[00:00] Its true. No 64 bit is annoying [00:00] they have bloated it, surely, the dl now is about 4mbs, back with Macromedia it was only 700kbs or so, more or less same functionality [00:03] hi i have installed zend server ce and uninstalled it (because i couldn't get it to work with virtual hosts..), now i have installed the php5-mysql package and when i run : /etc/init.d/apache2 restart i get an error: [00:03] * Restarting web server apache2 apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName [00:03] apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName [00:03] (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80 [00:03] no listening sockets available, shutting down [00:03] gui1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[00:06] Red_HamsterX, yes [00:06] <^sn00per^> humm i wonder if there is a ati drivers for ati moblity radeon 16mb ?? [00:06] gui1, does 'pidof apache2' display anything? [00:06] http://paste.ubuntu.com/383326/ [00:07] Red_hamsterX, nope [00:07] I would use a stop [00:07] and then a start [00:08] gui1, give me one moment to look up a command. [00:08] i'm using ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS hardy. why can't i apt-get python 2.6 ? [00:08] Red_HamsterX, when i run : netstat -anp | grep '^tcp.*LISTEN', i get : http://paste.ubuntu.com/383328/ [00:08] ./etc/init.d/apache2 stop then ps aux | grep apache2 make sure its stopped then start it again. [00:09] afaik is -> apache2ctl -k restart [00:09] Red_HamsterX, ok thanks [00:09] gui1, sudo netstat -nplt | grep 80 [00:09] Typos_King, using the initscript does the same thing. [00:10] right [00:10] does anyone know how to import bookmarks from other browsers into midori? [00:10] gui1, let me know if anything claims to be using port 80. [00:10] Soul_Sample_: Export them first from the other browsers to html or so, and then import them in Midori [00:10] Red_HamsterX, i ge this : http://paste.ubuntu.com/383329/ [00:10] Anyone? Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS hardy comes with python 2.5. Can I get 2.6 ? What is the recommended way, via apt-get? [00:10] So I just purged all my flash (ITHINK) in order to install the new adobe beta for 64bit, but it didn't work :\ I coppied the libflashplayer.so to /usr/lib and all [00:10] Typos_King: it says malformed document when i try that. from chrome, opera and firefox [00:11] Red_HamsterX, httpd is using it i think [00:11] soul_sample how's the js in Midori? if I may ask... do they use at least 1.5? I know they use webkit, so the css/html is fine [00:11] gui1, your problem's solved, then. httpd is -- Yeah, what you just said. [00:11] Red_HamsterX, but in processes it does not show up [00:11] Typos_King: everything works okay, it's fast, that's why i want to try it out more. but i don't want to export manually all of my bookmarks [00:11] gui1, IIRC, that's what apache1 uses on Debian, so you've somehow installed an Apache 1.3 package. [00:12] 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? [00:12] Red_HamsterX, wow am i in big trouble? [00:12] Red_HamsterX, lol [00:12] gui1, likely not. You just need to find out what shouldn't be there and remove it. [00:12] soul_sample; well.... you'd need to provide it with a backward compatible format, I'd say Export to html first [00:13] Typos_King: and then? [00:13] Red_HamsterX, the question is how can I do such a thing [00:13] gui1, would you like to move this to PM, since it's not likely to be a quick fix? [00:13] soul_sample and then from midori try the Import [00:13] Red_HamsterX, ok [00:13] Typos_King: i have just said that it doesn't work that way :| [00:14] soul_sample soooo, what's Midori expecting as file format then? I mean, I don't run it... but am considering [00:14] iAmerikan: use synaptic and remove the flashplugin-nonfree. Then you can do a locate flash and see if the .so is anywhere on the drive. [00:14] Typos_King: it expects html, but i guess formatted differently, but i cannot find any documentation on it [00:15] iAmerikan: then install the one from adobe. [00:15] how do I go about checking how much memory a specific process is using? [00:15] histo: I used aptitude to purge it, and put the so from adobe into /usr/lib [00:15] how can i connect to another channel using the dns name [00:16] can someone tell me how to set my keyboard shortcuts in gnome shell ? [00:16] trying to do an update, updater wnats to update some openoffice stuff... keep complaining that openoffice is running... i kill the offending processes by pid but they keep relaunching themselves... howto prevent them from relaunching ? === Rod7643 is now known as DanDare [00:17] iAmerikan: I don't think /usr/lib is the proper place. I believe it needs to go in a mozilla folder [00:17] iAmerikan: let me check mine holdup [00:17] airtonix: goto system -> Preferences -> Startup Apps and make sure it's not checked [00:17] soul_sample http://gvxdev.wordpress.com/2009/12/04/more-xubuntu-goodness-midori/ [00:18] hi all, i wanted to install seamonkey on my ubuntu but : [00:18] http://pastebin.com/ARt14yBr === krafty is now known as krafty-afk [00:18] is thre a mean to have seamonkey without installing all those gnome dependencies ?

[00:20] JrodDCx: .config/autostart [00:20] ahhh! thanks [00:20] <^sn00per^> do you guys know where i can check to see if linux has ati drivers for certain video cards? [00:21] iAmerikan: libflashplayer.so is the plugin. You can go to about:plugins in firefox to see whats currently installed also [00:21] so perhaps this question is so noobtastic you can't even see it but here i go again: how do I check memory usage of a specific process? [00:21] airtonix: as my good friend said, try .config / autostart in your home dir for open office [00:21] iAmerikan: You also have to sudo updatedb after your files have changed for locate to work properly [00:21] anarki2004: You can use "top" in a terminal [00:22] by chance, does anybody know how to reset the settings in freeciv to the default ones? [00:22] anarki2004: top will show you or ps -aux in terminal [00:22] i am running on a laptop with an atheros 5007 card is there a way to increase the signal strengh of it === zz_FeiRuoWa is now known as FeiRuoWa [00:22] ok, thanks [00:23] anarki2004: Also, "ps aux | grep " I believe its the 4th column [00:23] What's the proper way to get a private root CA trusted at the system level by browsers?

[00:30] slydon: never heard of shoutcast? tsk tsk tsk, shoutcast is older than dust, they even have a site for mp3 streaming radio shoutcast.com you can play in xmms amarok or else [00:30] I've always had trouble with ATI cards :( [00:30] Typos_King: I see, I'll try the repo first then. [00:30] ^sn00per^: Because recent versions of X do not need a conf file for cards that are supported by open drivers since it is good enough at guessing what options it will need === mtx_init is now known as vinnythechin [00:31] ! who | ^sn00per^ [00:31] ^sn00per^: As you can see, this is a large channel.

[00:32] Typos_King: You think icecast 2 will work just as well? [00:32] madjoe: no [00:32] madjoe, No, Totem is what is installed by default [00:32] Slydon: from some guys who run it, I've heard really good reviews [00:32] madjoe: NO , the pre installed player is totem it uses Gstremer backend not mplayer [00:32] madjoe: no [00:32] so, you guys being the experts and everything, where would you suggest i go to read more about using the command terminal? I don't mean ubuntu in general, I just want to know the most common terminal commands and all the triggers and whatnot.

[00:53] I have in class once, it was some distro with Gnome on it [00:54] lyrae: file owner [00:54] :f [00:54] Ircing from IRCII.. feels like the olden time. [00:54] uwaysi, did you install build-essential and the linux headers? [00:54] you using gnome now or kde?

Screw Windows they never taught me $hit except how to double click quickly [00:54] I'm running Ubuntu live on my other laptop (the one I'm typing with is the main) [00:54] jsec: no [00:54] unfortunately Jeangleur i'm hungy, and the !helpersnack s aren't enough. I'll go for something to dinner [00:54] uwaysi: I'm guessing it might be asking for some files from -> build-essential and linux-headers-generic <- those are in the repos and you can just -> sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-generic [00:54] histo: just rip out the intenel speaker! [00:54] i think you might have to install ubuntu, not sure [00:55] histo: hahah :) [00:55] JrodDCx: No i'm trying to get beep over ssh and screen [00:55] otherwise you have to setup samba every time you start the pc [00:55] I just need to get the wireless adapter working before I install it [00:55] uwaysi, what do you need the source for again? [00:55] uwaysi: some installs need certain files from there for their compiling [00:55] it should automaticlly work [00:55] !linux MJ94 [00:55] it's a Broadcom 802.11g, I was told to use lspci and paste what I have [00:55] Nitsuga, xorg.conf cannot be found on the system [00:55] it wasnt detecting networkds [00:55] oh [00:55] !linux | MJ94 [00:55] MJ94, please see my private message [00:55] :P [00:55] !helpersnack > Nitsuga [00:55] Nitsuga, please see my private message [00:55] I was also told Broadcom doesn't play nice with Ubuntu [00:56] hello [00:56] !helpersnack > Principito [00:56] Principito, please see my private message [00:56] so before I screw myself over without an XP disk to fall back on, I want to make sure I can get it working [00:56] ubuntu has always worked with my networking astuff no problem [00:56] Jockey-gtk says the Broadcom STA wireless driver is installed, but not in use, how do I use it? [00:56] mrD_ no true... is it a wireless? are you on 9.1? [00:56] broadcom doesnt play nice with ubuntu [00:56] yes and yes [00:56] !helpersnack > Principito [00:56] I also tried manually adding the networks [00:56] !wlan [00:56] Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [00:56] use a different wireless adapter [00:56] its built into the laptop [00:57] I just installed ubuntu on my girlfriends computer, and it used to work [00:57] until it restarted :| [00:57] I am very new to ubuntu.

[00:59] would it matter? it's not booting from hard drive its the live CD [00:59] I have it sitting next to me [01:00] iAmerikan: Well, give me some specific errors [01:00] MrD_ 9.1 has the drivers already, what they don't include is the firmware, due to license issues, so I read [01:00] What do you get when you restart? [01:00] :( [01:00] hi i want to ask is there some way to make sound ati hdmi work in ubuntu 9.10? [01:00] ubuntunewb: it can't read from the /dev/sda disk [01:00] Dougdoug4: nothing. wireless doesn't show up in the panel, so I check Jockey-gtk, and it says it's installed but not in use [01:01] MrD_: you can't make permanate changes using a livecd [01:01] I didnt think so [01:01] hello all, ther's a way to pass from Ubuntu to Xubuntu without losing personal data? [01:01] id say install it, you won't be stuck [01:01] I also can't download the firmware without the Internet :-P [01:01] network cards are not a grey area [01:01] well, I'm also now thinking that I'd like to run apps from this machine off the other (like Limewire) so im not too sure [01:02] it WAS working, but had a bad reboot [01:02] can everyone tell me what there passwords are so i can make a library of common pw'z [01:02] Tex_D: I don't see why not, Xubuntu is just Ubuntu using xfce4 as its window manager [01:02] Typos_k, how to? [01:02] @sl33py your_mom and penis [01:02] MrD_: you can plug in via Ethenet ! [01:02] i don't know anything about runningsn apps on one machine from another [01:02] then I lose connection here :-P [01:02] @ohmy | MrD_ [01:02] !ohmy | MrD_ [01:02] MrD_: Please remember that all Ubuntu IRC channels share the same attitude of providing friendly and polite interaction with all users of all ages and cultures. Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others. [01:02] my bad [01:02] Tex_D: xfce will be in the repos, of course, it'd a larger than usual package [01:02] Tex_D: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [01:03] !language MrD_ [01:03] MrD_: have you tried kubuntu? [01:03] typos_king what is the /dev/sda? is that the hdd? or the cd drive/cd that where i have ubuntu? [01:03] yipes the guy is asking for passwords and I thought it was a good thing to tell a troll! [01:03] I havent actually [01:03] MrD_: try a kubuntun livecd and see if the networking works [01:03] ubuntunewb: is the HD [01:03] thanks [01:04] Typos_King, could also maybe be entire HD partitioned as sdb? I've seen it happen before. [01:04] typos_king ok... does that mean that hd is broken? [01:04] kubuntu is i believe the most common setu[p for new people anyways [01:04] jsec: yes [01:04] this sounds kinda rude, but is there any good skins for KDE/Gnome? [01:04] I'd say linux mint is [01:04] ubuntunewb: too early to tell, when do you get the error? [01:04] lol [01:04] Tex_D: Sorry, I meant xubuntu-desktop if you want xfce [01:04] MrD_, gnome-look.org kde-look.org [01:04] kde/gnome are two different worlds man [01:04] no problem i got it [01:04] hi i want to ask is there some way to make sound ati hdmi work in ubuntu 9.10? [01:05] the ones I'm finding are awful, and did anyone ever make that nice one that was in the mock-ups? [01:05] DanDare hello [01:05] yeah, I know, but doesnt one flavor run Gnome and the other KDE? [01:05] heres a good skin for gnome just for you :) http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/iRaveH20+2+%28Gnome%2C+GUI++Theme+%29?content=119775 [01:05] did you "find new x" MrD_? [01:05] I may install based on which one has a nicer skin :-P [01:05] Trinity33, aftermarket sound card + linux = good luck... >_< [01:05] Trinity33: Sure, mine is working fine right now. [01:05] different worlds? they're just 2 desktop managers with window managers, nothing else [01:05] for themes, colors, wallpapers etc in kde, there is a find/get new button [01:05] Trinity33: What ATI Card do you have? [01:05] it connects to a data base [01:05] lets you search [01:05] I'll have to play with it once I get off here [01:06] also [01:06] I'm trying to install a public key for a user to login to my server. It has BEGIN SSH2 PUBLIC KEY and I'm not sure if this goes in .ssh/authorized_keys or .ssh2/authorization [01:06] google compiz-fusion [01:06] if you like desktop candy [01:06] !compiz [01:06] Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz [01:06] Is there a package for generic drivers? === Ben__ is now known as DarkBen [01:06] !compiz-fusion [01:06] typos_king i get the error when it is installing ubuntu. [01:06] graphics driver.. [01:06] Like some time ago, there was "vesa drivers" that worked on all cards.. What is todays equivalent. [01:06] rocketeerbkw: .ssh/authorized_keys, at least thats how mine is setup. [01:07] sixofour: It's just compiz now, the fusion haas been dropped from the official name [01:07] Typos_King: should ubuntunewb do fsck? to see if his hd is not borked? [01:07] MrD_, just so you can see what it's like... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4wB3GUemVw [01:07] how do i completely remove apache2 and its dependecies so i can install it fresh [01:07] sixofour how do i fsck? [01:07] sixofour: not a bad idea, that'd rule out anything else :| [01:07] powertool08: thx, should I reformat it so it's all on one line? The key I generated doesn't look anything like that [01:07] im trying to load a 8.10 live cd in a old xp laptop but its not having any of it. plenty of ram and cpu .. it hangs any ideas? [01:07] is anyone playing with the gnome beta? [01:08] http://www.tux-planet.fr/public/images/screenshots/gnome-mockup/ubuntu-mockup-3.png something like this, but there was more transparency [01:08] um, ask Typos_King how to fsck, dunno how to do it from an install menu lol [01:08] ool: use xubuntu or lubuntu [01:08] ubuntunewb: it means it couldn't read, on an install I'd think it couldn't write to it for whatever reason, boot with the live-cd and run -> sudo e2fsck -c /dev/sda [01:08] if theres one thing I love about Windows 7 is that its so sexy [01:08] :P [01:08] rocketeerbkw: Its up to you, it might work. I think whitespace is ignored but returns might trip it up. [01:08] but I do feel that as a computer scientist I should be messing with Linux [01:08] uwaysi: generics for? [01:08] Anybody know how to convert the ISO to a USB stick on MacOS X? [01:09] Typos: graphics card. [01:09] uwaysi: there are, yes [01:09] typos_king thanks. i will try that now [01:09] you think that will help? [01:09] DasEi, you there ? [01:09] mondragon: you can use unetbootin! [01:09] uwaysi: you can always check the videocard maker's site, they issue generics too [01:09] is there like a disk utility to fix bad sectors, or time for a new hdd (already!?) [01:09] ool: they need less resourses [01:09] JrodDCx: yeah, if only that ran on OS X [01:09] ool: lubuntu is still beta i think [01:10] seanbrystone: boot with the live-cd and run -> sudo e2fsck -c /dev/sda [01:10] 9.10 gave me the option to add one of two Broadcom wireless adapter drivers... apparently I chose the wrong one because it isn't finding my network... how do I change the driver? [01:10] MrD_: as a computer scientist linux should be the focus :P [01:10] what is lubuntu? [01:10] mondragon: i think they have a Usb .img of ubuntu! [01:10] how do i see which group/user is running apache2 process? [01:10] on the servers [01:10] seanbrystone: /dev/sda meaning the device....wahtever it's for you...hda.. else :) [01:10] Typos_King, ok ty [01:10] nah we use Unix servers [01:10] although I love Linux servers myself [01:10] at least for web work [01:11] linux has always been the standard for web hasn't it? [01:11] joeblob: 9.1 has the drivers already, what they don't include is the firmware, due to license issues, so I read [01:11] as it should be [01:11] joeblob: -> http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com/msg881044.html <---- make sure you run those .o lines with b43-fwcutter, when done, reboot [01:11] Windows server sucks! [01:11] but Windows 7 is pretty good I have to admit [01:11] I'm also a graphic designer and I loath OSX so it says something...right? [01:12] hehe [01:12] well, opensource can't compete with photoshop yet lol [01:12] MrD__ many graphic designers will surely digress with you :P [01:12] JrodDCx: turns out you can use hdiutil to convert .iso to .img [01:12] oh they do [01:12] and I crash Illustrator and them and tell them to go away [01:12] where do I go to change the driver used for the wireless adapter in 9.10? System >> Preferences >> Network Connections doesn't have anywhere to change it. [01:12] but mac is jsut..eh [01:12] Tex_D has Join(t)ed the chat [01:12] i need webcam help [01:12] anyone keen [01:12] MrD_: have you ttried inksxcape? [01:12] ? [01:12] I enable pcspkr module and using gnome-terminal beep sounds different than it does when typing beep in tty? [01:13] or show them how stupid Safari is. I mean, when does the + mean open the window to 960x800? [01:13] Janeng [01:13] inkscape [01:13] nope [01:13] Typos_King, i run sudo e2fsck -c /dev/sda with the drive unmounted right? [01:13] ok thanks! i managed to load DSL ok but thats taking things to extremes 50m lol, having said that was a fun os.. [01:13] I enable pcspkr module and using gnome-terminal beep sounds different than it does when typing beep in tty. Why is that? [01:13] MrD_: if there's one thing macOSX is better than many for is graphics, I was just poking/installing macOSX today on a macpro [01:13] inkscape is OSes answer to illistraitor [01:13] can I boot from an external esata drive?? I'm thinking about getting a SSD for my laptop, but I'd like to keep my internal drive for storage. [01:13] Janeng, i can hel with skype web cam [01:13] mondragon: good to know! , i dont have i mac but now i know what to tell macies lol :) [01:13] Inkscape can't be used for prepressing large print jobs of say... a 500 page novel or 200 page newspaper [01:13] help [01:13] MrD_: quick OT ?, Are the ms installer and sql server on the server 2008 install or dvd in any form or must it be downloaded? [01:13] well... it could be used... but it would suck [01:13] I could get roughly the same performance out of a PC though [01:13] i try to get the logitec e2500 running [01:13] JrodDCx: and in theory you can then just dd the img into your usb stick, although I have to finish downloading my iso to test that.. :-) [01:13] no way! [01:14] anyway... does anyone know how I can change my network adapter driver? [01:14] gspca [01:14] I dunno, but they are rolling out free betas on 2010 stuff [01:14] Janguler, with skype? [01:14] seanbrystone: yes sudo e2fsck -c DEVICEHERE; does a disk check and then runs badblocks, which checks for clusters and sectors physical state inthe drive [01:14] i don't think you dd .iso files though [01:14] oh yeah i forgot about that one Mac is BSD! [01:14] symlink jep [01:14] MrD_: Links please? [01:14] and gimp is..eh, its not paintshop yet [paintshop > photoshop] [01:14] typos_king where exactly do i type the command you gave me? [01:14] and by performance against a Mac I think I should mention its performance by dollar, not by specs [01:14] Tex_D, jep [01:14] joeblob: scribus¿¿ (19:13:33) joeblob: Inkscape can't be used for prepressing large print jobs of say... a 500 page novel or 200 page newspaper [01:15] powertool08: I don't think the beta is out yet [01:15] ubuntunewb: sudo e2fsck -c /dev/sda [01:15] Typos_King, will that fix the bad sectors or just move them to a closed off are of the hdd kinda like spinrite does? [01:15] MrD_: ok [01:15] but Office 2010 beta is out [01:15] joeblob: did you read my lines onthe 9.1 drivers? I guess no [01:15] for a month or so left I think [01:15] office lol [01:15] meh [01:15] Visio is pretty nice [01:15] can anybody advise me re: getting my internal (not usb) sdcardreader working? [01:15] considering last semester I was using Java-based crapware [01:15] office 1998 and office 2010..not much difference right? [01:16] 2010 is like 2007 with a better interface [01:16] its way more intuitive [01:16] typos_king im sorry i am very new to this. i don;t know where to do that. do i go in to ''try ubuntu without any change to your computer? [01:16] MrD_: Just so you know the IRC Cops are gonna get you for off topic ness! [01:16] startx :) [01:16] I'm actually proud of MS lately [01:16] I'm getting out now anyway [01:16] its Taco Bell time! [01:16] JrodDCx: IRC OPs, not irc cops [01:16] thanks for all the help [01:16] MrD_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:16] JrodDCx: atleast this isn't #debian [01:16] MrD_: Run Mr dr run! before they get you! [01:16] seanbrystone: there's no fixing for bad sectors/clusters, just 'marking' so the OS doesn't use them, but most if not all HDs these days use S.M.A.R.T which does that automatically when one goes bad [01:16] Typos_King: I see... I'm not sure that will do the trick for me since I'm just "trying" ubuntu... I'm trying to recover data on a screwed up Windows install [01:17] joeblob: it has for me, sooo, and I use a broadcom card, as well as other [01:17] actually... it appears to have "activated" Broadcom STA and it's "seeing" my adapter now... [01:17] Latest Ubuntu and firefox, so I got sound working in firefox for flash [youtube] but now the buttons don't work, for example i can't hit the play/pause button, and also when i visit youtube, firefox can no longer be closed unless i manually kill the process with ksysgaurd, what do? [01:17] so hopefully this works [01:17] I appreciate the info Typos_King [01:17] Can someone recommend dj turntable software [01:18] Typos_King, oh ok, im not sure if this drive has SMART or not, it's a usb external 300 Gig hdd thats about 2 years old with very little use, so i was shocked to see it had bad ssectors already :(((( [01:18] IR OPs are scary :( [01:19] jimi: http://techcityinc.com/2009/04/14/10-best-audio-editors-for-linux/ [01:19] jimi_ : software that works with actual time encoded turntables?

