[00:00] trism: thanks a bunch! [00:01] sburwood: [00:01] how 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_4 [00:01] Elrox: ? [00:01] how do I temporarily kill X without it autorestarting? [00:01] I 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? [00:02] sensae: you should be able to use sudo gdm stop [00:02] wubuntu: i'm on the 440mx. what problems you having? [00:02] even with the proprietary driver,...i have to change screen resolution each time i reboot [00:02] brjann: Nope [00:03] Loren_Semple, yes? [00:03] sensae: oh, damn, my fault. i meant sudo service gdm stop [00:03] Elrox: 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] Wubuntu: 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 remember === madmax is now known as Guest22138 [00:05] Loren_Semple, all i have found is to try sudo update-grub [00:05] how do i get this proprietary app? === manuel_ is now known as manuel__ [00:05] wubuntu use synapic package manager to install nvidia-settings [00:06] that was odd [00:06] i already have the nvidia-settings manager [00:06] this card doesn't seem to save the resolution to Xorg [00:06] k run it in root mode [00:06] Wubuntu: once you are using the proprietoty driver then nvidia-settings should be available [00:06] Wubuntu: that is not part of the card [00:06] Wubuntu: that's correct. that's where it was going wrong with me [00:07] Wubuntu: also, on karmic there is not xorg.conf [00:07] X11? [00:07] Wubuntu: xorg got removed in 9.10 so there was a bit of a workaround to get nvidia-settings to create the corret file [00:08] Hey how do I swap between NTSC/PAL for TV Out? (no theres no proprietary drivers) [00:08] Wubuntu: like iceroot said :) [00:08] what replaced xorg.conf? [00:08] lantizia: let me guess a ATI card ? [00:08] It detects my TV and I see it in System | Preferences | Display [00:08] JrodDCx, no Intel [00:09] It even sends output to my TV and the Fn+CRT/LCD button works [00:09] But it's sending NTSC instead of PAL [00:09] Wubuntu: 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 gnome [00:10] hi [00:10] Wubuntu: create a blank xorg.conf then the settings can be written in there by the nvidia app. [00:10] Wubuntu: there isn't one as default but when there is one it gets read (if i am reading back correctly) [00:10] Is there meant to be a built in option for configuring TV Out? [00:11] Elrox: fixed [00:11] for some reason [00:11] hwllo.. [00:11] hi [00:11] Loren_Semple, ??? what did it? [00:11] !hi [00:11] 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! [00:11] Loren_Semple, please share? [00:11] I did the recovery mode (option 2 boot from grub) [00:12] then it came to a menu which offered to update grub, fix broken packages, free up disk space [00:12] can anyone help me install ubuntu? plz.. im a fast learner [00:12] its textmode [00:12] fixing broken packages and updating grub seemed to fix it [00:12] no fuXXng liveshit [00:12] hey you guys want to talk about conficker? [00:13] Enter text here...anyone here have issues accepting user license when installing world of warcraft? [00:13] hmm. if karmic has upstart, why dosen't it have an init dir, and scripts there? [00:13] @garhol: i had a similar problem last week... but xorg.conf file cannot be write by local user... You must be root in order to do that operation [00:14] @garhol: sudo nvidia-settings [00:14] @garhol: ok? [00:14] jcrump40, your going to have to check the technical support at www.worldofwarcraft.com [00:14] Karmic 9.10 doesn't use "xorg",...or doesn't have a xorg.config file after installation? [00:15] I have a little problem with notifications icon in karmic [00:15] Wubuntu: no but you can give it one [00:15] thanks for the information [00:15] how do i create a black xorg file? [00:16] *how do i create a BLANK xorg.conf? [00:16] @Wubuntu: save an old copy of xorg.conf file [00:16] Bitfox: yup Wubuntu: sudo touch /etc/X11/xorg.conf === AllHailTheGeek is now known as klsjdhg === klsjdhg is now known as AllHail [00:16] ikonia: You still around? I got my RAID rebuilt, did that pastebin of my mdadm.conf look fine? Do I just need to add 1 to the device lines? === matias is now known as Guest50882 [00:17] Wubuntu: sudo touch /etc/X11/xorg.conf [00:17] @Wubuntu: I created a backup copy of my xorg.conf file [00:17] Wubuntu: yes, a blank one, and then you can add stuff [00:18] test [00:18] !hi | zondo [00:18] zondo: 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! [00:18] brjann: ty [00:19] brjann: you love making the bot talk huh ? hahah its fun! [00:19] @Wubuntu: After, I launched my nvidia-settings through sudo, after I selected various options I saved and the nvidia tool create all stuff in xorg.conf [00:19] !host [00:19] @Wubuntu: ok? [00:20] JrodDCx: no sense in repeating myself, that's what it's for :) [00:20] is there a list of all the things ubottu knows? [00:20] Loren_Semple, i found that updating grub does fix the issue, but does not explain how it got foobar'd in the first place... that would be great info [00:20] Random832: yes, see http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi [00:20] Is it possible to see what's inside a .tar.gz file from the terminal window? [00:20] I thought the term was fubar [00:21] Flynsarmy: yes, try tar lf [00:21] effed up beyond all recognition [00:22] bitfox: sorry, missed that message. yeah, sudo nvidia-settings once the blank xorg is there and it should drop in the correct info [00:22] brjann, tar: Semantics of -l option will change in the future releases. Please use --one-file-system option instead. You must specify one of the `-Acdtrux' options [00:22] umm no [00:22] !gksudo [00:22] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [00:22] gksudo * [00:22] whats the first 5 steps to install ubuntu in textmode? [00:22] does it make a difference whether you open the nvidia settings manager through terminal(sud) or opening the program through system, etc? [00:22] why does notifications pop-up appear under the right corner under the watch with any blank space? [00:22] help me out here.. im a quick learner [00:22] Flynsarmy: oh my. one second :) [00:23] eXe__^: ? [00:23] n [00:23] eXe__^: look at the display? [00:23] eXe__^: Google will have lots of guides. [00:23] Flynsarmy: oops, sorry, typo. tar tf [00:24] chat [00:24] hi [00:24] brjann, perfect, thanks :) [00:24] hi [00:24] Flynsarmy: you're welcome :) [00:25] @Wubuntu: sudo allow you to launch nvidia panel with root privileges so the xorg.conf file can be easily modified [00:25] hey, 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] 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 while [00:25] I dont think there is supposed to be a difference between running the gksudo at the terminal or running the xserver? [00:26] bitfox, Wubuntu: if you're launching a graphical program, you should really use gksu [00:26] Wubuntu: 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] cyberbluntz: there is ... read the psychocats link I gave you [00:26] @Wubuntu: I tried to launch it as normal user from system panel-> admin... but nvidia-setting was not able to save configuration in xorg.conf [00:26] You can just use CFLAGS="-march=native" [00:27] oops wrong channel [00:27] sudo nvidia-settings-manager? [00:28] Wubuntu: Yes [00:29] @Wubuntu: I use: $sudo nvidia-settings [00:29] @Wubuntu: It works for me [00:29] Doing an fdisk /dev/sdb shows one partition, ext4. But /dev/sdb1 doesn't exist. [00:29] @Wubuntu: I'm able to select options and save them in xorg.conf file [00:30] cyberbluntz: wha? [00:30] does anyone know with the sort command what option would I use if I'm looking to sort processes by max to min usage? [00:30] sensae: I would trying useing Gparted so you can see ewveything better ! [00:30] Question...does Ubuntu have easy support for nouveau driver for video? [00:30] hello [00:30] possible to ssh over an http proxy using proxychains or would i need to use a socks proxy? [00:31] @Wubuntu: I'm sorry.. but i must be off now... bye bye [00:31] parolang: Not in 9.10 it's coming in the next edtion , i owuld use the real driver anyway :) [00:31] thankyou,...this time the save worked [00:31] bye [00:31] bye... [00:31] bye bitfox,...and thanks again [00:31] danny_ ..... sort processes..... you mean from a text dump? [00:31] JrodDCx: I'm having problems with the proprietary driver on Debian stable. [00:32] thanks to all of you for your help [00:32] danny_ if you're just looking for a quickie.... try maybe 'qps' is a visual process manager, and you can sort by clicking on the provided colunmn tab [00:32] Looks like the superblock for the partition is gone - how do I repair the superblock without losing the partition? [00:32] parolang: 9.10 is a bit diffrent then debian stable i think === tyler is now known as Guest14343 [00:32] they fixed and broke some things [00:32] Wubuntu: congrats :) [00:33] JrodDCx: Okay...I'm burning the CD now, so hoping for the best :) [00:33] hi, i have a question, I have a intel integrated video card and i'm trying to fix the driver, but there is no xorg.conf!! where is it? or how can i generate one? [00:34] Guest14343: xorg.conf is no longet there in 9.10. create a blank one with sudo touch /etc/X11/xorg.conf [00:34] How could I set up Ubuntu as a SIP server (for VOIP phones)? [00:34] parolang: Good luck , if worst comes to worst you can install newer drivers too :) (From nvidia) [00:34] hi folks I am trying to get MPD set up, and when I go to create the db I get this error: listen: Failed to listen on localhost (line 69): Address already in use. is this a conflict in /etc/hosts or something? [00:35] well I'm creating a shell script that needs to display the top processes by sorting them from max to min usage... [00:35] ciao [00:35] @Wubuntu: You're welcome! [00:35] 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 while, and I can't find any reason. After booting, it works for a time (if I stop using the computer for 10mn, themonitor goes to sleep), and at a moment it doesn't work anymore (even if I force the screensaver, no more sleeping). I can't find anything in any log relating to power saving, nor find what could make [00:35] bye bye [00:35] !list [00:35] 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 » [00:35] garhol: and can I add only a the lines with the stuff i want to get configured, or does it have a full configuration file? [00:36] arf`: Is it only the monitor switching off or suspend aswell? [00:36] Guest14343: try sudo Xorg -configure that should make an initial config for you I think. [00:36] i need help with my webcam and gspca [00:36] ok thanks [00:36] How could I set up Ubuntu as a SIP server (for VOIP phones)? [00:37] I'm curious to know if there is a good flash authoring tool for Ubuntu? [00:37] NewWorld: suspend (I didn't try to switch off as it is a laptop) [00:37] mylisto2: nope... Adobe has the monopoly [00:37] true [00:37] http://imagebin.org/86912 conky awesome :) [00:37] really? [00:38] arf`: Suspend aswell? YOu didn't answer the question properly :P [00:38] hi folks I am trying to get MPD set up, and when I go to create the db I get this error: listen: Failed to listen on localhost (line 69): Address already in use. is this a conflict in /etc/hosts or something? [00:38] everytime I use my webcam (skype, cheese), it wouldn't work properly and the message is "libv4lconvert: Error decompressing JPEG: unknown huffman code: 0000ffff" [00:38] what can I do? [00:38] I tried to relaunch the screensaver, as well as the xfce-power-manager [00:38] ps -eo user,pid,ppid,%mem,fname | sort ?? | head -5 [00:39] NewWorld: suspend aswell? [00:39] jeangleur: did it ever work? [00:39] arf`: Can you answer my question directly and in a valid format? lol [00:39] NewWorld: I understood "as well", don't know aswell :/ [00:39] arf`: We are syntactically inflexible xD [00:39] mylisto2: not on this ubuntu, but yes, I remember like four month ago, it worked [00:40] anyone know how to brows the files on a HTC Hero? here is my dmesg | tail http://pastebin.com/amk01TPT and i followed this page.. http://www.htc.com/us/support/hero-sprint/help/synchronization [00:40] NewWorld: seems to, but I'm syntactically a french… so [00:40] mylisto2: didn't use it for long, upgraded,... and now that I need it... [00:40] I remember I had to do some work around on 8.04 to get it to work [00:40] i cant seem to just plug in the hero and brows the files on the sd card...? [00:40] mylisto2: maybe I should go back to 8.04? [00:40] uname [00:40] is this possible? [00:41] maybe? [00:41] arf`: I had that with Ubuntu aswell in GNOME... sometimes the screen switched off sometimes it wouldn't at all... it was really annoying. I switched to KDE sometime later, it uses PowerDevil... and everything worked fine [00:41] Linux hp-desktop 2.6.31-19-generic #56-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jan 28 01:26:53 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux [00:42] mylisto2: I just caonnot compile the gspca with its ptch needed... always error "error: asm/semaphore.h: No such file or directory" [00:42] mylisto2: are you good in this stuff? I am not [00:42] arf`: if you would prefer, the #ubuntu-fr channel is the official ubuntu support channel in French :) (or #ubuntu-qc if you are Quebecois) [00:43] mylisto2: but I am sitting since eight hours (no kidding) to try to get it done [00:43] NewWorld: ok, so aswell is a manager? anyway, I've nothing related to aswell on my computer [00:43] hi yall [00:43] mylisto2: here is the kgspca.err file output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/385916/ [00:43] arthur_1: in order to do that you will need to install the Android Dev version for the hero... or install openssh on the hero and connect remotely ... android development environment for linux works as a VM but using the hero as a mass storage device is not possible [00:43] jengleur: I am not good at this stuff as well, sorry [00:44] arf`: No lol, that was my mistake. You're right it should be 'as well' instead. [00:44] brjann: yeah, I'm on too, but there a far less competence than here actually, especially at this time (night for us) [00:44] NewWorld: uh, ok, let's have fun ;) [00:44] arf`: no problem, just wanted to make sure you were aware :) [00:45] i am in trouble ppl. no video is workin for me! even vlc , image is only in One third of the screen and no color! help! i am lost! :) [00:45] the rest of the screen is black! [00:45] if I have a machine which allows ssh access, but my router also port forwards some voip related ports, namely 5060 and 10000-20000 then I want to secure this machine a litlle more.. is it possible to restrict ssh to my internal network ? or is that not enough from a security pov [00:45] dexley: Have you used Mplayer or xine engines? [00:45] yes NewWorld [00:45] :( [00:46] jengleur: just stay in this channel, I'm sure someone can help you [00:46] hipitihop: if your router doesn't forward your ssh port, ssh isn't accessible from outside your LAN [00:46] dexley: Try to play an ogg video file, they are natively supported. See if it works; that will give us some useful info to work on. [00:46] Jeangleur: that may not work in this kernel version when it says floating point fails ... it will not install because it was not meant for this kernel.. [00:46] dexley: it smells like dri problem, but unsure [00:46] is anyone familiar with java? I'm trying to run a very simple "hello world" and am getting a weird error [00:46] brjann, indeed.... any other precautions I should take since those ports are technically open ? [00:47] archboxman: so what can I do? [00:47] shadows090: ubuntu related? [00:47] NewWorld yes [00:47] okay NewWorld i try it in a sec! [00:47] Jeangleur: sorry I just woke up... so give the basics of your problem [00:47] shadows090: Put on pastebin, I know a little java lol [00:47] hello geniuses. i'm trying to get FTP working in ubuntu. the connection is active, the port is active, but anonymous cannot upload filezilla on windows reports its because permission denied. any assistance? [00:47] hey Typos_King the one line in my script looks like this....ps -eo user,pid,ppid,%mem,fname | sort ??? | head -5 [00:47] well, i'm in Ubuntu, i'm not sure if the particular error is ubuntu related. what do you mean put on pastebin? [00:48] archboxman: is there any way I can make my cam work? it should be working in karmic out of the box. it is logitec E2500 quickcam [00:48] but it somehow doesn't [00:48] shadows090: Post the relevant code and error onto pastebin.com and send the link for that post. [00:48] archboxman: I tried ubuntu-ive-usb, all the same [00:48] what are the terminal commands to manually connect to internet via ethernet? [00:48] is there a linux security channel ? [00:48] Jeangleur: most of the logistic cames need to have the driver compiled... [00:48] rastasean: Is the FTP server on Ubuntu or windows? Are you uploading or downloading from the server? [00:48] I just don't know how to sort the processes from max to min usage using the sort command... [00:48] archboxman: what can I do? [00:48] Is there a way to configure karmic to keep building packages for Python 2.5? [00:48] err [00:49] Is there a way to configure karmic to keep building packages for Python 2.4? [00:49] hipitihop: if your voip application is running, those ports will connect to it. if the voip application isn't running, those ports will appear closed. so you should be fine [00:49] danny_: the command ps can sort by CPU usage [00:49] Jeangleur: most of the logistic Camereas need the drive compiled they don't make a debian driver.... [00:50] sorry Waking up .... [00:50] tweiseman: Google for a tutorial. I'm sure there are plenty. [00:50] NewWorld. pastebin is http://pastebin.com/VGq9EzZF [00:50] archboxman: no problem. I am online since ten hours trying to get it done. will go to bed soon [00:50] !google > NewWorld [00:50] NewWorld, please see my private message [00:50] archboxman: do you have any idea? [00:50] archboxman: how can I compile it? [00:50] brjann, thanks.... so really the only thing I should consider is I am also running a wireless network here and booth wired machines and wirless machines are on same network (arguably should have seperate but a bit hard at the moment) , so I should probably restrict which machines are allowed to log into others [00:51] Jeangleur: yes you need to try to backport the camera.... [00:51] archboxman: how is that? [00:51] NewWorld, the confusion is that i cannot run it when i'm in the directory. only when i'm in another directory. [00:51] * shadows090 is confused [00:51] NewWorld the sound is workin great but not videos! i can listen sounds correctly [00:51] how to open pidgen? [00:51] Jeangleur: hold up... need coffee.. give me the model?? [00:51] manas: pidgen should be in applications-> internet [00:51] shadows090: That is weird... I don't know why. Sorry. [00:51] archboxman: Quickcam E2500 [00:52] NewWorld, not a problem. thanks for taking a few to look into it [00:52] shadows: i dont find it there [00:52] Jeangleur: run this command first lsusb does it see the camera!! [00:52] archboxman: id 046d:089d [00:52] hipitihop: you could lock ssh down further if you wanted to. you might take a look at tcpwrappers: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/09/02/network-security-with-tcpwrappers-hostsallow-and-hostsdeny/ [00:53] dexley: Is there anything you changed recently that you think could have affected this? [00:53] manas: you could run reinstall via synaptics packet manager under system. i know it sounds like an extra step but it works for me [00:53] archboxman:hey, I am on this since ten hours (no kidding) of course it does find it [00:53] Manas: just uninstall, apply, install, and apply [00:53] archboxman: Bus 003 Device 004: ID 046d:089d Logitech, Inc. [00:53] shadows: uninstall what? [00:53] brjann, thanks very much, will read up === nexsja is now known as nexsja^away [00:53] archboxman: ;-) [00:53] Jeangleur: slow down I see you.. [00:54] hipitihop: for example, I forward ssh through my router, but I've set up /etc/hosts.allow to only allow connections from my local network and my network at work [00:54] Jeangleur: here is a website follow along [00:54] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1043579 [00:54] uninstall pidgeon if it's not showing up under the applications menu. do you have it installed already? or no?

[01:03] NewWorld: u rock === booboo is now known as coz_ [01:03] shadows090: Device or mount point busy, I believe [01:03] hey I'm having a problem getting ubuntu to install. I burned a copy of the 9.10 dvd and attempted to install it. Went through all the setup screens in text-mode installation and after it automatically restarted all I have is a blinking cursor in the top left corner [01:03] ran the check disc for errors and compared the checksum on the iso file [01:03] dexley: lol I don't think we fixed anything :/ [01:03] shadows090: fdisk shows one linux partition, but in dev it shows up as sdc, sdc1 doesn't exist. [01:04] dexley: it's on a server.. no graphics available.. [01:04] sensae sudo touch /forcefsck [01:04] maybe? [01:04] then reboot [01:04] NewWorld: lol not yet but i learn sum'in! [01:04] progre55: sudo dpkg --purge PACKAGENAME; [01:04] and i love learnin lolz [01:05] Hey all, is there any news on when an official Firefox 3.6 package will be available ? Has anyone used the PPA version and what did people think about it [01:05] sensae: DON'T attempt to fix any filesystem errors before recovering what you can from the volume. I did this and lost a lot of stuff. [01:05] Typos_King: cool, let me try, thanks man [01:05] dexley: So try kaffeine to see if it plays properly :) [01:05] NewWorld: What would you suggest? I'm just trying to get it to mount so I can move files off the volume and wipe it completely [01:05] emergion: Theres proberly not going to be an official 3.6 - if you want it. Use the ppa - I use the 'stable' ppa [01:05] RedXIII: ... did you say you finished installing it, or isn't showing up grub? or? [01:06] emergion: i imagine most people are using the 'stable' ppa. or the 'daily build' ppa [01:06] NewWorld: kaffeine is askin for demux plugin; im about to give it to him! [01:06] heheh [01:06] Hello, you might remember me from famous questions like "how do I make a USB install disk" or "my power supply caught on fire Friday and my computer is all f-ed up!" :D [01:06] Typos_King: I walked away from my computer while it was installing, but I saw it restart itself [01:06] sensae: Mine couldn't mount aswell... there is an application called R-Linux which allowed me to recover all that I could. [01:06] sensae: what is the device name you are trying to mount? [01:06] Dr_Willis, where can I get that from ? Why no official 3.6? [01:06] RedXIII: .so... .you get to a Grub screen? [01:06] I assume it finished installing, now all I have on the screen is a blinking cursor and all inputs are unresponsive [01:07] i have some questions [01:07] NewWorld: can I apt-get it? [01:07] RedXIII: reboot then... to see if you get to a Grub screen [01:07] shadows090: Well, sdc [01:07] Grub screen would be the ubuntu loading screen? Just shows black [01:07] sensae: It runs under Windows heh :/ [01:07] I need to run install.sh, and "sh install.sh" is not working because of a syntax error. I am running Linux Mint Helena [01:07] Hard disk busy light blinks for a little then blinking cursor [01:08] RedXIII: grub meaning, a menu listing choices to boot from [01:08] nothing like that [01:08] I get a black screen whenever ubuntu starts up. I had installed Nvidia's driver, and i had stopped x using "sudo /etc/init.d/gmd stop". Any ideas? [01:08] who do I talk to about getting my name changed in the ubuntu wiki? (marriage has changed it) [01:08] RedXIII: reboot then... to see if you get to a Grub screen [01:08] LavaEagle: What is the syntax error? [01:08] i want to switch from the 64 bit architecture to 32 bit one (the latest version of ubuntu that i just downloaded) because 64 bit just isn't worth the trouble and i want my computer to work smoothly without the probs which i can perhaps solve but don't have the time to solve ... thanks for answering my question [01:08] jahplayer-ubuntu-dapper-x86.sh: 3: Syntax error: "(" unexpected [01:08] kassah: ubuntu-vicars j/k ^_^ [01:09] Typos_King: No Grub screen. Goes from BIOS screen to blinking cursor [01:09] @NitaiPal: Format, Install Ta da! [01:09] LavaEagle, but i don't want to lose my files [01:09] where do you add signed gpg keys? [01:09] such as [01:09] and i don't have ne thing to back up everything [01:09] Harddisk light blinks then cursor comes up [01:09] wget -q http://repository.cairo-dock.org/ubuntu/cairo-dock.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - [01:09] ? [01:09] RedXIII: .. then.. hehe... I'd assume the install didn't go through? [01:10] I wasn't prompted for any errors during installation [01:10] disc check ran with no errors and checksum was equal [01:10] RedXIII: but you never saw it end either [01:10] NitaiPal: Look up Ubuntu One, SkyDrive (By MSN) those places you upload your files to, however the max upload is 2 - 2.5 gigs [01:10] I would have imagined a big red box saying "FAIL" with some sort of error and wait for input [01:10] LavaEagle, i have like over 50 gigs [01:11] emergion: ubuntu dosent do 'rolling updates' updates are just for security issues. Not just new versions. Theres numerous sites that guide on setting up the PPAs for firefox [01:11] Can someone recommend a software tool for managing raw files ON the camera? gthumb doesn't even see them and with f-spot I can only copy them, not delete them. [01:11] I set up the user account and everything, should I just reinstall? [01:11] LavaEagle, is there no way to change it without having to worry bout my files .. like how it happens with upgrade [01:11] sensae, what is the output of fdisk -l (small L)? [01:11] RedXIII: did it copy all the files and everything? [01:11] RedXIII: the installation almost at the end.. may ask for user input [01:11] @NitaiPal: Oh yes actually, how big is your harddrive? [01:11] RedXIII: anything plugged into usb (shouldnt matter..but) [01:11] k thanks guys for the help [01:11] RedXIII: sooooo.... we dunno whatever happened after ubiquity finished, if it did [01:12] Is there a way to revert to legacy grub after trying to install grub2? (using old version) [01:12] Nothing in the USBs. Just got PS2 mouse/keyboard, power, and an ethernet === coz_ is now known as booboo [01:12] and of course monitor [01:12] RedXIII: you can always boot to the installtation cd and take a look at the drive atleast install grub [01:12] would anyone be willing to help a newb understand why the Intel PRO1000 card shows up on lspci, but cant connect to the internet? [01:12] Radeon HD 5770 [01:12] I tried the "rescue this system" option on the disc but I'm not sure what to do [01:12] RedXIII: is it a live cd?

I feel like going to the store and giving MicroShit/MicroShaft more money for Win 7 since my RC is out of time. I get a black screen whenever ubuntu starts up. I had installed Nvidia's driver, and i had stopped x using "sudo /etc/init.d/gmd stop". Any ideas? [01:13] LavaEagle, like 120 [01:13] RedXIII: okay boot it back up select Try Ubuntu from the menu [01:13] nope, installed from the text-mode installer. I thought it would be faster. [01:13] RedXIII: yea so you downloaded the alternate iso? [01:13] !grub | RedXIII [01:13] RedXIII: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [01:14] LavaEagle, actually , 250 to be exact [01:14] RedXIII: I would check the media first then follow those instructons for fixing grub [01:14] FLOYD, i would suggest checking the md5sum [01:14] shadows090: I just took a really really risky move and fixed it. I did an fdisk /dev/sdb and rewrote the partition table, I got it to mount. [01:14] RedXIII: by media I mean do a check of the install disc [01:14] sensae: very bold lol. well done [01:14] hello guys my video webcam is work everywere but not in skype how is it posible [01:14] I already ran a check on the ISO and ran the install disc for defects before installing [01:14] Im trying to setup eclipse so that I can program in java so I installed eclipse and openjdk but when I tryed to compile a program it didn't compile [01:15] I'll try the restore grub thing now I spose. [01:15] RedXIII: then I would try to follow the instructions from ubottu for installing grub [01:15] Scarra3: what was the error? [01:15] RedXIII: that or a reinstall and make sure its not hanging. After the files are copied you have ot enter user information etc... [01:15] shadows090: I believe mdadm recognized it as a raid device and ate it's superblock [01:15] RedXIII: did it prompt you for that? [01:15] it prompted for user information [01:15] sensae: well i'm glad you got it figured out. i wouldn't have thought to point you in that direction [01:16] shadow090 no error it just wouln't compile it said it cant find the java compiler [01:16] Scarra: are you doing it through the terminal? or are you running through the eclipse IDE? [01:16] RedXIII: and you told it to reboot? [01:16] RedXIII: removed the cd and hit enter? [01:16] It automatically rebooted [01:16] oh.. didn't prompt me to hit enter [01:16] should I assume the install hit an error? [01:16] hey [01:16] NitaiPal: 1. Restart your computer with Ubuntu 32bit. 2. Under Administration select partition editor(manager). 3. Create a 50gig partition(or however much you need) 4. Copy the files you want onto that partition. 5. Install Ubuntu 32bit. 6. select the large partition where Ubuntu 64bit was and install there [01:17] your are qikly... [01:17] RedXIII: Nah it should tell you to remove the cd and press enter I thought. Did you take the install disk out?

I was given a blank screen with nothing on it but the computer light was flashing like it went into sleep mode [01:17] !patience > donvito [01:17] NitaiPal: after you are done installing grab the files from that partition, then put the live cd in again and delete that partition and join it with your Primary disk, or leave it for backups. [01:17] donvito, please see my private message [01:18] how do you get the original login screen [01:18] back [01:18] !home | NitaiPal [01:18] NitaiPal: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [01:18] wouldn't respond to me holding the power button, so I unplugged it. Had to wait 30 seconds before it would turn back on [01:18] scarra: do you have java runtime installed? [01:18] NitaiPal: all you ahve to do is put your /home in a seperate partition then you can reinstall / or change distros and all your files will be saved. [01:18] RedXIII: ? sounds like you might be having other issues. [01:18] scarra: you can check by typing in "java -v" or "java -version" (one or the other) in the term [01:18] lemme read all of that one sec [01:19] Yeah. I guess so. Can't imagine what it is though. [01:19] Ok thx shadows090 [01:19] how do i get all 3d effects in ubuntu 9.10 [01:19] I'll try reinstalling the OS. [01:19] Dan_E: System > Preferences > Appearence [01:19] NitaiPal: basically what i said [01:19] Dan_E: install proper 3d video card drivers and play with the compiz settings tools till your eyes explode [01:19] k [01:19] !ccsm | Dan_E [01:19] Dan_E: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'.

