Any and all help will be appreciated. http://paste.ubuntu.com/384017/ [00:00] FTP client says: 500 OOPS: vsftpd refusing to run with writable anonymous root. what did I do wrong with the server config file? [00:00] DBeets: Yeah [00:01] Typos_King, trying now - thanks === kal is now known as charani [00:01] Lostinspace_46: try running apt-key with sudo [00:01] DBeets: I have mounted 192.168.1.3:/media/cdrom to /media/cdrom [00:01] Typos_King, i already have that installed.....(?) [00:01] Then tried to play it with: vlc /media/cdrom [00:01] Guest51742: b43-fwcutter, no, you have to get it from the repos.... the .o files you can dl from that url [00:02] Typos_King, it says it's already installed...i'm purging it and reinstalling it now [00:02] Guest51742: k, then if it's already installed, run the lines it has there, to include the firmware files, and reboot when done [00:02] Hi , im trying to add repository but im getting the following output http://sprunge.us/NBRg after executing the command : add-apt-repository ppa:tualatrix/ubuntu-tweak. can you help? [00:03] Kieren: have tried opening the VTS_01_0.IFO file in the VIDEO_TS folder? [00:03] Typos_King, it seems like the only line to run is apt-get install b43..... am i wrong? [00:03] You'll probably have to make vlc lookf for "All Files" not just media files [00:03] darolu Well DUH! Sometimes in the heat of battle I miss the obvious stuff. Thanks. [00:03] RanyAlbeg: what Ubuntu version are you running? [00:04] Guest51742: check in Bash if it's installed, type b43-fw [00:04] Lostinspace_46: :p yeah it happens, I hope it worked. [00:04] Typos_King, I just purged it. im going to install now. but that link you sent me only says to install it - there's nothing else to do [00:04] DBeets: gives me a horrible sound and no picture [00:04] 30 seconds long [00:04] hello everybody. A program needs libpython2.4.so.1.0 but I can't find it on the repo for ubuntu 64 bit. Any suggestion? [00:04] ...

Thanks again [00:06] what handles those desktop notifications in the new versions of ubuntu? [00:07] eni123: apt-cache search libpython [00:07] RanyAlbeg: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-tweak/+bug/513764 [00:07] willwh: that yields the lib for versions 2.6, 3.0 and 3.1 [00:07] vlc VTS_02_0.IFO [00:07] VLC media player 1.0.2 Goldeneye [00:07] yes, so those are the lib versions available to you [00:07] [0x9fc9140] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface.

[00:07] No video/sound [00:08] eni123: do you need a specific version? [00:08] eni123: installing python2.4 should work: sudo apt-get install python2.4 [00:08] http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/python2.4 [00:08] Hey guys, I have a fresh install of ubuntu karmic. How would I enable pulseaudio on here? [00:08] darolu: already did that too. It doesnt' work [00:08] willwh: yes, that version libpython2.4.so.1.0 [00:08] eni123: what do you mean it doesn't work? [00:08] ahuang: pulse is default on ubuntu [00:08] hwere can i find the name of my wireliss nic [00:09] RanyAlbeg: try this "sudo apt-get install python-software-properties" [00:09] willwh: that the program wants libpython2.4.so.1.0, the shared library, not just python2.4 [00:09] VCoolio: applications will steal the sound away. I can't use flash player along with rhythmbox [00:09] Kieren: :( it's working fine for me coming from my htpc and I see the same things [00:09] willwh: "error while loading shared libraries: libpython2.4.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" [00:10] is there a way to suspend a program like vbox into the background, and log out and have it resume when log in? [00:10] eni123: because that doesn't exist in the repo [00:10] well, defaults [00:10] all I see is, 2.6, 3.0 & 3.1 [00:10] willwh: I know, where do I get it for 64bit? [00:11] Let me grab a dvd a sec [00:11] willwh: ah ok, are you on 64 or 32? [00:11] enil123: are you trying to compile a videogame? I had this problem installing epsxe like a year ago, installing 32-bits libraries worked [00:11] just 32bit I'm afraid [00:11] DBeets: doing a vlc /media/cdrom/VIDEO_TS seems to attempt to play the DVD [00:11] but ye, they should work for you [00:11] Guest51742: http://imsky.org/t/10560111258.html [00:11] darolu: yes, galcon, how do I install 32 lib? [00:11] I get the horrible sound/no picuture but the durations change as if it's playing chapters [00:11] Typos_King, thanks - checking it out now [00:11] why wont youtube go fullscreen? [00:12] hi all [00:12] VCoolio: any ideas? [00:12] eni123: yeah, my program (epsxe) was 32-bit based so I had to install 32-bit libraries, I found them all here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/ [00:12] you just have to search for them. [00:12] VCoolio: Thank you very much. [00:12] RanyAlbeg: Which version of ubuntu are you using? [00:12] ahuang: not really, I use alsa, doesn't have the feature anyway [00:12] darolu: you downloaded them manually? [00:13] Paddy_NI: thats ok , that was a wrong ppa. thank you.

How do I remove a package without removing dependencies? [00:14] typos_king wheres the flash object? you mean the video itself on youtube? theres only settings and adobe flash when i right click the youtube video... [00:14] DBeets: What did you put in your export file? [00:14] does anyone use an FTP server?

[00:15] thx for that info [00:15] dumbass: ... h.... can't say... this is only in youtube? [00:15] AHelper2, you could try pinning them. [00:15] eni123: I'll try, in the mean while buona fortuna! (or how was it? en boca lupu?) [00:16] !rockbox [00:16] rockbox is an open source firmware replacement for audio players from Archos, iRiver, Apple (iPod), and iAudio. See http://www.rockbox.org/ to get started! [00:16] is there a way to suspend a program like vbox into the background, and log out and have it resume when log in? [00:16] well typos_king i only tried it on youtube..i have a x64 ubuntu installation [00:16] darolu: buona fortuna, and in bocca al lupo, both correct :D your italian seems good ;D from? [00:16] Typos_King, didn't change a thing.... [00:16] !libnotify [00:16] upgraded grub to grub2 and lost my windows entry, how do I recover it, please [00:17] eni123: México, I know a little bit of Italian, Spanish is very similar :P [00:17] darolu: comprendo ;D [00:17] !offtopic > self [00:17] seanbrystone, not a graphical application (that depends on X) no -- as X itself is restarted when you log off -- but you can definitely do that for command line applications# [00:17] meganerd you still there? [00:17] scribawf, you may have a backup list file in /boot/grub if ya lucky [00:17] pete__: still isn't getting detected? [00:17] unop ah ,future ability, lets hope :) [00:17] would apt-get --force-yes remove dep.'s or ignore them? [00:18] grobda24; yup I do [00:18] strange... /whois meganerd shows he's still here but he's not in /names [00:18] you know what really sucvks besides puleaudio these days... NVIDIA stopped supporting non SSE chipsets so anything older than P4 / AMD semp wont work at all with nvidia drivers.. i have an old amd 1300mhz computer i use as a media server/center connected to my 37 inch tv that only runs good with linux mint 5. because anything newer breaks my graphics. i tried everything with no luck. i guess nvidia really hates old computers. dont get m [00:18] e wrong i have a good GFX card on it to run nice on the tv. but nothing after ubuntu 8.04 works nicely on that machine. i triedto compile older nvidia with no luck. :S [00:18] Kieren: aparently we need to install libdvdcss [00:18] willwh, I'm trying to get files from computer A on my network to computer B... setting up vsftpd isn't as easy as i thought. [00:18] Typos_King, no - would having ndiswrapper or bcmwl-kernel* installed make a difference??? [00:18] dumbass... can't say... might be the libflashplayer.so version [00:18] I have done [00:18] grobda24: and then what I do with that list? [00:19] poop [00:19] scribawf, if you check it's fairly recent & has win entry in there then replace the menu.lst (I think it's called?). Make a backup of that file as well before you replace it. === manuel_ is now known as manuel__ [00:19] should you be using anything older than a p4 /sempron other than telling the time [00:19] Well, libdvdcss2 [00:19] grobda24: thank you I suspected that would be the approach, but needed some coaching [00:19] yeah use them as servers or to run legacy stuff but dont expect to run the latest [00:19] scribawf, np :) [00:20] raj: ATI cards are worst, they stopped supporting a lot of cards since early 09; I also have an old computer to watch movies/etc, the best option is to stick with 8.04 :( [00:20] Typos_King, would those files work on all broadcom adapters? i see openwrt has a bunch [00:20] Anyone notice an update that now make gnome-terminal open at / instead of ~? [00:20] I'm reading this: http://wiki.videolan.org/Common_Problems [00:21] if you got new hardware why upgrade the os makes now sense [00:21] pete__ makes me wonder... yes, the files are just firmware, 9.1 already includes drivers for broadcom chipsets, they just don't include the drivers.... I wonder firstly why isn't it showing up in lspci at all, it'd show at worst as Unknown [00:21] old hardware* [00:21] pete__ which makes me wonder if you have a broadcomm chipset device at all :{ [00:22] Typos_King, i checked out hp's site - says broadcom..if it was an intel - im sure ubuntu would pick it up..right? any other suggestions? [00:22] broadcom works fine in 8.04 [00:22] pete__ so, you don't know, all you know is waht 'they' say [00:23] pete__ either way, it'd show in lspci, do a lspci and paste it in a pastebin [00:23] DBeets: did you say you can play a dvd over nfs? [00:23] Typos_King, ok one sec [00:23] ... [00:24] Kieren: yeah, it's a ripped DVD. [00:24] Typos_King, http://pastebin.com/R889raX0 [00:24] are you getting this? ES_OUT_RESET_PCR called [00:24] YEAH i know it really frustrates me.. why do they do that? older drivers shouldnt break with newer kernels some people still use OLDER hardware... linux community should do this.. they are turning like microsoft where older hardware is no longer effecient supported [00:24] Is there somthing that can thunk onto the X messaging system and recorp/play windows inpu alla what expect does to console based apps? [00:25] Oh, okay [00:25] no raj linux isnt thats the thing if one distro is doing that you can always use another [00:25] No, not getting that [00:25] or stick to LTS [00:25] raj: Yeah I know, they are interested in selling newer cards only; anyways I use ATI cards and the open source driver is not bad, doesn't beat the propietary one though [00:26] pete__ I don't see it :{ [00:26] pete__ how do you know you have one hehe [00:26] Typos_King, there's a wireless button on the outer casing [00:26] Typos_King, all of these models come with it [00:26] Kieren: well my issue seems to be with my drive. VLC will read the disk title then abandon ship. [00:26] raj: my card is not even THAT old, is ~4 years old only and I need to use 2.6.24 or previous kernel [00:26] Typos_King, I was told it worked with Vista [00:26] thing is you have the windows mentality upgrade .. upgrade [00:26] Gstar i am stuck on 8.04 on my older machine because nvidia stop suporting non SSE chipsets older than p4/amd semp thast why im mad. i trie dto compile older drivers 96.xx with no luck under the new kernel [00:27] Kieren: I gotta go afk for a bit [00:27] That's okay [00:27] and whats wrong with 8.04 [00:27] I think I'm going to just leave it and go to be [00:27] Thanks for the help [00:27] I'll pop back tomorrow to share what I find [00:27] tbh when 8.04 gets discontiuned Im switching to debian or fedora [00:27] darolu i feel you my card is an nvidia 9500 gt but running on an amd 1300 so i guess im out of luck. im stuck with ubuntu 8.04/linu xmint 5 [00:28] Typos_King, any last suggestions? [00:28] Hi all, I'm running ubuntu 9.04 on a SheevaPlug and the internal storage is only 512MB, and I'd like to be able to have some packages installed to the internal storage, and some be installed onto a USB flash drive, is there any way I can do that? [00:28] raj your missing the point of LTS [00:29] Gstar nothing is wrong with 8.04 but i have to manually compile all the new software that no longer have .deb for ubuntu 8.04 [00:29] ah ok [00:29] Does there happen to be any backports of cheese, for use in 8.04 LTS so that I can lower my webcam capture resolution lower to get better frame rates? [00:29] pete__ get a live-cd with utilities to probe for a full hardware list.... also.... have you checked in 'dmesg' log yet? does it show any errors or loads for a Network adapter? [00:29] The regular repo package doesnt have that feature. [00:30] LinuxGuy2009, you could try the package search web page [00:30] raj but your going aqgainst the LTS by installing newer versions against the repos === Guest11795 is now known as isp [00:31] pdg1: use scp :) [00:31] Typos_King, i'll look in the logs now - where on the live cd is the hardware probe? [00:31] Gstar i cant exactly live with firefox 3.0 forever and cheese 0.4 and gimpp 1.xx i believe [00:31] willwh, will google :P pretty easy to setup? [00:31] Gstar and oopenoffice 2.4 :S [00:32] i downloaded and went through the installer for rockbox and it said it doesnt run on 4th generation ipods [00:32] Typos_King, the only thing in dmesg about wireless -> 13.975613] lib80211: common routines for IEEE802.11 drivers [00:32] raj yeah for certain apps its ok as long as its not everything [00:32] pdg1: cake walk === Guest11795 is now known as isp [00:33] is it possible to make rockbox work with 4th generation ipods? [00:33] raj if you need everything up to date choose a diff distro [00:33] willwh, sweet deal... I was starting to look at other options. thanks :D [00:33] I'm installing ubuntu in a chroot (I used debootstrap) and apt-get is encountering an error within the chroot: start: Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused === nikolam_ is now known as nikolam [00:33] raj debian and ubuntu are about stability [00:34] pete__ I don't mean necessarily in your live-cd, any other live cd ap [00:34] Typos_King, like the ubuntu live cs? [00:34] cd* [00:34] Gstar i will play with puppy linux this weekend and see if i can get nvidia working under the new release ( older nvidia drivers that support non sse) [00:35] raj maybe try centOS [00:36] pete__ assuming it picks it up..yeah.... I mean thus far all you have is a hearsay.... they say it's this or that brand... but it seems that... who knows [00:37] pete__ I have a broadcomm chipset adapter and works fine in 9.1 [00:37] but it also shows up in lspci [00:37] raj sorry you need support for older hardware [00:37] Typos_King, ok thanks [00:37] Gstar ill keep centOS in my mind :) thx of rteh suggestions.. i already have Slitaz too and will try it as well .. i got nothing better to do on sundays :) [00:38] raj centOs is a good choice if you want to keep up with the latest [00:38] I extracted a virus from virtual box running windows. Im running Ubuntu 9.10 and i want to know if its possible to open a .exe file to view whats inside. [00:38] teage with a hex editor yes [00:38] Gstar do you have any idea what kernel they are using? [00:38] lads.. is it normal for mirc to run extremely laggy under wine? [00:38] teage: Run clamscan against it? [00:39] this may belong in Ubuntu+1, but has anyone tested Alpha 3 yet, and can confirm if flash works? [00:39] I ran avast jpds [00:39] what would clamscan do that avast couldnt i wonder [00:39] x_: running mirc in wine? hehe no kvirc or xchat? [00:39] raj not off the top of my head no [00:39] i extraxted the exe from the exe with avast [00:40] Gstar okz im on the site will check [00:40] No reason to use mIRC. [00:40] Unless you use scripts. [00:40] i will check the repos for a hex editor [00:40] xchat ..for some reason wont allow my bnc to connect.. i googled the error but others have had the same problem and it wasnt solved.. and kvirc ..i completely forgot about . ill try that .. im using konversation atm .. its okish [00:40] teage you said look inside how do you mean how it works? [00:40] having problem to get a missing screen resolution added to the resolution dropdown. Have tried adding section in xorg.conf without success. Whatelse can I do (I want it to be available for all users on the box) [00:41] Gstar; exactly. [00:41] hey [00:41] Anyone tried Lucid alpha3 in vmware? [00:41] is the kernel located in /boot? [00:41] teage then a hex editor is what you need but you need knowledge of assembley language [00:41] x_: iirc pidgin also does irc [00:42] lol [00:42] its been a while, are there still 'cutting edge' patchsets for linux-sources or has development kinda slowed? [00:42] pidgi [00:42] n [00:42] Xchat? [00:42] Chatzilla/Mibbit [00:42] like i said ..; i cant connect to my bnc via xchat [00:42] Gstar: google serves me well and what i cant find or learn, someone from the channel might now. I will find what i need to know. [00:42] Im just curious is all [00:43] teage have you ever programmed? [00:43] I was able to view it with winrar but it looked like a bunch of mumbo jumbo [00:43] gstar: no, just scripting [00:43] DebianUT: Lucid support and discussion goes in #ubuntu+1 :) [00:43] teaage will be even more so in a hex editor [00:44] Gstar: i have read a bit though about programming [00:44] just delete it and be done [00:45] what is linux-next? [00:45] Ive programmed in c++ pascal visual baisc c# and hexa is still over my head if it gets complex [00:45] Ive done some nood reversing but trust me it will be over your heaf [00:45] head [00:45] tails [00:46] Gstar: well thats what i mean, windows uses c++ do they not, specially for exes [00:46] rww: thank you [00:46] What would cause OpenAL to return these values? http://pastebin.com/6bEj7tMc [00:46] teage yeah but you cant reverse it to the language you have to reverse it to machine code [00:47] Gstar:ic [00:47] openAI is much more cooler [00:48] teage: lol [00:48] Gstar:maybe is a waste of time to dissect it. but maybe i can find the coding on the Internet somewhere. === a359 is now known as adam_ [00:48] I just have too much time on my hands is all. Gotta stay busy ya know. [00:49] teage no harm in trying it might be over your head but you get familar with it so if you want to learn its not totally foreign [00:50] if it was programmed in vb you could use a debugger [00:50] Visual Basic? === vinny_the_CHIN is now known as mtx_init [00:50] ya, that was for teage [00:51] teage either way its not going to infect your linux box unless its a root kit which is unlikely [00:52] HI all! Is there an apt-get/aptitude command to see what I've got installed [00:52] Virus + Linux really unlikely [00:52] Gstar:Yeah, Im not worried about my linux. i just extracted it just now.

Should I set it to bridged adapter and then restart the VM? [01:16] yeah [01:16] How can i have an LG that has a 1 GB FS and fill it with 2.3 GB of data? [01:16] its /tmp and i used dd ??? Is something wierd here? [01:16] I've got a machine that doesn't boot past a certain stage. Problem is, I don't know why. [01:17] histo: if you use pulse i think is gnome-pulse-applet [01:17] Ubuntu 9.10, kernel 2.6.28 from 9.04, normal startup sequence doesn't get any further than the fsck of filesystem completing. Neither does the "rescue" entry [01:17] xangua: package doesn't exist i'm gong to try to get volwheel to work. [01:17] problem is viking neither do we when asking questions like that we need more info [01:18] If I use a 2.6.31 kernel, it all works wonderfully. [01:18] How can i have an LV on my lvm that has a 1 GB FS and fill it with 2.3 GB of data? its /tmp and i used dd ??? Is something wierd here? [01:18] I wish I knew what else to give you. I honestly do. [01:18] Viking667: clean installs most often do :| [01:18] stick to that kernel then [01:19] Can't. It's got a memory allocation bug that tanks most 3D programs I want to run. [01:19] I've installed PXE etc and I can boot from the network. Problem is it trys to connect to the web to download the iso. How can I get it to download it from the server/> [01:19] what kernel you running? [01:19] i.e. Imprudence, SecondLife, CoolPlus, OpenCobalt... [01:19] Viking667 so do a clean install of 9.04 then :| [01:19] 2.6.31-19, I think. [01:19] uh, I don't have that option. [01:19] ? [01:19] ... though I wish I'd been able to. [01:20] I believe something is wrong with my cpu fan cause it sounds alot.. Can I check errors of the fan somehow? It's like it's not identified by acpi or something [01:20] It's a system that's been going for about ... ooo.... three years being upgraded. [01:20] I've cleaned out all the crap in intervening times that i can find. [01:20] jolaren: sure, get the screwdriver out and start :) [01:20] you can download the latest from http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=1&ved=0CAcQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kernel.org%2F&rct=j&q=linux+kernels&ei=viGHS8HpNZ_-0gSR3enJCw&usg=AFQjCNFPaa5XvQVvUcRBRRoUKOTIkQOvdQbut is your own responsability [01:20] three years might be a bit of an overstatement, maybe two. [01:20] Typos_King, Hehe, it's not connected wrong [01:20] http://www.kernel.org/ [01:21] the 2.6.28 worked fine with 9.04, as you'd expect. But when I'm trying to use it with 9.10, it simply stops dead, and I've no idea why. [01:21] jolaren: so...you want to check the cpu fan from ... the screen? .....k [01:21] its 9.10 aqnd is not lts [01:22] When it DID ever boot up, then none of the normal /dev/input stuff was in /dev/input, it was all in /dev. Ditto /dev/snd, and card0 wasn't in /dev/dri [01:22] Typos_King, No, no.. I believe there's somesort of kernel error or something. The errors do not occure while in windows etc [01:22] It complains about ACPI in dmesg Typos_King [01:23] does someone know an easy solution, how to to tell my server, that requests to a certain domain should be handled lokally? [01:23] I've installed PXE etc and I can boot from the network. Problem is it trys to connect to the web to download the iso. How can I get it to download it from the server/> [01:23] viking a few tips stick with long term supported distos and dont do upgrades only fresh installs [01:23] jolaren..... it might be the acpi module... you can turn it off I gather, if it gives you hassle, not sure how that'd work for the poweroff feature.... but it gave me issues in 9.1 and I booted with acpi=off argument, and with that, it worked fine, just needed to power down using the power button :) [01:24] I am trying to install on my ubuntu9.10 machine and it says termcap no available can anyone help out === Rusty is now known as Guest74565 [01:24] wont work typos [01:24] jolaren: on others,not 9.1 it worked fine btw, it was just in 9.1, just hardware compatibilties issues [01:24] install _what_ on your 9.10 machine? [01:24] you will have to manually shut off [01:24] Typos_King, I see.. will have a look [01:25] right, that's what I did [01:25] I have an Ubuntu 6.06 LTS server that I need to upgrade to 8.04 LTS. It's a colo server so I cannot see a GUI. The instructions (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades ) say to install "update-manager-core" and then run it from a terminal. If I do that will it prompt me before actually making the changes? [01:25] One more thing.. What is this error? and how do I correct it?

[01:27] yeah, wrong channel lol [01:27] another thing: a compiled 2.6.30-10 works fine, but with the same issues I mentioned in /dev [01:27] trying to get network connectivity with Ubuntu running inside VMWare [01:27] use the older kernel then [01:28] bjhaid... termcap.. wha? how old is the machine? [01:28] linux is not windows just because something is upgraded you dont have to use it [01:28] I really want to find out (1) why 2.6.28 doesn't boot up past a certain stage, and why I don't get my devices appearing in the correct spot on anything but 2.6.31 [01:28] Hey, how do I add a folder to my executable path? [01:29] PATH=$PATH:/path/to/other/folder [01:29] kaji ^ [01:29] then export PATH [01:29] export path? [01:29] probably because 2.6.28 is not a valid ip internally or externally [01:29] kaji: you can add that line in your ~/.bashrc file [01:29] Gstar: ....? what? [01:29] Viking667, kaji, you can export and set a variable at the same time with export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/other/folder [01:29] I'm talking about kernel versions, not IP [01:30] yes, you can. But I'm used to working with sh as well as bash. [01:30] oh kernel version [01:30] *sigh* [01:30] stick to the one that works [01:30] so, can I sudo gedit ~/.bashrc ? [01:30] but it DOESN'T work! It keeps torpedoing my 3D programs. [01:30] can someone helpme diagnos my ,icrophone [01:31] *microphone [01:31] Say hello hello testing [01:31] kaji: don't need to sudo to your own files, just to the sytem ones [01:31] viking usae the older kernel then [01:31] simples [01:31] Gstar: gah. It doesn't BOOT UP!!! [01:32] well, the kernel itself boots, but the Ubuntu system gets pissy with it or something. [01:32] I bet it would if someone who knew what they where doing [01:32] And I don't know how to get it to cough up what stage it stops at. [01:32] Kaji, as long as you havd rights to do soe assigne [01:32] Yeah, so do I bet that. [01:32] So, just add the path=blahblah at the bottom of.bashrc? [01:32] I may end up doing breadcrumbing just to get what I want. [01:32] kaji, no [01:33] <- linux noob [01:33] kaji, bashrc only loads when you run a terminal after you login [01:33] heehe [01:33] there's .bash_profile, .profile and .bashrc [01:33] hi, how should I properly fix damaged root lvm ext4 partition? (Ubuntu Server 9.10). I tried recovery mode once and got full lost+found. Is it so badly damaged or caused by running fsck.ext3 on ext4? I may try again as it's EXSi server and I have a snapshot. [01:33] ack [01:33] so vikingnwhat is your boot error [01:33] PATH normally goes into .profile or .bash_profile [01:33] kaji, you want : ~/.profile [01:33] i cant get my microphone to work? [01:33] Gstar: simple. It stops. [01:33] can someone help? [01:33] I'm having a bit of a problem. I just installed Ubuntu 9.10 PPC on my G4 PowerBook. When i try to run the "Ubuntu Software Center" and install something, i just sits there with the message "Waiting for other software manager to quit". Problem is, i haven't got any other package or software manager running. [01:33] I can reboot, of course. Three fingered salute works properly. [01:33] k, well, I need to add a folder to the path so a script contained within runs on boot [01:34] Kassykillerface, check your alsamixer [01:34] kaji, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables [01:34] Is it possible to install Bmpanel2? [01:34] .... I added a PATH line at the end of ~/.bashrc and works not only in the terminal :| [01:34] where would i find the alsamixer? [01:34] it's a program [01:34] type it in at a terminal. [01:35] in what menu, its not in my sound menu\ [01:35] we dont support windows viking 3 finger sulute? [01:35] If you don't have it, then you'll need to find out what package it comes in. [01:35] kaji, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBootupHowto [01:35] Gstar: linux supports shutting down if you use Ctl-Alt-Delete [01:35] hmmm... why do wireless nodes on my WRT54G only transfer at 10mbps? [01:35] Goto to a terminal and typoe alsamixer [01:35] ittakes it as a signal to either reboot or halt, depending on a system setting. [01:35] not the same though [01:36] Gstar: hm? [01:36] anyone have a clue why my netbook's keyboard's CAPS key generates "keycode 66 (keysym 0xff1b, Escape)", while the CAPS key on an external USB keyboard generates "keycode 66 (keysym 0xffe5, Caps_Lock)"... same keycode different keysym WTF? [01:36] speak in linux terms [01:36] i want both caps keys to generate ESC [01:36] Typos_King, because you opened the terminal before you tested that it works elsewhere, therefore var exists now [01:36] I've heard plenty of Linuxheads use that term too. [01:36] CMake can't find X11 when trying to install Bmpanel2, how come? [01:36] safe: did you install the header files? [01:36] well just ghet on with it lol [01:36] for Xorg? [01:36] in alsamixer, there is no volume control for the mic. the place is marked but there is no vlume leel indicater [01:37] kassykillerface: hit tab. Watch what happens to the display [01:37] Viking667: Maybe not. Which are they? [01:37] then hit tab aain [01:37] safe: hang on a mo. I'll find out. [01:37] Viking667: Greatly apprieciated. [01:38] how do i backup the list of installed programs [01:38] linux does not need the 3 fingers the noob versions have it [01:39] coolkehon: the list as in plain text list? orthe bunch of .deb files you downloaded? [01:39] try a crtl alt del in mandrake [01:39] coolkehon: open synaptic and export the list [01:39] Might be xserver-xorg-dev, but I'm confirming that [01:39] Gstar: does the same thing. [01:39] So, I haven't gotten a hard answer. if I add the path=blahblah line to my ~/.profile file, will it enable the script I have in the folder I need to add to path to run on boot? [01:39] mandrake not mandriva [01:39] Typos_King: i want to make a script i guess so that i can reinstall everything. i don't think i can remember everything i have installed atm [01:39] my apologies, the package is libx11-dev [01:40] Viking667: Thanks! [01:40] and that was the easy disto back in the days [01:40] Gstar: For mandrake, I believe the behaviour was the same. I haven't run it since 10.2 thoug, when they changed over to Mandriva [01:40] kaji: I'd say the answer is, add it to ~/.profile that gets executed upon loading, as airtonix pointed out, yes I do have a console open hehee, so [01:40] HOLA [01:40] I am still running 2009.1 now. [01:41] HI [01:41] its been mandriva sice about 10 [01:41] (or is that 2010.0)? [01:41] HOW CAN I CONNECT TO ANNOTHER CHANNEL [01:41] Gstar: yes. Since 10.2 [01:41] coolkehon: http://aptoncd.sourceforge.net/ <--- maybe is for you :) [01:41] rww: the do-release-upgrade program told me what I needed to know. Thanks. [01:41] LuisfernandoGnu: turn off caps lock. then type /join #yourotherchannel [01:43] Hello, I have a question about putty, if I use it to connect on my computer with ssh, will I be able to use auto-completion, coloration syntaxe etc... like a real unix terminal ? [01:43] AptonCD rocks... [01:43] I am getting an annoying error. The error is this: http://pallkars.net/~uploader/uploads/shot.PNG And I get it when adding the table rule "iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -j MASQUERADE". This don't mess up ampache, websites, ftp, ssh nor any other service that I have noticed except squirrelmail and thunderbird. I can still access the mail with mutt via ssh though. Some guy told me that this is probably an IMAP problem and I have dovecot 1.1.11. I am running [01:43] so if I have a guest account set up, and somebody runs a string of malicious code from within a terminal without root access, can they still cause problems for my computer, or only for that user? [01:43] dromar as long as its your ssh history [01:44] I've got a 5 button ("7 button" according to X. Wheel mouse with 2 side buttons) mouse. It seems to be detected fine, but the default actions for the side button are back and forward. While some people might like that, it's driving me nuts since I keep hitting the side buttons accidentally against the edge of my keyboard. Is there a way to reassign the action of those buttons? Google mostly just tells me how to get it detected (which [01:44] it already is). [01:44] will depend on your logon to [01:44] Hey, Im having trouble with my webcam... it does not work. can someone help me? [01:45] GeminiDomino stick to windows for games [01:45] anyone know anything about wine? [01:45] opening home folder opens f-spot ubuntu [01:45] ^^ [01:45] Gstar: I do... why? [01:45] because thats the one thing its good at [01:45] alright i cant get virtuagirl hd to run properly [01:45] I mean why tell me that? I'm not talking about gaming [01:46] I just want to change what the buttons do. [01:46] bigtom21485: you serious? [01:46] your asking about config for a gaming pad no? [01:46] probably for a game that uses direct x [01:46] No. For a mouse. [01:46] How can I install Ubuntu from the network? [01:47] bigtom21485: pretty sure thats a windows app. you might be able to slap something together with wine, but I wouldn't know where to start. [01:47] games are programmed for windows [01:47] Gstar: hey dude. He's asking how to disable two mouse buttons. [01:47] Hey, Im having trouble with my webcam... it does not work. can someone help me? [01:47] Nothing to do with games, windows or otherwise. [01:47] Gstar what the hell? the guy is asking how to make his mouse's 7th button not do anything. [01:47] the thing with wine your gonna need higher spec than to run on windows [01:47] greg__: did ubuntu find any drivers for your webcam? [01:48] I mean, I guess in the worst case I could edit the xorg.conf and disable the two buttons entirely, but if I could remap them instead that would be better [01:48] nope anarki2004 [01:48] trust me windows for gaming I hate the os [01:48] greg__: have you looked around for drivers that support your model webcam? [01:48] ya i cant find [01:48] but I keep it for gamng [01:48] GeminiDomino: Personally, I'd suggest either switching sides with the mouse, (i.e. mouse on left hand side) or disable in xorg.conf [01:48] GeminiDomino go to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto [01:49] Where does x get its default setup when there is no /etc/X11/xorg.conf?

[01:49] oh...pastbin buddy [01:49] Nitsuga: I did say that. ;) [01:49] how do you find out a flash drives id in terminal? [01:49] greg__: so yes, it's installed. [01:49] yes [01:49] ooh your mouse is supported what about the gfx [01:49] now, is there a driver for it [01:49] raj: I saw that, but imwheel doesn't work (mid-click and right click both detect as left click) and it has nothing about changing the actions of the buttons [01:50] What package installs alsa/asoundlib.h? [01:50] greg__: it looks like you have a driver. where are you encountering an error? [01:50] when I go into cheese [01:50] or try to record on youtube [01:50] nothing comes up... [01:50] what's the status of firefox distribution with ubuntu? is fx3.5 part of the standard distro? [01:50] greg__: is there a /dev/video0 ? [01:51] what does that mean :) [01:51] im new to ubuntu [01:51] that's a file [01:51] not such a techie ;) [01:51] in your filesystem [01:51] you check in /dev for that filename [01:51] how do i get to /dev [01:51] dmesg would also give you information, but you need to run "dmesg | less" [01:51] go to "places" [01:51] time for bed [01:51] Wow, you really are new, aren't you? [01:51] ... [01:51] haha yea [01:51] just installed it today [01:52] ouch. [01:52] anyway service brain restart [01:52] Place, root? [01:52] soooorry [01:52] so ya... places... [01:52] lol. 's all right. [01:52] Hrm... It looks like it's hard coded in firefox, if this guy is right. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1318665 [01:52] kubuntu, you said?

[01:53] Hmm, anyone know why I would be getting "X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) Major opcode of failed request: 73 (X_GetImage)" when trying to run programs in wine? ... [01:53] My wife's kubuntu doesn't have "places" [01:53] no the file isnt there [01:53] trying to htink of the "windows" method for getting to /dev [01:53] greg__: instead, look under Applications for a tool called "Terminal" [01:53] Run it. [01:53] yes [01:53] Vikings667 kubuntu doesn't have such, that's ubuntu [01:53] Sweet! My touchscreen works now!

