But some may need extra tweaking [01:11] Kugelschreiber: dd it | [01:11] !clone [01:11] 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 [01:11] Now that's a good way to learn! [01:11] theres also partimage fsarchiver, and other more full featured backup tools [01:12] Kugelschreiber: for changing filesystem, do NOT use dd or any other image-copy tools [01:12] How can I keep pidgin from showing messages in the notify window until I click it? Pidgin is setup to hide messages and only show in systray, ut is there an ubuntu setting i need to change? [01:12] Kugelschreiber: as Nitsuga pointed out, do not do it while 'a' is mounted [01:13] Typos_King: why? there is nothing wrong in copying [01:13] there's no way to copy my ubuntu installation with my installed ubuntu? [01:13] Kugelschreiber: you can safely copy your data [01:13] Kugelschreiber: yes theres proberly ways. Thers proberly guides on how to do it and what pitfalls to avoide also. [01:13] enkidu: isn't it? ..... maybe I missed his purpose [01:14] just dont copy /proc /sys and /dev [01:14] Special system dirs can cause issues like enkidu says. then thers various cache files that proberly dont need copied either [01:14] i want to transfer ubuntu to another partition, so i must copy /proc /sys and /dev, right? [01:14] Kugelschreiber: those are special dirs handled in spefial ways [01:14] cache files can be copied, its just bloating process [01:15] any help with that? please anyone with the error: This usually means that another package management application (like apt-get or aptitude) is already running. Please close that application first. [01:15] Kugelschreiber: /proc /sys and /dev are recreated every bootup, so do not copy them [01:15] http://www.google.com/search?q=clone+ubuntu+install -- First hit looks good.. [01:15] E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) [01:15] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [01:15] this error comes up when i try to install something through terminal [01:16] Dr_Willis: but it is not simple DD cloning, its filesystem change I see [01:16] datta: check your processes, more likely there's anotehr frontend using the same app, and the lock file won't allow two [01:16] yep thers simple with dd.. and tweaks.. or using more powerfiull tools... [01:16] Typos_King: what type of name should it be? [01:16] Dr_Willis: I said about thing, Kugelschreiber is going to do [01:17] enkidu, my new partition has the same filesystem than my partition in which ubuntu is installed [01:17] partimage or fsarchiver are also decent tools to use from what i hear. I rarely 'clone' a installed system to a different hd. [01:17] hope correct english :P [01:17] Kugelschreiber: now you say that? [01:17] datta: .... ah..... can't say.... offhand what I can think of, is some apt-get frontend.... try installing 'qps' which is a visual process manager, and shows more than 'top' does [01:17] you can safely dump image between disks [01:17] You can clone at the 'filesystem' level. or at the 'drive image' level :) each has pros and cons [01:18] Typos_King, okay [01:18] hummmm just when i get karmic running how i want, with all my extras and a really slick theme and everything going spiffy... i decide i'd rather run arch. [01:18] Typos_King: the problem is i cant install anything [01:19] militant: sorry no refunds. :P [01:19] datta: .... can you provide a paste of the 'top' list? [01:19] I seemed to have disabled the nVidia driver somehow - can anyone help me work through it? Thank you. [01:19] or some other gui process listing [01:20] Dr_Willis: screw that, i want my money back! i actually love ubuntu though [01:20] richard123: how do you know is disabled? [01:20] Typos_King, here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/381287/ [01:20] this is as far as i could go [01:21] I am thinking of installing 10.4 since I need that otherwise my new laptop won't work with ubuntu. But it's alpha, what's the process for going from alpha to stable? [01:21] funkycat90210: apt-get update, apt-get upgrade.... [01:21] funkycat90210: alpha === 'will eat your hamster' [01:21] funkycat90210: same as regular updates.. [01:21] Dr_Willis, nice [01:21] typos king: Invidia x server settings says so: also when I boot i get a message I am in low graphics mode. [01:21] enkidu, it coudlnt be worse than windows 7 === jasonjang is now known as JasonJang-trip [01:21] datta: nothing conflicting there :| [01:21] funkycat90210: thers about 200+mb of updates every day on 10.04 from what ive been seeing [01:22] Typos_King, i have no idea what the problem is [01:22] funkycat90210, and it WILL be worse than Windows 7 [01:22] funkycat90210: i think the next release/milestone is in a few days. [01:22] hmm i might just run ubuntu 9.10 from vmware in windows if it's that bad. I really dislike windows, I just got a "that program is being used by something else!" despite no other programs running [01:22] MS gave you a almos-done copy of its OS [01:23] !lucid [01:23] 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 [01:23] you are about to use a not-already-finished os [01:23] ive had no major issues on 10.04 on my netbook.. yet. :) But you are warned [01:23] wth is a lynx [01:23] * ejv googles [01:23] does anyone know what gvfs-fuse-daemon can do? i shows me that the waiting channel is futex-wait [01:23] futex_wait [01:23] ejv: a wildcat with a short tail and tuffs on the ears [01:23] it donesn''t have everything is planned to 10.04 and may give troble anytime [01:23] ejv: its funky text-based-browser [01:23] Dr_Willis, sounds like a better experience than my 2 hours of windows 7 experience [01:24] developed and used by VI Church members [01:24] http://animals.nationalgeographic.com/staticfiles/NGS/Shared/StaticFiles/animals/images/primary/lynx-baby.jpg <--- AWWWW :D [01:24] cute :D [01:24] ejv: tinyurl pls ;] irssi is breaking URLs [01:24] datta: try doing a -> sudo lsof | grep -i lock <--- to see which process may show up using it [01:24] anyone know the status of the gimpshop program? [01:24] typos_king: Invidia x server settings says so: also when I boot i get a message I am in low graphics mode. [01:24] enkidu: http://tinyurl.com/2jwgpf [01:24] hey guys... I have an intel 82801db-ich4 audo card on this system. it was working well until a day or so ago with updates...I read many reports on this card on just about evey distribution ...they reconmmended enabling proposed repo for karmic with newer kernel for this audio..but that isnt working either...there is always sound..but sometimes it is not recognized by alsamixer...also cairo dock alsa plugin gets disabled intermitently...maybe every [01:24] 15 or 20 minutes [01:25] weechat has a script that takes long url's like that and auto -tinyurls them :) [01:25] ejv: thx [01:25] coz_: use OSS4 [01:25] i do the original url's because people typically don't trust tinyurl's heheh [01:25] does ubuntu come with a repair option? [01:25] enkidu, oh? [01:25] Typos_King http://paste.ubuntu.com/381288/ this is what comes up [01:25] enkidu, let me google that :) [01:25] if you get a new laptop with the newer core i3/i5's, ubuntu will not support the integrated intel video chips, you need kernel version 2.6.32+ [01:25] coz_: its another audio driver infrastructure [01:26] richard123: you can try checking /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist file [01:26] the lynx looks like some sort of devil cat, friggin' awesome! :D [01:26] how do i get me one... [01:26] Earthen: what are you trying to repair? [01:26] Typos_king: what exactly do I do I am not a techie? [01:27] Typos_King actually the problem started when i wanted to install realplayer [01:27] friend of mine was runing ubuntu but now it's broken, when it restarts it says it cannot find the root file system [01:27] richard123: usually on that file, it has certain modules that are being blocked due to known past issues [01:27] Earthen: ouch! :( [01:27] datta: it shows synaptic is using it.... sooo [01:27] Earthen, is he using wubi? [01:27] the Windows UBuntu Installer? [01:27] ejv, Nitsuga no [01:27] quick question, is there a line for being helped? [01:28] !ask > SomeKittens [01:28] SomeKittens, please see my private message [01:28] Typos_king: where do I find the file- what is the main directory I look for? Thank you. [01:28] SomeKittens: just ask your question [01:28] Typos_King: any suggestion would be helpful and thank you for helping me this much [01:28] Nitsuga, running karmic 9.10 [01:28] Earthen, so it is installed on ins own partition [01:28] richard123: you can try checking /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist file [01:28] what is a good ftp client to use? [01:28] racerd: i like ncftp [01:28] racerd: lftp, filezilla [01:28] lftp? [01:28] racerd, you could use filezilla [01:28] Earthen, use a live-cd to see if that partition is mountable and exists [01:29] racerd: you can ftp with file browser... I like it b/c it's one window [01:29] Typos-king: what comes before /etc - where is it on the file system? [01:29] Nitsuga, yes and it and duel boot with windows and windows run's fine so the hard drive is good [01:29] Is it bad to transfer several gigs worth of files using an NSF mount, from one machine to another locally? [01:29] if it does, only he has to do is to fix the bootloader [01:29] racerd, try any firefox ftp client [01:29] datta: close synaptic completely :), close your terminal, and retry on either [01:29] Nitsuga, did that the partiton is there and mountable [01:29] purpzey, I do that everytime [01:29] in the words of stanley from the office... "did i stutter?!" [01:29] xD [01:29] ... [01:29] Typos_King: they are both closed completely [01:29] every time i try to open GNU Solfege it throws me "No module named _solfege_c_midi" [01:29] richard123: nothing hehehe, is just / :) is the root folder, or in win32 speak, is C:\ [01:30] Earthen, do you know which is its device name (/dev/xxx) [01:30] Nitsuga, from what we gathered it seems like grub cannot find the UUID [01:30] Nitsuga: It'll be tremendously slow though, right, I mean, no matter how I transfer it? [01:30] yeah i know i can use the web browser [01:30] I've got two partitions. Installed 9.04 on one, worked fine until I installed XP on another, now I can't boot to Ubuntu. I've tried Super Grub Disk, Auto Super Grub Disk, and booting several variations off of several different USB sticks. I still have not been able to install GRUB. [01:30] Typos_King: i think i should restart to fix this, okay will come back soon [01:30] Nitsuga, /dev/sda6/ [01:30] datta: try rerunning the lsof command, to see if it's still in use [01:30] purpzey, it depends of your connection [01:30] but sometimes i have problems with downloading from my coworker's ftp files [01:30] datta: don't forget to install 'qps' hehe [01:30] purpzey, if you have a Gigabit LAN it will be as fast as the hard drive [01:31] SomeKittens: use livecd, chroot to your Ubuntu drive, run grub [01:31] Nitsuga: I see. That depends on my router model? [01:31] Nitsuga, guess that's no Ubuntu repair system button in the Live cd is ther LOL [01:31] I've used liveUSB (don't have any cd's handy) [01:31] SomeKittens: doesnt matter [01:31] Earthen: linux is kind of a "repair it yourself" operating system :) [01:32] Earthen, tell him to press the "e" key in the bootloader [01:32] Typos_king: Ok, got it, there are a number of blacklist files - which one? [01:32] racerrd: all the ftp clients seem pretty much the same to me, I installed several and didn't like any (I loathe dual pane) which is why I like doing it in file browser... but it's a matter of opinion, most of them (I think) should work fine [01:32] richard123: the 'blacklist' one :) [01:32] remove de search line and change root=UUID=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx to root=/dev/sda6 === milkshakes is now known as Infamy [01:32] then press ctrl-X and it whould boot correctly [01:33] Typos_King: well still the problem persists [01:33] no GUI, just limited terminal. 9.04, 9.10 same problem wither I use Pen Drive Linux's or UNetbootin [01:33] SomeKittens: what's wrong with that? [01:33] purpzey, your router and your ethernet card [01:33] datta: did you relog back in or rebooted? [01:33] Nitsuga, tried that and I tried changed "root=/dev/sda6" but no work [01:33] Typos_king: there are 5 blacklist- files? [01:33] Nitsuga: Ah I see. Should avoid using nautilis to transfer the files..e.g. should I use cp from CLI? or it doesn't matter? [01:33] I have no clue what to do from there... The Wiki didn't help [01:33] Earthen, did you remove the "search" line? [01:33] Typos_King: rebooted and logged back in [01:33] richard123: yes, and there's 1 blacklist one [01:34] all i have to do in etc/fstab is changing uuid=oldpartition to uuid=newpartition right? (want 2 "transfer" ubuntu to another partition, see above) [01:34] purpzey, it doesn't matter [01:34] Nitsuga, no i didn't [01:34] Typos_King: weird problem i would say which i had never faced [01:34] just copy like if it was any file [01:34] datta: same trouble... with the lock? [01:34] Nitsuga: Ok, thanks. [01:34] Typos_King: yes [01:34] Good evening. I'm having a hell of a time getting gpg-agent to pop up the gui program. I have removed use-ssh-agent from Xsession.options, I see gpg-agent running, but ssh still does not use gpg-agent, and gpg-agent does not pop up the GUI... [01:35] Nitsuga, I'll give it a shot and see what happends [01:35] Typos_King: i think i should write it up in ubuntuforums so that there are more people to help me [01:35] Google is just telling me to make sure ~/.gnupg/ has the appropriate files (it does) and with the right settings (they do) [01:35] Earthen, also change the "set root=" line to set root=(hd0,6) [01:35] Typos_King: though you tried i think u did everything that you could have done [01:35] datta: and sudo apt-get update; gives you the same error? [01:35] I think I'm missing one crucial step to tie ssh and gnupg together [01:36] Typos_king: can I send you the contents for you to help me? [01:36] datta: .... if you can... maybe try a -> sudo apt-get -f install [01:36] Typos_King E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [01:36] assuming it was a bad install or some versioning conflict [01:36] this is the error for sudo apt-get update [01:37] Typos_King: same for -f install [01:38] datta: then try a -> sudo dpkg -a, or --pending [01:38] Nitsuga, root=(hd0,6) is there by dafault [01:38] i'm inside Xmonad now, how do i log out? :( [01:38] jeeez: hard core way - alt-ctrl-sysreq-k (or was it r) [01:38] richard123: I need to dash shortly :| [01:38] jeeez: do not [01:39] jeeez: or check the xmonad docs <-- best idea [01:39] Nitsuga, still the same error [01:39] Typos_King: http://paste.ubuntu.com/381292/ this is the message i get [01:39] enkidu: any leads? [01:39] for sudo dpkg -a [01:39] Nitsuga, general falure mounting file system" [01:39] Dr_Willis: already on it! [01:39] Typos_king: I pasted to you in dialogue window.

