[00:05] has anyone in here success using Bamboo from Wacom with U 9.10? === John_Robson is now known as JohnRobson [00:05] LameBucket: then i'd look into setting up an xorg.conf file, maybe your tv needs to select a different input === nikolam_ is now known as nikolam [00:05] why does my software center thing say 0 items [00:06] clickme: no.. can you send it again [00:06] is there a way to update it?

[00:06] LameBucket: try booting into safe mode [00:06] thanks [00:06] clickme: I already tried that.. it would just crash and wouldnt work. [00:06] have OO 3.1 on Ubuntu 9.1. I wanted to know if there was somewhere I could find icons for the applications? not the application icons but the actual buttons when looking at for example open office writer? [00:06] need to make a wifi, just like the network-manager does, but on CLI [00:07] ActionParsnip: can i set one up from the terminal.. its all i can see righ tnow.. [00:07] how to? [00:07] LameBucket: you be willing to download the live CD and installing it again [00:07] LameBucket: sure its just a text file [00:07] actionparsnip that didnt seem to work [00:07] thanx joeG - I have read http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/ and some Ubuntu fora [00:08] when "http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=688872" refers to "the location of the CD tree" what is meant? Is this the path to the cd writer? [00:09] spartan07: do you mean the actual images that are used for the application icons? [00:09] ActionParsnip: could you help me do that? [00:09] asathoor http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1321238 This worked for me. [00:09] umbra_: its the files and folders which will make up the ISO [00:09] joeG >> thanx I'll look into it [00:09] brjann: nope the buttons when you open up say writer like the open button or undo button [00:10] LameBucket, to create an xorg see http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/create-an-xorg-conf-file [00:10] LameBucket: sudo Xorg -configure will make a skeletal file, you can then add settings etc [00:10] clickme: I have already downloaded it twice.. its not the cd.. its the resolution that it puts it in is not one my tv can use.. so i used the text installer to install it.. [00:10] hey, i'm having some problems installing ubuntu [00:10] LaughingLion: did you MD5 test the file you downloaded? did yuo verify the media once created? [00:10] joeG > this guide looks interesting, there are more details than the previous ones - so I'll give it a try [00:11] i went through the steps on the live-cd, but when i restarted it takes me to a blank screen with grub on it [00:11] no i don't think so :( [00:11] How can I get a Move To Directory option in the right click menu of nautilus? [00:11] asathoor, you can pretty much copy/paste the codes given in the post to the command line and let it rip. [00:11] Hello i have an idea in the sandbox and i would like to know that you think about it here it is: Idea #23904: Sort applications also by Name/Populariy/Rate etc in Ubuntu Software Center [00:11] ActionParsnip, I'm afraid I'm still lost with that... How does the "CD Tree" refer to files and folders used to make up the iso when it sounds like a directory? [00:11] need to make a wifi, just like the network-manager does, but on CLI, How to? [00:12] juan1: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=258857 [00:12] umbra_: the directory structure in an OS is like a tree with branches being folders and subfolders being branches off that, files can be considered as leaves [00:12] thanks Jon- [00:12] juan1: Just googled it. :P [00:12] ActionParsnip, Yes, but then is the reference to a directory where the files will be placed? [00:13] LaughingLion: then you have no way of knowing if the data you downloaded is complete and error free and nor do you know if the media creation was 100% succesful do you? [00:13] umbra_: thats all i know dude [00:13] spartan07: like these? http://ui.openoffice.org/VisualDesign/OOo_galaxy.html [00:13] ZykoticK9: I am using an nvidia and so it tells me to do "sudo nvidia-xconfig" and when i run it it says that the command was not found.. [00:13] ActionParsnip, thanks man [00:13] i guess not, but i had another operating system on my computer and i can't boot that either now [00:13] i think it's a problem with grub [00:14] LaughingLion: check the iso, check the cd [00:14] joeG - yea so that's the action then. I log off and try. Thanx for your answr [00:14] how do i do that :)? [00:14] I have small problem with wicd is anybody willing to help [00:14] LameBucket, perhaps you don't have the nvidia driver/programs installed. You can use the non-nvidia method right now. [00:14] something on my server is eating all the disk space. how can I check what is it? [00:14] brjann: yes like that. Is there a place with alot of them. I could not find any @ gnome art [00:15] spartan07: well, there are a few more here: http://ui.openoffice.org/VisualDesign/OOo_icon_evolution.html [00:15] bencc: remove unnecessary kernels is a great way to claw back space, as is bleachbit [00:15] can someone recommend an external 56K modem which is recognized well under ubuntu ?

[00:17] ZykoticK9: yes... it really says that.. [00:17] I looked on openoffice site, but did not even know there was a Visual Design site. Thank you. Is there a way to have openoffice use the icons from ubuntu? for example Im using moblin icons and when I use abiword, abiword uses the style. [00:18] LameBucket, what sort of TV is this? [00:18] Vizio VW26L [00:18] LaughingLion: its on the first screen you see when you boot the cd [00:18] juan1: Talk to someone else I am not that good with CLI lol, I just googled it for you last time.

[00:46] it is not an internal card is a usb card [00:46] taofd: look into lm-sensors [00:46] isix: ah [00:46] ActionParsnip, ubuntu just happens to be one of the best though [00:46] taofd: install lm-sensors [00:46] yes, been using nix since 1998 :) [00:46] taofd: thats an opinion so is not concrete [00:47] ActionParsnip, chetnick thx === zzzzz is now known as onesandzeros [00:47] ee [00:47] ActionParsnip, how so? I think it's pretty well established that ubuntu is one of the most popular distros currently [00:47] taofd: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto [00:47] ActionParsnip, it's also considered one of the best packaged distros and easily used for newbies [00:47] ActionParsnip, not saying it is *the* best, but it is certainly one of the best [00:48] taofd: some people think its the worst. neither you nor them are right or wrong [00:48] taofd: there is no best [00:48] taofd: only best for you, millions will share your opinion and millions will not [00:48] ActionParsnip, i'm not going to get into an argument about perceptive "bests", i'm just stating what is the general consensus [00:49] is their a way to view installed devices and enable and disable them like windows? [00:49] Can you use phpMyAdmin on your local computer to manage a database on a remote server? [00:49] taofd: i dont listen to general consensus [00:49] Essentially they are all the same, they are what you made them. [00:49] for froh, who is a newbie linux user, that's probably what matters to him, his experience elsewhere is not going to be significantly different [00:49] e'lo [00:49] taofd: i look at whats best for me, but again, people think xpud sucks but i think its neat [00:49] Are there any pre-packed (like LAMP) lighttpd + php5 + mariadb -packages? [00:50] ActionParsnip, i'm very tempted to send you the !ot factoid ;) [00:50] taofd, ? [00:50] froh, you are probably correct in stating that linux is not yet ready for mainstream adoption, but it's getting there :) if you feel that it isn't ready for you standards yet, please feel free to file a few bug reports or recommendations / contribute to making it better, or check back again at a later time :) [00:50] ZykoticK9: hehe [00:50] where do I put a logrotate script for nginx? === jim__ is now known as jimjim [00:51] taofd, i like ubuntu, i actually [00:51] srry [00:51] taofd, i like ubuntu, i actually [00:51] taofd, i like ubuntu, i actually use it every day [00:51] erhh...... [00:52] where is the device manager on ubuntu 9.10 64 cant find it [00:52] bencc: /etc/logrotate.d/ [00:52] froh, oh, were you not the one that Action was talking to? my bad, nvm [00:52] isix, there really isn't one, what are you trying to do? [00:53] Majority of mainstream did not even hear of Linux. I'm sure it would be more popular/adopted if it was advertized. [00:53] enable the wifi card because it is disabled but ifup and ifdown dont work [00:53] Hi! When I use my onboard wifi nic I am (usually) unable to connect to encrypted networks. If I use the USB nic, I don't have this problem so I'm thinking it's the drivers. It's a Dell vostro 1400 using the Broadcom driver. any help? [00:53] chetnick, sorry i didn't want to distract the main channel, we can talk about this more in offtopic if you want :) [00:53] taofd: true. [00:54] isix, please identify the nic you're using, lspci in a terminal helps === Nijverheid is now known as Guest85189 [00:54] BluesKaj-Laptop, echo "this is a test" | festival --tts [00:55] isix, if you want a shorter output from lspci you could use "lspci | grep Ethernet" [00:55] I just installed a new hdd in my ubuntu box. I'd like to have it automatically mount to a directory in the filesystem on bootup, is there an easy way to do that? [00:55] So yeah, new kernel broke suspend. [00:55] when I scanned using Klamav some .exe files saved from windows XP were reported infected by trojans.Will such files ever infect UBUNTU? They are quarantined by Klamav. [00:55] BluesKaj-Laptop, but I just went to the machine and I also do not hear anything from that machine either, so perhaps I have a funny sound setup because I am using hdmi [00:56] iffymcdiffy, you need to add the drive to your fstab file - not 'really' an easy way to do that "gksu gedit /etc/fstab" will give you a GUI editor [00:56] researcher1: no, they are windows viri, not linux [00:56] ActionParsnip: viruses [00:56] ZykoticK9, and how would that help, (10:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless) [00:56] does anyone know the string for gconf-editor /apps/metacity/general/button_layout to create a space between two entries? [00:57] zykotick9: I guess I'm fine with that though it seems that ubuntu as the "easy" distribution should be able to do it through the gui [00:57] isix: what model is the wifi card? [00:57] researcher1: you can infect your wine if you execute the apps in wine but the wine config can easily be cleaned or even removed [00:57] zykotick9: what kinds of flags do I need? [00:57] iffymcdiffy, i'm unaware of an easy method to manipulate fstab... [00:57] ok ActionParsnp, then why did a linux virus scanner reported them at all? [00:58] isix: also is it just a usb wifi dongle or does it also act as storage? [00:58] yes I have wine installed [00:58] researcher1, because those scanners are normally used on servers or gateways [00:58] ok [00:58] iffymcdiffy, what format did you use for the new drive? [00:58] wifi dongle [00:58] linxeh: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viri [00:58] ActionParsnip: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plural_form_of_words_ending_in_-us [00:59] zykotick9: its ntfs right now...(from an old system) I might change it later but for now I guess I'd like the read/write ntfs format [00:59] does anyone know the string for gconf-editor /apps/metacity/general/button_layout to create a space between two entries? [00:59] ActionParsnip: virii is impossible as a plural, and viri is incorrect [00:59] How do I play input through output? [00:59] i already installed ndiswrapper and the driver and follow all the instructions on wifi how to [00:59] anyone knows about the firefox and java pluding issue? [00:59] iffymcdiffy, have you tried "disk utillity" in system/dministration? [00:59] audio I mean [00:59] FlyingTortoise [00:59] linxeh: touche [00:59] RTL8192 WLAN Adapter [00:59] iffymcdiffy, sorry man i'm useless with NTFS - i'm sure someone else can help you though [01:00] isix: is there instructions on how to 'turn it on'? [01:00] linxeh: i like to add i to stuff to pluralise it, its fun [01:00] froh: yeah I've looked in it but didn't see the option mount here [01:00] ActionParsnip: heh [01:00] linxeh: like goldeneyei [01:01] what happens to an ecryptfs setup if I use root to overwrite the account password of the user [01:01] well it says to use network-manager-gnome but on 9.10 i cant find networking on system admin [01:01] hah :) [01:01] iffymcdiffy, iv'e never tried this in a "new" distro but i can help you with the correct line in /etc/fstab [01:01] I might start doing that at work to wind people up :) [01:01] ActionParsnip: hey again. do you happen to know if it's possible to mount partimage files? [01:01] froh: sure I'd appreciate that [01:02] that was the problem i ran into last time, now that i recall [01:02] l7: not sure tbh, never tried. Dont see why not [01:02] l7: yes, you can [01:02] i tried to find the nm-applet but dosent run [01:02] mount -o loop -t partimagefs imagefile /some/mount/point [01:02] froh: what should I write, the drive is on /dev/sdb [01:03] oh no thats rubbish [01:03] ignore me [01:03] l7: what if you do mount -o loop /the/image/file /some/mount/point [01:03] l7: does that work ? [01:04] linxeh: i get "mount: you must specify the filesystem type" [01:04] iffymcdiffy, /dev/sdb1 /mnt/disk ntfs-3g ro,uid=1000 0 0 [01:04] i also tried "sudo mount -o loop -t partimagefs fooooimg.000 /mnt/partimage/" [01:05] l7: hmm, I guess not then. is it a compressed filesystem ? [01:05] and it doesn't understand partimagefs [01:05] l7: I always just use dd to create my images, then they can easily be mounted etc [01:05] linxeh: yeah, as far as i know which is not very much [01:05] isix: nm-applet should already be loaded/running, should be a icon next to the clock on the top [01:05] google reveals a lot of hits for people asking how to do this, but no answers on how [01:06] linxeh: yeah i wanted to use dd, but the resulting image files were a bit larger than i wanted [01:06] iffymcdiffy, i'm just guessing here, make sure /mnt/disk exists, and grep /etc/password reveals your correct uid [01:06] i think partimage understands how to skip over empty areas which is nice [01:06] but unmountable images are annoying [01:06] iffymcdiffy, /dev/sda1 is thefirst partition on your disk [01:06] l7: did you select max compression? [01:06] isix: a quick search in google brought up a few mentions on the ubuntu forums that there should be a working native linux driver, try searching on the forums for the model of your wifi dongle there should be a few hits that might help you [01:07] I've got an awful problem. Right after I log on, the next time I press enter my X-server gets restarted. Any ideas? Is this known? [01:07] isix: there may be source code on the realtek site for you to compile [01:07] l7: looking at the partimage site it isnt currently possible - they are asking for help to write a block driver to support it [01:07] m0ar: when you log back in read /var/log/Xorg.0.log [01:07] ok how do I bring up the graphic driver menu from the prompt please? [01:08] ActionParsnip: kk [01:08] ActionParsnip: it seems there are a number of different versions of that particular wifi device, but recompiling kernel/driver seems to be an option [01:08] hi, need help regarding ssl certificats anybody have experience working with them? [01:08] olskolirc: what video card? [01:08] so if I say apt-get update-upgrade-dist-upgrade I should be all up to date? [01:08] froh: is there a way to automount the fstab without restarting to test it? [01:08] JustaNumber: indeed [01:08] it is up and running what i wanna know where is the networking app and how to run it [01:08] iffymcdiffy: mount -a [01:08] iffymcdiffy, yes, "mount /mnt/disk" [01:09] NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 420 [01:09] ActionParsnip [01:09] ActionParsnip: nope didn't fiddle with the compression options [01:09] isix: is there no network manager icon in the top bar? [01:09] linxeh: oh well, thanks anyway for the help [01:09] hi, I need help regarding ssl certificats anybody have experience working with them? [01:09] i suppose i will go back to dd for now [01:09] What, specifically, do you need, ubuntuNewBe? [01:10] l7: you could use dd and gzip/bzip2/7zip [01:10] hi can someone take a look at this and reply to it if you can help me. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8927479#post8927479 [01:10] Red_Hamster I am setting up a mail server on ubuntu using https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix [01:10] linxeh: does 7zip produce smaller images than bzip2? [01:10] !ask | ubuntuNewBe [01:10] ubuntuNewBe: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [01:10] l7: generally yes [01:11] iffymcdiffy, man mount.ntfs-3g shows you what the options for mounting does [01:11] l7: if you're going to be using gzip/bzip2 for large files and have a multicore cpu, install pigz and pbzip2 (and replace the gzip/bzip2 in /bin with them) [01:11] Red_Hamster openssl req -new -x509 -extensions v3_ca -keyout cakey.pem -out cacert.pem -days 3650, does this creat a root cert? [01:11] clonezilla's also uses dd i think and they provide a nicely organized backup too [01:11] there is no source code but ndiswrapper makes the install of the xp drivers [01:12] blakkheim: hmm, i have a very old pentium, but it has hyperthreading, does that count? [01:12] yes there is a nerwork manager gnome icon on the top bar [01:12] olskolirc: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-96 i think (if you use karmic) [01:12] l7: it would offer a small speed improvement [01:12] thanks [01:12] i understand someone had fun scripting ubottu in tcl, but it is more of an annoyance than anything else [01:12] ubuntuNewBe, I think it creates both a private key, which serves as the root for self-signed authentication and a public key, which is what clients need to accept. [01:13] blakkheim: ah, neat then. thanks for that tip [01:13] Red_Hamster, okay so I can use the cacert.pem to create new certs and sign them? [01:14] isix: you should be able to see wifi networks if you click on that, if you right click on it it will tell you if wifi is enabled [01:14] here is the site of the conf of the wifi i am on instruction 3.6 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper [01:14] ubottu, yes cacert is a fake root cert [01:14] ubuntuNewBe, no, cacert.pem is what you should serve to clients, if my memory of self-signing is accurate. [01:14] ubuntuNewBe, cakey.pem is the private key, which only Postfix needs to see. [01:15] it says device is not ready [01:15] i will be rigth back restarting [01:16] does this logrotate script for nginx makes sense? http://dpaste.com/168856/ [01:17] ok im back [01:17] froh: I think its working now...Thanks! [01:18] Red_Hamster, so how do I create a root cert that I can use to make more certs? [01:18] wireless network device not ready [01:19] Where can I get the Wingdings font?

[01:32] blakkheim, what os are you currently using? [01:32] jpds: well , I like Yahoo and I use it .. But i tend to use Google more [01:32] so thats just one more step for me when loading up a fresh install of ubuntu [01:32] draygen: And the common user doesn't care, they just want a search box, and text. [01:32] Alan502: gentoo on desktop, arch on netbook, debian on server [01:33] nice [01:34] those 'real' distros too much pain for me, ill stick with Ubuntu :) [01:34] so does that seriously mean yahoo paid canonical to become the default? === ihermosilla is now known as Miguel29 [01:34] does anyone have any experience with a virus/or rootkit that causes intermittent packet loss to the gateway? its driving me nuts! :-p [01:36] what is the command to bring up software sources please? [01:36] olskolirc: gksudo software-properties-gtk, if I recall correctly [01:36] ok i need a disk maintenance tool. earlier today my hdd started to click adn freeze my os. i turned it off and gave it a rest for a while. === Alan502_ is now known as Alan502 [01:37] draygen: I had such a issue recently, but cause of dns-flooding, does your syslog say sth. or have you got a high system load ?

I thought it was a wireless issue, but it doesnt happen to my machine running Ubuntu [01:38] he can't connect to X DasEi [01:39] Wireshark showing TLS connections to spynettest.microsoft.com , which concerns me [01:39] is there a web browser for ubuntu that isn't mindnumbingly slow and annoying [01:39] olskolirc: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list [01:39] HowardtheDuck: Chrome ;) [01:39] ok i need a disk maintenance tool. [01:39] !browser | HowardtheDuck [01:39] HowardtheDuck: Browsers available for Ubuntu: Firefox (GTK, Gecko engine), Konqueror (KDE/Qt, KHTML engine), Epiphany (GTK, Gecko engine), Dillo (GTK), w3m (terminal-based), Links2 (terminal-based or graphical, see !man page), edbrowse (command-line), Opera (Qt, proprietary) [01:40] for some reason when using sensors, it says my adaptor's critical temp is 63 degress C... this seems kind of low... are there consequences of it's "critical" temp being set this low, or does it not matter? [01:40] jpds: k, fair enough. [01:40] draygen: ##windows [01:40] xangua: I'm not asking what browsers are available, i'm asking which of those available browsers are good [01:40] FF is awful, Opera is okay, but I'd like faster if it's out there [01:40] HowardtheDuck: firefox, opera, chromium [01:40] DasEi: understood, wasnt asking for "windows" support, just asking if anyone experienced a virus that can cause packet loss to the gateway ..thats all [01:40] HowardtheDuck, i would look at opera or chrome or firefox minimal [01:40] HowardtheDuck: also, why is FF "awful"? [01:40] meowbuntu-away: fsck for fs, testdisk for more forensic issues, and ... [01:41] Tartaros: incredibly slow [01:41] HowardtheDuck: for gnome¿ chromium and midori, both use webkit :) [01:41] xangua: thanks. [01:41] draygen: right then, no , not in ubuntu [01:41] HowardtheDuck: huh, is it now... isn't it just your computer being slow? ;P [01:41] Because after all these years, Firefox still leaks memory like an 80 year old man' [01:42] Tartaros: Since FF is blazing fast on my XP partition, no, I don't think so. [01:42] The only time I've seen Firefox slow down is after installing addons and such for it. Fast as can be for me. [01:42] hey! How could i change the resolution of my grub? [01:42] dj_segfault: it doesn't leak memory, it just fragments. Like any program will, unless it can move the memory around like mono or java virtual machines [01:43] HowardtheDuck: opera is also very good but is propietary [01:43] how do I manually force logrotate for testing? [01:43] meowbuntu-away: what's the behaviour of the disk ? [01:43] damian: removing the addons definitely helps, as well as the usual recommended tweaks, but still is nowhere near the speed it should be [01:43] HowardtheDuck: in that case it's still not firefox obviuosly. It should be as fast in linux as its in XP, or faster. [01:43] I like Opera [01:43] 10.50 is awesome [01:43] xangua: yeah, i really like opera. installed 10.5 yeterday on my XP box at work [01:43] :P [01:43] Sadly its not open source [01:43] oops [01:43] shit.. this is kinda offtopic [01:43] DasEi, yes it was working find now though [01:44] well yeah opera seems faster but it's controls are nowhere near as natural as FF's are [01:44] Gotta be carefull. Else they'll ban me from life, the universe and everything [01:44] Tartaros: well it's not, and I'm by far not the only person having this problem. Windows FF is great, Ubuntu FF is not [01:44] yeah [01:44] is it alright if I post a link to my filesystem question on the ubuntu forums? [01:44] Opera feels weird in Ubuntu [01:44] Much better on windows [01:44] yeah I really would prefer FF, I like it much better as a browser, but use Opera now just because I kinda have to [01:44] hello ^^ [01:44] hello [01:44] Tartaros: On every Linux system I've used, Firefox running for a while eventually takes up more and more memory and CPU cycles (sometimes up to 70%), especially with Flash [01:44] bencc: sudo logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.conf [01:44] Flash sucks [01:44] You could always switch to a terminal browser ;) [01:45] :P [01:45] dj_segfault: same here [01:45] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1423517 [01:45] even though FF sux in Ubuntu, I still use it for flash...because flash in Opera is even worse heh [01:45] dj_segfault: yes. Fragmenting. Also flash plugin is not really FF's fault is it [01:45] GNOME sucks [01:45] don't say that! [01:45] it rules [01:45] It looks like something for handicapped persons [01:45] meowbuntu-away: didn't understand your last answer [01:45] i'm trying to make changes on /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts but i'm scared i'll mess something up T_T [01:45] now we really are offtopic [01:45] !ot [01:45] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