[01:54] HOWEVER, how do I make it work in the loginscreen? [01:55] greg__: ah huh? video0 (not Video0) === arleslie|sleepin is now known as arleslie [01:55] Linux is case sensitive. Repeat after me. Linux is case sensitive. Repeat after me. [01:55] video0 [01:55] Is it possible to use xmacro/xbindkeys for only ONE program, rather than globally? [01:55] so, no /dev/video0 [01:55] joeblob, is your network manager telling that the connection speed is less than 54mbps? [01:55] * Typos_King slaps Vikings667 insensitively [01:56] no [01:56] what about a /dev/v4l [01:56] Viking667, you will prefix your messages with your recipients name repeat after me, you will prefix your messages with your recipients name, you will prefix your messages with your recipients name [01:56] it's the slow file transfer that is telling me that it's less [01:56] joeblob, i think you are confusing terms [01:56] which terms would those be? [01:56] joeblob, that is the difference between 54 Mbits/sec and 8Mbytes/sec [01:56] how can i add script to init ubuntu ? [01:56] I'm getting about 1MB/sec (10mbps) [01:56] joeblob, the 54 in the wireless g speed is in mega BITS [01:56] :< [01:56] viking667 it says by-id by-path [01:56] yes [01:56] I realize that [01:56] Ah huh. [01:57] joeblob, and you get 8 mega BYTES [01:57] which is why I expected I would be transferring faster than 8mbps [01:57] But no /dev/video is there. I'm wondering about drivers. [01:57] no... [01:57] I get more like 1 mega BYTES [01:57] when I should be getting 8 [01:57] ohhhh [01:57] joeblob: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:57] in that terminal, quit out of the "less": use the q key. [01:57] All right, so I'm screwed by FFx. Thanks anyway, guys. :) [01:57] ok [01:57] wow.. pastebin a conversation? [01:57] joeblob, are you using scp/sftp/ssh for transfer? [01:57] darn. I've just had a goldfish moment. [01:57] someone mentioned that since I'm using it as a gateway for WAN that it's limited to the bus speed of 10mbps [01:58] ah yes. [01:58] Viking667, a goldfish moment??? [01:58] do I need to bridge two WRT54Gs together in WDS to get 54mbps on LAN? [01:58] Do you know how to start a browser, and to get to http://pastebin.ca/ ? [01:58] Nitsuga: yes [01:58] anybody know why virtualgirl hd wouldnt work with wine on ubuntu 9.10? [01:58] Viking667, we dont support goldfish here. [01:58] dsnyders: yeah. I thought of something to tell greg. three seconds later, I'd forgotten what it was. [01:58] because virtualgirl is naughty [01:58] bigtom21485, google : winehq virtualgirl [01:58] joeblob, that may be the problem. Maybe the source or dest. pc are using too much cpu and tthe scp process can't encrypt and decrypt at an acceptable rate [01:58] Viking667 - any ideas for me? [01:58] Viking667, Ah! [01:59] greg__: type in: lsmod >> /tmp/lsmodfile [01:59] joeblob, I'm using my dsl router as a gateway of course, but I get about 10-11MBytes/sec inside my LAN [01:59] What the hell is virtual girl? [01:59] Nitsuga: it happens with Samba transfers as well... I think it's because I'm using my WRT54g as a WAN gateway [01:59] VTSkeptic, google it. [01:59] ok Viking667 [01:59] VTSkeptic: pr0n for your desktop [01:59] greg__: then, go send that file /tmp/lsmodfile to http://pastebin.ca/, following the instructions to upload a file. [01:59] Thanks [01:59] Give us back the number it gives you. [02:00] joeblob, if you are having encrypted wifi then you will not achieve max speed [02:00] joeblob, I use my Linksys DIR-300 as a wan gateway and i hace a good transfer speed === Strife1989 is now known as Strife89 [02:00] it is using WEP... but will it really make the difference between 8mbps and 54mbps? [02:00] Anyone know the devel package of alsa is? (alsa/asoundlib.h) [02:01] joeblob: my suggestion? Don't use WEP. Use WPA/2 instead (or whatever it's called) [02:01] joeblob, not if you use AES encryption. [02:01] * AHelper2 uses no encryption because neighbors like it that way XD [02:01] bigtom21485: i don't know any reason why wine couldn't support VirtuaGirlHD, but I don't know how to make it do said action [02:01] joeblob, use WPA/2 with AEES encryption to get 1) better security (in fact WEP can be cracked in 10 seconds) and better speed [02:01] How do I make my touchscreen initialize in the loginscreen? I have it working AFTER login just fine, nextstep is to get it working at boot [02:02] ok [02:02] joeblob, my apologies. those are my transfer speeds using cat-5. Over wifi, it does pretty much stink. [02:03] libasound2-dev [02:03] That's for AHelper2 [02:03] huh? [02:03] no luck still no input devices [02:04] Thanks, you saved me from compiling alsa in addition to openal! [02:04] [02:04] alsamixergui still only has master and capture [02:04] ! [02:04] oooohhh. [02:04] It'll be using pulse as a back end. Shyte. [02:05] ? [02:05] I can't help there, sorry. [02:05] hey, i was wondering. if my xorg.conf file isnt preconfigured how can you change that to make it read your hardware? [02:05] ONE MOAR PERSON JOIN [02:05] pavucontrol? [02:05] anyhow, I'm out of here. [02:05] Yes, there's 1337 number of people :D [02:05] http://grab.by/2GIV [02:05] kassykillerface: I'm betting your alsamixer gui thinks it's talking to pulse. [02:06] how do i get it to not? [02:06] uhm, that bit I don't know. I rather hate pulseaudio myself, but can't find a way of removing it without wrecking other things too. [02:07] yeah. PulseAudio is a sound driver that's supposed to take over from the ALSA project. I don't find it does a stellar job. [02:07] I don't frankly know what you can do. [02:07] join the pulseaudio dev and fix the problems [02:07] Viking667, Pulseaudio is great [02:08] i always hear people saying how much pulse audio sucks, but nobody ever specific as to what the bug is that needs fixing [02:08] is great now that it is working :D [02:08] Can anyone help me troubleshoot my ftp problem I am having. I installed vsftpd but netstat doesnt show that it is listening at all [02:08] PULSEAUDIO SUCKS nothing BUT a PAIN on HDA laptop CARDS [02:08] ^l [02:08] like that [02:08] Viking667, for example you can set different volume to different applications [02:08] I am not able to ftp even locally to the server [02:09] Viking667, Also Pulse solves the remote desktop sound problems [02:09] Kardos, pulseaudio does not allow me to play more than 1 source of sound at a time. i have to restart each application sperately. i use dto use asound on ubuntu 9.04 but now asound is gone with ubuntu 9.10 [02:09] How do I make my touchscreen initialize in the loginscreen? I have it working AFTER login just fine, nextstep is to get it working at boot [02:10] this is not the case for me, i just tested it, mplayer and amarok [02:10] interesting problem though, bug report??? :) [02:10] Kardos: its a known bug is you serach pulseaudio flash and media player problem not allowing more than 1 source [02:10] kaji, if you are using a command you can make a script in /etc/init.d/ and use update-rc.d (see the man) to make it start with the system [02:11] so its a flash problem? [02:11] For me, pulseaudio is still occasionally choppy. And the weird thing is, I don't know what causes the choppiness. [02:11] does anyone else think they can help me with getting my microphone to work? [02:11] Okay. [02:11] I will take a stab at it === jeremy is now known as Guest64398 [02:12] let me find the name of this app... [02:12] nitsuga: I have a perlscript in ,y /etc/$user/bin file, set to execute on login as a startup program. will that work with what you said (and can you give me a bit more walkthroughness on how to do it?) [02:12] hi [02:12] Do you know a program who can automatically record an input of soudcard with scheduled auto delete time and with severals options of record? [02:12] kaji, yes! it will [02:12] ok here is a new symptom [02:13] Anyone know what gst-mixer is in ubuntu? [02:13] nitsuga: so I just move the .pl into /init.d/ and then what? [02:13] i was trying to update ubuntu to the newest version today and my laptop powered off during the install. i've got shell access now, but nothing would really mount. can someone help me out? [02:13] kaji, the pl file will not work in init.d [02:13] Nitsuga: Oh :< what do I do then? [02:14] kaji, make a text file in /etc/init.d with the following line: case $1 in; start) /path/to/pl; done [02:14] gstreamer-tools.... [02:15] kaji, hey! there is a better and easier way [02:15] /etc/rc.local [02:16] Nitsuga: Oh? [02:16] kaji, just realized: you can just add /path/to/pl in /etc/rc.local and mark that file as executable [02:16] anybody, please? [02:16] johnnyq, what was it doing when the power failed? [02:16] I have a webhotel which I have my mailserver hosted at.. it's my surname.se. Now I have also registrered my surname.nu.

[02:29] Serraphyn, gdm would respawn itself [02:29] w00t?! [02:29] kaji, no? [02:30] Nitsuga: his question was about killing xorg server not stopping gdm though [02:30] Serraphyn, you are asking about running windows software on linux, your options are wine, wine, wine, or install windows... [02:30] Nitsuga: Nope. I'm wondering if I did something wrong with referencing the .pl [02:30] Serraphyn, yeah, but in most cases Xorg is running by gdm [02:30] kaji, does the path contain any spaces? [02:30] I really should be taking notes cause I can't remember what it was I was editing >.> [02:30] kaji, /etc/rc.local [02:31] kaji, if the path has spaces you need to "quote" it [02:31] is there a way to see where grub is getting its menu?? [02:31] Nitsuga: currently it's stpored in my home/kaji/etc/bin folder [02:31] should probably put it somewhere better [02:31] i dont have a menu.lst that i can find [02:31] Serraphyn, you could use a virtual machine, and then the questions about the vm would apply here...

[02:32] guys i have a problem with my screen resolution, just is available 800x600 I have desktop effects activated, I think the problem is my monitor [02:32] airtonix: to bad VMs don't support playing games. some boast 3d rendering but I've not found one that actually has a 3d video card for dx7/9 games [02:32] Claptrap, lol [02:33] ubuntu says monitor unknown [02:33] Humbly I kneel before thee and present myself to your... whatever it is you do when you help us lesser idiots. :| [02:33] Ministrations! I was looking for ministrations! [02:33] in display settings [02:33] Mr_Bismark: see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution not sure about that monitor unknown part [02:33] So. [02:33] Nitsuga: it's in there as /home/kaji/bin/tablet6.en.pl [02:33] A quick summary. [02:33] which is exactly the path to the pl [02:33] IO [02:34] hi, i'm trying to install ubuntu using an usb flash drive, in fact, i used unetbootin to put correctly the iso file inside my usb, the problem is when i'm in the installation process that is always requesting for a cd drive, so, my question is, how the installation would know that it has to look for the necessary files in my usb instead of a cd drive? [02:34] Serraphyn, then your have two options, one of which is best discussed in #winehq [02:34] I'm attempting to install Ubuntu 9.10 via Unetbootin on a LiveCD. [02:34] kaji, mm that sould work [02:34] LiveCD ISO* [02:34] kaji, you need to run that with sudo? [02:34] Serraphyn, the other you can try to compete with the boasting occuring in #windows [02:34] Anyone ever get sharepoint with d-links working with ubuntu? I have a usb hdd on it that I share with windows machines on network but would like to acess it on linux. [02:35] It seems to be installing correctly, however, I can't access GRUB when I boot from the HDD that contains the Linux partition. [02:35] YAY! I fixed my sound issues in a record 4 hours! That beat my personal best of 4 months! [02:35] Nitsuga: Not that I know of. It runs at login as a startup program so I don't see anything that should prevent it from running at boot [02:35] airtonix: boasting about what? I tried it in windows and linux, no VM software I have found mkaes decent 3d rendering yet. [02:35] I -can- see GRUB if I boot from the OTHER HDD in the PC, but then it doesn't present Ubuntu as a boot optioon. [02:35] I am flummoxed, frustrated, and generally pissed off. [02:36] Claptrap: then take a step back, relax and come back to it later :) [02:36] kaji, mmm maybe it needs to run as you user. [02:36] I have. :p A couple of times, now. [02:36] hehe [02:36] kaji, can you send me the file? Just to check how it works [02:36] claptrap, maybe you installed grub in the mbr of the other hdd [02:36] maybe it's missing the right path to ubuntu} [02:36] Claptrap, by "can't access grub" do you mean the BIOS complains about no operating system being found or the like? [02:36] I've been Googling like a lunatic and trying to figure this out, but to no real avail. [02:37] brjann, no, I just get the normal Windows bootloader. [02:37] Nitsuga: http://samengstrom.com/nxl/7977/tablet6.en.pl [02:37] With no Ubuntu option. [02:37] viejotren, how would I fix that? [02:37] Sorry [02:37] Forgot to mention [02:37] Trying to dual boot with 7 [02:37] On the same HDD as Ubuntu. [02:37] Claptrap: see !dualboot IIRC there is a section on Vista/Ubuntu [02:38] i don't know if win7 is always trying toi be the first os, vista does that [02:38] I've looked at quite a few different dualbooting things, too. [02:38] claptrap, do you have 2 hdds? [02:38] Claptrap, what's on the second HD? that does show grub with no ubuntu? [02:38] !dualboot | Claptrap how about this one? [02:38] Claptrap how about this one?: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [02:38] the first link [02:38] Whats the apt-get command to remove packages you installed? [02:38] kaji, this is why i hate perl. It's unreadable! it's everything like \n$o\t";# . Anyway I undestand it and it needs to run as your own user in your own screen. Making it work in gdm will be tricky. [02:39] Yeah, I have two HDDs. The second one is just storage. [02:39] It has some Vista remnants on it. [02:39] claptrpa: did you installed ubuntu in the first one? [02:39] Claptrap, i agree with viejotren, sounds like you installed grub on the wrong drive [02:39] Lemme look on that link [02:39] Nitsuga: That sounds distressingly like something far out of my expertise [02:40] Yeah, I've looked at that page before. [02:40] Serraphyn: sudo apt-get purge or sudo apt-get remove [02:40] Claptrap: I have to agree with viejotren also [02:40] That sounds... ridiculously simple. [02:40] lol [02:40] vlad003: thanks [02:40] Claptrap, try reading through this: the problem is essentially the same. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [02:40] Read that. [02:40] :p [02:40] That has come up at [02:40] gvfsd is only used for virtual filesystems correct...i.e. killing it should not result in issues with permanently mounted fs'es? [02:40] the top of every Google I've done so far. [02:41] lol [02:41] kaji, in other words only the current working user can run it. So it won't work if it is run before gdm. [02:41] Claptrap, and you went through it? [02:41] Yeah. [02:42] I had a situation where my / and /home FSes went read-only. [02:42] Lemme take another look, remember what specifically I tried. [02:42] kaji, removew it from /etc/rc.local to avoid trouble [02:42] I tried theeeeee [02:42] Nitsuga: that's ok, not a huge deal ti twiddle the nipple slightly to select alogin name is gonna be a huge deal. *hates nipplemice* [02:42] claptrap, I will tell you what i did when i was in your situation [02:42] sudo grub-install thingy. [02:42] kaji, I don't know a way to run something as gdm process. Sorry :( [02:42] kaji, if you don't mind about it you can set an autologin [02:43] autologins are handy :) [02:43] oh well, one way to find out...testing bye all. [02:43] claptrpa: if you can't boot inside the installation process again [02:43] What is the channel for php development? [02:43] its not #php :/ [02:43] Well, I imagine you're right. I've actually been thinking about trying exactly what you're saying, but I gather I have to defrag the second HDD, since it shows that I can't resize the partition. [02:43] Nitsuga: it's ok, as I said, won't be a huge imposition to twiddle the nipple a bit at login. thanks though! [02:43] And that's generally a longish process. :< [02:44] ...I read twiddle the nipple. [02:44] Claptrap, whoa whoa, why resizing partitions? [02:44] claptrap: use a live cd based distros [02:44] mount your partition [02:44] and then do: [02:44] The second HDD is fully partitioned for the entire space [02:44] join #php5 [02:44] chroot /media/tourpart [02:44] grub-install hd0 [02:45] That looks frightening. Wassat do? [02:45] frighting? grub installs to hd0 [02:45] in theory :) [02:45] hi [02:45] Claptrap, there's nothing wrong with that. grub lives in the master boot record (MBR) of the drive. it just sounds like you have the windows bootloader in the MBR you want grub in. [02:46] Yea, I've been trying to get around that, to. [02:46] too* [02:46] I tried EasyBCD [02:46] To no real avail. [02:46] claptrap, in fact if the installation of grub was succesfully the problem is in the menu.lst file [02:46] Claptrap: if you have 2 seperate hard drives one for each OS . You could put grub on the MBR of the linux drive amd tell the pc/bios to boot that 2nd hd. No touching of the windows drive. [02:46] Menu.lst is for original grub, right? [02:46] you only needs to redirect to the right hdd [02:47] menu.lst for grub1 - grub2 (grub-pc) uses a different config setup. it has a grub.cfg i belive. [02:47] Yeah. My LiveCD has grub2 [02:47] yes, i think you atre right, i'm still using grub [02:47] So, I guess what I really need to do [02:47] to simplify all this [02:48] Is to get Ubuntu installed on the HDD that DOES see grub, yes? [02:48] hey can someone help me get my msi wind u120 see my webcam [02:48] Claptrap, that would be a bit overkill I think. :) [02:49] Well, not really, at this point. I've already deleted and reinstalled it about ten times. [02:49] It is currently not installed. :p [02:49] Hell, I couldn't even manage to get Wubi working. [02:49] i am using wubi now [02:50] I have no idea what wrong there. [02:50] Claptrap, if your OS drive is /dev/sda, and your storage drive is /dev/sdb, and your bios is set to boot from the OS drive, all you should have to do is sudo grub-install /dev/sda [02:50] See [02:50] I think I tried that [02:50] And it didn't help [02:50] That looks familiar. [02:50] hi guys. [02:50] claptrap, when you boot the pc, and choose ubuntu, what is the message? [02:51] I did this [02:51] sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/0d104aff-ec8c-44c8-b811-92b993823444 /dev/sda [02:51] There's no option for Ubuntu. [02:51] It never shows up. [02:51] so, grub never found it [02:51] Either in Windows Boot Manager or GRUB when I booted from the second HDD [02:51] Claptrap, hm. have you tried holding down shift while it's booting? if grub is installed, that will force the menu to display [02:52] Yeah, I tried that on the main HDD. No go. [02:52] Claptrap, maybe it's there but it can't see ubuntu, so it just boots windows. [02:52] Claptrap, wow. :) [02:52] ;D [02:52] The good side of not being an idiot is that I'm not an idiot. [02:52] The bad side is that when I come up with a problem [02:52] Claptrap, how about sudo update-grub2? [02:52] It's usually REALLY fun. [02:53] I know how you feel. [02:53] Now that, I never tried. Will that work from a LiveCD? [02:53] Claptrap: is linux on the 2nd and Just on the 2nd hd? ie: windows soley on the first hd. and linux totally on the 2nd hd? [02:53] hi anyone know how i can make a usb stick windows install drive from within linux? [02:53] Claptrap, perhaps? You might have to point it at the right drive. let me look [02:53] No, I've not been able to install Linux on the second HDD. Ubuntu never gives me the option, and Windows Partition Manager won't let me shrink the second HDD partition. [02:53] bitbaud: thers guides online bout making a windows install usb stick. Ive no idea what tools they use. Or ask in #windows theymay know. [02:53] anyone ever use the ps3 eye webcam in ubuntu? [02:54] i can get the video working fine, but the sound seems to be a bit hard [02:54] it shows up in the sound preferences as an input [02:54] but i cant seem to get it working [02:54] Claptrap, yes, it should work from inside a livecd. [02:54] Claptrap: I alwyas defrag/scandisk and resize windows partitins from WITHIN windows - vista and higher has that feature. [02:55] Yeah, defrag was what I figured I needed to do, and yes, all my partitioning has been in Windows. [02:55] Claptrap, aiee, really? [02:55] how can i set ctrl+- to make an ― ? [02:55] I was hoping to avoid trying a degrag, since those are never fast. [02:55] how did you set your linux partitions to be... linux? [02:55] I shrunk the main Windows partition on the primary HDD and Ubuntu took care of that. [02:55] Claptrap: so in windows. i resize and leave a lot of the 2nd hd Unallocated. and tell the installer to use the unallocated space. If i want to be fancy. I infact Unplug the windows HD. so theres Just the 2nd hd. that way Linux and grub both totally go on the 2nd hd. [02:56] Or, I think it did, anyway. [02:56] Claptrap, oh, okay. Sorry, i thought you meant you'd created your ubuntu partitions from in windows. :) [02:56] I find things work out much nicer if i keep linux and wndows totally seperate like that. [02:56] I know that Windows sees ext4 in partition manager afterwards. [02:56] But, since I've not actually seen the inside of my Ubuntu install yet... :p [02:56] hehe [02:57] some guys know how to hace the password of .ods file? [02:57] And yeah, Dr_Willis, that's what I want to do. [02:57] Claptrap: id almost be tempted to tell you to remove the old install. and try to get windows all on one hd and linux on the 2nd hd.. via whatere means nesscary [02:57] But Partition Manager tells me there's zero space available to srhink by. [02:57] The old install IS gone. :p === Guest11795 is now known as isp [02:58] I got frustrated and deleted the whole Linux partition and reattached it to Windows [02:58] 'cause I figured Wubi was a sure thing. [02:58] Turned out not to be. [02:58] :| [02:58] I'm running 9.04 right now... and I have the option to upgrade to 9.10. I thought you couldn't upgrade between .04 and .10 releases?? [02:58] if I upgrade to 9.10, will I be able to upgrade to 10.04 when it is released? [02:58] vmware seems to have evolved since i used it last. i wanna run windws 7 as a vm in ubuntu, what do i need? [02:59] Claptrap: i hate wubi. SO i never use it. Best bet is play with a live cd/gparted and windows partion tool and some how just dedicate the whole 2nd hd to linux. (set it to unallocated, and unplug the windows hd, and restart the installer) I think. [02:59] what does adding this option, nomodeset, do when added to the grub boot? [02:59] inertial: common FAQ. and the answer is Yes. [02:59] Yeah, I just need to defrag it, I guess. [02:59] does ubuntu 9.10 work well with netbook webcams [02:59] Dr_Willis: thanks [02:59] Claptrap, sorry I couldn't help out :) [03:00] how can i remove everything up to and including 'impression.php?' in a text file for each line? [03:00] Claptrap: i always resize in windows. So thats a given to do befor i try it. In fact i think the windows tools will tell you to do that and may in fact auto-do it. [03:00] Well, it didn't auto-do it, that much is sure. :p [03:00] good luck. Nioght [03:00] Thanks, you guys [03:00] Given me some thoughts, anyway. [03:00] And confirmed what I was trying to avoid. :E [03:01] nullp0inter, are you comfortable with the command line? [03:01] update [03:01] Defragging a 500 GB HDD with most of the space already used. [03:01] THIS === Guest36950 is now known as flea [03:01] Should be entertaining. [03:01] brjann: yea, i wasnt sure whther to use awk or sed, and even then i get confused [03:02] nullp0inter, if it's one line at a time i usually use sed. try [03:02] sed 's/^.*impression\.php\?//' filename [03:02] can someone help me get my netbook to see my webcam [03:02] I'm curious, though, since I'ma have nothing else to do for a bit [03:03] Any thoughts on why Wubi would just seemingly not work? [03:03] Like [03:03] I used the same ISO as for the other install [03:03] Wubi installs it [03:03] Reboots [03:03] Ok, I just messed grub up. says i may need to re run my boot loader. Is there a way to correct grub possibly with say "aptitude"? [03:03] And then again, no option in Boot Manager. [03:03] thanks brjann [03:04] Soon as i reboot i will have problems [03:04] I'm trying to get a Wacom tablet set up, but I can't get the kernel wacom driver to recognize it. [03:04] nullp0inter, oops, i don't think you need \? just ? toward the end there [03:04] nullp0inter, you're welcome :) [03:05] hi [03:05] It shows up in lsusb, but there's no /dev/input entry for it. === saint_ is now known as Guest24010 [03:06] and /usr/sbin/update-grub is not working either. I get errors errors errors [03:11] Hi all! Where does x get its default setup when there is no /etc/X11/xorg.conf? [03:15] dsnyders, xorg autoprobes to try and guess what it should do [03:15] where is button 5? [03:16] yxmn2, zaxis usually (scroll) [03:17] flea, thanks [03:18] having trouble installing a gtk theme.. :( [03:18] brjann, mine is guessing wrong. It puts out a signal that my monitor cannot process. [03:20] dsnyders, where did your xorg.conf go? :) [03:21] anyone help me install this>? http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Black+plastic+2?content=80092 [03:22] brjann, After upgrading from 8.10 to 9.04 my X wasn't working properly. I was advised to delete it, at which point it started working at 800x600. When I put the previous xorg.conf back in place X stopped working again. [03:22] keep getting these error messages in user.log: pulseaudio[8620]: lock-autospawn.c: Cannot access autospawn lock.

[03:24] well usually I drag file into themes settings.. but it does nothing, doesn't even give me an error [03:24] D4m0n, that looks tight! XD [03:24] dsnyders, gotcha. you can try regenerating a brand new one with sudo Xorg -configure [03:24] D4m0n, when you untar it you'll find an info.txt that asks you to place the files in certain folders. Did you follow the information therein? [03:25] . [03:25] I'm downloading 10.04 alpha right now, how can I know if I have to have a swap partition or not? I'd rather not have one, and I have 4GB of ram. [03:25] brjann, fatal error. Server is already active for display 0 [03:25] It says to unzip the files into ~/.themes/ [03:25] neezer: why not have a swap file? [03:26] dsnyders, oh, you're in X now? sorry, thought you were on a different computer or something :) [03:26] neezer: 1) Lucid questions go in #ubuntu+1, 2) I have 4GB and no swap partition, and it works fine (except I don't get hibernation) [03:26] neezer, You only need a swap partition if you're going to be hibernating. I'd recommend one, but with 4gb you should be ok. === Guest11795 is now known as isp [03:26] I have a 2GB swap partition, and I have 4GB ram.

[03:27] !ask | wifiprob [03:27] wifiprob: 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. :-) [03:27] Serraphyn, I'd rather not put another partition on my laptop....I already have a few...I have a / partition for 9.10, and a /home partition. I made a 50GB /backup partition, but I want to load 10.04 on it to check it out...I don't back up my system anyways.... === syx is now known as Sunset [03:28] brjann, I think it is. I get an Input not supported error on my monitor when I go to CTRL-ALT-F7 === Sunset is now known as Guest33029 [03:29] dsnyders, gotcha. try and shut it down with sudo service gdm stop [03:29] neezer, You have 1 root (/) partition, 1 backup (50g) partition, and 1 /home partition? [03:30] neezer: IF you have a swap part made on the drive you could just use that too... [03:30] yes.. [03:30] hmmm...I do have a swap already...I think. [03:30] neezer, And you can't afford the 2-4 gigs for a swap partition? [03:30] any way I can check? [03:30] neezer, fdisk -l [03:30] brjann, service stopped. CTRL-ALT-F7 shows a blank "text" screen with a flashing underscore cursor in the top left corner.

[03:31] Lachance, I did have to do sudo....and yes I have a swap already. [03:31] do custom install and specify that swap part then [03:32] neezer, Then just leave it. =) [03:32] ok i installed ubuntu a few hours ago. and i dont know anything about it. i'm trying to connect to my wireless network but i cannot connect. i installed ndiswrapper. and it says my hardware is present. then i uninstalled network manager and installed wicd instead. but wicd says there's no wireless networks. [03:32] problem solved, and you are more efficient looking :P [03:32] brjann, lots of stuff. List of video drivers, etc. [03:32] Lachance, will 10.04 recognize that I already have a /swap? or am I going to have to mount it and possibly edit that text file for mounting partitions...I forgot the name, and where it is. [03:32] dsnyders, ok. does /etc/X11/xorg.conf exist now? [03:32] wifiprob, what type of wireless adapter are you using? [03:33] brjann, there is a line that says: Using config file: "/root/xorg.conf.new" [03:33] neezer, It'll recognize it. [03:33] dsnyders, oh, okay. was your old broken xorg.conf still in place? [03:33] it's airties wus-300 [03:33] wifiprob, run lspci | grep network [03:33] wifiprob, Oh, =P good job. [03:34] brjann, there is no /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. [03:34] how do i run that? i really have no idea about linux. i installed it 3 hours ago. [03:34] dsnyders: buy chance is this an Nvidia setup? [03:35] wifiprob, Since you know your network card then don't worry about it. [03:35] dsnyders, interesting, i thought it would put the new one in place then. no matter. sudo mv /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf [03:35] Serraphyn, yes [03:35] wifiprob, ok run iwconfig, see what you get... [03:35] wifiprob, For future reference, you'd run something like that in a Terminal. (Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal) [03:35] dsnyders: tried running nvidia-xconfig? [03:35] Serraphyn, nVidia GeForce2 MX 400, to be specific [03:36] lagged [03:36] greezmunkey i did that it says no wireless extensions and there is a wlan7 [03:36] Hey guys [03:36] dsnyders: to get nvidia working right after updating hardware drives I usualyl have to run nvidia-xconfig it builds a new xorg.conf file for you that nvidia-settings can work with [03:37] touch screen ubuntu drivers [03:38] wifiprob, sorry about that, I was lagged bad... [03:38] dsnyders: course you will need to run it with sudo [03:38] Hi. I'm following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick ; result (from OS X) seems to be an ISO fs on the stick that won't boot [03:38] quit [03:39] the hdiutil convert step seems to be a no-op if that helps (md5 of the orig. iso = md5 of the "converted" img file) [03:39] greezmunkey, i did iwconfig. lo no wireless extensions. eth 0 no wireless extensions and wlan7 ieee 802.11g essid:off/any mode: managed....

[03:40] yes usb [03:40] hey guys [03:41] i want some advice, what is the best download manager for ubuntu karmic [03:41] and can it be integrated into firefox? [03:41] Hmm [03:41] Dunno [03:41] wifiprob, ok. Try this, open a terminal, type tail -f /var/log/syslog - then remove your adapter, wait a sec, then reinsert. See what you get. [03:41] d4n1, What do you mean? [03:42] Do you guys know of a good random everything irc channel? [03:42] Lachance: a download manager, it manages your downloads, u can pause, and continue later on [03:43] bnzelener: hm. #hottub ? [03:43] Hahaha [03:43] Cute. [03:43] Joined. [03:43] d4n1, I just use the one included with Firefox - it does all that. =) [03:43] no, seriously. We had one over on Undernet, before the lamers joined it. [03:43] Can someone tell me if it's possible to "throw" a window? Lets say I clicked and dragged a window, then let go whilst dragging.

[03:58] Wish I knew why your apt-get doesn't know what the hostname is, even though the rest of your system does. [03:58] brjann, no, before [03:58] What's in your /etc/resolv.conf ? [03:58] ooohhhhmnnnaaaa [03:58] Does anyone know anything about conky? [03:58] Is you are any cops? [03:58] g00dwill, init 1?

[04:00] Viking667 : pls have a look at my resolv.conf http://pastebin.ca/1811272 [04:00] dsnyders, ok, i half-expected that if your system is in a state of weirdness w.r.t. nvidia drivers :) [04:00] dsnyders, try the Xorg -configure one? [04:00] Viking667 : in the last part which is sudo aptitude install w32codecs ... works find [04:00] Does anyone know anything about conky? It won't work, I installed from repos [04:00] find/fine [04:01] g00dwill, have you tried running 'sudo /sbin/init 1' from a window? [04:01] dlynes: my user is not in the sudo file. I'm locked out. [04:01] l000: may be because the hostname to grab those packages from, isn't packages.medibuntu.org [04:01] dlynes: probably need the install disk I'm thinking. [04:02] brjann, do you want me to erase the xorg.conf first and then do the Xorg -configure? [04:02] don't erase, move. [04:03] how do i enable coolbits for 2 1768mb 295GTX's in sli? [04:03] or 4 gpu's [04:03] dsnyders, move it to xorg.conf.old or something and then mv /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf (since we generated it before) [04:04] g00dwill, why not boot up with a live cd, and then mount your existing hard drive, and then chroot it? [04:04] can anyone help me out??? When i log in a warning comes up telling me I am being logged in without admin privalages?? [04:04] umbrellaz [04:04] g00dwill, or better yet, if you have to redownload, just download debian netinstall, and mount and chroot [04:05] g00dwill, change what you need to change, and then reboot back into the hard drive [04:05] naidu, are you still looking for a solution? [04:05] g00dwill, debian net install is only about 54MB's, and it gives you almost full console functionality [04:05] dsnyders: did you do the sudo nvidia-xconfig? [04:06] Serraphyn, Yes and no. I did a sudo -i long ago since I'd be doing a lot of stuff that needed sudo. [04:06] Does ubuntu give you the ability to a fully customized, automated install? [04:06] Kickstart doesn't seem to offer me everything i need to do... [04:06] brjann, http://pastebin.com/NCccqhue [04:06] more erros [04:06] dlynes: Yep, check out Uck. [04:07] errors [04:07] can anyone tell me how I can regain admin priv. upon logging on? [04:07] is there a driver for linksys wmp300n on ubuntu? [04:07] using the latest version [04:07] bob_: you want permanent admi? [04:07] dsnyders, interesting. okay, one more hail-mary [04:08] brjann, replace the computer? [04:08] yes. for some reason all of a sudden when i log on it tells me i am logging on without admin priv. [04:08] ?? [04:08] !sudo | bob_ [04:08] bob_: 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) [04:08] dsnyders, haha, not quite there yet :) go ahead and rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf since we can recreate it if we need to and it's broken anyway [04:08] Does anyone know anything about conky? It won't work, I installed from repos it is giving me errors. http://pastebin.com/jQDE0Lse [04:08] bob_: does it say if an application is wanting admin privledgs? [04:09] dsnyders, then sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [04:09] hello?? [04:09] no just i am logging on without [04:09] markd: have you checked google? [04:09] i need help about my wireless adapter. i installed ndiswrapper and installed the driver for windows. ndiswrapper says hardware is present but wicd doesnt show any wireless networks [04:09] yes i found a answer on ubuntu forums but i need to be connected to the internet to install the driver [04:09] which im not [04:10] brjann, Oooh, a text interface... [04:10] is there a way to install driver without being connected or can idownload on another computer and transfer it to that computer using a usb drive? [04:10] Does anyone know anything about conky? It won't work, I installed from repos it is giving me errors. http://pastebin.com/jQDE0Lse [04:10] When I attempt to install Ubuntu 9.10 on my server, it fails to install grub. I think this is because my chipset detects as a raid even though I'm not using a raid. I'm supposed to replace grub2 with grub1.x instead? Does anyone have an idea of how I can fix this using the included install disc? [04:10] dsnyders, do not disparage ncurses! ;) [04:10] bob_: it's normal not to have root when you login [04:11] dlynes: I haven't used debian net install; I'll give it try once I'm off verizon wireless ;) [04:11] Nooneshere, pastebin your conky rc [04:11] Nooneshere: You have to customize Conky for your computer. It's looking for things on the computer of whoever's Conky file you're using. [04:11] Nooneshere, or is it standard ? [04:11] it says ineed something called ndiswrapper how do i install this? [04:11] brjann, That was an Ooo of appreciation. I've been looking for something like that ever since the initial foulup. [04:12] markd, yes. you can download the .deb file and move it over with USB stick. Just make sure you grab the right .deb [04:12] I tried with standerd and with some from UbuntuForums. Here it is. http://pastebin.com/i77taXc5 [04:12] markd, you could use synaptics delayed install feature [04:12] yes but when i run sudo & command in term it tells me i cant [04:12] dsnyders, oh! happy to oblige :) let's hope it works [04:12] ndiswrapper is not listed in synaptic [04:12] where do i download it from? [04:13] it asks my password & then tells me i dont have privalages [04:13] bob_: ah, not good. Go to user and group management, make sure you're in the sudoers group [04:14] markd, 1) open synaptics 2) select packages to install 3) file -> generate download script 4) save to usb drive 5) move drive to internet connected machine 6a) if computer is linux : run script 6b) else copy paste each url you see in the script file (text file) and paste it to your browser 7) copy resulting deb files back to usb drive 8) plug back into your offline machine 9) file -> load files [04:14] dsnyders, here's a bit of a walkthrough if any of the steps look frightening. http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/columns/how_to_fix_your_computers_graphics_with_dpkg-reconfigure [04:14] littlebear, uck does the trick? it seemed like it was only for creating live cd's, not automated installs? [04:14] bob_: this is after you've logged in right? Is it allowing you to even login? === techqbert_ is now known as techqbert [04:14] littlebear, basically i was wanting to have an extremely trimmed down ubuntu that's a fully automated install [04:14] Nooneshere: You have to go through the .conkyrc file line by line and make sure all the paths and information in it are valid for your computer. [04:15] littlebear, and then there's other certain packages i needed installed as well, including some restricted packages [04:15] Thank you [04:15] yes it lets me log in & everything seems fine untill i try running anything that neds priv. [04:15] markd, ndiswrapper should be on your install cd... if not : http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/n/ [04:15] @airtonix ndiswrapper is not listed in synaptic [04:15] littlegirl, uck does the trick? it seemed like it was only for creating live cd's, not automated installs? [04:15] littlegirl, and then there's other certain packages i needed installed as well, including some restricted packages [04:15] should i start from the cd and install it? [04:15] brjann, It asked me a bunch of questions about my keyboard and then finished. There is a new xorg.conf [04:15] littlegirl, and some bash shell scripts i need to run as well [04:15] dlynes: What do you mean by automated installs? [04:15] & yes it shows me in user & groups [04:16] littlegirl, no interaction from the end user [04:16] dlynes: It will accept bash shell scripts. It's fully customizable. [04:16] ide for web application [04:16] littlegirl, just slap in a boot cd, and walk away [04:16] dlynes: Not sure about that, but you can find out here: http://uck.sourceforge.net/ [04:16] markd, your install cd should already be a listed source, insert it and reload your repositry listing [04:16] dlynes: Yep, that should be possible. [04:16] littlegirl, maybe have about 50mb's worth of files on the cd, and the rest it grabs from the network [04:17] dsnyders, cross your fingers and sudo service gdm start [04:17] brjann, startx gives me this: (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found) [04:17] [04:17] Good night all! (At least for me, it's 22:16) [04:17] Conky keeps on wanting localhost. Do i need to set up LAMPP for something? [04:17] littlegirl, i've got the entire ubuntu site mirrored locally [04:17] markd, info here : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=263168 [04:17] hi [04:17] dlynes: You can define which packages it installs automatically, and set up your own additional scripts, customize the colors and design, logo, you name it. [04:17] dlynes: Ah, then you can easily define that mirror as the source for all packages. [04:17] Mark22, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=434411 [04:17] littlegirl, ok, cool...it sounded like it was only for live cds when i looked at it [04:17] markd, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=434411 [04:17] ide for web app? [04:17] littlegirl, thanks very much [04:18] ... [04:18] dsnyders, booo [04:18] dlynes: It is, but you can design them however you like. (: [04:18] dlynes: Live CDs can run Ubuntu and install it. (: [04:19] Conky keeps on wanting localhost. Do i need to set up LAMPP for something? [04:19] well its getting late here 23:15 Guess I'll try again tomorrow. Thanks for the help [04:19] got it [04:19] installing from the cd [04:19] dsnyders, and you said you reinstalled the nvidia hardware drivers, right? [04:19] brjann, yes [04:19] now how do i configure it? [04:20] markd, you need the windows drivers for your wifi card first [04:20] Nooneshere: You shouldn't have to set up LAMP for Conky. [04:20] dsnyders, :( i'm about out of ideas [04:20] i think i have the orgininal cd [04:20] from linksys [04:21] It keeps on wanting to find localhost via port 6600 [04:21] Nooneshere: What does your .conkyrc look like? [04:21] ok so i have the cd [04:21] what does it mean for a package to be 'held back' when doing an upgrade? [04:21] markd, the file ndiswrapper wants to look at is an *.inf file (but you'll need to have the related dll etc files with that inf file) [04:21] 'kept back' sorry [04:21] how do I make my LCD monitor portrait landscape [04:21] http://pastebin.com/i77taXc5 is my conky file. [04:21] andre: I think it means it won't be upgraded, but I'm not sure. [04:22] markd, so this means that if your drivers are contained in an *.exe.... you'll also need to install wine [04:22] @airtonix i haev the install cd [04:22] have* [04:22] littlegirl: i know that it wont be, but I want to know why, and how I can make it. :) [04:22] markd, yes ... read up ^^^ [04:22] Sorry wrong one. http://pastebin.com/nRLn0Ktg [04:22] brjann, Hang on... I did an aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic'|grep -i nvidia and only nvidia-glx-180 was displayed. [04:22] so the cd should have all those files no? [04:22] markd, one would assume so. [04:23] andre: Got it. I have instructions for that. Hang on. [04:23] so then all i need to do is insert the cd? [04:23] markd, its your job to identify the right files required... [04:23] dsnyders, that's no good. maybe sudo aptitude reinstall nvidia-common [04:23] is there a guide somewhere that tells you how to do this? [04:23] by mistake issued the command dd if=diskboot.img of=/dev/sda any possibility to recover [04:23] dsnyders, see if that pulls in the other dependencies [04:23] dlynes: How can I work with debian net install while using vmware. Do I download from within Ubuntu or my other os running vmware? [04:24] andre_pl: Instructions. (: http://mostlylinux.wordpress.com/packagemanagement/lockpackages/ [04:24] is there a way I can serve files on a home LAN from a ubuntu machine to a windows machine?

