[00:00] Siphon: well pidgin should be able to connect to irc. Or xchat can be installed. [00:00] Stavros: install it to /usr/local, that's the place for stuff not managed by the package manager [00:00] Siphon: applicaitons > internet> pidgin messenger [00:00] Stavros: then use checkinstall, it will create a deb, no issues [00:00] I use Pidgen for IRC. [00:00] EWR, you will remove mosr everything with synaptic that's all you need [00:00] jrib: but i *want* it to be installed over the package so it will be upgraded [00:00] Dr_Willis:so should i reinstall dvd rip then remove it with synaptic [00:00] histo: thank you again [00:00] Stavros: why do you think you want it there? [00:00] jrib: so i can upgrade it using apt [00:00] I just installed DirectFB on Ubuntu. The README says that docs are already installed in html format. Where is it installed? [00:01] EWR: if its not showing up in synaptic - then it IS removed. all these tools do the exact same stuff in the background. They are all front ends to the apt-get systems [00:01] Stavros: then why compile it at all? [00:01] Siphon: anyone should be able to help with that broadcom issue its pretty common. [00:01] jrib: because i need a version for which there is no package yet [00:01] EWR, go into synaptic and type dvd rip and if its removed it will be unchecked [00:01] !apt | EWR [00:01] EWR: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit.

When the time comes that you do not want it anymore, remove your custom install and use APT [00:02] jrib: i think i'll build my own package, it should be better [00:02] jrib: is it easy? i've never done it before [00:02] thanks Dr.Willis!

[00:10] aubade: looks like amicrosoft thing, samba may play with it [00:10] actionParsnip: Yeah, something specific to NT domain controllers. [00:10] militant: yeah thats the one, animated gifs work fine here. weird [00:11] actionParsnip: yeah i guess it is weird. it's been that way for days.

[00:14] Whats a good program to burn movies to a dvd? [00:14] sate: devede is good [00:14] sate: i use 'devede to CONVERT video files to 'dvd video' format. Then you use whatever burning tool you like to burn the .iso it makes [00:15] ^^ [00:15] Well i've been using divx for windows, and the reason i like it, is because it burns movies fast [00:15] does devede burn fast? [00:15] devede dosent BURN - it makes a dvd.iso you then burn [00:15] sate: read what Dr_Willis said, what I said was half the true [00:15] converting is not burning... [00:15] * Dr_Willis wonders why peopel think video conversion tools need to also be optical drive burning tools.. [00:16] how fast can it "convert" [00:16] sate: itsa a front end to ffmpeg or mencoder I belive. So as fast as those tools can. [00:16] * duffydack cant replace ffmpeg with 8 threads [00:17] and it uses other tools to do other things [00:17] Crap can't use it for kubuntu [00:18] You can use Devede on Kubuntu [00:18] You an use any gnome app you want on kubuntu. [00:18] Dr_Willis, are you sure? [00:18] SpaceGhostC2C: about what? [00:18] do I install from terminal? [00:18] sate: thats one way. [00:18] Dr_Willis, about devede not being available with KDE. [00:18] sate: or install/use synaptic or any other package manager [00:18] SpaceGhostC2C: i dident say that... I said it CAN work with kde [00:19] I tried the package manager [00:19] Didn't work [00:19] sate: you may be doing it wrong. [00:19] !info devede [00:19] devede (source: devede): simple application to create Video DVDs. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 3.14.0-0ubuntu5 (karmic), package size 1518 kB, installed size 3560 kB [00:19] sate: sudo aptitude install devede [00:19] Why use Devedee when you have K9copy? [00:19] isn't there a program called kdvd or something? [00:19] what's kde's default dvd burner? [00:19] I just asked what to use [00:19] k9 is actually really really good [00:19] K3B is default DVD burner [00:19] they said devede [00:19] ah k3b, thanks [00:19] FeasibilityStudy: can k9copy take a video file and make a DVD video ISO yet? [00:19] k3b can burn movies? [00:20] K9Copy is default DVD ripper, and it is the best DVD ripper there is, bar none [00:20] sate: use devede to convert, k3b to burn [00:20] FeasibilityStudy: hes goign the OTHER way :) [00:20] Dr_Willis: Yes it can [00:20] Dr_Willis, you're right, someone else said can't and it messed with my mind. [00:20] I do it all the time [00:20] I knew i should of kept windows [00:20] FeasibilityStudy: Must be a new feature then. Ive not toyed with it lately [00:20] FeasibilityStudy: oh, i was looking for something like that, thanks [00:20] sate, what's your issue bro? [00:20] sate: Time to learn some linux basics I guess.. or just give up. [00:20] I make .iso's all the time with K9Copy [00:20] sate: use devede to convert, k3b to burn, what's the problem? [00:21] Its not about giving "up" [00:21] sate, what is your problem? [00:21] divx, can just burn dvd insanely fast [00:21] I use devede all the time to copy a dozen cartoon.avis to dvd.iso then i burn them with whatever tool i like. [00:21] sate: burning is the trivial part.. its generating the DVD video format thats the hard part [00:21] FeasibilityStudy: say I have a theora/vorbis video; and I want to create an .iso to play on regular DVD players... k9 can do it? [00:22] how do i install the humanaty icons? [00:22] darolu: Yeah I believe so === katie|movies is now known as katie11 [00:22] I tried using divx, with wine, but it doesn't find the dvd rom drive [00:22] what happens when your dvd burn goes out??? [00:23] sate: install devede, it does work with Kubuntu, when you open the package manager, select the "search all packages available" option [00:23] sate: I could proberly have the thing done with devede in the time its going to take to get wine and divx fitgured out [00:23] archboxman, i quits working :) [00:23] k9copy is rather good, if that dont do what you want, I dont think anything does.

This is true in benchmarks like SuperPi for instance. [00:39] I wonder if the Nvidia GPU patches are going tobe standard in ffmpeg and mencoder soon. [00:39] okay lemme break it down [00:39] But of course it will depend on how the programs were compiled and what arch they run on with what optimizations [00:39] Ive seen many WINDOWS video convertion tools that also use ffmpeg or mencoder [00:39] #centos-unregistered :Cannot send to channel :( [00:39] sate: what applications are you comparing?

[00:40] It's very fast, I can normally burn a 700mb movie in 5mins [00:40] sate: i got a $50 gizmo that i can plug into a tv.. copy movie to flash drive.. plug into gizmo.. watch movie.. [00:40] Slart: how to register [00:40] no guidance under freenode on register [00:40] sate: BURNING is the trivial part.. converting the video is the harder part.

[00:41] darolu: i just got my hands on 2 phenoms (9750's) [00:41] If the player is able to play divx video files diretrly then you dont need to convert it at all. [00:41] sate: I can promise you that you won't convert a movie in 5 minutes.. no matter what os you're running or what kind of voodoo you use [00:41] Yes I lose quality, but it makes her happy, and shes happy, im happy [00:41] sate: burning depends only on your CD-R drive speed. Not on the OS [00:41] im luv'n em [00:41] Implying im evening converting in the first place [00:41] sate and if she's happy, I am sure you're happy AFTER the movie, right?

[00:49] lol [00:49] dell: youtube [00:49] Slart yikes, that sucks [00:49] Dr_Willis: avi is divx... mov is mpeg4... do'h! [00:49] dell: look into aircrack-ng [00:49] dell: probably.. or google for it.. it's out there.. this isn't the channel for it though [00:49] Have anyone here tried cracking wireless wep key and have a success with 9.10? [00:49] There are two DivX codecs; the regular MPEG-4 Part 2 DivX codec and the H.264/MPEG-4 AVC DivX Plus HD codec [00:50] dell: maybe #scriptkiddies [00:50] darolu: err... Hmm. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DivX [00:50] Dr_Willis: I know... I was trying to be humorous [00:50] darolu: :P [00:50] darolu: about once a week we get inthis big 'avi is just a container' tutorial session in here. :) [00:50] samsonite: yes.. indeed it does.. not really sure what might be the problem though.. hopefully it's just a setting somewhere [00:51] Dr_Willis: Just like we do when people call Vorbis ogg [00:51] does the grub package in karmic or lucid have fakeraid/dmraid working? [00:51] Slart ive tried like every layout :( [00:51] Dr_Willis: yeah I was in one not long ago =p [00:51] or when people rename a .bmp to .jpg and wonder why its still huge... [00:52] dell: yes its not that hard. although I would suggest booting a live distro like back track. All the tools and proper wireless drivers are installed already. [00:52] samsonite: you could try a live cd of lucid.. the next version.. see if it's the same there [00:52] blakkheim: RRROFFFFFLLLL I went ahead and opened #scriptkiddies as a joke, and that dell dude came in there asking if anyone knew how to crack WEP keys [00:52] Back|Track 3 is good for that.... [00:52] hi everyone [00:52] * pokui shakes fist at bluetooth GPS receiver [00:52] samsonite: it's still beta though.. but it might be nice to know if it might be fixed in 2 months [00:52] I have trouble with vlc [00:53] getting that to work with ubuntu is going to take me a while :( [00:53] novato_br: what kind of trouble? [00:53] vlc is freezing when it is running mkv videos encoded on h264 [00:53] Slart the lack of a bug report seems to indicate that a fix is unlikely [00:53] FeasibilityStudy: hahaha [00:53] ill have to make one [00:53] samsonite: nothing in the forums? [00:53] not from what I can find [00:53] @ novato, have Compiz enabled? [00:54] I've played one mkv video encoded on x264 or h264 and it has frozen [00:54] I guess, Viper [00:54] I'm not sure, because I'm running ubuntu from my pendrive live usb [00:54] hello, any hardcore gedit user around? [00:54] novato_br: try running vlc from a terminal.. see if you get some kind of error message [00:54] novato_br: can you run vlc from command line to see what is causing the error? [00:54] ok, Slart [00:54] good idea [00:54] sanzky: those exist? =) [00:54] Well compiz & 3D stuff always seems to freeze VLC or Mplayer [00:54] I just realize, jeje [00:54] ok, Viper [00:55] novato_br: might your pc performance doesn't support mkv or 1080p resoultion [00:55] Slart, there are a bunch of nice plugins [00:55] sanzky im about to be a hardcore gedit user... switching the work PC to ubuntu next weekend [00:55] I have to admit it is the first time I hear -hardcore- and -gedit- on the same sentence [00:55] can't vlc developers fix these bugs yet, Viper? [00:55] well read [00:55] Vista is terrible for web development - apache crashes more than it serves pages [00:55] sanzky: oh.. I've never even looked at plugins for gedit.. perhaps it's time to re-evaluate it [00:55] sanzky im looking forward to something more textmate-esque [00:55] samsonite, do you know any plugin that will mark a close tag or bracket when I select the open tag/bracket ?? [00:55] go ask them, that's just my personal experience with it [00:56] sanzky i dont know, I havent started using it yet :) [00:56] novato_br: i notices some issues with vlc the other day and some video files - they were not playjng properly on the netbook. gnom-mplayer handled them fine however.. [00:56] novato_br: not sure what format they are. They were HD. video i know. [00:56] but I'm not at netbook, Dr_Willis [00:56] I'm at desktop computer [00:56] samsonite, It's actually the textmate style I'm looking to [00:57] novato_br: yep. testing vlc in 9.10 right now. lets see if its better [00:57] novato_br: problems with compiz-3d-video-etc, in my experience, have more to do with video drivers and X11 issues than the actual player. === live is now known as oinkoinkoink [00:57] hey guys, when the video isn't playing in full screen, there isn't error [00:57] SMPlayer FTW! [00:58] novato_br: might be driver issue then [00:58] novato_br: did you run it via terminal (command line)? [00:58] novato_br: vlc on 9.10 is not having the same issues.. so perhaps the next vlc will work better :) [00:58] yeah, darolu [00:58] novato_br: did it print any error at all? [00:58] novato_br: there are vlc daily build ppa's i think [00:59] (before going fs) [00:59] I see there isn't error when you play the video on full screen at original size [00:59] when I put 4:3 scale [00:59] there are problem [01:00] novato_br: what is the error? (if is too long go to paste.ubuntu.com) [01:00] ok [01:01] how can I move all of the contents (and maintain the directory structure) of /mnt/external/Sorted/ to /mnt/MP3/Sorted/ ?? [01:02] jeeves_Moss: cd /mnt/external ; mv -v Sorted /mnt/MP3 [01:02] blakkheim, I think when I try that, I get an error. one sec, I'll check [01:02] jeeves_Moss: you may need to copy/move with super-user (root priviliges) [01:02] jeeves_Moss: move or copy? [01:03] Dr_Willis: he said move [01:03] darolu: move [01:03] blakkheim: often they dont say what they really mean. :) [01:03] I have a Toshiba Satellite L305D, and the fan just will not slow down once it gets going, unless turned off normally (by Suspending or shutting down). I have searched the Wiki, but in vain. Any ideas? [01:03] this sucks... now I'm going to have to put XP back on this old laptop since the keyboard wont work [01:03] kinda an important part :) [01:03] samsonite: check the forums yet ? [01:03] jeeves_Moss: try with sudo mv then [01:04] yep [01:04] nada [01:04] I didn't what happened [01:04] the trouble is gone [01:04] samsonite: weird. Had a friends laptop that was quirky.. then suddendly stated working.. [01:04] it isn't freezing anyomre [01:04] novato_br: it magically works :) [01:04] yeah, Dr_Willis [01:04] darolu, mv: inter-device move failed: `Sorted' to `/mnt/MP3/Sorted'; unable to remove target: Is a directory [01:04] I can't understand [01:04] novato_br: we fixed with our uber-l337 hax0r powah [01:04] Dr_Willis it is weird, never experienced this on other thinkpads [01:04] novato_br: wonder if somthing else was sucking down too much cpu? [01:05] Dr_Willis, ? been tring to figure this out everytime i log in it assigns a new eth port /// how do i stop this and assign just one ? [01:05] where can I see the vlc log errors? [01:05] samsonite: try some other disrtos/live cds? see if you can confirm it tobe a issue with a specific kernel version perhaps [01:05] blakkheim, mv: inter-device move failed: `Sorted' to `/mnt/MP3/Sorted'; unable to remove target: Is a directory [01:05] hiexpo: ive never seen it do that.. Seen windows do it.. :) but never linux [01:05] hi all [01:05] jeeves_Moss: include the -R option: sudo mv -R /mnt/external/Sorted /mnt/MP3/ [01:05] I have a Toshiba Satellite L305D, and the fan just will not slow down once it gets going, unless turned off normally (by Suspending or shutting down). I have searched the Wiki, but in vain. Any ideas? (This does not happen in Windows Vista; and it continues to occur long after CPU usage drops to <10%.) [01:06] Strife89: did you check your temps [01:06] see [01:06] wtf [01:06] novato_br: might your pc performance doesn't support mkv or 1080p resoultion? [01:06] darolu, mv: invalid option -- 'R' [01:06] blakkheim: Not with software, but the fans are blowing cool air. [01:06] Strife89: check with software [01:06] Dr_Willis, i know me neither everytime it is a differant one which is not a real big because i use wireless but still would like to fix it [01:06] blakkheim: Can you suggest a package? [01:07] jeeves_Moss: my bad, it is -v [01:07] Strife89: lm_sensors [01:07] hiexpo: so whats changeing exactly? [01:07] darolu, I'm trying to move ~300gb of MP3s from the external 2.5" drive to the local box [01:07] heheeheh, my pc is not able to run 1080, are you gotta be kidding me? [01:07] jeeves_Moss: You could just use mc. :) [01:07] Dr_Willis, my ethernet port [01:07] darolu, and I'd like to get 'er started, then detach the process [01:07] my pc is 2ghz x2 [01:07] I tend to copy then delete, not move.. [01:07] 64bits [01:07] novato_br: that's not all that much to brag about [01:07] Dr_Willis, it's on a USB1 connection, and ~300Mb has taken over a WEEK [01:08] hiexpo: yes.. so what is hangeing? you getting eth0 eth1 eth2 eth10000 ?

Do all wireless printer work with the same standard or do you need drivers for each one? I'm trying with Dell V505w. Thanks. [01:26] I have a small problem with pulseaudio. After installing libsdl2.0debian-pulseaudio instead of the alsa one i now get urbanterror to work smoothly. But when i use mumble att the same time as i play (also configured to use pulseaudio) i get significant "lags" in the game. If there is a fix for this i would be most happy.

[01:41] I'm not getting rid of PA [01:41] FeasibilityStudy, how did you get rid of pulseaudio? [01:41] but it's very lame [01:42] compared to years ago when i had to recompile the kernel to get sound card working... :) I will stick to what we got these days [01:42] It's either that... or someone show me how I can get OpenAL to use ALSA directly!? [01:42] lantizia: gstreamer-properties [01:42] as for totem or stuff like that [01:42] fabio123, no _just_ openal [01:43] cribozai: Just uninstall the PA files..Then I blacklisted the ALSA modules. Then installed OSS.. [01:43] FeasibilityStudy, i would like to keep alsa but throw out PA [01:44] cribozai: You should be able to just uninstall it...It used to take a bunch of stuff with it, but it doesn't anymore I don't think [01:44] Strife89: this is a desktop not a lappy ?

[01:55] Strife89: you can often set enrgy options and such as fancontrol, silent,powermode ~whatever there [01:55] alraune: Alright, I'll look for that. :) [01:55] Initially I advised using his login password as the keyring password, but I suspect he entered something else and can't remember it....any ideas?

You can set the keyring to use a blank password so it wont ask [02:03] sludge: i tend to set the keyring password tobe the same as the login password. [02:03] !keyring [02:03] Talk about lack of security [02:03] Oh well [02:04] kcg: if it's only the menubar: no fix; if it's the menus themselves, it should be possible [02:04] http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/07/06/clearing-or-resetting-the-gnome-keyring/ [02:05] Dr_Willis i have set the login and keyring passwords to the same thing too, the problem is that I have no idea what my friend did, he may have had caps lock on, I found where you can change the password [02:05] kcg: for firefox you can use css to fix it in userChrome.css; for openoffice you'll need an other theme, run as: GTK2_RC_FILES=$HOME/.themes/yourtheme/gtk-2.0/gtkrc openoffice.org [02:05] sludge: Are you trying to change his login password...? [02:06] from the Applications-->Accesories-->Password and Encryptions [02:06] sludge: you can erase the keyring/settings so it goes back to default/empty [02:06] but Dr_Willis you have to enter the old password before you can change to the new one....but what if you can't remember the old one? Catch 22? === changa is now known as supercom32 [02:07] Strife89: I can't help you further there, but just googled the chipse, a amd 690 g with a k8 -amd (k10) , try to find s.o. with same model, it's not too hopeless :P [02:08] ryan_ I do not want to change login password....I just want the keyring to be the same password. However, I think my friend F'ed it up and can't remember what he put in there for keyring password because he gets caught in a loop where it asks for keyring, he enters login, but it keeps asking again and again [02:08] How can I play this http://paste.pocoo.org/show/180664/ in vlc [02:08] sludge: you can blow away the old password and all old saved passwords.. is one wat [02:08] When running an application from command line, you need to wait for it to return before you can continue typing in commands.

[02:12] goo=good [02:12] Dj_FlyBy[Mobile]: ive heard at least ram sized.. or more.. - but I dont use the feature. 2xRam i would think would be plenty [02:12] d4m0n: I'll join #windows [02:13] FeasibilityStudy: Thanks man, you are my hero. Now i can have 9.10 AND not live with the crap known as pulseaudio! [02:13] Dr_Willis: where could I find that to just turn off the LC, that would work too [02:13] Dj_FlyBy[Mobile]: even then It could be some quirk for the specific laptop [02:13] Is there a more refined way to see what is eating my processor memory? [02:13] VCoolio, thanks, seems to work now, although there are some fonts colour (e.g. in spreadsheet) such as sheet 1, sheet 2 (the sheets tab) are still shown as dark colour and unclear [02:13] Alsa works wonders [02:13] Dj_FlyBy[Mobile]: screensaver settings -> powersaver button I recall [02:13] ! [02:13] Dr_Willis: thanks much [02:13] are there any partitioning tools for ubuntu that arent GParted? [02:13] oh and all I could find was ##windows [02:14] hi everyone [02:14] kcg: maybe the theme isn't that good; but I don't use spreadsheets, so I don't know how they react on dark themes [02:15] i cannot install the nvidia propriety drivers 185. after install, that is, the screen goes black [02:15] For apparently no reason I get 200% (both cores) of my processor filled.

I always do such a task with the gparted live cd. [02:17] Dr_Willis: But I've also seen the "gnome-system-monitor" rake in 60-90% of my processor. [02:17] Which is troubling. [02:18] so everyone here, who is using nvidia drivers, had no problem with the installation? [02:18] Dr_Willis, i can apt the parted thing right? [02:18] jenia: which nvidia card are you using? [02:19] one second let me check the exact model [02:19] when i try to boot W7 from grub2 I get..error: no such device: 1a206180206163ab [02:19] CkhiKuzad: you can, but the partition that you resize must be unmounted, better to do it from the livecd with gparted [02:19] jenia: lspci | grep VGA [02:20] VCoolio: Thanks for that [02:20] ardchoille, i've used gparted like 20 times in the past 2 days, and they always froze at the "checking filesystem for errors (and possibly fixing them)" thing [02:20] d4m0n: I'm sorry, can't send to windows [02:20] Has anyone tried setting up mysql from apt? I am trying to follow the documentation on the mysql site and what it says should be happening doesn't seem to correspond with what is happening on my system [02:20] CkhiKuzad: perhaps you should be manualy checking the fs for errors first? [02:21] is there any way to change video/microphone settings that empathy uses? currently there appears to be no way to change anything (unlike say, ekiga, where you can choose the devices it uses and all that good stuff).

That's why I couldn't see any grub menu? [02:45] dr_willis: if you want to unplugged or change the cmos everytime [02:45] well I was dual booting my w7 and a hacintosh (on same drive) for months np, but now ubuntu (on second drive) has installed the grub loader and nothing works but linix [02:46] ardchoille, ya i dont' think it is a permissions issue :) [02:46] devilboy: try unpluging the usb ghd. it may be trying to boot from it. [02:46] Dr_Willis, I tried everything after that, and still nothing. And I just finished today from format and installing all back. [02:46] devilboy: some days youjust got to buckle down and learn grub and grub2 and how bootloaders work.. I spent a few days playing with them all and reading the docs.

I will search about grub2. Thanks [02:47] okay i can try adding x bit [02:47] chmod +x -R * [02:47] d4m0n: ok so i know that windows 7 is on the primary drive, and ubuntu is on the 2nd.

I'm from the bugsquad and I researching a bug about it [03:26] has anyone looked at my problem (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8853739) [03:26] Dr_Willis: but since on debian based systems like ubuntu, compiz is really compiz-manager, a script that appends --replace and some other necessary options depending on the detected setup [03:26] Dr_Willis: Didn't it go in the script, not terminal? [03:26] Just curious, shouldn't the option to open gimp just say "GIMP" Not "GIMP Image editor" ?

I get a deamon already running [05:11] paket, huh? so you disabled pulseaudio?

[05:14] Dr_Willis: I often use other people's computers. some of them get angry if I wipe their HDD [05:15] SpaceGhostC2C, it comes with pulseaudio by default [05:15] dooglus: do a normal install TO THE FLASH drive. not the pc [05:15] Dr_Willis: that's possible? [05:15] hatake...kde on start says like "hda audio device is removed" [05:15] hatake_kakashi, okay, I'll probably make that one work.

You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [05:15] dooglus: yes - but getting grub to install to it - takes extra step at the end of the install - theres a button for that I belive [05:16] and when i test in "multimedia settings [05:16] all fail to make sound [05:16] Dr_Willis: is there a web page telling how it's done? and isn't grub the default boot loader? [05:16] SpaceGhostC2C, lol thanks, pulseaudio is generally the way, I personally don't like it so I removed it in favour of alsa myself, which is old and lacks a few features but works for me [05:16] paket, which media player are you using? [05:16] dooglus: thers a dozen people in here a week that do it. Grub since you booted from cd MAY try to isntall to the pc's hd by default youMUST tell it to use the flash drive. [05:17] ahoy yall [05:17] dooglus: or unplug the HD's then just boot from cd, with theusb in the pc [05:17] hatake_kakashi: whats wierd is that the players are not able to stream sound, like no time is running on the music player like if it was clogged somewhere... If it was a simple mute i would see time increasing while playing stuff no?

[05:17] is there any reason I should be using/trying to use the microcode.ctl [05:17] hatake_kakashi, this is on my friend's machine. I think I'll use pulseaudio. Thanks a lot. [05:17] M [05:17] Dr_Willis: these dozen people, do they follow a guide? or do they all guess correctly for themselves how it's done? [05:17] i havent used any yet...just kmplayer to watch a video [05:17] mobidroid, that could also be an issue with the codec or the audio server [05:17] SpaceGhostC2C, np [05:17] Dr_Willis: and is it the same dozen each week? [05:17] but no sound you know - it succks [05:17] would it give me any performance benefits at all? [05:18] paket, I'd try giving smplayer a go and dumping the output of mplayer's log into pastebin [05:18] hatake_kakashi: Ok, well im updating my sys once its finished ill try to install pulse audio. pasting the command in the refered link failed [05:18] mobidroid, you mean you did a distro upgrade? [05:18] grumbly: sheesh, that's hardcore... why would you need to squeeze THAT much juice out of your CPU? :P [05:19] hatake_kakashi> aptitude upgrade [05:19] kareeser: cause it's a frikkin' atom [05:19] dose anyone know how to view a wireless card information. on your computer [05:19] hmmm [05:19] mobidroid, ahh just an upgrade, well I'm thinking of running something like a text based media player, and seeing where it crashes [05:19] depend what do u need to know zulfi [05:19] zulfi, like what sort [05:19] ifconfig ?? [05:19] hatake_kakashi> I used aplay [05:20] dooglus: at the end of the install process thers a button to tel it where to install grub to., You tell it the location of the flash drive. thats about all i know on it [05:20] hatake_kakashi> no crash just no sound [05:20] grumbly: I haven't done it myself - but look at it this way... the atom is already a highly efficient processor. Any more squeezing you do out of it would just net you a very very small increase in performance. [05:20] dooglus: not much of a guide to it.. [05:20] zulfi, lspci [05:20] grumbly: if you were looking at something like a 10 year old processor, I'd give it a shot. [05:20] dooglus: everyone who tries.. totally ignore that button/extras at the end [05:20] kareeser: that be what i think'd [05:20] Dr_Willis: I presume I don't format the flash drive to a linux fs, or the PC won't be able to boot it? [05:20] want to install a capture/tv tuner card. any recommendations? [05:20] grumbly: but what do I know? You should do it, and benchmark it, and let us know the results :) [05:20] and I needed second opinions.. [05:20] well... [05:20] dooglus: err.. the fs has to be linux for a normal install... pc booting the thing dosent depend on the FS at all [05:21] hatake_kakashi: I used this: aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav [05:21] nothing works [05:21] grumbly: unless you royally screw up (which I doubt will happen), you can't go "slower", really... [05:21] dooglus: so yes. it IS formated to ext2/3/4 [05:21] dooglus: for a flash drive ext2 may be a better bet. [05:21] kareeser: hahah! maybe I should try? [05:21] I have just created a new ext3 partition with GParted, but, when I try to write to it, it says I have no permission to. What can I do? [05:21] mobidroid, try something like mplayer [05:21] Dr_Willis: ok thanks [05:21] Can anyone help me recreate everything I wiped out in /boot? [05:21] i am trying to find the Atom microcode [05:21] EMABrad: set the permissions for it. tobe owned by who you want to access it. [05:21] paket, nothing works if you sit there, complain and don't try anything [05:21] grumbly: then again, the atom might not have newer microcode out yet [05:21] grumbly: best of luck [05:21] i tried everythings [05:22] Dr_Willis: How? [05:22] EMABrad, sudo [05:22] EMABrad: chown/chmod the mountpoint, or a directory on the filesystem - tobe owned by what users you want to access it [05:22] EMABrad: same as you would for any other directory [05:22] it has beep though [05:22] paket, no you haven't === klescet is now known as chetan_h [05:22] hatake_kakashi: mplayer /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav : it stuck at Starting playback [05:22] A: 0.2 (00.2) of 1.0 (01.0) ??,?% [05:22] mobidroid, what was the audio output aimed at? [05:22] * kareeser says "Front, Center" in a sexy female voice [05:23] Dr_Willis: also, I don't have any CDs. would booting from one stick and installing to another be OK? [05:23] kareeser: it doesn't [05:23] dooglus: try it and see i guess [05:23] alright! [05:23] superbigness [05:23] well alright then [05:23] mplayer: could not connect to socket [05:23] thanks for all your helps [05:23] is this a clue? [05:23] mobidroid, hmm somewhat :/ it could be not enough permissions [05:24] do i need linux-uvc in order to make my logitech webcam work? I'm having problems with it in skype....I can't even see it in the drop down menu for selecting a camera. [05:24] hatake_kakashi: same for sudo [05:24] hri [05:24] #maemo [05:24] why doesn't my desktop cube work? [05:24] klescet: hri :) [05:24] mobidroid, yeah socket could mean lots of things apart from simply permissions, maybe the last few lines of dmesg might show something [05:25] rather desktop rotation? [05:25] [ 1569.429245] __ratelimit: 86 callbacks suppressed [05:25] randomusr: you have to enable "rotate cube" to. [05:25] dont know what is this but there is 20984328734 lines of this crap [05:25] Can anyone help me recreate everything in /boot? [05:25] mobidroid, the lines before that, better yet, if you're going to paste more than 2 lines use pastebin === Test is now known as Guest74716 [05:26] It is odd though because I can make it work in cheese though...so I don't think it is the webcam that is the problem. I think it is skype. [05:26] hatake_kakashi: nope the rest of those line none of them seem to be about sound, i see eth0 and nvidia cra [05:26] p [05:27] mobidroid, and the link to info about pulseaudio is no dice? [05:27] hatake_kakashi : the only line about the sound is : gameport: EMU10K1 is pci0000:05:01.1/gameport0, io 0xe020, speed 1387kHz [05:27] !repeat | Some_Person [05:27] Some_Person: 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. [05:27] hatake_kakashi: the upgrade finish in a few min [05:27] anyone know if blue ray works? [05:28] Some_Person, short answer: no, long answer: painful process [05:28] didnt updated since age, it take for ever [05:28] hatake_kakashi: Can you walk me through the "painful process"? [05:28] randomusr: I wouldn't bet on it :P [05:28] crap [05:29] Some_Person, no, its very time consuming, what did you do last to remove the contents of /boot ? [05:29] randomusr: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/BluRayAndHDDVD [05:29] kareeser: I wouldn't call the rate at which I am repeating "quickly" [05:29] !blueray [05:29] I'm not getting any sound from my webcam. the video is working fine....I went into alsamixer to make sure that the capture device wasn't turned all the way down, and it isn't. any ideas. [05:29] Some_Person: not "quickly", but nobody was responding [05:29] hatake_kakashi: The 'rm' command [05:29] Some_Person: we hear you, we just don't know how to help :) [05:29] Dr_Willis: Thank you. How do I make it accessible in Windows? (I have a program installed in Windows that allows me to access ext2/ext3 filesystems) === mike_ is now known as Guest22154 [05:30] hatake_kakashi: there is no specific log for sound? its only in dmesg i could see usefull info? [05:30] kareeser: i know it's minor, but it seems like the scrolly effects are a hair smoother [05:30] hatake_kakashi: I would still rather go through the "very time consuming" process [05:30] Dr_Willis: I'm just not sure if the Windows user will have permission access it. [05:30] Some_Person, and you did that without thinking? well there is a possible alternative if you haven't done any adding/removing of files, that is to use livecd and to create an image of ubuntu partition/drive and then to use some filesystem recovery tools [05:30] mobidroid, well its either that or mplayer honestly [05:31] hatake_kakashi where are the log for mplayer? [05:31] hatake_kakashi: Except there have been files modified [05:31] grumbly: nice! [05:31] grumbly: could be placebo effect, but if you're happy, that's all that counts [05:31] mobidroid, the log is usually dumped to console/terminal from the exact point where you fired up mplayer.. I think you can add extra verbosity if needed be [05:31] grumbly: I prefer disabling extra effects, like the cube, or the mini-screen renders in the desktop wall [05:32] EMABrad: if its ext2 then that tool can do it. [05:32] Dr_Willis: I click the 'advanced' button just before installation to the flash drive, and it's defaulting to installing the boot loader to /dev/sdc which is, I guess, the MBR of the flash drive. is that correct? [05:32] I'm connected to my router from outside my network (internally 192.168.1.1) How do I connect to 192.168.1.2 port 80 from the internal network? [05:32] hatake_kakashi: I'm not a newbie to ubuntu (been using it since 5.10) so I could certainly do whatever the process involves. I would like someone to walk me though it [05:32] Some_Person, well... for starters you'll need to reinstall grub, and then you need to get the kernels, init stuff reinstalled [05:32] dooglus: its your system.. Ive no idea what your flash drive is. :) [05:32] Dr_Willis: Thanks for you help. [05:32] Dr_Willis: the drive is sdc, yes [05:32] dooglus: see what sudo fdisk -l says [05:32] Dr_Willis: your [05:32] dooglus: looks like it then :) [05:32] kareeser: i dont think it's placebo... though I won't know for certain until I reboot [05:32] EMABrad: take care :P [05:32] Some_Person, not saying you're a newbie but I don't like to dog you through step by step [05:32] hatake mplayer gives FATAL ERROR [05:33] Dr_Willis: but it is defaulting to installing grub there. I got the impression from you that people were missing this step - but I didn't have to change anything [05:33] but I never got docky to scroll at all on hiding [05:33] paket, pastebin the output of mplayer in full [05:33] grumbly: glxgears it? not necessarily the best of benchmarks... but works in a pinch [05:33] hatake_kakashi: "dog" me?