[01:25] n4cht: just ask [01:25] LavaEagle, the main reason i'm doing this is because my cpu Fan is too loud [01:25] Installing the 32lib [01:25] histo: or revert it to orig. screen [01:25] m0in: yeah thats in there. [01:25] sweet [01:25] ty [01:26] NitaiPal: what about the other problems you were experiencing? i was recently on it that very OS and didn't have any trouble [01:26] LavaEagle, i have a inspiron 530 [01:26] i'm getting a new cpu fan/heatsink combo that looks like a wicked turbine, once i buy my danger den torture bench. [01:26] Lavaeagle: you will install the app. When it moans about deps you will need to download the 32bit deb, extract it, then place the .so file in /usr/lib32 [01:26] m0in: you can get new themes from gnome-look.org as well [01:26] LavaEagle, youtube works on and off and i have to somestimes switch between browsers and stuff [01:26] tarehart: what is the problem with jitter? [01:26] histo: thanks, i will look [01:26] Akon-man: uname -a ,will show the running kernel [01:26] m0in: for the gdm in 9.10 theres a tool called Epidermis that can install alternative themes for it. Also some tools I got listed at http://delicious.com/dr_willis/gdm2 (i think) [01:26] n4cht, Zalmans are nice, but what's that got to do with Ubuntu? [01:27] there is anyway to work with touchscreen in a laptop toshiba running ubuntu [01:27] the cursor shakes a few pixels back and forth when my finger is still === AllHail is now known as AllHailTheGeek [01:27] Red_HamsterX: NitaiPal was talking about having a cpu fan that's too loud. [01:27] LavaEagle: NitaiPal they have 64bit flash now if thats what you guys are talking about. [01:27] newclimb: ive seen linux laptops with touchscreens befor. But never owned one. [01:27] Akon-man: dpkg -l | grep linux-image ,will list the installed kernels. Remove the ones that AREN'T the one you are running [01:27] NitaiPal: histo is right [01:27] newclimb: shouldn't matter what type of computer the touchscreen is on [01:28] Akon-man: then run: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove ,to remove the modules and fluff [01:28] I found a website that suggested that the driver might not be averaging the input like it should [01:28] Red_HamsterX: also... i didn't realize this isn't OT... lol. new irssi theme and i forgot to add channel name to statusbar. [01:28] NitaiPal: but if your cpu is unable to handle the OS definately drop down and you have a far better time. [01:28] LavaEagle: NitaiPal I've run 64bit for a long time everything works in it that I've ever used. [01:28] i thought there was an awful lot of unfamiliar nicks. lol [01:28] histo: toshiba satelite u505 [01:28] Akon-man: you can also use deborphan to remove orphaned packages to gain more space [01:28] NitaiPal: What are you trying to do? [01:28] histo: He is on an Inprion 540 [01:28] ok will give will try it out tyvm [01:28] LavaEagle: and what was the question? [01:29] I have a xbox 360 dvd in my drive.. and can't mount it even with sudo mount /dev/dvdrw /media/cdrom0 .. How do I do this? [01:29] newclimb: let me check something [01:29] tarehart: weird. no movement when your not holding a finger on the pad? [01:29] garhol: that's correct [01:29] histo: He wants to go from 64 bit Karmic to 32bitKarmic and backup 50 gigs with out an external drive [01:30] Should have a backup anyway [01:30] NitaiPal: I would create a seperate home partition. Like I explained. Why would you switch from 64bit to 32bit? [01:30] No backup == data is disposable [01:30] garhol: and it was fine on 8.04 and windows 7 [01:30] histo, 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 stuff [01:30] newclimb: should be recognized by usbtouchscreen at the kernel level [01:31] histo: how can i do that? [01:31] I feel dumb i thought that was an intel processor for some reason [01:31] Ive cant think of any issues ive had with 64bit on my 3 mahines ive been using it on for the last 2+ yers [01:31] Nitaipal: check acpi settings etc. 100% works here for 64bit [01:31] Dr_Willis: Same. [01:31] ive had MUCH more issues with 'brand new just came out' laptops .. :) [01:31] Only problem I ever had was 64-bit Flashplayer. [01:32] tarehart: thinking, the synaptics touchpad stuff was listed in xorg.conf before but that is gone in 9.10 gimme a mo to look about [01:32] Claptrap: tried the 64bit native flash? [01:32] NitaiPal: your not really downgrading [01:32] linux disrtos seem to take a few months to catch up to the new things in new laptops [01:32] ActionParsnip: Yeah, that's the one that gave me problems. [01:32] garhol: ok, thanks [01:32] newclimb: let me do some more reading hold up [01:32] tarehart: out of interest, what make of system is it? [01:32] histo: all right thanks [01:33] asus [01:33] Claptrap: strange works great here. Different systems I guess [01:33] ActionParsnip: Well, it works as far as Flash games themselves are concerned. The issues were with a specific site (Kongregate.com) [01:33] newclimb: its a built in touchscreen? [01:34] ActionParsnip: 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] Claptrap: I play cyclomaniac on there. I use flashblock in chromium daily and block all flash except the game [01:34] newclimb: I see there are fan issues with your laptop in ubuntu [01:34] ActionParsnip: Really now. [01:34] Claptrap: totally [01:34] newclimb: but i'm not seeing anything regarding a touchscreen on that model [01:35] Claptrap: also 64bit java using the file at www.java.com [01:35] histo, what are the major differences between 64 bit and 32 bit anywyas [01:35] ActionParsnip: That's... interesting. :E I tried Firefox, Chrome, Opera and Seamonkey to no avail. [01:35] Claptrap: nspluginwrapper sucks for me [01:35] Claptrap: I use chromium from the daily build ppa [01:35] !64bit | NitaiPal [01:35] NitaiPal: 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] NitaiPal: Compatibility. Some things don't work on 64 bit that do on 32 bit. 32bit is more compatible and better supported. [01:36] ActionParsnip: D'you think I need 64 bit on both sides for it to work correctly, then? [01:36] I can only think of One app thats not on 64bit thats on 32. that i would use. :) [01:36] claptrap: nope [01:36] so why 64 bit NewWorld ? no reason to right? [01:36] tarehart: sudo apt-get install gsynaptics then turn down the minspead in there to slow. that should fix it [01:36] ActionParsnip: Also, are youh having issues with flickering? [01:36] Claptrap: nspluginwrapper should handle it [01:37] 64bit is faster in a great many tasks. and improveing all the time [01:37] tarehart: sorry, should be minspeed [01:37] Claptrap: not here [01:37] NitaiPal: Some argue it's faster at certain tasks, like the professional kind - video editing, number crunching,etc. [01:37] ActionParsnip: You on Karmic? [01:37] Claptrap: lucid a3 but was identical in karmic [01:37] Given the CPU load just to play back some videos with some codecs.. its getting more and more noticeable [01:37] garhol: that worked, thanks! [01:37] NewWorld, nothing to do with better graphics and such right? [01:37] NewWorld: that's because under the right circumstances is is faster [01:37] hello im new with linux.. which commands to use to know which computers are interacting with any wireless [01:37] i'm using KDE, how can i find out how much RAM a system has installed? [01:38] ActionParsnip: 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] ActionParsnip: I'm not even able to install it so it can wine about reps. If I found the source and compiled it? [01:38] Devdz: your router will tell you [01:38] tarehart: splendid :) have fun [01:38] NitaiPal: I'm not sure about that sorry. [01:38] NitaiPal: the main reason you'd want to use 64 bit over 32 imo is because it natively handles more than 4 gigs of ram [01:38] and wow, xorg.conf is really minimal these days [01:38] tarehart: some of my systems have no xorg.conf [01:38] tarehart: Dbus FTW [01:39] tarehart: yup, been a few people on tonight with nvidia issues andthe lack of xorg has thrown them a bit [01:39] yeah, my systems don't have configs either [01:39] lavaeagle: you will need to force install it. If you have ia32-libs installed it will run [01:39] NitaiPal: theres benchmarks on 64 vs 32 - dpending on what you do - you may want 64. I use 64 on all my machines [01:39] help [01:39] Lavaeagle: is there not a ppa with a 64bit build? [01:40] Dr_Willis, i just do simple browsing and watching movies and such ... which is better for me? [01:40] NitaiPal: in your case probably 32 bit [01:40] NitaiPal: I'd say definetly 32bit, don't hassle yourself with 64 [01:40] NitaiPal: some video codecs these days can really suck down the cpu. [01:40] Dr_Willis, so 32 bit wud b better for my CPU? [01:40] NitaiPal: if you got more then 4 gb ram - GO 64 - if You do video reencoding go 64.. [01:41] exactly [01:41] ActionParsnip: No this seems to be 32bit only [01:41] If you got a low end cpu/system that can do 64 and watch HD movies.. well it may be a benifit also [01:41] oh yeah [01:41] Nitaipal: you can use pae in 32bit if you have more than 4gb ram [01:41] ActionParsnip: pae sucks, compared to native handling [01:41] seriously [01:41] okay what are the main commands to communicate with a router please i mean to know what the router is doing in a moment [01:41] ActionParsnip, whats pae? [01:41] Lavaeagle: have you checked the ppa seach? [01:42] Nitaipal: it breaks the ram up to allow the kernel to access more ram [01:42] ActionParsnip: how would I go about doing that? Software/Synaptic ? [01:42] ActionParsnip: Honestly dude, imo its merely an ugly hack [01:42] manager* [01:42] !pae | nitaipal [01:42] Syn-ack: it works though [01:43] ActionParsnip: if you have the resources to do native 64 bit addressing it's better to just do that instead of using a hack [01:43] again, imo [01:43] This is why I lurk in here. [01:43] Syn-ack: true but if 32bit is advantageous to the user otherwise then pae is fine [01:44] Imho [01:44] yeah [01:44] is there a command to find out all the specs of my comp [01:44] NitaiPal: cat /proc/cpuinfo [01:44] NitaiPal: lshw [01:44] NitaiPal: lshw, lspci etc [01:45] Nitaipal: lspci; cat /proc/cpuinfo | tail -n 20 | grep model [01:45] nitaipal: works for single core :) [01:46] How do I install ia32-libs on i686? [01:46] LavaEagle: you don't have to [01:46] LavaEagle: and i don't think its availbilbe [01:46] whats a command that will tell me my harddrive size ram and such [01:46] its not [01:46] ok anyone got an eee pc t91mt ? wondering if there is working mt driver and where ? [01:46] NitaiPal: lshw [01:46] sorry touch screen [01:46] NitaiPal: sudo lshw |more [01:46] Lavaeagle: i686 is 32bit [01:47] My bad [01:47] wrong numbers [01:47] But I am 64bir [01:47] Nitaipal: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=606437 [01:47] bit [01:47] Lavaeagle: what does uname -a say [01:48] how many people believe corporate espionage takes place?

I always go 64 and rarely have any issues [01:58] NitaiPal: that's really not a bad system [01:58] I dont see how 'fan speed' is going to be related to the 64/32 bits [01:58] Nitaipal: i'd go 32bit. If all you want is web and chat. 64bit will allow you easier expansion [01:58] NitaiPal: I agree with everything Willis just told you [01:58] and ActionParsnip for that matter [01:59] The only 32bit box i got is my Netbook.

[02:02] NitaiPal: irrelevant [02:02] Nitaipal: 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 speed [02:02] ActionParsnip: it most certainly does. [02:03] Syn-ack: how so? [02:03] If the fan is not spported in teh bios/kernel - then the 64/32 dont matter at all. [02:03] it's more than likely as simple as redirecting something to /proc even [02:03] ActionParsnip: I was referring to fan control [02:03] Syn-ack: yes but 32bit/64bit doesn't matter which is what I'm getting at [02:03] And I agreed [02:03] :) [02:03] quick help with the terminal thing, im new to ubuntu [02:04] Syn-ack: cool :D [02:04] NitaiPal: irrelevant [02:04] Docwiggles: sup [02:04] see? :P [02:04] !info samba-doc | kerebrus [02:04] kerebrus: samba-doc (source: samba): Samba documentation.

When these people are away, they can be summoned. [02:33] ricree: It may be a dependancy issue that is causing the bug [02:34] blakkheim: Might end up doing so. It is a work machine, so this is just temporary. [02:34] ricree: you can try the older packge if you want but I would build from source. [02:34] ricree: what program is it? [02:34] So those names are the people who would be summoned? [02:34] ActionParsnip: Will have a look, but it worked in Windows before I blew that away [02:34] I keep getting 'critical file transfer error' when I try to download a simple text file that i put in the /srv/ftp directory [02:34] stooj: if it doesn't show up even in lspci don't you think it's probably bad anyway? [02:34] I can see it, but I can't get to it. [02:35] veebull: permissions? [02:35] Riceree: i'd say so. You could download the deb from a ppa with an older version. Uninstall the current then install using the deb then pin the version so it doesn't get upgraded [02:35] histo : folder is 755, .gconf is 700. Should it be otherwise? [02:35] Stooj: ok that's cool. Reboot and run: dmesg | less ,see if its detected [02:35] ActionParsnip: isnt' that what backporting does? [02:35] histo, just found that. default permission (root) was 700, changed to 777 and I got it [02:35] would anyone be willing to help a newb understand why the Intel PRO1000 card shows up on lspci, but cant connect to the internet? [02:36] Blue1: true depends what's installed. Can you advise the guy/gal [02:36] tzeentch: my .gconf directory is 700, and gnome is working correctly for me [02:36] BayArea: what does lsmod tell you? [02:36] syn: let me take a look [02:36] ActionParsnip: i can try...I just got here so someone fill me in a bit please? [02:36] BayArea: you should see the iw2000 driver installed into the kernel [02:36] I think it's the iw2000 [02:36] Bayarea: if you set an ip and gateway and dns servers does it work? [02:36] tzeentch: .gconf should be 700 thats not it then [02:37] Blue1: user wants an older version than is availa ble on the repos [02:37] Tzeentch: check you are the owner too [02:37] This is ridiculous. I disable my touchpad in gsynaptics and Ubuntu turns it back on 30 seconds later. Ubuntu can't remember my X11 cursor for more than 30 minutes, god forbid I reboot.

[02:38] BayArea: refer to what ActionParsnip said [02:38] Hey, I just installed ubuntu, but now my windows isn't loading, I think it may have something to do with GRUB, but I'm not sure...

For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [02:39] magn3ts: synaptics drivers and X have been 'a work in progress' for a while. Im suprised that gsynaptics even works. [02:39] OK. Will let you know, ActionParsnip [02:39] Cheers [02:39] Dr_Willis, gsynaptics has been around for years though. I remember it being around in 8.04 [02:39] >_< [02:39] magn3ts: there have been a lot of subsystem changes since then its really been hit and miss [02:39] syn-ack: ok. i'm not sure what those value are. this is going directly to my cable modem (via DHCP from comcast) [02:40] magn3ts: 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 differntly [02:40] BayArea: did you cycle the modem? [02:40] magn3ts: i recall some docs/articals on it at the gsynaptics homepage [02:40] Any idea on how to change the port number in 9.10 ? [02:40] ffs [02:40] syn-ack: works fine when I plug the cable into my mac (this computer) [02:40] for remote desktop** [02:40] BayArea: it could be that the modem is still learned to the old MAC [02:40] histo : Yes it is. Could it be because I screwed up /etc/gdm/Init/Default ? [02:40] Gah, 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 has [02:40] BayArea: thats why, plug it into the other computer and cycle the modem [02:41] tzeentch: the other directory to check is .gnome [02:41] syn-ack: ok, gunna log me off then. thanks for your help, mate! you too ActionParsnip [02:41] tzeentch: you can try using gnome-session-save to save settings [02:41] magn3ts: 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 it [02:42] tzeentch: perhaps its a problem with that being called [02:42] histo : I don't have a .gnome. I got a .gnome2 and a .gnome2_private which are 700 and which I own. [02:42] Dr_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] tzeentch: try changing settings and running gnome-session-save in terminal then log out and back in see if that works [02:43] magn3ts: all politics aside, I wasnt impressed with 9.10. 10.04 will be different story though [02:43] tzeentch: actually disregard that [02:43] magn3ts: 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] i have deleted /etc/apache2 folder, now apache2 package cannot be installed properly. how to solve this? [02:43] join #ubuntu-uy [02:44] hola! alguien que hable español?

[02:44] tzeentch: I don't htink session-save does that. Is it any setting you chagne thats not being saved? [02:44] Hey guys, perl question here, if im not in the right place just point me the way, but when i try to install a package to perl from CPAN it said "returned status 512, wont make" any suggestions? [02:45] Unstable: I would ask the packager [02:45] Unstable: or #perl [02:45] syn-ack, Dr_Willis, you're right. I say 9.10 and I know that a lot of that has to do with GNOME. Ugh. I just can't stand QT and the same problems I have with how GNOME is configured are the problems I have with KDE [02:45] Oh well. [02:45] tzeentch: there is #gnome also [02:45] magn3ts: wait for gnome-3 people will go berzerke [02:46] The packager? [02:46] Dr_willis: when is it due? [02:46] And thanks for direction to #perl [02:46] Dr_Willis: Are they going to do the panels thing? [02:46] Dr_Willis, I still want to see a new DE rise up that integrates well with compiz by default, etc. [02:46] Dr_Willis: that will really freak people out [02:46] ActionParsnip: gnome-3 is still in the whiteboard stage. :) [02:46] Dr_willis: nice [02:46] magn3ts: compiz will be dead in a few years i imagine. [02:46] Gnome doesn't change very much [02:46] Dr_Willis, uh why do you say that? [02:47] X will obsorb compiz [02:47] Dr_willis: with some hope :) [02:47] magn3ts: the fetures it does are gettting assemliated [02:47] histo : One example is the System->preferences->apperance->Visual Effects I got to re-enable it every time I log on. [02:47] Emerald is allready basicaly dead [02:47] Dr_Willis, into...? the DE itself? Quite frankly, I don't want ot see the flexibilty I have with compiz gnome-ified. [02:47] yeah [02:47] tzeentch: i always use the fusion-icon tool - it seems to smooth out some quiks like that [02:47] Tzeentch: add the command in startup items [02:47] magn3ts: you will always have flexibility in linux even if its inegrated [02:48] tzeentch, I will second what Dr_Willis just said. [02:48] So, can anyone help...? [02:48] magn3ts: thats one of the problems there are 99 ways to do one given task [02:48] Nolan2: sup [02:48] histo, yeah but I know that the simple but powerful GUI for compiz now would be obliterated if put into GNOME core [02:48] :[ [02:49] * ActionParsnip prefers openbox to compiz [02:49] Simple GUI for compiz? what one are you refering to? [02:49] :) [02:49] magn3ts: I'm one of the anti-gnome-3ers out there and I'm already migrating all my systems over to XFCE [02:49] Theres the idiot-friendly one and the nightmarish one... [02:49] Oh, that link you gave me up there didn't really help ActionParsnip. [02:49] Nolan2: what is your issue? [02:49] Dr_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 configurable [02:50] I think compiz needs a tool to print out all the keybindings that are in USE for a given setup. :) [02:50] but theres only like 4 features i use in compiz [02:51] syn-ack: stumpwm :) [02:51] How can I reset my alsa configs to an out of the box ubuntu clean install config? [02:51] Flwm! [02:51] parolang: I'm partial to GTk [02:51] :p [02:51] crap. lol [02:51] As I was saying.. === techhelper1 is now known as Craighton [02:51] Dr_Willis: With ccsm's advanced search feature, you can press a keybinding and see if it's assigned to any plugin === Craighton is now known as techhelper1 [02:51] [21:50] I just installed Ubuntu 9.10, and when I try to dual boot into windows, it doesn't do anything. [02:51] [21:50] It just displays a blinking - [02:51] syn-ack: GTK is a widget toolkit. Stumpwm is a window manager. You can (and do) use both :) [02:52] Claybustr: rename or delete the .gnome .gnome2 etc folders in $HOME. You will need to do the same to $HOME/.config [02:52] parolang: I'm aware of that. but I like the integration of which is provided in Gnome and XFCE. ;) === pipegeek1 is now known as pipegeek [02:52] Hi, I have a problem with Wireless.. My machine used to work and at some point it stopped getting a dhcp address from my router. I can see my router other computers can connect to it (android phone, windows pc etc.) w/out issue but dhclient commands try and fail. Any ideas where I can start looking to fix this? [02:52] did ya see that ActionParsnip? [02:52] syn-ack: kay :) [02:53] will that also get rid of the stuck phantom gnome-display-properties in the notification area? [02:53] parolang: imo it give a much more integrated look over running something like OpenBox then gtk apps on top, etc [02:53] Nolan3: rename xorg.conf if you have one. Also run: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [02:53] try booting to your windows recovery console and fixmbr [02:53] Nolan3: use root recovery console [02:53] Anyway, what I came here to ask is...I set the option to decrypt my home partition when I log in on the install. This won't give me any problems, will it? What is the program it uses for encryption? [02:54] Uhh.. Where is that? [02:54] Nolan3: hold shift at boot, you will see grub menu. Choose the recovery mode then root [02:54] syn-ack: What window manager do you run with xfce? [02:54] actually, just say screw windows and just use linux [02:55] :D [02:55] parolang: compiz or xfwm [02:55] >.> I've never heard that one before cyb3r3li0g [02:55] syn-ack: Oh...didn't know about xfwm. [02:55] syn-ack: I stay away from compiz :) [02:55] ActionParsnip: Bah. It was disabled - someone else in the office disabled it when trying to fix windows. Thanks for the help anyway :) [02:55] xfwm is the default window manager for XFCE [02:55] Parolang: me too [02:55] okay, I'll try that now ActionParsnip.

Any idea on how to troubleshoot this issue? [03:20] sudo dpkg --configure -a isnt working [03:21] brjann: Just tried it. It worked. I remember it now though. :) [03:21] kinja-sheep: really? what did you do? there's a long-standing bug in launchpad re: gedit's inability to read from pipes [03:22] Hey, I just installed Ubuntu, but now it's not letting be boot into windows. It shows the Windows selection, but when I try to select it it just Gives me a blinking _ [03:22] And suggestions? [03:22] Any* [03:22] brjann: grep or whatever (to get a list of files) | xargs gedit [03:22] Hi all, is there a grep expression for excluding lines? === Nolan3 is now known as Nolan2 [03:23] kinja-sheep: oh, you just wanted to open the files? i'm sorry, i thought you wanted to edit the list itself :) === sshc_ is now known as sshc [03:23] sudo dpkg --configure -a isnt working, something is failing to configure [03:23] Nolan2: odd, I've never had any problems, how did you install it? livecd or wubi?

Any idea on how to troubleshoot this issue? Connecting through a ethernet controller. Running Karmic (9.10) [03:28] why do users use unstable verisons of ubuntu as stable ones [03:28] fivetwentysix: I'm assuming you've verified that it's not your ISP? :) [03:29] alex702: it isn't there XrandR takes care of everything in most cases ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xorg.conf [03:29] brjann: Yes, I'm connected to the same router on a mac book pro. [03:29] Lenin_Cat: Because stable machines freed up 90% of their times and they wish to avoid doing something productive. [03:29] brjann: However I'm through wireless. I will test now to see if it works with a wire. [03:29] what does shift control alt f4 do? [03:29] fivetwentysix: good idea [03:29] !VMWare [03:29] VMWare is not available in the Ubuntu repositories.

[03:31] hi, guys. google chrome unstable and beta have been stallling on me the last couple of days. i finally looked at htop and realized that old sessions hadn't closed. could that be the reason new sessions are stalling? chrome is installed in /opt if it makes any difference. [03:32] brjann: The network manager icon just keeps spinning but does nothing, can even go on for hours. [03:32] fivetwentysix_: does that machine just have one network card?

I'm guessing there's no stage 5 of 5 because I searched my whole log for it to find nothing. [03:41] what's the cmd to see the current version of ubuntu i have installed? [03:41] rinah, type "/join #ubuntu-offtopic" without the " around it [03:41] crankharder, "lsb_release -a" in terminal [03:41] fivetwentysix: yes, stage 5 is finalizing the network connection, which clearly isn't happening [03:42] brjann: Well it should display like on yesterdays log because it was working yesterday. [03:42] GeekSquid: you may want to take a look at the guidelines also and the !coc. I am sure that it says something about not calling people idiots [03:42] fivetwentysix: yesterday's log has probably been rotated; those are the .1, .2.gz, ... etc files [03:42] brjann: Was there any new updates that have occurred like a kernel update in the past few days, perhaps the user updated the machine and something broke. === tek__ is now known as cyberbluntz [03:43] fivetwentysix: no, i don't recall anything in the last few days besides a sudo security update [03:43] I'm wondering if someone can shed some light on why I can't boot into my usb installer. I did it yesterday, but instead of booting to usb, I guess it couldn't find it and went to network install and errored out. I got a proper usb stick today (was using an sd card with adapter yesterday) and now it says boot loader not found [03:43] fivetwentysix: try this: sudo service network-manager stop [03:44] fivetwentysix: then sudo service networking restart [03:44] Hey I forgot how to install a program using the "Make" feature can anyone guide me? [03:44] where does upstart keep its job definitions in 9.10? [03:45] Arsin: what are you trying to install? [03:45] i *think* they were kept in /etc/event.d in 8.10, but that's changed... maybe? [03:45] GeekSquid: Avira [03:45] !checkinstall | Arsin [03:45] Arsin: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! [03:46] i installed wine, then winetricks... now all my firefox fonts are broken, they look awful... i tried uninstalling "ms core fonts", but they're still broken... what should i do ?? [03:46] make: *** [avira-guard-applet] Error 1-- is what I get when I "sudo make install" [03:47] Arsin: lack of permissions maybe? [03:47] aw, nevermind [03:47] There is a "make" file in there [03:47] Should I use FAT32 on a 1TB external drive, or should i use NTFS. I was thinking FAT32 is more compatable, but also NTFS has better support for larger drives :-/ [03:47] I did, make clean, make, make install [03:48] Kamokow, ntfs works great with the new driver [03:48] i installed wine, then winetricks... now all my firefox fonts are broken, they look awful... i tried uninstalling "ms core fonts", but they're still broken... what should i do ?? [03:48] Oh I;m getting that error when I run "make" [03:48] oso3000: Okay, thanks, I just have had problems with NTFS before, thought I would ask what anyone else thought. [03:48] ntfs is working fine now :) [03:49] Arsin: sounds like a compilation problem, which is really beyond the scope of #ubuntu support [03:49] I have something that is hanging my machine at shutdown. Is there a way on restart to get the contents shown in the shutdown console? [03:49] #list [03:49] Arsin: I am not sure what you would need that for, linux is pretty virus free, I don't know why anyone would pay for virus software for linux... nextly, what brjann just said is true [03:49] i don't use fat/fat32 anymore (except my thumb drv) [03:49] !list [03:49] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic.

[03:50] fivetwentysix: okay. try sudo service network-manager stop and then sudo service networking restart [03:50] GeekSquid: Ya I never have used an anti-virus but a torrent I DL'ed according to the tracker message says "Its a virus" but the file works fine so I'd like to figure out what's going on with that. [03:51] i'm getting an error of : "org.freedesktop.Notifications was not provided by any .service files" when i try to use that dbus service via python to print notifications to the screen... i have notification-daemon installed...

[03:53] fivetwentysix: the internet does not like you tonight :) [03:53] while installing xserver-xorg-input-evtouch on command line its showing error as package not found [03:53] brjann: actually some kind of hardware issue with my macbookpro [03:53] brjann: really annoying [03:54] brjann: So did you have any further instructions? [03:54] do i need to add any repository for this? [03:54] fivetwentysix: i can imagine. yes i did: try sudo service network-manager stop and then sudo service networking restart [03:54] hola [03:54] brjann: sudo service network-manager restarrt? [03:55] fivetwentysix: no, first sudo service network-manager stop [03:55] i'm trying to boot into the ubuntu installer using a usb stick. i keep getting the error message bootmgr is missing. the only fix i see is to use a windows install dvd, but my drive is not currently working. any ideas? [03:55] surjya: it is in the universe repository ... go to software sources, repoistories, and check universe and reload apt cache [03:55] fivetwentysix: then sudo service networking restart [03:55] brjann: unknown instance [03:55] fivetwentysix: this is karmic, right? [03:55] brjann: yes === WindPower_ is now known as WindPower [03:56] Hi I have ubuntu 9.10, when I do apt-get update it gets to 92% then gives me a input/output error [03:56] fivetwentysix: sudo service --status-all 2>&1 | grep -i network [03:56] i did --status-list, there is indeed networking below network-manager but they have a ? in front of them [03:56] http://pastebin.ca/1816488 [03:56] fivetwentysix: okay, that's normal, mine shows that too. nevermind the grep command above then [03:57] fivetwentysix: sudo service network-manager status [03:57] brjann: stop/waiting [03:57] aggro, How did you try to get the Ubuntu installer onto the usb stick? "bootmgr missing" is a windows error so I don't understand what that has to do with installing Ubuntu from a flash drive. [03:57] fivetwentysix: okay, then sudo service networking restart [03:58] brjann: restart: Unknown instance: [03:58] brjann: says nothing after Unknown instance: [03:58] How can I get Clam-AV to open up? [03:58] Jordan_U, I am using UNetbootin to create the installer onto the usb drive. [03:58] fivetwentysix: odd. okay then, sudo service networking start [03:58] brjann: networking: stop/waiting [03:59] brjann: perhaps i need to start networking manager first? [03:59] fivetwentysix: okay, now look at the end of your syslog and see if there's anything new related to networking, eth0, etc [03:59] Arsin: instructions here http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-install-clam-antivirus-with-gtk-frontend-gui.html [03:59] aggro, Are you sure that you are booting from the USB drive when you get that error? [03:59] fivetwentysix: no, network-manager isn't required for networking [04:00] Jordan_U, yes, not only have I changed BIOS setting to looks for bootable USB sticks, I am also manually selecting that particular media to boot from using the "boot manager" (mac os term) [04:00] brjann: nothing related to networking, or eth0, except the last line says kernel: [ 3771.417051 ] sky2 eth0: disabling interface [04:00] brjann: this is 5 minutes ago though [04:01] having rootstock issue: sudo project-rootstock/rootstock --fqdn ubuntu --login ubuntu --password ubuntu --notarball --imagesize 3G hangs at I: Extracting zlib1g...

[04:01] brjann: when I typed network-manager stop i think [04:01] anyone else playing with rootstock on karmic have same issue? [04:02] Jordan_U, I got it, looks like it didn't like the USB key being in NTFS format. Changed it to FAT32 and now it is indeed booting. thanks for your replies :) [04:02] aggro, You're welcome :) === lookitsdre is now known as dre [04:02] spiffythekid: I wouldn't say all distro's but /etc/crontab is the default for ubuntu [04:02] fivetwentysix: okay. lemme think for a sec [04:02] anybody want to help with getting my wireless going?