I had done a CTRL-ALT-F1 to issue the command and when I did CTRL-ALT-F7 to get back to the x display, it was back to the blank text screen with the underscore cursor. I'm restarting x to try again. Stand by... [04:38] markd, (personally i think it would be easier if you installed wine and went down the path of using ndiswrapper) [04:38] PratikAnand, well, not preinstalled, but you can install Google Chrome (what I use), Songbird (instead of Rhythmbox), etc. [04:38] wine isn't on the install cd [04:38] PratikAnand: you can use remastersys to make your own iso with any packages you want [04:38] so do i need to get it on another computer and put it on a ubs drive? [04:39] markd, yes... or you could just unplug the ethernet cable from this computer and plug it into your offline machine [04:39] Any idea littlegirl? [04:39] Nooneshere: If you didn't comment out the line that says that in the .conkyrc file I think that means it's working and you're seeing the text from the file. [04:39] PratikAnand: look at the chromium-browser package, along with chromium-codecs-ffmpeg and chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-nonfree [04:39] this computer is wireless [04:39] my modem is in the living room [04:39] PratikAnand: i think i use a custom ppa for chromium but i forget what it is [04:39] I commented it out. Its not there anymore. [04:39] Nooneshere: Comment out that line and replace it with HELLO WORLD and see if you get HELLO WORLD when you run it. If so, it's working and it just needs to be configured with what you want to see. (: [04:40] most of my computers are wireless except for my mac mini [04:40] markd, then yes ... you need to transfer files via usb drive [04:40] ok [04:40] ill do that [04:40] i do have one more question though [04:40] its much shorter [04:40] lol [04:40] is anyone here using the screensavers from xscreensaver-data-extra or xscreensaver-gl-extra with gnome-screensaver successfully? [04:40] brjann, xvinfo reports Screen #0 No adapters present. [04:40] What lines? Line 155? [04:40] I mean 115? [04:41] dsnyders, but X is running again? o_O [04:41] on this same computer i have windows 7 installed however when i select windows 7 in grub it just reboots the computer it doesn't start windows [04:41] Nooneshere: Lines 115 and 166 in the paste you did here: http://pastebin.com/VtKvKqsv [04:41] brjann, yes. That was from an xterm window [04:41] Nooneshere: The line numbers might not be the same in your editor. You'll want to comment the content that's on those lines in the paste. [04:42] dsnyders, uh. okay, i did not expect that. :) [04:42] Its still not working. I think i may just do my biannually computer wipe early, and retry. I think its because of other issues. [04:42] did you see my question? [04:42] Hm [04:43] Hi evryone [04:43] !hi | matiz [04:43] matiz: 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! [04:43] In Jaunty, if cdrom disk was not present, cdrom did not appear in Places, now i have "cdrom0" there. Can i get it back like before? [04:43] dsnyders, i'm about out of ideas. the only other thing I can really think of is using the restricted driver manager to disable everything, reboot, and use the restricted driver manager to turn nvidia back on [04:43] because i'm too lazy to say hi myself... [04:43] Nooneshere: That's an awfully big .conkyrc. You could try another one before giving up on it. [04:43] I will. Thank you very much littlegirl [04:44] brjann, hang on... a thought occurs... [04:44] theadmin, What's the problem with cdrom0? [04:44] Nooneshere: Sure. I wish I could have helped you. Hopefully somebody else in here can! [04:44] ever since i upgrade to 2.6.32.x kernel on my 9.10, i have no more freeze [04:44] dsnyders, uh oh [04:44] Lachance: Nothing, but i don't want something useless in the menu ;) [04:45] markd: try installing the bmcwl-kernel-source package - that should work for your wifi... [04:45] markd: and you won't have to deal with ndiswrapper or wine or anything like that. [04:45] theadmin, It's a virtual cdrom for specific issues. That's not essentially "useless". ;) [04:45] is that in synaptic? [04:45] It is most likely because i hacked a different architecture on this system. It was a very hard and bad move. [04:46] markd: yes, it's in the official ubuntu repos [04:46] Lachance: Hm. Well, it's still there even when i DISCONNECT the cdrom DEVICE, which is freaking me out, it's way too weird [04:46] brjann, I checked the proprietary drivers tool, and it looks like the nvidia driver is not active. I'm going to activate it. stand by... [04:46] No worries. Gday [04:46] markd: either in universe or multiverse... one of those. [04:47] hey guess what [04:47] i installed b43 and reboted [04:47] Lol - theadmin there's a ton of stuff on your system that is "useless". The best thing to do is simply to ignore it and feel reassured that when you need it - it is there. [04:47] Nooneshere: If you start with a very small .conkyrc file that doesn't require any paths or network connections or anything and make sure you get a display of some sort, then you can build on that bit by bit with what you'd like to see (temperatures, hard drive space, etc.). [04:47] now my adapter is seen [04:47] Lachance: Well... okay :D [04:47] magic [04:47] lol [04:47] markd: heh nice [04:49] it shows me 2 drivers [04:49] b43 and something called sta [04:49] Songbird is like the best media player I've ever used. I think we should boot rhythmbox and have songbird come preinstalled. [04:49] ...dunno, i never liked anything except VLC [04:49] hey as long as it works [04:50] Let's not start a flamewar, Lachance [04:50] theadmin, Lol! I'm just commenting. [04:50] Lachance: I never really liked songbird much... [04:50] Switch10, Any specific issues? (I've only been using it a week) [04:50] That's what Linux is good for, you can remove anything you don't need. [04:50] @nanotube do you know why when i restart my computer and try to enter windows 7 grub reboots the computer? [04:51] theadmin, I'd completely disagree with that. [04:51] markd: Missing ntldr most likely. Windows issue [04:51] how do i fix it? [04:51] markd: no idea... i don't dual boot. :) [04:51] brjann, rebooting... stand by... [04:51] markd, That could be a lot of issues. [04:51] dsnyders, i'm sitting down out of spite. [04:51] do i need to run a boot fix? [04:51] Lachance: I like the plugins etc, but it freezes on me at times. I have a 200 gb library though [04:51] on windows? === Out_Cold_ is now known as Guest97325 [04:52] will that remove grub? [04:52] markd, Yeah, with windows - not grub. [04:52] markd: I dunno, i only have one idea, reinstall windows. I dualboot XP and Ubuntu on dualboot, everything is quite smooth. [04:52] Switch10, I only use the Last.fm plugin. I haven't had it freeze yet, but my library isn't near that big. =P [04:52] But be prepared to have a Ubuntu livecd at hand to reinstall GRUB, markd === david is now known as Guest49247 [04:52] Viking667 thanks :) [04:52] this is complex [04:52] lol [04:53] markd: Lol no, just grub-install /dev/whatever [04:53] Lachance: ya it would freeze when loading my library. The lyrics plugin is pretty cool [04:53] not for you but for me [04:53] im a linux noob [04:53] i mean ive played with it [04:53] markd: Well, i was one a year ago too... I see. [04:53] Switch10, I haven't played with that. =P Tho, to be honest - I know the lyrics to all my music, so I don't have much need for a plugin for that. [04:54] Mpg321 is my favorite player :) [04:54] Switch10, I'll look into that! [04:54] so if i put in the windows 7 disk do i a boot fix then i have to reinstall grub? [04:54] or will it leave grub alone? [04:54] markd: It WON'T leave it. Windows IS stupid, it puts it's bootloader in master boot record even if something is already there [04:54] markd: if u reinstall win7 it will mess up grub [04:54] markd: are you trying to duel boot or something? [04:54] markd: the firts you said [04:55] first* === LBSources- is now known as LBSources [04:55] hey how do i change grub to boot windows ? [04:55] markd, When you the grub menu pulls up - what do you do? You select Windows, then what happens? Does windows begin to boot up? Do you see any splash screens? Etc. [04:55] I installed WUBI [04:55] inside Windows 7 then modified the loader to go into grub2 [04:55] gooooo: You'll have to install Windows and then reinstall GRUB [04:55] theadmin, lol - totally agreed. Windows OWNS MBR no matter what might be there. [04:55] try that [04:55] brjann, I got a nice login screen, then I got an arrow cursor, then... the monitor displaying Input not supported [04:55] @llachance no i select windows and the computer reboots [04:55] theadmin i see it in the menu [04:55] Balmer wants to make sure you understand that you WILL use Windows and you WILL like it. [04:55] if i click ubuntu it boots fine [04:55] and it was installed first [04:56] i tried adding make active or setdefault to /boot/grub/grub.cfg [04:56] hey can anyone give me a link on how to install a new kernal? [04:56] but i've never had to do it suse has a nice manager for it [04:56] gooooo: Oh so it just doesn't boot, weird... [04:56] no it boots [04:56] but its not default [04:56] Cynofield, I can find one. One moment... [04:56] markd: u can't boot windows but u can Ubuntu u say right? [04:56] ta. [04:56] Cynofield, are you compiling your own kernel? [04:57] Cynofield: Supported kernels should be installed automatically from upgrade manager, others... well, i'm not sure it's a good idea to install unsupported ones [04:57] dsnyders, boo. [04:57] yes @hellhound666 [04:57] is there a grub editor other than notepad ? [04:57] mano? [04:57] gooooo: nano [04:57] nano [04:57] Cynofield, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile [04:57] dsnyders, however! your system might now be in a state where nvidia-xconfig may actually work. [04:57] gooooo: Err, nano, vim, Kate, any text editor [04:57] lol [04:57] brjann, service gdm stop followed by startx brought me back to an 800x600 display. [04:57] i mean gui specifically for it [04:58] gooooo: gedit [04:58] Cynofield, please remember that once you install a new kernel we will only be able to provide you very limited support. [04:58] gooooo: Hm, i know of one, let me look the name up [04:58] Lachance, ta. and im trying to install i gather : http://kernel.org/ download from there then get it to use the rt2x00 drivers from the latest git === Bash is now known as Bash23 [04:58] gooooo: you can always gksudo gedit assuming x is running [04:58] what would i have to do to my grub.cfg to make windows the default boot ? [04:58] i see it in the list it works but its not the default [04:59] Cynofield, it's best to download and compile your own new kernel for such an issue (not difficult, though most documentation makes it sound like it is) then implement the new kernel. [04:59] markd: u say it just reboots automatically? [04:59] what do u mean by "your own new kernel" (sorry for dumb questions) [04:59] brjann, did you want me to do the nvidia-xconfig? If so, should I do it from an xterm window? [04:59] I think if you have the DVD u can repair it on boot [05:00] yes [05:00] hellhound666 [05:00] Cynofield, this... is kind of a complex issue if you don't know that much. Are you sure you're up for this? It can completely nuke your system if you mess up... [05:00] u try that? [05:00] gooooo: an editor specific for GRUB is called StartUp Manager, it's available in repositories, look for it in software center, dunno the package name [05:00] dsnyders, yes, and yes [05:00] hey cool thanks [05:00] Like I said I just installed WUBI inside windows and it worked just the same. [05:01] help, fstab says my cdrom is on /dev/scd0 but doesn't exist [05:01] well little problem with the wbldr [05:01] gooooo: iirc the startup manager is called "sum" [05:01] Lachance, yeah i dont mind. im actually using BT4 tbh. and for some reason this IP that im on (open access point) is banned from their irc channel [05:01] er wubildr [05:01] Cynofield, here you go buddy -> http://www.linuxforums.org/articles/the-newbies-guide-to-compiling-your-first-kernel_272.html [05:01] Lachance, so i can here for the next best thing [05:01] hmm its not available on mint [05:01] It really does not get any more simple than a guide like that... [05:02] is there a program in ubuntu that I can run thats like audacity, but for video? [05:02] Roasted: Pitivi [05:02] theadmin thanks bro [05:02] HOw do I list packages by repository. eg I want to see which packages I have installed come from -universe; how do I do that quickly? [05:02] Roasted: you mean, you want to edit video? [05:02] thx Lachance [05:03] hello [05:03] nanotube - just a recorder. like I want to record my dog doing something on my webcam and send it to family. [05:03] how can I remotely control an XP computer from an ubuntu pc ? [05:03] nanotube - just think of audacity, except with video too [05:03] Cynofield, you are using the realname of root. it's that name that is banned... change your ident in the client [05:03] ruby_on_tails: vlc [05:03] Cynofield, the basics are download your kernel, open the kernel's menu, customize your kernel, compile your kernel, name your kernel something sexy, implement your kernel - then rip your skin off with your bare hands when you discover you messed up 8 hours of work or thank God for your genius when it works. [05:03] ruby_on_tails: There are many solutions, i recommend VNC [05:03] arakthor, synaptic has an "origin" filter that will do that [05:03] Hey Guys, I just updated to Aplha3 and now I can't get Ubuntu out of Low Graphics Mode.. :( [05:03] Switch10: VNC, not vlc, vlc is a media player [05:03] Ya sorry [05:03] Guest97325, oh zzzzzzz fail by me... thx [05:04] mjs7231: Lucid support in #ubuntu+1 [05:04] Vnc [05:04] woops closed on accident [05:04] thanks [05:04] brjann: I'm looking for a way in CLI [05:04] I dont see a way to record in pitivi? [05:04] help, fstab says my cdrom is on /dev/scd0 but doesn't exist [05:04] theadmin: I need to install something on my XP machine ? [05:04] I should have mentioned that [05:04] Lachance, yeah tell me about it.. hahaah thx bro [05:04] Roasted: Oh... Sorry... [05:04] Roasted: try 'cheese' to record from webcam [05:04] No owrries [05:04] ruby_on_tails: Actually on both, a VNC server and client [05:04] hmm [05:04] brjann, restarted x. The System>Preferences>display has brought up the nvidia control window. [05:04] markd: just curious did u fix yer problem yet? [05:04] http://www.realvnc.com/ this one theadmin ? [05:05] ruby_on_tails: I however stick to jrdesktop, it's kinda simplier [05:05] well course I wouldn't know yet duh === Guest97325 is now known as Out_Cold [05:05] ruby_on_tails: There are tons of them, any one will do [05:05] dsnyders, that sounds promising? [05:05] theadmin: any free one ? [05:05] I basically want to use photoshop on the xp machine via VNC, so will it be fast enough ? and its on lan [05:05] ruby_on_tails: they r all free try vinagre as well [05:05] Who wants to bet that Cynofield comes back in 9 hours and wants to know why his box crashes whenever anyone touches the power button...? === jesse_ is now known as Flare-Laptop [05:05] ruby_on_tails: Well, just any :D Any that has a Linux and a Windows version of course. Although you can use different clients too [05:06] i did the weirdest thing to get my resolution working.... ctrl + alt + keypad minus a couple times to change the resolution [05:06] xorg is just full of mystery's [05:06] realvnc is paid, I will look for vinarge [05:06] anyhow thanks for the help [05:06] keep a tight bum [05:06] arakthor, sorry, not as much of a wizard with the apt cli tools :) [05:07] brjann, it does sound promising. It's not detecting my monitor, and it is only allowing 800x600 and 640x400. [05:07] ruby_on_tails: vinaigre ? [05:07] Viking667: what Switch10 said [05:07] Viking667: vinagre most likely %) A GNOME VNC client [05:07] brjann, no worries; it's a bit of an odd one to be honest. [05:07] help, fstab says my cdrom is on /dev/scd0 but doesn't exist [05:08] kanuha, so you popped in a CD and you're trying to access it? [05:08] dsnyders, but it's actually running the nvidia driver now? [05:09] I'm a dev of fceux (nes emulator). are there any experienced users here that wouldn't mind helping me test netplay? i'm trying to ready it for the release [05:09] Lachance, yes, a window comes up and asks me what I want to do, but when I select open brasero it says there isn't a disk in the drive. [05:10] kanuha, Do you see the CD displayed on the desktop? [05:10] Lachance, it worked before, but something changed. [05:10] Lachance, yes [05:10] kanuha, And it is a music CD? o.O [05:11] Or blank CD, my bad [05:11] the vinagre install file says I need these - gtk+ >= 2.12 - glib >= 2.15.3 - libglade-2.0 - gconf-2.0 - gnome-keyring - gtk-vnc widget >= 0.3.5 (http://gtk-vnc.sf.net) - avahi-gobject and avahi-ui >= 0.6.22 - libpanelapplet-2.0 >= 2.0.0 where do I get these ? [05:11] blank [05:11] * Lachance is really tired [05:11] ruby_on_tails, apt-get install [05:11] I use synapetic [05:11] is that ok ? [05:11] brjann, It seems to be running the nvidia driver, as far as I can tell. [05:12] ruby_on_tails, apt-get install is faster/easier, if you already know what you need. [05:12] kanuha, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/brasero/+bug/181703 [05:12] EntityReborn: so I should typ in sudo apt-get gtk+ >= 2.12 ? [05:12] I've got someone over here that wants to isntall itunes on his iphone... [05:12] dsnyders, well yay. that's something, at least. but i need to afk for a bit before my eyes fall out :) [05:12] ruby_on_tails, do sudo apt-get install vinagre, and it will install the dependancies for you [05:12] how can this be done via ubuntu? [05:12] Lachance, I checked fstab and it says my cdrom is device /dev/scd0, but that doesn't exist. [05:12] Lachance, I installed k3b and same thing [05:13] brjann, you have been a tremendous help. I thank you. [05:13] kanuha, One moment... [05:13] dsnyders, you're welcome! sorry we haven't made much progress [05:13] kanuha: Hm, does "ls -la /dv | grep 'scd'" return anything? [05:13] EntityReborn: I alrerady had it installed :D [05:13] ruby_on_tails, :P [05:13] but how do I install this on my windows machine ? [05:13] oh [05:13] kanuha: Err, "ls -la /dev | grep 'scd'" [05:13] erm [05:14] don't know if vinagre is windows compatible [05:14] oh [05:14] bleh [05:14] brjann, we've made a lot of progress as far as I'm concerned. I'm going to cut and paste some of the lines from my 8.10 xorg.conf to see if I can get the resolution up to a usable level. [05:14] use TinyVNC or something [05:14] ruby_on_tails: it's fine do a google search for windows vnc [05:14] !vnc [05:14] VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX === ZombindPower is now known as WindPower [05:14] sorry, tightVNC, ruby_on_tails [05:15] ruby_on_tails: i bet that wiki article links to some vnc clients [05:15] ruby_on_tails: you don't need the same app [05:15] Switch10: yea did that already :P [05:15] oh [05:15] EntityReborn: howdy! :) [05:15] hmm [05:15] brjann, The important thing is that I have x working again... sort of. [05:15] nanotube, supsup [05:15] dsnyders, not a bad idea. some of the settings unhidden by the advanced button in nvidia-settings might be of help too [05:15] Lachance, takes me to a blank cli prompt [05:15] dsnyders, but! before you do anything, cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf ~/xorg.conf.sortofworking ;) [05:15] kanuha, theadmin suggested it. I'm just watching [05:16] brjann, good thought. [05:16] hey everyone, I have a script where I start firefox& and then initiate an ssh connection. See pastebin: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/8G7FFRvE . What I want to do is terminate the ssh connection when firefox closes. Is this possible? [05:16] kanuha, you don't see solrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2010-02-25 19:02 scd0 -> sr0mething like this -> [05:16] Oops [05:16] Something like -> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2010-02-25 19:02 scd0 -> sr0 [05:16] theadmin, just returns a blcnk cli prompt === demonspork_ is now known as demonspork [05:18] kanuha: Hm, it means device indeed does not exist [05:18] Lachance, no, just takes me to xxxx@xxxx-xxxx:~$ [05:19] theadmin, how do I find out what the device is? [05:19] Hm. If an app causes a segmentation fault it will be closed or will kernel panic happen? [05:19] kanuha: Actually, now i've no idea, it's weirdness of some sort [05:19] vinagre == remote desktop viewer :| [05:19] I'm just trying to watch one video... what happens next: A huge memory leak (everything freezes) and Firefox crashes. [05:20] theadmin, isn't there a command that shows your hardware devices and addresses [05:20] ruby_on_tails: correct that is what u want [05:21] kanuha: if it's something you can remove and plugin, dmesg would show it [05:21] any ideas anyone? [05:21] kanuha: Hm... yeah... uh... sudo fdisk -l [05:21] Hi all! Is there such a thing as a diff editor? Something that shows two files and allows cut/paste either to a third or to one of the two? [05:21] MilitantPotato, I'm on a laptop [05:22] ok I installed tightvnc on my xp machine and turned on the vnc server [05:22] omg [05:22] it works [05:22] :D [05:22] ruby_on_tails: now access it through vinagre [05:22] :"> [05:22] la la la [05:22] ruby_on_tails: there ya go :) [05:23] Also, any ideas why Ubuntu live CD has GPartED, but it's removed when you install? [05:23] hello how could I check what wifi driver I'm using? [05:24] thanks everyone [05:24] Most people do all their partitioning during the install, not after I'm guessing [05:24] theadmin, because once you've installed you've already gone past the part where you need to partition things? [05:24] I use it frequently for flash drives though, wish they'd leave it installed. [05:24] hmm, why can't I pasre images from ubuntu into xp photoshop ? [05:24] theadmin: I imagine because you have to unmount before you do anything with gparted. Unless u have other partitions most people have no need for it [05:25] Stupid question: I accidently hit control+j and I don't know how to zoom back out. Hard [05:25] paste* [05:25] theadmin: just do sudo apt-get install gparted [05:25] to find out with it zoomed in so far :/ [05:25] MilitantPotato, well, it's only a sudo apt-get away. [05:25] though, this is pretty slow [05:25] can't work on photoshop :P [05:25] dsnyders: yep. [05:26] Losha: Yeah i know, i just found that weird [05:26] brb [05:26] Hm, dunno, but i needed GPartED to partition my external drive [05:27] theadmin: ya Install it right away as well [05:27] theadmin: MilitantPotato had a good explanation. Too many apps that aren't used often just bloat an installation [05:27] Losha: ie the gimp [05:29] I mistakenly made my vista containing folder as swap, now how to remove the swap and make it mountable [05:30] how do I change a monitor from Landscape to portrait with Nvidia drivers. Nvidia-settings doesn't seem to have the option in it. [05:30] guys If I disable ACPI my graphic interface becomes really slow, how can I debug this issue? [05:30] esicam: did you actually swap on it? [05:30] Losha, no i have another swap area which is being used but i marked that also as swap area [05:31] and for example apps like google earth say that I don't have 3d render but glxinfo say that I have it [05:31] and for example apps like google earth say that I don't have 3d render but glxinfo say that I have it [05:32] esicam: you said 'folder'. Do you actually mean partition? [05:35] Is there somewhere I can download a package of the 2.6.33 kernel for Ubuntu 8.04.4? [05:38] LinuxGuy2009: I am still using 2.6.31 in Karmic ... [05:39] LinuxGuy2009: The mainline PPA has a copy at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.33/ . That site is completely unrecommended, unsupported, and if it breaks things you get to keep both pieces. There's no official package of 2.6.33 for Hardy. [05:39] installed fluxbox, selected Nautlius from the menu and my Gnome desktop appeared. Now I don't know, how to get the fluxbox-menu, since Nautlius is handling the Desktop. Do I have to kill X? [05:39] LinuxGuy2009: *maybe* http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/. But the whole point of an LTS release is *not* to use the bleeding edge so it stays (relatively) stable.... [05:39] rww: whats the latest kernel for Karmic? [05:39] hey, how can use the external monitor, connected to my 9.10 laptop to be the primary, where all the toolbars etc are? [05:39] "Default search engine has been changed to Yahoo! Default Home Page will use either Google or Yahoo! depending on user setting." Ok whose getting a backhander? or is this cos Mozilla is upset with google? === Web-sidux721 is now known as jc [05:40] hello [05:40] zetheroo: Ubuntu doesn't upgrade to new major kernels after release. Karmic released with 2.6.31, and thus still has 2.6.31. [05:40] erm, does anyone know how to install "mumble-server" on Ubuntu [05:40] apparently, the repos only have the old version [05:40] rww: oh i see [05:40] the commands they provide on their website do not work [05:40] zetheroo: 2.6.31-19, to be specific [05:40] usermode +r [05:41] anyone? [05:43] jc: http://mumble.sourceforge.net/Installing_Mumble#Ubuntu [05:43] *sigh* [05:43] alright all, i have an issue regarding drives and ubuntu 9.10: i have two hardrives of the same model, and as such they have the same base UUID.. it this going to pose an issue when io go to install? [05:43] hi rww [05:43] well, the instructions provided on that page [05:43] do not work [05:43] there is no command apt-add-repository or whatever it is [05:43] jc: Which version of Ubuntu are you using? [05:44] I know it's kinda offtopic, but does anyone know what is this subtitle format called? : http://pastebin.com/AYZnqX1H [05:44] I'm running 8.04 LTS rww [05:44] Gartral: shouldn't be a problem. As soon as you create partitions, they will be given unique UUIDs [05:45] jc: ah, that would be why. add-apt-repository is new in Karmic. [05:45] jc: In fact, that PPA doesn't appear to support Hardy at all :\ [05:45] rww: you need to use a older way. [05:45] rww: :( thanks nevertheless. What do you suggest I do? [05:45] Anyone suggest a good RAD tool for developing in ubuntu?(RAD as in Rapid Application Development) [05:45] Serraphyn: vi + gcc [05:45] Losha well thats the problem.. wont ubuntu not see two seperate drives? [05:46] blakkheim: Humorous [05:46] whenever i reboot a dialog box always comes up and requests access to a key that is locked at /etc/python2.6 [05:46] !prevu | jc, rww: [05:46] jc, rww:: prevu is an automated, personal backporting utility. Check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Prevu for more details [05:46] Try that, depending on what mumble requires, it may work [05:46] thank you [05:46] stevebuntu: do you have something starting on boot? [05:47] well i was wondering the same [05:47] Hi all! Is there such a thing as a diff editor? Something that shows two files and allows cut/paste either to a third or to one of the two? [05:47] yup happen to me when starting a network applet [05:47] oh no! When trying to initialize prevu [05:47] I: Building against currently running distro:sh: lsb_release: not found [05:47] I'm new but check wherever linux places files on boot [05:47] hellhound666: how can i see what is set to autostart ? [05:48] Gartral: ubuntu will see 2 separate drives, unless you're using LVMs or raid or something clever like that. UUIDs are assigned at partition creating time I think [05:48] boot ? [05:48] ./boot or something? [05:48] rww: Click on the "Not using Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic)?" link in the PPA then click " (What is this?) " [05:48] rednose: I know how to use PPAs in pre-Karmic. The particular PPA we were talking about doesn't have Hardy packages. [05:49] check python [05:49] rww: Ok. I did not read all of what you said. build it from source then. [05:49] jc: Do you have the lsb-release package installed? [05:49] stevenbuntu ps -A look for something about python running [05:50] Anybody know of a good command line utility to print the resolution and duration of a video file? [05:50] the ubuntu 9.10 64 bit disk is too large for a cd [05:50] rww: and be prepared for problems. There's usually a reason the hardy build is missing.... [05:51] Hello, I keep getting kicked off my wifi. And syslog has stuff like "(wlan0): supplicant connection state: 4-way handshake -> group handshake" any ideas on what might cause this? [05:51] rww: you should seriously concider udgrading [05:51] I'm using athk5 I think [05:51] Gartral [05:51] you mean the ISO? [05:51] zetheroo: yea [05:51] Losha, Gartral: I'm not the one asking the question, despite what rednose seems to think :) [05:52] rww: oops, beg pardon [05:52] !hardy|all [05:52] all: Ubuntu 8.04-LTS (Hardy Heron) was the eighth release of Ubuntu. Downloading: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04 - See !lts for more details. [05:52] rww: haha ... how can I help? [05:52] Gartral: no it isn't, it's 690MB. [05:52] zetheroo: ohh nvm.. i had the wrong iso, lol [05:52] how can I purge fluxbox and xfce? (I installed them with "apt-get install xubuntu-desktop fluxbox") [05:52] stevenbuntu: try this here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=246791 [05:52] helhound666, there is a process called python [05:53] rww: i had rolled a package into another iso.. i forgot to rename it, lol [05:53] malsyned_: the best is idvid which comes with the 'tovid' package, but it's slow. There are also midentify (comes with mencoder) and tcprobe (comes with transcode). I'm sure there are others [05:53] hmw: Purge? Uhm... sudo apt-get purge packagename1 packagename2 etc [05:53] Gartral: oh ok ... I had found that with one distro ... don't recall which one ... but it was due to me using 700MB CD's and the ISO was over 700MB [05:53] theadmin: i meant to remove it basically... [05:53] stevenbuntu: sudo apt-get chkconfig [05:53] Losha: thanks [05:54] theadmin: with apt-get remove only one package is removed [05:54] stevenbuntu: sudo apt-get install chkconfig [05:54] hmw: Yeah, try sudo apt-get purge [05:54] Hi. I am trying to set an environment variable. it works if I use export , but I want to put this in a script to set a couple of them. I don't want it to be in .bashrc since I only want to set the variables in some cases (basically they are already set in .bashrc but I want to change their default value occasionally). I tried putting this in a script, but after the script finishes the environment variables seem not to stick.... [05:54] that should work perfectly [05:54] zetheroo: i have some 900s.. but did you try burning the disk in mode 2 type 1? [05:55] Gartral: no ... have never even heard of that :P [05:55] theadmin: i think that doesnt do. it says "1 package to remove"... it installed a lot more [05:55] Gartral: I used an 800MB CD and that worked [05:55] isn't mode 2 type one for audio/video and data? [05:55] zetheroo: google "mode 2 cd burner" [05:55] hmw: damn. It's usually a lot of trouble to remove desktop environments [05:56] great. well.. thanks for your helü [05:56] p [05:56] Gotta go... sorry. [05:56] Hellhound666: normally yes, but it's the data portion that lets it be used for oversized OS isos [05:56] phaidonx1: you cant set an environment variable the way you think. See 'man env' for a way to set an environment variable just for the duration of a command... [05:56] yeah I used a lot of that for dreamcast games [05:56] linux on dreamcast! I think I'll pop netbsd in my dreamcast! [05:57] netbsd works well on netbooks lol [05:57] Losha: I don't want to set the variable for just the duration of the command, but rather for the entire shell session [05:57] rww: my typo from last night [05:57] rww: sorry about that [05:58] Myrtti: no problem, thanks :) [05:58] linux works on just about everything. not the new ps3 I hear but I'm sure some hackers out there will make it happen. [05:58] alright I really gotta go read now. learnin' tahm. [05:58] see ya's later [06:00] phaidonx1: you have to put the export command in a file and 'source' it (see man bash) to affect the current shell [06:00] Anyone here know another RAD tool like Glade GUI? Glade GUI is given me issues when I try to do stuff [06:01] '~$ file /usr/lib/gdm//gdm-simple-slave; /usr/lib/gdm//gdm-simple-slave: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.15, stripped'.

I just installed a 3rd-party bootloader which was supposed to detect my other OS's. It did detect my other kernels, mainly Hardy Heron's. However, the path to the kernels is wrong. I need to correct the paths, but furst I need to know what they should be. Thanks in advance for your help. [06:20] anto9us: thank you [06:20] bullgard: sorry, dunno. gdm was rewritten for 9.10 and is even less well documented (and functional) than the previous version. [06:20] ch0ps, I've actually configured youtube to display the vids in html5 but I still get the same issue... maybe it's a codec issue? [06:21] it may very well be. It doesn't happen to me with all of the videos I watch [06:21] just a few.. kind of weird actually [06:21] Losha: I see. -- Thank you very much for commenting. [06:21] tldr: how can I find the paths to the kernels I need to reference?

