[00:24] yeah [00:24] Solar_Flare: I see. I want the process not to run but I certainly want the package. [00:24] blakkheim, money won't likely be an issue.

[00:26] Hi [00:27] Solar-Flare: Mindvirus makes total sense, or if you don't want to totally delete it, remove it from Startup [00:27] hi kotaro [00:27] hello there [00:27] NewWorld; ok i'll google out that then [00:27] i am having trouble with apache tomcat6 installation on ubuntu [00:27] Using kubuntu 9.10 I can't seem to connect wirelessly to my home wireless connection or to unpassworded hotspots. I can (and currently am) connected via ethernet cable [00:27] vianocturna85: It's not in my startup applicatinos. [00:27] *applications [00:27] Solar_Flare: I want to kill the damn process. [00:27] mclark1128: I presume you've tried grub-install /dev/sda2 ? [00:27] duncanidaho: Are you able to connect wirelessly at all? [00:27] can anyone tell me how to log into the webapp [00:27] Ubuntu 9.10 on a Dell Inspiron 9400 with Stereo and Subwoofer/LFE-speakers. How do I change the volume of the LFE? Up until 9.04 it was just selecting Main/PCM and LFE with Ctrl in Sound Preferences and it was solved, but how do I control the LFE volume in 9.10? [00:27] Solar_Flare: That's it. [00:27] <_ting__> hi [00:28] Yes, and I get the same error [00:28] 6y7u89o0p['] [00:28] but my MBR is actually sda === Mowee is now known as Mowee`Bnc [00:28] MindVirus: UNINSTALL THE PACKAGE "maximus" and only that if you dont want maximus ever again. I did that on my netbook [00:28] Solar_Flare: As I said, forget anything I said. [00:28] mclark1128: which live cd are you using? [00:28] Mindvirus: open a terminal, type 'top' without the quotes, look at Maximus, and there is a number before it at the beginning of the line...note that, then type 'kill ' [00:28] mclark1128: setup (hd0) << installs GRUB to the MBR [00:28] Could someone with expertise in multi-graphic card use help me? I have two ATI cards and struggle to get them both at the sametime. [00:28] vianocturna85: I know what I'm doing. I killed the process many times. [00:28] <_ting__> could anyone help me with this: The following packages have unmet dependencies: [00:28] <_ting__> nvidia-glx-195-dev: Depends: nvidia-glx-195 (>= 195.36.03) but it is not going to be installed wine: Depends: wine1.2 but it is not going to be installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution). [00:28] Ubuntu 9.10 [00:29] <_ting__> I tried to run the apt-get -f install but nothing [00:29] I also should point out that my /boot partition is essentially blank, except for any files grub added to the /boot/grub directory [00:29] Which I think is another major factor in the problem I'm having [00:29] _ting__: Try install wine first? [00:29] Solar_Flare: I want to do something. You're telling me to do something else that will accomplish what I want but also will cause a huge list of unneeded side-effects. [00:29] Mindvirus: this is a stab in the dark here, but have you tried...just to test, restarting the pc...i know this isnt windows, but it wouldnt hurt [00:29] Solar_Flare: So, stop saying it please. [00:29] I tried to basically copy the files from the /boot directory on the livecd to the one on my hdd, but I don't think it's the same. [00:30] <_ting__> no, i just want to install wine, but the nvidia is giving me a problem [00:30] mclark1128: 9.10 uses grub2. I don't think you can use it to install a legacy grub. Didn't you say you were trying to install grub1 ? [00:30] vianocturna85: I will try other methods for now. === fcn_ is now known as fcn [00:31] @mclark1128 no [00:31] Mindvirus: It just makes no sense, its not in your startup, killing doesnt work... [00:31] MindVirus: write a bash script, that kills maximus at startup. last solution. [00:31] MindVirus, If you go to a terminal and do service maximus status, what happens? [00:31] Solar_Flare: Look. Killing maximus makes it open again, so something is monitoring the process. [00:31] mclark1128: root (hd?,?) <<< where first '?' is the number of the hard drive (start counting at 0) and the second '?' is the number of partition (start counting at 0) [00:31] Solar_Flare: That means that I can change something in the process monitor. [00:31] mclark1128: But that has to be done in GRUB [00:32] dsnyders: One second. [00:32] MindVirus, what's this maximum anyway.. if it's a system service try to disable with update-rc.d [00:32] dsnyders: Unrecognized service. [00:32] weather applet acts weird. it shows correct values for all cities except the one I live in! [00:32] stdisease, maximus is a utility that opens all windows maximized. [00:32] stdisease: it maximizes the windows in the netbook remix. [00:32] so you have more windowspace ^^ [00:32] _ting__: Install that nvidia package then :) [00:32] dsnyders, stdisease: It is not a service, I don't think. [00:32] It has to do with gnome-session. [00:33] Could someone with expertise in multi-graphic card use help me? I have two ATI cards and struggle to get them both at the sametime. [00:33] It's definitely not a service, actually. [00:33] I am trying to set up a home mail server, and I'm almost there, but courier won't let me log in [00:33] MindVirus, might it hook into compiz? [00:33] NewWorld: Good news, I just tried the restart after running the grub cmds root (hd0, 0) setup (hd0) and I'm back up and running again! [00:33] dsnyders: It is unrelated. [00:33] MindVirus: Did you disable it in 'Sessions'? [00:33] NewWorld: It's not there. [00:33] it keeps telling me that I have an incorrect password, even though I have verified it in the mysql database [00:33] NewWorld; when i run: setup (hd0) i get output: Cannot mount selected partition [00:33] Losah: Thanks to you as well, now the only problem is getting my windows 7 install to appear on the menu, and to some [00:33] Losha* [00:33] anyone feel like helping me troubleshoot? [00:34] !ask | holmser [00:34] holmser: 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. :-) [00:34] mclark1128: I'm glad... but the commands I told you should be issued when you go into terminal and run 'grub' as a command. :S [00:34] NewWorld: They were, while chrooted to my drive inside the livecd [00:34] resolver: Are you running from LiveCD or the actual Ubuntu installation? [00:34] NewWorld; live cd [00:34] mclark1128: That's good so it works? :) [00:34] MindVirus: You said it _was_ in sessions. [00:34] dsnyders, stdisease, NewWorld, Solar_Flare: I found this file /etc/xdg/xdg-une/autostart/maximus-autostart.desktop. [00:34] <_ting__> NewWorld, Errors were encountered while processing: [00:34] <_ting__> /var/cache/apt/archives/nvidia-glx-195_195.36.03-0ubuntu1~karmic~nvidiavdpauppa2_i386.deb [00:34] <_ting__> E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [00:35] NewWorld: I said it was owned by gnome-session. [00:35] NewWorld: Yes, now I just need to get my Win7 partition on the menu [00:35] mclark1128: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst [00:35] With grub2 I had it nice and hooked up to only show the latest kernel on the menu as well [00:35] MindVirus, huh xdg - shouda known [00:36] I have ubuntu 9.10 installed everything is up and running great. So I thought I'd give KDE a try. I installed it, everything seems to be great but getting a wireless connection. I can see signals that are broadcast but I cannot get connected (in KDE, in Gnome it still works) [00:36] stdisease: I have no idea what that is. [00:36] Is it possible to make grub graphical, or is that an entirely separate installation? [00:36] resolver: wow that is really weird that it can't install to the MBR! :O I'm not really sure what to do now :/ [00:36] mclark1128: What you mean graphical? GRUB is menu loader... X server isn't running then. [00:37] *well it's not exactly a 'menu loader' [00:37] NewWord: I thought there was some way to have a graphical bootloader, but perhaps not [00:37] like an idiot, i accidentally rm -rf /usr/local/lib/libcurl* any suggestions? :( i'm on ubuntu-hardy [00:38] _ting__: Try t oinstall that deb package with dpkg directly. Read the man page on the parmater that you need to issue to install the .deb [00:38] It certainly serves it's purpose, I just wanted check if I could somehow get a nice prettier looking version. [00:38] jabba-wok: reinstall libcurl? [00:38] jabba-wok: reinstall the package [00:38] does anyone know the name of the weather applet that nearby clock [00:38] fcn: "clock". [00:38] jabba-wok, sudo apt-get install --reinstall libcurl [00:38] I have ubuntu 9.10 installed everything is up and running great. So I thought I'd give KDE a try. I installed it, everything seems to be great but getting a wireless connection. I can see signals that are broadcast but I cannot get connected (in KDE, in Gnome it still works) [00:38] fcn: It's all one applet. [00:39] MindVirus: So did you move the maximus.desktop file? [00:39] thanks MindVirus [00:39] sounds like it was curl installed from upstream source pkg [00:39] NewWorld: More inspection is needed before I can do that. [00:39] mclark1128: there are splash screens for grub, but I don't use them myself.... [00:39] i did an aptitude reinstall libcurl [00:39] but that didn't seem to help [00:39] MindVirus: Move it and reboot. You don't lose anything since it's backed up wherever you moved it. [00:39] jabba-wok: What's the problem though? [00:40] Losha: I just came across the 'pretty colors' option in menu.lst and uncommented it [00:40] holy dear sweet baby jesus. I just sent my first email from my mail server [00:40] I'll see if that helps at all ;) [00:40] i'm trying to do a pip install pycurl [00:40] NewWorld: But, I don't want to stop it from autostarting when a netbook session is started. [00:40] holmser: :D [00:40] and that errors out [00:40] NewWorld: So, wait. [00:40] now if only I could connect through imap [00:40] holmser: and what did jesus reply? [00:40] apt-get install --reinstall libcurl --> E: Couldn't find package libcurl [00:40] MindVirus, There is a site i'm looking at that says to go to System>Preferences>Sessions. It also mentions something called ume-launcher. The site is http://www.ubuntumini.com/2009_01_01_archive.html and the section is about 2/3 of the way down. It says you have to restart gdm afterwards. [00:40] MindVirus: You are very picky in what you want done lol :P [00:40] he told me "good job, go kill someone" [00:40] holmser, lucky you, I have smtp blocked in & out [00:40] I have ubuntu 9.10 installed everything is up and running great. So I thought I'd give KDE a try. I installed it, everything seems to be great but getting a wireless connection. I can see signals that are broadcast but I cannot get connected (in KDE, in Gnome it still works) [00:40] holmser: ah so, the usual [00:41] jabba-wok: apt-cache search libcurl [00:41] mclark1128: might wanna cp -r boot boot.save just to be safe... [00:41] jabba-wok: the repo pkg may have a slightly different name [00:41] exactly. or maybe it was "start a holy war" [00:41] jabba-wok: Go into synaptic and search for 'libcurl' it propably has some suffix or smth [00:41] NewWorld: Yep.

I'm done [00:42] I installed xmms2 and then promoe now promoe wont play mp3's. can anyone help? fyi im not very bright [00:42] duncanidaho1, network manager is flaky , if you run wicd on most laptops with kde on karmic your wifi should work. Installing wicd disables network manager [00:43] Hey guys im trying to recover a bunch of my music from a corrupt partition, how can I recover them? Scalpel isnt for music, the directory will contain .wav .flac .mp3 .wma and common music formats like that what should I use? [00:43] ronnie: Does it not make a sound... or does it not react when you press play (like the seeker doesn't move) [00:43] whenever i use apt-get or aptitude, i always get this error .. can i ignore it? or should i fix it ? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/w5qiuzuq [00:43] NewWorld It doesnt do anything when i push play [00:43] !recover > Purpley1 [00:43] Purpley1, please see my private message [00:43] Ubuntu 9.10 on a Dell Inspiron 9400 with Stereo and Subwoofer/LFE-speakers. How do I change the volume of the LFE? Up until 9.04 it was just selecting Main/PCM and LFE with Ctrl in Sound Preferences and it was solved, but how do I control the LFE volume in 9.10? [00:44] Purpley1: Don't try and fix the filesystem errors before recovering... you could lose things. R-Linux is a very good program though it runs only on Windows. [00:44] Purpley: what kind of filesystem is it? [00:44] ronnie: Since when has it been doing that? Did it work before? [00:44] @BluesKaj-Laptop: will installing it affect my connection when in Gnome? [00:44] NewWorld I just installed linux and promoe for the first time today [00:44] NewWorld, I thought scalpel theres nothing worth saving.....its all corrupt minus a few ebooks and magazines qhich ive already backed up [00:45] ronnie: promoe? [00:45] If I get a PCI NIC will it be able to max out gigabit LAN? or will the PCI buffer slow things down? [00:45] jabba-wok, I think this is something you should fix. I don't know if apt-get is finishing it's work when you install something. [00:45] excuse me, can somebody point me to a help channel where i can get some advice on restoring my grub (after several failed attempts)? [00:45] Purpley1: So you don't wnat to recover? [00:45] Losha, FAT32 and Im on the ubuntu link durrr Im asking for some recommendations for those file types [00:45] NewWorld yes promoe as an xmms2 client [00:45] lucas_: Here if you're trying to get Ubuntu to work [00:45] duncanidaho1, not in my experience , wicd works fine with most ubuntu desktops [00:45] yes i am [00:45] vianocturna85: keeps saying link timed out [00:46] i did a pip install setuptools, and that succeeded. so i dont know why apt-get and aptitude is still complaining about that python package [00:46] NewWorld, I would like to recover my music yes, its about 50 or so gigabytes if that might be a problem [00:46] ronnie: Does it play MP3 files without the frontend? Like does it play in CLI? [00:46] actually its mint, based on ubuntu, that ok too?:) [00:46] NewWorld I am running kubuntu if that makes a difference [00:46] !mint | lucas_ [00:46] lucas_: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) [00:46] Purpley: Yeah use R-Linux... there's another one.. but I forget it's name. [00:46] @BluesKaj-Laptop: ok so i just installed wicd, then I typed in sudo wicd [00:46] NewWorld it will play mp3's in amarok [00:46] NewWorld, I don't have windows on my computer I just wiped it off :/ [00:47] somebody know how i do to auto-connect my ADSL with start my Linux (sorry for sux english) [00:47] okok il'll try mint channel, but its just a GRUB question actually [00:47] lucas_: Or #grub [00:47] Purpley: Search for 'Hiren's BootCD' it has a 'Live Windows XP' boot off that. [00:47] vianocturna85: also, "association request to the driver failed" [00:48] lucas_: Okay I don't mind helping. [00:48] lucas_: *trying to help [00:48] duncanidaho1, alt f2 wicd-client [00:48] NewWorld, I would rather a program for linux [00:48] ronnie: Does XMMS2 play MP3 _from CLI_... without using the Promoe frontend? [00:48] Does anybody know a quick fix or tempoary fix to the "radeon(0): acceleration initilization failed" error? How to turn it off or anything ( using the ati driver in xorg ) [00:48] jabba-wok: sounds like your pip install clobbered your system [00:48] Is there anyone who could explain to me what chainloading is in grub? Also, how can I determine the number I need to chainload +X to get my windows 7 partition? [00:48] NewWorld hold on i will try [00:48] Purpley1: I don't know of any :/ does it not mount? [00:49] if i run "killall gnome-panel" does it resurrect by himself? [00:49] fcn: Yes. [00:49] PingFloyd: what do you mean? shall i get pip to uninstall that package? [00:49] mclark1128 chainloading in grub is loading another bootloader via grub [00:49] It mounts fine NewWorld its just all my music folders have bizzare symbols like hold on ill show you [00:49] well its after installing lousy windows 7 [00:49] Sensiva: Then what does the +1 mean? [00:49] first i tried restoring grub through the program autosupergrubdisk [00:50] which didnt work [00:50] Purpley1: Can you copy over an mp3 to a healthy partition and try playing it? [00:50] Does anybody know a quick fix or tempoary fix to the "radeon(0): acceleration initilization failed" error? How to turn it off or anything ( using the ati driver in xorg ) [00:50] NewWorld no it doesnt play from the cli [00:50] α⌐1c┴áαú.? ┌ [00:50] then i made a supergrubdisk with uunetbootin (because i dont have a working cd drive) [00:50] NewWorld, There are none [00:50] mclark1128, chainloading lists windows or OSs on different partitions on your HDD [00:50] mclark1128, I'm not sure, but I think chainloading is what you do when you are loading something that does it's own boot process. [00:50] mclark1128 I don't know, usually when chainloading Windows OSs bootloader we do it that way [00:50] lucas_: Excellent tut that worked for me everytime GRUB broke: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 [00:50] and it booted fine [00:50] NewWorld, I also can't delete anything or rename anything so I must not have write access either [00:51] even though it is mounted [00:51] Purpley1: I don't know of any recovery tools on Linux :S sorry [00:51] but when i selected my linux partition to restore it gave an error [00:51] Sensiva: Ok, the reason I'm asking is because the chainload +1 is putting me into the dell diagnostic partition [00:51] Purpley: Mount with '-o rw' option to get read/write [00:51] So I'm just trying to figure out how to determine what + will get me to my Win7 partition [00:51] It's been a while but I think parted-magic has some recovery stuff inside [00:51] is there a way I can figure that out from fdisk -l? [00:51] mclark1128 then you are booting the wrong partition [00:51] so i rebooted to try another method in the supergrubdisk menu [00:51] so i booted from usb [00:51] sensiva: Yes :) [00:52] mclark1128 which version of grub? [00:52] ronnie: Did it play MP3 files before pomore was installed? Does it play any other formats apart from MP3? [00:52] .97 [00:52] but this time instead of booitng from that usb, it just threw me to my regular grub [00:52] !enter | lucas_ [00:52] 0.97 that is [00:52] lucas_: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [00:52] does clock applet get weather data from weather.com? if not where does? [00:52] and when i selected my linux there it just gave me 'not found' [00:52] mclark1128 backup your current /boot/grub/menu.lst file then generate a new one using sudo update-grub [00:52] oops sorry, i didnt want to make it too long [00:52] lucas_: Excellent tut that worked for me everytime GRUB broke: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 [00:52] NewWorld I didnt try it before. I installed them at the same time. I will try another type of file [00:53] !offtopic > OttifantSir [00:53] OttifantSir, please see my private message [00:53] I don't want media player to be my only default. How do I get vlc to be my default player in Ubuntu 9.10? [00:53] lucas_, no worries you succeded in distributing your 'long' message amongst the million other messages in this channel making it even harder to read for anyone that might be able to help you [00:53] OttifantSir: Disciplined enough to punish yourself?! :O [00:53] mclark1128: chainload just means passing on the booting process from one bootloader to another [00:53] If I use sudo useradd -d /home/user -m user, what group will 'user' be in, and can I create him so that sudo with that user will not work? [00:53] Guys, are there anyone programs out there that can recover music from a corrupted partition like flac and mp3? [00:53] i figured it out [00:54] ok long story short: if i try to boot from my usb now (cd drive doesnt work), instead of booting up grubdisk, it throws me to my usual GRUB, ben if i select my linux there, it says 'not found' [00:54] i just downloaded the file and right clicked to add it [00:54] what is the command to rebuild device.map [00:54] Purpley1: Type of file shouldn't really matter. [00:54] NewWorld: I have been here earlier, and I know this is for support, not chat. [00:54] sam555 in menu Systems --> Preferences --> Preferred Applications then assign your favourite player in Multimedia tab [00:54] NewWorld it doesnt play avi files [00:55] Purpley, there is a program called testdisk that does a good job of recovery. [00:55] lucas_, so how come you didn't use the usb boot disk creator in the ubuntu live cd ? [00:55] NewWorld, Yes it does [00:55] ronnie: I thought xmms2 was for audio playback only? how about ogg files? Those are supported by default, without extra codec packages. [00:55] lucas_ rename the current grub list of your installation then boot from USB [00:55] mclark1128: only one bootloader can use the mbr, so if you have a situation where you need to use a different bootloader than the one installed in the mbr, that is where chainloading comes in. The bootloader using the mbr passes the boot onto a bootloader installed elsewhere like to on installed in a partition for instance. [00:55] NewWorld All I have is mp3 and a couple avi files [00:55] first of all i cant boot cd's cause my cd drive is broken [00:56] I can't see why I'm not able to activate the propretairy driver in Hardware Drivers? It just says "This driver is activated but nor currently in use" Any tips? [00:56] lucas_, use another computer [00:56] I dont need to recover a partition neccesarily I just want some files off it [00:56] Could someone look over my xorg.0.log for me? I think there is a problem with it trying to do two monitors on one output. [00:56] so you suggest i make a new bootable usb drive with a live cd? [00:56] xmms2 -> audio only, client-sever architecture, fine GUIs: esperanza, lxmusic... [00:56] lucas_, mainly because you'll end up using software thats supported here in this channel [00:56] so now I just need to figure out where "x" is on my (hd0, x) menu entry [00:56] ronnie: I'm not sure :/ maybe you'll have to examine it's configuration file. [00:57] mclark1128: Count the partitions, they start at 0. For example in Gparted. [00:57] mclark1128: In Gpartedd, from left to right. [00:57] mclark1128: sda1 would be (hd0,0) for instance [00:57] thats a point, but if it doesnt let me load my usb drive now (it just throws me to my grub where nothing works anymore), it probably wont let me load the usb drive with something else on it either [00:58] I can't see why I'm not able to activate the propretairy driver in Hardware Drivers? It just says "This driver is activated but nor currently in use" Any tips? [00:58] I thought partitions started with 1 [00:58] gotcha, and I think that sda3 is my win7 partition [00:58] so.. hd0, 2 [00:58] mclark1128: sdc3 would be (hd2,2) and so on [00:58] Could someone look over my xorg.0.log for me? I think there is a problem with it trying to do two monitors on one output. [00:58] mclark1128 don't think, be sure [00:58] NewWorld thats probably over my head one day into linux. I will try to utfse about the config file real quick. u seem to be a busy man [00:58] Sensiva: I'm sure that sda3 is my win7 partition :) [00:58] lucas_: You have to change your boot order... when you start the computer.

I'm frustrated & have no idea what to do next. I'm almost considering upgrading to 9.10 just to see if that will fix it. Is it [01:16] possible to do a refresh of 9.04? Is that something that could fix this issue? I am only getting a faint crackly type of sound when I turn the volume up pretty loud & nothing else. [01:16] NewWorld: no its not [01:16] only metadata [01:16] jdeloach Im not even sure what driver I am using, but supposedly all the 3d drivers work with it, have you tried envy??

[01:41] brjann, When I created the user, I used sudo adduser ryan, and went through the steps. then I looked in /home/ryan, and the only thing in it was desktop_examples. I think the rest of the folders are created on the first login. [01:41] well, RPS I'm not familiar with intelhda cards :( [01:41] jdeloach: In the Xorg... one thing I can't figure out is what the BusID is. Could you find out? [01:42] neezer: but you said you copied in the .ssh directory using sudo cp -r .ssh /home/ryan [01:42] NewWorld: here is my lspci http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/388033/ [01:42] yes. it wouldn't let me create a directory without sudo. [01:43] neezer: right, that's what i'm saying. the .ssh directory you created (using sudo) is now owned by root. ryan can't write anything to it. [01:43] I just deleted the user and added again. so he doesn't have anything in is home folder except for examples.desktop [01:44] brjann, I haven't even logged in as ryan. I want to get ssh access, but he needs a .ssh folder first right? [01:44] neezer: if your sshd_config is set to only allow public key authentication, yes. [01:45] neezer: where is his public key coming from? [01:45] so should I turn it to password just for a one time login with ryan to set up the key? [01:45] neezer, all you gotta do is cp the dir you your dir,,, then do sudo chown -R username:username /home/username [01:45] neezer: that's typically what I do, yes. [01:46] so I can just cp /home/neezer/.ssh /home/ryan? === k[a]tie is now known as katie13 [01:46] neezer: only if you're giving him your private key. which I would not recommend. [01:46] So I'd need to make a new key? [01:47] neezer: yes. ryan needs his own key, and needs some way to get the public key portion of his key added to .ssh/authorized_users [01:47] why is it bad to give him my private key? then he could login as me and have sudo access? [01:47] neezer: yes, giving out your private key means he can log in as you. [01:47] and my private key is on the server in /home/neezer/.ssh? [01:47] neezer, cp /home/neezer/.ssh /home/ryan/. && sudo chown -R ryan:ryan /home/ryan [01:48] someone knows the setup for a keyboard of notebook acer aspire 5516? [01:48] some keys are missing [01:48] Elrox, it won't let me do that because I don't have permission to create a folder there.

[01:50] coz_: thanks.. holding :) [01:50] Elrox, brjann, Thanks for all the help.