[01:19] Question: If I have ubuntu currently installed unpartitioned (my whole HD is dedicated to it), is it possible to install a copy of windows as well and divide it without wiping everything i have here?

[01:23] lifesengine, you should be able to shrink the partition using the disk utility [01:23] lifesengine: have backups, boot live cd, resize ubuntu partition using gparted, install windows to free space, reinstall grub [01:23] v4mpire: are you on 9.1? [01:23] Sure lifesengine: you can run gparted (or the LIVEcd) to repartition. Then run windows and install to the newly created partition [01:23] !mint | MJ94 [01:23] MJ94, please see my private message [01:24] Typos_King, yes [01:24] There's help for everything...

[01:24] lifesengine: gparted is on the livecd [01:24] lifesengine, if you know what a partition is, you're qualified. give it a shot and ask us when you get stuck [01:25] jimi..... well....they list a few others, or as user442 said, maybe Mixxx [01:26] v4mpire iirc, 9.1 doesn't put a xorg.conf by default....

[01:29] The proposed artwork.

Is there a pulse audio mixer in Ubuntu? I remember one in Fedora... [01:30] Anyone try ubuntu on mobile with arm processor? [01:30] Roasted, yup [01:31] jsec: check out the new pastebin [01:31] i have a question about ubuntu...can anyone help? [01:31] trollboy, how do I get to it? I dont have sound in a wine app and I want to make sure that isnt effecting it [01:31] roasted: http://techcityinc.com/2009/04/14/10-best-audio-editors-for-linux/ maybe? [01:31] i've tried re-installing, doesn't work either [01:31] it's not an answer [01:31] Andy80: what's the problem? [01:31] Roasted, its installed by default [01:32] Google ubuntu pulse audio for stuff on how to get at it [01:32] trollboy, how do I get to the pulse audio mixer panel, is what Im asking [01:32] can i get some help with a problem im having? [01:32] right click on the sound icon and select preferences [01:32] !ask | cst [01:32] cst: 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. :-) [01:33] will ubuntu allow me to run gparted during installation? [01:33] Roasted, do you mean the "pulseaudio device chooser" utility (package "padevchooser") ? [01:33] joeblob: yes [01:33] joeblob: yes it will. it's a necessary step [01:33] kool [01:33] drizzt: is it a .deb I assume? [01:33] how do i log onto a windows server? like our school has a windows based server that we hold all our software and stuff and i cant connect through ubuntu [01:33] help? [01:33] Man, something broke my X-server pretty badly. I get a black screen with a spinning "loading" icon, which afaik is X running in vesa mode. I tried installing both the official nVidia drivers and the proprietary ones in the repository, Neither has worked. Now I'm running an apt-get upgrade to see if that fixes anything. [01:33] anyone here know how to get a samba shared printer with user authentication to be used on a windows client? [01:33] kostkon, Im not sure. I just remember seeing a control panel of pulse audio devices in fedora, and you could control volume on each app there. Im trying to do the same in ubuntu, since a wine app Im using has no sound yet it should be fine. Just trying to make sure its not effecting it. [01:33] cst, are you using remote desktop? [01:33] If it doesn't, I might just go ahead and reinstall. [01:34] HoudiniMan: I'm not sure what to do in Gparted, i see 3 drives, 2 of them are 3.08GB a piece [01:34] HoudiniMan: i can distinguish my main one obviously [01:34] cst: how do you login from win32 to it? what kind of logins do they provide? telnet, ssh, ftp?

[01:36] all i know is in windows we would map the network drive and enter a username and password and it would open [01:36] cst, are you just going to a website and logging in thru that? [01:36] how can i do the same in ubuntu? [01:36] Roasted, yeap, that's pavucontrol. you can install padevchooser and then easily access pavucontrol by left clicking on padevchooser's icon in the tray. [01:36] cst: so, how can we help you,if you may not understand the answer you may give you? [01:36] Roasted, did you check wine's sound prefs btw? [01:36] anyone here familiar with samba?

My buddy just imed me, said he installed something in wine just fine, so I did too. we're on different hardware, but his sound works, mine doenst. I figured by default sound preferences would be okay. How do I check? [01:38] cst, you can do something similar by going 'Places'->'Connect to server' [01:38] how can I install a package without dependencies? [01:38] trism: any idea? [01:39] the server is already int he network place, but when i click on it it says there are 0 itme [01:39] s [01:39] but when on windows it shows all the contents [01:39] Roasted, just give "winecfg" in a terminal or alternatively you shoudl be able to access it from wine's submenu in your applications menu. [01:40] what is the name of application in ubuntu which is used to install .deb packages :D [01:40] ? [01:40] acony: dpkg -i DEBPACKAGE [01:40] Gdebi I think. [01:41] does anyone have any idea about development version of Gwibber not showing the icon in the status bar? [01:41] welll.... Gdebi is a dpkg frontend, yes [01:41] Hey, I've been able to boot into the ubuntu installer, but I want to install from this ISO / ISO extract available on the local network server. can I do that?

I did an update last night, but it wasn't a kernel update. Ever since then, I get a black screen with a loading cursor in it. I've tried installing both the official nVidia drivers and the ones in the the repository, but the issue persists. Should I just reinstall?

[01:43] Haha, my bad. >_> [01:43] histo: just do it using Gdebi GUI or using dpkg then [01:43] for student login after suffing internet [01:44] Typos_King: its ogoig to be a command line install and network wont' work without it. [01:44] is there a ubuntu kvm image ?

[01:44] for student login after suffing internet [01:45] histo: I don't think you need wicd for the wireless to work...I don't have it, wicd is just a network manager frontend afaik === nikolam_ is now known as nikolam [01:45] Typos_King: its wpa2 with a password.

It is deprecated, use !pulseaudio instead. [01:46] histo, ok cause i ran sudo e2fsck -c /dev/sdc and it gave me superblock invalid bad magic number [01:47] cst, I doubt you can do this yet [01:47] seanbrystone: you're trying to check an ntfs drive in linux? [01:48] drizzt, why is that? i opened the server and the folder i need but the files wnt open [01:48] not even with wine [01:48] yeah im in ubuntu live cd running that command on my external hdd, cause Ubuntu reported it had bad sectors [01:48] but yet it works great [01:48] seanbrystone: you need to install ntfsprogs [01:48] on live cd? [01:48] o.O [01:48] seanbrystone: bad sectors are not OS dependant, are just media physical issues, independent of the filesystem [01:48] seanbrystone: sudo ntfsfix /dev/hda1 or whatever your partition is [01:48] k [01:49] seanbrystone: /dev/sdc is not a parition but a drive you need a numbe rin there at the end [01:49] just installed ubuntu, need help connecting to internet using wireless usb [01:49] !wifi | gobz122 [01:49] gobz122: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [01:49] gobz122: use network-manager up by the clock [01:50] gobz122: what ... wireless chipset do you have? check in 'lspci' [01:50] histo, sudo fdisk -l reports it as /dev/sdc no numbers [01:50] gobz122: if its not connecting then you may need firmware.

[01:52] seanbrystone: you need to use ntfsfix to check ntfs as far as I knew [01:52] seanbrystone: not e2fsck [01:52] seanbrystone: that means something is up withh the HD [01:52] :( [01:52] Andy80: looking through the code, it appears that they removed it, which is why it isn't showing up...they seem to really want us to use the indicator applet [01:53] seanbrystone: sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs && sudo ntfsfix /dev/sda# [01:53] how do i remove pulseaudio and use oss? [01:53] k [01:53] seanbrystone: you have to fix the /dev/sda# with your partition [01:53] trism: the indicator applet isn't able to show Gwibber! At least in Ubuntu 9.10 [01:53] seanbrystone: just recently had a hd going south on me..... lots of errors on e2fsck, ran smart monitor tools, reported the HD was rather bad and possibly developing more bad sectors,had to get a new one [01:53] !oss | sixofour [01:54] there is non !oss [01:54] no [01:55] * Typos_King dashes [01:55] !sound | sixofour [01:55] sixofour: 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).

[02:00] V4mpire, it seems that the "vesa" trick didn't worked [02:04] how can I install a package without dependencies? [02:04] How come if i leave the updates window open for more than 8 hours without checking it, i can never succesfully click update? [02:04] drizzt_: you can't install a package without dependancies [02:04] drizzt_: thats like buying a car without the seats, or the engine. [02:05] Yeik, of course I can, but I'm tired of editing status file each time and look for simpler way [02:05] Nitsuga, no i tryed doing it from source which i did last time i had this problem didn't seem to work think i'm going to put the other hdd back in a minute and check the xorg.conf if no help then will leave it for tonite [02:05] drizzt_: if you say so.

[02:10] drizzt_: is there a problem with a dependency? [02:10] i don't want to build it, i need to install its binaries [02:10] Drizzt_: the deps are needed to make it run but you COULD tell apt-get to only download the deb then force install it. I don't advise you do this though [02:10] yes the idiot maintainer included optional thing s as dependencies [02:10] hi all......im new to this [02:10] I have an cannon pixima ip1700. When I plugged it in I installed the driver that ubuntu suggested, however, nothing seems to be printing. (not even blanks) [02:10] drizzt_: whats the package? === jsec is now known as jsec|afk [02:11] Poseidon: check http://openprinting.org for compatibility [02:11] has anyone used i-doser? [02:11] drizzt_ The only way you can install a package without installing other packages, is if it includes all its dependancies with it. That is the way windows works as well. [02:12] Poseidon: you may need a later version of something. Canon printer support is patchy at best in linux [02:12] ActionParsnip, a later version of the driver? [02:12] What could be done to get better resolution ? I cant find in Display the 1024x768 settings. HELP PLEASE [02:12] Yeik: not if you use force options with dpkg ;) [02:12] researcher1: what type of video card? [02:13] dont remember [02:13] ActionParsnip yeah, but try running it after that! [02:13] researcher1: lspci | grep VGA [02:13] how do I find what video card I have [02:13] Poseidon: maybe, the site will say, search for your printer in the printer list to see what the deal is [02:13] researcher1: most likely system > admin > Hardware drivers will have an appropriate driver for you also [02:13] Yeik: I know but it can be done is my point. It won't do much ;) [02:14] does anybody know if you can get the nice gui on ubuntu netbook edition working in xfce4? [02:14] ok [02:14] anyone got any ideas how to fix this ? ** (gdm-binary:1713): WARNING **: Failed to acquire org.gnome.DisplayManager [02:14] ActionParsnip: That is a very good point. I never knew about the force option, I have never needed to try it. [02:14] Delboy83uk: I believe its gnome based. I'd ask in #xubuntu [02:14] GOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUCKYOURSELFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF === AreaFileUser is now known as GFY [02:15] histo:I got the message No proprietary drivers on this system [02:15] i thought it might only be gnome boo [02:15] researcher1: what was the output of lspci | grep VGA did it show you video card? [02:15] Nitsuga, any ideas on that error ? [02:15] let me run that command [02:15] Yeik: its needed if your packages go wonky and you need to put a package ina nd apt-get is moaning about deps which aren't there but really are [02:15] so where are downloadded debs?

What version of ubuntu? [02:17] it is trying to install the new version of mysql, [02:17] but it can't remove the old version [02:17] lmao at the non kick msg that happens to be really awesome! [02:17] ubuntu 9.10 [02:17] V4mpire, that error started to appear when you edited the xorg file? [02:17] researcher1: and it won't let you go higher than 1024? is this a laptop perhaps that doesn't support higher? [02:17] Quentusrex: can you remove it manually then upgrade? [02:18] ActionParsnip, how do I remove it manually [02:18] its a desktop [02:18] apt-get remove mysql-server-5.0 fails [02:18] because there are unmet dependancies [02:18] researcher1: does the monitor support higher than 1024?

[02:19] holy crap [02:19] Nitsuga, when i try to restart gdm [02:19] haven489, i don't think so [02:19] hi there, quick question: do install Ubuntu in FRENCH, do I download the regular version on ubuntu.com, or is there a special version?

[02:20] lol [02:20] well he is like pissed because it was a brand new computer [02:21] Pici > thanks so the regular CD includes already all languages? not just the language of the install process, the language of the OS too right? [02:21] researcher1, mot time it isn't needed. You only need one for ati and nvidia cards [02:21] nasht00: Correct. [02:21] he should be like pissed at his incompetance [02:21] he installed ubuntu and when he rebooted all of his stuff fried [02:21] Pici: thanks [02:21] nasht00, no, you have to download translations from internet [02:21] Nitsuga, it started happening after i used this command sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [02:21] researcher1, the dirvers for all the other cards comes preinstalled [02:21] scroll off screen with mouse is not comfortable to me. So I will let it be what it can naturally go with [02:21] softweare doesn't destroy hardware [02:21] nasht00: no, you will have to download the langue after install, if you talk about the dvd then it does have all languages [02:21] V4mpire, mmm... remove the xorg and reconfigure it ahain [02:21] Haven489: no it can't fry hardware.

I'm almost inclined to think it's a problem with pidgin on my side... [02:22] ActionParsnip: sixofour thats not entirely true software can destroy hardware [02:22] Ubuntu configures xorg automatically, rite? [02:22] nasht00: only if you want #all packages [02:22] V4mpire, remove the -phigh [02:22] not default ubuntu [02:22] Haven489: there are light verions of ubuntu and light linuxes which suit old hardware [02:22] mook01, /join ##security [02:22] how do i remove alsa and install oss? [02:23] nasht00: xangua: I believe thats only if you install using English and then switch to another language.

[02:23] thx [02:23] Nitsuga: headseeks etcc.. [02:23] Haven489: should be fine. Possibly bad hardware. You will have warranty [02:23] histo, mmm you are right [02:23] Nitsuga: there were some nasty viruses that have done it. [02:24] sixofour: yes? [02:24] that guide didn't work [02:24] histo, I remember the DOS virus that played poker with you and if you win restores your BIOS, if you don't it erases it.

I just converted from Win7 to a Ubuntu Linux (desktop ed.) v9.10 computer (using it as a file server on a windows network). I need some help with file system permissions. At first, it doesn't appear as groups/users directory permissions appear in Windows. [02:40] turtle_: what do you mean? [02:40] It seems that I can only assign +R+W to myself (the owner) or to a Group. However, that list of groups doesn't include a group that I just created. In fact, it only shows about 6 groups. [02:40] miniCruzer: You're missing something at the end of the link. Plus, sometimes wget doesn't use the right filename, so you need to force it yourself. The following command works: wget "http://modules.anope.org/index.php?page=download&id=32&release=5.0&name=cs_accessfounder.cpp&v=34" -O cs_accessfounder.cpp [02:40] turtle_: im having samba problems here myself :P [02:41] Weird [02:41] Nitsuga, i gotta go now but if u come up with any ideas drop them in pm if you could i will try them in the morning [02:41] hi im want to run elgg on ubunru server but i need a setup that will provide scalability and redundany what are my options?

I installed an nVIDIA GeForce 5200FX into a machine with a Windows 7/Ubuntu dual-boot, and upon booting in Ubuntu, my CPU usage widgets show the cores running at 100% and a range of 50-70%. The main core stays at 100, and the other varies. What could cause this? It's upgrading compared to the Intel integrated chipset.

[03:02] cst: what does 'testout' do? I haven't heard of it [03:03] it is a program that we take our tests on in school. i have been using wine to try and open it..but it says that the files are not there [03:03] and i know for a fact that they are [03:05] Hi, I want to install nvidia drivers in my LTSP PXE-served chroot, without having DKMS running the module compilation on each run. How can I accomplish that? [03:06] yeah, so dd'ing a .dmg onto a usb stick under macos x doesn't result in something bootable... [03:06] mondragon: because dmgs are OSX only, typically. [03:06] darolu: thanks [03:06] lfaraone: well, I converted the ubuntu netbook iso to a dmg using hdiutil [03:07] lfaraone: as per the instructions on the ubuntu web site.. :-) [03:07] mondragon: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromImgFiles#Mac%20OS%20X ? [03:07] lfaraone: yeah, that...no joy [03:08] mondragon: that guide does not reference hdiutil. [03:08] lfaraone: also the mac section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [03:08] lfaraone: well, hdiutil is how you make the .img in the first place [03:08] whats a stable symlink during copy?

[03:10] dsnyders: it generates it [03:10] chaz: just ask your question. [03:11] sup guysss!! [03:11] dsnyders: xrandr would be my guess [03:11] lfaraone, I was having problems with X and someone last night suggested I delete xorg.conf. I thought he was daft, but I did it, and x started working again. [03:12] dsnyders: ah. well, as chaz says, later versions of ubuntu regenerate it. [03:12] So now I have x running, but no xorg.conf. [03:12] dsnyders: I told you it will probe your hardware and generate a suitable config when you start it. [03:12] chaz, where does it put it? [03:12] dsnyders: It doesn't. Try running `Xorg -configure` then move file it generates to /etc/X11/xorg.conf [03:13] lfaraone: yeah, sure enough it isn't marked as bootable for some reason [03:14] dsnyders, lfaraone, Xorg 1.6 and superior doesn't require a xorg.conf to work [03:14] mondragon: what are you attempting to install *to*? [03:14] lfaraone: HP mini 110....I've done it this way before, I just can't seem to remember how I made the USB stick [03:14] you can also have a xorg.comf with only the things you need (eg Driver "nvidia") and it will work as expected [03:15] mondragon: use an existing Ubuntu system, or Windows? [03:15] lfaraone: if I had any of those things, I would use them [03:15] Nitsuga, Do you know of a website somewhere that explains how it all works? [03:15] ubuntu [03:15] mondragon: worst case, boot OSX from a live CD and use the Ubuntu enviorn there. [03:15] dsnyders: man xorg, man xorg.conf [03:15] darkfaery is onjoin M spamming [03:16] lfaraone: I think I'll probably resort to booting a vmware VM from a live ISO before I do that.. :-) [03:16] mondragon: *boot your mac [03:16] I'm working on a friend's machine where I recently installed Karmic and now it's stuck at "grub rescue>" -- any idea what's happening? [03:16] mondragon: I have my dell m1330 dual-booting OS X and Ubuntu, so I'm personally happy. Wifi and ethernet don't work, though. :P [03:17] lfaraone: wow, even the wired ethernet doesn't work? :-( [03:17] mondragon: Intel card, I think. I had to resort to a USB-eth adapter.

