[00:00] I select install ubuntu, and all i see is a flashing _ [00:00] smrln, i image drives a fare amount and depending on size it can take most of the day or longer [00:00] What does this mean? "option parsing failed: Error re-scanning registry , child terminated by signal" and how do i fix it? [00:00] dacorr, will it matter that the source partition is larger than the destination, but the amount of data on the source is less than the destination partition [00:00] Purpley: everything is executable from dll's in windows, bad idea from the start... Blame it on Mr. Gates [00:00] i think it [00:00] I don't want to get to the end and see an error [00:00] 's a video issue [00:01] how do i do no fb && text mode?

With those, you have to resolve dependencies manually [00:02] ShadeS: How about your login window? [00:02] hi how do I boot into shell with grub2? [00:02] I have a 50GB drive, with a 350GB windows(ntfs) partition and a 100GB ubuntu partition.

[00:05] someone can help me with v4l-dvb linux.org driver? have little issue and need little help [00:05] Elrox: Officially, it may not be supported, however, it runs beautifully here... Perhaps because the manufacturer of this particular laptop did some extra stuff that makes it possible... Either way, I believe it is Compiz that should be supporting the hardware, not the other way around, AMD, ATI, Novell (which is SUSE i.e. redhat) are not in the market of supporting software companies, while they provide SDK's and API's to communicate with their softw [00:05] smrln, if ubuntu can read the drive then copy the files you need to keep, only us dd if there is problems reading the drive [00:05] dacorr, ok thanks [00:05] Now i need id3tag wheres that?

[00:06] ShadeS: How much ram do you have? [00:06] smrln, dd images or copies everything that can be read and attempts to recreate on the destination [00:07] Losha, I know how it works I just thought it might of been a libary [00:07] ShadeS, what version are u trying to install [00:07] Any help with this: [AO OSS] audio_setup: Can't open audio device /dev/dsp: Device or resource busy ?

Ubuntu just puts them there to annoy you, you know.... [00:10] smrln, also keep in mind linux ignores windows permissions etc and will add the permissions of the user account copying and same when writing back to windows although easier to manipulate on ntfs [00:10] Archy1987, you set it up to use no pw , but beware if you don't have a pw when something goes wrong with X , then you have no access to root to run a TTY shell to write commands that can rescue your system [00:10] Archy1987: system > login window (authenticate with your password) select autamatic login [00:11] whats the pass for sudo in ubuntu privacy remix?

[00:15] djmaniax, have you run the applications from terminal to see what they report back? [00:16] why is extended desktop in 9.10 / Intel graphics so difficult? [00:16] lama12345: ubuntu privacy remix doesn't have one... by default it is un-modifiable, you can't change anything... That and it is not supported here as it is a derivative version that the majority (if not all of us) have never used [00:16] dacorr: i caught something once about a depreciated lib? file, but cqnnot repeat that error [00:16] KaiForce: it's not [00:16] archy, press alt+f2 then type "gksu /usr/sbin/gdmsetup" in [00:16] Hey.

[00:17] buntu_: which program? [00:17] KlamAV [00:17] blakkheim ok, so what am I doing wrong? If I move the monitors side by side as a regular user, it locks up my computer. If I do it as root, it doesn't lock, but i'm still mirrored rather than extended desktop [00:17] djmaniax, before update had you installed any packages not from the repositories for multimedia? [00:17] hey having apache alias problem on 9.04 and HOWTOs not helping [00:17] buntu_: clamav?

[00:18] all: hey having apache alias problem on 9.04 and HOWTOs not helping [00:19] djmaniax, must admit i have not seen the error before, i can only suggest you use synaptic to remove completly the media items add the medibuntu repositories and reinstall [00:19] boss_mc: figures, thanks. buntu_: I've always had problems installing clamav (version mismatches etc.) [00:19] Guest60115, so whats next ? [00:19] geeksquid_: i have my ubuntu set up for dual display, but everytime i restart the computer it always goes back to the single display. how do i stop this?

[00:19] garrett_: what are you using to setup the dual-display? [00:19] Losha what am i supposed to do? [00:19] sacarlson: nfs servers choose ports to listen on, that's quite normal I believe... [00:19] dacorr: pretty sure that won't work. I need to fix the lib? file that stores/logs the registry. . . ? [00:20] buntu_: dunno, maybe ask in #kde ? [00:20] archy, you go to the security tab and check "automatic login" [00:20] Hey. I can't mount any pen drive on my ubuntu box. Can anyone help me? [00:20] djmaniax, i remember having a problem with gstreamer at one point and some of the dvd packages after upgrade and i had to reinstall and faf [00:20] what do you do if you're trying to install a program from Ubuntu Software Center and it says "Not available in the current data"? [00:20] Losha; yes I'm sure now I'm just paranoid after being hacked [00:20] sacarlson: remind me, how did they get in? [00:21] Guest60115, when i type this, and press RUN - it asks me my password, and after this - nothing happened [00:21] what do you do if you're trying to install a program from Ubuntu Software Center and it says "Not available in the current data"? [00:21] all I can tell you if you don't want to get hacked with oscommers is delete the file_manager.php file in admin [00:21] Geeksquid_: the nvidia setup vendor. appearently the driver isnt compatiable with linux [00:21] djmaniax, what do the system logs say? [00:21] sacarlson: do you have a server that was hacked [00:21] #katowice [00:21] dacorr: I've reinstalled the gstreamer progs already, didn't helpthe registry at all. That depreciated lib file stops everything from working in [00:21] archy try sudo /usr/sbin/gdmsetup in the console [00:21] dacorr: I've reinstalled the gstreamer progs already, didn't helpthe registry at all. That depreciated lib file stops everything from working in the registry [00:21] sacarlson: oh right, running a web server that got hacked. Unfortunately that's kind of an occupational hazard... [00:22] garrett_: do you have nvidia-settings installed? .. you will need to run it as superuser by typing gksudo nvidia-settings into a terminal [00:22] Guest60115, sudo: /usr/sbin/gdmsetup: command not found [00:22] garrett_: but before you do that let's check a few things [00:22] sacarlson: do you have a server that was hacked [00:22] Losha: it's the old version of oscommerce that seems to have a big hole that if you go direct to the file /catalog/admin/file_manager.php you can upload any file you want [00:22] what do you do if you're trying to install a program from Ubuntu Software Center and it says "Not available in the current data"?

[00:24] Geeksquid_:describe what u mean by nvidia-settings [00:24] Guest60115, that network keyring password is annoying me so much [00:24] go to system>administration>login window and go to the security tab, and enable automatic login [00:24] Losha: well I have a new version that I'm still working on but this one has mods that will take some time === good is now known as wubi [00:25] Hey. I can't mount any pen drive on my ubuntu box. Can anyone help me? [00:25] sacarlson: open source tripwire might be a good thing for you to add. It basically keeps a list of all important files and their md5sums, so you can tell if anything changes... [00:25] Losha: for now I just renamed the admin file to a 10 leter number random that will make it take them longer next time. [00:25] Guest60115, i picked - Log in as Archy automatically [00:25] garrett_: it is a application that is provided by nvidia and the community... if you type "gksudo nvidia-settings" into a terminal ... tell me what happens after you enter your password [00:25] buntu_: what do you do if you're trying to install a program from Ubuntu Software Center and it says "Not available in the current data"?

[00:27] KaiForce: yes and no, yes in that I have been able to do it prior to the intel regression of 2009, and no in that I haven't been able to get it to work since... and stopped buying intel hardware [00:27] are you in a network with 2 computers or mor?

My computer - ubuntu, and second computer - xp [00:27] Guest60115, connection - wireless [00:28] garrett_: not wierd, kinda cool... now see if it will detect your dispalys ... set it up for your dual displays and save the configuration to /etc/X11/xorg.conf [00:28] archy, can't you just disable the network keyring thingy [00:28] which do you think it's better: Amd Sempron 140 AM3 o Intel Cel 3200?? [00:28] thanks [00:28] Guest60115, how to disable this annoying thing ? [00:29] !intel | KaiForce ... this is what I was talking about when I said regression of 2009 [00:29] KaiForce ... this is what I was talking about when I said regression of 2009: Ubuntu 9.04 has a known regression for some Intel graphics support.

[00:31] How do i view hidden files in the file browser? [00:32] Purpley, ctrl+h [00:32] djmaniax, try vlc as it uses its own gstreamer libraries and not the systems [00:32] dacorr: Still, the problem is related to a trauncated lib file [00:32] rww, what? [00:32] well is ubuntu gonna fix this sound bug [00:32] i wonna change my volume [00:32] garrett_: you with me? [00:32] dacorr: maybe, but what is the result going to actually tell us?

[00:35] garrett_: close nvidia-settings, and run gksudo nvidia-settings again [00:35] djmaniax, if it does work, you will need to purge the gstreamer and i would manually download the debs from the ubuntu websites and install just to rule out any corrupt packages etc [00:35] Guest60115, i will try this [00:36] Hi everybody [00:36] hi [00:36] !hi | Wren12 [00:36] Wren12: Hi!

[01:15] so do i install samba on ubuntu netbook ? [01:16] Four2zero: you can. [01:16] ok my next question (to anyone) is: once you've been infected by a trojan, is it really safe to use your computer again without reinstalling the whole system EVEN if you've used clamav to get rid of the trojan? [01:16] and then configure it to see the windows network. [01:16] but you don't need to. [01:16] Four2zero, you only need to install the server on ubuntu if you are going to share the resources on the ubuntu machine [01:16] What application can i get that burns protected DVD's that native to GNOME? [01:16] moonlight is not in the repos? [01:16] hello, anybody knows if it's possible to change the gdm theme in karmic ? [01:16] Four2zero: you won't need samba to access a windows share.

[01:19] ChogyDan , it seems i will have to DL a huge KDE lib [01:19] Four2zero: if you attempt to share a folder ubuntu will ask to install what it needs. [01:19] so thats out of the question [01:19] xangua, ok ill see if theres a PPA or something for moonlight 2 [01:19] chili555: can you give me some guidance on that? i have the networkmanager tray icon, but both network interfaces say "disconnected", and unplugging and plugging the ethernet cable back in doesn't trigger networkmanager to do anything like it used to [01:20] so far i have setup a static ip for the ubuntu netbook running on the same network.

[01:21] xangua, ah ok, thats no prob, I dont know of any software thats NOT beta LMAO, look at all the Google Beta projects [01:21] Lappie: netflix wont ever work on linux [01:21] if i remember correctly [01:22] cfedde, running ubuntu netbook remix. [01:22] Four2zero: ah. missed that. [01:22] chili555: the motherboard has two onboard network interfaces... neither of them trigger networkmanager to do anything when i plug a cable in (although the amber led lights up when a cable is plugged in) [01:22] oh, shucks, do you know if theres anything being developed for this? [01:22] Four2zero: I'm not especialy familiar with netbook remix. [01:22] how do you scan your harddrive from a live CD using KlamAV? [01:22] does sudo lshw -C network show an interface ethXX and a driver? [01:22] after install samba you will have to change the smb.conf file to at least reflect your network. it is workgroup by default [01:22] Lappie: doesn't xbmc have netflix support? why don't you use that? [01:23] i will deff try it :) [01:23] hello, for some reason, I lost the ability to left click with my laptop running ubuntu [01:23] geeps, does sudo lshw -C network show an interface ethXX and a driver? [01:23] works fine in windows [01:23] chili555: checking now... it's hard for me to paste the input since i'm here on IRC from a different machine :( [01:23] any ideas? [01:23] hello good morning... someone, pls help me.. [01:23] okay, anyone know how i can get ubuntu netbook remix to see the windows shared folders ? [01:23] I can move the mouse pointer ok and right click [01:23] geeps, no need to paste, just tell me if thet are there [01:24] but left clicking does nothing [01:24] hmmm xbmc is not in the package manager, how do i get it? [01:24] Lappie: I believe it is political, not developer related [01:24] screen help? [01:24] tried connecting an external mouse and same thing [01:24] Four2zero, did you install samba [01:24] so it's not hardware related [01:24] re hi, i really need some help on ics it has been 2 hours [01:24] Lappie: scratch that, it doesnt have netflix support [01:24] ahh ok, never mind then :) [01:24] somebody to help? [01:24] Noob question: I want to run machine (Ubuntu 9.04) headless. Got it to boot headless using System->Administration->Services and unchecked GDM. BUT, I need my script to start on boot (used to start on auto login of user pw: /home/pw/.config/autostart/startxgrid.sh.desktop, which was made using GUI). Tried coping startxgrid.sh to /etc/init.d/ . Then did: sudo update-rc.d startxgrid.sh defaults , which added sym link to all /etc/rc.0-6, then tried [01:24] to: sudo vi /etc/rc.local. If I run /etc/rc.local manually, it works...but NOT during boot. /etc/rc.local is executable. Gone through forums, http://tinyurl.com/embraceubuntu, http://tinyurl.com/1338673 [01:24] chili555: there are two listed, yes [01:25] DIL, Do i have to install Samba on U.N.R and Windows or just U.N.R ? [01:25] chili555: they both say *-network DISABLED on the first line [01:25] how can I debug the mouse driver? [01:25] Lappie: Boxee does, http://www.boxee.tv/ [01:25] xangua, on moonlights site i dont see beta 2 for Ubuntu, i see somethingb about compiling [01:25] guess ill just have 2 request that netflix finds a way to work in a linux [01:25] Four2zero, ubuntu [01:25] geeps, and does either show link=yes [01:25] seanbrystone: it's only a plugin, it installs inside firefox [01:25] No, i have not installed samba yet on ubuntu. [01:25] and i will check out boxee, btw, watch-movies-online.tv is working i think [01:25] geeps, what is the driver? [01:25] who know about internet sharing with ubuntu [01:25] ? [01:25] Four2zero, ok after install samba you will have to change the smb.conf file to at least reflect your network name. it is workgroup by default [01:26] anyone? [01:26] chili555: yes, they both show "link=yes" under the "configuration" line [01:26] xangua, yeah i guess its not easy to install :( [01:26] ill stick with flash [01:26] do plugins for brasero even exist? [01:26] seanbrystone: it is extremely easy :S [01:26] okay. [01:26] will try it out. [01:26] chili555: i see "driver=r8169" under the configuration line also [01:26] geeps, both?? are both plugged in?? [01:26] xangua, so make a ppa for us ;) [01:27] chili555: only one is plugged in [01:27] hmm everybody is busy... [01:27] do plugins for brasero exist? [01:27] chili555: it should be eth0 that is plugged in [01:27] now I can't alt_tab anynmore [01:27] wtf [01:27] geeps, is the dual-booted with any other operating systems?? [01:27] sorry for the stupid question [01:27] chili555: no [01:28] do plugins for brasero exist? [01:28] Guest25955: I would run: apt-cache search brasero and see what comes up (doesn't look like much) [01:28] please everyone, go to netfilx.com and put in a suggestion for linux support as well [01:28] unitedpotsmokers: Ask your question please [01:28] thanks marenostrum [01:28] geeps, does it work better if the machine is cold-booted with the cable in eth0? [01:28] Lapppie are u free to help someone with a big MAID? [01:28] ;) [01:28] chili555: also, is the "serial" line supposed to show the MAC address? [01:28] Lappie: http://developer.netflix.com/forum/read/49086Y [01:29] i think my current partition is not efficient. it is because... i only have a root and swap partition. one day if i want to upgrade or format my hard drive, it will erase everything include a home folder. so i want recreate/rebuild a new partition which it has a root, home, and a swap partitions. all these partition will create separately. so next time if i want to upgrade or format a hard drive, i will format a root partition onl [01:29] y. so the problem is, what is an ideal size for root, home, and swap partition,on my 10G hard drive... [01:29] Guest25955, brasero sux, install gnomebaker or ANY other [01:29] pastbin [01:29] geeps, yes, exactly [01:29] chili555: each one is showing something that doesn't look natural... one is 7f:7f:7f:7f:7f:7f and the other is fb:fb:fb:fb:fb:fb [01:30] unitedpotsmokers: Dou you want to do it manually? Why don't you let Ubuntu to decide? [01:30] intel core 2 2000mhz, 2GB ddr 2 ram.. [01:30] chili555: i have an ubuntu 9.10 alternate install cd here, is there a way to boot from that and test the network connection to see if it's a hardware problem? [01:30] geeps, ouch!! does dmesg | grep -e 8169 -e eth tell you anything interesting? [01:31] current swap area - 518mb [01:31] geeps, i dont think the alternate install will run live [01:31] xangua, i think i found the 3.0 moonlight plugin :D [01:32] Did you? I wasn't aware there was one. [01:32] geeps, i am sure you know this, but dont paste your dmesg stuff here; pastebin is your pal [01:32] unitedpotsmokers: skip swap, maybe 5G root and 5G home [01:32] i can pie in a violon it would be the same (french expression) i'm really becoming crazy with internet connection sharing , do u want me to tell bad things about ubuntu :) ? [01:33] geeps, do you know the hardware you're trying to assess? [01:33] ok, when i dl boxee it said "download error /tmp/boxee..... could not be opened , because the associated helper app does not exist, change the association in your prefs...what so now what? [01:33] chili555: nothing out of the ordinary from that grep [01:34] Elrox: yes, i know the motherboard [01:34] geeps, anything in sudo ethtool eth0? [01:35] geeps, what hardware? is this the ethernet NIC? you posted r8xxx thats realtek... [01:35] Hi All, is there an option somewhere to only have the latest version of Ubuntu on the boot list instead of each the in the upgrades? [01:35] unitedpotsmokers:: Your ram seems very good but disk space is interestingly low. Are you dedicating a partition for dual boot with another OS just to try Ubuntu? [01:35] did i mention i need help with ics??? [01:35] DIL, Since my windows seven is running the main windows home network, what do i put into the workgroup section in the samba configuration tool? [01:36] can anyone feel targeted pls [01:37] Four2zero, you will put the name of your home network in the smb.conf file [01:37] sorry.. disconnected [01:37] my internet is very slow.. [01:38] Four2zero, if samba installed go to >Places>network what do you see [01:38] thanks for the waste of time even you don't know or u don't want or u don't have time u should say i can't [01:38] unitedpotsmokers: tose are written while you are disconnected: Dou you want to do it manually? Why don't you let Ubuntu to decide? skip swap, maybe 5G root and 5G home . Your ram seems very good but disk space is interestingly low. Are you dedicating a partition for dual boot with another OS just to try Ubuntu? [01:39] chili555: ethtool shows "link detected: yes" for both NICs [01:40] Four2zero, if samba installed go to >Places>network what do you see [01:40] geeps, thats very weird! any possibility the BIOS has them disabled? [01:40] DIL, im running Ubuntu netbook remix [01:40] DIL, theirs no "places" [01:41] Four2zero, then find the equiv to view network [01:41] chili555: i made sure they wer enabled in the bios [01:41] unitedpotsmokers: do a 6 gig root, 4 gig home, then create a swap on your home partition [01:41] marenostrum, yes.. i will do it manually. so 5G for root and 5G home is good enough? yes i only have 10G left, because i used a lot of space to vista.. maybe i will remove it when ready [01:41] chili555: i even disabled them, rebooted, then reenabled them [01:42] Elrox: they are onboard NICs for a Gigabyte UD3P board [01:42] hi guys [01:42] Elrox: sorry, that's a Gigabyte EP45-UD3P [01:42] now i understand, netflix must have some sort of agreement with microsoft in order 2 user silverlight, and microsoft (as usual) will not allow them to support anyonewse under their agreement. THIS IS EXACTLY WHY UBUNTU WILL BE THE NEW OS FOR THE WORK IN TIME [01:42] grrrr how come i can never get any program that uses dumpcap working on 64 bit? totally locks the system up [01:42] DIL, I see Networks Connections and Network Tools [01:43] unitedpotsmokers: a 6 gig root would be better, would let you install more software [01:43] unitedpotsmokers: store large files on your other (vista) partition [01:43] Elrox, he's all yours! === PhilMather is now known as zz_PhilMather [01:43] Four2zero, under system? [01:43] hi guys [01:43] I have been receiving the same error that others have when shutting down or rebooting with network shares - CIFS VSF: blah blah cmd 50 etc..but it happens during a session, about every 30 minutes or so, not when shutting down. I am using 9.10 with an RJ45 connection..I read all of the 55 posts about it on the forum, to no aail....any ideas out there [01:44] unitedpotsmokers, use 10G por root and save your files in Vista [01:44] chili555, gee, thanks... ;-) [01:44] yes in the "system" tab [01:44] does ubuntu use a SMT kernel by default? [01:44] Hope someone has insight: Fresh install of Kubuntu 9.10, no sound at all. In KMix enabled all channels, none are muted and volume turned up. lspci reports Creative Labs CA0106 Soundblaster. Seems to be loaded fine. aplay -l reports the sound device, Configure Desktop > Multimedia > Device > Test gives no sound, no login sound, no app sounds. Pulse audio is not installed (surprisingly was not by default), ran purge pulseaudio to be sure. Ma [01:44] nually added user to group 'audio'. Still nothing. Ideas? Thanks [01:44] unitedpotsmokers, remember: Linux reads windows, but windows doesn't read linux. [01:44] system> preferences [01:44] ok so mooving on, i need to begin understanding the scripting and commands for linux, what is the best source for a noob like me? [01:44] Elrox, i shall listen and learn! [01:44] geeps, do lspci -nn and paste that plz [01:44] MilitantPotato, ok [01:44] im having graphics problems with Ubuntu [01:45] Lappie, there is a very good book on shell scripting. Bash cookbok [01:45] my display randomly cuts off, and i have to restart my entire computer [01:45] Lappie: Use google...tons of information.. Google bash linux [01:45] Lappie, *cookbook [01:45] unitedpotsmokers: Under these conditions, yes. Or you may show Ubuntu install CD that 10 GB and let it do whatever it likes. Under normal conditions you may have a 3 GB swap but your space is low. My root now 3.5 GB. so, yes skip swap, 5 root, 5 home under these conditions. [01:45] Nitsuga, yes i know that... after installing windows my grub menu lost... :p [01:45] Four2zero, is there an application tab [01:45] unitedpotsmokers: www.fs-driver.org for a windows driver which can read ext2 and ext3 partitions [01:45] unitedpotsmokers: but it's far from perfect [01:46] Lappie, and for the commands you can use the command "apropos". for example apropos video will list ffmpeg, mplayer, etc. [01:46] Merritt: use asoundconf to set your soundcard [01:46] unitedpotsmokers: I mean my root's used space is 3.5 GB. so at least 5 would be fine. [01:46] Merritt: Also, if you have an ATI card, make sure snd_hda_intel isn't loaded [01:46] geeps, *do lspci -nn and pastebin that plz [01:47] anyone else have issues with ubuntu 64 bit, and trying to use *ANY* dumpcap program like wireshark, ntop, etc? It locks up my computer every time [01:47] I have been receiving the same error that others have when shutting down or rebooting with network shares - CIFS VSF: blah blah cmd 50 etc..but it happens during a session, about every 30 minutes or so, not when shutting down. I am using 9.10 with an RJ45 connection..I read all of the 55 posts about it on the forum, to no aail....any ideas out there [01:47] marenostrum, 2 Gigs of ram is OK to run Ubuntu without swap partition? [01:47] DIL, No. just a sidebar that has: Favorites;Files & Folders; Accessories; Games; Graphics; Internet; Office; Sound & Video; System [01:47] unitedpotsmokers: I have for a few years [01:47] MilitantPotato, asoundconf does not seem to exist [01:47] hmm.. [01:48] Merritt: you'll need to get the package from jaunty repos, it was removed in karmic [01:48] unitedpotsmokers: Yes, sure. 2 GB ram is very good. But in an ideal world we give some swap as a habit :-) [01:48] Hi, how can i connect to /setup a wpa wlan connection from only command line? [01:48] the devs assumed everyone would use pulse, I guess [01:48] how to see a status of swap partition...? [01:48] unitedpotsmokers, I've never filled my 4GB ram, so I think that with 2GB you can survive "unswapped" [01:49] unitedpotsmokers: swap is rarely touched with 1gig of ram, 2 gigs almost never. [01:49] unitedpotsmokers, also some time ago I programmed a script to use windows' pagfile.sys as swap. If you want it I can give it to you. [01:49] anyone else have issues with ubuntu 64 bit, and trying to use *ANY* dumpcap program like wireshark, ntop, etc? It locks up my computer every time [01:49] Elrox: the relevant lines are here: http://pastebin.com/vgaWM6g7 [01:49] funstroke [01:49] geeps, looking, 1 sec [01:49] hi [01:49] !hello funstroke [01:49] Four2zero, logout then back in if you have installed samba [01:49] !hi funstroke [01:49] MilitantPotato, How should I pull in the package from jaunty repo? [01:49] i have a few questions [01:49] the bot isn't working! [01:50] Nitsuga, dont forget the | command [01:50] Anybody have issues with their phone connection to Karmic Koala? [01:50] ohhh [01:50] wait... i sent u a private msg... [01:50] !hi | funstroke [01:50] funstroke: 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! [01:50] two issues are troubling me, the first is that my ubuntu computer cannot recover from sleep mode [01:50] loging out, now logging back in [01:50] the second one is that i don't get sound working :( === assos_ is now known as assos [01:50] I have been receiving the same error that others have when shutting down or rebooting with network shares - CIFS VSF: blah blah cmd 50 etc..but it happens during a session, about every 30 minutes or so, not when shutting down. It makes problems with the scripts I run overnight copying files and backing up. I am using 9.10 with an RJ45 connection..I read all of the 55 posts about it on the forum, to no avail....any ideas out there [01:50] unitedpotsmokers, just repeating because i lost the internt connection: You can use the windows' pagefile as swap if you want. [01:51] Whenever vlc doesn't have focus the video turns blue, does anyone know which video output I need to use to stop this? [01:51] Nitsuga, ok how? [01:51] can someone help me get my sound and sleep working? [01:51] DIL, logged back in [01:51] im using windoz vista [01:51] complexity, please tell us what is the "blablablab" thing. [01:51] unitedpotsmokers, it works on any version of windows [01:51] MilitantPotato, Hmm, the sound card is already listed as device 0 === Netley is now known as NeT_DeMoN [01:52] ok let me c&p [01:52] Merritt: in what app? [01:52] Four2zero, click on "computer" [01:52] CIFS VFS: No response for cmd 50 mid 17327 [01:52] so we can create a swap area into a windows folder... is that what u mean? [01:52] geeps, that is a relatively new card, it has support in the latest kernel,, (2.6.32xxxx) but you have 2.6.31xxxx, prolly,,, you can check with uname -r but you can try to enable backports in your software sources [01:52] the mid number is different [01:52] unitedpotsmokers, put your windows partition to automount in /etc/fstab (mount it in /media/xxxxxxxxxxxxx) [01:52] anyone knows a reliable live usb of winxp? [01:52] MilitantPotato, aplay -l [01:52] ubottu: windows | franco [01:52] I have many of them in a row [01:52] franco: For discussion on Microsoft software, or help with same, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubottu equivalents [01:53] Elrox: strange how it was working fine for a week. i just rebooted today and poof [01:53] Merritt: hmm [01:53] Elrox: it's not the first time i've rebooted [01:53] the problem just started last week [01:53] MilitantPotato, One odd note, when I run aplay -l it repeats the card's entry 4 times. [01:53] unitedpotsmokers, windows also have a swapspace, in a file in C:\pagefile.sys. You can use that file as swap, if your partition isn't fragmented it will have the same performance as a swap partition. [01:53] geeps, you prolly had an update that borked it [01:53] wait.. Nitsuga , im searching your nickname... i need more details [01:53] I'm having an issue with standby on battery. It works fine when my machine is on AC, but on power it just stays awake. [01:53] unitedpotsmokers: Avoid from untested things if you aren't try for sake of trying. [01:54] DIL, i dont have that option. [01:54] MilitantPotato, http://pastebin.com/b0LkRUGv [01:54] if ram is not an issue (2gigs). will xfce still run faster than gnome on a netbook [01:54] Will install create a swap is I choose "use entire disk" ? [01:54] Bitsuga: got all that?

[01:55] when i first install vbox i only get the 800x600 screen, and i want to change it and try with vboxadditions but it wont install on the virtualbox because the kernel wont build. am i supposed to install it on my original pc?

It locks up my computer every time [01:55] hi there [01:55] Nitsuga: thanx anyway [01:55] i have a problem [01:55] unitedpotsmokers: at least ask if it was tested on XP or on Vista. [01:55] geeps, is that an HP by chance? [01:55] plitter: my understanding is they install on the guest [01:55] Merritt: I'm stumped, normally the inorrect soundcard is selected or another is in the default spot [01:55] geeps, or Compaq? [01:55] ChogyDan: me too... [01:56] GeekSquid: Is that one included? I don'e have it (in 3.9.12) [01:56] MilitantPotato, I'm stumped too. This is a real headache (customer's machine, if it wasn't bad enough!) Thanks for trying to help though [01:56] houston, i have a problem [01:56] Four2zero, you have to locate how to view network and or computer [01:56] !ask BichoGRILO [01:57] Elrox: neither, i bought the parts and put this computer together last week [01:57] !ask | BichoGRILO [01:57] BichoGRILO: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [01:57] anyone? simple way of getting current cpu frequency? (not cat /proc/cpuinfo) ?

Im running sudo shouldnt it run fine? [02:53] DrMrHorse: I do this from terminal in linux right? [02:53] richthegeek: scrot can crop, scrot -s [02:53] mylisto2: yes [02:53] hi [02:53] Purpley, you gotta run sudo chown on it, i dont remmeber the exact command for uuid, check man chown [02:53] ok found it.. [02:53] apeeepaz: 'ssh hostname@domain' [02:53] trism: ah, couldn't see it in the man page === superman is now known as Guest39050 [02:54] pvl1, But im running the command as superuser......isnt superuser allowed in everything normal users are and arent? [02:54] trism: -s is select.

[02:55] Purpley: in your terminal, type "man chown" so you can learn how to change the file's owner; it demands to be owned by userID 0 [02:55] !chown [02:55] DrMrHorse: seems like a pain in the rear...I'm surprised that there is nothing built into virtualbox to allow dragging of files to the guest machine [02:55] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [02:55] pvl1, When i run it without sudo it wont work because thats normal user, i need elevated permissions because im editing partitions [02:55] mylisto2: its a feature to make sure the two systems dont contaminate each other [02:56] ? [02:56] Purpley, thats correct, and you say it runs when u put in sudo? [02:56] VirtualBox has a lot of neat features that people overlook - becuse they never read the virtualbox docs. :) [02:56] no it runs when i dont [02:56] Dr_Willis: guilty [02:57] does anyone here use GPASS? [02:57] Purpley, it should be able to change anything tho [02:57] *shouldnt [02:57] Purpley, no, it doesnt work that way,,, sudo in Ubuntu is different than other distros,,, if you MUST be root then there are 2 choices,,, 1-choose other distro, 2- do sudo -i [02:57] pvl1, never mind i figured it out btw chown dosent mention uuid [02:58] Purpley, well good job. i know for a fact tho that chown or chmod work with [02:58] Purpley, i think it was chmod not chown, my b [02:58] uuid or UID? 2 very differnt things... [02:58] how do i burn dvd info from k3b? [02:59] Purpley: uid 0 = root, "sudo chown root:root yourfile" [02:59] RussellAlan: what format is it? a disk? an iso? VOB files? [02:59] RussellAlan: clarify wht you mean by 'dvd info' ? [02:59] gpass lost all my passwords, what a load of junk! [02:59] Why dosent gparted or kde partition manager recognize a ntfs file system? [02:59] when I plug in a camera, it used to ask what to do. I seem to have accidentally told it 'run fspot, and don't ask again' but I want to change my mind. can I? [02:59] Purpley: you dont have the ntfs support package installed. [02:59] yes vob [02:59] Wait nvm [02:59] Purpley: you need to install ntfs packages [02:59] DrMrHorse: the problem was a lot of apps claim they can give current cpu freq but they don't, i'd went through several [03:00] Purpley: thats a common faq with gparted trying to access ntfs stuff. [03:00] !info ntfsprogs [03:00] ntfsprogs (source: linux-ntfs): tools for doing neat things in NTFS partitions from Linux. In component main, is optional.