[01:41] it keeps coming back to xmonad all the time, even when i restart! :( [01:41] jeeez: the keycombo i gave forces X to exit - thus going back to gdm [01:41] Dr_Willis: okay, farewell! :) [01:41] jeeez: unless you got autologin set in gdm [01:41] Earthen, you can do that or you can try to recover your system [01:41] jeeez: restart xdm / kdm / gdm [01:41] jeeez: or sudo service gdm restrt [01:41] what wireless drivers does eeepc use? [01:41] asus eeepc [01:42] I belive theres different EEE's that may have different wireles cards. [01:42] lspci -nnk crowx [01:43] Nitsuga, i'd like to recover it! but is it worth it? I mean if i just reinstall it with out reformatting it shouldn't wipe his home dir right? [01:43] Can anyone help me see on a blacklist file if I have something inhibiting a nVidia graphics card? [01:44] Earthen, I don't know if that's possible === Iyunkateus is now known as aihunkatihys [01:44] richard123: grep nvidia /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist* [01:44] Earthen: if /home is on its own partion - you can reinstall and not touch home [01:44] I never reinstalled Ubuntu [01:44] hello new help [01:44] Dr_Willis, alas it not that case [01:45] I have that file: what do I look for exactly? [01:45] richard123: do what I said [01:45] enkidu: do I type that in a terminal? [01:45] yes [01:45] OK [01:45] just installed ubuntu need some answers [01:46] ubottu: YAY! got it working!! thank u :) [01:46] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [01:46] Nitsuga, that kinda sucks then I just got him converted to ubuntu, I fear this will drive him back to window$ [01:46] enkidu: I get: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer.conf:blacklist nvidiafb [01:46] richard123: so nvidia is not blacklisted [01:47] richard123: lsmod | grep nvidia [01:47] normand: ask the Q and lets see. [01:47] hello all [01:47] Earthen, well, lets try smoething more.. hardcore [01:47] Given that i can reinstall ubuntu in about an hr or 2.. vs a day or 2 for windows.. :) I will stick with Ubuntu. [01:47] i use facbook quite a bit but can not figure out how to get flash to install [01:47] in gru bpress ctrl-X and type all this: [01:48] enkidu: in Server Settings for nVidia it says I do not seem to be using the driver. [01:48] (see the pm) [01:48] normand: i normally just install the 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' package - it installs flash and other stuff you proberly want [01:48] evening gents [01:48] Nitsuga, :-/ [01:48] need some help with ubuntu ppc [01:48] richard123: you want our help? so do what we say [01:48] where would someone find that ? [01:48] quick question. what is the command to open new pm on double click? [01:48] enkidu: sorry I am trying :-) [01:49] Nitsuga, i'm up for it lets give it a shot [01:49] enkidu: I typed that into a terminal. OK. No output. [01:49] anyone good with the 3d stuffs on ubuntu? [01:49] Nitsuga, what do you sigest? [01:49] packrat_mobile: ask a more specific question - is a good idea [01:49] Earthen, i'm sending you a PM [01:49] using xubuntu 9.04 on imac G3 350 everything works but the colors are inverted [01:49] normand: its in thenormal package manager listings [01:49] richard123: so you should re-install nvidia-kernel package [01:49] press ctrl-X in the bootloader and start typing all that [01:50] anybody know where to buy a wireless router/dsl modem that runs linux? [01:50] I am working on getting the 3D in GL functional IN ubuntu on 9.10 running the radeon drivers for a mobility 7500. [01:50] enkidu: please write me the full command please? [01:50] in firefox ? [01:50] richard123: use synaptic [01:50] glx gears works as a blunt test...however if i try to run nexuiz - ubuntu crashes. if i try running the GL screen savers = they dont work either. [01:51] packrat_mobile: are the drivers your using the proprietary ones from ATI? [01:51] richard123: just type in 'search' box 'nvidia', find nvidia-kernel and choose 'reinstall' [01:51] xubu: are you just running it by itself? or are you dual booting? (just curious i have ag4 700 here) [01:51] normand: in the package manager tools.. firefox has nothng to do with it [01:51] Guest17134: no i am not. [01:52] normand: run synaptic, look for ubuntu-restricted-extras or 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras' [01:52] i had my system clock reset and i managed to get the fsck to say the file systems were clean but on boot I get "init: networking main process (586) terminated with status 1" (9.10 64bit) i am booting into init 1 now [01:52] Try downloading the drivers from ATI. I have a 4850, and they work great. [01:52] Guest17134: I tried installing those. no dice. i even downloaded the most recent version, and an older version. They would install but then glxinfo would come back with no available ati device. [01:52] init 1 i guess it is called recovery mode in grub [01:52] enkidu: is it nvidia-kernel-commom? only this one? [01:52] and i got the same error [01:53] Guest17134: Reboot would put me back into low rez mode. [01:53] all of this really started cuz i was screwing around trying to get a dual monitor setup working, wound up almost hosing the whole config... [01:54] richard123: probably it is this one [01:54] packrat_mobile: you could just move/remove the xorg.conf file and restart X - it might figure it out. [01:54] i tred doing that. [01:54] how do you open 7z on linux? [01:54] ark cannot do it [01:54] !7z | sixofour [01:54] sixofour: Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression [01:55] enkdu: I did this but still no change? [01:55] sixofour: if you install the 7z tools it can [01:55] that just left me where i started. [01:55] richard123: you have to restart your X [01:56] OK. [01:56] i had my BIOS reset and i managed to get the fsck to say the file systems were clean but the boot process halts giving "init: networking main process (###) terminated with status 1" even when booting into recovery mode.

[01:59] enkidu: guess you can use modinfo and modprobe too as well for modules [01:59] and it still hasn't mextracted it [01:59] sixofour: try the command line tools perhaps.. [02:00] is there any good video editing software [02:00] so i dont really know where to go from here for this 3d noize. [02:00] !video [02:00] 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 [02:00] rolsworth: Pitivi is looking decent, and kdenlive is pretty good [02:00] rolsworth: theres a few video editing programs in the repos.. but i dont use any [02:01] rolsworth, i personally like openshotr [02:01] Openshot [02:01] the radeon driver should be able to do this stuff. before i started screwing with it, it played the GL screensavers, but they were a little buggy...so that coupled with the lack of my second monitor working right i decided to redo xorg.conf [02:01] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1eHEAfNFJ0k [02:01] what software is that [02:01] i had my BIOS reset and i managed to get the fsck to say the file systems were clean but the boot process halts giving "init: networking main process (###) terminated with status 1" even when booting into recovery mode. The Recovery mode boot process also gives "init: udevtrigger main process (###) terminated with status 1", "init: udevtrigger post-stop process (###) terminated with status 1", and "init: udevmonitor main process (###) killed by TERM signal [02:01] archboxman: true, anyways, I never used distro management for NV cards (yes, I was usitg linux when noone heard about ubuntu) [02:02] im trying to instll an HPphoto smart 7260 in ubuntu 9.1 the computer reads the printer and trys to install it using CUPS its seems the priter and trys to install it but it wont print a test page or anything [02:02] waterfoul: its possible the filesystem is clean.. but some files were damaged.. ive never seen such error messages befor. [02:02] rolsworth: THat is kdenlive === semitones is now known as semifunk === funkyHat is now known as funkyTones [02:03] i even tried completely removing the radeon driver, and installing the package from ATI. that backfired like woah. [02:03] Dr_Willis: I think in some cases init is failing, I have to start udev manually === semifunk is now known as semitones [02:03] packrat_mobile: all these fix's you have tried - could be the cause of theissues.. I dont use ati any more. so cant really help much [02:04] and it is hard to do, when you have dvorak kbd and map is not yet loaded [02:04] its not really a choice dr willis...ibm t41's got the ati hardwired in there... [02:04] ty tho [02:04] ive finally managed to get rid of allmy ati systems. :) [02:04] adam: looking on HP's site for the drivers leads me to this page.. good luck .. http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/index.html [02:04] :-/ [02:05] !info hplip [02:05] i havent put this on my main box yet...wanted to get the hang of it before i touched my main rig. u dig?

[02:07] hello, who wants to help someone who is losing their mind? [02:07] sixofour: is it usb? or how plugged in? [02:08] usb connector [02:08] sixofour: i plug mine in and most gamepads just work in whatever game i am using [02:08] sixofour: or is it using a ps2 -> usb adaptor? [02:08] -_- [02:08] ps2 - usb [02:08] Pattrick: lol [02:08] seriously [02:08] sixofour: plug it in - check dmesg output - see if its seen/mentioned at the end [02:08] dmesg? [02:09] have the fonts changed in ubuntu 9.10? [02:09] sixofour: yes 'dmesg' command [02:09] the default fonts anyway. I'm liking it [02:09] a lot [02:09] i have know idea what i am not looking at [02:09] now* [02:09] I've just installed Wubi, at the reccomendation of a friend [02:09] Any way i can use netflix on ubuntu? [02:09] and am phreaking out [02:09] How can I change login screen in Ubuntu 9.10? [02:10] whats a wubi?