For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [03:20] lfaraone: phooey, vmware it is, it seems... [03:20] dsnyders, no, sorry. You can google for Xorg hotplug [03:21] yeah, I found the wiki- I was hoping for some quicker pointers here :) [03:21] Nitsuga, Thanks. Will do. [03:23] I'm loading the boot CD and checking it out - maybe when I thought I deleted all the Windows partitions I didn't after all and that's causing this error [03:23] Help.

Para ajuda em português do Portugal, digite /join #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. [03:40] macman_, changing audio qulity doesn't affect the final size too much [03:40] KurtKraut: Oh sorry, that's backwards. -pt is LoCo, -br is language. And it's official as of a few years ago when the factoid was changed [03:40] Nitsuga: what can i do to change the final size [03:40] dramz: any good guides ? [03:40] macman_, in that case is better to recompress the video [03:41] KurtKraut: (that's why the -pt factoid says to join -br for support, and -pt for the loco) [03:41] sorry [03:41] macman_, the mplayer utilities could pull them apart, but then you'd have the issue of re-synching the audio and video. [03:41] Flannel, oh, I got it. [03:41] How can i get lvm-mod working on 9.04? Im trying to get /proc/lvm to work, and it says i need to modprobe lvm-mod...but it gives me: FATAL: Module lvm_mod not found [03:42] macman_, you can do that with avidemus in a graphical way [03:42] macman_, avidemux [03:42] macman_, also handbreak is well for recompressing [03:42] Code_Bleu: You're trying to get LVM to work in general? or what? [03:42] dsnyders, with ffmpeg with -copyv he can only compress the auido [03:42] where can i find a list of alternate metapackages, e.g. ubuntu-desktop [03:42] I cant connect with Pidgin from my office PC which is behind a firewall. I have configured proxy but still no connection.HELP?Web browsing is possible yet. [03:43] Refried_: Alternate to what? [03:43] researcher1: can you connect using other services? [03:43] Flannel: no..its working..i was just wanting to get some way of getting some stats..i read that /proc/lvm should be available, but its not for me [03:43] ifaraone:i dont know other services [03:43] Yesss! [03:43] It had preinstalled drivers for the modem! [03:44] Flannel: alternate to ubuntu-desktop [03:44] Now running ubuntu! [03:44] Code_Bleu: What sort of stats? I've never heard of /proc/lvm (nor do I have mod-lvm installed) [03:44] I just noticed a user named "remote" on my Karmic box, and don't know where it came from. Any idea what package created it? [03:44] Flannel: like xubuntu-desktop… or whatever comes in the server builds. i'm in a chrooted debootstrapped install, and i don't have ubuntu-desktop; i probably don't want it, but i'm trying to see what the alternatives are [03:44] hey i'm having issues with cpu frequuency scaling appearing to not work correctly in ubuntu netbook remix [03:44] !lucid > kindofabuzz [03:44] kindofabuzz, please see my private message [03:45] Flannel: I just did a google search for /proc/lvm and there is a bunch of results that state this should work [03:45] Refried_: apt-cache search \\-desktop | grep buntu [03:46] Refried_: The server build has ubuntu-standard and ubuntu-minimal on it (all installs do) [03:46] Flannel: my main objective is some way of polling the 'lvs' command to monitor the snapshot percentage and be able to alert on that when it reaches a certain value [03:46] hi [03:46] Flannel: ah, thanks (ubuntu-standard) [03:47] what is this [03:47] your imagination [03:47] Flannel: I just thought /proc/lvm or /proc/lvm/global might report those values easier than grepping lvs [03:47] haha nice [03:47] :D [03:48] actaully i created a image for a prtition with 12 GB with partimage, now i tried restoring it to a 40Gb partition, now the partition shows 12Gb size when i right click and select properties, but in fdisk -l it shows 40gb, what can i do to use the whole 40GB ?

