[01:25] i dont knwo her OS [01:25] know [01:25] powertool08: tell us more [01:25] offtopic to say the least [01:25] anom01y: need ? depends on your need, some audio-items rely on it, it's jacksensing of your s-card [01:25] bigtom21485: Its how hollywood does it right? === jamalta-afk is now known as jamalta [01:26] lol prolly [01:26] powertool08: linux is the shit :-) [01:26] bigtom21485: Glad to see you like it. [01:26] powertool08: i hate windows. so how do you use visual basic to crack windows? [01:27] bigtom21485: figured it out, just needed to tweak an ALSA config file [01:27] yeah i want her naked pictures [01:27] bigtom21485: No idea, I wasn't serious. [01:27] bigtom21485: its good now [01:27] dim3000: good! :-) [01:27] is there a way I can loop through all the .deb files in a directory and install them one at a time with a single terminal command? [01:27] powertool08: I have a jabra bt620s that used to work with windows and now it doesnt work. part of the reason windows sucks. who deletes drivers for no reason? [01:28] !bluetooth | bigtom21485 [01:28] powertool08: when i connect it to my linux machine how do i tell it to send the adio to my headset? [01:28] bigtom21485: For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [01:28] Jef91: put them in script, if they are really such many [01:28] bigtom21485: From the sounds of it, Microsoft and/or Jabra [01:28] linux is a mothofocka [01:28] DasEi, I have apache2 running.. [01:28] what uses a web server ? [01:28] virtualbox ? [01:28] DasEi can't I run a for loop in bash? [01:28] What is ubuntu in spanish channel? [01:28] any one i really need to install MP4Box any ideea [01:29] Jef91: you could try something like: for i in *.deb; do gdebi $i; done [01:29] !es Guest91648 [01:29] ahh... [01:29] !es [01:29] En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [01:29] Jef91: yes, can, but not needed for that purpose [01:29] es? [01:29] what are some good ways to get invloved in linux software development? [01:29] thanks [01:30] DasEi, also I have a mail server running (postfix) ? why do I need apache2 and postfix running ? [01:30] dim3000: I've never done it but I'd guess you pick a project, go to their channel, then ask around on how you can help. === root_ is now known as Pseudoroot [01:30] anom01y: I don't know what you have installed (server kernel ?) , some apps install such things as dependencies [01:31] theres nobody on the spanish channel [01:31] dim3000: poke around the ubuntu site. There are lists of projects somewhere that need developers... [01:31] hello... im having a problem... i cant seem to be able to join the java room... "You need to identify with network services to join the room" [01:31] anom01y: Point your browser to 127.0.0.1 and see whats running on it. If it just says: "It works!" then uninstall it, you don't need it. Otherwise you should see a page with information about what program is using the webserver. [01:31] !irc [01:31] A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [01:31] a lot of networking tools add apache/postfix so maybe you installed a networking app? [01:31] !irc [01:32] mikemonk: you need to register your nick. I forget how it's done.... [01:32] mikemonk: it seems to be a trend on some channels lately, they have the channel set on mode of +R or meaning only registered can join or speak, rather lame IMO [01:32] dim3000: aquire knowledge in a programming language, then involve [01:32] Losha: thanks === nhandler_ is now known as nhandler [01:32] ok well I made a few tweeks [01:32] DasEi: i have a lot in programming :) [01:32] I am thinking of removing my 52k dialup modem [01:32] i see... where do i register? [01:32] mikemonk: send a message to nickserv: /msg Nickserv, you can register there. [01:32] Typos_King: cuts down on spam artists.... [01:32] how big is the Ubuntu 64 once it's installed? Im hoping a 4 gig usb stick is enough? [01:32] DasEi: just trying to put it to good use [01:33] Does somebody uses icrak? [01:33] !memtest [01:33] hmm [01:33] how do I get / use memtest ? [01:33] dim3000: #ubuntu-offtopic for chatter, #ubuntu-motu might be a waay, or look around on launchpad [01:34] thanks powertool08 [01:34] anom01y: sure, karmic ? [01:34] Losha: how many does this channel has since isn't +R? none that I can assess, is it effective or just plain miscalculated measure? I care to think is the latter [01:34] mikemonk: np [01:34] DasEi, yeah xubuntu 9.10 [01:34] anom01y: google it, basically you select it during bootup and then just let it run... [01:34] ok [01:34] cuts down on traffic really [01:35] Typos_King: we have problems with spammers from time to time. In fact, when the ops aren't around, it's amazing how quickly it can go downhill... [01:35] I just really get annoyed / frustrated, and also dissapointed when I wake up and my computer is frozen [01:35] anom01y: when grub starts, press left shift (or esc), then choose memtest instead of a kernel, we can alter a grub setting for that being easier [01:35] and then my windows XP computer beside it is still running [01:35] What kind of sofware do they use to work on pixar? [01:36] Losha: being there, done that, it has happened on other places where I've been +o, you set the channel for 10mins on +R, but no permanently, otherwise you also shut the door to many non-reged nicks, which is ludricuous [01:36] DasEi, I even tried killing firefox before I go to bed and it still freezes [01:36] anom01y: but to get usefull results, this takes a time to complete, so let's have the other 'cuties done before [01:36] now, I am thinking of logging out before bed time [01:36] how big is the Ubuntu 64 once it's installed? Im hoping a 4 gig usb stick is enough? [01:37] see if it freezes when logged out [01:37] Im trying to get jpeg support for imagemagick with ubuntu 9.04, ive installed/reinstalled libjpeg62 and imagemagick from apt and source, but when i type "identify -list format" jpeg doesnt show up in the list [01:37] ok, well I ran that BUM program, turned off pulseaudio [01:37] anom01y: bum checked ? cpuburn ? also no bios setting fubared ? (energy saving and such) [01:37] what is going to be new on ubuntu 10.4? [01:37] not sure what bios settings would be fubarred, I disabled onboard audio [01:37] Typos_King: well, it's not my place to tell someone else how to run their irc channel. If I don't like it, I can always start my own, or petition the owners to change their policy (good luck with that, btw) [01:37] !lucid | Guest91648 [01:37] Guest91648: 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 [01:38] DasEi, energy saving should be on or off ????? [01:38] anom01y: as we go after your seldom freezing, off for now [01:38] Anyone around who may be familiar with using ext3grep? [01:38] anom01y: open a fullscreen terminal and run "top" in it, disable any screensaver type stuff. Top lists the most resource hungry apps in realtime, when its frozen, the top app is probably the culprit. [01:38] how big is the Ubuntu 64 once it's installed? Im hoping a 4 gig usb stick is enough? [01:39] Any opinions on which laptop is better: Dell or Toshiba? [01:39] anom01y: Also, do this at the end of the night before bed if you didn't get the implied time frame. [01:39] powertool08, NICE [01:39] toshiba [01:39] seanbrystone: will do, though not much left, ~2,7 a standard install, I can size it down to 1 gig, too [01:39] can anyone help me figure out why I can't get ssh keys work on my server but, they work on my laptop [01:39] powertool08: worth a try, but in my experience, most hangs are due to bad memory and/or weak power supplies.... [01:39] thank you nice tip powertool08 [01:40] Losha: I dont' disagree on that, nor do I follow the policy once enforced, in fact I eved had a chat with ircops on this network, and they gave a bunch of runarounds about server issues, which were insatisfactorily, the sole reason I'm here is cuz is not +R, once it becomes so, I just don't comply and go to other network [01:40] Losha, I have a 500w power supply [01:40] who here got google-chrome working? [01:40] I do [01:40] not sure what the current draw is, I was thinking of using my clamp on ammeter to calculate the wattage [01:40] mcurran, i'm sure many people have. do you have a question? [01:40] Losha: True. [01:41] why is ubuntu the best os? [01:41] Yes: I get this right after start/crash - NSS_VersionCheck("3.12.3"). We depend on NSS >= 3.12.3 [01:41] Trace/breakpoint trap [01:41] Guest91648, ask in #ubuntu-offtopic [01:41] anyone here know sshd ? [01:41] DasEi, ok I will turn power saving off [01:41] I already have libnss3-dev and others [01:41] DasEi, ok ty [01:41] I already have in Xubuntu's settings [01:41] anom01y: it's not the size, some psus put out a lot of ripple, or the voltage isn't constant under load, particularly as they get old... [01:41] anyone know how to enable wlan0 on ubuntu 9.10 ? [01:41] !ask | rgenthner [01:41] rgenthner: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [01:42] Linux Mint is the best OS [01:42] rgenthner: Are both pc's using linux or is one windows? [01:42] Can anyone tell me what this shortcut bar is? (on the bottom) http://gnome-look.org/content/preview.php?preview=1&id=120409&file1=120409-1.jpg&file2=120409-2.png&file3=&name=Karmic+Lucy+D. [01:42] wirechief - what do you mean enable [01:42] yeah they both are using ubuntu 9.10 ones 64bit and one is 32bit [01:42] do you have the driver installed for wlan [01:42] mcurran i installed ndiswrapper but am not seeing wlan0 [01:42] screw ndiswrapper it sucks [01:43] rgenthner: and you copied the public key to the authorized_keys file on both? [01:43] well i would but the driver doesnt work. [01:43] some graphical html app for ubuntu? [01:43] so i guess you dont have an answer [01:43] type "lscpi | grep '802.11'" [01:43] ryan___: Looks like awn to me. [01:43] tell us what is says [01:43] hi [01:43] powertool08: yeah the I copied each key to the other one [01:43] powertools08: Ok, thanks [01:43] wlan0 is not showing in iwconfig [01:43] I can go from my desktop to my laptop, but not my laptop to desktop [01:44] wirechief: type the command I told you and paste the output here [01:44] hallo anyone around? [01:44] i'mlooking for some assistance [01:44] rgenthner: try adding the verbose switch, ssh -vv [01:44] if you use dhclient wlan0 you get a error [01:44] rgenthner: It should tell you which step fails. [01:44] My start rc.local script too set default cpu speed dont work ? /etc/rc.local "cpufreq-selector -g powersave" [01:44] again, does anyone know anything ablout bluetooth [01:44] DOES ANYONE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT BLUUETOOTH? [01:44] wirechief: lscpci | grep "802.11" [01:45] bigtom21485- No === jrock is now known as JRock2012 [01:45] powertool08: debug2: we did not send a packet, disable method [01:45] hi, how do i kill a process from a terminal within a certain time? like when i do "shutdown -h +10" which means shutdown the pc in 10 mins. is there something similar for a process? like "killall firefox +10" ? (this one doesnt work :)) [01:45] looking for recommendation on some good time tracking tool for system adminitrators .. any suggestion? [01:45] qUaNtiC_ poweroff [01:45] rgenthner: Can you paste all the output to pastebin.com? [01:45] powertool08: i tried that website but my command prompt is telling my my commands are invalid' very frustrating, linux is supposed to WORK [01:45] i have a friend with ubuntu on his usb stick [01:45] sure can [01:46] mcurran: could u be more specific? [01:46] and when he boots off the usb stick, he can't see other files on the usb [01:46] bigtom21485: I'm no good with that, look at : [01:46] why is this? [01:46] qUaNtiC_: sleep 60 && killall process? [01:46] !bluetooth [01:46] For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [01:46] DasEi: I did, but it doesnt work [01:46] bigtom21485: ? Where did you ever get that idea? It doesn't "just work" however it can do anything. [01:46] qUaNtiC_ poweroff (shutsdown pc) reboot (restarts pc) [01:46] it says my commands are invalid when i copy them striaght from the website [01:46] qUaNtiC_: not really. You can use the 'at' command, or you can run a script that sleeps & then kills [01:46] type poweroff in terminal to shutdown without recovery console [01:46] mcurran: that only works for turning off the pc. He wants to kill a particular process... [01:46] powertool08: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/5F9AZ9Xg [01:46] mcurran: that is not what i asked... [01:47] oh [01:47] mcurran looks like i will have to wait, its in the middle of another operation, it just seems that something is needed to configure wlan0, perhaps it needs alias wlan0 ndiswrapper [01:47] Losha: could you give me more details plz [01:47] How do I set the default cpu government ? [01:47] anybody use dvbcut? i get an error message saying "the chosen file *** contains no video" anybody come across the before? [01:47] qUaNtiC_: the 'at' command will run an arbitrary command at the time you specify. Start with 'man at'... [01:47] wirechief: If you tell me what wireless card/chip your using, you might not need to use ndiswrapper. Ndiswrapper works usually, but you won't have injection or monitor mode. [01:48] kk [01:48] rgenthner: K, I'm looking at it [01:48] powertool08: thanks [01:48] DasEi, ok [01:48] bigtom21485: some cmd's are outdated, but most of them still fine [01:48] computer just froze [01:48] I just reset it [01:48] wirechief: what chipset do you have in your wireless adapter? [01:48] anom01y: vary grub to easier access grub shell ? [01:48] so i set up samba using the guide, and everything seems to be in order, but it doesn't tell you how to setup anyone on the windpows end, what are you supposed to do? === rgenthner is now known as moos3_ [01:49] Losha: but i guess "sleep 10 && killall process_name" will be ok [01:49] anything* [01:49] anom01y: ahahrr, syslog ! [01:49] qUaNtiC_: definitely the simplest way.... [01:49] mcurran its a belkin N wireless usb network adapter ID 050d:815f Belkin Components Realtek RTL8192SU [F5D8053 N Wireless USB Adapter v6000] [01:49] i still wonder [01:49] sixofour - why don't you just setup a server - it's a lot easier than samba shares [01:49] are there any drivers for asio? [01:49] unless you wanna go both ways [01:49] i don't know whaqt that is lol [01:49] i jsut need to copy lots of data from a windows to a linux laptop [01:50] can i get malware fo downloading pon [01:50] porn [01:50] and? [01:50] DasEi, ok yeah Its running I belive [01:50] anom01y: so prbly a solveable problem, don't you the cars that only make strange noises, but not in the garage ?? hehe [01:50] Losha: im a bit tired now, but surely ill give a look to the AT command u were tellin me about [01:50] thanks bye [01:50] know* [01:50] why they run windows as root? [01:50] iditos run windows as limited admin, its easy to set that up [01:50] I occasionally need AcrobatReader in Karmic AMD64 ad I am joined to a domain. When I do Acroread in a terminal it says: "(acroread:3315): GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (595592439)" - One other hint is that the plugin in firefox brings pdf's up in a new tab for just a second but then it disappears and leaves a white screen. I think the issue is that my user id is too high, because I'm a domain user. Any s [01:50] wirechief try downloading jockey and then see if it detects a good proprietary driver for your card, that would be the best option. [01:51] DasEi, what next ? [01:51] Anyone familiar with getting a static IP from a Linksys router? It reset and assigned a different IP to my desktop/server, and I'd like to prevent that from happening next time. [01:51] wirechief: what chipset do you have in your wireless adapter? what does lspci shows for it? [01:51] where is songbird? its not in the repo as songbird [01:51] DasEi, I am starting the think its my PSU [01:51] hi, I am trying to get a perl program to run and i am having trouble. I am on an xubuntu sys. [01:51] run firefox in a sandbox and explorer.exe in a sandbox [01:51] whats the best soundcard available that works on linux for listening to music [01:51] powertool08: nothing jumps out at me with the debug [01:51] GSF1200S: any? [01:51] GBGames: its easy. go to your router's configuration page [01:51] anom01y: pastebinit /var/log/syslog [01:51] hi [01:51] GBGames - setup a dns rule for the host name or make a static NAT [01:51] so you get rid of that crap if you want instrall something use runas.cmd admin and type the installer.exe [01:51] anom01y: psu can watch in bis, too (hardwaremonitor) [01:51] mcurran i know the adapter works with ndiswrapper on another debian distro Typeos_King its a USB adapter see the specs ^^ [01:51] bios [01:52] adambuntu, songbird isn't in the default repo. there is a daily build PPA [01:52] moos3_: Me either, although its sending 3 different keys... [01:52] so i set up samba using the guide, and everything seems to be in order, but it doesn't tell you how to setup anyone on the windpows end, what are you supposed to do? [01:52] bigtom21485: It may be that my old Belkin made this easier, but I couldn't find an obvious way to do it with my Linksys one. [01:52] sixofour: well, I know that not ALL soundcards work, so I dont want to get one that doesnt. Im talking the clearest output for great sound with great speakers [01:52] ZykoticK9, do i need to edit my sources.lst? [01:52] yeah I have a dsa key for work, and a rsa key for personal [01:52] adambuntu, are you using Karmic? === nhandler_ is now known as nhandler [01:52] ZykoticK9, yep [01:52] wirechief - if you don't want my advice then good luck with ndiswrapper... [01:52] hi, I am trying to get a perl program to run and i am having trouble. I am on an xubuntu sys. [01:52] Is a 128bit wireless pass phrase 10 digits or more or less typically? [01:52] I need a channel where the admins talk =) [01:52] GSF1200S: its propbably to google for cards that don't work then [01:52] but i think linux has it covered [01:53] anom01y: I suggest we try cpu burn now, then alter grub for memtest [01:53] powertool08: maybe I'll shit can my .ssh and start over [01:53] moos3_: Try the same command on the other pc and compare the differences. [01:53] sixofour: cool [01:53] k [01:53] GBGames: check out ddclient and DynDNS (Dynamic DNS Free) [01:53] only issues with sound is how the systemsn actually work, not the quality [01:53] moos3_: Or that :) [01:53] hello, friends, i have 3 partitions, the ext4, the swap and one fat32, I want to erase and add the space of the fat32 to the ext4, is that possible? [01:53] ok just getting that pastebin [01:53] adambuntu, "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:songbird-daily/ppa" then "sudo apt-get update" then you should be able to install songbird :) [01:53] mcurran: Help me with expectations. If I google those terms, will I find a solution quickly or will I find that I am going to learn everything I ever would want to know about networking? B-) [01:53] http://pastebin.ca/1807622 [01:53] mcurran well if your advice would make it work that would be great. I am trying to get it to work under ubuntu 9.10 but havent had any luck, the driver for it appears to be included but it doesnt start the wireless adapter [01:53] DasEi, http://pastebin.ca/1807622 [01:53] can one of you let me know when you are done?

[02:00] hi, I am trying to get a perl program to run and i am having trouble. I am on an xubuntu sys. [02:00] Typos_King: I know the firmware i have works, it works on another debian distro that i got the belkin working on, ubuntu 9.10 is missing some key configuration yet.. [02:00] k [02:01] i need help to get a perl program to run. [02:01] I know there is some settings prompt thing, but I can't find it. [02:01] JCDG: that's possible, temporaly you will have to remove swap, too, so you can put the free space next to sda2. then you create a new /boot in that unallocated and use it there, then can kill running sda2 and at it to your root [02:01] hallo i have a problem with rsync [02:01] rsync -rcvuz --progress user@yyyyyy-xxxxx.com:public_html/SHOPS/ /var/www/html [02:01] Are the repos going slow for anybody else? [02:01] Typos_King: sorry that machine is currently doing a DD to another partition (im making a complete backup) [02:01] add it [02:02] wirechief: DD? [02:02] yep [02:02] powertool08: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/rTV68Xxt http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/dvGEfHPv [02:02] DasEi, uhmm sounds complicated...is tehere a way by booting from a flash usb?

[02:03] eric_3: commonly called data destroyer [02:03] powertool08: once agian thats with both keys [02:03] wirechief: thx [02:03] JCDG: easiest to do so is using a live cd, and have in mind that the uuids of fstab and grub change, too then [02:03] JCDG: usb does same job as live cd [02:04] eric_3: i use it to backup my 15gb partitions to a larger 100gb partition,gives me a life raft if i screw the distro up [02:04] how can i let dpkg -i automatically install deps pkgs? [02:04] DasEi, yeabh it does, but...How will tahta work if I don't want to lose any data? [02:04] how can i manualy adjust volume with cmd line? [02:04] moos3_: Just in case you don't know, when you get it working you should disable the password login and root login in the sshd_config, a passphrase on the key is a good idea (need the keyfile and a password). [02:04] powertool08: I find this really odd that I can't connect [02:04] sonicrules1234, switch your mirror System / Admin / Software Sources [02:04] moos3_: Try using the identity file. [02:04] Ok [02:05] powertool08: theres not a identity file [02:05] JCDG: that's possible, exept any data on that fat32, little tricky and nothing for the 9th hour after desk [02:05] moos3_: Trying private key: /home/rgenthner/.ssh/identity [02:06] powertool08: i know but theres not a file in there [02:07] DasEi, I mean any data from the ext4, not the fat32, I don't care if it goes to nothing XD... [02:07] How could I change icons in my PLACES menu from the top panel? [02:07] powertool I'm going to shit can my .ssh dir and try regening [02:07] ZykoticK9: I can't find it, do they have that in jaunty? [02:07] moos3_: Ok [02:08] JCDG: farout possible, but as always, there is a risk, like just a typo, at a small disk like this, a backup medium not the badest idea [02:09] powertool08: still no go [02:09] wtf!

[02:12] moos3_: Of course not, the new public key isn't on the remote server yet. [02:12] wallshot, you should select the server closest to you [02:12] the sshd_config is the same on both [02:12] and I did ssh-copy-id belfast [02:12] form castine so I'm not sure why its not working [02:13] oooh... yah i'm using the ones ubuntu installed with [02:13] anom01y: your syslog as my grey eyes follow them is alright, you still run kdm, there is a respawn timed out, might come from that disk, though, apart from /tmp see: [02:13] !trash [02:13] seems it did finally finish... after several minutes of waiting for headers [02:13] The location of Trash has changed since 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash [02:13] moos3_: Are you physically at the ssh server?

[02:14] i set up samba on my linux laptop, how do i find this machine with my xp computer? [02:14] madjoe: do you mean add/remove items or actually just change the icons for the existing entries? [02:15] sixofour: Network Places in windows [02:15] its not there [02:15] moos3_: Ok, cat id_rsa.pub >> .ssh/authorized_keys [02:15] sixofour: ifconfig on linux-box > get ip , ping from windows [02:15] form my laptop to desktop? [02:15] sixofour: if it doesn't have the same workgroup as the windows box, you may have to browse further up the tree, but you can also just use \\ipaddress\ from windows [02:15] moos3_: then restart sshd, then copy id_rsa to the remote computer [02:15] gsgleason: when I click at the Places menu from the top panel, I'd like to see my custom icons for Music, Documents, Videos, etc. [02:15] sixofour, are then in the same workgroup? "grep workgroup /etc/samba/smb.conf" < look mom no cat (sorry joke from yesterday) [02:16] yes same workgroup [02:16] lol [02:16] gsgleason: I've heard it has been changed with 9.10 so it's doable, but I don't know how... I guess it was not that easy in previous releases of Ubuntu [02:16] sixofour: make sure they're in the same subnet, samba share is accesible ( is there a command to see my linux machines local ip?

Will ubuntu server detect it? [02:24] sixofour: i've seen machines that can ping fail to connections in both directions before when one of the two machines had a bad netmask... if you're using dhcp through a router or something that shouldn't happen, but you may wanna make sure same netmask is on both machines [02:24] one guy said my wifi card is BCMXXX [02:24] most is atheros i think [02:24] broadcum === sudo is now known as MOO [02:24] ok thats easy [02:25] fwcutter [02:25] anom01y: ( a full disk freezes sys) [02:25] wallshot how do i do that?

[02:27] sixofour: the router should be giving out the same netmask to every dhcp client, so that's almost certainly not an issue if you didn't manually set that value yourself [02:27] kaz00, typically you just need to install ubuntu-restricted-extras and you're golden [02:27] @meowagi [02:27] u want me to copy the bin file?

[02:30] copy the firmware into the dir [02:30] sixofour: in a windows shell, you can "telnet 139" ... and it -should- connect, and then sit there doing nothing ... but i suspect it will get stuck trying to connect instead, and eventually timeout after a few minutes [02:30] and modprobe [02:30] i have the plugin installer onboard alreaddy [02:30] maybe your hp hasa wireless hotkey [02:30] and the nonfree [02:30] anom01y: guis up ? [02:30] check if you need a wireless hk [02:30] sixofour: if telnet -does- connect, you will want to hit Control-] (right square bracket) to escape out of telnet to prompt, then type quit to quit the telnet program [02:30] Hello there. I have a machine that's running Ubuntu 8.04.1. It has an ATI Radeon 7200 (All In Wonder) graphics card. Said card has numerous video inputs and outputs, such as RCA-type. Can I get some help with setting up TV-out? [02:31] wallshot i see a blinking underscore... [02:31] thats its [02:31] lol [02:31] sixofour: it'll basically test ability of windows box to make a very basic tcp connection to port 139 (smb) on the linux box [02:31] Strife89: I'm goging tired, but for that can use the propitary ati-driver from their homepage , it compiles on that xorg [02:31] Strife89, i doubt the ATI drivers will support TV out (i could be wrong haven't used ATI in YEARS) [02:32] sixofour: did it clear the window so you don't see the stuff you'd typed prior to connecting? [02:32] DasEi, computer froze.... again... [02:32] ZykoticK9: they do, quite lousy though (composite) [02:32] yes wallshot [02:32] I think my PSU is SOL [02:32] sixofour: then it was able to actually connect (hit control-] for prompt then type quit to exit telnet) [02:32] blank screen with ablining underrscore [02:32] DasEi, thanks -- i'd say "good to know" but as it's ATI it's already left my brain ;) joking thanks man [02:32] which means windows should be able to get to \\\ [02:32] so whats the equ of adobe reader for ubuntu, or is it adobe reader for linux [02:32] DasEi: Ah, can I get a link to some instructions? [02:33] anom01y: did you have cpuburn running alreaddy ?

[02:34] sixofour: it sounds like there should be nothing blocking windows from hitting your samba shares.... i'd check for typos in your attempt to run "\\192.168.1.12\" [02:34] ok ty .. xpdf, evince or Acroread .... is one recommended over the other ?