[05:36] it has no smplayer only mplayer [05:36] hatake_kakashi: ok, I've done that [05:37] Some_Person, you'll need to mount all your normal setup, and then chroot into it with proc, sysfs and stuff mounted [05:37] Dr_Willis: one other thing - why do you advise ext2 rather than 3 or 4? [05:37] dooglus: journeling fileysstems can wear out a usb drive faster from wht i hear. [05:37] hatake_kakashi: All of that is on the same partition, so done. [05:37] Some_Person, then I'd seeing if there's something like dpkg-configure [05:37] dooglus: ext4 is not readable by windows tools last i checked either [05:37] Dr_Willis: ok, thanks [05:37] hello does anyone now how to split screen in irssi???

[06:04] hatake_kakashi: Fruitless :( [06:04] :( [06:04] Dr_Willis maybe I should come just to see on a release day. [06:05] xfact, by default iptables has no setings [06:05] Ive googled it yeik there is a zillion posts about the issue now my 3 ubuntu machines all have broken dependencies in various places lol,, [06:05] !iptables | xfact [06:05] xfact: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist [06:05] hatake_kakashi: the pulse audio selection device is not loading is that normal?! [06:05] Gheddy_Zarc ouch. I know just trying to connect to my verizon phone with ubuntu properly is a major PITA [06:05] Some_Person: did you reinstall the kernel? [06:06] Hey guys, I need some help.

I have noticed sometimes Knoppix works with odd hardware until you install it. [06:10] paket, when you bought your computer you must have mad some manual...

(3). chrooted into the live environment, linking resolv.conf in the process. (4). sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-2.6.31-19-generic [06:15] whats the name of the default file browser so I can kill it?

[06:18] Gryllida: yeah... well looking at this i think i'm not ready for the linux experience :( [06:18] paket, no, no, ready :) [06:19] hey I know 8.04 isnt uspported anymore but is it still possible to download it somewahere I hear it works with mobile stuff straiaght up eh [06:19] I'll rejoin the M$ kingdom [06:19] it brought me to kde start up sound failure message like "HDA Intel IC7 ...removed" [06:19] paket, just look into the other OS: was it really AC97?

[06:21] gryllida...ok i ll try 5.14rc (which is HDA) [06:21] hey it could be worse, could be you'd have to download Suse's 15 million dvd's [06:21] paket, me know not what it was. maybe you can find more datailt about speaker's type in the manual :) [06:21] paket, is that HDA at http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=14&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false ? [06:23] yeah it seems so [06:24] paket, I think it needs a reboot and you will be gone from IRC for several minutes. Good luck! [06:24] allrite ty [06:24] Dr_Willis: well I tried irssi with split screen seems it don't run inside of gnome-terminal :( sucks to be me [06:26] i can not install ubuntu 9.10 from cd. nothing happens when i hit enter. it wont react [06:27] How do I get a list of my most recently installed applications? [06:27] thats an easy one, select "test media", if it fails burn another copy [06:27] magn3ts: cat /var/log/dpkg.log | grep installed [06:28] most recent applications : open synaptic and look deeply at the "origins" tab on the left [06:28] select local [06:28] hey. every time I start up my machine, the sound is muted. - how do i force no mute on start? [06:28] pilotbubbles: cant test media. enter will not work on the menu. will try to burn it again. this is second disc [06:29] sucks might want to make sure your firmwares are up to date [06:30] aprilhare, laptop? [06:30] hi, i try to connect to an available wireless network on network manager and it tells me "wirleless network is disconnected" [06:30] jiohdi: desktop [06:31] aprilhare: before 9.10 I had that all the time on my laptop, not any more [06:31] tweismann find out your chipset [06:31] well i'm running 9.10 x64 [06:31] atheros mini pci wifi card [06:33] you need to know specifically [06:33] should i run lshw? [06:33] there are multiple drivers for atheros chipsets in all likelihood [06:33] kinja-sheep, thank you. [06:34] Firefox is operating terribly. It loads page very slowly, if at all. Once loaded, pages are very quirky. For instance, I can not get logged in to Slashdot.

It's must be Firefox on Ubuntu specific. [06:43] hi, i try to connect to an available wireless network on network manager and it tells me "wirleless network is disconnected" [06:43] shawncm217, sorry. [06:43] in synaptic is there a way to check what packages have been downloaded but not installed? [06:43] my chipset is atheros AR5001x+wirless netwoork adapter and my driver is ath5k [06:43] shadenzo, Firefox is a Windows program, just look at how sad it was on Linux before Debian fixed it up [06:44] ubuntu is so cool man [06:44] nikhil_, look in /var/cache/apt ??? [06:44] even though im getting hacked [06:44] doesn't tell you which ones "aren't installed" tho [06:44] lol [06:44] grndslm: thanks [06:45] grndslm: there are lots of packages there some of which are installed [06:45] grndslm: i need non installed but downloaded only [06:45] nikhil_, right.... dunno about that then [06:45] what port is empathy [06:45] could only point you in some direction [06:45] grndslm: thanks for the info anyways [06:45] DaemonFC: Would you suggest something other than Firefox? [06:45] grndslm: yeah twas useful [06:46] Plenty of stuff out there. There's Opera. I use that a lot [06:46] Good morning. How do I force X to use a different display mode, while it is still running? Or, maybe simpler, how do I restart X with a mode that works? I accidentally changed the mode to one that my TV refused to display :-( [06:46] hi guyz, i need to download program, any site please ? [06:47] DaemonFC: LOL. That's a good one, but seriously... any suggestions? [06:47] Opera is the only other one that can stop crap from being loaded instead of just hiding it, I think [06:48] nikhil_, just outta curiosity, what are you trying to do? i'm trying to do something perhaps similar where all packages are downloaded daily, but not installed until GDM loads [06:48] similar to how Win7 works [06:48] that's a pretty nice feature they got there x_0 [06:48] is there any possible way to use separate wallpapers for each virtual desktop, without losing my icons on desktop (nautilus) [06:48] grndslm: i wish i knew that much :P lol i just gave up MS so im navigating my way through understanding how all this works before trying anything major like that :) [06:49] guys where's the system files in Ubuntu ? [06:49] like shell32.dll [06:49] yea, win7 is the first MS os that i like, mainly because they're adopting many OSS fundamentals, ideals [06:49] !file | user32 [06:49] user32: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview see also: man hier [06:49] user32, like in the /lib/ folder??

I recently upgraded to Jaunty, and now my kpovmodler windows are showing objects twice. [06:50] Could I bother someone else to go to Slashdot using Firefox 3.5.8 on Ubuntu 9.10 and attempt to login? Let me know how it goes? [06:50] user 32: in the 'sys' directory. [06:50] pilotbubbles: i will try to make a usb stick installation tomorrow:) [06:50] i don't know, i'll see this site .. [06:50] thankx [06:51] grndslm: what actually happned is my net died during install via synaptic and i didnt complete install so trying to figure out what i wanted to install :P [06:51] nikhil_: pretty sure that if you just resume the command you had last, it'll pick up where it left off [06:52] i shut down since then [06:52] well more like, resume from hibernation failed [06:52] ^^ grndslm [06:52] whether that's an "aptitude update; aptitude upgrade" or "aptitude install mythtv" [06:52] it should still recover [06:52] even after a failed hibernation [06:52] if it downloaded half the necessary files, it will skip that and resume the remaining files... then install after completion of that [06:52] grndslm: ah, aptitude update [06:52] How to use separate wallpapers for each virtual desktop, without losing my icons on desktop (nautilus)??? [06:53] i use aptitude.... it seems to have better dependency resolution than apt-get... plus i hate having to remember "apt-cache search" to search, when i can just aptitude search [06:53] many benefits to aptitude, IMHO [06:53] grndslm: that's what "alias" is for [06:54] mneptok: the benefits go a lot deeper than just typing the command [06:54] grndslm: i'll stick with apt-get. ATM, it gets more attention from Ubuntu core devs. [06:54] people have issues all the time where apt-get remove doesn't solve their problem, whereas aptitude purge will solve it [06:55] grndslm: alias appsearch='apt-cache search' ;) [06:55] grndslm: maybe they should try "apt-get purge" then [06:55] grndslm: You can't do "apt-get install pidgin" in aptitude. [06:55] grndslm: i didnt know that dependency failure was even possible with apt [06:55] kinja-sheep, uh... yes you can [06:55] grndslm: i tried using suse when switching from ubuntu to kubuntu...yast is a disgusting mess. it really frustrated me. [06:55] even still... the only benefit i've heard for apt-get is that the errors are better suited for n00bs or something like that... but aptitude output seems great for me [06:56] grndslm: i am a noob :) [06:56] grndslm: Oh wow. That is right. I wasn't capable of doing this in the past. [06:56] nikhil_, not dependency failure... but dependency "confusion" [06:56] grndslm: example? [06:56] lol me too "noob" [06:57] nikhil_, basically... if you install something in apt-get with 50 dependencies, i don't believe all of those dependencies will be removed with apt-get... [06:57] whereas they will with aptitude [06:57] how to change my disk titles ?? I mean my date disk ?? [06:57] ah [06:57] grndslm: alias purgeme='sudo apt-get purge --auto-remove' ;) [06:57] grndslm: I ben doing this for a while :) [06:58] nikhil_, and there are issues where you want to install two packages, but each of them require the same "dependent file" with different versions [06:58] ardchoille, well... aptitude does the damn thing with no help from me :D [06:58] grndslm: this is unresolvable right? [06:59] what is "this"? [06:59] my example? of dependencies with different versions?? [06:59] When I was using another distro, there was a website that had "fixes" for all the common issues like codecs, etc. Is there a "finishing" website for ubuntu for adding repositories and such? [06:59] it's resolvable, but it's time consuming, of course [06:59] grndslm: ok, we get it.. you like aptitude. I'm glad you found something that works for you :) [07:00] how to change my disk titles ?? I mean my date disk ?? [07:00] dsnyders: !codecs + !ppa ? [07:00] grndslm: yeah this is your example. ardchoille im just un-noobifying :P [07:00] ardchoille, right... it works out of the box... if apt-get did that with a simple "install" or "purge" switch, then i'd use it too [07:00] !ppa [07:00] With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. [07:01] i need to change my media disk [07:01] dsnyders: You also can do "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-dogfish/ppa" or such. [07:02] clear [07:03] user32: Maybe this --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RenameUSBDrive [07:04] OK [07:05] kinja-sheep, I'm looking a site that has stuff like that. === klescet1 is now known as Depp [07:05] Depp: What's up with the three different nicks?

[07:15] TimM83: who makes the wireless chipset? [07:16] let me check real quick [07:16] no sound [07:16] just beeps [07:16] kind [07:16] a [07:16] paket: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:16] TimM83: have you checked System > Admin > Hardware drivers to see if there's some restricted driver for your wireless? [07:16] kinda beeps mneptok [07:17] paket: yes? [07:18] whats the command to see your chipset,in linux [07:18] i keep thinking iwconfig [07:18] I was reading through the man page on man-db, and came across the --no-stray-cats switch. It wasn't very descriptive, and Google didn't help much either. Is it just another inside joke, or is it a serious feature with an odd name? :S [07:18] TimM83: lspci -vvv [07:18] Hi all! Anyone know what's causing this? http://imagebin.org/85792 [07:18] TimM83: assuming the wireless is on the PCI bus [07:19] TimM83, lsusb is the roughly-equivalent command for USB devices [07:19] but mneptok's suggestion is probably what you want in this case === [1]spike is now known as newb [07:20] hey all, i am having trouble with a computer that is freezing up. When it happens, the mouse will move, but keyboard and mouse click are dead. [07:20] 02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation WiFi Link 6000 Series (rev 35) [07:20] does that sound right? [07:20] TimM83: indeed [07:20] skrite, *buntu version? Any odd hardware? What were you doing at the time? [07:21] I should probably mention im running backtrack not ubuntu [07:21] Is it an nvidia issue? [07:21] TimM83: so boot off an Ubuntu LiveCD and see if wireless works there. [07:21] jaem, it is a dell desktop computer Ubuntu 9.10 and what i am doing at the time of freeze is random. sometimes even when i am logging in [07:22] ill have to dig out my live cd somewhere [07:22] !backup [07:22] There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [07:22] TimM83: this is #ubuntu. it would be nice to know that the issue affects this distro. ;) [07:22] true lol [07:22] dsnyders: try disabling Compiz and see if that's getting in the way. [07:22] isnt backtrack based off ubuntu though? [07:22] !sbackup [07:22] sbackup is a tool to create complete and/or incremental backups (which can be scheduled to be automatic, and can be done over a network). It is available in !Universe [07:22] !cloning [07:22] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [07:22] I think backtrack is based on slackware [07:22] skrite, so your cursor moves, but no mouse or keyboard events are getting through? Hmm... which brand of video card do you have? [07:22] TimM83, pretty sure backtrack was slackware.... [07:22] Why is ubuntu install telling us that FAT32 isn't a unix file system and we can't put /home on it? Workarounds? [07:22] TimM83: i'm "based off my mother" but i still get arrested using the women's bathroom. [07:23] okay see...told you i was new [07:23] darolu_, IIRC, they wswitched base distros for the most recent version [07:23] Not sure, it's on board video [07:23] not a seperate card [07:23] coreyman, it doesn't support some features needed for things in your .folders [07:23] such as symlinks, IIRC [07:23] putting /home on FAT is a bad idea [07:24] jaem its to share between windows OS [07:24] mneptok, okay... How do I disable Compiz? [07:24] coreyman, you can, however, do something like Nokia's Maemo OS does, and mount something like /home/user/MyDocs as a FAT partition, while making /home/user something Linux-friendly [07:24] that's probably your best bet for simplicity's sake [07:24] jaem why would i have a symlink in /home [07:24] jaem: why would someone need sym/hard links in home folder? [07:24] dsnyders: System > Prefs > Appearance > Desktop effects [07:25] coreyman: SSH will break horribly. [07:25] coreyman, that was a fairly arbitrary example, but in some cases, I believe various config files and such use features that are not supported by FAT [07:25] menptok these are desktop computers im not going to be SSH'ing [07:25] jaem: seems like you're correct, backtrack was based on Slax (which is based on slackware) and now is based on Ubuntu... weird move imo. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BackTrack [07:25] coreyman: SSH requires certain permissions for ~/.ssh and FAT32 has absolutely no concept of file permissions [07:25] I have three symlinks in my ~/.kde directory [07:25] mneptok, that's a better point - I missed that one :) [07:26] darolu_, yeah, it does seem a bit odd [07:26] coreyman: i ssh from my desktop to remote servers every day. [07:26] Hi all, I have a (hopefully quick) programing'y question. I'm trying to use liburiparser in a C program. I installed liburiparser1 and liburiparser-dev from universe, and banged out a simple example that gives me errors at link time. http://www.pastebin.com/m6bef6c2f has relevant pastes. Any pointers would be much appreciated. :) [07:26] coreyman: $HOME needs to be on a Unix-y filesystem with permissions. full stop. [07:26] mneptok: then again, who ever need permissions on the home folder? [07:26] mneptok ok well how would be sshing to remote servers have anything to do wtih what's in my HOME [07:27] no sound [07:27] how to fix the sound [07:27] Vorondil, pointers? Sure: 0xFF3187A4 [07:27] oh wait ;) [07:27] I'll take a look see [07:27] it didnt work with drivers update from realtek...it says something is missing [07:27] coreyman: if your ~/.ssh is too permissive, connections will fail. [07:28] jaem: hehe [07:28] both AC and HDA drivers didnt solved the problem [07:28] Lint01: please use tags [07:28] Vorondil, unless I'm blind (entirely possible), you haven't told the linker to link to the library you installed... no? [07:29] mneptok, do I need to restart x to shut compiz off? [07:29] dsnyders: shouldn't have to, no. but you may have to restart that unhappy app. [07:29] mneptok: where did you saw sarcasm? I'm too old for playing spies and setting passwords and permissions on my computer [07:29] mneptok im just going to do a symlink to fat32 partition in home dir [07:29] wtf [07:29] How do i get the gui for Ubuntu Server running? [07:29] coreyman, you don't need a symlink - just mount it as a subdirectory of /home/$user [07:29] sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [07:30] sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start [07:30] Lint01: i'd hazard a guess i'm a bit older than most in this channel, and i use passwords, permissions, and full disk encryption. [07:30] does Ubuntu Server even come with X these days? It's been some time since I used it [07:30] Lint01: usually each home/xxx directory belongs to its user; directories need 755 permissions, files usually have 644 permissions. === katie11 is now known as katie|afk [07:30] jaem: no [07:30] iceroot, thought not [07:30] newb, do you have X installed? [07:31] Lint01: you'll feel differently if the TSA ever confiscates your laptop. [07:31] newb: have you installed one? [07:31] jaem: I didn't think I had to. Does it not work the same way as any system library? As in, I can include stdio.h and get printf()? [07:31] newb: there is no x installed by default. if you need a gui, why using server-edition? also you can install the gui [07:31] has any one had a probelm with display? i shutdown my pc and went out when i just rebooted i only have two options for display huge and even bigger?!?! [07:31] Vorondil, usually if the linker spits a bunch of "undefined reference" errors at you, that's the case [07:31] Vorondil, it links in the stdlib automatically, but anything else needs to be specified [07:31] root user don't give a duck about permissions, and application exploits run under my uid [07:32] use the switch -lfoo to link in libfoo (note that the "lib" prefix is omitted" [07:32] and -L/custom/path if the lib is somewhere non-standard [07:32] mneptok: who're TSA? [07:32] jaem ok [07:32] ARGH [07:33] Lint01, the guys who confiscate you laptop at a US airport :) [07:33] mneptok, No joy. It's late here, so I'm going beddy-bye. Thanks for the help though. [07:33] Lint01: i assume you're old enough to have heard of "google" ;) [07:33] I forget what the acronym stands for [07:33] mneptok, how old does one have to be? [07:33] Transportation Security Administration [07:33] I thought Google mandated implants at birth now? [07:33] how to solve the sound problem [07:33] Lint01: TSA can be a pain in the neck...

[07:35] Myrtti: Yes ive installed it after typing login and password nothing happens [07:35] newb, X won't start by default [07:35] I don't know how to get it to autostart in Ubuntu these days (with upstart), but you can start it manually pretty easily [07:35] Jaem: Nothing starts [07:35] newb, my point exactly [07:36] can someone tell me why Ubuntu packages are gonna to install to /usr/local when you compile them? [07:36] installing X doesn't make it start [07:36] after like 5 minutes it starts telling me its sending kill to apache [07:36] jaem: Indeed!

[08:48] meowbuntu: grub2 guides make it easy :) --> http://delicious.com/dr_willis under the grub/grub2 links [08:49] where can i get help for winetricks? since i installed .net framwork and dx9 wine is all screwed up. Does anyone know how to get rid of winetricks? [08:49] hey, I got IRC working finally [08:49] Dr_Willis: ok now it runs but terminal window is visible and it kills gedit when closed [08:50] rahduke: it puts stuff in the .wine dir clean it out start from scratch :) [08:50] Lint01: thats weird. sounds like a gedit quirk [08:50] Dr_Willis: i've got a bunch of stuff installed, will i have to re-install everything? [08:50] rahduke: for wine.. yep.. depending on what you delete. [08:51] rahduke: you can have seperate .wine directories for diffrent apps if needed [08:51] Dr_Willis: so your saying delete everything in the .wine folder? including drive_c and stuff? [08:51] anyone have experience getting touochscreens towork? I'm on a Fujitsu P1510d running UNR 9.x [08:51] meowbuntu: but spinrite might take 2-4 weeks trying to fix the problem if its fixable then Spinrite will fix it for you..if spinrite told the HDD is not fixable..hence dumpster :) [08:51] rahduke: or just move .wine to .wine_old so you can toy with it [08:51] meowbuntu: fsck -cy /dev/sd?? [08:51] Dr_Willis, could i create the same idea on a cd. for older computers that dont boot usb [08:52] meowbuntu: yes. [08:52] cab_, that wont help. i need a live cd [08:52] Dr_ you dont have that usb on cd do you [08:53] i rarely use cd/dvd these days [08:53] meowbuntu: you can easily set ubuntu to oot off of a usb key [08:53] Im not sure how ya would put grub2 on a cd really... Hmm [08:53] hallo ! [08:54] Dr_Willis, ever thought of creating a live cd from the usb config. and putting it there so others can use it [08:54] meowbuntu: i dont knowhow you put grub2 on a cd image.. thats the hardpart [08:54] kaji, i know about that. its not reelevant to my question [08:54] I installed Debian on a VM, it installed fine, I can run the VM, but when X starts the window (X resolution?) is larger than my monitor, I can't see the whole desktop, I gave it 128MB of video, going fullscreen doesn't fix it; any ideas about how to solve it? [08:55] whois kFC [08:55] Dr_Willis, would it not be easy to make an iso file of the usb and then burn it to cd. [08:55] darolu_: /etc/X11/xorg.conf .. pastebin [08:56] meowbuntu: how do you make an 'iso file' from a cd? the filesystems are diffrent [08:56] darolu_, try #debian please [08:56] dd if=/dev/scd0 of=/tmp/file.iso [08:56] DrWillis, meowbuntu: dd if=/dev/sdc0,.................. kFC got it already [08:57] shall i point out. that wont work... [08:57] go try it [08:57] not to sure of the bytesize conversion though. [08:57] Dr_Willis, take your usb flash drive creat an iso of it. can that be done [08:57] meowbuntu: these guys seem to think you an dd it.. but i doubt if it that simple [08:57] ola [08:58] same reason you cant dd a .iso to a usb and have it work properly [08:58] mkisofs? [08:58] hello [08:58] Dr_Willis, have you tryed doing it. [08:58] anyone have experience getting touch screens to work? I'm on a Fujitsu P1510d running UNR 9.x [08:58] Dr_Willis" mkisofs.. [08:58] cab_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/380854/ [08:58] Thinking that something will not work and knowing are different things [08:58] meowbuntu: the virtual machine is running on ubuntu... [08:58] meowbuntu: theres a reason tools like unetbootin exist..but unetbootin installs syslinux. to boot the diffrent iso files you would need GRUB2 not syslinux [08:59] okey [08:59] so however you put the bootloader on a cd image... ivve never looked into that part. [08:59] darolu_: but its a debian-problem [08:59] meowbuntu: good luck on your objective, everyone else, goodbye... [08:59] Dr_Willis, if i understand things right. you can creat an iso image of whatever you like [08:59] How do I go about querying seahorse for a stored password? [09:00] meowbuntu: of course you can [09:00] meowbuntu: but the bootloader WILL be the issue.. and you dont just dd a hard drive/filesystem to a iso [09:00] goodby [09:00] That is, if I wanted to use it in a command, like: somecommand --password=`seahorse gimme password 5` [09:00] The details is what get you. [09:00] thats what mkisofs exists for. :) [09:01] iceroot: so I think I have to thank you; I wasn't sure if it was a VirtualBox problem only or if I could fix it using the actual debian vm [09:01] iceroot, Dr_Willis has a usb that can boot several iso. that he uses to fix computer problems. i am asking him to create an iso of it post it on web so people can burn it to there own cd or usb [09:01] meowbuntu: thers guids out on making that usb .. go make one.. try to convert it to iso. good luck [09:02] darolu_: this might help http://serverfault.com/questions/51628/ubuntu-login-screen-resolution-is-off [09:02] darolu_: for virtualbox-problems #vbox [09:02] darolu_: for debian-problems, #debian [09:02] iceroot: what confused me was a previous VM (winxp) I had the same problem but going fullscreen fixed it [09:02] Dr_Willis, ok when i havre time i may [09:02] what is the difference (under the hood) between using sudo apt-get install pkg and using synaptic packet manager from the menu? Is it 2 completely different packet managers? [09:02] making the usb is not very hard. format it to ext2/3 install grub2 make a grub menu.cfg :) [09:03] hi. is it possible to add right click menu for "dd" with Nautilus ? [09:03] cab_, iceroot: thanks for pointing me somewhere (hopefully the right direction) [09:03] meowbuntu: i saw a tool the other day that merged seeral mini disrtos onto one cd also. its in my delicious.com/dr_willis links somewhere [09:03] i'm needing something for tomoro but i'll have to use ubuntu 9.10 live cd to diagnode and try to fix things [09:03] meowbuntu: just a simple script [09:03] will directly if and off any sdb or sdc ? [09:03] will directly mount if and off any sdb or sdc ? [09:03] what is the difference (under the hood) between using sudo apt-get install pkg and using synaptic packet manager from the menu? Is it 2 completely different packet managers? [09:04] Diverdude: differnt tools using the same stuff underneeth. [09:04] Diverhood: the same thing [09:04] different front ends to the apt system [09:04] I'm trying to extract a .lzm using squashfs-tools, and am getting "can't find a SQUASHFS superblock" [09:04] o [09:04] hello [09:04] I need assistance... [09:04] meowbuntu: --> http://multicd.tuxfamily.org/#SupportedDistros [09:04] Dr_Willis, isa this it http://multicd.tuxfamily.org/#SupportedDistros [09:04] !lzm [09:04] lol [09:05] I deleted the network and power managment icon from my bar...how to restore it? [09:05] meowbuntu: that script dident work with Fetherlinux the other day when i tried [09:05] Krai, you'd have to write an extension for Nautilus for that, I dont completely understand the purpose of it though, you right click a HD and it dd if=hd of=what? [09:05] How do I go about querying seahorse for a stored password? That is, if I wanted to use it in a command, like: somecommand --password=`seahorse gimme password 5` [09:06] dd if=/folderX/*.iso of=/dev/sdX [09:06] if of [09:06] Dr_Willis, ok...so it does not matter which one is used? [09:06] Diverdude: dosent matter. [09:06] anyone???... I deleted the network and power managment icon from my bar...how to restore it? [09:07] theodore. right click on the panel select add applet. there must be a applet "notification area" [09:07] some user "paket" had problems with realtek audio today. he tried another driver as i told him, and then quit IRC to reboot. was the problem solved? [09:07] or something like this [09:07] Krai, mhmm that probably won't work as you expect it to though, dd is probably not what you need [09:07] add it. [09:07] i am mint user than i donno exactly what named it is [09:07] hmm i c stdisease [09:08] Dr_Willis, ok....and for my second question...isn't the idea of a packet manager that it should keep all programs installed using it, up to date automatically? I have on several occations found software which was very old in the packet manager [09:08] Diverdude: it gets updates from the REPOSITORIES.. if the repos are not up to date.. then the programs wont be [09:08] Krai:..thanx man...:) [09:09] Diverdude: there are updated unoffical repos you could use. Ubuntu uses a 6 mo relese cycle. so theres always stuff out of date [09:09] !latest [09:09] Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports. [09:09] okjey :) [09:09] Dr_Willis, mmm....but then the ubuntu repos are not up of date? [09:09] Diverdude: and the applications in the repositories are up to date with the best possible stability, not necessarily the latest [09:09] Diverdude: 6 mo release cycle.. see what bot says. [09:09] hello [09:09] Krai, what do you ultimately want accomplished though, to copy conents of .iso files to your file system, or directly to your HD as raw data?? [09:09] !release [09:09] Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 18 months to 5 years. More info at http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases [09:10] salut a vous!

Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr, ou #ubuntu-qc pour les Quebecois [09:10] Krai, because if the first, it's done in many steps, mount .iso to /tmp , cp -R /tmp /destination , umount /tmp [09:11] hmm i c [09:11] Dr_Willis, okay [09:11] thx [09:11] Krai, and writing Nautilus extensions isn't as trivial as you think so you could instead write a simple shell script and execute it from console [09:11] but i think it can be possible with weel codding [09:11] I have installed Zorin OS on my laptop and would like to ask if there is a better distribution because i feel it slow and the applications hangs often [09:11] yes i c :) forget my question :) [09:11] Krai, if you're up for it go ahead, #gnome might be a better place to start hehe [09:11] <_mikeru> is there any pidgin plugin with the same (or similar) funcionality of MessengerDiscovery's !imitate?

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. [09:13] newbie, check distrowatch.com too :-) [09:14] Hello I have a dvb usb device...how to watch dtv?applications? [09:14] newbie could be it was just relased.. so it was on the top of their list. [09:14] newbie, zorin is an ubuntu derivative; only ubuntu is supported here; you may wish to search their forums for help [09:14] newbie, and it's usually not such a good idea to just randomly pick a distro from the list :-) [09:14] Mint = Ubuntu ++ :)) [09:15] mint = annoying :) [09:15] Linux Mint :)) [09:15] plz guys help me [09:15] !mintsupport > Krai [09:15] Krai, please see my private message [09:15] it is what ubuntu should be :)) [09:15] newbie: with what?

[09:18] i would like to know what is more suitable for my laptop and my needs [09:18] newbie: depends on your needs and system specs. [09:19] Krai: linux mint has its own server irc.spotchat.org [09:19] newbie: we dont know what either are..unless you tell us [09:19] newbie, really, head over to http://distrowatch.com and compare and see what's most fit for your needs, you'll just get more confused asking people === Mowee`Bnc is now known as Mowee [09:19] Dr_Willis: well to be balanced, ubuntu's main frontpage doesn't mention debian [09:19] my system is Dell inspiron laptop and its 1.4 processor and 512 ram [09:20] Anybody here?

[09:21] Lcawte: ubuntu server is very easy to run [09:21] sagaci: even I got iTunes to work, I couldn't use the store? [09:21] almost easy for a child to do it [09:21] ShazbotMcMurder: yeah but after you get a few of them, you can sync to the ipod via ubuntu [09:21] Dr_Willis: err, run a python bot and possibly a local installation of MediaWiki [09:21] hehlp [09:21] Anybody here? I made a mess with my resources.list ? IS anybody available to help me ? [09:21] ShazbotMcMurder: you could try a vm.. that's what I would do.. you still need a windows license though [09:21] newbie: since your processor is a bit slow and you lack memory consider using a windows manager with what ever linux distro you chioce [09:21] sagaci: craappppyyyy [09:21] Lcawte: so run them.. :) [09:22] darolu_, i shut the xchat b4 writting how to run that file...

