do you have? [05:11] semitones, hey one more thing.. the documents, music, pictures, videos folders etc.. can i link each folder to another on my media partitions? [05:11] rcamedialabnc, also, make sure you BIOS is set to boot from CD-ROM first. [05:11] My CD will boot then I get errors [05:11] I tried the new Ubuntu to the older versions [05:11] JamesMean, I'm not sure I understand [05:11] semitones, just that they are in an ideal place to get to my media [05:11] rcamedialabnc, what error you get? [05:11] what is the error, and which Ubuntu are you using ? [05:11] alright i want to create a user for a buddy so he can ssh into my box do i add him to users? [05:11] rcamedialabnc, it sounds like your CD is corrupt in some way, have you tried the "Check disc for defects" [05:12] rcamedialabnc, it may also be that your ram is faulty, you might want to check that too. [05:12] i dont want him to have read or write permissions anywhere but his /home/ [05:12] prohna, I would assume so, make sure that he doesnt have permission to use the sudo command. Im no export though, get a second opinion. [05:12] semitones, okay.. say the music folder is located /home/skitzo/Music can i change it to say /media/Media/Music [05:12] Ok That could be it but Windows run perfect. [05:13] Well I have a question other then linux, may I ask? [05:13] rcamedialabnc, sounds to me like the disc is defected, check the disc for defects. I would do the ram check first, if it passes the first 4 tests, then its probably OK, and you can cancel the test. [05:13] administrator_, ask, if its very OT someone will complain. [05:13] JamesMean whatever you drag int the lower left pane of nautilus will also show in the places menu... so to answer you question e.g. remove the music icon and then drag ya mountpoint there.... if ya follow [05:14] JamesMean, Oh, I see :) -- it's probably not a good idea to move those directories to /media, because they don't really belong there -- the permissions are probably different, and lots of programs will expect them to be in their proper place. [05:14] It an old PC with 512 ram, I waiting to buy a new one. [05:14] I want to ask that, if I try to answer someone in this room asking for something which I may now, then may I answer or Is there only you people allow to answer not other? [05:14] if you know the answer, answer. [05:14] administrator_, anybody may ask or answer questions, its a community channel. [05:14] iflema can you keep the corresponding folder icons? [05:14] Ok thanks, I understand [05:15] JamesMean dont think so not sure.... [05:15] Can I set my Ubuntu as server for my website? [05:15] JamesMean just plain folders i think [05:15] rcamedialabnc, that will be plenty :). If the livecd won't work, you can install from the alternate cd, which has a text based installer [05:15] rcamedialabnc, just curious, how much RAM are you using, and which ISO are you trying to run? [05:16] administrator_: yes, there is a variety of webserver software that comes in the repositories [05:16] sorry - I was away - is there any software for extracting two pages from a 20 page pdf - "clipping" so to speak [05:16] rcamedialabnc: have you enabled the computer to boot from the cd? in the bios? [05:16] rcamedialabnc: or that not an option? [05:16] nevermind, I see it up further, too many check-ins / outs :-) [05:17] Ok, then will you please give me the name of any website software which would be useful for me to make my ubuntu as server for my website [05:17] JamesMean file a bug..... it should hey... [05:17] mkquist, he says it boots, but it gets "errors" [05:17] Ok I do not want to wipe out windows. I'm a designer so I need Winblow. [05:17] JamesMean: do you mean in your home folder? links to the other folders? [05:17] administrator: apache is the most common server used [05:17] administrator_, apache or (let me go find it) [05:17] rcamedialabnc, that's fine -- you'll be able to set up a dual boot system with the alternate cd [05:18] administrator_, or you could use http://www.lighttpd.net/ [05:18] rcamedialabnc, it would also help to know what kind of errors you're getting when you boot from the live cd [05:18] Ok cool because my Adobe software do not work on Wine [05:18] And one more thing, that I am thinking to make my ubuntu on my website, is it possible? I mean that other people could access my ubuntu on my website? Is it a possible way? [05:18] mkquist, sort of yeah like if i click on music it takes me to the music folder in my media partition [05:18] good one knoppies [05:18] datakid23, pdfedit might be able to do that? [05:19] admin: I am not sure what you want to accomplish [05:19] JamesMean: you can make links, where do you want to click on music? desktop? [05:19] rcamedialabnc, if you're interested in a lightweight version of ubuntu, you should take a look at lubuntu [05:19] I will write it down, I did it a few month ago and gave up on it. [05:19] administrator_, sorta, but not a very good idea. you can let them look at your folders, not much else. Its also a security hazard. [05:19] Ok sound good to me, is it the full os or live cd live Pupple Linux === william is now known as Guest48433 [05:20] pupple? lol [05:20] mkquist, no, i just wanna click on places in menu bar click on the corresponding folder icons, music video etc and be linked to them in the right partition [05:20] rcamedialabnc, it's the same operating system as ubuntu (a full os), just with lower system requirements [05:20] If other can look at my folders on my website, or I make my ubuntu as server for my website, I think both are enough same. [05:20] EvilJon0, thanks for the tip, I'll check it [05:21] Ok cool thanks [05:21] In one I will share some files from pc, and in other I will share files to my website. I think its same, isn't it? [05:21] administrator_, here is a good tutorial on how to set up apache: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP [05:21] I Ok cool thanks for your help. I'm about to download it now. [05:21] administrator_, Im not sure what your on about. Im a little confused as to what you're trying to do. [05:22] rcamedialabnc, you'll have to download a ubuntu alternate cd, and convert it to lubuntu after it's installed [05:22] JamesMean: well like semitones said, if you drag it to the sidepane in nautilus it's a link there [05:22] Let me check that tutorial, and if I got what I want, I will share here after that. [05:22] Take care [05:22] rcamedialabnc, there's no "lubuntu" install disk yet [05:22] admin: you want to share folders from your PC to the net? [05:22] administrator_, you too. [05:23] titos, I think thats what he was saying, but Im not so sure. [05:23] mkquist, you mean create a shortcut to it [05:23] JamesMean: yes, but you can put that in the menu sidebar too [05:24] Ok I do not know how to do that [05:24] Oh well this tutorial is for Ubuntu 6.06, I have 9.04 Is it possible to make it server using apache? [05:24] rcamedialabnc, the first step is to install ubuntu from the alternate cd [05:24] JamesMean: yes [05:24] administrator_: yup [05:24] Does anyone know of a way to run a shell script automatically when a specific webcam is connected to the USB port? [05:25] rcamedialabnc, once that's done, use the command "sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop" to install lubuntu === goose[CoD] is now known as goose [05:25] hi, after extend a volume group with lvm, how can I extend the logic volume within the volume group? [05:25] titos: look into hotplug [05:25] administrator_, an easy way to setup a basic web-server is to install LAMP [05:25] Ok I get you [05:26] kk, and if you need any more help with the install, just ask here [05:26] Ok, i am going through the tutorail [05:26] Alright [05:26] thanks for your help [05:26] mkquist, one last thing only if you don't mind one reason i always have to boot back into windows is the smb sharing of files/folders to my media streamer can this be done in ubuntu? [05:26] What does this red line means coming during conversation,, is it like complain or bad report? [05:26] P2E: no shortcuts for the lazy? :) [05:27] hey i have files on my desktop tat have a lock shaped on them.... hw do i delete these files.... tried changing ownership n everything but didnt work for me... [05:27] JamesMean: yes [05:27] titos: hey, I've never done it, I just know that that's probably your best bet [05:27] rcamedialabnc, any time :) === nick_ is now known as Guest75568 [05:27] titos: also, I'm here for getting support, too [05:27] mkquist, MEAN! how do i go about doing that? [05:27] administrator_, it just means someone typed your name [05:27] trying to start tracker on an ARM board - getting this error - trackerd:18105): Tracker-CRITICAL **: Could not connect to the DBus session bus, /bin/dbus-launch terminated abnormally with the following error: Autolaunch error: X11 initialization failed. [05:27] help me plzz [05:27] JamesMean: you can share with ubuntu easily... thats what you want right? [05:28] anyone know why? [05:28] P2E: what is your issue? [05:28] as long as my media streamer will pickup the folders yep [05:28] xen, do the files have write perms, and did you try doing it from the commandline [05:29] titos: I need to remove pulseaudio from a machine, and I was able to get the package off but I've lost all sound, alsa is installed and working properly, mixer settings look fine, etc [05:29] administrator_, also, you may want to use or look at tasksel as it automates allot of the initial server configurations for you. [05:29] JamesMean: you want to share files from ubuntu correct? [05:29] titos: I've gone to the lowest level and just tried to ogg123 out of the hw device, no dice [05:29] P2E: any error messages? [05:29] mkquist, yes providing its compatible with the streamer to do so [05:29] yea the files do have written permissions... n this is my second day of ubuntu.... can u plzz guide me thru the commands... [05:30] JamesMean: open a terminal and type 'shares-admin' [05:30] the cmds required to chng the ownership [05:30] cheers [05:30] JamesMean: should offer to install samba if you havent already [05:31] downloading em now [05:31] how do you configure services on ubuntu? [05:31] JamesMean: new to linux? [05:31] i see a bunch of promiscuous crap listening on my ports [05:31] xen: can you open a terminal and navigate to where the files are? you know how to cd and such? [05:31] right clicking on them n then properties n then the permisiions.... shows the owner as root [05:31] yea [05:31] mkquist, yeah been using it for only a little while really [05:31] i knw tat [05:32] m already in [05:32] well, the owner being root won't do [05:32] what is your username? [05:32] JamesMean: might wanna look at cairo-dock too [05:32] xen [05:32] mkquist, btw i installed those packages but it keeps popping up saying i need to install em [05:32] xen: try: sudo chown xen [05:32] for example: sudo chown xen something.txt [05:32] ya wait a sec plzz [05:32] JamesMean: hit cancell [05:33] done [05:33] next? [05:33] P2E: xen sudo chown xen:xen [05:33] hello. does anyone know where X is started from with GDM in Karmic? I want to append -config /some/dir/$HOSTNAME to the line that starts X. it's for a multiseat setup. [05:33] scunizi: please don't confuse the poor guy [05:33] done [05:34] xen: if you didn't get an error, try removing the files [05:34] assuming that's the goal [05:34] i_is_broke: yes, yes you are [05:34] mkquist, so its installed even though it says i need to install em? [05:34] hw do u remove a directory? [05:35] P2E: you might want to try to compile pulseaudio from source [05:35] Can I order Ubuntu 64 bit by shipit? [05:35] JamesMean: yeah, its a quirk [05:35] JamesMean: try to set up shares and see [05:35] there is something borked with ghome on my karmic install, and I want to try a last measure before reformatting [05:35] P2E, ? [05:35] xen: you can use rm -r from the commandline, or do chown -R (note the capital r) [05:35] what can happen if I wipte out .gconf*? [05:35] i_is_broke: I was just noting your nickname. general comment. [05:35] anyone using microsoft natural 4000 keyboard and have luck getting the zoom to work? and maybe making it scroll instead? i tried keytouch but it's not working. i also tried setkeycodes but it's not registering. [05:36] P2E, ah ok..lol [05:36] is it a good idea to upgrade to 10.04 now? [05:36] JamesMean: if you can set up a windows share... [05:36] Can I order ubuntu 64 bit by shipit [05:36] not yet but ima working on it. [05:36] P2E:thnxx a lot... worked like a charm... [05:36] isolat3dsh33p: No, 10.04 is still alpha software [05:36] Flannel, I almost upgrade. Haha [05:36] isolat3dsh33p, it is if you want to test the alpha version. But most likely not. [05:36] Can I order ubuntu 64 bit by shipit? [05:36] xen: you seem like you can handle the commandline without too much trouble, google up or find a $2 linux book at the book store and look for something with a linux command reference... the bigger the better [05:37] Flannel, EvilJon0, thanks for saving me :D [05:37] QC_OK: Only the server version. Try your LoCo if you can't get the CD [05:37] mkquist, can i share individual folders instead of the entire contents of the drive? [05:37] LoCo? [05:37] xen: usually the really crappy books at the bookstores "learn linux the easy way!" etc bla are not based on ubuntu but they will still have like a 20 page command guide, and lots of those commands will still work in ubuntu [05:37] does anyone know where i can find documentation about the gdm startup sequence? [05:37] QC_OK: Local Community Team, yeah. Your country, or state, if you're in the US. [05:38] JamesMean: yes [05:38] Australia here [05:38] !au | QC_OK [05:38] QC_OK: The Australian Local Community Team has channels here on Freenode. They are #ubuntu-au for technical discussion, and #ubuntu-au-chat for social chatter. [05:38] JamesMean: when you set up the share just go down to other on the path [05:39] P2E: thnxx a lot... this is my second day on ubuntu... n m learning fast... this forum's great wid lots'a nice ppl in here.... n yaaa m trying to go through as many possible guides as possible.... my head's spinning already.... havent had a sleep since 40 hours.... baaaaah!

[05:43] hello... i have upgraded my ubuntu 8.10 to ubuntu 9.04.. after upgradation very less drive space is left in my ubuntu installation drive.. its size is 15 GB .. before upgrading it some 5.2 GB was free but after upgrading only 3.2 GB is left.. is there any way to free some space in the ubuntu drive..?? please help me out... [05:43] telnet localhost.flsn.org 1155 [05:43] need help bridging two nics [05:44] PenCapChew: see me in #linux [05:44] everytime i want to remove or install software from USC always show this error : http://u.kaskus.us/1/ggpdiput.png [05:44] PenCapChew: I use winscp on windows to transfer files from my linux machines [05:44] KE1HA: dang, already read this one. doesn't have the information i am looking for it. [05:44] shreymech: have you tried $ sudo apt-get autoclean [05:44] shreymech: download a tool called "gdmap" and it will give you a graphical representation of what is using the most disk space [05:44] PenCapChew: but this assumes you have a running ssh server on the linux machine [05:45] Dasei, sorry, i'm new to mirc... how do i get there, lol... i'm such a noob [05:45] ls [05:45] sorry. [05:45] PenCapChew: /join #linux or just click on it maybe [05:45] slickrick_: happens to us all :) [05:45] PenCapChew:/j #linux [05:45] shreymech: I suppose that after all this time, your kernels ocupy a signficant ammount of disk space by now, you may want to uninstall the kernels you no longer use too. [05:45] darolu: actually right now i am upgrading it from 9.04 to 9.10.. so i think i can't run that command now...!! [05:46] I'm there [05:46] Well, it says ##linux overflow [05:46] darulo: how to uninstall the unused kernel.. and how will i know that they r present.. bcz during upgrading installlation i saw a line saying "REMOVING OLD KERNELS" [05:47] slickrick_, what you looking for [05:47] PenCapChew: nick not registered, dcc send, I'll pm you [05:47] darolu: so may be they r uninstalled during upgradation process...?? [05:47] Thanks Dasei [05:47] shreymech: the safest way is to do it via Synaptic; search for "linux-images-2" and remove the ones you're not using; when it finishes upgrading; open a terminal and run this command to find out what kernel you're usign: $ uname -r [05:48] darolu [05:48] KE1HA: was hoping something showed what happened when gdm was started (/etc/init.d/gdm start). i am trying to trace it by reading though the upstart, /etc/gdm and /etc/X11 but can't figure it out. [05:48] is there a way to recover lost root password? [05:48] shreymech: Yes, maybe they'll be uninstalled [05:49] help me plz [05:49] darolu: thanx for your help but how will i know that how many unused kernels are present..??? [05:49] mkquist, sweet dude now what should i do for users.. i wont everybody on the network to be able to read/view but not make any changes etc [05:49] got this error http://u.kaskus.us/1/ggpdiput.png [05:49] dfkjsoadidi: there is a way to reset it [05:49] darolu: is there any way to know that [05:49] really [05:49] dfkjsoadidi: but to recover you'd need to crack it [05:49] if i wanna remove or install software from Ubuntu Software Center [05:49] shreymech: when you search for kernels in synaptic, you'll see them all; you can also do "$ ls /boot" to find out [05:49] JamesMean: just click on read only when you make the share [05:50] is there any way to make certain dns lookups go through my vpn? === semitones is now known as semitones_toad [05:50] shreymech: you may also be able to to use 'sudo apt-get autoremove' which will get rid of old kernels that are no longer being used. [05:50] nice slcikrick [05:50] Hello - I'm looking for someone who knows how to access the home folder within a Ubuntu boot USB. [05:50] mkquist, sweet yeah it did that by default so i just leave the users thing alone then.. [05:51] Tasksel is useful for installing packages in ubuntu, is it right? === semitones_toad is now known as semitones_newt [05:51] JamesMean: good to go then [05:51] darolu: slickrick_: thanx both of u ... currently i m upgarding my version from 9.04 to 9.10 after this i will follow your steps... [05:51] administrator_: Yes, but more for installing groups of packages. [05:51] hi, can i install grub from windows? [05:51] shreymech: good luck ... =) 9.10 is great. [05:51] ok [05:51] Rolaulten, do you mean the home folder of a linux install on your harddrive? Is it encrypted or not? === semitones_newt is now known as semitones [05:52] Rolaulten: you got a bootable usb , want to access it's home ? [05:52] is there any way to make certain dns lookups go through my vpn? [05:52] slickrick_, as you probably know, the init.d gdm is just the control script, your looking in the right spot with upstrat and initscripts [05:52] dasei; bingo [05:52] Rolaulten: open a trml, insert usb .. [05:52] DasEi; whats its path? [05:52] darolu: i checked i think i have an old kernel 2.6.27-17 and currently i am using 2.6.28- 18 [05:53] Tell me if I think right: sudo apt-get install --- and sudo tasksel install --- both are same? [05:53] mkquist, ok its working but for some reason its asking for a user/pass on my media streamer.. it didn't ask this on windows [05:53] Rolaulten: we check now : sudo fdisk -l [05:53] KE1HA: yeah, i am looking for the part where it actually stats Xorg but can't find it. I want to add an additional parameter to it (the -config one). no luck finding it so far. [05:53] Rolaulten: get devicename of usb [05:53] administrator_: Not quite. tasksel installs "tasks" (groups of packages), apt-get installs individual packages [05:53] shreymech: yes, both kernels are "old", current ubuntu kernel is 2.6.31-19 [05:53] DasEi, its mounted, I'm lookin at the files within it now === Kyra is now known as Guest88824 [05:54] Ok that means tasksel is more useful [05:54] darolu: i think that the new one will automatically installed after upgradation to 9.10...??? is it [05:54] DasEi; what I cant find is a location of the home folder, I found everything else - eg the install files but not the home folder... === rainofkayos is now known as SolarisBoy [05:54] administrator_: sometimes, yes. Other times, no. You'd find it difficult painting a portrait with a paint roller. [05:54] JamesMean: use ur username and password [05:54] shreymech: that is correct [05:54] Rolaulten: mount << shows where it's mounted [05:55] Ok [05:55] slickrick_: hey what about 10.4 .. it is LTS ... it will be great i think...??? [05:55] Rolaulten: like /media/usb [05:55] will is come in the first week of april...?? [05:55] DasEi; I'm not being clear... [05:55] shreymech: Last Thursday of April [05:55] shreymech: it comes out on April 29 [05:55] shreymech: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule [05:55] administrator_, tasksel is best if you want an a standard install. If you need a custom solution, individual installation would be best. [05:55] shreymech: i always look forward to new releases of ubuntu! [05:55] Rolaulten: enter mount in trml, look it up [05:55] mkquist, cant i make like a guest account like on windows so i don't need to ask for a user/pass everytime? [05:55] DasEi; I'm at /media/USB, looking at the filesystem on the USB drive, and not seeing were the home folder for the boot is located [05:56] Rolaulten: /home or /boot ? [05:56] additionally, you'll find most documentation ( how-too's etc ) are based on a tasksel installation. [05:57] DasEi, sorry, its...um...the boot disk's home folder [05:57] mkquist, its a bit of a pain on a media streamer no keyboard haha [05:57] Rolaulten: /home so, back to trml : [05:57] Rolaulten: cd /media/USB [05:57] will is come in the first week of april...?? [05:57] rww: thanx buddy.... [05:57] Rolaulten: cd home [05:57] Rolaulten: ls [05:58] JamesMean: i believe you only do it the first time, [05:58] JamesMean: is your media streamer a windows machine? [05:58] !lucid | shreymech [05:58] shreymech: Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 2010 - Lucid is NOT released and is NOT stable - Discussion and support only in #ubuntu+1 [05:58] DasEi; dumps me on the wrong hard drive. Pretend for the sake of arument that nothing other hten the USB disk is mounted [05:58] Rolaulten: sudo apt-get install pastebinit [06:00] moving the corrupt .gconf to tmp fixed my gnome problems [06:00] now how to get a default .gconf back? [06:00] DasEi; Now, I have a handful of files, none of which look like the normal / directory...I'm trying to access what would be the home drectory should I boot from this disk rather then my normal boot order. [06:00] Rolaulten: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit [06:01] Rolaulten: give url from trml in here [06:01] is there a way to use usb stick as cache like speed boost in windows 7/vista? [06:01] DasEi: wouldn't pastebinit go first? [06:01] after lvresize, the logical volume's size is extended, but "df" still report unextended size, why?