[01:51] Izinucs, ah not sure I havent used that for some time now [01:51] Izinucs, but let me check hold on [01:51] Elrox: he's making a new account for a friend of his [01:52] neezer: no problem. here's some reading material for you :) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Keys [01:52] brjann, on his own box?, if so then whats the prob? if not then he wont have perms to do it? [01:52] Izinucs, not sure about that ...cant seem to find anyting regarding check region set [01:53] how can i list the hds in the machine? [01:53] Izinucs, which region do you need? [01:53] brjann, thanks for the link. it is used to be one of my bookmarks until I got my ssh up and running smoothly. now I just need to get his going. [01:54] Elrox: neezer copying his own authorized_keys file into ryan's ssh directory means a) neezer would be allowed to log in as ryan using neezer's private key and b) ryan would still not be able to log in. [01:54] jdeloach: Can you run 'Xorg -scanpci' without X server running? [01:54] coz_: well for various reasons I think that my dvd drive region has been "reset" to something other than the U.S... with libdvdcss2 installed I still can't play dvd's and it won't mount blank dvd's but will cd's.. [01:54] Izinucs, which media player? [01:55] coz_: doesn't matter.. mostly with k3b trying to burn and almost any player you can think of I've thrown at it. [01:56] coz_: so does regionset simply prompt you for the region you want to set? or does it tell you what it's set for now before making a change? [01:56] brjann, you are absolutely right, my apologies, i was only looking at the file cp/perms part of it, ty [01:57] NewWorld: My computer is not recognizing the "-scanpci" flag. [01:57] Izinucs, as I recal it prompts for you to set dvd region [01:57] Elrox: no worries :) [01:57] Izinucs, I believe you have three attempts but I am not sure it actually resets the dvd chip [01:57] hello ,i am concerned about viruses i installed rkhunter and chkrootkit and my system is clean , do i need to install clamav ???? [01:58] dr3mro, it is unlikely you will ge [01:58] dr3mro, get one [01:58] dr3mro, however I do use rkhunter on occasion just to be sure [01:58] jdeloach: Phhewwwww there you go: http://pastebin.com/prBdsxt5 [01:58] coz_: I tried it and without a cd/dvd in the drive it error's out.. I guess it looks at the dvd and determins what the dvd is set for. [01:58] coz_, i install alot of deb files out side rpositories [01:58] dr3mro, most of the viruses and things are geared towards server installations [01:58] Hey guys, is there anyway that i can image one of my disks within a software raid? [01:59] coz_, so clamav not neccessary [01:59] dr3mro, ` so your desktop should be fairly safe [01:59] coz_, i think ubuntu is gaining ground and soon we will see alot of viruses for linux [01:59] dr3mro, not real necessary however if you feel more confortatble with an anti virus applicationi then install clamav along with one of its front end gui's [01:59] coz_, we should be prepared [02:00] NewWorld: Thanks, copying it now! [02:00] coz_, i am new to linux world but prefer CLI [02:00] dr3mro, eventually it will be necessary but most likely not for 5 years or so [02:00] coz_, much customizable and faster [02:00] dr3mro, the advantage of course is that clamav is free [02:00] coz_, i think after 2 to 3 moths only after lucid release :) i hope [02:01] lol OT guys [02:01] Hi all. [02:01] dr3mro, well its more difficutl to create and impliment a virus on linux so I give it longer than that [02:01] coz_, thank you [02:01] dr3mro, no problem [02:02] i have another Q? [02:02] sure [02:02] does any one try to replace metacity with openbox ? [02:03] dr3mro, you can install openbox easily on ubuntu however you will NOT be able to run compiz with openbox if you like compiz [02:03] dr3mro, I prefer fluxbox but openbox is cool too [02:03] I plugged a western digital 1tb harddrive into my usb port. it scans, dmesg sees it , but it doesnt mount it anywhere. its a ntfs partition, ut idont see itin lsusb iether [02:04] dr3mro, compiz only runs on kde gnome lxde and xfce or as a stanalone [02:04] jimi_: have NTFS-Config installed? [02:04] when I do server restart, bind runs but requires a restart before it answers requests; any solutions besides writing a restart script? [02:04] MilitantPotato, checking [02:04] coz_, i tired crunchbang and realy become a openbox fan so easy and so light on resources but i love gnome so i thinking now to try to create a USB thumb with ubuntu minimal and openbox and gtk and some apps so it will work any where i go [02:05] MilitantPotato, i do now :) [02:05] jimi_: running that and enabling the ability to write to external drives helped [02:05] !ot > dr3mro [02:05] dr3mro, please see my private message [02:05] MilitantPotato, you had the same issue? [02:05] jimi_: not sure if it will for you, but it did for me. [02:05] dr3mro, sounds like a good plan... yeah openbox is nice [02:05] dr3mro, however no compiz with that :) [02:05] jimi_: Somewhat, I never checked lsusb though [02:05] jimi_: so I can't say it's the exact same issue [02:05] for a usb , no problem [02:06] MilitantPotato, ok, its installed, just shows the hardware connects/disconnects in dmesg [02:06] jimi_: Do you have the 'ntfs-3g' package installed? [02:06] anyone here familiar with persistent mode? Saving settings for livecd? [02:06] jimi_: did ya run ntfs-config ? [02:06] MilitantPotato, yes [02:06] NewWorld, yes [02:06] jimi_: try it with the drive plugged in? [02:06] jimi_: Can you see it in 'sudo fdisk -l'? [02:07] jimi_: does it show in fdisk -l ? [02:07] How do I change my default runlevel to 3 in 9.10? I don't see inittab anywhere [02:07] MilitantPotato, no, only the 3 partitions for linux [02:07] hi [02:07] can someone give me some advice about a problem I am having with ubuntu.. it keeps closing applications itself [02:08] how can I mount new ext4 to enable access all users without rebooting the machine? [02:08] for example I might have a terminal open.. or FF and suddenly the window will just dissappear [02:08] I have to mount it as root, but then no one can write to the new ext4 :( [02:08] anyone seen anything like that before? I don't wanna have to re-install the operating system cos of something stupid like this [02:09] Kingsy101, have you checked what's in /var/log/messages ? [02:09] nope I will do that now :) [02:10] [ 857.048070] usb 2-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 6 [ 857.180536] usb 2-3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice [02:10] That's the message dmesg shows [02:10] Kingsy101: If you do alt-tab a few times do the apps which seem closed cycle? [02:11] jdeloach: Is it working? [02:11] Kingsy101, you can try to open terminal and then $sudo tail -f /var/log/messages > errorfile.txt :) [02:11] ok hang on [02:12] gescape, to allow all other users to use your new ext4 partition you have to change the permissions on the mount point "sudo chmod ugo+rwx /where/it/gets/mounted" and then everyone will be able to use it. [02:12] Kingsy101, if terminal will close off itself you should have file ready with error :) [02:12] MilitantPotato, It's in lsusb but it doesnt show t as a disk, how can i mount it? [02:12] jimi_: is this the 1tb western digital with DRM? [02:12] gescape - that command is giving me a permission denied [02:12] even with the sudo [02:13] ZykoticK9: gescape I'm not sure that's the best way to go about it. Shouldn't the 'users' mount option be envoked instead? [02:13] ZykoticK9, thx.. I'm so stupid :( I was looking for some options in mount man haha [02:13] i want to reinstall flash -- can anyone tell me if synaptic completely purges flash or if i need to do something else? [02:13] MilitantPotato, it's a 1TB wd yes [02:13] Kingsy101, don't forget about sudo at the beginning [02:13] jimi_: WD started using drives with DRM that block certain media files (great stuff) the firmware likely won't work on linux, I'm guessing. [02:13] Kingsy101, and you will need to type your password first time ;) [02:13] hai all, um i am trying to delete a partition from my hard drive but gparted wont let me because its /dev/sdb5 and it says i need to unmount is so i used Terminal and typed "umount /dev/sdb5" and it said that is was already unmounted [02:13] wadda: did you chekc 'Completely Remove'? [02:13] jimi_: it started with a 1TB WD drive a few months back, that MAY be the issue [02:14] MilitantPotato, is there a fix? [02:14] NewWorld, yep [02:14] NewWorld: Didn't work, sorry. [02:14] gescape - yea I know I am typing sudo then the command and its giving me a permission denied [02:14] NewWorld, I tried users option for mount, but I think it works only if in fstab [02:14] its not even asking for the password [02:14] jimi_: no clue, I never bought one because of it, I'm just guessing that may be the issue, would be worth googling. [02:14] jdeloach: What did it show? [02:14] my ubuntu isnt updating either.. [02:14] Kingsy101, :O [02:14] hai all, um i am trying to delete a partition from my hard drive but gparted wont let me because its /dev/sdb5 and it says i need to unmount is so i used Terminal and typed "umount /dev/sdb5" and it said that is was already unmounted [02:14] man I think my operating system is messing up badly here [02:14] MilitantPotato, can i pass it through to a vm? [02:14] anyway to sync a file over the network? i thought about scp but it may overwrite with an older file.. [02:14] NewWorld: It started freaking out, said there weren't all these screens. I only have four but the config has like 16. [02:15] Kingsy101, I'm on Ubuntu 9.10 and it works for me with no prob [02:15] s/network/internet/ [02:15] yea :S [02:15] jdeloach: Lol the config has 4 screens.... [02:15] jimi_: I really have no idea, It just came to mind that newer WD drives have DRM, I'm not sure if that's even the problem [02:15] oh ok [02:15] I might just re-install my operating system 2morrow [02:15] it just seems like a cop out I hate having to do that [02:15] jdeloach: Brother I've stayed up 3 hrs past my usual bedtime helping in this chan lol, at least I gave you a start. If you catch me another day I will try to help you once more :) [02:16] it would be nice to fix ubuntu for a change [02:16] jimi_: I'd say google into it a bit, see if that could be the case [02:16] Kingsy101, try just $/usr/bin/tail -f /var/log/messages [02:16] NewWorld: thanks though, it has given me a lot of info. === hexdump is now known as Hellhound666 [02:16] Anybody know how to get a card not showing up in "aticonfig --lsa" to show up?

[02:17] some keys are missing [02:17] hai all, um i am trying to delete a partition from my hard drive but gparted wont let me because its /dev/sdb5 and it says i need to unmount is so i used Terminal and typed "umount /dev/sdb5" and it said that is was already unmounted [02:17] ZykoticK9, and what if I would like to allow only specific groups to write to my new ext4? [02:17] gescape - now we are getting somewhere [02:17] look, try just 'mount' [02:17] check it out ---> http://pastie.org/854952 [02:17] Kingsy101, :) [02:18] Out_Cold: no it wants it unmounted [02:18] that paste is what the command returned (my most recent entries in that log file) [02:18] look, just try the command [02:18] gescape, then you'd have to create a group and assign that group ownership with write permission and set "other" to NOT have read/write/execute [02:18] Out_Cold: so i did "umount /dev/sdb5" and it was already unmounted [02:18] Out_Cold: so i mounted it again and unmounted it just to make sure and tryed again [02:19] Out_Cold: And Gparted still wont do it [02:19] I used to be very racially tolerant! [02:19] look, just run 'mount' all by it's self. [02:19] look, you can't unmount a device (/dev/sdb5) you need to umount where it's mounted to -- use "mount" by itself to see where it is mounted [02:19] constant problems it seems [02:19] I even went as far as considering past slavery and oppression in my opinion of the Negro Problem! [02:19] However as I matured I realized [02:19] there are no mounted drives on /dev/sdb5 [02:20] that the fecal-colored beast is like that because of its nature. [02:20] ZykoticK9, you can too unmount it by the dev name IIRC [02:20] That is why I joined Chimpout Forum [02:20] ZykoticK9, do you have maybe any link to some nice ref guide with good examples by any chance so I can practice and see real scenarios?

Shared or www? [02:34] ZykoticK9, Yeah, but that doesn't help me now. lol. Do you know of a way? I've done it on my desktop, but now I'm setting up my girlfriends the same way, and can't remember how I did it. [02:34] Out_Cold, only www and its subdirs if possible [02:35] WetWired, i remember having that "issue", i don't think i ever figured it out... sorry [02:35] Out_Cold, but www is a directory of Shared, which is the actual HD. so im guessing we have to set Shared to be mounted as www-data [02:35] lyrae, ok so sudo chown -r www-data:www-data /media/Shared/sites/www [02:36] lyrae, i don't think you need to own parent directories to have ownership in the subs [02:36] Out_Cold, also, Shared is NTFS [02:36] ooohhh...... might be an issue with the mounting permissions.. [02:36] yes i think so too =( [02:37] give me a sec.. [02:37] Out_Cold, did you see the link i sent?

[02:49] lyrae, may need to sudo mkdir [02:49] I have tryed diff -Nrw orig new > package.diff and then patch -p0 < package.diff and patch -p1 < package.diff, Neather work :( [02:50] Out_Cold, yay :) worked. it's mounted [02:50] Out_Cold, fstab is still the same though === Traveler3 is now known as timholum [02:50] lyrae, ok so sudo nano or gedit /etc/fstab [02:50] damn it, I hate to ask such a newb question, but how do you close a channel? [02:51] lyrae, it won't change till we tell it to [02:51] SwollenEyes: /part [02:51] /close [02:51] Out_Cold, ok. fstab is open [02:51] as sudo? [02:51] yep === icedogg` is now known as icedogg [02:52] Out_Cold: I'm not seeing my Linux drive listed in FStab (the sdb*) just the windows one (sda*) is this normal? [02:52] Out_Cold: gedit should use gksudo and not sudo === rO_ot|AFK is now known as rO_ot [02:53] genii, he told me to use nano [02:53] so on a new line at the bottom, we'll write /dev/sda1 /media/Shared ntfs-3g quiet,defaults,locale=en_US.utf8,umask=000 0 0 [02:53] but i did use gedit with gksudo [02:53] lyrae, i did mention both but i use nano so i forget about gksu sometimes [02:53] How do I install a Ralink Chipset driver? [02:53] !gksu [02:53] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [02:54] lyrae: sudo is for commandline, gksudo is for graphical apps (kdesudo if KDE desktop) [02:54] Out_Cold, ok. line added. do i reboot to test? [02:54] lyrae, yes try it out... if it fails to load or you get into a recovery shell for some reason, go back into /etc/fstab and # the line out [02:55] Out_Cold, ok. but what in this line tells to mount it as www-data? or is it the umask that's gonna allow apache to access it? [02:55] lyrae, haven't gotten that far yet :p [02:55] alright [02:55] brb! [02:55] How do I fix a program that won't open when double clicked in the "Applications" menu? [02:56] darkstar1, what was wrong? [02:56] quick question... will any USB to VGA/HDMI adapter work under Ubuntu at all? is there a standard for these things or are the drivers different for each one? [02:57] already tried Google, nothing useful in the results. [02:57] DocPlatypus, check ubuntu hardware support? [02:57] is there a way to have network manager reconnect my vpn when it disconnects [02:57] !hardware [02:57] For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [02:57] Out_Cold: a sec pls.. I'm getting confusing info with what gpartrd is showing me and what's in fstab [02:58] darkstar1, fstab is only used at boot-up and during mounting... it's not what is actually on your system [02:58] Out_Cold, it works. mounted automatically and apache is accessing it! maaaany thanks! [02:58] lyrae, you can send your check in the mail.. [02:59] what is the best way to access windows files on diff partition from linux? [02:59] Out_Cold: Ok. But in order to make sure a partition is mounted at boot time I need to add the partition info there right? [02:59] darkstar1, gparted reads all disks connected to your machine, regardless if it's in fstab [03:00] darkstar1, yes to automagically mount, there needs to be an entry in fstab [03:00] ertz, mount the partition and go explore [03:00] Out_Cold, just wrote a check for $500. where do i send it to? [03:01] Seymore Buttz CO 123 anytown USA [03:01] haha [03:01] Hello Guys, I'm still working toward resolution on my sound card issue. I ran a lot of commands from the Trouble Shooting site; removing & reinstalling the sound card drivers & others, but nothing would work, so I was advised to visit the HDAintel Sound How to website & I ran the first command that has me completely baffled. It gave me a command to find out exactly what sound card I have. Uhhh I ran the command & got different info [03:01] than I got from the command I used earlier. First time it said I had an HDAintel card, but after running the command it said nothing about the brand & listed this info: Codec: SigmaTel STAC9200 [03:01] Codec: Conexant ID 2bfa [03:01] RPS: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:01] hi there, i need help with a matrox g550 graphic card, basicaly it works, but i have two monitors connected on 1 dvi port, using a splitter cable .. so both screens display the same thing like if it was mirrored ... how can i get both monitor to work independently ? [03:03] I'm hoping someone can take me on for a few minutes... I try to stay focused & keep up! [03:03] freeaks_, not sure if you can use xrandr for that but it would be the command you want to look at to do side by side [03:03] okay, doesn't mention USB display adapters at all [03:03] RPS, i would bud but sound and graphics are not my forte.. [03:04] may need to borrow one of these and just see what it says when plugged into an Ubuntu box [03:04] A program doesn't open when I click on it in the "Applications" menu, what should I do? [03:04] Out_Cold: the # lines are for comments right? [03:04] darkstar1, yes... with the exception of #! all lines that begin with # are ignored [03:05] thomas_, try Alt+F2 then type the name in there [03:05] hola [03:05] i need a gf... you guys are taking away from my *** life [03:05] DocPlatypus: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Adding_USB_SVGA [03:05] Out_Cold, xrandr seems to report only 1 screen [03:05] !es | lucio [03:05] lucio: 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. [03:05] Out_cold, it hangs, and nothing comes up, no errors or anything. [03:06] lucio: hola, si quieres hablar español escribe /join #ubuntu-es [03:06] freeaks_, i would think so... using the splitter i'm not sure you can do that [03:06] thomas_, what program? [03:06] ggzBoard [03:06] thomas_, might be an issue with the program it's self... check into support from the developers [03:07] and again... it's a case of figure out what $%&# chip is inside the thing [03:07] DocPlatypus: So basically the sisusbvga driver, with one of the adapters listed [03:07] out_cold, well it was working before, but i ran something like delete unused packages or something, and the person who told me to do that said it might cause unwanted side-effects [03:08] DocPlatypus: lsusb should give something to start working with [03:08] genii: this is pre-purchase research [03:08] thomas_, well then i recommend you sudo apt-get remove gzzBoard then reinstall [03:08] don't have the thing to plug in yet [03:08] in ubuntu karmic, for the root user, how do i set a profile for ssh login to set env vars? ~/.ssh/environment does not seem to effect [03:08] I'm trying to apt-get update and I'm getting a lot of 404 errors, I've tried 4 different software sources, this sounds like a network problem, except that I can surf the web, etc is there anything I can check? [03:09] DocPlatypus: Aah, OK. [03:09] wolfjb, ping the servers then ping something from web.. [03:09] Out_cold, i've tried that, but oddly enough, it stays in the menu, but the thumbnail is gone, i've even tried synaptic to fix broken packages but that doesn;t work either [03:10] thomas_, try apt-get remove --purge [03:10] thomas_, try apt-get remove --purge gzzBoard [03:10] Out_cold, returns "Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them" [03:11] then use autoremove :p [03:12] Out_Cold, sorry i was afk for a while [03:12] has anyone seen the new theme for Lucid? [03:12] I can ping it, but I'm getting failures on stuff like http://archive.ubuntu.com karmic-security/universe Translation-en_US [03:12] Out_cold, now reinstall? [03:12] but I can surf it with a web browser [03:12] odd [03:12] this won't help much but, at least this work like that on windows [03:12] freeaks_, i don't think you can do off of one connection... i may be wrong but it's my opinion [03:12] i see .. [03:12] well then i'm wrong [03:12] might work [03:12] i've never done with one connection [03:12] thomas_, yes try again [03:13] i wonder if i need to use a special driver or some other tool ? i've just installed ubuntu on this machine [03:13] Does anyone know how minimizing a window will be handled on Lucid with the new Light theme? [03:13] i see other ppl here they all use windows, using the same hardware, so i can see it works for them [03:13] wolfjb, maybe firewall or porrly set up routing/ [03:14] Out_cold, ok, now it's just doing the same thing it was before, hangs, no errors or messages [03:14] Out_Cold, ah, could be, I'm in a hotel - I'll look into it [03:14] thomas_, what is it supposed to do? [03:14] !light [03:14] Out_cold, open up a window with a list of board games to play [03:14] I have no sound on my system how do I fix this [03:15] how do I install my sounddriver? [03:16] try using windows :) [03:16] is it possible to put special characters in the LUKS Ubuntu system encryption password? [03:16] thomas_, i dunno... my guess is that what ever command you ran, broke the gzz dependancies.. not too sure how to fix above what we did [03:16] can anyone please help me, I kinda screwed my PC up installing ubuntu' [03:17] martin__: do you see a little speaker icon on the top-right corner? [03:17] yes [03:17] hello [03:17] darolu yes [03:17] I am taking an OS class in school, so I downloaded ubuntu, installed it on a spare partition, and everything worked fine. the only problem, is that now my windows 7 is dead. Says Hal.dll is corrupte [03:17] darolu:yes [03:17] corrupted* [03:18] Parogar, really? [03:18] Parogar, you might also ask in #Linux and #Windows [03:18] good riddance, just stick with ubuntu [03:18] ejv, =D [03:18] So... that's it? [03:18] it's gone? [03:18] ejv, linux is the best but its hard to play some games on linux [03:18] martin__: right click on it, and go to sound preferences; play with the settings, check that you are using the appropriate channel (digital/analog) and that there is nothing muted [03:18] Parogar, Nah, it's not. So you installed Ubuntu and it boots? [03:18] whats the command to make a directory writabe [03:18] of course its not gone, mount it and get your files [03:19] * ejv facepalms [03:19] chdod +x 775 or something [03:19] darolu: I did that [03:19] chmod* [03:19] brand0n, chmod [03:19] Is there a way to make a video stream say from zoneminder, show up as my screen saver? [03:19] Yes, I can get into ubuntu, but I can no longer get into Windows 7 [03:19] yea but how do i use it Srayhu [03:19] I have a software RAID 1 on my server that i would like to image, is there a way to do that? [03:19] is it possible to put special characters in the LUKS Ubuntu system encryption password? [03:19] mattgyver: man dd [03:19] I tried booting from each hard drive, and I just keep getting the error that hal.dll is gone or corrupted [03:19] brand0n, Well, the short answer is just chmod 777 [03:19] darolu: my "mentor/friend" told me that to get it i need to install the driver [03:19] keeen, try it out... it'll give errors if it cant [03:19] ok [03:19] thank you [03:19] <`mOOse`> funny - windows 7 is MUCH faster on my old laptop than ubuntu yet I don't sit here bitching and whining about it or throwing disparaging remarks to guys who have windows screw up their grub [03:19] !polite [03:19] The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [03:19] <`mOOse`> you guys are unbelievable sometimes [03:19] Parogar: well find oput what hal.dll is in a windows channel [03:20] Hello, I need some help debugging Upstart. I don't have any getty!! [03:20] If I boot fro thhe win7 CD, it doesn't even know that I had a windows 7 installation [03:20] !chill pill | `mOOse` [03:20] from* [03:20] m00se, please watch your language. This is a PG chat. [03:20] I definitely didn't delete the windows 7 partition [03:20] <`mOOse`> ejv take your own advice, eh [03:20] i refuse. [03:20] <`mOOse`> big surprise [03:20] Out_Cold, thanks but I'd rather not waste 5 hours encrypting my entire system to find out [03:20] I think what happened is that grub overwrote something and that won't let me use windows 7 anymore [03:20] srayahu im in the folder in the terminal [03:20] Parogar: either repair your MBR with an fdisk /mbr or... setup grub again [03:20] chdmod 777 doesnt work [03:21] I did both [03:21] that's why I'm asking here [03:21] isnt there like +x or something [03:21] to save a lot of time [03:21] Parogar, unfortunately I don't use Windows. (At all) =( So I don't know what to suggest about a broken .dll (which is a windows file) [03:21] I fixed my mbr several times [03:21] Hi, I am using the Remix, but can't get the "User Switch" button on the lock screen [03:21] I don't think it's merely a broken dll [03:21] brand0n, You're in the directory you're trying to change? [03:21] yea [03:21] keeen, try a small partition... it should give you the error immediately when entering the password i would assume [03:21] Parogar: ok so your OS is corrupted; time to evacuate your files and re-install :) [03:21] Parogar, therein lies the issue - I don't know what I'm talking about concerning Windows. [03:21] I think that the entire mbr has become corrupted, I will probably have to end up formatted, was just hoping not to have to [03:21] I checked .gconf/apps/gnome-screensaver/%gconf.xml and the setting (bool) is TRUE [03:21] i wanna make the directory writable by everyone, or atleast by me [03:21] without sudo [03:22] brand0n, Type this - "cd ." without the quotes. [03:22] I just don't see how installing ubuntu destroyed my entire OS [03:22] Out_Cold, thanks [03:22] Parogar, it most likely did not. [03:22] Parogar: save time from trying to troubleshoot; just mkdir /mnt/fail; mount /dev/sd_() /mnt/fail; and copy ur stuff somewhere [03:22] ok done Srayahu [03:22] what did that do [03:22] brand0n, it takes you up to the parent directory [03:22] alright, grabbing the spare drive. [03:22] Now ls, find the directory's name, and chmod 777 the directory [03:22] Parogar, give me a moment buddy. (Busy) [03:23] Parogar: quite frankly a broken .dll sounds like diagnostics hell... [03:23] I really like ubuntu, but windows is sadly still the only way to play directx games [03:23] any way to force gnome-screensaver to show a user switch button on Remix? [03:23] Parogar, fail - Linux plays many of the games available on Windows. Including DirectX games. [03:23] I would have migrated to ubuntu a long time ago if not for the fact that my favorite games run best or only on windows [03:23] martin__: having that icon dear, usually means the driver is already installed. [03:23] you grow out of games eventually, took me 35 years heh. [03:23] if you wanna argue about linux + games ---> #ubuntu-offtopic [03:23] seanbrystone, fail [03:23] I am aware of that, however I don't get nearly the performance I would get in windows. ' [03:23] ejv, thank you [03:24] Parogar, linux isn't really a gamer's system.... things will change someday though [03:24] Parogar, because you lack the skill to optimize a Linux machine to run said games. I game happily in Linux. [03:24] martin__: if you want to check, open a terminal and type: lspci | grep Audio [03:24] I realize that, which is why I was hopinng to use it for everythign else [03:24] ok srayhhar [03:24] got it workin [03:24] thank you very much [03:24] Srayahu* [03:24] brand0n: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:24] Srayahu, lol yep epic fail [03:24] Out_Cold: do I now need to add a folder to / so that the partition is mounted there? [03:24] Out_cold, do you know how to fix broken dependencies? i reinstalled all of the ones in the list in synaptic, but i'm getting the same issues [03:24] brand0n, for future reference you can't chmod a folder while you're in the folder. [03:24] floodbot, please get off my nuts [03:24] ah ok [03:24] So srayahy you can lplay bad company 2 right now? at the same speed as windows [03:24] that was my problem then [03:24] Parogar: for games better buy a console [03:24] seanbrystone, They'll pry the controller from my cold, dead hands. [03:25] darolu: I found some commands and now it works, thx for your help, i appreciate it [03:25] !offtopic [03:25] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [03:25] darkstar1, i thought you wanted it mounted as / [03:25] Parogar, I don't play Bad Company, but give me a disc and some time and I'll get 'er running. [03:25] That is an unreasonable request [03:25] thomas_, try apt-get --build-dep [03:25] Out_Cold: wouldn't that conflict with my normal / ? [03:25] thomas_, try apt-get --build-dep gzzboard [03:25] Parogar, How so? [03:25] darkstar1, yes.. [03:25] Srayahu and Parogar, srsly, #ubuntu-offtopic [03:25] just take it over there... [03:25] Sorry, I didn't mean to even bring it up [03:26] ejv, SRSLY, we got your message(s) already. Cool off man [03:26] I just want to save my windows installation [03:26] I think that grub doesn't play nicely with windows 7 [03:26] srsly people are dense which requires repetition [03:26] Parogar, understandable - now, if you need help I am more than willing to assist you. I do feel bad that your first Linux experience is turning out to be a bad one. [03:26] The OT police are out in force tonight, shhhh!!!! :) [03:26] Out_cold, still nothing [03:26] Out_Cold: It's a partition that I want to use for Samba only. That's why I wanted it mounted at boot time [03:26] It's not linux' fault [03:26] Parogar: To the contrary, it's Windows 7 that abhors Grub [03:26] seanbrystone, LOL [03:26] Srayahu, in ejv's defence, I am trying to assist others and it's difficult to do so when there is so much idle chatter. [03:26] <3 [03:27] Out_Cold, I am as well. Upgrade your brain's processor. >_> [03:27] I don't blame ubuntu. I just want to find a way to get them both running [03:27] vmware ftw [03:27] Out_Cold: but at the root level [03:27] darkstar1, and you really want it mounted in /? then yes.. make a new dir there.. [03:27] I very much liked the few hours I spent with ubuntu watching movies, browsing ect, It was also much easier to get runnning and configured thanwindows [03:27] Out_Cold: is that a bad idea? [03:28] Parogar, I don't know what to suggest concerning your .dll. However, if you do have to reinstall across the whole machine then make sure you install Windows and then Linux. Windows likes to take over the whole MBR... [03:28] Is there a better place to ask Remix/UNR related questions? [03:28] Or GNOME/screensaver config questions? [03:28] That's how I had it [03:28] LuigiBai: #gnome-desktop ? [03:28] will a gigabit LAN connection saturate the pci bus? or will I be able to get full capability out of gigabit LAN with a pci card. I don't have pci express in my server. [03:28] Parogar, really, #Windows is the best place to ask concerning your .dll. We can't offer support for that here. [03:28] LuigiBai, here would be the 'best' place [03:28] I only had windows 7 installed, and today, I installed ubuntu . Perhaps next time I should install ubuntu FROM within windows [03:28] Since I think that would be a far safer option [03:29] LuigiBai: #gnome sorry ;) [03:29] was thinking #gentoo-desktop hahaha [03:29] oh [03:29] hello people, i need help [03:29] !ask | DKcross [03:29] DKcross: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [03:29] Parogar: Bad bad BAAD idea and I doubt you could do it that way anyways [03:29] Well I just don't want a repeat of what happened tonight. [03:29] Parogar, Wubi installs are... *cries* [03:30] Srayahu, wait [03:30] Sorry, I'm back. [03:30] Hey [03:30] well. my problem is my 3g modem [03:30] mount like usb [03:30] I am back for the first time in 1.5 years [03:30] I have lived those Wubi blues before & say NO THANKS. Laughing Out Loud [03:30] I have getty's being started in several places, is that bad? [03:30] These are the EXACT steps I followed. I burned the ubunti image to a disc, booted from it. Selected a partition, using E something 4 (don't remember) and used / as the root. Installed completetly [03:30] and i eject device but nothing.. [03:30] ubuntu* [03:30] Should I install Ubuntu 64bit or 32bit? [03:30] um... what does your processor support Netwiz ... [03:31] Srayahu, do you have any advice for programs with broken dependencies? [03:31] how can I tell the current run level? I need to verify that it's 2. [03:31] Both [03:31] does anyone know how i can install the pixmap theme engine [03:31] Are all the packages teh same and available for both? [03:31] Parogar, ext4 is the file system you're thinking of. Did you do a manual partition scheme or a guided scheme? [03:31] system-services: /etc/event.d/tty6 [03:31] Is there a way to make a video stream say from zoneminder, show up as my screen saver? [03:31] manual [03:31] could that be why? [03:31] upstart: /etc/init/tty6.conf [03:31] thomas_, Well, it depends on the program [03:31] What should I do? [03:32] Also, how is a 7600 GT for Beryl? [03:32] Parogar, Well, possibly [03:32] Srayahu,, it's GGZBoard, from the Ubuntu Software Center [03:32] Out_Cold: I know I'm bothering you, but is my way a bad idea mounting a partition in root? I'm a Linux born again (Well newbie since I only ever used Unix before this and that was years ago) [03:32] thomas_, One moment... [03:32] Is this a common problem? [03:32] Netwiz, its no longer beryl, its Compiz or Compiz-Fusion something like that [03:33] thomas_, You're on 9.10? [03:33] darkstar1, not a 'bad' idea, just something i'd never do in practice.. [03:33] Srayahu, yes [03:33] I'll try doing it differently next time then [03:33] darkstar1: i'd say no, let's not get in the habit of doing that; i suggest you make a new folder in /media or /mnt and mount your device(s) there... [03:33] thomas_, run sudo apt-get update and make sure you have all the updates. I don't know what to suggest concerning it. I can try installing it and seeing what happens. One moment? [03:34] on a slightly different note, another problem I am having with Ubuntu, is that when I try and compile using g++ programs I have written in windows. I get tons of parsing errors [03:34] Wow. I cannot belive this is the busiest chat room on freenode [03:34] Congratulations [03:34] Netwiz: use 64bit, might as well [03:34] Will do [03:34] Out_Cold: why?? I figure not to have it buried in the usual place will some how help traversing down dir tree [03:34] someone said it has to do with end line characters from windows to ubuntu? [03:35] gone are the days where 64bit support sucked [03:35] Parogar, concerning installing windows/ubuntu. Unless you know what you're doing I'd recommend just doing a guided install. I know what I'm doing and I usually just do a guided install anyway when I do dual installations, etc. [03:35] darkstar1, that's where i'd put them too.. in /media or /mnt... good lessons produce good practice.. [03:35] didn't you used to have an effects room? [03:35] kk thanks will do that this time [03:35] Parogar, you're using gcc? [03:35] Out_Cold: Ok [03:35] yes [03:35] darkstar1, you can really put it where ever you want.. but it's just good practice to do it that way.. === xnt14 is now known as xnt14[sleep] [03:36] gcc Main.cpp List.cpp -o LinkedList [03:36] that's the syntax I am using [03:36] !away > xnt14[sleep] [03:36] xnt14[sleep], please see my private message [03:36] hundreds of erros [03:36] errors* [03:36] darkstar1, like using sudo -i instead or su root or sudo su... [03:36] anyone available to help with an apache issue? [03:36] Ok [03:36] zaikur, we can't help if we don't know the issue [03:37] Parogar: you can fix the line ending problem with dos2unix in the tofrodos package (windows defaults to \r\n at the end of lines, linux uses just a \n) [03:37] and #apache is prolly a better place... lol [03:37] ahh. [03:37] and I just run my files through this? [03:37] errr #httpd [03:37] zaikur ^ [03:37] roger that. I just installed and when i go to edit the file for my website it's telling me that i dont have permission. I tried logging into root but it isn't accepting my password [03:38] i only typed in one password when i installed ubuntu [03:38] and that was for my login, nothing for root [03:38] zaikur, easy solution... [03:38] Parogar: yes [03:38] zaikur, use gksu gedit /path/to/file [03:39] sorry for all the noob questions, I am brand new to linux. [03:39] How do I view a man file (on Mkdir) in gedit?? [03:39] !root > zaikur [03:39] zaikur, please see my private message [03:39] Parogar: Me too.. sort of [03:40] Hey [03:40] darkstar1, right click and click open with other application... [03:40] Sorry bad Internet connection [03:40] darkstar1, what's wrong with man mkdir?? [03:40] how to add % in mysql server in ubuntu 8.04 server? [03:41] thomas_: don't know where the man files are... just know how to terminal them up [03:41] darkstar1, the right syntax is sudo mkdir /media/disk [03:41] if i want to create a game in linux - were do i start? and do i have to make it free? [03:41] sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5.0 [03:41] darkstar1, type gedit, then path/to/file [03:41] what's up??? [03:41] darkstar1, like gedit path/to/file [03:41] Can somebody tell me? [03:41] Dj-Pilot94, you don't have to do anything... except include required licencing... and you would start with a programming app [03:42] thomas_: Like I said I don't know where the man files are [03:42] I'm trying to change my default WM under Karmic, I have created a .gnomerc (which is ignored) and edited the window manager setting via gconf-editor (which is also ignored). I have STFW and no luck, any ideas? === Jbirky is now known as Netwizz [03:42] Jbirky, i mean i want alow remote not only localhost for mysql server. [03:42] Houston, we have a problem! I'm runnin 9.10 (386) w/proprietary nVidia 185 drivers & installed a kernel update this morning, then rebooted as instructed. Machine reboots->username screen ->password sreen then ... the ubuntu logo and progress bar vanish leaving only the login screen background on the screen. No windows to enter any info into, nothing, just the login screen background. I worked with 2 folks here this morning and did [03:42] trism: Your suggestion worked thanks. it compiled into something called a.out? [03:42] darkstar1, there is an online man pages glossary [03:43] Out_Cold: I kinda figured that out I just want to open the Man options in a nicely formatted viewer to see what options it has [03:43] Is it possible to name it LinkedList.exe or .out or whatever linux uses [03:43] mrkim: sounds like the resolution is too low and you are only seeing the top-left corner of the login screen [03:43] mrkim, I've seen similar... Try backing up your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and regenerating it [03:43] Parogar: you can specify the executable name with -o, linux doesn't require a certain extention for executables, just that their permissions are set correctly (+x) [03:43] Parogar, you can name an mp3 on linux somesong.mp3.avi.mp4.exe.cab if you really wanted to.... [03:44] LOL [03:44] cool [03:44] von, no, resolution looks correct, and from prior checks drivers are ok [03:44] Out_cold what kind of programing apps are there? [03:44] Other than C and C++ does ubuntu come with anything for assembler? [03:45] I can't right 16bit assembler apps on windows. There's no way to do it. Was kind of hoping to do it on ubuntu [03:45] von, no terminal jockey here, I need the commands :>( [03:45] Dj-Pilot94, almost any kind you can think of.. search around in synaptic package manager [03:45] How are you Pming me?

