[00:00] BluesKAj-Laptop: BhlueKaj-Laptop you have no idea what ur talking about .. i helped at least 20 peopel with sound issues on ubuntu and mint soo.. please dont say anything.. new alsa supports MORE HDA cards [00:01] raj, why run pulse at all , it's just another layer of processing-sound server .Only those with elaborate sound systems may benefit from pulseaudio [00:01] Where should I put a package file so apt-get will use it instead of downloading? [00:02] dont have a menu.lst in /boot/grub [00:02] BluesKaj-Laptop: without pulse video editing is almost impossible .. and audacity wont be easy to manager. pulse plays a BIG role in ubuntu [00:02] !grub2 | Quickard [00:02] Quickard: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [00:02] How do I find version of Grub installed? [00:02] Nuf881: somewhere in /var/cache/apt but why not just 'dpkg -i /path/to/deb' ? [00:03] scribawf, grub-install --version or "apt-cache policy grub grub-pc" [00:03] Jordan_U: Tnx much [00:04] So I just installed virtual box and I want to get xp in a virtual box on my system...Where can I actually add xp? [00:04] scribawf: in this case apt-cache policy isn't reliable; "dpkg -l | grep grub" [00:04] hey, can anyone give me a hand with citrix client? i am running 9.10 64. I got the client working and can run the apps on my school's site but i can't map my home folder in the citrix apps [00:04] is there a PAM module for iris scan \authentication? [00:04] raj ...ok so you're speaking about the media types who are using ubuntu , not the guy who just wants his soundcard to work properly without crappy or no sound at all [00:04] VCoolio, Not reliable in what way? [00:05] anyone tested Adobe CS4 programs under a virtual machine in karmic? [00:05] Jordan_U: I use grub but I don't have grub or grub2 package installed, but grub-common and grub-pc [00:05] Do they work ok? [00:05] Mainly want photoshop without having to dualboot. [00:05] red, why wouldn't it work? [00:05] i dunno, i never tested VMs so thought id ask :) [00:05] VCoolio, That's why I told him to run "apt-cache policy grub grub-pc" [00:05] under wine it didnt really work [00:06] using layers crashed it [00:06] red, it will work because it's a virtual machine and not wine [00:06] ye [00:06] BluesKaj-Laptop: who doesnt edit or play music on tehir laptop?? who doesnt manager more than 1 source of audio.. flash + media player? [00:06] goodie [00:06] just thought id ask if someone had tested :) [00:06] I try to create share to one folder in /var/ and get this error message: http://pastebin.com/YhMwaY5e [00:06] why [00:06] mylisto2: run virtuabox, click new, name it, set the settings, then start the v machine, and then bootfrom the cd or w/e media u are going to install xp [00:06] I'm sure someone has on google [00:06] Jordan_U: anyway apt-cache policy answers "what version of this is available", "dpkg -l" answers "what do I have"; but you're right you covered it [00:06] VCoolio; used the "apt-cache policy" and came up with result - GRUB 1.97~beta4 [00:07] raj: ALSA can play audio from multiple applications [00:07] pmow: sorry for using irc for a quickie :) [00:07] VCoolio, It also tells you what version is installed. [00:07] if that's what you call a quickie, I don't want to be your gf/bf [00:07] ;) [00:07] :D [00:07] hi, new ATI HD 5850, i'm in safe mode, how can i configure it? [00:07] bad perv, away! [00:08] NewWorld: yes it can but it cant play well in audacity / openshot / and sometimes VLC will give u problems i did try taking it off and it was alot more painfull [00:08] I'm a pervert with permissions issues. Sigh. [00:08] only read permissions? [00:08] :D [00:08] im guessing you would like to be su [00:08] my minions/users own folders that they cannot delete [00:09] goviel: should I use an iso of the xp I want to run? [00:09] they're restricted to their /home/user dir, but cannot delete /home/user/folder [00:09] and I have to use SFTP, and I can't let them see each other [00:10] raj, i don't know of many ppl who actually edit video let alone audio :) [00:10] otherwise I'd just run FTP or set the perms correctly in the first place. But SFTP jail breaks it all =/ [00:10] How can I see history of software I installed via Software Center in Ubuntu? [00:10] pmow: i wondered about that earlier [00:10] =) [00:11] most linux machines i have rights to sftp to let me just go and browse everbodys hoem folders [00:11] BluesKaj-Laptop: a computer is more than just webbrowsing chatting and office documents.. its multimedia TOO :S [00:11] and i find that kinda odd default [00:11] yes, indeedy. [00:11] Does anyone here know how to install geforce 240 GT on a linux computer? [00:11] would be nice if sftp respected .htaccess or something similar [00:11] ujjain, /var/log/apt/history.log should show you [00:11] raj,, agreed , but even linux users don't do a lot of media editing [00:11] I got a question why is it that my files don't show up when I display hidden files? [00:12] but when I go to the command line in the same directory they are there [00:12] so i could set my own folders safe without being a root user on certain machines :l [00:12] permissions or something? [00:12] ZykoticK9: Appreciate it. [00:12] Hellhound666, are you using the same user in CLI? [00:13] red, yes it's quite frustrating, in addition to all my other ... frustrations [00:13] wtf nm I see them [00:13] :D [00:13] yes I am I dunno what I did [00:13] pff weird [00:13] Hellhound666, I'm going to put up half a point for me, since I didn't do anything [00:13] hi [00:13] alright works for me [00:14] Does anyone here know how to turn off x server in unbuntu [00:14] im trying to use a program called bibble (uses qt) and for some reason the text is corrupt and looks like random characters. using the application in other user accounts works fine and the corrupt language is in my account only.. what could be causing this? [00:14] mythicalbox: yes that would be a great choice, i had to make a new machine to make sure it would work [00:14] Does anyone recommend something other than virtualbox 3.0.8 for my ubuntu karmic? [00:15] pepper_haze, do you want to disable GDM from starting each time, or do you just want to turn X off for a moment? [00:15] I want to turn off x server to install a video card [00:16] pepper_haze, "sudo service gdm stop" that will log you off what you are doing btw [00:16] anybody know about setting up remotes to control vlc, or do it a wireless kb/mouse [00:16] f [00:16] ? [00:16] pepper_haze, don't you have to turn off xserver when you turn off the machine? [00:16] where'd that f come from? [00:16] <`mOOse`> I put it there [00:16] <`mOOse`> sry [00:17] :) [00:17] JoeSomebody, maybe the wireless started working? [00:17] Does anyone recommend a software other than virtualbox? [00:17] i just received a used free kb/mouse [00:17] ubyserver, GParted works great. [00:17] never tried it yet [00:17] where would settings for qt be held? [00:18] probably a windows only thing driver-wise ? [00:18] ubyserver: vmserver is free from vmware [00:18] ubyserver, VBox 3.1.4 is available from Sun/Oracle [00:18] Thanx fellas [00:19] goviel: so I got virtualbox installed...and I setup the primary harddrive... [00:19] how do I get xp to the "harddrive" that virtualbox created? [00:19] 10,237 megs is 10 gigs right? [00:19] once i plug it in, would there be a way to detect it / list it, to find the right driver? [00:20] mylisto2: approx [00:20] mylisto2, install XP onto/into the VBox created VM [00:20] 9.997GB? [00:20] zykotick9: how exactly do I do that? [00:20] JoeSomebody: try dmesg in terminal after you plug it in [00:20] mylisto2: technically speaking 10240 MB = 10 GB [00:21] I mounted what I think is a upnp server under places, how can I look for it from another computer? [00:21] i found some stuff for setting up ati remote wonder, but i also have wireless kb/mouse [00:21] mylisto2, in the VM's setting select the Windows CD/ISO as the boot device, and boot - installs like normal [00:21] I open vbox...created a 10gig virtual ide hd... [00:21] mylisto2: if you start the machine , you can either select devices from the menu at the top and select images, or if its your 1st time running it will guide you into selecting the bootable source to install the OS [00:21] sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst - there's nothing in the file. [00:21] ati remote wonder drivers and that are over my head [00:21] [begin base10 base2 debate] [00:21] MilitantPotato ok i will [00:21] !grub2 > Quickard [00:21] Quickard, please see my private message [00:21] I attempted a "do-release-upgrade" on a Jaunty system to upgrade to Karmic [00:22] somewhere along the line, the ssh connection i used failed [00:22] Quickard, if you are using Karmic then menu.lst isn't there by default I believe, see the link for more details [00:22] I managed to ssh back in again, is there someway I can resume where it left off? === LBSources- is now known as LBSources [00:22] does virtualbox automatically install to the "virtual harddrive" you have assigned to the machine? [00:22] vegarn: it should automatically [00:22] Have fun guys, I'm going to see if I can go at it alone [00:23] vegarn: all the packages should be stored still, at least [00:23] mylisto2: after your named, told it how much ram and disk space, you will click finish , then on virtual box there will be a list with the name of the machine you crated, select it and clik start at the top [00:23] what do you mean automatically? [00:24] does anyone know the terminal command to display info about your distro [00:24] eg name version etc [00:24] vegarn: run the update command again and it will continue downloading packages [00:24] sabayonuser: lsb_release -a [00:24] ok goviel: I was just worried about messing up something by installing xp - wasn't aware if vbox automatically installed it to the "assigned" "fake" hd [00:24] rww: thanks [00:25] Militant: it tells me there is no new release, attempting apt-get update tells me there's a lock [00:25] vegarn: you can only run one instance of apt at a time so close out synaptic [00:25] mylisto2: no problem, if you gave it a 20 gb HDD it will detect it and will not write anything out of that virtual drive [00:26] vegarn: the lock is probably leftover from when the ssh failed. Does it give the full path to the lock? [00:26] ok cool [00:26] vegarn: i'm not sure how you force apt to release it's lock, I've always rebooted [00:26] how big should the hd be for xp corp goviel:? [00:26] Losha: yes, /var/lib/apt/lists/lock [00:27] vegarn: try sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/lock then... [00:27] I want to get rid of the "loginscreen" and boot straight into a terminal login. When a user logs in, it logs into an X-session as usual, straight into gnome. How to? [00:27] it seems the ssh session is still alive, and the bash process runs.. can't i somehow reenter into the old session? [00:27] mylisto2: 3.5+ gb for the OS then w/e else you are planning on installing. I have mine setup for 30 since I have buch of ther applications installed, up to you and your hard drive on your computer [00:28] ok cool [00:28] I picked 10gigs for now [00:28] karmic, cannot get python-visual to work. http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/6L99MAYQ [00:28] vegarn: do you mean resume downloading packages without starting over? [00:29] what are the limitations of running windows os's in virtual box? Are somethings not working yet? [00:29] no, I mean take over the zombie bash shell session === pc_ is now known as TheLeader [00:29] vegarn: no, you can't pick up old ssh sessions. And it would be a huge security hole if you could. Best to kill it so it doesn't interfere with your new session. BTW: upgrading over a network connection is not recommended, for exactly this reason. When you upgrade the networking code, your connection can die... [00:29] oi pessoal, boa noite [00:30] alguem pode me ajudar? [00:30] m0ar, http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/notes/gdm [00:30] !pt | BichoGRILO [00:30] BichoGRILO: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. [00:30] tentei de tudo aqui, não encontrei referencia nenhuma [00:30] ZykoticK9: WIll read, thanks === LBSources- is now known as LBSources [00:31] mylisto2: all depends on your cpu and ram, if you have a average computer it will not matter you can run anything in it and vbox will detect all of your hardware, usb devices (flash drives) need some tweeking [00:31] nice [00:31] seems like a better option that dual booting, is it? [00:31] ZykoticK9: Nice! Tho, how can i make sure i get into gnome when i log in? [00:32] hello. i have installed ubuntu 9.10 on to my hardware RAID0 array. it has it's own partition for root and 1 for swap. but i get no boot loader when i boot. it goes right into windows 7 [00:32] yo yo yo [00:32] mylisto2: i love VBox, I run Ubuntu as the host, Backtrack 4 for school, and Windows XP with no issues [00:32] backtrack? [00:32] m0ar, i though you wanted to NOT get into Gnome? if you disable GDM you can start X by running "startx" === LBSources- is now known as LBSources [00:33] mylisto2: its another distro based on ubuntu which isnt supported here [00:33] mylisto2: its a security distro [00:33] hi, I've got 2 machines. My desktop weatherthing says it's -10C and laptop says it's -5C... Which should I trust? :D [00:33] its is, I use remote software to help customers and only works in windows, so Instead of booting the computer, I open vbox and boot the virtual OS and run the software without having to ever boot into windows from linux [00:33] 12 [00:33] ZykoticK9: When I boot i want to get to a console login. When I login as my user, I want to get into gnome. Get me? :) [00:33] mylisto2: for casual use it's very good. But there are some things you can't do from an emulator, i.e. access special hardware. It's also a tad slower. But there's nothing like it if you want to run multiple different distros [00:33] I removed the lock file, and apt-get helpfully notifies that "sudo dpkg --configure -a" should be run... this resumed the update process [00:33] the one set to your location ojm [00:34] MilitantPotato, both are set to Rovaniemi [00:34] Losha: what kind of special hardware are you talking about? [00:34] That's why I bothered to join here, does it pick it's weather stations randomly or something? [00:34] m0ar, ya startx is what you want - if Gnome doesn't start by default you may need to create/edit a .xinitrc file in your home dir [00:35] mylisto2: well, anything that's a pci card, for example... [00:35] hi [00:35] Losha: is it possible they will support that in the future? [00:35] ZykoticK9: I create the file ".xinitrc" in ~, and remove GDM? Simple as that? [00:35] I'm having some trouble connecting to a samba share from the command line. I type smbclient -L 192.168.1.102 and then I enter the password which appears to work because it displays info about the shares, but I don't get the smb:> prompt that I should be getting. I have set the smbpasswd. Any ideas? === jefinc_ is now known as jefinc [00:35] I am not getting GRUB at startup. It is booting straight into Windows 7. I have the root partition and the swap partition. But no boot menu at boot up [00:36] mylisto2: probably not. There's a lot of hardware out there. How to choose what to support? [00:36] Oddbio: try mounting the share using fstab, you can then access it like any folder [00:36] Would anyone be willing to help me setup a upnp? I can't find a decent guide anywhere. [00:36] need help on setting up the effect on 9.10? 3-d and jelly windows not sure the tech name for it [00:36] true [00:36] hi folks, does anyone know where/when the host drive is mounted under /host? I want to add the noatime option to that mount command [00:36] mylisto2: is there some hardware you have that you need to support? [00:36] chooch: if you hold shift at boot, do you get the menu as you expect? [00:36] m0ar, just stop GDM from starting and see if everything is already working the way you want -- IF not, then you might need to read/research about the .xinitrc file -- i think you'd just need "exec gnome-session" in the file, but it's been a long time since i used one - so be sure to verify on the net first [00:36] nah not really... [00:37] never tried that [00:37] bitsmart: maybe in /etc/fstab [00:37] ZykoticK9: Thanks! [00:37] I'll try that. TY [00:37] mylisto2: don't worry about it then... [00:37] I mainly want to use xp for certain software (flash creation, basic video production (maybe), and some other things [00:37] ActionParsnip, nope, tried that. the root fs is mounted there (/) but not /host [00:37] hey dudes, can anyone clear up the output of ps for me? [00:37] so it should be find for me [00:38] navysaylur, I think you mean compiz [00:38] sup [00:38] bitsmart: thats all i can imagine, i dont use wubi [00:38] hello [00:38] ok, i'm new to this how do i do that [00:39] 3-D desktop that is [00:39] I need some help I want to install icetea plugin to chromium [00:39] any idea [00:39] ariasbeep: symlink the plugin file in the firefox plugin folder to the chromium one [00:39] ariasbeep, i don't think it's currently possible to use icedtea or sun's java with chromium/chrome [00:40] ariasbeep: i use 64 java from www.java.com in chromium, works a treat [00:40] I got that idea ActionParsnip [00:40] but how [00:40] ActionParsnip, really - wow, gotta look into that then! [00:40] After enabling advanced desktop effects, whenever I log out or reboot the setting reverts back to 'none'. I also lose my Compiz settings. Can anybody help? [00:40] Hello guys. I've got a laptop here that my friend gave to me to fix. It had some minor HDD and mobo troubles but I've fixed them. However it won't boot to Windows. I've got it on live cd. Any way to fix the registry from here? [00:40] michael__ your system might not be able to handle desktop effects, check the graphics card's compatibility [00:40] ActionParsnip how I install [00:41] ActionParsnip I got java in firefox [00:41] i need help cant get the screen resolution to go higher than 800x600 im using 50 inch tv as monitor [00:41] Trek, I have a capable graphics card. [00:41] ActionParsnip where is the folder of icetea [00:41] michael__ do you have the correct drivers installed? what type of card? [00:41] ZykoticK9: grab the 64bit file (not rpm) and stick it in /opt, run it with sudo then simply symlink /opt/java/64/jre1.6.0_XX/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so to /usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins [00:42] ariasbeep, ^^^ [00:42] ariasbeep: look in the firefox plugins folder, you will see a link, you can run file against it to find where it links to [00:42] Trek, I don't know. I have been playing around with drivers for hours trying to get Compiz to work. Now everything is a mess and I need help. It's an ATI Radeon 4670 HD. [00:42] ActionParsnip, thanks! [00:42] !ati | michael__ [00:42] michael__: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [00:42] ZykoticK9: i hardly use the repos for plugins,they never work for me [00:42] Trek, already been there and done that. [00:43] michael__ you checked System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers? [00:43] ZykoticK9: if you use 64bit java and 64bit flash you dont need nspluginwrapper too [00:44] I am not getting a boot menu at start up. I have Windows 7 and it's little boot partition. I made my root partition and a swap partition. I see them all in Windows Disk Management. I tried holding shift at boot, but no boot menu. It boots straight into Windows. Help? [00:44] ActionParsnip, i do run 64bit OS, never bothered with 64bit browser plugins before this minute :) [00:44] Trek, I have indeed. I have also installed drivers from the ATI website. I don't know which the system is using, the default Ubuntu drivers or the ones I downloaded. System > Admin > Hard Drivers says that FGLRX is activated but not currently in use. [00:44] ZykoticK9: make sure you remove the sun java packages, you will need to keep some as openoffice.org relies on it [00:44] michael__ activate the drivers in System > Admin > Hardware Drivers then [00:44] ZykoticK9: 64bit flash is in alpha but it works well [00:44] Trek, there is only an option to remove. No activate. [00:45] michael__ then your system might be a little messed [00:45] michael__ not sure how to fix your system then [00:45] ActionParsnip, and what if i don't have any sun-java packages (as I am using the version that cannot be mentioned in this channel?) should openjre be removed? [00:45] hey everyone. I'm having some difficulty with my wireless connections. I just installed karmic, and I can see the wireles connections through WiFi radar. It says I can connect, but I never get internet access... [00:45] ActionParsnip I cant find java folder [00:46] How can I find out what driver my system is using to drive my graphics card? [00:46] ActionParsnip it doesnt exist /opt/java [00:46] please does any one know how to hide .srt files without adding . to their names ?????????????????? [00:46] ZykoticK9: i think its needed by openoffce, you should be ok [00:47] ariasbeep: thats if you are using the manual install, not sure where the package installs itself [00:47] upon bootup, once ive logged in via GDM and load gnome session, my ram usage is at 500-600mb [00:47] anyone using empathy? [00:47] what would be the easiest way to pin point the process or processes causing the high usage? [00:47] I've added my accounts upby the clock but now how do I see who's online?

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. [01:10] nothing happens [01:10] thats what I'm on now [01:10] if i understood right :p [01:10] vmfusion?

In Gnome? [01:21] yes [01:21] in xorg.conf [01:21] in my version of grub I do not have a menu.1st what do I need to edit to get windows to load before linux. any help please... I have searched all of the online help already [01:21] !grub2 > Quickard [01:21] Quickard, please see my private message [01:22] ader10`: if you have got nvidia card and nvidia utility installed you can set the options through nvidia-setting pannel [01:22] I have already looked at that [01:22] bitfox: No, I can't. The max that nvidia-settings shows is 640x480 [01:22] ActionParsnip I made a ln to icetea plugin and nothing [01:22] ader10`: setup video drivers right, what is the output of: lspci | grep -i vga [01:22] ZykoticK9: For real? Firefox in WINE is faster? That seems sad. [01:23] ActionParsnip it doesnt work on my chromium browser [01:23] Quickcard: the file that has the 'labels' for grub, that used to be in menu.lst are in /boot/grub/grub.cfg which is changed each time update-grub is run, whenever that happens to be, that is where I do my changes, the global template is in /etc/defaults/grub [01:23] ariasbeep: then delete the link and try a different file, according to the link i gave it doesnt work yet [01:23] any idea when firefox-3.6 will be out for ubuntu (as a package)? it's been like a month maybe, ff-3.7 is coming soon yet no signs of ff-3.6 in the repo [01:23] hola necesito ayuda [01:23] ActionParsnip: VGA compatible controller: nVidia NV34 [GeForce FX 5200] [01:23] Hebram, agreed - i actually tested to see with my own eye and it was true (that was before i switch to Chrome/Chromium, and have never been happier with a linux browser before) [01:23] Hebram: correct, weird huh [01:23] ader10`: great, run: gksudo jockey-gtk [01:24] Quickcard: I should point out, I make my changes to grub.cfg and back it up, so whenever it gets overwritten, it doesn't btw, since I'm the one who runs update-grub, I can always refer to my changed version or put it back [01:24] ZykoticK9: I use Chromium myself. It is a wonderful thing. I can't remember the last time I launched Firefox. [01:24] chromium ftw :) [01:24] Typos_King: so grub.cfg is the same thing as menu.1st? [01:24] Hebram, lol, when ever i open Firefox now i always try to search in the address field... [01:24] I like chromium more and more. [01:24] chromium? is that the same thing as google chrome? [01:24] Google Chrome is based on it. [01:24] Quickcard, yes [01:25] Typos_King, Chromium is the OpenSource version that Google's closed source Chrome is based off of [01:25] Jimmy does it have a lighter overhead than say... konqueror? [01:25] ActionParsnip Im investigating [01:25] maybe that nvidia-settings panel doesn't recognize you monitor... [01:25] ZykoticK9: I am guilty of that too. Then I get these opendns search options and ads. LOL [01:25] ok, so I can sudo grub.cfg and change the order in which eash os is listed in the boot menu so windows is default [01:25] ActionParsnip the file libmozjs.so doenst exist [01:25] ActionParsnip: Alright, what do I do once the window pops up? I'm already using the recommended driver [01:25] Quickcard, yes [01:25] thank you very much [01:26] Quickcard: well, I use Geany editor... so -> sudo geany /boot/grub/grub.cfg; [01:26] ader10`: you are using the nvidia binary drivers? [01:26] ariasbeep: then find the package containing ir [01:26] Jimmy does it have a lighter overhead than say... konqueror? [01:26] ader10`: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-173 [01:26] robb: Assuming those are the proprietary drivers, yes. I'm using NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 173) [Recommended] [01:27] Eh, how do I make a running process go to the background again [01:27] I forgot [01:27] ader10`: if your monitor is oldish it may not be reporting refresh rates which the driver needs and you will need to run: sudo nvidia xconfig and then reboot [01:27] ader10`: and the nvidia settings applet doesn't work? [01:27] ader10`: ctrl-D ? [01:27] genii: that's it [01:28] ader10`: ok run nvidia-xconfig if you have the 173 driver installed and reboot [01:28] ader10`: fg later to foreground it again [01:28] logging out and in again doesn't restart xorg? [01:28] ctrl+d is eof, you want ctrl+z [01:28] ader10`: you can then use: gksudo nvidia-settings to configure the display (click save to x config file after setting up) === solow[afk] is now known as solow[zzz] [01:28] ader10`: you can use alt+k+printscreen [01:29] Aw, he left [01:29] Typos_King: Yes. Chromium is the same. Chrome is Google's build. Chromium is the open source bleeding edge version of Chrome. [01:29] I must go now... bye bye [01:29] :-) [01:29] Hebram: does it have a lighter overhead than say... konqueror? [01:30] Hey, I broke my GDM in 9.10 I tried to change my login screen how would I fix that? It goes to "Low graphics mode" then sends me to tty1 [01:30] I mean, I use opera10, and is certainly as good or better t han chrome, on overhead is not so bad [01:30] certainly much better than FF on overhead hehe [01:31] can u ssh into a vmware virtual machine? from the pc hosting it? [01:31] Okay, restarting X didn't fix it [01:31] I've seen testings on chrome and opera, they seem about the same overhead wise [01:31] ader10`: Me? [01:31] I have serius problem using skype (video+audio). Can anyone help me? [01:31] Arsin: What? [01:31] Typos_King: I couldn't tell you. I don't use Konquerer or KDE. It isn't alot of overhead, though. It is lightening fast to launch and browse, though. [01:32] ader10`: lol nvm I have a problem that relates to the XServer sorta [01:32] Why can't I get into any virtual terminals [01:32] Hebram: better than chrome? same thing? [01:32] This is frustrating [01:32] Yes. [01:32] ctrl+alt+f2 = blank screen, no login [01:33] ader10: I thought it was alt-f2-6 [01:33] How can I increase the size of my home directory? [01:33] f2 through f6 that is [01:33] whaaat, it's not ctrl+alt anymore? [01:33] increase the size of ~? [01:33] Typos_King: Go try it out. They have a .deb package built. http://www.google.com/chrome [01:33] all this stuff changed while I was gone :( [01:33] ... [01:33] heh [01:33] Hebram: I've seen testings on chrome and opera, they seem about the same overhead wise [01:34] Hebram: I mean, I use opera10, and is certainly as good or better t han chrome, on overhead is not so bad [01:34] Typos_King: YEs.. It seems somehow it was only 629Mb allocated to it [01:34] btw Opera is the best functional browser out there [01:34] Typos_King: Of course Chrome supports extensions now, so you can weigh it down to your liking.. lol [01:34] can anyone help my. I have problems trying using skype. The sound it's to bad [01:35] !ot | Typos_King [01:35] Typos_King: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

How can I get it? [01:36] yemino_: A lot of skype sound quality issues are related to your internet connection. Are there any clues is related to your ubuntu configuration?

It is actually a Microsoft problem, not working correctly with FF [01:45] shaunlewis: I hace a win7 partition where I can use skype (and other pc with ubuntu). But with this laptop (hp pavilion) I have the problem [01:46] ader10`: ctrl-alt-f1 ... login... then either: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop or: sudo stop gdm depending what *buntu version. To restart change "stop" to "start" in either command [01:46] ugh, I can't switch to a virtual terminal [01:46] shaunlewis: it's extrange. Some time I can listen, and sometime no. Now I cant use totem or maplayer. [01:48] yemino_: Does it say anything when you start totem, or do you just have no sound? [01:48] I installed a program onto the system but I need to put an icon for it into the Accessories menu.. How can I accomplish this? [01:48] shane2peru: there is a firefox plugin for that. don't know it's name [01:48] ok, how about this, can anyone reccomend a non-mozilla web browser for me to try? preferably in the repos? [01:48] quietone, yeah, I was thinking there was, but I too cannot remember the name [01:48] darkstar1, System / Preferences / Main Menu [01:49] shaunlewis: mplayer and totem don't run. mplayer says "MPlayer interrupted by signal 2 in module: play_audio" [01:49] hi , could someone tell me if ubuntu 9.04 uses gtk 2.0 themes as default? [01:49] shane2peru: try opera, or give me the link and I'll open it in my browsers and see [01:49] ZykoticK9: Thanks, I'll try that now [01:50] darkstar1, it is for an account of mine, so it requires password etc, the opening page works fine, it is after logging in [01:50] shaunlewis: It's posible return to original configuration or something? [01:50] shaunlewis: or reinstall something? [01:50] darkstar1, I don't think opera is in the regular repos is it? [01:50] shane2peru: a search in the addons for "IE" brought up 2 choices. [01:51] came as standard with my upgrade [01:51] Alright, I'm confused by the keyboard layout options. I want alt to work as meta in emacs, and I want win-tab to switch windows in gnome.

[02:03] PeterFA, yes you may want to install xscreensaver-data-extra [02:03] |604|: Not at all, I can't even get xorg to work [02:03] |604|: yes. [02:04] <|604|> if it gets too dumbed down, it will lose its integrity [02:04] shane2peru: hehe Surely you have a synaptics package manager for Lucid? [02:04] i had kernel panic on 8.04 LTS Server... is there way i could fix it? [02:04] darkstar1, no, I'm still on Karmic, I thought perhaps you were on Lucid, because you could install it. [02:05] hi [02:05] anyone here who had bluetoth problems? [02:05] shane2peru: Well gimme a sec [02:05] my dongle seems not powering on :( [02:05] shane2peru: I'll find you an install solution [02:06] darkstar1, no, I got it installed, but it didn't help the situation, Opera rendered the web site the same way [02:06] <|604|> hey the fsck is almost done, maybe i won't have to rerinstall anything [02:06] I can listen and my contacs can listen me. But the sound its interrupt and we can't understand. Can anyone help me? [02:06] aahhh... [02:06] yemino, as far as I know pulseaudio is still having issues on karmic [02:07] <|604|> if it gets too dumbed down, it will lose its integrity <-- If that's in response to me, it's already lost its integrity [02:07] yemino, sometimes I notice it drop out quite frequently [02:07] darkstar1, that is ok, I will continue to try other browsers, installing Epiphany atm to see if that one works. [02:07] !pulseaudio [02:07] PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [02:07] <|604|> ader10` nah not really, someone cabn't jsut go from widnows to linux without being forced to learn something [02:07] |604|: Well I hope for your sake it works but generally you should never.... EVER power disrupt a Hard drive during major work, it could have really dmaging consequences [02:07] |604|: I've used linux for many years [02:07] If my cpu has the svm flag that means it supports virtualization? [02:08] if i have a source tree in a director for example /usr/source/default-kernel-2.6.8 and have patched it can I simply rename it to /usr/src/default-kernel-source-2.6.8 and have it work or does somthing have to else have to be done to it? [02:08] coz_: you have any idea to fix my problem? [02:08] |604|: and I expect ubuntu to be idiot-friendly (not sure what an unoffensive term for that is) [02:08] I use skype a lot :( [02:08] bah skype, typing ftw! [02:08] yemino, non idont ...not off hand...however you could try the #alsa channel...let me see if there is a pulseaudio channel hold on [02:09] yemino, there is one #pulseaudio [02:09] coz_: thanks [02:09] and since this is the first box i've had with virtualization support on the cpu. How does that effect my virtualbox experience? [02:09] ader10`: I'm getting some ubuntu venom from you at the moment :) What seems to be the problem? I'm a recent *nix born again so maybe I can lend a hand [02:10] Maybe someone in here can tell me. Updates are available via update-manager but not via apt-get update. Now, I think updates are held back because they might cause "issues", does update-manager do special extra stuff to prevent issues or something? [02:10] shane2peru: I know there is a way to trick IE only websites to thinking your browser is IE and I think in Opera or FF some option is built in to this effect [02:11] histo, assuming you have AMD, then yes - svm = virtualization in CPU. In order to enable it in VBox, open the properties of your VM -- System / Acceleration tab and be sure Enable VT-x/AMD-V has a checkmark [02:11] shane2peru: I know this because I have solve an exact problem of such type ages ago [02:11] I am looking for a linux version of the blackberry messenger [02:11] stooj, well apt-get update is going to reload the repository information apt-get upgrade is going to show upgrade info and apt-get dist-upgrade is going to do that and show more available updates [02:11] darkstar1, ug, Have I mentioned, my extreme dislike for Microsoft, Epiphany did better, but still didn't work [02:11] darkstar1, yes, I will have to play with that later, thanks.

[02:12] which is even too small (without panning) to use standard windows [02:12] shane2peru: I hear you and I sympathise that's the reason I'm back on *nix [02:12] |underdog7|, on gnome you want to opne gconf editor and I believe the nautilus listing /apps/nautilus [02:12] let me check [02:12] coz_: Sorry - that was a typo. I meant apt-get upgrade [02:12] darkstar1, ooops, take that back, Epiphany did the trick, though stilled showed a million errors, was able to get the info I need, thanks. [02:13] ader10`: what are your system specs [02:13] <|underdog7|> coz_: i checked that, but there is no option to hide _all_ icons. [02:13] hello everyone [02:13] |underdog7|, yeah gconf-editor /apps/nautilus/desktop [02:13] shane2peru: I will try and go into FF/Opera later and post you a solution.

