airtonixhow do i find out what dbus path ubuntu maps the laptop lid to (i assume it will be different for different makes and models of latops), currently on my machine the laptop lid button maps to the dbus path of : /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_logicaldev_input_400:01
Loren_SempleElrox: ?00:01
sensaehow do I temporarily kill X without it autorestarting?00:01
WubuntuI have a Nvidia GeForce4 MX 420 video card that gives me screen resolution problems with Ubuntu 9.10. Can anyone please off me any assistance with this problem?00:01
brjannsensae: you should be able to use     sudo gdm stop00:02
garholwubuntu: i'm on the 440mx. what problems you having?00:02
Wubuntueven with the proprietary driver,...i have to change screen resolution each time i reboot00:02
sensaebrjann: Nope00:02
ElroxLoren_Semple, yes?00:03
brjannsensae: oh, damn, my fault. i meant   sudo service gdm stop00:03
Loren_SempleElrox: I just got back, wondering if that problem got solved where Ubuntu fails to load (see the splash, but after splash computer stops loading screen goes blank and can't do ctrl alt f1) ??00:03
garholWubuntu: I had this problem before. I fixed it by running the proprietary app with gksudo and then saving the settings. it's a permissions thing if i remember00:03

ElroxLoren_Semple, all i have found is to try    sudo update-grub00:05
Wubuntuhow do i get this proprietary app?00:05

sciviwubuntu use synapic package manager to install nvidia-settings00:05
shannonbrimerthat was odd00:06
Wubuntui already have the nvidia-settings manager00:06
Wubuntuthis card doesn't seem to save the resolution to Xorg00:06
scivik run it in root mode00:06
garholWubuntu: once you are using the proprietoty driver then nvidia-settings should be available00:06
icerootWubuntu: that is not part of the card00:06
garholWubuntu: that's correct. that's where it was going wrong with me00:06
icerootWubuntu: also, on karmic there is not xorg.conf00:07
WubuntuX11?00:07
garholWubuntu: xorg got removed in 9.10 so there was a bit of a workaround to get nvidia-settings to create the corret file00:07
lantiziaHey how do I swap between NTSC/PAL for TV Out?  (no theres no proprietary drivers)00:08
garholWubuntu: like iceroot said :)00:08
DBeetswhat replaced xorg.conf?00:08
JrodDCxlantizia:  let me guess a ATI card ?00:08
lantiziaIt detects my TV and I see it in System | Preferences | Display00:08
lantiziaJrodDCx, no Intel00:08
lantiziaIt even sends output to my TV and the Fn+CRT/LCD button works00:09
lantiziaBut it's sending NTSC instead of PAL00:09
brjannWubuntu: I don't know if this is your problem, but another user was having similar issues the other day. someone in #gnome told him to   mv ~/.configure/monitors.xml ~/.configure/monitors.xml.bak    and restart gnome00:09
bitfoxhi00:10
garholWubuntu: create a blank xorg.conf then the settings can be written in there by the nvidia app.00:10
garholWubuntu: there isn't one as default but when there is one it gets read (if i am reading back correctly)00:10
lantiziaIs there meant to be a built in option for configuring TV Out?00:10

adamfhey, everyone. been a while since i last used ubuntu. i'm thinking about putting it on my old laptop (hp pavillion with an ati video card), dual booted with windows 7. is this pretty easy to do?00:25
arf`here the problem: with xubuntu hardy on a dell laptop with fglrx driver and 2.6.32 kernel, the monitor's power saving doesn't work anymore after a while00:25
cyberbluntzI dont think there is supposed to be a difference between running the gksudo at the terminal or running the xserver?00:25
brjannbitfox, Wubuntu: if you're launching a graphical program, you should really use gksu00:26
garholWubuntu: as bitfox says. i don't rightly remember how i got mine to stay there but I think I used gksudo the first time.00:26
GeekSquidcyberbluntz: there is ... read the psychocats link I gave you00:26

NitaiPalhisto, im kinda fed up with 64 bit, about havin to do extra and not having everything working right away... n my CPU fan is always whirring ... even tho my system is pretty new and decent ... Dell inspiron 530 ... so im trynna sorta "downgrade" to 32 bit so as to not have to worry about things not working and stuff01:30
histonewclimb: should be recognized by usbtouchscreen at the kernel level01:30
newclimbhisto: how can i do that?01:31
LavaEagleI feel dumb i thought that was an intel processor for some reason01:31
Dr_WillisIve  cant think of any issues ive had with 64bit on my 3 mahines ive been using it on for the last 2+ yers01:31
ActionParsnipNitaipal: check acpi settings etc. 100% works here for 64bit01:31
claptrapDr_Willis: Same.01:31
Dr_Willisive had MUCH more issues with 'brand new just came out' laptops .. :)01:31
claptrapOnly problem I ever had was 64-bit Flashplayer.01:31
garholtarehart: thinking, the synaptics touchpad stuff was listed in xorg.conf before but that is gone in 9.10 gimme a mo to look about01:32
ActionParsnipClaptrap: tried the 64bit native flash?01:32
histoNitaiPal: your not really downgrading01:32
Dr_Willislinux disrtos seem to take a few months to catch up to the new things in new laptops01:32
claptrapActionParsnip: Yeah, that's the one that gave me problems.01:32
tarehartgarhol: ok, thanks01:32
histonewclimb: let me do some more reading hold up01:32
garholtarehart: out of interest, what make of system is it?01:32
newclimbhisto: all right thanks01:32
tarehartasus01:33
ActionParsnipClaptrap: strange works great here. Different systems I guess01:33
claptrapActionParsnip: Well, it works as far as Flash games themselves are concerned. The issues were with a specific site (Kongregate.com)01:33
histonewclimb: its a built in touchscreen?01:33
claptrapActionParsnip: It uses a seperate domain server for Chat and website achivements, and for whatever reason, 64 bit flash didn't like to communicate with the java applets.01:34
ActionParsnipClaptrap: I play cyclomaniac on there. I use flashblock in chromium daily and block all flash except the game01:34
histonewclimb: I see there are fan issues with your laptop in ubuntu01:34
claptrapActionParsnip: Really now.01:34
ActionParsnipClaptrap: totally01:34
histonewclimb: but i'm not seeing anything regarding a touchscreen on that model01:34
ActionParsnipClaptrap: also 64bit java using the file at www.java.com01:35
NitaiPalhisto, what are the major differences between 64 bit and 32 bit anywyas01:35
claptrapActionParsnip: That's... interesting. :E I tried Firefox, Chrome, Opera and Seamonkey to no avail.01:35
ActionParsnipClaptrap: nspluginwrapper sucks for me01:35
ActionParsnipClaptrap: I use chromium from the daily build ppa01:35
histo!64bit | NitaiPal01:35
ubottuNitaiPal: AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See http://tinyurl.com/3jkole and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amd64 for more information.01:35
NewWorldNitaiPal:  Compatibility. Some things don't work on 64 bit that do on 32 bit. 32bit is more compatible and better supported.01:35
claptrapActionParsnip: D'you think I need 64 bit on both sides for it to work correctly, then?01:36
Dr_WillisI can only think of One app thats not on 64bit thats on 32. that i would use. :)01:36
syn-ackclaptrap: nope01:36
NitaiPalso why 64 bit NewWorld ? no reason to right?01:36
garholtarehart: sudo apt-get install gsynaptics  then turn down the minspead in there to slow. that should fix it01:36
claptrapActionParsnip: Also, are youh having issues with flickering?01:36
ActionParsnipClaptrap: nspluginwrapper should handle it01:36
Dr_Willis64bit is faster in a great many tasks. and improveing all the time01:37
garholtarehart: sorry, should be minspeed01:37
ActionParsnipClaptrap: not here01:37
NewWorldNitaiPal:  Some argue it's faster at certain tasks, like the professional kind - video editing, number crunching,etc.01:37
claptrapActionParsnip: You on Karmic?01:37
ActionParsnipClaptrap: lucid a3 but was identical in karmic01:37
Dr_WillisGiven the CPU load just to play back some videos with some codecs.. its getting more and more noticeable01:37
tarehartgarhol: that worked, thanks!01:37
NitaiPalNewWorld, nothing to do with better graphics and such right?01:37
syn-ackNewWorld: that's because under the right circumstances is is faster01:37
devdzhello im new with linux.. which commands to use to know which computers are interacting with any wireless01:37
GoSoxi'm using KDE, how can i find out how much RAM a system has installed?01:37
claptrapActionParsnip: Well, my bit of Googling has said it's been fixed in Lucid. I'm not comfortable enough to touch an alpha, though. :<01:38
LavaEagleActionParsnip:  I'm not even able to install it so it can wine about reps.  If I found the source and compiled it?01:38
ActionParsnipDevdz: your router will tell you01:38
garholtarehart: splendid :) have fun01:38
NewWorldNitaiPal:  I'm not sure about that sorry.01:38
syn-ackNitaiPal: the main reason you'd want to use 64 bit over 32 imo is because it natively handles more than 4 gigs of ram01:38
tarehartand wow, xorg.conf is really minimal these days01:38
Dr_Willistarehart:  some of my systems have no xorg.conf01:38
syn-acktarehart: Dbus FTW01:38
garholtarehart: yup, been a few people on tonight with nvidia issues andthe lack of xorg has thrown them a bit01:39
syn-ackyeah, my systems don't have configs either01:39
ActionParsniplavaeagle: you will need to force install it. If you have ia32-libs installed it will run01:39
Dr_WillisNitaiPal:  theres benchmarks on 64 vs 32 - dpending on what you do - you may want 64. I use 64 on all my machines01:39
administrator_help01:39
ActionParsnipLavaeagle: is there not a ppa with a 64bit build?01:39
NitaiPalDr_Willis, i just do simple browsing and watching movies and such ... which is better for me?01:40
syn-ackNitaiPal: in your case probably 32 bit01:40
NewWorldNitaiPal:  I'd say definetly 32bit, don't hassle yourself with 6401:40
Dr_WillisNitaiPal:  some video codecs these days can really suck down the cpu.01:40
NitaiPalDr_Willis, so 32 bit wud b better for my CPU?01:40
Dr_WillisNitaiPal:  if you got more then 4 gb ram - GO 64  - if You do video reencoding go 64..01:40
syn-ackexactly01:41
LavaEagleActionParsnip:  No this seems to be 32bit only01:41
Dr_WillisIf you got a low end cpu/system that can do 64 and watch HD movies.. well it may be a benifit also01:41
syn-ackoh yeah01:41
ActionParsnipNitaipal: you can use pae in 32bit if you have more than 4gb ram01:41
syn-ackActionParsnip: pae sucks, compared to native handling01:41
syn-ackseriously01:41
devdzokay what are the main commands to communicate with a router please i mean to know what the router is doing in a moment01:41
NitaiPalActionParsnip, whats pae?01:41
ActionParsnipLavaeagle: have you checked the ppa seach?01:41
ActionParsnipNitaipal: it breaks the ram up to allow the kernel to access more ram01:42
LavaEagleActionParsnip: how would I go about doing that?  Software/Synaptic ?01:42
syn-ackActionParsnip: Honestly dude, imo its merely an ugly hack01:42
LavaEaglemanager*01:42
ActionParsnip!pae | nitaipal01:42
ActionParsnipSyn-ack: it works though01:42
syn-ackActionParsnip: if you have the resources to do native 64 bit addressing it's better to just do that instead of using a hack01:43
syn-ackagain, imo01:43
claptrapThis is why I lurk in here.01:43
ActionParsnipSyn-ack: true but if 32bit is advantageous to the user otherwise then pae is fine01:43
ActionParsnipImho01:44