Although Youtube doesn't give me any issues [06:24] I haven't actually put any time into fixing it [06:25] jure: Many converters out there... Try some online one such as youconvertit, they usually are simplier [06:25] duckwars, isn't pico actually a symlink to nano? Otherwise, would also need if it is through SSL or at gnome-terminal or directly behind console [06:25] jure, have you checked the ubuntu software center? I know they got some rad sound editors that can probably handle conversions for you too. [06:26] ploom: I didn't not know it was a link to nano.

[06:51] mikel: fine ya i ll try it out [06:51] duckwars, of course you have to change the delete key behaviour for the mac terminal preferences back as it was before... [06:51] iaindalton: yes. [06:51] guys? [06:51] markd: first of all the root directory should be /media/#mountpoint# and the drive after that is where the mbr goes, so "/dev/sda" if it goes on the first drive.. [06:52] Has anyone used P2350 on Ubuntu? I'm facing weird problems. [06:52] ploom: ubuntu is apparently using xterm-color, so is the mac [06:52] Mike1: Thanks. I appreciate it. If you're around for a bit I'll let you know how it works [06:52] ya the mount point where its called [06:52] The alternative is to build Emacs from source; there's no recent Ubuntu build. What bad things could happen if I use sid and Lucid packages? [06:52] its apparently a known bug i found a bug report here http://bts.grml.org/grml/issue665 [06:52] iaindalton: how recent do you need and why? [06:52] paul [06:52] it says to use grub-mbr option [06:53] mikel: do u know how to install apache axis in ubuntu jdk? [06:53] Myrtti: I reported a bug to Emacs and they want to know if it's present in the latest build. [06:53] how do i do that? [06:53] duckwars, this should work too, but there are many things to consider: http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-mini/BackspaceDelete.html [06:53] thiru: nope [06:53] oh [06:53] ploom: that's heavy [06:53] mikel: hmmm fine [06:53] I might not use the latest build all the time but it would be good to have if I need to test bug reports against it in the future, too. [06:53] * Sacho is using karmic packages on jaunty [06:54] duckwars, you have to eat it, otherwise it is hard to explain [06:54] hi there.. help me out to add apache axis plugin in jdk in ubuntu [06:54] what should i do? [06:54] =( linux is tough tiemz [06:54] markd: did you change the command as I suggested? [06:54] What bad things could happen if I had the lucid version of, say, libfontconfig1 and its dependencies? [06:54] pico used to work though, i used to delete all the live long day [06:54] Sacho iaindalton: using one package from other version of ubuntu or debian is usually no problem, but sometimes you would have to replace half your system :D [06:55] duckwars, another one: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050525040921189 [06:55] missed that how should i change it? [06:55] markd: first of all the root directory should be /media/#mountpoint# and the drive after that is where the mbr goes, so "/dev/sda" if it goes on the first drive.. [06:55] Mike1: I don't mind, unless that could cause problems. What I don't know is what, if any, kind of problems does it cause? [06:55] markd: where did you mount the ubuntu root filesystem? [06:57] iaindalton: mhh dunno, I once tried a similar thing with xine … it didn’t work afterwards but that was all [06:57] ara: hi [06:57] got to go now, school begins :-( [06:57] Well, I'll try pinning.

This works for the immediate moment =) [06:59] sorry to disturb [06:59] Thiru: if you give some details, someone might [07:00] i can [07:00] ActionParsnip: sure [07:00] sandyyoung: What kind of HD are you trying to mount? Ubuntu mounts many automaticalyl. [07:00] duckwars, nice, but after a little reading you should pretty much know everything about the subject :-) [07:00] iaindalton: a normal one, it has 3 reiserFS on it [07:01] ActionParsnip: i need to install apache axis plugin and need to develop webservice using java in ubuntu i dont know how to do it [07:01] Sandyyoung: most times the partitions will be shown in the places menu and be mountable. If the options used aren't to your taste you can use fstab to control it. The is no "best way" to mount stuff [07:01] sandyyoung: I mean, how is it connected? [07:01] iaindalton: In nautilus, I can double click on it to mount it, but I would like to have it mounted at boot [07:01] sandyyoung: Ah, OK. I don't know if there's a graphical fstab manager. [07:01] Hey, where is dillo for ubuntu karmic?

[07:24] ActionParsnip:what is epidermis [07:24] M1TE5H: hair [07:24] M1TE5H: or maybe skin [07:25] M1TE5H, I also want to change login screen, I asked yesterday and was told its because the new GDM is still under development. [07:25] ActionParsnip, it is but it involves running gnome-appearance-properties via tty1 as the gdm user [07:25] ActionParsnip, how do I check the avail option.

[07:26] hi, i got this weird dock bar on the left hand side of my screen -- on the top says "Favorites". How do I get rid of it? [07:26] M1TE5H, the easy way is to use three gconf commands... providing you know the name of the theme (and the theme is existing in the /usr/share/themes/ folder) [07:26] i am running a GNOME session [07:26] in Ubuntu [07:27] airtonix, go on. [07:27] Fannagoganna: right click it -> delete panel ,not work? [07:27] fannagoganna, not sure what dock bar you are talking about, is there an "about" menu option or something?

[07:27] i could send a screen shot, i tried to right click it. Nothing [07:27] i have no idea what it is [07:27] arand, Is there an "install" icon on the desktop? [07:28] Fannagoganna: may help, go for it [07:28] where should i send the screen shot? [07:28] ActionParsnip, the man doesn't say anything about avail. [07:28] .

[07:29] im installing ubuntu through usb and while in installation it cannot find cdrom obviously cause im installing through usb. i've successfuly mounted the usb device mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /cdrom; i'm not sure what to do [07:29] arand, then Im not sure. [07:29] M1TE5H, knoppies or this one : http://unixmen.com/news-today/825-gdm2-setup-036-released-finaly-configure-your-gdm-in-karmic-koala [07:30] q0_0p: you shouldnt need to mount it [07:30] TironN, there's a section where it says detect and mount cdrom [07:30] TironN, ubuntu LTS version [07:30] Knoppies and actionparsnip, my screenshot is located here (http://imagebin.ca/view/ugGqVA.html) [07:30] arand: Have you tried http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-ubuntu-linux-from-usb-stick.html ? [07:31] anyone know what it could be? [07:31] q0_0p: hmm... when i installed mine of usb it was simply follow the steps at default [07:31] q0_0p: try not mounting it as it should be detected as the cd automatically [07:31] TironN, i guess i have to mount the usb to mimick the cdrom [07:31] fannagoganna, looks like a nice eyecandy menu, never seen it, not sure what it is. [07:31] TironN, i'm able to mount it but maybe i'm not mounting it correctly in the right places [07:32] airtonix:i am checking ur links thanks [07:32] How exactly are Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Kubuntu, etc different technically? I understand the UI is different, but is it simply a different set of base packages with the same backend? [07:32] TironN, i did mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /cdrom [07:32] jfox: its the same kernel but a different dm which changes it all around [07:32] nevin: That's a liveUSB, and not what I'm looking for, ignore the usb bit I mentioned, it's a plain ubuntu install and I want to install to somewhere else from it.. === aybabtu is now known as Guest16321 [07:32] M1TE5H, knoppies note: those two apps just manipulate the gconf like the first examples i gave [07:32] q0_0p: you shouldn't need to but im not that experienced [07:32] anyone know what i'm looking at here? [07:32] jfox, that is how I would describe it. Its just different Desktop Environments on the same OS. but what you said sounds more interesting. [07:33] TironN, if only i knew what was in /cdrom by default [07:33] I installed evolutin on a new installation and copied .evolution to the home directory. Why evolution doesn't seem to take the date and the init dialog comes up? [07:33] arand, not sure how to do that, but I have a link to a tut that enables you to install it over a network, provided you have an apache server on the network.(or can set one up) [07:34] in other word how I can migrate an evolution installation? [07:34] thanks airtonix Im still going through your links. [07:34] haha thanks, I'm good with Gentoo and some other distros but i'm basically just beginning with debian/ubuntu based systems [07:34] on a uec cloud. where does the data reside on lets say 10 instances? [07:35] pog, make sure your .evolution-folder has the right privileges - other than that I really don't know. Sounds like it should work fine. it did for me. [07:35] knoppies: Well, that requires both a reboot and a server to net-boot from, well, I guess there isn't really any good way to do it then.. [07:35] ah, yes can be that it's another user... [07:36] can any body know how to find out usbflash disk serial no [07:36] pog, chown -R [07:37] M1TE5H: if you're looking for the UUID use the "blkid" command.. [07:37] are there any scripts or applications that can switch your system from one package set to another? ie: kubuntu base install -> xubuntu base install.... or do I do what I'm doing now and just use apt-get to add and remove the environments i want?

Mono is a .NET replacement/implementation for linux, and glade is a really cool way of making GUI's that are seperate to actual code [08:19] with glade, you can link it with most languages [08:19] so you could use the relatively easy python, and link it with a glade interface that you create [08:19] and voila [08:20] thanks guys for the xchat help too [08:20] How can I determine how much traffic has flown from my Ubuntu 9.10 computer to another Ubuntu 9.10 computer in my LAN in this session? '~$ ifconfig' gives a summary over all hosts in the LAN only. [08:20] the only problem is, is that i have mac os x on this laptop. [08:20] donri, the best thing i've found is a non-distro package called ppa-purge [08:20] I NEEDS HELP [08:21] mono runs on os x [08:21] !ask | llcoolhodge [08:21] as well as linux [08:21] llcoolhodge: 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. :-) [08:21] donri, more info available here: http://bigbrovar.aoizora.org/index.php/2010/01/10/how-to-safely-remove-ppa-repository-from-ubuntu/ [08:21] thanks [08:21] i has logitech webcam but i dont know how to get it to work on ubuntu [08:22] bullgard: Just right click on the network manager , and select info to see usage stats to get network useage [08:22] !webcam | llcoolhodge [08:22] llcoolhodge: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [08:22] thanks [08:22] llcoolhodge, sup [08:22] !webcam [08:22] llcoolhodge: I too have a logitech webcam... it works with cheese [08:22] JrodDCx: He only wants usage stats for intranet packets [08:22] i am new to this i dont know how to navigate easily [08:23] i am trying to use skype...what is cheese? [08:23] ok so i have glade installed [08:23] Hi There. Does someone know why I see several instances of the same samba server in my gnome network browser ? [08:23] but if i create a program with glade using the mac version, can it run on ubuntu? [08:23] It doesn't occur when using windows network browser [08:23] DannyButterman, you have zeroconf installed [08:23] llcoolhodge, cheese is a program that takes video/webcam pictures [08:24] !cheese | llcoolhodge [08:24] DannyButterman, windows does not support zeroconf by default. [08:24] airtonix:Zerconf on my ubuntu ? or on the samba server ? [08:24] Cheese is a cheesy program to take pictures and videos from your web cam. It also provides some graphical effects in order to please the users play instinct. [08:24] !cheese | Moral_ [08:24] i am not really caring to take anything...I would just like to use skype [08:24] DannyButterman, on ubuntu, ... what does the address bar in nautilus say for each of the entries when you open them ? [08:24] llcoolhodge, so your webcam doesn't work w/ skype? [08:25] JrodDCx: NetworkManager's window 'Connection information' only prints addresses and no traffic volumes. [08:25] brjann: did someone say my name :P [08:25] airtonix:sftp://freenas.local [08:25] Different version of skype work differently [08:25] DannyButterman, then that one is not a samba server [08:26] the old ones work better with pulseaudo for some reason [08:26] How do i get rid of this annoying warning on every start? [08:26] moral_ , no it doesnt i am trying to get software but to tell u the truth i have no idea what any of it means [08:26] DannyButterman, the .local also increases my suspicion that you have zeronconf/avhai/bonjour running on ubuntu [08:27] llcoolhodge, okay, does it give you any errors when you try and use your webcam with skype? [08:27] bullgard: sorry :( , try system monitor , and select network [08:27] Airtonix: I've just tried a connection on each of them shares, and upon identification it seems each matches a share on the samba server [08:28] bullgard: sorry :( , try system monitor , and select network ( under apps -> systools -> system monitor and click on the network tab) [08:28] DannyButterman, windows exploerer does not support ssh filesystems..you would need to use a third party file browser that supports ssh filesystems [08:28] Airtonix:but this is a freenas box, which runs also ssh, rsync, ftp, and cifs [08:28] DannyButterman, yes. but you just said one of the two entries you see has a starting address of : sftp://freenas.local [08:28] I dont know how to get my webcamera microphone to work on skype [08:29] DannyButterman, is the other entry starting with : smb:// ? [08:29] what's an easy way to shrink an image from 100k to 70k in ubuntu? [08:29] I have a laptop I use regularly with ubuntu 9.10 on it, and a WinXP desktop that runs 24/7 as my boinc machine. If I attach an external usb hard drive to my windows machine, is there a way I could mount and access that drive on my ubuntu laptop, via wifi when I'm at home, or over the internet when I'm away? [08:30] airtonix: yes, smb://freenas [08:30] abumaia, yes, portforwarding & ssh [08:30] abumaia I believe sharing the volume will do just fine. For LAN at least... [08:31] anyone have experiencing with the ps3 webcam on ubuntu? [08:31] airtonix: for ssh, do I have to install anything on the windox box? [08:31] experience [08:31] DannyButterman, that is why the windows explorer can't see your sftp:// entry... it does not natively support ssh filesystems [08:31] * [08:31] JrodDCx: System Monitor is not to be found under Applications > System Tools. System Monitor does not have a menu item 'Network' to select. [08:32] abumaia, actually. sorry not ssh. [08:32] airtonix:I see, that's not a bug from ubuntu, but a feature... ;) [08:32] DannyButterman, yes the two entries are. i think i did see something about sshfs for windows... [08:33] why GNU/Linux is secure than windows , would you name reasons ? OR is there any material regarding this issue ? [08:33] DannyButterman, (sicne it would be nice to just use windows exploerer to navigate ssh mounts) [08:33] bullgard: try the command: gnome-system-monitor [08:33] infid: if you have imagemagick installed u can use a command linu command called "convert" [08:34] andif the command doesn't wor,install it [08:34] bigbrovar, not on purpose! just a link! :) [08:34] bullgard: press alt+f2 and type: gnome-system-monitor [08:34] infid: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-170862.html [08:35] brjann: oh ok .. guess I will head back to flatland then ;) [08:35] i dont want to batch resize [08:35] ubuntu isnt showing the title bars of any of my windows in netbook remix, how can i see them? [08:36] infid: 'convert' will work for single images [08:36] I did a 'rm fileName' and deleted a 2gb file. but 'df -h' is still giving me the results before the deletion. am I missing something here? [08:36] JrodDCx: I opened gnome-system-monitor (= System Monitor). As I said, there is no menu item 'Network' to select. [08:36] bigbrovar, say hi to Square for me [08:37] bullgard: sorry i meant goto the resources section it shows network stats [08:37] brjann: :) [08:37] in gnome-system-monitor [08:37] m_anish_: ok i just installed image magic, do you know the full command line to type ? [08:38] it didnt install a man page [08:39] infid: try something like "convert myimage.jpg -resize 50% myimage.jpg" [08:40] infid, for a more user friendly way, you can use the "save for the web" gimp plugin. [08:40] JrodDCx: There, Network History prints the values 'Total Received' and 'Total Sent'. These are totals. I need specific values. [08:41] thanks [08:41] yeah dude i'd just use the gimp if i where you [08:42] infid, very effective, even for png images, for example. and easy [08:43] bullgard, are you looking for a daemon to monitor that for you? [08:43] STUPYD [08:43] JrodDCx: Thank you for commenting. [08:43] anyone use the ps3 eye? [08:43] U YES [08:44] brjann: Not necessarily so. Any means to obtain this information would be appreciated. [08:44] bullgard: np , sorry i couldnt help , i forget the program for that i used to have one [08:44] anyone awesome with integrating with AD here? [08:44] i have some really strange problems and every help channel is dead :-/ === sumo__su is now known as sumosu [08:45] bullgard, what are you trying to measure? I missed that part of the conversation [08:45] bullgard, there are lots of subnet bandwidth monitoring daemons available... ipband is a simple one [08:45] !info ipband [08:45] rifter: How can I determine how much traffic has flown from my Ubuntu 9.10 computer to another Ubuntu 9.10 computer in my LAN in this session? '~$ ifconfig' gives a summary over all hosts in the LAN only. [08:45] ipband (source: ipband): daemon for subnet bandwidth monitoring with reporting via email. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8.1-1 (karmic), package size 29 kB, installed size 156 kB [08:46] yeah there [08:46] I deleted a file as root, using 'rm fileName' , where the file is gone? I mean where is the trash folder? [08:46] 's a daemon I recently installed that si supposed to do stuff like that [08:46] bullgard, oh, are you looking for stats on data that's already been transferred? [08:46] no its gone forever my friend :( [08:46] let me see if I can find it.. I haven't fiddled with it yet [08:46] i have installed karmic full version on my netbook , but now i hear there is a netbook remix for netbooks. am i missing something ? [08:46] asmith, hate to say it, but it's gone [08:46] there is no trash with rm [08:46] kostkon: how do i get the 'save for web' plugin? [08:47] then why 'df -h' shows no changed in my hard disk? the file was 2gb [08:48] asmith : may be it was emoty [08:48] empty [08:48] brjann: I just installed the DEB program package 'ipband' and will test it. [08:48] asmith, not sure. but unless you've done something odd, rm deletes forever [08:48] infid, search for it in software centre. if you don't find it there, then search for it in Synaptic. [08:48] infid, what version of ubuntu do you have? [08:48] bullgard, hope it works for you :) [08:49] kostkon: 9.10 karmic [08:49] you might be ablve to recover from rm but you need a undelete utility! [08:49] brjann: Yes. looking for stats on data that's already been transferred. [08:49] i have installed karmic full version on my netbook , but now i hear there is a netbook remix for netbooks. am i missing something ? [08:49] infid, ok [08:49] brjann: I deleted nginx log file while nginx was still running. [08:50] bullgard, I didn't find it.. I know there are monitoring tools that do that kind of thing. I don't know taht you will be able to recover data on what happened in the past ..you have to havesomething recording that data already when it happens [08:50] kostkon: gimp-plugin-regstry? [08:50] bullgard, I'm checking out tcpstat though it might help [08:50] bullgard, ah. sorry to say ipband won't work for that... and I doubt anything will, really. I don't think anything keeps track at the subnet level unless it's asked to. [08:50] user1_: Ya, there is a netbook remix for netbooks. [08:50] oh [08:51] bullgard, youmean only data on the local lan? [08:51] phonm: should i install it on full version? how do i upgrade to it if it has more relevant packages [08:51] rifter: Yes. [08:51] asmith, nginx may still have an open file handle or something. you might want to restart it. [08:51] geys [08:51] bullgard, I think you might need to look into something like cacti or nagios and see if there's a monitro for that.. [08:51] can someone direct me to the link to the newest kubuntu with latest kde [08:52] kubuntu.org? [08:52] Yep yep! [08:52] OpenSuse is going to have the new KDE first on a remix CD! [08:52] brjann: Yep that did it :), thank you a lot mate [08:53] user1_: There should be a way to just install the netbook remix packages, can't remember their names though [08:53] i liked suse [08:53] rifter: I will do some snooping into tcpstat, cacti and nagios. [08:53] my network name is suse [08:53] =D [08:53] asmith, no problem, glad we could help :) [08:53] what's wrong when your own processes aren't listed with the user name, but only with the uid? [08:53] and it only happens for one of the users [08:53] zamba, their username is too long to fit in the column :) [08:53] brjann: aha [08:53] Does anyone know how to switch the new netbook remix to a gnome session ? they got rid of the thing to do it in 9.10 [08:53] no worries, then :) [08:54] infid, yes [08:54] bullgard, yeah I amlooking at tcpstat now; and it might work with some filters, which are documented in tcpdump, but I can't say I know how to set those filters to do what you want [08:54] zamba, and the only reason i know that is because i, too, once thought it meant something was wrong ;) [08:54] helo [08:54] JrodDCx: and where can i find this info? [08:55] imsearching but not looking for the right thing [08:55] what should i do if my firefox doesnt work [08:55] Streetboys, in what way doesn't it work? [08:55] brjann: hehe [08:56] RussellAlan: Check this out , http://www.desktoplinux.com/news/NS7565943305.html [08:56] user1_: Open Synaptic, then go to Edit->Mark packages by task and then select ubuntu netbook remix [08:56] i know its alpha but so would any kubuntu remix [08:58] Does anyone know how i can make my wifi card work at highest possible power ? on a netbook ? [08:59] JrodDCx: you need the right drivers, i had to install backports to get it to go full power [08:59] JrodDCx, I thought you were pointing to something like this: http://www.howtoforge.com/the-perfect-desktop-ubuntu-9.10-karmic-koala [09:00] Hello [09:00] darkishdave: hey，老大～ ;-) [09:00] pocoyo: Hey [09:00] infid: Thanks :) what netbook to you use ? [09:00] JrodDCx: i had to apt-get install linux-backports-modules-karmic for my eeepc's AR9285 wireless network adapter , and reboot, then got 90%+ wifi connections [09:00] JrodDCx: eeepc 1005HAB [09:00] oh I was mixed up you wee answering RussellAlan and I was looking at streetboys' question [09:01] haha no worrys dude [09:01] infid: Thanks dude [09:01] JrodDCx: just make sure you get the right one for what you have [09:01] Does any one know how to change the Power button default to "Restart" thourgh the shell [09:02] darkishdave: why not just use ctrl+alt+delete ? or a hammer ? [09:03] haha [09:03] darkishdave, check out /etc/acpi/events/powerbtn [09:03] will do [09:03] darkishdave: i think you have to map something in the initrd [09:03] config file [09:05] infid, got any eeepc optimization recommendations? [09:05] Heres one buy a HP ! [09:05] hahah jk [09:06] Mar_Tzipan: not too many, netbook remix does most for me. other than that get 'power top', and you can get some user scripts and styles for firefox to display common web pages more for smaller screens [09:06] Hey anyone needs a good gnome theme i found this one :) : http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/iRaveH20+2+%28Gnome%2C+GUI++Theme+%29?content=119775 [09:06] just now lol [09:07] what does wpa_supplicant -s do? where do I get information on it?

Version 0.6.9-3ubuntu1 (karmic), package size 372 kB, installed size 964 kB [09:09] nXhQXv2W, so in short it's for connecting to WPA-protected wifi networks [09:09] yes === PhilMather is now known as zz_PhilMather [09:10] My Ubuntu 9.10 Server keeps forgetting its network connections (or IP?) every few minutes. Very annoying because its completely headless and I use ssh to access it - which of course keeps timing out. Suggestions? [09:10] I looked at the man page and could not find refrence to -s [09:10] is possible to download a copy of ubuntu netbook remix 10.04 with ELF-based UI? [09:10] nXhQXv2W, the -s just means log to syslog instead of stdout [09:11] brjann: thanks much [09:11] nXhQXv2W, no problem :) [09:11] Should aptitude apt-get upgrade install the latest version of MySQL? [09:11] HELLO, its the first time i use irc . can you give me some websites or tips to help me learn the way to use irc? [09:11] Thanks guys, I got it [09:12] it's pretty easy jiajintao [09:12] you can /join #channelnamehere [09:12] darkishdave, great :) [09:12] and /server irc.servername.com [09:12] Guest66193: It will install the latest version that is in the repos, this may or may not be the latest version available from the mysql devs. [09:13] where can i find a copy of UNR 9.10 with the new ELF-based UI? [09:13] then , how can i got some useful servers? [09:13] any help on installing HP Scanjetc G2410 on ubuntu 9.04 [09:13] hello, i'm having this strange problem of not being able to print pdfs with *images* from evince. my printer just spouts out all the text but leaves image areas blank. i can't find any errors in /var/log/cups/ [09:13] This aptitude does not have Super Cow Powers. [09:13] lol [09:14] Guest66193: try -v, then -vv and so so on [09:14] what script controls the gnome gui for network connections? [09:14] akobed, sometimes i've seen that happen when you're using the wrong PCL driver version with HP printers -- could that apply here? [09:15] m_anish_: convert foo.png -resize 75% bar.png made bar.png a larger filesize than foo.png :( [09:15] nXhQXv2W, what do you mean by script? the program is called NetworkManager === zz_PhilMather is now known as PhilMather [09:15] brjann: this is samsung ml-1710, and i haven't touched the printer settings. this actually happened a few weeks ago after some package updates, so i guess something changed, either ppds or configs [09:15] join #ubuntu [09:16] infid, it's probably because of the interpolation method it used when it reduced the size [09:17] akobed, oh, bummer. i'm useless to you, then :) [09:17] My friend! I think this might interest you! Now that the Obama Nigger Tide is rapidly in retreat, the time for us to act is NOW! Tired of Niggers and their monkeyshines?

I wanna know what unnessary logs I have so that I delete them. I mean find it via terminal [09:17] sash_: what does -v / -vv do? [09:17] sort them by max size , desc [09:17] brjann: thanks anyway :-) [09:17] akobed, no problem :) [09:18] Guest66193: usually, -v means verbose, but aptitude does something funny ;) [09:18] god stupid trash talking spammer did you ban him ? [09:18] m_anish_: that worked thanks [09:20] hey! need an urgent help with OOo. I was trying to install the odf-converter as docx format documents were garbled and now it is is not opening any documents! is there a way to remove and reinstall all OOo packages? [09:20] asmith, in one directory you can use ls -lSh [09:21] asmith, -l for long format, -S to sort by size descending, and -h so humans can read the numbers :) [09:21] titan_ark: you need to goto synaptic and select reinstall and reinstall the open office packages [09:21] JrodDCx, there are numerous packages! isnt there an easier way thro the terminal? [09:21] brjann: thanks, it includes the files in the sub-directories also? [09:22] how can i change the channel to those using chinese? [09:22] brjann: or -r will do the trick? [09:22] i would end up missing to install some of the packages that way!!! [09:22] asmith, -R will recuse, but it won't sort all files at once, but just in each directory [09:22] asmith: try find /your/path -size yoursize [09:23] man find, look for -size [09:23] recurse, even [09:23] titan_ark: you can try the openoffice dummy package select remove and see if it marks them all then reinstall :) [09:26] How does one apply to be a channel op on #ubuntu ? [09:26] lol. [09:26] Agenda detected [09:26] titan_ark, to get a list of the installed openoffice packages on your machine you can run aptitude search ~i~nopenoffice [09:26] 'morning === srv-2-ubuntu is now known as munsking [09:27] !hi | srv-2-ubuntu [09:27] srv-2-ubuntu: 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! [09:27] can anyone tell me how to burn the freeNAS iso to an USB stick? [09:27] use Unetbootin! [09:27] titan_ark, and if you're feeling adventurous, sudo aptitude reinstall ~i~nopenoffice [09:27] it will do it for you :) [09:28] hmmkay, didnt know it was for ubuntu as well :) tnx [09:28] cool thanks for all the suggestions. [09:28] brjann, whats nopenoffice? [09:28] munsking: unetbootin? [09:29] Its A USB live system creator [09:29] titan_ark, that's just how aptitude search strings are written. ~i means installed, ~n means name. so ~nopenoffice means "matches name 'openoffice'" [09:29] brjann: thanks for the info that helped. How should I configure wireless settings without NetworkManager? or troubleshoot it? [09:30] yea i used it once on windows, but i didnt notice it was for linux as well so i forgot about it or something :) [09:30] brjann, ah okay. got it. i tried purge and remove and it asked me to use autoremove [09:30] titan_ark, that's apt-get, not aptitude :) [09:31] nXhQXv2W, why without NetworkManager? [09:31] brjann, :O i did aptitude (thought thats how you do a reinstall and its doing something) [09:32] titan_ark, oh, okay. just that aptitude doesn't have an autoremove. i was confused for a second :) [09:32] brjann: spotty wireless throughput. [09:33] nXhQXv2W, I don't know that I would suspect nm as the culprit for that [09:33] nXhQXv2W: thats sounds like a driver issue my friend not a ntwork manager one [09:34] How do I make Empathy use the system proxy? [09:34] titan_ark, so you're doing the right thing with aptitude. let us know how it goes :) [09:34] sadfghj: i find pidgen works better with that! [09:35] JrodDCx: Yeah, I have to use Pidgin to talk here. [09:35] why dont you like it ? [09:35] JrodDCx: Why don't I like what? [09:35] how do i set up my.cnf for mysql so that i can connect to it from another computer on the network? [09:35] pidgen ? [09:35] sadfghj, it's a known bug. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy/+bug/304889 [09:35] personal preference ? [09:36] JrodDCx: I want to give Empathy a try.

I hope I don't get a bann [09:36] KIck him! [09:37] Justme`: ZOMG give me the money! [09:37] hi. I am trying to make a debian package of a small python program that I wrote. It consists of some python modules (in the namespace diamond.*) and a script that runs them (in /usr/bin/diamond). When I make the package, the .deb has all of the .py files in /usr/share/pyshared, as I would expect. But when I try to run /usr/bin/diamond, it says it cannot find the diamond.* modules; there is no symlink in /usr/lib/python2.X/dist-packages to the [09:37] /usr/share/pyshared/diamond directory. I've tried calling both dh_pycentral -i and dh_pysupport -i in the debian/rules file, but the same behaviour occurs with both. any ideas? if I add a symlink /usr/lib/python2.X/dist-packages/diamond -> /usr/share/pyshared/diamond, then it works; but I thought that the .deb would take care of that itself [09:37] !flood | pfarrell [09:37] pfarrell: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

[09:41] JrodDCx: I'm in a classroom at school. [09:41] sadfghj, I use pidgin for ims and xchat for irc [09:41] JrodDCx: sorry [09:42] titan_ark, oh, what command are you using to install again? [09:42] pfarrell: No worrys, are you new here ? [09:42] yep [09:42] sudo apt-get install openoffice.org [09:43] brjann, sudo apt-get install openoffice.org [09:43] chrislsp: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=2273 [09:43] Hmm how do I be sure its a driver issue and not a network manager issue? [09:44] at least the documents used to open but with garbled formatting and missing etxt, now the documents dont even open! [09:44] Erhm "how can I" [09:44] nXhQXv2W: I can say 90% it is [09:44] nXhQXv2W, networkmanager really doesn't do anything but run other programs that do the heavy lifting. [09:44] chrislsp: based onthat I would say yes [09:45] titan_ark, and openoffice is in fact installed? [09:45] le0: please stay joined or leave ... thanks [09:45] brjann, yes it is [09:46] titan_ark, have you tried running openoffice and then opening the document in openoffice? [09:46] brjann, hmmm now i have removed everything and the search result is also zilch, now how do i install it again? what is the right command? [09:46] thanks rifter [09:46] or are you opening with the file browser [09:46] hey any one here compiled projectm in ubuntu?

[09:47] soz JrodDCx, my net is bouncing for some reason.... [09:47] sudo aptitude install openoffice.org [09:47] titan_ark, ah yes [09:48] titan_ark, one other thing you could do, though, is there's a "missing recommends" filter in synaptic. if there are parts of openoffice that are now missing they'd be in there [09:48] le0: oh im sorry :( we've had alot of spammers in the last 10 mins , carry on [09:48] brjann, just started the install again. can i check it after the install? [09:48] brjann: it doesnt seem to work? i get this error: mysql: unknown variable 'bind-address=192.168.0.5' === st__ is now known as drizzt___ [09:48] how do I manually configure or run those apps? === root is now known as Guest1337 [09:49] or find out what it runs..

[09:50] Guest1337 can you play stuff in movieplayer(totem) [09:50] hmm it doesnt seem to work with unetbootin, it cant find the kernel image or something, but i used the official ISO. does anyone have an other idea to get freeNAS to a bootable usb stick [09:50] nXhQXv2W, just a sec [09:50] brjman: yeah i tried it with a space, and a tab same thing [09:51] brjann, whoa installed and atleast documents open. but the buttons look huge and like shit!

[09:52] JrodDCx, oops. i am so sorry! i apologize for the language [09:52] can anyone help me with freeNAS? [09:53] why radeon driver is such a shit? [09:53] titan_ark, you can check synaptic for missing recommends, maybe there's something in there that'll help [09:53] pfarrell, I googled, read about fuse, but when I followed instructions, at sudo modprobe fuse I get this output: FATAL: Module fuse not found. [09:53] titan_ark: No worrys , im just trying to help ya , the bot may have got ya. (good thing not) [09:53] sounds like you're missing the package that contains the kernel module [09:54] Dynamo-php, did you install the module? [09:54] brjann, yes 3 were missing, 1 was a language support. installing em [09:54] i have installed GtkPod in ubuntu 8.10 but its not playing any thing [09:54] rifter, that's what I don't know of! [09:54] JrodDCx, :) thx [09:54] brjann: do you mind taking a look if i put it on a pastebin? [09:54] rifter, what exactly am I supposed to install? what is the app name in apt-get ?

I tried Googling for the information but the firewall blocks the word "Facebook" [09:55] brjann: Thanks : ) [09:55] Dynamo-php, well I haven't messed with this but when you go to synaptic and search for fuse there are actually a lot of modules [09:55] Dynamo-php, for different filesystems [09:55] rifter, I need to know what to choose! [09:55] doesnt anyone have any experience with freeNAS? [09:55] !no [09:55] Hvis du vil diskutere på Norsk, vennligst gå til #ubuntu-no. Takk! [09:56] Dynamo-php, you're after sshfs [09:56] brjann, that's right [09:56] drizzt___: please dont hurt Ubottu hes my favorite pet robot :) [09:57] JrodDCx, brjann no luck, still the same after installing all missing packages [09:57] Dynamo-php, well when I installed sshfs (which would be sudo apt-get sshfs) it didn't seem to need dependencies onmy system..let me check [09:57] Dynamo-php: try installing the sshfs package and using the sshfs command [09:57] pfarrell, I already did [09:57] did you add yourself to the fuse group? [09:57] see /usr/share/doc/sshfs/README.Debian [09:57] i guess i will have to use MS office, so much for my goodbye to windows =( [09:58] titan_ark: try going to your home dir and pressing ctrl+h and fineding and delete .openoffice folder [09:58] this removes any curropt configs [09:58] JrodDCx, done [09:59] titan_ark, logging out and back in couldn't hurt either [09:59] pfarrell, I guess I did! [09:59] titan_ark: MS Office is the best office package here, so you have no choice [09:59] reinstalling wouldnt hurt either! [09:59] brjann: http://pastie.org/843878 [10:00] brjann, oki doki, logging off [10:00] Dynamo-php, what happens when you try to sshfs? [10:00] drizzt___, :( [10:00] titan_ark, night! [10:00] drizzt___: please stop saying weird stuff [10:01] brjann, try sshfs as a command or install? [10:01] Dynamo-php, command [10:01] JrodDCx: please stop address me with offtopic messages [10:01] Dynamo-php, e.g. sshfs youruser@example.com:/remote_folder /local_folder [10:02] Dynamo-php: if you are still having trouble with the fuse kernel module, I know you can build it for your kernel with module-assistant [10:02] Hi. I'm trying to convert a PC to Linux at a hostel, and have very limited resources (for example, no CDRW) and an old computer (for example, no USB boot). [10:02] try sudo m-a list [10:02] pfarrell, one sec [10:02] brjann, logged back in and its still the same. I deleted the .openoffice folder before logging out :( [10:03] thefirm: Ubuntu is not exactly for old machines [10:03] drizzt___: This is not off topic , you are disrupting channel flow . im sorry if that hurts your feelings [10:03] ja660k, ahh, you put the bind-address line in the wrong place [10:03] I'm using loadlin and the Ubuntu 9.10 kernel/initrd. I can't boot from another media, I can't risk the HDD MBR with syslinux, the host is running Windows 98. [10:03] drizzt__: it's new enough (PIII/700Mhz) [10:03] does anyone know anything about making a debian package out of some python?