I've got a bit of an odd problem. I'm running ubuntu 9.10 with chromium. I'm using xmarks to synchronize my bookmarks, but for some reason I can't upload any bookmarks to their server. Any idea if this is my issue or if this may be a bug with chromium on linux? [02:19] <`mOOse`> how long has this been going on b14ck? [02:19] does someone know why gnome mixes font weight in several programs (e.g. gedit)? (depends on $LANG) [02:19] <`mOOse`> cause their servers generally suck [02:19] you can use the dev version (version 5) which has native bookmarks sync through Chrome itself [02:19] `m00se` I've just set it up. So the past hour I suppose. [02:19] I'm switching from firefox to chrome [02:19] Figured I'd setup xmarks [02:19] <`mOOse`> b14ck - did it ever accept your upload? [02:19] moose, no [02:20] <`mOOse`> hmm [02:20] <|604|> so when i try to load kde, it tells me/tmp is out of disk space, kde failed to start [02:20] b14ck, are you on 64 or 32 [02:20] I'm on 32 [02:20] b14ck, http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/eula_dev.html?dl=unstable_i386_deb [02:20] b14ck, use that, it has native bookmarks sync [02:20] works quite well [02:20] Berzerker, thanks :) [02:20] b14ck, likewise, you can do sudo apt-get install google-chrome-unstable [02:21] does someone know why gnome mixes font weight in several programs (e.g. gedit)? (depends on $LANG) [02:21] assuming you let it install the repo [02:21] <|604|> so when i try to load kde, it tells me/tmp is out of disk space, kde failed to start [02:21] I hope it installs *waiting*. [02:21] ;) [02:21] <`mOOse`> well, I stopped using them when they decided to let users see bookmarks publicly - next step, marketing spam - try delicious.com b14ck [02:21] zedd_, I dont know but you could go to ##linux channel if no one else here knows at this time of day [02:21] |604|: is /tmp on its own partition? [02:21] <|604|> no [02:22] <`mOOse`> or the native chrome bookmark server [02:22] <|604|> ive never heard of /tmp its probably on the system parition with is 10gb [02:22] <`mOOse`> :-) [02:22] ##linux channel? [02:22] i think it's an ubuntu problem [02:22] Berzerker, awesome. [02:22] I had no idea google had bookmark sync. [02:22] <3 [02:22] m00se who lets bookmarks be viewed by the public? (sorry i didnt catch the first part of the convo ) [02:22] |604|: what are your partitions?

[02:38] |604|: Same, those are system mounts, ignore them. [02:38] jolaren: yeah I use gmail servers for my domain email its called .... [02:38] <|604|> ok [02:38] jolaren, they gice you 30 mail accounts for you domain for free [02:38] <|604|> they are normal? [02:38] |604|: yes. [02:38] how to send a file? [02:38] jolaren: and they store all the data etc... like 7gigs each person [02:38] |604|: filesystem: none on all [02:38] jolaren: Even my University has switched over to gmail servers! (though for a fee, since we have thousands of accounts) [02:39] darkstar1, yes, gpaprted can do it. Just remember to check you /etc/fstab's UUID when it's done. [02:39] jolaren: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/fnUywGW0 [02:39] <|604|> MilitantPotato yes [02:39] jolaren, apps.google.com [02:39] <|604|> hey it loaded [02:39] <|604|> how do i clean it up? [02:39] jolaren: yeah its in there its google apps for your domain [02:39] |604|: install gdmap [02:39] |604|: also, check "installed size" in synaptic for the larger packages, remove what you don't need [02:40] histo, BHoward Nitsuga I just need an apps account to use this? [02:40] Nitsuga: actually its up to 200 users per domain now [02:40] How can I get my icons along the bottom like in this image? http://gnome-look.org/CONTENT/content-pre2/55440-2.jpg [02:40] <|604|> i don't have synaptic [02:40] |604|: i'd use gparted to decrease /home by 10 or 15gb and add that to / [02:40] histo, that's great [02:40] |604|: install it. [02:40] jolaren: yeah there is a free version and a paid version you juts want the free version [02:40] <|604|> ok guys, i ahve 3 people talking to me [02:40] jolaren: I have it setup with my personal account. didnt do any of the apps stuff [02:40] |604|: sorry [02:40] jolaren: much easier than messing with your own mail server. [02:40] jolaren, yes, it''s free for particulars and small busisness [02:40] <|604|> MilitantPotato can you mp me? [02:40] <|604|> pm* [02:40] michael__, That is using an app named Awn [02:41] jolaren, they give you 200 accounts for you domain with more that 7GB each one (and growing 4 bytes per second!) === edson is now known as ecanto [02:41] #freebsd [02:41] how do you find out who runs an irc channel on free node? [02:41] Nitsuga, histo: So I will not use my own mail-server at all? Kinda sucks not beein able to set it up exactly as I want but I guess it's better than nothing - can I atleast point the domain to my ssh server? [02:42] jolaren: yes [02:42] goddard, /cs info channel.. but this isn't the place to ask [02:42] jolaren: its just a very ez and reliable solution [02:42] jolaren: they will only handle the mail side. You can still have your own web ssh or whatever [02:42] ya thanks though [02:42] jolaren: you can also set up your own mailserver its just an alternative [02:42] jolaren, you just have to set up you MX domains to google's servers and (optionally) a CNAME to a subdomain of yours. [02:43] My god, this sounds so great. [02:43] is there a picture stripper (decreases the file size in mb) for ubuntu? [02:43] cooper that didnt work [02:43] jolaren, also I personally find Gmail better than any desktop or web-based email clients out there. It even works offline! [02:43] jolaren: like mail.par-excel.com [02:43] http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/EarthDesktop?content=84070 <-- i wanna do that and the handy link is dead :( [02:44] jolaren: I have that and a start page setup for a buddy start.par-excel.com [02:44] U-b-u-n-t-u: you could use Irfanview with Wine. It's pretty good at shrinking image file sizes [02:44] U-b-u-n-t-u, you can use Phatch to edit a bunch images at once. [02:44] jolaren: but the webpage is on my own server. [02:44] my god :D [02:44] tpw_rules, ok open ccsm [02:44] I will try both thanks [02:44] coz_: uh huh [02:44] jolaren: I setup a domain that goes to my personal server for a php proxy. Get around that pesky firewall at work and school easily [02:45] jolaren: just an idea [02:45] tpw_rules, go to the Cube reflection and Deformation plugin then the "Deformation" tab [02:45] tpw_rules: do you have compiz working ... the icons on the bottom is Avant Window Navigator , which can be installed in ubuntu ,, [02:45] tpw_rules, http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/multiple-compiz-backgrounds [02:45] yeah, it's set to sphere and crap [02:45] tpw_rules, the Deformation pull down choose sphere [02:45] http://pastehtml.com/view/5tk78lb.html is this page down or just me? [02:45] ZykoticK9: that's what i wanted i think [02:45] tpw_rules, then hit the "Back" button bottom left and go to the Effects category and enable 3d windows plugin [02:46] yup [02:46] tpw_rules, then back to the cube reflection and deformation plugin under the Reflection tab the Reflecton mode set to "jumpy reflection" [02:46] Was that link something sinister? [02:47] ish [02:47] it basically disabled the desktops [02:47] that KER0LiUKAS [02:47] posted [02:47] looks like some irc thing [02:47] tpw_rules, then you will also have to set a top and bottom cap image in the cube refelction and deformation plugin and then go to the Behavior pull down and play with the tick boxes [02:47] tpw_rules, disabled the desktops? [02:48] me? [02:48] no [02:48] that website said it would not allow nautilus to control them or place icons and useful stuff that desktops were designed for :/ [02:48] hi, i am trying to install a dual boot sys. and i am having trouble with GParted, the error was a logic error saying bad sector [02:48] tpw_rules, not sure what you mean [02:49] NOTE/Warning: you will NOT be able to use your Desktop for icons/shortcuts/files with this procedure --> http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/multiple-compiz-backgrounds [02:49] that's the link ZykoticK9 gave me [02:49] tpw_rules, if you want Multiple wallpapers (you need to let Compiz manage wallpaper, thus no Nautilus icons on desktop) if you don't need multiple backgrounds then you don't need to do anything on that page [02:49] HDC possibly failed opcode: 0x0a [02:49] tpw_rules, that is if you use the wallpaper plugin not the sphere [02:49] !paste [02:49] 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.

[02:51] hello, can anyone point me in the right direction for a channel to go to if I have a quick "C Programming" question? [02:51] thanks [02:51] what should i do to fix it? [02:51] eric_3, you can try factory-erasing it (use Hiren's boot CD). [02:51] max_big: #gcc [02:51] GeekSquid, thank you [02:52] eric_3, before doing that check if you have some problem on another OS or distro [02:53] coz_: so there's no way to have both icons and wallpaper? [02:53] can i install ubuntu on an sys that already has windows partition with out messing with GParted? [02:53] eric_3, it already has windows? so the disk is not broken :D [02:53] tpw_rules, no not at this point without libeel and another library being updated or patched and there are no patches for that currently [02:53] Yes [02:54] (I think) [02:54] GeekSquid, hmm the channel is not letting me talk in it, is there another one you can reccomend? [02:54] coz_: i got that link to work with a little url manipulation and it involves recompiling nautilus... [02:54] tpw_rules: not multple wallpapers and icons. Not untill next version. I think lucid has a wallpaper switcher [02:54] eric_3, I think that you have some trouble on detected disk geometry. When does gparted throw that error? [02:54] but it preserves icons [02:55] tpw_rules, not for current nautilus but let me see the link [02:55] max_big: you need to register your username with freenode.net /nickserv register emailaddress password ... to get started [02:55] http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/viewtopic.php?t=6199 [02:55] when i try to run it, after the main menu pops up and i choose an option [02:55] tpw_rules, not that is very old :) it will not work [02:55] :( [02:56] whats the hotkey to draw a perfect circle in gimp? [02:56] REGISTER bigras24 programthebeach@gmail.com [02:56] grkblood13, Ctrl [02:56] tpw_rules, nautilus has to have a few libraries updated or changed or patched and as I said no one has bothered to do that for current nautilus... [02:56] weeek [02:56] max_big, ups! [02:56] ? [02:56] Nitsuga, what was that? [02:56] max_big, you have posted your email and password to the channel :S [02:57] eric_3, main menu?

[02:57] eric_3, so you can't boot the live-cd? [02:58] Nitsuga: The disk makes a menu pop up and i tell it which option to run [02:58] Nitsuga: No, i can boot it, it's just that after i choose and option and it trys to load [02:58] <|604|> why do i have 3 log files in linux that are 1.46gb?

[02:59] <|604|> kern.log.1 messages.1 syslog.1 [02:59] <|604|> in /var [02:59] grkblood13: shift is it not? but you still need to keep it kind of on target [02:59] coz_: cool, i got it to work. can i control gconf-editor via command line? [03:00] tpw_rules, you mean open gconf [03:00] Nitsuga: i have 2 discs, one with ubuntu 9.10 and another with GParted on it. I am getting errors with GParted disc [03:00] shift doesnt do it either [03:00] Nitsuga: I have not tried the Ubuntu disc === sivel is now known as levis [03:00] eric_3, you can run gparted from the ubuntu CD :) [03:00] coz_: no, i want to make a shell script to easily dis/enable it [03:00] |604|: whats your uptime? === Mowee is now known as Mowee`Bnc [03:01] <|604|> histo, the os has been installed a week [03:01] last august [03:01] yo [03:01] como inicio o Xserver dps de dar um kill nele?

[03:01] eric_3, start the live enviroment with the run without making changes option and go to System -> Administration -> Gparted Partiiton Editor [03:01] tpw_rules, oh well the easy way would be to install ubuntu tweak ...i believe it has that option somewhere in the gui but yes there are commands for gconf...I dont know them off hand though === levis is now known as sivel [03:01] whats good [03:01] eric_3, now I have to go, it's late, but you can ask anyone in the channel :) [03:02] tpw_rules, you can use the gconftool-2 to script changes to gconf [03:02] ok be back a bit later hopefully [03:02] eric_3, good luck ! [03:02] |604|: logfilename.1 - usually a rotated log file, probably done once per week [03:02] |604|: thats odd maybe someone else would know why. unless you ahve a bunch of errors juts dumping there. === cooper is now known as Frlncr === Frlncr is now known as cooper [03:02] tpw_rules, gconftool [03:02] Nitsuga: Thanks [03:02] oh, you can do stuff to gconf via the command line [03:02] <|604|> suppose i could open them [03:02] <|604|> and see what the logs are filled with [03:03] ish... [03:03] |604|: or atleast tail them and see what the last few entries were [03:03] <|604|> how do i tail them? [03:03] <|604|> it would take 6 days to open them [03:03] grkblood13: expand from centre, then shift [03:03] |604|, Less and other command line tools should have no problem with multi gig text files, not too sure what a GUI editor like gedit would do with it though. [03:04] <|604|> i can try nano [03:04] <|604|> brb [03:04] grkblood: that doesn't work either, sorry [03:04] no don';t [03:04] Hey, is anyone willing to run me through the process of creating a dual boot sys.

[03:08] After resizing my ext4 FS using resize2fs I wish to shrink the partition appropriately. I think there's a command that commonly follows resize2fs to do exactly that, what is it? [03:08] Why would you want to overclock it? [03:09] Can someone here walk me through in setting up samba so I can access a windows laptop. I just installed it, but what configuration changes are necessary for me to see a windows computer on my home network??? [03:09] it's actually pretty common, the cpu is intentionally underclocked by oem [03:09] Really?

[03:11] been a while since i looked at the actual clock [03:11] What's 900MHz? [03:11] Nitsuga, I understand.. so the mail login will be hosted by google on my domain.. that's insanenly sweet..

[03:25] Mar I suggest heading over to #winehq, the wine support channel [03:25] alsa is worse than wine, we still use alsa [03:25] Nah, WINE is wonderful if you're not retarded. [03:25] hello [03:25] [well, in use oss..lol] [03:25] exactly [03:25] hello, how are you? [03:25] I just finished playing Fallout 3 with WINE.

[03:27] but I think that some programs are just totally unusable with wine [03:27] I'm looking for a good soundcard (really one that captures decent sound) to record screencasts. Anyone have a recommendation? My onboard audio is terrible, and cant get my SB Audigy card to work.

[03:28] Jordan_U: his app was pampered partner [03:28] it has a bronze rating on wine [03:28] delimax, u running 9.10? and using pulseaudio? [03:28] iicsa: I am really partial to the MAudio Delta44 ... a little expensive, but does a really nice job, I use it at a couple of radio stations for streaming [03:29] iicsa: yes [03:29] Souljah: i'm not trying to clear logs daily, i'm trying to set logs to a 100mb size limit [03:29] Mar: yes. if you are dependant on that application; might as well. [03:29] only use linux when it suits your needs. [03:29] so onc eit gets to 100mb, it deletes itself or the oldest entries or how ever it works [03:29] melik so how do you learn linux? [03:29] your ever been into shellskripting? [03:29] it will never meet the needs for those who don't know how to use it [03:29] delimax, sound output is working fine for me, just not input. I've tried tons of things w/ no luck (not muted). Did you have to get newer ver of alsa? [03:30] me Souljah? [03:30] sixofour: then oh well. [03:30] yep [03:30] sixofour, Nicely said [03:30] Souljah: no [03:30] seems like a script of 5 lines in your case [03:30] GeekSquid, how is the quality from the mic input? [03:30] This is the reason why there are many different Operating Systems and many different distros of these operating systems, guys. Use the one that fits you. [03:30] sixofour: try get used to it [03:30] exactly Lachance [03:30] sixofour: that pretty much stands for any o/s [03:30] iicsa: crystal clear, although it is a line input and requires a preamp [03:30] iicsa: oh as for input i haven't tested. i know that the kernel supports the sb audigy though [03:31] Souljah: my system made GB sized logfiles, i couldn't even boot , so i need to cap them at 10mb [03:31] i hate people that push linux down other people's throats === Plinker_ is now known as Plinker [03:31] its not bootable? [03:31] 100mb* [03:31] i had to delete stuff in order to bootn [03:31] kde wouldn't load [03:31] GeekSquid, ur gonna laugh at me - what is a preamp? is that something i can "turn on"/control with software (via volume control or something) [03:31] melik, Well... I personally think Linux, well - virtually any Unix-style system, is the "perfect" system. But that's MY opinion. =P [03:31] iicsa: and that is coming from an Audio Engineer with 20 years of professional expierence [03:31] i agree too. [03:31] sixofour: you should increase your / partition size to 20 or 25gb [03:32] why? [03:32] so the logs can be bigger? lol [03:32] sixofour: or create a separate partition for /tmp or /var/log [03:32] they went to 1.4 gb in like 10 minutes [03:32] sixofour: so, get a live sytem ( for example usb) and secure the whole /var/log directory [03:32] Its a pre-amp to boost signal AF [03:32] Lachance: agreed! [03:32] what Souljah? [03:32] i jsut need to tell linux not to allow them to get big [03:32] no Lachance [03:32] better eyt, if i could turn logging off , even better [03:33] its the perfect OS for us. [03:33] you cant boot the sytem for now, right? [03:33] iicsa: a preamp takes the Low impedance signal from the microphone and turns it into a higher voltage, any good mini-soundboard will do, you can get one for less than $100 [03:33] yes Souljah [03:33] but a music producer, its a POS system. [03:33] sixofour: log files don't work that way, what you have to do is protect the rest of your partitions if a process starts to run away and fill up /var/log [03:33] piece of sh** [03:33] but / is still 94% full [03:33] iicsa: In other words it amplies it for the next stage [03:33] partly because it doesn't provide good programs/tools for music producing [03:33] so, boot it with a live sytem and clear the /var/log directory [03:33] GeekSquid, ok understand. I'm just doing simple screencasts - not looking to spend more then like $70/80 bucks.... [03:33] i am sure you can limit log files [03:33] or the programs/tools provided don't come to par with the programs/tools found on other systems [03:33] melik, delimax the fact still stands that I would not recommend Unix/Linux unless I thought the person was capable of using it. I would never install it on another's system unless I knew they could handle any issues that arise, as well. [03:34] Souljah: i can clear it right now, no issue [03:34] but for future reference i want to limit logging [03:34] Lachance: my mom runs linux. [03:34] My brother-in-law installed Ubuntu when I recommended it. I still hear about how 'I' destroyed his computer. >_> [03:34] better backupit now, on usb p.ex. and then next step [03:34] lol [03:34] she likes it, she uses it for email + web browsing + youube [03:34] helloooo [03:34] youtube* [03:34] Lachance: although that's probably true, Ubuntu is getting so easy to use that pretty much anyone could be productive with it [03:34] Souljah: back uo what? [03:34] up [03:35] sixofour: the logs? [03:35] i don't need them [03:35] i'm gonna delete them alkl together [03:35] delimax, I like Fedora and Mint a lot as well. When I do recommend Linux I usually recommend Mint, then Ubuntu, then Fedora. (In order of difficulty) [03:35] so, rm -rf /var/log/ [03:35] who cares [03:35] i know lol [03:35] They're all top-notch distros IMO. [03:35] why u log then, when you dont need em [03:35] Souljah: i can delete the,\m ,thats not an issue [03:35] lol [03:35] :) [03:35] basically what i'm trying to say is if Mar needs that windows programs for work.. he shouldn't run linux. [03:35] Lachance: i see. haven't used mint [03:35] soulja, linux makes logs itself [03:36] i want linux to limit those log files [03:36] you can turn it of, if youlike [03:36] iicsa: buy this, my reccommendation .. all in one package http://www.bswusa.com/proditem.asp?item=C-1U [03:36] how/ [03:36] yeah,i see [03:36] how? * [03:36] umm [03:36] delimax, It's the same thing as Ubuntu, but with all the restricted packages already installed. (DVD, MP3, etc.) It's much more "noobie" friendly. [03:36] sec [03:36] Hey, what exactly does the "Extended IDE Drive" setting in BIOS do? I know what an extended IDE drive is, but does this setting just allow/disallow Ext. IDE drives? [03:36] melik, what app? [03:37] i forgot Lachance, it had a bronze rating on wine. [03:37] (implying it runs poorly) [03:37] logs are deleted [03:37] Lachance: do you run ubuntu? [03:37] melik, I see. I've never gotten Wine to run properly anyway. I avoid using it like the plague. >_> [03:37] sixofour: please holdon a sec [03:37] same. [03:38] i wast just clicking through an not reallyy ready yet to give support, especially on english [03:38] ./ is now 3.5gb [03:38] melik, Yes, Ubuntu was my first Linux and I still use it as my primary distro. [03:38] lol [03:38] i used to run ubuntu, but got sick of re-installing a new release. [03:38] 6.5gb free [03:38] or so [03:38] hey - i saw a buddys ubuntu the other day - and he has a really neat window manger where he can turn all his windows open, into 4 small equally seperate windows on his desktop [03:38] GeekSquid, awesome - and that takes sound card totally out of the picture. Drivers work in ubuntu? [03:38] melik, What're you running? [03:38] (cuz i like staying bleeding edge) [03:38] arch [03:38] what is that that does that? [03:39] qwertyjustin, Compiz has an effect like that, I think. You need to install the Compiz manager. (I think, I'll check for you...) [03:39] iicsa: yes, berhinger has always been good to me [03:39] GeekSquid, perfect. thanks so much for your help. [03:39] iicsa: you might need to uninstall pulseaudio to make it work [03:39] yeah i noticed i had compiz running as a service on 9.10 - any idea how to rip open the settings for it [03:39] ? [03:40] ok yea so I tried that when trying to get my SB audigy to work. What did you install in its place? [03:40] sixofour: so every some 5minutes you run out of memory? [03:40] qwertyjustin, Open your Applications->Ubuntu Software Center and search for Compiz [03:40] try first kill syslogd [03:40] !ccsm | qwertyjustin [03:40] qwertyjustin: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz [03:40] Souljah: wha- ? [03:40] melik, I've never used Arch, but I've heard lots of good things. =) [03:40] umm [03:40] Thanks GeekSquid =D [03:40] GeekSquid, when i removed pulseaudio, and rebooted - none of my apps would work (like even simple sound recorder) cuz it said it did not detect a sound device. [03:40] sixofour@MrBlowtatoes:~$ kill syslogd [03:40] bash: kill: syslogd: arguments must be process or job IDs [03:41] killall syslogd [03:41] Can I change from 32bit ubuntu to 64bit in place? [03:41] syslogd no process found [03:41] thanks [03:41] magn3ts, Not easily [03:42] Lachance: arch is great. [03:42] sixofour: ps -e | grep syslogd [03:42] iicsa: you can force it to use alsa, you shouldn't have to, however the microphone will detect nicely ,,, the other way would be to record with audacity and cut the audio back together with your screencast in avidemux [03:42] Jordan_U, :{ is /home safe to leave in place and then just upgrade / ? [03:42] Lachance: install once, configure once [03:42] sixofour: get the jobID [03:42] and: kill -9 ID [03:42] sixofour@MrBlowtatoes:~$ ps -e | grep syslogd [03:42] 838 ? 00:01:27 rsyslogd [03:42] then just keep updating your packages [03:42] kill -9 838 [03:42] melik, Debian is similar. I really love Debian, but the current release is really showing it's age. [03:42] magnetic_, If by upgrade you mean re-install, yes. [03:43] (sudo) [03:43] yeah arch just stays bleeding edge [03:43] ok [03:43] done [03:43] ps -e | grep syslogd again, too see if it comes upagain [03:43] (i think it should) [03:44] GeekSquid, I'm just thinking in regards to trying to get my SB Audigy SE to try to work. would save me $70. After i remove pulseaudio, how do you "force" alsa? [03:44] Souljah: lots of them are coming up, i am killing them [03:44] 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? [03:45] lots of them o_0 [03:45] 6 so far [03:45] crap [03:45] other solution... you say u NEVER need that logs (think about what you say) [03:45] SaratogaCx, Does setting up a static ip work? [03:45] i don't need them [03:45] why do i? [03:45] I havn't tried that. [03:46] iicsa: If I were you I'd look around and do more research, I know I have setup an Audigy, I just don't remember how, I go with the prostuff anyway and consumer stuff drives me crazy, and the last thing you would want is to drive me crazy [03:46] when you have errors, to see wherre and why u have them [03:46] simple thing thought [03:46] 8 killed now [03:46] lol [03:46] i can show you, how to not upstart this log daemon [03:46] but maybe some1 else has a better olution for this problem [03:47] can't i limit the size of logfiles? [03:47] it should be limeted... dont know what went wrong there, dude [03:47] GeekSquid, ok thanks :) [03:47] how do i check? [03:47] check wha [03:47] to see what the size is [03:47] limit [03:48] dont know [03:48] anyone know of a webpage dedicated to listing all linux libraries (or OSS libs).. by category/function.. by maturity/stability.. by license.. etc .. some place to catalog all the work out there to know if you need to write a new one or just use what already exists? [03:48] what did google tell you? [03:48] me/ [03:48] wow.. I feel dumb now... Apparently my WEP index was set wrong.. it's working now.. I'll go cray in a corner. [03:48] i didn't google iot [03:48] lol [03:49] distrowatch.com [03:49] with a book on learning how to spell [03:49] Plinker: that to me? [03:49] yep! [03:49] What does gdm read to figure out its display information? /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? [03:50] Plinker: but that has much more than libs.. and I"m not sure how I'd find .. say I'm looking for a library that makes network connections for me [03:50] GeekSquid, i freaking fixed it! So i just was messing w/ the alsamixer. there is some "shared mic/line in" setting. flipped that to mic in and works now... [03:50] sixofour: man logrotate [03:50] you can fire it up more than once a day [03:50] My mouse is being moved when I press my keypad keys. How do I get my normal keypad back? [03:50] the volume control applet does not expose the setting, only exposed in alsamixer [03:50] iwconfig wlan0 essid MyNetwork works but put wireless-essid MyNetwork in /etc/networks don't work. Do you need any help? [03:50] iicsa: now that was easy [03:50] firewhat? [03:51] *can [03:51] GeekSquid, haha not really. only took me a freakin hour :) [03:51] it can run automatically the often you want [03:51] duvnell: Some f what you want, not sure if there is an index like that? [03:51] hey everyone [03:51] (of) [03:51] kp5 clicks, kp+ double-clicks, kp4 moves my cursor left, kp6 moves it right, etc -- how do I stop that behaviour? [03:51] but thats not the perfect solution [03:51] Plinker: thinking of starting one [03:51] how do i do that... did i say i don't know what i am doing ? [03:51] might contact OSDN first [03:51] GeekSquid, still doesnt work well. i haev the "boost" all the way up to 100 and its still real quiet. [03:52] does anyone here know of a simple way to time how long a process takes to complete at the command line (compiling a kernel for example) ? [03:52] sixofour: anything is wrong with your syslog daemon, im not well in formed `bout it [03:52] maybe you ask some1 else,im sorry [03:52] mhaedo, time [03:52] * mhaedo feels stupid. [03:52] Jordan_U: thanks :) [03:52] lots of workarounds, but not the exact solution for your problem in my head [03:53] mhaedo, You're welcome. [03:53] how can i limit the size of all my system logs? [03:53] wow it works. so simple. so amazing. [03:53] now i dont have to sit around with a stopwatch to see how long it takes to compile my kernel! [03:53] * mhaedo is happy [03:53] GeekSquid, eh just got it. had to keep messing round. "analog s" => "mic", "mic" and "line in" to 100... [03:53] ya that is a cool tool mhaedo [03:54] isnt posible to get s dvd ubuntu iso image? [03:54] sixofour, With logrotate. === cooper is now known as cooper[afk] [03:55] Jordan_U: how don i do that/ [03:55] do* [03:55] isnt posible to get s dvd ubuntu iso image?? === jan247_ is now known as jan247 [03:55] Ze_M: iso's are available for download [03:56] robbwhere? [03:56] ubuntu.com :) [03:56] [robb] but not dvd isos afaik [03:56] Ze_M: don't follow you... [03:56] I'm on Lucid and my 'update-app-install keeps crashing and I have no sound...any help? [03:57] i just bought a netbook and i'm looking to install Ubuntu Netbook Remix, but it requires a 1gb usb flash drive. i only have a 512meg flash drive. can i install just a base system then update gui etc from there? or are there other options? [03:57] http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download [03:57] Ze_M: maybe http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#dvd ? [03:57] [robb] i dont see 4gb iso images available to download [03:58] how do i limit? [03:58] i did logrotate 100k it didn't work [03:58] logrotate size 100k [03:58] * [03:58] kameron, personally, i hate the netbook remix, just go with 9.04 [03:59] [robb] but isnt availabel for 10 [03:59] hi [03:59] Elrox, either way, i have the same problem of a small usb flash drive. any solution? netinstall maybe? === ganja is now known as ganjaman [03:59] is there a boost ppa for karmic? [03:59] <[_miT_]> is there a way to 'load balance' two connections on ubuntu? (say WLAN and LAN) [03:59] i need boost version 1.41 [03:59] 10.x is going to be alpha? still [03:59] [robb] alpha3 [03:59] hello [03:59] so then... [04:00] mandriva put available in all rc releases a dvd iso [04:00] sixofour, /etc/logrotate.conf You probably want to uncomment "compress" and add something like "size 500M" [04:00] including for both arches [04:00] kameron, there is a net-install, but i will have to look tomorrow from work,,, unless someone else here knows... [04:00] Jordan_U: i want to do like size 100m max [04:00] Ze_M: last url has the answer... [04:00] sixofour, That's fine [04:00] Elrox, i did a netinstall one time to a base debian system, and upgraded to ubuntu. this was years ago and it was hell. i hope there's something official by ubuntu now.. there must be. [04:00] does rotate delete logs or jsut make a bunch of 100mb logs? [04:00] [robb] wich url? [04:01] Is there a way to extend the / partition? [04:01] like .1 .2 .3 .4 etc all 100mb [04:01] <[_miT_]> darkstar1: try gpart? [04:01] darkstar1: load a LiveCD, install gparted [04:01] exit [04:01] qui [04:01] <[_miT_]> lol [04:01] gparted is installed but I can't unmount to extend the partition [04:01] sixofour, It rotates the logs after they become the specified size, by default 4 copies are kept but you can change that. [04:02] i want 0 copies [04:02] <[_miT_]> darkstar1: hence why one would boot via LiveCD :) [04:02] and jsut delete when 100mb [04:02] sixofour, compress will also help a LOT since it's text. [04:02] [_miT_]: thanks.. there's no other way? [04:02] what is that tool that compresses best .. isn't it 7zip or something? forgot [04:02] sixofour, Change "rotate 4" to "rotate 0" then. [04:03] How do I force a resoultion despite a KVM switch interfering w detection? X is ignoring my modeline. [04:03] hi, where would i find ubuntu specific documentation for the pure-ftpd package? [04:03] <[_miT_]> darkstar1: im sure there are tons of other ways, this is linux ;) .. but thats the eaisest (for me anyway) [04:03] Hey, the latest Intel processor is the i7, right? [04:03] [_miT_]: thanks [04:03] where do i add the size line? [04:03] <[_miT_]> adante: 'man pure-ftpd' from terminal? [04:03] After an attempted downgrade to grub-legacy from grub2, I accidentally ran grub-install to my /boot partition and not my mbr. [04:03] kameron, look at the section "Server and network installations" from here--->> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation [04:04] Now I think I've corrupted my /boot, and cannot mount that partition via livecd [04:04] hey, anyone happen to know how to build a kernel the "ubuntu way" with a -j flag to use multiple cores? [04:04] ie. with make-kpkg [04:04] Is there a way to basically reset the /boot partition to the state its in right after install? [04:04] <[_miT_]> is there a way to 'load balance' two connections on ubuntu? (say WLAN and LAN) [04:05] Jordan_U: where do i put the size 20m option/ [04:05] [_miT_]: that looks like the generic documentation [04:05] <[_miT_]> adante: i cheat and use the GTK package to manage my users/folders/ect for pure-ftpd :) [04:05] Hi has anyone had a problem with a logitech quickcam and skype? [04:06] mclark1128, grub-install shouldn't ever harm a file system. What filesystem is your /boot and what error do you get when you try to mount it? [04:06] who can tell me how to control the length of the conky [04:06] [robb] whats an alternate iso? [04:06] <[_miT_]> lenovo: did you edit the conkyrc file? [04:06] Jordan_U: fdisk -l says my boot (/dev/sda2) is HPFS/NTFS [04:06] sixofour, Anywhere, but right before the rotate option is probably a good place since they are related. [04:06] here's the thing [04:07] yes [04:07] ok Jordan_U [04:07] Before I was able to run 'sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/boot' [04:07] anything else i can do? [04:07] and it was great [04:07] now if i run the same command i get [04:07] "mount: you must specify the filesystem type" [04:07] ok, time to see if the rt kernal works [04:08] :p [04:08] why is gnome the default WM instead kde? [04:08] if i try "sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sda2 /mnt/boot" I get [04:08] "wrong fs type" [04:08] if i try ntfs I get [04:08] <[_miT_]> mclark1128: and fdisk reads it as NTFS? [04:09] that's what it says in the 'system' column [04:09] which I thought was strange [04:09] My initial problem was that GRUB2 was caught in an infinite reboot [04:09] <[_miT_]> mclark1128: weird. [04:10] Likely due to the installation of Adobe CS3 on my Windows 7 partition [04:10] (I think their updater software might somehow corrupt grub's space) [04:10] mclark1128, I'm not sure how Adobe CS3 would affect grub [04:10] unable to create './usr/lib32/libGL.so.1.2' no such file or directory [04:11] uhhh. that file is there [04:11] I'm not sure either, except that I read several posts that alluded to some diagnostic software might cause this issue [04:11] and how does a file not being there make it impossible to create it [04:11] Elrox, i think this option might work for me, as the netbook already has windows installed. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows [04:11] isnt that backwards? [04:11] Like dell or HP diagnostic, so I thought perhaps Adobe updater could behave similarly [04:11] at any rate the issue happened literally the first reboot after installing adobe [04:11] after restoring grub2 the first time [04:12] I was able to boot to linux, and restart [04:12] and return to grub [04:12] Has anyone had a problem where Vino server makes a computer available over the Internet, when there is no port forwarding on the router for such computer? Port scans reveal that in fact 5900 is open and being used by VNC software. [04:12] but after returning to windows grub was locked up again [04:12] I use Ardour application. Will the Update Manager tell me when a new version is available? [04:12] <[_miT_]> is there a way to 'load balance' two connections on ubuntu? (say WLAN and LAN) [04:12] either way, I've had other issues with grub2 so I've decided to downgrade [04:12] mclark1128: what issues, out of curiosity [04:12] renaming the file made no different [04:12] And i was SOOO close, but i just made a mistake on literally the last step [04:12] difference [04:13] mclark1128, My guess is that you have a braindead OEM 'feature' that is thinking your windows install is broken and is trying to 'fix' it. I think installing grub to a partition is just a read herring. [04:13] In Ubuntu, do I need to uninstall programs before installing their updated version? Install "on top of" them? [04:14] <[_miT_]> Fezzler: good question, i've always just installed over them. [04:14] mclark1128, Installing CS3 might have triggered the OEM software, but there's no way CS3 itself caused this. [04:14] does ubuntu have a way of pulling a serial number out of a computer, when all the stickers have been removed from the case? [04:14] Fezzler, you can just use the "-upgrade" tag on apt-get. [04:14] Balsaq: serial number for what exactly? [04:14] Balsaq, no [04:14] Is there a way to make my web cam turn on while using skype? [04:14] <[_miT_]> Balsaq: you can try to look at the info of "sudo lshw" [04:15] Jordan_U: Fair enough, I just felt it may be somehow related since I have never had this problem until I installed it. [04:15] jeri: does it work using cheese? [04:15] Like you said, it could have triggered some other software causing it.