Mine does the same thing [01:49] hi there.. good morning [01:49] tartaros: well cuz there's one place in hosts that says "ubuntu-domain" so i'm not sure if i need to change thatone to "newname-domain" sorry im a n00b xD [01:49] olskolirc: what part of "this channel is not about lucid" dont you understand :) [01:49] dj_segfault, what do you mean? :D [01:49] taofd: Could be an unsupported sensor chip [01:49] tenshinoneko: I'd suggest not touching it when it works [01:49] this was the same issue with karamic too Tartaros thats why we upgraded hoping it would be better [01:49] its the same [01:49] olskolirc: also, is that lucid ? well, meet me over there, then [01:50] tartaros: so i should leave the .ubuntu-domain the same then? ^^ [01:50] !lucid [01:50] 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 [01:50] olskolirc: well can you not use the driver? [01:50] we uninstalled it Tartaros but we can't bring up the driver config to pick another driver from the command line, any suggestings? [01:51] whats the lucid channel DasEi ? [01:51] I don't have any problems with my lucid so far [01:51] olskolirc: see above, #ubuntu+1 [01:51] <[_miT_]> olskolirc: keyword: so far [01:51] oh yes im there DasEi [01:51] reconfigure X or some such [01:52] how to give .ttf the correct rights? [01:52] <[_miT_]> shazbotmcnasty: chmod? [01:52] chmod [01:53] anyone knows how to lock an account after auto-log in? [01:53] DasEi, yes it was working find now though [01:53] <[_miT_]> shazbotmcnasty: could chmod 777, but that would be totally unsecure (very un-linux of me) [01:53] Yeah, true [01:54] meowbuntu-away: it works now , and you want to re-check the fs ? or view the syslog ? [01:54] Note to self: Don't ever type /who #ubuntu [01:54] * [_miT_] takes note [01:55] dj_segfault, i'm on an acer aspire, it's an atom proc ... it seems like whenever i go above 63C my computer shuts down / crashes... i was wondering if the two were related [01:55] <[_miT_]> Is there a way to load balance connections? (Say WLAN and LAN) [01:55] i cant get the software center to work, i already used 'sudo apt-get update' with no success [01:56] <[_miT_]> MgMt: Applications -> Ubuntu Software Center? [01:56] yeah [01:56] <[_miT_]> MgMt: version? 9.10? [01:56] yep [01:56] fresh install and updated [01:56] taofd: Hmm. From what I've seen when it says 63C that means it's not reading the sensor, but maybe your case is different. What program are you reading the temp with? [01:56] Some one can help me, because when to start my pc all my personal file are copied to my desktop [01:56] <[_miT_]> MgMt: what happens when you attempt to launch it? [01:56] it opens but it says 0 items at the bottom [01:57] Anyone know how I can stop the radeon driver from being loaded with a kernel parameter? I tried radeon.blacklist=yes, but briefly saw a message about an unknown option or something [01:57] how can to lock the file not copy when a reboot the pc [01:57] <[_miT_]> MgMt: from within Software Center -> Edit -> Software Sources [01:57] when I'm forcing logrotate the server starts using access.log.1 file instead of access.log http://dpaste.com/168870/ [01:58] any idea what I'm doing wrong? [01:58] hello [01:58] dj_segfault, i'm using lm-sensors [01:58] [_miT_] what do i do in there? [01:58] hi all... I just installed w3m under Karmic and am finding that it is not able to open URLs. Are other people experiencing this problem? [01:58] <[_miT_]> MgMt: ensure Main, Universe, Restricted and Multiverse is checked [01:58] i donno im new to this whole thing [01:58] bencc: Use a wildcard of *.log, not * That happened to me too [01:59] [_miT_] what are those? [01:59] <[_miT_]> dj_segfault: best dj name, EVAR [01:59] [_miT_]: Thanks. I used to DJ, so it was a natural [01:59] <[_miT_]> MgMt: those are the servers your PC contacts for software packages and updates [01:59] [_miT_] i dont see those options [02:00] dj_segfault: that's what I'm using: http://dpaste.com/168870/ isn't it? [02:00] <[_miT_]> dj_segfault: i just go by Dj Tim, or just Tim. lol [02:00] bencc: it's probably that the server isn't being properly notified that it needs to close its existing file handles and reopen the file. i'd double-check your post-rotate command [02:00] <[_miT_]> dj_segfault: minimal-techno, downtempo, electro, ect [02:00] <[_miT_]> MgMt: which options? [02:00] bencc: Looks right for me. [02:01] brjann: is it possible that I need to put sudo in the postrotate command? [02:01] <[_miT_]> MgMt: did you get to the software sources window? [02:01] [_miT_] the main universe restricted and multiverse [02:01] yes [02:01] what script/program is used by ubuntu installer to generate fstab? [02:01] [_miT_] now i see it, those were all checked [02:01] bencc: no, logrotate runs as root i think, so you should be okay [02:01] <[_miT_]> MgMt: on that first tab 'Ubuntu Software', there are check boxes for them [02:01] when i try to view a png in firefox, view it directly, it tries to open in another app, can i have FF just display the png itself? [02:01] dj_segfault: should it work when forcing rotate with: 'sudo logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.conf' ? [02:02] <[_miT_]> MgMt: ok then close both software sources and software center [02:02] <[_miT_]> MgMt: System -> Administration -> Update manager [02:02] [_miT_] ok [02:02] i need a reccomendation for a great file sync app. I don't need it as a backup program, but rather will compare two folders and their contents and show me the differences so i can reconsile them as i like [02:02] <[_miT_]> MgMt: hit check, make sure you're hitting the sources we have checked [02:02] brjann: when running manually kill -USR1 `cat /usr/local/nginx/logs/nginx.pid` it works fine [02:03] <[_miT_]> MgMt: i.e. Main, Universe, ect [02:03] what's option a should to desacctivate because all my personal file when a reboot the pc show me on the desktop [02:03] anyone? when i try to view a png in firefox, view it directly, it tries to open in another app, can i have FF just display the png itself? [02:03] bencc: meaning that it switches back to the real log file when you SIGUSR1 it manually? [02:03] [_miT_] it says i updated less than an hour ago [02:03] skrite: man diff [02:03] brjann: yes [02:03] <[_miT_]> MgMt: thats fine, check it again [02:03] i did, it didnt do anything [02:04] DasEi, thanks [02:04] mohadib_: this depends on what mime type is the http server telling your browser the png file is [02:04] bencc: That looks right but I'm not a logrotate expert. I just know when I did * instead of *.log I ended up with tens of thousands of files in the log directory after a few months [02:04] <[_miT_]> MgMt: :/ you didnt see the update window hit the servers? [02:04] what do you mean hit the servers? [02:04] bencc: It took over half an hour to delete them all [02:04] <[_miT_]> MgMt: "Download package information" [02:04] dj_segfault: sound like fun [02:05] <[_miT_]> MgMt: you'll see it checking the server sources we have checked (Main, Restricted, ect) [02:05] Tartaros: hmm, cant you tell? http://grab.by/grabs/b3b1211cabb2d1df709ce8be94c8ba71.png [02:05] can* [02:05] yeah [02:05] <[_miT_]> MgMt: ok close the update manager [02:06] <[_miT_]> MgMt: lauch terminal (yay) [02:06] <[_miT_]> MgMt: type: sudo apt-get purge software-center [02:06] <[_miT_]> MgMt: then: sudo apt-get install software-center [02:06] hallo [02:06] register [02:06] <[_miT_]> MgMt: btw, Softare center is kinda for the newbs, you should really use the Synaptic package manager ;) [02:06] is chrome or opera faster in ubuntu [02:06] sorry [02:07] ANYONE HAS System-> Administration -> Networking so they can tell me the command under properties? [02:07] <[_miT_]> HowardtheDuck: Chrome is called Chormium on linux [02:07] HowardtheDuck: tias? [02:07] <[_miT_]> HowardtheDuck: and its faster than anything ive ever seen ;) [02:07] bencc: hm, I'm stumped. I don't see anything wrong [02:07] i am a bit of a newb lol [02:07] <[_miT_]> MgMt: ahh ok then :) [02:07] plus i cant remember half the names of what im looking for === usrponcho is now known as man8 [02:07] ANYONE HAS System-> Administration -> Networking so they can tell me the command under properties? [02:07] <[_miT_]> MgMt: you can search the packages within Synaptic Pacakge Manager [02:08] that did it, thanks! [02:08] <[_miT_]> MgMt: if we could search them it would be a big headache, lol [02:08] isix : would be under preferences, command is nm-connection-editor [02:08] (Network Connections), isix [02:08] brjann: thanks. I'll ask on the nginx mailing list [02:08] [_miT_], chrome is chrome in linux to? [02:09] get it from google and it's chrome? [02:09] Does anyone know anything about dev-mapper? I have a machine that /used/ to have lvm on it, which I did a reinstall without lvm, but my drives are still listed under /dev/mapper, and now it won't let me format the unused drive because "One or more block devices are holding /dev/mapper/nvidia_efffjahb" [02:09] maxjezy: chromium-browser [02:09] <[_miT_]> maxjezy: no, chrome (the web browser) is called chromium on linux [02:09] bencc: they have a channel here on freenode, #nginx [02:09] brjann: ok [02:09] chrome is freeware and chromium is open source [02:09] [_miT_], actually there is both Chromium and Google Chrome for linux [02:10] <[_miT_]> ZykoticK9: im refering to the browser [02:10] http://www.google.com/chrome/ [02:10] maxjezy: ubottu: You can get testing builds for Chromium at https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/ppa [02:10] mit thanks :) [02:10] <[_miT_]> np [02:10] i just installed it [02:10] [_miT_], me too! there are 2 of them: 1) Chromium and 2) Google Chrome they are different packages [02:10] <[_miT_]> w00t! [02:10] <[_miT_]> enjoy :D [02:10] <[_miT_]> ZykoticK9: lies! [02:10] thanks dasEi [02:11] i use the chrome package [02:11] but it's built on chromium i guess [02:11] i dont want network connections i want networking [02:12] I am having some problems adding myself to groups in Ubuntu. I posted in the Ubuntu forums here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1423543 [02:14] I want to start a new x-session on another tty, and use awesome instead of gnome. How to achieve this? [02:14] would there be any way to test your external line speed from the commandline? [02:14] <[_miT_]> m0ar: thats crazy talk [02:15] <[_miT_]> m0ar: but i like it :) never actually ran two desktop managers at once [02:16] [_miT_]: Not crazy at all, but I want it :D [02:16] Do i seriously have to run it in virtualbox? x( [02:16] can anyone help me getting livecd-tools installed ? [02:16] i need to make a fedora usb disk that i can install from instead of the DVD [02:17] <[_miT_]> m0ar: you can install it and pick the desktop manager you want to login with @ the login screen [02:17] <[_miT_]> darkex: sudo apt-get install iftop [02:17] schnitzel: use unetbootin for that [02:17] <[_miT_]> DasEi: schnitzel: i second that :) unetbootin is awesome [02:18] <[_miT_]> its the only way i can get anything installed on my netbook :/ [02:18] darkex: you talk about the d/l speed ? [02:19] m0ar, you can use the command gdmflexiserver to start another xorg session, BUT you need 2 user names (it won't let you log in as same user twice) [02:19] DasEi: just the link/burst speed externally, yeah [02:19] i cant use unetbootin to create a fedora usb [02:19] it dosent work for the DVD [02:19] <[_miT_]> DasEi: darkex: iftop is nice for a terminal/graphical display of your network interfaces [02:19] hi... linux noob here... just installed Ubuntu 9.10 on a new computer and I have no sound.... I know the onboard sound chip is working (I dual-boot with Windows 7 and sound works). Can anyone help? I can't really offer too much in exchange since I'm very new to Linux [02:19] <[_miT_]> DasEi: darkex: i guess you could run lynx or wget a large file and check the DL speed [02:19] [_miT_]: Not good enough [02:19] ZykoticK9: D'aww :c [02:19] anyone has network-manager .7 or .6 ? [02:20] wow craig [02:20] wow? [02:20] craig: Go to a terminal, type in "alsamixer" [02:20] darkex: there testfiles easily to be found on the net, being well served, can use scp or rsync with -P (progress) option, will show you file, and if I remember right, ethtoll.. well not sure for the moment [02:20] ok [02:20] <[_miT_]> hows craigslist going craig? (lol) [02:20] craig: Max all channels [02:20] craig: use "tab" to find more of them [02:21] k thanks [02:21] craig: It's probably just a output that's muted or something. So go put on sound from a mediaplayer or w/e and play around in alsamixer [02:21] in alsamixer now... looking around, thanks... I'll let you know what I find [02:21] <[_miT_]> m0ar: should be pulseaudio (shudder), not alsa [02:21] i need help with installing livecd-tools [02:21] [_miT_]: Well, yeah [02:22] anyone know if there are plans to fix the issue with menus not being resizable to fit a netbook monitor? [02:22] Darkex: no sorry, ethtool doesn't provide that [02:22] in 10.04 [02:22] ugh, my system just crashed, where would I go to see a log of what caused my system to crash? [02:22] [_miT_]: We people with a sense of logic have purged pulse a long time ago [02:22] <[_miT_]> nmcintyre: have you tried the Netbook remix release? its designed for that [02:22] yah, i have [02:22] but therea re still menus [02:22] <[_miT_]> nmcintyre: but i recommend crunchbang linux on netbooks, I LOVE IT. [02:22] that are not resizable [02:22] nmcintyre: Remove some entries [02:22] or scrollable [02:22] nmcintyre: :D [02:23] nmcintyre, ubuntu UNR is nice, but some dialogs still wont display correctly (thunderbird) [02:24] <[_miT_]> m0ar: true :0 [02:24] ok no sound is muted and everything in alsamixer that makes sense, like master, is up to the top of the slider [02:24] [_miT_]: Only causes eternal suffering and immense pain. Alsa all the way! [02:24] craig: Checked everything? [02:25] <[_miT_]> m0ar: ripping out pulseaudio was step 1 for my fresh install :) [02:25] anyone know? [02:25] Some doesn't make sense, but still have a card in the deck [02:25] whats wrong with pulse? [02:25] Tartaros: Can't put my finger on it, but hell [02:25] Tartaros: It doesn't work nearly as well as alsa [02:25] <[_miT_]> Tartaros: nothing, usually. but i, along with many others, have a lot of problems with it [02:25] In my movie players, if I select alsa for audio, it keeps getting stuck, whereas with pulse it's ok... [02:26] Tartaros: Small bugs, doesn't work as it should [02:26] yup checked everything, no sound still [02:26] <[_miT_]> Tartaros: when it works, it works wonderfully. but when it doesnt, its the worst thing in the world. [02:26] craig, turn up volume to 150 % and i think it will work [02:26] will empathy still be included in lucid [02:26] Tartaros: Since you HAVE pulse. Remove it, and alsa works well [02:26] Alan502: Yes [02:26] maxjezy: Wtf? [02:26] m0ar: interesting theory. how does one remove pulse anyway? [02:26] Tartaros: purge pulseaudio [02:26] m0ar, it's a bug, many people have it that i heard of [02:26] m0ar: pulse is not be compared to alsa, as it acts as a sound-proxy, not s-system ( like oss or alsa) [02:27] and where lies the future, alsa or pulse? or something else? [02:27] yeah its at 150% .... interesting, maybe unrelated... I dont have a mic but in sound preferences the input level is flashing [02:27] DasEi: Still causes trouble, irrelevant what it really is. What is a baldrog? Not really sure, but it hell screwws things up [02:28] what's option I should to desactivate in the desktop, because all my personal file when a reboot the pc show me on the desktop [02:28] somebody knows? [02:28] craig, did it do the trick? [02:28] <[_miT_]> tony_: that doesnt make sense :( wish i could help [02:28] no it didnt [02:28] m0ar: different experiences on my side, but I had to get the idea of pulse first, too, was also confused as it appears in one line with alsa, oss [02:28] okey [02:28] mit ok [02:28] i imagine this is very unlikely but is there anyway to send a wake up ping to a ubuntu computer that is shutdown? [02:28] then i have no idea [02:28] mit when I restar my pc [02:29] <[_miT_]> knottydreads87: thats called "wake on lan". your mobo has to support it [02:29] "eah its at 150% .... interesting, maybe unrelated... I dont have a mic but in sound preferences the input level is flashing" just in case it flashed by too quick [02:29] all the file in my user it is in my desktop [02:29] tony_: Explain. [02:29] [_miT_], oh, thats right. i'll see if my mobo does [02:29] What do I need to do to add ident2 to init.d? [02:29] ok [02:30] I have my desktop clear [02:30] and when I restar my pc my desktop in full of file [02:30] <[_miT_]> tony_: what files? [02:30] the file of my home [02:31] user [02:31] ok well, thanks very much for trying ... I appreciate it... I think I may have to learn a bit more about ubuntu if I hope to have sound [02:31] you undestand what I mean? [02:31] <[_miT_]> tony_: sounds like something you installed is dumping those files there. very strange. i would create a second "test user" account and see if they get the files dumped onto the desktop as well [02:32] ok [02:32] is there a way to get watch (/usr/bin/watch) output in color? e.g. $watch -n5 ls --color <--doesnt work for me. [02:32] <[_miT_]> a359: thats a great idea :) [02:33] rephrase my question: Does /usr/bin/watch have color support? [02:34] [_miT_], lets assume by mobo has wake up on lan enabled. how do you initiate the the wake up? [02:34] <[_miT_]> a359: i recall playing with a terminal that had color support for logs and such, but i dont remember the name of it :( [02:34] <[_miT_]> knottydreads87: thats something you have to research for your mobo, i honestly have never set that up before. [02:34] [_miT_]: yeah I was wondering if this is a terminal issue or what. I tried a few differnt ones, no luck. [02:35] [_miT_], thanks! it does seem like something kinda complicated [02:35] <[_miT_]> knottydreads87: the concept is pretty simple, you send a "knocking" packet to the mobo and it turns itself on [02:36] <[_miT_]> knottydreads87: when your box is powered off, you'll notice that the LAN link light is still active. its basically listening for that "knocking" packet [02:36] [_miT_], yes i have seen that [02:36] <[_miT_]> knottydreads87: my DD-WRT router has an option for Wake on lan (WOL) [02:36] <[_miT_]> knottydreads87: i might have to experiment with that :) [02:36] [_miT_], looks like you do it on the IP and MAC address [02:37] does anyone know where the Xchat logs are kept? [02:37] <[_miT_]> knottydreads87: indeed [02:37] How can I convert many text files to PDF at once ( into a single PDF document or one PDF file for one text file) ? I've got some 200 separate text files I need to print to PDF. [02:37] <[_miT_]> look: check in ~/.xchat [02:38] [_miT_], thanks [02:39] <[_miT_]> look: np === Colrol is now known as Rolcol [02:40] hi [02:41] a359, you talking console terminal or xterminal in a windowmanager? [02:42] I interrupted the Ubuntu install process by shutting down the computer during its file copy stage. Since then, the HDD I tried to install it on reports as full, even thuogh it was empty. I can't make partitions on it in Gparted (liveCD), the only option is "unmount" (even though it's not mounted) which gives me an error. How can I completely format/restore that drive? [02:42] <[_miT_]> Souperf: whoa, you cant delete and recreate the partitions? [02:43] mit: nope, the only option is Unmount, but as I said, it's not even mounted. I've tried booting the LivdCD several times. [02:43] <[_miT_]> Souperf: you can try to unmount from terminal, maybe gparted is being lazy ;) [02:43] Colonel_Panik: i'm not sure what you mean. I use uxterms mostly. But I tried also in xterm and gnome-terminal with the same result. === ybeddyj is now known as Guest35209 [02:43] I tried that. As I said it's not mounting. It doesn't show up in "mount" [02:44] *mounting = mounted [02:44] where can i get liveusb-creator for ubuntu? [02:44] schnitzel: if you have Ubuntu already installed, you can create a USB LiveCD from System > Adminitration > USB Startup Disk [02:45] thanks, does that work with other distros too? [02:45] <[_miT_]> schnitzel: or you can use unetbootin + iso [02:45] sorry, I don't know [02:45] a359, a console terminal to me means what you get when you hit control-alt-F2 for example. [02:45] Random question - is there a way to determine the total average color that is on my screen? For instance, if a movie is playing and theres a mostly blue screen, i can call this program/function/system call and get what color blue? [02:45] <[_miT_]> schnitzel: unetbootin will handle any distro, since you're pointing to an iso [02:46] it dosent work, ive tried and ive been told on #fedora that using unetbootin to make a live usb from the fedora DVD does not work [02:46] Colonel_Panik: ah. ok, no I am talking about inside X. [02:47] <[_miT_]> schnitzel: i've never had unetbootin not work for me :( [02:47] schnitzel: news to me. tried myself witht the cd, works [02:47] . [02:47] i wanna try it with the DVD [02:48] schnitzel: if you need a DVD to install a linux distro something is terribly wrong [02:48] (imho) [02:48] really? [02:48] schnitzel: one "secret is to have the usb formatted properly before, and then give it few minutes, though app says finished, then cleanly unmount usb [02:49] the fedora dvd, is that terribly wrong ? :( [02:49] schnitzel: if dvd borks, why not use the cd then ? [02:49] i'm installing via usb [02:49] is that wrong [02:49] yes / no [02:49] ddrj: no [02:49] Anyone ever save pictures from a digi camera to a usb directly (no computer). [02:50] because im stubborn [02:50] schnitzel: i guess so : ) [02:50] Hi I keep getting "iptables: No chain/target/match by that name" when trying to do iptables -I INPUT 6 -m limit --limit 5/min -j LOG --log-prefix "iptables denied: " --log-level 7 [02:50] ok good [02:50] <[_miT_]> mcurran: yeah they have "wifi" sd cards for that [02:50] mcurran, does that relate to Ubuntu? [02:50] a359, couldn't you set up a color profile in gnome-terminal and call up gnome-terminal--window-with-profile=mycrazycolors [02:50] the INPUT chain exists [02:50] mit: I did as you suggested. Manually deleting the partition using fdisk made Gparted work with it. [02:50] <[_miT_]> Souperf: nice!!

[03:09] backtrack0001: important is to have the stick formatted properly before, fat 16 or 32 often on that size [03:09] DasEi: yeah the instructions say to make a 1.5gb partition in vfat and the remainder on drive in ext3 [03:09] HowardtheDuck: ive seen somd guides/forums on tweaking the order wth grub2 - that may be easier [03:09] HowardtheDuck: if it's just the order, checkout /etc/default/grub [03:10] a359, xterm works with blue and white and watch for me what are you running with watch?

[04:55] Ok thanks [04:55] hatake_kakashi: It is completely blank btw [04:55] khider, well you weren't making it clear at start [04:55] hatake_kakashi: Sorry, it is completely blank [04:55] khider, apparently the disk isn't [04:56] hatake_kakashi: The tera-byte is blank [04:56] hatake_kakashi: How do you suggest I proceed? [04:56] khider, it isn't, there's a partition table setup for it [04:57] khider, look at your output of fdisk -l and tell me that /dev/sdb isn't blank [04:57] hatake_kakashi: Okay, I was trying to format it but I guess I screwed up. [04:57] khider, and what are your intentions with that spare terabyte hard disk? use it as a whole and start clean? [04:58] so it keeps freezing on 33% of the format, and my scroll andcaps lock keep flashing.. [04:58] hatake_kakashi: The 64G ss drive is for my OS and I want the terabyte for /home [04:58] o/ [04:58] khider, so the terabyte you want to assign one big partition as home? [04:59] hatake_kakashi: Yesh, is it possible? [04:59] is there a gnome equivalent to kooldock? [04:59] khider, yes, you'll need to wipe the existing partition table of that /dev/sdb and to recreate one partition as ext3 [05:00] aperson: what's kooldock¿¿ a dock¿¿ [05:01] xangua, yes, though all it does is launch application (which is what I want) [05:01] aperson: you want a dock or a laucnher¿¿ [05:01] gnome do is a dock and a launcher [05:02] what up everyone [05:02] i had a question..... but i just forgot it [05:02] there are also docky 2, cairo dock, avant window navigator (this uses a lot of ram) [05:04] resolved https://aptanastudio.tenderapp.com/faqs/problem-solving/aptana-studio-radrails-and-ubuntu-910 [05:05] oh well i can't boot :( [05:05] how can i reinstall a packages configuration files? [05:05] <[_miT_]> adante: dpkg-reconfigure [05:05] any ideas on why this ide disk is showing up as scsi sda? [05:05] i see ubuntu logo and it hangs.. it's weird i can boot from usb thumb drive with sdhci.blacklist=yes [05:06] [_miT_]: thanks [05:06] <[_miT_]> adante: np [05:06] xangua, well, I suppose a launcher would be a better description, I've tried using a panel that autohides for one, but it's not quiet what I want [05:07] don't forget, people, that even in the next version of Ubuntu, you'll still be able to simply run the following command in order to make it look and feel like a real operating system: gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/general/button_layout --type string ":minimize,maximize,close" :) [05:07] [_miT_]: is there a way i can list what files are installed from a dpkg-reconfigure? === ce_muaniest__ is now known as ce_sanyyy [05:08] jo-erlend, ubuntu tweak can change it as well [05:08] <[_miT_]> adante: i usually just use locate "name" for that, i know thats probably not the best method, but it works, lol === ce_sanyyy is now known as ce_sanyyyeees [05:08] aperson, as long as everyone knows Ubuntu isn't only for left-hand users. [05:09] hatake_kakashi: Okay, how do I wipe my tera-byte clean because I am paranoid I will wipe my 64G drive in the process [05:09] [_miT_]: i am trying to run dpkg-reconfigure asterisk - when there is no /etc/asterisk dir, it complains there is no /etc/asterisk dir.. but when there is it doesn't put anything inside [05:09] woot!!! I am l33t!!!! [05:09] why is this ide drive showing up as scsi?? [05:09] irssi is super duper cool!!!! [05:09] <[_miT_]> adante: sounds like you need to install it first [05:09] <[_miT_]> Aeronius: indeed [05:10] ShadeS, why do you say that? [05:10] khider, I wouldn't worry about sanity, a simple editing of partition tables, delete all partitions on that disk, create one partition and simply let gparted run its process === ce_muaniest_ is now known as ce_sany === ce_sany is now known as ce_sanny [05:10] [_miT_]: dpkg -s asterisk says it is installed? is there a second level of installation i need to perform? [05:11] helllllo [05:11] <[_miT_]> adante: thats odd. are there conf files you want to keep? why not just purge and do a fresh install? [05:11] I got a quick question that I hope someone can answer [05:11] <[_miT_]> fek: just ask [05:11] ShadeS: Linux uses SCSI emulation on IDE drives. Has done for years now. [05:11] ShadeS, /dev/sdx is used by libata as well, so ide drives will also use it. There is no /dev/hdx anymore. [05:11] [_miT_]: i did purge, and then i installed, and /etc/asterisk is empty, and then i ran dpkg-reconfigure asterisk, and it is still empty [05:11] because when i look at the motherboard it's clearly a 40pin connected to IDE1 yet thew disk partitioner reads SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda) 61.5 GB ATA ic35L060AVER07-0 === mf2_ is now known as mf2 [05:11] oh [05:11] how do i install 190 nvidia drivers? [05:12] <[_miT_]> adante: are you positive that the asterisk package uses /etc/ ? [05:12] why is it freezing on at 33% then? [05:12] racerd, through hardware drivers [05:12] how can I blacklist sdhci? it looks like once i install from livecd, sdhci.blacklist=yes is not valid [05:12] I have a friend who has a macbook and it took a dive on her....I have her hard drive hooked up to my box and can see her stuff but it says I dont have the correct permissions to access her folder? [05:12] only 185 is available [05:12] [_miT_]: nope, i am not, that is why i was asking if there was a way of telling what dpkg-reconfigure did [05:12] How can I remedy this...I tried to go into permissions but that doesnt give me an option [05:13] saml, you'll need to access your ubuntu installation and manually add blacklist sdhci [05:13] [_miT_]: of course i'm still not sure why dpkg-reconfigure would complain about no /etc/asterisk directory and then not do anything when there was one [05:13] hatake_kakashi: Okay, it is wiped--what is teh next step? [05:13] i downloaded 190 and it is a .run [05:13] <[_miT_]> adante: have you tried 'man asterisk' yet? [05:13] where do i throw that to have the hardware drivers app find it? [05:13] <[_miT_]> adante: might have further documentation on setup, folders, ect [05:14] khider, try mounting it if you can, copy your /home contents across and edit your /etc/fstab [05:14] [_miT_]: well i have used asterisk in other distros, it uses /etc/asterisk, i don't know about ubuntu [05:14] hatake_kakashi: i mounted /dev/sda1 from livecd and chroot ed to /mnt/sda1 [05:14] which file do I edit? [05:14] saml, /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf [05:14] hatake_kakashi: how do I label it /home? [05:14] soooo what do with this .run file to install the drivers? [05:15] racerd, I wouldn't recommend doing that [05:15] hatake_kakashi: thanks [05:15] racerd: have you tried 'envy' ¿¿ [05:15] recommend doing what? [05:15] khider, you don't need to label it, specifying it in mount is more than enough [05:15] envy? [05:15] <[_miT_]> adante: have you tried 'locate asterisk' to see where all its files are? [05:15] for installing nvidia or ati drivers [05:16] racerd, recommend installing it manually, if you screw it up in the process you may not be able to gain further support from here [05:16] <[_miT_]> adante: ive had to reboot sometimes for locate to see newly installed files tho [05:16] hmmm [05:16] so i should use envy? [05:17] is xubuntu recommended? is there something lighter? [05:17] [_miT_]: yeah uh, heh [05:17] saml: lubuntu, still beta [05:17] !envy > racerd [05:17] racerd, please see my private message [05:17] what is the module i need to install to monitor cpu temperature? [05:17] xangua: thanks let me check it out [05:17] saml, I personally use xubuntu, its not that much lighter but its more clean imo [05:17] saml: there is also fluxbuntu, but it looks abandoned [05:18] <[_miT_]> saml: i have crunchbang linux installed on my low end boxes, LOVE IT. [05:18] yah i tried crunchbang it's almost perfect for me but it's 9.04 [05:18] !sensors | johnjohn101 check out this page [05:18] johnjohn101 check out this page: To access CPU temperature sensors and detect fan speeds, install the lm-sensors package. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto for installation and usage instructions. [05:18] whats the Point in light if features you want are missing. :) [05:18] <[_miT_]> saml: jinx :) [05:18] You can always just install openbox or whatever and use that if you wanted. [05:18] ok so if i wish to install the nvidia 190 drivers [05:18] what is the best route i should take? [05:18] Dr_Willis, you could simply use console and do away without GUI :) and don't forget about ratpoison [05:19] racerd, if you want support, forget 190, if you want to do this alone, get envy [05:19] ah [05:19] why didn't you say that before [05:19] oh well netbook remix needs some work.. livecd works but when i installed and finally booted after editing /etc/modprob.d/blacklist.conf, mouse does not work :P [05:19] speaking of support [05:19] racerd, I did but you were getting carried away about envy [05:20] uhmmmmm [05:20] hatake_kakashi: i try hard to forget about ratpoision and other similer things [05:20] red in the memtest means bad rght? [05:20] Dr_Willis, lol [05:20] keyboard does not work either :( [05:20] <[_miT_]> ShadeS: yes :) [05:20] <[_miT_]> lol [05:20] ShadeS: proberly [05:20] Could someone direct me to a recent manual for properly setting up adodb? [05:20] you said in code or something, no one told me this is only supporting 185 drivers in this channel [05:20] any case [05:20] how can tell what bank? [05:20] mIT...did you happen to see my question? [05:21] my speakers on my laptop don't have sound, just my headphone jack [05:21] <[_miT_]> fek: i did not, sir [05:21] Ubuntu tends to follow a 6 mo. release cycle. so the latest versions of stuff is not always the 'supported' version [05:21] I have a friend who has a macbook and it took a dive on her....I have her hard drive hooked up to my box and can see her stuff but it says I dont have the correct permissions to access her folder? [05:21] <[_miT_]> fek: you have the HFS packages installed? [05:21] racerd, no it varies depending on which distro version you use, I'm on xubuntu 9.04 and the only last nvidia driver I have is 180 or 175 [05:21] I can see the drive and the folders [05:21] fek: mount it with the proper options, or use sudo user/method to access the files [05:21] <[_miT_]> fek: HFS is the file system apple uses [05:22] <[_miT_]> fek: ah ok, then you're already there :) [05:22] Hello! Does anyone would help me solve the VirtualBox USB problem in Lucid Lynx alpha 3? [05:22] I just cant access her photos, music and such [05:22] yeah i figured that [05:22] !lucid | jiehan [05:22] jiehan: 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 [05:22] it is saying that I dont have the correct permissions [05:22] and I tried to change them but cant [05:22] hatake_kakashi: I am trying to automount it, but still have to supply a password, as for my fstab, what is there to edit? [05:22] does anybody know if hte asterisk package on 9.10 is supposed to work? [05:22] fek, its possible that its different ownership of files [05:22] fek: then use the root user to access the files [05:22] yes [05:22] what should i do about my sound issue? [05:23] that is what it is telling me [05:23] so do I have to log out and log into root? [05:23] are there some drivers out there i can get my hands on? or am i stuck with that as well? [05:23] i am trying to get a driver for my wmp300n i do not have a internet connection on this computer or a ubuntu cd [05:23] what do i do [05:23] <[_miT_]> adante: have you thought about compiling it from source? the package in the repos might be dated. [05:23] khider, the specifying passwd most likely means that only root can mount block devices which is typical.. as for fstab, you'll need to add an entry for that newly created disk to be /home.. think about it [05:24] hatake_kakashi: Okay, makes sense [05:24] fek, you don't have to, you can simply use sudo and then chown [05:24] hatake_kakashi: Thanks, I will. [05:24] I dont know how to do that [05:24] [_miT_]: yeah i used to, that's what i did in 8.10, but i upgraded and it blew up, so i figured why not use the package management system to manage my packages [05:24] I am noobie [05:24] to the core here [05:24] BOOOO bad memory [05:24] racerd, there's a new version of ubuntu out but that's only if you want to stick more close to the bleeding edge side of ubuntu [05:24] [_miT_]: i'm a bit crazy, i guess i make stupid assumptions about packages in apt working, heh [05:24] i need a driver for wmp 300n i do not have the internet on this computer or a ubuntu dvd [05:25] fek, well you'll need to use terminal for most of that to be honest [05:25] is it pretty simple? [05:25] yeah i know, but i really just want to fix my sound [05:25] or rather hard? [05:25] i was asking if that was an option with 9.10 or not [05:25] markd, do you have a spare network cable that you could plug it into the computer? or somehow share a network connection? [05:25] I have my terminal up right now [05:26] fek, initially it'll probably be a little hard but once you get used to it, its pretty easy [05:26] racerd, I'm sure the nvidia driver is only for video, not for sound [05:26] any place for some documentation...or can you lead me through it? [05:26] for the love of god [05:26] fek: install 'mc' use 'sudo mc' for a file manager.. in mc use Fkeys to do differnt things [05:26] fek: the drive is in /media/ somewhere [05:27] fek, http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fileowner.html [05:27] i am well aware that the nvidia drivers have nothing to do with my sound [05:27] racerd: unless you got an nvidia sound card. :) [05:27] hatake_kakashi: What seems to be happening is that I am making new directories, but leaving the tera-byte untouched. I cannot make the OS use the tera-byte as part of the drives that don't need to be mounted [05:27] no i don't === ybeddyj is now known as Guest25802 [05:27] ....... [05:28] soundstorm was awesome. [05:28] i miss the nforce2. [05:28] hatake_kakashi: All my changes to the fstab do not affect the tera-byte [05:28] anyone have any ideas on my issue? trying to get a driver for wmp300n do not have internet on that computer or ubuntu disk [05:28] i just want to know if there is anything i can do to get the speakers on my laptop to work [05:28] hey guys, how do you start up logrotate.. ? [05:28] so its always running [05:29] <[_miT_]> tongueroo: you can add it to cron jobs, or create a rc.d for it [05:29] I thought logrotage was ran by cron allready every so often [05:29] hatake_kakashi: Perhaps a re-install is the best way to fix it and specify during the install process? [05:29] <[_miT_]> Dr_Willis: tongueroo: that could be the case too [05:30] ive never touched logrotate. and my logs get archived. :) [05:30] <[_miT_]> Dr_Willis: same :) [05:30] so in terminal I do this $ chown fek /media/d41f6a62-53ce-3b65-bf77-fd3d5c752e4c [05:30] anyone? [05:30] right? [05:30] Hi, is there a quick way to display any disk drive problems in xubuntu? [05:30] <[_miT_]> markd: i have the same card!!! [05:30] im trying to get a driver for my wmp300n do not have internet on that computer or ubuntu cd [05:30] fek: depending on the filesystem in use. that may or may NOT work., [05:30] <[_miT_]> markd: it worked back on 7.10, but hasnt worked since [05:30] NOT being a bad thing? [05:31] <[_miT_]> markd: ive been meaning to go back and see what they were using for it, but havent had the chance [05:31] or it just wont work === mylogic_ is now known as mylogic [05:31] fek: i allreayd suggested using 'sudo mc' as a file manager that runs as root to access the files [05:31] i have a ra2860 wireless chipset and ra2860 drivers from the repositories. now what? [05:31] I dont know how to get that [05:31] is anyone here using wmp300n [05:31] fek: you cant change permissions/ownership on the fly with ntfs/vfat/ and other non linux type filesystems === mf2_ is now known as mf2 [05:31] I am sorry...really cherry here [05:31] !anyone | markd [05:31] markd: 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? [05:32] fek: or you could CAREFULLY run nautilus file manager as root with 'gkduso nautilus /media/whateverthat#was' [05:32] fek: then copy the stuff somewhere [05:32] be sure to CLOSE that nautilus window when done. [05:32] ok..I can try that [05:33] This is why i susggested the mc file manager.. a little safer that way [05:33] I will search for the mc file manager instead [05:33] fek: sudo apt-get install mc [05:33] then 'sudo mc' [05:33] Dr_Willis: he could always remount that drive read-only [05:33] Anyone here know an easy way to add another hard drive to a computer and have it automounted? [05:34] Forest gump it to me [05:34] khider: trivial.. add a proper entry in the /etc/fstab [05:34] !mount [05:34] mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [05:34] !fstab [05:34] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system.