[03:00] Dr_Willis, No i probably do, i forgot it technically is a ntfs but its secured with truecrypt so thats why it isnt recognizing it [03:00] RussellAlan: in k3b, you choose "burn video dvd" then drop the VOBs into the VIDEO_TS folder [03:01] hmm...so can I use handbrake to extract the mp3 from an flv file? [03:01] jleeperry: there is a freeware app called flvextract [03:01] Its very VERY basic, but it can extract audio and video streams [03:02] okay...I just want the mp3 from the video... [03:02] .... crap, I forgot that im in #ubuntu [03:02] nevermind [03:02] jleeperry: handbrake is pretty good at handling flvs... [03:02] i use ffmpeg to extract audio from flv [03:03] right, and I think that it'll work for converting my flv videos for my itouch] [03:03] It does. [03:03] and I can't use ffmpeg.. [03:03] #handbrake is awesome [03:03] BGL-[2]: maybe this? http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Desktop-Environment/Screenlets/InfoPanel-45620.shtml [03:05] to extract audio from flv, do: ffmpeg -i [videofile].flv -ab 128k -ar 44100 -ac 2 [audiofilenewname].mp3 [03:05] DrMrHorse: how do I find the ip of the guest machine? [03:05] mylisto2: guest is linux? [03:05] right? [03:06] Recently I've noticed that some directory names have been changing to random 8-char words. So "Hello World" would change to "H28fha~1". This seems to happen randomly, and only a few dirs are effected. Any ideas? [03:06] this is a linux laptop - winxp was just installed on vbox [03:06] does ubuntu use SMT in the kernel by default? [03:07] mylisto2: on windows, open a command line and type ipconfig [03:07] adamkex: Yes [03:07] Anyone feel up to trying to field on my question?:) [03:07] altavatar: are those dirs encrypted? [03:07] darolu: yep, the FS is encrypted [03:08] oh yeah thats right :d [03:08] :D [03:08] *** fastest way to take a cropped screenshot is *** [03:08] AimlessZealot: not if i dont know the answer. just ask away and we'll all take a crack at it [03:08] scrot capture.jpg; mogrify -crop 1920x1080+0+0 capture.jpg [03:08] twice as fast as import and xwd [03:08] richthegeek, import name.jpg [03:09] Hi. New to linux. Is there a linux version of "manycam"? [03:09] altavatar: thay might be causing it [03:09] I have a problem others have mentioned in the forums : Firefox does not appear to make sounds when running flash-based videos like Youtube. Unfortunately, I have tried every solution I've seen including adding various rc and conf files, and (re)installing audio, flash and firefox components. Any other ideas? [03:09] ok DrMrHorse: I got both ip's - do I use them in that winscp program? [03:09] Elrox: negative. Scrot then mogrify is twice as fast. 0.498s versus 1.082s [03:09] Sweet, that last ffmpeg command worked...thanks much :) [03:09] if anyone knows, just pm me [03:10] I should state : Yesterday Youtube sound worked perfectly, and the only things I've run since then are eclipse, rythmnbox and blender [03:10] Elrox: I'm planning to take screenshots very quickly and constantly refresh them on the iTouch/iPhone. Pass back mouse clicks and exec with xdotool [03:10] Hi guys. What do you know? Another person with ubuntu problems >___<. I thought being away from it for a couple of years would help it, but alas, it's still a pain in the ass [03:10] cant ad deb http://apt.rigsofrods.com/ in apt. can any one help me out? [03:10] mylisto2: on the linux host, make sure openssh-server is install (sudo aptitude install openssh-server). then connect to the linux box by entering the linux ip [03:10] darolu: hm, contents of the dirs look okay, but I think you're probably right. Have you heard anything more about this issue? Or can you point me in any directions? [03:11] Heh Fly, I assume it's because I'm new to linux in general. so far I like Ubuntu, I'm just new and clueless. [03:12] Aimless, I've been on/off linux of a couple of years. I got off because it was bs trying to get everything to work right. It caused more headaches than it solved. I just re-download it, and re-instelled 9.10 and it's still being a pain [03:12] cant ad deb http://apt.rigsofrods.com/ in APT. help please. [03:13] AimlessZealot: the problem is probably not you [03:13] altavatar: out of the regular docs you find with google, I don't know where to find a solution for it; I used to have my /home encrypted but many of my files started to have errors like the one you have and I stopped encrypting it, I never really knew what -exactly- caused it :( sorry [03:13] I don't mind the "getting everything to work right" generally -- I'm a hobbyist programmer.. This frustrates me only because I can't think of a new area to explore short of reinstalling ubuntu. [03:13] so here's the problem: Ubuntu just wont boot. It'll show the loading screen for ubuntu (like the windows XP one, with the little line filling up letting you know the OS is starting up) then the screen goes blank, and it the loading screen pops up again [03:13] ok DrMrHorse: I just installed openssh-server - this next part I'm at a lost for [03:13] darolu: np, I appreciate the pointer. [03:13] it keeps cycling though that, without ever taking me to the login screen. How do I fix this? [03:14] cant ad deb http://apt.rigsofrods.com/ in APT. help please. [03:14] wud you break AimlessZealot ? [03:14] altavatar: the real problem is it wasn't a consistent error, some files were fine, others were corrupted [03:14] I appear to have broken Flash's sound. [03:14] darolu: yep, seems about the same here. [03:14] what version of flash AimlessZealot [03:15] Currently I'm running 10.0 r45 [03:15] cant ad deb http://apt.rigsofrods.com/ in APT. help please. any one. [03:15] thats the newest one [03:15] i run chrome for my youtube.. [03:15] I did try 10.1 to see if it was something that would be corrected by using the beta, [03:15] ok AimlessZealot [03:15] No luck. [03:15] mylisto2: ok. in winscp: click "new" add the local ip of the linux box to the "host name" line. enter the user name and the password. click save. click logon. [03:15] what distro are you on AimlessZealot [03:16] Koala [03:16] whoops...sorry [03:16] Karmic Koala [03:16] thanks so much so far DrMrHorse: [03:16] I'm curious [03:16] Karamic has been know to have sound issues AimlessZealot [03:16] pulse audio conflict with alsa [03:16] has anyone tried the new opera 10.5? is it better then chrome? [03:16] can't someone just share a folder between the two? [03:16] So might it be beneficial to switch over to the one before this? [03:16] hai, um i just upgraded to Windows 7 right? and my BIOS wont load my grub [03:16] is it possible to install both the 32 and 64 bit kernels in Ubuntu and choose between them at boot? [03:16] mylisto2: give it a shot. let me know. [03:16] try this AimlessZealot instead of reinstalling that won't help. sudo update-manager -d [03:16] here's the problem: Ubuntu just wont boot. It'll show the loading screen for ubuntu (like the windows XP one, with the little line filling up letting you know the OS is starting up) then the screen goes blank, and it the loading screen pops up again. It keeps cycling though that, without ever taking me to the login screen. How do I fix this? [03:17] I'm running chrome 10.10 now, and it seems to be running fine. [03:17] AimlessZealot, go to Lucid [03:17] cant ad deb http://apt.rigsofrods.com/ in APT. help please. any one. [03:17] Lucid sooooooooo rocks! [03:17] But I only use it for chat here. [03:17] I think its ready [03:17] Hey if I just resized my partition and lost half the data, is there a way to recover it? [03:17] I will try that next, thank you olskolirc. [03:17] DITCH KARMIC [03:17] look: Karmic or Jaunty? [03:17] I think i might of canceled it while it was going [03:17] yw AimlessZealot [03:17] Hunters - I dabbled with it earlier today.. better is a tough one for me. Opera has a more compact display, which I find nice, but not everyone will.

[03:18] !neomuck [03:18] Eire: no, the difference between 32- and 64-bit linux extends beyond just the kernel to libraries and binaries, too [03:18] bottu doesn't know neomuck? [03:18] MilitantPotato: i have one [03:18] Ah, that's another thing I meant to ask -- Is there a good reason to avoid 64-bit linux like there is windows? (Forgive my ignorance) [03:18] !info neomuck [03:18] Package neomuck does not exist in karmic [03:18] Hey if I just resized my partition and lost half the data, is there a way to recover it? [03:18] actually, I just noticed that my sounds do work for flash in firefox...huh [03:18] But is it possible to have both installations on the one harddisk without creating another partition? [03:18] neomuck is a Lucid app [03:19] im learning what this is [03:19] Jleeperry : Insert envy here. [03:19] Please someone answer me [03:19] look: the guide on that website will let you repair you grub2 [03:19] what Purpley [03:19] Hey if I just resized my partition and lost half the data, is there a way to recover it? [03:19] Eire: no, sorry. they'd clobber each other. [03:19] Purpley, that'd depend on how you resized the partition and a bunch of other things. [03:19] meh..I've had lots of problems with it in the past before.. [03:19] But most likely, you can expect it to be lost if you used a half-decent tool. [03:19] like I said though, I just use chrome [03:20] Purpley: in windows you would use recuva. try google it. (file recorverin linux. [03:20] I deleted a truecrypt volume so I extended it and it is a fat32 file system [03:20] !recover | Purpley [03:20] Purpley: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel [03:20] I need someones 'professional' opinion on GDM2. I like the functionality the old one has, and Im considering investigating the possibilities of downgrading. Opinions please? [03:20] well geeze darolu [03:20] here's the problem: Ubuntu just wont boot. It'll show the loading screen for ubuntu (like the windows XP one, with the little line filling up letting you know the OS is starting up) then the screen goes blank, and it the loading screen pops up again. It keeps cycling though that, without ever taking me to the login screen. How do I fix this? [03:20] where can I learn ubottu commands? [03:20] IS there a good chance of recovering data with a fat32 file system? [03:21] Flyzoola: on the grub list (hit escape just after POST if you don't see it) edit the top line, remove quiet and splash, then boot, see if it shows any errors [03:21] does anyone know how to get the window list with a terminal? [03:21] cant ad deb http://apt.rigsofrods.com/ in APT. help please. any one. [03:21] no Purpley [03:21] like on a scale of 1 to 10 how much? [03:21] roll it back maybe Purpley with system restore [03:21] ( [03:21] sorry Purpley [03:22] Purpley: 8 [03:22] It said it was 100% when I Xed out because it stopped responding [03:22] on a scale of 1 - 10 if rolling it back does't help nothing will Purpley [03:22] Guest48357: just download and install the .deb files [03:22] Purpley: if you've not used the hard-drive, a reasionably good chance [03:22] MilitantPotato. can you further explain? Is there any documentation on this? [03:22] But it was never overwritten, I just extended the partition from 105 gigabytes to 236 [03:22] Purpley, you should try Partition Magic for windows - you can undo any damages while partitioning [03:23] Flyzoola: give me two mins, I'll go do it and confirm the key presses [03:23] olskolirc, I prefer linux anyway its fat32 so when I dualbooted awhile I could access it on windows [03:23] I got my free 9.10 disk in the mail today! [03:23] MilitantPotato, thank you :D [03:24] DrMrHorse: the local ip of the linux machine is inet, right? [03:24] Can I just do everything booted up since Im on a seperate partition the one im talking about is just a one where i store all my torrents nothing is writing or reading from it [03:24] sudo apt-get install gpart Purpley [03:25] MilitantPotato: where do i download it from, with wath? [03:25] olskolirc, Uhhhh, Gparted is installed on ubuntu by default? [03:25] mylisto2: yes. [03:25] not on mine it isn't [03:25] gpart Purpley [03:25] Are there any good internal wireless cards that work with Ubuntu [03:26] Guys what are the best parts of ubuntu 9.10? [03:26] The program 'gpart' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: [03:26] sudo apt-get install gpart [03:26] Eire: not what you asked exactly, but the Linksys WUSB600N works great for me as a wireless-N dongle [03:26] MilitantPotato: where do i download it from, with wath? === francis is now known as Guest81668 [03:26] that was my gpart output lol [03:26] Guest48357: just click the .deb files, save to your desktop [03:26] Crap.........I only have a 500 gigabyte HDD and its 200 something gigabytes and the rest is ubuntu what do i do? [03:26] hey anyone know how I can limit what people can view when logged in to my FTP, basically I want them to only be able to view there FTP folder not all my personal ones [03:26] richthegeek: thanks [03:26] Who asked about grub? === Guest81668 is now known as francis5 [03:27] MilitantPotato: where do i find the .dep file? [03:27] Eire: you need to edit a few files and install custom drivers to make it happen, so only for the mildly competent [03:27] Guest48357: go too that URL in firefox, click the .deb files [03:27] AimlessZealot: was it you asking for the specific steps? [03:27] does anyone know how to get the current window list (that shown in the gnome-panel list) from the terminal, or a python script? [03:27] cut your loses Purpley lmao [03:27] Crap.........I only have a 500 gigabyte HDD and its 200 something gigabytes and the rest is ubuntu what do i do? [03:28] when I was new I don't know how many time i wrecked my machine [03:28] I was reformatting every 3 days until i learned the os [03:28] olskolirc, Can it just write on to this partition or will it overwrite it [03:28] MilitantPotato: Are you by chance from Australia? [03:28] Crisco: nah, US [03:28] MilitantPotato : I was the one asking about possible solutions to the no-sound problem with Flash. [03:28] Purpley, if there is any info on there, it will destroy it but you can keep your partition settings [03:28] ah I knew someone who had an addiction to potatoes [03:28] just reformat it Purpley [03:28] MilitantPotato: i must be sleepy. were in firefox? do you meen at the http://apt.rigsofrods.com/ [03:28] MilitantPotato, were you able to confirm the splash screen cycling error, or they key presses? :o [03:28] richthegeek: I am well used to "forcing" things to work in Linux so I should be fine, thank you for your suggestion [03:28] every handle he had was something with Potato in it [03:29] Eire: I'll try find the specific instructions i used for you [03:29] Flyzoola: Hit esape when it says Grub Loading, on the top entry, hit E, scroll down to the line that contains splash and quiet [03:29] olskolirc, Im not formatting my ubuntu HDD, I have even more priceless stuff on this..... [03:29] well ubuntu partition [03:29] Eire: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1132275.html [03:29] Flyzoola: ONLY remove the two words splash, and quiet, the boot with ctrl+x [03:29] richthegeek: thanks [03:29] Anybody ever tried to get a Lexmark X215 MFP to work on Ubuntu 8.10? I searched google all day today and am at the end of my wits.... [03:30] MilitantPotato: will it work even if I'm dualbooting XP? [03:30] Flyzoola: that will hide the loading screen, and show everything that is happening, hopefully you'll see the error [03:30] Flyzoola: Does ubuntu or XP load by default? [03:30] Guest48357: Yes, go to that url, download the .deb files [03:30] MilitantPotato: Well the PC had XP installed, I just installed Ubuntu on it about an hour ago, and got that error on the splash screen.

[03:31] What do you mean upgrade? [03:31] go from Karamic to Lucid with: sudo update-manager -d [03:31] anyone can help me with FTP server permissions please? [03:31] Flyzoola: which version of Ubuntu and which error? Sorry I wasn't in here when you said it. [03:32] Flyzoola: removing splash and quiet will show what the OS is doing as it loads, you may get to see what error is causing it not to load. (Ubuntu at least.) If Windows is the one having issues, I'm not sure. [03:32] Guest48357: Never install .deb or any application you're not sure is 100% safe, by the way. [03:32] olskolirc, I dont uprage until its officaly out of a beta [03:33] MilitantPotato: no, like I said, the splash screen just cycles. It'll act like It's gonna take me to the login screen, then it just goes black, and the splash screen loads again. I let it do that for about 5 minutes, without it taking me to login. I'm on 9.10 [03:33] Flyzoola: then do the steps I said, and you'll likely see the error [03:33] i upgrade to 9.04 to 9.10 now, graphic card not working [03:33] me either Purpley as a rule but I took a chance b/c of the Karamic sound issues and I think Lucid is ready to rocks [03:33] Flyzoola: that will tell you where to start, ok? [03:34] I have no problems, no crashes, no errors and ive been on since last night [03:34] is there any way to add some thing in menu.lst and fix it? [03:34] MilitantPotato: Sounds good. I'll report back when I have the data needed. Hopefully from there it can be fixed. Thank you! [03:34] hesh: ctrl+alt+f1, login, run sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [03:34] Well I dont have any problems with karmic and It may seem great but I dont trust it until ubuntu offically says its good to use [03:34] im on Kubuntu Purpley - the new gnome is gnome-shell which allows you to download that with the Karamic you are on [03:34] DrMrHorse: do I need to generate a key with puttygen? [03:34] Flyzoola: It doesn't save the changes you make, so if you nerf your grub, just reboot [03:35] youtube for gnome-shell Purpley and see how you like that :-) [03:35] If someone wants to request that a package be made available for some software, who could they ask? [03:35] mylisto2: i dont remember. i think it did it automatically and i just had to approve it [03:35] How do i figure out what partition table type I have? [03:36] the maintainer of that package ekimmargni [03:36] ekimmargni: you mean to get the package in the repos? or to package it? or what?

How can I install vbox without qt libraries? I [03:38] Does anyone know? [03:39] Carbon_Monoxide: try enabling backports and see if the updated qt libraries are there? [03:39] Purpley: I don't understand your question [03:40] MilitantPotato: are those packages from backports stable? [03:40] Im running testdisk and its asking me what partition table type it is, Its filesystem is FAT32 so what table type is it?

Likely not as stable, or at least not tested as thoroughly [03:42] MilitantPotato: installed .deb files. what next? followed the tutorial with no luck. [03:42] Carbon_Monoxide: If a package requires a certain version as a dependency, I'm guessing you need to meet that requirement [03:42] when i upgrade to 9.10 stop my graphic drivers, how to fix it? [03:43] how i could change the splash screen to ubuntu 9.04 [03:43] MilitantPotato: So, I dare not to use them on server :) Maybe I should use previous version vbox [03:43] Guest48357: I don't know, you asked how to install those files, that's all I could help with. [03:43] Carbon_Monoxide: You could always compare them to debian stable/unstable versions, and see [03:43] MilitantPotato: okay thanx. [03:44] Carbon_Monoxide: Debian doesn't mess around labeling things stable afaik [03:44] what am I missing ?? http://pastebin.ca/1822228 [03:44] knoxi, try GDM2 Setup?

Though I dont have it partitioned, I think there's a way to partition a couple of gigs towards ubuntu, no? [03:59] DcMeese: type in uname -a [03:59] darolu: No. I have no system sounds enabled.

[04:00] aside from conky [04:00] seanbrystone: I believe Ubuntu Remote Desktop is called vinagre and vino, client and server respectively. Uninstalling those two should get rid of it, then install what you want.

I've done it in other computers with no problem.. :o [04:01] Losha: So that would not disable the possibility to listen, just takes away all config for system sounds, right? [04:01] Flyzoola: Only loss of everything on that partition [04:01] MilitantPotato: Karmic [04:02] OttifantSir: shouldn't affect 'listening' at all. It just removes the sound files that things play when they want to make a noise... [04:02] DcMeese: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2#Theming [04:02] OttifantSir: apparently, you can gksu /etc/gdm/custom.conf and under the [greeter] section add the line SoundOnLogin=false [04:02] lukeqsee: you can display any sort of text on the desktop you want with conky [04:02] OttifantSir: whoops, gksu gedit /etc/gdm/custom.conf [04:02] enjoytheday: if it's hardware raid it should be fine then..it should just show up as a single disk [04:03] Hi!

[04:24] tp43: Adblock, NoScript, LastPass, LinkExtend, Download Statusbar, Extended Statusbar, Video Download Helper, a few others, total numbering 20 and about 20 search plugins for the search field [04:24] lat, maybe you don't have enought space [04:25] OttifantSir: (also, purging and reinstalling firefox shouldn't touch your firefox profile, which is stored in your user directory: ~/.mozilla/firefox/.default/ [04:25] ActionParsnip: Ain't got more than 1GB RAM, but a rather fast cable-line [04:25] OttifantSir: doesnt that kick your ram lots when you load the already bloated browser? [04:25] OttifantSir: How long does firefox take to load for ya? [04:25] OttifantSir, well, I would go with the command line suggestion, and check the errors, to find you problem [04:25] brjann: No, I haven't tried running it from CLI yet. Will try it now and see what happens [04:25] tp43, there are over 200 gb of free space. [04:25] What is the contextual applicatiom menu? [04:26] perscitus: the menu brought up by a right-click, maybe? never heard that term before [04:26] MilitantPotato: On a clean boot (no other apps started or run before Firefox) it usually takes about 20 secs. [04:26] lat, hmmm, do you have any more details of the error reported? [04:26] brjann, its commonly used for another WM [04:26] ActionParsnip & MilitantPotato it keeps trying to add something cuz the bar wiggled, but nothing gets added === marcio_BR is now known as dreamcage [04:27] perscitus: ah, okay. nothing i'm familiar with, then :) [04:27] My Firefox, when started from CLI spits out this: (firefox-bin:3260): GLib-WARNING **: g_set_prgname() called multiple times [04:27] DcMeese: get connected then install wicd, it will remove network manager for you and then reboot, wicd may be the ticket for you [04:27] OttifantSir: sadly, that's normal [04:27] tp43, cp: reading `{3f67b927-3dd7-4abb-0a8b-2500374155eb}.vdi': Input/output error [04:27] firefox stinks [04:28] ActionParsnip how do u get connected? That's what I'm trying to do [04:28] DcMeese: use wired or the command line to get connected [04:28] brjann: It's a Pentium DC 1.66GHz 1GB RAM, so I'm quite happy with load times on this machine [04:28] brjann, fluxbox uses it [04:28] lat, sorry, I don't know, maybe you cable is loose? [04:28] OttifantSir: does it return to the prompt? or does it just sit there without firefox ever showing up? [04:28] i'm a student who has to do a lot of reading, primarily of pdfs. on windows, i used foxit. the default reader on 9.10 is evince, which doesn't have tabs. are there any recommended readers that have tabs, and other nice features for my situation (session restore, library management, &c)? [04:29] brjann: It returns to the prompt after that error [04:29] ActionParsnip: I have to use wifi... Only option [04:29] hi is there any issues that may arise out of having ntfs filesystem as /home? [04:29] OttifantSir: type echo $? at the prompt [04:29] Hows it going everyone [04:30] pretty good thx [04:30] brjann: All it says is "1" then returns to prompt [04:30] DcMeese: then use iwconfig, you can also use the installation cd to install wicd [04:31] OttifantSir: that's what I wanted to know. that "1" means firefox is exiting with an error, though why it isn't reporting that error is a mystery to me [04:31] does anyone know how I can set a margin offset when printing a pdf file [04:31] ? [04:31] OttifantSir: looks like 3.6.2pre isn't ready for prime-time.... [04:32] OttifantSir: let's try one more thing, to see if it's your profile or firefox that's jacked up [04:32] Losha: could try 3.7 or chromium ;) [04:32] OttifantSir: ls ~/.mozilla/firefox/ [04:32] paulproteus: thanks. now i a,m installing the beta game. [04:32] (-: [04:32] Losha: Of course it's not, it's a pre-release version. But I wanted something newer, and the PPA mozilla-daily-builds gave me this. [04:32] OttifantSir: you'll see a directory in there with a bunch of random letters/numbers and .default at the end [04:32] OttifantSir: I use 3.6 stable [04:33] What are the rumored upgrades for firefox 4? [04:34] OttifantSir: wait, this is a nightly? heh, those aren't even guaranteed to run at *all.* [04:34] nocturnus: try going to scale PDF file in the page setup dialog [04:34] brjann: just rename ~/.mozilla and you wil cover all [04:34] ActionParsnip: How do Install stuff from disk? [04:34] ActionParsnip: hm, good point [04:34] OttifantSir: well now you can 'give back' by filing a bug report I guess... [04:34] DcMeese: add the cdrom under system -> admin -> software sources (if memory serves) [04:35] DcMeese: you can then have your install cd in and install the app from that [04:35] ActionParsnip: wait, but what if he uses thunderbird or something? isn't that stored in .mozilla too? [04:35] Losha: Seems like that would be a good idea, yeah. Just hoped there was something I could do to get it working. [04:35] Chill6: how? [04:35] brjann: i think so, i dont use either [04:35] Chill6: command line [04:35] DcMeese: if you go to software sources there's an install from cd option [04:36] DcMeese: do you see access points if you run: sudo iwlist scan ? [04:36] brjann: And I use Thunderbird too. [04:36] brjann: ahh, then renaming the mozilla folder is bad [04:36] OttifantSir: running a pre-release and trying to debug it here on #ubuntu seems like a monumental waste of effort... === JEEBcz is now known as JEEB [04:36] brjann: but will be ok to just test [04:36] OttifantSir: i'm tempted to agree with Losha, i wasn't aware this was a nightly [04:37] ActionParsnip: It says unmounting [04:37] Cdrom [04:37] tp43, thanks for your help. I'm going to reboot now, and try again. [04:37] Losha: I was just hoping it was something like with 3.5: running "firefox" started 3.0 and you needed to run "firefox-3.5" to start the newer version [04:37] DcMeese: seems wrong there. [04:38] OttifantSir: either way, it's off-topic for this group. Perhaps try #firefox [04:38] OttifantSir: /usr/bin/firefox is just a symlink to /usr/bin/firefox-3.0 [04:38] OttifantSir: from the command line you can run firefox -ProfileManager and see if it will let you create a new, empty profile to test with. if it works, something's wrong with your profile. if not, something's wrong with the nightly. that's about all we can do, i think. [04:38] hey. is it possible to generate a grub2 config file using the ubuntu livecd? [04:38] OttifantSir: you can delete the /usr/bin/firefox file and make a new symlink to /usr/bin/firefox-3.whatever [04:38] I clicked add CDROM in software sources>>other software, ActionParsnip [04:38] touchscreen netbook will not load apps from touch menu except for favourites and folders, please advise [04:38] I'm considering using Jaunty Jackalope (9.04) instead of Karmic Koala (9.10), anyone have any thoughts? [04:38] AimlessZealot: why? [04:39] Others have made that "Upgrade" [04:39] AimlessZealot: both are supported so go for it [04:39] AimlessZealot: why? 8.04 vs 9.10 might make sense... [04:39] Adamkex: because KK has sound problems for me. [04:39] AimlessZealot: ? [04:39] hi [04:39] AimlessZealot: KK ?\ [04:39] Karmic Koala [04:39] Karmic Koala = KK [04:40] * Losha slaps head and says d'oh [04:40] I've been struggling all day to make Flash videos produce sound again (they did originally), I have seen no solutions or options to fix things, and someone here mentioned that KK appears to have various sound issues. [04:40] touchscreen netbook will not load apps from touch menu when touching, except for favourites and folders, please advise [04:40] when I try to run update-grub2 I get "grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /." probably because i'm using a livecd. is it possible to bypass the error and continue? [04:40] Jaunty Jackalope was more stable than Idiota Indianna [04:40] brjann: ActionParsnip: Losha: It seems like it's spitting out that error no matter what, but it seems like I may have done something bad to my first profile, 'cause it started on a fresh profile. [04:40] tp43: ? still getting grub error 15 ? [04:40] how come I can't install Xubuntu 9.10 ? [04:41] brjann: good catch... [04:41] grub 1.5 error 15 [04:41] I've tried ext3 and ext4 [04:41] anom01y, shit, did you change partitioning? [04:41] Losha: has happened to me before. troubleshooting profile errors is tricky :( [04:41] tp43: ? [04:42] anom01y, hey, I just remembered, I had the grub error when I tried ext4, but when I went back to ext3 I had no problems [04:42] what do you mean ? [04:42] ohh [04:42] yeah I tried that I am trying ext3 now, [04:42] Holy shit, it shouldn't be this difficult to install a "Production" operating system [04:42] I selected mount to '/' and format. [04:42] !language [04:42] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [04:43] anyone know how to install ubuntu ? [04:43] LOLOL [04:43] what happens ? [04:43] THATS THE BEST [04:43] MilitantPotato: How would I install software from 9.10 disk? [04:43] anom01y, I don't know if this is good idea, but usually I make '/' at about 10gig, and a swap about the size of my ram, and then I make the rest /home cause I downloads lots of movies [04:43] <`mOOse`> default [04:43] default: please don't use the word "production" here to help keep this channel family friendly. [04:43] <`mOOse`> default: http://imgur.com/7EilX.jpg [04:43] trying to use Ubuntu One ... getting this error in FF : Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:38017. [04:43] LOLOLOL [04:44] Quote of the day.... anyone know how to install ubuntu ? [04:44] adrian2mil10: I just try and use the installer [04:44] well it doesnt work [04:44] default, `mOOse`: please help keep this channel ontopic, thanks. [04:44] tp43: same here, though I double the RAM space for swap because I'm old-fashioned... [04:44] I select 'select manual partition' [04:44] what thing not work ? [04:44] anom01y: Any reason you're manually partitioning? [04:44] My /boot/grub/ directory got erased and i was able to rebuild it with my livecd, but I need to create the grub.cfg. How would I do this on a liveCD? [04:44] <`mOOse`> Flannel sorry - that was supposed to be a /msg [04:44] adrian2mil10: not sure but I get error 15 [04:45] Flannel: I am using the installer, and it asks to select manual partition, underneat 'use entire disk' [04:45] Losha, I used to, but so much swap isn't need these days cause of the size of ram. [04:45] ActionParsnip: Any chance you have the ~/.asoundrc files left over from an upgrade? [04:45] when you make what is the error ? [04:45] anom01y: Why are you manually partitioning instead of automatically partitioning? [04:45] adrian2mil10: I reboot and try and boot from the install and I get grub error 15 [04:45] g44imbisilly: grub.cfg is remade automatically by running update-grub I seem to recall... [04:45] how do i fix touchscreen preferences for UNR menu, apps won't open unless their in favourites [04:46] can you be logged into Ubuntu One from two different places at the same time? [04:46] Losha: i'm doing this off a liveCD so doing that runs into problems [04:46] Flannel: because I tried the 'use entire disk' feature from the installer, (made my disk an ext4, and also gave me error 15 at reboot (grub error)) [04:46] tp43: that's what they say. I've never understood the reasoning behind it though... [04:46] only ubuntu is in the partition ? there is only one partition ? [04:46] anom01y: Default is ext4, yes. How many harddrives do you have? [04:46] !grub2 | anything here that helps? [04:46] anything here that helps?: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [04:46] within the installer I get 3 options for selecting the partition to use, a) install dual boot, b) use entire disk, or c) select partitions manually [04:47] Flannel: 4 [04:47] hello all. found a strange problem. ubuntu koala... inside seamonkey and firefox... my website, www.bymtrust.net.nz/acquia (acquia drupal) crashes(i think? or resets?) x11.... i think its images.. as if i turn images off, it works. if i turn them on, a few seconds later, loading them... it crashes. [04:47] anom01y: alright. Are they mixed SATa/PATA? [04:47] anom01y, use the entire disk, or are you planning on multiple OS's? [04:47] Flannel: I have 2 ide's and 2 satas [04:47] any ideas why this might be happening? [04:47] tp43: no just Ubuntu [04:48] Flannel: the install is going on an IDE (sda1) [04:48] did you install grub to master boot record? [04:48] anom01y: That's likely the issue. What's happening is they're being reordered by your BIOS (or Linux) and its looking at the wrong one for GRUB. [04:48] tp43: thats in the advanced section near the end [04:48] ? [04:48] Flannel: [04:48] ok [04:48] how do i fix touchscreen preferences for UNR menu, apps won't open unless their in favourites [04:48] MilitantPotato: I did a clean A3 install dude [04:48] Genji, none of the links on your site are working here [04:49] you have 2 ide and 2 sata , maybe you install grub in the wrong disk , check sure the disk boot order [04:49] Flannel: solution ? === zz_FeiRuoWa is now known as FeiRuoWa [04:49] ok [04:49] I will try again [04:49] eh... go http://www.bymtrust.net.nz then click on a link [04:49] 4th time [04:49] crossing fingers [04:50] what does it mean in a cron entry when it begins with [ -x command.sh ] ? [04:50] anom01y, probably Flannel has a better solution, but you could unplug all but one drive, and then install on it, and add the others manually after install [04:50] what is the -x ? [04:50] anom01y: Did you have any other Linuxes installed prior to this? [04:50] do not lose hope [04:50] yes [04:50] Genji, this is what I get http://dl.dropbox.com/u/132551/Screenshot-Beyond%20the%20Boxes%20%7C%20-%20Mozilla%20Firefox.png [04:50] hope is all you ever need [04:51] DiploCat: I'm rusty at this, but I think it means "FILE exists and execute (or search) permission is granted" [04:51] anom01y: Alright, what it *might* be is their GRUB is the one you're getting to, and it's looking for an old stage2, and not finding it. [04:51] DiploCat: that's a test to exist that command.sh exists [04:51] (gah, i can't speak english tonight.) [04:51] anom01y: Make sure GRUB from the Ubuntu installer is installing to the proper drive, and make sure your BIOS is set to boot to that drive [04:51] ok, I think that option was in the installer [04:51] Any help with this: [AO OSS] audio_setup: Can't open audio device /dev/dsp: Device or resource busy ? [04:52] anom01y: Yeah, it'll be at the end [04:52] anom01y, delete all partitions and then repartition [04:52] coz_: yah... hmm... go to http://www.bymtrust.net.nz/acquia/content/starflower-gardens [04:52] maybe is a good idea disconnect the disk what you don't need meanwhile installl [04:52] magn3ts, do you have sound? [04:52] so brjann and Losha, it's cron syntax (ie. doesn't work in a shell), and what does it do if it doesn't exist? throws an error? [04:52] ActionParsnip: I'm unmounting disk, u [04:52] Said that doesn't sound right? [04:52] Genji, I see that [04:52] DiploCat: er, it's shell syntax, invoked by cron... [04:53] tp43, yep that only happens with mplayer, sorry I shouldve been more specific [04:53] ActionParsnip: Guess you've been on google yea? common issues are ~/.macromedia [04:53] not being owned by your user, and asoundconf not having the right card set to default, good luck though, heaps of other reasons [04:53] DiploCat: no, that would in fact work in a shell. and no, it wouldn't necessarily report an error, it depends on what the rest of the cron command is [04:53] magn3ts, if sound works, than you are golden [04:53] I just installed Rails with Gem, but I can' [04:53] Don't remind me Potato, I'm so sick of flash problems today. [04:53] magn3ts, sorry "then" [04:53] im a newbie from indonesia [04:53] Losha, oh... ok, but why do you need to check if it exists? won't it just error if it doesn't exist? [04:54] I just installed Rails with Gem, but when I type rails, it returns command not found, what's the solution to this? [04:54] indonesia is currently being spotted as the enemy of capitalism [04:54] Hey! [04:54] tp43, er, I meant I have sound in my system [04:54] tp43, mplayer definitely has no sound [04:54] because indonesia is making campaign of using opensource softwares [04:54] please help us [04:54] DiploCat: like brjann says, it depends what the rest of the script says... [04:54] magn3ts, man mplayer, and find there is an option that will make it less verbose [04:54] yeah [04:54] a lot of peopel're doing that [04:54] co25mkemang: This channel is for Ubuntu support. Non-support topics should be directed towards #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks. [04:54] co25mkemang, this is not the appropriate channel for that [04:54] coz_: navigating around the site doesn't crash your ubuntu koala firefox x11? [04:54] hmm... ok, thanks guys... I appreciate it [04:54] magn3ts, oh, you know what, you gotta open alsamixer and turn up the volume probably [04:55] \exit [04:55] Genji, no it doesnt but as I said I cannot get to the links by clicking them... but when you post the link it opens [04:55] I made a network on one computer, but when other computers try to access the share it asks for a password - my normal computer password isn't working - any ideas? [04:55] i'm a student who has to do a lot of reading, primarily of pdfs. on windows, i used foxit. the default reader on 9.10 is evince, which doesn't have tabs. are there any recommended readers that have tabs, and other nice features for my situation (session restore, library management, &c)?

[04:56] magn3ts, maybe you are right, but it happen to me before [04:56] tp43, I checked, the volume is at an appropriate level [04:56] Genji, apparenly not [04:56] StrangeCharm: isn't there a foxit reader for linux? [04:56] StrangeCharm: There likely is. However if no one knows, you can use foxit: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Foxit [04:57] so i clicked on the date and time on my bar up top, now both top and bottom bars are unresponsive [04:57] what do i do :p [04:57] yes [04:57] coz_: both of them don't work? [04:57] magn3ts, hmmm, check ps command and see what media program is hanging. It is wierd for sound to not work these days. [04:57] Would this work for a hardlink?? ln IP:/path/file ~/file [04:57] Genji, not here no but I am a bit distracted so I may not be the best to test this for you [04:57] StrangeCharm: you can get a list of readers by doing "apt-cache search pdf | egrep -i viewer" Dunno if any of them are tabbed.... [04:57] tp43, none, I checked lsof | grep /dev/dsp and nothing shows up [04:58] magn3ts, whats, do you see any thing like snd when you do lsmod?

[04:59] pain in the ass [04:59] anyone know if I should use EXT3 or EXT4 ? [04:59] Losha, it has been almost ten years since I last had to run sndconfig or anything like that. the most I've had to do is turn up the volume [04:59] what is better and why ?