[04:16] so, is it possible to restore /boot/ to its original state? [04:16] Fezzler, if you have a local .deb to install it's reccomended to remove the original program and install the newer .deb [04:16] ok is there any alternative to skype [04:17] jeri, Ekiga perhaps?

Once you have done that, if windows ever clobbers grub again send a message to the grub-devel mailing list or try #grub and they will most likely tell you how to give them a dump of your embedded are to try to fig [04:20] ure out what is doing it.

[04:24] <[_miT_]> hky: or if you want to purge everything (including config files) run: sudo apt-get purge conntrack [04:25] nFxus: I've always been happy with XFS. ReiserFS is good too [04:25] <|604|> what does that have to do with killing kde at startup? [04:25] nFxus: Use ext3 [04:25] with luks encryption as well [04:25] nFxus: ext4 may have bugs and xfs has problems with error recovery. [04:26] explin error reconvery pls.. [04:26] nFxus: It depends too on what you intend to do with the overall filesystem. if you're not going to grow the filesystem ext3 is good [04:26] but if you're going to need to scale up, ext3 takes a long time to resize a volume [04:26] nFxus:ext4 and xfs are faster than ext3 though. [04:27] millhouse513: He said error recovery is very important. [04:27] jarray52: ah, didn't see that.. Hrm.. well ext3 is VERY good for that; worst case you can mount it as ext2. xfs though I've seen be pretty reliable as well [04:27] error recovery being if a drive dies correct [04:27] [_miT_]: i mean the conntrack in kernel module === pakotm is now known as Guest4525 [04:28] HI all!

It's fast. But, I don't store customer data and such things. [04:29] <|604|> when i boot kde and type in my password it loads 50% and then says this: no write access to /home/sixofour/.ICEauthority [04:29] nFxus: zfs is available for Linux via FUSE. I've used it for an iSCSI based in-house storage solution...It's good. I can't say much about performance because there was a lot i couldn't test, but it's a good filesystem [04:29] |604|, Did you read the link from ubottu? [04:30] so let me understand the error recovery part.. you are talking about when a drive dies and it resyncs correct [04:30] <|604|> no, there are like 40 different pages to read [04:30] is it safe to do aptitude purge libnetfilter-conntrack1 while the box live [04:30] jarray52: what filesystem do you use for >16TB?

[04:35] jarray52: we had a bunch of data.. the data was such that it grew because of the process and got pretty big.. XFS gave us really nice speed...in fact we consolidated to one linux server vs. three windows/ntfs servers which accomplished the same outcome :) [04:35] it will be accessed daily [04:35] more reads then writes [04:35] kyle2: cups can easily be handeled in Ubuntu Gui [04:35] nFxus: i haven't done encryption.. === Guest4525 is now known as PakoTM [04:35] <|604|> Jordan_U i did that, now restart x?

[04:35] random [04:36] heh [04:36] nFxus: well, we setup a 14x500GB raid5 (mdadm) array running XFS and it ran pretty well--fast enough that the company moved operations to just it from three windows fs servers [04:36] <|604|> ok [04:36] kyle2: on the host PC (PC with printer to be shared) go into printing from System > Admin > Printing [04:36] <|604|> now, what is the kernal command?

[04:36] nFxus: that could be once a day. 100 times a day, etc... [04:36] brandon__: done...

[04:39] i'm 604 [04:39] abc [04:39] jarray52 expline the randomness [04:39] i dont understand that [04:39] nFxus: i'd recommend xfs. just make sure no one hits the reset button on the server when you're in the middle of a TON of writes ;-) [04:39] nFxus: completely random or in 100 MB chuncks? [04:39] kyle2: Also make sure under Server > connect you have (Without Quotes "/var/run/cups/cups.sock" [04:39] ahh [04:39] 1-100+ chunks [04:39] we had that once...only time we had to do xfs recovery...it took a while, but it came back [04:39] sixofour, No idea about the sound issue. [04:39] nFxus: chunk=? [04:40] varies from 1mb to 100+mb [04:40] ext3 just takes a while to expand its fs...and you have to take the filesystem offline to do it. [04:40] kyle2: then on the Pc's to be hooked up check mark Server > Setting > (Show Printers Shared By other Systems, Allow Printing From Internet) [04:40] i think it took...1 hour to expand 1-2TB for volume? [04:40] ya i have that issue now. with ext3 [04:40] kyle2: Then your other pcs should detect the printer on the same network automatically [04:40] nFxus: xfs is very fast for large chunks. It's performance waynes as data reads become more random. [04:40] millhouse513, And xfs can't shrink at all, which I always found odd. [04:41] brandon__: thank you sir [04:41] ok so far.. xfs seems to be the one you all lean towards... [04:41] kyle2: No Problem, printing was my hardest step in learning ubuntu, but its actually quite simple [04:42] millhouse513: Does raid offer protection against xfs file corruptions? [04:42] Jordan_U: why would you want to take disk space away? ..i understand though, but i think when SGI wrote the fs they didn't think you'd want to downsize ;) [04:42] jarray52: i want to say no.. raid offers protection from a failing hard drive [04:42] HI all!

[04:43] nFxus: What application do you have in mind? [04:43] is any one aware of a ext2/3/4 driver for windows 7? [04:43] Guys Im trying to connect a Serial Printer to ubuntu through a USB to Serial Adapter, lsusb detects the adapter but cups wont detect the printer .... [04:43] nFxus: I would do some testing... easiest thing to do is setup the raid sets, format with xfs/ext3, then simulate some heavy i/o and do something nasty like hit the power button...see which comes back and if you need to run the recovery tools, which one comes back clean [04:43] nFxus: will the smallest data chunk be 1MB? [04:44] kyle2: http://www.fs-driver.org/ [04:45] I'm experiencing periodic disconnects using Ubuntu Netbook remix. Does anyone know what could cause this? [04:45] i would think so ya [04:45] nFxus, Just to make your decision harder, I'd recommend ext4. It's the current standard, can deal with large files and filesystems, and can be converted directly to btrfs when btrfs is ready. [04:45] maybe 1mb. would be hard for me to pinpont that one [04:45] is btrfs riser? [04:45] millhouse513: I don't believe that driver is supported in windows 7 [04:45] nFxus, No [04:45] or what was riser [04:45] kk [04:46] jarray52: possibly similiar to USB power cycle issues? [04:46] Jordan_U: oh wow I didn't know that about converting to btrfs [04:46] when is the finial for btrfs [04:46] Jordan_U says EXT4 and millhouse513 says XFS... I got that right? [04:46] robb: Sorry. I didn't understand what you meant. [04:46] im wondering is it hard to manage a 64 bit ubuntu system? I mean, tar'ing and rebuilding stuff for the 64 bit version?

The disconnects occur while the computer is being actively used. [04:49] millhouse513, It's pretty awesome actually. btrfs uses the "free space" from the ext2/3/4 filesystem, writes all of its meta-data there pointing to the same data blocks from the ext4 partition...

[05:14] derenrich, You may want to look into sed [05:14] my software called miro internet tv can not play some rmvb files .how i do [05:16] can ubuntu 8.04 directory update to ubuntu 10.04? [05:17] * genii ponders "directory update" [05:17] genii, I think he meant directly [05:17] dsnyders, i also don't find any other frontend to povray in the repository :( don't have any suggestions for you. [05:17] yurebis: You can go from Long Term Support version to next Long Term Support directly, yes [05:17] ZykoticK9, Thanks for looking. [05:18] yurebis, 10.04 hasn't been released yet though [05:18] hi .. i am trying to setup a vpn connection between 9.1 and a remote network.. i was able to set it up the first time .. but then i restarted it and its not connected anymore .. how do i fix that? [05:18] How can I change the IRQ of my soundcard? I don't seem to have the option in BIOS. [05:19] Monona: Usually on the load option in /etc/modules [05:19] Monona: eg: drivername irq=# [05:19] genii: How do I access that? [05:19] ZykoticK9, BTW, I'm planning to upgrade my machine (800MHz, 380MB) to one that can handle virtualization. What are you running on? [05:19] Monona: Do you know the name of the module your soundcard uses? [05:20] dsnyders, AMD 64 X2 6400+ [05:20] Has anyone else had luck changing the window manager GNOME uses? I tried changing it in gconf-editor...but I log out, and log back in again and it returns to compiz. [05:20] parolang: I use fusion-icon, seemed the easiest route [05:20] What's that? [05:20] Monona: When you do, open /etc/modules by: alt-f2 gksu gedit /etc/modules add the modulename it uses and the irq=# after it. [05:21] ZykoticK9, What motherboard? [05:21] parolang: lets you change between compiz/gnome WM, and emerald [05:21] gennii: Would it be snd_hda_intel, maybe? [05:21] parolang, Turn off desktop effects in System > Preferences > Appearance [05:21] MilitantPotato: I'm trying to use sawfish :) [05:21] dsnyders, Asus something or other (would have to reboot to find out, sorry) - i only have 4G of ram on my system, wish i had more. [05:22] parolang: it lists all the ones currently installed, did for me atleast, even let me use kwin in gnome [05:22] Jordan_U: It's set on none :/ [05:22] ZykoticK9, Only 4G, he says! Sheesh! Did you read my sub 1G specs? [05:22] Monona: That is likely. so you would put similar to: snd-hda-intel irq=7 as an example. And use hyphens and not underbars [05:23] dsnyders, sorry, didn't mean to belittle your rig in any way man ;) [05:23] MilitantPotato: I'll see if it works. Thanks. [05:23] ZykoticK9, That's Okay. I'll get over it. [05:23] * dsnyders dabs tears from his eyes [05:24] trying to ./configure a program (not available as a a package, I checked) : configure: error: *** Qt toolkit not found, unable to continue *** -- have installed libqt4-dev, qhat am I missing? [05:24] ZykoticK9, Seriously, though, Thanks for trying kpovmodeler out for me. [05:25] software is http://www.rivendellaudio.org/ if it helps... [05:25] dsnyders, sorry i couldn't be more help. i must say, i think it's interesting that it's not in the Lucid repo - i take it someone out there doesn't like kpovmodeler [05:25] Okay...I think I must of messed up my X somehow. fusion-icon says Fatal: No composite extension. Lots of apps are complaining about it. [05:26] I think it's because I installed Nvidia drivers... [05:26] gennii: Just so I'm sure, this should be /etc/modules, right? There's only three other modules in here right now. I just add snd-hda-intel irq=13 at the end? [05:26] Does anyone used the chat program KOPETE?? [05:27] ZykoticK9, Maybe it's not there because of issues like mine. Or maybe they just haven't filled out the repositories yet. [05:27] dsnyders, oh the repos are pretty full at this point, i'm guessing it's NOT going to be in Lucid [05:28] Monona: Yes [05:28] ZykoticK9, I understand kpovmodeler was moved out from the "core" repositories to multiverse. [05:29] gennii: Thanks. I'll reboot and see how it goes. [05:29] Monona: Sorry for not responding earlier, I didn't get a message highlight because you wrote "genni" instead of "genii" and I was in another channel ... [05:29] dsnyders, well it looks like it's now been moved out of multiverse as well... there is probably a PPA with one though, have you checked? what version of kpov are you using now? [05:30] dsnyders, or not - by the looks of things [05:31] is there a way to put nvidia drivers on a live cd for pirsonal use [05:31] ZykoticK9, 3.6.1 [05:32] dsnyders, searching PPAs and don't find a single entry... not looking good for this program man [05:32] ZykoticK9, Sorry, that's the version number of povray.

I was supposed to use - instead of _, right? And all lowercase? [05:38] ZykoticK9, Odd that they would have povray, but not kpovmodeler. [05:38] dsnyders, yup no kpovmodeler for Lucid man [05:39] Hello everyone [05:39] A quick question [05:39] !ask | stueh [05:39] stueh: 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).

[05:42] The manpage conflicts with the binary here [05:42] (Karmic) [05:42] superuser, works here - would you like me to pastebin the output? [05:43] i see a lot of posts on the forums about failures with i3 330m processors.. what's the status of that? [05:43] ZykoticK9: That would help [05:43] superuser, http://paste.ubuntu.com/387421/ [05:44] I installed Enlightenment E16 On my Ubuntu Netbook Remix version 9.10, and decided to try E16 + GNOME. Now GNOME has some strange problems, even when I log into the regular GNOME session. [05:44] superuser, verify that you also have nvidia-xconfig version 1.0 before using any of that help page! we might/are using different versions of apps [05:45] The screen keeps flashing. [05:45] And sometimes there's no menu bar. [05:46] ZykoticK9: Can you do '/exec - dpkg -s nvidia-settings | grep Version' ? [05:46] The menu [05:47] The menu's not showing up at all. [05:47] Are there any tricks around to speed up flash in linux at all? [05:47] superuser, Version: 190.53-0ubuntu1 < told you, different versions [05:48] ZykoticK9: Hum, weird, my system tells me there are no updates available. Are you using Karmic or Lucid? [05:49] superuse1, ;) can't say, not Karmic :) [05:49] i need a video editor for vob format. any tips? [05:50] Is there a way I can fix GNOME without reinstalling the whole system? [05:50] ZykoticK9: do a 'cat /etc/lsb-release', it'll tell you [05:50] superuser, oh "I" know the answer [05:50] owen1, I think that pitivi can edit any format that gstreamer supports ( which you can tell by trying to play the file in totem ) [05:50] ddelony: try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure gnome-desktop' [05:51] ZykoticK9: Oh ok [05:51] Jordan_U: i played it with mplayer. is it the same? [05:51] owen1, No [05:51] test === superuse1 is now known as vhann [05:52] Jordan_U: so i'll try with totem [05:53] anyone know how to block udev from upgrading...ubuntu for arm arch doesn't support the latest udev with the latest kernel [05:53] Hello!

Which version of Ubuntu should I be downloading? i386 or amd64? [05:56] melow01: either will work fine [05:56] rww, oh ok. I was a little confused between the two. I thought i386 was strickly 32-bit but I suppose I [05:56] rww, wrong? [05:56] melow01: amd64 [05:56] Oh, so Lucid isn't a 'rolling' release yet? [05:57] melow01: Core 2 processors can run 32-bit or 64-bit operating systems. [05:57] vhann: Ubuntu doesn't do rolling releases. [05:57] vhann: It won't ever be [05:57] vhann: Debian is a rolling release, *buntu is on a 6 month release cycle [05:57] rww, so is the i386 version 32-bit by default? [05:57] melow01: Yes [05:57] melow01: i386 is 32-bit. amd64 is 64-bit. [05:57] Hum, seems like I didn't use the right term here [05:58] Is there a package that will image my hard drive while Ubuntu is running? [05:58] Has anyone else had problems with Enlightenment? [05:58] genii: Debain Unstable is rolling. actual Debian releases aren't... [05:58] rww: Yeah, true [05:58] I mean 'isn't officially out yet'... which is actually obvious since we aren't in April yet [05:59] rww, I would like to run a 64-bit version of the OS. The Ubuntu amd64 version will work on an Intel Quad Core? [05:59] vhann: Yeah, it's coming out at the end of April. [05:59] melow01: on a Core 2 Quad? Yes, it will work fine. [05:59] rww, ok thanks [05:59] melow01: The "amd" part of "amd64" is deceptive, i know [05:59] melow01, although it's called amd64 it works just as well on intel64 [05:59] Ok, so every non-free nvidia package I have here is F'ed up [05:59] sddds [05:59] genii: so is i386, since it doesn't actually support i386 any more, iirc. [06:00] Hello every one. [06:00] hello!! [06:00] genii, ZykoticK9 Good to know.... I was confused by the naming conventions and I don't know the history all too well [06:00] rww: Well, maybe 386DX [06:00] Anyone know the default location of the wl.ko module? [06:00] nvidia-xconfig --help tells me '--help' is not a supported option (then it tells me the only supported options are --help and something), nvidia 173 Series driver won't load... [06:01] What should I do about those? Anybody have a clue? [06:01] Screw the nvidia driver...nothing but pain [06:01] Well, this is the first time i have played with XChat very nice.

[06:03] blakkheim: Their drivers aren't as good, but in theory developers have everything to develop good open source drivers. [06:03] Aciid: probably a step above the 280m, right? (i don't know graphics cards very well) [06:03] mhaedo: yes, but I dont spend much money on em [06:03] jarray52: It's generated by dkms from the bcmwl-kernel-source package. My system has copies at /var/lib/dkms/bcmwl/5.10.91.9+bdcom/KERNELVERSION/i686/module/wl.ko and /lib/modules/KERNELVERSION/updates/dkms/wl.ko [06:03] blakkheim: Looks more like malay than spanish [06:03] parolang: I use a nvidia quadro fx 570m with the restricted driver version 185 with no problems. Just installed and rebooted. [06:03] genii: i dont know the malay command [06:03] Aciid: i'm running a laptop that was designed for gaming just because I wanted compiz to look pretty :) [06:03] and i lovvvve it [06:03] mhaedo: my gaming laptop just came back from fujitsu [06:04] Aciid: specs? [06:04] the fan was full of dust, and the motherboard crippled [06:04] how can i reload my keyboard drivers? [06:04] I have an ati 200m it can be hard to get ati cards to work [06:04] Hebram: geoforce fx5200 here...and it just seems to go coocoo. [06:04] I have a Sager 8690. Damn near everything worked out of the box.

Do you happen to know why there are two copies of the wl.ko file? [06:05] it was like ~1200e retail [06:05] jarray52: No idea. I assume it has something to do with the dkms process, and I don't understand how dkms works. [06:05] mhaedo: I need to tackle my upek biometric as well. Haven't attempted it yet. [06:06] Hebram: wanna tackle it now? i'd be happy to help you out [06:06] Hebram: while it's still fresh in my mind [06:07] mhaedo: I really appreciate the offer, but it is bedtime for me. You in the channel much? [06:07] The top menu bar in Ubuntu Netbook Remix is gone. [06:07] Aciid: just got me an i7 820qm, 4GB DDR3-1333mhz, GTX 280M, Full HD 1080p [06:07] Hebram: I was just trying to use it for multihead support. I just took the second monitor out right now. It was freezing up, crashing programs...bad bad. [06:07] Hebram: not really man. but just remember, it can be done [06:08] There's also no Window manager. [06:08] mhaedo: I'll stomp it. Google is my friend. [06:08] Hebram: you have to compile a few things by hand, tweak one file to get it to compile, and use FingerprintGUI instead of fprint [06:08] Hebram: just remember when you get to the compilation error you have to change elsif to else because of GCC4 [06:09] parolang: I haven't attempted multiple monitors yet. [06:09] multiple monitors is easy [06:09] mhaedo: OK [06:09] Hi all Im on an Ubuntu 9.10 and my Home partition is sort of filling up and I noticed a folder taking 14.4 gb of space. It is under .local/share/gvfs-metadata Im guessing that I should not be deleting this to reclaim space or would it be ok to delete this folder at all ? [06:09] but you have to have a decent graphics card to get compositing to work on both monitors [06:09] Got it. Enabled Visual effects. [06:09] g'night all [06:10] don't you just love the "got it" moments. :) [06:11] ddelony: There must be a window manager even if those are disabled. [06:11] Filled-Void, that folder takes up 852K on my system [06:11] ddelony: Ubuntu's got two window managers in GNOME, compiz (one with desktop effects and stuff) and metacity (one without) [06:12] Anybody know a good 3d modelling software? [06:12] dsnyders: Blender [06:13] I removed Enlightment, but the references to E16 are still in the Sessions menu. [06:13] ZykoticK9, Thanks Im checking the community wiki and seeing if its ok to remove at the moment :D . I find it odd that one file would take up 14 gb though [06:13] dsnyders "blender" [06:14] Filled-Void, actually I'm guessing it's 100s or 1000s of files actually [06:14] Any chances that gdm2setup will be included into Ubuntu by default in future? [06:14] darolu, I tried Blender once. It was unintuitive. [06:14] isn't there a ubuntu handbook? [06:14] Filled-Void: Do you have any partitions or network shares mounted? [06:15] rww, Its my system at home so I dont believe so :o [06:15] rww, As fopr mounting partitions I do use a external drive once in a whie dont know it that counts though [06:16] anyone here familiar with compiling ubuntu kernels with make-kpkg? [06:16] Filled-Void: Well, if you aren't using it now, it won't count. [06:16] rww, The file name is home.ptnw7u [06:16] Filled-Void: Hmm. Usually, when I see a lot of stuff in there, it's actually links to data I'm accessing through Places->Connect to Server [06:16] rww, Negative I dont connect to any other servers :D Just using ubuntu as a basic win replacement [06:17] Filled-Void: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoverLostDiskSpace look at this ... especially the part about tune2fs [06:18] rww:Thanks again. My problem seems to be solved for the time being. [06:18] dsnyders: it is very different than other apps, it is true, after a while you get used to it, in my opinion is the most -complete- opensource 3D software; there are other options though K3D is not entirely bad. [06:18] GeekSquid, reading that now :) [06:19] How do I get GDM to update the list of available sessions? [06:19] well, you guys stay cool it's bed time for me [06:19] !gdm [06:20] is there any disk defragmenter in ubuntu (like windows)?

[06:21] adarsha, not out of the box. The ext2 and ext3 filesystems try and avoid de-fragmentation, rather than trying to cure it. But I have seen 3rd party ones around. If its advisable to use it, well thats debatable. [06:21] Jordan_U, can you really say Anything is the "vi" of Anything else... :) [06:22] Thanks for the help folks I think i just recovered about 32 gb :D [06:22] Filled-Void: how so [06:22] thanks, guys! :) [06:23] mhaedo , removed one of the files in the gvfs-metadata folder , found torrents using twice the space . I swtiched clients in between (long story) [06:23] How do you install plugin manually in firefox in ~/ ? [06:23] Filled-Void: what exactly does that directory contain? [06:23] ZykoticK9, Blender is the vi of 3D software ^[:w! [06:24] Jordan_U, I'm looking for more of a gedit of 3D software. However, I'm glad you didn't say blender was the Emacs of 3D software. [06:24] mhaedo, A bunch of log files and a file I cant seem to open in any application at all which is using up 14.4 gb and was last used last week :o [06:24] uh... dont ignore me [06:24] interesting [06:24] dsnyders, LOL gedit of 3d software -- awesome man! [06:24] !patience | perscitus [06:24] perscitus: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [06:24] can someone help me? my wi fi connects with ubuntu, n95, but not on windows.... [06:24] does any1 know about wi fi that could help me? [06:25] darolu, Blender looks like it can do animations. Hmm... that may be interesting later on. [06:25] blakkheim, When God was handing out patience, i thought he was talking about doctor's visits. [06:25] jaypur: just ask [06:26] jaypur, if your having problem with windows you should join the ##windows channel [06:26] perscitus, I spent three weeks asking the same question until someone took pity on me. [06:26] dsnyders: oh yeah, actually there are some films made entirely in Blender, like Elephants Dream and Big Buck Bunny. Give it a try, you may want to try K3D too, is not bad. [06:26] rzx237, already done that [06:26] i'm on it [06:26] mhaedo, Ive been using Ubuntu on an old system it only has a 80gb drive xD I should go out and just get another drive . But not sure if i can add another /home partition :x. [06:26] darolu, A look at k3d is my next step. [06:26] ... probably followed by looking for a blender tutorial.