syn-ackNitaiPal: irrelevant02:02
ActionParsnipNitaipal: the number of bits is moot. You need to find guides relating to your system model to see if anyone has found a way to control the fan speed02:02
syn-ackActionParsnip: it most certainly does.02:02
ActionParsnipSyn-ack: how so?02:03
Dr_WillisIf the fan is not spported in teh bios/kernel - then the  64/32 dont matter at all.02:03
syn-ackit's more than likely as simple as redirecting something to /proc even02:03
syn-ackActionParsnip: I was referring to fan control02:03

magn3tsDr_Willis, gsynaptics has been around for years though. I remember it being around in 8.0402:39
magn3ts>_<02:39
syn-ackmagn3ts: there have been a lot of subsystem changes since then its really been hit and miss02:39
BayAreasyn-ack: ok. i'm not sure what those value are. this is going directly to my cable modem (via DHCP from comcast)02:39
Dr_Willismagn3ts:  yes.. and X has been dojng a lot of Input devices changes in the last year or so. that  required the gsynaptics tools and other similer tools to do things differntly02:40
syn-ackBayArea: did you cycle the modem?02:40
Dr_Willismagn3ts:  i recall some docs/articals on it at the gsynaptics homepage02:40
DJ_HaMsTaAny idea on how to change the port number in 9.10 ?02:40
cyberbluntzffs02:40
BayAreasyn-ack: works fine when I plug the cable into my mac (this computer)02:40
DJ_HaMsTafor remote desktop**02:40
syn-ackBayArea: it could be that the modem is still learned to the old MAC02:40
tzeentchhisto : Yes it is.  Could it be because I screwed up /etc/gdm/Init/Default ?02:40
magn3tsGah, someday when I'm not writing this J2EE crap I'm going to patch gnome-mouse-preferences so that it has the options that gsynpatics has02:40
syn-ackBayArea: thats why, plug it into the other computer and cycle the modem02:40
histotzeentch: the other directory to check is .gnome02:41
BayAreasyn-ack: ok, gunna log me off then. thanks for your help, mate! you too ActionParsnip02:41
histotzeentch: you can try using gnome-session-save to save settings02:41
Dr_Willismagn3ts:  i was thiniing at one time gsynaptics was going to be discontinued. i think some variants on it have died off.  But i dont use it any more sohavent paied attention to it02:41
histotzeentch: perhaps its a problem with that being called02:42
tzeentchhisto : I don't have a .gnome.  I got a .gnome2 and a .gnome2_private which are 700 and which I own.02:42
magn3tsDr_Willis, thats a shame. 9.10 has been very disappointing in a lot of ways. as I mentioned, X11 refuses to use my cursor theme, I can't even make it show up in gnome-appearance-preferences. I can't configure GDM, there are less screensavers that I still can not configure, etc. very frustrating.02:42
histotzeentch: try changing settings and running gnome-session-save in terminal then log out and back in see if that works02:42
syn-ackmagn3ts: all politics aside, I wasnt impressed with 9.10. 10.04 will be different story though02:43
histotzeentch: actually disregard that02:43
Dr_Willismagn3ts:  dont blame 9.10 for changes made by the X devs - and the gnome devs..  screensavers have been a point of argument for ages.  again thats GNOME devs stuff..02:43

magn3tsDr_Willis, well maybe simple wasn't the right word, but coherent at least. I think its pretty standard how things are done but its still very very configurable02:49

GeekSquidryanrhee90: I'd wait until the middle of April ... the next LTS is coming out ... everything would be updated, .. then you'd prolly have some fixing to do, but it would be a far cry from a in place reinstallation04:41
harisundI have installed karmic-server, and I have setup my eth0 to be static. Yet, in my /var/log/syslog I keep seeing messages CONSTANTLY of eth1 trying to acquire an IP through DHCP from my router (and acquiring too) .. Why does it happen?04:41
fivetwentysixbrjann: yup04:41
brjannfivetwentysix: alright, click apply.04:42
ryanrhee90GeekSquid: Alright, that sounds fine. However, when I upgrade this coming april, wouldn't I still need to ... 'wipe everything down'? (remove everything & start over)?04:42
fivetwentysixbrjann: still not working04:42
brjannfivetwentysix: bummer. alright, static ip then04:42

Iron_Manmy laptop battery is not charging for some reason04:43
brjannfivetwentysix: method: manual. click add, insert an address like 192.168.1.222, netmask 255.255.255.0, and gateway 192.168.1.1 (i'm assuming that's your router's IP)04:43
Iron_Mani found a package on that will help me make it work again04:44

jmqnoob question. How would I download a zip file from some url in the console?04:44
Iron_Manbut the file is on .ISO04:44
Iron_Manhow do i use an .ISO file04:44
brjannfivetwentysix: for DNS, if your router can act as a DNS server, put its ip; otherwise, you can use google's public DNS service: 8.8.8.804:44
arandjmq: wget is one option04:44
GeekSquidryanrhee90: if you upgrade from LTS 8.04 to LTS 10.04, just about every file on the server is going to be replaced, except for your data, essentially cleaning it too, I;d change some passwords, clean up some SQL tables and get the latest DNS data, but other than that, I think you'd be good to go04:44

brjannfivetwentysix: great! i have no idea what's wrong with DHCP unfortunately04:46
islingtonwhere does amarok save its podcasts?04:47
GeekSquidryanrhee90: that is what you have to make sure to backup .. some would be replaced, others appended, but you would still have a working environment from which to reconfigure everything04:47
brjannfivetwentysix: but if you're happy with static, i'm happy04:47
Iron_Manarand, i will try it now, hold on a sec04:47