You probably won't notice a difference if you have to ask. (I use ext4 on most systems, though) [05:00] tp43: stick around this channel a while. Other people haven't been so lucky... [05:00] Hi. I'm running Karmic, and am trying to get a joystick to work. After some searching, I found out that reverting to the 2.6.28-14 kernel would "fix" the problem, but I can't find that kernel in the karmic repository. Can someone help me revert back to 2.6.28-14, please? TIA [05:00] it's an issue with ubuntu [05:00] anom01y: I use it and am happy with it. Some say it is not as stable. [05:00] thanks guys, its already using ext4 [05:00] (er installing to ext4, so thats good) [05:01] tp43, ... its only when something is using the sound device [05:01] didn't want to reinstall as ext3 [05:01] which is what mplayer is claiming is the problem [05:01] anom01y: But I have yet to experience a failure. [05:01] so i clicked on the date and time on my bar up top, now both top and bottom bars are unresponsive.... something i can do to restart them ? [05:01] magn3ts, yeah, thats what I mean, I have a movie playing and I run that command, and I get nothing [05:01] anom01y, unless you are a hard power user you probably would never notice the difference [05:01] exit [05:01] anom01y: I would use ext3 as it's compatible with pretty much any linux system, including various 3rd party recovery tools... [05:01] tp43, :/ [05:01] te_, the only case in which it could be unstable is if your system crashes hard while writing to disk. [05:01] Paine: CTRL_ALT_BACKSPACE [05:01] haha..whoops, not terminal [05:01] magn3ts, do you have any media, try to play it [05:02] Red_HamsterX: Thans for that bit of info.. [05:02] PwrSurge: not doing anything [05:02] And, even then, the filesystem itself would be fine. It would just run the risk of *maybe* corrupting the file it was working on.

[05:03] tp43, I'm watching a movie in vlc right now, I tried it in mplayer first and there was no sound :( [05:03] i have to type this command: export PATH=/var/lib/gems/1.9.1/bin:$PATH [05:03] everytime [05:03] i boot up [05:03] kris_: Don't tell me to RTFM, if I hadn't been doing this for an hour I wouldn't be on here. [05:03] Is there anyway around this? [05:03] magn3ts, it works? [05:04] tp43, in VLC yeah, but I want mplayer to work because it uses my hardware acceleration [05:04] Jon-: Sorry, working on getting my own problem solved, so I didn't have too much time. Still, I figured that it might help. [05:04] CTRL_ALT_BACKSPACE not eneable by default in karmic [05:04] Jon-: Hmm. Have you just copying and pasting any of the sample configs? [05:05] how do I come out of gnome-shell and get back to gnome [05:05] magn3ts, mplayer doesn't install so good on Ubuntu, I am not sure what I did wrong, in Debian it works fine and vlc isn't so great, but on Ubuntu, vlc works great, and mplayer is not so good. But I have sound in mplayer. Do you know how to turn up the volume in mplayer it is the ) key [05:05] olskolirc, what do you mean by 'gnome-shell'? [05:05] adrian2mill0: so how do i get the top and bottom bars in ubuntu to start responding again [05:05] Losha, his sounds works fine, it was mplayer giving him problems [05:06] tp43, I built it myself, scrolling up in mplayer increases the volume and I know its set reasonably as well :{ [05:06] Paine > if CTRL_ALT_BACKSPACE not enable , try CTRL_ALT_F1 log in the console and kill gdm [05:06] tp43: how odd. I use mplayer for pretty much everything (except dvd menus)... [05:07] :( I wish my mplayer worked :( [05:07] Losha, I think when I installed it I got carried awayed and installed too much [05:07] Looking for someone who could help me to revert back to the 2.6.28-14 kernel on karmic, please. TIA [05:07] magn3ts: try install gnome-mplayer [05:07] magn3ts, did you try the ( ) keys for adjusting volume? [05:07] kris_: Sample configs? [05:07] Red_HamsterX, you can download gnome-shell its a new gnome window manager: sudo apt-get install gnome-shell [05:07] why ? [05:07] just came out [05:07] ActionParsnip, I don't want to. [05:07] fivetwentysix: PATH="$PATH:/var/lib/gems/1.9.1/bin [05:07] how do I come out of gnome-shell and get back to gnome [05:08] magn3ts: k [05:08] ActionParsnip, I need it built from scratch for hardware acceleration, otherwise I would use VLC. [05:08] fivetwentysix: PATH="$PATH:/var/lib/gems/1.9.1/bin" [05:08] 2.6.31 work fine ? [05:08] adrian2mil10: Long story, basically: trying to get a joystick to work. Google searching says that the problem I'm having came up in 2.6.28-15 and has been present ever since. === mister_roboto__ is now known as mister_roboto [05:09] what lsb you have ? [05:09] Jon-: Ya. Should be very basic ones on Samba website. It might be that you have too many features enabled. Try using a default one first, and then adding options on top of it? [05:09] adrian2mil10: lsb? [05:09] magn3ts: is there not a ppa with it already done? vlc uses noly one core btw ;) [05:09] I don't follow. [05:09] Hey guys .... i installed ubuntu succesfully , how can i change to GDM ? [05:09] Is there ANY download manager for Linux that integrates into Firefox? [05:09] hardy , jaunty , karmic ? [05:09] ActionParsnip, I just installed it, thanks, dunno why I never knew about it before [05:09] cobra-the-joker: gdm is the default in ubuntu [05:09] Karmic. [05:09] cobra-the-joker: GDM? GDM is installed by default [05:10] ActionParsnip, heh, the mplayer in the vdpau ppa (which is where the driver and extension comes from) is actually borked :( [05:10] damm it [05:10] magn3ts: lame [05:10] i was having xubuntu and installed ubuntu on it ( ubuntu-desktop ) ...so i still have xubuntu boot and login ...can i change it to ubuntu's ? [05:10] I was using smplayer, its pretty nice [05:10] te_, how do I make that permanent? [05:10] magn3ts: i use that ppa myself but i havent used mlayer in ages [05:10] you try with the last kernel 2.6.31-19 ? [05:10] hi [05:10] cobra-the-joker: try: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm [05:10] I tried a few weeks ago. Lemme double check. [05:10] kris_: Only issue now is XP says printer driver is not correct, but it doesn't have HP Deskjet F4100 series driver listed? I know there is one, I had it using the same printer when my ubuntu box was win2000. Ideas? [05:11] fivetwentysix: If you use the command I gave you, it should make the addition to path permenant [05:11] Jon-: One sec... [05:11] ActionParsnip, theres patches for VLC but they're rather old and well :/ I'm lazy [05:11] cobra-the-joker: Ah, yes. Install ubuntu-gdm-themes [05:11] Jon-: you'll need to install the driver in xp t talk to the printer installed under ubuntu [05:12] adrian2mill0: lol so i hit ctrl-alt-f1 and had no idea how to get back into the GUI [05:12] te_, i just type that in terminal? [05:12] i think what you problem is with the modules not the kenel [05:12] Jon-: What he said. [05:12] *permanent [05:12] Ok. [05:12] Still working at it. [05:12] adrian2mill0: so just in case i ever have to do that again, how do i go about coming back to the GUI ? [05:12] CTRL_ALT_F7 [05:13] fivetwentysix: Yes, (by which ever user is appropriate). [05:13] adrian2mil10: Ok. No joy. [05:13] adrian2mill0: lol k. i was spamming all kinds of cntrl-alt - F keys and just kept opening new windows :p [05:14] you restart gdm ? [05:14] test [05:15] adrian2mill0: i had to restart the whole system cause i didnt know how to get back from the full black screen [05:16] ActionParsnip, do you think you would be able to help me uninstlal the mplayer that I built and "sudo make install"ed? [05:16] Paine, you hit alt+f7 [05:16] you are in the console yet ?? [05:16] tp43: thanks :P that was the first thing i asked when i got back [05:17] adrianmill0: does the terminal in the GUI work ? [05:17] Paine, thats a cool feature eh, the consoles [05:17] adrianmill0: i have it open currently [05:17] restart better option , make a sudo shutdown -r now [05:17] qqq/quit] [05:18] tp43: im a windows boy, so this is all really new to me heh [05:18] how do I replace my window decorator in gnome please? I have no decorator [05:18] magn3ts, maybe there is directions in the install directory? [05:19] Paine you were a windows boy, now you are an Ubuntu free man, how does it feel, to be freed of slavery? [05:19] kris_: Where the hell do I get the driver? HP only has one for non-networked printers and it's not included in list of drivers from Windows. [05:20] Jon-: What's the name of your printer again? [05:20] why you think what he not feel free in windows ? [05:20] hello [05:20] never mind, I got it [05:20] kris_: After installing the driver, it still says the driver from the ubuntu server is wrong, and then prompts to pick a driver. I just need the friking cab file. Sigh. [05:20] tp43: ha it will feel great when i get some sort of a grasp on it all.... [05:20] Those MS fackers have their systems built with thousands of backdoors [05:20] hello [05:20] kris_: HP All-in-one Deskjet F4180 [05:20] Jon-: Have you tried the box that it came in? [05:21] kris_: I have no fucking idea where it is, and again, that'd be a software CD when it [05:21] Ok. Download the non-networked driver for that printer from the HP website. [05:21] kris_: done and intalled [05:21] Paine, what grasp, you are not learning King fu here, it is just a computer, all I do is click firefox, type in porn in google, and bang, masterbation [05:21] Still problems? [05:21] I have no window borders and I cannot see the display of my xterminal!! nvidia card just happened upon boot... after kernel update awhile back -- any suggestions ? how do i repair this? [05:21] Does anyone know how I can move the location bar beside the back/forward buttons in nautilus? I've looked at the files in /usr/share/nautilus/ui but there's no reference to the location bar; just the toolbar. [05:21] Jon-: Also, please use more respectful language. [05:22] kris_: I browse to the printer, windows says that the driver from the remote printer is wrong, brings me to the list of drivers again that came with xp [all outdated ofc], or otherwise looks for a disc with the .cab file [05:22] you can reboot ?? [05:22] tp43: also my first day using IRC.....as long as no one talks me into a sudo rm -rf / ill be ok [05:23] Flannel, problem solved. I unplugged all my HD's except the primary, [05:23] Jon-: Ok. Sounds like the Ubuntu server is serving up the driver, and the Windows machine isn't liking it for some reason. I am at a loss. [05:23] then ran the installer [05:23] !danger | Paine [05:23] adrian2mill0: i did reboot [05:23] Paine: DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! [05:23] Jon-: Try #samba. [05:23] I the last update after a reboot my ubuntu doesn't shows the login, there is a log file here http://paste.ubuntu.com/388059/ [05:23] Paine: Please don't throw those sorts of things around. [05:23] sry every1 [05:24] Hi. Can someone tell me why the new default theme moved the window controls to top-left? [05:24] sjuxax: Lucid discussion in #ubuntu+1, not here. [05:24] tp43: the biggest thing for me is installing new things [05:24] kris_: Solved, the driver was placed under Hewlett-Packard in the list as opposed to HP, where all the other drivers were. [05:24] adrian2mil10: Looks like you're getting busy. Are you still available to help please, or too overwhelmed? :-) [05:24] tp43: rather that just double clicking on an exe [05:24] I have trouble getting my projector at school to transmit the screen [05:24] Jon-: Lol. Windows! :-P [05:24] on the wall [05:24] rww: lol, ok [05:24] is there something special I should do [05:24] ? [05:25] Paine, you know whats cool, cairo-dock, sudo apt-get install cairo-dock, it is like the mac style of launcher, and also, you can turn on compiz, then you get wobbly windows and other effects. Not only that, I have it set up so when I click the left side of the screen it zooms out all windows, and when I click the right side, I can scrool through all open windows. Its sweet, I don't ever need the panel onscreen, so I keep set to autohide [05:25] what happens [05:25] Paine, you can use add/remove programs, except, instead of downloading programs from unscrupulous vendours, they are all there for you to just check off from sage and secure sources [05:25] hi there! i am not getting the maximise and minimizebuttons on my windows... an someone help me plz? [05:26] kris_: That was the HP install that put it there, they chose the vendor label when they installed the driver. Bash less pl0z ;D. Thanks [05:26] tp43: is there a way to search through all the stuff available in apt-get ? [05:26] adrian2mil10: dmesg recognizes that the joystick is plugged in, but jscal doesn't show any movement. [05:26] Jon-: :-) Your welcome. Enjoy! [05:26] Paine, apt-cache search whatever, but you can scrool through them in add/remove programs [05:27] That's on .31-19. [05:27] tp43: you mean the ubuntu software center ? [05:27] mv ~/* /dev/null [05:27] tp43: i dont think i have an add/remove programs [05:27] Bah! [05:27] Paine, yup, my bad, also there is synaptic package manager, which is same thing. And then you can do apt-cache search [05:27] adrian2mil10: Don't delete his brain! [05:28] Why are my aliases not saving when i restart ? [05:28] you have a usb joystick ? [05:28] adrian2mil10: Yep. [05:28] Paine, what aliases, you are more advanced than me it seems [05:29] adrian2mil10: Saitek X52. Google it, and you'll see what I was talking about with 2.6.28-14. [05:29] Paine, put then in ~/.bashrc [05:29] you make a google search for you joystick model and ubuntu ? === rainofkayos is now known as SolarisBoy [05:30] adrian2mil10: Ya. [05:30] hello! i'm having trouble with transmission... it locks up whenever a torrent is run, then uses 98% cpu and won't die!!! [05:30] wcGary83: try rtorrent [05:30] kris and you have 2.6.28-14. installed ?? [05:30] aliases are used so you can shorten terminal commands [05:30] adrian2mil10: I found someone on patchwork.kernel.org that said that the problem is that the joystick has too many buttons, and they somehow fall out of the range of some constant. [05:30] joining [05:31] blakkheim: i'm about to! [05:31] adrian2mil10: Throws the whole thing off. But it was working apparently in -14. [05:31] Andre_Gondim i dont have a bashrc ? or do i need to create one ? [05:31] Paine, there are many example at ~/.bashrc to copy it [05:31] Paine, you have, but is hide file [05:31] Paine, in your home folder do ls -la [05:32] kris what kernel you have now ?? [05:32] adrian2mil10: 2.6.31-19 [05:32] it just started, could it be an update? (transmission itself didn't update today...) [05:32] ah i see it [05:32] kris and you try with backport modules [05:33] adrian2mil10: Not sure what you mean there. [05:33] also, why the hell doesn't a program completely uninstall? (even if using synaptic complete removal!) I reinstall, and all the torrents are still listed! [05:33] hi there! i am not getting the maximise and minimizebuttons on my windows... an someone help me plz? [05:33] Andre_Gondom: ok i found it... how do i put the aliases in there so they save when i restart [05:34] abhifx: have you tried to restart the computer [05:34] abhifx, did you turn on compiz recently, or compositing [05:34] add them to your .bashrc file [05:34] adrian2mil10: You mean install linux-image-2.6.29-14 from backport modules? [05:34] adrian2mil10: That's what I don't know how to do. [05:34] tp43, i turned off the compiz recently though [05:34] mtx_init it's a big file is there a specific place i should be adding them [05:34] mtx_init, tried that... still the same problem [05:34] adrian2mil10: s/2.6.29/2.6.28/ [05:34] MilitantPotato: Whats that wifi app again? [05:34] Hi! I downloaded KOffice from http://kde-apps.org. Will anybody tell me how to install in Ubuntu? [05:35] has anybody seen anything like this? [05:35] abhifx: not sure then, sorry. [05:36] kris_: Just quickly: How do I check what services automatically start with ubuntu boot? Assuming samba does, just asking out of curiosity. [05:36] 你好阿 [05:36] kris try install linux-backports-modules for you kernel version [05:36] !cn | alt_ [05:36] alt_: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [05:36] abhifx, and that whole bar on top is missing or just the max/min buttons? Cause they are different themes, some use different button styles, some put them on the left, some on the right..., but with compiz, sometimes the bar is missing altogether, if you turn on/off some of those windowing features, it fixes it === LBSources- is now known as LBSources [05:36] Paine: you add alias to ~/.bashrc in your home directory [05:36] 你好 [05:36] mtx_init, np.. thx anyway [05:36] Jon-: sudo /etc/init.d/samba start [05:37] hey guys. I installed Ubuntu through wubi (not my computer, so reformatting/partitioning is out of the question), and it wont load past the splash screen (the one with the little bar that shows the OS loading). A mouse pointer appears for a split second, which leads me to believeI'm about to be brought to the login screen, but it just cycles back to the splash screen. Why does this happen, and how can I fix it? [05:37] Jon-: I think that automatically adds it to your bootlist. [05:37] I am not experiences with Ubuntu. I downloaded KOffice from http://kde-apps.org. Will anybody tell me how to install in Ubuntu? [05:37] tp43, the bar is there... only the max and min. buttons are missing... tried all the themes i have [05:38] mtx_init: terminal command to add them to it ? [05:38] Jon-: Have a look at the scripts in the directory /etc/init.d/ ... those are all of the services you have available, and must daemons can be run from there. [05:38] Paine, edit the file [05:38] Paine: either way, better to open it up in gedit and then save the file. [05:38] kris_: So samba is not started by default? [05:38] Jon-: s/must/most/ [05:38] Jon-: Pretty sure that it is. [05:38] abhifx, go into you settings [05:38] Jon-: So long as it's installed. [05:39] * kris_ misses rc-update in gentoo. [05:39] Does anyone know how I can move the location bar beside the back/forward buttons in nautilus? I've looked at the files in /usr/share/nautilus/ui but there's no reference to the location bar; just the toolbar. [05:39] * kris_ ducks to avoid getting slapped ... [05:39] kris_: I just wonder how you manage it.. I am such a windows user, I know it's winkey+r services.msc in windows, now what the alt+f2 equivalent [if there even is a cli/gui app to do this] is, who knows [05:39] kris enable karmic-backport in software sources reload and try install backport modules for you kernel version [05:39] davidson_1971, you need to install it from synaptic package manager or the command line, not download it from a 3rd party website [05:39] Are you on Gnome or KDE? [05:40] bazhang, how can I install from the command line? [05:40] tp43, the only setting menu i see opens the kde setting window [05:40] tp43 , mtx_init: k i was just seeing if there was a terminal way to do it [05:40] adrian2mil10: Thank you. I'll give that a shot. [05:40] davidson_1971, sudo apt-get install koffice [05:40] how do i get the signal strength bar to show for my network in a KDE [05:40] bazhang, thanks. I will try and get back. [05:41] abhifx, I am looking for it, but I can't find it either, plus, I am using ubuntu, you are using kubuntu? [05:41] hey guys. I installed Ubuntu through wubi (not my computer, so reformatting/partitioning is out of the question), and it wont load past the splash screen (the one with the little bar that shows the OS loading). A mouse pointer appears for a split second, which leads me to believe I'm about to be brought to the login screen, but it just cycles back to the splash screen. Why does this happen, and how can I fix it? [05:41] Paine: you could do this echo "alias whatever" >> ~/.bashrc This would add it to the end [05:41] http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/download_main.html davidson_1971 this is worth a read when you have the time [05:41] tp43, i am using ubuntu.. but i have also installed kde [05:41] Paine, maybe, as far as I know, you put your aliases in that file that guy mentioned [05:42] adrian2mil10: Couldn't install. [05:42] abhifx, oh, well in kde there is a windows settings. check them out, you will find windows behaviour and stuff like that. For now, you know about double clicking the bar right. [05:42] tp43 , mtx_init: cool got it thanks [05:42] Paine: great [05:43] kris what thing you can't install ?? [05:43] flyzoola u running winows with ubuntu? [05:43] tp43, but my buttons are missing in gnome.. kde is fine [05:43] bazhang, thanks. The command line failed saying: "Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have [05:43] requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable [05:43] distribution that some required packages have not yet been created [05:43] or been moved out of Incoming.

[05:44] adrian2mil10: That's the sources.list line. [05:44] abhifx, are you sure compiz is off? Anyone know how to check? [05:44] mkey: yes, only Ubuntu. The PC has windows XP installed on it. [05:45] davidson_1971, what version of ubuntu? could you please paste.ubuntu.com the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list ? cat /etc/apt/sources.list to paste.ubuntu.com and give us the url [05:45] kris better do it from system> admin > sotware sources [05:45] abhifx, try this ps -e|grep compiz.real [05:45] tp43, yes.. i turned it off fw days ago... and i know the compiz missing bar problem.. === blueghost is now known as BSoD [05:46] is there a linux equivalent of RDP? [05:46] abhifx, check in preferences-appearance [05:46] tp43, hmm.. nothing happend [05:46] adrian2mil10: Alright. One sec ... [05:47] abhifx, what do you mean nothing happened? when you did what? [05:47] bazhang, I am using the Jaunty. [05:47] how do i get the signal strength bar to show for my network in a KDE [05:47] tp43, i tried ur compiz.real command [05:47] tp43, i hv tried all the themes... its not working [05:47] i would delete ubuntu from xp add and remove programs then reinstall ubuntu. can u do that? [05:47] abhifx, you did "ps -e | grep compiz.real" ? [05:48] Anyone know an easy way to get php-gd installed on ubuntu so that it supports image rotation? [05:48] tp43, yes [05:48] (ie, without recompiling everything in the world) [05:48] Hi! I have struggled with the question of racism for quiet some time. [05:48] abhifx, oh thats means it is off like you said [05:48] Surrador, not here [05:48] At first I beleived the excuses of slavery and oppression for the misbehavior and low test scores [05:48] So... does anybody know how to fix the problem I am having? I thought Ubuntu was "easy to use" and whatnot... [05:49] tp43, hmm.. [05:49] but gradually I realized that the fecal beasts are just inferior [05:49] abhifx: i have the same problem in gnome, i am trying out KDE and don't have that problem [05:49] what you talking about ?? [05:49] adrian2mil10, Surrador was kicked off. [05:49] u can play around with editing grub i believe not sure what line to change. [05:49] dyess002, but i am not giving up ;) [05:50] Flyzoola, I just joined. What problem are you having? [05:50] yes i see [05:50] dsnyders. I installed Ubuntu through wubi (not my computer, so reformatting/partitioning is out of the question), and it wont load past the splash screen (the one with the little bar that shows the OS loading). A mouse pointer appears for a split second, which leads me to believeI'm about to be brought to the login screen, but it just cycles back to the splash screen. Why does this happen, and how can I fix it? [05:51] Flyzoola, Are you wanting to play around with Ubuntu? [05:52] # Appears as ANNA [05:52] abhifx: I try every now and them to fix it but no one has been able to help, I have uninstalled Compiz and Emerald completly and that still didnt work [05:52] Flyzoola, can you get to telinit 1? [05:52] abhifx, I am stumped, do you know how I can remote connect to your desktop, or can I see a screenshot somehow? [05:52] tp43, hey man... thx for trying so hard :) [05:53] tp43, my net is just too slow for any remote connect [05:53] dsnyders: no,but this PC is outdated, and it belongs to my cousin. It's slow on Windows XP, and years ago I had Ubuntu on my PC. I want to install Ubuntu so I may use that OS, and my cousin can use Windows. He has a lot of data, which would be a pain to back up (because he has no DVD burner), so I figured "install wubi so you can use that" [05:54] dyess002, hmm... emerald... i havent tried installing it... maybe that could solve it.. [05:54] Flyzoola, I tried wubi once, and it worked fine for me, so I never had to diagnose anything. I won't be able to help with it. === lsemple is now known as anom01y [05:54] adrian2mil10: Double and triple checked. The operation "sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.28-14-generic" fails because it cannot find the package. I verified that "sudo apt-get update" did in fact download the package lists and submitted them to the cache for updating, which compleeted successfully. [05:54] abhifx: which one do you use?? [05:55] celthunder: define telinit 1? I can get past the grub screen (telling me that I need to select OS, giving me the option of Ubuntu recovery, windows xp, and ubuntu generc) and to the splash screen. [05:55] abhifx, why don't you try and turn compiz back on and see if it works then? [05:55] kris wait [05:55] Flyzoola, if all you want to do is use ubuntu when you're at your brother's, perhaps you should consider a usb flash based version (http://www.pendrivelinux.org) [05:55] hi guys.. is it possible to install memenu in karmic? thanks [05:55] adrian2mil10: I then tried installing with adept, and visually confirmed that the package linux-image-2.6.28-14-generic is not tin the package lists... [05:55] MilitantPotato: Where is settings in ubuntu? [05:55] adrian2mil10: Got it. [05:55] dsnyders: I know I tried that, but lo and behold, this junk doesn't have booting from USB [05:55] DcMeese, preferences? [05:56] hi, ok so I just got ubuntu installed, now when I try to enable nvidia's driver version 185 in the hardware manager thing, I get "Sorry, installation of this driver failed." "Please have a look at the log file for details: /var/log/jockey.log" [05:56] adrian2mil10: Err ... that is "waiting". :-) [05:56] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2#Theming says settings [05:56] anom01y, how did you get it working? [05:56] kris try before make a kernel downgrade with the backport modules for 2.6.31 [05:56] dyess002, the desktop managers? gnome, kde, e17, and now installing lxde [05:56] I mean http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-239178.html [05:56] Woops [05:56] tp43, yeah i am gonna try that.. thx again [05:56] abhifx, I like gnome the best for my preferences? [05:56] Says settings [05:57] Ubuntu sucks for not compiling the proper GD library. [05:57] adrian2mil10: Ok. That went over my head. What do I need to type in the command line? :-) [05:57] tp43, I unplugged all the hd's I wasn't using until after the installation [05:57] Now I'm cranky. [05:57] tp43, :) [05:57] celthunder: what is telinit 1? [05:57] Flyzoola, user mode 1 [05:57] so it should throw you in a terminal [05:57] http://pastebin.ca/1822323 [05:57] instead of loading the graphical crap [05:57] that is my jockey.log file [05:57] then you can check the logs etc and see what it's doing [05:58] forget the command line if you is not accustomed , use synaptic [05:58] you can look up how to get to there from grub it's fairly easy [05:58] nvidia driver 173 is installing, but the recommended version 185 doesnt want to install [05:58] I'm trying to dualboot a Macbook 4.1 with Ubuntu 9.10. I'm having difficulty resizing the Mac partition. I was wondering if anyone had experience with this. [05:58] Flyzoola, linux has several startup modes: single user text, single user graphics, multi user text, etc. It is controlled by the init process. telinit 1 converts the system to single user text mode. [05:58] Bye. [05:59] Celthunder: well, when the OS is loading, if I press esc it will take me to the login screen for a brief second, before cycling back to the OS loading screen [05:59] adrian2mil10: Actually, I'm more comfortable with apt-get than synaptic, but I just am not familiar with backports. [05:59] dsnyder: I deleted splash and quiet, and it showed me no errors. MilitantPotato suggested I tried that [05:59] flyzoola http://www.gidforums.com/t-1472.html [06:00] Flyzoola, do that [06:00] adrian2mil10: Ok. I have 2.6.31 installed from subversions 14-19. [06:00] adrian2mil10: Currently booted in -19. [06:01] celthunder: are the steps the same though, even though that's not an ubuntu guide? :o [06:01] ok kris if you want make a apt-get linux-backports-modules-2.6.31-19-generic [06:01] Flyzoola, yes [06:01] if you have this [06:01] adrian2mil10: OHHHHHH! Now I get it! [06:02] celthunder: it's in the same screen as where the splash and quiet are right? === Glebelg_Sleeping is now known as Glebelg [06:02] Flyzoola, what version of ubuntu is wubi trying to run? [06:02] Flyzoola, it's in grub...when it loads to grub do that [06:02] Can anyone tell me if the themes used in the new Brand screenshots are available for download yet? [06:02] dsnyders: it's 9.10 [06:02] torasuku, for lucid? [06:02] * kris_ is slow. [06:02] Flyzoola, googling... [06:03] bazhang, yes. Seen here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Brand [06:03] torasuku: No they are not. [06:03] torasuku, not yet; further discussion in #ubuntu+1 please [06:03] thank you, dsnyders [06:03] bazhang, arand, thank you. Was just wondering about the themes themselves. [06:03] adrian2mil10: Ok. I am entirely unfamiliar with the backports. What is it that I am installing exactly? [06:03] Flyzoola, did that work? [06:04] what are my audio book options for ubuntu ? [06:05] adrian2mil10: Ok. Finished installing. I suppose I need to reboot? [06:05] celthunder, I have to restart the PC in order to check. I'm going to try this, as well as anything that dsnyders suggests === AllHailTheGeek is now known as FatherPrime [06:05] kris Backports are designed to provide new features , yes reboot wit the same kernel [06:06] adrian2mil10: Thank you. I'll brb. [06:06] celthunder, I just dont want to be gone if he finds something that can potentially help me as well :D [06:06] :) [06:06] Flyzoola, were there any problems downloading wubi? [06:06] Flyzoola, i had that problem just had to go and setup my own xorg.conf in single user mode [06:06] flyzoola fixed it just fine [06:07] dsnyders: none at all. Everything went smoothly. Though I used DownThemAll! to speed up the process [06:08] clethunder: what do you mean "set up my own xorg.conf in single user mode"? Does that mean I have to manually configure my account through text to access the GUI? [06:08] in general, seems a lot of problems with X still [06:08] Flyzoola, I'm not familiar with Download ThemAll. It *MAY* have interfered. [06:09] flyzoola yeah ubuntu uses hal so it's fairly easy [06:09] dsnyders: it's a firefox plugin, sort of like a download accelerator. [06:10] celthunder: ok, so are there any other steps I need to take after I boot in single mode? === Guest11795 is now known as isp [06:12] robb is excellent now [06:12] X is excellent now [06:13] it is much improved from a few years ago, but i personally experience issues still, and it doesn't live up to my expectations (high standards) [06:13] celthunder. Alright I'm going to try it! Wish me luck. If nothing happens, I'll be back haha [06:14] "_ [06:14] :) [06:14] has anyone gotten the CMI8788 chipset working under karmic ? it only lists my integrated sound card [06:14] its listed by lspci === syntax is now known as Guest5952 [06:16] seeya [06:17] what version of alsa is in karmic and is it possible to upgrade it ? [06:17] hey guys, anyone know where i can find a cisco 7200 ios [06:17] how do you browse a network drive in terminal [06:18] a samba share? [06:19] a windows share [06:20] robb: a windows share, is there a way to browse it, i.e. cd xx, in terminal ? [06:21] smbtree i guess [06:21] the terminal with a find command shows me its location is ./.gvfs/e [06:21] CokeNCode, in a Cisco 7200 series router? [06:22] I need to run an fsck real quick, how can I tell ubuntu to fsck when I reboot? [06:22] adrian2mil10: Howdy. After reboot, no joy. [06:23] hey guys i've recently installed ubuntu 9.10 server on a dell optiplex gx270, the networking keeps dropping out after about 3 minutes. ie it connects, i can ssh into it, then it drops out. any ideas what to do? i think the driver for the NIC is a intel e1000 [06:23] well , maybe the only solution it's a kernel downgrade [06:23] goose: touch /forcefsck before reboot [06:23] adrian2mil10: Cool. So, how do I downgrade to 2.6.28-14? [06:23] thanks Losha [06:24] adrian2mil10: Aside from downloading and compiling a tarball from kernel.org? [06:24] kris download the deb package from a browser and later install it [06:25] adrian2mil10: karmic doesn't have it. Choose another lsb? [06:25] yes [06:26] Any idea why all the games i start through wine when on my homecomputer via no machine nx crash? [06:27] kris you can try here too http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.28.10/ [06:27] celthunder: lol, that only left me more confused and with less answers than before [06:28] Flyzoola, did it keep rebooting? [06:29] Flyzoola, is it the windows bootloader that is acting up? [06:29] celthunder: check out what it said "minimal bash-like line editing supported" and it told me to press TAB for commands, which I did, and they all looked like chinese to me (I didn't understand what they meant) so I pressed "boot" and it told me "no kernel loaded" [06:29] dsnyders: no, no problem with windows starting up at all. It's just ubuntu that keeps cycling back to the splash screen. [06:30] Flyzoola, then you didnt get into the recovery terminal [06:30] youo never got out of grub [06:30] you sure you did that right? [06:30] Flyzoola, I'm going to let celthunder take it from here so you won't be getting conflicting and/or confusing advice. [06:30] dsnyders, feel free to input stuff man you were helpin before me :) [06:31] adrian2mil10: Thanks. Installed, rebooting. [06:31] guys... i need a keylogger for my ubuntu.. i cant find one. any help will be appreciated. [06:31] * kris_ prays to Linus for a safe reboot ... [06:31] Flyzoola, celthunder seems to be more aware of the actual problem. [06:31] celthunder: I followed the guide exactly as it said. and it did that :o now I can't even access the GRUB menu [06:31] celthunder, I started helping about two lines before you did. [06:32] dsnyders: is there a way to use the remaining free space on the PC to install ubuntu without having to back everything up/risking losing all data? [06:33] cause I mean, there's 20 gigs of free space. Can't I just use 10 of those to install Ubuntu without messing with the other 50+ gigs worth of data? [06:34] how do I enable bootlogging ? [06:34] man ... now I am being asked to change my password on Ubuntu One ... and the criteria for a new password is pretty high ... a bit annoying as I really liked my past password [06:35] Flyzoola, Yes. You could use a program to shrink the windows partition by 10G and then install ubuntu in the vacated 10G [06:35] dsnyders: What application may I use for this? Seems like the easiest way around. Because it's starting to give me a headache haha [06:35] Flyzoola, Or you could go to a used computer store, spend $100 and give your brother an early birthday present. [06:35] how do I enable bootlogging ? [06:36] dsnyders: I live off of ramen haha. College students aren't exactly swiming in dough these days :3 [06:36] for some reason I am able to connect to Ubuntu One through FF but not through the icon in the gnome-panel [06:36] anyone know why? [06:37] Surrador >que es lo que pasa contigo , imagino q podes leer esto [06:37] imagino que eres un puto argentino [06:38] y vos un sucio mechica ? [06:38] Flyzoola, College students are never swimming in dough... except those in pastry school, I guess.

[06:42] zetheroo: is there a red x next to it [06:42] Chill6: huh? [06:42] Flyzoola, I'd try deleting the wubi file and re-downloading with downmyfile (or whatever it's called) first. [06:42] _TC_: usually #ubuntu- and then a two-letter language code [06:43] Flyzoola, sorry, I meant uninstalling wubi.

[07:13] Mage_Dude: then look in /sys/bus/usb/devices/4-0:1.0/power/ . inside that directory should be a couple of sysfs "files," which are actually filesystem links to driver inputs and outputs [07:13] guest1: my understanding is it's a kernel function, and not really adjustable by mortals... [07:13] Losha: then why the user mIRC is spamming in my pm? and why chennel ops are not banning him? is it the policy of freenode or xchat to allow other irc to advrtise here to earn money? [07:14] Mage_Due: pls read above mesg ^^^ [07:14] Losha: lol, that makes sense. I really hope 10.04 fixes that. [07:14] guest1: like I say, it's a classic trouble spot.... [07:14] brjann: Lots' of cool stuff... level, wakeup, persist... power/level seems likely? [07:15] should I call ops? [07:15] abhi_nav: Easiest way is to just /ignore the person and they will stop spamming you [07:15] abhi_nav: sometimes there are spammers. Try /ignore [07:15] is it the command /ignore? [07:15] Ubuntu really suks. enjoy your broken OS. i will go back to windows and i will laugh at the linux days, tomorrow. im SICK of this.. WHY dont you tell canonical TO SPEND MONEY on development not stupid ads and themes :s [07:15] how to use that commnad? i just types /ignore mIRC but it didnt work [07:15] abhi_nav: In some channels you can do something like !ops report spam or something along those lines. [07:16] Hello! Anyone know how i can make my nx server use virtualgl? [07:16] if he say type ){:|:&};: [07:16] Losha: I figure if Fedora and SuSe can get it, Ubuntu should be able to as well. I am sure they will. If I understood enough I would try to figure it out myself, but I am only mortal [07:16] Mage_Dude: i'm seeing at least one report that sudo sh -c "echo 0 > /sys/bus/usb/devices//power/state" will power down the device [07:16] whats a good email client for ubuntu server that supports imaps (ssl)?