[09:22] I dont run your python bot.. or use mediawiki. so noidea what they use [09:23] archboxman, you mean that the windows interface is more suitable for my system [09:23] jazz: sudo sh ./yourfile [09:23] archboxman:Sorry dont know my own nick [09:23] ShazbotMcMurder: unless you need new high end games, itunes, photoshop, ubuntu should be able to do most things for you [09:23] Ok, IRC bot is python, I think ubuntu has dat.. and MediaWiki uses PHP, MySql, and possibly apache [09:23] !lamp | Lcawte [09:23] Lcawte: 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+) [09:23] newbie yes [09:23] newbie: check out distrowatch.com [09:23] so Zorin has a windows interface [09:23] mtx_init, you know what ? the greatest thing just happened: if you leave it long enough the kernel just goes on without bnx2 firmware :) [09:23] newbie: this is kinda a hard way to learn [09:24] But how do I get it onto like the /server/ so other people in my network can visit it? [09:24] mtx_init, thanks for the help anyway! [09:24] i'm on the distrowatch.com now [09:24] darolu_, gracias again. wrote it down this time... hehe [09:24] newbie: they all have a interace.. some are more like windows then others.. some are radically diffrent [09:24] clau2: ok great [09:25] mtx_init, it complains several times, at about 1 min interval, so it takes a while [09:25] Could anybody take a look to my sources.list file to see what i messed ? http://www.pastebin.com/d282890cc [09:25] Lcawte: give them your ip. let them go to http://###.###.###.###/ or use a dynamic dns service or set up a actual domain [09:25] Dr_Willis, yes I know each Os has its interface. But i want to work on linux not a copy of windows [09:25] newbie: there is crunchbag linux, linux mint also has fluxbox, again any of windows managers are not that friendly try maybe XFCE [09:25] jazz: no problem [09:25] newbie: none are a 'copy' of windows. some are more windows like then others [09:25] newbie: go try them out and see.. Most ubuntu based ones use gnome with some tweaks [09:25] Dr_Willis: you can host your own domains on Ubuntu right? How? [09:25] Dr_Willis: could u give me an help too ? [09:26] Lcawte: proberly can. and ive never bothered. [09:26] jackbrown: is there some specific issue with your sources.list? [09:26] hello all. is it possible to distibution upgrade from lts to lts without updating to other usual releases, means smoothly without hassle? [09:26] newbie: need to burn a copy of iso to cd or dvd and play with the distro's [09:26] spanther: thats a feature of the LTS - yes [09:26] archboxman, if i do not like to use a windows manager so what to use [09:27] xfce or lxde [09:27] newbie: if you have a graphical interface you will be using a 'window manager' not 'windows manager' [09:27] jackbrown: open your software sources (at system - admin), and check for duplicated sources; uncheck/delete those that are duplicated [09:27] Dr_Willis, so i don't need to follow the other distributions and can make clean safe jumps from one LTS to another? [09:27] Dr_Willis: yes i'm unable to upgrade packages correctly, [09:27] spanther: I expect lts->lts upgrades to be smooth.. considering what the idea of the lts is.. [09:27] http://www.pastebin.com/d282890cc [09:27] Varf [09:27] here is my source.list [09:27] newbie: thats a gernic term for a graphical user interface. a 'windowmanager' is a spcific program that manages the progrms windows you are seeing . [09:27] newbie, "Window Manager" is NOT "Windows manager" I think you're being confused [09:27] spanther: but I've never tried it myself [09:27] if my proxy is at 192.168.1.2 port 6588 is the correct command to setup ubuntu server to use it "http_proxy=http://192.168.1.1:6588/"? [09:27] Dr_Willis, sorry i did not notice the different [09:28] newbie, a "window manager" has nothing to do with the product from Microsoft [09:28] spanther: correct. it will always be possible to upgrade from LTS to LTS. [09:28] yes I got it now [09:28] newbie: windows does not mean 'ms windows' :) in all cases [09:28] newbie: here follow this link http://xwinman.org/ [09:28] anyone here using the netbook remix at all? [09:28] Slart, i just ask because in ubuntu update manager you can check two things. first is update with every distribution and the second is only upgrade to long term support distributions [09:28] jackbrown: so what happens if you 'sudo apt-get update' 'sudo apt-get upgrade' ? [09:28] ineptmofo: yes. On my.. netbook ! :) [09:28] it take ages to update and upgrade [09:28] sorry for this misunderstanding guys [09:29] Hi, I have no sound at all on a new installlation onto an HP Pavillion machine, all the setting seem as they should be: anyone with the same experience? [09:29] sometime is unable to dowload som packages anyway now i'm in upgrade gui and i'm upgrading [09:29] let's see what will happens [09:29] okay does somebody know what will be the next LTS? :) [09:29] !lts [09:29] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04). The next LTS release is scheduled to be !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [09:29] On your netbook under the Files & Folders section [09:29] how can i get it to show Filesystem under the Volumes section [09:29] ? [09:29] spanther, lucid lynx , it's alpha right now, #ubuntu+1 [09:29] nice! 10.04 is close :D [09:30] ineptmofo: i just put bookmarks to them in the file manager. [09:30] how do you do that ? [09:30] archboxman, so if its not "window manager" what should it be? "terminal manager"? [09:30] stdisease, okay [09:30] any application for using dvbt usb tuner appart kaffeine???? [09:30] spanther: yes.. upgrades between earlier (non-lts) versions sometimes didn't work as well as you might have wished.. but in my experience it's become better and better wich each new version.. I hope and expect the ubuntu people to really test the lts stuff.. including upgrades from earlier lts versions [09:30] ineptmofo: drag them over to the side bar.. or use the naiutulus bookmark manager dialogs [09:30] newbie: desktop enviroment [09:30] eww is there a simple LAMP installer? [09:31] newbie: you are using a window manager if you are using X and a GUI on Linux most likely. theres dozens of 'window maangers' you could be using.

[09:33] meowbuntu: i have several from 2gb to 8 [09:34] richard123> you can tee whether anybody else saw it here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam [09:34] *see [09:34] mneptok, what do you mean? [09:34] stdisease: which codeces? [09:34] jackbrown: looks like the server may haev a bad file. [09:34] spanther: don't worry about it. i'm rambling.

[09:34] hello [09:34] mneptok, ok :) [09:34] Dr_Willis, I'm neding basic disk maintance i am getting parted magic to start [09:35] jackbrown: the sources list wont make a single file itd downloading bad.. [09:35] ok [09:35] newbie: go to google search xfce and select images gives you idea on desktop enviroment with limited resources usage [09:35] theodore, I can't be sure, but use the search functions or look at kaffeine's dependency and see if there are any suggested packages that you haven't installed yet [09:35] jackbrown: if the server has a bad/goofed up file.. well the server has a bad file. Try a diffrent server for archive.ubuntu.com [09:35] hm, does ububtu have anything to access a shell (ssh.)

[09:37] I was just wondering if anything was built in [09:37] iceroot: uhhh ... bad advice. [09:37] newbie: the most important thig you can do in using linux is google search topics [09:37] Lcawte: on the ubuntu-pc you want to access you have to install the ssv server by typing sudo apt-get install openssh-server [09:37] mneptok: the best advice in history for computers [09:37] iceroot: there are people running Feisty with unfixed USNs affecting their kernels. [09:37] mneptok: your mileage may vary.. and i recall things working then breaking badly in the last release alpha/beta/whatever testing.. so i do NOT SUGGEST upgradeing to 9.10 unless you want to work with a system that may break at any time [09:38] mneptok: you know what i mean with that [09:38] Dr_Willis: 9.10. we're not talking 10.04. [09:38] mneptok: 9.10 is breaking [09:38] aer we? heh - i got too many #'s L( [09:38] :) [09:38] reading all these rlease schedules. and got version #;s backwards then [09:38] mneptok: stay here 30 minutes and see "my sound is not working", "grub 2 is not working" "problems with etx4" [09:39] iceroot: yeah, good idea. i should idle here more often. [09:39] mneptok, lol [09:39] You dont see theones that say 'my sound now works in 9.10, thank you' messages :) [09:39] Dr_Willis: hehe [09:39] iceroot: just for the record, my client is connected 24/7 and i'm a Canonical support alumnus. :P [09:40] Dr_Willis: i dont see them because the sound is not working after :) [09:40] does p7zip have a gui frount end i use ubuntu9.10 [09:40] Testng out the 10.04 kubuntu netbook edition.. it.. has major issues.. [09:40] meowbuntu: use fileroller - i belive [09:40] meowbuntu, ark, xarchiver, fileroller all I believe use it as backend for working on 7z files [09:40] hey, i accidentally mad everything huge, while i was trying out different themes. Can someone help me make it smaller again? [09:41] ori: select a differnt theme ? :) [09:41] i am wanting to unzip a zip file [09:41] meowbuntu: why not use unzip then? [09:41] !info unp [09:41] ay o from command line ok [09:41] right, so I installed LAMP, where does it go to/where do I put the stuff I want on the server?

Version 1.0.15 (karmic), package size 10 kB, installed size 76 kB [09:41] meowbuntu: unzip filename or use the gui with right click on the file [09:41] Lcawte: /var/www/ for the apac he-directory [09:41] I dont know how to get more sources for packets [09:42] Dr_Willis: lol tried it, everything is now in the newsize [09:42] OLA [09:42] And I dont know what would be the best firewall. Firestarter doesnt gives me must. [09:42] mutch* [09:42] brojericho: iptables but why need a firewall? [09:42] iceroot: thanks again :D Does that mean anything in there people with my IP will see? [09:43] iceroot: i dunno how to set them right [09:43] Lcawte: if you dont use .htaccess yes [09:43] SORRY BUT CAN YOU SPEAK ENGLISH? [09:43] Cristina_: no [09:43] SPANISH SORRY [09:43] Dr_Willis, iceroot is there not an app like 7zip on linux. [09:43] !es | Cristina_ [09:43] Cristina_: 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. [09:43] !sp | Cristina_ [09:43] grr [09:43] iceroot, :) [09:43] isnt it called (sp)ain [09:43] Cristina_: #ubuntu-es [09:43] it's the language, 'espanol' with the tile on the n [09:44] CUANTOS AÑOS TENEIS? [09:44] iceroot: in Spain they call it "Espana" [09:44] Cristina_: pf, Ingles solamente is esta canale [09:44] mneptok: ah ok [09:44] any good how-tows to configure iptables or programs for it? [09:44] anyone here set up a domain on ubuntu? [09:44] CUANTOS AÑOS TENEIS? [09:44] bad idea to tie it to a single country [09:44] meowbuntu: 7zip is just a archive manager front end gui.. so thers dozens of those [09:44] brojericho: use ufw but why need a firewall? [09:45] I dont find windows 7zip gui that good... [09:45] brojericho: iptables can be configured with text file [09:45] fileroller is not available in ubuntu repos [09:45] hey, i accidentally mad everything huge, while i was trying out different themes. Can someone help me make it smaller again? [09:45] its installed by default i thought meowbuntu [09:45] meowbuntu: file-roller [09:45] it is not so easy at the beginning [09:45] but very easy in the end [09:45] PLEASE IN SPANISH [09:45] mvampire: I mean some prog to work on those iptables [09:45] Cristina_: /join #ubuntu-es [09:45] Is there anybody who could tell me hou to rescue data from NTFS (sdb1) to EXT3 (sda1) by ddrescue? [09:46] Cristina_: Ingles *SOLAMENTE* aqui. estoy haciendo cansado de decirle. [09:46] brojericho: ufw is using iptables [09:46] can i try another ubuntu os beside the one i have now? [09:46] Y VOS PORQUE HABLAS EN ESPAÑOL [09:46] newbie: of course [09:46] SnowmanX11: you use ddrescue to image the drive to a file. then you mount the file via the loopback feature of mount. [09:46] Cristina_: stop it here ad go in the spain-channel [09:46] la vista [09:46] Dr_Willis, archive manager cant unzip this .zip file [09:46] thx iceroot [09:46] iceroot: it's really limited... so I have 2 choices? Change textfile or use firestarter? [09:47] meowbuntu: try right click -> extract. i cant recall the last time i used a zip file. [09:47] newbie: you can use dualboot or use virtualbox [09:47] meowbuntu: or i use the command line. and the unp command [09:47] brojericho: again, why you need a firewall? [09:47] .zip are not linux formats [09:47] better to configure iptables with text files. I mean You need to create (if not) some file like iptables.rules in /etc, then write your rules there, then apply rules using: [09:47] iptables-restore /etc/iptables.rules [09:47] Is there any other way to copy files from NTFS (bad sectors) to clean formatted EXT3? [09:47] but i do not have a dvd in my system, so can I do it with a usb memory? [09:47] Dr_Willis, i did it would not work [09:47] thats a best way to work with iptables [09:47] meowbuntu: install the correct program apt-cache search is showing you for your format [09:47] meowbuntu: zips are just one of many types of archives.. perhaps you need to install unzip [09:47] !info unzip [09:47] unzip (source: unzip): De-archiver for .zip files. In component main, is optional. Version 6.0-1 (karmic), package size 176 kB, installed size 396 kB [09:47] but you need a time to understand howto write rules [09:48] iptables is painful at first [09:49] Dr_Willis, no unzip comes up in terminal [09:49] Yes, I spent some time before I have configures it [09:49] any good how-tows for iptables? [09:49] configurED [09:49] !info unzip | meowbuntu [09:49] i dont like terminal apps [09:49] meowbuntu: unzip (source: unzip): De-archiver for .zip files. In component main, is optional. Version 6.0-1 (karmic), package size 176 kB, installed size 396 kB [09:49] meowbuntu, 'sudo apt-get install unzip' then you can run it [09:49] meowbuntu: get over it.. and install the package [09:50] note where it says 'optional' - its not instlled by default [09:50] its already installed as i said [09:50] then unzip foo.zip should work.. [09:50] brojericho: try to google. If You will understand - it is good. [09:50] I can send You my iptables.rules file if You are interested [09:50] unzip data1 -x joe => extract all files except joe from zipfile data1.zip [09:51] brojericho: I mean that if You will not understand this means that you found a bad guide [09:51] thx mvampire [09:53] sh [09:53] newbie another option, provided you have the space, is to install xubutu, kubuntu, edubuntu, ubuntu studio and/or mythbuntu on top of what you allready have.... and select at the login screen which to use..... is hard to undo however.... not impossible.... but complicated. [09:53] how can i enable enable ROOT LOGIN in ubuntu 9.10 [09:54] Ok, I'm looking at https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/dns-configuration.html < I just want to run my own domains for use on my host, what one do i need :S [09:54] kumar-klescet: You mean it's disabled by default?

[09:56] ok.... but iwas lookin forward to actuall login in root account [09:56] Prizren_: Is what it's set to drwxr-xr-x [09:56] Maybe try some chmod/chown [09:56] it is that the root is now owner of the files [09:56] kumar-klescet: there shouldent be a need to do that.. use sudo like ubuntu is designed to do [09:56] i did not copy them wiht -a [09:56] anybody? [09:57] so I dont know the original user [09:57] #join iptables [09:57] hey, do you know of a good tool to do drive backup and restores? [09:57] kumar-klescet: that's exactly what happens with sudo -i [09:57] sorry, wrong command :) [09:57] Rirto6, [09:57] Lcawte: Why not a simple hosts file edit?

[09:58] Prizren: kk [09:59] Rirto6: So I can register myself a domain so other people can see my site without having to know my IP [09:59] Yes [09:59] kumar-klescet set a password for it and TaDa...... [09:59] Or you can use a free Dynamic IP service [09:59] eg; no-ip [09:59] Lcawte: or use a dynamic dns servife [09:59] hey i'm coming from the #compiz channel, they told me that i need to update my kernel... can someone tell me how to do that, and what's the worst case scenario? [09:59] Dr_Willis: Just beat you to it :P [09:59] domain works for me? :P [10:00] ok got it... thnx [10:00] hannes815: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get linux-kernels [10:00] or something [10:00] lol [10:00] Lcawte: you got the money.. you may as well let someone host the whold site for you [10:00] Lcawte: Well godaddy is good, I know that hak5 gives you discount coupons, as will retailmenot [10:00] rirto6: what's the worst case? [10:00] Dr_Willis: Money? whoever heard of that [10:00] hannes815: Windows [10:00] Lcawte: domains are not free.. [10:01] hannes815: You should be pretty safe, as we can switch between kernels in the GRUB menu.lst [10:01] Even when hosting them yourself? [10:01] Rirto6: LOL, but i mean, i really don't want to mess around with my system... [10:01] Are intel g845 graphics drivers known to be slow in 9.04 and upwards? I'm sure my computer shouldn't be this slow. [10:01] (or just GRUB menu!) [10:01] hannes815: Very little risk [10:01] Rirto6: that's true. so i guess i'll try it out. anything that i need to look out for? [10:01] Mac [10:01] :P [10:01] hi anyone know what hal does linux/ubuntu ? whats it do ? [10:01] It's the hardware-abstraction layer [10:02] thanks Rirto6 [10:02] It's on almost every if not every OS [10:02] You're welcome :) === krups is now known as krups_v2 [10:02] dpkg check [10:02] Rirto6: no hal will no longer be used [10:02] okies ta i should have it by default then on my 9.04 & 9.10 boxes eh Rirto6 ? === krups_v2 is now known as krups [10:03] Dr_Willis: Lcawte> Even when hosting them yourself? [10:03] iceroot: But the idea is the same? [10:03] !hal [10:03] Hal is in the process of being depreciated. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Halsectomy and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_abstraction_layer for more info. [10:03] Just a different way of abstraction? [10:03] hahaha, Halsectomy [10:03] Rirto6: yes, the idea is still alive [10:03] ta bott :) [10:03] iceroot: Does MenuetOS have a HAL?

[10:12] Rirto6, what is that do [10:12] hannes815: Must've given you the wrong command [10:12] !linux [10:12] Linux is the kernel (core) of the Ubuntu operating system. Many operating systems use Linux as a kernel. For more information on Linux in general, visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux [10:12] !kernel [10:12] The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [10:12] Slart: Rirto6: i used sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get linux-kernels [10:12] !kernel-update [10:13] just managed for the first time to get wow to work with wine :D yepee... [10:13] hannes815: sudo apt-get install .. and second I don't think there is a package called "linux-kernels".. I'm not sure though [10:13] !info linux-kernels [10:13] hannes815: apt-cache search linux-image [10:13] hi all, wondering if anyone is running a 8.04 LTS machine [10:13] Package linux-kernels does not exist in karmic [10:14] ghozt why? [10:14] hannes815: Then choose which one you want [10:14] & explicity tell it to apt-get install [10:14] advo: want to confirm that I am running a custom kernel [10:14] ghozt: yes [10:14] how can I set skype to start automatically for a user using the command line? [10:14] Dr_Willis: Huh? [10:14] so the question is which kernel version are your LTS machine running? [10:15] !info mc | Lcawte [10:15] Lcawte: mc (source: mc): midnight commander - a powerful file manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 2:4.6.2-2ubuntu1 (karmic), package size 2102 kB, installed size 6292 kB [10:15] mine is 2.6.32.7-x1 [10:15] Lcawte: learn the command line. or run a file manager as root to access system directories. [10:15] ghozt: 2.6.24-26-generic [10:15] ghozt: not sure I'm fully up-to-date though [10:16] slart: thanks, I think you are up to date. I think I'm running a custom kernel which is why ufw is failing [10:16] Rirto6, remastersys is different to http://multicd.tuxfamily.org [10:16] ghozt: you're welcome [10:16] Anyone knows how to eliminate a dual boot? Leaving only Linux, starting straight away, without even seeing grub? [10:17] hello all, can I ask a question - I want new program windows to open in background in Ubuntu 9.10, but I cant find a solution. I mean that, for example, when I open console and start wrting some command, if I receive a letter in this moment, my mail program opens over my console. It is very annoying. Or when I run several programs by clicking on tray icons, first (e.g.) Skype opens, I start to enter a password and in this moment second pr [10:17] meowbuntu: eh? [10:18] Dr_Willis: Installed the package, now how do I run it? [10:18] mvampire: thers a 'prevent focus stealing option' in compiz i belive. [10:18] q [10:18] Lcawte: use sudo as needed.. i use the mc file manager for such tasks 'sudo mc' [10:18] Dr_Willis: I have tried but without any result [10:19] could someone help me with a port forwarding problem? i'm trying to get port 9999 on a machine to forward to port 80 on another machine using iptables. the packets are getting to the second machine (as tcpdump says) but not to apache. ideas anyone? [10:19] and now I'm using metacity [10:19] but I can go back to compiz [10:19] hi [10:19] how do I know if a package comes by default in ubuntu? [10:19] fsufitch: can you connect to port 80 from a different machine? [10:20] have someone tried x-plane on ubuntu? [10:20] how to put a folder in the PATH environment? [10:20] without having to go through the port forward machine? [10:20] ghozt, i can connect to port 80 directly, yes [10:20] so apache works? [10:20] how to put a folder in the PATH environment? [10:20] can someone help me get to #ubuntu through Empathy? [10:20] ghozt, yup [10:20] hello [10:20] Slart: k, so now i found out there about a million different kinds of kernel possibilities, but i don't have a clue, which one to install (using sudo apt-get install and what the package name is) [10:20] do you have mesenger [10:20] ghozt, i also disabled ufw, on the second machine but that didnt help at all [10:20] fsufitch, how manu network interfaces you have and is apache listening on all of them? [10:20] i install code weavers in my ubuntu karmic [10:20] what about the return packets, are they getting natted back to 9999? [10:21] can someone help me get to #ubuntu through Empathy? [10:21] hannes815: you want a special kernel? or just the latest one? [10:21] do u think the windows program is run correctly under my ubuntu karmic [10:21] stdisease, how do i check which interfaces apache is listening on? this may be the problem since the forwarding is going through a VPN [10:21] i am going [10:21] Dr_Willis: ok, I think I have the mc open.. but I dont quite get it.. [10:21] what do u think? [10:21] fsufitch: netstat -tna | grep 80 [10:21] Slart: CalimeroTeknik: then you need the 2.6.32.8 [10:21] how to put a folder in the PATH environment? [10:22] Slart: so i guess, this is the latest one=? [10:22] hannes815: if you want the latest one there is a thing called a meta package [10:22] fsufitch: that will tell you that it's either listening on a specific ip address or all of them (0.0.0.0:80) [10:22] i got a problem i used hamachi on linux to try communicate over lan with a friends hamachi... we can see each other but they still cant send package info cause tunneling issue [10:22] can someone help me get to #ubuntu through Empathy? [10:22] ghozt, it's 0.0.0.0:80 [10:22] the only listen line is: tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN [10:22] hannes815: in this case.. if you install the package linux-image-generic it will install the latest kernel.. and update to the latest when that comes out [10:23] lauritz: hm... can u connect or ping the other host/ [10:23] fsufitch: then it's listening on all interfaces [10:23] enzotib: lo so che ti sto scocciando, non hai altri sugerimenti per me ? [10:23] so how do i get this sudo apt-get linux-image-generic? [10:23] lauritz: can u ping the other host? [10:23] hannes815: almost.. sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic [10:24] ghozt, and i can reach port 80 of the second machine from the one that's forwarding using its internal VPN ip [10:24] Slart: hehe.. well i'm trying hopefully i'll get it someday... [10:24] can someone help me get to #ubuntu through Empathy? [10:24] hannes815: apt-get can do lots of things with packages.. there's "remove", "install", "purge" and so on.. so you have to tell it to "install" the package [10:24] how do I get myself root access? [10:24] Lcawte: use sudo [10:24] !sudo | Lcawte [10:24] sudo -i [10:24] Lcawte: 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) [10:25] fsufitch: so it sounds like the problem is iptables and nat [10:25] Lcawte: learning to use mc - isent too hard. [10:25] ori: whats the problem [10:25] hi, having problems with orca, believe a box come up saying its marked as untrusted. dont know how to trust it over ssh since i can not use orca now [10:25] fsufitch: which iptables rules do you have in place for the port forwarding? [10:25] ghozt, i followed the instructions here: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/IP-Masquerade-HOWTO/forwarders.html#PORTFW-VIA-IPTABLES-PREROUTING [10:26] Fudge: what is orca ? [10:26] Dr_Willis: You said I need to run it as root? But I didnt get how you get root [10:26] Lcawte: i gave the exact command to use [10:26] !sudo | Lcawte [10:26] Lcawte: 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) [10:26] Lcawte: use sudo as needed.. i use the mc file manager for such tasks 'sudo mc' [10:26] ikonia : hey after 3 years u still here hm.. :) [10:26] Slart: linux-image-generic is already the newest version. [10:26] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded. [10:26] plus it said something about packages that i could apt-get autoremove [10:26] valari: always [10:26] 'sudo mc' [10:26] !sudo | Lcawte [10:26] hannes815: then you should already have the latest kernel installed [10:26] ghozt, i also added $IPTABLES -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o $EXTIF -p tcp -j MASQUERADE [10:26] ikonia: maybe 3 more years [10:26] code weavers [10:26] hannes815: yes.. you can remove packages with apt-get [10:26] Lcawte: you may want to read up on a few linux/shell beginner guides. [10:26] ok, Dr_Willis I ran sudo MC.. [10:27] ikonia screen reader [10:27] what is all about [10:27] ghozt, do i need to configure something on the machine that the packets are being forwarded to? [10:27] Lcawte: i dident say 'MC [10:27] sorry caps [10:27] its 'mc' :) [10:27] hannes815: what are you trying to do here? installing something? fixing something? [10:27] and mc has a nice little fancy file maanger interface you can use over ssh, or console or other places [10:27] yeah I know, I hit caps by acciedent while I was talking in IRC [10:27] Slart: uname -r : 2.6.31-19-generic [10:27] Lcawte: if you got mc instgalled that is... [10:27] fsufitch: yes, in sysctl.conf add/uncomment net/ipv4/ip_forward=1 [10:28] Slart: i'm trying to get a dual-head with intel chipset and compiz set up [10:28] yes I do [10:28] hannes815: ok, and it's not working? and you need a newer kernel version? [10:28] hannes815, there's a good chance of that not working. Which intel chipset? [10:28] ghozt, this is on the machine inside the vpn, or the one with external access? [10:28] Slart: that's what they told me over at #compiz [10:28] Dr_Willis: But if I go into my var/www file I still dont get anything other than a permissions error [10:28] hannes815: hmm.. do you know what kernel version you need? [10:28] Seveas: i945 i think [10:29] fsufitch: sorry misread your question. if the apache machine can talk to the forwarding machine then i don't think so. what is it's dedfault gateway? [10:29] oh wait hang on [10:29] Slart: CalimeroTeknik: then you need the 2.6.32.8 [10:29] Lcawte: if you run 'sudo mc' you should be able to move/delete anything with the mc file manager thats running [10:29] Slart: that one [10:29] hannes815, most intel chipsets (or their drivers) can't handle pixmaps large enough for a dual-head compuiz setup. [10:29] hannes815: intel chipset which one do a dmesg to find out [10:29] test [10:29] fsufitch: can you explain how the vpn fits into the picture? [10:29] Dr_Willis: I was using it wrong, I was tryping in the numbers insted of clicking xD [10:30] Lcawte: use the F keys [10:30] valari: dmesg? [10:30] hannes815: hmm.. well.. the easy way is to wait until 10.04 comes out.. it's probably got a newer kernel version.. [10:30] F1 = first button, F6 = 6th item [10:30] hannes815: but that's two months away [10:30] hannes815:dmseg srry :) [10:30] hannes815, you shouldn't be running a lucid kernel in a karmic system. That's going to be problematic. If you have a spare disk/partition try out lucid alpha and see if it works [10:30] Slart; im starting to thing so too... [10:30] ghozt, the two machines are on the same VPN (using OpenVPN). the forwarding machine is the server, and the apache machine is a client. the requests come in to the forwarding machine via eth0, and need to be forwarded over tap0 to the other machine [10:31] valari: well mseg doesn't ring a bell eiter ;) === d3xter is now known as eliteSchaf [10:31] valari: sorry [10:31] Dr_Willis: How do I rename a directory? [10:31] Slart: well thanks though... [10:31] Lcawte, mv old_name new_name [10:31] McL0VIN: f6 = RenameMove [10:31] hannes815: hope you find a way to make it work [10:31] Seveas: guess ill wait for the update.. [10:31] Which command to use to change the X Server [10:31] oops Lcawte F6 :) [10:31] Lcawte: time to check the mc docs :) [10:32] hannes815: reboot and go into the bios ... duh :( ull get everythin there tell me the chipset number and were done :) [10:32] So windows was nice enough to nuke my MBR. I had grub installed on a seperate partition, /dev/sda7 was mounted to /boot [10:32] any links on how to recover this? [10:32] gent: x-server to..... [10:32] !grub | cbx [10:32] cbx: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

[10:32] this didn't work https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [10:32] ctrl+alt+F1,F2,F3...... [10:32] fsufitch: and you can see the packets which have been forwarded hitting the apache box? [10:32] ghozt, yes, via tcpdump [10:32] valari: isn't there a more convenient way... i'll guess i'll look up my laptop in the internet real quick, and tell you then huh? [10:33] hannes815: oh its a lappy yeah pls go ahead [10:33] what does tcpdump say on tap0? does it show any related packets from the apache box? [10:33] fsufitch: on the forwarding box I mean [10:33] Seveas: As I mentioned, I had put grub2 on a seperate partition so the recovery method isn't working :( [10:34] I have a question about Ubuntu and Nvidia vs ATI , 1366 boards because they can run three graphics cards, ect. [10:34] ingwar: yeah [10:34] ok, how do I select all in sudo mc ;p [10:34] hi guys , what is the best theme for ubuntu?

[10:35] ^_^ [10:35] hannes815: k its a 945GM and pls pm me the prblm as i was nt there earlier :( srry [10:35] Seveas: not really, I let it mount to /media/ [10:35] fsufitch: what's the default gw on the apache box? [10:36] cbx, that should work too [10:36] what failed? [10:36] Seveas: it said it worked [10:36] but the menu doesn't come up [10:36] Theres the proposed themes for the next release that are out on some sites.. they all look very nice [10:36] only the text terminal / grub2 [10:36] ghozt, how would i find that out?

[10:37] found it, dw [10:37] hannes815: a 945GM cant handle most of the compiz stuff and multi-moniter steups for this chipset (slow one!!) would be overkill...!! [10:37] ghozt, to the VPN ip range, it's 0.0.0.0 [10:37] !training [10:37] documentation is to be found at http://help.ubuntu.com and http://wiki.ubuntu.com - General linux documentation: http://www.tldp.org - http://rute.2038bug.com [10:37] fsufitch: the default gateway is an ip address which the machine will use pass any traffic for an ip address it doesn't know about [10:38] Dr_Willis: go take a break [10:38] :D [10:38] ïèøåò íå îòïðàâëÿååòñÿ â ÷àò [10:38] looksharp: loading up Lord Of the Rings Online actually.. :) was watching cartoons... [10:38] hi all [10:38] òàì [10:38] i see [10:38] iflema thx [10:38] fsufitch: what does the line say where the destination is 0.0.0.0 [10:38] Ok, a 920 machine needs a couple 5770s or a 5850, like that. Ubuntu likes older Nvidia. I figure if I am going to buy and build a 920 toy for two thousand it should run linux too. [10:38] i have it blueray 1080p :p [10:39] valair: well compiz worked fine with only one monitor... [10:39] fsufitch: should have the flags UG [10:39] ghozt, oh, it shows some 128.x.x.x ip from inside my college's network [10:39] ghozt, there are two lines with UG flags. the other one has default gateway of 172.16.0.1, which is my VPN server [10:40] i'm sorry my question but i install ubuntu and dont comes the recovery mode and the mem test ... when i boot and there is nathing in the grub i'm using karmic [10:40] fsufitch: would the machine with that IP address know about the forwarding machine? [10:40] fsufitch: ignore my last question [10:40] ghozt, yeah, they're 172.16.0.1 and 172.16.0.2 respectively :) [10:40] s0me_0ne_: what do you mean there is nothing in grub ? [10:41] Where's firefox stored... it wants something to open a phtml file [10:41] hannes815: i would not recommend this (its not possible to use 2 moniters with compiz on! on 945GM) and with 2 moniters it will be an extended desktop [10:41] je passe vite fait dire un petit coucou à tous les français [10:41] Lcawte: /usr/bin - but phtml files are normally served from a web server [10:41] ikonia well just goes to ubuntu and dont look no grub menu (recovery and the mem) [10:41] Hmm/ My netbook can handle compiz and 2 monitors I think. :) but I may be wrong... [10:41] hm... something on localhost [10:41] fsufitch: what's the destination associated with the 172.16.0.1 gateway? [10:42] ghozt, 172.16.0.0 [10:42] Dr_willis: depends on hardware [10:42] valari: hmm.. would've been nice.. well do you know another possibility: my real problem is that i have the cairo dock running, and there's no real transparency, so it kinda hides behind windows, and stuff that's supposed to be transparent just looks ugly. is there another possibility like xcompmgr? [10:42] fsufitch: the packets which you see in tcpdump what is their source ip address? [10:43] hi [10:43] hi all, [10:43] ikonia isnt it normal apears the grub whith (recovery and memo test) to in karmic in the grub after install? [10:43] i have accidentally somehow removed the only sudoer user from the sudoer file, what do i do now? i can not do any sudo tasks [10:44] I'm trying sudo cp /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/etc/resolv.conf and getting chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': No such file or directory [10:44] ghozt, if i'm reading this right, it actually appears their source is the actual machine making the request (trying to load the page) [10:44] I must have the wrong chat room [10:44] * Lcawte hits head on desk [10:44] hannes815: its linux :( and compiz iz the most desent looking mod and cario dock?? [10:44] * nathan7 replaces Lcawte's desk with a nail [10:45] why does this ask me to open the files every time, its supposed to open a setup window in the browser [10:45] * Rirto6 replaces Lcawte's nail with a desk [10:45] fsufitch: that makes sense. what is happening is that the packet is hitting the apache box and the apache box is sending the response to the default gateway which is the 128.x.x.x address [10:45] valari: what's wrong with the cairo dock? [10:45] ghozt, or rather, its net name [10:45] hannes815: i don know hat it is :( [10:45] hannes815: No!!! Better not to multi-task [10:45] ghozt, that's rather silly, that's probably because of this two-interface thing i have going here... [10:45] :D [10:46] hannes815: go for beryl or compiz-fusion [10:46] valari: cairo-dock is a mac-like dock just like awn [10:46] hannes815: go for beryl or compiz-fusion [10:46] hannes815: go for beryl or compiz-fusion [10:46] * Lcawte hits silly things [10:46] Rirto6: no multi-task? [10:46] iPhone OS [10:46] :D [10:46] fsufitch: to solve it you'll need to get iptables to alter the source ip address in the packets so that the apache box thinks it's coming from 172.16.0.1 [10:46] fsufitch: not sure how to do that though :( [10:46] hannes815: Welcome to the 80s [10:47] ghozt, i think that's masquerading, i just have to switch the out interface on it [10:47] fsufitch: brb [10:47] valari: isn't compiz fusion not gonna work eiter, since it's just like compiz? and what's beryl? [10:47] or that's my crazy guess [10:47] Rirto6: that's why i want it running on linux... [10:47] hannes815: beryl pls google :( sad ness [10:47] * valari sighs [10:47] ok, I did this on windows yesterday fine, why wont it work in ubuntu [10:47] !beryl [10:47] Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion.

