[00:00] totem sucks. also totem lets you tweak the audio output settings, its possible that you had tweaked them poorly/incorrectly [00:00] hello, need some help with ubu 9.04 ppc on imac G3 [00:00] it is very common (actually the only thing used) in math communities [00:00] Requested 'libdrm >= 2.4.16' but version of libdrm is 2.4.14 [00:00] I must be loosing my mind. I went upstairs to grab my ubuntu disc and do a line of coke and when I came back X was working fine. [00:00] http://paste.ubuntu.com/380029/ [00:00] there [00:00] sound quits working after i suspend my laptop i have to reboot to get it back. the sound preftences gui still shows sound playing and in what app. but no sound. intel chipset in the laptop [00:00] any ideas [00:00] Gryllida: you have to learn the latex syntax (it is not hard), write the file (yourfile.tex) and then use eg. "pdflatex yourfile.tex" to create a .pdf file [00:01] <_raven_> hello - EXTERNAL MONTIOR: i need to change the frequency from 60 to 50 hz - how/where in which file? tnx [00:01] Does limewire work on linux?

[00:01] halitech, http://paste.ubuntu.com/380029/ [00:01] Gryllida: to edit the file you can use any text editor you like, there are also graphical frontends for latex iirc (I don't use them) [00:01] how do i save the contents of the terminal [00:01] amartinenco, looks fine to me, dumb question but does that system have a net connection right now? [00:01] Hi, I need a program that will inspect my hard drive or possibly fix it even. i am getting a notification that one or more of my hard disks has bad sectors. [00:01] yes [00:02] @Flipz, there is a .deb package for limewire available [00:02] i want to copy down everything that ive typed on it over the last hour [00:02] whats a .deb package? [00:02] Gryllida: it is the best choice imo, but if you just need to get something done, I guess you might want to look for something else. But I can tell you that once you know latex a bit it is very nice and fast to use and produces the best results. [00:02] I'm running 9.10, it says I don't have the nvidia module anymore, how do I reinstall it? [00:02] amartinenco, are you using the update manager or the terminal? [00:02] hello can anyone help me [00:02] amartinenco: do you intentionally not want karmic backports?

I think I will be exporting to .odt in LyX. But is there any other word processor except for openoffice which could open .odt and save .doc files? [00:03] anyone? [00:04] amartinenco, where are you getting the error? in a black window or someplace else? [00:04] Hey, im thinking on putting ubuntu 9.10 on a windows 2000 machine since the owner doesnt have the newer versions, does the installation cd sets up the dual booting as well or do i need to do it manually? [00:04] ubuntu updater or when i run "apt-get update" [00:04] having serious sound issues here. no soundcards recognized by aplay and /dev/asound/cards. lspci can see the soundcard, i have the module installed, but still nothing. sound preferences says "dummy audio" [00:04] chrisboom, just your commands or the outputs too? [00:04] halitech, update manager or apt-get update [00:04] cruious4: the cd will give you the option of, and walk you through, setting up a dual boot [00:04] amartinenco, ok, run sudo apt-get update and post the output in pastebin [00:04] hi, how do I set up a connection with a manual ip address? I have a dhcp server but I would like to always have the same ip address eg. because I need to redirect traffic accordingly. I used the network manager and added a new wired connection but there is no option for dhcp with manual ip address. in any case I used the manual option and specified the ip address, netmask and gw, for the dns server I specified the same as the gw, but if I do [00:05] chrisboom, try find it here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [00:05] g0th, http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=ubuntu+static+ip ;) [00:05] I never installed mine with dual booting because I wanted it to be an ubuntu machine only, but this is for a fam member that doesnt know much about computers [00:05] hugh__: why recommend limewire. frostwire is far superior [00:05] chrisboom, your commands are saved in ~/.bash_history [00:05] I installed a GDM theme on my ubuntu 9.10 and it removed the one I had preinstalled, now the gui wont load, im stuck in the command line mode [00:06] @magn3ts, because he asked about limewire, do keep up [00:06] #Salvador [00:06] curious4: the installer will make it easy to set up the dual boot.

[00:23] i would assume that a windows, whilst open, especially a text based one, and one that was so important would have had a "save" function to save everything that had happened since it was opened [00:23] xjiro1: the password is to unlock the screensaver [00:23] xjiro1, did you select the option in the gnome-screensaver-preferences? [00:23] unbelievable, does not work [00:23] right, it does not ask for a password, it goes straight to the unlocked desktop [00:23] yes [00:23] restarted gnome-screensaver too [00:23] xjiro1: ahh well then yes it is supposed to ask for password [00:24] i can't get the desired behavior even once [00:24] xjiro1, :[ [00:24] xjiro1: report a bug [00:24] how do i report a bug [00:24] i was asking because it seems to be reported in many places, they're all just ignored [00:24] i figured there was some obvious reason [00:24] !bug | wgilthorpe [00:24] wgilthorpe: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs - Bugs in/wishes for the IRC bots (not Ubuntu) can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [00:24] Anyone Know how to setup a 3G network connection with a built in card qualcom conection Karmic [00:25] thanks ubottu [00:25] lol [00:25] !thanks [00:25] You're welcome!

[00:29] is that the correct command that i just typed? [00:30] ubuntu_, if you dont care about removing preferences, you could do "sudo apt-get remove --purge ubuntu-desktop" then "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" [00:30] its a miracle you found a way to change the login theme :rollseyes: [00:30] anyone know how to make qualcom 3G connection?

[00:34] Halitech, yea, here is the full info i posted on ubuntu forums http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8849057#post8849057 [00:34] hey guys, grub won't read my /etc/grub.d/ scripts [00:35] i know because i put some echoes in them and they don't show when i update-grub [00:35] however, grub finds all the kernels and makes a grub.cfg [00:35] chai_, can you change the output from dummy output? [00:35] but i want it to read the files [00:36] Halitech, dummy output is the only option in sound preferences [00:36] chai_, then no idea, I've never liked dealing with sound [00:36] hey! how i can check my DNS cache ? [00:37] Halitech, hah... well thanks anyways. sound is definitely a bitch in karmic [00:37] chai_, when it doesn't work it sure is [00:38] Beautiful [00:38] How do I kill any X that is running? Because I just tried startx and I get errno3: Server is already active for display 0 [00:38] If you're having sound troubles in Karmic, I'd take a stab at Linux Mint. I'm not sure what changes were made, but Pulseaudio's worked like a charm, whereas the sound used to cut out at times on my Karmic install. (on two separate machines) [00:39] It's alright [00:39] I found it. ALT+CTRL+F7 [00:39] anyone else here have a problem with their ubuntu freezing over night (every night) ?? [00:39] TheDodo, yea i've been thinking about a fresh install... just so much to back up [00:40] I checked /var/log/messages can't see anything in particular there causing it [00:40] chai_, no seperate /home ? [00:40] maybe I will just log out every night [00:40] I thought Linux was supposed to be more stable than windows [00:40] anom01y: It is. [00:40] I do regular backups myself, so I generally don't have too much to deal with if I need to make a copy of all my files. [00:40] but my computer has frozen on me so many times [00:40] Halitech, nope, all on one 80gb harddrive... [00:40] anom01y: You just have to learn how to use it properly. [00:40] anom01y, do you have your power settings right is it hybernating [00:40] chai_, check here http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [00:41] hi! [00:41] anom01y: That depends entirely on the task it's being used for. Sometimes it is, othertimes it's a crapshoot. [00:41] Halitech, thanks! will definitely try that on the next install [00:42] #kubuntu is deaD, DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO SET UP KPACKAGEKIT? [00:42] sorry caps [00:42] anom01y: Linux just takes getting used to. As everything else. [00:42] Halitech, plus can finally jump to ext4 [00:42] chai_, thats how to make one if you don't have a seperate home already and want to [00:42] I remember when I first dove into learning Linux it was a headache. [00:42] I use Ubuntu Jaunty, and i have problems with my iPod since a few days ago. I am wondering if the problem came from installing kubuntu-restricted-extras in gnome. Could it be the problem? [00:42] I'm actually going from Windows 7 on this laptop to straight Linux in a couple days. [00:43] Halitech, yea, but the whole harddrive is partitioned right now [00:43] chai_, gives you all the steps on resizing and making a new partition [00:43] sixofour9876, what do you mean 'set up'? [00:43] I actually think Win7 runs reasonably well, but the UI makes it a pain for day to day use, hence my switching my notebook to Linux. [00:43] How do you zipped files into split files on ubuntu? [00:43] its not finding any applications [00:43] so i am assuming it doesn't know where to look [00:44] AND APT-GET CAN'T UPDATE, IT FREEZES [00:44] definately there is nothing more frustrating than having a computer you can't rely on to stay on over night [00:44] sorry caps [00:44] sixofour9876, kpackagekit is quirky ... i recommend using apt-get from the command line or installing synaptic [00:44] on a laptop, i keep hitting caps button [00:44] ubyserver, ya i remember when i first started using linux many years ago when everything was shell and it was so tough getting use to so i gave up on it and just stasrted using it again awhile back people don't realize the progress of unix it has come a long ways [00:44] Win 7 is certainly an improvement over Vista.. uggg. [00:44] is there any way I can just turn off the power saving stuff. I do not have a laptop [00:44] TheDodo Oh it definitely does, especially on a not so fast laptop. But I am tired of Windows and want to customize the heck out of Ubuntu [00:44] apt-get can't update [00:44] it freezes on 30% [00:44] sixofour9876, sudo apt-get update? [00:45] tu.com oir something [00:45] sixofour9876, reboot or find the process in top and kill it [00:45] ugh, laptop erased my sentencde [00:45] [Gryllida looks at LyX] [00:45] But...

[00:45] why do i need to reboot? [00:45] sixofour9876, try [00:45] hiexpo: I remember first installing Knoppix HAAH. Actually Redhat oh man it was a pain. [00:45] crtl-alt-f1 [00:45] what am i doing?

[00:46] hello, i want to get my mom on ubuntu, but i would need to make ati remote wonder work on it, and nvidia tv out (pulled the ati video), sound do-able? software-wise i have it all ok [00:46] sixofour9876, try Xubuntu [00:46] Gryllida, you want to insert that into lyx the latex editor and compile it into a pdf? [00:46] True level of accomplishment. [00:46] ubyserver, yes it was a pain i remember [00:46] its better for performance [00:46] nah, i know kubuntu most [00:46] i used it for a few years [00:46] better by a mile [00:46] but i forgot alot of stuff [00:46] sixofour9876, i would install synaptic and use that instead [00:46] odla, my document should be anything that can be exported to odt , and should have images inside... [00:46] how? [00:46] I can't figure out why my computer keeps freezing every night [00:47] sometimes my flash videos dissapear in firefox, just poof gone. No flash applets work until i restart firefox when this happens, any clue what might cause this? [00:47] !who | sixofour9876 [00:47] sixofour9876: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [00:47] How do you zip files into split files on ubuntu? [00:47] I can't leave it alone for more than 8 hours [00:47] odla: how? [00:47] Gryllida, oh but lyx is for latex ... why not use openoffice.org? [00:47] anom01y, have you checked the ram? the power supply? [00:48] anom01y, it is probally freezing / getting stuck in hibernate and you don't know the key to take it out of hybernation is all lookk in your power manangement and disable it [00:48] odla, openoffice has uncomfortable math formula editor, lyx's one is much better... is it so good in any other app? [00:48] odla: Because it's a lumbering behemoth of an app suite that's barely better than what it tries to replace. [00:48] Gryllida, well into lyx you should be able to insert a graphic with \insertgraphics{} [00:49] i've not use lyx but i know it's for latex [00:49] lyx is latex [00:49] you should use latex directly [00:49] lyx is a WYSIWYG not like editing latex with emacs or something [00:49] wysiwym [00:50] * odla agrees w/ fabio123 [00:50] x86_64 wubi moves right along. [00:50] oh sorry [00:50] what is the command to search apt-get?

[00:51] anyone know of a stock market 'widget' for the screen ? [00:51] i know how to tweak google chrome [00:52] odla, the image will not be /INSIDE/ of the file... but just in the same directory. it's uncomfortable to keep track of the images in this case.. [00:52] rr [00:52] that's a thought. [00:52] Gryllida, well don't know then ... you can always send a pdf or dvi compiled from latex ... i don't really know lyx [00:52] hey guys regarding psybnc and vhosts is there a file on the linux machine that has to exist in order for you to take advantage of the vhosts you have? [00:53] Ive googled it and cant find it. I seem to remember there being a file that you have to edit in order for vhosts to work properly [00:54] hi guiys [00:55] its not /etc/hosts ?

[00:55] Gryllida, you could also use google documents as you can use latex to write math equations and can embed pictures .. but that's not a really good solution i would imagine either [00:55] odla, it's really uncomfortable to make a lyx or latex document with images, since the images are not inside, lie in the file's directory, and can't keep track of them. I am afraid lyx or latex couldn't be the starting point for a document which needs scanned images. that's why really not knowing LyX is of no problem... ;) does abiword or KWord or anything else you know have a comfortable... [00:55] ...math formula editor? [00:55] Can I download the forest theme here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Karmic/Forest ?

[00:58] fabio: Normally theme files are in a tar-gz [00:58] when i did apt-cache search for synapticd, it refered me to kpackagekit [00:58] x, as long as you have enough memory it works fine [00:58] Sinani201_: that is not a gtk theme [00:58] Sinani201_, "INCOMING All artwork submissions from the community are organised here.

[01:18] If you have problematic hardware, then you should try the alternate install CD. make your way through, and it will probably work [01:18] jbangert: was an intresting question [01:18] it's uncomfortable to make a lyx or latex document with images, since they are not inside, lie in the file's directory, and I can't keep track of them. [01:18] lyx or latex couldn't be the starting point for a document which needs scanned images. [01:18] saihtam: Extreme-scale anagram generation xD: based on MPI [01:18] does abiword or KWord or anything else you know have a comfortable math formula editor? [01:19] jbangert: no idea what that is, but I think you have to kill it and change the variable [01:19] Gryllida, there are several....for KDE [01:19] Gryllida: Tried LyX, it is a beginner-friendly LaTeX editor [01:20] saihtam: well the shell runs around a hundred jobs in sequence [01:20] jbangert: 24/7? [01:20] hi ubuntu irc. I'm switching from debian to ubuntu and having problems with the sound of torcs3d Racing on both my thinkpadT60p and my tower.

[01:23] they can not be inside of the file (unfortunately). they can only be in its directory (difficult to keep track of them). [01:23] that's why I can (and do) use LyX for some documents, [01:23] but as some need lots of scanned images inside, [01:23] I am searching for another word / document processor. [01:23] Maybe you know one? [01:23] Gryllida: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[01:26] Gryllida: you can convert scanned docs to EPS and embed them. Or, as I do, keep a folder _res for every .lyx which contains graphics, eps, macros, tex ,etc... [01:27] VSpike: yes [01:27] China use too much time to make tree's food [01:27] Gryllida: Then use SVN to keep track of all changes !

The format's the same, you'll just be wasting the rest of the space on the DVD. [01:28] Oh great, I was hoping it was that simple [01:28] xangua / onexused : thanks [01:28] I like odt since it keeps images inside. I would like a similar format. what app supports it and has a comfortable math editor? [01:28] I installed some programs "sudo apt-get install nmh" "apt-get install root-system-bin" "sudo apt-get install torque-client" what do they do?

[01:46] CkhiKuzad: well if you can boot with recovery mode or with a cd and chroot to the drive then update-grub will regenerate the images [01:47] What's the recommended way of installing additional 32-bit libraries in an amd64 multilib environment? [01:47] alright, so 'sudo chroot [drive] && sudo update-grub' ? [01:47] histo: yes, it is detected by the kernel and system, and players too, but when i try to copy music to it it fails.

Installed in empty partition of WinXP. Windows partitions are accessiable from "Places", but how can I set it to always mount as read only? [01:55] alright [01:55] I'm trying to start daemontools in Koala with "sudo initctl start svscanboot" but all I get is "initctl: Unknown job: svscanboot" even though I did create /etc/event.d/svscanboot .. Any gotchas here? [01:56] soy nuevo en ubuntu nunca crei que fuera tan bueno!!!! very very good === eric is now known as Guest44756 [01:56] !es | armando [01:56] armando: 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. [01:56] CkhiKuzad: hrm.. it didn't generate images? [01:56] gyokimae2, have you tried pysdm? [01:56] no it didn't. histo [01:56] umang, that is a new term to me. I will go search [01:56] CkhiKuzad: let me check something hold up [01:56] * CkhiKuzad holds up [01:56] gyokimae2: you should set that in /etc/fstab (edit as root). For example," /dev/sda3 /media/win jfs ro 0 1" would make /dev/sda3 mount to /media/win as read only. [01:57] gyokimae2, It's an application. You can install it from synaptic or do $ sudo apt-get install pysdm [01:57] CkhiKuzad: look in /media/sda1/boot and see if there are images there. [01:57] im in that directory [01:57] nothing === Guest44756 is now known as Matrix [01:57] just /grub/ [01:57] CkhiKuzad: sudo update-grub /dev/sda1 [01:57] hi people i need help concerning my webcam [01:58] same result, histo [01:58] onexused, fstab contained no line for Win partitions, so I think "places" is mounting on-the-fly [01:58] !help | Matrix [01:58] Matrix: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [01:58] CkhiKuzad: let me do some reading and figure out how to re-create the images [01:59] CkhiKuzad: then you should be able to boot [01:59] ubuntu-es [01:59] hopefully it will work [01:59] armando '/join #ubuntu-es [01:59] armando, /join #ubuntu-es [01:59] gyokimae2: That may be true. Are you willing to add a line, if you know the windows partition numbers? [01:59] my laptop acer with acer crystal eyes webcam ,i need a software that will it run or i have it already? [02:00] #ubuntu-es [02:00] onexused, I think I've done that before. For now, focussing on changing the behavior of "Places" [02:00] gyokimae2: Okay. [02:00] Is anyone running daemontools on Karmic Koala here? [02:00] Matrix, See if this helps: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam [02:01] onexused, If "Places" is actually an alias to a script stored elsewhere in the system so I can addon "read only", that would be best. Would you know? [02:01] what's the command to see which port are open in ubuntu [02:01] hmmm, something got fixed... [02:01] cyberjunk502, i think it might be netstat [02:01] ive checked already and they told me to check easycam but it doest exist anymore [02:02] but im not absolutely sure. [02:02] gyokimae2: I really have no idea where the config files (if there are any) for gnome/nautilus's automount function is. [02:02] cyberjunk502: netstat -ta [02:02] <[Adam|Linux]> I feel like there is a lag in my typing, is this common to Ubuntu or is it just my hardware? [02:02] any quake style terminal for gnome?

[02:03] CkhiKuzad: you're chrooted on to the drive? [02:04] Matrix, Does Ekiga work? [02:04] but i have more than 15 gigabytes of stuff, thats why i'm avoiding just doing a full reformat and install [02:04] [Adam|Linux]: It might have to do with the amount of RAM you have or the number of programs you're running. I only have lag in typing when I'm running from a livecd or I'm typing over ssh on a slow connection, or some such. [02:04] and yes i am [02:04] histo, yes i am chrooted to it [02:04] i dont have it [02:04] [Adam|Linux]: Otherwise, I wouldn't know.

[02:05] no im using legacy grub [02:05] CkhiKuzad: sudo apt-get reinstall linux-image-whatever you have installed on it.

[02:05] tell me if your internet speed is slow does port scanning a remote computer contain errors [02:05] CkhiKuzad: nah it will be something like linux-image-2.6.b;lkajsdf [02:05] got it [02:06] i mean does it affect port scan other than speed [02:06] CkhiKuzad: reinstall that and then sudo apt-get reinstall grub [02:06] * CkhiKuzad pastebins [02:06] Matrix, OK. So you're issue is that is lags? If so, ask again here and maybe someone who knows how to fix that will help you. [02:06] hiexpo: aptitude search sun |grep jdk doesn't show anything where is it?