[03:47] Interficio, alsamixer [03:48] hello people. about 5 years ago i had a program running on my mac OS X system that allowed me to run many commands via web interface since apache was running on the computer. has anyone heard of anything like this for linux? [03:48] brb.. going to logout to test my changes [03:48] please don't let me be misunderstood!!!!!!!!!!!! [03:48] you install the program on your system etc file and login to the specific port from web remotely [03:48] rastasean: Was it webmin? [03:48] thank you!!!!! [03:48] rastasean: maybe ebox? [03:48] i'm rebooting in two minutes so try to think of is [03:49] warriorforgod, that sounds right!!! [03:49] i will look at ebox [03:49] How do you uninstall Grub? [03:49] Parogar: what do you want instead? [03:49] warriorforgod, that can work on linux as well, right? [03:49] rastasean: yes. [03:49] well I tried reformatting to get windows to work again, and Grub is still there [03:50] out_cold: any chance of like a quick switch icon? [03:50] i'll be back in a 5 or so [03:50] warriorforgod, thanks! [03:50] rastasean: np [03:50] lol, it's been a nightmare since downloading the ubuntu ISO wish I could reverse everything I have done today [03:50] Have a usb? [03:50] Interficio, find out how to add/remove the devices in the command line then make a shell script [03:50] Downlaod unetbooting and put it on there [03:50] Parogar: you need to start windows, and then run its command to fix the mbr. Im not sure what the commands are though... [03:50] lol Parogar part of leaving the Windows nest, is a learning to like pain. :) [03:50] Much easyer [03:51] I tried that [03:51] ChogyDan, fdisk /mbr [03:51] My entire PC is pretty much down completly [03:51] now [03:51] or format /mbr [03:51] problem ubuntu 9.10 with Modem sagem 800 port usb [03:51] been a long time :-) [03:51] What did you do [03:51] Parogar, fixmbr is the command if you're running xp or older, but... go into your bios and disable the virus protection if it has it [03:51] von_neumann: I hard it changed for windows 7 [03:51] whats a good ubuntu distro for an old 600mhz pc [03:51] Here is the full story. For the last year I have been running windows 7 perfectly fine. Today I downloaded Ubuntu, did a manual install on a spare partition. [03:52] Restarted my PC [03:52] with 700mb ram [03:52] might have, seems like simply popping in the recovery CD would be a goof place to start though [03:52] it could be preventing you from writing to your mbr [03:52] got an error that windows was corrupt, restarted again [03:52] err s/goof/good/ [03:52] fixmbr changed at wind vista [03:52] Parogar, It's a lot easier if you type everything on one line [03:52] booted rom teh HDD that ubuntu was in, and ubuntu worked [03:52] ok sorry [03:52] superloooooser: with that ram, any ubuntu distro should run relatively fine [03:52] Parogar: do you have multiple drives? [03:52] Linux is not windows [03:52] So I booted from the hard drive that ubuntu was in. And everything worked fine in ubuntu, but I really needed to get windows 7 back [03:52] Yes I do [03:53] superloooooser: I have a similar computer (P3@650Mhx with 384MB RAM) running Debian 5 amazingly fast [03:53] 600mhz what [03:53] Did you install to the WHOLE disk? [03:53] Parogar: you may need to change which drive the computer is booting from in the bios [03:53] Houston, we have a problem! I'm runnin 9.10 (386) w/proprietary nVidia 185 drivers & installed a kernel update this morning, then rebooted as instructed.

No windows to enter any info into, nothing, just the login screen background. I worked with 2 folks here this morning and did [03:53] So I tried the recovery console, it no longer could find my windows installation. I used bootsect to repair the mbr to no avail. Now i just installed a fresh copy of windows 7 and formatted the ubuntu one. And now windows 7 loadsinto a black screen and grub is still on my PC [03:53] 600mhz intel pentium 3 (as oppossed to an awesome 600mhz omap3 arm) [03:53] ChogyDan: I have tried manually booting from each drive to no avail [03:54] Yea i did that before [03:54] i used nuke and boot and redid everything [03:54] this happened to you? [03:54] I had no data i needed to keep tho [03:54] Yea kinda [03:55] Not with win 7 tho [03:55] Kinda wish I never got involved now [03:55] :P [03:55] Ubuntu just wiped out my entire system lol [03:55] If I could only get rid of Grub [03:55] Parogar, to ubuntu's defence... YOU erased everything.. not ubuntu [03:55] Did you happen to use THe WIBI ( the exe to instal inside windows ) [03:55] no [03:56] Wubi* [03:56] Hi, I'm having a bit of a problem with java. My plugin installer isn't showing up in my browser anymore. [03:56] Parogar, look at Hirem's boot CD [03:56] Also i agree with Old cold [03:56] Parogar: did you want to try Ubuntu, but still keep windows? [03:56] I didn't erase anything Out_Cold [03:56] my important windows 7 is still on the hdd [03:56] what is a great Wireless router with wired gigabit ethernet on it? I'm not really looking for anything fancy.\ [03:56] my motherboard/mbr or whatever just doesn't know it's there [03:56] I didn't change a single thing on it [03:56] Wireless N would be nice.

[04:07] wouldn't that make it stutter more [04:07] your programs open at -9 by default, the lower the number the higher the priority [04:08] oooh [04:08] The default ubuntu install has no xorg.conf, how can I add more resolutions? [04:08] Ritlee, I thought positive numbers were "nice," ie they let for other things to finish first [04:08] I have just made some progess. I was able to put ubuntu at least, back on my PC. but only after removing every single trace of windows. What it seems like is that ubuntu wasn't at fault after all. it seems like Windows didn't like glub, and set off a bomb in everything [04:08] thank you very much dj-pilot and ritlee yes i already try sudo but it starts saying that my user name is not on sudoers file [04:08] Kalidarn, system, preference, keyboard [04:08] Absolute0: have you tried xrandr? [04:08] Ritlee, so the more negative a number was, the higher priority :P [04:08] semitones hehe the - signifies an option [04:08] ChogyDan: I tried the gui tool [04:08] oh! [04:09] haha [04:09] Absolute0: you can use an xorg.conf if you make one [04:09] semitones no [04:09] Billiard: i'd probably mess that up [04:09] Parogar : Now reinstall windows [04:09] The ubuntu disc was able to repair my mbr, and I'm now able to boot into things again, but only after I completley removed everything windows.

My #1 use of my PC is programming and watching movies. since I reformatted my PC, I won't be able to use windows anymore anyway [04:10] this doesn't make any sense, I just installed java and I go to test my java and supposedly it doesn't exist??? [04:10] Microsoft only lets you format 3 times with the one I bought, after that they won't let you use the serial anymore [04:10] cheako: edit /etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf and remove "and net-device-up IFACE=lo" from the "start on" line [04:11] how to edit ifconfig [04:11] parogar : Oh wow i forgot but you could install it and use the tiral at least [04:11] parogar, lol call them to activate they'll reset it [04:11] uh [04:11] And then get a new key [04:11] I'm trying to set up a mail server, and I can recieve mail perfectly, but when I go to send mail I get this error: Mar 4 20:10:01 H4ckM3 postfix/smtpd[32548]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from m0f0e36d0.tmodns.net[208.54.14.15]: 554 5.7.1 : Relay access denied; from= to= proto=ESMTP helo= [04:11] you can install as many times as you want so long as the hardware doesn't change drastically [04:11] Parogar: if you need windows, you can also do a trick that i am doing. I have a PC that is work issued, so I cannot put anything on it but I still wanted Linux for my own use. So I put it on an external usb drive and boot from that when it is not work; leaving the windows C: drive alone. works fine. [04:11] holmser, that's likely greylisting. [04:11] how do you make the keyboard map permanent ie: setxkbmap us [04:12] greylisting? [04:12] yet somehow I'm playing double dragon in java...yet I can't launch java virtual machine. java --version [04:12] I do what port 80 did [04:12] holmser, you didn't enable mail relaying on postfix [04:12] holmser, send it again in about ten to thirty minutes. Google the concept. [04:12] so i'm looking to an alternative to webmin and ebox. does one exist? [04:12] will do [04:12] dunno I'll come back... [04:12] In the long run this is probably for the best. I don't like how fragile windows is. It blows up if you do anything [04:12] OLny if you dont know what your doing... [04:12] we might have a convert yet [04:12] I'm really curious as what you are doing Parogar [04:13] Hellhound666: java -version [04:13] Me too [04:13] I don't profess to be the greatest at anything. But if windows is going to massacre my mbr just because I installed ubuntu [04:13] Then perhaps I am not smart enough to use it [04:13] Lawl [04:13] How old are you? 13? [04:13] 21 [04:13] looking for a gmail checker app of some sort that works with IMAP IDLE and also has filtered notifications... any ideas? [04:13] What is a good software for ubuntu that allows me to encrypt my thumb drives [04:13] your windows 7 serial will work as many times as you want if the hardware doesn't change [04:14] I don't know where you're getting that info from [04:14] scarra3 - Hang on i can help let me just get the name [04:14] I bought an OEM copy from newegg. They don't follow the same rules as regular copies [04:14] Parogar, I'm 53 and I can break ubuntu like a champ ;-) [04:14] yeah they do [04:14] OEM will install 9999999 times if its windows 7 [04:15] ChoggyDan: can't start java virtual machine [04:15] the only reason it wouldn't validate is if the hardware was changed [04:15] or died somehow [04:15] yeah, I think you have some hardware failure somewhere [04:15] could not create java virtual machine. strange I'm playing a java game online right now [04:15] Hellhound666: o well, when I had 2 -'s, it gave me that error, but one -, it was fine. Maybe you could pastebin everything [04:15] I really don't think my hardware is failing. After reinstalling Ubuntu, and deleting all my windows partitions, I'm able to get into ubuntu and run perfectly [04:15] what is the best GUI program/widget/tool for configuring SAMBA? [04:16] !best | darkstar1 [04:16] darkstar1: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots.

It was at that point that everything broke [04:17] ubottu: I'm new to the whole linux thing and samba. I'm also determined to fully make the transition this time that's why I'm asking because I'm not even sure I have a gui for configuring it on my system [04:17] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:18] could i ask for ffmeg help here? and encoders? [04:18] the only reason I did a manual install in the first place, was because it was the only option that allowed me to select the partition that I wanted to put it on.

A few months ago, my computer's sound card started emitting static. I disabled the mike, removed all peripherals, and there was still static. I opened up the case to check the wires, and they appear fine. I have another sound card in my computer, a CA106 Soundblaster, only it doesn't work in ubuntu, even after messing with it in alsamixer. It does work in windows. I went through the huge thread in the fo [04:18] rums pertaining to sound cards, and it didn't work. Can anyone help me either remove the static or get the other sound card to work? Thank you in advance [04:18] Parogar, once you get used to it you'll throw rocks at 7 [04:19] RPS, to reboot from terminal you can use "sudo shutdown -r now" [04:19] Dang it looks like its sound card day [04:19] ChoggyDan: Well i'm installing Netbeans, it has everything so if I still run into problems then I won't know what to do. [04:19] ZykoticK9, well it's a weird place I'm at [04:20] RPS, did you create a pastebin? if so what's the link?

[05:14] I have a very dumb question, but i want to know the answer, [05:14] When I'm using windows vista my laptop gets kinda hot, but when i switch to ubuntu on the same laptop it stays between cool and a little warm. why is this? [05:14] genii: Ok, as for now, I want to copy backup TO original yes? This would restore what it can? Other option is copy original to backup. [05:15] carlllewispope, could be just not as many processes taxing out your cpu [05:15] carlllewispope, you got viruses [05:15] carlllewispope, somebody is sleeping in your bed [05:16] tp43_, that is not appropriate for here === carlllewispope is now known as carlll [05:17] Jon-4: You said earlier yo wanted to try and rescue data off it. For that I'd suggest ddrescue. As for copying orignal to backup or backup to original, etc... I have no context for how you are using that [05:17] genii: Here's context: [05:17] now that asoundconf has been removed, how do I switch soundcards? [05:17] sudo fsck.vfat /dev/sdc1 [05:17] [sudo] password for jon: [05:17] dosfsck 3.0.3, 18 May 2009, FAT32, LFN [05:17] There are differences between boot sector and its backup. [05:17] Differences: (offset:original/backup) [05:17] Jon-4: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:17] 65:01/00 [05:17] * genii sips [05:18] My bad, should have pastbined it. [05:18] is there a way to get internet explorer on ubuntu? [05:19] carlll WHY!!!! [05:19] carlll, yes, check out wine, i'll get you a link [05:19] carlll: yes, use wine [05:19] carlll: Aside from the question of "WHY?" google ie4l [05:19] genii: Should I use ddrescue before fsck.vfat ? [05:19] Jon-4: Yes [05:19] idk i like ie more than any except google's [05:19] carlll, http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks [05:19] carlll ie is horrible [05:20] you can install wine from the repositories [05:21] ie is a resource hog, and atleast inside of windows is a portal for malware [05:21] genii: How do I use this? Just sudo ddresuce /dev/sdc1 /some/backup/location? [05:21] carlll: just to warn you, i show that IE6 is rated only at bronze by the wine appdb [05:21] carlll copy and paste this into a terminal sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chromium-daily && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install chromium-browser [05:22] chromium = google chrome? [05:22] carlll, if you must have ie (for reasons I cannot even fathom) you might want to check out ies4linux at http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page [05:22] ranjan, dont forget to reboot for those to take effect by the way :) [05:22] morning, and happy friday, does anyone know of some clock in software? [05:22] Ritlee, actually "chromium != google chrome" [05:23] lol k thx :P [05:23] Guyz, what are the best ubuntu packages on software center? I have PuTTY already. [05:23] impi_, like for the desktop? [05:23] DcMeese, what are your requirements [05:23] Ritlee, chrome is based off of chromium though [05:23] DcMeese: depends on what you want to do [05:23] I think chrome browser is missing zooming and horizontal scroll [05:23] coz_, uhm, ja or web? [05:23] genii: How do I use this? Just sudo ddresuce /dev/sdc1 /some/backup/location? I don't want to break anything. [05:23] ZykoticK9, love the response, and the extra info thx [05:23] impi_, there are several ways to get a clock on the desktop...one is sudo apt-get install screenlets... the other is sudo apt-get install cairo-clock [05:24] impi_, that nick reminds me of the now gone pay version of ubuntu [05:24] coz_, lol sorry, maybe i explained wrong. clock-in to show my boss when i arrive at the office and when i leave :D [05:24] Im a webdesigner, I create iPhone themes, and I want to create cydia repositories, and also compile deb's [05:24] impi_, oh sorry :) [05:24] impi_, time clock [05:24] coz_, ja in my country south africa an impi is a zulu warrior - lol [05:25] coz_, thank you let me check it out [05:25] impi_, yes and the icon for impi linux was a zulu shield [05:25] I just had a USB drive in my computer, and I deleted a file, went to umount it, it said "would you like to empty trash?" I said yes, and then after 2-3 minutes of it still waiting to be safely removed, I pulled it myself. Now over half my files have garbaged names like 6√┤@Bƒσ.╘┴3 Any way to recover my data? [I have ddresuce but I don't want to use it improperly, anyone help?] [05:26] Jon-4: umount the drive now to preserve data [05:26] jon-4 haven't you been listening to what people have been telling you? [05:26] ranjan, i am liking this one theme radiance :) [05:27] Ritlee: He just told me to "run ddresuce" and didn't tell me how to use it. Thanks for being a jerk [05:27] superfirelord42: Done [05:27] does ANYONE have experience with ebox? [05:28] Jon-4: use ddrescue to make sure to get a good image of the USB drive. [05:28] archlich & superfirelord42: Im a webdesigner, I create iPhone themes, and I want to create cydia repositories, and also compile deb's... I am also interested in customizing the boot menu... [05:28] ! anyone | rastasean [05:28] rastasean: 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? [05:28] DcMeese, mind if i pm you? i have a hust list [05:28] superfirelord42: so remount, and then do sudo ddresuce /dev/sdc1 /some/backup/location ? [05:28] huge* list [05:28] Is there a way to list IDE devices like you can with pci or usb devices? [05:28] I am looking assistance with ebox and installing it on ubuntu. [05:28] archlich: Go ahead [05:28] Jon-4: you should not need to remount the drive === david is now known as Guest82879 [05:28] <{CR}ronos> hi my video card has fried so i am now using my onboard graphics, but i do not have the correct drivers installed. how can i do this? [05:29] superfirelord42: ok [05:29] HUST LIST!!?!! [05:29] Jon-4, http://www.forensicswiki.org/wiki/Ddrescue [05:29] {CR}ronos, attempt to scan hardware [05:30] hello very one [05:30] ok i know i just asked about ie but i also want THE FASTEST browser. (any suggestions?) [05:30] DcMeese: from what I read, cydia tutorials for debian are valid in ubuntu. i dont know about iphone themes, i tend to only do function grub modifications, so i dont know anything special for that, but I found a list of software for web devel for ubuntu http://tips.webdesign10.com/using-linux-for-web-design-and-development-ubuntu [05:30] what's the command for this cronos? [05:30] {CR}ronos: What is your card model as reported by the output of lspci|grep VGA? [05:30] oh lol [05:31] I'm an idiot [05:31] carlll, chromium.... [05:31] logout [05:31] carlll, if you want one that already to go [05:31] Jon-4: once you use the drive to get an image of the drive, you can try to run photorec to recover individual files from both the drive and the image. Is this a flash disk or a usb hard disk? [05:31] I need help I have changed to a session called Matchbox and now it is unresponsive and I can't log out and change the session. I can Log out but it don't give me the option to change sessions anymore it just goes back to Matchbox [05:32] carlll: IMHO that is chrome/chromium [05:32] carlll, prism =p [05:32] Hellhound666, you can do a fdisk -l to show all disk drives/partitions [05:32] I'm looking for an old DVD drive connected via IDE [05:33] I have tried gdmflexiserver but that won't work [05:33] archlich: I need to scan for CD drives [05:34] superfirelord42: This is just a 4GB USB thumb stick, so I would assume it's flash. [05:34] dyess002: Sounds like its bypassing your DM [05:34] Hellhound666, lshal might suite your needs [05:34] Hellhound666: did the BIOS show that the drive is connected during post? [05:34] carlll, the problem with chormium is it doesnt have the plugins that I use on firefox [05:34] dyess002: How did you enable the matchbox session? [05:34] coz_: yeah like FIREBUG [05:34] Jon-4: okay [05:34] superfirelord42: Almost done first pass through [just a --no-split] with 0 errors [05:35] I loged out and changed it from there [05:35] mdel, havent tried that one ..googling now :) [05:35] coz_: only useful if your a webdev [05:35] superfirelord: yes it sure did it's weird. [05:35] Ubuntu Support Internet Explorer> [05:35] superfirelord42: Finished with 0 errors. [05:35] Guys is there any other place to check volume controls. Mine seems a little bit lower than before. I opened alsamixer in the terminal and cranked it up to 100 [05:35] Hey, I just had an idea but I don't know if anyone has done it before. I installed the ubuntu netbook remix UI on a base install of ubuntu for a HDTV setup and it works awesome [05:35] Jon-4: you used it to create an image file? [05:35] Can anyone tell me how to install my drivers for a Gforce 6600? where can I find the drivers for kharma koala? [05:36] mdel, oo I play and tinker so maybe I can try this one :) [05:36] superfirelord: It has to be some sort of hardware failure. maybe there is a bent pin in there, or the drive is just failing. It's really old. [05:36] The big clickable buttons work great [05:36] coz_: its awesome.. simply the best [05:36] Hellhound666: thats really strange there, normally from my expirence if it shows in POST, linux finds it [05:36] superfirelord42: I ran "sudo ddrescue --no-split /dev/sdc1 usbback1 usblog1" which as far as I know takes the USB drive, does not split sectors, and makes a full backup to usbback1 and a log usblog1 [05:36] lolz Youg is root on his box [05:36] Hello. Is there a (simple) means to do mesh (wifi) networking in ubuntu? [05:37] superfirelord42: It finished with 0 errors. [05:37] Jon-4: Apologies, had a system lockup and required reboot. Syntax is like: ddrescue /dev/sdX# /some/other/place/not/on/sdX#/backupname.img === EntityReborn is now known as FatherPrime [05:37] genii: Does it work without *.img? [05:37] genii: I just ran "sudo ddrescue --no-split /dev/sdc1 usbback1 usblog1" and it finished with 0 errors. [05:37] superfirelord: I'm looking for a program that will scan my system hardware right now. maybe a diag program would help too. [05:37] Jon-4: Yes, .img is optional just makes it easier to know what type of file it is [05:37] Hellhound666: not sure on that and im trying to log off, genii you got Jon-4? [05:38] Can anyone tell me how to install my drivers for a Gforce 6600? [05:38] superfirelord42: For a little while at least [05:38] genii: Does 0 errors mean that it did not recover anything? [05:38] soreau: I had a login screen before that but not anymore it goes straight to Matchbox [05:38] genii I was going to have him run photorec to try to recover files on the USB [05:38] {CR}ronos: Whats wrong with your drivers exactly? [05:38] i want to use internet explorer on ubuntu... how to install??? [05:39] Jon-4: No, it means that it took a bit-by-bit copy of the hard drive or partition and copied that to a file without experiencing a problem [05:39] dont know where to get drivers that are compatible [05:39] srinni install inside wine [05:39] superfirelord: alright I'll let ya go thanks for the help anyway. [05:39] genii: Alright. What is the next step? [05:39] srini: why would you do that [05:39] omg, why people luv ie so much? [05:39] srini: I wouldn't recommend that at all - you're better off running Internet Explorer inside of a Windows virtual machine [05:39] dyess002: Try getting to a tty with Ctrl+Alt+F1, then kill X and do /etc/init.d/gdm start [05:39] http://www.flickr.com/photos/xiambax/4407479317/ <--- netbook remix UI running on HDTV [05:39] tp43 ihate IE [05:39] pretty sweet eh?

They're really great :) [05:40] i want "object dock" but idk if it comes FOR linux [05:40] Jon-4: You then loop-mount the file that was made and try to copy whatever might be useful from it [05:41] FireCrotch:: Wine support ie? [05:41] why leave windows if you can't leave IE? [05:41] srini: Why IN THE WORLD would you want IE on linux? For webpage testing? [05:41] genii: Assume I am a complete noob. I don't know how to do that. [05:41] {CR}ronos: Pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file to pastebin.com and quit pmming me please [05:41] whoa whoa whoa somebody wants IE on linux...wow [05:41] srini: Pretty much. The link that I posted makes it pretty easy to set up - it does all of the special wine configuration for you [05:41] trying to run IE in wine? [05:41] Haha IE on linux [05:41] lol [05:41] i thought Lucid wasn't coming out until april [05:42] lol second person tonight is getting even more of a response [05:42] genii: The drive mounts fine, and the files that ARE there are fine, the issue is there are blocks of files with very odd files names that are completly unusable, I am assuming this is fragmented data from a bad removal. [05:42] its not [05:42] It can be done, install wine-tricks [05:42] !loopmount [05:42] Hm [05:42] !iso [05:42] To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.

[05:44] I like AWN [05:44] carlll, meet me in #cairo-dock channel [05:44] ok [05:44] genii: These are the same garbaged files as before. The others [that were still okay] have already been backed up. [05:44] contstat problems with this java crap!!! [05:44] I think cairo-docks is more functional [05:44] genii: Is there anything else I can do to try and restore those files? [05:45] johnny then how would you put ona presentation withouht openoffice presenter? will google docs full screen a second monitor? [05:45] I just installed jdk, now I'm trying to install netbeans and at the bottom it says "No compatible JDK found" [05:45] how about Laptop mode some body [05:45] Ritlee: Fair point, not sure on that [05:46] johnnyCbad, hehe ;) just playin devils advocate [05:46] Ritlee: Although ubuntu has two virtual desktops default, it's totally possible [05:46] no sound on youtube :( anyone ?

I don't mean to bother you but these files are important. [05:48] Hey, does anyone know of any well written guides to fixing internet connection problems (i'm on ubuntu server 10.04.a.3 btw)? [05:48] carlll: or through the command line but you have to add the repository first I think. [05:48] rpk: #ubuntu+1 for Lucid support, thanks. [05:48] claws: Did you check your ALSA settings? [05:49] Flannel: I'm pretty sure its not a lucid specific issue? still go there anyways/ [05:49] ? [05:49] guest1: doesnt say me anything [05:49] claws: What do you mean? [05:49] rpk: Yep, alphas mean things breaking randomly is normal, so it could very well be that.

[05:59] Logikos: You can do it that way, or you can use the tool in windows [05:59] wow, it's straight [05:59] the tool in windows doesnt allow me to shrink the partition enough [05:59] {CR}ronos: Look for packages with ii next to them in the output of dpkg -l|grep -i nvidia [05:59] straight?

Maybe someone else can help a little more [06:01] thales: there is an alpha though [06:01] thales: gimmie a sec [06:01] Jon-4: Apologies, helping my roomate get his webcam going under Kubuntu. The idea of using ddrescue is to make a frozen image of the disk, errors and all, into a file which you can mount into a directory, then pluck the important things which remain from there to somewhere you want to save them. So to loop-mount you use the same idea as loopmounting an iso file [06:01] thales: I'll find a url [06:02] Alpha works for me, [06:02] Out of curiosity, anyone here using their iphone in linux? [06:02] genii: This is done. Is there a way to recover the fragmented files now? [06:02] Jon-4: eg: sudo mount -t vfat /ddrescueimagefile /some/directory [06:02] today, if you dont [06:02] today if you don't have samba installed yet ummm let me figure that one out... [06:02] so useing Gparted isnt a good solution [06:02] <{CR}ronos> soreau will i uninstall these?