[04:14] gps on ttyUSB0 shows data but does recognize in gpsdrive. anyone know the solution? thanks [04:14] fivetwentysix: with the wire plugged in ... open a terminal and ping 66.18.141.211 .. see if you get a response from the server [04:14] **does't [04:14] brjann: Network is unreachable! [04:14] brjann: lol [04:14] fivetwentysix: you can check that in synaptic, under File > History. it'll show you what packages have been installed and when [04:15] brjann: guess not, last entry was on the 18th of feb [04:16] fivetwentysix: alright. let's try something else [04:16] fivetwentysix: what's the IP of the laptop you're on now? probably 192.168.x.x [04:16] hi, how can I change the routing table in Linux? in order to decide which gateway should I use based on the source address [04:16] brjann: 192.168.1.103 [04:17] brjann: you want me to ping it right, but theres no connection to the network from ubuntu to the router [04:17] brjann: now, that wasn't me :) [04:17] fivetwentysix: whoops, talking to myself. no, that wasn't me :) [04:17] is this channel for internet related problems only? sry im kind of new to this [04:17] fivetwentysix: alright, let's try giving your problem computer a static ip [04:18] brjann: ok [04:18] ultimate edition corrupted my images how do i fix this [04:18] brjann: How-to? I actually always wanted to know how to do this. [04:18] fivetwentysix: sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.222 netmask 255.255.255.0 up [04:18] fivetwentysix: this is a temporary assignment, it wouldn't last across reboots [04:19] I am having an issue with an HP F4180 printer, accessing through an SAMBA share from a Windows2000 PC using karmic. Issue: The HP F4100 series driver only causes my printer to spin-up and not actually print when sending a job [probably due to the job not being sent properly and the printer rejecting it]. Any ideas? Please help. Thank you. [04:19] fixing fprint reader??? fingerprint reader shows in device list but fprint demo doesn't recognize. fingerprint gui shows device but doesn't accept data? [04:19] brjann: okay did that followed by service network-manager restart [04:20] fivetwentysix: no, we're trying without network-manager now ;) [04:20] otis: Ultimate Edition isn't a supported Ubuntu derivative, you'd have to ask them about it. [04:20] brjann: stop networking manager? [04:20] fivetwentysix: network-manager will try and assume control of the device [04:20] fivetwentysix: mhm, sudo service network-manager stop [04:21] fivetwentysix: then again: sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.222 netmask 255.255.255.0 up [04:21] avahi registers aedddress record for 192.168.1.222 on eth0.IPv4 [04:21] brjann: link becomes ready [04:22] fivetwentysix: fantastic. now ping 192.168.1.103 [04:22] brjann: then stops at no IPv6 routers present [04:22] What's a good way to get rid of lots of the useless fonts in Ubuntu? [04:22] fivetwentysix: that's fine, ipv4 is all we care about now [04:22] brjann: bingo [04:22] brjann: can ping [04:22] See previous comment : is this purely a driver issue, or can I do something about this? [04:22] I get this error when I try to play music in rhythmbox The playback of this movie requires a MPEG-1 Layer 3 (MP3) decoder plugin which is not installed. [04:22] how do i fix corrupt images [04:22] fivetwentysix: alright. your problem is clearly not hardware related -- it seems like network-manager is failing to get a dynamic IP from your router [04:23] I'm having trouble getting Compiz Fusion and Emerald to work properly, Emerald will theme the outside of the window, but the inside (text/window background/scrollbars ect) is still the same as the original GTK theme, I have ran both by Terminal and they don't display any errors, any advice? [04:23] brjann: yup === Guest11795 is now known as isp [04:23] fivetwentysix: do you have any sort of limitations enabled on what mac addresses are allowed to get IPs from the router or anything like that? [04:23] jazusa03: that is perfectly normal === arleslie is now known as arleslie|away [04:23] ubottu: emerald | jazusa03 [04:23] jazusa03: emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. [04:24] brjann: it's a linksys wireless router [04:24] brjann: and i don't think so, i think this is a client side issue because it works with my macbook pro [04:24] how do i fix corrupt images [04:25] I guess i will search for an alternative to Emerald then [04:25] fivetwentysix: Have you tried restarting the router/renewing the DHCP record on the router? [04:25] anyone see this message? [04:25] why does ubuntu not shut down the monitors backlight after being idle ? [04:25] it shuts down the panel or makes everything black but the backlight is still on [04:26] jazusa03: regardless of the decorator you use, the contents of your apps will look the same [04:26] Jon- yeah [04:26] DJ_HaMsTa: Your mileage may vary. It works fine for me. My monitor goes to standby mode. [04:26] fivetwentysix: okay, since we've been mucking with services and IPs and such, would you reboot your problem computer so we can start fresh looking at network-manager specifically? [04:26] brjann: btw i don't have internet access on ubuntu, however i can connect to the router admin page [04:27] fivetwentysix: right, that's because we didn't set up DNS, just IP [04:27] brjann: alright rebooting [04:27] kinja-sheep, what is this your mileage may vary analogy ? === student is now known as andruk [04:27] fivetwentysix: let me know when you're ready to go [04:27] DJ_HaMsTa: Meaning not everything will works for everybody because of different machines. [04:28] fivetwentysix: meanwhile, afk two minutes :) [04:28] brjann: ready [04:28] ah [04:28] got it [04:28] brjann: okay ill go for a smoke [04:28] how can i fix it? lol [04:28] anybody know how to watch veoh w/o wine? [04:28] DJ_HaMsTa: I imagine you should try configuring few things. I used to have a launcher that will push me into standby immediately (rather than idling). I'm trying to find it. [04:29] rsync seems to be transferring the entirety of each file im trying to transfer, instead of transferring the deltas. is this normal? [04:29] thank you [04:29] chd: Google is your friend. Try: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/fix-for-rhythmbox-not-playing-mp3-in-ubuntu-karmic.html or sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras in terminal should also do the trick. [04:29] Still having an issue with an HP F4180 printer, accessing through an SAMBA share from a Windows2000 PC using karmic. Issue: The HP F4100 series driver only causes my printer to spin-up and not actually print when sending a job [probably due to the job not being sent properly and the printer rejecting it]. Any ideas/anything I can do, or is this just compatibility fail? Please help. Thank you. [04:30] Jon-: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:30] Jon-, I've sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras to no avail [04:30] Jon-, I'll check out your link, thanky ou [04:31] !google > Jon- [04:31] Jon-, please see my private message [04:31] how to veoh????? [04:31] DJ_HaMsTa: Try "xset dpms force off" but that should get same result for you though. [04:31] hi all. I have a server install of ubuntu that's been so hacked that i really just want to start over. the thing is, it's a dedicated server and i don't have physical access to it. Getting an IP-KVM would cost money. I basically want to re-install the OS without killing the OS. (I.e. just removing all apps and reverting everything back to 'factory settings' without having to remove the OS.) How can I accomplish this? [04:31] Hey so I had ubuntu karmic installed, and then went ahead with installing windows7 on another harddisk. I am in a livecd right now, how do I restore my grub2 (giving it windows options as well) [04:31] DJ_HaMsTa: Perhaps "xset dpms force off && sleep 3" and don't touch anything for short. You get black screen. [04:32] chd: If you have further issue PM me [04:32] kk [04:32] be back in 4 mins lol [04:32] Kristopher1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [04:32] Kristopher1: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2#Recover%20Grub%202%20via%20LiveCD [04:33] thanks ryanrhee90, rww [04:33] Did Ubuntu just upgrade to Thunderbird 3? [04:33] fivetwentysix: back when you are [04:33] brjann: back [04:34] gantrixx: I don't think so. In Lucid, it will. Also, if it is not, use mozilla's daily ppa for that one. [04:34] brjann: by the way, thank you so much for your support so far, really appreciate it [04:34] Printer issue, please see http://paste.ubuntu.com/386073/ [04:34] fivetwentysix: alright. right click on the (still spinning?) network manager icon and go to Edit Connections [04:34] fivetwentysix: not a problem :) [04:34] My TB2 has gone away [04:34] brjann: okay [04:34] and TB3 is here now [04:34] brjann: add new connection right? [04:34] fivetwentysix: you should be on the Wired tab; is there anything there already? [04:35] brjann: auto ethernet only [04:35] fivetwentysix: okay, that's hopefully the one that used to work. click that and click edit... [04:35] brjann: no i deleted the one that used to work but it didnt have any special settings in it anyways [04:35] I have a 5.1 speaker setup with Ubuntu 9.10. VLC media player doesn't allow me to hear voices no matter what I use, it doesn't output that to any of the speaker channels [04:35] anyone? resetting ubuntu to original settings without killing the OS? :( [04:36] brjann: okay so i clicked edit [04:36] fivetwentysix: ah, okay. so we're editing the only one that was left now, right? [04:36] brjann: yes [04:36] gps shows data under # cat /dev/ttyUSB0 but does not show up in gpsdrive!!?? reasons? [04:36] fivetwentysix: okay. we'll go through the tabs one by one based on what mine currently says :) [04:36] anybody ever figured out how to watch flash movies on veoh.com without resorting to wine? [04:36] ryanrhee90: that would be possible, what part is hacked ... the os or the server datum, also what was it serving [04:36] Anyone know of a music player similar to Amarok 1.4? Amarok2 is crippled, and I can't stand using it. [04:37] fivetwentysix: connect automatically checked, mac is whatever, mtu automatic, available to all users checked [04:37] ryanrhee90: A such thing really does exist? I would imagine it is not. (at least not entirely). [04:37] brjann: next [04:37] mbrigdan: vlc and kmplayer are nice [04:37] brjann: 802.1x security [04:37] GeekSquid, the server is doing a bunch of stuff - DNS, OpenVPN, Apache, mail+imap, LAMP, etc, etc. [04:37] fivetwentysix: you may want to open up a terminal, run ifconfig, and make sure the mac address displayed matched the HWaddr for eth0 [04:38] testing.. anyone see this message? [04:38] mbrigdan: VLC is my favourite, but it lacks some big library + music killer support. Sort of a "just works" media player that has slowly added on features like that. [04:38] brjann: done [04:38] fivetwentysix: okay. 802.1x security unchecked [04:38] brjann: IPv4 settings [04:39] fivetwentysix: method: automatic [04:39] Jon-, VLC is one of my favourite media players too (all my video), but it doesn't have anything in terms of managing my music library, or transferring songs to devices [04:39] can someone help me locate my .htaccess file that is active? I need to change the password and I cant locate it! lol [04:39] ryanrhee90: I'd start by backing up everything ... .. Is this a LTS version? [04:39] brjann: i thought we want to set an ip? [04:39] GeekSquid: the OS actually came with a custom kernel. i didn't realize this until i noticed that openvpn wouldn't load any kernel modules. I changed the kernel to the LTS. Basically, this was my first time using Ubuntu so everything on here isn't quite right. Now that I kind of know my way around, Yes, it is an LTS version [04:39] fivetwentysix: we can, after we've verified the settings and tried dhcp again [04:39] GeekSquid: Also, everything has already been backed up. [04:39] brjann: still doent work [04:39] fivetwentysix: we're not there yet :) [04:40] fivetwentysix: go back into editing that connection, on the ipv4 tab [04:40] slimjimflim, both of those are nice, but not quite what I'm going for. I'm looking for more an iTunes replacement, which Amarok 1.4 did quite well [04:40] brjann: and? [04:40] fivetwentysix: click the routes button at the bottom and ensure that it's empty and the two boxes are unchecked [04:41] brjann: yup [04:41] fivetwentysix: okay, onto the ipv6 tab. should be method: ignore [04:41] ryanrhee90: 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 reinstallation [04:41] I 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] brjann: yup [04:42] fivetwentysix: alright, click apply. [04:42] GeekSquid: 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] brjann: still not working [04:42] fivetwentysix: bummer. alright, static ip then [04:42] Printer issue, please see http://paste.ubuntu.com/386073/ [04:42] hello [04:42] brjann: ok [04:42] fivetwentysix: back to the ipv4 tab [04:42] i need some assistance [04:42] linux newbie [04:43] !ask | Iron_Man [04:43] Iron_Man: 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. :-) [04:43] my laptop battery is not charging for some reason [04:43] fivetwentysix: 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) [04:44] i found a package on that will help me make it work again [04:44] #ubuntu-pa [04:44] noob question. How would I download a zip file from some url in the console? [04:44] but the file is on .ISO [04:44] how do i use an .ISO file [04:44] fivetwentysix: for DNS, if your router can act as a DNS server, put its ip; otherwise, you can use google's public DNS service: 8.8.8.8 [04:44] jmq: wget is one option [04:44] ryanrhee90: 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 go [04:44] arand [04:45] Has anybody gotten kpovmodeler working in 9.04? [04:45] GeekSquid: so when i upgrade to the next LTS, what would happen to the config files? === Commie_Cary is now known as Lenin_Cat [04:45] brjann: google has a dns service? [04:45] Iron_Man: you should be able to right-click, open with, archive mounter. [04:45] fivetwentysix: yep, since december [04:46] brjann: wow, is it me or does it even perform faster than my isp's dns server [04:46] fivetwentysix: search domains you can leave blank [04:46] brjann: itworks btw [04:46] fivetwentysix: probably not you, ISP DNSes are notoriously bad ;) [04:46] fivetwentysix: great! i have no idea what's wrong with DHCP unfortunately [04:47] where does amarok save its podcasts? [04:47] ryanrhee90: 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 everything [04:47] fivetwentysix: but if you're happy with static, i'm happy [04:47] arand, i will try it now, hold on a sec [04:47] GeekSquid: i'd actually want ALL my config files deleted, if possible. that's essentially what i'm going for here :) [04:47] ls -lh /crypt/files; read sent over ssh returns: 192.168.1.3: command not found, any ideas. I was told ; read stops the window from closing so the command shold stat the dir but it doesn't [04:48] gps shows device input under # cat /dev/ttyUSB0 but doesn't show up when running gpsdrive?? reasons? [04:48] Arand, i did it , but how do i use it now [04:48] Iron_Man: what are the contents of it? [04:49] Printer issue, please see http://paste.ubuntu.com/386073/ I've been helping a lot of people on here while waiting haha [04:49] fivetwentysix: it's possible someone in #gnome could help you troubleshoot networkmanager specifically, since it's a gnome project now, if you're interested [04:49] it has a bunch of folders [04:49] ryanrhee90: 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] either way it seems that would not fix my issue [04:50] arand, [04:50] my battery keeps showing a message that is discharging [04:50] but i just bought that battery like a month ago [04:50] GeekSquid: oh yeah, haha, sorry. i meant application config files - as in httpd.conf, or php.ini, etc, etc [04:51] and i was looking for an application that will allow me to test my battery [04:51] * pangolin_rollin Waves hello [04:51] hey yall [04:52] Has anybody gotten kpovmodeler working in 9.04? [04:52] brjann: that's okay, thank you so much [04:52] fivetwentysix: you're welcome :) [04:53] Printer issue, please see http://paste.ubuntu.com/386073/ [04:53] anyone have gps experience? [04:54] brjann: Hey would you know how to overwrite the boot loader for my pc at home, I want to install linux on it since i got 3 harddrives, 2 of which are empty, however it's a dell xps 9000 and I cant seem to be able to boot from cd :-( [04:55] !enter | Iron_Man [04:55] Iron_Man: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! === mod is now known as Guest58151 [04:55] fivetwentysix: and you can't reorder the boot devices in the BIOS setup? [04:55] Iron_Man: If you simply run "gnome-power-statistics" from the alt+F2 prompt you should et some battery info, provided they are detected correctly [04:55] brjann: There is no bios setup [04:56] Could someone tell me if Ubuntu is DEB or rpm based? [04:56] man [04:56] my nutty install went and changed a buncha stuff to crazy language in a crazy font [04:56] ryanrhee90: 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? [04:57] fivetwentysix: There is... no.. BIOS setup? [04:57] fivetwentysix: 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 onscreen [04:57] gilbertthebrain, ubuntu is based on debian... [04:57] gilbertthebrain: deb [04:58] fivetwentysix: similarly i've always been able to get to a boot options prompt by hitting F11 [04:58] thanks [04:58] hrm. 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 etc [04:58] Hey [04:58] where is the /etc/rc.d dir hidden in 9.10? [04:58] Which are the big Linux Oses? [04:58] OSes? [04:58] brjann: Well either it doesn't recognize my keyboard early enough for me to go into the bios menu or it just doesn't have one; I've tried rebooting hundreds of times. [04:59] * pangolin_rollin waves [04:59] brjann: razer arctosa keyboard [04:59] DarkSpirit: http://distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=major [04:59] thanks [04:59] sloopy, /etc/rc* [05:00] fivetwentysix: 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 windows [05:00] dsnyders, yes the 0-6 dir's are there but no rc.d [05:00] GeekSquid: 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] !wubi | fivetwentysix [05:00] fivetwentysix: 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] anyone have an extensive knowledge of either GPS or fingerprint readers? i need help with both [05:00] sloopy, there is no rc.d [05:00] ! [05:01] dsnyders, so where to put stuff that usually goes in it? [05:01] brjann: I don't want to install something where it doesn't give me full hardware support [05:01] brjann: i rather just install it on a VM [05:01] brjann: if that's the case [05:01] 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] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:02] sloopy, It's been a while. What normally goes in rc.d [05:02] lol @ ubottu [05:02] 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 haha [05:02] !lol | fivetwentysix [05:02] fivetwentysix, please see my private message [05:02] I like talking to bots [05:02] dsnyders, yeah its been years since i have had to update my router... i dont play with the low level stuff anymore :'( [05:02] ryanrhee90: 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] Why 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. [05:03] GeekSquid: Purge! okay. i'll do that. thanks! :) [05:03] Jon-: 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. [05:04] 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. [05:05] good luck finding the perfect OS [05:05] Jon-: type /msg ubottu !gender ... you might get a kick out of that ... also http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi is ubottu's database for your enjoyment [05:05] Jon-: Bugs always suck, but there is little avoiding the neither, such is life. [05:05] sloopy, I think the stuff goes in the various rc*.d folders, and possibly the /etc/event.d folder. [05:05] brjann: Can I install wubi and make it use a whole harddrive to itself to increase performance? [05:05] Hi 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? [05:06] 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] dsnyders, only symlinks go into rc*.d [05:06] linucks: editing is done in /etc/default/grub [05:06] fivetwentysix: apparently yes, via LVPM. I've never used wubi or LVPM, though :) http://lubi.sourceforge.net/lvpm.html [05:06] sloopy, so where do the symlinks point? [05:06] 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 OS [05:07] 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 haha [05:07] linucks: use "sudo update-grub" to propagate the to the actual grub.cfg [05:07] dsnyders, to files in /etc/init.d [05:07] arand: ok, where in /etc/default/grub do I add a kernel option? I am new to grub2 [05:07] Does wubi work on Win 7 64bit ? [05:07] dsnyders, which are where the actual startup control scripts reside [05:08] 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] Why would I use Ubuntu firefox addons rather than just installing them directly through firefox? [05:08] sloopy, so I guess that's where your /etc/rc.d files are too. [05:08] arand: would it happen to be GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""? [05:08] jrtayloriv: I think they are the same thing. [05:08] how 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 home [05:09] linucks: 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] Jon- Why does Ubuntu team maintain these packages then? Surely they wouldn't create a package for no reason .... [05:09] axisys: System -> Administration -> Login screen [in there] [05:09] Jon-: I'm having trouble booting from cd [05:09] arand: i8042.nomux=1 [05:09] dsnyders, nope, rc.d was for scripts for simple tasks that were started/stopped/etc by the scripts in /etc/init.d [05:09] fivetwentysix: You the BIOS guy? Tap F2 when computer powers on set CD to boot before hard-drive in boot order [05:10] 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 haha [05:10] linucks: that would go in there yes (what I mentioned) [05:10] Jon-: That's the whole problem [05:10] arand: ok thanks :) [05:10] jrtayloriv: I've used Ubuntu for 1 month. Don't ask me. :P [05:10] much as i hate to admit it, i need help... i haven't configured X in ages but i now find myself needing to use an ubuntu box that is forcing 800x600 resolution on an i915 [05:11] Jon-: thanks [05:11] 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] fivetwentysix: Depending on system everything from Del, F1-F2, F10-F12 is possible ways to get into bios [05:11] fivetwentysix: BIOS setup is usually F1, F2 or DEL. I usually tap all three in rapid succession until it pops up. [05:11] Jon-: ill try when i gethome [05:12] Jon-, looks like you are probly sharing it as a raw device and ubuntu is sending PS pages to it... [05:12] isnt F10 the bios on the newer HP's? [05:12] Jon-, on the win2k machine look at the raw file in the spool and see if it has a PS header or binary data... [05:13] I tend to just bash function keys randomly until the setup screen appears. [05:13] is there a win95 emulator like dosbox? [05:13] rww: hehe [05:13] i'm using Karmic Koala 9.10, and have a Microdia TwinkleCam USB camera that i can't seem to get to operate. Can anyone assist me with this problem? [05:13] sloopy: I can access the drive remotely from here, what path is the spool in generally? [05:13] jrtayloriv: 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] !wine | ja660k [05:13] ja660k: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [05:13] sloopy, on my fedora box, rc.d contains init.d and the various rc*.d folders. On my ubuntu those are all in /etc directly. [05:13] Jon-, i dont know for win2k, on win xp it is... uh give me a sec [05:14] sloopy, what exactly are you after? [05:14] how do I disable `laptop mode' .. it is keep going to suspend mode if the lid is down [05:14] got it! power management [05:14] axisys: You can access power options from System -> Preferences -> Power Management. Change the settings and click the make default [or whatever it is] button [05:14] Jon-: thanks [05:15] haha [05:15] dsnyders, i upgraded my router machine from 8.04 to 9.10, i tried firestarter for the FW but it is sucking up 100% cpu on one of the cores... [05:15] arand, Thanks [05:15] dsnyders, so i am going back to just using a iptables script i made... [05:15] I'm having problems with mdadm and RAID - it seems like it won't write a superblock to my raid devices [05:16] sloopy: you are so much better off using iptables or ufw, firestarter is a memory/cpu hog [05:16] dsnyders, and i am used to sysv init, as it was in the past (i used to use FC back in the day...) [05:16] sloopy, so you want to know where to put the iptables script? [05:16] GeekSquid, yeah i said that ;') [05:16] Hello!! =) [05:16] dsnyders, yeah i just made a rc.d dir in /etc [05:16] !hi | alcala [05:16] alcala: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [05:17] hi === BengtRibba is now known as dennis__ [05:17] sloopy I found C:\WINNT\system32\spool\PRINTERS it contains .SHD and .SPL files. What would you like me to check? [05:17] what the HECK would make the menu font in certain applications different? [05:17] MrPockets: like what application? [05:18] does anybody has any experience on configuring WEBCAM on any msn client?? [05:18] the file menus in OpenOffice Writer, and all the font in VirtualBox [05:18] but like, Evolituon, FF, xChat, all gine [05:18] fine* [05:18] im such a noob, my win7 desktop had the printer attached windows shared(LPT1), on my laptop i goto printers, add under Network choose Windows Samba then input the info to locate the printer.... i cant seem to locate it though. [05:18] Jon-, i dont rem which, use a good text editor and open one and see if there is a PS header in it... [05:18] all system fonts are fine.. === fred_ is now known as Guest58560 [05:18] im on 910 ubuntu [05:19] sloopy vim to the rescue one sec [05:19] Jon-, best thing since sliced bread ;') [05:19] cant seem to reach the printer attached to lpt1 on my windows machine [05:19] hello all can i ask a question [05:19] Guest58560, you just did... [05:19] sloopy, judging from the readme in /etc/init.d, you should put it in /etc/init.d and then run update-rc.d [05:19] fair enough... [05:19] !ask | Guest58560 [05:19] Guest58560: 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. :-) [05:20] spool Hmm, just seems like binaries to me, gedit can't find proper encoding and VIM displays garbage or nothing [05:20] can anybody help me to decide on what webcam I can buy that is compatible with a messenger in ubuntu? [05:20] Has anybody gotten kpovmodeler working in 9.04? [05:20] ok..so just installed ubuntu had free space of 10gb on drive formated it as Fat to store music..rebooted drive not seen data ?gone? [05:21] Guest58560, Is the drive mounted? [05:21] alcala: here's a list of webcams that the Free Software Foundation likes: http://www.fsf.org/resources/hw/cameras [05:21] sloopy Hmm, just seems like binaries to me, gedit can't find proper encoding and VIM displays garbage or nothing [I called you "spool". Ironic fail.] [05:21] and partitions are not mounted automatically which is odd to me [05:21] alcala: look here http://www.murrayc.com/blog/permalink/2008/03/28/webcams-that-just-work-with-ubuntu/ [05:21] dsnyders, no, that isnt the right place for the script... init.d is where the script with the info for update-rc needs is stored... [05:21] brjann thanks [05:22] hmm, is it a known issue that the PowerPC LiveCD is 705 megabytes, and thus too big to fit on a CD? [05:22] alcala: take a look at the link GeekSquid said too :) [05:22] geeksquid thanks [05:22] hi everyone [05:22] Jon-, yeah then win2k is probly sharing it as a raw specific printer as opposed to a generic PS printer... [05:22] OK, so I'm trying to play this dvd I picked up from the redbox, when I put it it it comes up with an autolauncher, and asks me what to do . I select the movie player, and when It attempts to launch it gives and error "no URI handler implemented for "dvd"." [05:23] anyone not to busy or frustrated to help A Ubuntu desktop installation problem ? [05:23] DanaG: please ask that question in #ubuntu-powerpc [05:23] sloopy: AKA, Windows-share only? [as the driver is transmitted to the box when it tries to access it]? [05:24] sloopy: It works with zero-config for XP and 7 [05:24] Jon-, yeah that sounds about right... i am not really sure, as i have been linux (and unix) prodominate for ~15 years... [05:24] Jon-, and i have seen this issue with samba... i know how to fix it in samba but not windows [05:25] sloopy: I'm 20... you make me feel young ^_^. Out of curiosity what's the samba fix? [05:25] #ubuntu-es [05:25] I get a blank screen after ubuntu bootloader? lets me select [05:25] I'm trying to start my raid array with mdadm and I get device or resource busy [05:25] Jon-, samba is the app that runs on linux (and other os's) for sharing things in the MS way... [05:25] lsof shows nothing using either drives / partitions [05:26] sloopy: Oh. I thought it was the name for the actual protocol used by Windows, nevermind. I see the difference now [05:26] Jon-, the protocol is called 'smb' [05:26] hello? testing connection please respond back? [05:26] hello [05:27] pangolin_rollin: working [05:27] Geeksquid: thank you [05:27] sloopy: Yep. I should have known that. I'm very solid on Windows boxes, only have about a month of ubuntu under my belt now. Thanks for the help, I guess I am screwed =/ [05:27] 、 [05:28] Jon-, problem is fixable, i just dont know how... [05:28] Jon-, besides isnt win2k EOL? [05:29] awww bummer all the documentation and searching with no luck [05:29] AgentGreen: Laptop? [05:29] noone knows why i cant mount any of my drives? [05:30] no netbook installled awsome it loaded so well on my eeepc I decided to install on my desktop also not the remix ofcourse but the new 9.10 [05:30] sloopy: Win2k is in "extended" support, no new features are planned but security patches and vulnerabilities are still addressed.. those are dropped in like 2012? [05:30] and i just get a blank screeen and my refresh rate or resolution in my card [05:31] goes nuts [05:31] Jon-, ahhh, i just know someone who was telling me 2003 server is going to be EOL this year, so i figured 2k was well past EOL [05:31] sloopy It's quite an old PC, it really wouldn't run XP without an upgrade. It has the printer attached just out of convinence, no room by the XP box [my main box, this is a laptop] [05:31] WEBCAM configuring is hard? I mean u should pick a compatible one, configure it, and see if u have luck making it work! [05:31] What does TTY stand for, actually? [05:32] theadmin, TeleTYpe [05:32] compiz has broken, when i load it, all the windows go blank i tried to run it in the console but couldnt read an error message [05:32] sloopy: :/ [05:32] hi. when i try to play some mp3s i get this error: "GstMPEGAudioParse: No valid frames found before end of stream" why is that? they were working great on win? [05:32] how do I mount iso's with ubuntu [05:32] hola [05:33] chd: sudo mount -o loop file.iso /mnt [05:33] ubottu, iso | chd [05:33] chd: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [05:33] no idea's anyone ? [05:34] which is the room of Ubuntu in spanish¿? [05:34] xD [05:34] sloopy Oh crappp Windows 2000 extended support ends 13/07/2010. I guess I am hounding my parents to upgrade then, that's sort of critical and I refuse to have an easily compromised box on the network [05:34] !es | issaec [05:34] issaec: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [05:34] AgentGreen: 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 helped [05:34] Jon-, replace 2k with ubuntu [05:34] thank you very much geek squid [05:34] HELLPPP!!!! [05:35] this is from cd boot ? [05:35] sloopy: It's my moms computer [05:35] Jon-, mom can learn ubuntu... [05:35] i uninstalled ubuntu but i cant seem to uninstall GRUB Loader [05:35] AgentGreen: fresh start ... when you get to Loading Grub .. Press esc ... go to the recovery cosole and run the xfix [05:35] i cant boot to my XP machine :( [05:35] 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. [05:36] all i have is cd [05:36] k it switch into text mod [05:36] im at boot : [05:36] Can 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 works [05:36] Jon-, just remember you didnt learn windows in a month, so dont expect to learn ubuntu in a month ;') [05:36] AgentGreen: press esc to get to the grub screen ... go to recovery .. are we getting there [05:36] sloopy, 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=368717 [05:36] trying i think I did it too early [05:37] any of you guys here know how to remove grub loader? [05:37] just went to a boot: promp [05:37] sensae: it might be an ordering thing. It is trying to boot before the raid comes online [05:37] GRUB [05:37] sensae: don't know anything about fixing that though... [05:37] Johny: what are you trying to replace it with? Windows' boot loader? [05:37] dsnyders, yes, startup scripts belong in init.d but this isnt the startup script... [05:37] yeah i want to restore it to the original [05:37] if I press esc from boot loader of cd [05:37] ChogyDan: Well that's lame :/ [05:37] I go to a BOOT: prompt [05:37] I'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] I did it post clicking live [05:37] Johny: Which version of Windows? [05:37] 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 that [05:38] i have windows XP [05:38] got it posting all info [05:38] from loading [05:38] Johny: http://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/292614-how-to-get-back-your-windows-xp-bootloader/ [05:38] so i guess it's gona load me into a prompt ? [05:38] AgentGreen: not the CD ... try without CD ... boot normally .. when you get past the bios screen press ESC [05:38] ahhhh i already did that [05:39] not installed there's only ubuntu 8.10 fastrack 4 and windows xp [05:39] still doing GRUB Loading but it actually wont even go to the menu [05:39] backtrack4 I mean [05:39] Jon-, 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] Johny: For grub2 hold the shift key down and not the esc key [05:40] it would just stay GRUB loading [05:40] AgentGreen: what do you mean not installed ... what did it do? [05:40] 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] genii: that's new .. good to know [05:40] sloopy: I didn't care for Vista at all, it was rushed and just wasn't very good [05:40] I place cd in drive [05:41] I get too the boot loader menu [05:41] I got to install ubuntu [05:41] shows me circle logo [05:41] nope holding down shift doesnt help [05:41] shows me text [05:41] then My screen goes out of rang [05:41] Jon-, yeah i have opinions on both but they would be OT here and discussing here is against the TOS for the channel... [05:42] it's an intel celery 2.0ghz with a nvidia gfx 7600 gt [05:42] sloopy: Whoops. I won't then, thanks =) [05:42] Jon-, np, suprised something hasnt been ssaid already... [05:43] Does anyone know which "fmt" on youtube = 1080p? [05:43] sloopy, This link uses /opt/scripts for an iptables script: http://townx.org/simple_firewall_for_ubuntu_using_iptables [05:43] ubottu: ot | mawst [05:43] mawst: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[05:44] what is the correct way to check what timzone I have set from the command line ? [05:44] anyone know how to completely remove plymouth? Still getting a mountall error message on startup. Using an ssd so i don't need a splash screen. [05:44] is there any software like MAIL CHIMP for ubuntu?? [05:44] Johny: You have an xp CD? [05:45] yeah but i did all that fixboot and fixmdr thing [05:45] hipitihop: date [05:45] and GRUB is still there [05:45] hipitihop: that will show the current time in what the system thinks is your local timezone [05:45] dsnyders, yeah that would be an LSB approved method to doing it... [05:45] brjann, says EST whereas I am GMT+10:00 [05:46] Johny: That shouldn't be the case... You only have one harddisk? [05:46] well when i instlaled ubuntu i had 2 [05:46] 1 for xp and 1 for ubuntu [05:46] brjann, although date and time correct, hence I suspect I never set my timzone properly and just set date/time [05:47] and i just removed the ubuntu hardrive cuz i thought it might help remove the GRUB loading thing [05:47] but it didnt [05:47] hipitihop: this should help :) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTime [05:47] i already uninstalled ubuntu but now i cant boot to xp cuz GRUB would get stuck loading [05:47] cant even get to the GRUB menu [05:49] dsnyders, but either way thanks for the help... [05:49] sloopy, glad to almost help :-) [05:50] WOAH!!!! its fixed [05:50] dsnyders, been using linux for a long time? [05:50] hey ppl; [05:50] hi [05:50] pavucontrol) shows in tabs »Output Devices« and »Input Devices« in in the first line »Internal_Audio_Analog_Stereo«. What does that mean? [05:50] sloopy, at least five years, probably more. [05:50] brjann, strnage I followed dpkg-reconfigure tzdata and it showed the correct settings and shows current local timezone correctly but in local time it shows EST [05:51] are there specific XChat rooms for webcam issues? [05:51] dsnyders, ahh ok... [05:51] Johny: how? [05:51] hipitihop: that's weird. if you click on the clock in your panel, does it show your location correctly? [05:51] AgentGreen: 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 luck [05:51] sloopy, ubuntu sets a lot of stuff on its ear, though. [05:51] i have 9.10 on a cd [05:52] but wont install [05:52] i dont know it just booted agian. i think it was the hardrive that i removed [05:52] fails before install screen boot loader works fine [05:52] AgentGreen: have you checkd the disk for integrity? [05:52] will do but i suspect it'll be fine [05:53] rzx237: yes but you have to set that [05:53] backtrack 4 installed and ran live from cd wich is on ubuntu 8.10 i believe [05:53] Printer issue : http://paste.ubuntu.com/386105/ [now with updated info if you took a look before] [05:53] so i don't see why this installation of ubuntu 9.10 would be problematic [05:53] So I gather nobody has gotten kpovmodeler to work? [05:53] dsnyders, 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... [05:54] brjann, I'm checking the machine remotely via ssh so not simple to bring that up [05:54] I 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] hello guys [05:54] hipitihop: ah, i see. sorry, i actually have to do something else for a little bit :( good luck, though! [05:54] Jru. [05:54] Hey.* [05:55] sloopy, true. It's getting to know the variations and what goes where, especially between distro upgrades, that keeps you on your toes [05:55] 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] soudesuka: becuase wubi runs as a task under windows [05:55] Blue1: LVPM is supposed to move Ubuntu to its own seperate partition [05:55] this is my 6'th day on linux and.. boy... I LOVE THIS ! [05:56] claws well done [05:56] soudesuka: i've not had good luck with that - - but YMMV (your mileage may vary) [05:56] Im loving the ubuntu remix [05:56] claws, congrats [05:56] sloopy, for example, they've changed the xwindows reset from CTRL-ALT-Backspace to ALT-Printscreen-K [05:56] Jon: the reason I did this was because my laptops disc drive is not working... i cant install any thing from a disc [05:56] just not so happy with installer on ubuntu 9.10 desktop [05:57] claws, gj! [05:57] soudesuka: The only way I know how to boot from USB .iso is with GRUB and it's a bit tricky. [05:57] soudesuka: But probably easier than trying to port a Wubi install [05:57] unetboot [05:57] works great for usb.iso boot [05:57] Jon-: not sure I can boot from USB. I'm probably just gonna stick with this the way it is unfortunately... [05:57] it comes in a great linux and windows version [05:57] hey all, i dont remember, how to get fsck to run on the filesystem on reboot... any help? [05:57] just google unet boot [05:58] !info unetbootin [05:58] unetbootin (source: unetbootin): installer of Linux/BSD distributions to a partition or USB drive. In component universe, is optional.