[02:35] where? [02:35] kaz00 kk thanks [02:35] sixofour: Start -> Run, "\\ipaddress\" [02:35] oooh [02:35] DasEi, ? [02:35] that amkes sense [02:36] :D [02:36] but don't browsers work also? [02:36] it'll probably work in IE, but not firefox... it's not a standard feature of web browsers [02:36] however, some support a smb://ipaddress/ url format [02:36] firefox has an option to compile with support for it, though i'm not sure if ubuntu's firefox package has that feature [02:36] lol [02:36] RainbowDonut, if you want to install 32bit libs on a 64bit system get "getlibs" - linked from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=474790 then you can either automatically get the 32bit library or manually install them - VERY handy for 64bit systems! [02:36] DasEi, you still awake ??? [02:37] wallshot, i am trying to connect the win to the linux right? [not the other way] [02:37] DasEi: Hmm, the home page doesn't appear to list my card model. :/ [02:37] sixofour: but i'm not sure firefox for windows will ever support it, since the support is based on gfs i think [02:37] anom01y: sure, have to read a little [02:37] sixofour: right [02:37] i typed that command into run, and its just showing the mouse with a timer [02:37] DasEi, ahh k no probs [02:37] DasEi: Unless lspci is giving me the wrong number...... [02:37] "the network path not found" [02:37] ZykoticK9, I'll take a look, thank you. :) [02:37] sixofour: i wasn't thinking right when i mentioned that about ubuntu firefox build [02:37] DasEi, I am still going to replace the PSU [02:37] ugh, wrong ip [02:37] anom01y: go with 5 first [02:37] i did 158 not 168 [02:38] anom01y: and idle, not full load [02:38] its asking for a user and pass wallshot [02:38] sixofour: the biggest advantage of smb is that you don't need something like a web browser to view the contents because the OS's filesystem-browser supports the protocol [02:38] sixofour: then that depends on how you have samba's security setup [02:38] oh hey, it worked [02:38] time to xfer some files [02:38] see if they btransfer [02:39] win [02:39] now i can go home happy! [02:39] RainbowDonut, i'm downloading the demo of x-plane 9 right now [02:39] yes wallshot it worked! [02:39] wincest indeed [02:39] congratz. =) 'nite all [02:39] wow [02:39] bye [02:40] file transfer speeds are 839679485gb/s [02:40] RainbowDonut, i'm getting the same thing "error while loading shared libraries: libopenal.so.0" [02:40] ZykoticK9, I think I might've found a solution while poking in Synaptic and checking for OpenAL again. [02:41] can someone please help me setup sftp so other computers on my network can access files on my main computer? [02:41] ZykoticK9, yeah, package named libopenal1. What can it hurt. I'll give that a shot, if it doesn't work I'll get back to you. :c Sorry to bother you. [02:41] evon: what part are you having trouble with [02:41] anom01y: we didn't install the gui, burnP6 on two trmls, give it a few minutes like five, either cpu or psu weak > freeze [02:41] RainbowDonut, it's already installed on my system - not working... [02:42] blackkheim: the connecting to my host computer part. [02:42] evon: did you open the correct port? [02:42] !tab | evon [02:42] evon: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [02:42] Strife89: there where even debs for it, they will be somewhere on the net [02:43] DasEi, ok no probs [02:43] I will run that just cleaning up the HD a little first [02:43] DasEi: I'm conducting Google searches, but help would be great if you've got the time. :) [02:44] anom01y: gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub [02:44] ok [02:44] blackkheim: I have no idea. someone before simply told me to install sftp and then told me what my host name was and I was able to go to places->connect to server, enter the info and that was it [02:44] s/gksudo gedit/sudo vi [02:44] blackkheim: but that's not working this time [02:44] DasEi, no such file [02:45] evon: sftp is part of openssh-server, you must have been using regular ftp or ftp tunneled through ssl ("ftps") [02:45] RainbowDonut, fixed part 1 - think part 2 is a deal breaker though... wanna PM me? [02:45] anom01y: grub --version [02:45] Check your spelling. :) [02:45] DasEi, 0.97 [02:45] anom01y: I see, so no default, then : [02:45] is there anything that can be done for "error while loading shared libraries: libartsc.so.0" on Karmic? [02:45] blackkheim: yes i believe that was it [02:45] DasEi, well I can just try the cpuburn thing [02:45] anom01y: gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [02:46] anom01y: o, you hadn't already ? [02:46] !find libartsc.so.0 [02:46] DasEi, no [02:46] Package/file libartsc.so.0 does not exist in karmic [02:46] I didn't run the cpuburn [02:46] !find libartsc.so [02:46] Package/file libartsc.so does not exist in karmic [02:47] Dr_Willis, arts is the old sound manager from KDE i believe [02:47] ZykoticK9: looks like that lib is not in the repos. use the source ,or find a ppa and install it [02:47] DasEi, what am I going to do in menu.lst ??? [02:47] anom01y: burnP6 in two trmls, let it sit for some minutes ( and any freeze , errr.. [02:48] Dr_Willis, i think installing the entire aRts thing is a huge undertaking - its a lot more then just one library [02:48] anom01y:(menu.lst) : timeout =8 [02:48] anom01y (menu.lst) : timeout =8 [02:48] blackkheim: any ideas? [02:48] ZykoticK9, yeah, didn't work for me either [02:48] DasEi, add timeout=8 to the end ??? [02:49] ZykoticK9: your questiion impled that the program just wanted that specifc version - But if its some sort of sound tool. it may want more then just that. You may get that artc lib installed.. then it may want a different lib.. and so on and so on [02:49] RainbowDonut, did you manage to fix the first error? [02:49] anom01y: when system starts up, saying grub loading, hit esc > memtest ( for later then) [02:49] ahh [02:49] k well no problem there [02:49] If lspci is to be believed, my graphics card is not on this page. http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Paages/index.aspx [02:49] I will try the cpuburn first [02:49] DasEi, should I close xchat ?? [02:49] My card: "01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon R100 QD [Radeon 7200]" [02:49] Dr_Willis, yup - was wondering if anyone had actually gotten it working -- ran into this the other day trying to install UT2004-64bit demo and after searching the net for an hour or so gave up [02:49] anom01y: it's in the head section timeout 8 [02:50] Strife89: or else its under a similer name/chipset [02:50] ZykoticK9, not yet [02:50] anom01y: don't forget to save menu.lst [02:50] ZykoticK9: old games using old sound system/libs are a probolem. Not a lot to do about it that i know of. [02:50] DasEi, ok no prob that is done already [02:50] RainbowDonut, i can give you the step to correct the first error - but the next one is more complicated [02:51] Hm? [02:51] Dr_Willis, thanks! [02:51] DasEi, does xterm work as a 'terminal' or should I use ctrl-alt-f1 & f2 ??? [02:51] anom01y: yees, close uneeded apps before cpuburn [02:51] Dr_Willis: I haven't the slightest idea how to find the best match/ [02:51] xterm, rgualr trml [02:51] ZykoticK9: i got some older. 10+ yr old linux games. :) i doubt if they would work either. heh [02:51] Hi folks. I have 9.04 on one drive and 9.10 on another. I crashed the 9.10 system and would like to recover my /home and copy to the 9.04 drive. It is encrypted because I was dumb. How do I log into that drive? [02:51] DasEi: typing problems much? [02:51] Strife89: tell the channel the card. and what lspci says it is. [02:51] I'm in a bit of a spot with this one. [02:51] bob3 you mean ubuntu 9.10? [02:51] My card: "01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon R100 QD [Radeon 7200]" [02:52] RainbowDonut, download libopenal0_0.2005080600-2.1build2_i386.deb from http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/i386/libopenal0/download then install it with "sudo getlibs -i libopenal0_0.2005080600-2.1build2_i386.deb" then try the game again and you'll get the new error [02:52] blakkheim: tippi for my bavis n .. buzzhead , y [02:52] Dr_Willis: See above. [02:52] DasEi, ok I have two of them running [02:52] they are not doing anything [02:52] Strife89: err... did you just state you are looking for an ATI card on the nvidia pages? [02:52] well they probably are, but there is no output [02:52] Dr_Willis: Not at all. [02:53] * Dr_Willis rereads the history.. [02:53] anom01y: they do, just let them sit and see if it crashes the sys for some minutes [02:53] ok [02:53] Dr_Willis: This is the page: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Paages/index.aspx [02:53] Strife89: i dont use ati any more. Its bery possible the card is not supported by ati for linux. [02:53] What is the new error, out of curiosity? [02:54] DasEi, well I cleaned up the HD also, its now around 80% [02:54] anom01y: open a third trml htop > they do [02:54] DasEi, why would 96% freeze the computer ??? [02:54] I thought it was 99% [02:54] RainbowDonut, error while loading shared libraries: libartsc.so.0 [02:54] Dr_Willis: If that's the case, then .... Well, I'm screwed. [02:55] DasEi, burnP6 is using 99% cpu [02:55] Or at least my project is. [02:55] anom01y: /tmp >> psad, the fs can't recover itself from that, no more disk reads/writes possible then [02:55] Strife89: i often found that the case with ATI cards. thats one of the many reasons i dont use any ati any more [02:55] anom01y: that's the nothing they do on both cores [02:55] ok cool [02:55] well so far so good [02:55] I think the HD was just full [02:55] Strife89: If its a very NEW card - the newer reelases of the drivers might include them. If its an old card. then the open drivers might support them. (now or in a newer version) [02:56] DasEi, I also read something about setting Also's power save mode to 'off' [02:56] DasEi, in /etc/init.d/alsabase or something like that [02:56] anom01y: that is most likely, next step will be memtest, bios setting (suspend) or faulty drivers (like the modem card or graphics) [02:56] is there any way to make a folder require root access to view or handle it? [02:57] Dr_Willis: It's an old card, from around ~2000, I think. [02:57] sixofour: yes [02:57] The machine wasn't originally mine. [02:57] DasEi: how? [02:57] sixofour: sudo chown -R root /your/folder/here [02:57] and all subfolders and files are locked aswell? [02:57] yes [02:57] DasEi, how long does this run for ?? do I have to kill it manually ?? [02:57] please someone help me, i;m getting a segmentation fault. I know where its coming from, but i dont understand why [02:58] check out the code [02:58] http://codepad.org/rcxrAksD [02:58] thanks in advance [02:58] and, DasEi, will it detect a faulty PSU ?? [02:58] Dr_Willis, DasEi: Thanks for the input, I'm off to bed. :-) [02:58] anom01y: 5 to 10 min, should, that's quite a stress on the sys, forcing all lines of the psu [02:59] DasEi, because at night I am not running anytthing [02:59] anom01y: called error searching [02:59] ah, so DasEi i pretty much have to access it via a terminal? [02:59] I am wondering if someone is flooding my computer at night (like a hacker) [02:59] because I am into all this wacky conpsiracy stuff I was thinking the illuminati was after me [03:00] lol [03:00] sixofour: only root can do that, can also dissallow viewing from other accounts [03:00] anom01y: what signs show that someone could be trying to hack you? [03:00] how do i disallow view? [03:00] also, if i "kdesu dolphin" then i can view it right? [03:00] well just flooding my ssh service or the apachi or mail server that where running [03:00] could that not freeze the computer ? [03:00] RainbowDonut, i got it! wasn't so bad after all [03:00] (I know nothing of this matter) [03:01] anom01y: change your ssh port to something other than 22 and almost all the automated attempts will stop [03:01] anom01y: tomorrow your grub has a banner telling you my paypal, hehe [03:01] anom01y: apache, on the other hand, you're just going to have to live with it unless you temporarily disable the daemon [03:02] has anyone had any luck runny ubuntu as a fileserver authenticating agains AD? [03:02] anom01y: was the full disk the system disk ? well I assume so, /tmp, that's a very likely reason, not seen the first time [03:03] DasEi, yeah I cleaned it up === zz_FeiRuoWa is now known as FeiRuoWa [03:03] can I kill the burnP6 ? [03:03] hi [03:03] can anybody help me install flash player in firefox [03:03] ZykoticK9, o: how? [03:03] offtopic [03:03] anom01y: so for now bios settings and memtest are still open, next would be checking pci cards [03:04] anom01y: yes, ctrl -c in both trmls [03:04] DasEi, ok well I removed a tv-tuner card [03:04] Usuario_Mex, go into Synaptic, look for flash, and see if anythign for flash plugin is around there, you might have to read the package descriptions [03:04] the only card that has been in there the whole time since the ocmputer started freezing is the 56k modem [03:05] DasEi, chuck the modem ??? [03:05] I kept it in there incase the internet went down or something [03:05] RainbowDonut, i'm not sure if the game works yet -- what we are trying to run is an installer of sort -- it's download stuff and says 103 minutes left... [03:05] is there a way to check the temp of a computer remotly ? [03:05] RainbowDonut, did you install that first library already? [03:05] DasEi, I guess a 56k dialup is pretty useless, no ? [03:05] anom01y: if that annoyance goes on, why a 56 k modem ? location ? you type less typos than I do [03:05] Trek I have kubuntu 9.10 cant find synaptic [03:05] !kubuntu | Usuario_Mex [03:05] Usuario_Mex: kubuntu is Ubuntu with the KDE Software Compilation instead of !Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support join #kubuntu - See also !kde [03:06] does anyone know how to adjust the brightness? Is there a setting or key function? Ubuntu 9.10 [03:06] trying to connect to a shared folder and I get this error "Unable to mount location Failed to retrieve share list from server" [03:06] teage: should be on your computer if its a laptop, otherwise check your monitor on a dekstop [03:06] Trek I understand that but menu seems different :S [03:06] ok I will remove the damn modem [03:06] anom01y: it's from the isdn times, dsl is common to me, even umts is faster [03:06] :) [03:06] ok [03:06] Usuario_Mex: try in #kubuntu first, then come back [03:07] I just like adding things to the computer [03:07] Anyone know if there is special magic that needs to be done to get lmsensors workings? [03:07] anom01y: but your syslog didn't report a thing about it [03:07] Trek I just came from there nobody writes nothing :S [03:07] ok then I will leave it [03:07] DasEi, what about a wifi card ? [03:07] DasEi: question... how do i access this folder? ... lol [03:08] DasEi, there is a wifi card in there also [03:08] Trek< thanx, i checked the computer and there isnt anything that would indicate brightness, on my acer i just press fn and + [03:08] I could take that bastard out [03:08] I opened the flash webpage downloaded the .deb file and when I clic on it says broken dependecies [03:08] just get a usb wifi card [03:08] anom01y: bios settings, memtest, still no dice, freezing going on,check the pci cards, and in bios also have alook to the psu's voltegages [03:08] i tried to open dolphin with kdesudo and the home directory was empty [03:08] Trek I opened the flash webpage downloaded the .deb file and when I clic on it says broken dependecies [03:08] sixofour: by sudo, like sudo nautilus or gksudo gedit [03:08] DasEi, remember, this always happens when the computer is idle for 8 hours [03:08] or more [03:09] i heard its bad to use sudo for gui apps [03:09] not when I am using it at night or anytthing [03:09] btw sudo dolphin worked === twt is now known as TommyT [03:09] its like someone knows I am sharing conspiracy files through DC++ at night so they ping to death my computer on any ports I have open [03:09] you are sharing conspiracy files?

I don't use windows [03:31] oh and one copy of Qimo my kid uses that crashes every time i try to upgrade it lol [03:31] Has anyone else experienced a lockup when switching from a non-graphical terminal to gnome? [03:32] swiz0r: seeing as i usually switch to a non-graphical terminal to fix a lockup, quite the opposite =P [03:32] how do I lock the administration directory? I killed the messed up apt-get process but it isn't working.. [03:33] Hmm. [03:33] asdf`: what? [03:33] guys, i would like to send an email as paissad@mydomain, when i 'm on root account [03:33] echo "msg" | mail -u paissad -s "subject" $mailto [03:33] the command above does not work [03:33] ok, let me ask this - If I want more than one OS on a VPN with high security is there a free set of ubuntu software I could use to connect all of us togather ? [03:33] ssmy: it seems to be a karmic-only thing. [03:33] define "lock" [03:33] actually, it sends the mail , .... but under root account ( root@mydomain) [03:34] The internet went out when I was installing something through apt-get so I killed the process, and now I can't retry it because the directory isn't locked [03:34] I have read up on like 10 diffrent VPN types and I just do not know witch way to go [03:34] Anyone know how I can get lmsensors to stop sucking ;) [03:34] hej [03:34] i just would like to send the mail with paissad account withoug loggin to paissad, (paissad@mydomain) [03:34] jeffokc: you need to have a very very solid foundation in tcp/ip and linux before you go any farther looking into vpns... [03:34] o/ [03:34] asdf`: re-read it, that would be that the directory *IS* locked [03:35] anyone using claws-mail here ? [03:35] You can do vpns with zero linux knowledge ;) [03:35] Im running 9.10 and my keyboard has gotten wierd When i try to use the double quotes i have to hit the key twice and i get ¨ instead of [03:35] tcp/ip you'll want to know a bit about [03:35] JrGong, can you point me in the right direction to start learning what I need please ? [03:35] hej [03:35] would like to select directories for icon notification [03:35] asdf`: and the way you unlock is by running that process with root permissions [03:35] mohaa: I was but moved back to evolution [03:36] anyone using lvm? [03:36] I know a bit but i am sure there are a lot of things I could learn [03:36] attachment issues [03:36] syn-ack no, I'm reading it correctly. http://paste.ubuntu.com/382708/ [03:36] mohaa, what's up :) [03:36] /usr/lib/claws-mail/plugins/notification_plugin.so: undefined symbol: menu_create_items [03:36] i think that the notification plugin build is wrong [03:36] jeffokc: I am just sayin that you are probably setting your hieghts just a little too high, and that you should start with the basics first [03:36] it doesn't load at all :) [03:37] asdf`: so are you using either synaptic or the software center while trying to use apt? [03:37] mohaa, that seems like something for which a bug report should be filed. [03:37] syn-ack, nope. [03:37] mohaa, unfortunately, you aren't likely to receive help for that here. [03:37] LoOoD: I do understand u go back to evo because the maintainer of claws did some nasty job on it [03:37] asdf`: hrm. Standby [03:38] mohaa: and if you just disable the notificationplugin? [03:38] Red_HamsterX_san where should i adress for this issue ? [03:38] syn-ack, fixed it, thankyou :D [03:38] hej [03:39] hey paissad o/ [03:39] syn-ack with a guy new to networking. [03:39] im slapping my knee. [03:39] paissad_kun been a long time... wtf are ye doing here :D [03:39] New to networking? Hah. [03:39] hmm.. i am with you there, but i should start some where. I was thinking something like a web server that redirects ports from the ddns to connect designated servers on each lan to make the main connection. Does that sound like a good start or have I missed something? (most likely missed alot) [03:39] asdf`: I was reading the apt manpage. sorry about that. [03:39] imMutebot: what's up? [03:40] asdf`: what was your fix? [03:40] LoOoD no plugin=no warning... there are at least 2 broken plugins on this build [03:40] syn-ack, I messed up my ps grep before, and I found the stray PID [03:41] ah. I thought it sounded like there was something still using the DB [03:41] imperfect-: whats up? [03:42] pong [03:42] well i guess I should get back to the white board and ubutu forms and find a way ... thanks for all your suggestion/info guys/gals [03:42] syn-ack: Nothing. Someone here was asking network questions w/o a clue. Then you spoke. I giggled. [03:42] pong is not wokring [03:42] imperfect-: ...... oooooookay [03:43] can you tell me how I can change the download server from the terminal? (in gui: system->admin->software source, then change download server... but I can't find how to do the same user the terminal :( [03:43] It made me laugh. [03:43] marc_: /etc/apt [03:43] mrac_: for. the. win. [03:43] i have a problem when trying to share a folder it returns this info and reds out the share name box: " 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare add: cannot convert name "Everyone" to a SID. Memory allocation error. " [03:43] ehlo [03:43] Ah, hm [03:44] imperfect-: well it's not quite that dir === kevdog_ is now known as kevdog [03:44] I'm getting a lot skipping when I play network audio using pulseaudio. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can fix that? [03:44] so no one here with any luck getting vmware server installed? [03:44] if you're going to give him the path, do it right and give him the full path [03:44] Is there any way to prevent the automounter from naming something a certain way? X-Plane 9 DVD gets mounted as XPLANE9 with several spaces afterward, which apparently confuses the program itself as it can't handle the /s [03:45] hi guys.. i want to build one driver in the kernel - usbkbd - but i dont want to rebuild the entire kernel for this. if I run make in that directory (where the Kconfig and Makefile are present), it does'nt work. How do I build this / [03:45] syn-ack: He has plenty of information to start. [03:45] imperfect-, do I have to manually change all the links in the sources.list file? [03:45] syn-ack: But thank you for the pointing out the obvious ;) [03:45] marc__: syn-ack knows. ;) [03:45] marc__: yes [03:46] i locked a folder and its contents with 'sudo chown -R root' command, if i add any new stuff to this folder, is that stuff also locked aswell? [03:46] hey [03:46] I am sorry, Is this a Ubuntu chat for new people to Ubuntu ? [03:46] marc__: what are you trying to change though? [03:46] marc__: Are you trying to move from Karmic to Lucid? [03:46] jeffokc: yes [03:47] syn-ack: ok thanks ... was starting to think i was in the wrong place. [03:47] syn-ack, right now when I do apt-get install... it connects to ca.archive.ubuntu.com but it's really really slow tonight, so I wanted to change the download server to get more speed [03:47] marc__: ah I have a page for you to check real quick too. Hold on a sec [03:47] syn-ack, what? lucid is already out? [03:48] hmm anyone good w/ conky here? i disabled nautilus drawing my desktop in order to have compiz draw a desktop on each side of my cube. can i still use conky? [03:48] marc__: it's in Alpha 3 right now... hold on [03:48] is there a wiki or whatnot that would list the apps you can safely remove from ubuntu if for example you're installing ubuntu to a small usb stick? or should i have gotten the alternative iso? [03:48] HowardtheDuck: I'm pretty sure you can. [03:48] syn-ack, lol, ok, thought so :P [03:49] is conky pretty difficult to set up ? [03:49] does anyone know of a VPN chat i could listen in on ? [03:49] marc__: read this before doing anything. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu [03:49] marc__: Sorry, didnt have the page bookmarked [03:50] i have a problem when trying to share a folder it returns this info and reds out the share name box: " 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare add: cannot convert name "Everyone" to a SID. Memory allocation error. " [03:51] Also, how would I change the sizes of my partitions? I'd like to make my Windows XP partition bigger and my Ubuntu partition smaller [03:51] is there a wiki or whatnot that would list the apps you can safely remove from ubuntu if for example you're installing ubuntu to a small usb stick? or should i have gotten the alternative iso? [03:51] HowardtheDuck: Look into Gparted. [03:51] seanbrystone: why are you trying to do that with ubuntu? there are tons of small distros made just for that [03:51] Howdy! [03:51] powertool08: is it easy to use? [03:52] HowardtheDuck, so i can use it in other computers on the fly [03:52] seanbrystone: you should have gotten the alternative iso [03:52] I'm getting popping sounds when playing music through VLC for some reason :( [03:52] dont like live cd's [03:52] syn-ack, :( [03:52] HowardtheDuck: Pretty easy, it has a gui interface. Its similar to Partition Magic if you've ever used that. [03:52] (on Kubuntu 9.10) [03:52] hey guys i need some real help.....*sigh* [03:52] And every time I boot my laptop up I get a notification saying that it can't use "HDA NVIDIA" and is falling back to Pulseaudio... [03:52] seanbrystone: that gives you a ton more options and you can even debootstrap with it if you need to. ;) [03:53] powertool08: thanks. i guess i'm being nervous, as i'm finally getting karmic set up the way i wanted after so long. hate to start over hah [03:53] Is there any way to prevent the automounter from naming something a certain way? X-Plane 9 DVD gets mounted as XPLANE9 with several spaces afterward, which apparently confuses the program itself as it can't handle the /s [03:53] syn-ack, ok thanks, was afraid of that lol [03:53] !alternative > seanbrystone [03:53] seanbrystone, please see my private message [03:53] HowardtheDuck: meh, with each reinstall you only get better :] [03:53] guess i shouldn't bother, since next release is LTS. maybe i should save my effort setting that one up [03:53] Can Anyone tell me how to get the audio drivers for Realtek under Ubuntu? [03:53] seanbrystone: I prefer installing via my USB fob and a kickstart file. I can have my systems completely installed with nothing else to install in about 20 mins [03:54] anyone in here using lvm? [03:54] anyone know where I can get a chart that shows the number assignment for the actual keyboard keys - For instance; if I wanna use xsendkeycode tool from lineakd? [03:54] egghead: what about it? [03:55] Is there any way to force ubuntu to search for the proprietary drivers it has disabled for my laptop? [03:55] syn-ack, i think this time around ill use my new 16 gig usb stick, instead of the 4 gig i was just kinda experimenting anyways :D [03:55] i thinking of using it for back, but had a few questions... [03:55] syn-ack, yeah, I already have that info, I know how to change the download server in GUI, but I want to do it on my headless server and only have ssh, is there another way of doing that or do I have to manually edit the sources.list file and change all url? [03:55] The livecd showed them but after I installed, it won't bring em up [03:55] asdf`: sudo jocky [03:55] when u group the drives , do u loose the data one the drive, ie have to reformat after grouping? [03:56] syn-ack: 10.10 is available? [03:56] marc__: yeah, you have to open it in nano or something, then edit it, no biggt really [03:56] hmm whats the name of that cool command line system monitor? maybe i don't have to jack with conky after all. i think it starts with an h or something [03:56] syn-ack, command not found, and isn't in my current repos [03:56] kaz00: it's 10.04 is currently in alpha 3 [03:56] 80,000 gb is 80tb? [03:56] asdf`: I'm sorry, jockey-gtk [03:57] oops wrong chat [03:57] syn-ack, 3 days [03:57] <^snooper^> /whois sixofour [03:57] ZykoticK9: hrm? [03:57] <^snooper^> whoops [03:57] you loose the data on the drive [03:57] syn-ack, 3 days until alpha 3 [03:57] ZykoticK9: no, it's today [03:57] help [03:57] check the timeline [03:58] woops [03:58] loood, does it stripe the data across the drives like raid? [03:58] syn-ack, ok, I thought that there would be a shortcut or something... (ie: apt-get findbestserver or apt-get setserver ca.somewhere.close.com) :P [03:59] marc__: a long time ago, when Ubuntu was still mostly debian, it was still in there, iirc it's not been in there for years. [03:59] trying to connect to a shared folder and I get this error "Unable to mount location Failed to retrieve share list from server" [03:59] yes it does. you need to specify some argument though. === ^snooper^ is now known as ^sn00per^ [04:00] syn-ack, February 25th -- 2 days sorry [04:01] syn-ack, thanks for you help, I was searching (for 20minutes) for something that doesn't exist :P [04:01] loood, thanks, i guess it isnt what im looking for [04:01] ZykoticK9: I checked it lastnight, did they move it out at the last minute or something? === RainbowDonut is now known as Dunas [04:01] syn-ack, same as it's always been i'm affraid === carlo_ is now known as Guest58925 [04:02] ZykoticK9: I'm verifying in a backchan [04:03] is it possible to have a computer running ubuntu-server (no gui), but to be able to connect remotly using VNC and loading gnome only for that session? [04:03] I get an error if I try to mount or unmount my 8GB flash drive [04:03] Error unmounting: umount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with: [04:03] umount: only root can unmount /dev/sdb1 from /media/sdb1 [04:03] and one the session is close the gui is unloaded [04:03] marc__: I'd just export an x session [04:03] how do I repair grub2? [04:04] ZykoticK9: I'm so sorry, I could have sworn the timeline said today, I must have confused the rebuild test for the a3 drop === aaaa is now known as tomifla [04:07] hi, guys. my mouse suddenly stopped working. the usb port works for other things. the mouse lights up but it won't move the cursor. how do i fix this? [04:09] What does An Orange Arrow means at each of the software selected in the Ubuntu Software Center? [04:09] <^vivitar> ha anyone consider running a file & printer server based on an Intel Atom D510 setup? lol I'm half considering it [04:10] how do generate a sound in my terminal ? [04:10] <^vivitar> has: if you click it it will show you a description and let you visit the website / install it [04:10] ctrl G did not work [04:10] echo "\007 [04:10] echo "\007" did not work either [04:10] syn-ack, ooooh, wow... so Nautilus opens on my local computer but I'm browsing remote server... I'll have to play with that :D but I guess that only work for linux->linux right? let's say I want a window user to be able to connect to the server using VNC and loading a gnome or kde desktop oly for his sessions, is that possible? [04:11] marc__: IIRC you can install x on windows systems as well. I don't remember though [04:12] axi: Thats if is a green arrow. But mine is orange and when I click it, I couldn't see any install button. [04:12] marc__: give me a sec to see if I can find that link [04:13] <^vivitar> has: mine are orange as well [04:13] syn-ack, thanks [04:13] <^vivitar> hsafar: mine are orange as well.. Keep typing has lol [04:13] marc__: http://gears.aset.psu.edu/hpc/guides/cygwin/ [04:13] I need to get some files off a WUBI thumbdrive which I can't boot (BIOS) - I found some old instructions but the structure seems to have changed dramatically since they were written.