[10:03] pfarrell, I did it .. what's next? [10:03] is tere another alternative? [10:04] brjann: oh i see now [10:04] ja660k, remove the line you added under the [client] section, and scroll down to like 56ish. there's already one there for you to uncomment [10:04] http://www.linux.org/groups/ [10:04] rifter: I'm 250km away from the closest city, am leaving here in 24 hours andprolly not to return.

[10:04] thefirm that is a sticky wicket then [10:04] ja660k, no problem [10:04] I managed to start booting with loadlin, loaded kernel&initramfs image, but Scroll/Caps/Numlock flash twice and the machineboots. [10:04] Any tips for thisparticular thing? [10:04] (sorry, the kbd is shoddy too :) [10:05] Dynamo-php: not sure :-/ [10:05] Any boot parameters to try? [10:05] Try CrunchBang on a slow system [10:05] titan_ark, :( sorry we couldn't help [10:05] I read acpi=off et all might help, but I think they won't be parsed at all until later on in the boot process; am I wrong? [10:05] s/et all/et al/ [10:05] thefirm, how about this? http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download-wubi [10:06] thefirm, I have not tried it mind [10:06] brjann, :) np thanks for all the help. I guess MS will never let me met go of it! [10:06] titan_ark, one of these days... :) [10:07] :D [10:07] thanks once again [10:07] night [10:07] rifter: kill me if I know why, but wubi won't start; at all. [10:07] bye bye [10:07] titan_ark: Please re install! we need ppl like you as a user! [10:07] rifter: the process is there, but nothing happens. [10:07] thefirm, acpi=off is given during the bootloader menu, so before the kernel boots. it's A kernel option [10:07] hello, having trouble whit flash plugin [10:08] rifter: wubi.exe runs, no UI or anything, and that's it. [10:08] rifter: I suspect spyware, not sure. [10:08] JrodDCx, :) Ubuntu is something i cant let go off :) I am the creative lead of the LUG at my school too so i need to get more people to start using it , i need to show poeple their options === PhilMather is now known as zz_PhilMather [10:08] y a til des francais ?? [10:08] thefirm spybot: search and destroy can tell you if there is spyware [10:08] thefirm, but I don't know why spyware would be affecting wubi [10:09] I dunno, wubi is doing shoddy things (ditching a running Windows kernel and switching to Linux), I'm not sure what a spyware might do. [10:09] rifter: I agree it's not extremely likely, but I don't know what else to think. [10:09] rifter: I'm booting to MSDOS for a bit, ttyl. [10:09] thefirm, yeah I personally think it's a pretty risky proposition, but I have bnever trie dit [10:10] rifter: I love living on the edge :) [10:10] rifter: besides, once I boot Ubuntu from a USB stick, I may be able to use the CDRW burner, and once I can boot from the CD, I'm very confident. [10:11] why the `radeon' driver is such a shit? [10:11] (I can't get the burner to work in Windows, no drivers and I salvaged it from a dead machine I found here) [10:11] anyway, ttyl [10:11] 10x! [10:12] i'm trying to install bugzilla3 and the post-inst script fails saying subprocess... returned error exit status 14 [10:13] why is pulse audio included in Ubuntu? [10:13] this is a unresponsive step by Ubuntu developers [10:14] *unresponsible === zz_PhilMather is now known as PhilMather [10:15] hi [10:15] :) [10:16] woah,, hey [10:16] Hi, I have a sound problem. Sometimes my sound is working, sometimes it is not (more often). It usually starts working after staying off for a long period of time, but then, if I restart or turn off the laptop, the sound will not work. Help? [10:17] i would still like some comment about sad `radeon' excuse fora video driver. what can I do with it? [10:17] I have recently upgrade from 9.04 on a laptop I own. I used the automated upgrade upon reboot into 9.10 my laptop is unusably slow [10:18] drizzt: wassup? [10:18] Hi, I have a sound problem. Sometimes my sound is working, sometimes it is not (more often). It usually starts working after staying off for a long period of time, but then, if I restart or turn off the laptop, the sound will not work. Help? [10:18] wassup? that PoS doesn't work [10:19] after removing pulse audio in karmic I am left with no volume control applet [10:19] yeah, I have radeon x1600 - very annoying in karmic [10:19] can't seem to find anyway around it... [10:21] can anyone help? [10:22] sonix, I get something similar - when I check the sound properties, I have 2 output devices, sometimes I have to change to the second one [10:22] sonicroxs, well that could be a problem with the driver (kernel module) for your sound, or with the mixer, (which by default is pulseaudio) [10:23] hey everyone! For some reason every once in a while my laptop completely locks up(I have to hold the power button down to turn it off). I am trying to figure out what it causing it and am currently going through my logs to find out what is happening. Does anyone know of anyway I can try to narrow down what is causing the problem? I don't have any peripherals or anything connected. [10:23] hey can i use remote desktop viewer to see my friend's screen? [10:23] fuzzybunny: cosmic rays? [10:23] so I switched window managers in ubuntu... [10:23] fuzzybunny, you might install the system monitor tools to see cpu usage and temperature.. let me get you the right packages [10:23] fuzzybunny, my first idea would be memtest [10:24] my sound doesnt work, my internet doesnt work and there is no xorg.conf [10:24] brjann, not a bad idea [10:24] hello people [10:24] why does ubuntu rely on gui apps to configure and connect hardware? [10:24] Industrial: xorg.conf is not installed by default - not needed so much these days [10:24] brjann is that through the startup menu? [10:24] err the boot menu [10:24] How do I find out what chipset (wireless) I have to see if I can install some alternative driver? [10:25] how can i use "remote desktop viewer" to see my friend's screen? [10:25] morning all [10:25] madPJKfan: I know but now I dont know wether I am really running with intel display drivers or not for example [10:25] there are a couple of commands, I think [10:25] fuzzybunny, yep, i believe so. it's not a fast test, definitely something you want to do when you've got a night to let it run [10:25] glxinfo mebbe? [10:25] * AkhlD have reinstalled the ubuntu9.10 and all my files in the other Drive (NTFS) has an extension like *.viCrypt [10:25] how do i brin those files back ? [10:26] fuzzybunny, I think sensors-applet is the applet that puts the sensors onyour bar, and that should depend all the modules you need. that applet shows the temperatures [10:26] itheos, try VNC [10:26] ...thinking... X - version? [10:26] rifter, yes that's whatthey are i use them [10:27] fuzzybunny, yeah sensors-applet. you might have to add it to the bar manually after ypou install it [10:27] anyone have answer for my question ? [10:27] thanks you guys [10:27] I will give it a shot and see what i come up with [10:27] madPJKfan: what about internet and sound? I _need_ to run nm-applet to get internet? theres no initscript for networks? [10:27] what logs should i look in? [10:28] fuzzybunny, system monitor will show you cpu usage in a running graph, and of course top can break that down for you [10:28] doesnt ubuntu provide any such software already installed? how can i expect a noob who has just boot from the live cd to install anything? [10:28] fuzzybunny, well, usually with a hard crash like that, logs don't help much, as the kernel freezes before it has a chance to complain. [10:28] fuzzybunny, so besides hardware faiilures like memory, you want to see if there are processes pegging the system or heat issues [10:28] fuzzybunny, but if there was anything useful, it'd probably be in /var/log/syslog or /var/log/kern.log [10:28] if it is a heat issue what would you do in that situation if it is a laptop? [10:29] I am quite a comp addict so it wouldn't surprise me if it is a heat issue [10:29] ola [10:30] fuzzybunny, if its a heat issue i did this fire up the ole compressor and with a airgun blow in the vents problem solved [10:30] Industrial - now out of my league - have to go afk, sorry [10:30] fuzzybunny, my laptop sits on a pad with fans in it [10:31] fuzzybunny, something like http://www.actfind.com/product_images/y/pcck0202__25103.jpg [10:31] fuzzybunny, gnome-system-monitor is the system monitor I was talking about [10:31] alo bom dia a todos! [10:31] fuzzybunny, yeah make sure the laptop is not on something soft that is blocking the vents, you can clean it, too [10:32] pelo amor de deus gente...alguém pode me ajudar com esta porra de ubuntu? [10:32] Industrial: If I rember right knoppix had a command line config util. [10:32] isto virou o samba do crioulo doido! [10:32] Any clue about this file extension *.viCrypt [10:32] so it clean it I would just use a compressed air can and blow in the vent parts? [10:32] !pt | jxajro [10:32] jxajro: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. === andrea is now known as Guest41043 [10:32] fuzzybunny, and yeah there are stands like they are saying that elevate the laptop for better airflow and may also blow on it with fans [10:32] ok...obrigado [10:32] with respect to find, how would you specify -name *.spf and *.md5 ? [10:32] fuzzybunny, if its overheating it is dirty you need to blow it out normal core temp runs around 120 degrees [10:32] -name *.spf && *.md5 ? [10:33] al_: -name *.spf -name *.md5 [10:33] erUSUL: ta [10:34] fuzzybunny, yeah just that would be a big help. obviously if you're tecnical minded enough and it doesn't void your warranty you could take it apart and clean it more thoroughly. But you're best off just getting the low-hanging fruit and not risking more damage.. laptops can be tougfh to get apart and at least some of them I have seen you need to replace the heatsink compound on certain parts if you open them [10:34] oh ok [10:34] fuzzybunny, so, blow air in vents, make sure vents are not blocked [10:34] ok well thanks guys [10:34] I will try all that [10:34] and hopefully can figure it out [10:34] fuzzybunny, good luck :) [10:34] it seems to be happening more [10:35] hello [10:35] fuzzybunny, then you may have a failing dimm [10:35] fuzzybunny, ram is the most likely part to fail besides hard disk [10:35] and at least bad memory is easy to fix [10:35] How do I find out what chipset (wireless) I have? [10:35] nXhQXv2W, well is it from a card or onboard? [10:36] nXhQXv2W, lspci | grep Network [10:36] ok [10:36] night guys i love you all [10:36] and your great [10:36] :) [10:37] is there anyway to reload the panel without logging out and back in again [10:37] fuzzybunny: kill it and restart it [10:37] fuzzybunny: define reload [10:39] sash_, that did it thanks [10:40] hi guys, I installed thinkfinger then uninstalled it, but it seems to have left a bit of itself in PAM, I get the following lines in auth.log : [10:41] PAM unable to dlopen(/lib/security/pam_thinkfinger.so): /lib/security/pam_thinkfinger.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [10:41] brjann: Thanks [10:41] it's not much of a problem, but i'd like it if this didn't happen anymore [10:42] hmmm, -name *.spf -name *.md5 didnt work [10:42] HELLO..HOW I CONECT TO UBUNTU BR??? [10:42] this is on busybox but should still be ok [10:42] jxajro: Type /join #ubuntu-br [10:43] ahhhh ok...I will try again..thx [10:43] jxajro, just click here #ubuntu-br [10:43] jxajro, ok ? here #ubuntu-br [10:43] My sound has completely died on my ibex box since reboot :/ [10:43] here? [10:43] All I have is intermitant buzzing now :( [10:43] where i type this? [10:43] #ubuntu-br [10:44] Should I remove all ALSA and PulseAudio and start from scratch? [10:44] Or just abandon my linux desktop for sound and rely on pie-pod? [10:45] jxajro, click this --> #ubuntu-br [10:45] could some grub2 person tell me: if i back up my grub.cfg and then overwrite it back if I have boot problems is that a bad idea? [10:45] as all changes now are spose to be done via update-grub [10:45] does grub just look at grub.cfg and thats it or does it care about all those scripts that got put together when you ran install-grub [10:45] if it only knows about grub.cfg I would asume overwriting it with a backed up grub.cfg would be ok? [10:46] sabgenton: grub2 conf is done via /etc/default/grub and /etc/grub.d/* [10:46] No one wants to touch linux sound issues then? Fair nuff, don't blame them.

[10:47] you funking mather [10:47] FunkyWeasel, hi [10:47] FunkyWeasel, imo pulseaudio is usually the culprit, especially in older versions of *ubuntu [10:48] FunkyWeasel, there was no pulseaudio in ibex [10:48] psycho_oreos, as far as ai remember pulse came in hardy [10:49] indus, wasn't hardy before ibex? :) [10:49] erUSUL: I realize that [10:49] psycho_oreos, aah oops yes 8.10 [10:49] :D [10:49] FunkyWeasel, install 9.10 [10:49] but I want to back up the grub.cfg that is made from those files [10:49] FunkyWeasel, did you check with alsamixer if anything is muted [10:49] indus psycho_oreos: Cheers chaps. Oddly I find that now when I do sound preferences OSS produces a test where Pulse and ALSA produce loud crackles, but only when I plug headphones into the rear audio jack. [10:49] is that ok? [10:49] oh guys I just have one other question. On my computer(Sony Vaio VGN-CR520D) there is this indicator light that comes on whenever you put the screen down and it is really bright. Is there anyway I can turn it off? In windows there was this sony utility that let you turn it off but I am not sure how to turn it off in linux [10:49] sabgenton: if you backup a grub.cfg with pointers to kernel no longer installed it will not work when restored [10:50] if I restore (cp grub.cfg.back grub.cfg) will that be ok? [10:50] oh [10:50] Indus: Nothing's muted, and 9.10 is definitely on my to do list - unfortunately this is my work machine and I can still code on it. Having no sound isn't mission critical, apart from my sanity in the office :) [10:51] fuzzybunny, the bluetooth light? [10:51] I am also coming to the conclusion that my desktop is f[udg]ed. [10:51] sabgenton: that's why update-grub is run with kernel install's and removals [10:51] FunkyWeasel, weird, if OSS did pass then it might be issue with driver on ALSA [10:51] erUSUL: are u simpley taking about if I no longer have the OS / kernel there to boot? [10:51] hola [10:51] jjiajjaa [10:51] sabgenton: yes. there are kernel updates from time to time [10:51] !es | sergiiyo emiliyo [10:51] sergiiyo emiliyo: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

[10:51] brjann, no it is this one below the bezel on my laptop [10:51] erUSUL: yeah thats fine I can handle that [10:51] Psycho_oreos: True - for now I might try stripping pulse audio and alsa, reinstalling alsa, see if that works. Unless that's a terrible idea of course :) === dagny_ta1gart is now known as dagny-taggart [10:52] when you run the rind command, how do you make it run on a particular directory as oposed to the current one? [10:52] FunkyWeasel, well I'd give it a try personally, oss is somewhat already deprecated [10:53] erUSUL: futher more if i edit the grub.cfg carefull is that ok though not recomended? [10:53] mainly can I at least change the default number for booting which OS [10:53] al_: find /path/here [10:53] fuzzybunny, try ls /sys/devices/platform/sony-laptop [10:53] ta [10:53] fuzzybunny, google it how do i turn off etc { on your brand laptop} on ubuntu [10:53] sabgenton: as i said all changes would be lost when something runs update-grub [10:53] fuzzybunny, anything in there that looks like a light or led? [10:53] ablan en ingles [10:54] sabgenton: that number can be set in /etc/default/grub afaik [10:54] psycho_oreos: Cheers [10:54] brjann, driver modalias power subsystem uevent [10:54] i cannot figure out how to download emulator on to ubuntu [10:54] pinocho komeme en el tuenti [10:55] FunkyWeasel, I have noticed that sometimes I get stuttering sound in certian applications or crackled distorted sound, using pulseaudio. switching those applications to using esd or starting them with esddsp worked [10:55] llcoolhodge, what are you trying to do? [10:55] i went to site followed steps but i am not good at ubuntu or computerrs yet can some one help me with steps to download gameboy advance emulator [10:55] erUSUL: ok from what your say all the new warnings about don't edit grub.cfg in grub2 are mainly waring about it being overridden when update-grub is run [10:55] FunkyWeasel, which is funny since the esd commands arer just routes to pulseaudio [10:55] rifter: That's pretty crazy :) [10:55] FunkyWeasel, if you still have pulseaudio installed [10:55] sabgenton: right [10:56] fuzzybunny, bummer. i'm out of ideas ;) [10:56] erUSUL: /etc/default/grub does have that number yes but I still want to edit grub.cfg from time to time when I boot from another distro to that file [10:56] which you are saying is do able :) [10:57] llcoolhodge, those are always a piece of work use google and read you'll figure it out [10:57] sabgenton: i have it is the line ---> GRUB_DEFAULT=0 [10:57] (yes even though it will most likely get overiden ) [10:57] i did but i am not computer literate [10:57] i am trying [10:57] erUSUL: I know how to do that [10:57] but i need someone to hel me out [10:57] rifter: If I still have pulseaudo installed...? [10:58] I just want to know if I go against the grain and edit grub.cfg directly that I will be ok [10:58] can no one help me [10:58] sabgenton: ok; you came here with your mind already made up. not sure qwhy are you asking anything. just edit the file [10:58] llcoolhodge, which emulator u want to install? [10:58] FunkyWeasel, what I mean by that is when pulseaudio is installed it replaces the esd commands with wrappers to pulseaudio [10:58] and the answer sounds like "yes but just don't come crying when it gets overwritten" [10:59] FunkyWeasel, nevertheless using the esd commands worked for me onsome applications [10:59] gameboy advance joni_noplu [10:59] ^because u have just enlightend me to what I have said above [10:59] when i open link in xchat it opened in firefox 3.5.8 but where it reside in my system how to check [10:59] llcoolhodge, I can helkp you hold up [10:59] llcoolhodge, there's a gba emulator in the normal repositories [11:00] sipollo emiliyo xupame el pityo [11:00] ravionrails, system > preferences > preferred applications [11:00] really [11:00] where is normal repositories rifter [11:00] llcoolhodge, do sudo apt-get install visualboyadvance-gtk from the command line [11:00] rifter: Nice one. Also downloading ISO for 9.10 in the hopes I get time this afternoon :) === aimtrainer_ is now known as aimtrainer [11:01] erUSUL: so if i do go against the grain and edit grub.cfg I just need to back it up if I really want to hold on to those settings (as it will get overridden) :) [11:01] llcoolhodge, or go to system -> administration -> synaptic package manager [11:01] llcoolhodge, then search for visualboyadvance [11:02] llcoolhodge, click the visualboyadvance-gtk to get the one with graphical controls [11:02] llcoolhodge, and to answer your question on repositories, repositories are where packages you can install are stored. the normal ones are already set upwhen you install ubuntu [11:02] erUSUL: I know it's not the best but you have confirmed with me that it's not just going to completely blow up in my face if I know a bit about how it works [11:03] where do i find the roms to play with are those going to be different also rifter [11:03] llcoolhodge, after you click the check box for visualboyadvance-gtk click apply and it shoudl be installed [11:03] yes i did that also rifter [11:03] llcoolhodge, can't helpyou on roms, that would be illegal.. but I hear google might know [11:04] sabgenton: i already said that you can just edit the file if you want.

[11:05] erUSUL: except for one shot stuff I will put all my permanent grub needs in /etc/default/grub and /etc/grub.d/* [11:05] if i put some commands in a file [11:05] can i then run the file? [11:05] hiexpo, yeah installing an emul;ator is not piracy. telling people where to find software is [11:05] like a batch file? === katie11 is now known as k]a[tie [11:06] erUSUL: can you just confirm that I have the picture right here? [11:06] erUSUL: and thanks for your help [11:06] sabgenton: yes [11:06] !grub2 | sabgenton [11:06] sabgenton: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [11:06] rifter, - exately i got a nastyemail a week ago about that from fbi :( [11:07] hiexpo, ouch..I would not like to get emails from the fbi [11:07] erUSUL: I only will edit grub.cfg directly if I have to boot in from an other distro cause something is broken [11:07] I do respect the guidelines [11:07] thx again :) [11:07] hiexpo, it freaked me out enough years ago when I got that one bill gates sent to everyone on earth [11:07] infid: just logged back ... hope ur problem's solved [11:08] rifter, - oh ya i remember that [11:08] * m_anish_ reads up [11:08] hey [11:08] Looked through dmesg. how do I know what driver is loaded for my card? === root_ is now known as Guest72761 [11:09] anybody [11:09] i need some help [11:09] just to let all u nerds know i have the hard copies...it is not illegal to download rims if u have the actual games...then that becomes piracy...i also am in the US Navy so i wouldnt involve myself in something so stupid as to hurt my career [11:09] Guest72761, then ask [11:09] rifter, - ya the letter said you do what you want but don't be telling other people how to nor advise them of such [11:09] How do I restrict the resources used by a script run by cron? [11:09] how can i install beef on backtrack [11:10] hiexpo, I also got one of their nasty snail mail letters they sent to everyone threatening that they would say they were pirates if they did not buy more copies of windows. That was annnoying. what awas more annoying is that companies and governments caved in on those threats [11:10] Guest72761, join the backtrack channel and ask [11:10] yeshuah, do you just want to make it play nicely and not interfere with interactive processes? [11:10] Guest72761, /join #backtrack-linux [11:10] how can i install beef on backtrack? [11:10] rifter, - yep was scare tactics [11:11] brjann: I have a python script which runs once a day - but it is running for 1-2 hours and during this time, all my other processes (webservers) are crippled [11:11] thanx [11:11] Guest71216, you can only have bacon [11:11] hiexpo, I made sure form then on to use linux [11:11] hiexpo, like ernie ball [11:11] yeshuah, the simplest thing to try is the 'nice' command [11:11] yeshuah: nice ionice it ? [11:11] Guest72761, help with backtrack is at backtrack-linux [11:11] yeshuah, renice the process [11:11] Hm. Help please. I want display not to fade out when my computa is idle, i set everything in Power Management to "Never" already, yet it still does it! [11:12] yeshuah, and you can use nice when you call it [11:12] yeshuah, the next time [11:12] rifter: (And others) ok thanks - will look up renice and ionice [11:12] theadmin, check screensaver settings [11:12] theadmin, it is probably your monitor [11:12] yeshuah, and just plain old nice [11:12] joni_noplu: o_O *checks* [11:13] rifter: nah, it has no such settings at all [11:13] theadmin, somemonitors blank on their own [11:13] theadmin, butcheck screen saver first [11:13] brjann: whats the difference? [11:13] rifter: Yep. It was the problem... Weird screensaver there. [11:13] yeshuah, nice launches a process with a given niceness. renice changes the niceness of an already-running process. ionice is like nice, but for IO instead of load [11:14] Since the upgrade to 8.04, all mp3s I hear are being "cut" every few seconds; that is, the song playing is not fluent, I have this "bumps" or something in the middle of it [11:14] rifter, - yah me to i hate windows buti still use a few programs that are only supported on windows cause i have not found a suitable solution yet like dvdfab and dvd shrink is all [11:14] !info schedtool | yeshuah [11:14] yeshuah: schedtool (source: schedtool): Queries/alters process' scheduling policy and CPU affinity. In component universe, is extra. Version 1.3.0-1 (karmic), package size 24 kB, installed size 84 kB [11:16] rifter, - but i am working on a simalar one to dvdfab for linux [11:16] That's awful, I can't really enjoy music that way any more. [11:17] I think that maybe the upgrade killed one of my encoders [11:18] I've [11:18] vista n i installed ubuntu. It shows grub loading then directly takes [11:18] to ubuntu rather than asking. Grub2 is there and when i saw grub.d [11:18] files it has no files for vista only default files, now should i create [11:18] a custom file for windows vista? How to add other os to grub menu? [11:18] candy__: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:18] !grub2 | candy__ [11:18] candy__: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [11:18] candy__, did you try sudo update-grub [11:19] How do I know what driver is loaded for my card? [11:19] peleg, well if it was that wouldn't the sounds not play at all? what did you upgrade from? maybe it's a mixer thning. what kind of apps are you using to play the mp3s? [11:19] candy__, Hi, other OS can be added by editing the file , /etc/grub.d/40_custom [11:19] bazhang, yes but it didnt work [11:19] nXhQXv2W, it should show up in dmesg [11:19] candy__, try installking os prober and run it [11:19] indus, but i cant find my other os drive, it only show filesystem of linux not others [11:20] candy__, sudo apt-get install os-prober [11:20] rifter: ill try again. is there any reference I should look at? [11:21] nXhQXv2W, this was your wireless card, right? I missed that part [11:21] rifter: yes [11:22] guys what are "personal package archives" 'ppa'? [11:22] !ppa | GUcko1 [11:22] GUcko1: With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. [11:22] nXhQXv2W, then you want to look for whether the card got configured under eth0, eth1, or ath0 [11:22] nXhQXv2W, what's happening with it now? [11:22] GUcko1, that factoid sucks [11:22] rifter, I have upgraded from 7.10, and I am using VLC. At the moment I am trying to play it with mplayer to see if the problem exists also there. [11:22] indus, ll give a try [11:22] GUcko1, a ppa lets you install the latest versions of a software [11:22] indus: Howso? [11:22] hey all, im trying to reinstall ubuntu onto my dektop, i keep booting into graphical mode from the cd and getting AUTHENTICATION ERROR" on te vts and Ubuntu on the login screen, not letting me login at all.. [11:23] indus: No. [11:23] GUcko1, its risky and do it at your own risk [11:23] indus: Only the versions that are packaged in it. [11:23] jpds, the factoid talks from a developer point of view , [11:23] i and many others aint interested with it [11:24] GUcko1, anyways, so what do you want to do with a PPA [11:24] nXhQXv2W, of course if it did it would show up under ifconfig [11:24] brjann: ok have run renice on the process running now - setting it to 19 - but I get no performance increase on my webserver [11:24] yeshuah, what is the script doing exactly? [11:25] nXhQXv2W, otherwise you just have to go through dmesg trying to see if you see something about wireless === jean is now known as Gozzy [11:25] rifter, actually, it looks like the problem does not occur using mplayer. So: is it possilbe that vlc has a problem due to the upgrade? [11:25] yeshuah, IO-heavy work? number crunching? [11:25] GUcko1, for example with the wine ppa, you get to use the latest versions of wine instead of those from the repository ,but it will be unstable or might be [11:25] #linuxac [11:25] peleg, maybe or maybe vlc is using a different mixer [11:25] brjann: it's parsing an xls file - comparing to an xml file - and creating a 2nd xml file from this [11:25] peleg, I'd say the latter is more likely [11:25] brjann: so maybe ionice is more important? [11:26] rifter: Thanks found it.. [11:26] how do i tell ubuntu to load the cd toram? [11:26] yeshuah, could be, if it's hitting the disk often enough that it's increasing latency for everybody [11:26] rifter, I see... have any idea how can I check that? How can I check what mixer does it use, and how can I check the mixer itself? [11:27] peleg, you can force the mixer by adding a command to the startup, for instance esddsp will tell it to use esd, padsp will tell it to use pulseaudio [11:27] yeshuah: is the process heavy on i/o ? [11:27] #linuxac [11:27] Indus: I'm having trouble with the video card on my new Inspiron that has core i3 and integrated Intel graphic chip :( [11:27] whaTs the ubuntu equivelent to linux=toram [11:27] peleg, well some programs let you change the mixer in configurations or commands; I'm not sure how to do that to vlc, but I do know if you prepend one of those commands it will reroute the sound t o a different mixer [11:27] GUcko1, which version of ubuntu? upgrade to latest [11:27] Here is an issue that has been bugging me for years and now it is time to get it solved :) I am running Ubuntu 9.10 and AMP. All is working fine except I cannot edit any files with my own username. All files are set to www-data:www-data and permissions to 644. My account is added to the www-data group. How can I edit files without having to use sudo? [11:28] Indus: 9.10 [11:28] !intel [11:28] Ubuntu 9.04 has a known regression for some Intel graphics support. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 for more information. [11:28] ok old [11:28] RolandD: give the group write permissions [11:28] Indus: The new CPUs have the graphic chip integrated with the CPU [11:28] yeshuah, nice won't necessarily change the cpu load of a process. what it does is give more slices to other processes [11:28] indus, 9.10 is not old [11:28] RolandD, 644 means u=rw, g=r, o=r. you want 664 if you want to be able to write. [11:28] yes my comment was posted before [11:29] RolandD: you can't edit because the group rights are set to only read [11:29] RolandD: or better yet, make a new group since you probably don't want apache to be able to write to all you files (it already can) [11:29] but one thing i know is core i3 all features are not used by the kernel in 9.10 [11:29] RolandD: if you want to edit them with your user, change the rights to 664 [11:29] how do i load the cd to ram? [11:29] jrib: the files are uploaded via the Joomla installer, this would mean I need to keep changing persmission every time I upload? [11:29] or can I set a default value? [11:29] rifter: alright - so far neither renice or ionice have changed anything [11:29] RolandD: change the joomla preferences [11:29] same for the i7 [11:29] GUcko1, wow graphics integrated with cpu hmm [11:29] Thanks a lot guys, I am going to try it [11:30] ya and for i7 [11:30] but possiblly in lucid [11:30] the turbo mode i believe [11:30] can i get some help on using ncurses with gcc?? [11:30] yeshuah, is it possible for you to convert that xls file to a csv or xml? because it's possible that reading that file is more intensive than it would be a regular csv or xml [11:30] indus do you know how to load the cd to ram before starting up [11:30] rifter, - have you tried lucyd yet? [11:30] madura: be more specific [11:30] rifter, sorry, for technical reasons I have missed your last 3-4 sentences... [11:30] madura: what kind of help ? how to install dev package of ncurses? [11:31] yeshuah, if nicing doesn't help you might want to read up on /etc/security/limits.conf next :) === FeiRuoWa is now known as zz_FeiRuoWa [11:31] gartral|p, what you mean ? [11:31] gartral|p, hi [11:31] rifter: the conversion from xls to csv would have to occur on the server aswell as the xls is all we get from the supplier. [11:31] rifter, - have you tried lucid [11:31] brjann: will take a peep [11:31] hiexpo, no [11:31] linux=toram... need to load cd to ram then run installer [11:32] indus ^^^^ [11:32] isnt live cd running from ram already [11:32] jrib: I installed the libraries from package manager and then wrote this small ncurses prog which uses initscr() but the compiler says it cant find that function [11:32] rifter, - was wondering if it's as good as karmic [11:32] yeshuah, be forewarned though that limits can be set harsh enough to cause the kernel to kill the process, and you probably don't want that. so tread lightly. :) [11:32] indus no, it still accesses cd for alot of resources [11:32] madura: what did you install exactly? Did you install the -dev package for ncurses? [11:33] gartral|p, i have no idea how to load all into ram,too technical :) [11:33] jrib: well it has the header file now ...what is the name of dev package? [11:33] gartral|p, like a core dump hmppffffff [11:33] madura: apt-cache search -n ncurses dev [11:33] the OLD debian flag was linux or debian=toram [11:34] gartral|p, oh ok [11:35] why does my Windows Key not work in ubuntu?

[11:36] jrib: i installed another package for C but still the same [11:37] brjann: ok sounds scary - ok I can see with free that all my memory is being filled by the process - is there anyway to limit a process to only use like 50 of available RAM? - or this is /etc/security/limits.conf ? [11:37] jrib: undefined reference to `initscr' [11:37] i got a question that bugs me how come whenever i install a deb package it always shows up in synaptic as installed local or obsolete [11:38] joni_noplu wellin some distributions it opens the application menu [11:38] joni_noplu I remember it working like that ages ago on kde and gnome [11:39] madura: did you pass "-lncurses" to gcc ? [11:39] yeshuah, that would be limits.conf yes [11:39] i passed lcurses [11:39] hello n_n [11:39] hiexpo: "local or obsolete" means it's not in the Ubuntu repositories. If you installed it from a /local/ package, it is indeed local, and thus belongs there.

[11:49] gartral|p, but apparently they were too similar so I couldn't change my pass from "randompas" to "randompass" [11:49] oranosx, its still being tested in lucid [11:49] rags, I think you should be okay with those warnings.. but can you paste your lilo.conf? [11:50] gartral|p, so I set up a temporary password with like 10 letters instead [11:50] hatasu, a moment [11:50] gartral|p, but now I can't set it to anything that is shorter [11:50] ok, thanks [11:50] rifter: Thx for looking at it...I'll give you the conf...jus a sec [11:51] rifter: running top on the user running the script I get - http://dpaste.com/165146/ [11:51] jrib: i was compiling on codeblocks ..now i tried on the terminal manually then it worked thanks for the help i'll try to get it working on codeblocks === rajesh is now known as Guest56365 [11:51] superbeast your going to have to restart into the recovery shell, set your password there, then reboot back [11:51] rifter: I am using software raid1..maybe that is the reason for the warnings... [11:51] hatasu, this is the howto https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [11:51] how do I know what version of the kernel I am running? [11:51] gartral|p, what's the command for password change? [11:52] hatasu, but you need to know what drive windows is on. is it onthe same drive as ubuntu is? or another drive === Knightlust is now known as Igorots [11:52] uname -r [11:52] rags, aha that makes sense then [11:53] rifter: same [11:53] rifter: so it won't affect the boot process right? [11:53] Superbest: passwd [11:53] ok thanks guys [11:53] another partition [11:53] yeshuah, wellno wonder. your python script is thrashing swap [11:53] hiexpo: thanks. [11:54] no prob [11:54] rags, it shouldn't but I still wanna see the conf to be sure [11:54] rifter: is VIRT == swap? [11:54] yeshuah, yes [11:54] yeshuah, and when a proces uses more swp, it uses more cpu and more hard disk [11:55] rifter: yeah cos it's continually writing from memory to the disk and back again [11:55] yeshuah, so, what does the top part of top look like as far as memory utilization? [11:55] rifter: http://dpaste.com/165149/ [11:55] hatasu, ok so when you do a df -h what drive/partition does it say /is on [11:56] rifter: Here's my lilo.conf, I've removed the commented stuff out : http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/K1mJK9HA [11:57] yeshuah, yeah you are using all your ram and all your swap ... you should hit o to change order and then q to change to resident memory to see what processes are using your real ram [11:58] yeshuah, oh wait,duh, top is worng about the total res used, but not the per process [11:58] hello , Pidgon does not join to yahoo room why ? [11:59] rifter: so I guess I just have to find a way to optimize the script itself instead then? [11:59] yeshuah, when you use the free command it has a second line that gives the total used without buffers included (linux uses practically all your ram for buffers by default,but it frees that when it is needed) since you have all your swap being used,though, it makes me think you might really be using all that memory [12:00] alabd, try in #pidgin [12:00] yeshuah, well,what is using the ram? [12:00] dlynes: tried [12:00] hey all, i'd like to install gcc4.4.3 on ubuntu 9.10 karmic but am a bit of a noob when it comes to linux. any tips as i can't find the latest version in the repositories ? [12:00] alabd, they would know a lot better than an average ubuntu user, considering how they're all guaranteed to be pidgin users [12:01] alabd, maybe you just have to catch the channel at a different time of the day [12:01] rags, I don't know why it was complaining about /dev/sdb then,unless that is part of the raid or something [12:02] rifter: It is part of the raid... [12:02] shroomM: The repositories have 4.4.1, not 4.4.3. Is that sufficient? [12:02] rags, ahok. well it's probably fine then [12:02] hmm, i'm not sure tbh [12:02] hi how can i download all videos beneath an internet adresse? [12:02] i'm trying to compile x264 and ffmpeg [12:03] i seem to recall x264 was miscompiling with a previous version of gcc [12:03] http://joomla.addison-wesley.de/Joomla-1.5-stable-Video-Training i want all videos at the bottom of the site [12:03] Has anyone heard whether the nfs boot script ordering issue is going to be fixed in karmic? [12:03] but am not sure whether it was 4.4.1 or 4.4.2 [12:03] rifter: it looks like it wrote the records to /dev/sd*...but the actaul disks are md0 and md1 i.e the raid disks...I hope that is fine? [12:03] help i have right clicked on folder and in open with option i have changed it to vlc now every folder opens with vlc iam using ubuntu hel guys [12:04] The nfs boot script ordering issue is haunting me about 2 out of every 3 boots on some machines, and 1 out of every 5 boots on others [12:04] rifter: I presume loading a 3.6mb xml file and 4000line xls file into python - while trying to produce a 1.5mb xml at the time - probably has something to do with it [12:04] rags, well I haven't messed with the software raiding,I do it all with hardware. but I would think that since software raid is controlled by the kernel your boot loader still has to reside on one of the physical disks [12:05] yeshuah, well that would be a factor in the load the script imposes [12:05] ubuntu 9.10 freezes on boot [12:05] yeshuah, maybe you can do that processing on another machine somehow? [12:05] Hello please help an update to the stable release kernel vmlinuz-2.6.33-020,633-generic and when you log says that no move to find a video carats [12:05] yeshuah, I'm not trying to impose solutions; I want to help you find one that fits your constraints [12:05] rww: is the process of upgrading to 4.4.3 complicated ? [12:05] please help. ubuntu 9.10 freezes on boot [12:05] rifter: Makes perfect sense...also that be the only way it can boot if other disk fails...ok..Thx buddy.. [12:06] Alt-Ctrl-F1 doesn't help [12:06] shroomM: It's not in Karmic's repositories, and therefore is unsupported. I personally don't know whether it's doable or how to do it. [12:06] rags, good luck happy hacking [12:06] trying to boot from live-usb created from livecd [12:06] rww: oh, i see. thanks anyways [12:06] godatworld, have you tried adding acpi=off to the boot load options? [12:06] rifter: not really - we only have this one slice to do with - I'm thinking of perhaps utilizing a database - so I will load the xml and xls individually and loat their data into a temp db - delete them from memory and then do the comparison by database calls - but not sure wether the amounts of calls on the db will be better for performance [12:07] Ok I got it all figured out. I only needed to put umask 002 in the /etc/apache2/envvars file [12:07] thanks for the pointers [12:07] Could anyone tell me the ubuntu command to search inside files via terminal? [12:07] grep location whatyourelookingfor [12:07] Guest66193: grep [12:07] ?