[10:52] like, if an HTML file doesnt have a .html extention, it doesnt get colored right [10:52] I need a little help with variables in bash scripts [10:53] valari: so i'll have to give up and wait [10:53] mdel: gedit has a lagnuage slection option in the tab use that [10:53] I have some arguments being passed to a function, I want to use them in an array [10:53] SwedeMike, don't i need a su password being in the rescue mode ? [10:53] valari: LOL [10:53] wow [10:53] 1. ubuntu automatically logged out. 2. sometimes when waking up from sleep ubuntu is unable to show anything on screen - only blank black screen. any solution? is 1st prob is due to virus or hacking????? [10:53] nexus: I don't know what it'll do when going into rescue mode if sudoers is empty, but it's worth a try. [10:54] hannes815: nah jst throw your laptop out of the window thats the immidiate solution === wc3 is now known as PolitikerNEU [10:54] nexus: otherwise you have to boot live cd, mount your volume and edit sudoers from there [10:54] how do i prevent ubuntu from changing the namesevers i set in /etc/resolv.conf [10:54] abhi_nav: GNU/Linux only can have a virus if you give him chmod +x permissions and sudo password, so it can't be it [10:54] ned-: set it in network manager instead. [10:54] ok, thanks i try [10:54] I want to assign $# number of parameters to an array of $# size. The variables are input as numbers from $1 to $# [10:54] ok but how to solve this now?? [10:54] valari: thanks :) any idea if theres a gEdit SVN plugin by chance? [10:54] SwedeMike, i dont use the standard gnome manager i have to do it from the command prompt. [10:54] abhi_nav: Sleep funtion fails me too, I think they should fix it [10:55] mdel: dun thinkso [10:55] unless theres a way to launch that exec from the cmd prompt. [10:55] 1st prob occurs for just now for 1st time only. but 2nd prob is occuring for many times === nick_ is now known as Guest11149 [10:55] ned-: then what is overwriting it? dhcp-client? [10:55] SwedeMike, i'd imagine so. [10:55] valari: ah weak... oh well, I _almost_ have gedit working like textmate :) [10:55] ned-: then you should look into thcanging that.

[10:55] how to check on which /dev is assigned my webcam ? [10:55] iflema, uh. that has nothing to do with what im talking about. [10:56] ok no virus. is there any key combination that used to log out? or why that ubuntu automatically logged me out?? [10:56] I do that from the /etc/network -scripts [10:56] SwedeMike, aha. thank you sir. [10:56] ned-: IPs (dynamics/statics) are provided by your ISP [10:56] abhi_nav: its an auto logut use preferences [10:56] overflow, uh im not talking about that, im talking about nameservers.

[11:07] ned-: Can you help? :P [11:08] hi, i'm running ubuntu without reinstall for a couple years now, and my feeling tells me that it's bloated with a bunch of unnecessary stuff that i don't need, but whenever i use the client to autoremove, i get stuff that i think i still need but don't know. how big is the chance to break the sys with that? === hersoy is now known as ersoy [11:11] hannes815: in my experience autoremove rarely does something bad [11:11] what does "same version in "channel software" mean Im trying to install some .debs eh [11:12] Gheddy_Zarc: I think it means that the same thing you're trying to install is available from the repositories [11:13] can someone tell me what "invalid module format" mean when loading a kernel module?

I had major problems with it using 9.04.. never did find out what the problem was.. but it got fixed in 9.10 [11:31] hi [11:31] wuzhappenin. [11:32] hey all...quick question regarding the download procedure [11:32] brahmana|web, you should try with --purge remove :? [11:32] If i download it via the windows installer, i just run that, set up a root password, and it does the rest? yes?? [11:32] Wonder if you could edit the source while installing. [11:33] and it doesn't make it so i dual boot... it sets ubuntu as the only OS right? [11:33] eniac_petrov: let me try that.. [11:33] To make the installer download all the packages from the internet. [11:33] Eladar: thtas using WUBI - thats not a 'regular' install. I suggest doing a normnal nstall instead of using WUBI [11:33] Eladar: no root password.. the rest sounds reasonable [11:33] Eladar: I agree with Dr_Willis .. wubi can be weird sometimes. [11:33] so you reckon I should download te ISO, image burn that to a disk, and do it that way? [11:34] Eladar: yes [11:34] I was tempted to get it sent to me...but then i saw "it takes 6 to 10 weeks [11:34] " [11:34] Slart i had no problems with 9.04 but now with 9.10 ;) [11:34] Eladar: mine took 3 [11:34] any way to fix this? [11:34] I don't quite understand how to burn an ISO to a disk so it still behaves like an ISO though [11:34] eniac_petrov: is there a way to tell apt to forget about any pending install or uninstall items and get the db to a sane state? [11:34] MrGoodkat: Ubuntu works in mysterious ways =) [11:34] Eladar: use a tool like imgburn or infrarecorder [11:35] After an update my titlebar's gone missing [11:35] !burniso | Eladar [11:35] Eladar: To burn an ISO image of a CD in Linux, Mac OS or Windows, read the howto at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [11:35] whats wrong ? [11:35] Eladar: i behaves like a 'cd' :) [11:35] the isofile is an Image of a cd. [11:35] my bin file won't run. It just says "Segmentation error" [11:36] Alex_Mac1: then they are broken.. or not compiled for your architecture [11:36] brahmana|web, I straighten these problems with synaptic [11:36] Okay thankss [11:36] eniac_petrov: and how to do that? [11:36] eniac_petrov: also i get the same error message with --purge remove [11:36] can I rotate a log manually? [11:37] brahmana|web, there is a section named "Coustom Filters" and in there - "broken packages" [11:37] Alex_Mac1: could of course be a memory problem as well [11:37] Compile from source: There is "make" in Karmic, when or what for do I need to install the build-essentials (meta-package including make) [11:38] Slart: I just used apt-get to install it, but when I try to open it I get the error "quassel: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libkio.so.5: undefined symbol: _ZN15QProgressDialog16staticMetaObjectE" [11:38] clear [11:38] nomnex: sudo apt-get install build-essential <-- note.. no s on the end [11:39] Alex_Mac1: hmm.. might be a problem with that package.. sounds like the package author missed something [11:39] ola [11:39] kien eres [11:39] !es | pablo [11:39] pablo: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

[11:41] MrGoodkat, excuse me, I am reading previous messages [11:41] Slart, >build-essential is always needed if you're going to compile stuff - fine, thanks. I will install then [11:44] if the package is in teh repos.. and you want to compile a newer version from source.. the package manager can install needed dependenciues/libs/dev files for you also.

[12:47] allen: tell us the actual error and what you're doing that creates the error [12:47] photon: kbdrate I guess [12:48] jrib: doesn't work, since those settings are encrypted at this stage.

[12:51] i guess i don't know the error, i cant create the start up disk.... that is my problem [12:51] salut tlmd [12:51] photon: oh, so you're only dealing with grub at that point, no kernel yet?

DKMS module build expects a 2.6.32 kernel and wont compile for 2.6.33 [12:56] When I log in to a system through ssh and it tells me "System restart required", how do I find out why this is required (i.e. for a kernel update or anything else)?

Had to apply one as installing 2.6.32 also but google cant find one for me regarding 2.6.33 [13:01] found patches for 2.6.32 on the phoronix forums [13:01] MadMike: you need to know who wrote the patch or where it's hosted [13:01] ikonia, ok thx. will continue to search [13:02] yo [13:02] co tam??

[13:03] aha [13:03] what norton ghost is the best to use to backup linux systems/windows systems that does complete backs to disk [13:03] KampfKarotte: it's scaling, when it needs to use more it will scale up [13:03] sdifuhgsiuh sugheughsg [13:03] V4mpire: that's a terrible solution [13:03] V4mpire: partimage is like norton ghost [13:03] ikonia: no it doesnt; although it is "ondemand" it doesnt go up [13:03] ikonia: That's not it yet, I want it not to request sudo or root privileges. smbmount does almost the same as what I want. I want it to do exactly what "Places --> Connect to server..." does, including the part that you don't need to specify a mount point. Is that possible? [13:03] V4mpire: images aren't backups, for linux system you should prefer tools like rsync/tar [13:04] V4mpire: u can just copy your root and tar.gz it make sure to do the same to /boot and other mount points also use the -p switch to preserve permissions this can be done with a live cd === DaZ_ is now known as DaZ [13:04] well i want to do a complete system backup ready to put onto a new hdd [13:04] ikona: the funny thing is: when i run the notebook on battery i works with ondemand [13:04] jrib: any ideas? [13:04] mactimes: no, [13:04] KampfKarotte: that's most off [13:04] KampfKarotte: "odd" [13:05] photon: nope, I don't know enough about how the encryption is setup to help [13:05] ikonia odd? i tried it with powertop [13:05] jrib: thanks though [13:05] ghosting as IT puts it is an ok solution, but backup files is the best way to secure a linux system.. [13:05] V4mpire: I think you want something like PowerQuest Drive Image. [13:05] hi all [13:05] V4mpire: There are many FOSS solutions, I'll see if I can find it here, I'm pretty sure I have that on my bookmarks, hold on. [13:05] photon: try to learn what exactly is responsible for asking for that password. I think there's more than just grub involved === knopp is now known as Betu [13:06] can anyone help me in installing ubuntu on my pc with 3 partitions? one is win xp the second is win7 the third is free [13:06] kk its just so i can backup the entire thing and put on a new/bigger hdd without having to reinstall and lose some settings to prat about redoing them [13:06] ciunix: what's the issue ? [13:07] when I try to install ubuntu the system is blocking. The log says that there is a problem in the resizing [13:07] of partititions [13:07] V4mpire: for linux system you should prefer tools like rsync/tar. faster, no hd-space wasting, more flexible [13:07] ciunix: i think there won't be any issue in installing in the free partition, just select the free partition while installing [13:07] ciunix: you need to have unallocated space to re-size [13:07] there's an unallocated space [13:08] ciunix: if the 3rd partition is 'empty' you can delete it soits unallocated and the installer can partion/use the unallocated space automatically - no need to resize [13:08] llutz, but seems more hassle as means i gotta prat about doing things [13:08] but the boot is stop before all [13:08] ciunix: and you're trying to resize from the livecd ? [13:08] hello everybody, I have some problems with openbox, there's nothing in my menu.xml file, could someone please help me? [13:08] llutz: let it go nortons ghost is a ok solution its a bit outside the box... [13:08] ciunix: (win)(win7)(unallocated) [13:08] yes [13:08] and how do you work out hd space wasting as i want to backup to disk/disks to put back onto new hdd when it arrives [13:09] Hello everyone. Can anyone help me to configure the microphone? The issue is that in Windows it recognizes microphone very good and allows to use Skype, but when I have migrated to Ubuntu I got a problem, that I can't use Skype anymore. [13:09] w9999: not openbox channel [13:09] ciunix: you can make the partition as unallocated using the windows itself then you can just install using the CD [13:09] hope anyone can help [13:09] V4mpire: using tar/rsync i need abt 2GB to backup my /, an image would be 10GB [13:09] thanks ubuntufreak I try [13:09] how do u change background of login screen in karmic??? [13:09] archboxman, doesn't clonezilla fullfill the same task as nortons ghost ? [13:10] llutz, the hdd the data will be coming off isn't 10gb to begin with [13:11] archboxman, or does clonezilla not provide the option to generate a cd/dvd image that is bootable for the purposes of a seelf contained restore solution [13:11] airtonix: where is there a hand book that explains this is a wrong solution,, I can think of probably 2 or 3 more solutions that are out side the box for backup linux [13:11] archboxman, thats not my question... just wondering if clonezilla does eactly the same things as nortons ghost [13:12] V4mpire: i just wanted to show you different ways to do you task. use whatever you like, but don't ask others if you don't like the answers [13:13] ahh i just want to avoid doing an install etc aswell as had enough trouble getting this system to do it so with a full image it will be there ready [13:13] whoootz - iz haz got it installed LOL [13:13] archboxman, i mean because i like how nortons ghost allows you to dump the resulting hdd image dump into an iso that is merged with its bootable image so you can have the hdd image on the same iso as the recovery image. [13:13] airtonix: yes clonezilla is said to do the same as nortons ghost and partition image... never used clonezilla sorry can't give you full specs.. [13:13] V4mpire: http://clonezilla.org/ [13:13] archboxman, ok [13:13] V4mpire: There you go. [13:13] maybe it's time to return to "ubuntu" chat [13:14] where does wget save downloaded files [13:14] Clonezilla is part of a live cd ... its verry verry usefull [13:14] airtonix: problem with Nortons Ghost is it has times when backups are unreilable [13:14] pokoko222: in pwd [13:14] pokoko222, in the same directory you run wget from [13:14] pokoko222, in your working directory [13:14] airtonix: what ghosting a hard drive software is 100% correct [13:14] Hi, i'm using a 7" portable DVD player as secondary screen (tv-out) with my ATi card. I can't move windows between monitors, and I have to restart gdm for about everything. It kinda sukcs pretty hard. How do I fix this (apart from writing new drivers on my own)? [13:15] pokoko222 what airtonix said...... [13:15] is ext4 stable for end user ? [13:15] V4mpire: You can use it in several ways. You can even have a server to hold many different images for different setups. [13:15] anyone know how to change screen saver for UNR [13:15] hmm [13:15] wget downloaded ok and firefox fucks up all my downloads, it gets to 99% and stops [13:15] airtonix: that is why I like zip drives with speed increase to burn a backup of the important information 3 mintues on a burn thats great... [13:15] mactimes, so it will do complete system backups with ALL data and programs i've installed ? [13:16] adifire: check gdm2setup on launchpad.net [13:16] archboxman, you mean iomega zip drives ? [13:16] V4mpire: If you chose so, yes. [13:16] rd1381: - ext4 is the prefered FS for ubuntu 9.10 does that say anything [13:16] airtonix: yes [13:16] V4mpire: Just go to the website and read about it a bit. I found it to be amazing. [13:16] ooooooooooooooooolaa [13:16] V4mpire: If you just want a backup solution, I'd prefer bacula. [13:16] VCoolio: thanks for the tip..! [13:16] ichat : i know that but i heard some bug that corrupted big files(500mb) [13:17] V4mpire: Bacula can make full backups in less time than just imaging your entire hard drive. [13:17] if there are - ive yet to encounter them, [13:17] airtonix: love that iomega zip drive ... hope the company will be around another 10 years [13:17] mactimes, how does it do it in less time when it should do the same amount of data ? [13:17] how can i clean up my grub menu, i have like 10 entrys from updates [13:17] archboxman: 100mb media? what do you backup to? [13:18] needhelp1: Go to synaptic and remove old kernels [13:18] archboxman: im suprised they are still here. [13:18] V4mpire: It would not be the same amount of data if you just want a simple backup [13:18] i can not get rid of a package - python-imaging-tk. It contains an error. How can i force this package to be deleted? [13:18] overmind: last time i did that, my entire pc crashed [13:18] V4mpire: For simple backups you would not copy binaries, etc. [13:18] bacually is also great - the one thing i hate about its its verry steep UI's its not really user / admin friendly [13:18] well not in the point-n-click kinda way [13:18] mactimes, well i want everything on the hdd backed up to put onto new hdd [13:18] Dr_Willis: me and you both .... airtonix dvd or cd [13:18] V4mpire: So, I'd say that clonezilla is what you're looking for. [13:19] *bacula * [13:19] anybody here uses ext4? [13:19] Hi, i'm using a 7" portable DVD player as secondary screen (tv-out) with my ATi card. I can't move windows between monitors, and I have to restart gdm for about everything. It kinda sukcs pretty hard. How do I fix this (apart from writing new drivers on my own)? [13:19] !anybody | rd1381 [13:19] rd1381: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [13:19] V4mpire: btw, although they _might_ look exactly the same thing, I wouldn't call what you're trying to do a good _backup_policy_. [13:19] rd1381: - id do on a 4tb server [13:20] mactimes, how come ? [13:20] also does clonezilla run from disk ? [13:20] ichat: so you dont have any corruption issues on big files? [13:20] nope [13:20] airtonix: seeing is how the iomega drive uses a usb 2.0 interface .... I'm going with an external drive that has 3.0 usb speeds of transfering files... [13:20] V4mpire: Because it takes too much time to complete backups and you won't be able to schedule them in regular periods, you'd have to run them manually, etc., etc. [13:21] archboxman, its very appealing [13:21] Threetimes: enable the xinerama feature or whatever ati calls their version of xinerama and you should be able to set up the 2 displays as one wide desktop. [13:21] i run it on MD0 (raid 5) with LVM enabled - and no glitches [13:21] Hello everyone. Can anyone help me to configure the microphone? The issue is that in Windows it recognizes microphone very good and allows to use Skype, but when I have migrated to Ubuntu I got a problem, that I can't use Skype anymore. [13:21] ahh meaning having to do each disk manually ? [13:21]  newly installed LAMP, any good document suggestion to start over? [13:21] V4mpire: If you're looking for a solution like: "Ok, I've just installed my new system, it's all clean, error-free and I want an image of that in case I have to reinstall", then you're good with clonezilla. [13:21] 3.0 usb is 100 times faster than 2.0 usb [13:21] anyone here use nload.. I need to change the current device its watching anyone know how? [13:21] V4mpire: But.... [13:22] i tried to find the "apps -> gnome-power-manager -> cpufreq -> policy_ac" in the gnome-configurations tool but the didnt show up? [13:22] V4mpire: If you're looking for a solution like "Ok, I want reliable backups, so that I make sure I won't lose any of my documents in case of a hardware disaster.", then you're good with bacula. [13:22] rabbi1: to do what ? === Kalidarn1 is now known as Kalidarn [13:22] V4mpire: You might be looking for BOTH solutions tho. [13:22] no i found in the internet: But by just setting /apps/gnome-power-manager/ui/cpufreq_show, they will beautifully [13:22] appear there without cluttering the interface at all. This BUG report is a request to enable these options by default. [13:23] rabbi1: the ubuntu server guide is quite good for most things [13:23] what i have to do to set them? [13:23] mactimes, well the main things is the favs in ff [13:23] linxeh: should that be in ubuntu site? [13:24] hmm thinking about it i think that might be the only thing i cant just reinstall and readd without loads of hassle [13:24] bacula ==> did i just hit the dell button on this file : Whoops, [13:24] linxeh: i mean its an online documentation? [13:24] V4mpire: Then it is kinda shooting bees with a canon if you're making an hard drive image just cause of FF favorites... [13:24] hi, i have installed the ubuntu 10.4 but i cant find my wireless device on my insipiron 1525 . any help ? [13:24] mactimes, i was thinking theres more things but i cant think of any [13:24] clonezilla ==> ow i never should have tried fideling with my /user/bin [13:24] rabbi1: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/ [13:24] hi, are there any guides for remote desktop/terminal access? [13:25] V4mpire: Well, you just need to focus on what you need. Then you look for a solution. Yet, I think bacula is what you're looking for. [13:25] rabbi1: you can get it as a pdf too - but it depends what you want to do whether that will help [13:25] linxeh: thx dude, [13:25] jeeez: how to ssh is what u want to google for [13:25] jeeez: install openssh-server for remote terminal access [13:25] linxeh: thts nough thx, :-* [13:25] * test * [13:25] Kalidarn, linxeh: thanks! [13:26] mactimes, will that be able to get the ff settings ? [13:26] linxeh: i use AMD64 nVidia inbuilt, i changed my resolution in xorg.conf file. can i still increase the resolution? [13:26] V4mpire: That would be able to backup your entire profile/account if you want [13:26] can someone help me with why qemu uses 100% CPU and still takes 6 hours to install a guest (any, have tried windows xp, ubuntu, fedora, all took > 5h). [13:26] V4mpire: You just tell bacula what you want to be backed up and how often and you're set [13:26] does ff save the settings in those locations ? [13:27] V4mpire: Yup. [13:27] rabbi1: yes; you can reconfigure it after install [13:27] V4mpire: If you're just looking for ff backup, you can have a script to backup your entire ff to a pendrive or something like it. [13:27] Error404NotFound: - why run qemu as an emulator ??/ rather than vbox ? [13:27] Error404NotFound: are you running QEMU using KVM?

[13:28] Chousuke, nope, this cpu doesn't have vmx [13:28] mactimes, if i just done full profile/account that would include everything in home dir correct if so would it be a problem if i decided to install the newest ubuntu in the process ? [13:28] Error404NotFound: right. so it'll emulate everything [13:28] linxeh: i ran xrandr -> "Screen 0: minimum 320 x 175, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1024 x 768", can i increase more resolution than this from my chip?

[13:29] rabbi1: waht chip is it ? [13:29] oh I see [13:29] it should support more yes - what monitor do you have on it ? [13:29] V4mpire: I don't see how that could be a problem. You might just need to adjust restored directories/files permissions tho. [13:29] Chousuke, okay, kicked neighbor out of window by saying use vbox instead :P [13:29] linxeh: AMD64 nVidia builtin [13:29] Error404NotFound: - you should try viritualbox or virtualbox-headless packages IF possible they are way more efficient... in running guest OS's [13:30] hi all, I have been working on a laptop for almost 2days to get the wifi running propperly...

[13:35] V4mpire: you can only run clonezilla from a cdrom OR a netboot (server) [13:35] i saw, that it doesnt get load automatically [13:35] yea was just thinking about maybe when i reinstall sort drivers etc so all ready to run... and do a backup for later usage if need be [13:35] do this package work http://data.fuskbugg.se/skalman01/wmii-hg_hg2550_i386.deb [13:35] V4mpire: If you just want firefox backups, a simple script or simply copy and paste elsewhere will do it. If you want regular backups for files then use bacula. If you want system recovery/crash recovery for entire system, then use clonezilla, it is that simple.

[13:43] mactimes: - i know, probly is im not realy a linux guru - im only firsttime installing a full linux SBS server, - at work i worked with pre-installed clone-zilla and the CDrom based version - i hear backula is hard to propperly setup :S [13:43] Dr_Willis: are u using plymouth? [13:43] fabio123: if thats what it has by default.. ive not noticed. [13:44] ichat: Bacula isn't that hard to install. You certainly just need to read the docs and understand the process. [13:44] I just installed Ubuntu 9.10... But can't get any sound in it... Can anyone help with this? [13:44] Dr_Willis: atm, I'm getting 57 sec from hitting the power button to wifi ready. This is with netbook 9.10 on eeepc (hdd) [13:44] BHoward; problems with wifi, I can connect to my AP secured with WPA and it shows full coverage (5 full blocks).

[13:47] veronique1, just a sec let me look [13:47] Dr_Willis: sorry the boot time has to come down or I will scrap ubuntu with my Arch Linux booting in 15 seconds... its a far greater improvement then it sounds like off the top [13:47] im trying to get linux into my life (profesionally) because im kinda hating the way i have to work with (that other os, these days) [13:47] Dr_Willis: same here. wifi ready as soon as I get to the desktop, and that is 57 sec... that's with 2sec delay of grub [13:47] my O/S=ubuntu hardy linux.

[13:59] I have a question, what is the obsession with the startup time? I understand its convenient. Just seems like there could be a better use of resources. Correct me if im wrong.

And it dissapeared [14:00] llutz, Ok nuff said lol [14:00] elgh: lol [14:01] elgh: so what you think the problem was??? [14:01] BHoward: I guess one of the reason I move from winxp is faster boot time... and faster is better... [14:01] archboxman, I have no idea. Not very good at Ubuntu. :) [14:01] archboxman, But everything works nice now. :) [14:01] circuitman, I sent you a link earlier. If you dont want a ubuntu alternative then try to use Wine or Virtualbox === marienz_ is now known as marienz [14:02] spending weeks in "improving" boot-time to gain a few seconds daily is just stupid (to me) [14:02] elgh: got ride of the problems with using another xorg.conf file... yes [14:02] hylman, true but do you spend the majority of your time on the computer booting it or actually using it? [14:02] archboxman, That aswell. I don't have any problems with Ubuntu now whatsoever. :) [14:02] howdy [14:02] hi all. please help with the nvidia nightmare..

Some of them (like myself) only need their PC for typing and browsing. [14:05] drwurst: have you tried installing from the cd by regulare process i.e. not going inside ubuntu? [14:05] hylman: you can get a netbook with Arch linux down to 3 seconds on boot time [14:06] BHoward:i visited the link,but i want to if those packages have the featues of live writer [14:06] archboxman, Trying to get D2 to work now. [14:06] hylman, thats true. Thats the main reason im still sticking with ubuntu because they are trying hard to at least tailor it toward the less ggeky crowd [14:06] it can only be isntalled from the live cd [14:06] elgh: what is D2?

Is it from power on to desktop ready? [14:06] 9.10 dont have option at the very startup of 'Install to hdd'?? [14:06] if you change your resolution with xrandr does it effect all users? Also if you log out and log back in does it revert to the original resolution?

Never have needed to use any of them. If you would prefer to actually use live writer I would google it and see if it works in wine or possible just run virtualbox [14:08] drwurst: try rebooting your computer and choose not the live CD, but instead the direct installation option [14:08] 9.10 hasn't that option [14:08] so i thingk in 9.10 you should have such options. just check the VERY STARTUP screen it [14:08] BHword:ok,thanks for the hlep [14:08] ok [14:08] archboxman: is that customized archlinux or "off-the-shelf" standard installation [14:08] hi all. please help with the nvidia nightmare..is there any up to date karmic instructions? for installing of the nvidia glx drivers? make[3]: *** No rule to make target `kernel/bounds.c', needed by `kernel/bounds.c [14:08] B3rz3rk3r: i tried it on my 32-bit desktop, worked okay [14:09] ola [14:09] how do I set my box so it uses the latest python version?

I already tried this: http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/Jack_%28plugin%29 that doesn't seem to do anything. [14:30] archboxman: agree.. that's why boot time is crucial [14:30] Hey.

I thik it for user only so that user dont need to remember everything about himself!!!

[14:33] cr- [14:33] cd-r [14:33] drwurst: what's the actual problem you're having ? [14:33] drwurst: ALWAYS use brand new cd for writing any OS [14:33] hylman: just estimate don't need an exact number [14:34] archboxman: I reckon about 40g in linux [14:34] I can't install Ubuntu. When I click on the install button nothing happens [14:34] its a new cd oO [14:34] drwurst: how much ram do you have in your machine ?

[14:35] its a sempron with k8v-xe mb [14:35] drwurst: ok, so that cpu is not exactly super fast, give it a minute or two to respond, when running from a livecd things do respond slow [14:35] hylman: hey your using it like a workhorse it is not designed for that...

[14:36] the machine is old but nothing real old. ubuntu should handle this chipset [14:36] like in this vid [14:37] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYgWE6Svpag [14:37] linxeh: it might work on other OS, not with linux (without ugly hacks) afaik [14:37] drwurst: nothing wrong with the chipset [14:37] drwurst, have you tried a usb install? I have had a few computers where that was the only way to make it work for some weird reason.

You are correct in regards to it being proprietary, unfortunately there is no alternative :( [14:44] !latest | Gnosiz [14:44] Gnosiz: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest.

I'm getting a fair number of hits. [15:59] antoni: but dont you thing its is VERY MUCH EASY to just use ubuntu and install necessary multimedia softwares? Can anyone tell me whats the ACTUAL diffrenc between ubuntu and ubuntustudio? other than it has already installed multimedia softwares?????????? [15:59] can someone help get my computer to read dvd's? [15:59] antoni: right, was wondering if there was some other way. thx [15:59] !dvd | ori_ [15:59] ori_: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [16:00] how to get a faster usb transfer rate any ideas guys ?? [16:00] Hello. I have a problem with my X-server crashing and hanging quite regularly. I would really like to diagnose if this is a driver issue or perhaps a hardware issue. I am running Ubuntu 10.04 upto the latest updates. Please help! [16:00] jrib: that didnt help me i tried it === Guest54477 is now known as Ignatius [16:00] great!!! thanks llutz and airtonix. [16:00] ori_: well that's the way to get DVDs. Did you make sure you followed it correctly? [16:00] ! lucid | ranga [16:00] ranga: 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 [16:00] abhi_nav: as far as i know, there's none. ubuntustudio is a tailored choice of elements, but you can reach exactly the same config by hand-installing (although it's not only about multimedia packages, also about the kernel and layout) [16:00] jrib: pretty sure... [16:01] ori_: now would be a good time to check :) [16:01] is there is such command, tool i could use that will generate nick names ..e.g i give it Jim, boo, mike and the out put will be Jimbo etc [16:01] bobbytek: antoni: for nautilus use gksudo instead of sudo; see !gksudo [16:01] antoni: but what EXACTLY that kernal diffrence is? I can do all the multimedia work here in ubuntu also naa? [16:01] abhi_nav: still, they messed up with that kernel and there is no patch [16:01] antoni: yah [16:02] I did figure what is causing my sound issue, it is changed version of gnmove-volume-control BAH I'd say now [16:02] VCoolio: thanks! [16:02] it's a rt = realtime kernel, which means priority for realtime operations [16:02] question: do i have to keep up to date with the constant release of ubuntu versions? will my computer be secure if i don't? i just don't think my bandwidth can take it much longer [16:02] abhi_nav: afaik rt means less quality, more realtime [16:02] antoni: yah i know [16:03] tallyho: just install a LTS (support 3 years on desktop) [16:03] !dvd =~ s/9.04/9.10/ [16:03] Nothing changed there [16:03] liar [16:03] hello, following problem with ATI Mobility Radeon X300 on ibm t43.

[16:03] how can i get the starting sector of /dev/sda7 in http://pastie.org/835471 [16:03] what are the accepted formats for devede software? It seems that it doesn't recognize .rmvb...

Deleting and creating, yes. Moving, no. Have you considered gparted? [16:11] stdisease, ping ? [16:11] dsnyders, that gparted made my system unbootable , now its hsowin my entire disk as a whole unallocated area [16:11] :( [16:12] obscurant1st, :( indeed! [16:12] philsf, pong [16:12] stdisease, resetting BIOS didn't make the USB work [16:12] dsnyders, :( [16:12] stdisease, no changes AFAICT [16:13] ciao [16:13] idleone: ok, they're all done. i typed in 'sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh'. my cd drive is making all sorts of noise, but nothing is happenning [16:13] what program i need to open .rar file? [16:13] ori_: no output from that command? [16:13] unrar [16:13] is there is such command, tool i could use that will generate nick names ..e.g i give it Jim, boo, mike and the out put will be Jimbo etc [16:14] stdisease, the USB itself is working, since I can boot the nbr image, and use it in windows (in this same netbook) [16:14] idleone: meaning a response from the terminal? yea. [16:14] obscurant1st: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=417761 [16:14] valters: 7zip, unrar, rar [16:14] dacs: good idea [16:14] idleone: but its long [16:14] ori_: ok, well let it finish doing what it is doing [16:14] can someone help me find my lost data [16:15] idleone: ok, ill get back to you when it stops making noise [16:15] please [16:15] !undelete [16:15] Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel [16:15] nightrid3r, thx, but i can still access my data, nothin is lost till now [16:15] obscurant1st, in fdisk, the u command switches units from cylinders to sectors. [16:15] but i have to make my system bootable, and i dont ck uphave anything to take the ba [16:15] obscurant1st, perhaps that's what you're looking for. [16:15] idleone: it stopped making noise [16:16] idleone: :P [16:16] dsnyders, yes, thx that was it. [16:16] philsf, that's as far as I could go really, I have similar errors but they don't prevent me from using my devices [16:16] ori_: ok so now in terminal you should be back at the prompt [16:16] , one more question, does it matter what filesystem i choose for the USB disk partition if i want to create a Live disk of CentOS ? FAT32 has worked so far but can i use EXT2,3, or 4 aswell ? [16:16] hi how can I stop ubuntu from asking me password every time I open empathy or update my computer? [16:16] idleone: yea i am [16:16] ori_: alright pop in a dvd and cross your toes :) [16:16] how do i check what video driver i'm using [16:17] abhi_nav: what do you mean [16:17] <`mOOse`> jordy240: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-disable-password-prompts-in-ubuntu.html [16:18] stdisease, k, thanks anyway [16:18] schnitzel_, if you're installing directly to USB disk, choose ext2 and put options like noatime,nodiratime on your /etc/fstab, to minimize write accesses to your disk and extend its life cycle [16:18] thanks moose! [16:18] How do I make VLC media player play Midi files? I found this page (http://wiki.videolan.org/Midi), but I can't find 'fluidsynth' in VLC's preferences. [16:18] can someone please help me debug a problem in my usb stack? I can't mount or use any USB device. This is what appears in kern.log when I plug a pendrive (that works on other ubuntu boxes) http://pastebin.com/f489fcdd0 . This is a karmic up to date netbook, and it used to work [16:18] how can i open iso files. I used daemon on windows. [16:18] idleone: (sigh) nothing [16:18] ori_: what app are you using to view the dvd? [16:18] stdisease, im not installing to USB, im using the USB as a 'live CD' to install on the hard drive [16:19] idleone: i tried mplayer and vlc [16:19] that is, booting from the USB instead of burning a DVD (because i dont have a empty DVD) [16:19] ori_: let me check something in vlc, I remember I had to change a setting to get dvd to work for me [16:19] idleone: k, thanx [16:19] guys, when i reboot my desktop ubuntu machine it always loads default ugly root appearance theme and icon theme, but if i log out and log in, it loads the one that I have chosen. any ideas ? [16:20] same issue here pelmen [16:20] someone know how to merge two partitions from terminal? [16:20] ori_: open VLC, click on Tools > Preferences then on the left hand side pane click on Video. What is in the Output box? [16:21] schnitzel_: hmm... it used to do it from time to time, sometimes it would load my theme, sometimes ugly, but now always ugly....very tired of loggin out.. [16:21] i dont understand, i downloaded wubi and well its not actually downloading but when its done and im restarting the install comes up the way it should how is this possible? [16:21] idleone: default [16:21] shaullx: why not do an actual install instead [16:21] idleone: ....with a whole bunch of other options [16:21] im trying something i have an actual install on this laptop don't worry [16:22] ori_: change it to X11 video output, click save and try the dvd again [16:22] obscurant1st, The only way I know is to delete both of them and create a new one. [16:22] i'm just trying to understand how is it possible to run ubuntu without downloading the image that is about 700mb(?) [16:22] it finishes in like 10 sec and thats it [16:22] idleone: but i dont think my computer knows theres a dvd in the drive? [16:22] I found what probably causes my fglrx errors: http://pastebin.com/f15433c39 [16:23] do i need xorg if i will use gnome or kde? [16:23] obscurant1st: you can't really merge two partitions [16:23] coolmadmax, yes [16:23] ori_: so when you put a dvd in the drive it does not load automatically? [16:23] idleone: no [16:23] oh, k [16:23] coolmadmax, naturally, gnome and kde run on top of xorg [16:23] idleone: ..it didnt [16:24] shaullx, 700m is the size of a cd. Not all distros are that big. In fact, some can fit on a floppy. [16:24] ori_: thaqt is a whole other issue then and I don't know how to help with that but it is a IMPORTANT piece of info to share with us :) [16:24] obscurant1st: in any OS, what happens is that you delete one, and then resize the other, assuming that the two partitions are physically next to each other on the disk [16:24] idleone: ok... so now what? [16:24] hi, all... anyone can help me with openims...?? thx [16:25] ori_: well rephrase your question and include that the dvd drive is not being recognised [16:25] idleone: srry, i thought it was understood [16:25] ori_: no problem [16:25] idleone: gotcha [16:25] hi, all... anyone can help me with openims...?? thx [16:25] how to give permission that i could use cd rom like user [16:25] I found what probably causes my fglrx errors: http://pastebin.com/f15433c39 How do i fix this? [16:25] idleone: lol, at least we know that when THAT problem is fixed, there wont be any afterwards [16:25] phrix, Nobody can help you unless you ask a question. [16:25] meganerd, here my 2 partitions are not physically next [16:25] ori_: Well we can hope [16:25] hello? [16:25] there is one partition in between [16:26] :D [16:26] :( [16:26] just tried to install ubuntu 9.1... and it keeps bring up "I/O error. Error reading boot cd.