[06:03] Jon-4: If it works you can then use it on the original [06:03] awesome, thank you very much. :-) [06:03] but i cant share my data for my friend ( use XP) [06:03] Netwizz: Now try to install Gentoo :) [06:03] today, okay then it should be ready to go, no config needed [06:03] genii: What options should I be looking for? [06:03] I bet that is a lot more work [06:03] ZykoticK9: cheers [06:03] You have no idea [06:03] i dont thing so Ritlee [06:04] I have not even figured out getting everything working on Ubuntu again. It has been almost 2 years since I last ran it, so it will take some time to get it working perfect, but I think it should be easier this time. [06:04] because, i try to share folder, but not done [06:04] genii: Oh, and the data is far more important frankly. I can always reformat the drive. [06:04] today, i could be wrong but i don't remember doing a config for it, it worked as is [06:04] {CR}ronos: You need to remove the nvidia glx driver packages. It should be ok to leave the alias packages installed [06:04] Jon-4: Generally if you use "-f" on fsck it tries to auto-fix erors [06:04] it so ok Ritlee :) [06:04] Netwizz: It is. I am in the same boat. I went back to Linux after a 4 year absence but I only use Windows to print and for iTunes [06:04] Ritlee: did you get a chance to suss out my error? [06:05] what version linux you use Ritlee? [06:05] Jon-4: When it finds unlinked files, etc it will usually put them in a dir called lost+found [06:05] SirVirtue, piss what was it again? [06:05] today, ubuntu 8.04 [06:05] genii: Says "is a directory" when I attempt to run it on /media/temp [where I mounted the image file with loop-back] [06:05] hello [06:05] is the server down for karmic debs ? [06:05] Ritlee: http://pastebin.com/hg94PMDA [06:05] {CR}ronos: After this, you need to remove or rename your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file [06:06] Jon-4: OK, hangon [06:06] Ritlee: do you want a pm so it's easier to keep track? [06:06] Ritlee: (you seem to be getting hounded :P) [06:06] how about 's Login Screen on Karmic Ritlee? [06:06] SirVirtue, i [06:07] SirVirtue, i'm good so your trying to install rhythm box? [06:07] how is login screen change? Ritlee [06:07] Ritlee: well not really, it just pops up every time I try to do something with apt [06:07] also totem [06:07] today, dunno i've only spent any surmountable time with 8.04 [06:07] SirVirtue, OH [06:08] ;-)you wait 10.4 release Ritlee [06:08] SirVirtue, that's beyond me then sounds like apt is bugged [06:08] Yeah it is going to be tough to relearn linux [06:08] :( [06:08] today, lol hopefully better lookin than 9.'04 [06:09] Jon-4: the fsck.vfat manpage doesn't have some force or override option for loopmount, unfortunately.It wants to work only on partitions, etc. So try to recover from the mounted image what you can, then run the fsck.vfat with -y option on the affected drive and check the lost+found directory there after for recovered files [06:09] ahwell i [06:09] ahwell i'm out, thanx all [06:09] what do I do if I think someone is going to try and hack me? [06:09] Ritlee: oh well, thanks for you time [06:09] like..... [06:09] now [06:09] Bye Ritlee [06:09] Netwizz: Its not that bad with Ubuntu. I have had a hard time with some things, but this chat and all the forums are amazing! [06:09] *your [06:09] hello [06:10] genii: Unfortunately because I had created the backup, I have done a few things to my original USB drive. Is there a way to restore it or emulate a mount as a physical device for fsck.vfat? [06:10] Yeah === hackoo1 is now known as hackoo [06:10] I used to run Ubuntu exclusively in 2006, 7, and part of 8 [06:10] Jon-4: No method that I know of [06:10] I ran Dapper Drake through 8.04 [06:10] Or actually 7.10 [06:11] Netwizz: Why did you leave? [06:11] Jon-4: You can use the ddrescue image however to write it exactly back to a usb stick using dd [06:11] anyone else here an ap [06:11] anyone else here an apt-get wizz? [06:11] The Video driver broke for Nvidia GLX [06:11] guest1: same reason we all do further customization [06:12] Jon-4: eg: sudo dd if=/the/ddrescue-imagename of=/dev/sdX# [06:12] Each time I rebooted, I had to re-install the video driver, and it stunk? [06:12] Jon-4: Then run fsck.vfat on that [06:12] what do I do if I think someone is going to try and hack me????? [06:12] shazbotmcnasty: Unplug the ethernet cable [06:12] Netwizz: Tell me about it. I HATE proprietary drivers. I have ATI and I swear I will never support them again [06:13] Netwizz: How is the driver issue now? [06:13] Netwizz: sounds more like ubuntu bug than nvidia bug, though. The driver worked but it screwed up something. [06:13] my Ubuntu run Gnome 2.28, how do we upgrade Gnome man === sacho_ is now known as Sacho [06:13] I have no driver issue [06:13] I did a clean install of 9.04 64 bit [06:13] I was running 7.10 32 bit [06:14] No problems yet anyway [06:14] im having troubling enabling my wifi usb adapter (050d:935b) any help? [06:14] Do you use the open source driver? [06:14] The problem is that it will probably take forever to get everythign up and runnign again [06:14] genii of=sdx# realy? never seen sdx before only sdc and sda [06:14] @bowserinmario3 you need the ndiswrapper unless that changed in the last couple years [06:14] Jon-4: x means "fill in what suits for you" [06:15] on the ndiswrapper website they don't mention support for my usb [06:15] Jon-4: "sdX#" means substitute for "X" the letter of your real drive and for "#" put the partition number: eg: sda3 or so [06:15] You really just have to try it [06:15] I was able to make it work with my old Netgear WG111 or something like that [06:16] yea ill give it a shot [06:16] thanks [06:16] Jon-4: But use some USB stick name and not sda3 as i just wrote [06:16] There must be some switches [06:16] I think you did something like ndiswrapper -i /path/to/driver.inf [06:16] regardless man ndiswrapper [06:17] or ndiswrapper -? [06:17] Jon-4: I must leave for sleep soon, it's 1:17AM here [06:17] genii: OH NO I USED SDA3 *computer dies* haha, don't worry :D [06:17] genii: What would you recommend after fsck.vfat? -y on drive? Any options left? [06:18] ignore ?, typo [06:18] one last try, anyone here an apt-get wizz? [06:19] Jon-4: Check in the directory on the drive called lost+found. If any unattached files were found it will file them in there. No names though just sequential numbered files so tedious to wade through [06:19] I have never seen anything in there [06:19] what does NTFS have for Lost and Found? [06:19] Jon-4: (but at least hopefully somewhat intact) [06:19] Where do those files go? chkdsk? [06:19] Netwizz: this isn't a Windows support channel [06:20] My karmic have a serious problem, my keyboard freezes sometimes and I need to restart system , this time its freezed and not unfreezing even after reboot. what to do now ? [06:20] devD: And how on earth do you type? :/ This sounds like a problem of IBus if you're using it [06:20] i have trouble some thing like devD [06:21] i dont use ctri - keyboard [06:21] so Karmic never wakes up when idle and i move the mouse [06:21] how can i fix that? [06:21] when i run VLC and turn on Playlis ( Ctrl + L) it not work [06:21] help me now [06:21] SirVirtue: What is your apt-get question/problem?

[06:23] <{CR}ronos> i get slow transfer speeds on all formats [06:23] Why does ubuntu 9.10 never wake up after monitor is set to black? and how can i fix this? [06:24] DcMesse: killall processname to just kill. You can install "htop" to view all processes. [06:24] evan0116: Seems like something with motherboard or it's drivers [06:24] theadmin: Thx.... [06:25] hey guys i'm trying to update my nice on my file server over the network. i've compiled a new driver, but it keeps loading the old one. any ideas on how to get rid of the old driver and replace it with the new one?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [06:40] sudo dpkg -r google-chrome-beta [06:40] for me anyway [06:40] doh, sorry [06:40] Archy1987: now that I am reading through the link, there's a suggestion for karmic, a PPA with package called pulseaudio-equalizer [06:41] than, it seems like PID(number) ... process pipe name [06:41] Bash23: sudo apt-get install --reinstall gdm [06:41] dyess002: Cool. Glad you got it working [06:41] me to it was looking like a reinstall [06:41] I tried sudo aptitude reinstall gdm [06:42] it didn't work. [06:42] Archy1987: it looks pretty nify from description. Hopefully it does the trick for you. [06:42] if you followed this steps, now you can kill pid numbers. more informations, try man kill [06:42] theadmin: thank you :) it worked [06:42] Cedna: Wouldn't it be a lot simplier to stick to killall when you don't know the exact PID? [06:42] ... [06:42] hmm.. [06:42] Hello , does someone here specialize in hardware ? I'm going today to buy a new computer, but there is little problem, I'm not hardware wizard :) I have the ability to choose between two types of motherboards : Intel Skyberg DP45SG and Asus p5q pro , can someone recommend me which one is the best ? and which motherboard will support Ubuntu without problems [06:43] but is there possible to list all running apps [06:43] anyone know if 9.10 live cd supports gparted and formatting partitions as hfs+ out of the box? [06:43] yes. killall commands pretty simple. [06:43] yes [06:43] You can use the top command [06:43] or ps [06:43] but i think that was too simple for me.. [06:43] or install htop [06:43] much nicer ^^ [06:43] htop? [06:43] Does anyone have any other tips? [06:43] so i do a.. ps list ? [06:44] The command is ps [06:44] netmind, yeah sudo apt-get install htop and the command is htop [06:44] Great, but what is it [06:44] Bash23: What were you using to try and customize your GDM? [06:44] I will just look it up hell [06:44] Netwizz: A process manager [06:44] Nothin.g [06:44] otherwise, you can also try like that - ps -ef | grep name | awk '{print $1}' | xargs kill -9 :) [06:44] There is no custon.conf. [06:44] systemn monitor of sorts I guess you can call it [06:44] It does not look very good [06:44] That's the prob [06:44] Isn't the built in one better? [06:44] custom* [06:45] Netwizz, system monitor of sorts with many options [06:45] Hm [06:45] I dunno.... I assigned "xterm htop" to Ctrl+Shift+Esc lol and it works fine, system monitor is a bit too greedy [06:46] yes. system monitor too greedy [06:48] Hrm. [06:48] Netwizz, did you check out htop? [06:48] Why when i want to check updates manually i need a password while when it's automatic, it's asking nothing? [06:49] theadmin, it should unless you recently used the terminal with a password and it didnt time out [06:49] yeah [06:49] I checked it out [06:49] coz_: I see, yeah, that was true [06:49] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sioabbA4Mw&feature=channel [06:49] That video rocks [06:49] In traffic court, you have to pay the plantiff to show up!!! [06:49] ... [06:50] what's the ubuntu equivalent of the unstable/testing branch in debian that I can put in my sources.list? [06:50] because... that was configured in polkit settings, i think. [06:50] momosan: there is none [06:50] .. [06:50] momosan, well actually none unless you want to try the alpha [06:50] how can i get more info on the PID's? [06:51] kk [06:51] with switches [06:51] momosan, but then it would be an install of that alpha [06:51] ubottu: ot | Netwizz [06:51] Netwizz: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [06:51] momosan, which means what you have would either be upgraded or you would have to clean install the alpha ubuntu lucid 10.4 [06:51] momosan: We have free-supported: main, non-free-supported: restricted, free-unsupported: universe, non-free-unsupported: multiverse. And we have backports. [06:51] momosan, I think it is still in alpha let me check [06:52] momosan, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule [06:52] okay thanks all [06:53] alankila, i did Appendix D: System-Wide Equalizer [06:53] alankila, how to open equalizer graph now? [06:53] Archy1987: what did you do? Are you using karmic? Did you notice the ppa? [06:54] hi. I have hardy 8.04 version newly installed . When I do apt-get update or upgrade gets segmentation fault error ... So, I have deleted the bin files from /var/cache/apt but still it doesn't work any ideas ? [06:54] alankila, i use ubuntu (latest) [06:54] Archy1987: well, did you use the solution suggested at "Warning 1: karmic users please do this instead". My fault for not noticing it, but it was the first line and I merely scanned the document based on quick google query to see that someone had indeed done something like this [06:55] wow vuze works just fine when I download it from the repositories. seems java runtime isn't the only dependency requried for it to operate correctly. === Podfish is now known as opop [06:55] Archy1987: the ppa contains a full GUI for a global equalizer, allegedly. [06:55] Hellhound666, isnt that using alot of cpu for you? [06:55] alankila, what is "ppa" ? [06:55] coz_: isn't what? [06:56] Archy1987: personal package archive. [06:56] Hellhound666, vuze [06:56] coz_: not really [06:56] alankila, i am not shure that i understand what to do now [06:56] Hellhound666, even when it was called azureus it use mucho cpu on my systems [06:56] Archy1987: I tried to tell you to use the karmic-specific solution some 15 minutes ago, but it was too late. [06:57] Archy1987: revert your changes, follow the karmic-specific instructions. You'll be a lot happier with that -- assuming it works at all... [06:57] coz_: It works fine on my old 800mhz 300mb ram crap computer. [06:58] Hellhound666, wow mmm I might try it again although I am using transmission for torrents [06:58] Why are some "cups" always upgrading? [06:58] alankila, i just realized, that my laptop don't have sound at all now :D [06:58] Archy1987, in terminal alsamixer [06:58] If I wanted to 'apt-move sync' all my packages to put on a cd, would it be that simple as it was on deb?

[06:58] theadmin: security patches [06:59] Archy1987, pulseaudio sucks on karmic right now [06:59] blakkheim: What IS "cups" anyway [06:59] check out netbeans if you're into programming too. It's excellent I think. [06:59] theadmin: common unix printing services [06:59] Hellhound666: I agree on that [06:59] blakkheim: ...I don't need that... lol [06:59] apt-cache show cups [06:59] coz_, nope, nothing is muted [06:59] theadmin: then why do you have it? [06:59] Archy1987: yes, you are best off canceling all the modifications & using the karmic-specific solution. Or debugging what went wrong with your changes. [06:59] Archy1987, mmm [06:59] theadmin: i use a minimal iso install and only install what i want. the default install is very bloated [06:59] blakkheim: Maybe it came defaultly. I don't need empathy either, but i knew i don't need it at least [06:59] I was using Dev C++ on windows 7. Turns out the only way to get Bloodshed Dev C++ on Linux is ordering the cd. Well I'm know there are other ways but it's the least I could do is buy it. [07:00] blakkheim, mm I might try that next time sounds like a good idea [07:00] I'm pretty optimistic that even that .asoundrc-based hack can be made to work if you try hard enough, despite it using plughw and not raw hardware access ... [07:00] coz_, alankila i will now revert changes and infor you what happens then [07:00] blakkheim: Meh, default is a good enough for me [07:00] theadmin: ok, if you can deal with all the bloat and unneeded services and updates that you don't even know what they are [07:01] Archy1987: here's a sneak peek at what you should get with the package: [07:01] http://www.webupd8.org/2009/11/system-wide-pulseaudio-equalizer-for.htmlhttp://www.webupd8.org/2009/11/system-wide-pulseaudio-equalizer-for.html [07:01] blakkheim: If UBUNTU is bloated... lol, better don't even touch Linux Mint [07:02] er... was that link really truncated? [07:02] alankila: No [07:02] good [07:02] what is the kde metapackage to install it via apt-get? [07:02] oneinch: kubuntu-desktop [07:03] hello i'm having issues, i can't edit my task bar or menu bar, here is a pic http://i47.tinypic.com/acsw93.jpg it seems i can't do it..i dunno why, my theme said i should be able to [07:03] thank you [07:03] hi [07:04] hello i'm having issues, i can't edit my task bar or menu bar, here is a pic http://i47.tinypic.com/acsw93.jpg it seems i can't do it..i dunno why, my theme said i should be able to. i just want to edit the main task bar, i.e. change it's colours and symbols. [07:05] hello [07:05] i can´t find wireless network in range even if hardware is properly detected [07:05] i reverted changes, and relogged - at last i have my sound back. I now will try to install that equalizer, that alankila gave me :P [07:05] theadmin: I haven't been programming for long but I'm catching on rather quickly. I'm going to school for Network Admin but I wonder If I could take a coding course too? [07:06] how to check the people in the channel join howmany channel. [07:06] hello friends [07:06] mihir: what type of wireless controller do you have? [07:06] Whols ? [07:06] Archy1987: yeah. I really wasn't aware that there had been any progress on this front. I've been expecting DSP software to arrive for pulseaudio, like headphone virtualization and stuff like that, and nobody seems to have been working on it [07:06] Hellhound666: Don't give any such things :D Sorry... I gotta learn PHP someday :/ static webpages are a bleh [07:06] i can't seem to CD into C:\ in winconsole cmd [07:07] broadcom [07:07] theadmin: that sucks huh. I went to school years back for programming and all they had was microsoft Visual Basic!! [07:07] alankila, i followed that website's instructions, but terminal says me - [07:07] Moat, can try killall gnome-settings-daemon ; gnome-settings-daemon ?

[07:07] Archy1987: well, did you install some .deb first? [07:07] im using ubuntu theadmin [07:07] on terminal [07:08] done [07:08] type same things :) [07:08] alankila, no, i haven't [07:08] tallyho: Ubuntu doesn't have C:\.

More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [07:13] mihir: then, ubuntu should automatically detect wireless networks. check ur panel, there should be a network icon. [07:13] Archy1987: great! [07:13] !networkmanager | mihir [07:13] mihir: networkmanager is an application to make (wireless) networking Just Work. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager [07:14] hi i have a problem in ubuntu 9.10 with the file system, for some reason when it tries to load it says /dev/desk/ by-uuid/ ... is missing and does not exist. which is impossible b/c last night my ubuntu was working pefectly fine till i turned it off [07:14] does anyone know how to fix this problem [07:14] mihir: if u don't find it, open a terminal and type networkmanager. i think it should open networkmanager. [07:15] if linux could run same apps as windows can, i would never use windows OS [07:16] someone thinks like me ? [07:16] i am using ubuntu 9.10 [07:16] Archy1987, there's a fair amount of differences between the two, for most parts wine should work, but then there's crossover/cedega as well as vm [07:17] mihir, did you read the link on network manager? [07:17] <_KAMI_1> hi [07:17] <_KAMI_1> I need some help [07:17] <_KAMI_1> regarding U10.04 [07:17] <_KAMI_1> and radon driver [07:17] _KAMI_1: Just ask your question...

[07:18] Archy1987: I mean, we DO have WINE [07:18] i have wine too [07:18] <_KAMI_1> okay sorry [07:18] but i was impossible to run any of win-based apps [07:18] <_KAMI_1> Then I go to there [07:19] Archy1987: Hm, it indeed is not very good, but... well, i keep a dualboot [07:19] its not impossible, it just requires work to get it working [07:19] yes i have read but it says it is for older version i am using ubuntu 9.10 karmic kaola [07:19] theadmin: but wine doesn't work for many windows applications. [07:19] has anyone ever had a problem with 9.10 and the file system not being found [07:19] theadmin, me too :P i have dual ubuntu - xp boot [07:20] theadmin, because i am a civil engineer, and i need AutoCad - program, that cannot be run on linux [07:20] Archy1987: Ahaha, EXACTLY same here. Ubuntu 9.10, Windows XP SP3 RU [07:20] hi, i'm making figures for my thesis in geometry. my figures are polygons. so i'm using inkscape, and it ALMOST works perfect, but some things are really tricky, and they ignore me on the irc :-). maybe i should use the gimp? but the gimp is complicated! anything else? thanks! [07:20] theadmin, hahaha, exactly same! ubuntu 9.10 + xp sp3 ru [07:20] mihir, its almost the same, there should be network manager icon on your desktop, more specifically a task bar [07:20] whorush: Join #ubuntu-offtopic and explain what's tricky [07:20] who else isn't liking the 10.04 concept art? [07:20] Peddy: #ubuntu+1 for Lucid, thanks [07:20] dont i need a sort of ccleaner when i remove a software ? [07:20] Hi. Has anyone tested ubuntu 10.04 alpha? Is there still a problem with usb flash drivers? At this morning I was trying to connect to my laptop with ubuntu 10.04 Sony Reader prs-300, but was nothing. lsusb also was empty [07:20] kthx Flannel [07:21] eeexception: #ubuntu+1 [07:21] ubottu: lucid | eeexception [07:21] eeexception: 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 [07:21] 1/join #ubuntu+1 [07:21] claws_: Registry cleaners in Windows does not really make things go faster. :) [07:21] yes it is there and right now i am using internet through lan [07:21] Flannel, thanks [07:21] but there is no wireless network in range there [07:21] mihir, so right click on it and click on enable wireless === lordmortis is now known as lordmortis|away [07:22] kinja-sheep: i was more or less thinking of config files that i have to remove manualy [07:22] claws_: We don't have a registry or that kinda crap on Ubuntu, when you remove, it's removed, and so there. [07:22] it is enabled [07:23] Bleh. Why when i try to set the homepage in Firefox to 127.0.0.1, it freezes? Only on Ubuntu, works fine on other Linux's and Windows [07:23] mihir, and so when you left click on the network manager icon, you don't see any networks with bars? [07:23] no [07:23] claws_: You could "sudo aptitude purge " that will remove the package's config files. As for personal yet package-related config files, it is usually untouched in ~/ (Only because that's personal config files).. [07:23] mihir, open up terminal, type in "lspci -nnk" *without quotes* and pastebin the output [07:24] theadmin: Try localhost? :0 [07:24] how to open terminal [07:24] kinja-sheep: Hm, weird. [07:24] mihir: In Applications --> Accessories. [07:24] kinja-sheep: But it worked [07:24] Archy1987: sadly, I don't believe Linux will ever get the hordes of popular software, unless it changes its culture in some obvious way. Linux is associated with highly idealistic people who hate proprietary software past all point of reason in my opinion. There is no sympathy for the realities of commercial software making & distribution. [07:24] theadmin: my firefox doesn't freeze, just says can't connect to 127.0.0.1 [07:24] theadmin: Weird, indeed. [07:25] adarsha: Hm. Running no server i belive? :D [07:25] Archy1987: consequently, there will never be such software and the best we can hope is to clone Windows and OS X APIs so that we can run the software meant for those platforms. [07:25] nope! i'm using a laptop. :) [07:25] adarsha: Server as in Apache [07:25] !terminal | mihir [07:25] mihir: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

[07:49] Kutakizukari, yes [07:49] please help me [07:49] soreau: Do you mean something like /dev/sdf1/?

For example, sudo mount /dev/sdf1 /media/disk [07:50] That is a unix like ping [07:51] Andorin: you need to specifivy the device and the mount point === KennethP_ is now known as KennethP [07:51] ikonia :; 64 bytes from 10.10.249.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=6.71 ms i am geting this [07:51] ranjan: ok - great, so in that case it's either a.) the dns servers are not valid, b.) the default gateway cannot route to that subnet [07:51] soreau: Okay, I get an error, shall I pastebin it?

[07:55] soreau: you're correct [07:55] soreau: That can't be the case. This drive hasn't been plugged into a Windows computer for... about a month, maybe. This error just started happening about fifteen minutes ago. [07:56] #j [07:56] Andorin: I assume the device is ntfs or fat fs? [07:56] ok, this is annoying... I installed hfsprogs via Synaptic, and I still cannot format disks as hfs+ ...only as hfs [07:56] ikonia: Pretty obvious, with the plainly descriptive output and such ;) [07:56] anyone got a clue why that might be?

Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [07:56] ikonia :; so i nead to talk to the network admin with this issue .. and one last question .. if there have been any issue with the values then i could not have recived the login portal page .. but it is showing up .. and not only that i am able to make login to the portal..... [07:57] ranjan: that portal maybe on the same network [07:57] can anyone help me with this error that i get: common problems: boot args (cat /proc/cmdline) [07:57] ranjan: or be cached [07:57] btw, what _is_ casper-rw? === lance_ is now known as Guest10301 [07:57] Andorin: Well I dont think linux has any utilities designed for checking that file system. You will have do plug the device into a machine that has an os with utilities for its fs [07:57] not finding anything on Google... [07:57] casper is kind of like compressed filesystem [07:57] how so I install "google-fu" === lordmortis|away is now known as lordmortis [07:58] After the lspci -nnk output it displays usage: lspci [] and a bunch or text like basic display modes and other stuff. what do I do next [07:58] Andorin: If the device had an ext fs on it, this wouldnt be a problem ;) [07:58] Kutakizukari, you're not typing it right, a correct output would show you all the devices connected via PCI or related methods [07:59] soreau: I don't understand how this could have come about... I plugged the drive into my desktop (both computer run Karmic) and copied my .mozilla folder onto it to put on my laptop, onto which I just reinstalled Karmic. I unmount, wait until it says "It is now safe to remove the device," unplug it, take it to the laptop, and it doesn't work. === Guest10301 is now known as lance---- [07:59] ;) [07:59] ikonia:: cached.. i am not geting this .. i think i nead to talk with the admin of this network .. [07:59] can anyone help me with this error that i get: common problems: boot args (cat /proc/cmdline) [07:59] soreau: And I would have an ext file system if I didn't also have to sometimes use the drive with someone's Windows machine. [08:00] Andorin: Something happened and the fs decided to fail you. Since it is not a native fs for linux, there arent any native utilities to fix it [08:01] pantaskah aq ini jadi penghuni sorga [08:01] can anyone help me with this error that i get: common problems: boot args (cat /proc/cmdline) [08:01] psycho_oreos: I did it with sudo it now says PCI access options [08:02] Kutakizukari, that isn't right either [08:02] Andorin: And fwiw, there are drivers for windoze so it can read ext fs [08:02] why is my adsl speed so low on linux.. im on wlan.. anything im missin? [08:03] claws_: probably poor wirless card support [08:03] soreau: Sure, but... primarily I use it with public library computers. Also, I don't know what I'm going to do... I don't have a Windows OS on any of my computers... [08:03] psycho_oreos: ok tried this sudo lshw -C network and it show that it is disabled [08:04] Andorin: you can use the "force" option to mount without checking [08:04] Kutakizukari, I don't need lshw, I need "lspci -nnk" [08:04] Is that really something I want to do? [08:04] Andorin: Try asking in #linux or #hardware? [08:04] Andorin: not in my opinion, but it's an option [08:04] Andorin: check out ntfs-3g maybe? [08:04] Kutakizukari, here: http://mike.passwall.com/nblug/kernel-talk/lspci.html [08:04] Andorin: Well yes, you can use -f.. but I wouldnt openly recommend it [08:04] Okay, well, I don't want to screw anything else up more than this situation already is... I mean, I NEED this drive. [08:05] Andorin: you need to start backing it up then [08:05] psycho_oreos: got it to work was typing output with it [08:05] Andorin: and you need to use a windows machine to check it [08:05] psycho_oreos: what do you need now [08:05] Kutakizukari, need you to copy the contents of that output and paste it into pastebin, then send me the link [08:05] is there any way to have windows partition be able to view the linux(ubuntu) partition? [08:05] read/write [08:06] plum, you'll need ext2ifs I think [08:06] plum: Yes [08:06] is it free? [08:06] plum: Yes [08:06] Andorin: testdisk might be useful,but read before using it.

[08:07] soreau: yeah i can't load my filesystem for some reason and i don't know it was working perfectly yesterday and puff everything goes wrong when i wake up to turn it on [08:07] Andorin: there _is_ a utility to do an fsck on an NTFS FS on Linux - it is called ntfsfix - google it. But use at your own risk [08:08] Whats the equivalent of ctrl alt delete in ubunutu? [08:08] Andorin: the full functionality of SCANDISK on windows for NTFS is not replicated in ntfs-3g (whatever that full functionality may be) [08:09] I think my ubuntu froze :( [08:09] ikonia: im not so sure aboute that... here is my Router "http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Communication/Products_Spec.aspx?ProductID=2974&ProductName=GN-BR32L-RH" and my wireless card is a Intel pro 2200bg.

[08:28] Psycho_oreos: awesome nick [08:28] ActionParsnip, err ok thanks :) [08:29] no one knows that answer, eh [08:30] Logicwax: I joined after the question. Maybe I can help [08:30] whats the point of partitioning an HDD with a specific partition table, when you can just directly format it? (mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda) [08:30] I just noticed that [08:30] there we go [08:31] because i just built another raid5 mdadm array....and im formatting it right now directly. and i never made a partition table on it....and it works [08:31] and no I don't quite understand the question either, read it the second time [08:31] was wondering if theres a downside to it [08:31] or something that will come and bite me in the ass down the road [08:31] psycho_oreos: like say...for example, you have a new HDD..../dev/sdb [08:32] a partition table sets up various limits, and it prevents excessive fragging on one partition. if its a huge partition and it needs to be fsck'ed it will take awhile [08:32] Logicwax: not sure. Both a "normal" partition and the drive as you have it are files in Linux so are equal in that respect [08:32] so writing a partition table and THEN formating isnt going to make any difference then just straight direct formating without a table? [08:32] Logicwax: if it works and its performing ok then keep it ;) [08:33] and having separate partitions can possibly safeguard some bad mistakes, like deleting stuff from /boot or /home, etc when they are mounted on different partition [08:33] Logicwax: I've never had a drive with a single partition on it [08:33] oh no this isnt going to be used for the OS, or be divided into partitions [08:33] if you format without a table, you don't really have a partition table or you probably have one big partition [08:33] yea [08:34] how to reinstall packages that are from 9.10 repository (distro is 9.04 and now repo is 9.04 ) ?how to fix this error ? http://pastebin.com/2cSMkQNN [08:34] sorry [08:34] how to fix this error ? http://pastebin.com/2cSMkQNN [08:34] Logicwax: sounds like a miniresearch project. I'd ask in #hardware too [08:34] so i was just wondering if having no table will haunt me in the future......maybe cause problems [08:34] I'm having an issue sending mail with postfix. When I telnet in locally, I can send mail just fine. but when I try to do it from anywhere else, I get this error: Mar 5 00:31:31 H4ckM3 postfix/smtpd[31198]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from c-67-185-215-55.hsd1.wa.comcast.net[67.185.215.55]: 554 5.7.1 : Relay access denied; [08:34] I don't have experience in RAID setups [08:35] well forget that its a RAID [08:35] Dehqan: mixingdebs from diffferent release is heavily discouraged and not supported [08:35] claws_, soreau if i use save image as, it downloads only that small download.gif image.