Nothing personal but the drive in question is mounted [06:02] Rolaulten: ...it isn't insecure information either. [06:02] Rolaulten: you said you where on the wrong disc and my crystall ball lacks batterys [06:02] lol [06:02] DasEi; No I know, sorry === william is now known as Guest26827 [06:03] DasEi; I'm at the right spot. trust me, here let me give you the output of a ls real fast [06:03] mkquist, put my user/pass in but it didn't work [06:03] toastedmilk: kernel panic is never good, best of lucks.

[06:19] prohna, to see a list of shells available: cat /etc/shells [06:19] zilkomaa: There should be four entries in the list.

[06:20] soreau: i have default, advanced, medium, minimal, ultimate?

[06:30] jazz: read url given [06:30] darolu, I have no idea what that link was you posted me, but I'm reinstalling the kernel image file from a live CD [06:31] DasEi, non-free then would be why i got the message?. [06:32] jazz: no, you get that error because you haven't add the pgp-key for apt [06:32] toastedmilk: oh OK good luck, I hope it works; that was the "REISUB" sequence, it's used to restart the computer giving the order to the kernel directly [06:32] jazz: http://tiny.cc/QKgQp [06:33] DasEi got you... thanks then. oh also i can set up offline right? like adding winXP later? i left my disc at home. [06:34] jazz: you want to add xp to the same harddrive your ubu is ? [06:35] Hi.

[06:35] yes [06:35] jazz: did you leave space for it ? [06:36] yeah in the set up i made some room. but i dont have my xp disc its at my house [06:36] jazz: yes, can do it later, but your grub will be lost, so have to reinstall it (xp overwrites the mbr) [06:37] DasEi, even on the virtual box? [06:37] jazz: for that also have a live-ubu cd handy [06:37] jazz: dualboot on a vb ??? why not have another vm ????

[06:45] true [06:45] Caelte shoot, my friend [06:45] cthulhu2: But I would appreciate it if you'd tone it down a bit [06:45] Amaranth: Sure thing. My apologies. [06:45] I have a wireless and a wire - the wireless is attached to the internet and the wired is just a local network [06:46] bias [06:46] notdkw: I am just learning drbl (clonzilla) and according to the book, I would need to configure 2 network segments... [06:46] how can I tell Ubuntu to use the wireless for internet traffic [06:46] DasEi, thanks for the link, and help im going to read it now, [06:46] and thanx cthulu [06:46] Caelte: hmm, networkmanager should have figured that out automatically [06:46] ^ [06:46] jazz: k, and no dualboot needed for running xp in vbox [06:46] as soon as I plug the wire in it stops using the wireless [06:47] Caelte, as far as i know, both dont work together [06:47] You should be able to just connect to the wireless network immediately and if you have that wired residual connection it shouldnt make a difference Caelte [06:47] xrfang: unsure what clonezilla is. But check out ifcongig for the interface that holds 10.0.0.1, virutal box should have created one, then checkout your route table and set that interface as the gateway for 10.0.0.0/24 [06:47] but i may be wrong, i did read that somewhere [06:47] xrfang: ifconfig rather. [06:47] notdkw, thanks, I will try it now [06:48] Caelte: Well `route add default dev wlan0` should do what you want [06:48] if one goes down, the other starts working is what i have seen [06:48] perhaps my trying to give it a static ip address on the wired connection is interfering with it working properly?

Additional suggestions i followed was removing quite and splash from the boot arguments. This didn't work for me, but if safe graphical mode doesn't work for you give it a try. nomodeset might also have a better result for you. Best of luck!

[09:00] ZykoticK9, the command you gave I am just using it, [09:01] Hey, does anybody know if it is possible (no less simple) to take the installation off of one computer and move it to another, kinda like making a back up and restoring it, except to a different computer (different hardware)? [09:01] i have decided that i no longer trust google...are there tools specific to ubuntu for setting up a personal mail server, or should I just be looking at general information? [09:01] !clone | CellarRoot [09:01] CellarRoot: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [09:01] ZykoticK9, ok [09:01] CellarRoot, You can usually just swap the hard drive into the new machine [09:02] or copy an image of it [09:02] Well i'm looking to clone the thing and I've had problems where after doing things like selecting proprietary drivers and such things on the new machine are never functional. [09:02] hello [09:03] anarki2004, i've never heard of a "personal" mail server in linux, but there are plenty of email servers (best of luck man - they can be tricky) [09:03] CellarRoot, properietary drivers like Ubuntu-restricted-extras don't get "cloned" me thinks [09:03] CellaRoot look here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=599599 [09:03] ZykoticK9: what is "!clone" ??? [09:04] ZykoticK9: i have just been hearing of people running personal mail/web servers to avoid having data travel through yahoo/google/etc servers and thought it would be an interesting prospect to undertake [09:04] ahh sweet, that looks exactly like what I'm looking for, sorry I didn't find that when I was doing searches. [09:04] CellarRoot, i was calling the bot "ubottu" to give you in info on replicating on system to another [09:05] anarki2004, ya, just run your own servers [09:05] ZykoticK9: ahh thanks [09:05] olaa [09:06] ori, hi [09:06] ZykoticK9: so to reiterate, you don't know of any tools specific to ubuntu for operating a server?

[09:07] ZykoticK9: that would be nice for getting started [09:07] anarki2004, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MailServer [09:07] http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition/features/mailserver [09:07] good morning [09:07] thanks for the links [09:07] i have installed ubuntu netbook remix 9.10 on a asus eepc with a intel atom cpu.. [09:08] anarki2004, seriously man it's a big undertaking - but you'll learn a TON if you do it :) I've never done mail or dns servers but pretty much everything else. [09:08] install ok... but screen is slow.. if i move, minimize, maximize windows it goes slowly [09:08] any idea what to change to get this work good? [09:08] i don't won't win7 on ths eepc [09:08] grr [09:08] noaXess, disable visual effects? [09:08] ZykoticK9: i figure this is going to be very complicated, but for some reason I like staying up late getting frustrated at my computer [09:08] indus: they are on None.. [09:09] just upgrading the fresh installed system now to the latest packages.. === dream is now known as Guest48670 [09:09] noaXess, did u check for restricted drivers for the laptop ? === Ronx_ is now known as ROnx^ [09:09] joebodo, i thought eepc is all open stuff [09:10] i also have thested the kubuntu netbook edition.. same occurrence [09:10] joebodo: i checked.. no restricted driver.. === GhostEyes is now known as RainbowEyes [09:10] there is a intel grafic on board.. [09:10] noaXess, what EEE is it? [09:10] wait.. [09:10] martilla [09:10] indus, i had to install a patch for wireless on eee HA [09:11] indus, cant remember if i had to use proprietary for video [09:11] joebodo, what kind of patch [09:11] If i ssh a server, and start forexample matlab.... Will the process then run on the server, so that i when i load files it is loaded from the server-file-system...and so that i might log off ssh, and at a later point log on again and continue where I left last time.....So that the process keeps running while I am logged on? [09:11] indus, the default driver drops packets continuously - so i had to get an updated driver [09:11] Diverdude: Sounds like you want screen. [09:12] MenZa, screen? [09:12] !screen | Diverdude [09:12] Diverdude: Screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen === PhilippeD_ is now known as PhilippeD [09:12] ZykoticK9: EEE-1101HA [09:12] anarki2004, it's a good project, but mail-server administration if not for the faint at heart. [09:12] indus, it's my daughters - i dont have it in front of me - so cant recall what the exact driver is [09:12] joebodo, ok [09:12] np [09:12] KE1HA: noted [09:12] joebodo, probably they updated from update manager [09:12] Diverdude: Basically, you ssh in, open screen, then you have a new terminal to work with. When you leave the ssh session, you detach the screen. When you then ssh BACK in, you can do screen -r and you have the previous terminal output readily available. [09:13] MenZa, aha that sounds nice....So basically the process keeps running at the server? [09:13] Correct, Diverdude. [09:13] MenZa: what is keyboard shortcut for that? [09:13] ZykoticK9: Atom Z520, 2048MB, 250GB, 11.6" GT WXGA HD (1366x768) [09:13] MenZa, The thing is I have some pretty time-demanding jobs i need to run..... [09:13] ZykoticK9: and the Intel GMA 500 shared Grafik [09:13] noaXess, is this you http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8729277 [09:14] noaXess, do you use compiz ? [09:14] MenZa, okay that sounds nice....And does it require anything special on the server except for ssh? [09:14] Diverdude: For example, I run irssi -- the IRC client -- on my server. When I detach, I'm automatically set /away because of a script I have for irssi, and when I log back in, I'm automatically attached again, and can continue IRC'ing. [09:14] joebodo: don't know.. it's a fresh install.. [09:14] Diverdude: Yep, screen. But that might even be installed by default. [09:14] rumpsy: The keyboard shortcut for what? [09:14] ZykoticK9: not me.. but will read it :) [09:14] any idea how I can open a windoze .exe in Ubuntu Linux? [09:14] !wine | nomnex [09:14] nomnex: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [09:14] nomnex, with sudo apt-get install wine [09:14] MenZa: detach and attach screen ! [09:14] noaXess, not much to read - same hardware no solution :| [09:14] MenZa, I have to check that....this is a university server...so i dont know if that is installed [09:15] ZykoticK9: jep, i see.. hm.. [09:15] MenZa, any easy way to check that? [09:15] rumpsy: You can detach with ctrl-a d, and you re-attach with screen -r [09:15] joebodo: any idea? [09:15] noaXess, what model ? and what do you have set for system->appearance->visual effects ? [09:15] hint [09:15] MenZa, I don't say to run it, I want to decompile it [09:15] Diverdude: Try writing "screen" and see what happens. [09:15] MenZa: ty [09:15] joebodo: ASUS EEE-1101HA Schwarz, Atom Z520, 2048MB, 250GB, 11.6" GT WXGA HD (1366x768) and effects are to NONE [09:15] MenZa, at least i can do man screen [09:15] MenZa, so i guess its there :) [09:15] Diverdude: Hooray, it's installed! [09:16] MenZa, sweet mother hehehe :D [09:16] indus, same I don't want to run, I want to open it [09:16] noaXess, karmic ? [09:16] Diverdude: screen has a bit of a learning curve. Good people wrote a program called 'byobu', which simplifies everything. Check it out with < sudo apt-get install byobu > [09:16] MenZa, tool sounds perfect [09:16] nomnex, yes install wine first [09:16] !byobu > Diverdude [09:16] MenZa: by default its installed i think so [09:16] joebodo: jep.. ubuntu netbook remix 9.10 [09:16] Diverdude: It's quite possibly the program I use the most. [09:16] nomnex, with the command sudo apt-get install wine [09:16] nomnex, then just double click and open exe === Gateway is now known as Guest96395 [09:16] noaXess, does this apply to you https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCardsPoulsbo [09:16] I wanna VPN between an ubuntu machien and a windows machine on internet. Would like not to involve any extra hardware. Whats the best way? [09:17] noaXess, 1 min... [09:17] MenZa, why is screen difficult to use? Isn't it just a ssh-terminal? [09:17] Jordon, my screen is still goofy [09:17] joebodo: ok [09:17] indus, to open (see the content of a .exe)? Wine will run it, I don't want that [09:17] nomnex, an exe can never be opened [09:17] anyone know what are the gains in clustering pc's together? [09:17] help! my laptop lost power while i was upgrading to 9.10 and now the computer wont reboot due to some error [09:17] Diverdude: It uses some quirky keyboard shortcuts, but it's also very powerful. For example, you can run several terminals in it, and change between them, instead of having several ssh sessions. [09:17] ZykoticK9: jep.. it's a Intel GMA 500 grafic chp [09:17] going to an earlier version(s) in the recovery mode to see what happens [09:17] chip ^ [09:17] its a binary and it just executes [09:17] how do i install a .tgz file [09:18] MenZa, ahh okay...it wouldn't by any chance be emacs shortcuts :D [09:18] M3TVF: A .tgz file is an archive. What are you trying to install? [09:18] indus, do you mean on Linux? of course you can open them on Windoze when you decompile a software [09:18] Diverdude: I don't use emacs; I use vim :) [09:18] i do get some strange message....vga is depreciated or soemthing more like that [09:18] M3TVF, tar -v xzvf filename targetlocation [09:18] Hi All, I'm new to linux. recently was trying to setup ubuntu 9.10 server but got problem in setting up the network with 2 NICs. anyboy cares to help? TQ [09:18] nomnex, yes when you decompile, but your question is different [09:18] reeniginEesreveR: many programs are there!, or share through web server [09:18] MenZa, hehe...okay...i use emacs.....would be okay if screen had emacs shortcuts [09:18] Diverdude: ^a-c will create a new screen session, ^a-a will swap between two sessions, ^a-1 will move to session 1, ^a-2 will move to session 2, etc. [09:18] noaXess, there used to be issues with clutter and intel graphics - but those have been resolved - not sure if there may be an issue with your specific vid card [09:18] !details | lindevox [09:19] ugh [09:19] lindevox: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [09:19] rumpsy, could you please name a few of those programs you'd recomnd? [09:19] lindevox, dhcp server not setup correctly? iptable rules not set up correctly [09:19] joebodo: ok.. will try this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCardsPoulsbo#karmic [09:19] reeniginEesreveR: i use dropbox... [09:19] help! my laptop lost power while i was upgrading to 9.10 and now the computer wont reboot due to "mountall: symbol lookup error" [09:19] indus, is there a Linux software to decompile .exe? [09:19] Diverdude: This might get you started -- http://aperiodic.net/screen/quick_reference [09:19] at netroot, can make the computer still connect to wifi and update software packages? [09:19] no idea [09:19] nomnex, no idea [09:19] indus, thanks [09:20] Is anyone able to assist me in setting up a global address book on a linux based mail server? [09:20] oriwb, if u want ur stuff just get a live cd and pull the data u want to backup and reboot? === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz [09:20] noaXess, btw - im able to run compiz with lucid on my eee 900 (very underpowered) - but lucid is only alpha 2 [09:20] anyone here know anything about clustering pc's together? [09:20] q0_0p well id like my computer to work too [09:21] man usermod: "DESCRIPTION: The usermod command modifies the system account files to reflect the changes that are specified on the command line." What is a 'system account file'? [09:21] q0_0p, it's not worth the trouble [09:21] will come back.. [09:22] ah my bad [09:22] MenZa, thanks a lot [09:22] Diverdude: welcome :) [09:22] i have a command shell....how can i establish my wifi from command line? [09:22] using ipconfig, perhaps [09:22] > help! my laptop lost power while i was upgrading to 9.10 and now the computer wont reboot due to "mountall: symbol lookup error" is there anyway to deal with this without a live cd?

[09:25] wojox, my comp died in mid upgrade to 9.10 [09:26] > indus can i download a live cd, and put it on a usb stick, and boot from there? [09:26] indus, FIY, I found one decompiler running on Ubuntu, boomerang, http://boomerang.sourceforge.net/ reading the doc now [09:26] oriwb, sure [09:26] oriwb, but you need to make usb stick bootable, you need software for thta [09:27] wojox, indus if you update to karmic you won't have Grub2 or EXT4 partitions (that can be good or bad depending on your views on things) [09:27] oriwb, download unetbootin for windows, select what iso you want to download and write it [09:27] with iwconfig, i looked at the manpage, but sadly i am clueless to the link you feed for it to establish a connection [09:27] !usb | oriwb [09:27] oriwb: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [09:27] they both suck ZykoticK9 :D [09:27] indus write it to a usb stick?

I tried this : echo "//XXX ". date; [09:39] But that is not working [09:39] noaXess, did it work? [09:39] joebodo: now will try kubuntu netbook edition :) [09:39] ZykoticK9: jep.. [09:39] noaXess, ha [09:39] How can i paste a string and the result of a function (here: date) toether [09:39] e2ee: out of curiosity, what's your hardware configuration? how many RAM do you have? firefox is very heavy, not enough RAM may be the reason of firefox crashing [09:39] DjAngo23: depends on your irc client [09:40] DjAngo23, use `date` [09:40] !paste | DjAngo23 [09:40] DjAngo23: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

[09:41] oriwb, yes anything [09:41] Which else browsers other than firefox are there suppourted in ubuntu [09:41] e2ee: ubuntu should be fine then [09:41] e2ee: OK it is not the RAM (might be damaged though, if something else crashes too); try another web browser or downloading firefox from mozilla.com [09:41] oriwb, i think possible, just try [09:41] oriwb,the software will tell you [09:41] erUSUL: Why that multiline thing ? [09:41] darolu i tried it [09:41] e2ee: 9.10 is plenty quick [09:41] h [09:42] ya but firefox crashes i.e. screen goes black [09:42] How do I produce the linux-headers-*_all.deb with make-kpkg? [09:42] DjAngo23: i probably mssundertood your question. i thought you wanted to paste the output of a command here in the channel [09:42] !browsers [09:42] Browsers available for Ubuntu: Firefox (GTK, Gecko engine), Konqueror (KDE/Qt, KHTML engine), Epiphany (GTK, Gecko engine), Dillo (GTK), w3m (terminal-based), Links2 (terminal-based or graphical, see !man page), edbrowse (command-line), Opera (Qt, proprietary) [09:42] !kernel | tapio [09:42] tapio: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [09:42] llutz & erUSUL & joebodo : I'm talking about the command line in ubuntu, not in irc... [09:42] DjAngo23: like " echo today is $(date) " [09:42] e2ee: pretty much all browsers but I.E. and Safari are supported in Ubuntu; I like Chromium the best, but there are other good ones like Opera, Epiphany, Konqueror and tens if not hundreds of firefox forks. [09:42] llutz: Gonna try, moment [09:42] DjAngo23: i know llutz already answered you [09:42] ZykoticK9: :) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8808988#post8808988 [09:43] DjAngo23, `date` [09:43] llutz: Exactly that, thanks [09:43] indus: deb http://cran.bic.nus.edu.sg/bin/linux/ubuntu jaunty/ this is it [09:43] noaXess, NICE! [09:43] from where can I download those deb files [09:43] e2ee: have had no probs w/ firefox [09:43] maddux: to you all ready have a connection to the internet? [09:43] e2ee, use chrome from google [09:43] e2ee: official deb files are located at: http://packages.ubuntu.com [09:44] e2ee, google.com/chrome [09:44] Thanksssssss [09:44] e2ee: i like chrome even at beta its great [09:44] indus, actually chromium is MUCH better (but much bugger too) [09:44] ZykoticK9, yes its develpment ppa so i never recommend it [09:44] indus, but it's build into lucid ;) [09:44] ZykoticK9, we have chrome from google officially so its better i feel [09:44] e2ee, firefox is rock solid - not sure why ur having issues [09:45] ZykoticK9, it is? i have lucid but i didnt see [09:45] e2ee: same here [09:45] indus, but lags behind in features - no Bookmark sync yet :( [09:45] What's up The_Toxic_Mite? [09:45] ZykoticK9, i mean, i can find in synaptic? [09:45] joebodo: Firefox is "rock solid" and "rock heavy"; I think it is the most resource-demmanding browser out there. [09:45] wojox: ? [09:45] lucid is not stable... cmon [09:45] indus, in lucid yes [09:45] !offtopic | ZykoticK9 :P [09:45] ZykoticK9 :P: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [09:46] darolu, much less that chrome - that uses much more memory due to partitioning in tabs [09:46] lucid - not to be discussed [09:46] ZykoticK9, iam stuck in lucid without ATI proprietary driver, i cant wait to switch [09:46] not here anyway [09:46] greedy - some are [09:46] darolu, open 10 tabs in FF and 10 in chrome and compare [09:47] also, i dont agree with using ppa's instead of official repos [09:47] chrome is so wonderful really, FF is like a snail now relatively [09:47] Joebodo: I actually have (average) up to 15 tabs open all the time; and chrome is way faster and doesn't eat much RAM [09:48] i dont have connection with the ubuntu machine, no [09:48] darolu, there's many comparisons that have been written to support what i say [09:48] indus: i am using this url for help http://www.packtpub.com/article/create-local-ubuntu-repository-using-apt-mirror-apt-cacher [09:48] also try dragging and open a new window from a tab and put if back to tab mode ,so fast [09:48] Joebodo: Firefox is good, is OK if you or others like it more, I personally prefer Chromium and in my experience, it demmands less resources. [09:48] The_Toxic_Mite: Thought you were the same person on my friends list on th forum. Just sayng hi. [09:49] darolu, chrome has a separate process for each tab - each process is the size of the browser (approx) [09:49] koolhead11, what are you trying ? [09:49] wojox: Hey! Yes I am on your friends list on the forum :P [09:49] hey all... I have installed Ubuntu 9.10 (from alternate) an old pc with an Ensoniq ES1371 [AudioPCI-97] (rev 06) soundcard. I can't get sound to work. snd_ens1371,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss, snd_mixer_oss, snd_pcm and other sound related modules are automatically loaded, but there are no /dev/dsp, /dev/audio and /dev/mixer devices and pulse-audio defaults to dummy output. Any help please? I am googling, but haven't found anything useful till now. [09:49] .. [09:49] indus: i took that as refernce i need to create my own local ubuntu repository for karmic. so that all user can access all packages from my server [09:49] koolhead11, of course [09:50] koolhead11, so is there a problem [09:50] joebodo: yes I know how it manages RAM, makes it more stable too... uhmmm remember this is not a chat room nor a flame war one =) you prefer firefox I prefer chromium, it's cool [09:50] darolu, not sure if chromium handles tabs the same as chrome... (process wise) [09:50] wojox, i dont have a connection on that machine yet [09:50] indus: no.i wanted to know about the line in the file saying debian-installer [09:50] joebodo, same [09:50] i wanted to know what is it used for [09:50] joebodo: yes it does; chrome is based on chromium project, you can say chromium is the development stage of chrome versions [09:50] joebodo, a separate process [09:51] indus, kk [09:51] chrome is proprietary btw [09:51] does anyone know the Ubuntu Server IRC channel? [09:51] strange but true [09:51] indus: haha [09:51] Nitemovz, #ubuntu-server [09:51] thanks [09:52] maddux: Are you using Broadcom?