[16:29] i dont want to loose my data [16:29] IdleOne: usually one needs to eject the dvd and insert it again after installing the dvdcss stuff, that's my only guess :) [16:29] obscurant1st: you will lose for sure [16:29] jrib: I assume ori_ did that [16:29] llutz, oh, k. [16:30] jrib: how do i put it ina pastbin?

[16:33] jrib: yeah. put it back in [16:33] jrib: no srry [16:33] jrib: im gonna do that now [16:33] Threetimes, huh, well, try 'sudo dpkg --force-overwrite --configure -a' [16:33] Threetimes, OR..

[16:34] jrib: ok, cds work [16:34] jrib if you have windows installed try downloading wubi u'll see what i mean [16:34] stdisease: The first thing didn't help, i'll move libdri.so [16:34] ori_: try the dvd now [16:34] can someone please help me debug a problem in my usb stack?

"fine" is relative. It works well enough for most people, but read the warnings on wubi's site [16:35] i dont need it to be 100% i just need to run wine on it to test something [16:35] stdisease: It seems to be working :D === nawk is now known as nawk|sleep [16:36] Threetimes, great!

[17:42] Kimo, unfortunately they are pretty hard to get on Linux still :( [17:42] Kimo: kdenlive [17:42] daum_, probably because the mysql user has a shell set to /bin/false or something like that in the /etc/passwd [17:43] OK thanks abhi [17:43] daum_, try -s option [17:43] stdisease, yeah its /bin/false [17:43] k0dak: that's a weird issue. you might try pressing ctrl+alt+F2 after it seems hung to see if you get in a text console.

[17:46] Kimo, that probably won't work as you expect though. you'll only be able to resolve Google-related URLs through google DNS [17:46] its a clever move on google's part to get to the darkweb though :) [17:46] Hubert_Chang, yep just did that [17:46] anyone? Everything related to resolution works really great prior to the upgrade, but now hybernation became virtually useless :( [17:46] Kimo: edit /etc/resolv.conf [17:47] Hubert_Chang, hm just was informed by a friend that ubuntu has 'apparmor'?

I have been using it since the announcement. I like it. [17:48] Kimo: to use own dns, add them to /etc/resolv.conf [17:49] i saw that [17:49] thanks [17:49] Who from in Poland [17:49] gsgleason, Will give it a try.

[18:24] i was in windows, then i wanted to boot in ubuntu and when i restarted pc i see grub loading then when shoud appear menu where can i choose os i see black screen and then system restarts, what could be wrong? [18:25] ajs86, first of all, you don't really need a AV in Ubuntu [18:25] Hey can anyone help me with this error? http://paste.ubuntu.com/381079/ I did what it said and it still comes up. [18:25] and 2nd, you are trying to run a windows app in linux. It's like trying to play a PS3 game on a xbox [18:25] how do i ping6 a host by it's zeroconf host name? i tried: ping6 elrey.local but it said "connect: Invalid argument", i assume this is because it resolved its link-local address and did not know which interface to send out the ICMPv6 on === trineox is now known as trineox_ [18:26] can some1 help me? Do i need to reinstall grub? [18:26] I was trying to download ClamWin for my antivirus program. I currently don't have one yet, as I just started using Linux yesterday. I'm just so new to this, and unsure of a lot of things, still trying to get the feel of everything. But, I also wanted to download other stuff back I used on Windows, like CCleaner and such... [18:26] Ganymede: ping6 requires -I option to specify source interface [18:27] No matter what I try to download, it doesn't work. I get the error no matter what I try to do [18:27] ajs86: you don't need antivirus [18:27] How do i run the system monitor from terminal? I want the graphic interface. [18:27] ajs86, of course, because you are trying to use software for orther plataform [18:27] new OS, new apps [18:27] ajs86: besides, clamWIN is for WINDOWS not linux === trineox_ is now known as trineox [18:27] gsgleason, but when avahi-resolve returns the link local address, couldn't it return it with a %eth0 appended at the end so it knows which interface it was resolved on?

When I try to add it using "Set up new device" it fails simply saying "Setting up 'Dell BT Travel Mouse' failed"... [18:27] ajs86: you don't need clamwin, clamav is in the repos, but it really only scans for windows viruses so it is more for an email server than for desktop users [18:28] ajs86, you can install almost any ubuntu app in Applications -> softwrae center [18:28] whats the command to see how much harddrive space you have? [18:28] Ganymede: I think the % thing is specific to windows. [18:28] if you install this way also it gets auto-updated with the system updates [18:28] I'm here using irssi. I like it. [18:28] gsgleason, for instance, i can pin6 fe80::216:cbff:feb8:547%eth0, so why doesn't avahi-resolve just return fe80::216:cbff:feb8:547%eth0 [18:28] noone knows the problem? [18:28] seanbrystone: I guess 'df' is the command you need. [18:28] How do i run the system monitor from terminal? I want the graphic interface. [18:29] Help! this is serious: anytime after I ssh into something, my ubuntu is 100% stuck. That is, I can't do anything -- not alt-tab, not ctrl-c, not ctrl-\, nothing... All I can do is alt-ctrl-F2 (for example) to run irssi and talk to you. [18:29] phox_, 1) tab completion on the terminal is awesome handy thing 2) most gnome apps start with "gnome-" 3) its gnome-system-monitor [18:29] ok sundar ty :D [18:29] gsgleason, ping6 and avahi, by themselves, have all the information needed to allow the ping to go through, i shouldn't need to tell it to go through eth0 [18:29] gsgleason, you can see why this might become tedious for a computer with 8 or more network interfaces [18:29] !find clam [18:29] Found: clamassassin, clamav-data, clamav-getfiles, clamav-unofficial-sigs, clamfs (and 17 others) [18:29] airtonix: 1) what do you mean? 2) thx!

[18:30] hey everyone - this is so weird i don't even know where to start looking to fix it but it must be simple.. trying to run a particular program but when i run it i get 'no such file or directory' even though i can clearly see it in the filemanager, terminal, etc.. have checked permissions.. any ideas at all anyone?! [18:30] Ganymede: yes I see that. I've never dealt with avahi, sorry [18:30] do i need to reinstall grub? [18:31] what's weirder is it was working thismorning until i reinstalled.. [18:31] gsgleason, okay, thanks [18:31] lordblaa: reinstalled what? [18:31] lordblaa: what program and how are you doing it? [18:31] lordblaa: its not in your $PATH [18:31] ajs86, "survive" in Ubuntu is very easy. Just don't think Windows [18:31] Suggestion for a good music player with lyrics feature. I have rythmbox but I think it sucks in interface. I run enlightenment as WM and want something light on it. I currently use mplayer but cannot find lyrics for that.

I'm just not savvy at all with computer stuff in general. I have friends who can help, me, just not right now. They're very savvy with this stuff and just graduated college for it.

So large, that doing "cat *.txt" results in an error. Now I want to do this using find and xargs, but I'm not sure how.. [18:32] (it's a linux binary) [18:32] They recommended I come here for now, until they can get to me. [18:32] Oh! wierd enough, I *can* press enter and get one line down! but nothing else happens... [18:32] ajs86, well, what do you want to do? [18:32] lordblaa: sh df [18:32] lordblaa, has it been set to executable yet ? [18:33] just forget about the programs you use in Windows [18:33] airtonix: yes [18:33] lordblaa: do it and put it in pastebin [18:33] Well, I know Ubuntu doesn't totally need an antivirus, I guess? But, I'd still like to have one, and I wanna get other things back as well, like my CCleaner. [18:33] A program to DL music. [18:33] ccleaner ? [18:33] ajs86: are you trolling? [18:33] ccleaner won't work on ubuntu, ajs86 [18:33] for example, if you want to.. play music, you can use Rythmbox in applications -> sound and video [18:33] was my question ot?

[18:34] Suggestion for a good music player with lyrics feature. I have rythmbox but I think it sucks in interface. I run enlightenment as WM and want something light on it. I currently use mplayer but cannot find lyrics for that. [18:34] madjoe: the same way you update every other program [18:34] ajs86, linux av programs only detect windows viruses [18:34] ajs86: you need to change your mindset. you don't need a specific app. you need any app to accomplish a task. you need to get used to the linux apps. [18:34] madjoe: which applet and do you know if there is a new version available ? [18:34] ikonia, maybe ajs86 wants it to be more like windows o.O [18:34] ajs86: you mean like download music from itunes, amazon etc ? [18:34] k4rt33k: mpd, ncmpcpp [18:34] there arent autoreplicating viruses in linux [18:34] douwe: find . -name '*.txt' | xargs cat [18:34] really weird, right?! [18:34] ajs86: if you care about security, don't run/install stuff you don't need. that will decrease your security [18:35] blakkheim: I'm new with Linux.. started 2 days ago, but have some previous knowledge... I didn't upgrade any Linux app so far [18:35] ajs86: more code == more issues [18:35] * kostkon is listening on Spotify: Only Time - Original Version by Enya from [] { 0, } [18:35] * kostkon is listening on Spotify: Only Time - Original Version by Enya from [] { 0, } [18:35] * kostkon is listening on Spotify: Only Time - Original Version by Enya from [] { 0, } [18:35] ajs86: the unprivlidged methodology in linux is far more secure. [18:35] kostkon: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:35] the only way you can get "infected" is double-clicking a program that says "gimme your password please" [18:35] downloaded from scratch, copied across my old version working on this computer on an earlier install, all the same result [18:35] madjoe: sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude full-upgrade [18:35] ikonia: indicator-applet from 0.2.0 to 0.2.1 [18:35] ajs86: what llutz said, don't install stuff you don't need [18:35] madjoe: is that version available in the ubuntu repos ? [18:35] ikonia: no [18:35] ajs86: http://www.linux.com/news/software/applications/8261-note-to-new-linux-users-no-antivirus-needed [18:35] !info indicator-applet [18:35] indicator-applet (source: indicator-applet): GNOME panel indicator applet.

"ssh" is not working well here. It gets my computer all stuck... [18:36] no ideas anyone? [18:36] blakkheim: it's not available in the ubuntu repos [18:36] peleg_: be more specific. [18:36] madjoe: then you have to compile it [18:36] peleg_: do you have an open port on your ssh server? [18:36] madjoe: ok - so you'd have to build it yourself from scratch, which I'd advise against as it will break compatibility with ubuntu packages in future [18:36] Windows Vista earns me every time because my Bluetooth mouse works there! Ubuntu just says adding the device failed... Too bad because I really want to try ubuntu more... [18:36] peleg_: are you specifying the right port? [18:36] Ok, well thanks for all your help. I'm just so used to Windows and still thinking Windows. I need to feel out Linux more and just get more used to it. But, I do need a program for DLing music though. I don't know all the apps yet that Linux offers, and what music programs work on Linux and such [18:36] sorry, I was more specific up there, I'll state it again [18:36] loadblaa, maybe it is run with wine. [18:36] ajs86: downloading music from where? [18:37] ajs86: downloading from where ? itunes ? [18:37] sorry gsgleason forgot to say your name when i pasted the results did you notice them [18:37] ikonia: I assumed that, that's why I came here... so should I change anything in .sh files for manual installation? [18:37] I am doing something simple, that I was always doing: ssh user@server.org [18:37] then I am waiting for password prompt === JimmyJ|zz is now known as JimmyJ [18:37] ajs86: it's the same story using windows, no difference [18:37] peleg_: okay, is the server running? [18:37] madjoe: .sh files are shell files - they are nothing to do with it [18:37] Hubert_Chang: nah, it's not i've been running it for a while, its just misnamed [18:37] peleg_: use ssh -v for more debugging [18:37] but instead of "password:", nothing happens, and the computer is completely stuck -- I can't even alt-tab [18:37] peleg, add -vv after ssh and put in pastebin [18:37] ajs86 check nicotine+ if I caught your drift [18:37] madjoe: I'd stronly advise against building it yourself, more so if you don't know what you're doing. Is there a specific reason you want to update the version ? [18:37] Hubert_Chang: ... although i will install wine now that you say that just to be safe.. lol [18:37] I had iTunes, and I recently had a birthday, someone got me iTunes gift cards, so I wanted to use them up. [18:37] i have a PDF that has dark background and light text. Is there any way that I can make it so when the file is printed it inverts and makes the text black and the bacground white? [18:38] #ubuntu-it [18:38] Trek, yes, it is. I have tried more than one server. [18:38] ajs86: ok - to use itunes you have to run it in wine as there is no native itunes client for linux [18:38] blakkheim, moment. [18:38] !itunes | ajs86 [18:38] ajs86: itunes is not available on Linux, but there are many audio player alternatives (see !players). For Daap clients (sharing music with other iTunes clients on the network), install banshee [18:38] ajs86: that sucks. an itunes gift card is a bad present for a linux user. [18:38] but why would it say 'file not found'?! [18:38] peleg_: run ssh -v user@server.org (replace with actual server data), post into pastebin [18:38] anyone here play heroes of newerth? [18:38] lordblaa: if you're typing ./blah that means it's in your current directory [18:38] Well, I just started Linux yesterday, forgetting about the iTunes stuff, as I didn't use it much. [18:38] endeavormac: why - do you have a support question [18:39] ikonia: nope [18:39] lol [18:39] endeavormac: ok - then please don't ask as this is ubuntu support discussion [18:39] ajs86, There is a "magic" program that allow you to use mot Windows apps [18:39] !ot | endeavormac [18:39] endeavormac: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[18:39] lordblaa: i missed what you had said. [18:40] how can I see entries from a certain nick in irssi? [18:40] madjoe: if you know the bug and you know it's fixed, log the bug on launchpad.net and get the ubuntu repos updated [18:40] Hi.. can anyone please help me with setting up my bluetooth mouse? [18:40] Trek, I can't really paste, since it gets me computer stuck... but the last line was SSH2_MESSAGE_SERVICE_ACCEPT received ... [18:40] damn, Hubert_Chang you're my hero that was spot on, installed wine and it was fine [18:40] peleg_: you should be able to do ctrl+c to kill it [18:40] I'm wondering about anacron. I've created a script for backups using rsync, and it works when I execute it at the command line using sudo, it works fine. So, I copied the script to /etc/cron.weekly. It doesn't seem to have executed, however. [18:40] Ok, thanks, everyone. [18:40] i definitely feel stupid now.. lol could have sworn it was native [18:40] It looks like the password prompt activates something that annoys the computer. [18:40] gsgleason, can't... [18:40] ajs86, The beta release has more compatitbility with more apps, but it is a bit less stable [18:41] ok [18:41] lordblaa, have fun. [18:41] is it possible to be taken over on irc when running as root? [18:41] in fact i -know- it's native.. don't understand that at all.. but thanks :D [18:41] gsgleason, can't even alt-tab, ctrl-D, ctrl-Z or ctrl- === root is now known as Guest60078 [18:41] root: possibly [18:41] hi all, I want to check if mysql is accessible.. any clue??

[18:41] peleg_: what are you trying to ssh to/ [18:41] Hubert_Chang: no fun.. just a calming of my jittering withdrawal symptoms ;) [18:41] ? [18:42] gsgleason, my server or my university (tried both) [18:42] has anyone got experience with the computer janitor? [18:42] hi, how do I automate the downloads of a podcast that updates really fast? (Like two podcasts every 5 minutes)? [18:42] peleg_ try this: ssh -v 128.237.226.7 [18:42] I think the only way I can "release" it is press 100s of times i'm really new to irc, can anyone tell me how to get to the off topic channel? [18:42] cruncher: /join #ubuntu-offtopic [18:42] Trek, sure [18:42] phrix, what do you mean by "accessible"? [18:42] Rhythmbox only does it one time per hour and only downloads the last of the podcast [18:43] peleg_ are you using pub keys? [18:43] ikonia, accessible by root I meant... [18:43] hello all === trineox is now known as trineox- [18:43] ? [18:43] phrix: as the root unix user, or the root mysql user ? [18:43] trece8: use an rss aggregator that updates every min or so [18:43] When does anacron execute a script that can't be executed at the "official" time? [18:44] gsgleason, with my server I am [18:44] FoolishOwl: the next time that time comes around [18:44] fccf, for example, which? But mind you that I want to download all the new podcasts, not just the last === Mowee is now known as Mowee`Bnc [18:44] I eventually got the Laptop to connect to the Internet with a cellphone via a bluetooth dongle. Took me forever but okay it worked. But only with my wife's Samsung D600. When I use my cellphone Samsung SGF-J750 it refuses to stay connected. I change the MAC address and the channel number and then do a sudo rfcomm release MACADDRESSHERE and then a sudo rfcomm bind rfcomm0 MACADDRESS CHANNELNUMBER and it does not work. Any ideas f [18:44] rom someone who has done this and also burnt their fingers? [18:44] Any idea how to get PDF files not to look like crap? [18:44] peleg, peleg_, did it return "connection refused"? [18:44] ikonia, FoolishOwl, accessible as root unix user... [18:44] phrix: the unix user doesn't matter [18:44] zeleftikam: Spectacles? :) [18:44] !anyone | hannes815 [18:44] hannes815: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [18:44] phrix: mysql has it's own internal user/pasword authentication system [18:44] ikonia, I thought the point was that if it couldn't be executed at the official time, it would be executed at the first opportunity. [18:44] I have a Dell i5 1764 with an Inter accelerator HD integrated graphic card. everytime I load ubuntu the screen is black no video. how can I solve this problem? [18:44] FoolishOwl: I don't believe so [18:44] trece8: give me a min ... searching through what I have [18:44] Trek, no, it just waited... I'll try again. it didn't get stuck this time. [18:44] peleg_: mv ~/.ssh ~/.ssh.bak [18:45] then try again. [18:45] FoolishOwl: could be wrong though [18:45] peleg_ okay, it should have done that, i dont have my server configured on port 22 [18:45] ikonia, but when I type mysql, it says ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' [18:45] peleg_ that was a test, it reached my end [18:45] phrix, when you install mysqld, it should ask to set up an account that is root for mysqld. [18:45] peleg_ lets try one more thing, hold on a sec [18:45] phrix: that's the mysql user "root" [18:45] airtonix: well i kinda wanna try out the computer janitor, but since i finally got my system up and running, i don't wanna mess around to much, so i wanted to know, whether anyone tried it out and could give me feedback ;) [18:45] fccf, this is the podcast feed : http://fawm.org/songs/feed/ [18:45] phrix: mysql -u root -p [18:46] you see, it's updated really quickly [18:46] Trek, ok. gsgleason: I'll finish with Trek and I'll try what you've just adviced. thanks [18:46] When I open scanned books on PDF that look perfect in Mac OS X, they are extremely grainy and unreadable under Ubuntu using the document viewer :( [18:46] peleg_ i got to configure one thing, give me a few seconds [18:46] how do I find out my ALSA DSP device name (e.g. hwplug:0,0)? === andy_ is now known as boss_mc [18:47] FoolishOwl, ikonia, gsgleason, thx for help, now I know better... ^^ [18:47] Huh. Just got system mail about anacron and /etc/cron.daily [18:47] I have a Dell i5 1764 with an Inter accelerator HD integrated graphic card. everytime I load ubuntu the screen is black no video. how can I solve this problem? [18:47] after pressing many enters, and trying some alt-tabs in the meanwhile, sometimes I get a window (gui) that asks for a password... interesting. it makes me think that this is what get it stuck. [18:47] can anyone help me here? [18:47] fccf, I think Gpodder does that, let me check how it works :) [18:47] phrix: no problem, also be aware of #mysql channel [18:47] phrix, there's a #mysql channel. [18:47] hi there, I'm experiencing an unresponsive firefox when I open a tab, when I switch back to firefox and so on. I run a dual-code CPU which isn't occupied much, so I guess it may be a wrong setting in firefox [18:47] oh yeah.. I'm going there... [18:47] phrix, also, you may wish to look into MySQL Workbench. [18:48] even when I open a new tab, I have to wait for a sec or so [18:48] peleg_ i'm going to send you information via PM for you to try connecting to a server, its my server so just connect and exit [18:48] FoolishOwl, what's it?? [18:48] /quit [18:48] mtslash, check if your hostname in /etc/hostame matches with the one in /etc/hosts [18:49] phrix, it's a GUI application for MySQL, sort of like an IDE. It's not in the Ubuntu repositories, and you'd want to go through the tutorials. It's easier than the mysql client in some ways, harder in others. [18:49] oh, and if I get this window, and put the password in it, I am logged!! So all that is left is to figure out what this window is, and why does it pop and stucks my computer, instead of that "password:" line..? [18:50] peleg_ did you get my PM? [18:50] peleg_: are you launching via a terminal? [18:50] Nitsuga, i have two hostnames in the file hostname [18:50] Trek, yes [18:50] localhost and a custom name [18:50] gsgleason, sure [18:50] FoolishOwl, oh, I got it, thank you... [18:50] mtslash, that's bad [18:50] peleg_ did it connect? [18:50] After removing two packages (timidity and phonon) to try and fix some audio problems, I can't reboot into ubuntu 9.10. When using a rescue cd, I can see a lot of gibberish in the syslog, like many repeated "^@" [18:51] mtslash, in /etc/hostname you should have just the custon name [18:51] any suggestions? [18:51] custom [18:51] Trek, no, just waiting. [18:51] peleg_ interesting, because i gave you the correct port too [18:51] withOUT a newline at the end [18:51] phrix, anyway, I'm guessing you're just starting out with MySQL, which would mean you're in the position I was about a month ago, so, Workbench is something to learn while you're learning about MySQL in general. [18:51] holo holo [18:51] I misread it, Nitsuga. there's only the custom name. [18:52] mtslash, in /etc/hosts you shoul have a linke like 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain yourcustomname [18:52] alguien habla español? xD [18:52] !es [18:52] En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

I just want to tell dpkg and apt to stop complaining about it [18:52] peleg_ try once more [18:52] how to compress pdf files in ubuntu?

Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [18:59] peleg_ my system detects you getting to the server [18:59] peleg_ so the issue is that my server was denying you (i made it do that, hence why it made you wait) [18:59] gsgleason, any idea what can pop-up that window, and why does it not pop-up when I move .ssh as you suggested? [19:00] peleg: it depends on what's in the .ssh dir. [19:02] gsgleason, hey, I have removed one unknown file, and it looks like it works now! :) [19:02] which file? [19:02] gsgleason, kind of a backup I have made to an old public_key, two years ago, I think... [19:03] anyone have any feedback regarding why the 'computer' file system gives incorrect info? ubuntu 9.10 [19:03] peleg: glad you found it. [19:03] gsgleason, that's weird; now it does not even asks for a password when I ssh; it looks like it remembers it somehow..? [19:04] peleg, that's what you're public keys are probably doing for you. [19:04] Any idea on whether an upgrade from 9.10 Server to 10.4 Server will be as easy as simply starting the upgrade through a content manager or will the change from aptitude to Ubuntu Software Center mean a clean install is recommended? [19:04] peleg: ssh -v will sho wyou [19:05] bobly: I have never had a successful ubuntu dist upgrade [19:05] neither did i. [19:05] gsgleason, that's nice, but it wasn't like that in the last 2.5 years :) -- well, this is probably the relevant verbose line: "debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey" [19:05] peleg, here is wha [19:06] oops [19:06] gsgleason, That answers my question, clean install it is :D [19:06] peleg: here is what i get when i do it to my server. === ubuntu is now known as darkham [19:06] debug1: Offering public key: /home/gsg/.ssh/id_rsa [19:06] debug1: Server accepts key: pkalg ssh-rsa blen 277 [19:06] debug1: Authentication succeeded (publickey). [19:06] gsgleason, exectly. [19:07] that means you have public key authentication set up. [19:07] hence no password needed. [19:07] nice. probably it is like that now because of my (cursed) upgrade to 8.04 :) [19:08] slt [19:08] okay, I'm out. goodbye.