[02:17] yeah windows [02:17] :P [02:17] ardchoille, do you have any idea how to change the default font-size for gtk launched apps? [02:17] magn3ts: the one build in firefox [02:17] magn3ts: I like wget, which is text-based. [02:17] magn3ts: built [02:18] ned-: no idea other than the theme prefs gui [02:18] ive tried gtk-chtheme, and it works but its not complete. [02:18] histo, what? I would hardly call that a download manager by any means [02:18] hmm alright thanks. [02:18] !best | magn3ts [02:18] magn3ts: 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. [02:18] onexused, I'm looking for something more native but like jdownloader that does megashare/rapidshare captchas and autodownloading [02:18] ned-: also I think most theme prefs need to have the gnome-settings-daemon running too inorder to take effect [02:19] histo, right but I'm looking for suggestions. thats a silly factoid to solicit recommendations. I don't know the name of every single download manager available for ubuntu [02:19] ned: lxappearance [02:19] magn3ts: why dont run those on wine? [02:19] technical question about wine [02:19] anyone with ubuntu ppc exp? [02:19] how do i get a malfunctioning windows program to close? [02:19] magn3ts: try gwget [02:19] question: how do i remove an entire package like xfce? [02:19] reinstall [02:19] CrOnOs__, well jdownloader runs in linux but its Qt [02:20] bigtom21485: open a terminal and run xkill # but be carefull with it [02:20] bigtom21485: You could try killing it. In the terminal, ps -A and find the number in front of the program, then kill . [02:20] ardchoille, well, when i have a low resolution set, launch an app, then change the resolution back to my standard higher res, i get the font-size i want. i just want to send that font-size setting to xchat & pidgin. [02:20] supremearyal, thanks ill take a look. === xangua is now known as sabrina_sabrok [02:20] ardchoille, I can use wget no problem, like I said I'm more interested in the captcha completing and taking in a huge list of links at once and bypassing the wait restriction [02:20] I think I'll just stick with jdownloader lol [02:21] ned-: xchat has its own font settings, have you tried that? [02:21] I tried installing a GDM theme on my ubuntu 9.10, needless to say I dont have a proper login anymore, where can I download another login gui? === sabrina_sabrok is now known as xangua [02:21] LinuxHelpNeeded: gnome-look.org [02:21] magn3ts: Ah, ok, no idea then [02:22] supremeryal what are they under? [02:22] ardchoille, i have, that just changes the font size for the chat buffer, not the user lists on the right [02:22] I think he means like kdm or xdm, not a theme for gdm. Or am I wrong? [02:22] LinuxHelpNeeded: the theme settings in thenew gdm are not feature complete yet [02:23] okay so I cant use GDM themes? [02:23] ardchoille, I ran apt-get install gwget, and recieved this: You must have at least one entry in a :: Is this normal? [02:23] which ones are supported? [02:23] supremearyal, that was exactly what i was looking for. [02:23] ned-: I don't know. I do know that running gnome-settings-daemon sets things up correctly, I did that when I used a window manager [02:23] thank you good sir. youve saved me quite a bit of headache. [02:23] greezmunkey: never seen that before. Which ubuntu version? [02:24] histo, it didnt work, and my system froze up [02:24] What package should I install to get libgl in Jaunty? [02:24] ardchoille, Linux UbuntuServ01 2.6.31-14-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 16 14:04:26 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux [02:25] histo? are you here? [02:25] umm... where are the login gui themes at? what are they under in gnome-look? [02:25] LinuxHelpNeeded yes its gnome-look, they are GDM themes [02:25] greezmunkey: are you running gnome? [02:25] ardchoille, the program runs... I'll try a download from a FTP server I know of... [02:25] im running ubuntu 9.10 [02:26] LinuxHelpNeeded: the gdm theme settings in the new gdm are not feature complete yet, you won't be able to use a full gdm theme [02:26] LinuxHelpNeeded, at the left under "GDM Themes" [02:26] ardchoille, I am. [02:26] ckhikuzad I used a GDM theme and now I cant get into the login via GUI but only through command line [02:26] greezmunkey: never seen that error before [02:27] well uninstall that GDM theme. LinuxHelpNeeded [02:27] how do I do that? [02:27] LHN: system>administration>login window [02:27] then the local tab [02:28] Is using a firewire external drive as easy as a USB external drive? [02:28] okay thanks [02:28] CkhiKuzad: yeha i'm here [02:29] my liveCd lagged extremely, and i had to reboot, histo. and nothing was fixed [02:29] ardchoille, yeah, it could be an install annoyance - I'll check it out further... [02:30] the problem might be because i installed this: "sudo apt-get install gdm-2.20" [02:30] greezmunkey: did you install from the server cd and then install gnome? [02:30] it replaced my old one [02:30] on ubuntu 9.10 [02:30] histo, i think i'm going to install ubuntu on a 50 gig partition, and just copy all the stuff over. i am so close to giving up/ [02:30] Is there a way to make Ubuntu boot, splash screens non-graphical, so that they show information about what's going on? [02:31] LinuxHelpNeeded: the gdm theme settings in the new gdm 2.0 are not feature complete yet, you won't be able to use a full gdm theme [02:31] how do i restore the old one? [02:31] ardchoille, no this is the desktop version, I just named it ubuntuserv01 ! [02:32] gryllida system preferences splash [02:32] ah, ok [02:32] CkhiKuzad: what happened when you tried it? [02:32] greezmunkey: but that error has got me puzzled [02:32] CkhiKuzad: does grub load? [02:33] histo, thats completely redundant. my boot directory is EMPTY [02:33] ardchoille, Me too, but the program seems to run. I do have an install of MySQL here though, could be because of that?? [02:33] CkhiKuzad: did you issue the reinstall of the image command? [02:33] yes [02:33] CkhiKuzad: then you also have to reinstall grub [02:33] and thats when it lagged me off. [02:33] CkhiKuzad: so it didn't finish the reinstall of the files? [02:33] no it didnt, [02:34] could you send the commands to do that again, it might have been how many files i had open [02:34] CkhiKuzad: huh yeah that should replace the images in /boot if you reinstall one of them. [02:35] greezmunkey: I don't think it's that [02:35] How can I get the deb for nvidia-glx-185? http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/nvidia-glx-185 There's no download link . . ? [02:35] Anyone watch zeitgeist addendum? [02:35] Oh poo, I found it, nevermind. :) [02:35] queso: which version of ubuntu? [02:35] ok [02:36] ardchoille: I'm in jaunty [02:36] queso: click on whichever architecture you are on at the bottom of that page [02:36] histo, could you send the commands to do that again, it might have been how many files i had open [02:36] hey, how do you set a video mode which isn't in the "display" menu? [02:36] this USED to be able to set 1024x768 for my primary monitor [02:37] It says it's for karmic, but I'm on jaunty. I couldn't get my video driver to work unless it was 185. So I downloaded that off the nvidia site. Now I need opengl support so I want to use version 185 or, I'm guessing, it's going to break my video card driver. So I guess I have to use a karmic deb in jaunty. [02:37] alternatively, how do you make the mode appear in the "display" dialogue (s/menu/dialogue/) [02:37] hey guys, can anyone help me with a theme problem? [02:37] CkhiKuzad: sudo mkdir /media/sda1 && sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 && sudo chroot /media/sda1 && sudo aptitude reinstall linux-image-2.6.28-17-generic linux-image-generic grub [02:37] ardchoille, now that you mention it, there does seem to be something wrong...I don't have time to check it out now though, thanks! [02:37] todd_ : we can try once we see the question :) [02:37] queso: don't mix version packages, that will only cause problems [02:38] ardchoille: What else can I do? [02:38] CkhiKuzad: you may not have to do the mkdir if you are using the same os right now as before. [02:38] queso: nvidia card? [02:38] Gryllida: thanks [02:38] ardchoille: Yes. The solution would be for Ubuntu to have a package for Jaunty, but there isn't one. [02:39] !info nvidia-glx-185 jaunty [02:39] ardchoille: I have version 185 working because I downloaded it and it compiled and installed for my kernel. [02:39] if i lag out, i lagged out. [02:39] hey why cant I enable desktop graphics? [02:39] Package nvidia-glx-185 does not exist in jaunty [02:39] Guest30277: what kind of graphic card do you have? [02:39] ATI Xpress [02:40] histo i'm worried about lagging out again from firefox [02:40] ardchoille: :( [02:40] Guest30277: system > administration > hardware drivers [02:40] so i'm going to PM you the result of the terminal, rather than using pastebin, ok? [02:40] Nope [02:40] Checked it didn't have anything [02:40] queso: which card do you have? 5 or 6 series? [02:40] is gtk 2 on karmic already, or does it need to be added? [02:40] !ati > Guest30277 [02:40] Guest30277, please see my private message [02:40] It says [02:40] CkhiKuzad: k [02:41] JoeSomebody: gtk-2.0 has been in Ubuntu for a while [02:41] ardchoille: I don't know, is there a command I can run to find out? (I do know that it didn't work with version 180 of the driver.) [02:41] ardchoille thanks [02:41] I qute "Desktop effects could not be enabled" [02:41] My computer overheats when running Ubuntu but not Windows... Why is this? [02:42] queso: I asked because I have nvidia geforce 6200 and it works but there's a bug in the driver that affects compiz, just curious about which card you had [02:42] I have a driver for it i checked with envyng I have the most recent apparently [02:42] It's a Dell Inspiron 1525 [02:42] queso: does the 185 driver work? [02:42] i installed a theme package that came with 6 tar.gz files, i exracted them. each file i am guessing contains a different component of the theme. so from there i went to system>preferences>appearance>themes>install. 1 of the 6 tar.gz files installed. the other files which contain emblems and what will not install. is there another route that i can take to add the themes to my system? am i doing something wrong? [02:43] dont extract them [02:43] ardchoille: Yes, the 185 driver does work (I got it from nvidia's website). This is the script I run to compile/install it: NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-185.18.14-pkg1.run [02:43] ardchoille: (And with this driver compiz works) [02:43] queso: ok, so what is the issue now? I must have missed something [02:43] Why is /var/log/mail.log listed in the output of both syslogd-listfiles and syslogd-listfiles --weekly? The syslogd-listfiles man page seems to be saying these lists are based on /etc/syslog.conf, but I only have one entry for mail.log in it. Probably the default config. [02:44] ardchoille: I need opengl support. So I figured nvidia-glx-185 was what I should install to get it. [02:44] hello! [02:44] hey [02:44] todd_: when you use the theme manager to install themes, they are usually placed in ~/.themes (for themes) or ~/.icons (for icons) [02:44] ardchoille: I'm trying to get photoshop to run in wine and someone in #winehq said it wasn't a wine problem but a distro problem. [02:45] ardchoille: oh i see, so what do i need to do differently? [02:45] queso: Ah, ok. I can't help much with wine, never used it but wine might be the problem, I don't know [02:45] alright i see a lot of people who are asking questions here but ive got a wireless question [02:46] todd_: try unpacking the theme components and placing them in the proper folder: ~/.themes or ~/.icons [02:46] todd_: which theme was it? if you can get me a link to download it I can look at it and tell you more [02:46] * srnth is away: AFK [02:46] that would be awsome! [02:47] hello? [02:47] can u hear me [02:47] !away > srnth [02:47] srnth, please see my private message [02:47] anyone here good with wireless problems? === funkyHat is now known as drunkyHat [02:47] just ask [02:47] lpirkel, whats ur problem [02:47] ardchoille: No, the wine folk said it was an issue with my distro. Ubuntu hasn't yet installed support for opengl. That's why I want to install that karmic deb, because it matches the version of my video driver. [02:47] ardchoille: http://www.4shared.com/file/141492476/7c00c2df/Windows7tar.html [02:48] lol sorry, so im sorta new to ubuntu and my broadcom 802.11b/g wireless card doesnt work with ubuntu [02:48] does anyone have any idea on how to set *any* video mode on an X11 server on-the-fly? [02:48] xvidtune doesn't seem to have the options i need [02:48] i tried the whole b43 cutter thing but im suckin at making it work [02:48] todd_: hold on.. waiting for the download link [02:49] I need hope... and help, I can't seem to use high-end social sites (yeah, I use those 'cause I have a life, sorta). the problem is that on facebook and others I can't seem to get anything beyond viewing pages, anything else produces a blank page. I use 9.10 and the latest firefox [02:49] lpirkel, have you tried the broadcom STA driver? [02:49] todd_: 17mb? sounds like it has an icon theme too [02:49] yeah it does [02:49] it is a windows 7 pack [02:49] queso: But installing a karmic .deb on jaunty will likely cause more problems, if it installs at all [02:50] okay when I right click on the desktop im not getting any bar popping up! [02:50] i have not...see i tried doing the sudo apt-get install b43 cutter command but it says it cant find it and i also tried the same with build essential, same problem [02:50] todd_: I'll unpack it and see what I can find, will be back with you shortly [02:50] someone who can help me just send a private message [02:50] I need hope... and help, I can't seem to use high-end social sites (yeah, I use those 'cause I have a life, sorta). the problem is that on facebook and others I can't seem to get anything beyond viewing pages, anything else produces a blank page. I use 9.10 and the latest firefox [02:50] ardchoille: thank you! [02:51] todd_: which version of ubuntu are you running? [02:51] 9.10 [02:51] ardchoille: So what should I do? :( [02:51] srnth: do you see what im saying? [02:51] does anyone know the package for the STA driver? I forgot =P [02:51] queso: I don't know. [02:52] This is what I get for buildiing my computers from parts that I already know work with Ubuntu [02:52] okay when I right click on the desktop im not getting any bar popping up! [02:52] ardchoille: Well, what package should I install to get opengl support? Is nvidia-glx even the right package? [02:52] todd_: ok, you'll need to unpack the initial package, go into the resulting folder and drag each of the packages there into the theme manager. Try that [02:52] lpirkel: can you pastebin the error you get when you try to install? "it cant find it" is not very specific xD [02:53] ardchoille: I think I should already have opengl support. :/ [02:53] unpack? [02:53] srnth: umm it says building dependancy tree...then i think it says could not locate package information or something on E:/ im on XP right now unfortunately [02:53] ardchoille: Is it because I used the script off their site to install the driver? Could it be that it installed in a non-standard place the support for opengl (from the perspective of ubuntu)? [02:53] queso: I think you should too, that's why I still say it's a wine problem [02:53] ... any longer and I might just start spamming [02:54] lpirkel, can I PM you? [02:54] queso: interesting thought, but again I don't know [02:54] flash on linux seems to be really bad compared to windows. Using almost 100% of my cpu for a 1080p video [02:54] ardchoille: What's a sure-fire way to make sure I have opengl installed? [02:54] steelsteve: just state your question [02:54] I have [02:54] I have a question about downloading a certain program on Linux [02:54] srnth: sure [02:54] todd_: right click the initial package and choose "extract here" [02:54] ardchiolle: did that process work for you? [02:54] yes [02:55] SpockVulcan: I have, twice [02:55] todd_: being that you're on 9.10, you won't be able to use the gdm theme as the gdm in 9.10 is not yet feature complete [02:55] steelsteve: od it again [02:55] how do I download Soya3D? [02:55] I need hope... and help, I can't seem to use high-end social sites (yeah, I use those 'cause I have a life, sorta). the problem is that on facebook and others I can't seem to get anything beyond viewing pages, anything else produces a blank page. I use 9.10 and the latest firefox [02:55] okay when I right click on the desktop im not getting any bar popping up! [02:56] Hi, I have dual monitors, works perfect except every reboot I have to redo the setup. When I try to save it I get this error "Failed to parse existing X config file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'!" I'm doing it in "NVIDIA X Server Settings" [02:56] ardchoille: ok i have unpacked all 6 of the files. now the theme manager? is that the theme window under appearances? [02:56] Is there a way to make Ubuntu boot, splash screens non-graphical, so that they show information about what's going on? [02:56] if my hosts.deny keeps blocking IPs for sshd where can I shut this off?? [02:56] Like it is in Damn Small Linux and other smaller distributions:... NNN MB RAM... N00MHz processor ... PS2 mouse... [02:56] . [02:56] - all in a black window with white letters? [02:57] that's BIOS info Gryllida [02:57] okay when I right click on the desktop im not getting any bar popping up! [02:57] Gryllida, there's a key to do that. You can most likely do for bios and grub [02:57] todd_: no, just unpack the initial downloaded package, which it sounds like you already did, then go into the Windows7 folder and drag each of the desired packages into the theme manager. Don't bother with the win7.emerald and gdm packages [02:57] steelsteve: Should I change something in BIOS? (What?) [02:58] no, the info is found by the BIOS [02:58] Out_Cold: How? which key? [02:58] nevermind [02:58] Gryllida, possibly F2 or F8 or ESC or DEL, depends on the system [02:59] steelsteve, where is the info is found by the BIOS? where and what should I undertake to do a non-GUI boot? [02:59] Gryllida, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=638375 [02:59] ardchoille: Thanks for your help. I think you're right, I must already have OpenGL support. I have a game called Neverball installed, which requires OpenGL, and the game works. I'm off to #winehq again. Thanks again. [02:59] my os is ubuntu hardy. I removed oo installd from repo 2.x and tried to install 3.2 downloaded as deb pack. I could not find instructions as to which deb file to install first etc. [02:59] queso: Ah, I thought so. you're welcome [02:59] now after installation, oo does not open. I get message: missing vcl resources -corrupt installation. Help! [02:59] it depends on the starting splash screen Gryllida [02:59] Deb linux oo 3.2 installation help? [03:00] it should say to press something for system info [03:00] hello [03:01] ardchoille: how do i get to theme manager? [03:01] Is emerald dead or dying off? [03:01] I need some help installing a second distro to a seperate partition without wiping out grub2 [03:01] todd_: System > Preferences > Appearance [03:01] i dont know how to do it [03:01] does the live cd come with the nessacay sw to set up a proxy server? [03:01] supremearyal, thanks [03:02] i would like to test something and not have to wait for the packages to dl [03:02] grumbly: just make sure the second distro doesn't install a bootloader, what's the problem? [03:02] OpenSourcery: you want to create a proxy server from a live cd? [03:02] and i can just drag the file with the icons to the theme manager? [03:02] Hammerjak: I'm on a netbook and don't happen to have a usb disk of any sort [03:02] grumbly: have you created your second partition? [03:02] Hammerjak: the second distro should recognize and add the current install to the boot menu, that has been my experience [03:02] todd_: right click on desktop and click "Change Desktop Background", then select the tab labeled "Theme" on the top [03:02] I need hope... and help, I can't seem to use high-end social sites (yeah, I use those 'cause I have a life, sorta). the problem is that on facebook and others I can't seem to get anything beyond viewing pages, anything else produces a blank page. I use 9.10 and the latest firefox [03:02] I NEED help on this, I can't seem to use the forums anyways [03:03] Hammerjak: i have [03:03] todd_: you should be able to yes [03:03] why does firefox load images in a window, and when i right click-->save, it downloads the whole image again? [03:03] grumbly: I'm assuming your current distro is ubuntu, correct? === willis_ is now known as Dr_Willis [03:03] Hammerjak: yeh, karmic [03:04] grumbly: ok then it's using grub2, you just install the second distro (make sure *not* to let it install a bootloader) then boot ubuntu and run 'sudo update-grub' [03:04] jeeez, can you link to to a site that you have done this on [03:04] ardchoille: only 1 out of the 6 files will actually drag and drop. the other files say "does not appear to be a valid theme" [03:04] http://interfacelift.com/wallpaper_beta/Dd9b7ab7/02156_orangedays_1440x900.jpg [03:04] todd_: which one worked? [03:05] jeeez, file not found with that link [03:05] steelsteve: what kind of video card? [03:05] todd_: we should continue this in PM. May I pm you? [03:05] oh, right. [03:05] Hammerjak: if it DOES install a bootloader (ie, dosn't give me an option not to) is it a matter of just reinstalling grub from within karmic [03:05] grumbly: yes [03:05] grumbly: what's the second distro you're planning on installing? [03:05] coz_: http://interfacelift.com/wallpaper_beta/downloads/downloads/widescreen/1440x900/ its the same for any image. when i click on download, it opens the image inside the browser [03:05] Hello every body ... I am having some storage space problem i have dual booted my computer in which i am hving xp in one part and ubuntu 9.10 on other and an common space in between this two all this i have done on an 80gb's of hard disk and now i am having some trouble in storage space ... i mean to say i am runing low in storage space so i am planing to go for an external hard disk but i am not able to decide in which file system should i format it so tha [03:05] t i can use it with charm from both the platform .. should i go for ntfs or some thing els .. please sugest ... [03:06] coz_: and when i right click and save it, it downloads all over again. its a pain, my net connection is really slow [03:06] yes please! [03:06] Hammerjak: I was gonna play with moblin [03:06] jeeez: its a problem with they're site design [03:06] jeeez, well I believe it is caching that picture ....there is probably another way to directly download it but not sure off hand [03:06] Hammerjak: and maybe play with lucid [03:06] grumbly: why dont you try install grub on the partition not on the mbr ? [03:06] grumbly: ah, ok I haven't played with that one but the last step before install should have some sort of Advanced button to un-check the bootloader install [03:06] jeeez, you may be able to do a wget [03:06] jeeez: right click on teh download button [03:06] Ahhh, I think my mail.log is getting rotated every day because it's always over 1mb. [03:07] todd_: see my PM [03:07] CrOnOs__: I don't know if I'll have the option [03:07] So is a repository a collection of data on a third party developer who sends updates? [03:07] jeeez: and save link as [03:07] histo: yeah, i get it. [03:07] jeeez: that way you don't have to jump through clicking then right clicking. [03:08] histo: yes sir! :) [03:08] grumbly: what distro are you installing? [03:08] CrOnOs__: Moblin- and maybe lucid [03:09] i'm not new to *nixes but not too familiar with linux [03:09] more familiar with freebsd- but i can't get it working on the netbook for lack of supported drivers [03:10] Hammerjak: What if I were to install it using VirtualBox to the partition? [03:10] grumbly: if you use virtualbox you don't need a partition at all [03:11] grumbly: virtualbox is an application you would run from ubuntu which would run another OS within it [03:11] Hammerjak: I know, but I dont know how i'm even going to get the installer iso to load without a USB disk [03:11] grumbly: not sure on the performance of running a virtual machine on a netbook though [03:11] Hammerjak: Virtual machine on a net book= not good... [03:12] Hammerjak: it's kind of like trying to live on squirrel milk... [03:12] grumbly: i wouldn't suggest virtualbox then :) [03:12] Hammerjak: I mean to use it simply as a mechanism for loading the install disc [03:12] How do I get into GDM Manager in ubuntu 9.10? === sivel is now known as aka_sivel [03:12] you dont [03:12] LINUXUSERNEEDSHE, what are you trying to do [03:12] grumbly: why dont you try ubuntu netbook remix im using that now === anon is now known as ```````````````` [03:13] Hammerjak: unless there's a magical ability to boot from iso... [03:13] I want to change themes [03:13] <````````````````> I dont like the ubuntu netbook remix [03:13] login theme [03:13] grumbly: not that i'm aware of [03:13] <````````````````> Its fail [03:13] CrOnOs__: I didnt like it... [03:13] LINUXUSERNEEDSHE, ok hold on let me get command [03:13] grub2 can boot iso files for some distros [03:13] LINUXUSERNEEDSHE: you can't change login themes in karmic... though you can change the background image [03:13] CrOnOs__: I dont like the clutter interface [03:13] LINUXUSERNEEDSHE: the 9.10 gdm is not very themeable. You can install the old gdm if you want to use old gdm themes [03:13] LINUXUSERNEEDSHE, ok this is the command gksudo -u gdm dbus-launch gnome-appearance-properties [03:14] LINUXUSERNEEDSHE, that will open up what appears to be the appearance dialog [03:14] what does chmod +s do? [03:14] LINUXUSERNEEDSHE: theres a few tools that let you tweak the looks of gdm2 - but its not as themeable as the old gdm [03:14] infid: sets the SUID bit [03:14] LINUXUSERNEEDSHE, you choose a theme like you are choosing a regular gtk2 theme for the windows [03:14] Hammerjak: you can change login themes,,, I did it... using GDM2Setup [03:14] grumbly: ooooo, i didn't know about that tool :D [03:14] LINUXUSERNEEDSHE, reboot and it should show that theme on login but NOT for the windows [03:14] grumbly: can you use other machine to virtualize those installs and see if you have grub options? [03:15] <````````````````> how is babby formed [03:15] how do i get dpkg to create a log so i can find out why flash-pluggin is failing? [03:15] I have a list of a few other gdm2 config/theme tools at http://delicious.com/dr_willis under the gdm/gdm2 tags [03:15] CrOnOs__: I would like to try but I don't know if I can boot off the installed virtual machine... even if I use an actual disc [03:15] disk [03:15] okay thanks, but I had a glossy black theme then I installed GDM and now its a generic looking login menu with a different background [03:15] Dr_Willis: i know that but i dont know what that means exactly. i'm reading that it means to execute the program as the user who owns the file rather than who is currently trying to run the file [03:16] LINUXUSERNEEDSHE: Take a gander at GDM2Setup [03:16] LINUXUSERNEEDSHE: the 'epidermis' program also ;ets you change the dfault gdm2 themes from a choice of about 6 alternatives [03:16] infid: yes. thats what it does [03:16] LINUXUSERNEEDSHE: I think you can get it with ubuntu tweak, but maybe apt too... [03:16] Dr_Willis: huh... never saw that one... [03:16] infid: set teh suid bit on 'reboot' and then any user can type reboot.. and system reboots. as if root ran it [03:17] grumbly: epidermis worked good for a bit..bt has issues last i tried it [03:17] how do I get into GDM2Setup? [03:17] CrOnOs__: if I use virtualbox or some other virtualization, will I be able to boot off the resultant instalation? [03:18] LINUXUSERNEEDSHE: If you've installed it, it should be in preferences or administration [03:18] Dr_Willis: I never had any issues with GDM2Setup [03:18] grumbly: you dont need to boot the system only see what boot options give you on each distro, if they alow chose where install grub mbr or partition [03:19] the gdm im running is the 2.28.1 version [03:19] im getting print errors everytime i try to print [03:19] ardchoille, I bailed on gwget, no biggie! I just use the command line when I need it! [03:19] grumbly: epidermis does more then gdm2setup does - [03:19] CrOnOs__: Oh... I misunderstood what you were saying. Even still, I dont want to bother taking the time unless I can boot off the installed system [03:19] after i upgraded new kernel etc [03:20] grumbly: epidermis hs some quirks [03:20] how do i troubleshoot? [03:20] LINUXUSERNEEDSHE: find the gdm2setup homepage? read/install/run it? [03:20] Hmm, so I set a dir to chown www-data:www-data, and added group www-data to my user, and still don't have access to the dir. ? Am I missing something? [03:20] <````````````````> well first you have to install windows 7 [03:20] <````````````````> NOTRLLY [03:20] Dr_Willis: hehe... Its the quirks that it does better, right? :) [03:20] greezmunkey: That works too :) [03:20] grumbly: not when it coredumps [03:21] also, yes, the dir is g+w [03:21] grumbly: I think theres work to be done in the whole 'theme selection' area under gnome/ubuntu :) its gotten way too complex. [03:21] Dr_Willis, interesting site ...didnt know about this :) [03:22] coz_: delicious? :) its a must use site [03:22] Dr_Willis, I like it :) [03:22] so, CrOnOs__ or Hammerjak, or anyone else, do you know if I use VirtualBox to load/install an ISO to a separate partition, will that installation be bootable thru the currently installed grub2 or will it just be a waste of time? [03:22] coz_: bettre in google in some ways for finding sites with info/related info to a topic [03:22] grumbly: well the problem is i never installed any of those distros but the option to install grub probably is there, you can always try and even if you delete your grub you can boot from usb/livecd and restore aold grub [03:22] vvvvvvvvvvvvv [03:23] Dr_Willis, very cool.... now i have something to do beside play solitaire :) [03:23] grumbly: using virtualbox to access a 'real' hard drive is not reallly a recomended thing. [03:23] CrOnOs__: that's not the question. I need to know if I the installation will boot if I use virtualbox to install it. I dont have a disc [03:23] grumbly: I'm pretty sure it'll be a waste of time... I didn't even know you could install a VM on a partition... I've only used the virtual hard disks virtualbox creates [03:24] grumbly: i have seen 'convert vbox to a real install' type guides but never tried them [03:24] I have been coding all night [03:24] so I figured what a better way to waste some time like a good old chatroom [03:24] Dr_Willis and Hammerjak: ok... Thankyou for your input. [03:24] grumbly: i wont recomend it [03:24] Have any of you ever heard of Chi-Running? or barefoot running? [03:25] I have, although I've not heard it called Chi-running. [03:25] A friend of mine said by wearing these crazy shoes it makes your legs stronger. (not sketchers) [03:25] http://vibramfivefingershoes.net [03:25] He said because you run on the balls of your feet vs. heels. === B|aSS is now known as blass [03:26] Yes, it forces you to put your foot down differently as you run, which results in both less wear and tear and better posture.

[03:26] you dodo? [03:26] sn1ffer72: read reviews - says they dojnt work. [03:26] grumbly: I'm not too sure, i dual boot windows and linux, installed windows first, then linux so i had a choice in grub, but I've been seriously thinking about deleting windows because the games i play work in wine, and seamless mode in virtualbox is awesome for those windows apps i cant part with that wont work in wine. [03:26] this is the website for GDM2setup, how do I actually install this package?https://launchpad.net/~gdm2setup/+archive/gdm2setup/+packages [03:26] prob is I see a lot of mixed reviews [03:27] and this kid at work.. whom I trust [03:27] grumbly: i've never tried that, but I don't know how grub can mount an iso without first mounting the drive holding the iso [03:27] !ot | sn1ffer72 [03:27] sn1ffer72: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [03:27] seems to think something about em.. but I am not sure [03:27] Hammerjak: I know grub cant, but I thought grub2 might... I at least thought I remembered seeing it was possible, if not easy.... [03:28] but I can't remember the link [03:28] I mean I am not a really good runner [03:28] but I can code :) [03:28] hello, I have a c-media sound card. Before worked fine, but now it doesnt. Dont know why, when I lspci in the terminal it doesnt show the sound card, it seems that the systems doesnt recognize it, what can I do to enabled it again?

[03:29] grumbly: grub2 can boot iso files. but they have to reside on a filesystem grub2 can normally access.. not sure what fs's its limitd to these days. It can do ext2/3/4 and vfat i know. proberly can do others [03:29] hah... If it will do it, I'm gonna try and get freebsd on this crabby snabby turdbag [03:29] Dr_Willis: it'll be on an ext4 part [03:29] grumbly: kinda offtopic, but have you played with pc-bsd at all? [03:30] hello from moscow =) [03:30] Hammerjak: yes. it is... "the bsd equivalant of ubunut" [03:30] as it was kindly put... [03:30] can anyone help me with my sound card issue? [03:31] i installled some themes, and they are not there in appearance, how do i fix this? [03:31] I used it a few years ago, back when 6.0 was all the rage... but I found it a little... off. I couldn't get out of the genkernel and couldnt do a couple other things. This was years ago though, so I can only expect it to have gotten better [03:31] hello all the file adobe-flashplugin.prerm does not exist on my karmic system a solution to the remove error #2 was to patch this file anyone know where i can find it? === meatcar_ is now known as meatcar [03:32] hikenboot, try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [03:33] Hammerjak: if you havent had your hands on setting up a FreeBSD system, it's actually quite easy... I dont know why people would want to use PC-BSD. but then again, I'm not afraid of CLI and i know how to find and read man pages. [03:33] grumbly: yeah, i installed freebsd a couple months ago just to play with it and i never could get gdm/kde to launch [03:33] grumbly: i have no use for a server so i didn't really want to setup the box the CLI way [03:33] hikenboot, sorry didnt read your post carefully enough [03:34] hi , i installed some themes, and they are not there in appearance, how do i make them re-appear? [03:34] Hammerjak: Getting an X system on it really isn't difficult... [03:34] especially now... there's dbus and hald [03:34] hikenboot, that particular file does not exist on my system either [03:34] hikenboot, what is it that requires it? [03:34] grumbly: eh, that's alright, i was just poking around with it in a VM anyway [03:35] its a required file that needs to be patched in order to uninstall the flash plugin properly === drunkyHat is now known as funkyHat [03:35] anyway, i gotta go, see ya [03:35] Hammerjak: OH! that is a very different ball of crap... I have NEVER been able to get a reasonable X anything in VM running freebsd [03:35] grumbly: lmao, thanks that makes me feel better :) [03:35] hikenboot, so if you go into synaptic pacakge [03:35] MAYBE ice... [03:35] but thats it [03:36] hikenboot, sorry synatpic hit search type in adobe and right clickt he flashplugin-installer "REmove completly" it gives an error? [03:36] Hammerjak: I did get xfce on ONCE... but it was QUIRKY AS HELL [03:36] hey guys, does anyone know how to find the default gateway of a computer on ubuntu?, i know how to do it in windows, ipconfig /all, but what is the default ip adress command in the terminal> [03:36] ? [03:37] skullcandy: ifconfig -a [03:37] how do i install KDE4 (or whatever the newest one is) on Ubuntu 9.10? [03:37] skullcandy: ifconfig -a [03:37] DAMN LAG [03:37] hey can i revert back to the old gdm viasynaptic [03:37] hey [03:37] thankyou guys [03:37] ip route add default via 192.168.1.254 [03:37] hey can i revert back to the old gdm vias ynaptic [03:37] grumbly: please drop the caps and watch your language [03:37] Gamrok: No [03:37] seanbrystone: do you want to install kubuntu-desktop? [03:38] Gamrok: yes you can - from what ive heard [03:38] seanbrystone: or just kde? [03:38] http://pastebin.ca/1803349 [03:38] that was for you skullcandy [03:38] grumbly, ?is that kde 4 or 4.5 [03:38] Gamrok: i havent done it. Ivve seen guides/tutorial sites that mention doing it [03:38] ok thanks guys [03:38] seanbrystone: it's 4.4 i believe [03:38] Hi - If I go into System/Administration/Users and Groups - and make a new user or account can I delete the 1st original account I used to setup and install Karmic ? ? [03:38] grumbly, not sure what the difference of kubunu-desktop is from KDE [03:39] who one knows the Aptana Studio's PHP plug-in matter? [03:39] @sn1ffer72 thankyou [03:39] who one knows the Aptana Studio's PHP plug-in matter? [03:39] seanbrystone: kubuntu supplants the typical ubuntu installation with KDE and such... just installing kde won't do that, so you'll be able to get back into gnome with ease and not have to worry about missing things [03:40] yeah i think i just want KDE by itself then [03:40] seanbrystone: either way, use Synaptic... they're both standard packages [03:40] how would i do that? [03:40] who one knows the Aptana Studio's PHP plug-in matter? [03:40] who one knows the Aptana Studio's PHP plug-in matter? [03:40] no flood =) [03:41] sorry about that:D [03:41] grumbly, ok thanks [03:41] but nobody cares me :S [03:41] wine doesn't have sound [03:41] error in my pastebin paste http://pastebin.ca/1803352 [03:41] racerd: what version of wine are you running? [03:41] 2.1 [03:41] seanbrystone: synaptic and search for kde. when you find what you think is right, read the info... mark it to install, and if it says it's going to remove a bunch of stuff, you've chosen the wrong one [03:41] it was working and then it stopped [03:41] http://pastebin.ca/1803351 <-- see hikenboot [03:41] racerd: 2.1? or 1.2? :P [03:41] If I want to move my home directory and its encrypted, should I log out first? Otherwise it will copy the encrypted version and the decrypted version, no? [03:41] i said... 1.2..... [03:41] >.> [03:41] grumbly, ok thanks again :D [03:41] hehe [03:42] i am not sure why it isn't working [03:42] no problemologinty [03:42] racerd: I'm guessing you've checked the sound settings in "winecfg"? [03:42] is anyone good with port forwarding> [03:42] ? [03:42] skullcandy: decent, why? [03:42] the gui? [03:42] skullcandy: I'll give you a quick answer as to whether or not I can help you :P [03:42] seanbrystone: if you want kde, you should install kubuntu-desktop [03:42] racerd: yup [03:42] havin' a tobacco stick... back in 3 [03:42] almoxarife it produces this error ----> Error: Conflicts with the installed package 'flashplugin-installer' [03:42] yeah [03:43] i didn't change anything [03:43] racerd: have you tried using OSS instead of ALSA? [03:43] !info kubuntu-desktop | seanbrystone [03:43] iconmefisto, but isnt that more permanent? like how would i get back to ubuntu if things go wrong? [03:43] just kind of errored out [03:43] seanbrystone: kubuntu-desktop (source: kubuntu-meta): Kubuntu desktop system. In component main, is optional. Version 1.154 (karmic), package size 23 kB, installed size 52 kB [03:43] i was using oss and wow had sound [03:43] played a movie [03:43] .avi [03:43] came back [03:43] who one knows the Aptana Studio's PHP plug-in matter? [03:43] and no sound [03:43] racerd: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:43] hikenboot: use synaptic, and repair, can you do that? [03:43] What port does SWAT run on per default? [03:44] nope it fails to repair it [03:44] seanbrystone: it's no more or less permanent than installing kdebase (or whatever package you intend to install) [03:44] @segin they run on 911 [03:44] jk [03:44] skullcandy: ty [03:44] hikenboot: is adobe flash installed as per synaptic? [03:44] seanbrystone: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome [03:44] racerd: ouch. that's weird. [03:44] yeah [03:45] iconmefisto, thanks [03:45] it was [03:45] i am trying to compile some software but i'm getting the following error: http://pastebin.ca/1803356 (note i DO have libxml2-dev installed!) [03:45] racerd: unfortunately, out of the scope of my expertise, sorry buddy [03:45] please help! [03:45] almoxarife it was installed via aptitude, but failed during the uninstall [03:45] Is there a meta package for moblin? === zac is now known as Guest42316 [03:45] Do you recommend to do disk defragmentation before shrinking a partition? Or is is of no relation to the safety level of the process? [03:45] hikenboot: adobe is installed as per synaptic? [03:45] I screwed up my video, im in low mode how do I fix it? [03:45] that is ok, my sound for my speakers don't work either, just the headphone jack. I have a gateway p6831fx laptop [03:45] i need cups help :( [03:46] low graphics mode* [03:46] is there a command i could use to reload the sound ? [03:46] Guest42316: what did you do? [03:46] Gryllida, definitly defrag windows before hand especially xp [03:46] Guest42316: leading up to the error [03:46] install a bad driver [03:46] I fixed it though [03:46] Completely new to Ubuntu/Linux, trying to get my WiFi set up. It doesn't look like Ubuntu is even recognizing my WiFi adapter. Can someone point me in the right direction please? [03:46] racerd: 'sound' in prefs? [03:46] I uninstalled it completely now what? [03:46] WiW: System -> Admin -> Hardware Drivers [03:46] almoxarife i did a sudo aptitude install ... [03:46] Guest42316: can you install the correct driver? ;) [03:46] I still have the problem [03:47] coz_, thanks, and why "particularly xp"? [03:47] hikenboot: no matter, does synaptic see 'adobe flash' installed? [03:47] Gryllida, I believe windows7 defrags just after installation [03:47] i mean like a terminal command to reload the sound [03:47] Gryllida, xp does not [03:47] kareese, I don't see it in hardware drivers and considering I screwed up last time I dont think its a good idea I try again..... [03:47] What package creates /etc/samba/smb.conf? I'm trying to get my installation back to pristine condition and am finding it difficult given that samba-common blows up on --reinstall if there is no /etc/samba/smb.conf [03:47] iconmefisto: I only suggested one over the other so that some of the gnome stuff doesnt get removed by kubuntu-desktop [03:48] This webpage doesn't resolve for me... but it does for others. Is it my isp's dns? Firefox can't find the server at support.moc.edu. [03:48] Guest42316: while it might suck - try googling your wireless card (find it with "lshw -C network") [03:48] grumbly: no gnome stuff should get removed. it's quite possible to have both kde and gnome [03:48] Guest42316: special instructions, probably [03:48] VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RC410 [Radeon Xpress 200M] [03:48] | thats my gpu [03:48] coz_, I see your main idea, thanks for this information [03:48] this is odd, but it fixed itself! http://pastebin.ca/1803361 [03:48] Gryllida, this is assuming you are installing on the same disk that windows is on...if on the other hand you have an extra drive in the system defragging is not necesary...simply install ubuntu to the secondary disk [03:48] Guest42316: whoops... nevermind [03:49] re WiFi, I had to use ndiswrapper with a windows driver to get mine working. a google search with the product code should turn up something... [03:49] Guest42316: wrong person... and command. ATI, eh? [03:49] iconmefisto: I must be thinking of another package... kde-desktop maybe? One of the kde- metas wants to remove some gnome stuff [03:49] Yeah [03:49] Guest42316: have you tried reconfiguring your xorg.conf using the ati utility? [03:49] I just changed the package name [03:49] Gryllida, also if this is windows7 after some use defrag that as well [03:49] coz_, that is right the case: I have only one disk, only one partition, need to shrink it. yes, I am on Windows XP. Thanks! [03:49] I dont even have that, I dont think I have ever had the driver [03:49] iconmefisto: I only know because I was looking into it yesterday [03:49] IS it in synaptics package manager? [03:49] Gryllida, cool good luck then :) [03:50] Guest42316: it comes with the proprietary driver from ati.com [03:50] so how do i reload x11 w/o rebooting? [03:50] coz_, thanks for wishing good luck! :) [03:50] racerd: sudo service gdm restart [03:50] racerd: assuming you're using gnome [03:50] what is the simplest way to build a new kernel, 2.6.32, (not avail through packages in ubuntu 9.10)? [03:50] jimi_: came up on the second try for me, it's http://support.moc.edu/MRcgi/MRentrancePage.pl you're looking for right? (might have been unaccessible temporarily) [03:50] pedrocr, here is a copy of a default smb.conf: http://paste.ubuntu.com/380118/ [03:51] arand, i think its m isp dns.... [03:51] grumbly: I've only ever done it the other way around, install ubuntu-desktop on a kubuntu install, so maybe you're right, but installing ubuntu-desktop again should set things back [03:51] I just want the same configuration as the stock 2.6.31 kernel [03:51] Guest42316: no clue... I use nvidia... let me... check.... [03:51] teratorn: you look at kernel.org yet? [03:51] greezmunkey, thanks, it worked now that I purged samba-common before reinstalling [03:51] pedrocr, cool :) [03:51] iconmefisto: that would work, but it's an extry step [03:51] grumbly: is grabbing the tarball and starting from scratch your best advice? :) [03:52] Yeah I have a ballin gpu on my desktop a dual 9800 GTX+ graphics card but on this its meh [03:52] teratorn: I dunno... I am not well versed in linux kernel building... [03:52] meh?? [03:52] Put in Casablanca, Totem gave me an error message, with reason: no reason. [03:52] ubuntu being made for the graphical minded user, why do I see so much terminal fix suggestions??? does not seem to me to fit the picture of 'ease', proving your terminal prowess is great, me, give me a gui fix and I am happy, just a thought [03:52] teratorn: only ever did it a handfull of times and only when I really really needed to [03:53] ty [03:53] almoxarife, you have to understand where Linux came from... [03:53] i'm going to try that here in a few [03:53] ... does GParted defragment a disk before shrinking a partition? or is this just not possible? [03:53] almoxarife: because it's faster... and since most people who figure out fixes do so using cli... and it is STILL linux, which is... still very much a cli OS even with its bells and whistles [03:54] greezmunkey: I know where ubuntu is trying to go [03:54] How do I move an encrypted home folder? I can't execute the commands without being logged in, if I'm logged in then it mounts my home dir. It's lose lose. :[ [03:54] almoxarife, where is that?? Do tell. [03:54] is there any standard GUI config tool for samba or is editting /etc/samba/smb.conf the way to go? [03:54] greezmunkey: GUI, I like it [03:54] is adobe flash player not working for ubuntu? [03:55] pedrocr, none that are really worth using. There is a web interface. [03:55] greezmunkey: He has a point. It is definitly one of the more user friendly linux- non- windows-trying-to-be [03:55] magn3ts: log in as root, or as another user, or login from a virtual console instead of through gdm, maybe? [03:55] eer: sure it is :) [03:55] hi , i installed some themes, and they are not there in appearance, how do i make them re-appear? google was no help [03:55] pedrocr: there is, right click on a folder and you have the share option, that is samba giu [03:55] JoeSomebody: how did you install them? [03:55] almoxarife, that I know, I meant the other options [03:55] I'm having troubles with grub after windows. I install grub again just findn but I can't make it detect the windows installation. Any ideas? [03:55] teratorn, if I login through a tty it mounts my dir. I don't have another user and root is disabled :P I think I'll just do it from a live disc [03:55] almoxarife, but thanks [03:55] kareeser dragged them [03:56] JoeSomebody: to...? [03:56] to be able to browse the local network is it just a matter of setting the work group? [03:56] since yesterday it is not working for me flv player, is it becvause of updates? [03:56] grumbly, Agreed, but I don't know of any OS that is truely gui based. [03:56] kareeser appearance screen [03:56] greezmunkey: Amiga [03:56] no cli at all [03:56] JoeSomebody: great - and... were there any errors? [03:56] pedrocr: I leave samba alone, most of my conf fixes are in dnsmasq.conf, no gui there I assume [03:56] i need the az ubuntu channel name so i can join. anybody know what it is? and how to save it?? [03:57] magn3ts: why can't you "cd .." and umount /home/ [03:57] magn3ts: sudo umount ;) [03:57] hmmph, I guess the shell will have open files [03:57] teratorn, I can't imagine that unmounting while logged in is a good idea :O [03:57] magn3ts: hey you're the one who asked for a hammer [03:57] kareeser should i delete them from .themes and start over? [03:57] greezmunkey: there's a couple others out there... Like Mac OS 9 and such [03:57] magn3ts: it won't hurt that much [03:58] kareeser yeah i had errors (newbie) looking for a cool theme [03:58] teratorn, lol. I don't mind restarting. I have to setup the fstab entry for /home anyway so its no biggie [03:58] hamza [03:58] JoeSomebody: it depends... I usually go the direct route and extract the files straight to /usr/share/themes [03:58] perhaps ubuntu irc needs a #ubuntu-gui-fix-room ? [03:58] grumbly, Mac OS 9... that went the way of the dinosaur, next... [03:58] JoeSomebody: less of a headache, because I ran into the same probs. as you [03:58] lol [03:58] JoeSomebody: yes... so clear your .themes first [03:59] kareeser ok , all of them? [03:59] greezmunkey: and considering the AVERAGE user has probably never done anything that would need cli, Ubuntu has the right idea in trying to GUI-ficate and automate as much as possible [03:59] almoxarife, I'm just trying to browse the hosts in the local network and the network doesn't shown anything [03:59] JoeSomebody: whichever ones don't show up in appearance settings :) [03:59] i don't know which were already there? [03:59] ah [03:59] ok [03:59] grumbly, again , agreed. [03:59] JoeSomebody: in other words - the ones that don't work :P [04:00] kareeser thanks :) [04:00] pedrocr: the 'host' os your harddrive [04:00] is [04:00] on wubi? [04:00] hello people [04:00] greezmunkey: Mac OS 9 and AmigaOS both... but if you ever want a really fun experience, use an amiga as a firewall [04:01] Security through Obsolescence [04:01] grumbly: smile when you say that [04:01] Why are flash web videos playing so jerky? I installed Ubuntu 9.10 on my laptop a few days ago. Note: I am Linux SUPER-N00B [04:01] pedrocr: is yours a wubi install? [04:01] Blue1: I do! [04:01] grumbly, yikes! But then again, Amiga was WAY ahead of the curve. The Internet was in diapers at the time... Back on topic... [04:01] AlphaOne: do you have graphics card drivers installed through "System - Admin - Hardware Drivers"? [04:02] AlphaOne: 32 bit or 64 bit system? [04:02] 32 [04:02] greezmunkey: i still have several amigas :) [04:02] greezmunkey: spanish for word... PALABRA [04:02] AlphaOne: talk to Blue1, I'm actually swamped. Next time, buddy. [04:02] lol ok kareeser [04:02] almoxarife, no, I'm trying to get Ubuntu to participate in an ADS network, found a howto already [04:02] Looking back at these old OS's i still see features they had that i wish were in Ubuntu/Linux [04:02] Dr_Willis: Why don't other systems put their OS on EEprom??? its sooooo much faster to load! [04:02] printing will work for my sudo user but not my normal user who cant be sudo :( [04:02] AlphaOne: do this in your browser: about:plugins [04:02] can i get help [04:02] ?