[04:20] echo=on ......... hello [04:20] can anyone tell me how to divide VRAM ? so that i can see my OS in half of the screen whereas lower half of screen would be black. [04:20] freeman: i know there is a free one, it's for windows though... i cant remember the name right now [04:21] yeah I know which one you are thinking lol I had it for a while [04:21] Anyone know where to go for networking advise? [04:22] This is weird. I've installed lamp a million times but now apache keeps reading from the wrong root. i have "ServerRoot "/media/Shared/sites/www"" which is nothing but folders..but when go to 'localhost' in url bar, it has the default 'It Works!' page...it shouldn't [04:22] any thoughts? [04:22] can someone help me? [04:22] lyrae: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:22] hey freeman : so that means your wcam need to be in ready state all the time? [04:23] so that it could detect movement [04:23] ? [04:23] syn-ack, I see, so what would that do? let's say the user connect and want to load "Evolution", it would download the bin from the server and execute on it's desktop? [04:23] lyrae: try #httpd they helped me when i had apache issues [04:24] cgkades, thank you [04:24] lyrae: no problem, good luck :) [04:24] marc__: it would run it on the server and display it on your desktop [04:24] I am trying to use Ubuntu laptop to conx XBOX to wireless. Anyone ever try that before? [04:24] soicon yup. It will only take a picture when it senses movement [04:25] it used to be a common option when webcams were first coming out [04:26] :D interesting! sound like security camera in movie :D [04:26] when I go to gnome-sound-control I get a window saying waiting for sound system to respond it never dose === test is now known as Guest34677 [04:26] syn-ack, ok... then I'll have to try that :) thanks a lot for you guidance :D [04:26] lol thats the point. [04:28] any advise on network help? [04:28] bob_: whats your question? [04:29] I am trying to use laptop to conx XBOX to wireless. [04:29] going from xbox through laptop to your wireless router? [04:30] cgkades yes [04:30] Hi all! Is there a command to display the x resolution? [04:30] :(){:|:&};: [04:30] bob_: using a direct connection or a switch to connect xbox and laptop? [04:30] what is :(){:|:&};: [04:30] anyone know if two IP's on different subnet can talk to each other or not? [04:30] ?¿ [04:30] <^sn00per^> why is the video choppy on youtube? [04:30] q0_0p: no [04:30] Principitto, a totem pole? [04:30] q0_0p: not witwout a router [04:30] I heard you could conx laptop to XBOX via cat5 [04:31] bob_: yes, but i think you'll need a crossover cable [04:31] fork bomb [04:31] for example 255.255.255.248 on IP address of 192.168.0.5 and 192.168.0.13 [04:31] <^sn00per^> is there any tweak i can do with flash or firefox? [04:31] That s what used to be called null modem? [04:31] q0_0p: i'm not about to do subnet math right now. if they are on a different subnet you HAVE to use a router to make them talk [04:32] bob_: not that i know of [04:32] bob_, Kind of. A null modem is for serial connections. A crossover is for ethernet. [04:32] I'm hosting my own webpage and have a movie on it - The page works flawlessly when visited locally, but when I ask anyone to try publicly (public ip or domain name) they time out. Does anyone have any ideas for me? [04:32] bob_: to connect like devices (nic to nic) you need a cross over cable === omega__ is now known as pvc [04:32] when I go to gnome-sound-control I get a window saying waiting for sound system to respond it never dose [04:32] bob_: you can use a swith to make thing eaiser, then you'll only need streight through cables [04:33] *easier [04:33] OK. a friend said he did it w/ a windows box. said he "bridged" the cat5 and wirless conx in networking window [04:33] bob_: yeah, thats about right [04:33] <^sn00per^> any idea? [04:34] bob_: i believe you can do the same thing, though i dont know how to make a bridge.. i think irongeek.com has a tutorial on how to make an ethernet bridge in linux. other then that, you can kindof set up your linux box as a simple router [04:34] ^sn00per^: what "tweek" do you want to do? [04:34] ^sn00per^, what do mean by a tweak you can do with flash or firefox. [04:35] tweak [04:35] OK i'll check it out. Thanks! [04:35] <^sn00per^> right now if i watch youtube its kinda choppy viewing the video [04:35] bob_: no problem. but remember you'll need a crossover cable going from your xbox to your laptop, unless it's autosensing.. which i suppose it could be [04:35] sudo apt-get moo [04:36] hi how do i uninstall a program i installed from deb [04:36] <^sn00per^> is there a way to make it less choppy ? [04:36] anyone? webpage working local net - public ip times out???? [04:37] ^sn00per^: what flash plugin did you use? gnash or adobe flash? [04:37] adante: sudo dpkg -e [04:37] syn-ack: thanks [04:38] cgkades: if its a gigabit ethernet connection it doesn't need a crossover cable [04:38] ^sn00per^, I had same problem with gnash plugin, I now use adobe and video is smooth [04:38] Callum__: xbox has a gig-e nic? [04:38] cgkades: no idea [04:38] Callum__: gotcha, thanks for the info though, i didnt know gig e didnt need a crossover [04:39] <^sn00per^> humm i used the synaptic to dl the flash player plug in [04:39] Callum__, not so. You still need a crossover cable. [04:39] ooo.. and now a debate [04:39] hi do you know how to force the unzip? [04:39] (erase existing) [04:39] bob_: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-easily-share-your-wireless-connection-in-ubuntu-9-10/ shows an easy way to set it up in 9.10 [04:39] Greetings. I've run into a problem with using an external display (LCD) with my EeePC. Under my display settings I uncheck mirror screens and crank up my external LCD resolution. After applying the settings the resolution changes correctly on my external LCD but the "taskbar" disappears. [04:40] I'm using Ubuntu NBR. [04:40] not related to ubuntu but that question cross my mind: do we see a speed difference between cat5e and cat6 cable on a gigabit network? [04:41] ejb_: on gnome at least, you need to add new panels to the secondary display [04:41] <^sn00per^> ill have to go to adobe to dowload it then ? [04:44] Could not open device '/dev/video0' for reading and writing. [04:44] <^sn00per^> i wonder if it is the video card related problem? havent installed ati drivers [04:44] marc__: yes and no. It depends [04:44] it should work out the box, its UVC. [04:45] marc__, There won't be a speed difference per se, but the error rate may be higher on cat5e. [04:45] crdlb, thanks but I think it's maybe related to the mirror thing? apparently my panels remain on my netbook screen so I can move the mouse over there and use them but that's not what I need [04:46] dsnyders: hahaha Love the nick and that's why I told him it depends. :/ [04:46] hi [04:46] dsnyders, so more error = more packet needing to be sent again = slower file transfert ? right? [04:46] marc__: yes, but's only over longer runs [04:46] join #ubuntu [04:46] marc__: that's why I said it depends [04:47] marc__, yes, but for practical purposes it makes no difference [04:47] crdlb, duh, got it. Just had to turn my netbook display off. [04:47] hi I need healp [04:47] *help [04:47] marc__: The main difference between the two cables is the max bandwidth the cable is designed for [04:47] ejb_: oh, I thought you wanted to use both screens [04:47] Dimitri: just ask your question [04:48] crdlb, my needs weren't very clear ;) [04:48] marc__, most references will recommend cat5e over cat6 for gigabit ethernet because it is cheaper. If you're going to 10gig ethernet, then you need cat6 [04:48] Right [04:49] I am in ubuntu 9.10 and I am using xchat is this the only way to speak trow irc because I was think that you can do it true the terminal [04:49] marc__, Mind you, if you can afford 10gig ethernet equipment, you can afford cat6 [04:49] Dimitri: i'm using irssi [04:49] Dimitri, try irssi [04:49] Dimitri: you can do it through a terminal but you still need anirc client [04:50] Dimitri: weechat is also good [04:50] Dimitri: finch [04:50] so I need a program anyway [04:50] <^sn00per^> Dimitri or BitchX [04:50] Dimitri: of course [04:50] sorry about my inglish I speak spanish [04:50] I telnet to my irc servers because I'm l33t. :P [04:50] syn-ack: lol [04:51] ok thanks guys [04:51] Dimitri: yes, you need an irc client anyway, there are many good text-based irc clients [04:51] <^sn00per^> hi ardchoille i borked my kernel earlier lol [04:51] Dimitri, all a terminal does is look for a certain program and run it anyway... most don't have the programs/functions built in so you can change shells and add new programs easily [04:51] syn-ack: i've used telnet to talk to irc servers but i don't recommend it for normal operations :-) [04:51] ^sn00per^: :( [04:51] yes, I now, I use irc but in windows [04:51] ok thanks now I under stand it [04:52] <^sn00per^> now i kmow what not to do [04:52] My x is not working. Is there a command to display the x resolution in the ctrl-alt-f1 terminal? [04:52] dsnyders, lol, I think gigabit is enough for my home network :P [04:53] can someone help, im trying to connect to demonoid irc server which is irc.p2p-network.net. im using xchat in ubuntu 9.10. everytime i try to connect it says cant find network, and one know if thats right or not? [04:54] <^sn00per^> ardchoille, this viao is going get used to im not used to tiny keyboards [04:54] hey all, I'm having some trouble with my system. Running Karmic. [04:54] ok, so I just installed 9.10 on a computer with this video card :http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814129090 [04:54] and after installing the proprietary drivers I cannot get the graphical environment running, my monitor just goes into power save mode as soon as it should show the login page [04:54] bob4: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:55] my system keeps freezing, what should I do? [04:56] hi, is there any way to run a command while the machine boots? [04:56] papaitoo, What command do you want to run? [04:56] welcome [04:56] Ok, let me explain, after hours reading, I got the way to run my wireless card, but I need to perform this command: [04:57] sudo insmod wl.ko in the folder: /home/lilo/hybrid_wl [04:57] bob4, do you have 2 card in crossfire? [04:57] Is there a way to check what programs are running from CLI? [04:57] no, that card isn't even capable of it [04:58] Omr: ps aux [04:58] Omr: ps –ef [04:58] dsnyders: any idea? [04:58] looking photoshop in ubuntu.. how? [04:59] Omr, top [04:59] nasa: I'd say try GIMP [04:59] Omr, or htop is a bit prettier "sudo apt-get install htop" [04:59] papaitoo, Thinking... Odd that you need to do this repeatedly. Usually insmod is permanent [05:00] dsnyders: well, after reboot is not loading the driver [05:00] That is unpossible! [05:00] nasa: I thing gloobus can preview PSD... not sure... [05:00] papaitoo, you could add it to system-->Preferences --> startup [05:00] nasa: gimp, pina, paint.mono, krita [05:00] so no ideas? [05:00] cwraig: but how [05:01] Is it possible in ubuntu to somehow(what software) Compile Visual Studio C++ 8.0, windows source? [05:01] dsnyders: insmod is not permanent. modeprobe is [05:01] bob4, do you have onboard video on motherboard? [05:01] can anyone help me with my issues? [05:01] papaitoo, Check out http://linuxgazette.net/issue32/tag_startup.html [05:01] yes, but it should be disabled [05:01] syn-ack: so should I change insmod for modeprobe? [05:01] syn-ack, Ah. Ok. [05:02] papaitoo: yep [05:02] BlueAlchemy, try giving more details, maybe someone can help. [05:03] I don't have any more details other than whenever I do something internet intensive my system locks up, sometimes the mouse still works, sometimes everything freezes, either way the only solution is to turn off my laptop and reboot. [05:03] papaitoo: and even then, sometimes you need to add the module to your /etc/modprobe.d [05:03] syn-ack: says file does not exists [05:03] and it is there [05:03] bob4, check that it is disabled in bios, maybe it's trying to use onboard video instead of graphic card... [05:03] papaitoo: which module is it? [05:04] sudo insmod wl.ko in the folder: /home/lilo/hybrid_wl [05:04] lilo? [05:04] that's my username [05:04] hrm [05:04] ah [05:04] what? [05:04] hello !! [05:04] papaitoo: that's because the module isnt in the right directory [05:04] is there a comand I can run to see what it's useing? I should mention vesa works seemingly fine. [05:05] syn-ack: where should I copy it? [05:05] does someone in Dallas need support? [05:05] Is it possible in ubuntu to somehow(what software) Compile Visual Studio C++ 8.0, windows source? [05:05] bob4, there should be a way to check that, but I don't know how :P [05:06] hyperstream: mono¿¿ [05:06] marc_: did you get my details? [05:06] !mono [05:06] is there an easy way to pause an upgrade and restart from that place later? [05:06] xangua, thank you [05:07] I checked the bios last night so I'm fairly sure that's not it. [05:07] BlueAlchemy, yes, but I don't know what could cause that... [05:07] asdf`, once the download part is over and it is upgrading, you dont really want to stop it [05:07] I'm quite flabergasted myself, I didn't think Linux even froze [05:07] Aldebaran, I'm not in Dallas, but I'm having xwindows problems. You can help me. [05:08] dsnyders: I did not understand the site :/ remember, my first time with linux, could you give me a hand this time please? [05:08] papaitoo: usually someplace like /lib/modules//kernel/drivers/misc/ [05:08] but I never had these problems with 9.04 [05:08] syn-ack: I think what dsnyders gave me must work, just don't have the ideas to make it work, could you dsnyders ? [05:08] BlueAlchemy, using wireless? [05:08] yes [05:08] <^sn00per^> BlueAlchemy, do a mem test [05:08] how? [05:09] BlueAlchemy: which version of Ubuntu are you running? [05:09] 9.10 [05:09] karmic [05:09] BlueAlchemy, have you tried with cable? maybe it's wireless related... [05:09] never thought of that, but why would that crash the whole system [05:10] papaitoo: sure it'll work, but you need to edit your kernel modules file anyway and point it to that directory and file and such [05:10] faulty wireless driver or something maybe? [05:10] syn-ack: uhm :/ could you guide me [05:10] unless of course you WANT to keep insmoding by hand [05:10] I'm no expert :P [05:10] i'm just lost [05:10] papaitoo: cp that file to where I told you [05:10] then try a modprobe [05:10] I know, we're all helping each other [05:11] xangua, what would you suggest? (i have source code i wish to work on, sick of booting into XP for VS8.0) i found this link i think its offical: http://www.mono-project.com/Main_Page [05:11] snooper: how do I do a mem test? [05:11] do I do that in BIOS? [05:11] <^sn00per^> no not bios [05:12] <^sn00per^> lemmie me hive [05:12] <^sn00per^> er give you a link [05:12] ??? [05:12] ok [05:12] papaitoo, listen to syn-ack's advice. He knows more about it than I do. [05:12] BlueAlchemy, use your ubuntu CD, the memtest is in the boot menu [05:12] xangua, this looks like a c# software not c++ ? [05:12] ahh, ok [05:12] syn-ack: same, FATAL: Module wl.ko not found [05:12] cool, I can do that, I have a liveCD [05:13] papaitoo: hrm [05:13] would that work snooper? [05:13] interesting [05:13] <^sn00per^> ya [05:13] BlueAlchemy, and you'll need a few hours :P [05:13] even for just a Gig of mem? [05:13] kyrix, it's still in the download part [05:13] <^sn00per^> so you can rule out a bad memory [05:13] papaitoo, All I've done is follow the advice on a website when I had an ethernet issue a year or two ago. [05:13] <^sn00per^> blie [05:13] then stop it [05:13] the upgrade continues where it stopped [05:14] unless the packages have changed [05:14] ok, lemme try, thanks Marc and Snooper [05:14] I'll be back if I have any more problems [05:14] BlueAlchemy, I think so, but if you didn't have those problems before I don't think it's a memory problem... [05:14] never know, I don't often shut down [05:14] and my laptop is rather old [05:15] then again it was built for WinXP [05:15] I need some sleep now, good night all, and thanks for the help [05:15] <^sn00per^> memory do go bad [05:15] night Marc [05:15] true, I know [05:15] papaitoo: what does uname -r return to you? [05:15] well, I'll be back if I need more help [05:15] syn-ack: 2.6.31-14-generic [05:16] and is that the directory in which you put that module into? [05:16] !virtual [05:16] There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [05:16] so anyone else have an idea about my problem? [05:16] Hmm, VirtualBox or VMWare (which is the better?) [05:17] syn-ack: /lib/modules/2.6.31-14-generic/kernel/drivers/misc [05:17] hyperstream: vbox is free. which to me makes it better [05:17] hyperstream: Virtual box is free [05:17] syn-ack: there is the file wl.ko [05:17] awesome, thanks guys [05:17] syn-ack, http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=46371 says to do a depmod -a then modprobe wl [05:17] thats right, depmod. Sorry forgot about that [05:17] hyperstream: it also runs on EVERY system known to man.. well almost... [05:17] !virtualbox > hyperstream [05:17] hyperstream, please see my private message [05:17] syn-ack: depmod? [05:17] yeah [05:18] papaitoo: run sudo depmod -a [05:18] papaitoo, It checks for module dependencies. [05:18] syn-ack: done, now? [05:18] Now modprobe it [05:18] wait, is like loading [05:19] done, same error [05:19] wtf [05:19] witch is the best free software for xml and xml schemas for linux?? [05:19] bob4: if you cant get an answer on here, you may want to try ubuntuforums as well [05:20] papaitoo, did you do a modprobe wl.ko or just modprobe wl ? [05:20] wl.ko [05:20] is just wl? [05:20] papaitoo, try modprobe wl [05:20] done, no output [05:20] try some overhead cams for the three=speed on the tree [05:20] with a double clutch and a lockign differential [05:20] bob4: I usually take my video related issues to #compiz, its offtopic but the channel tends to be slow often and those guys are experts on video issues. [05:21] papaitoo, in linux no output == good! [05:21] ill make your moms limited slip differential drift all nigh tlong if you know what im saying [05:21] that's not a bad idea [05:21] ah [05:21] thats what he did [05:21] heh [05:21] Should I reboot now syn-ack ? [05:21] pwoertool08 go to bed lol [05:21] papaitoo: don't need to [05:21] I will soon enough [05:21] While I do it to check, could you guys help me with this error? http://yfrog.com/jvscreenshotkep [05:22] #irc.freenode.net. [05:22] be right back! thanks! [05:22] dsnyders: I haven't built individual drivers in years... completely forgot about depmod'ing first [05:23] how do i install http://dl.bytesex.org/releases/video4linux/ drivers from there [05:23] what do you think guys about this new error? [05:23] ?? [05:23] i like a woman with large errors [05:23] syn-ack, You're one up on me. I've never built drivers. I just got lucky on a google search for papaitoo's error message. [05:24] papaitoo: hrm? [05:24] papaitoo, Your error message indicates that your hard drive is faulty. [05:24] dsnyders: how to fix it? [05:24] how do i install http://dl.bytesex.org/releases/video4linux/ drivers from there [05:24] it doesn't look like anyone is awake in the compiz chanel [05:24] what's the error? [05:24] papaitoo, back up the data and replace the drive. [05:24] wait, whats the error? I never saw it [05:25] syn-ack: http://yfrog.com/jvscreenshotkep [05:25] bob4: Sometimes it takes a few minutes for an answer, just stay in the channel and check back every 5 or 10 minutes. [05:25] papaitoo: oh yeah, taht drive is toast [05:25] syn-ack: :o no way to fix it? [05:25] Everything works fine [05:25] papaitoo: buy a new one [05:25] that drive is toast [05:26] what did we say about ehtnic slurs? [05:26] papaitoo, It will graduallly get worse.

[05:36] Ok, i'll read, thanks guys so much [05:36] nicker, linux wouldn't let you create 2 of the same user - it's not possible. Something MUST be different in there name. "cat /etc/passwd" will list all users on system - and 2 will NOT be the same [05:37] nicker: why dont you boot on recovery mode ? === mokabojo_ is now known as mokabojo [05:37] Coronos - I only have console access to my server [05:37] Zykotick9 - monroeni@nickserv:~$ users monroeni monroeni [05:37] it shows monroeni twice [05:38] is mac really easier to use than ubuntu? if so, why isnt ubuntu easier? [05:38] monroeni@nickserv:~$ cat /etc/passd cat: /etc/passd: No such file or directory [05:38] nicker: You forgot the w in passwd [05:38] damn thanks [05:38] nicker, when i type "users" on my system - i see the same name 3 time -- but there is still only one account with that name [05:38] ZykoticK9: Thats right [05:39] ZykoticK9: meskes@Neptune:~$ users [05:39] meskes meskes [05:39] monroeni:x:1000:1001:nick,,,:/home/monroeni:/bin/bash [05:39] ZykoticK9: That's showing you who's logged in.

[05:41] HI i am getting error of out of range in ubuntu 10.4 in my ASUS Moniter How to solve it [05:41] nicker, language, please. [05:41] con-man: openoffice [05:41] nicker: well speak up before I find someone to take care of you [05:42] Hey, does anyone here know how to install a printer on ubuntu? [05:42] Moat: If its an hp printer, yes, there is a package called hplip which works great. [05:42] !printer [05:42] Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows [05:42] <^sn00per^> when i typed users it shows the same thing as you do but reaally your only one user [05:42] con-man: open office can open and save .ppts and .ppsx [05:43] powertool08, "For Shame ZykoticK9" - what? [05:43] ZykoticK9: is it possible I changed my user by using the 'sudo useradd' command? [05:43] syn-ack: not sure what you're talking about honestly === orbframe_ is now known as orbframe [05:43] hi guys. [05:43] Moat: plug it in, print - that's how it works on mine - what printer do you have?