[02:11] Pattrick, and WHY are you freaking out? === andrew_ is now known as Guest84694 [02:11] sixofour: when you pkug in hardware and stuff. the dmesg command at the end. mentions the devices and things it sees [02:11] uh. hi everyone? [02:11] sixofour: hage you even tried the thing in a game? === titaniumbrella is now known as Carbonish [02:11] i wanted to get the "full" linux experience...so i killed windoz [02:11] well, the very first thing is that my screen cannot be set to the standard resolution [02:11] !netflix [02:11] uh, can someone tell me how to change my name? [02:12] (new to irc) [02:12] ./nick xxxx [02:12] type /nick [02:12] jman888: perhaps google for 'netflix linux' its possible they got a client.. i would be suprised at that [02:12] hmm what is the magic in getting ssh to use gpg-agent? === Guest84694 is now known as andrewa [02:12] nice [02:12] thanks [02:12] How to change my login screen in Ubuntu 9.10? [02:12] so no other ideas other then bailing on ATI hardware? [02:12] Dr_Willis, I will try google again but have been trying a while === voidprayer-ns is now known as voidprayer [02:12] madjoe: its not as themeable as in the old ubuntu. Thers somne tools to do minor tweaking and changes.. but not a lot. [02:12] packrat_mobile: ati is the enemy of your freedom [02:13] enkidu: I restarted but it did not help. This may seem stupid but I did something in a terminal earlier before the problem started todo with 'tty2' - is that a hint? [02:13] /msg blakkheim care to explain that one? i like AMD... [02:13] jman888: many of those services/tools only support windows and have such DRM featues that they cant work in linux/wine/virtualbox [02:13] enkidu;[I was trying to get help with a nvidia graphics card] [02:13] packrat_mobile: They don't give out their drivers as open source =P [02:13] ooo [02:14] its only recently that ATI and AMD merged.. :) [02:14] and nvidia does? [02:14] very true doc. [02:14] is pidgin now empathy? [02:14] Dr_Willis, Yeah i figure that, oh well guess i will just have to periodically boot to windows [02:14] Dr_Willis: I'm going nuts... I'm new with Ubuntu.. I just started 2 days ago... I use Compiz + Emerarld engine, but I don't have a clue how to install a GTK based screensaver... is it possible with a setup like mine? [02:14] racarter: they are two different projects entirely [02:14] Nvidia has had better linux support from what ive seen over the last few years. [02:14] ATI/AMd makes promises.. then they dont seem to follow through [02:14] i dont like my ati x1250 card. [02:14] richard123: try 'modprobe nvidia' ? [02:15] so guys, any clue as to why my screen resolution cannot be selected? [02:15] madjoe: i wouldent worry about a screensaver.. and emerald is basicallyt a dead project... [02:15] blakkheim, why did ubuntu switch to empathy? [02:15] Dr_Willis: ATI is catching up... [02:15] madjoe: theres the xscreensver packages if you want more screensavers [02:15] madjoe: I don't think there is such thing as a 'gtk based' screensaver. You probably just want to install something like xscreensaver [02:15] racarter: dunno [02:15] archboxman: i hear that claim every so often.. but im not buying ati any time in the foreseeable futre [02:15] enkidu: FATAL: Module nvidia not found [02:15] to be honest, empathy doesn't seem much different than pidgin [02:16] racarter: bad choice imo, but i don't use ubuntu so it doesn't affect me [02:16] hey, fixed it, I think [02:16] so why would something like gears work...but not gl matrix...even the compiz stuff is working much better now. [02:16] so, ya, i recently switched from vista, to ubuntu, and am kinda confused on some things [02:16] Dr_Willis: I just found one that is cool, made all steps to install it, but it won't show up... instead Ubuntu shows the default one... even if I change "default" to "nsa" [02:16] i have installed the HPLip how do i get itto install the printer [02:16] sorry to repeat but, did ubuntu do something different with fonts in 9.10? [02:16] it looks much improved to me, but I'm not sure if it is something I did or if I'm just crazy [02:16] packrat_mobile: gl matrix? [02:16] anyone had problems with apache not running php scripts but spitting them out for download? [02:16] richard123: ok, so automagic installer didn helped [02:17] madjoe: its possible its a 'xscreensaver' screensaver not a gnome screensaver.. Theres been fighting over the last few years over how to 'properly' do screensavers [02:17] soreau: the screensaver GLMatrix. [02:17] !nvidia [02:17] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [02:17] enkidu: sorry - please explain? [02:17] is ubuntu using truetype fonts by default now? [02:17] packrat_mobile: What is not working about it? [02:17] soreau + Dr_Willis: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/NSA++GNOME+Lock+Screen?content=89014 [02:17] Dr_Willis: Hey well everyone has there opnion, gamers fight about which is better for games ati and nvidia and it really boils down to who supports the card or what game writes it for that card [02:17] racarter: yes. should be enabled. [02:17] racarter, always used OpenType [02:17] Dr_Willis: I've made all steps described.. no luck. [02:17] okay, kinda fixed it [02:17] (which is way better than TrueType) [02:18] well, whatever is going on I think the fonts looks great in 9.10 [02:18] now, theres no easy way for me to bring my 45g music collection to ubuntu from Vista, is there? [02:18] wish I knew what exactly changed... [02:18] Soreau: it engages but nothing shows up on the screen. [02:18] Hi all [02:18] racarter, maybe they changed the default antialias settings [02:18] madjoe: It even gives you instruction on how to install that.. [02:18] Question, why does gdialog --title 'I love' --msgbox "Anthony & Joseph" 5 20 output "all updates complete" but if I remove the & and type 'and' it works ? [02:18] there are in the appareance properties [02:18] soreau: i checked the bug reports but thats not what is happening with mine. [02:18] packrat_mobile: That's strange.. [02:18] soreau: I know.. I did all the steps with no luck [02:19] soreau: I did all the steps with no "human" errors [02:19] madjoe: could be its out of date with changes in the screensaver.. it seems to be a THEME for a screensaver.. [02:19] enkidu: I have an instruction to run nvidia-xconfig as root - what should I do? [02:19] jimi_: you might want to learn some bash basics [02:19] jimi_, bash is substituting the ampersand. Just use '' instead of "" [02:19] soreau: quite. and i started over and worked through that little tutorial thing. and got to where i am now, after trying several different approaches. [02:19] richard123: it will change nothing [02:19] Nitsuga, what is it substituting the text from? [02:19] thanks [02:20] enkidu: what do you suggest please? [02:20] richard123: ls /usr/src/linux-`uname -r` [02:20] Nitsuga, changing to single quotes didn't make a difference [02:20] Dr_Willis: ok, since I've downloaded two screensavers, can you suggest some other page to change my ubuntu installation except that page? [02:20] jimi_, the & is for backgrounding processes [02:20] madjoe: I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work, thoguh I haven't tried it [02:20] madjoe: change what aspect? === FeiRuoWa is now known as zz_FeiRuoWa [02:20] packrat_mobile: Which driver do you use? [02:20] jimi_, try using zenity instead of gdialog [02:20] enkidu: ls: cannot access /usr/src/linux-2.6.31-16-server: No such file or directory [02:20] Dr_Willis: layout.. theme, icons, login screen etc. [02:20] soreau: "radeon" [02:21] soreau: the open source variety. [02:21] madjoe: thers 10000's of themes out there and theme parts. and tools to allow easy downloading of them gnome-art, gnome-artng and others. [02:21] I am IM'ing myself side by side in empathy and pidgin and I cannot figure out what the difference is... [02:21] soreau: can you try it if you have ubuntu 9.10, please? [02:21] richard123: apt-get install linux-headers [02:21] madjoe: login screen -> play with the files in xsplash if you want or check out the gdm2 config tools that exist. (not many iof them) [02:21] okay guys [02:21] what is this growl-like thing happening in ubuntu? [02:21] Dr_Willis: so there's nothing wrong with that link.. you can recommend it? [02:21] I kinda like this [02:21] i like it [02:21] but [02:21] I gave a static ip to my system by changing /etc/network/interfaces.Everything works great but knetworkmanager shows that i'm not connected and connection name changed [02:22] is it growl by any chance? [02:22] how can I get my stuff from Vista over here to Ubuntu? [02:22] I've got 45gigs of music [02:22] packrat_mobile: I use the same one and it worksforme here on my gentoo installation.. [02:22] racarter: it is notify-osd [02:22] KiRiLoS: knetworkmanager is buggy [02:22] Pattrick: burn to dvd or use external means to transfer [02:22] madjoe: what link? that screensaver theme link? its just gnome-look.org - I rarely use the site. I use tools that GET files from the site or from the gnomeart sites [02:22] brb, need to check sth [02:22] enkidu, you think that's the case? [02:22] looking like empathy is the only thing that works with this notify-osd [02:22] looks like i'll be using empathy [02:22] Dr_Willis: gnome-look.org [02:22] enkidu: it returned a list, OK, next step? [02:23] Pattrick, you can acces to it directly [02:23] madjoe: I can't try it right now, but maybe later [02:23] trism: do you know how to configure notify-osd? it opens at the top of my screen which i don't want [02:23] racarter: pidgin works too, as to many other apps [02:23] Pattrick: same computer or differnet computer??? [02:23] soreau: thanx [02:23] madjoe: its just a collection of stuff people submit. Thers dozens of theme ppa repos and themes in the default package listings you can also use [02:23] when i try to run my php script by browsing to the apacheserver it only lets me download instead of view the file in the browser [02:23] oh dear, then maybe back to pidgin for me? [02:23] richard123: sorry, I misstyped [02:23] helllo all [02:23] archboxman [02:23] racarter: it is not configurable unfortunately, without editing the source [02:23] same computer [02:23] richard123: apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` [02:23] trism: that is unfortunate [02:23] and I hate to be a bother [02:23] racarter: hopefully they will add configuration options in the future [02:23] but I can't notice when someone is talkign to me [02:23] since I'm not on mIRC [02:23] trism: hopefully =) [02:24] so could you PM me if you're wanting to halp? [02:24] I'm trying not to kill myself elsewhere in Ubuntu [02:24] brb, I have to check sth [02:24] hmm [02:24] Pattrick: Places> computer find the drive and use root login to enter drive... [02:24] archboxman [02:24] now in English? [02:24] Dr_Willis: what would you suggest as a replacement to emerald? GTK? [02:24] I'd like to add the dontzap parameter to xorg.conf, but 9.10 doesn't have an xorg.conf... how does one go about doing this? [02:25] madjoe: i just use compiz and the gnome window decorations [02:25] enkidu: if user name is taraduffy: is correct line: apt-get install linux-headers-taraduffy-r ? [02:25] Pattrick, go to places, click computer, find your Vista partitoin, double click it and type your passwd [02:25] Pattrick: It is a partition that is already on the computer just have to access it [02:25] *partition [02:25] i think thgat was pretty clearly spoken in english [02:25] My vista partition [02:25] madjoe: thers only 3 decorators one could use.. and emerald is dieing off.. so that leaves KDE's and the Gnome/gtks decorators [02:25] Pattrick: yes your vista partition [02:25] emerald dieing off? [02:26] !emerald [02:26] as per what evidence? [02:26] emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. [02:26] Hey guys, how can i mount my raid 0 harddrives in ubuntu live cd mode??? [02:26] I see 250 GB Hard Disk: Recovery / CD/DVD Drive / Generic Multi-Card / Palm Pre / Filesystem [02:26] archboxman, - will you hold my hand lol [02:26] its still used mostly where compiz is used. [02:26] enkidu: this started after i think I activated tty2 in a terminal [02:26] Dr_Willis: if I'd like to make my windows transparent (change the opacity), what should I do? [02:26] Pattrick: my windows xp partition is in there I just don't use xp anymore... [02:26] madjoe: compiz can do that [02:27] last i checked the Emerald theme repos were down.. i havent tried it lately. Gave up on emerald. [02:27] There is no icon in my Computer folder named Vista Partition, though [02:27] would it be because I'm on wubi? [02:27] morphix: im not sure that emerald can be used with anything OTHER then compiz. :) [02:27] how do you delete stuff from a thumb drive [02:27] Pattrick, ohh you are in wubi [02:27] Dr_Willis: Hint: /msg FusioBot emerald-themes [02:27] is that why? [02:28] omg [02:28] od3n_: i normally use the file manager, delete - then empty trash [02:28] go to Filesystem -> host [02:28] there is a trash folder that never seems to empty [02:28] what is the correct way to install flash on ubuntu? [02:28] Dr_Willis: too bad.. I just found one cool theme (crystal) with Emerald... I don't want to let it go that easily :) lol [02:28] i don't seem to have it by default [02:28] kdenlive crashes a lot [02:28] od3n_: in theory its supposed to ask to empty the trash on unmount [02:28] Pattrick, go to filesystem -> host [02:28] crap i just did rm -rf ~/.gnote, how do i undo this? [02:28] Nitsuga <3 [02:28] funkycat90210, you can't [02:28] racarter: i install 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' package and it pulls in flash and some fonts and other stuff [02:28] !flash | racarter [02:28] racarter: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [02:28] Nitsuga, uhg [02:28] Dr_Willis, it does [02:29] yeah ist not doing that [02:29] The 'clean trash on unmount' is a relatively new feature. :) [02:29] funkycat90210, next time be careful with the -r flag [02:29] od3n_: wht ubuntu version you using? [02:29] 910 [02:29] Hey guys, how can i mount my raid 0 harddrives in ubuntu live cd mode??? [02:29] i can't wait till flash goes away [02:29] funkycat90210, I avoid most of my misdelets adding in /etc/bashrc an alias to rm -I (add at the end alias rm=rm -I [02:30] that way it will ask you befor deleting more than 3 files [02:30] if they figure out a format for HTML 5 videos hopefully flash is over... [02:30] maybe? [02:30] Pattrick, in linux there is a magic think called symlinks [02:30] they're like window's shortcuts [02:30] can anyone help me disable/stop tty2 - I think it is stopping my nvidia graphics card? [02:30] racarter: i thinkright now its a matter of figureing out how to put ADs and other annoyances in html5 videos.. :) [02:30] Nitsuga, still woulda happened, i thought i was on the right machine [02:31] only that, to any application, it is the destination folder [02:31] racarter: youtube has limited html5 support now :) its in testing [02:31] yeah is acting all weird [02:31] richard123, sudo stop tty2 [02:31] Pattrick, with symlinks you can link your Vista MUsic folder to the music folder in your Ubuntu's home [02:31] Dr_Willis: yes, Compiz has a feature to select certain (all) windows to make them transparent... cool! [02:32] madjoe: and 10000+ other useless features as well [02:32] Pattrick, and when you go to home -> music you'll se your music [02:32] nitsuuga: can you help me work out why the nvidia card since then does not work? [02:32] Dr_Willis: since I'm a brand new n00b at this, I'll just try them all! :) [02:32] richard123, did you install the restricted driver? [02:33] Hey guys, how can i mount my raid 0 harddrives in ubuntu live cd mode??? [02:33] nitsuga: I am not a techie - please explain? [02:33] Nitsuga: I did install something. [02:34] richard123, go to System -> administration -> hardware drivers [02:34] Dr_Willis: hypothetically - if I don't have issues with my setup: Compiz + Emerald, would you advise me to get rid of Emerald anyway? [02:35] Nitsuga: I follow, will report in a minute. . .thanks [02:35] richard123, is "nvidia" in that list? [02:35] hi [02:35] if it is, just choose the lastest version (I think that 186) and activate it [02:35] nitsuga: yes, but not activated: I am downloading: it somehow must have got uninstalled! [02:36] richard123, it's not activated by default [02:36] while building a .deb package using command: dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot === anthony is now known as anto9us [02:36] how do I recover from a half finish compilation? [02:36] Nitsuga: I had previously activated it, but then I installed something - I think tty2 - and then the problem started. [02:36] hi all..... my cron jobs are not running... my username is in /etc/cron.allow.... I'm missing something? [02:39] madjoe: if it works.. use what you want. i wouldent spend to much time learning emerald or fighting it. Im not even sure if its in the next release or not [02:40] madjoe: i perfer the gnome-gtk/metacity window decorations so i dont use emerald - i rarely use compiz [02:40] Dr_Willis: good point... but what's there to learn? [02:40] madjoe: make your own emerald themes if you want. Ther used to be a feature in emerald where it had a repo of dozens of themes.. but its gone. Now you have to look/make your own [02:40] Emerald is still in the next release. :) it seems. [02:41] Dr_Willis: yaaay! :) hehe [02:41] Dr_Willis, do you like emerald over compiz? [02:42] Dr_Willis: ok, but other than making my own theme.. there shouldn't be anything else that should force me to uninstall emerald.. the main reason is I won't be able to use it in Ubuntu 9.30, let's say... :) isn't it?