[09:55] usernet: k3b errored? never had problems except media [09:55] usernet: OK, try burning a CD using the command line, if it fails it will return a very specific error message that can help fix the problem; this link explains how to do it: http://sharkysoft.com/tutorials/linuxtips/cdcommands/ [09:56] indus: okey [09:56] darolu: ok, i will try [09:56] bump [09:56] Bushman: See her: http://wojox.homelinux.net/?p=13 [09:56] wojox: ok, w8 [09:57] wojox: been there, done that [09:57] i just need to use the ifconfig or otherwise to make a connection [09:57] seems app-get update will get the updates [09:57] root@bushman-laptop:/usr/lib/firefox/plugins# java -version [09:57] can anyone tell me how to get rid of KDE wallet?

It's after I shutdown and then power it back up that it reboots. [10:05] coppelman, you can install the compiz config settings manager (if you want I can go look for the name of the package, its in the repos) and then in the "general options" there is desktop size, and you can specify the width and height. [10:05] darolu: its H2S [10:05] coppelman, its called simple-ccsm [10:05] indus, not that one, the complicated one. [10:06] sorry i missed your message because of the misspelling [10:06] H25: heh [10:06] :D [10:06] Bushman: You're using Firefox?

(I use expo alot) [10:09] indus: i've also tried changing it [10:09] I was wondering if anyone here is using neotel?

[10:11] Bushman, remove cookies, quit browser and check again with sun [10:11] i had to chang the number of desk tops [10:11] hmm... [10:11] you think? [10:11] Bushman, but i suggest using the openjdk one [10:11] in the desk top size tab [10:11] Bushman, is this 64 bit FF [10:11] indus: sorry, no, i'm still 32 [10:12] knoppies- right click on the current workspace, and select 4 workspaces [10:12] Bushman, wow you guessed my age [10:12] Bushman, anyways, try verify with java site again:? [10:12] coppelman, thanks. Im gonna have to give that a shot. [10:12] Bushman, did you install the browser plugin though, [10:12] but im all so use 6 gig ram [10:13] H2S: It may be integrated with KDE-base-runtime; all I can think of is disabling it, that way it won't bother you anymore; try "/usr/bin/kwalletmanager --show [10:13] Bushman, probably not? [10:13] indus: maybe [10:13] * daurnimator waves [10:13] hi , anyone here using neotel on ubuntu 9.10 karmic [10:13] !poll [10:13] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [10:13] all the tutorials claim that i need a symlink and viola, should work [10:13] indus: no? [10:13] help; mv is seg faulting; when it does it takes the whole computer with it [10:13] shogun_ubuntu, Im not sure what you mean by "current workspace" if you mean my desktop, nautilus does not draw my desktop. [10:13] and spent the cash so i cant say 4 all pc intel cpu give more trob then there worth even with so tangs youd never think of [10:13] (can't even rseiub) [10:14] ok [10:14] darolu: bash: /usr/bin/kwalletmanager: No such file or directory [10:14] coppelman, you seem to have the setup of my dreams. [10:14] knoppies - what ver are you using? [10:14] buongiorno [10:14] newegg :) [10:14] is xubuntu good for celeron 700 with 364 MB of RAM? [10:14] shogun_ubuntu, the desktop plugin to compiz, that way each one of my virtual workspaces has its own wallpaper. [10:14] H2S: heh, it's still trying to invoke it? [10:15] kubanc, you might want to consider lubuntu [10:15] knoppies - right click your bottom (or any) panel and select add to panel [10:15] Bushman: what? [10:15] kubanc, or crunchbang [10:15] if i had 8 sreens id be happy but cant find the mother bord to do it [10:15] then add the "workspace switcher" [10:15] shogun_ubuntu, oh, you talking about virtual spaces, we were not talking about that, we were talking about 4 monitors working on the same PC. [10:15] H2S: uhmm I suppose it changed with KDE 4, well open it the way you know and browse preferences; it has a disable kwallet option. [10:16] joebodo, but lubuntu has beta version of karmic koala [10:16] coppelman, you could use 2 seperate PCs with 'synergy' but then you cant drag apps from one PC over to the other. You can use X over SSH though. [10:16] H2S: That's all I can think of right now, =( [10:16] H2S: what's with the error? [10:16] Bushman, sudo apt-get install icedtea6-plugin? [10:16] kubanc, lubuntu-desktop is not beta [10:16] dam never thought of that [10:17] indus: icedtea? [10:17] kubanc, xubuntu and regular ubuntu memory requirements are almost the same - maybe too much for 384 [10:17] knoppies, ah ok [10:17] Bushman, yes [10:17] *364 [10:17] indus: is it for sun java RE? [10:17] joebodo, can you give me homepage for lubuntu? [10:17] knoppies, i never got x to work with ssh, what is it exactly? [10:17] Bushman, no for open jdk [10:17] ssh -X user@host [10:17] indus: then you didn't get my point [10:17] knxville, get that? [10:18] kubanc, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu [10:18] indus: i need to compleet the sun-java plugin instalation [10:18] Bushman, ok 1 sec [10:18] knxville, I think x11forwarding is enabled by default these days, but you may have to edit your config file on your server, let me get a webpage that describes it.

[10:20] H2S: I'm reading KDE4 forums, seems like the best way to stop the annoyance is to set a blank password, and hit on "allow always" when it jumps. [10:21] indus: is it avilable for old ubuntu? (8.04) [10:21] H2S: You don't have it under KMenu > System Settings > Advanced > KDE Wallet?

[10:21] darolu: im in gnome [10:21] Bushman, no no, just type icedtea in synaptic [10:21] nope, never seen such thing [10:21] joebodo, as i see here, these are ubuntu distros build on other GUI. isn't this the same if i install manualy openbox on ubuntu GNOME version, and then delete GNOME GUI [10:21] how to clean the tmp folder files in ubuntu just like windows [10:21] ??/ [10:22] Would someone be able to tell me how to update the trackers in qbittorrent?? [10:22] H2S: can you summon it with Alt+F2? [10:22] need hlp with Neotel if any1 can help please pm me, thanks [10:22] kubanc, somewhat - but why do that instead of using the derivative ? [10:23] darolu: there's no trace of this thing on my system [10:23] indus: i understand you sugest me the icedtea but what did you mean by "plugin finder" and what should be the proper name of the symlink and where should i put it? [10:24] joebodo, i agree, OK, even if it is beta version i'll try LXDE, thnx for info joebodo [10:24] kubanc, good luck [10:24] hola [10:24] hol [10:24] Bushman, i mean, when you visit a java or flash site, the system automatically opens the plugin finder window [10:24] a [10:24] indus: no it doesn't, it tries to run the applet [10:25] but it doesn't works [10:25] darolu: there's no trace of this thing on my system [10:25] Bushman, visit another java site [10:25] H2S: Do you use Kopete or any other KDE application?

[10:26] joebodo: heh, if that only would force firefox to use sun-java, why not? [10:27] darolu: thanks for your help [10:27] H2S: kwallet might have come with it [10:27] synaptic reports that i have icedtea up to date [10:27] indus: now what? [10:27] Bushman, so you seem to have all things [10:28] Bushman, remove all java stuff from synaptic, then clear cookies and reopen browser [10:28] Bushman, remove iced tea with configuration files [10:28] Bushman, java too, then wait for plugin finder to auto start [10:28] hello can wine harm my pc ?

[10:31] !root [10:31] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [10:31] sillis: take the auto out, add defaults. [10:31] Meaning that line 18 [10:31] darolu: ok [10:31] indus:its gryphon my i pm you?

[10:34] Bushman, install sun java plugin :) [10:34] that's what i WAS doing [10:34] Bushman, well happens sometimes [10:35] Bushman, wait [10:35] hi there [10:35] Bushman, have you tried the gcj-webplugin try that one [10:35] silis: yeah, defaults,user,exec,rw is right [10:35] indus: first i have to reinstall all that crap i've removed [10:35] usernet: I'm reading it [10:36] Bushman, which crap [10:36] Bushman, only install gcj this time [10:36] I have about 5 ips assigned to the same interface on my server, and need a couple of services to connect out through one IP [10:37] ie: any remote service should see only one IP [10:37] how could I do that other than using squid anonymizing [10:37] darolu: okay, thank you! [10:38] on my boot up to a bad screen, i tried recovery even to the oldest recovery, and still a scrammbled screen on startup. i got an error message that likely helps .... vga788 is depreciated [10:38] jijutm: dont understand your problem, but maybe masquerading/netfilter might helt [10:38] p [10:38] guys i need some expert at rsync who explains me some things. i'm on my purpose to read the holy man but need some explanations at some points [10:38] says use [10:38] jijutm, usually it is the main IP of the server [10:38] Bushman, or try the icedtea one [10:39] obiwan_: normally just asking the question might be better than first asking for experts... [10:39] :))))) [10:39] when you connect from your server, by default they see only the main ip [10:39] usernet: try this first: cdrecord --scanbus it will tell you your dev info. Then do: cdrecord -v speed=4 dev=0,0,0* -data yourfile.; use the info you got with scanbus instead of 0,0,0 [10:39] @badserii: yea.. the main ip only [10:39] says use "gfxpayload=800x600x16,800x600 <===what is that meaning for this machine? [10:39] ok nibbler [10:40] badserii: yea.. the main ip only, but I would like to tell them I am from another IP [10:40] indus: i'm on the gcj thing [10:40] darolu: this k3b error http://rinovan.pastebin.com/f6f5257f9 [10:40] Hi *, I'm looking for a web tool to validate some regex (BRE), do you have any advice ? [10:40] Bushman, found the plugin ?web? === Mowee`Bnc is now known as Mowee [10:40] nibbler: do you think netfilter would do the job [10:40] jijutm, on what ports you will be connecting? [10:41] jijutm, I mean, to what ports your applications will connect [10:41] jijutm: i'm not sure if i understood your problem right [10:41] darolu: It still has root access only [10:41] Beginning with rsync 3.0.0, rsync always sends these implied directories as real directories in the file list, even if a path element is really a symlink on the sending side. This prevents some really unexpected behaviors when copying the full path of a file that you didn't realize had a symlink in its path. option -R man rsync. Could anybody explain me what 'unexpected problems' are you supposed to have without that option? [10:41] http / https I think [10:41] badserii, http / https I think [10:41] jijutm: you did not even tell us if the different IPs are in the same subnet, which could make routing a bit messy [10:42] i Dont get this.. [10:42] nibbler, sadly yes [10:42] newbie here [10:42] jijutm: what is the purpose of this weird config then? [10:42] nibbler, [10:43] sos: i want to change my nick, help please [10:43] nibbler, I am already running https on the primary IP, for one client, and provided this IP to all the banks to integrate the same [10:43] darolu: Does i have to edit / update something? [10:43] indus: installed the gcjwebplugin package, the symlik was created [10:43] indus: java still don't work [10:44] indus: am ahving an error [10:44] jijutm: why not just work with virtual hosts, if its all about http[s]? [10:44] now another client too wants the same.. I mean online banking and debit card payment.. and the bank needs IP [10:44] hello everybody please help me... someone told me to put sudo apt-get autoclean command in terminal and after using that so many softwares are deleted from my system.. :'( why it happened... [10:44] :( [10:44] According to this gnome panel applet, ive uploaded 109gb in the last 5 days. I know thats impossible on my net connection, what other reason could there be for this unusually high number? [10:44] give me 1 min folks [10:44] nibbler, so I can give the same IP for both clients ? [10:44] silis: you just need to reboot (in theory) [10:44] indus: apt-mirror: can't chdir to skel at /usr/bin/apt-mirror line 320. [10:45] jijutm: your apache can host different domains on the same ip and direct clients to the right page, according the the hostname they use to access your box [10:45] will https for different domains work on the same IP [10:45] autoclean usually remove less used software and those you probably dont nedd [10:45] darolu: i just did, here is the fstab once again: http://paste.ubuntu.com/373848/ [10:45] *need [10:45] shreymech, possibly after you upgraded, u did not add back your apt sources [10:45] jijutm: yes, and this is absolutely standard procedure [10:45] nibbler, will https for different domains work on the same IP [10:45] jijutm, the following command will default all outgoing connections through an ip $ip: $ ip route change default via $ip dev $interface [10:45] joebodo: now what can i do... i m finished.. :( [10:46] badserii, thanks will try now [10:46] badserii: i think this problem should be solved on a different level, like using virtual hosts in apache.... [10:46] Bushman: I'm in the same boat. Installed jave from 9.10 repo's, typed about:config in firefox. It shows it's there, but went to a test site and it says it's not showing up as installed. :( [10:46] where $ip is the ip you want to use, and $interface - the interface name, eg: eth0:1 [10:46] wojox: it's not even showing! [10:46] shreymech, reinstall the apt sources or just the apps - your configuration should not be lost [10:46] silis: ubuntu seems to need to mount devices within /media; try creating a directory there with "sudo mkdir /media/storage" and then change the mount point in your fstab file accordingly; if that doesn't work; I'm out of ideas [10:46] only this icedtea [10:46] sa tutaj polacy ?

[10:46] janusz_: tak, but speak english [10:47] Hi [10:47] jijutm: you can decide between different hosted sites by IP, port, and hostname, so using different ports would also be possible, and still way better than having multiple IPs in the same subnet [10:47] joebodo: can u tell me exact command please.. i m new [10:47] No, Let me go fin something in Launchpad that's another option. brb [10:47] lol, he quit [10:47] usernet: cdrecord, and all the other programs don't have access to your cd writter, the error says programs have no access; you can try running cdrecord or brasero/etc with sudo and see if that helps.

[10:47] I want to help Wakoopa tracker to track other browser also, so can anybody can tell me where Seamonkey browser saves all it's URL list or catch in Ubuntu? [10:48] some apps in education column... [10:48] like stellerium [10:48] and scilab [10:48] http://wakoopa.com/ [10:48] darolu: maybe set permission in etc/group [10:49] because this user doesnot group sudo [10:49] I think I have to google it :( [10:49] hello can any one tell me how to remove the old kernels....

[12:03] the problem is this: when i boot ubuntu, instead of a nice login screen, the video is all messed up. i found that there was the error "vga=xxx is depreciated" and read the pages to fix that. i thought that was why the video was flaky...it still does it :-( how to fix. [12:03] paddy_melon: a good portition of it, which is why I gave you the correct information in the first instance [12:03] I heard it is possible with x.x.36 and above or something [12:03] jpds: any ideas dude? [12:03] paddy_melon: doubtil as .36 doesn't exist [12:03] paddy_melon, this is general ubuntu support , of course you will find expert opinions here, but the best way is to go to the specific irc channel, and also, please do post in the forums [12:03] so, ikonia, will updating to a newer kernel fix it all? [12:03] paddy_melon: good luck anyway [12:03] I am getting frustrated with Ubuntu...

[12:16] but will that help on this problem of video going crazy? its be installed ok, just this problem happened today [12:17] maddux, yes i have read it there before about the vga [12:17] should I do that from an xterm? or restart or stop gdm?

[12:22] hdpb, oh need the old drivers, did you install from hardware drivers? [12:22] ok so here's my frist question about rsync http://pastebin.com/d2b9f9e7e [12:22] could anybody explain me those 4 lines about potential problems with symlinks in path? [12:22] hdpb, i think sudo apt-get install nvidia-legacy [12:22] obiwan_: try #rsync [12:23] ok ikonia thanks [12:23] the webpage is old and no reference to this problem. i followed the links deeper with no relation to the problem [12:23] on the web about this problem, its seems to not be machine specific [12:24] maddux, what about http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582&page=7 [12:24] indus...it didnt get me any farther === litorcino is now known as litATubu [12:24] Hello everyone. Is there any known issue about flapping network interfaces? [12:26] indus, that was not useful either [12:26] maddux, i suggest post a question on the forums [12:26] maddux, under hardware and laptops section [12:26] indus: how can i repair my x settings to use the intel card so my wife can use her computer until i have time to work on it [12:26] maddux, but do search for this before asking, iam sure there are many [12:26] I just uninstalled my wireless driver :(. How do i reinstall it? [12:26] indus, i did untar it - and i got png instead of it - its inside now - so how can i make it working then ? [12:26] indus, this was problem i think i solved that i thought was related http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1282368.html [12:27] hdpb, remember, to use the nvidia card, you can try disabling the onboard one [12:27] cmp, so the untarred folder has the png [12:27] maddux, it says solved, did you try that? [12:28] maddux, thats amd specific [12:28] nvm that [12:28] maddux, can you describe exactly how the display looks [12:28] indus, i tried all these instructions, and made the error go away. but the screen is still messed up on boot. [12:28] indus, ok [12:28] i did, and ubuntu won't boot it hangs and then reboots, only to repeat [12:29] maddux, messed up means wht i ask [12:29] yes indus, and then ? [12:29] hdpb, delete the xorg.conf file [12:29] hdpb, it this ubuntu 9.10? [12:29] cmp, then use the splash manager? [12:29] indus, at first barely visable and then when loading of ubuntu screen i guess is nearly finished, it makes the screen a bit orange [12:29] yes. how would i pull that off from command line? relatively new [12:29] ok indus. [12:30] would it rebuild itself? [12:30] hdpb, is it 9.10 ubuntu? [12:30] hdpb, well anyways it will auto create a backup so no issues [12:30] I uninstalled the drivers to my abg3945 wireless card and I cant figure out how to reinstall the drivers [12:31] hdpb, but otherwise do this , sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_bk [12:31] indus . so i should open the picture with the splash manager from the untarred folder ? [12:31] cmp, yes [12:31] cmp, in the button which says install , just point itto that png in folder [12:31] maddux, not sure what to do, post in forums and see. [12:32] indus...to better describe, there are white dashed lines in the middle of the screen as it loads, then about the middle 3rd of the screen becomes orange with white lines at the top [12:32] indus, i did ,,, and ? [12:32] cmp, now reboot what else [12:32] press activate it indus . ? [12:32] cmp, yes activate [12:32] maddux, ok wait 1 sec ' [12:32] maddux, where did you see the vga -- line? [12:33] Does someone know about wireless drivers? [12:33] hello community! im currently running a ubuntu server install, an was wondering how to install the xubuntu desktop. Also is there a way to see how much space it would need? is there any way to free some space like removing old kernels? [12:33] Hi [12:33] I need help [12:33] hdpb, hello? [12:33] indus, isnt there a way i can just change the video resolution for when it boots again, like to 800x600 ...which i guess that could help [12:33] maddux, sure i guess [12:34] gh0st, I think apt-get tells how much space it needs before it installs it [12:34] gh0st, before installing most things, apt-get will tell you the amount of space it will take up. [12:34] hello, I "accidentally" clicked on the dist upgrade button in update-manager (running 9.04, it wanted to upgrade to 9.10) so I killed update-manager, but now it only resumes the upgrade process when I run update-manager... how do I cancel this completely? I do not want to upgrade to 9.10, I'm waiting for 10.04 and doing a clean install [12:34] maddux, so you have normal display after its booted to desktp?

(That's not counting the non-deb stuff I installed by hand.) Now I'm going to do a clean install, which will provoke a reinstall of all packages. It's now time to launder the list; no point in downloading stuff I don't want or use. Suggestions? [13:24] i can't save [13:24] xiong: go through them ant pick what you want, it's that simple [13:24] zicho: you can also try to run rythmbox from a terminal to see the output [13:24] xiong: dpkg --get-selections > /tmp/file, then save the file somewhere [13:24] does anyone know of a way to get a browser to ignore Pragma: no-cache so that it does cache the content?