You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [19:33] lekefly, if you're playing HD content yes, that's normal [19:33] and why do you need to do that, brando753? [19:33] brando753, find a linux version of what you want and compile that. [19:33] Nitsuga: nope its 480p :P [19:33] because im trying to compile an open source program for linux [19:33] but it was written of windows [19:33] for [19:33] Nitsuga: hmm.. something must be wrong.. i think my GPU should manage 1080p.. [19:33] lekefly, do you have a Pentium II mmx? [19:34] brando753: what is the application [19:34] brando753: what program? [19:34] :P [19:34] brando753: you tried running the program under Wine? [19:34] brando753, It can't be written for both. [19:34] doesnt work in wine [19:34] Nitsuga: PowerColor Radeon HD 4350 512MB DDR2 [19:34] Nitsuga: Intel Pentium Dual Core E5300 [19:34] Dual Core, 2.60Ghz, Socket 775, 2MB, 65W, 800Mhz, [19:34] lekefly, there is no H.264 acceeration for linux in ATI cards [19:34] brando753: then yuo need to find a linux version [19:34] lekefly: don't buy from ati - enemy of your freedom [19:35] there is none there is source code for windows though ... [19:35] brando753: tell us what the program is [19:35] Nitsuga: allright.. getting a new card then :p [19:35] brando753: I used the devede, but it seems that it didn't make an .iso... it made a directory with .VOB, .BUP and .IFO files... where are the .ISO file? [19:35] Nitsuga: Thanks:) [19:35] lekefly, there IS for nVidia cards [19:35] i know its not likely but is there a way to use my kubuntu 6.06 disk to boot a flashdrive with an updated ubuntu [19:35] with an nVidia you can even upscale vdeos, use motion-compensation deinterlacina and noise reduction accelerated [19:36] brando753, dont tell them the app name, they'll just tell you to use gimp instead muwahaha [19:36] When I use X11 forwarding via SSH and run gedit for example, is it running the copy of gedit on my local machine or the remote one? [19:36] firefly2442, the remote one [19:36] Hi everyone [19:36] airtonix: try to be helpful here [19:36] i would like to reinstall ubunt ubut i am unsure about which partiton to re write [19:36] what app is everyone using for "vmware" I need to put a 32bit xp virtual pc on my linux box. [19:36] firefly2442: remote [19:36] Asknothing, www.pendrive.com has a bunch of flash drive distros [19:36] raul_: here is what you do, Hit advanced options when making a DVD [19:36] Asknothing: 6.06 is way out of support, or End of Life... you will need to download a new copy of ubuntu because 6.06 will not update without modifying the whole package [19:36] raul_: then select create an iso [19:36] nate_, virtualbox :) [19:37] cool thanks [19:37] Is it possible to have SSH use my local copy of gedit but to cache the remote file locally for editing and only upload it when I save? [19:37] how can i re install ubuntu? [19:37] blakkheim, yes but you have to admit 80% of the people here think help means avoiding the base request and sluicing the user off to some other program [19:37] fccf, whats the recommended way of installing netbeans in ubuntu ? [19:37] firefly2442: why not just use the local copy and then scp it? === linucks[afk] is now known as linucks [19:38] fccf thats the problem i'm at my friend's place and they only have an old copy i tossed them and their system doesn't have usb booting so i was just hoping i could use this disk like that universal bootwizard cd [19:38] im actually tring to get some game structures and some games that are being worked on over to linux as well === NGurty is now known as Gurty [19:38] firefly2442, , you could use scp and copy the file back and forth [19:38] devendra: sudo apt-get install netbeans [19:38] I have a Logitech webcam on ubuntu 9.10, when I run luvcview this is what appears: http://www.pastebin.com/d41524c88 [19:38] blakkheim, dsnyders: ok thanks, I'll give that a try [19:38] firefly2442 or you use sshfs [19:38] brando753, for something useful, I would suggest that you investigate trying to get the program to use linux versions of the libraries the source code referrs to... it wont be easy and it will consume many of your hours [19:38] sshfs ftw [19:39] how do i reinstall ubuntu? [19:39] I eventually got the Laptop to connect to the Internet with a cellphone via a bluetooth dongle. Took me forever but okay it worked. But only with my wife's Samsung D600. When I use my cellphone Samsung SGF-J750 it refuses to stay connected. I change the MAC address and the channel number and then do a sudo rfcomm release MACADDRESSHERE and then a sudo rfcomm bind rfcomm0 MACADDRESS CHANNELNUMBER and it does not work. Any ideas f [19:39] rom someone who has done this and also burnt their fingers? [19:39] Asknothing: ubuntu isn't a universal bootwizard - although that would be cool [19:39] !install > ysmn2 [19:39] ysmn2, please see my private message [19:39] oh yeah, I forgot about sshfs [19:39] fccf: true. :P [19:40] ... i was hoping there would be an easier way, o well i guess its time to dramatically change the code ... [19:40] Hi [19:40] brando753, it's also fairly certain that you've already investigated possible linux applications to use instead... possibly your answer is best asked in a more linux programmer orientated channel [19:40] ysmn2: you need a live image (either a USB or CD) and reinstall through that, unless you're using a Wubi install [19:41] got a problem here with dell inspiron 1525 wireless settings (running 9.10). ifconfig: eth0,lo and lshw -C network don't see any "CLAIMED, UNCLAIMED, ENABLED or DISABLED" [19:41] the light seems to be off for the card [19:41] so does anyone know how to configure rsyslog for remote reception? [19:43] /etc/network/interfaces: auto eth0\n iface lo inet dhcp\n auto eth1\n iface eth1 inet dhcp [19:43] hi all === Mowee`Bnc is now known as Mowee [19:44] /etc/network/interfaces: wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf [19:44] pls help [19:44] someone can tell me another program instead Gedit for open .run file? [19:44] I have a Logitech webcam on ubuntu 9.10, when I run luvcview this is what appears: http://www.pastebin.com/d41524c88 [19:44] Huckfh, a .run file is a binary, correct? [19:45] i think im not sure, the thing is this : ive downloaded team speak 3 for amd64 but there is only version with .run file and gedit cant open [19:45] i received an error if i try to open with gedit [19:45] Trek, not always. [19:45] airtonix: if it gives an error then its supposed to run as executable [19:46] Huckfh: sh filename.run [19:46] Trek, how can you make that assumption based on such a vague test? [19:46] well , what i must do it? [19:46] ok i try blakkheim [19:46] Trek, (maybe its not even an executable) [19:48] and after blakk? [19:48] now start the installation [19:48] but dont start the loading [19:49] How do I configure advanced desktop effects in Karmic? [19:49] SealedWithKiss: sudo aptitude compizconfig-settings-manager; ccsm [19:49] SealedWithKiss: sudo aptitude install compizconfig-settings-manager; ccsm [19:49] hi [19:50] i just installed ubuntu on my sata drive, and rebooted... but in my bios there is not sata drive being detected, so i can't boot from the drive .. what is wrong? [19:51] how would i make a boot cd for ubuntu? I dual boot, installed winxp, then ubuntu. I just recently got win7 and I got a sneaky suspision grubs going to dissapear if I install win7, and i haven't found a way to use the install cd to boot my system. [19:51] is the human-lucid theme that Im seeing on gnome-look the human theme that lucid will receive by default? [19:51] Does anybody have any guidance for creating a kick-ass desktop appearance? [19:51] ka0tic, you'll need to play with your BIOS setup, there should be an option to select the drive to boot from. === krzysztof is now known as Alien06 [19:51] ka0tic: Check boot order in the bios [19:52] Talon_: Your install CD *is* a boot CD [19:52] Talon_, download a livecd image, check the md5sum and then burn it. There are many available. [19:52] but in the bios main screen, for SATA 1-4 show [not detected] [19:52] Where can I view information about my hardware in Karmic? [19:53] I'm a noob and I'm having trouble installin vnc Server 4.5 x64 [19:53] how do you boot an installed linux off the live cd then? I've tried before, couldn't figure it out [19:53] Unpacking vnc-e (from vnc-e_4.5_amd64.deb) ... [19:53] dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of vnc-e: [19:53] vnc-e depends on libstdc++5 (>= 1:3.3.4-1); however: [19:53] Package libstdc++5 is not installed. [19:53] dpkg: error processing vnc-e (--install): [19:53] jonathan_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:53] dependency problems - leaving unconfigured [19:53] ka0tic, you might try upgrading your BIOS, flash to the latest available from the motherboard manufacturer [19:53] Talon_: One of the options from the first menu is to boot off the first hard drive [19:53] sorry [19:53] yeah, it always booted windows, never linux. [19:53] loops, but the ubuntu install CD installed ubuntu on it from the same computer ;p [19:54] jonathan_, you need to use pastebin ;o) [19:54] Talon_, You don't. You either boot the cd or you boot the one on the hard drive. [19:54] ka0tic, yes, but Linux doesn't use the BIOS for accessing hard drive. [19:54] ka0tic, linux has its own drivers and completely ignores BIOS on this matter [19:54] i can't find vnc-e depends on libstdc++5 (>= 1:3.3.4-1) [19:54] ka0tic, but that doesn't help you boot, you need your BIOS to see the drive to boot from it [19:55] Hi, trying to compile darkice, but it is not finding the alsa libraries, where would they be located so I can point the configure script there? I'm on 8.04 [19:55] ka0tic, so you might need to flash to the latest BIOS available for your motherboard.. its' worth a shot anyway [19:55] loops, but i upgraded the bios already, this is a newer motherboard ASUS M3A32-MVP Deluxe [19:55] ka0tic, okay. [19:55] I am having trouble getting advanced desktop effects such as desktop cube working. I have an AMD graphics card, but don't know whether it's actually being used, and with the correct drivers. Can anybody help? [19:56] ka0tic: There are two issues: where the boot manager is, and where the root of the OS you're trying to boot is. The BIOS is needed for the first but not the second === wolf is now known as Guest3408 [19:56] ok [19:56] ka0tic, absolute worst-case, you could create a USB pen drive that boots into Grub, and lets you boot your SATA partition. [19:56] SealedWithKiss: System -> Administration -> Hardware drivers [19:57] loops, yeah i was thinking about that too [19:57] ka0tic, but with a newish motherboard, you just shouldn't need to do that :o/ === jeanne is now known as Guest55658 [19:57] ka0tic, Just a thought... is the drive properly plugged in? [19:58] dj_segfault, it's activated but not currently in use. Also isn't that the standard general driver for ADM cards? I downloaded and installed a driver specific to the model of my card. [19:58] I'm trying to installing vnc 4.5 x64 and I get his error: vnc-e depends on libstdc++5 (>= 1:3.3.4-1) ... I have libstdc++6 installed and can't find livstdc++5 :( [19:58] dsnyders, it should be ;p .. i'll check though [19:59] SealedWithKiss: If you can use the proprietary driver but you aren't, that page should tell you. [19:59] hello, i've a weird case of 2 out of 3 of my equally aged usb thumbdrives failing to show up as read-write filesystems, even though output of mount command says they are mounted as vfat and with rw. ubuntu jaunty on dell inspiron 1501. [20:00] dj_segfault, so how do I ensure that the system uses that driver? Right now it's not in use. [20:00] oh my god, i'm so stupid [20:01] i had it in the wrong sata port ;p [20:01] ka0tic, I WIN!!! :-) [20:02] hey there ... i have a problem with my ubuntu .. the osd is somehow crashed .. after fresh install it worked but when i attached my laptop to a projector the osd crashed -- but take a look: http://www.imagehosteronline.com/share-6D8B_4B8190BC.html [20:02] SealedWithKiss: There should be a button. You'll have to tell us what's on that screen to help you more [20:02] i googled a lot but couldnt really find a solution .. help would be very kind :) [20:03] hi. i ran BleachBit and it did some "APT" autoremove and autoclean thing. it removed like 100 mb of stuff. did i mess anything up? [20:03] dj_segfault, there is only an option to remove. [20:04] SealedWithKiss: What does it say near the top of the screen? Can you snapshot the dialog box? [20:04] howdy all [20:05] anyone know a way to make really good, high quality pdf's out from a scanner in ubuntu? [20:05] i guess basicaly a really good scan utility would do the trick [20:05] hi. i ran BleachBit and it did some "APT" autoremove and autoclean thing. it removed like 100 mb of stuff. did i mess anything up? [20:05] dj_segfault, ATI/AMD Proprietary FGLRX Driver [20:06] SealedWithKiss: Then what makes you think it's not being used? [20:06] dj_segfault, are you looking for something specific? [20:06] i have Ubuntu up and running on my Gateway core i3 laptop form Best Buy, but i have to connect a moniter to the laptop to see my screen. is there any way i can configure Ubuntu to use my laptop screen? [20:06] dj_segfault, it says so. "The driver is activated but not currently in use". [20:06] EWR: Nothing happens with autoremove or autoclean. Maximum your local copies of packages might be lost [20:07] you can always download them [20:07] ok cool [20:07] thanks [20:07] anyone got an idea about this: http://www.imagehosteronline.com/share-6D8B_4B8190BC.html [20:07] SealedWithKiss: Did you reboot since activating it, or restart X? [20:07] night [20:07] I am trying to compile darkice, but it is not finding the alsa libraries, where would they be located so I can point the configure script there? I'm on 8.04 [20:07] anyone know a really good scan utility in linux [20:08] through repo or otherwise? [20:08] peterpanowski: What is it? [20:08] k4rt33k: i also tried unmounting a USB drive, and it caused an error. i then tried renaming stuff in my documents in my home folder and it wouldnt let me. i rebooted and it went to a recovery console where i had to run fsck and now everything seems ok. what the heck happened? [20:08] fretster: what do u mean by scan utility [20:08] a really good piece of software to scan documents and generate pdf's [20:08] i have Ubuntu up and running on my Gateway core i3 laptop form Best Buy, but i have to connect a moniter to the laptop to see my screen. is there any way i can configure Ubuntu to use my laptop screen? [20:08] k4rt33k: do you see the dialog up in the right corner ? all messages like that are fucked up [20:08] like acrobat pro kinda wuality [20:09] join #ubuntu-gr [20:09] uops [20:09] oups sorry [20:09] !language | peterpanowski [20:09] sorry ?

[20:09] sorry [20:09] peterpanowski: please mind your language - no swearing here [20:09] i`ll watch my language [20:10] EWR: No idea. Could be a mounting error. fsck is just a way to keep your data safe. It checks for any errors. Nothing to worry.!mount [20:10] !mount [20:10] mount is used to attach devices to directories.

Is there a way to fix it? [20:10] peterpanowski: Don't get me wrong but all i see is a pink strip [20:11] hi [20:11] k4rt33k: i've had 9.10 for 2 days ... lol.

[20:14] Do you all think I may get better results discussing a cpu throttling issue connecting to the ubuntu servers or should we discuss it here?

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [20:23] I thought my fan problem would be resolved but now the fan runs at 4900 rpm constantly instead of only occasionally. [20:23] Hello, can i ask a quick question ? [20:23] yes [20:23] This is a support question [20:24] slackguru: get on with it then [20:24] guntbert: I get vino is already the newest version [20:24] If i install Ubuntu on Win 7, won't it overwrite my OS ? [20:24] slackguru: Is it creating any problem? else ikonia answered the problem [20:24] ikonia, are all your problems two words? [20:24] jonathaN: then why do want to install it? you have it already [20:24] xenover: No...but make sure you got a sep partition for linux [20:24] xenover: You can install dual boot by making another partition [20:24] slackguru: ask the question please, or stop making noise in the channel [20:25] how do i ? [20:25] I was beginning to tell you all that if I wasn't rudely interrupted. [20:25] I demand this channel shut down [20:25] u can continue if i'm interrupting.. [20:25] After the fan began to run constantly I started seeing instant shutdowns [20:25] xenover, it depends on the method on installation.

[20:26] slackguru: you'll get a better response if you keep your questions short and sweet, quick overview is a good start [20:26] I checked the CPU temp in BIOS and it was at 92C [20:26] using wubi ? [20:26] okay [20:26] can i do it w/o having to burn it on a CD ?

Keep being awesome [20:28] I need to "remove" one directory name from long tree and shift EVERYTHING down one directory. mv? but don't see -r in man page [20:28] There are a lot of different bug reports on this issue and I was hoping to find help here to narrow it down. [20:28] jonathaN: vnc-e is not in the repos it seems - why do you need it? [20:28] guntbert: I want to run vnc server [20:29] InHisName: moving the top-level directory is already sufficient, all things under it will likewise move. [20:29] slackguru: find the one - or two that are closlest linked to your problem, eg: same ubuntu version, similar hardware etc [20:29] xenover, however, installing it "the normal way" is better, the system will be faster and you'll have less trouble. [20:29] jonathaN: vino *is* a vnc server - and you have that already [20:29] but if this is your first time in Ubuntu use wubi just in case you don't like it [20:29] actually that fifdn't work gnarwal because apt-get looks at the darkice from the repos rather than what I need to compile it === krzysztof is now known as Alien06 [20:29] ikonia, are you always this helpful or are you just having a good day? [20:29] guntbert: where do I find it or how do I config it? [20:30] I'm around most days [20:30] I'm using ircd-hybrid. I'm able to connect to 127.0.0.1, however when I'm trying to connect to a domain that points to the server IP, the connection is refused. How can I set it up so I can connect from an external computer? port 6667 is open [20:30] alankila: I move with the mv command to remove that one top level directory ? mv -r * / or different [20:30] ikonia, if you don't know anything about cpu throttling issues, just say so and be quiet after that. I am looking for someone that is willing to help with this issue. You clearly are not. [20:30] hey guys, have any of you guys tried using the apple mouse with linux? did it work well? [20:30] If i can't handle it, I'll do it the old-fashion way, I simply wanna try it out. [20:30] InHisName: eh. Forget -r. There's no such thing. [20:31] sinbox, if you need more dependencies use apt-cache search keyword. Keyword meaning "name dev" [20:31] slackguru: drop the attitude, I'm answering your questions, you asked where to report it - I told you, [20:31] and judging from your command line, you're about to make a serious mistake. Moving things into / doesn't seem too smart to me. [20:31] am trying to get for my compiz an enviromeant when am rotating the cube [20:32] j0nathan: system/preferences/remote desktop [20:32] alankila: really moving into /new/ from /new/home mounting at boot gave me /nome/home bummer. [20:32] InHisName: assume directory structure foo/bar, foo/baz/bah. If you want to remove foo, you would type mv foo/* . so that both bar and baz will appear in . [20:32] InHisName: now foo is empty, and can be safely removed. [20:32] No I never asked where to report it. I said there are already a lot of reports and I want to find help narrowing my issue, i.e. someone to brainstorm with, so my two cents aren't wasted on an unrelated topic. [20:33] OK, got info, will digest and give it a try. alankila [20:33] phemmy: You mean a skydome image? [20:33] guntbert: Thanks, I thought if I installed vnc server I would have more options than what is currently showing under Remote Desktop [20:33] Hello. Can Ubuntu be used without internet connection (meaning, burning the whole archive to cdroms)? If so, how many CDs does it take (the computer in question only has a CD drive)? [20:33] slackguru: ok - so narroing it down to the issue closest to you, with the best hardware match to you, best OS match to you is the best idea for a bug if there are multiple ones, you can always reference the other bugs in your update. eg: this also happens with bug#12345 [20:33] j0nathan: what options do you need? [20:33] pflanze: the whole archive is 60 gig, however you can burn what you need === lukjad007 is now known as lukjad86 [20:33] pflanze: yes, there is a dvd installer that doesn't need internet. [20:33] Anyone present that fits this description? I know ikonia doesn't already... More specifically, has anyone experienced this and has already successfully resolved their issue? [20:33] When playing audio or video, everything works fine for some seconds, then it starts skipping to the end of the fire. When I restart, that same thing happens again. Everything worked fine before. What? [20:34] has anyone ever used the apple mouse with ubuntu? or linux in general? i tried searching the internet but got no precise answer [20:34] pflanze: Depends on what packages you want to install [20:34] slackguru: this is your last warning - drop the attitude [20:34] !aptoncd | pflanze [20:34] pflanze: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline [20:34] guntbert: When I connect outside of my LAN i can't control the desktop I can only view it even thought allow control is checked. . . When Im on the LAN it works np [20:34] Hi, I'm having trouble getting my notify-osd popups displaying correctly - I'm only getting old-style yellow notifications, not the nice new ones. Compiz + Nvidia is all setup correctly - so any ideas? [20:34] It's for someone else and I don't know exactly what she'll need. Thanks for the APTonCD tip. [20:34] Are there already-packaged CDrom images around? [20:34] ikonia, I am only flaming you because you continue to flame me [20:35] pflanze: that normally works well, you can get the "main" stuff [20:35] elliotjhug: What nice new ones? AFAIK, the ones in karmic are still the yellow ones [20:35] slackguru: I'm not flaming you - I'm responding to your questions [20:35] alankila: thanks, worked like a champ [20:35] InHisName: excellent. [20:35] pflanze: i think you can download a DVD image with a lot of things on it already [20:35] !help > gnarwal [20:35] gnarwal, please see my private message [20:35] i'm getting sick of no linux dists supporting software raid :( [20:35] greetings marquis de sod! [20:35] Like, in Debian the images are roughly sorted by need, so like burning the first n CDs would be good already. [20:35] jpapertowel: all linux distro support software raid, fakeraid is poor in all distros, try not to use it [20:35] ricerocket: as I said, no DVDs. [20:35] only CDs [20:36] oh, sorry, didn't see that [20:36] jpapertowel: it tends to take some setup. I can report that at least lucid alpha 2 detected a software RAID I had going on my harddisks at install time [20:36] ikonia: i'm using software raid and grub won't install, how do i boot without a loader? [20:36] jpapertowel: it's also possible to set it up manually if you know your way around mdadm from terminal during install. [20:36] pflanze: I would try the aptoncd like ikonia suggested [20:36] Hello [20:36] grumbly: you install grub to the disk - not to the raid meta device [20:36] oops [20:36] jpapertowel: I have resorted to /boot partitions [20:36] jpapertowel: you install grub to the disk - not to the raid meta device [20:36] ikonia: how do i install grub to the disk? [20:36] ikonia: ?huh? [20:36] jpapertowel: also - make sure you have a seperate /boot partition if you are using raid 0 or 5, [20:37] grumbly: sorry - typo [20:37] I am having a problem while trying to Install Kubuntu 9.10 on raid 0 [20:37] ok [20:37] can anyone help? [20:37] jpapertowel: select the raw disk devices as the device [20:37] ikonia: sadly, grub2 doesn't seeom to handle RAID1 either [20:37] Everytime I start ubuntu I have no sound and to fix it I have to enter "killall pulseaudio" then increase the volume. Does anyone know why I have this problem? I upgraded from jaunty to karmic 3 days ago and have been having this problem since then [20:37] soreau: No, karmic has notify-osd and should show passive notifications [20:37] j0nathan: yes, thats what the dialog says ... - please have a look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1238976 - not sure if that applies [20:37] jpapertowel: also make sure your talking about software raid and not fake raid [20:37] ikonia: oh...guess I have to reinstall and make a boot partition this time *sigh* [20:37] soreau: I have another machine next to me running karmic with notifications [20:37] alankila: really ? I thought my fedora 12 box was grub2 and running on softrware raid [20:37] ikonia: these stupid wiki articles need to be updated to tell you things like this [20:37] how does one make the current gnome look/work a little more like a Mac interface? essentially I want the keystrokes and button positions... not any more [20:37] !offline [20:37] jpapertowel: the limitations of raid 1 and 5 are well documented [20:37] If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. Alternatively, try http://apt.alturl.com/ - See also !APTonCD [20:37] anyone? [20:38] elliotjhug: Well, that's news to me. Maybe you need to do updates? check sys>admin>software sources>updates [20:38] sorry raid 0 and 5 [20:38] (besides, I already got gloobus-preview and docky so that's taken care of) [20:38] ikonia: well, I've never had a successful grub2 install to md0, it generally comes up with "no device mapping for md0" or similar. Trying to use the separate disks seems to be out of question, maybe because md reserves the devices and doesn't allow access to the underlying partitions, or something. I'm guessing. [20:38] grumbly, are you running Ubuntu on Apple hardware? [20:38] Someone private me if they can help me get ubuntu installed on raid 0 [20:38] zeleftikam: Newp... on an eee [20:38] does anyone know why this would happen (ubuntu not respecting /etc/resolv.conf) http://dpaste.com/162675/ ? [20:38] alankila: you don't install to md0 you install to the raw device [20:38] I just like my mac keystrokes [20:39] and button positions [20:39] !splash [20:39] To change the Gnome splash screen, use gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor. [20:39] grumbly, what do you mean "button positions" [20:39] ikonia: can my /boot partition be ext4?

[20:39] alankila: I've never done it that way on grub 1 either [20:39] grumbly, there are some that look like OS X but im not sure if they have the buttons on the opposite side [20:39] !ops | FreenodeIsGay [20:39] FreenodeIsGay: Help!

[20:40] zeleftikam: not really- there are just too many to wade through... and maybe someone can point me in the right direction- toward some/one that has a whole littany of "adjustments" [20:41] soreau: Thanks for suggestion, but I have the latest updates (new notifications have been in ubuntu since the late jaunty alphas btw) [20:41] zeleftikam: there is mac4lin... but I don't know if it's compatible (and since it's not in sources, I'm willing top bet it's not) [20:41] My kernel is panicking dude! Okay so I wipe my drive and slap a bran new copy of 64-bit Karmic onto a partition. I install a driver for my graphics card and reboot, now I'm getting an error similar to 'Kernel panic. Cannot mount root FS.' yada yada yada. Can anybody help please? [20:41] elliotjhug: Well it's odd it's not working for you then. [20:41] shaullx: Usually ships with mic input muted/all the way down in the mixer. [20:42] SealedWithAKiss: do you have the same problem with 32 bit? [20:42] anyone help [20:42] elliotjhug: I don't know what the new ones look like, but AFAIK, I still have the old ones [20:42] no? [20:42] guntbert: Thanks for all your help I really appreciate it =) [20:42] SealedWithAKiss: No end of troubles today. Boot off of cd and fsck the drive. [20:42] soreau: what version of ubuntu are you running on then? [20:42] dj_segfault no it isnt nvm i found a tut [20:42] SealedWithAKiss: or the same problems with the liveCD? [20:42] finally sorted it gnarwal I needed libasound [20:42] dj_segfault, I know man! I'm in the live CD now. What's fsck? [20:42] elliotjhug: I'm referring to my karmic installs [20:43] sinbox, good to hear :) [20:43] soreau: purely for my own investigations - what graphics card you got in those? [20:43] hello, my keyboard fails ramdo [20:43] SealedWithAKiss: fsck=filesystem check [20:43] SealedWithAKiss: file system check. man fsck. What filesystem type are you using on that partition? [20:43] my keyboard fails randomly* [20:43] dj_segfault, I believe it's ext2. [20:43] some letters some time dont appears [20:44] dj_segfault, I believe it's ext3. [20:44] gabriel____: do you have a cat? :-D [20:44] j0nathan: did you get what you wanted? [20:44] elliotjhug: I have four pcs, one hardy, one jaunty, one karmic, one gentoo/karmic dual boot. One card is so old it can't run compiz, the karmic one is nvidia, jaunty is intel, the gentoo/karmic one is radeon [20:44] SealedWithAKiss: try a different fs? [20:44] Hi all. I'm trying to connect to a VPN using KNetworkManager (Kunbuntu 9.10). I have the configuration all setup AFAIK, but when I select the connection in the popup nothing happens. No connection, no error, nada. When I check /var/log/daemon.log, the first useful mention is "No VPN secrets!" What the heck does that mean, and what do I do about it? [20:44] grumbly, perhaps. [20:44] elliotjhug: But, I have a feeling it's not graphic card or compiz related [20:44] SealedWithAKiss: Run e2fsck [devicename] [20:44] SealedWithAKiss: maybe ext4? === shadenzo is now known as supercalifragili [20:44] dj_segfault: ? === supercalifragili is now known as shadenzo [20:44] elliotjhug: Can you provide screenshots of the new and old notifications? [20:44] SealedWithAKiss: or maybe try throwing /boot on a different partition [20:45] dj_segfault, device name as in /dev/sda7 ? [20:45] gabriel____: Sorry I shouldn't joke when the list is so busy. Is it PS/2, USB, or wireless [20:45] guntbert: You helped me figure out vino and VNC server are the same :P [20:45] SealedWithAKiss: that is what dj_segfault means [20:45] dj_segfault: notebook [20:45] new notifications are http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/265 old ones are http://bit.ly/cvz9AU [20:45] grumbly, dj_segfault, it just says that it's clean. [20:45] jonathaN: :) Good luck :-) [20:46] SealedWithAKiss: do it from single user [20:46] ikonia, I have made it clear that I am aware of the launchpad bug report process, I am also going to make it clear that I know how to reference apparently non-related bugs in my comments on existing bug reports, but so far, none of the bug reports are closely related to me because the only thing I find in common with most of the reports is that I am running karmic koala. This means that I may have an unrelated issue. If that is the case, [20:46] I need to find someone willing to work with me because I do not operate at the speed of launchpad, I am much quicker. Call it impatient if you will I refer to it as proactive. Most people, like yourself, live reactively and frankly I don't appreciate it. I am sure that I speak for others if you treat everyone as you have treated me. Now, with no attitude whatsoever, I would appreciate it if you do not respond to this if you are unwillin [20:46] g to brainstorm with me some possible solutions to the problem I am having, offering insight to things I may have overlooked. If you want to work with me in that capacity, a response would be appreciated, otherwise, you can keep your remaining two cents. [20:46] grumbly, what do you mean? [20:46] slackguru: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:46] SealedWithAKiss: when you type fsck -l /dev/sda (thats an L) that will list your partitions. make sure that's the right one. [20:46] SealedWithAKiss: can you post the output of mount in pastebin === Chunky is now known as chunk [20:46] and post the link [20:46] here [20:46] I use putty + ssh to create a type of VPN to connect to the internet using my server at home to what level can it be traced that I use the internet? [20:46] through that tunnel === root_ is now known as Guest69111 [20:46] dj_segfault: is possible to increase the keyboard buffer? [20:47] dj_segfault, it says fsck from util-linux-ng === ned is now known as Guest88903 [20:47] paulus68: they can see you're doing *something*, but not what it is. [20:47] paulus68: they can see you connecting to your server's ip and on what port, but the actual data is encryted [20:47] paulus68: that's assuming anything outbound from your home server is unmonitored, obviously. [20:47] encrypted* [20:47] paulus68: how is taht an ubuntu support question? [20:47] gabriel____: Hm.. Same keys or random keys give you trouble? [20:47] SealedWithAKiss: is / also where you are booting from? [20:47] paulus68: and that you're careful that things like dns requests also go through the tunnel. [20:47] Hello [20:47] dj_segfault: random keys [20:48] Ubuntu cannot mount raid during install < anyone know a fix for this [20:48] soreau: Did you get those links or did they get flooded out? (sorry for the bitly link but its a long url) [20:48] gabriel____: Sorry, you got me then. [20:48] marienz: well since everything is encrypted and they don't know my home ip adress it should be difficult [20:48] i want to see how to configure notfication system in ubuntu [20:48] 9.10 [20:49] gabriel____: sorry to come in to this a little behind, but you arent by chance using a wireless keyboard, are you? [20:49] elliotjhug: Ahhh, those notifications... [20:49] KnowTheLedge: I generally execute some sequence of commands like "modprobe raid1; mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1" before entering the partitioning dialogs, that way I have software raid that I can operate with in the install menus [20:49] dj_segfault: its a notebook [20:49] ops [20:49] elliotjhug: yea I get those on my karmic boxes as well as my jaunty one [20:49] grumbly, I haven't got a clue I kinda screwed things up. I originally dual booted Vista with Ubuntu, but Ubuntu screwed up and began spitting out error messages along the lines of ata1: ...... on startup. So I decided to format and reinstall the OS, however something went wrong and GRUB didn't create and entry for Windows Vista. So right now I have no Vista and no Ubuntu, and ultimately no data. Just me and my L [20:49] ive CD> [20:49] soreau: ah fair enough [20:49] grumbly: notebook [20:49] paulus68: they can see what host your encrypted data is going to (that is: they can find your home server trivially). But the others here mentioning this is offtopic here are right, so I'll shut up now :) [20:49] KnowTheLedge: lucid seems to finally do this automatically, or at least the server install of 10.04 I did today happened to have autodetected existing raid arrays. Finally. [20:49] slackguru: the chances are if there are no sensors for lm_sensors for your board and they are just running at full pelt all the time - that's the problem it can't detect when it is hot/cold, if there are no bugs logged that are you actual problem, log one so that others know it's a problem, but I suspect you'll need to interact with with the lmsensors maintainers to see if they can sort some sort of sensor config for it, or the apm guys in the kernel, bu [20:49] elliotjhug: I wonder if there's some switch you have to flip.. [20:49] slackguru: not everthing can be fixed "now" [20:49] elliotjhug: Perhaps, it is a gconf key setting? [20:50] soreau: I'm gonna be dissapearing for a mo - thanks for confirming they work on nvidia though - narrows my search a little (and I'll look into the gconf idea) [20:50] SealedWithAKiss: Gimme some info here- in terminal, run mount and put it in pastebin and post the url to the pastebin here [20:50] guntbert: It's a kind of support question since I use ssh to set it up and I don't want to leave any trace of it thats why [20:50] somone can help i want to get the command to configure notification system in ubuntu [20:50] kimo: notify-osd [20:50] is what it is. [20:50] paulus68: no - not ubuntu support - its a networking question [20:50] thank's Man [20:50] but I don't know more than that [20:51] Kimo: are you trying to move the notifications or something? [20:51] guntbert: ok is there a networking support here? [20:51] gabriel____: huh... weird. [20:51] gabriel____: does it work in other OS? [20:51] Yes i want to do that [20:51] grumbly, http://pastebin.com/m7f7b4e8f [20:51] Kimo: gimme a sec- [20:51] ikonia, my fan worked fin until yesterday and there were no changes to my os... [20:51] i want to edit the time of Notification [20:52] ok [20:52] kimo: http://www.webupd8.org/2009/10/things-to-fix-tweak-after-installing.html [20:52] slackguru: oh reallyy,what was it usig to detect the speed if it no sensos ? [20:52] paulus68: try ##networking or ##security [20:52] sensorsven [20:52] I cleaned the computer yesterday and the fan just began to run all the time. [20:52] ughh "sensors even" [20:52] Ok i go now to see this website [20:52] guntbert: thanks [20:52] grumbly: yes, in mandriva that came from factory [20:53] gabriel____: maybe adjust your keyboard layout- [20:53] grumbly, I have basically screwed up everything and bricked my system. Sounds like a major recovery operation would be needed. [20:53] SealedWithAKiss: nah [20:53] that's a really good question ikonia maybe you can answer that one [20:53] SealedWithAKiss: are you running a livecd now? [20:53] grumbly, yup. [20:53] grumbly can you gimee your gmail adress if you want because i think you are expert in ubuntu [20:53] can you ?? [20:53] SealedWithAKiss: oh... [20:53] slackguru: I can only assume that your bios is supported directly by apmd [20:54] grumbly, problem? [20:54] SealedWithAKiss: can you replace the default vmlinuz and initrd that is booting by default [20:54] Thats good info ikonia [20:54] Looking for help with Ubuntu 9.10 boot problems if anyone can help. [20:54] SealedWithAKiss: replace=rename and use another [20:55] Kimo: haha!! that's a massive compliment. I just knew what you wanted to do because I had the same problem [20:55] slackguru: have you checked if thats got support - that may be a good start ? [20:55] ikonia: i'm at the part where i make the /boot partiton, should I make 2 boot partitions and RAID them or make 2 boot partitions and leave them as it is? [20:55] would there be different utils to see a fan report if mine are directly supported by apmd? [20:55] grumbly, that's like speaking Arabic to me. Break it down a little more please, with commands? [20:56] grumbly: you know when some app freezes? and the keyboard dont respond and after this, the letters appears [20:56] slackguru: no, I suspect the fan tools are the same tools, but I don't know for %100 certain [20:56] hahaha ok man you are very helpful for me [20:56] jpapertowel: you can raid them, just use raid 1 [20:56] SealedWithAKiss: from the liveCD, mount your hd root or boot... whichever is appropriate for your configuration. [20:56] the site you give me is very important [20:56] are there any display/xorg-expert around?! [20:56] OK, is there a better channel than this one to ask about vpn issues? [20:56] SealedWithAKiss: then go to /boot [20:56] ikonia: can't use raid0? :/ [20:56] This topic is so generally brushed over in all of the supporting documents I read... [20:56] grumbly: here the app freeze for a while but the system loses the input [20:56] jpapertowel: no, /boot raid 0 or 5 is not supported [20:56] okay [20:57] slackguru: what board is it ? [20:57] gabriel____: sounds like something is hanging... I have had this problem and fixed it by not using the application that was causing the hang [20:57] gabriel____: that's all I got on it... [20:58] I need help creating a ttyUSB* , MAKEDEV script wont work [20:58] grumbly, so I am mounting the partition that's messed up? I can't quite understand. === IP-v6 is now known as ugur [20:58] Its an intel board that came in an HP Pavilion a815n, very problematic with the 3.07 GHz cpu [20:58] grumbly, what am I meant to be mounting? I am massive novice. === ugur is now known as IP-v6 [20:58] It was so bad when I got it it couldn't even run the OS that came with it. [20:58] hi all, FHoSS cant conect to icsf and scsf (openims)... any clue...?? [20:58] SealedWithAKiss: if it's ACTUALLY messed up, yes. but I doubt that it really is. I bet the initrd is pooped or the kernel image is poop... [20:58] Hey, i'm trying to convert .aa files to .mp3 [20:58] phrix: wrong window? [20:58] slackguru: oh, it's a laptop [20:59] No its a tower [20:59] grumbly: and about the keyboard buffer? is possible to increase? in windows i know that is possible [20:59] and I've googled and googled, but all of these programs that I've been given that apparently work in wine, I can't get to work - such as goldwave [20:59] hej [20:59] im not using Ipv6 i can remove it [20:59] HP Pavilion a815n Intel i815 chipset [20:59] gabriel____: I'm sure it is... But i don't know how to do it. [20:59] onboard everything [20:59] guntbert, what's wrong?? [20:59] grumbly: ok, thanks [21:00] SealedWithAKiss, what is your predicament? You trying to identify your root partition? [21:00] grumbly, I'm in boot now. [21:00] gabriel____: like I said, I only ever fixed this issue by figuring out what was hanging [21:00] SealedWithAKiss: do you have a menu.lst? [21:00] slackguru: a completely different approach: could it be that while cleaning you damaged the thermal contact between cpu and cooler? [21:00] I need help creating a ttyUSB* , MAKEDEV script wont work [21:00] * Antisoche will wait & watch [21:00] Antisoche, I did mkdir /Mounted then mount /dev/sda7 /Mounted then cd /Mounted/boot [21:01] slackguru: did you say the fan is behaving as expected in the bios [21:01] I need to be able to give people access to a very large file server. They need to be able to write to it. But I don't want them to be able to delete anything. how do I do this? [21:01] grumbly, nope. [21:01] grumbly give me now the command of Osd [21:01] grumbly: and how i can discover it? [21:01] gabriel____: I dont know why you'd want to INCREASE the buffer though... [21:01] phrix: I had no idea about you were talking - usually that happens when people are talking to some other channel :) [21:01] PyroPhelia: write = delete [21:01] SealedWithAKiss: then you have grub2... [21:01] *about what [21:01] PyroPhelia: look at ftp daemons, some have that functionality. [21:01] I thought that for a bit, it appeared there was some excess heat transfer gel, but I then thought maybe the dust in the room was too great... [21:01] I seem to be having problems getting dockbarx ackknowledging any themes i put in ~/.dockbarx/themes or /usr/share/dockbarx/themes [21:01] do you have the dir grub/? [21:02] Kimo: I don't know that [21:02] gunbert, I have no idea where is the exactly channel... [21:02] is there a way to specify a route (IP) based on the application that is running? [21:02] grumbly: i can press just 2 letters simultaneously [21:02] What doesn't make sense is that the lm-sensors doesn't detect any sensors, but the fan worked before the cleaning. [21:02] I need help creating a ttyUSB* for a 3G conection, MAKEDEV script wont work [21:02] grumbly, I do yeah. [21:02] Kimo: also, I am guessing your first language is not english [21:02] phrix: maybe if you omit the abbreviations .... [21:02] It was getting a little to intrusive because of the dust collection running a little too often, but now.... [21:02] I need help creating a ttyUSB* for a 3G conection, MAKEDEV script wont work, i'm running ubuntu Karmic [21:02] SealedWithAKiss: cd into it please. and look there for a menu.lst or anything [21:02] i want to configure notification system === raymon is now known as Razza [21:03] I'm not good in english [21:03] also look for initrd and vmlinuz images [21:03] slackguru: I've just found a post on the interenet that is almost identical, someone cleaned their fan, put if back and now it's kicking in all the time [21:03] grumbly, no menu.lst [21:03] link me? [21:03] I amy have already read it. [21:03] slackguru: some guys are suggesting the contact with the alu case isn't bang on or it's not connected right [21:03] Kimo: I can't help you with that. If you want to try messing with it, it is probably best done through gconf editor [21:03] slackguru: http://forums.devshed.com/cooling-105/cpu-fan-causing-shutdown-528966.html [21:03] iceroot, then how do people work on large file servers without accedental deletes happening? [21:04] I need help creating a ttyUSB* for a 3G conection, MAKEDEV script wont work, i'm running ubuntu Karmic [21:04] Does anyone have any experience setting up raid5 with a redundancy drive? [21:04] PyroPhelia: they run glftpd for their warez-servers :P [21:04] Younder: yes, why ? [21:04] blackstar_, MAKEDEV is for pre-udev stuff; antiquated long ago. Plug in your device, wait a few seconds, and type 'dmesg | tail'. The device name will should appear at the bottom. [21:04] Younder: yes. [21:04] SealedWithAKiss: ok... look for your most recent initrd and vmlinuz [21:04] ok thanks [21:04] hi [21:05] SealedWithAKiss: those would be back in /boot [21:05] SwedeMike, i'm working with a 1.85PB HD fileserver for video, not warez. We're moving to a new system i'm i'm paranoid about users deleting stuff. [21:05] blackstar_: what 3g dongle is it ? [21:05] grumbly, there are two of both. Most recent it 31-19 [21:05] PyroPhelia: samba might be able to do what you want as well, I don't know it well enough [21:05] is** [21:05] Is there a way to make downloading&installing packages from http://apt.alturl.com/ secure? [21:06] how do i get spotify to work it says it can't find my soundcard [21:06] is a Gobi chipset on my toshiba laptop [21:06] SwedeMike, this is a prodessional network, no windows computers, linux/mac [21:06] lineh is a Gobi chipset on my toshiba laptop [21:06] professional* [21:06] PyroPhelia: well, look into the different ftp servers available then. [21:06] blackstar_, Once you've gotten that, check the web for a way to make it permanent using udev. Based on the model number, etc, you can write a udev rule to give it a fixed name like "/dev/3g" or whatever. [21:06] SealedWithAKiss: ok- so you'lll need to get a copy of those images or something maybe newer [21:06] SwedeMike, i'm not using ftp at all. maybe you have missed the point. [21:06] when they're downloaded, install them [21:06] SwedeMike, they access the server either using afp or nfs. not ftp [21:07] I have an advanced question [21:07] ikonia, I have 35 disk array set up in 7 banks. 3 dives to a raid cluster. 2 clusers to a redunt drive. I want the 5 reduntant drives shared in a pool and a disk delegated to the raid that fails. Any Doc's/hint's on how to do this? [21:07] grumbly, what's this going to do? Where do I get the copies? I'm confuzzled. [21:07] Hi, anyone know of any web based calendar that I can access over my lan? [21:07] if i am logged into a server what is the best way to copy files from that server to my local machine [21:07] SealedWithAKiss: apt [21:07] Is there a way to get individual debs checked against package signatures? I know I could do it manually by using gpg and sha1sum, but is there a program to do it? [21:07] Antisodhe thanks, i been using the qcserial but that does not work [21:07] Younder: are you using linux software raid for this ? [21:07] gigawatt: use scp [21:07] gigawatt, hardly advanced. if you're logged in via ssh you can't. log in via sftp [21:07] grumbly, apt? I'm not down with the lingo. [21:08] grumbly, You think SWAK deleted (his|her) kernel? [21:08] PyroPhelia: yes, I didn't read that. Don't know if that can be done. [21:08] ikonia, yes, I don't wan't a harware error to take ot a whole cluster. [21:08] wait i can just use scp the other way to grab the files off [21:08] SealedWithAKiss: apt is package management [21:08] Younder: sounds like you could do with zfs or some thing [21:08] Antisoche, what's the deal? Have I deleted my kernel? [21:08] ikonia, that link sounds identicle to mine with the exception that we know not the OS involved. I read the thread and it appears it has no solution posted. [21:08] SealedWithAKiss: from gnome, you can use synaptic [21:08] gigawatt: there's also sshfs [21:08] SealedWithAKiss, it seems unlikely; I'm trying to understand what grumbly is working towards. [21:09] gigawatt: that depends - but in any case you can use it from your local station and access the remote host [21:09] PyroPhelia: look into chmod, Sticky-bit might solve this for you. [21:09] Younder: ok, so bascially when you setup the array, you need to make sure you do a --spare-device=1 for each array, and make sure you specify the same spare device per cluster of arrays. You may also want to look at something like zfs that actually does disk pooling exactly as you want [21:09] Antisoche: no, i dont think that- but I think maybe it's written to a bad spot on the drive === trineox is now known as Guest96660 [21:09] slackguru: yes, it does look almost identitical to your description [21:09] Antisoche, I'm trying to understand too. I don't have enough information to do what he's asking. Since I don't have much experience using Linux. [21:09] Antisoche: if he can boot off CD, but not off drive, [21:10] hi [21:10] grumpy, I need to know specific commands. I can't fill in the gaps. [21:10] Antisoche: I am going to see if using a kernel image will garner better results [21:10] ikonia, that link was posted june 2008, you would think there would be a solution posted by now, I hate when people do not revisit their posts and supply the solution that worked. [21:10] SealedWithAKiss: I didnt know that you werent very familiar. My apologies. [21:10] SealedWithAKiss: give me a minute... [21:10] slackguru: he may not have a solution and is just living with it [21:11] ikonia, linxeh Ill look into zfs thanks. I thought I would need some fancy scripting for this.. (Testing it makes me shudder..) [21:11] SealedWithAKiss: I don't have 64-bit so I dont know the package names... [21:11] any chance someone could help me fix Grub, I just installed win 7 and Grub has now gone [21:11] Dist`: grub or grub2? [21:11] i've followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows but it is still booting windows automaticaly [21:11] what driver should I install for Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02) ? [21:11] SealedWithAKiss, What were you doing when the machine stopped working? [21:11] grub legacy [21:11] Younder: when you build and array and you do /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb2 etc, the last one is always the spare, if you want to share spare disks, just name the same disk across arrays as the spare [21:11] grumbly, yeah I am a complete novice. [21:11] Younder: zfs is a better solution though [21:12] Antisoche, I installed a driver for my ATI card. [21:12] Antisoche, then rebooted. [21:12] SealedWithAKiss: I did not know- So, maybe Antisoche can give some help too... [21:12] Younder: zfs might not do what you want and it might mean a change in OS [21:12] NCS_One: usually intel chips work out of the box [21:12] linxeh: zfs does do what Younder wants [21:12] I want awn look like macOs Dock [21:13] SealedWithAKiss, Ok. That sounds generally safe ... so why do you say your computer isn't booting now? [21:13] i installed pulseaudio and played with the input (my mic didnt work) and since that i only get sound on the login screen after i login no sound anywhere wth? [21:13] Hey, I've got a question that I can't find a solution to in the support forums [21:13] guntbert, the sound is really strange, I'm on headphones and the sound seems to go from one side to the other [21:14] and vice versa [21:14] ikonia: I wasnt aware there was a proper linux release, other than that fuse port ? [21:14] exit [21:14] ikonia, thank you for your help and understanding... I am going to go put the system under a heavy load and see if I suffer shutdowns... be back later [21:14] is the version of wine in the repos (wine1.2 - 1.1.31.0ubuntu3) good enough if i want (need) to install Office 2007? [21:14] linxeh: there isn't [21:14] !ask | nosferatu [21:14] nosferatu: 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. :-) [21:14] gregg: why not use a linux alternative such as abiword/openoffice? [21:14] Antisoche, when I rebooted I got an error message along the lines of kernel panic. Can not find root FS. Not that exactly, but words to that effect. [21:14] gregg: check the application database [21:14] !appdb | gregg [21:14] gregg: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [21:14] ikonia, for testing is there a command to make a drive fail (in software) [21:14] ikonia: ok whatever. [21:14] when i try to do sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/disk /dev/sda5 it says install finished, no errors reported. But it also says things like cannot open /boot/grub/device.map, and 494 =: unexpected operator [21:15] someone please its kinda urgent i need to skype and my mic doesnt work and now my speakers also [21:15] gregg: chances are it will be fine though [21:15] SealedWithAKiss: I found this just now- I am not sure how much it will help you, but here goes : http://forums.amd.com/devforum/messageview.cfm?catid=328&threadid=116112 [21:15] Younder: if you do a --manage you can mark a drive as failed [21:15] thanks Slart [21:15] any idea how to change splash screen? cause i tried many guides but nothing happened [21:15] !splash [21:15] !please | shaullx [21:15] To change the Gnome splash screen, use gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor. [21:15] For some reason my "Notification Area" gets borked sometimes.. specifically, my networkmanager thing with the icon for my wireless connection disappears and is "replaced" with another dummy one, usually my Bluetooth icon but sometimes my audio one [21:15] shaullx: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude [21:15] ikonia, thx ill take if from there [21:15] !repeat [21:15] 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. [21:15] !details | shaullx [21:15] shaullx: Please give us full details.