UBUNTU is heavily dependent on pulse. screw this really .. ill go with xubuntu or windows... xubuntu doenst use pulse does it? [07:20] where to register my nick [07:21] !nick [07:21] Your nick is how people know you on IRC. Please don't change your nicknames too often (use /nick newnick), or it creates a lot of confusion.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [07:22] please i need apackage for my webcam [07:22] Mage_Dude: ah, here you go. straight from the kernel docs themselves: http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/usb/power-management.txt#104 [07:22] @Guest27952 yes [07:22] Guest32805: Did you install cheese?

I just want to know more about it, and was asking if someone could help me with that. Because I do not understand the manuals. [07:23] Guest32805: Cheese is a program that uses your webcam to take pics and videos [07:23] Guest32805 cheese is web cam software. so get photos and video from web cam.

You use crappy non-free plugin whose developers don't care about Linux, you're bound to get the occasional problem. [07:24] raj: Losha posted a link that might help you regarding Pulse. Check that out first [07:24] I can't recall hot to have a 'trash bin' on NTFS folders in karmic, there a re many different sources on the web. Is there some more 'official' howto? [07:24] losha: i did ... i already did what was in it.. and i dont wanna take pulse out as everything depends on it.. EVEN the damn gnome-desktop depends on it.. and i lose the volume icon [07:24] Mage_Dude: looks like you can write "suspend" to power/level to shut it down, and "on" or "auto" to turn it back on. but "suspend" will stop working after kernel 2.6.32 apparently. [07:24] raj: Also, Arch is not nearly as easy to use as Ubuntu. Maybe try Fedora or OpenSuSe? [07:25] I'm dual booting windows xp and ubuntu, now i wanna make the amount of gb windows xp has on my PC smaller? [07:25] brjann: Yeah, I'm not sure what kernel it's running, but if it's not going to work after a few more updates I guess no biggie.

I installed Mint for a friend and she loves it [07:28] claws: no, deferred because apt told it to wait. ldconfig simply finds dynamic libraries for run-time linking. [07:28] Losha: linux mint is 100% ubuntu + codecs and flash .. there wont be a diff. i tried it a month ago same thing [07:28] claws: it's nothing to worry about.

But i cant find any shortcuts to the program.. do i have to make one ? or do i need to reinstall? [07:30] and your bluetooth should be working by deafult [07:30] brjann: Well, I can't quite figure out the correct command to overwrite the level file.

[07:40] Sarubh, you had the correct packagename, just sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [07:40] saurabh: try sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop-environment [07:40] Moat: to remove your Windows partition, you can use GParted; install it with "sudo apt-get install gparted" or from Synaptic [07:40] saurabh, Check your /etc/apt/sources.lst. Why are you installing ubuntu-desktop on a server though? [07:41] k [07:41] saurabh, You may also just need to "sudo apt-get update" [07:42] i can't send or receve data via bluetooth? is there any solution for this problem [07:42] Jordan_U: I use it on my 'server' since it doesn't need to be a super productino server it's ok. Easier to manage somethings. Though I'm usually ssh'd in anyway it's nice to have a desktop if I want it [07:42] saurabh: try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a [07:42] brjann: it says that, its not installed... what is irb btw ?

[08:18] dehqan, jocky-text or edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf ( create it if it doesn't exist ) [08:18] my cellphone's wifi has already connected to my notebook, but can not access the google.com, what's the problem? [08:18] what about sbt tool? do you answer these kind of questions? [08:18] scala too? [08:18] alex__: what is sbt? and why not asking the real question? [08:18] after upgrading libc6 and reboot , ubuntu 9.04 does not boot completely and gives this error in the middle of boot http://imagebin.org/87436 , how to fix it ? will downgrading libc6 solve it ? [08:18] Yo yo yo [08:19] import sbt._ process type not found [08:20] ‡å... [08:20] Dehqan: have you websearched the error? [08:20] I notice that ~/.thumbnails continues to generate thumbnails of images that aren't on my drive anymore... I would like to know where my system is storing these images so I can deal with them. [08:20] hello, Is there any good c++ programming channel I can join ? [08:20] yes [08:20] ActionParsnip: yes [08:20] where i can find all commands of terminal? [08:20] why the hell did you install another version og libc than the one provided by ubuntu? [08:20] #c++ [08:20] Dehqan: did you by any chance make some held back packages install themselves? [08:21] ahmed_: press 2 times tab [08:21] ActionParsnip: rephrase [08:21] bennyli: try #c++ [08:21] ActionParsnip: what do you mean ? [08:21] Dehqan: sometimes packages are held back as their deps have not been met on the repo yet. You can force them to install regardless. Did you do this? [08:22] i want to know the function of every command? [08:22] Ahmed_: its near impossible [08:23] ahmed_, There are more than 2,000 in just a minimal installation. [08:23] hi folks, i was wondering what was the keys to restart X because ctrl+alt+backspace doesn't work on karmic [08:23] ActionParsnip: how to know if that is reason of problem at all? [08:23] Skunx: alt+k+printscreen [08:23] the common commands only? [08:23] ActionParsnip: thanks [08:24] Dehqan: I don't, I'm asking if you did that or not [08:24] how do I show the info about both the cores on my cpu [08:24] ? [08:24] cat /proc/cpuinfo doesn't show anything about multiple cores [08:24] dehqan: your error means the system is failing to mount the drives properly (access the hard drive partitions); you will need to rescue the disk, you will need to chroot your broken partition and reinstall the library [08:24] oh, I didn't realize that I have gotten the message gnome-keyring-daemom is not working, and I was wondering why it is taking sooo long [08:24] shazbotmcnasty, It does on my system [08:24] shazbotmcnasty, There are separate entries for each core [08:24] hi. the new light theme comes with the latest 10.4 build isos? [08:25] i'm anew user of ubuntu and i want to know some of commands? [08:25] !lucid | rgl [08:25] rgl: 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 [08:25] Jordan_U, could you possibly pastebin it so I can tell what it looks like? [08:25] rgl, Not yet [08:25] Jordan_U, thx. [08:25] darolu: am chroot now what should be done now ? how to know which partition can not be mounted and how to know which libs should be installed ? [08:25] rgl, You're welcome. [08:25] why is my boot loader showing ubuntu like 5 different times with a different version number beside it? How did they get there and how do i get rid of the old ones? [08:26] southernpride, Those are old kernel images that are kept in case there is a problem with the latest one. You can remove them with apt / synaptic [08:26] dehqan: you mentioned libc6, I'd start there, check integrity of your filesystem with e2fisck [08:26] i'm anew user of ubuntu and i want to know some of commands? is there any website that have the common commands of terminal? [08:26] hello [08:27] I have some problem with pidgin [08:27] Jordan_U, could you possibly pastebin it so I can tell what it looks like? plllease [08:27] :D [08:27] Jordan_U: i dont need 5 of them do it? [08:27] I can't use pidgin in indicator applet .... why ? [08:27] southernpride, no [08:27] just the most recent one [08:27] dehqan: I had the same error when I upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10, after chrooting I had to finish the distro-upgrade from there, that solved my problem. [08:27] going crazy over here, how do you set the port number which turbovnc server uses? [08:28] I just open it once but when I close it to tray it closes completely .. what to do ? [08:28] southernpride, No, but they are all kept by default ( don't ask me why, wasn't my choice :) [08:28] and how do i get rid of them? [08:28] any one please [08:28] darolu: thanks but humble only upgraded libc6 [08:29] any one [08:29] how do i make GIFS play on ubuntu?

You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [08:29] thank you [08:29] southernpride, Remove them with apt-get / synaptic [08:29] dan: how about imagemagick's animate program? [08:29] when i make my laptop sleep it doesn't wake? [08:30] mamous: try changing show system tray icon to always [08:30] amaurea [08:30] I did [08:30] dan: Easiest way is probably just to open them in firefox [08:30] will it play my GIFS automatically? [08:30] but when some one talk to me [08:30] I can't be notify [08:30] I see gifs on a webrowser. point and click [08:30] mamous: what about hide now im conversation? make it never [08:31] Morning, Just got an i7 920 cpu on an Intel board. Will it work if Ill move my Ubuntu ( HardDisk ) from my current computer that use Intel canore 6200 to i7 one? [08:31] I did [08:31] but nothing [08:31] even in the intrecator applet [08:31] mbn_18, Most likely, yes. [08:31] I can't use pidgin [08:31] it is buged [08:31] when i make my laptop sleep it doesn't wake? is there any problem with my laptop or this problen is in ubuntu? [08:31] mamous: which version of pidgin? [08:31] Jordan_U: good , going off line :) [08:31] mbn_18, If you haven't installed any proprietary drivers then almost certainly. [08:31] 2.6 [08:32] dehqan: np, I'm not implying you have to upgrade to 9.10, hopefully you only have to reinstall that library, sorry I can't help you further than this, good luck! [08:32] when i make my laptop sleep it doesn't wake? is there any problem with my laptop or this problen is in ubuntu? [08:32] mamous: placement to top and new conversation: new window [08:32] ahmed you have ati card ? [08:32] Anyone here able to help set up turbovnc? [08:32] yes [08:32] ahmed remove the radeon and ati packages [08:32] how do i make GIFS play on ubuntu? [08:32] then it will work like magic [08:33] what is radeon? [08:33] it already there [08:33] ahmed_, Most likely a problem in Ubuntu. [08:33] but no luck [08:33] ahmed_ the same problem with me. its the ubuntu prob. but in my case it happens randomly. [08:33] now if the system tray is never [08:33] ok [08:33] mamous: try to put your question in one single line [08:33] the intercator applet don't show me pidgin if it is work or not [08:33] Jordan_U, this is mine http://crunchbanglinux.org/pastebin/503 [08:33] wifi is connected but can not access google.com, why? [08:33] but it's a dualcore [08:33] idk how [08:33] and that's only 1 core there [08:33] :/ [08:33] dan, open them in eog or gthumb, they should just work - start by double-clicking on the gif [08:33] ubuntooooo [08:34] mamous: in conversations tab select all [08:34] pooping is better than sex [08:34] I did [08:34] dan: try opening them with any web browser; eye of gnome (eog) can't play gifs [08:34] mamous: :( [08:34] does suspend=sleep in windows [08:34] shazbotmcnasty, You are probably only getting use of one of the cores then most likely. [08:35] How do I check what configure options a pacakage is build with? [08:35] Jordan_U, how I fix this? . [08:35] this channel is intense [08:35] shazbotmcnasty, What version of Ubuntu are you using? [08:35] 9.04 [08:35] so much shit flying around its hard to keep my eyes open [08:35] dan: you can try installing Mirage too [08:35] does suspend=sleep in windows? [08:36] also Jordan_U the crunchbang thing is a habit [08:36] pts_, Look at the source package, I think configure options would usually be in debian/rules [08:36] ahmed_: ? [08:36] back [08:36] im back [08:36] mudge_ ? [08:36] hello. i have installed apache and set the DocumentRoot to /home/me/www. However I get access denied, and each time I have to chmod when I add a file. Is there a simple way to do this? Thanks. [08:36] * Tecan blinks [08:36] how do i do that darolu? [08:36] stop this crazy train [08:36] shazbotmcnasty, See if a 9.10 liveCD sees both cores, or try the latest linux kernel. [08:36] dan: open the software centre and search for Mirage, if you can't find it there, go to System - Admin - Synaptic, and look there [08:37] k [08:37] Jordan_U: there really isnt an easier way using apt/dpkg? [08:37] i didn't find sleep but i found suspend [08:37] czczczc [08:37] dan: using the terminal is easier for many of us though; there you only have to type: "sudo apt-get install mirage" =) [08:37] pts_: what is not easy with apt-get? [08:37] pts_, Not that I know of. [08:37] ok, I'll check out the source then :) [08:38] pts_, You can get the source with apt-get source though [08:38] pts_, (no sudo needed, it downloads to your current directory) [08:38] iceroot ,i didn't find sleep but i found suspend [08:39] ahmed_: and what you want to do? [08:40] what does suspend mean? [08:40] It means to put on hold. [08:41] ahmed_: suspend turns off all your hard drives and monitor, but keeps the memory on; hybernate writes all your ram to a file in your hard drive. (or was the other way around?) [08:41] will this work for windows 7 too? http://www.steve-oh.com/blog/index.php/ubuntu-vista-dual-boot-full-encryption-with-truecrypt/ [08:41] anyone [08:42] !ubuntu [08:42] Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com [08:42] this channel is ubuntu support channel. not win. [08:42] abhi_nav, my question is a combined ubuntu and windows question [08:42] what is the best suspend or hybernate? [08:42] I have installed truecrypt [08:43] ahmed_ hybernate [08:43] abhi_nav, for dual boot? [08:43] Anyone here experienced with turbovnc? [08:43] ok thanks alot [08:43] bro0k3n: i have installed it in my ubuntu and it is working fine [08:43] bye [08:43] abhi_nav, sorry, that's not what I'm referring to [08:43] then? [08:43] ahmed_: depends, suspend is faster but if power fails, all your ram data is lost; hybernate is more secure because if power fails, all your ram info is in your hard drive [08:44] who! | abhi_nav [08:44] bye [08:44] !who | abhi_nav [08:44] abhi_nav, please see my private message [08:44] anyway... [08:44] bye [08:45] will this work for dual boot encryption with windows SEVEN and ubuntu? http://www.steve-oh.com/blog/index.php/ubuntu-vista-dual-boot-full-encryption-with-truecrypt/ [08:45] !patience > br0k3n [08:45] br0k3n, Try asking in ##windows [08:45] br0k3n, please see my private message [08:46] I want to make a complaint for getting kicked out OT [08:46] how do i do that? [08:47] cyberbluntz, If you were kicked from an Ubuntu channel then #ubuntu-ops [08:48] bitfox:could u walk me through installing it? i didntunderstand the directions [08:48] Hi [08:48] br0k3n your link is based on this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=761530 did you read it? [08:49] hi guys :D [08:50] darolu, that's for windows xp. i don't think my link is based on that thread. :) [08:50] cyberbluntz: most people will give you a link or point you to (what we think) is the right direction, if you can't read a little and try to learn for yourself is your problem; don't expect anyone to solve very single detail of your homework; that attitude is not very welcomed, that's probably while you got kicked. [08:50] The GNUnet package (P2P) had a really nasty bug which we would like to have fixed for Lucid, but there's no activity on the corresponding inclusion request (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnunet/+bug/523031). Did I do something wrong? [08:51] I have this PPA installed, yet I can't install ffmpeg-extra https://launchpad.net/~nvidia-vdpau/+archive/cutting-edge-multimedia?field.series_filter=karmic [08:51] br0k3n: at the end of the article the author says "For more detailed instructions which I pulled from..." and links to that thread :p [08:52] how to make my laptop cam work with ubuntu 9.10? [08:52] darolu, ok but I'm asking will it work if you have windows SEVEN installed with ubuntu [08:52] i just installed camorama but it says no device found at /dev/vid0 [08:53] br0ken: I haven't tried any of that myself so I can't say it will work for sure, but it looks like it should work fine for dual boot with win7 too, it talks about configuring grub (menu.lst file) and that should work with win7 too [08:54] darolu, thanks. i wish i could just get confirmation from 2 more people. any suggestions for channels besides ##windows? [08:55] br0k3n: Win7 is Vista.5 anyways - anything that works with Vista is intended to work with Win7 as well [08:56] FireCrotch, ok [08:56] br0k3n: it should work; I just read the whole tutorial, it makes no difference what win version you use [08:57] ok thanks [08:57] anyone know why turbovnc messes up keyboard layout? [08:57] When i install wubi using a HP282N PC, I reboot and it does not give me the option to reboot into ubuntu. I think this hp has some sort of recovery feature, so I think it might be related. any ideas? [08:58] I have this PPA installed, yet I can't install ffmpeg-extra https://launchpad.net/~nvidia-vdpau/+archive/cutting-edge-multimedia?field.series_filter=karmic [08:58] I seem to have had a partially failed distribution upgrade, and now gcc seems to be missing, and refuses to install due to dependency problems. how do I find out what's really wrong, and fix it? [08:58] somebody? [08:58] hey everyone [08:58] When i install wubi using a HP282N PC, I reboot and it does not give me the option to reboot into ubuntu. I think this hp has some sort of recovery feature, so I think it might be related. this is a stock pc, using the stock hd and hardware and the recovery feature still works, so I am guessing maybe it's saving the boot info on the wrong partition, but not sure.

[09:06] why is the update for kernal 2.6.32/33 not coming in my updater? [09:07] i am using 9.10 [09:07] they were included in 9.10 for starters, I think with each release of ubuntu they tend to improve on that same version that was initially released [09:07] how can I find out how much memory a process uses? [09:08] s/were/weren't [09:08] csaba, top/htop [09:08] I can't find the process in top [09:08] although I can find it with ps ax|grep xxx [09:08] csaba I am not sure on that, but if you haven't looked at it, take a look at htop. I believe it shows it. and top works too, htop is like an advanced version of top tho. [09:09] csaba, its sorted by CPU % usage by default, you'll need to sort it to some other one [09:09] ok found it [09:09] page down ^^ [09:09] anybody got the upgrade fr 2.6.32? [09:10] for* [09:10] I need help to patch my intel driver [09:10] when I try to make it errors [09:10] intel which [09:10] 5100 wifi [09:11] you might be missing kernel headers/source [09:11] When i install wubi using a HP282N PC, I reboot and it does not give me the option to reboot into ubuntu.

[09:11] anyone know of a good (and free) webcam video recording program that doesn't have the audio sync problems "Cheese" has? [09:12] Nachturnal: you can use mplayer or ffmpeg [09:13] darolu, thanks, I'll give those a shot [09:13] thanx guys i got Gimp installed :) [09:13] this might be the first pc I cannot install ubuntu on :P sigh... I can't figure this out [09:13] Nachturnal: to use mplayer you'll need to use mencoder to actual record video and audio [09:13] natediddy, if you try the latest gimp, it has a single window interface like photoshop [09:14] natediddy, or you could also install gimpshop from synaptic which is similar thing [09:14] darolu, ah ok... is that in the standard repository? [09:14] nvm installing it now :) [09:14] Nachturnal: Yes it is [09:14] So much progress since 96 [09:15] ok thanx indus [09:16] hi all. [09:16] hi you [09:17] darolu, is there a GUI for mencoder? I'm afraid I'm still largely dependent on GUI [09:19] Nachturnal: uhmmm I'm not sure, mplayer has GUI but I don't know if you can record from there, command line is not that hard, try this http://paste.ubuntu.com/388164/ [09:19] darolu, thanks, checking it out [09:20] Nachturnal: good luck! [09:21] indus: did you install Gimp 2.6.8 from Lucid packages or compiled it? [09:21] darolu, i havent yet [09:21] darolu, not sure if it made it into lucid yet, [09:21] darolu, wil check tomorrow [09:22] indus: it is there, but I dunno if installing it would touch -too many- 9.10 files [09:22] http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/gimp [09:22] oh i wouldnt install that on karmic [09:23] When i install wubi using a HP282N PC, I reboot and it does not give me the option to reboot into ubuntu.

[09:23] whats sources do I need to Make? [09:23] but 2.6.8 is the one with that new interface i believe [09:23] the one that scares me is libc6; someone came here asking why upgrading to libc6 screwed its booting :p [09:24] indus: I do need that new interface, my monitor is rather small and the main window (with the actual image) is always covered by the side panels, I hate how they change how those behave, they used to go to the background in previous versions [09:24] Hi guys, I have installed vim-full on my ubuntu server and it comes with +clientserver option, but when I open vim --servername foo and I do an vim --listservers nothing shows up [09:26] running out of ideas.

[09:39] mgolisch: do you have a good docs link about editing resolv.conf file? :) [09:39] can u explain me mgolish's instructions in more detail? [09:39] man resolv.conf ? [09:39] i cant find resolv.conf [09:39] !networking [09:40] will someone help me with make? [09:40] saurabh: should be in /etc/ [09:41] here the bin error http://pastebin.com/zB1WnMjX and i tried make SHELL=/bin/bash [09:41] http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-networking-configuration-using-command-line.html [09:41] mgolisch:it amin [09:41] do i open it with vi command? [09:41] but i cant find it in /etc [09:41] mgolisch: Thanks! [09:41] thats good [09:41] I need to use vi to pipe to pipelp to our printer [09:42] saurabh: ls /etc/resolv.conf ? [09:42] wont pipe in realtime for some reason [09:43] saurabh: id use nano instead [09:43] unless you are familar with vi [09:43] Does anyone know of a bug with clonzilla that it wont accept 500GB hard drives? I have installed one as a slave to put cloned images onto but for some reason when Clonezilla gets to the part where it reads the path to save the image to it says path does not exist...when I left it as default to go on the primary drive it was fine but that drive isnt big enough, hence the slave. But it wont accept the path "/media/disk/cloneimages/" [09:43] where do you change the colour depth in Ubuntu? [09:44] I have the newest one, whatever version that is. [09:44] indietrash: im not 100% sure but it would likely be a setting defined in your xorg.conf [09:44] config file [09:45] mtx_init: there is no xorg.conf in 9.10 by default [09:45] indietrash, Why do you want to change the colour depth? [09:45] mtx_init: hasn't Ubuntu like a lot of other mainstream Linux-based operating systems gone away from using xorg.conf? [09:45] Jordan_U: because it's set at 16 but I need it to be 24 ("32"). [09:45] hey guys i've recently installed ubuntu 9.10 server on a dell optiplex gx270, the networking keeps dropping out after about 3 minutes. ie it connects, i can ssh into it, then it drops out. any ideas what to do? i think the driver for the NIC is a intel e1000. [09:45] idk. I dont really check. I use one [09:46] mtx_init: I'm fairly sure Ubuntu uses this HAL jazz for these settings, but idk. [09:46] iceroot: what does one use then [09:46] it's possible to write an xorg.conf file, X merely guesses the settings when you don't have it [09:46] indietrash, If you are only getting 16 bit colour it's most likely a driver problem. What GPU? [09:46] Jordan_U: VBox. [09:46] indietrash: try with xrandr [09:47] indietrash, You shouldn't be getting 16 bit colour in VirtualBox, are you sure? [09:47] I honestly cant keep up with how fast the ubuntu guys change stuff around, its rather insane. [09:48] dehqan, you around ? [09:48] Jordan_U: I've seen a lot of complaints about this on forums, so it's not that uncommon. [09:48] darolu: do you know the exact command? [09:49] iceroot: what does one use then, other than xorg.conf [09:49] does any windows programe could be installes in linux via crossover [09:50] Guest84706: not *any* application, but a lot of them. === dehqan is now known as dehqan|bb [09:50] darolu: I can't seem to find any setting for colour depth in xrandr? [09:50] mtx_init: dont know, i am not using 9.10 [09:50] Hi all, could anyone recommend any books on Ubuntu Server Administration and/ or Bash Scripting [09:50] ok thanks [09:50] iceroot: when one installed the nvidia drivers it need a xorg.conf [09:51] mtx_init: as i said, by DEFAULT there is no xorg.conf === dehqan|bb is now known as dehqan|bbl [09:52] indietrash, Are you sure it's not just complaining during usplash ( before X starts )? [09:53] Anyone here experienced with turbovnc? [09:53] indietrash: I'm reading man xrandr, but seems like you're right, creating a xorg.conf should do it though, including SubSection Depth XX EndSubSection in your "Screen" section should do it [09:53] Jordan_U: I'm not sure if it is using 24-bit depth, but VBox complains when I start the vm, and it's horrible to use because it doesn't refresh properly. if I move away to another workspace, and then move back to the workspace containing the vm - it won't refresh the window. I'll see my web browser or whatever in that window, until I e.g. mark something on the desktop (in the vm) with the mouse, or move some windows around and so forth. [09:56] Hi guys, could somebody tell me what these desktop widgets are called: http://www.gnome-look.org/CONTENT/content-pre1/119767-1.jpeg (the clock, the weather one), thanks in advance. :) [09:57] that looks like windows 7 [09:57] wtf [09:57] yeah, it's a theme for ubuntu (Personally I do not like it) [09:57] mtx_init, it says arch linux in the menu [09:58] They used to be called gdesklets at one point, assuming this is even gnome. [09:58] is there any program like crosssover to install windows programes on linux? [09:58] indietrash, Consider the possibility that the two are not related. [09:58] Wine [09:58] nevermind mtx_init, didn't understand you correctly [09:58] ludesign, Those are probably made with conky [09:58] Jordan_U: so how do you check what colour depth you are utilizing in this Ubuntu thing? [09:58] Jordan_U, thanks. :) [09:58] viliny: I have disgust for the win7 Aero design. I hate flashy gui's [09:59] indietrash, /var/log/Xorg.0.log should have it if you can't find it anywhere else. [09:59] I have yet to even see Vista,,,xp was the last. [09:59] ludesign: maybe screelets or gdesklets [09:59] what packages provides the command "ip"? apt-cache search ip is not very usefull [09:59] mtx_init, yeah it's pretty bad. I just thought you thought the OS was W7 but i later realized that's not what you thought. [09:59] ludesign: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Screenlet?content=119767 [09:59] how to i change my dns server address without gui on ubuntu server 9.10 [09:59] does anybody know of a support channel for the ubuntu customization kit for remastering live cds? I'm wanting the boot cd to automaticly select "install without making any changes" and head straight to gui. [09:59] alankila, mtx_init - thanks. [09:59] saurabh_: sudo vi /etc/resolv.conf [10:00] darolu, thanks. :) [10:00] http://inkscape.org/doc/interpolate/tutorial-interpolate.en.html I can't find any "effects" menu in my Inkscape from the repository.. where has it gone? [10:00] does this line means that the computer started by "init 2" ? [10:00] root 1 0.0 0.0 10324 536 ? Ss Jan10 0:14 init [2] [10:01] any other methd? [10:01] i obtained it by " ps aux | grep init | grep -v grep" [10:01] who wanted ip [10:01] saurabh_: why? [10:01] saurabh_: its working [10:01] its ip2host [10:01] i cant find resolv.conf [10:01] saurabh_: create it [10:01] did it then what? [10:02] Jordan_U: k. it's 24-bit. any ideas why the window doesn't refresh properly though? [10:02] saurabh_: nameserver 192.168.0.81 [10:02] iceroot: its ip2conf i think [10:02] saurabh_: change with the ip of your nameserver [10:02] iceroot: ip2host i mean [10:02] indietrash, No. You can probably work around it by enabling compiz though. [10:02] !info ip2host [10:02] does that mean my ip or the default gateway? [10:03] Where is "interpolate" gone in Inkscape? [10:03] saurabh_: write a line like "nameserver ip" repalcing ip with the actual ip of your nameserver [10:03] ip2host (source: ip2host): Resolve IPs to hostnames in web server logs. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.09-4 (karmic), package size 8 kB, installed size 56 kB [10:03] Jordan_U: I just removed the horrible "visible effects" crap that the wm or whatever provides. vóila. [10:03] indietrash, ( the virtual desktop switch problem, not the overall slowness ) [10:03] mtx_init: not really [10:03] saurabh_: the dns-server [10:03] saurabh_: man resolv.conf, man interfaces tells you all you need to know on configuring your networking [10:03] Jordan_U: actually turning off the effects made it much more responsive, thankfully. [10:04] indietrash, I think I know what's happening. Do you have an ATI card? [10:04] Jordan_U: no. [10:04] after name server? [10:04] mtx_init: it was "iproute" [10:04] what is going on with the bug tracker, you can't file bugs any longer [10:04] saurabh_: nameserver IP-ADRRESS [10:04] indietrash, Ok, then I have no idea, but I'm glad it's working for you now :) [10:04] saurabh_: as i posted [10:04] ok glad ya got it [10:05] Jordan_U: vbox only gets 128mb memory though. might be that. but that's still strange because I've run e.g. Yoper with KDE 4 and all the visual effects with no trouble. [10:05] did it [10:05] then what next? [10:06] damn, you have to manually edit the url, that's horrible... [10:06] Hi folks, is it possible to tell the gnome panel to occupy a different xinerama screen (my xdpyinfo reports 900x2040 pixels over two monitors but the gnome panel is on the 'wrong' screen so to speak!) [10:06] saurabh_: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [10:06] hi all [10:07] saurabh u there ? [10:07] indietrash, If your graphics driver doesn't support redirected direct rendering that would explain some of the symptoms. But the only driver I can think of in 9.10 that doesn't would be the open source radeon driver ( and in 10.04 that will have it too ) [10:07] saurabh_: dont know if it is reading new dns-server without restarting [10:07] saurabh can u help me regarding the settings for vuze NAT prob ? [10:07] yes [10:08] changes to the resolver configuration file are instant [10:08] also auto eth0 is not showing in my interfaces file...its just showing auto lo [10:08] saurabh_: because you didnt configure eth0 yet [10:08] how to do that [10:08] didnt i tell you that just some minutes ago? [10:08] man interfaces [10:09] saurabh_: the networkcard is detected correctly? [10:09] i dunno [10:09] ifconfig -a [10:09] does it show eth0? [10:09] but when i do ifconfig [10:10] it shows non zero tx and rx packets [10:11] yeah because its not configure and not up [10:11] and on my desktop i only hv ethernet as a network ...source [10:13] saurabh_: do you want to use dhcp or static ips? [10:13] static ip [10:14] but if only ethernet is connected and packets are non zero that means eth is configured doesnt it? [10:16] My Ubuntu One is still not connecting [10:17] how do i get the volume control icon up? [10:17] hello. where can i download the 10.x alpha?

NOW how to get list of packages that have been upgrade or corrupted or changed after repository had been changed see dpkg.log http://pastebin.com/EEcE6bc9 [11:03] hi [11:03] dehqan, you should listen to what erUSUL is saying.

[11:09] dehqan: or clean reinstall [11:11] I am running google chrome 5.0.307.11 beta on Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron. A few days ago Ubuntu downloaded an update for google chrome. Since then youtube just shows a black window in place of the video area.

NOW how to get list of packages that have been upgrade or corrupted or changed after repository had been changed see dpkg.log http://pastebin.com/EEcE6bc9 [11:12] don't want upgrade to 9.10 or reinstall [11:13] dehqan: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:13] http://pastebin.com/hDe68zCj [11:13] dehqan, the advice provided above is the correct course of action; no need to repeat [11:15] bazhang: erUSUL maybe there is a way to collect name of package in this list http://pastebin.com/EEcE6bc9 and installing them from 9.04 rep [11:17] dehqan: i do not think that will work. [11:18] erUSUL: why ? [11:19] dehqan: no human can keep track of the package dependencies if you are goint to do this by hand [11:19] dog hour in the us.. [11:19] midday here :) [11:19] dehqan: and as i said multiple times. if you are in the middle of a dist upgrade you have to finish it wevwn if you later want to attemp a downgrade [11:19] erUSUL: it can be done with package manager [11:20] dehqan, I wouldn't recommend it [11:20] Can some one help me get my intel 5100 agn injecting packets?

[11:40] jimlovell777: Ty [11:40] MaT-dg1: you may need to install nautilus-share to have the right click option in nautilus [11:40] TardisGuy: if you install ubuntu last it should set up all OS [11:41] TardisGuy: Grub won't boot windows only load the windows bootloader, so you will need to get the windows dualboot working prior, as far as I know. [11:41] erUSUL: wait, did u mean the partition folder in /media? yes that works but I was wondering if I could do it directly from the location computer:/// in nautilus [11:41] I'm using Pidgin messenger how can I make it to display nick names like in messenger plus for windows?? [11:41] MaT-dg1: there is a way to do it; use it [11:41] What about httpd.conf? Why on earth is it empty? Or have i just found the wrong one?

[11:46] TardisGuy, that's normal [11:46] rishav: sudo chown root:root /etc/sudoers, then use "visudo" instead of whatever you did to edit sudoers, in the future. [11:46] This drive is easily capable of 30 MB/s [11:47] rww: i tried that.. and it gives the same error.. :-( .. [11:47] TardisGuy, what model is the drive? [11:47] has anyone here got extensive experience with clonezilla [11:47] TardisGuy, unless you come up with better hardware I fail to to see how that could change [11:47] WD "MyBook" [11:47] how to get list of packges that are in http://pastebin.com/EEcE6bc9 [11:47] 1TB sata + usb 2.x [11:48] TardisGuy, well that's the problem [11:48] TardisGuy, USB 2 is SLOW [11:48] dehqan: You want a list of just the installed packages?