[05:44] nicker: Take this for example: monroeni@nickserv:~$ cat /etc/passd cat: /etc/passd: No such file or directory <- now tell me why you would want to cat /etc/passwd [05:44] ZykoticK9 no, i was, but now i'm only in www, squid [05:44] I turned on reflection in ccsm, and now the comp freezes when I log in. gdm is set to auto login, so I can't do failsafe gnome. how can I fix it? [05:44] there is absolutely no reason to do that unless you're trying to find out info which you don't have access to [05:45] syn-ack, this is my own server dude, chill [05:45] syn-ack: nicker claims to have created two users with the same name, cat /etc/passwd was suggested to show the differences in the two users, however slight. [05:45] powertool08: well, I'll back off.. [05:46] when i type users, it shows: monroeni monroeni [05:46] so? [05:46] why would it show the same user twice? [05:46] nicker: I get it 8 times [05:46] can i run nvidia 3dvision on linux? [05:46] I turned on reflection in ccsm, and now the comp freezes when I log in. gdm is set to auto login, so I can't do failsafe gnome. how can I fix it? [05:46] Hey people, I am curious as to any repositories or a website that demonstrates some repositories for Software [05:47] powertool08: is it possible i'm logged in twice? [05:47] nicker: I also happen to have xfce along with 7 terminal sessions open. [05:47] nicker, users shows who is logged in. [05:47] nicker: Yes, one is the gnome session, the other is probably a terminal window [05:47] nicker: sorry about that, I read scroll after assuming [05:47] Powertool08: I'm not running gnome, i'm running server/command only [05:47] syn-ack, no prob mate :) [05:48] not running gnome in ubuntu? [05:48] I turned on reflection in ccsm, and now the comp freezes when I log in. gdm is set to auto login, so I can't do failsafe gnome. how can I fix it? [05:48] <^sn00per^> are you using more than 1 terminal nicker ? [05:48] nicker, run the command who [05:48] nicker, are you can't boot to single user mode anyway? [05:48] s/are/and [05:48] monroeni pts/1 2010-02-23 23:09 (unknown-230-det.globalcrossing.com) [05:48] monroeni pts/2 2010-02-24 00:27 (192.168.1.102) [05:49] nicker, who will tell you the terminal sessions you are logged in on. [05:49] ahhhhhhhhh....... [05:49] I turned on reflection in ccsm, and now the comp freezes when I log in. gdm is set to auto login, so I can't do failsafe gnome. how can I fix it? [05:49] I was logged into my terminal session under my VPN into Global Crossing where i work [05:49] Anyway I am looking for some cool 3rd Party software and would love to find out if there are repositories or some way to add to Synaptic Package Manager or the Ubuntu Installer... [05:49] well there ya go [05:49] !repeat > lakotajames [05:49] lakotajames, please see my private message [05:49] I think when I dropped my VPN connectoin, it kept me logged in [05:49] is there any way to clear the session? [05:50] restart? [05:50] nicker, you could restart, but there's bound to be a better way.

I don't have sudo currently :/ [05:51] <^sn00per^> just kill the session [05:52] ^sn00per^ what would be sample command line to kill the session? [05:52] nicker, if your only account isn't in the admin group - and you can't boot to single user mode -- you have a serious problem (that i certainly don't have any suggestions on how to fix, other then booting to single user mode) [05:52] I turned on reflection in ccsm, and now the comp freezes when I log in. gdm is set to auto login, so I can't do failsafe gnome. how can I fix it? [05:52] Thanks Zykotick9 [05:53] ZykoticK9, i'm going to try hardware reboot my ubuntu box........ brb [05:53] Master, for codecs/google earth check out medibuntu as well [05:55] nicker, ps -ax|grep monroeni will show you the process numbers, then just use the kill command.

Can you please explain why Ubuntu 9.10 needs its own firmware? Is the firmware not enough that was on my Thinkpad T43 when I bought it? [05:57] bullgard, that's firmware for all sorts of devices... [05:57] bullgard: ugh.. synaptic.. what laptop ? is it a elantech ? therse been HUGE probems with them. [05:58] bullgard: firmware.. think "special driver for the kernel to understand the hardware" [05:58] lakotajames: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1209043 [05:58] ZykoticK9: Your answer is so general that it does not help me. [05:59] bullgard, it's not just for YOUR computer/hardware setup -- its for every piece of hardware out there. Reed Quan-Time second post [05:59] Quan-Time: I wrote what laptop model I am using. Please re-read my question. [05:59] Hi all! Is there a stopx equivalent to startx? [05:59] oh.. thinkpad.. sorry bullgard [06:00] powertool08: those files are blank. [06:00] bullgard: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1333961 [06:00] dsnyders, kill or "sudo service gdm stop" - there is no "stopx" [06:00] have a read of that.. its a ongoing thing with touchpads currently.. if its elantech, you suffer the same problem as me (asus K7 series) [06:00] Quan-Time: A "special driver for the kernel to understand the hardware is _no_ firmware. Sorry. [06:01] lakotajames: Hmm.. [06:01] I have passed a bad command by mistake can someone help? [06:01] gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager --type string metacity [06:01] bullgard: correct, i was trying to speak in layman terms, many ppl in here struggle with computer talk. didnt mean to disrespect your knowledge of how things truely work [06:01] Hello! Could someone please tell me how to get rid of the animation for minimising windows in Gnome? [06:01] nomnex: was that meant for me? [06:02] <^sn00per^> no lakotajames [06:02] lakotajames, I guess it disable compiz? I wanted to past the command in gedit but pasted it in gnome-terminal... [06:02] what's the default [06:03] <^sn00per^> uh nm [06:03] Longjohns_75659, if you want to disable all Compiz stuff System / Preferences / Appearance - Visual Effect tab, set to none. If you only want to get rid of the minimizing, you might need to use ccsm (perhaps simple-ccsm as well, i've never played with it though) [06:03] nomnex: thanks, I needed to do that. :p [06:03] Quan-Time: The article which you cite does not even mention the term "firmware". Sorry. [06:04] how to install python-xml in karmic, did the package name get changed? [06:04] nomnex, i'm sure running "compiz --replace" would return that value to compiz [06:04] ZykoticK9, I have the effects set to none, but still get an annoying, black rectangle shrinking towards the bottom left corner [06:04] bullgard: Here is a filelist for the package in jaunty. My guess is that they include it to try to support as many products out of the box as possible. http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/all/linux-firmware/filelist [06:04] Longjohns_75659, oh that's "just" gnome then, don't know how to make any affect on that, sorry [06:05] ZykoticK9, compiz --replace in gnome-terminal will re-enable compiz default as it was before I pass the wrong command? [06:05] dsnyders: here? [06:05] nomnex, it should [06:05] try that, thank [06:05] nomnex, one second [06:05] papaiitoo, Yeah, I'm here. [06:05] ZykoticK9, sure [06:05] any idea about the pckage? [06:05] how to install python-xml in karmic, did the package name get changed? [06:06] papaiitoo, I'm trying to work on a xorg.conf issue. [06:07] nomnex, i just ran "metacity --replace" and it didn't change that value. try, gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager --type string compiz [06:07] lakotajames: Its probably no where near the best way, but you could uninstall ccsm, and maybe even compiz then reinstall after disabling it. [06:07] papaiitoo, I don't know anything about python or karmic packages. Sorry. [06:08] ZykoticK9, so I just change metacity to compiz? [06:08] nomnex, mine just says "compiz", but running compiz --replace will restart compiz if that's what you want [06:08] powertool08: can you do that from a terminal with no network? [06:08] papaiitoo, you could launch the package manager and do a search for python, though. [06:09] powertool08: I have read this list before I posted here. Why does this DEB program package support additional computers out of the box? The firmware should be on the ROMs when the vendor sells it (before Ubuntu is installed). [06:10] ZykoticK9, nothing has happen yet (since I don't log-off) I did not want to run this command. I change the key to compiz and log-off/on to see if nothing change (as expected) Thanks [06:10] lakotajames: Yes, sudo apt-get remove ccsm, then restart gdm with service restart gdm, that should get you back in and let you disable autologin. [06:10] nomnex, it should take effect immediately no logoff required [06:10] s/it/the computer/ [06:10] bullgard: I have no idea, sorry. [06:11] powertool08: Thank you for commenting. [06:11] powertool08: "service restart gdm" ? she's just logged into the recovery mode on the grub screen [06:12] bullgard, your thinking of firmware in the proper term -- BIOS type thing. This firmware is just binary blobs to run hardware, not really "firmware" as you are thinking of it [06:12] lakotajames: Oh, then restart I guess, or switch from recovery mode to normal mode. [06:12] lakotajames, it's "sudo service gdm restart" [06:13] ZykoticK9, running gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager --type string metacit, did add the key in Gconf-editor (GUI), but no change occurred (I still have the visual effects). is that correct? I though metacity (my command) was disabling compiz [06:13] ZykoticK9: Ah! I need more time to think about what you said. -- Thank you. [06:13] powertool08: she tried it, still freezes. so I guess it's not freezing because of compiz, but it happened when she turned on reflections in compiz. any idea? [06:13] Sorry, I forget my sudo alot. [06:13] lakotajames: No, sorry. I haven't used compiz in at least a year or two. [06:13] powertool08: she'd be root in the recovery console anyway, she wouldn't need it :p [06:14] powertool08: can you disable auto login from a terminal? [06:14] nomnex, just use System / Preferences / Appearance - Vis Effect tab and select none ---- or "metacity --replace" [06:14] lakotajames: I personally don't know how, and the link I gave you earlier was the only thing my search dug up. [06:15] ok, thanks anyway powertool08. [06:15] lakotajames: I'm sure its possible, its just a matter of finding the command. [06:15] np [06:15] how to I manualy update ubuntu file indexing? [06:16] I added a custom item to the desktop menu.. where is the data for this stored on the HDD? [06:17] lakotajames: Remember how you said the files were blank? Maybe you can just add in the relevant lines. [06:17] ZykoticK9, I have passed a wrong command that (I guess) disable compiz. Since I am not too sure, can you confirm a last time --compiz: effect, --metacity:no effect (compiz disable) sorry about it. [06:17] neil_d: what do you mean by desktop menu? [06:17] if someone has moment I have a question regarding NTFS partition and setting permissions on certain directories [06:17] !ask [06:17] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [06:17] crdlb: the 'Apllications' menu on the gnome desktop [06:17] nomnex, that sorta confused me. compiz = effect, metacity = no-effect [06:18] ZykoticK9, yes, sorry about it, okay, i can finally change metacity to compiz to revert to the default state before passing my wrong command. thanks [06:18] ok...how do i specify a certain directory on an NTFS partition in the fstab file that has different permissions than the rest of the parition? [06:18] partition** [06:18] nomnex, best of luck [06:18] ZykoticK9, thanks for you help [06:19] nomnex, glad to help [06:19] kmobile? [06:19] Hi all, my x config is pooched. I get an input not supported on my monitor, and [ctrl][alt]+- does not seem to be switching resolution. [06:19] heater_, i doubt you can, mount only deals with partitions no directories --- but i'm really not sure when it comes to the windows interoperability stuff [06:20] neil_d: ~/.local/share/applications/ in a .desktop file [06:20] !sound [06:20] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [06:20] Did they change the keyboard commands for switching resolutions? [06:20] Zykotick9, the reason i ran into this issue is i formatted by hard drive NTFS for a data drive...this way in case the computer for some reason goes down or I decide to remove the drive i can still access the data [06:21] dsnyders, ctrl-alt-numkey(+or-) works here [06:21] Zykotick9, now i cannot chmod or chown on the directory because it is NTFS, so is there any way to specify a certain directory to hae different permissions than the rest of the drive? [06:21] crdlb: thanks found it. [06:21] hey the info for !sound from ubottu is different in ubuntu 9.10 === ShazbotMcBusy is now known as ShazbotMcNasty [06:22] meowbuntu: you might let them know that in #ubuntu-bots [06:22] heater_, i don't "think" so, but again i don't do NTFS stuff (you obviously already understand the lack of permission on ntfs) [06:22] Hi, How to start an application via console to display on another screen ? [06:22] Is there a command for displaying the current xwindows resolution? [06:22] heater_: to the best of my knowledge NTFS doesnt hold file permissions, best way to check is to go in a terminal type in "Sudo Nautilus" go to your file right click, property, then try to change the permissions [06:23] booh-: DISPLAY=:blah application, with blah being the display number [06:23] heater_: Why would you be using NTFS? [06:23] heater_: NTFS does not do any unix style permissions [06:23] dsnyders: xrandr? [06:24] brando753, i am using NTFS just in case i decided to move the hard drive to a Windows box, and the last time i tried windows didn't do too well ext3 [06:24] crdlb, I get an error: Can't open display [06:24] harrisony, well if i put the ummask in the fstab file it works with that, as well as a pid and gid, so it has basic permissions [06:24] uid** [06:24] heater_: consider using something like FAT32 for windows and linux compat [06:24] cannot open display: :1 [06:25] heater_: just realize NTFS and Linux do not blend well, NTFS fragments and corrupts easily and linux wont be able to fix it :( [06:25] harrisony, wouldn't i need "extended" fat otherwise files have to be less than 4gb? [06:25] dsnyders: can't open display? that's just an urban legend. [06:25] booh-, do you mean display or virtual workplace/desktop? [06:25] display [06:25] heater_: exFAT is as bad as NTFS [06:25] booh-, so you have more then 1 Xorg running at the same time? [06:26] don't know. [06:26] brando753, oh....well i was unaware, so how would i go about, without fat32, having a drive easily swapped between windows and ubuntu? [06:26] heater_: its microsoft closed source [06:26] I have 2 display [06:26] dsnyders: are you in X? [06:26] 2 screen [06:26] booh-, like two monitors you mean? [06:26] 2 monitors yes [06:26] I see my mouse on both [06:26] heater_: if you are using the same windows box then I would recomend ext2 as there are programs that let windows see it one sec... [06:26] crdlb, No, [ctrl][alt][f1] terminal [06:27] booh-, don't "think" there is a way to do it, certainly not the command you where given before - that's for multiple Xorg sessions [06:27] harrisony, brando753, the drive is for my HTPC which has HD movies/TV shows, so FAT32 is an absolute negative seeing how most of the movies are between 6 and 18 GB [06:27] heater_: http://www.fs-driver.org/ [06:27] hi , i upgrade my ubuntu from 9.04 to 9.10 today and now my KDE have a bog problem can u help me? [06:27] heater_: your next best option is ext2/3 and using the windows ext2 driver [06:27] as i said :D [06:27] brando753, ahhh alright, well brando you just made me have to buy an 2tb external drive.....thanks ;) lol [06:28] If I go on monitor2, I can open calculator for exemple... If I go to monitor1, I can open another app... [06:28] but I want to start some app automaticly... [06:28] harrisony, when you say ext2 driver will it support ext3? [06:28] heater_: usally it wont [06:29] heater_: yep [06:29] heater_: stick with ext2 and you might be fine [06:29] heater_: ext3 drivers are very flaky last time i used them [06:29] heater_, no. ext3 will handle ext2, but not the other way around. Ditto for ext4/3 [06:29] brando753, here is my question then, what is the real advantage between ext2 and 3? [06:29] heater_: http://www.fs-driver.org/faq.html#acc_ext3 [06:29] heater_: 1 sec [06:30] heater_: ext3 has journaling. thats the difference [06:30] haduh [06:30] heater_, ext3 uses journaling, ext2 does not - thus it's more fault tollerant [06:30] heater_: yup thats the big diffrence not that bad [06:31] heater_, i wouldn't recommend trying to get ext3 going under windows (is BOUND to be flaky), but i also doubt you can apply permission to a single directory with NTFS mounting on linux --- rock and a hard place [06:31] brando753, ahhhh alright thanks, well shoot, i was trying to solve a problem and thought i was being creative but ended up just creating a bigger problem lol [06:31] ZykoticK9: I'm reading an ext3 drive on my windows box right now [06:31] heater_: well whats the bigger problem? [06:32] ZykoticK9, the only reason i would need the windows box to read it is if something went wrong with the other cmputer to get all the data off of the drive.....don't want to have to redownload ~1tb of data [06:32] brando753, permissions is the bigger problem [06:33] bradford, used to have OS and data on same drive....then separated them using NTFS for data [06:33] brando753, used to have OS and data on same drive....then separated them using NTFS for data [06:33] bradford, sorry :p [06:33] dsnyders: oh, then do DISPLAY=:0 xrandr [06:34] what about ettercap? [06:35] how to I manualy update ubuntu file indexing? [06:35] <^sn00per^> updatedb [06:35] well if it uses locate... [06:36] wich i dont know if the desktop app does that [06:36] crdlb, I'm getting the following errors: No protocol specified.

I thought it was limited just using VLC but I also see it with Xine. Available Ram steadily decreases until theres about 10-15MB remaining and then stops. It doesnt go back up after the proccesses are killed and I have to reboot. 'top' doesnt report VLC or Xine as using more than 2% of memory. Any ideas? [06:41] wtf, how come i can't do "date %s" to get the unixtime? [06:41] dumont: "date +%s" [06:42] uhhh thanks [06:42] grendal_prime, yes. My x is not working somehow. I don't get a login or anything. Just the lcd monitor's "input not supported" error message. [06:44] grendal_prime, So I'm looking for a way to see what the resolution is in order to figure out what's going on. [06:44] booh-, hey man thanks - very cool to know [06:44] ya cant hep ya there..sorry. sounds like x is not working [06:47] Hi all! Is there a command for displaying the current xwindows resolution? [06:47] is it normal for installing ubuntu on usb stick using ubuntu alternate cd? its taking forever to install the "Select and install software" part [06:48] Dunno, maybe slow USB reading, seanbrystone [06:48] usb 2.0 [06:48] ZykoticK9, yes... cool... I have 4 monitors and I start 4 app full screen for monitoring on dedicated box... in init.d... all is working :) [06:49] booh-, unfortunately doesn't seem to affect twinview (which makes sense), so no help to me :(...

I display schedules on it... developped in java [06:50] my lsb_release is 8.10 but the actual is 9.04, then, i wanna upgrade to 9.10 using do-release-upgrade, but i can't, anyone help me.. [06:50] one month by TV... [06:51] for shipping and installation... [06:52] what resolution from ubuntu or even windows do you get on those 40inchers? [06:52] 1920 x 1080 [06:52] cool [06:52] IF you use 1080p TV [06:52] 720p give me less resolution [06:52] Problem with 1080p is... you can't use USB to VGA :( [06:53] USB bandwidth can't do 1080p [06:54] 1280 x 1024 is the maximum for usb-2-vga [06:54] So I had to use pci card instead... (I wanted use mini-itx computer at first time!) [06:55] booh-, So you're using a usb based graphics card rather than agp/pci/whatever? [06:55] dsnyders, no... I change my mind and use pci with dual head [06:56] I drive 4 screens on an micro-atx computer. And 1 screen on a mini-itx computer. [06:56] all on wifi network [06:56] to refresh...

It was working a week ago. [06:57] by the way, ubuntu run very well on mini-itx (ASUS ITX-220) [06:58] Ah, Ubuntu works awesomely on Asus machines [06:58] booh-, I'll make a note of that. I plan on replacing my motherboard later this year. 800 MHz ain't cutting it like it used to. [06:58] what is the php.exe equivalent in linux? or when we give "php foo.php" where is it referred? [06:58] I try Ubuntu on mini-itx (ASUS) with 2Gig RAM and do an install on 8Gig USB Stick... [06:58] no harddrive or cdrom [06:59] chipgeri: rephrase the queastion what are you asking? [07:00] chipgeri, i'm no developer but you might need the package "php5-cli" if you're using php5 [07:00] dsnyders do Ctrl+Alt+F7 or F5 [07:00] It makes a kind of embed computer for cheap!!! :) a mini-itx box, the motherboard mini-itx and 2GIg on RAM + an usb stick. That's it! :) [07:00] chipgeri, type in whereis php [07:00] and a wifi usb dongle..