[03:40] xfact im on 9.10 [03:41] ryan___: oh [03:41] blakkheim! Time is a factor. Relax. [03:41] bigtom21485, Then go and get the login screen manager from Ubuntu tweak, I think you have Ubuntu tweak [03:41] kelopez: ATI HD3650 to intel G31, my ATI is broken down [03:41] I installed kubuntu-desktop package and now it looks like my pointer is sometimes the KDE pointer even when I'm using gnome. how do i fix that? [03:41] also when I restart I get the kubuntu logo [03:41] ok [03:41] If you prefer Command line instructions, then I don't know :O [03:42] kelopez: i'm now using low graphic mode, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg didnt work [03:42] hmm [03:42] xfact: where is ubuntu tweak? [03:42] hello everyone, i've just changed my graphic card, and it's not working now, what should i do ? [03:42] Yes! need help with libs to play righted DVDs [03:43] leohartx: what kind of card? [03:43] bigtom21485, Ok, go to ubuntu-tweak.com and get it [03:43] It is awesome! [03:44] scunizi: intel G31 integrated card [03:44] But be careful about extra PPAs [03:44] leohartx: in a terminal type "xrandr" and see if the resolution you need is listed [03:44] ah.. took me just a little bit of google-fu.. but I fixed this weird bug where it says "no such device" after installation of 9.10 [03:44] huzzah! [03:44] ubuntu users totally have eachother's backs. [03:45] scunizi : it's listed [03:45] * xfact is currently trying to learn python! [03:45] scunizi : but i'm now using low graphic mode [03:45] I think. [03:45] leohartx: check out xrandr and see how to use it to change the graphics.. I'll have ubottu give you a link that might help. after that it's google [03:45] !resolution > leohartx [03:45] leohartx, please see my private message [03:46] q [03:46] sal vrun roman === rs is now known as a4 [03:48] scunizi : ty, i'll try these methods [03:50] I need a quick hand. is there a terminal command I can use to redetect a network card under ubuntu server? I just moved a VM under virtualbox from one machine to another. the settings are the same for the network device under virtualbox. but the ubuntu server vm wont detect the device. [03:50] i'm on an eee pc 1000he using a wlan connection and I'm finding download speeds to be very slow and inconsistent. I have a feeling that its caused by inadequate drivers but im not sure. does anyone have any insight? [03:51] cruncher: try madwifi instead of ath5k/ath9k [03:51] maxxist: what's the host system.. in the ubuntu server vm you could try ifdown eth0 then ifup eth0 .. if eth0 is the name of the card in the vm. [03:52] maxxist: also sudo service networking restart [03:52] finch [03:52] gah! I can't change my pointer [03:52] scunizi, i have tried a /etc/init.d/network restart it gives me a no such device error. [03:52] in gnome I went into Appearances but the pointer stays the same... [03:52] q [03:53] maxxist: yes.. that would have been on 8.10.. try that last command I gave you [03:53] can anyone help me with this strange problem? [03:53] hi - If I'm in display 0, how can i open a command to display 1? [03:53] i'm looking for something like gnome-terminal --display=1 [03:53] anyone know why atheros drivers are not supported in ubuntu server 9.04/9.10 but supported in ubuntu 9.04/9.10 or which package to install in ubuntu server 9.10 to get atheros working? [03:54] racarter, in order for the pointer change to take effect I have to disable Compiz and just use Metacity [03:54] sslaccessrocks: because most servers don't use wifi.. [03:54] * xfact !Gratitude: When you are having appropriate answer of your questions, then do not forget to thank the answerer :) [03:54] scunizi, same error. "SIOCSIFADDR: No such device" [03:54] blankkheim: which package do I install to get it working? [03:54] sslaccessrocks: wireless drivers are typically installed in server.. however I think if you install ubuntu-restricted-extras you'll have the atheros drivers.. [03:54] sslaccessrocks: it's a kernel module, the server edition is tuned for server use, thats why they aren't there [03:54] ZykoticK9... i will die without compiz [03:55] literally I will drop dead [03:55] scunizi: URE has nothing to do with it [03:55] ZykoticK9, do you mean disable it and then reenable it? [03:55] scunizi, i have double checked the settings for the VM under virtualbox. everything is identical under both systems. [03:55] sslaccessrocks: you will have to compile and manually load the module [03:55] scunizi: the server does not have internet, can i download an ubuntu-alternate of the same version and use that in the sources.list to download a package --which package? [03:55] racarter, once i re-enable compiz - pointer change disappears [03:55] sslaccessrocks: it's not a package [03:56] blakkheim: can i use an ubuntu-alternate to download the new kernel then? [03:56] blakkheim: do the question remains .. what package to install for wireless on server.. despite that it isn't typically done. [03:56] scunizi: i just answered that [03:56] sslaccessrocks: you might as well just install the regular edition instead of server if you're going to replace the kernel [03:57] blakkheim: can't do that, not enough min specs on hardware [03:57] racarter, don't see anything in ccsm about pointer theme? sorry man, best of luck. [03:57] sslaccessrocks: the mini iso then? [03:57] blakkheim: no internet if it doesn't have drivers? [03:57] sslaccessrocks: you can't wire it just for the installation? [03:57] blakkheim: negative [03:58] hi guys... does anybody know how can I configure the multimedia keys on sony vaio (ubuntu 9.10)? [03:58] sslaccessrocks: not much you can do then, sorry. i'd just get the source for the atheros driver and put it on a flash drive and put it on the other computer to compile it [03:58] skullface [03:58] blakkheim: im unsure of how to go about installing mad wifi, do you know of any well written documentation? [03:58] bugaloo, i gave up on that long ago.. seems like a pain [03:58] blakkheim: can you link me? [03:59] cruncher: you download the tarball, compile it, load the modules [03:59] My multimedia keys are working fine on Ubuntu 9.10 [03:59] albech, :( I have a HP Pavilion and it works fine [03:59] cruncher & sslaccessrocks: i don't have any doc links for it [03:59] bugaloo, there is some vaio kernel module that should enable them, but sony isnt very informative about their hardware, so writing stuff for it seems to be a pain [03:59] just a few keys doesn't, but on vaio nothing works, not even sound volume [03:59] albech, i see [03:59] sslaccessrocks: I find that linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-16-server is what you need.. replace the module number with the current kernel or search apt-get, aptitude etc.. for it.. I found the info here.. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=764025 .. check out packages.ubuntu.com from another machine to download [03:59] ZykoticK9, I think it's because KDE changes the default pointer somehow [03:59] hello, is there an antivirus that I can install in ubuntu to check files for virus? [03:59] User_: clamav [03:59] bugaloo, even light control doesnt work on mine :( [04:00] racarter, well I'm on Gnome and can't get it working either??? [04:00] how reliable is clamav? [04:00] albech, too bad hear this :( [04:00] ok, thanks scunizi, i will use the ubuntu alt cd in the sources.list to get that file [04:00] did you ever install kubuntu-desktop? [04:00] User_: that's a matter of opinion [04:00] my mute works fine, lol [04:00] Anyone used netbook remix yet?

[04:00] bugaloo, yet ubuntu is running fine and i can live without [04:00] racarter, is that to me? I've never install kubuntu-desktop no. [04:00] how to join my favourites in irc? [04:00] ZykoticK9, i'm probably mistaken, but I think I saw this problem start happening after I installed kubuntu-desktop [04:00] Anyone know a way to redetect network devices from terminal? google is not being my friend right now. [04:00] bugaloo, have a look at this site: http://www.linux-laptop.net/sony.html [04:01] ZykoticK9, ok. then maybe I am wrong. [04:01] albech, sure... but I'm trying to make everything works because is a new laptop :) [04:01] sslaccessrocks: looks like there is a meta package called linux-restricted-modules-server [04:01] albech, I tried this site, but there is no my model [04:01] :( [04:01] Ok, then, for those who are or have used netbook remix is it worth the install? [04:01] skullface [04:01] in any case, does anyone know how to change what the default pointer is set to in gnome? [04:01] racarter, i do have the KDE libraries installed, but doubt it's a KDE issue -- think it's a compiz issue myself [04:01] scunizi: things like that (linux-restricted-modules-server package) is why i use ubuntu :) thanks i'll give that a shot first [04:02] thanks anyway [04:02] sslaccessrocks: as I remember that's how I solved it a couple years ago.

[04:19] darolu: xrandr will dynamically generate the appropriate settings.. the biggest question is weather or not ATI has depreciated your card in their latest drivers that are compatible with the latest X.org.. check their site first before you spinn your wheels.. look for the driver and if they mention an older driver to use they will typically say it's not compatible with the current Xorg [04:20] scunizi: already checked, my card is no longer supported in Linux, the "legacy driver" doesn't work with my current kernel (2.6.31) [04:20] darolu: then you're stuck.. time to get a new card that is compatible or wait for the ATI drivers to catch up [04:23] alfattah: do you mean change the karmic login screen to a ttyl like in alt+ctrl+F1? === flea is now known as Guest66631 [04:24] scunizi: after mounting the ubuntu alt iso and apt-cdrom for detection (checked the sources.list to ensure), i cannot find a package with apt-cache search restricted that matches either the meta or full package === TheFatz is now known as PhilMather [04:27] sslaccessrocks: you might have to use a different computer and look in packages.ubuntu.com.. download and put it on a usb stick or something to transfer it.

[05:02] joining [05:03] chetnick, ok i have the vm set up with ubuntu now...so i can just "sudo cp -R /backup/* /" and im done? [05:04] i3inary: i would suggest doing that in single user mode. [05:04] i3inary: yes that would be it, if its a complete backup. [05:04] i3inary: [05:04] i3inary: use sudo cp -ax /backup/* / [05:05] chetnick, so i dont have to worry about excluding any files that would mess up the drivers on the new installation?

[05:08] chetnick, correct but it has drivers they are just for simulated hardware no? [05:08] i3inary: from my experience (VMWare) you have now worries about drivers when it comes to virtual machine.