I'm a complete newb with this. [08:35] im just wondering if the partition table matters [08:35] Logicwax: after a few minutes with google, I've found a few offhand remarks about using the entire device, but nothing specific so far.

[08:35] Logicwax: remarks about it being a bad idea, i mean. [08:35] Logicwax, probably not ideal to not have a predefined partition table even if you're going to use the entire drive [08:36] Kutakizukari, no, not one bit [08:36] Dehqan: not sure. Log a bug. If you have mixed release debs then this is the result [08:36] Kutakizukari, in fact that's worse than your previous guess [08:36] brjann: bad idea? [08:37] Kutakizukari, there's like 7 different wireless manufacturers out there [08:37] Dehqan: jaunty debs are for jaunty only. Karmic are for karmic only. If you mix them you will get a mess and break your install [08:37] Kutakizukari, and I can't see how you can't copy the entire lspci -nnk output [08:37] Logicwax: using the entire device unpartitioned. [08:37] I can copy it but have nothing to transfer it of to my desktop [08:38] Kutakizukari, you mean its on another computer?

[09:08] adante: odd. [09:08] yeah [09:08] what are the chances of me getting a working keyboard in say the next 15 minutes [09:08] does it show up again if you choose another country? [09:08] just ballpark figure here :] [09:08] heh, I don't do well with theory [09:08] you on a laptop Gnea ? [09:09] iwobbles: are you? [09:09] dang, the universal usb installer failed :/ [09:09] what should i be changing [09:09] to get a keyboard which types "asdf" when i type "asdf" [09:09] its shift + scroll-lock on a lot of em eh [09:09] instead of my current setup which types "abfh" when i type "asdf" [09:10] adante: try iwobbles suggestion? [09:10] anyone knows what the purpose is of "ServerName" in apache? is this just for virtualhosts or has this another purpose? [09:10] Thank you all for your help! [09:10] Nico___: it's for virtual hosts, yes [09:11] nothing else? [09:11] how to tell apt-get to not stop at error like a package is not in source [09:11] Nico___: It *might* be what $_SERVER['host'] or something is set to in PHP [09:11] okay thank you! [09:12] is it possible to make a 273MB casper-rw file? [09:12] adante: do you by chance use vino or vnc? [09:12] brjann: vnc === ktogias__ is now known as ktogias === lordmortis|away is now known as lordmortis [09:14] how can I disable USB storage usage for users???? [09:15] adante: okay. you're experiencing what is apparently known as the abfh bug, which appears to be somehow related to vnc. try this: open up a terminal window and type (sorry) gconf-editor [09:15] how to make apt-get to not stop at E: Package gstreamer0.10-nice has no installation candidate [09:16] adante: or just cut 'n paste it if it won't type out [09:16] brjann: lol, ok :] [09:16] adante: then navigate to desktop > gnome > peripherals > keyboard > kbd [09:16] c0l2e: Users have to use sudo to mount devices. you can limit what commands can be run by editing the sudoers file [09:17] hmm does base ubuntu have an onscreen keyboard [09:17] i mean totally ban usage of USB drives or external usb drives [09:17] What's that thing that shows the white ubuntu icon when you first boot? I know it's themeable I just can't rememebr [09:18] adante: should be under the accessibility options [09:18] ive updated recently using the auto updates, and now scrolling in firefox is verychoppy [09:18] c0l2e: to lock the desktop down? [09:18] new .20 kernel? [09:18] Gnea: where is that, exactly? [09:19] no i just need to disable usb storage so they cannot use USB storage / external usb storage to store data from network...etc [09:19] adante: I think it's under System->Preferences [09:19] c0l2e: Right. My solution should prevent that, since they won't be able to mount the devices to use them. [09:19] c0l2e: just make sure they're not part of the group associated with usb drives [09:20] adante: you shouldn't need it. once you have gconf-editor open we can see if this fix will work in about 30 seconds [09:20] c0l2e: As long as you have no daemon running that will auto-mount them, that is [09:20] FireCrotch: tried adding usb-storage to blacklist of modprobe.conf [09:20] brjann: ok, i made it! [09:20] but not working [09:20] FireCrotch: where is that? [09:21] brjann: yeah, i couldn't actually even find the letter 'g' after pressing every key on my keyboard... but nm, i launched gconf-editor from a shell [09:21] brjann: i'm at the kbd node anyway, what's the next step [09:21] adante: hooray! navigate to desktop > gnome > peripherals > keyboard > kbd [09:21] adante: okay, on the right you should see either an empty value [] or something like [us] or [] [09:22] c0l2e: Right now, do USB drives auto-mount? [09:22] yep [09:22] brjann: i have 3 key-value pairs [09:22] brjann: layouts:[us,gb]; model:; options[grp grp:alts_toggle] [09:22] I can set nautilus not to mount them.. but still they can see the new storage device in nautilus and click it to mount [09:23] adante: okay, doubleclick layouts and just pound your keyboard a few times to enter some garbage [09:23] but I do not want to disable all usb devices.. just for storage only [09:23] brjann: easy! :] done [09:23] adante: i.e., remove the layouts that are there and add a new garbage one [09:23] that, i am good at :P [09:24] adante: hehe, okay. hit okay and close gconf-editor, then cross your fingers and test your keyboard [09:24] brjann: hrm no luck.. would i have to restart my x session? will try that now [09:24] adante: hm, gconf settings usually take effect instantly. but sure, you can try that [09:25] Ok what's the splash after grub but before usplash? [09:25] c0l2e: "gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/media_automount false" should disable automounting [09:26] Hi, what is the meaning of POSIX-compatible filesystem? [09:26] brjann: sadly no vnc server does not start at all [09:26] FireCrotch: yeah i got this but it still shows that a new storage devices is available [09:26] just click and it will mount [09:27] adante: hm. you have ssh access? we can reset that key from the command line === ktogias_ is now known as ktogias [09:27] c0l2e: I believe it showing up there is handled by udev, so you'll have to write a udev rule to stop it from doing that [09:28] brjann: yeah i do [09:28] FireCrotch: yeah. but I don't have any idea how to do it [09:28] adante: okay, login and run gconftool --set /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd/layouts --type List --list-type String [us,gb] [09:29] any option to lock icons on desktop in Ubuntu?? [09:30] brjann: hmm tried that but vncserver still doesn't run [09:30] brjann: i'm not sure if this is related to the gconf setting or not, seems kind of odd [09:30] c0l2e: This might be a good place to start with that: http://siliconbased.wordpress.com/2009/03/03/ignoring-devices-with-udev-rules/ [09:30] adante: it does indeed, keyboard layouts shouldn't prevent vnc from starting [09:30] thanks [09:30] found a way to bind it to a group [09:30] brjann: sadly i am unsure how to get any form of logging on vncserver [09:31] adante: i haven't used vnc since like 1998, so i have no idea either :) [09:32] Most people just use X11 forwarding via ssh, its similair and more platform independent [09:32] is apache2-mpm-peruser included as a package for any version of ubuntu? === shai_ is now known as Guest74561 [09:32] adante: i'd either reboot or at least restart gdm and see if that helps [09:32] How big does a live cd usb have to be ? 700 mb? [09:33] x11 forwarding via ssh is more platform independent than vnc you say [09:33] adante: I would say so [09:33] aeiou_: I don't see it for Karmic [09:33] in grub2 [09:33] how does grub-mkconfig know what partion to assign to root=bla [09:33] ? [09:33] aeiou_: you can check packages.ubuntu.com to check the other versions [09:33] adante: on OSX ssh will just work, on ant unix like system ssh will be there and in windows just install xwin32 [09:34] I mean a (Live-cd) usb install stick , 700 mb? [09:34] FireCrotch, ok thanks I'll have to compile then [09:34] jellow: the same as for a CD :) [09:34] is it possible having a dual head pc with a monitor using a full screen virtualbox session? === sabgenton_ is now known as sabgenton [09:34] FireCrotch: Ok thanks [09:34] Hello [09:35] mementomori: basically so that you can have, for instance, Windows on one monitor, Ubuntu on another? Certainly [09:35] does anyone know how to extract external links from a pdf document [09:35] brjann: well i'm trying to forge ahead with an upgrade to 9.10 now anyway via cmd line [09:35] brjann: thanks for your help, appreciated! [09:35] (this is the pdf embedded in a browser split into many files problem) [09:35] Hey guys do you instal yum on Ubuntu [09:36] mementomori: im doing it right now, you just need the vbox guest additions [09:36] FireCrotch, exactly. which video card should I buy? ndivia or ati? [09:36] nvidia [09:36] nvidia [09:36] no ati [09:36] mtx_init: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:36] nvidia [09:36] mementomori: nvidia, for sure [09:36] can someone ...anyone... tell me why I cannot format a partition as hfs+ even after installing hfsprogs? [09:36] adante: no problem. here's the link to the page i was looking at, there's one other possibility in the comments that might help related to the .vnc/xstartup script: http://blog.yclian.com/2007/12/3-solutions-to-gnomevnc-keyboard.html [09:36] satdav: Um why would you want to do that? [09:36] this has me seriously flustered [09:36] satdav, you dont [09:36] mtx_init, what happens if you try to "rotate" the cube? [09:37] yum is a good service [09:37] satdav: yum is horrible [09:37] satdav, nonetheless ubuntu uses apt [09:37] mementomori: I disable all of that stuff, Im not a fan of fancy gui;s, so I have no idea [09:37] satdav: and ubuntu uses apt [09:37] what is apt [09:37] I never hered of that [09:37] !apt > satdav [09:37] satdav, please see my private message [09:37] mtx_init, so you dont have compix. ok [09:37] satdav: it's ubuntu's package management system [09:38] mementomori: nope, well it is likely on the system, but I spend most time in the terminal, so I dont use it [09:38] OK does it include openfire on that [09:38] mtx_init, how many virtual desktop do you have? [09:38] satdav, what is openfire [09:39] mementomori: I *think* you can set each head separately when it comes to the cube and stuff, but its complex [09:39] mementomori: I have a few windows installs for different purposes. One to print ecoupons lets say, another to download ebooks, another to work on my resume and thats about it. [09:39] it is a java based irc cliant [09:40] what I want to know is each head is binded to a different X session or to a different virtual desktop [09:40] satdav, what version of Ubuntu are you using [09:40] the latest one [09:40] satdav, apt-cache search openfire [09:40] OK [09:41] so I need to ssh to it [09:41] FireCrotch: found it and now it works [09:41] why different windows installs as apposed to one window install to handle all of that? [09:41] c0l2e: Yay [09:41] how can I test for group in udev's? rules? [09:41] I'll post it in my blog [09:41] http://hardc0l2e.wordpress.com [09:42] mtx_init, FireCrotch... [09:42] Now secondly, how can I bind that rules against groups?? [09:42] hey guys what is the command to install tomcat [09:42] whats up? [09:42] mementomori: you can have separate x sessions [09:42] example only users of group usb_users can access USB drives === djungelkraem_ is now known as djungelkraem [09:43] satdav, tomcat6? === guestt13215 is now known as poetroue [09:44] FireCrotch, should I configure them manually or will it be done "automatically" [09:44] hey === aeiou_ is now known as aeiou [09:44] c0l2e: I would have udev mount USB drives as being read/write for only the usb_users group [09:44] anybody from cali [09:45] FireCrotch: yeah [09:45] IM FROM THE BAY [09:45] anyboay [09:45] hi guys i install ubuntu remix in my acer aspire one but i have problems with 3 things , microphone , i can read any sd card and the mp4 videos run very slow.

[09:47] OK [09:47] any help ¿? [09:48] why can't I create a directory when I'm a member of a group with rwx? [09:49] rocketeerbkw, type the command "id" in the shell you are trying to make the dir and see if you are actually in that group [09:49] mementomori: I don't know of any specific docs, but I did check, and you can set each monitor to use a separate X session with nvidia-settings [09:49] rocketeerbkw: is the filesystem readonly? [09:49] FireCrotch, thank you. [09:49] Is there some distro, even more newbie-friendly than Ubuntu? [09:50] I should be able to have more than 10 tabs open in FF without it acting like it wants to crash every 2 min [09:50] lamefun: maybe mint [09:50] FireCrotch: id says I'm not, but groups does [09:50] brjann: nope [09:50] lamefun: For linux, I would say probably not [09:50] FireCrotch, should I login in both head? [09:50] lamefun, that is outside of the scope of this channel, try #ubuntu-offtopic [09:50] rocketeerbkw: did you happen to add yourself to this group during the same login session you're in now? [09:50] lamefun, mandriva [09:50] Firefox is feeling very buggy and overweight [09:50] mementomori: what do you mean? [09:51] FireCrotch, if I have two different X sessions at startup will I have two different gdm login screens? [09:51] brjann: yes, is it as simple as logging out and in again? [09:51] rocketeerbkw: yep [09:51] rocketeerbkw, you can try to cast "su -" [09:52] brjann: thx! [09:52] rocketeerbkw: no problem :) [09:52] mementomori: I don't think you'll have two gdm login screens, but I'll have to defer to someone else on that question, since I don't have my other computer anymore to try it out on [09:52] i accidentally mess up my compiz configuration... i can no longer use my left click button on my mouse unless i hold press ctrl first before using the left click (or right click too maybe) how may i resolve my problem? [09:53] piojunbabia: ccsm>Preferences>Reset to Defaults [09:53] piojunbabia: Or, sys>prefs>appearance>visual effects>none [09:53] soreau let me try, thanks [09:53] mementomori, FireCrotch: no, if you set up seperate x screens using nvidia-settings you'll still only have the one gdm login screen. [09:53] what is a good lightweight alternative to FF? [09:54] zetheroo: edbrowse [09:54] zetheroo, ff as in firefox? [09:54] brjann: Thanks for chiming in :) Am I correct in saying that he'll be able to have separate compiz cubes on them? [09:54] skrite: yep [09:54] FireCrotch, ok. last question: will I need two mice and keyboards or is sufficient to move the mouse in the screen I want to work on to focus it? [09:54] I am running Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron. Yesterday Ubuntu downloaded updates including a kernel update. Grub update asked to replace menu.lst so I clicked on what seemed the most sensible option (replace with package maintainers version). Now Ubuntu wont boot. Grub comes up with Error 11: Unrecognized device string. Now this happened last time I had a kernel update and I fixed it by replacing the uuid entries with /dev/sdxy entries but I think this should [09:54] zetheroo, google-chrome is pretty cool [09:55] mementomori: just one kb and mouse :) [09:55] skrite; is that in the repos? [09:55] FireCrotch: Yes, but you wont be able to move windows from one screen to the other [09:55] FireCrotch: i'd imagine so. in every respect they're separate screens. they could run different WMs if he wanted [09:55] no, easy to get though, one click [09:55] zetheroo, will get you the link [09:55] soreau, this is not an issue for me... [09:55] Chromium Browser [09:55] is that the same [09:56] ? [09:56] soreau: geee thanks it worked!!!! [09:56] zetheroo, add the ppa [09:56] zetheroo, i suggest just download chrome [09:56] any excel nerds in here? How do I count a column for the number of instances of cells containing the letter B ? say "wubrgamer" (my nick) if you care to respond please! This should work in Calc too [09:56] piojunbabia: cool [09:56] zetheroo, www.google.com/chrome [09:56] i have 2 network interfaces, Can i use make ssh to use only eth0 and not wlan0 [09:56] brjann, soreau: Thanks again :) I haven't had too much experience with dual monitor setups [09:56] guys any idea what error -3 means when running splashy? [09:57] indus: is it the same as Chromium Browser [09:57] ? [09:57] srv: are we talking about on the ssh server or client? [09:57] srv: You could unload the wifi driver module [09:57] I just reinstated my old menu.lst and it works. Thing I cant understand is why the uuid version doesnt work when the uuids have been generated by grub update and they appear to be correct [09:57] ssh client [09:57] zetheroo, its the same underlying code but its a google product, chromium is open source [09:57] zetheroo, i think cromium and chrome are just the same [09:57] zetheroo, its a long story [09:58] soreau: i dont want to do that, i have some apps using wlan0 [09:58] zetheroo, chrome is stable, chromium is development and will break [09:58] indus; I have Chromium Browser Daily Builds in Ubuntu Tweak as a PPA repo I can add [09:58] I have a quick question, I just got ubuntu and I'm rather new to lynux and I downloaded a game from the software center and my sound goes out of wack when I play it, also I can't use the rythembox and play the game at the same time my sound goes entirely out... any sugjestions? [09:58] zetheroo, what exactly do you need [09:58] srv: Well you said you wanted to use eth0 and not wlan0. Maube you should describe a bit more in detail your situation [09:58] indus: there is another repo I can add called Google Stable Source [09:59] zetheroo, where? [09:59] I am running Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron. Yesterday Ubuntu downloaded updates including a kernel update. Grub update asked to replace menu.lst so I clicked on what seemed the most sensible option (replace with package maintainers version). Now Ubuntu wont boot.

[10:15] srv: My apologies, I forgot to mention that you need to change 192.168.2.0 to the IP subnet that your eth0 network is using [10:15] FireCrotch: i know, i replaced it with my ip lol [10:16] hence i asked why 24? [10:16] actually, i meant that [10:16] I just checked out sound preferences and it said with applications, firefox, mute. But I unmuted it, and still have no sound. question #1: How did it get muted? I never did that. #2: WHERE IS MY SOUND :( [10:16] It shouldn't be your machine's IP, you want the network's address. so if your IP is 192.168.1.100 then you want to use 192.168.1.0 [10:17] No, i am asking about /24 [10:17] srv: the /24 specifies that the first 24 bits of the IP are the network portion of the IP [10:17] srv, /24 is the netmask bit [10:17] it's equivalent to the subnet mask being 255.255.255.0 [10:17] when i do that i get route: netmask 000000ff doesn't make sense with host route [10:18] srv, what's you network problem? [10:18] srv, what's your network problem? [10:19] when i give "route add 192.168.13.0/24" i get route: netmask 000000ff doesn't make sense with host route [10:20] srv, paste somewhere the ifconfig and route commands' outputs [10:20] FireCrotch: mementomori: i guess it has worked === Blue-Omega_ is now known as Guest10546 [10:20] i did a "route add 192.168.13.0 eth0" and it worked [10:20] :) [10:20] oh, yes... you was missing the interface... ;) [10:21] does it mean "Use eth0 for all addressed in 192.168.13.0 network [10:21] correct? [10:21] no [10:21] what does it mean then [10:21] yep, that's what it mean [10:21] you just added a new route === Guest10546 is now known as Blue-Omega [10:21] can you explain [10:21] you should add a new default gateway for having what you asked for [10:22] mementomori: what should i do now and how [10:22] sorry for being so stupid [10:23] srv: you're now able to ssh to your servers, correct? [10:23] yes i am right now [10:23] so dont do any changes [10:24] but tell me this default gateway thing? [10:24] maybe I'm getting a bit confused... [10:24] what does it mean [10:24] srv, the default gateway is the default route your packets will be sent to [10:24] srv: you'll want that route to be added every time the eth0 interface is brought up, so you'll need to add something to /etc/network/interfaces also [10:25] srv, the default gateway is the default host your packets will be sent to [10:25] okay got it [10:25] since i have 2 interfaces, i want to send packets to the other one as well, i dont want default gateway [10:25] srv, sure [10:25] okay guys, i got what i want - thank you [10:26] sorry for my bad answers... [10:26] mementomori: i love you ;-) [10:26] can i play songs (any format) from command prompt? e.g. playing songs from ubuntu server etc (not gui) [10:26] srv: in your /etc/network/interfaces file, for the eth0 interface, you'll want to add this: post-up [10:26] lol ;) [10:26] FireCrotch: you were talking about doing this "port" wise correct? [10:27] srv: I had mentioned doing it per port, but this is the proper way to do it [10:27] okay [10:27] hmm [10:27] I wasn't thinking when I said to forward the port [10:28] pls i plug my ethernet cable from my modem to my karmic emachine laptop and does not even display auto etho but it does when i connect it to my karmic desktop... what does this mean? [10:28] can anyone help me with this problem? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8919419 [10:28] what is emachine?

[10:30] darolu: which one is the bset? [10:31] hallo all [10:31] how do I boot into a previous kernel? [10:31] wonder if anyone can help [10:31] abhi_nav: sudo apt-get install links mplayer elinks lynx [10:31] and i think it's not about flash, because i can see videos on vimeo.com, for example. Actually, i think this starts to happen when i switch to the new theme/look of youtube [10:31] installed ubuntu studio [10:31] darolu: ok === star is now known as Guest65162 [10:31] since then my gnome panel is not smooth :/ [10:31] it just looks weird all my gtk apps :( === Guest65162 is now known as star3am [10:31] Paulo39: You mean the HTML5 version? [10:31] abhi_nav: there's no "best" program, I like links more, but others like lynx the best as it has 'pretty colours' :P [10:31] aka the beta one? [10:32] Hi guys Top of the day to you .. Problem .. Installed Adobe flash player with deb package manager ... Says its installed but will not work .. help ! [10:32] HangukMiguk: hum.. i dont now, its a new template from youtube website [10:33] it's possible that tey are using html5 and chromium doenst have support for that yet? [10:33] darolu when using ubuntu server how to switch from irssi to command prompt without closing irssi? actually I want to run irssi, links(or other) and mplayer (or other) simultaneously [10:33] RootRat: Have you restarted your browser? [10:33] abhi_nav: you can use screen [10:33] abhi_nav: a VERY popular audio player for the command line is mp3blaster, but I haven't used it that much [10:33] Firecrotch yes sir /mame [10:33] Paulo39: I think the HTML5 player doesn't have support in Linux yet. I know it doesn't in Firefox yet, but it might not in Chrome yet either. [10:34] RootRat: What browser are you using? [10:34] Paulo39: what is screen? is it any apps? [10:34] abhi_nav: with Ctrl+Alt+Z you send apps to the background [10:34] hum.. but in firefox i am totally able to see the videos [10:34] darolu: ok but i wll install that also. thnx [10:34] when login page comes up , mouse and keyboard does not work , how to fix it ? [10:34] FireCrotch I am using firefox [10:34] abhi_nav: with $ jobs you see what apps you have running [10:35] darolu: $job ? [10:35] darolu: its not working [10:35] Paulo39: what is screen? is it any apps? [10:35] http://www.rackaid.com/resources/linux-screen-tutorial-and-how-to/ [10:36] abhi_nav: jobs with an S [10:36] screen is a program that lets you to have multiple apps/processes running from the same terminal [10:36] Paulo39: thnx :) [10:36] and you can switch between them without to have to stop each one when you wanto to switch [10:36] darolu: ???? can you give me the actual command? jobs s is not working too [10:36] Paulo39: you dont need screen to do that, you do need screen to multiplex them for your viewing. [10:36] Paulo39: hmm ok [10:36] it's really useful [10:37] uhmmm "jobs" is the actual command to list what you have running in the background :S [10:37] mtx_init: how do u mean - multiplex? [10:37] mtx_init: if i want to run, for example, irssi and finch, its very useful to have screen and i can switch between them easily [10:37] Paulo39: looks like chrome works with HTML5 player. I'm really not sure... [10:37] Paulo39: yes, but you dont need it. [10:38] darolu: it just executes that jobs command but not showing any results?? :( [10:38] mtx_init: how would you do that? [10:38] ddavids: if you dont use screen and put programs to the background, they can still print to the forground. screen works as a multiplexer for tty's. [10:38] Paulo39: just run each as a backround process. [10:39] mtx_init: it's possible, but is not useful [10:39] mtx_init: can you please tell me teh keyboard shortcut for tihs? i am new [10:39] yah i am using screen also [10:39] screen is great [10:39] one of the best tools out there [10:39] no but you tell me that other process naa? [10:39] what is screen? [10:39] abhi_nav: if you haven't sent anything to the background with "Ctrl + Z" it won't show anything :p [10:39] !screen [10:39] Screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH.

[11:16] err canT [11:17] tehbaut: yep [11:17] question: if Ubuntu is based on Debian, why can I get deb to run on my laptop but not ubuntu? [11:17] FireCrotch: I'm about to test it with my wifi key [11:17] roba0665: because Ubuntu changes things :) [11:17] rebootin' [11:18] roba0665: what seems to be the problem with Ubuntu on your laptop? [11:18] FireCrotch: what about files saved to the desktop? [11:18] Ok I'll try to fix it by myself as I'm being ignored here!! hahaha, c ya guys [11:18] roba0665, possibly because ubuntu is debian based, but debian isn't ubuntu. Check the system req's for each and see the difference, if there is none, check supported hardwares on both. [11:18] tehbaut: those should be saved as well [11:18] fire: Im not sure exactly, I feel its video related, can install minimal fine... [11:18] FireCrotch: and if they're too big, are they just skipped? [11:18] exit === hexdump is now known as Hellhound666 [11:19] tehbaut: That I couldn't tell you [11:19] fire: Ubuntu just locks up, no response, mouse pointer still moves but even the onscreen clock is frozen...

[11:19] FireCrotch: mkay, guess I'll find out [11:19] How do I move filenames with different extentions to a directory [11:19] fire: good question, (and Im at work at present not at home) default Asus A3000N laptop [11:20] like mmv -v "*.tgz*" /directory but multiple file extentions [11:20] without writing a shell script [11:20] waht command shall i use to extract audio from a .pps file ?

[11:22] roba0665, did you look at the supported hardware pages on both Debian and Ubuntu's sites? [11:22] FireCrotch: sweet, wifi persisted.. cool! thanks! ;) [11:22] spaceghost: no [11:22] jolaren, sudo apt-get install linux-source-2.6.31 [11:22] roba0665, try that, make sure it's even supported in ubuntu. [11:23] roba0665, also check general requrements for both. [11:23] tehbaut: you're welcome :) [11:23] roba0665: I think it's just a driver problem [11:23] spaceghost: the Ipex Companion 59Z (which this unit is) appears in old supported pages for Ubuntu 6... [11:24] any idea if the casper-rw file is written to frequently, or only during shutdown? [11:24] roba0665, it might not be supported for newer versions, I suggest you actually look. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/ [11:24] SpaceGhostC2C, I didn't get the .19 source that downloaded the .20 source tho [11:25] tehbaut: I think it's written to when it needs to be written to, which is why you're supposed to use ext2 for it [11:25] tehbaut: I would assume more frequently than that, since otherwise the memory would run out fairly quickly. [11:25] hello [11:25] gotcha, that should keep crashes from loosing data I hope [11:25] Hallo [11:25] !hi | janbauke [11:25] janbauke: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!

[11:26] how are you [11:26] well, I hope it doesn't crash period, but you get the idea ;) [11:26] tehbaut: ext2 doesn't have all the journaling data that ext3 does, so it shouldn't wear your drive out (I assume that's what you're worried about) [11:26] janbauke, do you have a question?

The openoffice channel is #openoffice I think [11:45] in ubuntu [11:45] mihir: you can see which modules are loaded, but that is only a part of the bigger picture [11:45] FireCrotch: okay man :) thanks for the help :) [11:45] mihir: in ubuntu just try using the device and see if there is any errors in your logs [11:46] zak_: you're welcome :) [11:46] mihir: there is no equivalent of the Windows Device Manager in Ubuntu. Is there something in particular that you'd like to do in Ubuntu that you would typically do in the Device Manager in Windows?

[11:47] acpid: skipping conf file /root/acpi/power.conf [11:48] why it's skipping event.conf? [11:48] mihir: main think is it comes down if some device isn't behavior or operating right, it's a matter of figuring out why. In theory, as long as the kernel supports a device, it should just work for the most part. [11:48] i have broadcom wireless controller and ubuntu doesn´t have driver how install driver for that [11:49] mihir: did you first try "hardware devices" [11:49] mihir: under the menus in gnome [11:49] ! wifi | mihir [11:49] mihir: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [11:49] is there a NVidia channel?

[11:58] mihir: I think you're doing it wrong. The .htm extension is probably for html file, so it saved the html document, not the image, most likely. [11:58] popey, arand i rly dno how n what to do now [11:58] SpaceGhostC2C, Read the question. [11:58] karin_, just state the question. [11:59] karin_, you don't need to preface it.