I want an app in which I could type math equations, they should be what you see is what you get; then I should be able to hit a "calculate" button to know the value of a constant expression; or I could hit a "plot in 2D" button to see a graph, in case it is a function of x, and so on... All your suggestions look... [12:23] ...like applications of programming in math, but I am not very ready to it. Maybe you know some thing more close to what I mean?

[12:34] google [12:34] Gryllida: qtoctave seems to be in the repositories [12:34] madura: any text editor... [12:34] Ok, turns out I misdescribed the problem: It actually loads X, as I can move cursor, but gnome-panel never shows up (just the black screen and the cross which responds to mouse). Ctrl-Alt-F1 & Ctrl-Alt-Backspace don't work, the keyboard is irresponsive (only Caps Lock works), so I can't access console. If I press power button, it actually shows the console with the standard "The system is... [12:34] jrib it has some keywords like \relsize i see them too! [12:34] ...going down", but there aren't any error messages above it (in the init level). Again, I can't access /var/log, as can't access console in a normal way. Tried acpi=off with and without noapic, no change. [12:34] luist: what gives that error? [12:34] madura: huh? [12:35] jrib for example : "Don't use {\bf printf()} or {\bf cout} for debugging!"

[13:14] dlynes: thanks, I'll have a look [13:15] Linuxhippy, you'll need to register before you can file [13:15] dupondje, I don't know a command that does that you will probably have to write a script that checks the packages you have on your system, determines what files they use, greps out the ones that are in the directory you are concerned about, and then gives you a list which you can use ls -I to ignore [13:15] hi [13:15] all [13:15] how are you [13:15] im fine [13:15] from [13:15] dlynes: I am registered, but i can't find and "file new bug" link. i must be blind :/ [13:15] ı am from turkey [13:15] hungary [13:16] I have installed all fonts and keyboard layouts for Devanagari, I can type in all application in Devangari, except Skype.

[13:26] el colegio de la linea [13:26] clopxy, you didn't say all files were showing up 777...you were non-specific [13:27] clopxy, you also haven't specified what type of filesystem you're mounting [13:27] dlynes, sorry, yes. All directoriesand files from the client seem to have 777 [13:27] cifs [13:27] NTFS on the server [13:27] clopxy, under Windows, it could be NTFS, HPFS, or FAT [13:27] clopxy, so it's a cifs file system, then [13:28] clopxy, you definitely shouldn't be getting executable permissions, then [13:28] public /join #france24 [13:28] clopxy, have you tried mounting without specifying mounting permissions? [13:29] dlynes, yes. same thing... [13:29] clopxy, How are you mounting it? [13:29] I am getting an annoying error.

I type it wait........... [13:58] pngll: youch! [13:58] wiki [13:58] are you? [13:58] pngll: were you hoping to keep that windows installation? [13:58] Sometimes when I open a PDF document on the web, via firefox, it opens in adobe acrobat reader....When I then press save a copy, and browse to a location it says i dont have permission to save to this location....This is really annoying. How do I make it so that i can always save pdf files from firefox ? [13:59] Wireless is not working. After fresh install of ubuntu it was working for 10 days then if suddenly dont work now. I dont know anything about how to make it active. [13:59] gartral, nope, I formatted the partition before using wubi anyways. [13:59] I'm trying to get Puppet Dashboard running [13:59] pngll, I just want to get into ubuntu (which I guess means fixing Windows' equivalent of GRUB but I do not know how to do this) [13:59] hmm...ffmpeg isn't in medibuntu karmic [13:59] is it [13:59] pngll: well thats a problem, as wubi installed ubuntu into a page file (of sorts) insode the windows partition.. you just nuked everything [13:59] It seems to be ignoring my database settings in database.yml [13:59] And just tries to connect as root@localhost [14:00] n [14:00] And obviously fails [14:00] पग [14:00] pngll [14:00] gartral, I'm not too worried, I still have access to my windows vista partition (using it right now) [14:00] can you get into windows?

[14:24] How do I get an subversion 1.6 on ubuntu 8.04? [14:24] abhi_nav_: yes, what happened? you pinged out? [14:24] you could have waited and learned something new [14:24] I thing you are waitin for me to log me in as admin. so i made hurry [14:25] think [14:25] Nd__: ppa or compile [14:25] gartral, hmm things didn't improve. I removed windows 7 from the boot options, and for some reason I now have to manually tell the BIOS which hard drive to boot from. Also I didn't see anything special on the GRUB CLI, but when I enter the command "boot" it tells me "no kernel loaded". [14:25] Pngll: add the boot in the others config file for grub [14:26] pngll, do you mean you are pressing like f12 to get boot options from the bios and specifying the drive? [14:26] ActionParsnip: ppa? I had hoped for some way to apt-get it [14:26] rifter, yes (esc. actually) [14:26] ActionParsnip: gartral: after sudo dhclient wlan0 it is showing lines one byone and now wireless button is blue [14:26] pngll, because from the bios point of view you should have the boot drive set in there [14:26] ActionParsnip, I don't understand what you mean. [14:26] pngll, under setup [14:26] Nd__: yes, you add the ppa then you can apt-get the package from the ppa automagically [14:26] Nd__: a ppa is basically an unofficial repo [14:26] pngll: ok, no, your situation has improved marginally, now you need to reinstall ubuntu again, this time from the graphical installer with the disk in the drive at boot [14:27] rifter, yeah, I'll try to get into the boot options and make it permanent. I still find it weird that removing Windows7 from the boot options (in msconfig) resulted in my having to do this. [14:27] ActionParsnip: gartral: http://paste.ubuntu.com/384397/ [14:27] pngll, it is a puzzle to be sure [14:27] pngll, it may just be an unhappy coincidence [14:27] Is it true that only the Ubuntu alternate installer can create LVM partitions?? Seems such a vital option. And where can I find this alternate CD? [14:27] pngll, in computing, sometimes when it rains it pours [14:27] rifter, possibly :) [14:28] gartral, ok, I'll burn a live cd and move on from here. [14:28] pngll,rifter no, it's a side effect of removing the primary boot loader (7's old one), sorry i forgot to warn you [14:28] Abhi_nav_: ok run: sudo iwlist scan [14:28] ActionParsnip: gartral: each time i need to go by this command line? [14:28] abhi_nav_: [14:28] abhi_nav_: you there? [14:28] gartral: yes [14:29] Abhi_nav_: for now yes, until you get sorted [14:29] PC (Intel x86) alternate install CD << How many bits is this? [14:29] you never told me what happened.. i figured the conflict of internet paths bumped you off freenode [14:29] ActionParsnip: & gartral: result of iwlist scan: http://paste.ubuntu.com/384399/ [14:29] hi [14:29] ujjain, I amnot sure but I would imagine that the server version of ubuntu can do this http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition [14:30] Ujjain: 700mb [14:30] ujjain, I mean I am sure server version supports lvm [14:30] abhi_nav_: do me a favor, unplug your network wire, and run sudo dhclient wlan0 [14:30] ujjain, wnat I am not sure of is whether you have to use that version to get it [14:30] Abhi_nav_: great the wifi is detected and can scan [14:31] ujjain: I don't run a server, i downloaded desktop-64 bits and it did not support LVM. [14:31] ActionParsnip: 32 bit or 64 bit? PC (Intel x86) alternate install CD [14:31] I have heard people using an x term for 64-bits, not even x64. [14:31] ujjain: why do you need the alternate install cd? [14:31] I'm going to install windows xp to run on this computer with my ubuntu 9.10. I've heard that if I install XP after installing ubuntu, I need to reinstall grub [14:31] gartral: Because I need LVM. [14:31] ?? [14:31] Ujjain: the difference between the 2 is tiny (download size-wise) [14:31] gartral ?? [14:32] so which package I exactly have to reinstall, that one called grub-pc? [14:32] Beestone: correct [14:32] gartral you read what ActionParsnip's msg? what should I do? I am new on wifi topic [14:32] gartral, he wants to be able to use lvm [14:32] abhi_nav_: do me a favor, unplug your network cable, and run sudo dhclient wlan0 for me again, i think your issue was that you started two networking paths.. and ubuntu doesnt handle that nicely [14:32] Beestone: install xp first but a lot the partition for xp to a portion of the drive rather than the whole drive, this will avoid the need to mess with resizing [14:33] if i have a video file and a subtitle text file, is there any way to offset the display of subtitles in totem, VLC or any other player such that all of the titles are displayed a little earlier or later? [14:33] gartral: dhclient wlan0 result: http://paste.ubuntu.com/384397/ [14:33] gartral: ok wait [14:33] the only other thing i can think of to do is to directly edit the video file and chop a few seconds off the beginning, but i'd rather not have to try to mess with that [14:33] Beestone: ubuntu can then be installed in the remaining unpartitioned space and the dualboot will be handles [14:34] Handled* [14:34] but I have already this ubuntu and I'd like to just install XP on a second HD which I added on this computer just for XP [14:34] abhi_nav_: disconnect your hardline before running that command [14:34] hello, i installed a command line debian 9.10 desktop. now i would want to connect with my external 56k dialup modem, but i'm always getting the error pppd "Remote message: Autentication failed" even if i used the same user/passwd i'm using now to connect here. what can i do? thank you for your attention [14:34] so I think I would save time if I just install XP and then reinstall grub with linux livecd [14:35] gartral: result after unplugging cable: http://paste.ubuntu.com/384401/ [14:35] Beestone: that's fine, xp will add its bootloader to the other drive and grub will remain, you will need to update grub so it sees the alternate OS [14:35] abhi_nav_, pastebin your lspci -nnk output [14:35] Does anyone here have experience getting the Broadcom BCM4312 wireless working in 9.10? I've been struggling with this for hours and am getting nowhere [14:35] Beestone: it won't need reinstalling if xp has its own full drive [14:35] alfatau, doyou hear the modem connecting at least? [14:35] I can't run qwibber.

[14:37] abhi_nav_, yeah the device seems to be functioning, if you can get iwlist wlan0 scan to work you can't connect? [14:37] I can't run qwibber. Get this error: http://pastebin.com/u7BqnH6E [14:37] abhi_nav_: long press the wifi button upwards of 15 secconds [14:37] gartral: wifi button is already on it is blue [14:37] abhi_nav_: try psycho_oreos idea first [14:37] ok [14:38] abhi_nav_: im asking you to tell your wifi hardware to reset itself ;) [14:38] gartral: psycho_oreos should I try to connect while eth is connected? [14:38] ok [14:38] cè nessuno che mi puo dare su una wep? [14:38] psycho_oreos: I've tried that with instructions from http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php. No luck [14:38] Justin_: is there a bug logged for it [14:38] abhi_nav_, not a good idea, epecially when you have got an IP address from your router [14:38] abhi_nav_: i would disconect eth cable [14:38] minderaser, I believe there's a package in ubuntu repos for that === Mowee is now known as Mowee`Bnc [14:39] gartral: psycho_oreos ok i disconnect from cable i try to connect wifi you wait haan [14:39] Abhi_nav: now its actually doing the right stuff does network manager work as it should? [14:40] psycho_oreos I'll have to look into that when I get get a wired connection [14:40] Abhi_nav_: could also try installing wicd via the cable and rebooting. Might play nice [14:40] minderaser, you don't have wired connection? heh [14:40] ActionParsnip: I'll see what I can get done with the link you sent [14:40] alfatau, well it's been awhile since I dealt with ppp but I am thinking about an authentication method issue. you say you are connecting now with the same name and password.. under what os? [14:40] I have managed to close down that applet that shows Pidgin, Empathy and Evolution, how do I get it back? [14:40] yyyyyyyyyyy [14:41] hi.. can anyone tell me how to connect to internet in ubuntu 9.04 using reliance netconnect [14:41] rifter: now windows xp [14:41] psycho_oreos: Well, there's one here, but my g/f's young son would have a fit if I interrupted his runescape game :-\ [14:42] Suma: does it use a usb modem? Is it 3G? You need to tell us more [14:42] is wine working right for 64 bit yet? [14:42] minderaser, ahh typical, well I think if you went through hardware drivers you should be able to install wl [14:42] rifter: i noticed looking at /var/log/syslog there's a message saying "PAP Autentication failed"... while i choosed CHAP from pppconfig... [14:43] alfatau, yeah that's what I am thinking of [14:43] ActionParsnip, I've been trying to get wicd to work with the Belkin USB wifi adapter RT2870 driver , no luck with ndiswrapper or wpa_supplicanr thru the cli either ...really stumped. Wicd worked great with it in jaunty ,but not in karmic and lucid [14:43] alfatau, some isps used mschap [14:43] alfatau, which is a windows-only extension of chap [14:43] hello... can anyone help me solving my problem [14:43] alfatau, but I think there is a solution let me see [14:44] rifter: well, is there a way to use CHAP? i choosed CHAP in pppconfig... while pppd still tries connecting using PAP? [14:44] How can I start the Indicator Applet??? [14:44] suma, never used reliance netconnect, never heard of it as well [14:44] Blueskaj: I use it after I kept getting asked for pam passwords. Pus its de independant :). Weird its not paying. Did you tell wicd the wifi interface name? [14:45] alfatau, you have t o use what the isp is using [14:45] Suma: we can't help you unless you give details [14:45] alfatau, I am looking at the methods for getting mschap on there [14:45] ActionParsnip, the IF name, essid name , even tried static IP ...nothing [14:46] BluesKaj, I'm sure there's rt2870-sta driver floating in the ubuntu repository [14:46] Blueskaj: tried the curses interface too? Should be identical but worth a try [14:46] alfatau, although.. maybe you should see what happens when you choose pap since it's saying pap authentication failed [14:46] ActionParsnip, curses interface ? [14:46] rifter: thank you. i'm looking what method my isp wants we use... [14:47] Hi -- network manager question. I set up a vpn definition using the network connections app in the system prefs menu. Now, how do I get it to actually connect? I can't seem to find a "Connect" button for it [14:47] Blueskaj: it has a cli interface [14:47] ncurses, GUI lookalike command line [14:47] dear gartral and ActionParsnip: psycho_oreos: i am unable to connect using wifi. actually there is one more prob that while on this ethernet, i can connect to it but every app on my comp shows that i am not connected I means there is something more to do with this [14:47] rifter: so i should chooose pap instead of chap? [14:47] ActionParsnip, like /etc/network/interfaces for my eth0 connection ? [14:47] Suma: you can't seriously expect us to know the technicalities of every worldwide provider. No details == little or no help. Your choice [14:48] i have, network manager, network, wifi radar, xnetcardconfig. among that only xnetcardconfig works for ethernet all other just dont detect that cable is connected [14:48] abhi_nav_, I think some programs like firefox may work offline, but if you used nm those applications may become aware [14:48] Blueskaj: type wicd and hit tab [14:48] Hey, if I'm writing a bash script and I have a command that I don't want it's output to display in the terminal during the script.. how can I get its output redirected to.. /dev/null [14:48] Lanlost: command > /dev/null [14:48] what is nm? [14:48] alfatau, you should try it and see, meanwhile I am looking into how to get the mschap modules on so you can use that in case the answer is to use mschap [14:48] abhi_nav_, network manager [14:49] such as like echo "Test" > /dev/null .. type statement [14:49] heh, I said that in a another channel. [14:49] abhi_nav_, in that case it is, but usually nm on irc is known as never mind [14:49] I didn't test it first of course.. it doesn't work with the command I want [14:49] psycho_oreos: that network manager applet tells me that eth cable is not connected and no wifi is on [14:49] !nm [14:49] actually you don't want to write to /dev/null like that [14:49] Does anyone have some suggestions to troubleshoot /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/ scripts? I have checked the permissions on the script, and it runs correctly if I call it manually. All the reading I've been able to find indicates that scripts in this directory should be run when networking is started up. Am I misunderstanding how this should work? Am I missing something? [14:49] abhi_nav_, so you need to switch wifi on, btw you shouldn't have more than one application controlling the interfaces, it'll only conflict [14:50] rifter: ok [14:50] I'm not using that.. I wanted it to work for pactl when you load pulseaudio modules.. it says "failed to load module" or whatever OR just outputs a number.. if I try to forward it to /dev/null it prints it anyway.. [14:50] brent@redroom ~ $ pactl load-module yourface >> /dev/null [14:50] Failure: Module initalization failed [14:50] rifter: i need to disconnect. i'll come back in a while (i hope with ubuntu box), thank you a lot [14:51] psycho_oreos: my wifi is on xnetcardconfig and 'Network' can detect it but network manager cant and 'Network' can only theoretically conncts my eth but xnet.. is one who actually connecte me to eth [14:51] alfatau, ok see you soon === back is now known as look [14:51] abhi_nav_, the thing that stumps me is why are you using xnetcardconfig and not network manager? [14:52] becaue network manager tell me that i have not connected any cable to computer (but in real it is there connected) and xnet (only) can detect and connecte me to internet [14:52] psycho_oreos: becaue network manager tell me that i have not connected any cable to computer (but in real it is there connected) and xnet (only) can detect and connecte me to internet [14:52] abhi_nav_, I think in that case, the interface for wired is actually turned off [14:52] psycho_oreos: how to turn it on for eth and wireless? [14:52] abhi_nav_, its not hard to turn the wired interface up, a simple terminal/console command like ifconfig ethX up [14:53] abhi_nav_: is NetworkManager started [14:53] abhi_nav_, and no I wouldn't recommend associating both wired and wireless, it'll never work with multiple gateways [14:53] Hi all! When I log into XFCE or KDE all is fine, but when I log into GNOME, my screen resolution is undisplayable by my monitor. How can I change it? [14:53] sash_ NetworkManager is started and is ther on top right corner. I cn left/right click on it, can go to properties etc [14:53] this is not NetworkManager [14:54] this is the nm-applet [14:54] How does one go about creating a wallpaper bundle like "cosmos", such that the wallpaper changes periodically? I put some images in a directory, copied /usr/share/backgrounds/cosmos/background-1.xml into that directory and edited it to match said files, and restarted gnome, and it's still not showing up in the wallpaper control panel [14:54] psycho_oreos : i done ifconfig eth0 up but network manager is still sleeping [14:54] Hola, alguien me puede decir que tengo que modificar para que al crear un usuario se me una directamente a los grupos por defecto que quiero?

[14:55] brb all [14:56] abhi_nav_: /etc/init.d/NetworkManager [14:56] abhi_nav_, probably because of all the other network interface programs running and causing a collision, you need to kill them and use network manager [14:56] sash_ are you talking about syste=>admin=>network? [14:56] pipegeek, You could see if you could find the folder where it keeps its photos, then put yours there. [14:56] dsnyders: As I said above, I did that, but thank you [14:56] guys any idea how to kill a particular screen session? [14:56] Cyclope: ctrl-a k [14:56] ok [14:56] Cyclope: do you use screen profiles? [14:57] abhi_nav_: try /etc/init.d/NetworkManager start or stop and then start. then killall nm-applet and nm-applet [14:57] pipegeek, Sorry, I missed that. All I saw was the part where you tried to point it at your photos. [14:57] ah [14:58] icorbett that didn't work... its just stuck [14:58] psycho_oreos: and sash_ when initialy ther only was network manager (that top right one) in my pc (after 10 days of installation) it started to show me that cable is not connected, but in real i can open web browser can i am able to surf internet. in show i am connected to net but network manager dont know this. do from that net i installed xnet and all other softwares [14:58] Cyclope: then it is likely not just the screen session that is hung [14:58] faileas_ no just screen sessions [14:59] Hi -- network manager question. I set up a vpn definition using the network connections app in the system prefs menu. Now, how do I get it to actually connect? I can't seem to find a "Connect" button for it [14:59] Cyclope: try logging in via a separate console and run `screen -DR` to try to reattach [14:59] abhi_nav_, well stop them from running, disable them from loading at boot [14:59] thanks icorbett and faileas_, as icorbett pointed out there was a process in hung state :) [15:00] back [15:00] Cyclope: tried exit? [15:00] ahh [15:00] abhi_nav_: network-manager-gnome or nm-applet like to go crazy imho [15:01] hi, how do i specify the destination dir when downloading files with wget(the directory where the files will be downloaded) [15:01] sash_ ok [15:01] Rix, man wget [15:01] Rix, it goes in to . by default [15:01] Rix, you could just cd into where you want to be first [15:01] Rix, or you could read the manual [15:01] i want to specify the dir [15:02] ok im back, had to reboot for kernal === Mowee`Bnc is now known as Mowee [15:02] i cant find it in the man [15:02] * abhi_nav_ thinking what to do now. Lots of complex steps involved. What to do........... === abhi_nav_ is now known as abhi_nav [15:03] Rix, man pages are notoriously vague. :-( I jusually just cd to where I want the file and then wget from there. [15:03] Rix: I think its -O [15:03] aha okey i will try that [15:03] thanks a lot [15:04] * abhi_nav is back to docs. hmmmmmmmm [15:04] !wireless [15:04] Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [15:04] Rix: wget http://site.com/thing -O $HOME/Documents [15:04] Etc [15:04] thanks :) [15:04] I cannot get networked windows shares to automount through /etc/fstab. Please help! [15:06] Rix: be careful, from the man page -O The documents will not be written to the appropriate files, but all will be concatenated together and written to file. [15:06] 82378[5~[6~[6~278[5~[6~[A [15:06] Rix: could be wrong but its free to try. If you read the medibuntu repo guide it uses directed wget there too. You can get the syntax there [15:06] Hello guys, i want resize my windows to lower space so that i can add the free space created to my Ubuntu 9.10 ..how to ? [15:06] Mixlator: use gparted in livecd [15:07] Mixlator: make sure your backups are recent incase of catastrophe [15:07] ActionParsnip, that 'd harm my windows partition i guess [15:07] !dualboot [15:07] Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [15:08] Rix: you actually want -P targetDIR [15:08] ActionParsnip, you are correct [15:08] justin_, do you have smbfs installed? [15:08] + [15:08] Mixlator: it will allow you to resize the partitions to get more space. It shouldn't harm anything [15:08] ActionParsnip, this is how to: reboot from my liveCD, resize windows partition from 70 Go to 50 Go , format the 20 Go ext3 ...and reboot from the hard....is this right ? [15:09] Rix: as long as you read the description of the options the man page is actually consise. [15:09] rifter, Yes, I do. [15:09] MixLaToR, You forgot: Back up windows in case of catastrophe... step one. [15:09] Mixlator: you can write to ntfs in linux so why not just have a folder you can dump stuff in. You can symlink it into you home folder for easy access [15:09] justin_, well what happens when you do the mount -t smbfs command manually wih the same options that are in fstab? [15:10] justin_, er put sudo in the front of that obviously [15:10] sbts, indeed it is [15:10] I am trying to use an iptables-restore script from /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/. It doesn't seem to be called when the computer starts up, though I can run it manually. I have ensured that the script has the correction permissions (755) and I can run it fin manually === skyred_office is now known as skyred [15:11] dsnyders: sure ; ActionParsnip : i want try some other stuffs...(appache+bind+php....)so my 10 Go right now is not enough [15:11] sbts, I missed that he wanted a directory and not a file [15:11] i once had a "desklet" that displays cpu, network and other statistics. it was roughly 20% width of the desktop and 100% height, dark and transparent. I can't remember, what it was. Can you tell me, which programs to check out? [15:11] Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do further troubleshooting? [15:11] sbts, -O is for a file [15:11] rifter, it worked! But I had to put the IP address of the server instead of the server name [15:11] hmw: sounds like gkrellm [15:11] justin_, well then you have a dns problem [15:12] hmw, conky? [15:12] Mixlator: gotcha, yeah you'll need to resize to get more room. Once your backups are sound you can go crazy and restore if it goes bad. It should be fine though. There are guides all over [15:12] !resize [15:12] rifter: Yep sure is, use it all the time, but had to check man page for -P [15:12] justin_, when you do nslookup [servername] what happens? and are you using a fully qualified domain name or just the server name [15:12] sbts: bazhang: thanks, checking [15:12] Well, I can use the IP address, that is not a big deal. :) When I tried to mount the second though, it says can not change directory into mount target /media/video [15:12] !dualboot [15:12] Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [15:12] ActionParsnip, cheers buddy ;) & thanks for the others too...;) [15:13] Hi all! When I log into XFCE or KDE all is fine, but when I log into GNOME, my screen resolution is undisplayable by my monitor. How can I change it? [15:13] Mixlator: one of those says how to resize ntfs partitions [15:13] justin_, if /etc/resolv.conf does not have your taregt domain specified under domain or search then you have to specify the domain when referring to the servers [15:13] ActionParsnip, K [15:13] HD playback within Karmic is very choppy for some reason, it plays fine in windows using the same player (VLC) [15:14] Go a question. Everytime I try to activate my broadcom drivers in 9.10 it just sits there trying to install and does nothing. Is there a way to activate them from the terminal? [15:14] Mixlator: gl and happy to help :) [15:14] justin_, /medis/video exists? [15:14] anyone here know of problems with the AU mirrors? having issues with updates on multiple machines :( [15:14] Dandy: try mplayer. Vlc doesn't use multiple cores [15:14] justin_, /media/video I mean [15:14] rifter, yes, I used mkdir to make it. [15:15] Dandy: have you installed video drivers? [15:15] alguem sabe por q o amsn nao esta funcionando [15:15] justin_, what is the ownership and permissions? [15:15] !en | pracidio [15:15] pracidio: 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 [15:15] justin_: silly question, can you cd into it manually? [15:16] ActionParsnip: I think mplayer is the same, infact it might be even worse, let me just try again [15:16] justin_, when you say "it could not change directory" do you mean that mount gave you an error, or that after you mounted you could not change directory [15:16] ok [15:16] rifter, yes, I can cd into it [15:16] justin_, which is it [15:16] rifter, the mount command said that it could not change directories [15:17] justin_: another thing to check, is the spelling of both the dir and the mount command [15:17] justin_, well it sounds like an authentication problem ... [15:18] rifter, sbts PEBKAC error, forgot the s on videos lol === ebunny is now known as jeranen [15:18] justin_: can you run ls -lad /media/video and post the result [15:18] sbts: bazhang: conky might be it, but it is somewhat different - my thing let me move it around and it automatically docked to the side of the screen - do you know something similar to conky, perhaps? [15:18] justin_, what happens when you do smbclient //servername/sharename [15:18] justin_: eazy fix then :) [15:18] justin_, that'll do it [15:18] Hi -- network manager question. I set up a vpn definition using the network connections app in the system prefs menu. Now, how do I get it to actually connect? I can't seem to find a "Connect" button for it [15:18] justin_, we can still fix dns if you want to [15:19] rifter, smbclient produced Domain=[JPSERVER] OS=[Windows Server 2003 3790 Service Pack 2] Server=[Windows Server 2003 5.2] [15:19] hmw: gkrellm does all of that, there are quite a number of options and plugins for it too. [15:19] justin_, yeah if the mount is working now the smbclient is superfluous.. we were gonna use that to test authentication [15:20] rifter, O. How do I fix dns then? [15:20] hmw: other than gkrellm and conky (which I have never used) I can't think of any others, unless you check out the screenlets package, there may be something there. [15:20] justin_, well, first, were you specifying just the servername or servername.domain [15:21] just the server name. Resolv.conf says my domain is just belkin [15:21] rifter, just the server name. Resolv.conf says my domain is just belkin [15:21] justin_, well that is why [15:21] rifter, so in fstab, i need to add .belkin after servername? [15:21] justin_, either you need to specify the server and domain name, or you have to have search include the domain name [15:22] justin_, no ... ok so are you saying that you don't have a dns server? [15:22] rifter, just the dns built in the router aka 192.168.2.1 [15:22] sbts, thanks [15:23] justin_, if you don't have a dns server to service your domain you need to use ip addresses or the /etc/hosts file [15:23] rifter, Well, the IP address works fine with me, it never changes since the server is always on [15:23] justin_, yeah in that case your options are to use ip addresses, a hosts file, or set up the dns server. IT sounds like to me what you need to choose is the hosts file.. that is the easiest option [15:24] justin_, well that works, too. but iof you want to use names you can add them to th e/etc/hosts file .. that's up to you [15:25] rifter, how would I do that? Add the ip address to hosts and the desired domain name next to it? [15:26] I just raid 5'd my 4tb's on ubuntu [15:26] justin_: for a very long time I have always setup small (less than 20 pc's) networks with static IP addresses and used the hosts file (on windows and linux machines) to manage name to IP mapping. [15:26] scripts located in /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/ should be executed before the interface is brought up, correct? [15:26] justin_: in linux edit hosts and add lines like "192.168.0.123 mickeymouse" [15:26] justin_, you add the server name and ip address [15:27] justin_, you don't have a domain so you can ignore that [15:27] Could anyone recommend a good strategy for maintaining my system configuration scripts in version control? (e.g., /etc/apache2/httpd.conf , or /etc/puppet). Are there packaging guidelines I should know about? [15:27] justin_: then when you want to refer to the machine you can just use the name "mickeymouse" [15:27] sbts agreed for this sort of thing hosts is more than adequate [15:27] obviously don't include the quotes in the file [15:28] sbts, rifter, Thanks! I am going to reboot real quick to see if /etc/fstab will work properly [15:28] justin_: np [15:28] hi [15:28] can anyone solve my problem? [15:28] suma: tell us more [15:29] bah , I gave up on wicd for USB wifi ...works fine withe the broadcom on the laptop, but not with USB adapters [15:29] suma: we can't solve it if we don't know what it is. :) [15:29] alright guys got a good one here.. need to recover a file without extensions.... [15:30] i am unable connect to internet through my reliance netconnect in ubuntu 9.04. [15:30] can u tell me how to do it [15:30] DuCkNeT: specifically what do you need to do, did you accidentaly delete the file? also what filesystem is it on? [15:31] rifter, sbts Thanks! Worked like a charm! Would I run into problems if I had those file shares mount as ~/Music and ~/Video instead of directories in /media? [15:31] suma: I have no experiance with the reliance netconnect, is it an adsl modem? [15:31] justin_: no problems to mount on ~/Music etc at all. [15:31] i am spanihs [15:31] sbts:its cdma 1x [15:31] sbts: ext4 file system i've move the file and now there is nothing in it [15:32] DuCkNeT: what command did you use to move the file? [15:32] que soy española [15:32] sbts, Good, my canonical music and video collections are on the server, and I just want to use the desktop as a portal to them! :) [15:32] suma: ok, how old is the modem? [15:33] justin_: easy, oo interest, what software are you using to play the music? [15:33] no entendo [15:33] i move it in gui... [15:33] cut and paste [15:33] sbts:its new one. just 1 month before i bought it. i can connect it in windows xp. but i don't know how to connect it in ubuntu 9.04 [15:34] sbts, Have not decided yet, but I am generally a banshee guy [15:34] suma: do you have a 9.10 live cd or installed machine around? [15:34] justin_: cool [15:34] DuCkNeT: what kind of file? [15:34] sbts, It works best with my Droid [15:35] DuCkNeT: ouch, that may make things more difficult, I am assuming, as you are using ext4, that the system is 9.10 (karmic) [15:35] ecolitan its a text file with no extensions [15:35] sbts extact... [15:35] So, I've installed the proprietary drivers for my broadcom wireless but can't get it to activate through Hardware Drivers [15:36] sbts:i also tried ubuntu 9.10. but it's asking for keyring. even though i entered my admin password many times there, it isn't accepting it. [15:36] DuCkNeT: do you have a partial copy of the text, or even and EXACT copy of one or more lines in the text? [15:37] crap, I gotta run [15:37] when ever i try clicking on the drives listed in computer:/// it asks for password, [15:37] suma: normally the password for the keyring is not your admin password, the first time you used the keyring, you actually get asked for a new password. [15:37] how can i avoid it? [15:37] How do I adjust the timing of Grub2? [15:37] hello there [15:37] i'm using Karmic Koala [15:37] justin_: /etc/default/grub [15:37] justin_: sudo update-grub after you edit it [15:38] i would like to ask.. how to configure wireless? [15:38] erUSUL, Thanks! [15:38] sbts:what should i do after that? whether i get access to internet after that? [15:39] justin_, actually if you use the ~ you wnat to specify a username [15:39] d'oh [15:39] he's gonna mount it to root's home directory :P :D [15:39] sbts i know what could have been in the text [15:39] rifter: good catch :) I totally missed that :( [15:40] somebody? [15:40] sbts yeah I was looking at something else when that exchange wen on [15:40] suma: give me a minute [15:40] erUSUL, i wanna ask about wireless setting in karmic koala, could u help me [15:40] sbts:ok i'll wait [15:40] mrxjoy: what wifi chip does you machine have ? [15:41] sbts personally I would never use a ~ in fstab. it would probably work in ubuntu, but it gives me chills [15:41] how can I check that? [15:41] mrxjoy, check the output of 'lspci' or 'dmesg' [15:41] mrxjoy, or 'lshw' if you have that [15:42] hi. I use first time IRC, so I don't know how to use it. But... I have question. Can I install Linux on extended partition? [15:42] mrxjoy: lspci | grep -i net [15:42] marcin_: yes [15:43] hello - anyone knows why a soft link always has a permission of lrwxrwxrwx ? Even a chmod -w does not seem to make it readonly. [15:43] is the link (created by ln -s ) really writeable by anyone? [15:43] sbts i know what could have been in the text .... [15:43] erUSUL: thank you [15:43] suma: one thing you can try (on 9.10) is to move the file ~/.gnome2/keyrings/default and ~/.gnome2/keyrings/default.keyring to a different location, this will remove the existing keyring password and let you set a new one. It will however also remove all passwords that have previously been stored in the keychain. [15:43] erUSUL, Intel Corp PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [15:43] marcin_, as for IRC it's pretty simple check out guides and howtos on the web, as for extended partitions, Linux is perfect installable on them. Whatever your distro is you usually have to choose the customize partitions option or the advanced installation. [15:44] hello - anyone knows why a soft link always has a permission of lrwxrwxrwx ? Even a chmod -w does not seem to make it readonly. [15:44] mrxjoy: should work out of the box. if you click on the nm-applet (right up corner an icon with two computers) do you see a menu with networks around you ? [15:44] is the link (created by ln -s ) really writeable by anyone? [15:44] vpathak_, because setting permissions on the symlink itself is meaningless, the actual permissions will be of the target file [15:45] hey all [15:45] sbts:what is the actual path of those files. where should i move those files? [15:45] OLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA [15:45] erUSUL, ya I can see that... [15:45] !es | usuario_ [15:45] usuario_: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

Any idea why or how to vimdiff a local file with a file on a distant host? === ShadowChild is now known as lukjad86 [15:47] marcin_, if you have a free partition, either extended or primary, then you *can* install Linux on it. [15:47] vpathak_, yes they always have those permissions, but no one can do anything to the directory it points to without passing the permissions of the directory [15:48] erUSUL, can I configure the wireless setting via CLI? [15:48] suma, you could mover them to [filename].old or I like to add a date to my backups like filename.02-26-2010 [15:48] mrxjoy: see the man pages of iwconfig iwlist and wpa_supplicant.