[05:35] Dr_Willis: Can I show you what I have and you can correct it? [05:35] hello, does anyone know what a troll in the cyber world is? [05:35] khider: you can pastebin your fstab for us to look at if you want.. and output of 'sudo fdisk -l' [05:35] <[_miT_]> Mike-G: usually control that with my amp. would love to find out if you can [05:36] !troll [05:36] trolling / trollish behaviour is behaviour that is considered annoying by other channel users, this includes going offtopic, asking the same question time and again getting answered and not acknowledging the answer, and these are not the only ways behaviour can be considered trolling, please see /msg ubottu guidelines - if this applies to you, you may find yourself outside the channel [05:36] Dr_Willis: http://pastebin.ca/1826329 [05:36] there used to be bass/treble control in an older version of Ubuntu I remember [05:36] khider: so what one is having the issue? [05:37] does anyone know anything about DVR's [05:37] Dr_Willis: http://pastebin.ca/1826333 [05:37] <[_miT_]> todd_: you should check out mythubuntu [05:37] todd_: they exist.. :) care to be more specific? [05:37] Dr_Willis: I want the tera-byte to be mounted (it is a blank disk) [05:38] khider: you mean /dev/sdb ? 1000.2 Gb? [05:38] <[_miT_]> khider: Dr_Willis: easiest way is probably with gparted, you can format it as EXT3 or 4 and mount it [05:38] khider: its not even partioned.. you must partion it and put a filesystem on it [05:38] Dr_Willis: Yeah [05:38] Dr_Willis: ...should I preserve attributes when copying the directory over? [05:38] khider: use gparted. [05:39] fek: Depends on what the fs is and what data is on it. and what fs you are copying it to [05:39] Dr_Willis: I formatted it--it says tera-byte but only 931 G is available, what happened tp 70G [05:40] khider: fdisk, (partition), format, mount. :) and why do you have a 'noauto' option in the fstab? and the mountpoint directory /media/1000??? MUST exist befor you can mount it. [05:40] file system is ntfs [05:40] khider: 5% is reserved. [05:40] fek: then it wont matter [05:40] k..here I go then [05:41] Guys, I want to change the positioning in GRUB but there is no menu.lst in my /boot/grub/ [05:41] What do I do?

For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [05:41] grub1 and grub2 use diffrent configs [05:42] Dr_Willis: The name of the tera-byte can be fixed, I was trying different names to get it to work--including logical names, so far no dice [05:42] But as far as I know mine is not Grub2 [05:42] I dont see a foler in there yet even though it is running? Should I be able to see the folder? [05:42] khider: the MOUNTPOINT 'name' must exist.. the /dev/sdXXX is the device name. [05:42] khider: you can mount it whever you want [05:42] khider: and you dont need all the options you are using in your /etc/fstab for the sdb2 entry [05:43] there is any tutorial teaching set up animated wallpaper in nautilus-desktop? [05:43] Dr_Willis: What options do I need? [05:43] zinox: ive seen guides on making wallpapers that 'change' every so often. but none on 'animated' [05:43] khider: proberly just 'defaults' [05:43] Admins....need help, how know my password of this ircLogin [05:43] <[_miT_]> zinox: one of our irc users just installed something to make his desktop animated [05:44] <[_miT_]> zinox: let me check on it [05:44] Anyone know how to run finnal cut studio??

[05:45] soooo.... i have a ra2860 wireless chipset and ra2860 drivers from the repositories. now what? [05:45] Ruge, It's not possible to run final cut studio except with OSX in a VM ( which I think is currently illegal ). You might be interested in Ubuntu Studio though. [05:46] <[_miT_]> Pyru: start with xOrg, then pick your desktop manager, like gnome or KDE [05:46] Mmm was looking to run my final cut softwware more specifically :) [05:46] i tried using ies4linux and i cant get it to work using all the online tutorials! [05:46] Tomcat2010: check its homep[age/forums perhaps for help I guess [05:46] <[_miT_]> Tomcat2010: you can try IE through wine, but i dont recall it working. hence the ie4linux project [05:46] Dr_Willis: That link is useless. As I said, there is no menu.lst in my grub folder. I cannot do as told in that link of yours. [05:47] rimdeker: grub2 does NOT have a menu.lst it has its own set of configs. You need to edit the proper configs for whtever version of grub you are using [05:47] rimdeker: if you are using grub1 you should have a menu.lst , since you dont. either its been deleted (doubtfull) or you are using grub2 [05:47] Dr_Willis: I do NOT have grub2 ... thanks for your help, though. Appreciate it.. [05:47] rimdeker: then you some how lost the file I guess.

[05:59] rodnie, you wont get very far with that page [05:59] or would that be overkill is i were just to stick with ufw [06:00] pikeshouse88, not having those two services on default ports is a good start [06:00] pikeshouse88, also : it's not paranoia when you know they are out to get you [06:00] airtonix: i gotcha. [06:00] <[_miT_]> pikeshouse88: openssh = secure layer, webmin runs on https [06:00] <[_miT_]> pikeshouse88: in otherwords, you should be fine [06:00] <[_miT_]> pikeshouse88: pick a good password!!

[06:01] How the hell do you get the terminal to use the "default" profile automatically?

[06:02] khider: you mount /dev/sdb1 not /dev/sdb [06:02] Dr_Willis: I am still having trouble mounting the TB [06:02] khider: fstab line is wrong [06:02] rodnie, 1) if you copy paste stuff from there verbatim, your going to get errors (dont include the $ ) 2) it talks about changing the input device via xorg.conf 3) it doesn't explain how to start the process properly ( you need to open gnome-terminal >> press alt+f2 and type gnome-terminal, then follow steps on the page ) [06:02] <[_miT_]> Pyru: im sure there are some articles on how to do this. a lot of people starting out with ubuntu servers want xorg there for troubleshooting [06:03] i cannot to connect the internnet sometime how to stop overwrite /etc/resolv.conf by system [06:03] rodnie, 9.10 doesn't use the xorg.conf file very much anymore. so don't be surprised if that page doesn't produces the results you're looking for once you finished the steps [06:03] how secure would using x11vnc be?

But it is not the answer that I am looking for. [06:49] I have found that when running my laptop on a block of dry ice the fans never come on, should I be worried? [06:49] Hi - i'm having HUGE problems controlling my smb mounted folders - right now I can't umount anything, even with -f, and a list over my mounts is showing the mounts several times - this is getting frustrating, and probably the reason my shutdown takes so long time :( [06:49] almoxarife: No. [06:50] bullgard: cool :) [06:50] pikeshouse88: agreed. Insist on good passwords, no root logins, and if you run on the standard port 22, expect people to actively try and break in... [06:50] bullgard: I realize that and I am still looking about... some other places I'll look too [06:51] what's the command line to force a package to un-install regardless of of any errors it can cause? [06:51] pikeshouse88: see http://www.i-justblog.com/2009/08/openssh-server-best-security-practices.html [06:51] if im not running snort or ossec, is there any other good security software thats worth it [06:51] like fail2ban perhaps [06:52] Hi - i'm having HUGE problems controlling my smb mounted folders - right now I can't umount anything, even with -f, and a list over my mounts is showing the mounts several times - this is getting frustrating, and probably the reason my shutdown takes so long time - output of 'mount' on my machine is here: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/zBaceFeD [06:53] <[_miT_]> gregg: didnt look at your pastebin, but is something using the mounted drive preventing you from unmounting? [06:54] [_miT_]: there shouldn't be afaik [06:54] <[_miT_]> gregg: just a shot in the dark, lol [06:54] <[_miT_]> gregg: i wouldnt be the best person to solve your problem :( sorry [06:54] [_miT_]: it's actually a few shares on the machine that aren't umounting [06:55] GeekSquid: I found it: It is /usr/share/gnome/help/seahorse/C for the international version. [06:55] it's killing me, 'cause 9 out of 10 times I have to make a hard shutdown [06:55] <[_miT_]> gregg: mmmm corrupted data taste good dont it? :) [06:55] GeekSquid: I found it: It is /usr/share/gnome/help/seahorse/C/seahorse.xml for the international version. [06:55] nope [06:55] what does the dpkg do? [06:55] is there a ubuntu net install cd I can download [06:56] bullgard: that's good news, I am so suprised by the number of documents, and document locations, it should all be compiled into one help system that has everything ... man is great until you have info, yelp, docbook, etc, etc, etc [06:56] anyone here us eossec? [06:56] use [06:56] ubottu: minimal | yaboo [06:56] yaboo: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [06:57] gregg: I agree with [_miT_]. The usual reason for unmount failure is because some process has files open on a volume. Any idea what process that might be? [06:58] GeekSquid: Yes indeed. -- Thank you again for your assistance. [06:58] bullgard: not a problem [06:58] losher: none at all - so far i've only opened krusader, but that's closed now - haven't accessed the folders for anything else yet [06:59] and i can't figure out why a umout -f isn't working : [06:59] hy hau can i see my usb divice i try lsusb but nothing [06:59] i KNOW there's something in my config that's freaky - the 'mount' command is showing me weird things [07:00] my real question is whether or not im a fool if i dont run snort [07:01] I just upgraded to 10.04 beta, but ubuntu is now wanting to mount USB to boot how can I change it to mount my harddrive?

[07:12] can somebody help me with grub(2) ? [07:12] !anyone | Jamshoot [07:12] Jamshoot: 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? [07:13] =) [07:13] deostroll: you'd have to re-install but move the config files over from the backup you made of /etc/ [07:13] Jamshoot: what is the problem?

[07:15] Well, i need to reinstall grub, but i dont know how [07:15] DaZ: under edit-preferences-behaviour-recycle bin I have: ask before emptying recycle bin and deleting files cheched [07:15] hi everyone, I have a hardware issue, is this the place to ask? [07:15] Jam I had that problem before, what I did was just reinstall linux completely, then the grub was fixed [07:15] !grub [07:15] grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [07:15] deostroll, You need to use the alternate install CD to upgrade, but there is no way that downloading the alternate CD will take less time than just upgrading [07:16] Has there been known audio bugs in Ubunto 9.10? [07:16] Jamshoot: u need to make script which update-grup cmd uses [07:16] !grub2 | Jamshoot [07:16] Jamshoot: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic.

[07:16] or you can use the recovery console to remove it completely by fixmbr [07:16] it's very simple [07:16] puser: uncheck and check again maybe? [07:16] this is after enabling nvidia drivers, btw [07:16] jordan_u u mean burn the iso to a cd...? [07:16] RPG-Master: wireless mode AP, wireless network mode: mixed, is that what you need? [07:16] but then you will have to manually delete the part [07:16] deostroll, No. [07:17] deostroll, Did you download the "alternate" iso or the (normal) "Desktop" iso? [07:17] DaZ: When you located your drivers to install did it show you sevral onces to choose from? Perhaps you can uninstall it and try another.