[03:51] i want to upgrade, but switching it out seems completely intense [03:51] try resize2fs [03:51] Code_Bleu: resize2fs to what? how can I get the correct size? [03:51] darolu, the filesystem is 12GB long, but the partition is larger [03:52] obscurant1st: the partition that is 40G [03:52] Nitsuga: yeah I got it, so what Code_Bleu said should work [03:52] darolu, to fix that unmount the partition and run resize2fs /dev/sxx [03:52] ie. sudo resize2fs /dev/sda4 [03:52] my ubuntu looks cool with a mac theme [03:52] oh, k, so i have to resize it to 40GB [03:52] ? [03:53] Code_Bleu, yeah! double-help! [03:53] !helpercookie | Code_Bleu [03:53] obscurant1st: the filesystem will extend to fit the partition [03:53] !helpersnack | Code_Bleu [03:53] Code_Bleu: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [03:53] thanks [03:54] Nitsuga: thanks [03:54] obscurant1st, just umount it and run resize2fs /dev/sda4 [03:54] Nitsuga: k [03:55] I have a WIndows/Ubuntu dual-boot, and I installed a graphics card yesterday. It's an nVIDIA GeForce 5200FX, upgrading from an integrated Intel chipset. The card works perfectly fine, because Windows is having no problem, but my CPU usage screenlet is reporting CPU usage of 100% on Core0 and 60-80% on Core1. I've used 'top,' and it claims that Xorg is using up a lot of my CPU. Can anyone help? === Blackcamaro8` is now known as Blackcamaro8 [03:56] Blackcamaro8, have you installed the restricted driver? [03:56] Yes. Version 179, nVIDIA forceware. [03:56] dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-2.6.31-19-virtual_2.6.31-19.56_amd64.deb (--unpack): [03:56] trying to overwrite '/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-19-server', which is also in package linux-image-2.6.31-19-server 0:2.6.31-19.56 [03:56] anyone understand the cause? [03:56] bad kernel build? [03:56] Blackcamaro8: I thought it was up to 185 or so? [03:57] quentusrex, you can't install the -server kernel and the -virtual kernel at the same time [03:57] For the FX5200, it's 179 maximum, for it was the last to support the card. [03:57] thanks. [03:58] I'm upgrading a kvm virtual server from 8.10, to 9.04 and now to 9.10 [03:58] and it had that error [03:58] so something somewhere wanted to install both. [03:58] Blackcamaro8: Damn! I hate that they're removing old cards. AMD is worse, though. I got burned by that last month. [03:59] dj_segfault, blame xorg authors who cannot maintain stable driver interfaces [03:59] dj_segfault, mee too, I couldn't find a driver that works on windows 7 for a Radeon Xpress 200M. Fortunately in ubuntu it works (almost) fine with the open source drivers [04:00] anyone knows how to change this ugly login window in 9.10? [04:01] dj_segfault: Yeah, it sucks.. I upgraded my primary system(the one I'm on) to a GF 6200A-LE and decided to upgrade my secondary(sitting next to it) to handle better graphical applications. Windows is having no problems with the card, but Ubuntu is working... relatively okay. THe only problem is slowness caused by CPU being at 100%/50-70%. >_< [04:01] Nitsuga, open source radeon drivers cannot hold anything less primitive than compiz effects [04:02] yeah, so unetbootin doesn't work [04:02] drizzt_: That is a completely untrue statement [04:02] Blackcamaro8: Can you justify spending $30 or so on another card? [04:02] soreau, it's a fact [04:03] LinuxNoob75: hi eric [04:03] what up brother [04:03] drizzt_: Well obviously, you've been grossly misinformed [04:03] dj_segfault: No, the card works perfectly fine. It's something to do with the way Ubuntu is handling the drivers. The card works great for Portal and Garry's Mod in Windows. [04:03] drizzt_, it works pretty well for me [04:04] soreau, what are you smoking? I have a radeon card and use radeon driver [04:04] soreau, it works pretty well for me [04:04] drizzt_: Maybe I am misunderstanding the meaning of your statement 'adeon drivers cannot hold anything less primitive than compiz effects' [04:05] JOIN xubuntu [04:05] drizzt: I use the open source ATI driver and everything works fine; can you link us to your source? [04:06] Do I need to do anything special to make ubuntu get chainloaded from another version of grub? [04:06] hola a todos [04:06] So I don't need to modify the "master" menu.lst file every time there is a kernel update [04:06] just ubuntu's oen install of grub [04:06] own* [04:06] darolu, my 'source' is my personal experience === arleslie is now known as arleslie|sleepin === arleslie|sleepin is now known as arleslie|away [04:07] Cyber_Akuma: Doesn't updating the kernel update the menu.lst for you? [04:07] [usuario] do u speak english? [04:07] yes so so [04:08] !en | usuario [04:08] usuario: The #ubuntu, #kubuntu and #xubuntu channels are English only. For a complete list of channels in other languages, please visit http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat [04:08] :D [04:08] [usuario] me too.. jeje [04:08] Cyber_Akuma: Oh I get what you mean now. What other boot loader? [04:08] can i help u? [04:08] [usuario] where are you from? [04:08] !es | usuario [04:08] usuario: 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. [04:08] Hi.. I was messing with xrandr and I think I severely botched something. Tried everything to reset it, but my screen is all funky. Should I reinstall X? [04:09] dj_regfault: You there? I have another question. [04:09] sorry i was thinking that i was in spanish room [04:09] Blackcamaro8: Yeah, but not sure I can help with the driver issue [04:09] bye [04:09] anyone know why i have to keep restarting my pulseaudio for my external soundcard to be picked up as a 5.1 (otherwise it jus picks it up as a 2.1) [04:10] adalal: Because pulseaudio sucks. I don't know anyone it just works all the time for. I have to kill it all the time on my *internal* sound card in my laptop. [04:10] what apt-get message 'No suitable version for exists" means? [04:11] dj_segfault: This is a different issue. It has to do with startup commands. I have tried all the ways to make a command happen on startup that I could find, yet I can't get 'modprobe ndiswrapper' to run on startup, and I have to manually type it into the terminal every time I boot, which is annoying. Ndiswrapper handles Windows wireless drivers for Netgear cards. I just want a WORKING way to make the command work upon login/ [04:12] Blackcamaro8: Put the command in /etc/rc.local, which runs after all the other services start up. You might want to put a service network restart after it. [04:13] Tried that. [04:13] Cyber_Akuma, GRUB2 will add entries for all OS's it detects automatically, and keep them up to date. [04:13] Blackcamaro8: what happened when you tried? Did you redirect the output and look at it? [04:14] Cyber_Akuma, If you really want to load grub2 from another grub then use "root=whatever; multiboot /boot/grub/core.img" [04:14] dj_segfault: When I tried, I logged in, my desktop was exactly as before, and my wireless card was not even detected. [04:14] Cyber_Akuma, Or "root whatever; kernel /boot/grub/core.img" in grub legacy [04:15] Blackcamaro8: Remember that /etc/rc.local, like crontab files, doesn't have all your env vars and path. Make sure to specify all paths. Also, noticing it didn't work is NOT the same thing as looking at the output to see if it's telling you why it didn't work. Please do the latter. [04:15] I don't know how... -_-;; [04:16] dj_segfault: Are you against using PMs on IRC? [04:16] Hey all, my update manager is "frozen" after I hit Install Updates, it went gray and now whenever I mouse over it, the mouse gives me the "working" animation. It has been like that for over 4 hours. What's going on and what can I do? [04:16] how do I rescan a newly installed package to view it via the gnome menu? [04:17] armence: I would restart and then try sudo apt-get upgrade [04:17] ehh [04:17] whats core.img? [04:17] Blackcamaro8: /sbin/modprobe ndiswrapper > /tmp/modprobe.out 2>&1 then look at that file after you reboot [04:17] armence, you can use xkill [04:17] ok, thanks [04:17] armence, Alt-F2, "xkill" [04:17] then click on the unresponsive window [04:17] The main reason is so I can mutiboot different operating systems without having to manually update the menu.lst every time there is a kernel update [04:17] Want me to put all that in the terminal at once? [04:18] Are there any ways to upgrade to Ubuntu 10.04 alpha 3 direct from Ubuntu Karmic? [04:18] slashzul: It should so just show up in a second. What did you install? [04:18] xfact, Yes, but lucid support is only in #ubuntu+1 [04:19] Blackcamaro8: Put this in /etc/rc.local (without the quotes) "/sbin/modprobe ndiswrapper > /tmp/modprobe.out 2>&1" [04:19] Cyber_Akuma, Like I said, with GRUB2 you won't need to manually update anything [04:19] After rebooting, look at that file. [04:19] what do you mean? [04:19] You got it. [04:19] It still needs to point to a kernel file doesen't it? [04:19] Blackcamaro8: That is, look at /tmp/modprobe.out. [04:19] Cyber_Akuma, Yes, but it makes entries for all OSs that are installed [04:20] dj_segfault: I don't have a directory called rc.local. o_o? [04:20] But what if that os updated it's kernel? [04:20] Can someone tell me how to change from compiz WM to metacity while in recovery mode? [04:20] Cyber_Akuma, You run "update-grub" in the main system. [04:20] And thus now has a different filename [04:20] Blackcamaro8: rc.local is a file you can create in the /etc directory [04:20] Yeah, I wanted to avoid that, thats why I was doing this [04:20] dj_segfault: Oh okay. Hold on... [04:20] It would be a pain to boot into ubuntu and run update-grub just to reboot into opensuse [04:21] Blackcamaro8: Are you typing this on the machine we're talking about? [04:21] message144: metacity --replace from alt+f2 run dialog? (I didn't know you could have compiz running in recovery mode) [04:21] opensuse uses grub1 as well meaning I can't just tell it to use the same boot partition as ubuntu, which uses grub2 [04:21] dj_segfault: No. I'm sitting at two, it's the one to my right that I am troubleshooting. [04:21] Cyber_Akuma, multiboot is a protocal for loading kernels. If you use multiboot instead of chainloader you don't need to worry about blocklists or installing to partitions. It's also less likely to fail. [04:22] I know its a lot cleaner than chainloading, but the problem is I would need to manually run the menu.lst update command every time [04:22] Hello. I need to test something for a translation of xchat-gnome for Ubuntu; can some of you give me an address of an *invite only* channel under Freenode? [04:23] I want it to not require me to manually do anything to keep my bootloaders wworking once installed and ocnfigured [04:23] even after updates [04:23] Having to manually update menu.lst got old fast [04:23] Cyber_Akuma, multiboot is *not* what I was talking about when I said grub2 would add other OS's entries automatically. This is a way to load grub2 from grub legacy that is cleaner and more robust than chainloader. [04:24] Cyber_Akuma, If you really want to load grub2 from another grub then use "root=whatever; multiboot /boot/grub/core.img" [04:24] Cyber_Akuma, Or "root whatever; kernel /boot/grub/core.img" in grub legacy [04:24] What is the Chrome equivalent for Firefox's Ctrl-F? [04:24] by grub legacy do yo mean grub1? [04:24] Cyber_Akuma, Yes [04:24] message144, relink /etc/alternatives/x-window-manager to /usr/bin/metacity [04:24] amikrop: In my experience, it's STILL Ctrl-F. [04:24] Hmmm, im going to have to google this core.img [04:25] drizzt_, ok thanks [04:25] amikrop: I'm surprised that ctrl+f doesn't work in chrome. Have you tried it? [04:25] hey guys, im trying to compile a madwifi driver from sources for my eee pc 1000he and I am getting an error that I'm unsure of how to solve. here are the results of the make command http://paste.ubuntu.com/383438/ [04:25] cruncher, Are you sure you need to compile from source? [04:26] ardchoille: yes, it didn't work [04:26] never mind, I 'll try it again [04:26] thanks, anyway [04:26] jordan_u: i have tried to use the driver located in hardware drivers but it seems to give me alot of issues, mainly the wireless will not function after a suspend and the only solution is a full restart [04:27] cruncher, What version of Ubuntu? You shouldn't need restricted drivers for an atheros card in 9.10. [04:28] atheros is one of those good cards than can scan and sniff right? [04:28] is something wrong with us.archive.ubuntu.com? [04:28] jordan_u: im using 9.10 but i found the default drivers to be unsatisfactory, 5 feet from my router with no walls in between I can have conectivity ranging between 1 bar and 5 bars and download speeds ranging from nothing to 4 mb/s [04:29] irc 还能查 ip [04:29] cruncher, Try installing linux-backports-modules-wireless-karmic-generic [04:30] jordan_u: also under default drivers i get frequent drops in connection unreported by the network manager [04:30] seanbrystone: the mirrors are horribly slow right now because a large OOo update got pushed out [04:31] jordan_u i have that installed currently and am still having the same issues [04:31] rww, ah ok thanks [04:32] is there a program for Linux/Ubuntu that goes through your filesystem and removes all un-needed files and folders etc? I just uninstalled VMware Server and got a fair few messages like this ... [04:32] This program previously created the directory /var/log/vmware, and was about to remove it. Since there are files in that directory that this program did not create, it will not be removed. [04:33] zetheroo: computer janitor is supposed to do that. [04:33] zetheroo: i haven't used it though. [04:34] ok . [04:34] switch10: I think that is more for packages and not files and folders .. [04:35] hi, i have a question, if i want to install ubuntu on notebook dell machine.. i'll have anything problem? [04:35] zetheroo: Ubuntu tweak does that nicely. The latest version. [04:35] ARishi: again ... that is packages isn't it ... !? [04:36] mtx26: possibly, you might want to download a live cd first to see if all the hardware works. A life CD runs off the CD. If everything is okay you reboot and then do an install. [04:36] live cd that is [04:36] mtx26 http://www.linux-laptop.net/ [04:36] zetheroo: not only packages, uneeded preferences and old kernel files [04:36] zetheroo, Try fslint [04:37] ARishi: ok ... but did you see reason I am needing it for? ... [04:37] Jordan_U: ok ... [04:37] Jordan_U: in the repos? [04:38] zetheroo, Yes. === Blackcamaro8 is now known as [V13]Axel [04:38] i installed mindmap and gnuplot and ctioga and nothing is showing up in the gnome menu system [04:38] hi [04:38] chaslinux cool, i'll try install it like live cd.. thank you [04:39] I can't find any information by googling, is there a way to update an exsisting install of Ubuntu with grub1 to grub2? [04:39] zetheroo, Also, in general there shouldn't be much in /opt so cruft in there from Vmware should be easy to find. [04:40] Cyber_Akuma, Yes, sudo apt-get install grub-pc [04:40] !grub2 | Cyber_Akuma [04:40] Cyber_Akuma: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [04:40] Jordan_U: so I am thinking that I could manually track all the folders called vmware and safely delete them ... right? [04:41] zetheroo, Yes [04:41] ok [04:41] zetheroo, Just don't remove files with a script without confirmation :) [04:42] why is it that when I do "gksudo nautilus" in ALT+F2 that my wallpaper disappears? [04:42] hey guys! i have kismet in front of me and after hours of searching and the rest i was able to make it work.but i dont know if is indeed in monitor mode.i pressed "iwpriv wlan0" and says "no private ioctls" wgich means monitor yok-niente [04:42] thanks [04:42] zetheroo: run it with --no-desktop [04:42] Cyber_Akuma, np, make sure that you choose a device to install to when prompted during the upgrade. [04:43] blakkheim: oh ok ... how do i get my wallpaper back without re-loging in? === Anzenketh_ is now known as Anzenketh [04:43] zetheroo: try running nautilus as your user [04:43] Hmm..... [04:43] Damn, not sure what to install to them [04:43] then* [04:43] s [04:43] Since I want to chainload [04:43] blakkheim: hmmm ... still no wallpaper ... [04:43] if kismet is running means that i am capable of monitor mode?{hint network connection stopped} [04:44] zetheroo: sudo killall -9 nautilus, then try running it as user. if that doesn't work you have to logout [04:44] blakkheim: yeah .. ok ... guess I have to log out then .. :) [04:45] Cyber_Akuma, You can still chainload grub2, it's just that you can *also* multiboot grub2, which does almost exactly the same thing but is more reliable. [04:46] Cyber_Akuma, And doesn't require the bootloader to be installed to a partition. [04:46] Besides Shiki and Bisigi, are there any other theme packs that come packaged like these themes, where theyre more professional looking and very smooth and easy to install? [04:46] I've just switched away from TwinView and into dual X screens. I have a gnome bar on each monitor now. Can I configure the gnome panels to only start on my main monitor? I want nothing on DISPLAY=:0.1 that I haven't voluntarly sent there.. [04:48] Roasted: you can open a terminal and try: apt-cache search gnome | grep theme [04:48] Roasted: this also yields some hits: apt-cache search gtk | grep theme [04:49] ardchoille, whats that do? [04:49] Roasted: it searches the sources and filters by the grepped word [04:49] Jordan_U: I don't understand [04:49] ardchoille, well, I was just curious if there were any other theme packs out there people would suggest. Shiki and Bisigi packages came highly recommended. I was just curious if there were any more worthwhile checking out. [04:49] What do you mean multiboot grub? [04:50] Roasted: yeah, those two packs are beautiful [04:50] hi, in a moment of insanity (please don't ask...) I did the following in a live session "sudo chown -R ubuntu so now my ~ is owned by ubuntu. Any advice how to fix this? I'm back in a live session. Perhaps I can do "sudo adduser james" and then just chown back to james? [04:50] Roasted: search www.gnome-look.org for elementary [04:50] ardchoille, I already have elementary. [04:51] sexcopter: Boot to the recovery console (rescue kernel at GRUB) and then chown it back [04:51] Cyber_Akuma, Just replace "root ; chainloader +1" with "root ; multiboot /boot/grub/core.img" [04:51] ardchoille, I love elementary, but the top panel text was kind of light, and I dont know how to change it. [04:51] I'd prefer it jet black. [04:51] Flannel: thanks, I'll do that. So everything in /home/james should belong to james? [04:51] sexcopter: yes, james:james [04:51] where is the script that gdm calls to startup gnome, etc? [04:51] Flannel: thank you! [04:51] Cyber_Akuma, Sorry, "root ; kernel /boot/grub/core.img" for an entry in grub legacy [04:52] Jordan_U: Only the Windows partition right now has chainload +1, the others just have a kernel listed, problem is the different operating systems can't talk to each other === shubbar_ is now known as shubbar [04:52] anyone about kismet? [04:52] Jordan_U: So if one updates it's kernnel, it won't be able to update menu.lst to reflect that change [04:54] Djungelkraem [04:54] hi everyone. I have a problem with sound in my Ubuntu 9.10. I'm using a hp dv2000 laptop, and when I plug the headphones the sounds comes out from then but still continues playing on speakers. Does anyone knows how can I configure to mute the speakers when I plug the headphones? [04:54] djungelmums [04:55] djungelkraem [04:55] dav_: /init.d/gdm [04:55] djungelkraem [04:55] how can i play a DVD? it is asking me for a plug in to play in Movie Player [04:56] hm [04:56] usr13: pretty sure that's the script that starts gdm, not gnome. [04:56] Cyber_Akuma, For the grub legacy systems add an entry like "root configfile /boot/grub/menu.lst" for the grub2 system add an entry like "root multiboot /boot/grub/core.img" [04:56] <[V13]Axel> Why won't CTRL+ALT+Backspace restart X? >_< [04:56] ! dontzap [04:56] To re-enable the Ctrl-Alt-Backspace combination that restarts your X server see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/DontZap [04:56] DJ_HaMsTa, what's your version? [04:56] dav_: I thought that's what you asked... [04:57] ! dvd | DJ_HaMsTa [04:57] DJ_HaMsTa: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [04:57] Cyber_Akuma, I'm also working on a grub2 script that would search all drives for menu.lst and grub.cfg files, offering the user a menu to choose which to load, as part of super grub disk. [04:57] usr13: nope, but thanks :) [04:57] ! dvd | DJ_HaMsTa [04:57] DJ_HaMsTa, please see my private message [04:58] i am in ubuntu 9.10 and its totem movie player 2.28.2 [04:58] dav_: gdm is the GNOME Display Manager [04:59] Jordan_U: But how would that work in an os that uses grub1? Thats my main problem, opensuse runs on grub1, so I can't just tellit ot update my menu.lst file [04:59] DJ_HaMsTa, did you try using vlc? Or maybe some dvd lib is missing. Try to install libdvdread4 via apt. [04:59] good idea, il try vlc [05:00] Cyber_Akuma, I've written a lua ( a scripting language that runs in the bootloader itself ) script that allows grub2 to load grub legacy menu.lst files. [05:01] when i used to click on the drives wchich comes in the menubar/places, the partition used to get muonted, but after making a new partition, now when i click on it, it says only root can mount it, is there any way i can make it like previous? [05:01] i am using ubuntu 9.10 === tt is now known as Guest33434 [05:02] Cyber_Akuma, So at boot ( running in grub itself ) the script would search all partitions, find the menu.lst file from opensuse, and add an option to load it in a new menu ( So first you would choose suse's menu, then from there you would choose a kernel from suse's menu ) [05:02] Jordan_U: so you mean grub itself will be able to update without using an os? [05:02] Cyber_Akuma, Yes [05:02] Jordan_U: Ah, that would work :) [05:03] is there a simple way to get a list of all manually-installed packages? (opposite of autoremove, ya know?) [05:03] Jordan_U: Though that means I would need to Install OpenSUSE's bootloader somewhere else right? [05:03] Cyber_Akuma, It's not really ready yet, and would currently be harder to initially setup than other options ( even though from there on it would just be automatic ) [05:03] somebody? [05:04] Jordan_U: Actually, I was more surprised to find out what youcan run scripts like that in grub itself [05:04] Cyber_Akuma, Yes, or not install it at all ( it should still update the menu.lst without grub installed to a partition / mbr ) [05:05] Jordan_U: Wait, so it will still create a /boot folder? [05:05] Cyber_Akuma, There are a lot of surprising things you can do with grub2 :) [05:05] Cyber_Akuma, Ubuntu does if you tell it not to install grub to any mbr, suse probably also does. [05:05] obscurant1st_: You probably need to make sure your user has permissions to whatever partition you created [05:06] Cyber_Akuma, If not then just tell it to install grub to a partition ( rather than the mbr ) and suse's grub will just never be loaded. [05:06] soreau, how can i add my user ? [05:06] My Ubuntu intall already has a boot partition, problem is I just need to run those commands to upgrade to grub2 XD [05:06] I am going ot nuke the windows and opensuse install to reinstall them, but I want to keep the ubuntu instal [05:07] hi everyone. I have a problem with sound in my Ubuntu 9.10. I'm using a hp dv2000 laptop, and when I plug the headphones the sounds comes out from then but still continues playing on speakers. Does anyone knows how can I configure to mute the speakers when I plug the headphones? [05:07] soreau, and btw i never used to create any folders in /media for mount a partition, but now when i try to mount it even as sudo, it says there is no folder like that === djungelkraem_ is now known as cdjungelkraem [05:07] Howdy...... if fdisk is unable to create a disk label on /dev/sda is the hard-drive kaput? === cdjungelkraem is now known as djungeltrumman [05:08] obscurant1st_: You can run the command as your normal user, sudo chown -R $USER /path/to/mount/point [05:08] Jordan_U: So, I should install windows, install openeuse, then update ubuntu, then try to setup grub? [05:08] bugaloo: I can't offer you a solution, but I can verify the problem. HP did a weird thing with the wiring, and the change has to be done by the card instead of the hard switch in the earphone jack. [05:08] no wait [05:08] I should probably update ueuntu and grub before opensus right? [05:09] dj_segfault, I dont think this is a hardware issue. It works on windows vista on the same laptop [05:09] anyone can help im trying to set a printer up all i get is this There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'client-error-not-authorized [05:09] Cyber_Akuma, Did you see my comment about my scripts not being ready yet? [05:09] fdisk --- how can I use fdisk to confirm whether this old Dell's HD is good or trash? [05:09] Jordan_U: yes I know, I meant just chainloading [05:10] Jordan_U: sorry for the confusion [05:10] igggimin, You wouldn't. Use System > Administration > Disk Utility instead [05:10] bugaloo: Yeah, because Windows knows about the problem and the Linux software doesn't. I don't remember if there's a way around it. === test is now known as Guest9312 [05:10] bugaloo restate the problem [05:11] dj_segfault, yeah... my hope is somone fixed the problem [05:11] What problem? [05:11] can anyone help im trying to set a printer up and all i get is this when i try to add There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'client-error-not-authorized [05:12] bugaloo's problem is that some HP laptops have sound cards with separate speaker and headphone output, so plugging in the headphones does not turn off the speakers. It has to be done in software. [05:12] rghfh [05:12] dj_segfault, found on forums that much people had the same issue with different laptops, and some of them solved, so I hope there is a solution for hp [05:12] ubuntu needs to keep openoffice up to date [05:12] bugaloo what was your problem [05:12] voss749: feel free to help make it happen [05:12] dj_segfault, yes, I know... but I think there is somehow to configure it on linux [05:12] Thanks Jordan - viewing now... many bad sectors :-( ............. how do I decide whether the disk is salvageable? or when do I say to hell with it and get a new drive? [05:13] voss749, hi everyone. I have a problem with sound in my Ubuntu 9.10. I'm using a hp dv2000 laptop, and when I plug the headphones the sounds comes out from then but still continues playing on speakers. Does anyone knows how can I configure to mute the speakers when I plug the headphones? [05:13] I tried to load module snd_hda_intel with the option "model=hp" or "model=laptop-hp" there are some options available, but still nothing [05:13] I'm not pretty sure the model options worked fine [05:13] gnea, the openoffice version is there , ubuntu doesnt package it until the next ubuntu version [05:14] on my old laptop I fixed the problem with the "model" option on modprobe, but it wasn't an HP laptop [05:14] bugaloo did you check your sound preferences [05:14] bugaloo: Have you checked alsamixergui to see if there's a separate mixer control for headphone and speakers? === djungelkraem is now known as djungeltrumma [05:14] voss749, I did... the problem is: there is only one channel... if I mute the speakers it mutes the headphones too [05:14] igggimin, What exactly is the smart status? === demonspork_ is now known as demonspork [05:15] bugaloo: This problem is quite popular. I fixed mine by muting my speakers manually. [05:15] ARishi, that's the problem... alsa has no a separated channel for speakers [05:15] hehehe ------ if SMART Data says: "DISK HAS MANY BAD SECTORS" Backup all data and replace the disk - is there any way to avoid replacing the disk :-D [05:15] bugaloo what model hp is this? [05:15] ??? [05:16] Cyber_Akuma, Can you clarify which solution you want to use? [05:16] voss749, dv2000 [05:16] igggimin, Not if you value your data [05:16] voss749: enjoy: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/02/how-to-install-openoffice-32-in-ubuntu.html [05:17] there's no data to save - I just installed this on a box some Mississippi guy sold my buddie for his daughter - Windows concealed the bad sectors, but Linux is freakin out [05:17] I just want to reinstall Ubuntu and can't even do that [05:17] hence, Fdisk, SMART, etc [05:17] bugaloo do you have gnome alsa mixer installed? [05:17] igggimin, Then the drive is toast [05:17] voss749, I do [05:17] lol [05:18] What does it show [05:18] smart utils on ubuntu will fix you bad sector issues [05:18] My personal experience is Dell+Hardware=Toast. Yes. [05:18] voss749, you mean what controls? [05:18] igggimin, If you want to have fun with it and help test but not get any practical use you can format it with btrfs with options to duplicate all data and metadata. [05:18] bug, try edit and sound card properties [05:19] voss749, I have the follow controls: Master, PCM, Digital, Ext mic, Int mic [05:19] and that's it [05:19] igggimin, Btrfs will constantly be recovering from damage until the last throws of the drive's pitiful life :) [05:20] that _does_ sound fun, heheh but I have to deliver the machine back to my pal for his 15-year-old [05:20] bugaloo: Those are the inputs. Look at the other tab for the outputs. [05:20] bugaloo on top of the mixer you should have a thing that says edit when you click on it it should say sound card properties [05:20] igggimin, Get a new drive then. [05:20] Jordan_U: no way to salvage this drive you think? could I somehow isolate bad sectors? [05:20] voss749, all options are marked [05:21] igggimin, If it's got that many bad sectors now there will be more, and when you get more that will mean data loss. [05:21] igggimin, The drive is also probably close to the point where it's going to give out entirely. [05:23] Jordan_U: agreed. I just wanted to explore... If FDISK can't write to it and SMART says "many bad sectors", I'm gonna say it's toast [05:23] igggimin, I'm betting that the reason windows "didn't complain" was that it was installed before the drive was bad and the bad sectors were more likely to appear in recently written areas, i.e. not system files. === WindPower is now known as BrainPower === BrainPower is now known as WindPower [05:25] I'm having an issue installing the latest ubuntu. It only sees my raid 0 setup that doesn't exist anymore. Whats going on? [05:25] hey [05:26] can anyone help im trying to set a printer up and all i get is this when i try to add There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'client-error-not-authorized [05:26] bugaloo right click on the speaker is there an option for open volume control? [05:26] how to see a windows desktop from ubuntu ? i mean desktop sharing [05:26] itheos, rdesktop? [05:26] tightvnc? [05:26] itheos, Applications > Internet > Terminal Server Client [05:27] voss749, yes [05:27] rdesktop [05:27] ok let me try thanks [05:27] voss749, sound preferences? [05:27] bugaloo, click the switches tab [05:27] itheos, For vnc use Applications > Internet > Remote Desktop Viewer [05:27] makes sense Jordan - way to watch :-) [05:27] THX! [05:27] voss749, you mean right or left button? [05:28] bugaloo , right button on the speaker thing [05:28] voss749, only has a Mute and Preferences [05:28] is there a command line tool to trim audio files? [05:28] how to avoid asking password everytime i try to mount a partition? [05:29] could anyone please recommend a replacement browser on ubuntu 9? every time I turn around firefox is sucking up all kinds of resources, maxing out my system monitor [05:29] Mobius220, You could try opera [05:29] opera, chrome work well on 9.01 [05:29] 9.10 [05:29] chrome is good [05:29] I didn't think there was a chrome for linux yet [05:29] Mobius220: google chrome has gotten MUCH better [05:29] ... or lynx [05:30] i'm running it now. [05:30] bug go to preferences [05:30] Mobius220: I'm running it right now [05:30] remote desktop viewer asks for host??? [05:30] heh yeah there is always lynx.. I was hoping not to give up some of the web 2.0 stuff though [05:30] has anybody here every installed ubuntu and still boot windows afterwords? [05:30] do chrome/opera go through the repos, or would those be manual installs ? [05:30] ic3man- sure, several times [05:30] somebody? [05:31] Mobius220, like you completely wiped the partitions [05:31] Mobius220: I installed from Google's website [05:31] icman05, I have vista and ubuntu dual booted and I rarely go into vista [05:31] ic3man05- easiest way is to install windows first, then linux bootloader will pick it up [05:31] what should be the setings on windows pc? [05:31] itheos: host = the computer you're connecting to [05:31] Mobius220, I'm trying to but ubuntu isn't seeing my hard drives correctly [05:31] fdisk sees them fine though [05:31] orbframe, the name or ip? [05:31] ic3man- either way, I've done it from a fresh new drive, and I've added OS's later, as well [05:32] go with ip [05:32] I have no clue how to fix this... [05:32] obscurant1st: You can put an entry in /etc/fstab and add the user option. That should let users mount it [05:32] Most of the freezes I experience with ubuntu 9.10 may be attributed to the 2.6.31.x kernel [05:32] obscurant1st: if you erase the password in password and ecryption keys, it will never ask you for a password.... [05:32] ic3man- what's the current status? one of the two are installed, or neither, or what ? [05:32] git__, I've had some freezes with 9.10 what do you recommend? === kevdog_ is now known as kevdog [05:32] git, I thought they could be attributed to stuck floormats ;-) [05:33] ahaha that's funny stuff ^ [05:33] dj_segfault, ass the user option? [05:33] i'm testing 2.6.32.x and things are looking very good ... was able to compile php and its modules [05:33] johnjohn101, upgrading to 2.6.32.x [05:33] switch10, i dont want to avoid passwords for everything, i just need to avoid it while mounting drives, nice tip though [05:33] Mobius220, I had windows 7 RTM installed Raid 0 setup. I removed the raid setup from the bios and installed windows xp on the first harddrive and now i'm trying to install ubuntu on the second one. Ubuntu is still seeing the raid setup though. [05:33] obscurant1st: add not ass. Sorry it's late === sanjoy is now known as sanjoyd|away [05:34] git__, any instructions? [05:34] johnjohn101, http://ubuntu-ky.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8708228&postcount=38 [05:34] i just installed ubuntu and the sleep function does not seem to resume as it should [05:34] obscurant1st: man fstab [05:34] is it seeing an empty array, or a volume that no longer exists, or what ? [05:34] dj_segfault, ooops, ok, thx. [05:34] :D [05:35] johnjohn101, just download the three deb files pertaining to your 32-bit or 64-bit hardware [05:35] git__, i will try in the morning. headed to bed now [05:35] k [05:35] i bookedmarked the page [05:35] i may wait until 10.04 [05:35] Mobius220, only thing it sees is a /dev/mapper/nvidia_bahhfiff and 320GB of free space. (I don't have any nvidia hardware btw). [05:35] 9.10 been freezing for me ever since i had it installed, it's been over 4 weeks [05:36] The Toyota Camry, the drag racer for grandma ;-) [05:36] ic3man- you might try a livedisk first, either your same ubuntu, or maybe gparted livedisk, and see if your volumes look right [05:36] i believe 10.04 is TLS [05:36] git__: DMA? [05:36] should be more stable [05:36] frankS2, what is DMA? [05:36] git__: try enabling it, man hdparm [05:36] Mobius220, I have the install cd on a usb drive atm. fdisk looks fine [05:36] git__: you installed alpha, it's not stable yet === RAID is now known as Ranjan [05:37] you mean cfdisk ? [05:37] fdisk would be on DOS, and isn't nearly as powerful [05:37] anybody using monodevelop ?? [05:37] Mobius220, no "sudo fdisk -l" [05:37] I want to make an entry in grub 2 [05:37] git__: oh sirry misread [05:37] oh okay, never used that [05:37] is there some sort of auto detect thing I can run .. [05:37] I'm totaly lost [05:38] Mobius220, either way it seems like its holding information from a previous startup... [05:38] Mobius220, the installer that it [05:38] is** [05:38] 9.10 uses 2.6.31.x kernel ... that's the culprit I believe, when I rsynced 40GB of files to my 1TB USB drive, it froze. When I try to compile php and its modules, it froze. I have the newer kernel for 9.10, 2.6.32.x. No freeze compiling php and its modules. [05:38] dj_segfault, actually in my fstab there are no entries for these partitions,so what should i do? [05:38] I am acutally cloning a partition so in grub legacy I would just copy the entry in vim and change the partion nuber by one [05:39] hmm well even though you could write to your flash, I dont think the scripts are there to "save" that sort of thing.. I would still say check out gparted, and see if there's not some residual reason for the error [05:39] i'm going to try to rsync 40GB of files to my 1TB USB next on this new kernel ... getting excited. [05:39] as I'm just cloning to the next partion along on the same drive [05:39] how to view my friend's screen which has windows 7. and i use ubuntu? i can see my screen. but not his screen [05:39] or I have not installed ubuntu from USB, maybe there is something about that process that is different, and I wouldn't know what to tell you about that [05:40] itheos: use VNC [05:40] ^ VNC is great [05:40] hmm [05:40] i have vnc viewer. he should also have it installed? [05:40] /etc/grub.d/40_custom [05:40] itheos: the windows machine should run vnc server [05:41] itheos: not vnc viewer [05:41] you'll need the VNC server installed, in order to tap in remotely [05:41] ok thanks [05:41] but sometimes the packages come together [05:41] ok [05:41] itheos: http://www.realvnc.com/ [05:41] Ranjan, he has tightvnc. that would work fine? [05:42] Do you think that ChromeOS is a Linux system ? [05:42] itheos: ok..but it should be server and not viewer [05:42] ok thanks [05:42] Mobius220, I googled and I think a bios update might fix my problem :X [05:43] vnc is old tech ... it should die [05:43] splice is the future [05:43] Do you think that ChromeOS is a Linux system ? [05:43] hehe well that would be an easy fix, heck yeah try that [05:43] VNC should die? some of us say "if it aint broke..." [05:43] hehe [05:43] use it while it's working :) [05:43] git__, I use the pae kernel, do you think I could upgrade to that? [05:43] i give it 4 yrs [05:44] i am doing 'chmod 755 .' on some dirs and it's not taking effect. any thoughts? [05:44] git__, splice? [05:44] I need some help. My computer is weriddd. there is something wrong with x11. When i install programs it just comes up with like 100 issues. [05:44] what is pae, johnjohn101 ? [05:44] And firefox wont start lool [05:44] pae allows you to use 32 bit to access 4 or more GB memory [05:44] Physical Address Extension? [05:44] Jordan_U, splice from redhat ... it's open source, it's going to rival ICA and RDP [05:44] how do we sync WM6 to ubuntu [05:45] I want to setup my ubuntu laptop to receive voicemail messages for a small business startup. Does anyone have an extra google voice invite they would share? [05:45] johnjohn101, you can upgrade because it will create an extra entry in grub, can always use old kernel [05:45] gotcha [05:45] Hey all. Is there an easy way to backup movie dvds in avi format? I find dvd::rip very confusing. [05:45] so what makes this splice superior to vnc ? [05:45] Do you think that ChromeOS is a Linux system ?