[15:53] DuCkNeT: ok the best thing to do here would be shutdown the machine and reboot in from a live cd, then come back here for further help, basically you will need to do somthing like sudo grep -i -a -U -Bx -Ay 'known text from file' /dev/sda1 | tee /tmp/recovered.txt this assumes that the drive is /dev/sda and the partition the file is on is partition 1. also you will need to change the -Bx to -B10 (for example) and -Ay to -A10 (for example).

[15:53] {g}: hmm no nvm [15:53] Dr_Willis: yes. [15:53] sbts ok so i boot with karmic cd live and then come back here and you explain me this ? [15:54] phox_, if undelete fails use photorec [15:54] phox_: all i can say is good luck. Try the tools suggested I guess. [15:55] Oh, and Dr_Willis, Too-- thanks [15:56] DuCkNeT: Yes I can try, unfortunately the grep (which is a search) can take a very long time for something like this. [15:56] suma: did you manage to move the files OK? [15:56] sbts has to be from live cd ? [15:57] phox_, there are data recovery services that might be able to recover drives from formats, but it could cost thousands o fdollars [15:57] Anyone ever try to install any of the ubuntu ports for powerpc?

[15:58] DuCkNeT: basically that is the best way, the longer you are running the machine with the harddrive mounted, the more chance you have of permanently obliterating the data you want to retrieve [15:58] #jember [15:59] phox_: there is a very good company here in Australia that does data recovery at very reasonable rates, they also take on work from all around the globe, give me a moment and I will find a link for you [16:00] rifter: track the info I am giving to phox_ [16:00] Hi Dudes. [16:01] Do you think it would be possible to use rsync over obex? I wanna sync the contents of my mobile. [16:01] Hey guys. I'm trying to install the driver for my quickcam messenger, but make install throws an error that I don't know how to solve. http://pastebin.com/m2Qc4Hdg Error starts at line 7 [16:01] Hello [16:01] sbts: thx that would be great.. [16:01] phox_: and rifter: the url for the company is http://www.payam.com.au I have personally spoken to the manager and have clients that have used them, all reports have been 5+ stars [16:01] hellooo [16:01] sbts: is that better then using photorec? [16:01] vHanda: very unlikely, the device needs rsync support too. [16:02] hello daviid ... [16:02] Could someone please have a look at that link I posted? I really would like to get this thing to work [16:02] phox_, it depends on two things, how much the data is worth to you and how much you are willing to spend to get it back [16:03] phox_: you may have some luck with photorec, but make sure the drive is mounted readonly. once anything starts writing to the drive, your chances drop VERY rapidly. [16:03] waths your namess? [16:03] rifter: the thing is that the comp is my brothers and i kinda deleted it all without asking, so i kinda have to do it [16:03] sbts: fuck, its been in normal mode all the time, and writing [16:04] phox_: there's several bootable partition recovery tools, check out Ultimate Boot CD. it worked alright for me, didn't get everythng. [16:04] !language | phox_ [16:04] phox_: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [16:04] sbts: likely it's unrecoverable then. [16:04] I have done quite a bit of data recovery for clients in the past, if I get the drive straight away, before anyone else plays with it, the sucess rate can be very high, often 100%, but once anything gets written to the drive sucess drops very rapidly [16:04] SirLoseALot, looks like to me the driver is a bit old for the kernel version you are running [16:05] ive surfed with it for like an hour or two, and played around just a little. Nothing much [16:05] sbts: i am going to connect in a fresh copy of ubuntu 9.10 after install it. [16:05] I am trying to get some scripts to launch out of /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/. If I understand it right, this should be executed before the system brings the network up. It does not appear to be trying to launch the script all. Can anyone suggest why this might be? I have checked script permissions and they are ok (755) [16:06] SirLoseALot, check if your kernel headers are installed or if that isn't working try downgrading to an older kernel if you are comfortable with that [16:06] Hi Can someone help me with custom screen resolution........:-) [16:06] phox_: the drive that got formatted, is it the one that the system is now installed on, or is it a second drive [16:06] Gnome shell is in Software center, Should I install it? Any problems? Can I revert it back after installing? [16:07] sbts: its a laptop so i guess its only one disk, atleast thats all i find. Plus it says that the hd had bad sectors or something.. [16:07] MilitantPotato1, ultimate boot cd is very useful === tyler is now known as Guest71807 [16:07] phox_: Say it got corrupted from the bad sectors :) [16:07] is there an easy way to manage package management upgrades across many servers? (e.g. receive notifications of pending updates, execute upgrades in batch) [16:08] arundracula: Gnome-shell is a program but very buggy at the moment [16:08] suma: no problems, when it first askes you to set a keyring password, if you leave it blank, it will never ask again, but beware, this means that any passwords you store on the machine are in plain text, anyone can read them. It is best to set a password when asked, possibly the same as your login password, this makes it easier to remember :) [16:08] rifter: shame it doesn't include chkdsk by default. [16:08] militantpotato1, lol no i already told my brother i formated it.. I feel real bad [16:09] ok === orion is now known as Guest19240 [16:09] sbts:ok. thank you very much. [16:09] phox_: Mistakes happen, hopefully he made backups frequently if not, lesson learned yea? [16:10] phox_: if that is the case, you likely will have a hard job recovering old photos, but things that were saved more recently may be ok. can you please run "df -h" in a terminal and post the results for /dev/sdax where x is all numbers reported [16:11] sbts: im not on that computer right now. Im not sure if i wanna start it and write even moore to it, mayby i should just leave it to some professionel. [16:11] stdisease: Sorry, was kind of busy in the terminal. For some reason it seems to mess around with 2.6.31-14. My latest and installed kernel is 2.6.31-19, though... [16:12] phox_: if you have a live CD around, boot from that, you shouldn't make it any worse atm. [16:12] I have just installed ubuntu for the first time (karmic, kernel 2.6.31-20). This is a new laptop, and a vga monitor that worked fine with my old debian laptop will not connect to the ubuntu machine. Am I missing a process here? In debian the external monitor would come up at the gnome login menu. Any ideas on how to fix this. [16:12] stdisease: I wouldn't know how to downgrade a kernel, so I suppose I may just end up not being able to use the cam. Seems to be the only driver, dates back to '07 [16:13] phox_: once you have booted from a live cd, let me know and I will help you mount it readonly, df needs the filesystem to be mounted :( [16:13] SirLoseALot: can [16:13] SirLoseALot: can't you do a backport of the camera?? [16:13] I tried a lot of tweaking in xorg.conf file but custom resolution doesn't work. I got the nvidia drivers installed.... [16:14] archboxman: Unfortunately, I'm not even quite sure what that means. [16:14] sbts: well the weird thing is that when i tried to install ubuntu from the live cd it took ages to even get into the install-menu, and most of the times i tried it didnt even work. I think the disk might be broken. [16:14] sbts: and as i said, ubuntu says it has bad sectors and stuff [16:14] hi, i'm trying to mount an external hfsplus formatted drive. i had to disable journaling through my mac in order to be able to mount the drive as RW in ubuntu and that worked out fine, and then overnight it stopped working altogether. i'm in a live environment now and the drive is automatically mounted but is RO, even though /etc/mtab says it's been mounted as RW. doing umount and forcing mount -o rw doesn't solve it. any ideas? [16:14] SirLoseALot, downgrading a kernel just means installing an older version of it, say one from a previous version of this distribution. [16:15] SirLoseALot: means you use the driver for the old kernel and have it associated with the new kernel [16:15] Running DKMS auto installation service for kernel 2.6.33-020633-generic: [16:15] SirLoseALot: give me the model of the cam???

Ill probably leave to a friend of mine who is a pc-wiz. thx for the info anyways [16:19] SirLoseALot: I don't usually worry about the kernel let me just look and pickup on what is said... [16:19] i see... okay, never been to #ubuntu+1 before... ill check that channel [16:20] slayton, I am not sure if this will fix it for you, but a step in the right direction might be to use a 'username map' [16:20] sbts: if you are interested look in #ubuntu+1 soon [16:20] archboxman: I am getting a different error message now when I try to make install - want a pastebin?

I have installed, uninstalled, and reinstalled the proprietary ATI driver and still h [16:40] ave not figured out how to get the monitor to detect my new system. Any ideas how I can get this working? [16:40] HackeMate, for most people (especially beginners) Desktop is easier [16:40] SirLoseALot: already ran accross that most are saying to compile the source code in order for the camera to work ... need to find model to download source code and compile to run with kernel [16:40] ah... i get it now [16:40] desktop is a general version for domestical use [16:40] right?

[16:43] archboxman: If you check the first picture link, you'll find that it shows my cam [16:43] For some reason, when gnome starts up..all it has is the deesktop background, and two icons [16:43] I see [16:43] trism: thanks, thats exactly what i'm searching for [16:43] I think it may have been a screen resolution that got set WAY too big by accident. [16:44] SirLoseALot: let me read up on solutions... this sounds like a standard driver... [16:44] My question is...how in the heck do I fix it at this point? I am not knowledgable enough to really be messing around with commands like xrandr.... [16:44] archboxman: Ok, doing a quick reboot, brb [16:46] trism: so little question... i have installed xubuntu (with gnome enviroment). I have no splash-screen, only quite boot-up. How can i set a splash, wich schows also the things doing on bootup (loading some stuff) ? [16:46] GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" on the configfile [16:46] what have i to change here to get a splash-screen? [16:46] how can i reinstall the bootloader in the terminal with a livecd after my xp install wiped it out? [16:47] rethus1: can you pastebin your /boot/grub/grub.cfg?

[16:49] rethus1: quiet will work better than quite. [16:49] but only "splash" doesn't work in karmic...says the wiki :( [16:49] rethus1: oh you wanted to remove the splash screen, I thought you meant you didn't have one, actually you probably want to remove splash, not quiet (you can remove quiet if you want but it will show you probably more information than you want) [16:49] archboxman: xiven what happens if you hold down the windows key and scroll the mouse wheel? [16:49] hey,can anyone tell me how to enable visual effect in ubuntu 8.04??

[16:50] Hi people. When I'm using the "Show desktop" future in compiz in shows the desktop right away, however when restoring (pressing the button again) it takes 4-5s before actually showing the windows again. Any idea on what this can b? [16:51] maybe its only a problem with my graphic-card that the image not shown? [16:52] rethus1: If you want a splash, you need to set it to "quiet splash" [16:53] roszak: the first thing you will need to do is try shutting down (power off) then reboot with the monitor connected. then if the login screen appears on the wrong screen use the fn key and the "switch monitor" key to cycle through the possible combinations. only press the key combo once, then wait for the change to happen before pressing it again as it can take several seconds each time. [16:53] it is set to quiet splash, but i have only black screen [16:54] sbts: well the problem with that is I am running ubuntu on my laptop and Arch Linux on this system... wont work in Arch Linux nor am I trying to zoom in and out if you press ctrl + n in Firefox it turns everything negitive and crtl+ "+" it makes everything zoom in... [16:54] hey anyone there?????????????? [16:54] other question... i have removed now older kernal .. but if i do update-grub2 the old one are all listed again [16:54] why [16:54] have i to vremove some stuff manualy [16:55] sbts: I've tried those steps. The most I can get the fn-F4 combo to do is make the screen flicker for a second. Nothing happens to the external monitor. [16:55] archboxman: I have a karmic (9.10) install here that out of the box zooms the screen if you hold the windows key down while scrolling, switching screens is on another modifier key. and I can assure you, that I have not changed the bindings :) [16:55] sbts: further more you could also use the handy cap feature with Assitive Technologies and zoom in the screen [16:56] rethus1: How did you remove the kernel? [16:56] via synaptic [16:56] rethus1: what is your GRUB_GFXMODE set to? [16:57] #GRUB_TERMINAL=console [16:57] What does the F9 key do? and how do I load widgets there? [16:57] comment out [16:57] ah one moment [16:57] this one: #GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480 [16:57] sbts: since we are playing quizies ... in compiz you can use Enhanced Zoom Desktop under Accessibility to Zoom the screen... [16:57] archboxman: that is the feature that I am refering to, it is on by default with this installation :) and I was wondering if that is what caused the problem for xiven where he only had 2 icons and nothing else visible. [16:58] rethus1: uncomment that line and try it. [16:58] Hi all, i'm trying to dual boot with ubuntu (i currently use xp), but i have a very old bios and i'm concerned that it won't read the partition? [16:58] if i format ubuntu on FAT32 should i be okay? [16:59] sudipta, you want to enable compiz? [16:59] don't run FAT32, no [16:59] rethus1: check to see that the kernels are not still in /boot, because the grub2 kernel prober just looks for kernels in /boot and adds them...if they are still there, I don't think you really removed the correct packages [16:59] sbts: was working on a web cam issue with another user not a 2 icons visible... nor do I think that would apply... [16:59] it will support EXT2 or EXT3 [16:59] or EXT4 [16:59] trism: they are all in /boot [16:59] If i install ubuntu on ntfs [16:59] sbts: there is the gconf-editor for those desktop issues...

In Ubuntu 9.04 there was a dialog, where sound device could be changed - like ALSA or Pulse. In 9.10 I see no such a dialog. And currently I have only 1 channel to adjust volume of [17:33] sbts: ok [17:33] Southern_Gentlem: Are you looking at doing this for an install party, or something like this? [17:33] jevidl, i have packaged fedora media, and i am trying to do the same for ubuntu [17:33] Where is sound configuration in Karmic? [17:33] rifter: I have run across security setups that allow scp but block rsync, and sometimes presharedkey only ssh doesn't play with rsync well, there are also other things like versions, and remote OS (eg scp from a remote windows box is easier than rsync) [17:33] any1 good with ifenslave (dual nic booting) ? [17:33] jevidl, yep [17:34] nic teaming that its [17:34] hi guys [17:34] megaherz: system>preferences>sound [17:34] need some help with Poulsbo/GMA500 - based netbook [17:34] good day [17:35] there is a script for it here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCardsPoulsbo/ [17:35] sbts good to know [17:35] Southern_Gentlem: ok, if you're doing a straight ubuntu installs, and you have enough people... you could always setup a local, non-public mirror and do the installs using the alternative CD. it'd have the advantage of being very fast, and you wind up with a completely up to date system. If you want media, you could always just use the install CDs too, they're certainly enough to get someone going [17:35] megaherz: should open a window with a master slider at the top, and tabbed dialogs just beneath it [17:35] but it fails - one of the packages seems borked [17:35] anybody knows about a *working* solution [17:35] i'm not able to use curl functions of php5, is someone can help me ? [17:35] ? [17:35] jevidl, i know all that [17:35] Amqui: -> #php [17:35] sixofour: if you run alsamixer in a terminal, you should be able to adjust the volume for your speakers and headphone seperately [17:35] i don't have alsa [17:35] i use oss [17:35] rysiek|pl: i'm not able to use the curl functions on ubuntu only [17:36] Southern_Gentlem: someone here can correct me if they know better, but I think the biggest difference between the DVD and the CD is how many packages are available off the install media directly. Having just the CDs might be enough. [17:36] sbts but if they're blocking rsync, eithe rtey're blocking rsyncd,or if you are syaing that even rsync over ssh is not working they are somehow blocking applcations with packet analysis of some kind versus blocking ports [17:36] jevidl, nice for them to have the media for later rescue and or to pass on to a friend [17:36] jevidl: you had a problem that didn't get an answer? [17:36] is there a way to setup software raid with ubuntu desktop or that server only? [17:36] the curl functions of php5 are not working on ubuntu, why ? [17:36] sbts, which in the case of rsync would be weird, but ok :D [17:36] Southern_Gentlem: sure. Understanable :) [17:36] sbts also, i am using headphones regularly, manually going into terminal to adjust voluems isn't effecient [17:36] Crimius: I see this dialog. In a tab it has Devices, and the only device in there is: Analog Stereo Duplex. Where is configuration? [17:36] regularly meaning switching back and forth [17:36] Crimius: I mean, I see no channels [17:37] sbts, then again I have sen security setups that block ssh as a security risk, and so require telnet and rsh as "more secure" :D [17:37] sbts: I've been trying to track down why scripts in /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/ are not running correctly on boot up. I have checked the permissions and they are ok (755), and I can run the script manually without error. [17:37] !poulsbo [17:37] Crimius: and in output tab (or how its called in English - dunno - Russian here) there is only one channel: Analog Stereo [17:37] jevidl, thanks for your time, i am going to have to track down the gal that i hang out with at the shows [17:38] I am trying to arrange to synccontacts & calendar between *buntu & a Smartphone.

I've had really great luck with the proprietary driver [17:52] jevidl, come to think of if, the dual-display works ok, only thing is that I can`t configure the proper resolution for the two LCDs [17:53] acovrig, you'd want some kind of perl script for that [17:53] acovrig, soin theory, yes [17:53] you mean you want to remotely control ubuntu using commands sent through email?

[18:01] Ferran, mine cheats and uses google for most of the stuff you would sync, and then you can sync files liek a usb drive [18:03] hy [18:03] for the record his question was [18:03] I am trying to arrange to synccontacts & calendar between *buntu & a Smartphone. I did a bunch of reading, and there seems to be all sorts of bad feelings/opinions between Opensync, SymcML, KDE. No on-time releases, not clear what works and not, and so on.

[18:03] rifter: Yeah there's the sync through Google path. Not the best choice for me. I am just very surprised that Smartphone sync with a PIM is not available!

[18:05] sixofour: interesting, I was unaware that OSS had had a comeback, it was such a mess for so long.

[18:07] What exactly is the line in xorg.conf to set up the display resolution ?

[18:08] rifter From the other day I had an argument in #kde telling me that I am 'stupid' for wanting things on Linux to work like they do on Mac & Windows -- like the syncing that is very available -- and that I should "shut up and do it yourself".

[18:09] rifter for the new Palm phones I read that a SyncML client MAY come soon. Hopefully before the company goes out of business.

[18:09] purpzey: try wicd [18:09] sisif: bydefault it will use the highest validated mode [18:09] sisif: id start by reading the logfile of xorg [18:09] 2 questions: [18:10] sisif: /var/log/Xorg.0.log [18:10] blakkheim: wicd is currently not installed...etc, should I install it? [18:10] rifter Almost as much fun as the robot-people that jump on "anybody" or "anyone", right? ;-) [18:10] purpzey: it will replace network manager (but allows you to quickly refresh the list) so yes, i would install it [18:10] My internet loads incredibly slow in firefox, or tells me that I cannot connect, even though my roomates browser works fine on XP [18:11] whats LTS?..is it something that needs to be purchased? [18:11] !lts [18:11] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04). The next LTS release is scheduled to be !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [18:11] number 2: everytime I open a window in u9.10, it maximizes to the point that it hides the titlebar of said window under the top panel. using gnome [18:11] happy about my ubuntu 9.10 :) [18:11] is there cost involved with LTS? [18:11] mgolisch, I did. There are no errors in it, as far as I can tell. [18:11] no [18:11] any one tell me how do i switch the drivers for nvidia using hardware drivers option [18:11] dark_soul, no [18:12] i know in lucid i can install more than one but use just one [18:12] sisif: nopaste the logfile [18:12] at a time [18:12] coz_: oh...is it a different version altogether? [18:12] My internet loads incredibly slow in firefox, or tells me that I cannot connect, even though my roomates browser works fine on XP [18:12] number 2: everytime I open a window in u9.10, it maximizes to the point that it hides the titlebar of said window under the top panel. using gnome [18:12] sinurge, are you using lucid? if so ask your question in #ubuntu+1 [18:12] could anyone advice me on a cheep webcam for my ubuntu 9.10 +skype 2.1 [18:13] dark_soul, well it's a different version in that the version number is going to be different...and since it is supported for a longer period of time [18:13] ah..so its a version behind it seems [18:13] but dont be tricked, it not covering all packages, i think not even all in main [18:14] zykostick stupid question how do i join that channel [18:14] well got it [18:14] dark_soul, well no that last one was hardy....the next one coming out in april is lucid [18:14] sinurge, "/join #ubuntu+1" should work [18:14] mgolisch, here it is: http://nopaste.info/75ccb4e963.html [18:14] coz_: i'm at the download page..and it seems i only see Ubuntu 8.0.4 LTS [18:14] dark_soul: lucid isn't out yet [18:14] dark_soul, right because it's 3 year support period is up in april [18:15] if i needed a server now, i'd have to use 8.0.4 then [18:15] dark_soul: you dont have to [18:15] if i wanted a longer support cycle [18:15] dark_soul, no you could use the 9.10 server as well [18:15] dark_soul: 8.04 is supported until april of 2011 [18:15] dark_soul, however yes there would be a longer support period with LTS [18:15] My internet loads incredibly slow in firefox, or tells me that I cannot connect, even though my roomates browser works fine on XP [18:15] number 2: everytime I open a window in u9.10, it maximizes to the point that it hides the titlebar of said window under the top panel. using gnome [18:15] dark_soul: it's a fact of software life that new features destabilize things. Some people prefer older software that is, in principle anyway, more tested and has fewer bugs, in compensation for having fewer features [18:15] ubuntu hi arekoye.blogspot.com [18:15] What's the best file system for storing about 270 files of 1.5GB average size on an external hard drive? [18:15] ubuntu hi arekoye.blogspot.com [18:15] sisif: it fails to read the edid info from your monitor, or it says its checksum is invalid, thats why the automatic detection doenst work [18:15] i'm thinking more from a security update perspective [18:16] !best | dsfgh [18:16] dsfgh: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task.

If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [18:16] ubuntu hi www. arekoye.blogspot.com [18:16] areee: stop that [18:16] if i install Ubuntu 9.10 (non LTS)..i'd be screwed with that respect (security updates) [18:16] blakkheim: I explained the factors. [18:16] dark_soul, if you are wanting a server then go with LTS.... it can be upgraded to 10.4 in april if you want [18:16] but it seems Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, i am screwed also, since they are close to end of support [18:16] dsfgh: can't go wrong with ext3.... [18:16] sisif: id google for your monitor model and nvidia, you can either provide modes manualy, or dump the edid and fix it and have the nvidia driver load it from a file on your harddisk instead of quering the display device [18:16] blakkheim I installed wicd it took out network manager but didnt start [18:16] dark_soul: there's more than a year of 8.04 support left [18:17] purpzee: reboot === hejjj111 is now known as jolarn [18:17] dark_soul, well you have until next year for that but the new one comes out at the end of this April ...it is in Alpha right now [18:17] so i used samba to transfer files to my laptop, but now i can't modify them, i can't do anything, i can't even change their permissions using root [18:17] Hello there [18:17] mgolisch, it should run at 1440x900.

Enjoy your stay! [18:17] sisif: is this a laptop display? [18:18] i see...so here's my situation, i am looking to setup a Request Tracker 3.8.2 (which requires perl 5.10)..anyone have experience with Ubuntu 8.04 LTS? [18:18] dark_soul: stability or features. Either/or... [18:18] sisif: or using some adpaters or something? [18:18] dark_soul, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule [18:18] Do you guys know a command that returns the cooputer name through IP address? [18:18] mgolisch, no. There are 2 LCD from Acer [18:18] What's the technically correct way to move between nvidia proprietary drivers and nouveau? A recent lucid upgrade switched me over to nouveau - which is pretty immature on my hardware. [18:18] whether its available via yum [18:18] when does the next LTS come out? don't send me a url, cause my internet is fucked up [18:18] mgolisch, the only adapter i have is from DVI to VGA .. [18:18] (i'm assuming here that ubuntu uses yum) [18:18] henriquelm: like dig -x 8.8.8.8 ? [18:18] sisif: is that the monitor where it fails? [18:18] i've always used redhat [18:18] dark_soul, apt [18:18] ok [18:19] this might cause the edid corruption [18:19] guntbert, will try that [18:19] mgolisch, yes. There are two, infact. Dual display [18:19] when does the next LTS come out? don't send me a url, cause my internet is fucked up [18:20] !language | jgcp [18:20] jgcp: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [18:20] dark_soul, the commands on debian based distributions are easily learned and in my opinion easier to deal with when installing...uninstalling etc etc [18:20] you can provide your displays horsync and vertrefresh values manualy, and tell nvidia to not read the onitors edid , do you have the manual of the displays at hand? if not google or search the vendors page, it should tell [18:20] @ sisif [18:20] guntbert, I believe that my DNS server is not working right cause "dig" didn't work for me [18:20] dark_soul: you may have no choice except to go to karmic to get perl 5.10. What OS/Version do the makers of Request Tracker 3.8.2 recommend? You'll have the best luck if you run it on the same OS as they developed/tested it on... [18:21] forgive me [18:21] henriquelm: OpenDNS [18:21] Losha: not sure about the OS but they do recommend perl 5.10 [18:21] :))) [18:21] mgolisch, that`s exactly what I had in mind. But, where more precisely in xorg.conf do I write the modes ? [18:21] but answer my question [18:21] Losha: i take it that karmic is the new Ubuntu? [18:21] henriquelm: you can try dig -x 8.8.8.8 @8.8.8.8 to use another server [18:21] WTF [18:21] NOT GOOGLES SERVER [18:22] :) [18:22] Use 208.67.222.222 / 208.67.220.220 instead [18:22] hi all [18:22] guntbert, I only have one local DNS server [18:22] any alternative browsers for ubuntu? firefox keeps going unstable while loading wiki pages [18:22] www.opendns.com << [18:22] guntbert, but thanks anyway! [18:22] sisif: all you usualy need is add the vertrefresh and horizontalsync values to the monitor section and then add a line like Option Nodedid to the driver section [18:22] gareth: Opera [18:22] !language > AlienDK [18:22] AlienDK, please see my private message [18:22] RavoxX, was that for me? [18:22] -.- [18:23] AlienDK: isn't opera proprietary? [18:23] It is [18:23] But its a good alternative [18:23] dark_soul: karmic koala 9.10 (cheesy name) is the newest Ubuntu version. It's usable, but buggier than 8.04 LTS. Do some more research on the product & save yourself some headaches... [18:23] AlienDK: i wouldn't use it then [18:23] mgolisch, I see. I`ll try that right now.

If I reload the orinoco_pci module it can see some access points for a while (then they disappear). I'm using wicd as my net manager. I tried the hostap drivers and they cause the system to hang.

[19:26] flowtron: you need the tee becouse sudo does not work over pipes [19:26] rethus: right clicking on the .iso and clicking "burn to disk" will burn appropriately [19:27] I'm root, I did "sudo su -" - to avoid constant sudo-ing :) [19:27] whats tailf? [19:27] flowtron: better to do sudo -s [19:27] markd: man tailf [19:27] markd: tailf will print the last 10 lines of a file and any lines that are added to that file as they are updated [19:27] markd: it just show the end of a file as it grows. usefull to watch log files [19:27] fccf: i have kubuntu [19:27] and started k3b [19:28] flowtron: avoid that - use use sudo -i if you *must* [19:28] how's tailf different than tail -f? hadn't heard of tailf. [19:28] cellofellow: same here [19:28] cellofellow: see the man page :) [19:28] doesn't say anything about cdrom [19:28] oh, more efficient, less polling of the file [19:28] well, sudo specialities aside .. the 0 value in tcp_window_scaling didn't help - erUSUL do you have any other ideas? [19:28] says something about usb disconnect [19:29] flowtron: nope. restore the default setting (echo 1) [19:29] * duffydack learned something new from erUSUL [19:29] usb 5-1.2 5-1.3 etc [19:29] markd: please make the log aviable in a pastebin [19:29] !pastebin [19:29] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

[19:30] thanks [19:30] is there anyone that can tell me a good way to figure out why flash games run so slowly on UNR9.04 as opposed to when I boot up in xp (Dual boot)? [19:30] markd: :/ so you see a lot of usb disconnects? can you try with different usb cable and port ? [19:30] does ext4 get really slow after a while? [19:31] when I right click on nm-applet, choose configure connections, add a wired connection and select manual in ipv4 tab, the "apply" button changes its state to disabled, no matter if I fill in any options. how do I configure a wired connection with static ip?

I noticed that the frequency scaler only goes down to 1 GHz. Is there a way to set the bottom to something lower, such as 800 MHz? [19:31] mphill_: only if you fill up your drive [19:31] Dj_FlyBy[Mobile]: mostly because Adobe makes a really crappy Flash Player for linux, which doesn't take advantage of a lot of optimization technologies. [19:31] mphill_: nope [19:31] fccf, i purged the ff files, deleted the .mozilla folder and installed it fresh after a reboot, and then i rebooted and yet the problem persists :( [19:31] luist, id use gthumb, its a viewer with some nice tools [19:31] theres a bunch of disconnects [19:31] the weird there is it does mount the drive [19:32] flowtron: excuse to cellofellow: I didn't mean to say "avoid sudo -s" [19:32] but synaptic is not seeing it [19:32] thing* not there [19:32] thegeekyhaxor: 2 ?'s ... 1. what version of ubuntu? 2. what deb line is in your sources.list .. let's make sure you have everything correct [19:32] guntbert: the differences between -s and -i are subtle, but still, either is better than hacks like sudo su or sudo bash. === peleg__ is now known as peleg [19:32] is it maybe a issue with synaptic? [19:33] fccf: im on karmic kaola 64 bit [19:33] I think -s is safer cause it doesn't run the login shell stuff that -i does. [19:33] cellofellow: thats exactly what I wanted to say - didn't see your reply before - hence the apology [19:33] and the deb line for ff is http://ppa.launchpad.net/mozillateam/firefox-stable/ubuntu === Rainbow is now known as Guest23069 [19:34] guntbert: no worries [19:34] cellofellow: don't suppose there is any way to fix this is there..... [19:34] Hello. I'm trying to install Ubuntu 9.10 from a USB flash drive with UNetbootin, but my computer apparently doesn't see the flash drive and none of the instruction pages I've found have anything in the way of trouble-shooting. [19:34] cellofellow: sudo -i is safer becouse it does not use the user's shell init scripts it uses root's [19:34] because i am trying to install drivers from cd but synaptic keeps telling me to insert the cd but its in [19:35] hi [19:35] Cala: maybe it is just that your bios does not support booting from a usb drive ? [19:35] erUSUL: ok, good to know [19:35] (Going from a Windows install to making a Linux machine.) [19:35] maybe its looking for the wubi file? but i can't add my ubuntu cd either [19:35] if i go to add cd in the edit menu [19:35] cellofellow: :-) (I prefer -i, *because* it sets the complete environment ...) [19:35] er: Lemme get into BIOS and my boot menu, I'll show you my options. I'm not very good with this stuff, hang on. [19:35] boy am I slow today :-) [19:35] thegeekyhaxor: is that all of your deb line... you need to specify ia64 [19:35] can anybody tell me how can i detect my reliance netconnect modem in ubuntu 9.10 [19:36] :Cala The CD install is more straightforward. [19:36] Dj_FlyBy[Mobile]: not that I know of. Gnash isn't compatible with a lot of Flash stuff but it is faster than Adobe Flash Player. Maybe give that a try. [19:36] and the deb line for ff is http://ppa.launchpad.net/mozillateam/firefox-stable/ubuntu karmic main [19:36] did anyone see what i wrote? [19:36] I didn't have access to a CD-R at the time.

[20:38] if you move it back to the original parition do the paroblems go away? [20:39] Currently I'm mounting a specific directory using mhddfs (which uses fuse). Would that be an issue? [20:39] MJ94, yes, i'm aware of what dhcp is, but dhclient gets no leases [20:39] that would be my guess. [20:39] Okay. [20:39] how do I set arch for make? [20:39] DBeets: desktop [20:39] niku, haven't tried that yet... not at that pc right now. hmm, i'll have to keep looking for a solution then [20:39] Zetty, fuse, if memory serves, runs in userspace; it might be expecting to access var [20:40] Zetty, so it could be a chicken/egg thing [20:40] I still need help with getting Wi-Fi to work on my Ubuntu [20:41] Zetty, also, why are you using fuse, is the underlying fs different from a standard unix fs? Eg: sshfs, ntfs, etc? [20:41] It doesn't find the access point [20:41] how to add a guest user that wouldnt require a password? [20:42] niku: ahh, okay. it was the only thing i could think of on short notice. Can I mount just a directory through fstab? [20:42] natrixnatrix89: you have one already : in the user switcher select "guest session" [20:42] so does anybody knwo what to do if "dhclient eth0" fails? [20:42] thanks guntbert [20:43] natrixnatrix89: you're welcome :-) [20:43] DBeets: if it help out some i got it install but in the appearance under system i cant do visual Effects [20:43] scone: in what way does it fail? [20:44] zetty - you can loop mount a directory if I recall correctly [20:44] guntbert, it prints out "DHCPDISCOVER" a bunch of times but never gets a reply [20:44] steven__: The card is installed or the effects are installed? [20:44] scone: are you sure that the cable is connected? [20:45] Does anyone know why Wi-Fi wont work with my MN-730 Adapter? I literally just installed Ubuntu 9.10 === rainbow is now known as Guest78985 [20:45] <[Adam|Linux]> Is it possible to change the names of workspaces? [20:45] guntbert, of course. And it was just working in Windows [20:45] Dbeets: i know the effects are but how can i see if the card is [20:45] guntbert, and in gentoo [20:45] hank_ is it usb or pci? [20:45] PCI [20:45] DBeets: i do think it is [20:45] hank_ what does lspci say? [20:45] natrixnatrix89: PCI [20:46] scone: strange - does manual configuration of the interface work? [20:46] natrixnatrix89: Network controller: Boradcom Corperation BCM43xG 802.11b/g (rev 02) [20:47] meaning giving it an ip manuallly? [20:47] scone: yes [20:47] scone: only to test things [20:48] guntbert, i'll give it a try [20:48] just ifconfig eth0 ip right? [20:48] hank_ youre not the only one with that problem http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1136474 [20:49] scone: and netmask and (maybe) gateway [20:49] hello - i cannot access any service (vnc http ssh ...) on my second machine. no firewall activated - what could i do? [20:49] hank_: but is the module loaded for the card? [20:49] Is Ubuntu 64bit supposed to use around 700-800MB of RAM ? [20:49] hank_ and is the driver installed? [20:49] maybe try lsmod [20:49] guntbert, oh wait a sec, if dhclient says "dhcpdiscover on eth1 to 255.255.255.255" does that mean that 255.255.255.255 is the netmask? [20:49] natrixnatrix89: I have no clue. Only if it comes with Ubuntu 9.10 [20:50] scone: no - but do you have two NICs? [20:51] natrixnatrix89: when I do "iwlist scan" I get a "Network is down" error [20:51] guntbert, yes [20:51] scone: no, that's a broadcast address to everyone on that network segment [20:51] and iwconfig shows the device? [20:51] Okay. should i just sudo apt-get install wine? [20:51] scone: and eth1 *is* the one where you expect dhcp to work? [20:52] well thats the thing i'm not sure which is wich [20:52] it shows "wlan0 Failed to read scan data - network is down" [20:52] I have a laptop Acer Aspire 5930. After system starts, I have BLUETOOTH enabled, while i want it OFF by default. How to do this? [20:52] whats up guys? [20:52] g'morning... [20:52] scone: then try to use eth0 for dhcp [20:52] morning [20:53] hank_: if you can see the device with iwconfig, maybe try installing wicd [20:53] is there any way I can boot a laptop without monitor (from CD?) and access and configure it entirely over the network? [20:53] i just installed ubuntu-desktop onto my server but I'm not getting any sound out of HDMI (which comes from an SPDIF passthrough on the Mobo to a GeForce 9400) [20:53] Is there a way of disabling pulseaudio support for a specific user? I can't find a setting related to it in the gconf settings. I'm about to look in the user directory [20:53] i also unmuted IEC985 in alsa mixer [20:53] baffling [20:54] guntbert, dhclient tries both [20:54] plouffe: not with Ubuntu I think. Ubuntu (at least the desktop CD) doesn't come with SSH installed I think. [20:54] natrixnatrix89: I don't have access to the internet on the computer. [20:54] plouffe: might work with Ubuntu Server, though. [20:54] cellofellow, just burn teh server CD and try that? [20:54] scone: look at the output of ip link - to see which nic is connected [20:54] could just blind type and login, install ssh [20:55] DBeets: you still here [20:55] plouffe: um, no actually. The SSH doesn't kick in till it's actually installed. [20:55] cellofellow, any other distro/CD that might do it? [20:55] so i assume the one that says "UP" is the one that's plgged in? [20:55] it's eth0 [20:55] plouffe: you could remove the hard drive from the laptop, use another machine to install to that hard drive, then put the hard drive back in. [20:55] hank_: http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/net/wicd [20:56] download it and copy it to flash then.. [20:56] hello, can someone tell me how to register Nick here [20:56] /msg Nickserv help [20:56] Hello! Grub error 13: invalid or unsupported executable format while trying DualBoot with Fedora :( Why? [20:56] thanks [20:57] hank_: after installing restart computer, and you can see it in Applications>internet>Wicd Network manager [20:57] Hello! Grub error 13: invalid or unsupported executable format while trying DualBoot with Fedora :( Why? [20:57] scone: then try the manual config on eth0, you need not specify a gateway, netmask is usually 255.255.255.0 [20:58] so that'd be ifconfig eth0 ip 255.255.255.0? [20:58] natrixnatrix89: Thanks. It'll probably be a few minutes [20:58] craaaaap [20:58] gtg [20:58] ok gotta go.. Bye [20:59] Hello!