Jon-Printer issue, please see http://paste.ubuntu.com/386073/  I've been helping a lot of people on here while waiting haha04:49
brjannfivetwentysix: it's possible someone in #gnome could help you troubleshoot networkmanager specifically, since it's a gnome project now, if you're interested04:49
Iron_Manit has a bunch of folders04:49
GeekSquidryanrhee90: define config files ... /etc/resolv.conf is a config file, but you'd never want to change it - if you did you would loose networking, same for /etc/network/interfaces ... get my point ...04:49
Iron_Maneither way it seems that would not fix my issue04:49

gilbertthebrainCould someone tell me if Ubuntu is DEB or rpm based?04:56
MrPocketsman04:56
MrPocketsmy nutty install went and changed a buncha stuff to crazy language in a crazy font04:56
GeekSquidryanrhee90: for httpd.conf blanking it would be fine, whereas deleting it would be a bad idea, as for php.ini it will be replaced by the next version of php4 or 5 ... apache is a server .. php is a set of libraries that allow for parsing of php data, I don't consider them applications, I consider the webapps that exist within the webroot the application and the infrastructure that allows that to be served is the LAMP stack ... follow?04:56
Jon-fivetwentysix: There is... no.. BIOS setup?04:57
brjannfivetwentysix: really? i've never seen a dell that didn't have a BIOS setup you could get to by wailing on F2 while the logo was onscreen04:57
airtonixgilbertthebrain, ubuntu is based on debian...04:57
rwwgilbertthebrain: deb04:57
brjannfivetwentysix: similarly i've always been able to get to a boot options prompt by hitting F1104:58
gilbertthebrainthanks04:58
ryanrhee90hrm. okay. well web apps are independent, i can just remove their directory. I'm talking more like ... apache itself, for example. i'd rather just delete any trace of apache2 on my machine and re-install it using apt-get, cuz i'm almost certain i've hacked it to the point of no return. same with ... mysql. or... shorewall, bind9, etc etc04:58

DarkSpiritthanks04:59
dsnyderssloopy, /etc/rc*04:59
brjannfivetwentysix: not familiar with it. i'd say you'd probably be better off finding a cheap keyboard to let you into the boot menu than trying to jack with your boot record so you can install linux :) however, you could also try wubi and install from windows05:00
sloopydsnyders, yes the 0-6 dir's are there but no rc.d05:00
ryanrhee90GeekSquid: hrm... for example, i'm guessing that "apt-get remove apache2" won't delete httpd.conf. if i do apt-get install apache2 after removing, i'm guessing that the configuration files will still be there. true?05:00
brjann!wubi | fivetwentysix05:00
ubottufivetwentysix: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please  file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug.05:00
pangolin_rollinanyone have an extensive knowledge of either GPS or fingerprint readers? i need help with both05:00
dsnyderssloopy, there is no rc.d05:00
pangolin_rollin!05:00
sloopydsnyders, so where to put stuff that usually goes in it?05:01
fivetwentysixbrjann: I don't want to install something where it doesn't give me full hardware support05:01
fivetwentysixbrjann: i rather just install it on a VM05:01
fivetwentysixbrjann: if that's the case05:01
Jon-ubottu: You guys still recommend Wubi? I remember like 3-4 months ago I was a Ubuntu green dude, installed with Wubi, worked great, week later, GRUB update, boot loader was SCREWED. What an oversight =/05:01
ubottuError: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)05:01

sloopydsnyders, yeah its been years since i have had to update my router... i dont play with the low level stuff anymore :'(05:02
GeekSquidryanrhee90: I don't believe in no return .. but anyway .. if you wanted to truly get rid of the lamp stack (for instance) sudo tasksel remove --purge lamp-server would really get rid of everything, then i'd be just a matter of reinstalling the lamp stack, ... your example is ok, however it doesn't get rid of the configs unless you do sudo apt-get remove --purge apache2 ... follow?05:02
duncanidaho1Why does DESKTOP DRAPES not startup when my computer restarts?  It is listed in my startup applications.  It is also set to do so in its preferences.05:02
ryanrhee90GeekSquid: Purge! okay. i'll do that. thanks! :)05:03
arandJon-: I have never used wubi nor do I think much of it, I would say if you have a choice, go with a dualboot instead.05:03
Jon-arand: After GRUB blew up on me I dual-booted. Seriously though, if Ubuntu is supposed to work for my Grandma and a simple recommended update blows up Wubi because of some mix up with GRUB... well, that just sucks.05:04
seanbrystonegood luck finding the perfect OS05:05
GeekSquidJon-: type /msg ubottu !gender ... you might get a kick out of that ... also http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi is ubottu's database for your enjoyment05:05
arandJon-: Bugs always suck, but there is little avoiding the neither, such is life.05:05
dsnyderssloopy, I think the stuff goes in the various rc*.d folders, and possibly the /etc/event.d folder.05:05
fivetwentysixbrjann: Can I install wubi and make it use a whole harddrive to itself to increase performance?05:05
linucksHi there, I am confused over this new grub.cnf, I need to add a kernel option however there seems to be no menu.lst file and the grub.cnf is only script. Can anyone help?05:05
Jon-arand: True, but when was the last time a Microsoft patches caused BSODs? Last patch date, yes, but that was from a rootkit not letting it modify a file, haha ^_^05:06
sloopydsnyders, only symlinks go into rc*.d05:06
arandlinucks: editing is done in /etc/default/grub05:06
brjannfivetwentysix: apparently yes, via LVPM. I've never used wubi or LVPM, though :) http://lubi.sourceforge.net/lvpm.html05:06
dsnyderssloopy, so where do the symlinks point?05:06
Jon-arand: My point is Ubuntu really needs more stability before it's ready for the average user IMO, I'm not bashing, just saying, it's a power-user OS05:06
Jon-Printer issue, please see http://paste.ubuntu.com/386073/  Please, someone at least tell me it's only a compatibility issue so I can frown and move on haha05:07
arandlinucks: use "sudo update-grub" to propagate the to the actual grub.cfg05:07
sloopydsnyders, to files in /etc/init.d05:07
linucksarand: ok, where in /etc/default/grub do I add a kernel option? I am new to grub205:07
fivetwentysixDoes wubi work on Win 7 64bit ?05:07
sloopydsnyders, which are where the actual startup control scripts reside05:07
Jon-fivetwentysix: It worked with RC1 for me, so I assume it will for you as well. I'd really recommend dual-boot though.05:08
jrtaylorivWhy would I use Ubuntu firefox addons rather than just installing them directly through firefox?05:08
dsnyderssloopy, so I guess that's where your /etc/rc.d files are too.05:08
linucksarand: would it happen to be GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""?05:08
Jon-jrtayloriv: I think they are the same thing.05:08
axisyshow do I setup a user with autologin ? put ubuntu on my gf's laptop .. she prefers not to enter passwd during login.. it is secure.. no open port except ssh w/ limit and there is no inbound route to my home05:08
arandlinucks: kernel option? like "acpi=off" or "vga=868"? In that case it is at the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT line (where there is already the quiet and splash options)05:09
jrtaylorivJon- Why does Ubuntu team maintain these packages then? Surely they wouldn't create a package for no reason ....05:09
Jon-axisys: System -> Administration -> Login screen [in there]05:09
fivetwentysixJon-: I'm having trouble booting from cd05:09
linucksarand: i8042.nomux=105:09
sloopydsnyders, nope, rc.d was for scripts for simple tasks that were started/stopped/etc by the scripts in /etc/init.d05:09
Jon-fivetwentysix: You the BIOS guy? Tap F2 when computer powers on set CD to boot before hard-drive in boot order05:09
Jon-Printer issue, please see http://paste.ubuntu.com/386073/  Please, someone at least tell me it's only a compatibility issue so I can frown and move on haha05:10

hamza  no system devices (partitions, usb, cd/dvd drive) are showing in my nautilus, but they show in disk utility.  now im just wondering if it's hopeless and i have to reinstall...05:11
arandfivetwentysix: Depending on system everything from Del, F1-F2, F10-F12 is possible ways to get into bios05:11
Jon-fivetwentysix: BIOS setup is usually F1, F2 or DEL. I usually tap all three in rapid succession until it pops up.05:11
fivetwentysixJon-: ill try when i gethome05:11
sloopyJon-, looks like you are probly sharing it as a raw device and ubuntu is sending PS pages to it...05:12
seanbrystoneisnt F10 the bios on  the newer HP's?05:12
sloopyJon-, on the win2k machine look at the raw file in the spool and see if it has a PS header or binary data...05:12

Jon-sloopy: I can access the drive remotely from here, what path is the spool in generally?05:13
arandjrtayloriv: Using the ubuntu firefox addons makes them use the package management system, and hence will be easier to manage (depending on your preference)05:13