[04:27] jiohdi: even for non-noobs, they're all pretty similar... each one has its own perks and downfalls... [04:27] grumbly: I am installing pc bsd in virtual box as we speak... like to see what it looks like [04:27] bsd rox:P [04:27] this noob only believes in ubuntu thus far [04:27] jiohdi: it looks like KDE [04:28] grumbly: which version [04:28] hey guys im using jaunty, i would like to use the command add-apt-X how do i install this on 9.04?? [04:28] almoxarife: that has been made ubundantly clear... and close-mindedness is the downfall of all good people... [04:28] hi, this is karmic, tried to do SVG import in Skencil, and it told me that I need python-xml, is it removed ? [04:28] jiohdi: last I used, it was kde3 [04:28] but that was a while back [04:28] ubuntu actually is the transitional os 4 linux noobs [04:28] iim having a problem with trying to install some wireless drivers in 9.10. hows come i am unable to use the make command? [04:28] I believe it has affected the same SVG thing in blender too [04:28] kostkon: Nope! That doesn't work either. It tells me that I don't have libmimic so I can't use the webcam. It EVEN tells me this after I install the libmimic0 package! [04:29] grumbly: kde3 was very similar to gnome, but 4 is a world of difference [04:29] pyr0path: because you haven't installed it yet :) [04:29] jiohdi: kde3 was not at all similar to gnome... [04:29] what am I missing? [04:29] pyr0path: I believe the package "build-essential" will installing it [04:29] jiohdi id like 2 c [04:29] grumbly in what way? [04:29] thanks in Advance [04:29] kareeser, mind if i pm you? [04:29] nope [04:30] what does the ppa: notation mean I can do with it [04:30] how would I add a ppa: source to my sources? [04:30] um... its only similarities are that it is a window manager and has a bunch of gui apps... [04:30] it means you can add it to software sources [04:30] AK|laptop, you need to install the python-libmimic package, because emesene is a python app, not a c/c++ one [04:30] just like a deb or deb-src line [04:30] grumbly: perhaps, but I accept the narrowness of the path called #ubuntu, I have been to #linux on undernet, I believe we have said more here about linux than I ever saw there, call me close minded [04:30] except you don't need to verify the source with a key [04:30] ah [04:30] grumbly: compared to 4 it was very similar... 4 is completely different [04:30] * iflema :) [04:31] jiohdi: you MUST be on some sort of hallucenogen that I would like to be taking [04:31] so I can just sudo echo deb ppa:foo/bar >> /etc/apt/sources.list ? [04:31] frontendloader: no [04:31] I'd use software sources.

[04:31] almoxarife: indeed that would be true [04:32] kostkon: kostkon No candidate version [04:32] frontendloader: I use 'ubuntu tweak' to load ppa's, they may not all be there, but it's a gui and its easy [04:32] where's the bot? [04:32] hmm strange [04:32] !floppy [04:32] ubottu: python-xml [04:32] !info python-lxml karmic [04:32] !python-xml [04:32] almoxarife: but comments like ubuntu is better than BSD are just ignorant and inflamitory [04:32] frontendloader: that command will fail due to the redirection ">>". The proper way to do that is: echo "blah" | sudo tee -a /path/file but there is an easier way to add PPA's [04:32] grumbly: I use debian on an old machine and it only allowed kde3.5 but when I tried kde4 on ubuntu it was 4... which is completely different than 3.5, which was very much like gnome [04:32] kostkon: thanks [04:32] !ppa | frontendloader [04:33] martianixor, did you manage to install it? [04:33] kostkon: how !!! It tells me No Candidate Version [04:33] jiohdi: I dont agree, but whatever. They have similarities, but not many. Have you used LXDE? [04:33] grumbly: perhaps, if I was on the BSD channel, I walk the narrow path, I know my station in life [04:33] To mount floppy disks, see here : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MakeFloppyDriveAvailableToEveryone [04:33] python-lxml (source: lxml): pythonic binding for the libxml2 and libxslt libraries.

My contact needs to come back from being afk before I can tell for certain, but it's sending the requests okay. Thanks a lot. [04:33] is ubuntu tweak safe? [04:34] grumbly, I have used a lot of them... gnome, kde, lxde, icewm, even openbox and twm [04:34] AK|laptop, :) [04:34] jiohdi: I like LXDE... i think it will be pretty phenomenal when it gets to be a bit more mature [04:34] frontendloader: Use either add-apt-repository "ppa-notation" or paste the ppa line in software centre "other" [04:34] <`mOOse`> xfce ftw [04:34] almoxarife: I haven't seen anything to suggest it isn't [04:34] how do I format a floppy disk? [04:35] frontendloader: correction software sources [04:35] grumbly, I find icewm to be extremely useful on older machines [04:35] eh... XFCE WAS good... now its a little... cumbersome (not bloated or over done)... [04:35] but lxde is good [04:35] martianixor, strange. open a terminal and give: apt-cache policy python-lxml what do you get? [04:35] grumbly, hmm i think i found the problem [04:35] xfce was cranky and after every tenth boot or so, I would lose my panels [04:35] Ziggyzxxyl: mkfs.vfat /dev/fd0 [04:35] kostkon: I have python-lxml installed [04:35] martianixor, oh [04:35] jiohdi: LXDE/openbox didnt do it for you? It was grooving well and good on an ancient p2 i have [04:36] kareeser you still around? [04:36] <`mOOse`> I don't have similar experience with it - I really enjoy xubuntu [04:36] grumbly, that is a very good combo for old machines, but I added some memory and so I am just using gnome again [04:36] JoeSomebody: yes... [04:36] Question regarding sharing wired Ethernet connection in Network Mgr: Is the default IP Network configurable, it currently is using 10.42.43.0/24 Interface IP X.X.X.1 [04:36] JoeSomebody: pm me [04:36] kostkon: Oh wait I need to execute that cache command [04:36] momita: good! remember what it is, and how you are to fix it, then share it with some other shmoe with the same problem [04:36] kostkon: Oh not really [04:36] grumbly, i have some professional fonts installed in .fonts like Adobe Garamond Pro, it is detected by Abiword, not OpenOffice, but I do not use OPenOffice usually [04:36] <|604|> kubuntu channel is dead, so i have a question, i am trying to install firefox, and its telling me all the components or what ever have been installed, but when ever is earch for it on my pc all i find is the installer :/ ??? [04:36] jiohdi: hahah! cheater! [04:36] kostkon: but I have it installed [04:37] momita: is there a question somewhere? [04:37] grumbly, so when i printed a document with Adobe garamond pro it hit "stop" [04:37] martianixor, oh you are right. there isn't really a version of python-xml for karmic on the repos http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=python-xml&searchon=names&suite=all§ion=all [04:37] grumbly, its hard to find memory for old compaqs :) [04:37] jiohdi: nah... just go to yardsales and ebay [04:37] grumbly, when i tried it with my sudo user it did not have those fonts installed [04:37] jiohdi: I have an AMD k6 era compaq... [04:37] kostkon: Oh dear ..... [04:38] ardchoille: I got started on linux on ubuntu, tried figuring it out first with DSL, since then I have not seen anything that I can't do in ubuntu when it comes to doing linux stuff, its not shilling its practical experience [04:38] jiohdi: want some of that ram? [04:38] <`mOOse`> |604| - have you looked in /home/.firefox? [04:38] So, I'm installing Eeebuntu on my friend's netbook. She wants XP Pro on it as well, but doesn't have the CD yet. She'll have it soon, but wants Eeebuntu now, so I'm partitioning the hard drive using the Eeebuntu installer, which, as far as I know, is the same installer as Ubuntu. I choose "Specify partitions manually", and have a few questions as to how exactly to set the partitions up. [04:38] momita: OH!!! that's the issue you had... oh... [04:38] grumbly, I think I have installed about a dozen times so far on that old machine until I got it where it wants me [04:38] grumbly, so i dont know why it crashed . . .

[04:38] ? [04:38] In the user configuration root is grayed out [04:38] momita: did you fix it? [04:39] kostkon: I'm unable to think I was busy with a project..., any suggestions for how to resolve that SVG import issue due to the missing python-xml? [04:39] <|604|> kubuntu channel is dead, so i have a question, i am trying to install firefox, and its telling me all the components or what ever have been installed, but when ever is earch for it on my pc all i find is the installer :/ ??? [04:39] almoxarife: I agree totally :) [04:39] DanDare: it's not recommended you do that [04:39] DanDare: do you still wish to know? [04:39] grumbly, well not really . . . if someone selects one of those fonts that appear in abiword it will get the same error [04:39] kostkon: apt-cache search python | grep xml ? [04:39] but I admit to being the linux noob who will hunt down a gui for problem solving, call me cheap that way ardchoille :) [04:39] kareeser, yeah i wish to know :) [04:39] hehe [04:39] martianixor, you could try installing the version from jaunty (http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/python-xml) although i am not really sure it that's the best solution [04:39] momita, i guess i will have to put the slow open office instead? [04:39] We're wanting to dual boot, but also have a shared partition (probably fat32) that has all of her documents and stuff like that. We've got all the sizes mapped out, so we don't need help with that. [04:40] momita: have you tried reinstalling the fonts? [04:40] DanDare: if you get compromised, don't come crying to us :P [04:40] Is fat32 the best format for this partition? [04:40] DanDare: sudo passwd [04:40] momita: maybe they're not installed properly? [04:40] grumbly, fc-cache -f -v? [04:40] kostkon , martianixor do not mix release packages like that, it causes more problems [04:40] EMABrad: ntfs [04:40] kostkon: this sounds like what I was thinking, that I'll install it from source [04:40] ardchoille: yeah I know, I wouldn't do it [04:40] EMABrad: fat32 or fat16 are nice and compatible, but old... very old. [04:40] ardchoille: thanks :-) [04:40] yw [04:40] momita: or if they're from a package, try using apt/synaptic [04:40] kareeser, sudo pawwd changes passwd for current user [04:40] DanDare: nothing happened. === katie11 is now known as Caitlyn [04:41] grumbly, how could they not be installed properly? you just copy them into .font directory [04:41] Eeebuntu reads NTFS fine? [04:41] EMABrad: yes sir [04:41] <`mOOse`> EMABrad - it's recommended that you install the MS os first then the linux distro - that way grub (the bootloader) knows what to do with the windows install - if you do it the other way, it's more work [04:41] kareeser, oh now sorry, ill try this way [04:41] kostkon: thank you so much :-) [04:41] momita: I dont know- but maybe one of the programs doesn't read the fonts from that place- maybe there's some symlinks missing... not sure [04:41] Ziggyzxxyl, chech on /etc/fstab if /dev/fd0 is really your floppy drive.. or if it point to another direction [04:42] Well, as of right now, her computer isn't operational, and she needs it, but won't have the Windows CD until next weekend, so we figured this was the best option. [04:42] i dont do word processing on my netbook which is all I have running ubuntu [04:42] DanDare: fd0 is floppy drive. the drive light came on for a second then went out. Can't mount the floppy disk or detect any media in drive. [04:42] EMABrad: there are ways to get the grub bootloader back [04:42] Ziggyzxxyl, Ubuntu dont have a graphical form to format an diskette? On KDE ? [04:42] EMABrad: don't worry too much about that [04:42] kostkon: I'll try to find a solution before Sunrise, in order to not get burned due to the fact that I'm a vampire right now [04:42] martianixor, it seems python-xml gets broken with python 2.6 that's why is missing from the karmic and lucid repos [04:42] grumbly: are you wine??? [04:42] kostkon: yeah, launchpad? [04:42] martianixor, here is the bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-xml/+bug/343242 [04:42] archboxman: huh? i dont understand...

[04:43] serious question, as a wubi user I have seen ubuntu grub2 crash on me three times this far, I mean no way to get the root.disk to work properly after what seems to be kernel upgrades, any one seeing the same thing? [04:43] yo, can any of you help me with my wireless? [04:43] When I'm selecting the partition to put Eeebuntu on, what format should this be? Ext3 or Ext4? [04:43] momita: OH wow... I totally misread that... [04:43] noob and wubi, that's right [04:44] grumbly: happy you drink liquor sorry I got the Caption Morgan out front.lol [04:44] momita: maybe you should look into the respective word processor documentation and see if there's an extra step that you need [04:44] anyone here an expert on dmraid? [04:44] Can someone confirm that the find | cpio command on this page is accurate: http://tinyurl.com/ybhwogg ? Thanks! [04:44] Can someone confirm that the find | cpio command on this page is accurate: http://tinyurl.com/ybhwogg ? Thanks! [04:44] ek, sorry [04:44] Also, I figure that the Eeebuntu partition should be "Primary". Am I right? [04:45] Should the type for the storage partition be "Logical"? [04:45] archboxman: I prefer a good strong Meyers drink or a sailor jerry... Cap'n Mo just doesn't have the gonads... but the select(?) ones are pretty good... the parrot bay can bite the dirty side of my incontenent aunt's diapers though [04:45] anyone? Because I have recently re-loaded ubuntu 9.10 on my computer and I have installed all the needed drivers for my wireless card but when I click on the network it doesn't connect, then sometimes it will randomly connect fine. But thats like 1/100 [04:46] DELmE: have you tried a different network manager? [04:46] yea [04:46] Hello everyone, I'm busy toubleshooting my girlfriend's parents' laptop, but the problem is that windows 7 is refusing to boot after I installed Mint a couple months ago, is this the appropriate place for suck a question?

[04:46] i tried wicd [04:46] what's faster -- sending files over a LAN with scp, or with samba? [04:46] yea im connected via ethernet now [04:46] What cames with Ubuntu isnt KDE ?

Do I need to install Windows on a machine just to put files onto a floppy? [04:47] im picking up the wifi but it just wont connect [04:47] EMABrad ext3 or ext4, both will work.... take ya pick..... doesnt have to be on primary partitions.... the thing there is you only get four primary or three plus logical partitions......

[04:53] Hi, my ubuntu 9.04 is acting strange, file manager is not responding, all icons on the desktop have disappeared and there is no internet access, I am using a live cd to be here right now, anyone know how i can fix this? [04:53] DELmE, its probably to do with missing extra files, check dmesg [04:53] doing that apt purge i will free 1,1Gb of space, sounds good :) [04:53] and then will try installing xfce4 [04:53] kostkon: Nope. Emesene isn't working. It's giving me the same problem I have with aMSN. *frustrated* [04:53] psycho: how do i do that? lol, im still pretty new to linux [04:53] AK|laptop, :/ [04:53] * martianixor staring ...

I have an nVidia 275ftw [04:54] Yo, guys. On Karmic, why is it that with both aMSN and emesene, I can neither send nor receive webcams? [04:54] jiohdi: thats my last option.

[04:55] igie, I have crashed so many systems since I began with linux its just second nature to me :) [04:55] I know my webcam works because Cheese displays it just fine. I know my friend's cam works fine. So WHY can't I send or receive the data? :( [04:55] igie: look at your dmesg file something didn't load [04:55] archboxman: i've even tried using synaptic, but its pointless because i have no internet :S [04:55] igie, it helps to have a 16gig flash drive for back ups :) [04:55] My internet connection was erroneous. What do I set as the mount point? [04:55] I have even crashed that :) [04:56] EMABrad are you going through the installer now? [04:56] psycho_oreos:http://paste.ubuntu.com/380143/ [04:56] jiohdi: i know the feeling, but i want to figure this one out... [04:56] jiohdi: burn to dvd important files [04:56] archboxman: yah :) [04:56] EMABrad, im not sure.. im not sure if internet have mount points. What´s the problem ? [04:56] * martianixor day dreaming [04:56] Yeah, I'm going through it on a separate computer. [04:56] archboxman: i would't know what I was looking for in the dmesg file... hell, i don't even know where to find that file. [04:57] huh... my suspend isnt working [04:57] no suspend on close [04:57] DanDare: I'm installing Eeebuntu on a different computer, but got disconnected from the internet briefly on this one.