I installed Ubuntu 9.10 (previously used 8.04) and now I've noticed that I never seem to be recognized as the owner, no matter how I install it or how I log on. Some folders are restricted for modification. I never had this problem with 8.04. What am I doing wrong? [13:26] cgc, I've made the automatic list of all installed packages. Now, the project is to remove what's not wanted, so on reinstall, I don't download them unneedfully. [13:27] because i accidentally inject the the wrong list in my source list [13:27] olskolirc, do you want to make few number ping request ? [13:27] xiong: then just vim the file and delete any packages that u don't want from it [13:27] Anyone know how to get firefox to ignore Pragma: no-cache so that it caches content? [13:28] xiong: or alternatively grep through the file for packages you do want to keep and output to another file [13:28] ikonia, You're right, of course. But for many packages, I don't know the correspondence between the package name itself and the name as it appears in menus. For instance, gedit appears as 'Text Editor'. [13:28] My desktop isn't showing Apps ... after update ... also I can't add Apps to the desktop. [13:28] heyas. what's the definitive solution for audio working (flash mixed with other audio sources) in ubuntu? pulseaudio seems to suck, except I'm doing something wrong. in the past I had good experience with esd, but I really don't know if I should go against the mainstream and configure esd or try to understand pulseaudio === carlos is now known as Guest59197 [13:29] root51, you can remove it (apt-get remove update-manager) and install again (apt-get install update-manager), with root permissions. [13:29] what does that mean IP-v6 [13:29] Hmm. not had any issues with Pulse audio on my 4 ubuntu machines at all [13:29] ikonia, cgc, It's exceedingly clumsy to pull down the menu/submenu, pick out the name of an item, decide whether to keep it (perhaps launching it to refresh my memory), then go into Edit Menus to see what command launches it, then figure out which package actually supports that menu item. [13:29] Am I the only one having desktop problems after today's update. [13:29] root51, I hope this can help. [13:30] when you start pinging it continue until you stop it isn't [13:30] it ? [13:30] negative [13:31] ikonia, cgc, I'm thinking of opening Synaptic, filtering only installed packages, and scrolling through the descriptions. But there are dependency issues, too. I suppose that if I miss unused "supporting" packages, I can delete them later. [13:31] i can't remove my aprt [13:31] I can't add Apps to my desktop --- ??

[13:32] * xiong whacks himself with a wet fish [13:32] hello, i changed all the fonts in preferences/look but gnome widgets and the panel are still using the defaults, even after logging out & back in, what's up with that? [13:33] use sudo [13:33] root51, use "sudo su" in terminal [13:34] use 'sudo -s' in terminal to get a root shell. [13:34] but its best to use 'sudo command to run' as needed [13:34] only desktop icons and window titles are using the fonts I pocked [13:34] hi everyone..i've heard that i can log into my ubuntu from another pc at the same time as im logged in locally with different user accounts and i was wondering if anyone can point me to some good info on doing this..i eventually want to have another older pc running with no hdd and logging into this pc as though its logged in locally [13:34] Hello.

[13:42] zicho: or /var/log/syslog [13:43] ingles???? [13:43] Karhu, A stumbling block may be your desire to have the #2 PC have no hard drive. If you expect to login to the #1 from the #2, you will still have to boot the #2 in some way, into some OS. [13:43] what you get when you try rdesktop ip? [13:43] ijooo de purtaa [13:43] i finallly fix my update manager [13:43] vich [13:43] xiong: i was thinking some sort of live cd distro maybe DSL [13:43] cgc, it seems that pulseaudio is busy... for some reason this makes rhythmbox unable to start i think [13:43] hdpb: have you completed the install and the grub error happened at the reboot or at the end of install when grub was being installed? [13:44] I get: Autoselected keyboard map en-us [13:44] g0q, on reboot [13:44] zicho: use lsof and ps to find out what pulseaudio is busy doing [13:44] how to know whether ssh is running [13:44] Karhu, Hard drives are cheap; small ones even free for the taking. Get one and do a bare-bones install onto it; your life will be easier than if you attempt exotic solutions. [13:45] axe-faster [13:45] hdpb: well, you can try to boot a live CD and reinstall GRUB === flip_ is now known as Sorrel [13:45] cgc i cant find anything, how should i look?

[13:47] your friend internet ip [13:48] Karhu, Politely, I disagree. Ubuntu makes 'regular' work pretty easy; I talk it up to everyone I meet. These are people who do nothing except check email and write memos. Ubuntu makes tough stuff possible, even easier, but not trivial. [13:48] cgc i cant restart it either... it only says "PulseAudio configured for per-user sessions" [13:48] zicho: does 'ps auwx | grep pulseaudio' output anything? [13:48] Hi all, please anyone can help me upgrading transmission bt client from 1.75 to 1.83, i tried the deb from getdeb(dot)com, but it doesnt work :( [13:49] or 'ps auwx | grep -i pulseaudio' [13:49] cgc yes, it prints some pathways to pulseaudio stuff === Mowee is now known as Mowee`Bnc [13:49] zicho kill them and then restart them [13:50] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1391718&highlight=transmission [13:50] Karhu, In any case, you'll have to boot from something. If this is a 'project', I wouldn't permit myself anything so easy as a live Knoppix CD. Get it booting from a thumb drive; then crack the case and hardwire the thumb in to the USB. Extra points for disguising it as a roach trap. [13:50] administrator_, ip for what [13:50] xiong: ok i'll rephrase my comment lol...i enjoy doing more technical type things with my computer like running servers etc and find that linux is much more likely to allow me to do those types of things which is why i use it [13:50] cgc its not possible to kill them [13:50] Ip to connect remotely [13:50] zicho kill -9 [13:51] xiong lol i would love to do that but unfortunately the old pc wont boot from USB :-( [13:51] cgc still wont work [13:51] zicho: really?? I've never met a pid that won't die using 'kill -9 [pid]' [13:51] administrator_, system ip man [13:51] Enissay: look for a PPA repo of the latest version. Personally i perfer other torrent clients instead of transmission [13:52] zicho: as root obviously [13:52] Karhu, Now you've got me thinking. A USB boot ought to be a bit faster than a hard disk boot, even from a pretty fast platter. [13:52] administrator_, remotely? [13:52] xiong: if i DID boot from USB hardwiring the stick to the board would certainly be an interesting addition to the project [13:52] Ok, but I have confusion here that system ip are mostly manually, and by living is different countries, two people may have same system IP is it right? [13:52] a [13:52] cgc, how do you kill a pid? now it just says "no process found" [13:52] Yes I am talking about to connect remotely from Ubuntu to my friend's PC [13:53] Karhu: they got some usb flash drives that do plug into a usb conection on the MB. but not seen any of those in ages [13:53] or alternatively as root type 'pulseaudio --kill' [13:53] cgc nvm [13:53] Karhu, Don't forget the roach trap case. You want the round black fellow. [13:53] administrator_, well,depends on how is he conected to the internt [13:53] but it still wont shut off.. [13:53] how do i reinstall/correct GRUB from a live cd? [13:54] That means I will need to connect froM Internet IP adress [13:54] Dr_Willis: i cant imagine it would be a difficult job to just open the usb stick and solder it to the board [13:54] Hello, I seem to have some issues with my mysql server. When doing a mysql_connect in php, it says /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock does not exist.

[14:31] Good idea to upgrade my current install to 9.10? [14:31] Hi: I am replacing my Win2K server w/ Ubuntu. It is a simple file server for my business. The Ubuntu server is working and Samba is sharing folders but the shares are inconsistent. Some clients have access the folder "F" and some do not. Everyone is a member of the workgroup called "worker". I checked the user settings and each client appears to have the same configuration. Since I am an old Windows user, I have been editing user and group information with [14:31] the default GUI that installed w/ Ubuntu. I suspect some changes may be needed through a terminal. What settings do I edit to allow these, left-out, users in the "worker "workgroup read/write access folder "F"? [14:31] sebastian_: if it works on ubuntu then it should work on kubuntu.. however before you upgrade to the 4.4 (via PPA right now).. expect issues, many issues.. most who do it typically end up back at 4.3.x [14:31] wiehan: depends [14:31] wiehan: if you need the features [14:31] wiehan: Which version are you on? [14:32] Currently on 9.04 [14:32] In my sudoers, I have added the passwd_timeout parameter (http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/373960/), but it doesn't seem to change the behavior immediately. Is there a way to reload the configuration without rebooting? [14:32] scunizi: thx for help [14:32] And I want my java chess App to work again! It broke with updates. [14:33] Owner, sudo -k will make sudo forget you authenticated yourself [14:33] wiehan: 9.04 is actsually better than 9.10, but if you want to upgrade, well ok then, but the upgrade might go wrong. Also these features aren't needed, but 9.04 Ext3 installs won't be converted to Ext4 on upgrade, and no Grub 2 on upgrade either. [14:33] is there a way from the shell to find out what video card I'm running ??

I registered on ubuntu romania forum. I wrote a tutorial on os making on multiple sites, and when i posted it on ubuntu romania forum, there was a sentence "You can't see this link if not registered" because i copypasted it from the other sites. This has been my first post. After 5 negative comments, one of them being "How does an os making tutorial help ubuntu?", part of them being... [14:34] ...from moderator users.