[05:13] tristanbob: oh, well that's something else then. i just was going to mention that flash is an absolute piece of shit [05:13] RPG_Master: i had that issue with kdm 4.3, i resolved it by installing gdm, and using that to login. [05:13] chetnick, thanks for the feedback. [05:13] bmatthew, I wanted to find out if it is a known bug, with a solution. [05:13] chetnick: :P That could work. [05:13] chetnick, ok im giving it a try ill just revert to the snapshot if it doesnt work...which is the main reason i am moving the physical box to the virtual machine in the first place [05:13] RPG_Master: this issue was on gentoo, and i had kde and gentoo installed on system. [05:13] chetnick: Any other solutions? [05:13] RPG_Master: i also had to install gdm [05:14] is anyone good here with creating hotkeys/remapping keys?? anyone at all? [05:14] i3inary: you can always come back to most recent snapshot, but i'm 99% sure you'll be fine. [05:14] How old is this bug? [05:14] lane_: ive done it before [05:15] well see heres my problem, my g and h buttons dont work on my laptop [05:15] RPG_Master: i'm not using KDE, so i cant really help you any further with this issue. You might want to ask somewhere where people are actually using KDE, maybe #KDE, you can always get some good help on #Gentoo as well. [05:16] chetnick: Thanks, I'll check out #KDE :) [05:16] anytime [05:16] RPG_Master: i think aprox 2 month [05:16] RPG_Master: but i didnt try to change back i like gdm [05:16] klappi: OK, needs to be fix though :( [05:16] <[deXter]> RPG_Master: I had this problem when I updated to 4.4 [05:16] hi [05:17] RPG_Master, you might want to try #kubuntu prior to #kde [05:17] Does Ubuntu come with SElinux? [05:17] with windows i just used a program called autohotkey but i cannnot find an equivelant, with that i wrote a script making shift 6 and 7 being g and \h [05:17] RPG_Master: ubuntu is optimized for gdm anyways it starts earlier in the boot process [05:17] GungaDin: I dont think so. [05:17] <[deXter]> RPG_Master: boot into runlevel 3 and do a repo refresh followed by an update [05:17] klappi: Even if you're using Kubuntu? [05:18] [deXter]: Wo, wait, what do I do now? [05:18] RPG_Master: kdm starts at the very end and gdm earlier, yes [05:18] leaving [05:19] <[deXter]> RPG_Master: Just google what I said if you want further detail. :) [05:19] [deXter]: OK "{ [05:19] *:P [05:19] i don't understand why Ubuntu doesn't use resierfs [05:20] ext4 is giving me a BIG HEADACHE and STOMACH-ACHE [05:20] lol same question, my guy who was gonna help me just left. is anyone good here with creating hotkeys/remapping keys?? [05:20] <[deXter]> git__: Because ReiserFS is as dead as Nina Reiser? [05:20] !runlevels > RPG_Master [05:20] RPG_Master, please see my private message [05:20] git__, you can use reiserfs if you want [05:20] reiserfs is so much more stable than ext4 many times OVER [05:20] [deXter]: mean [05:20] RPG_Master, from ubottu's message you can see runlevel 3 isn't going to help you [05:21] i've committed over 250GB on ext4, it crashes on me every 2 or 3 days so far [05:21] nobody...? [05:21] git__, if you want you can reinstall and format your hard drive with reiserfs [05:21] git__: swithc to ext3 [05:21] git__, i [05:22] ZykoticK9: Good ol' ubottu :P [05:22] ? is this working? [05:22] git__, you can also try ext3 or reformat your hard drive to reiserfs [05:22] lane_, can you set them using System / Preferences / Keyboard Shortcuts ? [05:22] jazz: yep! [05:23] thanks rww, trying to sus out connection problem here [05:23] git__: yeah, i heard people having issues with ext4 ... that is why its not recomended for production env. [05:23] zykotick9: well i tried, but my goal here is to make shift 6 and 7 be g and h [05:24] and so far im unsuccessful [05:24] lane_, won't that mess up ^ and & ? [05:25] i still stick to 9.04, i installed 9.10 on laptop, and i am not happy at all. 9.04 over 8.10 was way big progress than 9.10 over 9.04. If there were progress at all, maybe it was more of a regress. [05:25] yeah thats wat im hoping, ghave you ever heard of autohotkey [05:25] finally got mplayer & vlc to play DVDs. thx [05:25] chetnick, in my opinion Karmic (9.10) is just a pre-beta for 10.04 [05:25] anyone attending the ubuntu manual 48 gig? [05:26] is it ok to give me a normal user permission to edit files in a subdir of /usr/share/? [05:26] <[1]spike> Hi Everyone, Is anyone here knowledgable with setting a proxy server with ubuntu server? i tried http_proxy=192.168.1.2:6588 then export http_proxy but i still cant seem to get any internet [05:26] *give a normal [05:26] zykotick9: because g and h do not work anymore on my laptop [05:26] infid: I wouldn't [05:26] ardchoille: what are the dangers? [05:26] think my lan connection is realtech, what would the device be called on ubuntu, on olso it was rge0. i cant check ifconfig because i have no sound and can not use orca. i am blind. so need ssh to fix sound [05:27] lane_, sorry man I've never tried to re-map "actual" keys before, just multimedia/special keys -- best of luck [05:27] infid: chaging files in /usr/share without the need for sudo can make a user lax and not think about possibly trashing something. Requiring sudo makes the user think before editing [05:27] alright well thanks anyways [05:27] infid: and you don't want just anyone changing things in there because those files are system-wide [05:28] does any one have an icon or know if i can even use a "%" for net status instead of these at&T looking bars? [05:29] chetnick, i was happy with 8.04 ... 9.10 seems to crash more often for me [05:29] ardchoille: well i was just going to be for my user to edit my custom php library files in /usr/share/php/my-libs [05:29] hey everyone! [05:29] 10.04 = 2010, april [05:29] infid: well, that might be ok, but just remember you're changing system-wide files [05:30] i see two bars but when i hover over it it's either 37% or 48% still anythoing under 51% dont help me [05:30] ok [05:30] hey does any one use ubuntu for gaming? [05:30] needshelp, yup [05:30] git__: 9.04 is the best so far!!! it is awesome. [05:30] what games do you play? [05:30] !ot | needshelp [05:30] needshelp: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [05:31] i was getting to the support part [05:31] needshelp, this isn't a chat channel - do you have a specific game question? [05:31] just wondering who has experiance in what i need help with [05:31] git__: the only down side of 9.04 is pulseaudio. [05:31] needshelp: ask your support question and you might get better answers [05:31] chetnick, can one revert to 9.04 from 9.10? [05:31] needshelp, http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/gaming [05:31] I am trying to find the best way to play a game, HoN. I have tried the linux app and wine aswell [05:31] git__: i'm not sure, i dont think so. [05:31] I just cant seem to get a decent frame rate [05:32] git__: no [05:32] i think it is the gfx drivers [05:32] i skipped from 8.04 LTS to 9.10 ... thinking that 9.10 is more stable than 9.04 [05:32] needshelp, what gfx card? [05:32] ati 3870 [05:32] git__: i went from 8.04 to 9.04. [05:32] is there any way to remove all package deps that was installed from an apt-get command? [05:32] needshelp, sorry man i don't to ati stuff - best of luck. [05:32] :( [05:33] yeah the ati drivers are really bad... [05:33] macstar: sudo apt-get autoremove [05:33] question for the pile: I'm trying to install 9.10 from a disc I made with the iso hosted on the ubuntu official site, and it requires a username and pw that it never lets me define, and I'm not doing an oem install...ideas? [05:33] would a realtec gigabit lan card be called rge0? [05:33] suncross: i had the same thing happen to me today from the iso hosted on the office site; a reinstall fixed the problem [05:33] suncross: after you install, or before you even start install? [05:34] chetnick: thanks [05:34] it happens before i install it, it never brings up the normal welcome window [05:34] suncross: i have no clue what is that. [05:35] suncross, you may have dled the wrong version. I downloaded the server verison once and it did that. [05:35] i thought i might have to, but I checked my DL folder and it's the desktop [05:35] suncross..i would recommend using a jump driver over a cd too, it installs way quicker. [05:35] suncross: yes, this happened on the server version today from the iso from the official ubuntu site (9.10) [05:36] search for pendrivelinux.com and they have apps that auto download the correct distro. [05:36] ok, thanks! I have some options [05:36] and put it on a jumpdrive for you. [05:36] hello [05:36] i need some help ... [05:36] !hello | kesherwani [05:36] kesherwani: 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! [05:37] due to some error , my system is not getting booted up prperly [05:37] ubuntu was installed on my system , but somehow ,now its not getting properly boot .with an ALERT message /dev/disk/by-uuid/44c02152-eb7c-4ca8-b6c6-38cf65a6552f does not exit .Dropping to a sherll i am struck at a prompt (initramfs) . how to resolve this.. how else if could not be resolved , is there any way to repair OS like we do in windows? [05:37] Does anybody here know if ATI has working drivers for 9.10 that dont cause the black screen at boot? [05:37] kersherwani: was this during an upgrade? [05:38] jngdwe. the 10.2 drivers dont [05:38] Dangit [05:38] hey all [05:38] Well, is there any known fix that WILL let me use drivers with working 3d acceleration? [05:38] jng http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Jaunty_Installation_Guide [05:38] ahh [05:38] !hello | HazRPG [05:38] HazRPG: 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! [05:38] jng use that website i sent you to evaluate the different options [05:38] can someone recommend me a hierarchy making application? [05:38] i have been messsing with gfx drivers all day to no avail [05:39] the gfx drivers for linux SUCK [05:39] i am not sure , i do upgrade regulalry ..the system was working well and fine , the last time i used. and when i swiutched on and booted my system today , struck to it [05:39] personally, the ATI drivers always worked fine for me until 9.10 [05:39] needshelp: all of them? Including the nvidia and ATI ones? [05:39] and ssame with nvidia, i always had good luck on my 6150, 6600LE, 7600GT, 9600GT [05:40] needshelp: granted, they are closed-source, but so are the windows-based ones. [05:40] anyone know of a good hierarchy diagram program? [05:41] use visio [05:41] it is an m$ product but you can get a free 2010 beta key [05:41] needshelp: isn't that a microsoft application? [05:41] sslaccessrocks : i am not sure , i do upgrade regulalry ..the system was working well and fine , the last time i used. and when i swiutched on and booted my system today , struck to it [05:41] yes. but you can use it for free in beta [05:41] needshelp: true... but I'm looking for something to use in the long-term [05:42] This latest ATI issue is such a pain, i was so happy to have my 5.1 X-FI setup finally fully functional, with even sound playing on all 5 speakers [05:42] and the ati drivers work fine until you want to play an opengl game [05:42] No they don't, i cannot get them to work at all with my 4830 [05:42] unles you mean the open source drivers [05:42] <[deXter]> HazRPG: Dia is pretty good [05:43] And open source is not an option for me, i am a gamer and am totally obsessed with compiz [05:43] if i wanted to make gedit the default editor for a program what i need to put in the command line? [05:43] can one resize ext4? [05:43] kesherwani: you might want to try to login to grub using an older kernel (not the top default option); if you get in, try system -> admin -> gparted to repartition your swap (what is the device in question, swap or your OS partition)? [05:43] <[deXter]> git__: Yea [05:43] [deXter]: I've got Dia, it's a pretty good all-round diagram tool. I just want something that I can enter data into and it'll automatically fill the lines for the structure [05:43] kesherwani, check your /etc/fstab [05:44] [deXter]: but if there's nothing better, then I'll just stick with that [05:44] I really hate that there is no way of getting a list of directories. [05:44] Has anybody here gotten any ATI drivers to work with a 4xxx card on 9.10? [05:44] powerpoint use to have a diagram tool to make hierarchical diagrams, shame that OO Presentation doesn't [05:44] does anyone have any tips on getting pptp-client working in 8.04, I have googled out of my mind and cannot find anything to remedy it? [05:44] I keep getting 'MPPE required but not available' yet all the debugging points to the kernel having it enabled [05:45] jng the website I sent you has a step by step way to do just that. [05:45] dsnyders: you mean other than ls? [05:45] ls lists files. It doesn't list directories. [05:45] ls -all [05:45] I don't need a tutorial on how to install it. The driver installs fine in multiple methods [05:45] Is it possible to use an md5sum as a universal type of bit code to generate an iso without downloading the actual file - for instance the md5 would be an instruction set so that if you used that, it would automaticaly create the same image? [05:45] <[deXter]> HazRPG: You can dry the Draw program in the OpenOffice suite or Kivio, although I've used neither.. [05:45] did the site include a fix for the black screen at boot? [05:45] As in right after the ubuntu loading screen [05:45] HazRPG, No. Only directories. Like dir /a:d in DOS [05:46] jng yes. it tells you to hold down alt and some other key and hit a series of keys [05:46] Believe me, i [05:46] hamnegga, no -- md5 sums are tiny [05:46] Believe me ive tried* [05:46] 3. Just in case Write down or remember this series of Alt+PrntScr key combinations, just in case your screen should go black and Ctrl+Alt+F1 and Ctrl+Alt+Backspace doesn't work. Alt+PrntScr+r, Alt+PrntScr+s, Alt+PrntScr+e, Alt+PrntScr+i, Alt+PrntScr+n, Alt+PrntScr+u, Alt+PrntScr+b These keypresses will reboot the system safely. To remember the keypresses, remember this nonsensical phrase: "Raising Skinny Elephants Is Never Utterly B [05:47] wait, prntScr? [05:47] dsnyders: ls --help [05:47] WTF? [05:47] well, I don't see why something similar could be used, since it's all binary in the end and use some type of encryption and key. [05:47] Can you tell me in general what they do? [05:47] dsnyders: if you use ls -d, it shows directorys [05:48] Ive been with Ubuntu for a few years, but i dont know a whole lot in terms of key presses [05:48] hamnegga: no. There are lots (I think infinite) of different files that map to the same MD5 hash. The whole concept of hashing a file involves ending up with something that has less information than the original file, so you can't go backwards. [05:48] HazRPG, No, it doesn't. It lists the files in the directories. [05:48] Hi does anyone know of the IRC Room of google chrome browser [05:49] dsnyders, ls -- shows both files & directories, not sure why you think it doesn't [05:49] ZykoticK9, Exactly, it shows both. I want only the directories. [05:49] c_nick: #chrome exists but you need password; I don't know of another [05:49] hmm ok [05:50] can't wait to have btrfs :) [05:50] that'll solve much of my filesystem problem [05:50] ext4 will go away within a year or two [05:50] darolu: i installed GCB and i wanted to add an extension .crx file [05:50] i tried with ./chrome --extension="path to .crx file" [05:50] but did not work [05:51] c_nick: I have no idea how chrome extensions work, sorry [05:51] what is more supported for Linux, Nvidia geforce 6200 256 mb or an Ati Radeon X1650 PRO 512mb [05:51] I need the tv out to work [05:51] sslaccessrocks : its saying check root =bootarg cat /proc/cmdline or missing modules , devices: cat /proc/modules ls /dev [05:51] [deXter]: Draw program did you say earlier? or Kivio? [05:51] [deXter]: might try those, thanks [05:52] dsnyders, "ls -d */" should work [05:52] dsnyders: http://embraceubuntu.com/2005/10/19/list-only-the-directories/ [05:53] dsnyders: it shows you how to list only directories using ls [05:54] elloowwwwwww [05:54] HazRPG, did you try ls -l | grep “^d” -- on my system that didn't work [05:56] did you copy and paste it? [05:56] because it's using a different type of quotation mark then the one printable from the keyboard [05:56] type it manually [05:56] anom01y, if you want TV Out i'd go with Nvidia (mind you I'd always go for Nvidia) [05:57] yeah thats what Im using now [05:57] ZykoticK9, only problem is that the stupid card has no heat sink [05:57] ZykoticK9: try typing it in manually, because copying and pasting it won't work: ls -l | grep "^d" [05:57] well it does but it has no fan [05:57] HazRPG, Read the page you linked to and you'll see all the hoops you need to jump through just to get a simple list of directories. [05:57] ZykoticK9: if you copy and paste that, it'll work [05:58] I am going to buy one and stick it on the fins [05:58] Im trying to change the port my SSH server runs on, by reconfiguring the Port directive in ssh_config. However, when I restart the server, it's still on port 22. Ideas? [05:58] HazRPG, sure enough [05:58] dsnyders: make a bash script to make it easier if you must [05:58] in windows when playing HD flash I use about 1% cpu but in Ubuntu it uses over 50%. doesn't gpu acceleration work? [05:59] dsnyders: although I never have a problem using ls by itself, it still lists all the directories, granted along with all the files too, but it still gets the job done [05:59] HazRPG, still think the "ls -d */" is much prettier without the long stuff there [06:00] whats the best compression, like .7z? I need like really good compression, i dont care how long it takes to compress really [06:00] ZykoticK9: true enough... === DIFH-iceroot is now known as iceroot [06:00] <[deXter]> rolsworth: Did you install the restricted graphic card drivers? [06:00] yep [06:01] made nop difference [06:01] doesn't seem to have gpu acceleration [06:01] rolsworth, i believe only Nvidia+vdpau give video acceleration - and i don't think it working in any browsers (might be wrong) [06:02] on windows it works [06:02] rolsworth, then i guess windows is better... lol [06:02] rolsworth: tried messing with the settings in the NVIDIA X Server Settings application? [06:03] <[deXter]> Anyways, it's high time we ditch Flash. [06:03] no [06:03] <[deXter]> Kill it I say, kill it with FIRE! [06:03] [deXter]: lol for what? [06:03] [deXter]: what would you replace it with? [06:03] html5! [06:03] [deXter]: although I kind of agree, we do need to have a similar open-source version of flash [06:03] flash isn't going any where any time soon [06:03] can anyone point me to a more 'acceptable' way to automount network shares when using a USB wireless card than adding "mount - a" to /etc/gdm/PostLogin/Default? [06:03] if you use Chromium or chrome you can use youtube html5 HD stuff! www.youtube.com/html5 [06:04] it feels a tad bit hacky === Prodego is now known as administrivia [06:04] HazRPG, Yes, it gets the job done. It's just clumsy and I can never remember the trick when I need it. Perhaps I will create a command alias after all. [06:04] <[deXter]> HazRPG: Ogg / HTML5 Video [06:04] <[deXter]> Well for videos anyways, for other stuff there's CSS [06:05] kesherwani: ok, sorry i don't know how to fix that, maybe others here might === meghan is now known as ShazbotMcNasty [06:05] [deXter]: and what are you going to make your vector animations in? [06:06] [deXter]: I can understand the change to HTML5 for video streaming... [06:06] [deXter]: but other than that... [06:10] <[deXter]> HazRPG: CSS. [06:11] the html5 on youtube much slower than flash [06:11] I installed the wasp theme from gnome look. Now I cant get rid of it. It came with an installer script, a .sh file. How do I remove it? I cant select other window borders now. :( [06:11] <_deXter_> rolsworth: It's just in a testing phase, besides it depends on a lot of factors like the browser you're using.. [06:12] <_deXter_> rolsworth: It works great for me in the latest Chromium [06:13] HTML5 Rocks [06:13] Do Dell Ubuntu laptops work when you upgrade to 9.10? [06:14] As in the proprietary drivers [06:14] Brian2898: which driver failed for you? most should transition quietly [06:15] None have failed, I am thinking about buying dell ubuntu laptop, but I see they are imaged with old version of ubuntu [06:15] why would you buy an ubuntu laptop [06:15] Brian2898: Dell sells laptops with ubuntu on them, i would look at those for those should easily allow upgrades [06:15] not like there is a price difference [06:16] rolsworth: yeah, that bothered me, that they didn't reduce the cost of windows in ubuntu laptops [06:16] waste of money [06:16] better to get that windows license. you might need it one day [06:16] they still charge users the price of windows on their laptops and give them ubuntu [06:16] They do reduce the cost of the laptop... [06:17] nope the price is basically the same [06:17] Brian2898: must be a change, last i checked their desktops (which they don't sell with ubuntu) didn't have a cost reduction [06:17] *anymore [06:17] my notification popups seem malaligned: http://imagebin.ca/view/S0bEif.html [06:18] crap, disregard. wrong pic. [06:19] http://www.dell.com/us/en/business/notebooks/vostro-v13/pd.aspx?refid=vostro-v13&s=bsd&cs=04&~ck=mn&dgc=IR&cid=dellhp&lid=rtbn4&ref=hbn [06:20] okay, here. my notification popup seems malaligned. http://imagebin.ca/view/AfjoWUM1.html [06:20] Brian2898: wow, you're right; a little slow if you ask me (took them at least a year to realize they weren't going to sell any without that cost reduction to the consumer) [06:20] ! [06:20] gsgleason: i have seen that error before, i believe an upgrade fixed it; anyone else here know? [06:20] How do I remove the titlebar fading in Metacity of unfocused windows? [06:21] sslaccessrocks: I am full up to date on 9.10 Linux greglap 2.6.31-19-generic #56-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jan 28 01:26:53 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux [06:22] torasuku: do you have desktop effects enabled? [06:22] gsgleason, yes. [06:22] <[1]spike> if i want to open a file called sources.list from linux CLI what command do i use? im in the directory [06:23] torasuku: install compizconfig-settings-manager and use if to customize everything. it must be in there somewhere. [06:23] torasuku: I don't know for a fact, but I would think it would be there if anywhere. [06:23] gsgleason, I have it installed, I've been looking through it and I don't see it. I remember seeing some gconf command on shiki-colors old Gnome-Look page, but it's not there anymore :\ [06:23] gsgleason, it's something with Metacity, rather than Compiz, if I remember correctly. [06:24] spike: sudo nano sources.list [06:24] then ctrl+o to save and ctrl+x to close without saving [06:24] torasuku: if you disable desktop effects, does it still fade? [06:24] what does the /boot/xen-3.3 binary do? [06:25] spike, use any text editor. there are many for terminal use. I like vim which is vi plus more features. a lot like emacs and some nano. [06:25] spike: be sure to backup your sources.list first (sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.backup [06:25] gsgleason, no, it doesn't fade then. [06:26] <[1]spike> thanks but i already broke it lol [06:26] <[1]spike> sources.list didnt like me typing edit sources.list [06:26] neil, what package does it belong to? apt-file search filename [06:26] man edit [06:26] read. [06:26] <[1]spike> it dissapeared but i have a file sources.list~ whats that? [06:26] Where can I get 32-bit libncursesw? [06:27] <[1]spike> yeah i just found the man command [06:27] neptunepink: maybe try http://packages.ubuntu.com [06:27] <[1]spike> but it was after i tried my msdos command [06:27] [1]spike: that is a swap file usually. [06:27] neptunepink: or you could "apt-cache search libncursesw" in terminal [06:27] <[1]spike> ok ill copy the sources.list from my fresh VM [06:27] i am having some problems where my 3g dongle internet is really slow and my network adapter also wont pick up an ip address [06:28] mixxit: in terminal, do a "sudo dhclient" to renew an ip address [06:28] everytime i boot up? [06:28] is it bad to run kde apps on gnome without using kde as your desktop manager? is there any side effects? [06:28] mixxit: its a temporary solution i know, haven't experienced 3g yet [06:28] that's for my network card problem right not my 3g problem? [06:28] Im trying to Dual boot win7 and ubuntu, installed win first and then ubuntu, same disk different partitions. Shouldnt GRUB overwrite the windows bootloader? [06:29] my 3g problem looks like its at gprs or something [06:29] mixxit: it works on any network card, it renews the ip address [06:29] its really really slow [06:29] like 1997 [06:29] the_jackdaw yes [06:29] i get an ip for my 3g just not my lan [06:29] but i will give that a go thanks [06:29] Then why does it not do that, GRUB does not start at all, windows starts instead [06:29] mixxit: that should renew the ip for both connections [06:30] torasuku: wouldnt' that mean it's something with compiz then? [06:30] can anybody tell me if Ubuntu 9.10 AMD 64 image work as 64 bit in a machine with Intel Core 2 Duo? [06:30] ok [06:30] what about the 3g connection speed? [06:30] the_jackdaw: it will if you tell it do install a boot loader. when it does, it offers a choice as to the device. [06:30] the_jackdaw: it should automatically replace the windows bootloader when you install it. [06:30] is sunbird equivalent to Google Calendar? [06:30] the_jackdaw: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows or try the grub install CD iso on https://www.auburn.edu/~farvept/ (Grub2 iso) [06:30] gsgleason, I suppose, I just seem to recall the old "gconf" line that I saw had to do with metacity :\ [06:31] mlemos: yes. [06:31] commander_: no [06:31] torasuku: gconf-editor [06:31] oh ok.it's just a stand alone [06:31] mixxit: i don't know much about 3g from experience, maybe try increasing your signal strength by repositioning? [06:31] look in apps->metacity perhaps [06:31] ah no it connects at 3.2mb a sec on windows its just something that seems to be happening in ubuntu [06:32] gsgleason, it was a whole line that you put into the terminal and it turned the opacity changing behaviour off. [06:32] gsgleason, thanks. Installing now! ;-) [06:32] gsgleason: Yea i saw that, but it still didnt work, have tried with 2 different distros, no grub when windows is installed. [06:32] mixxit: you could always try the bleeding edge 10.04, but i of course cannot recommend that for a stable operating system [06:33] it's a Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E220 HSDPA Modem / E270 HSDPA/HSUPA Modem [06:33] And also, the ubuntu installation recognize the vista during the installation, and i choose install next to it and to choose what to load during start up, but no GRUB :P.. very annoying [06:33] how do i tell what version i am on [06:33] i would prefer stable [06:33] whats the best compression, like .7z? I need like really good compression, i dont care how long it takes to compress really [06:33] hey what's the simplest way to get a mail server running that other apps on the same machine can send email through [06:34] hello what is the out come if we blacklist a module in ubuntu... [06:34] !version | Mixxit [06:34] Mixxit: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » === Nightwolf42 is now known as Nightwolf [06:34] 9.10 karmic [06:34] is that normal? [06:35] Mixxit: That is the latest release [06:35] great [06:35] seanbrystone: 7z works fine, but rar is slightly better === kelvin is now known as Guest89186 [06:35] <_deXter_> seanbrystone: Depends on what data you're trying to compress [06:35] Could someone possibly help me with my display on my HDTV? It looks like it's zoomed. [06:35] Resolution is 1920x1080 [06:35] i'd like to google on it but i get alot of other distros what is that app that sits in the top right tray that i am doing my network connections in? [06:35] _deXter_, vmware images [06:36] Mixxit: network manager ? [06:36] <_deXter_> seanbrystone: .7z then [06:36] how? [06:36] thanks [06:36] whats the package to download for .7z? [06:36] p7zip [06:36] ok thx guys [06:37] seanbrystone: or peazip for a better GUI [06:37] I normally just bzip with tar :p [06:37] cant find peazip [06:37] PinkFloyd, how would i do bzip with tar? [06:38] seanbrystone: you might have to google it and download it (its easier for beginners that use GUIs) [06:38] tar cvjf directory tarball.tar.bz2 [06:39] on command line [06:39] PinkFloyd: wow, didn't know you could bz2 from the program tar :) [06:39] ofc :p [06:39] PinkFloyd: always used bunzip [06:39] The j switch specifies bz2 [06:40] could someone walk me through rsyncing a windows share on a ubuntu box? [06:40] change the c switch to an x switch and it'll decompress it :p [06:40] PinkFloyd: isn't it "tar cvjf tarball.tar.bz2 directory" ? [06:40] !rsync | Quoexl [06:40] Quoexl: rsync is a fast remote file copy and synchronization program - For more see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rsync [06:40] It's been a while since I used it ardchoille, so possibly [06:40] ardchoille: yes [06:40] ah, ok [06:41] I get that but I dont understand the stuff on that site [06:41] mainly I want to put it in a cron [06:41] rsync service running on windows ? or ssh? [06:42] rsync running on the linux box windows using a share, smbmounting it [06:42] you need a way for rsync to access windows [06:42] I've got some samba cifs mount problems at boot, and at shutdown as well - any takers? :) [06:42] either ssh or rsync protocol itself [06:42] no I got the drive smbmounted [06:43] ok so you want to rsync the mount to to something local? [06:43] to /home/quoexl/windows [06:43] no I want it to do rsync -r /home/quoexl/windows /backup/windows in a cron [06:43] exactly [06:44] you want sync the mount to something local [06:44] here is the script I have so far [06:44] use that line in cron... i dont see an issue with it... === administrator is now known as Guest76628 [06:44] will the smbmount work in there too? [06:44] why not? given the network is up and mount is persistent ,, and mounted... [06:45] woot, thanks [06:45] I've got a bunch of samba shares in fstab - only SOME of them actually mount at startup, but a sudo mount -a works no probs - i connect via wireless [06:45] gregg, what kind of problems? [06:45] that's the startup problem [06:45] we'll take the shutdown problem after ;) [06:45] gregg: are all the shares on the same boxes? [06:45] gregg, ubuntu version? [06:45] yep [06:45] hmm [06:45] h0rnman: kubuntu karmic [06:45] you could write an init.d script that smbmounts those [06:46] why? [06:46] i just don't understand why SOME mount no prob [06:46] gregg, I'm wrestling with this one too [06:46] maybe mount options? [06:46] sheist occurs? [06:46] my line in fstab: //192.168.1.100/films\040test /home/gregg/Videos/filmstest smbfs credentials=/home/gregg/.smbcredentials,uid=1000 [06:47] i cant setteing desktop [06:47] Greyhound-: [06:47] that credentials line... [06:47] i believe is buggy [06:47] can i reinstall GRUB somehow? [06:47] i tried using it for a client,, and use a hidden file like so.... [06:47] hmm ok - workaround? [06:47] didn't work,, til i specified user,password way [06:47] gregg, try \\192.168.1.100\films\ test /home/gregg/VIdeos/filmtest cifs credentials.....blah blah [06:47] what is grub doing to you jack? [06:48] smbfs is old, buggy, and going away at some point AFAIK [06:48] that was on red hat though,, but that was my work around,,, [06:48] ok i'll try the cifs thing we'll see if that works [06:48] instead of the creds file,, i had to specify explicitly in the fstab user=,password.... [06:48] now the shutdown problem ;o) [06:48] heh k... [06:48] Quoexl, it is not starting, im trying to dualboot with win7.. and when i installed ubuntu and restarted,, grub did not start, just went into windows [06:48] remove the uid section at the end as well [06:48] I hang at shutdown - CIFS VFS: No response for cmd 50 blabla [06:48] i cant mirror my desk top then it's icon is very large please tell me how to slove this problem [06:49] sorry, outta my league [06:49] :P [06:49] i tried, tar cvjf tarball.tar.bz2 filenamegoeshere no luck [06:49] gregg sounds like you possibly have a network issue? [06:49] are you on 2 drives? did it write to the wrong mbr? [06:50] seanbrystone: i would stick with peazip then after installing 7zip [06:50] well, i have tried both with 2 disks,, and 1 disk 2 partitions [06:50] SolarisBoy: from what I can read in the forums it's a "normal" problem - there are about 50000 ways to fix it though [06:50] possibly options in samba.conf [06:50] usually ubuntu should overwrite the windows bootloader [06:51] sslaccessrocks, yeah im using Nautilus , but was kinda hoping to do it CLI way :D [06:51] anyone know how to use apturl? [06:51] well figured out what they did to fix all those wifi card issues with Atheros wifi cards.. changed the module to ath9k from ath5k it was a backport driver [06:51] helloow i cant understand what's your tallking [06:52] xD [06:52] gregg, try: ln -s /etc/init.d/umountnfs.sh /etc/rc.0/K14umountnfs.sh <-- I think this is correct syntax :) [06:52] ok - thanks h0rnman [06:52] np...also add it to /etc/rc.6/ [06:53] so you catch reboot [06:53] h0rnman: no such file or directory [06:53] i am trying to download adobe flash through apturl (10.01) (i know ubuntu+1 exists), anyone know how to work apturl? [06:53] i guess you just make one gregg [06:53] gregg, no...it should be there [06:53] !upstart [06:53] If anyone wants to read this about Atheros wifi cards: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1309605&highlight=backports+for+wifi [06:54] Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [06:54] then why the error? ;) should i sudo the command? [06:54] gregg, yes...sorry, I didn't specify [06:54] oki [06:54] h0rnman: same error [06:54] question, is anything run out of init.d inherently run as sudo? [06:54] h0rnman, gregg: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/getting-started.html [06:54] problem is upstart is using grub2 and having problems [06:55] hey [06:56] is there a way to change my ident reply? [06:56] Quoexl: all the init scripts run as root (not sudo, sudo is just a command to temporarily elevate you to superuser privileges) [06:56] yeah, I suppose you can do it that way too :) [06:57] oh, he's gone... [06:57] going to reboot see if my changes helped - brb ;) [06:58] I'm having a problem booting, grub2 is fine, kernel image is fine, init scripts run and after AppArmour profiles loaded by boot hangs - I don't get any gui [06:58] have tried reinstalling xserver-xorg, ubuntu-desktop, gdm..... hasn't fixed the problem... :( [06:59] hey, whats up with this new grub, how do i boot without splash screen and all other stuff. vga option not available anymore?