[05:59] tank you [05:59] AgentGreen: backtrack is a dirivitave version that doesn't use the nvidia drivers, I had had problems with 8.10 with nvidia .. I know 8.04 works with nvidia, as does 9.04 .. 8.10 is almost to end of life, where as 8.04 still has a year of support, I digress, but really I'd keep trying ... I have one other option ... in your out of sync press CTRL-ALT-F1 to see if you get into a terminal ... if so login and run sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [05:59] de nada [05:59] brjann, np, thanks for assist [05:59] soudesuka: At least take a look at http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=23052 and see if you are successful. If your laptop can boot from USB, this is your best option [05:59] claws, cant know what good is unless you know what bad is... think of those years as a learning exp... [05:59] * Blue1 wishes he knew more spanish [05:59] sloopy, when you have handicap assist on and hold alt it toggles on. If you then press ctrl-backspace to delete a word, you restart X with no opportunity to save your work. [06:00] claws: Linux is free, but only to those who consider their time worthless. [06:00] whn it's out of sink I can't ctrl alt f1 to get a terminal [06:00] but il try again to make sure [06:00] what is the easiest way to make one of my keys do what another would? at some point ubuntu decided that my right alt key isn't an alt key, and I want it to be. [06:00] sloopy, apparently it was happening quite a bit. [06:00] Printer issue : http://paste.ubuntu.com/386105/ [now with updated info if you took a look before] [06:00] claws, welcome though, you will learn that computers as you knew it, are much more powerful than you were aware. [06:00] sloppy: i see that now :) [06:00] dsnyders, that that soounds like a party in a keystroke :') [06:00] halllooww [06:01] Jon-: I ran into a similar problem with my hp printer - turned out the printer psc 1310 is NOT a network printer [06:01] sloopy, I think there are other ALT-Printscreen keystrokes beyond Alt-Printscreen-K to kill x. [06:02] knoppies: i am already beginning to notice :) [06:02] hey all, i dont remember, how to get fsck to run on the filesystem on reboot... any help? [06:02] no luck Geek Squid [06:02] :( === tek is now known as Guest3714 [06:02] Blue1: I don't imagine it is... I have it hooked up to a Windows PC via USB, the printer shared using Windows 2000 smb. Windows XP and Windows 7 connect and use it fine once pointed in the right direction and given authentication, Ubuntu fails. Any ideas? [06:02] claws, what took you so long? :) [06:02] * AgentGreen cries [06:03] dsnyders, 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 /nostalgia [06:03] 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] [06:04] skeet: i hate my self for that :P [06:04] Jon-: private message ok? [06:04] claws, i feel ya pain! [06:05] skeet: i got a lot of reading left though :) [06:05] sloopy, I just found a list. The keystroke is called a Magic Sysrq. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [06:06] same here claws!! [06:07] Help, i added "alias apache='sudo /home/r00t/httpd/bin/apachectl'", to .bashrc, yet whenever i try "apachestart" it seems to skip the sudo part [06:07] "apache start", i mean [06:07] 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... [06:07] ssmy: your right alt is technically AltGr in ubuntu ... you will need to learn to use xmodmap to remap those keys ... see here http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/karmic/man1/xmodmap.1.html [06:08] Well, goodnight all! [06:08] In chrome and firefox on every SSL/HTTPS site I go to I always get an untrusted connection warning and I need to manually add the certificate. Does anyone have info about this? [06:08] dsnyders, but that hasnt been enabled on standard kernels for years IIRC [06:08] lol my screen saver was kicking in on remix [06:08] and I thought I was blacking out or going blind lol [06:08] Trizicus: is your time/date/year set correctly? just a thought [06:09] GeekSquid: yes [06:09] I am having a hard time CONFIGURING evolution with GMAIL!! can anybody help me [06:09] I'm going crazy getting awstats to work. It gathers stats into /var/lib/awstats but the web page won't list them. I would like to give up on it and use something else. What do you use for web stats? [06:10] GeekSquid: How do I find out if I have a proxy setup with networkmanager? [06:10] acala download thunderbird, ti is better [06:10] GeekSquid: well, it's showing as ISO_Level3_Shift in xev. I was wondering if there was anything newer than xmodmap. guess not. [06:11] Trizicus: ask globally , not my bag [06:11] pavucontrol) shows in tabs »Output Devices« and »Input Devices« in in the first line »Internal_Audio_Analog_Stereo«. What does that mean? [06:11] geek squid is there anyone i can call tommorow ? [06:11] sloopy, odd. Perhaps it's only alt-sysrq-k being implemented. [06:12] Hello, I'm trying to run psybnc, but it says it can't create a listening port. [06:12] i'm not running as root. [06:12] what could be the problem? [06:12] ssmy: you could use system>preferences>Keyboard Shortcuts and remap the keys you need to make whatever function you need [06:13] Okay, help me out here. I have a script to start the Apache daemon in /etc/init.d, yet it ain't started now (just booted) [06:13] AgentGreen: see my pm [06:13] GeekSquid: that doesn't remap a key though, just assign it to a command.

[06:28] sloopy, Well, they got moved there after I screwed up and did a fsck [06:28] :( [06:28] this might be a silly question but is a ssh signing key different to a gnupg signing key [06:28] becker_11: yes [06:28] rww: that explains my frustration with uploading my key to github [06:28] RPG-Master, honestly if fsck put them there then they are likely to be corrupted... [06:29] becker_11: which one do you want to make? I can link you to guides for either... [06:29] rastasean, im not too sure, did you install it from apt? [06:29] sloopy, I thought so too, until I found a few folder completely in tact.

[06:39] thanks guys! [06:39] what is MITM? [06:39] patrick_____: I was just thinking there might be a cron job way to do it say if you needed shutdown at the same time everyday but someelse would have to help with that so far I haven't used cron [06:39] slowz,... :( [06:39] man in the middle [06:39] poop [06:39] patrick_____: it probablly does more cause we all know the comamndline rules! :-) [06:39] so i have windows 7 release candidate on my computer(with ubuntu installed from wubi). the release candidate is expiring toinght so if i install a new version of windows 7 will it mess up my linux install? [06:40] dandaman: yes [06:40] dandaman: next time don't use wubi [06:40] 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 help [06:40] blakkheim: so im going to lose everything? [06:40] becker_11, hehe, thanks -- although there's another commandline program I know *not* to use called "halt" :P [06:40] RPG-Master: DO you have any idea as to the cause? I had the whole root fs dumped into lost+found once and I suspect a couple of powerlosses on ext4 might be the cause... [06:40] dandaman: yeah [06:40] blakkheim: DAMNIT [06:40] blakkheim: maybe just install the new windows on another partition? [06:40] dandaman: if you would have done a real installation on a partition you wouldn't [06:41] patrick_____: shame though - less typing [06:41] arand, yep power loss :( [06:41] arand, Though this is an external HDD [06:41] dandaman, You can save / transfer your Ubuntu install / data [06:41] Jordan_U: can you talk me through how to do that? [06:41] pavucontrol shows in tabs »Output Devices« and »Input Devices« in in the first line »Internal_Audio_Analog_Stereo«. What does that mean? [06:41] dandaman: Can you start up Ubuntu and copy the important stuff ov er to external USB drive [06:41] can a printer using hplip be networked (using samba) between linux and windows? [06:42] so people is there a way to use cron to schedule shutdown of a linux box at the same time everynight ?? [06:42] dj_segfault1: yeah [06:42] RPG-Master: Is this on karmic? (Mine happened on jaunty..) [06:42] dandaman, I've never used wubi myself but I think so. Do you just want the data or the whole install? [06:42] dj_segfault1: but i dont want to lose all of my installs and settings [06:42] arand, Karmic [06:42] like i have some programs installed that i dont want to lose :\ [06:42] Last call before I go to bed: 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? [06:42] becker_11: I haven't tried shutting down from cron, but I can't think why it wouldn't work. [06:43] arand: WAIT! I did this screw up through a Parted Magic CD [06:43] But I fixing it through my Karmic laptop [06:43] *I'm [06:43] I'm just going to do sudo shutdown -- that's probably good enough :) [06:43] I was wondering if I could ask a mod_rewrite question [06:43] dj_segfault1: yeah I've never used cron myself but thought it might provide the answer for patrick_____ [06:43] RewriteRule ^/something$ http://hostname:8080/something/$1 [P] [06:43] dandaman: 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 does [06:43] I am trying to set the above and it doesn't seem to be taking, but I am not sure what I am missing [06:43] !clone | dandaman [06:43] dandaman: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [06:44] muaddib, your name sounds familiar -- is that from Dune? [06:44] Jordan_U: Thanks [06:44] awesome, thanks [06:44] patrick______ yes [06:44] dj_segfault1, You're welcome. [06:44] arand, So how did you handle it? [06:44] * becker_11 on windows I hated doing updates from the MS update site, on linux I get sad when I run apt-get update, apt-get upgrade and there's nothing to install lol [06:44] patrick_____: If you put it in root's crontab then you don't need the sudo part. [06:45] dj_segfault1, cool, thanks for the tip! [06:45] dandaman, the other thing you can do is copy your /home directory to usb, most of your application settings are within that folder. [06:45] can anybody pls help me out? [06:45] patrick_____: What time do you want to shut down the box [06:45] Quick 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 options [06:45] Rebelstar: don't ask to ask just ask your question [06:45] like for pidgin all your config settings etc is in /home/.purple [06:46] becker_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 help [06:46] 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] Everything else is fine [06:46] RPG-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] dandaman, 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 ) [06:47] im confused... Ubuntu has System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager and then, Applicatioins -> Ubuntu Software Center whats the difference, just personal preference? [06:47] Rebelstar: that ones above me I'm sorry I haven't used compiz ... can you get to a shell at all? [06:47] arand, I guess I'm just going to trudge through the mess then :/ [06:47] 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] The driver is the f4100 series driver*** [06:47] patrick_____: 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] backer_11: in recovery mode i can but i do not know the right commands to solve [06:47] Itadakimasu: Pretty much. Software Center is newer and more focused towards new users. [06:47] Itadakimasu: ma and pa will find software center easier snyaptic is more fiddly [06:48] 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] alright thank you =o) [06:48] I'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 found [06:48] anyone recognize this? http://dwarfurl.com/15bac [06:48] it started popping up all of a sudden [06:48] Itadakimasu: Software Center is dumbed down and only includes the common stuff. So both do the same thing but Software Center gives you fewer choices. [06:49] cyberbluntz: assuming that you're trying to play DVDs on it (it's a general movie player...), https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs [06:49] Rebelstar: 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 [06:49] Rebelstar: and edit the file in nano [06:49] RPG-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 interested [06:50] backer_11:ok thanks i l try it out [06:50] fudgey_muffins: That link is inappropriate for Ubuntu channels. Please don't paste it here. [06:50] ive installed the libdvdcss2 already [06:50] dandaman, For moving to an Ubuntu install on its own partition: http://lubi.sourceforge.net/lvpm.html [06:50] hi i was installed anon-proxy in ubuntu 9.10 ,but i can't connect with other server alone one.HELP [06:50] arand, I know about photorec... but it don't recognize some files I had :( [06:50] patrick_____: "at" is designed to do things in the future, like "echo 'shutdown -h now' | at now + 45 minutes [06:50] anyone familiar with mod_rewrite proxy [06:51] Rebelstar: 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 first === becker_11 is now known as becker_11_away [06:52] running ubuntu 9.10 laptop froze and when i rebooted my tomboy notes are missing. But I can create new tomboy notes [06:54] 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] azi_: Why not call mplayer directly? Or gmplayer [06:54] Quick 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 options [06:54] from terminal? [06:54] i am looking for software to control a windows machine on home xp from ubuntu 9.10. any ideas? [06:54] dj_segfault1: i use totem as my default media player for whatever that may be [06:55] rastasean, you could just use VNC [06:55] azi_: Yes. Well if totem isn't working the way you want it to, use something that will ;) [06:55] matt, unless i am configuring something wrong, vnc has not worked [06:55] rastasean, whats happening? (it can be a pain in the butt the first few times to setup) [06:56] lindzeyn: I would rename (NOT delete) the .gnome, .gnome2, etc directories in your home directory and restart. A config must be broken. [06:56] I guess Ill have to try a diff player [06:56] matt, well which app should i try out? i have tried terminal server client, remote desktop, remote desktop view, krfb, gnome-rpd [06:56] dj_segfault1: just rename them to something arbitrary [06:56] ? [06:57] azi_: That's why we have 20 programs that can do the same thing under Linux. Everyone wants something different. [06:57] rastasean, 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 server [06:57] lindzeyn: Yes, or move them to another directory temporarily. Either way [06:57] rastasean, UltraVNC is a great one for windows, pretty easy to setup [06:58] matt, i install ultravnc on windows to be able to control from linux? [06:58] rastasean, 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 wish [06:58] lindzeyn: 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. === becker_11_away is now known as becker_11 [06:59] rastasean, generally the port forwarding is the hardest part :X [06:59] matt, lovely. :) [07:00] rww: 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] rastasean: 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) [07:01] dj_ could you tell me about ssh-x [07:01] becker_11: no idea. I've never used github :( [07:01] rww: okay guess I'll just leave it running then === jastor is now known as _jastor === _jastor is now known as _jastor_ [07:05] mount-ntfs-3g or whatever eats up to 12% cpu [07:05] THat can't be right can it? [07:05] rastasean: 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. === _jastor_ is now known as jastor [07:06] dj_excellent! but ssh isn't even enabled on the windows [07:06] rastasean: 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 variable [07:06] 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) will [07:06] 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. Forwarding [07:06] of X11 connections can be configured on the command line or in configuration files [07:06] dj_segfault1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:07] Oops sorry about the flood. Didn't see the linefeeds [07:07] Ouch. Am I back on? rastasean can you see this? [07:07] How to determine the current grub2 version? [07:07] dj_segfault1: yes, you are [07:07] dj, yep [07:07] nice and red [07:09] :-) [07:09] hello [07:09] rastasean: (I've been a bad boy!) Oh so you want to access a Windows machine. I guess you could still do it if you ran something like cygwin, but it's probably not your best option. [07:10] dj, yeah, i found this cygwin but enableing ssh/telnet on windows seems like a pain [07:10] All my music has cover art embedded in the id3 tag. Is there a way for me to set up exaile or rhythmbox to automatically load this art? [07:10] enabling* [07:10] rastasean: Given that, I probably missed enough of your thread that I may not be of much help. But what are you trying to run under Windows from your Linux box> [07:11] sensae: I know banshee does that really well. Not sure about rhythmbox. [07:11] i just want to be able to control it from linux. thats all [07:12] dj_segfault1: Does banshee have support for old iPods? With real syncing? [07:12] rastasean: what do you mean control it? What do you want to be able to do? [07:12] open applications from windows from linux [07:12] This is a little out there, but has anyone used ntfs-resize to shrink an ntfs partition, make an ext4 partition in the remaining space, and slowly move the files from the ntfs to the ext4 and repeating the process to in effect convert to ext4? :D [07:13] rdp/vnc [07:13] sensae: 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] Can ext4 be resized without data loss? [07:13] rastasean: and what isn't working about rdesktop, which is designed to do that? [07:13] rastasean, i just thought about something. yeah just use RDP to connect to windows it will be wayyyy faster than VNC [07:14] maybe the service is not open on windows but it never connects [07:14] rastasean, what version of windows is it? [07:14] xp home [07:14] mawst: What release of Ubuntu? Even 9.04 had dodgy ext4 support [07:14] rastasean, its not enabled by design.. ahem.. it can be done though. === garuda is now known as nikhil_ [07:15] 9.10 [07:15] right-click my computer > remote desktop. check mark is checked [07:16] rastasean, fireup tsclient and then use the RDP protocol to connect, might require a forward in your router to point to that machine, i think its 3389 [07:16] OK so I still cant get a dvd player to work, I tried all the steps here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs#Troubleshooting including the chmod 660, which gave me an error: tek@tek:~$ sudo chmod 660 /dev/sr0; chgrp cdrom /dev/sr0 [07:16] chgrp: changing group of `/dev/sr0': Operation not permitted [07:16] cyberbluntz: Did you run chgrp as you, or using sudo, or as root? You probably can't do it with just your login. [07:17] I typed sudo as u can see above [07:17] tsclient is terminal server client, right? [07:18] rastasean, yea [07:18] cyberbluntz: Nope. That command will use sudo for the chmod, but not the chgrp. Put sudo before chgrp too [07:18] rastasean: Yes. [07:18] oic [07:19] hey, is it possible to convert my Java program (.jar) to a binary (.bin)? [07:19] cyberbluntz: If you put quotes around the two commands I think sudo would have handled them both [07:19] paddymelon: I think there are commercial programs to do that, but what exactly are you hoping to accomplish? === Matteo is now known as Guest67293 [07:20] is there available driver for Xerox document center 286 on ubuntu 9.04? please give me solution [07:20] dj_segfault1, I have a shell that doesn't support Java but, does support .bin, since I'm a Java programmer, thought converting to a bin would be good? [07:20] thankl [07:21] paddymelon: what most people do is make a one-line shell script that calls it. Or use Java Web Start. [07:22] sudo "chmod 660 /dev/sr0"; "chgrp cdrom /dev/sr0" [07:22] ? [07:22] paddymelon: What you you mean by a .bin [07:22] dj_segfault1, but Java is not installed, this is a server [07:22] kind of like xhtml [07:22] dj_segfault1 a binary file, eg. that in /usr/bin [07:22] paddymelon: That will never work. You have to install java. [07:22] dj_segfault1, OK [07:22] nah, doesnt work [07:23] cyberbluntz: sudo "chmod 660 /dev/sr0 ; chgrp cdrom /dev/sr0" [07:23] paddymelon: You can install it anywhere, including your home directory if you don't have root, but at least the runtime (JRE) has to be on there. [07:24] sudo: chmod 660 /dev/sr0 ; chgrp cdrom /dev/sr0: command not found [07:24] What program do you you to produce web-based apache stats (visitors, popular pages, etc)? I've tried for about two hours to get awstats working [07:25] nvm [07:25] hello, can someone help with this: fetchmail: no mailservers have been specified. [07:25] cyberbluntz: Ah, right. You'll have to sudo: chmod 660 /dev/sr0 ; sudo chgrp cdrom /dev/sr0 [07:26] chmod: changing permissions of `/dev/sr0': Operation not permitted [07:26] is the some variable i need to change in the command? [07:27] cyberbluntz: the dev list is filled everytime you boot, it is futile to change permissions that way; you should edit your fstab file [07:27] Hello, I'm having some difficulties with my partition table. It says "Can't create more than 4 primary partitions" in gparted. I googled this and I'm afraid to do anything because I don't want to break anything. [07:27] halp usb not mounting!! read forums they suggested a kde file manager called dolphin... will this run on 9.10 karmic netbook remix??? do I have to get Kde to install dolphin? [07:27] Anyone know of a way to automatically give PPA packages a lower priority? I've tried "Pin: release o=LP-PPA-*" but this doesn't work... [07:27] Hola, does anyone know what package Ubuntu used for Pidgin integration on the User menu in 8.10? Does 9.10 still do it? [07:27] dj_sefault1, Just got told by admins that, uses too many resources... [07:27] cyberbluntz: Ferreal? You put in the sudo twice like that and it didn't work? Maybe because it's a device special file instead of a real file you can't do that. [07:27] plz refer to this page. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs#Troubleshooting [07:27] so, a .bin would be nice [07:27] dj_segfault, what are those commercial tools? [07:28] dj_segfault1: Wow, banshee is pretty nice. Does it automatically watch the folders you add? [07:28] im having problems installing [07:28] hey guys. i've got a windows maching w/out a monitor that i want to put ubunty onto, is there any way to get it on there without attaching a monitor? [07:28] sensae: I think so but I usually tell it to rescan manually since I keep mine on external USB drive === lance_ is now known as Guest83947 [07:29] wished my usb drive would mount:( [07:29] paddymelon: Don't know offhand. But just the JRE isn't very big (that's the runtime engine without the compiler, etc.) [07:29] anyone know why the install disk for 9.10 would cause a gpu crash or how to get around it? [07:29] Boots32M: I don't know why you would need Dolphin to mount a USB disk [07:29] <<< federman, which gpu are you using [07:30] I don't know either:) [07:30] vizru: did someone help you yet? [07:30] sensae, rhythmbox also does, and so does banshee yes [07:30] thats what it said in forums, I just want my usb to mount [07:30] Boots32M: 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 listed [07:30] well i assume that's what it is. i get a horizontal bar that looks liek noise after selecting any option from the install cd [07:30] dj_segfault1: no, I'm wondering if I can put my windows partition in an extended partition without breaking it [07:30] and ive tried several cds, so it isnt the particular disk [07:31] Boots32M, a usb hard disk? unplug it, then plug it in again and in a terminal type dmesg | tail [07:31] Boots32M: 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] dj_segfault1: will it still boot, normally? [07:31] Pizik, Did that and it didn't register as there. then I turned udev on and off and that didnt' work [07:31] Boots32M: then do as indus said ;o) [07:31] I 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? [07:32] vizru: 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] bullgard, well, remove it from the /etc/default/grub file [07:32] indus, dj_Seg will do.... brb [07:32] does anyone know what package Ubuntu used for Pidgin integration on the User menu in 8.10? Does 9.10 still do it? [07:32] all will be in pastebin will return soon [07:32] dj_segfault1: so swap and a mass storage partition can be in extended, but my "/" must be in it's own primary partition? [07:33] any experts on gps or fingerprint readers in ubuntu here? [07:33] indus, usb thumb drive [07:33] Boots32M, pen drive ? [07:33] yes indus [07:33] Pizik: pidgin-libnotify? [07:33] Boots32M, what brand is it? try a different usb port. at the back, not the front [07:33] I 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] dj_segfault1: asking me or telling me? ;o) [07:34] vizru: Boot, not root. Not necessarily the same thing. but probably the same thing in your case. [07:34] dj_segfault1: if it doesn't have the boot flag, can it still be boot? Sorry for so many questions [07:34] quit nooo help [07:35] Pizik: 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 want [07:35] ok I got the command to work and I'm still seeing this same error No URI handler implemented for "dvd". [07:35] vizru: I don't remember if that's still used or not. [07:35] cyberbluntz, use vlc to play it or mplayer [07:35] dj_segfault1: Thank you for the help [07:35] dj_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. [07:36] Ive tried real player already [07:37] indus: 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] Pizik, i thought that was at the top now, where your user name is shown in 9.10 [07:37] Pizik: 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) [07:38] vizru: NP. Gotta check off soon though. 2:40am here. [07:38] Thank you, I shall look for it [07:38] bullgard, remove teh parameters only [07:38] indus: Thank you for advising. [07:39] Mplayer is giving me a fatal error: Error opening/initializing the selected video_out(-vo) device. [07:39] dj_segfault1: awesome, exactly what I wanted. Installing now. ty and good bye [07:39] cyberbluntz, what file is this ? [07:40] Pizik: Use it for good, not evil! [07:40] a dvd from redbox [07:41] any explanation? [07:41] dj_segfault1, indus, pluged that drive in every port then did the comparative pasting for paste bin: http://pastebin.com/zE88na9V === devunt_ is now known as devunt [07:41] Boots32M, what does lsusb say [07:42] Oh umm says the drive doesn't exist [07:42] is my only solution atm to go use windows to watch it? :( [07:42] guis [07:42] but I see it and its right there... I swear!!:) [07:42] Boots32M: Those lines are about your keyboard. Nothing in there about devices? Maybe you need to wait longer. I did see a udev line at the end === NCommander_ is now known as NCommander [07:42] kk will do again and wait longer [07:42] brb [07:42] Boots32M, can you paste lsusb also [07:43] sure [07:43] is there a fix for ubuntu being crappy while playing in hulu at full screen ? [07:43] ergergerg, thats flash being crappy === NCommander is now known as Guest88162 [07:43] indus, im not going into a blaming fight i just want to fix it === Guest88162 is now known as NCommmander [07:43] indus: I did as you advised and rebooted. I cannot discern any difference. Still, there are no boot-up messages appearing. [07:44] ловите суки [07:44] bullgard, i didnt advice to reboot [07:44] really?? [07:44] ergergerg, you cant fix it, try using google chrome [07:44] wooow [07:44] cyberbluntz: How about a windows VM instance on your linux box? [07:45] bullgard, what brand of pen dri ve is it? does it work on windows [07:45] I already have the vice versa [07:45] triple boot [07:45] приивет [07:45] no point really [07:45] как дела?

[07:46] bullgard, try removing the lines from grub then [07:47] /s/splash/slash sorry [07:47] bullgard, ok sorry you need to run update-grub [07:47] bullgard, after any grub edits run update-grub [07:47] Or should I make a fat32 and put em there?

Although I can tell the live cd hasnt crashed or anything. Any ideas? [08:10] I hope that they dont change how 10.4 looks compared to the others [08:10] good luck... if that doesn't work download the manual and look at the troubleshooting section:) [08:10] sometimes it will happen after 20 seconds of using the live cd,sometimes after 4 minutes [08:10] Like with 8.04 it had a bunch of issues especially with pulse [08:11] I'm having a problem when I drag a file to the desktop or another folder it disappears, I have to use f5 to do a refresh to be able to see it. Any idea on what's going on here? I've already trashed my gnome config files and the Nautilus ones. [08:11] zeb you gotta restart your computer too in the whole process [08:11] natethegreat1419, it looks very similar [08:11] Does it? [08:12] natethegreat1419, I've been running it since Friday because it's the only distro that works with the gpu integrated into the core i5 processor on my new laptop [08:12] Nice.... I would like to have a better processor in the computers I use [08:12] yeah, it's SWEET [08:12] everything responds almost instantly [08:13] there's really no lag in the desktop experience [08:13] I bet it does. That would be perfect for me usin AVIdemux and such [08:13] yeah, transcoding video is definitely faster [08:14] I've already tried some [08:14] I bet it is [08:14] Hey guys, anyone know how to change the default login status with Pidgin? I'd like to login by default to invisible (MSN) if possible... [08:14] LOL [08:14] will ubuntu 10.04 upgrade when gnome 3.0 realease? [08:14] chu_, you're still using pidgin? [08:14] 10.04 won't have gnome 3.0 [08:14] Yes, yes I am solid_liquid [08:15] Boots32M: seemed to work, now how would i go about opening the connection [08:15] chu_, have you tried Epiphany yet? [08:15] so that i dont have to type a password anymore [08:15] chu_, it's the new default IM client for 10.04 [08:15] solid_liquid: briefly, but I wasn't a fan. [08:15] Yeah, it was default for karmic too [08:15] hmm [08:15] solid_liquid: for 9.10 you mean [08:15] Well you can use mac address security... [08:15] do you know how to do that? [08:15] sash_, I never used 9.10. I like LTS releases, so I'm still running 8.04 on my desktop [08:16] You probably mean empathy LOL [08:16] lol okay yeah [08:16] will ubuntu 10.04 upgrade when gnome 3.0 realease? [08:16] and this ;) [08:16] Oh well, I understood what he meant. [08:16] like I said, I just installed this version on Friday [08:16] klxklx, no [08:16] klxklx: No, 10.04 won't have gnome 3 [08:16] klxklx: Highly unlikely [08:17] I am talking to someone that has a 5.04 machine still running [08:17] Actually, empathy is still installed, I'll have a look at it. [08:17] zebastian_, are you using your hard line or wireless from your cisco router? [08:17] Hey! I am in a bit of a trouble. I changed some code in 2 files and saved em by the old name! Is there a way to recover the old files? I edited them in gedit =( [08:18] How do I change anything with Empathy? [08:18] Boots32M: what you recommended worked, i am on the wireless from the cisco router [08:19] ok well you need to log into your router and either make yours an open connection, or use mac address security in order to not use a password anymore... [08:19] titan-ark look for a back-up file looking for a ~ in the name [08:20] Boots32M: how do i log into my router from ubuntu? i am sorry for my ignorance but when i installed the thing i was on windows and it was pretty much click on a gui cd-rom [08:20] Wow, invisible buttons ftw! [08:20] natethegreat1419, i do see 2 files with the same name with a trailing ~, how do i recover them? [08:20] I don't think you can log on from ubuntu.. wait lemme check real quick [08:20] heh [08:21] zebastian_, use your web browser to surf to 192.168.1.1 [08:21] Open them back up like that [08:21] zebastian_, or perhaps 192.168.2.1 [08:21] zebastian_, what exactly are you trying to do? just get into its default IP depending on the brand [08:21] zebastian_, look at your computer's IP address to determine what the second to last digit is [08:22] Hi all I have a continual problem with installing java. [08:22] natethegreat1419, i am a noob in linux, could you tell me how exactly? I do not want to damage it trying to open without doing it right, [08:22] someone that knows if theres a taskbar/desktop widget or something that enables/disables X systems default system quickkeys? dont like the whole "take precedence over quickkeys you intend to send to the terminal window, so theyre sent to Gnome/KDE instead" [08:22] Well I can't log on to mine from ubuntu... but maybe thats because I'm wireless.. I would probably have to hardwire my computer into the cicso router to log into it... [08:22] getting the exec 48 java not found [08:22] and java problems with azureus [08:22] zebastian_: try firefox,url http://192.168.1.1/ skip userfield, password field default admin iirc [08:23] copy and paste to another location and then opening it there so you dont mess with another file [08:23] natethegreat1419, cool will try iy [08:23] let me know if it works [08:23] nomad77, that's actually very much dependent on the brand of router, and in some cases, the specific model from that brand [08:23] hi [08:23] again [08:23] :D [08:23] is there a way to totally remove java from my machine? [08:24] Dont know if this is the right place. Anyone knows where i can fin rar archiver GUI ? [08:24] solid_liquid: i have linksys also. but figured it might be same [08:24] seems an old bug is back btw :P ... did some updating earlier and: mplayer: undefined symbol: codec_wav_tabs [08:24] nomad77, it varies a lot, even from one linksys to another [08:24] I got a motorola guess what the default password is:) [08:25] solid_liquid: noted but he didn't check linksys site/manual,etc. [08:25] try this http://www.routerpasswords.com/ === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz [08:25] there we go:) [08:25] @Boots hmm you mean cellphone or router? [08:25] ll [08:25] tags* [08:25] i didn't know motorolla made routers [08:25] I've seen admin/admin admin/pass administrator/pass administrator/password pass/pass admin/[blank] etc [08:25] router:) [08:25] they actually do [08:26] are they any good? [08:26] yeah, and they make cablemodems too [08:26] don't they make cable modems too [08:26] ha [08:26] my motorola cablemodem is rocks solid :D [08:26] is there an echo in here [08:26] *rock [08:26] in her [08:26] in here [08:26] lol [08:26] here [08:26] Boots32M: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:26] I've always thought that motorolla was a cellphone-only company because I've only heard of motorolla cellphones and nothing else [08:26] echo off [08:26] Boots32M, in her... ? I don't think I'll go there ;) [08:26] :) [08:27] allen, did you not know that they're more of a chipmaker than anything else? [08:27] but hey does anyone know how to fix my little java prob? [08:27] hi, what is the equivalent of tracker (file indexing) for karmic? [08:27] although they created the "Freescale Semiconductor" name now for their chip making child company [08:28] hexdump can't you just add/remove java? I'm an ubunut noob so I'm just guessing [08:28] natethegreat1419, it worked! thanks a bunch! [08:28] allen: nope tried it [08:28] Awesome I will tell the person that gave me the answer that is worked glad to hear [08:28] uninstalled it, removed directories installed java5 then updated to 6 to try to get it work and nothing [08:28] It must be a problem with the path [08:29] you know there's a calculator out there that I got recently that installs java so it can run on that.. even gave the java its own icon... [08:29] what about environmental variables? [08:29] allen, too many things depend on java I think [08:29] natethegreat1419, :) thank you and your friend! saved my old code and all info! I wouldve been in deep sh** [08:29] anyone know a chat channel for electronic frontier foundation? (off hand) [08:29] no prob man glad to help [08:30] lol for the deep shit comment [08:30] allen, :D [08:30] ubottu: language [08:30] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [08:30] yeah this is started to annoy me [08:30] i almost lost my code i was working on for quite some time [08:30] Boots32M, the TI NSpire? [08:30] this freakin java.

[08:31] I'm trying to launch ps3 media server on startup so all I have to do is turn on my old crap computer then turn on my ps3 and bingo [08:31] allen, verilog code [08:31] solid_liquid, egors graphing calculator... got it and installed it from a link in ubuntu forums [08:31] tomatoes7__: yes [08:31] tomatoes7__, of course [08:31] I do have the TI emulator though [08:31] run it through wine [08:31] i don't like kids [08:31] Boots32M, oh, a software one, not a hardware one lol [08:32] if i was moderating this channel, i would .... [08:32] sorry, i'll stop being trollish [08:32] is there a way I can append the system date in a txt file via terminal? i would then like to add it in a cronjob [08:32] why does tracker not supported anymore? [08:33] titan_ark, yeah, use the 'date' command [08:33] I'm installing the damn thing again. trial and error I guess. [08:33] titan_ark, look at the manpage for it to see how to format the output from it the way you want [08:33] solid_liquid, just "date >> " [08:33] solid_liquid, ah okay [08:33] titan_ark, yeah, but you might want to format it [08:34] solid_liquid, hmm yeah thanks :) i want to append the date to the log file everytime i do a backup via a cronjob [08:35] hey I think I'm doing this wrong but I can't get the msg command to work. is it like so? /msg username message ? [08:35] I just click on their name LOL [08:36] what client do you use? [08:36] titan_ark, there's a command to do just about everything in Linux ;) [08:36] I can't click on the name since I'm using irssi and am in the shell [08:36] solid_liquid, yes that is why i try everyday to learn more and quit windows! [08:36] please mr ubuntu man can I have my usb stick mounting capability back???? [08:36] pardon my noob question, how do i also add a new line in the txt file :P [08:37] \n [08:37] ? [08:37] allen: yes, it's /msg username message === nand_ is now known as nand [08:37] titan_ark, :D have you learned grep, sed, awk, rsync, ssh, scp, lsof and what's hidden in /proc and /sys yet? [08:38] solid_liquid, :D nope a total noob, no unix programming background at all! [08:38] allen: if you're not getting my replies to your PM, they're probably in another window (there should be a highlighted "Act:" number in your bottom statusbar) [08:38] pls, can anyone help, i get this message when tryin to update - W: GPG error: http://ng.archive.ubuntu.com karmic Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key [08:38] where can i find a good tutorial for setting up wine?