[06:27] perscitus: please stop repeating yourself so quickly [06:27] perscitus: copying files in ~/.mozilla/firefox/plugins would be my guess; not entirely sure though [06:28] darolu, nopr. === katie11 is now known as katie13 [06:28] perscitus, you tried google or the ubuntu forums? [06:28] brb folks :) [06:28] darolu, thats correct if its the flash plugin that is [06:28] Filled-Void: you could set up a software RAID array to have them both appear as one [06:28] knoppies, already on it but no luck yet [06:28] perscitus, So far, Im out of ideas. [06:29] perscitus, what plugin [06:30] indus, undisclosed. [06:30] perscitus, ? then go to another channel for help [06:31] indus, dont be rude [06:31] perscitus, Perhaps they can help in #firefox. [06:31] perscitus, how do you expect anyone to help if you cant really say what you want to do [06:31] perscitus: how do you expect people to help if you're not telling them the full story? indus isn't being rude at all [06:31] perscitus: What is the problem? Sorry, missed it [06:32] Emerald Theme Manager is being weird, but my emerald theme to be working I have to terminal "emerald --replace" and I can't close that terminal window. eh? [06:32] indus Nijverheid dont troll. ie, be argumentative. [06:32] defrag program, any such animal or need ? [06:32] can anyone see this? [06:32] Lappie: yep [06:32] Lappie: nope. try again [06:33] ty, i was afaraid that somethin was not working properly [06:33] !defrag > Quan-Time [06:33] Quan-Time, please see my private message [06:33] Quan-Time: Unless you're using FAT filesystems, although no idea how to defrag those even. Linux filesystems don't get fragmented [06:33] perscitus: I'd say it's quite the opposite personally. You've already paid no heed to half the channel guidlines. I'd suggest reading the channel guidlines at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines before participating in the channel :) [06:33] theadmin, well, that's not really true - they do fragment, a little [06:33] ZykoticK9: o_O So there IS a need? Eek. [06:34] if i was banned in a room, is there a way for me to see if i was? [06:34] !coc | perscitus perhaps this would be a better document for you [06:34] awesome.. cheers [06:34] perscitus perhaps this would be a better document for you: The Ubuntu Code of Conduct is a community etiquette document to which we ask all Ubuntu users to adhere, and can be found at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct/ . For information on how to electronically sign the CoC, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SigningCodeofConduct . [06:34] theadmin, oh i don't think there is a need but file do get fragmented (ever so little) [06:34] Lappie: Yep. You'd get a error "Can't send to channel" [06:34] steam (via wine) has just started whinging about needing a defrag to play games.. wtf... anyway. ill ignore it [06:34] ok ty again [06:34] Quan-Time: Steam filesystem is a separate thing [06:34] hy [06:34] Quan-Time: PM me about that [06:35] GeekSquid, i know both irc guidelines and CoC ( i have it signed) so broke none of them. welcome to ignore. dont be disrespectful. [06:36] perscitus: then I suggest you stop telling off people who could potentially help you ;) [06:36] does he have a real problem? [06:36] Nijverheid, i never did [06:36] since u guys were tkin about linux, what is the best way for someone to learn about using that os? [06:36] perscitus: 3 times in the last 10 minutes in fact === vbits is now known as Vbitz [06:37] !dual [06:37] Lappie, help.ubuntu.com [06:37] darolu, can blender load kpovmodeler files? [06:37] Lappie: There are many ways. Linux is awesome because you have the Freedom of Choice === Nightwolf42 is now known as Nightwolf [06:37] Lappie: For starters... Using it as your main OS... You'll learn fast that way. [06:37] Nijverheid, Your on ignore. Keep it it up and i will report you. [06:38] Whenever my gnome panel loads, the wifi/network icon in the Notification applet is 'blacked out' and/or missing. I can resolve the problem by deleting the notification applet and re-adding it to the panel, but its a pain to do that everytime I log in. Anybody got any ideas? [06:38] perscitus: just move on [06:38] can i have it and vista on the same sys? [06:38] perscitus: uh, huh, show me a launchpad page and I will believe you, seems you like anonymity [06:38] perscitus: Yeah, go put the whole channel on ignore, infact you just did so with quite well-known supporters. [06:38] Is there a way to remap mouse buttons for a single program without using imwheel? [06:38] perscitus: if I'm on ignore then how on earth can you know if I'm saying anything about/to you? [06:38] Lappie, there are various ways to achieve that. SO YES. [06:38] ...I just tried to tab-autocomplete "ignore" [06:38] lol good point [06:39] Can you people move on from the meta talk and punching each other to actually helping the channel visitors with their Ubuntu problems and questions? [06:39] theadmin, I do that with many things. All long words in emails and things. Im looking for a plugin to 'life' that would tab-complete stuff for me. [06:39] Nijverheid, let up. If he doesn't want help, don't give it to him. Just don't waste your time on pettiness. [06:39] i want to be on ignore too.. ..lol [06:39] theadmin, and yet they break CoC. [06:39] perscitus, so i ask again, what is the problem you have, moving a plugin (undisclosed one according to you ) to ./mozilla/plugins? [06:39] Lappie, you still there? [06:39] yep [06:39] indus, Tried and never worked [06:39] perscitus, what plugin i ask again [06:40] elky: will do :) sorry for any inconvenience [06:40] perscitus: Well. I asked you what the problem is (i missed the time when you said it) and you didn't even respond [06:40] perscitus, ok some last advice, if it s not working, its because of conflict with an existing plugin from somewhere in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins [06:41] Lappie, ok, you can either run ubuntu (or windows) in a VM (assuming your machine has some power under the hood). Or you can 'multi-boot' by installing it on separate HDDs and/or partitions [06:41] I know there isnt a conflict. [06:41] Lappie, on multi boot you will be given the option to boot either linux OR windows everytime you turn the PC on. So to switch between them, you have to restart. [06:42] hmm, well, i dk if i "have some power under the hood" or not its a lappie w core duo 2ghz, 3gig mem, 100gb hd [06:42] dsnyders: I don't really know if Blender loads kpovmodeler files as I have never used kpovmodeler but considering both are open source projects chances are very good it does [06:42] Yah i keep XP and Ubuntu together, Lappie, i have some experience with that, so you can ask any questions away about it. note that installing Windows after Linux will destroy GRUB, so keep an Ubuntu Live CD near ya [06:42] perscitus try restarting firefox [06:43] Lappie, then a VM would be an option, just dont expect it to be the fastest thing around. [06:43] i have one of those acer lil laptops, maybe i should use it as a guinie pig [06:43] it aint good for much anyhow [06:43] How do I change the icon for xterm so that it shows up on my docky themed gnome-do? [06:43] theadmin: is there any way to get back grub after it got destroyed by installing windows? or should i install ubuntu all over again? [06:43] Lappie: I agree. You want to buy my netbook? :) [06:43] Are there any alternatives to imwheel on Ubuntu? [06:43] Lappie, as theadmin stated, its often easier if you install windows FIRST and linux SECOND so that linux deals with booting. [06:44] adarsha, I thin there are ways to fix grub [06:44] adarsha: Boot from a livecd, do "grub-install /dev/sda1" (or whatever). Done [06:44] adante, s/thin/think [06:44] thanks! :) [06:44] screw this, this plugin doesnt work === lainy_ is now known as lainy [06:44] i'll try that. [06:44] adarsha: Err, /dev/sda, sorry, must be installed on top of the drive [06:44] knoppies: probably want adarsha :] [06:44] darolu, Thanks for the pointers. [06:44] sorry adante [06:45] anyone here know a way to speed up a kernel compile a bit more? [06:45] knoppies: you're right [06:45] theadmin: sorry, i didn't get it. [06:45] How do I figure out what package owns what? [06:45] i've set CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=8, then ran time nice --20 fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-custom kernel_image kernel_headers [06:45] Hieverybody,I am to install Ubuntu on a Centrino Duo lap wich kind of format would be better to make partitions for / and /home ie which are the differences between ext3 and ext4? [06:46] adarsha: Well, there are partitions (/dev/sda1, /dev/sda2) and drives (/dev/sda, /dev/sdb, etc) [06:46] i'm still only utilizing only 50% of my processor speed [06:46] when i compile things using make -j8 it uses 99% [06:46] steppenwolf: ext4 is faster, that's all [06:46] steppenwolf, Personally, I'd go with ext3 simply because I have no experience with ext4. [06:46] theadmin: ok, [06:46] quite frusterating [06:46] is linux good for animation programs such as bryce 5, blender, art of illusion and paint shop pro? [06:47] thanks [06:47] Lappie: blender runs natively in Linux [06:47] cool, thats good 2 know, it runs like crap in vista [06:48] well, act, lots of stuff runs like crap in vista, and i HATE the uac crap [06:48] Lappie: THAT can be disabled ;) [06:48] anyone here know why make-kpkg runs so slowly? [06:49] i know, but supposidly if u do someone will hack ure stuff or smthin [06:49] Hi, can somebody help me with some gfx driver problems in Ubuntu 9.10 with 2.6.33 kernel [06:49] ? [06:49] How do I change the icon for xterm so that it shows up on my docky themed gnome-do? [06:49] which i beleive bcause of all the windows haters out ther [06:49] Lappie: Nah, not really, it just prevents stuff from executing without your wish. If you have a fine antivirus it's fine. [06:49] Oak: easy way is to change it in the system menu then drag to docky again [06:49] DJNiX: just ask your question, try to be more specific please. [06:50] <|604|> the word antivirus was used in a linux channel lol [06:50] |604|: It often is, because newbies ask whether they need one [06:50] <|604|> yeah [06:50] Oak: and I'd recommend upgrading to docky2 (now a seperate package from gnome-do, you have to add the repositories for it) [06:51] ive always believed that virus were made by windows users in the first place to sell anti-virus progs (not 2 mention the peeps that want to steal others info) [06:51] So, i got a basic install through Wubi, of an Ubuntu Karmic Koala 9.10 install with 2.3.19 Kernel, then i upgraded my kernel with a linux-image-2.6.33-generic deb downloaded from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.33/linux-image-2.6.33-020633-generic_2.6.33-020633_i386.deb [06:52] mhaedo: is it a launcher too? [06:52] Oak: just the launcher [06:52] Lappie, no viruses predate windows. [06:52] also installed linux-headers and linux-source from the same link [06:52] (deb files) [06:52] Does anyone have the file: /etc/X11/Xsession.d/70pulseaudio [06:53] is someone here using a corei5 with the builtin graphics? [06:53] then, after rebooting i noticed that there was a message telling me that linux is running in low graphics mode [06:53] OK, so I'm at school today and I figure I'm going to try out connect to our SSH server through Ubuntu (its fedora I guess) However I unfortunatley found out that I couldnt get any connection, not even access to the WIFI through ubuntu, so in essence, I was FORCED to use win7/putty :( [06:53] and that there is no driver installed [06:53] Any idea what I can do to get connects? [06:53] btw, i have a GeForce 8600GT OC 256MB [06:53] Oak: lemme give ya a screenshot [06:53] DJNiX: do you have Nvidia? and installed the driver you download from the website? [06:53] darolu, i had the latest stable driver installed before upgrade [06:54] i noticed a very long pause during boot (about 30s) while it appears to be waiting for I/O from the intel graphics [06:54] now i cannot install it again [06:54] that's what it looks like on the bootchart anyways [06:54] as it says that 1) i don't have the corect gcc [06:54] after ignoring that i get the second error that i don't have the linux-source installed [06:55] DJNiX: you need to upgrade your nvidiakernel, everytime you upgrade/change kernel you need its appropriate nvidia kernel source [06:55] Oak: http://img709.imageshack.us/img709/2811/screenshotsh.png [06:55] aha.. can i know how to do that? [06:55] :) i'm not quite pro in linux.. [06:55] but i can learn fast :D [06:56] DJNiX, go to system >admin>hardware drivers and install the drivers [06:56] DJNiX: sudo apt-get install nvidia-kernel${VERSION}-$(uname -r) [06:56] mhaedo: Isn't there a way to just change the icon? [06:57] i E: Couldn't find package nvidia-kernel-2.6.33-020633-generi [06:57] :( [06:57] DJNiX: if you don't want to do this everytime you upgrade your kernel, install the driver you find with "jockey-gtk" [06:57] Oak: i always just change it in my system menu, then redrag to docky [06:58] mhaedo: not working [06:58] DJNiX: you can try reinstalling the driver (the same you installed in the first place), it will generate the nvidia kernel, just make sure to install build-essential package [06:58] Oak: it doesnt use the same icon as your main gnome menu? [06:58] Whenever my gnome panel loads, the wifi/network icon in the Notification applet is 'blacked out' and/or missing. I can resolve the problem by deleting the notification applet and re-adding it to the panel, but its a pain to do that everytime I log in. Anybody got any ideas? [06:59] mhaedo: it uses a generic launcher icon [06:59] Oak: but it uses the correct icon in the gnome menu? [06:59] DJNiX: you can also try with "sudo apt-get install nvidia-kernel-common" [06:59] mhaedo: how do I change that icon? [07:01] system->preferences->main menu [07:01] jockey gave me an error [07:01] mhaedo: then no, it's not copying it [07:01] "Sorry, installation of this driver failed" [07:01] I guess I could run a VM though linux as windows? [07:01] are you using a vector graphic? [07:01] a .svg? [07:01] cyberbluntz: Err, i didn't exactly get it, but you can run Windows on Linux in a VM, sure [07:01] Oak: try changing it to an icon in /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/ [07:01] darolu, update-rc.d: warning: nvidia-kernel stop runlevel arguments (1) do not match LSB Default-Stop values (none) [07:02] for docky you want to use a scalable vector graphic, .svg, not just a .png [07:02] DJNiX: you probably need to uninstall the driver you have installed; refer to nvidia's documentation on how to do it, I have never uninstalled that driver [07:02] aha [07:02] i know how to do that [07:02] ok, let me try again [07:02] DJNiX: After you uninstall try installing the Ubuntu one with jockey [07:02] !who | DJNiX [07:02] DJNiX: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [07:03] !tab > theadmin [07:03] theadmin, please see my private message [07:03] darolu: still the same problem with jockey [07:03] DJNiX: did you restart X? [07:04] darolu: doing it now [07:04] changing up an ubuntu livecd for my personal use and running into a few package problems. removed a few packages that are part of ubuntu-desktop which immediately removes the entire bundle so I decided to just install gnome-desktop-environment [07:05] but it is bundled with things as well... but in this case there is a conflict or 2 [07:05] nautilus-cd-burner conflicts with brasero [07:06] but I want to keep brasero lol [07:06] Looking for a way to do winkey+# = restore/minimize window in x[#] position. Very useful feature from Windows 7. Is this impossible in Ubuntu? [07:06] is there not a gnome-lite or something I can install instead [07:07] Jon-, if you're talking about what I think you are, check out maximumize and minimumize [07:08] how do i restart my audio system? I keep having a problem with my audio where my coputer will stop playing audio files unles i adjust the volume formthe keyboard,but this only fixes it for a min. restartingthe computer fixes the problems for a few hours so i figure if i restart teh audio server? Deamon? im not sure what its called but i think i can just restart that to fix my problem [07:08] darolu: same things.. can i send you the logs from nvidia installer? as i guess it's not a bout the nvidia kernel, but about the running linux kernel [07:08] this deal with ubuntu bundled packages requiring ALL of the packages in the bundle to have any of them is a bit frustrating at time [07:09] DJNiX: pastebin it, so everybody can help you: http://paste.ubuntu.com [07:09] ou figure it out...i'm compiling .33 right now and run an nvidia geforce gtx 280 [07:09] i hope you [07:10] cant type today [07:10] theadmin may i send you a pm? [07:10] cyberbluntz: Uh, sure. [07:11] http://paste.ubuntu.com/387451/ [07:12] /exit [07:12] Anyone know how the taskbar icons locations are remembered? I need to implement a script that depends on figuring out which item is the first listed, the second, etc. [07:12] darolu: http://paste.ubuntu.com/387451/ [07:12] forgot to mention the name :) [07:13] anyone know how I can install gnome-desktop-environment without including nautilus-cd-burner? [07:13] or remove a package that is part of ubuntu-desktop without removing the entire ubuntu-desktop package? === star is now known as Guest20581 [07:15] DJNiX: i'd let it run,works a lot of time . nvidia here if fails reboot to old kernel reinstall driver. [07:15] DJNiX: "Unable to find the kernel source tree for the currently running kernel." it is the nvidia-kernel-source =p [07:16] nomad77: i still have an option in grub to start the old 2.6.19 kernel, and i can easily install the driver there, and it works flawlessly [07:16] Anyone know how the taskbar icons locations are remembered? I need to implement a script that depends on figuring out which item is the first listed, the second, etc. [OR: How can I find out things like this without having to delve fully into the src?] [07:16] DJNiX: you can read: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia [07:16] what app can I use to emulate a windows connect? [07:17] DJNiX: there are 7 packages containing nvidia-kernel source, I don't know which one you need; open a terminal and type: apt-cache search kernel-source to see them [07:18] DJNiX: the CC warning is not a show-stopper. can build and run least half the time. and sometimes linux needs to be symlnked to the kernel-2.6.bla folder in /usr/src or the kernel-headers. [07:19] !bot > psycho_oreos [07:19] psycho_oreos, please see my private message [07:19] DJNiX: this is a detailed tutorial of what you need to do: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual [07:19] darolu: i can see those 7 nvidia drivers, but none of them is the version i need [07:20] hey guys, I'm changing the text displayed when someone ssh'es into my box. I keep changing the content of /etc/motd but everytime I ssh in, it changes the message back >:( any way I could preserve my changes? [07:20] and trying to install nvidia-185-kernel-source says that it's already installed [07:20] !wubi > psycho_oreos [07:20] psycho_oreos, please see my private message [07:22] Nijverheid: don't really know what does it, but when I had a similar problem on SuSE, I set the immutable flag on the file after changing it. It's something the filesystem has to support, though, IIRC [07:22] DJNiX, you need the 190 version if you aer using karmic 9.10 [07:22] there is no such version [07:22] Nijverheid: a quick google found this: http://linuxhelp.blogspot.com/2005/11/make-your-files-immutable-which-even.html [07:23] AndyS2: epic, thanks [07:23] Nijverheid: hope it works, but it's just a workaround, not a real solution ;) [07:23] Nijverheid, That's probably not what you want to do [07:23] err... ok? [07:23] Nijverheid, You probably just want to edit /etc/motd.tail === andyeb-- is now known as andyeb--away === andyeb--away is now known as andyeb-- [07:26] !info nvidia-glx-190 [07:26] Package nvidia-glx-190 does not exist in karmic [07:26] !info nvidia-glx-185 [07:26] nvidia-glx-185 (source: nvidia-graphics-drivers-180): NVIDIA binary Xorg driver.

[07:27] Nijverheid, man motd.tail for more information. [07:28] Jordan_U: thanks :) [07:28] Nijverheid, You're welcome. [07:28] DJNiX, did you try to install the drivers from the website? [07:28] yes [07:29] indus: you mean form the nvidia site? [07:29] DJNiX: did you follow this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual [07:29] that's what i'm trying to do [07:29] DJNiX, yes === simon_ is now known as Guest14066 [07:29] DJNiX, dont do it that way [07:30] indus: i'll try the guide darolu mentioned [07:30] ok [07:30] 47min to compile a kernel package. that's no good. somehow make-kpkg isn't utilizing my processor correctly [07:31] indus: he had the driver working, upgraded his kernel and now nvidia drivers need new nvidia-kernel-sources. [07:31] darolu, that is why you should install from hardware drivres [07:31] or things will brek [07:32] indus: I agree, but he had the nvidia website drivers installed when he got here [07:32] ya i see [07:32] whats a good program too veiw wireless access points and information? [07:32] then its just a matter of reinstalling the nvidia driver [07:32] and now jockey can't install the ubuntu package [07:32] unless he completely removes nvidia installer [07:32] darolu, not unless he uninstalls the other driver [07:33] move into nvidia folder and run ./uninstall.sh [07:33] or whatever its named [07:33] coz_: yeah I told him to do that but he claims it still doesn't work [07:33] sudo /usr/bin/nvidia-installer --uninstall [07:33] so, i'm still trying to install them the easy way, now i fixed the link to the linux sources and already got some other error, that the sources might not be properly configured [07:33] should i do "make config"? [07:34] darolu, mm it should unless the updates removed build-essential which I doubt [07:34] DJNiX: By "the easy way" you mean with jockey? [07:34] darolu: indus: i uninstalled the 190.53 driver by typing sudo nvidia-uninstall [07:34] darolu: no, with the installer, trying both 190 and 195beta driver [07:35] DJNiX, ok maybe there are other extra options like purge [07:35] DJNiX, ok and did you restart just to be safe after that? [07:35] always RESTART [07:35] ALWAYS [07:35] restarting X [07:35] DJNiX, no restart the system not x [07:35] No restart system to remove kernel modules [07:35] ok [07:35] DJNiX, the modules are still loaded [07:35] ok.. restarting then [07:35] DJNiX, you will get all sorts of erros [07:36] DJNiX, aldo [07:36] also [07:36] hai [07:36] DJNiX, when you get to the low graphics dialog move to console [07:36] DJNiX, coz_, indus: I gotta go to bed, good luck with that driver. [07:36] DJNiX, /etc/init.d/gdm stop cd to the location of the nvidia driver [07:37] halooooooooooo [07:37] DJNiX, then sh NV hit tab to complete name and install then then when finished sudo init 6 [07:37] :) [07:37] I hope he got that [07:39] Hi [07:39] I'd like to setup an encrypted container in ubuntu [07:39] who could advice anything? [07:39] bo255in, I dont think I can ... I have dont that too little to be of any help [07:39] still same thing.. no changes [07:40] DJNiX, open a terminal sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [07:42] coz_: I don't know why always when I use apt-get update it always stops at 99% [Waiting for headers] [07:42] DJNiX, ok let it stay there for a bit./..if nothing happens open synaptic and Reload then mark all updates [07:42] DJNiX, then go back to the terminal and do apt-get dist-upgrade [07:43] I have seen this happen here as well === zenergi_ is now known as zenergi [07:43] that's what i did now, found many packages, but i don't know why it says that it will install linux-headers, and image 2.6.31-20-generic, which is lower than the one i have now [07:44] DJNiX, mm unless something happened to the previous update [07:44] DJNiX, which one do you have now?

Can I reset this? [07:45] but i have the linux-header-2.6.33-020633 folder in my /usr/src folder [07:45] MilitantPotato, if no one can help here right now you can try the ##linux channel [07:46] MilitantPotato, you cannot [07:46] DJNiX, then I am puzzled guy...apparenlty the kernel you have now was not installed properly or the headers werent .... not sure i would have to be there to fiddle a bit [07:46] MilitantPotato, thats the point of encryption [07:47] MilitantPotato, as far as i know, the data cannot be recovered [07:47] DJNiX: try: sudo ln -s /usr/src/linux-header-2.6.33-020633 /usr/src/linux [07:47] DJNiX: then retry the installer [07:47] indus: I'm logged in currently, I'd need to backup ~/, format, then setup a new ~/ from scratch? [07:47] Hello, I'm trying to install a newer version of python httplib2 that supports Python 3, it isn't working, Can someone please help? [07:48] this command makes a symlink? [07:48] MilitantPotato, is your home encrypted or entire / [07:48] indus: just ~/ === Guest20581 is now known as star3am [07:48] nomad77: this made a broken link in my linux folder [07:49] MilitantPotato, all iam saying is, there is no easy way to recover ~/ or home as i call it [07:49] DJNiX: yes to tell installer "use me" basically [07:49] aha. understand [07:49] nomad77: i did that with the linux-source folder [07:49] ok [07:49] MilitantPotato, even if i steal the hard disk , i dont think its possible thats what i read [07:49] !encryption [07:49] nomad77: and id didn't worked, the installer told me that the sources aren't properly configureg [07:50] *configured [07:50] indus: I've not lost my ~/, I'll tar it and make a new one, I guess [07:50] MilitantPotato, you said you forgot passphrase [07:50] anyway, i'm trying now the installer [07:50] MilitantPotato, then how will you acess it? [07:51] DJNiX: well i'd say you've tried everything other than kernel downgrade or dist-upgrade. hmmm [07:51] indus, so we better should avoid encrypted home dir? [07:51] indus: yes, I couldn't access it from a LiveCD, I'm currently logged in from my install [07:51] im a lil confused about installing n stuff, when i dl ubuntu, do i need to dl and install linux as well? [07:51] oh always unless you work for the military [07:51] i dont know why they offer it so easily as an install option [07:51] Lappie, No. [07:51] its crazy, i had to format it to do anything again once i lost password [07:52] anyone ever figure out the problem with the nvidia driver and new kernel? [07:52] Lappie: You download Ubuntu (the iso) then put it on a CD then boot to the CD. Detailed instructions are available at the top of this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation (Standard Installation) [07:52] indus: Yea, I agree. === Jon-_ is now known as Jon- [07:52] indus: Since I'm currently logged in on my install, can I change my passphrase? [07:52] Lappie: Linux is a part of the ubuntu install. It's the core of the system and included. [07:52] yes, when i saw the installer i got all excited, i encryt home, then some crash and i cant recover it [07:53] MilitantPotato, hmm that probably might be ,its somewhere in a file in hidden home [07:53] MilitantPotato, wait there is a way i think [07:53] ahhh, i see, also i was curious about BERYL, i was wtchin on youtube, it looks awsome and im soo interested in it 2 [07:53] why dose my computer lags [07:54] Lappie, well beryl is no longer developes and doubtfull if it would even insatll now [07:54] Lappie: It's actually merged into compiz-fusion now, "beryl" doesn't technically exist anymore [07:54] im sorry i have soo much 2 learn about all this stuff, i hope my dumb questions dont aggravate anyone [07:54] developed [07:54] nomad77: this is what i get http://paste.ubuntu.com/387463/ [07:54] Lappie, no problem at all [07:54] Lappie, and compiz fusion is merged into compiz [07:54] Flannel, And it's now just compiz :) [07:54] Lappie: Beryl is old and has been replaced/merged into compiz, but it should have all the same features available. [07:55] i understand, and compiz is what again? [07:55] any one please help me [07:55] Lappie, very much the same as beryl...same developers for the most part [07:55] how to check how much prossess is running [07:55] ? [07:55] Lappie, 3d excelerated desktop [07:55] ah ok , so in comparassion, its like vista aero w the flip 3d stuff n such [07:55] haresh, in gnome system/administration/system monitor [07:55] MilitantPotato, http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2009/03/mounting-your-encrypted-home-from.html [07:56] Lappie: Very much so yes [07:56] Lappie, well vista has i think one animation compiz has way many more :) [07:56] MilitantPotato, the password is stored in some folder [07:56] wrapped passphrase [07:56] Lappie, you tube search for compiz feature focus it is old but it will give you an idea ...it was made by one of the compiz developers [07:56] Jordan_U: as of... a month ago. Alright, I don't mind being a month old :) [07:56] haresh: you could look in system>admin>gnome system monitor [07:57] yeah cant read it really but can use it to recover [07:57] i knwo [07:57] but my com is laggying [07:57] someone refresh me on how to get to root again? thought it was su -i or something [07:57] ty again, so, i m currently a sec away from dlingl ubuntu, where do i get compiz? [07:57] tehbaut, sudo [07:57] Lappie: it's included in ubuntu [07:57] jamieleshaw: no, not one-off uses [07:57] could someone please tell me how to share a foolder on Ubuntu with Windows7? [07:57] tehbaut, su root [07:57] Hey everyone! [07:57] rofl, again im sorry about all these dumb questions, i have sooo much 2 learn [07:58] jamieleshaw: no, not password-required uses [07:58] tehbaut, if you have a root pass set, if not then sudo su root [07:58] Lappie, as long as you are learning many are satisfied. [07:58] hmmm [07:58] ah, yeah that last one worked [07:58] tehbaut, or open a terminal sudo passwd root typein a new root password that os passwd not password [07:58] u cant see it, but im bowing in astonishment for all you guys's help, tyvm [07:58] I swear there was something with a -i though... [07:58] tehbaut, then in terminal type su and the new password [07:58] Lappie: if you want to configure the more spicy effects, you will have to get the "compizconfig-settings-manager", which is available from the built-in software centre. [07:59] coz_, He said he didn't want to set a root password [07:59] coz_: well this is a live cd.. no point in doing that [07:59] jamieleshaw, ah I see [07:59] Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone here is good at Astronomy, or if you know a channel where I can get some Astronomy help? [07:59] tehbaut, no you are correct sorry [07:59] indus: I have two lines in that file, which is the correct one? [07:59] i know a lil about astronomy open a chat dialog w me [07:59] i would w u but i dont know how [08:00] MilitantPotato, sorry iam a noob at this , cant advice [08:00] tehbaut, are you thinking of "sudo -i" to get an interactive shell? [08:00] Lappie, /chat NICK_HERE [08:00] the encrypt option is a bad bad idea for new users, [08:00] Lappie: astronomy, not astrology :P [08:00] tehbaut, the type sudo su I believe [08:00] they should remove it from the gui install [08:00] nomad77: could you please tell me where is the linux-restricted modules file? [08:00] mikepq, /j #stellarium [08:00] ZykoticK9: yeah, I think that's it [08:00] sudo -i [08:00] indus: and I would prefer truecrypt, only for my critical data [08:01] MilitantPotato: Well there seems to be a #astronomy here on freenode, first place to check? [08:01] Lappie, I added you on chat [08:01] DJNiX, /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common [08:01] i'm following the full manual driver installation guide, but i guess it's a bit old, and the linux-restricted-modules-common file is not in the /etc/default folder anymore [08:01] mikepq: Well there seems to be a #astronomy here on freenode, first place to check? [08:01] tehbaut, yep, that's another way [08:01] hm.. [08:01] sorry it didnt work i clicked accept and it didnt do anything [08:01] MilitantPotato: sorry, miss-tab, ignore me. [08:01] coz_: it's empty, should it be empty? [08:01] hmm, I'll try again [08:01] DJNiX, on karmic yes [08:01] arand: np [08:01] Lappie, /msg NICK_HERE MESSAGE_HERE [08:02] DJNiX, the new nvidia drivers dont need that anymore ...you are probably reading this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual [08:02] there is a difference in the two, jamieleshaw ...I just don't know what they are beyond the changing of location [08:02] coz_: and i should just add the DISABLED_MODULES="nv nvidia_new" line there? [08:02] coz_: exactly [08:02] DJNiX, i dont think it is going to help on karmic [08:02] tehbaut, What do you mean? [08:02] DJNiX, which driver did you download? [08:03] jamieleshaw: well sudo su root keeps you where you already are [08:03] hmm eclipse channel is quiet: quick question; has the bug been fixed for eclipse where I don't have to press enter after click a button in Eclipse for updates? [08:03] sudo -i takes you to root [08:03] tehbaut, No, sudo su root takes you to /root [08:03] er, not root... root's home [08:03] tehbaut, su takes you to root [08:03] DJNiX, and is the one you used before or did you download another one for this updated kernel? [08:03] i have 190.53 and 195.30 (which people on forums are saying that is compatible with 2.6.33 kernel) [08:03] tehbaut, That is roots home [08:03] DJNiX, delete the xorg.conf contents [08:04] tehbaut, type "su" in terminal [08:04] MaarekStele: right, but that one requires the password [08:04] it'll ask you for the password [08:04] DJNiX, are you using lucid 10.04? [08:04] then you're root [08:04] MaarekStele: right, but this is a live cd [08:04] indus: no, 9.10 === muteprint_ is now known as muteprint [08:04] tehbaut, did you try sudo su [08:04] DJNiX, then why are you using the 2.6.33 kernel? [08:04] DJNiX: you ever get your card working? [08:04] mhaedo: yep, is working perfectly on 2.6.19 kernel [08:05] DJNiX, that kernel wont even be used in lucid [08:05] coz_: sudo su kept me where I was, just like sudo su root [08:05] tehbaut: `sudo -i` will get you to a root shell, but why do you need that? [08:05] tehbaut, mm [08:05] indus: because on 2.6.19 i cannot control the volume, it's either on or off [08:05] the slider is not working [08:05] tehbaut, what are you trying to do? [08:05] tehbaut, try "ubuntu" for the live CD password [08:05] DJNiX: but not .33? [08:05] tehbaut, Elaborate. [08:05] you are asking too much from this channel for an unsupported kenel [08:05] i have mine working in .31 but not .33 [08:05] tehbaut is using LIVE CD [08:05] indus: plus, i was expecting my webcam to work [08:05] no user, no password [08:05] mhaedo: exactly [08:05] a kernel which has not even made its way into the next ubuntu version [08:06] MaarekStele: not the one [08:06] MaarekStele, I know [08:06] MaarekStele: Live CD has a user, and a blank password. [08:06] DJNiX, try in #ubuntu+1 maybe [08:06] tehbaut, I think only sudo on live cd [08:06] I tried blank password [08:06] indus: understand.. thanks anyway [08:06] oh well, I'm going back to .31. I have no real need for .33, I just wanted to give it a try [08:06] it didn't work Flannel [08:06] tehbaut: Stepping back for a minute, what are you trying ot accomplish? [08:06] DJNiX, what exactly is the problem with nvidia and 9.10 kernel? [08:07] heh, Lord knows if I can remember now [08:07] * MaarekStele agrees with Flannel [08:07] :P [08:07] tehbaut, i think it's Ubuntu as user and no password on LiveCDs [08:07] toor ? [08:07] ubuntu is already the user [08:07] tehbaut, the LIVE CD only gives you limited usage, no software installs [08:07] or t00r ? [08:07] when you open a dialog [08:07] DJNiX, on lucid the kernel is 2.6.32-15 I would just do the dist upgrade and then install the nvidia driver [08:07] er, terminal [08:07] tehbaut: Well, once you remember, let us know and we can help you accomplish it. Until then... not much we can do [08:07] Flannel: I've already received what I came for [08:07] DJNiX, and on karmic it is 2.6.31.-19 [08:08] Flannel, even live cd is limited on what you can accomplish since it's only a demonstration of Ubuntu [08:08] ok.. nevermind.. let me try to use 2.6.31 from the dist upgrade [08:08] ...that being memory fresher #1 [08:08] tehbaut, Password 'toor' ? [08:08] MaarekStele: Er... not really. [08:08] now I just need to remember what I was doing [08:08] iep, nyone knows a 3G modem working with linux and that it is on the market, huawei E220 that i know it works is not available any more, there is other model that works fine with linux ?¿ or i should go to second hand market ?¿ thank you very much for your time [08:08] thanks anyway guys [08:08] tehbaut, Is toor the password? [08:08] no idea, didn't bother to try [08:09] but just in case, is there any possibility to swap the Center and LFO audio channels? [08:09] nope, not it [08:09] Good day all , Anyway to make PC a BT headset ? except :nohands.sf.net [08:09] tehbaut, The default password is either 'toor' or 't00r' [08:09] ah, I remembered what I was trying to do now [08:09] Or maybe they got rid of that after Hardy [08:09] Flannel, do tell, I used Ubuntu's USB startdisk creator which acts as a live cd. It won't let me install anything, but it does prompt to install Ubuntu on the system it's running on [08:10] i want my 5.1 to fully work, but i guess my CMI6501 sucks, as on windows there a option in the drivers to invert the channels, so i'd prefer to have a fully functional system here too [08:10] jamieleshaw: it's not t00r either [08:10] damn [08:10] anyway, I need to get Chameleon installed.... figured I'd need root for that [08:10] well guys I need sleep so I am bowing out later ...be nice do well share what you know [08:10] tehbaut, load up your /etc/passwd & /etc/shadow & use jtr [08:11] jtr? [08:11] John the ripper [08:11] unshadow it then crack it [08:11] bah, it's pointless [08:11] wait [08:11] sudo -i was all I needed [08:11] tehbaut, is this on a Windows system that you are running the Live CD? [08:11] MaarekStele: No, you can install things on the LiveCDs. [08:12] MaarekStele: not any more :P [08:12] yeah you can install stuff [08:12] tehbaut, then finish the install [08:12] tehbaut, of Ubuntu and create a user [08:13] nope, one machine with ubuntu is enough for me [08:13] I just needed to unscrew up my osx boot up [08:14] Does anyone know how I can get python httplib2 0.5+ on karmic? [08:14] for python3 support [08:14] tehbaut, option 2: pull the drive and put it in the other computer so you can access the boot files [08:14] What does docking mic mean ? [08:14] MaarekStele: I should be able to get to them fine with the live cd, shouldn't I? [08:15] tehbaut, yes, you should [08:16] <__machine> what is an acceptable value for si and so from vmstat? trying to write a cloudkick plugin to monitor swap activity [08:17] does empathy encrypt passwords? [08:17] MilitantPotato, Yes, through GNOME keyring or whatever it is [08:18] Hello any one know some best program to recover deleted files ? [08:19] can i run ubuntu server on a very old computer with just 256 mb ram? just http and ftp [08:19] behappy, Ntfsundelete [08:19] behappy, Is it a NTFS partition or ext? [08:19] jamieleshaw: ext3 [08:20] can i run ubuntu server on a very old computer with just 256 mb ram? just http and ftp [08:21] yes [08:21] papul, yes [08:21] will it have gui? which De? [08:21] tehbaut, open applications and Ubuntu software center, look to see if you can install anything from there [08:21] papul, Ubuntu Server or Ubuntu Desktop with web server software installed? [08:22] jamieleshaw: ubuntu server [08:22] tehbaut, or just type sudo aptitude install elinks [08:22] <|ns|nR8> better off running ubuntu server if your comfortable with command line papul [08:22] gui takes most of ur server cpu/mem [08:22] behappy, sudo aptitude install foremost [08:22] I don't need to... I already know you can install apps with the live cd [08:23] they don't stay once you reboot though, even if you've installed it to the HDD [08:23] tehbaut, Ubuntu Starup USB? there is an option [08:23] Are there any good alternatives to Evolution that have the same features (mail and calendar mostly)? [08:24] phnom, Thunderbird [08:24] jamieleshaw: this will be help with that ? [08:24] jamieleshaw: I couldn't find any x64 build of the lightning add-on =/ [08:25] ok, phnom What about the add-on manager? [08:25] behappy, I g2g, but http://www.ubuntugeek.com/recover-deleted-files-with-foremostscalpel-in-ubuntu.html [08:25] phnom: the package is lightning-extension (and there is a 64bit version in the repos) [08:25] jamieleshaw: Thanks [08:25] phnom: "lightning" package is something else (without 64bit) [08:26] Oh, ok.. FLanel, jamieleshaw Thanks :) [08:26] behanw, np [08:26] Flannel ^ [08:27] I just switched over to ubuntu from slackware and I was wondering if anyone had a second to help me out with an ssh problem?

[08:39] X-Frog, you must have a access to another keyboard??!?! what about the second enter key on the numpad? [08:39] http://kjots.com/3373 [08:39] orbital_fox, its a laptop :( [08:40] ddavids, you might have to go into it and actually change it now.. its settings affect your system settings [08:40] orbital_fox: ok but how do i know what to change? [08:41] X-Frog, no external keyboard near by? (i just realise how important that key is now :P ) [08:41] orbital_fox, is there a alt plus a series of numbers thats the same as the enter button [08:41] ddavids, wait ill install it and tell you..