[14:54] powergoal: humm... something is wrong with my system... the script im testing out requires 777 or it wont work... maybe there is a different way to do it perhaps ? [14:54] dev3: did you have a trailing / on your command? [14:54] powergoal, dev3: I'm 99% confident your command is correct. It _should_ work. Maybe trying a chown, for a change? === Chiliblue_ is now known as Chiliblue [14:55] alankila: Can't mess this up, servers are spread over europe ;-) [14:55] chyro: how would i do that? [14:55] so reasearch first [14:55] Also, dev3, how do you check that it didn't work? [14:55] powergoal: no i dident leme give u give u exact codes [14:55] dev3: chown -R username:username foldername [14:55] chyro: checking the codes [14:56] powergoal: sudo chmod -R 777 /opt/lampp/htdocs/test/ [14:56] Krewl: you can use the alternate cd to upgrade (that would cut the neccesary packages to download) [14:56] chyro: thanks leme try that real quick [14:56] dev3: what filesystem are the files you want to chmod in? [14:57] dev3: yeah, that should have done it. Couldn't tell you why it wouldn't. if it isn't live right now, make a duplicate in a new dir, run the cmmand, and move it back, clobbering the files? [14:57] dev3: Are you expecting new files created in the same folder to be 777, or files present at the time you typed the command? [14:57] krewl: you can get a list of the packages you basically will need by using dpkg --get-selections [14:57] so the idea would be, copy a CD image over first, mount that and add to sources.list then start that [14:57] chyro: files present [14:57] lauraIris28@hotmail.com [14:57] Hello, everyone. I installed Ubuntu 9.10 (previously used 8.04) and now I've noticed that I never seem to be recognized as the owner, no matter how I install it or how I log on. Some folders are restricted for modification. I never had this problem with 8.04. What am I doing wrong? [14:58] itś not that updating will take a long while, I have the time, just that I do not want a breakdown in mid upgarde stuck halfway [14:58] powergoal: leme try that [14:58] upgrade [14:58] dev3: would you pastebin the following: ls -la && sudo chmod -Rv 777 /path/to/dir/ [14:58] dev3: that is not going to be the most desirable though.. [14:58] morning [14:58] dev3: the copy method [14:58] powergoal: wouldent that just copy the files to different dir? [14:59] Help, i just plugged in my external harddrive and i am trying to backup i went to the terminal typed sudo nautilus and yet when i try to paste a copy of my home folder I get this error Files in the folder "sebastian" cannot be handled because you do not have permissions to see them. [14:59] Help, i just plugged in my external harddrive and i am trying to backup i went to the terminal typed sudo nautilus and yet when i try to paste a copy of my home folder I get this error Files in the folder "sebastian" cannot be handled because you do not have permissions to see them. [14:59] dev3: what we would rather do is solve the issue with chmod. else you may run into the same problem later [14:59] powergoal: gotcha leme run the command u said one sec [15:00] zebastian: I'm also currently having a permissions problem, but can't seem to get anyone's attention about it. [15:00] zebastian: do you have an encrypted home? [15:00] what does that mean powergoal? [15:00] or how do i chekc on that rather [15:00] zebastian, Inquiry, have you tried copying the folders by command line? How about as root? [15:01] zebastian: well, you probably don't have it on by accident, so instead try doing cmd line. [15:01] uniscript: Thanx so far, I try ing the procedure on a acceptation server first now [15:01] chyro: I get an error when I try to switch to root in the terminal window. It asks for my password and then says Authentication failed. [15:01] powergoal type cmd? [15:02] krewl : so you have a pile of servers around europe all on dialup? [15:02] how do i copy a folder onto a harddrive on the cmd line? [15:02] When you login, it asks for your password and it works, but when you use sudo, you type the same password and it fails? [15:02] zebastian: do you have sudo access? or is your root user enabled as login? (su) [15:02] Inquiry: try sudo su - and enter your won pasword on the commandline [15:02] zebastian: cp -r /path/to/folder /target [15:02] won = own [15:02] zebastain: ls /media [15:02] Krewl: sudo -i [15:02] powergoal: http://pastie.org/820054 [15:02] powegoal: i told you it should work because i typed sudo nautilus on the terminal thats why i dont get it [15:03] I take it your the install user so you have sudo rights [15:03] yes [15:03] i am the install user [15:03] and up till today i assumed i had sudo rights [15:04] zebastian: if you test out the cmd line program and it fails, it gives me more of an idea of what might be going wrong. so try this: sudo cp -R /path/to/copied/directory/ /path/to/destination/ (or cp -a if you want to preserve permisssions on all the files) [15:04] cdrom cdrom0 disk myusb for ls /media [15:04] chyro: I think I'm getting the syntax wrong. Can you please tell me exactly what to trype on one line? [15:04] Hi, i have a Thinkpad R61 and am running Jaunty. I have a few spl buttons on the keyboard for volume up/down/mute. It was working earlier, but all of a sudden dont work anymore even though the right key shortcuts are set in Pref->keyb shcts [15:04] dev3: you forgot the 777 there in chmod -R 777 [15:04] zebastian: cp -a src/ /media/myusb (which I guess is the usb drive or is it /media/disk) [15:04] dev3: but it appears that all those files are already 777 [15:04] getting 7 inches of snow in Dallas today. I put on Empire Strikes Back for the occation. Imperial walkers have been spotted [15:04] urthmover, ?? [15:05] Inquiry: The same line powergoal said, "sudo cp -R /path/to/folder /path/to/dest" [15:05] powergoal: humm... something wrong with the script perhaps... leme check on that... thanks sooo much for ur help mate [15:05] copy a location on the command line: cp -pr /path/to/source /path/to/mounted/usbdisk [15:05] :-) I'll keep on topic now [15:05] -p adds preserv ation of ownership etc [15:05] Krewl: that to me? [15:05] not needed per see [15:05] Can anyone help me on my previous IM [15:05] ah yes zebastian [15:05] chyro: Inquiry : unless youa re trying to preserve permissions. If you want to do that, you might have more luck with -a instead of -R [15:05] chyro: Can I take this advice to mean that I cannot be recognized as the owner while using the GUI, but only ever from the terminal? [15:06] powergoal: I'm not trying to preserve them at the moment. They are getting in my way. [15:06] Inquiry: :) OK [15:06] ok so if the folder i want to copy is /home [15:06] Inquiry: By using "sudo", you become practically all-powerful. I am not familiar enough with the level of permission of the GUI, but at the very least, not as absolute. [15:06] Hi: I am replacing my Win2K server w/ Ubuntu. It is a simple file server for my business. The Ubuntu server is working and Samba is sharing folders but the shares are inconsistent. Some clients have access the folder "F" and some do not. Everyone is a member of the workgroup called "worker". I checked the user settings and each client appears to have the same configuration. Since I am an old Windows user, I have been editing user and group information with [15:06] the default GUI that installed w/ Ubuntu. I suspect some changes may be needed through a terminal. What settings do I edit to allow these, left-out, users in the "worker "workgroup read/write access folder "F"? [15:07] what port does ubuntu remote desktop viewer use? [15:07] i type cp -pr /home and then /media/disk/Feb112010 ? [15:07] tim, all of your samba configuration is in /etc/samba/smb.conf [15:08] tim, perusing this file will show you why shares appear inconsistently [15:08] Krewl: cp: cannot create directory `/media/disk/Feb112010/home': Permission denied [15:08] [15:08] chyro: Thanks. I understand what sudo means, but not much else. What I really want to know is, am I always going to have to use the terminal window to work with administrative priveleges, or is there a way to fix thiings so that I still have them while using the GUI alone? [15:08] zebastian: no, command line options are case sensitive, so you wil need -R [15:08] zebastian: should work [15:08] zebastian: There is no "and then", it's the same command: cp -pr /home /media/disk/Feb112010 [15:08] buit I gues not [15:08] tim, also, you want to use the tesparm util to check your share definitions [15:08] zebastian: and you need write permissions on the destination. whichis why sudo is useful [15:08] ok that didnt work cp: cannot create directory `/media/disk/Feb112010/home': Permission denied [15:08] [15:08] so what do i try now [15:08] yeah one line.. (hard to type commands on IRC it seems there is still some lost in translation issues now and then [15:09] zebastian: Like powergoal said ^^ [15:09] Inquiry: use System>Admin ...> [15:09] zebastian: sudo cp -Rp /home /media/disk/Feb112010 [15:09] Hi, i have a Thinkpad R61 and am running Jaunty. I have a few spl buttons on the keyboard for volume up/down/mute. It was working earlier, but all of a sudden dont work anymore even though the right key shortcuts are set in Pref->keyb shcts. Plz let me know if theres a soln [15:09] tim sudo testparm /etc/samba/smb.conf [15:09] I will check it out. Is each client listed here? I see only the general config and no clients. [15:10] Inquiry: As I said, I don't know enough about the GUI. It increases your permissions for some things. But if you really want to be sure, I advise going root. [15:10] does anyone know how i can copy my working sound drivers on 9.10 so i can reinstall 9.04 with working sound? [15:10] # Samba config file created using SWAT [15:10] # from UNKNOWN ((Ë\) [15:10] # Date: 2010/02/10 16:56:43 [15:10] [global] [15:10] workgroup = WG-1 [15:10] server string = %h server (Samba, Ubuntu) [15:10] tim: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:10] i typed this sebastian@hardy:~$ sudo cp -pr /home /media/disk/Feb112010 and now nothing seems to be happening on the terminal [15:10] like it didnt give me any output at all [15:10] zebastian: that should have worked then :) [15:10] thats good [15:10] zebastian: check on your media/disk/ [15:10] hello genius [15:10] oh [15:11] zebastian: It's normal that it takes time [15:11] its copying!!!! [15:11] chyro: Okay, I guess I can live with that. But I'm not sure I can go root, even with the terminal. I've tried before and had trouble. How should the prompt appear in the terminal window when I've successfully gone to root? Does root appear in the prompt, because I've never seen it there. [15:11] if it's a big file [15:11] exactly === cp is now known as Guest96400 [15:11] why is there no output though? [15:11] i want a help..but its not related to ubuntu [15:11] zebastian: Remember, there is no progress bar [15:11] What output do you want ^^ [15:11] does anyone know how i can copy my working sound drivers on 9.10 so i can reinstall 9.04 with working sound? [15:11] Inquiry: instead of the last character being a $ it will be a # [15:11] should be username@hostname:path$ for a normal user [15:11] powergoal: Thanks. Never have seen that. [15:11] as root thats a # [15:12] you guys are to fast with the answers ;) [15:12] how will i know when its done copying then though [15:12] actually someone has uploaded my video on you tube...so is there any way to remove it....pls suggest me [15:12] zebastian: you will get a prompt again :) [15:12] look at your command line, once cp is done you will get your prompt back [15:12] Inquiry: If you type "sudo command" then command gets run as root. If you type "sudo su" then it opens a new shell owned by root. "root" is written in the prompt. [15:12] ok so from now on everytime i want to back up i shold so which ommand? [15:12] If I type "su root" at the terminal prompt, it asks for my password. When I enter it, it says "Authentication failure". [15:12] no you need to do sudo su - [15:13] Hi, i have a Thinkpad R61 and am running Jaunty. I have a few spl buttons on the keyboard for volume up/down/mute. It was working earlier, but all of a sudden dont work anymore even though the right key shortcuts are set in Pref->keyb shcts. Plz let me know if theres a soln [15:13] use sudo rights to run su - [15:13] then it asks for your password [15:13] if you su root it asks for rootś password [15:13] Inquiry: "su" does something else. it rquires the root password. sudo gives your nomral user root priveledges, but doesn't require the root password. [15:13] can anyone help me [15:13] Inquiry: that's because ubuntu doesn't set a root password by default. [15:13] Inquiry: If you type "su root", it asks for root password. If you type "sudo su", it asks for YOUR password. [15:13] Krewl, no, sudo -i [15:13] which you do not have as it is noit set on default ubuntuś [15:13] why sudo -i [15:13] I use sudo su - (Get the env. variables etc set as the user I sudo to [15:14] chyro: Okay, thanks. Does that mean that the root password and the user password should not be the same? What if they are? Is this not recommended? [15:14] so from now on i should do sudo cp -pr /home /media/disk/destination [15:14] to back up [15:14] Krewl, that is the way its done in ubuntu [15:14] They _should_ not be the same for security reasons. [15:14] zebastian: you might want to look into rsync so you only copy the CHANGES instead of the whole directory every time [15:14] bazhang: that's an interesting way to write "i don't know the answer" :-) [15:14] where can I get a ppa repository please? [15:14] sipior: well said [15:14] does anyone know how i can copy my working sound drivers on 9.10 so i can reinstall 9.04 with working sound? [15:15] sipior, did not feel like explaining as its in the factoid !sudo [15:15] bazhang: seems like itś the same looking at man sudo . but ok [15:15] blakkheim: why wouldnt i want to copy the whole directory everytime blackhome-? [15:15] zebastian: it takes more time, you might only want to copy the changes since the last full copy. it's up to you, was just an idea [15:15] zebastian: because of perfomance, traffic or something else [15:15] ok, second, what do i have to do in order to get a C++ compiler on ubuntu? [15:15] chyro: Here's the problem though. At no point did I ever create a user profile, nor a user password, when setting up my installation. This is why I have long been confused by the fact that I seem to lack certain permissions. I had been under the impression that I was the Admin when logging on from the beginning. But it appears that I am not. This is why I only have one password right... [15:15] paulmadej: It is unlikely that you can use the latest drivers with an old kernel. You should install the 9.04 and then look for the appropriate drivers. [15:15] ...now, which I would have assumed was the root password. [15:15] I am trying testparm [15:16] zebastian: sudo aptitude install build-essential [15:16] tusen takk [15:16] Inquiry: You probably provided at least a username and a password. They were used for your main user. That's how you login. [15:16] is here the best place to talk about ubuntu moblin remix? [15:16] chyro ive tried so much to get my sound to work on 9.04. couldnt ever get it. oh well.. ill go do 9.04 right now. and since i know about this chat thing ill prolly be back lookin for help :) [15:17] chyro: Correct. That's what happened. Is that not what I should have done if I wanted to be Admin when starting out? [15:17] paulmadej: What you can do on the other hand is lookup the name of the 9.10 drivers, it might be a hint when looking for the previous versions [15:17] chyro: how do i do that? [15:19] Im using knoppix 5.1 , what is the updated version of knoppix released ? the last one [15:19] howcome the net isn't working on the ubuntu computer when I move the network cable from the windows computer to the ubuntu one? The windows one doesn't have any manual settings at all [15:19] knoppix_: try Knoppix' own IRC channel? [15:19] knoppix_, ask in the knoppix channel or check the web [15:19] yeah thank you [15:19] sorry [15:19] Cwr: provide details please [15:19] Hi.I am not able to find a way to install new login window [15:20] Cwr your router may be setup to only allow specific MAC addresses to connect, it's a common security setup [15:20] <`mOOse`> knoppix_: --- uh, http://knoppix.com/ ? [15:20] knoppix_ try here --> http://www.knoppix.org/ [15:20] magnetron I'll try my best but I don't know what's relevant. there is no router though [15:20] thanks w00se [15:20] and itś 6.2 now it seems [15:20] CShadowRun thanks, there is no router though [15:20] chyro: My problem is that going to root in the terminal doesn't help me much, because there are a lot of tasks I need to do that I don't know how to do through the terminal, such as setting permissions, for example. This is why I'm trying to use the GUI with admin priveleges. There seems to be no way for me to do this. [15:20] what do I need to install to get my temp sensors working in ubuntu? [15:20] They work fine in bios === GhostEyes is now known as RainbowEyes [15:21] Cwr, open a terminal and type ifconfig do you see eth0 [15:21] I guess sort of a detail is that I removed the network connections "auto***" (something like that) because I thought the window/system would re-autodetect the wireless connection/card etc. it didn't and the "wired" tab is now empty [15:21] Cwr: some ISP only allow one MAC adress to use the same internet connection. maybe it's blocking the MAC that the network card has in Ubuntu [15:21] Inquiry: gnome should ask you to authenticate yourself when you do something that requires priveledges. I think? [15:21] !sensors | koltroll [15:21] koltroll: To access CPU temperature sensors and detect fan speeds, install the lm-sensors package. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto for installation and usage instructions. [15:21] Cwr, if you do see eth0 then sudo dhclient eth0 [15:22] heyü [15:22] someone knows [15:22] erUSUL, thanks alot! [15:22] how can i fix that error [15:22] http://paste.org/pastebin/view/15390 [15:22] magnetron could be. that ubuntu computer connects using vista and xp though. maybe that's irrelevant, I don't know [15:22] Cwr: try right click the network icon and edit the network connections. add a new one in the "wired" tab [15:22] Does Ubuntu support booting GPT partitions on standard i686 machines? [15:22] powergoal: Normally, yes. But for some things, like going to properties for a certain window, and trying to change the permissions using the tabs, in thoes cases, your user status is already assumed, and if you lack permissions, you won't be able to alter those features. No prompt for a password makes an appearance in those cases. [15:22] o hai thar magnetron [15:22] bazhang working on that but you should know, the network cable i am trying with the ubuntu computer is the same that I'm using on this computer right now, to chat [15:22] Inquiry: It is totally correct. There is nothing wrong. It is dangerous to have too much power, as then everything you do daily might affect the global stability of your computer. [15:22] Inquiry: That's why your user should run with low permission, and you should only get root permissions when you need them for a specific task. [15:22] paulmadej: Good question. I haven't touch alza in ages. You should research it. lspci and modprobe could also give you some information. [15:23] Hi.I am not able to find a way to install new login window [15:23] Inquiry: You _should_ not usually need to change permissions of files that are not owned by your user. [15:23] lfaraone: maybe with elilo or grub-efi [15:23] Myrtti: hello op [15:23] magnetron I've done that but the one I add then has no setting for mac address (perhaps there's other settings too that aren't, but need to, be set) [15:24] chyro: Understood, but if I don't know how to make changes from the terminal, then I'm stuck being locked out of everything. Is that it? [15:24] bazhang when i open a terminal and type ipconfig, it says "bash: ipconfig: command not found [15:24] magnetron: imagine that I'm not booting with EFI, I'm booting using a standard BIOS [15:24] Cwr: ifconfig [15:25] java wont work in ff 3.6, i loaded both chrome and opera and jave with them works fine, how to fix ? [15:25] with an f [15:25] Cwr, its iFconfig ifconfig not iPconfig [15:25] Cwr: thats because it isn't a command. consider ifconfig [15:25] ooh sorry [15:25] Inquiry: You should not be locked from anything user-related. You should be locked from potentially dangerous areas. It should not be _that_ much of a problem. Maybe there is something wrong that I'm not aware of. [15:25] maria_ventura_1998@hotmail.com [15:25] lfaraone: hmmm [15:25] Maria, dont paste that here [15:25] hello all....is there someone who knows about setting up dual monitors available to help me? [15:26] !ask | dewmsolo [15:26] dewmsolo: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [15:26] I think you got it! Thank you! The first 2 commands received "file is the same" answers. The final command in the testparm seemed to fix it. [15:26] dewmsolo: assume there is [15:26] !xrandr | dewmsolo [15:26] dewmsolo: XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X. Information/HowTo here: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 [15:26] magnetron: I've already backed up my entire disk via clonezilla, so it won't be the *endoftheworld* if it doensn't work. === GhostEyes is now known as RainbowEyes [15:26] lfaraone: ok. then i don't know [15:26] i will read ubottu's link first...maybe find my answer [15:27] magnetron: mk, thanks anyway :) [15:27] chyro: Just for example, I'm not allowed to add pictures to the backgrounds folder. How much of a security issue could that be? [15:27] i have a problem [15:27] i dont have the original install cd [15:27] and the build essential command is asking me to insert that [15:27] Inquiry: you should have a local background directory, local to your user [15:27] what do i do [15:27] bazhang eth0 was listed so I ran sudo dhclient eth0 . the response, among other things, was "wmaster0: unknown hardware address type 801" [15:27] powergoal: Maybe that's the problem. But I accessed it through user/shared/backgrounds. Is that the wrong path? [15:27] zebastian, remove the cd from the sources.list (ie comment it out with #) [15:27] Inquiry: What background folder? Is it in your home directory? [15:27] bazhang there were also 5 lines starting with DHCPDISCOVER and ending with "No DHCPOFFERS received" [15:28] zebastian: what build essential command are you using? are you trying to install it from the apt repositories [15:28] bazhang: how do i do that from gui? [15:28] zebastian, gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and place a # in front of the cd [15:28] chyro: Let me check and make sure. [15:28] (I get the feeling I lag ~_~) [15:28] zebastian, save that close the file, then sudo apt-get update [15:28] chyro: haha could be. :) [15:29] my usb device doesn't get detected if connected through two usb hubs. can anyone help? lsusb doesn't show anything even though it was detected before (through two hubs). [15:29] SIGTERMer: do these usb hubs have their own power adapters? [15:29] Inquiry: If you got to system/preference/appearance, there is an "Add" button that should allow you to add backgrounds without using the command line. Does that fail? [15:30] chyro: checking... [15:31] bazhang: which line should i place the # in front http://pastebin.com/m259188a3 [15:31] zebastian, the one with the cd [15:31] hey [15:31] magnetron: no, but the power drawn through the port shouldn't exceed 500mA. so lack if power isn't it... [15:31] bazhang: deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 8.04.3 _Hardy Heron_ - Release i386 (20090713.1)]/ hardy main restricted ? [15:31] ola [15:31] ola [15:31] i need the default python path to reset my modified $PATH [15:32] chyro: That worked. [15:32] k talo fea?? [15:32] SIGTERMer: if you draw 500mA through two unpowered hubs, i'm pretty sure you are exceeding the power budget [15:32] xDD [15:32] biien y tu? [15:32] zebastian, why do you have debian sources in there [15:32] !es | Patri Bea [15:32] Patri Bea: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [15:32] benee en el tuenti [15:32] chyro: It worked, but I am still concerned about not being allowed to access the destination folder directly. Should I be? [15:32] SIGTERMer: anyway, USB only allows for one consecutive level of unpowered hubs. [15:32] howdy [15:32] hellooo [15:33] bazhang: explain? by the way which one is the line, i dont see the line that says cd [15:33] hi!!! [15:33] ok well i do need to ask a few things...lol....First of all even the doc on xrandr says that i should have an xorg.conf file...which i don't for whatever reason. Why? and how do i create one or should i actually create one? [15:33] Inquiry: There is no reason to be. If you ever need to, you can use root ^_^ For everyday, you can entrust it to the system. [15:34] zebastian, line #1 is cd, lines 65 66 and 70 are debian sources [15:34] magnetron: really! thanks :) that's what i've been doing wrong then... [15:34] Sorry, I was wrong. Some of my workgroup members still cannot read/write to folder F [15:34] chyro: I guess I'm just not accustomed to the way linux secures the system. [15:34] SIGTERMer: good luck [15:34] bazhang, zebastian: Line 59 is for jaunty as well. [15:34] what is the default python path [15:35] Pici, nicely spotted [15:35] Pici: bazhang what do i do then? [15:35] dewmsolo: There is an effort now to make the xorg.conf file unneccessary. Xorg can guess (with reasonable accuracy) the components and appropriate configuration for your system. You can _insist_ on having one, but you may not need to. [15:35] do i erase them? === Guest7702 is now known as fahadsadah [15:35] you mean the fbreader sources? [15:35] do i erase them? [15:35] fif0: are you making a python script? put #!/bin/env python on the first line [15:36] I modified the $PATH but i want to reset the cange now [15:36] ok so then iĺl describe what iḿ experiencing. I have a laptop with a vga output which i connected my 22"monitor to. I get mirrored screens scaled down to a resolution that work on both my laptop screen and the monitor [15:36] Inquiry: I'm sure you'll get used to it. There are good reasons for it. If you have any problem, you know where to ask ^^ [15:37] i want to uncheck the mirrored screen ...but when i do everything goes blank [15:37] Pici: what do i do with those debian and jaunty lines? do i erase them? bazhang i put the # in front of the cd line, do i have to put one at the end as well? [15:38] zebastian, mixing version and different distro versions is a really bad idea. I'm surprised your system is still working [15:38] bazhang: i got that from your comment, so what can i do about it? erase those lines? [15:39] zebastian: gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [15:39] s/gedit/sudo vi [15:39] yes? [15:39] zebastian, comment out the debian jaunty and cd sources then save and sudo apt-get update ; I would highly recommend backing up everything and / or having a separate home partition as well [15:39] Question: if i use LVM and later reinstall, can i still use my old /home on a VG if i wipe out the root partition? how do new installs find my VGs? [15:39] chyro: Thanks. I appreciate your efforts. [15:39] when running sudo /etc/init.d/module-init-tools as described at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto I only get "Usage: /etc/init.d/module-init-tools COMMAND" but I don't know what the command should be [15:40] koltroll: start or stop [15:40] powergoal, gksudo gedit [15:40] blakkheim: i suppose sudo is good.. haha. i also prefer vim, but there are sometimes backlashes for mentioning such a thing [15:40] Inquiry: My pleasure ^^ [15:40] bazhang: i am in the process of backing everything up, should i wait until everything is backed up before i do waht you tell me and by comment out you mean adding # at the begining of those lines? [15:41] zebastian, yes comment out with a # in front of those lines, the backup whenever you can (ie asap) [15:41] hi guys, do you know why, while trying to bring up ipv6 tunnel i get the following -> ioctl: No buffer space available ? :< [15:41] zebastian, make sure to update your sources.list once the file is saved and closed (sudo apt-get update) [15:42] koltroll: By reading the guide, I'd say reload or restart. [15:42] bazhang: but do i wait till it's finished copying everythingbacking up before i sudo apt-get update ? [15:42] Hi, I had buy a new laptop 13.3" i removed Win7 and I installed ubuntu desktop 9.10, but I have a problem with brightness hotkey... the bios is phoenix. How can I resolve? [15:42] chyro, tried restart, stop & restart with no luck. So I'll just reboot instead :) [15:42] *stop & start [15:42] koltroll: That works ^^ [15:42] =) [15:42] zebastian, that is fine if you wish to wait [15:44] bazhang since i added the # at the begining of line one, after i sudo apt-get update i should be able to enter enter on the terminal where i was trying to download build-essential and it will finish downloading right? [15:44] zebastian, once the changes are made it wont ask to insert the cd if you have commented it out and saved the changed file (after updating) [15:45] ok....i can uncheck mirrored screens to get dual monitor, but it only works if i put my external monitor below my laptop screen in the display properties.... [15:45] bazhang: i remember reading somewhere that sudo only lasts so long, so its ok if i keep that file open the sources list file until the backup has been finished [15:45] or will i have to reenter my pw [15:46] so i have to go to that screen going down with my cursor.....but they are next to each other...so that makes it weird [15:46] ola [15:46] if i put my external to the right as they are for real everything goes blank [15:46] hello [15:46] zebastian, once the change is made, save and close it. you can then sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get install build-essential when you wish [15:47] ola?

Or you think a default install is smp-ready? Or wild guess? ;) [17:11] Yes, which is a different way of solving it [17:11] swordz: o work around this issue, users can create a file /etc/pm/config.d/madwifi containing the single line: [17:11] thb, the entire thread is only about problems on resume/suspend [17:11] SUSPEND_MODULES=ath_pci [17:11] This will cause the module to be unloaded before suspend and reloaded on resume. [17:11] And mine cuts out randomly at any point [17:12] archboxman, post #2 and post #3 are different solutions to the same problem [17:12] However, I don't think either really help, as it's not my problem [17:12] there's also no /etc/inittab in Ubuntu 8.04.

[17:16] magnetron, yeah, you're right, which is Linux also [17:16] swordz: I think at this point the driver is the issue and send & recieve are causing the same issues we had before with all three cards [17:17] furythor: do you mean setting multiple pages to the same port? [17:17] jp__: "linux" is just the kernel, the inner core. stuff like login is handled by other tools [17:18] jp__: also, you never mentioned which part of that guide you couldn't perform [17:18] Can the 64bit version run 32bit apps?

[17:20] but I don't figure why I got errors of overlapping virtual host setting [17:20] linusoleander: yes, provided you have the libraries that your applications are linked against. there are a large number of 32-bit compatibility libraries available. [17:20] / [17:21] furythor: it is possible, have a look at reverse proxy on apache [17:21] linusoleander-> look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/32bit_and_64bit [17:21] magnetron, I know it, and thanks for telling me so as well. I got stuck on the /etc/initab file, there's no such file on Ubuntu 8.04 [17:21] Ganang: I will do that [17:21] sipior: So all my application wont work in the 64bit version? [17:21] linusoleander: most of them should do. [17:22] furythor: this will basically, tell the computer to handle all incoming connections to port 80, but inside apache you will tell it to assign to different ports , depending on the address [17:22] linusoleander: easy enough to test [17:22] I just want to get my home server secure before I put it to use I have planned to... since there comes confidential data and other things I want it to be secure [17:23] furythor: i just google some stuff for you...it seems a nice source http://www.apachetutor.org/admin/reverseproxies [17:23] sipior: I'm dont have the time to test it on a server, sorry [17:23] I'll try 32 [17:23] linusoleander: it must not mean that much to you, then. [17:24] magnetron, I'm now looking at this howto, hope it works, it's debian http://blogs.koolwal.net/2009/03/15/howto-autologin-into-your-linux-system-without-xdm-gdm-kdm-etc/ [17:24] involves modifying /etc/rc.local [17:24] WHO HAS LAPTOP?

I'm going to install Ubuntu on a 100 gig partition. I'll do a separate /home. So, out of those 100 gigs, with 200MB going to /boot and 2 gigs going to swap, how big can /home be so everything else still has enough space without feeling crammed in? [17:32] toolman, it still requires that they have a specific samba account [17:32] Ganang: I did check that out and it was not quite what I was looking for [17:32] smbpasswd -a [17:32] Why do some work ok and others not connect?

[17:33] toolman, try this; http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/adding-a-user-to-a-samba-smb-share/ [17:34] if u want do it manually, SirLoseALot, just make partitions for /, /home/ and swap [17:34] Hello , how to make iso file from ubuntu CD ?

Does anyone know of a spider i can use to download all links on a webpage? [17:34] But I don't think that just to be possible [17:34] onaogh: Yeah, basically I was asking how much space everything *but* home needs. The size of home obviously depends on what I put there. [17:34] Thats how i always do it, using nautilus to make a share i dont think is the same thing as creating a true sambashare [17:34] furythor: if i understood you well, you have one valid ip address assigned by your ISP. And all incoming requests to you go to port 80, right? [17:34] i use konsole instead of gnome's default console app. the problem is that when i attempt to open a link from within irssi it uses konqueror, how do i change this? [17:35] I'm going to have /boot, /home and swap as seperate partitions, everything else goes to / [17:35] SirLoseALot, as you said, the size of Home depends on what you put there [17:35] bartmon: have you tried wget? [17:35] Ganang: I actually got a valid subdomain adress, now what I try to figure out is that could I setup multiple websites on single apache server to my adress [17:35] then you wanted somehow, that different request (using different addresses) www.myserver.com/site1 , www.myserver.com/site2 , would reach the correct ones ? [17:35] onaogh: Yep, that's why I was asking how much space everything else needs. You know, /dev, /media, /etc.... everything else :) [17:35] SirLoseALot, why a separate paritition for /boot ? [17:35] sipior: I know of it but i don't know whether it can handle links in html... Hmmm, I'll check the manpage though! [17:36] because I will have / as ext4 but want to use grub (instead of grub2), so /boot can't be ext4 [17:36] Hi #Ubuntu, can you guys recommend a 13.1-14.1" laptop that works well with Linux?