[07:18] Hi - i'm having HUGE problems controlling my smb mounted folders - right now I can't umount anything, even with -f, and a list over my mounts is showing the mounts several times - this is getting frustrating, and probably the reason my shutdown takes so long time - output of 'mount' on my machine is here: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/zBaceFeD [07:18] the cd 4 9.04 aint shipping these days [07:18] DaZ: Some machines Ubuntu detects the nvidia card it gives you options on which ones to install [07:18] DaZ: Unchecked, closed preferences, opened preferences, checked, closed preferences. Samething. [07:18] Jamshoot, You're welcome. [07:18] I had two to choose from when I loaded up ubuntu on my box [07:19] deostroll, The Desktop iso or the Alternate iso? [07:19] mb, ill read it... [07:19] Hello all...is there a way to set the default permissions for automounted external USB drives, in Ubuntu 9.10? [07:19] jordan_u i don't understand the diff bw the 2...alternate/desktop [07:20] I have a Sony Vaio with a faulty monitor, so I'm trying to get it to sync to an external monitor as the primary, but I need to do it outside of windows so I can reinstall my OSs [07:20] i booted into ubuntu and all it's showing me is the wallpaper. i can use alt + f2 to run from the terminal, which is how i'm using xchat, but i dont know what to do other than that. this happened after i enabled nvidia drivers [07:20] can anyone help me? [07:20] deostroll, The Alternate CD can be used to upgrade Ubuntu, the Desktop CD can't. If you didn't choose the alternate explicitly then you have the Desktop CD. === zinox is now known as killown [07:21] jordan_u i hve the desktop [07:21] deostroll, Don't bother with trying to upgrade from an iso. Just find a faster mirror with System > Administration > Software Sources. [07:22] Anyone know how to share streaming video from the net via twonkymedia server on an ubuntu machine? I know it's a twonky question, but I thought someone here may have done it before === Administrator is now known as Guest20005 [07:23] deostroll, First go to System > Administration > Software Sources. Tell me when you have done that. [07:23] jordan_u yes === Guest20005 is now known as cmcn [07:24] deostroll, There should be a drop down menu labeled "Download from", select "other". [07:24] k [07:24] so, where else can I look to make sure it confirms on file deletion? [07:24] deostroll, Now click on Select Best Server [07:25] puser: well, i'm not sure if they've implemented it :3 [07:25] jordan_u a testing download server dialog popped up [07:26] puser: but it shows a popup when trash file isn't writable. [07:26] Are there known bugs with Ubuntu 9.10? I'm having some issues with audio when I multi task it example: Running a media player and playing GL games, also sound just becomes static during gameplay [07:26] and actually shuts off when I run both.. Without media software playing the sound in the game becomes distorted rather badly [07:26] DaZ: do you use gnome and do you have confirmation pop up, when you delete? [07:26] known audio bugs rather [07:26] puser: i don't, i've installed nautilus now and there's no popup. [07:27] Blue1: I don't need it, I've just hear that N is better, and mixed might not use my router to its fullest [07:27] jordan_u i think select best server...does the automatic selection... [07:27] darn [07:27] puser: kde has popups. [07:27] jordan_u it has selected some mirror in uk...whereas I reside in india... [07:27] RPG-Master: like I said -- I know enough to be dangerous! like they say YMMV (your mileage may vary) [07:27] jordan_u is this reliable? [07:27] deostroll, Yes. [07:28] RPG-Master: i had problems with my netbook. I had to install the backports to fix it. [07:28] Blue1: OK :P [07:28] deostroll, The servers in / near India may be somewhat overloaded currently. [07:28] jordan_u chose the server..nw wht [07:29] still looking @ the sfotware sources dialog box [07:29] deostroll, Now try upgrading via update-manager again and with the faster server it should take less time. [07:30] i booted into ubuntu and all it's showing me is the wallpaper. i can use alt + f2 to run from the terminal, which is how i'm using xchat, but i dont know what to do other than that. this happened after i enabled nvidia drivers [07:30] jordan_u should I hit revert? [07:30] deostroll, No [07:30] htpc: ~/.xsession-errors [07:30] DaZ: are you on KDE, Ubuntu? [07:30] deostroll, Hit close and when it asks if you want to update the package information say yes. [07:30] how do I tell if my ubuntu is "jaunty"? [07:31] JustaNumber: cat /etc/issue [07:31] puser: I'm using Arch, but Ubuntu also ships KDE [07:31] JustaNumber: lsb_release -a [07:31] how do i check what version of ubuntu i have? [07:31] can someone tried chromium os ? [07:31] DaZ, what? [07:31] k update-manager doing its job...downloading packages [07:31] If I have a user that has a secondary group, and I have given group read permission to a directory that is of that secondary group, is the user not supposed to be able to read that directory? [07:31] how do i search with apt-get [07:31] nixjr: lsb_release -a [07:31] or is there a different command for that? [07:32] ShadeS: apt-cache search foo [07:32] ShadeS: apt-cache search blah [07:32] htpc: gedit ~/.xsession-errors and try to find something useful [07:32] ardchoille, is it possible that my 9.04 "turned into" 9.10? [07:32] ShadeS: or to filter package names: apt-cache search -n blah [07:32] nixjr: if you upgraded, sure [07:32] blank file, da [07:32] daz [07:32] DaZ: ok, thanx [07:33] ardchoille, i dont remember hitting some "updated to 9.10" button [07:33] htpc: nothing's wrong then. [07:33] nixjr: Are you sure you installed 9.04 instead of 9.10? When did you download the iso? [07:33] htpc: run gnome-terminal and start nautilus and gnome-panel [07:34] jordan_u download rate is only 10.4 kb/s should I rely on this again? [07:35] ardchoille, it was definately 9.04, i got a pressed disc here, i find it unsettling that i managed to make a major chnage liek that without realising it [07:35] nixjr: Well, look at it this way, you're more up to date than you were :) [07:37] ardchoille, the reason i ask is i just ran "sudo apt-get build-dep rhythmbox" and it says "130 newly installed", as you might of guessed im new to linux, is it normal for it to need so many dependencies? [07:37] DaZ, says it cannot start gnome-panel because one is already running. i moved my mouse up and it went off screen, right clicked and it was the menu for right clicking the panel. i guess it's just off screen. do you know how to fix it? [07:37] nixjr: probably so. rhythmbox is media application so it pulls in insane amount of junk [07:38] nixjr: yeah, what alankila said [07:38] Has anyone expierenced problems with audio when they either run a media player such as rythum box or Audacious while playing an openGL game and have the audio completly shut off or just playing the game normally without a player going the sound becomming distorted and cuts out? I read fourms about it but I can not isolate the problem. [07:38] htpc: sudo nvidia-xconfig and restart xorg [07:38] nixjr: That's the main reason I stopped using rythmbox [07:38] nixjr: actually, looking at the list, there's texlive, tons of x11 libs, even xulrunner [07:38] if you didn't do it ofcourse. [07:39] but no media codecs. I guess they don't depend on gstreamer like that. [07:40] ardchoille, i want to use to it because its the only player i can see that has a live pitch/tempo/speed adjuster [07:40] nixjr: Ah, that makes sense [07:42] nixjr: but you need to compile entire rhythmbox for it? === cmcn_ is now known as cmcn [07:42] alankila, thats what this guide im reading for the plugin says [07:43] i tried just going to the pluing site but there isnt a download button http://tiyukquellmalz.org/cgit/rbpitch/ [07:43] DaZ, can you give me that last message again? something about running xvidia-config and restarting xorg? [07:43] htpc: nvidia-xconfig <: [07:44] nixjr: git clone git://tiyukquellmalz.org/rbpitch [07:44] Hey guys! My friend has installed Ubuntu 9.10 on his laptop but his wireless wont work correctly keeps disconecting his chipset is 0b:03.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 03) [07:44] DaZ, thats step 4 on their guide, im pretty much just blindly copy and pasting it [07:45] daz it gave me a message, can i pm it to you or should i pastebin it? 3 lines long [07:45] htpc: pm it [07:46] Yo yo yo [07:46] hey folks. [07:46] hola [07:47] Hey guys! My friend has installed Ubuntu 9.10 on his laptop but his wireless wont work correctly keeps disconecting his chipset is 0b:03.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 03) [07:47] i'm wondering why my desktop have so many hidden files!! [07:47] is it normal? [07:47] !broadcom [07:47] Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [07:48] Frind: try disabling IPv6 too [07:48] krangam, i cant tlel you if its normal or not, but i checked mine and i have none [07:48] Krangam: in $HOME yes, they hold the configs for you apps and desktop [07:49] Kangam: in $HOME/Desktop I have none too [07:50] ActionParsnip: sry I did not see what you wrote [07:50] hello hackers, can anybody tell me any network stimulator available in linux [07:50] Frind: try diabling IPv6 too [07:50] Thanks ActionParsnip and nixjr. I intended to ask in $HOME [07:50] I'm running a Nvidia GTX-260 with 2 24" monitors, I can't for the life of me get the monitor on the left to be the "main" monitor. I've switched the location of each monitor but all that changes is how they "connect", can anybody help me with this?> [07:51] Brad_: could use xorg.conf [07:51] hello hackers, can anybody tell me any network simulator available in linux === pierce1 is now known as pierce [07:51] ActionParsnip: I just checked on widi docs and his BCM4306 does not seem supported [07:51] so should he go with ndiswrapper? [07:52] fosser_josh, not sure if this si helpful, but could you run multiple virtual machines in vmware or summin? [07:52] ActionParsnip: will the nvidia-settings just be editing the xorg.conf? What am I looking for in specific to change [07:52] what about some files that ends with a '~'. But I'm not able to see them on the GUI desktop. When I use terminal and list all files, I'm seeing these files. [07:53] krangam: text editors mark backups with a ~ [07:53] The output from my second sound card has stopped. I've verified that the audio output works when using the live CD. I think I have to reset the audio settings. How do I make that? [07:53] brad_, System / Admin / NVIDIA X Server Settings - X Server Display Configuration - highlight the monitor you want as default, put a check near bottom "Make this the primary display for the X screen" [07:54] Brad_: run: gksudo nvidia-settings ,then click write to x config file [07:54] DaZ: Thanks. Is there any need for such files? I mean, they occupy unnecessary space? [07:54] brad_, use ActionParsnip parsnips "gksudo nvidia-settings" with my directions above :) teamwork [07:55] krangam: editor 'auto backups' have saved me several times like that [07:55] mm, that rbpitch is based on libsoundtouch. No wonder I couldn't find any implementation of the shifter algorithm there [07:55] Zykotick9: hi5! [07:55] Dr_Willis : Thanks. I understand that I don't need to worry about such files then. [07:56] when I run "gksudo nvidia-settings" i get "Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0"., is that okay? [07:56] Frind: if the usual broadcom thingy doesn't work then use ndisgtk + winxp 32bit or 64bit driver (depending on ubuntu arch) [07:56] alankila, could you dumb that down a little for me lol === DaZ_ is now known as DaZ [07:57] ZykoticK9: I don't ave the option "Make this the primary display for the X Screen" [07:57] brad_: as long as the app runs it'll be fine [07:58] nixjr: just satisfying my curiosity. This pitch shifter would appear to be based on a time-domain autocorrelation strategy. Good for simple audio like singing, bad for complex music because the requisite overlaps are much harder to find. [07:58] Xinerama is enabled, and I have each monitor set up as "Seperate X Screen" for configuration [07:58] brad_, not as a checkbox at the bottom? sorry, we must have different versions of nvidia-settings or ubuntu then, and my VMs don't use nvidia, so can't test there sorry. good luck man. [07:59] Zykotick9: you'll have to run this one now dude. I have 1 monitor for 3 systems [07:59] ActionParsnip, using a kvm switch? or software based? [07:59] Brad_: try adding the nvidia vpau ppa and upgrading the driver [08:00] alankila, i understood some of that, so i guess i shouldnt hold my breath is assuming my trance is going to sound flawless with a faster bmp? [08:00] to explain, this pitch shifters work by resampling the audio to a new frequency that corresponds with the desired change in pitch, and then cloning the audio data based on self-similarity so that the play length doesn't change. Or you can leave the pitch intact (no resampling) and slow down or speed up if you like. [08:00] Zykotick9: ssh and web based admin [08:00] ActionParsnip, so really 2 headless boxes? [08:00] hi [08:00] how can i change the background image at gdm login? [08:00] ZykoticK9: I just changed it from "Seperate X Window" to "TwinView" and that option showed up, rebooting now to test [08:00] nixjr: it depends on parameters, the music itself, and how much change you want. [08:01] Goliath: could change the file in the 'xsplash' directory as one way. theres also tools to change it google for 'gdm2 setup' I think is the name of one. [08:01] Zykotick9: sure. Fileserver and an old thing doing torrents and backups. Fileserver is new :) [08:01] #ubuntu-it [08:01] Goliath: ive also seen scripts/tools that sync your main users wallpaper with the gdm wallpaper [08:01] #ubuntu-it-chat [08:01] Dr_Willis: where is xsplash? [08:01] nixjr: but the real problem with autocorrelation is that it adds jitter. If new drum beats are supposed to occur, say, every 200 ms, the autocorrelator generally adds or removes extra sample data between the quiet periods between hits, and it doesn't usually fall out evenly on both sides of the hits -- it depends on what audio is going on at that moment -- and that makes beats slightly jittery. Whether it's noticeable is another matter. [08:01] alankila, may i pm you? [08:02] Goliath: use 'locate xsplash' and check out the paths [08:02] Zykotick9: tbh I use my phone to control mostly (and chat on here) [08:02] Goliath, i actually watch a YouTube video today demonstrating how to do that, can't find the link easily now though, but it's there [08:02] nixjr: why not. [08:02] ActionParsnip, I am SO behind the time - i have no cell phone! :) [08:02] Goliath: see http:/delicious.com/dr_willis/gdm2 for some info on the tools ive tried [08:02] ok [08:02] Zykotick9: if you get by without, why bother :) [08:03] ActionParsnip: Very good point [08:05] Is chromeOS based on Ubuntu? [08:06] ActionParsnip: i belive it is [08:06] hei hei hei [08:06] I would have asked in ot but my irc client won't join another channel once its connected :( so thanks :) [08:07] ActionParsnip, i've seen howtos involving adding repositories to chromeos inorder to install various software, so deep down there is ubuntu under-the-hood of chromeos [08:07] ActionParsnip, Yes. What IRC client are you using? [08:07] Jordan_u: andchat [08:08] Jordan_u: just read a guide the command is: /raw join #chan === zhuangyao is now known as yaozhuang [08:08] Weird [08:09] ActionParsnip, Probably requires raw commands for just about everything if it doesn't have a simple /join [08:09] ActionParsnip, Might as well just use telnet :) [08:09] Zykotick9: interesting. I'll check it out after sleeping. Just done a 12 hour shift [08:09] is "intrepid" after "jaunty". if so, is it a stable release? [08:10] Jordan_u: could use connectbot to ssh to my desktop then use irssi :) [08:10] Justanumber: jaunty is after intrepid and both are stable [08:10] !intrepid [08:10] Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) was the ninth release of Ubuntu. Downloading: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ - Release Notes: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810 [08:10] !jaunty [08:10] Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) was the tenth release of Ubuntu. Downloading: http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.04/ - Release Notes: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/904 [08:10] JustaNumber, it's alphabetical, so i comes before j [08:11] hmmmm, so how does one upgrade? apt-get dist-upgrade didn't seem to do it? [08:11] !upgrade | justanumber [08:11] justanumber: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [08:11] Hi, just added a new screen to my computer ( now I have 2 screens ). The problem is that I cant drag app from one LCD to the other. any idea? === yaozhuang is now known as zhuangyao [08:11] mbn_18: and your viudeo card is whata exactly>? [08:11] mbn_18, are you using nvidia? [08:12] ZykoticK9: Yes, 7600GT. All is set and the secondery screen is working with his own toolbar. I can also move the mouse over it. but not apps === ltsampro1 is now known as ltsampros [08:13] mbn_18: use twinview. not 'seperate x displays' in the nvdia-settings tool [08:13] mbn_18, that's working-as-designed if you have 2 seperate x screens [08:13] I see, checking [08:13] okay. i'm running karmic and since the last update, my kernel is throwing a panic everytime I try to get the laptop to sleep. [08:14] Dr_willis: wouldn't twinview make 2 identical screens? [08:14] ActionParsnip: Only if you set it to CLONE [08:14] Dr_willis: I'm just going by the name...oh I see [08:14] i use twinview all the time. :) only had issues with it when i tyr to get 3 screens working [08:14] when I type "gcc filename.cc" it says "error: stdio: No such file or directory" [08:14] what should I do? [08:14] twinview is nvidias 'name' for their enhanced xinerama featureset [08:15] Mostafakvd: sudo apt-get install build-essential [08:15] Hi. [08:15] Mostafakvd: make sure you use <>s round the libs you want to use [08:16] Dr_Willis, do you play many games? have a good solution to disabling one monitor automatically, or a cure for games playing in the center of both screens? [08:16] ActionParsnip: I type that it says "build-essential is already the newest version." [08:16] ZykoticK9: xrandr can disable one I think. or the nvidia-settings tool can also disable one when you use apply [08:16] ZykoticK9: its games that are programed BADLY that do that.. its technically the games fault [08:16] ActionParsnip: my code is very simple "#include [08:16] using namespace std; [08:16] int main() [08:16] { [08:16] cout << "good news"; [08:16] mostafakvd: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:16] return 0; [08:17] Dr_Willis, i customize my xorg to autoshutoff one monitor when a particular resolution is called "1280x1024", but am unable to reliably add more resolutions without nvidia-settings starting to "freak-out" [08:17] hola [08:17] mostafakvd: .h [08:17] Mostafakvd: i'd ask in #c [08:17] ZykoticK9: i rarely have issues. so havent bothered with it much [08:18] DaZ: you mean I should add stdio.h [08:18] ? [08:18] whats the question? [08:18] ZykoticK9: i do recall warzone2100 having the problem. I set its res in its configs as a fix [08:18] Mostafakvd: if you use void main (void) you don't need return 0 at the end [08:18] Dr_Willis, sorry to bother ya, thought i'd throw it out when you where mentioning twinview [08:18] mostafakvd: i mean you will waste terrible amount of time before you finally give up [08:18] Warzon2100 is awesome [08:18] but .h should help as well. [08:18] ZykoticK9: yep . The programs are getting the monitor size using the wrong commands/functions and think its a wiiiiiideeeee monitor... [08:19] Dr_Willis, "most" games run fine - it's just the odd-balls with issues [08:19] ZykoticK9: ages ago about every java app had the same issue.. and even virtualbox and vmware had the issue [08:19] ZykoticK9: dosbox used to have the ssue [08:19] Dr_willis: is dosbox still maintained? [08:20] probably [08:20] I have Xp & Ubuntu on separate partition with windows programs run through Wine. How can I clone it? Will XP n Ubuntu installations be cloned as they r on host machine? [08:20] there's nothing better anyway [; [08:20] I guess [08:20] Question: why can't I write messages on the #C channel? [08:20] enderb: you're not registered? [08:21] Enderb: maybe you need to be regged [08:21] Oh I gues not? [08:21] the #C people are weenies [08:21] !register [08:21] Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. Registration help available in #freenode [08:21] So I don't have to register to write messages here? [08:21] when a panic takes plance, does the apport try send the whole dump/core? it's stuck at uplk the uploading problem information window, and i'm wondering [08:21] ActionParsnip: no idea. i only use it to play a few games now and then [08:21] Enderb: no you are doing it now ;) [08:21] lol :p [08:22] Enderb: the channel goes registered only when trolls and spammers go crazy [08:22] i see [08:22] Dr_Willis: i tried one but didnt work [08:22] hmm [08:22] ActionParsnip: May I pm you? [08:22] This is my IRC bot [08:23] I'll have to figure out how to register [08:23] Ardchoille: sure [08:23] I sent the NICK and USER messages [08:23] do you have to make a password in order to register?

Registration help available in #freenode [08:24] Dr_Willis: Have you ever experienced any audio bugs which causes the sound in games to become distorted and cut out? I'm having that problem or if I use any kind of music player the sound cuts out completly. I imagine my hardware is proper as far as drivers go [08:24] #ubuntu-it-chat [08:24] #ubuntu-it [08:24] Dagon: ive rarely had any sound issues [08:24] music player while playing a game that is [08:25] Dr_Willis: Hmm. I can't isolate the problem. Driving me nuts lol [08:25] Dagon: sound mixing in linux is extremely bad. [08:26] my .bashrc file is not getting read, does anybody know why? [08:26] while trying to install Bazzar Explorer I got this error posted at http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/390177/ . Any help please? [08:27] DaZ: I'm begging to notice this. If I could atleast get the games to properly stream the audio without it cutting out that would be excellent. I can do without playing music in the background [08:27] Hello [08:27] Is there anyone here? [08:27] beginning rather lol [08:27] no [08:27] in dire need on configuring pam with freeradius [08:27] anyone i can seek advice from? [08:27] !google [08:27] While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [08:28] the problem is whenever I tried to ssh to localhost, it didn't connect to freeradius [08:28] Dagon: are there distortions or there is no sound from one program at all? [08:28] i googled for half day already [08:28] quizme: at login? have you sourced .bashrc in ~/.profile? check ownership with "ls -la ~/.bashrc" [08:28] researcher1, do you have qemu-kvm installed? [08:28] is it possible to change the default file browser in gnome from nautilus to, lets say: midnight commander. I've checked, midnight commander, algough, not as pretty, as nautilus, it confirms deletion. [08:28] is freeradius on port 22? [08:28] when aptget says packages will be removed, does it mean there is nothing that depends ont hose packages? or is ti possible that removing them will stop something else working? [08:28] it's in default port [08:28] is it running ? [08:28] 1812 [08:28] yea it is running [08:28] :) [08:29] Daz: When I run both game and music player the sound cuts out completly but when I just run the game it's distorted and cuts in and out. sounds basicly like a record needle being dragged across [08:29] so ssh localhost:1812, no reply? [08:29] got reply [08:29] yet permission denied [08:29] OH [08:29] and at the radius terminal there is no log message [08:29] orson: this is after i log into my server. ownership is good for .bashrc. .profile doesn't exist [08:29] well, that's not nearly as bad [08:29] :) [08:29] hey any1s gt counter strike 1.6 running wid proper FPS on ubuntu [08:29] so either get logging on [08:29] i just wondering why the ssh didn't connectg to freeradius [08:29] quizme: ~/.bashrc won't be read on login--shells [08:29] or find a way to make ... [08:30] well, now you're confusing us [08:30] anyone i can chat 1 on 1 ? [08:30] Dagon: i'd guess it's related to pulseaudio or another ubuntu feature [08:30] either the ssh connects [08:30] or it doesn't [08:30] orson: ok. thanks. imoved it to .profile and now it works. cheers. [08:30] quizme: echo ". ~/.bashrc" >> ~/.profile [08:30] dsync, this community support :) [08:30] well i did modify the sshd in the pam.d folder [08:30] if using system-auth then can login [08:30] cs 1.6 on ubuntu? [08:30] but didn't connect to freerdaius [08:30] quizme: now it won't be read on non-lgin shells :) [08:31] DaZ: Can I disable pulseaudio and enable I beleive it's klasmixer? I'm rather new so bare with me [08:31] Dagon: klasmixer? >: [08:32] back, the twin views work. but with few problems. first every time I choose a workspace both display flip. maybe its related to compiz? [08:32] anyone managed to ssh into freeradius ? [08:32] I just seen a post google -fu? whats that [08:32] in serious need of help here [08:32] Does anybody know a nice GUI as a replacement for lshw -- I'm familiar with lshw and I only need to take few screenshots so it should look nice. I don't remember the name of the package. :( [08:32] dsync: freeradiuos? [08:32] ya [08:32] DaZ: I think it's named along those lines. It was something I typed into bash to get some volume level controls on a deeper level than what is on the GUI [08:32] kinja-sheep: hardinfo? >: [08:32] ssh -> pam -> freeradius [08:33] Dagon: alsa [08:33] DaZ: Checking it out right now. ;< [08:33] problem with ssh is it didn't authenticate with my freeradius server [08:33] Any help on this please http://imagebin.org/87853 ? [08:33] DaZ: lol yes I was way off [08:33] dsync: What do you mean by shh into freeradiius ? [08:33] dsync: ohh you want ssh to auth aginst freeradius [08:33] Ping [08:33] yea [08:33] Dagon: pulseaudio is running on top of it but i don't know anything about pulseaudio in ubuntu. [08:33] i believe i setup everything correctly [08:34] yet it still didn't auth against the freradius [08:34] DaZ: That's alright thank you though :) [08:34] Dagon: there is over 9000 how-tos on disabling it, if it doesn't help get interested in oss4 [08:34] googled for half day and no solution [08:34] DaZ: That tool is sufficient to do the job. Thanks. :) [08:34] how to run a shell command from a c++ file ? [08:35] DaZ: oss4? [08:35] mostafakvd: #c [08:35] Dagon: open sound system [08:35] !netiquitte [08:35] dsync: it seems openssh does not support radius. but maybe you can achive it using PAM. [08:35] Mostafakvd: last I did any coding it was system("command here"); [08:35] DaZ: Is that something I can collect via bash? [08:35] it doesn't ? [08:36] dsync: maybe there is ssh channel/ or pam channel. [08:36] where ? [08:36] ActionParsnip: you mean for example system("ls /home/"); [08:36] ActionParsnip: yeah? [08:36] dsync: I didnt saw it on the feature list of openssh website [08:36] Dagon: depends what do you mean by bash, there should be a package [08:36] any alternative then ? [08:36] Say, is init/Upstart a kernel-built-in thing? [08:36] Mostafakvd: afaik, not sure what .h its in. Ask in #c [08:37] dsync: As I said. My guessing is that it is achivable using pam. but I am not sure. ask experts. [08:37] theadmin: no [08:37] orson: Strange :/ If you kill init, you get a kernel panic [08:38] dsync: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_PAM [08:38] i see [08:38] mostafakvd, #include and system("shellscript"); should do it [08:39] So when in April is 10.04 expected to be officially released? [08:39] i forget the command to get it from the repository [08:39] AbuMaia: Closer to the end, maybe 28th or so [08:39] AbuMaia: last thursday [08:39] Dagon: then you have to either read man apt-get or use synaptic. [08:39] thanks theadmin [08:40] Abumaia: yes but other questions in #ubuntu+1 if they are lucid based [08:40] what should I do if I get this warning "perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings: LANGUAGE = (unset), LC_ALL = (unset), LANG="en_IN.ISO8859-1" ? [08:40] DaZ: I heard of synaptic put have yet to try it. I've only been at this for a few days i'm very new to linux but learning [08:41] vivid: thanks bro that's right [08:41] :D [08:41] Researcher: sudo dpkg-reconfigure locale ,may help [08:41] let me try n report soon [08:41] Dagon: then what did you use? [08:41] damn.. i had that problem once researcher1.... something isn't installed [08:41] the apt-get commands to aquire packages [08:42] DaZ: Or the GUI for ubuntu that lets you search for software to get [08:42] If I get this message " /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: locale is not installed [08:42] " what do I do? [08:42] Researcher: try locales [08:43] Researcher: I had the issue but then the lucid alphas rolled so I reinstalled [08:43] Dammit, Ubuntu forums are active, i can't find my thread anymore lol [08:43] Dr_Willis: i cant find /usr/share/images/xsplash/ [08:43] or locate it [08:43] Researcher: there are guides online [08:43] #ubuntu-it [08:43] #ubuntu-it-chat [08:44] lorenzo_: Uhm, you are forgetting "/join" [08:44] DaZ: Do I run synaptic straight from the terminal? [08:44] ActionParsnip will u b kind to visit here http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/390184/ please? [08:45] Dagon: it should be somewhere in the menus. [08:45] Dagon: No no no way! o_O System - Admininstration - Synaptic package manager [08:45] theadmin: lol [08:46] researcher1, looks like u have old broken kvm install [08:46] Researcher: just create the file and folder the system expects, this will keep it happy [08:46] Researcher: looks like you are removing your entire kde [08:48] I wonder if KPackage is still broken? :/ [08:48] oh. Ok. Let me try that way [08:48] Thanks [08:52] hi guys, can someone recommend places other than irc and ubuntuforums to get help? [08:53] adante: Canonical provides commercial support, but i dunno anything else [08:53] I'm having some issues finding my grub menu list. It isn't located at "/boot/grub/menu.lst"... which is problematic because I need to give information on the kernel versions to get support for the problem I'm having with the latest kernel not getting past the boot screen nor working properly in recovery mode. [08:54] adante, to get help on ubuntu? this is like the best place there can be. try searching for blogs. but this channel is the best. forums is really good too. [08:54] adante, you can try asking a question on Launchpad at https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu [08:54] SamuelPeterson: This file is not used by Grub2, if you're having that [08:54] SamuelPeterson, grub2 right? it's grub.cfg not menu.lst. [08:54] dnivra, thank you. [08:55] SamuelPeterson, you can get your kernel version using "uname -a" too. no problem. [08:55] dnivra: haven't had much luck here or forums, although i do appreciate their efforts, so just investigating other avenues [08:55] SamuelPeterson, Run the command "uname -a" in your terminal. that'll give your kernel version too. [08:55] dnivra: ah, I see. How would I go about getting the versions of all the kernels installed? [08:55] what software is used to copy Dvd video as a AVI or MPG, k9copy is crashing all the time [08:55] theadmin, ZykoticK9: thanks, will check it out [08:55] SamuelPeterson: How about... dpkg -l | grep 'linux-image'? [08:55] SamuelPeterson, That command gives you only the currently used version only ok. [08:56] uname -r is more closer [08:56] dnivra: I did that command real quick and it says "Linux 2.6.31-20generic that the kernel I'm assuming? [08:56] dnivra, thanks a million. [08:56] I've opened port 80 (TCP & UDP) on my router to forward to my ubuntu desktop..now in this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC#Accessing your PC over the Internet they say to open up port 22 instead .. but if I change from 80 to 22 I can't access the webpages on my desktop :S why? should I maybe not change the 80 port forwarding and just create a new 22 ??? [08:56] SamuelPeterson, No problem. [08:57] Dagon, That is the kernel version yes. [08:57] Where can i go for lucid support? [08:57] dvivra: Thanks.. Sorry for the stupid questions but as I always say the only stupid question is the question that is not asked :) hehe [08:57] abo-, you might want to check out dvdrip (in repo), WinFF (in repo, frontend to ffmpeg) or Handbrake (not in repo, doesn't do avi or mpeg, just mp4/mkv) [08:58] !lucid [08:58] Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 29th, 2010 - Lucid is NOT released and is NOT stable - Discussion and support only in #ubuntu+1 [08:58] Dagon, true. but it's best to be safe than sorry: ask questions good or bad. that's how learning happens. but always try to think a bit before asking: sometimes the solution might be staring in your face. course it's possible to miss it too. [08:58] m_fulder_: you have to forward those ports, the services are running on you want to access from outside [08:59] hi [08:59] I tested the y2038 bug......now I can't boot into my comp [08:59] help plz [08:59] ShapeShifter499: Uh... What exactly do you get? [08:59] llutz, right .. but then the port to access apache on my comp. are different from does that I want to VNC connect with? [09:00] so I need 2 forwarding llutz ? [09:00] m_fulder_: sure, http=80 vnc = 5xxxx [09:00] aha ok then I understand thanks [09:00] dnivra: Indeed. I'm getting the hang of all this slowly but surly [09:01] theadmin: it said that I last booted into my com in dec. 1905 and it was saying that now is in the future [09:01] I'm the apple in the bunch that has some holds in it, maybe some worms moving about [09:01] Dagon, carry on like this and you'll get better in no time:). [09:01] holes lol [09:02] ShapeShifter499: Ah. "Filesystem mount failed: superblock last mount time is in future"? [09:02] theadmin: ya thats it [09:02] dnivra: I know some of it from DOS back when I was around 13 or so I'm 29 now so I forget quite a bit [09:03] ShapeShifter499: "fsck" usually fixes it, although with Y2038K dunno how it will... maybe you can also try setting the time with "date" command ("man date" for details) [09:03] theadmin: ok [09:03] anyone here able to help me with a nessus prob? [09:03] Dagon, :) [09:03] !ask | CrAzE124 [09:03] CrAzE124: 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. :-) [09:03] theadmin: man y2038 is serrious [09:03] theadmin: I don't wanta die in 2038 [09:04] hi [09:04] theadmin: XD [09:04] where can i get a new cursor from and use it? [09:04] ShapeShifter499: MORE then enough time to fix it, i think, developers will make somethin' up [09:04] llutz, but if my comp. is behind a router I only open up port 22 not 59xx right? [09:04] i want the oxygen black cursor [09:04] m_fulder_: 22 = ssh [09:04] m_fulder_: so it makes no sense to forward it, until you use nx or vnc on different port [09:05] I've got an error in nessus that I've been trying to fix for more than 2 weeks. I'm sure all my settings are correct but it gives me the following error: "The remote host does not seem to be a nessus server (or an SSL error occured". Now i have started nessusd, made certs, etc. What could be wrong? [09:05] theadmin: yay :D fsck fixed the dating problem [09:05] hm llutz but in the guide there is written I should open up just port 22 and not 5900 while trying to VNC connect to my comp. through internet ... am I not configuring VNC to run through SSH now? [09:06] i got a cursor from gnome looks [09:06] how do i use it [09:06] later on there is written that I should install an SSH client while trying to connect to my comp so I guess VNC will be running thorugh SSH or? llutz [09:06] ShapeShifter499: lol "dating" [09:07] m_fulder_: Correct, to tunnel VNC through SSH only open port 22. I would encourage you though to change the default ssh port to something higher than 1024 [09:07] theadmin: XD whatever [09:07] m_fulder_: would you please read sentence #1 in that part of the article you reffered to [09:07] theadmin: all my applets crashed on the first boot after the y2038 test, than 2nd boot was fail.... [09:08] m_fulder_: they tunnel vnc inside ssh, so you don't have vnc running on 22 [09:08] need help, i have regitered Channal, │+mgdm [09:08] ??