[05:54] my fstab dont have anything about my partitions, but still its mounted when i click on the partitions names in computer:///, somebody?

[07:28] c_nick: thx for the help anyway [07:29] lydiakjennings1: An upgrade is never recommended you should always do a fresh installation [07:29] all the forums tell me to add a line to a file that isnt there [07:29] hey does anyone know how to get gnome-shell to load by default instead of the old gnome? [07:29] c_nick: i apologize, I did a fresh install; i just meant that in a previous version (Hardy) it was working fine [07:30] how would i be able to scroll on web pages? im unable to with the mouse wheel [07:30] lydiakjennings1: I do know that your swap partition needs to be at least as large as your amount of RAM === sidh_ZzZ is now known as sidh [07:30] http://pastebin.org/97000 [07:30] lydiakjennings1: did u do a fresh install where u tell ubuntu not to touch your home folder ?

[07:31] pneuma: usually ./configure && make && make install [07:31] i want sniff the yahoo messenger on it [07:31] !checkinstall | pneuma [07:31] pneuma: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running!

[07:31] plz answer my ask [07:31] c_nick: sorry my internet keeps disconecting [07:31] pneuma: but most of the time you won't have to compile [07:31] brjann: that may be the issue - I will have to look into my ram amount and then may have to reinstall so as not to waste space with a useless swap partition [07:32] xp_prg, Good! What was the issue? [07:32] omg [07:32] DJ_HaMsTa, if you have an Xorg file - verify it has [ Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" ] under InputDevice section [07:32] Hey i'm using gnome 3 and i want it to load as the default, anyone have an idea how to do this/.

[07:34] lydiakjennings1: System->Administration->System Monitor will show you how much memory your machine's got [07:34] is it the right platform to ask ubuntu netbook remix questions? [07:34] sabgenton: i think it should work .. grub2 updation will not remove anything just add new so it should work dont worru === chong23 is now known as sita1 [07:34] y* [07:35] surjya: there is a great website that is actually dedicated to the dell mini that lists compatible usb sticks; google dell mini ubuntu and you should see it in the first few [07:35] * c_nick keeps his fingers crossed [07:35] brjann: 2 gb [07:35] bullagrd: here on my laptop, with ubuntu 9.10,,but it si the daily update that ask me to update it [07:35] anyone know where chromium data is stored in /home ?

It still does not show the other ubuntu [07:35] lydiakjennings1: try googling your issue is unique never came across it which ubuntu are you using [07:35] if you build a install from source [07:35] how do you uninstall it [07:36] c_nick: karmic [07:36] stevr1it, you could try this in a terminal: ps -ef | grep open, and see what it gives you... [07:36] mgmuscari, ~/.config/chromium/ [07:36] stevr1it: What is your current OpenOffice version? [07:36] bullg [07:36] lydiakjennings1: yeah, that's likely your problem then. you don't have enough swap space to dump your RAM to disk for hibernation. [07:36] surjya, check out pendrivelinux.org. They do a lot of stuff with linux on usb drives. Not sure about netbook remix though. [07:36] i check [07:36] ZykoticK9: thanks [07:36] brjann: do you know if i can fix it w/o reinstalling?

[07:37] The steps mentioned there , I have already executed [07:37] ZykoticK9: meh... any idea how to install a theme downloaded from a website? [07:38] stevr1it, did you only get one line back? [07:38] !who | stevr1it [07:38] stevr1it: 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 :) [07:38] lydiakjennings1: I am not so sure but Hibernate should be there from default.. from the applet what happens when u click on hibernate [07:38] mgmuscari, i've always just installed using their site -- sorry man, good luck [07:38] http://paste.ubuntu.com/383511/ [07:38] it's not clear where in this path to throw the thing... [07:38] bullgard: http://paste.ubuntu.com/383511/ [07:38] ZykoticK9: yeah i'm just getting fed up with them only having like 80 total themes [07:38] lydiakjennings1: depends on how comfortable you are with resizing partitions, etc. [07:38] c_nick: i have not tried - what should happen, just so i know when i try [07:39] hi there [07:39] ah well [07:39] brjann: this was my first time doing it, but i have the basic process down [07:39] lydiakjennings1: maybe it will restart or shutdown or give an error message... if u did not try how do u know its not working ?! [07:39] how can you tell if a pkg is installed [07:39] via cmd line ? [07:39] stevr1it, who is docvert? A utility? [07:39] i don't know [07:40] maybe a convert [07:40] pneuma: apt-cache policy package [07:40] how to access the Accessories Places System from the terminal [07:40] всем привет!

I need help with SAMBA and how to share the user folders [07:40] lydiakjennings1: it's a bit different when the OS is already installed -- you usually have to boot using a livecd and a utility like gparted [07:40] stefano tty7 2010-02-25 04:30 (:0) [07:40] stefano pts/0 2010-02-25 08:23 (:0.0) [07:40] c_nick: i have it set to hibernate (and have had it set to suspend) when i close the lid, and it will not come back on, even after pushing a button or touching the touchpad, when i open the lid [07:41] lydiakjennings1: so for simplicity I would probably recommend a reinstall :) [07:41] brjann: i assume i can find gparted in synaptic? [07:41] stevr1it, that's about right... you need to figure out where "docvert" came from, you could kill the processes perhaps... [07:41] The Avahi service finds automatically online computers and printers in the LAN." After having found them where (in what file) does it store the names found? [07:41] I'm using Xvfb and it works fine, but all the time I get these warnings: FreeFontPath: FPE "/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc" refcount is 2, should be 1; fixing.

[07:41] lydiakjennings1: if you want gparted try sudo apt-get install gparted in terminal [07:42] lydiakjennings1: so it works but it hangs [07:42] one more question, i made a password for root [07:42] stevr1it, hold a sec... [07:42] how can i remove that passwd [07:42] SuspectZero: bad idea [07:42] lydiakjennings1: maybe some issue no idea [07:42] ardchoille, yep i was just trying something [07:42] but now i wanna get rid of that password [07:42] SuspectZero: I believe it's: sudo passwd -l [07:42] lydiakjennings1: yes, but you won't be able to resize a mounted filesystem. [07:43] !sudo [07:43] sudo is a command to run command-line ( see !cli ) programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [07:43] close [07:43] c_nick: thanks for the terminal prompt. and yeah, it just refuses to come back after opening the lid. i have been just restarting every time [07:43] ardchoille, kk thanks i'll try it [07:43] stevr1it, docvert is a web application, are you running a webserver? Maybe somewhere in FF? [07:43] how do i disable pulseaudio? [07:43] SuspectZero: wait [07:43] yep i know about sudo, like i said, i was just trying something [07:43] SuspectZero: seems there's a new way, from the wiki: sudo usermod -p '!' root [07:43] if I want to restrict user, what software should I use? [07:43] SuspectZero: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo#Re-disabling%20your%20root%20account [07:44] brjann: i was kind of afraid I would have to reinstall for this, but was just crossing my fingers someone would know a backdoor fix - you never know with the ubuntu community :) === sabgenton_ is now known as sabgenton [07:44] ah perfect [07:44] tyvm [07:44] yw [07:44] np [07:44] lydiakjennings1: no probs happy to help :) I was getting such a problem in Ubuntu Interprid but then by auto updating it went [07:44] no [07:45] stevr1it: http://paste.ubuntu.com/383511/ does not tell me you current OpenOffice version. On GNOME please click Applications > Office > OpenOffice Word Processor and read what number appears following Open [07:45] when i click on the drives listed in places from menu bar in ubuntu karmic, how does it getting mounted?, i mean there is nothing regarding this in fstab? [07:45] 3.1 [07:45] lydiakjennings1: actually, you could try booting from the karmic livecd. I think gparted is on there. [07:45] somebody pls tell me [07:45] stevr1it: http://paste.ubuntu.com/383511/ does not tell me you current OpenOffice version. On GNOME please click Applications > Office > OpenOffice Word Processor and read what number appears following OpenOffice in red letters.

[07:45] ardchoille: awesome, thanks [07:46] lydiakjennings1: but to think of it .. i installed Koala so... :D u never know if it went or was there [07:46] brjann: so if i boot from the livecd, how would I find gparted? or would it just be part of the install? [07:46] stevr1it: Version 3.1 is the Ubuntu 9.10 current version. You do not need upgrading. [07:47] lydiakjennings1: boot from the live cd, then go to System > Administration > GParted [07:47] c_nick: thanks again for the help [07:47] I'm using Xvfb and it works fine, but all the time I get these warnings: FreeFontPath: FPE "/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc" refcount is 2, should be 1; fixing.

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 :) [07:48] brjann: ahe, I think it was called that in Jaunty [07:48] lydiakjennings1: why u want gparted ? [07:48] and for gparted why do one need a live cd.. cant get from the repo directly ? :) [07:48] zykotick9 how do i get to the xorg file lol ? [07:48] i am sorry but i dont know this gparted problem ly is having.. [07:48] can someone furnish me some details [07:48] c_nick: because using gparted needs to be done on unmounted partitions [07:48] c_nick: can't resize a mounted partition [07:48] c_nick: it was a suggestion from brjann that i might be able to repartition [07:49] stevr1it: It probably asks you to update. And probably because some other DEB program package is not up-to-date. [07:49] c_nick: so if you're modifying your main install partition, you can't do it via gparted while logged in [07:49] oh ok so the partition is the current one lydiakjennings1 is on [07:49] nvm found it [07:49] /j #virtualbox [07:49] hmm [07:49] c_nick: i think so [07:49] lydiakjennings1: here's a walkthrough of a similar type of situation with gparted: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [07:49] Hi all. Yesterday I upgraded from Ubuntu 9.04 to 9.10. Now I have my FireFox lost all addons. Why? [07:50] bullgard> stevr1it: I haven't run this laptop for a few days...there was an OO update waiting for me also. [07:50] brjann: awesome. i am checking it out now [07:50] greezmunkey: Yes, _update_ but no upgrade. [07:50] ardchoille: brjann whats the issue with lydiakjennings1 [07:50] it is related to some dependencies http://paste.ubuntu.com/383516/ [07:50] lydiakjennings1: except you don't want to create any new partitions, just make one smaller and another larger. [07:51] lydiakjennings1: are you planning to reinstall [07:51] bullgard, Yup. [07:51] c_nick: her swap partition is too small for hibernation to work. 800 MB swap, 2 GB RAM. [07:51] c_nick: looks like resizing partitons [07:51] ok [07:51] Ah, yeah, need the livecd for that [07:51] lydiakjennings1: also, before any of this, back up important data ;) [07:51] testing [07:52] my screensaver is off and my power setting are disabled to switch off the screens [07:52] yet when i watch video [07:52] testing font color [07:52] got it [07:52] someone say my name please [07:52] If I open a terminal and hold Ctrl-n then every 5 seconds or so (random) the ctrl modifier won't take place and a couple plain n keystrokes will sneak through. Could it be that this is a software/driver problem, and not a hardware problem? I didn't experience any ctrl problems in Windows and this happens w/ both ctrl keys [07:52] it fades to black [07:52] olskolirc: hi [07:52] g'night [07:52] c_nick, brjann, ardchoille: thanks y'all [07:52] yw [07:52] i'll try this now [07:52] when i click on the drives listed in places from menu bar in ubuntu karmic, how does it getting mounted?, i mean there is nothing regarding this in fstab? [07:52] somebody pls tell me [07:52] brjann: so she only has to resize swap .. ah i never knew u required 2 GB for hibernation [07:52] lydiakjennings1: no problem. good luck! [07:52] What version of FireFox is on Ubuntu 9.10? [07:53] MegaHerz: 3.5 [07:53] c_nick: 3.5.8? Shiretoko? [07:53] or... [07:53] c_nick: you need as much swap as you have RAM; hibernation simply dumps the contents of RAM to the swap partition [07:53] hmm [07:53] MegaHerz: currently 3.5.8 with all updates [07:53] brjann: how much ram did she have ? [07:53] c_nick: 2 GB [07:53] ok so she needs a 2GB swap [07:54] ubuntu netbook release boot problems [07:54] * brjann nods [07:54] I am able to get the boot menu [07:54] so she will have to resize her swap from 800MB to 2GB [07:54] but not able to boot [07:54] Right, and making swap larher means making some other partition smaller [07:54] hmm i dont think that will hurt her home directory or root [07:54] cause swap is a separate partition [07:54] right [07:54] ardchoille: I'm confused with all those names - shiretoko, namaroko, etc... Has your version a name? [07:55] testing XChat [07:55] MegaHerz: whats the problem [07:55] btw, who comes up with a name like psychocats? that is awesome. thanks again and i am signing off now to try this craziness. :P [07:55] can anybody suggest what may be the problem? [07:55] c_nick: lost all addons after upgrade. And having 2 menu items in menu for FireFox [07:55] c_nick: and lost flash [07:55] MegaHerz: Nope, just sats "Firefox version 3.5.8" [07:55] ardchoille: ok, thanks [07:55] my screensaver is off and my power setting are disabled to switch off the screens [07:56] yet when i watch video [07:56] it fades to black [07:56] every few minutes [07:56] Can anybody help me on Ubuntu netbook Release? [07:56] why? [07:56] Blou_Aap: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:56] c_nick@nick-terminal:~$ firefox --version Mozilla Firefox 3.5.8, Copyright (c) 1998 - 2010 mozilla.org [07:56] anyone knows about fixing a bug on vmware using ubuntu 9.10? [07:56] stevr1it: My Italian is not good enough to understand all messages in your log. I still believe that some other packages need updating from which OpenOffice is depending. So please try clicking System > Administration > Update manager > Install updates. [07:56] Can anybody help me on Ubuntu netbook Release? [07:57] всем привет! [07:57] stevr1it: OO.o had a large update today [07:57] http://paste.ubuntu.com/383519/ [07:57] !ru | bal [07:57] bal: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [07:57] I am able to get the boot screen... but after selecting to install Its not working [07:57] MegaHerz: you can install addons if u remember.. i am not sure but if u copy the mozilla folder and then reinstall firefox then replace the the mozilla with your backedup mozilla folder i think it will have all ur previous setting in the new one.. but since u have already screwed up the prior suggestion would be the best for you [07:59] surjya: "its not working" is no exact description. Please give a more detailed description and preferably an error message. [07:59] anyone want to help me verify if my system has a unique bug? Open a terminal and hold down Ctrl-n for about 15 seconds. Did any n's show up? (meaning the ctrl modifier stopped working) [07:59] actually on boot screen it is asking to install or try ubuntu === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz [07:59] when i select install and press enter nothing happens [08:00] scottj: no Ns here [08:00] it does not show any error message also [08:00] surjya: does it show a blank scree with a mouse cursor [08:00] not [08:01] no.. it does not proceed to next screen [08:01] Ok, now having another problem with 9.10. I --purged firefoxes, removed menu items (as they were living there even after removing firefoxes), reinstalled firefox-3.5 but it is NOT in menu. Any ideas? [08:01] surjya: I understand your situation. I do not know how to help you. The best thing to do is to visit a friend and show him what happens with your computer in this situation. [08:01] surjya, check the installation source for any possible damages [08:01] update-menus does nothing [08:01] you can think like after i pressing enter it seems like .... it does not take effect [08:01] surjya: do one thing when u come to the boot screen and it says to install or try there press F4 and select "safe graphics option" and then try installing [08:01] I have downloaded it two times .... [08:02] ok [08:02] I will try it c_nick [08:02] MegaHerz: you can try and respawn your panel but that might kill tray applets: killall gnome-panel [08:02] i think tht will solve ur issue :) [08:02] ;) [08:03] somebody pls tell me, when i click on the drives listed in places from menu bar in ubuntu karmic, how does it getting mounted?, i mean there is nothing regarding this in fstab? [08:03] ardchoille: just tried. Menu still lacks of Firefox [08:03] MegaHerz: How did you install firefox? [08:03] ardchoille: apt-get install firefox-3.5 [08:03] MegaHerz: synaptic->firefox [08:04] MegaHerz: hmm.. may need to log out and back in, but I've never had to do that [08:04] or u should prefix=/usr not sure [08:04] obscurant1st: do you mean removable drives, like USB devices or cameras? [08:05] c_nick: shouldn't have to do that if installing from repos [08:05] MegaHerz: try firefox on the terminal [08:05] brjann, no my ntfs drives [08:05] ardchoille: ok [08:05] c_nick: works of course [08:05] c_nick: I wonder why it is not in menu [08:05] MegaHerz: you can add a menu item manually if you want [08:06] my screensaver is off and my power setting are disabled to switch off the screens [08:06] because its not installed in the default location [08:06] yet when i watch video [08:06] every few minutes [08:06] it fades to black [08:06] obscurant1st: ah, okay. that's most likely the work of udev [08:06] why? [08:06] ardchoille: yes, but this doesn't solve the problem of not-autoupdating menu after installing a package [08:06] brjann, udev? is there anyway i can configure it? like i do in fstab [08:06] MegaHerz: try apt-remove ff then install from synaptic n see [08:07] whts to lose here [08:07] MegaHerz: good point. But also not all packages set a menu item anyway [08:07] coz first of all it asks for password, then it mount my drives to some wierd numbers [08:07] ardchoille: firefox? Just checked under another user - FF is in its' menu [08:07] obscurant1st: yes, udev is controlled by a series of (admittedly cryptic) rules files [08:07] MegaHerz: this is getting.. weird [08:07] MegaHerz: do this [08:07] firefox --version [08:08] "The Avahi service finds automatically online computers and printers in the LAN."

[08:42] goose: what are you using for swap? A swap partition? [08:42] bullgard: in his opinion that was due to wromg installation of graphic driver [08:42] Noobpastry: yes [08:42] ardchoille, is that why I cannot customize my logon screen?

I cannot help you. [08:43] bullgard: and he asked me to remove some packages and restart after that it [08:43] Noobpastry: the only reason it bugs me is if my computer could be using the swap to increase performance, but isn't [08:43] something wrong with the java [08:43] bullgard: ok, [08:43] ardchoille, thanks.