GeekSquidAgentGreen: there are a number of considerations... it is probably your video card ... at boot loader screen . press ESC after post ... go to recovery mode and run the xfix then reboot and see if that helped05:34
sloopyJon-, replace 2k with ubuntu05:34
AgentGreenthank you very much geek squid05:34
JohnyHELLPPP!!!!05:34
AgentGreenthis is from cd boot ?05:35
Jon-sloopy: It's my moms computer05:35
sloopyJon-, mom can learn ubuntu...05:35
Johnyi uninstalled ubuntu but i cant seem to uninstall GRUB Loader05:35
GeekSquidAgentGreen: fresh start ... when you get to Loading Grub .. Press esc ... go to the recovery cosole and run the xfix05:35
Johnyi cant boot to my XP machine :(05:35
Jon-sloopy: I've had ubuntu for a month and the only reason I didn't say screw it and go back to windows is because I had the perseverance and was good with PCs. I've had issues... I'll consider it.05:35
AgentGreenall i have is cd05:36
AgentGreenk it switch into text mod05:36
AgentGreenim at boot :05:36
sensaeCan anyone explain this to me? My mdadm raid automatically builds on boot, on /dev/md_d0, and I have it in fstab. When my system boots it hangs complaining /home won't mount (the raid), but all I have to do is drop to recovery console, type 'mount -a' and hit ctrl D to continue booting, and it works05:36
sloopyJon-, just remember you didnt learn windows in a month, so dont expect to learn ubuntu in a month ;')05:36
GeekSquidAgentGreen: press esc to get to the grub screen ... go to recovery .. are we getting there05:36
dsnyderssloopy, scripts go into /etc/init.d according to this: http://embraceubuntu.com/2005/09/07/adding-a-startup-script-to-be-run-at-bootup/ and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=36871705:36
AgentGreentrying i think I did it too early05:36
Johnyany of you guys here know how to remove grub loader?05:37
AgentGreenjust went to a boot: promp05:37
ChogyDansensae: it might be an ordering thing.  It is trying to boot before the raid comes online05:37
JohnyGRUB05:37
ChogyDansensae: don't know anything about fixing that though...05:37
rwwJohny: what are you trying to replace it with? Windows' boot loader?05:37
sloopydsnyders, yes, startup scripts belong in init.d but this isnt the startup script...05:37
Johnyyeah i want to restore it to the original05:37
AgentGreenif I press esc from boot loader of cd05:37

AgentGreenI go to a BOOT: prompt05:37
NimbleRabitI'm trying to do a cp command, and I know for 100% sure the file exists, but it's telling me cannot stat FILE: No such file or directory.  Here's the command sudo cp "~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/CoreAVC Pro/CoreAVCDecoder.ax" /usr/share/dshowserver/  what am I doing wrong here?05:37
AgentGreenI did it post clicking live05:37
rwwJohny: Which version of Windows?05:37
Jon-sloopy: I just meant shit like having GRUB die on a boot... "Learning Windows" is very false, it's more like "learning how to not install junky programs and avoid malware" Windows is quite stable, hard to screwup, low crash rate, no compatibility issues, updates don't break things. Ubuntu, so far for me, not quite there yet. I don't know if I want to subject my mom to that05:37
Johnyi have windows XP05:38
AgentGreengot it posting all info05:38
AgentGreenfrom loading05:38
rwwJohny: http://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/292614-how-to-get-back-your-windows-xp-bootloader/05:38
AgentGreenso i guess it's gona load me into a prompt ?05:38
GeekSquidAgentGreen: not the CD ... try without CD ... boot normally .. when you get past the bios screen press ESC05:38
Johnyahhhh i already did that05:38
AgentGreennot installed there's only ubuntu 8.10 fastrack 4 and windows xp05:39

sloopyJon-, yeah my wife was a windows person, made her use linux, until she got her new laptop, tried vista, didnt care much for it, went to 7, and is serioulsy considering going back to linux...05:39
geniiJohny: For grub2 hold the shift key down and not the esc key05:39
Johnyit would just stay GRUB loading05:40
GeekSquidAgentGreen: what do you mean not installed ... what did it do?05:40
Jon-sloopy: Hmm, really? Personally I love 7, but I take computer science so some experiance in UNIX/Linux would be nice. That's why I forced myself to switch for a bit.05:40
GeekSquidgenii: that's new .. good to know05:40
Jon-sloopy: I didn't care for Vista at all, it was rushed and just wasn't very good05:40
AgentGreenI place cd in drive05:40

brjannhipitihop: that will show the current time in what the system thinks is your local timezone05:45
sloopydsnyders, yeah that would be an LSB approved method to doing it...05:45
hipitihopbrjann, says EST whereas I am GMT+10:0005:45
arandJohny: That shouldn't be the case... You only have one harddisk?05:46
Johnywell when i instlaled ubuntu i had 205:46

hipitihopbrjann, although date and time correct, hence I suspect I never set my timzone properly and just set date/time05:46
Johnyand i just removed the ubuntu hardrive cuz i thought it might help remove the GRUB loading thing05:47
Johnybut it didnt05:47
brjannhipitihop: this should help :) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTime05:47
Johnyi already uninstalled ubuntu but now i cant boot to xp cuz GRUB would get stuck loading05:47
Johnycant even get to the GRUB menu05:47
sloopydsnyders, but either way thanks for the help...05:49
dsnyderssloopy, glad to almost help :-)05:49

brjannhipitihop: that's weird. if you click on the clock in your panel, does it show your location correctly?05:51
GeekSquidAgentGreen: I would reccommend downloading either ubuntu 9.04 or 9.10 and install that over the install you have .. I believe you will have better luck05:51
dsnyderssloopy, ubuntu sets a lot of stuff on its ear, though.05:51
AgentGreeni have 9.10 on a cd05:51
AgentGreenbut wont install05:52
Johnyi dont know it just booted agian. i think it was the hardrive that i removed05:52
AgentGreenfails before install screen boot loader works fine05:52
GeekSquidAgentGreen: have you checkd the disk for integrity?05:52
AgentGreenwill do but i suspect it'll be fine05:52
Blue1rzx237: yes but you have to set that05:53
AgentGreenbacktrack 4 installed and ran live from cd wich is on ubuntu 8.10 i believe05:53
Jon-Printer issue : http://paste.ubuntu.com/386105/  [now with updated info if you took a look before]05:53
AgentGreenso i don't see why this installation of ubuntu 9.10 would be problematic05:53
dsnydersSo I gather nobody has gotten kpovmodeler to work?05:53
sloopydsnyders, just different methods of doing the same thing, try running a *BSD and compare, and you will see how ubuntu and fedora have similarities in different spots with them...05:53
hipitihopbrjann, I'm checking the machine remotely via ssh so not simple to bring that up05:54
soudesukaI installed ubuntu using wubi and then tried to move the install using LVPM, but for some reason, ubuntu does not show up in the grub menu.  I get an UnknownOS which points to my Windows Bootloader and then the actual Windows Bootloader.  The ubuntu install is still associated with the windows bootloader.  any suggestions?05:54

BankHeadJru.05:54
BankHeadHey.*05:54
dsnyderssloopy, true.  It's getting to know the variations and what goes where, especially between distro upgrades, that keeps you on your toes05:55
Jon-souldesuka You could always boot into a Win recovery CD and have it remake the bootloader, then see if you can get GRUB to load Ubuntu?05:55
Blue1soudesuka: becuase wubi runs as a task under windows05:55
soudesukaBlue1: LVPM is supposed to move Ubuntu to its own seperate partition05:55
clawsthis is my 6'th day on linux and.. boy... I LOVE THIS !05:55

sloopyclaws, congrats05:56
dsnyderssloopy, for example, they've changed the xwindows reset from CTRL-ALT-Backspace to ALT-Printscreen-K05:56

sloopydsnyders, yeah back in the mid 90's i used to have a shell running off the serial port on my 68k mac incase the console got too screwed, i could use a terminal to fix it... those were the days /nostalgia06:03
Jon-Blue1: I can use samba to access the drive shares and to see the printer, only when I go to print the printer "rejects" it [spins up like it is preparing to print, and then just stops]06:03

muaddibRewriteRule ^/something$ http://hostname:8080/something/$1 [P]06:43
dj_segfault1dandaman: There's a web page that describes how to generate a list of all installed programs and then another command to reinstall them on another machine from that list.  I don't remember where it is but maybe someone else does06:43
muaddibI am trying to set the above and it doesn't seem to be taking, but I am not sure what I am missing06:43
Jordan_U!clone | dandaman06:43
ubottudandaman: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude  --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate06:43