[08:41] maybe is there another way to install? [08:41] <20QAABM2D> wat [08:41] if somebody knows the answer they will blurt it out [08:41] i just pasted something using the pastebin but im not sure if anybody sees it here? [08:41] you have to paste the url here [08:42] allen: hold down Alt and press the number corresponding to the window, or press Escape then press the button. E.g., Alt-4 switches to window 4. [08:42] allen: and act stands for active :) [08:42] Pierreb: thanks it's http://paste.ubuntu.com/386172/ [08:42] anyone in here that have integrated a ftp server with AD? #samba is dead so figured i could try here [08:42] is there a way to read the output of ubiquity? [08:43] rww: on an azerty keybord it is Alt-Shift-4 ;) [08:44] titan_ark, save that list and work your way through it [08:44] solid_liquid, :) sure thanks [08:44] titan_ark, I've written an article on scp and one on ls here: http://solid.linux-coders.org/ [08:44] titan_ark, you really should read the one on 'ls' at least; it shows how much more sophisticated ls is than dir [08:45] titan_ark, and provides some very useful insight I think into using the shell period [08:45] solid_liquid, damn the # of languages i need to know! c c++ java assembly vhdl verilog perl and now unix too :D [08:45] solid_liquid, hmmm i sure will [08:45] what program do i need to add to have a sidebar? [08:47] solid_liquid, btw i am part of a LUG at my school, do check lug-sjsu.org and give your comments. we would like to learn more and educate many more about Linux and FOSS [08:47] pls i need help http://paste.ubuntu.com/386172/ [08:48] titan_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 similar [08:48] hey 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 eh [08:48] titan_ark, k, going there [08:48] solid_liquid, cool, okay [08:50] whoo hoo!! just figured out an easy fix for the java not found problem [08:51] heh heh it was just calling the wrong directory by default [08:51] thank you for help :( [08:51] i solved myself giving dmraid -ay before starts ubiauity [08:52] titan_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 shell [08:53] solid_liquid, surely will have bookmarked and will go through it in time. too much to digest for a n00b at a time [08:53] heh :) [08:54] titan_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 out [08:54] solid_liquid, :) [08:55] titan_ark, in the "What's this Linux thing" part you might also want to mention all the cellphones out there running Linux (apparently it's most of them now) [08:56] hi. anybody can tell me how to run echo mia audio card under ubuntustudio 9.10? it's not working "out of the box" [08:56] does anyone know how to add a program to launch on startup? [08:57] is it in /etc/init.d/skeleton or something? [08:57] solid_liquid, sure, thanks will tell my buddy to add it [08:58] titan_ark, np [08:58] Help. I have a desktop that use to boot just fine. And now after a reboot it says it waits for root file system, then can't find the disk. [08:58] I'm dropped into a busybox shell [08:58] but I have no editor... [08:58] I think the uuid of the disk changed. [08:59] so that now in /boot/grub/menu.lst the uuid is wrong [08:59] how do I change the root file system mapping to point to the /dev/sda2 [08:59] rather than the uuid? [09:00] is there any way to display what files a deb package installed? [09:00] solid_liquid, ttyl assignments to do before i crash and an early monday! thx once a gain [09:01] I came across bitrock installbuilder i'v neva used it b4 bt wld like to kno au good it is [09:01] frankS2: when you open the .deb in gdebi it tells you what files are included [09:02] kaytortuga: use a liveCD to chroot and "update-grub" [09:03] kaytortuga: or actually probably grub-install is what you want.. [09:03] frankS2: 'dpkg -L ' [09:03] frankS2: in a terminal [09:03] how do you check what is your default shell? [09:03] in the terminal [09:03] TecR0c, cat /etc/passwd | grep yourusername [09:04] Technoviking: echo $SHELL [09:04] hi [09:04] thanks ard [09:04] yw [09:04] ardchoille, not necessarily [09:04] TecR0c, /etc/passwd is where the default shell is set, so it's where you should check [09:04] TecR0c, and if you want to change it, you change that file [09:05] ok thanks [09:05] Technoviking: the SHELL variable holds your current shell, so echo $SHELL will suffice [09:05] TecR0c, np [09:05] ardchoille, unless you've run a different shell [09:05] I came across bitrock installbuilder i'v neva used it before bt wld like to kno au good it is [09:05] so its /bin/csh thanks [09:05] solid_liq: cat /etc/passwd | grep yourusername returns nothing here [09:06] ard you have to be root [09:06] useless use of cat [09:06] TecR0c: shouldn't ne4ed root for that [09:06] grep yourname /etc/passwd [09:06] TecR0c, oh yeah, because it takes root privs to work with that file. I forgot about that heh [09:06] sash_, yeah, I said that ;) [09:07] /etc/passwd doesn't require root privileges to read. [09:07] rww: correct [09:07] nope, its readable for everyone [09:07] exactly [09:07] ardchoille, it's perms aren't necessarily the default perms of Ubuntu... it sounds like he's not working with ubuntu [09:07] TecR0c: which versionof ubuntu are you using? [09:07] if csh is the default shell, it sounds more like he's on Unix [09:08] ard actually im using freebsd [09:08] but i knew the concept would be the same [09:08] =] [09:08] yep, Unix ;) [09:08] TecR0c: then you shouldn't be inhere asking bsd support [09:08] solid_liq: good call [09:08] where do I place my program to launch on startup? [09:08] I've only ever seen csh as a default shell on unix boxes [09:08] not boot but login [09:08] i can leave if u wish [09:09] hexdump, to your desktop? [09:09] hexdump: System > Preferences > Startup applications [09:09] hexdump, System>Preferences>Startup Applications [09:09] oh [09:09] nice [09:09] lol [09:09] good, I didn't have to type all that :) [09:09] demonspork: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:09] TecR0c: just know that this channel is for ubuntu support only [09:09] that's why I stalled ;) [09:09] guys, something weird just happened [09:09] solid_liquid: hehe [09:10] hnsr, I know, I tried to watch that big fight up in canada, but for some reason a hockey game happened instead [09:10] i 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] demonspork, :p [09:10] I'm using Xubuntu is there a way to access it through the shell? [09:10] ssh complained loudly, thankfully [09:10] but I wonder how the heck it even got that way [09:10] hexdump: you need to ask in #xubuntu [09:11] I came across bitrock installbuilder i'v neva used it b4 bt wld like to kno au good it is [09:11] hnsr, 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 was [09:11] hexdump: it's different in xubuntu [09:11] hnsr, which... is still a lot of work [09:11] ah okie thanks though now I know for ubuntu. thanks for the help [09:11] hexdump: applications - settings - sessions and startup [09:11] hnsr: grep chmod ~/.bash_history [09:12] solid_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 problems [09:12] I 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 lines [09:12] nobody seems to want to answer my question [09:13] hnsr, hmm [09:13] I 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 thing [09:14] though I'm not sure what it was actually doing, as I was in a hurry to get on with debugging my network :/ [09:14] yeiks, this isn't a "texting channel"... you might try typing like a normal human being ;) [09:15] sash_: actually I think "history | grep foo" would be better in case something has yet to be written to ~/.bash_history [09:15] thanks now I have to fix the ps3 media server java not found again pfff figures. figure one thing out another thing fails. [09:15] ardchoille: yep [09:15] hexdump, heh [09:16] anyay, 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 :p [09:18] hnsr, I think it was unique to you. I use ssh all the time, and haven't seen that problem [09:19] solid_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 :/ [09:21] hnsr, 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 purpose [09:21] can i run xfire on ubuntu? [09:21] xfire? [09:21] rgr [09:22] crossfire? [09:22] Game. [09:22] oh [09:22] no idea [09:22] Try wine. [09:22] how do i use wine [09:22] yeah, or crossover (commercial version of wine) [09:22] !wine | inja [09:22] inja: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [09:22] i have wine === david is now known as Guest94909 [09:23] inja: wine is installed ? it basically enables you to double click ".exe" files and the execute much the same way windows would hdandle it [09:23] inja: i use wine for utorrent and a ftp program.. plus "steam" and a few other tid bits [09:24] pls what does this do [09:24] Where can i ask help questions? [09:24] right here [09:25] Quan-Time, you don't like the native torrent software? [09:25] pls what does this command do - 'update manager -d'? [09:25] Quan-Time, and all the native ftp programs? or just haven't found ones you like yet? [09:25] solid_liquid: nope. i like the simplicity of utorrent,, AND since i already have wine for other stuff, and utorrent is like 250k... [09:25] WEll my sound was very very choppy after instal then I installed flah and sound is gone. for all programs [09:25] flash* [09:26] solid_liquid be polite [09:26] ddavids: that particular command does nothing [09:26] solid_liquid: the FTP program i use, im just used to... i used to LOVE filezilla, but since it turns out the devs are douchebags, ive abandoned it and put my money else where [09:26] ddavids: but update-manager -d = Check if upgrading to the latest devel release is possible [09:26] I came across bitrock installbuilder i'v never used it before but would like to know how good it is [09:27] yeiks, what do you mean?

[09:30] /nick newnick to change your nick === dan__ is now known as danx [09:30] no, im on karmic and i know lucid is still due for april... i guess someone was on my system and type some code that caused the error... [09:31] id like to revert back... [09:31] I think Lucid is a very good name for 10.04 I have to say [09:31] ddavids: what command did you run to get that error? [09:31] Ok, just useing motherboard, GB MA790X-UD4P for sound issue, its usb [09:31] they're really doing a good job with it [09:31] 'sudo apt-get update' [09:32] SOrry it keeps changing my name automaticly [09:32] yeah. LTS releases have always been awesome [09:32] Guest94909, what does lspci show? [09:32] ddavids: can you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list file so I can make sure it's ok? [09:32] !paste | ddavids [09:32] ddavids: 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. [09:33] ardchoille, more than that though. They've just really streamlined everything nicely. I'm running it on my laptop, but I run 8.04LTS on my desktop because I love LTS releases period. But it's just really showing a lot of nice polish (Lucid) [09:33] solid_liq: yeah, I can't wait to try it out [09:33] sorry new to ubuntu. and linix all my background is in pc from termianal? [09:34] ardchoille, it's actually very stable for me already [09:34] so i stil dont get how wine works [09:34] Guest94909: welcome to a better world [09:34] :D [09:34] Guest94909, yeah, in terminal type: lspci [09:34] lol well its been rough trying to set up this pc, its my gf and prob spent about 15 hours trying to get things to work [09:35] work doing php mysql .net java stuff but all on pc for 15 years now so this is all new [09:36] hey can anybody help me with this...i recently installed kubuntu but i couldn't login to my account . [09:36] Guest94909, 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 enough [09:36] others: you need to ask in #kubuntu [09:36] well its getting easyer, i like alot of things just ease of use is fun [09:37] Guest94909, being a programmer, you'll really love the shell... it's awesome :) [09:37] ardchoille: http://paste.ubuntu.com/386195 [09:37] and monitor is 42in and it keeps thinking thats its a 7 in [09:37] Guest94909, you'll want to learn how to get a color prompt string first thing [09:37] lol [09:37] that's a sweet monitor [09:38] Help, I think my main workstation is about to have a hard drive failure. How do I backup all of my keys. ssh, gpg, etc [09:39] I'm coping over the entire home directory [09:39] ddavids: Wowsers, that's quite a list [09:39] is there anything outside of that directory that I need to save? === jim__ is now known as jjimbz [09:39] I read that by changing the sources in source.list from karmic to lucid will get you an upgrade, I am in the middle of the upgrade, chances of failure? [09:39] 01:00.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc HD48x0 audio [09:39] is this the line you wanted [09:39] ddavids: here's mine (been using ubuntu since 2005) http://ardchoille42.pastebin.com/gmWS19Cb [09:40] ddavids: I don't see any problems there, try updating again [09:41] hi [09:42] 32/m/kolkata [09:42] ardchoille: lol, thanks for having a look. im updating again... [09:42] ardchoille: same error during signature verification... [09:43] ardchoille: can i overlook it? or is it bound to affect something along the way? [09:43] ddavids: hold on [09:43] quentusrex, everything should be in /home unless you put anything elsewhere [09:43] hi [09:43] quentusrex, your ssh keys will be in ~/.ssh/ [09:43] olaaaa [09:44] ola hay alguien?? [09:44] almoxarife: that is not at all a supported way of doing the upgrade, you should let the automatic procedures take care of that for you.. also for lucid support see #ubuntu+1 [09:44] !es | Laliitoo [09:44] Laliitoo: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [09:44] ddavids: you seem to have a lot of redundant entries. Would you like for me to re-write it for you? [09:44] I need to install glib 2.21.3 on Ubuntu 9.04 [09:44] Can anyone help me? [09:45] ardchoille: yes pls... [09:45] I get this error while compiling webkit gtk [09:45] hecking for GLIB... configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.21.3 [09:45] gobject-2.0 >= 2.0 [09:45] gthread-2.0 >= 2.0) were not met: [09:45] Requested 'glib-2.0 >= 2.21.3' but version of GLib is 2.20.1 [09:45] minus007: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:45] is anyone here a registered member of LP with opgp keys? [09:46] ddavids: open a terminal and follow my instructions [09:47] ardchoille: ok [09:47] ddavids: sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.backup [09:48] Zus: I guess many are, what is your question? [09:48] ddavids: let me know when that is done [09:48] arand, are they specifically personal pgp keys or would a "specific" team have one how do they work? [09:50] ardchoille: done [09:50] ddavids: copy and paste this line exactly as it is into your terminal and run it: sudo sed -i 's|deb http://ng.archive.ubuntu.com|# deb http://ng.archive.ubuntu.com|g' /etc/apt/sources.list [09:51] In anyone here an expert at usine dar for making backups? [09:51] ardchoille: done [09:52] ddavids: save the file and then do: sudo apt-get update [09:52] ardchoille, it should already be saved ;) === matteo is now known as Guest42702 [09:52] solid_liquid: yeah, force of habit [09:52] ardchoille, heh, I figured as much [09:52] ardchoille: there's no file to save... [09:53] ddavids: sudo apt-get update [09:53] ddavids, ignore that saving part ;) [09:53] it was a silent action [09:53] yeah, that's an old habit of mine [09:53] ardchoille: ok [09:53] ddavids: any errors? [09:53] still working [09:53] I just started a project at my university, the project is to install a Linux client and make it login on a windows server domain controller, can anyone put me on the right track ? [09:54] ardchoille: there are errors... [09:54] and of course I chose Ubuntu for the Linux OS [09:54] ddavids: Can you pastebin them pls? [09:54] Ok so using the OSS driver for spotify, it needs to be the first application to lock/use audio.. [09:54] Is there any way to release whatever else is using audio? [09:55] I have this strange problem where my wireless won't connect to any open networks, only encrypted ones. Any hints? [09:55] Arma_, 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 point [09:55] ardchoille: ok - http://paste.ubuntu.com/386203/ [09:56] Zus: 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..) [09:57] 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] ddavids: Is this from a new install or an upgrade from a previous release? [09:57] solid_liquid: would Fedora work on a P2 with 128MB Ram ? I was thinking about Xubuntu [09:58] Arma_, uh... an older version would for sure. I'm not sure about the current ones [09:58] ardchoille: it's a new install but i gave it out to a friend and i guess he must have tampered wt it... [09:58] 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] arand, thanks... [09:58] ddavids: Can you run this command for me please: lsb_release -r [09:59] test, anybody sees this? [09:59] yes [09:59] adri_: try this command: echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/asus-laptop/ls_switch [09:59] hatten_: coming through fine =) [09:59] Arma_, 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 domain [10:00] would someone say my nick please? testing notifications [10:00] brjann: hi! [10:00] brjann, no [10:00] okay, I've borked X on my netbook, and I dunno how to choose and connect to network through the cli at ubuntu [10:00] adri_: as root [10:00] solid_liquid: lol [10:00] rww: thanks! solid_liquid: :( [10:00] lol [10:00] brjann, it gave a notification, didn't it? ;) [10:00] Arma_: you may want to consider trying lubuntu [10:00] brjann: yes, but it sounded sad. [10:00] as soon as i get internet i'll be fine [10:00] use puppy linux [10:00] oops, now i'm talking to myself. clearly i should go to sleep [10:01] PingFloyd, lubuntu? [10:01] ardchoille: tobi@tobi-laptop:~$ lsb_release -r [10:01] Release: 9.10 [10:01] ubuntu with lxde frontend [10:01] crawler, thank you very much. so there's no front-end for switching on/off the light sensor? [10:01] PingFloyd: I was considering it too, solid_liquid yes it is lxde GUI [10:01] Nobody knows how to connect to the internet through the cli here? [10:01] list [10:01] hatten_: wires or wireless? [10:01] wires [10:01] ah ha! I finally fixed everything! [10:01] solid_liquid: it uses lxde for the desktop environment [10:01] I 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 think [10:01] faileas: wires [10:01] just had to get that out sorry [10:01] ddavids: 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] Hi, 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. [10:02] adri_: not that i know of. you'll have to run that every boot, i believe. should be easy enough though [10:02] hatten_, just connect to the network with internet access [10:02] What should I believe, and If its samsungs tool, how to remove the error in ubuntu ? [10:02] PingFloyd, hmm, I didn't know that flavor existed [10:02] hatten : ifconfig and pastebin what's there. If you need a browser... w3m is the 'easy' one. lynx is more popular tho [10:02] crawler, ok I'll just put something in init.d. [10:02] solid_liquid: I think it is still just a virtual package right now [10:02] ddavids: would you like me to walk you through returning your sources.list to the original? [10:02] djoef: it might be either logical or physical you should know which first [10:02] djoef: tried running fsck? [10:02] adri_: ok, good luck xD [10:02] ardchoille: yes pls... [10:02] solid_liquid: the plan is to make it a distro though [10:02] a preliminary version of lubuntu is in Ubuntu 9.10's metaverse repository [10:02] faileas, I think links is much better than lynx. lynx is ancient and crusty [10:03] lol [10:03] PingFloyd, I've never even tried lxde [10:03] faileas, 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] solid_liquid: i prefer w3m [10:03] ;p [10:03] faileas, I like w3m too === Termana_n810 is now known as Guest38942 [10:03] I used to run lxde on debian on my old PII, it ran pretty nicely [10:03] Arma_, how should I check for this ? [10:03] 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 controller [10:03] solid_liquid: faileas w8 a second, booting [10:03] djoef: if its a FS issue... you'd prolly not have it caufht by said tool [10:04] Arma_: yeah, that is probably your best route [10:04] djoef: djoef: tried running fsck? [10:04] faileas, FS ? [10:04] PingFloyd: but hooking it up to a windows domain should be a challenge [10:04] How to install Firefox 3.6 on Ubuntu 9.04? [10:04] hatten: 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 2 [10:04] djoef, filesystem [10:04] and I would prefer Ubuntu over Fedora [10:04] psycho_oreos, thank you :) [10:04] what psycho_oreos said [10:04] ddavids: open a terminal and do: sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list && sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list.backup /etc/apt/sources.list [10:04] ZOMG FEDORA HATS [10:04] but if there is no way to do but on Fedora then Fedora it is I guess [10:04] djoef, np [10:05] Arma_, it can be done on Ubuntu too, it's just more work [10:05] hey guys [10:05] 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] !hi [10:05] 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! [10:05] Arma_: http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/HOWTO:_Configure_Ubuntu_for_Active_Directory_Authentication ? [10:05] hey p1oooop1 [10:05] solid_liquid: work is no problem I have 4 months to finish this project [10:05] ardchoille: done [10:05] Arma_, 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 distro [10:06] adri_: not as far as i know. that's one reason i document my changes in a wiki ;p [10:06] faileas, Arma_ , So even with the samsung diagnostic tool saying there is no error, you would recommend me to check with fsck right ? [10:06] faileas: yeah, ifconfig says no ip, only inet addr and mask, and some other stuff [10:06] ddavids: I'm sorry I wasn't able to fix this problem for you, but keep asking in here and someone should be able to help [10:06] djoef: totally [10:06] Guysssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss [10:06] Arma_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba [10:06] hatten_: sudo ifup [10:06] !ask | minus007 [10:06] minus007: 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. :-) [10:06] djoef: of course [10:06] How to install FF 3.6 on Ubunto 9.04??????????????????????????????/ [10:06] ardchoille: no prbs, thanks so much for ur time... i think i have a friend to skin... [10:06] Okk [10:06] minus007: go to firefox.com and download the binary [10:07] minus007, stop yelling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;) [10:07] faileas: how do i find the interfacename? [10:07] ddavids: hehe, you're welcome [10:07] has linux-ubuntu-modules been deprecated? [10:07] ok [10:07] anyone know how to record using pulse? for whatever reason, it isn't working :P [10:07] solid_liquid: I am a part of Ubuntu-lb so I'm working alone on this project, true, but this is one for the team ;) [10:07] perhaps my ALSA drivers aren;t working right? [10:07] hatten_: it should be eth0 or eth1 - ifconfig should have output it [10:07] because apt/synaptic does not seem to have anything for 3.6.31.* [10:07] minus007: Firefox 3.6 is not officially supported on Ubuntu 9.04. For an unsupported PPA version, see https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-stable [10:07] intel ICH-7? [10:07] Is FF 3.6 available thru a PPA? [10:07] ddavids: fwiw, you shouldn't be getting that error unless he messed with your keyrings [10:07] hatten_: if neither are up, we will need to find it from lshw [10:07] Thanks rww [10:07] nevermind [10:08] faileas, Arma_, should I do this starting from a live CD and run the full test ? (secondary question, will this be able to "repair" my disk (or at least avoid further errors by ignoring those blocks)) [10:08] Hi everyone! My drive sda is divided into 3 partitions: boot, swap, and data. I corrupted files on the boot partition. Can I fix it without affecting the data partition? [10:08] faileas: neither are up [10:08] Arma_, it would be great to see Ubuntu have a large installbase at a University [10:08] djoef: yes [10:08] hatten_: what do you have? [10:09] faileas: in ifconfig? linnk encap, inet addr, mask, rx/tx packets, mtu, metric, rx/tx bytes [10:09] solid_liquid: I agree, wouldn't it really make a difference? [10:09] ardchoille: i guessed as much [10:09] hatten_: all the way left [10:09] solid_liquid: yup, and LDAP does not help cause I wont have a linux server, they have a windows server [10:09] faileas: aha, lo [10:09] faileas: only [10:09] solid_liquid: hundreds more people in here asking for help :D [10:09] faileas, Arma_ , thanks ! [10:09] mjrosenb: yes. That package was only published for hardy; I'm looking to see where that functionality is now located. [10:09] but isnt it possible to revert such, to an earlier time? just thinking... [10:09] hatten_: ahh. ok. TIME FOR STAGE TWO! STRIKE! [10:09] (kidding) [10:09] p1oooop, heh [10:10] hatten_: sudo lshw | less [10:10] faileas: fight! [10:10] ddavids: I'm sure it is, I just don't know how [10:10] rww: sweet. [10:10] hatten_: look for lines starting with *-network [10:10] 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 bandwidth [10:10] nay body help, someone has messed up wt my keyrings (it seems) and now i cant update wtout errors. [10:10] p1oooop get off... :P [10:11] hold on, imma go get p1oooop [10:11] faileas: faileas found it, *-network DISABLED [10:11] p1oooop1: please stop [10:11] hatten_: is there a eth something there? [10:11] p1oooop1: this is a support channel, try to keep to that topic, it's support for ubuntu only [10:11] faileas: eth5 O_o [10:11] hatten_: ah hah! STAGE 3! [10:11] mjrosenb: from the look of it, free modules are in the regular linux-image packages, non-free ones are in linux-restricted-modules-versionnumber-architecture [10:11] faileas: that's its logical nome [10:11] faileas: name [10:12] mjrosenb: 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] hatten_: sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces [10:12] I would like one of those "Ubuntu will be release in x days" graphic for my website. Where would I get one? [10:12] faileas: nano? bah, vim all the way [10:12] hatten_: whatever you feel comfy with. nano is newbie friendly [10:12] there we go === Mowee`Bnc is now known as Mowee [10:12] p1oooop ? [10:13] solid_liquid, PingFloyd I have a question, would it be better to make a local Ubuntu server which Ubuntu clients will connect to and itself will connect to the Windows server or would it be better to make all clients directly connected to the windows server ? [10:13] faileas: i know, im only noob to ubuntu, one year user of arch [10:13] change any instance of "eth0" under primary network interface to eth5 [10:13] rww: should the tp_smapi (or whatever smapi is called these days) be in there? [10:13] faileas: okay, i got it, there are two rows [10:13] faileas: 'auto lo' and 'iface lo inet loopback' [10:13] ... wait... what? [10:13] ok [10:13] faileas: that's what inside the interfaces file [10:14] Anyone know whats up with playdeb being down? [10:14] ardchoille: 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] Arma_, what you're talking about sounds like a suse server [10:14] add two lines "auto eth5" and "iface eth5 inet dhcp" [10:14] viliny, the main server failed, we are working on it [10:14] solid_liquid: suse ? [10:15] hatten_: that should fix it. all you need to do is restart your networky stuff, and you'll be goof [10:15] Kamokow: you are right, using GD [10:15] Kamokow: That's what I was thinking too but thought I'd ask [10:15] Kamokow: google it ;) [10:15] Arma_, Novell made sure suse servers integrate seamlessly with windows networks, which is why m$ sells support contracts for suse linux [10:15] ardchoille: google GD, it can use PHP but PHP is not necessarry for it to work [10:16] faileas: yay, one ifup later and I'm connected. Thanks a lot! [10:16] solid_liquid: so I have to install suse ? :( [10:16] Arma_, heh not necessarily [10:16] hatten_: np. i had a similar issue with a VM a few days back ;p [10:16] Arma_, it's just the easiest solution [10:16] solid_liquid: or maybe opensuse :/ I would like it to be open source [10:16] Kamokow: fouhnd it! http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/countdown [10:16] Arma_, suse is opensource, just charged for [10:16] ardchoille: 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 image [10:16] mjrosenb: I'm looking, but my computer's being slow [10:16] ardchoille: I also just found it and was going to send. I guess thats not a problem now. Gratz. [10:17] zon.net [10:17] shit : [10:17] :D [10:17] rww: also, the latest linux-restricted-modules-generic seems to be for 2.6.28-17.22 [10:17] what was that? [10:17] zagabar: please control your language [10:17] 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 opensuse [10:17] ikonia: i think you mean zupper? who just did a driveby ;p [10:18] ughhh, tab lag [10:18] zagabar: sorry , misstab/lag [10:18] Arma_, 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 well [10:18] mjrosenb: hmm, that's odd. They must have changed it in Karmic and I never noticed :\ [10:18] solid_liquid: has it been done before ? [10:19] Arma_, has what? [10:19] if it has then I will find it online and make it through [10:19] rww: isn't progress great? [10:19] I hate to see windows everywhere, it is slooooooow and unstable and I HATE IT [10:19] Arma_, dunno if you'll find that or not [10:19] I want My unversity to have a taste of linux [10:19] Arma_, you're preaching to the choir [10:19] cause once you go linux you never go back [10:19] Arma_: ok - what do you actually need support with ? [10:20] yep [10:20] solid_liquid: actually I'm working on it not just preaching [10:20] Arma_, lol like all of us [10:20] Arma_: 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] Arma_: LMAO, you think... the only reason, IMHO that windows is so popular is because it's "easy" to use [10:20] I've been working for 3 semesters now on this project and finally I got computers with P2 to work on [10:20] p1oooop1: IT IS NOT EASY TO USE [10:20] Arma_: you ever think of making a kerrighed cluster? [10:20] Arma_: stop now [10:20] I find linux easier to manipulate :/ [10:21] but that's just me [10:21] ikonia, I got these P2 to install linux on them and hook em up to a windows domain controller [10:21] oops, wrong channel... sorry ikonia === Guest38942 is now known as Termana_n810 [10:21] p1oooop1, no, it's what comes with computers, so it's what people already know, it was the cheapest solution 30 years ago so lots of custom apps have been written for it, and it has vendor lock in [10:21] Arma_: ok - so you need support with that ? [10:21] and I chose the very first Linux OS I ever used and learned on to impliment the project [10:21] !ot [10:21] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[10:22] Arma_: ok - what part are you stuck with [10:22] actually, I was looking for some help with my sound recording [10:22] I didn;t start the project yet, I got the computers today, soo I'm doing research [10:22] ooo, that looks useful [10:22] i cannot record sound for whatever reason...

[10:34] :P [10:34] sunson: sudo rsync -aux / /media/stick [10:34] zetheroo: simplest [10:34] sunson: needs unix-fs on stick [10:34] llutz: but that ain't workie boss [10:35] sunson: works [10:35] llutz: I want it to be similar. not identical. it should be an instance of its own. i want it to use its own disk. [10:35] what works for one may not work for another ... :) [10:35] sunson: thats something different [10:35] sunson: like remaster? [10:36] there we go, I just had to enable a few plugins [10:36] llutz: probably :) [10:36] sunson: be more specific next time [10:36] llutz: it must boot and work as it works right now [10:37] sunson: so you want Ubuntu to run off of a USB Hard drive? [10:37] zetheroo: kinda like a snapshot "backup" [10:37] plooop yes ... i have been recently [10:37] zetheroo: if shit happens, i can boot off the drive [10:37] zetheroo: periodically, repeat the process [10:37] ubottu: language | sunson [10:37] sunson: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

I see [10:43] how do you fully remove the network proxy settings ...? [10:43] hi all [10:43] p1oooop: okay, still didn't work; any other ideas? i'm gonna rm -rf /home/username/Documents and then ln -s. [10:43] I 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 anything [10:44] for some reason the proxy settings are stuck in the system somewhere [10:44] zetheroo: grep -i proxy /etc/apt [10:44] AndyGraybeal: I'd backup before I do that though [10:44] Synaptic says : Could not resolve 'proxy' [10:44] zetheroo: rgrep -i proxy /etc/apt/* [10:44] p1oooop: ther's nothing there [10:44] and remember to set the owner of the directory [10:44] aah so the owner, tell me [10:44] llutz: the second one? [10:45] zetheroo: yes, sry [10:45] p1oooop: i have the group set properly [10:45] AndyGraybeal: works. [10:45] does anypne know if i can burn an iso image with the cdburn utility from the ubuntu live? [10:45] p1oooop: you mean just having the group works ? (i'm sorry) [10:45] dole: Brasero? Yes, it can burn iso files. [10:46] because 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] AndyGraybeal: I would assume... I don't mess with permissions much... [10:46] k thank you [10:46] llutz: ok I did that and then sudo apt-get update and it's still not working ... Could not resolve proxy [10:46] zetheroo: was there any output? that cmd won't fix anything [10:46] AndyGraybeal: if it doesn't go ahead and set owner [10:46] ya, i'll try owner now [10:46] thanks [10:46] llutz: no output [10:47] slt [10:47] zetheroo: "unset http_proxy sudo apt-get update" [10:47] Hello!

Thanks a heap [10:51] abhi_nav: Any particular reason you chose to memoserv me? [10:51] zetheroo: so somewhere http_proxy is set...

Probably a good idea to ask first next time :) [10:52] abhi_nav: but yes, I did get it [10:52] rww: yah sure! [10:52] zetheroo: and "rgrep http_proxy ~/.*" [10:52] rww: yah thnx [10:52] rww ( and sorry for disturbance!) :) [10:52] llutz: searching .... [10:52] How can I install multiple fonts in one go?