[09:09] llutz, I don't ? hm wait SSH is running at 22 right .. and if I make VNC run thorugh SSH why won't it run thorugh port 22 ? [09:09] Goliath: System->Preferences->AppearanceTheme tab then install bottom right [09:09] ShapeShifter499: That's serious :/ Really, I wouldn't test it, a bit too early [09:09] Goliath drag/drop the file to your 'appearances' settings window. then customize the theme you got. [09:09] I NEED HELP. HOW CAN I AUTHORIZATE ON THE CHANNAL TO GET OPERATOR PERMITIONS(CHANNAL IS MINE)? [09:09] jimlovell777, how can I change the SSH port from 22 to something higher ? [09:09] PomkaLK: Go to #freenode [09:10] PomkaLK: see the freenode website also. [09:10] m_fulder_: read all of that article, try to understand what they do and how it works. you have vnc running locally at 5900. to access it from outside your LAN you create a ssh-tunnel on port 22, which you have to forward [09:10] theadmin: everything is ok....so far.... anyways this was on my secondary comp which is highly unused [09:11] ShapeShifter499: Hm... 1905? Unused indeed. [09:11] gksudo gedit /etc/ssh/sshd_conf and change the port number from 22 to something else. When you run an ssh command from then on use that new number (less than 65535) like ssh -p newnumber username@hostaddress [09:11] Dr_Willis: didnt work [09:11] i cant find it [09:11] theadmin: XDD [09:11] Goliath: alwyas give more details then 'it dident work' [09:11] Dr_Willis: i dragged it but doesnt appear at cursors [09:12] llutz, ok will try to understand =) [09:12] Goliath: perhaps it wasent a mouse pointer theme then. [09:12] Dr_Willis: i was [09:12] how cani use it manually [09:12] m_fulder_: running ssh on ports != 22 won't increase security, it just decreases logging [09:13] m_fulder_: Think of it like calling a friends mom but you want the friend on the phone. First you call their mom and then ask to talk with your friend. your connection uses the moms phone to get in but that's not who you wanted to talk to.... Did that help at all? [09:14] ShapeShifter499: BTW i have this error VERY often because of a faulty CMOS battery... :/ It always resets time to 0 (aka 1st January 1970, midnight) [09:14] i did the TOP command in the shell and I noticed it says 3 users.

It protects you from scripted bots. All measures of security help. I'm going to guess he wont be disabling root login or password logins. [09:15] Dagon: also open terminals count [09:15] jimlovell777: that's "security by obscurity" which isn't seriously increasing security [09:15] theadmin: really? y not just replace the battery? can't you get one off the net for like 5 bucks? [09:15] aw, nevermind, I'm wring [; [09:15] wrong :f [09:15] jimlovell777: it won't prevent you from serious attacks, just stop some script-kiddies [09:15] llutz: I respectfully disagree but we're both allowed our opinions. [09:15] ShapeShifter499: Well, gotta unscrew the whole laptop to do it :/ [09:15] shoppers' drugmart for battery ;-) [09:16] DaZ: Ah excellent because I have two terminals open so hence the other 2 users. Thank you [09:16] theadmin: ah I see....I'm not much for opening my comp either [09:16] i'm not wrong then :f [09:16] Im so old i rember when Computers used C cells for battery backups. :) or dident even have a built in clock and you had to set the time/date at each boot up [09:16] I have an old laptop with intel 845gl, and I am running xubunt on it. but it crashed down randomly but the mouse worked ,no keyboard [09:17] who shows one session, top says 4 users... i don't get it.

I did "w" in the AWN terminal applet and it only shows 1 user logged in [10:26] - - - - [10:27] Moat: because I'm not searching the net for you, mencoder is a complex tool and if you're unable to search the net for a guide, you'll struggle to use the tool [10:27] guntbert: ikonia: did it again in the gnome-terminal and it shows me 2 users ... [10:27] Anyone use PDAnet for Android on Ubuntu? [10:27] zetheroo: looks like gunbert is correct then, and your second user is your shell to type "w" although that doesn't look right to me [10:27] so you won't support me in the Official Ubuntu Support Channel...thats odd ikonia [10:27] theres support.. then thers handholding...

[10:32] ikonia Tether my Android phone to Ubuntu [10:33] Atomic: interesting [10:33] ikonia: so i have to edit smb.conf ? i cant just right click on a folder or use a gui?? [10:33] bouma: you can use the "share" option in the gui [10:33] ikonia: can i just mount a one off share, without editing fstab ? [10:33] ikonia Yeah, it would work with bluetooth but I have the G1 and it doesn't have Android 2.0. [10:33] bouma: sure, fstab is used for mounting shares on your "linux" client, I thought you wanted windows to mount it ? [10:34] Atomic: Let me guess the two never pair? Ubuntu doesn't seem to like an ad-hoc network with PDANet, I've tried on an iPhone. It can be done with some work though. [10:34] ikonia: I found another command on an Ubuntu forum that supposedly shows the logged in users ... top -b -n 1|tail -n +8|awk '{print $2}'|sort|uniq [10:34] I'm currently having boot issues. It wont do anything past the splash screen except give me a blank screen and I somehow managed to make recovery mode for the latest kernel work... When I run the kernel in debug mode, I end up with a command line interface with (initramfs) where USER@Host should be. [10:34] zetheroo: I won't use top to show users [10:34] ikonia; one of the listed is mythtv and I am in the mythtv group ... [10:34] ikonia: right, but the links you gave me, didnt clearly distinguish between sharing to other windows clients from a linux box and accessing a windows share from a linux box [10:35] ikonia: so i thought i might have to add the windows share to fstab so that it would be perm mounted [10:35] bouma: so do you want to access a linux share from a windows machine, or access a linux share from a windows machine ? [10:35] ikonia: where is this share gui? i cant see it [10:35] my video which is an .avi i play on my TV off a CD is COMPLETELY out of sync, I have downloaded and installed mencoder, I use ubuntu 9.10 what do i need to do to fix the constant out-of-sync issue? [10:35] jimlovell777: Not positive. I hadn't tried it because PDAnet works automatically with Vista. There is no software that I could find for Ubuntu to do it. [10:35] bouma, you dont need samba [10:36] ikonia: i want to share a dir without any credentials from my linux box so that a windows machine can see it on the lan [10:36] random__: ok so what should i do then? [10:36] Atomic: You don't need software per se but you do need to tweak network settings on the Ubuntu machine for it to work. [10:36] bouma, you want to take stuff form nix and put it to win? [10:36] random__: i want to make a dir on this linux box avail to a windows machine [10:37] bouma, what windows do you have on the machine? [10:37] random__: xp [10:37] bouma: Right click on the directory, try the 'share' menu item yet? [10:37] bouma: ok - I've not got a gnome desktop infront of me to guide correctly, but there should be either a right click option on a directory to "share" or in the places drop down menu at th etop of your machine there should be a share option [10:37] random__: pls dont suggest ftp or something. it would be nice to just have it accessible from xp as a windows share [10:37] bouma, as far as i got was addind or taken files of a linux directory, i dont think win can pickup on the linux machine least mine dont. [10:38] In theory you can just RIGHT CLICK on a directory and 'share' it with a few clicks.. and windows should see it [10:38] random__: windows and linux can share files just fine [10:38] It might need to install a few packages. [10:38] but it seems this advice is getting overlooked. :) [10:38] Dr_Willis: thanks, i didnt see it cause its not avail for a drive in the "computer" view only for a proper dir path view in nautilus. thanks [10:39] ikonia, yea i do it, but idk making a share for linux , i made a share on win for linux tho. [10:39] bouma: corredt. you share a directory your USER has proper access to. not a 'system' dir or drive [10:39] jimlovell777: So it's possible then? Cool. I'll see if I can dig up more. [10:39] no drives automount [10:39] why [10:39] Dolk: you where told what to do when you where here as moat [10:39] Dolk: the advice has not chanced since then [10:39] ikonia what are you saying? [10:39] Dr_Willis: thanks, the rightclick thing was exactly what i needed, i just didnt see it cause i tried to share the drive from the "computer" nautilus view. [10:39] Yes it is possible, it's even possible with PDANet but that's probably more than you want to get into. [10:39] who is moat? [10:40] Atomic: *with=without [10:40] Dolk: you are moat - you where just here using that nick name, if you want to play games, do it elsewhere [10:40] ikonia i literally have no idea what you are reffering to [10:40] jimlovell777: Yeah there are plenty of "root" guides and that's a possiblility but really not something I wanted to do. === friction is now known as Friction [10:44] Dr_Willis: ok but the xp box is saying it doesnt have permissions, even when i select the guest option under the ubuntu share options [10:44] bouma: use 'sudo smbpasswd -a YOURUSERNAME' and give them a samba password. i always do that anways === Friction[laptop] is now known as Friction[1] [10:46] cristina [10:46] ola [10:46] Dr_Willis: it could have something to do with the fact that im sharing an ntfs partition and under linux its mounted so that the everyone permission bit is clear, i cant chmod it .. do i need to remount it with options so that everyone can access it.. the share options gui warns that these perms are required and offers to set them, but i dont think they're being sucessfully set according to a ls-la [10:47] ola [10:47] what is cristina [10:47] bouma: its possible you need ti mount the ntfs with some other options.

[11:41] Hello when I boot my comp my monitor goes into power saving mode. same with diff monitor. what would the problem be? anyone? [11:41] ecm, so you have to enter 'fdisk /dev/sdb' [11:41] ecm: windows CAN delete linux partions ive done it befor. (never in win 7 however) [11:41] knums: yes the whole of linux' [11:42] dr_willis: the problem is win 7 cant delete linux but win xp can [11:42] ecm, ehm, i mean 'sudo fdisk /dev/sdb' [11:42] p0a: What graphic card have you got? [11:42] ecm: i find that hard to belive.. ask in #windows perhaps [11:42] guntbert, i'll don't do that :-) [11:42] knums: :) [11:42] dr_willis: its true [11:43] ecm: i find it very hard to belive. [11:43] #windows [11:43] overmind, ATI, [11:43] hatake_kakashi, i have the path in /boot/grub/menu.lst ---> http://dpaste.com/168975/ [11:43] im trying to connect to a symantec 460 [11:43] dr_willis: u can google it , windows 7 cant delete linux partition it just doesnt recognise it [11:43] ecm: you coudl always just zero the linux drive. that will blank it to be unallocated [11:43] overmind, it worked fine with it, the problem occured randomly ( i didnt mess with anything hardware/software-wise) [11:43] ecm: file a bug at MS's bug tracker then [11:43] If im gonna install ubuntu on a AMD turion 64 should i use the regular desktop install or the 64 bit alternative? [11:43] ecm: :) [11:44] p0a: Did you insttalled any update releasted with xorg or with ati? [11:44] xro, yeah that's valid enough [11:44] releated [11:44] ok how do i go into the windows chat room [11:44] i will ask those guys [11:44] ecm: /join #windows [11:44] i used the symantec client in vm and ti works but none of the linux vpn protocols will connect [11:44] is it possible to have an eq setting in pulseaudio? [11:44] overmind, no, but the problem is not at OS boot, but at comp boot [11:44] Dr_Willis: I guess it will be ##windows for ecm [11:44] hatake_kakashi, but it always boot with the old kernel! should i delete line about the old one in menu.lst? [11:44] so I think it wouldn't be affected by that [11:45] xro, no just comment it [11:45] hatake_kakashi, can you explain why it still use the old one? [11:45] what package to install to have rar and zip opening? [11:45] what is it that automounts filesystems in ubuntu? [11:45] it won [11:46] won't mout my autofs filesystem [11:46] guntbert: no u dont understand my linux is messed up im gona reinstall a fresh copy on my othre harddrive [11:46] my nilfs filesystem that is [11:46] someone here who has experience with samba and vfs-module expand_msdfs ? [11:46] royk: the fstab is read at boot time and 'mounts' filesystems. Then gnome has its own tools to mount fileysstmes 'on the fly' when inserted [11:46] xro, probably the default menu, its all explained in grub howto.. I'm sure if you managed to compile kernel, you should be at least able to see what grub is capable of doing [11:46] well I put my question on the forums cause it's kinda complicated http://5z8.info/dogporn_psr [11:46] Dr_Willis, I'm thinking of the gnome tools. I don't want to hardcode this in fstab [11:47] ecm: I wanted to tell you that the support channel is probably ##windows (not #windows) [11:47] being an usb stick [11:47] no wonder.

[12:08] Dr_Willis: ty ill check it out [12:09] Dr_Willis, any idea what else I could install beside the ubuntu-restricted-extras..in order to get audacious to have mp3 support ? (the gstreamer part for totem already worked..but I'm an audacious fan still) [12:09] redirected again lol [12:09] piojunbabia: yahoo and ms like to break their 'stuff' on purpose to goof up the 3rd party IM clients..

[12:11] you can use bitlbee for msn messenger and facebook chat with irssi :) [12:11] so it feels like you are in IRC [12:12] theres also that web site (or 2) that can do the differnt IM protocalls [12:12] took some very talented people to write that one up. [12:12] like meebo or webmessenger.yahoo.com [12:12] what I like in incorporating those into irssi is that I can just ssh into irssi from anywhere, or using my phone and be on msn [12:12] I think Meebo is the one i was thinking of. :) [12:12] pvandewyngaerde, gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/general/button_layout --type string ":minimize,maximize,close" [12:13] red: but who really wants to be on msn. :) [12:13] jo-erlend: no [12:13] can someone tell me how to hide a link i only want a few people seeing on my site? [12:13] red, yes. [12:13] gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/general/button_layout --type string "menu:minimize,maximize,close" [12:13] this is the correct one [12:13] jo-erlend: that is going to be SUCH a FAQ when the next release comes out. [12:13] how to mount with 777 permission ? cmd-line example please. [12:13] or else you are missing the menu button on the right side of the toolbar :) [12:13] gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/general/button_layout --type string [12:13] . | "menu:minimize,maximize,close" [12:13] red, ah, in order to get the menu back as well. I forgot about that one...

[12:20] Hello! [12:21] how can i tell my network manager to not touch my network inerfaces? [12:22] * grobda24 says hi [12:22] spiekey: what do you mean? not use them? [12:22] not use a specific adapter? [12:23] I'm in Karmic. What is the correct way to upgrade to Xorg server 1.7. It is not in the packages .. only in Lucid packages. [12:24] use duct tape and draw a line down the middle of the room, tell each one of them to stay on their own side :) [12:24] they won't be able to touch each other that way [12:25] grobda24, do-release-upgrade -d :) [12:25] royk, to Lucid ? I was looking for the setting to change. Is it in system -> admin - update manager ? [12:26] Lucid is still a work in pogress... [12:26] but it is working decently well for me on my Netbook [12:26] grobda24, just do that on the command line as root. it's an alpha, though [12:26] works for me (tm) [12:26] can someone help me with my mounted hdd? cause it suddenly loses the write access and becomes only read [12:26] silly buttons on the left side.. *gag* :) [12:27] <|Sereal|> I'm trying to install intel drivers for my core i3 on 9.10 When i try to configure it tells me x11 package is missing - which is not the case?

[12:27] Gangrel: check dmesg command for errors. its likely theres some error with the drive so its becoming read only. I would backup data. then fsck it.. and perhaps.. not trust it very much [12:27] Gangrel, check dmesg, kernel logs [12:28] also consider a new hdd afterwards if issues continue [12:28] it gives my invalid cluster chain [12:28] me* [12:29] Filesystem error (dev sdb1) [12:29] no response in #ubuntu-server, so => can somebody please do nmap gbachot.homelinux.com? [12:29] gdansk.ircnet.pl [12:29] Gangrel: time to backup and fsck i think [12:30] royk, duh, not getting this :( Is it "sudo apt-get -t=Lucid upgrade" (that didn't work BTW lol) [12:30] Dr_Willis ok give me the command for the fsck please [12:30] the command is 'fsck /dev/XXXXX' [12:31] with a sudo of course [12:31] Dr_Willis, moving the titlebar buttons to the left side of the screen is not silly. It's user hostile. [12:31] thanks a lot bro [12:31] jo-erlend: Host File? :) [12:31] * Dr_Willis reads again [12:31] jo-erlend: yep. andit will break a lot of other themes.. [12:32] Dr_Willis, the new default themes also makes awesomebar in Firefox almost useless. Can't read what it sais. [12:32] jo-erlend: i also tend to tweak the spaceing of the buttons so theres a bigger gap btween the close and min/max buttons for us old timers makeing it easier [12:32] Dr_Willis i am thinking about formating the drive from fat to ext4 but can you help me automount it after that? [12:32] jo-erlend: with enough complaints they can changeit back :) [12:32] Gangrel: you can 'mount' it via editing the fstab with a proper command. [12:33] * grobda24 got it "update-manager -d" :P [12:33] * Dr_Willis thinks people use the term 'auto mount' way too much :) [12:33] Dr_Willis, I'm not sure... They seem really stubborn about making the fancy changes now. I don't think users mean much anymore. [12:33] Dr_Willis, yeah but i got trouble with finding the right command that gives read and write to all users (sorry but with somethings i am really amateur) [12:34] Gangrel: for ext2/4/3 theres no 'command' You use the normal linux permisions/ownership same as would use in your / partitiopn [12:35] Gangrel: ie. chown/chmod the dirs/parittions how you need them [12:35] Gangrel, you don't normally want to give read and write to _all_ users. You might want to give it to users in a group, and then add users to that group. [12:35] * grobda24 nouveau driver is in Lucid by default. well done Ubuntu people ;) [12:35] ?

I would just like to know about this kind of thing in general as I deem this a pretty important issue with some software out there in the open source domain ... the need for proper and full (as possible) disclosure on the workings of the program [12:49] reanimation, try using audio icon on the panel... with sound preferences you can set it over 100% [12:49] llutz: i tried -e, but somehow i always get the help thingie [12:49] !wol [12:49] pomka: Здоров! [12:49] @munsking - since its open source, u can use the code as reference and llearn ... or maybe create somethin better than that [12:49] Dr_Willis: well if it is needed the fix is not difficult in either case (GUI or CLI) [12:49] but same sound card work more better on other os like windows [12:50] unop, i have nasa theme on my Fluxbox. i need to here the sound of the theme and aslo to change the wallpaper - also i cant load my dock although i installed it [12:50] yehia, this theme was downloaded?

I cant recall much more then that it affexts fscking and somthign else. [13:28] jurgster: so that document has nothing to do with what you want to accomplish. You should read "writing udev rules" [13:28] sayaga: in that case windows [13:28] I think what happened was I could not remember the name of the channel, so could not enter.

[13:31] Gangrel: 5% is reserved by default.. thats chanangeable [13:31] IdleOne:Are you a robot or a relly person?? [13:31] Gangrel: tune2fs command can change it to some other % [13:32] Gangrel: you can change the reserved amount to get more space back.

[13:32] jrib thanks i look it up now [13:32] Gangrel: If it's your root drive though, you should leave it, to give the system space to write if it gets locked up [13:32] Gangrel: not when your driv4es are 40% full.. when they get 90% then its time to worry [13:32] EBC99: I am a real person. [13:32] Gangrel: by default will be 5% for root reservered, stupid today [13:32] Ohhh...O.K [13:32] Gangrel: i set mine tobe 1% [13:33] You are so clever [13:33] You like a lot the informatic no?? [13:33] can you help me do it? it is my backup drive so it is fine to mess with it a bit [13:33] Gangrel: man tune2fs (-m) [13:34] hi all [13:34] llutz (and everybody talking about EXT reservations) is that only on the main system partition or all partitions? I have quite a few I use just for storing large files (and thus don't really need reserves for root). [13:34] Gangrel: use sudo fdisk -l to find the drive number [13:34] EBC99: si quieres charlar por favor entra in #ubuntu-offtopic por Ingles o #ubuntu-es [13:34] Gangrel: then sudo tune2fs -m 1 /dev/whatever to change to 1% reserved [13:34] the_real_dave done [13:34] Okay [13:34] i have problem [13:34] thank you [13:34] Oli``: it's mkfs.ext3-default for all filesystems [13:34] Idleone:Do you speak spanish?

[13:35] Oli``: mkfs cannot know how you will use the filesystem being created. so use mkfs.ext3 -m0 in future [13:35] thanks a lot ppl :) [13:35] llutz: So 5% of my 4.5TB array is reserved overhead.

Otherwise, no [13:36] neotrix: you need to open the port on your router and forward to your servers ip [13:36] yes [13:37] Oli``: 1% on system-fs should be more than fine today [13:37] good night people... dizzy....

[13:38] but IdleOne port is open in roter and in ubuntu i cant to connecte [13:38] the_real_dave: mdadm [13:39] the_real_dave: but this reservation sounds like it's inside the allocated EXT partition [13:39] neotrix: then you did something wrong maybe [13:39] the_real_dave: use tune2fs on the md, not on the individual components. [13:39] Dr_Willis, What command? The files name is "ls_switch" and only contains one number, every time i reboot it contains "1" but I want it to have "0" [13:39] hi guys, this is my point, i've a pc with 10.04 installed, it was working fine, then i've installed windows on other partition, reinstalled grub with bootcd's grub-install, now when i try to boot into ubuntu after it says /dev/sda1 clean bla bla bla and the boot stops [13:39] As a proof: [13:39] $ sudo tune2fs -m 1 /dev/md0 [13:39] Setting reserved blocks percentage to 1% (24438 blocks) [13:39] lungan: you could do somthing like 'echo "0" > /path/to/that/file' [13:40] lungan: how are you changeeing it now? [13:40] neotrix: please ask your questions in the channel so that others can help and also benefit from the answers [13:40] Oli``: I don't think it will damage it. I cant remember it damaging mine. [13:40] Oli``: if you want less than 1% use "tune2fs -r " [13:40] Dr_Willis, I open the file with gedit via root, and then change the value, it keeps saying that I can't change the value to that but when I click "save anyway" it works [13:41] neotrix: and NO I will not config your router. YOU are the admin and should never let anybody else have access to your router :) [13:41] lungan: thats a nasty way [13:41] lungan: the shell is our friend. :) [13:42] neotrix: if you are planning on running a ircd you will need to learn how to do these things yourself. it is not as hard as you may think, just takes some time and effort to learn :) [13:42] Dr_Willis, Yep but I'm pretty noob on that, I will read about shell later, but for the moment should I just add 'echo "0" > /path/to/that/file' in the(what was the file again?) file [13:42] lungan, that is what linux make different to windows ... linux has a shell [13:42] okey i test [13:42] good [13:43] lungan: /etc/rc.local (no single quotes around the command either) [13:43] knums, But I don't even know what a shell is =) [13:43] lungan: but i dont know the path.. be sure to use teh right one [13:43] !shell | lungan [13:43] lungan: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).

[14:00] :( [14:00] datta: You should be able to use Synaptic to remove it. Command line would work too, but with Synaptic you can search for Firefox so you can see you're removing everything. Then reinstall firefox from Synaptic and it should give you the right verison. [14:00] no one is dealing logmein ? [14:00] Isn't rezound supposed to import mp3?

Thank you very much [14:02] and it won't pass [14:02] I'm suspecting it has to do with the "ldconfig deferred processing now taking place" I'm getting from aptitude.

[14:08] ill search for that so [14:08] lars_bauer, check http://www.ubuntu-user.com/Online/News/Kernel-2.6.33-Is-Completed [14:08] just wondering if anybody knew of any good software that can manage cale modems.

[14:11] hey! im trying to remove "recent docuemnts" from my activities panel, is their anyway to do that in "gnome-shell"? [14:11] osotogari: poor reverse dns is sometimes a factor in poor ssh reponse [14:11] Hey thanks airtonix, ikonia, IdleOne and julio. I'll see what I can come up with. [14:12] IdleOne, no neither. [14:12] #ubuntu-it-chat [14:12] What causes "ldconfig deferred processing now taking place" errors? Mostly what I've found on the topic is people asking about it three years ago. [14:13] Hellhound666, no prob, altough i haven't understood what the problem was :p [14:13] nibbler: both at the login and during a session [14:13] ikonia: i wrote wrong.. the one that screw up is 2.6.31-20 and not 2.6.32-20 [14:13] !network-manager [14:13] networkmanager is an application to make (wireless) networking Just Work. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager [14:13] ikonia: even in a network with on 1 or other computers on the lan [14:13] osotogari, so what is your bandwith if you do a scp for example? other protocols perform better? if its also slow after login DNS issues are basically ruled out [14:14] Can you guys see in your package manager which version of pdfcrop you can get? I'm looking for v. 1.5 [14:14] The only thing I can google for is v0.2 or something [14:14] supposedly there is 1.5 to be found in some linux package managers [14:14] osotogari: yes [14:14] ps3 installs anyone?

[14:16] or do you have it installed [14:17] osotogari: so you can try an ip based connection to rule out the dns ?

[14:34] switchgirl: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PXEInstallMultiDistro [14:34] <^Willie^> but what i need to do is create an custom login manager for X that will run an app in kiosk mode [14:34] yes i have a eeepc that doesnt support chain load booting bu i tried to get it to chainload via grub2 [14:34] switchgirl: that should get you going [14:34] ^Willie^: You can make gdm login as a specific user [14:34] lars_: Synaptic search for linux-image or 2.6.31-20 [14:34] lars_: From Synaptic Package manager [14:34] linux-kernel search [14:34] <^Willie^> Dr_Willis: true i have tested that but i do not want to load metacity [14:35] * Stargaze note to self: don't recommend kernel script anymore [14:35] ^Willie^: make a desktop item /gdm session to load whatever you want [14:35] <_dreamy> hello, i whould like to install kopete and it requires alot of kde packages.. id just like to ask.. may the installation of those packages somehow slow down my system ? .. its performance ? [14:35] <^Willie^> Dr_Willis: i`m thinking about just try uninstall gnome and try it via xdm but no clue how that is working if it come`s to non default usage [14:35] ctrl alt bckspace worked [14:35] but id like to be able to use it from the login screen [14:35] is there a way? [14:36] <^Willie^> Dr_Willis: yes but the customer do not want some desktop env running in the back [14:36] ^Willie^: theres no need to Uninstall gnome. make a new whatever.desktop item that runs EXACTLY what you want [14:36] <^Willie^> Dr_Willis: and i have seen it is posible but then i get some 300x400 pixel screen [14:36] Gnome will NOT be running if you dont tell it to [14:36] <^Willie^> Dr_Willis: but it slows down the bootup process ;) [14:36] ^Willie^: err.. No it wont. [14:36] if gnome never gets loaded.. its not going to slow it down [14:36] <^Willie^> Dr_Willis: or is it an 10 sec programmed delay in the gdm theme ? [14:37] ^Willie^: ive never seen a 10 sec delay. [14:37] my gnome loads in about 1 minute [14:37] You dont have to use gdm if you dont want to. You could make rc.local do a 'startx' as whatever user you wanted [14:37] mln [14:37] <^Willie^> Dr_Willis: hmmzz before the desktop loads you se an red screen with 3 stage lights and some moving sprite in the middle here in vmware it is 2 sec native on my customers quadcore intel box 10 sec :S [14:37] Dr_Willis, how do i do that? [14:38] ^Willie^: you can disable xsplash if youwanted also. [14:38] <^Willie^> Dr_Willis: yes just startx and get the empty x session screen is enough i dont need more then that :D [14:38] Hi, I have question in this case. Why does keyring always ask admin password if I don't use gdm? [14:38] Stargaze: alter the rc.local to run 'su startx' or somthing like that.. if you really wanted to. I dont see much point in it [14:39] ^Willie^: time tolearn how to confiogure things then. make a .xinitrc [14:39] Dr_Willis, does that decrease the boot time? [14:39] by default here it loads the default desktop last i tried it. [14:39] Stargaze: depends.. I dont worry about it to much [14:39] <^Willie^> Dr_Willis: do you know some info source about these stuff? since i`m an gentoo linux user i`m always seeking in loops where are my files for example /etc/init.d have confg files in etc/conf.d and on ubuntu it is etc/init .. ;) [14:39] 30 sec boot time on a machine that gets 30+ days Uptime.. not worth me worrying about [14:40] !upstart | ^Willie^ [14:40] ^Willie^: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [14:40] <^Willie^> that did costh me an hour already :p forum's users point others to gconf-edit and i need bare script ;) [14:40] startx normally runs .xinitrc or .Xsession these days.. thats old-skool stuff [14:40] I'm looking into network authentication, doesn't have to support windows auth, any suggestions that allow network login and designated hd space? [14:40] <^Willie^> Dr_Willis: thmx reading [14:40] anybody? [14:41] <^Willie^> Dr_Willis: jup but i whas missing some stuff in xinitrc :S [14:41] then add it... [14:41] You just implied you wanted total control.. you got it. [14:41] Thanks guys. It helped uninstalling it from synaptic :) weee [14:41] <^Willie^> Dr_Willis: i can trust ubuntu on that ? no modified scripts ? [14:41] Hello room. Could someone please tell me how I can make custom commands in ubuntu? I mean, I have a bash script which I want to execute from wherever I am and not have to go to its location or use full path to run it.. I also dont want to run it as ./name but just name bla bla. is it possible and if it is, how? thank you [14:41] ^Willie^: clarify what you mean. [14:42] Take0n: place it at /usr/local/bin for all users, or ~/bin for you === grj is now known as jedrzejblew [14:42] Take0n: trival.. make a bin dir. in your users home.. it will get added to the path [14:42] <^Willie^> Dr_Willis: i know xorg and gnome as fetch source code and run compiler then config .. ubuntu is like debian precompiled but surprising me with doing stuff difrent [14:42] * Dr_Willis thinks ubuntu needs to default to haveing a bin dir. [14:42] ^Willie^: they tweak stuff - yes. [14:42] thanks guys! Dr_Willis u mean lk mkdir bin in ~? [14:43] <^Willie^> Dr_Willis: so i have to accept the ubuntu methods somehow [14:43] <^Willie^> ;) [14:43] I've got an ubuntu server that, on entirely random occasions, switches to what appears to be DHCP-assigned IP address. /etc/network/interfaces rather clearly states that it should use a static IP address.