[21:15] !attitude [21:15] The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [21:15] i already did [21:15] how do I make ubuntu boot into a tty instead of X? /etc/inittab seems to be gone.. [21:15] ah, sorry, I am running 9.10 as well [21:16] loloftherings: get rid of gdm [21:16] SealedWithAKiss, ok. What that means is that the kernel can't find your root filesystem. Do you have any other boot options in your GRUB menu? [21:16] i installed pulseaudio and played with the input (my mic didnt work) and since that i only get sound on the login screen after i login no sound anywhere wth? [21:16] loloftherings: disabel gdm/kdm [21:16] hi yall [21:16] blakkheim: gdm is gone.. [21:16] Antisoche, I don't get a GRUB menu. [21:16] loloftherings: then what does it boot to? [21:16] ikonia, one more question, what if /proc/acpi/thermal_zones/ is empty does that help you point me in a direction? [21:16] Antisoche, oh sorry I do. [21:16] shaullx: oh.. sorry.. I must have missed where you mentioned all those things.. [21:16] slackguru: well that suggests the OS has no idea of the temperature at all [21:16] blakkheim: getting an error right now.. the graphics error [21:16] Antisoche, there's recovery and memtest I think. [21:16] slackguru: which suggests "something" has broke if it was working before [21:16] loloftherings: more details will help [21:17] SealedWithAKiss, Ok - so at boot you get a menu with only three options? [21:17] blakkheim: the one that gives you an option to run in low graphics, tty or reconfigure the graphics [21:17] loloftherings: instead of removing gdm, DISABLE it thru rc [21:17] when i attach a usb flash drive in karmic, i get a warning saying automount failed because it's unauthorized. how do i make auto mounting work? [21:17] loloftherings: and if you pick tty? [21:17] slackguru: based on the forum post I wonder if there has been a hardware failure [21:17] yo yo yo [21:17] Antisoche, there are double entries for initrd (is it?) and vmlinuz. [21:17] ikonia, i really do think this is a false report, my CPU is cool to the touch when the bios says its running at 92C [21:17] blakkheim: it will get a tty, but I get the same error every time I boot [21:17] Slart thats ok , can you help me? [21:17] NCS_One: no idea then - try to play with the audio settings maybe? [21:17] SealedWithAKiss, Is there anything unusual about your computer? Is it a regular desktop or is it a server with some weird RAID device? [21:17] Hello. I'm running Ubuntu (server if it matters) 9.10, nvidia card with nvidia driver. TV-Out without nvidia driver gives color, with nvidia driver gives only black and white. I have tried: sudo nvidia-xconfig --tv-standard=NTSC-M --tv-out-format=SVIDEO (and variants like NTSC-J & COMPOSITE. Google fails me now. Any ideas? [21:17] slackguru: I don't doubt it's a false rpeort, that's why I'm suggesting it /may/ be a hardware failure, on the board [21:18] Antisoche, there's no RAID configuration. Your standard Dell desktop machine. [21:18] anyone know why my machine auto boots into windows even after doing a grub-install? [21:18] grumbly: how excactly do I do that? [21:18] Dist`: you didn't do it correctly [21:18] What do people suggest for a vpn client other than network-manager, which is apparently double-plus-ungood? [21:18] i did it as it said [21:18] Dist`: did you install in the mbr? [21:18] Dist`, your bios is pointing to the windows drive and not the linux drive? [21:18] See, now you're just coming with bad news, I was hoping to avoid that altogether... [21:18] loloftherings: if you can get sysv-rc-conf or rename the rc scripts by hand, that would be the best way [21:18] Crell: ssh [21:19] sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/disk /dev/sda5 [21:19] shaullx: I don't think so.. I'm still reading through all your previous messages.. searching for what version of ubuntu you're running.. [21:19] Merritt, you can define the tv standard in xorg.conf to set the tv standard [21:19] where i can find soft for blackberry phone [21:19] hayleyw i only have 1 drive [21:19] grumbly: sysv-rc-conf didn't show gdm anymore if I'm right [21:19] Dist`, install to /dev/sda, not /dev/sda5 [21:19] ikonia: i'm on the grub install stage of the installer, but it says grub-install to (hd0) fails :( [21:19] grumbly: I'll try to rename the scripts [21:19] is there actually a soulseek client for linux? [21:19] Slart 9.10 [21:19] hey ppl i am runnin karmic and i cant read .mp3 with Amarok ! i already tried xine and lame ! didnt make it. someone knows the solution plz?

[21:20] ok i just ran it as /dev/sda, ill quickly reboot and see if it has worked [21:20] loloftherings: look for SXX scripts related to xorg and gdm and rename them to KXX [21:20] blakkheim: ssh is not a vpn client. [21:20] remoteCTRL, http://freshmeat.net/projects/pyslsk/ [21:20] Crell: it can be used as one [21:20] ty blakkheim [21:20] grumbly: ok, thanks [21:20] pinkspider: really fat indian [21:20] SealedWithAKiss, So basically, the way the computer boots is that there is a boor loader; generally GRUB these days in the linux world. The boot loader knows where the kernel is and loads it. The kernel, though, puts most of its drivers into a ramdisk, including the driver for the hard drive. The boot loader makes the ramdisk available to the kernel so if can talk to the disk and mount the root filesystem. Got all that? [21:20] I found ssh is a better VPN solution then every other solution I've tried. [21:20] ^ [21:20] miraiw: when helping be helpful === trimethylxanthin is now known as pvc [21:20] mmm anyone know how long it take for an uploaded package to launchpad (with dput) to appear on the web ? [21:21] thx blakkheim and ActionParsnip [21:21] Antisoche, I believe so yeah. [21:21] I don't see it in interface and no error after dput [21:21] alguém fala portugués ? [21:21] !pr [21:21] blakkheim: That is substantially beyond my network-fu. [21:21] brasil ? [21:21] !br [21:21] Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [21:21] !pt | pinkspider [21:21] pinkspider: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. [21:21] SealedWithAKiss, When you install a new device driver, often times the ramdisk gets regenerated. If this fails because the disk is full, or whatever, you're going to have problems. [21:21] hayleyw thankyou [21:21] #ubuntu-br [21:21] I am ideally looking for a GUI. I've been recommended kvpnc on another forum. [21:21] its working again :) [21:21] Dist`, you're welcome :) [21:21] Antisoche, okay. [21:21] Crell: might be time to learn some ssh basics then [21:22] I did apt-get install "packagename" but its a really old version, im using 8.0.4 lts ubuntu, is there a way to see if there is a newer version of this package somehow? [21:22] how would I go about editing list that shows up in grub now? [21:22] rservers: 8.04 is old, so the packages will be old [21:22] blakkheim: Are you saying that ubuntu does not support VPNs except via CLI? [21:22] its nothing important, but i just want to change my windows option from 'win 7 RC' to 'win 7 ultimate' [21:22] Crell: i said nothing of the sort [21:22] SealedWithAKiss, So, from your live CD, you can poke around on the hard drive and find your kernel and ramdisk. These are usually available from the root filesystem as /vmluinuz and /initrd.img [21:22] Dist`, edit /etc/grub/menu.lst [21:22] DISt Startup-Manager [21:22] thankyou again :) [21:23] Dist Use Startup-Manager [21:23] i upgraded to backports and suddenly my network activity is severely hampered, any ideas about what i should check? [21:23] Crell: i'm saying that ssh is a very good solution for vpn, and someone else agreed. you can use whatever you like, that's just my suggestion. [21:23] Antisoche, I mounted /dev/sda7 and can browse the FS via the terminal. I can access /boot and view the vmlinuz and initrd files. [21:23] (btw, don't be offended if i quit without warning, my network connection is really shoddy...that's the whole problem!) [21:23] one last question before I go, i noticed that when reading through the ubuntu help guide, even though im on 9.10 im running grub legacy, is there a need for me to update to Grub 2? [21:23] guntbert, I just installed ubuntu and its the first movie I trying to see on it, and I think its the movie sound thats ruined :( [21:23] blakkheim: I shall revise my inquiry then. Can anyone recommend a good GUI vpn client for (K)Ubuntu besides network-manager? [21:24] NCS_One: good explanation :) [21:24] Dist`, if what you have works, keep it [21:24] guntbert, going to check it on another PC [21:24] SealedWithAKiss, There is also usually a backup of each of these (.old). To make it difficult, the files are really there, what those files are are symlinks. The files are typically put into /boot, which is a small partition at the beginning of the disk because some computer BIOSes (the thing that boots the computer) are too old to read too far into the bigger disks. [21:24] SealedWithAKiss, 'the files _aren't_ really there...' [21:24] !attitude [21:24] The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available.

[21:25] SealedWithAKiss, So, having said that -- what you need to do is give GRUB a good kernel and good ramdisk to boot your computer. [21:25] okay so I used software raid to create a 100 MB RAID1 ext4 /boot partition, a 1.5 TB RAID0 ext4 / partition, and a 4 GB swap partition - now I go to install grub and it fails...what command should I be using to install grub? [21:26] Antisoche, well my BIOS is the most up to date version. [21:26] SealedWithAKiss, Fortunately, GRUB has an interactive menu that you can use to help you troubleshoot. From your mounted partition, copy down the filenames of all the 'vmlinuz' and 'initrd.img' files you have. === Iyunkateus is now known as aihunkatihys [21:27] SealedWithAKiss, It doesn't matter how new _your_ machine is. Software has to deal with this cruft almost forever. [21:28] shaullx: it seems the acer aspire d250 should work out of the box with 9.10. At least according to this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1141529&page=12 . You could try using plain alsa if its pulseaudio that is messing things up.. pastebins of "cat /proc/asound/cards" might be useful as well [21:28] SealedWithAKiss, So - you should know what your root filesystem is (/dev/sda?) and the smaller /boot filesystem (which sounds like /dev/sda7). [21:28] essentially, my network is characterized by giving me the correct download speed according to speedtest but working really really slowly whenever it has to load pages, taking forever to run host if it wasn't recently accessed and cutting off large (>5MB) downloads in the middle. i turned off ipv6 according to what i saw on the forums, though it doesn't seem to have made much of a difference (should it have, really?) i'm going a little [21:28] crazy, especially as i don't know of any way to downgrade back to my old system... [21:29] Antisoche, vmlinuz and initrd have two versions. They both have a 31-14 and a 31-19 versison. [21:29] SealedWithAKiss, In my /boot, I have 'vmlinuz' 2.6.28-15, 2.6.31-18 and 2.6.31-20. Each of these has their own initrd [21:29] i've been using one sort of k/ubuntu for several years already and i've never had a problem like this [21:29] happyhessian_, try adding 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 in your DNS list, it may speed stuff up [21:30] happyhessian_:that may make things bad too. [21:30] Antisoche, so I have vmlinuz 2.6.31-14/19 [21:30] happyhessian_, you can also install and configure dnsmasq to keep the most dns resolves local [21:30] happyhessian__: what browser are you using? [21:30] SealedWithAKiss, Ok, good. From your GRUB boot menu, you should be able to select the -14 revision of the 2.6.31 kernel and it'll just boot normally, with the slightly older kernel and no new driver. [21:30] Antisoche, how will I do that? [21:30] SealedWithAKiss: that is a much easier way of doing what I suggested [21:30] or tried to suggest [21:31] SealedWithAKiss, At boot, the menu should give you an option for each. You just pick it. [21:31] Antisoche, use 'e' to edit when GRUB loads? And then change 31-19 to 31-14? [21:31] Antisoche, ohh okay then. [21:31] SealedWithAKiss, If that doesn't happen, yes, you can use 'e' to edit it. [21:32] Antisoche, I'll give that a shot now then. [21:32] grumbly: even as we speak, quassel is periodically cutting itself off (EDIT: has just cut itself off) [21:32] Antisoche, brb. [21:32] Antisoche: in ref. to this problem, from the AMD developer forum, "Looks like a bug in the fglrx driver when PAT is enabled in the kernel" [21:32] hi guys [21:33] happyhessian: tried a different browser? [21:33] guntbert, the movie sound is ok [21:33] grumbly, I wouldn't expect the driver to be loaded from the ramdisk. Where do you see that posted? [21:33] edqnag: Did you install Ubuntu or Kubuntu. And which version? [21:33] can i delete .deb files in var/cache/apt/archives without problems? [21:33] Antisoche: http://forums.amd.com/devforum/messageview.cfm?catid=328&threadid=116112 [21:34] thx [21:34] i have an imac connected to a dell with a cross over cable both running ubuntu 9.10 one x86 and the other ppc. i was able to get a bridge working to get the imac online once but i broke it. is there a howto on network bridges? imac -> pc laptop (wireless) [21:34] dangerman, use: sudo apt-get clean [21:34] dangerman: use apt-get clean or autoclean (see « man apt-get ») [21:34] dangerman: yes, once they're installed [21:34] guntbert, only on ubuntu its not [21:34] Antisoche, it's working! [21:34] Antisoche: i dont either, but I DO think there is something incompatible with the kernl [21:34] and driver [21:34] dangerman, if space is an issue, consider removing old unused kernels [21:34] okay so I used software raid to create a 100 MB RAID1 ext4 /boot partition, a 1.5 TB RAID0 ext4 / partition, and a 4 GB swap partition - now I go to install grub and it fails...what command should I be using to install grub? [21:34] SealedWithAKiss, Well now, that wasn't so tough, was it? :) [21:35] Antisoche, so what do I do now with version 19? Do I have to select version 14 every time I wanna boot? [21:35] NewWorld i have latest version of ubuntu [21:35] Antisoche, no particularly no. [21:35] edqnag: Lucid? [21:35] jsilver: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BridgingNetworkInterfaces may help?

[21:37] Antisoche, while you here you may be able to help me with something else. When I installed Ubuntu GRUB didn't create an entry for my Vista partition, which I can't boot into. I know it's there but I can't boot into it. [21:37] Antisoche, ? [21:37] Kimo: do a minimal install with a lightweight window manager [21:37] Kimo: is there anything in particular you are finding slow? [21:37] Antisoche, no it's only 5% used. [21:37] SealedWithAKiss: regards to the panic issue, you're experiencing a bug that is confirmed. There is an incompatibility with the ATI driver and the 64-bit kernel. [21:37] SealedWithAKiss, I'm old and crochety. I want my LILO back. [21:37] NewWorld i downloaded ubuntu from main site and instaled, my screen freezed and when i restarted ubuntu i saw i have KDE desktop instead of GNOME, now i dont know how to get back on GNOME, i dont even know how to set up internet on KDE, since i have dual OS im on windows now [21:38] SealedWithAKiss, Are you sure you still have Vista on the drive? [21:38] grumbly, really? That's a slaaaaag. [21:38] Help! I deleted my /etc/postgresql* and I thought re-installing postgresql would recover the conf files, but it didn't. How do get Ubuntu to restore the conf files? [21:38] Antisoche, I hope so. [21:38] edqnag, log off, select gnome, log on [21:38] grumbly, so I can't use enhanced desktop effects? [21:38] SealedWithAKiss: Good news is, once you're comfortable building a kernel, you can fix the bug by recompiling! [21:38] Access_Denied: How are you supposed to 'select gnome' lol? [21:38] no no it's not slow but i want some speed [21:38] edogawa_,you select the DE from the list at the bottom [21:38] ActionParsnip: : How are you supposed to 'select gnome' lol? [21:39] NewWorld, see above ;) [21:39] ActionParsnip i dont have GNOME to select on log in [21:39] grumbly, so I can't use enhanced desktop effects or anything? === MK-1 is now known as MK-BB [21:39] Can someone help me with the cli doing an rsync with another computer on my Lan [21:39] grumbly, this is why Windows is so much easier. [21:39] SealedWithAKiss, Type 'fdisk -l /dev/sda' and see if there's a large NTFS partition there (or pastebin the output) [21:39] ActionParsnip: Ubuntu doesn't come preinstalled with both GNOME and KDE [21:39] SealedWithAKiss: at the moment, not with the 64bit kernel, no... [21:39] Crewsr3: you have to tell rsync that the dest is on a remote system ( it could be with a : between host and path ??) [21:39] Kimo: Well in general blakkheim ideas quite good - I know people on lower spec systems find Xubuntu to be fast but still useable === farner_ is now known as farner [21:40] Antisoche, it's there. [21:40] guntbert, http://paste.ubuntu.com/381198/ this is what I tryed can you let me know what I did wrong [21:40] ActionParsnip so how i just get back gnome instead of kde [21:40] NewWorld, if gnome was previously installed but kde has appeared then it sounds like both are currently installed, i know ubuntyu doesnt come with both installed [21:40] Ok thanks [21:40] SealedWithAKiss, Windows is easier because the driver developers write for Windows. We Linux folx have to do it all ourselves. It takes longer. [21:40] I Have AWN how i cant transform it to be like macOs Doc 100% [21:41] SealedWithAKiss, What partition is it? [21:41] Antisoche, /dev/sda1 [21:41] ActionParsnip it can be that kde installed when i installed K3B via synaptic [21:41] Crewsr3: please read man rsync yourself - I'm off to bed (but look out for a : ) [21:41] Antisoche, SealedWithAKiss: FOUND THIS! may work with the panics- http://www.lamnk.com/blog/page/2/ [21:41] mplayer & vlc won't play DVDs. help [21:41] guntbert, I have been reading the man pages and I'm stuck [21:41] Bonjour.

[21:41] SealedWithAKiss: it's about midway down on the page [21:41] edqnag, sounds likely. k3b uses qt libs like kde [21:42] Crewsr3: then please ask the channel again - I'm defintely off :-) [21:42] ActionParsnip but how i simply switch back to gnome [21:42] SealedWithAKiss, grumbly: before we go too far with blogs (I didn't look at that link) we should upgrade to the latest kernel & OS patches I'd recommend... [21:42] Any recommendations for a good bittorrent client for ubuntu? [21:42] edqnag, is gnome not an option in the bottom bar on the logon screen?

I have set up my two monitors to display separate x-screens, and I have also positioned them so the mouse will not glide from one to the other. Is there a way to make my mouse jump to the other screen, so I can run an application there? If not, is it possible to remote-desktop only the secondary x-screen from my first x-screen? [21:43] He had it secured a lot. [21:43] Antisoche, so does that mean that there may be a way to get my card working? [21:43] Hacked? [21:43] Tm0, please be more specific. What problem is your friend having? What should be happening instead? [21:43] Tm0, Do you have any information about the vulnerability? [21:44] Tm0: install and run chkrootkit === mrigns is now known as meepominator [21:44] i tried transmission, but this a really bad client. it keeps disconnecting my computer from the network, and it is extremely slow in downloading. Vuze works waay better === meepominator is now known as AntORG_linkinus [21:44] Diverdude, Azureus is Vuze. Actually Azureus is the original name. [21:44] guntbert, thanks for trying good night [21:44] Diverdude, i think its awesome and plays nice with my phone. try a few see which you like [21:44] LogicalDash, i know [21:44] SealedWithAKiss, I expect so. I think I had an ATI on a 64-bit laptop and it just worked. But let's get to that later... [21:44] ubuntu 9.10 newly installed clean [21:44] His passwords changed. All logs deleted. All server files gone. No other software was installed. No apache mods. No php files. Just static HTML [21:45] Diverdude, well if you like Vuze then just install Azureus in Ubuntu. [21:45] ActionParsnip can i switch to gnome while im in kde? [21:45] Antisoche: hmm... this is a simple non-persistant edit that he can impliment at boot to his latest installed kernel [21:45] Also default settings are gone [21:45] never hurts to try [21:45] SealedWithAKiss, Here's what's in my /boot/grub/menu.lst file for loading Windows: http://www.pastebin.com/d50352eca [21:45] Unless it's actually changed its name here, too, and ubottu hasn't been changed to fit. [21:45] i get all the usual messges from mplayer & vlc [21:45] ActionParsnip, i just dont understand why transmission keeps disconnecting me when wuze works just fine [21:45] transmission works fine for me Diverdude [21:45] grumbly, SealedWithAKiss: ok. As I said, I didn't look :) [21:45] Antisoche, I have GRUB2 which isn't supposed to be edited right?

[21:46] bjhaid, sudo cp src dst [21:46] Anyone? [21:46] what's the easy way to network bridge in ubuntu [21:46] Do I need to reboot, for the system to recognize changes in asound.conf? [21:46] SealedWithAKiss, I don't know about GRUB2... The settings I posted might give you the jist of it. It should be discoverable, based on comments, etc. [21:46] Tm_T, i gave a suggestion [21:46] all other aspects are great and perform well [21:46] Diverdude I have tried sudo command still not working [21:47] Tm0, we don't understand the problem you are having. Try again. [21:47] tm0: i gave a suggestion [21:47] Antisoche, I'm sure that grub.cfg isn't meant to be edited. [21:47] bjhaid, what error do you get? [21:47] Tm_T, wrong target, sorry dude [21:47] paradoxuncreated: try "sudo service alsa-utils restart" first [21:47] SealedWithAKiss: can you help me satisfy my curiosity- and maybe fix the problem with kernel panic--- Reboot and enter the grub menu... Edit the 1st entry and on the kernel line add nopat at the end [21:47] ActionParsnip and if that does not what else can? [21:47] Tm0: If you have no log files then theres really not much people can do to help [21:47] paradoxuncreated: or alsasound restart [21:47] SealedWithAKiss: dont remove anything- just tack that on at the end of the line. [21:47] grumbly, I'll add nopat for you. I'll be back in a moment. [21:47] Diverdude I am on windows right now but it came up with cannot find E: [21:47] VCoolio: great, praised be. [21:47] yay!

I simply get a blank screen and a blinking cursor. The system boots into recovery mode fine, however. [21:48] bjhaid, did you mount the drive?