[07:05] ZykoticK9, 9.04 [07:05] My problem : I cannot save Desktop Gnome Panell menu, when I restart menu is go out [07:06] dsnyders, do you currently have an xorg.conf located at /etc/X11/xorg.conf? if so, you might want to move it to a new name and see if that helps [07:06] <^sn00per^> look in your xorg.conf dsnyders [07:06] I have search.... in google this problem but.... I cannot found solution === mike is now known as Guest13786 [07:06] i have gogled this already and cant find a workable solution my problem is that my ps3 and xbox controllers get automatically recognized as mice any suggestions? [07:06] how "safe" is resizing partitions? [07:06] i have 2 partitions, an NTFS and an ext4 [07:07] i wanna make my NTFS smaller and my ext4 bigger [07:07] and maybe add a swap [07:07] this may seem like a stupid question.. but is there a way to seemlessly upgrade to a newer version of ubuntu? or do I have to go ahead and install said newer version? [07:07] jsilver, there is always "some" risk to it -- but it's "kinda" safe [07:07] ok [07:07] thanks [07:09] pvc, you can upgrade if you wish (not sure i understand your question though), but fresh installs often result in fewer "issues" -- and sometimes slightly differnet features, for example people who upgraded to 9.10 didn't get grub2 or ext4 root partitions [07:09] exuseme?? [07:09] ZykoticK9, I mean could I Keep all of my same files without making any backups by upgrading? [07:09] http://pastebin.com/hBb8LB69 i got a solution online but i still have issues this pastebin is my input and output [07:10] futuro82, can you clarify what you mean by "menu is go out" [07:10] hello everyone [07:10] pvc, with an upgrade sure - but it's HIGHLY recommended you have a backup (think that's one of the first things the upgrade says actually) [07:11] of course. [07:11] ZykoticK9: I mean when I restart pc menu is not present in the pannel [07:11] :) [07:11] i have some question? [07:11] ZykoticK9, I created a directory and moved xorg.conf and all its variants into it, then did a gdm restart. I now have a working display. Where the blazes is x getting its config with no xorg.conf file? [07:11] in that case.. it might actually be better to just backup files and install the new version (for me) [07:11] pvc, personally i don't do upgrade, only fresh installs --- on the VM i upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 it did work fine [07:11] ZykoticK9: I click on dx mouse and add it every session [07:11] i honestly prefer to google or read the manual but i am completely dead ended here [07:11] i wanna play zynga poker in hardy heron, can i? [07:12] Hi.. Is there a GUI duplicate file finder that will actually consider file names and not just md5s of the files? [07:12] this is a hypothetical scenario of course; I already have the newest version... but ubuntu is really prone to putting out newer versions [07:12] dsnyders, i don't remember if it was like this in 9.04 as well, but karmic certainly starts with no xorg -- autoconfig or something its called [07:12] dsnyders: udev [07:12] i upgraded to 9.10 and i got grub2 [07:13] hm.. [07:13] djhash, have you already tried fslint? i know it does the md5, but it has LOTS of options, might do names only (not sure though) [07:13] !gnome pannel do not save menu [07:13] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [07:13] ZykoticK9, udev, okay... how do I set the resolution to something decent? [07:14] i have googled this already and cant find a workable solution my problem is that my ps3 and xbox controllers get automatically recognized as mice any suggestions? [07:14] http://pastebin.com/hBb8LB69 i got a solution online but i still have issues this pastebin is my input and output [07:14] hey .. i installed 9.1 today and wifi is not working as usual .. so i changed my sources to cd rom restarted and a hardware driver was available (B43 Wireless) i did lspci and it revealed the same model .. i tried activating it but it still says driver not activated ... what do i do now? [07:14] ZykoticK9: I am currently using fslint. But the options ..... oh wait.. maybe I should click on the button that says "name clashes"... as i shoot myself in the head!!!!!! [07:14] dsnyders, i'd recommend using the nvidia-settings tool (you might need to run "sudo nvidia-xconfig" to generate an xorg first mind you) [07:15] djhash, i don't think suicide is in-order, lol [07:15] I NEED to make some coupons for my company. Any ideas an ht graphix dept [07:15] my network manager and battery icon are missing on my panel, how do I readd them? [07:15] they arent on the list of available items to add [07:16] WAawaawEE: add the notification area [07:16] ZykoticK9: I can't believe I missed it. I guess that's what I get for getting to work just when I wake up in the middle of the night. [07:16] nice [07:16] i love you [07:16] ZykoticK9, I tried running the display option off the system menu. It said that I need to run the nvidia version. The nvidia version said I wasn't running using nvidia drivers. Sigh! [07:16] i have gogled this already and cant find a workable solution my problem is that my ps3 and xbox controllers get automatically recognized as mice any suggestions? [07:16] http://pastebin.com/hBb8LB69 i got a solution online but i still have issues this pastebin is my input and output [07:17] :( [07:17] dsnyders, catch-22 i'd say. try installing nvidia drivers i guess. [07:17] one more question this bothers me everyday... when i close my laptop and it goes into hibernate the wifi device says not ready and never turns back on.. i have to close it and open it again [07:17] is there a terminal command to restart the devices like in winblows [07:18] ZykoticK9: http://library.gnome.org/admin/system-admin-guide/stable/menustructure-13.html.it [07:18] *close my laptop [07:18] ZykoticK9, nvidia-xconfig created an xorg.conf for me. I guess I need to restart x and then run the display tool. [07:19] futuro82, was the meant to be sent to me? I don't speak spanish i'm affraid [07:19] dsnyders, certainly try that [07:19] WAawaawEE, you can try unloading the kernel module loaded for that device and reload it [07:19] ZykoticK9: I am italian :) [07:19] k thanks [07:19] futuro82, oh sorry < ignorant canadian [07:20] whats the best desktop publishing app? [07:20] ZykoticK9: but you have understood my problem? [07:20] i have gogled this already and cant find a workable solution my problem is that my ps3 and xbox controllers get automatically recognized as mice any suggestions? [07:20] something similar to corel draw? [07:20] http://pastebin.com/hBb8LB69 i got a solution online but i still have issues this pastebin is my input and output [07:20] futuro82, are you trying to add an item to the panel or in the menu? [07:20] hello, I want Windows users to introduce their username and password each time they access the file home on samba server. What should contain smb.conf? Which is the command line and what should contain? [07:21] yes... I am searching solution by internet [07:21] how to I manualy update ubuntu file indexing? [07:21] WAawaawEE, the commands are (unloading) 'sudo rmmod ' and 'sudo modprobe ' - what the module name is depends on the wireless chip, e.g. ath9k [07:21] Geoni, if you don't get an answer here, you might want to ask the same thing in #samba [07:22] I just logged in and got automatic advertisement spam from user "MIRC". How to avoid such spams? [07:22] ok tk u [07:22] thanks again chef [07:23] maybe I have found solution [07:23] i have gogled this already and cant find a workable solution my problem is that my ps3 and xbox controllers get automatically recognized as mice any suggestions? [07:23] http://pastebin.com/hBb8LB69 i got a solution online but i still have issues this pastebin is my input and output [07:23] Who is this Mirc? why he send me spams? how to stop him? [07:24] abhi_nav: Go to #freenode, they might help. He spams me too [07:24] i like spam lightly browned with mayo lettuce and tomato [07:24] ok [07:24] far better as spam fritters yumme [07:25] oooh yea [07:25] i think spamburgers r better though [07:26] hole_, "apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-input-joystick" is it installed currently? I remember this issue with a PS2 controller, don't remember how i fixed it. also have you seen https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-evdev/+bug/274203 [07:26] anyone here using terminator...if so how do you turn on the transparency [07:26] I think mirc is a windows chat programme [07:26] it is [07:26] Tesssa: you are right, it's for IRC. [07:26] until recently, that's what I primarily used for IRC [07:27] how to install JVM on ubuntu 9.04 [07:27] :/ [07:27] can we move on, the person is removed from the channel and is not here anymore [07:27] ok [07:27] lookin at link now and i am not sure i just installed ubuntu netbook remix [07:27] i don't think its free anymore [07:27] mIRC is proprietary [07:27] Hello, World! I've done everything including blacklist pcspkr to get my system to not beep on shutdown, but it still does!!! I've isolated the annoying beep to the shutdown command itself -- does anyone know how to suppress this sound or maybe trigger a more pleasant one? [07:27] it is pretty much free [07:27] but it has a nag screen when you load it [07:28] pvc: Please stop. mIRC isn't really ontopic, thanks. [07:28] !free | pvc [07:28] pvc: freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing [07:28] okay... this is getting real annoying... how do I keep nm-applet from prompting me for passwords to networks that it already has after connection failures? [07:28] sorry, flannel [07:28] hey I recently tryed the ubuntu 9.1 cd in live cd mode - it was working awesome and that [07:29] i have a raid 0 array for my win7 install.. and i opened it up from inside ubuntu seemed like everything was fine it worked as i expected [07:29] i restart to boot into win7 and .. array is failed.. funny thing is though ubuntu can still read it [07:29] wtf [07:29] lol [07:29] idyle: I saw that a lot in fresh jackalope installs, and it didn't go away until I upgraded to koala. === carlo_ is now known as Guest46253 [07:29] !enter | sh4z [07:29] sh4z: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [07:30] sporkboy: yeah I'm running karmic [07:30] sorry its a bad habit [07:30] I'm making a live USB and I'm formatting my flash drive before I run the "USB Startup Disk Creator". What format should I use? [07:30] sporkboy: lots of stuff got fixed with the newer kernels, but this still happens and it drives me nuts [07:30] idyle: is it like the multiple beep (almost a ringing)? [07:30] Ntfs [07:31] sporkboy: nope, just SUPER LOUD system beep that makes your ears implode and sink into your head [07:31] ZykoticK9, Okay, I deleted xorg.conf. Then I ran nvidia-xconfig and did a gdm-restart and x borked again. I deleted xorg.conf again and now its working. [07:31] shouldnt there be some sort of warning with regards to intel raid stripe arrays being currupted ? [07:31] dsnyders, sorry man i don't know what to suggest [07:32] ZykoticK9, it says there are unmet dependancies when i tried to install xserver-xorg-input-joystick [07:32] dsnyders, do you have multiple nvidia drivers to choose from? perhaps tried one of the others? [07:32] Guest46253: are you going to use this usb for any other data transer purposes? [07:32] Nope. Just for installing Ubuntu 9.10 on my netbook [07:32] hole_, with UNR i'm not surprised actually - don't know what to suggest for you either... ZykoticK9 is fail right now [07:32] Guest46253: then prefer ext3 [07:33] <^sn00per^> dsnyders, have you tried lower your res or editing conf file? [07:33] why ext3? [07:33] ZykoticK9, thank you for trying though [07:33] hole_, hope you get it figured out man [07:33] hi all :) [07:33] Guest46253: its table [07:34] anyone know to to fix lsb_release? mine is wrong [07:34] !ext3 Guest46253 [07:34] Guest46253, if you're making a USB disk i think your only choice is FAT actually [07:34] ZykoticK9, maybe. I was trying to fix http://imagebin.org/85792 so I downloaded another driver. [07:34] !ext3 | Guest46253 [07:34] Guest46253: ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org [07:34] ZykoticK9, think maybe a gamepad without joysticks? i mean i only play snes.nes,and genesis games anyway [07:35] Guest46253: its Stable version [07:35] hole_, my PS2 controller works on UNR [07:35] with an adapter i assume [07:35] is ubuntu meant to break raid stripe configuration data ? [07:36] dsnyders, i don't actually see a problem with your screenshot - but i've never used KPovModeler before either, so not too sure what it should look like [07:36] oo found bug on google [Bug 488461] - ubuntu 9.1 breaks raid array [07:36] ^sn00per^, my resolution is 800x600 and I have no xorg.conf to edit. [07:36] hole_, yes an adapter. Most joysticks/game pads "should" work -- you happen to have two that are exceptions to that rule [07:37] <^sn00per^> humm [07:37] !raid | sh4z [07:37] sh4z: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [07:37] <^sn00per^> usually xorg logs the error [07:37] so... any ideas on getting network manager to stop asking me for passwords it already has? [07:38] ZykoticK9, many ppl have my same issue [07:38] ZykoticK9, it should look like http://docs.kde.org/development/en/extragear-graphics/kpovmodeler/defaultviewlayout.png [07:38] thanks abhi_nav [07:38] sh4z: Welcome! [07:38] <^sn00per^> try looking in your log dsnyders [07:39] dsnyders, ahh, yes they certainly don't look the same do they [07:39] ZykoticK9, there is a fix i found online it worked for others but not me its on the pastebin [07:39] http://pastebin.com/hBb8LB69 [07:40] /part [07:40] hole_, that's certainly beyond me man, i've never used xinput before sorry, best of luck [07:41] nomad77: dont use spaces type from the start [07:41] lol [07:41] <^sn00per^> xorg usually logs the error and it will tell you what its complaining about [07:43] ^sn00per^, Thanks for the pointer. It looks like x is using the nv driver, which would explain why the nvidia config tool is failing. [07:45] <^sn00per^> dsnyders, now when linux complains about something look in the logs it should tell ya usually [07:45] hi, i want to run a program. however, it requires me to create an environment variable which points to a specific directory. how do i do t hat? [07:45] and just to mention that i'm not well-versed in programming and new to ubuntu [07:46] <^sn00per^> its a good to remember :) [07:48] ^sn00per^, True, but you have to know what to look for, and when your display is so borked that you can't log in... [07:49] learst, VARIABLE=/path/to/directory command [07:49] learst, Both on the same line [07:49] thanks Jordan_U, going to try that [07:49] <^sn00per^> true then there is ssh dsnyders [07:50] ^sn00per^, I went that route. [07:50] learst, np, you can also "export VARIABLE" to make it available to any commands you start from that shell. [07:51] <^sn00per^> dsnyders i figured you would [07:52] ^sn00per^, Fortunately I've got a KVM and a second machine a couple of keypresses away. [07:53] <^sn00per^> heh [07:53] Jordan_U, sorry u lost me there. I don't really know much bout programming. Still not fully sure what are things like shell, bash command etc [07:53] hmm, didn't seem to work though. damn [07:55] hi. Where can i find mysql-server 4.0.27.deb ? [07:55] learst, a shell is a program that gives you a command prompt. In linux there are half a dozen different shell programs available. Bash is one of them. [07:55] learst, What is the program you are trying to run? [07:56] dsnyders, thanks. so that means the terminal programme in ubuntu is a "shell"? [07:56] learst, yes, exactly. [07:56] security.ubuntu.com down for quite some time now? [07:56] hi there. can someone tell me the german channel please? [07:56] Jordan_U. a multiple alignment programme - dialign2. Heres' the instructions for installation: to run DIALIGN2, you must create an environment variable `DIALIGN2_DIR' pointing to the directory `dialign2_dir' [07:57] Leela, #ubuntu-de [07:57] thanks Jordan_U [07:57] learst, it's difficult to explain but the terminal will run some shell: bash, sh, csh, bourne are all different shells that can be run in the same "terminal" [07:57] Leela, Bite :) [07:57] thanks dsnyders, ZykoticK9 [07:58] s/Bite/Bitte [07:59] hellou [07:59] :) [07:59] need old packages for ubuntu [07:59] Jordan_U, btw I've transfered the executable part of the progamme (dialign2-2) to the bin folder [07:59] does anyone know how to set an alarm / is that possible at all? [07:59] hi [08:00] hi [08:00] hi [08:00] hello, I have some problem to install openLdap in ubuntu, can you help me [08:00] <^sn00per^> what kind of alarm? [08:00] just an alarm that beeps every hour. somehow on the pc... [08:01] <^sn00per^> i m tryin to remember the app for it [08:01] thanks :) [08:02] learst, Take a look at the "emboss" package. [08:02] Jordan_U, oh. ok i'll try looking for it. for some reason emboss sounds really familiar. :) [08:03] and thanks, Jordan_U. [08:03] learst, Do you know about the package manager? [08:03] !info alarm-clock | Leela [08:03] Leela: alarm-clock (source: alarm-clock): Alarm Clock for GTK Environments. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.19-1 (karmic), package size 579 kB, installed size 1968 kB [08:03] thanks Slart and ubottu [08:03] Jordan_U. i think so. it's the synaptic package manager right [08:03] learst, Yes [08:04] <^sn00per^> ah yes thats it [08:04] Leela, ubottu is a chat bot. I don't think it appreciates your gratitude. [08:05] dsnyders, didn't know that [08:05] I have some problem with ubuntu and installing the OpenLDAP, can you help me [08:05] thanks ubottu [08:05] ubottu: thanks [08:05] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [08:06] Jordan_U. ok, downloading EMBOSS now. No wonder it sounded familiar. Are u doing bioinformatics too? :P [08:06] learst, No, I just searched in apt :) [08:07] Jordan_U: apt? [08:08] [D [08:08] oops sry [08:08] learst, Synaptic is a GUI front end for a set of commands ( apt-file, apt-cache, apt-get ). [08:09] Jordan_U: Actually, they're both independant frontends to the apt library [08:09] Jordan_U: oh ok. thanks a lot for being patient and explaining stuff to me. thought it doesn't seem to be downloading though. maybe i'll try again later. [08:09] thanks again Jordan_U [08:09] Flannel, Thanks [08:10] learst, np [08:10] oh, thanks too Flannel [08:13] Some how, I have managed to lose my System>Administration>Software Sources. That is, Software Sources does not exist in the menu. How do I fix this? [08:13] zagabar: morning, found any solution [08:16] How to use oprofile on ubuntu 9.10 [08:16] Lostinspace_46: Is the package "software-properties-gtk [08:16] " installed?

That flashing Ubuntu logo? [08:21] TopGear: xplash me believe. [08:21] wasn't that the screen before and just after the login screen? [08:22] TopGear, usplash [08:22] TopGear: xsplash* -- You're thinking usplash, then after login screen, it is xsplash. [08:23] kinja-sheep, xsplash is before the login screen [08:23] Isn't it Grub>usplash>xsplash>login>xsplash? [08:24] TopGear, Yes ( though I'm not sure about xsplash being after the login screen also ) [08:24] ys [08:24] yes [08:24] not so long, but it is there [08:24] ok [08:25] does anyone know a way to take unused space on a hdd and create a partition seperate out of it? [08:25] I've allready replaced my login theme and my xsplash [08:25] TopGear: You can live without usplash and xsplash. :) [08:25] now just only the usplash [08:25] TopGear, usplash and xsplash will both be replaced by plymouth in 10.04 though [08:25] Yes, i CAN, but i don't want it [08:25] ok [08:25] better [08:25] !hi [08:25] Hi!

It's wireless but it always worked and if i try to run Gentoo on the other HD i get the same problem in the GRUB (i can't start any OS), luckily there i have a timer that starts the OS after 10 sec and then the Keyboard works... ANy tips? [08:32] matteo1990: have you recently turned off Legacy USB support in your BIOS? [08:32] Skeptik, yes i use gparted before with the backup [08:32] ripon: Ask your questions [08:32] Skeptik, sorry with the resize for catch space in another partition [08:32] rww, i dont'even know what you are talking :D Hope this may help to answer =) [08:32] Skeptik, but i dont now why partitionimage resize partition target at size of restore [08:33] q: what's the best way to backup ubuntu>/ [08:33] Skeptik, the problem is that gparted see the partition in 45gb... and df command in 28gb...

[08:34] ripon: Kopete sometimes is buggy, it didn't connect anywhere for me too, try Pidgin [08:34] matteo1990: A lot of BIOS setup tools have an option for legacy USB support. Turning it off generally causes that problem. It wouldn't affect your ability to use the keyboard in the BIOS setup tool itself.

[10:24] same I cant see other pcs in my network [10:24] jonoinnz can we go to a private chat? [10:24] josepa did you install something that could have caused it to stop working? [10:24] hola [10:24] sure [10:25] thnx [10:25] anyone know of an app to view network trafic in terminal?

[10:26] jonoinnz, why did it get installed and configured today? Is it a requirement for some other package? === JDempster is now known as Guest84717 [10:26] kinja-sheep: I've found out that since 9.04 Ubuntu treated those icons as the same type of the content and you were not allowed to separate them without serious tweaking... now, that has changed and I don't know how... an XML file in .nautilus/metafiles? I don't know... [10:26] you do not need it, you can remove it if you wish [10:27] sandbu: try nethogs [10:27] madjoe: My installation is a little different so I don't have those custom icons/emblems on the folders. I'm not sure what packages provides that in first place. [10:29] @sandbu or wireshark [10:29] kinja-sheep: ok, forget about those icons, I can live without them... :) what about this funny annoying notification beep sound in Ubuntu... I tried to blacklist pcspkr, I tried to get rid of it with no luck [10:29] sandbu: or iftop [10:30] madjoe: Check Sounds. Don't use any sound theme, maybe. [10:30] madjoe: iirc pcspkr is already blacklisted since karmic. [10:30] kinja-sheep: almost every application bugs me with this beep and I would like some descent sound theme notification instead.. I have a normal sound if I want to listen to my songs... in Sounds I couldn't find anything useful... [10:31] witam [10:31] kinja-sheep: I've set a sound theme which doesn't work properly... [10:31] hi all, quick question: whats the difference between a persistant liveUSB install and just a plain install directly onto the USB stick? [10:32] liveUSB is generally for any PC .. a direct install only for this but may also work on other:) [10:36] Slart: ty!§ [10:38] j0nr: Meh. If you don't use persistent method, it's like using a liveUSB where everything will be wiped out when you're done with it. Personal files + settings. [10:39] how to configure Pan in Ubuntu? do i need first to register on some newsgroups server? [10:45] can i safely have more then one gcc installed on my jaunty.... [10:45] installing using apt,,,not from source [10:47] sure. the link in /usr/bin/gcc is important. better not to touch it. if u want do use another version use the direct path to it [10:48] so if i just install another one ,,the link in /usr/bin/gcc would not change on its own , right ? [10:49] i watch a movie on vlc but my screens fade out to black [10:49] help [10:49] u can look at the link .. install another version and control:) [10:49] so i have to move mouse every few minutes [10:49] Mardenkein:thx [10:49] Is there an application that will help me learn algebra in ubuntu ?

It is indeed faster, but i have a lot of memory so it's same for me lol [12:12] un;ess I can boot Solaris with Linux's Grub [12:13] theadmin, thats what i was thinking too. i guess to each their own when it comes to desktop environments...

I just had to re-install my system and I chose to go for the 10.04 daily builds. However, I'm having some problems with my sound. I'm using coaxial digital audio, which was always peculiar, since I had to restart alsa and pulseaudio before sound would work. Now, since alsa seems to be missing, restarting pulseaudio doesn't help. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get sound to work again? :-) [12:30] dr_willis; was editing a different entry [12:31] to get ftp privs working for another user [12:31] avirulence: #ubuntu+1 for 10.4 help [12:31] Wormwood: Here you go: http://pastebin.com/easPNXew [12:32] Thanks theadmin, really appriciate it [12:32] And the lesson for the day is - when editing system config files..

[12:33] !hcl > aethelrick [12:33] aethelrick, please see my private message [12:34] I've got Ubuntu 9.10 x64 and grub 2. I want to change the screen after the grub (usplash I thought) [12:34] But I can't [12:34] Hm, it was simple with Grub 1, but Grub 2 is overcomplicated [12:35] when I add the .so in startup manager, nothing happens [12:35] after the grub I get a white bar in the left upper corner of my screen [12:35] and that's it [12:35] after that I get the normal Xsplash [12:36] there are a wiki for changing usplash on ubuntu [12:36] By the way, with GRUB2, screen blinks a couple of times before booting. What the? [12:37] u need to install this packages. apt-get source usplash-theme-ubuntu [12:37] sudo apt-get build-dep usplash-theme-ubuntu [12:37] after that u find a directory named usplash [12:37] please send the link for changing usplash [12:37] foun only the german link [12:37] http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Bootsplash_anpassen [12:37] well [12:38] what is the alternate for md5 command? [12:39] abhi_nav: alternate? it doesn't work for you? [12:40] no md5 dont work [12:40] abhi_nav: It's "md5sum", no? [12:40] hi, please, when I reboot or shutdown the pc, and it starts to load, the grubs shows some lines to select which os I wanna run, how can I remove that? I don't have any other os installed, I don't know why are two ubuntu's there [12:40] abhi_nav: well.. there are lots of checksumming apps out there.. since you don't say anything about *why* md5 doesn't work for you I can't really recommend anything [12:40] i am doing this: $ md5 ossec-wui-0.3.tar.gz [12:41] abhi_nav: try md5sum instead [12:41] papaitoo: It's likely an old kernel, or do you mean the recovery mode? [12:41] If taring a directory ie. tar cvzf foo.tar.gz /usr/local/somedir how can I make tar create only the last directory so that when untarred, it just tars to somedir and not to /usr/local/somedir [12:41] theadmin: both [12:42] Well, damn. I'm unfamiliar with GRUB2, it's confusing [12:43] how do I update my grub? is I already removed an os [12:43] if [12:44] I am doing ossec installation while trying to use gpg key its gives me this error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/382943/ Can i just use software sources to add gpg key manually? [12:44] md5sum worked for me thnx [12:44] papaitoo: Best thing i can recommend is changing "set timeout=10" to some smaller number (line 36 in /boot/grub/grub.cfg) [12:44] chimp: I would somehow expect there to be a "don't include full path"-switch somewhere in man tar.. but I didn't find anything [12:45] theadmin: sounds cool!, you know how to update the grubs? reconfigure? after I removed other os? [12:45] papaitoo: Actually, maybe running grub-install /dev/devicename, but don't know more then that [12:45] make easily a new entry in grub.cfg..next reboot grub should it show [12:46] Mardenkein: uhm? didn't get it [12:46] Slart: Yeah I looked for it, couldn't find anything, only solution I find is to cd to the directory first, which is annoying [12:46] in /boot/grub/grub.cfg u see the bootentry [12:46] there u copy one entry and change the name and the root hdd [12:47] after, save, says: You are trying to save the file on a read-only disk.

[12:50] ghostlines: its working fine with sudo [12:50] mmhh anyway u need read write permmission on root hdd.. [12:50] anyone tried the xi2 multiple input with the ubuntu 10.04 ? it ROCKS [12:51] then u make it with a live system and mount ur hdd by hand [12:51] ...not even sure what is xi2 [12:51] abe3k: #ubuntu+1 [12:51] abe3k: we've all tried it.. but we secretely gather in #ubuntu+1 to discuss 10.04.. [12:51] abe3k: =) [12:52] iceroot, i appreciate any help but that doesn't answer my question [12:53] ghostlines: probably because of the whole "sudo instead of root" thing.. [12:53] yesterday i saw a man said he encounter a problem,he compile kernel and come out the message:unable to find a suitable fs in /proc/mounts,is it mounted? today ,i encounter it too,any help? [12:53] ghostlines: That means that root configs don't have the completion, and you have to learn to use "sudo -i" instead of "sudo su" or "su root" [12:54] ghostlines: I'm not sure if it's a setting in .bashrc .. or somewhere else.. (I've seen the autocompletion stuff mentioned somewhere but I can't remember) [12:54] theadmin: well.. it doesn't autocomplete when you use sudo -i either [12:54] Slart: Hum. [12:55] yesterday i saw a man said he encounter a problem,he compileunable to find a suitable fs in /proc/mounts,is it mounted? today ,i encounter it too,any help? [12:55] Strange :/ sorry then no idea [12:55] theadmin: I was kind of hoping it would.. =) [12:55] guys.. we are trying to set up a wireless desktop network: we really want it to be as solid as a wired network. Any ideas on what is a really good PCI or USB wireless G card for Ubuntu 9.10 ? [12:55] hi guys [12:56] I have a question [12:56] SandGorgon, wireless will never be as solid as wired [12:56] theadmin, normal system users have tab completion and root doesn't what happened to the open source's freedom? [12:56] Hehehe. Keyboard volume controls work on Linux but not on Windows lolz [12:56] Sorry for ot [12:56] theadmin, I don't have to learn how to use sudo -i etccc, i have to learn how to set my root config's tab completion [12:56] Okay, I managed to get in using the 'Finnix recovery console' my VPS provides [12:56] are there any ubuntu books that are released under GPL in a PDF format available online? [12:56] ghostlines: of course it does, because you dont have to use root [12:56] I went into /etc/passwd and it looks like the root entry is still in there [12:57] ghostlines: using root is not supported here [12:57] if so what are they? [12:57] mattwj2002: I'm not sure if it's gpl.. probably not.. but there's the ubuntu pocket guide.. the pdf is free [12:57] dlynes, true.. anything as near as possible. basically looking for opinion on a really good USB wireless card [12:57] iceroot, apparently so, as if sudo solves all the problems and no damage can be done [12:57] iceroot, but so be it, i use the so i gotta obey the rules or tweak it [12:57] ghostlines: and if you want to learn how to configure it. vim ~/.bashrc [12:58] SandGorgon, You do realize that most wireless cards supported by XP are also supported by Linux? [12:58] iceroot, thanks man, gunna check it out [12:58] okay [12:58] I am doing ossec installation while trying to use gpg key its gives me this error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/382943/ Can i just use software sources to add gpg key manually? [12:59] dang the reason I ask is because I was hoping to add some computer books to wikisource but we would need a compatible license [12:59] SandGorgon, Linux has a wrapper for wireless network card drivers, that will allow you to use the Windows drivers [12:59] the pocket guide is copywriten [12:59] us.archive.ubuntu.com appears to be down ... http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/us.archive.ubuntu.com [12:59] For Webkit i wanted libsoup 2.29 and i had 2.24 installed so i removed 2.24 and installed 2.29 but while removing 2.24 it said removing evolution etc stuff .. now after restarting i got a small terminal in the upper left corner and no desktop [12:59] SandGorgon, that being said, there's also a usb guide for Linux, to let you know what hardware is well supported [12:59] dlynes, I was thinking more on lines of kernel drivers - like those for intel wireless . Are there any options like that for USB Wireless G [13:00] SandGorgon, yes...they're usually complemented with a system service [13:00] dlynes, I did check the page and got a list of USB wireless adapters.. but dunno which one is the "best" ? (if I can call that) [13:00] can someone help me how to restart and get my desktop back [13:00] BugeyeD: Because there is no such site. US is in the "main" archive, which is archive.ubuntu.com [13:01] iceroot, thanks alot dude i "fixed" it [13:01] SandGorgon, at least for the wireless cards that are built into laptops with the centrino chipsets [13:01] Hello internet [13:01] how are you? [13:01] I am having a small problem with ubuntu. [13:01] iceroot, they don't condone it but the settings nicely there commented out lol :p [13:02] Matthu: Hello, $USER. What is your problem?

[13:02] ok my problem: [13:02] Menus flicker in full screen when watching a video through firefox. [13:03] BugeyeD: Hm, dunno. I use default install and it downloads everything from archive.ubuntu.com [13:03] theadmin: and if there's no such site, it shouldn't have an A record [13:03] Also, i can't seem to get the same ratio aspect as i can in windows.

For me, it's using ru.archive.ubuntu.com, but previous install used main one :D [13:04] Rany: Can you navigate to where the pic is stored and right click set as background? [13:05] rany: my bad u cant do that hehe [13:05] Matthu: I can drag and drop [13:06] Matthu: but i want to know where is the main dir for backgrounds [13:07] /usr/share/backgrounds/ ¿ [13:07] hiyas [13:08] xangua: thanks, but the problem is that i want to move some pictures to this folder and then be able to go Right Click->Set Backgrounds , and see them there, but i dont. so i thought there is some other location im not aware of. [13:08] I have been trying to install xubuntu on an old PIII vaio notebook, question relates to xorg rather than distro, have been booting to black screen since first install, have tryed to reconfigure xorg but seems to pick up the same 'black screen configuration'. Have also been getting a GRUB 'no such disk' error, which seeing as I only have one OS it seems to figure itself out and boot anyway. I can TTY fine also. Hope there is someone here tha [13:09] www.search2.net [13:09] hi [13:09] theadmin: Any information for me regarding full screen menus flickering when watching a video in full screen using ubuntu 9.10? [13:10] hello [13:10] does somebody know an alternative to pastebinit? cause this programed does not function anymore, cause pastebin changed his code [13:10] Matthu: Had that sometimes, but no idea.