[14:45] one last question and I will stop bothering you. do I have to re-login everytime I add a script or just once if there were no bin folder and I created one? [14:45] brb, try to decrease boot speed [14:45] Take0n: just restart your terminal in this case is ok I think [14:45] oh nice [14:45] Take0n: no if you alread have a bin-dir, no relogin needed at all, it should be in your PATH (echo $PATH) [14:45] VCoolio: no need [14:45] thank you [14:46] yeap it is =) [14:46] Hey guys, is there an ETA on Ubuntu 10.4? I'm waiting for its release, so I can reinstall the OS on my server [14:46] surial: when you installed did you select dhcp from the installer? i can't remember how but i had a similar problem once with a debian server doing something similar, i think i ended up removing the dhcpclient application/configs in the end [14:46] ppl do you know any way to restart X from the login screen?

[14:49] surial: looks to be in /etc/dhcp3 on this ubuntu netbook, [14:49] kroson: you need to hold down alt key, sysrq key and K at the same time [14:49] dan_: all unix system do have a shell [14:49] erUSUL how do i access it?

[15:38] mkey, most peoples idea of downsides to not using xp coems of cultural conditioning at school when they refer to the word processor as word instead of just a word processor [15:38] Does there will be any problems when i install ubuntu 9.04 next to Windows 7? [15:38] hello ,everyone. [15:38] mkey, its also a question best asked in #ubuntu-offtopic [15:38] hey [15:38] gottcha [15:39] why my xchat is contineously disconnecting? [15:39] can anyone help me clean up old kernels on my system? [15:39] madalin: i cheat and use ubuntu-tweak's cleanup feature for that === abhi_nav__ is now known as abhinav === abhinav is now known as abhi_nav [15:40] Dr_Willis, i already asked you which one. If you're reffering to computer janitor, then no, it's not cleaning anything. [15:40] My ubuntu occasionally hangs on shutdown and I have to switch the machine off manually. I'm looking through the syslog but I really don't know what to look for- or if I maybe need to be looking somewhere else. [15:40] can you see me messeges? [15:41] madalin: the programs name is 'ubuntu-tweak' its an unofficial program not in the repos [15:41] bbak [15:41] madalin: it has its own ppa repos [15:41] dook: same prob as that of you. may be due to over heating [15:41] how to play the flash? [15:41] file [15:41] dook, shutdown problems are most likely not connected to overheating. your problem is, that the syslogd might already be stopped. just shutdown and watch it on the commandline and see where it hangs [15:41] Where would I check to see where the video drivers die when it trys to start the desktop? [15:41] Dr_Willis, can you provide a link please ? [15:42] can anyone help me with network manager? I don't have network connection [15:42] madalin: id just have to google for 'ubuntu tweak' it should be the first hit., [15:42] I found it. Thanks! [15:43] #ubuntu-it [15:43] nibbler: when it hangs I am no longer able to switch to a console. I'm stuck looking at my wallpaper until I shut it off. [15:43] #ubuntu-it-chat [15:43] dook, start by stopping your x-session (sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop) and then issue "sudo shutdown -h now" [15:43] dook My old one did that. Never did find what was going on. [15:44] nibbler: Thanks I'll start doing that then. [15:44] dook, the first command will already kill your x, so be sure to have saved everything etc === firaaq is now known as s4h === s4h is now known as firaaq === soUPERMan is now known as kanine5 [15:47] if i change .profile last line from mesg n to startx am i going to break anything? [15:47] where does network manager logs the errors? === robins is now known as robinsmidsrod [15:49] root_: every time you launch a shell/termianl it might try to start another X session. [15:49] root_: so it may not be a good idea. [15:49] i see [15:49] also irc as root isn't a good idea [15:49] well Dr_willis my distro is booting to command line, where should i put startx? [15:49] does using only the shell, without gui improve laptop battery life. === ross is now known as Guest12773 [15:50] root_: figure out why gdm isent starting.. or just do 'startx' after you login [15:50] i can live with just lynx and vim... === kanine5 is now known as kanine5_ [15:50] markcl: every running process needs a little bit (or more) of power, so yes [15:50] markcl: try it and see.. I imagine it would help some. but then you may not have the various power-saving/cpu limiting tools/services running [15:50] how can a disk encrypted with the alt. cd installer be accessed? [15:50] nick AndrewR [15:50] llutz: would the time saved be significant? [15:51] root_, maybe your default runlevel in /etc/inittab is not 5 ? [15:51] markcl: i doubt that [15:51] !runlevel [15:51] In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [15:51] I am using openoffice writer and I want to add notes to a file but do so anonymously. When I add a note, it adds my name. How can I, for example, change the name of all notes by an author in a document? By notes I mean, if you were to click Insert->Note [15:51] knums: runlevel 2-5 are equal [15:51] MikeChelen, in the partitioning tool, make a partition for encryption [15:51] llutz, hu? explain? [15:51] salut [15:52] knums: runlevel 2-5 are equal <- explain what part? [15:52] nibbler, the encrypted partition was already made during installation. now need to access without booting the regular system [15:52] llutz, only in ubuntu? [15:52] Dr_willis my distro was built off of ubuntu. im not even sure if is supposed to startx by default [15:52] I am using openoffice writer and I want to add notes to a file but do so anonymously. When I add a note, it adds my name. How can I, for example, change the name of all notes by an author in a document? By notes I mean, if you were to click Insert->Note. [15:52] knums: debian too (afaik, i have no debian with X) [15:52] root_: neither do we.. we cant support every ubuntu-spinnoff out there. [15:53] Is there someone who speaks french [15:53] root_: I cant imigine why it wouldent.. [15:53] ? [15:53] MikeChelen, ah ok, thats pretty easy. just open it with nautilus, should pop up a password request. if not, use cryptsetup to do so (commandline) [15:53] i do not have a /etc/inittab [15:53] hi, I may be in the wrong place.. maybe someone can tell me the right place in that case. [15:53] root_: ubuntu dosent use inittab any more [15:53] MikeChelen: please have a look at http://www.linux-mag.com/cache/7568/1.html [15:53] !inittab [15:53] Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [15:53] llutz, ah okay. i never looked which runlevels in ubuntu are available and what they do. [15:53] root_: thanks to upstart, you don't [15:53] !fstab [15:53] shumpie: in which case? [15:53] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [15:53] yeah im just curious to where you would place startx [15:54] I am trying to install a package in Lyx, hi abhi [15:54] nibbler, where in nautilus could it be opened? will check out cryptsetup command as well [15:54] shumpie: this is ubuntu support channel you can ask question related to ubuntu [15:54] MikeChelen, ah ok, i was talking about complete partition encryption, the link you got is about homedir encryption. this is a diference [15:54] hello [15:54] llutz, for general i have to work wirh rhel and suse distros ... these are old-school :) [15:54] guntbert, that refers to encrypted home directory, not full-disk encryption [15:54] hello [15:55] hi sham_ [15:55] ok, thanks abhi - [15:55] knums: hmpf, topic says we're talking about ubuntu here :) [15:55] shumpie: :) [15:55] nibbler, yah mine is full disk with dm-crypt/luks (afaik) set up through alt. install cd [15:55] i mean the only autorun im familiar with is the one in /.kde/autorun [15:55] MikeChelen: you are right - I misread - sorry no experience here [15:55] I will check if there is a Lyx channel first [15:55] MikeChelen, cryptsetup luksOpen .... is what you need most likely [15:55] guntbert, no prob, that is cloase, thanks for trying to help :) [15:56] shumpie: what is Lyx [15:56] llutz, yeah i know. but i don't think, that this was changed :) ... for private i use ubuntu [15:56] abhi_nav: a tex-"frontend" [15:56] hola [15:56] llutz: a text frontend for what?

[16:37] No. === ezekiel_ is now known as kanine5 [16:37] ded, missing printcap? [16:37] ttech5: nah, 1445 bots [16:37] jon5000, under the listing for your wireless card, it should show a lot of lines including 'driver:' what kind of wireless card is it, btw [16:37] dr3mro: openoffice uses your existing java. it doesn't provide it's own. ibm java is available for linux with a license. i don't see any reason you wouldn't want sun java tbh. [16:37] What grep command again? [16:37] adapa, sun java uses 182 mb of ram [16:38] MilitantPotato: :) :) :) [16:38] emergency help [16:38] jon5000, dmesg | grep [16:38] I want to remove user but ssh says [16:38] adapa, what is the name of open office java [16:38] that is logged in [16:38] what to do?

[16:39] i don't see process anymore in ps x [16:39] ttech5: did you do a proper install, or install while in windows (using WUBI) [16:39] dr3mro: that's probably just a poorly written java programme you're running on it. open office uses the java you already have. you could try the openjdk which is in the universe repository iirc. but sun provide theirs for free and pay developers to put more time into it. you should take advantage of that. [16:39] what happens? [16:39] the_hydra, what is "filter" [16:39] Chili555, it is an airforce one 54g [16:39] jon5000, under system -administration - hardware drivers, is there an option to activate it?

[16:41] lebron: i've seen it done with an iphone and rhythmboc but it was a bit of a hack. [16:41] abhi_nav, i know but i thought due to evolution it could be related.. :p [16:42] lebron: yah its fine :) [16:42] adapa_, oke, ill google it a little thx:) [16:42] rlameiro, then..I suggest to copy the ISO content out to a directory....modify it there...then create a new ISO [16:42] ttech5: you downloaed iso? then you may know the version from the name of that iso file [16:42] does anybody have an experience to install Ubuntun netbook remix on eeePC 1005PE -- have a problem with the screen brightness, the screen is dimmed sporadically [16:43] the_hydra: will i loose the boot feature? because i am on x86, but editing a iso for powerpc [16:43] yes i did, brb i'll check the name of the iso [16:43] rlameiro, not sure about that..sorry [16:43] the_hydra: thnx [16:43] Chili555, no option under device drivers. Result of grep is: a line like 0000:02:04.0: PCI INT A Link[LNKE] -> GSI 11 ... [16:43] hello all [16:44] can anyone tell me more about wireless power management in ubuntu and how to turn it off? [16:44] ok it's version 8.04.4-desktop-i386 [16:44] what is wireless power management? [16:44] ttech5: if you can try to install 9.04 or 9.10 [16:44] osotogari: right click the network manager applet and disable the enable wireless check box. works for me. [16:45] i'll try installing 9.10 later, thanks! [16:45] osotogari, sudo iwconfig power off [16:45] ttech5: you dont or you cant have it now ? [16:45] ciao a tutti [16:45] jon5000, do you have an ethernet connection on the machine? [16:45] osotogari: sudo iwconfig wlan0 power off [16:45] i need to still burn the cd of it and download the iso, luckily i have two computers === diego is now known as Guest49213 [16:46] Any Xorg-Edgers? ne1 /w r600/rv670? [16:46] adapa_ chili555 - that will turn off the adapter. Is there any situation where ubuntu would be turning the wireless adapter on/off depending on usage? [16:46] i'll go do that and report my fnding when i'm done [16:46] note - disabling a wireless doesn't power off a wifi device on my system [16:46] osotogari, i dont believe so man iwconfig [16:46] osotogari: no, it shouldn't do. all adapters i've seen don't do that. === gnaruag is now known as gaurang [16:47] I'd like to compare. My system isn't working... I turned of KMS and that fixed thigs. [16:47] osotogari: if they do do that it's likely to be a hardware specific thing, not software [16:47] Direct rendering is no. [16:47] Wait... I hjave a bug open. [16:47] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/533418 [16:47] rlameiro, you're welcome [16:48] Hello all. Is there a command to safely remove a USB WIFI card? Or do you only have to safely eject data-storing USB devices? [16:48] Chili5000, yes Ethernet [16:48] wensleydale: the latter [16:48] adapa_ chili555 - over ssh/remote desktop my connection keeps getting dropped. I was just wondering if this maybe hardward related [16:48] running over wireless [16:49] Hey guys Im stuck afetr updating 9.10.. It wont boot.. I get a recovery screen asking to choose noram or recovery mode.. but it wont boot to an of them.. please help !! [16:49] wensleydale: You could down the interface first... but you should be fine. [16:49] right apparently teamviewer doesnt work with wine [16:49] How to delete user from ubuntu? [16:49] osotogari: maybe signal strength related. wireless is known for dropping packets left right and center. although there are protocol arrangements to minimise disruption. === cp is now known as Guest25674 [16:49] sudo deluser Username? [16:49] LjL cheako : So ifconfig wlan# down then remove and its allgood? [16:49] osotogari: try moving closer? [16:49] wensleydale: The worst side effect I canthink of is your DHCP lease would not be realesed... Though I can't speek to the wifi side of things. [16:49] Noni upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 ? [16:50] wensleydale: i think you can even skip the ifconfig. "safe" removal is to make sure data has been written to flash storage, and no operation is going on during the removal. wifi cards have no need for that. [16:50] jon5000, just a sec and i will give you a link... [16:50] Craig>no.. clean install of 9.10.. it then did an update.. and now wont boot properly [16:50] wensleydale: "dhclient -r wlan#" should take care of all that. [16:51] did you add repos ? [16:51] hello all [16:51] OK thank you LjL. [16:51] adapa_ - ill try it [16:51] cheako, what is a DHCP lease? [16:51] wensleydale: LjL is correct, you can just pull the card. [16:51] Not sure.. im noob... It had everything selected by default [16:52] pls i just started my system and the is no sound, i have checked the soound preference and it says dummy output, wht do i do? [16:52] OK, thankyou cheako and LjL Bye :-) [16:52] wensleydale: It's vary old, the next evolution of Bootp. the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol is the means by witch most computers join a network. [16:52] ah then there should be no problem , wont boot meaning ? are u multibooting it with another os , does grub load? [16:53] Noni: If you hit escape when it says "loading grub" you can choose an older kernel, if that lets you boot, uninstall the latest one [16:53] I'm looking for 3D acceleration for my RV670, using the Ubuntu xor-edgers ppd. [16:54] pls i just started my system and there is no sound, i have checked the sound preference and it says dummy output, wht do i do? [16:54] Is there any where I can go to get help with this? [16:54] militantpotato , doesnt grub list all kernels , unless menulst has been edited? [16:54] shumpil: hey, i got sound on amarok, and now my internet doesn't have sound. Looks like u were right. Do u know how to get sound back on google chrome? [16:54] mefuntee: pastebin lspci output. [16:55] craig_freenode: If you're dual-booting, yes, if not, no [16:55] which flash plugin would you recommend? (adobe flash / swfdec / gnash ) [16:55] No multi booting... Currently on a screen which at the very top says GNU GRUB version 1.97~beta4.. with option below for me to highlight one and press enter.. tried it but wont boot get errors.. Options are Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-generic and recovery mode [16:55] hello, I am trying to configure Apache server access log; I understand it should not be logging by default: I am looking into /etc/apache2/apache2.conf and I do not find any "CustomLog " lines ... but for some reason my server is already logging into /var/log/apache2/ ... is this normal? [16:55] mtrg: if you want all flash videos/animations to work...adobe flash [16:55] mtrg: you should probably go with flashplugin-installer (adobe) unless you have a good reason not to [16:55] mtrg: They all suck IMHO, but flash after the install seams to work the best. [16:56] Noni: did you notice what the errors said? [16:56] Belloto, yes [16:56] I try it now and let you know.. [16:56] mtrg , gnash [16:56] craig_freenode: why [16:56] mtrg , coz it works === miguel is now known as Guest9436 === Zen is now known as Guest22967 [16:57] craig_freenode: adobe's work too? [16:57] I wrote a really little backup script for my server. It's two lines, one for the backup, the second just echo "backup successful $(date)" > home/myuser/logs/backup.log, if I run it as sudo then it works, without sudo it won't write to the backup log. This would be fine "normally" excepting that I'm adding it as a cron job, [16:57] Belloto, see something like ErrorLog logs/error_log? [16:57] Yes, my vote is for gnash also... please help improve it with us. [16:57] alright, will go with gnash -- at least helping improving it [16:57] mtrg , try gnash and you wont complain :P [16:58] Hello again [16:58] if it sucks, i still have the choice ;) [16:58] jon5000, see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1419368&highlight=4318 See post #6.

[17:04] the_hydra, I do not have any lines containing "CustomLog" string (apart from a commented one, before the log formats definitions) ... that's the reason I am confused: my server should not be creating "/var/log/apache2/acces.log" files [17:04] craig_freenode: I'd like to stick with Gchrome if its at all possible [17:04] ori , just checking [17:04] craig_freenode: lol no prob [17:05] no prob being , no prob with sound in firefox ?

You can share NTFS filesystmes [18:01] opps that was for spexi :) [18:01] chili555 ok i just posted in the networking and wireless section my nick there is DogoDave [18:04] _numbers: That guide says the kernel modules are included in Dapper Drake, so probably Karmic as well. Also the page was last updated last year, so you can probably try the guide, plus the project itself is on sourceforge.

"man fsck.ext3" for example [18:22] I want to change the page size for a Writer document [18:22] elijah: file > page setup? [18:22] edakiri: run the program "aptitude". it can do that. [18:23] VCoolio: That is where you would logically think it would be nbut that menu item does not exist (or anything like it) [18:23] dehqan: run the program "aptitude" from a terminal. it can do that. [18:23] the_hydra : i use this command, but nothing shows up : man fsck | grep "use -c" [18:23] hi, i'm having a problem. the same problem like this one https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/447602 [18:23] anyone knows what to do? [18:24] leohartx, man fsck.ext3 | col -b | grep \-c [18:24] elijah: perhaps from the menu file ->properties ? [18:24] leohartx, or better...man fsck.ext3 | col -b | grep -C 3 \-c [18:24] how do i ignore ownership on a volume? [18:24] elijah: format > page > page [18:24] whats the easiest route for setting up a virtual email server these days? about 3-4 years ago i spent at least 2 days setting one up (i believe i ended up using vpopmail/qmail); anything easier out there today? maybe just a package lol [18:24] edakiri: That is just metadata [18:24] MgMt: only root can ignore ownership [18:25] VCoolio: Thanks, you just saved me a bunch of time [18:25] edakiri im trying to save torrents to a partition but it says permission denied [18:25] the_hydra, there's nothing [18:26] About every 10 minutes or so, my mouse cursor jumps to the bottom left corner of my bottom left workspace. [18:26] It's extremely annoying [18:26] hey, someone knows to stop the noise when i start playing an audio file? [18:26] @MgMt :- Change the attributes of directory in which u are trying to save to 777 [18:26] Royall: i've never seen that [18:26] how do i change the attributes? [18:26] chmod [18:26] I'm just working and bam, I'm in my bottom left workspace [18:27] 77 are risky fr secure purpose [18:27] Can someone point me to a link for vzaccess for linux, googled 'till I'm sick and could use a hand, tia :) [18:27] gunji: 777 is almost always bad advice - at least without an extra warning [18:27] leohartx, dunno then === b0w is now known as zz_b0w [18:27] ya i gave warning fr 777 [18:27] leohartx, just fire up fsck with "-c" option then [18:27] gunji what would the code look like for /dev/sda2 [18:28] the_hydra : "-c" or "-C", which one ? [18:28] MgMt: please don't do that - you will mess up a great lot in your system [18:28] leohartx, from man page, I say "-c" [18:28] dnt use 777 on /dev/sda2 [18:29] guntbert how do i make it so i can save torrents to a different partition? [18:29] im getting permission denied errors [18:29] Won't torrents save to a local directory?? [18:29] i dont have enough space [18:29] my ubuntu partition is only 10 gigs [18:29] ouch [18:30] plus i dont wanna move the files or redownload when i reformat [18:30] MgMt: you can set the ownership of any directory to your user (but again - don't do that for a complete partition) [18:30] the_hydra : -c is an invalid option [18:30] the whole partition is downloads [18:30] guntbert, is MgMt on a wubi install? [18:30] leohartx, what's your filesystem type? [18:30] guntbert is right , make a specific folder , but dnt set higher privelage to whole partition [18:31] MgMt: you can do it with the directory where it is mounted [18:31] the_hydra : mine is fat32 [18:31] i used pysdm to mount it on boot [18:31] greezmunkey: don't know - ask him :) [18:31] MgMt?? wubu? [18:32] im using a fresh 9.10 install [18:32] s/wubu/wubi [18:32] leohartx, ok, try "fsck.vfat -t" [18:32] idk what wubi is [18:32] R : read 4 Write W : 2 , execute x : 1 [18:32] ciao [18:32] the_hydra : it says : -t and -w require -a or -r, which option should i use ? [18:33] MgMt, you built a system on 10GB, ...as a test? [18:33] owner group anybody is syntax ( 7 7 7) [18:33] no, i have multiple partitions [18:33] !it | mimi1 [18:33] mimi1: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [18:33] multiple installs [18:33] do command chmod 700 for a particualr directory and work will be done [18:33] leohartx, not sure...try -a [18:34] MgMt :- use chmod 600 /dev/sda1/folder [18:34] safe and easy command [18:34] hello. I just installed ubuntu 9.10 but fail to boot xp from grub2 - it's showing a black screen with blinking cursor on top left corner [18:34] edakiri: aptitude can comapre and select lower ? if yes what is option ? [18:35] gunji: if he's not the owner, this way he won't even be able to read it, will he? Why not chown? [18:35] gunji: don't forget about chown [18:35] ya guntbert is right [18:35] the_hydra : i see, but even with those option when using fsck.vfat, it still gives this message : Got 3014656 bytes instead of 15719952 at 16384 [18:35] i just did chmod 700 /dev/sda2 and now i cant make a folder [18:35] is there a way to disable an interface in /etc/network/interfaces without simply commenting the configuration out? [18:36] MgMt that wasnt a good idea [18:36] is there a way to fix that? [18:36] better chmod 550 it [18:36] leohartx, not sure how to proceed...maybe it just said it does it best but can not fix all the problems [18:36] and hope it works again [18:36] MgMt: you want to sudo chmod mgmt /that/special/folder - AND you were told not to do it on the partition but on a directory [18:37] MgMt: wait [18:37] im waiting [18:37] MgMt: I mistyped - correct version you want to sudo chown mgmt /that/special/folder [18:37] the_hydra, well, thank for your help [18:38] oh i think its chmod 660 /dev/sdX#, not 550 [18:38] MgMt: the default permissions for /dev/sda was probably 660, revert that [18:38] lagged [18:38] is there a way to disable an interface in /etc/network/interfaces without simply commenting the configuration out? [18:38] leohartx, you're welcome [18:39] #ubuntu-it [18:39] #ubuntu-it-chat [18:39] i still cant create a folder in /dev/sda2 [18:39] MgMt: you need a folder - don't work on the raw partition!!! [18:40] MgMt: do 'mount' and see what /dev/sda2 is mounted to; that's the folder you want to mess with; for example /media/Download [18:40] VCoolio: thx for stepping in :-) [18:40] media/sda2 [18:41] MgMt: now in that folder make a new folder that is going to be your user folder, so "sudo mkdir /media/sda2/Downloads" then own it by "sudo chown -R MgMt /media/sda2/Downloads [18:41] spudulike, if you entirely remove it, then it becomes eligable for management by MN, you can then uncheck it in NM, and viola! [18:42] hi greezmunkey, I am just using the command line tho [18:42] it says changing ownership not permitted [18:42] spudulike, or you could shut it down from the command line, e.g. sudu ifdown {interface} [18:43] sudo [18:43] greezmunkey, I'd like it to be auto disabled at startup [18:43] spudulike, add the ifdown command to a script that is executed when you log in. [18:43] ‎i used sudo [18:43] MgMt: please copy the command you typed to the channel [18:44] sudo chown -R andy /media/sda2/Downloads [18:44] greezmunkey, hmm, yes, that's a good suggestion. I just hoped there would be a way in the interfaces file [18:44] Can anyone tell me what file Startup Applications writes to? [18:44] spudulike, the interfaces file is for affecting the attributes of an interface, not whether is up or down [18:45] MgMt: please paste the output of ls -ld /media/sda2/Downloads [18:45] drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 16384 2010-03-07 13:41 /media/sda2/Downloads [18:46] MgMt: try this "sudo chown -R andy:andy /media/sda2/Downloads [18:46] VCoolio: maybe without -R ? [18:46] greezmunkey, do you know what actually causes the interface to come up? [18:46] guntbert: maybe, but what will happen if the torrents create dirs there? [18:47] is it just a case of letting come up and then disabling it? There is no way to disable it bydefault? [18:47] spudulike, in your rc scripts, I believe. [18:47] hi all [18:47] guntbert: I rather think it's not possible to own stuff as user in a root group [18:47] hmm, ok, it just seems a bit of a workaround. [18:47] greezmunkey, thanks for your advice on that [18:47] permission stsill denied [18:48] how to compare version of 2 packages with the same name and select lower version [18:48] spudulike, Well, yes. Do you want the interface down all of the time? [18:48] it says operation not peritted [18:48] I'm updating a system and I upgraded the nvidia driver to nvidia-glx-195...problem is that X doesn't run [18:48] greezmunkey, yes [18:48] mozilla 3.6 is still nt out in ubuntu repo , any ideas when it will be released [18:48] just one specific one [18:48] spudulike, Can you remove the interface? [18:48] no [18:48] it's built in [18:48] gunji: It won't go in the Karmic repo, it will be in the default Lucid install [18:48] spudulike, why would you want to keep the interface config in the interfaces file tho? [18:48] spudulike, then the workaround isn't such a workaround! [18:49] would it be a problem if sda2 is mounted? [18:49] MgMt: ah, good thinking, try that [18:49] unmount it? [18:49] VCoolio: I assumed the folder was empty right now [18:49] MgMt: yes [18:49] spudulike, your system is going to try to use any hardware that you have drivers for, and some that you don't. So , disable it at log in. [18:50] ok greezmunkey - thank you [18:50] sebsebseb: Lucid release date is 29 april . [18:50] gunji: yes [18:50] bearing in mind that I only have CLI access, how do you change the keyboard layout? [18:50] its too late for a mozilla upgrade [18:50] vcoolio it says only root can unmount [18:50] is this configured in xorg.conf? [18:51] spudulike, setxkbmap [18:51] MgMt: that's right, sudo umount /dev/blah [18:51] gunji: well there is a ppa for later Firefox, but not sure of the details, and that's rather daft having to use a ppa for later Firefox in the first place, or having to install yourself in another way [18:51] spudulike, actually no, that wouldn't work [18:51] !firefox [18:51] firefox is the default web-browser on Ubuntu. To install the latest version, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion Installing plugins: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxPlugins - See also !firefox-3.5 [18:51] having a issue connecting to my network ive tried both of my routers here in the house and i cannot connect i know im typing in the right password but its still not working [18:51] sebsebseb: dnt want a PPA install , but need 3.6 badly fr its features (spcialy a good support behind passwd protected proxy) [18:51] spudulike, you said you have CLI only so xorg.conf shouldn't be in play. Look in your .profile file in you user home directory. [18:51] will setxkbmap give a list of options ? [18:52] spudulike, setxkbmap requires X tho [18:52] gunji: well above is the ppa link === jnperlin_ is now known as jnperlin [18:52] what file do autostart applications get written to (i.e. the ones specified in the Startup Applications applet)? Thx [18:52] oh, how do I do it from the CLI? [18:52] ya [18:52] so wait till 29th april :( [18:53] gunji: really major programs such as Firefox, and Open Office, should come from the repo's in my opinion, and not just security updates, but actsual proper new versions, when they come out, but nope that's not how they do things like that [18:53] gunji: find the .tar.gz, extract and run firefox from there; [18:53] gunji: the ppa is [18:53] gunji: well [18:53] spudulike, look here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3907470&postcount=4 [18:53] having a problem connecting to my network i know im typing in the right password but not working on both of my routers here [18:53] gunji: you will have the same thing as if you installed from source, or very nearly the same thing [18:54] having a problem connecting to my network i know im typing in the right password but not working on both of my routers here [18:54] it gave me problems so i reverted back [18:54] gunji: ok well you can directly install from Mozilla [18:54] the second one uses aes do i have to change something for it to work?