[07:00] dmesg [07:00] is it possible to sync pidgin with IndicatorApplet 0.1? [07:00] thanks for your help all, have a great week [07:01] jungleberrykid: ok seems like a weird question.. but can u tell me if i should go in for a DELL VOSTRO /New Inspiron 14 my budget is $800 bucks. since u took a new dell laptop ur view could come in handy for me .. i will be using for Work + play.. so i will use it almost daily.. even travel with it [07:01] hey, i uses ubuntu with Firefox, and some pages which based on Explorer loads with Gebrish. somebody please can help me who can am I fix it ?? [07:01] <[1]spike> were should apt packages be kept on the ubuntu install cd? [07:01] jungleberrykid: not pointing at your wifi card or internet in general if so remove it.. it will either not connect or send a loopback test to infinity [07:02] spike: under pool [07:02] I love my Dell laptop, performs really well and would pick it again if I had the choice [07:02] bleah - my samba shares still didn't mount - well, 4 out of 7 mounted, the last three didn't [07:02] jungleberrykid: which one is it [07:03] somebody here can help please ? [07:03] I can't speak at #radeon & the ubuntu community documentation is very out of date. I have an ATI radeon 3200 & I want to know what my best options are re the open source radeon driver. I believe there are several ways to get it, not sure what they are.