[08:54] vHanda, dpkg --force-help [08:55] I wonder one thing, if i install the apha1 and use it..when the final version comes out 29april, do i need to reinstall the apha v1 or is there updates so i can get the full version ? [08:55] Amira: #ubuntu+1 [08:55] Amira, it will be full version.. but under work [08:55] Amira: and yes, gut get the final version with updating [08:55] !lucid | Amira [08:55] Amira: Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 29th, 2010 - Lucid is NOT released and is NOT stable - Discussion and support only in #ubuntu+1 [08:55] What do I need GVFS for? [08:56] Amira, but there has been issues in the past were the updating breaks.. and your command-fu needs to be good to resolve the issue manually [08:56] ohh okey m8 thnx, i think im gonna wait until the 29 april :p [08:56] orbital_fox: I'm sorry. I don't really really understand. The lucid repos haven't been added in my sources.list. And the --force-help option didn't really do anything. I've only used dpkg to check the packages installed. [08:57] Is GVFS part of the default install? [08:57] ddavids, this is quite old.. but might be a good start hint: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=73358 [08:59] vHanda, so can you see the older version of the package you are looking for? [08:59] orbital_fox: thanks im going thru the link now. [09:01] orbital_fox: No. I need a newer version, not an older one. I guess I wasn't too clear. [09:02] anyone ran into a problem where the volume control for the microphone adds a nasty DC offset the higher you set it? [09:02] vHanda, ok.. so does the new one appear in Synaptic? [09:03] vHanda, now that you have added the repo [09:03] what package do i need to have java.util.HashTable, i currently have openjdk-6-jdk, but i always get "cannot find symbol" (the code is correct), i also tried setting CLASSPATH="/usr/lib//jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/:." didn't help either [09:03] i have returned [09:03] :0 [09:03] orbital_fox: That's the thing. I haven't added the repo, cause I don't wanna upgrade everything. Is there any way I can a repo just for libavcodec-dev? [09:04] orbital_fox: I know, I can not upgrade other things, but then it'll keep nagging me. It's quite a pain. [09:04] vHanda: apt pinning? [09:05] vHanda, you can always download a package manually (of the latest version) and do a force install (where you tell dpkg to ignore version/platform issues) [09:05] vHanda, do you know if you have all the dependencies for this package? [09:05] orbital_fox: Yes. I think so. [09:06] vHanda, then manually download the .deb and try to install it (at your own risk :P) [09:06] could anyone tell me how you convert gedit files to txt files inside of ubuntu? [09:07] olews, gedit files are txt files [09:07] orbital_fox: Yea. I guess so. Thanks.. though it's kinda strange it hasn't been updates as yet. The update I'm looking for was added to the svn in Feb 2009. [09:07] olews: what is a gedit-file? gedit is a program/editor === acuster is now known as avc_afk [09:07] ill rephrase [09:07] olews, if you rename existing file to .txt it will become a txt file [09:08] Any1 knws how i can install my sonyericsson MD400 usb modem [09:08] how do you convert text files in ubuntu to files readable in windows? [09:08] olews: there are no *.txt files in gnu/linux. the file-extension doesnt matter [09:08] olews: unix2dos filename [09:08] vHanda, look at launchpad and see what they are discussing there [09:08] olews: also, gedit has an option for converting to dos-format [09:09] iceroot, in my rephrasing, I never said .txt [09:09] olews, all txt files can be read in windows also [09:09] iceroot, where is that [09:09] afaik [09:09] olews: dont know, i dont use gedit, i am using vim [09:09] indus, return characters arent recognized in windows [09:09] indus: there are difference in unix and dos-format [09:10] hmm [09:10] could anyone tell me how to convert linux files to dos format inside gedit? [09:10] indus: \n and \r for e.g. [09:10] hi everybody I have question for yas [09:10] i am just talking about simple txt , i do remember reading them easily [09:10] well nero really made a piece of crap software for linux [09:11] dont know about newline and return [09:11] indus: as i said, \n and \r [09:11] after installing it now I can't even burn cd's at all [09:11] hey guys, please help: i am getting this: GD library is too old. Version 2.0.1 or later is required, and 2.0.28 is strongly recommended. I did install php5-gd and even tried this howto: http://cumu.li/2008/5/13/recompiling-php5-with-bundled-support-for-gd-on-ubuntu yet i cant get this application to work [09:11] I don't know what kind of drivers were installed but it screwed everything up [09:11] Hellhound666, just use default cd burner ubuntu its more than enough [09:11] not for nrg files [09:11] i have restarted apache each time..so it's not that [09:11] and nrg2iso doesn't copy the session data [09:11] nrg ? what is that [09:11] nero image [09:11] it's for a dreamcast linux boot [09:12] ah nero image, of course [09:12] is there a way to get rid of their crap? [09:12] cdi and nrg [09:12] it's god awful [09:12] olews: you need a plugin for gedit or you use unix2dos filename [09:12] I just need to fix it now [09:12] my phpinfo says: GD Version 2.0 or higher but why doesnt it show me the exact version? === Nickname_ is now known as eoke [09:13] I could see paying for some good software to support the programmers but this is just terrible [09:13] iceroot, what do you mean "use unix2dos filename"? [09:13] olews: on the commandline, unix2dos is a tool [09:13] probably refering to the filename format [09:13] Hellhound666: tried k3b? [09:13] if you have spaces in a windows file use " " around the file or [09:14] yeah I heard of k3b I just need to somehow get rid of nero [09:14] fix my drive back to normal [09:14] iceroot, how do I convert multiple files [09:14] Hellhound666, how did you install nero ? [09:15] deb package but I opened it directly from download 64bit then I tried an rpm [09:15] olews: i would guess unix2dos file1 file2 file3 [09:15] Hellhound666: never use rpm [09:15] Hellhound666: can you write in ONE line waht you want to do exactly and what the problem is? [09:16] iceroot, how do I select a group of files in the GUI and convert them to dos [09:16] ok now I need to find out how to use alien to remove the second crap package [09:16] iceroot: my drive won't read cd's now to burn [09:16] Hellhound666, so sudo dpkg -r --purge nero? [09:16] olews: i dont use a gui for that, so i dont know [09:16] tried that indus [09:16] let me take a look and try again [09:16] does anyone know how to select a group of files in the GUI and convert them to dos [09:17] Hellhound666, but that shouldnt be a reason to not use cd rom drive, i think restart pc , best option :) [09:17] Evolution has taken a gigantic dump. When I start it up, not only does it not load its various subwindows, it then hangs and must be force-quit. What now? [09:17] maybe application is using drive still [09:17] olews: use the commandline, much faster then searching for a way doing it in the gui [09:17] k nero is gone completely now [09:17] olews: maybe unix2dos * is working also (on zsh it is working) [09:17] tried a restart [09:17] what zsh [09:17] nero does that. It's happened in windows with programs too [09:17] Hellhound666: use brasero (comes installed with ubuntu) or use k3b (sudo apt-get install k3b) [09:17] some kind of driver conflict [09:18] whats zsh iceroot [09:18] I just got k3b just a sec ago [09:18] Hellow. [09:18] now the only thing I have to do is get rid of this stupid nero [09:18] does this channel have a language filter [09:18] olews: a better shell/bash [09:18] ok it doesn't show up anymore let me take a stab real quick. [09:18] !enter | Hellhound666 [09:18] Hellhound666: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [09:18] hold up thanks everybody though [09:21] can anyone help with k9copy/vlc? im trying to setup a home media server in ubuntu but when i take video from a disc using k9 without compression it makes an avi video. but playing that video back in vlc player tell me it has no suitable codec. looking at the video properties the codec says: N/A . video plays fine in Movie player. [09:22] Am I dead? Is all my mail gone? How can I recover from Evolution-gone-crazy? [09:23] hey guys, please help: i am getting this: GD library is too old. Version 2.0.1 or later is required, and 2.0.28 is strongly recommended. I did install php5-gd and even tried this howto: http://cumu.li/2008/5/13/recompiling-php5-with-bundled-support-for-gd-on-ubuntu yet i cant get this application to work [09:23] xiong, it will be in .evolution [09:23] xiong, just back it up === debes is now known as cdebes [09:24] indus, Back up .evolution and reinstall Evolution? [09:24] xiong, sure [09:24] * xiong tries that [09:24] xiong, can you tell me the problem exactly [09:24] hello. - I want to wake up my machine from sleep at a given time. I found this http://acpi.sourceforge.net/documentation/alarm.html and tried "echo yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss > /proc/acpi/alarm" but it doesn't work. [09:25] what is needed is a command under ubuntu that will enable me to wake my machine from sleep. [09:25] any ideas? [09:25] Who was it that was helping me with the encrypted home deal? [09:25] xiong, all mail wil be in ~/evolution/mail/local [09:25] MilitantPotato, no one [09:25] Well, attempting [09:25] :) [09:25] you yea? [09:26] maybe [09:26] I tar'd it too another drive, formatted it, moved it back and fixed fstab [09:26] all sorted now with no encryption [09:26] indus, I set 'Startup Applications' to remember automatically running apps. Then I logged out. When I came back up, Evolution put up a sort of generic window without much in it, then hung. Force-quitting and restarting Evolution re-runs that set of symptoms, no change. [09:27] xiong, well , kill evolution from processes [09:27] indus, Oh, it's easy enough to force-quit from it. Trouble is, that doesn't fix the problem. [09:27] xiong, well wait [09:28] xiong, try clear the cache [09:28] indus, I'm going to bet that if the binary executable isn't corrupted, it's some configuration file. If I'm lucky, not a critical one. I've renamed to old.evolution; I'll reinstall the package and see what happens. [09:28] xiong, but evolution is like that [09:28] aprilhare: i'm just parroting a few google results here, but /proc/acpi/alarm is outdated, there's a new procedure now. let me see if i can find you something [09:28] thanks brjann [09:28] indus, Not sure which cache you mean. I can't get Evolution to respond at all. [09:28] xiong, ya sure back up the hidden folder, then reinstall [09:28] xiong, see if that works [09:29] empathy doesn't auto complete names? [09:29] Hm. Having renamed the folder, I could just try restarting Evolution and see how it goes. [09:29] whats the easiest way to get chm support in okular? [09:29] !info okular [09:29] okular (source: kdegraphics): document viewer for KDE 4. In component main, is extra. Version 4:4.3.2-0ubuntu1 (karmic), package size 807 kB, installed size 3240 kB [09:30] Guest49333, could try in #kubuntu [09:30] indus, Same thing. This is good, right? The corruption must be in the binary or at least I should hope that a reinstall will make all good. [09:30] xiong, yes [09:30] Well my drive is reading dvd-r but not cd-r [09:30] xiong, no not the binary never [09:30] Should I be looking elsewhere for litter dropped by Evolution somewhere? [09:30] xiong, its the config files most of the time, i dont think a binary unless due to some download issues can be corrupted on a system [09:31] xiong, but iam no expert [09:31] xiong, yes [09:31] indus, But if I renamed .evolution then Evolution can't find it, so if it starts up wrong... Let's see what reinstall does. [09:31] xiong, it will create again [09:31] xiong, try it [09:32] xiong, on reinstall that is [09:32] Yes; and I should backup the default .evolution, because when I substitute my old files, eventually one will likely be the bug. [09:33] Are there package sources for the intel5100agn iwlwifi drivers? [09:33] Hellhound666, a drive problem maybe [09:33] aprilhare: the current procedure seems to be similar, except you write to a different file, but the real sticking point is that it now takes a seconds-since-epoch argument instead of a nice date/time argument [09:34] indus, Oh no, this is bad. The reinstalled Evolution won't respond either; exact same symptoms. [09:34] xiong, what version of ubuntu ? [09:34] indus: I just bought this computer it can't be [09:34] Hellhound666, :P sorry [09:34] Well, I never liked Evolution all that well. Perhaps it's time to migrate to Thunderbird. [09:34] indus, 9.10 -- a pretty fresh install, too. [09:34] xiong, well, evolution is more like outlook no? thunderbird is little diff [09:35] indus, I used Eudora for years; I pine for it. [09:35] i use neither [09:35] indus: I sure hope not that would suck. But hey I gtg I'm going to try a few things and see what I come up with. thanks for the help everyone. see yas [09:35] dont like mails being read by anyone [09:35] i prefer going online and logging in [09:35] hi [09:36] the ip of my apache server is 127.0.1.1 [09:36] aprilhare: still with me? [09:37] brjann: yep just had to visit porcelain telephone, reverse call [09:37] i dont understand why is 127.0.1.1 and not is 127.0.0.1 [09:37] Anyone know how to convert an mkv's DTS track to AAC? [09:37] aprilhare: haha [09:38] brjann: you were saying? - seconds past epoch argument eh [09:38] aprilhare: yeah, not quite as friendly [09:38] how do i make up that magical mystery number? [09:39] furthermore what file does it need to go into? [09:39] aprilhare: first let's make sure that file exists [09:39] aprilhare: ls /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm [09:40] yep there [09:40] aprilhare: great. step 1 is to zero that file, echo 0 > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm [09:40] Hey guys [09:40] What's up? [09:41] brjann: doesn't work. tried echo 0 > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm doesn't work [09:41] permission denied [09:41] aprilhare: you need to be root [09:41] Can someone check this out? They said it has no merit. http://bit.ly/info/eNqth I'm confused [09:41] brjann: tried sudo [09:41] do i need to su? [09:42] aprilhare: sudo is a little goofy when it comes to output redirection [09:42] oh ic [09:42] aprilhare: sudo echo blah > foo runs the echo command as root, but tries to write to foo as you [09:43] does sudo 'echo blah > foo' do it? [09:43] tried it, it doesn't. [09:43] aprilhare: nope! :) so either sudo -i to get a root shell, or do sudo bash -c "echo 0 > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm" [09:44] a non-existent cdrom shown in the places menu [09:44] brjann: latter nicer done [09:44] next [09:44] a non-existent cdrom shown in the places menu [09:44] ? === joerg is now known as Guest17950 [09:44] how to get rid of it?? [09:45] aprilhare: okay, let me try the next command locally just to make sure it works before i tell you to try ;) [09:45] found free epoch converter [09:45] aprilhare: oh, date can do it. it's just ugly [09:45] http://www.perlservices.net/en/programs/epoch_converter/epoch_converter.html [09:46] ic :) [09:47] how do you scan your box once you've downloaded clam av? [09:47] date +%s gives current time in epoch [09:47] aprilhare: ugh. sudo bash -c "echo `date --date \"2010-03-03 04:00:00\" +%s` > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm" [09:48] olews: im sure it would be in the clam man page, though I am not a user [09:48] aprilhare: replace the date/time with your preferred wake time. but make sure you get all the backticks and backslashes in the right place :) [09:49] lol [09:49] bash -c "alias exit='echo sorry, cannot exit.'" [09:49] brjann: right. got those commands down. gunna give it a try.. :) is that date YYYY-MM-DD? [09:49] Can someone help me debug this? http://bit.ly/info/eNqth [09:49] I'm really confused [09:49] aprilhare: yep, YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS [09:50] thanks brjann gunna give it a try [09:51] aprilhare: okay. once you've run the ugly command you can also cat /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm to make sure it has a non-zero value [09:56] where can I find ip_gre module ..?? [09:58] hi i have major sound issues. cds, mp3 and utube vids play faster than they should. sounding like the chipmunks. everything used to work fine. i dont know what went rong. [09:59] anyone here?

I'm actually trying to find out if it's possible to run something as pure system... [10:03] not root or another user account [10:03] Patching a driver doesnt seem so complicated [10:03] hi everyone [10:03] GabrialDestruir, ask away if anyone hre knows they will answer [10:03] brjann: it was a bust. no wakeup [10:03] GabrialDestruir, what exactly is it [10:04] is it normal for commands with tab completion to execute if i hit tab twice (first tab completes the command, the second one seems to try to execute it)? If so, how can I disable this? [10:04] aprilhare: boo. might have a timezone issue [10:04] grrrr@timezones [10:04] Well what I'm working on is actually related to g_file_storage [10:04] can you specify timezones in date? [10:05] %Z alphabetic time zone abbreviation (e.g., EDT) [10:05] GabrialDestruir: all processes must have en owner, whether that owner is also a user is a matter of policy [10:05] I can get it to load into the system just fine according to everything I'm seeing except it automatically ejects the drives instead of keeping them connected [10:05] hi i have major sound issues. cds, mp3 and utube vids play faster than they should. sounding like the chipmunks. everything used to work fine. i dont know what went rong.

Version 2.0.1 or later is required, and 2.0.28 is strongly recommended. [10:07] Well it runs properly if it runs at start up but it doesn't run if manually ran [10:07] aprilhare: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/ACPI_Wakeup#Using_.2Fsys.2Fclass.2Frtc.2Frtc0.2Fwakealarm [10:07] thanks brjann [10:07] i know new zealand is gmt +12. i also know it depends where you are in austrailia it has a few dofferent times [10:07] ^ like america [10:07] hello, i'm following this tutorial to install ubuntu over lan https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LocalNet#Set%20up%20the%20servers [10:07] aprilhare: start from the "manually test wakealarm" part, we've already verified the rtc is up and running [10:07] but I have no idea how to actually start bootp [10:07] sheepz, y installing over lan.

[10:15] This probably isn't the place this is suppose to go. But see I'm working with android which is linux based. g_file_storage loads at start up so when the device is plugged in it'll show up as a storage device on the PC. I'm trying to put together a proof of concept for a toggle switch to switch between g_file_storage and another USB relatead module. g_file_storage works perfectly if started during start up but if done manua [10:17] Is there any way to change a user's name? [10:19] it should be possible from the users and groups dialog [10:19] in system - administration [10:20] woohoo! it worked! [10:20] woohoo! it worked! [10:20] :) [10:20] what it worked ?

[10:31] root-black, in #backtrack-linux [10:31] meowbuntu: I've seen people complaining about this problem claiming that using straight alsa instead of pulseaudio solved the problem [10:32] vegarn, really i dont think i have alisa set [10:32] what do i do [10:33] !alsa [10:33] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [10:33] ^ the ubotto !alisa info is outdated [10:34] meow: maybe this can help: http://ubuntu-ky.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8284273 [10:35] how do i find system soound settings. i cant find [10:35] i found it by searching for "karmic disable pulseaudio" on google [10:36] I installed Geany 0.18.1 on windows.. but it lags a lot i mean when u scroll down the image comes a little slowly [10:36] hello [10:36] c_nick, this is not windows [10:36] hello after upgrading to lucid my ftp bookmarks in nautilus do not work help!

[10:45] vegarn, why is ubuntu so confusing [10:45] pulseaudio is the standard sound daemon, and is sufficiently low level to base stuff like sound controls on [10:46] however, if you have problems with pulseaudio [10:46] you might want to go with using alsa directly [10:47] alsa also has sound controls, but pulseaudio has some additional cool features, like application-specific volume control and input/output routing [10:47] Flash video, twice as slow at a task than in the windows equilevant - is there any tips on how to finetune flash to work better?

Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) [10:55] meowbuntu: so why mention mint? [10:55] ActionParsnip, i was just saying that they have an easy interface to configur sound settings [10:56] hi.. can i install memenu in karmic? thanks [10:56] ActionParsnip, re read what i said exactly [10:56] meowbuntu: not sure, ive never had a single sound issue as I use oldish sound chips which work out of the box [10:56] meowbuntu: i have zero sound issue fixing ability, literally [10:56] ActionParsnip, i am having problems [10:56] hi i have major sound issues. cds, mp3 and utube vids play faster than they should. sounding like the chipmunks. everything used to work fine. i dont know what went rong. [10:57] ActionParsnip, he wants to switch between alsa and pulseaudio and linux mint has a tool existing for this purpose and he is wondering if that can be taken and used in ubuntu [10:57] meowbuntu: is it a laptop? [10:57] no [10:57] System: Host meowbuntu-desktop Kernel 2.6.31-19-generic i686 (32 bit) Distro Ubuntu 9.10 karmic [10:57] meowbuntu: boot to live mint cd and see what the name of the app is [10:57] oops [10:57] viliny: gotcha [10:57] CPU: Single core Intel Pentium 4 (UP) cache 512 KB flags (sse2) clocked at 1817.670 MHz [10:57] meowbuntu: that sort of thing is moot [10:58] ActionParsnip, i want to sort out my sound issues they got it rong [10:58] meowbuntu: have you ran: sudo lshw -C sound and websearched for the product line [10:58] i mentioned that mint makes it easy and they got it rong [10:58] no doing now [10:59] meowbuntu: you will find guides based on the chip, you may need some options in the sound config files [10:59] i have consistent sound issues with realtek hda 889a myself, but found an 'ok medium' i can live with (sound in 1-2 apps at once, max, and pulseaudio segfaulting all the time) [11:00] Running Audigy without any problems [11:00] ActionParsnip: I have seen a few others complain about pulseaudio and exactly his problem, choppy audio. Their solution was to remove pulseaudio and just alsa directly. I have given him a link to a guide to do just that. However, he does not want to use it as it involves the command line [11:00] just use* [11:00] ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.org/100415 [11:01] ActionParsnip, thats y mint is much simpler when it comes to sound issues [11:01] meowbuntu: ok find guides based on CM8738 chips [11:01] yeah from what i've read pulseaudio is so deeply integrated in 9.10 it's not worth trying to take it out [11:01] my screen blanks after becoming idle even after i disabled the screensaver and the power-management option for that. can someone tell me how to disable the screen blanking completely? [11:01] meowbuntu: not used mint, I always use minimal and install lxde [11:01] shegman: i've seen methods using xorg.conf [11:02] ActionParsnip, uses chrunchbang then === TREllis_ is now known as TREllis [11:02] ActionParsnip just for screenblanking issues? [11:02] meowbuntu: no, it comes with tonnes of fluff I dont need, and it is also not supported here just like mint [11:02] meowbuntu: my way I get the equivelant of crunchbang but it is an official install [11:03] Quick question, whats the big differences between ubuntu server and desktop? and if i have a very far configured server running the desktop edition then is there any reason for me to switch to the server edition at this point? [11:03] meowbuntu: theres also moonos which uses lxde but is unofficial too [11:03] viliny: server doesnt come with a desktop installed by default [11:03] I know this is waaaaaay offtopic but check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifA1AQe_NF0&feature=channel I REALLY want a kitty for my birthday [11:04] viliny: if you want a proper headless server using minimal resources use server, if you can't configure the system without gui apps install desktop [11:04] ActionParsnip, im a bit hazy where gnome metacity compiz and beryl and emerald and all those come together but basicly it lacks a window manager? [11:04] viliny: server is text only [11:04] well i DO enjoy the desktop while i do most of my stuff via ssh and terminal on the thing [11:04] viliny: then install desktop [11:05] desktop is installed, thank you [11:05] is there a better alternative to combine mpg files? every time i try it i get uncompatible errors and the resulting video has no audio in vlc [11:05] a better alternative to the app 'mpgjoin' i mean [11:05] BigMack83: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=199993 === Mowee`Bnc is now known as Mowee [11:06] thanks [11:06] !info mpgtx [11:06] mpgtx (source: mpgtx): toolbox to manipulate MPEG files (video, system, and audio).

[11:08] xxthink, is not khelper a kde application found in kubuntu [11:08] can I kill it? [11:09] meowbuntu: removes packages left behind after higher packages are removed [11:09] xxthink, you can kill any application in a terminal type this [11:09] sudo killall (application naom) [11:09] ps -e | grep khelper [11:10] and kill [11:10] ActionParsnip, is it good idea to do [11:10] meowbuntu: yes [11:10] WHAT IF IT REMOVES APPLICATIONS I NEED [11:10] vegarn, you can, but you would lol at cat'n two mpgs of different bitrates... [11:10] meowbuntu: for example, if you remove firefox, firefox uses xul-runner and it will be left behind, the autoremove will remove this for you [11:10] * meowbuntu is not shouting darn caps key in the way [11:10] !caps | meowbuntu [11:10] meowbuntu: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.

[11:15] zetheroo: in linux, the x server is seperate to the kernel (unlike in windows) which is why you can perform x forwarding, the key combo simply restarts the x server [11:15] if it doesn't you can try ctrl+alt+f1 to get to a shell [11:16] ActionParsnip, is aptitude better than apt-get [11:16] zetheroo: if it can be made to work again you can run: dmesg | tail -n 40 | less and see what the deal is [11:16] meowbuntu: they achieve the same thing [11:16] meowbuntu: just different syntaxes, use which you like. neither is better [11:17] ActionParsnip: if i do that command now will it show whats up? [11:17] zetheroo: not after a cold boot as the dmesg will be blanked [11:17] how to print fast and black with linux ? [11:17] zetheroo: could try connecting to the system via ssh whilst its frozen to see if the system is still running etc and read dmesg that way [11:18] ActionParsnip: ok, well if x cannot be restarted and the cold shut off is the only option, is there a log or something that would show the crash?

Ubuntu will have some drivers or all for your hardware, it aims to give as much functionality out of the box [11:34] meowbuntu: i have no idea, have you seen if there are any issues with your sound chip or options you need to add [11:35] is there anything other than NetworkManager that can handle wired/pppoe(dsl)? because it's a pain in the crack... wicd doesnt do do pppoe [11:35] ActionParsnip, not much more to do [11:35] just ripped out pulse audio and reinstalled alsa, want laptop volume dial to work again. using x64 karmic. anyone have a solution?

For instance alt+arrow doesn't go back in firefox history. By going into keyboard shortcuts I can see that Ubuntu sees left alt as Mod5 and right alt as ISO Level 3 shift. [11:53] meowbuntu: try: sudo rmmod snd_cs4236; sleep 2; sudo modprobe snd-cmi8738 [11:53] Paulo39: then you don't need any special driver or frimware !, just boot it and intall it, may be you have problem with cd or dvdrom [11:53] I been using yuuguu for remote control myself instead of vnc [11:53] will a dvd work? [11:53] Lappie: sure [11:53] yehia: ok what OS is the office pc? [11:54] i,m trying to use firetsarter for ICS/NAT but it fails, why can it be? [11:54] ActionParsnip , XP [11:54] Lappie: Although, when you boot the CD it will be rather slow (since it has to read from CD), and depending on your hardware, the proper drivers for your vidoeo card might not be present in the liveCD environment, if so no compiz. Yes a DVD should work fine to start from. [11:54] yehia: then the XP system will be the server, you will need to port forward a few ports on the office router to connect to it [11:54] oh crap i dont have anythig to burn an iso [11:54] yehia: you should also use an ssh tunnel as vnc has ZERO encryption so is not secure [11:55] ActionParsnip, do you know how to help me to do it [11:55] whats free that will burn a dvd from the iso? [11:55] yehia: if you enable remote logon at the office PC you can use RDP to connect to the office pc [11:55] ActionParsnip, FATAL: Module snd_cmi8738 not found. [11:55] rumpsy, is there an root find file command? [11:55] rumpsy: i burn the image for an DVD (several times, at slow burn speed) and whenever i boot the dvd it gives me an error : a driver for cd/dvd drive is missing [11:55] btw does Ubuntu block all incoming connections by default? [11:55] meowbuntu: try a hyphen instead of underscore [11:55] hola [11:55] Lappie: Lappie: http://www.google.com/search?hl=no&source=hp&q=vista+burn+iso&btnG=Google-søk&meta=&aq=f&oq= [11:56] how do I add a user to sudoers list [11:56] yehia: you will need to port forward the rdp port from the router to your office pc, you wont get a connection otherwise [11:56] !sudoers | ubyserver [11:56] thank you [11:56] hablaa [11:56] ubyserver: you can add the user to the admin group if you do not want to edit the sudoers file [11:56] quien eres [11:56] ubyserver: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sudoers [11:57] eiooooooooooo [11:57] no Google Earth for Ubuntu 9.10?

This has little to do with ubuntu really [12:26] maminka_: is it set to muted or is it not muted and just no sound? [12:26] zvacet: in usual case we don't need sudo for cp right? [12:26] rzx237, yes vlc has same resault [12:26] arunbabu: zvacet you dont need sudo to use the command "cp" maybe you need sudo to copy some files which belongs only to root [12:26] arunbabu: what is the error if using cp? [12:26] ActionParsnip: not muted, but no sound [12:26] rzx237, i'll install exaile hold on [12:26] iceroot: permissin denied [12:26] iceroot: yes you are right [12:26] hi guys is there any command to know if my headphones are working, cause i think it could be damaged, or is it because ubuntu fails to identify it [12:26] arunbabu: can you post the whole command?