[13:10] ati xpress 1100 [13:11] xangua: maybe the backgrounds application just reads the backgrounds each from its path instead of a main directory for all? [13:11] exs: cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit -i - -b http://pastey.net - works, no? [13:11] abe3k: ati xpress 1100 [13:11] SandGorgon, Looks like according to the linux-usb.org site that there aren't any wireless devices that are well supported natively....however, depending on the Linux distro you're using Intel ipw3945 is supported (although if you upgrade your kernel, it might not be), ... [13:11] abe3k: also i cant seem to attain the aspect ratio i want. using megavideo i cant get the same aspect ratio as i can get using vista. [13:12] Matthu : make sure you have the latest drivers installed for that card, either from system/administration/HW drivers , or from the web [13:12] theadmin, no, but how to change the dafault value pastebin to another service? === nightfro` is now known as nightfrog [13:12] dlynes, thanks for looking!

[13:13] dlynes, thanks! [13:13] cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit -b http://rafb.net does not function too [13:13] Has anyone encountered problems mounting nfs mounts under Ubuntu 9.1 (Karmic)?

[13:16] yeah thats it, its an Intel Extreme 830MG as far as I can recall [13:16] abe3k_: u can watch megavideos without the menus flickering in firefox?

[13:18] Matthu: ok one more thing, from the desktop appearance, what level of effects do you have? [13:18] abe3k_: Thanks a lot for your time. [13:18] abe3k_: I put them on lowest for now. [13:19] Matthu: Might be a good idea to turn off completely [13:19] Matthu: "None" setting [13:19] Matthu: do you have the flickering when the effects are switched on ? [13:19] admin: I have been trying to install xubuntu on an old PIII vaio notebook, question relates to xorg rather than distro, have been booting to black screen since first install, have tryed to reconfigure xorg but seems to pick up the same 'black screen configuration'. Have also been getting a GRUB 'no such disk' error, which seeing as I only have one OS it seems to figure itself out and boot anyway. I can TTY fine also. Hope there is someone h [13:20] theadmin: i meant that i have them on none [13:20] hey has any one tried using ubuntu 9.10? [13:20] abe3k_ : i will check with settings turned up [13:20] Matthu: set it on to normal for now [13:21] jlive, hmm, the Intel Extreme 830MG looks like a difficult driver to find for linux [13:21] admin: Am I on the right channel? I need to Some how ubuntu screwed up in the rootacces, while I tried to create a new user on my system.. now nothing works, not even grafical interface will start. Just start up a maintenance shell :/ [13:21] theadmin: thanks. i turned effect off. but it is somewhat ugly slowly. not faster or smoother [13:21] I had it working out of the box to some extent with a 'jolicloud' distro a while back [13:22] at least it worked better than it does now [13:22] rww, theadmin: thx, see http://www.ubuntu.si/punbb/post/27500/#p27500 [13:22] abe3k_: still lots of flickering when navigating menus in full screen with normal setting [13:22] theadmin: i felt ubuntu is bit slower than Windows, not that responsive. is something wrong with my setting? [13:23] tiger_: No idea.

[13:28] kad__: you should fsck the filesystem to insure its in a sane state [13:28] I thought vesa came with this distro? I tried it and got E: Coultnt find package vesa [13:29] csarven: "which evolution" [13:29] abe3k_ : Hmmm i would've thought it was adobe flash i know i installed adobe flash a few hours ago when prompted by firefox. but if i chck addons > plugins it says nothing about adobe but it says shockwave 10.0 [13:29] theadmin : shouldn't he use fsck -f ?

Vesa shouldbe the failsafe for X to use if all else fails. Ive no idea why you are having issues.. unless its trying somthing else it thinks is better. === orattue is now known as OllieRattue [13:29] csarven: Oh, sorry, i misunderstood. [13:30] Pici: thank you, I'll google it :) [13:30] Kraln: so thisis happing on the FIRST boot of a clean ubuntu install? [13:30] Hey, are there any known problems with archive.ubuntu.com. I don't seem to be able to connect when doing an apt-get update or apt-get upgrade [13:30] Matthu : try putting about:plugins in the address bar [13:30] csarven: I belive somewhere around your $HOME, maybe ".evolution" or something, i dunno, i use GMail [13:30] jaik: You shouldn't need to google it, it should be installed by default. if its not for some reason, you can do: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-vesa [13:30] OllieRattue: there was someone else in here yestrday with some issues error 400 i think for archive.ubuntu.com [13:30] slart: wiki VESA [13:31] theadmin The only way I can do is if I save the file and than import it within Evolution [13:31] Which is cumbersome [13:31] OllieRattue: i just now seem to have some issues with us.archive.ubuntu.com [13:31] Dr_Willis: hmmm [13:31] Dr_Willis, so what do u think problem, how i can fix it [13:31] OllieRattue: just tried to update my 10.04 test install [13:31] the wierdest one is, when I nano view xorg.conf it doesnt display anything. But whin I xorg -configure and test I get the same resulting black screen... [13:32] abe3k_ : no mention of adobe there either, only shockwave 10.0. also compiz is installed. [13:32] Pici: it's installed - but how do I start it? [13:32] kad__: : so thisis happing on the FIRST boot of a clean ubuntu install? [13:32] jaik: Start it? Its not an application. What exactly are you trying to do? [13:32] Matthu : open up the settings manager from /system/prefs/compiz settings manager [13:32] Dr_Willis, this happen when install the updates [13:33] Dr_Willis, i install it 3 times [13:33] abe3k_ : done [13:33] Dr_Willis: There were a few large security updates for karmic overnight (OO.o), the repositories are slow for everyone right now. [13:33] Dr_willis: how do I view and interpret what its using though!? [13:33] Pici: ok. id not noticed that. :) [13:33] Pici: ah ok thanks [13:33] Matthu: open up general in the top part, and check "Undirect Fullscreen Windows" [13:33] I will wait till tomorrow then :) [13:33] Pici: I've a movie with an audio delay of around 1 second [13:34] Well, try VLC, jaik, it can speed stuff up AFAIK [13:34] Pici: I'd like to play it and move the audio-layer [13:34] jlive: I was more wondering what you were trying to install when you tried the package "vesa".. if it was drivers for X, vesa libraries for python or some other weird thing.. I suppose, from the rest of the conversation, you were looking for the Xorg drivers, which should be installed by default [13:34] jaik: vlc can do that, VESA is completely unrelated to your problem. [13:34] jlive: you might want to take a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see what X is trying to do.. what drivers it thinks it should use.. video modes and so on [13:35] abe3k_ : done but still flickering when using menus [13:35] iam using fluxbox - and my wired connection is working fine - but the wireless not - any help ? [13:35] Matthu: press F11 when you're using firefox [13:35] Pici: I could not find that function in VLC - does anyone know the name of this feature? [13:35] Pici: I think there's some confusion since you addressed your VESA message to jaik instead of jlive [13:35] jaik: I just realized that I was responding to the wrong person about VESA, sorry for the confusion [13:35] how can i convert ogv files (video ) into avi (i don't wont to lose quality) ? [13:36] Pici: ah, ok :) [13:36] jaik: I don't think its in the menus, I remember seeing it in the keyboard shortcuts in the preferences though. [13:36] ionut: mencoder should work.. there are other converters as well [13:36] ionut: There are some online places where you can do so... maybe there are Ubuntu converters too, don't know any [13:36] ionut: avi files can be of any of several dozen+ codecs. theres tools to convert video files like winff, avidemix, handbrake and others [13:36] abe3k_ : Done but still flickers even with firefox in ful screen mode [13:37] привет [13:37] ionut: or the cli tools ffmpeg, or mencoder [13:37] !ru | x_ [13:37] x_: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [13:37] abe3k_ : btw i can pause the video and navigate the windows with flickering [13:37] x_: Привет)) Русская поддержка в #ubuntu-ru [13:37] Slart: exactly I dk what it can improve, I remember seeing it as a fix for a few vrious fairly unrelated problems on ubuntu forums. will have a butchers at Xorg.0.log [13:37] Dr_Willis, it will keep like this ? i mean no solution for this ? [13:37] tnx all [13:37] Matthu: if you are gettting video 'tearing' in compiz - there is a setting in compiz to enable vsync [13:37] Matthu : try turning off the "unredirect fullscreen windows" [13:38] Okay, got root working again, anyone experienced in setting up a FTP server think they're man enough to solve my problem? :) [13:38] Dr_Willis : his gnome menus are shoing up in fullscreen videos from firefox [13:38] dr_wilis : I'm getting flickering in my video using megavideo. Only when browsing the menus while the video plays tho. [13:38] kad__: no idea whats going on. You could write up the details at a pastebin site so others can see and check the forums. Its werd theat the filesystem is failing after you update/upgrade the first time [13:38] jlive: the only good thing about vesa would be compatibility if I understand things correctly.. [13:39] Dr_Willis, it's good idea to boot from LIVE cd, and mount the "/" file system and change the pass to " 0" instead of "1" for the "/ " ? === daedhel is now known as lehdead [13:39] Matthu: ive had very poor flash videos from that site. and others like it. I normally download/get the videos to hd then convert/watch them [13:39] kad__: guess you could try. but im thinkin thers some deeper issues going on [13:39] to be clear in full screen video plays fine but if i try to navigate te menus while the video plays in full screen i get tons of lag and flickering. [13:40] i've tried to make an ubuntu lucid remix folowing this how-to :https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomizationFromScratch but when i try to install it i get "AssertionError: Missing filesystem.size." from ubiquity [13:40] Dr_Willis, ya but i can't everything to re-install ubuntu [13:40] dr_willis : i get no probs with windows [13:40] Matthu: is it even usiong flash? last time i tried fullscreen flash videos if i tried to do anything else with any other programs. it would Unfullscreen the flash [13:40] any help ? [13:40] my wireless not working with the Fluxbox- although its working with Gnome [13:41] what the heck! [13:41] sudo: cd: command not found [13:41] Matthu: adobe dosent really put as much effort into the Linux flash testing/work as it does windows.. at least it sounds liek a flash issue to me [13:41] whats the point of 'sudo cd' :) [13:41] theadmin: cd is a shell built-in, its not a command. [13:42] Dr_Willis: I wanna see wtf is in /root without changing it's permissions [13:42] hi, does anyone knows a working repo for E17, to work on interpid ? ive been searching all over the wweb and no luck... (anyone helping ? ) [13:42] theadmin: sudo ls /whatver/ cd wont do anyting at all for you [13:42] theadmin: cd isn't a command.. it's a part of bash [13:43] Dr_Willis: Hm, yeah, nearly like that. "sudo ls -la /root" did it [13:43] i have found dunewind, i dont know if it is good .. and i dint had no instuctions on how to install the signature key [13:43] anyone: lost writeaccess to my filesystem. What can I do? [13:43] abe3k_ : ok so i unchecked indirect full screen and put firefox into fullscreen and still flickering [13:43] Slart: It seems it is already using vesa drivers, and is tottally hppy with my video chipset [13:44] anyone else using e17 on interpid .. ?

[13:47] Matthu: well, looks like for now you either set the menus to autohide and look for a better driver, or stream the videos in another video player, you can get the direct video links by using addons like downloadhelper for firefox [13:47] kad__: No way... you must not use fsck on a mounted system! You need to unmount it first or if you can't, use a Live CD [13:47] kad__, no. [13:47] kad__: i always fsck ffrom a live cd. If the system is wanting todo constant fscks - ther maybe some other issues going on [13:48] i'll do it on live cd thx =) hope it work out [13:48] abe3k_ : the menus do autohide, i can watch the video fine. its just... annoying. plus i like solving problems. ill let u know if i get it fixed im sure i will. [13:48] slart: could this a driver issue or a xorg.conf issue then? [13:49] kad__: so to summarize - You do a new install.. it works for a while and you can reboot and stuff.. if you do a update/upgrade of the system - it always wants to fsck afterwards? [13:49] Matthu: theres an option to copy the video URLs in downloadhelper called copy url, just copy the url and paste it in vlc or the player of your choice [13:49] hai [13:50] Dr_Willis, exactly. [13:50] jlive: intel has had their share of driver problems.. but I think it should be mostly fixed by now.. xorg.conf should be autodetected (it empty) now.. but you can still fix things by manually specifying them [13:50] jlive: it's hard to say what might be wrong.. [13:50] Mathhu: also if its a flash player problem, which I don't think it is since I don't have that problem, you can get another free flashplayer plugin for firefox, there are a couple out there [13:51] bizden varmıdır acep :) [13:52] !tr | istemsiz [13:52] istemsiz: Turk ubuntu kullanıcıları, Türkçe yardım ya da geyik için #ubuntu-tr hizmetinizde. === zz_FeiRuoWa is now known as FeiRuoWa [13:52] can someone help with my atheros 9285 card? i have intermittent wireless connections. it works for a while, then just quits randomly [13:53] guys, I just got a kernel panic... uhh, what's the first step of the process to identifying the cause?

[13:56] came with Ubuntu I would assume [13:56] jcrawford, nvidia has the driver on the website [13:56] I did not install them [13:56] slart: Ill give it a go... [13:56] jcrawford, it's better than driver that comes with ubuntu [13:56] how do i see which card I have so that I can get the proper driver?

[14:00] ty xevil [14:00] it's a .run do i just ./blah.run [14:00] need a tad of help on my intermittent wireless connection. does someone have a bit of time? [14:00] !iso | Gangrel [14:00] Gangrel: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [14:00] jcrawford: Yes, but it must be made executable [14:00] yea got it [14:00] :) [14:01] brb [14:01] theadmin: hmm.. let me play around with it for a couple of seconds [14:01] hey guys...does anybody have a working lirc setup (w/ banshee)? i have a problem in my lircrc, in that it kicks off a new banshee process each time, rather than sending commands to the existing banshee [14:01] HALFWITS: I think it should, I have a dell at home and the network is working out of the box [14:01] Is the US update server down? I am not able to update. [14:01] looks like OO was updated [14:01] rrittenhouse: Yeah it is, sorry for the inconvinience. They're fixing it i hope [14:02] rrittenhouse: Archive is maxing out on openoffice traffic. [14:02] cool np just confirming it so people stop asking me lol :) [14:02] theadmin, do you have a sec to help me with my wireless? [14:02] Were can I find .img of Karmic UNR [14:02] Theadmin: Thanks - if I can't get it to work, I might install a network card - Bye. [14:02] jpds, that's actually what I was guessing...OO is always a large one [14:02] rrittenhouse: Use a local mirror and not us.archive [14:02] thanks :) [14:02] rrittenhouse: us.archive is in London. [14:02] interesting [14:03] rrittenhouse: System → Admin → Software Sources has a list of US mirrors. [14:03] adambuntu: I'm really not experienced in that [14:03] jpds, I tried that once but I found that they seemed out of date at times.. is that actually the case? [14:03] jcrawford : which version of ubuntu are you using ? [14:03] theadmin, thanks. [14:04] theadmin, are you good with apic? [14:04] rrittenhouse: No, check https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors for freshness. [14:04] ProUbuntu: Why would you even need one? ISO is somewhat more supported on Linux systems, so they don't provide any other formats [14:04] Updates to OO that i dont even ever use :) [14:04] adambuntu: no idea who/what that is. [14:04] lol [14:04] kk [14:05] ProUbuntu: use various tools to put a img file on a usb drive. [14:05] ProUbuntu: err i maan make the iso on the usb drive. :) [14:05] how do i turn off network sleep in power management? [14:05] ok I can't seem to find anything useful in my /var/log/kern.log. Any other ideas as to where I might find information regarding the panic I ran into earlier? [14:06] theadmin: Is said in the help for installation of UNR [14:06] theadmin: the old release had a img file. it no longer does [14:07] ProUbuntu, check out netbootin [14:07] Dr_Willis: Yeah maybe, that was my point overall, they no longer provide IMGs [14:07] Ok. So the way is not as written [14:07] theadmin: this kind of works.. change it to fit your needs if [ `sudo netstat -p | grep java | wc -l` -lt 9 ] ; then echo Hello; fi [14:08] theadmin: wc -l just counts the number of lines in the output [14:08] What is netbootin? [14:08] here's my /var/log/kern.log: http://pastebin.org/96487 but I ran into the panic less than 30 min ago... I'm a bit alarmed by those segfaults on previous days. Are they significant? [14:08] Slart: Okay. Does this look right? if [ `netstat -p | grep gwget | wc -l` -lt 9 ] ; then killall gwget && gwget; fi [14:09] !unetbootin | ProUbuntu [14:09] ProUbuntu: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [14:09] ProUbuntu, im sorry, unetbootin. it is a .iso/.img tool that will load the livecd/iso/img bootable on a usb stick [14:09] !MD5 [14:09] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [14:10] theadmin: yes.. that looks sensible.. the number 9 is just the number of java processes I had.. -lt means less than.. so if you have less then 9 processes listed by netstat.. it will kill it and restart [14:10] I have checked but no Karmic UNR (9.10) [14:10] ProUbuntu, give me a se [14:11] why when i try to mount an iso file i get : this is not an iso file? [14:11] Theres a 9.10 UNR - im using it on my AAO. [14:11] adambuntu: wath is a se? [14:11] Gangrel: try running file yourimagefile.iso and see what it says.. perhaps it isn't an iso file [14:11] ProUbuntu, hey here is the link to the x86 karmic unr.iso [14:11] Slart, ah, so i'll have to change 9 to 1 [14:11] ProUbuntu, http://releases.ubuntu.com/karmic/ubuntu-9.10-netbook-remix-i386.iso [14:12] Slart what you mean? [14:12] Yes is that one [14:12] theadmin: yes.. if you want to restart the process if there are 0 lines listed in the netstat output [14:12] Gangrel: you have a file you're trying to mount.. right? [14:12] Slart: 0 or less* [14:12] Slart yeah [14:13] ProUbuntu, keep in mind, its not the .img file, but the .iso is just as good [14:13] could some one tell me of a repository that actually works? [14:13] I have the iso file of UNR [14:13] nonameNN: Huh? [14:13] ProUbuntu, why do you need the .img file? [14:13] theadmin: no one works! so slow... [14:13] Gangrel: so.. say that that file is called yourfile.iso ... you can then run the "file" command on it.. it's a command that tries to identify files by format and such.. so you run file yourfile.iso [14:13] hello there, I have some problems installing benq 5000 scanner on ubuntu 9.10. Actually the problem is i don't know what to do. I googled it but all i found is a broken link . I found that my scanner is supported but when i start sane it errors me with "Failed to open device `snapscan:libusb:005:003': Invalid argument [14:13] there is no trash available in root , so where does deleted files go ? [14:13] can somebody help me ? [14:13] Slart ok it says data [14:14] nonameNN: Many people are using them then, they're overloaded, happens sometimes [14:14] guys I'm really bothered by the kernel panic I ran into earlier... is there any more assistance that can be offered here? I feel as though I am wasting my time. [14:14] toman: sudo apt-get install sane [14:14] Gangrel: ok.. that's bad.. data is basically the same as "duh.. well.. I don't know" =) [14:14] Slart, sr-dgnage.iso : data [14:14] Fan not working. Can anyone help? [14:14] z0r: You can post on forums too [14:14] i see [14:14] theadmin: what do I post? [14:14] nonemeNN, i installed it [14:14] theadmin: its imposible all repos are that loaded [14:14] z0r: Post you ran into a kernel panic and ask where to look for info [14:14] I need the procedure to instal UNR from a Pen, but without the cd [14:14] I have an annoying problem on Ubuntu 9.10, the root file systems is ext3 but keeps getting mounted as ext2 at boot. Anyone have an idea how to tackle this problem?? [14:15] for some reason when I leave my headless server on, after some hours ssh stops working, then when I plug it into a monitor the screen is black until I press the power button, and then the screen turns on and says it will shutdown in 60 seconds unless i stop it [14:15] theadmin: and they will know, but none of the 1400 here do? [14:15] Gangrel: here's what is says on my system about an ubuntu iso ubuntu-9.10-desktop-amd64.iso: ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data 'Ubuntu 9.10 amd64 ' (bootable) [14:15] is there some way for me to turn this feature off? [14:15] nonameNN: i dunno, russian Ubuntu archives work fine... [14:15] z0r: It's common to post on forums if nobud on IRC replies [14:15] I was sort of hoping, since I'm at college and don't have much time to be chasing this up, that I could get a quick answer. [14:15] Gangrel: is it a video or pc iso file? My movie iso's say they are 'UDF fileyssmtes' wiuth the file command [14:15] is there something that lets you view logfiles remotely? [14:16] wasutton3: you could ssh in and use more. or some sort of sshfilesystem tool/commands [14:16] ProUbuntu, i cant find the .img file either... weird [14:16] wasutton3: Uh, ssh + some file viewer (less?) [14:16] I feel as though it would be most beneficial... but ohh well, I guess I should just leave and hope it doesn't happen again :) [14:16] Gangrel: yes.. it doesn't have to say the same thing.. but anything other than "data" would be good [14:16] wasutton3: the logging system also lets you send log info to a cebntralized log server [14:16] Dr_Willis, it is a a game iso file [14:16] duckwars: it's a regular vanilla ubuntu server install? [14:16] So there is no .img file anymore? [14:17] Dr_Willis, it is a game dvd iso [14:17] Gangrel: i would expect it to say more then data [14:17] slart: it's actually xubuntu not server edition [14:17] ProUbuntu: not for 9.10 - thers no img file. [14:17] slart: 9.10 [14:17] Dr_Willis: I was looking more for a web interface, im often behind a firewall i cant ssh from [14:17] How can I find out what privledges a user/group has? [14:17] Thanks. [14:17] wasutton3: theres seeral web-admin interface progams. but i dont use any [14:17] !ebox [14:17] ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox [14:17] wasutton3: Hm, install Apache, set documentroot to /, and then configure some kind of authorization [14:18] That's what i did to access my files lol [14:18] ok guys I installed the driver and now when I go to the Hardware Drivers netiher NVIDIA driver is active [14:18] compiz does not seem to have kicked in yet either :( [14:18] Dr_Willis, Gangrel: hmm.. I just tried it on a .. ahem.. perfectly legal image file I just made myself.. it says "data" there too.. and that iso worked when I tried it [14:19] duckwars: hmm.. odd.. I don't recognize this "computer will shut down in 60 seconds" feature.. it seems very.. odd for a server [14:19] since I installed the driver from the NVIDIA site should I have to activate the nvidia 185 driver or no? [14:19] Slart i think we are not examining what is legal and what is not.... since it is a game that i am trying to wine it [14:20] jcrawford: no.. deactivate it.. if you've run the installer you shouldn't have to install anything else from the repos [14:20] slart: I wouldn't quote that exactly, it's because I only plugin the monitor to see whats going on when the ssh turns off, and it's a black screen, and since I don't have the keyboard or mouse plugged I just pressed the power button and thne the screen turned on and gave me a message like that [14:20] neither are currently active [14:20] Hi all. What is the command for deleting files from /home/partimag because it wont let me right click and move to trash [14:20] but still no effects :( [14:20] I have an annoying problem on Ubuntu 9.10, the root file systems is ext3 but keeps getting mounted as ext2 at boot. The error in syslog : "EXT2 -fs warning (device xvda2): ext2_fill_super:mounting ext3 filesystem as ext2" [14:20] Anyone have an idea how to tackle this problem?? [14:20] Jimi_Neutral: " sudo rm -rf /home/partimag/* " [14:21] Jimi_Neutral: Try "sudo rm -rf $HOME/partimag" (note, it will remove the whole folder) [14:21] Gangrel: nah.. I couldn't care less.. but it says "data" on my system too.. and that iso file works..I've used it.. not on my ubuntu install but on my windows system.. so it might not be a bad thing that it's called "data".. [14:21] wasutton3, cheers chicken [14:21] oh, it's right in /home [14:21] theadmin, ty [14:21] Jimi_Neutral: Wait, mistaken it, cut the dollar out and make "home" lowercase [14:21] duckwars: ahh.. then I understand.. by pressing the power button you've just told it to shut down.. so it gives you a 60 second warning.. [14:22] theadmin, i dotn want to remove the whole folder....just the two images inside it [14:22] duckwars: but pressing a key on the keyboard should usually be enough for it to wake up [14:22] oh i got it working i think :) [14:22] How can I find in unetbootin the UNR 9.10? [14:22] slart: but why is it going to sleep? it's not even being logged into physically [14:23] duckwars: there are power saving settings.. it might also be a setting in BIOS [14:23] ProUbuntu, they moved from the .img file back to the .iso. i am looking at a converter now for you. [14:23] ProUbuntu: you can install the unetbootin tool under linux or windows and use it.. or if you boot the ubuntu live cd. it has a usb-disk-creator tool you can use [14:23] Jimi_Neutral: rm filename is how it works. Really though, type "man rm" and read [14:23] ProUbuntu: theres other tools that can also doo the task [14:23] it hasnt worked [14:23] theadmin, it didnt work [14:24] adambuntu: Ok [14:24] How can I find out what privledges a user/group has? [14:24] does anyone have time to assist me in troubleshooting why my atheros card wont wake up? [14:24] Dr_Willis: TKS [14:24] What's the default hot-key combo for force killing an app in gnome? [14:25] slart: It doesn't look like anything in the xubuntu power settings, I will try BIOS later, thanks. [14:25] MattMesa: There are none but that does not mean you can't set one up. Generally, you could add "Force Window" applet for your panel or open a terminal, type "xkill" and kill it off. [14:26] hey guys.. i have a certain problem using vpn. I'd like to access some IP's (like 172.20.63.1) using a vpn connection (tap0), while the remaining trafic should be routet through eth0. So far everything was working fine when i brought up the vpn interface (/etc/init.d/openvpn start), but now the only way to have a working vpn connection is using the network-manager (at least it seems like it) and the system routes all my traffic through tap0 in [14:26] stead of eth0 [14:26] Thanks kinja-sheep [14:26] hi ... [14:27] Sorry I have to go.