[08:46] hi everybody How to resolve graphics driver conflict [08:46] Hello [08:46] brjann: but afaik my machine's performance could be better if it did, no? [08:46] goose: yeah, what brjann said and also check out the swap faq if you haven't [08:47] May i ask there a question about remote desctop in ubuntu? [08:47] goose: mymachine rarely uses swap at all andit's still quite fast and responsive [08:47] goose: not usually, no. when linux starts swapping, it means it's out of physical memory, and that's usually when the hard drive starts grinding and everything slows to a crawl. [08:47] ah, okay [08:47] thanks [08:48] goose: also if you can hibernate that means your swaps works, I think [08:48] brjann: That's the best explanation I've seen in years [08:48] goose: no problem :) [08:48] ardchoille: :) [08:49] anyone here know much about fixing grub2?

[08:56] brjann: what if i want to make it 777 for a certain user? [08:57] I think, cause of problem can be in XMing Build.

[09:00] brjann: i was thinking that but i was afraid it might mess up the LAMP from doing everything right [09:01] by default root owns everything and i only own my home directory [09:02] jasonmchristos: unfortunately, without getting really complicated, that's about all you can do. if the files are owned by root:www-data, you can't give permission to yourself without giving everyone else permissions too [09:02] brjann: if i give everyone permission will this include people browsing from the web?

So you could just provide your IP and the port and they can have there server connect to you (I think) [09:55] DJones I mean the channel where discuss games under win [09:55] link_36p: hmm...yeah...but I suppose we will have to deal with firewall and Nat then.. [09:55] Thank you nibbler. I do as followers: sudo rm -rf /home/xxx; sudo rm -rf /home/.ecryptfs; sudo apt-get remove ecryptfs-utils (now succeed); sudo apt-get remove cryptsetup; sudo reboot; [09:55] now it seems all cleanup. [09:55] Def: win? Wine? if its games under wine, you can look at #winehq [09:55] rags: actually just you will. So it can lift some of the tech. work from your client. [09:56] and userdel xxx now succeed as well. [09:56] assiss: ummm, you deleted *all* encryptfs? not only /home/.encryptfs/xxx ? [09:56] DJones *for Windows [09:56] yes. i do not need it . [09:56] assiss: ah, okay :) [09:56] and in /home/.encryptfs, there is only xxx . === idiot is now known as Guest71834 [09:56] I'm surprised...there is nothing like teamviewer or crossloop in linux? [09:57] Def: No idea about windows games, probably the best place to ask would be #freenode, they should be able to direct you to a channel if there is one [09:57] rags: vnc is [09:57] link_36p: but if the client is listening, so he will effectively be running a server right... [09:57] DJones ok [09:58] nibbler: But vnc needs to be configured at both ends...These are ppl who need tech support..they don't know much..I was thinking something like just install , run and I can view their screen [09:59] * alankila also killed ecryptfs just yesterday after identifying that it took some 5-10s to mount at first login [09:59] So there running linux? [09:59] annoying extra delay to cope with, and probably no good reason for it either. [09:59] What distro? [09:59] rags: what about X forwarding over ssh? [10:00] rags: you can preconfigure it, so that it connects to a remote server. user doubleclicks an item, and it show your their screen.... might be vnc has to be installed, not just run, cant remember [10:00] link_36p: yeah.. [10:00] link_36p: ubuntu ofcourse...:) [10:00] !info gdmsetup [10:00] Package gdmsetup does not exist in karmic [10:00] is there any problem if i create my swap on extended partition?

Version 2.28.1-0ubuntu2.1 (karmic), package size 656 kB, installed size 7280 kB [10:01] llutz, k, thx [10:01] rags: your could even write a shell script that checked if vnc was installed, and then launches the server to connect to your client. [10:01] brjann: Will try that...but again nat/firewall...but might be easier.. [10:01] as an non-ubunter, i was wondering how frequently does the packages get updated from the upstream? for example, i was quite surprised to see lftp version 3.7.8 in the latest jaunty repositories - it's more than a year old, many bugfixes and updates behind, and that's not even the last of the in 3.7.x versions? [10:02] or are you all living a year behind the world? [10:02] link_36p: Hmm..ok...sounds good...I'll try that [10:02] spicey: we don't usually get new versions once Ubuntu is released. We only get bug fixes and security updates === [SW]Dodge`oFF is now known as [SW]Dodge [10:03] spicey: your choices for a newer version are compiling, finding a PPA or waiting until the next release [10:04] rags: looks like one of the vnc forks has a plugin that does what you want: http://www.uvnc.com/addons/singleclick.html [10:04] Wow thats convienent. [10:04] brjann: Awesome! [10:05] link_36p: i know, i might have to try it out too :) [10:05] brjann: Lucky you :p [10:07] ardchoille, ok, then i'll suppose that lftp is a black sheep of a poor maintainer, as i don't see any reasons why wouldn't it receive the (essentially bugfix) versions up to 3.7.14 [10:08] hi [10:08] how can I disable my network manager to auto connect to wifi? [10:08] spicey: yes, that's one thing we must remember, we are at the mercy of the package maintainers [10:09] spicey: Though there's no problem with you compiling it and creating your own packages [10:10] hi acp_ edit your wireless connection and uncheck "Connect automatically" [10:11] crawler, sorry where do I do that in Network Manger? [10:11] acp_: in the wireless tab, highlight your connection and choose edit [10:12] crawler: got it thanks [10:12] acp_: welcome === sabgenton_ is now known as sabgenton [10:13] ardchoille, sure, but i guess that it's still a pity that one as a developer should remember to nag the maintainers at the most popular distribution, otherwise the users wouldn't receive the fixes at all and could live oblivious to the fact that their problems are long solved :) [10:14] spicey: you could become a package maintainer and help keep things up to daye :) [10:14] *date [10:14] anyone know any good alternatives to nautilus and dolphin for a file manager to be used with fluxbox? [10:15] justin22885: rox filer? gnome-commander? [10:15] id like something with about the same features as nautilus or dolphin [10:15] rox filer is an older, lighter, double pane style, isnt it? [10:17] another question, is epson lx-300 +II (dot mitrix printer) supported out of the box of ubuntu or do i need to compile driver for it? [10:17] justin22885: thunar is good, never used it with fluxbox though [10:18] thunar is xfces propietary, right? [10:18] ardchoille, not being an ubuntu user myself, that would be too messy, everybody should scratch his own itches first [10:18] Many light wm's use rox filer iirc [10:18] Hi [10:19] can anyone suggest me a tool like rrdtool [10:19] which i can use to store static and dynamic data [10:19] im also looking for taskbar options [10:19] on a timely fashion [10:19] justin22885: you mean a dock [10:19] yes [10:19] justin22885: also have seen PCMan File Manager? [10:20] I'll plan to use 8.04.4 lts, for billing and I need a printer that will print in batch so Im eyeing on espson lx-300, is 8.04 server supported that printer? or do you have printers to suggest, tnx [10:20] justin22885: perhaps you should consider lxde, if gnome and kde are off the table for some reason? [10:20] justin22885: There is awn (repos), simdock (repos) wbar and lots of others [10:20] justin22885: awn is excellent but requires compositing [10:20] i used lxde for a bit, so yeah i know of pcman [10:20] simdock and wbar do not require compositing [10:20] awn?

[10:22] pokoko222, ardchoille: eclipse has c++ mode. [10:22] ardchoille: eclipse? [10:22] Eclipse is good. [10:22] alankila: Ah, good to know, thank you [10:22] Netbeans? [10:22] You might want to try Anjuta. [10:23] Netbeans is not as good as Eclipse. [10:23] ok bitches thanks [10:23] eclipse does c++ with a plugin [10:23] acp_: Well hp has the whole http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/index.html going for it, that's why I like them [10:23] irgangla: Eclipse does _everything_ with plugins. [10:23] awn looks cool, but no taskbar for open windows [10:23] acp_: And there's a version of hplip in ubuntu, and new versions are simple to upgrade to as well [10:23] hateball: cool! thanks for the info [10:24] justin22885: awn has a plugin that comes with it for task manager )open windows) [10:24] sanjoyd: I know ...

The partitioner is saying I have to declare a root file system to continue. SHould I do so by making the mount point for the partition with Ubuntu on it as "/" ? [10:25] ectropy: I imagine it is really asking "where do you want to install this new linux" [10:26] thx [10:26] it just asks you to place the / mountpoint on some partition so it knows where. [10:27] how can i use the unused unpartitioned hard disk space? say , i have a hard disk of 120 GB , but while installing the OS , i created the partition of 25 GB .

It's not like I have an sensitive data on there - it's just that I really don't want to spend more time with this. Although I have enjoyed the time I've spent :) [10:30] it's now formatting the partition I chose for the install [10:30] ectropy: so you really don't want to spend time with linux, and yet you are in the process of installing a second linux?

[16:22] hiexpo: if its a dvd video iso file. You an test it in VLC. and burn it with whatever you want.

[19:09] histo, http://fmtyewtk.blogspot.com/2010/02/how-to-setup-chroot-on-vfat-filesystem.html [19:09] i did a writeup [19:09] JeffMcBiscuit: jsut rm -r .mozilla ? [19:09] Does the normal Ubuntu installer have no LVM option? [19:09] <94SAAJN40> ok lets say I have a wxruby script that I want all users be able to execute from a menu item, but i dont want them to be able to see the directory where the script is [19:09] ujjain: no idea didnt use it in years [19:10] 94SAAJN40: I would have thought you could have sudo chmod 000 the folder but make the script inside that folder executable by said user [19:10] !lvm | ujjain [19:10] ujjain: 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 [19:10] 94SAAJN40: what do you mean by "see the directory"? You mean list the contents? Or do you mean know what the path is? Or what exactly? [19:10] howto: install bibus 1.5.x on ubuntu 9.10 [19:10] which program does gnome use to execute an sh script that has a popup window on it? [19:10] <94SAAJN40> list the contents i want to avoid it [19:10] I am scared of losing Windows data. [19:10] justin22885: whatever the script's first line tells it to. [19:10] well on lxde it comes up as xmessage [19:11] 94SAAJN40: don't give them read permissions on the directory then [19:11] Could someone tell me how to backup my OpenPGP keys before doing a fresh install of Karmic? [19:11] macman_: if you run my script it will do the correct thing, yours will only work if you cd to the home folder [19:11] ujjain: why exactly do you need lvm? [19:11] Ujjain: you should have backups then [19:11] semioticrobotic: backup your ~/.gnupg/ [19:11] I already have 3 partitions and I can only create one more partition. [19:11] since the last network manager update I lost the wired connection. It tries to connect but still I get no connection at all. I'm on a work lan. [19:11] I already run Windows 7, and 2 other NTFS partition. [19:11] <94SAAJN40> can i just give them execute permissions without giving them read permisisions ans still have the sript be able to be executed? [19:11] and the Ubuntu installer only allows me to add 1 extra partition [19:11] 94SAAJN40: chmod 000 means that only root can view the contents of the dir [19:11] jrib: Is that all? [19:11] semioticrobotic: yep [19:12] #ubunturu [19:12] Guys did they resolve his annoying bug in HDA cards where u can only hear sound from 1 source only??? its bugging me to hell :( .. pulseaudio should die.. its making asudio on my system (laptop) a living hell.. i cannot open any music player/ vodeo player while im on youtube/ flash site with sound.. [19:12] ujjain: you need to make an extended partition instead of a primary. Then other partitions go inside of it. [19:12] I want 1 swap, 1 /boot ext4, 1 / ext4 [19:12] I can only create 1 extra partition with the Ubuntu installer. === boy is now known as Guest39668 [19:12] jrip: Well, that's much simpler than I thought. I don't need to "export" or anything with Ubuntu's built-in tool? [19:12] <94SAAJN40> JeffMcBiscuit: so then chmod 000 could be executed by others? and not listed by them? [19:12] I could pick logical and primary, not extended. [19:12] 94SAAJN40: no [19:13] JeffMcBiscuit: same error [19:13] <94SAAJN40> so then where should i store this script so that it can be executed by others than root but not be able to list or read it? [19:13] raj__, then purge pulseaudio, you don't really need it anyway..it's just a redundant sound server riding on top of alsa [19:13] 94SAAJN40: anywhere. Just don't give them read permissions on the directory [19:14] 94SAAJN40: you cannot, if user can execute it, they can read it [19:14] 94SAAJN40: no, I thought you want users to be able to execute a file but not read the directorys contents where the file is stored? [19:14] 94SAAJN40: maybe using ACLs, not sure [19:14] semioticrobotic: no, though that is probably an alternative [19:14] ujjain: gparted livecd... :) [19:14] can anyone help me mount a partition with full permisions? [19:14] 94SAAJN40: whats exactly is this about? doenst ruby save the byecode like python does? you could remove the cleartext sript then, if its just about not haveing them see the contents of the script [19:14] ryan_ddn: Other distro's can do this in the installer themselves, it's quite risky. [19:14] 94SAAJN40: chmod 000 blocks users from reading/writing/exectuing or even _viewing_ a directory and it's contents [19:14] Hello: I was wondering if anyone could quickly explain to me what does the "install release" menu item under "administration" used for in ubuntu karmic (or any other version for that matter)? [19:14] <94SAAJN40> ruby has no bytecode [19:14] mgolisch: my understanding is he doesn't want users to list directory contents where the script resides. Is that right 94SAAJN40 ? [19:15] ujjain: you can't have more than 4 primary partitions, if you have windows on the drive then part of ubuntu will need to exist inside an extended partition which you cannot create if you already have 4 parititions [19:15] JeffMcBiscuit: and 000 prevents contents of dir from being executed, so what should that help? [19:15] <94SAAJN40> yes i only want users to be able to execute the script but not able to list the directory where the script is [19:15] fccf: I have currently 3 Windows partitions and now installed Ubuntu on / ext4, that's the 4rd partition. [19:15] !fstab | oranosx ... read this stuff, we are not babysitters [19:15] oranosx ... read this stuff, we are not babysitters: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [19:15] 94SAAJN40: I've told you the solution twice now [19:16] fccl: I can reinstall Ubuntu if necessary, but other distro's dont require Gparted e..g. to use LVM, so why would Ubuntu. [19:16] jrib: I tried something like that earlier, but it did not transfer properly. I had to make a new key. For some reason, the private key did not transfer [19:16] fccf: Thanks, but there is no need for that sort of tone. [19:16] llutz: can you not set the dir to 000 and then make _a_specific_file_ exectuable by a group/user [19:16] semioticrobotic: well test it then :) [19:16] semioticrobotic: (it does work though) [19:16] blueKaj-laptop: i really dont wanna lose my volume controls and my fancy apps .. i have alot of things that reply on pulse audio.... :S it really sucks that asound is no longer an option.. they sould bring back asound.... !!! i love asound in ubuntu 9.04 [19:16] JeffMcBiscuit: you won't have acess to anything inside the 000-dir === ando_ is now known as Getter [19:16] JeffMcBiscuit: you need the directory to be executable [19:16] ujjain: then you are extremly limited in what you can do... put /boot on a primary copy non-bootable windows drives to extended to free up the other space for primary parititions [19:16] Hello: I was wondering if anyone could quickly explain to me what does the "install release" menu item under "administration" used for in ubuntu karmic (or any other version for that matter)? [19:16] bluesKaj-laptop: i really dont wanna lose my volume controls and my fancy apps .. i have alot of things that reply on pulse audio.... :S it really sucks that asound is no longer an option.. they sould bring back asound.... !!! i love asound in ubuntu 9.04 [19:17] jrib: shit. [19:17] jrib: Well, I'll see what happens. Thanks. [19:17] fccf: LVM would solve this? [19:17] JeffMcBiscuit: 000 means no read, no write, no access for anyone [19:17] llutz: but root [19:17] but root [19:17] raj__,then try jack, check it out [19:17] well, forget that idea then 94******** [19:17] root isn't anyone :) [19:18] root is lord of the ring [19:18] ujjain: unlikely, as you already have windows paritions on the drive, LVM is for using multiple drives as one (i.e. JBOD - Just a bunch of drives) [19:18] what smart D1200P always not responding modem for ubuntu 9.10 ???? [19:18] <94SAAJN40> jrib: right so then from which directory should i store it so that it can't be executed by non admin users? [19:18] fccf: And creating partitions over LVM space, so I would not have this problem. [19:19] hai [19:19] 94SAAJN40: (again) any directory. Just don't give the users read permissions on the directory [19:19] mgolisch: cant get it :( [19:19] 94SAAJN40: can't you just use permissions and groups to choose who you want to access and execute it?! [19:19] <94SAAJN40> jrib: ok great THANKS A LOT :-) [19:19] can i create a symbolic link for a directory? [19:19] i have been experimenting with jack. so far its not doing so well on the HDA card.. its not giving application priorities in a right way. say you have two apps open.. one will play while the other will play with skipping and scratching noises .. i have no idea why jack does that.. [19:19] <94SAAJN40> JeffMcBiscuit: right i will try that out and come back, THANKS A LOT !!:-) [19:20] ahoj cz [19:20] ujjain: I think you are a little confused, LVM won't solve your problem ... reccommend creating a new partition NTFS on an extended partition prior to installing ubuntu ... copy non-bootable windows data to the extended partition, freeing up space for 2(minimum) primary partitions for linux [19:20] flamsmark: yes. right click the dir and select Make Link [19:20] jak je [19:20] jrib: that won't work either [19:20] llutz: why not? [19:20] sudo [19:20] thanks, JeffMcBiscuit [19:20] jrib: i would have expected it to work, but it doesn't (here) [19:21] llutz: it does, can you pastebin what you did? [19:21] avemaria: hm, its not that hard usualy, i can try to guide you through that if you want [19:21] I need help. I've lost the wired connection after the latest NM update. How can I getb it back? [19:22] brunoscunha: sudo ifup eth0 [19:22] avemaria: unless you didnt do much with that ubuntu install yet, then a reinstall would probably be easier [19:22] jrib: "sudo chmod -r /usr/local/bin" and my user still can execute scripts from there AND list them (cat $(which script)) [19:22] ola [19:22] amigos vengo en son de paz [19:22] olaaaaa [19:22] !es | maria6A [19:22] ola [19:22] maria6A: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

I am running vanilla 2.6.33 and for some reason the NVIDIA driver install exists with "unable to find kernel version included in ..." etc. This has never happened before. As I configured and built from source, this error shouldn't be happening. Has this happened to anyone else? [19:34] rrto: if you built the nvidia driver from source, assuming the opensource version, you also need to compile the nvidia module into the kernel.

[20:05] hi there.could you suggest me an application like moviemaker? i want for example to make a video of a split screen in two [20:05] Could I remove all but the requiered packages, leaving just the bare requirments? [20:05] Please help [20:05] fccf: any thoughts?

The problem here is that I always have both cpus 100% because of the crazy udevd --daemon. Any idea? [20:07] kaji: yes, I have noticed [20:07] I have a Dell Mini 10v netbook that obviously requires 32bit install. But Im wondering if I should bother installing the 64bit version on my desktop quad-core machine or just stick with the same 32bit disc? [20:07] kaji: I have ubuntu on an older lifebook ... are you using the fujitsu-laptop module at boottime on your grub line ... this might fix something... however I don't know if the touchscreen will come up ... worth a try? [20:08] brunoscunha: does it have a wireless connection? [20:08] Linuxguy2009: how much ram do you have? [20:08] ciao [20:08] ActionParsnip: 2GB on both systems. [20:08] lista! [20:09] LinuxGuy2009: stick with 32 bit [20:09] K thanks guys. [20:09] fccf: I have no idea, but i'm probably not, it's a fresh install. Walk me through it? [20:09] Is drive sharing possible in rdesktop? [20:09] Linuxguy2009: then both are fine. If you do lots of data transforming, 64bit will help [20:09] fccf: well right know i'm using vodafone wireless. But connecting to a wireless network i'm sure. I'm still at work and don't have any available wireless networks [20:09] explosion [20:09] sorry for crosspost, but... i'm trying to run lucid in a chroot, and i'm having a weird problem — sudo is saying "can't open /etc/sudoers: Permission denied", but the permission is 0440 root:root. i tried running strace sudo but didn't see any clues. any ideas? [20:09] 64bit is awesome! [20:09] why [20:09] fccf: I mean I'm not sure [20:09] ActionParsnip: data transforming? You mean like media encoding music and video etc? [20:09] Pure, yes [20:10] Linuxguy2009: exactly, and video stuff [20:10] I think rdesktop would do the job nicely [20:10] Aliendk: why is it awesome [20:10] Would ubuntu be the best descision if I need a thin OS? [20:11] ActionParsnip: I do actually use HandBrake to encode my DVDs. But Im not sure, does the application have to be made in a certain way to take advantage of that? [20:11] @b3b456de_ thanks :) [20:11] !lucid | Refried_ [20:11] Refried_: 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 [20:11] Pure: puppy or ubuntu+lxde are good for thin and fast [20:11] lxde?