[04:57] archboxman: I've tried re-installing nautilus, and that doesn't fix it, and well, i can't really change much because i have no internet :( [04:57] igie: locate dmesg then use text editor to read file it should say somewhere towards the boot you install failed listing problems [04:58] it suspends [04:58] ok, trying now, thanks. . I think its the same driver I'm using though [04:58] igie: gnome failed or xserver... [04:58] igie: I lean toward gnome because graphics loaded [04:58] kareeser: but no suspend on close [04:59] grumbly: laptop lid close? [04:59] archboxman: when I looked in synaptic, gnome is not something that has the ubuntu logo next to it, and it doesn't seem to ever have been installed on my box. [04:59] kareeser: yeh [04:59] Should I do a different mount point if I intend to install XP in the future? [04:59] igie: using what kde or windows mananger [05:00] what's the option set for "When laptop lid is closed" under "System -> Preferences -> Power"? [05:00] grumbly: [05:00] archboxman: windows manager I believe.... the one out of the box.... I've only ever messed around with kde on openSuse [05:00] igie: fluxbox [05:01] Can someone confirm that the find | cpio command on this page is accurate: http://tinyurl.com/ybhwogg ? Specifically, should it be executed as root? Would an alternative like unison or rsync be a better choice. I'd like to preserve ^all file attributes^. [05:01] EMABrad i suggest installing XP on the first partition...... up front the install ya linux after...... and no the mount point is still / [05:01] kareeser: suspend [05:01] archboxman: what's fluxbox? [05:01] igie: ok sorry Im 100% a gnome user :) [05:01] grumbly: and it works in windows (ie. not a physical problem)? [05:01] grumbly: if so, it may be time for a bug report. [05:01] kareeser: dunno... never use windows on this netbook [05:01] psycho_oreos: I get an error when I try to execute a make command with the files you gave me: http://paste.ubuntu.com/380148/ [05:01] igie: http://xwinman.org/ [05:01] kareeser: it worked before I hosed the system last week [05:02] archboxman: so is fluxbox what ubuntu uses as its file manager ? [05:02] She doesn't have the XP CD yet, but needs to use the computer now, so I'm sort of forced to start the installation with Eeebuntu. [05:02] kareeser: its a fresh install of karmic, same as previousl [05:02] DELmE, the guide from the link I posted said nothing about making files [05:03] iflema: She doesn't have the XP CD yet, but needs to use the computer now, so I'm sort of forced to start the installation with Eeebuntu. [05:03] EMABrad win xp will complain and youll have to wipe ya linux if there is no naitive window file system on the first partition [05:03] oh, just assumend i had to. thanks, ill try it again [05:03] igie: file manager is not your only problem, It won't load a desktop... kde could have failed during boot up... [05:03] i installed ubuntu 9.10 on my laptop, i only have bradcom sta driver available for my wifi card. What happened with b43 driver? STA does not support monitor mode. Is there a way to install b43? [05:03] DELmE, read what it said in the link clearly, it was telling you that you need ndiswrapper and the driver disc [05:04] OK guy, prior to 9.10 when I wanted to edit the network settings I would make changes in /etc/network/interfaces .. that file has nothing now? Where do I set up my eth1 to be static on boot and eth0 to be DHCP? [05:04] EMABrad just format 10 or 20gig+ or whatever on the first partition.... the format the rest for linux [05:04] any ideas? [05:04] So what if I created the Eeebuntu partition at the end of the drive instead of the beginning, keeping unallocated space at the beginning? [05:04] chetnick, if you have an unsupported broadcom chipset, b43 only supports a handful, you won't get much functionality [05:04] EMABrad: sure. it doesn't matter, Windows will wipe out the boot manager anyways [05:04] igie: I dont use kde so I'm not going to talk about a desktop I dont use ... sorry :) [05:05] psycho_oreos: i used it on 9.04... [05:05] archboxman: so i take it kde is what ubuntu uses out of the box ? [05:05] chetnick, pastebin your lspci -nnk output [05:05] i still can't get Ubuntu to boot after instalation [05:05] igie: no just a choice like some many other distro's [05:05] psycho_oreos: what i'm saying is in 9.04 i got to choose between STA nad b43, in 9.10 only STA is available. [05:05] igie: No, default desktop env is GNOME [05:05] kareeser: By "wiping out the boot manager", what exactly do you mean? Am I not going to be able to boot Eeebuntu after I install XP if I'd installed Eeebuntu first? === katie11 is now known as Caitlyn [05:06] chetnick, I'm waiting on your lspci -nnk output in pastebin [05:06] igie: http://distrowatch.com/ [05:06] EMABrad best not to leave a gap if ya follow me...... just format the first partion big enough and of a native file system type e.g. ntfs.... and use the rest for linux and a partition twice the size of ya ram for swap space [05:06] EMABrad: nope... BUT you can fix it. and keep all of your data [05:06] EMABrad: Yeah, though that's fixable through the Ubuntu Live CD [05:06] does anybody know how to skip the graphics detection in GRUB menu [05:06] igie: I have used about 15+ distro's there all different.. [05:06] EMABrad: see this article: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [05:07] archboxman: according to NewWorld: i'm running gnome, because i didn't change the desktop environment :s [05:07] psycho_oreos: http://pastebin.com/m6291ed0d [05:07] igie: Ubuntu uses GNOME. KUbuntu KDE, XUbuntu XFCE [05:07] Can someone confirm that the find | cpio command on this page is accurate: http://tinyurl.com/ybhwogg ? Specifically, should it be executed as root? Would an alternative like unison or rsync be a better choice. I'd like to preserve ^all file attributes^. [05:08] psycho_oreos: or did you need whole output? [05:08] Hey guys how do I setup static net connection? Do I edit /etc/network/interfaces again? [05:08] chetnick, that chipset isn't supported natively with ubuntu yet, you need bleeding edge kernel and the driver is still very much WIP [05:08] chetnick, no that output is fine [05:08] chetnick, wait [05:08] harisund: something wrong with nm-applet? [05:08] * B|aSS is away: Yeah dude, Im Away! [05:08] igie: I would say reinstall,but you need to backup your data in /home folder first :) [05:08] chetnick, misread, [05:08] harisund, are you using NetworkManager? [05:08] psycho_oreos: how come it was supported in 9.04? [05:08] kareeser: I don't use a GUI [05:08] greezmunkey: no [05:08] harisund: ick. [05:08] harisund: not my forte, sorry :) [05:08] kareeser: Thanks, I'll take a look at that. [05:09] How do i view the current UNIX time? [05:09] harisund, edit /etc/network/interfaces... [05:09] chetnick, no that chip should be supported in 9.10, you could probably go through the b43 manual installation, just make sure you blacklist wl and unload it from modules [05:09] greezmunkey: There's no line for eth0 [05:09] NewWorld: ok so i'm running gnome, because i didn't change that at all. but now, no icons appear, i have no internet, and anytime i try to open or mount a disk it freezes and when i shut down it says file manager not responding :s [05:09] igie: if your using a livecd you should be able to burn a copy of /home folder and also copy your bookmarked files in firefox... :) [05:09] ok i cant get Ubunto to boot for anything, ive tryed every way of installing i could think of, which turned out to be, not so much, i have the images of the kernel freeze when booting please help [05:09] iflema: So when XP installs, does it need a partition already made out for it, or can it create a partition out of unallocated space? [05:10] greezmunkey: Once upon a time /etc/network/interfaces used to have auto eth0 followed by "iface eth0 inet dhcp" or something like that. No longer there .. [05:10] psycho_oreos: damn, i have to do it manually, i wonder why is not available any more through restricted drivers. Its only STA there now. [05:10] igie: is this a fresh install? [05:10] NewWorld: wants to troubleshoot the old system.. [05:11] archboxman: who? [05:11] chetnick, it might be a bit of a bug with the restricted drivers I think. there's another variant with that same chipset but it isn't supported in any standard ubuntu kernel, its bcm4312 b/g (14e4:4315) [05:11] harisund, I can paste you an example, or you an google one... [05:11] igie [05:11] NewWorld: nope, its been on there for about a month [05:11] can ayone see me? [05:11] hi i have some problems with multi touch. it works in windows 7 but it wont work in ubuntu [05:11] yes Lu [05:11] NewWorld: igie wants to troubleshoot old system .. [05:11] ok i cant get Ubunto to boot for anything, ive tryed every way of installing i could think of, which turned out to be, not so much, i have the images of the kernel freeze when booting please help [05:11] archboxman: i'm trying to avoid a fresh install :( [05:11] any ideas its for a dell studio xps 16 [05:11] igie: So when it boots up what do you see? [05:11] Luke_, your typing anyway... [05:12] so what [05:12] i need help! [05:12] psycho_oreos: yeah, i know that people had problems with it .... not me though. I'll figure something out. Thanks. [05:12] greezmunkey: Most places online say there will be a line in /etc/network/interfaces that says "auto eth0 ; iface eth0 inet dhcp" .. but /etc/network/interfaces on 9.10 doesn't have that line at all. Where does Ubuntu know to setup DHCP for eth0 on boot? I am guessing there's something with Upstart, and no instructions are there on the web for 9.10 (only 9.04 and prior) [05:12] chetnick, and that other variant is causing bit of confusion when a more complete output would have rendered b43 to be visible [05:12] NewWorld: it boots up no problem [05:12] EMABrad: you can use unpartitioned space [05:12] I have a regular old Logitech Quickcam, apparently perfectly supported in Ubuntu. I'm running Karmic. I have tried this on two separate machines now, one 32-bit and one 64-bit. I have tried this with both aMSN and emesene. When I try to cam with a contact, neither of us can see each other's feeds at all. I know my cam works fine because I can run it in Cheese. What gives? Why is Ubuntu refusing to let me cam? [05:12] igie: Boots up to what? Login screen? [05:12] NewWorld: yes [05:12] igie: And then the desktop loads and everything except icons? [05:13] anyone knows if karmic will be upgraded to kernel ver. 2.6.32? [05:13] harisund, give me a minute and I'll paste you an example with comments... [05:13] is ther multi-touch in ubuntu??!?!? never heard of it.. :) [05:13] greezmunkey: Thanks man, but please make sure it is 9.10 compatible [05:13] i have decided to take back my $600 laptop to "bestbuy" but if i could get Ubuntu working there would be no need for that [05:13] Luke_: Did you make your boot order boot from CD first? [05:13] NewWorld: no icons and I can't mount any drives, and some of my google gadgets are missing and some of my screenlets too.. and no internet [05:13] I want to install ubuntu to take up my entire drive, however i want to import the data from my current ubuntu installation (which is corrupt in the boot) yet ubuntu's installer wont let me. is there a workaround for this? [05:13] kareeser: The Eeebuntu installer won't let me create an NTFS partition. Should I just leave it be, then create it after everything has installed with GParted? [05:14] adifire, i have found sites that say yes [05:14] igie: Can you mount through terminal? have you tried? [05:14] yes i have succesfully installed ubuntu but i cant get it to boot [05:14] Luke_: Does GRUB load w hen you power on? [05:14] harisund, no worries :) [05:14] after instalation [05:14] yes [05:14] NewWorld: i've tried and it opens the folder, but then once i click in that folder it freezes and crashes [05:15] igie: Shall we try to boot in the terminal? that way it will display the error messages and we can know what the problem is. [05:15] maybe there is something wrong with your nautilus? [05:15] CkhiKuzad, what do you mean with "which is corrupt in the boot"? [05:15] Luke_: When you select to boot Ubuntu in GRUB what happens? [05:15] try recovery mode [05:15] geirha: hello [05:15] sorry, i was typing fast pepee. it means the /boot/ directory is GONE [05:15] geirha: hello [05:15] NewWorld: sure, but i'm on a livecd, so i will have to try that and then come back... will you be here? [05:16] it goes into the kernel boot like normal; then gets hung around three secinds into the boot [05:16] will rsync -axS be recursive? [05:16] igie: Yeah but will you be able to do that yourself? Don't you have another computer? [05:16] CkhiKuzad, you ca reinstall grub from a live cd [05:16] harisund, look here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/380153 [05:16] *can [05:17] Luke_: What ouput message does it stop at? Or is it just the loadingn progress bar? [05:17] theadmin, not sure if someone gave you an answer to your Unix Time question but it's "date +%s" [05:17] NewWorld: I do, but its accross the room... I will go log in to this chat from there. [05:17] psycho_oreos: to blacklist wl i just add it to /etc/modeprobe.d/blacklist.conf ? [05:17] pepee. no i cant. i've tried everything, and it wont work. i've given up [05:17] huh... [05:17] igie: Yeah do that :) [05:17] it worked that time... [05:17] weird [05:17] CkhiKuzad, even "grub-install"? [05:17] hang on and ill tell you.. [05:17] even "grub-install" [05:17] harisund, for the static interface you need: netmask 255.255.255.0 or whatever === aiwata55_ is now known as aiwata55 === stephen is now known as Guest9227 [05:17] Thanks greezmunkey I will check it out [05:17] chetnick, yes and also make sure to remove wl from kernel modules (modprobe -r) prior to inserting b43 [05:17] NewWorld: P.S. while I do that, you can get more info on my troubles at this post in the forums.. I found someone else with a similar issue... === Guest9227 is now known as YankDownUnder [05:18] the boot directory is completely corrupt, i cant repair this no matter what [05:18] NewWorld: i'm the poster: Zidaps... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1406033 [05:18] psycho_oreos: ok, thanks. [05:18] but i've 15 gigs that i want to keep, yet reinstall ubuntu [05:18] ZykoticK9: Wow thanks... one more thing, i suppose "date" is in "coreutils"? [05:18] chetnick, make sure there's firmware ready for b43 [05:18] i wish i could just get this damn vmlinuz. and linux-image, thing working [05:18] CkhiKuzad: Have you tried this tut: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 <<< it worked for me many times [05:19] theadmin, sorry no idea [05:19] CkhiKuzad, i think the best you can do is reinstall grub [05:19] god *facepalms* [05:19] the grub directory is still there [05:19] CkhiKuzad, are you sure your linux partition is OK? [05:19] Anyone familiar with Songbird? [05:19] its the linux images that are gone [05:19] Ah, yes, yes it is. Good. [05:19] YankDownUnder, using it right now [05:20] CkhiKuzad, just copy them from the cd... [05:20] everything but /boot/ is fine [05:20] CkhiKuzad: When you boot does GRUB load? [05:20] where do things in crontab -e log to? [05:20] pepee, the cd has one file, for booting the cd [05:20] ZykoticK9, Any secrets for getting it to properly view an ipod? (Got it originally from getdeb) [05:20] hi [05:20] it loads as the primary bootloader, from debian. [05:21] but not the ubuntu one [05:21] CkhiKuzad, yep, and after booting linux with that files, you can simply reinsxtall linu [05:21] YankDownUnder, sorry man I don't have an iPod and have never tried to tie in any players, just use it as my Music player that's all -- sorry. Best of luck. [05:21] CkhiKuzad: Can't you mount the partition from Debian and copy the files from there? [05:21] *reinstall linux [05:21] the partition is 1.4 gigabytes [05:21] NewWorld: I'm here. This is igie. [05:21] and i've 15 gigs to import [05:21] Hey Pira [05:21] ZykoticK9, :) -> yeah - it's been a trip to say the least mate - love it, but it just ain't seein the doggone ipod - and the missus ain't happy about that! [05:22] NewWorld: Ok, so how do i restart in terminal? [05:22] i just need to know if there is a way to make ubuntu allow me to import my data while formating the entire thing. [05:22] psycho_oreos: yeah, when you install b43-fwcutter it extracts the firmware with it. [05:22] javatexan, you should find (them) in /var/log/cron [05:22] YankDownUnder: In terminal type 'fdisk -l' and see if you can see the ipod there? [05:22] Pira: 'sudo reboot' [05:23] NewWorld, just an FYI - but you have to use "sudo fdisk -l" to see anything listed... Yank is gone though... [05:23] chetnick, ok, was assuming you weren't following guides, my bad :) [05:23] ZykoticK9: Yeah in my current distro that's true, but I remember doing it in hardy without sudo and worked just fine :S [05:23] harisund, if you make the appropriate entries in your /etc/network/interfaces file be sure to restart networking: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [05:24] * CkhiKuzad takes a nap until he gets some help with what he said [05:25] greezmunkey: that I do .. but here's my question. In the current /etc/network/interfaces file, there's no entry for eth0. But still, eth0 automatically starts with DHCP on boot. When there's no entry how does Ubuntu know ? [05:25] CkhiKuzad: I asked you if you can mount it from within Debian and axx the files that way. [05:25] NewWorld: sudo reboot brought me right back into the log in page. [05:25] I've tried and tried and tried and searched and googled and tried for hours and I still can't get my head around copy files to a floppy disk - nothing I do is working. I can't make any sense out of DD. I've found countless howtos about making disk images and mounting images and using DD to transfer images to a physical floppy, but none of it is working. I need an easy to follow, step by step instructions.... [05:25] psycho_oreos: thanks :-) [05:25] Pira: Reboot restarts the computer, so didn't it restart? [05:25] newworld, i cant do that! i only have 1.4 gigs left on the debian drive, and 15 gigs of files to import [05:26] harisund, you said you have no gui, are you running server? [05:26] thats like writing an ubuntu ISO to a floppy. [05:26] I just want to copy some files to a floppy, surely it can't be as impossible as it seems? [05:26] CkhiKuzad: Don't you have any external storage devices? [05:26] NewWorld: yes it restarted, but the issue of no icons and no internet and crashing file manager still persists :( [05:26] greezmunkey: yeah why? (but I think NM might be installed, since I did a apt-get install ubuntu-desktop later but only login remotely really) [05:26] a 2 gigabyte flash drive, and a 2 gig SD card [05:26] and ubuntu one [05:26] but that doesnt count [05:26] CkhiKuzad, do you know what means "mount"? [05:27] Pira: Lol okay hmmmm which problem to start on first lemme think [05:27] yes i know what mount means, i've been using debian and ubuntu since 2007 [05:27] hello,all [05:28] psycho_oreos: wow, it worked... Cant believe it went so smooth. Thanks for help. [05:28] debian wont partition this fully, ubuntu 7.04 wont, ubuntu 8.10 wont, ubuntu 9.04 wont. i cant do anything [05:28] harisund, you can check with ps -ef | grep Network [05:28] ironically, if I'd spent 2 hours installing windows onto a machine, I'd have the files on a disk by now :( ..but no - stupid me thought it would be quicker to do it in ubuntu. I had no idea it was so frigging difficult to do something as simple as copy files to a disk :( [05:28] chetnick, nw [05:29] Pira: Okay the file manager first. Open up a terminal and type in 'gksudo nautilus', with the file manager make it crash like you did before. Then press Ctrl+Alt+1 and see if you can see the terminal screen. [05:29] CkhiKuzad, well, I'm not understanding what your problem is... [05:29] pepee, let me make it clear. [05:29] CkhiKuzad: Please lol. I am confused. [05:29] hmmm question on keybindings. i have the usual ctrl-shift-arrows for switching desktops, checked it in the settings. so what could be conflicting and making that not work? [05:29] Pira: Sorry, Ctrl+Alt+F1 [05:30] I have a regular old Logitech Quickcam, apparently perfectly supported in Ubuntu. I'm running Karmic. I have tried this on two separate machines now, one 32-bit and one 64-bit. I have tried this with both aMSN and emesene. When I try to cam with a contact, neither of us can see each other's feeds at all. I know my cam works fine because I can run it in Cheese. What gives? Why is Ubuntu refusing to let me cam? [05:30] militant: Alt+F2 > type in 'gconf-editor' > Try and search for that shortcut to see if it's assigned to anythingn else. [05:30] Ziggyzxxyl, your premature rage indicates a pebkac scenario. [05:30] I want to reinstall ubuntu. my current version's boot directory is corrupt. i've no way to partition it fully. when i try to do a full format and install, it says nothing can be imported. i want my 15 gigs of files imported. [05:31] What timezone is http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/current/ set to? UTC hopefully? [05:31] pebkac is my middle name [05:31] CkhiKuzad, herein lies the lesson that you don't put /home on the same partition as / or /swap or /proc [05:31] NewWorld: ctrl+alt+F1 and its asking me to log in from a screen that went all termional [05:31] CkhiKuzad, to reinstall ubunyu you can simply copy/paste the files... [05:31] NewWorld: no more gui. only terminal [05:31] please, explain: is ubuntu in the same hdd as debian? [05:31] NewWorld: good thought. but a search for yields nothing and i don't know how to escape within the search box or whatever else is needed [05:31] no it is not pepee [05:32] ahh ok [05:32] CkhiKuzad, and where is it...? [05:32] Pira: thats the 'console' :) === jeremy is now known as Guest34716 [05:32] and pepee these caps are for emphasis and not shouting: I NEED TO FORMAT AND INSTALL. I CAN NOT COPY AND PASTE FILES THAT NO LONGER EXIST AFTER A FORMAT. [05:33] Pira: Perfect, login as root. Then execute 'ps -e | grep nautilus'. Note the PID (Process ID) on the left. Then 'kill [the process ID here with no brackets]'. And then Ctrl+Alt+F7 to see if the system unfroze. [05:33] I can get kfloppy to format a floppy, but that is all... can ANYONE explain how I get a file onto the floppy? === Guest34716 is now known as jermz [05:34] militant: You said you use Ctrl+Shift, but then you search for Ctrl+Alt? [05:34] hi [05:34] boring [05:34] CkhiKuzad, ok. I think you have to copy your config files by hand [05:34] there are trillions of config files, which are you talking about, pepee? [05:34] NewWorld: if i said ctrl-shift i was mistyping. ctrl-alt-arrows have been the defaults forever i know, and it's hwat i use. was fooling around in compiz-settings-manager or whatever and the shortcut stopped working [05:35] CkhiKuzad, system config files? browser configs? ...? [05:35] militant: Maybe search just for 'left' or for 'right'? [05:36] NewWorld: yes the system unfroze but thats because nautilus closed. now my background wallpaper is gone too.. lol [05:36] CkhiKuzad: Why can't you partition it? [05:36] it freezes up or just stops bothering NewWorld [05:36] Pira: Great, what does it say in the terminal? Remember we did 'gksu nautilus'? [05:36] CkhiKuzad: Is that Gparted on the ubuntu Live CD? [05:37] pepee. its not the configurations i need to keep. i can reset those in 10 minutes. the files, images from school, mp3s, movies, stuff like that [05:37] you can install gparted once you boot the live cd [05:37] NewWorld: doesn't say a thing besides "gksudo nautilus" [05:37] CkhiKuzad, ahh [05:37] Pira, i think its supposed to be gksu [05:37] is there any reliable, automatic way to rename a user account? [05:37] CkhiKuzad: I don't think there's a difference, both do same thing. [05:38] so a configuration for making firefox have pipelining is the same as a picture of my girlfriend at the homecoming dance? [05:38] CkhlKuzad: it worked both ways the same way :s [05:38] CkhiKuzad, gksu & gksudo are the same thing as far as I am aware. [05:38] teratorn: i recall some guides/scripts on how to do that. but i normally make a new acount and move the files over by hand [05:38] CkhiKuzad: Is that Gparted on the ubuntu Live CD? [05:38] yes it is [05:39] NewWorld: yes [05:39] Dr_Willis: yeah... I'm not sure how to move my encrypted home dir over... maybe it's not hard [05:39] Should I be using vmbuild or ubuntu-vm-builder to create VM instances? I'm on 9.10 server. So confused by the state of virtualization in Ubuntu... [05:39] and i noticed the error in what i said, newworld. you meant gksudo and gksu, not configurations and files [05:39] CkhiKuzad: You should try another partition program like cfdisk, or a Windows solution. [05:40] NewWorld, i dont have windows on this system at all [05:40] hmm trying to add a printer and I get the "client-error-not-possible". The bug report says that I need a new version of foomatic-filters, 3.0 to be exact, but the best I can seem to get with package manager is 2.2 [05:40] NewWorld: ok, i found 2 duplicate keybindings for differnet functions, on both left and right. cleared those. do i need to log out and back in [05:40] CkhiKuzad: It could be that your hardrive is physically impaired. I had that and it was horrible.. you should run a surface test to see if it is physically defected. [05:40] i've turned on all update sources, etc, but I cannotseem to get 3.0 [05:40] any ideas? [05:40] Pira: I haven't left you, just thinking what to do next. [05:40] CkhiKuzad, maybe the mbr is corrupted [05:40] NewWorld. its not my hard drive, i deleted the directory once by accident. [05:40] militant: No, it should save right there and then. [05:41] hmmm. something's still conflicting then [05:41] NewWorld: i realise other people have issues as well. Your only one person. Do your best ;) [05:41] CkhiKuzad, you can run fsck too [05:41] Anyone know, with gconf-editor in 9.10, where did the item [system]$B!d(B[storage]$B!d(B[default_options]$B!d(B[ntfs-3g] go? [05:41] mod: The repositories are outdated... you will have to compile the package from source and it might not be so easy. [05:41] hey guys, know of an easy way to connect to an ubuntu computer over wan? [05:41] w3rd_: Graphically or CLI? [05:41] ssh [05:42] graphically [05:42] i hate partitioning to be honest. a tedious 2 hours of a progress bar not showing you the detail of how far you are, just going back and forth [05:42] i've broken an LCD monitor from it once. [05:42] hello i am having problems with ubu ppc , the only way i can boot the cd is if i use "live-nospash-powerpc" comand but gets me to a funny looking desktop [05:42] well aware of ssh... was hoping there was a way to view the screen [05:42] CkhiKuzad: Talk about it, I resized my parititon yesterday, corrupted.. lost so much stuff :'( [05:42] anyone else running on a samsung N130 ? [05:42] Hey everyone, I'm trying to change /etc/profile so that I can add the java PATH variable and I can't figure out how to do it. I opened it in Kate, but don't have permission to save it. Any suggestions? [05:42] NewWorld,thanks bleh. [05:42] RDP [05:43] mod: Did it work? :S [05:43] Any good GTK+ guitar tabbing software/ [05:43] *software? [05:43] chetnick: thats ubuntu for you :) lol progress bar world [05:43] yes [05:43] ewWorld, did hat work? [05:43] what [05:43] cody__, kdesudo kate /etc/profile [05:43] how do I purge all instances of a process from terminal? [05:43] mod: The shortcut? [05:43] w3rd_, use vnc through ssh tunnel [05:43] i DONT want to partition. i will repeat that in bolded caps: I DO NOT WANT TO PARTITION, I WANT TO DO A FULL FORMAT, BUT IMPORT EVERYTHING BEFORE IT FORMATS. [05:43] Trek: I think 'killall' but look at man page [05:43] Thank you, I'll try that [05:43] anybody with ubuntu ppc exp. ?? [05:44] got a link? [05:44] w3rd_, or you can use hamachi and then vnc through that virtual lan [05:44] Anyone? [05:44] Which shortcut would that be? [05:44] CkhiKuzad: Can't. Get external storage or free up space on the Debian partition. [05:44] CkhiKuzad: illogical [05:44] ckhiKuzad: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/PNY+-+8GB+USB+2.0+Flash+Drive+-+Blue/Black/8452854.p?id=1183767792509&skuId=8452854 get two, save yourself some anger and frustration [05:44] Oh my bad sorry mod, I confused you for someone else. [05:44] Blue1: Got spoke ears...... lol [05:44] Ziggyzxxyl, did you get your floppy to be useable? [05:44] !crontab [05:44] !tuxguitar | MindVirus [05:44] cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm [05:45] omg ubuntu [05:45] iconmefisto: Tuxguitar is pretty crappy. [05:45] NewWorld, np heh [05:45] w3rd_: ssh -C -X user@target -L 5900:localhost:5910 - then run vncviewer locally to connect to port 5910 [05:45] w3rd_, you know how to setup a ssh tunnel ? [05:45] Pira: Make it crash again, then switch to terminal with CtrlAltF1 and type 'dmesg | tail' [05:45] forget it. i will figure it out on my own. all you are seeming to tell me is that i need to buy something or free up 15 gigabytes on a 10 gigabyte disk, or partition a drive with partitioning tools that DO NOT WORK === rainofkayos is now known as SolarisBoy [05:46] CkhiKuzad, you have 2 disks, and you want to recover all of the data from one of them, and you can't run ubuntu from that disk. is that? [05:46] NewWorld: interestingly, it's set to give me 2 desktops, but i can't even click into the 2nd one... did i turn something off somehow? [05:46] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1347098 [05:46] CkhiKuzad: Use different partitioning tools. [05:46] greezmunkey: no, but I may have worked it out - if I run xp in virtual box, I can access the floppy. So I might be able to write the files to the floppy from within virutalbox running xp... [05:46] newworld [05:46] linux only partitioning tools please. [05:46] w3rd_, first step is that you need the remote machines router IP or domain name setup via something like dyndns, then you use geekualizers step above, then you follow : http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/06/12/vnc-over-ssh-securing-the-remote-desktop/ [05:46] i cant use windows [05:46] Ziggyzxxyl, check the post right above you :) [05:46] CkhiKuzad, cfdisk [05:47] CkhiKuzad: You don't need windows, these programs are booted into. Check 'Hiren's BootCD' for example. [05:47] NewWorld: way too many things came up for me to type them all out [05:47] Pira: Any ones that seem relevant? [05:47] NewWorld: what am I looking for? [05:47] Pira: Errors haha [05:47] w3rd_, or you can skip the whole separate ssh setup routine and use freenx instead [05:47] NewWorld: not really. [05:48] w3rd_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX [05:48] Pira: What's the last message? Doesn't' have to be verbatim, just keywords. [05:48] i'm going to my aunt's house this sunday. she will be able to partition the drive, she owns a computer repair store. [05:48] I give up... [05:48] Any guitar tabbing software that doesn't suck? [05:48] NewWorld: no ipv6 routers, forcedeth for MSI [05:49] thanks for your help, i wish it would have helped in the way i hoped it would [05:49] NewWorld,. things like that [05:49] its fun to use virtualboxc to practice partioning drives :) [05:49] Dr_Willis, it helped me to copy windows to another machine.... [05:49] vbox FTW ;) [05:49] Pira: weren't you in here last week sometime and came to the conclusion as igie you could find problems in your dmesg?????? [05:49] NewWorld: one warning about dhcpd3 using 32-bit something or other [05:50] Pira: Those are just network-related messages, nothing relevant :( [05:50] Pira: Does everything freeze and become grey and you can't move the mosue? [05:50] militant: Change setting to have 4 workspaces? Then try to switch between them to see if works? [05:51] archboxman: nope, must have been a different igie ;) this problem started tonight after i screwed around with winbind and samba trying to share files... [05:51] NewWorld: yup, freezes and greys out [05:51] Pira: Mouse? [05:51] NewWorld: i solved it digging around in compiz. been fiddling with it too much. thanks for the help [05:51] cursor [05:51] Pira: stop both services.. [05:51] militant: yw :) [05:51] NewWorld:im at GRUB it will just be a seond [05:52] NewWorld: mouse shows its busy, with that clock thing, but it still moves where i point it [05:52] trying to copy the files to the floppy in XP under virtualbox failed... but at least the drive light came on and it made noises as if it was copying.... looking at your link now greezmunkey .... [05:52] Pira: archboxman has a good idea. Kill nautilus from terminal like before. Then use System Monitor or similar to kill all optional processes. [05:53] Ziggyzxxyl, you will have to interface with it from the command line, sorry :) [05:53] haha [05:53] hi guys [05:54] Problem, tm512 ? [05:54] Pira: that is important information you should have told us about earlier :) [05:54] whts the dif between ubuntu and ubuntu remix ? [05:54] NewWorld: archboxman: i removed samba and winbind from /etc/init.d because they were screwing up my reboot, sticking and freezing... so those definitely aren't running [05:54] i have a 3com ethernet 3c589d pc card and im trying to get it working under ubuntu server [05:55] need some help with ubuntu for ppc [05:55] the laptop in question has a busted screen [05:55] hal9k20101: and the specific question is? [05:55] Pira: uninstall or move to background services??? [05:55] and i cnt have it on a screen and the internet at the same time [05:55] oNewWorld: ok i reinstalled Ubuntu and it booted into a runlevel three command promt and i logged startx, and now i cant do anything my mouse wont move and the keyboad wont work [05:55] Pira: That sticking and freezing in addition to your current problems? Or was everything else working fine? [05:55] how do i get it working? [05:55] stevebuntu: netbook-remix has a slightly different frontend for working with smaller screens as found on netbooks.. see http://www.canonical.com/projects/ubuntu/unr [05:56] under ifconfig it isnt listed [05:56] after boot using "live-nosplash-powerpc" got to a desktop with flushed color [05:56] Luke_: Looks like you will have to edit xorg.conf can you locate it?

[05:57] yes many times [05:57] stevebuntu: I see no reason why it shouldn't work under UNR [05:57] LINUXHELPNEEDED: make a new user see if it works for them [05:57] Pira: Do you want to uninstall winbind?

[06:00] stevebuntu: python [06:00] stevebuntu: python [06:00] stevebuntu, I like c++, but then I dont know too many. [06:00] Yup I heard python is a great first language. [06:00] LINUXHELPNEEDED, or an easier way is that if you have your applications/places/system menu in the panel up top, just select a place from the places menu [06:00] stevebuntu: APL. it will drive you back to your previous career choice.

[06:05] its not showing up [06:05] once in the terminal? [06:05] the cardbus adapter is [06:05] djveer, so make some space for ubuntu on your hard drive and create a dual boot, download the 64 bit ISO [06:05] Im not sure, you will have to ask the guy who was helping you earlier. [06:05] LINUXHELPNEEDED: 'killall nautilus' [06:05] and how do I get back to the desktop afterwards? [06:05] LINUXHELPNEEDED, it was something like alt-ctrl-f1 , log in, killall nautilus && nautilus [06:05] alt-ctrl-F7 [06:05] NewWorld, but my problem of sharing ... well thats how i got into this mess in the first place... I still can't share without samba and winbind :s [06:05] mezquitale: yeah I may do that.. thanks :) [06:05] LINUXHELPNEEDED: Ctrl+Alt+F7 gets you back into X [06:06] LINUXHELPNEEDED: alt+f2 and type "killall nautilus && nautilus" (no quotes) in the input box [06:06] Newky, knoppies thanks for the heads up, once tm512 has his equipment ready to troubleshoot hell start ask questions again [06:06] NewWorld: i guess i will try to re-install them and see if they work this time round. [06:06] hannah_irina, and your question is? [06:06] igie: misconfiguration of samba has it loopback pakets to 127.0.0.1 [06:06] Ziggyzxxyl, add: /copeme : to the end of your command, or /. [06:06] LINUXHELPNEEDED: or just log out and back in [06:06] i have no clue how to set up this ethernet card [06:06] thats my problem [06:06] mezquitale, k. I appreciate the help. [06:06] NewWorld: ok i had to reboot laptop now im stuck in the kernel [06:06] NOT ssh [06:06] tm512: who makes the chipset? [06:06] Ziggyzxxyl, you need to supply a filename :) [06:06] djveer, what 64 ubuntu flavor youre thinking about? most 64 bit ubuntu flavors you can try booting up into it first to see if you like it or not [06:06] its 3com [06:06] Luke_: What you mean stuck in the kernel? :/ [06:06] okay thanks [06:06] no clue [06:06] mnemonikk, i just logged out and back in then i lost a four million dollar game on the internet... THANKS! [06:07] doesnt show up in lspci [06:07] archboxman: i have no idea what that mean :P whats a loopback packet ? [06:07] mnemonikk, here in lies the lesson of help desk : less destructive help directions are preferred first [06:07] tm512: then the internal ethernet is not physically connected. lspci will gladly show devices for which there is no driver. [06:07] NewWorld: archboxman: thank you guys for helping me try to solve this issue :) [06:07] i mean jesus christ this card works with Mac OS 8.6 [06:07] greezmunkey: I already thought of that - that fails too - "cp: cannot create regular file `/media/floppy/filename.ext': Read-only file system" [06:07] okay tried that and it said no process! [06:08] mezquitale: eval copy of Red hat ES 64-bit [06:08] tm512, is it internal or external ethernet card? what machine do you have? name and model please [06:08] igie: it tests the nic card.... anyways not important ... you know now how to kill the process if problems [06:08] igie: :D I love fixing things [06:08] i already said [06:08] external [06:08] LINUXHELPNEEDED, because it is not running [06:08] cool its always the most difficult step to figure out where to start [06:08] pcmcia [06:08] this is hopeless. [06:08] how do I get it to run? [06:08] compaq armada 1750 === ubuntu is now known as jacquesdptd_hp [06:08] LINUXHELPNEEDED, 1) alt+ctrl+f2 2) login 3) killall nautilus && nautilus [06:08] djveer, this is ubuntu support, i can walk you through the steps that help you get your system ready but afterwards youre on your own [06:08] Ziggyzxxyl: How did you mount the floppy? [06:08] tm512: it might require some kind of firmware injection that is handled by the driver for Mac OS [06:08] thats why i like mono there are projects you cna "reverse engeneer" so to speak [06:08] LINUXHELPNEEDED, or an easier way is that if you have your applications/places/system menu in the panel up top, just select a place from the places menu [06:09] Ziggyzxxyl, good point, you are probably mounted readonly...let me check something. [06:09] 3com etherlink 3c589d [06:09] NewWorld: sudo mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /media/floppy [06:09] brb [06:09] mezquitale: it's okay I should be able to handle doing the dual-boot but thanks :) and I appreciate your advice greatly [06:09] yes that obviously works but that doesnt fix the problem with the no bar showing up if I right click on the desktop [06:09] LINUXHELPNEEDED: just type 'nautilus' if doesn't work t hen 'gksudo nautilus' [06:10] LINUXHELPNEEDED: Does right clicking on other things work? [06:10] yep [06:10] NewWorld, why would you run nautilus as root to solve this issue, it makes no sense ? [06:10] Ziggyzxxyl, add -o rw, maybe it can help [06:10] Ziggyzxxyl, yeah add rw to the -t and try again [06:10] tm512, youre going to have a good time trying to figure that one out them, sorry i wont be much help with your pcmcia card, keep asking again, this time mention your pcmcia manufactuer and model, if i find something in the forum ill let you know [06:10] NewWorld: I think someone needs to update ubutto to add state your problem and what was the last thing you were installing or playing with when system crashed... [06:10] airtonix: It doesn't affect anything, so doesn't matter which. [06:11] NewWorld, i beg to differ [06:11] tm512: try "modprobe 3c589_cs" [06:11] greezmunkey: sudo mount -trw msdos /dev/fd0 /media/floppy ? or -t -rw? [06:11] Ziggyzxxyl, '-t rw' [06:11] Ziggyzxxyl, or -o uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=000 [06:12] NewWorld yes if I right click on something else it works [06:12] NewWorld, example, while you were typing out your next reply PersonRequetingHelpThatYouSuggestedtoRunNautilusAsRoot just decided to find out what happens when they delete the /var folder.... [06:12] Ziggyzxxyl, it's probably mounted as root, and will not let you create files there, mine did. I'll try sudo to copy a file there... [06:12] NewWorld, so now you have another issue clouding the previous problem (that you won't be aware of immediatly) [06:13] NewWorld, less destructive help directions first. [06:13] airtonix: They were first, I said _if it doesn't work_ run as root. [06:13] LINUXHELPNEEDED: are you using Compiz? [06:13] Ziggyzxxyl, that was exactly it! So, now to figure out how to mount as my user... [06:13] greezmunkey: I have been using sudo to try and cp the files there - it says read only... I can't get the "rw" into the command, it isn't accepting it after -t rw [06:13] NewWorld, its not even needed... [06:13] Mneptok yes! [06:14] airtonix: Fair enough, [06:14] LINUXHELPNEEDED: disable it [06:14] got to go have fun :) boys,boys,boys [06:14] Ziggyzxxyl mount -rwt msdos /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 (is what I did) [06:14] Mneptok Ive disabled it, I still cant right click on desktop! [06:15] LINUXHELPNEEDED: Can you left click on the icons? [06:15] okay screw this [06:15] tm512, the only solutionI found requires you to compile the driver intot he kernel [06:15] greezmunkey, -o uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=000 for mounting as your user [06:15] Ziggyzxxyl, the good thing here is that once you know exactly how to mount and unmount, you can create scripts to do this much more simply. [06:15] tm512: try "sudo modprobe 3c589_cs" [06:15] pepee, cool I'll try it :) [06:15] tm512, have you tried booting up to your laptop with the pcmcia plugged in? [06:15] mezquitale: unlikely, as the module is already shipped in compiled form [06:15] yes [06:15] greezmunkey: Script or put into fstab? [06:15] deepfreez@haihui:~$ /etc/init.d/iptables save [06:15] -bash: /etc/init.d/iptables: No such file or directory [06:16] ??? what is the problem [06:16] NewWorld I dont have Icons on desktop neither can I add any to the desktop [06:16] brb [06:16] I am running cairodock [06:16] NewWorld, that's the one! :) [06:16] LINUXHELPNEEDED: Try putting on a CD and if you have auto-mounting on it should show the icon of it at the top left. Any removable devices actually. [06:16] anyone else having an issue with the realtek nic ? [06:16] hannah_irina, obviously : No such file or directory [06:16] hannah_irina, /sbin/iptables [06:17] mneptok, do you know how to compile drivers into the kernel so you can walk tm512 on how to do it? If the modle is already compiled then all you may have to do is install the module and configure it to be used [06:17] LINUXHELPNEEDED: do you have a LiveCD available? [06:17] hannah_irina, sudo /sbin/iptables save [06:17] # Appears as HUGH. [06:17] I tried this with my secondary hdd no it doesnt show the mount on desktop [06:17] mneptok Yes I do! [06:17] but there is no need to add /sbin/ ... [06:17] when i hibernate the wireless card seems to get disconnected then i have to reboot to reconect [06:17] mezquitale: there is not reason to compile it in. it can be dynamically loaded on boot. [06:17] NewWorld: no i cant even get it to boot [06:17] OK, I'm about to do some lost+found recovery. Which of these would be the best for the job? Foremost, MagicRescue, or Sleuthkit? [06:17] peope , airtonix [06:17] deepfreez@haihui:~$ sudo /sbin/iptables save [06:17] Bad argument `save' [06:18] now i cant even get it to boot [06:18] LINUXHELPNEEDED: boot off it and see if the problem may be with your particular configuration. [06:18] Luke_: When you power it on do you see GRUB? [06:18] yes [06:18] Boot into liveCD mode? [06:18] LINUXHELPNEEDED: yes [06:18] stevebuntu, lspci | grep -i wireless, and tell me which card it is [06:18] Luke_: You select to boot Ubuntu and where does the problem occur? [06:18] pepee, i need to save the rules when i restart the linux the rules backup [06:18] I tried that earlier and it works like normal [06:18] hannah_irina, 1) do you know how to use iptables to begin with 2) did you first consult : man iptables 3) stop pasting terminal output over multiple lines [06:18] hannah_irina, man iptables.... [06:18] All I'm looking to do is stick all the files of a type into individual folders. [06:18] LINUXHELPNEEDED: then something about the way your installed system is set up is causing the problem. [06:19] greezmunkey: it did not work. still getting "omitting some blah blah blah crap" when I try to copy the folder or "read only blah blah..." when I try to copy a single file :( [06:19] LINUXHELPNEEDED: Do you think cairo-dock is the problem? [06:19] maybe GDM? [06:19] LINUXHELPNEEDED: restart Nautilus all you want, it won't help. [06:19] nope not working [06:19] Include some like ".ARW", my camera's RAW files [06:19] Ziggyzxxyl: Are you copying as root? [06:19] tm512, do not despair, I suggest you open a thread in the forum, since it's an old card then most likely youll find someone who can help you [06:19] So, any advice? [06:19] NewWorld: yes [06:19] I closed cairo-dock but still the same problem persists so it seems cairo-dock is not the problem [06:19] LINUXHELPNEEDED: create a new account and login to that. see if your Cairodock or other account-specific modifications are causing the problem [06:19] i'll resort to the dock that came with the laptop first [06:20] Okay I will be back :) [06:20] RPG_Master: Nautilus > Ctrl+F > type in .[extension of file]? [06:20] thanks for the help, even though a solution wasnt found [06:20] hannah_irina, you can add the rules to /etc/rc.local [06:20] Hi, I have a hard disk problem under 9.04. Is this the right place to ask? [06:20] but i have to go [06:20] tm512: good luck [06:20] bah [06:20] lol [06:20] Tatzelbrumm: yes [06:20] Tatzelbrumm: I guess so, try [06:20] NewWorld: This is Lost+Found, ie "#12345" for file names :( [06:21] pepee 02:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

You could try that. [06:22] mauhur, apt-cache search plone [06:22] or it stops on eth0 : RTL 8102e at 0xffffc9000020c6000 , 00:owiefjowifh mac adress [06:22] ok, Problem: I used the 9.04 install CD to resize an existing 12GB ext3 partition with 9.04 on it to 78GB. Paritioner quit with error message, but the partition seems to be resized successfully, and I can still boot into the partition. The only issue: The 9.04 on the partition still thinks it has only 12GB. What do I need to do to let the Linux know that it has more space now? [06:22] sorry, but this is utterly hopeless and has been a waste of my time. I don't see I have any choice but to install windows on a machine, copy the files to the floppy from there.. otherwise I am going to be up all night trying to write files to a flippin floppy disk :( [06:22] NewWorld: It knows even if the file doens't include the extension in it's name? [06:22] stevebuntu, that command tell you what your card is [06:22] bhundven: What error mesage do you get when you try to install one of the uninstallable packages? [06:23] NewWorld: the package is unavailable [06:23] RPG_Master: I've never tried it but it seems too, maybe with MIME or smth... worth a try? [06:23] it doesn't show anything ?

[06:24] i just made a new swap partition to the requirements, but how do i set it up for hibernation? [06:24] * bhundven is on lucid [06:24] bhundven: I'm not sure what that error message means. But you can try downloading the package from the repo server directly and then installing with dpkg? [06:24] Ziggyzxxyl, http://www.google.com/search?num=20&hl=en&q=howto+floppy+disk+linux :P [06:24] RPG_Master: It's just querying, cant hurt to search.