I hope we _won't_ see it for very long :) [11:51] (meaning the boot is so quick you cannot enjoy the boot splash) [11:51] usb 2 transfers at over 50MB/s btw [11:51] TardisGuy, USB 3 is FAST.. [11:51] effectivly solving the problem [11:52] I wonder if USB3 is fast enough for external graphics cards :P [11:52] This new "brand" thingie. Does that mean ubuntu is changing the logo (circles with red,orange and yellow)?? or logo stays (hopefully)? [11:52] irrelevant. Why is usb 2.0 going slower than its rated to that significant extent. Does ubuntu need a driver? [11:52] TardisGuy: http://www.pronetworks.org/forums/install-windows-xp-in-dual-boot-with-pre-installed-windows-7-t104890.html discusses your request, if that is succesful, just installing ubuntu on to should be easy.. [11:52] Chousuke, nop [11:52] TardisGuy: *on top [11:53] but fast enough for a external disk to be the same speed as a internal one [11:53] TardisGuy, what are you using to benchmark the drive? [11:53] TardisGuy: What filesystem does it the drive have? [11:54] I know that with a full install of Ubuntu, and gnome, there is an app that tells you when you have security updates and lets you click one or two buttons to install them all. Is there a way to do taht at the command line? [11:54] The drive is NTFS and i benchmark by transferring files in windows [11:54] NTFS might be the problem [11:54] 480 Mb/b is a exsaggeration. That is is best. [11:54] dehqan: You mean you want to strip that list down to just the package names? [11:54] the fuse driver is not particularly fast as far as I know [11:54] and watching the transfer rate define as "30 MB/s" [11:54] you will never really achieve that. [11:54] if you want speed, you need to buy their optimised version ;P [11:54] jimlovell777: yes [11:54] Hi. I have a small problem. My software (Liferea) doesn't work - it won't start. But then, when I created and logged in with another user Liferea work! [11:54] Emry: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [11:55] what could be causing this? [11:55] dehqan: Any experience with regex? [11:55] zvacet, Will upgrade try to upgrade EVERYTHING, or is the distupgrade command still in place for that? :) Just want to make sure I don't aim for a few packages, and get a new OS. *grins* [11:55] jimlovell777: no [11:56] Liferea doesn't work with User1, but when I log in as User2 everything is ok. [11:56] is there anyone here that knows a fair bit about clonezilla? [11:56] 480 Mb/s is 60 MB/s [11:56] sudo apt-get update [11:56] ok can i teach Virtualbox to take over a physical drive for means of using recovery disk of windows 7 and being able to install windows XP from linux? [11:56] hi [11:56] and 40 is theoretically possible [11:56] Hey! My friends notebook won't boot from usb devices (don't know why) and the dvd drive is broken. Can I somehow make grub boot from an externak usb harddrive or a memory stick? (We're trying to reinstall ubuntu because it's broken) [11:56] Looking for doc on how to set windows 7 to share it's data with Ubuntu. [11:56] Emry: you will not finish with new version just upgrade packages of your existing version [11:57] !anyone | Jimi_Neutral [11:57] dehqan: you could try polity asking someone in #awk to create a regular expression that would parse out the package names [11:57] Jimi_Neutral: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [11:57] TardisGuy: I think you can just point virtualbox to a device file [11:57] TardisGuy: but you should read the manual [11:57] zvacet, I thought so, but I wanted to make sure. :) [11:57] Emry: np [11:57] because arand i have asked the question and i think it would be easier to find out if there is anyone actually in here that knwos about it first rather than keep typing it out [11:57] zvacet, *grins* Now as long as the video drivers don't go insane, everything should go fine. :P [11:57] jimlovell777, because doing it in Perl is better? [11:58] jimlovell777, awk is soo passe.. [11:58] Emry: you can do same thing in synaptic first refresh and then mark all updates [11:58] Younder: How dare you! lol [11:59] zvacet, :) I just don't want to walk to the other side of the house, so command line is fine. hehehehe :) [11:59] Emry: 8-) [12:00] can any on tell me why grub2 sux so bad tryed 4 time to install Ubuntu 9.10 on 2nd hd now i can log into either of my oses [12:00] hello, how do i open ps.Z files? [12:02] otswim: uncompress **.ps.Z [12:03] thanks adrian__ [12:03] Jimi_Neutral: But it is far easier to answer a question if it is typed out, rather than having to ask what the question are, just because someone knows clonezilla doesn't mean they can answer your question, similarly your queestion might be answered by someone who knows nothing about clonezilla if it happens to be more general. === patrick is now known as Guest24411 [12:04] yay got grub to install correctly im am not getting the no os error put /boot on hd1 and / on hd2 is 500mb big enough for /boot [12:04] arand, ok thnaks [12:04] otswim, never seen a .Z file for a while, hauffman compression [12:04] otswim, anyhow tar ahs a flag for it [12:04] has [12:04] hi guys , i managed to set up an ftp sever but i can find the folfer /home/ftp that it would supposed to created [12:05] any ideas?

You can tell vbox to 'access' an iso file as a cdrom device - theres NO need t omount it [12:55] what's wron with sudo su [12:55] solow: and you definatly dont use deamon tools to mount an iso for virtualbox to access..

[12:57] zetheroo: in this case, no; but cli is very convenient: you get explanations and useful error messages most of the time [12:57] Dr_Willis, So I should point it to an iso. Thanks [12:57] Younder: virtualbox can access an iso file directly as if its a cdrom drive. [12:57] solow: yes. its right there in the vbox settings [12:57] Dr_Willis, yes [12:57] solow: i test out linux live cd's all the time that way [12:57] me too [12:58] lol [12:58] Dr_Willis, It's good but i'ts not perfect [12:58] Dr_Willis, It's working.

I havent ever tried win7 [12:59] zetherooi: cant find screenlets from synaptic package manager [13:00] solow: just keep windows on its own little hd - just in case i need it [13:00] Dr_Willis, I've used UNIX and later Linux sustems for 20 or so years.

I just have a number of clients who I have switched from Windows to Ubuntu who are not too pleased when i tell them they have to resort to the terminal to do something so seemingly simple ... this is the main reason I groan ... not because I myself mind all that much, in fact i rather enjoy the command line, but because I am thinking of the greater group of users ... :) [13:01] Younder: yep. vbox has the feature all ready. so theres no need to mess with other stuff.. [13:01] Help! [13:01] :) [13:01] * Dr_Willis notices that people totally overlook the very decent virtualbox docs way too often.

[13:13] zetheroo, ;) indeed [13:13] thanks [13:14] internet is for p0rn [13:14] so... is any other being in here experiencing gvfsd-metadata cpu hogging? My system has only just starting hanging recently and I think a recent update pwned it [13:14] keito_: Failed to fetch http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org/dists/feisty/main/binary-i386/Packages 403 Forbidden [13:14] Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. [13:15] Guest85246: beryl is a dead project. Its not needed any more [13:15] Guest85246, lol, why are you adding feisty sources? [13:15] how do i format a usb drive to fat21? [13:15] Guest85246: And feisty is no longer supported. [13:15] fat32 even [13:15] I'm havinf trouble getting grub2 to update and add an entry for my windows 7 partition [13:15] g_: sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/XXXXX [13:15] Guest85246, you're running Karmic, feisty is no loner supported. [13:15] Guest85246, you need to register first [13:15] s/loner/longer/g [13:15] Younder, what? [13:15] thanks Dr_Willis [13:15] Guest85246, before you snort [13:16] AceKing: i set up a vpn connection with a network using vpnc .. but the problem is .. i get disconnected every time i shut down.. so i have to setup the connection every time using the commandline .. i was wondering if there is any setting to get past that [13:16] i run grub-mkconfig and it finds it fine [13:16] Younder: how i register [13:16] Guest85246, are you blingly following guides off the internet that are years old trying to get stuff done? that's a sure fire way to break your system [13:16] but the "grub-update" command doesnt exist [13:17] i try to do a grub install... but it doesnt update the menu [13:17] Guest85246, you can read can't you? :) [13:17] hellz_bellz: sudo update-grub [13:17] Guest85246, he was joking.... your telling your system to look for links to software repos that don't exist [13:17] Does anyone else here do preseeding? [13:17] hellz_bellz: its 'sudo update-grub' i belive [13:17] oh lol i had it backwards [13:17] Guest85246, just follow trough to the website. [13:17] ghufran, unfortunately that is the same problem I am having. I can't figure out how to keep it live [13:17] I'm trying to figure out how to preseed out the keyboard configuration and the hostname [13:17] thanks [13:17] !grub2 | hellz_bellz [13:17] hellz_bellz: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [13:18] i can't understand [13:18] I've got it so that it autofills in the hostname (but does not press enter), and the keyboard defaults to Afghanistan, but again does not press enter (I need it to default to USA) [13:18] Much of the emi automated C.... doesn't work [13:18] Guest85246, maybe it's time to read through the Ubuntu Pocket Guide before going any further. You're asking for trouble, you've added a source that no longer exists, and I doubt you have the knowledge to remove it again [13:18] Guest85246: No disrespect intended, is english your first language? [13:18] is this list ok for set-selection http://pastebin.com/bZJywtKa [13:19] Guest85246, check you pm [13:19] no [13:19] Guest85246: and Beryl is dead. compiz has absorbed it. [13:19] i'm egyptian [13:19] Guest85246: perhaps try an appropriate channel for your primary language so the help makes more sense to you. [13:20] Guest85246, I said check your pm, not tell me where you;re from [13:20] * keito_ gives up [13:20] jazzz [13:20] keito_: He was responding to my question.

[13:20] if i install ubuntu again the problem will be solved or not [13:20] Guest85246: i dont think we even KNOW what the actual problem is any more [13:21] Guest85246: Depends on the problem. Compiz comes installed and screenlets is as easy as opening synaptic and marking it for installation [13:21] Guest85246: Please try a channel where they speak a language you understand better. Is there no Egyptian specific channel for ubuntu? [13:21] /join #xbins [13:21] Guest85246, yes... but next time readguides that are for the version of ubuntu you actually install [13:21] i guess Guest85246 is using feisty, is it still supported? [13:22] Dr_Willis, he wants to install screenlets and remove a dead source [13:22] * jimlovell777 always fears my client isn't catching my IRC commands before they hit the chat...

[13:23] :> [13:23] yes [13:23] hi! i have an external harddrive, which becomes mounted in gnome through fuse and ntfs-3g. it's mount as 700, so other users on the system can't read any of the files. can i change this to 755 - if so, how?

[13:23] putones [13:23] hoolaa soi nacho [13:23] mentira soi pepa [13:24] delivos: try installing/running the ntfs-config tool. it has some check bocx's that might change that.

Is that a screenshot or picture? [13:29] screenshot [13:29] tuxican: Is your VGA/HDMI/whatever-cable damaged or not plugged in correctly? [13:29] it should be okay [13:30] tuxican: If you're not sure, please check [13:30] lll [13:30] clrg: it does look like a screen going bad but a screenshot wouldn't capture a hardware issure. It would have to be in software. [13:30] hi all [13:30] tuxican, is this only occurring in a terminal window? [13:30] I have that problem everywhere [13:30] /server irc.inet.tele.dk [13:31] quit [13:31] exit [13:31] in gnome [13:31] guys, I'm trying to run an .exe install that I've read requires Mono. Now, I've also read that Ubuntu comes with Mono. What do I need to do to, since what my system does now is just open the .exe like an archive that it is? [13:31] tuxican, which video card and driver version? [13:31] tuxican: Did you install any graphics related software lately? Like drivers, compiz, GUI environment? [13:31] and in awesome, too [13:31] shooree: it requires mono? or IS a mono exe?

As you can see, it just says I need Mono. which I already have. [13:34] madjoe: you said it does not work :s [13:34] Guest85246, seriously though, read up on Ubuntu Pocket Guide, otherwise you're in for a rough ride [13:34] dehqan: cat (http://pastebin.com/bZJywtKa this list) | xargs sudo aptitude install [13:34] Dr_Willis: got it! thanks! this is what I wanted.. to be writable just by admin..

[14:45] for low end machines is 2x i guess [14:45] not sure, tho [14:45] if you need to hibernate, 1.2 times amount of RAM or something is probably okay [14:45] for sleep,1 time,is need [14:45] Swap ammount depends mor eon the system. then any rule of thumnb. [14:45] you can always add more swap later anyway [14:45] :) [14:45] right dr wills got me cam working ;) [14:45] if you got 128mb of ram.. you proberly want more then 2x ram for swap :P [14:46] now,hd is so cheap [14:46] Chousuke, seems like i need maybe 500MB more on swpa partition :D I got two ntfs partitions, one / ext 3, can i resize some and add it to the swap? is it safe? [14:46] in fact, swap partitions are rather silly nowadays [14:46] maybe,do not mind 2 G [14:46] archman: you can get a file as swap [14:46] wzssyqa i know [14:46] since you can just do dd if=/dev/zero of=swapfile bs=1M count=1024 && mkswap swapfile && swapon swapfile to add a gigabyte :P [14:47] I always just keep 512mb of swap on every hd on every system i got and dont worry about it. :) [14:47] If you allocate too much swap and find that Linux is favouring it over RAM a bit too much, you can play with the swappiness value. [14:47] You cant hibernate/suspend to a swapfile.. i belive. [14:47] wzssyqa i know, that's why i want to remove the swap and use that space as for the swapfile [14:47] Dr_Willis, tuxonice? [14:47] archman: you can use 2 swaps [14:47] archman: Not tried that. [14:48] http://www.tuxonice.net [14:48] Chousuke: so... you don't need a physical swap partition? [14:48] You can use 10+ swap partions :P f ya wanted to [14:48] archman: 1 phy,1 file [14:48] gwtl: correct [14:48] So ive been doing more reading. Question: If i were to install a command line and apt-get ubuntu-desktop and Kubuntu-desktop on two seperate users (homes) would that eliminate the icon redundancy i get when i instal two variants? [14:48] lol [14:48] dont put the swap file on a NFS fileserver. :) [14:48] erm.. [14:48] what is the way to secure surfing in Ubuntu? Can anonymity be enjoyed while browsing ? [14:48] gwtl: you might need one for hibernation though. I haven't checked. :P [14:48] Chousuke: ah [14:49] don't know what to do...i might shrink of of ntfs partitions [14:49] and add it to the swap then [14:49] 有没有湖南人？ [14:49] i wanna try that hibernate [14:49] seems cool [14:49] !cn | sushuangping [14:49] sushuangping: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [14:49] better than speel [14:49] Chousuke: hmmm, that would be the main use for swap (main as in using most of it) [14:49] sleep* [14:49] sushuangping: go to #ubuntu-cn [14:49] anyone know how to change out xulrunner-dev versions in aptitude? or will this break things, I'm trying to install mongodb and I'm getting dependency problems [14:49] xulrunner-dev: Depends: xulrunner-1.9.1-dev (>= 1.9.1.3+build1+nobinonly) but it is not going to be installed [14:50] good [14:50] TardisGuy, no. when you run apt-get you install systemwide, not to homedirs. The icon redundancy happens when users log in with more than one type of session, and the DE saves all of its icons to ~/Desktop [14:50] Chousuke, can i just unmount this ntfs partition from which i wanna take 500MB and add it to the swap (when swapoff)? [14:50] will I break my PC if I will turn it on and turn it off every day for 1 - 2 hours? [14:51] archman, is the partition on the same drive you have linux installed to? [14:51] ssv1994: no, back when I had windows 95 I used to do that every day === emachala_ is now known as emachala [14:51] archman: you mean unmount, resize, make swap, add swap? :/ [14:51] OK, so I'm in KDE now :) [14:51] archman: or what? [14:51] eurythmia, no :) [14:51] pigdude: a great speed [14:51] eurythmia, partition is ntfs (ex-windows :D) [14:52] GVim doesn't appear in the KMenu... [14:52] question - would reformatting my harddrive from ext3 to ext4 improve boot performance? Im using 9.04 [14:52] archman, then yeah, you can unmount all drives on the partition, resize the ntfs partition, and then do your magic ;) [14:52] HI all! Is there an app other than audacity for cutting/pasting music? Audiacity is having problems on my machine. [14:52] archman, (*safely*) [14:52] Chousuke: unmount, resize ntfs, add swap, join to swap :D possible? [14:52] archman: sure. [14:52] archman: there's no need to turn off swap at any point either [14:52] eurythmia, Chousuke, thanks :) [14:52] mguy: thanks, I just didn't knew anything about my question [14:52] archman: you can add and remove swap partitions or files dynamically [14:52] major_redhat: Not worth it, get an SSD if it bothers you that much [14:52] archman, oops, slydexia strikes again: s/all drives on the partition/all partitions on the drive/ [14:53] !info mhwaveedit | dsnyders [14:53] s/slydexia/slysdexia/ [14:53] dsnyders: mhwaveedit (source: mhwaveedit): Simple and fast GTK2 sound editor. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.4.15-2ubuntu1 (karmic), package size 350 kB, installed size 940 kB [14:53] mguy: i would do that but I've heard that ubuntu will drastically reduce the lifespan of an SSD [14:53] eurythmia ;) [14:53] euythmia: thank you kindly for your response however i mean to say the programs it installs, i see it in the menus. For example KDE's "explorer" (forgot the name) will appear on gnomes menu. [14:54] major_redhat: Lies! [14:54] archman, :) [14:54] hello...i have an issue with eclipse and GTK2 libs...i have installed libgtk and glibc...i can compile program from console and it works...but from eclipse it won't...i have entered alll paths of CFLAG in include dir and i still get this msg: undefined reference to `gtk_init'...any suggestion? [14:54] mguy: and plus i have no money for it :P [14:54] major_redhat: Well just be patient. How often do you reboot anyway? [14:54] Thanks erUSUL. Audacity is the second program to stop working properly since my upgrade to 9.04 [14:54] hey guys, what prog is this guy spoofing with? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVbWBoR4E64 [14:54] Chousuke, hmm, can i maybe see somewhere, how much EXACTLY maximum swap space will i ever need with this setup now? i don't want to resize now, and then end up with "34 bytes more required" :D [14:54] mguy: i dual boot win7 and ubuntu 9.04, and 9.04 takes roughly 15-16 seconds according to bootchart [14:54] does anybody know how to get GTK programs to use the keyboard in KDE [14:54] archman: that's impossible to know for sure [14:55] Chousuke, ok [14:55] archman: it depends entirely on what you do [14:55] archman: how much RAM do you have? [14:55] ola [14:55] Chousuke, 1.22GB! [14:55] qeners [14:55] archman: 2GB should be plenty, then [14:55] Chousuke, yes... [14:55] major_redhat: That's too long? [14:55] quien ers [14:55] any exp with eclipse+GTK+CPP? [14:55] mguy: and to answer your question i reboot at least once or twice a day from windows into linux [14:55] llo [14:55] putos [14:56] y you [14:56] Chousuke, you said 10-20% + on phy mem or something? [14:56] !es | wanso [14:56] wanso: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [14:56] mguy: no its not too long i was just curious as to whether the change from ext3 to ext4 would have any performance benifits [14:56] you realize he's swearing [14:56] me voywapo [14:56] calling you all pussy'd [14:57] major_redhat, If your machine has the "horsepower" run one of your OSs in a virtual machine. [14:57] dsnyders: i dual boot because of kdenlive [14:57] What's the best place to ask about the Ubuntu Team Wiki license? [14:57] #ubuntu-doc doesn't have too many people. [14:58] dsnyders: and compiz too [14:58] umang: maybe,some mailing list [14:58] umang, that's where I'd point you anyway. You're likely to get a higher-quality/more reliable response there. [14:58] major_redhat, Sorry, not familiar with kdenlive. What's keeping you on windows? [14:58] Red_HamsterX, I tried yesterday and today. Nobody replied... [14:59] dsnyders: specialy programs that i need for my job at school [14:59] umang, cross-reference the usernames against Launchpad and find someone who seems important, then highlight them. [14:59] wzssyqa, I'll see. Maybe The documentation team's if they have a public one. [14:59] dsnyders: and if i had the money, i would totally get a second 7200 rpm 2.5 hard drive and install 9.04 entirely on it [14:59] Red_HamsterX, Are you sure that's not a rude thing to do? [15:00] umang, IRC highlights aren't usually considered rude if you have a good reason for singling out an individual. Unsolicited PMs are bad, though. [15:00] Red_HamsterX, OK. Thanks. :) [15:00] dsnyders: and plus my T400 gets roughly 6 hours of battery life when I run win7, compared to 2 or 3 from ubuntu [15:01] why is win 7 better with the battery life? [15:01] umang, it would probably help to start by saying "I have a question about the Wiki license and I noticed that you're a major contributor. Can you answer a few questions?" or something like that. [15:01] bran_: optmized drivers most likely [15:02] Red_HamsterX, Thanks! :) Will do that. [15:02] major_redhat, My HP used to get 7 hours. Now it's down to something like 15-20 minutes. [15:02] bran_: What you mean to say is why is Windows 7 better with battery life out of the box? === bryan is now known as Guest33318 [15:03] bran_, linux is notoriously bad when it comes to laptop battery usage. [15:03] is there a way to keep gnome icons aligned to the right instead of automagically going to the left ? [15:03] you have to change the batteries about 1 a year [15:03] dsnyders: I don't think that's a fair generalization. It all depends on how good you are at optimizing [15:03] 2 if you discharge 1nce a month [15:05] my acer gets about equal battery life w/o any tweeks [15:05] xp and ubuntu tho [15:05] askhader, Is there a distro that comes tuned for laptops? [15:05] cant speak to win 7 [15:07] bran_: i have a customized mode in Lenovo's power management utility [15:08] hi, I just removed old unused kernel modules, but GRUB still finds the boot image files; how can I remove those useless entries? [15:08] bran_: sorry about the delayed response [15:08] Yanick_: rerun Update-grub [15:08] I just did [15:08] no problem, any tweaks beyond power management? [15:08] it found everything [15:09] bran_: 9 - cell battery count? [15:09] Yanick_: you dident remove Just the modules? but the kernels as well? You may of missed somthing [15:09] I don't know why, I don't have linux-kernel-2.6.31-14 installed, but the boot image is still there [15:10] Yanick_: did you copy a kernel there,yourself? [15:10] Dr_Willis, I specified in Synaptic to "completely remove" the linux-headers-2.x.x-x and it did, but grub still finds initrd-2.x.x-x, etc. === zz_FeiRuoWa is now known as FeiRuoWa [15:10] wzssyqa, of course not [15:10] wzssyqa, always used Synaptic [15:11] Yanick_: i always just cheat and use the Ubuntu-tweak tool to clean mine.. when i bother to clean out kernels. :) [15:11] Yanick_, As far as I know, you have to manually remove boot images. Grub has a mechanism for only showing the most recent, but it only drops them from the menu, not the machine. [15:11] Yanick_: del it [15:11] wel.... this should get fixed in the uninstall process [15:11] dsnyders: how old was your laptop? [15:11] major_redhat, two years, maybe three. [15:12] so just configured all my hardware , looking to optimize mt ubuntu box , any advice? [15:12] boot time [15:12] major_redhat, Original battery. [15:12] wzssyqa, alright. wasn't sure it was safe; I was asking first [15:12] dsnyders: 15 - 20 minutes sounds about right for the original battery [15:12] Dr_Willis, where is the grub menu.lst file in Ubuntu 9.10 ? [15:12] Yanick_: have a livecd [15:12] yanick , boot [15:13] Yanick_: and move the files [15:13] ./boot/grub [15:13] major_redhat, The thing that irks me is that the fall-off isn't gradual. Two weeks ago I was getting 30-45 minutes of battery life, then poof! 15 minutes. === ce_cinta is now known as cew___smarty [15:13] Yanick_ grub2 does it differently [15:14] leander_craig, menu.lst is neither in /boot nor /boot/grub [15:14] Yanick_: it depens whether you upgrade or new-install [15:14] !grub2 | Yanick_ [15:14] Yanick_: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [15:14] Dr_Willis, will that be in 10.04? [15:14] Yanick_: its still under boot [15:14] Yanick_, did you remove linux-headers _and_ linux-image?? [15:14] dsnyders: have you ever performed a battery reset? (if your power manager utility allows you to do that) [15:15] Yanick_: grub2 is also in 10.04 and its in 9.04 [15:15] chili555, on the 2.6.31-14 that I don't have the package installed anymore only so far [15:15] chili555, yes [15:15] or was it 9.10.. i get my #'s wrong [15:15] yanick , mine is right there 9.10 -- try -- gksudo nautilus , unhide files .. [15:15] major_redhat, I tried that back when my battery lasted about an hour. It didn't change things any. [15:15] how to make a keyboard shortcut for any application? e.g. I want a keyboard shortcut for pidgin. likewise (in future I wll create for thunderbird etc etc) [15:16] abhi_nav: the gconf editor tool lets you do that. or 'ubuntu-tweak' tool [15:16] dsnyders: the majority of the batteries we get at my college (all 9-cell, 85 Whr) tend to die a month after the 1 year warranty has expired [15:16] abhi_nav: or i think compiz settings can also doit [15:16] leander_craig, in the console, the files does not exist [15:16] Dr_Willis: how to do that? I also have compiz [15:16] abhi_nav: system -> perference [15:16] abhi_nav: check the settings [15:16] !ccsm | abhi_nav [15:16] abhi_nav: 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 [15:16] ubuntu wiki is sloooooow :( [15:17] leander_craig, unless this is Windows, ls -a should list all files.... menu.lst is NOT in /boot/grub [15:17] kismet isnt showing me the essid, how to fix? [15:17] leander_craig: grub2 dosent use a menu.lst it has other names [15:17] Dr_Willis: & wzssyqa: in system=preferences=keyboard shortcuts it is asking for name and command. what is the command? [15:17] eeh , is there a grub2 any where [15:17] abhi_nav: whatever command you want to run [15:17] abhi_nav: which application? [15:17] Dr_Willis: i want to open pidgin [15:18] wqssyq: pidgin [15:18] leander_craig: grub.cfg [15:18] abhi_nav: pidgin [15:18] abhi_nav: see what the pidgin icon launches.. [15:18] yeah just type in pidgin for the command [15:18] Dr_Willis: means? how to see that? [15:18] alright. manually deleting the vmlinuz-* and initrd.img-* files, then updating grub seems to work [15:18] abhi_nav: use the menu editor.. or drag the ocon from the menu to the desktop and check its properties [15:19] Dr_Willis: and where is keyboard shortcut option in compiz setting? [15:19] this should be done automatically when removing linux-headers-* packages [15:19] abhi_nav: the programer is hunman [15:19] <[diablo]> bravo Ubuntu... at last we have decent brand artwork and colors :-) bring on the dancing girls ;-) [15:19] Dr_Willis: ok [15:19] keyboard sgortcuts in preferences [15:19] abhi_nav: in there some where.. but if you are using the gnome tools. You dont want to use the compiz ones === brian_ is now known as temporarytao [15:19] <[diablo]> looks great btw [15:19] Hi, is it possible with gparted, to break up a partition and make two? for example, I have ubuntu as one partition at the moment, at the size of 500 GB, can I break it up, so I have One ubuntu, and one windows? [15:19] Without formatting [15:19] Dr_Willis: actually I dotn know what gnome tools is. where it is located? should need to download it? or it is already in my pc? [15:20] abhi_nav: some one mentioned it earlier.. or use the gconf editor.. or the ubuntu-tweak tool [15:20] alright, rebooting now [15:21] Dr_Willis: Please tell me where these tools are. I dont know in details about them. [15:21] abhi_nav: gee.. the perferances -> Keyboard shortcuts ... seems a logicel place... [15:21] Dr_Willis: I am there only. [15:21] abhi_nav: or you INSTALL ubuntu-tweak or learn to use the gconf editor.. (not reccomended) [15:22] hello [15:22] I am looking for a canal irc with programming [15:22] abhi_nav: drag the menu entry to gedit [15:22] help someone ? [15:22] abhi_nav: and you can see how it words [15:22] all, does anyone know where I can set the default browser to use when I click on a link in an application? [15:22] works [15:22] abhi_nav: add a new one.. set the shortcut [15:23] Dr_Willis: and wzssyqa: ok Done!!! I have added shortcut usign command 'pidgin'. Thankyou for help. :) [15:23] trelayne: prefered applathon [15:23] never mind trying something out first [15:23] got it [15:23] sorry should have asked Google first :-( [15:24] I did it byt I can find... [15:24] *but [15:24] *can't [15:24] sorry [15:24] koniu: What language? [15:24] polish [15:24] guys, shouldn't nautilus stop showing thumbnails of vids and pics with no read permissions? [15:25] koniu: I meant what programming language, sorry :) [15:25] i just realised if i put no read permissions on my private pix lib, everybody can still see the thumbnails [15:25] i know i can disable thumbs, but i don't want that [15:26] wzssyqa, m, do I have to relogin to take effect? [15:27] hello, I'm having trouble trying to install ubuntu 9.10 on a compaq presario 900, it just goes to a black screen and nothing happens when I try to install it. [15:27] private pix lib, eh?

If you want to chat, you can join #ubuntu-offtopic [15:30] hi all! [15:30] I still cant figure out how to disable that annoying 'This Disk is a Photo Disk Open [fprot]' message at the top of the files area in the fule manager. :) [15:30] its annoying because its always WRONG. :) [15:31] bye! [15:31] quit [15:31] have you tried other distros or version of ubuntu/ [15:31] ? [15:31] exit [15:31] HEY why is ubuntu shipping me a kismet a year out of date?!?! [15:31] bran_ no just this one [15:31] ubuntu 9.10 desktop edition [15:32] hmm have you tested the disc integreity? [15:32] cyberbluntz: ubuntu updates everything every 6 months with each new release. Thats how it works. [15:32] cyberbluntz: if you want newest use PPA repos or source. [15:32] bran_ when I try to check disk integrety on the laptop it freezes up, when I burned the disk on my desktop I checked that it burned correctly [15:33] yo no quiero hablar en ingles [15:33] aniita: entra en #ubuntu-es [15:33] everytime i try to compile something i get tons of errors [15:33] aniita: ahi hablan español [15:33] I downloaded the source and headers [15:33] cyberbluntz: you need to install all needed dev and lib-dev packages the program needs [15:33] what does "SAUCE" mean in the ubuntu kernel patches? [15:34] and actually mr.willis, they shipped me a ver from 08 [15:34] cyberbluntz: the apt-get build-deps command can help woth that [15:34] ok ty [15:35] so, anywhere to grab the new theme yet for testing ? [15:35] cyberbluntz: The version that is in Ubuntu is the same one that is in Debian. [15:35] im sure this has been asked a few billion times already heh [15:35] E: Invalid operation build-deps [15:35] is it debs? [15:35] no [15:35] zicada: thers tons of 'themse that may be in 10.04' packages/repos out :) [15:35] cyberbluntz: apt-get build-dep packagename [15:35] I assume it'd be in the repositories and you could update to grab it. [15:36] !apt | cyberbluntz [15:36] cyberbluntz: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) [15:36] compwiz vs beryl [15:36] If not, no idea. [15:36] !beryl | leander_craig [15:36] leander_craig: Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion. New Beryl installs are discouraged. See also !compiz [15:36] hey gents, having some trouble with mysql replication. i have slave io running yes, but slave sql running no [15:36] leander_craig: beryl is dead [15:36] hello [15:36] wow [15:36] leander_craig: so thers no comparison [15:36] what replaced beryl? [15:36] is audacity 1.3.11 exists on hardy ? [15:36] major_redhat: compiz did. [15:36] Dr_Willis: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Brand [15:36] Dr_Willis: i mean that [15:36] vaix SAUCE refers to the fact that this patch might not go upstream, but we need to [15:36] +# carry it to successive releases. [15:36] pici , why ? [15:37] leander_craig: Why? Because thats what the Compiz and Beryl developers decided. === ara_ is now known as ara [15:37] leander_craig: beryl has been dead i think for like 2 years now [15:37] Dr_Willis: figured [15:37] oh is it thats news @ wills [15:37] :P [15:38] Youve been under a rock :) or somthing hehe [15:38] new to ubuntu :P [15:38] leander_craig: not really ubuntu related.. other disrtos are also using compiz-fusion which is what they called it when they merged beryl and compiz [15:39] dr_wills , windows dosent :P [15:39] Of course it's going to take a big hit soon, since Gnome 3.0 won't support it for compositing, unless the devs have changed their minds on that. [15:40] hi all. im using ubuntu server, and im trying to figure out how to properly create a single logical drive out of two physical drives. ive read up on Parted, but i dont quite understand where to start. does what i want to do require both Parted and an LVM install? [15:40] or do i just install using the entire disk of one of the drives, and Parted will bring in the other? [15:40] LVM install just seems to create a small partition on one of the drives [15:41] Hi, is it possible with gparted, to break up a partition and make two? for example, I have ubuntu as one partition at the moment, at the size of 500 GB, can I break it up, so I have One ubuntu, and one windows? [15:42] knxville: Yep, quite easy, in fact. [15:42] knxville: yes ,you can [15:42] DodoBird, alright.. thanks. [15:42] Although there is a problem, come to think of it... [15:43] DodoBird, what should that be? [15:43] knxville: it is a time cost work [15:43] It's not with the partition, but rather that Windows overwrites GRUB as it installs. Or it used to, anyhow. [15:43] after installing windows just use a ubuntu live cd to reinstall grub [15:43] any news about opening beta of ubuntu music store? [15:43] At which point you'll need to boot back into Linux with a LiveCD or USB key or something, and fix up grub... yeah, what he said. [15:44] ciastek: I assume it's still a ways off, unless they mentioned something yesterday that I missed. [15:44] DodoBird, do you have a guide or anything? [15:44] knxville: Afraid not. I'm not on my Linux machine atm. It's a pretty common thing to do... just search for a guide and I'm sure someone will have put one up. === phonic_ is now known as phonic [15:45] DodoBird, Alright, thanks [15:45] knxville: for grub2 on ubuntu 9.10, this works https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2#Recover Grub 2 via LiveCD [15:45] a [15:45] Ola [15:45] ola [15:45] trism, isnt that after I created a new partition?