[11:59] Where do I find a changelog for ubuntu kernel image updates? [11:59] I am running Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron. Yesterday Ubuntu downloaded updates including a kernel update. Grub update asked to replace menu.lst so I clicked on what seemed the most sensible option (replace with package maintainers version). Now Ubuntu wont boot. Grub comes up with Error 11: Unrecognized device string. Now this happened last time I had a kernel update and I fixed it by replacing the uuid entries with /dev/sdxy entries but I think this should [11:59] alankila, Yeah it was the first time.. And then I changd it to the correct one.. [11:59] though I have three installations so it might be picking up the wrong one.. [11:59] karin_: have you tried running update-grub since? It ought to notice the uuid from fstab and update. [12:00] mihir: ??? [12:00] alankila, Will try some more I may have missed something. [12:00] karin_: oh, that sounds a bit messy.

[12:23] Just found a sad flaw: the screen keyboard cant be used to type a password, because it gets faded out with everything else. [12:23] Hello there. I'm having a weird problem. Using Ubuntu 9.10 I sometimes have my desktops visual effects deactivated when booting up, sometimes its set to normal as intended but sometimes it jumps out to "none". I can activate it again manually with no problem, but its very anoying that it jumps out like that. I'm using a HP Pavilion DV6 laptop with Intel T6600 Dual core CPU and ATI Mobility Radeon 4650. [12:23] mihir, you can do it when you install ubuntu from live cd [12:24] I have installed the latest ATI drivers from atis homepage [12:24] after installation is it possible [12:24] like partition magic in windows [12:24] mihir, gparted [12:25] mihir : Install gparted . Its in Ubuntu Software center [12:25] what is the partition type in ubuntu like ntfs and fat in windows [12:25] mihir : ext4 [12:25] mihir : gparted supports ntfs and fat I think [12:26] is it possible to resize ext4 partition from gparted? [12:26] mihir: you can't resize ubuntu system partition if you're using it. you need the live cd to resize the system partition. it also depends on the method you installed with, did you use Wubi or did you do a proper installation? [12:26] I've done live resize on ext3 [12:26] does that not work on ext4 ?!? [12:26] mihir, maidai : google result for "resize ntfs linux" answer your question [12:27] hi [12:27] sorry 'online resize' [12:27] wejick : I think it is . But if you want to resize your Ubuntu system when you are using it you need to do it with the Live CD [12:27] i used Wubi for installation [12:27] can someone help me install dragon age origins with wine???? cause i cannot find any proper instructions [12:27] maidai, sure [12:28] Gangrel: and 'wine installername.exe' dosent work? or what have you done exactly? [12:28] Mihir : Don't go for gparted . It will create a mess as you installed it with wubi ( ie Windows as a host ) [12:28] hi does anyone know how to make pam_usb authentication working when you have an encrypt home? [12:28] mihir: then you can't resize. the pseudofile that contains the filesystem for your ubuntu is located inside your windows partition, and you can't make it bigger by any method. [12:28] the xscreensaver daemon doesnt start automatically WHY NOT? [12:28] shouldnt it? [12:29] Dr_Willis, while it is starting to install in crashes on some files [12:29] or at least be listed in the autostart programs? [12:29] wejick : And also as a volunteer here :) , you are not supposed to ask people to just Google or so . < [12:29] Gangrel: and you did check teh wine app database for that specific game? [12:29] hi all :D [12:29] i am back [12:29] interrupted by pplz [12:29] mihir, you can make another disk image, and copy the content of older disk image to new one [12:30] Dr_Willis, yes i did ... cannot seem to find proper installing instructions [12:30] noob2k : hello :) :) :) [12:30] how to take backup my data incase ubuntu corrupts [12:30] maidai, ya but it answer thousand question ;) [12:30] maidai, you are right. we are all here to help. Google can't be helping ;) [12:30] Gangrel: check the wine forums see if anyone else is trying it. [12:30] Gangrel: thers also #winehq channel I think [12:31] #winehq [12:31] mihir, you can use 'quickstart army knife' (search it with google) [12:31] wejick : But It doesn't satisfy the customers < people in need of help here > [12:31] where to get list of necessary packages that should be installed at least to have ubuntu works fine [12:31] what is the programm of Alt-F2 ? [12:31] dehqan: thers a ubuntu-minimal setup i recall.. but your question isent very clear. [12:31] dehqan, just standard installation makes ubuntu work fine [12:32] hey guys. I have a C-Media Electronics usb headset (headphones + mic) if i reduce the system volume below about 30% all audio cuts out on the headhpones, even though it's still quite loud at 31% + [12:32] maidai, okey [12:32] anyone else had this issue? [12:32] how to take backup my data incase ubuntu corrupts [12:32] nhak : Running commands ........

In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.3-1 (karmic), package size 34 kB, installed size 228 kB [12:33] nhak, i think it is like execute command in shell [12:33] How do I check which version of grub I have? I cant find a command. I dont think its grub 2. Its the version installed by Ubuntu 8.04 [12:33] alankila, SpaceGhostC2C : So linux-boot-prober which is run by update-grub will include the grub.cfg from the other partitions. So I had to run update grub on those partitions, and then on the main one. :-) . [12:33] nhak: the same as if you went to a terminal, typed in the name, and hit enter [12:33] Stargaze : I am too confused to tell whether that was a sarcasm [12:33] just a small application using bash right ? [12:34] nhak: its a gnome command/app i imagine. not a 'bash' script [12:34] I got an error when I try to authenticate with pam-usb [12:34] maidai, it was not, but Chrome records your surf behaviour, Iron does not [12:34] !tell mihir about backup [12:34] mihir, please see my private message [12:34] JonathanEllis, grub --version [12:34] I think it s because I have my home encrypt [12:34] what do I have to put my touchpad to sleep for good ?

[12:35] nhak: very little differances [12:35] they do not do the same thing right [12:35] nhak: on cli, stderr and stdout are printed to the cli [12:36] nhak: why wouldn't they do the same thing? [12:36] can some one walk me through http://wiki.debian.org/X-Fi page. ihave no sound aand I need to fix it>I'm pretty sure i ahve the right page.I just have no clue really about cli and need some questions answered [12:36] nhak: icon launches whatever its set to launch.. should be the same if they run the same command [12:36] in general both should result in the execution of /usr/bin/eclipse [12:36] nhak: also the icon is maybe not calling eclipse directly but a wrapper which is setting some options like path and so on [12:36] pmg0421: there may be some more UBUNTu specific wiki/forums on that card. Debian is not exactly Ubuntu [12:37] Startgaze : *Iron ain't yummy* [12:37] o_0 [12:37] Dr wills I've been looking all over for days thats my best lead lol [12:37] (*_*) [12:37] maidai, it looks the same as Chrome (Chromium, to be precise) [12:37] ah ok but in terminal the enviroment variables are also set, so may be the program can "see" those variables [12:38] but a program started by launching icons may be not === solow is now known as solow[afk] [12:38] pmg0421: no idea - i gave up on Creative cards aftger the x-fi disaster. So havent ever tried one. I imagine theres some mention of them in the ubuntu forums. Ive seen questions about them in here. but never tried one [12:38] nhak: depends on the variables. :) [12:38] alright, this is a totally ubuntu unrelated question. but anyone know how to make a 12 year old girl eat spinach? [12:39] benchen70: in a salad. Dont cook it.

[13:32] ya.. now u need to read some tex manuals to start with [13:32] or look for a latex example from web [13:32] @abcd1 - i am doing that [13:32] copy paste it here.. n compile using f1 [13:32] y is my cpu peaking i only have a terminal with irssi running [13:32] jcrawford: last i tried to get a Bluetooth Headset working.. it dident work :( theres aparently some work needed in that area of Linux. :( [13:33] f1 compiles to dvi file [13:33] gnaruag: German or English? [13:33] meowbuntu: ah [13:33] n a pdf is ready in the directory [13:33] from terminal use pdflatex to compile if u run in terminall [13:33] Dr_Willis, :( thanks for the tip === farner_ is now known as farner [13:34] meowbuntu: (h)top should be able to show you what process is using your CPU (or the similar GNOME/KDE tools) [13:34] abcd1: Texmaker lets you compile directly to pdf via one click ^^ [13:34] jcrawford: yep. there was some audio-codec/method/thinggie that the headsets needed that i never could get working right. [13:34] ya.. but i asked him to try with winefish [13:34] he is a newbee.. :) [13:35] well... i dont really like winefish... Texmaker seems to be easier to use. [13:35] true.. [13:35] pls how do u open a link in a new tab when browsing wt lynx? === Justin__ is now known as Petro850 [13:35] lynx has tabs? [13:35] @Solar_flare: Is Texlive itself a IDE ? [13:35] ddavids_, lynx doesnt have tabs, but elinks does [13:35] gnaruag: No. [13:36] gnaruag: It's just the packages which you need to do the real stuff. [13:36] !texmaker [13:37] can i connect a channel from swiftkit? [13:37] throughnothing: thanks, how do i do it on elinks? [13:37] ddavids_, "t" [13:37] guys, im just about to sign up for a VPS with Ubuntu 9.04 Minimal from my webhosting, im new to remotely logging so is there any advice you can give? The commandline might give me hassle, what software would you recommend for connecting in? Webmin has been mentioned but what about a VNC? [13:37] how to get screensaver similar to mac in linux [13:37] mac has a news screensaver [13:37] I am using Xchat , & i open 6 channels every time , so is there any way to automate all this [13:38] Andy-at-home: ubuntu 9.04 ???? [13:38] throughnothing: thanks... [13:38] gnaruag, sure, just right click and auto join on start up [13:38] Andy-at-home, webmin isn't a good answer anymore. I'd just use some good ssh and logics. [13:38] gnaruag, u can right click on each channel and click "auto join" [13:38] how to reactivate the grub menu after a windows instalation? [13:38] so it says, really old version? [13:38] hi there, i just downloaded the install disc for karmic koala, but the only option that "works" in the boot menu is "boot from first hard disk" -- all other options cause the cd to spin up, and then nothing - no error or any other kind of message. not even "check disc for errors" accomplishes anything. [13:38] indus: ive not noticd any for linux. I Think i saw a similer thing that used firefox ages via a plugin ago. But not looked into it in ages [13:38] seemed to be proxy problems [13:38] ya this is too bad [13:38] Hi All I have problem with wine and graphic resolution [13:38] dole: boot into ubuntu and in terminal update-grub [13:39] SpaceGhostC2C, im aware of ssh but what is logics? [13:39] Please help if you can. Runnin 9.10 (386) w/ nVidia 185 drivers & installed a kernel update this morning, rebooted as instructed. Machine reboots->username screen ->password sreen then the ubuntu logo and progress bar vanish leaving only the login screen background on the screen. Worked with 2 folks here this morning and did verify that my video settings are Ok. I'm on my second machine which I have also already taken the same upda [13:39] we cant have those 3d screensavers like in windows? [13:39] then everything should be allright [13:39] ddavids_, http://edulinux.homeunix.org/elinks/ for more info [13:39] whats wrong with Ubuntu 9.04? [13:39] Andy-at-home, it's the part where you think clearly. [13:39] should i re-download the KK iso and waste another cd? [13:39] Andy-at-home, nothing, they're just bleeding edge people. [13:39] ah k [13:39] how can i boot into ubuntu without the grub? [13:39] indus: there are 3d screensavers in the gnome screensavers and xscreensavers packages [13:39] As the calendarserver package is broken in 9.10 and I don't like davical, are there any other caldav servers that I can use on ubuntu 9.10? [13:39] or is there a known issue with the KK boot disc? [13:39] grundling82: first thing did you test the .iso file after downloading it with a checksum [13:39] dole: use live cd? [13:40] Andy-at-home, you know you can use ssh to forward X, right? Just send a single application, but it's sorta slow. [13:40] Dr_Willis, nah not those crappy ones, like the ones with animal life etc you see those ads everywhere [13:40] dole: Out there on google are thousands of tutorials how to reinstlal grub loader or repair it. just google it. [13:40] oke, i have a live cd....how to boot into ubuntu? [13:40] yeah ive read a bit on that [13:40] hmm no i didn't let me do that googlin for an md5 chksum program for windows [13:40] grundling82: also from teh cd boot choose teh option check disk for errors [13:40] im really just wanting a GUI, VNC the best for that? [13:40] dole: boot onto live cd [13:41] Andy-at-home, it won't be fast, but sure. [13:41] http://www.dreiviertelkunst.de/index.php?page=ubuntu-on-my-laptop I had 6 displays and somehow managed to fix it and install 195 drivers, but Now I have 6 displays when I run games fullscreen through wine and dunno how to fix that [13:41] hi, i'm a beginner. [13:41] Andy-at-home, I'd use ssh with vnc, for good encryption, but whatever. [13:41] grundling82: if the .iso has a bad checksum its no good. if the cd has not coppyed properly or made from a bad .iso then it will also be no good [13:41] Andy-at-home: I think you can tunnel X-Sessions via ssh [13:41] meowbuntu: i already said, that option does absolutely nothing [13:41] it pauses for a few seconds, and then returns me to the menu [13:41] SpaceGhostC2C, thanks [13:42] Why does Ubuntu 8.04 not boot after a kernel upgrade? I get grub error 11: Unrecognised device string. I understand I am using grub 0.97. All the menu.lst entries have been changed from (hd0,5) and /dev/sda6 to UUIDs. Dont UUIDs work properly on Ubuntus grub 0.97. I asked in #grub but they only support grub 2 and they said this is an Ubuntu specific patch of grub legacy [13:42] Andy-at-home, for sure. When you get it, if you have problems, let me know. [13:42] meowbuntu: ah [13:42] Andy-at-home: vnc gives you a full desktop. but it can be slow. [13:42] where is the checksum listed I can't find it on the download page? [13:42] ill try it out and see if its usable [13:42] grundling82, for what? [13:43] Andy-at-home: VNC is nice, but I would use it over the net. There the lag is much to high to work with a tunneled desktop. but in local lan it works pretty well. [13:43] bah, the link is buried in the how-to [13:43] lame [13:43] Ok in myth tv frontend settings I have: [13:43] audio output: alsa:hdmi [13:43] passtrough device: alsa hdmi [13:43] max audio:stereo [13:43] upmix passive [13:43] Guest85524: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[14:20] soreau, here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/388974/ everything went nuts with that command [14:21] Dr_Willis : how do i do it on a file!!! [14:21] user1_: ive never tried it on a file. I would think the file command on each file thats been revoered would show one thats a actual fileysstem file === warriorforgod is now known as Guest96303 [14:22] jovenrise: Ok, I assume you tried to install fglrx the proprietary driver? If so, how did you do this? [14:22] user1_: id imagine a wubi 'installed drive' file would also be rather large. [14:23] Dr_Willis : the file command shows "RestorePointSize: data" where RestorePOintSize is the filename of just 8 bytes [14:23] it seems many packages on ubuntu are removed , which packages should be installed to have ubuntu boots well [14:23] user1_: i doubt if thats the right file then.. see what else is there [14:23] soreau, I downloaded a file called ati-driver-installer-10-2-x86.x86_64.run [14:24] boots well? vs not booting at all? :) [14:24] Dr_Willis : it has a folder named _restore{6B6D80B3-42EE-48CB-8C94-A88B9D93DB27} and has a lot of dirs like RP1 RP2 and so on with some text files in each [14:24] user1_: look in there see if one seems very big. [14:24] hello everybody [14:24] Dr_Willis : nope [14:25] jovenrise: Look in /usr/share/ati/ for an uninstall script. Run it to attempt to undo whatever it did, then completely reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx and libgl1-mesa-dri packages [14:25] soreau, ok! brb! [14:25] The ubuntu9.10 freezes occasionally while browsing Internet. Press [Num Lock] – LED is not on/off. Ctrl+Alt+F2/F3 no response. I have to press hard reset to reboot the PC. === dreamy_ is now known as _Dreamy [14:25] any solution for that !! :-( [14:25] Dr_Willis : but once i faced a similar situation and somewhere i got a script which goes to filesystem and get bits and pieces into serially named folders. even if that's done i would be well off [14:26] user1_: if thres nothing even remotely the proper size.. well.. what are you going to try it on? :) [14:26] user1_: last i looked into wubi the 'drive it installed to' was a single large file. a disk image sort of file [14:27] how do I connect to a ubuntu computer via VNC and WAN?? [14:27] Dr_Willis : i think RestorePointSize suggest something there's something beneath it [14:27] user1_: i was thinking thats a Windows 'restore point' - not any windows 'rescued/reovered/lost+found' direcctory [14:28] f_mulder: vncviewer ip.of.remote.box normally after running a vncserver on remotebox [14:28] Dr_Willis : exactly. but how to recover from it else it would be meaningless. [14:28] http://pastie.org/855573 < -- what is this and why don't i see this file in natilus ? [14:28] have you seen the Mist? [14:28] user1_: IF you find it. you can mount it via the loopback feature of mount - similer to how you woulkd do it with an iso file. [14:29] user1_: at least ive heard of that being done [14:29] it seems many packages on ubuntu are removed , which packages should be installed to have ubuntu boots well ; in other what are essential packages for boot/working ubuntu proper ? [14:29] dehqan: how did they get removed? [14:29] soreau, I'm done, should I reboot? [14:29] Dr_Willis: apt-get [14:30] jovenrise: Possibly not.. pastebin the output of glxinfo now [14:30] dehqan: well if youve just randomly removed a lot of packages.. You could start with reinstlaling 'ubuntu-desktop' i guess [14:30] soreau, http://paste.ubuntu.com/388982/ there it is [14:31] hey, do you know if it's possible to use compiz with the nouveau driver in lucid ?

At one moment I didn't even have display and had to do some crazy things in the terminal while the computer booted up with ctrl+alt+f2 [14:34] obiect: its not too hard to do.. dont make a typo or you can delete the wrong hd.

Thanks a lot again. I gotta go! See ya around! [14:38] in cheese i can't edit its properties [14:38] user1_: never noticed or tried.. and since you are using WUBI. well... that throws another wrench into things.. IF you find the HD image file. then you can try to do stuff with it.. If you cant find it.. well. not a lot you can do. [14:38] user1_: one of the many reasons i suggst peopl never use wubi. [14:39] out of curiosity, how do you determine the value of bs (when using dd)? it's said usually a power of 2 and higher than 512, but it's vague. [14:40] Здрасьте?

[15:10] mythbackend here is an example when start up completes http://pastebin.com/J8Zvs2Ag [15:11] Harish: No idea. Its crashing hard. proberly a video driver issue. does it do it only on flash sites for example? [15:11] no [15:11] I upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 and this has happened [15:11] eppsy: You coudl have a look into System/Preferences-> Autostart (or something like that, I'm using the german version) [15:11] epssy: you may want to check the #mythbuntu channel also [15:11] .join #haml [15:11] lol [15:12] hi, does anyone know how to do to know which Socket uses? I tried cat /proc/cpuinfo but I can't find this information. [15:12] which Socket my CPU uses [15:12] Dr_willis , can i switch to Ubuntu < 9.x version [15:12] daedalus__, none of them appear in those options, I have looked before (checking again now) [15:12] Harish: this is linux.. you can do whatever you want.. No idea what that will fix however. [15:13] epssy: I cannot view whatever you left under pastebin (Unknown pase-id) [15:13] :) what a answer ? [15:13] Harish: if its always crashing with the browser.. try a differnt user, try a differnet browser. [15:14] daedalus__, my mistake; http://pastebin.com/vG11nE0S [15:14] Harish: then again.it could be a ram issue and you only notice it because the briwser is using a lot of ram [15:14] Dr not only browser but also other things [15:14] hi, some one can help to configure amavisd-new + postfix on ubuntu? [15:14] i installed vlc from terminal, is it possible now to get vlc installation file to my fren from my system?? where can i find that? [15:15] Harish: then that points to a ram or video driver issue. [15:15] How to I save the EDID that X Windows uses ? I am using a KVM box for my monitors. [15:15] m using 1GB ram [15:15] Harish: and you should clarify your question to state its not just in a browser then. [15:15] Harish: so you are using 1 gb of ram.. You COULD have some bad memory. try the memtest options at boot to check it. [15:15] hi, does anyone know what I have do do to know which Socket my CPU uses? I tried cat /proc/cpuinfo but I can't find this information. [15:16] Harish: also use a live cd - and see if it crashes there also [15:16] no there is no problem [15:16] claudiuM1, if you enter the cpu information from cpuinfo in to google you will find your socket type [15:16] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 03) [15:16] claudiuM1, find your motherboard description and search for that [15:17] claudiuM1 in a terminal sudo lshw | more space bar to scroll down... look for the cpu info its up top [15:17] ok thanks [15:17] k [15:17] m trying new browser, i will let u know [15:17] k [15:18] I renamed that 30_os_probe file to 09 so that Windows would appear first in grub2's menu, but whenever these files get updated it re-ceated the 30_os_probe file while leaving the 09 one outdated.... the updater also fails to run update-grub and instead attempts to update grub.cfg manually... and fails. Is there any way to fix this so its all updated automatically while leaving windows the top choice? [15:18] bye Dr_Willis Winner Never Quits & Quitter never Wins [15:19] is there any way to change the order of the bootlist in GRUB so that the default OS is windows and not Ubuntu? [15:19] Also, is it possible to JUST have the Windows and Ubuntu choices, no ubuntu recovery, memtest, alteranate(older) kernels for ubuntu, etc in the grub menu? [15:19] major_redhat: thats what I JUST talked about... problem is updated revert it back [15:19] updates* [15:19] hello; the amd64 iso - is that only for amd 64bit machines, or intel 64bit machines as well? [15:19] epssy: Sry, I'm afraid that I cannot help you with this issue. thought it would be a mere simple problem with a misconfiguration. Such system things like upstart and the like are beyond my current state of knowledge... :( [15:19] haven't had much luck trying to install i386 on my 64bit core duo - get an "invalid kernel" error [15:19] smuikas: every 64bit system. [15:19] major_redhat: are you on grub2 or legacy grub? [15:20] k, thanks [15:20] Cyber_Akuma: i just got in the irc room [15:20] daedalus__, they seem to be beyond every ones! ubuntu appears to have just slapped in upstart without any documentation or knowledge base behind it. rather annoying [15:20] Cyber_Akuma: legacy [15:20] smuikas: Im running the 64bit amd on an intel core 2 duo [15:20] Cyber_Akuma: i recall some forums on the topic of moving windows to the top and cleaning the thing up. but i never looked at them much [15:20] thankya [15:20] Am i correct: if i wrote a program, to be able to run it from the command line by just using that programs name, the program would need to be in /bin or /usr/bin correct? [15:20] I know major, but I checked and you didn't join after you said that [15:20] Just running "programname" as opposed to "/location/to/programname" [15:20] meowsus: or somewher in your default PATH [15:20] meowsus: yes. or you set an alias. [15:20] Anyway, in /boot/grub there will be a file called menu.lst [15:20] !path [15:21] Just move the Windows option to above the ubuntu option [15:21] you will need admin access to edit this file [15:21] sudo access then? [15:21] epssy: So you don't even know, where this mythbackend is coming from? [15:21] yeah [15:21] so it would be something like sudo gedit boot/grub/menu.lst? [15:21] you can just do sudo nautilus and open that file from the file browser or sudo gedit to open the file diting program and nagivate to the file from there === SpaceGhostC2C is now known as C2CGhostSpace [15:22] daedalus__, that is correct. I've removed the instances in init.d and the rc sections leaving me to believe this is upstart, I cannot think of anything else [15:22] yeah [15:22] Dr_Willis: so i could set up a directory in my home directory and tell ubuntu to look there for any commands? [15:22] Well, you would need to be in root first [15:22] epssy: upstart starts things in /etc/init/ you looked in there? [15:22] sudo su gedit? [15:22] or am i missing somehting [15:22] I meant the root directory [15:22] Unless your boot partition was installed somewhere other than ubuntu's partition [15:22] meowsus: thats trivial.. make a 'bin' directory and it will be seen and added by the default shell startup scripts. :) [15:22] Dr_Willis, yes, there is no reference to mythbackend there any more. if that is the case these processes are starting some crazy way :/ [15:22] nope dual boot [15:23] meowsus: keep your programs in there [15:23] Sorry if im confusing you, I am not that good with linux yet, bnut I have done a lot of modifications to grub [15:23] i wanted to have GRUB to be installed to my 4 gig SD card but i used the alternate installer and didnt see the option [15:23] But yeah, thats where the file is [15:23] Dr_Willis: oh. So if i create /home/name/bin at system startup that will be registered automatically as an applications directory? [15:23] you just need to edit it [15:23] no thats ok [15:23] epssy: ive not useed mythtv in ages. the #mythbuntu guys may have some ideas we are missung [15:23] SD card? Why on there? [15:23] im just as good / bad with linux even tho ive used it since 07 [15:24] meowsus: yes. its added to the default path.. see the .bashrc and .bash_profile config files. [15:24] because it just sits there [15:24] hh, same here [15:24] ive been TRYING to use it since 2007 [15:24] but linux hates my desktop [15:24] Dr_Willis, thanks [15:24] err, my laptop [15:24] Not all machines can boot from the SD card slots. [15:24] and my laptop's hardware hates linux :( [15:24] ive used it on my imac since 07 [15:24] From 7.04 to 9.10 [15:25] Dr_Willis: yeah my sister's HP refuses to even get past bios with a sd card inserted [15:25] Only ONE version of ubuntu *8.10 IIRC) EVER supported my gpu [15:25] im still using 9.04 because of the 15 second boot time form bootchart [15:25] the rest do not, and from what it looks like, will never support it ever again [15:25] :( [15:25] whats your gpu? [15:25] Radeon X1200 === C2CGhostSpace is now known as SpaceGhostC2C [15:25] theres a fix for that somewhere in the forums [15:25] Cyber_Akuma, then you need to install the ati binary drivers [15:25] Apparently the driver is incomptabiel with the new version of xorg that 9.04 and above use [15:26] and ati said they will no longer update that drivers [15:26] it enables the legacy drivers or somethign like that [15:26] yep ATI is true [15:26] Cyber_Akuma, have you tried 10.04? [15:26] isnt that a beta atm? [15:26] not on my t400 yet [15:26] Cyber_Akuma, yeah, but I'm on it right now... it's the only version that supports my new core i5 laptop [15:26] im hoping my friend comes through with his lappy [15:27] This is old hardware, not new === solow is now known as wolos [15:27] Cyber_Akuma, still [15:27] How do I save a monitor EDID for use with a KVM box ( linux can't get it throught the box) ? [15:27] The issue is that the driver is too outdated to work in the new xorg [15:27] even though im used to dualbooting with a 160 gig hard drive [15:27] Adn ati don't want to update it to try to force people to upgrade [15:27] Oh i'll upgrade all right.... to nvidia [15:27] Shame you can't replace the gpu on a laptop === wolos is now known as solow [15:28] Cyber_Akuma: im looking for that fix that i used to re-enable my X1600 on my imac [15:28] Macs used those kind of cards too? [15:28] epssy: Maybe you could check the filelist under System-> Administration -> Synaptic Package Adminsitration. Maybe there is a file that could help you solving your issue. [15:28] Cyber_Akuma: you can upgrade but parts are insanely hard to find and compatibility is low, google MXM cards [15:28] Cyber_Akuma, I only use NVidia and Intel's GPU's myself [15:28] hi, new ubuntu user here - i installed UNR 9.10 on my Vaio TR5 - the launcher menu on the desktop does not react to any input - any ideas? [15:28] Mine has intel graphics [15:28] yep - intel core duo, early 2006 [15:28] solid_liquid: the laptop I was planning to get was intel/nvidia [15:28] 1.83 ghz, 2gig RAM, 160gig hd [15:28] but it was a black friday deal and got sold out, so I got the next best one, which was amd and ati [15:29] Cyber_Akuma, that should work fine I bet [15:29] Cyber_Akuma: sorry, thought you had a ati card. soz [15:29] oh ouch [15:29] I should have spring for the one just above that one, which was intel/nvidia [15:29] :( [15:29] and my current machine, lenovo t400, has ATI Radeon 3450 256mb [15:29] this piece of trash has given me nothing but truble [15:29] especially the eifi [15:29] Cyber_Akuma, mine has the GPU in the same chip package as the processor, which is why only 10.04 supports it [15:29] wifi* [15:29] Cyber_Akuma: yeah i get the feeling that nvidia is much more linux friendly than ATI [15:29] daedalus__, Dr_Willis, /etc/init/ has the config that has been causing my issues! thank you Dr_Willis. I assumed upstart was talking about /etc/init.d instead. thanks for your help :) [15:30] I wish you could build a laptop liek you could build a desktop :( [15:30] epssy: :) init.d uses by sysv.. upstart uses 'init' :) gotta love Similer names [15:30] indeed :P [15:30] Anyway, I guess I can try the 10.04 cd [15:30] in livecd mode... but how can I tell if its working? [15:30] hi can some one help me to use my facebook on my pidgin ? [15:31] Oh... and can anyone answer my grub2 question? XD [15:31] major_redhat, basically, even though ATI claims they take it very seriously and the son of one of the ATI engineers who writes their Linux driver used to hang out here [15:31] It makes me annoyed that all the good gaming laptops I find or even just above mid-range are ati based [15:32] Sure, its ATI HD, which is probably a decent card, but I prefer intel/nvidia based [15:32] Cyber_Akuma, You can build a laptop like you can build a desktop... if you start with one of these: http://home.iae.nl/users/pb0aia/cm/compaq1.jpg [15:32] compaq? I thought hp bought them out? [15:32] Cyber_Akuma, soon gaming laptops will include nvidia 330/350 cards I believe, in the next month or two [15:32] ... [15:32] oh har har [15:32] Cyber_Akuma, they still use the name though [15:32] >.< [15:32] Cyber_Akuma: buy CAD/CAM nvidia cuda specialist laptops, not sure if you can actually use cuda to the full potential though [15:33] Even the i3/5 based laptops are all ati or intel graphics [15:33] >.< [15:33] sorry - firewall was blocking mirc, been a while since I've used it [15:33] I found a sub-$600 laptop that was i5, 4 gigs fam, 500gb hdd, evne had a blu-ray drive... but has an ATI HD card [15:33] err [15:33] sub-$800 [15:33] Cyber_Akuma, mine's intel... but I remember seeing nvidia ones too (I won't buy ati) [15:34] Well problem is I coulden't find any other laptop that has both blu-ray and a decent gpu for $800 or less [15:34] Guys i have a situation i updated my ubuntu 9.10 after fresh install it updated latest kernel but after reboot i cant see it?