[07:04] <^sn00per^> sslaccessrocks : i followed the instructions on floppy2usb [07:04] ^sn00per^: any luck? [07:05] <^sn00per^> cant fingure where i went wrong [07:05] trollboy the user switcher will need reloading or a reboot will doit..... [07:05] gregg: you confirmed all the samba shares on from same windows host? [07:05] ^sn00per^: i was going to try them soon, i just put them up as a mirror yesterday [07:05] SolarisBoy: yep [07:05] <^sn00per^> it works but just not finidng the disk that it is on [07:05] SolarisBoy: and now if I run mount -a they all mount just fine [07:05] iflema, I've shut down empathy and am running pidgin now, but no love [07:06] gregg: does this same behavior occur on a wired network? [07:06] <^sn00per^> just need to point that grub to look in the external hard drive i just installed it to .. [07:06] SolarisBoy: hmm, I haven't tried that [07:06] gregg: that can happen [07:06] trollboy i didnt notice the 0.1 === Cheaser is now known as lpetrov [07:06] gregg: as i stated check the network,, try a wire for a comparison [07:06] <^sn00per^> any idea sslaccessrocks? [07:06] sslaccessrocks: ? [07:06] yoavsbg17: the quickest solution would be to install seamonkey (sudo apt-get install seamonkey), but it sounds like you are trying to open a binary file with firefox (which no internet browser supports) [07:06] SolarisBoy: ok i'll try... [07:07] cool [07:07] * iflema ive really got to stop trying to answer questions [07:07] still looking for a solution to my shutdown problem - when I've got that, i'll try wired ;) [07:07] ^sn00per^: i am not a big fan of using grub, when i need grub help, i go to the very quiet room #grub often until someone is there [07:07] I'm not getting any video, from any site.

[07:08] Can someone help... i have instaled gnome do but i dont know how to make the fansy panel apper?:( [07:08] ^sn00per^: when it can boot *.iso files using PEX emulation, then i'll support grub2 fully [07:08] SolarisBoy: i didn't change the script - he just said to do some simlinks, no? [07:08] <^sn00per^> sslaccessrocks: whats the default grub parameter on ubuntu ? [07:09] gregg: thats what you would need for the script to execute on shutdown && reboot [07:09] yoavsbg17: you could try a firefox addon, call user-agent and change it to "appear" like internet explorer [07:09] any issues w/ running xfce and gnome side-by-side? vanilla 9.10 install, just wondering which of the many xfce packages will Do The Right Thing without horking my gnome install [07:09] !grub2 [07:09] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic.

[07:09] ok thanks i'll try [07:09] ^sn00per^: i think its grub-update, do a find / -name grub to search files [07:10] gregg: your smb mount,, is it possible that its busy and write/delete many files there while its mounted? [07:10] * iflema :) [07:10] gregg: like possibly mount for music player or something that may hold onto a file? [07:10] <^sn00per^> sslaccessrocks: why i am doing this route is because i have this viao pcg-u 101 hard drive is dead, the viao is not usb bootable, just need something like floppy2usb [07:10] SolarisBoy: nope - I just shutdown without having done anything but looking at the files (not opening), same hang [07:11] SolarisBoy: hmmmmm, could amarok be doing it? My library is on a mounted partition... [07:11] My Karmic install only boots up successfully roughly half of the time. How can I try to find out what the problem is? [07:11] ^sn00per^: i went online and bought a ide to usb cable plus power adapter for $10 [07:11] gregg: yes [07:11] crap === orion_ is now known as Guest65707 [07:11] <^sn00per^> i have the usb to external hard drive [07:11] SolarisBoy: ok - i'll try shutting down amarok and see wat happens [07:11] brb [07:11] gregg: ok [07:11] ^sn00per^: you may also want to try a linux floppy to recover your files [07:11] <^sn00per^> the viao is powering the hard drive just fine but bios does not support usb booting [07:12] ^sn00per^: no, i mean it will detect the hard-drive as a thumb-drive after buying that, and it can boot from a live cd or linux floppy (that doesn't redirect floppy2usb) [07:12] my karmic install does not boot up into X and I don't get any error messages on startup, what do I do?

[07:15] ^sn00per^: what about that grub2 iso put on a floppy? [07:15] jungleberrykid: your looking at it [07:15] I've googled extensively and need some experienced support with this issue I am experiencing.. [07:15] jungleberrykid: do dmesg [07:15] ok - how do I dmesg? [07:15] sslaccessrocks: there is no support for Linux :( [07:15] lol [07:15] type dmesg in a terminal [07:15] ^sn00per^: its 1.2 MB, so it should fit on [07:16] SolarisBoy: it wasn't amarok :( [07:16] <^sn00per^> sslaccessrocks: ok does the grub2 have usb drivers [07:16] yoavsbg17: you try the firefox useragent plugin?