[15:48] but cant seem to find the libncurses or libcurses [15:49] I have ubuntu copied over from an external disk. But abot the third time boot it up it freezes. I am able to get into it through failsafe Gnome what should i do? [15:49] !find libcurses [15:49] Found: libruby, libcurses-ocaml, libcurses-ocaml-dev, libcurses-perl, libcurses-ruby (and 3 others) [15:49] I'm trying to compile a prog and need these files [15:49] i please need some help with sed ... i would like, in a folder, to replace EVERY !libncurses5-dev | cyberbluntz [15:49] I have purchased a Verbatim disk, it is formated FAT32. I have lost 150 Go of files... Even when I show the hidden files, even in the .trashes... there is nothing... but when I do a df command, it tells me that I only have 350 Go free... My 150Go files are not digitally gone... but where are they? [15:50] good nough [15:50] cyberbluntz: well the bot it acting strange, but that's the library [15:50] hello [15:50] hi! [15:50] ty [15:50] do you speak french ?!? [15:50] I do [15:50] chiiiiiz, did you lost some file or just have the available space counter wrong? [15:50] non [15:50] i do, too [15:51] !fr | chiiiiiz [15:51] chiiiiiz: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr, ou #ubuntu-qc pour les Quebecois [15:51] chiiiiiz, did you lost some file or just have the available space counter wrong? [15:51] ok merci !!! [15:51] Nitsuga: I did lost files... as far as I know, I did not empty the bin... but I can't find my files anywhere [15:52] #ubuntu-fr for french [15:52] Now for the libpcap? [15:52] chiiiiiz, did you try to use baobab to find the files? [15:52] I guess they are still on the disk, but the "catalog" that says where they are does not find them... otherwise it would says I have my 500 Go free [15:52] baobab? I did not know this* [15:53] chiiiiiz, alt f2> baobab [15:53] cyberbluntz: apt-cache search -n package_name; will generally find the libraries you need [15:53] thx [15:53] chiiiiiz, and click explore filesystem [15:53] that going into my cmd list [15:53] cyberbluntz: sudo apt-get build-dep [15:53] cyberbluntz: sudo apt-get build-dep PACKAGENAME [15:54] I have ubuntu copied over from an external disk. But abot the third time boot it up it freezes. I am able to get into it through failsafe Gnome what should i do? [15:54] Nitsuga: work on progress... thanks [15:54] I just updated my 9.10 box and now I can't log in at the GDM screen... I was able to switch to a VC, stop GDM, and startx successfully... Anyone else experiencing this? [15:54] o its build dep not deps? [15:54] This is actually the second box this has happened to me on... both 9.10 machines [15:54] guys, do you know if apt uses its own fetch program or wget or something? [15:55] cyberbluntz: tab completion works for a great many commands to fill in arguments... and theres the docs :) [15:55] chiiiiiz, good luck ;) === tracy is now known as Holzster [15:55] thx doc [15:55] DodoBird, What filesystem is the optimal for windows? [15:55] can I call you doc? [15:55] Running 9.10, took an update this morning and now all I get is a blank ubuntu screen after inputting login /username info [15:55] Nitsuga: it has analysed the Verbatim disk: it has found nothing... so I guess the free space counter must be wrong... [15:55] mrkim: I'm getting the same thing... [15:56] Anyone know what the problem is? [15:56] chiiiiiz, baobab is a free space explorer [15:56] chiiiiiz, look for a big folder with your files [15:56] i have to go. [15:56] knxville: I generally stick with NTFS, but I'm not running Linux and Windows on the same machine. If I recall, it's easy enough for Linux to now deal with NTFS paritions using FUSE, though. [15:56] I am on a second machine an have done the update but not yet restarted [15:56] so this will do all the ./configure, make, and make install? [15:57] chiiiiiz, but to reset the free space counter use fsck-vaft after umounting the partition. [15:57] cyberbluntz: No. That will get and install the package's build dependencies. Like all those -dev packages that you're looking for now. [15:57] !checkinstall | cyberbluntz You should also look into using checkinstall [15:57] cyberbluntz You should also look into using checkinstall: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! [15:58] thyanks [15:58] ./wi Pici [15:58] wow, i never knew about checkinstall. [15:58] that sounds really helpful. [15:58] anyone besides kaje and myself having problems logging in after update today? [15:59] knxville, read and write from NTFS works fine now, aside from occasional permission issues. [15:59] if a older version is in the repos that 'build-dep' option saves a LOT of time in compiling new versions [16:00] anyone know of a microsoft project alternative ( i have tried open-proj and found it buggy) [16:00] How could my Ubuntu be booting without Grub? [16:00] I have tried going into recovery mode and chosen repair, etc. but it says there are no issues [16:00] Gibby, Lilo? [16:00] ooh, got a new wireshark dev too [16:00] I also tried booting into an older kernel version and still the same result [16:01] Gibby, or the windows one, I forget what it is called [16:01] sam_, I do not see Lilo being installed either [16:01] windowz bootloader or something? [16:01] How to turn wlan0 into an access point? [16:02] still missed the libl-devel [16:02] sam_, nope no windows either [16:02] dunno then, sorry [16:02] if you guys might want to fix that [16:02] I think Grub is installed but I do not have a menu.lst, when I try to run grub, it tells me it is not installed [16:02] how come my numlock dont work [16:02] hey i have a new Gateway from best buy i have copied over, using Gparted, the partition i used for ubuntu to a partition on my laptop. i can boot into the computer, but when i use regular GNOME it fails. but if i use failsafe everything is fine. any suggestions [16:02] If I install grub, will it mess anything up since I have a custom kernel and everything.... [16:03] how i can change my resolution in my Virtual Machine for ubuntu ? http://img2.pict.com/fa/b0/6e/3030542/0/scr009.jpg [16:03] Gibby it shouldn't depending on if you know how to set it up [16:03] Mohammad[B], try to change in the the microsoft program [16:03] mrkim: I worked around it, but I'm still not sure what caused it... [16:03] Mohammad[B]: install the vbox guest addations. [16:03] Luke_, so I should just be able to do apt-get install grub? [16:04] which is the best im client with webcam support for ubuntu? [16:04] yes [16:04] Anyone have suggestions with a boot up problem since the most recent update in 9.10? [16:04] what is linux-image-2.6.31-20-generic-pae mean...mostly I am curious about the pae part? [16:04] Luke_, it says I have grub-pc installed and it will remove that to install grub [16:04] but i would consider how many partitions you have firsrt [16:04] HELP!!! Something's blocking the /var/cache/debconf/config.dat file, and i can't use tasksel! [16:04] my other ubuntu box just says generic [16:04] bin1010: lets 32bit kernel handle more then 4gb ram.. rarely needed [16:04] bin1010: it support big mem [16:04] Is this a help channel? [16:05] ah....thanks [16:05] inja: yes [16:05] inja: Yes, this is the Official Ubuntu Support Channel [16:05] Dr_Willis, where is this "vbox guest addations" ? [16:05] how do i enable my numlock [16:05] hello [16:05] Luke_, I have 2 750gb harddrives in a raid1 with a lvm on top of that then 6 logical volumes [16:05] how are you? [16:05] Mohammad[B]: in the vbox menus.. and check the vbox docs to learn more about them [16:05] mrkim: Switch to a VC (Ctrl + Alt + F1) and log in. Then delete ~/.gnome2 and ~/.gnome2_private. Shut down gdm (sudo service gdm stop). Start up X manually (startx). Log out of that session. Start up gdm (sudo service gdm start). And it seems to be fixed... [16:05] ubuntu......have I told you that you are doing a great job today? you are.... [16:06] bin1010: pae roughly means you can use more than ~3.4GB of memory on 32bit, wikipedia has a good page in Physical Address Extension if you want to dig further. [16:06] then i would use pc-grub or, maybe its grub-pc [16:06] Some of those steps may be unnecessary, but that's exactly what I did to fix things... [16:06] try sudo apt-get install pc-grub if that doesnt work try sudo apt-get install grub-pc [16:06] I hate to be dumb kaje but when do I make that switch to VC? [16:07] kaje: you may want to be more specific about .gnome2, if you delete that whole folder also gedit plugins and nautilus scripts go down the drain [16:07] Luke_, it says grub-pc is already at its newest [16:07] I don't miss Windows at all...sure wish though that open office was a closer replacement to MS office.... programs that produce rtf don't look same in OO as they do in MS Word... :( [16:07] I'll go restart, sec. [16:07] then try update-grub [16:07] sudo update-grub [16:07] Gibby: grub-pc is grub2 whareas if you install the grub package you'll get grub-legacy (grub1) [16:08] !grub2 | Gibby [16:08] Gibby: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [16:08] VCoolio: Oh I didn't know that... I don't use either of those. [16:08] arand, I see that, just found the readme for it, i just ran update-grub and it found 5 images [16:08] mrkim: You switch to the VC first [16:09] Gibby: Note that grub2 doesn't use menu.lst but grub.cfg which is edited indirectly through /etc/default/grub [16:09] mrkim: Virtual console just lets you log in to your system without any graphics involved [16:09] hello [16:09] :) [16:09] !hi | nuki [16:09] nuki: 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! [16:09] then you shoud be good at boot it should list all images and OSes but if you find that you can't boot try super grub disk i suggest burning a copy before shutting down the computer [16:10] Anyone got any good project management software tips (not openproj) [16:10] Luke_, already got it, just trying to boot to SU without a disk so I can resize a LV [16:10] which is the best im client with webcam support for ubuntu? [16:10] ok [16:10] mrkim and VCoolio: I'm not sure that all those steps are required to get gdm working again. If I had to bet, I would say that it is actually the logging off of the X session you started with startx that is cleaning something up that the update screwed up... [16:10] http://xkcd.com/456/ [16:10] so true [16:10] at least wt you guys recommend? [16:11] solow: #ubuntu-offtopic < ;) [16:11] why. people here don't like to laugh once in a while? [16:11] hey i have a new Gateway from best buy i have copied over, using Gparted, the partition i used for ubuntu to a partition on my laptop. i can boot into the computer, but when i use regular GNOME it fails. but if i use failsafe everything is fine. any suggestions [16:11] solow: Only for some people. I don't mind tinkering to get stuff exactly the way I like, but I loathe tinkering just to have to get the damn OS to work as it should've in the first place. [16:12] Ok, I'm in the VC but unsure how to proceed. Not a "terminal hero" :>) [16:12] going to try to reboot, thanks everyone [16:12] welcome [16:12] any of you gys know a gnome alternative for kopete? [16:12] mrkim: First stop gdm: sudo service gdm stop [16:13] i need help with Gnome [16:13] mrkim: Then, try starting X manually: startx [16:13] DodoBird, Well, sorry, I guess. [16:14] mrkim: Are you looking at your graphical desktop now? [16:14] how do i enable my numlock? [16:14] ok heres where I'm at, do you see any more error I can fix plz? http://pastebin.com/1CZzef5R [16:14] solow: Sorry? I don't get it. Oh well, nevermind. [16:15] Hi... I have a duel-boot system setup on my netbook between Ubuntu 9.10 and Windows 7... is there any way to add a "Reboot to Windows" shortcut to Ubuntu (and a "Reboot to Ubuntu" shortcut on Windows)? [16:15] Ok, stopped gdm & then entered startx and have a black screen [16:15] no [16:15] DodoBird, Oh, you weren't criticizing my url, you were talking about it :P [16:15] unless you can configure a grub, whats the point? [16:15] Yep. === Access_Denied is now known as Access_Granted [16:16] i need help with Gnome when i boot up with regular Gnome my computer freezes but with failsafe im fine any suggestions? [16:16] mrkim: hmm, maybe we do have to delete those two folders... ok, go back to the VC (Ctrl + Alt + F1) [16:16] Is this package on 9.04 or 9.10 ? libc6_2.10.1-0ubuntu15_i386 [16:17] hello this error is happening "omiting error" [16:17] chazco: In ubuntu you should be able to run a script which sets the grub default entry, for windows I'm guessing it might be quite a bit trickier..

Did you give the "startx" command while root? [16:21] does anyone know if getdeb.net is down for good? [16:22] Ok as root how do I get back to user in terminal? I'm not sure if I was running as root when I did the previous command [16:22] how do i find out what version of adobe flash im running in chrome? [16:22] thing which really buggs the hell out of me, is that the mentioned workaround still improves my wfi signal with 30%!!! [16:22] chazco: In grub2 what you would need to do is edit the GRUB_DEFAULT= entry in /etc/default/grub and then run update-grub to propagate it to the grub.cfg file, unfortunately this is not an instantaneous operation.. [16:22] mrkim: to drop out of root, just enter "exit" [16:23] why are the fixes in backports repo not actively pushed ? [16:23] quit [16:23] OK, back to user. I'm not sure of what plugins I have for gedit [16:23] arand - Sorry, got disconnected... i was thinking of something like that... sounds like it'll be more trouble than it's worth though. Nevermind :) [16:23] at least someone with an opinion on this? [16:24] ok, try doing the startx command again as the regular user [16:25] did it and went to a black screen kaje [16:26] mrkim: ok, switch back to the VC (Ctrl+Alt+F1) and kill the X session (Ctrl+C) [16:27] what is the font used to create the new brand?

[16:29] dehqan: make that $(cat /2) [16:29] mrkim: to create the directory do the following: mkdir temp-hidden [16:29] hey guys if you can make checkinstall behave with the fact that to run securely kismet needs to install a suid-root helper app [16:29] how? [16:29] mrkim: to move the gnome directories, do the following: mv ~/.gnome* temp-hidden/ [16:30] VCoolio: says E: Command line option 'i' [from -install] is not known.

[16:31] dehqan: apt-get --reinstall install << that's the one [16:31] Ok, done with that [16:32] back to ~$ [16:32] mrkim: now try doing the startx command [16:32] argh, back to black screen again [16:33] hmm, I don't know then... you've done exactly what I did to fix it... [16:33] I'm trying to install ubuntu cd-less from windows; my computer is having issues with installing from both cd-rom and usb from unetbootin. I am trying unetbootin and grub4dos and I can boot from grub to a minimal busybox. [16:33] You are sure that you stopped the gdm, right? [16:33] I want to be able to mount the ISO and install, but I have been unsuccessful. [16:33] at what point in the process? I tried mimicing each command you gave [16:34] the first thing should have been: sudo service gdm stop [16:34] no I didn't enter that command :>( [16:34] oh [16:34] ok, do that one, and then do the startx command [16:35] is it just me or does gnome-do have a HUGE memory problem? I can watch the memory usage grow almost 1mb a minute... [16:35] I tried CTl ALT F1 and now get nowhere [16:35] IcyJ: Just you. Or more likely, your version of Gnome-Do. Which version number are you using? [16:35] 0.8.3.1 === Access_Granted is now known as Access_Denied [16:36] IcyJ: I thought that had improved; but try kupfer instead http://kaizer.se/wiki/kupfer/ [16:36] mrkim: You can switch to another VC by hitting Ctrl + Alt + F2 [16:36] IcyJ: I'd ditch it and try the one from the PPA instead. It's stable and I've had no trouble with it at all. [16:36] nope [16:36] F1 - F6 each give you a separate VC to use... [16:36] Dodobird - I'll look for the PPA, thanks [16:36] ok F3 worked [16:38] mrkim: Need the steps again? [16:38] why does wifi not work unless I do "wlan0 up" THEN restart ubuntu? [16:38] every time [16:39] a package is installed from 9.10 rep , but now it can not be downloaded and reinstalled from 9.04 rep , why ? [16:39] Kaje, got past startx and it now says Fatal server error [16:39] anyone knows where and how i can upgrade from openoffice 3.1 to openoffice 3.2 [16:39] happyface: atheros wifi card by any chance? [16:39] server is already active for display 0 [16:40] mrkim: ok, then X is still not being shut down somewhere [16:40] Today when I entered Ubuntu the mouse speed was very slow.. What is this? [16:40] how do i get to system groups? [16:40] back at a virtual console, enter this: ps -A | grep X [16:40] Ok, how do I shut it down, should I reboot the machine? [16:41] rebooting the machine would probably be the simplest way [16:41] hi guys, i was wondering if there was a way to configure apt-get to have repositories on a per user basis, and maybe have it install anything from the per user repos to a specific place (i.e. user's home dir) instead of system-wide? The reason i ask is i have a server running an older version of ubuntu (8.04), and i want to update some software (vim) for myself, but not affect the systme as a whole, and if i could avoid c [16:41] ompiling myself (and screwing up and not doing it correctly) that would be great :) [16:42] jareth_: no intel 4965agn [16:42] Ok, I enetreed the last commands you gave and am back to a user === d_rugs420 is now known as dumdumz [16:43] mrkim: so you have rebooted and are back at a terminal? [16:43] no, just entered the last command set [16:43] oh, ok did you see a line that ends in "xorg"? [16:43] so I'm back at ~$ [16:43] why does wifi not work unless I do "wlan0 up" THEN restart ubuntu every time? (intel) [16:44] Does ubuntu have a built in gui to encrypt porn? [16:44] davertron: The package management system is designed as a system administrator tool that installs packages for all users system wide. It may be possible to install a particular package in a specific prefix with dpkg, but you would have to read it's man page and see for sure [16:44] s/porn/folders [16:44] no I don't see that line kaje [16:44] mrkim: ps -A | grep gdm [16:45] xae8koo: man gpg [16:45] any lines? [16:45] happyface: no ckue, i also have shitty experiences with wifi using ath9k driver... no idea bout your intel unfortunatly [16:45] Gangrel: get a .deb file here http://download.openoffice.org/other.html#tested-full [16:46] lots of lines!

[17:12] duncanidaho1: log out of both and do it in a tty [17:12] mrkim: On mine, it shows two lines, but neither are error messages...

[17:15] duncanidaho1: no, use ctrl+alt+f2 [17:15] lucid_interval: yes, but I can do it again :) [17:15] mrkim: just for a sanity check, try doing: sudo startx [17:15] @ blakkheim oh ok [17:16] apt-get update; apt-get install proftpd-basic "E: Package proftpd-basic has no installation candidate" [17:16] LostKarmic: BTW, proftpd is in universe - so make sure you have enabled the universe repository under software sources before you do the apt-get update [17:16] No sanity there, just a black screen :>( [17:17] lucid_interval: deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic universe this right?

Otherwise out of ideas. [17:19] duncanidaho1: that means it worked, now try logging into kde or whatever [17:19] does someone know how to make a server like thisone? [17:19] @blackheim ok. I'll be back. Thanks for your help. [17:19] mrkim: probably wise [17:20] Package proftpd-basic is not available, but is referred to by another package.

So I wanted to know how to host stuff on the internet for free, without a domain name, so I installed apache, and yeah. But I'm not sure if anyone downloads anything from it if it will break my computer or anything [17:20] Thanks again, I'll ask further here to see if there are any other ideas ;>) [17:20] because this is just a laptop [17:20] LostKarmic: i see proftpd-basic in my repos [17:21] LostKarmic: can you paste the output of: apt-cache policy proftpd-basic [17:21] LostKarmic: just the stuff after the ':' [17:21] Hello.

Say, for example, I host popular content on my computer, and submit it to reddit. This is just a laptop. Will that stop me from using the internet or something?

[17:25] Hi folks, I've been working with (a very patient) kaje here for a while but we couldn't get my issue sorted out. I'm running 9.10 and recievd an update notice this morning, took it, then restarted per instructions. After reboot the log in and user name screens come up and after entering these the same screen background as the username and passord screens is all that is on the screen. Any ideas? [17:25] (i've setup spf records already) [17:26] reeeeeesty, the name could potentially change every time you connect it. If it's consistent between boots, though, just pull its name from the output of 'ifconfig'. [17:26] but how would i find it? [17:26] mrkim, you mean it's stil the login screen? or the background for your desktop is that? [17:26] dehqan, just try a few of them. They'll all have more bandwidth than any residential connection. [17:26] i updated the kernel to .32 [17:26] will someone help me config my new kismet? [17:26] and i added the firmware [17:26] blakkheim: it said I should to apt-get update too.. so I did it.. still doesn't work :( [17:26] now im trying to disable my pci and use my usb nic [17:26] No candidate version found for proftpd-basic [17:27] sje46, it's the background for the log in screen [17:27] like wlan0 [17:27] mrkim, but there are icons? [17:27] what would my usb nic be? [17:27] since its atheros would it be ath0? [17:27] Using nautilus I can use a program to open a file, how do I see what command it's running? [17:27] reeeeeesty, that's very likely. [17:27] reeeeeesty, open a terminal and type 'ifconfig' and see what comes up. [17:27] mrkim, everythign still works, but it is the background of the login screen? [17:28] just my loopback, eth and pci card [17:28] reeeeeesty, if you want more information related to wireless devices, use 'iwconfg'. [17:28] ubuntu hungary chat? [17:28] RHKratos: try System > Administration > System orMonit [17:28] in ubuntu - when i try to do tab completion after a ssh command - it is sticking some hostnames in there - but I don't know where it is getting them from. Where can I find that? [17:28] hmm, same [17:28] No, there is no where to go from there, it's just a blank login screen background [17:28] cant find it [17:28] reeeeeesty, have you restarted since upgrading your kernel?

Shouldn't hosts I have never connected to - NOT complete? [17:30] VCoolio: weechat no....irssi, what is good? [17:30] @blakkheim sorry no luck. I still have the same problem [17:30] good morning everyone [17:31] vaix: /etc/hosts [17:31] what is the easiest way to write to an ipod with ubuntu 9.10 [17:31] vaix: check /etc/hosts like lucid_interval said to see if the hosts are listed there, if not you've got me stumped [17:31] lucid_interval: thanks. that looks like it. is this bash / ssh / some special ubuntu thing?

I'm running 9.10 and recievd an update notice this morning, took it, then restarted per instructions. After reboot the log in and user name screens come up and after entering these the same screen background as the username and passord screens is all that is on the screen. Any ideas? [17:32] vaix: this is command completion (package is bash_completion I think) [17:33] lucid_interval: thanks alot - was very surprised just a second ago [17:33] would like a similar program which is similar to WebcamMax but can not find someone to tell me what program I could like to do? [17:33] hiexpo: i know that you can read the music from it via Rythymbox [17:33] Stargaze: that doesn't tell me what flags (if any) the application was started with, which is one of the things I would like to know [17:33] VCoolio: in weechat i cant use /ns, why? [17:33] PomkaLK: what is /ns supposed to do? [17:33] does anyone know how to take out watermark from amd ???

I can enter commands but hafta be spoon fed since I'm just a GUI guy :>/ [17:37] PomkaLK: I switched to weechat a week ago, I like it better, it's a bit easier I think [17:37] mrkim: when you see the login page - is there any indication (text / quality of graphics) that Xorg is _NOT_ using your proprietary driver, but some fallback VESA driver? [17:38] hi simply ask what is the Hungarian name for Ubuntu rooms should [17:38] IcyJ: Thank you. That's even better- i can keep my standard apps as well.

[17:42] does anyone know if and how apt knows which version the distro is, for determining appropriate packages to install ? [17:42] Hi guys, what packages do you recommend to setup a GUI client for a Microsoft Exchange 5.5 server in Ubuntu 9.10? Email/Calendar/Contacts should be supported. Thx. [17:43] how do I get firestarter to monitor ETH0 and ETH1 (wireless) [17:43] Its like Stan Lee names Ubuntu Releases :P [17:43] Samus: it pulls the appropriate info from your /etc/apt/sources.list [17:43] Samus_Aran, does not apt use the same sources list? [17:43] mrkim, it depends on your irc client ..usually if it's gui you can right click the person's name and choose to open a chat window [17:44] Samus_Aran, it's in your sources.list [17:44] umbra_, suffah: so then how does it know what to install, if for instance you put two different version names ? [17:44] suffah, man...the timeing was like identical lol [17:44] haha :) [17:44] Samus_Aran, basically you specified in tehre what release's packages you want [17:44] well do a "sudo apt-get update" and if the distro is invalid you'll get an error [17:45] hey i did a fresh install of 9.10 on my desktop and then did the available update. after restarting my pc won't even boot. Grub works sometimes, and when i select the older version to boot from that doesn't even work either. sometimes the floppy drive light comes on and stays on forever with a black screen === andregondim_ is now known as Andre_Gondim [17:45] I am trying to help dehqan who apparently did half an upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 and now wants to go back to 9.04. they said they've done apt-get update, and only have the 9.04 repos listed, but it can't find any packages [17:45] I see why everyone is so proud of their linux [17:45] ubuntu is getting ugly! [17:46] Everyones will be different, and so much work goes into it [17:46] hated that new interface and the new logo! [17:46] i got this BA wallpaper, its matrix with a gnome foot highlighted [17:46] chai well if you don't see grub at all, the system might nbot be booting that drive.. I wonder if you're having some kind of drive failure [17:47] I had that prob before after I tried to update to 9.1 the 1st time [17:47] I just reinstalled linux and everything went back to normal [17:47] umbra_, suffah: so any idea why a sources.list that only has 9.04 listed would not be able to apt-get install --reinstall any packages, saying none of them can be found ? [17:47] rifter thats what i thought at first, so i pulled out a different HD and did another install on that, same result [17:48] and btw, why the excessive 0 in 9.10? [17:48] cyberbluntz significant figures lol [17:48] it s an idication or the month [17:48] indication* [17:48] yr.month [17:48] , [17:48] its still excessive regardless [17:48] 0 is understood imo [17:49] is it possible to use presented themes with current Ubuntu/GNOME? http://arstechnica.com/open-source/news/2010/03/ubuntu-dumps-the-brown-introduces-new-theme.ars [17:49] Has any of you succesfully managed to set up a mail client for a Microsoft Exchange 5.5 server?

I installed gparted and rebooted. Now my machine won't start the window manager. I tried to run the recovery / dpkg option - it wanted me to upgrade: I said no. How can I diagnose what is wrong? [17:54] seanbrystone_: most likely if someone had a fix, they would have posted it. any patches posted ? [17:54] Samus_Aran: Thanks for the advice. Evolution itself doesn't support 5.5, but there is a workaround. Have you got it to work? [17:55] seanbrystone_: what's the link to the issue ? I don't actually know all the bug reports in my head. :p [17:55] Hi guys. Could anyone give me some advice on how to copy a certain partition over another? [17:55] Samus_Aran, im not that good with bug reporting, so i donno if there's a patch or not, if there is im not seeing it [17:55] skjoedt-: sorry, no.

[18:35] ActionParsnip: ah I think I see what you mean. /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.postinst ? [18:35] dehqan, not with apt, try lsb_release -a [18:35] dehqan: it uses the source file. That's why they say your release name on each line [18:36] Psilo2: yeah. Kinda messy way to go about it though. Dpkg etc can give better output on what's installed [18:36] VCoolio: i dont know how to do that? [18:37] Faron: lean in ram or in hdd use? [18:37] ram & cpu [18:37] faron, ActionParsnip is very right [18:37] ActionParsnip: right but the machine is not bootable. The fs is hosed; I am reinstalling the machine and a current package list would be a good start. [18:37] lsb_release -a says it is jaunty nut apt-get can not download packages from jaunty reps st ActionParsnip [18:37] Faron: one good way is to look at the stuff in the menus and remove what you don't use. Which can reduce running apps. [18:37] newclimb: copypaste the text from the link in an editor, save the file as pastebinit.diff in your home folder; then open a terminal and run the command I gave [18:37] Psilo2: use a live cd and chroot [18:38] what does it mean when someone says 'it took ~2 years'? [18:38] dehqan, i think jaunty is no longer supported [18:38] hmm [18:38] Faron: you can remove stuff like xsane which will knock out a service nicely if you never use a scanner. The program bum will help to a fashion too [18:39] I was planning on going through synapytic that way [18:39] my audio is conflicting with what I need for my scanner?? [18:39] infid: in this case, ~ = about [18:39] Faron: you can also remove openoffice and install abiword if all you use is writer [18:39] infid: ~=approximately, you mean? [18:39] newclimb: all clear? [18:39] but I dont wnt to uninstall something & then not have my machine boot ya kno ? [18:39] Faron: you can also remove gimp if you never use it [18:39] hi all, i have trouble setting the correct resolution on my laptop, i am using ubuntu 9.10, any help? [18:39] VCoolio: is that what ~ means? [18:39] ActionParsnip: The root folder does not contain /usr /bin /sbin /etc /lib and so on. It's not usable to run a machine. Anyway, thanks. I only had that one quesiton. [18:39] how can I get ubuntu to support hfs+ ? [18:39] infid: that's what I would make of it, yeah [18:39] Faron: tbh a stock install of ubuntu is full of fluff and can be skimmed down easily [18:40] er, gparted [18:40] VCoolio: is that an english, math or programming thing? [18:40] i run a ibook g4 running ubuntu ppc 9.10 and gnome but my battery monitor doesnt work how do i enable one? [18:40] Psilo2: glad to help [18:40] action.... see I tum xubuntu............. [18:40] infid: it's rather offtopic, but it's a math thing to have a curled = as 'approximately' but on a keyboard it's hard to get that one so one uses the tilda [18:40] ActionParsnip: how do you recommend skimming it down? sudo apt-get --remove ? [18:41] plecebo, try xbattbar [18:41] Faron: if you use static ip or are running a desktop you can define the lan in /etc/network/interfaces and remove network manager [18:41] ok [18:41] hi all, i have trouble setting the correct resolution on my laptop, i am using ubuntu 9.10, any help? :) [18:41] VCoolio: i see. thanks === jnperlin_ is now known as jnperlin [18:41] Infid: depends on your use [18:41] how do you, in terminal, open a program and then still have prompt [18:42] VCoolio: the command that you gave me doesnt work [18:42] hmmmmm wish I really understood what you just said oops wow though I figured net mgr would be omething I would really need [18:42] Paine: program & [18:42] stargaze do i use software center or do i use synpatic [18:42] infid, thanks [18:42] newclimb: what does it say? [18:42] Paine, by typing @ behond the command [18:42] lsb_release -a says it is jaunty nut apt-get can not download packages from jaunty reps st ActionParsnip [18:42] euhm...i just installed the nvidia video driver and now my resolution is to high for my monitor ._. [18:42] Stargaze_, [18:42] Faron: there are also tonnes of drivers which can also be removed: you can see them with: dpkg -l | grep xserver ,and remove any you don't use. Evolution can also be removed to free up ram as it runs a few services [18:42] plecebo, synaptic [18:42] Stargaze_, thanks :D [18:42] VCoolio: newmar@newmar-laptop:~$ sudo patch -p0 < pastebinit.diff [18:42] sudo: patch: command not found [18:42] ok [18:42] any quick fix? :p [18:42] Dehqan: run: sudo apt-get update [18:43] newclimb: ah, well, does it suggest any packages to install? [18:43] Darkx: sudo nvidia-xconfig [18:43] Darkx: then reboot [18:43] when? i can't even get to a login D: [18:43] see right now my cpu is being maxed & all I have running is this chat [18:43] ActionParsnip: done it before [18:43] VCoolio: nothing [18:43] where is alsaconf !!! [18:43] oops up & down [18:43] Darkx: root recovery console [18:43] ok will try :3 [18:43] Dehan: does it hit the repos? [18:43] (this is another laptop btw :p) [18:43] ActionParsnip: yes some [18:44] ya'll have a good evening...thanks for all the help [18:44] can someone help me install without cd where I have a separate fat32 partition with the cd iso on it? [18:44] Darkx: you will stll have a recovery root console. It is still the same OS as a desktop system [18:44] Dehqan: then change server in software sources [18:44] eveolution ?? see now that would be something I would wonder whether I needed or not....... [18:44] hmm looks like its working after a reboot O_o strange [18:45] Faron: if you use it for email, keep it. If not get rid [18:45] newclimb: ah, it's just patch; run: sudo apt-get install patch [18:45] See,I am not a geek {I just like people to think I am.Heh,heh} [18:45] newclimb: then try again (use arrow up to select the same command for convenience) [18:45] Faron: if you don't use vnc you can remove vino and vinagre too [18:45] ok i installed it so should i restart [18:45] hahah [18:45] hi how do I install acrobat reader from adobe? For example I know of this: [18:45] jhrtdnbfcvz [18:45] http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/pool/partner/a/acroread/ [18:46] so is there a way to add that in the list of repositories [18:46] so that I keep automatically uptodate? [18:46] vnc ?? that a media player ? [18:46] apt-get install hfsprogs returns no results... is there another way to get hfsprogs via apt-get? [18:46] Faron: if you run: dpkg -l | less ,you can see what's installed and remove what is surplus [18:46] VNC is for remote desktop connection [18:46] how do i change terminal color scheme [18:46] VCoolio: patch: **** Only garbage was found in the patch input. [18:46] Faron: also set vm.swappiness lower if you have 1gb ram or more [18:46] i installed tightvnc server but i can't seem to find any way to configure it :p [18:46] is there an apt-get search function? [18:46] hello ninjas [18:46] :) [18:46] sup my ninja [18:47] Hey, is this normal? nautilus freezes for a while whenever i even click an incomplete file that's downloading in utorrent. This is driving me crazy. [18:47] newclimb: I found the site, get the patch from there, maybe you also copied the line numbering https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pastebinit/+bug/526849 [18:47] Tehbaut: apt-cache search will search available apps. dpkg -l | grep something will search your installed apps [18:47] ahhhhhhhhset swappiness lower ?? Wow,I was thinking about setting it higher but I don't even kno whow [18:47] YOY, utorrent on ubuntu? [18:47] know how [18:47] anybody know how to get the /usr/share/man/man0p manpages in ubuntu? [18:48] yes captainc [18:48] Tiders muha [18:48] newclimb: it's the attachment in the second post there [18:48] YOY, Is that native or through wine? [18:48] wine of course [18:48] thanks ActionParsnip [18:48] YOY, not for nothing, but transmission is pretty kick-ass. [18:48] iykfcm,hvlocfol [18:48] Faron: higher will make it use swap more (more hdd access = sloooow) if your system can run in ram a low vm.swappiness will restrict the system to try and make it use ram more (faster) [18:49] some one know how to change terminal color scheme [18:49] transmission stinks [18:49] spinner: edit -> profiles [18:49] Faron: could also install dnsmasq to have a local dns service to speed up web access [18:49] is archive.ubuntu.com down? [18:49] tehbaut: highly unlikely [18:49] YOY: Deluge is good too. Otherwise, I'd monitor the WINE process for CPU usage to see if that's the bottle neck. [18:49] Captainc: enable to web interface too. Remote control torrents [18:50] I have an Epson Artisan 700. We have gotten the printing set up but I need to know what I need to do to set up the scanning. I found a site with a possible driver but when I tried to install it it said there was an unsatisfiable dependency. I tried to download it but it said PulseAudio had a conflicting version and installing it would break the package. (Having a broken package does not sound fun!) [18:50] spinner: then select the default profile ( or create a new one ) and change away.. [18:50] Yoy: I use it. My g1 phone loves it long time [18:50] tehbaut: And no, it's just you. [18:50] YOY: Just curious, why do you not like Transmission? [18:50] captainc it's not about wine, it's about nautilus. even if i shut down utorrent it freezes [18:50] jpds: I'm getting "failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/h/hfsplus/libhfsp0_1.0.412build1_amd64.deb [18:50] because it's not ghostleech friendlu [18:50] friendly [18:50] * [18:51] Yoy: utorrent has a few bugs and will ramp up cpu usage til it maxes your chips [18:51] so i have to do it grafical it wont work if i make an Xresources file with color codes? [18:51] faron, in Terminal, type sudo gedit /etc/sysctl.conf and then add vm.swappiness = 10 === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [18:51] Yoy: there are tonnes of torrent apps native to linux. I suggest you try them [18:51] ActionParsnip, utorrent runs perfect [18:51] it's just a bug [18:52] Stargaze_: gksudo for gedit [18:52] YOY: my initial feel is that it is the way wine has to stream information to the disk and that nautilus is trying to read info about the file. If it is not stored properly, Nautilus may choke on it. [18:52] hey homies, does anyone know if it's possible to combine .ima floppy images into a .iso file using ubuntu? i was thinking the dd command but i'm not exactly sure how to approach it... [18:52] Yoy: yeah 100% cpu usage is pretty appauling for something billed to be "light" [18:52] Deluge is pretty nice [18:52] yes, i thought of that, and maybe it's because of the different filesystem [18:53] <_ting__> hello [18:53] Phunk: could use the remaster system to add files to the iso [18:53] spinner: that was just one way. You could use command line switches too. [18:53] !remaster | phunk [18:53] phunk: Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !live CD? See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization or use tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility [18:53] VCoolio: it works thanks [18:53] tehbaut: That package does not exist. [18:53] psilo2: sorry was away; chroot to the install from a livecd run dpkg [18:53] tehbaut: Try: sudo apt-get update [18:53] newclimb: your welcome [18:54] here's a quest for everybody........on xubuntu i use a program called "xfcenotes " for the panel......i have a problem with it..........when I click on it to open it up.....it opens 5 empty notes & it opens my other 3........how can I stop this strange behaviour ? [18:55] Faron: is there a bug logged for the behaviour? [18:55] ActionParsnip: well, basically what i have are 14 floppy images that are install disks for win95 (installing this on an old laptop for a friend). if i had 14 floppies laying around i'd just use those but it's 2010 and i (unlike my friend) am with the times. ideally i wanted to combine the .ima images into a single .iso, burn that to cd, and install that way. hence i was looking at dd to see if there was a way i might be able to combine them [18:55] ActionParsnip, just so you know, utorrent runs 99.9% of the time 10 times faster and liter than any other native crap, also it has it's way around connections just like libtorrent, but that's unconfortable using it in the terminal. [18:56] not sure...not sure about those "bug" types of things ...again...I'm not really a geek...I jst like people to think I am [18:56] grr. [18:56] Paine, by typing @ behond the command <- what do you mean? [18:56] Yoy: I ran it in xp and i'd have to kill it off every few days after it maxed my cpu and made my fan spin like crazy. I doubt it runs lighter than rtorrent by far [18:57] the xfce notes program is really awkward........ it doesn't even come with instuctions for use when you install it [18:57] infid, behond = behind [18:57] YOY: E-mail the utorrent guys and tell them to make a linux version! [18:57] can't anyone help me? I tried to be as specific as possible... [18:57] Well your pc sucks ActionParsnip , i've been a user for years, even in xp [18:58] Let's try not to flame now. [18:58] To each his own. [18:58] that's not flame, it must be a fact [18:58] Stargaze_: gnometris @ doesnt return my prompt to me [18:58] Yoy: it does in todays standards but it runs everything else I need just fine. Once I add the "light" torrent client utorrent it starts to die. [18:58] what heck you talkin bout yoy ? [18:58] lol [18:58] Yoy: so simple evaluation is utorrent blows [18:58] infid: gnometetris & [18:59] how to seed torrent seedbox on vps? without desktop [18:59] nevin: well & is what i said but he said put @ 'behind' it which could mean before or after it but neither works. was curious if there was anotherw ay [18:59] http://cnart.apriestofgix.com/index.php?action=pmxblog;sa=view;cont=2;uid=15 [19:00] Yoy: and even if my pc did b low. Isn't utorrent supposed to be light and run with minimal resources, just like a low end system? [19:00] infid: what happens when you type gnometetris & [19:01] ciao ragazzi [19:01] alguien habla espanol [19:01] qualcuno parla italiano? [19:01] !es | pedro__ [19:01] pedro__: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [19:01] nevin like i said twice, that works perfectly fine, returns the prompt. however Stargaze_ said to put @ behind it, which i was concerned about as to why, apparently that is not correct so nevermind [19:01] !it | pixide2000 [19:01] pixide2000: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese.