lindzeynQuick question.  When I boot up, my desktop environment won't load, that is, the desktop icons do not appear and I cannot right click on the Desktop to get the usual gnome display options06:45
becker_11Rebelstar: don't ask to ask just ask your question06:45
mattgyverlike for pidgin all your config settings etc is in /home/.purple06:45
Rebelstarbecker_11:sorry i have been asking ? :)..anyway here is it  ----------- i have ubutnu 9.10.. I just tried to install compizconfig and after checking desktop effects option,, system hangs..even after restart in recovery mode system hangs with startup screen..what can i do..pls help06:46
patrick_____dj_segfault1, I don't want it to shutdown at a fixed time every day, just in about 45 minutes from now. So I'm going to do sudo shutdown +45. I thought there might be a "nicer" way to do it though, that's why I asked here :)06:46
lindzeynEverything else is fine06:46
arandRPG-Master: Hmm, was so heavily corrupted and disorganised so not much to do really, I was able to run photorec, which extraced some files, but it was still a huge mess which I wasn't able to extract much from, luckily I had no really important data stored on there..06:46
Jordan_Udandaman, You can convert your Wubi install to a "real" install on its own partition ( I know that it's also possible to transfer a wubi install from one windows install to another but I can't give you a guide for that at the moment )06:46
Itadakimasuim confused... Ubuntu has System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager and then, Applicatioins -> Ubuntu Software Center whats the difference, just personal preference?06:47
becker_11Rebelstar: that ones above me I'm sorry I haven't used compiz ... can you get to a shell at all?06:47
RPG-Masterarand, I guess I'm just going to trudge through the mess then :/06:47
Jon-Last call before I go to bed [for real this time haha]: hplip + samba w/ HP F4180 driver + printer connected USB to windows 2000 + HP F4180 printer = only spins up and does not print. What is the issue?06:47
Jon-The driver is the f4100 series driver***06:47
dj_segfault1patrick_____: Ah sorry I misunderstood.  There's also the "at" command to run things in the future, but that probably would have the same effect.06:47
Rebelstarbacker_11: in recovery mode i can but i do not know the right commands to solve06:47
rwwItadakimasu: Pretty much. Software Center is newer and more focused towards new users.06:47
becker_11Itadakimasu: ma and pa will find software center easier snyaptic is more fiddly06:47
patrick_____dj_segfault1, probably, unless there were a way to call the "shutdown" gui button. Thanks by the way, I'd never heard of "at"06:48
Itadakimasualright thank you =o)06:48
cyberbluntzI'm trying to get my totem dvd player to work. It says it does not have the appropriate plugins. so i fallow instructions here http://projects.gnome.org/totem/#codecs. and when i get to the gst-plugins-base in the terminal it says package not found06:48
fudgey_muffinsanyone recognize this? http://dwarfurl.com/15bac06:48
fudgey_muffinsit started popping up all of a sudden06:48
dj_segfault1Itadakimasu: Software Center is dumbed down and only includes the common stuff.  So both do the same thing but Software Center gives you fewer choices.06:48
rwwcyberbluntz: assuming that you're trying to play DVDs on it (it's a general movie player...), https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs06:49
becker_11Rebelstar: well your on a computer now talking to me so search for the compiz config file in google and when you find it hopefully it will give you the path to the file then just cd to that folder and do nano <nameoffilehere>06:49
becker_11Rebelstar: and edit the file in nano06:49
arandRPG-Master: photorec may or may not recover/reorganise better, and you can also choose to recover by filetype, which might be useful for organization, it's part of the "testdisk" package if you're interested06:49
Rebelstarbacker_11:ok thanks i l try it out06:50

dj_segfault1patrick_____: "at" is designed to do things in the future, like "echo 'shutdown -h now' | at now + 45 minutes06:50
muaddib anyone familiar with mod_rewrite proxy06:50
becker_11Rebelstar: it's most likely in a folder like ~/.compiz in your home folder but that's just an assumtion you will need to check with a ls-a first06:51

azi_each time i try to open a media file, totem stops doing what it is currently doing and plays the new media. is there any way I could configure ubutnu to simply start another totem process?06:54
dj_segfault1azi_: Why not call mplayer directly?  Or gmplayer06:54

azi_dj_segfault1: i use totem as my default media player for whatever that may be06:54
mattgyverrastasean, you could just use VNC06:55
dj_segfault1azi_: Yes.  Well if totem isn't working the way you want it to, use something that will ;)06:55
rastaseanmatt, unless i am configuring something wrong, vnc has not worked06:55
mattgyverrastasean, whats happening?  (it can be a pain in the butt the first few times to setup)06:55
dj_segfault1lindzeyn: I would rename (NOT delete) the .gnome, .gnome2, etc directories in your home directory and restart.  A config must be broken.06:56
cyberbluntzI guess Ill have to try a diff player06:56
rastaseanmatt, well which app should i try out? i have tried terminal server client, remote desktop, remote desktop view, krfb, gnome-rpd06:56
lindzeyndj_segfault1: just rename them to something arbitrary06:56
lindzeyn?06:56
dj_segfault1azi_: That's why we have 20 programs that can do the same thing under Linux.  Everyone wants something different.06:57
mattgyverrastasean, the best client in my opinion is remmia but you need to make sure the machine you want to connect to is running a configured VNC server06:57
dj_segfault1lindzeyn: Yes, or move them to another directory temporarily.  Either way06:57
mattgyverrastasean, UltraVNC is a great one for windows, pretty easy to setup06:57
rastaseanmatt, i install ultravnc on windows to be able to control from linux?06:58
mattgyverrastasean, you install UltraVNC as a system service (best way), setup port forwards in your router, and then connect from tsclient or whatever VNC client you wish06:58
dj_segfault1lindzeyn: For instance, I wrote my own script that looks for all the files in the current directory, randomizes the order, then passes them to mplayer in full screen and OSD start/end times.  Because that's what I wanted and I could do it.06:58
=== becker_11_away is now known as becker_11
mattgyverrastasean, generally the port forwarding is the hardest part :X06:59
rastaseanmatt, lovely. :)06:59
becker_11rww: I've entered the pub key into the form on github but it's still processing after about 3 minutes surely it should have gone through or rejected by now?07:00
dj_segfault1rastasean: Sorry I missed the beginning of your thread, but based on what mattgyver just said, would ssh -X work for you (ssh with automatic port forwarding)07:00
rastaseandj_ could you tell me about ssh-x07:01

mawstmount-ntfs-3g or whatever eats up to 12% cpu07:05
mawstTHat can't be right can it?07:05
dj_segfault1rastasean: ssh to the machine you want to run a program on with the -X parameter, and it automatically forwards the X ports for you.  Your X client has to have authentication turned of with "xhost +" so the apps can connect, but then it just plain works.  From that ssh shell, you can run Firefox or whatever on the machine you sshed to and it shows up on your computer.07:05
=== _jastor_ is now known as jastor
rastaseandj_excellent! but ssh isn't even enabled on the windows07:06
dj_segfault1rastasean: Make sure sshd is set up for it: If the ForwardX11 variable is set to “yes” (or see the description of the -X, -x, and -Y options above) and the user is using X11 (the DISPLAY environment variable07:06
dj_segfault1     is set), the connection to the X11 display is automatically forwarded to the remote side in such a way that any X11 programs started from the shell (or command) will07:06
dj_segfault1     go through the encrypted channel, and the connection to the real X server will be made from the local machine.  The user should not manually set DISPLAY.  Forwarding07:06

rastaseanrdp/vnc07:13
dj_segfault1sensae: Yes, that's what I use for my classic 120GB.  real syncing, cover art, podcasts, and if you update track information it actually updates the ID3v2 tags in the mp3 files.07:13

dj_segfault1paddymelon: Don't know offhand.  But just the JRE isn't very big (that's the runtime engine without the compiler, etc.)07:29
federmananyone know why the install disk for 9.10 would cause a gpu crash or how to get around it?07:29
PizikBoots32M: I don't know why you would need Dolphin to mount a USB disk07:29
Boots32M<<<<noob07:29
indusfederman, which gpu are you using07:30
Boots32MI don't know either:)07:30
dj_segfault1vizru: did someone help you yet?07:30
indussensae, rhythmbox also does, and so does banshee yes07:30
Boots32Mthats what it said in forums, I just want my usb to mount07:30
PizikBoots32M: I am also pretty much a noob, but stick your USB drive in, open a terminal and type lsusb and see if you see it listed07:30
federmanwell i assume that's what it is. i get a horizontal bar that looks liek noise after selecting any option from the install cd07:30
vizrudj_segfault1: no, I'm wondering if I can put my windows partition in an extended partition without breaking it07:30
federmanand ive tried several cds, so it isnt the particular disk07:30
indusBoots32M, a usb hard disk? unplug it, then plug it in again and in a terminal type dmesg | tail07:31
dj_segfault1Boots32M: Unplug it, and in a terminal type "tail -f /var/log/messages".  Then plug it in and pastebin what's in that terminal.07:31
vizrudj_segfault1: will it still boot, normally?07:31
Boots32MPizik, Did that and it didn't register as there. then I turned udev on and off and that didnt' work07:31
PizikBoots32M: then do as indus said ;o)07:31
bullgardI am using Grub version 1.97~beta4-1ubuntu4.1. My kernel command line includes the boot parameters ro, quiet and splash. How to configure my Ubuntu 9.10 computer so that it will start without boot parameters quiet and splash?07:31
dj_segfault1vizru: I'm pretty sure anything but boot can be in an extended partition these days.  That not used to ne the case, so if this is an older machine or distro, be careful.07:32
indusbullgard, well, remove it from the /etc/default/grub file07:32
Boots32Mindus, dj_Seg will do.... brb07:32