[20:12] does anyone know the virtualbox channel? [20:12] fccf: the only useful post I could find about the touchscreen was - http://tinyurl.com/yzggudf (and I don't know how to do the fujitsu laptop module) [20:12] sj4m35-15: #vbox [20:12] ActionParsnip: Ok thanks. [20:12] fccf: no it'snot [20:12] Pure: its a slim and fast de, I use it instead of gnome [20:12] is there an ubuntu support channel for sysadmins? [20:12] hola [20:12] ActionParsnip, screenshot?

Right now I'm thinking I'll have to patch individual udeb sources and rebuild them. [20:13] Hap1k: use the web there are lots, there's lubuntu on the way which uses lxde by default [20:13] ActionParsnip, I was planning on having no GUI, just booting straight to rdesktop [20:13] Hap1k: ulite advise it too [20:14] ktx [20:14] thanks [20:14] Pure could use puppy then or xpud for FAST boot but is harded to config and has few drivers [20:15] Pure or could use chromOS when it arrives [20:15] ChromeOS* [20:15] ActionParsnip, that has TS? [20:15] Pure: think so [20:15] Pure: ask jeeves ;) [20:15] How can I re-install WUBI ? I already have Ubuntu install on a separate partition. But Windows loader took over after Windows re-install. [20:16] guntbert, I'll give it a shot here... I've installed 9.10 on to a separate disk than the one I use for my usual OS, as I am planning to migrate my desktop to ubuntu. When ubnutu shows its booting drive as /dev/sdb. When I feel things are set, I will remove the old drive and put the ubntu drive in its place (both are sata). However, I expect that grub will be confused because of the changes in matching drive UUIDs to /dev/ [20:16] Romeo: cpould copy the image file out and install wubi, then replace the initial image with your own [20:16] kaji: I asked the question of SABDFL recently about touchscreens and he told me he hadn't thought about it, and should have... Ubuntu is a little behind on linux drivers for touchscreens I wish I could help further, that post isn't in english so it doesnt help, except the last section shows the xorg.conf info for the driver, yet the driver needs compiling to work on that laptop ... we are getting there, but alas you will be pointing at your mouse for a whi [20:17] oh wait... [20:17] this shouldnt matter [20:17] okay that makes sense :) === Entityreborn is now known as EntityReborn [20:17] Romeo: I don't use wubi but it makes sense [20:17] thanks ActionParsnip :) [20:17] I know I'm not supposed to ask here, but could I use Arch? [20:17] mod: that looks like it is a little too complicated for me to think through right now - please ask the channel [20:17] nevermind :) [20:18] Pure: you could [20:18] Would that be thinner? [20:18] hi all, am having errors during installation. error ubi-language, timezone and partitioning [20:18] Pure: try a few distros. See which you like [20:18] hello [20:19] Pure: could try featherlinux or dsl or puppy for lightness [20:19] fccf: that post was completely in eng [20:19] I'll have to ask if I can play with a lappy at school tomorrow. Can't at home [20:19] i have a question about GLX support [20:19] J0nr: did you md5 test your iso? Did you verify the cd? [20:19] fccf: unless Isent the wrong one :< [20:19] Literaly, all they're going to be used for is TS === yofel_ is now known as yofel [20:20] can anyone help me with GLX please? [20:20] Pure: there may be a distro which only gives a ts client. There's mamux which boots straight to mame so makes sense [20:21] ActionParsnip: No, its a live USB stick too, if that matters. How do I MD5 check? Is that part of the menu options when booting the live menu? [20:21] kaji: see here https://launchpad.net/~fujitouch/+archive/ppa [20:21] !md5 | j0nr [20:21] j0nr: 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 [20:21] I need it to be able to use wifi and such [20:21] J0nr: the usb has a usb checker too.

We have some music software that uses external USB sound cards [20:22] ActionParsnip, I know [20:22] Pure: whats TS [20:23] Debian is always the answer. [20:23] frankS2, Terminal Services [20:23] I'm thinking of Arch [20:23] fccf: you are a god, i'll try that, thanks [20:23] Pure: try a few is all I can say [20:23] anyone? i really want GLX to work [20:23] !anyone | nico__ [20:23] nico__: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."

It checks out ok [20:25] plis si esto es español decirlo [20:25] i'm trying to get GLX working, but now i get a message about the GLX extension that's missing, for example, i cant run glxgears any more [20:25] ActionParsnip, I'm just a clueful Debian fanboy who appreciates the value of Ubuntu. No need to convince me of its shortcomings. [20:25] the problem started right after installing the nvidia driver [20:25] ?¿?¿?? [20:25] ?¿?¿?? [20:25] ?¿?¿?? [20:25] frankS2, remote desktop [20:25] it's a nvidia gforce 2 TI [20:25] Red_hamsterx: they all have them :) [20:25] What directory is a good place to install shared applications? [20:26] oh, i'm running ubuntu 9.10 [20:26] hi all [20:26] Ultraparadigm: anywher but /proc or /dev [20:27] Ultraparadigm: I use /opt personally. There is no good place really [20:27] ok thanks. I'll use /usr/local [20:27] ultraparadigm: it's all a matter of opinion, really, i like /usr/local/share for unusual things [20:27] then i just chmod that directory in particular [20:27] so you don't need admin priveleges [20:27] Nico_: does: gksudo jockey-gtk not offer a driver? [20:28] Nico: kdesu jockey-kde ,if you use kde [20:28] cool, thanks. I'm installing songbird. it's just an archive with a directory structure in it. I'll drop it in /usr/local/share [20:28] i use gnome, it's looking for drivers [20:28] nope, still no driver [20:29] what is a good password keeper app for ubuntu [20:29] i installed the right driver from the nvidia website [20:29] Zroysch: your mind :) [20:30] i'm sure i've got the right driver for my nvidia geforce 2 TI [20:30] ActionParsnip: good one. [20:30] Nico_: you don't need to do that. If your card is supported by the 195 driver you can add the nvidia ppa and install the packages that way [20:30] ActionParsnip: try remembering 100 logins and passwords [20:30] is Lucid Lynx pretty stable? Or should i take an older version? [20:30] Zroysch: passwords for what? [20:30] ActionParsnip: its for work.

[20:32] libnotify? [20:32] Nico_: websearch and you will find [20:32] I have ubuntu on my pendrive as an ISO, so I might try that first [20:32] It comes withrdesktop? [20:32] Jcrawford: if you remove libnotify they will ALL go [20:33] hello all [20:33] ActionParsnip, i get annoyed when IM tells me who is online etc. [20:33] that's what most of my notifications are [20:33] hi. in init scripts, start-stop-daemon check if such daemon already exists. how do i start the second instance of the same daemon, if i need to? [20:33] i would love some help. i have 2 problems. my xserver doesnt start, and i dont have internet. [20:33] Jcrawford: if you want to keep it but want to stop some apps you will need to configure the apps [20:33] hmmm [20:33] jcrawford, enter key is bad [20:33] i haven't found any quick way to overcome this [20:33] zroysch: the commandline tool is called "pwsafe" [20:33] Hello, I will dual boot ubuntu 9.10 and xp sp3.

[20:34] nico__: https://launchpad.net/~sevenmachines/+archive/nvidia is probably the one you want ... other option is using envy to install the appropriate driver from repo [20:35] Hi all, question: i keep getting logged out at random times using Karmic. I've found some stuff on Google saying it might be X or Compiz so I rolled back Compiz from unstable to stable but I still have the problem and don't know what to do about X [20:35] thanks found it :)\ [20:35] evan_luck: have you looked at your Xorg logs?

[20:35] Ultrapardigm: you can use: gksudo nautilus ,and copy it using your file manager [20:36] ultraparadigm, that will override it. [20:36] unixSnob: for a working setup: don't use alpha software except for testing - see also #ubuntu+1 [20:36] Nitsuga, first one [20:36] :-( ok don't want to do that then [20:36] evan_luck: /var/log/Xorg.log ... or use the logviewer ..

[20:37] Pure, it comes with desktop if the filename is ubuntu-desktop ;). The text-only install, but with desktop is ubuntu-alternate. And the non-desktop install is ubuntu-server [20:37] evan_luck: yes that is it [20:37] anyone? Linux partitions, logical, is that cool?

I've always used the packages. You could edit xorg.conf to tell your system to use vesa driver which will work [20:39] tar -z [20:39] hello [20:39] We have software that uses external sound cards [20:39] but it boils down to me adding some lines to sources.list right? at least that's what i did [20:39] Oasa: a .zip file?

[20:41] Pure, rdesktop can redirect folders, printers, sound, smart cards and serial ports. I dont know if USB is a part of serial ports [20:41] kaji: now look at your xorg.conf and see if it added the touch screen lines, if not add them from the link you gave me ... it is the last section on that forum post .. you might need libts-bin ... for the tscalibrate program,,, also restart X [20:41] sorry i did not read your question properly.

[20:51] on my desktop there is a kind of watermark or something that has the amd logo and says unsupported hardware, im using the propietary driver it showed but it still shows the mark [20:51] LucidGuy: that will ignore ping replies and try to guess the target's OS.. that's all :/ [20:52] Does the Ubuntu Netbook Remix work on the Acer Aspire One AO532H?

[21:11] linuxpoet, right click on a PDF or VCS file, click Properties, and click Open With tab. Select the program from there. [21:11] MilitantPotato: did what? [21:11] Traveler__: firewall would be a good idea, don't need av [21:11] Traveler__: no, firestarter is a good GUI for the built in firewall, ClamAV is a good antivirus [21:12] kaji: your xorg.conf is black, yea? [21:12] blakkheim: so the base system isn't full secure, right ? [21:12] blank** [21:12] MilitantPotato: it is non-existant. [21:12] MilitantPotato: kaji is trying to setup a touchscreen on a fujitsu ... I pointed him at the fujitouch ppa, ... hoping to get the right driver configured so his touch will work === madmax is now known as Guest16935 [21:12] Traveler__: it's pretty secure (assuming you have everything patched and updated) but a firewall is a good idea [21:12] fccf: he can generate a working xorg.conf by following the steps I posted [21:12] fccf: that would allow him to enter the driver config nessisary [21:13] blakkheim: firestarter? or something else? is hard to config? why isn't there any firewall preinstalled? [21:13] kaji: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop login, type sudo X -configure then type sudo mv /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf [21:13] Traveler__, no open ports so no need ofr one [21:13] Traveler__: there is a firewall preinstalled but it's not the best, i would recommend using iptables [21:13] need sound help. I have OSS, and was listening to music, when suddenly it got choppy, and continues to be choppy [21:13] Traveler__: by default though there are no open ports [21:13] Okies Top confirms that vlc is indeed still running it's the first thing I wannna kill. How do I use top to end a process? [21:14] kaji: then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start [21:14] Or use a hardware firewall :D [21:14] blakkheim: but iptable it's hard to setup :) [21:14] Traveler__, then use firestarter [21:14] Traveler__: um.. ok? [21:14] kaji: then you will have a working (existent) xorg.conf [21:15] Dougal: I don't think you do, use "pkill processname" or "kill processid" [21:15] Dougal: sudo killall vlc [21:15] Dougal: press k, then enter the pid and the signal [21:16] Er, anyone here willing to do me a screenshot favor?

[21:18] flamsmark: I looked at xemacs ... it actually uses X ... so cannot run in terminal ... emacs is from the 80's, I think you are confused... however you said headless boxes, well, if you did that you were running an X session over SSH i presume, which either way xemacs would come up in an Xwindow [21:18] yes [21:19] A very good evening Helpers, I was wondering what you guys use to rip the audio from an MP4 video? thanks [21:19] MilitantPotato: I had vlc playing a vido in ther terminal on F7, was working in the console terminals on F1/F2, when I switched back to the GUI the screen froze (vlc was in fullscreen) [21:19] Anyone willing to screenshot IEs 4 Linux on a default Ubuntu operating system?

The existing network manager (default) is disabled by wicd install.

Militant: would have been nice to know that would make my gui go away....I'm a total linux noob, sp I have basically no idea what to do, and what little knowledge I do have would probably only get me into trouble. [21:21] Was only hoping. Will find somewhere else. [21:21] MilitantPotato: I already did sudo shutdown -r, what would your version have done differently? [21:21] hi i'm trying to disable some ttys at boot time...looks like i need to be doing something in /etc/init/ but idk what file [21:21] kaji: if ya have a pen handy, jot down these commands ok? [21:21] We just got ourself a dedicated server for all our web design needs etc, but it comes with Plesk (we are of course free to install whatever we please) What kinda setup is possible out there, is Plesk really the best there is? any other guides, setups etc you can point me to? [21:21] MilitantPotato: whisper them to me, k? [21:21] hey all .. i have a flv file .. i want to extract the video and extract the audio seperate .. any ideas on how .. i have audiodemux but that is something tottally difret [21:21] flamsmark: glad you found what you needed, also good to know [21:22] Dougal: kill the xserver (GUI) and re-load it [21:22] kaji: 1 sec [21:22] macman_: avidemux should be able to pull that apart [21:23] MilitantPotato: oooh, that would have been interesting to try. Will keep it in mind for next time [21:23] daskog: there's always cpanel [21:24] i tought by getting a dedicated server we was freeing our self from constraints etc, but plesk now turns out to be a money hungry panel with features missing [21:24] Dougal: you can use restart also [21:24] hello [21:25] anyone know how to disable excess ttys using the config files in /etc/init ? [21:25] Dougal: instead of stop/start [21:25] does someone knows if lsusb is broken currently ? [21:25] i am not planning to start a web hosting firm just to have some freedom as to what i can install etc [21:25] where does Ubuntu server fit into all this? [21:25] daskog: what do you need a panel for anyway? [21:25] and how does one manage it easy [21:26] fccf hi again i've got the mp4 in avidemux but I can;t see a way of saving just the audio. sorry to be a pain [21:26] i am only used to cpanel, directadmin, plesk [21:26] daskog: learn the command line ;) [21:26] daskog: there's also phpmyadmin [21:26] i know so little of running things from the barebone [21:26] when i press w key on my keyboard i get number 3 (before that i didn`t even have any character on that key, but I installed zboard driver and know i get this) [21:26] daskog: ubuntu server, or any server distro is going to be optimized for speed [21:26] What i need is a good setup for controlling Django, php, ruby etc [21:26] ..it won't have xwindows [21:27] cli only [21:27] with out all the fuzzzzz [21:27] :P [21:27] daskog: ssh ftw [21:27] Markive: goto audio menu in avidemux ... Click Save [21:27] deploying web sites fast is crucial there i see plesk, cpanel etc shines at least for me, what ellse is there?

[21:34] xinshun: google shows octave and a few others [21:34] Can anyone help me out and tell my why my system claims 100% CPU usage on Core0 and 50-80% Core1 after installing an nVIDIA GeForce 5200FX? I've installed the restricted drivers for the card, and both the top and htop commands claim nothing is using that much CPU. I can definitely tell something is by the computer's performance.

[21:43] fccf perfect.. you are a star, i've added the audio you helped me rip to one of my youtube videos [21:43] shane2peru: typo [21:44] !ati | windows7jk [21:44] windows7jk: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [21:44] ikonia, setting up the firewall is only an example task.. i also want to manage my sharings of samba, or the subdomains of my webserver [21:44] need to upgrade drivers for x800 on karmic [21:44] indy_: i forget how to do that [21:44] ikonia, I figured, since I just logged on. :) [21:44] meganerd, by the way, there is no security problem, since the server only runs on a local trusted network [21:44] fccf: Great, now you're an accomplice... ;) [21:44] pw-toxic: web interfaces for that sort of thing is not a good idea, they are not stable, but that's your experience [21:44] slimjimflim: but one thing is that i made the share on the server readonly because my family use it and i don't want them to be able to delete [21:44] ikonia, stable in which sense? that the interface crashes or the whole server? [21:45] ikonia, the interface crashing would be no problem [21:45] pw-toxic: managing a server through a web interface [21:45] i'm trying to mimic what i used to have setup in Windows [21:45] pw-toxic: for me security is only part of it, the web interface is just too slow for me [21:45] genii: notice my screenname is unaffiliated ... GUILTY [21:45] ikonia, yes, but stable in which sense? do you mean that the server could crash by using a webinterface? [21:45] ok, is dell basically the only place that I can get a pre-installed linux netbook? besides of course system76 [21:45] Using bc.. doing sqrt(1) gives 1. Is there a way to make to floating pont or is it broken? [21:45] I'm trying to access a file over ssh, I'm getting contradictory information: "ls lyn*" as a command returns 'lynx.cfg' but when i try to open it, or even search for it directly with ls... it's not there. It seems not to exist except when I search with the wildcard [21:45] I would just buy an old Windows XP Notebook and install Ubuntu on it [21:45] meganerd, well, for me its a speed up, because i change things very seldom. So i cant remember all the commands, sincie i dont use them very often [21:45] shane2peru: eeepc? runs xandros linux [21:45] shane2peru: you could try to get one without windows and then install it yourself [21:46] pw-toxic: no, but web interfaces often hang/crash/fail leaving your machine in an unknown states, there are massive securit implications to giving your webserver full acess to your server [21:46] or go to some yard sales and buy a PC their [21:46] Dougal: ls -la lyn*, what does that show? [21:46] lfaraone, I have spent a long time reading there. It has helped. It,s the way apt-key, gpg, GnuPG all interact that is confusing. === d3xter is now known as eliteSchaf [21:46] blakkheim, I want my $ to count towards Linux, I don't want Microsoft getting a cut. [21:46] ikonia, well as i already said - the server runs only on a local network, where all participants can be trusted [21:46] fccf, eeepc (Asus) cut Linux, and said Microsoft is better. [21:46] pw-toxic: if you don't make many chances, just learn to run the server through the relevant tools [21:47] shane2peru: MS has already been paid by the OEM that installs windows, MS doesn't get your money when you buy the computer [21:47] pw-toxic: fair enough, I am just letting you know where I come from so you can evaluate my suggestions appropriately [21:47] Lostinspace_46: open /usr/bin/apt-key in a text editor :) [21:47] ikonia, one usecase: after a year, i have to set up a new subdomain. I dont remember how to do this, although i have alredy done this [21:47] Ok something is up [21:47] Big Beeping noise [21:47] pw-toxic: so research it when you need it, or make a note of it [21:47] blakkheim, that is good to know, but I would still like to "show' the retail company that Linux does have market share, little though it may be [21:47] ikonia, additionally, i want to set up a new SVN repository, but again, i cant remember all the steps ;( [21:48] Phew [21:48] shane2peru: they don't care if you don't buy it. if you want to tell them, tell them in person [21:48] pw-toxic: so research it and do it and make a note (web interfaces don't normally interface with svn either) [21:48] Damnit === ryu2 is now known as ryu [21:48] ikonia, we'll I am a System designer, and i my eyes, its very important, to make simple tasks simple ;) [21:48] lfaraone, Hmm, a new dir for me..heheh, I'll look there. Thanks. [21:48] pw-toxic: you're making it harder - but it's up to you what you do [21:48] ikonia, well i hope ebox gets fixed soon ;(( [21:48] salve [21:49] ok, back to original question, is dell the only one selling netbooks with Linux pre-installed? [21:49] !fhs > Lostinspace_46 [21:49] Lostinspace_46, please see my private message [21:49] how do I see if its 32 or 64 bits ?

[21:57] petrichor: yes, now you know what program is the buggy one. Maybe the gnome-do is merely indexing your system for files or something, I don't know if it's actually buggy, of course.