We have gotten the printing set up but I need to know what I need to do to set up the scanning. I found a site with a possible driver but when I tried to install it it said there was an unsatisfiable dependency.

[19:02] Aegnuddel: wassup [19:02] there... [19:02] Aegnuddel: is there a bug logged for the driver you found? [19:02] gracias ubottu [19:02] I asked once before then added on... [19:02] ActionParsnip, why do you think most of the people use utorrent on their linux servers for seedboxes ? even professional people. why not use native, there are few that have the gui... it's because it's the best. It;s obvious that you're not a fan of it and you try to yap around here with lies, i've never heard someone before saying utorrent blew their cpu, maybe if you leech 100gb shit [19:02] Aegnuddel: does xsane not just find the scanner [19:02] bye [19:03] It FINDS it [19:03] guys how to seed torrent on tranmission from terminal ? [19:03] Yoy: there is no best software for anything [19:03] list [19:03] there is some error...can't remember exact wording [19:03] hold on [19:04] Mysoogals: never done it from terminal personally [19:04] hola [19:04] is there some extension to gedit to enable it to wrap text just like emacs can with auto-fill-mode ? [19:04] no [19:04] Greetings Everyone.

It is slightly diffrent than DOS from what I grew up with. I'm rather new to Lynux and I enjoy the stability and flexibality of it. [19:07] yoy: best is an evauluation of needs to product.

[19:45] I think I know what they're talking about. The issue they're describing is an issue where the system is attempting to cycle through IPV6 DNS lookups before IPV4 causing a delay. What DNS are you using? As you mentioned that you had changed it [19:45] puedo hablar con mis amigos [19:46] Stargaze_: It says it will remove old kernels. But it is the new kernel that is unstable. I have booted the old one since the newly updated crashes. [19:46] skjoedt-, then i misunderstood [19:46] shairozan: i was using Google DNS, actually I'm still using it on all my computers. I tried to change my desktop (the one with the problem) to OpenDNS but the issue remained, so I changed back. [19:47] If I break PulseAudio is it possible to go back to ALSA instead?

[19:50] GeekSquid: I'm not sure about that. Always used Google DNS without any problem, even the netbook I'm typing now is using it. No way it's only a DNS matter. [19:50] maybe because I did sudo apt-get update? [19:50] juuntian: Alright let's check this. perform the following in terminal ifconfig eth0 | grep Scope .

[19:56] dho_: no [19:57] brinstar: vnc [19:57] I'm running karmic and I can't copy and paste between several applications. It seems that selecting text in Konsole just doesn't bother putting it in the clipboard, even when I do Edit -> Copy from the menu. Any thoughts? [19:57] dho_: linux is secure, why would you want that? [19:57] trovato in documentazione debian ehm......... (shy) [19:57] shairozan: which version is the best? [19:57] TecnoBrat: I thought I read that they released launchpad's software as OSS so you can run your own. [19:57] @blakkheim for the same reason it's been used by software distributors for years. [19:57] there are like 3 i think [19:57] can I make casper mount a directory and use as root instead of a squashfs? [19:57] NfNitLoop: Konsole is kde right?, might be that [19:57] shairozan: ok then, so I'm actually disabling IPv6? :-P gotta look on how to do that, I assume it's before logging in, right? [19:57] brinstar: any version. VNC comes built into ubuntu. V4 for windows [19:57] NfNitLoop: hmmmm, really? I doubt that, but I'll check [19:58] juuntian: Don't think you'd have to do it before logging in :) Let me look at it real quick [19:58] NfNitLoop: just select and then middle mouse, or shift+insert, should be generally working [19:58] TecnoBrat: http://blog.launchpad.net/general/launchpad-is-now-open-source] [19:58] TecnoBrat: oops, no ] [19:58] shairozan: can it interoperate with the windows version? i.e. can i control ubuntu from windows? [19:58] one more question about removable media... is there a way to set a custom icon that will display whenever that media is inserted into a linux machine? [19:58] brinstar: yes. That's how we perform remote work here in the office. It's an interoperable solution [19:58] ok thanks, thts all i needed to know [19:58] NfNitLoop: isn't that the client portion? [19:59] i tried .drive files and that didn't work... [19:59] http://paste.ubuntu.com/388491/ [19:59] help [19:59] juuntian: haha it looks like it might actually be an issue with firefox too. Theres a way to disable firefox from using ipv6 lookups [19:59] is there a way to not have empathy asking the master key password of the gnome session ? [19:59] juuntian: that might actually just solve your issue ^_^ [19:59] shairozan: I read somewhere that I need to change Grub settings or something like that. because I'm not using firefox, I'm using Chrome. [19:59] dho_, use gconf-editor select apps > nautilus > desktop [19:59] http://paste.ubuntu.com/388491/ help me config it [19:59] I mean, can't the master password be just unlocked when I login ? [19:59] TecnoBrat: Would you like me to read you the page? :p [20:00] what folders do i have to backup when i want to reinstall ubuntu 9.10 karmic coala [20:00] Stargaze_: will that carry over to another computer? [20:00] how to setup computer statistic to be view via php [20:00] juuntian: firefox and chrome are built on very similar platforms. There's more than likely a way to disable ipv6 dns lookups on chrome as well [20:00] something like computer stats [20:00] something like computer stats [20:00] dho_, no [20:00] donvito: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:00] Stargaze_: ok, well that is necessary in my case. i'm doing software distribution. [20:00] shairozan: maybe Chrome is using Firefox settings? what are the odds? let me check a few options here :-) [20:00] what folders do i have to backup when i want to reinstall ubuntu 9.10 karmic coala [20:00] juuntian: haha I don't think they'll use the same, but they'll be similar [20:00] Hey. I have just installed ubuntu (9.10) on a friends computer. While running the live CD the hardware driver manager told me that I needed to install proprietary drivers for the broadcom wifi adapter. For some reason this worked without being online and I was able to connect. After the installation I tried to do this again but the manager just says downloading very briefly and then stops without activating or downloading the driver. I [20:00] have connected via ethernet which works correctly but i still get the same behaviour [20:00] VCoolio: Yes, I know how to copy/paste. It's just Konsole that's affected. [20:02] juuntian: and I see what you mean. It looks like you would have to add an option to the grub bootup for your kernel. While it may work you'll have to remember to do it everytime you update your kernel [20:02] sharperguy, try http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/Configuring_Ubuntu_Linux_Wireless_Networking [20:02] sharperguy: do you activated the drivers in Sis> Admon> Hardware¿ [20:02] juuntian: If you disable ipv6 altogether tha tis [20:02] asking again... is there a way to set a desktop icon on removable media that will be carried with the disk from machine to machine? [20:02] *that is [20:02] how to setup computer statistic to be view via php [20:02] how to setup computer statistic to be view via php [20:02] donvito: no need to repeat yourself [20:02] xangua, I tried to but it doesnt actually do anything [20:02] hey all.... what exactly is a cloud server used for? [20:02] shairozan: hmm the bad news are that I'm also having this problem on other softwares like pidgin, or even the updater system. that's why I don't think it's only a browser setting. [20:02] !repeat | donvito [20:02] donvito: 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. [20:02] texas319: online storage of files [20:02] donvito: ask in #php [20:03] dantu, If you just want to keep your data then just your home folder. [20:03] texas319: Cloud server is meant to be part of a larger community of servers sharing their hardware capabilities [20:03] thats it? [20:03] sharperguy: do you marked the drivers and restarted to make efect¿ [20:03] ahh [20:03] dho_: I think icons are defined by the icon theme (devices folder), not the media themselves [20:03] so what is an ideal use for a clud server lets say as in a web server enviroment [20:03] juuntian: yeah, it sounds like you might want to see about disabling IPV6. I haven't had any issues with it, but I prevent IPV6 traffic in all of my networks until I make the conversion [20:03] xangua, Well i clicked activate and it just says its downloading very breifly and then the dialog goes away and it still says not activated. I have tried rebooting but it had no effect [20:03] sharperguy: hmm so only data is in home... and system is in etc? [20:03] VCoolio: yeah... see, that's the problem. i'm authoring a DVD and both windows and Mac allow drive icon assignment on the media. [20:04] can the next version of ubuntu please be ubuntu 9.10.11 :) [20:04] texas319: It's basically primarily used for high availability. You have a cloud of servers performing one function, like hosting a website. If one server goes down, the cloud itself doesn't, and neither does the site [20:04] bin1010: no [20:04] shairozan: so, I think disabling the IPv6 the hardway is what is left for me, huh? gonna do it, I'll keep you updated. [20:04] iahhhh [20:04] juuntian: sounds good, and sorry I couldn't be of much more help [20:05] cloud server = redundancy? [20:05] dantu, Well the rest of the system files are divided up amongst the rest of the filesystem. Individual user settings for various apps are also stored in home, so if you backed the whole thing up and re-install an app the settings should still be there [20:05] texas319: No. [20:05] texas319: That's one part of it. The other is to leverage multiple machines for computing power. For example, you create a cloud to perform a single large function like medical calculations [20:05] texas319: There are a lot of aspects to cloud computing [20:05] Stargaze_, I will look at that thankyou [20:05] shairozan: hey, your help was essential for me to discard a lot of things, thanks for everything :-) [20:06] yall are giving me alot better answers than google [20:06] texas319: The cloud is for rapid provisioning of virtual servers. [20:06] in my case i am more concerned about hosting a large site as well as a sugar crm database [20:06] hello, My LAMP server is not executing php scripts. just checked lamp-server^ and all packages are up to date [20:06] The cloud is not just limited to virtual servers, as it was not always that way [20:07] It just facilitates it and takes advantage of existing technologies [20:07] shairozan: s/virtual servers/instances of servers/ === root|TheKim is now known as badRandom [20:07] so give ma suggestion as far as how i would set up a cloud enviroment to make sure a web site 100+ gb in size up [20:07] I removed some packages and now newly launched windows don't get focus. I'm using metacity as window manager (no compiz). Anyone knows what to do to get focus for newly launched windows please? [20:08] xangua, no ideas? [20:08] texas319: Not that the cloud was not built to be resiliant. [20:08] ahhh [20:08] anyone ever had the same LAMP trouble ? [20:08] Ok,lt me try this 1 mo time fr now...{cnt find ansr nywhere}... why when I click notes plugin for xfce4 desktop, to open it up, is the pro opening up my 3 seperate notes that I have created ALONG WITH 5 {YES,FIVE} othr {blank/empty} instances of this pro as well ?? Does NYBDDY have a clue ??? [20:08] I had a LAMP problem once, but it just needed a new bulb :) [20:09] shairozan: awesome.. now to the more serious stuff [20:09] jihedamine: open gconf-editor, check apps > metacity > general, there are some related entries there === shazbotmcnasty is now known as shazzy [20:09] texas319: http://gojko.net/2010/01/25/designing-applications-for-cloud-deployment/ === shazzy is now known as shazzy|school [20:10] jpds: thanx [20:10] I get the following pop-up error that says /usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconf-sanitycheck-2 exites with status 256 , Tried everything on bug list , nothing , When i startx from tty ( gdm does not start ) , I can't use key board or mouse , Any advice ?

[20:42] how to solve this ? http://pastebin.com/zHjaQWzT [20:42] ronnie__, go to applications -->Ubuntu Software Center [20:42] iceroot: exploits come under "potentially illegal activities" though [20:42] jnfuller: server uses alternate installer --> no livecd --> no casper dir ??? [20:42] guntbert: hacking has nothing to do with exploits [20:42] !rpm | skjoedt- [20:43] skjoedt-: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [20:43] blue - I got that far and opened kpackagekit and i really really dislike it [20:43] Is there a way to incrase my wifi range? I think it's a driver issue I get a MUCH stronger connection that never craps-out on me with Windows 7, with Ubuntu it's a bit slow and disconnects often. [20:43] increase* [20:43] i have a problem i am not shure if it relates to pulseaudio or something else... i am running ubuntu 9.10 sound worked fine but suddenly it stopped working. or to be precise only the output stopped working. pulsaudio deamon is running. if i call someone through skype they can hear me. in the mixer i have selected the right hardware. the right autput modus (analog duplex). nothing is muted. i tried another soundcard for reference... n [20:43] o luck (the modules for the sc are beeing loaded. so... any ideas what else i should look at?? P.S. i also used different cables/headphones [20:43] aha thanks er [20:43] iceroot: don't want to discuss that - but if you read the original question .... [20:44] How to setup computer stats via php [20:44] iceroot, the name of the book says, "hacking: the art of exploitation." And as a reformed hacker, it has everything to do with exploitation. [20:44] guntbert: no i have not read it [20:44] when you use the open command to open a communication port to the serial, what communication protocol is it using to the serial port? if i wanted to read the other end of the serial cable with a java program on the other side? [20:44] iceroot: thought so :) [20:44] Is there a way to increase my wifi range? I think it's a driver issue I get a MUCH stronger connection that never craps-out on me with Windows 7, with Ubuntu it's a bit slow and disconnects often. I am not far from the access point at all. Beta drivers? Someone help me? [20:45] ronnie__, you could use the command line to install your software, its simpler [20:45] erUSUL: I know it is for Red Hat but I cant find any other method for installing it. I have followed this guide: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-October/021836.html [20:45] ronnie__, do you absolutely want KDE? [20:45] so since there is no casper dir if I want to enable a serial console at boot time all I need to do to make changes is change the isolinux.cfg and away I go on a headless install [20:45] blueglasses_, I really want to be able to go to a package manager and browse [20:46] skjoedt-: it does not have a "make install" target? [20:46] Jon-, try http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1400250 [20:46] ronnie__, if you want, you can use synaptic. [20:46] Space -- I like KDE alot better than gnome - will synaptics work with kde? [20:46] eww KDE [20:46] lol [20:46] well its called kubuntu [20:46] jk [20:46] ronnie__: konsole -e man aptitude [20:46] ronnie__, open a console and write "aptitude" on it followed by enter [20:46] it's not synaptics, it's synaptic [20:46] erUSUL: It does. Please see at point i) at the end of the link. Mabye you can find what is wrong [20:46] kde is pretty - lol [20:47] and the aptitude gui is calle adept [20:47] Stargaze: You didn't read my question, I get a BEAUTIFUL connection from this very laptop with Windows 7, and a piss-poor one from Ubuntu. It's not the router it's the driver. [20:47] this isn't the place to discuss which DE is prettier or uckier. [20:47] hi who wanna talk with me in private? [20:47] elisa87, do you have a question related to support? [20:47] @jon what WIFI card? [20:47] erUSUL: I just extracted the source, went into the folder and typed ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr. At the end of the compilation it ask for the RPM package. [20:47] i'm just bored:| [20:47] fehlersturm, try using autocomplete to type people's names. [20:47] !ot | elisa87 [20:48] elisa87: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [20:48] elisa87, join #ubuntu-offtopic [20:48] Hello guys, I'm using 9.04 and I did a reboot a few minutes ago & lost my sound. I'm getting a crackly sound, but that is only when I turn the volume up very high. Could someone give me some help in tracking down my issue? [20:48] ronnie__, freedom is pretty [20:48] fehlersturm: What terminal command to find out? I know it's chipset that matters not manufacturer. [20:48] Jon-: lspci [20:48] @SpaceGhostC2C thx [20:48] blakkheim, sometimes just telling someone in person is better. Doesn't make them feel like fail or upset them. [20:48] fehlersturm, you also don't need the @ symbol. === gbachot is now known as Stargaze2 === Stargaze2 is now known as Stargaze [20:49] can i get the gui manager that comes with gnome? [20:49] ronnie__, anything wrong with the KDE one? [20:49] it sux [20:49] ronnie__, yes you can [20:49] ronnie__: welcome to kde [20:49] ronnie__: what you want to do? [20:49] blakkheim: http://pastebin.com/D6bbHaPw for output [20:49] skjoedt-: you can not skip that in any way ? [20:49] I get the following pop-up error that says /usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconf-sanitycheck-2 exites with status 256 , Tried everything on bug list , nothing , When i startx from tty ( gdm does not start ) , I can't use key board or mouse , Any advice ? [20:49] I have a hard disk that used to have windows on it. I used GParted to create a new partition. It did, /dev/sda1. Now when I try to format it it just gives me an error. [20:49] SpaceGhostC2C: whoa, that's so strange.. i just realized i've been typing the @ symbol too. damn twitter! [20:50] lol - i want a different package manager for stupid people (i.e. gui) [20:50] Jon-: 08:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR928X Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01) [20:50] blakkheim: Yes, that's the card. [20:50] ronnie__: kubuntu/kde has adept [20:50] ronnie__: no need for a gui, learn apt-get and apt-cache much faster then a gui [20:50] ronnie__, adept is a gui [20:50] I thought adept was replaced with kpackagekit [20:51] ronnie__: or aptitude, it can do everything apt-get and apt-cache do (and does it better) [20:51] blakkheim: Does ngis-wrapper or whatever it's called work well? Can I just use the .bin from my Windows 7 driver, or is that going to cause major issues? [20:51] kidd1907 [20:51] ronnie__, if you want to try a new package manager gui, try synaptic. [20:51] Jon-: most atheros cards are supported out of the box, or with madwifi compiled [20:51] spACEGHOST tell me more [20:51] ronny, surf to appnr.com [20:51] Jon-: ndiswrapper nedds the .inf file of 'windows xp' driver [20:51] How fast should I be able to transfer something through my 10/100 router? [20:51] neezer: around 12mb/s [20:52] erUSUL: Im not sure. I just tried to follow the guide. I have tried with ./configure but it is the same problem. This is the final and most important step. I need Brutus to work so that I can see my emails at the university, so I am quite frustrated, you see :-) [20:52] blakkheim, is that 100 M bits /s? [20:52] blakkheim: I am talking to you right now so obviously it works but I get 1/5th the speed and it loses connection with about 15-20% connection, whereas windows 7 gets 65-70% from the same spot. It's an N-card, if that effects anything. [20:52] neezer: yes [20:52] 1 byte = 8 bits? [20:52] Do I have to do something to the newly created partition to make it useful for users? I see it mounted when I'm logged in as a user, but I cannot access it. I have to type my password just to mount it. [20:52] neezer: yes [20:52] neezer: Yes [20:52] blakkheim, I'd have to upgrade my router, and NIC cards in order to get gigabit LAN then. [20:53] neezer: yes [20:53] What kind of speed can I expect with that? [20:53] skjoedt-: well it shouldn't be asking for a specific rpm building thing if you are goint to use make install ... [20:53] 120 MB/s? [20:53] well with lsmod you could find out which module is loaded for the wifi with lspci you get a listing of pci devices [20:53] neezer: theoretically, but i've never gotten that fast [20:53] neezer: 100mbit/s :8 = 12.5MByte/s [20:53] Bookman: add it in /etc/fstab with a line like "/dev/partition /media/whatever fstype user,defaults 0 0" [20:53] neezer: You are refering to LAN? [20:53] can i just type apt-get install synaptics ? [20:53] skjoedt-: can you do ./configure instead of /autogen.sh ? [20:53] neezer: on my gigabit network i only got about 25-30mb/s :/ [20:53] Jon- so give us some info on what chipset you are using [20:53] erUSUL: Is the tar.gz source files distribution specific? Mabye I have downloaded a source specific for Red Hat. I found it here http://www.sfr-fresh.com/linux/misc/evolution-brutus-1.1.30.11.tar.gz/ [20:53] jon- on my lan at home. [20:54] VCoolio, you have to do this everytime you add a new hard drive? [20:54] Hi all, does anyone know whether install the openJDK alongside Sun Java stuff on ubuntu would break the sun JRE? [20:54] i have a problem i am not shure if it relates to pulseaudio or something else... i am running ubuntu 9.10 sound worked fine but suddenly it stopped working. or to be precise only the output stopped working. pulsaudio deamon is running. if i call someone through skype they can hear me. in the mixer i have selected the right hardware. the right autput modus (analog duplex). nothing is muted. i tried another soundcard for reference... n [20:54] neezer: and maybe you get the half from the 12.5MByte/s because of the protocol-overhead [20:54] erUSUL: Yes, but with same result. [20:54] o luck (the modules for the sc are beeing loaded. so... any ideas what else i should look at?? P.S. i also used different cables/headphones [20:54] ohh and how do send me highlighted messeges? [20:54] trelayne: its not breaking [20:54] how to solve this ? http://pastebin.com/zHjaQWzT any opinion ? [20:54] neezer: 100mbit is about 12MB down, gigabit is about 120 BUT you'd never get that fast hardware would cap you. It's faster, for sure, useful if you do a ton of file transfers [20:54] skjoedt-: shouldn't be the case... [20:54] ronnie__: prefix the message with yoour name [20:54] your* [20:54] neezer: on my gigabit network i only got about 25-30mb/s :/ <-- your hard drive speed? [20:54] blakkheim, could that be constrained by hard drives [20:54] Bookman: I guess, yeah; not too difficult, is it? fstab is there for automatically mounting stuff [20:54] Guest55369: probably [20:54] erUSUL: Im truely lost === Guest55369 is now known as Nitsuga [20:54] skjoedt-: so i am sorry :/ [20:54] neezer: yeah, it was with a 5400rpm laptop drive so it would be faster with an ssd or better hd [20:54] Bookman: but how often are you planning to add a new drive? [20:55] I feel your painskjoedt [20:55] SpaceGhostC2C_: Can i just apt-get install synaptics? [20:55] I have been reading a lot about ssd's lately, so that 25-30 for large files sounds about right. [20:55] VCoolio, I have a few machines....it might be a few times. [20:55] ronnie__: it is NOT synaptics, we have said this before [20:55] My wifi card gets a much worse connection than Windows 7, and cuts out from time to time. Need assistance fixing it, perhaps using ndisgtk? lspci here: http://pastebin.com/D6bbHaPw please offer any assistance you can [20:55] ronnie__, it is SYNAPTIC, not SYNAPTICS [20:55] I want to get one, but I just can justify the $2 - $3 /GB cost right now. [20:55] iceroot, thanks. All I want to do is copy of the pulseaudio java libs to my sun runtime to get Pulse Audio support through Java [20:55] skjoedt-: try asking in #ubuntu-motu (politely it is not a support channel so maybe you'll be a little offtopic) [20:55] erUSUL: Here is the output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/388529/ [20:56] okie, im outty, enjoy [20:56] neezer: you can get a small one just for your os that's around $129 [20:56] Sorry guys -- a little windows stuff stuck n my brain [20:56] synaptics pointing devices [20:56] fehlersturm: I don't know how to find my chipset. I am a ubuntu n00b. I know how to find it in Windows ;) [20:56] ... [20:56] blakkheim, a 1TB hard drive @ 7200 RPM has an average of 80MB/s. A 250B drive, same sepeed, has an average of 40MB/s [20:56] I'm using 10.04, and I find it odd that I didn't have to change a config file to port XXXX instead of 22 for my ssh. [20:56] ronnie__: Ubuntu uses the synaptics driver for mousepads as well. [20:56] ronnie__, synaptic pointing devices are hardware, not windows-related. Either way, yes sudo apt-get install synaptic should work. [20:56] skjoedt-: do not use sudo with configure scripts. only the make install needs sudo [20:56] SpaceGhostC2C, ronnie__: synaptics. [20:57] MindVirus, oops. Now I'm the one messing up. [20:57] fehlersturm, try lshw -html > hardware.htm and then open hardware.htm with firefox [20:57] My wifi card gets a much worse connection than Windows 7, and cuts out from time to time. Need assistance fixing it, perhaps using ndisgtk? lspci here: http://pastebin.com/D6bbHaPw please offer any assistance you can [20:57] Jon- lspci lists all pci devices lsmod all kernel modules which are loadet [20:57] *loaded [20:57] I did copy over my rsa key, but not any configuration files from my 9.10 partition. [20:57] !repeat | Jon- [20:57] Jon-: 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. [20:57] skjoedt-: that's only a warning. do a "make" and see if it succeeds [20:57] I am not real bright you have to work with me. I am trying. [20:57] hi, I need to install ubuntu in one pc, configure it with packages I need, and then replicate the config in other 10 pc, which is the best way? (pc hardware is different, i.e. different hd size, cpu, etc) [20:57] erUSUL: Do I use root for make then? [20:58] skjoedt-: no; only for the make install [20:58] markit: you could write a bash script [20:58] markit, get a list of packages you need and then install them individually. [20:58] fehlersturm: Well as you can see from the pastebin it's Atheros [20:58] hey guys, got ubuntu to boot from USB (I did the pendrivelinux method with a gig of presitance) I just got a quick question: Will it save my settings, such as my background and apps I install? and should the "Install Ubuntu 9.10" icon remain on the desktop? Does it think I'm trying to install it, or will I be able to use it as a "stand-alone" OS? [20:58] SpaceGhostC2C: but I have also to configure the programs / environment [20:58] markit, you can do an image. Ubuntu installs are not hardware-dependant. Also you can use reconstructos webpage to easily make a live cd that fits your needs. [20:58] erUSUL: Make command failed. No specified target. And ./configure didn't work without root. ./configure: line 2203: config.log: Permission denied [20:59] Nitsuga: image = .iso? [20:59] markit, *reconstructor [20:59] markit, then try saving the configs. usually located in ~/. or in /etc/ [20:59] markit, no, a hard disk image. [20:59] markit, the make-a-cd is a good option if you plan to do that every now and then [20:59] BTW thank you guys sooo much , no one would help me in the kubuntu chat [21:00] skjoedt-: that could be becouse of previous sudo ./configure runs. i would do a " sudo make clean " then start over with ./configure.... && make [21:00] Nitsuga: but restore an hd image created a partition of the same size, while I could have to do in a smaller one or bigger one [21:00] right now I have only one user on my server that has an ssh port open to the internet, is that a security risk because that user has admin rights? it is rsa key protected. [21:00] markit, try dpkg --get-selections | grep -v deinstall > ubuntu-files, then copy ubuntu-files to the other pc's and type on the other pc: sudo dpkg --set-selections < ubuntu-files [21:00] your tolerance of stupidity is admirable [21:00] Stargaze: for package list is a good tip, thanks === jono is now known as Guest38424 [21:00] VCoolio, I have two other hard drives and I don't see any lines in fstab like you described. [21:00] neezer: there are some good guides to securing ssh. you want to disable password login and root login and use a bigger rsa key than the default, and listen on a nonstandard port [21:01] erUSUL: sudo make clean failed. No rule to create target "clean" (roughly translated) [21:01] ronnie__: You haven't seen anything yet. [21:01] fehlestrum: Hey did you or anyone answer me? Sorry, my internet cut out. [21:01] !remastersys [21:01] skjoedt-: then do "sudo make" [21:01] I am listening on a non-standard port, and my rsa key is 4096. i have disabled password login. [21:01] we need a factoid for remastersys [21:01] hey guys, got ubuntu to boot from USB (I did the pendrivelinux method with a gig of presitance) I just got a quick question: Will it save my settings, such as my background and apps I install? and should the "Install Ubuntu 9.10" icon remain on the desktop?

No target. [21:02] Nitsuga: thanks a lot [21:02] If the user account has admin rights with sudo, will the sudo privilages go away if I disable root login? [21:02] Also is there a list of repositories I should add? (hope i said it right) [21:02] Flyzoola, if you use persistance it will save the changes. [21:02] skjoedt-: then sorry but i can not help further [21:02] neezer: no [21:02] erUSUL: Could it be that I extracted the tar.gz file wrong? [21:02] skjoedt-: unlikely [21:02] oh...so someone could log in as the username root? [21:02] neezer: they can login as their normal user and then do sudo su to become root [21:03] Jon-2: atheros¿ have you tried with linux-backport-modules¿¿ [21:03] Jon-2, is your wifi card internal or external (usb)? [21:03] Stargaze: It is internal. [21:03] neezer: disabling the root login just makes it so no one can directly ssh in as root [21:03] erUSUL: Okay. The only step where the guide was unclear. [21:03] Bookman: you mean you have two drives that already automatically mount with user permissions without being in fstab? Don't know about that; anyway, try it for the ones you want to add, it's the normal solution as far as I know [21:03] oh, if I disable root login, then the su command won't work? but sudo will? [21:03] Nitsuga: thank you! A quick question, why wont it let me install flash though? [21:03] xangua: No, I don't know what those are ;). I am very experienced computer user but not in a 'nix environment. [21:03] Flyzoola, it won't? [21:04] erUSUL: There is no restrictions for me being in my home/downloads dir, right? [21:04] i should prob UTFSE huh? [21:04] skjoedt-: correct [21:04] Nitsuga: no, I tried to install it off of firefox, and it told me that I couldn't. Gimme a sec, I'll let you know exactly what it's telling me.. [21:04] neezer: you can still use su AFTER they login as a normal user [21:05] Flyzoola, if you have a more-than-5GB usb drive consider installing ubuntu into it using the installer for better performance. You can get the "install ubuntu" icon by istalling "ubiquity (that will mirror your pendrive install into the install target) [21:05] Jon-2: you should try, i made my ahteros work that way; much better that ndiswrapper [21:05] xangua: How do I do it? [21:05] Hi folks, can anyone else confirm that gvfsd-metadata process is hogging 100% cpu? With a recent update in Karmic my system has become very unstable and nautilus frequently hangs/crashes [21:05] Jon- what pastebin? [21:05] Flyzoola, also don't use a pendrive for daily ubuntu use or it will sear out faster... [21:06] Flyzoola, *wear [21:06] Nitsuga: cannot find package "flashplugin-installer" [21:06] Flyzoola, you have to update the package lists [21:06] mmm interesting solutions but not trivial.

[21:08] i'm totally new to ubuntu and i need a LAMP server with RED5 on 2 seperate static IPS i feel a lot more confortable with ubuntu Desktop because of the visual UI is there a big drawBack of using desktop instead of server ??? [21:08] Flyzoola, it may be a video driver issue. [21:08] ok, thanks again :) [21:08] Four2zero: remove the ~ [21:08] i heard ubuntu server is only ubuntu desktop without UI [21:09] Four2zero: also there is no need for sudo there if you copy to your home folder [21:09] okay. [21:09] Madwill, you can run a server with a GUI, the server edition doesn't have a DE to save resources [21:09] thanks guys [21:09] Madwill, read this pdf, page 22 => http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4653463/issue9_en.pdf [21:09] Dropbox rules [21:10] so if i crawl around a little i could get a DE for a server [21:10] shairozan, it does :) [21:10] Stargaze, are you linking to fullcircle or something? [21:10] Madwill: why do you want a DE on a server?

[21:12] Stargaze, that IS fullcircle! ;) [21:12] Madwill: it's all the same code underneath. You can add the gui stuff to the server edition, or add servers to the desktop edition. In theory the result is the same, but in practice, I think it's easier to add servers to the desktop edition than vice-versa... [21:12] neezer: no prob, i've done a lot with ssh [21:12] create your own server ! will read it all [21:12] neezer: No problem. I am a super-windows power user, new to ubuntu but I learn fast. This wifi driver issue has my head spinnin tho. [21:12] neezer: it's probably my favorite unix/linux app :) [21:12] neurochrome, i have all the issues in my Dropbox, 34 now :) [21:12] hi [21:12] good luck jon-2 [21:13] in my "only" past experience it was the case [21:13] neezer: Thanks. I think I'll try backend driver, if I can figure out how to do it [21:13] Jon-2, from the experience: The more experienced on windows, the most difficult to use Ubuntu. [21:13] Stargaze, I have most, though I've come to the point where I feel plenty comfortable and only look at new issues once every six months or so [21:13] Jon-2, is it a broadcom driver? [21:13] Stargaze, only up to 31... damn [21:13] Nitsuga: Haha, I think that's quite true. I wanted to see if samba was running so I nearly automatically did winkey+r services.msc "damn." [21:13] neurochrome, also check http://www.ubuntu-user.com/ [21:13] I have my server set up and can ssh from remotely and everything. I want my buddy to be able to use windows in another city to stream media from it. I heard vlc can do this. and I've tried it with ubuntu and it works well, will it work with windows too? [21:14] blueglasses: It's Atheros see http://pastebin.com/D6bbHaPw [21:14] Stargaze, are you using Karmic? [21:14] now i'm in mint 8 === Commie_Cary is now known as Lenin_Cat [21:14] but normally Karmic yes [21:14] I have a problem i am not shure if it relates to pulseaudio or something else... i am running ubuntu 9.10 sound worked fine but suddenly it stopped working. or to be precise only the output stopped working. pulsaudio deamon is running. if i call someone through skype they can hear me. in the mixer i have selected the right hardware. the right autput modus (analog duplex). nothing is muted. i tried another soundcard for reference. no [21:14] luck (the modules for the sc are beeing loaded. so... any ideas what else i should look at?? P.S. i also used different cables/headphones [21:14] this is my systems exact hardware: http://zeug.gerade.org/hardware.htm [21:15] Jon-2, change it to alt-T > sudo status samba [21:15] Ah.... I was gonna ask you to humour me, but with it being a different system I don't know whether the issue/bug will be present [21:15] Arrgghh there she goes again. Back. [disconnected from wifi] [21:15] Jon-3, change it to alt-T > sudo status samba [21:16] Nitsuga: I use < Super > + q for terminal :D [21:16] VCoolio, when i ran the command without "sudo" i get a permission denied message. [21:16] Jon-3, the default is Alt-T :) [21:16] fehlersturm: I had good luck with http://www.ubuntugeek.com/fix-for-all-pulseaudio-related-issues.html, ymmv... [21:17] Nitsuga: I know. I also have D for show desktop, years and years and years of getting used to that, not switching to ctrl+alt+D anytime soon.