[17:36] bartmon: it certainly can :-) [17:36] I will give this a shot. [17:36] Ganang: Yeah something like that, but now when I start to more think of it, I think it just is not possible doe to factors not depending on me... [17:36] i use ext4, and i didnt set a separate partition for /boot, SirLoseALot [17:37] using grub legacy?? [17:37] rschnck: i have good expirience with several think- and ideapads with ubuntu [17:37] SirLoseALot, the default grub that comes with 9.10 [17:37] toolman, like i said thats how i have always done it. While nautilus should work, ive had several issues in the past doing it that way [17:37] furythor: well i am not getting the idea...if you want to set up the thing i described above, is just going for reverse proxies [17:37] onaogh: That's grub2, which can handle ext4 [17:37] hello [17:37] SirLoseALot, ok [17:37] Because I think that I would need to have dns record somewhere for those multiple addresses and those would redirect to different virtual hosts on my server, which I don't have atm [17:38] !acroread [17:38] i have an acer aspire one & the touchpad no longer works [17:38] sipior: thanks, already found what i need! :) [17:38] !laptop | rschnck [17:38] rschnck: Laptop support information can be found on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportMachinesLaptops - http://www.linux-laptop.net/ - http://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam - http://tuxmobil.org [17:38] !acrobat [17:38] pdf is the Portable Document Format created by Adobe; viewable in GNU/Linux with xpdf/kpdf/okular/evince, and also adobe reader (free download, but closed source) [17:38] what's the synaptic command-line equivalent to File > Add Downloaded Packages ? [17:38] it worked after installing ubuntu, but then it stopped shortly after [17:38] SirLoseALot, my / partition uses around 8 GB, the / includes all the dirs except /home which is a separate partition [17:38] rschnck: avoid thinkpad X60, really annoying fan-noise and apparently no chance to control it (i'm just fighting with it) :( [17:38] how do I install Adobe Acrobat Reader (yes I want that) on 9.10??? [17:38] panfist_, you mean like to download and install an application? [17:39] panfist_: dpkg -i file i guess for installing local debs [17:39] llutz, I have an X61t and it's too small as a main computer, so don't worry :P [17:39] furythor: but you just said that you ISP, provided you a subdomain, right? if you have a valid subdomain, then you already have a valid dns server where it is registered [17:39] alesan: sudo apt-get install acroread [17:39] SirLoseALot, i am using KVM and setup a virtual machine for winXP, i have another encrypted file i mount with truecrypt of 4 GB, so if you dont use all that, yours will be less [17:39] alesan: I think it's in the Partner repo [17:39] how can i scroll in chat history in centerim? [17:39] onaogh: I was thinking around 15gig for / and ~80gigs for /home - sounds like that should work comfortably [17:39] rschnck: is the x61 noisy too? [17:39] llutz, Not that I can tell [17:39] when i do that it says that the file exists in the repos and that i should use apt to add the package, the problem is i can't go out to the internet because the workstation i need to install it on has no internet access [17:39] hola [17:39] yep, 15 Gigs for / is fine, SirLoseALot [17:40] rschnck: hmm, thanks [17:40] alesan: and enable the canocial repo [17:40] SirLoseALot, my root partition is 16 GB [17:40] mattgyver i mean i have an offline workstation that i need to get packages for, so i get them from another workstation, put them on a flash drive, and physically bring them to the offline workstation [17:40] ok, everyvary talk in english [17:40] MightyTweek, I didn't ask for a massive list of supported laptops--I asked for qualitative opinions about what would be best for my needs, from users. [17:40] Alright, thanks onaogh [17:40] panfist_, yeah what iceroot is correct then === jon is now known as Guest96985 [17:40] panfist_: dpkg tells you that? [17:41] panfist_, yes, just copy them to /var/cache/apt/archive [17:41] panfist_: sudo dpkg -i packagename.deb [17:42] alguien puede ayudarme para saber como accesar a carpetas en my server con putty [17:42] !pt | broser [17:42] broser: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. [17:43] rschnck, what u asked earlier ? === calc is now known as Calc [17:43] onaogh, It's a tad long, scroll up. [17:43] rschnck: search for a notebook you like, then look if it is supported [17:44] sorry rschnck, just thought one of those links might be helpful [17:44] MightyTweek, It's okay--usually many of the guys that call upon the infamous ubottu are jerks. [17:44] hello [17:44] rschnck, i use Thinkpad X61, it is a bit noisy, but i am very comfortable with it [17:45] Ganang: yeah I do and what I am trying to get done is that I could have multiple websites which appear in different sub directories like (address.operator.com , address.operator.com/site2 address.com/site3) all served as apache virtual hosts from my home server and each in own directory [17:45] rschnck, really you shouldnt have a problem with any of them.. The only problem you might have is with graphics drivers... but even thats not that big a deal now a days. [17:45] onaogh, the x60 series is too small. [17:45] rschnck, depends on what is your purpose with linux. [17:46] onaogh, The laptop is for school--everyday computing and I really do not want to use a 12.1" screen for the next four years. [17:46] mattgyver, I'm a little bit worried about that with the T410s (the laptop I've been intending to get) as the T4xx series now has switchable discrete & integrated graphics. [17:46] CARMELO [17:46] rschnck, lets talk about it on #ubuntu-offtopic, would u ? [17:46] rschnck: maybe ##hardware is better for that. this is getting offtopic [17:47] usuario_, ?? [17:47] onaogh, iceroot, fair enough. [17:47] Hi [17:47] hi Zteam [17:48] Hello , how to make iso file from ubuntu CD [17:48] alabd: the cd is a iso [17:48] !download | alabd [17:48] alabd: Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download !Karmic, and help keeping the servers' load low! [17:48] is there any way to force apt-get/synaptic/aptitude to install a certain package during a kernel update? [17:48] iceroot: no CD is here how to make iso from it [17:49] how can i scroll in chat history in centerim? [17:49] Zteam: you mean, like every time the kernel is updated? Or just with one single update? [17:49] KrisKo: page up? [17:49] iceroot: doesnt work [17:49] alabd: use dd or k3b or brasero [17:51] MightyTweek: I mean everytime it update the kernel, because it forget to update my kernel headers, which screws up the nvidia-driver [17:51] which part of k3b humble didn;t found it [17:51] Zteam: install the kernel-header metapackage [17:52] What's a quick way to convert a system without a home partition to one with a home partition? [17:52] !home [17:52] Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [17:52] sharperguy, see the link above [17:52] bazhang, Thanks, awesome [17:53] not sure if I want to go to a site called "psychocats" though :P [17:53] hi all. simple question. i found some posts that reference menu item System > Admin > Services. Where did this go in Karmic? [17:53] i need to disable ACPID [17:54] not sure how to do it in the OS, but usually you can append "--noacpi" to your kernel boot parameters [17:54] MightyTweek: do you know exactly what that package is named, because i can't find it with synaptic :s [17:54] Zteam: what package are you looking for? [17:55] inveratulo: hmm you sure its not acpi=off ? [17:56] nemesisd, i was just doublechecking, apparently there are several ways to do it... simple noacpi or as you say, acpi=off [17:56] GentooJay: i was adviced to install kernel-header package but i can't find it [17:56] hrm I wonder what the status of bug 520288 is [17:57] Zteam: are you on 9.10? [17:57] Zteam: sudo aptitude install linux-headers-$(uname -r) [17:57] inveratulo: and this probably won't make my pc explode or anything right [17:57] would it be possible to install windows while on linux .. using wine ? [17:57] Emery: no way [17:57] Zteam: llutz's command should work for you [17:57] Emery: but you could use something like virtualbox [17:58] can someone help me with sound settings ? [17:58] NemesisD, it will not explode. What it will do is disable hibernating, and other stuff i can't think of off the top of my head [17:58] which part of k3b humble didn;t found it iceroot [17:58] Emery: VirtualBox or VMWare, Wine isn't an emulator [17:58] inveratulo: oh so it will definitely disable hibernation? [17:58] NemesisD, yes [17:58] I get sound from output and input, but not both at same time [17:58] when I record I have no output [17:59] hey there how does support here work? is there a help bot that i get in line with? [17:59] chiop I think its pretty much free-for-all, someone will probably know the answer to your question [17:59] chiop, blast your support question out there [17:59] * chiop loads the shotgun. [17:59] inveratulo: basically my toshiba laptop's bios has a dummy temp or something on the CPU that always reads 0 (sensors shows 2 other *accurate* temps). so the fan only kicks in when it hits the critical temp point [17:59] GentooJay, i didnt say that .. i said install it inside linux .. by opening the setup.exe with wine [18:00] just installed Kubuntu on a dell lappy and i have huge fonts and fucked up menus. [18:00] is the a channel for ubuntu audio (studio) users [18:00] NemesisD, you want the fan to stay on all the time? [18:00] !ohmy chiop [18:00] acpitz-virtual-0 is the bogus temp, coretemp-isa-0000 and coretemp-isa-0001 work [18:00] i've read around that it's a driver issue, but there's no issue directly with kubuntu and my hardware, and none of the fixes i found refer to files that i have. [18:01] inveratulo: certainly not, thats what it does. once it hits critical, fan stays at full power till i suspend or shutdown [18:01] one solution said to change a line in xorg.conf, but i don't have one. [18:01] erUSUL, thanks for the response, I'll give it a go next time the VM gets restarted. [18:01] i think the kernel is probing the wrong temp OR acpitz-virtual-0 is busted [18:01] another said to change a line in gdm.conf, but i don't have that either d-= [18:02] nemesisD, so the fan is on, just not cranked all the way up [18:02] * chiop fired off [18:02] inveratulo: no. from cold boot the fan is either completely off or cranked up and stays that way till suspend [18:02] NemesisD, so what are you trying to make it do? :) [18:02] hi, i'm trying to install ubuntu 9.10 onto my usb drive from win7, but i can't find the usb-creator.exe that https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick says comes with the iso file [18:02] inveratulo: if i reboot with the cpu heated a bit, bios detects the temp and turns the fan on then the fan gets locked at that level until it reaches crit again [18:03] chiop: check the xorg log file and take the xorg.conf from there... then change the line [18:03] inveratulo: behave like a normal fan: turn on when the cpu gets warm, turn off when its cool [18:03] hi, my sound doesn't work at all in ubuntu 9.10, it worked before [18:03] anything i can do to fix it [18:04] NemesisD, this seems to me as more of a function of the laptop in question rather than the OS. [18:04] iceroot: okey, so I tried sudo aptitude install linux-kernel-headers is that correct, because it just tells me that it wont, install, remove or upgrade anything [18:04] !sound > bluesand [18:04] bluesand, please see my private message [18:04] bluesand, did you try to setup it in system → preferences → sound [18:04] bluesand: maybe there's something you can try? [18:05] NemesisD, this *might* help, but I don't know for sure: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=42737 [18:05] reto`, i'll take a look at it [18:05] llutz: yes, i know, but i want the system to install that package automatically then a new kernel gets installed :) [18:05] ok then, here's another question: from CLI using kde, how can change font dip? [18:05] is there a channel for audio users [18:06] recording [18:06] nikos1: You could try asking in #ubuntustudio if that is what you are using. [18:06] ah thx [18:06] llutz: because the system *should* do it automatically, it had done with jaunty, but it is no longer working in karmic [18:07] why don't hardware manufacturers respect or care about linux users [18:07] no money in it [18:07] no profit. [18:07] NemesisD: why should they? [18:07] NemesisD: because we are a minority still [18:07] ok here's another question: what's the package name to install GNOME from the command line? [18:08] NemesisD: sure there are some mfcs that come to mind (Dell? IBM?) that respect linux, but on the whole, no. [18:08] llutz: because we're human beings who have to buy the GD hardware [18:08] chiop: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop [18:08] i installed karmic on hp550, which has Broadcom wireless adapter i see the module for it installed i did modprobe but it doesn't work [18:08] what should i do? [18:08] NemesisD: 99% are buying that crap, so why should they care about 1%? [18:08] hi I want to prepare a customized version of ubuntu, based on standard ubuntu (mainly configurationwize, the repositories, etc. shall remain intact). what shall I read ? [18:08] Zteam: yes... aptitude... one point for you [18:09] NemesisD: anyways, it's offtopic here [18:09] Zteam just plain old "ubuntu-desktop"? thanks. [18:09] i wouldn't have expected that [18:09] I want to get to a media user can boot and with zero (as none) configuration to have the setup I made. === Rainbow is now known as Guest25681 [18:09] olaaaaaaaaa [18:09] chiop - that's a meta-package that will install a whole heaping chunk of stuff, like 2gbs worth [18:09] exit [18:10] chiop: there other ways to, that will install gnome with all packages that belongs to ubuntu with it [18:10] hmm [18:10] reto`: thanks [18:10] chiop: ubuntu-desktop pulls in all ubuntu desktop packages which includes most of gnome === joseph is now known as Guest12770 [18:10] there may be a metapackage just for gnome if that is what you are after [18:10] Zteam didn't do it. . . said it only found "kubuntu-desktop" which is already installed (kubuntu) [18:10] hello [18:11] chiop: if you're considering that route you might want to just consider installing vanilla Ubuntu desktop at any rate [18:11] helloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo [18:11] chiop: probably missing sources [18:11] is fglrx only for ATI cards?

[18:22] kirandeo: using an external keyboard [18:23] medo7as: what do you think bullet proof x is/does? [18:23] kirandeo: virtual midi keyboard does not create any sound, you need to send the midi output to a synth, such as qsynth, using something like JACK or making the connections with alsa [18:23] jadakren: so in more simple way, what I am trying to get is not simply possible [18:23] Patch by patch... uh baby... wanna make to your keeeerrrrrneeeellll...

[18:23] chiop: nope, sorry i don't, but if you are using a scanner or printer try to google for CUPS change dpi or something [18:23] acicula:ok... that means i need to connect an external keyboard?? [18:23] chiop: or xsane change dpi [18:24] acicula i think it's like system restore in windows [18:24] furythor, subdomain.host and subdomain.host/path ? or did i misinterpret ? [18:24] kirandeo: you don't need an external keyboard, that kind of defeats the purpose of the virtual midi keyboard === Guest_65434 is now known as Mr_Cook [18:24] jadakren: Yeah, I try to get those two addresses I did list to work so that they would be handeled by different virtual hosts of my apache server [18:24] medo7as: its just a system that ensures that you always get some graphical console even if the drivers break, it doesnt do restore, its more like booting into safe mode, its enabled by default, you drop into it by booting the rescue option in grub [18:24] acicula: so whats the solution [18:25] !midi [18:25] Trouble playing MIDI files? Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MidiSoftwareSynthesisHowTo [18:25] furythor, no, those two urls would be handled by one virtualhost... the second one is merely a directory under the root of your virtualhost === bobo is now known as bobo123 [18:25] i'd look there,the program you tried to use to play midi sounds like it needs an physical keyboard? [18:25] why my compizconfig setting not working anymore [18:25] thanks alot acicula [18:26] jadakren: Yeah that is the impression I got, so that effectively makes what I try to be just impossible [18:26] Hi, i keep getting a "Capabilities mismatch" error on Ubuntu One (Ubuntu 9.10 32 bit) [18:26] seanbrystone: Ubuntu One support is in #ubuntu-one [18:26] furythor, im sorry, i think i have confused or misread what you want...would you mind explaining in clearer terms what you want to make apache2 do ?

[18:30] furythor, this is true, you want a sub directory to have the features of a virtual host i assume? i dont think this is possible. [18:30] furythor, or if it is, then it is beyond my abilities [18:31] guyz! help me! [18:31] jadakren: yeah because I think that virtual host setup works for subsite1.domain.com and subsite2.domain.com or with domain.com and anotherdomain.com [18:31] How do I modify the $PATH variable for the alt+f2 menu? Putting it in .bashrc didn't seem to do anything. [18:31] howlymowly: did you add the old 2.4 ppa? and did you check if it still provides the driver even? [18:31] ola [18:31] !ask | ajipubuntu [18:31] ajipubuntu: 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. :-) [18:31] hi all [18:32] does anybody have got any problems with the latest google chrome update in karmic? [18:32] jadakren: yeah I need to focus to set my web server to be secure by other means available [18:32] gh0stn0te: well it doesnt make me coffee, which is what i object to, but can you be more specific as the problem you are having? [18:32] my compizconfig is not working [18:32] acicula: yeah.. I added the ppa I also update the package database don't know, what you mean with "and did you check if it still provides the driver even" though... do they remove the backport drivers sometimes? [18:33] howlymowly: its not a backport archive [18:33] hmmm.... [18:33] flash & java crashes into chrome [18:33] i did everything they mention on this site: https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-retro acicula [18:33] how about anyone else having problems with firefox minefield and flash not working after upgrade? [18:33] what happened to /etc/inittab in ubuntu? i need to use mingetty.

[18:36] howlymowly: by the wiki that never worked, it lets you use the intrepid driver in hardy [18:36] gh0stn0te: I wish I could say yes to that, however, I don't run that software, thankfully [18:36] shishirdwivedi20: look in firefox add-ons [18:36] acicula: can't say I am sure about that for I do not know of any channel that would technically be right to ask that in...... If you know of one I would gladly go there and ask :) [18:37] i installed ubuntu 9.10 dual booted with ubuntu 7.10 and cannot arrow down to 7.0 on the grub screen why? [18:37] ok [18:37] kirandeo: like I said before, you need something to plug it into to hear output, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToQjackCtlConnections for an example [18:38] where can i find the usb-creator.exe for windows [18:38] ola [18:38] infoG: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ [18:38] acicula: yeah but I would rather like to use the hardy driver in karmic :) that's my actual goal.... [18:38] I think that might have it, look around [18:39] would it be possible to just isntall the relevant package from hardy? [18:39] syn-ack since my graphic card is not only unsupported (radeon 9600 pro) but is also too old to function properly, the 3d acceleration's gone some year ago.. i was annoyed by the slow performance of firefox/iceweasel, and i ve turned to chrome [18:39] ollllaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa [18:39] Spanglish_7776: ok, thanks. i'll look [18:39] howlymowly: i see, but its not packaged for karmic, at least not in that ppa [18:39] I can X forward all gui apps except for VirtualBox, I get "X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.

[18:54] hola [18:55] hey all: I've been thinking about switching from 9.10 32bit to 64bit; However I was hoping to get some advice on a few questions: 1. Is there a way to "move" all my settings from packages installed all the way down to the theme I use if I install the 64bit on a separate partition or something? 2. Are there any known issues that would deter me from installing 9.10 directly (specifically: GRUB2, EXT4)? Any advice will be appreciated!! [18:55] hello [18:57] acicula: No, it don't change. [18:57] I think that what I did want to do is easier to get with Open LDAP than trying to screw the virtual host setup HAHAHAHA:-D:-D:-D I am off [18:57] hello I set up the iptables rule: iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -d ACCEPT, and I was wondering, if a user uploads a very big file to my server will the iptables block them since big file packets are sometimes split and the port number might not be there? am I supposed to add a -f to that rule to prevent this? [18:57] hola [18:57] type: -j ACCEPT* [18:57] mleger: i realize this is a non-answer but for all the time spent trying to "save", "export" and then "import" "load" into a new installation, you may as well just save off your docs and handle all the reconfiguration yourself. [18:58] danky23: best to try a livecd of lucid alpha, see if it is fixed in the new version, if not file a bugreport on lauchpad with all the hardware info?

[18:58] I'm trying to run a script java application that works greate in OS X but is very slow in Ubuntu [18:59] The connection to the internet is the problem [18:59] linusoleander: what kind of network issue? [18:59] mleger: some 32bit legacy apps exist like flash(which is in beta on 64bit yes), the 64bit applies to binary executable formats only so just copying over your home directory should work, provided that different package revisions can cause problems [18:59] daftykins I'm trying to send some data to Spotify , and it takes about 3 hours to 10 days in Ubuntu, but 5 sec in Windows and OS X [19:00] image_q: what does the -f do again? [19:00] acicula: ok now I try. Can you give me the url for download Lucid ? [19:00] acicula: thanks! I am a bit of a newb when it comes to ubuntu filesystem but when installing packages does it all go to ~/home? what about the root folder? is there anything there that I should copy? [19:00] danky23: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/lucid/alpha-2/ [19:00] linusoleander: have you experimented with different java versions? [19:01] acicula: tnk [19:01] daftykins: I've the same version in OS X and Ubuntu, so that shuld not be the problem [19:01] danky23: just burning the livecd and booting it without installing should let you try it out [19:01] ALGUIEN DE GRANADA [19:01] hello, due to password oudated I have been forced to change my login password, then I su - and changed it back, I realizaed my home filesystem would not mount with new password so I changed my password back to the new one... then following the manual I did a ecrypfs-wrap-passphrase .ecrypts/wrapped_passphrase and used the old password to wrap the new one.. no my home filesystem will not get decrypted.. can anyone please direct me howto fix it? [19:01] acicula: ok [19:01] linusoleander: how did you install java? and which one? and of course it could be a problem :) [19:02] acicula: it stands for --fragment [19:02] image_q: fragment applies to fragmented packets themselves [19:02] not to fragmented files [19:02] I think it means that the same rule does not apply to the fragments of a packet [19:03] Hey all, quick question: I am trying to install Ubuntu 9.10 on an old server. I cannot boot a live cd, nor from USB. There currently is a minimal OS installed on a second drive on the machine. My idea is to copy a ubuntu image onto the primary hard drive. Any idea about if this will work or if there is a better method? === ubuntu is now known as tomy === tomy is now known as terminator6 [19:03] Alestan: [19:03] are you guys familiar with some crazy nautilus memory leak in 9.10? my roomies wait a few minutes and nautilus is using a gig or so of ram, and then in another few minutes they're computer is crashed. [19:03] Alestan: it should work as long as you can get a kernel booted [19:04] my lenovo's wireless is disabled (running 9.10)... how can i enable it? (option is greyed out on the network window) [19:04] Alestan: What is the reason for not being able to boot live cd? [19:04] seanamber: were it me, i might create a new test user and see if it happens for that test user too [19:04] ultraz: bad cd drive [19:04] ultraz: has it worked before? did you use the wireless killswitch? [19:04] acicula: ok I read it clearly, that rule can be so so fragments are ignored [19:04] bios is too old to boot from USB [19:04] err not ultrax [19:04] another question: if I install ubuntu on a separate partition (I already dual boot ubuntu & vista) will that new ubuntu entry just be added to my GRUB? or will it mess things up for me? [19:05] daftykins, good idea [19:05] arooni: has it worked before? did you use the wireless killswitch? [19:05] Alestan: ah ok, i was about to suggest alternate cd. [19:05] image_q: i think these days fragments can be ignored safely anyway [19:05] tried that first, then live cd, drive has problems [19:05] acicula, has worked before yes; have recently sent it into lenovo repair shop; now it doesnt work; have tried using function + wireless with no effect [19:05] I am thinking of installing the 64 bit on a small partition, and see if everything works first [19:05] image_q: they have very little to do with how a transmission is made from the source [19:05] is there a minimal cd? [19:05] !mini > Alestan [19:05] Alestan, please see my private message [19:05] ciao [19:05] Alestan: its called alternate cd.