Would I just need to backup my /home/ directory and re-install, or is there another way?

You'll just need to re-install any additional programs you've been using. All your settings and files will be saved. [22:09] Blackcamaro8: if your /home is on a seperate partition then just reinstall without formatting /home.. otherwise backup and reinstall.

My problem is that upon installing an nVIDIA GeForce 5200 FX, my CPU usage has been above 90% at ALL times, and no system monitor applications (top, htop, Gnome-Monitor, and the built-in) show anything using up more than about 45% total, even though CPU is shown as WAY too much.

[22:11] meganerd, thanks it works, but not for the subdomains of the domain ;( [22:11] Blackcamaro8: erh. [22:12] fromWinToLin: community-driven, official community support channels. Nothing to do with Canonical. [22:12] Blackcamaro8: when you installed the card.. was it a physical install of the card or mearly activating the drivers? [22:12] how do i make all connections go thru a proxy? [22:12] Scunizi: A physical install. I also activated the nVIDIA forceware restricted drivers. [22:12] pw-toxic: you have to enter each subdomain as well [22:12] Then this IRC channel will always remain, regardless of any decision by Canonical. [22:13] witam [22:13] Scunizi: Could it have something to do with the old drivers not being uninstalled? [22:13] Blackcamaro8: which version of the restricted drivers? [22:13] jest tu ktos kto moze pomoc [22:13] ? [22:13] meganerd, so i guess i have to set up a nameserver myself, so that this will work for all subdomains automatically?

[22:14] or does it mean when data comes into the hdd it is enrypted? [22:14] Scunizi: Yes, multiple times. I know it's nothing wrong witht he card as well, it works fine in Windows.

I tried that on a laptop for a while but actually removed it because it slowed down logins too much (for some unknown reason). [22:15] Back. Scunizi, are you against PMs? It'll be easier for me then.

[22:16] git__: so then don't use ext4 [22:16] Scunizi: Okay. PM me when you've returned. [22:16] it's recommended that people who have 9.10 update their kernel to 2.6.32.x [22:16] so anybody? [22:16] pero: /have you checked /etc/fstat for that device? [22:16] alankila, so i guess if ur not worried that laptop will be stolen i guess encrypting hdd wouldn't be a problem ^^ [22:16] Nerdtastic: This dosn't work [22:17] Nerdtastic: I burnt it on a slower rate, 3th CD, but still dont work [22:17] error [22:17] can not found [22:17] Younder you mean /etc/fstab no? [22:17] HOW TO INSTAL KDE FOR MY PINGU :d [22:18] q0_0p: well, security has a tradeoff. Encrypting your home means that if you forget your password you also lose the data in home directory. Not that I'm in the habit of forgetting passwords, but you have to weigh benefit against the cost. [22:18] lfaraone, Am I correct that "gpg --list.keys" only lists keys in ~/.gnupg/trustdb.gpg? [22:18] Lostinspace_46: yes/ [22:18] alankila: q0_0p: also encryption usually slows things down as well. [22:19] Lostinspace_46: unless you specify a different file, that is the default that is displayed [22:19] Deviance: does the CD work in the computer that burned it? [22:19] lfaraone, Ahh, that alone explains so much [22:19] olaf do a sudo apt-search kde whats shown [22:19] I could have run encryption experimentally but I couldn't tolerate the 5-10s pause at every login when the system paused for something. That's just probably badness in ecryptfs as implemented by ubuntu and nothing more.

Random832 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats contains an example of an apt: link [23:07] MidtownNewbie have you tried assigning the ips to addresses [23:07] in the hosts file [23:07] iceroot thank you anyway for your help thanks again [23:07] Gstar: I could try that, I guess. [23:07] I usually use Firefox but occasionally use Epiphany browser, which doesn't seem to support java, any clue on how to ammend this? [23:08] erUSUL: Have you got the server edition with Desktop on top or directly the Desktop edition? [23:08] alzamabar: down to 887 MiB [23:08] BlackBinary; does apturl already show up in the box of things to choose what to open it with, by chance? [23:08] how to stop keyboard layout changing after restart? [23:08] alzamabar: desktop edition [23:08] Простите есть русские каналы? [23:08] BlackDalek: try this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptURL#Firefox%203 [23:08] erUSUL: Right, I've got the server edition with Desktop on top. I guess there may be a difference there [23:08] Can anyone help me install python? [23:08] alzamabar: upgraded . banshee is also running gnome terminal irssi compiz etc... [23:08] Now I got another problem. The compiz cube works fine - i can press ctrl-alt-left/right to switch betweens desktops. But when I try ctr-alt-down to open up the cube as it says nothing happens. [23:08] manas: done (it's installed by default) [23:09] Gstar: putting an internal machine in /etc/hosts allows me to ping the machine by name [23:09] erUSUL: You lost me there. What do you mean?? [23:09] jrib: Where do i find it? [23:09] manas: what do you want to do with it? [23:09] glyuk_: #ubuntu-ru [23:09] play around [23:09] alzamabar: that is not a fresh install and that there are other apps running not just firefox [23:09] manas: open a terminal, type « python » [23:10] erUSUL: Which processor have you got? [23:10] is it possible to restart all runlevels to defaults? [23:10] jrib: I am learning and then i am gonna learn django and do some web development [23:10] alzamabar: athlon X2 [23:10] hey guys, im running python on ubuntu, when i try and execute a python script through apache it tries to download the .py file rather than run it [23:10] Nitsuga: sorry, yes I'm there.... it was ATI drivers fault! it was broken I guess, ideleted xorg.conf and rebooted and it went good! Thanks! [23:10] I've got an i5 [23:10] ive edited my .htaccess accordingly to no avail [23:10] and all proper octal permissions are set [23:10] erUSUL: I've got an i5 [23:10] can someone help? [23:10] alzamabar: lucky you [23:10] manas: go through the tutorial at http://docs.python.org it will introduce you to using the python shell (and making scripts) === Dante is now known as HTC [23:11] erUSUL: Maybe configuration combination + processor sucks mem [23:11] bimb000, great! [23:11] I am looking to share a folder in my home directory with another local user. Can someone help? I am running gnome [23:11] lenswipe: and you have a python module for apache (or cgi fastcgi set up for python) ?? [23:11] alzamabar: do not think so [23:11] erUSUL: i think so - lemme ask the python guy [23:11] erUSUL: gparted isn't working as it requires some GUI and only SSH access is available [23:12] Jrib: OK, Python 2.6.4 (r264:75706, Dec 7 2009, 18:45:15) [23:12] [GCC 4.4.1] on linux2 [23:12] Mark22: then use cfdisk or fdisk to create the partition. then mkfs.ext4 to format it [23:12] I got that after typing python [23:12] how to stop keyboard layout changing after restart? [23:12] manas: yes, you're in the python shell, go through the tutorial [23:13] erUSUL: yeah we got cgi [23:13] erUSUL: any other ideas? [23:13] erUSUL: Then something is wrong. I'm not even running any service at the moment [23:13] Okay.. It seems pulse audio is not doing its thing for me. Can I safely remove it? I just tried setting it up to fix sound issues, and it pretty much broke everything. [23:13] lenswipe: nope sorry [23:13] ok [23:13] * lenswipe smacks ubuntu [23:13] Then, how can you zoom out of the compiz 3d cube? [23:13] ok so lets try this...does anyone know if there is something I can add in add and remove programs...or possibly synaptic that will? enable me to get my pics off my blackberry [23:13] ok [23:14] thanks jrib [23:14] Gstar: ping [23:14] erUSUL: Aha! Now free -m gives: 3958 2280 1677 0 79 1116 [23:14] MidtownNewbie so what nameservers do you have in reolv.conf? [23:15] Peace. [23:15] erUSUL: I think the server is running some optimisations thus sucking memory [23:15] Mark22: you can use parted (without the g is a cli tool) too [23:16] Gstar: 10.33.100.133, 10.33.100.134, 182.9.200.183, 182.9.200.78. I think the latter two are for internet DNS, whereas the former two are for internal (intranet) DNS. [23:16] Do you know if there is a path that needs to be set, in order for FFADO, and other software to find my libs? FFADO installs to /usr/local/lib but ffado-dbus-server complains about not finding the lib. [23:16] (ubuntu 64bit) === [SW]Dodge is now known as [SW]Dodge`oFF [23:16] MidtownNewbie yeas the 10.XX.XX.XX are internal [23:16] Gstar: Okay, so, how come no lover [23:17] Gstar: Okay, so, how come no love [23:17] MidtownNewbie you need to add the entries for the ips to resolve to a name [23:17] Gstar: in /etc/hosts? [23:18] MidtownNewbie you can do that but you would need to enter every host file on every individual machine unless its a shared hosts file [23:18] Gstar: yes, that would be a royal pain [23:18] Has anyone here had success with video conferences using empathy over the msn protocal? [23:19] Gstar: there's no way that would be necessary... [23:19] MidtownNewbie so the best bet is to install bind9 and configure an internal dns [23:19] Gstar: bind9... hmm... [23:19] VCoolio, I don't follow the instructions on that page.. where is says to edit the about:config it says to add stuff, but I don't see any way to add a new line [23:19] erUSUL: looking in it now [23:19] * MidtownNewbie googles bind9 [23:20] quick question, what's the command to list attched unmounted devices [23:20] Can you go from the ubuntu with the neat Gnome interface into the terminal-only mode? [23:20] You know, no interface, black screen with command prompt [23:20] Gstar: does this mean I am installing a DNS server on my own machine? [23:21] MidtownNewbie no you will need to install it on the network server [23:21] lahmas: are you asking me? [23:21] lahmas, yes, type sudo stop gdm [23:21] Gstar: whoa, no can do -- not an admin [23:21] !cli | lahmas [23:21] lahmas: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal or type in it: man intro [23:21] lahmas, and sudo start gdm to start gnome again [23:22] lahmas, you can also switch to a fullscreen console with ctrl-alt F1-6 and go back to your gnome session with ctrl-alt-f7 [23:22] BlackDalek: rightclick [23:22] Thanks [23:22] Gstar: it's not just a matter of my machine not communicating properly (god knows what could be wrong) with the existing DNS servers? [23:22] god... intel graphics drivers are really.. really crap [23:22] Yet another keys problem. Any and all help will be appreciated. http://paste.ubuntu.com/384017/ [23:22] Gstar: background info, this is a network of a bunch of Windows PCs and Macs, all configured with just basic DHCP, i think [23:23] . [23:23] Gstar: as well as a bunch of Unix and Linux servers [23:23] MidtownNewbie most likely they dont have reoloution to a name configured [23:24] Gstar: if other machines on the network can DNS resolve to each other, then the DNS servers are working, right? [23:24] Hi [23:25] How can I kill the pulseaudio process? (It respawns every time) [23:25] MidtownNewbie yes but a ping wont resolve the name [23:25] if you say try to mount a share drive using the server name it will be able to locate it but not resolve it [23:25] !hi | kieren [23:25] kieren: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [23:25] Ok I get it! I have cooties!..I'll try again later when there are others here that can help... [23:26] candyban: sudo service pulseaudio stop ? [23:26] I've mounted my CD drive over NFS and I can see the AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS files but I can't seem to play the DVD [23:26] Gstar: not sure i agree with you. if i boot into windows and ping xyz_machine from there, no problem [23:27] but before I go ...can someone please tell me if they see me???? [23:27] CD Drive = DVD drive [23:27] VCoolio, it's not started as a service ... but a user process [23:27] kieren: what are you using to play the dvd? [23:27] cetandi i see you [23:27] estauffer...thanks...have a good one [23:27] VLC, mplayer and Totem [23:28] hello [23:28] MidtownNewbie and your Linux box cant? [23:28] Gstar: correct [23:28] can you use rsync to create bootable backups, if so, what flags to do so? [23:28] does it spit out an error of any kind? [23:28] i am trying to configure my printer "hp psc 1350 series" but it's only printing white pages, however when i print test page from the printer itself it works fine [23:28] how can i print from ubuntu? [23:28] I'm trying to remove pulseaudio.. I ran "sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio-*" and it seems to want to remove *a lot* of stuff, alot of which is kde. Is this supposed to be like this? [23:28] Gstar: when i boot into linux, like i said, i can only ping internet names and intranet IPs. can not ping intranet names [23:28] VLC doesn't [23:29] MidtownNewbie sounds like your not getting the settings from dhcp [23:29] Gstar: or settings from dhcp that aren't working properly [23:29] Totem can't seem to open a DVD as a directory (or I can't figure out how to) [23:29] IceDane: yes, a lot of things depend on pulse [23:29] Gstar: but basic settings *are* downloaded from the dhcp server, right? 'cause that seems like what is happening [23:29] IceDane: there is no real need to remove it [23:30] why is it that LAN transfers over a WRT54G are so slow? [23:30] meganerd: I see.. [23:30] how do I import the Gnome Bluetooth drivers into KDE wihout installing Gnome? [23:30] MidtownNewbie they are but is you networking on the linux box configured correctly [23:30] IceDane: I just disable it before I start jackd and the like [23:30] joeblob: how slow is slow === WindPower is now known as ZombindPower [23:31] Gstar: don't know. i mean, again, i can ping intranet machines by their IPs, so it must not be an issue of being on the wrong subnet or something [23:31] meganerd: I did a dist-upgrade and it seemed the the whole of my sound system was completely fucked. Only audio from one program at a time and "sound device in use" issues and shit [23:31] kieren: I'm looking... [23:31] hi [23:31] Can you theoretically kill all processes using sudo? I mean.. not a good idea to kill stuff associated with the kernel, is it? [23:31] I might just reinstall, meh [23:31] hi, its told at several places that if my screen resolution is not detected correctly i can do it in xorg.conf. But I do not have any xorg.conf. Where can I set the available screen resolutions? [23:31] how can i install autocad [23:31] meganerd: 700 KB/s [23:31] lahmas: yes. There are utilities that do this, it's part of the shutdown sequence. [23:32] joeblob: did you replace the firmware on the wrt? [23:32] K [23:32] meganerd: yes [23:32] lahmas, yes, you can kill anything but init (pid 1) [23:32] MidtownNewbie but editing the hosts file resolved them ok so for some reason you linux box is not getting the same info as thw windows machines [23:32] jj [23:32] kjkjl [23:33] lahmas, init doesn't react to ANY signal, even SIGSEGV [23:33] Gstar: as far as i know, the intranet dns servers are not manually configured in the Windows network config, whereas they do show up when Ubuntu NetworkManager generates /etc/resolv.conf [23:33] Does anyone know how to connect your ps3 controller to Ubuntu karmic through USB? [23:34] to be used in emulators etc... [23:35] Could someone help me with the "Find Network Printer" option? === pete_ is now known as Guest51742 [23:35] can't get my HP pavillion dv6000 to find the WiFi card? it's made by broadcom. i've installed the broadcom pacakges in the repo - but it DOESN't even show up in LSPCI ?? [23:36] joeblob: you have bridged an interface that requires traffic to flow accross the bus, which is limited to < ~10Mbit [23:36] MattMesa: what exactly is the problem? [23:36] MidtownNewbie whats in your resolv.conf again? [23:36] Gstar: can I pm you with the contents? [23:36] joeblob: take the wan port out of the bridge, you should be fine [23:36] MidtownNewbie yeah sure [23:37] Hrm having trouble finding the drivers for my printer [23:37] wtf is this http://tinyurl.com/ydmh38d [23:37] alguna alternativa de exchange para servidor de correos [23:37] Lexmark Z2420 [23:37] Random832: why bother with tinyurl in IRC? [23:37] oops not Random832 [23:38] can i add boot flag to existing ntfs drive without formattting? [23:38] MattMesa: can you find your printer here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrintersLexmark ? [23:38] how do I edit grub loader [23:39] scribawf: did yo install Windows and lost grub access? [23:39] darolu: no it's not on that list at ll [23:39] at all [23:40] MattMesa: then it's possible that your printer can't be configured in Ubuntu, if you see a similar model in the list you can try with its driver. [23:40] anyone tried installing OpenCV 2.0? Tried compiling from source and installilng from a PPA, but "import cv" from Python console fails [23:40] I actually found the linux drivers for it on lexmark's website but it's for RedHat package managers... can i use that? [23:40] sorry I'm new [23:41] MattMesa: You can also try going to Lexmark website and see if they have a Linux driver. [23:41] darolu: no, just need to swap some of the kernal around priority order [23:41] darolu: grud edit used to exist, but gone now [23:41] kieren: have you tried runing vlc from the terminal? It might give some feedback there [23:41] darolu: grub editor that is [23:41] MattMesa: OK then you can install it, download the RPM and install "alien", it is a program to convert rpm's to deb's [23:41] can't get my HP pavillion dv6000 to find the WiFi card? it's made by broadcom. i've installed the broadcom pacakges in the repo - but it DOESN't even show up in LSPCI ??

[23:45] tachikoma805: add it to your start up programs list (system - preferences) [23:45] I can start a program automatically when I login to the GUI, but I need to start a program at startup [23:45] MattMesa: use your main user password [23:45] I am and it's telling me its incorrect but I know that's not true [23:45] MattMesa: use "sudo" don't try to log in as root [23:45] well the installer is already running [23:46] Hmmm... what's the grub2 equivalent of the old '# defoptions=' in /boot/grub/menu.lst? [23:46] darolu: system_startup is just for starting programs AFTER I login. [23:46] ok exited the installer guess I'll try running it from terminal [23:46] I need it to start at boot [23:46] or am I missing something? [23:46] tachikoma805: no apps can start prior login, you can add modules to the kernel though [23:46] darolu: How do I run an "sh" file with sudo? [23:47] from the terminal? [23:47] oh.. how do I do that? Is that the same as a custom compiled version ? [23:47] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 refers to /etc/default/grub , but that file doesn't exist on my system [23:47] MattMesa: you need to convert the RPM to DEB, using alien: sudo alien --to-deb file.rpm [23:47] hi guys [23:47] sudo ./ [23:47] MattMesa: sudo sh ./yourfile.sh [23:48] ryanakca: what are you trying to do? do a reset to defaults? [23:48] i've got a problem with my sound card, it defaults the hdmi audio output instead of the rca one [23:48] any ideas on how can I change it to the RCA one? [23:48] Typos_King: No, I'm trying to pass some framebuffer options. [23:48] tachikoma805: you just need to copy the module to /lib/modules// modprobe automatically adds them [23:49] mirc supports kana? ???! [23:49] kieren: so do you get anything in the terminal? [23:49] is there a better way to do network cloning of hd's than dd over ssh? [23:49] Hello all. I'm running a home server, and was wondering, LVM or normal partitions? [23:49] someone knows how install windows 7 in a pen drive using ubuntu? [23:49] Yeah [23:49] ryanakca: ..... the file that'd hold what the old menu.lst had is /boot/grub/grub.cfg if that helps [23:49] ryanakca: read this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275 [23:49] darolu: sorry to be such a dummy, but how do I copy the module? its a message server... I can't just issue a command as root? [23:50] Hold on [23:50] Let me copy to pastebin [23:50] Typos_King: That get's overwritten each time update-grub gets called iirc. [23:50] darolu: Thanks [23:50] tachikoma805: if you don't know what a module is you better don't touch that directory I told you. [23:51] right, I wont [23:51] ryanakca: yes, it does, doesn't mean you can't edit it, it keeps the changes so long update-grub isn't run, and even if so, you can just back up your changes and put it back [23:51] of course it failed to install... because, who knows, why wouldn't it... [23:51] so no other way huh? geez...

[23:52] darolu: if I SSH into my machine, and start the server in there... then close that SSH session, will the server stop running as well? [23:53] why wouldn't my internal wireless controller show up on LSPCI? (hp pavillion dv6000)???????? [23:53] Ok I can't convert "lexmark-08z-series-driver-1.0-1.i386.rpm.sh" because it's an unknown package type and "lexmark-08z-series-driver-1.0-1.i386.rpm" is not found [23:53] Maybe because it's not supported?????????????? lol [23:53] tachikoma805: I don't know for sure but if you add && after your command it will go to background and if you log out the process will remain active [23:54] kieren: waht does it say when you try to open the file/folder? [23:55] darolu: really? That's a helpful bit of info!