[12:48] ssh is a develish bastard to set up.. === Sonderbla is now known as Sonderblade [12:49] i disagree Younder [12:49] Younder: install and its away, just change the port and you are golden :) [12:49] the documentation from sourceforge is excellent however [12:49] ActionParsnip: so if i want to know the IP to connect my Computers together via VNC .. then this is the right way to know my IP address and the VNC will work with it . or with the ones which my ifconfig will show me ? [12:49] ActionParsnip, i already have it installed but i have no /etc/init.d/sshd O.o [12:49] Younder: you should have a go at openvpn some time.. [12:49] hello [12:49] I have it configured.. [12:49] yehia: you will connect to the wan ip, you will need to setup port forwarding so the router doesnt simply drop the data [12:49] Hi, I have a machine running ubuntu 7.04, i would like to set it up to date, can I upgrade to 9.10 in some way ? (I read that I cannot update through the ubuntu 9.10 dvd directly) [12:49] yehia, use the external ip of your box and configure your box to redirect the port to your internal address of the machine you want to control [12:50] MrMarkie: ok ... i haven't try it. Wine does a lot now. But for such important application as an office it is much better to use the native ooffice [12:50] yehia: use an ssh tunnel if you are accessing over www as vnc data is NOT encrypted [12:50] djoef, yes, download the 9.10 cd and do a fresh install [12:50] what about my data ? [12:50] djoef, do you have a seperate home folder? [12:50] Halitech, yes [12:51] H, ActionParsnip [12:51] I'm having a hard time setting a static ip and dns info for my karmic x64 desktop need help [12:51] fauzie: Well that really depends on the exact situation, now doesn't it? [12:51] djoef: you are way too far behind :D .... no, you can not. you have to do fresh install :( [12:51] If you know what program you want to use but don't know what package it is installed in and its not in the package description, how can I from the CLI work out what package to install with apt [12:51] Halitech, what do you mean by "separate" ? [12:51] djoef, when it gets to asking about the partitions, do a manual and make sure you don't format the home folder [12:51] matteo1990: sudo service ssh start|stop|restart [12:51] djoef, seperate, as in not included in / [12:51] does anyone here know how to configure snort? [12:51] Halitech, fauzie , I get it, just do a back up, and do a fresh install :) would be best [12:52] MrMarkie: okay, but where is he now? [12:52] Halitech, then yes I do [12:52] chimp: apt-cache search somethinghere [12:52] Halitech: do you mean a separate partition? [12:52] I've got the strangest problem: whenever I plug any USB device in, my WiFi breaks (it doesn't tell me though, traffic just drops to zero); when I unplug the USB device, it works again instantly. (Intersil Corporation Prism 2.5 Wavelan chipset, module: orinoco_pci, dmesg and syslog don't really help me) [12:52] chili555, that is what I thought [12:52] how do i setup a static i.p? [12:52] fauzie: I think he went to #wine [12:52] chili555, then I don't [12:52] ;) [12:52] I just downloaded netbeans IDE [12:52] djoef, yes, back up first just in case but if /home is mounted outside / you should be able to use the same partitions [12:52] But it's a .sh file [12:52] chili555, yes [12:53] How do I install .sh files? [12:53] ActionParsnip: Ahh, interestingly i've been using aptitude search, however by default it doesn't seem to find things. Ie aptitude search hexdump and apt-cache search hexdump [12:53] djoef: then you may be better to burn your data to DVD [12:53] just, double click? [12:53] ActionParsnip, Ok it's started, still no file in /etc/init.d/sshd [12:54] schlaftier: maybe you need check the screws. I had something simillar before. When I plug a USB, my computer froze!!! [12:54] chili555, I am affraid that will be impossible :) tons of gigs :( nevermind, ill backup first [12:54] static i.p? [12:54] chimp: they are pretty much the same deal. you can use apt-file if you want more detail, takes a while to setup on its own but allows you to find what packaes contain a certain file name [12:54] fauzie: the PCI card screws? [12:54] hi [12:54] does anyone know how to convert dmg to iso? [12:54] djoef: and when you do the installation, you will set up a /home partition, right? [12:54] mun, man iso [12:55] static i.p [12:55] ? [12:55] schlaftier: yeap. Mine was the soundcard. [12:55] mun, check synaptic, there is a dmg to iso convertor [12:55] Foxbox79: you can set that in network manager, if you mean your wan ip you will need to pay more for your connection (in some cases) [12:55] HalfWord, nope can't find anything there [12:55] fauzie: interesting... but I'll give it a try [12:55] fauzie: thank you! [12:55] ok, backup is complete im ready 2 install, just one final q, i watched a vid on youtube about BERYL and i did ask about it already, but i forgot the name of the new version of it, what was it again and how do i get it? [12:56] hello....is ext4 supported in Ubuntu ? [12:56] Lappie, compiz? [12:56] is it possible to use gnome shell now on karmic? [12:56] schlaftier: ur welcome. good luck. but your chance is slim. mwahahahaha [12:56] MixLaToR, it's the default [12:56] I did bt it forgets it for this just lan ip address [12:56] ahh i think thats it [12:56] Lappie: beryl is dead, compiz-fusion is how to get (pointless) 3D effects [12:56] how do i get it? [12:56] i like make it permanent [12:56] im starting to think ActionParsnip likes minimalism :) [12:56] ActionParsnip, pointless [12:56] Lappie: once you install video drivers correctly they will be enabled by default [12:56] Foxbox79 do you just want custom dns or static ip and dns? [12:56] Younder: very pointless [12:57] ahh ok [12:57] fauzie: it's not that urgent though... I don't need wireless when I need USB and vice versa [12:57] cross your fingers, away i go!! [12:57] fauzie: this is a very old computer which has PS/2 keyboard and mouse :) [12:57] Lappie: to get the cube stuff you will need to install compizconfig-settings-manager [12:57] both static /w dns... [12:57] ActionParsnip, I don't use the, either [12:57] hey all [12:57] ActionParsnip, I agree, just gobbles up resources [12:57] ok do u know where to dl compizconfig-settings-manager [12:57] i wan all the good stuff man :) [12:58] * fauzie turned on everything in Compiz including the totally useless atlantis cube [12:58] oh and will xchat work w ubuntu? [12:58] do a sudo apt-get install compizpackagename [12:58] Lappie, yes [12:58] yes xchat works with ubuntu [12:58] Lappie: you can install it from software-center [12:58] Lappie, then learn the comand line. the console is still were Linux really shines [12:58] ? [12:58] Lappie: its fun for about a day, then just annoys, some really buzz off it [12:59] has anyone tried the gnome shell 2.29.0? [12:59] ok, no more silly questions frm me for now any how, cuguys soon [12:59] Has anyone here successfully installed ebox-webserver on 8.04.4 LTS? [12:59] ActionParsnip, Ok it's started, still no file in /etc/init.d/sshd O.o how is possible? [12:59] so I've installed virtualbox [12:59] ddavids, try ksh93 instead. The ultimate shell. (Though you might prefere Perl) [13:00] hello everyone.. I have a message that's just popped up saying "The volume "Filesystem root" has only 153.1 MB disk space remaining".. does this mean / is running out of space? [13:00] darkstar1, thats it exactly [13:00] Why not type in "df -h" from the console and see [13:00] . [13:00] ddavids: I have [13:00] hello....is ext4 supported in Ubuntu ? [13:00] Younder: does it work like gnome shell? [13:00] matteo1990: if you are on karmic or later it is managed using the service command, i think init.d is being phased out afaik [13:00] ddavids: How do I find out my gnome shell version [13:01] MixLaToR, yes it is [13:01] MixLaToR: its the default fs in jaunty and later [13:01] I need to find out how to get programs from my linux box onto the winxp virtualbox [13:01] Halitech: I'm guessing I need to use LVM to extend it [13:01] Younder: is it better than gnome-shell|? [13:01] thanks [13:01] ddavids, look up korn shell. [13:01] ddavids: define better [13:02] MrMarkie, folat support, multidimetional arrays and dicts. [13:02] float [13:02] mylisto2: you can use aptoncd to make a cd with the debs you have downloaded, o just copy them manually [13:02] can anyone tell me how I can find out my gnome shell version and if I can also install kde along side and choose he shell at startup [13:02] darkstar1, do you have any room to expand to? [13:03] darkstar1: dpkg -l | grep gnome-shell [13:03] Younder: yeah I've tried the korn shell, not really my favourite though [13:03] Halitech: Yes.. lots of room [13:03] mylisto2, reinstall them in the virtualbox install [13:03] darkstar1: you can install kde alongside gnome and select it at login [13:03] huh? [13:03] MrMarkie, You are better off with Perl [13:03] If anyone's an openvpn guru and want to take a look at this, I'd really appreciate it :) http://pastebin.com/eQi44DjW [13:03] so I have lets say flash.exe === hassan is now known as Guest6778 [13:04] how do I get that into my virtualbox xp? [13:04] ActionParsnip: Thanks. Also that command you pasted showed no output [13:04] Younder: You are quite right since I make a living programming Perl these days ;) [13:04] mylisto2, you can't just use programs installed in WINE in a VM, you need to install the program in windows in the VM [13:04] MrMarkie, Installed everywhere, more portable comands and more readble. [13:04] darkstar1: then you don't have gnome-shell installed [13:05] MrMarkie: im lost... [13:05] halitech: I'm not talking about wine [13:05] ddavids: me too it seems, I just roll with the discussion. As for the gnome-shell, I would say it's not really ready for production use but it'll be awesome once it is [13:05] mylisto2, did you install virtualbox from the repos or from the virtualbox website? [13:06] ActionParsnip: What shell is installed as standard with Kharmic? [13:06] MrMarkie, In that case grab a copy of 'Perl best practices' :) [13:06] mylisto2: you can share a folder in windows or ubuntu and operate the lan on the xp vm as bridged so it appears as a system on your lan and not using the virtual lan, you can then push / pull the file from the host to guest [13:06] Younder: Got it ;) [13:06] ActionParsnip, Great, thx alot. Now that sshd server is started, how to copy file with scp without getting port 22 error? [13:06] darkstar1: none that I know of, the gnome desktop is default in ubuntu karmic, its not a shell [13:06] !scp | matteo1990 [13:06] matteo1990: SCP is a secure way of copying files across networks using !SSH. Usage: scp filename user@host:filename - WinSCP is a client for Windows, available at http://winscp.net/ [13:07] MrMarkie: that's why i wanted to knw if anyone has used the testing version, it looks cool and highly recommended...lol [13:07] mylisto2: if you ask in #vbox they will tell you how to share and mount folders from host to guest (more graceful) [13:07] mylisto2, this should help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox/SharedFolders [13:07] ActionParsnip: thanks... I'm guessing my desktop is gnome then [13:08] ddavids: I would say, give it a month or a few. A lot of functionality is not implemented yet. [13:08] darkstar1: yes, gnome is not a shell, its a desktop environment [13:08] How would I know which Dynamic DNS service provider to choose for my ebox configuration? [13:09] ActionParsnip: I'll synaptics both then. Thank you very much [13:09] ubyserver: Do you have an account with any of them? [13:09] no [13:09] ubyserver, who did you sign up with? [13:09] serverbeach [13:09] I can choose other [13:09] I really like ubuntu now [13:10] But then it asks me my Dynamic DNS server [13:10] It's so easy to just, install what you need [13:10] Why does it ask me these darned questions. Just setup and install ... [13:10] ubyserver: Do you own a domain name? [13:10] I own plenty domain names [13:10] ActionParsnip, I am using it but i get this: http://pastebin.com/NLC52Emt [13:10] hey my pidgin is not supporting any yahoo server y?? [13:10] can any one help me out plzz [13:10] darkstar1: you can install as many DEs as you like, you just have to select one at login [13:10] MrMarkie: u know what, im thinking of just using the testing version now since anyways im going to do a fresh install when lucid is officially out. this is so i can try it out and get used to it or just chuck it down... Bottomline is, i cant wait to try it really... here goes... [13:10] floodbot is flooding [13:10] ubyserver: Then you shouldn't need to fill out any dyndns settings. [13:10] hello [13:11] Alright, I will keep it blank [13:11] ubyserver, they look like an actual hosting service, not a Dynamic DNS service [13:11] matteo1990: if you are connecting to the same pc use localhost [13:11] ddavids: Good luck, and yell if you need me ;) [13:11] Alright I left all those questions blank. [13:11] matteo1990: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kubuntu-users/2007-March/015078.html [13:11] And it's shooting through installation. [13:11] MrMarkie: thanks, u are on point... i got u locked on... lol [13:11] matteo1990: http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/Configuring_Ubuntu_Linux_Remote_Access_using_SSH [13:12] hope this works, shoe laces crossed [13:12] i've a problem with audio, it's all configured ok, volume is ok, but audio doesn't work, this is my aplay -l http://pastebin.com/p6pJZ7ti [13:13] welp that was a no go :( [13:13] I'm in [13:13] :) [13:16] Hi all, i need to know my root passwd.

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.

[13:20] I ask because synaptics is giving me a headache over dependencies and such === schlaftier1 is now known as schlaftier [13:21] e3nn: use Byzanz instead of recordmydesktop [13:21] Lappie: in 2010 Linux still cannot hibernate to a swapfile, so that affects Ubuntu only [13:21] darkstar1, synaptic should bring in all dependencies when you install a program [13:22] stargaze I installed Byzanz But How to use it i am unable to use it [13:22] k what about the disk performance reduction? ubuntu/windows or both?

Doesn't work every time, why???? [13:27] ddavids: Can't live without it [13:27] Lappie: i recommend reducing swappiness, also make sure your video drivers are working well etc to reduce cpu load [13:27] Lappie: and get fully updated === teste is now known as NarNia [13:27] Lappie: you will find fresh installs of windows run poorly too [13:27] my questiion-more directly-when i am using windows after installing ubuntu with windows, the disk performance will be affected for a while?

Now ubuntu is installed windows loader doesnt work.. what to do? [14:17] Shay27, try to force-mount it.. [14:17] dubey_ you said your modem is not detected. then you have to install modem drivers. check here www.linmodems.org [14:18] sevka: use 'ntfsprogs' [14:18] dubey_ join their mailing list and they will help you step by step [14:18] hi all [14:18] wvdial detected my modem [14:18] Kangarooo, u should have use diskmanagment in win7, to decrease the partition :( [14:18] !details | dubey_ [14:18] dubey_: Please give us full details.

[14:19] hwilde: Thanks. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo - I know it all. It works ok. I even developed my own plugin for nautilus for sharing my folders. But I have no comfortable way to access nfs-shares in my network [14:19] Kangarooo, then you`ll need to reinstall grub [14:19] st83291: type sudo apt-get install sysv-rc-conf [14:20] !grub2 | Kangarooo [14:20] Kangarooo: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [14:20] st83291: and then sudo sysv-rc-conf [14:20] sevka, so you have two ubuntu computers, one has an nfs share, and you want to access it on the other one ? [14:20] This doesn't work with Ubuntu server (8.04 lts) and the php5-gd package. If you need this you will have to recompile PHP with GD built-in. [14:20] how do i do that?

[14:21] Shay27: type mount [14:22] Kangarooo, if it doesnt offer to autorepair, then sometihng like bootsect /nt60 C:\ /mbr [14:22] and look for /dev/something [14:22] sevka, you can map IP to hostname in /etc/hosts [14:22] hwilde: is there some broadcasting in NFS, like in Windows/samba network? [14:22] i am using ubuntu 9.4, i have connected my USB modem and run wvdialconf, it detected my modem and created a wvdial.conf file, I made some changes in that file e.g. username/passwd/phone no. etc. [14:23] Stargaze: still not working [14:23] mmmm.

[14:46] impi_: so that function is not available in the php5-gd package that comes with Ubuntu? [14:46] dabaR, no :( [14:46] abysse: atom it is. [14:46] When it comes to stability, gnome has appeared to be a joke this far [14:47] djmaniax : so one core it is :) [14:47] djmaniax: atom are usually singlecore [14:47] abysse: there are dualcore atoms.. [14:47] anli_: gnome seems to lag way behind KDE [14:47] I have used gnome half a year, and it appears unstable compared to windows [14:47] aha [14:47] so it reports to be a dual core why? [14:47] anli_: you might want to give KDE or XFCE a go [14:47] impi_: is the code private, or can you post it? The code that can not run with the stock ubuntu package... [14:47] aha [14:47] djmaniax: It could be a dualcore! [14:47] But I really like gnome, maybe I should do as you suggest [14:48] i have to update my self :( [14:48] impi_: or can I just take the example from php.net? [14:48] djmaniax: type sudo lshw -html > test.htm [14:48] djmaniax: look we cant guees what you bought, there is a VERY slim chance ubuntu screw up that kind of info since the CPU directly provides it own serie numbers and such [14:48] djmaniax: and then open test.htm [14:48] impi_: OK, I get the error with the example. [14:48] 64-bit ubuntu seems to include a 64-bit firefox, in which some plugins are not working, so why doesnt 64-bit ubuntu use a 32-bit firefox then? [14:48] short of pulling it apart, how do i find out? Windows reports it as a dual core as well [14:49] somebody got an idea to add two wifi connection is it interesting? [14:49] ic, i'll try that now [14:49] anli_: urm.. i like Gnome aswell but im getting angry at it slow dev proces and crappy dev community [14:49] dabaR, its actually quite simple. i want to use reflection on a png image [14:49] aha [14:49] djmaniax: :| look on the box in which you got the laptop [14:49] anli_: which plugins don't work? [14:49] flash and firebug [14:49] Alguem ae me ajuda , configura uma placa de audio. [14:50] flash doesnt react on mouse clicks [14:50] firebug dies immediately [14:50] !br | AgenteD [14:50] AgenteD: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [14:50] impi_: But to define the test case that meets the need, as soon as you can run the imagelayereffect function, the problem is solved, right? [14:50] djmaniax: type 'sudo lshw -html > test.htm' and then open test.htm to look for your CPU [14:50] tankyou [14:50] anli_: I've got 64-bit flash, haven't noticed any difference to the normal 32-bit one... [14:50] ok, do you use youtube? [14:50] yes? [14:50] dabaR, yes, but for that i must get php compiled [14:50] You cannot click the buttons [14:51] impi_: OK, so you removed your installed PHP, right? [14:51] dabaR, yes i did [14:51] anli_, Myrtti, I, too, have noticed that Flash is iffy on click-responsiveness on my 64-bit systems, though it's fine on the 32-bit ones. [14:51] aha === goldenfox is now known as Guest62214 [14:51] hola [14:51] how do I change the wm for gnome? I tried with gconftool but it doesn't work [14:52] impi_: using what command? [14:52] i just installed linux over windows and now i want to install windows on the cesond harddrive that linux has been on....what to i have todo to my second drive so i can run windows/install windows? [14:52] how can I recover my grub? [14:52] wonder how the number of bits can seriously affect the flash plugin operation... :) [14:52] i just installed linux over windows and now i want to install windows on the second harddrive that linux has been on....what to i have todo to my second drive so i can run windows/install windows? [14:52] anli_, Myrtti, however, I don't think it's a Gnome problem. It seems consistent with Flash on all distributions and all DEs/WMs I've tried. [14:52] as I do for my audio wor help for me [14:52] !recovergrub [14:52] no one wanna give me an advice? [14:52] Its a ubuntu problem, since ubuntu includes a 64-bit firefox [14:52] hola [14:52] anli_, Adobe hates 64-bit systems and they hate Linux. Help us yell at them. [14:52] !recoveringgrub [14:52] grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

[14:53] hello [14:53] !hi [14:53] wonder how much of a rocket science button clickability is :) [14:53] 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! [14:53] hi [14:53] dabaR, i see in my src folder debian/patches/suhosi patch i - removed that - and now will do configure again [14:53] thank [14:53] anli_, Red_HamsterX: Ubuntu doesn't by default ship it though, you need to install it yourself from their site. [14:53] Myrtti, I'm using 10.0 r45. I have not tried 10.1, since that's not standard with any stable distributions I have installed. [14:53] Pici: you ther in offtopic? [14:53] as I do for my audio wor help for me [14:53] hi [14:53] anli_, it's not the buttons. It's responsiveness to the mouse. [14:53] Myrtti: Yes, but with a 64-bit firefox, I assume you get a 64-bit flash plugin [14:53] anli_, if not input in general. [14:54] aha [14:54] Well, in eclipse, I have had some problems also [14:54] here is a quick and hopefully easy question. I have created a directory sudo mkdir /home/data. I created a group called family. then I did a chgrp family /home/data and a chmod ug+rw /home/data. Then I added myself to the family group. And now I want to move data from my home directory so that I can share it with everyone (but without having to use sudo) But I am getting a Permission denied error [14:54] thanks dabaR [14:54] i just installed Ubuntu \over windows and now i want to install windows on the second harddrive that linux has been on....what to i have todo to my second drive so i can run windows/install windows?ws [14:54] anli_: no you don't by default [14:54] I need to use the native gdi buttons [14:54] Myrtti, it's in apt. flashplugin-nonfree [14:54] hi [14:54] Hi [14:54] hello [14:54] como estas [14:55] damo: when you are installing windows I believe you can select the drive you want to install on. Right? [14:55] !es | roxy [14:55] Red_HamsterX, anli_: the last I checked it installed a wrapper that wraps the 32-bit plugin and shows it through "nspluginwrapper".

[14:55] aha [14:55] ?? [14:55] well, hacks is a good thing, but... [14:55] detrix>: yes but it says error ior sumthin! [14:55] damo: are you able to choose bootable medium via bios at startup? [14:55] How do I exclude folders from a tar bzip action? [14:55] yes [14:55] I'd like to erase the MBR and the partition table before I install Ubuntu, how do I do this? with dd perhaps? [14:55] i can get to the partioning of windows [14:55] Maybe I should not install a 64-bit linux to start with [14:55] then it fails [14:55] like a drive is not compatible with linux [14:55] Kiwi__: You can use GParted for your partition table needs [14:56] but it is [14:56] damo: define 'fails' [14:56] I made the incorrect assumption that its problem free to create software to that architecture [14:56] anli_, 64-bit's fine. The problem is is with proprietary software that can't easily be patched to work with it. [14:56] well it says error: somthing or rather\ [14:56] Kiwi__: As for MBR, don't worry, Ubuntu will install GRUB there anyway [14:56] thank you theadmin [14:56] patched? [14:56] damo: it may be necessary to remove the linux drive, put the windows drive as master, install windows, then put linux drive back as master, and windows as slave drive [14:56] greetings [14:56] damo: Windows can handle partitioning itself [14:56] anli_, updated by community developers to fix problems and improve integration with other software. [14:56] hello everyone [14:56] okies] [14:57] I think I have forgotten the semantics of the +w flag for the group when it comes to directories. If the +w flag is set for a directory, then any member belonging to the group should be able to write to the directory right? [14:57] I cannot play sound with my Asus M70SA on Ubuntu 9.10. I can play the test sound in gstreamer-properties by choosing ALSA as a plugin and Analog as a device. === elijah is now known as Guest79982 [14:57] how do i put all my partions bak into 12 partion on ubuntu> [14:57] how do you install a .so file? [14:57] \12=1 [14:57] detrix: modern systems can boot from any hard disk [14:57] anli_, Red_HamsterX: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10_64bit.html [14:57] However I find that any user of the group cannot write to the directory [14:57] on my harddrives i have a 20gb section i wanna remove [14:57] bgoldsmith: if a directory has g+w, it also needs g+x [14:57] how do i remve it? [14:57] Hey, what do you do if you are really dumb and didn't make your partition big enough while installing a dual boot with XP? [14:57] Guest79982: It's a shared library. Depends on what app does it belong to. [14:57] aaah [14:57] hmm [14:57] Guest79982: you put it in the right place. [14:57] thanks guys, alas only single core, i think [14:57] damo: Use GPartED. [14:58] bgoldsmith: Does the family group have the execute flag for the directory? [14:58] why is that? [14:58] when in gftp, I choose the "view" option on a .pdf file, and it tries to run xpdf on it, which I don't have installed. Where do I go to have the system open it in evince? I see nothing in Preferred Applications, mimecap, or alternatives. [14:58] no it does not. [14:58] Hi all. Someone please explain: option parsing failed: Error re-scanning registry , child terminated by signal :when executing gstreamer related programs (that's most of 'em) ??? [14:58] bgoldsmith: And if you belong to the same group as the group owner of a file, you can still be owner to the file, in which the group permissions are not encountered [14:58] Myrtti, that's great, but it's not intended for use by end-users, so it won't be made available to anyone using a stable package branch. [14:58] dle-il: resize them? add a new parition (for example moving home to its own partition? [14:58] st__: I had difficulty with windoz needing to be installed first. cus when you install windoz it will kill any othter OS on that drive [14:58] Myrtti, when they merge that into a stable release, then the problem may well be fixed. Until then, Adobe still fails. [14:58] bgoldsmith: execute-flag is used to permit browsing on directories [14:58] detrix: No it won't [14:59] Red_HamsterX: it depends, I've used it since it was announced and it is a lot more stable solution for me than nsbinviewer and 32-bit flash in it [14:59] ok... wasn't sure if I would have to reinstall the whole thing.. [14:59] detrix: It will destroy the bootloader, but you can recover it :D [14:59] Red_HamsterX: but, you do have a point [14:59] something gstreamer broke in upgrade, something about a depreciated lib?? file. . . ??? [14:59] ah okay! I think I got it. thanks everyone :) [14:59] how do i fix this?

[14:59] damo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:59] theadmin: ahh, ok yes that sounds right...ok my bad.. :) [14:59] dont [14:59] do [14:59] that [15:00] Myrtti, that's very likely. I'm not saying it isn't inrisically stable, but it isn't marked or marketed at such. Until then, it can't be considered supported by the vendor and it should be avoided by anyone not willing to take the chance of having a piece of their system explode. [15:00] Help, something just turned off my monitors, I already tried xset dpms force on but that doesn't help [15:00] Myrtti, I would install it if I cared about Flash, but I just disable it most of the time anyway. [15:00] Is there an xrandr command to turn on a display? [15:00] theadmin: i am installing the flash player plugin for firefox, so do i just have to move the file into the plugins folder? [15:00] er, I have set drwxrwxr-x for the shared directory [15:00] plugins go into /usr/lib/mozilla folder [15:01] bikerrokytnji, prefix your responses with the name of the intended recipient.

[15:03] while on WIndows or MacOSX routing is two-click operation, on Ubuntu it isn't [15:03] guess what shuttleworth made with all the support money [15:03] one more question.. how do you move a file using terminal [15:03] ?

[15:14] Guest79982: I also use Rox file manager for symlinking also. It is in your synaptic Package manger. [15:15] erUSUL: I know that but how do I make a bash script where they just type "command" and it auto puts it in "file.output"? [15:15] happyface: use read inside the script, to get a prompt for input also have a look at #bash [15:15] iceroot: thanks [15:15] Stargaze, is it possible to install the old software selector?

[15:20] Stargaze, You just mentioned Quickstart, does this work in 7.04 ? [15:20] ploum: I belive in GRUB1 you'd modify menu.lst, and put "nosplash" instead of "splash", but on grub2, no idea [15:20] moteutsch, yes [15:20] can someone explain what the drawbacks or plusses of making something 'chown nobody.nogroup' i'm reading the samba documentation and it says to to this. thank you. [15:20] chili, 14e4:4315 [15:21] djoef: 7.04 is out of support [15:21] i'm also wondering if i should chown -R nobody.nogroup the whole samba share [15:21] co ai o viet nam khong [15:21] or just the samba mount point [15:21] AndyGraybeal: posix acl have a look at man setfacl [15:21] Another general question, I now booted with the 9.10 cd, and open my internal harddrive, select everything, and try to copy it to my external USB drive. This gives me an error message saying "folder "private" cannot be handled, because you do not have permissions to read it" what can I do about that ?

Unfortunately I tried, but it didn't work out. [15:23] iceroot: :) it's fine, i'll play around first. [15:23] iceroot: thank you for man setfacl [15:24] chat español? [15:24] iceroot, is there a "simple" way to make a full backup of this 7.04 that could be placed back in case of troubles ? [15:24] !es | la [15:24] * Red_HamsterX tries again.

[15:39] Is there a way to extend it into the adjacent partition using gparted? [15:39] jatt: I want to script it :) [15:39] djoef: Yes.

[15:40] can anyone help? [15:40] MrCerulean, how to do that? [15:40] Looking for some Zoneminder help. My camera works with Ubuntu 9.10 but it will not work in zoneminder. Any thoughts? [15:41] minus007: You can use synaptic to force a specific version to be installed, or download the package and use an alternate install path. [15:41] Go to ~/.gnome2/keyrings. Delete all files. Restart. [15:41] Are there any known issues with Ubuntu 9.10's glibc? I have a simulation/modeling software that I wrote in C++. It compiles and runs perfectly fine on everything I've thrown at it, with the exception of Ubuntu 9.10. glibc keeps throwing a corrupted linked-list error. (Same gcc suite version on RHE, Yellowdog on PPC, centos, gentoo, freeBSD, MacOSX compiles and runs without problem) [15:41] You will have to enter your WPA password again. [15:41] You will be prompted for a password for the keyring. [15:41] Leave it blank. [15:42] pawbie, Thanks1 [15:42] djoef: You can dd the current disk to one the same size or larger.

[15:45] DarkStar1: If so, that ain't possible [15:45] theadmin: No. I'm currently using my live CD [15:45] Darkstar1: As a general rule of thumb, unless you're dealing with partitions on LVM, it's difficult to increase the partition size. [15:45] Darkstar1: Also, you cannot dick with the / partition when it's mounted. [15:45] I get this init fail when booting the ubuntu 9 disc [15:45] DarkStar1: Good. Then, you should first have some alocated space. [15:45] DarkStar1: Err, /s/alocated/unallocated [15:46] MrCerulean, thank you [15:46] I have an adjacent partition which is empty [15:46] MrCerulean, where do i find .gnome2/keyrings folder?

Then: `cd .gnome2/keyrings` [15:46] nikhilinux: cd ~/.gnome2/keyrings [15:46] but it's under /dev/sdb3 where as my / partition is /sdb1 [15:46] DarkStar1: Delete that sdb3 thing [15:47] DarkStar1: Or decrease it in size [15:47] nikilinux: Once there, `rm *` [15:48] i have a networking problem, i use a ubuntu box as a router - im trying to connect to a computer behind this box with port 9992 and i set it up in firestarter as a port to redirect to the client but it doesn't seem to work at all. At the same time i have transmission with it's own port forward working happily and reporting open port [15:48] any ideas? [15:48] MrCerulean: Don't wanna be picky, but wouldn't it be easier to just "rm -f ~/.gnome2/keyrings/*"? [15:48] sdb3 is actually divided into 2 sdb5 and 6 and sdb 6 is in use [15:48] DarkStar1: o_O That's pretty complex [15:48] sdb 5 however is blank [15:49] ola [15:50] I'm trying to remove the sdb5 partition from the sdb3 group [15:50] oye ablais español?

[16:07] hello everybody [16:07]  Anybody out there have experience dual booting XP and Ubuntu? [16:07] I used gparted to modify an xp notebook so that /dev/hda1 is an ext2 boot partition (50Mib) located at the front of the HD because the bios doesnt seem to support LBA. That's followed by a 160GB NTFS primary partition which contains XP. I created a new extended partition after that with ubuntu and a linux-swap. A dell restore partition is at the end of the drive. [16:07] I installed grub to the mbr and it boots to its menu just fine. Selecting any of the Ubuntu options works fine. At first, I was able to select a windows option and chainload the windows bootloader. I had also added an option in the boot.ini to go back to the grub bootloader. This worked fine but after booting into windows and ubuntu a few times, the windows option stopped working. [16:07] I can still mount the ntfs partition in ubuntu and see my windows files. The partition seems intact. But when grub is set so that root is the windows partition, the boot now locks up with just "Starting....." displayed in the upper left of the screen. [16:07] DualBootTrouble: It seems like the chainload goes to read the bootsector of the ntfs drive, but then can't find the boatloader code. Or perhaps the bootloader then can't find the proper windows files to boot. [16:07] DualBootTrouble: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[16:26] I first tired with Blender but just do animation without audi [16:26] yes [16:26] can someone quickly tell me whether they would use unrar or unrar-free? [16:27] gothran: does the video file already have an audio track? if so, do you want to replace it or mix with it? [16:27] cellofellow, I thing I have some problem with audio [16:27] no [16:27] gothran: what format and codec is the video file? [16:27] cellowellow, AVI [16:28] Guys, I have a question ... what makes ubuntu Superior than openSUSE? [16:28] gothran: that's the format, what about codec? [16:28] agowerdhan: This isn't an advocacy channel. [16:29] gothran: you can find the codec by right-clicking the file and looking at the Properties. It's in the Audio/Video tab. [16:29] cellofellow, the codec is motion jpeg [16:29] ok, then [16:30] gothran: this is pretty easy with ffmpeg. [16:30] agowerdhan: linux is linux. Chosing a distro is up to your free will. No one here will advocate one or another. [16:31] cellofellow: could be that Gnome alsa mixer and jack control go in conflict? [16:31] Cellofellow, in which way? [16:32] gothran: something like ffmpeg -i videofile.avi -i audiofile.wav -vcodec copy -acodec copy -map 1.0 -map 2.0 outfile.avi [16:32] Cellowfellow, with Avidemux? [16:32] how do I find out my server gateway IP? [16:32] gothran: could be done with avidemux. Avidemux is basically an ffmpeg frontend dressed up like a non-linear editor. [16:33] ubyserver: Ask your ISP? [16:33] Cellowello, I cannot load wav file with avidemux, [16:33] Umm there is no command? [16:33] gothran: try the ffmpeg command [16:34] Let me rephrase [16:34] Is there a command to tell me my server gateway IP [16:34] are there special permission things (other than chmod) with ntfs? I have a partition which is mounted with uid=1000,gid=1000 (my current user), yet I can cat the contents of one file whose permissions are -rwxrwx--- but not those of another one, in the same folder, whose permissions are also -rwxrwx---... [16:34] cellofellow, where it is? [16:34] hello [16:34] ubyserver: route [16:34] the install disc hangs right after i select instasll ubuntu.. [16:34] i turned acpi off in the bios and selected noacpi [16:34] gothran: I'll send it in a private message [16:35] cellofellow ok [16:35] Hello here [16:35] mguy, if you need to know, it is route. [16:35] any ideas? [16:35] cellofellow: thank you [16:36] ubyserver: :) [16:36] actually, even root gets Permission denied [16:36] I've crashed my grub by installing windows 7 on a another disc. I've try to "restore grub2" as say in the wiki, but now it just give me a grub prompt [16:36] What can I do ? [16:36] ShadeS, sounds tricky.. any errors? === robbi is now known as Guest30133 [16:36] dinosaurvskitten: you mount ntfs partition with 'user' option. It means that your user has all rights on that partition regardless of what ntfs's uids/gids are [16:36] no [16:36] Anybody out there that can help with grub on a dedicated partition dual booting ubuntu and XP?

I just upgraded to Karmic Koala and now I'm experiencing the problem. "svn ls https://svnbridge.svn.codeplex.com/svn/" stalls after output is done. [16:37] ohir, then why am I getting permission denied on a bunch of files? [16:37] where is your grub installed now? [16:37] dinosaurvskitten: ls -la one_of_that_files please [16:37] blue112: Are you using Karmic or an earlier version, Grub changes in 9.10 so possibly you could be looking at the wrong wiki/help info [16:37] Stage 1 is MBR, Stage 2 in dedicated partition [16:38] DJones, I'm using karmic. I don't know which grub I have. [16:38] What's the best way to resolve the svn/neon issue? File a bug in Ubuntu? Just rebuild svn with the latest neon? [16:38] ohir: 'user' mount-option only means, that users can mount/umount a filesystem. doesn't affect permissions [16:38] ohir, one with permission denied: -rwxrwx--- 2 pf pf 3348 2010-03-02 19:18 02-Registration.pro and one that works, in the same folder: -rwxrwx--- 1 pf pf 64 2010-03-03 17:30 readme.txt [16:38] !grub2 | blue112 Have a look at this, it might be different from the one you've been looking at [16:38] blue112 Have a look at this, it might be different from the one you've been looking at: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [16:38] llutz, uid/gid affects default owners though [16:39] DJones, the guide I followed was for grub2. [16:39] llutz: perms on ntfs are turned on by ntfs-3g only with uid,gid mountoptions. or ntfs-3g is outdated. [16:39] dinosaurvskitten: true [16:39] llutz, I don't think it's the issue in this case anyhow [16:39] llutz: perms on ntfs are turned on by ntfs-3g only with uid,gid mountoptions. or ntfs-3g _man_ is outdated. [16:39] (pf is my current username by the way) [16:39] blue112: ok, where you looking at this guide? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2#Recover Grub 2 via LiveCD [16:40] DJones, it was on the french wiki. For instance, I don't have /etc/defaults/grub file :/ [16:40] ohir: i meant this -> which is definetly wrong dinosaurvskitten: you mount ntfs partition with 'user' option. It means that your user has all rights on that partition regardless of what ntfs's uids/gids are [16:40] So maybe I have grub 1 :/ [16:40] dinosaurvskitten: do mount /that/partition and see how its mounted [16:40] blue112: I tried Karmic with Grub2. I was trying to dual boot XP. Personally, I thought Grub2 wasn't quite ready for prime time. I uninstalled it and went with legacy grub. [16:40] the only thing I can think of is that it somehow doesn't like those files because I created them from windows, after linux shut down in a strange way [16:41] (hibernate tends to freeze my computer, but that's another problem for another day) [16:41] DualBootTrouble, how can I know which grub I have now ? [16:41] blue112: Its possible, was it an upgrade from jaunty which would have had grub 1, I don't know if upgrades converted grub 1 to grub 2 [16:41] llutz: ok. Partially you're right. I was using shortage spell. [16:41] ohir, /dev/sda3 on /windows type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,allow_other,default_permissions,blksize=4096) [16:41] blue112: grub --version [16:41] DJones, possibly. Is there a way to check ? [16:42] llutz, will that check on my mounted partition or on my livecd ? [16:42] blue112: your running system [16:42] What's the common tool for ripping and encoding audio CD's into mp3 format? Something like Ahead Nero on Windows? [16:42] I have chrooted into my mounted partition and it says : grub (GNU GRUB 0.97) [16:42] blue112: I'm not sure, grub 1 used to say version 0.97 when it booted, grub2 shows version 1.97 [16:42] How do I manually add a menu entry to GRUB? [16:42] madjoe: Sound Juicer is pretty good, but I think Rhythmbox which is installed by default should work too. [16:42] madjoe: Sound Juicer [16:42] DJones, when I boot, I just have a grub prompt... No menu. [16:42] adrian tirado fernandez [16:43] cellofellow: jinx [16:43] madjoe, k3b seems to be a close equivalent... it's a burner/ripper/prettymucheverything [16:43] dinosaurvskitten: does sudo cat opportunist_file work? [16:43] ohir, no [16:43] blue112: That suggests to me its grub 1 [16:43] !grub | blue112 Maybe this is a more helpful guide [16:43] blue112 Maybe this is a more helpful guide: 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. [16:43] hola [16:43] ohir, (same error message - permission denied) [16:43] Ok, thanks DJones [16:43] pawbie: the moment you said that Compiz crashed. [16:43] hello [16:44] blue112: Good luck, I'm heading away from the computer for a while now, hope you get it sorted [16:44] dinosaurvskitten: are you member of group "fuse"? [16:44] eleven [16:44] ok ok =) [16:44] pawbie, cellofellow & dinosaurvskitten: so k3b is probably the best solution to avoid 3-4 different tools... Rhytmbox does everything except burning I guess? [16:45] cellofellow: Wow. Sorry ;) [16:45] one [16:45] holaaa [16:45] hola [16:45] madjoe: I stick to sound juicer - only because I've been using it forever. I've never tried the other tools people have mentioned, to be honest. [16:45] llutz, no [16:45] pawbie, cellofellow & dinosaurvskitten: is there a reason to switch to Sound Juicer from Rhytmbox? [16:45] que [16:45] llutz, I can access pretty much every single other file on that partition except for that folder [16:45] dinosaurvskitten: sudo adduser $USER fuse [16:45] madjoe: not really [16:45] cellofellow: good to know that [16:45] dinosaurvskitten: so I don't know. Some time passed since I looked at ntfs-3g internals. My thoughts are that either fs is not clean (then it should not be possible to mount it rw) or somewhat this is orphaned part of file dangling in dir. [16:46] madjoe: mostly I forgot that Rhythmbox has a ripper, as I don't use rbox. [16:46] ohir, yeah I also think it's a cleanliness problem, but then why did it even allow me to mount it? [16:46] a todos [16:46] hola floddbot1 [16:46] dinosaurvskitten: it should not allow rw until forced (by by hand rw remount) [16:46] !es | sergbr [16:46] sergbr: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

[18:40] why ? [18:40] Bulltitan: I've seen folks use /etc/network/interfaces to setup their wifi as a master and in mode adhoc [18:40] Snicks: I'd get in there with a live disk. You can still mount your drives and (I don't know if it's the problem, but) determine your UUIDs. [18:40] `m00se` you here ? [18:40] ok better close other applications [18:40] anyone know how to use vmstat? [18:40] yes I have madscientist032, but strangely when I tried to update it manually again, it said "Update process died" and asked me if I killed it manually.