[20:59] hello - i cannot access any service (vnc http ssh ...) on my second machine. no firewall activated - what could i do?

[21:00] erUSUL thanks for your help, the problem seems to be unsolvable, I guess I'll try plain Debian/GNU :-P [21:00] guntbert, yeah i do [21:00] damn, how do i do it? [21:00] what's the syntax for setting it manually? [21:01] How do I find out what assembler make uses? [21:01] raven: start at the beginning: What's the server running? Can you ping it? [21:02] Losha, ping works but nothing else it seems [21:02] raven: what os and version? [21:02] hey, can anyone verify if Plymouth works with Karmic? [21:02] scone: its ifconfig eth0 netmask 255.255.255.0 (probably) [21:02] Losha, 9.04 [21:03] My WUSB600N is working, but it can't connect to the WEP router [21:03] How can I get it to work? [21:03] It sees the router [21:03] Raven: well, either the server processes aren't running, or there's a firewall in the way. ps ax on the server to confirm the processes are active... [21:04] Losha, what to do? [21:04] nXhQXv2W: Wouldn't the makefile define that? [21:04] !list [21:04] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [21:04] !join [21:04] Losha, the processes are running as i can confirm by loopback [21:04] This hasn't worked for *months* [21:04] Losha, on the server [21:04] guntbert, still no luck. ifconfig says reports the ne ip address but i still can't connect to the net [21:05] raven: was there ever any firewall software installed on the server? [21:05] !wifi [21:05] Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [21:05] Losha, no [21:05] steven__: what does lspci | grep VGA give you? [21:05] scone: was it a fresh install? [21:05] mguy: n/s looking at it I have no idea. How would I find out if it does? [21:05] guntbert, yup [21:05] this is kubuntu tho [21:06] if it's not huge put the makefile on pastebin or link to it online if it's on a ftp [21:06] Losha, but i just saw that the iptables config is not as empty as on the first system - how to reset it? [21:06] Are you getting an error or just trying ot use a different/new assembler? [21:06] Hey guys, if I wanted some help with Ubuntu, is this the channel to ask my questions? [21:06] yes [21:06] raven: iptables -F should flush it. But that means you have *some* kind of firewalling/packet processing going on [21:06] ok thanks [21:07] Losha, seems like that but i cannot locate it [21:07] how do i restart mysql on ubuntu server? LTS [21:07] Losha, network restart after iptables -F? [21:07] cli4life: sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart [21:08] thanks [21:08] scone: I think there is a different network manager - but .... - another question: what do you mean by "still can't connect to the net" ? [21:08] >< im used to service XXXX restart [21:08] :/ [21:08] raven: shouldn't need to. Try to ssh in from another host, preferably a linux box [21:08] guntbert, ping www.google.com doesn't work [21:08] My university has their servers setup in a way that I can use my computer to connect to theirs through ssh; is it possible for me to setup one of my computers at home in that manner so I can always connect to it through a textbased command terminal? [21:08] nor does pinging my router (192.168.69.1) [21:08] steven__: type 'lspci | grep VGA' into terminal [21:08] does anyone know where I can check if my gfx card is supported by Plymouth? [21:08] guntbert, I'm booting the livecd now to see if that gets connection [21:09] Losha, no still no access [21:09] scone: thats too far away - try to ping one host in your network (you had no gateway set) [21:09] raven: can you do it with 'ssh -v' to get some debugging output? [21:09] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/UiyA9yHm [21:09] Hello! Grub error 13: invalid or unsupported executable format while trying DualBoot with Fedora :( Why? [21:09] scone: ok , try with live is a good idea :) [21:09] alwaizlern: If you set your computer up at home to run openssh-server, yes you can. (also set your routers/firewall appropriately) [21:09] Losha, on the server or on the client? [21:10] 00:31 2010 [21:10] Hello! Grub error 13: invalid or unsupported execut [21:10] mguy, ok thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I'll google more on this! :) [21:10] alwaizlern: just do an apt-get openssh-server [21:10] raven: ssh -v on the client should give you plenty of debug output [21:10] hi, all. I want to make it so that when I type "myfile" anywhere in Terminal, it opens the file. Instead of "/path/to/file/myfile" [21:10] Why the **** does my WEP key keep disappearing!?!? [21:11] !google > luminolblue [21:11] I enter it in and it disappears! [21:11] mguy: im getting an error Assembler ERROR: No %arch defined [21:11] ipatrol_: you shouldn't be using wep anyway [21:11] Losha every acces seems like a timeout (http, vnc, ssh, ....) [21:11] ipatrol: wireless interference? [21:11] I don't have a choice [21:11] ectropy: create a bash script and copy/move it to the /usr/bin directory, a symbolic link may work too [21:11] ipatrol: microwaves, 2.4 gHz phones... [21:11] The router is WEP and is only WEP [21:11] raven: that just means nothing's getting through... [21:11] Losha, ssh only gives "connecting on port 22" and then holds for some time" [21:11] guntbert, wtf... livecd works great [21:12] ectropy: I've tried for three months [21:12] if you overwrite your MBR, do you have to reinstall grub via the liveCD to restore it? will removing the partition that overwrote the MBR be a terrible, terrible idea?

[21:15] ipatrol_: tried resetting your router to its default config and then setting it back up? [21:15] steven__, it's an nividia card 8400 [21:15] scone: my best advice at the moment: try do completely reconfigure your interface for automatic - but it would be a good idea to take notes of the working config [21:15] nXhQXv2W: Did you download the b43-tools fiel [21:15] ectropy: I can't [21:15] mguy: yes and installed them. [21:16] it's password was lost and the default won't work [21:16] ipatrol_: weird [21:16] scone: I don't know how to reconfigure the interfaces with the network too in kubuntu - so maybe ask in #kubuntu [21:16] *tool [21:16] nXhQXv2W: What document are you working from [21:16] ipatrol_, what network manager are u using?

[22:28] vi [22:28] or gedit [22:28] or nano [22:28] erUSUL: gdebi? [22:28] Helsinkiii: do you remember which commands you ran? [22:28] Helsinkiii: only that? how can that cause all you decribe after a reboot? [22:28] dabaR: i downloaded the .deb from the site [22:29] hiexpo: OK, now what? [22:29] erUSUL: it's all i did, i swear [22:29] mbmccormick: edit /etc/apt/sources.list as blakkheim suggested. You should see an entry for multiverse, or a couple. uncomment them, then run sudo aptitude update, then the package should be available. [22:29] i thought u said it was working [22:29] Helsinkiii: remember if gdebi removed packages when installing chrome? [22:29] Helsinkiii: and then you double clicked it? [22:29] erUSUL: i tried installing chromium after via command line but i accicdentlly installed the game instead lol [22:29] dabaR:yes [22:29] hiexpo: I have wired, but not wireless [22:30] oh ok [22:30] Helsinkiii: :) [22:30] excellent! thank you everyone! :) [22:30] I'm back, trying to install Ubuntu from a CD this time. Everything seemed to be going fine until I got to the installation, where it seems to hang on copying files (56% of the installation done). Does copying the files take a long time or did the install get messed up somehow? [22:30] I'm on empathy, so you can ask for pastes [22:30] mbmccormick: youre welcome. [22:30] erUSUL thanks your anwser, i will setup it :) [22:30] i'm seriously freaking out now [22:31] Sami: no problem [22:31] you have no idea [22:31] i have to leave and go to work here now i will research it for you and will be back on tomorrow about 9 ish here pacific time [22:31] my files dont even show up [22:31] and i gotta submit 2 assignments i did by midnight [22:31] Cala: it can take a while, what does it say it's doing? [22:31] hiexpo: contact me at ipatrol6010@yahoo.com [22:31] Helsinkiii: then maybe there was a hard disk error ? [22:31] ok [22:31] erUSUL can i ask an other thing ? if i want to traffic the prints, and it must confirm on the admin computer, how can I do it ? (or pm?) [22:31] Dbeets: Copying files. It's been at the same spot for about 20 minutes now. [22:32] Helsinkiii: well, how comfortable are you with the command line? [22:32] dabaR: not too shabby [22:32] Sami: traffic the prints ? [22:32] Helsinkiii: btw, don't worry, you are at the right place to get help with this :) [22:32] dabaR: i'm a compsci student, not a technician but i can give anything a try [22:32] Helsinkiii: do you know how to drop to the console? [22:32] jrib i installed flashplugin-installer but flash still not working in firefox for 64 bit ubuntu [22:32] drop?no [22:32] Helsinkiii: alt-ctrl-f1 [22:32] Helsinkiii: that should give you a login screen. [22:33] anyone willing to pick up for me? [22:33] on my router issue? [22:33] for example, the admin of the system doesent want to print stupid img-s, texts, she see it, and if it's ok, she allow to send it to printer, is it possible ? [22:33] Cala: do you see any activity? Like Harddrive or CD drive lights flashing? [22:33] dabaR:im there [22:33] dabaR: i got some ugly lines [22:33] Helsinkiii: logged in? [22:33] Dbeets: Nope, seem to be pretty steady. I can still move the mouse around though.

[22:36] ipatrol_: why can't you connect? [22:36] Dbeets: mmk, I'll let it keep going. Any idea how much longer I should give it before I try something else? [22:36] dabaR: the adapter tries, but it fails at the last second [22:36] dabaR:nothing happens [22:36] dabaR: it keeps saying Login: [22:37] ipatrol_: so you can see the access point in the list of avail networks? [22:37] Helsinkiii: you can not log in? [22:37] dabaR: yes [22:37] dabaR:no [22:37] and I see my adapter in iwconfig [22:37] dabaR:what do i type in? user or pass [22:37] dabaR, umm well I'm trying to annonymize my entire connection via VPN but im using the pptp plugin under network manager [22:37] Helsinkiii: username first, then it will ask for password [22:37] Cala: if it doesn't change in another 15-20 min I'd start to think about starting over. [22:37] dabaR:doesn't work [22:38] scott_ino2: and there is not keep-alive option? [22:38] thats a problem :| [22:38] DBeets: just reboot and reinstall? [22:38] Helsinkiii: and you can log in through the GUI login? [22:38] dabar:yes [22:38] dabaR, I mean it just disconnects after a min or two... [22:38] Helsinkiii: "i'm a compsci student, not a technician" -- that's the funniest thing I've read in years, thanks! [22:38] ipatrol_: do you have the connection encrypted, or no key? [22:38] Losha: it's true i suck at this stuff [22:38] hi [22:39] dabaR: encrypted with key, no password [22:39] dabaR: i might just pass out [22:39] i have ubuntu 8.04lts [22:39] is there any audio player that run with smb folder ??? [22:39] ipatrol_: try without encryption, I think that is the only problem. [22:39] pedrohoffmann: mpd [22:39] Hi, what are the downsides of disabling apparmor? [22:39] and i have installed it [22:39] Cala: That would be easier than trying to fix a half-installed system. [22:39] Helsinkiii: you sure you can not log in? Give it another try. [22:39] blakkheim, good player ? [22:39] but i have a problem [22:39] dabaR: the network is encrypted [22:39] dabaR, what do you mean by encryption? I didnt say anything about encryption [22:39] Helsinkiii: do you happen to have a desktop CD kicking around? [22:39] pedrohoffmann: my favorite [22:40] Losha: Helsinkiii Edsger Dijkstra stated, "Computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes." [22:40] and i wann a help to fix it [22:40] Quick question. If when installing Ubuntu i386 server, it asks: "Encrypt Home Directory?" Once server is installed, is it possible to decrypt said directory? [22:40] anyone else use devede to make dvd's from avi files? [22:40] can any body help me? [22:40] Helsinkii: tried doing a 'fsck' on the partition yet? [22:40] Helsinkiii: that way you can get the stress out of the way, and focus on fixing it when you don't have a deadline on your head [22:40] dabaR:i do [22:40] dabaR: i just installed 9.10 like last week lol [22:40] !ask | priyank_ [22:40] priyank_: 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).

[22:47] Losha, i know that also. i have been having a lot of issues with wasting discs ever since I am trying out lucid. i just recently extracted the iso that devede created before burning it to disc and it doesn't have an AUDIO_TS folder, only a VIDEO_TS folder. so I guess I just found a bug. [22:47] erUSUL, Failure: Module initializion failed [22:48] dabaR the names, or the apps completly ? [22:48] seanbrystone: :( [22:48] dabaR: it does not work!

[22:50] mazda01: well the AUDIO_TS folder, though part of the spec, was never used, so lots of players don't notice if it's missing, but it's sloppy programming. Try generating the folders and using mkisofs to generate the iso or growisofs to burn them to dvd [22:50] mazda01: qdvdauthor ? [22:50] MegaHerz: can you remove --purge? [22:50] priyank_ yeah, i have seen only gnome before :P [22:50] dabaR: sure [22:50] MegaHerz: with apttude [22:50] guys I deleted something off my panel by mistake it was the button that shows your username and when you press it it lets you choose shutdown/restart/logout etc. how do i put this back in there the same way it WAS? i tried something else off of "add to panel" but it only adds apower button and not the same options as i had before anyone have an idea?

[23:01] Im running 9.10... [23:01] Just for everyone's benefit...It seems there is a bug with MySQL 5.1+ and Ubuntu 9.10 and apparmor. This affects user who want to change the data folder. The only way to do it (which I've found so far) is to disable the MysQL profile in apparmor [23:01] skata: what do you mean by noises ? [23:01] I don't really know how to explain :S [23:01] Hey I have a quick question, and I'm a Linux noobie--under the System Monitor, there are a lot of Processes open, and the majority of them are Sleeping, and using resources. Are all of them mandatory or can I close out of some of them? I don't know what a lot of these do so I don't want to Stop them. [23:01] alzamabar, MySQL and apparmor: this combination is just an abomination !!! [23:02] nimrod10: Couldn't agree more [23:02] markd..... are you ...using... kubuntu? or xubuntu? [23:02] skata: it could be a cable connection problem, or you have the volume turned up too high [23:02] had and have the same problem [23:02] when using windows, it works fine, but with ubuntu there are noises... [23:02] hello everyone. I have a two part question for you all. Where I work has a pretty crazy web filter (i.e. I can't get on wikipedia). I believe that there is a proxy server as a part of the local network to get on to the internet. Now, my question would be if I set my ubuntu box located at home to act as a proxy server for me, do you think that if I logged on at work and used my ubuntu box at home as a proxy server, that I could get around th [23:02] filter. Also, is there a way to use multiple proxy servers (i.e. both my work proxy server and then my home proxy server)? [23:02] @Typos_King regular ubuntu [23:02] if this doesn't make any sense please let me know [23:03] @Trinity: What? o.O [23:03] 9.10 uses like 1gb ram and sometimes 50% of my q9000 [23:03] skata: sorry I don't get what you mean [23:03] alzamabar, you won't imagine how many times I had to scream whilst finding this combination again and again [23:03] nimrod10: However in the end I decided to keep apparmor and the default data dir for mysql. Apparmor has got some benefits because the profiles are loaded into the kernel at bootup [23:03] open firefox and few other aplications and just open it and watch whaere will go your cpu and ram [23:03] alzamabar, I wish the ubuntu devs would not put mysql in the apparmor profile [23:03] my vocabulary when it comes to sounds is not the best...

[23:05] yep [23:05] gdiz: what you want is possible. You'd need a proxy server running on your home machine, an ssh connection between work and home to send the proxy requests over, and a proxy file for the web browser to tell it which urls get sent to which proxy. [23:05] duncanidaho1: is known issue. see launchpad [23:05] nimrod10: apparmor makes sense in production environments (think of a bank) where there must be a sandbox avoiding, say a hacked version of mysql, from interfering with the OS memory address space. But for home users (like myself) it really doesn't make sense [23:05] markd: .... ... can't say then.. I know knetworkmanager has issues on some stuff, but dunno any on nm-applet from ubuntu [23:05] i cant get open ssh server [23:05] why? [23:06] how do i switch drivers on my wireless interface ? [23:06] it says that is not readable [23:06] @Typos_King could you reccomend a different driver?

[23:06] 5 instances** === OneFileEt4Types is now known as OneFilleEt4Types [23:06] nimrod10: And the idea of having to "confine" all the folders that a program can possibly touch into a configuration file it seems a bit too much bureaucracy if you ask me [23:06] duncanidaho1: http://www.myscienceisbetter.info/install-native-64bit-flash-player-10-on-linux.html [23:06] markd I don't think is the driver, if you're connecting [23:07] fr [23:07] derekboy: the getty processes are for your consoles. [23:07] alzamabar, I know apparmor's role and I totally agree with it. It is just that it is a pain in combination with MySQL. And the worst thing is there is no documentation when it comes to this combination [23:07] Losha, do you know how I would set up that proxy file up for firefox, chrome, or Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, Internet Explorer would be the best option at work. [23:07] why i cant get open ssh server with aptget [23:07] markd: more like either lack of wep/wep2 but I hardly doubt, wep/wep2 installs automatically out of the box.... so I'd thinik might be something with your network password or your network manager [23:07] derekboy: try ctrl + alt + f1 (ctrl + alt + f7 gets you back) to see what the getty is, [23:07] Hi all, is anyone willing to help me mount an partition that is on a dd-created drive image. That is; i imaged the whole drive to a file and now i want to mount one of the two partitions in the file. The problem is that the partition table is non-standard. The table is out of order, sda2 comes b4 sda1. So i am having difficulty calculating the correct offset. Thanks!

[23:27] !sudo | Curly_Q [23:27] Curly_Q: 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.

Is this how it works? [23:28] I would have assumed that it would ask for a password on installation. [23:28] Curly_Q: yes, the root account is locked on anew install for security reasons, learn to use sudo [23:28] @Losha: http://paste.ubuntu.com/384743/ [23:29] My ignorance then. [23:29] Curly_Q: you can't brute force a locked root account :) [23:29] When I used Red Hat 9 it would ask for a definitive password for su- [23:29] VaffanculoNostra: (great nick btw) It's a bad sign. Can you run the fsck manually? [23:29] Curly_Q: there's no 'su' in debian-based *nix, or is disabled for that matter, though you can always do -> sudo su -; if you wish..... but sudo should be working and is most recommended to use [23:30] Curly_Q: instead of su, use sudo -i [23:30] Losha: It is root (/) [23:30] derekboy: ok, that means it's not started from /etc/init.d. You're going to have to search for it. How large is the disk? [23:31] VaffanculoNostra: boot a live cd, then run fsck from it on the root partition, ok? [23:31] @Losha: Default Wubi install is ~25GB [23:31] Losha: you can start and stop services from sudo service name start/stop now :> [23:31] Losha: Okay. [23:31] Losha: Or I could backup and keep it going and see if it stops working [23:31] there is anyway to use pendrive to install ubuntu instead of dvd? [23:32] zinox: yes [23:32] I don't understand the *then part. Is that a wildcard? [23:32] abe3k how ? [23:32] Curly_Q: sudo works fine as well, and yes, I've used su just as well, you can always open a root terminal session btw, if you need any, but sudo suffices most times [23:32] @Losha: I opened the File Manager and searched it in there. It shows some files but not the file that's under System Monitor [23:33] zinox: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [23:33] zinox: install the application usb-creator-gtk if you don't have it, or goto system/admin/USB startup disk creator [23:33] So in the command prompt: sudo [23:33] zinox: you'll have to have the cd image of the version you want to install [23:33] VaffanculoNostra: up to you. As long as you understand that the disk may fail unexpectedly at any moment. A permanent fsck failure is really just a symptom. It means that the disk has failed. [23:33] ok [23:33] thank you [23:33] Curly_Q: sudo appname, then it will ask for your password [23:34] Typos_King i got my wifi adapter working, I had to use a 32bit 9.10 the 64bit didnt work. [23:34] I don't figure this out. Why is it asking for a passphrase or password when on installation It did not ask me then? Please explain? [23:34] derekboy: try running 'find / -xdev | egrep -i enigma' and see if locates the binary [23:35] wirechief: ..... I see [23:35] It would seem that that would be a hackers dream to just use sudo and any password. [23:35] Curly_Q: on instalation, you provide a user passwrod. after instalation, you use sudo, the password needed for sudo is your login password. root does not have a password. [23:35] built a pc today, MSI 790FX-GD70 mobo, but i cannot get connected to the internet, i have flashing lights and dhcp enabled [23:36] The installation never asked for a password, just a rood Name. That's it. [23:36] Curly_Q: the first account created can use sudo, allother account cannot even use sudo unless the admin allows that [23:36] Curly_Q: See this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [23:36] rood = root name. [23:36] hey guys [23:36] im looking for a mailserver that requires minimal configuration [23:36] Curly_Q: Which version of ubuntu are you using? [23:36] specifically an SMTP server [23:37] just for sending out community newsletters etc [23:37] can someone point me in the right direction for one of those? [23:37] Curly_Q: sudo is an 'execution by proxy', so is meant to be more secure than a 'su' session, though I haven't stumbled upon the technical differences heeh [23:37] The latest download i386 Ubuntu server. [23:37] Curly_Q: For more information, see this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [23:38] BluesKaj-Laptop the wifi issue I was having with the rtl8192su got resolved by using 32 bit ubuntu 9.10 and ndiswrapper 1.54 [23:38] @Losha: Found it. [23:38] Curly_Q: it should have asked for a username and password, those are your user credentials, there is no root password in ubuntu, the root account is locked by default [23:38] joineric: did the kernel even see the nic? dmesg | egrep -i eth [23:38] derekboy: where? [23:38] how do you see the /dev/ path to your CD ROM? [23:38] It is possible that I just missed an install querry for a password. Maybe the keyboard enter hit twice. But in that case it should have been a blank for a password in which I tried that too. [23:38] @Losha: /var/lib/boinc-client/........ [23:38] MilitantPotato: first one is almost always /dev/sr0 etc... [23:38] @Losha: There's more subfolders [23:39] i've lost all icons (right clicking is even disabled) when i did a command with the gconftool-2, and now logging out/rebooting doesn't even help.....all contents are still in the /home/userdir/Desktop.....i need help!! [23:39] Curly_Q: if this is a fresh nstall, I'd do it again [23:39] @Losha: Can I just delete the 'boinc-client' folder since it's not installed anymore? [23:39] Losha: i dont believe so, in setup i had to skip network configuration [23:39] derekboy: someone said the client was probably still around. Try apt-get remove boinc-client first [23:40] Ardchoille, yeah! Another Two Hours again. :) <----------------------< I will try again and see what the story is. [23:40] joineric: configuration is not the same as recognition. What does 'dmesg | egrep -i eth' say [23:40] wirechief, my driver doesn't work on a 64 bit sytem i guess , and it's the rt2870 , so I was wrong to assume the application would work :( [23:40] @Losha: Wow thanks, it is. I uninstalled it through Software Center yesterday though.... [23:40] Curly_Q: two hours? A fresh install takes me 15 minutes tops [23:40] BluesKaj-Laptop: right, well now we know. [23:40] Not on this bad boy system. For some reason. [23:40] Losha, yes when the client runs it does so in the background, and the projects you've attached to are run by it [23:41] derekboy: lazy programmers don't clean up after themselves... [23:41] uninstalling the gui won't stop it [23:41] All of that DMI stuff and more with SCSI interfaces. [23:41] @Losha: Thanks for the advice. Removing it through apt actually killed the process too [23:41] wirechief, I've basically given up on wifi for my linux desktop pc. [23:42] derekboy: ah, the small victories.... [23:42] BluesKaj-Laptop I had tried using a linksys adapter with the rt2870 and gave up on it and got the belkin === zinox is now known as killown [23:43] Ardchoille, just curious, have you been able to use older SCSI scanners and devices with Ubuntu server? [23:43] wirechief, mine is a belkin , it uses the rt2870 driver :) [23:43] BluesKaj-Laptop: yes wifi adapters are a hit or miss. I first got the Belkin working on Kanotix, you might give it a shot, kano made did some special coding to make wifi work [23:43] Losha: r8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver 2.3LK-NAPI loaded [23:43] @Losha: Okay, I would greatly appreciate one more issue I need help with. Under System Monitor, there are like a bazillion Sleeping processes open that are not visible (as in, they're running in the background). Are all of these necessary, or can I stop them from starting at system startup? [23:43] BluesKaj-Laptop: ok, well then you must have a different model than i . [23:44] Curly_Q: haven't tried it [23:44] joineric: interesting. I have the exact same driver only version 2.2LK. No more eth0 lines in your dmesg? [23:45] well wirechief , it's no biggie because I use eth0 on the desktop with /etc/network/interfaces and stsatic IP behind the router [23:45] BluesKaj-Laptop: I have a N wireless USB network adapter model 8053 ver 6 [23:45] derekboy: usually you can get rid of some of them. There are web pages on it I seem to recall. And a program called 'bum' (boot up manager). Do a bit of googling... [23:45] The major problem is that Windows drops off support of older hardware where Linux seems to pick up on, but, having seen lots of complaints, Linux is not supporting older versions or hardware. There are a lot of computers than can be worthwhile using with Linux if drivers were supported, but it seems that it is just a monetary issue these days. [23:45] BluesKaj-Laptop: yeah, i can use wired too but wanted wireless so i didnt have a cable to jump over all the time [23:46] erUSUL, i got the sound working, somehow it got switched to Digital stereo HDMI :) [23:46] Curly_Q: If ubuntu isn't working for you, you can always try another distro, all distros aren't the same. I came here from Fedora Linux because they dropped a driver I needed but it works fine in Ubuntu [23:47] Losha: eth0: RTL8168d/8111d at 0xffffc90000674000, 40:61:86:7f:83:39, XI D 281000c0 IRQ 31 [23:47] BluesKaj-Laptop: Kano said my wifi adapter would work with the driver and i didnt need ndiswrapper but i have yet to make that work. [23:47] Losha: thats for eth0 and eth1, it has dual ethernet [23:47] how do I know which application is getting my CPU too busy ? [23:47] Nice work Ardchoille, you are a man after my own heart. I don't give up on any situation. There is always a workaround with most computers. [23:48] abe3k: open a terminal and run top [23:48] BluesKaj-Laptop: i might try it with his liveusb or the liveusb i have for 9.10 again. (dont want to mess the install up) [23:48] I have a LiveCD I want ti use and save persistently t a flash drive that has a 1GB file called "casper-rw" at the root of the drive formatted to ext2 boot up F6 esc add persistent hit enter boots up fine change desktop background reboot f6 esc persistent enter boots fine background isn't changed the flashdrive DOES appear on the desktop. A Lost+found folder gets saved to the casper-rw file. I am using 9.10 and have looked a [23:48] wirechief, it's not a problem in my den since it's been hard wired with cat5 thru a cable routing setup thru out the house [23:48] joineric: that's good. Does 'ifconfig -a' show eth0 and eth1 ? [23:48] ardchoille: I'm installing htop right now [23:48] Curly_Q: have a look at http://www.distrowatch.com [23:48] abe3k: that's even beter [23:48] Losha: yes [23:48] It should be distriwatch. It is distribution. [23:48] Ardchoile, good web site. [23:49] BluesKaj-Laptop: cool. well I plan on testing this again with 9.04 and also 10.04, it would be nice to have it working on all three releases. [23:49] One of the nice things about Linux is the: "Microkernels" [23:49] ardchoille: ok so I find out that the gnome-keyring-daemon is taking 89% of the CPU, is it safe to kill it ? [23:49] Does Ubuntu have support for Intel Graphic chips? I ask because I installed the drivers for my Intel 84845G chipset and I had lots of freezes. I reinstalled Ubuntu and I still have some freezes (using the generic drivers Ubuntu automatically installs). [23:49] abe3k: Not sure about that one [23:49] joineric: you should be ready to assign ip addresses. Did you say you were using dhcp for addressing? [23:50] wirechief, I had wicd wifi working with belkin just fine on 9.04. It crapped oput on karmic [23:50] Curly_Q: depends, not sure is solely monetary, older code for older hardware is meant so, you can provide only so much legacy when it comes to code, and that applies to any programming project, OS or otherwise, I think the dropping of 'support' on some older legacy material is fully understandable, not sure how a fuel-injection system will provide me a better 1960 chevy [23:50] Losha: yes [23:50] BluesKaj-Laptop: i see. was that 64bit on 9.04 then ? [23:50] Losha: i have assigned manual addresses for both and i still dont get a connection [23:50] ardchoille: I killed it! [23:51] wirechief, yes [23:51] Typos King good point and well taken. [23:51] j #ubuntu+1 [23:51] joineric: manual is better for testing. Did you kill dhcpclient, else I think it might try and overwrite the manual addresses [23:52] Does anyone know why I have some freezes (my screen freezes but my mouse moves. After clicking something the mouse also freezes). I'm using the Ubuntu default drivers for everything [23:52] I'm confused.  It looks like |which tclsh| returns a different file than is being run when I enter |tclsh|.  See http://pastebin.org/98161  What's going on here? [23:52] how use a PPPoE over wireless conection? [23:52] Losha: i havent, thats a good idea [23:52] BluesKaj-Laptop: geeze maybe i should of filed a bug for 9.10 on the 64bit. I dont have it currently installed though. [23:53] anyone? [23:53] Once my Ubuntu server is installed, it asked me to install a DNS server on install. Does Ubuntu DNS server work as any regular Daemon and feed the instructions to the main HTML or any other server? [23:54] wirechief, I upped to Lucid on the dsktop , so there isn't much point me worrying about wifi ..it just bugs me that it's not being used [23:55] Hi [23:55] any casper guru arround ? [23:55] Curly_Q: Well, it works like any other daemon if you configure it properly. O'reilly have an entire book on it. Not as bad as sendmail, but no picnic either. Unless you're in the dns service business, I'd do without it and use your ISPs dns servers [23:55] Hi, I have trouble with the application menu. The wine item doesn't appear. Is there any body knowing how it's working ?? [23:56] <_2> umm with the 9.10 version when i try to ssh i get a stupid pop-up window.... anyone know how to stop this insane action? [23:56] When minimizing Empathy, is there a way to minimize it to the Panel? [23:56] X? [23:56] joineric: so what's your eth0 ip address? [23:56] BluesKaj-Laptop: yeah, i agree, I wanted experience in doing it and thats about extent of my need, plus relate my findings to those trying to make their adapters work. [23:56] derekboy, doesnt it minimize into the panel when using [X] [23:56] @Pindaman: Not that I can see. It looks like it just closes [23:57] alienkid10: not sure I got what you meant on 9.1, something about a live-cd bootup working with a usb stick [23:57] Losha: still no good, i set it to 192.168.1.123 [23:57] Need some help, I run lucid, internet is setup and I want to set a DHCP and internet server with the other network card, I when booting a custom livecd I get invalid user blabla.. [23:57] Losha, the DNS server would only be use and configured as a Port Forwarding server on a Dynamic IP. [23:57] into casper [23:57] BluesKaj-Laptop: i need to get the driver working for that adapter, that would be better than ndiswrapper i would think. [23:57] initramfs [23:57] derekboy, its under the envelope [23:57] Typos_King: I am booting from a LiveCD and trying to have it persistent [23:57] joineric: and is there another host on that network you can try to ping? (and does it work?) [23:58] the casper-rw is a file on the root of a USB stick [23:58] alienkid10: have it persistent? what does that mean? pardon my ignorance [23:58] @Pindaman: Oh thanks, I'm a noob >.<. Pidgin had a seperate icon in the Panel. Thanks. [23:58] BluesKaj-Laptop: im not sure just doing modprobe -i driver-name is all i have to do. [23:58] derekboy, np :) [23:58] Typos_King: have it so it saves changes to the USB stick [23:58] Curly_Q: sorry, you've lost me.... [23:58] wirechief, itried several avenues to make the US adapter work, including /etc/network/interfaces with wlan0 and wpa_supplicant besides mn and wicd , and my experiments turned out totally fruitless. [23:58] USB [23:58] <_2> pop-up window says "enter password to unlock the private key" anyone know how to stop the pop-up from happening. the terminal should allow for ssh key password entry, why is it locked and a pop-up window opening ? [23:59] Does anyone know why sometimes everything but the mouse cursor freezes, but when clicking something even the mouse freezes? It happens about once a day. [23:59] BluesKaj-Laptop: did you try to use the driver for the rt2870 ? [23:59] E: /var/cache/apt/archives/nvidia-glx-195_195.36.03-0ubuntu1~karmic~nvidiavdpauppa2_amd64.deb: Unterprozess neues pre-installation-Skript gab den Fehlerwert 2 zurück ?? [23:59] BluesKaj-Laptop: did you try to use the driver for the rt2870 ? and not use ndiswrapper [23:59] _2: these days, if you don't have a GUI, you're not cool. Check the man page, there must be a switch or something... [23:59] derekboy, does that occur under heavy harddisk load?