[15:35] we;re volunteen to support about Ubuntu now [15:35] Cyber_Akuma: wait ion2 will be released soon so low end hd video capable laptops will start rolling out [15:35] well, whenever i try to load up the graphical install the screen is really garbled [15:35] Cyber correct [15:35] like the horizontal sync is messed up [15:35] epssy: the new alienware laptop has 2 video cards. :) that may be a nightmare for linux [15:35] kitt: screen artifacts? [15:35] no artifacts, just rolling bands [15:36] Cyber_Akuma correct [15:36] kitt: have tou tried the alternate cd? [15:36] Dr_Willis, SLI works on desktop Linux [15:36] solid_liquid: this is not a SLI setup. it has one High Power Video for games.. and a low power one for when you are not gaming [15:36] yeah, that worked but halted halfway through because of some kind of error === dreamy_ is now known as _dreamy [15:36] solid_liquid: no idea how it changes btween the 2 :) [15:37] so i have tried to use three other difrent distros, mint, gos and easeypeasey [15:37] sorry sorry [15:37] solid_liquid: at least thats what the Alienware website says about the thing.. sort of a neat trick.

[15:38] Dr_Willis, oh, I think I read something about that switch happening in hardware [15:38] haven't gone into install, i tyried them as live cd's and all have the same rolling issue, which is obviously my screen not being recognised or something [15:38] in the root directory [15:38] there should be a boot folder [15:38] all your kernels will be there [15:38] do you know what the version number of the new kernel is? [15:39] Cyber_Akuma yes give a sec [15:39] buit i can't work out how to alter the res properly [15:39] solid_liquid: yea. its a neat idea. id hope you dont have to reboot to change video cards its using. :) [15:39] hi [15:39] 2.6.31.20 [15:39] hello every body.. how much swap space would be better with an 3 gibs of ram please help [15:39] Dr_Willis, heh, right?

[15:41] Cyber_Akuma well at promt it shows 1.97 [15:42] krishna: history? Or you mean 'recent documents' ? [15:42] menu.lst is for the old grub, the new one uses grub.cfg [15:42] my front mic doesn't work after waking up from hibernate [15:42] Cyber_Akuma i have both [15:42] Dr_Willis, yes.

[15:45] ranjan: but if you plan on putting your system into standby or hibernation or something then i would go with the 3 gigs for swap [15:45] yes [15:45] abdelrahman: personally i find hibernate not worth the effort [15:46] Adminas then check grub.cfg that the new kernel is there [15:46] Dr_Willis : its a laptop :S [15:46] major_redhat:: ok thanks for this valuable information [15:46] Dr_Willis : it is suppose to hibernate [15:46] can someone help me put my xserver back to normal? i rebooted and it has removed all window borders, I cannot see the xterm text and I cannot move windows around my desktop [15:47] major_redhat: is there a difference between standby and hibernation?

[15:49] Cyber_Akuma: which is why it tends to take along time to do so because its writing form the hard drive to the RAM [15:49] All I know is that in windows, sleep puts it in lower power mode but all the memory is stil in ram, while hibernate basically performs a "save state" of the system to a hibernate file that is as big as your ram and shuts down the system completely [15:49] Whats standbuy? [15:49] Cyber_Akuma: although im 85% postitive im correct [15:49] standby* [15:49] abdelrahman: i find hibernation less and less usefull..

[18:12] anyway, I'm here because I've got a compiz problem with my new laptop and 9.10. Everything works, except for any action triggered by an edge click. Mousing over an edge (say with dragging windows to new cube faces) works fine, but actually clicking on the screen sides doesn't trigger. sorry if this is a re-send, my irc broke [18:13] M25: what card is it ?

I installed karmic beta on an Aspire One 110 a while ago but it took about 45 sec [18:18] ikonia: compiz works great, ATI proprietary drivers, Mobility Radeon 4570. Edge detection works, I can drag windows to other cube faces/workspaces, but any event triggered by clicking on an edge doesn't happen [18:18] M25: I suspect that's just a bug with the drivers/compiz [18:18] cousteau: are you still using #karmic #beta¿ update [18:19] I've just installed moblin on it now, but it has very little packages [18:19] M25, i have radeon 4650, all works [18:19] ikonia: yeah, that's what I figured, but I've experienced it on secondary accounts on other computers, not able to fix there either === puppy_man is now known as kgs [18:19] cousteau: moblin or ubuntu-moblin¿ === dreamy_ is now known as _dreamy [18:20] xangua: the netbook stopped working before karmic final was released and I had to carry it to the guarantee service [18:20] which formatted it and put back Linpus >:( [18:20] why cant I get my ssh server to work?

[18:34] ksbalaji, good luck! btw, you can also use a file instaed of a partition, dd if=/dev/zero of=/file bs=1000000 count=200 makes 200MB for example, fdisk the file etc, enrypt and mount loopback - its a bit more complicated than using a partition directly but works the same [18:34] Icoonia Dra åt helvete din jävla slyna!!! [18:34] ActionParsnip: Just for good measure, I removed all groups for this account. Sound still plays [18:34] ksbalaji encryption is at partition level, not folder, anyway you can make a file act like a partition, making a filesystem in it, and then mount it in any folder [18:35] Vegar_: really? Damn thought that would cover the bases [18:35] blakkhein: my synaptic shows that subversion is installed. how do i pull the code from svn?

[18:44] na i give up ubuntu hard as Red Hat or Gentoo sometimes, thanks anyways ActionParsnip :) [18:44] i dont need midori that bad [18:45] random: in the address bar type: smb://host/share ,replace host with the win7 hostname and share as the folders share name you set up [18:45] Seanbrystone: not as hard as gentoo by a long way dude [18:45] random, in windows, type ipconfig, and see what your IP address is, then in ubuntu, click Places > Connect to server en type the IP address [18:46] Stargaze: or you could type in ifconfig i believe [18:46] major_redhat, in windows, it's ipconfig [18:46] Stargaze, yeah but in linux / unix its ifconfig [18:46] I'll try it out guys thanks. [18:47] yes, but he wants to connect to windows, no? [18:47] Yes but we want the ip of the windows system to connect to [18:47] to windows from linux [18:47] i know what you gusy mean its all good [18:47] Stargaze: i wasnt really paying attention - i just saw something and i suggested the ifconfig [18:47] So running ipconfig on the windows side will give him/her what s/he needs [18:47] Stargaze: sorry for any confusion i might have caused [18:47] hi every one [18:48] !hi | hidensoft [18:48] hidensoft: 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! [18:48] i trying to install photoshop cs3 with wine [18:48] !appdb | hidensoft [18:48] hidensoft: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [18:48] but i got error anyway [18:48] please give me second to speak ! [18:48] I would like to have two putty terminals open to my ubuntu server and log on with the same username/password. How may I accomplish this. It wont allow the second one "access denied". [18:48] i have this question [18:48] does wubi ubuntu have it's own #channel ? [18:49] Hidensoft: not all apps work and not all versions work. The appdb will help. You may also benefit from the wine ppa [18:49] ng0n, nope (personally i think it should, but others disagree) [18:49] Z: thanks. [18:49] ubuntu have another soft wear like wine ? [18:49] hidensoft, try Crossover [18:49] Z: agree [18:49] hidensoft: no; thereare two wine derivatives [18:49] ubuntu 9.10 freezes my laptop with no reason, just at random. 9.04 used to run fine. Ideas? [18:50] Hidensoft: 2 paid for ones come to mind, crossoveroffice and cedega [18:50] Z: unique problems when running on NTFS file system [18:50] Z: often NOT ubuntu issues per se === fritz_ is now known as N3YDF [18:52] i find Crossover but i cant find cedega on the web [18:53] hidensoft: why do you want cedega? [18:53] Hidensoft: 2 paid for ones come to mind, crossoveroffice and cedega [18:54] i need softwear like WINE [18:54] How may I have multiple login sessions with the same username/password via putty? [18:54] hidensoft: crossover is much nicer than cedega [18:54] choose crossover :) [18:54] i think cedega is for games [18:54] hm [18:54] ok [18:54] i trying now [18:55] cedega: mostly closed source, snapshot of wine taken from before they changed to LGPL, bad customer support, generally bad :( [18:55] crossover: friendly, open source, good customer support [18:55] a handy guide to crossover / cedega :P [18:56] Azelphur: open source? didn't know [18:56] but it's also commercial, right? [18:56] cousteau: yea crossover is very open source, they employ most of the wine developers. [18:56] cousteau: yea, it's commercial support for wine basically [19:00] how to use /home in new ubuntu if it be selected will not be formated ? [19:00] dehqan: you can tell the installer to NOT format it [19:01] I normally run off a sata drive mounted as sda. I just connected a new ATA drive as a slave. Suddenly when I log in ubuntu says my /home/ is missing. === lynx is now known as Guest5882 [19:01] anyone have an opinion about dropbox? [19:01] I think the drives were renamed, the numbers, or soemthing. But I can't get in to tell.

[19:02] jiohdi, in my opinion way better [19:02] ubuntu one is easy to use and is good for saving documents or reports [19:03] I have had problems with ubuntu one updating across several computers [19:03] jiohdi: I do to. Ubuntu One messes with the modification times, and then confuses itself [19:04] Stargaze, i'm still having problems connect, it seems like its not accepting my password even tho it's write [19:04] Stargaze, right* [19:04] jiohdi, I have had no issues with dropbox..its clean simple and web accessible [19:05] coz_: I am sold :) [19:05] :) [19:05] any idea who is behind dropbox? [19:05] jiohdi, I talked with the creators some time ago but no I dont remember [19:05] a big company likely to be around for a while:? [19:06] is Ubuntu any good? [19:06] any suggestions on good audio/music player? [19:06] jiohdi, if they play it smart they can give ubuntu one some lessons also :) [19:06] gigasoft: depends on what you want to do and how old your system :) [19:06] gigasoft: yeah it's good. [19:06] gigasoft, ubuntu is cool...nice...and easy to use [19:06] widnows rules!

Otherwise leave, and come back when you get smarter. [19:08] ciao [19:08] windows does rule.... for now.... but no dictator lasts for ever [19:08] can anyone help with connect through lan to a comp with windows7? [19:08] Jules, ciao...come sta?

[19:09] jiohdi: it's more of a communism :-) [19:09] chetnick, i do that and it has 3 field in a box pop up, 2 are filled last is a pass, i type the pass and it just pops the box up again [19:09] chetnick: communism treats the hard working like the lazy... and fails... ubuntu is not like that :) [19:09] coz_, sai per caso come aggiungere un programma su application? [19:10] chetnick: linux is something communism will never be.... successful and thriving [19:10] jiohdi: true. [19:10] Jules, do you know any english? [19:10] jiohdi: i was refering to idea, not what actually happend in practice. [19:10] jiohdi: but i agree with you. [19:11] Jules, quale programma? [19:11] chetnick: the idea of communism cannot work in reality, but linux can and does so it must be something different :) [19:11] random: did you enable printer and file sharing on windows? [19:11] random: open the required firewall ports? [19:11] chetnick, firewalls are off, [19:11] maybe the communists can learn something from it [19:11] jiohdi: totally true. [19:11] chetnick, if i was on win7 on this comp i could connect [19:12] how do I check how much memory I have on my slice? [19:12] Jules, dovrebbe andare al #ubuntu-it per un migliore supporto [19:12] jiohdi: it's not the communists, it's the people. [19:13] random: so you were able to successfuly connect from windows, but can't do it from Ubuntu, correct? [19:13] chetnick, right === geniv_ is now known as geniv [19:14] my server is swapping [19:15] can someone help me with trying to set up a network printer via the command line on ubuntu? [19:15] linolino: free? [19:15] random: come on private, i need you to explain to me how are you trying to do this. [19:15] how come its swapping [19:15] its hella slow ..

Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [19:16] i copied /etc/cups/printers.conf from one ubuntu machine that i can print from over to another ubuntu machine (headless server) and apt-get installed cups, but if i try lpr filename it doesn't print. checking lpc it looks like i have entries in the "spool area", but i'm not sure what that means [19:17] I'm trying to set it up so users authenticate using radius. What's the typical way to do this, if any? radiusclient1? I have a Cisco ACS I want to authenticate against. === toto is now known as Guest80742 [19:18] hi guys. i ve installed a nice up to date and fine tuned (with all apps needed) ubuntu. [19:18] fourdfourm: do you want your ubuntu machine to authenticate against it, or external devices ? [19:19] howdy folks, I am having trouble getting ALSA working - googling shows a bunch of forums posts that half address my problem. I was hoping to nab some help here [19:19] davertron: spool area /var/spool/ [19:19] how can I kno the total amount of packages installed from the raw version, ust to install same thing in another machine? [19:19] Can I install several versions of ubuntu on different partitions and have them all use the same swap partition? [19:19] erUSUL: any idea what i can check to see why things aren't actually printing? [19:19] Guest80742: get a clean machine and do a dpkg -l | wc -l, then do it on your machine and count the difference [19:19] ikonia: The ubuntu machine. [19:20] alsaconf command is not found, and running alsamixer gives me alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory [19:20] davertron: /var/log/cups/error_log ? and other logs there [19:20] fourdfourm: you need to use something like the openradia client and going pam to use it [19:20] mozmck: just edit your fstab appropriately. I suggest avoiding UUIDs for swap [19:20] i don't have /var/log/cups [19:20] I heard the new ubuntu themes are available on the 10.04 alphas. Is there anyway to try them on 9.10_ === xnt14[school] is now known as xnt14 [19:21] Kamokow: no [19:21] ikonia: this will return the number of lines... [19:21] ChogyDan: why fstab? This would be complete installs from CD. Do you mean not use UUIDs in grub? [19:21] ikonia: Okay, thanks. [19:21] i need the packs [19:21] Guest80742: yes, and each package is a line [19:21] Can anyone help me with configuring ALSA? It doesn't seem to have installed correctly [19:21] ah, looks like i have "cupsys-client" installed...do i also need "cupsys" installed to print? [19:22] maybe "cupsys-client" is only for printing to a print server or something? [19:22] Where is the channel for beginners? [19:22] davertron: I think so. [19:22] magnap: you're in ti [19:22] it [19:22] Oh! [19:23] mozmck: no, I meant fstab, but you handle the fstab after everything is installed. Just use manual partitioning, and make sure the swap partition is set to be "used as" swap. no mount point === beto is now known as []BETO[] [19:23] !details | brettins [19:23] brettins: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [19:23] davertron: is cups correctly installled and running ?? o.0?? [19:23] ikonia: well, so I know how many packages have been installed... i need their name to repeat the command...

[19:23] hola [19:23] !clone | Guest80742 [19:23] Guest80742: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [19:23] !es | MIRI [19:23] MIRI: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

Also the /proc/asound directory does not exist [19:24] so ...a whole lot of "it didn't install" [19:24] ChogyDan: thanks. I have winxp, and ubuntu 8.04 on the drive, and I left free space for another ubuntu partition. [19:24] latest version of ubuntu AFAIK [19:24] brettins: install alsaconf ? [19:24] erUSUL: that is the question [19:24] Right, apt-get install alsaconf doesn't do anything [19:24] ikonia: :D ok me stupid [19:24] k tal [19:24] davertron: can you use cups web interface to configure check cups ... [19:25] i've run the apt-ge installs that are recommended on ALSA sites [19:25] brettins: the package is something like "alsa-tools" or "alsa-utils" [19:25] no meda la gana [19:25] apt-get install alsa-utils alsa-oss is what I ran [19:25] From windows my public share shows up on my ubuntu server but when I try to connect I get "windows cannot access \\server\public" [19:25] MIRI: then speak english ; thnak you [19:25] no [19:25] well initially I ran this: apt-get install libasound2 alsa-utils alsa-oss [19:26] no tengo ganas de ablar ingles [19:26] ok???

[19:29] When I try to install from a USB pendrive, the installer hangs on a blank screen. [19:29] I'm not sure how to take the silence - is that that noone knows the answer or my question is dumb? [19:29] benkay86: I so but have not seen that error [19:29] can i go to the toist please [19:30] benkay86: I do, but it always works fine for me. Maybe your usb is bad [19:30] brettins: perhaps not everyone in the channel is looking at their screen right now [19:30] benkay86: I attempted initially to install USB, had lots of problems with blank screens like you. I tried a different program to write to to my usb drive. That seemed to work. I dont recall what it is though. Try various program to write to your usb drive. [19:30] ard: some people who were answering me before have typed since then but not responded to what I've been asking [19:30] ChogyDan: Maybe, but I should get a write error from usb-creator if that's the case. [19:31] Hi! [19:31] brettins: Give it a few and ask again, perhaps something came up [19:31] I can't left click on anything inside of flash (on any website) in firefox. It acts like I didn't click it. [19:31] okay [19:31] ciao [19:31] benkay86: why not use the boot option to check the drive anyway? I'm not sure you would get a write error... [19:31] Trying to edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf to blacklist b43 and blacklist ssb, but when I open the file it will not let me save it. How do I open this file to edit and save. [19:31] benkay86: how about booting off of an iso image itself using grub2 [19:31] Yo yo yo [19:31] Ashfire908, http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/clicking-in-flash-not-working [19:32] htre [19:32] my karmic koala fails to start the login screen and therefore let me into the desktop... basicly im left with 2 black screens with an oldschool pointer X as the cursor and nothing happens. Everythings working under the hood but the system isn't usable beyond shell - tried reinstalling x configs and reinstalling ubuntu desktop but doesn't seem to do a single thing for the machine. Any ideas? [19:32] Kutakizukari: gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf [19:32] bdheeman: Would that work? I think the initramfs needs to be tweaked from what's on the ISO to expect an iso image file instead of a physical device. [19:32] s/gksudo gedit/sudo vi [19:32] thank you [19:33] viliny: is this a clean install? [19:33] ZykoticK9, Thanks. [19:33] Blakkheim: gedit is a bit more user friendly for users ;) [19:33] Hey guys, i'm having trouble with my ALSA install. I ran apt-get install libasound2 alsa-utils alsa-oss to install it initially, but many directories and commands don't seem to be in place. "alsaconf" gives command not found, and "alsamixer" gives the message alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory. The "/proc/asound" directory that seems to be referred to does not exist. [19:34] ActionParsnip: if he's already on the commandline, why call two graphical apps from it instead of just using the terminal to edit? seems like a waste [19:34] ChogyDan no this is my week old install, 2 possible reasons it did this: 1. Updated system prior to this failed boot 2. Overclocked unsuccessfully ~5 times and ubuntu failed to boot - might have corrupted something there [19:34] ChogyDan: I would love to, but that boot option generates the same error. [19:34] benkay86: not, sure but do boot from an iso off an on, is much faster than cdrom drive and, or sticks [19:34] Blakkheim: true [19:34] viliny: ya, I would just reinstall if you can [19:36] Hey guys, i'm having trouble with my ALSA install. I ran apt-get install libasound2 alsa-utils alsa-oss to install it initially, but many directories and commands don't seem to be in place. "alsaconf" gives command not found, and "alsamixer" gives the message alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory. The "/proc/asound" directory that seems to be referred to does not exist. I tried purging a [19:36] nd then installing again but the same problems persist. [19:36] benkay86: maybe you could try just mounting it if you already have an install of ubuntu running. something like: mount -o loop /media/usb/squash.fs [19:36] Chogydan whats the least painfull way to do it? as to not lose everything? [19:36] copying my home folder to a ntfs drive on the computer but beyond that? [19:37] ChogyDan: I'm trying to install it on a friend's netbook, not my laptop. I know the image works because I've burned it to CD and installed it the old fashioned way before. [19:37] When I do gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf it gives me a blank file, when I opened it earlier there was much text. Should add my lines and save or do I need to do something else? [19:37] also, sudo mount /dev/sda -> where in there do i specify it to be ntfs filesystem? [19:37] ciao [19:37] viliny: mount the partition, not the device [19:38] blakkheim, thanks - good spot [19:38] viliny: unless you have some server programs installed, all your data will be in /home [19:38] it will keep them? [19:38] any suggestion on good music/audio player? [19:38] chetnick: mpd + ncmpcpp [19:38] From windows my public share shows up on my ubuntu server but when I try to connect I get "windows cannot access \\server\public". Can I get some help configuring /etc/samba/smb.conf? [19:38] ChogyDan, Correct me if I am wrong, but some config files are not in /home [19:39] Hey guys, i'm having trouble with my ALSA install.

[19:39] knoppies, apache server configs and the likes are not... but thats okay since it's my desktop and not my server :) [19:40] what does cp omitting directory mean? [19:40] viliny, ok. I hope it all works out in the end. [19:40] Sometimes when I click a button or something that triggers the button sound or others like that, my speakers pop quickly at the start of the sound. [19:40] viliny: it means use -r for copying directories [19:40] viliny, it failed. I had that once, I cant remember what I did to correct it. [19:40] thanks again blakkheim [19:40] knoppies: ok, I'm not an expert. I personally just backup /home [19:40] it's back-upping right now [19:40] viliny, I think rather than trying to copy the directory, I just copied the files in a directory into another directory (that already exists). [19:41] ChogyDan, nor am I, Im just curious. [19:41] is lucid lynx in any shape to be a replacement for 9.10 if i would go straight for that now that i have to reinstall?

[19:42] Anyone using any application for realtime watching of a system log? My application would be very simple. Watch the logs for a couple of messages from dhcp, and depending on the type do different tasks. [19:42] plagerism, maybe iwatch [19:42] plagerism, I was going to say conky, but I dont think thats what your after. [19:42] I'm going to go on a limb and say pulseaudio is the issue. [19:42] does anybody here use and external HD dock? i was thinking of getting one. does 9.10 have PMP support? [19:42] *out on [19:43] Have I done something offensive or noobish so that people are ignoring me? [19:43] seanbrystone, thanks I will look into iwatch [19:43] brettins, whats up?

Unfortunately we are not all experts on ALSA. [19:44] viliny: cp may be able to do it, but make sure to use the -a option as well as -r [19:44] Brettins, sorry i can't help you with that specific problem, sorry [19:44] knoppies, you mean this iwatch http://iwatch.sourceforge.net/documentation.html [19:44] -1 sorry [19:44] ChogyDan it's in the middle of copying [19:44] brettins, You could look at google and ubuntu forums, but You probably already have. [19:44] The pop only occurs with the ubuntu sounds. [19:44] plagerism, Im not the one who suggested iwatch. [19:44] Yah, I've googled many times. [19:45] plagerism, root-tail shows a specified log on the Xorg background, I use it from time to time [19:45] ChogyDan, whats the worst that can happen? i don't really need any hidden folders and such anyway [19:45] how often should I put a question in here...once every half an hour or so?

[19:45] sudo apt-get install iwatch, then man iwatch [19:45] brettins, you might have more luck with the forums. They tend to handle more complex issues more effectively. [19:45] seanbrystone_, is that not for watch filesystems? [19:45] brettings, logic can be applied -> if someone active here doesn't know the answer now - then maybe someone who DOES know gets active in say... 20 minutes? theres good odds for that right? [19:46] brettins, yea that sounds reasonable. alternativly you could pastebin your problem and say. I need help installing ALSA. Please look at for more info. [19:46] plagerism, i think it has settings for what you want to do with it, im no expert though :) [19:46] hi guys i have a question, at the bibliothèque of my university we have a pc whit ubuntu, the goal of this pc is to allow students to browsing Internet. So i have installed ubuntu and created an "administrator" user to accomplish the systems routine operations. Then i created an "user" user for all other users. Now i would like to allow generic users only to open and use firefox....i though about make the administrator user part of [19:46] the "root" group and so make all the / directort but the firefox one, readable writable and executable only by the root group.....but this does not work....how can i do??? [19:46] Red_HamsterX: All the forums show essentially a close problem but the solution involves another part of the problem... ie they say "go to your /proc/asound" direcotry...which doesn't exist for me [19:46] knoppies: thanks [19:47] viliny: yah, logic is how I got the 30 minute number :) [19:47] brettins, anytime. [19:47] seanbrystone, yea I read the description in the cache, and it appears to work with inotify to just notify when the file or filesystem was modified [19:47] hi guys, how can I make usplash to not show any boot text on the usplash theme I have set up now? [19:47] brettins, if the solution isn't already then make a new thread about the problem :) [19:48] as my dhcp server, serves 1500+ users, I know the log file will be updated quite regularily. I want something like OSSEC, but without the OSSEC [19:48] plagerism, oh ok, figures lol [19:48] viliny: makes sense. I oddly balked at that because there are a bunch of posts with similar problems and people just get told to google it. I will try it. [19:48] cool [19:49] cousteau: thanks [19:49] I want what fail2ban does for authentication fail, but more generic so that I can act on "no free leases" in the dhcp logs [19:49] is it safe to open up a .py file in gedit? [19:49] plagerism: dhcpd will deal with that [19:49] plagerism: you can tell fail2ban to scrape whatever log you want [19:50] ikonia, and then configure it to do whatever actions I want ? [19:50] olaaaaa [19:50] plagerism: within reason, yeah [19:50] !es | vladi_sevillista [19:50] vladi_sevillista: 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. [19:51] ikonia, that sounds promising [19:51] illo ai alguien [19:51] vladi_sevillista: english please [19:51] ubuntu is damaged and does not boot up ,(many packages are removed) , now , can /usr be used for new ubuntu or it is risk ? [19:51] dehqan: don't use a /usr partition from another installer [19:52] ikonia: what do you mean of another installer ? [19:52] dehqan: what is your question, I may have not understood properly [19:52] how can i make usplash to not show boot text on the theme via command-line? (not using startup manager, cause I know there an checkbox there that says 'Show text during boot') [19:53] jp--: remove quiet from boot line... should show text [19:53] ikonia: can we use /usr in new installed ubuntu , both are jaunty [19:53] mkquist, I want it to not show the boot information/services that are getting up on my usplash theme! [19:54] dehqan: use it ?? when you install ubuntu /usr gets created [19:54] i do want it themed [19:54] hey guyz [19:54] but without the extra boot information showing it up [19:54] how do I reset ALSA [19:54] like set it back to default === d3xter is now known as eliteSchaf [19:54] ikonia: replacing them [19:55] dehqan: replacing what from what ? [19:55] I knkow startupmanager does the job, but I don't have any gui installed, I don't wanna have to install 400 megs of files just to change that option mkquist [19:55] jp--: then set to quiet boot... doesnt show text [19:55] how can i run a shell script without giving the full path of [19:55] ikonia: /usr from jaunty that is damaged to new one [19:55] the script ? [19:55] dehqan: where are you getting a new one ? [19:55] dehqan: either way "no" [19:55] how can i run a shell script without giving the full path of the script ? [19:55] nhak: put it in your PATH [19:55] i have tried it but it does not work :/ [19:56] ikonia: installer will make new ok ? [19:56] how do I reset ALSA back to default? [19:56] dehqan: if you do an install it will make a new one [19:56] nhak: a.) the it has to be in your path b.) it has to be executable [19:56] ikonia: ok then can /usr from past be replaced with new one ? [19:56] dehqan: no [19:56] Hi, I have an issue with a nvidia G105M, X crashes when I try to login. I'm using nvidia's latest drivers. Any Solutions to this problem? [19:56] xnt14: how did you install them [19:56] ikonia: why not? [19:57] dehqan: because the versions maybe out of sync with what libraries in /lib are, or the package manager thinks is installed [19:57] kielanmatt: I downloaded nvidia's .run file and executed that from a tty as root [19:57] hello i have a couple of questions, i installed ubuntu with windows vista, when i start my sys, i goto ubuntu, then it goes to the gnu grub 1.97 beta === andregondim_ is now known as Andre_Gondim [19:57] and under there are selections that i dont understand [19:57] xnt14: 195.xxx.x.x. ones? [19:57] kielanmatt: yes [19:58] the *latest* one [19:58] ChogyDan: Got it to work after I used this: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/downloads/Universal-USB-Installer/Universal-USB-Installer.exe from Windows 7. [19:58] ikonia: ok someone has done it for debian [19:58] did you agree to remove conflicting files? [19:58] hmm [19:58] yes [19:58] dehqan: so ? [19:58] well [19:58] it never asked [19:58] mkquist, that did the tricks! i love you. [19:58] xnt14: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:58] <3 [19:58] Of course, not it's hard to tell my friend "Linux is better" with a straight face.