[19:00] serverduck: You'll like it a lot when you use it for a while :) [19:00] hello! [19:00] Serverduck: Ubuntu is a ptetty easy OS to use once you get used to it [19:00] the_real_dave, HEhehehe:P I've installed it...and started in the terminal, it shows me a lot of things:D [19:01] the_real_dave, I have root/my username/syslog/messageb/root as users [19:01] getting used to ubuntu is its biggest obstacle to become more mainstream [19:01] Serverduck: terminal is very powerful. You can get imilar power in windows with powershell [19:02] hi all, is there a way to find out what package a file belongs to? [19:02] Randall_: linux in general is easy once you get to grips with it [19:02] ActionParsnip, With great power comes great responsibility:P [19:02] I'm attempting to install Lucid Alpha 3 through livecd and it is stuck on "Looking for other operating systems..."

[19:04] ActionParsnip: ive been using chrome a lot lately too [19:04] the_real_dave, I wonder what can it be, programs in ubuntu use different accounts?

Being honest, I don't know the details of it, but yes, some do :) Its a security thing :) [19:05] Trelayne: it will then show the packages which contain that file [19:06] major_redhat: could be your power settings [19:06] the_real_dave, I see,hmmm maybe this is it:P Some services use another account. [19:06] serverduck: sorry I couldn't help you more, but its probably nothing :) [19:06] Major_redhat: websearch for the make and model. You may find guides specific to your device [19:06] randall: yeah its my power settings but i dont know if its aspci or if its apm [19:06] ActionParsnip, thanks for that.

[19:10] ActionParsnip, no problem.. very useful, I remember it was built-in on mandriva [19:10] randall_: yeah [19:10] ActionParsnip: Sounds good:) Looks good too.

[19:12] where does ubuntu install programs? [19:12] major_redhat: adding a v before the command will give you a bit more detail [19:12] Major_redhat: you may need a module or setting to lick in some power saving stuff. Websearches will help [19:13] Kubanc: all over, libs can be used by more than one app and will reside in /lib [19:13] kubanc: there is no one place for programs. ubuntu holds diffrent types of files in diffrent directories [19:13] Kubanc: there is no one place apps are installed to [19:13] kubanc: thats why there is package managers like synapitic [19:13] ActionParsnip: I figured as much - my win7 partition uses Lenovos Intellipower (or something like that), not windows built-in power management software [19:14] Kubanc: it allows apps to be smaller when downloaded if you already have half the files its made of [19:14] ActionParsnip, so how do i see where i have installed my google chrome program. should i use command find -name google? [19:14] Major_redhat: lenovo love linux, i'd try find some guides [19:14] ActionParsnip: yep - google here i come!

[19:37] uhuh [19:37] email? web ? [19:37] Now I have all the domains so that is fine. [19:37] cups crashes my system everytime i try to print [19:38] No email, we'll use google email. [19:38] and my pdf printer is gone [19:38] ok [19:38] Therefore no need for mailserver. [19:38] so just apache ? [19:38] Yes just apache [19:38] PHP [19:38] or do you want J2EE / something else too ? [19:38] MySQL [19:38] right [19:38] The basic stuff [19:38] I have successfully installed LAMP [19:38] and are you hosting multiple domains on the same IP, or a different IP per domain ? [19:38] I can goto the ip and see It works. [19:38] (or multiple IPs per domain) [19:38] it used to work before the new update and now i cant figure out how to revert [19:38] same IP multiple domains. [19:38] I need to migrate a running install to a second hard drive; I cannot access my DVD drive, as it is PATA, same as my old HDD, and my mobo doesn't support more than one PATA drive at once [19:38] Now. [19:39] ok, so a standard virtual hosting [19:39] I installed Plesk but that required a key for more than one domain. [19:39] I tried eBox and it's not too great. [19:39] cPanel only for CentOs [19:39] I know nothing of plesk, and I've not had good experiences with ebox [19:39] I've been looking into ISPConfig [19:39] so you want to have some kind of web interface for managing this stuff ? [19:39] Yes [19:39] I will try ebox again but [19:40] my printer is screwed after updating [19:40] It was asking for all this information [19:40] sup yall [19:40] Like dydns etc [19:40] ok, I think we missed that bit to begin with :) === luis__lopez is now known as luis_lopez [19:40] ebox is more designed as an office server I feel [19:40] If eBox can help me in creating multiple vhosts [19:40] Hello, I booted into Ubuntu Live CD and I'm trying to create a software RAID-5 array between my 4 1TB drives. I created the RAID successfully but when I went to the installer it would not let me select the /dev/md0 and install to that. I hit specify partitions manually, then select /dev/md0 and it says "No root file system is defined. Please correct this from the partitioning menu." Please, I need help. [19:40] Great I would definitely take your advice 100% [19:40] It's just getting this setup and functioning [19:40] ubyserver: any reason you dont want to do it by hand ? [19:40] I did do it by hand [19:41] :) [19:41] I was launching ebox [19:41] a couple of scripts would automate creating new domains etc [19:41] I did ebox-samba, ebox-webserver [19:41] no I mean, adding vhosts by hand to apache / creating mysql databases [19:41] Maletor, you need to specify the mount point of md0 as "/" [19:41] Oh because I would like the management to do that in cace [19:41] I am unavailable. [19:41] ok [19:41] Two4: how do i do that? [19:41] I could definitely do it by hand [19:41] my printer is screwed after updating cups! [19:42] you will let management near the server? :) [19:42] But I guess I would like to install a control panel [19:42] I don't plan on being around forever :) [19:42] Management doesn't deserve a shell account! [19:42] when you edit the partition table, you specify the ext3/4 areas and the swap areas [19:42] is anyone else having issues with google chrome? [19:42] have you looked at webmin / virtualmin ? [19:42] Two4: also right now, I have no swap space because there is no place to create it... what do i do about that? [19:42] http://www.webmin.com/virtualmin.html [19:42] I was told that ubuntu no longer supports webmin [19:42] And I just listened to advice given [19:42] ok, I dont know - I've not used these things for a long time :) [19:43] the new cups is fucked [19:43] Maletor: when you do that, there should be a drop-down menu that says "mount point:" [19:43] !language | tecan [19:43] tecan: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

You have to trust Webmin to support your system. [19:43] Two4: Now what about swap? [19:43] But linxeh if you recommend eBox can you just help me set it up correctly [19:43] I dont recommend eBox [19:43] Ok [19:44] It's like I can't partition my RAID. [19:44] Maletor: you reduce the size of your ext3/4 area and specify a swap [19:44] Only for in-house use I remember you said. [19:44] I've looked at it, without much success (it nobbled the box I was using quite nastily) [19:44] ubyserver: I think thats what it is aimed at yes, like a replacement for MS SBS [19:44] Interesting that Ubuntu rid support of a highly used tool like webmin [19:44] :( [19:45] if you don't want your swap to be RAID'd, I wouldn't know how to help you on that one [19:45] Now I don't need the server handling DNS [19:45] Because I will keep DNS at the host level. [19:45] ubyserver: its because of the way webmin does certain things [19:45] I do want my swap to be raided Two4, however when I click new partition table on /dev/md0 nothing happens. [19:45] Is there another tool that you can think of like webmin that is supported? [19:46] ISPConfig? [19:46] would anyone happen to know about migrating a running install to another hard drive? [19:46] ubyserver: eBox is the preferred option :) [19:46] Maletor: is there already a partiion table? [19:46] Hah. Back to eBox but not for me. [19:46] Because this is a webserver [19:47] Now can you help me understand how this would work [19:47] did you say you tried ispconfig ? [19:47] No [19:47] well, ebox is modular [19:47] I did not try [19:47] you dont need to install all of the modules [19:47] Does anyone in here have itunes 9?

[20:15] nahiara, habla no espanol [20:15] !nl [20:15] Nederlandstalige ondersteuning voor Ubuntu (en vers gezette koffie) is te vinden in #ubuntu-nl [20:15] aiuto per trial boot [20:15] nice :) [20:15] I downloaded 8.04 server iso, how can I confirm that I have the complete file without wasting a CD? [20:15] unkmar: md5 sum [20:15] !md5 | unkmar [20:15] unkmar: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [20:15] metacity isn't a decorator [20:16] unkmar, check the MD5sum of the .iso image against the website [20:16] un italiano? [20:16] !it | baga [20:16] baga: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [20:16] unkmar, are you running windows? [20:16] yeah, I didn't find the md5sums on the website. No, using linux. [20:17] unkmar: The md5sums are listed here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes [20:17] i have some problems with nvidia (8800gtx with prop driver). once in a while (10 minutes or so). the screen turns black fror about 2 seconds and then returns to the original. Does someone know the solution? [20:17] hmm, no MD5 hash... is it an official distribution image or a modified one? [20:17] petskull: what is metacity? can you explain me better? the problem is that sometimes i download a theme with just GTK 2.X and just modifies my start menu (panel). I just wanted to know who plays each role in the theme (i know about emerald and compiz, but i am not using them) [20:18] Ganang: Metacity themes modify your window's title bar. gtk controls the window widgets (buttons, scrollbars, window background, etc) [20:18] Two4: only one version, can't be rolled back [20:19] it's a window manager [20:19] pici: do i need the gtk theme changer installed to automatically change it? why sometime, even putting the themes inside the right folder, i cant have the "Appearence" of ubuntu recognizing it? [20:19] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window_manager [20:19] Ganang, what OS are you running? [20:19] Ubuntu jaunty 9.04 [20:20] goose: does google maintain previous versions? [20:20] Ganang: You should just be able to drag the compressed theme file into the appearance window (or use the install theme button). [20:20] The thing is that i have just installed gtk theme changer, and sometimes a theme would appear just there [20:20] Two4: not on the website, or through synaptic [20:20] pici: the point is , any GTK 2.X can be installed the way you just described? [20:20] Ganang: Yes. [20:21] Two4: Official download via http from site. I didn't see any torrents listed, probably because I'm blocking google-analytics javascript code. Which is probably Google API stuff. [20:21] i tried chaning my window drag key from alt to super but it doesn't work... any ideas? [20:21] it's still bound to alt it seems [20:22] I need help with emesene [20:22] hello i have karmic installed and very thing just fine but i have some free time and i think i want to make a lite distro and run it from my flash i thought of ubuntu minimal and openbox but i googled for it and i am realy lost can any one help me and show me a guide or something to follow for at least create a mod iso file [20:22] is there a package for dropbox in ubuntu? [20:22] unkmar: Did you look at the link I gave you? It lists the md5 hashsums for the official isos. Open a terminal and run 'md5sum' against your iso and compare them [20:22] Never mind, I just managed it [20:22] Pici: I did, and I am using it, ty. [20:22] tbrock: yes but it is proprietary [20:22] !ot | dr3mro_ [20:22] dr3mro_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[20:23] unkmar: Great [20:23] Two4: best part: I just looked up google chrome bug reports; you have to report them from inside the browser -_- [20:23] any ideas? [20:24] pici: i pointed the install to the .tar.gz file and it says that was installed succesfuly, but it doesnt comes on the theme window [20:24] hi all, since karmic my sound gives a loud crack just before it starts playing. Any pointers on how to fix this? [20:24] hello :) i have a problem installint NTRConnect D: [20:24] Hi all, im trying to use a kernel newer than 2.6.31-19 on karmic (taking it from ppa or from lucid), but, if i boot with the new kernels boot stops just after kernel detects my hard drive, nothing happens, it stays there, keyboard is working, no panic, nothing, it sits there waiting [20:24] the commands "last" and "who" show multiple logins using my user name that I did not do today. is this something I should be worried about or are those from automatic scripts/programs? [20:24] try this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [20:24] http://www.e-castig.com/index.php?r=YQAO [20:24] Ganang: Because a 'theme' includes a gtk theme and a metacity theme. If you click on the customize button you will see your gtk theme listed in the new window. [20:24] dr3mro_, [20:25] hey how do i make a syslink for a file named libmad0 to be linked to libmad [20:25] well i think its called a syslink the symbolic link thing [20:26] pici: thanks, one more question , to completely modify the theme of Ubuntu, taking in consideration the basic stuff, i would only need GTK , Metacity and Icons? There is anything else? [20:26] Petskull, ?? [20:26] Purpley: ln -s /path/to/target /path/to/link [20:26] Ganang: A background image? [20:26] can anyone help me with my problem? can't seem to instal NTRConnect, the installer does nothing [20:26] pici: oh yeah, but besides that, it is all?right? [20:27] Pici, There is no libmad though but a program calls for it, how do i make it when it requests it to be redirected to libmad0 [20:27] dr3mro_, try this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [20:27] Purpley: try renaming libmad0 to libmad [20:28] But then wouldnt my other programs get screwed up and now need libmad0?

But when I run our Java web start application (that records and plays your voice), Java seems to be looking at alsa config files and directly accesses the hardware via accesses to devices under /dev/* .

I've tried the 2 solutions listed in the forums, I do not have a firefoxrc file and setting up the alsa stuff didn't appear to help. [21:03] when i type ifconfig sometimes i find ppp0 and others i find more like ppp1 ppp2 ppp3 .. ect what does it means and sounds also it disturbs my connection [21:03] I have both windows and ubuntu installed on my laptop, is there a way for me to switch to windows right now, without rebooting? [21:03] AimlessZealot: did it work at one point? [21:03] dre, try wmvi and before you throw it out your computer try DSL or arch [21:03] Yes dabaR [21:03] AimlessZealot: You could try replacing ALSA with PulseAudio [21:03] I think when I ran Rythmnbox it stopped. [21:03] well i think its called wmvi somethhing like that wmmi maybe [21:03] where do I get packages for Lucid? I just need the samba tools from 10.04 [21:03] I tried that New, didn't seem to change anything. I still get sound from other applications, just not FF Flash [21:04] AimlessZealot: how do you like to reboot? [21:04] OS X buttons in Ubuntu? oO [21:04] edoceo: you shouldn't mix packages of different versions of ubuntu [21:04] AimlessZealot: And, did you try it already? [21:04] Purpley, you mean another distro? [21:04] LinuxGuy2009: well maybe I'll just stick with basic html. or just get mutt/imap working. firefox sucks anyway. [21:04] hi there [21:04] erUSUL: right - but my question is where to get that package? (deb files) - I cannot find a mirror [21:04] dre, Yes ubuntu could be too heavy, it was for my laptop and I run arch linux and elinks on a command line [21:04] Yes dabaR, I tried it. Sofar, I've tried both restart off of the menu and shutting down and starting back up. [21:05] I've got ubuntu and kubuntu working properly so that would bee too much. They are showing the menus correcltly. [21:05] AimlessZealot: Whenn you test to see if it works, make sure you don't and didn't have other applications open that output audio. With ALSA apps using sound can interfere with one another.

[21:43] fark i was hoping to avoid that [21:43] For some reason my x server stopped working right today. I got an error saying my settings couldn't be detected correctly. Where should I look to troubleshoot this? [21:43] MysteryGuy, right click on panel, add to panel, force application to quit [21:43] linuxguy2009: no not first time i have tried few other distros all give me the same problem after a while [21:43] i should just buy an older supported card [21:44] i'm having trouble running a installer, ls can see the file, but i cannot run it [21:44] Oh ty :D [21:44] i wanna have some fun with backtrack, its tools are very handy on a wired network so far [21:44] * gwtl will ask again later...

But now I wonder if there's anyway to setup a dashboard for my webpage so users can click to what they want to use [21:45] Hi, as I have said earlier... I have a PCI SATALink card for SATA drives. When upgrading from Jaunty to Karmic, the SATA drives no longer appear as /dev/sdx devices and do not mount. However, booting an older kernel will make the devices appear again. The output from dmesg differs when booting the old and new kernel: http://pastebin.com/ZfJVTwLW [21:45] hello, how do i turn off the hardware performance counter framework? i tried echo 2 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_counter_paranoid under su but it said permission denied [21:45] DarkX: are you typing ./filename [21:45] i extract it from its archive, then try to run it, but nothing happens at all [21:45] yes [21:45] (complete newbie, ubuntu 9.10 server) I just inserted a DGE-530T gigabit ethernet card. lspci recognizes the card. What do I do from here? [21:45] whats wierd is if this card isnt supported then under my usb devices it has its max speed, and how many max packets [21:45] any one know anything about a program called xwii?

[21:48] can someone please help. my svideo does not work since i upgraded to 9.1 worked fine on 8.04 [21:48] totally_dumbfoun: that card is unfortunately pretty old; ATI no longer supports it at all. [21:48] totally_dumbfoun, WHAT VIDEO CARD? [21:48] sam555: The minimum memory requirement for Ubuntu 9.04 is 256 MB of memory. HDD is probably just a few GB. [21:48] DarkX: can you execute other files in that dir? [21:48] so what do i do? it was working fine until i upgraded ubuntu [21:48] ATI Radion X1600? [21:48] I am trying to install Ubuntu 9.10.

[21:49] HOW DO I FINISH THE FIREFOX PROCESS? [21:49] LinuxGuy2009: ok, I'll do that..thanks [21:49] sudo killall firefox [21:49] it worked fine till i went from 8.04 to 9.1 [21:49] Mags: sure [21:49] (complete newbie, ubuntu 9.10 server) I just inserted a DGE-530T gigabit ethernet card. lspci recognizes the card. What do I do from here? BUMP [21:49] MysteryGuy, ps -aux | grep firefox. and then kill -9 PID's [21:49] totally_dumbfoun: because ATI doesn't support it any more. newer versions of fglrx have dropped the card. [21:50] Thank you default :) [21:50] Fixed it in a sec [21:50] so what i just can't use it anymore [21:50] MysteryGuy, sudo killall firefox [21:50] I did that [21:50] koo [21:50] hi [21:50] hello, how do i turn off the hardware performance counter framework? i tried echo 2 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_counter_paranoid under su but it said permission denied [21:50] how can I open two instances of totem? [21:51] I am having so many problems with Linux D: [21:51] melwtech35, sudo su [21:51] melwtech35: echo 2 | sudo tee /proc/sys... [21:51] melwtech35, echo 2 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_counter_paranoid [21:51] anyone has a good suggestion for a file to be run? :p [21:51] like that diamond one [21:51] so am i getting that right? just bc my card is old i can't use it at all now? [21:51] default, i tried that it says permission denied [21:51] melwtech35: echo 2 | sudo tee /proc/sys... === jon is now known as Guest78397 [21:51] totally_dumbfoun: I don't know. If fglrx no longer supports it and free drivers do not provide the functionality you need, then there's really only the option of using an older version. [21:51] what port does Remote Desktop use? [21:52] melwtech35: man tee [21:52] melwtech35, [21:52] pm [21:52] Now that there just goes to show how unstable 9.10 is. I just got logged out and it froze up for no apparent reason. lmao [21:52] gmzlj, thanks [21:52] you mean using 8.04? [21:52] DarkX: just make a bash script really fast. [21:52] melwtech35: np [21:52] any examples? ._. [21:52] LinuxGuy2009: Stable enough for me [21:52] pastebin or whisper or so D: [21:52] DarkX: echo ls > exectest && chmod +x exectest && ./exectest [21:52] ok [21:52] MilitantPotato: Good for you. [21:53] 9.10 is great if you dont plan on doing anything constructive. [21:53] njbair, or use ksh93 and compile [21:53] LinuxGuy2009: why do you say that? [21:53] I just got it [21:53] Compiz isn't working, Java is working yes/no, and I get on almost all stuff I try to download "Not available in your current data" [21:53] linuxguy2009: it just happened again [21:53] what port does Remote Desktop use? [21:53] you mean using 8.04? [21:53] Hathadar: Cause if I would have been doing actual work just now I wiould have lost it all. [21:54] 3389 [21:54] can't figure out whas wrong [21:54] totally_dumbfoun: I have the same card; the last version that fglrx worked in was Intrepid. I can't tell you what to do. [21:54] seanbrystone, Windows Terminal Services, or VNC? [21:54] MysteryGuy: What is not working with compiz? I might be able to help you with that at least [21:54] a bash script has .sh as extension right? [21:54] LinuxGuy2009: Tried the LTS yea? [21:54] VNC for ubuntu === hhn is now known as Wiley [21:54] 5800 & 5900 [21:54] hello all, i have 2 Hdd, one with an xp install(hdd0) and this one(hdd1) with ubuntu on it. is there a way to boot the xp inside ubuntu ? [21:54] isnt that for tightvnc? [21:54] DarkX: a bash script starts with #!/bin/bash and is executable [21:54] I just downloaded it and I couldn't start it at all [21:54] MilitantPotato: Yeah except 8.04 is older than dirt. Im about to go back to Debian. [21:55] DarkX: if you want. just type ls in a file and save it as whatever, make it executable and run it [21:55] all VNC's use 5800 & 5900 [21:55] I found a way to put it somewhere in the Applications [21:55] but I click the shortcut [21:55] LinuxGuy2009: Old, but stable, same tends to be true with debian yea? [21:55] default, ah ok thanks [21:55] and then everything disappears, just the background disappears [21:55] appears* [21:55] then after a few secs it comes back to normal [21:55] MilitantPotato: Yeah except that the current Debian stable has newer packages than 8.04 ubuntu. [21:55] Also, I'm pretty sure my gfx card can hold it (Nvidia 9500 GT) [21:55] And way more reliable. [21:56] Paine: take a look at XBox [21:56] DanE dont you mean VBox? [21:56] LinuxGuy2009: how bad is it with backports enabled? [21:56] yes [21:56] I am trying to install Ubuntu 9.10. I get to 94% and then I get the notorious message saying, "GRUB failed to install-- this is a fatal [21:56] Dan_E, will do thanks [21:56] sorry VBox [21:56] MilitantPotato: How bad is which one? [21:56] lol [21:56] what kind of support channel is this? [21:57] LinuxGuy2009: 8.04 [21:57] I don't know what to do :( [21:57] i need help with a Pro/Wireless 2200GB [21:57] please help me [21:57] karmic koale [21:57] !wireless > krabador [21:57] krabador, please see my private message [21:57] Firefox seems to have forgotten all auto-complete history and awsomebar-ness. Also history in the search bar has been lost and Alt+B, etc, does not open the associated menu item. [21:57] Any ideas? [21:57] How do you generate timeStamps without spaces? [21:57] krabador: Also, you should ask a more detailed question if you want specific help [21:57] MilitantPotato: I dont know. All I know is that Ubuntu is based on broken Debian and with every new release it shows more and more. The Eeebuntu leader even quit using Ubuntu I read. His exact quote was " Ubuntu sucks!". hehe [21:57] i think i have major security issues [21:58] heoa: "man date" [21:58] I used to love it. [21:58] ubuntuHelp4me, what kind of machine are you attempting to install on? is it a multiboot install? Virtual Machine install? Sole install? [21:58] bcj: try starting ff from the command line with the switch --profilemanager and see if your old profile is still there [21:58] Friends just told me Ubuntu would be very cool, I got in and got astonished but after all of these problem, I rather use Windows or even Mac D: [21:58] this wifi card worked for 30 min and no more [21:58] why? [21:58] default, are you sure Remote Desktop uses 5800-5900? I still cant conntect although i forwarded the ports [21:58] erm..looks like i'm not a root user, could that be? [21:58] LinuxGuy2009: True, but it's heaps easier to use for a newbie than most other distros, which IMO is a good thing for linux. [21:58] hi root :D [21:58] i have setted it up to autologin, does it default to a non root account then? [21:58] njbair: Nope - just default :( === root is now known as Guest64844 [21:59] DarkX: yes. [21:59] default its a singel boot at this time. its a pc am using raid. [21:59] MilitantPotato: Its great if all you want to do is play IMO. [21:59] bcj: sounds like it's gone. [21:59] Okay then... :( [21:59] hi [21:59] seanbrystone, the Remote Desktop built in to Ubuntu, is VNC, it uses 5900 + Desktop #, so for desktop 0, its 5900, for destop 1, its 5901, and so on [21:59] default all works fine but at 94% i get that grub failed to install, i have google the problem and some say use supergrub but i dont know how to use it or get it on a usb [21:59] LinuxGuy2009: Ubuntu is doing a service, there might be issues, but it is ideal for new users and 90% of people who just browse the net and do multi-media stuff. [21:59] njbair: ...and I suppose there is no backup, or way to restore it anywhere? [21:59] MilitantPotato, LinuxGuy2009 the fact of the matter is that Mint, which is based off of Ubuntu, and Ubuntu itself are the two easiest distros for newbies to use. That will always keep Ubuntu at the top of the distrowatch list as long as Ubuntu continues to remain even remotely stable. [21:59] Anway, I'm a bit off topic. [21:59] njbair: i have changed my permissions and put myself in the root group [22:00] still unable to make it executable [22:00] llutz: I need "%D" but cannot see no flag for it or exaple. [22:00] bcj: not unless you have a backup of your home folder somewhere [22:00] Bye [22:00] MilitantPotato: My thoughts exactly. Cant count on it for work at all. [22:00] njbair: Bollocks :( [22:00] DarkX: that sounds like a terrible idea [22:00] hello guys. im looking for some help, ive installed the restricted extras and decss2 and dvdread4 but vlc still wont read a dvd that works fine if i open it as a dir or with my older 9.04 system (i just setup 9.10) .. plz help [22:00] heoa: date '+%D' [22:00] DarkX: try running it with sudo [22:00] how do i start securing my computron? ^^ [22:00] do winxp drivers work with ubuntu? [22:00] DarkX: and get yourself out of the root group [22:00] bouma: Thats all you need to play dvds. [22:01] (complete newbie, ubuntu 9.10 server) I just inserted a DGE-530T gigabit ethernet card. lspci recognizes the card. What do I do from here? [22:01] !dvd | bouma [22:01] bouma: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [22:01] bouma: Maybe try totem-xine? [22:01] Srayahu: I completely agree. Ease of use is what will get linux atleast somewhat mainstream. [22:01] but my normal account should be root to, i mean, when i previously installed it i got root [22:01] LinuxGuy2009: sure but i need to get vlc working, also mplayer gives the same error, im happy to reinstall the software.. but im not exactly sure what the apt line would be [22:01] njbair: This all happened after I installed Opera. [22:01] привет [22:02] hi all [22:02] bouma: Totem-xien plays DVDs. [22:02] DarkX: you don't want to run as root. You want to run as an unprivileged user, and use the sudo command to perform privileged operations. [22:02] anyone know how i can switch windows in irssi? [22:02] bouma: Easy for noobs. [22:02] MilitantPotato, Somewhat mainstream? We are mainstream enough as it is? We'll never control the majority of the market as long as Microsoft continues to strike deals with computer manufacturers and hardware companies requiring they keep their machines and hardware drivers proprietary. [22:02] can a newb get a help with a security ;-; [22:02] ok [22:02] *We aren't [22:02] bcj: can we rule out industrial espionage? [22:02] llutz: thank you. [22:02] psvasti: Just ask. [22:02] but how can i make any file (with just ls in it) as a exe then? [22:02] don't have any permissions to change the files [22:02] njbair: I'm too much of a synic. [22:02] !ask | psvasti [22:02] Wiley: esc + 1/2/3/4 or alt-1/2/3/4 [22:02] psvasti: 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. :-) [22:02] hi [22:02] DarkX, sudo chown [22:02] DarkX: chmod +x filename [22:03] brb [22:03] LinuxGuy2009: im happy to give you the error msg, and i have googled, .. ffs im not a n00b, and i need to get vlc and mplayer working, ive followed all the necessary steps and im getting errors. something simple broke [22:03] how can i protect my ubuntu system from hackers etc? [22:03] psvasti, Encrypt the HDD [22:03] psvasti: by installing it. [22:03] thanx lutts [22:03] bouma: If your on 9.10. Thats probably your issue all by itself to be honest. [22:03] ok those work when i double click on them [22:04] LinuxGuy2009, at least ask to see the error message? bouma, pastebin it for us. [22:04] Srayahu: the view of most users is linux is too complicated. CLI scares people, there's still far to much CLI use for medial tasks. Sure it has downsides, but if acquiring new users is a goal, it needs to be as mindless as possible for new users. [22:04] Ok, I copied the thing at the start, after I select Ubuntu [22:04] bouma: All you need is libdvdcss2, restricted extras, and vlc or totem-xine for playback. VLC is only needed for playback reasons and is completely optional. [22:04] I can select Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-14 [22:04] I can select Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-14(recovery) [22:05] I can select Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-16 [22:05] Srayahu: we're a bit OT, though. [22:05] I can select Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-16(recovery) [22:05] I can select Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-19 [22:05] and that with (recovery) [22:05] MilitantPotato, then as far as I'm concerned we'll remain widely unused and/or unpopular forever. That we're still so reliant on CLI is one of our strongest points. And yes, we are. [22:05] good evening [22:05] Also, I can select something that has XP on it [22:05] But when I select the 2.6.31-19 one, which is the latest, my PC reboots [22:05] so any problem for the non executable one? :p [22:06] bouma: If it doesnt work then it doesnt work. I would blame it on 9.10 reliability issues. [22:06] anyone who has managed to sync ipod touch/iphone on ubuntu 9.10 who would like to help me? :) [22:06] Can anyone tell me what my prob is? [22:06] LinuxGuy2009: btw xine wont even respond to opening as a disc, and proceeds to browse to the vobs, where by it only opens a single vob, no menu, so its the same prob as the others. and i have to move to 9.10 cause 9.04 has serious regressions with multiscreen handling where when i plug my lappy into the dock it wont switch. and even when i boot from the dock with the power on the dock(which used towork) it comes up with a black screen and [22:06] MysteryGuy:Boot the older one and remove the newer one. Problem solved. [22:06] Mags, I do not have one, but what is happening when you plug it in? [22:06] Srayahu: CLI is good, but there's a lot of tasks that need a GUI for basic setup. Far less these days though. I think the simple things should have a GUI. If people want to use CLI to say, configure xorg, great, but they shouldn't be forced to. [22:06] i have to repeatedly open the lappy ->display and toggle the lappy screen on:off, then the external on:off, and if i put the lappy screen down it turns off the external screen. incredibly anoying, but fixed under 9.10 [22:06] I am in the older one [22:06] How do I remove the newer one [22:06] Srayahu: nothing , hehe [22:07] bouma: You dont open vobs with totem-xine. You select play DVD from the menu. [22:07] so how can i install the program if i cannot run it? D: [22:07] hi [22:07] Mags, plug it in and hit up lsusb, can you see it in the list? [22:07] Help.I downloaded: he-IL-dict.oxt, and would like to use it in open office, but don't knowhow? [22:07] OK, got Vbox, anyone familiar with using it to boot my already existing OS on another HDD ? [22:07] Isusb? [22:07] LinuxGuy2009: fine i'll find all the packages to reinstall myself. perhaps you shouldnt be helping people on this chan if you arnt willing to actually, you know, make any effort to help [22:07] nvm [22:07] MysteryGuy: Edit the entry for the latest kernel, remove quiet and splash, the boot, see if you can read an error [22:07] yep it finds it, apple ipod touch 1st gen [22:07] bouma: Your just mad cuase I know how to play DVDs and you dont. Get over it. [22:07] Reinstall my Ubuntu because I could not run While the audio skype. Now, newly reinstalled ubuntu, I the laptop's mute button always on, and I have audio. How can I fix this? [22:08] Mags, i have ubuntu installed now what can i do to protect it? [22:08] Mags, now do sudo fdisk -l [22:08] Let's say I'm a Ubuntu newbie, and I have almost/no idea what you are talking about [22:08] brb [22:08] is ntfs-3g mount the same as /sbin/mount.ntfs? [22:08] psvasti: I'm quite fresh to ubuntu myself, so I don't think I'm the right person to ask ;) [22:08] MysteryGuy: on the grub screen, there's a key to press to edit it (I can't remember off hand, I believe it's E) [22:08] Is there any tutorial in that? [22:08] or does it use a different driver-ish thing than ntfs-3g? [22:08] welp,i think i just expieranced a crash, i tried to enable reflections and my sys froze [22:08] When I select Ubuntu from the "Choose OS to boot" screen? [22:09] MysteryGuy: find the line with Quiet and Splash, remove those two words, then CTRL+X (I think) to boot [22:09] Bennit: its kernel-ntfs [22:09] MysteryGuy: Select older kernel at bootup if you get a choice. Go into synaptic and find the "linux-image-xxxxxxx" that matches the newest not working kernel and remove it. [22:09] Srayahu: ok, done [22:09] ori: you can find some information here: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Dictionaries#Italian_.28Italy.29 [22:09] ops... [22:09] MysteryGuy: Yes, edit the top entry (the one that reboots) [22:09] hello [22:09] Where would I find synaptic? [22:09] LinuxGuy2009: i had no trouble with ./configure, make, make install, under lfs over 10years ago, on a 233mhz lappy, which could run mplayer full screen to decode divx's smoothly where windos couldnt, but yeah, keep trolling #ubuntu [22:09] bitfox: ? [22:09] Mags, do you see it listed? It'll appear as another filesystem like /dev/sdb, etc. [22:09] anyone? :p i need it for tomorow T^T [22:09] OK, got Vbox, anyone familiar with using it to boot my already existing OS on another HDD ? [22:09] MysteryGuy: System->Admin [22:09] alguieb abla español? [22:09] psvasti, What are you worried about? [22:10] DarkX, what's the issue? [22:10] Srayahu: nope, can't see it [22:10] LinuxGuy2009: If he could see an error message he could pos fix it yea? [22:10] ori: this is the correct link... http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Dictionaries [22:10] This seems a bit...confusing? [22:10] Mags, only the filesystems present for the computer?