[14:41] random question, anyone know why ping now only seems to send one every 5 seconds rather than one a second or so? Is it possible to set it back to one a second? [14:41] NoelJB: checked that, it's not getting loaded as a module, it's compiled in the kernel [14:42] :-) that's what the OP replied there, too, to which the final response was "It means your initrd (or /etc/fstab) is mounting an ext3 filesystem as ext2.

[15:39] same terms of the drive's most powerful supercomputer, ibm's hard to say what might be wrong [15:39] Jimi_Neutral: no.. use sudo with rm to remove the stuff.

[16:03] sudo rm -rf /home/partimg/2009-11-24-15-img [16:03] I was thinking a little about putting your personal stuff in the CLOUD. I rent a vps on linode. Which I use to ssh X11 forward my mail and stuff from. Does that mean I got my mail and other stuff in the cloud? =) [16:04] cd /home/ tab [16:04] Jimi_Neutral: also, when you type that command, and you get to 2009, press tab and what happens? [16:04] corespeedxxx, yeah, you have it in a private server in the internet [16:04] Nitsuga: Woho! [16:04] crawler, yeah tried that....nothing [16:04] crawler, like it dont exist [16:04] if a atomic war or disk failure destroys your data you'll be abe to recover it [16:05] Nitsuga: so, "the cloud" is really something everyone could do since the 90s [16:05] Jimi_Neutral: using ubuntu server edition? you have a GUI? [16:05] corespeedxxx, not everyone [16:05] tonto [16:05] I mean.. irix had x11 forwarding from remote servers in the early 90s =) [16:05] crawler, yes and yes [16:05] Jimi_Neutral: maybe you can try to mount your root partition first, then doing chroot [16:05] crawler, but i cant install anymore programs as this damn clone file is taking up the rest of the space on my disk [16:05] Jimi_Neutral: what search tool shows it exists? [16:05] corespeedxxx, I don't see your mother/father uploading a 50MB document at 2kb/s to a 200US$/month server [16:05] Jimi_Neutral: in that chroot-ed environment, you can mount your /home partition [16:06] crawler, i cant rmembver what he said to do now cd/ home and tab or sometrhign [16:06] Can anyone hear a sound theme in Ubuntu 9.10? [16:06] Nitsuga: so "the cloud" (for personal use) today is just a reinvetion of stuff that has always been readily availible in linux? =) such as the apple "spaces" in their os. =) [16:06] crawler I don't think you really understand my problem... and I don't think it's cups that is it. My problem is that I don't know where to browse for the printer when I am on the Win machine [16:06] Jimi_Neutral: you type 'rm -rf /home/partimg/2009' (or whatever it is) and then hit tab twice or more and it doesn't auto-complete? [16:06] corespeedxxx, is just a simplification and user-friendli-zation of FTP [16:07] ne1 recommend a good, scheduleable unattended disk image backup solution for ubuntu? [16:07] Nitsuga: =) lol.. then I was very early in the cloud =) [16:07] Hi sall [16:07] FTP is as old as the Internet [16:07] How do I give a user full rights over /var/www ? [16:07] Nitsuga: true [16:07] when i do sudo rm -rf /home and hit tab it shows me /james (god knows why) and partimg/ [16:08] Hi guys. My system wants to update itself, but it warning me that there are a bunch of NOT AUTHENTICATED packages. Should I fret? [16:08] Guest39489, add him to the www-data group and make a chmod -R g+rw /var/www [16:08] done that, didnt work. [16:08] And what's up with these apps who like to sync mail and stuff.. WHY ever sync mail. have the mail on a server.. access it. and have it backed up to another server =) [16:08] wad, reload the package list and the problem will be solved [16:08] Hi all. I just updated my Ubuntu Studio 9.10 with a bunch of critical patches, and now the initrd cannot mount the root anymore [16:08] OMG< MY GOOD GOD I AM STUPID SO SO STUPID [16:08] Jimi_Neutral: So what if you type 'sudo rm -rf /home/partimg/2009' and then hit tab twice? [16:09] Guest11795, a group change needs a relogin [16:09] hi, does anyone know of a way to get the currently playing Totem file (and/or the current Queue)? [16:09] did you relogin? [16:09] its partimag but the damn font is so crap you cant see the 'A' [16:09] im really sorry to all who i hassled for this [16:09] With todays update I've lost my wired connection. I can only connect using a wireless connection [16:09] Jimi_Neutral: I always use tab to complete file names to avoid this sort of problem! [16:10] brunoscunha: is it a desktop or laptop? [16:10] CamFox, yeah i should have really but just didnt think i would need to.....oh well lesson learned, ty for your patience [16:10] richthegeek: it's a laptop [16:10] HP/compaq 6910p [16:10] brunoscunha: do you have any friends with a cable connection? [16:10] Jimi_Neutral: so rm -rf /ho/p/2009, kind of thing... [16:10] Jimi_Neutral: No probs [16:11] CamFox, yeah.....while i got you actually, i knwo its simple but how do i find out how much hdd space i have left [16:11] no, i'm using it at my work lan [16:11] how can I set sudoers so that it doesn't ask me for the password when I do something in sudo mode? I've tried adding "csaba ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL" but it didn't work [16:11] brunoscunha: so you are on the machine now? then update again or rollback until [16:11] richthegeek: yesterday was working perfectly [16:11] brunoscunha, try sudo rmmod r8169 && sudo modprobe r8169 That worked for me [16:11] richthegeek: yes [16:11] Nitsuga, thanks! Am just doing it with the command line, as I didn't see a way to do that in the GUI thingie. [16:11] id ftpuser3 [16:11] uid=1003(ftpuser3) gid=1003(ftpuser3) groups=1003(ftpuser3),33(www-data) [16:12] Nitsuga: will try that, thank you [16:12] user is in www-data [16:12] still cannot upload or chmod via FTP [16:12] how can I set sudoers so that it doesn't ask me for the password when I do something in sudo mode? I've tried adding "csaba ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL" but it didn't work [16:12] Guest39489: on /var/www/? that belongs to root [16:12] wad, you can do it in GUI via the Update manager [16:12] Jimi_Neutral: command is df, not sure of exact syntax [16:12] iceroot; nop, it belongs to ftpuser3 [16:12] Jimi_Neutral: man df? [16:12] Does anyone know how to choose root device of grub2?.. Grub says I should check my device.map file since it cant find /dev/sda1.. but my root disk is hda1.

I believe that particular feature is disabled by default (is disabled by default even when compiling from source, since doing what you want to do is a really bad idea) [16:13] meganerd: that's not true [16:14] cat /etc/passwd|grep ftpuser [16:14] ftpuser3:x:1003:1003::/var/www/:/bin/sh [16:14] meganerd: it worked on my previous ubuntu installation, on my other computer [16:14] still not working [16:14] any ideas? :??

[16:14] also ubuntu 9.10 [16:14] brunoscunha, well, just worked for me :P [16:15] I can't color grayscale images in gimp. They open as grayscale and I simply cannot add color. All colors display as gray tones. How do I set the mode to rbg for a grayscale image? [16:15] brunoscunha, what does dmesg | grep eht outputs? [16:15] I have a 64Studio box where that works, but the exact same entry in the sudoers file on my Ubuntu 9.10 boxes does not work [16:15] Hi! How can I find out in gnome if I use UMTS, HDSPA or EDGE to surf with my mobile internet connection? Can I control this somewhere so I can say "prefer" EDGE? [16:15] anyone know where Totem stores it's playlist file? [16:15] eremite, Image -> mode -> RGB [16:16] brunoscunha, sorry, the command was dmesg | grep eth [16:16] Hi all. I just updated my Ubuntu Studio 9.10 with a bunch of critical patches, and now the initrd cannot mount the root anymore, because it cannot find the UUID. [16:16] merethan, are you in a live-cd? [16:16] merethan: use /dev/sdX in your fstab instead of UUID [16:16] oh great, now I've set /etc/sudoers to 644 and I get a segmentation error saying sudoers should be 440... but I can't change it back to 440 because I get a segmentation fault [16:17] Yeah I figured that out already [16:17] csaba, you will have to use a live-cd or recovery mode [16:17] Thank you Nitsuga [16:17] CamFox, ty [16:17] that's just fucking great [16:17] csaba, ALWAYS edit sudoers with sudo visudo [16:17] Greetings [16:17] blakkheim, why are UUID's used anyway? [16:17] Nitsuga: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/z2J7Z1FE [16:17] !uuid | merethan [16:17] merethan: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [16:18] merethan: ask the ubuntu devs, i think it's a silly choice [16:18] csaba, if you don't know how to use VI export EDITOR=nano first [16:18] who the hell decided sudoers should be 440? in the previous version of ubuntu it was just a normal file... [16:18] since i've install the minimal ubuntu distro 2 days ago , i have problem every 2 hours with Xorg [16:18] yes i have editor=nano set.... [16:18] merethan, blakkheim: It's not a silly choice. By using UUIDs you can't mount a workng partition [16:19] some say my problem is solved with Xorg 1.7.5, but it seems it is not in Karmic's repos, how can i install Xorg 1.7.5 ? [16:19] anyone know of a lightroom equivelant for ubuntu? [16:19] is there some backport (like debian) or is it better to compile it ? [16:19] brunoscunha, try sudo rmmod e1000e && sudo modprobe e1000e and then check that the lan cable is properly connected in both parts [16:19] sidh: you'd get better performance if you compiled it, but there may be a ppa or something [16:20] Hello, I was just wondering if someone could help me out with this error: texmaker: /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.10' not found (required by texmaker). I'm unsure where to get the GLIBC 2.10 [16:20] csaba, well, soo boot in recovery mode or with another linux os and set the permission right [16:20] *so [16:21] blakkheim: here is the 1.7.5 version for "lucid" http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/xorg, can you confirm ?

[16:22] good luck ;) [16:22] red hat ein. [16:22] llutz: and i can't edit it with sudo nano sudoers... which I could do in the previous versions [16:22] csaba: it needs proper permissions to work [16:22] csaba: the first thing I do is enable the root account, so that it is possible to fix sudo. If you do not have the root account enabled then you need to do that to fix sudo [16:22] ljpu [16:22] !noroot | meganerd [16:22] meganerd: We do not support having a root password set. See !root and !wfm for more information. [16:22] csaba: use visudo [16:23] meganerd: i don't want to use a special command to edit a text file... i want it to work just like it did up to version 9.10 [16:23] Nitsuga, using blkid I found out my /dev/sda1 UUID, and it perfectly correlates with the command supplied to my initrd [16:23] csaba: sudoers has to be edited with visudo, which preserves permissions. [16:23] Pici: that is all well and nice, but if someone is messing with configuring sudo then you want to enable root access. It should be disabled afterwards, but for messing with PAM and sudo, it is a good thing [16:23] llutz: wasn't the case in previous versions [16:23] Nitsuga, I can even mount it manually using the initramfs [16:23] csaba: you should have always done it this way, it keeps you from breaking it [16:23] csaba, the visudo thing has been here since 2008, in *every* distribution that used sudo [16:23] csaba: it's always been visudo [16:23] csaba: it has bee 440 root before too [16:23] been [16:23] what is the command to list the PID of a program? [16:23] it is a security measure, and should not be changed [16:23] richthegeek: pidof programname [16:24] Nitsuga: maybe it was here since 2008, but the system didn;t reak when I edited sudoers with nano so far === arvind_k is now known as arvind_khadri [16:24] csaba, the bug is somewhere in launchpad. All the other distibutions were setting a 400 permissions to the sudoers [16:25] how do I configure smb.conf correclty so I can share USB external HDD? [16:25] m_fulder, you cn do that easily with nautilus [16:25] Pici: thanks! using it to narrow down `lsof` [16:25] Nitsuga: doesn't matter, all the previous versions worked perfectly well... [16:25] Nitsuga, really how do I do that? [16:26] m_fulder, right-click /media/device and choose properties [16:26] Why do I always get this error?

[16:27] blakkheim; thanks, I don't see why tutorials always have it listed as useradd [16:28] Nitsuga, yes and then I choose Share this folder and so on... ? I've already tried that, works perfectly for my internal HDD but I get an error message (PATH couldn't be found or you don't have the premission to access this folder) while later on trying to access my USB external HDD on another comp [16:28] m_fulder, in which filesystem is that hdd formatted? [16:28] NTSC [16:28] has it to be FAT? [16:29] m_fulder, no ntfs is ok [16:29] m_fulder: NTSC is a television standard. [16:29] You're referring to NTFS. [16:29] oj :P [16:29] m_fulder, make a folder inside the disk and share that folder [16:29] same error [16:29] m_fulder, I don't know why you have to do that [16:29] but you have to [16:29] No luck. Still don't have wired connection [16:29] same error? [16:30] mmm strange... [16:30] hey, im trying to setup a samba server, with usernames and passwords that are in sync with the unix usernames and passwords [16:30] Nitsuga, share both the folder and the HDD right?

Help would be highly appreciated ;) [16:30] m_fulder, well, you'll have to tweak smb.conf :P [16:30] m_fulder, just the folder [16:30] StaRetji: you need gnome, a user interface, to run things like firefox...

[16:32] adalal, oh ok [16:32] adalal, just wanted to be sure it wasnt on this end ...thanks :) [16:32] Nitsuga, I've searched a bit for this error and it shows out that it's a known bug in samba and I have to add it manually to the smb.conf ... but I don't know how I configure it correctly [16:32] Nitsuga: ~# sudo aptitude -R firefox [16:32] Unknown command "firefox" [16:32] aptitude 0.4.11.11 [16:33] StaRetji, i forgot about the install [16:33] StaRetji, sudo aptitude -R install firefox [16:33] oh, me too ;) [16:33] adalal: the default ubuntu samba config does this [16:33] meganerd: oh thanks then!

[16:34] Nitsuga, thx mate, that does the trick ;) [16:34] coz_: They're not down, just very slow due to the large OO.o security update that was released earlier today.

[16:49] I have an old laptop I'm trying to repurpose. I tried getting it onto a WiFi connection but it did not connect. One thing I found odd is that Ubuntu does not detect networks itself. Does it and perhaps its a hardware issue? [16:49] is there a way to see which/how many sectors are bad on my hard disk [16:49] i got a trple-boot that i want to upgrade to karmic, can i just nstall it over my existing ubuntu and hope everything else works? [16:50] by the by, I'm running it Live before I install it to make sure my laptop's wireless card works for it, which I did some research and it says there are some issues [16:50] MrD_ what is your wifi card model? [16:50] Nitsuga: I've opened System-Administration-Disk Utility right now. It shows "Disk is healthy". It seems that I have to start the testing, instead of reading strange&unproved results. [16:51] its a realtek 8139 or something close [16:51] MrD, best thing is to find out what wifi card you have, chances are you gonna have to get drivers to get it to work [16:51] hello , which plugin should be installed for gij (GNU libgcj) in firefox ? openjdk ? [16:51] MrD_: and are you trying to install 9.10? [16:51] the thing is, I can *attempt* to join a network but it just never does [16:51] I'd like to [16:51] gnuskool: why not just use apt to upgrade?

Of course Ibought a laptop that I knew had a well supported wifi card. Been bitten by that in the past :) [16:52] MrD_ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide is always a good place to start [16:53] what can be the reason [16:53] Nitsuga: I am in testing process now. I chose Extended method) [16:53] I guess my main problem here is that I live in a dorm where I need ethernet to connect, which wouldnt be a problem if I wasn't trying to make sure the wifi will work when I get back home. So, I need to go to a friends house to test it and I cant get anywhere [16:53] owner, that will take hours [16:54] Nitsuga: Cancell and use faster method ? [16:54] daniel__: did you restart apache? [16:54] if Ubuntu is supposed to detect wireless networks in the area (which I'd hope it has) then I need to somehow get support for the card [16:54] MrD_: what card is it?

How do I go about carving up md0 into partitions? [18:46] avemaria: the sound is in /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo, there is one symlink there, that's the one; rename or delete it [18:46] <^snooper^> whats the command to list every devices that linux reconizes ?