Not verbatim, just relevant brief stuff. [06:26] Okay i got into another account and the right clicking function on the desktop worked like normal, but upon entering an error message was displayer it reads: "The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_FastUserSwitchApplet". [06:26] Ziggyzxxyl, it's easy to mount the floppy under linux... [06:26] i just made a new swap partition to the requirements, but how do i set it up for hibernation? [06:26] there is not plone package for ubuntu? the one it has is missing some dependency [06:26] the last line before the drm initalized drm..... is udevd-word{133}: /sbin/mobprobe -b acpi ..... [06:26] mezquitale, I did this alredy and the partition shows as having 78GB now. The partition editor utility in the linux on the (resized) hard disk agrees. [06:27] and now it is in runlevel3 [06:27] Tatzelbrumm: What was the error message? [06:27] Hey, I'm trying to install Mac OSX as a guest OS with VirtualBox, anyone have any experience with that? [06:27] NewWorld: I've been using the same install of debian unstable for a decade and am fairly comfortable using alpha versions of ubuntu. It just annoys me that a package can be released with missing dependencies. [06:27] :( === scott_ is now known as Guest16997 [06:27] Luke_: What version of Ubuntu is this? [06:27] Ubuntunewb: we can't offer assistance with that as it's a copyright violation. Try another network. [06:28] Ubuntunewb, i don't think that's possible. [06:28] NewWorld : I do not recall. anyhow, the partition seems to be fine, the linux ON the partition just didn't get the memo that it has a new size. [06:28] 10.4 just got [06:28] it [06:28] how is it a copyright violation if I own the software? [06:28] Tatzelbrumm, on what partition is 9.04 installed and what mount point did you give it? what does df tell you about the partition? [06:28] !lucid | Luke_ [06:28] Luke_: 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 [06:28] steveness, are you using ndiswrapper? [06:28] Ubuntunewb: yes, if you're isntalling it on non-apple hardware [06:28] pepee, i have no clue [06:28] sorry Karmic Koala [06:28] pepee do u mean me ? [06:29] mezquitale: /dev/sda3 [06:29] ohh sorry.... [06:29] Luke_: :/ 64bit 32? [06:29] Ubuntunewb: Mac OS X is licensed only for installation on Apple hardware. [06:29] stevebuntu, yep [06:29] 64 [06:29] ni i am not using the wrapper [06:29] mezquitale: mounts to / [06:29] no [06:29] CPU is compatible! [06:29] Ubuntunewb: with apple they claim you basically have only the rights they give you. [06:29] im trying to get away from windowz :) [06:30] Tatzelbrumm, you know how to use paste bin? [06:30] and now its in x ALL BY ITS SELF [06:30] mezquitale: $ df [06:30] Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on [06:30] /dev/sda3 12096380 11751012 99576 100% / [06:30] but nothing works [06:30] Luke_: Wait lolwut.. it's in X now?! [06:30] pepee: I've done that, I've been doing that for the past 8 hours and nothing has worked. I currently have a machine installing xp so my problem will be solved in about 1 or 2 hours.. I should have done this in the first place. mounting floppies in linux, I have discovered in impossible. [06:30] Ubuntunewb: the only way I've been able to virtualize mac os x, is using parallels or vmware fusion on mac os x. [06:30] UBUNTUS [06:30] Okay i got into another account and the right clicking function on the desktop worked like normal, but upon entering an error message was displayer it reads: "The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_FastUserSwitchApplet". [06:30] Luke_: I thought you said it wouldn't boot.... [06:30] yes [06:30] mezquitale: I don't know what paste bin is ... can you walk me through? [06:30] !paste [06:30] is* [06:30] Luke_: So what do yousee? [06:31] !pastebin [06:31] i just made a new swap partition to the requirements, but how do i set it up for hibernation?

Its shouldent be criti8cal [06:31] UT '99 - settings from GUI not saving, tried with gksudo still not saving -- manually configured .ini file for resolution but having trouble setting w-a-s-d as movement keys.

[06:31] steveness: if its in the fstab file it should use it - i belive [06:31] stevebuntu, have you tryed reloading the driver of your card? [06:31] Tatzelbrumm: http://www.pastebin.com ... it should be pretty obvious. [06:31] sometimes it boot gets stuck, sometimes it gets to white ubuntu symble and sometimes like right now im at the login screen but nothing works! [06:31] okay cool but what about my desktop right clicking problem, can anyone point me in the right direction? [06:31] several times it took 2 instals just to get it working [06:31] ZykoticK9: Make sure the files have write permissions. [06:32] it works in another account [06:32] but this one ... nope [06:32] Luke_: Switch to a terminal > Alt+CtrlF1 [06:32] LINUXHELPNEEDED: it works with 1 user not the other.. thus the problem user has a config issue/conflict. I would reset all he problem users settings [06:32] I can mount floppy disks and format floppy disks but there is no way I can copy anything to them in linux. [06:32] Dr_Willis, .how do i know if it is [06:32] ok, pastebin up&running, now what? [06:32] Tatzelbrumm, basically we ask you to run a command in your machine and you post the output in http:/paste.buntu.com, then you post the link on the channel so that we can see the output of the command, this is so that share with us multiple lines, if you attempt to paste multiple lines in the channel you will get kicked [06:32] didn't accept! [06:32] Ah... it appears its illegal to run it in a Virtual machine on anything but Leapard's server eddition, but that too needs to be on apple hardware... http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/11/01/apple_allows_leopard_virtualization/ [06:32] steveness: look in fstab file for a swap entry. if not add one. [06:32] well bullocks! [06:32] Dr_willis how would I go about resetting these settings? [06:32] LINUXHELPNEEDED: You could replace the nautilus configuration files with the default ones created in the new user account. [06:32] Dr_Willis, where is the fstab file [06:32] NewWorld, they are located in /usr/local/games so user does not have write permission (but the root thing didn't work either) [06:33] having problem putting ubuntu on my P4. It has an old bios and I think it needs an EFI Partition to use the extended settings to be able to tweak it and install ubuntu. My questions is how do I create an EFI partition? [06:33] Luke_: Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to kill X [06:33] LINUXHELPNEEDED: they are various config files in your users home dir .gnome* .gtk* and stuff in .config - I often clean them all out. Some i do wantt o keep [06:33] Tatzelbrumm, what is the output of "sudo fdisk -l" [06:33] Ziggyzxxyl, sudo mount -o gid=1000,uid=1000 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy ?? [06:33] didnt work either [06:33] i read the the new kernal has better drivers [06:33] !dontzap | NewWorld, Luke_ [06:33] NewWorld, Luke_: To re-enable the Ctrl-Alt-Backspace combination that restarts your X server see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/DontZap [06:33] mezquitale : to www.pastebin.com or paste.ubuntu.com [06:33] its a samsung n130 [06:33] ok will run the fdisk.

[06:52] Ziggyzxxyl, I had to step away...I tried pepee's advice, but the mount command doesn't seem to support those options. I can mount the floppy, and create files as (root)sudo, but that's as far as I have been able to do for now. [06:52] luke: or power off, plug your keyboard and mouse into different ports, and start up again. [06:52] tried couldnt get it to work [06:52] Ziggyzxxyl: what is the file system of your floppy? [06:52] ok changing computers now for IRC.

How did you sync your mogul with ubuntu? [06:57] alt doesnt work [06:57] Luke_: Maybe xorg is elsewhere. Quit nano. 'updatedb' then 'locate xorg.conf' [06:57] any help in finding a better manual on empathy [06:57] spartan07: Next time you boot a LiveCD try the "test memory" option, it may be physical damage of your RAM modules.

[06:58] llutz: okay Luke_ : 'Xorg configure' [06:58] I installed the netbook remix, I didn't like the desktop system that came with it, so I disabled it.

[06:59] In Xfce4 I have desktop icons, so it has to be a gnome setting... [06:59] LINUXHELPNEEDED: did you7 read the guide? several directories like .gnome and .gconf are normally what i delete [06:59] MilitantPotato: what icons do you want? [06:59] grub gives me error 15 after text install [07:00] it didnt recognise the configure [07:00] mnemonikk: the files in ~/Desktop [07:00] mneptok: bhundven : lol so how do we configure X server now then?!

[07:00] LINUXHELPNEEDED: you could 'move' the .directorys they say to remove. Move them to 'Backups' or somthing [07:00] turbowei, your device is a phone? [07:00] spartan07, how many disks and partitions do you have? [07:00] LINUXHELPNEEDED: there ya go.. [07:00] xorg -configure -- will dump what xorg finds to xorg.conf.new in your home directory.

[07:02] greezmunkey, -o user,defaults,noauto [07:02] movie player plays avi very well [07:02] I think because it is an old bios I need an EFI partition to open up some advanced config settings on the bios which right now are greyed out [07:02] I dont have .Gnome or .Gnome2 but I have .Gnome2_private [07:02] songer: They use different engines. [07:02] NewWorld, vlc with avi audio goes pausing [07:02] fatal server errot: unrecognisedoption: configure [07:02] fatal server error: unrecognised option: configure [07:02] greezmunkey, obviously unmount before remounting...

[07:03] Luke_: Xorg -configure [07:03] neither do I have .gconf and .metacity [07:03] LINUXHELPNEEDED, correct name for the gnome2 folder in your home folder is : ~/.gnome2 (all lowercase) [07:03] and Im hopeing once I do that I can set the acpi settings and maybe that will do it but Im not sure [07:03] mezquitale, yah [07:03] LINUXHELPNEEDED: How are you checking that? Terminal or the nautilus file browser? [07:03] mezquitale, a rather old model. [07:03] dont have .gnome .gnome2 .metacity .gconf [07:03] nautilus file browser [07:04] LINUXHELPNEEDED: Press Ctrl+H to show hidden files. [07:04] right now I have no kind of settings for that in bios and I have researched the ubuntu forums and they say to change some of those settings [07:04] I have that option active already [07:04] LINUXHELPNEEDED: that site ngave the exact command to u7se to remove the dirs [07:04] run that command.. logout/back in see if it works [07:04] spartan07, what if you install another linux distro and install ubuntu from there? [07:05] spartan07, is complicated, but you learn some things.... [07:05] I have one portable drive that I want to encrypt with password to keep my private stuffs, how to do that on Ubuntu? [07:05] this one? rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity [07:05] tried mint, #!, fedora, and knopixx [07:05] NewWorld, the audio is going pausing [07:05] all hang [07:05] LINUXHELPNEEDED: While you're in your home direcotyr, yes [07:06] songer: Do you know if you're using ALSA or PulseAudio?

[07:06] no I have not [07:06] awesome idea [07:06] =D [07:06] stevebuntu, dpkg -l | grep linux- [07:07] spartan07: or unetbootin [07:07] I totally forgot about that option [07:07] stevebuntu, dpkg -l | grep linux- | grep "2.6.32" [07:07] spartan07: are you familiar with messing with your BIOS? [07:07] Any ways to make my portable drive private (encrypted) with password? [07:07] xfact: ecrypt, truecrypt you should find howtos at forums [07:07] yes [07:07] how do i get into the home directory through terminal? [07:07] mnemonikk: I sorted it out, gconf-editor apps>nautilus>preferences [07:07] ok it outputted To test server run 'X -conig /xorg.conf.new" [07:07] spartan07: and to be clear, you get a GRUB error 15? [07:07] mezquitale : ok while I'm rsyncing my root directory to an external disk ... I understand you want me to reboot onto the CD, and then? [07:07] messed around with it long enough to make ubutnu run on this x58 i7 [07:07] yes [07:07] LINUXHELPNEEDED: 'cd ~' << ~ is shortcut for home dir [07:07] this is when its a good time to suggest reading a few bash tutorials.. [07:07] llutz: ok looking [07:08] NewWorld, how can i know that? [07:08] Luke_: or just 'sudo cp ~/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf' (without quotes) and 'sudo restart gdm' [07:08] songer: What ubuntu version are you using? [07:08] I tried that but it doesnt do anything [07:08] LINUXHELPNEEDED, NewWorld and even faster way to get to your home directory is to type "cd" [07:08] spartan07, or just install it in another machine... [07:08] karmic [07:08] NewWorld, [07:08] ?? [07:08] spartan07: go into the BIOS and see if the IDE/SATA devices can be put in RAID mode. whatever the setting is now, change it to the other option. this will have Linux try to load the AHCI driver, which may result in your disks being recognized. [07:08] LINUXHELPNEEDED: Type in 'pwd' to print working directory, to see if you're in the right home directory. [07:09] If I remove alsa using synaptic and then re-install it- will it be a totally fresh slate of alsa? [07:09] spartan07, with your hdd on it [07:09] yes im in home [07:09] ZykoticK9: :OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO *mind blown* [07:09] Luke_: if it fails, put the results up on pastebin from /var/log/Xorg.0.log [07:09] but this command does nothing rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity [07:09] brb let me see if I have those settings [07:09] ZykoticK9, hahah [07:09] askhader: No, you would have to do 'Completely Remove' and that might not remove everything anyway. [07:09] ii linux-image-2.6.32-020632-generic 2.6.32-020632 Linux kernel image for version 2.6.32 on x86 [07:09] ii linux-source-2.6.32 2.6.32-020632 Linux kernel source for version 2.6.32 with [07:10] stevebuntu, reboot your machine [07:10] LINUXHELPNEEDED: bash 101 - if a command dosent print an error,. it basically worked [07:10] ... [07:10] NewWorld: So how would I go about doing this? Perhaps completely removing and recompiling from source? [07:10] Tatzelbrumm, reboot into the live CD and then resize your ext3 partition, take away like 4 to 10 megabites and then reboot again into the hard drive [07:10] LINUXHELPNEEDED: log out/baqck in and see if it worked [07:10] LINUXHELPNEEDED: type 'ls -al ~/' and upload output to www.pastebin.com [07:10] mezquitale: ok, after I've backed up my root directory. rsync is running, and will probably run for some 10 min. [07:11] xchat how do i save this channel ? [07:11] askhader: Why do you want to recompile from source? Can't you just get the stable packages from the repo? [07:11] stevebuntu: What you mean save? And what IRC client? [07:11] no raid mode but extended configuration is greyed out and says not used [07:11] NewWorld: Well sound refuses to work on my HP laptop intel-hda card on karmic [07:11] NewWorld whats that for? [07:11] bookmrk [07:11] favorite [07:11] stevebuntu: you should probably 'sudo update-grub' before rebooting. just to make sure grub has your new kernel. [07:11] xchat [07:11] stevebuntu, just write /join #ubuntu after connecting to the server [07:12] askhader, why would you want to remove alsa? If sound does not work it will not work by reinstalling, you have to configure it [07:12] LINUXHELPNEEDED: You can't find the directories you have to delete. 'ls' lists the files in a directory. If we could see it we could point you to the right folder. [07:12] spartan07: well, see if you can enable that, and see if the setting is there. [07:12] pepee, I created a mount point in my home dir as a test, mounted the floppy, and then accessed with Nautilus. I could right click, and get an option to create a folder or document (didn't do that before), but clicking one of those options fails (permission denied)! Wierd. [07:12] stevebuntu: You would have to add from XChat > Network List [07:12] http://www.pastebin.com/d5f948940 [07:13] stevebuntu, network list, select freenode, edit, favorite... [07:13] mezquitale: I screwed around with a patch and may have broken alsa =] [07:13] askhader: as normal user run 'alsamixer' in terminal. Use 'M' to unmute the right channels. [07:13] NewWorld: I've tried the usual troubleshooting [07:13] NewWorld: Nothing takes. It's a known issue for my laptop series. [07:14] I think I need to create an EFI partition to enable that section of the bios. The issue is I dont know how to make an EFI partition. Rescue cd and gparted do not have an option for that [07:14] pepee, you know what...I use thumbdrives anyway, and they work - I'm bailing on the floppy! [07:14] greezmunkey, sudo chown -R /media/floppy0 ? [07:14] NewWorld: It was submitted to the bugzilla but karmic has yet to patch it. [07:14] askhader, if you want to reinstall alsa go ahead but it may do more harm than good, you will have to do manual configuration [07:14] greezmunkey, sudo chown -R -your_user- /media/floppy0 ? [07:14] askhader: And you couldn't find a workaround? [07:14] is there a rescue distro that has those kind of options? [07:14] pepee, I could try it...brb [07:14] spartan07: you sure you dont mean an efi partition table? [07:14] greezmunkey: sudo mount -o remount,uid=1000,rw /dev/fd0 [07:15] hi how i get to the ubuntu support IRC?? [07:15] scadfux: you're here. ask away. [07:15] I thought efi was just for apple but I read in the forums that the bios uses it for more config settings [07:15] ahok [07:15] k wish me luck :) [07:15] hi all [07:15] pepee: don't use chown/chmod for non-unix filesystems. it won't work in most cases [07:15] I got a kernel problem [07:15] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table [07:15] problem, drcode? [07:15] maybe thats it. [07:15] !info refit > spartan07 [07:15] I try to upgrade from ubuntu 9.04 into 9.10 , it say that I need to add universe. [07:15] spartan07: i recall on a NEW unpartione3d hd - that gparted asked me once what type of partion table to use. I think efi was an option [07:16] but where to had it? [07:16] spartan07: but i may be wrong [07:16] spartan07, try ubuntu lucid [07:16] drcode: Start Menu > System > Administration > Sources? Something like that? [07:16] i just ran gparted and I didnt see it [07:16] (10.04) [07:16] wow, thats available, good idea [07:16] What mp3 player has graphical visualizations(plugins) for Ubunut? [07:16] !lucid > spartan07 [07:16] spartan07, please see my private message [07:16] anyone alive here? [07:17] re [07:17] spartan07, no idea if it will support it... [07:17] mezquitale: as I'm seeing the list of everything on my linux installation ... can I delete /lib/modules subdirectories of older kernels than, say, the last 3 ones? [07:17] Tatzelbrumm: I did that, cause I didn't need them and there was no problme. [07:17] llutz, dude...just when I was about to give up...That worked! It was the uid=1000 that did it! [07:17] hey guys, ubuntu 10.04 just detected a raid system automatically that I couldn't get to work in other distros automatically - do you guys have any idea what it is doing in order to setup dmraid? [07:17] thanks llutz , didn't know it === ljsdofuynsdfufuh is now known as qwer [07:18] MHz128: first, its Ubuntu and second, Rhythmbox does [07:18] ah. llutz heh, I'm in the wrong chan. thanks. [07:18] Tatzelbrumm, that is a different issue that you will have to ask someone else, first fix your hard drive and then do as you wish [07:18] or is it using the linux kernel reaid at first? [07:18] greezmunkey: read man mount for non-unix fs mount options [07:18] * greezmunkey bows to llutz, Obama waiting to do same [07:18] qwer: /join #ubuntu+1 [07:18] when starting the Ubuntu, linux 2.6.31 - 19 it says [2.438226] kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root FS on unknown -block(8,5) [07:19] ok guys im gonna try lucid and the wubi install I'll be back. thanks for the great ideasd [07:19] spartan07, /join ubuntu+1 ad ask them [07:19] /join #ubuntu+1 [07:19] spartan07: anddon't cry if it breaks [07:19] I got this "You might see a note that support for some applications ended" === airtonix is now known as release [07:19] llutz, haha === release is now known as airtonix === dad_ is now known as Guest79791 [07:20] lol, I wont. I'll be happy if I get anything [07:20] hello? [07:20] can I just skip it? [07:20] hello scadfux [07:20] hdparm -Tt /dev/sd[ab] what does this do? [07:20] scadfux: You should check the filesystem for errors. DO you know how to do that? [07:20] nop [07:21] this is my firt experience with linux [07:21] so how do i get there [07:21] Guest16997, man hdparm [07:21] Guest79791: performs something like a disk-benchmark [07:21] scadfux: The easiest method would be to boot into the LiveCD and check it from Gparted. Can you boot into the LiveCD environment? [07:22] i got the 2.6.31 - 19 version completely blocked i`m working from the 2.6.31 -17 version [07:22] folks, ive been asking in #ubuntu-server but the folks there have gone quiet. [07:22] im trying to get wifi working on a server install [07:22] Cappy: What card model? [07:22] llutz, ok, that's great - but I read that file changes are queued to floppy drives, and that those changes are written when the drive is umounted. Where should I look to cause the drive changes to be written immediately? [07:22] its a ralink card. [07:23] greezmunkey: sudo mount -o remount,uid=1000,rw,sync /dev/fd0 [07:23] i have wireless-tools installed and i have the card associated to my network with wpa2 turned off (open network) [07:23] hey -- are there any diagnostics I can run to see if my hard drive is ok (not failing or anything) [07:23] greezmunkey: "sync" option [07:23] sure but how i get to the live CD in firt place? [07:23] llutz, sync option? [07:23] llutz, got it! [07:23] I've been getting really high "wait" percentages when update manager runs [07:23] greezmunkey: it's a mount option [07:23] and it's started today [07:23] llutz, trying that now.. [07:24] scadfux: Do you have Gparted installed on this older kernel version? [07:24] greezmunkey: you can manually force syncing, using "sudo sync" at commandline [07:24] Cappy: if you type 'ifconfig' on that machine does it show something like 'wlan0'? [07:25] I dont think so [07:25] this is chinese for me [07:25] not when i do ifconfig, but i get the info when i do iwconfig [07:25] Cappy: sudo ifconfig wlan0 up && sudo dhclient wlan0 [07:25] NewWorld: like i`m really new on this [07:25] llutz, would that be recommended, especially when using usb jump drives? [07:26] scadfux: Is it a fresh install? [07:26] NewWorld: how i get to the gparted in first place [07:26] yep [07:26] greezmunkey: i prefer to mount with "sync". it minimizes danger of data loss [07:26] linux and win7 [07:26] scadfux: What ubuntu version? Maybe Gparted won't help solve the problem after all [07:27] Buongiorno a tutti [07:27] I unistalled the Amarok and then i defraged the disk by windows [07:27] and now it doesnt work [07:27] llutz, thanks a bunch, now it works [07:27] 2.6.31 - 19 [07:27] greezmunkey: if you often have to deal with floppies, look at mtools [07:28] scadfux: 0.0 how can you defrag from Windows? Check what version you downloaded.. 8.10 or 9.04 ,etc [07:28] oh and also i tried to make an upgrade but it doesnt wants to connect to the server [07:28] llutz, will do thanks. [07:28] scadfux: How can you make an upgrade if ubuntu won't even boot because of the kernel panic? [07:28] Ubuntu 9.10 [07:29] before it happened [07:29] scadfux: sorry what did you defrag exactly? [07:29] NewWorld: is this a big problem? [07:29] scadfux: No, cause it's a fresh install and you can just re-install :) [07:29] llutz, i have an address from my router, but i cant ping out, anything else you can suggest? [07:30] llutz, If I edit /etc/fstab do I need to restart for the changes to work? [07:30] Cappy: check nameservers/route [07:30] greezmunkey: only if you want automount things [07:30] I used the Smart defrag from Iobit.com and defragged the disk where were the ubuntu [07:30] llutz, sorry to be a pain, but where am i looking to check them? what am i looking for? [07:30] ok [07:31] Would anyone by chance know how to append a command usually invoked with a colon in vim to the .vimrc? EG; adding :NERDTree to the .vimrc? [07:31] scadfux: What did you defrag? [07:31] the X:\ disk [07:31] Cappy: "host www.google.com" "sudo route -n" look for G in a line, showing the gateway [07:31] scadfux: What is on that disk? [07:32] NewWorld: the ubuntu but I did it by Win7 [07:32] good day to all :) .. I am unable to use /dev/video0 in mythtv ... I just followed this nice url for the pvr 150 happu card http://hyams.webhop.net/mythtv/myth_ubuntu.html [07:32] asdff: There's a VIM chan on freenode I think :) [07:32] haha kk man cheers [07:32] there are also some music... [07:32] Cappy: "grep nameserver /etc/resolv.conf" should show you at least one valid dns-ip [07:32] so I reinstall? [07:32] scadfux: You can't defrag the linux partition like that. That's what ruined it probably, just reinstall [07:32] ok [07:33] may I reinstall it by the windows common unistaller? [07:33] scadfux: wubi? [07:33] but as it has been I am still not able to view video or live tv in myth .. I can post mythbuntu log grabber if some would take a look at the video part ? [07:33] and what i do when I wanna defrag linnux? [07:33] yep [07:33] scadfux: The way it's built, you don't need to defrag it. It doesn't fragment. [07:33] llutz, i did 'host www.google.com" and got a connection timed out error [07:33] linux* [07:33] pray ..:) [07:34] ah nice [07:34] i wanna make it so my mouse can scroll when i hold down on the scroll wheel, how? [07:34] NewWorld: wrong [07:34] so I unistall by wubi and reinstall on a separated partition? [07:34] llutz: I tried to pick my words carefully there, I knew some lawyer would break my statements apart xDD [07:34] scadfux: you cannot defrag ext-filesystems, you'd have to copy it to a fresh filesystem [07:35] NewWorld: tbh, it is definetly an urban legend that ext-fs won't fragment [07:35] scadfux: Don't you want to reinstall to the same partition? Just format it and reinstall there. [07:35] ????? === meowbuntu is now known as meowbuntu-away [07:35] no i have more stuff on that partition [07:35] Back it up :) [07:35] llutz, yeah, I have to restart. I added the sync option, and uid option in fstab. [07:35] ou shait [07:36] greezmunkey: no restart needed [07:36] ok [07:36] i wanna make it so my mouse can scroll when i hold down on the scroll wheel, how? [07:36] and how do i hear music on linux that is on a windows partition? [07:36] Make pigs fly and it will happen moatt :) [07:37] .... [07:37] ? [07:37] ok [07:37] system>prefrences>now what? [07:37] thx bye? [07:37] llutz, I issued another mount command, and recieved an error. "mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock yadda yadda yadda [07:37] scadfux: In the file browser in linux, on the left yo uwill see the windows partition. [07:37] moatt: depending on the app, you can do it via plug ins; i.e. epiphany has a neat one [07:37] scadfux- an easy solution would be to copy your files onto a portable hard drive, and just play it while logged into Linux. But thats a lazy solution... [07:37] moatt: I don't think it's as simple as that at all :( [07:37] !patience | moatt [07:37] moatt: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [07:38] Hi can I run gnomenu on ubuntu 9.10? [07:38] moatt: gnome doesn't have anything like that for general use afaik [07:38] llutz, maybe it didn't like the uid=1000 option...I'll check, thanks! [07:38] Cappy: sudo route -n|grep G [07:38] yep but it doesnt open the files on the host file [07:38] scadfux: the host file? [07:38] greezmunkey: paste that fstab-line here please [07:38] SO [07:38] Wait, when I click on the scroll wheel [07:38] usually I can drag the screen aroung [07:38] usually I can drag the screen around [07:38] yeah? [07:38] now I can't.... [07:38] scadfux: what is a host file? [07:38] its written host [07:38] on the file [07:39] and it takes to the other files on the same disk [07:39] USERofLINUX247: yes, you can add it to your panel by right clicking on it; Alt+F1 works too... I think [07:39] scadfux: What is this file and how is it relevant? :S [07:39] just forget it [07:39] ... [07:39] ok [07:39] now i gonna format my disk [07:39] Wait [07:40] Didn't you say you have stuff there you wanna keep? [07:40] tell me [07:40] what is this person doning .. .. [07:40] yep [07:40] So don't format... back it up. [07:40] !enter | scadfux [07:40] scadfux: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [07:40] and u told me to make the backup [07:40] Yeah, do that before the format [07:40] llutz, had to get it here: /dev/fd0/media/floppy0msdosrw,uid=1000,noauto,utf8 0 0 [07:41] ah ok. [07:41] Make sure to backup the 'host file' it sounds important. [07:41] greezmunkey: some spaces/tabs missing.... [07:41] llutz, insert spaces in the usual places... [07:41] How to I install a .tar.gz file? [07:41] has anybody ever found the terminal application acts as if the ctrl key is constantly pressed down? This only happens in Terminal, not any other application.. [07:41] yep i gonna do it but then i need to format right? [07:41] llutz, I'll redo. [07:41] /dev/fd0/media/floppy0msdosrw,uid=1000,noauto,utf8 0 0 [07:41] /dev/fd0/media/floppy0msdosrw,uid=1000,noauto,utf8 0 0 [07:41] USERofLINUX247: before you do that, have you checked the repos to see if the app is already there? [07:42] yikes... [07:42] so backup and format... [07:42] greezmunkey: :D is ok === meowbuntu-away is now known as meowbuntu [07:42] scadfux: Yeah once you've backed up your files format that partition. And reinstall Ubuntu. [07:42] !away > meowbuntu [07:42] meowbuntu, please see my private message [07:42] llutz: /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 msdos rw,uid=1000,noauto,utf8 0 0 [07:42] greezmunkey: change "msdos" into "auto" and try again [07:42] there [07:42] in synaptic? YEs [07:42] anyone here used e17 on ubuntu [07:43] NewWorld: thx NewWorld a lot of work to keep the linux working. [07:43] How can I mount my external drive so that it doesn't enforce permissions? [07:43] scadfux: Np, hope it works out :) [07:43] USERofLINUX247: a .tar.gz is a container+compressing format, similar to zip or rar [07:43] Bye!! [07:43] see ya [07:43] llutz, worked with msdos there, the thing I added was uid=1000, but I'll try... [07:43] okay so i extracted it to a file on my desktop, how would I go about installing it? [07:44] also my background changed after extracting the file to desktop [07:44] USERofLINUX247: Use a terminal and 'cd' inside the extracted folder. [07:44] USERofLINUX247: first, extract the contents of it, then (if available) run the binary file; if there is no binaries you will need to compile the source code. [07:44] (i dont have multiple wallpapers) [07:44] USERofLINUX247: sounds like you might have nautilus running as root [07:45] ardchoille, is that a problem? [07:46] Do i need to install gnome to get gnomenu to run? [07:46] USERofLINUX247: nautilus manages the desktop wallpaper and icons. and afaiac nautilus shouldn't be run as root, it's better to learn how to use the cli with sudo [07:46] gnome in the synaptic manager [07:46] Has aRTS sound server been completely removed? If I have a game giving me error about libartsc.so.0, should I just forget about it? The game is UT2004-64bit-demo (I have UT2004 32bit working fine) [07:46] USERofLINUX247: if you are running Ubuntu (not Kubuntu nor Xubuntu) you already have gnome and the gnome menu installed. [07:47] llutz, that's wierd, changed to "auto" tryed to open "file.txt" got an option box stating that "file.txt" is an executable text file, run in term, display contents, etc !! [07:47] USERofLINUX247: you need gnome panel running in order to be able to add the gnomenu applet, yes [07:47] im running ubuntu but in synaptic it shows I dont have gnome installed [07:47] whats Kubuntu and Xubuntu? [07:47] llutz, that's funny - executable text file... :D [07:47] Ubuntunewb: it is Ubuntu with different desktop environment [07:47] USERofLINUX247: that's normal, you have the package called ubuntu-desktop installed, that's the normal ubuntu desktop [07:48] greezmunkey: all will be executable, if that bit is set [07:48] should I install gnome? [07:48] USERofLINUX247: no [07:48] thats in the synaptic manager [07:48] llutz, I think I'll try vfat and see what happens... [07:48] oh okay [07:48] so how would i learn to use cli with sudo? what does that mean? [07:48] I am looking for good desktop recorder , where I can put also notes and so, under linux [07:48] !sudo | USERofLINUX247 [07:49] USERofLINUX247: sudo is a command to run command-line ( see !cli ) programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [07:49] !bash | USERofLINUX247 [07:49] USERofLINUX247: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

[07:51] j [07:51] b14ck, I believe sudo apt-get update [07:52] sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade # to update everything [07:52] b14ck, sorry did not read the end of that . [07:52] b14ck: If you would like to upgrade to a newer version of Ubuntu, e.g. 9.10, then have a look at http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading See the section for Ubuntu Servers. [07:52] llutz, If anything, this has been a learning experience! vfat didn't change that, but at least the drive is useable now! [07:52] Won't dist-upgrade just remove packages? [07:52] USERofLINUX247: https://launchpad.net/gnomenu download the 2.4 version (is the file you probably downloaded inittially) when you extract it, a README.txt file is created, READ IT, you'll find installation instructions there. [07:52] b14ck: it updates the system [07:52] ardchoille, gotcha [07:52] thanks [07:52] yw [07:53] sudo apt-get install love was disappointing. [07:53] thanks darolu :) [07:53] How can I mount my external drive so that it doesn't enforce permissions? [07:53] or so that regular users can access all files regardless of the octal permissions [07:53] magn3ts: fstab? [07:54] We are about to set up a new virtualization platform at my work. It will contain a 35TB disk server and two virtualization servers that has 2xquad CPUs and +24GB RAM. Live migration should work between these two servers. I need some advice how to set this up. Disk server will probably be using LVM where each guest has a logical volume. One of my questions is, how do I make the virtualization servers see my LVM on the disk server? It's not optimal t [07:54] o create one iSCSI LUN for each logical volume. Then I need to do this manual each time. Is this a must? Any recommendations? [07:54] !fstab | magn3ts [07:54] magn3ts: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system.