[10:55] grandemahatma: I believe there's a feature that can allign it into a grid [10:56] p1oooop: ok, the idea would be that when I change page in the pdf, the corresponding notes are shown on the laptop [10:56] can any one help me to configure Evolution to access me gmail account [10:56] you know something like MSoffice does with ppt.. [10:56] shaullx: click the person-in-a-circle icon in the bottom right, click Use on-screen keyboard, use that. [10:57] grandemahatma: ahh, I believe openoffice can convert PDF into .odf files and from there, I believe you can add notes onto each page [10:58] I'll have a look. thanks p1oooop [10:59] how many o on that plooooooop? [10:59] abhi_nav: 4 [10:59] if i'm on 8.10 and i do: apt-get dist-upgrade .... will i go to 9.something? [10:59] sorry, watching TV at the same time [10:59] * abhi_nav is weak in maths! [11:00] AndyGraybeal: I think 9.4 [11:00] p1oooop: okay thankyou [11:00] AndyGraybeal: and from there, to 9.10 if you dist upgrade again [11:00] (I think ) [11:00] aah okay interesting [11:00] AndyGraybeal: If you don't change your sources.list file, no. [11:00] yea, i don't want to move yet.. i'm afraid i'd hbreak everything === coz_ is now known as booboo [11:00] rww: aah please explain [11:01] AndyGraybeal: one second, there's a link that explains this nicely [11:01] thank you!

[11:06] sudo eject [11:06] AndyGraybeal: Probably a good idea :). Just so you know, though, 8.10 is only supported until this April, so I'd recommend upgrading before then. [11:06] (?) [11:07] I cannot enable basic desktop effects in Ubuntu. It searches for available drivers for a while and then fails. I did install the proprietary FGLRX drivers, but Ubuntu says they are "enabled but not in use" -- I have an ATI mobility radeon 3650. [11:07] dole: creat bootable usb from that live cd. boot from that usb and then write cd [11:07] dole: You don't. You need to either 1) have two CD drives or 2) make a LiveUSB stick and boot from it. [11:07] abhi_nav: it says that cdrom is busy and can't be unmounted [11:08] dole: creat bootable usb from that live cd. boot from that usb and then write cd [11:08] adri : you tried aticonfig __initial -f ? [11:08] aha, ty guys :) [11:08] --initial [11:08] llutz: still has not found anything [11:08] The LiveCD contains a program for making LiveUSBs, and you can make a LiveUSB from the currently-running CD I believe, so that's nice and easy. [11:11] hello, can someone help me sort out this: fetchmail: no mailservers have been specified === pascalFR is now known as PascalFr_parti [11:16] s7: did you actually specified a mailserver (via configuration file or comman line)? [11:17] no i never and am wondering how to do that [11:17] HI EVERYBODY FROM TURKEY [11:19] s7: why you need to use fetchmail? why not use a integrated mal client like evolution or thunderbird ?

[11:26] mount [11:26] Our guys installed CentOS 5.4 after installing ubuntu 9.1x [11:26] Because it uses ext4, grub and centos didn't detect that. [11:26] I am finding very difficult to resolve the issue. [11:27] ok byee [11:27] Grub was able to mount the drive. [11:27] raddy, you should have installed centos first before ubuntu [11:27] raddy: centos tends to have slightly older stuff. i thought ext4 was backwards compatable, though. maybe reinstall grub2 the way you would should grub be overwritten by windows?

[11:49] Not 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] sorry i tell you more [11:49] hello :) === jz is now known as Guest49333 [11:50] i'm tryng to open a shell [11:50] pressing ctrl + f1 [11:50] :) [11:50] and i login in my screen [11:50] and then i press the code fpr amsn [11:50] ctrl-alt-f1 or ctrl-f1? [11:50] ctrl alt f1 [11:50] sorry [11:50] i'm a noob [11:51] who knows how many rams need to use xubuntu ? [11:51] Guest27404: you are aware xubuntu has terminal apps that you can launch within the graphical interface? [11:51] yes i'm sure [11:51] previously i installed xubuntu [11:51] and amsn [11:51] Guest27404: and you type in "sudo aptitude install amsn"? [11:52] i've installed in this way [11:52] Guest27404: so which part fails? [11:52] 192 mb is enough ? [11:52] so the shell says yhat can't find amsn package [11:52] but i think the code that i put was correct [11:54] is there a commandline command to see what packages i have installed since my box was fully installed? [11:54] Guest27404: if you go to applications - system - software sources, is the community maintained Open Source software (universe) box ticked? [11:54] Hi there!

[11:55] and says that can't find package amsn [11:55] i can install amsn in another way [11:55] without shell?? [11:55] Guest27404: yes [11:55] how? [11:55] Hi there! I got a problem with my linksys router, can anybody do me some favor? [11:55] Guest27404: applications - add/remove [11:56] can someone tell me why ubuntu 9.10 keeps locking up on me? [11:56] I 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] ubuntu: Can you click the Firefox icon? [11:56] and then? [11:56] minus007: how would it know what dependencies it's lacking, if you're compiling from source? [11:56] Guest27404: search for it, install [11:56] It shows the dependent library [11:57] And I have to download the source and install that library [11:57] the system are refreshing the screen with an update [11:57] Hi there!

[12:24] * frankS2 helps some1 [12:24] indus,do u use any firewall? [12:25] dheeraj, in ubuntu? no i have a router with hardwrae firewall isnt that enough [12:25] dheeraj, i mean the isp one [12:25] indus,in ubuntu..any software firewall installed?

How do I install certain applications only for certain users on a multi-user Ubuntu system? [12:28] I have a ubuntu karmic with everything gnome uninstalled and xfce desktop added is there a way to install gnome without getting every app thats included?? [12:28] dheeraj, no i use ubuntu [12:28] thats why iam here [12:29] becker_11: sudo apt-get install gnome [12:29] becker_11: instead of ubuntu-desktop [12:29] iceroot: thankyou [12:29] what its all linux there might be few different sets that all... Linux is linux.. Have to say ubuntu is leading the way, bit different... :) [12:31] If you understand how to use cli then your 95% good to go in linux ... [12:31] so do any one of you here use a firewall? [12:31] archboxman: linux is a kernel and not bash [12:31] !anyone | indus [12:31] indus: 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] iceroot, ? [12:32] iceroot: well thats odd I thought it was an OS??? [12:32] so question is, how is my system protected from the crazyh internet world [12:32] iceroot: 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-desktop [12:33] indus: with up to date packages [12:33] indus: ports are only opened if a program is started [12:33] iceroot, that doesnt hide your ip [12:33] archboxman: linux is the kernel developed by linux torvalds Gnu/Linux is the operating system [12:33] are you telling me, a person cant enter my system if a program is not running? sorry i find it hard to believe [12:34] if 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] archboxman: gnu.org [12:34] indus: 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 firewall [12:34] becker_11: funny I thought the idea was freedom to use programs..... [12:34] good morning [12:34] indus: if you think a firewall is for hiding an ip you are very very wrong [12:34] indus, 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 ports [12:34] archboxman: in regards to what sorry [12:34] indus: maybe read something about networking [12:34] Seeing how that was the main compliant ... why isn't it free [12:34] tar -c --strip-components 2 /home/user/myfiles ? [12:35] I don't want them knowing my system is there, a firewall stops my machine from replying [12:35] guys, 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 standards [12:35] indus: that would be a proxy more so than a firewall [12:35] so a firewall doesnt hide an ip? what exactly does it do then [12:35] where can i find repositories concerning php5.3 for ubuntu 8.3 [12:35] indus: controlling the traffic [12:35] iceroot, iam pretty much wrong yes thats why i ask here [12:35] indus: man iptable [12:35] the fact that the system replies "port is closed" is already far too much, because now they know there is a system there [12:35] indus: stops packets from entering your system while letting allowed packets in and out [12:36] indus: there you will find what a firewall is/can do [12:36] firewall is not going to hurt anything, I just turn it on and set it to deny unsolicited traffic [12:36] well, most tutorials say no need of it in ubuntu but .. [12:36] iceroot: security is the idea of combining standards to make your computer safe from the router down to the computer... [12:36] indus: you dont need a firewall [12:36] someone here can send a port scan request [12:37] DaemonFC: that's it start firewall create first rule block all inbound :-) [12:37] indus: ip? [12:37] Is there a suitable driver for my webcam (Microdia webcam:Vender ID 0c45:600d Microdia TwinkleCam USB camera)? [12:37] indus, I respectfully disagree with those tutorials then [12:37] and what if firefox is running, wouldnt the scanner know that port 80 is open [12:37] indus: firefox is not a webserver so why should port 80 be opened? [12:37] i 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] indus: please read some network-basics [12:38] indus: www.grc.com go check out sheilds up it's a port tester and very very good at explaining what you are looking for [12:38] iceroot, i thojught a web browser listen s on port 80 [12:38] indus: and why should firefox open port 80 on your client? [12:39] indus: grc.com also has forums I learnt an incredible amount from that site and forum [12:39] indus: remember the more security you put up... the different the effect will be... [12:39] indus: Web *servers* listen on port 80. Web *browsers* don't. [12:39] rww, hello , thanks [12:39] indus, sudo ufw enable && sudo ufw default deny and never worry about it again, good for most desktop users [12:39] indus: again, you dont need a firewall on your system [12:39] rww, so i ask again, when firefox is running, it doesnt open port 80?i saw that in preferences too [12:40] indus: nmap -p 80 localhost while firefox is running [12:40] iceroot, 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] indus: it uses port 80 to get http traffic but it doesn't open it or listen on it [12:40] DaemonFC: a virusscanner on linux can make your system also safer.... [12:40] DaemonFC: deny is the ufw default now, so it's even easier than that :) === ae86-drifter1 is now known as ae86-drifter [12:41] becker_11, could you tell me a little what means to get http traffic [12:41] indus: a browser also uses port 443 and possibly 21 [12:41] iceroot, 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 down [12:41] or get confused and delete pieces of the OS :) [12:41] indus: 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] "sudo ufw enable" and you're done :) [12:41] virus scanners do that to Windows users in a comedy of errors :) [12:41] iflema: 160 GB harddrive one year old [12:42] DaemonFC: but there is no reason for a firewall [12:42] DaemonFC: unless you want some routing [12:42] well,in my router my firewall is enabled. what is that for? [12:42] I cannot use alt to type additional characters on Ubuntu 9.10. I checked xev and I don't get a KeyPress/KeyRelease event when I press any of the alt keys, only a KeyMapNotify. [12:42] indus: its getting offtopic [12:42] is there not some way to tell tar to ignore all directories above the current directory? [12:42] it is? [12:43] iceroot, There's some reason to turn it on, it provides some protection at no overhead and very low risk of interfering with anything legit [12:43] indus: of course [12:43] That's kind of how I view it [12:43] is anyone having issue with volume in firefox on youtube? dont hear anything...(my rythmbox and system does fine) [12:43] I also have all apparmor policies installed and enforced [12:43] !xfce [12:43] Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels [12:43] I got grub 5 error... how to solve this??? [12:43] can anyone help me figuring out for having native ttf configured on my php what should package should i download ? [12:44] whats the exact purpose and target audience of xfce? [12:44] abhi_nav_, Stripped down desktop for old PCs mainly I believe is the target audience [12:44] indus: 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] abhi_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 systems [12:45] because, i remember using zonealarm in windows, so was wondering about ubuntu [12:45] abhi_nav_: I like xfce because it is lighter than gnome and runs faster on my system [12:45] DaemonFC: & becker_11: ok should i install it on my ubuntu to get more speed and performance? I now have gnome [12:45] and zonealarm keeps saying this attempt blvocked etc even though i dont run anhy web servers [12:45] indus: for what you need a firewall? [12:45] indus, Totally different thing. ufw is just a way to set iptables, which is built into the kernel. [12:46] I 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 standards [12:46] indus: sorry but you even dont know what firefox is doing when surfing [12:46] abhi_nav_: sure [12:46] Zonealarm is an entire filtering engine full of bloat sitting in userspece and tapped into your TCP/IP stack [12:46] DaemonFC: & becker_11: ok thnx [12:46] iceroot, thats what iam asking whether i need it or not, iam not running anything [12:46] iceroot, i dont like your tone btw [12:47] indus, Zonealarm is a resource sapper like most Windows security software, ufw jsut writes iptables settings and has almost no overhead [12:47] folx my gpg --clearsign won't work [12:47] hints & tips pls? :) [12:47] iceroot: that was not nice give him a break :) [12:47] indus: you dont need a firewall on a linux-desktop-pc maybe you need a firewall if you are using vpn at home to your company and want protect others from the lan to go through the vpn tunnel [12:47] Olaa [12:47] anyways, i dont have any more questions, ill google it [12:47] alguieen k able español? [12:47] ubottu: es | morena [12:47] morena: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [12:47] assume a condition where, anyhow my host ubuntu is unable to connect to internet by any menas. then will my clean installation of guest ubuntu on vm wll connect to internet? (assume that no hardware prob. every hardware is in ok condition) [12:47] indus: maybe you want something like a router/nat [12:48] iceroot, i have a router given by my isp, which has firewall enabled in it anyways [12:48] indus, not beating around the bush - firestarter seems like the program you want [12:48] indus: 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] iceroot, anyway thanks , ill read more about this somewhere else [12:48] on Windows machines, I just leave the built in "firewall" going because third party software makes the system die a slow and horrible death, but everything in Linux is just a pretty iptables frontend [12:48] indus: ok [12:48] indus, altough not really necessary for ordinary use [12:49] !kde [12:49] KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . See http://kubuntu.org for more information. For more information on KDE 4, see !kde4 [12:49] gpg --clearsign turns .pgp into .pgp.asc but I need to decrypt that too [12:49] DaemonFC: windows firewall? ugghh! [12:49] once i setup a webserver using apache and with no security at all , i had no idea what i was doing [12:49] how do I change font in the virtual terminals? I cannot see ╔ or ═ signs [12:49] becker_11, Better than nothing. I've yet to see evidence that Zonealarm does better. :) [12:49] i wanted someone to acess a location on my system [12:49] !desktop [12:49] A desktop environment is what "puts the pieces of a !GUI together". The available desktop environments in Ubuntu are !GNOME (ubuntu-desktop), !KDE (kubuntu-desktop), !Xfce (xubuntu-desktop), IceWM, !Fluxbox, WindowMaker (wmaker), FVWM and others - See also !Flavors [12:49] indus: what security you want from a firewall when using apache? blocking port 80? [12:50] DaemonFC: I always used kerio I got to write each and every rule and inspect all the logs [12:50] never mind [12:50] ill read more [12:50] indus: then why using apache? [12:50] DaemonFC: and it was free [12:50] iceroot,its a web server no?so i setup it on my system\ [12:50] indus: only for lan or also for wan? [12:50] Hi, A question about the Evolution email client. I wonder how to run/apply the filter rules on my Inbox? Making filter is no problem. But I got 1700 msgs that I want to sort into different folders. [12:50] becker_11, You have to watch out with free firewalls on Windows cause some of them will break things to where you need to re-install Windows. Comodo likes to do that. Poor Windows users. [12:50] iceroot, then i setup a static ip and gave ip address to my friend who could access my system [12:50] indus: I can connect to your system using SSH over port 22 I don't need apache [12:51] hmm [12:51] DaemonFC: yeah I am happy to have left that behind [12:51] indus: and then? [12:51] iceroot, so was like a web address so type url and reach my system [12:51] iceroot, that dyndns thing [12:51] just for fun i did it [12:51] indus: sounds like SSH to me [12:51] indus: and only your friend should reach apache? [12:51] iceroot, no anyone [12:52] indus: then why need a firewall???? [12:52] iceroot, :) [12:52] assume a condition where, anyhow my host ubuntu is unable to connect to internet by any menas. then will my clean installation of guest ubuntu on vm wll connect to internet? (assume that no hardware prob. every hardware is in ok condition) [12:52] indus: to block port 80 to the world? [12:52] indus I was chatting in irc from my g/f house using ssh to reach my machine and run the irc program on it [12:52] indus, Security software with no overhead that doesn't kill anything is always welcome, to me [12:52] iceroot, ok ill rephrase my questions tomorrow [12:52] indus: ok [12:52] iceroot, thanks [12:52] indus: Unlike Windows computers, linux/Ubuntu does not have any ports open by default that you need to block outsiders from connecting to, thus no need for firewall rules. [12:52] iceroot: maybe he is scared all the other ports he hasn't opened need a firewall [12:53] iceroot, but like you and many mentioned, having a static ip warrants a firewall?or setting up a web server warrants one? [12:53] indus, and I really don't care if the attacker is "theoretical" because if there's one out there, I'd rather not be the one pwned [12:53] * abhi_nav_ waiting for response [12:53] !patience | abhi_nav_ [12:53] abhi_nav_: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

[12:54] becker_11: or a bad apache-conf with the php-mail-function [12:54] rww: & indus: ok thnx [12:54] abhi_nav_: VM guests rely on the host for an internet connection. [12:54] iceroot: yeah true I strengthened mine when I installed ssh it's now 15 chars, symbols etc very strong [12:54] rww: hmmm [12:54] Personally I'm glad Ubuntu went with AppArmor and not SELinux (Though Tomoyo is nice too), as SELinux even with targeted likes to kill random things including the networkmanager applet, Windows programs in Wine, etc. [12:54] indus: your getting confused... first off If you run a web server it is usually a seperate computer only with content driven for internet ... Your home computer seeing files is driven for accessing data on that computer ... No need to run apache to see home computer files... web server is for hosting websites... yes can a webserver give you access to computer files ... what your doing is a bag opening up a bag of tricks... not set [12:54] How can I restart sound? [12:54] iceroot: it must be good I hate typing it [12:55] AppArmor is very unobtrusive and easy to use [12:55] i know archboxman [12:55] archboxman, experimenting [12:55] SELinux also likes to eat Tomboy sometimes :) [12:55] indus: find a forum and read up before you go installing stuff [12:56] well I suggest you understand coperate setups of server and client computer... [12:56] I'd call SELinux the kite eating tree of the Linux world [12:56] indus: try grc.com, computercops, majorgeeks etc all excellent forumns [12:56] ok thanks [12:56] but no problem, my system is useless data anyway [12:56] anyway I need to reboot [12:57] so a firewall blocks acess to ports in the system is that correct? or iam still wrong [12:57] unauthorised i mean [12:57] indus, blocks unsolicited inbound traffic, yes [12:58] aauuhmmm kk [12:58] indus: my home systems are.... just that useless.. mine is for entertianment not selling products or giving advice.... Gaming and Watching movies and pay bills... [12:58] is anyone having issue with volume in firefox on youtube? dont hear anything...(my rythmbox and system does fine) [12:58] indus, Most routers have an iptables firewall loaded and running anyway, but you can turn ufw one, it won't harm anything [12:58] Zus: everything is fine sound works great [12:59] how to change ubuntu splash screen?

I'd very much like to disable journaling in ext4, but I can't figure out how to do it from the installer (the graphical, live-cd one). Is it possible to do so. I've searched the web and found that I've got to enable something called "data=writeback" yet it doesn't seem possible from the GUI [14:01] sanguisdex: new swap uuid is "8c3a21d9-2bb1-4025-8fd9-ea2935bd2d6d" your home and root uuid's have not chanded afaik [14:01] sanguisdex: new swap uuid is "8c3a21d9-2bb1-4025-8fd9-ea2935bd2d6d" your home and root uuid's have not chanded afaics [14:01] goldensun: well it says hardware is supported , but a problem with ram...

[14:04] goldensun: not exactly, but I figure that video card is not working or the bios is not responding to finding the card... or linux kernel and bios are not talking.... [14:05] goldensun: this may just be a overall bad disk install [14:05] erUSUL: I see how that works thanks [14:05] but, so why it works when I restart X [14:05] Can someone tell me how to disable journaling in ext4? [14:05] I don't think it's a bas disk install as it did the same thing on other distribution [14:05] are there anyoone using a laptop toshiba U505 S2965wh im with a problems in my keyboard i use de note a lit bit and then the keyboard stops working and it just turn off and turn on again to work but now its keeping worst [14:06] goldensun: good question ... I would reinstall the OS this makes no sense why restarting the x server works... [14:06] maybe if I add "killall Xorg" on the /etc/rc.local, it will work [14:06] but isn't that too durty? [14:07] goldensun: I would say this is an install issue not a problem with suspending operations... that would be like saying the kernel is loading the xorg file before its time so it errors out...

I can login at the terminal and then run startx and it'll load gdm, but obviously I don't want to have to go through this everytime I reboot my pc, which is often. If I can drop back to xsplash that would be fine, I just need to get my graphical [16:23] greeter back up and running. Also when I go to System>Shutdown the Shutdown and Restart options are grayed out and I have to use a terminal or drop to tty to reboot or shutdown.

[17:16] drizzt_, try setting a different font for your console [17:16] cafuego: centos is next door, this is ubuntu [17:16] WizardOfOz: sounds like you want a proxy.. you'll probably have to pay for one of those.. or suffer very bad performance [17:16] Curly_Q: Perhaps you ashould ask in #centos, not #ubuntu [17:16] candy: why are you asking that here? [17:16] solid_liquid, like dpkg-reconfigure console-setuo? [17:16] slart dunno I had ghostsurf [17:16] slart for windows i need something like that for ubuntu [17:16] Orson, another thing, is it dangerous to use apt-get in root? [17:17] please, i need some way to join my wlan [17:17] drizzt_, no... a little more complicated than that. it's another kernel config ;) [17:17] Curly_Q, no [17:17] Curly_Q: only root can use apt-get [17:17] WizardOfOz, Google it [17:17] it's without password, and neiehter networkmanager nor wicd work [17:17] I have ubuntu 9.10 laptop version and like it soo much that i put the desktop version on my desktop everything works fine but I cannot get my broadband wireless connection to work. It will connect but not let me surf, I cannot find anything as to why. Any idea or suggestions on what I should look for? [17:17] I did an aptget with a client account. [17:17] timyeung meaning ? [17:17] Curly_Q: but most of options aren't allowed to do === Mowee is now known as Mowee`Bnc [17:18] come on, is this gentoo or something? [17:18] dandalion, how does your desktop connect to your broadband? [17:18] Curly_Q, if you used it with sudo that's same as root [17:18] WizardOfOz: from the ghostsurf website it only seems that it does some plain web filtering.. removing ads and adding some virus protection.. try firefox with adblock .. that should give you about the same functionality [17:18] So I need to establish an: sudo passwd root first? [17:18] Can some one get me a list of the best tools to use with Ubuntu Gnome desktop? [17:18] I see. [17:18] Curly_Q: no," sudo apt-get ...." [17:18] !best | look [17:18] look: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [17:18] I get it. [17:18] Curly_Q, if you wanto to log directly as root yes, otherwise just sudo [17:18] slart: nop it allows Encryption the data you're sending becomes anonymous [17:18] Therefore, sudo is a shortcut to root access. [17:18] drizzt_, you're just asking about uncommonly changed things today, which is why there aren't easy tools made for them [17:19] WizardOfOz, google proxy ubuntu see what pulls up [17:19] Curly_Q: "man sudo" [17:19] please, any idea what could i try? neither networkmanager nor wicd work with my access point [17:19] timyeung nop [17:19] it works when i use wep, but it won't when i disable ciper [17:19] I have a mobile device that i plug in, I put all my carriers info in the network connections under wireless broadband (like my laptops) [17:19] What a change from the old Red Hat. [17:19] WizardOfOz: then you're back at a proxy.. afaik that's the only way to become even slightly anonymous.. (and I'm not sure you're truly anon even using a proxy) [17:19] Curly_Q: no change at all, redhat has sudo too [17:19] !sudo | Curly_Q [17:19] 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. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [17:20] WizardOfOz: encryption doesn't make you anonymous [17:20] dandalion, I've never touched one of those devices, so I have no idea, sorry [17:20] dandalion, is wireless not working on your laptop? [17:20] there is no option uncheck launch in terminal in 9.10 when u create launcher there u got options type: application or terminal or location. name. and command: path to the script which suppose start application so when normally i type in a shell the name of this app it start. but hwne use launcher it start and close in 1 sec [17:21] It works on my laptop i can not get it to work on my desktop [17:21] slart well it does, if you are sending anonymous data/encrypted data the ISP can't really see what you're doing [17:21] Buenas a todos/as [17:21] researcher1: looks like it [17:21] !es | Maistux [17:21] Maistux: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [17:21] !es | Maistux [17:21] it should be "application"; btw why you neet a script to start an application? [17:21] dandalion, you obviously have a wireless card plugged into you desktop right? did it work in windows? [17:21] hi all [17:22] yes [17:22] WizardOfOz: that's true.. but being anonymous isn't the same as "my isp doesn't know what I'm doing on the net" [17:22] how do i fix syslog.conf? [17:22] True [17:22] slart so we have something like that for ubuntu ? [17:22] my module messages are not logged in the messages... [17:22] WizardOfOz: Maybe Tor? [17:22] on my desktop it connects but wont let me go online [17:22] kenshin, why don't you shows what your syslog.conf looks like (use pastebin) and we'll trying helping fix it [17:22] dandalion, try this : click system>administration> hardware drivers [17:22] stdisease, okie [17:22] :D [17:22] dandalion, is it the same exact kind of card in both? [17:22] I found another interesting one called edubuntu. Looks pretty cool for kids and instructors. [17:23] WizardOfOz: according to their site "your surfing is router through private anonymous hubs".. that sounds like proxies to me.. and those usually cost money [17:23] so cos my app is cd /mmm/mmmm/mmmm/mmmm then name.py -th and it start i wanted put a command and use launcher to start it instad type in shell ful path to this app [17:23] mmm: no such file or directory [17:23] Ignore the site ! [17:23] yeah... we swap it back and forth depending on what what machine we use [17:23] stdisease, http://pastebin.com/3HjmMqYU [17:23] !tor | Slart and WizardOfOz [17:23] Slart and WizardOfOz: Want to hide your IP while connected to freenode? See http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks More information available in #freenode [17:23] Soemthing to make my data encrypted sending it to the internet [17:23] overmind: no [17:23] Slart, WizardOfOz: Isn't only for freenode [17:23] dandalion, maybe you forgot a step you used on the laptop? [17:24] kenshin, does it give an error concerning any specific line? [17:24] WizardOfOz, overmind: last time I tried Tor it was unbearably slow.. might have become better now though [17:24] dandalion, you should see your network card in there. click on it and click activate. you should have your wireless card plugged in, and you should be hardwired into your network [17:24] Slart, WizardOfOz : I highly recommend a cloak [17:24] stdisease, no [17:24] i am trying module programming [17:24] kenshin, how did you know it's broken then? [17:24] meh [17:25] Slart: It works fine for me [17:25] someone in #kernelnewbies told me === Mowee`Bnc is now known as Mowee [17:25] can I find star rating for Ubuntu software anywhere? [17:25] my module doesnt log messages in the messages file [17:25] Slart: Speed depends of day, weekends, obviusly, works very fast, today... not too speed as yesteday :P [17:25] kenshin, when you said you wanted to fix it I assumed it's broken somehow. Ok.. [17:25] but i can see them after dmesg [17:25] ok I will give that a try [17:26] Something similar to ghostsurf :( [17:26] thanks [17:26] stdisease, the guy was sure it is broken.. [17:26] overmind: nice to know things have picked up... [17:26] I paid 20 dollars for GhostSurf [17:26] please guys, i need to join my passwordless router. neither networkmanager nor wicd can . could anybody guide me ? [17:26] I don't care paying something like for Linux [17:26] WizardOfOz: http://www.torproject.org/ [17:26] irc:///unomorphxt [17:26] dandalion, you should also up date your system while hardwired in. it helped when I had the same problem when I installed ubuntu on my laptop [17:26] Hello All. I have a 8.10 LTS 64 bit with 3 NIC interfaces. 2 of the interfaces are on one card. But when I do an ifconfig only two interfaces show up. How do I activate the third? [17:27] Thanks overmind [17:27] WizardOfOz: No problem :) [17:27] stdisease, so is there any problem? [17:27] hi [17:27] hi The_ManU_212 [17:27] I installed the lxde package and apt installed xscreensaver with it,and I've uninstalled lxde but now the ubuntu default screensaver won't activate,what can I do? [17:27] is there a way to configure launcher in ubuntu 9.10? any conf file etc? [17:27] kenshin, no that I can tell, except if there's a specific behavior you want to configure [17:27] is osd-notify also available for other linux distributions? [17:27] or for kde? [17:27] anyone know why i cant see my win drive in file manager ubuntu 9.10 I installed ubuntu with Wubi, is that why? [17:27] i like its appereance [17:27] stdisease, why wudnt my module log messages then? [17:27] WizardOfOz: I'm not sure how reliable this site is.. or the info they supply.. it might be a good place to start looking though http://proxy.org/ [17:27] Can I set up my RAID 5 through my BIOS or must I use mdadm? [17:28] The_ManU_212, yep [17:28] stdisease, anything u may know about it? [17:28] wickire2, try this : click system>administration>hardware drivers. see if it is in there and if it is click activate [17:28] kenshin, do any of the message you're looking for show up in /var/log/kern.log ? [17:28] The_ManU_212, it's a freedesktop.org standard [17:28] How do I scp through a firewall (which I have access to) to my computer? [17:28] umm [17:28] dint chk tht [17:28] slart: those are blocked by Chinese and Iranian Government [17:28] Maletor: Portforward them first. [17:29] Maletor, unblock (and forward if needed) port 22 [17:29] Flare-Laptop: I'd rather not port forward... maybe tunnel? [17:29] timyeung: Sorry. This was a server install. So no X server. I need to do it through the command line [17:29] stdisease, oh yes [17:29] they do [17:29] is there some console text editor which can use shift+keys to select text? [17:29] i can see them [17:29] wickire2, ooo sorry I can't help [17:29] Maletor: You can try [17:29] WizardOfOz: the site http://proxy.org is blocked? or the sites that are listed on it? [17:29] WizardOfOz, 'apt-get get install tor' they probably aren't blocking that one ;-) [17:29] all the messages... [17:29] Flare-Laptop: how would i do it? [17:29] timyeung: No promblem. Thanks for trying [17:30] solid_liquid: where can i download the source? and i ehard dke is not based on these freedesktop standards? [17:30] kenshin, good. problem solved then, I take it? [17:30] stdisease: No I mean proxy.org the proxies there are blocked [17:30] hello , How to install this ? http://nohands.sf.net/ ? [17:30] No good. [17:30] stdisease, hmmm [17:30] WizardOfOz: go with Tor then.. they'll have a hard time blocking that [17:30] Okay cheers [17:30] stdisease, lemme ask the #kernelnewbies guys if this is ok... :P [17:31] kenshin, show them your syslog.conf if it helps [17:31] wickire2, lspci to find out what type of NIC it is, then google for it to see what .ko kernel module is needed, then use lsmod and modprobe to make sure it's loaded and in use [17:31] wickire2, you may need to download another driver for it [17:31] stdisease, ok [17:31] The_ManU_212, google for the project homepage [17:32] alabd, try sudo apt-get install libhfp hfpd hfconsole [17:32] solid_liquid: thx [17:32] wickire2, np [17:32] how much of a threat are rootkits to ubuntu ? [17:32] timyeung: E: Couldn't find package libhfp [17:33] rob0917, very uncommon [17:33] rob0917, install rkhunter if you're worried about them [17:33] good [17:33] timyeung: also two other [17:33] alabd, you might need to add the repository for it [17:33] rob0917: google for "gnome-look malware screensaver" and decide [17:33] maybe but which ? timyeung [17:33] rob0917, you will be constantly attacked only if hosting webserver [17:34] alabd, hold on i'm am seeing what i can pull up here [17:34] thanks all [17:34] GeekSquid, i tried. it didn't help [17:35] GeekSquid, the title of error message xfce power manager. [17:35] anyone know why i cant see my win drive in file manager ubuntu 9.10 I installed ubuntu with Wubi from inside win blows, is that why? [17:35] I tried for a few hours lastnight to get the video driver installed on ubuntu 910 ... on an ispiron 8000 Dell laptop( ati 128mb mobility m4 rage) The current driver works but video/youtube runs slow. I think I am using a generic video driver...that isnt accelerated. Any ideas? I will keep on googling too. Seems this card has many issues with people. [17:36] I am trying to access my ubuntu desktop from my windows box using realvnc viewer on the windows box and i can control the ubuntu desktop just find but the screen doesnt refresh so I cannot see the current state. Anyone know why this is? [17:36] Hey for some reason when I try to open an iso file in Ubuntu which I know works (I used it in a VM) I don't see the contents of the iso [17:36] I just see a readme.txt file [17:36] is there a software repository for Ubuntu which also explain what this program is all about? [17:36] Aslo, some info, during installation i had to choose safe graphics Mode or the screen was layered in 3 and cutting some parts off. [17:36] The image itself is 3.7gb, so I know the data is there [17:37] Is there a reason I can't extract it? [17:37] anyone, after updating, after booting xfce power manager error: "hal deamon is not running". how can i make xfce power manager boot after hal deamon? [17:37] Samual, an iso is an image file not an archive [17:37] Samual: how did you mount it? [17:37] I know, but e.g. 7zip can read those normally (Or winrar) [17:37] researcher1, run aptitude, by itself, from the command line. it'll show you long descriptions for each package [17:38] dumdumz: iso can be opened with winrar and other archivers though [17:38] And I didn't mount it, I couldn't get it to mount with the mount command [17:38] alabd, oh I see... you have to build from source code. do you know how to do that? [17:38] anybody know if the security issues about acrobat extend to linux version of reader? [17:38] Samual, how are you opening it? [17:38] Samual, use 'mount -o loop' with the command [17:38] !iso [17:38] To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [17:38] Samual, you neet to use the -o loop flag to mount [17:38] If udf use -t udf [17:38] stdisease, I tried that, it complains that it can't find the iso in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [17:38] Does anyone know of a good database GUI client for ubuntu, preferably one that works with multiple types of databases? [17:38] I know [17:38] timyeung: should try [17:39] Oh I see [17:39] I forgot the mountpoint >.> hah [17:39] One sec. [17:39] Samual, mount -o loop myfile.iso mymountdir/ [17:39] K that worked. [17:39] Thanks. [17:39] hi guys [17:39] stdisease, he said it shud be normal [17:40] if the kern.log shows all the messages that dmesg does, it shud be fine [17:40] do you know how to remove a certain line from a text document / script without using an editor? i can pick the line with grep, but i dont know how to remove it [17:40] stdisease, thanks [17:40] kenshin, y/w [17:40] savid, the one from openoffice is supposedly good [17:40] ssn: use grep -v > newfile [17:41] how can i setup one user that all new users will clone settings from? (e.g. the hidden $HOME config directories like .purple for pidgin, .mozilla for firefox, xwindows/gnome/xfce/kde settings, etc.) [17:41] solid_liquid, oh, I didn't know it had one? [17:41] OR how can i clone an existing user when creating a new one? [17:42] monub, I use(d) adobe reader linux version with no security issues (but I had no issues with windows version so..) [17:42] orson: is there a more elegant solution? [17:42] savid, yep [17:42] "Well, this is a welcome surprise for those of us waiting for Ubuntu 10.04, the Lucid Lynx. Several users are reporting that their iPod Touches and iPhones (including the 3GS) work in alpha 3 - without tweaking, without jailbreaking, without patching - with Nautilus and Rythmbox." [17:42] cool :) [17:42] jelly-bean: /etc/skel/ is copied to new user's home directories when they are created. [17:42] because i would want to replace the file [17:42] the exact same file [17:42] jelly-bean: copy whatever you need to /etc/skel [17:42] if i do it with grep -v, then it would append it [17:43] thx Pici, orson [17:43] anyone, after updating, after booting xfce power manager error: "hal deamon is not running". how can i make xfce power manager boot after hal deamon? [17:43] ssn:then use sed, perl, awk === niko is now known as Guest79188 === nik0 is now known as niko [17:43] orson: because i dont know how, im asking here ;) [17:44] ssn: sed with the -i arugment can modifiy the initial file. Something like: sed -i s/^*.donotwant.*$// thefile would work [17:44] i know that it is somehow possible with these commands [17:44] Pici: thx [17:44] ssn: You can test using the command without the -i arugment and it will print the modifcation to stdout. Just put -i in when you want it to make the changes. [17:44] jelly-bean, you put all the conf files in /etc/profile.d/ [17:45] no luck [17:45] Pici: it does not work [17:45] when I did the driver check it didnt register it and said no drivers found [17:45] alabd, goto this site and read the documentation http://nohands.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/nohands/trunk/ [17:46] jelly-bean, er sorry, in /etc/skel [17:46] oh, someone answered already heh [17:46] GeekSquid, it didnt help. still after booting xfce power manager error: "hal deamon is not running". how can i make xfce power manager boot after hal deamon? [17:46] Hello, can anyone help me with some troubles I'm having with cd playing since I disabled pulseaudio using this tutorial http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2009/04/21/ubuntu-904-jaunty-keeping-the-beast-pulseaudio-at-bay/ ?