I only play Emulators and Steam games, Would I be good with Wine? [19:19] do you happen to have a link to a package that would do the trick or do you need more information? [19:19] silverwolf22: It doesn't make you reformat anything. It doesn't install a different boot loader either, and you can easily uninstall it from windows. [19:19] need more info.... need to know the driver version and whatnot [19:19] silverwolf22: Steam _does_ work with wine. But you need to work at it. There are loads of emulators available. [19:19] where can i find that information? [19:20] Hello. I installed Tor/Privoxy and Vidalia in synaptic package manager. But when i put the settings into firefox the proxy wont work. help???

[19:20] i mean the most lightweight distro ... [19:20] nhak: xubuntu, I guess [19:20] nhak: or lubuntu [19:21] silverwolf22: wine does not require windows, it provides the libraries you need itself. i'm using steam for source games on wine and they work, but i had to follow a lot of online how to guides. it doesn't work out of the box. [19:21] josh__, , about 1 hour ago chili5000 made a suggestion of a link for me regarding this very driver issue. my system crapped out and cannot find it. do you have a history of this site?

[19:24] cheako: just use /e/n/interfaces, no need to use networkmanager [19:24] sebsebseb, thanks [19:24] spudulike: Nano is easy enough to just use instead of learn to use first. I think nano is installed by default. [19:24] adapa__: oh didn't know about vimtutor, seems like something good to know about when it comes to Linux distros though. [19:25] adapa__: assuming here that it's also for other distros as well [19:25] for all that suggested nano - thank you - yes this is what I needed [19:25] trism, thank you!

[19:51] densone: I just do ifconfig and it is no longer visible [19:51] Lappie: if you untar it, you'll see a file called README and one called INSTALL, read them [19:51] densone: fixable by doing sudo /etc/init.d/miredo restart [19:51] cyberix, so mirdedo is bringing the interface down? [19:52] untar it? [19:52] Lappie: yes, it's a gzipped tar file [19:52] what is untar it? do u mean double click on it in the downloads manager? [19:52] tar -zxvf yourfile.tar.gz [19:52] markd, ok, your card is not configured, in a term, type sudo lshw -C network and paste the result [19:52] densone: the interface is virtual, and created by miredo [19:53] ahhhh [19:53] cyberix, I see [19:53] densone: and I am trying to figure out why it disappears, so I could file a bug [19:53] l [19:53] L [19:54] Hi.

[19:54] my tar -xvfz is refusing "z" flag... should I install something first? [19:55] @greezmunkey you want the wireless adapter settngs right? [19:55] madjoe: what is the name of the file you want to untar [19:55] *.tar.gz [19:55] madjoe: you need to put the 'f' last [19:55] markd, yes [19:55] madjoe: f must be the last flag (filename) [19:55] Would anyone be willing to compile http://mikoandras.hu/projects/mysql_auth/mysql_auth-0.8.4.tar.gz and tell me if they get any warnings? [19:55] madjoe: use f as last parameter [19:55] oh, it IS important how you sort your flags? [19:56] i figd that out, im still trying to fig the rest, i just double click'd it and dragged the folder onto my desktop [19:56] ok, guys, got it! thanks! [19:56] madjoe: only that one, as you're essentially saying -f [19:56] z flag is not available on all unixes [19:56] @greezmunkey the chipset is BCM34XG [19:56] brjann: loud and clear! thnx!

The S-Video out won't work either.. nvidia-settings won't help me.... Can you guys do anything?

I used it yesterday but I've forgot the command ;-) [19:58] how do i enable wireless on a laptop using broadcom b43 [19:58] @greezmunkey actually not im using sta wireless driver not b43 [19:58] markd, ok, what does the "configuration" line say? [19:59] jon5000: http://tinyurl.com/yer5g3y [19:59] @greezmunkey i think i know the issue im using fcutter [19:59] jon5000: :) [19:59] markd, nice to know!

[20:01] @grezzmunkey do i have to reboot after? [20:01] Ridpojken: lshw ? lspci? [20:01] markd, sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart should do it. [20:01] Ridpojken: http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/ALSA_device_labels [20:01] i need a proper way to execute a (non-daemon) shell script on boottime, before X starts [20:01] (interactive shell script) [20:01] xig: /etc/rc.local [20:02] llutz: i tried that, but it didnt seem to work [20:02] llutz: i placed /path/to/my/script || true into it [20:02] @greezmunkey now reboot? [20:02] xig: you put it before the exit line? [20:02] sadata_: ofc [20:03] :) [20:03] markd, I am not aware that removing fwcutter requires a restart... [20:03] markd, sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart should do it. [20:03] never mind i found it in the synaptic packager manager [20:03] @greezmunkey i did both [20:03] @greezmunkey just to be safe [20:04] xig: interactive ? [20:04] markd, guess you're covered then :) [20:04] erUSUL: it prompts for some keyboard input [20:04] @greezmunkey fingers crossed [20:04] erUSUL: and then terminates [20:04] markd, sometimes it's just a process... [20:05] markd, brb [20:05] linxeh, Tnx! Then everything in the app is correctly configured. Still, I can't get it to sound.

I have the x200m running in jaunty without a problem though [20:08] can anyone tell me how to edit registry from ubuntu live? [20:08] did you mean nouveau [20:08] Ender: ubuntu doesnt have a registry [20:08] registry? [20:08] lol [20:08] Ender: there is no registry [20:08] i think he meant a windows registry on a hard drive [20:08] windows partitions registry [20:08] Ender: windows registry? ask in ##windows [20:08] alright [20:08] Ender: boot your windows system from a windows installation cd. it has command line tools on there to help [20:09] Ender: can't do it on ubuntu, different tools [20:09] @greezmunkey tried to restart interface and ubuntu locked up [20:09] Ender: regardless, fixing windows isnt an ubuntu issue [20:09] thanks for the help will do [20:09] @greezmunkey im wondering if this is because i installed using wubi? [20:09] Ender: BartPE is a great tool! [20:10] markd, that's how I started with U, should'nt matter. Is it locked now, did it lock on boot? [20:11] @greezmunkey it locked when i tried to restart the wireless interface becuase it said the device wasn't ready [20:11] there we go package was xserver-xorg-video-nouveau [20:11] rebooting [20:11] I checked out some window managers and they all look pretty much the same to me. Why is Gnome so much slower than fluxbox/lxde/xfce ? [20:12] llutz erUSUL it wrote a line like echo test > /testfile into it and this revealed my script gets launched. maybe stdin/stdout are not connected properly at that time? [20:12] markd, right, my bad, restart the PC, but leave the interface alone, you need to check a couple of log files first. [20:12] @greezmunkey ok [20:12] markd, once it's back up, paste the contents of dmesg [20:13] Could someone compile http://mikoandras.hu/projects/mysql_auth/mysql_auth-0.8.4.tar.gz and tell me if they get any warnings? [20:13] what ubuntu offtopic channels are there? official or not [20:13] @greezmunkey how do i run it? linux noob [20:13] markd, in a term just type dmesg, then copy the result [20:13] @greezmunkey lol [20:13] he means "terminal", the thing you find in "accessories" [20:14] @greezmunkey lol [20:14] markd, :) [20:14] @greezmunkey DUH!!!

[20:20] neodragon, which version does she use ? [20:20] how can i disable the automatic X starting on boottime? [20:20] xig: disable gdm if you set it to run at boot [20:21] markd, so back out the ndiswrapper, right?! [20:21] aeon-ltd: how to disable? i am new to ubuntu (coming fro gentoo) [20:21] @greezmunkey its removed [20:21] aeon-ltd: i have no script for gdm in /etc/rc2.d [20:21] nhak, if you have wine installed and configured you should be able to right-click on the yahoo executable and it should start the install process just like in windows [20:21] #greezmunkey removed sta just to be sure now im putting it back on [20:21] @greezmunkey cross your fingers [20:22] nhak, my wife always installs the latest one when it come out === WindPower_ is now known as WindPower [20:22] neodragon, and then she can use it, has no problem ?

[20:25] markd, not necessarily. ndiswrapper is only for cards that don't have linux equivelants - sfaik [20:25] nhak, wine puts an icon in the applications menu and she just clicks on it and it starts up and works flawlessly under wine [20:25] xig: x and gdm are started almost simultaneously by default on stock ubuntu, gdm itself is a X script/login manager [20:25] @greezmunkey any idea how to fix a currputed wubi disk [20:25] neodragon,okay, thanks for the info i will try it [20:26] markd, blow it away and reinstall? [20:26] what is the name of the service that offers remote vnc connections? [20:26] markd: the installer is corrupted? [20:26] @greezmunkey then i have to do this all over again [20:26] how to say apt-get (or other ) not download again packages that are in /var/cache/apt/archives before ? [20:26] i need to enable this through ssh because my keyboard stopped working during an *UPGRADE* [20:26] markd, well at least you know what to do! [20:26] @Trek no i think the virtual disk did keeps locking up [20:26] @greezmunkey true [20:26] nhak, just a tip make sure when you configure wine it is running in compatibility mode for XP [20:26] ok [20:26] @greezmunkey stay away from ndiswrapper and b43 [20:27] question for chatroom [20:27] i need to know what service is started when you go preferences/remote desktop and enable it [20:27] how to fix a currputed wubi virtual disk [20:27] dehqan: usually, apt-get won't re-download something if it is already in /var/cache/apt/archives [20:27] markd, you'll get it - no doubt on ndiswrapper. That's what the compatibility lists are for :) [20:27] later [20:28] @Trek you familar with wubi? [20:28] Hi there! Can somebody please help me with fixing Ubuntu 9.10? I have some strange problem with it - windows are not resizable and moveable, it is not possible to open folders (it raises an error about no application is associated with this kind of a document) [20:28] nhak, oh and don't use the version of wine in the ubuntu repos. go to the www.winehg.org website and install the .deb for the latest version of wine. I thinks it is version 1.1.35 or something [20:28] markd: I'm afraid I agree with greezmunky, blow it away and reinstall. Wubi does seem prone to corruptions... [20:28] and after login cursor is in "busy" state [20:29] markd: not for installation, but if you've got a corrupted installer, something failed at some point [20:29] looks something wrong with gconf or something like this? [20:29] aeon-ltd: thanks, i know that. but it seems that gdm or x or both are started somewhere different from the other services, like asynchronically [20:29] @losher seems to be the consenus [20:29] aeon-ltd: sysv-rc-conf tells me gdm isnt started in any runlevel, but the system boots into it [20:29] somebody please help? :) [20:29] hmmm nice one removeing the nouveau driver resulted in a non-workign display even at boot time [20:30] !upstart | xig [20:30] xig: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model.

[20:31] xig: did you try the alternate method the other person gave you? his/her solution was only two lines of commands i'd reccommend you try that first, reboot see if it works === stephen_ is now known as thesteo82 [20:31] GUYS to MAKE your FIREFOX faster.

[20:48] photocopy: then I guess we try using CLI commands to see if your hardware is responding correctly. Worse case, your burner is kaput... [20:48] yep aenon-ltd [20:48] I'm experiencing performance issues while running a server (Left 4 Dead 2 dedicated server, for instance) via tmux (The same problem raises with screen and dtach too). Does anyone have a clue about what would be causing it? [20:48] Losha; that would be retarded, i hardly ever burn or even read cds in this drive. i'll be back in a second [20:48] zongo: does it work in other OSes? [20:49] it would not work in arch [20:49] zongo: any other OSes you could try? [20:49] I have just tried Arch though [20:49] i dont have other Oses handy [20:50] Hey guys, I have 9.10 and dual monitors. How can I have my wallpaper not center between the two monitors? [20:50] do you have any idea aenon-ltd ? [20:50] zongo: are you now running a clean install of ubuntu? [20:50] yes I am [20:50] fresh install [20:50] reformatted the drive [20:50] changed my partitions as well [20:51] zongo: it could have been a kernel update you didn't notice that dropped the module for your network card? [20:51] it is a complete mistery really... [20:51] how to sort processes by their memory usage (RES)? top -??? [20:51] i am trying to setup vpn through the built in option in network manager but its not available and ive installed the network-manager-vpnc but still no go any ideas? [20:51] madjoe: install htop, F6 [20:51] blakkheim: F6? [20:51] well when you drop the module wouldn't you see it in places such as rc.conf [20:52] or if you would run lspci -v, you could see it [20:52] at least [20:52] lol [20:52] blakkheim: is F6 a default shortcut for it's GUI? [20:52] Flood test... [20:52] zongo: no, if a new kernel was released that no longer supported youir card? [20:52] but that was not the case [20:52] RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN [20:52] RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN [20:52] RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN [20:52] RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN [20:52] GeneralSpecific: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:52] madjoe: use F6 in htop [20:52] blakkheim: ok, thanks [20:53] the module then can vanish of the grid [20:53] can you forward the same port to two different IP addresses? [20:53] blakkheim: amazing! thanx! :) [20:53] zongo: I would expect messages in dmesg if the NIC hardware went off-line. Are there any? [20:53] Losha: it detects the DVD properly. Its offering me write speeds of 2.4x 4x 6x 8x, auto, ignore, or custom. I was told I was supposed to burn this image at 2x... when i manually set it to 2x it shows auto in the speed box. Do you know if this means it will burn at 2x or will it burn it fast? [20:53] well that a good point. I checked there and nothing [20:53] guys, there's any way to run ubuntu binaries on my mac? [20:53] neezer: no. How would you know where to send which packets? [20:53] was wondering how I go about installing new nvidia drivers via update manager [20:54] pHcF: no [20:54] I could not find a way to at least comprehend what had happened [20:54] ikonia: :/ ok thanks [20:54] pHcF: yeah you can recompile some unix applications for mac [20:54] photocopy: well that's progress. Choose the closest 2.4X. The main difference is that slower speed burns have fewer errors on them, that's all.... [20:54] and then back, without me doing anything at all [20:54] aeon-ltd: i just recompiled an application [20:54] but it is not working [20:55] well, I am going to make sure i have the module handy in case it happens again :) [20:55] so, i'd like to know if there's any way to get the ubuntu binary working on mac [20:55] :/ [20:55] Losha: okay, fair enough, I just wanted 2x cause that is what they said, the type of media needs to be burned reeeeeeally well [20:55] hey all .. im trying to hardcode subs into a movie . .i know ffmpeg and mencoder won't do it .. do you know of any apps that can do this ? [20:55] because the same thing happened for my wifi card but I had the module, so i could just recompiled [20:55] Losha....I am just wondering about my torrent port. I have it going to my laptop when i'm using a cable, i am at 192.168.1.103, but when i use the wireless I'm at .104. I just want to know if I can forward the same port to both IP addresses. [20:55] without any issues === rainofkayos is now known as SolarisBoy [20:55] hello I seem to have run into a serious problem - error in synaptic when installing a kernel update. Now synatic won't start, instead tells me to run manually "dpkg --configure -a" but when I do I get "gzip: stdout: No space left on device" along with a lot of other failure messages. My /dev/sda3 which has 193MB allocated is full, not sure what I must do to fix it. [20:56] zongo: is this NIC built into the mobo?, if it is what happens if you try 'ifconfig'? [20:56] ok it appears to have started burning Losha... if anything cmoes up i'll tell you [20:56] ah well, I would have liked to understand what really happened [20:56] blakkheim: can I group those processes somehow, if I'd like to see Firefox as a single line, for example? [20:56] well no, when i do ifconfig i see it [20:56] rkj, try: sudo apt-get clean, that will remove downloaded packages and clean up some spave [20:56] space* [20:56] ifconfig -a yields the eth0, loopback, and wlan [20:56] perfect [20:57] rkj, furthermore I suggest using gparted to make the partition bigger [20:57] neezer: no, you need to choose one or the other, and then change the address when you change from cable to wireless. Sorry.... [20:57] thanks Losha [20:57] zongo: try 'ifconfig up' see if it connects [20:57] Guys i have posted a complete set of ways to FIX your sound in ubuntu 9.10 IF any of you have problems try them and SEE what works for you: here is the LINK: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8789064#post8789064 [20:57] photocopy: sometimes k3b hangs during verification, depending on the version. Let me know... [20:57] well I see it now but I have no ways of connecting to a wired now. [20:58] raj_: stop forcing help onto people, if people needed help they would post something. [20:58] and it is up and running [20:58] I'm going crazy, i have a two line script, first line backs up the files, second line updates the log, if i run the script by itself it works. when in the crontab it doesn't run the backup, it JUST updates the log. Any ideas? === adrigm1 is now known as adrigm [20:58] aeon-ltd: just a suggestion ill be heading off soon [20:58] StanManCan, and what command do you have in the crontab? [20:58] right now I am using a usb modem to connect [20:58] zongo: so it connects, but you can't see it as an interface? [20:59] StanManCan: paths are different when run from crontab, a common cause of problems. What is the first line of your script? [20:59] 55 15 * * * /var/local/sbin/backup [20:59] JoshuaL apt-get clean did not do it. Can I just change the partition size without screwing up the data on my hard drive? [20:59] Where is usually placed? I'm trying to figure out what uid_t is [20:59] well, I see the interface well, but the interface came back to life when i got home. At home unfortunately I have no way to connect with wire, so indeed I cannot test it for real [21:00] rkj, i never had problems resizing. But it is recommended to make a backup before doing so [21:00] Losha: #!/bin/sh [21:00] but I am pretty sure it will connect to the network [21:00] why is it that im overleveled, do a huge quickening chain, ending in a decent concurrence and barely damage something [21:00] .... wrong chatroom... sorru [21:00] i will try it tomorrow [21:00] rkj, but im not sure if you have gparted already (you probably cant install it because you dont have any space left). If you dont have it just run the livecd which has gparted on it [21:00] okay..i understand the benefits of versioning the libraries.  and how a binary tie to a particular version.  but one thing i'm still unclear about is, when you do say a yum update, and it updates a package from version 1.0 to 1.2, and package 1.0 was needed by an application that was installed.  how does it know to go to 1.2 after the yum update? [21:00] StanManCan: Sorry, I meant, the 2nd line... [21:00] r it doesnt?..and thats why yum update breaks programs? [21:00] when i installed openldap server with 'apt-get install slapd' it doesnt asked me for a password.. now .. how to login in to my phpldapadmin without that information ? [21:00] I really do not know what happened and really thought of a hardware fault === nikolam_ is now known as nikolam [21:01] StanManCan, and in that script it does all the stuff or> [21:01] and by moving my netbook around the card came back to life [21:01] Losha: s3cmd sync --delete-removed /var/www s3://my-bucket/www [21:01] JoshuaL apparently I don't [21:01] Mehdi: /usr/include/sys/types.h (dpkg -S is useful when you need to find things like that) [21:01] zongo: if it frequently does this in multiple OSes then its definitly a HW problem [21:01] first time [21:01] is there a way to make ntpdate set the time from a server even if it says the slew is too high [21:01] ? [21:02] but I will test it tomorrow in order to make sure [21:02] StanManCan: try putting in the full path to s3cmd. Cron doesn't search paths the way regular logins do... [21:02] JoahuaL do you think there's any way I can delete some packages to get space freed up? [21:02] what is a good ntp client htat is a client only not a server? [21:02] zongo: most liekly it wasn't a HW problem, just a slight hiccup [21:02] JoshuaL: Yes, it's just two lines, and if I run it by itself by typing /usr/local/sbin/www-backup then it works, but when i add to the crontab "55 15 * * * /usr/local/sbin/www-backup it only runs the second line which updates the log, not the first line which does the actual backup [21:02] rkj: you can clean your cache [21:02] rkj, try: sudo apt-get autoremove === |john| is now known as Colonel_Panic [21:03] would certainly hope so because I surely do not have the cash to fix it :) [21:03] aeon-ltd how? [21:03] StanManCan, hmm weird, im not that good with crons and scripts sorry [21:03] hanasaki: you'll need to set your clock to something approximately correct before you use ntpdate [21:03] rkj: you can, but you may be disappointed with how much space you get back. Do you know for sure where all your space has gone? [21:03] How can I configure how Ubuntu handles wallpapers on a dual monitor setup? I don't like the cross-monitor stretch. [21:03] StanManCan: try putting in the full path to s3cmd. Cron doesn't search paths the way regular logins do... [21:03] rkj: JoshuaL just told you one method, you can also sudo apt-get clean [21:04] aeon-ltd, he already tried the cleaning part :) [21:04] Losha no, I don't, and not sure how to find out [21:04] Losha: ahh, let me try that thanks [21:04] brjann: thanks, I was afraid of that... my clock drifts and for some reason ntpd looses touch with the internet servers sometimes; then it goes to strata 16 and never finds the servers again unless I restart the deamon === Colonel_Panic is now known as manga_lloyd [21:05] rkj: ok. start by opening a terminal, type sudo df -h and pastebin the results to http://ubuntu.pastebin.com | [21:05] brjann: what server do you use? npd? openntpd? [21:05] Losha except that 184M of the 193M is in the ./boot directory [21:05] I'm looking for a panel item that can show only available RAM memory! Anyone? [21:05] rkj, you could remove some old kernels [21:06] rkj: what JoshuaL said... [21:06] hanasaki: no, right now i'm using one of my university servers [21:06] rkj, http://tuxtweaks.com/2009/12/remove-old-kernels-in-ubuntu/ [21:06] but be careful with that! [21:07] hanasaki: but if i didn't have that, i'd use my country's ntp.org pool [21:07] hi [21:08] hanasaki: I run /usr/sbin/ntpdate utcnist.colorado.edu once a day from cron to adjust my clock. That keeps it close enough without running a server.... [21:08] 0.north-america.pool.ntp.org brjann I use that... but ntp sometimes ... lost ... blahblah "removing server from pool" [21:08] !hi | tilg [21:08] and they never get added back... eventually there are none to sync with in the pool [21:08] tilg: 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!

[21:10] guntbert: why not? [21:10] for skype use ubuntu-tweak... [21:11] ori: um, first hit on googling "download skype for ubuntu 9.10".... [21:11] you can easely install skype with it [21:11] !skype [21:11] ori: go to skype web and download the .deb [21:11] To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga [21:11] hanasaki: I run /usr/sbin/ntpdate utcnist.colorado.edu once a day from cron to adjust my clock.

[21:14] hanasaki: is it possible that your client is contacting the server too frequently and getting banned as a result? [21:15] I have a silly silly question... how do I know if I am running a 32 or 64 bit version of ubuntu? [21:15] GeekSquid: what does asterisk then connect to so I can call a regular landline/cell?

[21:17] hanasaki: trying to understand... asterisk uses a modem to connect to the landline, skype(paid - it is called skypeout) will allow land line calling, and again for ekiga you will need a sip provider to trunk to [21:17] hobbit-girl: i686 means 32bit [21:17] okay.. I didn't know... I'm very very new to all of this [21:17] hobbit-girl, x68_64 would be 64 bit [21:17] Losha, JoshuaL is this it? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/WSTfNzse [21:17] hanasaki: are you in the U.S.A.?