[19:25] I just installed Usplash on a minimal Ubuntu 8.04 installation. It shows it but not for so long, then starts showing command line text until it boots the x server. Any ideas on how to make Ubuntu show usplash until the xserver starts? [19:25] I can't seem to find any good info on turning off USB support in Ubuntu. I'm interested in doing this to save battery. Anyone know anything about this? I figure that I should be able to unload a module or something. [19:25] daftykins: Its the same thing, using the java-6-sun version now [19:26] daftykins: The script works the first time, but not after that [19:26] hi people... how do I start ubuntu's remote desktop server using a shell? I think the app is called vino, but I don't see the vino executable [19:26] marsje: Could you be thinking of vinagre rather than vino? [19:26] not sure , Let me re-ask , I only have a hardy live cd and am trying to mount a ext4 partition , Is this possible ha hardy does not support ext4? [19:26] linusoleander: i wouldn't really trust what version of java is executing. i'd recommend either reinstalling the host or diagnosing how to clean _every_ java version then starting afresh [19:27] kgs: probably... :) [19:27] marsje: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-266981.html [19:27] cakeIsaLie: Hardy does not support ext4 [19:27] cakeIsaLie: it's probably not going to work. as far as i know older ones are supposed to be able to mount ext4 as ext2 or something - but there might be complications [19:27] marsje: vinagre is a client program. [19:27] daftykins: I just did a reinstall of the server, 2 hours ago [19:27] kgs: unloading the usb subsystem? [19:27] kgs: I'm looking for the server [19:27] acicula: I guess. [19:28] linusoleander: well i don't know what to suggest. the running java is your problem no doubt, that's as useful as i can be [19:28] marsje: Then, I am not so sure. I generally use ssh/sshd to connect to machines remotely. [19:28] trism: that looks like what I need [19:29] kgs: yes, I'm ssh'd into someone desktop remotely and I want to see the desktop [19:29] marsje: Ah, I see now. [19:29] Hi .

You can also specify certain parameters via grub2 so that X is not started at all (IE: no gdm). But it doesn't work very well, at least it hasn't for me. It breaks sound.

Although MUCH of your settings will work, they "might" also break on a 64bit OS - and certainly you don't want to be backup up any executables. Your best bet is to just backup your Home folder and reinstall ALL programs - check out !clone as you could install the same programs, but not the same binaries [19:59] hi all, is there a way to set audio and video options only once for all users? thanks a lot! [19:59] animeshmeher: yeah i had that issue too [19:59] I was wanting to try out Ubuntu (Or Linux, but I guess ubuntu seemed like a nice choice), but I don't really want to get rid of windows. Is there any way I can run both at the same time, for free? [20:00] !clone [20:00] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [20:00] acicula: is there a work around [20:00] acicula : i am from india Use reliance connection [20:01] animeshmeher: can you pastebin the output from lspci? [20:02] Zykotick9: I see... how about this: by installing 9.10 on a new partition (including ext4 and I guess GRUB2?) is there a way for me to preserve my current GRUB rather than override? Also: I heard some bad feedback on GRUB2 and ext4, is that sound? [20:02] acicula : it work in opensuse [20:02] @TCD: Ubuntu is a distribution of Linux. Also, check out Wubi; you can install it like it was a Windows program. === james is now known as Guest39366 === oebs is now known as bodolo [20:02] acicula: I dont know howto and probably not now [20:02] @TCD: Also, if you are new to linux, Ubuntu is a pretty good choice; it's very user friendly. [20:03] acicula : i had a bugged filed but that was marked as duplicate [20:03] animeshmeher: its a common problem http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1305931 , http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1330691 [20:03] mleger, don't think there is a way to preserve your current grub [make a backup of grub.lst (possibly wrong name) !], but you can install grub-legacy after installing if you wish. I personally have no complaints with either Grub2 or EXT4. [20:04] animeshmeher: did it say of what bug it was a duplicae? [20:04] mleger: running 9.10 grub2 ext4 on 64bit and having no problems at all [20:04] acicula : ya of a main bug report i can send u wait [20:04] Zykoltick9: Ok, I guess the only thing is to just dive in and see what happens :) [20:05] mkquist: Thanks for the info, like I said to Zykoltick I'll just dive in and try it.

[21:01] <`mOOse`> k thanks brontosaurusrex [21:01] SpaceGhostC2C: so i'm limited to the amount of ram i have as far as how large the programs i can install right? [21:02] HELP!!!!!!!!! [21:02] jeff__, generally you have what you need on the livecd, what do you need to do? [21:02] AlexSher, sorry man i don't have the same hardware - but it's the same issue you are having is it not? you should try adding yourself to that bug (will make Ubuntu better for everyone). [21:02] gemini, Haha what happen did ubuntu blow up [21:02] gemini, please ask a question, don't just say help. [21:02] SpaceGhostC2C: i'm install clamAV to scan a windows drive for viruses. is there a better way to do this? [21:03] jeff__: that is the way i do it as well [21:03] ubuntu hasnt blown up but makes me wonder if im due o.o [21:03] ZykoticK9: yes, this is exactly the same issue [21:03] :( [21:03] jeff__, that's a way you can do it. You can also use a ubuntu usb stick with clamav on it, and that way you don't need to reinstall it every boot. [21:03] jeff__, especially since you have to have a internet connection each time you boot. [21:03] question: i downloaded the synaptics version of PSx emulator (playstation 1) and 1 game off a emuparadise and i dunno how to use it :c [21:03] jeff__: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [21:03] gemini, that isn't a question we can answer here.

Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music, and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o [21:04] SpaceGhostC2C: i failed to see the question [21:04] WaltzingAlong, with gemini's question? He wanted to know how to use his pirated software with a emulator. [21:04] gemini, Cool I will try this PSz emulator too [21:05] capron, while the emulator may be legal, talk of piracy and other such illegal acts is not allowed here. [21:05] Hey!, I need some help [21:05] im no pirate... i do have ps1 games in hand (baught) and psx also is sposed to emulate the ps1 from CD [21:05] and THAT dont work T_T [21:05] Ubuntu won't let me set a higher resolution than 1024 x 780 [21:06] How do i remove unused shortcut from places menu panel? [21:06] SpaceGhostC2C: i understand that part, just the text was missing the ? :D [21:06] hello, i have ubuntu 9.19 installed and while dropbox and ubuntu one used to work perfectly at some point they stopped connecting (and aren't able to connect). does any1 have any idea? [21:06] tetsuo_: which graphics card are you using? [21:06] 9.10 :P [21:06] WaltzingAlong, ah ha. [21:06] SpaceGhostC2C: I think it's ok if he is asking how to use an ubuntu program, and is not asking how or where to pirate material [21:06] hi guys, I'm having this issue, http://xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php?t=47084 any ideas in how to resolve it? I'd appreciate it so much, thanks! [21:06] A pretty old one. It's a gforce 7200. I have a hd4670 but my power is not enough [21:06] hello [21:07] ChogyDan, not if he said he wants us to teach him how to use his pirated rom. We can't do that. [21:07] is there a way to force it? [21:07] <`mOOse`> the emulator's in synaptic...um....what's the issue here? [21:07] tetsuo_: ok. try this: go to System menu > Administration > Hardware Drivers. make sure the recommended driver is selected [21:07] `mOOse`, the part where he is using a pirated rom. Go get a legal one and come back. [21:07] testi, System / Admin / Hardware Drivers - do you see nvidia listed? is it activated? [21:07] k let me check magnetron [21:08] It has shortcut named "storage" but i dont need it anymore just whines about already mounted that and thats true i just wanna remove it coz there r now 2 storage shortcuts and only one is working [21:08] daftykins: My java app works prefect in Debian, strange… [21:08] is there a way to disable the behavior of aptitude to re-enable disabled services (disabled with update-rc.d remove) ? [21:09] No, they are not the recommended ones, I activated the recommended ones and they are downloading [21:09] <`mOOse`> SpaceGhostC2C, I didn't see the "I downloaded blah blah" part - sorry [21:09] jp__: please tell us your issue here in the channel - you will get a much greater audience [21:09] ok guntbert [21:09] hola [21:10] `mOOse`, no worries, just letting him know we can't talk about illegal acts and the such here. [21:10] <`mOOse`> nod [21:10] keex: that's defined in *.postinst of the package.deb, aptitude cannot change it [21:10] hello [21:10] why does x chat blink when anyone in the chat room types anything? can i just change it for only when some one mentions my nick? [21:10] usplash stops displaying at Setting preliminary keymap on Ubuntu 8.04, any ideas in how to make it last until the xserver starts? [21:10] How do I disable the "the disk is about to fail" message on startup? The disk is ok.. [21:10] Cant find any entry in the desktop session thing [21:11] how can i see which graphic driver im currently using???glxinfo????? [21:11] Noble , Might help too disabel smart in BIOS [21:11] <`mOOse`> jazz, ask in #xchat [21:11] jazz: right click on the channel tab - extra alerts ... [21:11] llutz, that's not so nice, but thanks for the head-up [21:11] Noble: usually, the SMART messages you are talking about, are warning a few weeks before the disk fails === Asad-away is now known as Asad [21:12] magnetron: Has been like that for about a year now.. [21:12] Noble: or hours. are you 100% sure that the disk won't fail soon? [21:12] anyone here experience random audio issues? Youtube audio stops working all of a sudden and then doesn't work unless I restart ubuntu [21:12] Noble: and you don't have any damaged sectors? [21:12] sudo alsa reload doesn't help .. [21:12] hey guys, come across a little problem, does anyone know the terminal command to read txt files inside the terminal? i do not remember [21:12] although amarok (esound?) continues wokring [21:12] thanks both of youse for room link and sugestion. [21:12] skullcandy: less [21:12] skullcandy: less, more, cat [21:12] skullcandy, sudo nano [21:13] nano, vi, emacs [21:13] Asad: try killing pulseaudio, that will restart alot of the sound subsystem [21:13] BluesKaj: thats not needed [21:13] magnetron: I have lots of damaged sectors on a ntfs filesystem on this drive. However its not an option to reinstall that partition because its my sisters school computer, and her admin is a tard. [21:13] @skullcandy: less is more! [21:13] NICK test_nick [21:13] cmar: use #test please [21:13] yeah, guntbert , just a knee jerk reaction :) [21:13] magnetron: so it would basically help to just disable whatever deamon is giving me this warning, if its not system critical to have it running. [21:14] Asad I experienced that the sound ca mute for no resone. [21:14] no capron .. it's not muted.. it's showing full in the mixer [21:14] im tryin to move a file that is 33 gigs but I keep getting an error saying that the file is to large to move?? [21:14] and it says it's using alsa [21:14] BluesKaj: but it is a *bad habit* to use sudo for everything - and we don't want others to assume it :) [21:15] pusher420: move to vfat? [21:15] Anyone know what deamon is giving me the errors of hdd failure? [21:15] guntbert,ok already [21:15] Noble: smartd [21:15] lol magnetron .. after killing pulseaudio and starting the service again, now firefox doesn't even appear in that gnome audio applet's "Applications" tab (the mixer?) [21:15] llutz: yes [21:16] llutz: Where does ubuntu keep its startup deamons listed? Arch uses rc.conf. [21:16] pusher420: vfat has 4GB filesize-limit [21:16] Noble: /etc/init.d /etc/event.d [21:17] Noble: you will probably get more damaged sectors soon, i recommend you backup any important documents (such as school work). [21:17] Noble: to disable the messages, you could perhaps uninstall smartmontools or smart-notifier (if they are installed) [21:17] Nobel you also what too run a full long smart check too see if it says okey [21:17] llutz: is there a format that doesnt have a filesize-limit? [21:18] Noble: I've heard that if you get even a few damaged sectors, the drive is toast [21:18] pusher420: ntfs/ext [21:18] Asad: i don't recommend that you start pulseaudio manually [21:18] pusher420: still limits, but much higher [21:18] Asad: basically, that won't work [21:19] SpaceGhostC2C, WaltzingAlong: thanks, i got it working. it's my friend's comp, so i dont' have a live stick ready, but it's scanning now :) [21:19] llutz: damn damn, ive spent the last four days downloading some wpa rainbow tables, guess ill have to start over [21:19] Its my sisters laptop, and they use terminal server for docs and stuff. Basicly I don't wanna nuke the windows install even though ubuntu has a terminal server client. As I said, the admin is a tard and would probably die of high blod pressure if he was unable to clicky click in windows. [21:19] Noble: in the disk utility, if you select More Information... for the disk, there is a check box to disable the warnings [21:20] trism: gonna check ty === bfox is now known as bfox_afk [21:20] pusher420, Did you not use torrent ?

[21:20] hi everyone [21:20] capron: yes i used torrent [21:21] trism: Ty that helped. If the disk dies she'll get a new on the warranty.

[21:34] crazygir: It should. [21:34] should?

[21:39] ikonia, so ultimately bootcamp is the boot loader to use for a tri boot, and not grub? === adam is now known as Guest97321 [21:39] Roasted: unless you want to dump efi [21:40] i have dual screens under mint, and when i have installed nvidia drivers, but when i come to enable my display i have an error come up saying the xorg.conf does not validate [21:40] Roasted: Technically speaking, EFI is the boot manager; Bootcamp is simply an app to assist in the installation of Windows. [21:40] crazygir, It is not that simpel too use a live CD and reconfig grub , But there are good tutorials for this [21:41] Pablillo, english please: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines?action=show&redirect=IrcGuidelines [21:41] A little offtopic, but does anyone know anything about harddrive recovery?

I accidentally rewrote the partition table... [21:43] can someone tell me how to set my hostname? its currently ubuntu.ubuntu-domain [21:43] #crazygir Why not just install ubuntu ?? [21:43] lacita, Then you shud make a image file of your disk en save it on a bigger disk [21:44] paulmadej: 'hostname --h' [21:44] paulmadej, change the content of /etc/hostname .. and to change without a reboot "hostname " [21:44] Wandergeselle: I think you've misunderstood the issue... [21:44] lacita, dd , dd_flac is good image tools [21:44] Ok.. [21:45] capron: I'm trying that right now. [21:45] lacita: I suggest checking out http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/docs/howto/other-formats/html_single/Partition-Rescue.html [21:46] it appears you may be able to respecify the partitions with gpart [21:46] kenneth|work: Thanks. [21:46] lacita: Good Luck. I hope you get your data back. [21:48] lacita, to make a image is the safe , But only there is a good tool for fixing partions tabel belive it is gpart [21:49] lacita: otherwise testdisk is a dedicated partiton table rescue application [21:50] can anyone help with this error please "Failed to parse existing X config file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'!"?

[22:26] Yeah [22:26] hooola [22:26] una chica ahora [22:26] lacita: If you know the exact block geometry, you'd be able to restore from that I guess, otherwise it might be a good guide when testdisk finds things, to figure out which ones are the correct suggestions [22:27] hello, I can ping any ip address in internet, but can't ping any hostname, who can help? in /etc/resolv.conf I have nameserver where it is verified working dns server [22:27] Spaceghost: I mean the Aptitude Cache. [22:28] arand: There were 4 partitions on the drive originally, 1) unallocated 3.91GB(boot?), 2) Linux-swap, 3) unallocated 6.14GB, and most interestingly 4) 9.17.82GB Unknown (TrueCrypt sector). I don't know the exact block geometry :( [22:28] Pe3k: do "nslookup", then "server $ipaddress_of_working_dns_server" then type in a hostname to lookup [22:28] <__lupo__> does anybody knows how to mount a googledocs drive in ubuntu ? [22:29] What is the path name? [22:29] arand: Considering the original 4 partitions, testdisk has found 5: 1 Linux-Swap, and 4 MS Data... I see that 2 of the MS Data's are boot.... [22:29] __lupo__, have you seen http://code.google.com/p/gdocsfs/ (i'm about to try it) [22:30] any one have a hp pavilllion dv600 [22:30] guest_: ask your real question [22:30] <__lupo__> ZykoticK9: this i havent... lets see it this one works.. : [22:30] <__lupo__> ZykoticK9: thanks [22:32] lacita: it will often find duplicates/overlaps in partitions, you'll have to choose the ones that correspond to the original state from it's suggestions... I'm not sure how truecrypt does things, hopefully it doesn't do anything special with the partiton table (I guess it shouldn't), in that case testdisk might not be able to recover it... [22:33] ikonia: thanks, I found out with nslookup that I did not have good address of dns server :) now it is already ok [22:33] __lupo__, i'm not sure what "/path/to/gdocsfs/home" would refer to?