I just inserted a DGE-530T gigabit ethernet card. lspci recognizes the card. What more do I need to do? [22:13] i know its impolite to ask it like this but its urgent :3 [22:13] Grackle: You dont have to use Ubuntu if you dont like it. I dont like Ubuntu either. About to remove it. [22:13] Srayahu: that site seems to be down atm [22:13] Also, I am having Compiz problem [22:13] krabador: it's working for me, try the link in your pm [22:13] Srayahu: oh nvm [22:13] I probably can't see the Compiz window [22:13] mlya? nvidia vipustila new driver/ a huli ubunta [22:14] But when I shutdown Ubuntu, the bars and everything disappears and I can see a window that seems to be it [22:14] LinuxGuy2009, I've been using Ubuntu since it came out. If the theme is that bad, I can always switch back with a couple clicks. [22:14] It's like it's under the background [22:14] DarkX, sorry, I am looking at the issue now. [22:14] any ideas how I can download my email off a server onto my local machine and make it viewable from different operating systems on the hard-drive? [22:15] ok thanks :D [22:15] Ok Im outta here. Im going back to Debian. [22:15] has anyone seen libdvdnav: Unable to find map file '/home/fred/.dvdnav/.map' [22:15] I like Debian too, but 5.03 is really starting to show it's age... >_> [22:16] bitfox: thanx [22:16] Also, when I try to download, for example, "Bos Wars" It says "Not available in the current data" [22:16] rosia vas otopred [22:16] and that happens with many other stuff [22:16] v anal [22:16] Sorry for asking so much stuff, but I am trying to get used to Linux [22:16] me 2 :) [22:17] MysteryGuy: asking questions is always a good thing. Shows you're genuinely interested :) [22:17] da hot 4 [22:17] Srayahu: can you find anything? :3 [22:17] Ok [22:17] DarkX, I'm sorry, but I don't really know what to suggest. >_> [22:17] How would I fix my "Not available in the current data" problem?

[22:31] Archy: look at alternative software. dont run Windows software on Linux unless you have to - its an almost impossible task, and WINE and derivatives such as Crossover do a good, but not perfect job. You could also look at something like VirtualBox to run Windows in a VM, or maybe a ReactOS install (though its not much better than Wine) [22:32] Vcoolio: it is mounted as 204 GB Filesystem [22:32] when i tried to run ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase i got what i put in pastebin :s [22:32] Hey [22:32] Archy: what are you trying to run?

[22:46] michael_linux: try supergrubdisk [22:46] XxxdirtyfrankxxX: ok - then we don't need to talk about it in this channel, there is #backtrack-linux for backtrack support discussion [22:46] jsubl2, interesting. well im not sure then sorry :) [22:46] ikonia [22:46] ok thank you!!! [22:47] ikonia: i tried that they werent very nice in there actually kind of mean [22:47] how do i install the kernal sources? [22:47] XxxdirtyfrankxxX: I understand that, however this channel does not support backtrack [22:47] Kangarooo: it goes to tray for me, but that may also be may configuration, don't remember [22:47] seanbrystone: thanks for the confirmation on uverse. i have att dsl and uverse is going to double my speed from 3 to 6. so hopefully it will faster to me [22:47] I have a hp tablet, it doesn't hibernate or suspend, if I rotate the screen upside down then back... I'm using randr to do the rotation.. can anybody help [22:47] but backtrack is built off of ubuntu [22:47] <`mOOse`> seanbrystone - what is uverse? [22:47] Kangarooo: boot the livecd and try there [22:47] jsubl2, i hope they double mine! [22:47] ikonia: i have 2hd, 1 has ubuntu on it, its the one i have currently loaded. i have WinXP on the other HD. To switch between the OS im just choosing in the boot menu which HD i want to start. [22:47] so later on im gonna try to follow this adapters installation with ubunus forums [22:48] XxxdirtyfrankxxX: it doesn't matter, we don't support it here, #backtrack-linux is for backtrack support, please [22:48] moose AT&T's DSL [22:48] its general stuff, its not real specific [22:48] seanbrystone: they have just started selling the fiber and uverse in my neighborhood [22:48] <`mOOse`> ahhh k [22:48] VCoolio: i dont want to dl ubuntu live cd just for that. i have xubuntu live cd but about that i know. i dont know about ubuntu [22:48] ikonia: im trying to figure out if there is a way to boot windows inside ubuntu, using the instal i already have in place on my hd [22:48] seanbrystone: my first shot at fiber [22:48] jsubl2, yeah im on fiber now, we're getting offtopic now though :) [22:48] hi all! anyone have good link's for learning CLI ? [22:48] seanbrystone: ok sorry [22:49] XxxdirtyfrankxxX: please - its not the topic for this channel, stop asking [22:49] Paine: you'd have to use virtualzation such as kvm/vmware/vbox [22:49] ikonia i appologize if im flooding but you ubuntu people are nice and actually offer good help. an hour ago you people helped me tremendously [22:49] jsubl2, dont be sorry, but you see ikonia is laying down the law :) [22:49] claws: tldp.org [22:49] jsubl2: yes, it will work... I have Verizon FIOS at home and ATT Uverse at work [22:49] XxxdirtyfrankxxX: not flooding - just offtopic so please stop asking for support with backtrack [22:49] GeekSquid: thanks [22:49] ikonia: thank you vm :) [22:49] nuff said [22:50] well i am sorry everybody, can i ask you why you like ubuntu over other linux distros? [22:50] ikonia: i tried vbox, it wants to virtually create an OS, instead of using the install already in place on the 2nd hd [22:51] ubuntu has the best online support [22:51] llutz: can you use the full notation shortcuts like "*\2" for "@daily\2"? [22:51] and it just rocks [22:51] Hey guys, I've used multiple Linux systems before, however for some reason on my newest install of Ubuntu 9.10 I cannot get my USB Hard Drive to automount, does anyone have any advice? Thanks [22:51] XxxdirtyfrankxxX, ask that in #Ubuntu-offtopic lol you gonna get yelled at (Again) [22:51] heoa: yes too [22:51] OK, I reinstalled Compiz, but the way I try to start it doesn't work [22:51] Is there any special way to use Compiz? [22:51] heoa: man 5 crontab [22:52] dude im sorry where do i go [22:52] gonzolively: did you put it in fstab? paste the line here [22:52] this is my first time using irc [22:52] XxxdirtyfrankxxX: #backtrack-linux [22:52] Vcoolio: I haven't actually put it in fstab yet [22:52] i know about the backtrack one, whats the ubuntu off topic [22:52] XxxdirtyfrankxxX, type /join #ubuntu-offtopic once you join #backtrack-linux [22:52] Hello Dear Friends; in Karmic -for the first time- I dedicated a seperate partion for /home and opt for passphrase protection for it and /home is safely encrypted now. I have my passphrase at hand. Question: Before installling a new release -let's say Lucid- should I "unlock" it, remove encryption protection by some means (?) to enable the new release write something needed (i.e. new default folders) to home directory? Or will I be asked for the pass [22:52] phrase during the install process? [22:52] So it looks like apt-get install of sun java6 sdk trashes Ubuntu, both server and client. Does anyone know about this? [22:52] My new gigabit card is recognized by lspci but is not present in ifconfig. What more do I need to do? [22:52] <----- nooob to irc [22:52] XxxdirtyfrankxxX: you go to backtrack-linux - you're already in that channel [22:52] is there a way for me to end task's ? [22:52] for all irssi users... how can i obtain a list of channels start as s* /list s*??? [22:53] gonzolively: that's the way to automount stuff; try that; /dev/device /mount/point fstype user,default 0 0 < llutz: how did you get to the fifth node or find it? [22:53] So it looks like apt-get install of sun java6 sdk trashes Ubuntu, both server and client. Does anyone know about this? [22:54] xenocampanoli: no it doesn't [22:54] Man, it really has admin on my two machines at a halt. Is this a known problem? [22:54] heoa: "see also" at "man crontab" told me [22:54] VCoolio: THanks [22:54] xenocampanoli: installing java does not issue a halt command [22:54] xenocampanoli: if you have a problem, please be specific, don't exagerate [22:55] No, not a halt command. I am stuck on one machine in synaptic, and it won't exit. [22:55] bitfox: why not use the web list ? [22:55] On my server, apt-get and dpkg are broken. [22:55] how can i end a running program manualy? [22:55] xenocampanoli: please define "broken" [22:55] llutz: when you press "$ man crontab", is there some shortcut to "$ man 5 crontab"? [22:55] claws: look at the "kill" command [22:55] bitfox: http://irc.netsplit.de/channels/?net=freenode [22:55] E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) [22:55] heoa: ehhh, i don't know [22:56] xenocampanoli: ok - that's not broken, you need to remove that lock file [22:56] ikonia: I would have thought the java installs would have been well tested. [22:56] xenocampanoli: it's nothing to do with java [22:56] xenocampanoli: you have a lock file in place [22:57] llutz: like "^n", "^}", "^)", "^j" with info [22:57] xenocampanoli, that also may happen if you try to apt-get while synaptic is also open [22:57] hiya ubuntu fans [22:57] heoa: i don't think you can, but i'm not sure [22:57] are u all real people? [22:57] Okay, I deleted the lock on the server. it seems fine now. Should I install some other way? It looks like java sdk installs are hosed? [22:58] jordan_: yes [22:58] xenocampanoli: stop saying java installs are "hosed" explain the problem [22:58] jordan_: Yes we are and hi. [22:58] Where I froze up on the server was the JRE thingy. It gave me a dialog box, but did not allow any response. [22:58] xenocampanoli: if you exagerate the problem, or don't give details, we can't help [22:58] i have a question [22:58] jordan_ All exept ubottu :) [22:58] Download from ubuntu ATI 5770 , restart ubuntu and then get a small image saying: AMD Hardware Incompartible [22:58] got any tips ? [22:58] ikonia: Dialog box is the right thing to say I believe. It was where it asked permissions. [22:58] claws, and theres also htop you can use to semi-graphically see AND kill a running process [22:58] how do i get a desktop like the Linspire os [22:59] I didn't get to see that on my workstation though. On there, synaptic just froze. [22:59] xenocampanoli: you need to use tab to navigate around the dialog and accept the license [22:59] ? [22:59] ikonia: . I believe I tried that. I can try again. What about synaptic. It just froze on my laptop. [22:59] got any tips? [23:00] xenocampanoli: reboot your laptop and try again, you probably missed the dialog gui [23:00] ikona how good r u with ubuntu [23:00] jordan_: I'm fine [23:00] ikonia: Sounds like they could do a better job of that. I better install it from shell next time. [23:00] linxeh: I think there was a particular shortcuts to have channels list with irssi [23:00] how do u send messages to others but others cant see? [23:00] jordan_: Try to change themes etc. if you mean that. [23:00] xenocampanoli: no - hundreeds / thousands of other people don't have an issue with this [23:01] xenocampanoli: it works fine [23:01] linxeh: how can i move all server messages to another blank window? [23:01] idk what im doing :S [23:01] jordan_, type /msg seanbrystone Hello! [23:01] I don't believe you. But I want to be helpful...dragging off to a meeting. I will try again later and try to give more information on this area. [23:01] <`mOOse`> java is probably installed as often or more often than mp3 codecs xenocampanoli.... [23:01] <`mOOse`> probably THE most installed drivers [23:01] bitfox: I'd ask in #irssi, or read the irssi FAQ/manual [23:01] bitfox: I read it to set it up, now I just use it [23:02] xenocampanoli: look at the bug reports - thousands of people have no proble, yet you are the first to report this....I wonder if it's java.....or you ? [23:02] whats desktops can u download? [23:02] <`mOOse`> xenocampanoli - and as many people bitch about it too - flash is really nasty in linux [23:02] i tell whats nasty in linux [23:02] flash is nasty in any OS [23:02] looking at tiger woods in firefox XD [23:02] xenocampanoli: I use java extensively. I've just installed a new ubuntu box with openjdk on, and upgraded another. both worked fine. [23:03] jordan_: all the standard ones are available, gnome/kde/xfce/fluxbox etc [23:03] fluxbox? [23:03] !desktop | jordan_ [23:03] jordan_: 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 [23:03] jordan_: yes, it' a desktop [23:03] linxeh: I have already read the manual but i'm not sure about the steps to follow... i ask in irssi channel [23:03] xenocampanoli: what problem are you having ? [23:03] linxeh: thanks [23:03] jordan_: ubuntu (GNOME), kunumtu (KDE), xubuntu (xfce) and you can install any other by your own. [23:03] !gnomelook | jordan_ [23:03] hi, I'm trying to set up samba.

[23:09] whats another desktop ubuntu uses [23:09] apart from fluxbox [23:09] jordan_: I listed them for you [23:09] jordan_: you where also given a link from ubottu [23:09] jordan_: KDE,XFCE,LXDE.... [23:09] sorry [23:09] Hello! [23:09] Howdy [23:10] i just installed ubuntu 9.10 for first time [23:10] How did it go? [23:10] <`mOOse`> XFCE FTW [23:10] Odd, I have learned that if I download a flash video, Totem plays it perfectly, but Firefox still won't allow sound. [23:10] 9.10 was a bit buggy for me, but I love it now that I've ironed it out [23:10] badly [23:10] Ugh sorry to hear that. What's going on? Still having some bugs? [23:11] I like 9.10 myself, but this is annoying me. [23:11] idk [23:11] jordan_: Yes, and you have GNOME at hand now. Do you want to change it? [23:11] just wont let me access my usb [23:11] Flash drive / ext hard drive? [23:11] flash usb [23:11] i have coursework to finish [23:12] just saying error [23:12] I've got a samba domain controller box that my Nt4 and W95 systems (not domain members) cannot connect to [23:12] funny enought [23:12] ok i(ve understood (im french) but i need a little thing : do i have to tick "Shared to other computer" for ethernet ( [23:12] it works on my windows vista laptop [23:12] weird [23:12] when you plug it in [23:12] if you run lsusb [23:12] jordan_: Interesting. What you get when you connect your flash drive? [23:12] Might want to see if you have any unnamed entries [23:12] or wifi (the one who is connected to internet [23:13] "Specified server cannot perform requested operation" when we try to connect [23:13] ow deart [23:13] that made things a bit worser [23:13] this O/S is full of surprises lol [23:13] If, i have vista,seven and ubuntu on hdd.i have grub loader. but i can choose only to boot linux or start windows loader(where i can choose vista or seven, and wich doesn't works).can i boot windows directly from grub??? [23:13] lol [23:13] It's a little back and forth, but once you get the hang of it it's great [23:14] i lost all my work now :S [23:14] and still can't access the usb [23:14] help pls! [23:14] wich one am i suppose to share, the one which got internet or the other one (ethernet here) [23:14] hey [23:16] jordan_: I have four USB connections to Ubuntu right now, one is USB Flash, one is USB expension. I have never heard such an issue. [23:16] OooKoTooO: you can install ubuntu once you have vista and seven loaded, ubuntu will detect the other os's and bring them into grub so you can select vista 7 or ubuntu [23:16] while using fdisk on my new SSD, i noticed it had already set the start sectors of the new partition to 63 ... is this correct for ssd slignment with 512 byte blocks? [23:17] asdf [23:18] what sort of desktop does xandros use? [23:18] linxeh: sorry it just happened again [23:18] it detect's only *windows loader* [23:18] OooKoTooO: You can boot Vista from Grub and that's what you are supposed to do. [23:19] OooKoTooO: the windows loader will then give you the choice of vista or 7 [23:19] Any idea about gsoc?? [23:19] yes [23:19] but [23:19] linxeh: the first photo was a screen shot the other 2 i took them with my mobile [23:19] i broke filesystem [23:19] and [23:19] ow [23:19] only linux can work with it [23:20] its KDE desktop [23:20] Hey guys im trying to log in to su but I errrrrr kind of embarssing but forgot my password :) but I know my password for sudo can i change it using sudo or am I screwed? [23:20] nickolas: yeah, I know the first was a screenshot. does it not show up in a screenshot when it goes wrong? and can you take a picture with your mobile phone from further away ? [23:20] so i need direct loading windows from grub [23:20] like, so its not all fuzzy and with movement blur ? [23:20] is it possible?? [23:21] guys, any idea? [23:21] OooKoTooO: grub can boot windows, or you can remove grub by running the Windows CD and using the repair console (but you wont be be able to boot into ubuntu again) [23:21] Purpley: use sudo [23:21] Purpley: yes, try sudo passwd root [23:21] OooKoTooO: In my opinion, yes its more than possible. [23:21] Purpley: why do you have a root password ? [23:21] yes [23:22] linxeh: if i take it from further out it doesn't show is blury [23:22] i need help [23:22] Purpley: your sudo password is the first users password, if you lost it .. at grub screen press and hold SHIFT (Karmic) or ESC (Jaunty and earlier) to get to grub screen then use recovery mode to change your password using 'passwd username' [23:22] linxeh, why wouldnt i? I dont want my retarded brother doing something stupid on my ubuntu last time I let him on my computer he screwed my sound up [23:22] Hi, any white hat hackers in here? [23:22] where can i find a website telling me all the available GUI's for ubuntu [23:22] linxeh: yes, but i said i broke fs, and when i write bootrec /fixboot it says that fs is not detected [23:22] Purpley: you should be using sudo. its much more powerful [23:23] linxeh, But its kind of stupid to be leaving su unsecured [23:23] BUT i started windows 7 couple times [23:23] and it became broken [23:23] manas, tons, but thats OT (off-topic) for this channel [23:23] Purpley: su IS secured. there is no root password by default. you set up who can use sudo, and what they can do with it with rules in /etc/sudoers === default is now known as Brokie [23:23] !root | Purpley [23:23] marenostrum: how can i do this? [23:23] Purpley: 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 [23:23] Purpley: by default only the first user you create has sudo access [23:24] linxeh: nothing works when i get that error i have to shutdown the laptop manualy [23:24] Purpley: having no root password set doesn't make su unsecured. Rather, it means no-one can become root using su, which is arguably safest of all... === Brokie is now known as default [23:24] jordan_: you mean like this? http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/derivatives === default is now known as brokie [23:24] GeekSquid, No it is not impossible, you can brute force it with a super computer but anyway I set a password on su [23:24] Hi, I need to install the MPEG-4 AAC decoder plug-in on an ubuntu machine that is not hooked to ethernet. Can someone help em find and manually install the plug in? [23:25] Purpley: it doesnt need a supercomputer. a typical small botnet will crack passwords in a small amount of time [23:25] Losha, Very well how do i disable it? [23:25] elrox: can you tell me a place where i can find documentation that works to hack a persons email id [23:25] Purpley, you can not brute force something that does not exist [23:25] Purpley: you cannot bruteforce the root password if there isn't one, you can however bruteforce the sudoers user and have root access [23:25] -10 cool points manas. [23:25] only if you gave the users root access with sudo [23:26] Hi, I need to install the MPEG-4 AAC decoder plug-in on an ubuntu machine that is not hooked to ethernet. Can someone help em find and manually install the plug in? [23:26] you can easily lock sudo down to just particular commands for particular users [23:26] eric_3: what version of ubuntu? [23:26] Purpley: well, you put an asterisk in the second field of the first line of /etc/shadow... [23:26] 9.10 [23:26] linxeh, depends on your password, mine use symbols, numbers and letters and are usually 30+ character long and are completely random === brokie is now known as Default [23:26] AimlessZealot: what is that [23:26] #teresina [23:27] Purpley: i have my pets name as sudo password [23:27] Purpley: nothing is completely random. but even so, having a root account is largely pointless. for day-to-day things it is better to rely on sudo - at least that way there is an audit trail of who did what when [23:27] red: lol [23:27] manas: that kind of thing is generally considered off-topic here... [23:27] you call your pet 2%$!#!2sfshgh21143 too ? [23:27] GeekSquid: 9.10 [23:28] but my pets name is completely random, uses symbols, numbers and is over 30 character long ;) [23:28] i dont get all these ubuntu disks i got [23:28] linxeh, wheres the log? I never heard of a log for sudo [23:28] Purpley: check auth.log [23:28] where is that log located by default btw? [23:28] maybe you have a link on some manual?? [23:29] eric_3: search here http://packages.ubuntu.com [23:29] Purpley: almost all logs are in /var/log somewhere... [23:29] red: /var/log with most others [23:29] GeekSquid thanks, but how do i manually install it? [23:29] Hi... looking for some wlan help in karmic using an archaic prism card. [23:29] Losha, I know, i just never check logs unless absolutley neccesary im too lazy i like --verbose more so i dont have to go look in there :) [23:29] it should also tell you about failures as well as successes [23:30] Hey I'm trying to watch some video streams and firefox keeps freezing the stream and isn't too compatible with the site. WHat browser should I use? [23:30] eric_3: after downloading the file ... it will end in .deb ... double clicking on it will install it with the Debian Package Installer [23:30] eric_3, it will be a .deb,,, just dpkg -i name.deb [23:30] or -debug [23:30] Got any suggestions? [23:30] Purpley: you should get used to the logs - else you'll miss attacks (assuming your box is internet facing in some way) [23:30] serverduck: what site? [23:30] GeekSquid, Elrox, Thanks! [23:30] serverduck, I think the freezes are from flash and not for firefox. Try chorme [23:30] GeekSquid, CAn I post it here? [23:30] Purpley: fwiw, I have ssh running on a non-standard port, and I still get lots of ssh brute force style attacks [23:31] Nitsuga, Yes, the site uses flash for video streaming... [23:31] serverduck: type /msg Geeksquid www.site.com [23:31] eric_3, be sure to use sudo with that ;-) [23:31] tempted to set up port knocking [23:31] serverduck, also if the layout looks wrong the only browser you can use to see it "properly" is internet explorer [23:31] Nitsuga, I have the 9.10 64 bit version. [23:31] hah, nice [23:31] serverduck: correction /msg GeekSquid site [23:31] linxeh: that log showed some dude from holland had been bruteforcing me [23:31] serverduck, did you try the native 64-bit flash? [23:31] linxeh, wow for some reason sshd is always running for me even though I dont use it most of the time :P im amazed I never got hacked i also run http [23:32] Nitsuga, I used software center, I'm new to ubuntu. I installed flash from there. [23:32] fsck.ext3: Device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/sda3 Filesystem mounted or opened exclusively by another program? Any ideas? [23:32] i want to be able to switch between ubuntu and windows like in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1_je9zBNaE is it still possible? [23:32] Purpley: you said yourself you dont check logs. how do you know ? how do you know the hacker didnt delete his entries in the log ? [23:32] linxeh: since I moved my sshd to a non-standard port, I've had attacks drop to almost zero. There are almost 65535 ports to choose from. Few people bother. Pick a new port? [23:33] is it usual to get bruteforced upon? :p [23:33] my auth.log showed three occasions during past two months that someone has been trying to get in for hours at a time === paolo_ is now known as krabador [23:33] Losha: yeah, I should do - I'm lazy though ;-) I only accept connections from certain IPs now, between 8am and 7pm, and only with key access (no passwords) [23:33] linxeh, Im pretty sure he would of done something to my computer and anyway I have all my important doc's and business stuff in a truecrypt partition [23:33] serverduck, mmm... Software center's flash is merely an emulation of the 32 bit one. It's very buggy. There is an alpha 64 bit version of flash. It is way more stable than the emulation that we are currently using (it is planned to use that versin for defailt in Lucid) [23:33] red: its normal if you dont change the ports yes [23:34] Purpley: maybe your machine is now part of a linux botnet!! [23:34] linxeh: I too only accept keyed access. I used to use more restrictions but between keys and a non-standard listening port, there have been virtually no breakin attempts any more [23:34] how to remove "117 GB Filesystem" icons from desktop ? [23:35] linxeh: guess ill change the port and add some extra safety on the password [23:35] linxeh, now your scaring me, come to speak of it, my network usually gets really really laggy sometimes is there a way to check if im in a botnet lol [23:35] currently just random lowercase and two numbers :l [23:35] serverduck, installing the native 64 bit flash isn't difficult if you follow my instructions. [23:35] can we install boot loader in raid1 ? [23:35] how to remove "117 GB Filesystem" icons from desktop ? [23:35] Archy1987, option 1: unmount it. Option 2: play with gconf (wait a minute and i will give you the exact command) [23:35] Hello could someone tell me how to change the font sze in the geany execute window? [23:35] Nitsuga, Ok, but first I uninstal this one? from software center ? [23:35] OooKoTooO: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot [23:36] serverduck, yes, please [23:36] Nitsuga, Ok, and next? [23:36] Nitsuga, yes! thank you! i pressed unmount, and they dissapeared :)))) [23:36] Purpley: netstat, logs, change ports, lock down access, check ps, check inet.d etc [23:36] Hello could someone tell me how to change the font sze in the geany execute window? [23:36] *size [23:36] can i set the hostname of my system through a gui (karmic)? [23:36] linxeh, any tut on ubuntu's forum? [23:37] im trying to run a java program on geany [23:37] but I cant seem to change the font size [23:37] its way to small for my eyes [23:37] Archy1987, they will appear again when you access it. If you need thet volume mounted you can remove the icons. [23:37] Purpley: probably :) [23:37] Travler - it's a config setting in COMP [23:37] where do I find it Sir? [23:37] COMPIZ [23:37] Nitsuga, thank you ! :) [23:37] Nitsuga, Done, i uninstalled it, and now? [23:37] i just installed ubuntu last night [23:37] I'll throw my problem out there and see if anyone in this batch knows the answer... [23:38] Purpley: some ISPs are notorious for getting slow during peak times. Check your ping times to external servers e.g. google [23:38] linxeh, kk Ill get to that at some point :) Right now this freggin idjc isnt working and shoutcast server isnt grrrrrrr [23:38] serverduck, i'm googling the download page. Please wait me [23:38] Losha, I do the pings are normal [23:38] Nitsuga, Shure, thanks so much. [23:38] I've uninstalled and reinstalled Flash, Firefox and every audio component -- No luck. Firefox does not play flash audio and Sound Preferences do not even list it while Youtube or any other flash service is running. Anyone have a clue? [23:38] Purpley, you can create your own log, by opening a screen (so you can detatch it and let it run) and running watch --interval 1 "ps -fe | grep ssh | tee ssh.log" (change the ssh for the service you want to monitor) and i'm sure there's more options to add to that but thats one i run daily [23:38] I ran dd to copy one partition to another, and I'm wondering if there is anyway to tell how far a long it is? [23:38] Traveler1: This may be helpful: http://www.geany.org/Documentation/Manual [23:38] Travler - check in system-preferences-appearances [23:39] how do I lock the root user so it can't be used, but sudo would still work? [23:39] I did no options in there for the output window look [23:39] check in users, and uncheck root [23:39] red: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo#Re-disabling%20your%20root%20account [23:39] my oscommerce site got hacked that runs on my local desktop, As far as I could see they only could change the index.html file and added two files at /var/www/catalog/images. But now I see an open port listining on port 44765 when I do netstat -pant, I don't see what file this attaches to. so what is it? bad?

Ctrl+Keypad+ http://www.geany.org/manual/current/ [23:45] serverduck, "gksudo nautilus" is for opening the file manager with full permissions. [23:45] apt-get -f update leaves my terminal frozen for a long time with '99% [Waiting for headers] [23:45] Nitsuga, Did that:) [23:45] a bit of a general question, is there away to view the raw data between an encrypted dvd and the media player?

[23:50] serverduck, sure! thanks for asking!

[23:52] Anyone know why dd would be copying at a rate of 2.8 MB/s between two 3gb/s sata drives? :( [23:53] nickolas, have you disabled compiz?

[23:54] hi [23:54] I'm beginning to think the drive has gone bad [23:54] Purpley: depends what's in them, but try 'make' first... [23:54] smrln are you running dd on a drive and storing the image on the other? [23:54] nickolas, ATI does not support compiz, Officially, try with compiz disabled just as a test, that may not be it at all but is one major thing with ATI to eliminate from our search for the cause of the issue [23:55] smrln, I have similar issues with data rates to you with karmic. The problem happily vanishes under lucid. [23:55] randall: what shering issue [23:55] losha: nothing out of the ordinary that I can see [23:55] i have one question.... [23:55] dacorr, I ran this command dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdb1 [23:55] Losha, Isn't there a command for ./configure where if you dont have a dependency it will install it automatically and if there is what is it? === jackson is now known as Guest58755 [23:55] guys....how can i check my GTK version ? [23:56] hello i have one question.... [23:56] losha: time for reboot [23:56] sacarlson: well, shouldn't hurt to reboot. At best it's a ghost and will disappear. At worst, it will come back... [23:56] hemangpatel: ask please, don't ask to ask [23:56] elrox: that has happened not just with ubuntu 9.10 also with the other distributions i have tried but i'll give it a shot [23:56] Elrox: you're incorrect, compiz after Jaunty does not support ATI ... I have a very low end ATI graphics card, yet compiz runs beautifully on my computer running Jaunty [23:56] what does it mean if you "unmirror" your dual screens and they go black? [23:56] losha: ya thanks, if it returns I look deeper [23:56] any virus affect linux?? [23:56] hemangpatel, Yes [23:56] need antivirus in linux?? [23:56] hemangpatel, no [23:57] hemangpatel, No unless your reckless and idiotic [23:57] hi all. What does this mean? "option parsing failed: Error re-scanning registry , child terminated by signal" [23:57] why?? [23:57] nv helping out here [23:57] hemangpatel, there are very very very few viruses [23:57] smrln, so your imaging a drive that will slow things down a bit [23:57] hemangpatel:In short no. [23:57] hemangpatel, and a secure model that keeps your system safe. Google is a much better place to ask this to be honest [23:57] hemangpatel, Everything you download should be from the repositories which are virus-free and from reliable sources [23:58] dacorr, I really didn't want an image, but the exact file structure, because I'm copying my broken windows partition on to another drive [23:58] but virus may be come from other removable devices then??? [23:58] hemangpatel: nope, you're safe, ubuntu uses a permissioning system that does not allow viruses to run, However to protect a network of windows or apple machines it is sometimes wise to run a virus monitoring service like clam [23:58] dacorr, should I restart the process differently, because this is painfully slow [23:58] ok [23:58] GeekSquid, you are incorrect, i work directly with Novell, AMD, ATI, devs, and they do NOT officially support compiz at this time, i asked them again last week when this will come and got the same answer and last month, last quarter, last year... "soon" [23:59] hemangpatel: They may come but can not execute unless you intently allow. [23:59] ok [23:59] smrln, imaging or a bit by bit copy will be slow, especially if the disk is damaged, ie bad sectors etc [23:59] elrox: if i get out again just note that is because of this issue and if i haven't got pissed enough i might log in again other wise i would like more options how to find out first how or where to look to find some log of that error maybe then i can post it here [23:59] GeekSquid, Why dosent windows incorporate that into their OS's?