ripperdaI have a shell script that keeps stopping if I background it. is there any way to identify why a script is stopped? (it did not exit, it's just in the "stopped" state in ps)07:33
Pizikdj_segfault1:  asking me or telling me? ;o)07:33
dj_segfault1vizru: Boot, not root.  Not necessarily the same thing.  but probably the same thing in your case.07:34
vizrudj_segfault1: if it doesn't have the boot flag, can it still be boot?  Sorry for so many questions07:34
pangolin_rollinquit nooo help07:34
dj_segfault1Pizik: The description in Synaptic says "pidgin-libnotify is a Pidgin plugin which displays notification bubbles in Pidgin using libnotify and notification-daemon." which sounds like what you want07:35
cyberbluntzok I got the command to work and I'm still seeing this same error No URI handler implemented for "dvd".07:35
dj_segfault1vizru: I don't remember if that's still used or not.07:35
induscyberbluntz, use vlc to play it or mplayer07:35
vizrudj_segfault1: Thank you for the help07:35
Pizikdj_segfault1: Maybe I did not explain myself well. In 8.10 I had a menu on the lower bar that had options for setting my status for Pidgin, that is what I want.07:35
cyberbluntzIve tried real player already07:36
bullgardindus: Do you mean to remove the two boot parameters only or do you mean to remove the whole line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"?07:37
mattgyverPizik, i thought that was at the top now, where your user name is shown in 9.1007:37
dj_segfault1Pizik: Ah.  You want the "indicator-applet-session" applet on the control panel.  Right click on panel, chose add to panel, and chose that one (not indicator-applet)07:37
dj_segfault1vizru: NP.  Gotta check off soon though.  2:40am here.07:38

solid_liquidtitan_ark, yeah, use the 'date' command08:33

solid_liquidtitan_ark, look at the manpage for it to see how to format the output from it the way you want08:33
titan_arksolid_liquid, just "date >> <path>"08:33
titan_arksolid_liquid, ah okay08:33
solid_liquidtitan_ark, yeah, but you might want to format it08:33

solid_liquidtitan_ark, I've written an article on scp and one on ls here:  http://solid.linux-coders.org/08:44
solid_liquidtitan_ark, you really should read the one on 'ls' at least; it shows how much more sophisticated ls is than dir08:44
solid_liquidtitan_ark, and provides some very useful insight I think into using the shell period08:45

ddavidspls i need help http://paste.ubuntu.com/386172/08:47
solid_liquidtitan_ark, you'll find it's fairly easy to pick up.  Linux is based on Unix, and Unix was written by the same guys who wrote C, so it's actually very similar08:48
Gheddy_Zarchey is it possible if Im loading a package by hand like 40 or 50 files in bits, that I may have to reload one file more than once ? Im trying to load a heap of .debs according to dependencies and synaptic wont find the CD drive as a repo eh08:48

solid_liquidtitan_ark, oh, you may also want to look through the scripts section.  Several scripts I wrote plus a couple dozen contributed by others are up there.  The bash scripts can teach you some nice tricks for using the shell08:52
titan_arksolid_liquid, surely will have bookmarked and will go through it in time. too much to digest for a n00b at a time08:53
solid_liquidheh :)08:53
solid_liquidtitan_ark, unfortunately I haven't taken the time to write all the articles I wanted to write, just a couple, but hopefully there's enough useful info there to help you out08:54
titan_arksolid_liquid, :)08:54

TecR0cthanks ard09:04
ardchoilleyw09:04
solid_liquidardchoille, not necessarily09:04
solid_liquidTecR0c, /etc/passwd is where the default shell is set, so it's where you should check09:04
solid_liquidTecR0c, and if you want to change it, you change that file09:04
TecR0cok thanks09:05
ardchoilleTechnoviking:  the SHELL variable holds your current shell, so echo $SHELL will suffice09:05
solid_liquidTecR0c, np09:05

yeiksI came across bitrock installbuilder i'v neva used it before bt wld like to kno au good it is09:05

ardchoillesolid_liq:  cat /etc/passwd | grep yourusername returns nothing here09:05
TecR0card you have to be root09:06
sash_useless use of cat09:06
ardchoilleTecR0c: shouldn't ne4ed root for that09:06
sash_grep yourname /etc/passwd09:06
solid_liquidTecR0c, oh yeah, because it takes root privs to work with that file.  I forgot about that heh09:06
solid_liquidsash_, yeah, I said that ;)09:06
rww/etc/passwd doesn't require root privileges to read.09:07
ardchoillerww: correct09:07
sash_nope, its readable for everyone09:07
sash_exactly09:07
solid_liquidardchoille, it's perms aren't necessarily the default perms of Ubuntu...  it sounds like he's not working with ubuntu09:07
ardchoilleTecR0c: which versionof ubuntu are you using?09:07
solid_liquidif csh is the default shell, it sounds more like he's on Unix09:07
TecR0card actually im using freebsd09:08
TecR0cbut i knew the concept would be the same09:08
TecR0c=]09:08

demonsporkhnsr, I know, I tried to watch that big fight up in canada, but for some reason a hockey game happened instead09:10
hnsri have ubuntu on my laptop, and I use ssh key auth for everything, but suddenly my private keyfile on my laptop had all permission bits set (777,rwxrwxrwx)09:10
hnsrdemonspork, :p09:10
hexdumpI'm using Xubuntu is there a way to access it through the shell?09:10
hnsrssh complained loudly, thankfully09:10
hnsrbut I wonder how the heck it even got that way09:10
ardchoillehexdump: you need to ask in #xubuntu09:10
yeiksI came across bitrock installbuilder i'v neva used it b4 bt wld like to kno au good it is09:11
solid_liquidhnsr, that's very hard to diagnose unless you can go through everything you did between when you know it wasn't that way and when it was09:11
Myrttihexdump: it's different in xubuntu09:11
solid_liquidhnsr, which...  is still a lot of work09:11
hexdumpah okie thanks though now I know for ubuntu.  thanks for the help09:11
Myrttihexdump: applications - settings - sessions and startup09:11
sash_hnsr: grep chmod ~/.bash_history09:11
hnsrsolid_liquid, hmm, yeah I suppose you're right, it mustve happened in the last hour though since I sshed to my server not too long ago without problems09:12
hnsrI do remember one thing, I did 'sudo apt-get install traceroute', and then I got some kind of popup about an authentication issue with updating the apt package lists, or something along those lines09:12
yeiksnobody seems to want to answer my question09:12
solid_liquidhnsr, hmm09:13
hnsrI then clicked uhm.. something, i think it had a button saying 'check' and it asked my user password (i.e. like when you need to reaise priveleges for updating software), and then I just let it do its thing09:13
hnsrthough I'm not sure what it was actually doing, as I was in a hurry to get on with debugging my network :/09:14
solid_liquidyeiks, this isn't a "texting channel"...  you might try typing like a normal human being ;)09:14
ardchoillesash_: actually I think "history | grep foo" would be better in case something has yet to be written to ~/.bash_history09:15
hexdumpthanks now I have to fix the ps3 media server java not found again pfff figures.  figure one thing out another thing fails.09:15
sash_ardchoille: yep09:15
solid_liquidhexdump, heh09:15
hnsranyay, paranoid mode is now set to 'off' and I'll just assume this was something innocent, just wanted to bring it up here incase someone else got something like this :p09:16
solid_liquidhnsr, I think it was unique to you.  I use ssh all the time, and haven't seen that problem09:18
hnsrsolid_liquid, yeah, it's just weird since it mustve been some other tool/app/thing that changed the permissions on my key, and I guess it would be interesting to find out what and why, sadly my bash_history file doesn't reveal anything :/09:19
solid_liquidhnsr, yep.  That's about the only thing I'd really like to see changed about how shells in Linux work, but it's so difficult to come up with an elegant way to have separate history files for different terminals without having a massive blowup in the number of files saved for that purpose09:21

solid_liquidGuest94909, that's just because Linux is unfamiliar to you right now.  You still need to learn the names of the programs we use in Linux, and learn your way around.  It's kinda like moving into a new house.  You'll bump into a few walls in the dark at night, but you'll adjust soon enough09:36

Nuf881I have this strange problem where my wireless won't connect to any open networks, only encrypted ones. Any hints?09:55
solid_liquidArma_, that's actually easiest to do on Fedora...  you might want to try that first to see how it works in Fedora (or CentOS) to get your starting point09:55
ddavidsardchoille: ok - http://paste.ubuntu.com/386203/09:55
arandZus: Not completely sure, but I think everyone has a personal key, and if say, a team creates a ppa which has another associated key, the LP system will automatically accept all team-members' keys and re-sign with the ppa-key when any one of the mebers upload to the PPA (not sure, but I think that's how it works..)09:56
adri_Hi, I just installed Ubuntu 9.19 on a laptop (Asus M70sa) and the screen is extremely dim. Power management options have no effect. I tried to manually edit /sys/class/acpi_video0/brightness but it did not work.09:57
ardchoilleddavids: Is this from a new install or an upgrade from a previous release?09:57
Arma_solid_liquid: would Fedora work on a P2 with 128MB Ram ? I was thinking about Xubuntu09:57
solid_liquidArma_, uh...  an older version would for sure.  I'm not sure about the current ones09:58
ddavidsardchoille: it's a new install but i gave it out to a friend and i guess he must have tampered wt it...09:58
Arma_solid_liquid: that's the challenge, if this works they might install Linux on alot of workstations instead of their Windows or OpenSolaris (which doesn't work on the domain for now)09:58
Zusarand,  thanks...09:58
ardchoilleddavids: Can  you run this command for me please: lsb_release -r09:58
hatten_test, anybody sees this?09:59
ardchoilleyes09:59
crawleradri_: try this command: echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/asus-laptop/ls_switch09:59
Callum__hatten_: coming through fine =)09:59
solid_liquidArma_, it'll work.  I was just talking to a friend of mine who works for Wolfram (makers of Mathematica) yesterday, and he told me they're all Linux there and use Fedora because it's the easiest to get working on the domain09:59