[07:55] 1 Gb of ram on a dell laptop [07:55] USERofLINUX247: uhhh .... why are you downloading source when you could use a PPA? - https://launchpad.net/~gnomenu-team/+archive/ppa [07:55] cbx: technically you can run without it, but you should create one with at least 512MB [07:55] cbx: if you're hibernating, having more than your memory is a good thing [07:55] cbx: if you ever want to have a prayer of hibernating, yes. [07:56] ah yes, I forget that [07:56] I'm trying to resize a ntfs partition... [07:56] cbx: 1.5GB to be sure you can hibernate [07:56] stupid gparted won't let me create a an extended / logical partition for some reason [07:56] mneptok: very good point [07:56] BUT ntfsresize says that there are bad sectors... [07:56] Then there probably are [07:56] mneptok because im not sure what im doing! LOL thanks ill get that instead [07:56] the hdd is new [07:56] pepee: try running chkdisk in windows [07:56] cbx: You are limited to 4 primary partitions per hardrive. An extended partition is counted as a primary one, but you can create unlimited amount of logical parititons in the extended parititon.

[07:57] jgjhgg [07:57] cbx, same on windows [07:57] USERofLINUX247: add the PPA to your sources. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install gnomenu [07:57] fstab is definitely not what I'm looking for. the options there would help but that page doesn't answer the question.

[07:58] cbx: date? [07:58] magn3ts: then read "man mount" and use the options you need on your fstab file... [07:58] so I don't know if really there are problems with this hdd [07:58] USERofLINUX247: you're using Edgy? [07:58] darolu, I don't want it in fstab >_< [07:58] pepee: chkdsk doesn't complain? [07:58] whats edgy? [07:58] NewWorld: date? of the gparted release? [07:59] also I already read !fstab !partitions the man page and googled for 20 minutes [07:59] USERofLINUX247: check your sources [07:59] magn3ts: then mount manually each time you want to mount your device [07:59] USERofLINUX247: were you here before as another all-caps NEEDSHELP nick? [07:59] cbx: "[2 are already used up with date :|" << what does your HDD look like in terms of partitions? [07:59] every where says use "gksudo nautilus" which is NOT the right answer to the problem [07:59] how do i check sources? [07:59] yes [07:59] mneptok that was me [07:59] NewWorld, nope, but it says "72 kB of files in bad sectors" [07:59] NewWorld: Data... [07:59] USERofLINUX247: can i be 100% honest with you? and you won;t take it personally? [07:59] pepee: so tell chkdisk to fix those errors [07:59] magn3ts: I don't mean to come to the party late but what is that you're trying to do? [07:59] no i wont take it personally say what you have to say [08:00] cbx, /f /r ? i did that [08:00] pepee: defragmenting in windows should help too [08:00] i did that too [08:00] pepee: Can't you use another program apart from Gparted? [08:00] syn-ack, I'm trying to mount an external hard drive and have ubuntu ignore the chmod/owner of the files on the drive [08:00] pepee: use the software your disk manufacturer provides for hard drive diagnostics, if that says there's bad sectors, return the drive.

[08:00] Oh [08:00] USERofLINUX247: you're obviously new to the Linux world. and you're trying to use custom apps, install additional software sources, recofigure the system. you have a LOT of motivation, but none of the background skills. [08:00] !umask [08:00] s/the/that [08:00] USERofLINUX247: you're trying to run before you can walk. [08:01] magn3ts: you can't ignore the file permissions for, for one, permissions are inode based not file based and two if you'd like to automount the drive, you add the entry to fstab [08:01] I can rely on the info from chkdsk/ntfsresize? [08:01] magn3ts: period. [08:01] LOL your quite right about that! maybe I have some scissors in my hand also [08:01] How does ubuntu hibernate if you install it thru wubi? [08:01] is my new hdd that bad? :( [08:01] it creates a pagefile [08:01] ? [08:01] USERofLINUX247: stop trying to tweak the bejebus out of your system, and just *use* it for a while. learn the basics. find your way around. then start changing default apps and the default look and feel. [08:01] USERofLINUX247: HAHAHAH Scissors x'D [08:01] USERofLINUX247, why on earth do you have edgy sources in your sources.list [08:01] lol [08:02] Don't bash him [08:02] brico: Is language-pack-en installed?

I appreciate the help but I've specified like 6 times that I don't want this automounted or in my fstab. I'm gonna go figure this out myself. [08:02] USERofLINUX247: i say this not to deride you, but because i want you to learn to love Linux. and i think you're just setting yourself up for frustration. [08:02] again, the partition was moved through the lan... using dd and netcat [08:02] how to install a .bin file? [08:02] NewWorld: ah, so it'll create a swap file innit? Can't I create a swap *file* instead of a partition? [08:02] USERofLINUX247: here is the easy way -> click on System - Admin - Software Sources; there click the "other software" tab, then click on Add; and paste this: ppa:gnomenu-team/ppa IF you are using Karmic (Ubuntu 9.10) [08:02] magn3ts: I never told you to automount, I merely said IF [08:03] if you DONT want automount, then I suggest you man mount [08:03] b14ck: Is language-pack-en installed? [08:03] cbx: I've never heard of that being done, maybe Google it [08:03] I'm just going to do a wubi install then === jadakren is now known as group [08:03] magn3ts: especially if you're gonna have that tude with me. === group is now known as jadakren [08:03] 3 systems to install windows and linux on [08:03] syn-ack, I know.

I'm almost 100% positive there is a way to do this with umask but I'm having a heck of a time with google [08:03] USERofLINUX247: If you're not on edgy, the packages that edgy repo will provide won't install on your system. [08:03] magn3ts: which fs are you trying to mount? [08:03] hfsplus [08:04] cbx, use virtualbox and then clone the hdd [08:04] USERofLINUX247: thanks for listening. as always, what i said is just one man's opinion. take it for what it's worth. and if you ask my wife, it ain't worth much, brother. ;) [08:04] magn3ts: is the hfs kernel module loaded? [08:04] syn-ack, yeah I can mount it okay but I can't access my /Users/ because I don't have permission in ubuntu [08:04] with vbox and you can repair windows after accessing it from the physical partition... [08:04] b14ck: ? [08:04] *vbox and linux [08:05] now my turn guys help me now how to install a .bin file [08:05] valentinex: what is the file? [08:05] Speaking of cloning HDDs, is dd a viable option for that? [08:05] USERofLINUX247: after that (and reloading your list), go to System - Admin - Synaptic and search for gnomenu and check it to install (right click the empty box) [08:05] jdk, java development kit [08:05] mezquitale: my backup is FINALLY complete. Booted from CD. Now what? Installer or run ubuntu off the CD? [08:05] LOL, thanks for the help! I will take your advice and start learning the basics [08:06] mneptok: ^ [08:06] Valentinex: right click the .bin file, click the partitions tab, and check the box "allow to execute as a program" [08:06] valentinex: the one in the repos won;t suit your needs? [08:06] how do i prevent my IP and ISP showing up when i connect to an irc channel ? [08:06] USERofLINUX247, first one: DOn't tell ANYONE here your a n00b! [08:06] jadakren: ask at #freenode for a cloak [08:06] valeninex: permissions tab, not partitions tab... >.> [08:06] valentinex, chmod +x *.bin; ./-name_here-.bin [08:06] ? [08:07] Oh right so if I add those sources then it gives permission browse their packages [08:07] USERofLINUX247: which ubuntu versio are you running? [08:07] 9.10 [08:07] USERofLINUX247: yes, add the ppa:gnomenu-team/ppa to access the gnomenu package [08:08] hmm please, help me [08:08] USERofLINUX247: ok, if you add sources for any other version (ex. jaunty sources, hardy sources), you're gong to have problems later [08:08] USERofLINUX247: you will not be able to use apt or Synaptic until you fix the broken edgy reference in your sources.list [08:08] that's what I was talking about :) [08:09] USERofLINUX247: you need to stick with karmic sources and only karmic [08:09] I can't believe my new hdd has bad sectors [08:09] USERofLINUX247: Go to System - Admin - Software Sources; in the 'other software' tab you can add the ppa I gave you and disable the edgy ones mneptok told you [08:10] Aha I see it now [08:11] http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org edgy was the one to disable [08:11] and the 2 karmic ones were to be activated [08:12] ;;; My .emacs file, nmvictor [08:12] ;;; My location for external packages.

[08:51] llutz thanks found it on google a minute ago [08:51] Dr_Willis: thanks, I'll try it out now [08:51] greezmunkey: yes [08:52] hi, i just installed lampp and i need to copy over a php file into my htdocs folder, but it says i dont own that folder so it will not let me paste. help. [08:52] says nobody group root [08:52] darolu : i installed the programm you proposed ... it looks very fine (exept the getkey funtion provoce an error ... but thats ok)... thank you for that ... do you know if there is any command-line tool to change the brightness of an laptop-screen? at the moment i'm using "Bildschirmhelligkeits-Applet 2.22.1" (but don't kno how to remote this from the terminal) [08:53] rww, I want to be able to clone voicemail system HDDs, I figure I can add a second drive, boot into live CD than go from there; does that sound about right? [08:53] @fauzie : so everything is fine ? [08:53] jake__, you may need to do it with 'sudo' and then set the correct permissions [08:53] Hi there, I have installed free vpn PacketiX service, tried sudo ifconfig vpn_0, sudo dhclient vpn_0, then again ifconfig... I gain adress for client, but then i cannot acces internet. Im beginner please help [08:53] then what use is the file browser if you cant copy paste? [08:54] jake__ - yes and If not already done do it on the console [08:54] Hello, if I want to run a webserver (ie LAMP package) is there any benefit to using Unbunto server edition or is the regular desktop version fine? [08:55] hi all! Does Totem run mms stream? Pls, anyone answer me! Srr 4 my bad English [08:55] axon: sorry, I have no idea how to do that from cli [08:55] jake__, there may not be read permissions set on the file, the file manager will work like the shell; if you don't have permissions to read that file then you won't be able to read it and there isn't much that can change it apart from changing the permissions if you happen to be the owner of that file [08:55] jake__ - with nautilus it won't work (as far as I know, becaus u have to start nautilus with sudo rights to gain access to "root-protected" files & folder) [08:56] ahh [08:56] jake__ - so it is easier to do it with the console [08:56] scorpo: running it just as a server? then it's better to use -server or minimal-install [08:56] jake__, try running the command 'gksudo nautilus' [08:56] then try doing your copy. [08:56] like in good old DOS times :) [08:57] MrCatEye: DOStimes never had been good :) [08:57] but jake__, as MrCatEye said you could use the console and go 'sudo cp /path/to/file /path/to/intended/copy' [08:58] llutz: I want to run a webserver (along with MySQL, PHP etc), and also be able to use the machine as a linux desktop to learn about linux. But I don't need the computer to share files/applications with other computers, which is what I understand a regular "server" does. [08:58] scorpo: use desktop ed then [08:58] !lamp [08:58] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [08:58] scorpo: "server" just means, a machine serves data, in any form/protocol. for your task, destop-install should be fine [08:59] llutz, Dr_Willis, & ubottu: thanks guys. I just wanted to be sure I wasn't missing something as I'm new to the webserver thang.

[13:17] computa_mike, I have many success stories with Ubuntu :) [13:17] <_Narc_> nathan7: Ok, I did, I can see my key listed, what should I look for ? [13:17] kareneliot_: i hear that.. [13:17] cmpsalvestrini: yes [13:17] not only for SD but i want to read from sd card [13:17] I saved it to my home folder [13:18] so what do i do? [13:18] <|el_nazista|> =))) "the pc TV cards are rubbish dont buy cheap ones", heh, who can give me money to buy this rubbish =) [13:19] cmpsalvestrini: do u have something in mind? [13:19] Darkst7ar: SD card readers are an ongoing PITR for linux, I was lucky that on my laptop the builtin SD reader worked OOB with ubu 9.10 [13:19] does any one know if changing the resolution with xrandr is possible with an ati card? I don't own one to find out. [13:19] soreau: if compiz is deactevated and i can plug in the second monitor, trying to run compiz --replace or trying to switch it on in the menues, it doesn't work, presenting a error:"Desktop effects could not be enabled" and if you tell me how to paste console-text i'll give you that. [13:19] what do I do, if a package installs okay, however the application installed is broken? [13:19] hannes815: Use pastebin.com [13:20] cmpsalvestrini: can u give an example of the name of the device. is it /dev/sdb? [13:20] IdleOne I saved the thing to my home folder, so what do i put in? [13:20] Darks7ar: I had in mind a module search on google for your sd readre [13:20] computa_mike, do you do some music? [13:21] Darkst7ar: I'm not at my ubu box atm [13:21] Moat: cd /home/your_user_name [13:21] cmpsalvestrini: ok. 10x [13:21] hello all [13:21] _Narc_: unplug usb stick and check hub speeds. [13:21] how do i check my username IDLEone [13:21] Moat, id [13:21] Hi, could someone pastebin their menu.list/grub.conf? Just wanna see how I can make booting more quiet (I'm on gentoo, on my laptop) [13:21] Moat, you can also simply do cd ~ [13:21] soreau: there you go. [13:21] moat type id in the terminal [13:21] done [13:21] psycho_oreos: or just cd [13:21] kareneliot_: I've had play hydrogen and ardour - my equipment just ain't up to scratch - plus I'm not very good at it [13:22] nasso_: just saw your msg. there is a known bug in Karmic (see launchpad https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/484272 [13:22] ) where gdm is gobbling up keystrokes instead of he console seeing them as your passphrase. Could this be your problem ? [13:22] * Zuz|Home is still trying to find someone to help him get wubi to work properly, wubi installed but when the computer is restarted there is no option to select windows xp or ubuntu. Can anyone help me fix this? [13:22] hannes815: You have to post the link it gives you back here [13:22] blakkheim, I don't think cd will change your pwd to your home directory :) [13:22] Zuz|Home: try a real installation [13:22] psycho_oreos: try it [13:22] kareneliot_: I was planning to record against the free backing tracks that you can download from the net (guitar) [13:22] <_Narc_> nathan7: Ok, thanks, I'll explore that [13:22] http://pastebin.com/m764a8a64 that one? soreau? [13:22] blakkheim, ahh that works :) good to know new ways thanks [13:22] Blakheim, I dont have a cd burner not ubuntu CDs :( [13:22] Nemykal: timeout 5 [13:22] default 0 [13:23] Zuz|Home: usb drive? [13:23] soreau: sorry, kinda new ;) [13:23] nope [13:23] Zuz|Home: can you boot into windows xp at all? [13:23] hannes815: That is ok. Here is the problem: Checking screen 1Comparing resolution (2560x1024) to maximum 3D texture size (2048): Failed. [13:23] kareneliot_: 27% downloaded [13:23] yes [13:23] hannes815: So can you show the output of xrandr? [13:23] Zuz|Home: yes to me? [13:23] yes zetheroo [13:23] at the top of your grub.conf [13:23] Best path is to install ubu on its own, preferably without double-booting, and virtualize a windows box for those windows programs that don't have a gnu/linux equivalent [13:24] Zuz|Home: when you boot into Windows do you notice any change to your hard drive sizes? [13:24] computa_mike, i havent equipment. lol I've done all with mouse and keyboard. [13:24] hannes815: Actually, what is the output of: glxinfo -l|grep max_texture_size [13:24] soreau: how? i think i'm using arandr right now (tried with grandr, xrandr, and arandr) so i don't necessarily now [13:24] computa_mike, LMMS is great :) [13:24] tana-lab: Already got the equivalents; I just want to see a ubuntu example grub.conf so I can grab the quiet / splash commands [13:24] kareneliot_: what's lmms? [13:25] computa_mike: and Ubuntu gives me happyness with no crashes! [13:25] ujuj [13:25] hi all, mysql server not running after upgrading from jaunty to karmic. i have checked forums and also applied changes but no success till now.. it is very annoying [13:25] How do i install a intex TV tuner card [13:25] So can anyone quickly pastebin their /boot/grub/menu.lst for me? [13:25] Somebody please help me. I'm trying to run Ubuntu (made with LinuxLive USB Creator 2.4), and it keeps getting stuck after that bit where it loads the essential drivers, runs those scripts and sets up a live user session/profile/whatever it's called. Then the screen goes blank and I get a blinking cursor... [13:26] zetheroo, yes I see ubuntu installed, its on the add/remove software, it has the 30gb space I gave, cmpsalvestrini, im not sure if you were saying that to me, but I do already have an ubuntu machine, this is my windows machine but I want to have ubuntu for fun [13:26] kareneliot_: yeah - i love ubuntu [13:26] i m trying to look for gimpshop but the only link i m getting is a rapidshare page which is too crowded to allow me a download... any suggestions how i can get gimpshop on ubuntu? [13:26] I tried rebuilding Ubuntu on the USB, but no avail. [13:26] Zuz|Home: ok so you want to run Ubuntu from within Windows and not dual boot? [13:26] computa_mike, Linux MultiMedia Studio: a sequencer similar to Fruity Loops Studio. http://lmms.sourceforge.net/ [13:26] hannes815: Just show the output of: glxinfo -l|grep max_texture_size [13:26] just wondering if any one can help me? i've tried to intall ubuntu 9.10 and dual boot it with windows vista, the both boot up, vista runs fine but ubuntu freezes, it let me play a game of tetris, but trying to set up empathy it froze, trying to start firefox it froze again, next time it let me start firefox, the froze when i typed in the google search box? it's my first time with ubuntu some i'm pretty clueless [13:27] kareneliot_: I'm downloading it right now... [13:27] zetheroo, no, i want to dual boot, im using "wubi" to do it, I actually used that on my little cousins windows 2000 computer last night and It workd flawless [13:28] soreau: sorry, i really don't know where to look, how to get this information :( [13:28] Zuz|Home: I thought Wubi enabled Ubuntu to be installed within Windows as any other application would be installed [13:28] hannes815: In your terminal where you ran compiz [13:28] Am I asking the wrong questions, because it seems I can't get support on this channel at all... [13:28] computa_mike, LMMS is in development... its not a FL Studio at all... but I dont need FL Studio now :) [13:28] zetheroo, something like that, but you still dual boot :) [13:28] ribot is pmming spam [13:29] hello, [13:29] what is ribot? [13:29] ! ops | ribot [13:29] sorry i was making script [13:29] ribot: Help! Channel emergency! (ONLY use this trigger in emergencies) - elky, Madpilot, tritium, Nalioth, tonyyarusso, PriceChild, Amaranth, jrib, Myrtti, mneptok, Pici, Jack_Sparrow, jpds, bazhang, jussi01, Flannel or ikonia! [13:29] i just had rbot spamming me about a serial [13:29] soreau: http://pastebin.com/d13e5442 [13:29] Zuz|Home: Win Vista is notoriously prickly about its bootloader, it's a real PITR to have it dualboot. That's one of the reasons why I chose to go the linux way in all my machines (well except for an ati based laptop) [13:29] zetheroo, my problem is that it didnt change the boot loader, so im not getting the options to switch to ubuntu [13:29] ubottu ribot [13:29] Alright, thanks. I give up on Ubuntu. [13:30] hannes815: Oh sorry, I meant grep -i max_texture_size [13:30] can anybody tel me how to reload /etc/resolv.conf file [13:30] can someone confirm if Wubi allows you do dual boot ... I thought it installs Ubuntu INSIDE of Windows ... [13:30] Nemykal: http://grub.enbug.org/grub.cfg [13:30] hannes815: Or use MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE [13:30] cmpsalvestrini, you might be right, but im on XP [13:30] anyone know how to install ubuntu in text-mode only (like via serial console and no vga output) [13:30] hey whats the symbol thats used to tell firefox to open link X [13:30] almost like the $ sign [13:30] Zuz|Home: oh, so no GRUB [13:30] the grub interface defaults to graphics output for some reason [13:30] Zuz|Home: I think wubi does not truly allow dualboot [13:30] im trying to write a simple script to get Tbird to open FF to a web link I click [13:31] guys - what's this ribot? [13:31] soreau: takes a while ;) [13:31] wubi allows dual boot. yes its true, it installs under windows but gives the capability for dual boot [13:31] he's gone [13:31] hannes815: Start a new terminal and run: glxinfo -l | grep -i max_texture_size [13:31] tyfon, I think you need to download and use the "Alternate" version of Ubuntu. [13:31] #ubuntu-it [13:31] hmm [13:32] lorenzo_: /join #ubuntu-it :) [13:32] maybe the mini.iso isn't correct afterall :p [13:32] kasun: ok cool [13:32] it edits windows bootloader [13:32] i got lots of fonts in my windows/fonts how do i embed it in to linux? [13:32] soreau: GL_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE = 2048 [13:32] PianoPete, thanks! fixed it with bootwait [13:32] rabbi1: You can install them in ~/.fonts, then run < sudo fc-cache -r > to reload your font cache. [13:32] PianoPete, im looking for a way to mount all partitions with just one password now [13:32] MenZa: install mean copy paste with do ? [13:33] rabbi1: Correct. Just drop them in there. [13:33] well guys it's been fun but... time to hit the rays [13:33] hannes815: Ok, that is the maximum total resolution size you can start compiz 0.8 in any dimension. So for example, 1024x768 for both screens would work, but not 1280x1024 [13:33] cmpsalvestrini, what ever it truly does, I installed it on a windows 2000 last night, worked really nice, everytime we restarted the machine we had the option of selecting windows 2000 or ubuntu, it booted straight to that OS when we selected and I loved it... I just want to get wubi to work on my machine, can you help? [13:34] hannes815: This is a graphics chipset hardware limit btw [13:34] tyfon, http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors [13:34] yeah im downloading it :9 [13:34] sorry, never used wubi Zuz, always did either a dualboot with windows or an all-ubuntu installation. [13:34] soreau: so how would i do that and what resolution do i wanna use? [13:34] i just figured it would work with the netboot installer too [13:34] hello, can anybody tel me how to reload /etc/resolv.conf file??? [13:35] what do I do, if a package installs okay, however the application installed is broken? [13:35] kasun: it's real time [13:35] GSF1200S: why are you writing a script at all? There shouldn't be any need to [13:35] tana-lab: apt-get -f === wet-chan is now known as wet [13:35] ikonia, what do you mean by real time? [13:35] hannes815: Just try setting both screens to 1024x and compiz should be able to start [13:36] kasun: it's parsed real time [13:36] soreau: cool, i'll try it out. is that hardware limit supposed to be driver-fixed or permanent? [13:36] jrib: im on seperate X sessions- firefox has a lock on the existing process. I have to run a script to go to DISPLAY=:0.0 Firefox... but I dont know the operand or whatever to tell thunderbird to insert its link [13:36] how is 9.04 support for i7 processor? [13:36] tana-lab: apt-get install -f [13:36] computa_mike, in leavin. [13:36] hannes815: Alternatively you can start compiz like this but it will probably cause problems: SKIP_CHECKS=yes compiz [13:36] soreau: fine [13:36] PingFloyd: there are no broken dependencies that apt-get can tell [13:37] ikonia: Thanks! :) [13:37] computa_mike, tyfon: good bye and nice days! [13:37] tana-lab: you would apt-get install -f package [13:37] ikonia, okay thanks. [13:37] GSF1200S: just pass the arguments directly to the firefox command [13:37] as the package dependencies are installed too [13:37] jrib: how so? [13:38] soreau: sorry, that was meant for SolarisBoy [13:38] hey all: $cd heart $apt-get install anarchism [13:38] SolarisBoy: support is fine [13:38] hannes815: The hardware limit I believe is fixed in software with compiz-0.9 [13:38] I am having a bit of a problem. I get and error saying libreadline.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [13:38] :) [13:38] GSF1200S: "$@" presumably [13:38] PingFloyd: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [13:38] ikonia: I know, Im just poking fun at you ;) [13:38] is it possible to change dependencies? [13:38] EgYPaRaDoX: not without rebuilding a package [13:38] jrib: haha man, i dont know what the hell im doing... tryin [13:39] Please help me [13:39] I am having a bit of a problem. I get and error saying libreadline.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [13:39] chartoin: doing what ? [13:39] hello. have installed xubuntu 9.10. I am having problems getting codecs for playing avi and mkv files. any suggestions?

Sorry to ask again. Any idea why my 16 GB USB key takes forever to mount (or doesn't mount at all) on my first Ubuntu box and mounts instantly on Win and my other Karmic box ? Thanks a lot. [13:40] ninja, Have you tried installing ubuntu-restricted-extras? [13:40] tana-lab: that error may or may not have to do with broken dependencies then [13:40] I tried apt-get install libreadline5 [13:40] chartoin: You probably need to install the libreadline5 package [13:40] whats the best way to download offline updates and packages for ubuntu ? [13:40] its installed [13:40] indeed, it's the package that's broken [13:41] chartoin: What is giving you this message? [13:41] tana-lab: likely the actual build of that particular package [13:41] gautham, A download script from Synaptic Package Manager. [13:41] soreau, When I run the simulator, it opens up a terminal [13:41] umang: this is the first time I have tried linux. I am ashamed to say, I do not know how to do that.

[13:42] chartoin: see if the library is on your system first of all [13:43] PingFloyd: karamic repo [13:43] ninja: open the terminal and then sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [13:43] ninja: and hit enter === lukjad86 is now known as ShadowChild [13:43] soreau, chartoin@Iris:~$ ls /lib/libreadline5.so [13:43] ls: cannot access /lib/libreadline5.so: No such file or directory === giveYouALittleCo is now known as blueghost === phpmonk_ is now known as phpmonk [13:43] chartoin: ok, so there is the problem the files not there [13:43] *karmic [13:44] chartoin: Which version of ubuntu is this? [13:44] soreau, 9.10 [13:44] chartoin: You probably need to reinstall the libreadline5 package then. Remove it first, then reinstall it. [13:44] ninja, Use Synaptic package manager to install a package called ubuntu-restricted-extras. To reach that package fast, just click on any package, and start typing ubuntu-restric... and it will get selected. Click it chose to install. Then click OK and Apply.