[21:33] OLA COÑO === daddoo is now known as Guest51143 [21:34] rohithwiz23, I would suggest using synaptic to install "xserver-xorg-video-radeon" [21:34] photocopy: you can check the integrity of the burn by running md5sum - < /dev/sr0 and comparing it to the md5sum from the iso file [21:34] rohithwiz23, or alternatively, visit ATi's website [21:34] rohithwiz23, and download their linux driver [21:34] kaolbrec: How do i do that (sorry im like a supter noob) [21:35] hi, the window decorations of the new theme i want to use were not updated. what can i do? (9.10 + gnome) [21:35] Losha: Yeah but there could have been issues with the download or the file itself, theres no way I can tell until I get the thing running the disc. thanks a ton though! im out now. [21:35] photocopy: ok, good luck [21:35] rohithwiz23, not a problem at all ;) Likely the easiest way: Click on applications, and then the last option on the menu - Software Centre [21:35] Hi, can somebody heko me. I need to get work my webcam with empathy [21:36] I have installed ubntu 9.10 first, then i edited partitions with gparted and isntalled windows 7 on another partition, the problem is now, that I'm not offered to boot up in windows, it automatically boot up in ubuntu. [21:36] photocopy: a good download site will post md5sums so you can check against the original.... [21:36] Who can install the wlancard driver on my laptop? [21:36] rohithwiz23, when that launches, type radeon in the search bar, and you should see an "fglrx" driver listed [21:36] Losha, http://pastebin.com/v8N0Bv0Y [21:36] rohithwiz23, actually, that's listed as ATI binary X.Org driver [21:37] kaolbrec: Installing...

What did you say the problem was? [21:38] FUERA EL CHELSEA [21:38] what is a good wiki app for x [21:39] slow learners in Madrid apparently... [21:39] Losha, JoshuaL I deleted the .bak files and then was able to run the dpkg --configure -acommand, and then an apt-get remove, also now can start synaptic package manager - so I think my problem is solved and sure appreciate the help. [21:39] i have an old version of ubuntu 8.04. can i upgrade right to 9.10? [21:39] WoodsDog: yes [21:39] Losha: sda1 has 39GB used but there is only 6,2 GB used when checking with baobab [21:39] Losha, so it seems :) [21:39] xanguawhat's the best process? change sources and update? === ldlework is now known as Guest31741 [21:40] Losha, what is taking all this space?? [21:40] rkj: In general, you only need to keep the current kernel and one previous (to fall back to if the current one has a problem)... [21:40] kaolbrec: Its installed.. [21:41] rohithwiz23, try turning on desktop effects then I guess ;) [21:41] morgan1911: let's find out! Open a terminal and run 'sudo -i' then hit return [21:41] i need help with my usb speakers [21:41] WoodsDog: then lucid lynx is released, you will see it in your update manager [21:41] Losha, go on [21:41] when* [21:42] morgan1911: now run: du -x / | sort -rn > /tmp/du.out It will take a bit of time to complete.... [21:42] Losha thanks I will go remove a bunch more [21:43] I have installed ubntu 9.10 first, then i edited partitions with gparted and isntalled windows 7 on another partition, the problem is now, that I'm not offered to boot up in windows, it automatically boot up in ubuntu. how do I fix this? [21:43] Losha, it saying, translated from swedish, can access /home/morgan/.gvfs: access denied [21:43] Losha, cant [21:43] kaolbrec: I clicked on Extra.. and the screen flashed a few times then I got a message the effects couldn't be enabled.. [21:43] morgan1911: that's normal [21:43] morgan1911: that's ok, just let it run, the .gvfs stuff isn't important.... [21:43] Losha, its finished [21:44] you cant fix it windows7 no recognize ubuntu restore boot from w7 disc or go to linux questions .org and see article how to dual boot with xp/2000/nt and install linux/windows whenever you want [21:44] Hello, i stupidly chose my old /home partition as a /usr during a reinstall, is there anyway to recover the files that are now gone? [21:44] rohithwiz23, curses. [21:44] morgan1911: ok, in /tmp/du.out you now have a sorted listing of files, from largest to smallest. Pastebin the first page of it for us... [21:44] rohithwiz23, I must confess that the limit of my powers is helping you find drivers. [21:45] rohithwiz23, you could browse the ubuntu forums for similar issues [21:45] kaolbrec: All right... [21:45] need help with usb tv tuner startech [21:45] kaolbrec: thanks for trying to help :) [21:45] Losha, http://pastebin.com/3XF5CFns [21:45] running karmic [21:46] rohithwiz23, I do my best :) [21:46] rohithwiz23, always learning and all that.

[21:50] madjoe: ? [21:50] helloo [21:50] dAnjou: maybe the theme you chose doesn't include window borders and has gtk2 only? or did you install emerald at any point in history and does that still draw the borders? [21:50] When starting my laptop, GRUB shows only Ubuntu and recovery, it does not show my Win7 partition, how do I change that? [21:50] dAnjou: would you recomend it? [21:51] madjoe: yes, absolutetly [21:51] madjoe: yes, or try kupfer, but the idea of a launcher app is great [21:51] morgan1911: Actually, I'm confused. Sizes are in K, so it says you're using about 9G but the df you posted says about 39G is in use on /. I don't know why those numbers don't match up [21:51] *absolutly [21:51] madjoe: Yes. [21:51] VCoolio: hmmm [21:51] hello coolio [21:51] jpds, VCoolio, dAnjou: how could I enter the preferences then? [21:51] Losha, hehe, yes thats whats confuses me to :) [21:52] madjoe: summon the little window, then right click or there is an arrow top right or something [21:52] jpds, VCoolio, dAnjou: I'd like to autohide it's panel... [21:52] VCoolio: what window? [21:52] madjoe: uhm, i recommend the launcher, not the dock [21:52] * dAnjou hates docks [21:53] quiero hablar con alguiennnnnnnnnnnç [21:53] madjoe: the gnome-do window but you seem to have it set to docky; not sure [21:53] dAnjou: how can I remove the dock then?

I wonder if it's something to do with virtualboxes virtual drives....? [21:53] hi, I installed windows after ubuntu so I had to recover the grub bootloader. This partially worked but I only get the grub shell and not a boot menu [21:53] knxville: Put that in your /boot/grub/menu.lst [21:53] VCoolio: how could I set the window not the docky? [21:53] madjoe: in the preferences [21:53] Dunkirk, you're a hero [21:53] how can I change my /etc/fstab to show a friendly name for my mounted disks? [21:53] dAnjou: I can't reach the preferences [21:53] what should I check [21:54] madjoe: why? don't you know how to reach them? [21:54] nrg__: You need to see if you have a /boot/grub/grub.conf. [21:54] dAnjou: I just don't see the window [21:54] oh [21:54] nrg__: Note that you can type raw grub commands into that grub shell to boot if you're desperate. [21:54] Dunkirk, does it have to be a specific place or? [21:54] Dunkirk, : I only have menu.lst I believe [21:55] madjoe: hmm, can't help you with that, sorry [21:55] dAnjou: ok, I quit the dock.. how can I properly start this? [21:55] I believe that I have grub 1 and not 2 [21:55] knxville: I put mine just above the stanza for memtest. [21:55] VCoolio: how to start the window? I quit the dock... [21:55] knxville: But, no, not really. [21:55] kyncani, tryed baobab as su, but it doesent report more 9GB [21:56] nrg__: Does it have entries in it? If you can get to the shell, but not load anything, I wonder if 1) you've specified the right root drive, or 2) you have a good menu.lst file. [21:56] madjoe: alt+f2 → 'gnome-do', then try the default short key [21:56] Are there any programs for Windows that mimic the effect of the window shake in Ubuntu? [21:56] VCoolio: this is the theme → http://www.bisigi-project.org/?p=55&lang=en [21:56] Losha, cant se how... [21:56] morgan1911: well at least that agrees with results of du.... [21:56] it says it has a gtk theme [21:56] Dunkirk, : yes it has entries in it [21:56] dAnjou: ok, I started it from my terminal window with: gnome-do & -> but the dock appeared [21:56] for ubuntu [21:57] Losha, fsck doesent report anything wrong [21:57] looks like it was working fine before [21:57] VCoolio: and i don't remember that i ever installed emerald [21:57] morgan1911: fsck -f ? [21:57] morgan1911: meant e2fsck -f ? [21:57] Any? [21:57] hi [21:57] VCoolio: no, emerald is not installed [21:57] parkerlreed, i dont think it does *Yet*, Windows and Apple always copy KDE, so give it some time, and windows will have that "window shake" that compiz has :) [21:57] can i dualboot w7 and ubuntu 9? [21:57] dAnjou: ok, it also has a metacity theme; in appearance, click customize, then the borders tab, try to apply them [21:58] kyncani, probably shoulndt do it when mounted, but i tried it from a startup disk [21:58] dAnjou: haha.. I just had to type Preferences in the dock [21:58] can i dualboot w7 and ubuntu 9? [21:58] hi all, who to install kde 4.4.4 on debian ? [21:58] dAnjou: brilliant [21:58] morgan1911: some virtual drives are specially formatted with holes inside them so they don't take up space like normal files until the space is actually written. That's all I can think of... [21:58] kyncani, think it said that like 102000 block of 122000 or something sued [21:58] Is it the windows shake that is enabled with the advanced effects? seanbrystone [21:58] pishguy: this is #ubuntu, not #debian [21:58] Hi. I was wondering if there is any way to install Ubuntu Server 9.10 from a USB stick.. I get to the installer but it tells me that it cant find the CD drive and id dont know how to go on from there.. if anyone can help me.. give me a PM.. thanx :=) [21:59] ........ [21:59] morgan1911: what I mean is that e2fsck won't check anything if the fs is clean but -f force checking [21:59] can anyone answer a simpel question plz [21:59] can i dualboot w7 and ubuntu 9? [21:59] VCoolio: nothing changed [21:59] kyncani, aha, yes i did a -f without anything strange reported [22:00] Strika: can't see why not. [22:00] Strika: yes you can [22:00] so do I need a grub.cfg even with grub 1.97~beta4? [22:00] finally! [22:00] thx :) [22:00] Losha, morgan1911: yeah but this is not shown to the virtualized os [22:00] dAnjou: if you run "metacity --replace" in a terminal, does that change anything? [22:00] Dunkirk, it gave me an error.. Now I cant remember it.. [22:00] Dunkirk, but something like it could not find the boot loader or something [22:00] jpds, VCoolio, dAnjou: is there any cool plugin for "Gnome Do" that you would point out to me? [22:01] VCoolio: i use compiz → should i do 'compiz --replce'? [22:01] morgan1911: do you know how big the virtual drive in virtualbox was configured as? [22:01] Losha, kyncani perhaps its ext4 that sucks and i have to go back to ext3 [22:01] knxville1: I suppose I should have qualified this. Is Windows 7 on the first partition of the first hard drive? [22:01] How come when I type in "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa", I don't see Firefox 3.6 after an update in Synaptic? [22:01] nrg__: 1.97 == grub2 [22:02] oh [22:02] madjoe: Files and Folders (it's preinstalled) [22:02] Dunkirk, no.. I think its the second.. [22:02] dAnjou: well, metacity --replace will indeed kill compiz for the moment, but compiz may also be the issue; else install fustion-icon, run that, it will show in the systray, right click and choose gtk as window decorator [22:02] so this is what happened [22:02] I had grub 1 before [22:02] ola [22:02] reinstalled windows [22:02] Losha, the onlu vbox vdi of significanse is on sdb [22:02] VCoolio: i'll try [22:02] morgan1911: well it's possible, ext4 *is* relatively new, but I would've thought we would have heard if it reports false sizes... [22:02] alguien k tenga tuenti? [22:02] then when i restored my bootloader, I installed grub2 by mistake [22:02] Dunkirk, yes its the second.. /Dev/sda2 [22:02] knxville1: OK, then the "hd(0,0)" bit should be "hd(0,1)". The first number is the hard drive, the second is the partition. Both start from zero. [22:02] dAnjou: fusion-icon I mean btw [22:02] betica: this is ubuntu support channel, not a chat room [22:03] Dunkirk, alright mate.. [22:03] so how do I upgrade to grub2? [22:03] knxville1: Roger.

I have upgraded to ubuntu 9.10 and now my sound does not work anymore. Already played with alsamixer but nothing happens. Can anyone give me a hint what i could do? Hardware is detected correctly too and aplay output seems to be correct. [22:13] tvw: I don't recall that file. You can see the mac via the ifconfig -a command though... [22:14] Losha: as far as I understand, it is a list, which says, which networking card is mapped to which device. [22:14] VCoolio: there is a metacity folder and i changed to metacity and switched between some themes, but the borders are still the wrong ones [22:15] afternoon everyone [22:15] tvw: not in any of the distros I'm familiar with, but then, there are a *lot* of distros.... [22:15] Losha: I cloned a VM and the clone is attached to new network cards with new MAC-addresses. now networking is broken. [22:15] hi all. kernel 2.6.31-20 broke my NIC. what information should i include in my bug report? [22:16] is anyone able to give me some info on directory structure? i'm setting up partitions for different folders and i need some guidance in sizing them, etc [22:16] !vic [22:16] tvw: what host/guest os ? [22:16] dAnjou: last shot, then I'm off to bed: if you do "ps -ef | grep [g]nome-settings-daemon" is that daemon running? [22:16] ubuntu 9.10 [22:16] My sound card worked when I installed ubuntu on a clean hard disk but after adding Windows XP the sound will only work in Windows.

[22:19] So I'm creating partitions for boot, tmp, opt, usr, var, and home [22:19] tvw: changing the mac shouldn't matter. Have you tried just restarting networking on the guest? [22:19] * hdon has 4 GB RAM and 3 GB swap [22:19] Losha: yes, I even rebooted the machine several times. [22:19] bribroder, you should know that /opt is not very different from /usr/locla [22:20] bribroder, most of the time if something doesn't go under /usr, it will be under /usr/local, not /opt [22:20] bribroder: you can certainly do that, but I feel it's overkill nowadays, and just increases the likelihood of running out of space on one partition while there's plenty left on another.... [22:20] hdon, it's my understanding that it's installed software, and i'd like to separate that from the root [22:21] hey people [22:21] i've got a lot of third party apps from google and adobe air apps that have been installing in /opt [22:21] bribroder, well i have about a million programs installed that i compiled from source, and by default they all go under /usr/local, not /opt [22:21] this is nonubuntu related but what is the biggest IRC server? [22:21] * hdon nods [22:21] im looking for a specific topic [22:21] hdon, is it possible to mount /opt and /usr to the same partition? [22:21] riahc3, efnet? [22:22] [hdon] thanks [22:22] hdon: 3rd party commercial apps tend to favour /opt I've noticed.... [22:22] bribroder, no i wasn't comparing /opt and /usr, i was comparing /opt and /usr/local [22:22] Losha, i have not noticed that. i have noticed they favour /usr/local [22:22] losha, i've noticed this, too [22:23] Losha: I solved the problem in a different way: I found out, that the new network device was attached to eth1. I guess since eth0 is blocked by the old devices MAC-address. So I just modified /etc/network/interfaces. [22:23] every time i start ubuntu i get: "The application Ubuntuone-client-applet (/usr/bin/python2.6) wants access to the default keyring but it's locked. [22:23] where is /tmp located physically? Is it in the HDD? [22:23] bribroder, Losha: http://lists.netisland.net/archives/plug/plug-2006-01/msg00131.html [22:23] hdon, Losha: typically apps that fit the bin/, share/, lib/ model will install to /usr/local. applications like eclipse, which are basically an entire directory tree, usually prefer /opt [22:23] losha and hdon, how much space would you allocate /var? [22:23] !tmp [22:23] Is there anyone that know how to install Ubuntu Server from a USB stick? [22:23] bribroder, it depends on how long you want to keep your logs. a server needs a very large /var [22:24] Steppzor: what is the problem? [22:24] Steppzor: I've done that.. [22:24] let's say a few days or a week or something, i don't anticipate going through my logs that often [22:25] natrixnatrix89: Well the computer where im trying to install Ubuntu Server on dont have a CDROM drive and well.. so it dosnt detect the install files.. [22:25] Steppzor: are you running ubuntu now? [22:25] no [22:26] Hi...how do I generate OLAP cubes on 9.10? Is there any tool available for it? [22:26] Steppzor: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ use this to install the *.iso on the usb [22:26] bribroder, a gig is probably plenty for your purposes then. but i'm not sure how on ubuntu to increase the log rotation frequency [22:27] thanks, hdon :) so would you recommend i mount /usr/local and /var/logs separately, rather than all of /var and /usr? [22:27] Steppzor: When it's installed you will be able to boot from that USB [22:27] i've heard it's a good idea to mount /usr as read only [22:27] Guys, there was this package for Ubuntu. xorg-psb . Is this still available in Ubuntu? [22:28] JoshuaL per your suggestion I just tried to install ubuntu-tweak but got this error message: "error: Dependency is not satisfiable: policykit-1-gnome|policykit-1-qt" [22:28] natrixnatrix89: yeah.. ive done that.. booted the stick.. im in the Ubuntu installer main menu after choosing language and stuff.. but here is the problem.. when it tries to load installer components from CD it fails cause no cd.. but USB stick.. [22:28] rkj, i can not help you with that. sorry [22:28] JoahuaL it looks like a useful tool [22:29] hi [22:29] Does anyone know about xorg-psb [22:29] and when i try to mount the sda1 with the command mount -t vfat sda1 /cdrom it tells me that i cant find the directory or files or something.. [22:29] bribroder, no, but i wouldn't recommend you have more than two partitions unless you are doing it for an important system (many users on your system, or a server) or for the experience :) [22:29] Steppzor: well. Ubuntu has a wonderful tool: USB startup disk creator. When I used it, everythind went fine and I could install the server easily [22:29] hdon, in this case i'm doing it for the pleasure of causing myself the trouble :) [22:29] ive got the most bizarre issue ive ever seen; in bash, the A key doesn't work. Every other key works in bash; every key works in every other application, including tcsh launched from bash. Its only the combination of bash and the A key that have a problem. [22:30] :) [22:30] im running 9.04 [22:30] xd [22:31] where is /tmp/ located physically? Is it in RAM or on HDD? [22:31] hdon, so should i mount /usr or /usr/local separately? [22:31] rkj, u can try this http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-tweak-0-5-2-released.html [22:31] natrixnatrix89: i dont see how thats gonna help me.. cause im in the installer.. booted fomr a USB stick.. but the installer tries only to install from a CDROM drive that it cant find.. so i cant get any where now.. just navigating the menu and picking my nose [22:31] lol [22:32] hi, tried converting a VOB file to AVI using ffmpeg but got no video, just sound - ffmpeg -i VTS_01_1.VOB -f avi -vcodec mpeg4 -b 800k -g 300 -bf 2 -acodec mp2 -ab 128k demo.avi - any ideaas? [22:33] i want to try mpd with gmpc but I cannot get it to find my music. where should my config file be? [22:33] folks, how to i find the /dev/sdX allocation of usb stick plugged into my krmic box? [22:33] Steppzor: I think the problem is in the tool you used to make that USB bootable. Because I'm sure I had completely no problems with my usb [22:34] enabling nvidia drivers causes my screen to become too wide and tall, cutting off the panels. i have tried changing resolutions to no avail, can't seem to fix this. [22:34] okey? so can you tell me in short how you did it? [22:34] Losha: I found the file ;-) /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules stores the mapping MAC-address/device. [22:34] Steppzor: so you really cant get a pc with ubuntu and just use startup USB creator? [22:34] Do you guys know any distro that has a support to Intel GMA500 video card? [22:34] Hi, I am having trouble getting wifi to work on ubuntu, I have run lspci and it said I am using AR922X chipset, I can connect to the network but Most of the time I don't get internet. I have a realy weak signal but with my ubuntu laptop it works fine (different card) [22:35] htpc: what kind of monitor do you have? [22:35] natrixnatrix89.. well then i have to reinstall regular Ubuntu on my laptop.. it crashed and i havent gotten around to fix it yet.. [22:35] htpc: it sounds to me like a monitor issue, my dell does that until I tell it to auto-adjust [22:35] gburton: i'm currently connected to a 37" LCD tv with hdmi [22:35] i have a dual boot setup, how can i make it so that it doesnt show grub unless i ask it to do so? [22:35] whats the resolution of the tv? [22:36] cappy: in terminal run dmesg [22:36] Steppzor: actually its already installed in the live cd [22:36] 1366x720 or something i think, gburton. i dont think it has an auto-adjust button, or at least i can't find it. [22:36] Steppzor: so you dont really have to install ubuntu [22:36] Hi, I am having trouble getting wifi to work on ubuntu, I have run lspci and it said I am using AR922X chipset, I can connect to the network but Most of the time I don't get internet. I have a realy weak signal but with my ubuntu laptop it works fine (different card) [22:36] just boot in the live cd and make a startup usb disk [22:36] !patience | pdddy [22:36] pdddy: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [22:36] 1366x768 is a common one for widescreen tv's [22:37] Sorry, I have searched everywhere [22:37] natrixnatrix89: ahh okey.. [22:37] but what is the command for listing drives again in terminal? [22:37] so waht should i do, gburton? [22:37] htpc: have you tried different frequencies? [22:37] hey can anyone tell me how to automate a bunch of commands stored in a text file, but have them run through sudo with my shell enviroment variables and .zshrc executed? [22:37] trying that now gburton [22:38] gburton: like uhm once a hour? [22:38] Besides vinagre, what are good VNC viewers for Ubuntu? tightvncviewer is awesome, but it feels a bit dated [22:38] eraggo: what? [22:38] gburton, i tried 60 and 50hz, neither worked. i'm putting my dad on, he's a bit of a noob [22:39] gburton: oops wrong [22:39] opcode: automating like once a hour? [22:39] what happens if you use 800x600 and set panning to the same? [22:40] should I mount /usr and /usr/local separately? [22:40] Losha or hdon? [22:40] Gburton, then it's crazy big. panels way off screen [22:40] eraggo: no, I have a list of applications stored in a text file and I need to loop over them and install each one, i just don't wnat to have to do it by hand [22:41] Supertanker: I use xvnc4viewer, although the interface is basically the same as tightvnc but with actual scrollbars [22:41] opcode: a list of applications as in package names? [22:41] eraggo: the problem is, I can execute "sudo gem install " by hand and it works properly, but if I put it in a script and execute it through bash, it doesn't work the same way. it's because my .zshrc file is setting up certain envrionmental variables, and sudo froma script seems to ignore them [22:41] trism, hmm, I'll take a looksee [22:41] well, it sounds like an issue with the monitor more than a gpu driver issue, although i'd have to see it to know for sure. [22:41] bribroder, if you're just trying to make things complicated for yourself, you may want to check out LVM and/or UnionFS [22:42] if you select 1366x768, what is the actual viewable area? [22:42] brjann: well, gem names for rubygems. The whole point of this is taht I've got about 108 separate gem pacakges that need to be isntalled, and I can install each one by executing "sudo gem install " from the command line, but I want to automate this so I don't ahve to keep typing it myself [22:42] like, from (0, 0) to (1366, 768) would be normal [22:42] gburton, it worked normally with the default driver before we installed nvidia drivers, fwiw [22:42] bribroder, LVM will allow you to do more complicated partition allocation (as well as other things) and UnionFS will allow you to do more complicated mounting (like mounting two different directories from the same filesystem at two different points) [22:42] but it's not as simple as writing a script to loop over the package (gem) names and install them, it doesn't seem to work that weay [22:42] opcode: can gem take multiple packages on the same line? you might be able to use xargs [22:43] guys I made a sequence of commands that give me a pid of certain process, how to I assign the resulting number to pkill ? [22:43] bribroder, UnionFS will let you do something like put /usr/local and /opt on the same filesystem partition [22:43] bribroder, i've never done it though, only read about it [22:43] brjann: that's an idea, lemme see [22:43] opcode: or you can make script that uses 'cat' somehow to read each line? [22:44] wpa_supplicant is says it is connected, but I cannot get an ip with dhclient wlan0 [22:44] hdon, great info, thanks much... how much space do you think i should allocate for /usr if i mount /usr/local separately? [22:44] opcode: even if not, you can use the (i think) -n 1 argument to xargs to make it execute once per line [22:44] heres the command sequence : ps ax | grep -v grep | grep test.py |awk '{print $1}' [22:44] abe3k: pkill $(ps ax | grep -v grep | grep test.py |awk '{print $1}') [22:44] eraggo: writing the script is not difficult, I've got one in ruby and one in bash, it's executing the line through sudo properly that's the difficulty. Executing sudo througha script doesn't seem to be the same as typing sudo from the command line [22:44] LjL : thanks alot! [22:45] bribroder, well if you use LVM i think you don't have to worry about that as much because its' easy to resize the partitions and filesystems later (well, make sure you pick a filesystem that resizes easily. lvm takes care of the partitions, but i don't think it touches the filesystems) [22:45] brjann: so xargs sudo should be the same as me executing sudo? [22:45] opcode: yep [22:46] hello can somebodyt help me installing linx? [22:46] brjann: lemme try that then [22:46] I have to edit a file named config.mk [22:46] opcode: if that doesn't work, you might try the -E option to sudo, which supposedly preserves environment variables [22:46] i'm looking for a on screen keyboard, any idea [22:46] s [22:46] opcode: but I've never used it, so I don't know [22:47] need to define this variables: [22:47] # CROSS_COMPILE is cross compiler prefix (including full path) [22:47] CROSS_COMPILE ?= [22:47] # KERNEL is the path to your kernel sources [22:47] KERNEL ?= [22:47] Dover: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[22:56] Hey, having some problems install ubuntu on an oldish server. The server has (only) SCSI drives, but Ubuntu installation and Live Cd won't pick them up (as well as gparted off live disc). Any help? [22:57] I have a strange networking problem: My internet connection and most sites work, but I cannot connect to some hosts on some ports. For example, I can ping the host, but I cannot connect on port 80 (telnet ... 80). When I start a VMWare VM (Windows), the connection works (telnet ... 80 in Windows shell). After restarting my system, the connections work again!! Can anyone point me a direction to look? [22:58] Cappy: check that thingy on system menu where you cna watch processes. There is tab for file systems [22:58] Could someone direct me to a guide on how to update my video card drivers [22:58] hi! im trying to add this: http://ubuntu-tweak.com/source/ricotz-testing/ but i already have a version from offical repos installed [22:58] when I try to play sound in boxee (pandora app), I get an error 'failed to initialize audio'. Log shows 'alsa error:Device or resource busy'. I've checked, and nothing else is using alsa. Why would I get this error (and how can I make sound work?) [22:58] brjann: yeah xargs doesn't seem tow ork either. It executes the command, but I don't think it's the same as me doing it manually [22:58] boehlke, wow, that's.. quite a peculiar problem [22:58] boehlke: launch (might need installed) firestarter and see if iptables is blocking communication for some reason? [22:58] boehlke: doubt it since vmware works, but meh.

[23:02] MilitantPotato, iptables rule tables are empty [23:02] boehlke, ok, the only other thing i can think of is that the networking bridge between your virtual machine and your linux system is somehow messing things up. i don't know about that part of VMWare, but i'm familiar with how it's done in other virtualization software, and there's plenty of room for error. try uninstalling vmware, or booting a live system from an ubuntu cd, and see if you can reproduce the connection problem [23:02] Hello, would this be the right channel to address questions about Lucid?