PingFloydsolid_liquid: it uses lxde for the desktop environment10:01
psycho_oreosI don't think lubuntu is out yet, although its available as a virtual package in the repo but it won't be out till lucid is officially out I think10:01
hatten_faileas: wires10:01
hexdumpjust had to get that out sorry10:01
ardchoilleddavids: ok, what is happening is that you are getting a GPG error on a repo that was installed when you installed the system. Someone somehow mucked something up. I'd get hold of that friend and ask him what he did.10:01
djoefHi, a few days ago, I upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10. Suddenly I get this warning at startup, saying my hard disk has a big amount of bad sectors. By reading some forums the best thing to do seemed to download the diagnostics software from the hardware supplier (samsung in my case) which just completed a full test with no errors.10:01
crawleradri_: not that i know of.  you'll have to run that every boot, i believe.  should be easy enough though10:02
solid_liquidhatten_, just connect to the network with internet access10:02
djoefWhat should I believe, and If its samsungs tool, how to remove the error in ubuntu ?10:02
solid_liquidPingFloyd, hmm, I didn't know that flavor existed10:02
faileashatten : ifconfig  and pastebin what's there. If you need a browser... w3m is the 'easy' one. lynx is more popular tho10:02
adri_crawler, ok I'll just put something in init.d.10:02
PingFloydsolid_liquid: I think it is still just a virtual package right now10:02
ardchoilleddavids: would you like me to walk you through returning your sources.list to the original?10:02
Arma_djoef: it might be either logical or physical you should know which first10:02
faileasdjoef: tried running fsck?10:02
crawleradri_: ok, good luck xD10:02
ddavidsardchoille: yes pls...10:02
PingFloydsolid_liquid: the plan is to make it a distro though10:02
rwwa preliminary version of lubuntu is in Ubuntu 9.10's metaverse repository10:02
solid_liquidfaileas, I think links is much better than lynx.  lynx is ancient and crusty10:02
faileaslol10:03
solid_liquidPingFloyd, I've never even tried lxde10:03
djoeffaileas, I didn't because I did the samsungs diagnostic test. I don't want to remap things and mess my drive up, if its not necessary ;)10:03
faileassolid_liquid: i prefer w3m10:03

=== Termana_n810 is now known as Guest38942
PingFloydI used to run lxde on debian on my old PII, it ran pretty nicely10:03
djoefArma_, how should I check for this ?10:03
Arma_PingFloyd: or I can just install Xubuntu and then install LXDE nothing will change, that's not the problem I have, the main problem is making a Linux OS work on a P2 and hook it up to a windows domain controller10:03
hatten_solid_liquid: faileas w8 a second, booting10:03
faileasdjoef: if its a FS issue... you'd prolly not have it caufht by said tool10:03
PingFloydArma_: yeah, that is probably your best route10:04
Arma_djoef: <faileas> djoef: tried running fsck?10:04
djoeffaileas, FS ?10:04
Arma_PingFloyd: but hooking it up to a windows domain should be a challenge10:04
minus007How to install Firefox 3.6 on Ubuntu 9.04?10:04
faileashatten: i'm an idiot for telling you to pastebin fsck. but ifconfig should show a ip addie that's valid, hopefully. else we'd have to go to strp 210:04
psycho_oreosdjoef, filesystem10:04
Arma_and I would prefer Ubuntu over Fedora10:04
djoefpsycho_oreos, thank you :)10:04
faileaswhat psycho_oreos said10:04

Arma_but if there is no way to do but on Fedora then Fedora it is I guess10:04

p1oooop1hey guys10:05
adri_Is there a way to track changes to the Ubuntu system and store them somewhere? I'm about to add a script to init.d. If I ever re-install Ubuntu I will have to search for the fix again and install the script again. Is there a tool that automates this?10:05

Arma_solid_liquid: work is no problem I have 4 months to finish this project10:05
ddavidsardchoille: done10:05
solid_liquidArma_, Fedora was made to do that easily.  You'll probably just need to write a script or something for Ubuntu, but Ubuntu is obviously a much nicer choice for a desktop distro10:05
faileasadri_: not as far as i know. that's one reason i document my changes in a wiki ;p10:06
djoeffaileas, Arma_ , So even with the samsung diagnostic tool saying there is no error, you would recommend me to check with fsck right ?10:06
hatten_faileas: yeah, ifconfig says no ip, only inet addr and mask, and some other stuff10:06

mjrosenbrww: sweet.10:10
faileashatten_: look for lines starting with *-network10:10
Arma_and it would also be more professional if I make a workstation that can download updates and stuff and give them to the clients instead of each one downloading it alone and installing apart which will save bandwidth10:10

hatten_faileas: eth5 O_o10:11
faileashatten_: ah hah! STAGE 3!10:11
rwwmjrosenb: from the look of it, free modules are in the regular linux-image packages, non-free ones are in linux-restricted-modules-versionnumber-architecture10:11
hatten_faileas: that's its logical nome10:11
hatten_faileas: name10:11
rwwmjrosenb: so if you're using the generic kernel, you'd want the linux-image-generic and linux-restricted-modules-generic metapackages installed, which will pull in the right version packages.10:12
faileashatten_: sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces10:12

hatten_faileas: i know, im only noob to ubuntu, one year user of arch10:13
faileaschange any instance of "eth0" under primary network interface to eth510:13

viliny_Anyone know whats up with playdeb being down?10:14
Kamokowardchoille: As far as I know, most people who have those have made their own PHP scripts that generate the images. (I might be wrong though)10:14
solid_liquidArma_, what you're talking about sounds like a suse server10:14
faileasadd two lines "auto eth5" and "iface eth5 inet dhcp"10:14
joaopintoviliny, the main server failed, we are working on it10:14
Arma_solid_liquid: suse ?10:14
faileashatten_: that should fix it. all you need to do is restart your networky stuff, and you'll be goof10:15
p1oooop1Kamokow: you are right, using GD10:15
ardchoilleKamokow: That's what I was thinking too but thought I'd ask10:15
p1oooop1Kamokow: google it ;)10:15
solid_liquidArma_, Novell made sure suse servers integrate seamlessly with windows networks, which is why m$ sells support contracts for suse linux10:15
p1oooop1ardchoille: google GD, it can use PHP but PHP is not necessarry for it to work10:15
hatten_faileas: yay, one ifup later and I'm connected. Thanks a lot!10:16
Arma_solid_liquid: so I have to install suse ? :(10:16
solid_liquidArma_, heh not necessarily10:16
faileashatten_: np. i had a similar issue with a VM a few days back ;p10:16
solid_liquidArma_, it's just the easiest solution10:16
Arma_solid_liquid: or maybe opensuse :/ I would like it to be open source10:16
ardchoilleKamokow: fouhnd it! http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/countdown10:16
solid_liquidArma_, suse is opensource, just charged for10:16
p1oooop1ardchoille: the problem is that you don't just tell it "make image real nice" you need to tell it to do every step of making such image10:16

p1oooop1what was that?10:17
ikoniazagabar: please control your language10:17
Arma_I don't care for the easiet solution, I want it to work in 3 months, I think that's more then enough to pull it through wouldn't it ? and I know that suse and opensuse are the same that's why I said opensuse10:17
faileasikonia: i think you mean zupper? who just did a driveby ;p10:17
ikoniaughhh, tab lag10:18
ikoniazagabar: sorry , misstab/lag10:18
solid_liquidArma_, my point was this: start with the easiest to see how they made it work so well, and then figure out how to make whatever distro you want do it equally well10:18
rwwmjrosenb: hmm, that's odd. They must have changed it in Karmic and I never noticed :\10:18
Arma_solid_liquid: has it been done before ?10:18

ikoniaArma_: Microsfot windows is acceptable for some people so please stop ranting about it, this is a support channel, do you need support with Ubuntu ?10:20

hatten_hey, when I execute 'crontab -e' it says '/var/spool/cron' is not a directory, bailing out. But as root I can see that the directory is there.10:25
rwwmjrosenb: I've noticed that trend with a couple of other packages too. There's probably a good reason for it, but I have no idea what it is.10:26

zetherooI tried to get the system to connect to the Internet through Network Proxy and it was not working so I reverted back to the default settings and now I cannot install or upgrade anything10:43
zetheroofor some reason the proxy settings are stuck in the system somewhere10:44
llutzzetheroo: grep -i proxy /etc/apt10:44