[19:58] jp--: please stop that [19:58] xnt14: did you agree to nvidia changing Xorg config [19:58] (Since I need Windows to install Linux.) [19:58] ikonia: he/she used /usr for new installs [19:58] kielanmatt: yeah [19:58] jp--: please try to put your comments on one, or as few lines as possible [19:58] dehqan: so ? [19:58] xnt14: in that case [19:58] hi, I would like to know how do I do a backup of my home? [19:58] i would reccomend a third party installer [19:58] opossum_oisif: tar it up to a different location [19:58] Ub linux 2.6.31-19 generic, then the recovery mode for the same, and also -14 and -14 recovery mode also there is winvista (loader) on /dev/sda2) [19:59] ikonia, i'm a hustla, don't fuck with me. [19:59] kielanmatt: like Envy-NG? [19:59] yes [19:59] kielanmatt: ok, I'll try that [19:59] how do I reset ALSA back to default? [19:59] how do I reset ALSA back to default? [19:59] rofl [19:59] ikonia, the file is in the path and it is executable but i does not work :/ [19:59] ikonia: so why there in debian is possible but it is not possible here ? [19:59] opossum_oisif: Copy your personal data to pendrive and done [19:59] what is the diff between the -19 and the -14 and what does the vista (loader) thing do? [19:59] ikonia, ok thx but what are the argument to do a correct backup does cvzf are sufficant? [19:59] Lappie: Vista?? Ewww [20:00] dehqan: it is possible if you %101 fully understand what you're doing and know that the packages match and the binaries match the library versions [20:00] opossum_oisif: tar cvfp [20:00] ikonia: see both are jaunty so lib and packages should be the same or not ? [20:00] dehqan: no [20:00] dehqan: updates change versions [20:00] kielanmatt: I can't login to gnome, does envy have a cli? [20:01] !envy | xnt14 [20:01] xnt14: EnvyNG is a program to install newer version of nVidia or ATi drivers, it can be found in !Universe as "envyng-gtk" (for Gtk/Gnome) or "envyng-qt" (for Qt/KDE). It is NOT a supported method to install video drivers; please only use it if standard methods fail and at your own risk - See also !BinaryDriver [20:01] ikonia: no no with out update , does jaunty update automoticaly ? [20:01] ikonia, e.g. now i want to start thunderbird after installing it using the source files after i setup the path in .bashrc i can not start it directly [20:01] dehqan: jaunty offers updates [20:01] nhak: echo $PATH see if it's in your path (or paste your PATH in here) [20:01] ikonia: ok thanks ;) [20:02] ah, it does have a cli, the `-t-` switch :) [20:02] is there a source of info for the gnu grub? [20:02] xnt14: yes it does [20:03] Lappie: yes, the grub website on gnu.org [20:03] kielanmatt: ok [20:03] ikonia: so both are 9.04 with out update from on cd [20:03] kk ty [20:03] dehqan: updates don't come from the cd, they come from the internet [20:03] just type in envyng [20:03] into terminal once you install it [20:03] ikonia: know that , humble mean humble have not updated it handy [20:03] kielanmatt: I am, its running atm ;) [20:03] does anybody here use and external HD dock? i was thinking of getting one. does 9.10 have PMP support? [20:04] dehqan: I have no idea what youre talking about humble and handy [20:04] *an [20:04] ikonia: know that , humble(i) mean humble have not updated it myself [20:04] my external HD worked fine, but I want to get one of those docks to clone drives...could there be any issues? [20:05] ikonia, sorry it was my fault (i have put thunderbid there), thank you for your help :) [20:06] in a folder there are some packages from jaunty and karmic repositories , how to collect jaunty packages ? ikonia [20:07] could someone add this repository: add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc [20:07] and then list me the list of packets this command would install: sudo apt-get build-dep xbmc [20:07] -nick shuffletown [20:07] kielanmatt: Thank You! That worked. :) [20:07] im unable to successfully add that repo under the new alpha [20:08] so i cant get the build deps [20:08] ok this site does not appear to have any information on those diff options, so what now? [20:08] and can't find a list anywhere [20:09] red: "the new alpha" means lucid? then please join #ubuntu+1 [20:09] hey i have a bash script i want to automate to an icon [20:10] what would be the command to open a terminal AND enter a command into it? [20:10] guntbert: yes it means, and since people there tend to have it installed im asking here. [20:10] cause i need an older karmic user to successfully ad the repo and paste me the list :) [20:10] i tried -e --command=[my script] [20:10] so i can manually find the dep packages [20:10] mick__: gnome-terminal -e [20:11] wow.. i was on the right track lol XD thanks [20:11] red: ah I see - you will get better responses if you keep your questions on *one* line [20:12] red: https://edge.launchpad.net/~team-xbmc/+archive/ppa/+files/xbmc_9.11-karmic1.dsc should list your build-deps. [20:12] umm, it won't let me enable desktop effects, and running `compiz` in gnome-terminal complains that Xgl isn't enabled. any ideas? [20:14] xnt14: Indicating your current video drivers don't support XCgl.. [20:15] arand: I installed the nvidia 185 driver [20:16] i have not sound in youtube videos in firefox ! how i can resolve this problem ? [20:16] my friend wants to upgrade from fiesty to karamic and I have an incoming pastebin for ya === christo is now known as Guest23657 [20:16] xnt14: Then something didn't go exactly as it should, presumably, you might be able to find some hints in /var/log/Xorg.0.log [20:16] arand: ok [20:16] I'll pastebin it [20:16] hmm [20:17] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1337349 [20:17] xnt14: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:17] I think I should put in the "Extensions" part in xorg.conf? [20:17] Its not in there atm [20:18] thank you arand [20:18] ugh, adding 'Option "Composite" "Enable"' made x crash... [20:18] xnt14: normally you shouldn't need an xorg.conf file. [20:18] arand: hmm [20:19] brb [20:19] ok i think i found something (finally) but i am very very much a noob as far as this stuff is conserned, can someone please review this information and tell me if im on the right path??? http://www.trap17.com/index.php/Editing-Grub_t70042.html [20:20] Lappie: having grub problems? [20:20] not exactly a problem, i just want to understand all the options it shows [20:21] karmic? [20:21] Lappie: karmic? [20:21] will xchat log be removed after removing xchat? [20:21] yes i installed ubuntu with windows [20:21] Question on behalf of my mom: "The bar that used to show the names of opened programs is lost.  When I minimize the program that I am using I will not be able to get it back and I may have to open a new one.  Hence there may be several identical programs opened without being known. " === |GuS| is now known as [GuS] [20:22] How does she get the bar back? I use Kubuntu, not Gnome Ubuntu, and I have no idea what she's talking about. [20:22] kwtm: me neither :S [20:23] Hello, I uninstalled evolution mail but the icon remained in the office section. How can I remove it? [20:23] maybe kicker is not running, or is running without the window list on it [20:23] serverduck: better not to [20:23] cousteau: Kicker is the name of the bar that has all the opened programs? Funny, that's what they call it in KDE, too. [20:23] xangua, Why? [20:23] kwtm: does she still have the topmost panel? is the place where the window list was simply blank or is the whole panel gone [20:23] kwtm: tell her to create a new panel and add 'window list' to it [20:24] kwtm: doesn't kubuntu use kde? [20:24] arand: She says "The bar for internet is OK.  All programs are shown." I think that means the APplications menu etc. are still there. [20:24] xangua: How does she do that? [20:24] kwtm: ok, never mind... it's "gnome-panel", I think [20:24] cousteau: Yes, Kubuntu uses KDE, so that's how I know. I'm trying to help my mom who's using Gnome Ubuntu, as mentioned in my message above. [20:25] or "gnome-panels" [20:25] kwtm: with right clic in a clear area in the panel :S [20:25] xangua: Okay, will try. Thx. [20:25] kwtm: Ok, the one can right-click the top panel, select "add panel" [20:25] So can someone help me delete an icon? [20:25] sure [20:25] hello, how can i hide the complete path I am in, in the terminal? [20:25] kwtm: "new panel" rather. [20:26] move to trash [20:26] says operation not supported [20:26] huh. [20:26] TheHerbert: from where? the prompt? [20:26] do you have a trash bin on your status bar ? [20:27] arand: Does she have to specify what type of panel, like "the kind of panel that shows all the opened programs". (Is that the "taskbar"?) [20:27] TheHerbert: you need to change the prompt, which depends on the shell. for bash you need to set PS1 [20:27] error while copying evolutioin.desktop [20:27] yeah the thing before the cursor =) [20:27] Update Manager is offering to do a new install for linux-image-2.6.31-20-generic-pae. Do I need to un-install and then reinstall my nvidia restricted drivers first? I had to do this in order for the drivers to work after upgrading to the PAE enabled kernel. [20:27] TheHerbert: thats in your profile somewhere likely [20:27] back [20:27] I'm new to ubuntu, opened only my trash folder and dragged it there. [20:27] sorry.. that's all i can suggest [20:27] i looked in the .bashrc ... no luck [20:27] kwtm: then right-click the new panel and "add to panel", and add "show desktop", "window list", "desktop switcher", and finally "deleted items", that should make the panel as it is normally... [20:28] severduck: you might try #ubuntu-beginners [20:28] arand: nope, didn't work, and heres the pastebin for the Xorg log: http://pastebin.ca/1824176 [20:28] TheHerbert: /etc/profiles to possibly or anything else you may be sourcing when you login [20:28] serverduck: no offense. i use it. [20:28] TheHerbert: /etc/profile seems to set PS1 here [20:28] Thank you very much. [20:28] d'nada. [20:28] TheHerbert: If you want your prompt to be "Hello", then you type PS1="Hello" [20:29] kwtm: Another way would be to completely reset all panels, but in that case she would loose any custom launchers/applets that was added to the top panel as well.. [20:29] ah, heres the error: (EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions//libglx. [20:29] TheHerbert: Although that's not in your .bashrc, you can add your own line. I think you have to say "export PS1=Hello" ... not sure if you need the "export" [20:29] ikonia: if /home be kept , to a user file and folders in /home ,for example to have the same desktop , should new ubuntu have the same username [20:29] you need the export [20:29] what's PS1? [20:30] dehqan: no, usernames and passwords are stored in /etc [20:30] TheHerbert: the shell prompt [20:30] then would need to source your .bashrc again or log out and in [20:30] SolarisBoy: Otherwise the assigned value would only last till the end of the script file, right? I seem to remember that. [20:30] does ubuntu support belkin wireless cards [20:30] probably [20:30] TheHerbert: "PS1" is the name of a built-in environment variable (google those last 3 words). Whatever you set it to, your prompt will become. [20:30] TheHerbert: Some special text to remember: [20:30] kwtm: i think so [20:30] TheHerbert: by default it is set to PS1='\u@\h:\w\$ ' which expands to 'user@host:/full/path/to/cwd$ ' (or ending in # if you are root) [20:31] what is the name of the software to play windows games on ubuntu [20:31] kewl thanks, is ther a reference how tu put there some useful information like the current dir without the complete path? [20:31] ikonia: no humble mean how to use previous ubuntu desktop files on new desktop ; to have the same desktop [20:31] David-T: thanks [20:31] xnt14: the lines with (EE) are of specific interest, possibly # [20:31] you can remove the \w i guess [20:31] TheHerbert: man bash # and search for PS1, and PROMPTING [20:31] !lvm > Pirate_Hunter [20:31] Pirate_Hunter, please see my private message [20:31] (EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions//libglx.so is the root of the problems [20:31] ClintEastWood: wine [20:31] David-T: thanks =) [20:31] especially: \W the basename of the current working directory, with $HOME abbreviated with a tilde [20:32] dehqan: dekstop files are noramlly stored in /home/$username [20:32] TheHerbert: Some special text to remember: \h means the (Host) computer name, \u means the User name, and \w is the Working directory name (in case you want it back) [20:32] ClintEastWood: PlayOnLinux is one that is located in the Ubuntu Software Center. [20:32] ikonia: for example there is /home/desktop/iko , should new ubuntu has iko user to have the same desktop ? [20:32] thnx [20:32] dehqan: the path would be /home/iko/Desktop [20:32] xnt14: ah, didn't see you already found it. [20:32] hmm [20:33] dehqan: and any user can use /home/iko if you tell it that user's home dir is /home/ko [20:33] arand: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1390624 [20:33] kwtm: thanks aswell [20:33] what do you think? [20:33] David-T: man bash? Isn't that for the #FeminaziLinux channel? (joke! hoke!) [20:33] ClintEastWood: I believe it is a front-end for WINE. [20:33] ClintEastWood: You can also purchase Crossover. [20:33] there's a bug or something on UNR karmic installer, it doesn't show the windw [20:33] heh [20:33] the window decoration [20:33] ikonia: how to tell it ? [20:34] how to make command not execute but just simulate (show possible output) ? [20:34] when you create the user, it will ask [20:34] I had to restart metacity to get it [20:34] What's the easiest way to dualboot ubuntu and osx on a alu-macbook ? [20:34] kwtm: such remarks are not welcome here :-( [20:34] eklof: rEFIt [20:34] guntbert: Okay. Won't do it again, promise. [20:34] kwtm: :) [20:35] Update Manager is offering to do a new install for linux-image-2.6.31-20-generic-pae. Do I need to un-install and then reinstall my nvidia restricted drivers first? I had to do this initially in order for the drivers to work after upgrading to the PAE enabled kernel. [20:35] how to make command not execute but just simulate (show possible output) ? [20:36] UNR installation starts at 21:36 [20:36] Kangarooo: depends on the command if it has that option [20:36] Kangarooo: not all commands can do that, what command do you want ? [20:36] Hebram: the new kernel should invoke an nvidia module being generated for it at install [20:36] Kangarooo: what command? [20:36] Kangarooo: depends on the command - you would have to look at man to see if that is supported at all [20:36] daftykins: Thank you! [20:37] Kangarooo: also you can use "echo command" if you want to se the expansion [20:37] with vesa and nvidia drivers, my screen flickers a lot, i'm using a GeForce 8200 (integrated on a nForce 750a) [20:37] any command. maybe they have standart option [20:37] ikonia: how to tell it that user's home dir is /home/ko [20:37] so echo works for all commands? [20:37] if you want to see the 'command' not the output [20:37] arand: Thanks, have sent email to my mom. My router is not working to accept incoming connections or I'd VNC into her machine to figure it out. [20:38] dehqan: it asks you when you setup the user [20:38] wuhar ... i about to love this CL stuff ... [20:38] no echo just says repeats what i enter after echo. thats not usefull [20:38] Kangarooo: e.g. "echo ls *" will show "ls file1 file2 folder2 folder2" ...etc [20:38] it could be [20:39] Kangarooo: in general all commands dont have a test option thats not a standard thing [20:39] ikonia: even with another username ? what will happen if we creat new iko username , will /home/iko be removed [20:39] arand echo apt-get * also does the same.. [20:39] dehqan: no [20:39] dehqan: no, home directorys only get removed it you tell them to [20:39] hehe... sudo apt-get install * [20:39] Kangarooo: But no otherwise you need to use the --simulate --dry-run or equal parameter for the command in question.

Is this a common problem? [21:16] TheHerbert: or copy and paste the export line onto a command terminal and press enter [21:16] nibbler: it would be tar or? [21:17] did that [21:17] nikkkkkki: thats not archiving [21:17] guntbert: i never know what i ned and dont need so when updatemanager pops up i usually just install everthing. could that be my problem [21:17] nikkkkkki: thats syncing [21:17] but i need archive [21:17] nikkkkkki, this is not involving tar (yet) but just copy from host-a to host-b [21:17] nikkkkkki: you can execute commands over ssh [21:17] *so when update manager [21:17] tar zcf backup.tar.gz htdocs [21:17] nikkkkkki: ssh user@host "tar cf /path/to/htdocs" [21:18] nibbler: i work in a max [21:18] i buld a ar & wget it [21:18] arg i was getting help from guntbert [21:18] whats the command to change cpu frequency to a different value?

I ran apt-get install libasound2 alsa-utils alsa-oss to install it initially, but many directories and commands don't seem to be in place. "alsaconf" gives command not found, and "alsamixer" gives the message alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory. The "/proc/asound" directory that seems to be referred to does not exist. I tried purging [21:40] and then installing again but the same problems persist. [21:40] ok, the command worked, but I can't connect; how do I change the setting to allow me to connect without prompting or password?

[22:46] I used the dev null code and it wrote it there [22:47] ah.. my bad.. im like a super noob [22:47] rohith: no major prob, reason is twofold, one is so if someone gives absolutly horrible advice, others can hopefully stop them from killing a computer [22:48] i know i can output a command to file like command > textfile also theres pastebinit witch upload output to pastebin.com like command | pastebinit but can i output to launchpad ? [22:48] Kangarooo, for bugs? [22:49] I emptied the recycle bin.. There was only 1mb of stuff in there [22:49] rohith: reading where wubi stores stuff, hold on [22:49] alright.. Thanks [22:49] rohith: i assume you did the uninstall from the Add/Remove programs. What version windows did you install wubi on? [22:50] bazhang: for example in LP bug report someone ask me to do some command. i can do command and output paste to bug or output make to file and upload file. but easyr would be like command | ubuntu-bug bugnumber or just command | ubuntu-bug and in LP i would search the bug i want the files to be added to. [22:50] i need a USB Driver for my blackberry in Ubuntu [22:50] rohith: check for a c:\ubuntu folder, unless you did a non-standard install [22:51] Windows XP Home Edition... I deleted that file [22:51] nicolas, sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0.1600.3 glib [22:51] hiexpo: its ok i got it but now its gstreamer lol [22:52] rohith: you deleted the file after you ran the uninstaller? [22:52] ok [22:52] Yes [22:52] hmm, strange that it would leave the file there after the uninstall... [22:53] Kangarooo, not certain there, especially as you have to have a launchpad account and be logged in to respond, as far as I know [22:53] hiexpo: ok i got it to work but now its python [22:53] I uninstalled via an .exe file called ubuntu-uninstall not the add remove programs [22:53] rohith: is it still in your add/remove programs? thats the recommended removal technique [22:53] I deleted the files my self after i ran the un-installer [22:54] if someone could PM me about setting up the M Audio KeyStudio 49 USB for playback under audacity or ardour you would be the man or woman [22:54] Im checking the list is being populated [22:55] .I just found a PD external to control jack transport. [22:55] Ubuntu is gone from the list [22:55] rohith: do you see a c:\wubildr? [22:56] when I'm watching youtube (or other streaming) how can I make the screen not dim and switch off? [22:56] No... but saw that file before i ran the un-installer [22:56] unop: even better, thx [22:56] rohith: those are where it saves stuff, hold on one more second... [22:57] sure [22:57] bazhang: yes of course i need to be loged in. but so now there isnt such command like pastebinit only for launchpad ? [22:57] rohith: thats a clean install, the only explanation i can think of could be NTFS corruption. this can be caused by improper shutdown on the computer === dunkel is now known as Guest57453 [22:58] Kangarooo, not to my knowledge, at least regarding pastebinit [22:58] rohith: to fix this, you need to have to have windows run a chkdsk /r, generally it will ask you to do a boot time scan. do so. when it is done, it may have a large file or two in the recovered folder, or you may just have accurate free space. either way, it should fix it. [22:58] Alright.. Do you think Ubuntu un-installed completely? [22:59] is there a way to jump from hardy (8.04) to karmic from through an upgrade? [22:59] does anyone know of a fuse filesystem that mounts not one tar/rar/7z/zip archive but mirrors a directory and expands all archives into browseable folders? [22:59] rohith: yes, unless you still see an option to boot into ubuntu when you start, it is completely removed. i hope you install a ubuntu sometime again. I like it at least. :P [22:59] Yea.. im going to install it again [23:00] Kangarooo: pastebin.com changed their api, so change /usr/bin/pastebinit default pastebin to pastebin.ca.. fixes it [23:00] ambit, not to karmic but to Lucid once its released [23:00] I corrupeted the xorg.conf file.. so im re-installing. Thank You so much for your help :) [23:01] bazhang: so i have to do a fresh install to get karmic [23:01] rohith: no prob, make sure you get the size stuff with ntfs worked out before re-install. i am pretty sure ntfs is corrupt. [23:01] ambit, or do a multi version upgrade path [23:01] Is there a program on ubuntu that can give me the coords on a gif file for an image map?

[23:02] ive noticed that in the current ubuntu it supports wallpaper groups that swap over time, anyone know where i can look on info on where to get more or make my own? there seems to be no documentation on what is doing it [23:02] is there a way to make UNR boot faster? right now it's slow as hell [23:03] (1 minute or so) [23:03] nicolas: it is in python-gobject [23:03] nicolas: apt-cache search python | grep gobject [23:03] How much disk space does the normal Ubuntu 9.10 require?

[23:35] CyberGabber~ no it doesn't, there is no executable for it to present [23:36] sebsebseb: Its realiable? Can I damage file system by recording/deleting files on the NTFS partition ? [23:36] sebsebseb: but i don't want to change [23:36] DanDare: as long as your Windows install was shut down properly, should be no problem to access the partition using that Live CD, and then do what you want to do with the files [23:36] sebsebseb: ok thanks [23:36] DanDare: it's fine to use a Ubuntu 7.10 or later CD for what you want to do [23:37] sebsebseb: I remember in the past the NTFS file system support warns you about not using it to make changes on NTFS [23:37] my point is that there are many noobs that dont know much about anything linux, incl ubuntu, and some of us dont get much out of reading pages and pages of info esp when were looking for something specific, and , when learning windows i found that sometimes with (good intentions) advanced settings n things were changed w/o the person knowing what the heck they were doing, this is not a complaint or a whine, its just a suggestion [23:37] , please remember to cover the basics when helping someone ok [23:38] Lappie: I just joined here a little while ago, I wonder who all of that, was to [23:38] marie-louise: Ok why do you want GDM to not make any sound? [23:39] http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/index_main.html Lappie here are some basics [23:39] sebsebseb: because it is annoying [23:39] marie-louise: Are you new to Ubuntu? Is 9.10 your first version? [23:40] no on in specific, i just wanted to remind that some of us noobs arent as savy as most of the peeps here trying to help and that if they would ask some basic questions like, for me instance, do you know how to see the cube when you switch between workspaces, i would have said no [23:40] but i did not know how to phrase my issue, because like i said, i am very much a noob [23:40] sebsebseb: no i have been using gentoo for the last two years, but i've never used gdm before [23:40] marie-louise: oh [23:40] Lappie, well reading the guide I linked you would eliminate many of those issues [23:41] marie-louise: 9.10 uses a later version of GDM, which is not that customizalbe compared to the old version. [23:41] is there a guide anywhere that explains how to correctly configure a server so that its secure to give out shh access to users? [23:41] aeiou: you can use keys or you can use fail2ban [23:41] !ssh | aeiou [23:41] aeiou: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) [23:41] aeiou: I like fail2ban [23:41] thats all i was saying, i do believe you guys are doing a great job, and bazhang, like i said, i dont get much from reading pages and pages of info when its a totally new enviroment, like learning a new language wo learning some of the basic words n such [23:41] marie-louise: I've been on Gentoo for the past 4 years. I, too, would like to silence GDM. Unfortunately, the gdm which ships with Ubuntu is really stripped down in the ability to configure things. [23:42] histo, i meant more about securing the server, so users with access cannot destroy everything [23:42] Lappie, reading is required. that is a great resource I linked you to [23:42] infact, i dont even know how to pronounce ubuntu i think its u-bunt-u :) [23:42] Dunkirk: so it's impossible to mute it?! [23:42] sebsebseb: i see [23:42] ty i will deff check it out, but im more of a hands on person [23:42] marie-louise: I'm looking around in /etc/gdm... [23:43] marie-louise, http://tacticalvim.wordpress.com/2009/11/27/disable-gdm-ready-sound-in-ubuntu-9-10-karmic/ [23:43] i crashed win 3.x millions of times, but by the time i was finished i could tell someone just about anything about it [23:43] soreau: Thanks for the help/info im going to re-install Ubuntu now [23:44] I just installed Ubuntu 9.10 on a compaq presario 900, and it loads grub but then the screen goes black and nothing happens. How do I fix this? [23:44] again, i am very greatfull of everyons help, and please keep it up, [23:44] hi all [23:44] Nallep_, try booting into text mode [23:44] anyone know of logitech webcam drivers for ubuntu? [23:45] Hello all [23:45] Nallep_: Recovery Mode [23:45] Nallep_, at the grub prompt choose edit and add a -text option [23:45] I use dualscreen but I have two cursors. Any idea ? [23:45] Nallep_, well it sound like it doesn't recognize your graphics driver [23:46] are there any good ACL guides? [23:46] marie-louise: I'm not finding anything. [23:46] ok I'm booting into recovery mode, I'm at the recovery menu [23:46] Dunkirk: hold on [23:46] Paineless: I have no answer to your issue, but maybe you have to read this, (search for barry-util on this site): http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1265727.html [23:46] aeiou: ACL? [23:46] I also note that they removed the ability to use GDM to remote-login to other systems with XDMCP (or whatever it was). [23:46] access control lists [23:47] What version supports ati radeon mobility x300 (I want to use desktop effects) [23:47] i want to setup a server that i can give ssh access to the users, but want to secure it so they arent able to trash the server [23:47] fabien: Lucky you! Some people pay extra for that! [23:47] ohh nice guide good suggestion bazhang, i just might get something out of this :) [23:48] Younder, srinath_man I have a root shell now, [23:48] aeiou: You may be interested in rssh. [23:48] Paineless: and this: http://www.commonitman.com/2009/12/sync-blackberry-on-ubunty-904.html [23:48] Dunkirk: http://tacticalvim.wordpress.com/2009/11/27/disable-gdm-ready-sound-in-ubuntu-9-10-karmic/ this other user sent me that [23:48] fbianconi: thank you [23:48] Dunkirk : Okay ;) But I can's fix this small bug... [23:49] Dunkirk, i want users to be able to move files, compile software etc all in their home directories [23:49] just i want to secure the rest of the system - would this be possible with rssh? [23:49] marie-louise: Way cool! Thanks for that! [23:49] aeiou: Then that's just permissions. [23:49] Dunkirk: thank fbianconi ;) [23:50] What version of Ubuntu supports ati radeon mobility x300 ( I want to use desktop effects)? [23:50] how do I disable the graphics driver? [23:50] Dunkirk, would ACL give me better security compared to posix? [23:50] CyberGabber~ thanks [23:51] aeiou: Well, ACL's are really complicated, and probably not worth the hassle. There's really a lot of subtle power in the standard Unix permissions. [23:51] aeiou: well you can chroot. also set /home and /var on seperate partions as that simplifies soe things. also set local stuff in /uer/local so it doesn't disturb the standard updates. That makes the system easier to maintain [23:51] hi please can any one help me with this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8922754 [23:51] alright, goodnight Dunkirk and fbianconi! [23:51] aeiou: inparticular you can then easelly backup with dump [23:52] aeiou: If you want people to be able to compile software, there's only so much "locking down" you can do, as compiling software is going to require access to lots and lots of programs, scratch space, system resources (like memory and filehandles), etc. [23:52] aeiou: I assume only /avr /home /usr/local are interesting to back up. Of cource you should have a ubuntu CD of your current version as well [23:52] var [23:53] I am running the x64 version of Ubuntu 9.10. For the past 2 days(haven't installed any new programs within the same time frame). I've started to encounter problems after I lock my computer, (ctrl+alt+l), then come back and unlock it. After unlocking, I am unable to open any programs. Any ideas? [23:53] aeiou: Having dump on a seperate partion prevents DOS attacks from overwriting your system area if log files get really large [23:54] aeiou: On a related idea, what about creating a virtual machine in something like KVM or VirtualBox (I use both for various things), and letting them "have at it" in the VM? [23:54] aeiou, also check /etc/limis for setting user quota, max processes, disk space, restict acess time etc [23:54] Dunkirk, i was thinking it would be a lot more performant to not run VMs [23:54] aeiou, clever use of groups simplifies things [23:55] aeiou: You'd be surprised at how fast VM's run, especially Linux-on-Linux with KVM. [23:55] these guys give ssh with their hosting http://www.webfaction.com/ [23:55] aeiou: But you're right, there's a tradeoff. It's just not as much as you'd think. [23:55] so i know its definately possbible to do securely [23:56] Dunkirk, that would mean each user running their own apache etc [23:56] aeiou: They're probably "jailing" like Younder is talking about. There's much less to setup for just a web server, as opposed to compiler chains. [23:56] Please someone help me... What version of Ubuntu supports ati radeon mobility x300 (I want to use Desktop Effects)? [23:56] aeiou: But, yea, same basic idea. [23:56] Dunkirk, they arent jailing, you can see everything - just files are locked down [23:57] and you can compile your own programs in your home directory [23:57] eimai gamatos [23:57] k gamw ta paidia [23:57] I just install ubuntu 9.10 on a compaq presario 900 laptop, when I boot up I just get a black screen and nothing else happens, I'm currently booted into recovery mode root shell, how do I fix it so I can sue my computer?