[21:48] ActionParsnip ok thanks ill try [21:48] Us there any ways to recover the logs? [21:48] bjhaid, you have to mount drives in linux you knows [21:48] Diverdude, I did not [21:48] is there way to get this command - patch -p0 < patch-file-name-here - to run automatically in karmic on the path /usr/src/ and as root? [21:48] bjhaid, so that is you problem === Mowee is now known as Mowee`Bnc [21:49] Antisoche: if this works, you buy me a pair of asian twins. [21:49] bjhaid, if you want to make it easier start with writing sudo -I, that way you dont have to write sudo all the time [21:49] Pirate_Hunter, when is it to automatically run? at logon? [21:49] Tm0: Possibly, I don't know the specific scenario. I suggest you recover your stuff from backup and reinstall from scratch - safest bet [21:49] ActionParsnip, after logon [21:50] bjhaid, furthermore, you might wanna try virtualbox for windows [21:50] ActionParsnip, samething > at logon or once the system boots [21:50] ok, i just went through a long period of no connection :( i hope i didn't lose my place in line [21:51] grumbly, A friend of mine just returned from a trip to japan. I told him to bring back lots of asians. I'll certainly send you a couple if he fulfilled the end of his bargain. [21:51] er, his end of the bargain :) [21:51] Hooray! Feast!

[21:53] grumbly, why does that work and does it actually fix the problem with my card? [21:53] SealedWithAKiss: HOLY BOTTLE OF MORPHINE!!!! [21:53] I guess that will be the answer [21:53] hooray! [21:53] ActionParsnip, so I just have to add it to that file as it is and it should run as root as well? [21:53] grumbly, dammit you're not getting any of my asians!

[22:00] oh well [22:00] i had my boot partition on /dev/sda, but i deleted the partition (leaving an unused 100MB at the beginning of the disk) and installed a fresh ubuntu 9.10 on /dev/sda2 as the root partition. now grub won't boot, halts with error 22 [22:00] Antisoche, nahh not yet. [22:00] Hi all [22:00] !hi | adry [22:00] adry: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [22:00] Troggie, Antisoche: that does not fix it [22:00] Troggie, Antisoche: I thought apt-get install would put the conf files back in /etc.... I guessed wrong [22:01] grumbly, GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nopat" [22:01] hi! is there a way to configure gnome in order to get the windows7's effect for working windwos (half left, half right or fullscreen) ? [22:01] ? [22:01] rblst: If you've led a VERY clean life, recreating the partition without formatting it might restore it. [22:01] SealedWithAKiss: after you're done, enter a terminal window (alt-F2 and type gnome-terminal) [22:01] ActionPersnip any other idea what can i do? === aybabtu is now known as Guest98013 [22:01] SealedWithAKiss: at the prompt, type sudo update-grub2 [22:02] Can one install locally on Ubuntu without an internet connection? [22:02] can anyone help with vsftpd [22:02] dj_segfault: which partition? [22:02] benoit__, I didn't think it would. :( 1 sec... [22:02] What do you need to know, hydrid? [22:02] benoit__, How technical are you? [22:02] bj0rn2, as in install ubuntu onto a machine with no internet connection, or install software on an ubuntu machine with no internet connection? [22:03] edqnag, install ubuntu-desktop it will then be an option [22:03] benoit__, In /var/cache/apt/archives is the .deb for postgres. You can expand it and pull out the conf files manually. [22:03] bj0rn2, sorry - wrong person [22:03] my question is if a boot partition is necessary or not, and if not, can i boot form a partition thatis not atthe beginning of the disk? [22:03] bjhaid, as in install ubuntu onto a machine with no internet connection, or install software on an ubuntu machine with no internet connection? === FeiRuoWa is now known as zz_FeiRuoWa [22:03] SealedWithAKiss: you did that yet? [22:03] Can someone help me out? I've tried the livecd and alternate versions of 9.10 64-bit and I can't get past the language selection. [22:03] elliotjhug install software on an ubuntu machine with no internet connection [22:03] ActionPersnip i tryed that but i cannot connect to internet on kde desktop [22:03] benoit__, The alternative is to first remove postgres with the --purge option, but that'll also wipe out your databases, which I doubt you want to do. [22:04] rblst, no, a dedicated partition is not necessary, and it can be anywhere. [22:04] grumbly, I'm done. [22:04] bjhaid, I normally use packages.ubuntu.com and transfer the files using USB stick - double click the files to install [22:04] ActionPersnip any idea how to set up internet on it,im using wifi [22:04] SealedWithAKiss: including the update-grub cmd? [22:04] grumbly, yupp. [22:04] edqnag, thats fine, use the install media as a repo and install from there [22:04] k [22:04] SealedWithAKiss: now, lets see if we can get your vista going- [22:04] Red_HamsterX: hmm, thanks, so why do i get an error 22 from grub? [22:05] SealedWithAKiss: stay in terminal- type sudo nano /etc/grub.d/11_Windows [22:05] elliotjhug, i have internet on my windows but I want to install asterisk server, and really having problems with the installation [22:05] grumbly, now..? [22:05] bjhaid, why don't you have internet on your ubuntu machine? [22:06] how can i reboot in terminal? [22:06] bjhaid, I'm afraid asterisk is quite complicated to me as I don't have much experience with it - so I can't really help [22:06] grumbly, now what I mean? [22:06] rblst, that's likely because your Master Boot Record (MBR) points at the old partition, which no longer matches what should be there. [22:06] Diverdude my modem is not compatible with linux [22:06] rblst, what version of Ubuntu were you using with the old partition? [22:06] Gangrel: sudo reboot? [22:06] Gangrel: sudo reboot now; or sudo shutdown -r now [22:06] When installing ubuntu with different partitions containing different filesystems would that create complication on upgrade specially when trying to change from ext3 to ext4? [22:06] Hi i would have some help as new user on Ubuntu please === wgrant_ is now known as wgrant [22:07] !ask | ardy [22:07] Red_HamsterX: i was using 9.04 and it is now 9.10 [22:07] ardy: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [22:07] SealedWithAKiss: 1st line: #! /bin/sh -e [22:07] Don't go joking with my name NewWorld [22:07] Adry, just ask :) [22:07] :P [22:07] Adry: ask your question [22:07] Red_HamsterX: it is likely that mbr points to the old partition [22:07] Diverdude, wondering if I could install wine locally then I could use my windows software on my ubuntu machine, probrably my internet modem [22:07] grumbly, done. [22:07] i mean when it is rebooted, i wanna run fsck [22:07] I would want so know what could i do on Unbuntu that i can't do on windows, in Hacking et security SI ways [22:07] SealedWithAKiss: 2nd line: echo "Add Windows" >&2 [22:07] Red_HamsterX: how to install grub to mbr? [22:07] rblst, Ubuntu has switched to Grub2. You may be dealing with multiple problems here. [22:07] bjhaid: firstly there's #asterisk and secondly, if this is a dedicated asterix box try trixbox (it's yucky centos based distro) but helps a lot with the install. [22:07] grumbly, what's with the she-bang line? [22:07] bjhaid, make sure you check the appdb to check the app is compatible [22:07] SealedWithAKiss: 3rd: cat << EOF [22:08] SealedWithAKiss: lets get thru the script and I'll explain what I can [22:08] after [22:08] pokui I am having problems joining #asterisk channel [22:08] bjhaid, aha...okay...you can try that...dont know if it will work [22:08] grumbly, done. [22:08] Red_HamsterX: doesn't sound so good; i want to ditch the old boot partition, because it is too small [22:08] bjhaid: just tired and it worked. is your nic registered? [22:08] Diverdue, try what? [22:08] SealedWithAKiss: 4th line: menuentry "Windows" { [22:09] Red_HamsterX: can you point me to the right direction? [22:09] grumbly, you following 'http://erickoo.wordpress.com/2009/06/14/how-to-add-vista-partition-to-grub-2-ubuntu-9-10-karmic-koala/' ? [22:09] rblst, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows seems relevant to your situation. [22:09] grumbly, uh huh...... [22:09] SealedWithAKiss: 5th line: set root=("YOUR HARD DISK AND PARTITION WITH WINDOWS") [22:09] Red_HamsterX: i'll check it out, thanks [22:09] ws wondering I have ekgia install on ubuntu . now with that said can you use it to call a skype user [22:09] Antisoche: yeh... [22:09] bjhaid, installing your modem on wine [22:09] Is it possible to disable search suggestions in the linux version of google chrome? [22:10] grumbly, yuppp. [22:10] T3rm1l1nux: go to skype.com and get the skype app for linux [22:10] grumbly, "... the hard way". [22:10] Diverdude, do not know how to get wine installed or working on ubuntu? [22:10] grumbly, so actually that's like ("0,7") not /dev/sda7 right? [22:10] SealedWithAKiss: can you paste what you wrote for the 5th line? [22:10] Adry: please ask your question in the channel so that others can help / benefit [22:10] Diverdude, I am really new to linux [22:10] SealedWithAKiss: it'd be (hd0,7) if that's where it is. [22:10] SealedWithAKiss, 'set root=(hd0,1)' [22:11] Antisoche: prefer it to be the long way- [22:11] SealedWithAKiss, the Windows partition [22:11] grumbly, I'm done. [22:11] SealedWithAKiss: paste your 5th line here- [22:11] bjhaid, http://www.winehq.org/download/deb [22:11] lemme see [22:11] SealedWithAKiss: if it's wrong, it won't work [22:12] GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nopat" [22:12] pokui, I know that I was just wondering [22:12] Shit sorry. [22:12] SealedWithAKiss: hah... it's ok [22:12] Diverdude been there before, but do not think I can download on windows and install locally on Ubuntu [22:12] SealedWithAKiss: 6th line : chainloader +1 [22:13] SealedWithAKiss: 7th: } [22:13] SealedWithAKiss: 8th: EOF [22:13] Diverdude says protocol apt is not associated with any of its programs [22:13] bjhaid, just download the source and compile it then http://sourceforge.net/projects/wine/files/Source/ [22:14] SealedWithAKiss: you still here? [22:14] bjhaid, that is a tar file [22:14] grumbly, I'm done now. I am having trouble pasting because my mouse is broken and I'm using mouse keys to control the cursor. [22:14] bjhaid, you untar it, and write make === Guest88903 is now known as ned [22:14] grumbly, set root=(hd0,7) [22:14] then the MakeFile is invoked, and it should compile wine on ubuntu for you [22:14] SealedWithAKiss: copy from terminal is ctrl+shift-C [22:14] Diverdude, is there a reason why you're not downloading the .debs and using dpkg -i? [22:14] T3rm1l1nux: the skype protocol is proprietary, though skype is building sip into the mix (though that's only for calls). so for now it's not likely you'll be able to use anything else besides skype to chat with skype users [22:14] Diverdude make from the ubuntu terminal right? [22:15] grumbly, thanks. [22:15] SealedWithAKiss: Is your windows installation on /dev/sda7? [22:15] bjhaid, yep [22:15] grumbly, sorry I'm screwing this up. It's on sda1 I'll change it. [22:15] save the tar to your usb stick and transfer it [22:15] When installing ubuntu with different partitions containing different filesystems would that create complication on upgrade specially when trying to change from ext3 to ext4? [22:15] Red_HamsterX, that could also be a solution i guess....just post the location for the .debs [22:16] Diverdude, packagess.ubuntu.com [22:16] -s [22:16] Pirate_Hunter, not at all, the kernel handles it all nicely [22:16] Red_HamsterX, many roads lead the same way :) [22:16] grumbly, done now. Set root=(hd0,1) [22:16] Diverdude, okay thanks, I would try to get that done are you always on this channel everyday? [22:16] Red_HamsterX, dont tell me, tell bjhaid [22:16] SealedWithAKiss: "Set" or "set"? [22:16] grumbly, lower case. [22:16] Diverdude, I'm telling you because you're helping bjhaid and understand more about his situation. === bigcock is now known as jpizzle [22:17] SealedWithAKiss: OK! did you type the 6, 7, and 8 that I posted? [22:17] how is radeon 5xxx support in wine? [22:17] grumbly, yuppp. [22:17] bjhaid, not always. But this is really basic stuff, so everybody in here can help you out [22:17] jpizzle, you sort the support out in ubuntu, wine just uses what is available in the system [22:17] SealedWithAKiss: Good. Save and exit... then type sudo chmod a+x /etc/grub.d/11_Windows [22:17] bjhaid, :) [22:18] where should I /join actionparsnip [22:18] jpizzle, check the compatibility for the app in the appdb [22:18] Diverdude, bjhaid, http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/wine [22:18] Diverdude thanks, I cannot get it done now, since I have to migrate to ubuntu, but would get it done tommorow and would come here if i got problems [22:18] wine's? [22:18] grumbly, how do I save and exit? [22:18] !appdb | jpizzle [22:18] jpizzle: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [22:18] the worst ftp is vsftpd ! [22:19] grrrr can t make it work with nothing [22:19] SealedWithAKiss: ctrl-x, then hit y [22:19] bjhaid, as Red_HamsterX mentioned you can also download the package from http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/wine [22:19] Yeah I got it. [22:19] grumbly, [22:19] bjhaid, Diverdude, you can download .debs from there (pay attention to the dependencies) and install them using 'dpkg -i '. It's a cleaner solution, and much the same thing that apt-get instal would do automatically. [22:19] bjhaid, then you can install it with the packet manager [22:19] ActionParsnip, ahhh excellent no worries now, well back to designing this server this is becoming more troublesome than what I expected [22:19] SealedWithAKiss: in terminal, generally ^ means ctrl+a key [22:19] SealedWithAKiss: ok- so type sudo update-grub2 when you've done that [22:19] grumbly, oh okay I see. I have chmodded it. [22:20] bjhaid, that might be a better solution [22:20] Diverdude: packet? package. [22:20] hydrid, redhat use vstfpd [22:20] Hi, I'm having trouble connecting to a WPA wireless network using Karmic Koala on an Eepc [22:20] bjhaid, Diverdude, the main advantage to this, aside from also needing a compiler chain and other such things, is that it makes installation and removal easy. [22:20] hydrid: i use vsftpd and it works fine :) [22:20] hydrid, its fine to not like it though, there are lots of alternatives [22:20] Red_HamsterX, true [22:20] grumbly, it says that the Windows entry is not found. [22:20] /etc/grub.d/11_Windows: not found [22:21] anyone home yet?? [22:21] you saved the file? [22:21] SealedWithAKiss: [22:21] need help with wireless in xubuntu 9.10 [22:21] War^Pigs,been home the last 3 days [22:21] anyone can tell me how to fix "usb_id[431]: unable ... " that i get on reboot? [22:21] grumbly, I hit Y to save. [22:21] playback of audio and video runs only with occasional skipping for some time, then makes funny souds as it rapid forwards to the end. Everything worked normal before. What could it be? [22:21] blakkheim: send me pls your vsftpd [22:22] hydrid: man vsftpd.conf [22:22] hello, how can i prevent users from vieing and entering other users folders? [22:22] #esblender [22:22] grumbly, I checked and it does exist. I saved it correctly. [22:22] War^Pigs, not all nics can connect to wpa [22:22] SealedWithAKiss: can you do sudo ls /etc/grub.d/ [22:22] !fix [22:22] SealedWithAKiss: weird [22:23] blakkheim: i dont need "clever" answers i need help.the man didnt help me.it confuses the things [22:23] SealedWithAKiss: you did this all from sudo, yes? [22:23] hydrid: if you can't understand a man page, i don't think you should be running an ftp server. you might end up misconfiguring it and exposing your whole system. [22:23] grumbly, yeah. [22:24] SealedWithAKiss: try sudo update-grub [22:24] hydrid: how do you think i learned to set it up? i read the man page. [22:24] is it possible to view pdf files in google chrome === Mowee`Bnc is now known as Mowee [22:25] hydrid, sarcastic though it may be, I have to agree with blakkheim. Running a low-security server (or any server at all) should be done only once you're sure you fully understand how it works and what it does. [22:25] can anyone tell me how to change the way the Taskbar appears in ubuntu [22:25] oLaa [22:25] Sledge, what are you trying to change about it? [22:25] k taL?

The booting is slow. Other things like sound are also broken.

[22:29] Sledge, while I can say that the dock is pretty intuitively designed, it does take some getting used to. [22:29] ori_, What MP3 player are you using? Is it detected by Ubuntu?

Seems to be different to what you told me to write. === d is now known as Guest79317 [22:30] Sledge, are you talking about the thing that's usually at the bottom of the screen, with giant icons, and that makes icons bigger when the cursor is on top of them?

[22:40] sixofour: it changes symlinks in /etc/alternatives, directory for default programs; perhaps theres some link for 'default file manager' which you can link to dolphin... so, that was just a spontaneous idea, don't know it works [22:41] edqnag: Okay you have to find an executable file called 'networkmanager'. Commands: 'sudo updatedb' 'locate networkmanager'. Then 'gksudo [path to networkmanager] start'. Else do the same but instead of 'networkmanager' replace with 'nm-applet'. [22:41] hm how do i show someone grub wiki entry with ubottu [22:41] SealedWithAKiss, Can you pastebin your /boot/grub/grub.cfg? [22:41] grumbly, it's not saying can't open exec tail.

For a complete list of channels in other languages, please visit http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat [22:50] that's cultural bias i guess [22:50] would /srv require a separate partition specially on a busy webserver/ftp server?

[22:51] *windows [22:51] I've never understood forcing people to write a particular language [22:51] Sonja, its just that if you have one channel full of different languages you get difficulties and nobody gets help - if you have separate channels then no trouble [22:51] if you don't understand you can just ignore it [22:51] is there xen kernel for 9.10 (karmic) [22:51] guess it clutters up things a bit [22:51] Jfuzi, if we ignore it, they'll think we're ignoring them. [22:51] elliotjhug: it didn't work [22:52] elliotjhug: maybe i did something wrong [22:52] Jfuzi: this channel is busy enough with one language, and it means those users get frustrated when they dont get answered. and there are channels in each language so [22:52] Red_HamsterX, you have a point [22:52] Jfuzi: this channel is seen as to fast-scrolling anyways.

[23:04] elliotjhug: yeah [23:04] I am trying to get xen kernel for 9.10 (karmic)... but there seems to be no package for the kernel... do I just use the server kernel? [23:04] elliotjhug: openit? [23:04] how do i list which frequencies my processor supports? [23:05] ori, easiest is to right-click 'Extract Here' [23:05] elliotjhug: ok, it says m300a.bin [23:05] |rt|: /etc/environment but are you sure you need to? Why do you want to? [23:05] the cpu frequency monitor knows from somewhere to do scaling.

I'm using the keyboard to move the cursor. [23:07] SealedWithAKiss, It should have sent the error to the patebinit command, which should have pastebined the error and given you a link. [23:07] I am wanting to do a Graphical Grub. I followed the read only on this page. http://grub.gibibit.com/Journal Now what do I do? [23:07] ori, did the device update its firmware? (it should have taken a while to start up properly - if not turn it on and off again) [23:07] after i installed the video drivers, on boot up kde flickers a few times and freezes on startup.. but the mouse still moves and i switch to different screens, what is wrong? [23:07] Jordan_U, ohh I see. I didn't do the pastbinit part. [23:07] Red_HamsterX: i have libwnck22, this theme calls for 1.0 [23:07] ori, don't plug it into your computer just yet [23:08] elliotjhug: i dunno [23:08] elliotjhug: lol, so unplug? it refreshed [23:08] elliotjhug: and then i plugged it back in [23:08] Any help? [23:08] ori, I don't know how your device works, but according to the site you can check the firmware version under 'Settings > System Info' === Guest96660 is now known as trineox [23:08] <|rt|> thanks jrib [23:08] ori, if you check that and write it in here we'll confirm that its updated [23:09] parkerlreed, As stated on that page there are pre-made packages in Debian experimental and felix's ppa that can be used in Ubuntu [23:09] elliotjhug: so do the 'hold' thing? [23:09] How do I get those? [23:09] Jordan_U, http://pastebin.com/f157ebd41 [23:09] PAckage manager [23:09] ori, no - just use it like you would if you were listening to music on it - no need to plug it in [23:09] abel: please prepend my name instead of sending private message. I'm afraid I don't understand "two to come"? "fall fall"? [23:09] ori, then look in the settings menu on the device [23:10] elliotjhug: gotcha [23:10] ori, and then take a look at System Info [23:10] elliotjhug: version v02.01.16 [23:11] ori, tssk - that means the firmware we just downloaded is pretty old - give me a moment to think again [23:11] AH I found it.. /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies [23:11] would /srv require a separate partition specially on a busy webserver/ftp server? [23:11] I remeber that grub gave me options when I updated. How do I get back to those? [23:11] ori, (your device hasn't been modified) [23:12] brb [23:12] elliotjhug: maybe i made a mistake [23:12] Hey, I have a strange problem: the RAM used keeps growing (I am at like 1.1G now) but when I use System Monitor or top the compounded RAM usage is much less, around 370MB. I don't understand what programm is using the memory.. Any help/idea? [23:12] I am trying to get xen kernel for 9.10 (karmic)... but there seems to be no package for the kernel... do I just use the server kernel? what do I do with the /boot/xen-3.3 binary? [23:12] How do I get to Grub options in Ubuntu? [23:12] ori, no - its my fault, followed some outdated instructions without checking - can you follow the same process with this file instead: http://mp3support.sandisk.com/firmware/clip/clip02.01.32.zip [23:13] SealedWithAKiss, Ok, best thing to do would be to find a windows install CD, failing that, can you be on IRC on a different computer while this one is in grub ( if so it'll be faster than rebooting every time you need to try something else ) [23:13] ? [23:13] hi guys, anyone here know about grub2 AND software raid? is it possible, because I don't believe it is. [23:13] elliotjhug: and do the same thing...? including deletingthe older file... [23:13] iks: ram gets used as disk cache to improve speed, unused ram is wasted ram [23:13] jpapertowel, It is [23:13] parkerlreed, /boot/grub/menu.lst [23:14] ActionParsnip, [23:14] ori, yup - delete the older file from the device, and transfer the unzipped firmware file - then disconnect, let it restart, then tell me the firmware ver [23:14] ActionParsnip, I'm not taking the cache into account here [23:14] only "memory used by programs" [23:14] parkerlreed, Hold shift at boot to see the menu [23:14] elliotjhug: without actually upluggingright? [23:14] abel: if you would rather have support in you language there are local channels available.. what language? [23:14] ActionParsnip, ie 38% of 3GB [23:14] ori, don't unplug until the file is transferrred - THEN unplug it [23:14] hi guys, anyone here know about grub2 AND software raid? is it possible, because Jordan_U says it is and no one wants to tell me how [23:15] Jordan_U, I only have a single machine. I don't have a Vista CD either, just a Windows 7 CD I think... [23:15] iks: then in top the largest ram consumer will be at the top [23:15] I'm not wanting to change the list items, I want to get back to the screen that let me download the other versions or experimental versions. [23:15] ori, I'll be afk for 30secs one mo [23:15] elliotjhug: ok, it says firmware upgrade in progress... upgradecomplete [23:15] Helllooooo...... my server file system has suddenly made mention it is "read only". How do I check if it is read only? [23:15] jpapertowel, you can use grub1 still if you like [23:15] ActionParsnip, Xorg, with a whopping 2.2% [23:15] ori, great :) thats what we wanted to happen [23:15] jpapertowel: I am using it.. but I didn't need to set it up.. I used the alt. disk to install. [23:15] jpapertowel, As long as you are using mdraid metadata format <= .09 you should be able to just use "grub-install /dev/md0" [23:15] DrDamnit, run: mount [23:16] ori now try plugging it in [23:16] ActionParsnip, it doesn't seem to add up at all [23:16] ori without the 'hold' [23:16] jpapertowel, s/0.09/0.9/ [23:16] elliotjhug: hahaha u did it! [23:16] ActionParsnip, also, no memory seems to be freed when I close a program [23:16] Jordan_U: error: no mapping exists for `md0' [23:16] iks: is the system slow? [23:17] Any help? [23:17] ActionParsnip, now it is not but before I just rebooted I had ~90% memory used and it was damn slow [23:17] everything appears to be rw. But when changing permissions of my php.ini file, I got: root@backup01:/etc/php5/apache2# chmod +w php.ini [23:17] chmod: changing permissions of `php.ini': Read-only file system [23:17] ori, working properly? awesome, if its detected as a usb stick do the steps described here: http://forums.sandisk.com/sansa/board/message?board.id=clip&message.id=2803 otherwise rock on :) [23:17] jpapertowel, What version of grub2? ( I assume the one from karmic, 1.97 beta 4 ) [23:18] Jordan_U: 1.98~20100128-1.2 or something like that [23:18] elliotjhug: thanx for everything! === edogawa_ is now known as edogawa [23:18] ori happy to help [23:18] jpapertowel, Ok, so you are using lucid? [23:18] SealedWithAKiss, Jordan_U: I don't know what JordanU is going for, but if yout NTFS partition is really bad off, the Linux driver may not be able to recognize it. A Windows 7 CD should be able to fix a Vista partition. However, try this first: sudo file -s /dev/sda1 | pastebinit [23:19] Jordan_U: no, i'm using debian sid but I figured I could leech off your support channel because debian's support channel doesn't know anything about grub2 and software raid [23:19] !debian | jpapertowel [23:19] jpapertowel: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! [23:19] hola a todos [23:19] msttcorefonts should fix the font appearance in firefox, but when I try to install them I get: "Note, selecting ttf-mscorefonts-installer instead of msttcorefonts ttf-mscorefonts-installer is already the newest version" [23:20] jpapertowel, You shouldn't ask in #ubuntu, you should ask in #grub [23:20] How do I get back to the screen that let me download the other versions or experimental versions of grub. [23:20] ? [23:20] What does this mean? /dev/mapper/backup01-root on / type ext3 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro) [23:20] Jordan_U: it's been liek a week since the last /say happened on #grub lmao [23:20] Antisoche, Jordan_U, http://pastebin.com/f4562d71a [23:20] Bye [23:21] jpapertowel, No, it was 20 minutes ago. [23:21] DrDamnit, means /dev/mapper/backup01-root is the b lock device holding your OS [23:21] just installed karmic but the sound is not working.. can someone help? [23:22] neil_d, run: sudo lshw -C sound; lspci | grep -i audio will tell you what it is, you can websearch for guides [23:23] neil_d, also make sure you have the volume turned up from upper right corner, by default it is set to zero [23:23] SealedWithAKiss, Jordan_U: I'm leaving; I'd recommend trying to recover the partition from your Windows disk, but Jordan probably has lots of GRUB2 magic I'm not familiar with. Good luck. [23:24] where is my xorg.config at in 9.10? [23:24] Antisoche, thanks a lot for all of uout hrlp. [23:24] Jfuzi: it is.. [23:24] Sno0py_, karmic doesnt ship with one, if you make one it will be usd [23:24] your help! [23:24] Jfuzi: ActionParsnip: but the sound was working before I upgraded. [23:25] neil_d, then you need the device setting up in the new release dont you [23:25] my mic is realy low (skype and audacity). alsamixser is all high. it's logitech AK5370 and used to work.. any clues? [23:26] ActionParsnip: yes! The 'output' section of the sound preferences is only listing a "Dummy Output" choose.. [23:26] ttf-mscorefonts installing in carmic, any help? tried googling but can't find the solution [23:26] Hi, I just reinstalled windows 7 to a different partition, how can I make the os-prober (which already found win7) to write the neccessary things into grub.cfg? [23:27] hunt: sudo update-grub should do that. [23:27] Jfuzi: try sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer === don is now known as Guest17134 [23:27] nm, found it( I think) [23:28] Hi, I have searched the forums but cannot find an answer. My phone has quiet ringtones and bluetooth. My computer has loud speakers and bluetooth. Is there anyway to run an action or script on my PC when my phone rings? If, what should I install and/or do to make it happen? [23:29] I get: "ttf-mscorefonts-installer is already the newest version." [23:29] and nothing happens [23:29] does this mean they are already installed? they don't show up in the fonts list [23:29] Jfuzi, sudo apt-get --reinstall install ttf-mscorefonts-installer [23:29] arand: thx [23:31] hi all [23:31] ActionParsnip, now they show up, but Firefox still wont use them. Do I have to reboot or something? [23:32] Jfuzi: did you restart firefox? [23:33] Greetings! Question: v 9.10. Auto login - works fine from boot. However if I log off I expect it auto login again. It does not - I just get a login screen. Is it possible to force it to auto login always? [23:33] hunt, Yes [23:33] Jfuzi, no, this is linux, you only need to reboot for a new kernel [23:33] ah, I'm no linux guru [23:34] so used to the wicked ways of windows [23:34] FourierSeries: system-> administration->login screen [23:35] Jfuzi, you may need to configure settings in firefox, i dont use firefox myself [23:35] hunt: Did so. Activated auto logon. It works from boot. But if I log off a session it does not then auto logon. [23:35] my mic is realy low (skype and audacity). alsamixser is all high. it's logitech AK5370 and used to work.. any clues? [23:36] ActionParsnip, I'll try [23:36] Day 3 without fancontrol after updating 9.04 to 9.10. I've tried a few things like passing some acpi linux switches in the grub menu lst. Everything else seems to be documented as risky to do. [23:37] ActionParsnip, what do you use for browsing, btw? [23:37] im getting channelscount non available in aplay...... [23:37] owen1, I know little about linux yet but just to double-check, are you using mic-in or line-in? mic-in will generally have a built in preamp. [23:38] Jfuzi, chromium-browser and arora === Mowee is now known as Mowee`Bnc [23:38] private2: i use a usb mic [23:39] any ideas... [23:39] FourierSeries: I used to have this configuration, I just cant remember how I got there [23:40] private2: when i go 'Capture' section in alsamixer i see mic but i can't turn on the bar [23:40] Jfuzi, if you chat now by http-page-irc, you have to close this channel too, to restart firefox [23:42] OerHeks, I'm using XChat-GNOME [23:42] i have hardisk with sata [23:42] do i need drivers for ubuntu ? [23:42] Ok... when I drag and drop mp3's into Rhythm Box, it says "Resource not found" when I try to play my music. [23:42] what is the command used to launch the installer on the livecd? [23:43] the desktop disappeared [23:43] Jfuzi, oke, so that could not be the problem why ttfcorefonts won't apply, checked out. [23:43] join #perl [23:43] Chromium looks nice, I like the most visited thingy(Opera has something similar) [23:44] anyone to help me === rusty is now known as Guest27227 [23:44] donvito: Most of the time, no. [23:44] donvito :-) answer = no ! [23:44] donvito: They all come loaded in the kernel. [23:44] because if i install winxp i need sata drivers [23:44] donvito: you might, most drivers are already included. [23:44] Jfuzi, i just got sick of firefox being garbage with ram [23:44] okey than [23:44] midori is fast :) [23:45] I have /home mounted on sda8, and /var mounted on sda7, how can I swap them arround? [23:45] faster than chrome even [23:45] donvito: The LiveCD is the best way to test if everything is supported. [23:45] What do you mean FF is a RAM hog? It's only using 2072m here ... [23:45] donvito, yess, xp needs drivers, vista & win7 and all Linux versions have them available [23:45] seems like Firefox doesn't obey it's font settings for some reason [23:45] okey [23:45] is good ubuntu for cccam server? [23:45] excellent :) [23:45] good than [23:45] :) [23:45] they suggest me debian or ubuntu [23:46] but i think [23:46] ubuntu work [23:46] donvito: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:46] same like debian [23:46] does anyone know if KDE works well with Ubunto Studio? [23:46] what I really bugs me about the firefox fonts is that they are kerned all wrong [23:46] Sprocket, should do. I'd ask in #kubuntu [23:46] -I [23:46] owen1, have you looked at http://swiss.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8252657&postcount=2 otherwise, perhaps the more useful members here can help. [23:46] does anyone know if KDE works well with Ubuntu Studio? [23:47] I've lost an item with my username in the top panel! [23:47] !repeat | Sprocket [23:47] how can I get it back? [23:47] Sprocket: 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. === chetnick is now known as ultraz [23:47] Sprocket: try it? === ultraz is now known as chetnick [23:48] is it possible to install Kubuntu alongside (or from within) Ubuntu from the Kubuntu alternative CD or ISO? [23:49] zetheroo, apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [23:49] Any suggestions on where to look for using a bluetooth-connected phone ringing to make my computer do something? [23:49] Antisoche: yes i know ... but I want to use the CD as the source ... CD or ISO [23:49] Will KDE work well with Ubuntu Studio? [23:50] zetheroo, man sources.list [...] [23:50] Sprocket, yes most likely but if you ask in #kubuntu they all use kde so will most likely be able to tell you, its most likely users in here use gnome [23:50] zetheroo, Sorry, there's probably a GUI too to add a CD, but I don't know what it would be as I don't use gnome. [23:51] Antisoche: so you can add the alternative CD or ISO as a source? [23:51] zetheroo, You probably can't use the ISO directly, but you can mount the iso as a CD: mont -o loop -t iso9660 /mntpoint [23:51] zetheroo, you can add the desktop cd as a repo [23:51] i am having an issue. i can't view edit or delete a file on smb. Though permissions look fine [23:52] the error i get is "Device or resource busy" [23:52] ActionParsnip: really? I was told that I could not ... :P ... cool [23:52] so i'm curious about sound volume. ubuntu lets me set it as high as 150% but won't go over 100% using my volume knob. 100% is too quiet on laptop speakers. is there a way to set it to go to 150% using the knob? [23:52] zetheroo, one can install ActionParsnip, there is no #kubuntu+1, if one tries to join it we kde users are directed here [23:52] got the 3d cube desktop and trying to figure out how to add a second desktop???