AndyGraybealaah so the owner, tell me10:44

AndyGraybealbecause that's all i thought i needed was the group to be correct -- it's actually a shared Documents folder between two users.10:46
p1oooopAndyGraybeal: I would assume... I don't mess with permissions much...10:46
AndyGraybealk thank you10:46
zetheroollutz: ok I did that and then sudo apt-get update and it's still not working ... Could not resolve proxy10:46

qebabNot to be annoying or anything, but I work in tech support and that kind of feedback is difficult for us to handle - it's not very clear what you're trying to do, why you're trying to do it, and how you're observing the error. :-)11:49

minus007I want to learn about the Ubuntu System structure.. For example, in Windows we have a setup file which installs software. However, in Ubuntu, this is different. A program can have several dependencies. And when I compile from souce, configure.sh halts at each dependency. Why doesn't the dependent library get installed automatically?11:56
mecoubuntu: Can you click the Firefox icon?11:56
Guest27404and then?11:56
myrttiminus007: how would it know what dependencies it's lacking, if you're compiling from source?11:56
myrttiGuest27404: search for it, install11:56
minus007It shows the dependent library11:56

archboxmanwhat its all linux there might be few different sets that all... Linux is linux.. Have to say ubuntu is leading the way, bit different... :)12:29
archboxmanIf you understand how to use cli then your 95% good to go in linux ...12:31
indusso do any one of you here use a firewall?12:31
icerootarchboxman: linux is a kernel and not bash12:31
iceroot!anyone | indus12:31
ubottuindus: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?12:31
indusiceroot, ?12:31
archboxmaniceroot: well thats odd I thought it was an OS???12:32
indusso question is, how is my system protected from the crazyh internet world12:32
becker_11iceroot: gave it a shot but too many things were dependent and not going to be installed it said so I had to go for the ubuntu-desktop12:32
icerootindus: with up to date packages12:33
icerootindus: ports are only opened if a program is started12:33
indusiceroot, that doesnt hide your ip12:33
becker_11archboxman: linux is the kernel developed by linux torvalds Gnu/Linux is the operating system12:33
indusare you telling me, a person cant enter my system if a program is not running? sorry i find it hard to believe12:33
ndlovuif I'm in /home/user, and I want to tar folder myfiles, how would I tell it to only preserve the myfiles directory in the tar archive?12:34
becker_11archboxman: gnu.org12:34
faileasindus: unless you're running servers, it isn't entirely necessary. ubuntu does come with ufw, though, should you need an easy way to set up a firewall12:34
archboxmanbecker_11: funny I thought the idea was freedom to use programs.....12:34
Kenjirogood morning12:34
icerootindus: if you think a firewall is for hiding an ip you are very very wrong12:34
DaemonFCindus, I always have a firewall in place simply because a port scanner would get a reply from the system otherwise, even if there are no open ports12:34
becker_11archboxman: in regards to what sorry12:34
icerootindus: maybe read something about networking12:34
archboxmanSeeing how that was the main compliant ... why isn't it free12:34
ndlovutar -c --strip-components 2 /home/user/myfiles ?12:34
DaemonFCI don't want them knowing my system is there, a firewall stops my machine from replying12:35
Kenjiroguys, I am fairly new to Ubuntu. I would like to know where I can check the './configure' options I need to compile openldap (an old version) so it will be in conformity with ubuntu standards12:35
becker_11indus: that would be a proxy more so than a firewall12:35
indusso a firewall doesnt hide an ip? what exactly does it do then12:35
motaka2where can i find repositories concerning php5.3 for ubuntu 8.312:35
icerootindus: controlling the traffic12:35
indusiceroot, iam pretty much wrong yes thats why i ask here12:35
icerootindus: man iptable12:35
DaemonFCthe fact that the system replies "port is closed" is already far too much, because now they know there is a system there12:35
becker_11indus: stops packets from entering your system while letting allowed packets in and out12:35
icerootindus: there you will find what a firewall is/can do12:36
DaemonFCfirewall is not going to hurt anything, I just turn it on and set it to deny unsolicited traffic12:36
induswell, most tutorials say no need of it in ubuntu but ..12:36
archboxmaniceroot: security is the idea of combining standards to make your computer safe from the router down to the computer...12:36
icerootindus: you dont need a firewall12:36
indussomeone here can send a port scan request12:36
becker_11DaemonFC: that's it start firewall create first rule block all inbound :-)12:37
icerootindus: ip?12:37
WubuntuIs there a suitable driver for my webcam (Microdia webcam:Vender ID 0c45:600d Microdia TwinkleCam USB camera)?12:37
DaemonFCindus, I respectfully disagree with those tutorials then12:37
indusand what if firefox is running, wouldnt the scanner know that port 80 is open12:37
icerootindus: firefox is not a webserver so why should port 80 be opened?12:37
l3nsi just downloaded tcptrack. but it only tracks traffic in this machine only. not on every machine that is connected to this network.. is there other tools available in ubuntu that does this?12:37
icerootindus: please read some network-basics12:37
becker_11indus: www.grc.com go check out sheilds up it's a port tester and very very good at explaining what you are looking for12:38
indusiceroot, i thojught a web browser listen s on port 8012:38
icerootindus: and why should firefox open port 80 on your client?12:38
becker_11indus: grc.com also has forums I learnt an incredible amount from that site and forum12:39
archboxmanindus: remember the more security you put up... the different the effect will be...12:39
rwwindus: Web *servers* listen on port 80. Web *browsers* don't.12:39
indusrww, hello , thanks12:39
DaemonFCindus, sudo ufw enable && sudo ufw default deny and never worry about it again, good for most desktop users12:39
icerootindus: again, you dont need a firewall on your system12:39
indusrww, so i ask again, when firefox is running, it doesnt open port 80?i saw that in preferences too12:39
icerootindus: nmap -p 80 localhost    while firefox is running12:40
DaemonFCiceroot, If it won't hurt anything but it will stop port scanners from knowing there is a machine at that address, where is the harm?12:40
becker_11indus: it uses port 80 to get http traffic but it doesn't open it or listen on it12:40
icerootDaemonFC: a virusscanner on linux can make your system also safer....12:40
rwwDaemonFC: deny is the ufw default now, so it's even easier than that :)12:40
=== ae86-drifter1 is now known as ae86-drifter
indusbecker_11, could you tell me a little what means to get http traffic12:41
becker_11indus: a browser also uses port 443 and possibly 2112:41
DaemonFCiceroot, I wouldn't go as far as a virus scanner until there actually are viruses out there, but iptables settings don't slow a PC down12:41
DaemonFCor get confused and delete pieces of the OS :)12:41
archboxmanindus: this is a subject that takes you to learn your system... There is no way for anyone in here to say a piece of hardware is not opening a port you need to look at your system...12:41
rww"sudo ufw enable" and you're done :)12:41
DaemonFCvirus scanners do that to Windows users in a comedy of errors :)12:41

ndlovuis there not some way to tell tar to ignore all directories above the current directory?12:42
indusit is?12:42
DaemonFCiceroot, There's some reason to turn it on, it provides some protection at no overhead and very low risk of interfering with anything legit12:43

abhi_nav_whats the exact purpose and target audience of xfce?12:44
DaemonFCabhi_nav_, Stripped down desktop for old PCs mainly I believe is the target audience12:44
archboxmanindus: I told you already hardware is different and everyones setup is different .... You need to look up basic setups... I could buy a Cisco router that has firewall, Webserver and a server built in one does this make it good perhaps ,but it is all how you use security...12:44
becker_11abhi_nav_: xfce is for systems that are slightly older than the latest and greatest and for users that don't want alot of overhead on their systems12:44
indusbecause, i remember using zonealarm in windows, so was wondering about ubuntu12:45
becker_11abhi_nav_: I like xfce because it is lighter than gnome and runs faster on my system12:45
abhi_nav_DaemonFC: & becker_11: ok should i install it on my ubuntu to get more speed and performance? I now have gnome12:45
indusand zonealarm keeps saying this attempt blvocked etc even though i dont run anhy web servers12:45
icerootindus: for what you need a firewall?12:45
DaemonFCindus, Totally different thing. ufw is just a way to set iptables, which is built into the kernel.12:45
KenjiroI would like to know where I can check the './configure' options I need to compile openldap-2.3.30 (an old version) so it will be in conformity with ubuntu standards12:46
icerootindus: sorry but you even dont know what firefox is doing when surfing12:46
becker_11abhi_nav_: sure12:46
DaemonFCZonealarm is an entire filtering engine full of bloat sitting in userspece and tapped into your TCP/IP stack12:46
abhi_nav_DaemonFC: & becker_11: ok thnx12:46
indusiceroot, thats what iam asking whether i need it or not, iam not running anything12:46
indusiceroot, i dont like your tone btw12:46
DaemonFCindus, Zonealarm is a resource sapper like most Windows security software, ufw jsut writes iptables settings and has almost no overhead12:47

icerootindus: maybe you want something like a router/nat12:47
indusiceroot, i have a router given by my isp, which has firewall enabled in it anyways12:48
viliny_indus, not beating around the bush - firestarter seems like the program you want12:48
archboxmanindus: just keep in mind this can be complex... you need to take inventory of all the hardware and its abilities, but you need to start at basics of security...12:48
indusiceroot, anyway thanks , ill read more about this somewhere else12:48
DaemonFCon Windows machines, I just leave the built in "firewall" going because third party software makes the s