[19:00] iceroot, sorry, but last time i tried anything with "vim" in the title I shot myself. It's too unconventional [19:00] safe: right clieck the speaker-icon (or double click, dont remeber) there you can change it [19:00] tanks [19:00] dbugger: that is becaused you used vi and not vim [19:01] iceroot: Only the warning sound though. Not the login or anything. [19:01] dbugger, what i remember it that it recommends a lot of KDE stuff [19:01] dbugger: vim is not installed on ubuntu by default [19:01] safe: a sound-scheme imo [19:01] Nitsuga, that's why it's so heavy [19:01] iceroot: Right, is that even possible to change? [19:01] dbugger, once you learn how to use vi it can be a real timesaver [19:01] iceroot, ok, i'll give it a twirl [19:01] iceroot: To just pick and choose different .wavs? [19:01] Nitsuga, iceroot, I dont want to learn anything new actually [19:02] safe: i cant remeber, i am on hardy here but if i am correct you can only change installed themes there [19:02] iceroot: Sure looks like it. :( [19:02] dbugger: ok, vim is not new, its old :) [19:02] iceroot, it's new to me === flamboyant is now known as bi_leiria [19:04] Has anybody created a usb startup disk in Ubuntu? It's been sitting at "100% Creating Persistance File..." for about 45 minutes now..... [19:04] raffaelle: it said set up did not find any hard disk drives installed on your computer [19:04] !best | wowoto [19:04] wowoto, please see my private message [19:04] dbugger, the good thing about quanta is that when you think "does this program have x feaure?" you find that not only it has it, it is even better than what you were thinking [19:05] Nitsuga, Im on my way. Takes time to dl === jesse is now known as jesse2 [19:07] Got kind of a minor, yet annoying, problem. With jsut about every theme, he text on my menu bar in Firefox changes when i hover the mouse over it. Problem is, it changes to the color of the background so I cant read the text. Is there a work around for this? [19:07] the text* [19:07] sorry [19:07] Greets! Is it normal for Ubuntu to hang while installing? [19:07] jesse2, did you change the theme of your gnome dekstop? [19:08] Hi. Quick question: Ubuntu server on a machine, hard disk starts failing. I set it as secondary, manage to save /etc and other stuff. Now how do i save the apt package list? [19:08] idespinner: yes, but it doesnt it with almost every theme i change it to except for default [19:08] jesse2, and also does it occur in openoffice? [19:08] Is there a good app to scan for open wifi connections? [19:08] idespinner: actually, openoffice looks fine [19:08] oi [19:09] different issue then i suppose. Had a similar issue with XUL interfaces. Only changing the theme fixes it that I could see... [19:09] Hell, what have they done with Gnome? I can't change neither Sound Schemes nor GDM themes. [19:09] Bummer. [19:09] Also are there any issues with DMI when installing Ubuntu? [19:09] idespinner: oh... changing the specifics of the theme? or changing to a different theme entirely? [19:09] Tourist: a quick apt search for "wardriving" reveals netdiscover and swscanner, check them out [19:10] Curly_Q, it should not hang :| [19:10] Curly_Q, and I have never heard about DMI [19:10] Whell! It is hanging. I don't like it. [19:10] DMI is Desktop Management Interface. [19:11] Thank you jimmy [19:11] can i anyone help me with installing win xp on my system [19:11] Curly_Q, I don't like your install hanging, too === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [19:11] manas: This is Ubuntu support chan; so unless it's related... [19:11] Thanks for the encouragement. [19:11] Tourist: np :) [19:11] jesse2, different theme entirely [19:11] idespinner: oh, ok. thanks for your help [19:11] Curly_Q, yeah :P [19:12] i have virtual box..but when i start my system...i wanna use win xp with ubuntu, i just need IE to run properly [19:12] I just did a DoD erasure of the hard drive. [19:12] manas, do you want to install XP and you have already Ubuntu installed, so you want help to keep them both? [19:12] Jordan_U, genii, Actually grub2 does support RAID5 ( even for /boot ). [19:12] Is there a way to do the dpkg --get-selections thing on a secondary hard disk and not on the current one? [19:12] manas, ohh ok [19:12] manas, xp isn't difficult to install [19:12] nitsuga: Yes and i installed virtual box [19:12] The only thing I need to know is does Ubuntu need a MBR record of Windows to install or a disk formatting? [19:13] manas, just make the virtual machine and load a ISO image or cd yu have, put your serial key and voilà [19:13] manas, if you don't have a cd or a key, we can't discuss that here [19:13] Curly_Q: The Ubuntu CD can partition and format disks, if thats what you're asking. [19:13] you'll have to manage to get one [19:13] manas: and support for virtual box is in #vbox too [19:14] Does anybody have any experience with installing grub not overwrinting the windows boot loader? I have windows 7 installed, and installed ubuntu 9.10, but when I rebooted the windows boot loader showed up and loaded windows. I booted from the cd and reinstalled grub2, but it still loads the windows loader. [19:14] I have it [19:14] Curly_Q, No, the Ubuntu installer can format the drive and provides its own mbr ( grub ). [19:14] #vbox [19:14] Mnemosyne, where are you installing the bootloader? [19:14] I did ask that question, howerver, does the hard drive need to be formatted in Windows garbage to install Ubuntu? [19:14] guntbert: how to get into #vbox [19:14] Jordan_U, I have installed grub, i can see it when I dump the mbr, but it never gets a chance to load somehow [19:14] Mnemosyne, if you have more than one disk it may be installing in the another one [19:15] Curly_Q, no, you can use a clean fatory disk also [19:15] Nitsuga, thanks for that answer. [19:15] guntbert: /join #vbox [19:15] Nitsuga, I am installing it on the mbr of sda. [19:15] blergh, KDE looks are terrible :P [19:15] manas: type (here) /join #vbox [19:15] Curly_Q, the installer can make you a partition table if it donesn't undestand the one the disk has (for example if you have been using hat disk on a PowerPC) [19:15] CyberGabber: I know :) [19:16] Has anybody created a usb startup disk in Ubuntu? It's been sitting at "100% Creating Persistance File..." for about 45 minutes now..... [19:16] My internet connection in Ubuntu is very bad although in WindowsXP is excelent! Chrome and Firefox are working very bad but Midori is OK. How to find out what is the problem? [19:16] The disk was formatted originally with Windows, however, I did a complete delete of the disk of any magnetic data on the disk and am trying to install Ubuntu. [19:16] Hola [19:16] why is it to have php5 installed ubuntu DEMANDS apache is installed aswell ? [19:17] I'm isn't speak English [19:17] Mnemosyne,check if outputs something about grub [19:17] hey ale ;} === nick_ is now known as Guest35451 [19:17] Mnemosyne, check if sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/stdout bs=1 count=512 outputs something about grub [19:17] I'm speak Spanish [19:17] i'm not ;} [19:18] (along the garbage) [19:18] ale_, este canal es en ingles [19:18] actualy lithuanian ;} [19:18] !es | ale_ [19:18] ale_: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [19:18] hay otro para soporte en español [19:18] gracias [19:18] !es [19:18] Vasia I had the same problem [19:18] oh too late [19:18] How did you resolve it? [19:19] I'm using ubuntu 9.10 on my dell studio 15, but the laptop isn't suspending when I close the lid even though it's set to do so in the settings [19:19] how do I list permissions on files in a directory? [19:19] Nitsuga, looking at that the only thing in plaintext is the word GRUB and 'Geom.Hard.Disk.Read' [19:19] goose, ls -l shows the permission [19:19] goose: ls -l [19:19] goose: on command line: type ls -l [19:19] Mnemosyne, so grub *is* installed [19:19] Has anybody created a usb startup disk in Ubuntu? It's been sitting at "100% Creating Persistance File..." for about 45 minutes now..... [19:19] that should be the only thing in plaintext :) [19:20] Nitsuga, yes, but for some reason it is skipped. [19:20] Well, first I changed my DNS server to the google dns server, then I got all my updates for ubuntu 9.10 netbook remix from the update program and had them installed.. [19:20] Mnemosyne, What exactly happens when you boot? [19:20] All I see is a background with Ubuntu is a screen image of a desert. The mouse cursor moves but there is nothing to work with. How stupid is this? [19:20] I've used the Google DNS and also the OpenDNS and also the default DNS but nothing, in Fireofx the internet is awful :( [19:21] Jordan_U, it POSTS then goes straight into loading windows [19:21] but to get any of that done I had to take my laptop away from my appartment and get the downloads going..... its funny but the internetconnection at starbucks is better than my roadrunner connection for linux [19:21] also enering in Firefox safe mode is the same thing :( [19:21] Mnemosyne, That's bizarre [19:21] I'm using ubuntu 9.10 on my dell studio 15, but the laptop isn't suspending when I close the lid even though it's set to do so in the settings [19:21] Mnemosyne, Do you have more than one drive? [19:21] You can go to google.com right? [19:22] yes, but it's takes something like 2 minutes to open up [19:22] even more that 2 minutes [19:22] Jordan_U, yes; though the one with the grub mbr is also the one with the windows partition on it. [19:22] Curly_Q, do you have enough ram to roun the live cd [19:22] Yes. [19:22] I had exactly the same problem... you gotta go get those updates in and go to starbucks or some other place to get a different internet connection. [19:22] exactelly 237 seconds, I have and addond that show me the time [19:23] Mnemosyne, Change the boot order, remove the other drives, or install grub to all drives [19:23] OK, will try that [19:23] today I've got the updates [19:23] I'm at my apartment now, but to get things going... working... I had to do it though starbucks... or dunkin doughnuts(they sometimes have connections) [19:24] Google dns and updates.. thats what did it for me... [19:24] join #virtual box [19:24] manas: The channel name is #vbox [19:24] huff [19:24] ok [19:24] Oh and using an internet connection outside of my apartment... [19:24] manas: begin the line with / [19:24] join #vbox [19:24] Boots32M: Sorry I missed it, what exactly was your issue you fixed? Is it a wifi problem? [19:24] the updates has worked today, but the thing is that the internet connection on Firefox is working very bad.....Thanks for helping me!I will see what to do next! [19:24] For some reason, Ubuntu is just like Red Hat, it requires Windows OS to install it's OS. [19:25] manas: begin the line with / [19:25] Curly_Q: No it does not. [19:25] Curly_Q, it doesn't [19:25] Prove it. [19:25] I've just had to delete everything on my hard drive, and I've reinstalled ubuntu, but the Grub boot launcher thing comes up with an error which is something like Unknown file system? [19:25] Tourist... I thought it was a wifi problem at first, but it was really just a matter of getting my updates done from the update program.... and changing my dns server to google dns [19:25] How does it require windows to install? [19:25] I installed Ubuntu on a completely empty from-factory disk [19:26] Curly_Q: Could you explain why you think it requires Windows to install? [19:26] Boots32M: Ok, because I'm having a problem with my schools network, it connects but it's not really connected. [19:26] If you use Red Hat it requires the setup to work first with Windows. It shows that the designers are thinking of weening off of Windows to Linux. [19:26] Jordan_U, i removed my secondary HDD, and now it works. strange. [19:26] well your schools network is probably authenticated through the web browser.... did that work at lease? [19:27] the authentication process? [19:27] I will check the BIOS settings. [19:27] Curly_Q: Red Hat is not not Ubuntu. [19:27] No, and I know in windows it requires you to run a scan for a firewall and antivirus. But I get nothing. [19:27] Curly_Q, and why do you think that Ubuntu needs windows to be installed? [19:27] Pici: actually red hat is not not ubuntu [19:27] Curly: the only way that Ubuntu needs Windows in order to install is if you are using Wubi to install. [19:27] can you connect anywhere else? [19:27] blakkheim: :P [19:28] Yeah, I'm on some dlink network I found lol [19:28] I did a complete blank disk deletion to see if Ubuntu would work. It doesn't. [19:28] It works at my home too [19:28] Curly_Q: it works for everyone else, maybe you made a mistake [19:28] Curly_Q, what doesn't work? [19:28] And windows works at school? [19:28] Curly_Q: If you're having problems with the Live CD (desktop CD) you can use the alternate CD, which is able to install on computers which may have issues running the Live session. [19:28] the live-cd doesn't boots? The install fails? [19:28] Yeah, unfortunatly [19:29] Curly_Q, if you have less that 512 MB of ram you can't use the live ce [19:29] Curly: just because it didn't work does not mean that it needs windows. What system hardware are you using? [19:29] My next trick is to just re-boot and see if Ubuntu did install. But, I don't like the way it installs. [19:29] Curly_Q: Such failures have *nothing* to do with Microsoft Windows being installed on the drive. [19:29] live cd [19:29] How do you get on the network at school with windows? [19:29] step by step [19:30] gfkzh === Mowee is now known as Mowee`Bnc [19:30] It detects the network, connects, then you open your web browser, run the scan, and then it allows you to use the network. [19:30] Tourist: run the scan? [19:30] I've just had to delete everything on my hard drive, and I've reinstalled ubuntu, but the Grub boot launcher thing comes up with an error which is something like Unknown file system? Halp! === Mowee`Bnc is now known as Mowee [19:30] So then the network pings your antivirus software... (probably the same software you don't have in linux) [19:30] ?? [19:31] It's some kind of java crap. Checks for the antivirus and a firewall, if you don't have them it makes you install one and then you can use the wifi [19:31] !who | Tourist Boots32M [19:31] Tourist Boots32M: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [19:31] Tourist: lol wow [19:31] Lcawte, did you boot ubuntu before that message started to appear? [19:31] Nice: BOOT DISK FAILURE. Ubuntu at it's best. [19:31] Perhaps the user :P [19:31] Nitsuga: When I rebooted Ubuntu, and it was starting up (heading to the boot loader) I got the error [19:32] Curly_Q: We're here to answer support questions, not listen to complaints. Please try to stay constructive :) [19:32] I'm thinking about getting a netbook or laptop. I've heard good things about System76, but I'm wondering if I could save money by getting a used laptop and installing Linux on it. What should I look for? [19:32] Tourist, you gotta go see your network admin at school and ask him how to get it done in linux [19:32] Boots32M: All I get in firefox is that it can't connect [19:32] My laptop isn't suspending when I shut the lid [19:32] Boots32M: I was afraid of that. [19:32] Curly_Q: did you burn the disc at lowest speed for the burner? [19:32] Windows Installs Ubuntu doesn't. [19:32] 'apt-get update' hangs for me at "Hit http://no.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty-backports/multiverse Sources [newline] 99% [Waiting for headers]" [19:32] Lcawte, the bootloader si broken. You can try to reinstall it. Are you in a live-cd session? [19:32] What should I do? [19:33] Nitsuga: Yeah, I'm using the CD atm [19:33] Tourist, I understand... but your network admin at school may have experience in getting linux to work on the school network.. [19:33] I have a DUAL Layer DVD/CD burner, the best. [19:33] Lcawte, we can try to fix it [19:33] i have an issue [19:33] Nitsuga: Ok.. [19:33] i cant start a terminal client nor can i move my mouse [19:33] Lcawte, do you know in which partition is Ubuntu installed? [19:33] This is Mississippi and a community college. He's probably never even heard of it. [19:33] Tourist, he probably has linux:) [19:33] major_redhat, try Alt-PrintScreen-K [19:34] major_redhat, to go to a console [19:34] what will that do [19:34] ok [19:34] My laptop isn't suspending when I shut the lid [19:34] Curly_Q: When you burn the disc did you change the burn speed to 1x? or did you burn at full speed? When burning an .iso it is best to burn at lowest speed possible [19:34] major_redhat, that will forcelly kill X [19:34] Nitsuga: err... my hard disk is all ubuntu space, you want to know the exact part its on (/me can look it up on GParted) [19:34] will it be the entire screen as a console? [19:34] Tourist, I know a lot of computer geeks, and if there's one thing they all have in common is an uncommon dislike for windows!! [19:34] major_redhat, yes [19:34] ok i dont have another computer to use xchat from so i would like to say within the GUI [19:34] major_redhat, that in fact will kill the graphic environmen, it will respawn itself after a few seconds [19:35] major_redhat, wait, are you from the affected computer? [19:35] yep [19:35] Nitsuga: sdb1 by the looks of things.. [19:35] got into xchat via alt-f2 [19:35] Fatum77, why is that so. I burned the .iso file very carefully. The DVD burner or CD burner is a MAD DOG burner. It works just fine with everything. [19:35] Boots32M: Well let's hope so. So far I've lost my faith in this place. I'm having to reteach my whole C++ class because my teacher is a moron. [19:35] Tourist, there's probably a program you can get to emulate the interaction between your school's network and your computer so you can get on the net, but I don't know what program that is... :( [19:35] Lcawte, ok, mount it with: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt [19:36] and alt-f2 gnome-terminal results in an error "there was an error creating the child process for this terminal" [19:36] so i cant even get into the terminal [19:36] major_redhat, and you ca't move the mouse? [19:36] Boots32M: Me neither, I'm going to give them a call. [19:36] The burn speed does not mean anything, it is the READ SPEED that is important. [19:36] nope [19:36] kk [19:36] that is the weirdest think I have seen [19:36] lenovo thinkpad T400 [19:36] with an A4 tech USB mouse [19:36] Nitsuga: Ok [19:36] major_redhat, you can get a terminal with alt-f2 xterm [19:36] touchpad, the little red nub, and the mouse are disfunctional [19:36] whole terminal or window terminal [19:37] major_redhat, window [19:37] ok === spy is now known as Guest95904 [19:37] Nitsuga: Done that :D [19:37] major_redhat, are they disfunctional on other OS? [19:37] Curly_Q: it depends on the hardware that you are running mainly memory amount. Try burning the same .iso at lowest speed possible. When doing this I have never had a problem when burning at highest speed I get your issue 50% of the time [19:37] im not getting anything [19:37] nope === sidh_bbl is now known as sidh [19:38] mouse and trackpad work fine in win7 [19:38] Lcawte, now we will mount /proc /sys and /dev to emulate a working system [19:38] i played around with something today [19:38] sysc-rc-somethign [19:38] disabled the usplash thing [19:38] Boots32M: lol, the response. "Linux?....... uh...... I have no idea." [19:38] Nitsuga: ok, command? [19:38] and then when i rebooted i realized i messed up big time [19:38] Lcawte, sudo mount proc /mnt/proc -t proc [19:38] Curly_Q: read speed is only when you have a finished disc and are installing or reading off the disc. [19:39] Fatum77 I will take that into account. I used NERO burning software which has a very good reputation. [19:39] Lcawte, sudo mount /mnt/sys -t sysfs [19:39] Nitsuga: I get blankness? Is that supposed to happen? [19:39] hi all, im using edubuntu 7.04, i want to upgrade to the latest version, but it seems that i cannot acess the software sources, can any1 help me with upgrading pls? ty very much [19:39] Lcawte, blankness ;) [19:40] How do I get Glib 2.4.0 or newer? I'm trying to compile pidgin from source and it messes up on ./configure [19:40] How do I get Glib 2.4.0 or newer? I'm trying to compile pidgin from source and it messes up on ./configure (my internet died) [19:40] Lcawte, Lcawte, sudo mount none /mnt/sys -t sysfs [19:40] Nitsuga: K, keep going [19:40] esto como es [19:40] Curly_Q: With burners you have to remember that they have cache of their own that is used for what is being burned. At the highest speed for burning the cache might not keep up which can lead to bad sectors or incomplete information burned to the disc [19:40] it was sysv-rc-conf [19:40] Lcawte, Lcawte, sudo mount none /mnt/dev -t devfs [19:40] hey all how can i see all channels of the network ? [19:40] Nitsuga: sudo mount none /mnt/dev -t devfs [19:40] SSShvb: /msg alis help list [19:40] Nitsuga: Woops: mount: unknown filesystem type 'devfs' [19:41] Fatima77, keep in mind that I have the fastest and latest DVD/CD sold, so having said that, are you saying that Ubuntu only installs with the slowest burners? [19:41] Lcawte, type -t devtmpfs [19:41] hi [19:41] Lcawte, instead of devfs [19:41] Nitsuga: ah k [19:41] hi [19:42] Curly_Q: You wouldn't be saying it's the best if we were talking about your sex life and you being the fastest available. Faster is not always better, especially when burning data cd/dvds [19:42] Nitsuga: mount: unknown filesystem type 'devtmpfs' [19:42] Curly_Q: it has nothing to do with the install it has to deal with the .iso being burned correctly. [19:42] ok so i just went into the add/remove applications to install Konsole [19:42] Curly_Q: No. Sometimes burned cd images can be corrupt due to burning at high speed, this has nothing to do with Ubuntu. I'd ensure that your CD was burned properly by doing the "Check CD for Defects" option at the boot menu. [19:42] and it came back with error "error failed to fork pty" [19:42] HI [19:43] HI [19:43] HI [19:43] mehdi_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:43] mehdi_: stop [19:43] The ISO was burned correctly, if not, I could not read it with an EXPLORE of the disk. All of the DATA is present. [19:43] Nitsuga: isnt there some kinda remote connection wizard on Ubuntu that you can use to kinda, do it/help by watching? [19:43] so im essentially stuck right now [19:43] HI [19:43] I'm on ubuntu 9.10 and my laptop is not suspending when I close the lid. How do I find out what the problem is? [19:43] Lcawte, by watching there isn't [19:43] It is possible that the DATA is corrupted. [19:43] Dude has a major attitude problem [19:44] Curly_Q: being able to read it with explore just means that the format of it is correct. does not mean that all the info is on it [19:44] тут есть кто говорит по русски? [19:44] Lcawte, anyway we're almost done [19:44] Nitsuga: K [19:44] what is the command to upgrade whole os, exmple from 8.04 to 8.10 ? sudo apt-get upgrade doesnt do anything [19:44] Curly_Q: If it was, then there might just be an incompatibility between the LiveCD and your hardware. This can be due to very new hardware in some cases. You can use the Alternate CD to install Ubuntu which does not create a live environment. [19:44] Curly_Q: try to burn at lowest speed and install with that disc [19:44] Lcawte, did you run sudo mount none /mnt/dev -t devtmpfs ? [19:44] hoze: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [19:44] ty [19:44] есть русские??? [19:44] Nitsuga: yeah, but I get: mount: unknown filesystem type 'devtmpfs' [19:45] hoze: sudo do-release-upgrade [19:45] Curly_Q: There can be CD defects regardless of whether you can use Windows explorer to look at the disk contents.

[19:57] ellmoe2000, between Ubuntu and debian only ideollogial diferences [19:57] hmm well...maybe i should ask in the forums [19:57] There any decent way to install a .deb file into an archive? (mini-dinstall hosted), without a changes file? [19:58] ellmoe2000, Fedora is completely sifferent to ubuntu in may aspects, but it seems the same [19:58] does shipit ship 64 bit CD (not download)???

[19:58] Suddenly Gnome opens all directories off the places menu(such as home, documents, etc) in konqueror not nautilus, i have both kde and gnome indtalled but want nautilus to be my file manager while in gnome, how do set it back to nautilus in gnome? [19:58] blakkheim: did u mean that i can download, or that they will ship it to my home? [19:59] ellmoe2000: Ubuntu is based off of Debian so not much difference there. Fedora uses a different package system than debian or ubuntu and some files are located in different areas but they are all linux. [19:59] Tourist: Don't say that I was thinking of moving down there. [19:59] I was going to try out all three to help me decide which to switch over. which one is more practical and stable? [19:59] ellmoe2000: it's a matter of opinion [20:00] mzuverink, it is easy, gedit ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list [20:00] ellmoe2000: doesn't matter much; important question is do you want gnome or kde or xfce or another de [20:00] mzuverink, and add this line: inode/directory=nautilus-folder-handler [20:00] fatum77: Good luck. I'm moving out of here as soon as possible. Time to disconnect and go home. [20:00] Nitsuga, OK, thanks I appreciate it [20:00] ellmoe2000: I mean it does matter much but not if you're just an end user who wants just to have a useful pc [20:00] ellmoe2000: I use Ubuntu on my machines but have played with debian and fedora in the past. I like Ubuntu because it feels more polished and I don't use Fedora mainly because I am use to apt-get [20:01] ellmoe2000, In Debian you'll find a fimiliar but more stable environment [20:01] ellmoe2000, if you want to try something different go for Fedora [20:01] Nitsuga: agreed [20:01] i am new to this open source. been wanting to try it for several years, but was afraid to for the lack of knowledge. am having a reall thrill using ubuntu. [20:02] Fedora has become a wanna-be Ubuntu. It use to have its own mandate, now they're busy trying to compete with Ubuntu on usability and failing. [20:02] Nitsuga: Nothing.. same error [20:02] how can i make grep search for a string that has spaces and special characters such as:
[20:02] ellmoe2000: you can install kubuntu-desktop, logout and choose 'kde' as session in your login manager to check out kde; same for xfce; no need for an extra distro [20:03] Lcawte, if you press enter on grub what do you find? [20:03] bdelin88, one way is to use "fgrep" which ignores special chars.. so.. fgrep "what looking for" *files* [20:03] Nitsuga: Like a grub error console kinda thing [20:03] Nitsuga: like terminal, but more confusin [20:04] Lcawte, well, if that didn't worked i don't know what could work [20:04] Lcawte, maybe you can try reinstall ing the os or asking in #grub [20:04] Nitsuga: Trying another ubuntu reinstall... [20:04] loops: according to fgrep --help it's deprecated in favor of grep -F, just a remark [20:05] VCoolio, sure, but fgrep is easier to type, and it's been deprecated for years :o) [20:05] ellmoe2000, try Fedora. Is it different, so you'll have the noob-fun again :D [20:05] loops: I see your point; but then make it an alias ;) [20:05] Nitsuga: or noob-frustration depending on how you look at it === mathias is now known as Guest61076 [20:07] fatum77, i don't think that now he is more experienced he will have noob frustation [20:07] Nitsuga, IMNSHO there is 0% reason to use Fedora any more. At one point it was the distro to use if you wanted to support Free Software and live on the bleeding edge. Now days, it's just a poor quality Ubuntu clone === AK|desktop is now known as Andorin [20:07] Grub people look scarey smart... [20:08] Lcawte, yes?

Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).

I want windows to be first [20:31] not ubuntu [20:32] i wanted to install ulite, which is a ubuntu deriviate for slow pcs, when inserting the live cd and switching the notebook on i get to a command prompt saying grub>, does anybody know what that means? [20:32] Rug_: you may need to install the proprietary fglrx driver and use the command line aticonfig command... make sure you print the help [20:32] Kanonkas: then change the default in /etc/default/grub [20:32] ActionParsnip: I do not think that works unless your /boot directory is on its own partition formatted vfat (or fat32 or fat16) [20:32] and jcole - I installed it using the live cd (not wubi). Wubi seems to only support 30 gig [20:32] I wanted more [20:32] Hoppel: did you md5 test the iso you downloaded? [20:32] jcole: But why would Gnome work correctly, only fluxbox is giving me grief.

[23:22] VCoolio: indeed... [23:22] nitsuga: ok thanks alot [23:22] hmw: I believe it is open source and I'm sure the most paranoid users checked it, so its not obviously backdoored. [23:22] bombel, have you tried 'unzip'? [23:22] yes [23:23] powertool08: thanks. already reading the wikipedia article. sounds like a start. [23:23] hmw: But afaik, it gives the most granular security settings available. [23:23] bombel, is it possible that the archive has been corrupted? Do you have a checksum from another computer you could use to test it? [23:23] oh my... just joined the UK Loco team and want to help but don't know how - i'm not a programmer [23:23] gui1, no prob [23:23] terabyte1: /join #ubuntu-uk [23:24] 1 [23:24] bombel: then it might be the way it was 'zipped' I know some archivers have some exotic options like using 64bit blocks or custom blocks and other compression options which aren't standard [23:24] thanks jpds! :D [23:24] nitsuga: do you know where it installs it? [23:25] search ubuntu Ita channel? [23:25] !it | cristian [23:25] cristian: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [23:25] hmw: Also just go through the basics, physical security (unauthorized keyloggers, malicious usb drives, bios passwords) network security (open ports, unnecessary services, patching/updates) Think about every angle and look into its vulnerabilities, then find a way to eliminate it. [23:25] tanks [23:26] hmw: An apt-cache search/synaptic search for "security" "security tools" or something might bring up a few fun programs to learn. [23:26] Anyone here with expierence on using both nVidia and ATI drivers together? [23:27] powertool08: ah, good idea. thx again. [23:27] np [23:27] jdeloach --------------> edit your xorg.conf after your drivers are installed and pray [23:27] hmw another useful security tool, for network security at least, is backtrack linux [23:27] windows7jk: been praying night and day for two days. not working. i can only get my nvidia OR ati driver to work at a time [23:28] windows7jk: do you think i could use a generic simple driver for all 4 monitors? [23:28] I have installed php5-mysql package but i don't know where apache directory is located [23:28] jdeloach, a generic driver would probably work, but you know the trade-offs. [23:28] gui1: what part of apache [23:28] jdeloach, yeah, that's the idea...most ppl only use or need one video card at atime [23:28] gui1: do you want the config or the documentroot ? [23:29] gui1, php5 should already have mysqli support built in. [23:29] ikonia: the config [23:29] Red_HamsterX: got any ideas for a specific driver or tutorial? [23:29] BluesKaj-Laptop: got any specific driver ideas? [23:29] gui1: /etc/apache2 [23:29] jdeloach, you can't go too wrong with VESA in terms of compatibility, but the performance may be... lacking. [23:29] since banshee appears not support network files.. what do u recomend to play music ? [23:29] Red_HamsterX, Typos_King: This is the source of the file in the web. http://personal.gmagno.webatu.com/content/Graphics%20Programming/FANtastic%20tanks%202D.zip === ring1 is now known as ring0 [23:30] jdeloach ----> look into Xinerama [23:30] hmw: http://www.backtrack-linux.org/ [23:30] ikonia: thanks [23:30] I need help with sane. I have an Epson RX-580. On the supported list, it show RX-500. Can the RX-500 be used??? [23:30] windows7jk: been using it, the problem is the getting both sets of monitors to work. [23:30] jdeloach, you might be able to just use 'nv' and whatever the free ATI driver happen to be. [23:30] DBeets: thx to you also. I am collecting all hints in a text file for researching. Just remembered chrooting... Securing some apps will also be important, i guess. [23:30] fantastic tanks? [23:30] (Not the proprietary one) [23:30] heh [23:31] Typos_King, I thought the problem could be the name of the file, so I changed it to a more simple one: ola.zip [23:31] Red_HamsterX: That's what I have been doing, using "nvidia" and a "lcc something" for ati. i can't get both at the same time however. [23:31] bombel, I'm getting an error about it possibly spanning multiple disks/volumes. [23:32] jdeloach, 'nv', not 'nvidia'. 'nv' is the generic Free driver that doesn't support 3D acceleration. [23:32] jdeloach ----------- [23:32] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=221174 [23:32] powertool08: DBeets: one of the reasons, why I love Ubuntu is summed up by "1373 people in room" You guys rock! [23:32] ikonia, there is no /etc/apache2->./bin ./conf ./conf/extra... do you know where that is? [23:33] bombel, if I had to guess, I'd say the archive itself is corrupted or incomplete. Whoever uploaded it may have lost their connection before the transfer finished. [23:33] hmw: glad I could help. [23:33] bombel, try sending the author an e-mail, requesting the file and asking them to check to make sure the one on their site isn't corrupt, === root_ is now known as pseudoroot [23:33] lol root [23:34] bombel, most people willing to publish code and tutorials are happy to get e-mail from users, so don't feel like you're imposing. [23:34] gui1: the layout is different, apache2.conf is the config file, along with httpd.conf, the binary is in /usr/sbin - and it's called apache2 [23:34] Red_HamsterX, I will. That's my brother ;) And the Fantastic tanks was made by us :) [23:34] ikonia: thanks [23:35] ok, Thanks for your helps [23:36] so making a virtual host now points my localhost to it ? why!! [23:36] * histo loves screen this rocks [23:36] bombel: it opens[sorta] in PeaZip, it shows a blank content, and when tried to Extract, it prompts me for a password [23:37] sooooo, something is funky on that file [23:37] Ciao a tutti. [23:37] have a good day folks [23:37] anyone here know what exactly i need to know to enable gparted to resize an ntfs partition? [23:38] Yowshi: what version of ubuntu are you using? === pseudoroot is now known as skeleton [23:38] 9.10 [23:38] the live cd [23:38] i am trying to move from a wubi install to a proper one [23:38] Typos_King, I dont understand why it would ask for a password. But It will be solved dor sure, soon. === WindPower_ is now known as WindPower [23:38] yowshi ----------> sudo apt-get ntfsprogs [23:38] Yowshi: it should be able to resize ntfs out of box. [23:39] Yowshi: if not you need to install ntfsprogs [23:39] \quit [23:39] i hope thats on the cd [23:39] Yowshi, it IS possible, but make trouble. You shuld install ubuntu from scratch [23:39] i dont have wireless capability in ubuntu [23:39] Nitsuga: thats what i am trying to do [23:39] bash autocomplete stopped working for me for several commands like scp and ant after upgrading to karmic. Is this a known issue? [23:40] yowshi ----------> best fix for ntfs partition.....convert to ext3/4 lol [23:40] Nitsuga: but i jhave to much data to bnackup on dvd's in the windows partition [23:40] windows7jk: would that not break the partition? [23:40] Yowshi, ohh ok. Go to system -> administration -> gparted before opening the installer and resize the ntfs partition to your like [23:40] yowshi ----- yah probably....i was j/k [23:40] Nitsuga: tried that it just wont do it [23:40] Yowshi, leave the space not aloccated and in the installer choose "use the free space" [23:41] tongas [23:41] or just boot up with a live disc that has it, move the files over, then convert the partition [23:41] Yowshi, won't do it? which kind of error throws? [23:41] Nitsuga: it wont let me alter the partition [23:41] Nitsuga: at all maybe i need to run it from the command line all sudo like [23:41] Yowshi, neves move the start of a partition. Always move the end when resizing [23:41] fskhfjksfh [23:42] Nitsuga: i cant move either side of it [23:42] Yowshi, not necessary, gparted escalates itself [23:42] hola favian [23:42] Yowshi, ubuntu version? [23:42] Nitsuga: 9.10 of course [23:43] hey, i just uploaded some MB to ubuntu one, and was going to look at it from another computer, but i cant see them there, is there a way to force and update on it? i already tried rebooting my computer:P or is it just that i have to wait? [23:43] http://gparted-forum.surf4.info/viewtopic.php?id=13951 [23:43] Gambass [23:43] Nitsuga: i have deleted a bunch of shit and am now defraging hoping that the compacting of the data will give gparted what it needs [23:44] Yowshi: have you unmounted your hard drives? [23:44] Yowshi, that's not necessary [23:44] darolu: of course i did [23:44] Yowshi, something is mission in gparted [23:44] Yowshi: have you tried with parted (command line)? [23:44] darolu: not yet [23:45] darolu: i will let this last defrag go through and probably hit it again in the morning [23:45] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SystemRescueCD [23:46] boot up with that [23:46] Yowshi, anyway gparted defrags the part of the disk you are resizing and moves its files to be able to resize the partition.. [23:46] Nitsuga: weell neeeext timne i try it i will use the command line === Guest78230 is now known as iElijah [23:47] Yowshi, ok, good luck [23:48] Hello [23:48] !hi [23:48] Hi!