[18:13] yes [18:13] Azelphur: doesn't mean it can't be interpolated, i guess [18:13] Infinito: so it should appear right away? [18:13] Juliata, unless the subtitles can't be turned off in the player, which means they're actually part of the image stream of the video rather than being stored as text [18:13] carmentina: do you have an ubuntu support question?

[18:24] Maletor, BIOS [18:24] solid_liquid, is that preferred over mdadm? [18:24] Maletor, hardware raid is better than software raid [18:25] until your raid controler breaks and you can't for your life find a replacement. [18:25] I think that my BIOS RAID 5 may be software...? fake raid... there is very little to no information about it on google [18:25] hey guys. i installed netbook remix...but somehow it works along with the normal desktop interface...how could i get rid of it? [18:25] solid_liquid: why should software raid be worse than fakeraid? [18:25] Will it be easy to grow to 4 drives after I set up the 3 and it is working? [18:26] solid_liquid, Maletor: hardware raid is only better if it is a REAL one, not a consumer on-board one [18:26] m [18:26] Maletor, if there's a bios utility for it, it may be HW raid [18:26] nibbler: i'm pretty sure it's a on-board RAID === spinner is now known as Oystein [18:26] it's m4a79xtd evo [18:26] newegg says it has contollers for 0,1,and 5 [18:27] Maletor, oh hmm... [18:27] Maletor, you should know if you spend another $500 for a raidcontroller or not :p [18:27] ya my motherboard was ~100 [18:27] oh, sw [18:27] Maletor: very likely fakeraid [18:27] just use mdadm then [18:27] so it is a fake raid right? probably only compatible with widows too [18:28] Why doesn't DESKTOP DRAPES start when I first boot up? === network is now known as Guest2307 [18:29] where is mysqldriver library located in ubuntu ?

[18:33] Crimius: yeah [18:33] coldfire, and you have to set your .bashrc or .bash_profile to run fortune when you login [18:34] hello all [18:34] is openvz available on the default obm repos ? [18:34] why use openvz when you have kvm? [18:34] would there be any way (or another program) to do a "tail -f" but filter out certain lines? [18:34] cellofellow, I'd like to setup a VPS [18:34] solid_liquid: do i just have to edit a file? [18:34] coldfire, and if you want the fortunes to be a lot funnier, install the offensive fortune datafiles and the bofh-excuses ones as well [18:35] coldfire, yeah, ~/.bashrc [18:35] solid_liquid: Thanks! [18:35] wathek: yeah, and you can do that with kvm. Most VPSs you can buy use OpenVZ (or its commercial brother Virtuozzo) or they use Xen. But, I've seen a few with KVM, nothing wrong with KVM. [18:35] coldfire, np [18:36] coldfire: use ~/.profile [18:36] cellofellow, really I dunno what to use so if you say that kvm is a good alternative it's OK [18:36] :D [18:36] wathek: with libvirt and virt-manager, setting up a VM server with KVM is really easy. It's the official Ubuntu supported method for virtualization. [18:37] cellofellow, aw I see !

[19:19] Hi room [19:19] need help with tor or another proxy [19:20] mido_: rm == remove, what you want is a wrapper around "mv" [19:20] I set up tor just like they said on the site but I could not connect to IRC with it and my connection was hell slow [19:20] hi [19:20] Zeo: jap [19:20] how to prevent some users from using rm command ? [19:20] <`mOOse`> Zeo - the slow is a characteristic of tor [19:20] mido_, orson what's the context? [19:20] where can I get a regular proxy then?

[19:22] <`mOOse`> Zeo many ircs block tor because people misuse it [19:22] goldensun: man mount [19:22] I don't only mean mounting an iso, but having a virtual cd drive which appears in /dev/ [19:22] mido_, it's fairly involved and you need to know how to manage user and group permissions [19:22] frostburn, thnx [19:22] I could stick with web proxies but its quite an effort [19:22] I have 2 questions. In 8.04.03, I could plug my HP Officejet G55 into my USB port and it would "Just Work" and couls easilly print documents. However, I recently did a fresh reinstall of 9.10 and now my printer dose not print, It shows in the dialouges and even starts a print job, and then says "completed" but my printer sits there like a rock. So my first question is "How much of a 'campaign contribution' did canoical receive from canon to mak [19:22] e them agree to remove support for HP products" and will the official slogan be changed to "Ubuntu: It Just Works (unless HP make it)" [19:22] mido_: you will have to remove all apps which have a "delete" option too [19:22] <`mOOse`> Zeo - for irc try mibbit.com [19:22] mido_, in short you'll want to make /usr/bin readable only to your rmgroup then add users to the rmgroup [19:23] py unload pretome.py [19:23] lol === jon is now known as Guest42638 [19:23] Hi room, I'm trying to get my Gnome terminal to beep on Ubuntu 9.04 using the echo -e '\a' command but not a sound.

[19:33] Elijah1, yes, but migrating logs is a pain [19:33] frostburn: How would I go about the portable part of it? [19:33] goldensun http://cdemu.sourceforge.net/ [19:33] Pici: i read ubuntu starts by default in runlevel 2 [19:33] Elijah1, basically all you need to do is make a symlink from .purple to your dropbox folder [19:33] is there some way for me to disable desktop effects from the commandline? [19:33] hey guys... [19:33] Pici: ok, i'll disable the gdm [19:34] some kind of gconf setting maybe? [19:34] muri_one: metacuty --replace [19:34] aruntomar: Yes, but switching to runlevel3 isn't going to change anything.

[19:34] Elijah1, check out this article http://lifehacker.com/5358983/use-dropbox-for-more-than-just-file-syncing [19:34] yes it des [19:34] does [19:34] why does firefox just crumble compared to google chrome in ubuntu 64bit [19:34] anyone in here an ubuntu member? [19:34] xangua: thank you sir. metacity --replace did the trick [19:34] firefox just can't handle 64-bit flash at all [19:34] Maletor, define crumble [19:34] Say I have Ubuntu laptop and Ubuntu tower, I want Dropbox to sync them so they are using the same identical Pidgin, settings and all. [19:34] frostburn, very poor performance [19:35] Elijah1, yep i used to do that, but stopped because of log sizes on my netbook [19:35] adobe is still diong beta for 64 bit [19:35] it's kind of pathetic about that company [19:35] Maletor, because flash for 64bit is not mature [19:35] they can't even get on teh iphone [19:35] frostburn: Wow, you must have some large logs [19:35] Elijah1, several gb [19:35] Elijah1: there is a way to make pidgin use the directory yo utell it to use to load preferences [19:35] frostburn: Yikes! [19:35] Elijah1: better ask in #pidgin ;) [19:35] there if no config file somewhere ? what happen i want to create launcher so make script with command after that create launcher so open it chose terminall and command with link to the script so what happen when i click on launcher the app start in terminal and in 1sec it closes so there must be some option like in interpid "dont close terminal"over here in 9.10 i cant find that option so im looking for some config file responsible for that lau [19:35] ncher [19:35] Elijah1: move ~/.pidgin to ~/Dropbox, then symlink it back to ~. (mv ~/.pidgin ~/Dropbox; ln -s ~/Dropbox/.pidgin ~/.pidgin) [19:35] Maletor, apple doesn't allow flash on the iphone not an adobe issue, but that is OT [19:35] i don't know i guess i'm just hopeful that firefox and flash can live in harmony.... [19:35] #pidgin won't let me in right now since I am not identifie [19:36] Elijah1: then identify [19:36] Elijah1: then you can symlink ~/Dropbox/.pidgin to ~/.pidgin on your other box.

[19:37] haffe i tried that [19:37] Elijah1, yes they are in regards to a /home directory can usually be used by any other linux distro without too much issue [19:38] Elijah1: not necessarily. Some put there settings in gconf which isn't really "portable" from one system to another. Ubuntu seems to be promoting CouchDB which will allow data to be easily replicated between machines directly or via Ubuntu One. [19:38] guntbert: Meaning, I could run it off a flash drive if I just copied its folder? Windows programs are not like that, usually. [19:38] Elijah1: if they were statically linked, yes [19:38] This doesn;t seem to get my internal speaker working ... hmm sudo modprobe pcspkr [19:38] cmc [19:38] Elijah1: neither are most linux apps - they use shared libraries and if those are missing .... [19:38] Elijah1, yes that would work, although you'd need to specify where to read the settings from when starting pidgin -cCONF_DIR [19:39] Hi, I can't log in to MSN messenger using any client - Empathy, centerim, finch, the web messenger client in firefox, etc. HOw can I go about debugging this?

Many computers don't ( in 9.10 the hardware beep is disabled but gnome-terminal uses the system alert sound instead ) [19:45] niko-mojo, So in 9.04, IIRC, if you don't have a hardware beep you won't hear anything from echo -e '\a' [19:45] Hey I have a t4300 intel processor, I think it's 64 bit. If I install ubuntu 64 bit version will 32 bit aplications work fine? Is the 64 version of ubuntu stable? Advantages of installing 64 bit versions? Or should I get the 32? Thanks! [19:45] frostburn: pidgin tells me that my connection was refused [19:45] Jordan_U how can I tell if I have a hardware beep ? [19:45] niko-mojo, One way you can test if you have hardware beep is by installing the "beep" package and running "beep" [19:46] frostburn: slight update, seems that web-messenger does work, but i'd much rather have a decent client running :D [19:46] robinking623: lspci | grep -i cardbus [19:46] hey, got a minor problem with my ubuntu netbook remix [19:46] serverduck: 1) yes 2) yes 3) more adressable memory; some things are faster some are slower 4) personal choice unless you have more than 3.5 GiB of ram or so [19:47] my screens really dark, when it idles, it actually gets brighter [19:47] serverduck: I've got the same intel processor, and it rocks on Ubuntu 64bit [19:47] Jordan_U beep made no sound [19:47] I have 4 gb of ram [19:47] serverduck: I've got 3 [19:47] hello everyone [19:47] frostburn: What file contains the configuration settings for Pidgin?

I've never tried to use it with other users. Hrm.

[20:43] in ubuntu whenever i install a pkg...it says do it from terminal by sudo dpkg...something....can anybody help me to install packages which are in a folder on my desktop [20:44] hi, im looking for someone who can help me on an authentication issue with svnserve [20:44] brb, going to try something different... [20:44] ayush_aggrwl: dpkg -i ~/Desktop/*.deb [20:44] histo: to have more up-to-date packages available than with Debian sid, generally speaking. Both, really, and I really don't need a lecture about it :) it's sort of a desktop home server gateway laboratory or grab-bag box [20:44] Nolan2: doens't boot into windows is not a great description of the problem [20:44] ayush_aggrwl: sudo dpkg -i Or you can double click them. [20:44] hello everyone. anybody has had problems with MICROPHONE under ubuntu? i'm using JAUNTY. [20:44] er .. more up-to-date than with debian Lenny, which is what it's runnign right now [20:44] to many qestions :D:D [20:44] but where to specify the package location [20:44] combunio: unrar fails becouse it thinks that first rar file is empty [20:44] gimbal: well server and desktop will both have the same packages the kernel is the difference [20:45] histo: ahhh, I see. [20:45] I am also on this site as well: http://linuxwireless.org/ [20:45] <`mOOse`> hi, I had a thing, and then a thing happened, and then this other thing happened, and I don't know what happened but can you help me please? [20:45] histo: thanks [20:45] * `mOOse` runs! [20:45] Well, what other way can I put it? [20:45] gimbal: there is also backports repository if you want newer packages then are availible in the main release [20:45] erUSUL: so how to solve that problem if i want to unrar ALL of archieves ? [20:45] albacker: what kind of problems? [20:45] combunio: try this « for file in *.rar; do rar x "$file" ; done [20:45] histo: awesome; much appreciated [20:45] gimbal: the alternate iso allows you to do a text based install vs. the desktop iso which is gui [20:45] It looks like it's going to load, but it just displays a blinking _ [20:45] how do I view display :0.0 via ssh under 9.0.4 (JAUNTY) [20:45] And does nothing. [20:45] histo: /nods heh . thanks [20:45] combunio, for i in *part1.rar; do unrar e $i; done [20:46] gimbal: there are also ppa's etc... but ubuntu is ever 6 months new version avialible that will prompt you for upgrade t that new verison 10.04 is the next one coming out. [20:46] nibbler: as i remember that was exactly that command! this time will write it down ;) [20:46] Nolan2 have you tried reinstalling ubuntu? [20:46] Malkavian, i can't record using the sound recorder tool and i can't skype. well if i hit the mic (internal mic, just at the side of the keyboard) very hard i can hear a lil bit.. but it's impossible to hear any voice recorded. [20:46] * gimbal guesses dist-upgrade works smoother with ubuntu [20:46] blakkheim: do i have to put sudo before that command [20:46] Yeah Olu, It does the same thing. [20:46] gimbal: yes [20:46] ayush_aggrwl: yes [20:47] combunio, better try to understand it, so you dont have to remember anything...... [20:47] gimbal: but I just keep a seperate /home partition and reinstall some times. [20:47] nibbler: YEAP, that's what i've been looking for, thanks a lot :D [20:47] histo: niiice. ok [20:47] how do I view display :0.0 via ssh under 9.0.4 (JAUNTY) [20:47] same here histo [20:47] gimbal: i've also used the dist-upgrade in the past. [20:47] albacker: have you tried to make louder? [20:47] acovrig: what are you trying to do exactly? [20:47] nibbler: i dont think i'm gonna remember that ;p too difficult :D [20:47] The Windows Boot files are still there, and the OS is too. [20:48] Malkavian, to make louder? what do you mean. i have shouted to the mic and i cant hear anything.. only if i really shout hard!!! but that's not a solution and the volumes are max. [20:48] !who | Nolan2 [20:48] Nolan2: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [20:48] histro, view/control display :0.0 via ssh remotely (I can't forward vnc) :( [20:48] nibbler: you saved my time, thx A LOT once again ;) [20:48] cya all [20:48] Sorry about that histo. [20:48] That was to Olu. [20:48] one way to make louder is right clicking and adjusting 'sound preferences' [20:48] acovrig: I don't think you are going to be able to with out vnc or some other solution. You can do X forwarding but that won't be the whole session. [20:49] ubottu is a program i think [20:49] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:49] acovrig: you can run vnc over ssh [20:49] does installing more and more packages in ubuntu makes it slow?... like installing more and more softwares in windows makes windows slow? [20:49] histo, how [20:49] !bot | Olu :) [20:49] Olu :): Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots [20:49] OK, so now I'm having issues with Seahorse. When I try to import my key into Seahorse, it says its an invalid file.. but it works perfectly fine if I use ssh-add. [20:50] its an RSA PRIVATE KEY [20:50] '~$ ls ~/.ssh/ ; authorized_keys id_rsa id_rsa.pub known_hosts other_keys.seahorse'. [20:50] Nolan2 are you trying to remove Windows to install Linux? [20:50] ayush_aggrwl: no [20:50] how do I encrypt my ssh connections, how do I know if they are? [20:50] acovrig: they are [20:50] Nope Curly_Q, I'm just trying to dual boot into Windows lol. [20:50] acovrig: ssh is encrypted by definition [20:50] acovrig: trying to find the vnc over ssh tutorial for you [20:51] !vnc [20:51] 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 [20:51] acovrig, sniff the traffic, you wont see anthing. do the same with telnet [20:51] If I wanted to remove windows that would be easy, Curly_Q [20:51] histo, tnks [20:51] Nolan2 do you have two logical partitions on the Hard Drive? [20:51] nibbler, do u know what airsnort is? [20:51] Yes. [20:51] I needz halp! [20:51] acovrig, sure [20:51] ayush_aggrwl: are they .deb [20:51] acovrig: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC The port forwarding section explains it [20:51] ryan_: talk english please [20:51] bullgard, is that for my issue? [20:51] Anyone here good with mplayer? [20:51] How can I make a bootable USB for a distro other than ubuntu, such as WindowsXP? [20:52] Have you done an fdisk/mbr on the windows portion before installing Windows? [20:52] Crimius: yes ..they are [20:52] ryan_, good luck :p [20:52] ryan_: windows xp is not a distro :S [20:52] Nolan2: i would try this, resotre windows bootloader. (you need a windows installcd ask in ##windows) if windows boots ok after that. reinstall grub following instructions in !grub2. hope for the best [20:52] albacker: have you tried the Karmic live cd? [20:52] !grub2 [20:52] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [20:52] acovrig: basically ssh -L 5900:localhost:5900 acovrig@remote.server.address [20:52] ryan_: unetbootin [20:52] xangua, welll technically.... [20:52] fdisk/MBR also removes any Linux Loader. [20:52] nibbler: fine, OS. You guys know what I mean -.- [20:52] Curly_Q: Nope. [20:52] mjs7231: No. Please excuse me. [20:52] acovrig: then use a vnclient and point it at localhost:5900 to view it === GhostEyes is now known as RainbowEyes [20:53] ayush_aggrwl: sorry, my client wasn't scrowling, did somebody solve your issue with it already? [20:53] Okar erUSUL, I'll try that. [20:53] no [20:53] bullgard, lol np, its just a similar issue I suppose. :) [20:53] hey [20:53] ryan_, this is ubuntu support... [20:53] peentelefoon: nederlands? [20:53] Then I'll probably use Wubi to install Ubuntu, rather than the LiveCD. [20:53] A blinking cursor just means no formatting or OS. [20:53] for the show desktop plugin in ccsm, i don't see any option to activate [20:53] crimus: no [20:53] nibbler: it is, i'm trying to do this INSIDE of ubuntu. [20:53] Nolan2, wubi only brings pain [20:54] yep [20:54] hi guys [20:54] vl of nl? [20:54] i have a question [20:54] Curly_Q, Idk... [20:54] jadakren, why so? [20:54] r'dam [20:54] !ask | snb [20:54] snb: 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. :-) [20:54] alright maybe I can answer this on my own, but I wouldn't mind a live answer if available: If I install Ubuntu onto a disk having two partitions only (one swap, one regular filesystem) and the regular-fs part has my home dir on it, can I install Ubuntu onto that partition without wiping out Home? [20:54] ryan_: windows cannot be made bootable from USB [20:54] !ot | Stargaze [20:54] Stargaze: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [20:54] McAwesome, open the general tab of the ccsm instead [20:55] gimbal: no [20:55] how can i add additional language in the language bar of ubuntu? [20:55] erUSUL: got it; figures as much heh [20:55] Stargaze: Um, yes it can. I've done it before. Just not inside Ubuntu. [20:55] hello [20:55] snb: system>Admin>language support [20:55] I've lost my configure sound icon on gnome, how can I reenable it? [20:55] ryan_, thats about as close as having a windows-cd on a reformatted ubuntu-cd to me :) [20:55] oh but if I sprinkle pixie-dust on the CD first?? (j/k heh) [20:55] i'll give a try thanks erUSUL [20:56] use gparted and make 8GB seperate first [20:56] Nolan2, because the filesystem health of a wubi install relies on the healthly defragmentation levels of a ntfs partition ... (since the wubi partition is nought but a file on a ntfs drive) [20:56] ayush_aggrwl: you should be able to just dbl click it, if not then run sudo dpkg -i [package_name] [20:56] is there a way to get gnome remote desktop (vino) with the java viewer? i can do it in tightvncviewer and x11vnc... perhaps there is a vino+x11vnc trick/hackaround to get the java viewer in vino? [20:56] Stargaze, you can boot Windows from a USB: http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-22_11-5928902.html [20:56] How long has "Connect to Server" had support for ssh? Why didn't someone tell me about this awesome feature? :) [20:56] I see. [20:56] most windows and mac users dont have vncviewer install, but they usually have java installed [20:56] well, I'm going to try what you said erUSUL [20:57] ZykoticK9: because it got lost among the gogoplex other new features available among all open source apps? :) [20:57] jadakren, ah, i see, thanks [20:57] Nolan2: good luck [20:57] jcole: well the java viewer should work with vino [20:57] McAwesome, compizconfig-settings-manager > general > [key bindings] \/ Show Desktop << is this option set to a key binding ? [20:57] jcole: i thought vino was just another vnc server [20:57] I've lost my configure sound icon on gnome, how can I reenable it? [20:57] erUSUL, thanks :) [20:57] histo: vino is like an x11vnc [20:57] Hello. I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 on my (very old) laptop. This laptop doesn't have USB2 natively, so I'm using a PC Card to add USB2 ports. When I try to transfer files to or from my USB-enclosure, Ubuntu hangs and must be rebooted. [20:57] I having a problem with sendmail not delivering some of my mail, if anyone could please have a look: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1419213 [20:58] histo: but i have no idea how to enable java viewer support [20:58] jcole: yes just point the java viewer at the same port and ip should work [20:58] TLF, 1st try rick lick removing he notification tray and re inserting it [20:58] jadakren, there are two: one with a kb, and one with a pc. the kb one is set to something but the kb one is not [20:58] TLF, click* [20:58] histo: you startted it manually? [20:58] I am having a problem with a audio codec in video playback : http://pastebin.com/vgC7ajsF [20:58] McAwesome, hopefully setting it will get you your desires [20:58] histo: how? im using the tighvnc java applet [20:58] yeah, it does [20:58] jadakren, thanks [20:58] jcole: is vino running? [20:59] histo: but i have no idea how to get vino to load the tightvnc java applet [20:59] histo: yes [20:59] hello all [20:59] jcole: vino doesn't load the tightvnc java applet. [20:59] McAwesome, if you have problems with changing the mouse bindings for window scale (mouse drag resize a window) let me know [20:59] jcole: is apache installed on the machine? [20:59] hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh [20:59] jadakren, ok [20:59] ubuntu [20:59] hello [21:00] hello in spanidh [21:00] histo: i see, you are saying to start a web server that embeds the java applet into an html page [21:00] jadakren, btw, in compiz on opensuse, the water plugin had many more effects [21:00] why not on ubuntu? [21:00] ubuntu i've a question [21:01] McAwesome, can you join#ubuntu-offtopic and post a link to some videos for me about that [21:01] http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/restricted/b/bcmwl/ there is my broadcom wireless driver that hardware drivers installs (STA 5.10.91.9) but there is a newer one in there but its not installing it, its using the older one.? [21:01] jcole: yes [21:01] jcole: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-107503.html [21:01] McAwesome, did you install compiz-fusion-plugins-extra [21:01] don't think so mjs7231 [21:01] I'm trying to set up a rudimentary apache server just to share a bunch of files in a directory on an NTFS volume. But no matter what I do to set it up, apache returns permission denied when trying to access that directory. If I change the alias I use to point to /opt, it works, but when I change it back to /main (NTFS volume), it doesn't. What am I doing wrong? [21:01] McAwesome, Go install that and see if you get more stuff showing up in the settings manager [21:01] Hi - I have a problem with sound. It used to work fine, then I opened the 'sound recorder' and ever since then I lost sound. I have since realised that the gstreamer packages were for some reason removed, so I have reinstalled them and music players no longer complain, but I still dont have sound. Everything looks hunky doory in alsamixer - any thoughts? [21:02] jcole: you can use the one int he repo however === mackal is now known as mackal_ === MK-1 is now known as MK-BB [21:02] kerebrus, have you install dvd support on your system? [21:02] is there any risk of enabling the PAE kernel on my Ubuntu desktop? [21:02] mjs7231, '' [21:02] histo: apache is a little heavy, can i use "python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000" instead... python will allow you to temporarily start a mini web server [21:02] oops === mackal_ is now known as mackal [21:03] it says that package is already the latest version mjs7231 [21:03] ZykoticK9 no just mplayer and vlc [21:03] tristanbob__: depends if you have compiled out of tree drivers (you will have to recompile them) [21:03] McAwesome, Then you do already have it. Thus, you reached the extent of my knowledge on the topic. :) [21:03] hey guys i've a question can someone help me please [21:03] brasero blanking refuses to blank my cd-rw, error 0, no message [21:03] kerebrus, http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/enable-dvd-video-playback i think after you install that it won't have problems with the audio [21:03] !ask | CRACKBOY [21:03] CRACKBOY: if it's about ubuntu we will all try [21:03] CRACKBOY: 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. :-) [21:04] Ubuntu 8.04 [21:04] thx [21:04] erUSUL, no, just standard ubuntu kernel.

It's on 64 bit, and modprobe compat-ioctl32 lets'me hang (fatal, no module..), Where can I get compat-ioctl32 ?

This fixed my problems, but i no longer can use the system sound preferences and i don't have a system tray icon that controls volume. (media keys controlling volume don't work either) is there any way to fix this? [21:09] tiki, i find this strange because i dont remove pulseaudio yet skype works wonderfully with pulsaudio for me [21:09] Stargaze i know about apt-get but in backtrack 4 how to desinstall kde3 because they start together 4 and 3 :s !!! [21:09] erUSUL, thanks! I will do this "sudo apt-get install linux-generic-pae linux-headers-generic-pae" [21:09] Tiders: i dunno sorry. maybe in #ubuntu-server have some ideas [21:09] ZykoticK9 just restarted after installing and running script and it still gives same error [21:09] tristanbob__: ok [21:10] !backtrack | CRACKBOY [21:10] CRACKBOY: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes.

[21:10] Ok man [21:10] jadakren: skype would only let me use the default sound output. I could not set it to output through my headset instead of my speakers. Someone on this IRC suggested that I remove pulseaudio, and it fixed that problem. (It used to only say "PulseAudio Server (local)" and now it lists all of my audio hardware. [21:10] is this Ubuntu salen? [21:10] CRACKBOY: ubuntu support only [21:11] ah right :) [21:11] sorry [21:11] ZykoticK9 what is the command for running in x11 and gl as vo outputs [21:11] tiki, doesn't pulseaudio control where the sound goes ? [21:11] Ok how i can get the newest Source list of Apt-get ? [21:11] kerebrus, "mplayer -vo x11 $file" and -"vo gl" [21:11] jadakren: It does, but skype could only let it take the default output [21:11] i find always the old version of softwares with mine [21:11] CRACKBOY: on ubuntu ? [21:12] yeh [21:12] CRACKBOY: what version of ubuntu ? [21:12] 9 [21:12] jadakren: if you know a way to get around this with pulseaudio, please help me. [21:12] CRACKBOY: 9 what ?

[21:13] ZykoticK9 Running both ways still gives same error as before: Cannot find codec for audio format 0x50.

[21:17] CRACKBOY: don't build from source unless you %100 know what you're doing and how to manage custom packages/application [21:17] but amsn is not the newest [21:17] CRACKBOY: you're using an old version of ubuntu [21:17] kerebrus, try throwing "-alang en" and test [21:17] oh really !!! [21:17] CRACKBOY: 8.10 is October 2008 release [21:17] tiki, some apps will only use one particular sound server, wine for example used to only want to use OSS, so to get wine apps to work with ALSA you had to wrap them with aoss.... [21:17] thanx nibbler [21:17] hey guys. i asked already and tried a lot of things...but did anybody successfully install looking glass on karmic? [21:18] marek i tried it too and it didn't work [21:18] how i can update it ? [21:18] tiki, same concept here with padsp and pulseaudio === GhostEyes is now known as RainbowEyes [21:18] !upgrade | CRACKBOY [21:18] CRACKBOY: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [21:18] ZykoticK9 http://pastebin.com/LABaPbHb [21:18] oké ! [21:18] Stargaze: did you have problems with the repos and then the post-installation script? [21:18] hello [21:18] tiki, but i don't have the problem you're having since my laptop just turns speakers off when i plug in headphones [21:19] don't remember marek_ [21:19] i would like to compile a program that's available as a package, and i'd like the program to overwrite that package, how can i do this? [21:19] Stavros, start by uninstalling the program [21:19] ZykoticK9 now im not having this problem for all iso vids just 2 [21:19] nibbler: what will that accomplish? [21:19] jadakren: I read the padsp page, and it seems easy enough to use. I sort of understand how it works. I'm goign to install it now and report how it works out. [21:20] Saikor: compile the prorgram with the same parameters as the package and install it [21:20] think you ikonia very very much !!! i found the tool of upgrade!!!!!! [21:20] ikonia: is there an easy way to learn the parameters, though? [21:20] ikonia: like, which directory it goes in, etc === kslen^^ is now known as kslen [21:20] Stavros, it will stop avoid having consuing installations next to each other. check checkinstall for the rest [21:20] prefix [21:20] can i join a loco team if the state is close with mine own? [21:20] nibbler: they won't be next to each other, they'll be on top of each other [21:20] Stavros: not really, you have to unpackage it and look at the options [21:20] i.e. i'll only have the second one [21:20] ikonia: hmm, i see [21:20] tiki, be aware that its a part of pulseaudio, so installing it will bring pulseaudio back. [21:20] ikonia: is there an easy way to do that? [21:20] nibbler: man tcpdump is really large, what exactly should i use? [21:20] Olu: you sure can [21:21] jadakren: ^_^ got it! [21:21] Ikonia when i update kde to 4 in start window i make the root password he said "root login not allowed" why? [21:21] so i [21:21] login with console [21:21] !!!