[13:46] cannot find it. size is no problem 40/10 mbit conn. [13:46] I could do a source install however it'll just clutter up the system [13:46] soreau, ikonia, thanks a lot guys [13:46] that worked [13:46] Darks7ar: Yes, you can build kernel modules out-of-tree without building the kernel [13:46] You are geniuses [13:46] chartoin: NP [13:46] Darks7ar: Last i did it was proerly over 5 yrs ago. so i doubt if i can help much, [13:47] ninja: it's in the ubuntu software center [13:47] soreau: can u help me [13:47] ninja, do you know how to use the terminal? [13:47] Darks7ar: got the soruce. confoguired what modules to build.. and ran some command that made them.. that was all i rember. [13:47] ninja, (just how to open it is enough) [13:47] Darks7ar: Perhaps. First, what module is it and why do you want to install it? [13:47] soreau: it kinda worked :( it prsented the same error "desktop effects can't be enabled" but with console it activated, but the whole screen went black except for the cursor. [13:47] hi [13:47] i have question, how to do a command update [13:47] soreau: so what's still wrong? [13:47] or could I make a working dep package and install that? [13:47] sudo apt-get udate ?? [13:47] hannes8151: What did you do exactly? [13:47] never tried that yet [13:48] phong_: sudo aptitude update; sudo aptitude full-upgrade [13:48] soreau: its ehci_hcd i want to install it because my card reader doesn't work. [13:48] anyone having any idea how I can get mysql workbench on linux-ubuntu 9.04 [13:48] Darks7ar: Did you find some source code for it? [13:48] found it. downloading now. thanks [13:48] soreau: im not sure if thats the problem but dmesg gives the following when i put my sd card:[ 3234.064068] usb 2-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4 [13:48] [ 3234.207296] usb 2-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice [13:48] soreau: terminal : compiz --replace after i switched both resolutions to 1024x768 [13:49] ninja, You're welcome. :) [13:49] ninja : you're welcome [13:49] hannes8151: Hmmm.. that is strange.. [13:49] soreau: no i havent searched yet because i didn't know if it was possible [13:49] blakkheim, got itt hanks [13:49] i'm curious. any reason ubuntu defaults to a swappiness of 60 specifically? [13:49] gautham, did you find what you were looking for? [13:49] anyone having any idea how I can get mysql workbench on linux-ubuntu 9.04 [13:50] Darks7ar: My guess is there is likely some other problem. What specific problem are you having with the sd card reader? [13:50] also get the error message "HAL daemon is not running upon startup. any ideas? [13:50] how do one make a dep package [13:50] tana-lab: yeah, you could try the deb-src pkg and see if you have better luck [13:50] umang: not yet. problem is I have a laptop with ubuntu which needs to be updated and a desktop with windowsxp and archlinux which has internet [13:51] hi all [13:51] gautham, That's find. Almost any linux has wget. If not, use DownloadThemAll on Windows [13:51] soreau: it just doesn't work. its builtin. i bought new notebook recently. [13:51] i tried to dual boot windows 7 and ubuntu ( ubuntu installed first) but when i set up menu.lst and try to boot windows from grub menu it says BOOTMGR missing Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart any suggestions ? [13:51] and I want kubuntu-desktop, xubuntu-desktop, lxde, icewm, ubuntu-studio-desktop packages downloaded [13:51] tana-lab: see apt-get build-dep in the manpage, about your dependency question [13:51] Hi guys - I have a question about insalling themes under ubuntu. I've tried installing the Genoid theme - it's a gtk theme to look like android. It installs the widget graphics ok, but once it is applied it appears as Custom on the list - I would have thought that installing a theme would make it visible on the appearance screen. Am I doing something wrong? [13:51] along with ubuntu-restricted-extras [13:51] Darks7ar: Can you show the information about it from lsusb? [13:51] umang: can I get updated packages ? [13:52] how do I configure which input method Empathy uses in Karmic? The internal mic on my Acer aspire one works (so so) in skype but not in empathy. I've removed pulseaudio and installed alsa instead just to get the mic working somewhat [13:52] soreau: you got any more ideas? you know when compiz 0.9 is out? [13:52] only program the mic worked in with pulseaudio was sound recorder [13:52] gautham, Oh. I get your point. Let me check [13:52] soreau: how do i find it in lsusb? [13:52] Darks7ar: Just type lsusb in your terminal [13:52] jrib: nice guide, and you were right.. $@ passed it through and it works no issue [13:52] i tried to dual boot windows 7 and ubuntu ( ubuntu installed first) but when i set up menu.lst and try to boot windows from grub menu it says BOOTMGR missing Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart any suggestions ? [13:53] PingFloyd: I was thinking to fetch the newest tarball and compile it in a "sandbox" [13:53] its not usb connected its built in my notebook [13:53] tana-lab: yeah, that might be worth a shot [13:53] hannes8151: I am not sure why it would be behaving this way because it should work. Maybe you can try asking in #compiz [13:53] soreau: i typed it in but how do i understand which exactly is the card readeer [13:53] and then make a dep package from that... that last step is all I don't know about [13:53] Darks7ar: Oh well, look at the output of lspci [13:54] ive already done that [13:54] who gameing in china metin2 [13:54] i've* [13:54] PingFloyd: but you say apt-get build-dep's manpage has some guide lines? [13:54] soreau: thank you. [13:54] Darks7ar: I am trying to find out the model of this card reader [13:54] Who from poland? [13:55] gautham, This page has a section on "Offline apt-get update", see if that helps. Might not be super simple, but check it out anyways. : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingSoftware [13:55] soreau: my notebook is acer extensa 5635zg [13:55] tana-lab: apt-get's manpage. There's apt-get build-dep that you can use to bring in the build dependencies [13:55] umang: part of my problem is the fact that the installation medium I used is not with me so I can't even live boot ubuntu [13:55] ah right [13:55] tana-lab: generally the *-dev pkgs that have the needed headers for building said pkg [13:56] I did that for koffice [13:56] Darks7ar: Ok when you put in your sd card and look at the dmesg output, does it say anything about a /dev/ node? [13:56] gautham, Sorry, didn't get you there. Where does the CD come into this? [13:56] :) indeed [13:56] Guys I have a problem with firefox download windows: http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/869/downloadwindowproblem.jpg Do you have any ideia about why this thing is happeing? [13:56] umang: if i need to boot ubuntu live [13:56] tana-lab: the upstream source has possibility to have different dependencies. keep that in mind. [13:56] but [13:57] tana-lab: if the upstream dev is good though, he'll list them [13:57] soreau: nope [13:57] soreau: http://pastebin.com/m30b4f616 here is lspci [13:57] blakkheim, why alot of update with aptitude :) [13:57] PingFloyd: but how do I make the deb package [13:57] gautham, No you don't need to do that. You said you have a computer with internet (with Win or some other linux installed). You can download the packages from there and then bring them back to you Ubuntu machine. [13:57] JulioNeto: i just use a firefox extension that gets rid of that annoying download window and puts the info right above the status bar. Much handier [13:57] tana-lab: easiest way is with checkinstall [13:57] phong_: maybe you haven't updated in a while [13:57] blakkheim, it is still doing the update hahah [13:58] umang: but how do I get list of updates ? [13:58] iirc it's just a tar with some special files in it [13:58] blakkheim, i just install ubuntu x64 [13:58] man. i'm amazed how much difference changing the swappiness makes [13:58] Can I embed HTML pages to GNOME desktop like in... ugh... Window$? [13:58] phong_: ok [13:58] tana-lab: what's funny is I was going to recommend after you get upstream build all sorted out, to use checkinstall to make a deb pkg [13:58] JulioNeto: could be the window manager some how rembering some set size. No idea on what/fix/or other solutions however [13:58] Dr_Willis, it's a good idea... what's the plugin's name? [13:58] gautham, The psedo-repository method outlined in the link I gave you last. [13:58] gautham, end of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingSoftware [13:58] JulioNeto: i forget. some download-bar or somthing. let me look [13:58] PingFloyd: checkinstall hmm... kay... [13:59] gautham, well, not exactly end, but towards the end. ;) [13:59] tana-lab: checkinstall is nice and easy which is fine for personal packages, but if you end up wanting to contribute the pkg to ubuntu/debian, you'll want to follow their packaging standards [13:59] Darks7ar: If you dont receive any errors in dmesg and it said it found the card my guess would be that you just need to do something to access the device. I have never used an sd card reader or sd card before so I dont know exactly where you would look. Try searching google for sd card reader ubuntu [13:59] JulioNeto: i forget. some download-statusbar [14:00] JulioNeto: --> It says --> download-statusbar [14:00] Hey i installed my Webcam drivers and they seems to works correctly (also when i reboot the system) the only problem is that when the system goes suspended then it came back my camera won't works again is anybody able to help me ? [14:00] PingFloyd: :) well I did have have that in mind at the end [14:00] gautham, You will need to create the repository like this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Offline/Repository and then add it to your sources (as explained) then generate the download script and edit it. [14:00] soreau: dmesg gives error thats why i wanted to compile ehci_hcd module [14:00] umang: whoa! sounds like a serious amount of work [14:00] Darks7ar: What error? [14:01] Dr_Willis, tks ;) [14:01] installed my Webcam drivers and they seems to works correctly (also when i reboot the system) the only problem is that when the system goes suspended then it came back my camera won't works again is anybody able to help me ? [14:02] jackbrown: Do not repeat too often. If nobody here knows, nobody answers. Checking the forums at ubuntuforums.org while you wait might be a good idea. [14:02] gautham, It looked like that to me. But over the last couple of minutes, I've realized it isn't so much. Will take you five to ten minutes maybe. Download a couple of files, put them in a folder, add that folder to software sources and then do everything as usual (except you will need to do a find and replace on the download script). [14:02] ok [14:02] wot up [14:02] umang: how can I download "only" the package list ? I mean the updated packages list ? [14:03] soreau: it wasn't error but message and i don't know why but i put it out and in and now i think it worked [14:03] cha`o aad [14:03] cha`o icho [14:03] cha`o shoonya === aad is now known as NamCongtu [14:03] cha`o lewnidas_ [14:03] nasso_: I've only ever had /home encrypted I'm afraid. I don't know of a way to enter thepassword just once. Sorry. [14:03] NamCongtu [14:04] umang: My installation is a vanilla Ubuntu 9.10 and I am trying to get the latest versions of all packages onto it [14:04] Hi people [14:04] someone help me [14:04] <_Narc_> Sorry to ask again folks. Any idea why my 16 GB USB key takes forever to mount (or doesn't mount at all) on my first Ubuntu box and mounts instantly on Win and my other Karmic box ? Thanks a lot. [14:04] gautham, BTW: I haven't done this before, I'm just telling you everything as I read the wiki. It seems to make sense to me so I presume it will work. About the list, just a second. [14:04] I install ubuntu 9.10 desktop i386 [14:04] umang: the method suggested seems like it only downloads the october 2009 versions of the packages [14:04] _Narc_: Might be something with the drivers, although doubt it. [14:04] cha`o edwinrea [14:04] PingFloyd: thanks for the heads up, and suggestions [14:05] !it | NamCongtu [14:05] hola amigos que tal [14:05] NamCongtu: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [14:05] I install ubuntu 9.10 desktop i386 and my CRT would only show 640x480, i installed the latest drivers from nvidias website, now the display is 1600x1200 BUT i seem to have no window manager, i can start a program but it has no border, no minimize maximise or close buttons in the top right hand corner, i cant move the window around [14:05] tana-lab: you're welcome [14:05] cha`o math_b [14:05] cha`o marnold [14:05] Ba^y gio*` la` 21:05:13 Saturday 20/02/2010 [14:05] How can I fix that? [14:05] How can i have a window manager again [14:05] gautham, Oh you run ahead of me. Have you tried going to the karmic-updates and karmic-security folders also? [14:05] (if you are running karmic that is) [14:05] cha`o craigbass1976 [14:05] Hey [14:05] PingFloyd: maybe sid will get a new/updated package in a while ;D [14:05] I'm on hardy, and need to jump up to current. I'm screwed, no? Unless I want to wipe and reinstall... [14:06] tana-lab: yeah, that's another idea -- making your own backport [14:06] <_Narc_> theadmin: I read about that, some bug in the ehci_hcd module, but when I tried to modprobe it, it said "module not found". Also, it's very strange cause both computers are running karmic. [14:06] umang: no I only read the link you gave me and checked my laptop out a bit [14:06] Darks7ar: Cool [14:07] soreau: yep cool but strange also :) [14:07] guys - I have been using LUKS to create encrypted files which I can mount to keep sensitive data in. It is complex but made easier with the lfd shell script http://petaramesh.org/public/arc/projects/lfd/lfd. My question is, what is he recommended Ubuntu method for doing that these days ? [14:07] umang: basically I realize that I need a way to first download package updates information from another computer onto my ubuntu machine [14:07] s/he/the/ [14:07] gautham, OK. So if you get the files they've asked you to (Release, Contents, etc) from the link provided (http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/) then you can create a repository without having to download all the packages on your computer. [14:07] Pidgin no longer appears in the system tray after a reinstall of it [14:08] Darks7ar: Sure beats trying to compile some kernel code without building the kernel :P [14:08] and it crashes at random [14:08] Anyone had this issue? [14:08] :) [14:08] Greyscale: First - go to Tools - Preferences and enable the tray icon there (is it enabled already? it's disabled defaultly) [14:08] tana-lab: one thing I was thinking though, before go through all that trouble, you might go through the problem packages dependencies with a fine tooth comb, it could be a simple case of the pkg maintainer screwing up in putting the right depends in his control file [14:08] Its gone and crashed again \o/ [14:09] nstalled my Webcam drivers and they seems to works correctly (also when i reboot the system) the only problem is that when the system goes suspended then it came back my camera won't works again is anybody able to help me ? [14:09] Currently running Ubuntu 9.10. How do you get that (deleted) (censored) (redacted) (expurgated) update manager to stop popping up? [14:09] gautham, Yes. You're right. So that information is stored in Release, Release.gpg and Contents-i386.gz in karmic/ karmic-updates/ and karmic-security/. Download for all of them. [14:09] tana-lab: and I've seen it where sometimes a program will simply segfault when there is a dependency missing [14:09] gautham, Sorry, am I running ahead? [14:09] wolfwalker_prime: Just a sec [14:09] umang: nope you are not' [14:09] I'm on it just wait a sec [14:09] theadmin, well, that explains the missing icon, but not the continual crashing [14:10] Greyscale: Yeah, maybe it's somewhat unstable. Have no problems myself though [14:10] And why does it even pop up at all in the last two versions? Pop-up is a bad word these days, the icon at the top right that lit up orange was enough. [14:10] Mhh [14:10] gautham, Yes. Those are the files that contain the package information. Put them on your Ubuntu machine and add those dirs as your software sources. Then your repository info is updated. After that you can create your download script [14:10] PingFloyd: I'll check that as well [14:11] wolfwalker_prime: This can be returned. Some just didn't notice it [14:11] jackbrown: put your module name in the MODULES variable in /etc/default/acpid [14:11] umang: will try and report back in 5 mins [14:11] gautham, But the download script will have locations on your computer (because it assumes the whole repo is on your computer). [14:11] PianoPete, okay :( i have everything except /boot encrypted. sucks to have to type the password 3 times though [14:11] but yeah idea is good [14:11] * Zuz|Home is still trying to find someone to help him get wubi to work properly, wubi installed but when the computer is restarted there is no option to select windows xp or ubuntu. Can anyone help me fix this? I think there is a way to manually add wubi to the boot loader but i dont know why... [14:11] gautham, Yeah Sure [14:11] wolfwalker_prime: Run this to return it to tray-icon mode: gconftool -s --type bool /apps/update-notifier/auto_launch false [14:11] erUSUL: how can i do that ? [14:11] erUSUL: what command to check which module is running ? [14:11] jackbrown: with a text editor. « gksudo gedit /etc/default/acpid » [14:12] Thanks. [14:12] wolfwalker_prime: it was a controversial change. Mark Shuttleworth 'mandated it' ccording to the Ubuntu UK podcast series 2 ep 1 or 2. [14:12] jackbrown: lsmod [14:12] nasso_: glad it works. SUpposed to be fixed in lucid anway. [14:12] acpid is an empty file [14:12] Well how about it pops up every oh, say.......... two weeks? [14:12] Instead of every two hours. [14:12] umang: wait a sec, Am I not combining the 3 repos into one ? I think I need to have 3 different folders for mirroring each of the repositories [14:12] hi i have following problem on my ubuntu karmic machine with pulse [14:12] shm_unlink(/pulse-shm-1216269539) failed: Permission denied [14:12] 2010-02-20 15:02:10.271 Deleting UPnP client... [14:12] wolfwalker_prime: It pops up when there are "critical security updates" [14:13] PianoPete, yeah. you cant be careful enough ;) [14:13] anyone has any idea, what could be wrong? [14:13] gautham, I think so. So keep the three of them separately and add each one of them individually to your sources [14:13] tafkaz_73: everything [14:13] * nathan7 hides [14:13] jackbrown: sudo aptitude install acpid [14:13] wolfwalker_prime: I thought it was supposed to pop up once a week if you hadn't run uodate or synaptic in the last 7 days [14:13] nathan7: ? [14:14] EVERYTHING could be wrong [14:14] erUSUL: http://www.pastebin.com/d56b6394 [14:14] ah sorry. now i got you [14:14] Well in 9.04 it popped up every five minutes or so. 9.10 it used to pop up every week, now it's popping up every day. [14:14] * nathan7 pops wolfwalker_prime up [14:15] sudo aptitude install acpid uninstalling something [14:15] well, i have sound and it seems working. the only prob i really have is that this error occurs, when using mythtv quite often. this makes myth very very slow actually [14:15] jackbrown: the module is "uvcvideo" afaics [14:15] how can I make the terminal visible? it stays open for a few secounds and then disppears. what can I do? I use fluxbox. [14:15] i tried to google the thing, but i found nothing [14:15] is there any way to load the kde version of ubuntu when you have the normal gnome version installed [14:16] Ah well. Thanks theadmin. [14:16] tiger_: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [14:16] * wolfwalker_prime grabs a 50 pound sledghammer, pops nathan7 down, tips his hat to the room in general and saunters out the door. [14:16] wolfwalker_prime: have you got some PPAs in your apt sources file for something like chromium or firefox 3.6 ? [14:16] thats easy [14:16] hi guys, sorry quick question how to unzip the .bz2 [14:16] in command [14:17] thanks theadmin [14:17] erUSUL: Wait A minute my camera now isn't working cos i have been suspended, and i installed a r5u87x driver module, it's better me to reboo then run lsmod when camera is working ? [14:17] tar -vxjf ? [14:17] jackbrown: yes [14:17] i'll back in 1 minute wait please [14:17] phong_: bunzip2 [14:17] tnx for helping [14:17] PianoPete, i dont understand how crypttab works, maybe you can help me there? how the hell can the system read from /etc/crypttab when / is encrypted? :) [14:17] phong_: if it is a tar.bz2 ; yes [14:17] phong_: if it is only bzip2 then use bunzip [14:18] * nathan7 denies Access_Denied [14:18] nasso_: that's outside my expertise :-( I only encrypt home. [14:18] ok [14:18] umang: I finished mirroring each repo into a folder. now time to actually try the thing out... [14:19] gautham, Yeah. Tell me if it works.

Is radi under such conditions a good choise is teh far more expensive tape backup a better choise?

[14:56] dizzycat: i do realise that i can do that, but I have a long list of streams that I want to add, so, I'd just like to know where the list is actually stored, so that I can just as easily create a script to import the lines from a server [14:56] gautham, Oh. But that'll have to be for Windows, no? [14:56] stefaan: definitely, yeah. it's especially annoying when accessing different menus (i'm using the netbook remix) - if there was any way to force it to read those menu items at start up and remember them, it'd be great [14:57] anyone had issues installing a realtek rtl8185l wifi card?

[15:43] xfact: strange... did you already try a reinstall of amarok? [15:43] so, my laptop ran out of power and the system shutdown, now when i boot it up ubuntu does a file system check of / no big deal, then it does /home, well the % complete on home is -087356785385% ... I don't have that kind of time, and if i hit esc to cancel the checks, kde won't load and i am stuck at a terminal [15:43] xfact: what exactly you was doing when the error was reported? [15:44] hakaishi, No, now I am uninstalling Amarok, it happened suddenly, even last day it was working fine [15:44] sixzerofour|jps: you need to fsck the disk then [15:44] nm. looks like bluetooth-properties wants to be run as root. [15:44] sick. [15:44] how do i do that SolarisBoy ? [15:44] i got ubutnu yesterday [15:44] sixzerofour|jps: let the fsck operation complete next time be patient [15:45] why is it saying like -9388976986% complete? [15:45] isaquealves, Nothing spacial, I just opened Amarok today and it showed this message! [15:45] is there an easy way to swap out to a low latency kernel without basically reinstalling? [15:45] sixzerofour|jps: thats odd output regardless of whatever,, it sounds that you need to correct FS errors [15:45] fs? [15:46] file system [15:46] File System [15:46] how dfo i do all that? [15:46] I have to much program in my PC, I think I should uninstall some useless programs, may be those are conflicting with each other! [15:46] <_Narc_> Sorry to ask again folks. Any idea why my 16 GB USB key takes forever to mount (or doesn't mount at all) on my first Ubuntu box and mounts instantly on Win and my other Karmic box ? Thanks a lot. [15:46] kde started..now lets see if it loads properly this time [15:46] xfact: I don't really believe that. [15:46] xfact: so, I think that, if it was working before, probably, your amarok config was damaged... [15:46] it was happening,, you stopped it,, when you get dropped back to that terminal,, is the reason kde wont load most likely [15:46] _Narc_ have you tried other things in the same drive you are mounting it in that goes slow? [15:47] hakaishi, I am newand do not understand technical matters, so this is my thinking... [15:47] yeah the kde laoding thing is stuck on the HD icon apparently [15:47] I tried setting up Ubuntu 9.10 to work for dual monitors. I logged out, and now its telling me it couldn't find the right graphics configuration and it asks me if I want to run in low graphics mode. Can anyone help me getting back to the original settings? [15:47] xfact: If isaquealves is right, then a reinstallation might really do the trick. [15:47] you dont need to uninstall, just rm the old user conf [15:48] any ideas SolarisBoy? [15:48] hi all - new kubuntu install here, but I think my question isn't kubuntu specific - I connect to the net via wireless... would like to mount a samba share, just want to know the easiest/best way to do it...? The network interface in dolphin is nice but I'd like to run a few of my folders as if they were local (my music collection, for example...) [15:48] isaquealves: is correct [15:48] <_Narc_> nyaa: Sorry I don't get what you mean :) [15:48] isaquealves: xfact already uninstalled it... [15:48] sixzerofour|jps: i just informed you [15:48] sixzerofour|jps: fsck the disk [15:48] !fsck [15:48] fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [15:48] isaquealves, yup, but I am very basic user and this is my personal PC (nobody else uses that) so it is very strange that it damaged itself! [15:48] _Narc_ perhaps the problem is the port, have you tested it with other drives to see if it goes faster or is still slow? [15:48] hi all [15:49] and if it matters, i could suggest you to use exaile or rhythmbox (the default player...) [15:49] how can i get to a terminal? [15:49] i know there is an alt+f command for it [15:49] <_Narc_> nyaa: Oh, ya, I tested it with 4 four different USB ports and my other 8 GB key works like a charm. [15:49] hakaishi, I do not have plan to reinstall it again, rhythambox is enough for groove, well thanks for showing interest :) [15:49] CTRL + ALT + F1 [15:49] can anyone help me with my firefox and ubunto [15:50] sixzerofour|jps: alt+f2 ? [15:50] Thanks to you too, isaquealves :) [15:50] I have a question about GNOME power manager. It says in help that action is only taken when CPU is idle. Whats the default threshold for idle and where do i change it? (I've checked gconf-editor and i didn't find anything) [15:50] sixzerofour|jps: had you not stated that after you cancel the fix that runs automagically,, you get dropped to a shell? [15:51] Installing KDE apps in gnome can cause problems? [15:51] LateralForce: no afaik [15:51] <_Narc_> nyaa: The strange thing is that it mounts perfectly on my older box but very slowly or not at all on my first Ubuntu system... And both use Karmic.

[16:09] power loss can cause issues like that,, not often [16:09] sure, but, fsck comes up clean [16:09] SolarisBoy: Actually when using grooveshark firefox uses ~20% cpu ^^ and it still suspends..

[16:23] umang: sorry, it's update-alternatives and kind of tricky, use galternatives, is much easier [16:23] it worked isaquealves thankies! [16:23] dust_t: though its off topic it is webapps [16:23] now back to my original problem... [16:24] sixzerofour|jps: what is your 'original problem'? [16:24] guntbert, Uh, bzr automatically chooses vim now, but I want to know why (I know how to change it back to nano by adding a line to .bashrc). [16:24] _Narc_: maybe it is compiled in (not a module anymore) [16:24] I am having trouble with my second screen, i plugged into my laptop and it works fine but when i move the mouse the second screen moves, like the whole desktop moves if im ove the mouse against an edge of the screen, this only happens on the second screen,, how can i fix this?

[16:26] adalal: check the syntax [16:26] guntbert, (like I asked VCoolio) is there a pecking order in bzr that selects vim before nano and I don't have a default editor? printenv | grep "vim" returns nothing. [16:27] umang: couldn't it be that installing vim changed the order for xdg-open? that's what update-alternatives is about; so what has changed? $EDITOR, xdg-open, gnome-open? [16:27] or is launchpad for software only? [16:27] anyone know how to get keyboard working with PCSX?

My only question is, how did update-alternatives change the default to vim without me asking it to?

[17:49] CkhiKuzad ls /media/disk-1 and use pastebin.com [17:49] guntbert: its gfortran script im not a programmer who program it [17:49] Roasted: as to murrine, there may be a PPA that will get you a more recent version, but if you want to install from git, you'll have to be comfortable with compiling stuff. [17:49] I have only root user in my system, in /etc/passwd file I changed root's shell to /usr/bin/bash [17:49] help. How do I install my sound driver modules? They seem to be missing, so I have no sound [17:49] now its throwing no shell error when I try to login. how do I fix this problem:( Its a virtualbox appliance on an AMD machine [17:49] Sensiva i know how to use pastebin, its two lines, and i've limited ram, i cant run firefox and xchat, and nautilus, and a terminal on a livecd [17:50] sriramoman: why is bash installed in /usr instead of /? [17:50] DS1: aha - what program does it need? [17:50] cellofellow, well, I didnt compile anything on my laptop, and I have Murrine GIT. I want to get it on my other two Ubuntu machines and I dont know how. But like I said, I never compiled, or added a PPA... [17:50] Sensiva i ls'ed [17:50] guntbert: he made it into a exe file for me [17:50] CkhiKuzad did it show the files? [17:50] ok sorted [17:50] yes it did Sensiva [17:50] how do i reverse a sudo useradd ? [17:50] JoeSomeBuddy: userdel [17:50] cellofellow: that's the mistake I made in the file! :( [17:51] I am trying to move my system to my new RAID. But I fail in moving grub2! [17:51] guntbert: cant i just uninstall the program then set new directory to install? [17:51] guntbert: i know how to uninstall it [17:51] sriramoman: ok, glad we fixed that :) [17:51] I'd need some help there. [17:51] thanks [17:51] CkhiKuzad mount | grep sda1 [17:51] A hypothetical situation. One installed a metapackage and did not like what was in it. How does one remove this package AND everything else it installed? [17:51] apt-get purge [17:51] cellofellow: but now I am unable to login! how do I fix the case:( [17:51] I would know how to do that in grub version 1 but grub2 does not seem to like me. [17:51] /dev/sda1 on / type ext3 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro) [17:51] sensiva [17:51] theadmin: you have to find all its dependencies and remove those [17:52] !list [17:52] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [17:52] coz the thing is that the entry is wrong! [17:52] DS1: I asked about the other program - no you cannot reinstall it into a different directory (not with apt & co at least) [17:52] sriramoman: why are you unable to login? [17:52] IsmAvatar: Hm... interesting. Say, I have kubuntu-desktop, so I sudo apt-get purge kubuntu-desktop and it will remove KDE and all crap that comes with it? [17:52] I'm having issues importing my ssh keys into seahorse. It keeps saying that the file has an invalid file format. [17:52] cellofellow, it's not possible to install the additions without virtualbox-ose and all the depends, right ? [17:52] sriramoman: the password shouldn't be in /etc/passwd, but in /etc/shadow, and it should be hashed and salted (an encryption system). [17:53] melodie_: don't think so. I've never used the ose, just the proprietary. [17:53] guntbert: its a exe file which i run which is set to read a certain file under the directory set [17:53] ok, i gksudoed nautilus to open the folder. now in the gui set permissions [17:53] sudo apt-get install xchat [17:53] backuppc owns the folder [17:53] theadmin: not sure. Usually, purge just removes the package and directly associated packages, and then removes any leftover orphans [17:53] how do i set it so users can access it? [17:53] cellofellow: coz in passwd file I gave entry as /usr/bin/bash instead of /bin/bash :( [17:53] and other entries are fine! [17:53] sensiva: i got this:/dev/sda1 on / type ext3 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro) [17:53] CkhiKuzad try mkdir /media/disk-1/boot then grub-install --root-directory=/media/disk-1 hd0 [17:53] sriramoman: oh [17:54] sriramoman: probably best to load up a livecd and edit the /etc/passwd file that way, then. [17:54] DS1: yes, and please if you want help don't fuss around (a certain..) - tell me what program is needed, then we can copy it to your home dir [17:54] following a guide on samba i did - sudo useradd -s /bin/true myname and it says i already exist, what is -s /bin/true? [17:54] no, I don't have access to any sort of external drive! [17:54] cellofellow, when I apt-getted to virtualbox-guest-additions it brought the bunch of the rest with it [17:54] is that the only resort? [17:54] melodie_: oh, good [17:54] i've done chroot to this drive Sensiva, so if i do that, it will create basically /media/disk-1/media/disk-1/boot [17:54] sriramoman: hmm :( [17:54] whatever it is i cant do it, because i already exist :) [17:54] guntbert: he made the script using gfortran and its for a program called gmsh [17:54] cellofellow, I also have the proprietary version, in which is this ubuntu installed. ;'D [17:55] sriramoman: do any of the other users have sudo access? [17:55] melodie_: there is #vbox too - is this about installing the guest additions? [17:55] it has only root user!:D [17:55] guntbert, it's about getting 1024x768 instead of 800x600 in Ubuntu Xfce, which is in a vbox machine [17:55] CkhiKuzad okay try to creat boot folder on /dev/sda1 by any mean then run grub-install --root-directory=/media/disk-1 hd0 [17:55] sriramoman: well, unless you can find some attack that will root the box (maybe just booting into single-user mode aka recovery mode will work) [17:56] sriramoman: ...unless you can root the box, you're screwed, I guess. [17:56] no, the single-user mode didn't help!:( [17:56] I heard that Linux will stop using chmod-like system and switch to some "ACL", is it true? [17:56] sriramoman: you really don't have a USB drive you can run a live system from, or anything? [17:56] Does ClamAV update automatically every day or something? Each time I open it I have updated defintiions and I never update it myself. [17:56] there IS a boot folder on this drive, it has vmlinuz and initrd. i need to know the command to just reinstall grub by default [17:57] CkhiKuzad what livecd are you using? [17:57] cellofellow: no, this is actually a remote system, and of now I can't get anyone to insert any physical media :-| [17:57] 9.04 [17:57] My battery status applet on my panel is not always detecting when I unplug my laptop [17:57] sriramoman: dang, that sucks. So, if it's a remote system, is it a vps or collocated box or something? [17:58] CkhiKuzad https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto#Backup,%20Repairing%20and%20Reinstalling%20GRUB [17:58] DS1: well - you *could* deinstall gmsh and try to compile it yourself from source - the you have complete control over the installation [17:58] *then [17:58] guntbert: ok ty [17:58] help, i am almost done samba, following a guide on samba i did - sudo useradd -s /bin/true myname and it says i already exist, what is -s /bin/true? whatever it is i cant do it, because i already exist :) [17:58] why is my windows partiton located in //computer ,as opposed to /media ? [17:58] alright, thanks sensiva. [17:58] Can I reinstall GRUB on a Karmic system from a Jaunty CD? [17:58] cellofellow: no, it is not, but my friend, who's system it is, has gone to sleep:P its almost midnight here;) [17:59] melodie_: if it is not solved - please join me in #vbox [17:59] DS1: Good luck :-) [17:59] CkhiKuzad let me know how far did you get [17:59] sriramoman: looks like you'll just have to wait till he wakes up, then. Sorry. :'( [17:59] ysmn2: I think computer is a pseudo-folder listing all attached devices [17:59] sheesh fine:( [18:00] nobody can help me with my sound problem? [18:00] theadmin: ysmn2: yeah, in nautilus computer:// is a virtual folder that shows mounted devices. [18:00] Some_Person: You shouldn't do so, Karmic is better with GRUB2, Jaunty uses GRUB1. Although Karmic CAN use GRUB1, but you really better not to === john__ is now known as sewey [18:00] crap i think im getting the lag of death [18:00] theadmin: I never upgraded to GRUB2 [18:00] theadmin: so I was using GRUB1 all along [18:01] cellofellow, mounted devices are classifed separately than media ? [18:01] yes, i cant touch any thing in my status bar. thats what happens with firefox on this damn liveCD [18:01] Can you use the Ubuntu 9.0 Desktop CD as a boot into a system? [18:01] Some_Person: should be able to just use grub-install [18:01] ysmn2: well, devices automatically mounted by the volume management system get mount in /media and then show in computer://. [18:01] why cant i create folders in usr directory [18:01] Unfortunately I lost my Karmic CD and I haven't been able to get wifi working in the live Jaunty environment [18:02] NemesisKaiser: yes - thats why its called live CD too [18:02] CkhiKuzad okay in terminal do grub [18:02] i cant get to my terminal [18:02] Some_Person: then just plug in to wired if you can. [18:02] DS1: you want to d/l and compile in your home dir [18:02] cellofellow: Inconvienent [18:02] my livecd just used the last of my RAM to run firefox [18:02] i'm looking for a good quality usb webcam that works in ubuntu - does anyone know which are good? I can't find any ubuntu-specific recent reviews... [18:02] cellofellow, cool thanks man [18:02] Some_Person: so is having a broken grub. [18:03] cellofellow: Does grub-install use /dev/sdx partition scheme or hd(x) scheme? [18:03] CkhiKuzad exit firefox [18:03] Some_Person: the unix /dev stuff. [18:03] Well, I am trying to boot another computer using the CD I burned yesterday, but it's not doing it. [18:04] Hm, while GRUB itself is using hd(0,1) scheme... strange [18:04] im just going to reboot, and try the grub install thing [18:04] cellofellow: so `sudo grub-install /dev/sda5' should install it to the partition's bootsector? [18:04] Some_Person: yes [18:04] !md5sum | NemesisKaiser did you check? [18:04] NemesisKaiser did you check?: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [18:04] CkhiKuzad much better [18:04] sensiva if it works, i will be coming back on in ubuntu [18:04] cellofellow: ok, thank you very much === BorisK_ is now known as Boris`auf`Arbeit [18:05] guntbert: i dont think i wil need to compile, i think it will run if i make new bin directory but it says permission denied? [18:05] hi, I can't type chars like "è" or "à" in my terminal. The goal is to rename a directory and I'm sshing to some remote box. I suspect I have to fiddle with locales but I'm not sure [18:05] hi there. I am wondering where rhytmbox saves covers? I just found /a folder called home/blabla/.cache/rhythmbox/covers. But in it are just a few (maybe 15 of my 500 covers) [18:06] any ideas? [18:06] Silex: The system you are sshing might not have the corresponding symbols available. If you're getting squares or question marks, this is likely. So yeah, locales are most likely [18:06] DS1: as I don't really understand what you are trying to do I have to give up - sorry [18:06] I need some help with grub2! [18:07] guntbert: i simply tried to do dipesh@home:/usr/share/doc/gmsh$ mkdir bin [18:07] theadmin: locale -a shows that fr_CH and all variety of utf8 stuffs is installed. It juts goes "bing" when I press the key, as if the ssh client refused to type it [18:07] how to switch between keyboard layout [18:07] or language [18:07] Silex: Well, never actually used ssh so I'm firing in the dark here [18:07] agdoku http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275 [18:08] looksharp: setxkbmap [18:08] DS1: why? but if you think you *really* must please use sudo mkdir ....

[18:08] guntbert: oops forgot sudo [18:09] What am I looking for? I'm sorta new to linux-based stuff, so excuse any comments and such that might seem odd. [18:09] guntbert: how do i paste the files into this new direc? [18:10] NemesisKaiser: have you set it to boot from CD in the bios? [18:10] looksharp: for example: 'setxkbmap us colemak' puts me in colemak, and then 'setxkbmap us' reverts to us. I'd recommend copy-pasting the first half if you try colemak without being familiar with it :-P [18:10] Yes. [18:10] NemesisKaiser: what files are on the CD?

[18:30] and it wont let me insmod [18:30] tm512: if lscpic can't see it as a device - it's not going to work [18:31] tm512: if it is not listed in lspci, then something is very wrong [18:31] emma: I suggest you have a look at htop or top to see what clogs the system [18:31] tm512, is it in the kernel ? [18:31] sensiva, any thoughts on getting past my boot problem? [18:31] i have no clue [18:31] i just installed 9.10 server [18:31] hey guys ... is this working http://chillville.costaeye.com:8000/ [18:31] tm512: there is no point progressing anything unless lspci shows it [18:31] it is in kernel [18:31] zcat /proc/config.gz | grep xxxx [18:31] lookitsdre I guess you have a hardware problem, may be not, unfortunately I won't be able to help [18:31] screw it, i'm going to see if i can convert everything i have to a tar archive, and then if its more than 2 gigs, im dividing it up to put it on seperate drives [18:31] where xxxx is the name of the module [18:31] tm512, [18:32] what should lspci say? [18:32] zcat /proc/config.gz | grep xxxx [18:32] melodie_: that doesn't matter if lspci can't see it [18:32] tm512: hotplug / pcmcia enabled? [18:32] np, thanks for the moment and have a great day! [18:32] tm512: it should list your device or an unkown ethernet controller [18:32] i dont know [18:32] ikonia, with lspci -v as root ? [18:32] it doesny [18:32] tm512, lspci -v as root ?

I have stubborn card reader, that needs to load hotplug module [18:34] enkidu: there is no point loading a module if lspci doesn't see it [18:34] I have minicom properly configured but nothing ever shows when I plug in my Cisco device. I read that there was a bug with Hardy and Cisco devices but it never says it was resolved so is it impossible to use Cisco with Ubuntu? [18:34] ikonia: my card reader is not shown unless I load hotplug [18:34] llutz, ok [18:34] so there IS point [18:34] enkidu: that's nonsense [18:35] enkidu: lspci is a flat file database so doesn't care what kernel modules are loaded [18:35] lspci -v shows the cardbus adapter, no ethernet interface [18:35] does ubuntu have some nice/easy way to set up permissions for input devices like game pads or so i have to make udev rules? [18:35] tm512: can you pastebin it please [18:35] ikonia: lspci shows devices enabled on bus, pcmcia/pci-x devices can be disabled by bios [18:35] ax: udev is your friend [18:35] no, the computers not hooked up to the internet -_- [18:35] enkidu: yes, so if they are disabled in the bios - loading a module will do nothing [18:36] and the device lights up and everything [18:36] <_Nacho_> does anybody knows if is there a solution for the wifi issue (1Mb/s speed) with RT8710 chipset? [18:36] ikonia: nonsense. I am loading hotplug module and devices are reenabled [18:36] enkidu: lspci is dumb - if a device is "in" the system it should show up [18:37] could someone just pm me? i can hardly read this with all the join/leave messages [18:37] holy hell [18:37] ikonia: lspci can miss hotpluggable devices - hotplug module can enable them and then they can show up in lspci [18:37] my /boot/vmlinuz and /boot/initrd are missing! [18:37] tm512: what is your client? [18:37] enkidu: yes, if the bus is not visable (eg no module) it won't see them, but then loading the module still won't work until that module is loaded [18:37] Hello.