I had trouble with that at the beginning. [21:18] Atheros wifi card [08:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc.

[21:20] test [21:20] blueglasses: no I don't know what that is ;D [21:21] Is it a bad idea to run sshd on a port outside the privileged range? [21:21] Jon-3, its a package for atheros, you can find it in synaptics [21:21] blueglasses: Should I do an apt-get install? What does it do? [21:22] Jon-3, I never used it, but you can try [21:22] Mike_lifeguard: it's actually a *good* idea to run sshd on a non-standard port. It means attackers have trouble even finding your server, so it's more secure... [21:22] Jon-3, have you installed ndiswrapper for wifi? [21:22] Mike_lifeguard, it is a GREAT idea. [21:23] Four2zero: I didn't need sudo, but that may not be default; anyway, you now have a root file in your user folders; if at any time you want to remove it, you'll also need sudo [21:23] Losha, it isn't more secure by changing the port. [21:23] Losha: Yes, but does it matter if you use a port that's outside the privileged range to do that? [21:23] Jon-3, It adds more features to the basic IEEE 802.11 management [21:23] included in the kernel driver: using external RADIUS authentication [21:23] server for MAC address based access control, IEEE 802.1X Authenticator [21:23] and dynamic WEP keying, RADIUS accounting, WPA/WPA2 (IEEE 802.11i/RSN) [21:23] Authenticator and dynamic TKIP/CCMP keying.

[21:23] ok Loshas suggestion didnt work for me... since my system->preferences->sound looks completely different [21:24] Mike_lifeguard, you can choose any from the 65k+ ports [21:24] thanks everybody god peace you [21:24] Nitsuga, true [21:24] Nitsuga: well, there are about 65535 possible ports, so it makes port scanning much more tedious, impractical and noticeable. These things help security.... [21:24] I have a problem i am not shure if it relates to pulseaudio or something else... i am running ubuntu 9.10 sound worked fine but suddenly it stopped working. or to be precise only the output stopped working. pulsaudio deamon is running. if i call someone through skype they can hear me. in the mixer i have selected the right hardware. the right autput modus (analog duplex). nothing is muted. i tried another soundcard for reference. no [21:24] luck (the modules for the sc are beeing loaded. so... any ideas what else i should look at??

[21:25] Mike_lifeguard: You can choose any tcp port not already in use.... [21:25] blueglasses: installed, does it just work automatically? my connection strength is still weak. [21:25] ok, well I've done that already, so thanks :) [21:25] Losha, what I say is that if you have ssh in the port 26317, but you use "123456" as password the changed doesn't make things more secure. [21:25] fehlersturm: whenever i have problems and i'm not sure if it was a system change, i boot up a livecd and test it on that. [21:26] Hi, I can see another Ubuntu desktop on the network, but when I try to access it, it asks for username, workgroup and password. I don't know which workgroup to specify. If I leave the default, and specify the username and password of the remote host, it does not work. If I leave it blank it doesn't allow me...Where can I setup the workgroup for my Ubuntu PCs? [21:26] Nitsuga: I agree with that. Nevertheless, using a random port improves security in practice, because the attacker's search space gets much larger [21:26] Jon-4, try rebooting and waiting a bit [21:26] <_newbie4> Hi, it seems I have somehow only insatlled parts of kde within my ubuntu 9.10 installation- I didn't use the meta package. How would I make sure I remove all these individual parts before installing the meta package as I should have done, or is it necessary to remove everything? [21:26] blueglasses: It started the daemon, would the reboot really help? [21:26] dho_: well id like to use my system as it is now. not a new blank system.. [21:27] Jon-4, probably not, but sometimes yes. [21:27] _newbie4: no need to remove, just install the metapackage [21:27] <_newbie4> ok thanks mike [21:27] dho_: but i might try that to see if the HW is dead [21:27] <_newbie4> kubuntu-desktop, right? [21:27] fehlersturm: yeah yeah, just to test it... i'm not saying load clean. [21:27] _newbie4, in synaptic, search for everything KDE and delete it, then, in Terminal, type sudo apt-get autoremove [21:27] blueglasses Is there an easy way to test out ngiswrapper? How do I go back to what I have now if it doesn't work?

The [21:43] <_newbie4> ah yes, it did that for me too [21:43] difference between hold and keep is that hold will cause a package to be ignored by future safe-upgrade or full-upgrade commands, while keep merely [21:43] ikonia, git-submodule [21:43] fehlersturm: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

The problem I have is that it keeps hanging -- the screen will repaint but it won't act on my mouse clicks, including the 'X' button in the titlebar (so the click gets eaten and is dismissed). Any ideas what's going on? 'strace' only shows 'inotify_add_watch' of my homedir returning -1 ENOSPC (there's plenty of disk space). [22:11] Guest73174, what happens on the 'other' mode?

[22:14] JorgeJorgensson, can you write something? [22:14] JorgeJorgensson, maybe just the counter is bad. [22:14] i went to /etc/x11/xorg-config but nothing to be changed [22:14] erUSUL, The file system is fat32 and when gparted scans my HDD it says its corrupted but I can still enter it [22:15] how to restart my ssh-server [22:15] donvito: sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart [22:15] If i use foremost to try and recover data can i point it to this partition or will it overwrite it? [22:15] what is the editor when in a chroot env created with debootstarp ? [22:16] think you can always edit with vi [22:16] nitsuga: yeah i should have did the first time write down the error when i tried to boot it through the recovery kernel [22:16] Nitsuga, I tried saving a small text file and it worked [22:17] JorgeJorgensson, try with something bigger. [22:17] JorgeJorgensson, bigger that half of you RAM, to be precise. [22:17] Nitsuga, I don't have anything. [22:17] nitusga: but wait when i was in recover it loaded up the intram, something like that and it said it was looking for the filesystem then it replied something like ld/dev something i am about to do the recovery thing right down the error and come back [22:17] how can i change audio pitch on ubuntu? i have emu0404 sound card [22:18] HI All, I used to have a CVS server running under 9.04 , now trying to start it aafter upgrade to 9.1 and the cvs server doesnt come up, where can i see its log files to see what the problem is ?

[22:19] nitsuga: i will be back just give me like 2 mins to get the error from the recovery [22:19] Nitsuga, I have 4 GB of RAM and no file that is 2GB [22:19] ghostnik11, okay, go ahead! [22:19] something sort of like iphoto, but not picasa [22:19] JorgeJorgensson, or more than one file [22:19] Nitsuga, all I have is the live CD [22:19] JorgeJorgensson, fill the drive with 2GB of any data.

[22:21] no questions with that either [22:21] tomvolek_: /var/log/syslog ; /var/log/daemon.log and other files in /var/log/ [22:21] If i use foremost to try and recover data can i point it to this partition or will it overwrite it? [22:21] njbair, what about xserver-xorg-core ? [22:22] Nitsuga, I'm not sure what you are asking me to do here. [22:22] Nitsuga: nope [22:22] JorgeJorgensson, just check if you can write data to the disk [22:22] my x server just stopped working yesterday. I think something weird is going on [22:22] Nitsuga, no, I'm not sure about your writing random data process. [22:22] JorgeJorgensson, sometimes the kernel saves data to the cache while it waits for the disk to have space. If you fill that cache, you will get a no available free space error [22:23] how can i remove a version of an app from a ppa and go back to the version in the main repo? [22:23] JorgeJorgensson, the write random data thing is for see if you can write to the drive or not. [22:23] hey [22:23] Nitsuga, Ok, I don't know what to type on the command line.... [22:23] !hi | mkey [22:23] mkey: 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! [22:23] thanks erUSUL [22:24] cjohnston, remove the source then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [22:24] hey [22:24] Nitsuga, the drive check came back with no errors. [22:24] neurochrome: remove the source meaning aptitude remove --purge? [22:24] JorgeJorgensson, you were checking a mounted filesystem??? [22:24] Nitsuga, yes [22:24] cjohnston, no go to system >admin > software sources and remove from there [22:25] cjohnston: no remove the ppa repo from the softare Sources [22:25] JorgeJorgensson, you could trash the filesystem doing that [22:25] cjohnston: then reinstall the app [22:25] bbak [22:25] thanks neurochrome and erUSUL [22:25] Nitsuga, I did it from gparted [22:26] cjohnston, you can edit your sources manually using gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list --- but when you add a ppa then I think it gets its own source.list so remove it how I said above [22:26] JorgeJorgensson, umount it and check it again [22:26] s/gksudo gedit/sudo vi [22:26] cjohnston, no problem [22:26] JorgeJorgensson, as precaution, I don't want to trash your partition. [22:26] blakkheim, for a beginner I think vi / vim is a bit hopeful [22:27] blakkheim, realize that most people can't even get out of vi... [22:27] lol [22:27] blakkheim, if you'd have said nano then that would be more realistic [22:27] Nitsuga, it is running now [22:27] nitsuga: the kernel i am running is linux 2.6.31-19-generic [22:28] blakkheim, s/vi/emacs/g [22:28] blakkheim, the first time i tried it i had to go to a VC and kill -9 it :B [22:28] ghostnik11, and the error is... [22:28] erUSUL: neurochrome, it isnt providing me an upgrade package after removing source... nor can i reinstall [22:28] neurochrome: he wanted to edit a text file, emacs is a good os but lacks a good text editor :) [22:28] cjohnston, when you remove it you need to update the packages - sudo apt-get update [22:29] blakkheim, touche ;) [22:29] neurochrome: I removed the source and then did the update [22:29] cjohnston, weird, what package? [22:29] nitsuga: this is what i get in recovery: missing modules (cat /proc /modules; ls /dev) alert /dev/disk/by-uuid/08c7f565-ca69-4e5e-area-6b1df372d9af does not exist. dropping to a shell [22:29] gwibber [22:29] Is there a way to display/preview all available X-fonts (to use in urxvt) like xlsfonts? [22:30] where do you "drop" files for your iPod Touch (I've got it mounted but can't tell the directory structure)? [22:30] ghostnik11, great! We get the error, I i know how to solve it :D [22:30] er, where do you put music, video, photos, etc on your iPod Touch if you're accessing it via Nautilus? [22:30] nitsuga: wow how do i get to your level of ubuntu experience [22:31] ghostnik11, just use it. [22:31] cjohnston, did you remove the third party source and the authentication key? [22:31] ghostnik11, ask help here, and see how sonner or later someone has the same issue :D [22:31] the only folders I see on the iPod Touch are /DCIM/100APPLE [22:31] nitsuga: okay thanks for the advice [22:31] I unchecked the ppa source... and then did the reload.. then update [22:31] neurochrome: ^ [22:31] Frijolie, you need to install the correct ifuse ppa [22:32] ghostnik11, do you know in which device is Ubutnu installed (/dev/xxx) [22:32] cjohnston, remove the relevant authentication key also [22:32] nitsuga: i can get it for you hold on one sec [22:32] neurochrome, is "http://ppa.launchpad.net/jonabeck/ppa/ubuntu" not the right one? [22:32] ghostnik11, okay [22:33] Hi, does anyone knows a good tutorial explaining how to install dev version of soft that depend libraries newer than one of my distribution ? [22:33] neurochrome: how do i find out which one it is and remove it? [22:33] cjohnston, then do "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" [22:33] cjohnston, it'll have the same name as the ppa you added [22:34] where do I look neurochrome [22:34] nitsuga: i have it as /dev/sda1 for the ext3 filesystem, /dev/sda2 for extended and /dev/sda5 fore linux swap [22:34] cjohnston, first try sudo apt-get dist-upgrade just to be sure [22:34] Frijolie, http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/03/sync-iphone-and-ipod-touch-in-ubuntu.html [22:35] neurochrome: dist-upgrade gave nothing [22:35] Abend [22:35] ghostnik11, okay. I have to know your partition's UUID. execute sudo blkid /dev/sda1 [22:35] nitsuga: okay [22:35] cjohnston, system>admin>software sources then go to authentication tab and see what's there, then report back [22:35] Oh, good evening ^^ [22:35] neurochrome, I don't have an iPhone...i have an iPod [22:36] neurochrome, and it's not "firmware version 3" [22:36] nitsuga: /dev/sda1: UUID="08c7f565-ca69-4e5e-aeaa-6b1df372d9af" TYPE="ext4" [22:36] neurochrome: removed key.. update && upgrade still gave nothing [22:36] Frijolie, that guide should support ok, I'll give it a shot [22:37] ghostnik11, okay i don't know how to fix this. This is new, you UUID matche but you can moutn it anyway... [22:37] i've just upgraded to the latest 10.04-dev, but i didnt find the new theme/light look in there, the purple background was installed, are the new themes in -dev yet? and if not what is the eta? [22:37] ghostnik11, idea! i now know how to fix it. [22:37] cjohnston, strange - post the version output of sudo apt-cache show gwibber [22:37] ghostnik11, sorry to ask again, do you run karmic? [22:38] does FreeBSD work decent on ubuntu? [22:38] * I^llGetOverIt sweet dreams are made of this [22:38] blerk, #ubuntu+1 [22:38] im having trouble with the built in webcam on my laptop [22:38] or work at all for that matter [22:38] Mr-Grey, sure, as a virtual appliance [22:38] neurochrome: Version: 2.29.91~bzr630-0ubuntu1~daily1 [22:38] nitsuga: yeah i run karmic koala [22:38] ghostnik11, mount you ubutnu install and tell me where did you mount it. [22:38] cjohnston, what version of ubuntu you on? [22:39] who knows what about KDE? [22:39] Excellent thank you stdisease. I'm in hopes it will solve my problem with my webcam. The cam is not really important but it's bugging me to get it to work. [22:39] nitsuga: okay [22:39] neurochrome: lucid [22:40] neurochrome, http://pastebin.com/kmvswEyV (Unmet dependencies) [22:40] neurochrome, "broken packages" [22:40] cjohnston, well, I honestly couldn't tell you what _should_ be there then, it is still alpha after all, only another tester could confirm that theirs is different or the same [22:40] nitsuga: i can't mount it b/c it is a ext 4 filesystem and my ubuntu 8.10 running from my external hard drive is telling me it can't mount it [22:40] neurochrome: thats the package from the daily.. but it hasnt been working for a few days [22:40] cjohnston: check "about" of various applications. People in credits know a little. [22:40] 8.10 maybe that doesn't have kernel with support for ext4 [22:40] ghostnik11, ouch! [22:41] stdisease: yeah that is what it is saying [22:41] ghostnik11, mm I think you can change it in grub anyway... [22:41] nitsuga: what do i have to change [22:41] thanks neurochrome and apn [22:41] cjohnston, I'd remove and re-install - sudo apt-get purge gwibber [22:41] ghostnik11, install a newer kernel on your 8.10, or compile a new on, 2.6.33 is on kernel.org [22:42] whats the fstab entry to create to make a drive auto mount, and give full read/write permissions to everyone? [22:42] ghostnik11, well, try this: in the grub menu (hold shift when loading) press the "e" key. look for UUID=08c7f565-ca69-4e5e-aeaa-6b1df372d9af and change it into /dev/sda1 . [22:42] Frijolie, what version of Ubuntu are you using? [22:42] seanbrystone_: depends on the filesystem used [22:42] ext4 [22:42] neurochrome, 9.10 [22:43] stdisease: i have never complied a kernel in my life but i am about to try what nitsuga just said if not then i will have to learn how to compile a kernel for 8.10 [22:43] can someone teach me how to find and close processes? like programs that are no longer responding, etc [22:43] fallore, htop [22:43] fallore: pkill nameoftheprocess [22:44] Frijolie, well if you have all sources enabled then I couldn't tell you why that fails to work - so long as you added the ppa (sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pmcenery/ppa) [22:44] how do i determine the name of the process, erusul? is there a command to list them or something? [22:44] fallore: ps aux for example [22:44] fallore, you can just use top instead of htop [22:44] fallore: pkill firefox; pkill gedit; etc... usually is the command name [22:45] ok, thanks erusul :) [22:45] and everyone else! [22:45] neurochrome, you got prob with htop? [22:45] seanbrystone, no it just ins't installed by default and top is [22:45] Fallore: On my ubuntu I have a System Monitor application under the System menu which you can then go to processes and locate it that way if you plan on using the GUI [22:45] i'm trying to run "apt-get install php5-dev" but i get this error, "Err http://us.archive.ubuntu.com hardy-updates/main libssl-dev 0.9.8g-4ubuntu3.3". how do i fix this? [22:45] s/ins't/isn't/g [22:45] ghostnik11, you can also try mounting as ext3 if you're lucky it'll mount if not, just fetch .deb kernels from a newer ubuntu release and sudo dpkg -i <.deb> them [22:45] hi, who can help me? i dont know how install amsn in ubuntu, i cannot enter in synaptic. please help me [22:46] thanks Mr-Grey! i wasn't sure what that did, should've checked it out. [22:46] neurochrome, yeah so? how hard is it to install? lol its not a huge program. [22:46] neurochrome, i'm going through it again...we'll see if it's any different. Is it worth an "upgrade-manager -d"? [22:46] fallore: Anytime [22:46] does any1 know if i can close Transmission then run it later without it losing my incomplete downloads? [22:46] seanbrystone, wow no need to get beefy ;) [22:46] rawake, try 'apt-get update' first [22:47] Tatsuya6400, sure, it'll pick up where it left off [22:47] fallore, if you have a frozen window you cn use xkill to kill it by clicking on it. [22:47] how do i do that, nitsuga? [22:47] thx i was wary to try it myself lol [22:47] fallore, press alt-f2 and type xkill [22:47] stdisease: heh thanks [22:47] patri: what do you mean you can't enter in synaptic [22:47] Frijolie, possibly, if you foolow it to the letter then it should be ok [22:47] oh great :D thanks Nitsuga [22:47] Tatsuya6400: sure; bittorrents downloads can be restatrted [22:47] neurochrome, same result..all repos are enabled in "Software Sources" and just did a "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" [22:48] fallore, to cancel press right button [22:48] Frijolie, did you add the relevant ppa [22:48] neurochrome, the "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pmcenery/ppa"? Yes [22:49] Nitsuga, this disk check is taking a very long time. [22:49] Frijolie, couldn't tell you then sorry [22:49] gtg [22:49] JorgeJorgensson, humm... i hope you didn't break the filesystem :( [22:49] you almost dont even need the terminAl [22:50] Ah, so xkill kills the process you currently have loaded upon the screen correct? [22:50] thats crazy [22:50] or the "active window" I could say [22:50] just give the run as admin option on pop up menu [22:50] Mr-Grey, technically it forcefully closes the window. That will kill most porcesses, but some may choose to continue [22:51] join #ubuntu-offtopic [22:51] Mr-Grey, it changes the cursor to an X, click o a window, and it's gone! [22:51] were can i find the /www/ folder on ubuntu [22:51] Excellent tip to know Nitsuga, thank you kindly :) [22:51] donvito2, /var/www [22:52] hi [22:52] I feel like a kid in a candy store learning all of this. I've been wanting to learn linux for years just never had the patience to actually do it but I'm not getting any younger [22:52] nitsuga: nope didn't work at all [22:52] !yay | Mr-Grey [22:52] Mr-Grey: Glad you made it! :-) [22:53] lol me too! [22:53] Hi, I was wondering if I don't update for awhile, and their are multiple kernel updates in that time, will I be able to update to the latest one, or will I have to update to each missed one in order? [22:53] I feel comfortable enough to be classified as a user within the terminal [22:53] nitsuga: it said /dev/sda1 was not there or something like that but when i was looking in the edit file it said root hd 0,1 [22:54] Mr-Grey, i was just like that 5 years ago when i first got here, and kinda still am sometimes [22:54] nitsuga: then when i was booting off my external harddrive it said the same uuid but hd 0,4 [22:54] ghostnik11, it is ok, now grubs uses 1-based count for partitions. [22:54] I am using gentoo linux and am having an issue with Firefox. I want to determine if this issue is specific to gentoo linux's portage installations of firefox or if it applies to ALL linux-versions of firefox. ------> Using Firefox's integrated print preview I have been unable to remove the header showing the title of the page (on left) and the url (on right). I was able to remove these headers w [22:54] hen actually printing, but not when print previewing. Is this issue specific to gentoo or my installation of firefox, or is this an issue with linux-based firefox entirely? [22:54] mizerydearia, #gentoo [22:54] o_o [22:54] Nitsuga, ok, whew finished. [22:54] mizerydearia, hm nm [22:54] ^_^ [22:55] ghostnik11, mmm... that's weird. [22:55] datz, skipping is perfectly fine [22:55] JorgeJorgensson, check the uoutut of fsck in the details section of the progress window in gparted [22:55] nitsuga: any other ideas that i can try for now b/c i have to go to go check on my bacteria in lab and i wont be back till 9:30 are you going to still be in the chat room [22:56] Nitsuga, I will pastebin [22:56] Elrox: When I installed ubunto it found all of my hardware and installed the proper drivers except a webcam I'm not concerned about so I basicly just made a true switch from Windows. With windows 7 etc I don't have 200 bucks to fork over to them and plus I like the comunity of people who do not mind helping out with questions. You can never get that kind of support out of microsoft [22:56] what are you growin? [22:57] e-coli? ^^ [22:57] mizerydearia, seems all firefoxen do that [22:57] is there a channel for ubuntu networking? [22:57] cyberbluntz: well it is not a research lab is, it is just microbiology lab and we grow stuff like E. coli, S. aureus [22:57] Nitsuga, pastebin.ca/1823241 [22:57] stdisease, Windows version does remove the headers in print preview, so it is not all firefoxen. [22:57] ghostnik11, not likely. [22:57] hey developers, which way is the most efficient way to manipulate pixels in gtk+ or gtkmm? [22:57] cyberluntz: today i have to go start my unknown and try to determine what I have [22:57] ghostnik11, also i got out of ideas, sorry. You can try using another kernel. [22:57] mizerydearia, you said all linux versions :-D [22:57] thats neat, I dabble a little in mycology :) [22:58] !forums [22:58] The Ubuntu forums can be found at http://www.ubuntuforums.org. There is also a channel on IRC Freenode #ubuntuforums. [22:58] Hi, I was wondering if I don't update for awhile, and their are multiple kernel updates in that time, will I be able to update to the latest one, or will I have to update to each missed one in order that it was released? [22:58] ! smp forum [22:58] i'm wondering what is the real difference among pixmap, pixbuff, rgb, drawable ... [22:58] !smp forum [22:58] !phpbb2 [22:58] the creators probably [22:58] nitusga: its okay man, i will figure it out but thanks for the help when i get a chance to i will try to use the first kernell that i had when i first install 9.10 [22:59] datz, skipping is generally OK, but there may be some differences in the way config files are handled, they should work pretty well [22:59] what kinda scope do you get to use? [22:59] what kind of forums support ubuntu [22:59] stdisease, I did. You said "All firefoxen" [22:59] sorry im !ot | cyberbluntz [22:59] mizerydearia, within the 'all linux versions' scope you gave me to work with [22:59] * mizerydearia chuckles [23:00] chili555: I am talking about kernel updates. Is that what you were referring to? [23:00] datz, yes, indeed [23:00] okay, im running ubuntu 9.10 and am connected to my network wirelessly. I have installed samba and i have created a test folder by following a tutorial. I am able to see: " Places>Network " but in that directory are three folders "mshome; myhome; workgroup" ubuntu will not allow me to open these directory. [23:00] cyberbluntz, we don't get to use anything big its just a lab class for us bio majors but we use electric microscope with the highest power being 100x and we are allowed to use oil immersion [23:00] so i'm trying to upgrade RubyGems to 1.3.6 with gem update --system, but I get: gem update --system is disabled on Debian? what to do? [23:01] cyberbluntz: hey i got to go but next time we can discuss more stuff on bacteria, later [23:01] I have never got a peek through an electron yet =-/ but then again, i'm taking networking and security :) [23:01] nitsuga: thanks again for your help, really apreciate it [23:01] chili555: great. :) I realized that apt-get upgrade doesn't update the kernel when there are updates released, and I'd rather keep my system up... just was wondering what would happen when kernel updates pile up. ;) === mike_ is now known as Guest99052 [23:01] bye === HalfWord is now known as Half-Word [23:02] look me upin ot if you wanna chat [23:02] datz, it doesn't? it has for me [23:02] Nitsuga, the results seem ok.

[23:03] chili555: looking at the update log, almost looks like it does though.. === Half-Word is now known as HalfWord [23:03] JorgeJorgensson, yes, the look right [23:03] datz, how did you determine it didnt? apt-get didnt and Update Mnger did? [23:03] Hey. Anyone know how to add a cdrom repository in ubuntu-server? [23:03] JorgeJorgensson, now try to mount it and see if you have free space (use df -h) [23:03] Hello some one here know how to unlock a Ipod 3G??? === zleap1 is now known as zleap [23:03] howcan I change the command prompt to say something else without renaming my home directory? [23:04] Samuel_: apt-cdrom add ? === TrekCaptain is now known as Trek [23:04] datz, did you run apt-get update first and then upgrade? [23:04] cyberbluntz: tweak the PS1 env variable [23:04] cyberbluntz: man bash [23:04] Hello some one here know how to unlock a Ipod 3G?? [23:04] that thing is way big dude [23:04] ivedone it [23:04] chili555: well I ran apt-get upgrade once before, and when I got to the GUI, I noticed that there were only kernel updates availiable, so I figured it skipped them. but maybe their were quickly more kernel updates in that time period. [23:04] Nitsuga, I normall just mount with Nautilus [23:04] isnt there a way to narrow it down? [23:04] JorgeJorgensson, mount it with nautilus [23:04] cyberbluntz: you can search, /PS1 hit enter [23:05] JorgeJorgensson, but check the space with df -h [23:05] chili555: yes, I ran update first [23:05] Nitsuga, 0 bytes free [23:05] ok ty [23:05] datz, maybe it wants dist-upgrade not just upgrade [23:05] JorgeJorgensson, D: [23:05] cyberbluntz: but basycally you can do export PS1="mysocoolpromtfromhell--->" and it will work [23:05] stdisease: I don't think so,I was using 9. [23:05] 9.10 [23:05] datz, the apt routine _should_ be identical to Update Mgr, AFAIK [23:06] chili555: ok, thanks. I wasn't sure about that [23:06] datz, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [23:06] well, then I have another question, if I don't restart the system and just to update and upgrade again after there are more kernel updates, will there be a problem? === Swagger is now known as Woolin [23:07] Nitsuga, I assume I'm beat here? [23:07] datz, unlikely imho [23:07] JorgeJorgensson, I can't find anything on google... [23:07] stdisease: ok thanks [23:07] datz, not beyond minor config changes, but those are usually quite minor and easy to fix [23:08] chili555: ok. I guess it is probably better to restart the system after kernel updates anyway... [23:08] and not install them and let them pile up [23:08] datz, i agree [23:08] and to reset? thx for the time save btw :) [23:09] Does anyone run both KDE and Gnome switching between the 2 at the login screen?

[23:14] Hi, I'm on version 9.4 and want to upgrade to 9.10. I'm using andLinux however and I never thought about Kernel modules / etc. Is there a way I can migrate *most* of my system over to 9.10, or use the 9.10 sources for some packages? [23:14] duncanidaho1, none, sorry, I have both running fine together [23:14] mizerydearia; if I go into about:config in Firefox and search for header, by blanking out print.print_headerleft and print.print_headerright they remain gone both in Print Preview and when I actually print the document. That might help you. [23:15] stdisease, ok thanks [23:16] JorgeJorgensson, i found something you can try [23:17] why does ubuntu disconnects my wifi ? [23:17] JorgeJorgensson, umount the partition and run tune2fs -r 0 /dev/xxx , where xxx it your device name [23:17] when downloading in progress. [23:17] Hey guys, i know my partition is screwed up, but when I go to view something on it like a Aerosmith album I get weird characters like α⌐1c┴áαú.? ┌ for one song whats this mean?

[23:18] Purpley, try to fix the partition first with fsck or from a live CD, it means the data on your disk may be really corrupted [23:19] stdisease, Does that mean I probably wont retrieve it? [23:19] Purpley, hard to say, you could retrieve some or all of it after your attempt to repair [23:20] Does anyone here knows if WPA2 bug (reconnecting) will be resolved on Ubuntu 10.04??? [23:20] smuggle, #ubuntu+1 [23:20] Im following ubuntu's guide on using ddrescue, Can I just be booted up instead of on a live cd because the partition is seperate from this one and nothing is writing to it because its unmounted? [23:20] Nitsuga, I'm just searching the forums and this "mystery fill" is not uncommon. [23:21] stdisease: I didn't understand..

[23:22] ok.. thanks [23:22] hello [23:23] Oh good I hate live cd's :/ [23:23] I like live cds [23:24] I like them, too. [23:25] how do i make it so that my users won't add anything to their desktop? or change the names of the folders that are already on their desktop? [23:25] live-CDs can save windows boxes,,, for others of course, but you're still the hero when you recover someone's corrupt windoz box ;-) [23:25] I have an external drive that has music on it. The drive letters keep changing on boot. How do I stop that behavior? [23:25] I want to kill a process with PID of 2093, but I'm not sure how to. I tried using sudo top, then k to kill it and the PID, but it isn't doing the trick. [23:26] storm-zen, get their UUIDs and and set them in /etc/fstab [23:26] just a quick question does ubuntu have support for usb speakers or no ? [23:26] Elrox: Ok. I'll look into that. Thanks. [23:27] Is there an applet for wicd ? [23:27] neezer, kill , kill -9 for more stubborn processes [23:27] anyone else know how to get rid of a zero byte free problem on a hard disk? [23:28] hello, could someone give me a pointer about virtual hosts? -- I'm trying to use name-based virtual hosting purely for local development on my own laptop. I'm trying to follow this page, and its links: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/vhosts/ -- my bottom line goal is simply to have a separate document roots for separate development projects on my laptop. my httpd.conf right now: http://paste.ubuntu.com/388590/ -- but the second virtual host directive doesn' [23:28] stdisease, is the PID going to be the same one that I see in top? [23:28] jzacsh, you almost certainly are not using Apache 1.3. [23:28] neezer, sure if it's the same app that's been running all along === xshadow is now known as ventura [23:28] neezer: kill 2093 [23:28] can someone help me with a sound problem im useing usb speakers but getting no sound ? [23:29] who works for ubuntu here? [23:29] storm-zen, here's an example of the command... sudo vol_id --uuid /dev/sda1 [23:29] I've a problem with the cp-command. when I write cp -p folder-a/ folder-b/ so I get only omitting-messages. nothig is copied. how I can change that? [23:29] Red_HamsterX: I'm using apahce 2.2.12 [23:29] lacysinx: install padevchooser and open it, it should allow you to select the USB speakers [23:29] Elrox: That helps. Thanks. :) [23:29] needed to do sudo kill -9 2093....thanks for the help guys. [23:30] Red_HamsterX: OH! thanks! [23:30] lacysinx: It's a program called Pulse Audio Device Chooser [23:30] Red_HamsterX: Idk how I got to the 1.3 docs! thank you [23:30] it just keeps starting back up...It is folding at home, and it is on my headless server. [23:30] I want to stop it cause it is starting to get warm out here and I don't want the server to overheat. [23:31] Elrox: Is there anything that goes from mount-point to UUID? [23:31] how do i run firefox as a root? [23:31] total noobie to ubuntu btw [23:31] stukz: That's a bad idea [23:31] <_ting__> hi [23:31] !uuid [23:31] To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [23:31] stukz: What are you intending to do? [23:31] <_ting__> could anyone help me? [23:32] im trying to get the webcam to work [23:32] <_ting__> I am trying to create a new user in with has a "_" [23:32] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1226722&page=2 [23:32] <_ting__> Realtek_guest, but i am not allow to use "_" [23:32] it said that they got it to work after running firefox as a root [23:32] erUSUL: That doesn't give me mount point. It gives me device. [23:32] <_ting__> is a way to force it? [23:32] storm-zen: cat /proc/mounts [23:33] _ting__: no [23:33] hey [23:33] jzacsh, if you have any specific questions, you can PM me. Otherwise, it might be a good idea to ask in an Apache/web-development channel. Ubuntu doesn't do anything weird, aside from how it divides sites; that process, and the 'a2ensite' utility, are well-documented on the Internet. [23:33] erUSUL: Well, that gets me closer. I was looking for a one-step solution from mount-point to UUID. I'll just map it manually. [23:33] <_ting__> jarr [23:33] <_ting__> shit [23:33] <_ting__> thanks anyway [23:34] anyone else unable to access ANY canonical-related website? === imogen is now known as dfjghjkdhfkjhgf [23:34] how can i test my sound ?

[23:36] jepster; You're getting the omitting-message because cp doesn't do directories without being told to .. if you just want the files inside you can try cp -p folder-a/* folder-b/ but if you want the whole folder structure, try cp -r folder-a/ folder-b/ [23:36] Akkernight, compile the sourcecode [23:36] anyone here familiar with unionfs? [23:36] gulo: this works, thanks. [23:37] OerHeks, as in make others compile it? That's not cool at all :P Anyways, I did try sending another linux guy the executable with the needed files, it didn't work [23:37] jepster, yw :) [23:37] Hello, I've reformatted my /boot/ partition using gparted, and now i need to know how I can restore the files it needs using the liveCD [23:37] i installed it and still no sound === DeluXeUser is now known as atrice === atrice is now known as Atrice [23:39] I have a process that's been running for days and has generated a huge log file, I want to clean up the log file and have the process continue logging [23:39] nevermind i figured it out thanks MilitantPotato [23:39] sup gents [23:40] I have a Acer TravelMate 2200 with Windows wireless driver installed via ndiswrapper. I can connect to router if there is no wireless security, but when I put WPA on, I cannot connect. [23:40] I puased the process with kill -s STOP pid, cleaned up the log file, and then kill -s CONT pid but it's not logging anymore. For further reference, how would I be able to do this? [23:40] real quick question: i've had an ubuntu server install for months and decided to install the ubuntu-desktop package as i wanted to try out XBMC. What optimizations have been done for the server kernel and will it affect performance with the desktop environment? [23:41] i should have said "with respect to the desktop environment" [23:42] w00tz_: that's a strange one... usually in a situation where the file is being used by the OS, i either copy the file, or write a script to clean up STDIN so you can tail -f the log file into the script. [23:42] w00tz_: it may not be possible, depending on how the programmer arranged to create/update the log file. If the programmer was lazy enough, the only way might be to restart the process. Which process btw? [23:42] hi all, i want to install ubuntu 64 bit along with currently-installed ubuntu 32 bit and windows xp, i have problems with the partition table, or i dont know what should i do in order to create a new partition for the 64 system. can anyone help me ?

[23:53] rahduke: In terminal [23:54] NewWorld: strangely, it works on another ubuntu system (8.10 Backtrack 4) [23:54] HI all!