[21:22] hah ok [21:22] sorry [21:22] so i understand that i should make another account ? [21:22] CRACKBOY: yes, your usr account [21:22] can't login with root ? [21:22] !root | CRACKBOY [21:22] kerebrus, do you know is it AAC audio? you might be able to check in VLC somehow (do you have it installed? i don't use it so not really an expert in vlc, but saw something mentioned about file properties) [21:22] CRACKBOY: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [21:23] hello [21:23] ZykoticK9 i have vlc installed but it does not play the audio on that file either [21:23] i need the access, yes but im tired with tayping sudo sudo sudo !!!!! can i make crackboy account with root power? [21:23] hi there [21:23] kerebrus, but can it tell us the audio format? [21:23] what is the best way to copy lot of files over network? [21:23] CRACKBOY: sudo bash [21:23] CRACKBOY: also look at sudo -i [21:23] CRACKBOY: if you have to ask - you shouldn't as it's dangerous [21:24] Stavros: no, launching a shell like that is not recommended [21:24] nibbler: i get 0 pckets to all (captures, droped by the kernel and received by filter) [21:24] ikonia: oh hmm, why not? [21:24] can someone help me to set a counter-strike 1.6 server on linux??? [21:24] okey, i should left because i feel you be angry lol,^^ thx as always and can i found you here everytimes?

[21:25] CRACKBOY: what does that matter ? [21:25] how come if i redirect like so, it leave an empty file "sort filename > filename" [21:25] !cli [21:25] ZykoticK9 mpga [21:25] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

[21:25] cp -f geine [21:25] ikonia: hmm, sudo -s is even better [21:25] abstrakt: sudo, and a text editor [21:25] how come if i redirect like so, it leave an empty file "sort filename > filename" [21:25] Stavros: yes, that can work well too [21:25] sudo echo "foo" >> /etc/hosts gives permission denied [21:25] Geine: network will determaine your speed, not command [21:26] abstrakt: sudo won't work on echo. [21:26] KB1JWQ, uhhh, via shell scripting? [21:26] jasunto: it's returning no results [21:26] abstrakt: echo "new line to add" | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts [21:26] CRACKBOY, or rsync ? [21:26] hmm [21:26] erUSUL, ok what's tee? [21:26] abstrakt: If you want to use echo, you'll have to pipe via tee [21:26] k [21:26] if i do sort filename it does on screen [21:26] kerebrus, dude i have no idea then? sorry man. best of luck, hope you find someone with an answer. [21:26] abstrakt: or sudo sh -c 'echo "foo" >> /etc/hosts' [21:26] abstrakt: man tee [21:26] abstrakt: man tee [21:26] ikonia: hmm, actually sudo -s is the same as sudo bash [21:26] ZykoticK9 well thanks anyways [21:26] the home folder is the user's home, which can overwrite files [21:26] i was doing cat /etc/hosts | sed -e "s/..../...../" > /etc/hosts [21:27] so it's not very nice indeed [21:27] yeah or you could just tell me the gist [21:27] but whatever, i'll man tee [21:27] jasunto: sort filename > filename.tmp && mv filename.tmp filename [21:27] i sort filename and get what i want on screen, the sort filename > filename and i get empty file [21:27] ill try thanks [21:27] why can't I modprobe compat-ioctl32 ? it's in the kernel ( well, should be, as the bot says) [21:28] jasunto, you cannto use same file for in+output [21:28] ikonia: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6188826&postcount=4 apparently, sudo -i is the recommended mode, thanks for that [21:28] DasEi: what are you trying to do ?

[22:04] no, ubuntu 8.04 [22:04] CamFox: the share is stup on windows 7..and i am trying to connect with ubuntu 8.04 [22:04] Hi, I need help setting up my partitions for running Ubuntu on an external hard drive. What kinds of partitions do I need to make and what are the recommended sizes? [22:04] does anyone here have any familiarity with usb midi and ubuntu 9.10? [22:04] Oh, you can probably put in the name of the server, i.e. the name after the @ symbol at your command prompt. [22:05] nullp0inter: ignore that, then. [22:05] Use the name of your windows 7 box, ask me if you don't know how to find this... [22:05] tiki: if you start skype, log in, then richt-click the icon in top-bar > options [22:05] CamFox: that goes in the Server part? [22:05] My navigation tree section is gone in nautilus. anyone know how to get it back. i have looked in settings and show location is checked. im at loss. [22:05] nullp0inter: yeah [22:06] how do I make a .sh file run automaticly on startup?? [22:06] tiki: under audio you can set it's preferences [22:06] (and once test them) [22:06] m_fulder, put path to it into /etc/rc.local [22:06] I've tried to add it to System->Perferences->StartUp applications but it won't start won boot :S [22:06] CamFox: ok, so my share folder is D:\NETWORK_SHARE ..how do i fill in 'Share' and 'Folder' [22:06] aha oki will do [22:07] CamFox: can Share be D:\? [22:07] hi, I'm looking for help setting up my partitions to install Ubuntu 9.10 on my external hard drive. Please, someone help me [22:07] Baati: the installer should set it up for you [22:07] dimuls, where do I put my path in the file? before exit 0 = [22:07] the problem is, that the installer wants to place partitions on my internal hard drives as well [22:08] is there much difference in performance by running a game server in ubuntu server from normal ubuntu??? [22:08] i cant find really how to install msttcorefonts in wine, i guess im retarded [22:08] nullp0inter: no, when you set up the share on WIndows 7 you would have given the share a name. Use this. You can find it by right clicking on the shared folder and selecting 'share' or whatever [22:08] baatti, you could also download 'gparted' and try that [22:08] nullp0inter: I don't have a windows 7 box so can't say exactly [22:08] m_fulder, yeah. there is writen, isn't it? [22:08] hi guys, i got MB asus k8n4-e and i cant enable the audio... [22:08] dimuls, yes .. #bin/sh -e some comments and then exit 0 ... where do I put my path? [22:09] CamFox: it says network path: \\systemowner\network_share that would be the Share value? [22:10] m_fulder, before exit 0. you may also add your own error exit conditions [22:10] how to load and unload X ? [22:10] aha ok thanks will try that dimuls :) [22:10] nullkuhl load with startx [22:10] andai, super grub2 disk can do what you want but you are probably more likely to get in trouble for booting a flash drive than using portable apps. [22:10] nullkuhl: ctrl + alt+ backspace [22:10] nullkuhl: startx [22:10] nullkuhl: /etc/init.d/gdm stop [22:10] nullkuhl: startx [22:10] Will someone help me? I'm trying to make a live usb for 9.10 netbook remix with unetbootin. I don't have an iso, but I do have a live cd for 9.10 netbook remix, so I'm using the custom option in unetbootin. It asks for a initrd file, kernel file, and options. I know where the initrd file is, but don't know where my kernel file is and what I'm supposed to put for options. [22:10] nullp0inter: i think that systemowner is the server name, the share is network_share [22:10] I excuse assos. He hasnt been on IRC for a while.. [22:10] DasEi: any progress on the issue? [22:10] nullkuhl, sudo killall Xorg ?=) [22:11] ** (gdm-binary:23434): WARNING **: Failed to acquire org.gnome.DisplayManager [22:11] Jordan_U: Haha don't worry, my first idea was to REPLACE that ghosted OEM install with Xubuntu, LOL [22:11] yay brilliant! http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/USB_Boot [22:12] andai, Also, on a non school computer, make sure that you run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" and *remove all install devices* [22:12] Jordan_U: what does that do? === pete_ is now known as Guest61076 [22:13] tiki:saw my last messages ? [22:13] tiki: if you start skype, log in, then richt-click the icon in top-bar > options [22:13] dimuls, so I write just like that after comments and before exit 0 : home/ubuntu/Documents/external.sh ?? [22:13] CamFox: Can't display location "smb://systemowner-w7/network_share/" [22:13] /home/ubuntu/Documents/external.sh [22:13] andai, Makes sure that on upgrades of the grub-pc package it doesn't try to do something like "grub-install /dev/sda". Your school probably wouldn't appreciate you making their computer unbootable :) [22:14] right and .. how do I add my own exit and why should I add one dimuls ? [22:14] guys, the audio wont start.. i got Motherboard asus k8n4-e, it sees the chipset, but it wont play any audio [22:14] nullp0inter: is that a new error message? [22:14] silvering: alsamixer [22:14] how to unload X ? :S [22:15] CamFox: no, but im just shpowing you what i am getting..it asks for a domain and password..and the default domain is MSHOME...shoul dthat be different? [22:15] nullkuhl: ctrl+alt+backspace [22:15] doesnt work nullp0inter [22:16] you may check some error conditions and exit with error using smthng like "exit 1"... it is not necessarily.. its a simple sh script. you may also just add your script into rc.local istead ~/external.sh [22:16] nullp0inter: yeah, probably. Get the correct domain from the windows box. Right click on my computer and click properties, I think... [22:16] nullkuhl: from graphics to text [22:16] nullp0inter: does it ask for a username? [22:16] Malkavian: that doesnt unload x [22:16] m_fulder, a little above [22:16] CamFox: yes i put in my windows username [22:16] nullkuhl: sudo service gdm stop [22:17] boot in rescue mode [22:17] erUSUL, The windows disks that I have will make me format the disk :/ [22:17] nullp0inter: okay, cool. Check the domain then... [22:17] CamFox: is the domain = workgroup? [22:17] ah cool I can add the script instead :) will try that then thx dimuls brb after reboot [22:17] nullp0inter: and obviously put your windows password in for the password! [22:17] Has anyone here used NI (Native Instruments) Audio Kontrol 1with Linux? [22:17] m_fulder, try google rc.local [22:17] nullp0inter: sounds right, that's usually the default [22:18] If anyone know about kopete in here, see if you can answer this question for me, I set up facebook on it, works, but somepoint down the road it disconnects and wont work again till i delete and re add? [22:18] with ubuntu how do I configure the console DPMS settings (I want the display to power off not just blank the screen) [22:18] ok will do =) [22:18] anyone running an htpc with the ps3 remote? [22:18] Curly_Q, do you have any other solutions to my issue? :/ [22:18] CamFox: still fails to mount [22:19] hi, when i upload big files in kubuntu, the whole internet connection slows down, however if i do the same on the windows xp install i have on another partition, i have no problem. Furthermore, if i use virtualbox to upload files from a windows xp guest i can do it with no problem and surf the web perfectly on that virtual machine, but when i try to browse the web usig kubuntu while de vm is uploading i cant browse the web [22:19] does someone know what the cuse might be and how to solve it? [22:20] nullp0inter: I wonder why it says smb://systemowner-w7/network_share/, it should be smb://systemowner/networkshare/ I think... [22:20] Nolan2 Sorry for not following completely what you were doing. However, I do know that there might be a CMOS setup problem. What is happening now with your installation? [22:20] DasEi: sorry, I had to restart X, so i didnt see the message. My original problem was with Skype only listing "PulseAudio server (local) as a sound device. I solved this problem originally by removing pulseaudio, so that skype could default to Alsa. By doing this, however, I disabled most of my sound preferences and removed the functionality of my keyboard volume keys. This was something I needed, and I could not afford to lose, so I r [22:20] einstalled Skype. I was then presented with the same problem I had at the beggining. After tryong an oss wrapper and padfs without avail, I was about to give up. That's when I came across this very issue in a skype forum. The solution was simple: Make skype start a call and at that moment switch the output prefences for the skype plugin while it is still active in the pulseaudio settings. This solved all of my problems... [22:20] zapper_, where are you moving the files to/from you might have a bad switch and it's eating all the processing power [22:20] CamFox: i just typed it in wrogn the first time sorry [22:21] nullp0inter: so the error is what i typed second? [22:21] CamFox: the underscore is right in network_share however [22:21] zapper_: maybe qos settings of windows, the router honors? i would sniff in the network data and try to find out the differences [22:21] frostburn: it happens whenever i try to upload videos to youtube, megaupload os similar [22:21] CamFox: the owner is systemowner-w7 [22:21] oh, okay [22:21] Curly_Q, Okay, I just tried creating a boot command for grub to load the windows partition, and it's still just displaying a blinking _ lol. [22:22] nullp0inter: try leaving domain blank [22:22] tiki:nice, skype is fine, wherether pulse or direct- access [22:22] Anyone mind me asking a stupid question? [22:22] Nolan2, That's probably a problem on Windows' end rather than grub's. [22:23] so you think is an issue with the router? How can i solve it? [22:23] zapper_, yeah, you're hosing your upload so all other traffic cannot reliably do handshakes [22:23] CamFox: doesnt work [22:23] Jordan_U, I was afraid of that. But all of the files are still there.... [22:23] Nolan2 try this. If you have a Windows 98 boot disk with SMART on it, do an fdisk and check if there is stuff on your partitions. It will tell you also what type of file system is there lest it be NTFS or 32 or 16 bit and so. Also what Operating system are you using with Windows? [22:24] XP Media Center Edition 2005 [22:24] nullp0inter: can you give me a rundown of all the info you have to provide when connecting to the share and the values you're using? [22:24] nullp0inter: I'm a bit lost! [22:24] frostburn: i thought so, but it seemed kinda weird to me as it only happens on linux. Anyway, how can i solve that? [22:24] Windows ME? [22:24] I'm trying to test a newer kernel on my karmic machine. I tried adding the kernel-ppa ppa using add-apt-repo, but when I apt-get update it gives me a 404 not found. does anyone know what's going on here? [22:24] Nooo Lol [22:25] Windows XP, Curly_Q [22:25] Nolan2, Try asking in ##windows, and if they say you need to run "fixboot" or anything else that will overwrite grub you can follow this guide to restore it afterward: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide [22:25] CamFox: i just opened up netoworks, and clicked on 'Windows Network' it then dispayed 'WORKGROUP' clicked on that, it says 'Opening WORKGROUP' then fails [22:25] zapper_, limit your upload either on your router or in linux check out this tutorial http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=595472 [22:25] Do you want to re-install XP Nolan2? [22:25] preferably not, Curly_Q since all of my stuff is on there :S === Mowee is now known as Mowee`Bnc [22:27] is there a way to poweroff the monitor after a period of time, rather than just blanking the screen (ubuntu server, no X installed) ? [22:27] OH! You have a problem Nolan2. I highly suggest you stop what you are doing and listen carefully. Shut down the box and take the Hard drive with all of your stuff and SLAVE that drive. DO NOT WRITE TO THAT DISK! After that you can copy all of the necessary data from that disk and then re-install Windows. [22:28] nullp0inter: sorry, got to go. Good luck! I don't think you're far off... [22:28] Nolan2 what is happening is that your MBR (Master Boot Record) is corrupted. [22:29] Nolan2: can ubuntu be started from grub and windows not? === Mowee`Bnc is now known as Mowee [22:29] You could possibly try to repair the MBR but I highly suggest slaving that drive and recovering the data. [22:29] frostburn: i will try mastershaper and see if that solves the problem [22:29] yep oskar-. [22:29] Curly_Q: live ubuntu cd and backup to USB works for me.. [22:30] That's great zcat. :) [22:30] I'm trying to test a newer kernel on my karmic machine. I tried adding the kernel-ppa ppa using add-apt-repo, but when I apt-get update it gives me a 404 not found. does anyone know what's going on here? [22:30] Curly_Q, I can mount the partition from Ubuntu and access all of the data on that partition [22:31] Hello [22:31] anyone can help me to change my splash screen? cause this brown loadin splash screen sux [22:31] Flash wont let me share webcamera [22:31] Why not? I can't click the box [22:31] floodbot2: help [22:31] When adobe flash askes to reval it [22:31] Nolan2: then the mbr is ok. maybe the grub boot entry for windows wrong, or the boot sector for the windows partition. have you tried auto-creating a new grub config? [22:31] Nolan2: you probably only need to boot the windows cd, get to recovery console and run fixmbr (and perhaps fixboot) but if you're not 100% sure take a backup first too. [22:31] Nolan2, the next thing to do is to copy that data, however, you may still run into a problem. The type of file system that is looking at that data may convert it while copying. Use the NTFS Windows to copy that data unless Ubuntu has a perfect replication of that data. Then burn it on a CD or copy it to another drive. [22:32] zcat[1]: fixboot, not fixmbr. the latter would overwrite the working grub [22:32] FloodBot2: help [22:33] Use a bootable CD for that. [22:33] Then copy all of your stuff to a memory stick. [22:33] oskar-: yeah but it's easily repaired ;) [22:33] Fixboot does not always work. [22:34] I'm never sure what command fixes what part of the boot sequence ;) [22:34] Curly_Q: but fixmbr will repair nothing and destroy grub in this case [22:34] H! I'd like to automatically download torrents from an RSS feed using Transmission. I just moved form windows, where uTorrent did this natively. What would be the easiest/best way to accomplish this in ubuntu? Are there RSS readers that are particularly well suited to this task? [22:34] How do I set up file sharing between two ubuntu computers that are on the same network? [22:34] winblows [22:34] as easily as possible [22:34] fcerty5: thanks for that... [22:34] :D [22:35] geniv: it's a bot [22:35] oskar-, how do I go about recreating a new grub config? [22:35] Oskar this is why I suggested to not write to the disk. Use either slaving that drive and recovering that data or just use a bootable disk such as bart's Boot Disk or any Linux bootable disk. [22:35] shazbotmcnasty, scp [22:36] Use Acronis bootable disk. [22:36] It will recover everything. [22:36] Do I want fake raid or software raid? [22:36] Just use an ubuntu CD [22:36] gentoo [22:36] Maletor, I think they're both one and the same. [22:36] silly question .. when editing the applications menu, I can't seem to add any items to the System Tools section. I go through all the steps to add the new item, but it does not show up there. I can add items anywhere else in the Applications menu. Is this a permissions problem? what gives? [22:37] unop: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID negative [22:37] Nolan2: what version of ubuntu are you using and what version of grub? [22:37] Maletor, real radi would be hardware raid :D [22:37] how do I stop my windows from snapping to the screen edge? [22:37] i don't mind them snapping to each other, but not the screen edge [22:37] abstrakt: there's a setting in CCSM, if you have that downloaded === huayra_ is now known as hubuntu [22:37] Maletor: software raid; "fake raid" combines the CPU load of software raid with the adaptor-lockin of hardware raid; worst of both! === hubuntu is now known as huayra [22:38] Hi all, been banging my head against the wall trying to get Dual-Head monitors working.

Any help would be MUCH appreciated. [22:38] blz, dunno what CCSM is, so probably don't have that downloaded [22:38] did they update package sudo? [22:38] er, did they update the sudo command? [22:38] oskar-, Ubuntu 9.10; Grub2 [22:38] abstrakt: compizconfig-settings-manager [22:38] you can apt-get it [22:39] Myrtti: I is no a bot [22:39] Maletor, fakeraid still needs support from drivers -- I still consider it software raid as it isn't true raid (in the hardware sense). but this besides the point, use fakeraid if your motherboard supports it and you can setup linux for it too.

[22:41] k oskar- [22:42] Maletor: "NEVER" -- fake raid is just software raid with proprietary drivers and tied to a particular controller. There are no advantages, only disadvantages [22:42] :P [22:42] i mean unless compiz is on by default, but i don't think it is [22:42] this is just a fairly plain Ubuntu 9.10 install [22:42] Need help black screen after nvidia update "mistmatch kernel 195.30 nvidia driver 195.36.08 ubuntu" [22:42] it is on by default [22:42] not kubuntu or xubuntu or anything, just... ubuntu [22:43] geniv: floodbots are [22:43] oskar-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/386599/ [22:43] Maletor: fake-raid has probably the advantage of being able to dual-boot from the same raid linux and windows. but i would never recommend it. === GhostEyes is now known as RainbowEyes [22:43] !kvm [22:43] kvm is the preferred virtualization approach in Ubuntu.

[22:50] buenas noches a todos [22:50] !es | Anton039 [22:50] Anton039: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [22:50] !es | Anton039 [22:50] DasEi: ? can you rephrase the question ? [22:50] hello all [22:51] ok [22:51] Oskar, I will explain the incredible advantage of using it. Let us suppose you install Xubuntu or Linux Red Hat9 or Windows XP or anything for that matter. Acronis will copy it exactly and you do not ever have to re-install the OS or kernel ever. It takes about 5 to 10 minutes to fully copy your disk to not only another disk but your original disk. [22:51] hi [22:51] erUSUL: I see, maybe I fixed my problem then (managed to compile driver in another way) , will I have to restart ? [22:52] DasEi: if you compiled the module you can just load it. « sudo modprobe module_name » [22:52] where do I save XTerm settings ? is it no t on ~/.Xdefaults ? [22:52] No more re-installing drivers and waiting 45 minutes to install all of the packages. 10 minutes maybe less. [22:53] NCS_One: you could try .Xresources, that's what I use on jaunty [22:53] Curly_Q: are you an acronis salesman? ;-) i don't need it. if you know how to copy files and make grub working, you don't need anything else in linux. [22:53] If you make a mistake, just re-copy everything. [22:53] hi everybody [22:53] where are the boost header files kept and how can I include them when I compile with g++?

[22:54] I am on the same page with you Oskar- but, in this fast paced world, time is a premium. [22:54] trism: ubuntu doesn't load at start the .Xdefaults but if I open, save and exit it the settings are loaded. Very strange. [22:54] Curly_Q, dd?

[22:57] yah you made that harder than it needed to be :p [22:57] NCS_One: how? [22:57] Curly_Q: DOn't use it for normal copying, though. Since it writes bits directly to the disk, it won't mind your Filesystem and it'll usually foul you up really really bad.

[23:03] adambuntu: i am not sure, i will look [23:03] ubottu: tell kisuke about dual booting windows 7 [23:03] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:03] oskar-, im looking now [23:04] oskar-, yep [23:04] adambuntu: "dvdrip" is the package [23:04] good evening [23:04] Sounds good Oskar- ;-) [23:04] oskar-, i found it. awesome thanks again!

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [23:05] adambuntu: i do not know an easier application for making avis out of dvds, that has so many features [23:05] I bought a HP server [23:05] i am trying to suscribe to podcast with exaile (version 0.3.0.1) with ubuntu 9.10.

[23:08] I'm trying to install a ftp server (vsftp) and I can connect through filezilla successfully, but the second I add ssl support, I only get ECONNREFUSED thrown in my face... what could be wrong? [23:08] eeli, it really depends on what you want to do with it. i would download a few livedvds, and check them out. depending on how you like to use the os, and what tools you want to use will depend on which to use [23:09] karpus, did you open the port? [23:09] thesabry: don't have a solution with exaile, but I like gpodder for podcasts, and you can listen to them in whatever music app you want [23:10] alguien habla español [23:10] karpus: there could be a firewall between it, that recognizes an unencrypted ftp-port statement, but is (of course) not able to recognize it, when it is ssl-encrypted. [23:10] Any good graphical app in the repositories for finding duplicate images? (findimagedupes is a terminal app) [23:10] adambuntu: I'm only trying this on localhost as of now, so it doesn't matter now? or am I wrong? [23:10] someone speak spanish? [23:10] no?

[23:11] I apt-get -f dist-upgrade'd from 9.04 to 9.10 after putting the karmic repositories in my sources.list [23:11] was this a bad idea? [23:12] Hi, i have 2 computers on the lan. Computer A is running openssh-server. unable to ssh from the other computer (B) to A. "Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer". Any ideas? Using nmap on (B) I can see the port is open on (A). [23:12] Haven't rebooted yet [23:12] but I am starting to get scared that [23:12] is it posibel to change a mounting point of a hd ? it is on /backup and i whant to change the name of the mounting point [23:12] everything will be broken [23:12] adambuntu: I disabled ufw but no change, still ECONNREFUSED [23:12] mawst: I'll try that then, thanks [23:12] how do you force eject a cd/dvd, i tried sudo eject but it only pops out the other cd drive [23:12] karpus, ufw? firewall? [23:12] seanbrystone: i think there's an option to select the cd drive to eject, look at the man page [23:12] w_a: mount it in the new mount point (you can umount it after or before) [23:13] seanbrystone: usually -> eject /media/dvd or eject /dev/dvd [23:13] seanbrystone: try cdrom0 cdrom1 etc [23:13] karpus: is there a NAT between client and server? [23:13] I Don't remember who I was last talking to... I switched PCs. [23:13] Oh yeah [23:13] ok thx guys [23:13] hi Nolan === GhostEyes is now known as RainbowEyes [23:13] adambuntu: yes, Uncomplicated Firewall [23:13] oskar-: no [23:13] karpus, telnet to the port and see if it responds [23:13] oskar-, there was no option to open the command line with my disk, so I'm running the recovery sequence. [23:14] Probably because these are HP disks.. [23:14] adambuntu: "Connection refused" said telnet [23:14] hey all. if i wanted my external hard drive to be mounted automatically upon startup, what's the easiest way to do that? === Nolan is now known as Nolan2 [23:14] karpus, then there you go. if the port is refusing connection, then its not open. [23:15] olaa [23:15] Barridus: add a line to /etc/fstab I guess [23:15] olaa [23:15] VCoolio, eject cdrom0 worked thanks a ton :) [23:15] Just installed tripwire today. recomended.. it genererates a md5 (or sha) signature of all files and checks if they have been modified. Great for detecting rootkits and the like. (Of cource you would have to install it FIRST. [23:15] Nolan2: ok. i have to leave now... good luck at getting everything working! [23:15] ola [23:15] See ya oskar- [23:15] illo olzz [23:15] VCoolio, this is a laptop so sometimes the HDD will not be present. will this cause a problem? (I don't use hibernate or suspend) [23:16] any know any thing about dual-booting with win 7? [23:16] Barridus: not apart from an 'not available' message in the logs [23:16] kisuke, yep [23:16] hi [23:16] adambuntu: how? [23:16] VCoolio, ok then i will investigate that option, thanks [23:16] thank you all for your answer [23:17] so my mom just got a virus in firefox on ubuntu lol, jsut cant help people can ya?

[23:17] blakkheim, no a virus in firefox [23:17] ugliefrog: install ntfsprogs [23:17] MasterShrek: explain [23:17] blakkheim, but yes, on ubuntu [23:17] blakkheim, last I heard there were 50 or so in the wild [23:18] adambuntu: but I disabled ufw, the firewall that came with ubuntu, and I'm not connected to a router or any other device with NAT functionality, so the port should be open [23:18] blakkheim, its hijackin her browser, wont spread through the system or anything, and even if it did the worst that would happen is it would screw up the user, but her browser cache needs to be cleared [23:18] and i forgot to set up ssh on her new machine, so i gotta go forward a port lol [23:18] Barridus: actually check nautilus > edit > preferences > behavior tab first; easier if it works [23:18] adambuntu: with an OEM install? [23:18] anyway, to my point. anyone have issues running chrome on 9.10? [23:19] MasterShrek: Works wonderfully for me. [23:19] MasterShrek, there are ways to elevate privelage under Linux too. [23:19] blakkheim, Thank you sir... :) [23:19] Younder, true, but she doenst know her password :) [23:19] Please Help me out. After nvidia card upgrade I have a green screen. I can only access to terminal in recovery mode. [23:20] studentz, sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new i think should do it [23:20] kisuke, no. you will have to resize the partition with the os disk. [23:20] MasterShrek, If you want to be sure you can run SNORT. a net filter the flags suspicious activity [23:20] karpus, did you open port 2222 [23:20] Younder, never heard of it, ill have to give it a try [23:20] adambuntu: read: bo buy anew licence for win 7, partition the drive, etc... [23:21] VCoolio, i checked that already actually already. media_automount and media_automount_open are checked. seems to mount when the laptop is on and you plug it in, but it's connected to a hub and is always on anyways so unplug/replug is somewhat of a hassle. [23:21] adambuntu: yes, since I inactivated ufw, all ports are free [23:21] MasterShreck I'm sorry I mean after driver upgrade. I start x from terminal and I have this error "mistmatch kernel 195.30 nvidia driver 195.36.08 " [23:22] kisuke, no. put the os disk from the machine in, which you should be able to create with the os that is installed, then startup the machine, resize the disk, then install it. the other option, is go get a system disk to resize the partion like gparted, use it to resize the partition, then reinstall the oem software/os on the first drive [23:22] karpus, check this, see if there is something you missed. https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/server/C/openssh-server.html [23:22] Barridus: I see, then try fstab. You know how that works? [23:22] dinner guys, brb [23:22] sort of. [23:23] VCoolio, never done usb devices with it. [23:23] studentz, sounds like a broken install of the driver, try removing it maybe. how did you install it? [23:23] yo yo yo [23:23] !fstab > Barridus [23:23] Barridus, please see my private message [23:23] Barridus: trick is to find the right /dev/??, get it mounted by pluggins it in the 'hassle' way and then do 'mount' in a terminal to check mounts [23:24] adambuntu: ok thanks [23:24] MasterShreck: Yes I agree, How I can uninstall the driver or revert to a previous state? [23:25] studentz, it depends on how you installed it, i would guess through the hardware update thing, i would try: sudo apt-get purge nvidia-glx-new [23:25] studentz: dpkg -l | grep nvida will show the installed nvidia stuffs [23:26] studentz, if at all possible, try the driver straight from nvidia, http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html [23:26] MasterShrek: studentz : or add the nvidia pp ad use that (easier) [23:26] MasterShreck: I tried dpk-reconfigure xserver-xorg But I did not work, I will try Thanks [23:26] ppa and* [23:27] actionParsnip, i was unaware that existed, ill have to keep it in mind. [23:27] studentz: if you remove all nvida packages you will revert to the opensource nv driver [23:28] MasterShrek: https://launchpad.net/~nvidia-vdpau/+archive/ppa [23:28] any way to make USB volumes mount automatically upon being plugged in? === TT is now known as Guest16340 [23:28] zetheroo: add it in /etc/fstab [23:29] actionParsnip: ok ... add what?

[23:29] also why do USB volumes mount automatically on my Desktop and not on my laptop? Both are running Karmic ... [23:29] I can't get it to work and I tfollowed the tutorial exactly...

[23:34] cajun: .... you can back them up, if you think you'd need them later on, to a cd or usb [23:35] Q: ssh between 2 computers. looking at troubleshooting section here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Configuring and even the simple test of testing the localhost running the server fails e.g. ssh -v localhost -p #### produces "Read from socket failed: connection reset by peer" Any ideas? [23:35] cajun: other than that, is safe to remove, sure -> sudo apt-get clean; [23:36] blakkheim: I don't mind it really ... but if I have to tell my clients when they have an issue that they will have to start mucking about in the Terminal to solve something so basic (was working fine in 9.04) they are not going to be as gracious ... [23:36] blakkheim, zetheroo has a valid point, its not that he has to do cli, its that he has to do on on machine but not another with same distro/release [23:36] I'm about to swtich my 1tb ntfs drive to ext4. Man I can't wait to see the performance difference. :D [23:36] cajun: http://aptoncd.sourceforge.net/ <---- if you're interested [23:36] blakkheim: see, whatever issues I have I know others will have ...

[23:54] andresmh: that's a known issue, not important [23:54] but then it never opens VCoolio === shennyg is now known as shennyg|away [23:55] How's everyone. [23:55] andresmh: that's not because of that warning, don't know what is the problem [23:55] Anyone ever get data from a drive reporting invalid partition table? [23:56] Am I being naive in thinking that if an audio stream is showing up in pavucontrol as ALSA plug-in [javaws.real] that it's actually going through the pulseaudio alsa plugin, rather than interfacing directly with pulse?