[20:22] did i insult your wife? [20:22] JoeSomeBuddy: stop trying to guilt people into helping you. If you would actually answer people's questions and focus on your problem, you are more likely to get help. But remember, everyone here is a volunteer and answers aren't always known. [20:23] JowSomeBuddy: What's the issue? [20:23] ZykoticK9, I killed the dead window but I can't reload the program. Its webcamstudio [20:23] i am upset, because i got BAD HELP here earlier [20:23] ubuntnub, to find out what adapter you have, in a terminal "lspci | grep Ethernet" [20:23] JoeSomeBuddy, did you run the findsmb command? [20:23] JoeSomeBuddy: why are you taking it out on the people here now... [20:23] Can anyone help me solve an ipod problem? I have gone through the ubuntu help page, and it did not work.

[20:26] ZykoticK9 nothing really shows up, but ps aux shows 2 defunct process [20:26] I don't remember exactly the syntax for mount.cifs, the man page will tell you, just supply it with the options that findsmb gives you for the share you want. [20:27] ZykoticK9, whew! could have been rm ;] [20:27] Also if you get permission errors, sudo them. I don't know which commands need root. [20:27] Devrethman, did that says already there [20:27] con-man, use either "kill PID#" or "killall PROCESSNAME" of the defunct stuff [20:27] JowSomeBuddy: says what's already where?

[20:34] guntbert, webcam studio froze on my screen and I couldnt get rid of it, I used xkill to make it go away, still cant reload it. I do notice a couple defunct processes though. Jave and npviewer [20:35] con-man, my guess is that the defunct processes are a redherring, likely unrelated to the program refusing to restart.

When I open sources.list and try to save, it doesn't let me. I think it's because of the permissions. Do I need to use sudo or something in order to be able to edit the file? Thanks!

[20:44] purpzey, I've read the page [20:44] It doesn't help. [20:44] guntbert, however htop shows it trying to load and java is being used. if Jave is currently defunct, would that not explain why it wont load [20:45] JoeSomeBuddy, the smbpasswd command will create the permissions, etc required to allow windows users to access your shares.

[20:46] con-man: not necessarily - I wouldn't expect that - but if the program freezes every time at the same point, I'd suggest you talk to the author - be sure that zombies by themselves are no problem - rather a symptom (or even a red herring) [20:47] scary - cant protect without putting a password in a text file? [20:47] what am i testing dan? [20:47] greezmunkey: I abdicate to your expertise, b/c I am positively certain that you know more than I do. But, couldn't JoeSomebody set "security = share" to see if samba worked better that way, at least temporarily? [20:47] Hey it worked! Thanks! [20:47] DanDare, you really shouldn't be asking this channel to test like this - but no, same error "Database Error: Unable to connect to the database:Could not connect to database" [20:48] ZykoticK9, ok thanks. Will not ask anymore... [20:48] Thanks Pepee, Histo, that other guy, and that other person. I couldn't restore my /boot/ directory, but i reinstalled instead. [20:48] purpzey, I'm no expert, just felt the pain, I would certainly set that to see if it helps! [20:49] JoeSomebody: As per your samba issue, you could try changing "security = USER" to "security = SHARE" it would not require a logon to access your share, but I've found that it works well for me on a secure home network. [20:49] Can anyone tell me why my ipod mounts as a digital camera device through gphotos? And if so, PLEASE tell me how I can change the settings to recognize my ipod touch as an ipod? [20:49] DanDare, just an FYI it's redirecting to http://www.minasambiente.com.br/nma/ [20:50] hi [20:50] ZykoticK9, that´s right. Its my domain name [20:50] can someone go here? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently i cant ask questions unless you go there [20:50] hello> [20:50] I have a problem with xscreensaver, I'm running Ubuntu version 9.10 Live CD. When I try to do lock the screen, And then move the mouse, It instantly shows the desktop, but I expected it to prompt for a password. [20:50] Does anyone know if it is possible to use (not install and run) ubuntu one when i am on windows? i'm planning to reinstall windows on a partition tomorrow, and i wanted to know if i could use it [20:50] does anybody know how to access to https webpages? [20:50] ZykoticK9, seting up site on a VM until i replace debian for ubuntu server on main machine [20:51] jgcp, perhaps look in system -> preferences -> preferred applications -> multimedia ? [20:51] lightme, firefox? [20:51] purpzey, what you are saying sounds like loosining security? [20:51] yeah, but it says connection failed [20:52] JoeSomeBuddy, it is a home network, right? [20:52] Anyone know if you can install a printer on a headless 9.10 box? [20:52] JoeSomebody: Yes, you would be allowing anyone to access the shared folder as opposed to users...but if it's a small home network then it would be OK, but unquestionably, yes, it is less secure. [20:52] lightme, is the server up? [20:52] is your internet connection ok? [20:52] I'm trying to share an hp laserjet p1006 on a headless samba box. [20:52] that's right [20:53] quentusrex_: Sure. Install cups, and then hit http://:631/ and then set it all up. [20:53] lightme, the error is not in firefox that is 99,9 % [20:53] thanks Dunkirk [20:53] ppl all around the world use ssl in firefox daily [20:53] greezmunkey, yes [20:53] loops, i have tried that [20:53] mostly windows machines [20:54] i hope to someday make them all linux [20:54] yeah,well i suppose that the port is blocked..but i dont know how to unblock it [20:54] JoeSomeBuddy, typically in a home network you trade security for convenience [20:54] greezmunkey, sounds bad [20:55] JoeSomeBuddy, But, it's your box - run it any way you want. [20:55] CkhiKuzad, i remember reading about a Windows client for U1 don't remember if it was just in development or something - certainly can't find it right now. But you can always use the Web Interface from Windows. [20:55] lightme, try to telnet to the host on the ssl port [20:55] Security is about trust. You trust the people living in your home, it shouldn't be a problem. [20:55] telnet 443 [20:55] how do i find my current ubuntu version [20:55] JoeSomebody: You just want to MOUNT windows shares on your Ubuntu box? [20:55] i am disappointed i want better than win security , not worse [20:55] coldpizza72i, "lsb_release -a" [20:55] lightme, you should get a tcp connect [20:55] JoeSomebody: Not SHARE them, right? [20:55] if not - there is a block [20:56] JoeSomeBuddy, besides, it's not like your giving them exec privs, they can simply trade files. [20:56] Dunkirk, yes but i dont want to be hacked by my ignorance [20:56] ZykoticK9: i've tried using it, its just a blank screen, it seems like it needs the ubuntu one thing installed [20:56] CkhiKuzad, it shouldn't [20:56] JoeSomebody: Then all this talk about setting samba to "share" security is wrong. That's for a server. YOu want to run as a client. [20:57] JoeSomebody: What's not working in the link you posted? [20:57] i want only one user allowed on all machines, and no "guests" [20:57] greezmunkey, i want only one user allowed on all machines, and no "guests" [20:58] Dunkirk, Joe is set up as a standalone server! [20:58] greezmunkey: Sorry. I'm realizing that I'm coming into this in the middle. [20:58] Dunkirk, No no that's fine [20:59] Dunkirk, just that what he originally asked for was for ppl to connect to his Ubuntu box. [20:59] greezmunkey, remember Joe is set up by an idiot (me) with an old guide [20:59] Are there any archiving programs that work like TAR (i.e. minimal compression) but don't require reading the entire file to list contents? [20:59] greezmunkey, do i want standalone server? what is the diff? [20:59] I'm having a really hard time with Wine and Steam. I'm running 9.10 and I had to re-install because of how unstable my system became after installing Wine... [21:00] .. and steam I guess. [21:00] i been guessing stuff all day LOL (that makes me nervous too) [21:00] lots of app freezes. [21:00] JoeSomebody: It may help to install "swat" to help you configure, but, yeah, if you want to get your Ubuntu files on your Windows computers, your smb.conf should be about 3 lines. [21:00] JoeSomeBuddy, It's ok, can you access a shared folder on the Winbox from your Ubox? [21:01] Ubuntunewb, outside of Wine too? [21:01] Ubuntunewb: Sorry, but that old dog don't hunt. Your steam may have been crashy, but it wasn't giving you any problems in Linux-land. [21:01] greezmunkey, in network i can browse what i want [21:01] free linux support: Your problems don't exist, you're just trying to slander our operating system. [21:01] yeah, outside of wine as well [21:01] i cant seem to get flash working on my amd 64bit ubuntu karmic [21:02] Can someone link me to places with good AptOnCD ISOs for Ubuntu 9.10 ? [21:02] coldpizza: I got the same system setup, download flash from the Ubuntu software center [21:02] JoeSomeBuddy, so the issue is from Winbox to Ubox, correct? [21:02] coldpizza72i: Get the newest version of 64-bit Flash from Adobe's site and put it in your local config's "plugins" directory. [21:02] greezmunkey, but do i not need to do this ? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently === jon is now known as Guest71314 [21:03] JoeSomebody: That guide is about mounting WINDOWS files on your LINUX box. I thought you wanted to go the other way. [21:03] Dunkirk, both ways [21:03] Ubuntunewb: Ok, I'll bite. What problems? [21:04] i have 8 drives to map [21:04] dunkirk whers the mozilla folder at [21:04] JoeSomeBuddy, not really. If you can browse to the WinShare, then do that when you need access - don't worry about a permanent connection! [21:04] ??? //servername/sharename /media/mountname cifs guest,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8,codepage=unicode,unicode 0 0 [21:04] Wine and steam don't play well is all... but... come to think of it I can survive without TF2. [21:04] coldpizza72i: ~/.mozilla/firefox/.default/plugins/ [21:04] this is where i get lost, [21:05] its for mom, my mom need super simple [21:05] LOL, thanks for your help, i've solved it, the only thing i did, was accept the certificate [21:05] i am crazy to try this huh [21:05] JoeSomeBuddy, WHat does your mom need to access on your Ubox? [21:05] she dont know win either really [21:06] JoeSomebody: I would try to just use one computer for all the files, and make only one set of computers mount the other. That way you only need to do this in one direction for the moment. [21:06] she is going to be this box [21:06] dunkirk dont u mean usr/lib instead of ~/. [21:06] JoeSomebody: You aren't crazy. I do this sort of thing all the time, but it _is_ tricky. [21:06] she is tired of xp crashes and viruses [21:06] JoeSomeBuddy, wow, I'd give her the winbox! [21:06] coldpizza72i: You can put it system-wide if you want, but I try to avoid putting manual files in system locations. [21:07] she has dual boot, likes the idea of linux a lot [21:07] Once I finally got TF2 downloaded through steam on Wine, it would run, but it couldn't find any internet servers. when I tried making my own server, before start It would give a sound error and lock up. I'd have to xkill wine after that, and once I did the whole system became unstable even when wine wasen't running. [21:07] coldpizza72i: Just personal preference. However, you will need to put the plugin in all your browser plugin directories because of this. [21:07] Can someone link me to places with good AptOnCD ISOs for Ubuntu 9.10 ? === Fran is now known as Guest34423 [21:07] JoeSomeBuddy, Well, good luck - I have to log out. [21:07] but its me worried about her security, and about her being a possible attack entry point [21:08] Holaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! [21:09] vhjv [21:09] greezmunkey, thx [21:09] JoeSomebody: You're not talking about sharing files between the Linux and Windows setups on the same box, are you? [21:09] JoeSomeBuddy, if you are worried about that, set her XP up clean, then clone the drive, and let her run it into the ground. That way you can reload her PC quickly. Then sever any network connection between the two PC's. [21:10] permanent connection is needed by all to all === jhattara_ is now known as jhattara [21:11] is this the right place for a newbie to come and ask a question?

[21:11] Hey I've got another question. I haven't had any luck getting btnx to install, so can someone help me get it installed or can someone recommend a different program to get the other buttons on my mouse to work? Thanks.

[21:12] john__, it sure is [21:12] toc toc [21:12] files get backed up daily and other reasons [21:12] koshari: Don't use ubuntu on the machine with internet [21:12] coldpizza72i: Yikes. That can get fun. YOu might want to look into alsaconf to turn on your optical output. [21:13] coldpizza72i: Oops, alsamixer, I mean. [21:13] And I am pretty sure that there MUST be DVD or CD releases from the community where ppl post their compilations of software [21:13] GREAT! i have an nvidia card and when i start some games my resolution gets set too high and screen says input not supported [21:13] i know roughly how safe windows is or is not, how can i learn to tighten up ubuntu for her? best webpage even? [21:13] JoeSomebody: Then I totally agree with greezmonkey, you'll just want "security=share" in your smb.conf on the Linux side. Anything else is going to be too hairy. [21:14] john__, may I ask what games? [21:14] JoeSomebody: Unless you're allowing MS sharing ports through your firewall (445, et. al.), you won't be hacked. [21:14] Does anyone know a good mouse button configuration program? [21:14] Dunkirk, will that allow "anyone" in? [21:14] nm [21:14] haha [21:14] well ive only been using ubuntu for 3 days so i tried some of the games like galaga on the download section and it went black [21:15] JoeSomebody: Anyone that can get to the service, which is only people on your local network. If you have wifi, you may want to rethink that. [21:15] john__, in Hardware Drivers does it show Nvidia as being activated? [21:15] anyone know how to restart or reload iptables configuration? or are they realtime? [21:15] i should also note that i had the black screen at startup at first but i tinkered with it till that stopped...somehow [21:15] do you recommend a firewall software? i use kaspersky full business on win [21:16] hi [21:16] i mean shoudl ubuntu users use a firewall? [21:16] ill check [21:16] package ^ [21:16] JoeSomebody: What's your internet connection? [21:16] dunkirk, whats the command to run alsamixer [21:16] JoeSomeBuddy: you dont need to use a firewall, esp. if you're behind a nat [21:17] got a nat, and fast cable internet [21:17] coldpizza72i: alsamixer. But you probably need to install it. It's a command line program, but it gives LOTS more options for your sound card than the usual gnome GUI tool. [21:17] adalal: how do you manage the rules? [21:17] JoeSomebody: Then don't worry about firewalls internally. [21:17] JoeSomebody: I even shut off the Windows firewall on my Win machines. I've never even had a virus. [21:18] I seem to have a circular dependency with apt... )-: http://paste.roguecoders.com/p/b6aab8f87297f47c6a306b394951e9c3.txt [21:18] any idea how I can beat it into submission? [21:18] i guess i am just worried NOW that a linux expert can compromise the box easy on me, perhaps i am being paraniod [21:18] ok checked my hardware drivers it lists nvidia accelerated graphics driver 185 as being in use but it also lists 2 older ones not being used [21:19] my lack of knowledge of linux scares me :) [21:19] ever since I've installed Ubuntu, both 9.04 and 9.10 crash my home network from time to time. whenever i watch a youtube vid or something, firefox becomes ridiculously slow, stops responding, internet stops working, and then the internet on all the other computers stop as well [21:19] scoates: Try "aptitude" instead of "apt-get". That's always my first pass. [21:19] john__, 185 "should" be fine [21:19] dunkirk, got it running, now what should i do [21:19] anyone already installed ubuntu in a notebook toshiba satelite u505s2965wh [21:19] * scoates tries aptitude -f install [21:19] maybe i just need a better monitor lol [21:19] coldpizza72i: Well, spacebar will turn things on and off. Look for an "optical" something-or-other. [21:20] Ugh [21:20] Can anyone help me with http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=455656 [21:20] I've tried both options, compile from source and binary package and I can't get either to work. === bobbywilson0_ is now known as bobbywilson0 [21:20] !here | InsaneMonkey02 [21:20] InsaneMonkey02: Please give at least an overview of your problem *here* (all in one line) - you will get a much greater audience. If you have to use more than 3 lines, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com [21:21] thanks people, (sorry i was grumpy) time for food, got something real fun for later to try to make work, ati remote wonder, and nvidia tv out, a guy in ##linux says its possible [21:21] i just wish there was a setting somewhere that i could limit the max resolution my graphics card would allow [21:21] so fantastically stupid question.... can ubuntu run windows apps? I've had no luck running .exe's [21:22] socratesthekid: If you install Wine... [21:22] socratesthekid: with wine. [21:22] does anyone have any ideas why Ubuntu causes my whole home network to crash whenever i view online videos or multimeddia rich sites?

If you have to use more than 3 lines, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com [21:22] socratesthekid: You may want to check out Virtualbox... [21:23] Helsinkiii: Sounds like your Ubuntu box is the connection for the rest of the network? [21:23] socratesthekid: not all Windows apps will work in Wine, or you got to configure a lot of stuff before it works well. anyway if you do a Windows virtual machine, you can run real Windows inside another OS, and that will run most Windows apps fine, 3D games may be a bit of an issue, but Virtualbox has a bit of support [21:23] Dunkirk: i'm just a node [21:23] socatesthekid:virtualbox is a better solution IMO. although having usb issues here, but installing apps no problem [21:23] socratesthekid: my experience with wine improved with the lates version [21:23] Dunkirk: i get the internet via wifi (wifi card) [21:24] Dunkirk: we have a cable modem, and a wireless router that is connected to an XP machine [21:24] I actually need to reinstall windows onto a netbook, and i've had no luck making a liveusb, and I can't run the installer program at the moment [21:24] anyone already installed ubuntu in a notebook toshiba satelite u505s2965wh? [21:24] jugglerbry: VirtualBox and me aren't getting along, especially with serial port issues. [21:24] socratesthekid: well if you got enough RAM and such, you should be able to virtual machine it inside Ubuntu on there [21:24] Dunkirk: whenever i get this problem, all 3 computers and laptop 's internet stop working [21:25] olympus:i havent tried serial connections, have no devices, just usb issues here. have you added them in the settings before launching the guest os ? [21:25] Is it possible to get Ubuntu's screen res at 1024? [21:25] newclimb: I've got 9.10 running on a Toshiba but not sure the model [21:25] Helsinkiii: Well, can you use the central computer in the network to monitor traffic with WireShark? [21:25] Lcawte: sure, but maybe you need to install a graphics card driver first [21:25] I cant get mine running at it [21:25] oh k [21:25] sebsebseb, i really want to do it straight... i havent been able to get the wireless working on the machine at all. the machine was built for xp... want to put xp on it to find out if the card is fried [21:25] thanks [21:25] olympus: can you see the model please? [21:25] Dunkirk: what will that tell me? [21:25] (/me runs to his other machine) [21:25] Lcawte: system > administration > hardware drivers [21:26] well thanks for the help guys [21:26] newclimb: give me a minute, gotta go downstairs to look [21:26] socratesthekid: oh right wireless [21:26] olympus: thanks a lot [21:26] how can I tell how much memory my system has from within Ubuntu? [21:27] Helsinkiii: Well, I was expecting to see one of the computers start talking more and more ont he network, choking out the others. [21:27] abo-: type free [21:27] when i got the little guy, he had vista on him, i replaced that with ubuntu.... still wont read the wireless... figure go back to basics, put it back to where it came from with xp and see if it can find the card [21:27] Dunkirk: i know it's my pc [21:27] Dunkirk: it's always mine [21:27] socratesthekid: yeah wireless is a common, it doesn't just work issue for Ubuntu. Can probably get it working natively after some configuring or the Windows driver in Ndiswrapper. Sometimes they don't just work in Ubuntu, but do in other distros. [21:27] newclimb: L505D-S5965 [21:27] Helsinkiii: Yeah, but why? What traffic is it causing that's choking the network? That's what wireshark should show you. [21:27] !wireless | socratesthekid [21:27] socratesthekid: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [21:28] Dunkirk: can i control how much my wireless card transmits at a time? [21:28] olympus: oh [21:28] dunkirk, no success.. [21:28] newclimb: what issues are you having with it? [21:28] Helsinkiii: Yeah, you should. But that's going to involve something like iwconfig commands. [21:28] i've spent a lot of hours and talked to many people in here trying to get it to recognize my card... did the madwifi thing to no avail... no one else seems to be having problems with ubuntu and that machine [21:28] coldpizza72i: Sorry. I don't know what else to tell you from here. [21:28] so i just want to figure out if it's fried [21:28] socratesthekid: What's the chipset / card? [21:29] Helsinkiii: wireshark is a network monitor - not for managing bandwidth or so [21:29] sebsebseb: I get some error when I try install the driver it comes up with [21:29] dunkirk, havent been able to fully narrow it down... atheros super ag is the best i've found [21:29] Lcawte: which driver? and what did it say? [21:29] i think i read something about 5006 somewhere, but i'm not sure of that [21:29] hang on, I'm running between machines [21:30] ok so I finally installed linux! [21:30] its a fujitsu lifebook p1510d [21:30] olabaz: Congratulations! [21:30] socratesthekid: What does `sudo lshw' tell you ? [21:30] olabaz: :) [21:30] SystemError: Failed to lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock [21:30] sebsebseb: Thanks. Now what? lol [21:30] hi is there an official dbian live cd out there [21:30] Dunkirk.. nothing [21:30] meowbuntu: #debian [21:30] NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 96) [21:30] doesn't even read the card as existing [21:30] iceroot, thanks [21:30] olabaz: security updates, and drivers if stuf is avilable system > administration > hardware drivers [21:31] olympus: pvt please [21:31] sebsebseb: ^ [21:31] !pm | newclimb [21:31] newclimb: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [21:32] Lcawte: right, but you didn't provide any details [21:32] guntbert: sorry im a brasilian and my english isnt good enough but i can try [21:32] !br | newclimb [21:32] newclimb: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [21:32] sebsebseb: thats all I get in the error [21:32] socratesthekid: "lshw" should tell you the exact chipset, buried in there somewhere. "dmesg" should also give you some help. You MUST know your exact chipset to have any hope of getting it running. [21:33] Lcawte: ok [21:33] sorry i tried too [21:33] Lcawte: so you pressed enable and what happended? [21:33] but a two days ago i tried installed ubuntu in a notebook u505s2005 and the notebook simple stop runing [21:33] Dunkirk.... it doesnt read that the card exists... it doesnt think it's there === mike is now known as Guest61754 [21:33] i dont know why but nothing works anymore and i need to change a note in a store [21:33] i dont know if it happened because of the ubuntu or what [21:34] newclimb: does it turn on? [21:34] keep just in the bios [21:34] sebsebseb: activate then it asked for a password, which I entered then it flashed the install bar thing for a second then pulled the error [21:34] ifyou're going to be here for a bit, i can get that one online to post the lshw and the dmesg if you'dlike [21:35] Lcawte: Are there other graphic card driver options? [21:35] newclimb: did you install from a live cd? [21:35] sebsebseb: not that I can see [21:35] yes [21:35] if i make a folder, by doing say mkdir /home/echo $(date '+full-%Y%m%d.%H%M%S').$(($(date +%N)/1000000)) how can i move to that same directory? because if i ran the echo again, it would be different [21:35] newclimb: have you tried using the live cd again to boot the machine? [21:36] Awesome, this runs Ubuntu 9.04: http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/reviews/6987/1/ [21:36] sebsebseb: Shall I search on package manager? [21:36] Advo: make the date first a variable and then call that variable [21:36] olympus: so after the problem the computer didnt boot anymore [21:36] Lcawte: ok well, it's only really needed for the Compiz 3D effects, some other resolutions possibily, and 3D OpenGL Desktop Linux games. [21:36] newclimb: did you put the cd back in and try that? [21:36] olympus: nothing works cd or usb [21:37] Myrtti hmm, how? didnt know you could [21:37] sebsebseb: what about 1024 screen res [21:37] Lcawte: no that's how you install it or should be able to [21:37] olympus: yes didnt worked anymore [21:37] hi guys... i need some advice from u :P whats the best mp3 player for ubuntu? [21:37] Lcawte: uhmm I don't know what resolutions you got. system > preferences > screen resolution or something like that, I am on another distro right now :) [21:37] !best > sk33to [21:37] sk33to, please see my private message [21:38] Okay, I've tried everything I could Google, and I still can't get this to work. I'm installing a Lexmark z600 driver, and it says during testing to see if it'll backend "libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory." I'm running Karmic, and I've looked in Synaptic to find libstdc++.so.5. Couldn't get it. Where should I go from here? [21:38] newclimb: I'm afraid that I'm out of ideas. Perhaps others will have some. Sorry I couldn't be more help. === wc3 is now known as PolitikerNEU_ [21:38] sebsebseb: nothing on there other than display which doesnt like me [21:38] olympus: all right thanks [21:38] Lcawte: meaning what exactly? also I think if you press cancel on that, whatever comes up, you will get the thing I want you to get [21:38] newclimb: you might want to remove the battery, then reinstall the battery and try again. Just a thought [21:39] Well I guess I'm the only one who thinks that's the coolest thing ever [21:40] newclimb: another thought--my toshiba gives me the chance to select a boot device when it starts up, does yours? [21:40] olympus: not [21:40] olympus: i get to select but nothing boot === bobbywilson0_ is now known as bobbywilson0 [21:41] newclimb: ok, well that's about it for me. [21:43] newclimb: no operating system will damage your hardware - if your system cannot boot - even with resetting everything to "system default" in BIOS - bring it back to the shop [21:44] guntbert: although StarForce will, and can damage your hardware ;) [21:44] guntbert: i did and i changed [21:44] hello, can someone explain where I can read about "default-preference-list" parameter for gpg? -- I'm reading: [21:44] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto#Using%20GnuPG%20to%20generate%20a%20key [21:45] kareeser: ?? but its probably off topic :) [21:45] guntbert: but know im with another one and i m afraid to install ubuntu, can be ubuntu damage my sistem or not? [21:45] guntbert: oh, definitely. [21:45] does anyone use gpg keys, here? [21:46] dunkirk, the spdif option on the alsamixer is just a box with 00.....i cant change the value [21:46] jonzbcc: did you try "man"? [21:46] newclimb: I never had any reports about ubuntu damaging a system - I don't believe it is possible - do not install immediately but "try without changing" [21:46] kareeser: yes, it just says.. hold on, i'll paste it for you (not usefull though) [21:47] ó ìåíÿ âîïðîñ: åñòü ëèíóêñ óáóíòà 7.10 (âîçìîæíîñòü îáíîâèòü äî ïîñëåäíèõ âåðñèé äèñòðåáóòèâà íåò) ïðîáëåìà íóæíî ïîäêëþ÷èòñÿ ê VPN ñîåäèíåíèþ. íóæåí ïðîñòîé vpn êëèåíò (æèëàòåëüíî ñ ãðàôè÷åñêèì èíòåðôåéñîì) êîòîðûé íå òðåáóåò îñîáûõ íàñòðîåê òàê êàê íåèçâåñòíû ïîëíûå íàñòðîéêè vpn ñåðâåðà :-) (âîáùåì íóæíî êàê â âèäíóóñå) [21:47] jonzbcc: nevermind, don't bother pasting :P [21:47] guntbert: ok thanks [21:47] newclimb: welcome to ubuntu :) [21:47] when i try to delete/move a file from my SD card, the file manager closes and I see lock sign on the folder. ls -l shows rwx though. any clue?

[21:55] kareeser: tnx anyway it's a usb Peripehal [21:55] meowbuntu: nope, I will try it at some point though [21:55] ubuntu is great os too [21:55] coldpizza72i: probably not.. I'm not very good with audio.. but ask the channel.. and check the forums.. there has to be someone out there that knows about these things [21:55] meowbuntu: I mostly use it for research so if I find something that works, I settle on it [21:55] jackbrown: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Webcam [21:56] alphacharlie_: apt-get remove should work [21:56] alphacharlie_: or apt-get purge if you want to delete configuration files also [21:56] jason, mint has all the extras that dont come packaged with ubuntu. [21:56] Is there a way to alias a command? like if I want to make "acs" do "apt-cache search" [21:56] ok [21:56] i installed libiconv-1.13.1.now i'm trying to nstall glib & it's saying -> GNU libiconv not in use but included iconv.h is from libiconv. i tried that.but still gving this error. [21:56] Aedrich: google .bash_aliases [21:56] ok enjoy ubuntu or whatever then jason [21:56] Aedrich: I think there is an "alias" command for bash [21:57] thanks [21:57] Aedrich: np [21:57] what is the best linux replacement for iTunes? === kareeser is now known as woofbuntu [21:57] what is iTunes ? [21:57] meowbuntu: what extras? [21:57] olabaz, ? [21:57] olabaz: you mean for connecting to an ipod device? [21:57] what is iTunes ? === Mowee is now known as Mowee`Bnc [21:57] olabaz: I don't think there is one solution that does everything.. there are some apps that can talk to ipods.. there are other apps that have an online store built in [21:58] iTunes nothing appropriate [21:58] tenpenny, sure ? [21:58] yeah... basically, you're out of luck if you want to interface with the iTunes store. [21:58] meowtuntu: I haven't found anything lacking that wasn't immediately available through the repositories [21:58] olabaz: I think you'll actually be better of running itunes in a vm or using wine if you need all the functionality [21:58] why use iTunes when there's the Amazon store? [21:58] No I don't care about iTunes store I just want something that can interact with iPod. [21:58] olabaz: try rhythmbox or banshee [21:58] olabaz: they both can talk to ipods, I believe [21:58] can't almost everything interface with iPod these days? [21:59] woofbuntu, olabaz I may have seen some program wait a sec [21:59] !ipod | olabaz [21:59] olabaz: 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 [21:59] Amarok does it too, right? [21:59] Rhythym box is cool [21:59] amaroK too, I believe, yes [21:59] thanks a lot. [21:59] funny how I know this... I don't even own an apple device. [22:00] an apple a day keeps apple devices away [22:00] woofbuntu, olabaz http://www.atunes.org/ [22:00] apparently, there used to be a competitor to the macintosh.. called the banana [22:00] woofbuntu, olabaz :D [22:00] so ?

[22:00] FloodBot1, get yourself a break... [22:01] aTunes.. interesting. does it interface with ipods and the store, though... [22:01] hmm [22:01] if the bot wasn't here to blindly macro at people, the ops might have to *work* :c [22:01] Aedrich, I was joking [22:01] :p [22:02] olabaz, what do you think about atunes so ?

[23:05] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). [23:05] sativa: either just put their name first on the line.. like in this message.. or just /msg nickname here is the super secret message bla bla bla [23:05] olabaz: and when you do that what is selected?

[23:09] Yarcanox: =) you're welcome (use apt-cache search postfix to find the package name) [23:09] histo: ok, thanks for the help [23:09] what do the different colors in executable text files mean? [23:09] is there a way to move the area the notifications pop up in? It is popping up way to low on my screen and it is seriously frustrating. [23:10] Slart: What are the autoconf packages? [23:10] sativa, it's called Syntax Highlighting -- it just a way to keep everything clear for programmers [23:10] InsaneMonkey02: autoconf is a system for doing the ./configure, make things.. [23:10] InsaneMonkey02: I'm not sure if it's an alternative to ./configure or if it complements it.. === ubunturoot is now known as acovrig2 [23:10] mac4lin?

[23:13] InsaneMonkey02: well.. it was worth a try [23:13] how could i use mv to rename many folders, i want to remove a prefix all the folders have on common [23:13] sativa: nope [23:14] hello everybody! [23:14] :D I get you , but I mean a new atom based machine [23:14] nixjr, mv + basename + for loop --- you might want to ask in #bash [23:14] slart so how do I find out what each color means in a particular text file?

[23:45] and it tends to bounce around regardless. WTF, and how do I fix it? [23:45] cyberjunk502, I entirely agree with what actionParsnip has just explained - you don't "need" another program BUT putty is in the default repository (v0.60) so to install "sudo apt-get install putty" would work, you should try to avoid "compiling" things whenever possible (makes life MUCH easier) [23:45] Siphon: let me send you alink with directions.

I'm just really not familar at all with ubuntu or linux in general [23:51] John-_, if it is on a flash drive it's already ripped - just copy the files [23:51] according to the UVC site its supported [23:51] Lenin_Cat: ok then you can find guides based on that code [23:51] Yeah...but I want to rip m4p files as mp3 files [23:51] ineptmofo, are you sure it's not showing up in alacarte? It has to be there somewhere. [23:51] histo: the cd I have is driver cd for all the drivers on the laptop. is that going to matter? [23:51] actionParsnip, http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/ its supported according to this! -_- [23:52] John-_, that's not really ripping that's converting -- many tools for that [23:52] Siphon: no the installation cd for ubuntu is what i'm talking about.

So to each their own. :) [23:59] Siphon: you can download them on windows then copy to a thumb drive. then when you reboot you can put them in yoru home like the directions say. [23:59] Dr_Willis: if i removed it from software center, am i good? [23:59] Siphon: you can use ndisgtk to use the windows driver on the cd (i think ndisgtk is in a standard install), you can also use a removable media to use another system to get the files you need [23:59] jrib: I just need to make a two line script. [23:59] EWR: or learn touse synaptic or whatever other package manager you like.