[07:16] SolarisBoy: i'll get there ;) [07:16] everything looks good in dmesg - no warnings, no errors... [07:16] <^sn00per^> this viao is too old to boot off a usb [07:17] gregg: [07:17] <^sn00per^> it is a pre 2000' [07:17] I've already used LiveCD and flashstick boot [07:17] sorry.. typed enter to early =) [07:17] yoavsbg17: open firefox, tools, addons, search user-agent, download plugin, restart firefox, tools, user-agent, choose internet explorer, and it will fake internet explorer to websites [07:17] gregg: what is the complete message dmesg that you see?

[07:19] emghazal: system -> preference -> encryption and keyrings (check there) [07:19] SolarisBoy: So how do I view them? [07:19] TLUL: the commands less, cat, tail usually [07:19] TLUL: they are text files [07:19] SolarisBoy: it's HUGE - hope you're patient lol [07:19] how do I determine what may be hanging my boot? [07:19] gregg: use grep [07:19] SolarisBoy: ? [07:20] SolarisBoy: Where are the files located? [07:20] jungleberrykid: dmes on console right after boot [07:20] jungleberrykid: dmesg sorry [07:20] gregg: grep -C10 'CIFS VFS' /var/log/messages .. would show 10 lines above and below each occurence of that regex.... [07:20] jungleberrykid: what was the last thing you installed or played with??? [07:20] use grep to slim out the output of everything else to see whats relevant.... [07:20] TLUL: to search for files in command line: find / -name searchterm where "/" is the location, which can be changed to say /home [07:20] klappi: yes, that's exactly what I've done, dmesg and everything looks good - no errors, no warnings, it hangs straight after the AppArmor scripts complete... [07:21] TLUL: logs go under /var/log/ [07:21] SolarisBoy: nothing [07:21] SolarisBoy: that command shows nothing at all [07:21] gregg: possibly in a different log === tremmons is now known as iflema [07:21] archboxman: I removed gdm and I also installed upstart at the same time [07:21] sslaccessrocks: man it still doesn't work, can you try to open the page and maybe its my PC problem https://admin.nite.org.il/cls.php [07:21] gregg: like debug.log or in dmesg buffer [07:21] I've re-installed gdm, ubuntu-desktop, xserver-xorg [07:22] yoavsbg17: its scrambled here too [07:22] how do I investigate what could be halting my boot? [07:22] SolarisBoy: sorry i'm not too good with log files :( [07:22] yoavsbg17: you have to install the arabic language its in to see it properly [07:22] what is scrambled ?! [07:22] grep where did you find those samba related errors? [07:22] jungleberrykid: what problems are you having? The boot is hanging sometimes? [07:22] s/grep/gregg/ [07:22] sslaccessrocks: I don't have "System -> Preferences -> encryption and keyrings", did you mean "Applicatins -> Accessories -> Passwords and Encryption Keys"? I looked there and didn't find an option to not ask for the keyring password [07:22] jungleberrykid: you running gnome"" [07:23] jungleberrykid: you running gnome?? [07:23] SolarisBoy: ??? [07:23] hello [07:23] sslaccessrocks: with internet explorer it working well [07:23] TLUL: the boot is hanging every single time - at the same place, straight after AppArmor profiles have loaded it just hangs and won't go into X [07:23] emghazal: sorry, im still on 9.04, thats where i could have checked (had the problem and google worked a while ago) [07:23] is all the new netbook 64-bit? [07:23] you showed,, this , CIFS VFS: No response for cmd 50 [07:23] right [07:23] Hi [07:23] archboxman: yes, running gnome [07:23] qgwhere did you get that? on console as you shutdown? [07:23] yoavsbg17: its not blocking firefox, firefox just needs you to install the language pack [07:23] SolarisBoy: that showed up on my screen at shutdown, hung there [07:24] Hi....... [07:24] heya [07:24] jungleberrykid: I would load in a windows manager and see if it is gnome.... even though this may be a waiste of time [07:24] pls i have sound on my speakers and headphones when the headphones are connected, how do i ensure only the headphones have sound when connected? [07:24] yoavsbg17: you can install them from here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browse/type:3 [07:24] mm so what am i need to looking for ? [07:24] ok so right.. it may be in dmesg,, you go dmesg |grep 'CIFS' === andrea is now known as Guest90870 [07:24] archboxman: ok, how would I load a windows manager in? [07:24] Can someone help... i have instaled gnome do but i dont know how to make the fansy panel apper?:( [07:24] s/go/can do/ im having a bad typing day... [07:25] need to install windows manager like flux box [07:25] SolarisBoy: nothing [07:25] dmesg | grep 'CIFS' shows nothing [07:25] gregg: grep CIFS /var/log/* [07:25] ok, I will search on flux box.... brb [07:25] SolarisBoy: would loading a windows manger be a good idea?? [07:25] can anyone tell me how reliable the ati radeon driver from the xorg-edgers ppa is? [07:25] archboxman: again? [07:26] SolarisBoy: ok that gives me a lot [07:26] indus: may you pm me [07:26] gregg: ok,, do you see the error there? [07:26] SolarisBoy: pressing the idea of jungleberrykid loading a windows manager to see if gnome is the problem ... is this a waste of time??? [07:27] archboxman: whats the problem with his window manager? whats in logs,, im not sure what the issue was [07:27] yoavsbg17: did that help you at all, i have to head out so i want to answer any further questions before I leave [07:27] pls how do i limit sound to the headphones when connected? [07:27] SolarisBoy: in syslog.1 and kern.log the same message over and over: CIFS VFS: No response for cmd 117 mid [different numbers] - and then CIFS VFS: Unexpected lookup error -11 [07:27] folks, im currently using arch, but i'm missing the software repo's from ubuntu, is there any way of building ubuntu to have it a bit snappier, but keep the usability? [07:27] how do I run a cronjob of something located in /home/name/script [07:27] sslaccessrocks: there is no package lang for Arabic [07:27] it wont execute [07:27] SolarisBoy: my karmic 9.10 install loads the kernel image fine, runs scripts and then just hangs after AppArmor profiles are loaded, no warnings, no error messages.......... and no X :( [07:28] but works properly if I just run it [07:28] SolarisBoy: not resolving the issue just proving the idea jungleberrykid loading scripts may have lead to gnome failing all at one time [07:28] navetz, gotta make sure it's executable [07:28] gregg: yes something other than amarok is holding it open... you may need to create some sort of script to kill the smb mounts and whatever processes/handles it is... better yet [07:28] gregg: try lsof, or fuser to see all whats holding the drive... [07:28] navetz, chmod u+x /home/name/script [07:28] yoavsbg17: do you know how to read arabic, if you do, the arabic ubuntu help channel would be a better place to ask [07:28] archboxman: i see [07:28] then use: crontab -e [07:29] hi guys, how to install system-integrity-check on 8.10? cant find it in synaptic... [07:29] SolarisBoy: umm, lsof is HUGE [07:29] sorry .. i don't [07:29] gregg: you need an argument [07:29] git__: it is executable, it works fine on its own, just not in crontab [07:29] but i'll try the hebrew one [07:29] SolarisBoy: never the idea of moving that fast with either hard ware or software cause a hiccup... [07:29] pls how do i limit sound to the headphones when connected? [07:29] qUaNtiC_: try the command in terminal: apt-cache search integrity [07:29] SolarisBoy: like? [07:29] archboxman: what does fluxbox replace? what does gnome normally use? [07:29] anyway thanks ! [07:30] gregg: try 'sudo fuser /path/to/smbmountwithissue' [07:30] !arabic | yoavsbg17 [07:30] yoavsbg17: For Arabic language support, please : /join #ubuntu-arabic : للحصول على الدعم باللغة العربية [07:30] navetz, pipe the execution to log to see what went wrong [07:30] <^sn00per^> *sigh* dang.. im getting run around [07:30] sslaccessrocks: it gives a lot of packages, but i did the same search in synaptic and it did give a lot there as well, but none was named system-integrity-check [07:30] fine [07:30] <[1]spike> ok does anyone know how i can add packages? to my pool/main so my apt-get can get and install them? i have modified sources.list to point to my mirror 192.168.1.2/ubuntu/ [07:30] archboxman: jungleberrykid is this a new install? [07:30] jungleberrykid: it uses different software towards that of gnome ... gnome includes its own library of tools ... and fluxbox or other windows managers use there own tools [07:31] * * * * * /home/name/script >> /home/name/file.log 2>&1 [07:31] www.search2.net [07:31] qUaNtiC_: try http://packages.ubuntu.com maybe its depreciated? [07:31] archboxman: jungleberrykid are you able to get to recovery/single user mode? [07:31] SolarisBoy: nothinb [07:31] SolarisBoy: nothing* [07:31] gregg: ok [07:31] SolarisBoy: this is not a new install, I had it working perfectly except that I could not get any tty consoles.... I uninstalled gdm and then ran into this problem... [07:31] <^sn00per^> sslaccessrocks: someone just told me to update my firmware i just gave the spec to where this dang viao is not usb bootable [07:31] SolarisBoy: no need to talk to me just jungleberrykid .... [07:31] ok [07:31] is fstab still the "proper" way to permanently mount Samba shares? [07:32] ^sn00per^: did that fix it? [07:32] git__: alright cool, what does 2>&1 mean? I've seen it before but forgot [07:32] Just in case there's a better way to do it nowadays, I haven't used Linux in ages. [07:32] <^sn00per^> no [07:32] hmm have you tried reinstalling gdm? [07:32] SolarisBoy: I am not able to get into single user/recovery mode - it hangs in the same place..... if I add 'rw init=/bin/bash' to my boot then I can get root access at the command prompt.... [07:32] SolarisBoy: I watch from the cheep sets and file in the blanks... [07:32] archboxman: =) [07:33] <^sn00per^> sslaccessrocks: no not really the netbook i have is viao pcg u101 which they do not have updates for firmware.. [07:33] <^sn00per^> and its not usb bootable .. [07:33] jungleberrykid: try that and to start networking and try to install gdm again,, [07:33] ^sn00per^: arm architecture? [07:33] SolarisBoy: I have also usccessfully booted to LiveCD, mounted the partition, run fsck on partition - files are all fine, can even mount to the partition - everything is there.... [07:33] is all i can think,, im not good with X/gui related stuff [07:33] maybe permanent mount of my samba shares using fstab is the problem??? [07:33] jungleberrykid: interesting [07:33] !arm | ^sn00per^ [07:33] gregg: or the options used... [07:34] gregg: the thing may be wireless... [07:34] <^sn00per^> no its ont a arm archieture [07:34] !armel | ^sn00per^ [07:34] SolarisBoy: have booted to root command prompt, have re-installed gdm, have re-installed ubuntu-desktop, have re-install xserver-xorg... [07:34] <^sn00per^> !arm [07:34] jungleberrykid: ok [07:34] SolarisBoy: that's what i was thinking - maybe i should be mounting AFTER fstab is loaded? like rc.0 or something?? [07:34] ^sn00per^: ok, thought u might want to check that before going further, i have to head out, if i find anything, i'll add to that auburn site [07:34] SolarisBoy: when I run 'startx' from root prompt it displays some messages which are too quick for me to read and then I get a blank screen - no X.... [07:34] jungleberrykid: that is what I don't understand that is how I make mistakes in computer builds is moving to fast [07:34] navetz, redirect standard error (STDERR) to STDOUT which is the file.log [07:35] gregg: i think thats a viable option,, wireless is up/downy by design,, you may not notice it but it can affect services... [07:35] <^sn00per^> thanks sslaccessrocks [07:35] gregg: it may be best to just mount samba manually [07:35] ^sn00per^: np, good day [07:35] jungleberrykid: those messages are in a log file [07:36] archboxman & SolarisBoy: how do I run 'startx' in verbose mode or debug mode? :) [07:36] gregg: that has to do with your wireless card and range [07:36] jungleberrykid: those messages are in X11 logs [07:36] archboxman: what do you mean exactly? [07:36] SolarisBoy: ok, I will search for that.... brb [07:36] ok [07:36] jungleberrykid: /var/log/ is the location [07:37] gregg: lspci -nnk give me wireless card and module there are some cards known to drop signal... [07:37] <^sn00per^> gregg is there other place i can go to get some help on about booting into external usb hard drive where the laptop is not usb bootable ? [07:37] I need nelp [07:37] I have a source code in perl [07:37] and I wanna know how 2 run it [07:37] navetz, do u know why people do that? One reason is because cron email STDERR, that statement redirect STDERR to a log file instead [07:38] Moat: couple ways [07:38] Moat: make it executable with chmod +x [07:38] archboxman: the output is big - what am i looking for exactly? [07:38] Moat: or run it like /usr/bin/perl