[22:40] I'm running Crunchbang, based on Ubuntu 7.10 [22:40] blondincx: that's not supported here [22:41] so that's why I can't run apt-get, and synaptic can't reload de depositories? [22:41] blondincx: that's not supported here [22:42] blondincx, basically it's not something we support here. We can't really give you reliable advice as it isn't just not our flavour, we're not allowed. It's offtopic here. [22:42] ok, got it. Do you only support 8 release and further? [22:42] what is crunchbang? [22:43] cool name.. [22:43] :) [22:43] does anybody know the name of that program in ubuntu that allows you to edit /etc/fstab in a GUI instead of the gedit text mode? [22:43] blondincx: We support Ubuntu [22:43] blondincx: crunchbag is not support, it has it's own resources [22:43] Roasted: no, it's just a text file [22:43] Roasted, i didn't know there was one... [22:43] Roasted: 'vi' [22:43] ok! I thought the pb was the version! [22:44] ZykoticK9, yeah, there is... I forget the name... it has the letter P in it if I remember. [22:44] Celtic, no, vi is a text editor. This was an actual program with a GUI. [22:44] is there a reason why f-spot doesn't run when i am using the New Wave gtk theme [22:44] ..well i know theres a reason, what is it? [22:44] Celtic : Crunchbang is a distro based on Ubuntu, with a light gnome desktop [22:45] blondincx, i thought i was openbox [22:45] Runs well, but Ubuntu's much easier to use [22:45] blondincx, it's a distro of ubuntu. Some special flavour not supported here. [22:45] sorry, my mistake: it IS open box [22:45] Roasted: not sure.. the vi comment was sarchasm. I think webmin www.webmin.com will help with changing/managing filesystems.. but you really should do it manualy so you know what is going on. [22:45] Then my comment is wrong too. [22:45] arand: ~18/19% right now... It's taken about 40 minutes to aquire ~10%... This is going to trake hours. In other news, there are 2 more partitions(?) found... an unknown (Truecrypt?), and a Mac HFS... [22:45] bostrt, try starting it from command line to see if it shows any error messsages [22:45] Celtic: webmin is not supported at all, please don't recommnd it [22:45] Celtic, evidently we're not supposed to use webmin in ubuntu anymore, I don't know hwy. [22:45] Roasted: webmin won't work [22:46] Celtic, oh, Im doing it manually as we speak. :) I just wanted my memory to be refreshed to that program so I could test it out on my spare Ubuntu rig here and really test how it works. [22:46] Celtic, you shouldn't suggest WebMin - it isn't supported on debian/ubuntu anymore [22:46] lol [22:46] ikonia, it works, just no support. [22:46] SpaceGhostC2C: security risk and doesn't work with all the config files [22:46] SpaceGhostC2C: it doesn't work properly [22:46] Celtic, I always do this way manually... mounting my drives via UUID in fstab. [22:46] joebodo, gives me a gdkpixbuf-warning [22:46] ikonia, ooh, didn't know about the security flaws. Other than that, it imght be me not using all the features. [22:46] that's unfortunate. that webmin isn't supported. It's a great all around system management tool. If I'm not using the command line, it's the way to go. [22:46] I recently got an invite to use the Lanscape application for Ubuntu Server, is it worth having is my question [22:47] what is the equiv. of webmin? that IS supported? [22:47] jolaren: if you have an estate, yes [22:47] let me guess... nothing? [22:47] Celtic: ebox is closest [22:47] *sigh* [22:47] ikonia; estate? [22:48] jolaren: server estate [22:48] ikonia; ofcourse.. but I'm just wondering if its that good [22:48] later all. [22:48] if you have an estate, it's good, if you have a few machines it's poor due to the setup overhead [22:50] anyone around to help with some wireless network issues [22:50] There is that silly splunk programs. [22:53] conky system monitor appears under wallpaper draw by Compiz/Wallpaper tool - when switching to 3d cube, I can see conky - but the rest of the time it's hidden. Ideas? [22:53] thank you, good bye all [22:53] hey [22:53] hi jason_ [22:53] i'm kinda newbish to ubuntu and having an error [22:54] i can't seem to open a few programs [22:54] i tried from root and this error came up [22:54] Could not initialize GStreamer: Error re-scanning registry , child terminated by signal [22:54] !ask | jason_ [22:54] jason_: 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. :-) [22:54] jason_: on irc, it's best to just get right to the point, providing all the details (and on one line) [22:54] oh sorry [22:54] No worries friend. === daedhel is now known as lehdead [22:55] SpaceGhostC2C, "No worries, friend." [22:55] joebodo, did you need anything, or just quoting? [22:55] in general is it better to install stuff via apt-get? like i can install google chrome just by downloading it from my browser, is there a reason not to do that? [22:56] vinse: yes, it's better to use apt-get. You get automatic updates [22:56] vinse you have to add the repository for chrome to use apt-get, which is better, IMO [22:56] newb to xubuntu here and having issues with my wireless network.. i can connect to an unsecure connection with no problems but when i try to connect to my router and i enter the password it wont connect.. (yes its the right password cause my other laptop with MScrap on it connects using the same password) [22:56] SpaceGhostC2C: "add the repository" ? [22:56] actionParsnip! Hey! [22:56] yo yo yo [22:56] is there anyone who can help me with my error? :) [22:56] is there a way to run top with colour? [22:57] vinse, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8476058 [22:57] tp43: use htop [22:57] tp43, use htop [22:57] jrib you win [22:57] thanks [22:57] SpaceGhostC2C: yes, you are too slow! [22:57] jason_: sup? [22:57] jason_, try restating your question on one line this time. [22:57] vinse, Ubunut Tweak is a very easy program for adding 3rd party sources / apps [22:58] so, i tried to open amsn, rythymbox, and a few other programs, but i can't seem to be able to, i went to root, and when i did sudo amsn, it came out with this: Could not initialize GStreamer: Error re-scanning registry , child terminated by signal [22:58] cool [22:58] man ... gnome is awesome, I got cairo-dock, and screenlets. But one funny thing is, you can't remove the last gnone panel [22:58] tp43: don't run gnome-panel if you don't want it [22:58] i don't think its a good idea to run amsn as root [22:58] jason_: sudo is NOT for gui apps [22:58] or anything as root unless its designed for root [22:59] jrib, well, I removed the one panel, but the last one won't remove. When I right click, the option to remove panel is faded. [22:59] tp43: look at what I said :) [22:59] i don't run it from root normally [22:59] XRU1: Which release? and WEP or WPA? [23:00] Another thing, on the gnome panel, the power option has sleep and hibernate, but on cairo-dock it doesn't. Is there a way to use those gnome panel launchers and stuff in cairo-dock. I tried I couldn't [23:00] i tried to open it via gui, but at the bottom it says starting amsn, and the other programs i'm having errors with and then the box dissapears, and it doesn't open [23:00] jason_: what issue do you get when you run it normally? [23:00] jrib, I have it set to autohide [23:00] tp43: yes, but I am asking why run gnome-panel at all if you don't want it [23:00] tp43, if you dont want to use any of the gnome features, you may want to try a different WM [23:01] geirha, XUbuntu 9.10 and honestly i couldnt tell you.. wep or wpa i just kept tryin to enter the password over and over and it somehow connected then i updated and was forced to reboot and now i can't connect to my network. [23:01] jrib, well, thing is I can't remove it. [23:01] !wm [23:01] jason_: run it in a terminal without sudo, what are you utold? have you tried renaming ~/.amsn [23:01] joebodo, well, I want to use gnome, I just want to remove the panel, I still want to use the rest of the features, Thing is I am using cairo-dock [23:02] geirha, i also dont have any other options when it asks me to enter my password, just gives me a single option [23:02] tp43, I understand what you are doing. I did the same thing. [23:02] tp43, what do you need help with? [23:02] Im on hardy when ever i enable restricted nvida driver on reboot gnome is un responsive ( Won't react to anything ) [23:02] i get the same message when i try to run it through terminal, without root: ERROR: Could not load classifier cascade /usr/share/opencv/haarcascades/haarcascade_frontalface_alt2.xml [23:02] Could not initialize GStreamer: Error re-scanning registry , child terminated by signal [23:02] SpaceGhostC2C, I can't remove the last panel, the option to 'remove panel' when you right click isn't available, it is faded out [23:03] Is there a PPA for PHP5.3? [23:03] lolCake: maybe you need a skeletal xorg.conf [23:03] SpaceGhostC2C, I have everything on it removed, and have it shrunk to an inch at the side of the screen, so it is no big deal, I was just wondering [23:03] hi, is there a usb driver parameter or something to force the usb driver to work in low speed as USB 1.0 or 1.1 standard specifies ? [23:04] tp43, do you want to use it, or not at all? [23:04] tiemonster: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas [23:04] XRU1: In older releases you had to specify whether the wep password was in ascii or hex. I guess that's not the issue, then. [23:04] It feels more like home when actionParsnip is here :) [23:04] actionParsnip: any tips on how to do this? [23:04] SpaceGhostC2C, not at all [23:04] lolCake: sounds like your monitor isnt reporting refresh rates etc so the driver isnt loading [23:04] XRU1: Do you know if there are non-ascii chars in the password? [23:05] tp43 sudo apt-get remove gnome-panel [23:05] Tell me what it will remove. [23:05] geirha, only non alphabetical character used in the password is the apostrophe [23:05] SpaceGhostC2C, except, I was wondering, is there a way to make a launcher for some of those panel tray items, like the power button, cause it has sleep and hibernate [23:05] actionParsnip, what tells gnome-panel to start automatically? [23:05] actionParsnip: I see a Lucid test package. I assume I can't install that on Karmic? [23:06] jason_: http://www.insidesocal.com/click/2009/11/ubuntu-karmic-fail-pidgin-and.html [23:06] SpaceGhostC2C, lol, ok, I am gonna do that, but first, did you do that too, I mean, is there some features of the panel that are needed? [23:06] tp43, you can make a lancher by finding the relevant command line commands. I can help witht hat. [23:06] SpaceGhostC2C, sleep and hibernate [23:06] tiemonster: lucid packages are for lucid, the same ppa may have a karmic repo too [23:06] I can't change directories in Terminal. Any help on that? [23:06] tp43, I kept a few things on one panel and told it to hide on the top of the screen and only take up the room it needs. I kept the system stuff up there and the main menu. [23:06] SpaceGhostC2C: not sure, magic? [23:06] wterrey, cd ~ [23:06] XRU1: And only characters from the english alphabet? The apostrophe is ascii, so it's likely not a character encoding issue either then. [23:07] actionParsnip, automagic. [23:07] SpaceGhostC2C, apt-get remove of gnome-panel, looks like it will un-install some important stuff with it, like the ubunto-desktop [23:08] SpaceGhostC2C, do you think I should go ahead with it. Plus, will my screenlets still work [23:08] so is it a bug with that plugin? [23:08] geirha, it took me like an hour to get it finally to connect to it before then updated rebooted and now been well over an hour and it wont connect. Google was not my friend this time didnt help me at all lol === XRU1 is now known as XRunner [23:08] I am gonna restart, brb [23:08] tp43: the ubuntu-desktop package is only a metapackage so will only uninstall itself, not the packages it installs [23:08] I wanna let a user to access netword-admin without giving him 'root' powers.. what is the group I have to set the user so he can use network-admin? [23:08] tp43, try doing this [23:08] actionParsnip, thanks, I removed it [23:08] http://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu+unsecure <=== Lol @ their auto correction :) [23:08] jason_: sounds like it, did you try renaming the amsn config folder? [23:08] tp43, okay, why restart though? [23:09] I am gonna restart gnome, and see if everything is fine. After I try what you suggesting (SpaceGhostC2C) [23:09] not yet, i'm gonna try this website and see if it works [23:09] brb [23:09] ah! helpful hint: ubuntu-tweak != teak [23:09] tp43, try this in a terminal sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [23:09] tp43, no restart needed. [23:09] jason_: if you rename the config you will get stock settings [23:10] If I want to open my Downloads folder on my desktop what is the proper command [23:10] it's not just amsn, it's rythymbox as well, and a few other programs. transmission works, firefox works [23:10] Hello all, anybody knows the command "autoreconfig" ? [23:10] wterrey, linux is cAsE senstive are you using "cd ~/Downloads" with a capital D? [23:10] wterrey: why command? Just go to Places -> Home and then your downloads folder. Or: what do you actually want to do? [23:11] No [23:11] jrib, he obviously said in the command line though. [23:11] wterrey, can you cd to / [23:11] bingo [23:11] fixed! thanks a bunch! [23:11] wterrey, man cd might teach you a bit [23:11] !cookie | actionParsnip [23:11] actionParsnip: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [23:12] I,m trying to install an antivirus that's in my Downloads folder [23:12] wterrey: erm, why do you want an antivirus? [23:12] thanks SpaceGhostC2C :) [23:13] actionParsnip, I have cookies right now, so I wanted to share. [23:13] !botsnack [23:13] Yum! Err, I mean, APT! [23:13] what ever happened to the device manager style applet which shows you all the hardware in your computer? I think it used to be in system monitor.... where is it now? [23:13] I know this system is supposed to be safe but I have been a Windows user for 15 years now,need I say more? [23:13] wterrey, what AV program are you trying to use? [23:13] im having a bash scripting problem.. sed keeps stealing my ; in this command: find ./test/*/statistics -name logs -exec echo "{}.`date +%Y%m%d.%H%M`" | sed s/\//./g | sed s/^..//g \; [23:13] wterrey, would you like an explaination of why you won't need a Antivirus suite? [23:13] AVAST [23:14] kmitchner: i'd ask in #bash its more specific [23:14] geirha, any idea's? [23:14] wterrey: well first off, the antivirus that you run on linux are usually for finding windows viruses (for mail servers for example) and second, you aren't running windows, stop worrying about silly things [23:14] Yes SpaceGhost I would [23:14] !av | wterrey [23:14] wterrey: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [23:14] wterrey: there's no need for an anti-virus on Linux unless you feel the need to scan stuff for other people [23:14] Nope, lol, gnome-panel is needed. You can't start gnome without it [23:15] wterrey: Type this with out quotes " cd /home/$USER/Down* " , and either google "cd" , or linux file hirarchy [23:15] This is good news [23:15] my cairo-dock hides and doesn't reappear often time [23:15] is it possible a user connect/disconnect to the internet using netword-admin without been on admin group? [23:15] wterrey: windows makes all users admins which is really bad, ubuntu doesnt and this helps security greatly [23:16] tp43, you can turn that off, (assuming its the autohide feature thats causing it). [23:16] Can I get wine to recognize my ipod touch? [23:16] I guess it a good thing, cause it doesn't pop up when you don't need to. You just make a killall-all cairo-dock; cairo-dock -c button on the screenlets [23:16] hey all, anyone know why I "don't have permission" (in gksudo, or in normal user) to copy files on another partition on my hard drive? [23:16] knoppies, thing is I prefer to have it autohide then waste screen space when not in use [23:16] XRunner: I don't know how to further troubleshoot that issue. :/ Logging on to the router and changing the password and see if that helps could be worth a shot. [23:16] AviDog: is it mounted read only [23:17] AviDog, is the partition mounted with root permissions or is only read only? [23:17] Not sure. [23:17] How can I find out? [23:17] tp43, with autohide off you can still manually hide it, but your method sounds like it works for you. [23:17] How do I enable USB support in wine? [23:17] Johnny1, i "believe" (don't have one myself) that the current method of getting newer iPods to work under Linux is to cheat - and use VirtualBox (w USB support) [23:17] SpaceGhostC2C, you must have gnome-panel installed to run gnome [23:17] AviDog: run: mount it will say [23:17] XRunner: Otherwise, I'd try to find out whether its wep or wpa (from the router's web interface), and what model your wireless adapter is, and provide that information when you repeat the question. [23:18] Johnny1: i'd ask in #winehq [23:18] ZykoticK9, How do I "cheat" [23:18] tp43, install it real quick and run /etc/init.d/gdm restart [23:18] Johnny1: wine does not yet have usb support its been developed though [23:18] knoppies, yeah, I was thinking about setting it like that, like have it hide and unhide by click the right bottom corner [23:18] SpaceGhostC2C, I did already, that how I am back here [23:18] Johnny1, use VirtualBox with Windows installed inside it -- it's not really on linux at all... [23:18] Here is what I entered "cd/home/$USER/Down*" and here is what I received "bash: cd/home/wterrey/Down*: No such file or directory" [23:18] ZykoticK9: new versions of itunes + new wine get silver rating [23:18] SpaceGhostC2C, You're an amateur [23:18] hey, my wife's running ubuntu on her eeepc netbook and we can't get it to associate with our wireless network (it was working fine a week ago). Can someone help me troubleshoot? [23:18] tp43, how do you plan on doing that? I would like to give it a try (my method is to right click on it) [23:19] @shira what is the ouput of your iwconfig [23:19] geirha, i dont have access to the router only step-dad does, but its a Intel(R) wifilink 5100 AGN [23:19] actionParsnip, thanks - i hope he caught that message before leaving... oops [23:19] tp43, then I won't help you. Have fun with your problem. And I also don't use gnome. Haven't for two years. I'd watch your attitude. [23:19] wterrey: Run "ls" to list all files in that directory ( to find the file ) [23:19] Shirakawasuna, is your SSID being broadcast? [23:19] Shirakawasuna: run: sudo lshw -C network websearch for the product line [23:19] wterrey: You need a space between 'cd' and '/'. It's not like DOS. [23:19] geirha, my other laptop with winblows on it connects with no problems when i enter the password just this laptop with XUbuntu 9.10 [23:19] oh [23:20] wterrey: I'm not sure what issue you're working on, but that's why you got that specific error. :-) [23:20] Shirakawasuna: if you run: sudo iwlist scan do you see SSIDs [23:21] Anyone need some help? [23:21] quick tip press windows logo and n or m to invert colors.. [23:21] !attitude | tp43 [23:21] tp43: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that.

[23:22] archboxman, a helpful hint is we call it the super key [23:22] knoppies, you win that one :P [23:22] !netsplit [23:22] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit === PhilippeD_ is now known as PhilippeD [23:22] You people are good!!! Thanks [23:23] * SpaceGhostC2C rides the waves. [23:23] knoppies: and SpaceGhostC2C sorry was searching google to find invert colors sorry a Windows Term :( [23:23] archboxman, no, no sorry. Just letting you know man. [23:23] archboxman, thats ok. Its not like you did anything wrong. [23:24] i hate windows :) [23:24] yeah, since switching to ubuntu i've had less errors [23:24] archboxman, I dislike it, I try not waste energy on hating things. [23:24] * actionParsnip uses both [23:24] I set my screensaver to lock the screen upon activation, but it never prompts me for my password [23:24] !hate [23:24] hate is a thing we don't encourage - why waste your energy [23:24] XRunner: This could be related: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plasma-widget-network-manager/+bug/339313 [23:24] is there a keyboard sequence I need to use? [23:25] I try to learn all that I can. Not box myself in, but I do choose linux when I have a choice to make. [23:25] archboxman: We use what works best for use you don't have to hate ubuntu to use it , We are not a cult just yet [23:25] * knoppies noticed the word yet. oh boy. [23:25] is the update script with the new openoffice 3.2 supposed to do anything on karmic? .. it just says skipping deselected packages and does nothing :( [23:25] what ever happened to the device manager style applet which shows you all the hardware in your computer? I think it used to be in system monitor.... where is it now? [23:26] knoppies: I dont worry haven't loaded XP in 4 years hey :) [23:26] Ziggyzxxyl: i use: sudo lshw | less ;) [23:26] archboxman, I still got it to game on. === fahadsadah_ is now known as Guest8146 === homer is now known as Guest108 === jon is now known as Guest77634 [23:26] Ziggyzxxyl: you can install hardinfo for a GUI app [23:27] tp43, before the net split I wanted to ask you how you were planning on hiding/showing your cairo-dock. Im interested to give it a try. [23:27] XRunner: I've only read a little bit of it yet, but one person says it worked by typing in the password as hex-values instead of ascii [23:27] knoppies: good idea ,but I thought that is why Microsoft made xbox 360... even though it doesn't have some of PC tiles I play :( [23:27] well, here's iwconfig: http://pastebin.ca/1794051 [23:27] anything obviously wrong? [23:27] archboxman, the xbox is worse than windows XP (imo) lets not get too offtopic though. [23:28] hey, how can I not mount a partition read only? [23:28] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8808996#post8808996 <-- how to install openoffice 3.2 ... sweeet :) [23:28] AviDog, I would have a look in the man page of the mount command. [23:28] XRunner: printf "thepassword" | hd to find the hexadecimal numbers of each character, then type that in (without spaces) [23:28] knoppies, I am using a screenlet button to reload it when it disappears but I was looking for that way to make it hide and unhide by clicking the corner, but I can't seem to find it, brb [23:28] lol ok [23:28] why was the gui for hardware removed? [23:28] knoppies: any way to do it in nautilus GUI? [23:29] AviDog, im not sure. Should I google it for you? [23:29] that would be helpful :D [23:29] thanks. [23:30] !info lshw-gtk [23:30] knoppies, oh yeah, if you go to accessiblity, and pop up section, you click the box that says, pop up only if mouse hits a screen corner [23:31] Ziggyzxxyl: you mean the hardware-driver-installation-gui for non-free driver? [23:31] Ziggyzxxyl:  lshw-gtk is one such gui [23:32] knoppies, I have it set in compiz, so if I click the left screen edge, it zooms out all windows, clicking the right screen edge is like alt+tab, and clicking the bottom corners is screenlets activator [23:32] tp43, there seems to be a "popup on shotcut" option. [23:32] knoppies, yeah, but I wantet it with the mouse [23:32] man...linux is so sweet [23:33] tp43, ah, I see. [23:33] * knoppies agrees, but without sarcasm. [23:33] knoppies, I am not sarcastic, my life has been devoted to linux, I need someone to strap me to bed to get away from it === kenneth|work is now known as kennet|lunch [23:34] I think I am done though, compiz, cairo, gnome, what more could you ask for === kennet|lunch is now known as kenneth|lunch [23:34] Thats the state of the art in computer eye candy [23:34] tp43: a gesture controlled display? === XRU1 is now known as XRunnerBSP [23:34] tp43: gnomedo is something else, depends how much ram you have to burn [23:34] kenneth, yeah, true, that hardware side [23:34] geirha, that didnt work either :( but my only option is "WPA & WPA2 Personal" [23:35] actionParsnip, I have it, its boring, you have to type. It excellent, just not eye candy [23:35] tp43: how much ram are you using right now? [23:35] tp43, Im with you on that one. I have gnome-do installed, but often forget to use it. [23:35] tp43: What's your hardware like? [23:35] actionParsnip, a third [23:35] What is the best way to have auto backups from windows to linux? BackupPC? [23:35] tp43: yowser [23:35] just for home server use [23:35] XRunnerBSP: Ah, ok, it's wpa then. [23:35] kenneth, that reminds me. I have dual core, but my sys monitors on show one cpu [23:35] ZimCS: there is no best [23:36] solve it! [23:36] actionParsnip; recommended for the situation [23:36] I pretty sure it is dual core 1.8 and 1.5gig ram [23:36] tp43, I got a single core and it shows as a duel core (its multithreaded). [23:36] ZimCS: you can share the folder containing the data to backup and access it via samba, i think if you install openssh server on the system you can use rsync [23:36] knoppies, yeah, I heard back in the day, that multithreaded may come back, but it never did [23:37] tp43: so you are using half a gig of ram just for the desktop? is firefox running? [23:37] i know this might sound ridiculous but I cannot find my menu.lst file. It's not in the boot\grub\ directory [23:37] tp43: Yes it did. [23:37] tp43, how do you use so little ram, I got 1gig and it idles at 40-50% use, and if I open up FF it uses a good 70%. [23:37] actionParsnip, yep, firefox is always on. But sometimes, it does spiral out and max my cpu, even though it is idle [23:37] actionParsnip, Im doing the same, without firefox running. its more when I open up FF. [23:37] tp43: Core i7 and i5 are multicore + hyperthreading, so your system thinks you have twice as many cores as you actually do. [23:37] tp43: thats because it sucks at ram [23:38] Right now I am 35 / 25 % cpu/ram, and I have this and firefox [23:38] tp43: i'm running lxde with no compiz and chromium and using 210Mb ish [23:38] actionParsnip, but it was ram it was cpu maxing [23:39] I am trying to configure efax-gtk - how do I work out which ttys my modem is connected to? [23:39] arand: ~40% [23:39] kenneth|lunch, I heard that the highend i7 has true simultaneous hyperthreading? [23:39] actionParsnip, I very cheap, I have to maximize usage. Actually, it doesnt kill performance, like you would expect. Its firefox that is heavy [23:39] i know this might sound ridiculous but I cannot find my menu.lst file. It's not in the boot\grub\ directory can anyone help? [23:40] brb [23:40] tp43: get a better browser, kazenchase or swiftfox are cutdown versions and use less resources [23:40] tp43, do you find that cairo-dock uses more than its fair share of CPU as well? (I don't think it offloads rendering to my graphics card). [23:40] evon: are you using karmic? === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [23:42] I installed Karmic on my mothers machine (I'm on it now) and she says she gets a crash to a white screen from time to time and has to restart the computer.
